We've made a great deal of progress on the construction of the new hospital and the interior finishing. Here's a closer look at some of the progress this past week.

This week's photos highlight the interior work, including paint, tile, casework and other architectural features. The warm colors of the interior walls are carried over to the rooftop gardens to create a calm and healing environment for patients.

The crews are taking a little extra time off to share the holidays with family, but that hasn't stopped us from admiring the tremendous progress on the new medical center and adjacent medical office building. Here's a closer look at one of the pedestrian bridges linking the two buildings, soon to be fully connected.

While the new hospital building looks virtually complete from the exterior, the steel erection for the medical office building continues. This week, the crew will hold their "topping off" ceremony, when they complete the highest point in the steel frame. This is an exciting milestone and shows how far the project has come along in a short time. The building will be home to many of the hospital's administrative services, as well as an urgent care center and physician offices.
Here's a closer look at construction of the pedestrian bridge linking the medical office building to the new hospital:
Meanwhile, the interior work continues in the new hospital building. We previously posted photos of the main lobby ceiling framework. Here is the progress since then, showing the build out of the lobby space today.
Work also continues on the grounds and around the campus. Part of the community improvements made as part of this construction project has been to install much-needed sidewalks along the site on Stanton Avenue. The sidewalk is now installed and landscaping will soon begin, making the area not only safer, but much more appealing for our neighbors.
From all of us at Eden Medical Center, thank you to the men and women who serve our country and preserve our freedoms.
Here's a story to warm your heart:
11-11-11 only happens once in century. But this story may only happen once in a millennium! Baby Emma was born at Eden Medical Center today at 12:12 p.m. weighing in at 6 pounds, 6 ounces and had an APGAR score of 9-9. But that's not all. Emma's parents, Elizabeth and Rafael, are both veterans! They met in the Army and later served in the National Guard, where Rafael still serves. All babies are miraculous, but the stars and planets definitely aligned for this growing family. Congratulations and thank you for allowing us to share in this amazing day.
How BIM is changing construction
An interview with Michael Pearson, BIM Manager for DPR Construction, from our YouTube channel.
A look at how Operational Process Redesign is changing how we work and is improving the hospital experience
by Cassandra Clark, Project Communications Director
With only 13 months remaining before our anticipated move-in date, Eden Medical Center is intensively planning every aspect of the transition. But moving into a new hospital doesn't mean taking with us all of our old systems and ways of doing work. Our employees, physicians and hospital leaders are taking a whole new look at our work processes with the goal to better support the hospital's mission and improve the way we care for patients – now and in the future.
Our Process Redesign experts do more than look at a specific task. They examine the entire process of providing a service to a person. The employees, physicians and managers performing these tasks are the experts who focus on re-designing the process as a whole in order to achieve the greatest possible benefits to the hospital and ultimately for our patients. The goal is to realize dramatic improvements by fundamentally re-thinking how the organization's work should be done, rather than focusing on just one specific task improvement.
Leading Eden's Process Redesign effort is Shelly Young, RN, MHA, CNOR. We sat down with Shelly to learn more about the work she's doing at Eden.
Q. Tell us about you.
I have totally embraced Lean and Six Sigma, what we call Operational Process Redesign, because it provides a way to help groups of people from all areas of the hospital solve their own problems in a way that works for everyone.
During my years as a Registered Nurse in the operating room, people who didn't understand my job were dictating how to care for patients without consideration of how the work was accomplished, often making the work harder. Hoping to facilitate what I thought should be "dictated," I went back to school. Then, as a member of administration, I still found physicians or patients unhappy with the admin-driven processes. Now, as a Lean Six Sigma Black Belt, I can help develop effective, helpful solutions by coaching teams of people who do the work and know how it will fit into their existing processes.
Q. What do you want people to know about Process Redesign?
It works! It really works! Using a scientific approach to solving problems, in a way that brings together representatives from each role in a process, we come up with solutions that would not have been discovered any other way. People with different roles in the hospital sit down and solve problems together.
Q. What do you want from employees?
Participation. I want ALL employees to participate. We need employees at the table because they are the experts at their jobs. The people who do the work are very aware of the things that don't work for them in their everyday work processes, and they often have great ideas for making it better.
Q. What's the best lesson you have learned?
The smallest, simplest fixes can make the biggest difference. The simplest solutions will improve a process throughout the entire hospital. It doesn't have to cost a lot of money or require big staffing changes to make a better process. We just have to organize ourselves to be more efficient to get care to patients in a healthy and safe way and, at the same time, create an ideal work environment for staff and physicians.
Q. What do you want to achieve here at Eden?
I want to help Eden employees understand how to make this difference. We care about our patients, about humanity and the future of health care. If we can create something at Eden that works for us, it can serve as a model that can work anywhere else in the country. We could change health care! It's so simple. We don't always have to spend millions of dollars in equipment to manage the process, we just have to listen to the people who do the work and remove everyday obstacles that keep them from getting their jobs done. Simple solutions will help us all be better prepared to move into our new, state-of-the art hospital.
I love what I do. I love making a difference for people I don't even know. I'm excited to share this awareness that process redesign is not rocket science. Some solutions are very simple, some are huge, but most important, those solution come from a team of people who are involved in the work. It's what sets Eden Medical Center apart and above.
Stay tuned: We'll take a closer look at some of the Process Redesign teams in progress and follow their success over the next year.
While we haven't been able to post for a while, we've still been working on construction of the new hospital. The progress has been amazing, both inside and outside of the new facility. This past month, we broke ground on the medical office building that will connect to the hospital and be home to many hospital administrative services, physicians and an Urgent Care Center.
Interior work is progressing at a rapid pace. In some areas of the hospital, such as Women's Health, crews have already painted the walls, installed the flooring and finished details such as the tile in the showers. As you move to the upper floors, the work is focused on wall framing, mechanical, electrical and plumbing and the intricacies of the above-ceiling mechanics for items such as patient lift systems.
We're pleased to show you some new images of the work in progress. We'll post more images and articles on a regular basis.

The land for the new medical office building has been cleared and the pad is being graded to make room for the construction to begin in September.
The kitchen is taking shape as the heavy equipment arrives. The bread and pizza oven is set into place:
The kitchen hoods are set:
The large walk-in freezers are also set into place:
Site Clearing Begins for Medical Office Building
Work begins on Monday, August 1, to grade the land in preparation for the new Medical Office Building adjacent to the hospital construction. We'll be changing the WebCam to show the work on that end of the construction site. Just so you don't miss the new hospital in the meantime, we'll maintain a glimpse of the main hospital where most major exterior work on the building is complete.
To make room for this 80,000-square-foot building, crews will move the fencing outward and begin clearing the site. The fence along the parking garage will be moved out, eliminating the pedestrian walkway along the vehicle exit. As a result, all pedestrians will be directed to the temporary wood bridge for safe crossing to the Emergency Department entrance.
Groundbreaking for the new building is expected in mid-September, and work will continue for approximately 14 months. When complete, the building will have three pedestrian bridges to the new hospital for better access by physicians and staff.
Work also continues around the campus as the underground utilities are installed. Please proceed with caution when driving on campus!

Company store historian to speak in Thurber
Tarleton State University
Tuesday, September 25, 2012
STEPHENVILLE, Texas—Dr. Gene Rhea Tucker, adjunct professor of history at the University of Texas at Arlington, will discuss his new book, Oysters, Macaroni, and Beer: Thurber, Texas and the Company Store, at a free, public program at 2:30 p.m. Oct. 14 at the W.K. Gordon Center in Thurber.
Every aspect of life in Thurber's heyday, roughly the 1880s until the 1930s, revolved around the Texas Pacific Coal Company. It owned the mines and brick plant where the citizens worked, the homes where they lived and the power plant that supplied their electricity. It also owned the Texas Pacific Mercantile and Manufacturing Company, which operated a variety of commercial enterprises such as the hardware store, grocery, drug store and saloons.
Tucker attended Tarleton State University, earning both a bachelor's and a master's degree in history. From Tarleton he went on to the University of Texas at Arlington where he received his Ph.D. in transatlantic history.
While completing the thesis for his master's degree, Tucker spent many hours poring over Texas Pacific Coal Company ledgers, listening to oral interviews and reading newspaper accounts in order to develop a well-rounded picture of life in Thurber. He specifically examined the relations between workers and the company that paid their salaries and then earned further income by supplying their needs.
The program will be followed by a book signing.
The Gordon Center is a museum and research facility of Tarleton State University located at exit 367 on Interstate 20 midway between Fort Worth and Abilene. Motorists from the west should leave I-20 at exit 363 to avoid construction delays.
Regular hours for the Center are from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesdays to Saturdays and 1 to 4 p.m. on Sundays. For more information, call 254-968-1886.

Queensryche Releases Short Film Featuring New Songs [VIDEO]
The band, now fronted by Todd La Torre, has put together a short film entitled "Ad Lucem" that features brand new tunes off the band's latest album. Check it out here.
The four songs, "Spore", "X2″, "Midnight Lullaby", and "A World Without", are all off of the latest album, which is self-titled.
The movie clip runs clock in at just over 11 minutes, and it's interesting to say the least. I honestly think it's pretty cool when bands do stuff like this.
The new songs don't sound bad at all, even when acting as a soundtrack. Kick back and check out the video…

Most of us recognize intuitively and by observation that we are broken. We enter adulthood carrying emotional scars from our childhood that directly affect our ability to live healthy adult lives and invariably get passed on to our own children, continuing the vicious cycle—a cycle author Henry Yoder dates back to the garden of Eden.
But most of us also have the intuition deep within ourselves that life was meant to be more than our experience of brokenness, that this brokenness was not originally intended. Where does that intuition come from? Is it purely wishful thinking you haven't been able to put away, even through all your pain? Or is it possible that God has pressed His image into you so deeply that even after all you've experienced, the Longing for Eden is still in your soul?
Join Henry Yoder as he describes God's original intention for you as a creature formed in God's image and likeness, invites you to examine the cause of your brokenness, and offers a way forward toward the wholeness you long for.

FORT HOOD — At 7 p.m. Sunday at Cooper Field, tears flowed down 8-year-old Madison Dancer's face as she tightly clutched her mother, Brittany Dancer, waiting for her father, Pfc. Darrell Dancer, 4th Brigade Special Troops Battalion, 4th Brigade Combat Team, 1st Cavalry Division, to return from a nine-month deployment to Afghanistan.
"It was a nine-month deployment, but he's been gone eight months, four days," Brittany Dancer said. "I'm planning on running very fast (after the buses come), just so you know."
Darrell Dancer's brigade deployed in November on an advise-and-assist mission to help Afghans take control of their country's security by the end of 2014. Lt. Col. Hope Rampy, commander of the 4th Brigade Special Troops Battalion, said more than 100 soldiers returned Sunday, and more than 115 soldiers landed Saturday.
It was interesting to work alongside Afghan soldiers, using military intelligence technology such as unmanned aircraft to clear routes, she said. Afghans work hard and loyally serve their country, and should be ready to control it by 2015, after taking the lead in all operations in recent months.
"The biggest challenge was getting it Afghan-right vs. U.S.-right," Rampy said.
During Darrell Dancer's longest time apart from his family, it was difficult for Brittany Dancer to run a one-parent, three-child household, all while hearing frightening news reports about the war, she said. She resigned her job as a Child Protective Services case worker while attending graduate school full time.
"Seeing as how we've never been apart, it was very depressing, very hard," Brittany Dancer said. "I cried the whole way here. The four-hour drive from Houston was the longest drive of my life."
After a three-count from Maj. Gen. Anthony R. Ierardi, commander, 1st Cavalry Division, Darrell Dancer, 35, embraced family members after missing his and Brittany's 10-year wedding anniversary May 12, Madison's eighth birthday, and Christmas, Brittany Dancer said.
He also couldn't take his 15-year-old son, Zachary, on the regular fishing and dinner trips he cherishes.
To make up for lost time, the family planned homecoming and anniversary parties, as well as a vacation to Galveston, Brittany Dancer said.
"(Being away) was pretty taxing, pretty tough," Darrell Dancer said. "I'm glad to be home."

Medical research must put public interests before commercial decisions, warns pharmaceutical facultyDoctors employed by pharmaceutical companies must always put the best interests of patients before their medical research, even if it brings them into conflict with their employers, according to new practical advice from the Faculty of Pharmaceutical Medicine published in the February issue of IJCP.
The Ethical Issues Committee of the Faculty - part of the UK's Royal Colleges of Physicians - has also endorsed the move towards registering all clinical trials before studies are initiated and called for all results to be reported.
"Sometimes doctors working in clinical research find themselves facing difficult ethical dilemmas, especially if the company they work for decides not to publish negative research findings" says Committee Member Dr Ken Paterson from the Department of Clinical Pharmacology at Glasgow's Royal Infirmary in Scotland.
"These situations place a heavy burden on individuals and our practical advice aims to give them external backing when they need to take a stand."
The Faculty's paper provides practical day-to-day advice for doctors working in pharmaceutical research, based on the organisation's recently developed guiding ethical principles, which appear in the same issue of IJCP.
This advice stresses that publication of any results should be agreed between the sponsor and the researcher before the clinical trial starts.
"Sponsors have an ethical responsibility to publish or make available negative research findings which may affect prescribing practices, especially if the medication is already on the market" says co-author and Committee Chair Dr Roger Bickerstaffe, Global Vice President for Solvay Pharmaceuticals, Luxembourg.
"The advent of the Internet means that pharmaceutical companies now have a vehicle for publicising their own results to a mass audience, so there is no excuse for withholding negative results.
"Medical practitioners working in pharmaceutical medicine are bound by the same ethical standards which apply to all doctors, regardless of whether they are working for a company, regulatory body or academic institution" he adds.
"Our guidance clearly places the doctor's responsibility to patients and society ahead of their allegiance to an individual employer."
The aim of the Faculty of Pharmaceutical Medicine, which was established in 1989, is: "To advance the science and practice of pharmaceutical medicine by working to develop and maintain competence, ethics and integrity and the highest professional standards in the specialty for the benefit of the public."
"Both we and the Faculty hope that the material published in IJCP will provide support and advice for physicians and other professionals working in pharmaceutical medicine and that it will stimulate wider discussion and debate on the key issues" says Chris Graf, Publisher of IJCP, the International Journal of Clinical Practice.
Further information and press copies of the two IJCP paper are available from Annette Whibley, Wizard Communications [email protected]

Soak up some scent.
Sniffing bergamot, an essential citrus oil, can lower your blood pressure and heart rate, according to researchers. Add six to 10 drops to your bath. Don't like the smell of bergamot? Try lavender, sage, or rose.
Be a social butterfly.
Not only can brunches with your gal pals lower your blood pressure and reduce depression, but also hanging with friends cuts the stress levels of everyone in the group. (Plus, animal studies suggest that socially isolated mice develop a more aggressive type of breast cancer, likely from higher levels of stress hormones.)

Our laboratory is investigating the mechanism of memory disruption and synaptic dysfunction in Alzheimer's Disease. We use a combination of cell culture and transgenic animal approaches in an attempt to understand why the overexpression of the amyloid precursor protein (APP) or direct application of its active peptide, A-beta, inhibits intracellular signaling in neuronal cells and leads to alterations of electrical activity, dendritic spine morphology and behavior. These results are extended with analyses of neurons taken from post-mortem Alzheimer's Disease brains. In the past two years our attention has been on the PKA-CREB signaling pathway and on the role of ubiquitin c-terminal hydrolase-L1 (Uch-L1) in regulating these events. We have used both drugs and protein transduction techniques to show that A-beta induced changes, both in culture and in the animal, can be reversed by restoring these pathways to their normal "balance". Other projects involve the induction of neurogenesis in neural stem cells by A-beta raising the possibility of an endogenous repair mechanism in AD, and the analysis of the action of the ginkgolides on neuronal function. The laboratory approaches these questions with a wide range of tools including biochemistry, cell biology, physiology and microscopy.

Mead: State will keep going with energy policy planNov 20, 2012 By Ben Neary, The Associated Press
CHEYENNE -- Wyoming Gov. Matt Mead is pushing forward with development of an energy policy for the state, saying he can't keep criticizing the federal government for failing to chart the nation's energy future without having the state's own house in order.
Energy is the economic lifeblood of Wyoming, a leading producer of coal, uranium and other resources. Taxes on energy production fund the bulk of government operations in the state, which imposes no personal or corporate income tax.
Yet Wyoming also has to deal with the effects of the industry. For example, biologists for years have said drilling and other development have caused sharp declines in the population of sage grouse in Wyoming and elsewhere.
State officials are anxious to avoid seeing the bird listed as an endangered species in coming years, which could crimp energy production.
Mead's staff has been meeting with Wyoming energy companies as well as conservation groups and others since early summer to get development of an energy policy rolling.
Shawn Reese, Mead's policy director, said Monday the planning process has identified four major themes for the policy: Economic competiveness; efficient regulation; natural resource conservation; and development of new technologies.
Reese said the governor's office intends to release a number of draft initiatives in coming weeks to be followed by public meetings in early December.
Mead previously said initiatives must be specific enough for state government to be accountable in executing the strategy.

Bring a double length sling or some cord to equalize them if you plan on TRing. Two quickdraws are not ideal on this anchor.

Cape Town - Social workers have visited the 80-year-old Parkwood woman neighbours claim is being kept in her council flat against her will.
Melany Kuhn, spokeswoman for Social Development MEC Albert Fritz, said a team of social workers visited the flat on Tuesday to assess the situation and that a report would be presented to the department soon.
"I can confirm that social workers visited the granny and we are awaiting the report," Kuhn said.
On Monday, residents of Gerda Court in Parkwood told the Cape Argus that Maureen Johnson, whose mental state is said to be confused, was allegedly being kept locked up by a couple.
The couple were also alleged to be fraudulently collecting Johnson's monthly pension.
Colin Arendse, a community activist, said Johnson was confined to a single room and being "kept under lock and key".
Parkwood ward councillor Melanie Arendse said the matter was "stuck at the Grassy Park police station".
"I've been struggling to get the police to get (Johnson's) pension card and ID for the past three months," she said. "The couple refused to (hand it over) and the police just don't do anything about it."
Arendse said residents had told her and community leaders that Johnson had been "locked up" and was "sleeping in her own faeces".
Pat Lindgren, director of Action on Elder Abuse, said that if the police were not responding effectively to a complaint, anyone who knew that someone was being abused – be it physically, sexually, emotionally, psychologically or financially – should report this to the Department of Social Development.
"If the police are not doing anything about it, go to social development," Lindgren said after being told about Johnson's plight.
"It's normal that she would tell the police that everything is fine in front of her alleged abuser.
"This seems like a very extreme case, but the woman should be taken out of that situation and taken for an assessment at a hospital.
"If she's being locked up, she may be underfed or dehydrated."
Lindgren said that the other people living in the council flat should be evicted.
"Many victims of abuse fear that if they admit to the police they are being abused, the abuser may 'punish' them for speaking out."
Two years ago, the Cape Argus reported about a similar case, in which a social worker found a desperately thin elderly woman imprisoned in a windowless room in Brooklyn. The 80-year-old woman was allegedly locked by her son into a room with no running water and no electricity.
According to the social worker's report, the woman weighed only 38kg when she was found. She was later transferred to a frail care centre.
Elderly people were vulnerable to abuse, and were easily manipulated as they were dependent on relatives to care for them, Lindgren said.

Hard to believe it's been about thirty years since New Edition hit the scene with their debut album Candy Girl. The quintet out of Boston, MA–who helped pave the way for future post-Jackson 5 boy bands–started out as a trio comprised of Bobby Brown, Michael Bivins, and Ricky Bell. They later brought their buddy Ralph Tresvant to join them and finally, Ronnie DeVoe. After winning a local talent show with the ultimate prize, a recording contract, the boys hit the ground running. The single "Candy Girl" shot to number one on the U.S. R&B charts and in the U.K. Not to be victims of the sophomore jinx, their second album New Edition was released in 1984 and went to number one on the R&B chart thanks to songs like "Mr. Telephone Man" and "Cool It Now."
Now platinum artists, they enjoyed success with their third album containing the singles "A Little Bit of Love" and "Count Me Out." Bobby Brown was relieved of his duties from the group in 1985, but no matter, with songs like "My Prerogative" and "Don't Be Cruel" he went on to have a hugely successful solo career. Enter Johnny Gill a couple of years later, definitely no stranger to the music business. With Gill, the group recorded their fifth album Heart Break and hit the charts again, this time with a new image and sound and several hit singles–among them "If It Isn't Love", "You're Not My Kind of Girl", and "Can You Stand The Rain." Of course all the members of the group have definitely had their success with outside projects. Ralph Tresvant made it to the top of the charts with "Sensitivity"; Johnny Gill had one of the hottest ballads of 1990 with "My, My, My"; and with "Do Me Baby" and "Poison", Ricky Bell, Michael Bivins, and Ronnie DeVoe–a.k.a. Bell Biv DeVoe–proved not only to be hit makers but wise counselors as they shared the fervent and profound admonition "never trust a big butt and smile."

Don't for a minute hesitate to pick up the phone and call this company! First, my problem was scorpions. Right from the start they were pleasant on the phone, easy to work with in scheduling and the Technician, Katie, that came out was the best! She was prompt, knowledgeable, pleasant to work with and thorough in everything she did. Once she finished she came in and explained what she found and gave recommendations on what I should do to help alleviate the problem. Then she took me around both the outside & inside of the home to 'show' me the issues she told me about. She also wrote it all on the invoice so I would have a record of her recommendations to follow. The pricing was in line with other quotes I had. I did not hesitate to sign up for the monthly service plan!

I worked with Jon and James. Both were extremely helpful and knowlegable. Jon first came to house and did the inspection and was open to questions and educating me. James came to my house to drill and he was very professional. Strangely enough i overpaid James and two of the bills has stuck together, an hour later after he left he called me and said that i paid him an extra hundred on accident, we met up that afternoon and he gave me back the money i overpaid. I would definatly recommend this company to a friend they seemed very ethical and i got the "family owned" feeling from them. Other companies i called were very pushy and not as friendly by a long shot. Thx James and Jon !!

Called around to get quotes on scorpion treatment and Loretta had it down! She came out and did a wonderful job spraying EVERYWHERE. Also making sure to treat the places that I didn't think of (garage). We now have caught some critters in the trap boxes and are returning customers for Loretta! I will be referring everyone to her! Her knowledge is unbeatable!

Karen came to my house this morning to do an outside spray for our problem with black widows. I was taken back with how knowledgeable, friendly, and informative she was with the area as well as what she could do to help us. Karen was also kind enough to offer us a huge discount if we choose to use her again in the future. I am so grateful that I called! Thank you! Thank you!
Karen is wonderful and extremely professional. Being new to AZ, she took the time to explain everything to me about the type of bugs here, including scorpions. She even killed the scorpion for me that had crawled between the baseboard and flooring inside my house. She also treated our pets like they were her own. I will definitely recommend the service in the future.

Really not into having chemicals sprayed around my home especially with a 3 month old baby in the home. I did alot of research for pest control Phoenix exterminators and got several quotes from around town. All the exterminators focused on their price all the while Loretta from Bill's addressed my particular problems regarding this awful ant problem. Loretta had completely answered all my safety questions and it is obvious she is an expert exterminator. The targeted minimal chemical spray and the use of non toxic baits was ideal for us. Karen was the service lady and she was everything that Loretta discussed so it was obvious they a great put together operation. Karen got rid of the ant problem without making the dog sick or endangering my family in any way.

I did my research the first time I saw a termite tunnel at my home. Bills Pest and Termite truly live up to their reputation and excellent reviews. Bill showed up first (and on time) to do the first inspection and give me the bad news, yes, I had termites, but the process of getting rid of them was affordable and almost painless. Casey has been in charge of treatments and is always very punctual, friendly and professional. He answered all the questions I had and was very patient even when I was freaking out a bit (first time with termites). I am moving and I would be very happy if he was assigned to treat my new property. Lisa has handled all my questions promptly and with courtesy. I feel very confident recommending this company and will use them every time I require this type of service. Many other reviews thank other company employees, overall it seems you cannot go wrong calling them.
Posted: 2/25/2013 • Link to this review
Today my home was scheduled to be treated and the pump on their truck was broken so they got to my home late. Even though they were late and the young man named Casey had another home to treat he didn't just halfway do my home and didn't leave until everything was cleaned up and restored. I have had two homes treated by them and if I have another treated I will ask to have Casey do it.
Posted: 2/15/2013 • Link to this review
I called Bill's after reading the positive comments on another site and they all proved to be true. I especially liked that I could go on their website and request a quote and they emailed it back to me immediately with a very reasonable amount. I set up an appt on Tues and they came on Thursday at the arranged time. Dallas was our technician and he explained everything, answered our questions and was a most pleasant and professional tech. The amount quoted was the amount I paid and they give a guarantee to come and respray and drill if there are any problems in the next year. They also do a free inspection in one year. I highly recommend this company and Dallas.

Our son affectionately calls Karen & Summer "The Bug Girls". Their friendliness is perfectly balanced with their professionalism. Extremely thorough & efficient. We left Terminix due to poor customer service. Karen & Summer's upbeat, positive attitude, added to their work performance blows Terminix away, and does not make us regret the change at all. All around fantastic professional ladies. Go Bug Girls!!!

Become A Housing Hero To Help End Homelessness In Central Ohio
WBNS-10TV and The Community Shelter Board will team up again for a "Day to End Homelessness," a campaign to raise money to house homeless adults and families who are swelling Franklin County shelters beyond capacity.
On Monday, March 11, 2013, WBNS-10TV will host an all day telethon from 6 a.m. until 11:30 p.m. Donors will be able to contribute over the phone or online.
The campaign will urge Columbus-area residents to become a "Housing Hero" and contribute $1 a day or $30 a month via credit card. All money raised will support the Community Shelter Board's nationally recognized programs, including prevention and rapid re-housing.
DONATE NOW: Day To End Homelessness
The Community Shelter Board, established in 1986, is a public-private partnership organization that creates collaborations, innovates solutions and invests in quality programs in order to end homelessness in Columbus and Franklin County. CSB allocates more than $13 million annually to support homeless programs and services.
Last year, these programs served more than 9,000 individuals. CSB is funded by the City of Columbus, the Franklin County Board of Commissioners, the Franklin County Board of Commissioners, the United Way of Central Ohio, The Columbus Foundation, Nationwide, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, the State of Ohio and other public and private donors.
Day to End Homelessness is being made possible through the support of Nationwide Insurance and Safelite AutoGlass.

Get the WP7 phones Sprint--or keep losing your Premier business customers. What a lost opportunity to compete directly with the i-phone market and AT&T. Are you that inept?
For those of you who will remain with Sprint they do plan on carrying this toaster sized beast some time next year. Hopefully you enjoy wearing cargo or parachute pants - Hammer Time! Can't touch this (don't want to either).
There were about 10 new WP7 phones released today and the only one Sprint said they plan on carrying can double as a boat anchor. You could also use the Sprint Pro model to prop open a rolling cage door in case you need to slide under and steal some precious art work. The Samsung Omnia 7 doesn't look shabby either -
Here's a quote from CNET, Sprint couldn't get Windows Phone 7 now because WP7 doesn't support CDMA just yet, which is why Verizon isn't a launch partner either.
"We had to make some trade-offs," senior product manager Greg Sullivan told CNET. "Even Microsoft doesn't have unlimited resources. We had to prioritize doing fewer things, really, really well."
"For the worldwide market, the vast majority of phones are GSM phones, so we focused on GSM first and then plan to deliver an update that will have great CDMA support in the first half of 2011," Sullivan said. "That's device availability in the first half and we're very confident of that. That's probably a conservative estimate."
"Look, we could do more things, or we could do fewer things really, really well. We chose intentionally to do fewer things really, really well. We absolutely have to build that quality first and then we have to quickly achieve reach and scale," he said
The reason I started the petition is because Sprint has a habit of picking the phones I don't want and yet again they achieve consistent failure. They picked the Pro phone which is great for people who like boat anchors. Mind you I realize there are some people that want physical keyboards and I believe Sprint SHOULD carry phones with keyboards but I also know not everyone wants a keyboard (for example people who chose the iphone - I think there are a few of them). The HD7 and the Omnia 7 are great phones but currently they aren't on the Sprint verizon which push me towards Verizon Wireless.
I was just looking at the Verizon web page and thinking I wish Sprint had gotten the imagio - I wouldn't have so much new phone envy if I could have gotten that a couple of years ago when it was more current.
Verizon hasn't even announced a SINGLE handset based off WP7 and has been quoted as
"Verizon chief operating officer and president Lowell McAdam doesn't see Microsoft as a major player in mobile, saying the future lies with Android, Blackberry, and the iPhone." While a VZW spokesperson was quoted on bloomberg saying that they will probably release a WP7 sometime in 2011.
Atleast sprint has stated that they will definitely be getting a WP7 in early 2011.
Ironically people on the verizon forums are flipping out as well saying they will change carriers because Verizon hasn't officially announced support for WP7
Actually I switched to Sprint from VZW a couple years ago because VZW had a tendency to gimp their phones for a while (reducing ram, removing features etc) and they had a really piss poor selection to choose from, but admittedly they've gotten a lot better in these past couple years.
I agree with you that it would be nice if Sprint would increase their selection of phones, but making statements like "SPRINT RELEASE WP7 NOW!!!' or "I'M SWITCHING BECAUSE SPRINT REFUSES TO BE A LAUNCH PARTNER FOR WP7" are kind of shortsighted granted they have no control over something like that.
I'm not sure where you read either of those quotes but I can understand someone leaving any carrier that doesn't offer phones that the end user wants. Mind you if Sprint unlocked their network I'm sure we'd see a lot more phones to choose from and get them sooner but that isn't the way Sprint rolls.
I'm not sure what you mean about "if sprint unlocked their network" CDMA isn't like GSM where you get a SIM card and can swap between different devices. Both Verizon and Sprint are CDMA. AT&T and T-mobile are GSM which is why they are getting WP7 phones first.
Anyway the quotes are from here
McAdam's quote http://www.theregister.co.uk/2010/10/08/verizon_windows_phone_7_wet_blanket/
Verizon probably releasing a phone in 2011 quote http://www.businessweek.com/news/2010-09-16/verizon-won-t-sell-microsoft-windows-phone-7-at-start.html
WP7 Not ready for CDMA at launch quote http://news.cnet.com/8301-13860_3-20016752-56.html
An unlocked network means you can put any compatible device on the network and you get to use it. Verizon has unlocked their network. Tmobile and ATT have unlocked networks. The issue is Sprint has the only compatible phones with Verizon so even if you liked a Sprint phone and wanted to use it on Verizon you can't because Sprint won't release the phones so that you can put them on Verizon. Sprint doesn't allow you to put any ESN you want on their network, it has to be a Sprint phone. Verizon will let you put any ESN you want on their network however the phone has to be unlocked first and Sprint won't do that with their phones - clear enough?
CDMA isn't any more challenging to configure than GSM, the difficulty comes in when a provider says we have to approve what phone you sell as you have to sell through us. And before we approve your phone we want it so it can sit in a drawer for several months and we can claim we tested it. Then we'll tell you we want you to install Sprint Store crap and other things to slow down your phone, use up precious memory and delay any firmware updates you might like to offer.
Verizon offered the Kin which was a fiasco so Verizon is taking it slow with WP7. Since that is one shy CDMA provider, that leaves Sprint and since sprint is a locked network, it only makes sense for HTC to make it a low priority.
So to get back to the orignal post of this thread which for whatever reason you didn't read or read what you wanted to read, heard what you wanted to hear (you sound a lot like one of my ex-girlfriends). My original post was about wanting Sprint to release a SLIM, big screened fast phone. Sprint currently only has a FAT WP7 phone on their roadmap. As to the other point of my orignal post - Android has come a long way with 2.2 - it is much more business friendly.
IMHO - these videos compare 2 of the best WP7 phones. Oh and it shows the Mozart as well which isn't really as good as the other 2 but it is in the videos as well.

Many islands in the Caribbean offer sun, sea, sand, snorkelling and sailing, but the British Virgin Islands trumps them all for sugary stretches of white sand, flawless weather for world class sailing and extraordinarily clear turquoise waters that bring snorkellers and divers from all over the world.
You may never want to leave the British Virgin Islands. [Melody Wren photo]
This is one place that meets the needs of a wide cross section of people with discriminating taste.
Be careful if you visit the British Virgin Islands – you may not want to leave. I met several tourists-turned-residents. Of course, many of them were Brits who feel particularly at home driving on the left side of the road and enjoying traditional afternoon tea. And one can understand their abandoning England's pitiful climate for this almost perfect tropical weather year-round.
But the islands have other virtues, too. With a population of just 25,000, they are small enough to retain a humble, friendly atmosphere, yet special enough to attract a substantial number of celebrities.
A collection of more than 50 small islands, islets and cays with a long history of piracy and slave trading, this was first a Dutch colony and is now a British territory. It serves as a playground to some of the wealthiest people in the world, but there is plenty to do even if you don't own a 100-foot yacht.
Gigantic cruise ships routinely stop in the harbour of the capital city, Road Town, disgorging thousands of passengers into the native habitat for a few hours. But, unlike other port cities, Road Town still feels like a real place rather than a way station structured around T-shirts, refrigerator magnets and duty-free jewellers. It pulses with street life, bands playing, the fresh catch of the day being sold out of temporarily parked trucks and lots of strolling locals happy to pass the time of day with a tourist.
The island of Tortola and most of others are mountainous, and though they are lavishly green when seen from afar, their climate and vegetation are much drier than those in many of the other Caribbean isles. This has a beneficial side effect: because of the lack of runoff, the the sea is dependably clearer than in many other places in the Caribbean. That's one of the reasons these islands are a popular destination for divers and snorkellers.
And because of the protective effect of the islands surrounding Tortola, seas tend to be calm most of the time, making the region a go-to destination for those prone to motion sickness who still want to participate in small boat-based excursions.
The steady winds and calm seas also make the islands one of the world's premier yachting regions, and sailing excursions should be at the top of every interested visitor's list.
Sailing enthusiasts come from all over the world to indulge in their hobby, but you can enrol in a program whether you are an absolute beginner or are striving for a captain's certification. We met many tourists arriving to board a charter with friends or family to sail through the islands for a week or so. I also met a couple from Brazil embarking on a five-year sail around the world with a three-week stop in the islands. The area boasts the largest concentration of bareboats (boats rented without crew to experienced sailors) in the world. Day sail yachts that offer half and all-day trips are an ideal way to explore the outer islands.
Depending on what type of experience and price point you want, there are many resorts to choose from: Tortola has the biggest variety and best bargains, including the historic Sugar Mill. Virgin Gorda is known for exclusive resorts like Biras Creek and Little Dix Bay, and the Bitter End Yacht Club is a classic Caribbean seaport village.
Private island resorts range from the affordable, eco-friendly Cooper Island Beach Club to the luxurious Guana Island Resort and Peter Island Resort, and the outrageous Necker Island, owned by Sir Richard Branson, rents for up to $53,000 a night.
Among the islands' greatest attributes are the genuinely gracious residents. The area is amazingly safe and crime-free. It's not unusual to find yachts worth hundreds of thousands of dollars docked in marinas, with the key clearly visible in the ignition
With views that are stunning and delightful at every turn, with luminous turquoise waters, uninhabited islands and a leisurely, relaxed pace found only in the Caribbean, this location is a must see.
