At one point I read that 20-30 minutes 3 times a week is adequate cardio. I got that out of a heart monitor book.
Yeah, interval training and heavy lifting should ideally not be done on the same day. You can do intervals on the elliptical or stationary bike, or you could run. Other possibilities include Tabata burpees (very unpleasant) or high knees.
I don't think that 45 minutes on the elliptical is necessarily chronic cardio. However, doing the elliptical five times a week is a bit much. Your body will likely adapt to that routine fairly quickly, and then it wont' be as effective at helping you lose fat. Try to switch things up a bit. I don't know what your fitness level is like, but consider incorporating some easy runs/jogs for say 30 minutes at a time. Another possibility is walk uphill at a brisk pace (easiest to do on a treadmill unless you live in hilly country). I think that some amount of cardio is necessary for fat loss and good health (yes, I just said that cardio is healthy). Not telling you to start marathon training, but I do believe that moderate intensity and moderate duration cardio is beneficial. I don't think that long slow walks are sufficient (although long slow walks are definitely also beneficial, but it sounds like you already do that anyway).
**Disclaimer: I engage in chronic cardio on a regular basis so I'm like the person at the AA meeting who refuses to give up wine and insists on telling everyone else that a glass or two of wine a day is beneficial.**
At one point I read that 20-30 minutes 3 times a week is adequate cardio. I got that out of a heart monitor book.
Yeah, I'm definitely getting tired of the elliptical. I was getting on it for an hour a day, 5 days a week the first two months after I got it. Now that all the snow has melted and it's warming up I've been using it for shorter time periods and walking outside a lot more. And if it ever stops raining I'll unfold my bike and take it for a spin on occasion.
There are a lot of great parks with dirt trails through the woods around here so I think on Sundays I will drive to one of the parks and do 30 minutes of interval training. Can't run on pavement anymore because when I was in high school I ran cross country and kept injuring my feet in practice running on the street. Plus it's more fun to run in the woods anyway.

7 Tips to Help Rid Your House of Pet HairDevan McGuinness
One of the best things about my two cats is how fluffy they are. Their fur is soft and cuddly and makes the best pillow when I need to rest my head. On the other side, one of the worst things about owning a pet is all that pet hair that gets on to everything.
I don't think it's a good enough reason to not have a fluffy pet in your life, but just be smart about it. If you know that you're not going to want to deal with a lot of renegade pet hair, choose a pet or a specific breed that is less-likely to shed.
If you embrace the pet hair as a part of life with a pet — there are still some ways you can help rid your clothes and your house of pet hair and keep the fur at bay.
1. Prevention — brushing
One of the best ways of helping to get rid of the pet hair in your house is to prevent it from getting over all the things in the first place. You can do this by brushing your pet — more often for longer haired pets. Using a brush that's good at catching the pet hair, you won't have to deal with it when it's already become a problem.
Try out the FURemover Deluxe Brush (PetSmart, $35.69-$65.44) which comes in various sizes and uses metal bristles to pull out the hair that's shedding and holds on to it.
2. Sweeping cloths + vacuum
Have you ever tried to vacuum something up only to see it blow all over the floor? That can happen when you're vacuuming up large amounts of free-floating pet hair as well (that's not trapped in fabric). Use a special sweeping cloth broom that uses static electricity as a way to attract and stick to the pet hair, this way you won't just be blowing it all back into the air. There are a few products you can try including the Swiffer Sweeper Dry, $10.99.
There are a few vacuums on the market that are specifically designed to get rid of pet hair as well if that's more your thing verses using a dry mop. If you have a pet that sheds a lot or you know you won't be as apt to brush as often as you'd need — you should think about getting one of those vacuums. Try out the Animal Upright Vacuum by Dyson, $499.99-649.99.
3. Vinegar for laundry
Vinegar is one of those products that seems to do every thing we need it to do in order to keep things clean. When it comes to eliminating pet hair, vinegar is at the rescue again. If you find you have a lot of pet hair on your clothes, try adding vinegar to your next wash cycle.
Want tips on how to use vinegar as a pet hair remover for your clothes — check out the how-to on About.com.
4. Use a static spray
Pet hair likes to cling to everything and in this case, it's ability to cling to static is a bonus for anyone trying to get rid of the left over hairs. If you're wanting to keep your clothes, carpet, or couch free of pet hair — spray a generous amount of Static Guard and you'll be set.
Static Guard can also be useful in your own beauty routine to keep your hair free from the cling as well.
5. Tape roller
If you're looking for a quick in the moment kind of pet hair remover, all you need is some tape! Take the sticky side and pat it over your furniture, carpet, or clothes and the fur will lift right up and stick to it. There are other products available that use the same sticky idea in removing pet hair using products made out of a certain type of plastic that's a better option if you're tired of using all that tape.
6. Prevention — specialized shampoo
If you're looking to help your dog or cat shed less and thus preventing the amount of hair all over your stuff — their shampoo is a great place to start. There are many specialized pet shampoos that are designed to help reduce the amount of shedding your pet does. It's not only a handy thing if you're allergic to the dander or hair — but the laundry and your furniture will thank you too.
Looking for a shed-less shampoo — check out an oatmeal-based shampoo like Dr. Foster and Smith Advanced Formula Oatmeal Shampoo & Conditioner, $4.99
7. Use a balloon
You know how I said static is your friend when you're trying to remove pet hair? Balloons are a great way to generate static electricity and release the pet hair off what ever it is you're trying to get clean. Let's say you have a cat fur covered chair — take an aired-up balloon and rub it all over that chair and watch the fur lift up and cling to the balloon. It's like a fun science experimenter that will also rid your chair from all that pet fur!

A finance chief of the Guatemalan army's now-defunct presidential guard unit during the 2000-2004 administration of Alfonso Portillo was arrested here Monday on charges he embezzled more than $30 million in public funds.
Retired Lt. Col. Saul Mendez was detained in a residential neighborhood pursuant to a May 2005 warrant, a police spokesman said.
Prosecutors say Mendez, 50, was the ringleader of a group of officers who bilked the treasury out of 242 million quetzales ($30 million) by submitting invoices for non-existent transactions.
Four other military officers are in custody in connection with the case.
The presidential guard unit, which was responsible both for protecting the head of state and managing the finances of the president's office, was abolished under Portillo in favor of a new Department of Administrative Affairs and Security.
Portillo himself was accused of running a criminal scheme to divert more than 2.5 billion quetzales ($312 million), but he and two of his erstwhile to aides were acquitted of corruption charges in May 2011.
The former president remains behind bars, however, as he awaits likely extradition to the United States to face money laundering charges. EFE

An explosion of competing platforms, constantly changing standards and rapidly evolving device generations are some of the challenges faced by application developers for smart TVs, writes Janko Roettgers, who tried developing a Boxee app as an experiment. "Makers of TV sets had hoped that app stores would give them a whole new revenue stream, comparable to the income Google and Apple see with their mobile platforms. So far, that revenue hasn't materialized — and with no money on the table, independent developers have also stayed away," Roettgers writes.

text: High unemployment and reduced home values have pushed mortgage foreclosure rates to unprecedented levels in Ohio with one in every 518 housing units in foreclosure, according to data from Realty Trac. The "shadow inventory" of loans currently in foreclosure and properties now owned by lenders clouds the hope of recovery. With just 100,980 home sales in 2010, the market has shrunk almost 30 percent from its peak in 2005, according to the Ohio Association of Realtors (OAR). Nonetheless, there is a silver lining to the state's housing woes.

ACF and DOE Joint Letter Regarding Educational Stability for Children in Foster Care
This joint letter regarding the educational stability of children in foster care was issued by the Children's Bureau (CB), Administration for Children and Families (ACF) and the Department of Education (DOE) on May 30, 2014. This letter to Chief State School Officers and Child Welfare Directors reminds State educational agencies (SEAs) and State child welfare agencies (SCWAs) that SCWAs and local educational agencies (LEAs) are obligated to coordinate efforts to ensure the educational stability of students in foster care under the Fostering Connections to Success and Increasing Adoptions Act of 2008. The letter outlines requirements of the Fostering Connections Act and discusses the coordination necessary to ensure effective implementation of these requirements. The letter also discusses resources and information (including guidance on the Uninterrupted Scholars Act) available through a new ED webpage, Students in Foster Care, as well as the HHS resources available through the National Resource Center for Permanency and Family Connections website. (May 2014)
New Department of Education Resource Available for Current and Former Foster Care Youth
Educational Needs of Highly Mobile Children with Disabilities under IDEA
The US Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services at the Department of Education issued a policy letter addressing the rights of "highly mobile" students with disabilities. The letter specifies that "highly mobile children include children experiencing frequent family moves into new school districts, such as military-connected children, migrant children, children in the foster care system, and children who are homeless". The letter focuses on two main IDEA (The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act) issues – timely evaluation and eligibility (including that "response to intervention" approaches cannot be used to delay evaluation by receiving school districts) and comparable services at receiving school district, including Extended School Year services. The specific IDEA issues identified in this letter are of particular relevance to children in foster care. (July 19, 2013)
Department of Education (DOE) Letter, GEN-13-18: "Extended Foster Care
The Federal Department of Education (DOE) has been receiving inquiries from child welfare and financial aid offices about "how extended foster care payments made by a state directly to foster youth are treated when determining a student's Title IV student aid eligibility, including whether these payments should be reported on the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA)." There seemed to be inconsistencies with how Chafee funds provided to college students affected reported financial aid, as well as impact their eligibility for other financial aid. This issue affects an increasing number of students as more states pass legislation extending foster care up to the age of 21.
This letter issued by the DOE describes the treatment of extended foster care payments that are made directly to the student when determining Title IV federal student aid eligibility. (July 3, 2013)

SHEPHERDSTOWN - A sign. Seems simple enough. But what is on the sign? Where is it? Is it artwork? Does it count as advertising? These questions and many more are among those the Shepherdstown Planning Commission hopes to answer in its newly-drafted sign ordinance.
During a special meeting Thursday evening, the planning commission approved the revised ordinance, which has been in the works for more than two years, to be sent to the Shepherdstown Town Council for future approval.
The 16-page document contained regulations for all signs within the corporation. This included descriptions and regulations for residential and commercial wall-mounted signs, window signs, warning signs, sidewalk signs and many more.

Journal photo by Michelle Horst
The Shepherdstown Planning Commission has voted to send the new sign ordinance to the Shepherdstown Town Council for a future vote.
Karene Motivans, chair of the Shepherdstown Planning Commission, said one by one the commission is updating the corporation's ordinances and the current draft of the sign ordinance has been designed and revised based on feedback from public meetings.
"It was tough to review sign applications, because there were holes in our ordinance," Motivans said. "We are updating all our ordinances to make them more clear, more user friendly and much easier to be used."
Bane Schill, a commission member who was on the committee that put the sign ordinance together, said the current ordinances make the process difficult for new businesses to hang signage in town as they prepare to open.
For example, if a new business comes into Shepherdstown next week, it cannot simply hang a sign up. The business owner would have to go through a two-step process after a sign has been designed. This would include presenting the design to the Historic Landmarks Commission and the Planning Commission before a permit to hang the sign can be obtained.
"Depending on when (the business) hits the cycle, it could be maybe two months before they can put the sign up," Schill said. "With the new ordinance, there is a stipulation that if they come in and file a permit, they came come and put up a temporary sign."
According to the new ordinance, Section 9-210, the purpose of the ordinance is to establish "reasonable and impartial" regulations for the use of outdoor and indoor signs which are used for the purpose of attracting the attention of people outside to come in.
"We are just trying to make everything more clear," said Shepherdstown mayor Jim Auxer after the commission's vote.

Good Trading!
2012 was a year that saw Tim Cook put his mark on Apple, Facebook go through growing pains, Microsoft unveil perhaps the biggest product refresh in its history (though the jury's still out on its success), and the "post-PC era" turn into a reality, notes The Verge in its recap of the year's top tech stories. Looking ahead to 2013, it sees Apple overhauling iOS following a bumpy 2012, Google battling with Samsung over Android's future, and Microsoft, Sony, and perhaps Valve trying to invigorate a slumping console gaming industry.
Nokia has talked with Qualcomm, Microsoft, and Compal about developing a 10" Windows RT tablet, claims sometimes-accurate Digitimes, which adds the device could launch at February's Mobile World Congress Nokia tablet rumors were rife earlier this year.
Early sales of Microsoft's ( Surface RT have been weak, though its distribution, pricing, and ergonomics could have something to do with that. Separately, Bloomberg reports Microsoft has been drawing closer to HTC.
Microsoft roundup:
1) Tags on Microsoft's support site are fueling new speculation Office iPad apps will soon arrive. The Verge reported last month the apps will arrive in early 2013, but have limited features.
2) Microsoft has added Europe's Hoeft & Wessel and EINS SE to its long list of Android licensees. 3) The Bing unit is working on augmented reality apps for Windows 8 tablets and other devices.
4) Surface RT accounted for a mere 0.13% of North American tablet Web traffic measured by Chitika from Nov. 12-18. The iPad made up 88%.

MSFT market value is about $220 billion, which is $50 billion less than half Apple's and just slightly more than Google's. For a company with financials like Microsoft's, with earnings much better than Google's and slightly less than Apple's, that is low value. Its P/E ratio (at the time of writing) is a relatively low 14.3.
What a low ratio means is that a company is either headed for trouble or undervalued. In the case of a company as healthy as Microsoft, it's the second one.

Dog Beds Dog Grooming Dog Care—Chewing Dog Care Services Dog Dental Health Dogs and Benadryl Pain Management for Dogs Using Aspirin Senior Dog Care
Dogs need a comfortable place to rest because they can spend up to 16 hours a day sleeping! When you look for a dog bed, there are several things to consider:
If you own a dog that needs a lot of grooming, look for grooming packages that include all the supplies you'll need for your specific breed. Many catalogs and Web sites carry these packages to make it easier for owners to care for their dogs' coats. These packages are available for just about any breed, long- or short-haired.
Surprisingly, it's not just the long-haired dogs that need specific grooming supplies. Breeds with extremely dense, thick coats like Akitas require more grooming than other long-haired breeds because their coats tend to shed and mat. Investigate dog grooming supplies to keep your dog's coat in tip-top shape!
It's hard to get mad at your dog for chewing because it's normal dog behavior. However, you can control your dog's urge to chew with training, providing the right dog chewing toys and discouraging chewing on other items.
If you have to leave your dogs home alone, there are some great alternatives available that will keep them happy and healthy while you're working or traveling. Many dog care services will send sitters to your house to walk, feed and administer medications to your dog. Most of these dog care services are licensed and bonded, and have a veterinarian on call in case of emergencies.
In addition, many cities and towns now have doggie day care centers, where your dog can spend the day while you work. Your dog can play and interact with other dogs and get the vital exercise he or she needs. Dog care services are becoming more varied and available every day as more people bring the joy of dog ownership into their lives.
Dental care is essential to your dog's overall health and well-being. While your dog's teeth will be routinely examined during bi-annual checkups, veterinarians recommend that annual dental cleanings begin at age five.
You can also provide at-home dental care to ensure your dog has healthy teeth year-round. Use a brush, sponge or pad made especially for dogs to brush the teeth. Choose a brush that fits the size of your dog's mouth and is easy for you to use. Only use dog toothpaste because human toothpaste can upset your dog's digestive system. How can you train your dog to look forward to having his teeth cleaned? Always have a tartar control treat ready for your pet as a reward.
Has your dog ever been stung by a bee? Does your dog have allergy problems resulting in itchy skin? Veterinarians often recommend Benadryl or baby Benadryl to relieve these symptoms, but there are some important things you should know before taking the responsibility to dispense medications to your dog. In the same way all dog supplies are not created equal, over-the-counter (OTC) medications also have many variants. Do not give your dog any medication without first consulting your veterinarian.
Some OTC medications can be toxic or poisonous to your dog, such as Tylenol or Ibuprofren (found in Advil and Motrin). Always consult with a veterinarian before using OTC medications. You need to know if the medication is appropriate for your dog's condition and the proper dose for your pet's size. Without proper dose calculations you could unintentionally overdose your dog. Learn what's right for your specific animal and you can care for an ailing dog with confidence.
Adult dogs with joint problems such as arthritis can get relief from a small dose of aspirin, but it is very important to know the limits of aspirin, proper doses according to body weight, and other factors. Dogs can't handle prolonged use of aspirin; a condition called ASA Toxicosis (acetylsalicylic acid toxicosis) occurs when dogs get too much at once or smaller doses over an extended period. Symptoms include sluggish behavior, vomiting blood, weakness, and an unsteady gait.
Treatment options for overdoses are limited, especially if liver damage has occurred, but if you catch the problem early enough the dog may be able to recover. Never administer aspirin to a puppy or a pregnant dog, and always check with your veterinarian for advice before trying to medicate with aspirin. It's very important to know that when aspirin is allowed, you cannot substitute with other pain relievers such as Motrin or Tylenol. These alternative pain medications are toxic to dogs. Ask your veterinarian about the latest dog care information to learn of new developments in dog pain management. You may pay more for a dog-specific pain medication, but you may find a more appropriate long-term solution.
As your dog ages, his nutritional needs change. You may have to switch to a senior dog food formula so your dog doesn't gain weight, and you may notice a change in your dog's activity level. Watch for other signs of aging: a change in eating and drinking habits, limping, bumps, sores on the skin and under the skin, decreased activity and mobility and hair loss.
If you notice any of these symptoms, take your dog to your veterinarian immediately. These could be signs of other serious diseases that can afflict a senior dog, such as arthritis, kidney disease, diabetes, and even loss of mental function. Never assume these symptoms are simply a normal part of the aging process; seek professional advice.

The city's most recent homicide shocked many with its apparent brutality. Now, police believe they have one of those responsible in custody - a 21-year-old man has been charged with homicide. Police say the man shot and killed Ansari Wilson, 21, in a residence on Scott Street Saturday evening.
Tyrell Boyd, 21, of 4918 N. Ninth St. in Philadelphia, has been charged with criminal homicide, felony aggravated assault, carrying a firearm without a license and fleeing apprehension.
Shots rang out on Scott Street at about 5:30 p.m. on Saturday, prompting frightened citizens to contact police. The first officers on the scene peered through the window of 1510 Scott St. and found a grisly sight - Wilson lying on the living room floor, bleeding and unresponsive.
Article Photos
Paramedics rushed Wilson to the Williamsport Regional Medical Center for the apparent gunshot wounds in his abdomen. However, doctors were unable to save the injured man. He was pronounced dead at about 6 p.m., according to reports.
Luckily, investigators were able to follow a string of evidence from around and near the crime scene. Inside the home, police uncovered handgun casings and a bullet, records state.
Witnesses also came forward to help authorities. One woman told investigators that she had received a phone call from Boyd shortly after the shooting had occurred, according to reports.
Fact Box
Mayor to address public
In the wake of Saturday's shooting that claimed the life of 21-year-old Ansari Wilson, city Mayor Gabriel J. Campana has announced that he will hold a news conference Wednesday, outside of the 1510 Scott St. residence where Wilson was shot, to discuss his plans for public safety.
Open to the public, the news conference will begin at 5:30 p.m., the approximate time of Wilson's death.
WHAT: Mayor's public safety announcement
WHEN: 5:30 p.m. Wednesday
WHERE: Outside 1510 Scott St.
"I just hit Muk," Boyd allegedly told the woman.
In the affidavit, police wrote that the witness understood that by "hit" Boyd apparently meant "shooting," and that "Muk" apparent was a nickname for Wilson.
"He died from a gunshot wound to the abdomen," Lycoming County Coroner Charles E. Kiessling said Monday shortly after an autopsy was performed. The coroner was unwilling to say how many times Wilson was struck by gunfire, but he said "there was one (bullet wound) that was in the right place to put him down." Other details are being kept confidential as authorities continue their investigation.
Police tracked Boyd to Philadelphia, where he allegedly fled soon after the shooting, records state.
Although only a young man, Boyd already has a criminal record. His previous convictions for possession with attempt to deliver (drugs) and aggravated assault make it illegal for him to carry a firearm, according to police.
Boyd was arraigned Monday evening before District Judge James H. Sortman. He currently is incarcerated without bail.
A toxicology of Wilson's body and full autopsy report won't be ready for several weeks. In the meantime, his remains have been released to a funeral home in Philadelphia at the request of his family, according to officials.
The Sun-Gazette initially incorrectly reported the suspect's age to be 14.

Where I stayed
Paradise didn't come easy though. Right after Florence we went to Naples, but with a stopover in Rome. We had to wait five hours in Rome for the station to open back up so we could get on the first train out of there to Naples.
Right when we got there we picked up this American guy who was so grateful to have a group of people to stick with through the night that he payed for our food. I'm really glad I asked him to join us while we waited.
The four of us stuck together and watched each others backs
Anyways, after several more harrowing, heart-pumping and exciting experiences we made it to Naples. We saw Pompeii and even met, by pure coincidence, Canadian Mike, his sister and Miss Pink, while wandering the ruins of Pompeii.
We ate lots of pizza, watched our backs like crazy, and left for Corfu. It was another adventure actually trying to make it there. The fact that we cannot speak Italian and the chaotic Italian rail system made it very difficult just to get from one side of the penninsula to the other.
At one station the message boards on each platform showed incorrect times and even the incorrect train. We arrived at 4 o clock and all of the trains were listed as leaving during the 2 o clock hour! We finally made it on a train to Bari, met some American girls who were going to Corfu too and followed them to Brindisi instead of Bari, where we were originally headed. Once there we took a long trek to their hostel.
When we got there I felt like Dante after he had trekked through Hell and Pergutory and finally arrived in Heaven. We stumbled upon an outdoor party where we were given Vodka to drink and the hostel owner hooked us up with a cut rate deal on a speedboat to Corfu the next day
Once in Corfu it was basically "spring break" time, only with Canadians. There is a toga party on Saturday and a booze cruise the next day. It is, as Justen and Mike put it, "a vacation from our vacation."
P.S. - MTV is here so I might be on TV! Then again isn't MTV always around? ('Sorority Life' at Davis)

PHILADELPHIA -- The 2014 Pro Bowl rosters were announced on Friday night, and the Eagles are well represented -- but not quite as well as most expected.
Running back LeSean McCoy and offensive tackle Jason Peters are headed to the Pro Bowl, but Nick Foles, DeSean Jackson, Jason Kelce and Evan Mathis -- who many felt were deserving -- were all left off.
Some of those players could end up on the roster, however, as Foles is a first alternate, and Mathis and Jackson are second alternates.
The Eagles were not expecting to get any defensive players on the Pro Bowl team, although linebacker DeMeco Ryans made a strong case. The linebacker has 120 tackles, four sacks and two interceptions heading into Sunday's game against Dallas.
McCoy is leading the NFL in rushing this season and, barring a miracle on Sunday, will be the first Eagle to lead the league in rushing in a season in over 40 years. The running back has 1,476 yards and nine touchdowns, to go along with 51 catches for 536 yards and a touchdown.
"It means a lot to me," McCoy said. "It's exciting. A lot of my teammates have helped me out to get to this point. It's exciting, I can't wait to enjoy this time with my family. I'm taking my son for the first time."
Earlier in the day, McCoy tweeted he was hopeful of making it.
Ight t world lets pray I made the Pro Bowl— Lesean McCoy (@CutonDime25) December 27, 2013
Peters is coming off of a season-ending knee injury, and has regained his Pro Bowl form -- making this one extra special.
"This is really special," Peters said. "Two Achilles surgeries, people thought I wasn't going to even be able to play football again. The doctors – especially after the second one – they didn't think I was going to be able to play at a high level. They maybe thought that I could come back and play, but not at a high level. So I never took it for granted. Every year, I try to work to make the Pro Bowl. And I just know, if I'm working to make the Pro Bowl the team is going to succeed."
The news of Foles being left off, however, might be the biggest shocker.
Foles has had one of the more miraculous seasons of any player in the league, as he went from backup to Sports Illustrated cover boy in a matter of weeks. The second-year player has 25 touchdowns, two interceptions and 2,628 yards in just 12 games this season, and has led the Eagles to an 8-2 record in games he started. It is possible that his lack of playing time kept him off.
Eagles fans now have to hope he proves everyone wrong on Sunday night for leaving him off the roster.

To the Editor.—In introducing their excellent review on exploratory celiotomy for patients with truncal stab wounds, Sirinek and associates1 note, "Introduction of the principle of mandatory exploration for all penetrating abdominal wounds during World War II resulted in markedly improved morbidity and mortality rates." Although it may be a matter of diction, I believe we should date the introduction of the principle of mandatory exploration of penetrating abdominal war wounds to World War I when the British surgeon Cuthbert Wallace proclaimed, "No man shot in the belly would be left to lie in a hospital bed in a civilian hospital.... Abdominal surgery, to be successful, must be done at once."2
Under Wallace's leadership, British surgeons near the front were operating on abdominal wounds with success by the summer of 1915. For 3520 abdominal operations performed from July 15 to September 19, 1917, the operative mortality was 53%,

Litago's interactive campaign–choosing your own milk flavor
Litago, a flavored-milk brand from Norway, designed a creative campaign. It posted the question "What happens when you give the cows the power to decide what is produced with their milk? For this campaign, Litago wanted to gather the ideas of consumers' preferred flavor, and chose the most popular one as the new flavor.
Unlike other poll campaigns, Litago lets the cows choose the flavors, instead of consumers. In this case, the market research became an interesting and interactive game and the creative concept gathered more attention from consumers.
For the campaign game, a field is divided into 25 squares, each representing a flavor. Those 25 flavors were gotten from consumers' votes, and the range is from Riskrem, chocolate with marshmallows, and even pancakes with syrup. There were 10 cows in that field. In order for a flavor to win, the cows must spend the most time in that square overall. In the end, the chosen flavor will be developed and sold.
In addition, consumers also could interact with cows in order to let cows change their decisions. For example, they can use bananas to lure the cows, drive cows away by musical instruments, etc.
In order to keep track of everything, ten cows were hooked up to various monitoring equipment to show what squares they were in and for how long. This is recorded and broadcasted in real-time online and automatically tallied (the video shows satellite technology being used). The cows Tweet every time they change location, along with Facebook profiles and personalities developed for each cow.
In the end, a flavor with Norwegian traditional pudding tastes was chosen as the most popular among 25 flavors.
The concept is kind of the same as the Bobbi Brow Facebook campaign, rewarding brand loyalists and builds future purchases at the same time.

Customer Reviews for Wingate Salon & Spa (8)
October 18, 2012
Top Notch Spa
Really - top of the line. I started going here after moving to the area and receiving a SpaFinder gift card as a "going away" prize from my former employer. It is a treat of a spa - the atmosphere is really cool. Old Victorian building. I have not tried the hair stylists at all but the pedicures are very high end, better than received at other places. Facials are nice and the product is delicate for my skin. The massages are what I have enjoyed the most - I haven't had a bad one yet and have used different people. They have last minute discounts and coupons a lot of the time for some nice savings. I send a lot of people here :)

Wonderful atmosphere-average to good treatments
I've visited The Wingate at least 5 times over the last two years. The Pros: The atmosphere is exceptional-I truly enjoy the tea, hot & iced and quaint waiting area. The building really sets a nice tone for a relaxing environment. The Pedicure of the month is always a great deal-sweet treat at the end of the pedicure and it's run at a special rate vs a standard spa pedi-and you get the same treatment. Also-joining their email club is a benefit-you can book last minute appts. at a discount. The pedi's, scrubs and paraffin treatments are excellent. The massage services have not shown to be worth a repeat booking. The Cons: Areas that need to be addressed are: the initial check in-on my 1st visit I wasn't greeted-two staff assumed I knew where to go. They suggested I have a seat, without showing me where to walk through to the actual waiting area. I wandered in the make up/product area until someone directed me. Also-when I asked about facial products, the staff seemed too busy to assist. Massage...not a great experience-temperatures were off, my therapist wasn't responsive to my needs-she seemed tired and distracted. Lots of staff chatting during Pedi's in the Pedi room-annoying to have many conversations, gossiping going on.

Great for group pedicures
This place is great to do a group gathering with mani and pedis. They even have a separate room you can use to sit and have snacks with your group while you wait for your treatments. Definitely A+.

hair problem followed by a blaming nasty hospitality manager
I have had many satisfactory services at the Wingate but this weekend I had my hair colored with less than desirable results. I had hair color stains all over my face and dark black hair. The worst part by far was that my stylist did not call me back but instead I received a call from the hospitality manager. This individual raised her voice, said that I should not be calling after I left the salon, and stated thet the problem was mine since so many others were happy. I have had many good services here (not detail oriented) and certainly not high end (they use shampoo sold in grocery stores) but good. This was a horrible experience and I would advise anyone with a complaint to leave without saying anything as feedback is returned by blaming the client.

You could easily spend a few hours here!
I've had many visits to the Wingate Salon since my move to NH. I love the atmosphere of being in an older style home with many rooms with various treatments going on in them. I enjoyed the pedicure treatment the most - which i had in the summer. You sit in a comfy overstuffed type chair in a living room type environment with all the other people have pedicures ... it would be fun to do as a group where you could all talk while getting your feet pampered! I've had a hot stone massage there and that felt awesome... i would definately go back for that! I've also had a facial there and my only complaint was that the beautician was a little forceful around my nose area trying to clean out pores after steaming my face for 5 minutes. Other than that slight complaint - the facial was cleansing and refreshing. I've had varied experiences in the hair salon - once coming out loving the cut, and another time feeling that nothing looked any different, but overall the people coming out of the hair salon look happy with their new looks! They have so much to offer - you could easily book a full afternoon here getting pampered from head to toe!

Best in NH
My friends and I do a yearly retreat to the Wingate and it is a great place. We used to go to different places each year, but we are going back for our third year in a row because it was so fabulous. Pleasant and experienced staff. Wonderful facility and good pricing. The tea service is so nice at the end and a great treat. Would always recommend to anyone in the area.

The exit interview
I have enjoyed their tea time and their services and have experienced emerging out of each room relaxed and properly pampered. However, due to at least two incidences at the check-out I am wary of coming back. The woman at the desk mechanically (bordering on unfriendly) "dealt" with me. Understanding that we all have our days I brushed that tiny encounter aside, at least twice. I was on their email list for promotions and specials when I decided to use one with my sister. That same woman at the desk questioned that I was on that email list and I felt myself getting defensive! The proper thing would be to quietly verify it on her system if she really wanted to know. Again, the rest of the staff was truly delightful. A crass, perhaps bitter and disrespectful attitude should never creep into the spa scene - it ruins it for everyone.
