Rated 5 out of 5 by Msquality Lovely feel great Very big sheets. Lots of drop room. May 18, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5 by Carrol luxurious Purchased the duvet cover, shams and sheeting all to match. Beautiful. Material is very soft, but holds up nicely without wrinkling. The comforter to fill the duvet is a nice weight, however it did not have any ties to tie to the duvet cover. I did safety pin the comforter to the duvet seams and that worked great. May 4, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5 by sue7364 FABULOUS!! I love the quality of these sheets! They are so soft and are wonderful to sleep on! Pricy but worth every penny! I have purchased other sheets elsewhere that were of a similar price and didn't like them nearly as much. I would be these again! April 29, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5 by STW1949 Resort Sheets Love,Love these sheets . I have bought other King Size sheets in other brands but they did not fit my mattress as well as the resort sheets , I was a little reluctant to pay the price for these sheets but as the saying goes , " you get what you pay for " I liked them so much I bought a second set for my bed and will be donating the other brands . Also love the feel of 600 thread count . March 1, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5 by Brenda837 Beautiful, silky soft sheets This is the second set of Resort Sheets I have purchased from Front Gate. They are a great buy for the money. They wash well and don't shrink up. I love getting into my bed when the resort sheets are on. They are soft and silky. February 25, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5 by Thehappylady Love these sheets I love these sheets. I am on my second pair and can't wait to crawl into them at night. I am in the process of ordering a set for my daughter because I like them so much. I would recommend them to anyone! January 18, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5 by JMSC Beautiful Sheets I had purchased this set of sheets before and enjoyed the quality so much, I ordered more! November 20, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by bmwbev Resort Sheet Set I am VERY happy with this sheet set. The are super smooth and silky feeling. I have difficulty turning in bed and these sheet do make it easier. I am impressed with how they launder....not much ironing is needed. I do touch up the pillow cases and the top embroidered edge of flat sheet just because it looks impressive when the bed is made up! October 30, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by SweetLady Quality/Design It is always a wonderful experience shopping at Frontage knowing you are getting beautiful and quality merchandise. October 2, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by Qwerty555 Lucky guests These are just the best. I bought a set for myself a few years ago because my new mattress was deeper and needed a longer flat sheet. Most sheet sets now have extra depth on the fitted sheet, but in my experience the flat sheet is the same, which is short. Not these sheets. They are large enough to accommodate the newer dimension mattresses. I have had my set for three years and I still love them. They are perfect! This most recent purchase was for the guest room. Lucky guests! September 3, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by pinkiesup Exquisite Sheets! I was so impressed when I received these absolutely gorgeous sheets. The color (Linen) is so rich and the feel is simply luxurious. I did iron after I washed, though it is not really necessary, but it did add extra sheen and made them even softer. The sale price afforded me the opportunity to buy another set (Ivory), which is just as exquisite as the linen. April 1, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by Carxmom Exactly what I expected Celebrating our 25th Anniversary, I sometimes wished I could another bridal shower to freshen up household items...just kidding. Instead I decided to treat myself and my husband to a really nice sheet set. This set is a little bit more money that I usually spend on sheets but I always believed in buying the best you can afford. These sheets are crisp and very smooth and soft. I washed them before using them and they washed beautifully. I felt I had to iron the pillowcases and the edges of the top sheet but that's as far as I go because I never iron sheets. Absolutely love the monogram. These sheets feel very decadent. Hubby loves them as well. March 31, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by Billy1 Sheets are super The sheets are excellent. We liked so much we bought more. We will continue to be regulars with Frontgate...great quality and products! March 18, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by me4802 Generous Love the feel and weight of this King size set, especially the larger size pillow cases. My first identical set a few years ago had much smaller cases. March 12, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by Chipmunk They actually fit I purchased the complete sheet set because I got tired of trying to make sheets fit the bed. I thought Frontgate wouldn't sell anything that wasn't just right, and I was willing to pay the price. For sure, I now have sheets and pillow cases that actually fit. What a pleasure. I told a friend that I has just spent a considerable amount of money for a set of sheets. She said that I will probably be most pleasantly surprised at how luxurious they will feel. She could not have been more correct. After their first washing, nothing has changed. They are still just as nice. Thanks Frontgate. January 27, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by BLHS Perfect in every way Add me to the list of people who love these sheets. I bought the first set on sale to test them out and could hardly wait for another sale to get the second set. We had 400 TC before but these are as soft as a baby's behind! December 11, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by BetterThanAruba Worth every $$$$ I have yet to purchase anything from Frontgate that I have been unhappy with, this sheet set is no exception. Our hotel in Aruba had the most beautiful pillows and sheets and I was trying to replicate the comfort of that bed. Done. I will be a customer for life. Thank you! December 2, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Mumps These sheets are perfect! After buying these sheets a few years ago, I will never purchase any other kind linens than these. They are my "go to" sheets. They are incredibly soft, launder well, and after 3 years, they are as nice as the day I bought them. I have also given these luxurious sheets as gifts. People's comments usually begin with the word, "Wow", followed up by "Where did you purchase these?" My answer-Frontgate! November 19, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by ballet Perfect in so many ways The resort sheet set is quality, beautiful, silky and refined. I have purchased several sets and will do so again. A suggestion that may be helpful: Purchase everything you need in the same order. I purchased extra pillow cases after I bought the sets. The dye lot differed.The color is slightly off. Too, white is off-white not pure white. October 29, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by MrsMacfan Wonderful Sheets These sheets are lovely will probably buy another pair. October 15, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by PattyV Love the comfort These sheets feel so crisp, yet cozy - better than those at a 5-star hotel. I splurged and bought my first set several years ago. Needing a second pair of sheets, I knew I wouldn't regret buying another set of these, and indeed did! September 18, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Designlady2 Beautiful Sheets These are the best sheets ...beautiful fit for premium deep mattresses, never wrinkle and feel like silk. The colors are lovely. June 22, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Gussmaker Love these sheets! I purchase all of my bed lines and towels from Frontgate. Love the quality and softness! June 10, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Meggo Lovely Sheets But No Stripes Love these amazingly luxurious sheets with my initial embroidered. Though I ordered the seafoam stripe sheets and received plain white with emboirdered seafoam initials, they were so lovely I kept them anyway! May 2, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Roxbdiving Love, Love, Love these sheets If you love light, easy-to-care-for sheets, you need to purchase these. I did not find them too wrinkly as some posted as they easily flatten out after laundering. They have deep pockets for oversized mattresses and are very light and airy. Plan to buy many more for all guest rooms!! May 1, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by MariaPe Best Sheets Ever! Love the feel and comfort of the sheets. The value is also excellent as they wear very well. March 24, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Janie6 Utmost Quality The set has a generous fit. The durable fabric has a silky feel. Love it! March 17, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by KAZE Great Sheets These are the best sheets - wonderful look and feel. I now own 2 sets. Note that the sheet set comes with pillow cases. March 9, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by NewBathOwner LOVE these sheets! They are soft, sturdy, a beautiful color and match the decor of our bedroom...just what I had hoped. March 7, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by WayneW Resort Sheets are great We recently ordered another set of resort sheets. They are luxurious and make it a pleasure to go to bed. Highly recommend these sheets. February 26, 2014

SunRail, Central Florida's first passenger rail system, is a 61.5 mile commuter rail line connecting four counties and the City of Orlando. It is considered the first piece of a larger passenger rail network planned for the region.
The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) will manage the project during planning, design, construction and the initial seven years of operation, with the benefit of local input. The Central Florida Commuter Rail Commission governing board, comprised of local elected officials, was established in 2007 to assist FDOT with policy direction.
Commuter rail transit uses steel-wheeled technology similar to a traditional train and is generally powered by a diesel locomotive. SunRail will run on existing freight railroad tracks running parallel to Interstate 4. Trains will consist of one to three cars, along with a locomotive, with the capacity to carry more than 150 passengers in each car. Amenities include: rest room facilities on all trains, power outlets at all seats, luggage and bicycle racks, and wireless Internet connectivity.
The system includes 17 stations.
Construction will be completed in two phases:
Phase One
- DeBary/Fort Florida Road in Volusia County to Sand Lake Road in Orange County
- 31 miles; 12 stations
- Anticipated opening: late 2013
Phase Two
- Extends the system south from Sand Lake Road in Orange County to Poinciana in Osceola County and north to DeLand Amtrak station in Volusia County
- 30 miles; 5 stations
- Anticipated opening: 2015
System Operations
- Scheduled service every 30 minutes during peak commute times, including 5:30 a.m. to 8:30 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m.; off-peak service every two hours
- As passenger demand grows, system designed to increase service levels to every 15 minutes during peak periods and every hour during off-peak periods
- Freight traffic on the commuter rail line will be restricted during peak travel times, allowing passenger rail trains to run uninterrupted
SunRail Funding
SunRail funding is divided into two categories: capital and operations/maintenance.
Capital Costs
- Anticipated capital costs approximately $615 million (Approximately $10 million per mile, making SunRail one of least expensive new starts projects in the country on a per mile basis.)
- Breakdown of capital costs:
- Split 50% federal; 25% state; 25% local
- State money is in place for the project
- Five local funding partners (Volusia, Seminole, Orange and Osceola counties, and city of Orlando) unanimously approved funding commitments in Summer of 2007
- The Full Funding Grant Agreement guaranteeing federal funding from the Federal Transit Administration for phase one of SunRail was signed in July 2011. FDOT is currently taking SunRail phase two through all the studies and steps necessary to secure a Full Funding Grant Agreement in the near future.
Operations and Maintenance
- FDOT will cover the operations and maintenance deficit for first seven years of operation
- Local funding partners will assume the this cost beginning year eight (and beyond)
Project Benefits
- An independent financial impact study found SunRail has the potential to create nearly 260,000 jobs, with an estimated $8.8 billion in economic impact
- SunRail can carry as many passengers as one-lane of I-4 during peak travel times
- Significant travel time savings are expected during peak periods, including a travel time from Lake Mary to downtown Orlando is less than 30 minutes
- The system uses existing infrastructure and requires limited right-of-way acquisition
- Passenger rail encourages transit-oriented development, reducing urban sprawl and protecting environment, elements that are an integral part of the MetroPlan Orlando 2030 Long Range Transportation Plan
- SunRail establishes spine of a regional rail network that can be expanded statewide
- Development of the system returns 20 cents of every dollar motorists now pay in federal gas taxes for transit projects to Florida
- SunRail allows businesses, research and education centers to tap into geographically broader talent pool
SunRail Contact
For more information about SunRail, please visit the official project website or contact Marianne Gurnee, public liaison, at (407) 492-0836 or email@example.com.

Area seniors finalists in volunteer contest
MARTINSBURG – In an effort to recognize those who dedicate their time to serving others, West Virginia residents can choose the state's top volunteering senior citizen.
The second annual Salute to Senior Services, sponsored by Home Instead Senior Care, recognizes seniors 65 years or older who dedicate at least 15 hours of service a month to helping others.
"I think (Salute to Senior Services) just raises awareness of those who give their time and do not ask for anything in return. These people are supposed to be enjoying their retirement and free time and they continue to give to others without any kind of expectation in return," said Angel Wells, community service representative for Home Instead Senior Care in Martinsburg.
Of the 13 West Virginia entries, seven contestants reside in the Eastern Panhandle: Meta Foster of Martinsburg, Betty Kidwiler of Shenandoah Junction, William "Bill" S. of Shepherdstown, Richard Seely of Martinsburg, Vicki Propps of Charles Town, Helen Cantley of Harpers Ferry and Dave Spunich of Charles Town.
Foster is a volunteer at the Hospice of the Panhandle, helping with fundraisers, working in the office, delivering medicines and balloons, and befriending patients. She began serving with the organization more than 26 years ago.
Upon retiring from teaching in Jefferson County after 40 years, Kidwiler continues to dedicate her time and services to students at C.W. Shipley Elementary. She volunteers by sorting mail, counting out papers for homeroom teachers and bringing treats for students.
An Army veteran, William (whose last name was not made available) volunteers on the Board of Directors for the Shenandoah Medical Center, St. Agnes Catholic Church and the Martinsburg VA Medical Center. At the VAMC, he volunteers on the Acute Medical/Surgical Unit as a transport for veterans and has volunteered in the nursing home section.
A combat wounded Korean War Marine veteran, Seely volunteers with the Martinsburg VA Medical Center by visiting with patients and performing errands for them. He is also a member of the local VA's executive committee and helps plan recreational and social activities for hospitalized patients and permanent residents.
Propps volunteers with the Charles Town Lions Club to provide glasses to children who cannot afford them. She also volunteers with Asbury United Methodist Church to serve the homeless.
For more than two years, Cantley has dedicated her time to helping Jefferson County residents who are in need of food, clothing and gas. Through volunteering with the Jefferson County Community Ministries, she ensures that the residents of the county search for employment, find temporary housing and have the basic necessities.
Since 2000, Spunich has volunteered with Good Shepherd Caregivers, helping seniors receive home assistance, transportation and home repairs. During his time with the nonprofit, Spunich has raised more than $500,000 for the organization.
"These individuals give selflessly of themselves. (Having seven finalists) indicates that the community is a very involved," Wells said.
Voting ends April 30, and the state winner will be chosen on June 1. Each state winner will receive $500 to benefit the nonprofit organization of the winner's choice. Each state winner will be eligible to win the national Salute to Senior Service honor and $5,000.
Gary Tucker, 67, of Shepherdstown was the 2012 West Virginia winner. Tucker was recognized for more than a decade of service and volunteering more than 40 hours a week with the Good Shepherd Caregivers.
In addition to voting, friends and community members can write encouraging notes and stories on a nominee's online profile, which can have a positive impact on receiving votes and the judging.

This is who is a transgendered woman and she is so perfect
To make it clear Laverne Cox and Carmen Carrera are by far my two favorite transgendered woman. I love those two woman!
Not that eats carbs, but I bet she'd slay a Hardee's commercial!
Still puzzled as to why Laverne Cox, Isis King, Carmen Carrera, or Chaz Bono wasn't interviewed.
Any advice for Bruce Jenner? I know you kept an amazing attitude in the face of adversity.
Nope. :/ Carmen Carrera was shown several times, tho!
Disgustingly sad when a leading woman in the transgender community is being shady towards another ð·
just saw your pretty face on the Bruce Jenner interview. Cover Girl!
I SAW YOU ON You are a transgender icon!
YAS at ur picture being in the bruce jenner interview
Omg you were on the bruce Jenner interview !
This is an important time to remember the Carmen Carrera and Laverne Cox interview with Katie Couric.
Carmen Carrera (she/her) Transgender Model that was deemed unequal to other cis models... But she is. ð
If everyone just answered simple questions like Bruce people could actually learn and understand. *cough* Janet Mock *cough* Carmen Carrera
That is so gross! And dammit, I LOVE Carmen Carrera! (I don't really know her, of course, so I could be wrong.)
I would hope so, but the Katie Couric interview with Carmen Carrera and Laverne Cox left a bad taste in my mouth (1/2)
Wendy Williams is getting herself on Carmen Carrera level of annoying.
You're both making me VERY suspicious... I hope I'm not going to be disappointed. I wanna see my Heathers ð

Y'all can say what you want, but is beyond perfect. She is someone everyone should look up to.

I would like to follow me. I would love
She does not speak for me! I speak for myself and my own beliefs
Hope all of u who support Carmen carrera doesn't support all trans people and has used the n word numerous times
Ur opinion, if anyone agrees with you or not, is still valid. Only U can change it if needs to be. Doesn't
well it's not like I meant like a dog ð¶ I live this experience. I've met the entire spectrum. I think I know.
because it's not important. Some people want to sit around and look to point fingers but what is the point? Intentions?
"put down" is very different than "brought down a few not notches." A lot of straight people said the first about you.
A stunningly callous dismissal. And missing the bigger picture, ironically. But you know. You do you.
it's how I feel. Some girls need to be brought down a few notches. Some influenced the ignorance to begin with.
It's not saving lives. It's not changing the world. I have my views and my focus is on the bigger picture.
You claimed you wanted to be 1. Not liking someone is one thing. You said some pretty awful things, tantamount to execution.
I'm a model, striptease performer, and reality tv star with opinions. My full time job is not "activist". Get over it âï¸ð
how have I ended up on Carmen Carrera's Instagram instead of doing this essay oops
i saw a post re: carmen carrera's comments about TS Madison saying that cis people shouldn't talk abt respectability politics for trans +
Erika Ervin, Andreja Pejic, Isis King, Amiyah Scott, Lea T - trans models that deserve support more than Carmen Carrera
Such a great time with such great people.
Meeting this morning was probably the coolest thing. She's doing great work and is just so nice!
Sorry for fangirling so epically. You're just so wonderfully flawless I couldnt contain myself.
One day carmen_carrera will marry me, Until then I'll just dream of her every night,

PLEASE NOTE: Readers wishing to reproduce and

Attendance at Johannesburgs Sacred Heart Colleges school for immigrants has dropped by almost 40 percent since the xenophobic violence started four weeks ago. Having recognised the need for a school for foreign children in the country, SHC started the school in March. The school has 108 registered children and six teachers who come from 11 African countries, including Zimbabwe, Somalia, the Democratic Republic of Congo and Nigeria. The challenge we are facing now is transport and safety. Parents dont feel safe walking their children to school, said headmaster Colin Northmore. A grade R teacher, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said her class has 25 children, but now only 12 attend classes. Some people are scared to even leave their homes, the teacher said. The school provides a meal and uniforms for the children, and has a budget of more than R800000 for the year. We had a meeting with the department of education to try and work out a way for the children to be placed in a proper schooling system, said Northmore. Meanwhile, Zimbabwean Partson Madzimu has set up a makeshift school in a bus. The bus vehicle was used to transport refugees to a newly set up refugee camp at Rand Airport, near Germiston in Gauteng. With the help of six qualified teachers, Madzimu has spent each day since the start of the xenophobic violence teaching 76 pupils, trying to bring some order into the lives of young learners. They range from those who attend range from pre-school to grade 11s. The top section of the double decker bus is used as a classroom, and takes up two grades at a time, while pupils in other grades are kept busy outside with other activities such as physical education, poetry and drama. Madzimu says they are trying to keep the kids from being restless and they have even encouraged them to compile diaries and drawings about their experiences during the violence as a way of letting them deal with the situation in a creative manner. We are hoping that a tent will be assigned as a school to ease the overcrowding, but for now the bus will do just fine, said Madzimu.

Energy companies will profit from selling an extra £360 million worth of gas and electricity under the Government's plan to reduce household bills, it has been claimed.
Ministers are working on a plan to cut £50 from the average annual energy bill and want to delay a scheme to insulate homes.
As a result, 600,000 customers will have to wait longer for savings on their bills, which will put money in the pockets of the Big Six energy firms, according to the Association for the Conservation of Energy.
The Government wants to delay the completion of the Energy Companies Obligation

Every second of every hour of every day,
Bits of happiness and hope fly away,
Like a well empty of drop of water,
I am hallow and robbed of my laughter,
My inner calm, my hope of love,
My strength, my ability to be tough,
My sprituality and my very soul,
Have left me all alone to attain my goal.
A friend I seek to listen me please
Without any judgement, thats what I need,
Don't feel sympathy nor sorry for me,
Just hear me speak, without feeling sad,
Because I may be empty and have no spirit,
But I will not let go my dreams and feel regret.
I will smile even if there is no happiness,
I will love even if there are no roses,
I will fight even if I have no chance,
I will be confident even if no one gives me a glance,
For my dream, I will live again,
For my dreams, I will hope again,
And for my dreams, I will change the fate,
Because without them, is neither me nor a fate!

For Immediate Release
August 18, 2014
Communications Office
CONCORD – In order to help make communities safer, ensure fairness in the criminal justice system, and provide stability to the state's budget, Governor Maggie Hassan today joined legislators from both parties and officials from the Department of Corrections (DOC) and the Department of Administrative Services (DAS) to break ground on a new state women's prison.
"For far too long, our corrections system has woefully neglected women," Governor Hassan said. "Today's groundbreaking of the new women's prison is a significant step forward for the State of New Hampshire, marking the culmination of a decades-long effort that will help make our communities safer, ensure fairness in our criminal justice system, and provide stability to our state's budget."
Last year, Governor Hassan worked across party lines to pass a bipartisan capital budget that included funding for a new women's prison with facilities and programs that can help individuals safely move back into society when they have served their sentences. Without a suitable facility for female prisoners, the state faced a costly lawsuit that threatened its bond rating.
"By restoring fairness for men and women in our corrections system, we will save the state millions in long-term legal costs from what inevitably would've been a lengthy legal process," Governor Hassan said. "I thank legislators from both parties, our hard-working public servants at the Department of Corrections and the Department of Administrative Services, and our partners in the private sector for making our long-overdue new women's prison a reality."
"This new state-of-the-art prison will have modern facilities to keep dangerous criminals off of our streets, while also helping to reduce recidivism by offering programs to strengthen rehabilitation opportunities and prevent those who serve their sentences from returning to a life of crime," said DOC Commissioner William Wrenn.
SMRT Architects and Engineers designed the new facility and Gilbane Construction will build it. The capital budget included $38 million for the women's prison.

Frank Ocean's "Blonde" (Review)
"Boys do cry, but I don't think I shed a tear for a good chunk of my teenage years. It's surprisingly my favorite part of my life so far. Surprising, to me, because the current phase is what I was asking the cosmos for when I was a kid.

Lea Thompson: 'I Have A Cat Called Stinky Pete & He Is A Slut'
Lea Thompson has her crafty cat to thank for her new movie as scheming Greg Kinnear's wife in comedy thriller "Thin Ice" because she would never have met the film's writer/director if her pet hadn't been scouring the neighborhood for food scraps.
The actress was on the hunt for a really challenging movie role when Jill Sprecher called to say she had the actress' cat.
Thompson explains, "I have a cat called Stinky Pete and he is a slut. He goes to everybody's house and pretends he's got no house and he's hungry.
"My neighbour, Jill Sprecher, called me up and said, 'We have your cat'. We went to see them and get my stupid cat for the fourth time that week and I recognized that Jill was this director that I really admired.
"She said, 'We're doing this movie and there's a part; I wonder if you'd be interested in it.' So Stinky Pete, the cat, got me the job. He will be getting (top cat food) Fancy Feast from now on. We got a crate of it. And catnip!"

You are so funny. I think both sites do a great service to their members. Why think one is better than the other? It's great that the Knicks have so many fans.
I know how here, people say, "We don't have a lot of users", but no matter what you guys say, neither does NYKFanpage. I have been looking at both sites now and I noticed that yeah, the most users that have ever been on this site at one time is like, 12, and at NYKFanpage it's 56. Still, I made a Username at NYKFanpage not long ago, and guess what the name was! I'll tell you what it was, it was: Knicks
That's all... just, Knicks. AFTER ALL OF THAT, NO ONE HAD KNICKS???? I was shocked to see that it was there... but it isn't anymore... Anyway, this site is still much better!!!!!

Forget a High Pay Commission, making people's earnings public would create a fairer society – and be more fun
A group of leftists and centre-leftists have come together in ecumenical communion to call for the establishment of a High Pay Commission. The 100 signatories to the request include Lib Dems, Labourites, Greens and lecturers in media studies, and their most famous champion (in these days when the General Secretary of the TUC is no longer a household name) is the Lib Dem Shadow Chancellor, Vincent Cable. The argument of the 100 signatories is that, just as in 1997 there was a case for the Low Pay Commission to tackle the problem of low pay, so today we need a

NEW! Weed Mountain High IPA available in CT!
New! WEED Mountain High IPA brewed in Connecticut, now available.
April 7, 2014 – Cheshire, CT – Weed Mountain High IPA, a new CT craft brew with recipe originating from Weed, California is now available.
The Weed Company in Cheshire CT is bringing another recipe from Mount Shasta Brewing Company in Weed, California to Connecticut. Indian Pale Ales are the most popular type of craft beer in Weed, California and CT alike. Weed Mountain High IPA is a deep golden, mild and malty Indian Pale Ale. This is a classic American IPA uniting the finest Simcoe and Centennial hops to reach 63 IBUs. This 7% alcohol beer is smooth and mellow with a clean bitter finish. A generous dryhop emphasizes a green hop accent with an enjoyable aroma.
CT Weed craft beers are being contract brewed locally in Bloomfield and have 3 distribution partners - Dichello, HDI and Levine who provide combined coverage for the entire state. Any store or restaurant can order Weed craft beers by contacting one of these distributors. Weed Mountain High IPA and Abner Weed Amber Ale is available in six-packs, cases, 5 gallon logs and half kegs.
Last year on May 17th, Mike Weed, founder of The Weed Company in Cheshire suffered a severe stroke which left him paralyzed on his right side, unable to walk and speak. After intense rehab, a positive attitude and tremendous support from his family and friends, today, Mike is walking and talking and is eager to get out selling Weed Beer! It is important to Mike and his family to create stroke awareness and they have created a website: www.weedstrong.org that includes information and videos about how to identify symptoms of a stroke using the acronym "FAST" where F=Face (drooping), A=Arms (difficulty raising arms), S=Speech(difficulty speaking) and T=Time to call 911.
"We have participated in many brewfests and tasting since the company first launched its Weed Amber Ale in July 2012", said Heidi Weed. "These events are frequented by the growing number of craft beer lovers and many people have asked us about an IPA. These people are also surprised to learn the story behind Weed beer including how it is named after the town of Weed, California and Mike Weed and they are also surprised on how good it tastes. Its a catchy name with excellent liquid to back it up. We are excited about the IPA launch and plan to build our business here in CT before expanding into more eastern states"
Mike's family and friends are planning a special event for stroke awareness month, Weedstock II, which will be held on May 31st at Mixville Park in Cheshire from 12-6pm with 6 bands, Weed beer on tap, food and fun for the whole family. Tickets are $20 in advance and children 13 and under are free.

Suffolk Downs Chooses Mohegan Sun As Partner For Resort Casino in Revere
Agreement paves way for development of world-class facility
(REVERE – November 27, 2013) – Suffolk Downs announced today it has reached agreement with Mohegan Sun to be its development partner and gaming operator for a world-class resort casino on 42 acres of the track's 52 acres in Revere, Massachusetts. The deal brings New England's premier gaming brand – and one of the world's most successful casino companies – together with historic Suffolk Downs to create a world-class destination that will create thousands of jobs, new opportunities for small business and economic development for the entire region.
"This is a historic day for the City of Revere, Suffolk Downs and all of New England," said Richard Fields, principal owner of Suffolk Downs. "By choosing Mohegan Sun as our resort casino developer and operator, we bring new energy and excitement to our pursuit of a gaming license – and a leader and premier brand in resort casino gaming that has been hugely successful in New England for 17 years."
The Mohegan Tribal Gaming Authority operates Mohegan Sun in Uncasville, CT; Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs in Wilkes-Barre, PA; and the Resorts Casino Hotel in Atlantic City, NJ. Mohegan Sun in Connecticut is one of the world's most successful casinos, with more than $900 million in annual gaming revenue.
"Mohegan Sun and Suffolk Downs each began our pursuit of a place in the Massachusetts gaming industry in different ways and different locations. Circumstances brought us together in recent days, and we immediately recognized that something truly special can be created in Revere," said Mitchell Etess, CEO of the Mohegan Tribal Gaming Authority. "This agreement represents an opportunity to develop an incredible destination that will make the City of Revere proud as a host community, that will benefit the entire region with new jobs and economic development, and that will become the signature project for Massachusetts in the resort gaming industry."
Mohegan Sun has one of the strongest financial platforms of any Massachusetts gaming license applicant through its strategic partnership with Brigade Capital Management – a $15 billion investment advisor with extensive experience investing in the gaming industry. The Massachusetts Gaming Commission has already found Mohegan Sun and Brigade, as well as Suffolk Downs, suitable as potential license holders in the Commonwealth.
"Mohegan Sun's premier gaming brand has been hugely successful for 17 years with guests from around New England and the entire Northeast," said Don Morgan, the Managing Member of Brigade Capital Management. "This resort casino in Revere will become the signature project of the Massachusetts gaming industry."
In addition, Mohegan Sun brings to the project a tremendous marketing advantage through its database of loyal guests who visit its resort casinos in Connecticut, Pennsylvania and Atlantic City. By leveraging that marketing database, Mohegan Sun can begin engaging customers immediately on the resort casino project in Revere.
"We're the best in the industry at delivering a resort gaming experience that drives repeat visitors from New England and the entire Northeast," said Kevin Brown, Chairman of the Mohegan Tribal Gaming Authority and Mohegan Tribal Council.. "And with Suffolk Downs, we're the home team – because New England is our home. The destination we create in Revere will be unique to the area and a great enhancement to the many world-class attractions in this region."
Mohegan Sun and Suffolk Downs are already underway in creating the design elements, gaming program, entertainment and other amenities that will be featured in their resort casino project in Revere.
As part of the agreement, Mohegan Sun will honor all commitments made by Suffolk Downs in its Host Community Agreement with the City of Revere - which is currently being amended to reflect the new proposal - and will immediately work together with Suffolk Downs in the process already underway of reaching surrounding community agreements.
Benefits of the amended Host Community Agreement will include millions of dollars in estimated annual payments to Revere once the resort is fully operational - determined in part by the resort's performance. In addition to the annual payments, the agreement will include significant one-time community investments, including capital commitments related to municipal projects and millions in transportation and infrastructure improvements. In addition, the project will create 2,500 construction jobs and 4,000 permanent jobs, with a preference given to Revere residents
"Our strong partnership with Revere goes back over seven decades and today's announcement begins a new exciting chapter," said Chip Tuttle, Chief Operating Officer of Suffolk Downs. "When completed, our agreement will reflect this community's desire for economic development, jobs, community improvements, and small business partnerships that this development proposal will bring. On November 5th, Revere residents voted overwhelmingly in favor of bringing world class destination resort gaming to their community and today's news brings us another step closer to that goal."
Suffolk Downs and Mohegan Sun share a long-standing commitment to working with local businesses, community leaders and cultural and tourist organizations. Currently, Mohegan Sun spends nearly $500 million annually on goods and services from local vendors near its Connecticut and Pennsylvania facilities. Mohegan Sun is one of Connecticut's five largest employers and has a strong track record of hiring and training local employees – more than 90 percent of its employees live locally.
Suffolk Downs has made partnering with local businesses a key part of its plans to develop a resort destination at its property. In Massachusetts, Mohegan Sun has already begun enrolling businesses in its "Massachusetts Player's Club Card" program – a program that supports local businesses and enables guests that earn Player Points to redeem them at local establishments.
Mohegan Sun jobs support families and households, with the opportunity for career growth and advancement in areas such as gaming operations, hospitality, marketing and promotions, transportation, engineering, human resources, accounting and finance.

Objective: To assess the efficacy of a chlorhexidine-impregnated dressing for prevention of central venous catheter–related colonization and catheter-related bloodstream infection using meta-analysis.
Data Sources: Multiple computerized database searches supplemented by manual searches including relevant conference proceedings.
Study Selection: Randomized controlled trials evaluating the efficacy of a chlorhexidine-impregnated dressing compared with conventional dressings for prevention of catheter colonization and catheter-related bloodstream infection.
Data Extraction: Data were extracted on patient and catheter characteristics and outcomes.
Data Synthesis: Nine randomized controlled trials met the inclusion criteria. Use of a chlorhexidine-impregnated dressing resulted in a reduced prevalence of catheter-related bloodstream infection (random effects relative risk, 0.60; 95% CI, 0.41–0.88, p = 0.009). The prevalence of catheter colonization was also markedly reduced in the chlorhexidine-impregnated dressing group (random effects relative risk, 0.52; 95% CI, 0.43–0.64; p < 0.001). There was significant benefit for prevention of catheter colonization and catheter-related bloodstream infection, including arterial catheters used for hemodynamic monitoring. Other than in low birth weight infants, adverse effects were rare and minor.
Conclusions: Our analysis shows that a chlorhexidine-impregnated dressing is beneficial in preventing catheter colonization and, more importantly, catheter-related bloodstream infection and warrants routine use in patients at high risk of catheter-related bloodstream infection and central venous catheter or arterial catheter colonization.
