Check out prunus cistena crimson dwarf. This is a small shrub offen sold as a half standard.
I have a couple in my garden and currently they are fabulous.......red foliage and small pinky white flowers create aN eye catching picture. I love this plant. It retains its red foliage throughout the growing season and is nest and compact. it does not drop loads of leaves and should look great nest a pool.
Lots of plants go well with it......geranium rocarpet provides a blue summer carpet in front of it. Caryopteris, aster frikartii monch, blue veronicas, etc also provide that blue association. Silver plants like artemisia Powys castle, santolinas, helichrysum (curry plant) and fuschia genii too, with its yellow foliage and red summer flowers, looks good with it too.
Then a soapy spray, ideally using a pressure jet sprayer, will do the job.
Brookside plants are excellent for plugs.
When buying plugs I go for early as possible. Left too late....as some suppliers do.....they have a lot of catching up to do.
Agree with advice to pot up asap. Plugs will grow away fast and you will need to pot up again to,produce good size plants to put into garden.
Morning supernooodle
Soap sprays are effective. Domt like usIng powerful chemicals for aphids. If not squeamish you could simply squash and wash them off.
I went out late last night to check on slugs and snails and was surprised by their numbers cos I havent actually seen much damage anywhere. I usually start this "murderous" activity earlier.
So, control pests ASAP, snoopernoodle whether aphids or slugs
Hello everyone
Beautiful morning here...stunning
Stacey, I had a 10'.....actually 12' ....pool on front lawn few years back. Great fun.....messed lawn when emptied though. It's all about FUN....and memories Those heleniums need some moisture but not swimming pool
Lovely pictures Potty. Meant to post my hellebores but now cutting them back....never think to post pics but promised I would with agastaches later.
Got a group of Imperata red baron to plant out today....already have some and love this grass. They will go behind hackonechloa which is already looking good. A simgle, but large, blue lupin will add colour behind in a few weeks. Dicentra Alba is there too. This is a lowish maintenance area really dominated by lots of hellebores but when cut back heleniums, acteas, grasses, foxgloves, veronicastrums, astilbes, geum tamgerine dreams, astrantias, and others fill in.
Phew! I've got myself keen to get out there now but dog walk first.
Hiya newboy
Fleece carrots for fly and for initial protection until germination....used this today
Fleece for peas for pea moth at flowering time
Fleece for spring onions when sown until germination
Fleece for runner bean plants when cold
Hiya Foodie
I think you will be ok. Deep loose roots will likely die on hemerocallis. I've never found a problem with moving and digging them up and roots left behind growing.
Morning Hester
I don't grow many annuals.....just odd few for containers.
However, I have seen so many gardens given over entirely to annuals and they look fantastic. There is no denying the pleasure during the summer of a garden in full glorious colour because of annuals
For me though, annuals lack structure and form....it's just colour and often all at the same height. Perennials add so much more to a garden and actually are a more economical option to annuals
Chicky, I too received a clematis from Taylors. Agree excellent value. Should add Taylor's to the "good guys" thread
Oh! Whoever lay on that "cushion" last night should know it was a bag of dried manure I forgot to clear out.
Not quite sure what's required here buf your son sounds BRILLIANT. I like him already...ha ha.
Cos my brain is not in gear yet can I start off with apple mint, asparagus, aubergine, borage, Beetroot, carrot, chard, coriander, ....
Sorry, gardenjeannie if I have missed the plot here so will read this thread later.

BARRY LARKIN, the National League's most valuable player, and the Cincinnati Reds agreed yesterday to a $16.5 million, three-year contract extension through 1999 with a club option for 2000 that could make the deal worth $21.2 million.
"I didn't want to have to test the free-agent market," Larkin said. "I'm happy here. I've been treated well here."
Larkin, 30, hit .319 with 15 homers, 66 runs batted in and 51 stolen bases last season. He won his second straight Gold Glove at shortstop.
Larkin will get $5.3 million this season, his last under a $25.6 million, five-year contract agreed to in January 1992. The extension calls for $5.3 million a year for three seasons, and Cincinnati has a $5.3 million option for 2000 or must pay a $600,000 buyout. The option becomes guaranteed if Larkin has 525 plate appearances in any of the first three seasons of the extension.
Larkin is a Cincinnati native. After playing at the University of Michigan, he was the Reds' first pick in the 1985 amateur draft. He played in 41 games in 1986, and has been the Reds' regular shortstop since 1987. (AP)

Awards season again. Last year, as you may recall, a many months pregnant Natalie Portman received the Oscar for Best Actress for "Black Swan." Her lithesome acceptance speech, without notes, thanked many colleagues she knew had helped her stand there. As both a lifelong moviegoer and a worker on films, my spirit lifted at these words: "There are people on films that no one ever talks about, that are your heart and soul every day, including Joe Reidy, our incredible A.D..." Along with so many others, I was thrilled by her sentiment -- and especially pleased for Joe Reidy.

I just wanted to say thank you for your NOSE BUTTER product! My bulldogs nose looks 10x better!

I want to thank you so much for these products. I have a liver nose yellow Labrador retriever and we took him to the vet and was told his nose would be like that forever and there wasn't much we could do. His nose became cracked and bleeding! Unsatisfied, we went searching for answers and help. I found the NOSE BUTTER and received it less than a week ago and his nose is already cleared up! I wish I had a taken a before picture so I could show you.
Thank you so much from myself and my pup, Asher.
I am absolutely astonished at how well the Nose Butter is working on my 11 year old Doberman and semi-retired Service Dog.

Thank you for the Cocker Spaniel NOSE BUTTER® Praise! It means so much to know your dog is feeling and looking better. –Kathy DV
I bought NOSE BUTTER for my Boxer, she's almost 4 years old and has been developing dry bumps on her nose for a while now. I put it on and after one day I noticed a difference, after the second day her bumps are completely gone! I am in AWW of your product! I will definitly recommend your product to my other short nose dog friends! And did I mention great price for how much you need! GREAT GREAT GREAT!!!
Happy Boxer Mom,
Just wanted to say thank you. My little Chihuahua Roxy is doing great after trying the Chihuahua NOSE BUTTER! She doesn't seem to mind it too much and actually lets me put it on her. Your order was promptly out the door & I got it rather quick ! Very nice to chat with you. I will be recommending you to others in the future

Just two days of use and my Bernese Mountain Dog's slightly cracked top of her nose is as good as new.Thanks for making a great product. Courtney
I received the Boo Boo Butter in the mail today. Thank you so much! So far I've been using the Elbow Butter on my Irish Wolfhound puppy's elbows (he likes to "army crawl" around the floor and has rug burn on his elbows lol) and it's been working wonders!
Thanks again,
I had been searching for a good product to use for my Great Dane dry nose issues. I used it as soon as the order arrived. It's amazing just a amazing product! I am using it for all his dry areas also his minor scratches. Harvey's dry issues are just about completely healed. I'm very impressed with this product. I'm so glad I took a chance in buying it. I will continue to use this product for sure.
Thank you again Extremely Happy customer,
BOXER NOSE BUTTER REVIEW: I received your product Thursday it is now Saturday morning and my boxer's nose is almost all better. I can't believe how fast it is working! His nose was so bad we would refer to him as barnacle nose. I wish I would have taken a before picture. Your NOSE BUTTER is amazing and I will be recommending it to everyone I know. ????
No More Barnacle Nose!

MONDAY, Feb. 6 (HealthDay News) -- A new scoring method can aid clinicians in predicting functional outcomes for patients with ischemic stroke receiving intravenous (IV) alteplase, according to a study published in the Feb. 7 issue of Neurology.
Daniel Strbian, M.D., Ph.D., of Helsinki University Central Hospital, and colleagues developed a functional outcome prediction score by studying the immediate pretreatment parameters and three-month outcomes in 1,319 ischemic stroke patients treated with IV alteplase. The accuracy of the model was evaluated with bootstrapping. External validation was performed in a cohort of 330 patients treated at the University Hospital Basel in Switzerland.
The researchers developed the 10-point DRAGON scale based on (hyper)Dense cerebral artery sign or early infarct signs on admission computed tomography scan; prestroke modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score; Age; Glucose level at baseline; Onset-to-treatment time; and baseline National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale score. The area under the receiver operator characteristic curve was 0.84 in the original cohort and 0.80 in the validation cohort. For patients with a score of 0-1, 2, 3, and 8-10 points, the proportions of patients with good outcomes (mRS score, 0 to 2) were 96, 88, 74, and 0 percent, respectively. For patients with a score of 0-1, 2, 3, 8, and 9-10 points, the proportions with miserable outcomes (mRS score, 5 to 6) were 0, 2, 5, 70, and 100 percent, respectively. Similar results were seen with external validation.
"The DRAGON score is valid at our site and was reliable externally," the authors write.
Several authors disclosed financial ties to pharmaceutical companies. One author disclosed involvement with patents related to the study subject matter.

Packers wide receiver not excelling at camp Aaron Wilson
Green Bay Packers wide receiver Randall Cobb hasn't displayed sure hands so far in training camp.
An all-purpose star, Cobb dropped 10 passes last season to lead the Packers, according to the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel.
Packers coach Mike McCarthy defended Cobb.
"Randall Cobb catches the football very well," McCarthy said. "He might drop a ball. I don't know if there's a concern. But it's something we spend a lot of time on. We need to catch the football better....I've never been part of a perimeter group that accepts anything less than being 100 percent, and that's what we're striving for. As far as Randall Cobb's evaluation of catching the football, he has very good hands."
Cobb has already dropped at least four passes since the start of training camp..
So, what's the issue.
"We'll just continue to make that the primary emphasis for us," receivers coach Edgar Bennett said. "Catching the football, how we're catching the football, attacking the ball, not allowing the ball to cross our eyes, looking the ball all the way in. But he had two today that he definitely shouldn't have. Sometimes, guys might lose that and just take their eyes off of it as far as getting ready to run.
"Generally, sometimes that's what happens. Instead of looking the ball all the way into the tuck, they get ready to see where the defender's coming from and not put the ball away and look the ball all the way in. We'll address what happens and we'll clean it up and we should be fine. It's not an issue. It won't be an issue."

Fashion is important for me because it helps me with my confidence. I could wake up in a totally crappy mood but once I put on a cute blouse and cardigan my mood goes up and I'm happy. Sounds a bit funny but its true. Hasn't this happened to you? We dress to how we feel. Not only can it help with my confidence but its a way to express myself and show how I want to be seen by the world ( BTW the "Don't judge a book by its cover" expression doesn't work! were human its our first instinct to judge! we just choose to ignore it at times.) Anyway... That's why fashion is important to me, what about you?

Kim Kardashian: Pregnant?!?!?!?!?by Hilton Hater at . Comments
Kim Kardashian is not pregnant.
We know this comes as shocking news to anyone who believes supermarket tabloids, but it turns out the latest issue of OK! Weekly simply forgot to include a few words in the following headline.
The magazine clearly cut Kim off when she said: I'm having a baby... that I plan to exploit and from whom I'll milk millions of dollars at some point in the near future.
While an anonymous source supposedly told the tabloid that Kim is "absolutely in a hurry" to procreate, we'll need more evidence than a misleadingly-typed headline in order for us to believe that she and Kris Humphries are expecting.
And, when that day does come, we'll pray for the future of mankind.
UPDATE: Incredibly, we were right: Kim has blogged that she is NOT pregnant, adding: "Magazines can be so tricky with their wording! The inside states that one day I want a baby! But I'm not pregnant!"
There is no end to this whore and her drama!
Seriously.... Who gives a shit...
either you are or you aren't. There's really no area

Today, Twitch is proud to announce collaboration with the Apex World Circuit, the largest international tournament series for Super Smash Bros. and one of North America's premier competitive gaming events.

The authenticity and raw passion exhibited by Smashers around the globe is palpable, and Apex embodies this passion.
What does Twitch's sponsorship of Apex mean for the Smash community? Twitch has committed $14,000 in pot bonuses for the Smash Bros.

Twitch Gives Broadcasters a 1-Up for Extra LifeOct 09 2014
Over the years, Twitch has been a huge supporter of broadcasted charity gaming marathons. One in particular, Extra Life, has been a massive success. During Extra Life's organized National Game Day, thousands of gamers simultaneously partake in gaming for up to 25 hours straight, benefitting sick and injured kids treated at the 170 Children's Miracle Network (CMN) hospitals across the United States and Canada.
This year, Extra Life is at it again. On October 25 (and again going for 24+ hours), gamers will play in efforts to raise money for the specific CMN hospital of their choice, and Twitch is ready to help #ForTheKids!

DJs Steve Aoki and Borgore Drop the…Gloves?Sep 25 2014
Two men enter, one man ragequit, or whatever someone does when they lose a live streamed Street Fighter competition. This Sunday, dance floor titans Steve Aoki and Borgore will face off in Capcom's Ultra Street Fighter IV with the victor determined by the best of five matches.
Why are they doing this? According to the tale of the Tweet, Aoki called out Borgore to take him on in a fighting game, and we, of course, egged them both on to settle it on Twitch.
This showdown will be hosted by our own Mike Ross, partnership lead for Twitch's fighting game community, as well as a veteran competitor, host, and commentator. Because Steve and Borgore are both stars in the EDM scene, Ross will be heavily focused on the event's BPMs (beatings per minute).
Steve made his bones on Twitch with his live concert and the mesmerizing dance party emotes that took over his chat, while Borgore regularly showcases his love for Counter-Strike: Global Offensive. Both love music and both love games, but do they love each other? Only time will tell…and that time is listed below.
Date: Sunday, September 28th
Time: 12:00pm PT / 3:00pm ET
Where: www.twitch.com/steveaoki and www.twitch.tv/borgore

Follow Games You LoveSep 18 2014
We've got another community-requested feature to deliver! Many of you requested the desire to follow a specific game. Thus, we bring you Following Games.
Now you can follow your favorite games just like you follow individual broadcasters. We think this will lead to new levels of discovery. By following a game, you could discover a new broadcaster, then follow them, and then the rest of your life is bliss.
To jumpstart your use of the awesome new feature, we've created a dialog that you can access from our main nav or the Following directory. From there you can select as many games as you want from a randomized list of popular games at the time. You can also navigate to any game's directory page and click Follow to add that game to your list.
Once added, you can can access your followed games from the "Followed Games" section in the main nav or via your Following directory. It's. Just. That. Easy.
We can't wait to see how you'll use this feature as it has already changed the browsing habits of a lot of us here at Twitch.
Happy following!

We recently received this question from an enlightened community member: "I've been reading about magnesium deficiencies. What are your thoughts on this?"
Magnesium has been getting a lot of attention lately, and apparently everyone is deficient. So what's the deal? Is this legit or is this overrated?
Winter is my least favorite season. You would think that my rage alone would be enough to keep me warm until April but, sadly, it does not.
But you know what? I finally figured out that there are things I can do and buy to ease my winter blues. I listed them below. I asked Rachel and Joy as well for things they use and look forward to when the weather turns cold.
WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING ABOUT USAnne's Testimonial from Third Space on Vimeo.
"I started the acupuncture treatment for two reasons. One was for bad headaches and the other one was the need for preventive care. And it helped both of my needs. I am now off headache medication and I am feeling a lot healthier. The treatment also taught me how to get to know me inside as well so I could actually communicate with my body." ~ Sun
"As a crazy scientist who works 10 to 12 hours a day, I realized that swimming and walking the dogs was not providing enough balance to keep me sane. I discovered the Body Flow class, a blend of yoga, tai chi, and Pilates, taught by Sam Dublin. After a few sessions, I quickly learned to appreciate Sam's in-depth knowledge, customer-oriented teaching style, and gentle way of encouragement and support. Her approach to instructing a class that is composed of a wide range of students' skills and ages is all-inclusive, yet highly effective. I love the class and hope more weekly sessions will be added that fit my busy schedule." ~ Franziska

One of the largest utilities in Brazil has 80 Mark V Circuit-Switchers installed on their transmission system — custom-engineered to mount on 50-foot-high tower structures. A recent expansion of their system called for the installation of three new Mark V Circuit-Switchers and retrofitting of two existing Mark III Circuit-Switchers. The five Circuit-Switchers were to be furnished with automation controls that would allow them to be operated by the utility's SCADA system. The challenge: finding a cost-effective way to provide control power to the associated Type CS-1A Switch Operators. Continue reading

Slippery Slope
I was worried the moment people started to talk about taking the guns away from the crazies. This is the wrong approach for many reasons. The first (and most important) being that the right to bear arms shall not be infringed. Please note the absolute lack of any restrictive speech when talking about the 2nd amendment. It does not say anything about being able minded, able bodied, etc. You have the right to protect yourself.... period. Crazy or not.
The second problem with this is the definition of crazy. Of course anyone being prescribed "anti crazy pills" of any kind are going to be the first to be sucked into this type of lawmaking and the first to lose their rights. It is very unfortunate but they are the easiest targets. But where does the crazy train end? I would argue that all people go through levels of crazy every day. Being stuck in traffic for instance can drive anyone mad if stuck long enough when you have to be somewhere. SO, when you describe crazy, what exactly does it mean. Am I crazy? Are You? Aren't we all?
The other big problem will now be of those needing mental help but unwilling to get it. Anyone needing mental health experts are going to think twice and probably not act when it comes to mental health. Why? Because as soon as they do, they will lose their right to defend themselves. Its very sad....

Published Date Written by Jim Lewis
There are several noble professions, but few truly heroic ones. How many of us put our life on the line in our work? Police officers, firefighters, emergency responders do. And, of course, soldiers, sailors, airmen and women, military personnel who serve our country, defend our freedom and keep us safe.
These people have earned, through their dedication, our respect and gratitude. So when we learned that we published the incorrect name of a former infantry officer who spoke during a Veterans Day observance at Middletown Area Middle School, we decided to do more than run a short correction. We decided to reprint the article in its entirety.
It is an unusual step for a newspaper to take. And all newspapers make mistakes – as long as they are produced by human beings, who are imperfect, they will make them. All good newspapers correct errors. The Press And Journal corrects any factual error it publishes, as do other papers.
By reprinting the article with the speaker's correct name, we believe we accurately share his accomplishments and words. It seemed right to us: As chroniclers of history, among our other functions as a newspaper, we should accurately tell the story of someone like Eric Fegley, the speaker at the middle school program, for posterity, and a correction appearing separately from our article about his accomplishments and speech seemed lacking.
You can find the reprinted article on page A2 in this edition.
Fegley, of Middletown, spent eight years as an infantry officer in the Army, serving in Afghanistan and Bosnia and Herzegovina during his military career. A 1991 graduate of Middletown Area High School, he earned the Bronze Star, Combat Infantryman Badge, Ranger Tab, Expert Infantryman Badge and Meritorious Service Medal.
His Veterans Day speech on Tuesday, Nov. 11 at the middle school was part of what has become a very impressive observance of the holiday. The program included an impressive video that showed the faces, one by one, of every veteran from Middletown who has been killed in action in conflicts from World War I on.
It wasn't the only Veterans Day celebration at a Middletown school: Seven Sorrows School provided a pancake breakfast to veterans and active military personnel associated with the school and Seven Sorrows BVM Church. Students created thank-you cards for participants.
Honoring our veterans is a great opportunity to teach history – and respect. Schools seem to be observing Veterans Day more and more. As a nation, our respect for our heroes seems to have swelled as we've better understood what they have done for us in their service. We hope our reprint is in that same spirit of respect.

add water mark to a gallery in joomla
ignite does it awesomely
also I had N ISSUE, but my subscription had ended but none the less they very gently agreed to help me out and solve the issue, and they site works nicely
howver they need to imrpove the way it makes the water mark look, since you need a lot of test and error to finnaly get it to look the way you want
also it would be awesome to add some visual effects for transition
but it worked awesomely

The beauty of the product is it can automatically resize uploaded images into pre-determined sizes. It also allows for easy categorization of images, in my case "art", "craft" and "youth art". These categories can then have their own sub-categories. The multiple upload function also makes it very easy to process many images at once.
The control and flexibility that the user has over the presentation of images, made it ideal for my application. Features such as the 'facebook like" button and the integration with the comments systems, really help to promote the site.
The watermarking feature is also a plus, especially for art / photography based websites.
I tried many other galleries before finding Ignite Gallery. This one was by far the best - worth every cent.
Best feature is the ability to throttle photo uploads for clue-less clients. Can be set to re-size huge photos client-side prior to site upload. Works fast and saves a huge amount of server storage space.
Did have a problem with front-end photo management but didn't pursue to resolution since the client did not require this feature. Seems to be a jQuery conflict.

Cant believe I spent so much time trying to tinker the free components when this just works on install.
Too easy to install, easy to add images, create galleries (categories) and profiles (gallery views).
Easy facebook commenting and like buttons. Easy to add descriptions for images. I found just adding descriptions on images in other galleries a total head explosion.
If you don't want to waste countless hours trying to get your gallery working or having to memorise codes for your articles to display your gallery, just buy this.
All you got to know is what pictures you want to put in your site, everything else with this component is easy. NO NEED TO LEARN CODE! just have to choose from a bunch of options.
The one thing I'd really like to talk about is the support. One feature that I wanted was missing, and it was promptly added. I also asked about a minor change and was promptly told how to do it. All questions, even off-topic ones about Joomla configuration, were quickly answered in detail. Just great.

Biz Stone, Twitter co-founder of Twitter was holding court for reporters in the UK and started to talk about all the things that Twitter followers obsess over including the big one: revenue.
Stone said that an IPO is not OOTQ (out of the question) but it's also not on the front burner. In fact, he said something that is the truth but comes off a little strange (possibly arrogant?) considering how most of the rest of the planet is struggling. Reuters reports
Twitter, the social internet firm that tracks trends through individuals' updates of events around them, may eventually go to the stock market for funding if necessary, its co-founder Biz Stone said.

Picture yourself spending some time with congenial friends, sharing your lives and pictures from your cell phones." They're curious about that cool game, song, movie, camping trip, art show, or other event that fascinated you. You talk about all kinds of stuff, poetry, styles, personal achievements, relationships, and bad days. You can share your inner child, and laugh together. They sympathetically listen to your feelings about serious topics like politics or climate change, even when they don't agree.
Personal validation comes from paying attention to one another, giving more than you get. Everyone respects you and themselves, despite our amazing range of personal tastes and interests. They'll tell you they don't agree with an idea or behavior without implying you're a bad person or somehow deficient. It's an "I'm OK, You're OK" kind of fellowship, where nobody tries to make himself look better by picking on somebody else.
Nobody here is into mind games. A discussion started with a loaded guilt-throwing question will be deleted.
This group is not intended to compete with other groups on topics they cover but to "fill in the cracks." Whenever a discussion dwells at length on a topic for which there's an existing group, we urge you to provide members a link to that group to continue along their tangent.
A comment is a shout-out, which will get lost in a few days, because the comment wall is just a random stack.
Please start a discussion to share stories, photos, and videos. Replies will pop up in your "latest activity" and a conversation can develop from the feelings and thoughts you contributed. Groups are built on discussions.

Joan, glad you subscribed. Some of the videos are awesome. This a.m. I have to go over to my Mom's. My daughter and the guy she is dating are going to watch a movie here. Our house is small, they both live at home still, and they are both broke. So they really have no where to hang-out. I volunteered to run errands. There won't be any "funny business", lol because they just started dating, and my daughter has a bad head cold. They are both 21 though. They used to date when they were 14. I would have left them alone then too because one reason she broke up with him was that he never even kissed her once. LOL
Thanks Tony. That was wonderful.
Thanks Mindy for the SoulPancake site. I subscribed. It looks like fun!
Great videos, and I love the climbing cat with a "cattitude" Steph! I love flash-mobs! I watch videos on my iPhone a lot right before I go to sleep, because the nice ones make me happy. There is a channel called SoulPancake, and there is a young woman on there with her musicians, and they'll just stand-up and start singing and dancing, like in a Dr.'s waiting-room. People start singing and clapping with them. They did one on a street full of the homeless, and passed-out new socks, sandwiches, and water to homeless people. A lot of them started dancing, singing, and smiling. Great stuff.

On Monday the Menomonie school board voted to approve the creation of a network of bike trails at the Bjornson Environmental site. The 443-acre Bjornson Environmental Site is located on N6945 160th St. With this vote of approval the trail formation process will begin with logging this fall and a number of trails should be open in the fall of 2015.
The School district has been working along side the Chippewa Valley Off Road Bicycle Association and the Menomonie Area Mountain Bike Association (MAMBA) to develop the trails. Here at the Community Foundation we are proud to see the project move forward. In August the CFDC awarded a grant to MAMBA help with the purchase of much needed equipment to maintain these trails.

Community Foundation Week, created in 1989 by former president George H.W. Bush, recognizes the work of community foundations throughout America and their collaborative approach to working with the public, private, and nonprofit sectors to address community problems.
FACT: The community foundation field is one of the fastest growing philanthropic sectors in the United States today. Community foundations build and strengthen communities in a multitude of ways, including providing the means for a wide range of donors to create permanent funds to meet critical needs. Though the first community foundation was launched just 100 years ago in Cleveland, Ohio, today there are more than 750 community foundations in the United States.]]>
The midterm elections are here, which means Congress returns to D.C. in less than 2 weeks. After they return on November 12, your members of Congress will only have about three work weeks remaining in the year.
The America Gives More Act is the most significant bill for the charitable sector in years. The bill has already passed the House and the Senate has signaled strong support for several of its provisions. This means we have a genuine opportunity to get lawmakers to include the bill in the tax extenders package expected to be enacted before the end of the year.
This bill is important to us at the Community Foundation because it will make permanent, tax-free distributions from individual retirement accounts (IRAs) for charitable purposes.
It's critical that supporters of Community Foundations step up to urge lawmakers to include the America Gives More Act in any tax extenders package they consider during the last few weeks of the year!

Little things matter in a big way in the small town of Glenwood City, Wisconsin. Recently the Community Foundation of Dunn County funded a new two-way radio for the main vehicle of the town's Ambulance service.
Prior to receiving the grant money to purchase a two-way radio, their main ambulance was equipped with just one radio in the cab area, which only the driver could access. The back of the ambulance, where the technicians tend to the patients, had been equipped only with a speaker and microphone. While this may seem like a minor issue, it was a major safety concern for Julie Lee and Charlene Draxler. Julie and Charlene are directors of the local ambulance service. They are volunteer EMS technicians and put in long shifts during the winter months. The new two-way radio allows the technicians to switch stations to communicate with corresponding hospitals or service vehicles. This ease of access frees up the driver to focus on driving and traffic communications, creating a much safer environment for all on board the ambulance.
You may not know, is that the Glenwood City EMS team consists of volunteer citizens who have regular day jobs. They can be called on a moment's notice to help save a life. The grant money has allowed these dedicated individuals to carry out their tasks effectively.
Due to the size of their town, the remote surrounding area, and the nature of the program, Glenwood City Ambulance Service relies on these types of grants to keep their medical equipment up to date and functional. The Glenwood City Ambulance Service covers an area of 126 square miles including the town of Glenwood City, Village of Downing, Town of Emerald, and portions of Tiffany, Springfield and Forest, accounting for a response area of roughly 3,665 citizens. Glenwood City is a 25-30 minute drive from a hospital in any direction, making their link in emergency care vital. Without the generous support of the Community Foundation, these individuals wouldn't be able to complete their job successfully and in a safe manner.

Recently our photographer Laura Giammattei was given the opportunity to take a look at the Tainter and Menomin Lakes with Dick Lamers. She was able to see how The Tainter/Menomin Lake Improvement Association(TMLIA) plans to use the grant they received .
2018 is the year TMLIA has set to make the waters of Lakes Menomin and Tainter clean and safe. Education is of key importance to accomplishing this goal. Other organizations within Dunn County and the state of Wisconsin are also working with TMLIA to make this goal a reality.
The grant requested from TMLIA was to assist funding "The Red Cedar: Land, Water & People Coming Together Conference" in July 2013. The funds went directly towards travel expenses for three key experts to attend this conference. Two of these experts were brought to this conference from Iowa. They had started and were mentoring a program called Farmer Led Councils. This new program is being used as a guide for the initiative in Northwest Wisconsin to clean up the Red Cedar watershed. This program brings farmers together on a volunteer basis to work on how they personally can impact the quality of water in their immediate area.
The third expert brought in was Professor Haans Paerl out of the University of North Carolina. He is a national and international expert on blue-green algea. He stated that blue-green algea is not just a rising problem in our Red Cedar watershed, but lakes all over the country and overseas as well. This matter is a global issue that has been getting more attention as the years go on. His hope is that this issue continues to attract more attention, thus creating more solutions.
One other professional that was brought to this conference with the grant fund was from the Wisconsin Wetlands Association. He spoke about how people are getting involved and creating solutions and hopes that more people will take initiative and join future projects.
Education is key, and is expanding as more conferences are held and more residents are attending. At the July 2013 conference, over 260 were in attendance and an additional 90 were streaming the conference online. While this is a wonderful turnout, there are still over 44 thousand Dunn County residents that are not aware of this initiative or even how much of a problem this algea is for our health and economy.
To put it in perspective, the DNR has said they track 100 recreational days in the summertime. Lake Menomin/Tainter is imparied for 92 of these 100 days. The goal is to reduce that number to less than 26 days of impairment.
As these conference continue, so does the educating of the public. These conferences have
thus far created attention throughout the state(as far north as Hayward, south to Madison, east to Green Bay and west into the Twin Cities).
Currently, one of the major ongoing projects is the Farmer Led Council. This organization specifically targets certain erosion zones(there are currently 58 erosion sites along the Red Cedar River in Dunn County alone) where phospherous is being dumped into the river and carried into Lake Menomin and Lake Tainter. Thirty five feet of sedement enters these waters annually. The biggest obstacle currently, is getting funding to fix and clean up these sites and lower the amount of sedement entering the river.
