Surgeries that were once performed only in a hospital or surgery centers are becoming more common in converted exam rooms and surgical suites in physicians' offices.
Many of these procedures require
general anesthesia
or IV sedation. Yet, in some states, there are few standards, regulations, or accreditation requirements for surgeries performed in physician offices.
Considering the complexity of some surgery, and the anesthesia used, you may wonder if this trend is a safe one. If you have a doctor who wants to use the office for your next surgery, here is some information to get you started.
Without the same safety regulations as hospital surgery, office-based surgeries could cause serious complications. There have been reports of deaths resulting from the following situations:
Regulation requirements differ among states. Make sure you check them before you have your surgery.
The trend toward office-based surgery is driven by several factors, including:
Hospitals and surgery centers must meet strict state and federal licensing and accreditation guidelines. They also have medical boards that oversee practitioners' qualifications and credentials. On the other hand, inconsistent standards exist for office-based surgery. Some states have addressed the issue of office-based surgery and implemented regulatory requirements while others are relatively unregulated.
There are efforts to standardize surgical safety for office-based procedures. For example, the American Society for Anesthesiologists has created guidelines for office-based anesthesia. Also, the Institute for safety in Office-Based Surgery (ISOBS) created checklists which cover items from the preoperative period through discharge to help keep patients safe.
Once you move from local anesthesia to IV sedation or general anesthesia, the risk for complications such as respiratory distress or
heart attack
increases. In rare cases, patients can even have a life-threatening reaction to local anesthesia.
Regardless of how minor the surgery, certain patients, particularly those with serious health conditions, such as
heart disease, or uncontrolled
high blood pressure or diabetes should not have surgery in a physician's office.
Before you have surgery in a doctor's office, the American Society of Anesthesiologists recommends that you ask the following questions:
As a patient, you should to be aware of the risks and benefits of surgery in any setting. If you have any concerns or questions, make sure you talk to your doctor.

Excerpt from "Energy for Change: Introduction to the Special Issue on Energy & Climate Change":
"Without energy, there is no economy. Without climate, there is no environment. Without economy and environment, there is no material well-being, no civil society, no personal or national security. The overriding problem associated with these realities, of course, is that the world has long been getting most of the energy its economies need from fossil fuels whose emissions are imperiling the climate that its environment needs.
Compounding that predicament are emissions from land-use changeabove all, deforestation in the developing countries of the tropics. Like societys choices about energy supply and use, this process has been driven by powerful economic and political forces insufficiently moderated by understanding or consideration of the environmental component of societal well-being.
This is no longer a hypothetical or distant issue. It is real and it is upon us. The climate is changing markedly nearly everywhere. The air and the oceans are warming, mountain glaciers are disappearing, permafrost is thawing, sea ice is shrinking, the great land ice sheets on Greenland and Antarctica are slipping, and sea level is rising. And the consequences for human well-being are already being felt: more heat waves, floods, droughts, and wildfires; tropical diseases reaching into the temperate zones; vast areas of forest being destroyed by pest outbreaks linked to warming; hurricanes and typhoons of greater power; and coastal property increasingly at risk from the surging seas.
All this is happening faster than was expected. Sea level is rising at twice the average rate for the 20th century. The volume of sea ice in the Arctic (its area times its average thickness), which reaches a seasonal minimum every September, appears to have been smaller in September 2008 than in any year of the last 30the period in which weve been able to estimate this variable. In that same 30 years, the average area annually burned by wildfires in the western United States has quadrupled.
Nor is the primary cause of these changes any longer in serious doubt. The primary cause is the emission of carbon dioxide and other heat-trapping pollutants from our factories, homes, offices, vehicles, and power plants, and from land clearing. We also know that failure to curb these emissions will bring far bigger impacts from global climate change than those experienced so far. Drastic changes in weather patterns, sharp drops in the productivity of farms and ocean fisheries, a dramatic acceleration of species extinctions, and inundation of low-lying areas by rising sea level are among the possible outcomes.
But we also know what we can and must do to avoid the worst of these possibilities. We must work togetherEast and West and North and Southto transform our technologies for supplying and using energy from polluting and wasteful to clean and efficient. We must create new incentives and agreements to accelerate this transformation, and to bring deforestation and other destructive land-use practices to a halt around the world. And we must invest in adaptation efforts to reduce our vulnerability to the degree of climate change that can no longer be avoided.
We can do this together. And when we do, we will benefit not only by avoiding the worst damage from climate change, but also by reducing our perilous overdependence on petroleum, alleviating the air pollution that afflicts our cities, preserving our forests as havens for biodiversity and sources of sustainable livelihoods, and unleashing a new wave of technological innovationgenerating new businesses, new jobs, and new growth in the course of creating the clean and efficient energy systems of the future.
The key question we now need to heed about what the science of climate change is telling us is how much progress we need to make with these measures,and how quickly, to have a good chance of avoiding climate changes more extreme than our adaptation efforts will be able to manage. And the science is increasingly clear in pointing to the conclusion that it will be essential to hold the global average temperature increase to no more than two degrees Celsius if we are to keep climate change to a manageable level.
It is likewise clear that if we are to have a good chance of meeting this goal, global emissions of carbon dioxide and other heat-trapping pollutants must level off by about 2020 and decline thereafter to something like 50 percent of the current levels by 2050, with continuing declines after that. Allowing for the larger historical responsibility and much higher current per capita emissions of the industrialized countries and for the development trajectories and aspirations of the developing ones, the most likely way to achieve this goal would be for the industrialized world to level off its emissions by 2015 and reduce them thereafter to around 20 percent of current levels by 2050, with the developing countries following after a lag of about a decade, leveling off their emissions by about 2025 and reducing them after that.
These are targets that we can meet. As the content of this special issue of Innovations illustrates, the solutions to our climate challenge arent just "out there," they are right herebefore your eyes, in your hands. Climate solutions are in California, which thirty years ago charted a course toward energy efficiency that other states are only now beginning to follow. They are in Brazil, which generates 50% of the fuel used in its cars from home-grown sugarcane. They are in New Hampshire, where a company started by a former nuclear engineer is working to develop the carbon capture and storage technologies that will be essential for a cleaner coal future. They are in Hawaii, where plug-in electric vehicles are quietly becoming a reality. And they are in Arkansas, where the worlds biggest companyWalmartis establishing standards for energy use and carbon reductions that will apply not only to its global operations but to its entire supply chain.
These and the other innovations described in this special issue are not isolated anecdotes. Nor are they elements of any single grand plan. They are simply a few of the many pathways to progress created every day by citizens, by the businesses that serve them, and by the governments that represent them. Such pathways derive from another other type of energy vital to addressing our climate challenges: the creative energy of people who, through ingenuity, partnerships, and collaborations, are able to cut through complexity to arrive at practical solutions. We can ask for no better guides than they to lead us toward the prosperous and secure future to which we all aspire...."

Strike teams stretched thin at Apache Pass brushfire
A dozen homes are on a Level 2 evacuation notice near Creston, where the Apache Pass fire has burned nearly 18,000 acres.
Winds on Tuesday were gusting at about 15 miles per hour, a far cry from Monday, when higher wind gusts blew the fire from 3,400 acres to 18,000 in short order. With those gusting winds it has made it very tricky for firefighters to get a handle on this blaze.
Just behind Ed Ladewig's home south of Creston stretch acres and acres of blackened earth.
"It was a solid wall of flame all the way along," Ladewig said.
"It was a funny fire. It would run and then it would change directions," he said.
Stretched thin across the region fire fighters sent what they could to Ladewig's home.
"We were the only strike team that was available. When we got here it was kinda nerve wracking. It looked like we could hold it and then all the sudden the wind kicked up and we were off to the races. Not much we could do to it," strike team leader Jerry Lease said.
In some cases they could do nothing but watch.
"Twenty foot flame lengths in this kind of grass is amazing activity," Lease said.
About a dozen homes were put on Level 2 evacuation notice as the fire burned close to 20,000 acres. Helicopters were called in and worked to stop the head of the fire. Now, in addition to Lease's strike team two more are on the ground helping get the Apache Pass fire under control. Team leader Lease said they could use more boots on the ground.
"A fire this size should be six or eight at least," Lease said.
A bulldozer worked in tandem with air support trying to put a ring around the fire and with fewer crews on the ground every effort counted.
"Because we are so thin if something pops up we have to be really quick and get to it," Lease explained.
It definitely had Ed Ladewig counting his blessings.
"They're here all day and sure appreciate what they did. Saved our home," he said.
Fire officials say they don't anticipate raising the levels of evacuation, however they are telling home owners in the area to be aware of the situation.

Report of the U.S. Delegate, 11th Session, Codex Committee on North America and the South West Pacific
Sept 28 - Oct 1, 2010
Nuku'alofa, Tonga
The 11th Session of the Codex Committee for North America and the South West Pacific (CCNASWP), held from September 28-October 1, 2010, largely focused on issues referred from the 33rd Codex Alimentarius Commission (CAC) held in July 2010, including: Private Standards, a Processed Cheese Standard, and Traceability in Foods. There was also further discussion on the 2008-2013 Codex Strategic Plan and the 2008-2013 CCNASWP Strategic Plan. There were also renewed proposals for commodity standards for Kava and Nonu (Noni), two products largely consumed and traded by the Pacific Island Countries (PICs). One day prior to the Session, the FAO/WHO held a Technical Workshop entitled "Food Labeling and Date Marking." Further details on these and other items considered by the 11th Session of CCNASWP are given below.
The 11th Session of CCNASWP was attended by 25 delegates representing 13 member countries, one observer from one Member country outside of the Region (Philippines), one non-Member observer organization and representatives of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and the World Health Organization (WHO). The United States was represented by Marie Maratos, International Issues Analyst in the U.S. Codex office, FSIS, USDA.
The full report of the 11th Session is currently available on the Codex ( www.codexalimentarius.net) and will soon be made available on the U.S. Codex website (http://www.fsis.usda.gov/wps/portal/fsis/topics/international-affairs/us-codex-alimentarius/recent-delegation-reports).
Private Standards
The existence and proliferation of private standards was one of the issues referred to the coordinating committee from the 33rd Session of the CAC. The Committee recognized that most Member problems stemmed from a lack of mutual recognition of standards by private standards holders, cost increases regarding compliance and certification, and a lack of transparency and/or consultation in the development of such standards.
The majority of the PICs pointed out their limited experience in terms of compliance with private standards. They also noted the financial implications associated with meeting such standards, including the need to send samples overseas to accredited laboratories and for increased capacity building within their respective countries.
The United States welcomed the experiences raised by Members during the recent Codex meetings, including the 33rd Session of the CAC and the 11th Session of CCNASWP. The United States reiterated that Members should help ensure that Codex standard setting is efficient and addresses the needs of Members so that Codex standards are available for their use. With this in mind, the United States encouraged Members to identify gaps in Codex standards and channel suggestions for new work consistent with the mandate and procedures of Codex through the appropriate Codex Committee(s). The United States also encouraged Codex Members to meet with private sector standards developing organizations to promote Codex standards being taken into account in their work.
Processed Cheese
The 33rd Session of the CAC also referred the question on the necessity of a standard on processed cheese to the coordinating committees, since there are a variety of processed cheese production methods currently in use throughout the world.
The United States did not support the development of either an international or a regional Codex standard for processed cheese. The delegate underlined that the existing key differences with processed cheese were extensively deliberated in the Codex Committee on Milk and Milk Products (CCMMP) without resolution, and as a result the only possible outcome was to discontinue work on this issue.
Due to varying production methods, permitted ingredients, additives, composition, and nomenclature used to distinguish products in the marketplace, the Committee agreed that it was best to discontinue work on the international standard for processed cheese. Moreover, the Committee agreed that regional standards would not reflect the product differences currently available in the market and would result in possible trade impediments in the future.
Traceability in Foods
The 32nd Session of the CAC endorsed the recommendation of the Committee on Food Import and Export Inspection and Certification Systems (CCFICS) that the Coordinating Committees discuss the need for further guidance on traceability/product tracing. The outcomes of these discussions will be presented at the 34th Session of the Commission in July 2011.
At this Session of CCNASWP, the United States stipulated that it was premature to propose new work for guidance on traceability/product tracing. After some discussion, the Committee agreed that there was no need, at this time, for further guidance on traceability/product tracing.
CCNASWP Strategic Plan 2008-2013
A preliminary CCNASWP Strategic Plan had been developed at the 9th Session of CCNASWP in October 2006; the revised CCNASWP Strategic Plan was then presented to the 10th Session in October 2008 for consideration. At this Session, the Delegation of Tonga introduced the report on the status of implementation of the Strategic Plan for CCNASWP 2008-2013.
Specifically, the plan focuses on, among other things, improving the coordination and communication of the Region's activities in Codex, with particular emphasis on the engagement of the PICs in developing their knowledge of issues coming before the Codex Committees. It also focuses on the need for developing country positions and submitting country comments to Circular Letters (CLs) on issues that matter to the PICs. Finally, it focuses on enhancing effective participation by the PICs in Codex, particularly though use of the Codex Trust Fund (CTF).
The CCNASWP Strategic Plan also includes provisions for strengthening the exchange of scientific and technical expertise among the developed and developing countries of the Region. The United States reaffirmed its commitment to helping other CCNASWP members with the scientific analysis in support of standards development. The delegates also discussed the need to enhance mentoring opportunities within the Region, but to not necessarily replace direct bilateral contacts.
The CCNASWP Strategic Plan seeks to develop the capability of Codex Contact Points within the Region. Until now, some Codex Contact Points have had difficulty circulating documents to their stakeholders and obtaining country positions and draft responses prior to the allotted deadlines. In order to enhance their capabilities, the Committee decided to upload all CLs on the CCNASWP website ( www.ccnaswp.org) so that stakeholders and other interested parties can access the documents directly.
Codex Strategic Plan 2013-2018
The 33rd Session of the CAC agreed to circulate a questionnaire to the coordinating committees with regard to the Codex Strategic Plan of 2013-2018. The questionnaire focused on a variety of topics, including the relevance of the existing goals, the challenges Codex faces, and the goals/activities for the next plan.
The United States affirmed that all of the existing goals in the Codex Strategic Plan were relevant for the current circumstances, however the actions to achieve the objectives would need to be reviewed to take into account the challenges and priorities of future work. In this regard, the Committee identified certain challenges to future Codex work, including the influence of non-science factors, the need for effective participation of developing countries, and the strengthening of management capacity.
The United States further affirmed that the current Strategic Plan provided an adequate framework for dealing with the food safety consequences of climate change and new production technologies (e.g., nanotechnology). Therefore, when such matters arise in the future, they will be best dealt with in the relevant Committee. The CCNASWP delegates agreed that the current Strategic Plan already provided a sufficient structure for dealing with the challenges of scientific and technological developments.
Codex Trust Fund
The United States agreed with the Commission's observations that the Codex Trust Fund (CTF) has greatly benefited developing countries in increasing their participation in Codex. The United States encouraged the Commission to continue its support of the CTF and to assist developing countries in submitting work of relevance to them.
The United States indicated that the niche for the CTF lies in capacity building of national structures in developing countries to ensure effective participation (e.g., strengthening awareness and training in Codex operations). As such, the United States stated that greater emphasis should be given to Objectives 2 and 3 in order to improve the quality of their participation in Codex. Technical workshops, like the one FAO/WHO held on September 27th on "Food Labeling and Date Marking," prove useful in widening and strengthening developing country participation in Codex. After some discussion, the Committee agreed that there should be a shift in emphasis from Objective 1 to Objectives 2 and 3 (with more focus on Objective 2).
The Committee agreed that the CTF eligibility criteria were still valid, but that consideration should be given to the quality of participation. The United States stated that the CTF should monitor post-graduation participation and have some flexibility in providing assistance to countries that are no longer eligible for the CTF. The Committee agreed on the need for flexibility in the application of the eligibility criteria to ensure that graduate countries continue to participate in Codex. The United States also proposed that participant reports could help identify trends and issues regarding participation numbers. Based on all of the above, the Committee felt that it was premature to make any recommendations on the CTF's lifespan since an analysis of countries' participation and the implementation of the mid-term review were still needed.
Kava Standard
At the 10th Session of CCNASWP in October 2008, the Coordinating Committee agreed that prior to considering the standardization of Kava for food, further scientific research would be needed to clarify safety issues. At that Session, the WHO Representative presented a report (CX/NASWP 08/10/7), noting the uncertain safety of Kava. The report also noted that appropriate measures needed to be applied for the prevention of health risks arising from Kava consumption. Moreover, it indicated that it was premature to treat Kava as a food due to the effects attributed to its pharmacological properties.
In preparation for the 11th Session of CCNASWP, the PICs, working via an electronic Working Group, developed a Discussion Paper that included a Project Document, proposing an international standard for Kava in Codex.
Unfortunately, many of the core questions previously raised by the WHO were still not addressed in the Discussion Paper. Consequently, the WHO Representative tabled a Conference Room Document (CRD 2) containing the report they presented at the 10th Session on the inadequate safety assessment on Kava.
Several delegations pointed out that a number of health-related scientific and technical questions still needed to be answered. The delegates also noted the importance of determining the scope of Kava, since its usage varies among food, herbal medicine, tobacco and alcohol throughout the PICs. After some discussion, the Committee agreed that the PICs would need to further expand upon the Discussion Paper for the next session of CCNASWP. Tonga offered to lead the electronic Working Group to collect the remaining requested information on Kava.
Nonu (Noni) Standard
On the proposal of Tonga, the Committee agreed to consider a Discussion Paper on the development of a standard for Nonu (also known in some PICs as Noni). The PICs tabled a Conference Room Document (CRD 5) for their Discussion Paper on developing a commodity standard for Nonu. Similar to the Kava Discussion Paper however, the Coordinating Committee noted that there was a need to better clarify the nature, scope, safety, and intended use of Nonu. The Committee also noted that a number of scientific and technical issues needed to be resolved prior to proceeding with the development of a standard for Nonu. After some discussion, the Committee agreed to establish an electronic Working Group, led by Tonga, to revise the Discussion Paper, including the Project Document, for consideration at the next Session of CCNASWP.
During the Session, the WHO Representative informed the Coordinating Committee that the Food Secure Pacific Framework for Action was consistent with the goals of the CCNASWP Strategic Plan. The FAO Representative advised the Committee that the Pacific Food Safety and Quality Legislation Expert (PFSQLE) group was finalizing lists of competent authorities in countries from which food was exported to the Pacific as well as of laboratories in the region that could support countries with food analyses. The FAO representative also indicated a desire to host a NASWP Codex Contact Point meeting in December or January to foster better relations within the region.
The FAO Representative also introduced the outcomes from the FAO/WHO Technical Workshop on "Food Labeling and Date Marking" held on September 27th, as presented in CRD 7. He recalled the objectives of the workshop, which were to familiarize delegates with Codex labeling requirements, to provide an overview of current food labeling and date marking within the region's trading partners, and to facilitate harmonization of labeling requirements across the Pacific.
The Committee identified several priority areas for ongoing and future FAO capacity development activities, including: strengthening countries' analytical capabilities to verify compliance of imported food, training of food inspectors, assisting small businesses in meeting export requirements, and educating consumers.
New Coordinator
The Committee unanimously agreed, at the proposal of the Delegation of Samoa, to recommend Papua New Guinea as the next Coordinator for CCNASWP. Once Papua New Guinea assumes the Coordinator role, they will be tasked with preparing a draft revised Strategic Plan for the CCNASWP 2014-2018, for consideration at the 12th Session of CCNASWP scheduled for 2012.

I have to say it's been a pleasure dealing with you, you've been extremely efficient and the loungers are fabulous, I am about to mix a G+T and go and join them on the deck. I'm a very very happy customer.
Just writing to let you know that your furniture looks fantastic on our new deck and is the talk of Plimmerton
I would like to thank you for the handling/delivery of my order and the product quality. I bought the sun lounges but was unable to take delivery of them at the time, so you held and delivered them as per my request. You executed flawlessly and even called to ensure that we had received them and were happy with them. We are extremely happy with the service and product quality and will be enjoying these sun lounges thoroughly this summer.
"Our fantastic (New Zealand made!) Lujo Sun Lounger is amazing to rock or lounge away the hours in. Its sleek and comfortable design makes it a delight to use"
Lujo is definitely the way to go. So so comfortable in every way. I love the quality and style and can't wait to add more to our outdoor setting. Definitely the comfiest bean bag I've ever sat on. The service was also exceptional. I live in a remote part of Western Australia but it wasn't a problem getting it to me. Well done Lujo and thank you
We purchased two Lujo outdoor bean bags to be used by the pool over summer. They were such a huge hit with everyone that we ordered a further two. The bags are a favourite around the pool, loved by young and old alike. A fantastic product and we've seen no sign of fading, which is more than I can say for all the other outdoor furniture we have tried
My husband just loves his wonderful birthday present. The best hammock stand you ll ever see! It look fabulous on our deck, no one can walk past it without wanting to touch it and know more about it. It's a great piece!
- "We have found the giant cloud cushion very versatile thanks! Good quality fabric & neutral shade has meant it has looked at home both indoors & outdoors. It was originally bought as extra seating for a teenagers retreat but spent many sunny days poolside on the deck. Last night it was drawn up beside a log fire indoors so the whole family could share warmth & chat. This morning one of my daughters has dragged it to a big patch of sunshine in our living room to read"
Lujo, we absolutely love the sunbed and hammock. They are both down at our beach house on the South Coast of NSW Australia and I almost look forward to lying in them as much as I do the beach!
I was lucky enough to receive the dark purple giant cloud cushion as a birthday present from my wonderful husband. It has been in our media room barely a month but has become a firm favourite with the whole family. I have found it just blissful grabbing some magazine time relaxing on the cushion and my young children love lounging on the giant cushion during their TV time.I'll be keeping my finger crossed that another cushion might arrive on Christmas Day!
I purchased my Kwila hammock stand from you four years ago and we are extremely happy with how it has lasted. We have had a couple of other wooden stands in the past and they didn't stand the test of time. Yours still looks great years later, testament to the product
I love the cloud cushion, I actually wish I had bought 3! It bounces back into shape when you get off it and it's so comfy. The only downfall is I go to sleep a little too easily while watching movies! If you ever want to send another my way feel free :)
We absolutely LOVE our Lujo Giant Cushions! You simply can't beat the feeling of sinking into them and relaxing after a hard days work, and love that they can be used both inside or outside.
Our customers have really been enjoying sitting back in the Lujo bean bags over summer with a glass of Sauvignon Blanc & soaking up the sunshine. They love them and find it hard to leave!!
I had thought and thought about justifying the cost of it compared to cheaper products that are out there in the market. I can honestly say that it has been worth every cent. It is so comfortable. I love relaxing and reading in luxurious comfort
We have two bean chairs and a foot rest, and we love them! They are our favorite place to sit for coffee and chat
I purchased a Lujo outdoor bean bag chair and ottoman set for my husband for christmas last year, which is used between the deck and his man cave. So very comfortable and the purchase and delivery was very easy and smooth. Thank you Lujo. We are fans and we look forward to purchasing more for our new bach soon
Our Lujo indoor/outdoor bean bags don't just look great, they are really really comfy too. Always a race in our household to see who can bags the bean bags!! (no one wants so sit on the lounge suite anymore)
We purchased our Lujo bean bags from Toast Martinborough. Excellent delivery process. The bags have lived outside all summer. In constant use by whole family. No regrets about this purchase
I don't think anyone has ever entered my house without commenting on our Lujo loungers they are much loved!
We absolutely love our Lujo outdoor bean bags and so does the cat! They are very stylish in looks and the bonus is they are extremely comfortable to sit in
This is just a quick note to say thank you for our wonderful Lujo bean bags. They arrived within a week of ordering and we were so excited that we purchased beans and filled them that night! They are just as fabulous as they look on your website and we've used them almost every day since they arrived … what a perfect present for our respective birthdays. Thanks again!
I am the proud owner of four Lujo outdoor beanbags and a matching ottoman. I live in northern NSW, where we have an enormous amount of rain and intense sunshine. My Lujo beanbags have been subjected to the elements for the past 12 months and still look as good as new!
We absolutely love the fact we can kick back at the end of the day in our comfy Lujo bean bags! We live at the beach and they sit on our deck, enduring the weather remarkably well. We love them, far exceeded everything we read about them!
After purchasing not one, but four other outdoor Bean Bags for my roof deck, only to watch them split or tear, I scoured the Internet for an answer. I found Lujo! My Lujo loungers have been a smash hit with guests, a stylish addition to our favourite outdoor area. So comfortable, versatile, and most importantly, durable! Warm days with a book or cool days with a blanket, they get plenty of use. Worth every cent and more
I love the way my Lujo talks 'please come and join me by the pool with a G and T!
I bought my 2 Lujo outdoor bean bags 3 years ago now. They sit beside my pool year round in Canterbury. I have never taken them inside or had to clean them. It is hard to believe but they look exactly the same as when I bought them. They are a very stylish and comfortable addition to our pool and we all love relaxing in them. So proud that it is kiwi made and worth every cent. Well done Lujo!! wonderful. We travel all over the USA and get wonderful compliments where ever we go….Love them!
My Lujo beanbag chair is great! Thanks so much very comfortable!
Our Lujo beanbags are stylish, comfortable, require minimum maintenance and shout 'fun' every time we see them…by the pool they adapt easily, both to the landscape and the users – Lujos are ludicrously good!
When I first came across your Lujo Loungers I thought they were expensive. However I went ahead and ordered two… which we all love! They are light to move around, easy to keep clean and the fabrics are great. Well worth the cost
We received our Lujo Loungers yesterday and they have been hot property with the kids since! Many thanks, wonderful products that I can see will get much use
We just LOVE our Lujo Hammock!! Best outdoor furniture we have ever owned!
Our hammock looks stunning in the pool enclosure and never fails to get noticed. It catches the early morning sun, but by mid afternoon gets the shade of the surrounding gum trees and is a great place to spend a lazy Sunday afternoon
I must say that I received exceptional service from the moment I placed my order to the day that I received the Lujo Hammock, which is now a firm favourite with all our friends and family
I had been looking for a hammock for a few months but couldn't find anything suitable. I saw the website, ordered online and it was on my doorstep before I could blink! The customer service was brilliant…it's unbelievably comfortable, beautiful we would not be without it
We are thoroughly impressed with the construction and build of the Lujo Hammock. On the deck, or out on the lawn, it looks great and adds to the ambience of any setting
My Lujo Hammock is fabulous. A sensuous work of art in appearance and unbelievably comfortable. Stretched out under the tree canopies, birds singing, sun shining through the leaves, it's pure bliss!
Just a note to let you know that we have been out on the hammock under the stars! Just lovely thanks
Exceptional service matched by exceptional outdoor beanbags! We love them so much we even use them indoors to maximise their use to the full.
We discovered your Lujo Bean Bag at a friend's bach and fell in love straight away. Promptly we went onto website & ordered 2…one for our beach house and one for the apartment. The transaction was simple; the service was efficient with a speedy delivery. Highly recommend; the family love them too.
Our Lujo bean bag chairs are the most used pieces of furniture in the lounge and the first used by our friends and family. We are so impressed at the quality and the fantastic service the Lujo team gives. Thank you for making a top quality product.
The hammock is entirely brilliant; well-made and blissfully comfortable. Sole drawback: we don't get nearly enough time to enjoy it! Thanks again.

Finding that the development of a residential school at the site of the former Delaware Valley School could create significant environmental impacts, the Upper Delaware Council (UDC) on November 7 approved a letter to Fremont Supervisor George Conklin, seeking to assist in the planning.
Noting that Fremont zoning has been in substantial conformance with the River Management Plan since 1990, the letter points out issues could arise from tentative plans for a dormitory to house some 200 full-time residential students. "We are interested in helping to mitigate to avoid any conflicts with existing zoning laws or the principles of the Land and Water Use Guidelines (L&WUG)."
The letter goes on to state, "The UDC believes the project is a worthwhile endeavor and would like to see a symbiotic relationship formed between the new owners, the town board, planning board and the UDC," to the benefit of both the school and the river valley.
National Park Service (NPS) Superintendent Sean McGuinness brought the issue to the UDC project review committee earlier this month, which in turn approved the drafting of a letter.
McGuinness reported that NPS has since drafted a letter regarding the issue. That prompted a rebuff from Cochecton's Larry Richardson, who said NPS should instead be working with UDC, since Fremont is in substantial compliance.
McGuinness, who had listed L&WUG concerns including runoff, lighting and noise, said that with a dormitory for "400 residential students to be built…we can't turn a blind eye…There's going to be a building, new traffic and employees. There are going to be impacts."
Fremont delegate and former supervisor Jim Greier said the land is "big enough," as the new owner bought an additional 65 acres to accommodate their plans. "Fremont has its own zoning. We don't want to lose the project."
"It's in the corridor," McGuinness replied.
Discussion of the draft led to the removal of wording for a "respectful request to be a consulting party… along with our partners at the National Park Service," in the concluding paragraph. It was replaced with a line stating UDC's availability "to provide technical assistance during the site plan and project development…. "
In January, the Sullivan West Board of Education approved the $1.16 million sale of the school campus to Emily Wu, who had operated the Windsor School in Queens, NY.
The letter was approved with Greier and Hancock's Fred Peckham abstaining.
McGuinness said that inconsistencies and ambiguities in the language of the river plan and its L&WUG exist. After two decades, the likelihood of decisions based on varying interpretations of the guidelines and the unfamiliarity of other agencies with the plan in making bad or uninformed decisions is more likely. "It's time to revise the River Management Plan," he said following the meeting.
In other business, the council heard a presentation on river flows and New York City reservoir management from Garth Pettinger, representing a group of upstream environmental and river-related groups that are petitioning the Delaware River Basin Commission to consider a new, lower daily "safe yield" for NYC use of Delaware River water. Seeking UDC support of their petition, Pettinger said that the current 800 million gallon-per- day (MGD) figure was based on a 1930s drought of record, which was surpassed in duration in the 1960s. He said the figure should be 480 MGD. He further charged that to justify its increased drawdown of Delaware River water, the city has been dumping water from its Catskill and Croton systems.
Additionally, UDC Executive Director Laurie Ramie reported that with the end of the government shutdown, Congress approved an 8% cut in UDC funding, allowing $80,900 to carry the council through January 15, when another continuing resolution would be scheduled to take effect.

Reflection on GettysburgJuly 10,2013
Reflection on Gettysburg
The first three days of July marked the 150th anniversary of the Battle of Gettysburg, a pivotal battle of the American Civil War. There has been much written and talked and pondered of this anniversary rightly so.
Gettysburg was but the one verse of a long poem, an epic poem that portrays the struggle to truly achieve liberty and justice for all in the United States. This unfinished poem has many verses. I speak of it in the present; we are still writing it. The verses include the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution and Bill of Rights, and Lincolns Emancipation Proclamation of January 1863.
Gettysburg marked the beginning of the end for the Confederacy. It was fought and won at a terrible cost 7,000 killed and approximately 50,000 killed, wounded and missing on both sides in that pivotal three-day battle alone. Gettysburg delivered the national down payment on the emancipation, the ensuing reconstruction and the birth of modern civil liberties in the United States.
Vermonters fought and died at Gettysburg and in scores of other battles and actions of that war. How many Vermonters know that there were more killed on both sides of the American Civil War alone than we can count in our entire state population of today?
A writer in the July 7 edition of The Times Argus reflected on Gettysburg. He lamented how long the struggle to attain civil liberties for all has taken to be realized. I look at it from a different perspective, one of gratitude. I think about how many brave women and men have continued the fight for liberty and justice for all to this day. I salute each of them for their courage and determination.
In November our nation will mark another 150th anniversary Lincolns Gettysburg Address. I urge each of us to revisit Lincolns words, another verse of that epic poem. Ponder Lincolns challenge: It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced.
Vermonters have a history of leadership, of coming together and finishing our work. Are we ready to lead and finish the unfinished work of Lincolns eloquence? If not us, then whom?

I feel like I really need some advice or something before I give up on breastfeeding (which is something I really don't want to do).
With my first child she was a NICU baby and I pumped for 5 weeks until I dried up and I remember my breasts would get rock hard and I would have a few ounces after each pump even within the first 2 weeks. Well now I have a new baby and she is almost 2 weeks. I have been breast feeding since we were in the hospital but I have to supplement at times with formula. When we were in the hospital she wouldn't latch on so they gave me a nipple shield to use and that seemed to work somewhat (she still wont latch on when I try without the shield). I am really nervous about my milk drying up and maybe cause it is so different then the last time. My breast were rock hard maybe the first 2 days and now they just feel normal. I nurse the baby ever 2 to 3 hours and it seems like within 5 minutes she falls asleep and i have to wake her up but she won't stay awake. Then after 20 minutes of nursing when she let's go and I burp her then set her down she starts rooting around still hungry so I have to pump (with my manual pump) and give that to her and I even bought the bottles that are just like the breast (I cant recall the name of them though). Sometimes I don't have enough milk and she has to get formula and I hate giving her formula. Also today I pumped and got 3 oz total and then later when I pumped I got maybe a half oz total. I really need some advice to make me feel better about breastfeed and to know that it will get easier or something.
Thank you for reading.

July 24, 2013 —
The Upper Delaware Council should be supporting its friends, Tusten's representative told the UDC last Thursday.
Recalling that a spokesman for New York City's water supply in June told them that the city is not taking responsibility for the health of the Upper Delaware, Susan Sullivan said the Upper Delaware Council (UDC) should support renewed federal funding of the Delaware River Basin Commission (DRBC).
Sullivan said the DRBC is "the only group… doing critical stuff to maintain the health of the river… It seems very important that they continue their work."
Without the DRBC, "What are we going to do if there is another severe drought," Sullivan asked. "Sue each other?"
Sullivan referred to legislation newly approved by the U.S. Senate that would restore the 20% share of the DRBC budget that the federal government agreed to supply in 1988. The House of Representatives would have to confirm the Senate action before funding is released.
Despite that 1988 agreement, the federal government stopped funding the DRBC for a decade, 1998-2008, renewed it in 2009 and withdrew it again from 2011 to 2013. According to the DRBC, the cumulative federal shortfall since 1996 is nearly $11 million, or almost double the size of the current DRBC expense budget.
The UDC agreed on July 11 to direct its Water Use Resource Management Committee to draft a letter for council approval.
The UDC action comes as the DRBC is under fire from Pennsylvania officials for its delay in voting on regulations dealing with natural gas exploration and fracking in the watershed.
The basin commission admitted as much in a statement on its website (stateimpact.npr.org/pennsylvania/2013/07/12/drbc-responds-to-pro-drilling-critics/). "The Delaware River Basin Commission isn't getting much love these days."
The statement noted recent criticism from Senator Pat Toomey, Governor Tom Corbett, the Wayne County Commissioners, and a threatened lawsuit by the Northern Wayne Property Owners Alliance.
Corbett opened his June 28 letter to DRBC Executive Director Carol Collier, saying, "I am writing to convey a profound sense of frustration and disappointment on behalf of my constituents due to the inaction of the Delaware River Basin Commission (DRBC) in finalizing standards with respect to the safe and responsible development of natural gas."
DRBC instituted a drilling moratorium and then cancelled a November 2011 meeting to vote on regulations, and has not rescheduled another vote.
Corbett argued that Pennsylvania has already adopted "first-class standards that have served as a model to other shale-gas producing states across the nation." The state has "enhanced environmental protection standards through passage of Act 13 in February 2012," he said.
Critics say Act 13, which stripped local governments of all oversight of oil and gas production related projects, provided carte blanche for the energy industry.
Corbett wrote that the continuing moratorium has injured the region economically and that "citizens of Pennsylvania residing within the basin have been denied the enjoyment of their property rights due to the inaction of the DRBC."
A spokesman for the Delaware River Basin Commission wrote that, although the letter-writing campaign was aimed at the executive director, the commissioners, who are appointed by the governors of the basin states and the federal government, made the decision to hold off on any permitted gas drilling activity until new regulations are adopted. That's why they chose to cancel the scheduled vote.

Dodgers sale is bad news for fans
- published_in
Darren Rovell, host of SportsBiz on CNBC, tweeted that he had spoken to two bankers familiar with the Dodgers situation, and that they pegged their asset value "closer to $680M," which makes sense considering that the recent sale of the Chicago Cubs, Wrigley Field, 20% ownership of Comcast SportsNet and land surrounding Wrigley Field was recently sold to Tom Ricketts for $900 million (of which, Forbes pegged the value of the Chicago Cubs around $642 million).
What does the Dodgers' extremely high valuation mean to fans? Well, assuming some of the new owners actually want to make money off of their investment, this should mean that parking, concessions and tickets will all go way up.
So why was the winning bid for the Dodgers so high in comparison to the franchise's actual value? One of the driving reasons may be the chance for the Dodgers to start their own specialized sports network, similarly to how the Yankees created the YES Network. The reason why that may not be completely viable? The Dodgers haven't won a World Series since 1988. Since McCourt took ownership in 2004, the team's winning percentage has dipped from 53.7% to 51.8%, and the team has been in only 23 playoff games over that period. Compared to the Bronx Bombers, who have had 53 playoff appearances over that same period and won four World Series titles since 1988, those numbers seem paltry.
According to a Harris Poll released in July of 2011, the Dodgers are tied for fifth-most popular MLB team with New York's other MLB team, the Mets. The Yankees, Red Sox, Braves and Cubs come in at first through fourth, respectively.
So, to reiterate facts, the Dodgers are neither an extremely popular franchise, nor have they put a quality product on the field in recent years. McCourt, through sheer incompetence and arrogance somehow just became the most successful owner in MLB history, earning a 26% annualized return on his $371 million initial investment, which was almost entirely leveraged.
By using the franchise as his family's own personal piggy bank, getting into an unbelievably messy divorce, and taking on more debt than some countries, he forced his franchise into a bankruptcy auction, where he was allowed to set the terms for the sales, solicit bidders, and drive the price up astronomically.
Fans of the Dodgers should be happy to have McCourt gone, he did them no favors and gradually drove the franchise into the irrelevancy, but Magic & Co. have to prove they can put a winning product on the field, or this inflated purchase price will means fans will be hemorrhaging major cash for a mediocre product.
Hey, at least it won't be the first time someone's overpaid for something in L.A.

One another doesn't just mean the people in your church or your family; it means everyone. "Love your enemies," Jesus instructs his disciples in the gospel of Luke chapter 6,"do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you. If someone strikes you on one cheek, turn to him the other also. If someone takes your cloak, do not stop him from taking your tunic. Give to everyone who asks you, and if anyone takes what belongs to you, do not demand it back. Do to others as you would have them do to you. If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? Even "sinners" love those who love them. And If you do good to those who are good to you, what credit is that to you? Even 'sinners' do that. And if you lend to those from whom you expect repayment, what credit is that to you? Even 'sinners' lend to 'sinners,' expecting to be repaid in full. But love your enemies, do good to them, and lend to them without expecting to get anything back. Then your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High, because he is kind to the ungrateful and wicked. Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful."
This "new commandment" to love one another is certainly a challenge as when we are wronged, we want to take revenge, but as Christians we no longer cling to our mortal bodies but instead cultivate our spiritual bodies. We are known not for vengeful acts, but by our all-embracing attitude of love.
O God, form the minds of your faithful people into a single will. Make us love what you command and desire what you promise, that, amid all the changes of this world, our hearts may be fixed where true joy is found; through your Son, Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen.
Worship services at St. Paul Lutheran Church in Runge begin at 8:30 a.m. Sunday mornings with Bible Study and Sunday School following worship. The door is open to all. Call 830-239-4311 for a free Bible.

My 8 month old does not want to nurse during the day but wakes up every two hours at night and wants the boob for comfort mostly. Today, I tried to give him some formula but he doesn't like it. I've tried pumping after each feeding to empty my breasts but never get more than 2 ounces. I really hate pumping. I wouldn't comfort him so much at night if he'd nurse properly in the day.
His decrease in nursing has been a gradual thing since 6 months. I can't make him nurse. The only time he is interested is before naps or bedtime but only nurses for a minute or two then. I will be going back to work in two months and wonder if I should start weaning him now since he seems to be self-weaning and I won't have privacy at work to pump. I don't want to wean him while he is stressed being in a new environment. I want to quit nursing at one year anyway. When I go back to work I have no problem continuing nursing him before work, after work and at night as long as I'm able. However, I don't want him up all night like he is now. He has never been a good sleeper. He used to nurse almost continuosly. He gets up to 2 oz of juice a day but he doesn't get any other liquids. He loves to use a sippy cup but looks disgusted when I put formula in it because he is expecting juice. One day I mixed formula in his cereal and he refused to eat the cereal for a week. I usually just mix it with water.
I know his diet should consist mostly of breast milk or formula but it isn't. I'm concerned he isn't getting enough liquids. His weight is good. Has anyone else experienced this? Any advice will be appreciated.

And want to avoid a painful mistake. Any recommendations for a pump that is good to use with larger then average nipples?
And want to avoid a painful mistake. Any recommendations for a pump that is good to use with larger then average nipples?
As usual, Medela Pump In Style models are probably the best in the market. Medela also has different flang sizes that would fit different nipple sizes. Good luck
Ameda's Purely Yours has been a great pump for me so far (3x/day M-F 6 weeks). The set up I got came with the pump and parts, a cooler, 6 bottles, and an inconspicuous bag that holds everything. If standard flanges aren't comfortable, Ameda makes large or extra large flanges. The pump has a great design that keeps moisture from getting into the tubing and the price was right! Thanks to the mommies in the old work and breastfeeding forumn who introduced me to it!
I also use Medela Pump In Style and have been pumping for 8 months. Initially I used it 4x a day 5 days a week for 5 months. But I got tired of bringing it back and forth to work so I rented a hospital grade for the office. I thought I would see a difference in the performance but I was surprised that I didn't. I use it every morning before work and on the weekends if the kids are with the grandparents.
I had to buy the XL flanges and have no pain or discomfort.
I also got the battery pack for the PIS and I haven't used it much but it has been a life saver. Power is out, on the road, no outlets etc...
This link might help you decide what type is best for you.[URL="http://www.breastfeeding.com/workingmom/suggestions.html"]
Hi! I have large nipples, I'm suprised my kids were able to latch on so well...
The Medela PIS worked very, very well for me. I didn't have any problems with it.
Well, I did have one problem.....
I was sanitizing the tubes and placed them in the microwave (in the sterilization bags) and I accidentally left them in too long and melted them!! Medela overnighted new tubes to me, and were very pleasant about the whole thing.
They get 5 thumbs up from me!!
I use the Ameda Purely Yours pump. I am pleased with it. It costed me $50.00 less than the Medela. I like the cooler case...which is great for storing my milk at work all day. I can leave it in my office and don't need to use the office refrigerator. And the one I bought comes with a car adaptor, AC adaptor, or can be run on batteries. So you can use it about anywhere! it also comes with a nice carry bag which can be carried or used as a backpack. Mine also came with a manual pump (in case you need a backup). And as Hip Mama said, they do make different flange sizes.

By Joe Lee, Special to THELAW.TV
Perhaps you've heard about the University of Pittsburgh study that found winning the lottery makes it more likely you'll go broke, or you've read the theories about why professional athletes go bankrupt a few years after retirement. Managing large sums of money sounds like a wonderful problem to have, but people who receive big money often lose it if they lack discipline. Seven- and eight-digit numbers can blind a person to the cold fact that even big paychecks vanish if not properly managed. If you've received a personal injury settlement, it's crucial you maximize its potential and manage it well, especially when it needs to last a long time.
Depending on the nature of the suit and the settlement, you may have to pay Uncle Sam a larger percentage of the money than you would prefer. In general, a lump sum hits harder than steady payments. A settlement for $1 million, for instance, can be taxed at up to 35 percent, meaning that you leave a full third of your money behind. Receiving the money owed to you in monthly payments under an annuity settlement drops the tax rate significantly, since the taxation rate rises at each income bracket. Structured payments, furthermore, encourage fiscal discipline, since they determine how much money you can spend, invest or save, whereas a lump sum removes all such boundaries.
Get professional help
Whenever you have enough money on hand to provide for several years' worth of work, you would be wise to invest some of it in accountants and financial planners. Build a financial "dream team" that will look out for your financial health based on an individual's expertise and background and remember that some professions, like stockbrokers, need only a minimum of both to give advice. Unless they have very specific experience working in investing, money management or legal fields, relying on family members for financial advice rarely works out.
If possible, keep working
The nature of a personal injury settlement usually prevents people from returning to their day job. Whether you have lost an arm or just needed a doctor's attention, however, a regular paycheck goes a long way toward financial security. A person who earns $50,000 dollars per year will need at least one million dollars in investments to make up for a job they left behind. What's more, anyone who stops working will lose the contribution for Social Security benefits, which may be crucial if investments go south.
Know when to spend
If you have a solid financial base, there is no reason you can't spend a small bit of your settlement on personal or luxury desires. Determine a small percentage of your settlement (no more than 5 percent is recommended) that can be spent on anything from a vacation to a new car, and you will be less likely to be tempted by a larger purchase. This helps you feel both in command of your finances and able to spend money on the better things in life.
