2 IU Health patients die of Legionnaire's Disease
Indiana University Health says two patients have died at the network's University Hospital after contracting the bacteria that cause Legionnaires' disease.
IU Health officials said Tuesday the patients died within the past month from pneumonia caused by the Legionella bacteria. Both had conditions that compromised their immune systems.
Medical director of infection control Dr. Douglas Webb says it's not known if the patients were infected in the hospital located at Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis in downtown Indianapolis.
"We see this as a cause of concern and further investigation and are undergoing testing to determine whether these cases were acquired within the hospital. There is no reason to believe that any other patients, visitors or team members are at risk," Webb said.
In a statement to Eyewitness News, Webb explained the limited risk of being harmed by Legionella.
"Legionella are very common, naturally occurring bacteria that live in soil and water. People typically contract the bacteria by breathing in contaminated water droplets, such as shower mist. Estimates suggest that Legionella bacteria acquired within the community are responsible for 1 to 5 percent of pneumonia hospitalizations. Healthy people exposed to Legionella rarely become sick. Those with weakened immune systems or underlying lung disease are most at risk. Legionella cannot be passed from person to person," he wrote.

I hear you, but they are now two separate companies, apparently each with their own submission.
I hear you, but they are now two separate companies, apparently each with their own submission.
The US Army did not prohibit any singel vendor from submitting more than one proposal contrary to what we initially heard. Direct from PM-SW they said it was okay but they were trying to limit the number of proposals to have to eval and test.
It is generally believed across the industry that an improved M4-style weapon has the best chances of winning here as that is what the Army is asking for. There are NO points for caliber or weapon modularity so the ARX-160 and FN SCAR Universal Receiver have no real advantage and infact their unique controls would be a detractor in the eval by troops trained on M4's and M16's.
Most within industry also feel that the ongoing US Army M4 PIP program and M4 recompete for 70K-100K more M4's/M4A1's will also adversely affect chances of an IC fielding success. With no increase in down range performance beyond that of the standard 5.56mm NATO M4, it is a "predictable failure" at best, the 4th (5th if you include SCAR L) since the XM8 program in the early 2000's. Your tax dolalrs at work to the tune of @ $40M JUST for the IC testing and downselect.

Patti and Steve's Wedding
"Masons and anyone interested in architecture will LOVE this building. Free tours are available and it's well worth it!!"
Eva and Scott's Wedding
"The perfect place to have a wedding! The main appeal was having the ceremony and reception in one building. Of course we missed out on the tradition of leaving the church with everyone watching, but this can definitely still be accomplished if this is something you still want to do. Ashley was so easy to work with and made it almost effortless for me! She knew all the questions to ask and took care of everything on the big day."
David and Lydia's Wedding
"This is a Masonic Temple and one of the most beautiful buildings in Indy. Dave and I would have LOVED to get married here, but it was way too pricey. They give free tours and the inside is just as amazing as the outside!"

Jason Taylor, a former volunteer at Zion Wildlife Gardens, pays tribute to his friend and ex-colleague Dalu Mncube
At the end of 2007, before leaving Zion Wildlife Gardens after two years of service as a volunteer, I twice advised Dalu, who had been with us for about a year, to hurry up and apply for a job as a big-cat handler on Australia's Gold Coast.
It was nothing personal against the owners, the Busch's, but I just felt deep down that Dalu would thrive in the "professional" environment and his fellow workers and public alike would absolutely adore him.
I can still vividly remember him telling me he'd come to New Zealand because at the Rhino and Lion Nature Reserve in South Africa he was only involved in the cubs' creche. What he really wanted to do was to be involved with the big cats' whole life process. That's exactly what Craig had offered him when he visited South Africa. Dalu gladly took it with both hands.
Dalu initially lived alone onsite at Zion in a shabby 15sq m cottage, a stone's throw away from Abu, the royal white male tiger who was as big as your average three-seater couch.
The first room you walked into in Dalu's cottage was the kitchen/living room with a sink, fridge, small table and chairs. His other room was a tiny bedroom - more a bed than a room.
At certain times during the year, on the floor of this cottage, many a still-blind young cub, would crawl around crying for milk.
The life of a TV big-cat handler like Dalu, in a small family-run team, is not as glamorous as it first sounds. You basically have to do everything your local farmer does - get up at all hours, kill, blood and chop up old livestock, move heavy loads and collect barrow loads of animal dung.
Because it's been much publicised, you won't be surprised to know that at this particular time Zion was worse than Coronation Street.
Craig's relationship with his mum was pretty fractured. All this ongoing drama meant that apart from the odd helping hand, the 24/7 management of chores that kept the big cats happy, was pretty much left to Dalu.
Most days Dalu would go about his business, going into enclosures, putting his life on the line for the Busch family and in my humble opinion, neither being fully appreciated nor probably paid much more than your average shoe salesman.
But, here's the strange thing. Despite all this, and even considering he had little time for his beloved golf, Dalu seemed to be a happy chappy.
Here he was, a "20-something"-year-old man basically in charge of his own lion and tiger park.
He had raised several of the cats himself from infanthood, particularly those in the white lion pride which came to Zion from his old park in South Africa. He connected with them as if they were his own children.
The only way he was ever going to be separated from them was if you dragged him out in a wooden box.
And so, sadly, a few days ago that's exactly what happened.
But, from my humble and limited experience, it could and should have been easily avoided.
So, although I admire and respect Craig's ability to build a business and create from scratch a "safe haven for endangered big cats", and although I love and appreciate Patricia's friendship, kindness towards me and her deep spirituality, I'm angry at them. Very angry!
I feel sorry for Dalu's partner, Sharon. But even more than that I feel for his mum and dad back in Africa. After all, their boy was only young. They trusted Zion to take care of him. And he died in a foreign country. A country that (to my knowledge) they are yet to visit.
I hope that Zion and those gorgeous big cats are in the future managed by someone else and I hope all the Zion cats get to live out their days. To hear that they may be destroyed would be an absolute tragedy. This is Dalu's family we're talking about here. It would be the last thing he'd want.

Panaji, Jan 18 (PTI) Goa Water Resources Minister FilipeNeri Rodrigues today said the state will have to study theprofiles of each of Tillari dam affected people beforeassuring them government jobs.
Rodrigues who met his Maharashtra counterpart SunilTatkare on Monday here said that Goa is ready to honourthe commitment given during the inception of Tillariirrigation development project.
"We are ready to give government jobs provided thecandidates fit the proper criteria. I will have to discusswith the Chief Minister and government needs to formmodalities," Rodrigues said.
The dam is constructed in northern part of Goa which hasaffected several villages from Maharashtra''s Sindhudurgdistrict.
Maharashtra''s demand stems from the agreement signedbetween both the states in 1990 which gave Goa 73 per centwater share from the dam project on Tillari river in the Northdistrict.
The neighbouring state has recalled that while having theprerogative of larger water share, Goa was also supposed tohave 73 per cent cost sharing and bore the liability ofproviding employment to the Project Affected People (PAP) asper the 1976 Rehabilitation Act of Maharashtra.
Rodrigues said there is a clause which speaks ofemployment to PAPs but "we need to see what kind of employmentcould be provided to them."
The minister said that since Goa never took any bigrehabilitation project, the state does not have a policy topay one time settlement for PAPs. .
A total of 11 villages with 1,236 families and 5,476 population was affected due to the project, which is aimed ateasing the drinking and irrigation water shortage of Goa.
Tatkare had told reporters here that 869 families werecertified to be PAP of which Maharashtra government hasprovided government employment to 204 people.
The project with 16 TMC dam is estimated to be of Rs1,612 crore of which Rs 875 crore has to be borne by Goagovernment.
to Rafi
Nagpur, Jan 18 (PTI) A city singer who recently set a newrecord of 93.20 hours marathon singing here is a die hard fanof legendry singer Mohammad Rafi and was so mad on learningthe demise of Rafi that he decided to attend the funeral.
As young boy, he had no source of income and had big dreamsin his eyes.He was at a public drinking water tab when heheard the sudden death of Rafi.He immediately threw water fromhis brass container and instead of fetching it went home andcollected another empty.
He went to a scap dealer and sold both vessels for Rs 60which was sufficent for him to catch a train to reachMumbai.His family members were puzzled by the action and hislove for singing and also for the late singer.This is asaga of Sunil Waghmare who has turned a professional singerand sings onlyRafi numbers.
The passion for singing and his love for Rafi gave himstrength to attempt the marathon singing.
According to Dr Anill Bajaj, the noted physician who ledthe team of doctors who monitored his health throughout thesinging, Waghmare was actually prepared for the singing.He didsome yoga practice and since enjoyed normal health,.hewas allowed to attempt.
His all vital oragans functioned normal and blood pressureremained normal.He was allowed to take break of five minutesand doctors gave him nutritions and lime water withhoney.Doctors were more anxious of his vocal cords and effecton lungs for continuous singing.He took a quick shower toremain fresh and water used to sprinkle on his face time andagain to keep him awake.
Waghmare was given fruits, dry fruits, strong coffee,ginger tea, clove and steam inhalation to keep him fit and hisvoice consistent.Soya milk also helpedhis remain fit, Dr Bajaj said.
Waghmare says he set new record to demand Bharat Ratna forlate Mohammad Rafi.The necessary video records have been sentto the Guiness Book of Records for their approval, Waghmareand Bajaj added.

Spotted this on the History channel this week, so I decided to break out my DVD collection of this HBO mini-series.
If you've never seen this, you should not miss it.
It makes me proud to be an American and grateful to those brave men who served in WWII, and to all our servicemen before and since then.
I think this should be part of the history curriculum in our high schools.
It is a excellent series i rewatched it around july 4th
Great movie...first saw it on DVD...in 2003...in a tent...in Kuwait, getting ready to cross the berm into Iraq...talk about motivation and inspiration.
Thats one series I'll have to make a purchase on in the future !
I have the DVD boxset and I love it. As good or better than Saving Private Ryan. The book by Stephen Ambrose is a great read as well.
Why Ike, whatever do you mean? Maybe poker's just not your game Ike. I know! Let's have a spelling contest!
I agree. A superb show. Many scenes bring a tear to my eye and others bring a sense of pride. Well worth the time investment.
eschew obfuscation
The only thing that stops bad guys with guns is good guys with guns. SgtD
Awesome series! I have the DVD set, as well as a copy of Ambrose's book.
I also highly recommend Beyond Band Of Brothers, The War Memoirs Of Major Dick Winters reviewed here: http://www.combatcarry.com/vbulletin...ead.php?t=8547
Another book highly recommended is Biggest Brother, The Life Of Major Dick Winters by Larry Alexander.
When youre wounded and left on Afghanistans plains,
And the women come out to cut up what remains,
Just roll to your rifle and blow out your brains,
And go to your God like a soldier.
Rudyard Kipling
+1 on Band of Brothers! I should buy the boxed set on DVD, because every time the History Channel rebroadcasts it, I start filling up the DVR. Favorite line: "We're Airborne. We're supposed to be surrounded."

Band of Brothers is classical material about an honored unit of the U.S. Army.
A must see movie.

The #WarOnWomen hashtag is back. It comes amid the continued fall-out from controversial remarks made by GOP Missouri Senate contender Todd Akin on Sunday. For three consecutive days, the public has tweeted their reaction directly to @ToddAkin after he claimed 'legitimate rape' does not cause pregnancy. Akin issued an apology on Sunday, saying he "misspoke", and followed up again today with a TV ad asking voters for "forgiveness".
Women voters, according to opinion polls, are a key cohort that Obama or Romney must win on November. For months, the #WarOnWomen versus #WarOnMoms has raged on Twitter as Democrats accused Republicans of "anti-women" policies in the areas of abortion, contraception, healthcare and family planning. But the Republicans hit back with their own hashtag #WarOnMoms when one Democratic adviser questioned Ann Romney's (wife of GOP contender Mitt Romney) decision to become a stay-at-home mother. With women-related issues back in the headlines due to the Akin controversy, the Obama campaign tweeted the following:
There's a clear choice for women in this election: http://t.co/s6HfwQnf
Akin caused outrage with his comments that 'legitimate rape' does not cause pregnancy. Akin questioned whether women can become pregnant when they're raped in an interview with St. Louis television station KTVI, released on Sunday. He claimed pregnancy from rape was "really rare." Akin's said his understanding was that a woman's body "has ways to shut that whole thing down" after rape:
Source: americanbridge21st Embed Code
Akin took to Twitter on Sunday to apologize:
"To be clear, all of us understand that rape can result in pregnancy & I have great empathy for all victims. I regret misspeaking."- Todd
Following days of speculation that he would have to withdraw from the Senate race, Akin pledged to continue his campaign on Tuesday:
I am in this race to win. We need a conservative Senate. Help me defeat Claire by donating: https://secure.campaignsolutions.com/toddakin/donation1/?initiativekey=EVC5SEAB56RX #mosen
All of which led to the observation that #WarOnWomen is back:
Welcome back, War on Women. You never left us.
President Barack Obama held his first news conference in approximately two months on Monday, and addressed the Akin remarks. "What I think [Akin's] comments do underscore is that we shouldn't have a bunch of politicians, the majority of whom are men, making healthcare decisions on behalf of women," said Obama.
Source: whitehouse Embed Code
More controversy followed when Akin failed to show for a scheduled interview on CNN on Tuesday:
No show Akin on @PiersMorgan - empty chair on tv as Piers calls @ToddAkin a "gutless little twerp."
If you're wondering how it came about that @piersmorgan welcomed an empty chair tonight, this will help: http://on.cnn.com/RxLrCm #CNN
The debate has raged on with Romney claiming Akins' comments were "inexcusable", and some Republicans such as Scott Brown claiming Akin should quit the race. Former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee caused further controversy when he discussed the controversy on his radio programme on Tuesday. This is he said, as transcribed by the Los Angeles Times' James Rainey:
"Ethel Waters, for example, was the result of a forcible rape," Huckabee said of the late American gospel singer. One-time presidential candidate Huckabee added: "I used to work for James Robison back in the 1970s, he leads a large Christian organization. He, himself, was the result of a forcible rape. And so I know it happens, and yet even from those horrible, horrible tragedies of rape, which are inexcusable and indefensible, life has come and sometimes, you know, those people are able to do extraordinary things."
Source: LaTimes
Some observers have tried to tease out the whole notion of a "war on women":
Let us be clear: There is not, never was, & never will be a GOP or conservative war on women. There is a liberal war vs. conservative women
But one actor sees it as a defining election issue:
Ladies, there ia a #WarOnWomen going on and I'm coming strapped with my vote this Nov. Are you? #Obama2012


text: We've bought an 1850 colonial farmhouse in need of cosmetic help. This is also our first home. We've spoke with neighbors who insist that the previous, previous owner claimed it was part of the underground railroad. . . there is also 4 concrete/cement slabs in the yard that have a wire coming out of it(with the wire coming out of it I'm a little hesitant to open it up), what could this possibly be? Any ideas on how I could find the history of this house, its obviously not in its original condition but before we side the house I'd like to find out if I should be preserving it, thanks for your help.

The cake batter is a quick mixture of the usual suspects…flour, eggs, a little vegetable oil, sugar, baking powder…and it's going to mix up into a nice light yellow cake batter that is just the right amount of sweet…in other words, just enough to let the flavor of the berries shine on through.
Then you are going to stir in a couple cups of the berries, pour the whole thing into a baking dish, and then sprinkle it with the rest of the berries and a generous handful of cinnamon sugar. Bake it all up until it turns into a lightly golden blueberry-laden pan of deliciousness.
As for the title – legend has it that this recipe first appeared as one of the 1954 winners of the Pillsbury Bake-Off contest. It was created by a teenage girl who said that whenever she wanted to attract some teenage boy admirers, all she had to do was whip up this cake. My version uses a little more blueberries, a little less sugar, a mix of brown sugar and white sugar and swaps in canola oil for the shortening…so would it still work? Shortly after it came out of the oven, look who appeared in my kitchen:
Southern Husband Bait, anyone?
- 2 cups flour
- ½ cup white sugar
- ½ cup brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ⅔ cup canola oil
- 1 cup whole milk
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 3 cups blueberries
- 1 tablespoon flour
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon mixed with ¼ cup white sugar
- Preheat oven to 350. Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
- Combine flour, sugars, baking powder and salt in a large bowl and whisk together until combined.
- Add oil, milk and eggs to the flour and stir until well combined.
- Gently toss two cups of the blueberries with one tablespoon of flour, then stir the blueberries into the batter and spread the batter in the prepared pan.
- Sprinkle the remaining one cup of blueberries on the top of the batter, then sprinkle with the cinnamon sugar.
- Bake for 45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool in the pan, then cut into squares and serve.

Date of Stay: September, 2010
I was very impressed with this campground. For years we always drove past and wondered why anyone would want to camp under a highway. Well, we decided to try it out over Labor Day weekend. We had plans to stay at Garner State Park through Labor Day but we were getting tired of the crowd at the park and decided to leave early and head to New Braunfels. I called River Ranch to see if they had any sites and to my surprise they did. We arrived and were warmly greeted by the staff/owners. I asked jokingly if we could have their best site and they told me that it just became available. We got the corner waterfront site that had a beautiful view of the Guadalupe River and bridge. The water was no more than 10 feet from our trailer door. We couldn't have asked for a better site. The park was immaculate. There was a park attendant driving around in a golf cart keeping all of the sites tidy. I was even impressed how he would wipe down each picnic table as people would leave their site. All of the sites were level and concrete and were in excellent shape. Each site had its own little patch of manicured grass with a picnic table. There really isn't much shade unless you are in one of the water front sites. In the late afternoon, one of the bridges does offer shade for most of the park. The highway noise really didn't bother us either. It's a whole lot better than the sound of trains that rumble through other parts of town all day and night. Check out their website and look at the pictures of the park that way you know what to expect when you get there. One note of caution about this park, since it lies on the Guadalupe River, it is prone to flooding during heavy rains. Keep an eye on the weather during your stay. We didn't watch the news in several days and had no idea about tropical storm Hermine which was barreling its way up to us. Luckily the park owners keep a close watch on weather and alerted us to the possibility of flooding along the river. We heeded their warning and moved our trailer to a site on higher ground. We headed back home on Tuesday just as the storm rolled in. We will definitely be back next season, hopefully with better weather.
Date of Stay: August, 2010
This is a huge park. It is within Dallas County and is very convenient to both Dallas, Arlington, Grand Prairie, and Ft. Worth. Most sites are shaded and have covered picnic tables on a slab. One of the camping loops has been re-paved and is very nice. There are some nice lake-front sites although they are very hard to get since it is first come first served. Try to get there when the office opens on an Thursday or Friday morning to get a waterfront site for the weekend. Since this is one of the busiest parks in Texas, the lines can get very long in the peak season so be prepared to wait at least 30 minutes if you get there after 5 PM on a Friday. There are several kiosks but the check-in process is very slow. The shower/restrooms facilities are plentiful in each loop and are usually well maintained/clean. Watch out for scorpions in the summer as well as chiggers. Both are abundant at this park.
Date of Stay: July, 2010
This park is one of my favorites. It is in the East Texas Pineywoods region about 15 miles east of Marshall, TX. This park is completely covered by the canopy of the towering pine trees. The park is pretty small but most sites are spread out nicely with vegetation separating them. Some of the sites can be tricky to back into since the main road is very narrow through the trees. There are no waterfront RV sites but there are a few tent sites although once you see the swampy surroundings you may not want to be that close to the water. The shower/restroom is clean but very old and small. The main walking trail in the woods is a nice hike and can get steep in some places. The best part of the park is the view from the lighted fishing pier overlooking Mill Pond. The bald cypress and lily pads are stunning. Rent a kayak or canoe and paddle around the area to experience more of the lake's beauty. A fun excursion from Caddo Lake State Park is to drive 5 mile to Uncertain, TX, have a quick breakfast at Crip's Camp and rent a Jon Boat. The motor boat is the best way to see the many sloughs and bayous of the lake. Make sure to get a map of the lake and follow the water markers so you don't get lost.

It's A Gradual Graduation
I first saw The Graduate when I was about 17. I remember that I liked it, thought it was artistic and visually stunning, and I understood the general idea behind some of the symbolism. I saw it again a few years later, when I was the age of the main character, Benjamin Braddock, a 21-year-old just out of college, flawlessly portrayed by the 30-year-old Dustin Hoffman. I "got it" more then, being closer to the lost Benjamin than I had been at 17. I saw The Graduate several more times over the years. I gotta tell you, though, it wasn't until I saw it this year, at age 40, that I really saw into the soul of director Mike Nichols' masterpiece. Now that I understood that only retrospection leads to true introspection, and that Benjamin Braddock is more a fool than an Everyman. Benjamin's search for self leads not to realization, but to abandonment of self. The film ends with loose ends and mistakes cleverly disguised as a riding-into-the-sunset ending. It is only now that I really get it. The Inwood Theatre, 5458 W. Lovers Lane at Inwood, screens The Graduate Friday and Saturday at midnight.

Paper Says Snowden Has Thousands More Sensitive Docs
RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) — The Guardian newspaper columnist who first reported on Edward Snowden's intelligence leaks says the former contractor has thousands of highly sensitive documents on how the National Security Agency is structured and operates. Glenn Greenwald tells The Associated Press the information would allow someone who read them to evade or replicate surveillance. Greenwald says Snowden has insisted the documents not be published because the information could harm the U.S. government.

There's no secret that my house has a sweet tooth–the entire family does!
We found this delicious peanut butter cookie recipe and even though not everyone in the family is gluten free, it's everyone's favorite! The only thing that could make it better was… you guessed it–M&Ms.
We have a tradition of making peanut butter cookies for a friend every year on his birthday. This year we decided to try a flourless cookie recipe with some added Plain M&Ms. We grabbed all of the ingredients except for the peanut butter at our new Walmart. The boys went a little crazy over all of the different types of M&Ms that were there:
Gluten Free Peanut Butter M&Ms Cookies
You'll need:
1C sugar (I mix white and brown, 1/2C each)
1 egg
1tsp baking soda
1 1/2C plain M&Ms, divided into 1C and 1/2C portions
Let's make some cookies!
1. Add all ingredients except M&Ms together in a large bowl.
2. Grab a few M&Ms from the 1C bowl, eat them.
3. Mix ingredients using a stand mixer or by hand.
4. Repeat step 2.
5. Add the 1/2C bowl of M&Ms to the mixture and mix by hand (so they don't break in the stand mixer). The batter will look like this, and that's ok:
6. Repeat step 2.
7. Using a spoon, take a scoop mixture and then use your hands to roll it into a tight ball. Place on a cookie sheet. I use a stone, so that's what you see here.
8. Bake at 350* for 8-10 minutes. It's a little tricky to see these cookies getting browned in the oven because of their color. Just keep an extra eye on them. This is what mine looked like when they were done:
Repeat step 2. Repeat step 2. Repeat step 2.
When you remove the cookies from the oven, let them sit for 10-15 minutes so they cool and form together a little more.
You can find other fun M&Ms recipes at BrightIdeas.com, and you find find a coupon here.
Right now there is a fun Baking is Better with M Pinterest Sweepstakes going on for M&M's! Pin for a chance to win one of three $250 Walmart gift cards! It's as easy as submitting your email and pinning an image. Simply complete the following steps:

Asbestos cannot be positively identified without microscopic analysis by a qualified laboratory technician. However, the trained naked eye can spot materials on the surface of, or in soil that have a high probability of being asbestos.
Generally speaking, asbestos manufacturing waste buried in the Nashua / Hudson area exists in the following forms:
- "Baghouse" (dust collector) waste
- Dewatered sludge; and
- Pellets;
- "Plate waste" (sheet scraps/fragments);
- Rolled sheets;
- Spheres; [.jpg]
- Whole sheets;
The waste comes in a variety of colors, including gray, white, black, green, and red. After being in the soil for many years, it has a tendency to blend with its surroundings and may be hard to distinguish from the natural soils. This is particularly true of "baghouse" waste, which is a fine, dust like material.
However, the naked eye, trained by experience, can often detect the presence of asbestos manufacturing waste by also studying the physical characteristics of a site, including the vegetation and terrain. Based on experience, sites with the following features may contain buried asbestos waste:
- Topographic features indicating that the site has been filled;
- Debris, typically in the form of pellets, spheres and/or plate waste, located on or near the surface of the ground, or protruding from steep banks or extending into surface waters and wetlands;
- Scant vegetation and/or vegetation consisting of moss, sumac trees, poison ivy, and/or pricker bushes;
- Hummocks along a forest floor, often in a grid like or symmetrical pattern; and
- Refuse/solid waste items, such as glass bottles, cans and other household items.

Decorative Accents
When it comes to making your holidays truly memorable, it's the thoughtful details that count. The simple addition of a fragrant wreath to your front door or a garland with lights twinkling down the banister helps create a festive atmosphere. With an abundance of wreath and garland options to choose from, start by asking yourself a few simple questions to narrow down your choices:
Wreath and Garland Types
Celebrating the holidays with a wreath or garland is a long-established custom in countries all across the globe. Traditionally, these items have been made from the fragrant branches of an evergreen, but now you can choose between fresh foliage and a variety of artificial models. Each type has its merits, and the one that's right for you depends on your decorating preferences.
Those looking for something more distinct may want to consider a designer model made from such items as beads, glass, feathers, silk flowers or other unique materials. Keep in mind that wreaths and garlands naturally complement one another and can be used together to achieve beautiful results.
Planning and Placement
Before you begin a holiday decorating project, take a few minutes to think about your objectives. Are you aiming for a more traditional look, do you have a particular theme in mind or do you prefer an eclectic mix of styles? Next, take an inventory of locations that are ideally suited to the display of a wreath or garland.
Choice spots for wreaths include your front door, prominent walls both indoors and out, above your fireplace or any other space that could use a cheerful accent. Garlands can be hung along balcony railings, placed around door frames, draped across mantels, wrapped around pillars or strung along stairway banisters. Once you've selected a location, you'll need to consider size and decide between fresh or artificial foliage.
Like artificial trees, garlands and wreaths that imitate the look of real foliage offer all the beauty of fresh branches with very little care and maintenance. They're also reusable, so you can enjoy them year after year.
Artificial wreaths and garlands are available in pre-lit configurations, including mini, micro mini, LED and globe light options. Some models come with added embellishments, such as flocked or frosted needles, bows, ribbon, pinecones, berries, silk flowers and other holiday-themed decorations. These pre-decorated wreaths and garlands come in an array of styles, making it easy to find one that matches your décor. Designer garlands and wreaths made from such diverse materials as acrylic, glass, beads and other items offer a more contemporary look.
Fresh-cut wreaths and garland are a popular choice when it comes to creating a fragrant and festive holiday atmosphere. They're typically constructed from the branches of trees known for their pleasant aroma and excellent needle retention, such as the Balsam and Noble Firs. These, however, are not your only choices. Cedar, pine, spruce and other species are also good options (availability will vary by region).
Fresh-cut garlands and wreaths tend to be more traditional in style, usually coming either plain or with a simple bow. More elaborately decorated options can be found, though many people prefer to add their own ornaments and accents. Fresh-cut branches will last a long time when placed outdoors. If you wish to use them indoors, simply mist the wreath or garland with water from time to time to help them retain moisture and prevent premature loss of needles.
|Decorative Options
|Ideal Applications
|Fresh Cut
|Made from the branches of real trees and selected for their fragrance and durability
|Imitates the look of a fresh-cut wreath or garland while offering multiple seasons of use
|Created in the shape of a wreath or garland with nontraditional materials for a unique, distinctive look
When it comes to displaying holiday wreaths or garland, there are a number of helpful devices designed to make installation simple and hassle-free. Choose functional holders that work invisibly behind the scenes or more ornate pieces designed to become a part of your holiday decorations.
Hangers and hooks constructed from brass, nickel-plated metal and other durable materials hold wreaths securely in place while providing a stylish accent. Ties and grabbers allow you to attach garland to a variety of surfaces with a firm, solid grip and can be hidden discreetly within the natural foliage.
Simply dust off your artificial garland and place it in a plastic container or bin for protected storage. Larger items such as oversized wreaths will benefit from being placed in specially designed storage bags that keep dusts, insects and other hazards out.
Underwriters Laboratory (UL) is an independent testing agency that verifies lights are safe for use under designated conditions. For pre-lit wreaths and garland, look for the UL listing to ensure safety.
Special tubs, totes and storage bins designed to hold your holiday decorations help protect and preserve your items for use year after year.
Holiday decorating around a theme is a popular choice. Look for wreaths and garland that incorporate your favourite theme, such as a particular colour scheme, decorating style or even special collectible items.

Lady Gaga: Makeup-Free and Fabulous
An avid fan of outrageous fashion and flamboyant frocks, Lady Gaga decided to switch things up a bit on Instagram on Thursday (June 5).
The "Just Dance" songstress took a selfie in bed without a pinch of makeup and her natural complexion is even more gorgeous than her made-up persona.
Gaga posted the shot to her social media account along with the caption, "Day off sleepy girl," as she's currently on a break from promoting her ARTPOP album.
Earlier, Mother Monster shared a picture of her French Bulldog named Asia. Gaga captioned the post, "Me and my piggy go sleepy, she likes a mask too hers says 'ten more minutes.'"

"Bachelorette" Ali Fedotowsky Talks Choosing Roberto
She weeded through twenty-five men to find the man of her dreams, and Ali Fedotowsky couldn't be happier with her new beau Roberto Martinez.
During last night's season finale of "The Bachelorette," the 25-year-old former Facebook employee made her choice. "They're both great guys," she said, referring to Roberto and his competitor Chris Lambton. "But I need to pick who's right for me."
And that's just what she did- rather than taking Chris on his final date, Ali explained, "I'm in love with somebody else. I have to let you go here and not wait till tomorrow."
The next day Miss Fedotowsky declared, "I'm one-hundred percent certain with all of my heart that Roberto is the man for me. I can only hope that he feels the same way."
As it turns out, Roberto definitely reciprocated Ali's feelings. He told her, "You told me how important it was for your husband to love you unconditionally and to always be by your side no matter what. I want to be that man for you. I want to make you laugh. I want to make you smile. I want to make sure you wake up every morning for the rest of your life knowing that you are so, so loved. I want to grow old with you. I want to share my life my life with you. Share my life with me?"
Finally he asked her, "Ali Fedotowsky, will you marry me?" And Ali responded, "Oh my gosh! Yes! Yes!"

I think you're logic is so flawed I don't know where to start.<quoted text>
No, my logic is, I fail to see why I should have a lower standard of healthcare just so someone can have better healthcare. My logic is that my healthcare is not less important than someone elses healthcare and they have a lot of nerve if they want me to be worse off, just so they can be better off, without lifting a finger.
I also think the government should focus on making healthcare more affordable, rather than simply taking money from some and giving it to others to buy it for them, which is nothing more than cost shifting. If the government took all your assets and gave them to me so that I could buy a Ferrari, that still doesnt make the Ferrari and affordable car or as affordable as say a Ford. Calling that act the Affordable Care Act is actually a misnomer. It does almost nothing to make healthcare more affordable at a national level. It simply shifts costs. If they put 10% of the effort into fixing a system that has us pay way more for pharmaceutical drugs than folks do in other nations for the same drugs, as they did into enacting that the ACA, that alone would have saved everyone a ton of money and everyone would have been commending Obama and the democrats.
My logic is also if you set yourself up to be a walmart greeter or a cashier and expect to be paid like a highly skilled worker and expect to receive benefits commensurate with a highly skilled worker, such as an engineer, tradesman, or college graduate, you are quite foolish and you really only have yourself to blame when you find out that walmart greeters and cashiers dont command that level of salary and benefits. Id also ask what rock you had been living under for the 18 years before you became an adult, when you should have been thinking about your future. If you thought you could raise a family in that line of work, Id say you are downright delusional, should not have had any children, and were irresponsible if you did. Why do folks feel they can have kids they cant afford and expect society to pay for what is really their responsibility? Isnt that irresponsible? Am I missing something?
I also think there are two types of people those who look within when they want to improve their life and those who look at others and expect others to give them stuff when they want to improve their life. While there are no hard and fast rules (hence Im not talking about anyone or everyone as you understood) and sometimes bad things happen to good people (thats the minority, however the vast minority the vast majority who find themselves in need of continuous need of government support mindlessly go through life not thinking about their future or putting in the effort to set themselves up for a good future theyve abrogated that responsibility), its this dichotomy of thought process that largely explains why some people achieve and others do not.
We need more achievers in our society and less takers. By rewarding takers with an ever increasing level of handouts, demanding less and less accountability, cost shifting the consequences of poor decision making, punishing achievers by making them pay for more and more handouts for the takers, you incentivize being a taker and disincentivize being an achiever. <<<< This is a fact its basic human nature its basic animal nature. Leave dog good out for a coyote and see how much it puts in the effort to go hunt game on its own? A lot of folks are no different. You need to be mindful of this aspect wh
I'm not going to argue on the "afordable care act" b/c I
think it's so flawed it does little to help the ppl that really
need the help.
It is Immoral no to care about others.
It doesn't matter what argument you use to justify it.
B/c it still boils down to this: I want to be well cared
for and I don't give a rats ass about anyone else.

petco GINA ( Dog Trainer)So disrespectful and she feels she is a person of power and treats the customer like crap. rude, arrogant, b****, disrespectful, ignorant, bull headed, mean. Manhattan Kansas
Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
January 20th I had went to petco to look into enrolling my 6 month old yellow lab into another training session. The first one we started was in October it was a puppy level 1 and she was 13 weeks when she had her first course. Christmas vacation was going to take 2.5 weeks so mid January I would be able to enroll her in puppy 2. Our trainer was Sandy and we just LOVE her. Well I did anyways. Mabel love's everyone and everything. When there on the 20th I spoke to sandy to find what would work best for me. I could fit in one more session because my Due date was 7 weeks away and classes are 6 weeks long. Puppy 2 didn't start until Mid February pushing her graduation date past my due date a ways. She asked me how old is Mabel now? I said 6 months not thinking at the time she turns over on the 2nd of every month. But Sandy said oh she is more than old enough to be enrolled into adult level 1 if you'd like? Which started January 25th. Oh my gosh that was great :) Mabel loves going and so do I. Signed me up and I paid 89.99 for the 6 week course.
January 25th :) the big day 1st day of class. Oh I get so excited to learn new things to teach Mabel though I am pretty good at working with animals it is required by my apartment complex she be in classes. (if under 9 months you have to enroll them in classes to have them in or on the property) anyways we are running 5 mins late but that's ok I quit showing up early or even on time because the trainer we had before was always still finishing setting up or forgot we had class most days. So 5 mins late and I needed to snag Mabel treats for class so we are at the check out. Gina walked by acknowledged Mabel and she said my she is very excited. I replied yes yes labs are :( that's something I can't correct but we are late for class as I'm checking out. She gave me a funny look and walked on. I get back to the training ring and I'm all smiles and I say which end is the entrance? She stopped me right there.
Conversation went like this:
Gina: can I help you?
Me: yea we're here for class which end is the entrance? :) ( me all smiles )
G: what's your dog's name?
M: Mabel
G: ( still not letting me into the circle) how old is she?
M: Umm 6 months ( again not thinking to just say 7)
G: oh well this is for adults and she should really be in a puppy 2.
M: I said the day I paid for this class I spoke to sandy who is now store manager and she said Mabel was more than old enough to join Adult 1.
G: well we already have 6 people and 5 is full and so you could look into joining another class.
M: no the class was not full when I signed up and paid for it or Sandy would have said that. Funny thing on the 24th I forgot what time the class started so when I whipped in to grab a calender I noticed that someone had wrote on all of them (full) the class was not full when I enrolled her!
G: ( turns to the other customers who are waiting and asks them) is it OK with everyone if she joins the class? Are you ok with that?
(Everyone just looked at each other with puzzled looks as if to say do we have the right to decide that? )
I am so mad at this point that 1. She in front of everyone asked for their permission for me to join a class that I paid for! I do not need permission when I paid 89.99 with the start date being January 25th. I enter the circle and take a seat. To my right is a husky. To my left a golden retriever. Gina then gets a sheet of paper out to pass around to everyone to write down their name dogs age and phone number. Before she handed it around she made a comment that hit me as her being a b***h. She says " normally I can only fit 5 people on this sheet but 6 at most so with 7 of you we will just have to make due." In a tone :( how rude! I wanted to get up from my seat and ask for my money back and say ya know what Gina you have made it very clear you don't want us here and that I am not welcomed. I was almost in tears. Hormones so I fought back. And told myself don't be ridiculous! She asks the owner to my right with the husky how old he is. Owner replies he's 7months.
NOT one d*** word about him being 7 months and in an adult 1 level!! I get the sheet to fill out and it is a blank piece if printer paper!! Really? Only 6 people find on here? Now I know she was just being a b***h! Also that dog kept being aggressive towards my dog and she didn't do anything about it. When Mabel was in puppy 1 when she would try to "play" with the only puppy in that class and it was so tiny compared to Mabel the puppy would yipe and Sandy would swoop in to take Mabel away and hold her in like a time out. To teach Mabel to be gentle or not to be mean. Few times of that Mabel learned to let the Little puppy be and she waited for her to walk to her.
I got frustrated with the entire thing so I started to say out loud Mabel leave it or you're going to get your face ripped off. Mabel is very smart and listened on a dime to everything I told her.
Finally training begins!!! YAY what do we learn in adult 1??? I'm soo curious :)
It is the exact same s**t Mabel learned in puppy 1. Come, sit, name game. Mabel has that mustered as she should she is 7 months old!!! I was so disappointed. All the other dogs didn't know this stuff. Mabel is already further advanced than the 6 other dogs here. We still did it. Only thing that's beneficial is she is having to follow my commands with all these distractions because in puppy 1 we were the only ones in it other than that shitzu puppy.
I had a shower to attend so my husband took Mabel. Which was nice because when it comes to Mabel I am the alpha and my husband is such a softy he needed to work with her more.
Today's class February 8th 2014
Went over sit, come, leave it.
Mabel again already did this in puppy 1.
When it got time to learn "leave it" my husband dropped the treat told Mabel to leave it in a calm yet stern voice and she did. Gina told him he would need to dance and get her to stay away from it and that she won't understand at all at first. He kicked the treat to Mabel again said Leave it, Mabel wouldn't touch it. DUH she is worked with. Again advanced! Then she told my husband that he wasn't telling her to leave it properly. Umm we tell her to leave it just fine we already know this you can say leave it across the room and she will not touch it. I trained her so well that you can leave a treat in the middle of the room tell her to "leave it" and walk to the bathroom or kitchen or bedroom and she will not touch it. Again smart and worked with!
Then the long leash thing she does where you train your dog to come to your voice every 3 isles down and get them to ignore all other distractions and just go to you. Mabel knows come and she does it well. When 1st learning this you want to be excited and that's a 1st step into getting them to find you. My husband said Mabel come really loud but wasn't excited or ridiculous acting like you need to be when you first start teaching them come. Gina said you have to act happy!!! He said I am,But she knows this already and she knows it well. She came right to him every time. She kept telling him he was calling her wrong.
Overall I hate this trainer I miss Sandy. Gina is rude and disrespectful. I really want to drop her from the class but my husband says no it will be good for Mabel still to be around all them other dogs. But don't drop her out of it we already paid for it. He observed that Gina is someone who thinks she holds power with her title of "Dog Trainer" I am so frustrated with how we have been treated in adult 1. I will never have Gina Again.

Until 2007, laser treatment of eye floaters was essentially unknown to eye doctors. Doctor Karickhoff is in the process of informing all eye doctors of this new procedure in the following ways:
First, a large, well supervised
study of laser treatment of eye floaters
needed to be done to learn the safety and effectiveness of the procedure. The only such study was done by Dr.Karickhoff and was supervised by the Institutional Review Board of his local hospital and the United States Food and Drug Administration. This 200 patient study showed the procedure to be
effective in 92% of patients, and there were no significant complications
Our Book.
On March 15, 2007 an
written by Dr. Karickhoff about laser treatment of eye floaters
in Ocular Surgery News, our most widely read eye journal (non-peer reviewed). This article, containing the very positive results of his 200 patient study cited above, introduced this new procedure to thousands of eye doctors. You may see this article at
Dr. Karickhoff before giving
the first invited lecture at the new Albert Eye Research
Institute of
Duke University.
Doctor Karickhoff has also
written a book
on this procedure that has been purchased by 280 eye surgeons. This book is the only source of detailed information on this subject. There are no tapes, no videos, no lecture series, and no residency training. This book is for sale on this web site under "Our Book" listed in the Home Page menu.
The American Academy of Ophthalmology asked Dr. Karickhoff to give an interview to the Associated Press about his floater work. That
AP article appeared in hundreds of newspapers and hundreds of news web sites
. You can see the U.S.A. Today article at
Doctor Karickhoff is also giving a limited number of
on the procedure.
