|3.1. Data description
Non-expenditure health care data provide information on institutions providing health care in countries, on resources used and on output produced in the framework of health care provision.
Data on health care form a major element of public health information as they describe the capacities available for different types of health care provision as well as potential 'bottlenecks' observed. The quantity and quality of health care services provided and the work sharing established between the different institutions are a subject of ongoing debate in all countries. Sustainability - continuously providing the necessary monetary and personal resources needed - and meeting the challenges of ageing societies are the primary perspectives used when analysing and using the data.
The output-related data ('activities') refer to contacts between patients and the health care system, and to the treatment thereby received. Data are available for hospital discharges of in-patients and day cases, average length of stay of in-patients and medical procedures performed in hospitals.
Annual national and regional data are provided in absolute numbers and in population-standardised rates (per 100 000 inhabitants).
Wherever applicable, the definitions and classifications of the System of Health Accounts (SHA) are followed, e.g. International Classification for Health Accounts - Providers of health care (ICHA-HP). For hospital discharges, the International Shortlist for Hospital Morbidity Tabulation (ISHMT) is used.
Health care data on activities are largely based on administrative data sources in the countries. Therefore, they reflect the country-specific way of organising health care and may not always be completely comparable.
|3.2. Classification system
Patient related definitions follow the System of Health Accounts (SHA) whenever applicable. Common definitions for hospital patients were agreed with OECD and WHO. The detailed definitions are available in CIRCABC.
Discharges by diagnosis refer to the principal diagnosis, i.e. the main condition diagnosed at the end of the hospitalisation (in-patients) or day treatment (day cases). The main condition is the one primarily responsible for the patient's need for treatment or investigation (for additional details, see International statistical Classification of Diseases and related health problems - ICD-10 Volume 2).
Two different data sets for hospital discharges by diagnosis are available:
- For data from 2000 onwards: according to the International Classification for Hospital Morbidity Tabulation (ISHMT). This shortlist for statistical comparison of hospital activity analysis was adopted in 2005 by Eurostat, the OECD (Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development) and the WHO-FIC (Family of International Classifications) Network.
- For data covering the period 1989-2002: according to a Eurostat shortlist of some 60 selective diseases based on ICD-10 (see Annex at the bottom of the page).
The surgical operations and procedures performed in hospitals are listed and presented according to the classification ICD-9-CM (Clinical Modification). However, at national level, different classifications are used for coding operations and procedures, e.g. the ICPM (International Classification of Procedures in Medicine) or ICD-9-CSP (ICD-surgical procedures), and it is not always possible to convert the data directly into ICD-9-CM and preserving the original meaning of the diagnosis or procedure category. Moreover, the ICD-9-CM includes a series of additions, which are not available in the ICD or in some of the national classifications like NOMESCO (Nordic Medico-Statistical Committee), OPCS4-UK (Classification of Surgical Operations and Procedures), CDAM France (Catalogue des Actes Médicaux), OPS301 Germany (Systematik des Operationenschlüssels) etc.
The new table on procedures present data according to the list proposed by the Hospital Data Project II.
- Regional data are following the geographical classification NUTS2.
|3.3. Coverage - sector
Public Health
|3.4. Statistical concepts and definitions
Health care activities' statistics describe the process of providing health care services in countries by referring to the services provided. Service-related data aim at quantifying directly elements of the health care delivery process.
The respective data are, due to their heterogeneity, collected, stored and disseminated via different tables. They are based on different, mainly administrative sources. This may lead to differences in the coverage of time series and/or in the geographical coverage; data validity, reliability and comparability may vary. Furthermore, it may not always be possible to have the health care system, implicitly underpinning the data collection, being consistently defined across data sources.
Non-expenditure health care activities data are grouped as follows:
Hospital patients: data refer to (1) hospital discharges of in-patients and day cases by age, sex, and selected (groups of) diseases; (2) average length of stay of in-patients; (3) a selection of medical procedures applied in hospitals.
A (hospital) discharge is the formal release of a patient from a hospital after a procedure or course of treatment (episode of care). A discharge occurs anytime a patient leaves because of finalisation of treatment, signs out against medical advice, transfers to another health care institution or because of death. A discharge can refer to in-patients or day cases. Healthy newborns should be included. Transfers to another department within the same institution are excluded.
An in-patient is a patient who is formally admitted (or 'hospitalised') to an institution for treatment and/or care and stays for a minimum of one night or more than 24 hours in the hospital or other institution providing in-patient care.
Day case: day care comprises medical and paramedical services (episode of care) delivered to patients who are formally admitted for diagnosis, treatment or other types of health care with the intention of discharging the patient on the same day. An episode of care for a patient who is admitted as a day-care patient and subsequently stays overnight is classified as an overnight stay or other in-patient case.
Average length of stay (ALOS) is computed by dividing the number of hospital days (or bed-days or in-patient days) from the date of admission in an in-patient institution (date of discharge minus date of admission) by the number of discharges (including deaths) during the year.
Procedures are all types of medical interventions with the intention of achieving a result in the care of persons with health problem.
Next to absolute numbers, density rates are provided for health care statistics.
Density rates are used to describe the frequency of services rendered, expressed in per 100 000 inhabitants. They are calculated by dividing the absolute number of health care resources available or services rendered in a given period by the respective population in the same period and then multiplied by 100 000.
|3.5. Statistical unit
Administrative data sources refer to registered patients treated or procedures applied. The underlying totality of institutions, for which data collections are available, may differ. In some countries, data may not be available for a subgroup of institutions (e.g. private hospitals).
|3.6. Statistical population
Depending on the data set, the target populations are all discharges or procedures performed in all hospitals.
|3.7. Reference area
EU-28, the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Serbia, Turkey, Iceland, Norway, Switzerland.
|3.8. Coverage - Time
For several data sets, time series for the EU-28, the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Turkey, Iceland, Norway and Switzerland are available from 1960 onwards. However, the availability of the data varies across countries and data sets.
|3.9. Base period
Not applicable
The data are published in absolute numbers and rate per 100,000 inhabitants.
Calendar year; depending on the reporting Member State, the reference period refers to the annual average or as reported by 31st December.
|6.1. Institutional Mandate - legal acts and other agreements
Countries submit data to Eurostat on the basis of a gentlemen's agreement established in the framework of the Eurostat Working Group on "Public Health Statistics".
A Regulation on Community statistics on public health and health and safety at work (EC) No 1338/2008 was signed by the European Parliament and the Council on 16 December 2008. This Regulation is the framework of the data collection on the domain. Within the context of this framework Regulation, a specific Implementing Measure is currently being developed - within the ESS - on Causes of Death statistics and, according to forthcoming agreement with the member States, Implementing Measures for other domains will follow.
|6.2. Institutional Mandate - data sharing
Data on hospital activities (hospital discharges, surgical procedures, ...) are collected by Eurostat apart from the Joint questionnaire on health care resources. Further work on definition and classification harmonisations needs to be done among the three international organisations before the inclusion of the statistics in the joint questionnaire.
Definitions and data specifications are available in CIRCABC.
|7.1. Confidentiality - policy
Regulation (EC) No 223/2009 on European statistics (recital 24 and Article 20(4)) of 11 March 2009 (OJ L 87, p. 164), stipulates the need to establish common principles and guidelines ensuring the confidentiality of data used for the production of European statistics and the access to those confidential data with due account for technical developments and the requirements of users in a democratic society.

|12.1. Quality assurance
Not available
|12.2. Quality management - assessment
The quality of the data is subject to the way in which health care provision is organised in countries, and which information is available to and collected by the respective institutions.
The quality, comparability and coverage are discussed at biannual technical meetings of the Techincal Group Care and at the annual Eurostat's Working Group "Public Health Statistics".
It is also subjected to annual discussions with OECD and WHO at annual trilateral meetings concerning the Joint Questionnaire on Health Care Non Monetary Statistics, which is the basis for the data collection.
|13.1. Relevance - User Needs
The main users of the data are DG Health & Consummers (Sanco) and DG Employment in view of health policy papers and health strategies. The data also contribute to monitor the Europe 2020 strategy on Health as requested by the Council in December 2013 in the conclusions on the "Reflection process on modern, responsive and sustainable health systems" and to the Joint Assessment Framework for Health (JAF) which was agreed by the Social Protection Comitee in November 2013.

|14.2. Sampling error
Not applicable
|14.3. Non-sampling error
Not applicable
|15.1. Timeliness
Eurostat asks for the submission of final data for the year N at N+15 months.
A number of countries still face difficulties with this timetable and deliver data at their earliest convenience.
|15.2. Punctuality
Not available
|16.1. Comparability - geographical
The comparability of the data across different countries is limited by the fact that the quality of the country data is subject to the way, in which health care provision is organised in countries, and which information is available to and collected by the respective institutions.
Some countries are unable to cover all providers of care (the inclusion of private providers seems particularly difficult) or are only able to provide data for selective regions.
Sometimes regional data cannot be made available as the available breakdown does not coincide with the NUTS classification.
Ongoing work to increase quality, comparability and coverage is reported to Eurostat's Working Group "Public Health Statistics".
|16.2. Comparability - over time
The comparability of the data over time is checked before dissemination.
Some countries may have a change in their data collection and so a break in series. These break in series are flagged and some information (if available) are given in the annexes of the metadata.
|17.1. Coherence - cross domain
Health care data on activities are also available in the database "Regions".
|17.2. Coherence - internal
Internal coherence is ensured by the annual validation processes.
The data collection is based on administrative national sources with no additional burden.
|19.1. Data revision - policy
Only final data published.
|19.2. Data revision - practice
|20.1. Source data
Health care non-expenditure data are mainly derived from administrative sources, and these sources may vary by country and by variable, eg. hospital administrative sources, health workers associations, family centers and private practises.
Please note that the data sources used may not have been created initially for statistical purposes, and that the initial purpose of a data source may differ across countries. Both facts may influence the validity and comparability of results.
|20.2. Frequency of data collection
|20.3. Data collection
Administrative data from the national statistics authorities. The dta are collected annually.
|20.4. Data validation
Consistency checks: comparing the statistics with previous years, investigating inconsistencies in the statistics, performing macro data editing, outlier detection. Comparison of validation results with OECD and WHO in view of data collected by the Joint Questionnaire on Non Monetary Health Care.
|20.5. Data compilation
The absolute numbers for EU aggregates are the sum of the country numbers. For the density rates these EU totals are divided by the corresponding total EU population.
|20.6. Adjustment
Data as reported by countries. No adjustments are made by Eurostat.
See Footnotes in the Annex at the bottom of the page for:
Hospital patients:
- Main surgical operations and procedures performed in hospitals (by ICD-9-CM) (1997-2007)
- All surgical operations and procedures performed in hospitals (by ICD-9-CM) (2005 onwards)
- Percentage of non-residents among all hospital discharges

Wow, Mario Testino sure knows how to pull in a fashwan crowd, doesn't he? Carine, Crystal, Courtney et al arrived at the El Museo Del Barrio Gala held in New York in honour of the legendary snapper last week and what a lot of lovely frocks were on display! So, in true Best Dressed style, we're totted up our top looks but what we really want to know is who gets your vote. Here are the contenders…
We begin with Mme. Roitfeld who, as we've already reported, intriguingly revealed she's working on an 'entire issue of V Magazine with Mario Testino', but what of her dress? It's black lace, of course! And what a treat it is to see her looking so feminine with that full skirt cascading from a corseted bodice and that sexy off-the-shoulder design. Onto the US Voguettes, Grace Coddington also went back to black with her simple shift dress while Anna Wintour provided a bold splash of red with her printed frock complete with frilly tiers and a fluffy white snug. So which Testino shoot is Grace's fave? 'There's one that I do adore, and that is one I did with Annie Leibovitz and Natalia [Vodianova],' she told NY Mag. 'We did the story of Alice in Wonderland, and we cast all the designers as all the characters from Alice in Wonderland, so they were all in the shoot.' Ooh yes, we love that one too.
And from the editors to the designers, we have Tamara Mellon and Donatella Versace both sporting floor-sweeping noir gowns – Donatella's accented by a string of gems; Tamara's funked up by a pair of fierce Choos.
Not only has Kate Winslet played muse many a time to the photographer's lens, most recently for her Lancome campaign, but she's just shot with Mario and Carine for the V magazine issue so it was no surprise to see her bringing some Hollywood wattage to the proceedings, and to present Mr Testino with his award, she swathed her curves in an elegant white gown with a black-trimmed bodice and saucy slit by Narciso Rodriguez, topped off with a slick of red lippy. As for Courtney Love, she turned to Roberto Cavalli for her glad rags, choosing a heavily embellished number perfect for nailing erm, mermaid chic.
A swathe of Mario models also strutted their stuff at the soiree, with Crystal Renn looking stunning in blue, Joan Smalls wearing a striking red creation by Prabal Gurung and Candice Swanepoel ditching her usual Victoria's Secret fare for an androgynous monochrome tux.
So who gets your vote?

Some Passed Down Yule Traditions
December 10, 2011 in Guests by ladykaldea
The traditions of Yule are passed down through the generations, and some are basic family traditions. For me, I love baking. I seemed to have inherited that talent from my grandmother. She was always baking in the kitchen when I was growing up. My mother would always be there to help, and to take down the recipes which Grandma seemed to pull out of the air. It was a warm comforting tradition which was passed down through the generations of my family. It comes from the time when families were always sharing the chores and food preparations and each other's company. It was from a time when there was no TV and even no radios. It was a time when people worked side by side and shared in life.
Now I carry on the tradition. For my birthday (which is near Yule) I go out to find a live tree. This tradition was started when I was very
young and my grandfather would take me out to a tree farm to find just the right tree for Christmas. Ever since then, the only thing I ask for on
my birthday is the live tree. It reminds me of my grandfather and the times he spent with me in the garden and on those treks find the
perfect tree.
My recipes are the other tradition I keep going. All of my baking is done from scratch. No mixes for me! I look for the ingredients which
have the least amount of chemicals and take my time working on them. The most recent attempts have been an eggnog cheesecake and a rum
bunt cake. Both these I got off the web and have been very successful with them. I also recreated an almond poppy seed cookie which did not
include a box of sugar cookie mix. That too has become a greatly sought after success. I will continue to hone my skills as a baker and hope I live
up to my Grandma's expectations.
May you all have a wonderful Yuletide!

Students auditioned in September and October in a rigorous process that included singing an Italian art song by memory, singing scales, tonal memory exercises, and sight-singing. Students who were accepted first participated in three regional honor choirs. Humboldt County sent three students to the Coastal Region Honor Choir in Aptos, Calif., last November. Along with Alex Wilson, Fortuna High School student Kevin LoMiglio and Eureka High School student Trevor Lynn represented Humboldt County at the Coastal Region Honor Choir.
Regional Honor Choir participants with the highest audition scores are invited to sing in the All-State Choirs. Students rehearse for three days and then perform in a concert in March. Fortuna High School music teacher Dr. Sarah McClimon noted the importance of the honor choir experience. "The Regional and All-State Honor Choirs are a very special educational experience for students.
Alex is an active musician at Fortuna High School where he sings in two choirs, plays alto saxophone in the Jazz Express, and plays baritone horn in the Symphonic Band. He recently sang a solo for the Fortuna High School Music Department Winter Concert. Alex's travel is supported by the Rising Stars Foundation, through the Humboldt County Office of Education.

Well so so movie does it keep you entertained yes so passable the ending just got way to goofy.
I totally agree with marycd - watching the movie was a complete waste of my time. Bright side - didn't have to buy or rent dvd as it's free to borrow at the local NYPL. The daughter's acting sucked! She looked like she's always being coached. The so-called FBI agents are of pure stupidity!
An interesting story featuring Nicolas Cage as a thief who is released only to find his daughter rejects his overtures then is kidnapped by a former friend/ally and he turns to another ally to help him recover his daughter while avoiding the FBI etc. Blue Bloods actress plays his daughter.
No cigars for outstanding cinematic artistry of any kind but decent recycled story with fast paced fun action packed entertainment.
nicholas cage being nicholas cage, which is a good thing. was entertaining if rather predictable. well worth watching but was disappointed by the ending being a bit daft
Entertaining. Cage is charming and clever as usual. The suspence is maintained. The movie is not especially great, but it's exciting to watch in the moment.
lol of action it worth watch it,i like N.gate
Completely worthless. 96 minutes of your life you don't want to waste on this really bad film

Reviews for Spanish Gardenia Moisturizing Body Lotion
By red flower
Average rating: 4 out of 5 hearts
By Yolanda on November 22, 2012
A very special lotion
I got this as a gift. I usually don't go for girly flowery fragrant lotions. It's grown on me, though. First of all, the it's such a rich, soothing, hydrating lotion my skin just drinks it up. But the smell is so delightful (not too overly floral or sweet), I can't help but love it.
By Fj on March 22, 2012
I'm hooked on the moisture and the fragrance
I got this as a gift and now I'm hooked. It's fast-absorbing and restorative. But not only does it improve the look and feel of my skin, it is also a mood lifter. The smell is so refreshing and stimulating that you just feel good when you massage it into your skin. I find once in the morning gives me enough moisture to last throughout the day.
Size: 226g/8 oz
Deeply soften, soothe and delicately scent the skin with gardenias, honey, olive extract, arnica and wild crafted botanicals.

DiGiorno and Delissio are a co-owned brand of frozen pizzas sold in the United States and Canada, respectively, and are currently subsidiaries of Nestlé.
DiGiorno manufactures over 250,000 pizzas each day for consumers for national sale in the continental United States.[citation needed] The DiGiorno product line originally offered pastas and sauces in 1991, and pizzas have been available nationally in the U.S. since 1996.
Delissio frozen pizzas were launched in Canada in 1999,[1] although Kraft had previously used the Delissio brand for other pizza products in the late 1980s.[2]
The brand's slogan is "It's not delivery. It's DiGiorno/Delissio," which suggests that their frozen pizzas are of high enough quality that they might be mistaken for fresh pizzeria pizzas. In the U.S., sports personality Dick Vitale is the primary pitchman, and has appeared in TV commercials for the pizza.
Some DiGiorno pizzas, primarily the 12" rising variety, use mechanically separated chicken as a meat ingredient in their pepperoni and sausage toppings, while others use more traditional ingredients.[3][4][5]
Some DiGiorno pizzas are boxed with cookies, breadsticks, or wyngz.
In 2010, Kraft sold the DiGiorno and Delissio brands, along with the rest of its frozen pizza business, to Swiss-based food manufacturer Nestlé.[6] The move helped to finance Kraft's bid for Cadbury, while also effectively ensuring that Nestlé would not submit a competing bid for the confectionery company.[7] Since Nestlé acquired Kraft's frozen pizza business, the DiGiorno brand has expanded to include bonus appetizers in a box, including breadsticks, boneless chicken pieces, and Toll House cookies.
In 2013, DiGiorno's dairy supplier, Foremost Farms USA, dropped Wiese Brothers Farm after the animal rights organization Mercy for Animals released undercover footage showing workers there beating, dragging, and whipping dairy cows, some of which appear unable to walk, while others have infected or freely bleeding wounds. Nestlé and Foremost Farms USA denied any knowledge of the abuse.[8]

Federal regulators are reviewing what JPMorgan Chase told investors about its finances and the risks it took weeks before suffering a multibillion-dollar trading loss.
Mary Schapiro, chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission, told the Senate Banking Committee Tuesday that the agency is examining JPMorgan's earnings statements and first-quarter financial reports to determine if they were "accurate and truthful."
Schapiro and Gary Gensler, chairman of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, said the $2 billion-plus loss at JPMorgan should be a lesson for regulators to tighten rules as they draft them under the 2010 financial overhaul law.

Road crews have been out salting and sanding roads, but it is still slick in spots. Private contractors were also out clearing parking lots and sidewalks. The wind blowing the snow around added to the problem.
The conditions were blamed for a pair of Omaha accidents. A woman was hospitalized with a gash to the head after her van hit a snowplow at North 90th and Maple early Sunday morning. Police told WOWT 6 News her injury would have been much worse had she not been wearing a seat belt.
Three others were hospitalized, one in serious condition, after their SUV crashed into a wall along the curve from southbound Interstate 680 to eastbound I-80 around 6 p.m. Saturday.

Both sides speak out at Medicaid expansion hearing
RICHMOND—Opponents and proponents of Medicaid eligibility expansion packed a General Assembly committee room Tuesday for the only public hearing planned by the legislative panel that will decide whether Virginia expands the program.
Sen. Emmett Hanger, R–Augusta, chairman of the Medicaid Innovation and Reform Commission, said 178 people signed up to speak, and many more filled the committee room.
The commission was set up by the General Assembly last winter to review the state's efforts to get federal permission for various reforms to the Medicaid program and decide whether, based on those reforms, Virginia should move forward with expanding Medicaid eligibility under the Affordable Care Act.
Last year's U.S. Supreme Court ruling that upheld the ACA as constitutional also said that a key part of it, expansion of Medicaid to cover more people, was optional for states.
As of September, 24 states and the District of Columbia had expanded Medicaid, according to the Kaiser Family Foundation. Virginia is among the 26 states that up to now has not decided to expand the program to cover people with incomes up to 133 percent of the federal poverty level.
Supporters of the expansion argue that it would provide coverage and better health care access for up to 400,000 more Virginians. They say Virginia would receive federal tax dollars to help pay for the expansion that will otherwise go to other states, and that Virginia taxpayers might as well recoup some of their tax dollars.
"These numbers represent real people who need health care," said Judy Hodges with National Patient Advocate Foundation in the Richmond area. "I don't think the people opposing Medicaid expansion realize the cost of non-group health insurance."
Opponents distrust the federal government's promise to pay the bulk of the cost of the expansion, and say those federal dollars are still taxpayer dollars, thus costing everyone.
They say Medicaid is a bloated program that needs reforms before any expansion should be considered, and said the low government reimbursements for Medicaid patients already are driving some doctors not to accept patients using the program. Many of those who spoke Tuesday also opposed the idea of expanding an entitlement program.
Dave Schwartz, the Virginia director of Americans for Prosperity—a national group that has intensely worked against the expansion—said 1 in 4 doctors don't accept Medicaid, and that expansion would do nothing to help people if they can't see doctors.
"Everyone needs coverage. Coverage means nothing if you don't have care," Schwartz said. "I don't know anybody that wants to be part of this program."
Dr. Chris Lillis, a Fredericksburg doctor, is on the side of expansion and came to Richmond to say so to the commission members.
"This is an historic opportunity to eliminate the problem of the uninsured," he said before the meeting began.
He said free clinics treat the "poorest of the poor" and that relying on such clinics is not a reliable, integrated way for people to get regular health care.
Virginia's free clinic system serves about 80,000 people statewide, and some 75 percent of those could be eligible for Medicaid if the eligibility was expanded, said Linda Wilkinson, the CEO of the Virginia Association of Free and Charitable Clinics.
Some supporters of expansion said they would benefit from it.
Rosalie Rodriguez said both she and her husband work several jobs, but have no insurance coverage. Their children are covered under the FAMIS program, but monthly premiums for their family would cost her husband's entire paycheck, she said.
"I fear there are so many people like us who need Obamacare," Rodriguez said. "We fall between the cracks."
Representatives of several health insurers in Virginia also lined up to urge the expansion, saying they have the resources to treat the newly eligible. Several said that the ACA cuts several payments to hospitals and that hospitals accepted those cuts under the assumption that more people would have coverage, which would lessen their costs of caring for people who have no insurance.
Some opponents said those health insurance providers have plenty of money, but that taxpayers do not.
Clarence Thompson, a pastor at Life Church in Mechanicsville, said the expansion would be a "huge financial burden" for the state.
"The poor should be helped. But it should be done in a responsible way that doesn't overburden other people," Thompson said.
Other opponents said the state government can't afford to cover its share of the expansion once the federal contribution is cut back to 90 percent. Medicaid has been a major driver of increased state budgets, and some speakers said they fear if the state must pay even more for the program, it will have to take that money from other programs.
At least two teachers spoke to say they fear the costs of Medicaid expansion would drain further dollars from the public education system.
The commission will hold its next regular meeting next Monday in Richmond.

You want to leave a legacy for your children – and for theirs. You've captured memories in photographs and have a collection to share with them. But some of the photos – or those your folks or grandparents have – are fading and may already have some damage.
We can help.
We deal with faded, damaged, and color-shifted prints, slides, and negatives. Our equipment can see far more than human eyes can, giving us the foundation for our repair work. We capture your images for restoration and safekeeping, and return the originals the next day then do our computer magic and deliver the final product as a print or a CD. After you see the work, you pay us if you are satisfied ('astonished' and 'thrilled' are typical reactions). That way it's our time that is at risk, and you're free to give us a challenge.
Send us a scan (we'll show you how) or ship us your original: put it on your calendar now, so the image doesn't fall apart any further, and so that the task actually happens. If you're in the greater Christiansburg, VA area, call us at 540 577-0933 to arrange a pickup.
Customary service involves you sending a digital file and receiving it back again for printing within 36 hours. Overnight service is available depending on workload (in by 5 PM, out by 8 AM).[sendtokindle]

An unthinkable tragedy in North Carolina has hit close to home, as an eight-month-old boy died following an accident in a bathtub, and his McCreary County family prepares to bury little Grant Trorkleson.
Torkleson's McCreary County grandfather, Randy Stevens, will remember him as one of the happiest babies you ever met in your life. "Every time you saw the kid he was either smiling or laughing," said Stevens.
The toddler's life came to a screeching halt Friday. His mother, Ashley Torkleson, who now lives with her family on a military base in North Carolina, was giving her two kids a bath when Grant fell and drowned. Doctors say he suffered an aneurysm that may have been triggered by pneumonia. When he fell, the mother turned from whatever she was doing and he was laying face down. She grabbed him and she immediately started doing CPR and called 911.
Grant remained on life support for several days, until a final test Thursday showed Grant was brain dead and would not survive. He passed away at about 1:40 p,m. Thursday.
In the meantime, the McCreary County Christian Center has stepped into action. The center is accepting donations for the family to help pay for travel expenses and funeral costs.
To learn more about Grant and how you can help the family, you can log on to their Facebook page called Team Grant by clicking here.

Aah - a cheap thrill! I usually buy my makeup at Sephora, but this is just as good!! It is like the Olay Regenerist Serum with color. Buff Beige is a great neutral color for NW20-NW25 people. It has lots of silicones, so it smooths wrinkles and pores and leaves a matte (but not powdery) finish. It has light coverage, but can be built up to medium. It only has SPF 10, but 5% titanium dioxide, which is more than alot of my creams with SPF 15 contain. It is light enough that you can apply a little more of this as well to up the SPF protection. Pump packaging which is great! Goes on like silk and requires little blending. Washes off easily (unlike the colorstay type of makeup). No irritation or breakouts and it has niacinamide, which is great for keeping my skin calm. As good as Nars tinted moisturizer for a quarter of the price!!
4 out of 4 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I was surprised at the low rating of this foundation. It has a real nice creamy texture and blends incredibly well. It is a sheer to light coverage that doesn't settle into lines, pores or wrinkles and gives my skin a beautiful radiant finish. I get no shiny t zone, it doesn't oxidize on me and lasts all day.
3 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I like this product a lot. I got this in a medium light color which is perfect for my transitioning skin tone while I go tanning. So far it is easily matchable and blendable. It covers acne scars relatively well with a good concealer( i use Loreal tru match natural). After application of the foundation I use the loose professional powder for Cover Girl that controls excess oil and then a bronzer to add a radiant finish. I never was a believer in foundations but am finding that flawless skin is easily fakable! An added bonus is that my skin texture seems to be improving while using this foundation, it seems softer, and it doesn't break me out, which is awesome. Love the product for a liquid foundation!
I rarely rave about something from Cover Girl, but this is a truly great product. It adds a gorgeous, healthy glow to my face while covering all of my pores and other imperfections. The color matches me perfect, and the coverage lasts all day. Plus, it's dirt cheap. How nice it is to see Cover Girl stepping up and making some really great products as of late. Definitely buying this again.
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I bought this product back in the summer but did like the "shiny" look it gave me. I tried it again since winter weather is here and my skin is drier, and LOVE it. I have used a lot more expensive foundations that I do not like as well.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I really like this foundation; the texture is light, the color matches my skin perfectly, the scent is pleasant...but the formula is just a wee bit too heavy for my oily skin. It imparts a healthy look that makes my skin look dewy and healthy (no sparkles or anything like that). Wish it worked a little better with my skin type because I think this is a really good product.
I think I'll try this in the winter months and provide another update :)
UPDATE: I've been using this in the winter, along with a medication that makes my skin a lot less oily and I love it. Looks natural, blurs imperfections, and is long-wearing. Great product!
This is my all time favorite foundation. It doesn't make my break out and the coverage is great. I normally put a powder over foundation but I find I don't need to with this one. I love the container and it's also moisturizing which is great, esp if I'm using any acne treatments at the time. I really hope they never discontinue this one.
I highly recommend this and I'm hoping to try the pressed powder soon.
well, I like the bottle... oddly enough this seemed to make my skin actually look older as the day went on it seemed to settle into my pores and fine lines which i wasn't too happy about :(
This was the first foundation I ever used. I started wearing makeup when I was 15 and this was the first choice since my mother loved it.
This foundation can be deceiving. When you apply it in the morning you can actually achieve a flawless face and cover up acne and everything. Now, about an hour (2 at most) it starts oxidizing and fading. 3 hours later, you don't have any makeup on and look extremely greasy.
If you have oily skin this is defenetely not your choice since you will see it disappear before your eyes in no time.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
This turns out to be an excellent choice for my dry, mature skin. Great coverage, easy application and I don't notice any smell at all (I have allergies right now). I wish it had a higher SPF and the colors tend to be lighter than the same color in a different CG product. Classic Beige in one CGproduct is different from Classic Beige in another. But I like how even-toned my skin looks, so it's a keeper!

Dairy producer receives hope with the help of Colorado AgrAbility
Besides the dairy milk, meat and eggs that her livestock provide her, Vickie Paxton's goats and chickens give her a reason to get out of bed each morning and force her to keep moving. Movement is important for a person dealing with rheumatoid arthritis and fibromyalgia. However, the accompanying chronic pain and joint inflammation had Vickie wondering if she could continue working with her livestock as she always had.
Vickie attended a workshop she saw advertised in her local paper for Colorado AgrAbility. She had their occupational therapist come to her farm at no cost and offer ideas on how to work easier while protecting her joints and conserving her energy. They brainstormed options to feed and milk her goats, clean the pens, and get around the property with less effort.
Division of Vocational Rehabilitation, a state agency that assists injured workers, stepped in to provide more hope by purchasing for Vickie equipment to clean the goat pens. Vickie is also working with Natural Resource Conservation Service for their high tunnel program so that she can extend her vegetable crop production season. She hopes that in the future raised container beds and ergonomic tools will also help ease her joint pain.
Colorado AgrAbility will host a workshop in Holyoke, Colo., on Feb. 12 at the Phillips County Event Center, located on the Phillips County Fairgrounds. The workshop, "Gear for Working Smarter with AgrAbility," will take place from 9 a.m. to noon and includes lunch for those who pre-register at least one week prior to the workshop.

I'm missing the old tankspot style
I guess there will be some modifications?!
Our upgrade process has finally completed and we're ready to open our doors again. Along with the heightened site security, we've also gained several other new and improved features (including some heavy modifications to the Blogs system). Welcome back!
I'm missing the old tankspot style
I guess there will be some modifications?!
I'd like to thank the Tankspot team for getting the site back up as quick as possible given the situation.
I'm looking forward to the new changes ahead.
Keep up the great work!
There is something so appealing about backhanding someone across the face with a shield.
I don't know how I survived yesterday without tankspot!
Can't wait till you make the forums look sexy again too.
Given the situation AND given all the big tanking news that came out today! Well done guys!
Lookin' good, lookin' sharp. Long time reader, new registrator-ed...uhm, yeah...I like the new look and forum lay out. Somethings will take getting used to, and considering the situation that occured - well done, gentlemen and ladies, well done.
Sitting in my shack in Montana...UnaBruci isn't impressed with the new site's looks. I guess he'll get over it though.
You kids. GET OFF MY YARD

When I saw this knotted leather Celine bracelet (#3 on 'The List') in a recent Harpers Bazaar I instantly thought DIY!
I had a bunch of leather scraps leftover from some past DIYs so I decided to use some of the gold. I started by measuring out a piece 5" wide by 15" long. (If you have large wrists you may want a slightly longer piece. Remember that you can always cut off the excess.)
Cut out the rectangular shape.
Fold in the sides length-wise so that they meet in the center.
Tie the piece into a basic overhand knot. While tying the sides you folded in may want to come undone, but don't worry about it too much.
Adjust the leather until you have a nice looking knot on top and the (unsecured) 'seam' is on the back.
Flip the bracelet over and apply some leather or fabric glue to the inside/wrong-side of the leather.
Before you fold the leather down into place, add a small neodymium magnet about a 1/2" from the end. (Note: Normal craft store magnets likely are not strong enough to work in this application. However, neodymium magnets can be dangerous, especially to children, so use caution when working with them.)
Then press the leather together and wipe away any excess glue that seeps out the end. Repeat the glue and magnet process for the other end of the bracelet. (Alternately you could use velcro or snaps to clasp the bracelet.)
To wear, wrap the bracelet around your wrist with the knot on top and bring the two magnetized ends together.

The Proprietors
Roy and Geraldine Fox moved to Cyprus in October 2005. They live in Agios Georgios with Geraldine's mother and their daughter, Jemma.
In April 2008 they took over The Magic
Teapot in Agios Georgios, a sleepy little
bar in the middle of nowhere.
In that time they have transformed it
from that sleepy little bar into a true
hub of the community. It is now a
friendly, lively venue with regular
events and activities.
They work hard and they enjoy every minute!
The Chef
Pauline is originally from Aberdeen, Scotland. Pauline now lives and works in Cyprus where she is the chef at The Magic Teapot.
While in Scotland, Pauline was the proprietor of a busy wholesale sandwich and catering company before selling and moving on to the locally renowned Boathouse restaurant in Stonehaven.
Pauline specialises in cooking great food
from carefully sourced ingredients. Her
menus at home and at the restaurant are
an eclectic mix from fine dining to good
old-fashioned hearty grub.
The Family Helpers
Every family business needs some family and The Magic Teapot restaurant has that in abundance.
Roy and Geraldine's daughter, Hannah, is the website creator, kitchen hand and waitress.
You will often find Jemma, Roy and Geraldine's other daughter, at the bar - on one side or the other - where she can be relied upon for drinking advice or creating you some tasty cocktails. She is also an experienced waitress so will be close to hand in the restaurant.
Their grandson Connor will be quickly trained in all roles to earn his pocket money!
Hopefully Robert - their son - will also visit regularly and help out!
