Representative Hayworth Votes for Dangerous Anti-Women's Health Bill
For Immediate Release: Jan. 30, 2014
Poughkeepsie, NY - Representative Nan Hayworth (R-19) voted in favor of H.R. 358, a dangerous bill that will drastically erode women's health and reduce access to basic health care services and information. The bill, which passed in a vote of 251- 172, bundles together several proposals that undermine women's access to health care and lets hospitals turn away women who may need a life saving procedure. Since 1986, hospitals have been prohibited from refusing to provide care to a patient in a life-threatening emergency situation. Current federal law requires hospitals to at least stabilize the patient, offering an essential protection for patients. But under H.R. 358, this critical protection would no longer apply to a woman who needs an abortion to save her life.
Planned Parenthood Mid-Hudson Valley's President and CEO Ruth-Ellen Blodgett issued the following statement today:
"Planned Parenthood Mid-Hudson Valley once again denounces so called "pro-choice" Representative Nan Hayworth's (R-19) vote in favor of HR 358.
"She has continuously voted against women's reproductive health and put politics ahead of all the other critical issues facing this country. It is clear that Representative Hayworth can no longer hide behind her "pro-choice" stance. Policies such as these put real women's lives at risk. Representative Hayworth can't continue to say one thing and do another. She has joined her anti-choice colleagues time and time again on the assault on women's health. The Representative needs to stop supporting efforts to undermine women's health and stop misrepresenting her position on reproductive rights to her constituents."
Planned Parenthood Mid-Hudson Valley (PPMHV) is a non-profit organization that has been providing comprehensive reproductive health care services in 6 health centers in Dutchess, Ulster, Sullivan and Orange Counties for nearly 80 years. In 2010, PPMHV provided services to over 20,000 patients. PPMHV works to preserve and protect the essential privacy and rights of each individual; advocates public policies which guarantee these rights and ensures access to such services and provides educational programs which enhance understanding of individual and societal implications of human sexuality. PPMHV is headquartered in Poughkeepsie, NY. For more information about PPMHV services and programs, visit www.ppmhv.org. Like us on Facebook and follow our Action Fund on Twitter.

I have this ERR (it is bigger but for the problem is irrelevant).The users can be company's or single users (persons).In the job_offers i have two foreign keys, so i used them as PK.
It has any problem with this model? the relation between users and company it is identified? at the moment they are represented as identified.thanks
So a user has many companies and a company has many job offers. Is the join between user and companies necessary or can a single user access all companies?
Right now you've encoded it such that a user can have multiple companies, so the relation user:company is 1:N. I'd suggest you make that relation N:M so a user can have multiple companies, and a company can have multiple users, as that's more realistic.To do this you need an extra table with the PK of users and the PK of job_offers as its PK.
If you don't want to do that: yes, your scheme is incorrect. The fact that users_id_user is a PK in the company table is in the PK doesn't make any sense, and that your PK in the job_offers table makes even less sense (did you notice that a company can have no more than 1 offer the way you've set it up!?).
I'd say that users_id_user in the company table should be in the primary key, but in the foreign key, and then put company_id_company in as an FK in the job_offers table and create and id_job_offer as the PK in that table.
PS. Please make up your mind about using singular or plural. Right now you have a table "users" (plural) with a field "id_user" (singular), a table "company" (singular), and "job_offers" (plural).If you keep mixing it like this it come will come back to bite you in the behind one day.
i will try to explain what i intend. can exists two types of users. Company users and single users (persons).
The single users can be students or workers. Company users can have multiple job_offers but each job_offer only belongs to a single company. The relation is one to one between users and company because the company user "siemens" only can have a year of foundation or a description of activity.
So, the table users have a group of fields that can be shared between two types of users- two single users (students and workers) and company users.
If the relation between users and company is 1:1, company should have a field users_id_user that is the PK of that table, and is an FK to users.id_user
The way you've set it up now is not really 1:1, although you did try by putting the users_id_user in the company table, but that only makes things awkward ...
i have what you suggest, users_id_user is PK of company and foreign key of users table.
What i tried is a generalization basically. The table users have fields shared between single user and company user, single user have fields shared between workers and students, and finally workers and particular fields and students too.
do you think that is a bad practice my logic?
Okay, I meant users_id_user should be the only PK of the company table. You don't need the company_id and it only makes things confusing.
The rest of your logic for sharing fields is sound, yes
thanks for your help

For the third straight night, the Padres scored in the first inning. But this time the lead lasted only a few hitters. With one out in the second, James Loney homered to tie the game. Shawn Estes then walked Matt Kemp, who raced home from first on Blake DeWitt's double. A two-out walk to opposing pitcher Derek Lowe brought up Russell Martin, who singled home the third Dodgers run.
Offense: Manny Ramirez hit two two-run homers, giving him four homers and 10 RBI in 19 at-bats against the Padres.
Pitching: After Brian Giles' leadoff double in the first, Lowe allowed the Padres only two more hits before being driven from the game by a Kevin Kouzmanoff comebacker off his leg in the sixth.
For better or worse, 11 players now with the Padres were drafted by the club.
The most senior member of the draft classes is Jake Peavy, who was a 15th-round pick in 1999.
Second baseman Matt Antonelli (first round) and pitcher Wade LeBlanc (second) were 2006 picks. Left fielder Chase Headley (second), catcher Nick Hundley (second), pitcher Josh Geer (third) and center fielder Will Venable (seventh) were chosen in 2005.
Shortstop Sean Kazmar (fifth round) and pitcher Mike Ekstrom (12th) were 2004 picks, and pitcher Dirk Hayhurst (eighth) and outfielder Drew Macias (35th) came out of the 2003 draft.
Andre Ethier: In 13 games hitting ahead of Manny Ramirez, Ethier is batting .500 (25-for-50) with nine walks, eight doubles, a triple, three homers, 14 RBI and 17 runs scored. Last night he singled ahead of each of Ramirez's homers.
3-½ – Game lead by the Dodgers over Arizona in the NL West with 16 games left.
14 – Padres who have made their major league debut this season. The latest: right-handed reliever Mike Ekstrom last night.
52 – Multihomer games in Manny Ramirez's career.
435 Distance, in feet, of Ramirez's first homer to center last night off Shawn Estes, the eighth-longest in Petco Park history.

We kill Illidari Council, and Madness of the Betrayer drops, followed by non-clothy nerd screams. Whether this is an upgrade from the Meteorite Weightstone is somewhat debatable, but as a DW'ing DK (until 3.1 anyway), more hit can't hurt. Some extra AP is always nice too. It goes up for rolls... FFS, it was like a rare mount dropped. Every not-Priest/Warlock/Mage in the raid rolled on it. I thought I was in good shape with a 75... then I see the rest of the rolls, and my soul was crushed. *sniff*
No glaives (ha ha, silly Warriors and Rogues). I think Momento of Tyrande dropped though... healer nerd screams followed.
We get to M'uru. Christ, that fight became a joke. CC the adds? Der, what? ZERG FEST! No Blackened Naaru Sliver, but whatever the healer one is dropped (more healer nerd screams), and a bunch of other crap. Also, it should be noted that no matter how big the HUGE FRICKIN' void zone on that fight is, someone will whine about getting gibbed from lagging out or not seeing it(HUH?!).
We also zerged down Kil'jaedan before he did his AoE o'Doom. No Thori'dal.
Two achievements I thought I'd never get on my DK.

The next well to be linked to the P-43 vessel will be BR-51, with an expected production rate of 11,950 barrels per day. Another 32 wells, which includes 18 production and 14 injection wells, will be subsequently linked to the Barracuda production platform.
"The achievement of first oil production from the Barracuda field is yet another significant milestone in this project," said Andy Lane, COO of Halliburton. "As a result of the Barracuda-Caratinga project and others coming to fruition, Brazil is expected to achieve oil self-sufficiency. We are proud to be part of this landmark project and are committed to working closely with Petrobras to provide the necessary technical support to rapidly build production levels and sustain high levels of reliable performance from these valuable assets."
After leaving the quay at the BrasFels shipyard at Angra dos Reis, Rio de Janeiro State on December 13, the Caratinga FPSO vessel, P-48, is continuing to undergo sea trials and final inspections at the anchorage area off Ilha Grande, Angra dos Reis. Testing is expected to be completed by the end of December and then the vessel will begin its journey to the Caratinga field in the Campos Basin, where it will join the Barracuda FPSO, moored in the adjacent Barracuda field. Upon arrival at its installation site in the Campos Basin, the Caratinga vessel will be moored, then final hook-up and offshore commissioning will commence.
The deepwater oil and gas fields of the Campos Basin are located 160 kilometers east of Macae, northeast of Rio de Janeiro. Together, the Barracuda and Caratinga fields cover an area of 493 square kilometers in the Campos Basin, in 800 and 1,035 meters of water respectively. The fields will produce close to 300,000 barrels of oil per day, approximately 20 percent of the current output from this offshore region. Each vessel will also be able to store approximately two million barrels of oil.

Ohio Wesleyan University Student Stabbed Near Campus
The Delaware police department was investigating a stabbing near the Ohio Wesleyan University campus early Saturday morning.
Someone from the Chi Phi fraternity house called 911 around 3 a.m. to report the incident. During the call, the caller told the dispatcher someone came into the room and stabbed the victim while he was sleeping.
University President Rock Jones sent an email Saturday afternoon that stated the victim was senior Anthony Peddle.
Peddle was listed as the 2014 class president on the university's website and scheduled to speak at graduation.
Peddle was taken to OSU Wexner Medical Center where he was last listed in fair condition with injuries to his hand and chest. Peddle was released from the hospital Sunday night.
The University also sent an email to students that stated witnesses reported seeing a male suspect wearing a blue or green hoodie.
There was no sign of forced entry at the fraternity house. Police questioned boys who live at the fraternity house. Right now, they do not have anyone in custody.
The campus was not put under lockdown.

You move into a new
house and think everything's fine, but for some unknown
reason everyone keeps coming down sick
you can't figure out why. You call an inspector out to
check throughout the house to see what's up ,or you look
carefully now you have the knowledge ,and find out that
you have the dreaded BLACK MOLD.
One of the most common problem molds in
households today is also one of the most toxic: black
mold. Black mold
is usually caused by neglected water damage which is
combined with humid air, organic materials to eat and
dim or dark areas. Seniors, infants and those with a
compromised immune system are most likely to fall prey
to black mold poisoning, but even healthy adults can
be affected.
Often, when individuals, whether in the news or other
forms of public media, discuss "black mold" they
are talking about a certain type of mold. This mold is
scientifically categorized as Stachybotrys Chartarum.
It will appear as a greenish black mold in color although
it is only deemed "black" mold.
Stachybotrys is a genus of molds, or asexually-reproducing,
filamentous fungi. Closely related to the genus Memnoniella,
most Stachybotrys species inhabit materials rich in cellulose.
The genus has a widespread distribution, and contains
about 50 species
The most infamous species, S. chartarum (also known
as S. atra) and S. chlorohalonata are known as "black
mold" or "toxic black mold" in the USA
and are frequently associated with poor indoor air quality
that arises after fungal growth on water-damaged building
Humid conditions create the ideal breeding ground for
the small spores to multiply. The way in which mold reproduces
is through these microscopic spores that are created
when the conditions are right. Most mold grows, or reproduces,
in damp areas, as mentioned previously.
With ever increasing changes in the Earth's weather
patterns, the more "wet" weather, the more
chance of having a "black mold" infestation.
Your home is more prone to a black mold invasion if you
live in an area that is exposed to frequent flooding
or extremely wet, and/or humid, conditions.
Black mold can grow on anything porous. Including wood,
cement, paper, clothing of all types, behind wallpaper,
ceiling tiles, and other common household building materials.
With that said, it is also very common to find black
mold growing rampant on gypsum board, more well known
as 'drywall', which is a major part of any home construction
It is important to note that mold spores are all around
us all the time and that no home is immune to them. No
matter how clean you keep it indoors. You must understand
that when mold reproduces, it is damp. However, when
this newly formed grouping of mold dries, it can become
airborne, whether this be indoors or out. Due to this,
there is always a great possibility that if there is
any type of excess moisture build up within your home,
mold could begin growing inside.
Health Risks
of Black Mold
Molds (also spelled "moulds")
are ubiquitous in the biosphere, and mold spores are
a common component of household and workplace dust. However,
when mold spores are present in abnormally high quantities,
they can present a health hazard to humans, potentially
causing allergic reactions, producing mycotoxins, or
causing fungal infection (mycosis)
Symptoms caused by the Stachybotrys chartarum
species of mold, which is also called black mold
or toxic black
Toxic black mold causes serious symptoms and health
problems such as mental impairment, breathing problems,
damage to internal organs and sometimes even death.
The main groups of symptoms toxic black mold causes
• Mental and neurological symptoms
Respiratory symptoms
Circulatory symptoms
Vision and eye problems
Skin problems
Immune system problems
Reproductive system problems
Tiredness and discomfort
Other illnesses and health effects
Mental and Neurological Symptoms From Toxic Black Mold
The trichothecene mycotoxins produced by toxic black
mold are neurotoxic. This means they can kill neurons
in the brain and impair a person's mental ability.
They also cause nervous disorders such as tremors and
can cause personality changes such as mood swings and
Brain fog
Shortened attention span
Difficulty concentrating and paying attention
Slowed reflexes
Memory loss and memory problems
Impaired learning ability
Aggression and other personality changes
Respiratory Symptoms From Toxic Black Mold
People living in homes with toxic black mold are
exposed mainly through breathing in toxic black mold
spores and mycotoxins. Toxic black mold mycotoxins
create irritation and a burning feeling in a person's
air passages such as the nasal cavity, mouth and throat.
The mycotoxins can even become lodged in the mucus
membranes, sinuses and the lungs which then causes
a burning feeling, breathing problems and bleeding
in the lungs.
•Difficulty breathing - breathlessness or shortness
of breath
Pulmonary edema - swelling of the lungs
Pulmonary hemorrhage - bleeding in the lungs
Sore throat
Burning sensation of the mouth
Bleeding gums
Runny nose
Itchy nose
Stuffy, blocked nose
Nose bleeds
Circulatory Symptoms From Toxic Black Mold
Toxic black mold mycotoxins can be breathed in, ingested,
or absorbed through a person's skin or eyes. Eventually
the mycotoxins then find their way into the person's
blood. This leads to heart damage, problems with blood
clotting and internal or external hemorrhaging.
•Irregular heartbeat
Heart inflammation
Damage to heart
Low blood pressure
Bone marrow disruption
Bleeding tendency
Blood not clotting properly
Hemorrhage - internal bleeding
Vomiting up blood
Bleeding in the brain and in other organs
Vision and Eye Symptoms From Toxic Black Mold
Toxic black mold mycotoxins that are in the air can
enter a person's eyes. The mycotoxins are cytotoxic
(toxic to cells) and when they come into contact with
eye cells they cause inflamed and injured eyes and
create vision problems.
•Eye inflammation and soreness
Red or bloodshot eyes
Eye damage
Blurry vision and vision worsening
Jaundice (yellowing of the eyes)
Skin Symptoms From Toxic Black Mold
Through the skin is one of the three main ways that
toxic black mold mycotoxins enter the human body. There
have been cases in the past where people have handled
hay contaminated with toxic black mold and developed
severe rashes and skin problems on their body where
they touched the hay, as well as on sweaty areas like
the armpits.
•Crawling skin
Dermatitis - skin inflammation, rash, blisters, itchiness
Jaundice (yellowing of the skin)
Immune System Symptoms From Toxic Black Mold
Toxic black mold puts out chemicals which suppress
the immune system. In fact many immunosuppressive drugs
are actually created from toxic molds. A person who
is immunocompromised from being around toxic black
mold will more easily get infections and sicknesses.
•Immunosuppression - immune system not functioning
Infections reoccurring
Reproductive System Symptoms From Toxic Black Mold
Mycotoxins from toxic black mold are teratogenic. This
means they can cause problems in the fetus during pregnancy
which then leads to birth defects. Toxic black mold
mycotoxins are also cytoxotic and mutagenic (cause
cell mutations) and inhibit protein synthesis including
DNA and RNA.
Fetal development problems
Tiredness and Discomfort Symptoms From Toxic Black
When a person is around toxic black mold the immune
system may release a sedative called Chloral Hydrate.
This is used as a defense to try to slow down the effects
of toxic black mold. But this also makes a person tired
and causes fatigue. Toxic black mold can also cause
soreness of the muscles and joints.
•Chronic fatigue
Aches and pains
Muscle pain
Chest pain
Abdominal pain
Joint pain
Malaise - general discomfort
Cold or flu type symptoms or recurring colds
Other Symptoms From Toxic Black Mold
• Hair loss
• Weight loss, anorexia
• Hearing loss
• Liver disease
• Coma
• Death
Toxic Black Mold Causes Allergic Symptoms
Like other molds, toxic black mold is allergenic. The
spores from toxic black mold cause allergic reactions
such as breathing problems, sore eyes, runny nose,
itchiness, sneezing and a sore throat.
For a more detailed list of allergic reactions caused
by mold visit Mold Symptoms and Allergic Reactions.
Differing Toxic Black Mold Symptoms
Toxic black mold affects different people in different
ways. Some people won't experience symptoms as severe
as what others experience. Children, the elderly and
people with weak immune systems are usually the worst
affected by toxic black mold.
Toxic Black Mold and Cancer
Experts suspect that toxic black mold can cause cancer,
although there still needs to be more research. Some
other toxic molds, like Aspergillus for example, definitely
cause cancer though. The aflatoxin mycotoxins which
Aspergillus produce are among the most powerful carcinogens.
Are Toxic Black Mold Symptoms
Permanent? Once a person is no longer around toxic
black mold
most of their symptoms should gradually decrease. Some
of the health problems caused by toxic black mold are
permanent though. For example, after a person has lived
with toxic black mold their immune system won't be
as strong as it used to be and they'll be more sensitive
to mold and mycotoxins in the future.
In 2004, the
Institute of Medicine determined there is enough evidence
to link indoor mold exposure
with increased cough, wheeze, and other upper respiratory
tract symptoms in otherwise healthy people. The evidence
also suggests patients with asthma will likely experience
more asthma related symptoms. People who have other conditions
affecting their immune system have an increased risk
for hypersensitivity pneumonitis – an inflammation
of the lungs.
Symptoms of Stachybotrys
exposure in humans Exposure to the
mycotoxins present in Stachybotrys chartarum or Stachybotrys
atra can have a wide range of effects. Depending
on the length of exposure and volume of spores inhaled
or ingested, symptoms can manifest as chronic fatigue
or headaches, fever, irritation to the eyes, mucous
membranes of the mouth, nose and throat, sneezing,
rashes, and chronic coughing. In severe cases of
exposure or cases exacerbated by allergic reaction,
symptoms can be extreme including nausea, vomiting,
and bleeding in the lungs and nose, allergic reactions,
asthma episodes, irritations of the eye, nose and
throat, sinus congestion, and other respiratory problems.
For example, residents of homes with mold are at
an elevated risk for both respiratory infections
and bronchitis. When mold spores are inhaled by an
immunocompromised individual, some mold spores may
begin to grow on living tissue, attaching to cells
along the respiratory tract and causing further problems.
Mold may produce mycotoxins, either before or after
exposure to humans, potentially causing toxicity.
Mold health
issues are potentially harmful effects of molds.
Healthy people may experience mild allergic reaction
symptoms. Individuals affected by a chronic respiratory
illness may have trouble breathing. Anyone with
a suppressed immune system may have an increased risk
of developing an infection from the mold exposure
there is no such thing as "harmless Black mold".

Iradicating Black Mold
from your home
How to Restore Affected Areas
Remove mold from hard surfaces with commercial cleaning
products. A soap and water solution will also help remove
mold if no cleaning products
are available. Many people opt to use a bleach solution
to kill the mold spores and remove it from hard surfaces.
The bleach solution should
be mixed no more than one cup of bleach to one gallon of
water.Colloidal silver is well known for killing mold
When electing to clean
the mold with a bleach and water solution:
¦Never add ammonia to the mixture, as bleach
and ammonia produce toxic fumes. Do not add other household
cleaners to the bleach mixture, as this may also produce
toxic gas
¦ Wear protective eye wear and non-porous gloves to keep the bleach away
from skin
¦ Open doors and windows in the area to keep it well ventilated.
Colloidal Silver
Spray with high
potency colloidal silver
To remove the mold, spray colloidal
silver on it and let it stand for 10
minutes before wiping away.
This will destroy the mold and likely prevent it from re-growing.Experience
has taught us that the best unit to use is the Heavy
Duty colloidal silver generator,as this makes three different
sizes/ppm of colloidal silver,,this acts like a shotgun effect.
instead of the. single bullet type normal silver units More
The principle behind ozone gas is very
similar to the oxidation process that normal oxygen performs
when it comes in contact with substances. The oxygen
atoms interact with the atoms of the substances, changing
their chemical composition by trading out other atoms.
This is how metal rusts and copper turns green when exposed
to air. These unique properties of oxygen are greatly
enhanced when the gas is ionized, or changed with UV
light to contain three oxygen atoms per grouping instead
of two. This makes the ionized oxygen particles even
more eager to trade atoms with other substances. If those
other substances are pathogens or odor-causing particles,
they are destroyed in the process. Scientists prefer
this method because the only byproduct of the forced

Refresh the Air
Like the water we drink and the food we eat, the air
we breathe has a great impact on our quality of life.
This system can reduce sources of discomfort which
contribute to types
of airborne irritation. Removal of these irritants
in the air can help reduce the risk of exacerbation.
Utilizing negative ions,
this amazing system can significantly reduce:
According to the American College of Allergies, 50%
of all illness is aggravated or caused by polluted indoor
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) themselves
declare that indoor air is anywhere from 2 to 10 times
more hazardous than outdoor air.
The EPA also warns us that the indoor air quality is
the number one environmental health problem.
Today's homes and buildings are built air-tight, and
contain a long list of pollution sources. As a result,
natural air-cleansing agents such as ozone and negative
ions are kept out, while contaminants are kept in.
A recent study found that the allergen level in super-insulated
homes is 200% higher than it is in ordinary homes.
Most people spend well over 90% of their time indoors.
In which case, indoor air is going to impact our health
far more than outdoor air.
The EPA informs us that 6 out of 10 homes and buildings
are "sick", meaning they are hazardous to your
health to occupy as a result of airborne pollutants More
As Phyllis A. Balch and Dr. James F. Balch write in
Prescription for Nutritional Healing, colloidal silver
can safely and inexpensively protect you from infection
in a wide variety of ways: "Topically, it can be
used to fight fungal infections of the skin or nails
and to promote the healing of burns, wounds, cuts, rashes,
and sunburn. It can be used on toothaches and mouth sores,
as eye drops and as a gargle to fight tooth decay and
bad breath. It can also be used as sterilizer and can
even be sprayed on air-conditioning filters and air ducts
and vents to prevent germs from growing." In addition
to those found in air conditioning vents, germs make
many other aspects of our environment both unhealthy
and bad-smelling. Colloidal silver, as a powerful antibiotic
and antifungal agent, can make your environment just
as healthy as it can make your body.
As the HSI pointed out at the time, one
of their well-known health symposium panelists, Dr. Marcial-Vega,
had discovered while dealing with pneumonia patients
the fact that colloidal silver can be quickly
and easily carried into the human blood stream and from there into
the body's cells and tissues, simply by nebulizing it.
Nebulizing is a process by which colloidal silver is
run through a small medical device called a nebulizer
which turns the colloidal silver solution into a fine
mist. This fine mist can easily be breathed into the
lungs as its produced by the machine. And from the lungs
the body can efficiently and effectively distribute the
colloidal silver straight into the blood stream, cells
and tissues Getting

there is no such thing as "harmless Black mold".
"If mold exposure is not detected right away as
the culprit for a person's condition, the black mold
symptoms become more severe and can cause more damage
to the human body. Since the usual symptoms of mold exposure
are similar to the common cold or allergies, it may be
quite difficult to immediately identify that the cause
of the problem is black mold.
If the conditions remain undiagnosed, people who have
mold reactions may suffer more serious symptoms such
as nausea, hair loss, skin sores, chronic sinus infections,
hair loss, joint and muscle pains and even neurological
disorders such as panic attacks. Some people may exhibit
breathing disorders, coughing up of blood, extreme fatigue,
short term memory loss and severe asthma attacks.
There are people who are more prone to mold reactions
such as babies, little children and elderly family members
due to their weaker immune systems. Mold exposure presents
real risks to your family health, and should not be taken
for granted. The amount of time between mold detection
and cleaning the mold colonies out of your home can seriously
affect the lives of the people you live or work with.
Other more serious conditions can also result from mold
exposure. Fibromyalgia, heart attack, jaundice, stomach
ulcers, tremors, cancer, bleeding from the lungs, destruction
of brain tissue and ultimately death are just some of
the possible effects of being exposed to mold.
Constant research is being conducted related to black
mold symptoms, but it is clear that the diseases that
develop due to mold exposure do present real concerns.
Therefore, it is necessary to either clean the mold infestations
yourself or seek the help of a professional mold removal
company who have the expertise and equipment to deal
with mold problems".Source
Black mold poisoning is serious; don't let anyone
tell you otherwise. It causes a range of symptoms that
are highly damaging to your body and to your lifestyle.
If the black mold isn't removed from your home
and from your body, the problem will get worse and your
health will collapse.If in doudt contact a mold iradication

If you enjoy shopping in-store at Nordstrom or Nordstrom Rack but don't have one near you or prefer to do your shopping online, I think you'll enjoy today's giveaway!
[Kenneth Cole sunglasses/ Charlie Jade dress/ Jessica Simpson wedges, Marika capris/ Dogeared necklace/ Kooba crossbody/ Pleione shirt]
When we were living in Ocala, I did 99 percent of my shopping online. To find anything quality in stores, I would have to make the 1.5 hour drive to Orlando and since that didn't happen all too often, the internet became my mall. Sounds dangerous, right?
For the most part, I limited my shopping to websites that offered great deals on quality clothing and one of these sites was HauteLook. (You're shocked aren't you? My HauteLook obsession isn't exactly a secret on this blog.) Through HauteLook, I discovered that Nordstrom Rack actually had its own website since their websites are connected.
Quick note: For my fellow HauteLook lovers, you can use your HauteLook login to shop at NordstromRack.com. If you buy something on NordstromRack.com and HauteLook.com, there's just one checkout and everything can be returned online or in store at your local Nordstrom Rack.
My first stop on the Nordstrom Rack website is always the women's dresses tab since they frequently feature some of my favorite brands including BCBG, Free People, TART and more.
I wore this Free People garden party dress to my friend Brittany's house for a day at the lake on Saturday!
(My black sunglasses are Kenneth Cole and I actually bought them from the Nordstrom Rack store in Jacksonville. As I was typing up this post, I ordered them in brown from the website for $24.97 because I love them so much!)
Another section of the Nordstrom Rack website I check when I visit is the tops category because I've found some pretty tanks and tees for affordable prices. This Tildon hi-lo top was less than $15!
I picked out that top because it was slightly sheer and I am loving the look of breezy slightly sheer tops with pretty bra tops this summer. I paired it with a mustard yellow Free People bra top ($19.00) that I selected because of the thicker band, full coverage and the almost feminine lacy sports bra type feel. (It's actually thick enough that you could even wear a strapless bra underneath it if that made you more comfortable.)
Now are you ready for the giveaway???
NordstromRack.com is offering one PBF reader this adorable periwinkle Rebecca Minkoff purse!
I'm also jumping in the mix and throwing in a $100 credit to NordstromRack.com for a different reader so you can have some fun shopping online, too! Nordstrom Rack, like HauteLook, features great deals for men, women and kids on brand name clothing, shoes, handbags and accessories and new merchandise is offered every week, so you can use the gift card to shop for yourself or a loved one! (Shipping is free over $100.) Please note that this giveaway is open to readers in the United States, Canada and Australia.
To enter this giveaway, simply comment below, telling me what you'd buy with a $100 credit to NordstromRack.com. Do you need a new summer dress? Some cute shoes? A fun tote? Let me know!
I will randomly select two separate winners on Friday.
Disclaimer: While this post is sponsored by Nordstrom Rack, I am not earning commission or website credit from any items purchased. For the giveaway, Nordstrom Rack will be providing one reader with a Rebecca Minkoff purse and I will personally be buying the $100 credit for another reader.

NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- The big game is following a big gain for stocks, and sorry Patriot fans, but one outcome bodes better than the other. According to data from S&P Capital IQ, when New England wins the Super Bowl, the S&P 500 has on average lost 2.1% for the year. Conversely, when the Pats fail in their quest for the Lombardi trophy, the index has risen 5% on average.
The Giants have won the Super Bowl three times, and the average performance in the wake of their wins is a negative 0.5%, but this includes the wreckage wrought by the financial crisis in 2008 when the S&P 500 dropped 37%. In the other two years that the Giants won, 1987 and 1991, the market was up 5.1% and 30.5%, respectively. When the Giants lost to Baltimore Ravens in 2001, the market finished the year down 11.9%. This is all small sample-size stuff, of course, and S&P Capital IQ, which makes clear the analysis is intended to be lighthearted and not the basis for any investment decisions, provides plenty of data points that fans from either side can hang their hat on. For example, years when the home team wins -- this year that's the Pats -- the S&P 500 has risen an average of 17%. > > Bull or Bear? Vote in Our Poll Rooting for the G-Men? When the NFC wins, the market has risen an average of 15% vs. a 7% gain in years when the AFC comes out on top. There are also some positives to be gleaned for neutral observers as the five previous Super Bowl rematches have yielded 19% returns on average. Both teams have also previously won Super Bowls, another good sign, as the S&P 500 has jumped an average of 13% in years when a former champion returns and wins. Meantime, the Dow Jones Industrial Average was finally able to book its second triple-digit swing of the year on Friday, as the January jobs report came in much better than expected. Or did it? Research firm TrimTabs took issue with the Bureau of Labor Statistics in the wake of the data, which said nonfarm payrolls swelled by 243,000 and the unemployment rate decreased to 8.3%. TrimTabs concentrates on income tax collection data for its job estimates, and its calculations put total job growth at 83,000 for the December-January period, much lower than the 446,000 reported by the federal government.

After meeting in closed session for more than six hours on Wednesday, Eureka Mayor Frank Jager said the council is close to selecting a new city manager.
"I think, within the week, we will make a final decision and make an offer," Jager said.
This was the second time the council interviewed the finalists -- one local and two from out of state. Two panels also met with the candidates.
Kurt Kramer, Heidi Benzonelli, Dale Maples, J Warren Hockaday, Jack Crider and Lorene Dunaway were appointed by the council to serve on a community panel. Former Eureka City Manager David Tyson, county Administrative Officer Philip Smith-Hanes, along with local city managers Karen Suiker, Randy Mendosa, Regan Candelario, Jack Parrish and Jim Test were asked to participate on a professional panel.
"I want to thank the people who spent the morning here," Jager said. "I think their input was very valuable. It's going to be difficult narrowing it down to one candidate."
A background check on all of the candidates will now be conducted. The council will discuss the item again in the closed session portion of Tuesday's regular meeting.
Jager said he hopes the council will be able to make an announcement at that time.

when my wife first asked me if i wanted to do this i pooped immediately but then as i solemnly cleaned myself up i found the appeal and now we can't stop doing it. my penis is made out of cherry wood and this is the only position that pleases me because my wife massages my knee. i have a bad knee lol.
The Sockets position differs from the Scissors position because although the partners' legs are inter-crossed (or scissored), the top leg of the receiver is placed in front of the giver's chest, rather than behind them. This means the receiver is laid on their back, rather than side. This position allows for an unusual angle for penetration. It also has the advantage of not trapping the receiver's lower leg and so is more comfortable. However, care should be taken to not ever-extend the penis which is pointed at an unusual (downward) angle.
I agree.
My ex loved this position..
and i loved doint it with himmm...
Oops i still do hahahaha..
I reckon ex's are the best FB's ever..
Who all agrees lol XX
I sure the he'll do
your right ex's are the best to have sex with. You never know when it will end so you give it to each other so hard and passionate. After this i love to suck up all her wet cum with my mouth wet her dripping wet.
this one looks fucking hot!
I agree with you. ;) This one looks very hot indeed. I jush wish my girl was here so I could try it out with her.
i think ill try that tonight it looks fun to do
this position works like a charm gives deep penetration and allows your partner to grind there clit against your legs thus providing clitorial stimulation with vaginal penetration and g spot stimulation
My bf is having a hard time finding my g spot....
looks great i will try it soon
this must be number one
makes me wet thinking about it
Fucking Hot!
me and my bf did this for 2 hours it was amazing!!!!!!!!!!! we did it on the bonnet of his car friken hell i screamed so ,uch orgamsims never felt so good! <3
good good feeling xx
What should I say!!! This is really funny. I haven't married yet and don't have any girlfriend. I will use this then.hahahahaha
this one is hard to get into the mood but its awsome and the feeling is great. ill do it tonight oh god !!!
I love to do this one with my gf rite before my soccer game to get me warmed up before we left me and her tryed it out I gave her orgasms and it feels great pulling my d*ck out and letting suck on it after
i love 69
i made my boyfriend do this to me a few hours ago and i must say i got the biggest orgasmn ever! it feels so good and when he pulls out he goes and eats me out right away cause he knows im all wet and sloppy
i am 18 and i love doing this to my boyfriend. i love it when his dick goes into my pussy and he loves when my pussy goes to his dick. we both love this.
this position is great for intense clitoral orgasms, as your clit can rub up against his thigh. i love this position
here's a hint: these animations can be even hotter and easier to see if you zoom in! (sometimes you can even see more details, if you catch my drift haha)
i never thought you could zoom in but o my god that does get some better details i zoom in on everything now
How do you zoom?

LONDON (Jul. 22)
Propaganda by "humane societies" and by individuals against Jewish ritual slaughter is receiving new and wider circulation than previously, the Schechita Committee of the Board of Deputies of British Jews reported today. The committee added that eminent veterinary scientists were examining the Jewish slaughter methods and it is hoped that their report will be completed soon and will provide up-to-date evidence supporting schechita as a most humane method of slaughter.
The committee also warned religious authorities that although the most modern slaughter equipment had been installed in many areas difficulties had arisen as a result of the "unsympathetic attitude" towards schechita of some non-Jewish employees who assist in carrying out various tasks before or after slaughter. It suggested that precautions be taken to make certain that such incidents do not arise during schechita and thus encourage new attempts to ban it.

Tab characters should be used only in menus, not in menu bars. (For information on menus, see POPUP Resource.) The \a character aligns all text that follows it flush right to the menu bar or pop-up menu.
- result
A number that specifies the result generated when the user selects the menu item. This parameter takes an integer value. Menu-item results are always integers; when the user clicks the menu-item name, the result is sent to the window that owns the menu.
- optionlist
The appearance of the menu item. This optional parameter takes one or more of the following redefined menu options, separated by commas or spaces.
Option Description CHECKED Menu item has a check mark next to it. GRAYED Menu item is initially inactive and appears on the menu in gray or a lightened shade of the menu-text color. This option cannot be used with the INACTIVE option. HELP Identifies a help item. This option has no effect on the appearance of the menu item. INACTIVE Menu item is displayed but it cannot be selected. This option cannot be used with the GRAYED option. MENUBARBREAK Same as MENUBREAK except that for pop-up menus, it separates the new column from the old column with a vertical line. MENUBREAK Places the menu item on a new line for static menu-bar items. For menus, it places the menu item in a new column with no dividing line between the columns.
The MENUITEM SEPARATOR form of the MENUITEM statement creates an inactive menu item that serves as a dividing bar between two active menu items on a menu.
The following example demonstrates the use of the MENUITEM and MENUITEM SEPARATOR statements:
MENUITEM "&Roman", 206, CHECKED, GRAYED MENUITEM SEPARATOR MENUITEM "&Blackletter", 301

Volunteer firefighters were called out to deal with more arson attacks while regular crews were out on strike in an ongoing dispute over pensions.
Rubbish was set alight under a bridge on Wet Moor Lane, Wath-upon-Dearne, Rotherham, at 6.20pm on Wednesday just before two conifers were set alight on Manor Oaks Gardens, Wybourn, Sheffield.
Fire chiefs warned earlier in the week that arsonists were putting lives at risk when there are a reduced number of appliances available.
Regular crews were called to three recycling bins set on fire on Club Garden Walk, Sharrow, Sheffield; rubbish burning inside a garage on Sheringham Gardens, High Green and grass on fire on Skipton Road, Swallownest, Rotherham.

Indie space-twang rockers Beachwood Sparks came together last year for their first album in ten years. The Tarnished Gold received mixed reviews, but it was a welcome return for most fans. Now the band has released a new single, "Make It Together," which should please even those who turned up their noses at The Tarnished Gold, because this single is from a "lost" album, Desert Skies, recorded 16 years ago and not released until now.
"Make It Together" is classic uptempo Beachwood Sparks, with crunchy guitars, soft harmonies, combo organ, theremin, puppies, a child's laugh, Coca-Cola, and all the good things in the world rolled up into four minutes of throwback country-psych perfection.
The album comes out November 20th on Alive Naturalsound Records, who have the new song posted on their SoundCloud, here.
Sub Pop became famous as the breeding ground for the early-90s alt-rock revolution, home to the biggest bands of the grunge-era bands. Music changed fast, though, and Sub Pop struggled near the end of the decade to find their footing again, with WEA (Warner Elektra Atlantic) taking a substantial minority stake and making some cross-label promotional deals that didn't seem like a bad idea, but didn't really help Sub Pop's long-term creative prospects. All that changed around the turn of the millennium, with a new generation of talent forging original and somehow familiar sounds. There have been many quality releases by the label since 2000, but these are some of the very best. I've combined multiple releases in some cases, and left off others when they didn't quite hit the heights.
10. Band of Horses " Everything All The Time (2006) / Cease To Begin (2007)
A slightly more grounded My Morning Jacket or more spacey Built To Spill"either way, nothing to change the world, but really nice vibe-y, hook-filled, atmospheric rock songs with restrained country influences. Now doesn't that sound good?

A MONITOR measuring levels of deadly toxins in a bustling West End street has been out of action for seven months.
The unit on Byres Road went offline in September last year and no data has been recorded since then.
It means that potentially life-threatening levels of cancer-causing pollutants may not have been picked up, putting vulnerable people's lives at risk.
Glasgow City Council is taking legal action against the supplier who has failed to repair the unit.
The revelation follows the news that more than 300 people are being killed every year in Glasgow as a result of air pollution - higher than any other city in Scotland.
As reported in the Evening Times last week, campaigners claim air pollution is Scotland's biggest environmental health threat, killing ten times the number of people that die in traffic accidents.
Across the city levels of deadly pollutants are regularly breaking Scottish standards.
Last year, the Byres Road unit recorded levels of one type of air pollution higher than the limit, leading to fears that the broken monitor might have missed hazardous levels of another type - the deadly particulate pollution it failed to record.
Particulate pollution - caused by traffic - is particularly dangerous to children, the elderly and those with heart and lung conditions.
Local councillor Martha Wardrop said air quality was an "ongoing concern" for the community.
And the problem jars with efforts by the local residents to improve the area and boost its appeal for pedestrians and cyclists.
She said: "Pollution is an ongoing concern for the community and air quality has been a priority for local residents.
"I have come across some people who have just stayed indoors on very hot days.
"If they have got a lung condition it is difficult to walk around in the heat anyway."
Emilia Hanna, from environmental charity Friends of the Earth, said it was disappointing that the Byres Road monitor had been offline for so long.
She said: "Particulates are cancer-causing pollutants caused by traffic, which we know is a problem in this area.
"Levels of particulates in Glasgow are so high that they are breaking Scottish standards, so it is really important that particulates are monitored and kept under control."
A spokesman from Glasgow City Council said: "As the unit is still under warranty we sought to have our supplier repair it as soon as possible.
"Unfortunately, this did not happen and we are currently seeking to take legal action against the supplier."

Alberni cougar attack victim awarded for bravery
A Port Alberni boy who survived a cougar attack last summer was acknowledged for his bravery and given special recognition by the BC Conservation Service.
Conservation officials presented Kaylum Doherty, 8, with a certificate of bravery and a service medal in a special ceremony at the BC Conservation office in Port Alberni. Doherty's father Rick and Bobbi Jo Shafer were presented with bravery awards as well.
"The family experienced a lot of physical and emotional trauma as a result of the event," Conservation Service Chief Kelly Larkin said. "Even getting to safety was a challenge they had to fight through."
The arc of events began on Aug. 15 when Doherty and his parents were camping at the Taylor Flats section of Sproat Lake. Kaylum was attacked and by an adult cougar and left with puncture wounds to his head, back and arm.
Kaylum's parents fought the animal off then loaded the profusely bleeding boy into the family car after finding there was no cellphone reception. The car broke down just as they called 9-1-1. "Kaylum stayed calm through the whole thing," Shafer said. "We were the ones who were panicking."
Kaylum remembered the incident clearly. "I remember when the cougar grabbed me and bit me. I was breathing really hard in the ambulance," he said.
Kaylum has since expressed an interest in becoming a conservation officer, officials said. "It's important to recognize people's bravery in the face of adversity," Larkin said. "Kaylum is a symbol for the conservation service, and a good spokesperson at school."
Conservation officers found and put down the animal that attacked Kaylum. A subsequent necropsy revealed it weighed half as much as it should have and was likely starving.
Rick accepted his award with humility saying his actions weren't out of the ordinary. "I did what any other father would have done in the same situation," he said.
During the recounting of the event, Rick choked back tears and began tremoring while listening. "It's like reliving it and I never want to experience something like that again," he said. "My son is better and safer now though, and that's what's important."
Kaylem's long road to recovery has nearly ended, Rick said. The boy's nightmares are fewer and he's begun to venture into the backyard, Rick said. "It helps that we have a couple of dogs back there now," he said.
The event has had an impact on Richard and Bobbi-Jo's relationship. Counselling has been slow in coming to deal with the trauma of the incident and the couple has separated. "That (lack of counselling) played a role in our separation," Shafer said.
The family hasn't been back to where the attack took place. Nevertheless, they will go camping again, Doherty said. "I grew up outdoors and I don't want Kaylum to miss out on those experiences because of that experience," Doherty said.

We are leaving for Bermuda sat and will have about 30 hrs in port, Kings Wharf. Can anyone tell me the best places to visit and the best transportation to use? I know the bus is the least expensive but will it be too time consuming? Thanks for your help.
The short answer is that the bus is the easiest way around the islands. There is also a wonderful ferry system, yet that runs less frequently, but we still found it very convenient. Here are links to the ferry and bus routes. For the bus routes, use the map for the "Western areas." Verify the ferry times when you get there, in case they change in October.
As for best places to visit -- that depends upon your interests. Are you looking for beaches, history, architecture, nature/zoos, or something else? If it's a little bit of all of the above, what is the most important?
Thanks Lisa..We like most things history architecture and nature mostly. I would love to SEE the prettiest beach/ pink sand but do not have to spend hours there...I am just afraid that I will miss something that is a "must see"..Ok the bus it is..
For history, you won't have to wander far from your ship. The Bermuda Maritime Museum is right there... and a great place to learn the history of Bermuda, along with many artifacts.
You can also take the #7 bus or the ferry to Hamilton, transfer to the #11 for the aquarium and zoo. On the way back, the #7 bus runs by the South Shore beaches (where you'll find the pink sand), but you'll have to get off to see them. There's also the Botanical Garden which is beautiful, but I don't recall the bus that goes there...maybe the #1...but you should be able to find out at the bus station in Hamilton.
Or, maybe, instead of the aquarium and zoo, spend some time in St. George. The quickest way there is by ferry. There are many historical sites there, as well.
Thank you so very much you were a great help..BTW I live in Mass too..
When I went to Bermuda in August 2005, St George did a re-enactment of a 17th century town dunking. Actors dressed up in period costumes and audience was involved. They performed it every day in the town square at noon.
You can get walking maps at the tourist bureau in Hamilton, and St George. Hamilton had a lot of historical museums and buildings on the walking map. Most were free to see.
It's been years since I've been in Bermuda, but Horseshoe Beach stands out in my mind. It was absolutely beautiful. Pink sand, too.
