Assignment: Education- Farm to School
Many of these locally grown, fresh and healthy vegetables will land on your child's school lunch tray in the fall of 2010.
The La Crosse School District is receiving a $60,000 dollar grant through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act to start what is known as a Farm to School program.
"We've connected and met with a variety of local farmers already," said Joni Ralph, La Crosse school nutrition program supervisor. "So, some are out of Winona, Cashton, Viroqua and then other sources that are coming at a greater distance in Minnesota."
The Farm to School program allows schools to provide a fresh product from local farms, like Harmony Valley in Viroqua, to their school cafeterias while also educating students on the food's nutritional value.
"With this particular program it's my intention to increase the level of fruits and vegetables that our students are eating," said Ralph. "And so we'll begin at that spot... looking specifically at what types of things that we can get in the local area here that will be new and fresh and different for our students to incorporate into different kind of menu ideas."
Some of the cook staff in the La Crosse School District will spend the summer creating and testing new recipes for the school menu that will use fresh produce harvested in the summer months.
"For example, one of the ideas that we had was to make a vegetable confetti recipe which is a combination of peppers, zucchini squash and corn," said Ralph, "take that and do that preparation this summer; freeze it and then use it in the fall when these products might not be available to us."
The Holmen School District is also receiving the grant which has allowed them to start implementing food service changes, as well.
"We have in place a contract with a local apple orchard to purchase all of our apples for the 2010-2011 school year from Ecker's Apple Orchard which is about 20 miles away from here," said Michael Gasper, Holmen School District nutrition services supervisor.
This partnership gives students more than just a local product. The orchard is offering tours to classrooms who want to learn how apples are grown and it's also teaching kids the importance of supporting our local economy.
"I think in today's society with as many processed foods as we have as many fast food places that are out there, I think there's somewhat of a disconnect for kids where their food is actually coming from," said Gasper. "And I think this whole farm to school idea really helps kids make that connection.
"In addition, supporting our local economy is very important to us because obviously the local economy support us, as well," said Gasper."
So, as this program begins to set its roots in our area schools, districts like La Crosse are hoping to use the initial farm to school grant money in a way that will keep the program growing.
"We're going in this with the intention of finding systems that are going to work that are sustainable," said Ralph, "because this community really wants these types of programs and have been waiting for this for quite some time."

Trail Running in a War Zone
A Black Hawk helicopter pilot's daring evening jog on the FOB
It's the end of another stressful day somewhere in Afghanistan, my second combat tour here, and I'm about to abandon my combat gear—boots, body armor and M-4 carbine rifle—for running shoes, shorts and a T-shirt. Even here, on a forgotten Forward Operating Base (FOB) in southern Afghanistan, you've got to get out and hit the trails, right?
I grab my roommate and running buddy, Seth. If I want to talk, he'll listen. If I don't, he'll run with me just the same. Plus, if one of those bad guys—be they Taliban, Al Qaeda or otherwise—is going to do me in, I want a witness.
We begin our run near the firing range. No one's here tonight shooting M-4s, Kalashnikovs or RPGs—only a shepherd grazing his goats and sheep in the target area. The image cracks me up—an Army shooting range nestled right up next to an Afghan version of Brigadoon.
Now, I should give a disclaimer of sorts at this point …
I'm a Black Hawk helicopter pilot, a Chief Warrant Officer, and I live a conflicting life. I abhor the wastefulness of modern technology and a few aspects of the American lifestyle I go to war to protect (whatever that means and however that may or may not actually work). The over-consumption, commercialism, immediate-gratification and something-for-nothing aspects of the great nation I belong to turn my stomach.
I want to be a small-time subsistence farmer in Maine, enjoy the outdoors and take no more than I need while trying to give back more at the same time. That's the hippie side of me I have to suppress while I continue my Army career. I love the country of Afghanistan and see its people as great, though often misunderstood. I wish I could spend time on the ground helping some small village rise above the chaos of the last several decades, but I can't; my job is to fly helicopters. That internal struggle is stressful and greatly increases my need to get out and run to unwind.

Holy smokes.... 7 lbs? How long does it keep for? And what's the best way to keep it?I'd like in if you can teach me how to use it over time so it doesn't go bad...
Do you freeze the cheese, or just fridge it?
Hmm.. would you consider vacuum sealing it into 1 lb sections for me at all?Regardless, I think you can count me in. I"m curious how this compares to Bellogioso cheese that I get from RD and Costco right now... I've heard it's far better.
BTW if anyone wants to try Grande cheese, Bari's Italian Deli on Grand Ave sells Ovaline by the pound as well as 15 different types of whole peeled tomatoes and Caputo flour. Grande ovaline was really really good! Order an italian sub while you are at it. Best italian subs in the world! So good that I made a pizza off their subs!

Best Barcelona beaches - names & map
Barcelona top beaches. Guide to Barcelona's beaches. The beaches of Barcelona are a top Barcelona attraction in the summer. The beach swimming season is from mid-April to early October. The sea water temperature is most comfortable for swimming from around end of May. There are nine Barcelona Mediterranean beaches that border city for 4.5km. All Barcelona beaches have the EU blue flag of excellence awarded for water quality and services. Each beach has a different name, which you can see on the Barcelona beach map. A few years ago Barcelona was even named the best beach city in the world by the famous National Geographic magazine. The nearest beaches are 15 to 25 minutes on foot or by metro train from the city centre. You might also be interested in our guide to best hotels near Barcelona beach.
How to get to Barcelona beaches
All Barcelona beaches are all on the yellow metro line L4. You can get off at Barceloneta metro station then walk to the beaches. Once on the beach front you can walk to all the beaches. There are 9 km of beaches in one continuous stretch so if you have a favourite beach then it might be easier to take the metro directly. Find the metro stations to get to the beaches on the beach map at the top of this page.
Which are the best beaches in Barcelona? That depends on what kind of beach experience you prefer. In general terms the southern beaches are more festive because they are closer to Barcelona's old city areas. The northern beaches are a little less crowded and have better sand. Whichever beach you visit in Barcelona it is important to understand that the Barcelona beaches are urban beaches. The beaches are in the city area. They are visited by 3.5 million of people every year. This means they can be quite crowded in high season and the sand is not always as "golden" or "white" as the blogs and guidebooks tell you. The water and sand are very clear and clean in the morning, but both get a bit littered at the end of a busy beach day.
Best Barcelona hotels near beach
Barcelona city council makes a big effort to keep the sand clean and the seawater clear with 90 people working daily in the summer on beach services. Barcelona's beaches are cleaned daily early in the morning and the water quality is tested and is generally very high. So if you get there in the morning the beaches will be very clean and the water will be clear and fresh. You can help by not leaving cigarette butts and litter on the beach.
Costa Barcelona
The entire Barcelona metropolitan area, which includes towns near Barcelona, has 32 km of beaches in total stretching from Montgat north of Barcelona to Castelldefels south of the airport. The Costa Barcelona welcomes 9 million bathers a year. So if you want nice, bigger and a bit tidier beaches, then check out the many beaches outside Barcelona - or book a Barcelona beach tour to Costa Brava beaches outside Barcelona
From the north to south coast of Barcelona city itself there are 9 beaches, which get over 3.5 million visits a year making them one of Barcelona's top attractions. The beaches are crowded in the summer and particularly at the weekend, so get their early to find the best spots. In recent years the Barcelona city council has improved services on the beaches with extra waste bins, more than 200 people cleaning the beaches daily, and special beach police patrols to keep the beaches safe. There are around 60-65 Red Cross lifeguards with 2 boats always on duty during the main beach season in Barcelona.
The summer beach season in Barcelona is from mid-April until 30th September 2013. Daily services, like lifeguards, first aid and rescue centres, public toilets, an environmental information centre, a beach centre on Barceloneta beach (opposite the Hospital del Mar) and police safety points, are usually open from the middle of April and stay in operation until September. After September there are usually weekend beach services, which are open until the middle of October depending on the weather. At the end of the beach season in Barcelona divers from scuba diving club of the Guardia Urbana police force put on their diving gear to help clean up the city seabed - both to improve the ecosystem of the beaches and for safety of next season's bathers - by removing old cans, bottles, fishing lines and other waste items dropped in the sea during the summer. The sea temperature in the winter months usually drops to around 12 to 14 degrees.

Chiringuito beach bars Barcelona
Each Barcelona beach section has small beach bars on the sand which are called "chiringuitos" (pronounced chee-ring-geet-toes.) These little beach bars often organise beach parties. Chiringuitos are hugely popular and serve drinks, snacks and a menu of snacks and salads. The food and drink is a little more than in the city, but considering the beach location the prices are reasonable. Chiringuitos also rent out sun-beds and often have DJ's playing chill-out music. There are also a number of night clubs on the Barcelona beachfront. Find Barcelona beach clubs

Nudist beaches Barcelona
There is a nudist or naturist beach on a section of La Mar Bella beach in Barcelona. The nudist beach section is marked in yellow on the Barcelona beach map. Nudists were previously unofficially allowed on the Sant Sebastià beach, but is not an official nudist section and with the arrival of the Hotel W and many new beach-front restaurants, nudism on this Barcelona beach is not allowed. A petition has been started make this the second nudist beach in Barcelona, but this is not likely to happen.
Swimming and safety
Swimming and bathing in Barcelona is very safe and there are no dangerous currents close by the shore. But check the lifeguards flags at all times before going into the water. All the Barcelona beaches have the EU Blue Flag ratings for eco-quality, disabled access, lifeguards on duty (only in season), showers etc.
There can be big waves at Barcelona beaches. It can also be windy. If the waves are big or there is a strong off-shore wind and you are not strong swimmer, stay close to the shore and away from the rocks. See our Barcelona weather page and read more about Barcelona sea water temperatures. Check the Green, Yellow and REd warning flags at the Red Cross Lifeguard centres before going for a swim.
Green flag - safe for bathing
Yellow flag - bathe with caution
Red flag - bathing prohibited
Jellyfish - Medusas
Jellyfish Barcelona. Sometimes in the warmer months the Barcelona beach waters are invaded by jellyfish (called medusas.) This is usually in late July and August when the water can be up to 26 degrees warm. Swarms of jellyfish appear because of generally warmer sea temperatures combined with recent years decline in marine life like turtles, that eat jellyfish and help keep jellyfish numbers down. The good news is that the jellyfish are usually around 50m from the shoreline, so you will not notice them very much. If you are on the beach in Barcelona and there are many jellyfish in the water, you can see a yellow flag - which means bathe with caution - or the special "jellyfish" warning flag at the Red Cross life guard centres (called the Creu Roja Catalunya.) If you are unlucky and get stung by a jellyfish, then ask the Red Cross life guards - called socorristas - for free assistance. A jellyfish sting is painful, but not dangerous and causes a rash similar to being stung by nettles, but it can be unpleasant. One of the best treatments for a jellyfish sting is warm salty water. > Read more about jellyfish and treatment.
Beach safety lockers
There are not any public lockers on the beaches in Barcelona, so don't leave your valuables unattended - and don't fall asleep on the beach, even if you are using your bag for a pillow. The beaches in Barcelona do have problems with beach thieves stealing bags, so our advice is to leave valuables in your hotel safe and just take a little cash with you to the beach. Barceloneta beach probably has the worst problem with bag thefts on the beach because it is closest to the old city centre. The more northerly beaches are not so bad, but be aware. Barcelona is a safe city but there are problems with pickpockets and bag-thieves. Read how to avoid pickpockets in Barcelona
Surfing and Paddle surfing
Surfing and Paddle surfing in Barcelona. Surfing has become popular in Barcelona in recent years and you will generally surfers in spring, autumn and winter in Barcelona. The waves are small and choppy and Barcelona is not a top surfing destination, but on some days it can be done. The best surf beaches on the city beaches are Sant Sebastian and Sant Miquel down by the Hotel W. There are breakwaters in front of some of the other Barcelona beaches to reduce the number of waves breaking on the shore. Bad news for surfers but it makes swimming safer for bathers in the summer and reduces the erosion of the Barcelona beaches caused by the spring and autumn storms. Another sport growing in popularity on the surf beaches of Barcelona and especially on beaches outside Barcelona is SUP Stand Up Paddle board surfing which is a fun watersport that anyone can learn. You can rent boards in Barcelona or contact DayTripsBarcelona for half-day SUP tours that pick you up at your hotel in Barcelona and take you to a lovely beach outside Barcelona where you get SUP paddle board lessons and rentals.
What can you rent on Barcelona beach
There are two sailing clubs on Barcelona beach but they are for members only and do not have tourist sailing rentals. Barcelona is not a beach resort, but a city with a beach, so there are few watersport rentals on Barcelona beaches. There are no pedal boat rentals on Barcelona beaches, mostly because the waves can be too big. You can find one company offering parachute rides, but not banana rides. You can rent SUP paddle surf boards by the hour at Barceloneta beach. Jetskis cannot be rented on the beach, but there are two Barcelona jetski rental companies in the Port Olimpic marina and the Port Forum marina.

Water quality Barcelona beaches
The beach water in Barcelona is very clean. On busy days there can be problems with litter and rubbish in the water like plastic bags and bottles. Most of this litter blows into the water from the beach, so please take your litter with you when you leave the beach. Since 2006 a "clean beach" campaign to encourage bathers to clear up their own mess on the beaches has improved the water quality considerably. You can check the water quality and temperature on the official Barcelona beach website. On most days the water is refreshingly clear and clean and perfect for a quick dip after work or shopping. Many bathers stay on the beach until 21.00 in the evening in the hot summer months.
Which Barcelona beach is best?
The beaches run from south to north and so does the party scene. The party beaches that are most popular with students, travellers, backpackers and tourists are the south beaches called Somorrostro, Barceloneta, Sant Miquel and Sant Sebastia which are closest to the old city of Barcelona. These beaches are fun, crowded, noisy and the sand is more dirty than the other beaches. This is almost where you are most likely to have your bag stolen or snatched on the the beach. It´s a good idea to be aware on the beach. Do not leave valuables like phones and wallets in plain view and if possible do not take valuables to the beach at all. > How to avoid pickpockets and being robbed in Barcelona. If you are looking for more tranquil beaches with cleaner sand, then go to the beaches to the north of Barcelona´s beach front. As you walk north along the beaches in Barcelona, you will notice the difference. The north beaches in Barcelona are better liked by local residents and families and definately less touristy. The sand is cleaner too. If you enjoy nudism or naturism, then head for Mar Bella beach, which is the official city nudist/naturist beach, although nudism is not compulsory. The nudist area is in front of an artificial dune created to spare innocent eyes from naked flesh, but generally you will also see nudity a little way outside the designated nudism area.
Zona Banys Forum - Parc del Forum bathing area
At the north end of the beaches there is an alternative to sand beaches called the Zona Banys Forum. This is an open water bathing area where you can swim in sea water in an enclosed area. Not charming at all but no sand and not very crowded
New laws - Nudity and Semi-nudity
A new law was passed in 2011 banning nudity and semi-nudity on the streets of Barcelona. This means that you can be fined 300 to 500 euros for being naked in public places in Barcelona and an also for wearing a bathing suits or similar items of clothing unless you are in the vicinity of swimming pools or beaches.. Nudism on beaches in Barcelona should only be on the nudist beach of Mar Bella. The reason for this new law is that Barcelona is a city and wants to avoid having an image as a seaside resort. Another reason is to address issues of hygiene and respect for those members of the general public who prefer not to see semi-nude people on the streets.
History Barcelona beaches
Before the Barcelona Olympic Games in 1992, it was often said that Barcelona had "turned its back" on the sea. The shores of Barcelona were mostly areas with factories and there were even shanty town slums on the beaches. The only area for bathers was at Barceloneta beach. All that changed in 1992 when new beaches and a long new beach-front was constructed for the 1992 Barcelona Olympic games. Since then Barcelona has become a top beach city to the joy of both tourists and residents who can choose from 9 beaches on a stretch of 5 km from Barcelona's harbour north up the coastline of the city up to the Port Forum marina. The goal of Barcelona is to offer visitors the best city beaches in the world and they have achieved this goal.

A study released this year revealed one out of every ten children attending public schools in the U.S. are located within a mile of a facility that stores or uses toxic chemicals, at levels that could result in a major catastrophe.The bulk use and storage of poison gases like chlorine at chemical facilities and wastewater and drinking water plants puts millions of Americans at risk of a Bhopal magnitude chemical disaster. Just 300 of these plants put a third of Americans at risk. But some communities no longer face these risks because they switched to safer chemical processes. For example, Washington, DC converted their waste water treatment plant 90 days after the 9/11 attacks. Before 9/11 their use of chlorine gas put 1.7 million people at risk.President Obama's Department of Homeland Security and Environmental Protection Agency have consistently asked Congress for the authority to remove these risks by requiring the use of safer chemical processes where feasible. Unfortunately, Republicans in Congress have blocked these efforts. In 2013 the President took the first step by issuing an Executive Order (#13650) directing the EPA and other agencies to modernize safety rules for chemical facilities. Those agencies are behind schedule in proposing new regulations by 2016 that require plants to operate their facilities in a way that prevents catastrophic release of poison gases. Tell the President to use his authority to implement these changes under the Clean Air Act and require new regulations that lead with the safest alternatives.
President Obama: Prevent Chemical Disasters
Dear President Obama,
I am writing to urge you to take prompt and decisive action to address a danger that you have highlighted for a decade the threat to our communities and workers from accidents or deliberate attacks on U.S. chemical plants. With all due respect, your Administration is running out of time to make a real difference on this critical issue. I was encouraged, after the tragic West, Texas disaster in April 2013, that you issued an Executive Order directing federal agencies to modernize their safety regulations. As a result, the EPA is now considering new regulations, but has postponed issuing a draft until September. Waiting until then to begin a process that could take more than a year is likely to put the final rule in serious jeopardy. Your past leadership on preventing chemical disasters has been unparalleled. The millions of people living and working within high risk zones near hundreds of chemical facilities are counting on you to prevent future tragedies. To ensure that new rules do take effect, they must be finalized well in advance of the end of your administration's term in office.In 2006, as a U.S. Senator, you stated emphatically that "these plants are stationary weapons of mass destruction spread all across the country." According to a December 2014 Congressional Research Service analysis, 466 of these facilities each put 100,000 or more people at risk of a catastrophic disaster. Fortunately, safer cost-effective chemical processes are widely available. Since 2001, hundreds of chemical facilities have switched to safer chemical processes and eliminated these risks to 40 million people in 47 states. While this is encouraging, reliance solely on voluntary efforts has left more than 100 million people in the U.S. at risk of death or injury because they live and work inside "vulnerability zones" surrounding these high-risk chemical facilities. The Clean Air Act provides the EPA with authority to require chemical facility owners and operators to use safer processes that will reduce or eliminate the potential for a catastrophic chemical incident. Safer processes are the only foolproof way to eliminate or dramatically reduce the loss of human life in such an event, whether it is triggered by an accident, natural disaster, or terrorism. In your 2008 book Change We Can Believe In you promised, "An Obama Administration will...[s]ecure our chemical plants by setting a clear set of federal regulations that all plants must follow, including improving barriers, containment, mitigation and safety training, and wherever possible, using safer technology, such as less toxic chemicals."On April 3, 2012, Governor Whitman wrote EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson urging the use of "authorities you can apply to reduce these hazards before a tragedy of historic proportions occurs." And following the West, Texas, disaster, then-EPA Administrator Jackson told MSNBC, "We need to use the authority we have now." I respectfully urge you to finalize new disaster prevention rules that will eliminate these catastrophic hazards wherever feasible as soon as possible. Thank you for your leadership on this important issue.

Girls state golf: Pueblo West's Ewing fares best in first round
COLORADO SPRINGS — A rough start, a better finish.
That summed up the day for one of the top two girls from the Southern Region at the Country Club of Colorado.
Pueblo West High School junior Courtney Ewing and East senior Gia Zupancic had their struggles early on during the first round of the Class 4A State High School Girls Golf Championships played at the 5,959-yard, par-72 layout on Monday.
Ewing recovered enough to finish the day tied for fourth. Zupancic didn't.
Ewing, initially playing the backside of the course, started her round with three bogeys and a double bogey. She made the turn at 6-over-par 42.
A birdie on the 18th hole followed by another birdie on No. 1 gave her momentum. That carried her to a 40 for her back nine and an 82 total, good enough for a tie for fourth place entering today's final round.
However, she is 10 strokes back of Jefferson Academy's Jennifer Kupcho, the first-day leader who shot even-par 72 on Monday. Kupcho was the only player to shoot in the 70s.
The team chase is tight with five teams within nine strokes — Montrose at 267, Cheyenne Mountain 270, Valor Christian 271, Estes Park 272 and Colorado Academy 276.
Pueblo East, which is playing in the state tournament for the first time in outgoing coach Bruce Beller's 10-year tenure, shot a 314 total and is sitting in eighth place.
"Really shaky start, but I came around," Ewing said. "A couple of birdies really saved me. I actually got a lot of putts to drop when I needed them. I'm happy how well I fought back after the first few holes.
"I really like the course. It does play tough. It plays longer than we're used to."
Zupancic, the South-Central League and Southern Region champion, had an 8 on No. 2 to start her round. That led to an 8-over-par 44 at the turn and she never recovered, finishing at 17-over-par 89.
"I just didn't have a swing today," Zupancic said. "My drives were good but I couldn't make a putt. One was too far, one was too short. The greens were tough. I thought they were pretty hard, fast greens like that."
Ewing, who finished in a tie for 25th as a sophomore and 45th as a freshman, has lofty goals for today.
"I want to get into the top 10, so have to contain the nerves," Ewing said. "That got to me today and I can't let that happen tomorrow. Mid- to high 70s is possible if I don't have such a rough start."
Zupancic, who tied for 37th as a junior and tied for 23rd as a sophomore, said she just needs to enter the second round with a better attitude.
"Just go refocus," she said. "Probably go putt a little bit tonight. Figure out what I was doing with my long irons and woods."

About the Author: Brenda Sprague serves as the Deputy Assistant Secretary for Passport Services.
It was a dark and stormy night… no, actually, Monday was a dark and stormy day, and as Tropical Storm Fay roared toward southern Florida, I was preparing for a press conference. As the Deputy Assistant Secretary for Passport Services, I was in Miami to launch the Department of State's new passport product, the U.S. Passport Card. The press conference was held at the Port of Miami on August 18. With a cruise ships in the background, I addressed, in Spanish and English, print reporters about the newly-minted passport and its advantages for the traveler's wallet: its convenient size and affordable cost.
Below I've tried to answers a few of the questions you may have about this new passport product.
What is the U.S. Passport Card?
It is a wallet-sized travel document issued to U.S. citizens. When American citizens return to the United States by land or by sea from Mexico, Canada, the Caribbean, or Bermuda, the U.S. Passport Card documents your citizenship and identity in one convenient-to-carry-and-use card.
What Is The Difference Between The Book And Card?
The two main differences deal with your wallet: One is size and the other is cost. The convenient pocket-sized format that will allow you to travel conveniently with a secure form of identification and proof of U.S. citizenship.
For adults, if this is your first U.S. passport, the Card will cost $45 and you must apply in person. Minors under the age of 16 must pay $35 for a U.S. passport card, even if they have previously been issued a U.S. passport. If you currently have a valid U.S. passport, you may be able to apply for a U.S. passport card by mail for only $20. By way of comparison, the passport book costs $100 for first-time adult applicants and $85 for children. Adults can renew their passport books for $75.
When you're deciding which document you want, consider another important distinction: the passport book can be used for all international travel – land, sea or air anywhere in the world. The new U.S. Passport Card can be used only for land and sea travel returning to the United States from Canada, Mexico, the Caribbean and Bermuda. The one you choose will depend on your travel plans for the future.
I bet you want to now how can you get One?
Information on how to apply for a U.S. Passport Card or the traditional U.S. passport book can be found at the U.S. Department of State's website, Travel.State.Gov.
Why Am I So Excited About this Card?
With the deadline for these new document requirements less than one year away, we urge U.S. citizens to apply today for their U.S. Passport Cards.
Don't delay – be sure you have the document you need so you can continue traveling anywhere in the world you need to go. Apply for your U.S. Passport Card today!
Ari in Massachusetts writes:
This is great. Are there plans, if the project is successful, to gradually replace the pass book with the pass card for all travel?
David in Massachusetts writes:
The Passport Card and Enhanced Driver's Licenses are a welcome replacement for insecure and hard-to-verify photoless birth certificates, but they are severely limited because they can't be used to travel internationally by air. They seem to be as secure as the booklets so I can only assume the issue is money for card readers at airports. Instead, travelers will bear the large cost of the more expensive booklet. A family of 4 would spend $40-$100 for documents if driving to Canada but about $400 if they fly. I hope the issue will be revisited soon and that governments will spend the money to make the cards acceptable for air travel.

Celebrate Easter in Gilded fashion March 30 at the Flagler Museum's South Lawn for the annual Easter egg hunt. Fashioned after the White House's Easter Egg Roll, Whitehall opens the gates for children to hunt for more than 5,000 eggs scattered throughout the property and join in for the Easter activities.
Festivities begin at 9 a.m. with photo ops with the Easter Bunny, arts and crafts, balloon sculptors and face painting. The Easter egg hunt begins at 10 a.m. for children four and under, with 3,000 eggs scattered across the lawn for the toddlers to find. At 10:20 a.m. the older kids, ages five and over, try their hat at finding more than 4,000 eggs hidden in the South Lawn's more difficult hiding spaces (for those counting, that's more than 7,000 eggs hidden around the museum's lawns). Following the egg hunt, the Easter egg roll gets underway.
A tradition that dates back centuries in some form or another, the Easter egg roll found new traction on the lawns of the White House in 1878 with President Rutherford B. Hayes, when he and First Lady Lucy Hayes welcomed children onto the South Lawn for the first White House Easter Egg Roll. The tradition went into hibernation during the lean years of the 1930s as the Great Depression struck, but was resurrected by First Lady Mamie Eisenhower in the 1950s, and has continued on ever since. Children armed with wooden spoons take to the White House's South Lawn and race eggs along stretching lanes, often accompanied by the President and First Lady offering encouragement along the way. The Flagler Museum's Easter Egg Hunt and Roll takes a page from the White House's book for a morning of excitement the entire family can enjoy.
The eggs begin to roll at 10:30 a.m. when the wee ones, ages four and under, are given their wooden spoons and begin rolling their eggs across the lawn (with parent's assistance of course). Children ages five to seven follow at 10:40 a.m., and children over eight take the field for the highly competitive roll at 10:50 a.m.
- Tickets cost $18 for adults, $10 for children (free for members and their children or grandchildren)
- Gates open at 9 a.m., with hunt beginning at 10 a.m. sharp.

Dell used to be a maker of generic personal computers, but in the recent three to four years it started to address the more lucrative market of high-end personal computers, including PCs for gamers as well as expensive systems aimed at customers who can pay a price premium. But while Alienware-branded PCs appear to be popular, Adamo-branded notebooks seem to receive rather tepid welcome from the audience.
After less than one year on the market, the entry model of Dell Adamo dropped to $999 from $1999. Dell Adamo XPS, which was released back in December, 2009, at the price of $1799, is currently not obtainable from Dell's web-site, according to Electronista web-site. Although the two facts hardly mean a lot in general, they may indicate that Adamo is not popular among potential users, something, which can be explained on the whole.
Dell is not known for high-end, or luxury, systems. As a result, customers, who can pay for a premium-class notebook, barely choose Dell. There are people, who pay additional amount of money for Lenovo ThinkPad or Panasonic Toughbook since those laptops are tailored for usage in business or rugged environments. There are also those, who consider Apple Macbook Air stylish and useful and willing to pay a premium for this computer. Moreover, there are consumers, who buy truly luxurious notebooks with exclusive enclosures with precious materials. Unfortunately for Dell, its Adamo family has not succeeded in becoming yet another premium notebook.
Dell did not comment on the news-story.

Wright: WCA Is Taking Steps To Thrive
CHAUTAUQUA – Health care reform has been a hot-button issue since the announcement of the Affordable Care Act, and it took center stage at Smith-Wilkes Hall in Chautauqua Institution on Monday morning.
Betsy Wright, president of WCA Hospital, delivered a lecture focusing on health care reform and how it affects community hospitals. WCA is a loosely affiliated, independent community hospital with revenue of roughly $115 million per year, and over the next five years, cuts to WCA will total roughly $44.5 million.
"We provide care 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, and we're vital to our community," Wright said. "Under health care reform, there are many, many positive benefits to the Affordable Care Act – expanded coverage, ensuring that Medicare is there for us in the future – but at the same time, it comes with significant cuts to hospitals and other providers."
According to Wright, many community hospitals are very fragile right now. In New York, one out of every three hospitals operates at a deficit, and New York's hospitals will see a decrease in funding over the next 10 years of $21 billion.
"WCA has worked hard to operate with a positive profit line over the last several years," Wright said. "But it certainly hasn't been without its challenges."
In New York, since 2000, 34 hospitals and 71 nursing homes have closed. At the state level, many of these entities have seen significant cuts. Another factor that plays into these developments is hospitals generally take a loss on Medicaid reimbursements, and the number of people who qualify for Medicaid and utilize its benefits continues to grow. At WCA over the past 10 years, Medicaid has gone from making up 14 percent of the services that are provided to roughly 19 percent in 2013.
"We're also seeing some penalties at both the state and federal level, even though they're categorized as reforms," Wright said. "Furthermore, under the Affordable Care Act, hospitals will see cuts in their reimbursements of $15.4 billion, a coding adjustment of $3.3 billion, fiscal cliff agreements of $1.3 billion and sequestration is $2.1 billion."
The ACA was initially proposed as a way to do many different things, including: preserving the Medicare program, decreasing the escalation of Medicare spending in the country, making the expenditures on health care a smaller percentage of the GDP and covering more patients.
"There are so many complex parts to health care reform, and enough has been set in motion, that I can assure you that things will never go back to the old status quo," Wright said.
According to Wright, there will be many different challenges that community hospitals will face in the future because of these reforms. The expectation is that 15 million more people will become Medicare eligible over the next 10 years due to the baby boomers. At the same time, the ACA will be covering many more people, and the demand for coverage will escalate. Hospitals like WCA are working on physician recruitment initiatives, as well as trying to find ways to allow physicians to have more office time available for their patients.
"One of the things that many hospitals are doing, including WCA, is implementing hospitalist programs," Wright said. "Hospitalists are physicians that specialize in in-patient care, so when a patient comes to the emergency room and needs to be admitted, the hospitalist cares for that patient. When they're ready to be discharged, the hospitalist then sends the information about that patient's stay and discharge instructions to their primary care physician."
Another hurdle that New York will have to overcome in the next five years is the number of physicians who are nearing retirement. New York is currently ranked as the third highest state in regard to the number of practicing physicians over the age of 60. In response to that, the American Association of Medical Colleges has approved a 30 percent increase in enrollment for medical schools. Requests for additional residency positions have also been requested. WCA has applied to New York state for funding to assist with that recruitment, as well, and received two Doctors Across New York grants, totalling $200,000, to help with associated costs like income guarantees.
"Hospitals have to be cost competitive," Wright said. "At WCA, we're very fortunate. We're a very efficient, very low-cost hospital, which makes us very important in the system of care. When we look at labor and supply costs compared to hospitals across the country, we're in the best 10 percent."
Wright also spoke a length about how big a health care system needs to be to survive in a post-ACA world. Two years ago, the theory was that in order to be successful under the full implementation of the ACA, a health care system had to be about a $2 billion organization. However, the literature now says that in order to be successful you have to be a $10 billion organization, which has led to mergers in many cases. The current estimate is that over the next 10 years, 25 percent of the hospitals in New York will close.
"I think that number is aggressive, but we'll see," Wright said. "In Buffalo, we've seen six or seven Catholic hospitals come together as Catholic Health; other area hospitals have come together as Kaleida. WCA has signed a strategic affiliation with UPMC Hamot, which two years ago was acquired by UPMC out of Pittsburgh. Hamot is now part of a $22 billion system."
According to Wright, even in less-than-ideal conditions, the primary focus of WCA continues to be on the quality of care that it can afford its patients.
"We've been serving the community for 128 years, and that's not changing," said Wright. "We're taking steps to continue to be successful under the ACA and not only survive, but thrive. WCA has faced very difficult challenges in the past, and we worked with our board members, physicians, leadership and staff, and we've come out stronger because of it. "

Topic: two questions: selected value through form and define a variable
I have two questions:
1) Newby question: I have chapter select list and new card form. How can I send selected chapter value through new card form? I cannot put chapter select list into new card form because I use ajax form to add new chapters. Should I use some javascript that observe what chapter user picked or is there some other way...?
2) In a view I'm using select helper were using :selected => nr_chapter (variable). So, when I'm using variable (not @instance_variable) then i don't have to define it in controller? At leas right now it works and I just wonder why? (I haven't define it in controller)
In other way.. you don't have to defined variable and you have to define @instance_variable in controller before using in view. Just correct me if I'm wrong.
I'm using quote because then I can the code bold.
Thanks for any tips!

Geoff Regan Halifax West, NS
Mr. Speaker, I guess they are sad that they were not invited.
One key recommendation was for Health Canada to fund a drug shortages monitoring system similar to the FDA's in the U.S.
Will the government commit to this first step, or does it still think that timely access for prescription medication, as listed in the 2004 health accord, is not its responsibility?
Oral Questions
2:55 p.m.
Colin Carrie Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Health
Mr. Speaker, that was the problem when the Liberals were in government. All they ever did was hold round tables. They never took action.
Our government is way ahead of the Americans. We are playing a leadership role when it comes to the drug shortage issue around the world.
This summer the minister talked to drug companies and said that if they did not take action, the government would look at regulations.
I am pleased to report to the House that these companies have responded positively to our request. Information about drug shortages will soon be available on public websites, giving patients and medical professionals the information they need to make decisions. The final details are being worked out--

Mr. Speaker, today first nations communities are taking the federal government to court in order to seek justice in the egregious underfunding of first nations schools. Communities like Attawapiskat still have no school, something which Shannen Koostachin so bravely fought for.
Provinces typically spend about $12,000 per student in non-aboriginal schools. The federal government spends only $8,000 per year per student in first nations schools.
Will the Minister of Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development acknowledge that this funding inequity is actually discrimination, and commit immediately—

Mr. Speaker, in terms of first nations education across the country, we have obviously taken this very seriously. We have made it a priority.
I cannot comment on the litigation that has come forward; once there is litigation, obviously we cannot do that.
In terms of the school in Attawapiskat, we have made a commitment. It is under way. Even the member for Timmins—James Bay said that it could not be done any faster. We are doing the right thing.

Élaine Michaud Portneuf—Jacques-Cartier, QC
Mr. Speaker, the people of Neuville are worried about an airport being built in their area, but the Minister of Transport, Infrastructure and Communities has consistently refused to meet with the mayor because this apparently is not his jurisdiction.
He should probably tell his staffer, who told the mayor of Neuville last week that he would organize a meeting. Perhaps the issue is that no one knows what falls under the minister's jurisdiction.
Will the minister finally commit to meeting with mayors who are worried about the effects of the Carriage by Air Act?

Denis Lebel Minister of Transport
Mr. Speaker, our government has a tremendous amount of respect for provincial and municipal jurisdictions in Quebec. This member does not understand that the city is responsible for what happens within a municipal region. The mayor and the city council have an agreement. The city signed an agreement with the developer to minimize the effects of the construction.
Could we talk about federal jurisdiction in the House and allow those in other jurisdictions to do their jobs?

Annick Papillon Québec, QC
Mr. Speaker, it took a veteran's desperate act to make the minister agree to establish a consultative committee on veterans' health.
The minister promised Pascal Lacoste that the committee would be set up by December 8. That is in two weeks' time. However, we have heard absolutely nothing since he made the announcement. All we know is that the first topic of study will be the effects of exposure to depleted uranium.
Can the minister tell us who will sit on the committee in question and can he commit to tabling the committee's report in the House?
Oral Questions

Steven Blaney Minister of Veterans Affairs
Mr. Speaker, on this side of the House, when it is time to vote for our veterans, we rise and support the budget initiatives to help them. Furthermore, when it is time to help veterans, as I helped Mr. Lacoste, we extend our hand to them. We are prepared to provide him with treatment and an assessment that meet his needs and those of his brothers in arms. I made the commitment and hon. members will have to stay tuned: the veterans' health committee will be set up by December 8.

Mr. Speaker, first nations members have been calling for the same accountability and transparency from their elected officials that all Canadians expect and deserve.
Despite fierce opposition from the NDP and the Liberals, our government is taking action to ensure that first nations people can access financial information about their chiefs and councillors, and take real steps toward democratic and economic change.
Could the Minister of Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development tell the House how our government is addressing this issue?

Mr. Speaker, our government believes that first nations, like all Canadians, deserve transparency and accountability from their elected officials.
The first nations transparency and accountability act builds on our government's ongoing commitment to ensuring first nations have strong, transparent and accountable governments. It will also decrease the reporting burden.
We have listened to community members who have repeatedly said this is necessary for their communities. I am proud that our government is taking action, which has been long overdue.

Stéphane Dion Saint-Laurent—Cartierville, QC
Mr. Speaker, the Minister of Veterans Affairs, he who stands side by side with our brave veterans, must know that when one's life is in danger, it is a human reaction to want to speak in one's mother tongue, with one's accent, with someone who understands us and knows the danger we are facing.
What is the minister going to do to prevent Quebec from being divided in two, with half going to Trenton and the other half going to Halifax, and to ensure that this rescue centre, located across from his riding, can continue to save lives on the St. Lawrence River and in the Gulf of St. Lawrence?

Lapierre Island
Oral Questions

Paulina Ayala Honoré-Mercier, QC
Mr. Speaker, under the ecological gift program, businessman Alfonso Argento donated Île Lapierre and walked away with nearly $14 million. The island is covered in garbage and no longer has any ecological value. All the officials who worked on the file have said so. The land was last evaluated at less than $400,000.
How could the Government of Canada have determined a market value of $14 million, when no assessment agrees with that amount?

Oven Baked Corn Dogs
- 2 boxes corn muffin mix, 8 1/2 ounces each (recommended: Jiffy brand)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 eggs
- 3/4 cup milk
- 1/2 stick butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon chili powder, eyeball it in your palm
- 2 teaspoons cumin, eyeball it
- 2 teaspoons cayenne pepper sauce (recommended: Tabasco or Frank's Red Hot
- 2 scallions, finely chopped
- 8 jumbo pork or beef franks
- Sweet Relish Slaw Salad, recipe follows
- 1 bag reduced fat potato chips (recommended: Cape Cod brand or Terra brand Garlic and Onion flavor Yukon chips)
- Sweet Relish Slaw Salad:
- 1 cup sweet pickle relish
- 1/4 cup cider vinegar, eyeball it
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil, eyeball it
- 2 large cloves garlic, crushed
- 2 bay leaves, dried
- 3 whole cloves
- 1 pound shredded cabbage salad (slaw salad mix with carrots and red cabbage, available in produce department marked "Cole Slaw Mix" in 1 pound packages)
- Salt and pepper
- 4 scallions, sliced
DirectionsWatch how to make this recipe.
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
In a shallow dish, combine muffin mix with flour, then stir in eggs, milk and melted butter. Season the mix with chili powder, cumin, cayenne and scallions. The batter will be a thick, sticky biscuit dough. Place a hot dog in the bowl of batter and swoosh it around to coat it. Remove coated dog to a nonstick cookie sheet and use your fingers to spread batter on any exposed dog spots. Don't coat it too thick, just shy of 1/2-inch should do the trick. If it's too thick it will just slide off the dog while it's baking, leaving the dog exposed. If that happens don't sweat it, they will still taste great. Repeat until all 8 are coated. Bake 12 to 15 minutes or until evenly deep brown all over.
Serve the oven baked corn dogs with your favorite hot dog condiments. Serve with Sweet Relish Slaw Salad and with some baked or reduced-fat chips alongside the dogs.
In the bottom of a medium, shallow bowl combine relish, vinegar, oil, garlic, bay and cloves. Let stand 5 minutes then fish out the garlic, bay and cloves. Add cabbage salad and toss, let stand 10 to 20 minutes in the refrigerator. Season salad with salt and pepper, toss in the scallions then serve.

Just like there are exercises to lose weight, there are simple exercises, which you can do to stop your snoring completely. Snoring is a common condition and it generally takes place more in men than women. It mostly affects individuals who are overweight and the condition gets worsened with age. Though it is not a serious condition, it has to be dealt as it affects the sleep of your sleeping partner. The main cause of snoring is an improper flow of air through the mouth or nose.
The airflow to the nose is obstructed by factors like:
- Obesity
- Pregnancy
- Genetic factors
- Sinus Infection
- Congestion
How to Prevent Snoring:
It is very essential that prior attention is given to this condition before it turns out to be a serious problem. The self help tips that can be used by individuals to stop snoring include proper exercising, losing weight, quitting smoking and not drinking alcohol as well as setting up an ideal sleeping pattern. There are devices available in the pharmaceutical stores like the mouth guard device which are specially designed to help stop snoring. There are medications also available that help to stop snoring and have good quality sleep.
Amazing and Simple Exercises to Stop Snoring:
You can cure your snoring problem easily by practicing vocal exercises without the need of even going through a painful and expensive surgery.
- Singing: Singing is an excellent exercise that is very good for your vocal passage and that can cure the snoring problem. It is best that you start singing in a warm shower and the moist steam of the warm water would soothe your throat. The benefit of singing is that it tightens the muscles and it is an excellent and natural way that would cure your sleeping problem. You can practice singing at least 20 minutes in a day, and you would surely experience the difference.
- Yawning: The second simple exercise that can be done to stop snoring is yawning, which involves opening and closing of your mouth. The exercise done in a yawning motion would strengthen both the inner and outer neck muscles. It is very necessary that the mouth is opened widely, and this activity can be done anytime of the day.
- Chewing: The third exercise that is helpful to get relief from sleep disorders is chewing. You can fix your throat by chewing the tip of a pencil. You don't have to bite the pencil, and you just need to fix your throat muscles to make certain that your airway is clear.

And the intensity of sound is not very high, when I am in work, I can't feel it, but in quite place I can feel it. It started 3 weeks earlier, after the onset of infection, on the 3rd day. And now after 3 weeks it is still disturbing me. It is quite disturbing and I am afraid also. Pls help me. Shall I be all right. Also may be it can help. I am very susceptible to cold air. I have mentioned in allergy section. Pls help.
I am having dizziness problems. I am having normal sleep. Even after or during exercise also I feel drowsy.
Are you experiencing severe hearing loss or turning deaf? To get back your normal hearing, you should undertake a cochlear. It is a small device which is planted in your ear via a surgical procedure. It sends impulses to the auditory nerve directly and as a result, sound signals are carried to your brain. Such an implant does not make you hear like normal again, but it helps you with sounds and knowing sounds around you such as telephones, alarms and doorbells.
How Does Cochlear Implant Work?
Cochlear implant is meant for adults and children who have sensorineural hearing loss. This is a condition which damages the tiny hair cells in the inner ear known as the cochlea. Your hearing gets impaired when these are damaged. A cochlear implant sends signals to the auditory nerve directly by skipping the damaged hair cells.
The device has two distinct parts. One part is the receiver-stimulator which is placed under the skin via surgery. The other part is the speech processor, which is worn around the back of the ear like a hearing aid. The outside device is, however, bigger in size than a hearing aid.
The receiver is placed under the skin, behind the ear through a small incision and it gets connected to electrodes. This is put into the cochlea of the inner ear. The surgery takes about some hours to be completed.
Two weeks after the surgery, the speech processor is fitted by the doctor. You will have to wear a microphone behind your ear. The processor can be connected to the microphone and worn around the ear. It can also be worn at any other place of the body, depending on your age and lifestyle.
Advantages of Cochlear Implant-
The major advantages of a cochlear implant are as follows:
You may be able to hear speech at an almost normal level.
You may understand speech without the help of lip reading.
It will be easy for you to talk on the phone and listen to the television.
Your experience of listening to music will improve.
You will be able to pick up different sounds starting from soft, medium to loud sounds.
You can also control your own voice in a better way, which will make it easier for others to understand you.
A cochlear implant can be a life changing device if you suffer from serious hearing loss. The results are not the same for everyone and vary from person to person. Some people may benefit more than others.
Sir madam mere gale me dard hai aur me bhi andar lu to drd hota hai and cold bhi h aur sneezes bhi aa rhi h.kharash h gle me. please hlp.
I am suffering from Tonsil Stones which appears and disappears at times. Please suggest a remedy. Thanks.
Sinusitis or sinus infections can be quite a debilitating ailment when it becomes recurrent. Sinuses are cavities within our head just behind the nose which extends up to our forehead and to certain areas of the cheeks. These cavities are filled with a mucosal lining which helps you breathe and also filters the air which goes to the lungs. When the mucosal lining gets inflamed, it blocks the normal drainage of the mucus into the nose. This results in headaches, nasal polyps and general discomfort. Homeopathy offers some great remedies for this condition, without side effects. Some of these are discussed below.
Homeopathic remedies for sinus problems
- Belladonna: This medication is very effective when the sinusitis has resulted in a suppressed discharge from the nose which occurs intermittently. If you have a splitting headache which feels unbearable, Belladonna can help relieve the symptoms quickly. If the infection of the sinus has spread to the throat and results in cough, Belladonna can be equally effective in those circumstances as well.
- Pulsatilla: If you are experiencing a greenish mucosal discharge from your nose without a painful burning sensation within it, Pulsatilla can be a very effective cure. Another indication where this medication is very effective is when you have headaches centered just above your eyes rather than over the forehead or other parts of your face.
- Kali Bichrome: This is another commonly prescribed medication to deal with the symptoms of sinusitis as well as to reduce inflammation and cure sinusitis altogether. If you have a lot of mucosal discharge that drops into your throat along with discharges through the nose, Kali Bichrome is the drug to go to. Other indications where it is effective are pain and heaviness in the nose and the inability to breathe with headaches in and around the eyes.
- Silicea: If you are feeling cold and constantly chilly along with nasal stuffiness, Silicea is the medication to go to. Along with discharges, your nose may form hard mucous crusts within it. Trying to manually remove these crusts may also cause bleeding. Silicea will reduce these symptoms and is also effective in reducing a headache which occurs mostly on the left side of your face.
- Merc Sol: If you are experiencing a yellowish green discharge from the nose along with a burning sensation and increased saliva secretion in your mouth, Merc Sol is the remedy to turn to. It is also effective wherein the headache has spread all around the head.
What is a Nasal Polyp?
If you have chronic obstruction of the nose, nasal voice, frequent sneezing, you could be having nasal polyps. It is worthwhile to understand that a nasal polyp is non-cancerous. It is a teardrop-shaped growth in the nasal cavity. At times, it forms in the sinuses or at the opening of the sinus into the nasal cavities. The polyp almost looks like a grape that has been peeled.
Allergies can cause a person a whole lot of trouble, to say the very least. Also, among the many things allergies can trigger such as hives and swellings which are coupled with irritation, nasal polyps are one of the many!
The symptoms of having nasal polyps include lacking a normal ability to smell as well as a person feeling that the nose is constantly dripping mucous, not a nice situation to have, at all! A person tends to have nasal polyps when there is an inflammation of the nose's lining. While there may be a number of reasons as to why exactly this takes place, homeopathic treatment has a very comprehensive answer for nasal polyps!
If the polyps are not treated by normal medicine, a person who has them would normally face the prospect of having to undergo surgery to get them removed. However, this is not the case at all, if homeopathy medicine is used to provide an answer to the issue.
The important thing about homeopathic medicine's treatment of nasal polyps is the fact that a person is not only treated for the polyps which are causing trouble to him or her but also for the initial condition which resulted in the polyps forming in the first place. Is this not a better solution? The conditions are likely to be sinusitis, asthma, among other ones.
When a case of having nasal polyps is being treated, the medicines which are most likely to be prescribed by a doctor are known by the names of Teucrium and Sanguinaria. When a person has lost any semblance of smell due to nasal polyps, the medicine to be made use of is likely to be Teucrium. On the other hand, when a person seems to keep falling ill due to catching colds quite often, then a medicine such as Sanguinaria should address this and the patient will be free from the irritation caused by polyps in the nose. After all, the freedom from polyps is really not valued until they are alive and well and are causing a lot of trouble for the person who has the misfortune of having them!
While such medication should only be taken as per the directives of a medical professional who is qualified in the field of homeopathy, it does do a person any harm to know of the medicines, in any case. After all, they may be the reasons why a person can retain peace of mind!

The ear is made up of three parts that is outer, middle and the inner part. Infections, disorders and ailments in the ear can occur across all age groups and in any part of the ear. Ear ailments are more common in children than in adults as the Eustachian tubes (tubes which drain out ear fluid) are smaller in children.
Here are a few common ailments which occur in children:
- Acute otitis media: AOM is the most common ear infection in children. Some parts of the middle ear are infected, resulting in swelling and blockage of fluid behind the eardrum. This condition is characterised by earache in children and in graver conditions, can also cause fever.
- Otitis media with effusion: This condition usually occurs due to the infestation of an infection when the fluid gets restricted behind the ear drum. This condition doesn't exhibit too many symptoms except mild earache. You should visit an ENT specialist who can diagnose this condition by checking the concentration of fluid behind the eardrum using special instruments.
- Chronic otitis media with effusion: This condition occurs in children when the fluid remains trapped behind the eardrum for a long period of time. It can lead to serious infection and cause problems in hearing in children.
- Barotrauma: Barotrauma occurs due to changes in atmospheric pressure changes. It can cause problems in the Eustachian tube and causes trapping of air in the middle ear. Middle ear problems can become severe if left untreated and result in a burst in the eardrum, causing excessive bleeding.
- Meniere's disease: This is a disorder, which comes in bouts and is characterised by vertigo and fluctuating hearing loss. This condition usually affects one ear. It can result in tinnitus (ringing in the ear) or permanent loss of hearing if left untreated.
- Swimmer's ear: Swimmer's ear, also known as otitis externa, is a common condition which is caused in the outer area of the ear. This condition is caused due to remnants of chlorine water in the ear or because of inserting swabs too deep inside the canal. This condition is characterised by earache, discomfort and itching of the ear.

My favorite scrub out there. It has thick consistency, somewhat like very very thick gel, yet it contains oils which do not separate like with most sugar/salt oil scrubs. The smell of this product is divine and I never get bored with it taking shower every day, it makes you want to go and take shower. The scrub has crushed cocoa beans and sugar and these two abrasives proved to be really effective, skin is really smooth, soft and fragrant after usage. The jar is attractive and looks great in the bathroom too. Please click "yes" if this information was helpful. See other product reviews on my personal page.

I love this. Smells like chocolate cookie dough. Sugar is coarse and feels great. Skin silky smooth afterwards. Will be buying again!
not too good
Posted by 4732527712217425044 on Aug 15, 2013
the scrub is not that gentle and make me feel very painful when use, and smells chemical
Awesome! But expensive compared to amount of product
Posted by odalol on Aug 25, 2013
Wow - this scrub actually feels warming on the skin somehow. It's sugar based and smells like delicious chocolate. It's quite oily, but exfoliates well and leaves your skin silky and smooth. But - the jar is too bulky and the price is too high compared to the small amount of product you get. The jar basically has one inch of space around the contents, which I don't perceive as eco friendly, just annoying.
Cacao scent!

The last time I tried the Giovanni shampoo, I was so put off as it was terrible. Thought I'd never buy another Giovanni product again but finally caved in after reading so many good reviews. Really like this scrub for its wonderful smell and its effectiveness. Leaves the skin very smooth and its amazing how it feels so warm when it scrubs against the skin. Just ordered my 2nd jar.
Not for me
Posted by Reviewer2871080 on Nov 17, 2011
Didn't really like it. The beads were too harsh for my sensitive skin and the smell is way too sweet for me.
