Many were established performers and others were newcomers on their way up. Of the latter category, I remember most the team of Dan Rowan and Dick Martin. I first encountered them at the Riverside Hotel when they were the third act on the bill that starred Kay Starr, who happened to be the number one songstress at that time. The second act on the bill was Rudy Cardenas, the world's greatest juggler.
The most intriguing thing to me about Rowan and Martin was that they had started out as newspapermen. They would moonlight by writing jokes for comics and when they would perform them at auditions, they were complimented by others who said they did the jokes better than the comics did. Accordingly, they eventually teamed up and put together a night club act of their own. It was many years before they really hit the top in the TV show "Laugh In."
Everyone who caught their act in the early days said that eventually they would be superstars. They proved to be right.
In those early days in Reno, the Entertainment Guide would feature photo stories of different acts. Rowan and Martin proved to be adept performers for these stories. The first one we did involved the two of them at the local newspaper re-enacting their early tabloid days. Since the paper was located on nearby Center Street, it was an easy task to run them over there with the late Don Dondero clicking the shutter on the duo between shows. As the two moved up in show business they were later booked at the Mapes Hotel Skyroom as the top act. Since I had returned to the Mapes from the Riverside, I never failed to catch their show. I can recall sitting with them in their tiny dressing room drinking the warm Pabst beer that was used in their signature act. When I asked them on one occasion why they didn't close their dressing room door, I soon found out why as a half-naked chorus girl glided by. The last time I saw either one of them was when we staged the Clint Eastwood Tennis Tournament at Incline Village in 1975. Rowan was a participant in that event. They rank very high in my estimation of performers.
As for established performers with whom I worked, I would have to name Milton Berle as the tops. He appeared many times in the Mapes Skyroom. At one of those bookings we gave him a police escort from the airport to the hotel. He was in a convertible with several chorus girls and said he would never forget it.
Years later I was traveling on Wilshire Boulevard in Los Angeles with a good friend, Peter Paxton, and we happened to drive past the Hotel Ambassador's Coconut Grove. On the marquee Milton Berle's name was featured. My friend said that he had always wanted to see Berle in person. We made arrangements that night to go to the hotel and catch Milton. We joined a long line of show goers and when we got to the maitre'd's desk we were informed that the show was sold out. Undismayed, I grabbed the nearest house phone and called backstage to Milton's dressing room and explained our predicament. He told me to go back to the maitre'd, and he would place a call to him. We did so and were rewarded with a waiter carrying a table for two up to ringside and the drinks were on "Uncle Miltie."
Another favorite during my stint at the Riverside was the irrepressible Jimmy Durante. In addition to putting on two fabulous shows a night, he would have everyone in the tiny hotel coffee shop in stitches the following morning as he breakfasted with the Wertheimer brothers who ran the gambling and entertainment at the hotel. It was also at the Riverside that two famous names to be appeared in the hotel's tiny lounge. Both were in their teens. One was Wayne Newton and the other was Ann Margaret. We had booked Ann Margaret when her agent called and said he would pay her salary if we would put her on stage. It was her very first appearance and she was billed as Margaret Swensen. Wayne Newton performed with his brother and he was the backup man at that time because his voice had not yet changed.
The record-setting entertainer at the Mapes Skyroom was Lili St. Cyr, whose act consisted of taking a bath in the buff. It was interesting to see her performance from backstage.
The most sophisticated gentleman who ever appeared on the Mapes stage was society band leader Eddie Fitzpatrick. The dapper Irishman who had achieved his reputation in the top hotels in San Francisco was a perennial presence in Reno until the day he died.
Probably the top performer who ever graced the Mapes' stage floorboards was Sammy Davis, Jr. Every time he appeared there his shows were completely sold out. I can recall him waiving apart the clouds of smoke from ringsiders' cigarettes and saying, "I can't see you." In addition to his two-a-nights he would get unreleased movies from Hollywood and show them to friends in the Indian Room of the top floor of the hotel following the midnight show.
Whether they were just starting in show business or at the top of the heap, they all appeared in Reno in those days.

A New Rule Balances Wildlife and Off-Road-Vehicle Use on a North Carolina Beach
Congressional legislation and a pending civil suit threaten the future of a new rule that protects wildlife and allows vehicles on Cape Hatteras National Seashore.
Congressional legislation and a pending civil suit threaten the future of a new rule that protects wildlife and allows vehicles on Cape Hatteras National Seashore.
At last report there are fewer than 40 least tern nests on the intensively managed Ft. Desoto, FL rafts. The Outer Banks should be supporting over a thousand least terns, or somewhere near half North Carolina's population in any given year, making the natural, high-quality habitat there essential to the species' success. Rafts do not meet the needs of other beach-nesting species, nor, obviously, can sea turtles use them. Just a few more facts the ORV fanatics happily ignore in pursuit of their rigid and destructive ideology.
Thank you for your support!
The distribution of the protected species is not global.
The regulations are designed to protect existing habitat, not create/increase habitat.
Why is extinction of any species on a local level just so you can drive on the beach an acceptable alternative to you? Do you know nothing about population ecology? How about the old phrase one shouldn't put all their eggs in one basket?
it is not just about driving on the beach, pedestrian access is very limited as well with huge no access zones. to all you spouting off about what we who live here should or shouldn't do, you need to come out here and see for yourself rather than swallow the donation driving propaganda hook line and sinker. its arrogant and sad that you think you know whats actually going on here. how does the park shooting ospreys and racoons fit into your grand ecology plan?
There's plenty of access for all. Pedestrians have almost the entire seashore in the shoulder seasons and winter and plenty of areas in the summer. e.g. They could walk all the way from the Hatteras Inlet seasonal closure to about a mile east of Ramp 49 if they wished (mid-summer).
But as long as points and spits are being closed a few months so species can procreate, there will always be too much closed. Am I right?
The NPS has no reason to shoot osprey - they're piscivores. Color me incredulous. You have some evidence? As far as raccoons go, what caliber shells do they need? I'll send a few cases.
(p.s. check your assumptions about where people live.)

Friday 7 September, 2012
The APA program marks a new era in the world of transfer pricing administration in India, one that promises to be forward-looking and cooperative. Neither of these are the usual characteristics of transfer pricing audits in India, where more than 50% of the taxpayers (picked up for audit) are struggling with significant adjustments. With the total amount of transfer pricing adjustments adding up to more than US$ 19 billion over a seven year audit cycle (the latest audit cycle completed in 2011 alone contributing to adjustments worth US$ 9 billion), clearly taxpayers have been pushed to the edge in their quest for certainty on transfer pricing matters in India. There was an earnest need to introduce a forum that would offer a conducive environment for up-front addressing the challenges in transfer pricing in India. The global community has therefore applauded the Indian Finance Minister's efforts and vision in introducing India's APA program as part of the Finance Act, 2012.
PwC India had released a white paper on APAs for the benefit of the Indian Revenue and the industry at large, in March, 2011, i.e. more than a year before the APA program was formally announced in the 2012 Union Budget. With the recent issuance of the detailed APA guidelines, PwC would like to invite you to an interactive live webcast on the APA regime in India, on Friday 7 September, 2012.

Teams still searching for perfect solution for grooming young pitchers
A looming dilemma in Cincinnati: With Johnny Cueto's return to the rotation imminent -- he's recovering from a strained lat and could be starting a rehab assignment later this week -- what do the Reds do with Tony Cingrani? The rookie with the video game fastball has been one of the great revelations of the season, with three runs allowed and 28 strikeouts over his first 18 innings. He's blooming into one of Cincinnati's key players, a potential ace for years to come -- and that's why the Reds must consider keeping Mike Leake in the rotation, sending Cingrani back to the minors and telling their phenom, Thanks for your good work. Now see you in September.
Sometime soon the Reds will sit down and talk about a plan for Cingrani, about how the 23-year-old lefthander (who logged 146 innings in the minors a year ago) should be managed and how he fits into the Reds' quest for their first world championship since 1990. "There are some similarities here to what the Nationals faced with Stephen Strasburg," says Reds medical director Timothy Kremchek. "You just don't want a kid like Cingrani throwing 200 innings. If he throws 150 innings, at whatever level he is, and he's ready to hit the playoffs and ready to go in September -- well, that's a huge plus."
Kremchek will have a say in the Cingrani decision; a year ago when the Nats decided to shut down Stephen Strasburg, Kremchek "strongly applauded the decision. Look, Strasburg could have pitched, dominated, and helped the Nats win the World Series -- you don't know," he says. "But you do know that if he hurt himself again, based on track records of pitchers who hurt themselves again [after having Tommy John surgery], that you've lost 10 years of one of the premier pitchers in baseball. Do you want to take that chance?"
Innings limits will be an issue for the Reds and other contending teams like the Cardinals (with Shelby Miller), Braves (Kris Medlen), and A's (Dan Straily), to name just a few. Developing talented young pitchers into durable aces remains the biggest challenge facing teams: healthy starting pitching is the most valuable currency in the game, and despite all the advances in sports medicine and nutrition, despite the advances in Tommy John surgery and rehabilitation, investing in young pitching remains a high risk/reward proposition.
CORCORAN: 'Forearm tightness' raises red flags for Strasburg, Nats
There have been reminders again this week, with both Strasburg and Dylan Bundy dealing with troubling arm issues, that no one seems to have all the answers. Late Monday night Nats manager Davey Johnson told reporters that Strasburg was experiencing forearm tightness, and that his young pitcher would have to prove he's ready before making his next scheduled start, though Washington general manager Mike Rizzo said Strasburg would remain on schedule.
And there was the news earlier in the day that Bundy, the best pitching prospect in baseball, would be shut down for six weeks, after visiting with Dr. James Andrews in Florida. Bundy's golden right arm has been as carefully calibrated and finely tuned as a NASA instrument over the years, and still the phenom has struggled this year with tightness in his arm. On Monday he underwent an injection of platelet-rich plasma, and will be sidelined from baseball activities for at least six weeks. Surgery is still a possibility, and so the nervous waiting in Baltimore continues.
Bundy could still very well be the best starter in the O's rotation a year from now, but his injury is a reminder that there is no perfect pitching prospect. And there are certainly no sure things, not even Strasburg a year after he was so carefully managed by the Nats. "The Rays do it better than most teams," says an AL executive, of developing and maintaining young arms. "It's something every organization is putting a ton of resources into -- and not necessarily getting all the results. You can be as careful as possible, you can do everything you can, but things can still go wrong."
Every organization is haunted by failures with young pitchers, including the Reds. "You go back to a first round pick like Chris Gruler, or a guy like Ty Howington, pitchers we drafted so high but burned out with all the number of innings early on they took on and because we didn't have them do the right type of rehab program," says Kremchek, Cincinnati's team doctor for 15 years. "We've come a long way. Now we have a list of the top 15 pitches in the organization that we are all over, not only on their exercises and educating them on their conditioning program, but also watching the innings pitched and the types of pitches that they throw."
"A great example of this is when we drafted Mike Leake out of Arizona State -- we drafted him in June and shut him down for the rest of the summer, and it pissed him off, and it pissed his agent off," he says. "But if you've pitched a fair amount in college, we're not going to bring you to rookie league and have you pitch a lot there too. We're going to shut you down and teach you the ways of how to become a professional pitcher at this young age. And so far it's worked. You have to make those hard calls sometimes."
Three years ago Cingrani had just completed a disastrous junior season at Rice when he walked into his manager's office and asked, "Do you even want me back?" Cingrani's stuff even then was too good to ignore. Now he's an X-factor for the Reds in the NL Central race, but the team still understands that Cingrani could be better served by spending the his summer in the minors, where the organization can more easily manage his innings and let him develop his secondary pitches.
Should the Reds send Cingrani down and save him for September and October? Did the Nationals do the right thing with Strasburg? Should the Orioles have done anything differently with Bundy? "These are all tough questions," says Kremchek, "with no easy answers."

As a newcomer to the Search Engine Optimisation industry, I was very surprised by the amount of different ways SEO can be implemented on a website that you would never see or understand unless you knew what to look for. My own personal experience of SEO, despite having over 6 years of web development under my belt, was limited compared to what I learned in my first week. To me, SEO was getting your Meta Keywords and descriptions included on each page, and submitting your website to a search engine such as Google. Now that I have had the chance to work for a company specialising in SEO, I have learned more in 1 week about Search Engine Optimisation than I have in over 6 years of web development. What shocked me most was finding out how un-optimised my own websites were after showing them to my colleagues. Within seconds of seeing the sites, they pointed out well over a dozen things I could modify to make the site more optimised. I have to admit, I always thought my sites were doing well with the traffic they receive given I have no advertising.Read more »

3 Things You Can Do For Your SEO Campaign
When running a Search Engine Optimisation, there is a great amount of work to do and continuous effort is required. Even when working with SEO consultants, it is still vital that you contribute to your SEO Campaign in any way you can. There are three simple things you can do each day when you wake up which can help ensure you run an effective and productive SEO campaign. The first task for you when you wake up is to visit your website. This may seem unnecessary but problems often occur within websites and the sooner they are noticed and rectified the better. Read through the Content within your web pages, check on all of your internal links and generally make sure everything is working as it should be. When working so hard to direct traffic to your website, it is a terrible waste to then disappoint your visitors with obvious errors and avoidable mistakes. Ensure visitors to your site can find relevant information quickly and easily and that they can navigate their way around your web pages successfully. The second thing you should be doing each morning is checking your social networking profiles.Read more »

Building Back Links And SEO
One of the best ways to drive traffic to your website is to hire a virtual assistant to do SEO and back linking. Backlinks are links from other websites that drive traffic to your site. The more links you have posted online, the easier it is for more people to stumble on your website. Backlinks, when posted by the owner of another website serve as recommendations. If you are the one who posted the links by way of comments in blogs and other channels, these links may not serve as recommendations but they can still draw readers to your site. This is because if you posted something interesting online or if you manage to create an interesting character or persona online, people will be curious to learn more about your business and will most likely click on the link that you posted. When you post links online, every time someone gets curious to know more about you and your business, they will click on the link you posted. It can be incredibly helpful for your business to post interesting information online and then link back to your website. Another way backlinks can be beneficial for your business is how they can help you get good ranking with the search engines.Read more »

A Startup SEO Lesson
While SEO is merely a component of the marketing mix, it's one of few things a company can do to drive some immediate traffic. The name of this blog is Marketing Trenches. We chose that name because we like to give readers real stories, based on real situations, with real clients. From the trenches, if you will. We're currently working with a startup software company on various facets of their official launch. We work with lots of software companies, and a few startups, but this one is different. First of all, the company is funded, which is no small feat these days. Second, the co-founders are very bright and experienced, but also understand that - as Will would say - they don't know what they don't know. Last but not least, they recognize the value of good marketing, even though it's not their specialty. One of the areas this company (and by the way, you'll hear plenty about them upon launch in a couple of weeks) has been particularly interested in is SEO, and for good reason. While SEO is merely a component of the marketing mix, it's one of few things a company can do to drive some immediate traffic and even brand awareness without spending "media" dollars.Read more »

What Apple's Mobile Plans Means for SEO
Apple plans to launch a new mobile ad platform this week could complicate search engine marketers' efforts to integrate mobile search into their operations. It could also, though, deliver more targeted campaigns for clients, depending on how rich a data store Apple has compiled from iTunes and the App Store. No details have been released about the new mobile ad system, though some speculation has it that Apple may offer hypertargeting capabilities which would allow advertisers to target consumers based on their geographic proximity to specific locations, which could lead to location-based advertising beyond what is possible now. At the same time, Apple will be going head-to-head with Google's mobile offerings on the Android platform. For search engine marketers and their efforts to incorporate mobile into the mix, that spells complications. Certainly it will require dual approaches until one platform becomes the obvious dominant one.Read more »

Google to open SEO agency called Google SEO
Vertical Measures has learned that Google, Inc. is expected to unveil plans to launch its own SEO agency as early as May 2010, according to sources close to the situation.Google is putting together an SEO team of approximately 100 employees because it feels like it needs to set the standard in an industry that often gets criticized from the outside. Google SEO will strive to only use the most ethical best practices to increase rankings without adding to the spam glut on the Internet. This implies that Google SEO will become the only search agency in the world that can guarantee first-page rankings because they have total access to the infamous algorithm.
But these rankings will come with a price. Early estimates call for the average minimum spend per client to be in the $25,000 a month range, so only serious players need apply here.e formal announcement, expected next week, is sure to send shockwaves through the SEO industry. "Google entering into the search sphere will change the game," said Vertical Measures President Arnie Kuenn. "How can you compete with Google itself? No longer are we just dancing with the elephant, we are competing with it for our very livelihood."

The Persian Expedition
Xenophon - Author
Rex Warner - Translator
George Cawkwell - Introduction by
'The only things of value which we have at present are our arms and our courage'
In The Persian Expedition, Xenophon, a young Athenian noble who sought his destiny abroad, provides an enthralling eyewitness account of the attempt by a Greek mercenary army – the Ten Thousand – to help Prince Cyrus overthrow his brother and take the Persian throne. When the Greeks were then betrayed by their Persian employers, they were forced to march home through hundreds of miles of difficult terrain – adrift in a hostile country and under constant attack from the unforgiving Persians and warlike tribes. In this outstanding description of endurance and individual bravery, Xenophon, one of those chosen to lead the retreating army, provides a vivid narrative of the campaign and its aftermath, and his account remains one of the best pictures we have of Greeks confronting a 'barbarian' world.
Rex Warner's distinguished translation captures the epic quality of the Greek original and George Cawkwell's introduction sets the story of the expedition in the context of its author's life and tumultuous times.

When preparing a tax return, one of the first decisions we make is to pick a filing status. Filing status determines which tax rates apply to our income and determines our standard deduction. Filing status is based on two general factors: whether a person is married or not, and whether a person has closely-related dependents.
There are five different filing status:
- Single
- Head of household
- Married, filing jointly
- Married, filing separately
- Qualifying widow (or widower) with dependent child
Each has slightly different eligibility criteria. A flow chart may help assist taxpayers in making filing status decisions. I found the following two charts.
The first chart I found comes from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology:
Source: MIT.
The second chart I found comes from Publication 4012, page B-1, which is too large to post here, so I extracted the chart and posted it separately.
The Internal Revenue Service has an interactive tool on their Web site called What is My Filing Status? The tool asks a series of questions to help you determine the most appropriate filing status for your situation.

I am in New Zealand and cannot view the new Logitech or Zaggfolio keyboards as they are not released here yet.
I want to order one online - what is the best keyboard. I do have a soft cover for it and know the Logitech does not protect the back. Just want to know which is the best keyboard to use and which looks best. Thanks

Nanoscience and Nanotechnology Research Areas
Like many future areas of scientific exploration, nanoscience and nanotechnology exist on the borders between disciplines. No longer is research conducted in a neat, compartmentalized fashion that closely parallels the structure of academic departments. Nanoscience and nanotechnology bring together students, researchers, and industrial partners from a host of different specialized fields.
At Georgia Tech, the Schools of Chemistry, Chemical & Biomolecular Engineering, Electrical and Computer Engineering, Materials Science and Engineering, and Physics, and the Georgia Tech Research Institute are collectively involved in interdisciplinary research in nanoscience and nanotechnology that encompass five major areas:
Synthesis and Characteristics of Nanomaterials
The study of innovative ways to synthesize materials using nanomaterials' unique properties provides a strong basis for important nanoscience and nanotechnology breakthroughs. From inquiries into the properties of gold quantum dots to revolutionary work with carbon nanotubes, Georgia Tech researchers are focused on uncovering the unique properties of nanomaterials that are the stepping stones to tomorrow's technologies.
Properties of Nanomaterials
Tiny pens with built-in heaters used to write microscopic letters invisible to the naked human eye, lasers blinking at speeds a million times faster than a camera flash-these are a few of the research tools Georgia Tech scientists use to study the characteristics of nanomaterials in order to harness their power for technological innovations.
Nanoscale Modeling and Simulation
Georgia Tech scientists know that small is different. That's why they rely on innovative technological partnerships in diverse fields of study to uncover the secrets of nanomaterials, using computer simulation and imaging procedures to find golden techniques for revolutionizing our world.
Nanodevices, Nanophotonics, and Nanosystems
Nanoscale particles display a wide range of fascinating electronic, optical, thermal, and reinforcement properties. Georgia Tech researchers are daily investigating nanomaterials' unique characteristics for revolutionary applications in nanodevices, nanophotonics, and nanosystems.
Nanomedicine and Nano-biotechnology
One of the most important areas of nanoscience and nanotechnology study, nanomedicine and nano-biotechnology research continues to dominate inquiries at the nano-scale level. Georgia Tech researchers are on the cutting edge of this important trend, creating innovative systems for drug delivery and cancer detection.

|Website of Brian Wright
My site still has three main areas: 1) Professional, 2) Political, and 3) Personal, but the information needs to be updated. I'm going to put up the sign below for 'Under Construction.' Check under the respective headings futher down on this page for the former descriptions.
Professionally, there's been a change in focus from my former 'Old Paradigm' work—what you see mainly in 'Professional' below—to a much more creative 'New Paradigm.' The newer way has led to my current main daily bread occupation, which is editing and publishing. In a nutshell, I tend to break my life's activities into the following five categories in roughly this priority:
Of course, these are ideal priorities that do not necessarily reflect the current market value of my activities. I place a high real priority on whoever has a job with cash on the barrelhead, which for the time being in early 2012 is happening for #5. But do not sell the dream short, FLOW and MillionaireX are showing huge imminent potential.
Former Description
What follows is still reasonably close for my activities and interests at the close of 2011, but needs to be reconstructed for 2012 to improve the picture.
The initial realm is professional services, and this is the broad realm of immediately deployable skills for remuneration in the legal tender of the kingdom. (I've never been too devoted a subject of "the kingdom," and will accept gold, Liberty Dollars, or a well-maintained tractor. Just kidding about the tractor.) If you want to know what I can do for you practically—virtually all my distinctly worthwhile services lie in writing and editing—please click on that tab over on the left that says "Professional Services".
Second, as a liberty-loving, cause-oriented dude since basically kindergarten, my political life—aka fighting-for-freedom life—is as important to me as breathing. In late 2006 I created my own political opinion and review Website called the Coffee Coaster. Virtually, all my work in the cause is documented in one form or another through my writings there... along with the work of some fine guest columnists. I typically write a column per week, accompanied by a movie review and, less frequently, a topical book review.
I believe you will find these 'wholistic libertarian' writings "stimulating briefings of opinion and review," and I extend this personal invitation to you to become a regular reader. You may add yourself to my announcement-newsletter list here. This year (2012) my goal is to make my Coffee Coaster forum/blog more active. I would love to have you 'get with me' on the forum/blog. Also please contact me if you would care to contribute a guest column to the Coffee Coaster.
The personal area of the site I haven't yet developed so much, but feel it will become increasingly important in the next decade. I lost my dear brother Forrest in 2007. I am still hoping to produce a Forrest Wright memorial blog in 2012, but, if not, certainly in 2013. Here is a tribute column to my brother.
With respect to personal items, I do have a number of hobbies, chief of which is golf. I've even written a few columns in the Coffee Coaster along these lines. Also, in my second year of moving the Free State of New Hampshire, I roomed with an individual who was quite into online poker, which I found fascinating. (But my online gaming interests tend toward less demanding stuff, esp. via instant casino services ... and more recently, other online casino gaming.) I also enjoy the outdoors "Walden Pond" aspect of the Granite State... and intellectual pursuits you may hopefully find in the pages of the Coffee Coaster.
Brian Wright
[1] Not to make light of the current political crisis we face as the Old Paradigm dies and the New Paradigm emerges. Please take a view of my recommended reading list here. In moving from human to transhuman—to paraphrase Nietzsche, walking a tightrope over an abyss—the power-sick ones will necessarily fight their end of days, possibly with horrific effect.
This page shows my own literary output to this point:
More work to do. Please donate here as the spirit moveth thee.
I have a special fondness for Peter McWilliams, who has inspired so many people in the libertarian movement and all over the world for personal freedom and creative excellence. Enjoy this wonderful memorial rendition of Peter's life.

Fall Abundance Wreath
- Summary
Composed of preserved cherry peppers, Japanese lanterns, marjoram, yarrow, broom corn and safflower, this wreath celebrates autumn's vibrant palette. Artisans at a California farm arrange the botanicals by hand in a bed of bay leaves, wheat and preserved leaves. For decorative use only. Protect from weather. 20" diam. A Williams-Sonoma exclusive.
- Use & Care
- Upon receipt, carefully cut the cable ties securing the wreath and gently remove it from the box.
- The fresh and dried natural materials used in the wreath are intended for display indoors or in a sheltered outdoor area. Avoid direct sunlight and excessive heat, which will cause the materials to fade and become fragile. As fresh botanicals age, it is natural for their colors to fade and their leaves to curl slightly.
- If you choose to hang your wreath outdoors, protect it from the sun, wind and rain.
- It is normal for natural materials to shed. The extra fullness of our wreath is intended to compensate for any unavoidable shedding during shipping.
- To minimize shedding, it is best to not move it once it has been hung.
- To clean your wreath, lightly dust its leaves with a soft paintbrush or feather duster.
- Shipping

baby handHad a baby lately? I've got good news and bad news for you. The United States isn't the worst place in the world for a baby to be born. Then again, it's not the best either.
In fact, being born in the old U.S. of A. isn't a whole lot better than coming into the world in certain Middle Eastern countries! At least, that's the word from the Economist Intelligence Unit, a sister company of the magazine The Economist, that decided to look at everything from geography to the political climate of countries around the world to determine whether kids have a chance at health, safety, and prosperity in their birth countries.

Love this tea! I received some from my daughter for Christmas and I will be a regular customer now ordering on line as cannot find in stores. Great flavor! Just the right amount of everything!
Years ago, I got hooked on a specialty tea made by a foreign tea company. But it was full of caffeine. I gave it up because I drink about 6 cups a day. I really missed that tea. Then I tried Ginger Snappish. Oh I thought I was hallucinating. This was the flavor I had loved so much. Now I can have all I want without the caffeine and the shakes. Thank you Bigelow. Your teas are the best anywhere. Ruthie
I have this tea in my tea box even thought it's not Christmas yet, It's still nice to have with the flavor it has with a dash of sugar It is well made tea worthy of any cold night in December
I am so impressed with the results we got with this tea. My 94 year old father was very congested and the cold medicines messed with his blood pressure. I added a teaspoon of honey to a hot cup of Ginger Snappish and in 4 days he is doing sooooo much better and his BP is normal! I will keep Bigelow on my shelf.
Love this tea, it is so so flavorful and soothing to the stomach. I wish my store carried it all year 'round. They sold out before I had a chance to stock-up!
This has been my favorite tea for a few years now! I buy as much as I can during the holidays so I can drink it all year! So yummy!
This is by far the best tea I have ever tried.. it is like a light version of a Chai Tea. I picked it up just by chance and now cant get enough of it..and I cant find it in any stores..Try this tea you will love it.
I love gingersnaps and couldn't wait to try this. How disappointing! It was awful! It tastes like Pledge! and nothing like a gingersnap, I couldn't even finish the cup.
My dad's girlfriend at the time bought a box of this wonderful tea last christmas and it's been my favorite since. I managed to get a second box before it went out of season and have been using it as sparingly as possible. I'm down to two left! I'm so excited to buy a case of this, so i can have my favorite tea everyday!
I was dubious when I found this tea among others in the news room, but I thought I would give it a try. My first cup, and I was hooked on the tasty smell and the flavor. I only wish they sold it around me. I'm almost out!!
I found this tea 2 or 3 Christmas' ago. I fell in love! Could not find it after Holidays so the next year I bought out about 3 stores and had about 15 boxes. JUST got me through the year. This year could not find it ANYWHERE. Had friends and family looking everywhere in CA and AZ. No luck. I was so bummed. I open a gift from my husband Christmas morning and found a case he had ordered online. I got some pretty great gifts this year but this was my favorite!!
I finally found this tea in our "local" Amish grocery store that actually isn't that local (several towns away). I've been trying to find it for several years in the larger surrounding cities, but no luck. So, I was totally excited to find it and try a box. After trying the first bag, I sent my Husband back to the store to buy out all that they had left. This is the best tea for a nice, relaxing herb tea. This is smooth and sort of buttery and spicy at the same time with a lemony after taste - wonderful! I wish I could find it all year. Hopefully, all of the boxes my hubby bought will last me through until next season!
I love this flavor among others offered by Bigelow. I am thrilled that I can find them at Christmas Tree shop.
Had recieved a sample of this tea and just tried it for the first time. WOW! Very smooth, nice almost buttery taste. Very soothing. Both my husband and I got drowsy about 30 minutes later. Great bedtime tea. Will be ordering a case of this for sure!
Last year at Christmas I discovered this tea at our local supermarket and just love it. When I found out it was only offered during the holidays, I stocked up and, using it sparingly, just ran out a couple of weeks ago. I'm thrilled to see that this wonderfully flavored, caffeine free tea is offered on your website. It's not in our supermarket yet. I hope that it will now be available throughout the year so I can buy it by the case from you directly. Thank you.
I picked this box up by chance along with ginger bread and eggnog. I use the last two as fragrance...... But Ginger Snappish is by far the best tea I have ever drank in my life. Its fantastic. I myself like ginger cookies, but feel bad eating them cause their... not really healthy. But I can have all the cookies I want in a tea bag. I even bought a coffie maker that I put these tea bags in. ITS SO GOOOOD! Thanks so much for making this awsome tea, i can't get enough. When I get the money, I think im going to buy As many as im able. I can't get enough. Puts me into zen mode and lets me relax. Thank you again.
This tea is the best! The thing thats so great about it is that it never runs out. Its like Jesus feeding the 5 thousand! I always find another one in the drawer! Its a miracle...oh and its delicious!
This tea is the only thing that helps me with morning sickness, and no caffeine! I love love love it!
Love Ginger Snappish Too! YUM!!!!
This is my all-time favorite tea! I drink alot of tea and have tried many, many flavors. I would love to see Ginger Snappish stick around all year!!
Couldn't find this tea after Christmas. Down to my last bag. My daughter-in-law wants more too! Love it and will be drinking it year-round. So thrilled I can purchase case online. Thank you!
I have enjoyed this tea for 2 seasons now and have given several boxes as gifts. Everyone that has tried it absolutely loves it! PLEASE consider making this tea available year round.
This is a soft, buttery-tasting, delicious tea that has body without being sour or leaving any aftertaste. I just discovered it this year and will buy it in the winter henceforth.
This tea has a great zippy lemony taste and the ginger warms you up.
Love to drink this in the evening - bought up the stores entire stock when they were clearing out their holiday products last year. Not to strong ginger flavor and not to strong lemon flavor - really well balanced.
This is one of the most flavorful teas I have ever teasted! Most ginger times I've tried have been too strong. Bigelow has perfected a wonderful blend to create their Ginver Snappish tea! I'm just sorry it's not available year-long. It's difficult to find in the supermarkets where I live. This year I will be stocking up enough to last me for several months! Thank you, Bigelow, for this truly wonderful tasting tea!
I am a morning coffee drinker normally, but this tea is for all time. It is especially a joy with crispy Swedish gingersnaps. It is happiness in a warm cup. Never stop making this tea. Perfect!
I found this at the grocery store last winter and it quickly became by go-to tea. Just perfect for cold evenings. I love that its caffeine-free, so I can drink it right before bed. I have not seen it in stores since, so I am hoarding the three bags I have left!
Why is it only available in stores during the holiday months? It's so delicious. It should be available all year long.

Phase-out of methyl bromide in tobacco
Zimbabwe is an important consumer of methyl bromide in Africa, particularly for soil fumigation of tobacco and horticultural products. The quality of tobacco produced and exported depends on the quality of seedlings and Methyl Bromide is used to protect tobacco seedlings from a large number of different pests.
The Government of Zimbabwe, working through the Ministry of Environment and Tourism, has undertaken to phase-out the use of methyl bromide in tobacco seedlings by end of 2009/10.
An environmentally friendly "Floating Tray" technology will be adopted as a replacement technology. The Floating Tray technology also enhances productivity of tobacco farmers and is frequently used in other tobacco producing countries with ongoing methyl bromide phase-out projects such as Brazil, China, Cuba, Croatia and Macedonia.
The project enables Zimbabwe to fulfil its obligation under the Montreal Protocol five years before its deadline for methyl bromide phase-out of 2015. This project is being implemented in partnership with the Tobacco Research Board, a quasi government organization.

Disney CEO Robert Iger said that dealing with the "fiscal cliff" — when $600 billion in spending cuts and tax increase hit the economy at the start of 2013 — is not something that can fall prey to the typical Washington rhetoric and must be dealt with immediately.
In an interview with CNBC's "Closing Bell" on Thursday, Iger said, "My exhortation to our government is don't even get close to the fiscal cliff. Deal with it immediately and deal with it productively. Don't threaten the country and our economy."
Iger was optimistic that politicians could reach a deal.
"There's a lot of commitment expressed by both parties about bipartisanship and addressing what I think is a huge issue," Iger said. "I hope there really is going to be an attempt at getting something done." (Read More: Boehner Extends Olive Branch on 'Fiscal Cliff'.)
The Disney executive would like to see corporate tax reform as part of any potential deal to boost economic growth. With U.S. corporate tax rates the highest in the world, Iger said that the U.S. is less competitive and potential growth is being undermined.
He advocated not only reducing the tax rate but also closing some of the loopholes.
"That would make the country far more competitive," Iger said. "I hope that the president and Congress are very mindful of that."

"The Game" is a project designed to simplify the process of producing any high-quality cross-platform 2D or 3D graphical computer game. The hope is that any game can be produced simply by changing a few settings and pressing a "compile" button. The project has three "deliverables": a game engine library to abstract across the set of all possible computer games (applying object-oriented design methods to the general problem in such a way as to be usable in specific instances); a graphical interface for easy game design (an exercise in human interface design); and a gaming package with a lot of shiny games to play.
ScummVM is an interpreter and emulator for several classic graphic point-and-click adventure games. Support is currently available for: Adventure Soft's Simon the Sorcerer 1 and 2; Revolution's Beneath A Steel Sky, Broken Sword 1, and Broken Sword 2; Flight of the Amazon Queen; Wyrmkeep's Inherit the Earth; Coktel Vision's Gobliiins; and games based on LucasArts' SCUMM (Script Creation Utility for Maniac Mansion) system. The latter includes titles such as Monkey Island, Day of the Tentacle, Sam and Max, The Dig, and more.
The Z-machine Preservation Project is a Java implementation of the Z-machine (Java version >= 5 is required) specification. This Z-code interpreter can be run either as a standalone application or as an applet within a Web browser. It runs Interactive Fiction created by Infocom as well as those compiled with Inform, and targets all existing story file versions. Features include saving the game state, multimedia support (graphics, sound effects, meta data), colored and styled text, undo, and timed input as well as support for different languages. Games in the Inform 7 release format are supported as well (Treaty of Babel specification).
Macao is a framework based on Javascript and DHTML to build animated interactive homepages. It is intended to build graphic adventures and other animated interactive fiction. Macao-based games don't need any plugin and can be hosted on static Web servers. The framework comes with a step-by-step tutorial and a complete Java-style API documentation. It has a Road Editor and other useful tools.
A modern task tracking application that follows open standards and supports tags, subtasks, and more.

Ellie Mae confirms no breach of data in recent outage
Ellie Mae reported its conclusion that the recent outage to its Encompass services was not a result of a malicious attack and confirmed that there was no breach of customer data. The characteristics of the outage initially appeared to the Company to be consistent with a distributed denial of service, or DDoS, attack. However, following a thorough review of the incident, with assistance from a leading security and cybercrime forensics firm, Ellie Mae has now concluded that there was no malicious attack on its systems. Accordingly, the company confirmed there was no breach of client or personal borrower data. The unexpected surge in service requests to web servers that resulted in the outage on March 31, was triggered by a confluence of factors involving network, hardware, software and demand for service. Ellie Mae has already taken a number of steps in response to this incident, including adding capacity and redistributing traffic across its data centers. The IT infrastructure has been functioning normally since mid-afternoon Pacific Daylight Time on April 1, 2014.

Mercer Veterinary Clinic for the Homeless
Mercer Veterinary Clinic's home at Loaves and Fishes is in jeopardy. We originally anticipated that Loaves and Fishes would be tearing down the warehouse we use some time next year, but we were recently informed that the building will come down in early June 2013.
Through extensive fundraising, we have raised nearly $95,000 (as of May 25, 2013) to purchase two portable trailers to convert into a permanent clinic. We will be able to treat animals in individual exam rooms, perform surgeries in a fully-stocked surgical suite, and store prescription veterinary diets, pharmaceutical and lab equipment. Another important component of the new trailers will be an isolation room which will help to control the spread of infectious agents. Our leadership team has been working tirelessly to oversee the construction of these various components, which must meet stringent standards according to the American Veterinary Medical Association. The clinic will provide invaluable opportunity for the students in high quality medicine, practice management, budgeting, client relationships and technical skills.
We are in desperate need of additional funding to support the continued construction and transform the units into a fully-functional veterinary clinic. The total purchase, construction and renovation of the clinic is estimated at $150,000, so we are in desperate need of an additional $55,000 in donations. While the clinic is run by UC Davis students, we act as our own non-profit agency independent of university and do not receive funding from them, so it is imperative that we reach to the community for support. Your consideration will allow us to continue to provide high-quality veterinary care to the homeless pet population of Sacramento.
This year marks Mercer Veterinary Clinic's 20th anniversary, a moment that is celebratory, but also devastating. Our short-term goal is to raise this additional $55,000 to get us up and running. These animals have stuck by their owners through thick and thin, and are often their only family and friend. Please help us save them.
Please visit the Mercer Clinic Donations page to help us reach our goal.

I've found that the poorest of the poor (like the children in the barrios of Mexico willing to share with me their meals when they barely had enough for themselves) are usually far more generous than the wealthy.
Featuring a non-stop series of free outdoor concerts, innovative pro fashion, photography and film competitions and industry parties, World Ski & Snowboard Festival takes Whistler by storm each April. And after sampling the opening weekend of this year's edition, I can safely say that this 10-day party is well worth attending -- even if you don't know a half pipe from a drain pipe.
Paradise isn't on some far-flung, pricey South Pacific island; actually, it's in Europe. Greece, to be precise.
Chances are, if you're not planning a summer trip that involves sinking your toes in the sand or sitting around a crackling campfire, you're contemplating taking a cruise.
Canadians can handle winters... well, most winters. However this year has pushed everyone past their breaking points, leaving us feeling beaten down. With the first...
What can you possibly do for this year's big beercation?
All eyes around the world are currently fixated Down Under, where the royal family are currently causing a big stir with their official tour. The photogenic trio now begin their descent upon Australia, where they'll no doubt be given the ultimate in five-star treatment.
Many people equate the word "tours" with the typical big bus excursions led by flag-toting guides that seen at every major tourist attraction around the world. But not all tours are the same.
It's a mistake to think that South East Asia is a low-budget destination, especially when it comes to the glittering levels of consummate luxury to be found in this region.
Spooky stuff began to happen in 1930 when a new family moved in. They claimed to see the ghost of their son, a young war hero who had died in WWI.
It's been a long hard winter of shoveling snow and chipping ice and the guys just need to be let out to play.
Any sculpture or monument has the potential to be impressive, but there's something about the intricate carving of stone that has fascinated the masses as far back as ancient Egyptian times (some might argue longer).
The travel industry seems transparent these days -- for example, you can compare fares yourself with flight-search websites. But there are still a few tricks of the trade that travel insiders and providers don't want to share.
If your motto is "Have family, will travel," you'll be glad to know that Europe is within your reach.
Don't believe the hype! These popular but disappointing destinations are more letdown than must-see.
First and foremost, it's a family vacation. So, you'll want to make sure you plan enough fun things to keep your entire family entertained and happy during the trip. You may be worried about the race, but the rest of your family shouldn't be.

Close to my destination. Extremely helpful and courteous staff!
i am not that familiar with downtown Baltimore and this helped make our trip more enjoyable. We were within short walking distance to Baltimore Arena. The only thing that could have been easier would have been if we didnt have to go to cashier to get a ticket for the machine and we had forgotten our receipt in our car, so we had to go back down to the cashier for the ticket. Also, since we didnt arrive early, we ended up on the top level and it took about 30 minutes to get out of the parking lot, since we had prepaid we thought we should have had a reserved space closer to the entrance.
Close to the Arena. Easy to drive in and drive out. Nice staff. Well worth booking ahead and paying prior to the event.
Having no idea exactly where we were going, I was a little concerned about the distance of the garage to the B'more arena but my fears were unfounded! This garage is literally across the street from the arena and a very easy walk. At the end of the concert, we went back to the garage and went to the parking office (which is on the 1st floor and there are no windows or anything so it's not super easy to find) and there was a sign to ring the bell if you were a ParkWhiz customer. So, I did and they validated my ticket and we were out of there. We saved $3 over the advertised cost but honestly, I think you could have just pulled up and not reserved at all. Reserving parking seemed to only save us $3 but I think if the garage had been full we would have been out of luck.
It was very unorganized when exiting the parking lot ..It took us 40 minutes to get out...The parking spaces were tight. But the garage was very close to arena stadium which was great!!
A very pleasent experience.
This is a five story cement parking garage. The entrance is located on the east side of S Howard St just south of Lombard St. Look for a green parking sign with white lettering.
Vehicle height restriction: 80 inches
Managed by LAZ Parking (Baltimore). This location is a commercial parking garage.

The garage is located behind the Days Inn on the corner of Lombard and Howard St. The main entrance is on Howard. When you come in from 295, make a right on Pratt St and then a left on Howard. We are the first garage on the right. From 95, go past the convention center, crossing Pratt Street then a right into the garage.

text: Support for Nurses Starting any new job is a big transition. It's important to get off on the right foot. It's even more important when you are a nurse providing direct patient care. At Legacy, our mission is to maintain the highest standards of clinical quality and patient safety. We provide many opportunities for newly graduated nurses and nurses who are new to Legacy to learn and become comfortable with Legacy's practices. Following are some examples. Nursing Orientation Every newly hired nurse at Legacy undergoes the six-day General Nursing Orientation (GNO) to give them a solid understanding of Legacy philosophies, policies and protocols. The program includes a competency assessment class, electronic medical record class, three clinical didactic classes and an orientation skills day with equipment competencies, simulation training and an open computer lab. Staff nurses and clinical experts from a variety of disciplines within Legacy present the topics. Preceptors New nurses at Legacy are assigned to a nurse preceptor to help them transition into their role at Legacy. This one-to-one relationship provides the new hire with a uniquely tailored educational experience that meets the new hire's clinical practice learning needs and also provides a role model, mentoring, and a resource he/she can call on, often long after the preceptorship ends. As Kim Harris, R.N., says, "I drive an hour every day to work at Legacy. I could have worked at a hospital much closer, but I really liked the preceptor program — I wanted to be a safe and conscientious nurse. I want to do a good job." Simulation Training Legacy has taken a leading role in simulation training with the construction of the Simulation Lab at the Carl Peterson Clinical Education Center at Legacy Emanuel Medical Center. Simulation training is part of general nursing orientation for all new hires. The lab includes three SimMan electronic dummies, a birthing simulator and a child simulator. Simulation training offers a variety of clinical environments and the simulation dummies come with a dizzying array of scenarios for testing and training purposes. The simulation training provides a safe atmosphere for new hires to learn and review skills that would otherwise require live patients. The result is improved competency, confidence and team collaboration for employees and improved safety and clinical care for patients. Rapid Response Teams Every Legacy hospital has a Rapid Response Team (RRT) available 24 hours a day to assist any staff nurse who determines an patient's condition is deteriorating. When called, the RRT rushes to the patient and works side-by-side with the nurse and physician to provide whatever treatment is necessary. An RRT is a group of critical care specialists who are available to rush to the bedside of any patient whose condition seems to be becoming worse. The Rapid Response Team is not intended to supplant the patient's doctor or to take over for the nurse, but rather to work side-by-side with these caregivers. The growing use of RRTs is based on research that shows it is best to treat patients early in their decline, before a crisis occurs. Hospitals using RRTs report reductions in cardiac arrests, unplanned transfers to the ICU and overall mortality rates. Legacy's Rapid Response Teams include an ICU nurse, respiratory therapist and resident. Primary tasks of the RRT are responding to requests for RRT intervention; consulting with each patient's primary nurse and physician; assessing patients with the primary nurse; providing treatments and interventions using established protocols; assisting with the treatment plan for the patient; and completing documentation. Typical examples are a post-transplant patient whose blood pressure drops, an ED patient with shallow breathing and low blood pressure, or a surgical patient with breathing problems. Staff comments include: "We could have lost him had it not been for the RRT. . . . After each event, we reviewed what we did as a team. I've learned so much from them." and "I'm glad the RRT was there to help. I want to give my patients the very best care possible. . . . It makes me less stressed that I have someone to call if a patient's condition is going downhill."

Cars pushing more than 600 horsepower took riders on a free obstacle course of professional racecar driving.
Norme Behaven of Reno summed it up with a few words after stepping out of his car: "Fantastic! What a hoot!"
Hot August Nights announced earlier this year that in celebration of its 26th year, organizers were debuting the exhilarating Ride and Drives, allowing passengers to ride with professional drivers as they raced at professional speeds in the newest and most popular Chevy Corvettes on the road.
The event Tuesday took place from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. in the parking lot of the resort.
"We are thrilled to welcome the Ride and Drives to this year's event and know they will be one of the activities that make our 26th year unforgettable," said Tony Marini, executive director of Hot August Nights to a Reno-area news organization.
The rides were free to the public as long as the rider could show proof of a valid Nevada driver's license and took a breathalizer test before the ride.
The riders were able to drive the track one time on their own with a professional driver by their side, and once with the driver taking the wheel. Each vehicle was equipped to take a real-time video, which was then made available for the passenger to email to themselves to watch and share with friends and family. Participants had to be 18 years old or older.
Mike T., who preferred not to use his full last name, said he enjoyed watching the event but didn't take part in it. The owner of a 1037 Buick, he and his relatives come to Hot August Nights every year from Santa Cruz County, Calif.
"I think it's fun," he said. "It's free, too. (The event) looks a little smaller because of the gas and heat, but it's always a fun time."

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- A toddler nearly drowned on Tuesday at a Westside daycare center that never applied for a license.
A 2-year-old boy was rushed to Wolfson Children's Hospital in critical condition after police say he was pulled from a pool behind a Westside house Tuesday afternoon.
Action News has learned an unlicensed daycare center called Kiddie Heaven Daycare has been operating out of that same house on Ireland Drive. The business has a website featuring photos of children playing in the pool, but it doesn't have a license to operate a daycare center.
"They have a website; that is pretty brazen. We were very surprised by that," said John Harrell, a spokesman for the Department of Children and Families.
According to DCF, the daycare business inquired about a license with the agency in March. But the two women running Kiddie Heaven never applied for a license.
Neighbors tell Action News that women opened the daycare business a few weeks ago and would typically care for more than a half-dozen children.
Police say their investigation reveals children were playing in the pool Tuesday and all got out safely. Then somehow the 2-year-old boy re-entered the water.

Unison Groupware Demo Now Available
Unison is a groupware product first presented at Cebit 2008 that combines PBX telephony, a groupware server, instant messaging and directory services with its own Windows client. An online trial version is available for anyone interested in the product.
US software vendor Unison has thus produced a genuine alternative to Exchange. Unison runs on Linux servers and supports both Web access and its own native client. The client is already available as a full-fledged replacement for Outlook on Windows systems with a native Linux groupware client due to follow: "We should have a version of our Linux client available by late summer" Chief Marketing Officer Rurik Bradbury revealed to Linux Magazine.
Standard groupware functions such as email, address book and calendar are just the start, says Bradbury: Unison also offers IP and PBX telephony, synchronization with mobile devices, instant messaging and in office/out of office display, directory integration: a MySQL database and integrated anti-virus and anti-spam software round off the feature set.
The first demo of the proprietary groupware product is now available for trials. For more details surf to the Unison website here.
