Q: How does a doctor determine if a patient needs home oxygen therapy?
A: The need for home oxygen therapy is determined by measuring the level of oxygen in an individual's blood. If the test reveals the blood oxygen level is significantly below normal, home oxygen therapy may be prescribed.
Q: How long do patients use oxygen at home?
A: Some people are given additional oxygen temporarily, while others require it on a long-term basis. The physician will determine how long a patient should receive oxygen, how much should be received and whether it is to be delivered continuously or less than 24 hours a day.
Q: Does oxygen help treat the disease causing low oxygen levels?
A: Not directly, since the damage caused by emphysema and other lung diseases are irreversible. However, by increasing the amount of oxygen inhaled into the lungs, more oxygen can be delivered to tissues and cells throughout the body. This relieves many adverse symptoms associated with low blood oxygen levels and improves the overall quality of life.
Q: Can a person receive too much oxygen?
A: Yes. Too much oxygen can be as dangerous as not receiving enough. It can make you tired and sleepy and, in some cases, even block your ability to know when to take the next breath. For that reason, it is important to use only the prescribed amount.
Q: What are some noticeable changes one may see with a patient receiving home oxygen?
A: They will sleep better, be less irritable, remember better, have more energy and suffer fewer depressions. They tolerate exercise better and usually face fewer hospitalization days. In general, these patients live happier, more productive lives.
Q: How will the patient know when the patient no longer needs oxygen?
A: Unfortunately, once the underlying condition exists, the need for oxygen to relieve symptoms usually remains. However, the doctor may use several different methods, such as blood test, oximetry or testing pulmonary functions to determine the patient's capability to properly oxygenate themselves without oxygen.
Q: What is an oxygen concentrator?
A: An oxygen concentrator is an electrically operated device that draws in room air, separates the oxygen from the other gases in the air and delivers the oxygen at high concentrations to the patient.
Q: Can I smoke while taking oxygen?
A: No! Not only does smoking negate the positive effects oxygen might have on your condition, but it is also very dangerous to smoke while taking oxygen. Oxygen does not burn, but it does rapidly accelerate combustion. There have been cases where patients have burned their nasal cannula and face by smoking while taking oxygen.

Oxygen Safety
- Only use a properly grounded wall outlet for your concentrator.
- Do not use an outlet that can be turned off at the wall.
- Do not use extension cords.
- Never use more than 50 combined feet of oxygen tubing.
- Do not place the electrical cord or oxygen tubing under rugs or furniture.
- Use the least amount of tubing to meet your needs to avoid a fall or other hazard.
- Do not spray anything on the concentrator to clean it. Wipe the outside of the concentrator with a damp cloth after you have unplugged it to clean it.
- Call your local utility companies and emergency medical services to alert them that you are using oxygen in the home.
- Do not adjust the flow rate of your oxygen. If your doctor changes your prescription, contact Ed Medical, Inc. promptly.
- Anytime you question the effectiveness of your concentrator, call Ed Medical inc. for a service call.
- Always keep a "No Smoking" sign at the entrance to your home and enforce the no smoking rule.
- Keep oxygen tanks stored at room temperature, and never in closets. Do not leave oxygen tanks in doorways or in other high traffic areas of your home.
- Do not leave electrical cords in doorways or in other high traffic areas of your home.
- Do not leave electrical cords or oxygen tubing near heaters or other appliances that produce high heat.
If you're having problems with your concentrator or back up system, call Ed Medical. at (615) 822-8888 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. If you feel your health is poor, contact your doctor or emergency service.
Traveling with Oxygen Cylinders
- Place the oxygen cylinder in a well-ventilated area (not in closets or behind curtains) and a minimum of 8 feet from heaters or heat producing appliances.
- The cylinder is to be upright in its stand when stationary and secure when in transit.
- Place a "No Smoking" sign near the tank; make sure our company name and telephone number is on the sign.
- Run oxygen tubing in the most direct path form the cylinder, avoiding doorways, walkways, heating ducts or heaters.
- Please turn the cylinder valve off when not in use.
- Avoid placing cylinder in direct sunlight or in the trunks of cars.
- Avoid knocking the cylinder over. It is safe to use oxygen cylinders for travel but safety precautions must be observed. A full oxygen cylinder has approximately 2,000 pounds of pressure per square inch. The stem and valve construction is very strong and accidental leakage of oxygen is rare; however, if this does occur, contact Ed Medical Inc. immediately for instructions.
- The cylinder's regulator is a delicate instrument and must be treated with care. Avoid bumping or dropping the regulator.

(AP) Hundreds rally to welcome Chavez home in Venezuela
By IAN JAMES
Associated Press
CARACAS, Venezuela
Hundreds of Venezuelans rallied on Saturday to welcome President Hugo Chavez home from Cuba, where he underwent cancer surgery to remove a tumor.
Chavez waved, blew kisses and raised a fist on a balcony of Miraflores Palace, then took the microphone and sang along with a Venezuelan folk song while a band played below.
Below him, a crowd of supporters dressed in red cheered and waved flags.
Some wore T-shirts with Chavez's face emblazoned on them. Others said they're praying for the president's health. Many of the president's supporters said they fully expect Chavez to overcome his illness and win re-election in October.
The Venezuelan leader arrived home on Friday night looking haggard but expressing optimism that he will survive after his latest surgery.
Chavez spent three weeks in Cuba, leaving many Venezuelans wondering about his long-term prospects and about how his health will evolve ahead of the country's Oct. 7 presidential election. Chavez has kept secret some details of his illness, such as the type of cancer, spurring speculation.
The president has said his Feb. 26 surgery in Cuba removed a tumor from the same location in the pelvic region where another tumor was removed in June.
After he was diagnosed with cancer, Chavez underwent an initial surgery in June that removed a tumor the size of a baseball.
He then had four rounds of chemotherapy and said tests showed no signs of any cancerous cells. But last month, he announced he was returning to Cuba for surgery to have a lesion removed.
Chavez has described the most recent tumor as measuring about 2 centimeters (0.8 inches). He has declined to identify the precise location where the tumors appeared.
He next plans to undergo radiation therapy, although it's unclear how soon that will begin.
The 57-year-old leader is seeking another six-year term in the October presidential vote. His rival, 39-year-old state governor Henrique Capriles, has criticized Chavez's secretive handling of his cancer, saying that if he were president, his health would "be a matter of public knowledge."
As Chavez returned on Friday night, he vowed to win re-election saying: "United, we will be invincible."

Phishers can steal your money and private information using two main methods:
- Claiming to send emails from legitimate websites but which actually contain web links that ask users to provide personal information, or
- Directing users to a fake website that at first glance may look like a legitimate website.
How to be Smarter Than a Phisher
Armed with a little key knowledge and applying some basic precautions, you can outwit the phishers. Moreover, good Internet Service Providers (ISPs) provide guidelines on how to combat phishing and other online scams.
Moreover, new ways are emerging that make life considerably harder for phishers. Yahoo for example, have recently started providing personalized sign-in seals for their email users who use the main Yahoo website to view emails.
A Yahoo personalized sign-in seal is simply a unique phrase or picture that a user can upload to their account. Then, whenever a user is about to log in, they can make a quick glance to check if their particular personalized sign-in seal if present on their log-in page. If the seal is not present, then most likely the log-in page currently being viewed is not the genuine log-in page but a page that is part of a phishing scam. Using a personalized sign-in seal is certainly a good idea.
However, consider the following points:
- Setting up a personalized sign-in seal is fine providing that your computer has not already been infected with a phishing scam.
- In time, even the phishing providers may learn how to include similar sign-in seal functionality to that provided by authentic websites. Therefore ideally, to ensure you can set up your personalized sign-in seal quickly, ask your Internet Service Provider / email account provider to set up a personalized sign-in seal for you as soon as possible.
- Make sure you're taking basic security precautions to protect your identity and your computer. For example, consider the following guidelines.
- Install and use strong antivirus software.
- Make sure that your antivirus software is always turned on.
- Ensure that your antivirus software automatically downloads and installs the latest updates to your computer regularly. Norton Internet Security 2008 is one good choice.
- Install and use antispyware software that is also always turned and likewise automatically downloads and installs the latest updates to your computer regularly. For example, check out UniBlu SpyEraser
- Run manual antivirus and antispyware checks at least weekly.
- Keep full backups of your entire PC.
- Make up-to-date backups, ideally on a daily basis, certainly at least weekly and more often if possible.
- Use a broadband modem or access point hardware box that also includes a built-in hardware firewall.
- Make sure you have a strong software firewall also correctly configured and turned on. Microsoft Windows XP and Vista come with their own built-in software firewall. Also, some excellent antivirus providers like Symantec's Norton Internet Security come with their own software firewall that you can choose to use instead if you prefer.
- If you use a personalized sign-in seal, don't share the information with anyone you do not trust.
- If you take basic precautions, you need never become a victim of phishing or other online scams (see below).

Address: 3013 Paseo Tranquillo
Status: On the market
Price: $1,689,000
There are certain architectural elements that we don't see very often in Santa Barbara. When my son James was about 8 years old, we took a weekend trip to San Francisco, just the two of us, and splurged on a room at a fancy hotel on Union Square. As we walked up to the entrance, James exclaimed, "Whoa! It has one of those rotating doorways. I thought those were only in the movies."
Visitors may come to Santa Barbara and marvel at our red-tile roofs, but to those of us who live here, revolving doors, basements, and even elevators are exotic details that we can go years without encountering. When I was introduced to the lovely home at 3013 Paseo Tranquillo last week, I was intrigued with some of its unusual amenities. The description stated that it has a whole-house water-filtration system, which filters every faucet's water. The home also has radiant floor heating throughout, so your toes stay warm as you walk from the bedroom to the kitchen for your midnight snack. The living room boasts a biofuel fireplace, one of the most efficient, smokeless, eco-friendly fireplace options available. These elements aroused my curiosity, but it was the tip-top detail that reeled me in: It has an honest-to-goodness cupola. A cupola? In Santa Barbara? I wanted to visit just to see that.
As it turns out, the entire house is well worth a visit. It's in a quiet corner of San Roque on a wonderful street. The front yard is beautifully landscaped with native trees and grasses, an inviting seating area, and a stone-lined walkway. As I approached the front door, there was the prominent, windowed cupola, smiling from above.

'So much I did not know about my hero, Lawrence Bragg! This film is original, fun and unexpected.' – Robyn Williams, ABC science broadcaster
'Ideally suited to whet the scientific appetites of teenagers' – Dr Michael Kindler, Principal, Stromlo High School, ACT
Driven to Diffraction tells the remarkable story of William Henry Bragg and his son William Lawrence Bragg. Part human interest story, part science lesson, part historical journey of discovery, this 55-minute documentary weaves a spell of enchantment around the tale of two shy men who join the ranks of the most important scientists of the twentieth century.
From origins in Adelaide, their international contributions have been legendary and across many areas, from early work on wireless telegraphy, radioactivity, and acoustic rangefinding of artillery on the battlefields of the Great War, to their celebrated development of X-ray crystallography, for which they won the Nobel Prize in 1915 – the only father-son team ever to have done so. Their work made possible an astonishing list of breakthroughs, including Watson and Crick's discovery of the structure of DNA, radio therapy for cancer, solid state electronics, modern pharmaceuticals, superconductivity and radio astronomy.
Please note: Driven to Diffraction is the first in a series of science biographies designed for general audiences and especially for teenage audiences. The second in the series is Microbes to Macrobes.
DVD extras include extended interviews with Dr Stephen Bragg, Patience Thomson, Dr Lucy Adrian, Professor Susan Greenfield, Professor Frank James and Dr John Jenkin.

Reflecting on all this today, it made me think of how we pray for our friends. Very often, i just say thank You & ask for God's blessings on them. There's nothing wrong with that. Often, we don't know what's really going on with our friends & that's fine too. God knows. But yesterday, i read something that was placed on my heart to share with you today.
In Colossians, Chapter 1, Paul sends a powerful prayer for his fellow Christians. Now, i don't know how many times i have read this passage. And i'm sure that i am not the only one who may read some scripture & then just go on. But today, i'm asking you today to read this prayer as i did yesterday & i have broken it down just that way.
"...Since the day we heard about you, we have not stopped praying for you & asking God to fill you with the knowledge of His will through all spiritual wisdom & understanding.
"And we pray this in order that you may have a life worthy of the Lord & may please Him in every way:
"bearing fruit in every good work,
"growing in the knowledge of God,
"being strengthened with all power according to His glorious might so that you may have great endurance & patience,
"and joyfully giving thanks to the Father, who has qualified you to share in the inheritance of the saints in the kingdom of light.
"For He has rescued us from the dominion of darkness & brought us into the kingdom of the Son He loves
"in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins."
Colossians 1:9-12 (NIV)
I hope that you felt the power of this prayer as i did.
Yes, we can always go to Jesus in our time of need & in our friends' time of need. We ARE connected to the One who has authority over ALL things....knows ALL things...loves us UNCONDITIONALLY. He wants to hear our hearts' desires, & bless us with His wisdom & strength to walk in His ways. And He wants that for your friends too! Just as you do. Think about someone whose eternal life you are concerned about. Then, using Paul's powerful example, daily pray & petition God to work in that person's life. There are several people that i have been concerned about their eternal life. So, i am vowing to do this - to intercede for some dear friends. And in faith, i KNOW that i'm going to watch & see how God changes their lives & experience the blessings of His good works.

Have never been happier or healthier. Words cannot express my gratitude. I know your evaluation form only has three rating levels, 1 to 3 (great). I had to rate my week with you a 4, however, for "magical"! I know that my journey through life will be dramatically different because of my time spent with you. I will always send my blessings and love to you!

Expected attendees include: realtors, developers and builders, title insurers, local housing officials, elected officials, grassroots activists, financial services industry, closing attorneys and many others that are connected and influential in their hometowns.
There is no cost to attend. However, space is limited so registration is required.

Thirteen Lander University students played the roles of state legislators when the South Carolina Student Legislature convened recently at the State House in Columbia. Students from all but one of the four-year colleges in the state participated in the event, which was held in the actual legislative chambers and focused on bills the students themselves drafted and brought to the floor for debate and a vote.
The Lander students are enrolled in the political science course S.C. Legislative Process, taught by assistant professor of political science Dr. Chad Kinsella. He said students were required to do their own research and draft the wording of each bill. Legislation was subjected to committee hearings to ensure they were in the proper format, including grammar and spelling; otherwise they were eliminated from consideration. Lander's delegation submitted nine bills.
Kinsella said the four-day session is a good experience that teaches students to research and write bills and to observe the necessary parliamentary procedure for floor debates.
Senior Kimberly Modica, of Waterloo, was elected Speaker of the House for the next student legislature in the fall of 2015. Kinsella said she lobbied fellow students and gained enough support to win the position unopposed. Modica is the first Lander student to have been elected speaker.
At the end of the session, several Lander students were nominated for awards, including Ettele Toole, of Evans, Ga., who was considered for best freshman senator.
The S.C. Student Legislature, which was founded and is run by students, is designed to provide insight into the functions of government and to provide a forum for students to take part in debate on public policy issues. According to the organization's promotional material, the experience is meant to help participants achieve excellence in business and government.

Hello everyone!
I AM SO RIDICULOUSLY SORE RIGHT NOW. I have been trying to complete the workouts Blogilates releases and today I completed the "Love Handle Hysteria" workout and let me tell you all how much I hate weights. Anyways, I am so glad that I finally have a day off where I can relax and FINISH A POST. Well, if you haven't read the title already…OUR ENGAGEMENT PHOTOS HAVE OFFICIALLY ARRIVED! We got the full amount a couple days ago and I have been sharing them with everyone! They were everything I hoped for and more…plus, it's mine and Anthony's first photo shoot together.
So, I wanted to use this post to kind of give you all a detailed look at our engagement photo experience and give a very special thanks to those involved. So, the day started off with me working out so that I can fit into the dress above. I then took a trip around the corner to get my hair done by Jennifer Cheek! She did a wonderful job curling my hair because typically…my hair doesn't hold curls. Afterwards, I came home and relaxed and looked through some of the items I got from the Bridal Showcase.
Once Anthony came over and we finally got situated and everything together for the photo shoot, we drove down to Downtown Fredericksburg…specifically, Horseshoes & Hand Grenades Vintage Boutique. Now, I had called the store days in advance to ask permission for us to have part of our photo shoot in their store. They were very happy to say yes and I think some of the best pictures were while we were shooting there. So, we go in to take a look around and Anthony had some vintage video games and consoles to sell. I fell in love with every piece of vintage clothing and shoes they offered in my size and it took a lot to make sure I didn't buy them too. After a little while, Anthony and I decide to take a walk before the Matt and Kathy from MathyShootsPeople come. When we came back, we began the photo shoot!
We had a great time shooting in the store. I think some of our best pictures were taken here! We had some ultimately geeky moments and lots and lots of laughter. Matt and Kathy made us feel so comfortable since this was mine and Anthony's very first photo shoot together. Honestly, I think Matt and Kathy are as close to a future us personality wise than most people we know. They were awesome to work with and definitely caught some truly awesome moments!
After our shoot in the store, we stepped out to capture the unique green and purple store front. Wanna know something funny? We actually asked the store owner to photo bomb! AND HE DID. It was great. I am so thankful to Horseshoes and Hand Grenades for giving us free range in their store and making sure we were comfortable and free of interruptions! After our store shoot, we went for a walk around downtown looking for really vintage and unique backdrops for some photos and we came across a few wooden doors and graffitied walls. We then found an old barn looking building where we took individual shots and some pretty shots laying down.
We then proceeded to a local river to take a few more shots laying down and then we took some awesome street shots and a silhouette shot that I completely adore (and will definitely use for our wedding). After we finished our last shots, we headed up back to the original street we met up on and…Anthony made an Instagram video. Haha! I'm serious, but we also talked about how awesome social networking was and how thankful we were for their overall awesomeness and when the photos would be done and so on. I think this was one of the best experiences of my life and I will never forget it…especially with the photos! I actually compiled a slideshow for the blog!!
Well, there's our engagement photos! I hope you all enjoyed them and I promise a beauty post is coming up!! I would like to give a special thanks to Matt and Kathy from MathyShootsPeople.Com! As well as to the awesome owners and staff at Horseshoes & Hand Grenades! You all made this day extra special! Anyways, it's about to be 10 o'clock and I have to wake up at 5am!! So bed time for me!! I hope you all have a wonderful week and remember to stay safe! If you're on Instagram, I'm doing the 30 Days of Thanksgiving Challenge! What are you thankful for? Follow me @TaylorRae319!
Thanks for Reading~! ❤
With Love,
Taylor Rae

Gonzaga College High (D.C.) sophomore attackman Luke McCaleb has made a commitment to the admissions process at Brown University.
Luke McCaleb log:
High School: Gonzaga College High School
Graduation Year: 2016
Position: Attack
College Choice: Brown University (admissions process)
Club Affiliation: Greene Turtle Fells Point (Coach Whitty)
Major lacrosse honors, All-Star Team, Camps, Showcases: Washington-Virginia Elite Lacrosse (WAVELAX) Top 22 All-Star Team, which played the Maryland Free-State team; Jake Reed's Nike Blue Chip rising freshman and rising sophomore camps; played with Greene Turtle team that won King of the Hill, Crabfeast, and Legacy Invitational tournaments, and last weekend went undefeated at Terps Classic tournament.
Academic Honors, Service: First Honors every quarter at Gonzaga; Regularly participate in food and clothing drives and support Special Olympics events.
What will you major in/study: "I am undecided at this point, though I tend to enjoy liberal arts courses (e.g., history), a little more than hard sciences and math."
Why did you choose the school? "For three reasons. First, it is a top academic school, and I really like the academic freedom it offers to explore a wide variety of courses. Second, I enjoyed my time with Coach (Lars) Tiffany and have total confidence that he (and Coaches Turner and Boyle) will put a very competitive team on the field every year that competes for an Ivy title and an NCAA berth. Third, I really enjoyed the players I spent time with when I visited, which confirmed for me that Brown attracts well-rounded, and grounded, students."
What is your team's outlook for next season? "Under Coach O'Neill, Gonzaga has had a great run with four straight WCAC championships and top 5 national rankings. While we graduated a lot of terrific players last year, we have a lot of younger guys who are very hungry. I am optimistic that we will have a very successful 2014 campaign."
Other comments: "I have been blessed to have received great coaching since I was in third grade in the Bethesda and Club Blue programs, including from Coaches Cave, Dubick, Alt, Don Giblin, and Dugan. I have also been lucky to be a part of the Greene Turtle program, where I have received great coaching by Andy Hilgartner, Trey Whitty, and Billy Glading (among others). My school teams have also allowed me to learn the game from great coaches; in particular, Kevin Giblin (at Mater Dei) and Casey O'Neill (at Gonzaga). I also need to thank Austin and JR Bordley, who have really helped me develop my game. Special thanks to Coaches O'Neill, Hilgartner, Whitty and Giblin, who helped me through the process, and to my two sisters and parents, who have enabled my passion for lacrosse. Finally, lacrosse is a team game, and I have to thank my teammates who make me look good, even when I throw a bad pass, including the Gonzaga crew and all of my boys on The Turtle."
Other schools considered? "I principally considered Navy, Dartmouth, and Cornell and think the world of each of them and their staffs. They are each great."

I'm probably going a little off-topic with this week's blog installment. The news is such: Last Tuesday a friend of mine finally came to the end of her long struggle with a painful and debilitating disease and passed away at 4:14a.m. It's funny – you know it's coming, but when it finally occurs it seems like a strange and faraway dream. Like it didn't happen. However, I'm certainly aware it did happen, and I'm just doing some weird and awkward dance trying to come to terms with it.
Damn, she was a fighter. Years ago, in the beginning, you couldn't really tell anything was wrong– I certainly couldn't. No, she was just feisty and full of energy, ready with a snappy wisecrack or an acute observation about the ironies of life. Then things started going downhill, and she eventually was confined to a wheelchair, and then to a bed.
But you know — she would probably smack me right now if she was here and read this and thought I was getting even one millimeter weepy or sad. No, she was really about being positive – all the time, which is really amazing when you think about it. And I guess that's what's been on my mind, what I've been reflecting about.
I don't know about you, but it is so easy for me to get caught up in the minutiae of life, and to miss out on the big picture. I always keep forgetting one simple but cosmic truth: all we have is now. The past is gone, the future doesn't exist yet… All that is important is this very moment, this singular exquisite point in time. Yet it is so easy to agonize about things in the past, or worry about events in the future. And that truly is living in an illusion. The only reality is now.
So I'm sad, but I know what she would say: Carpe Diem. Seize the day. Grab this 24 hours and squeeze every drop out of it you can; make time to laugh, love and appreciate the world around you. And keep following your passion.
As I write this, I have a big illusion show that has to be ready in two weeks, and it seems like there are 500 items on the job list that still need to be completed. And yesterday I somehow mysteriously tweaked my back, so every movement now is like a little symphony of agony. And I have a backlog of office work that is screaming at me to be completed. So yes, it is definitely tough sometimes to hear the message of Carpe Diem, and to keep my eyes open to the pulse of life around me. But I'll have to keep reminding myself of the insurmountable odds my friend faced, and how she kept going. "Damn the torpedoes," she would have said. "Damn the torpedoes."
I just want to be clear: I'm writing this not to mourn, but to say thanks to a friend for reminding me of what's really important. Amazing, really; even after she's left this earth, she's still giving me gifts and insight.
Thanks, Lydia.

A pair of incidents are causing motorists delays in Rockland County late Tuesday afternoon.
A crash is blocking the right lane on the southbound New York State Thruway at Exit 14A (Garden State Parkway connector), with stop-and-go traffic to the Spring Valley tolls.
A stretch of Route 9W is close following a downed pole and wires between Lake Road/Rockland Lake Road and Route 80/Lake Road East that was caused by a crash.

"She Shoots! She Scores! "
TSX Down For The Day Up For The Week
The Toronto stock market gave up a modest gain to close little changed Friday while investors looked to the release of a disappointing read on U.S. home sales last month.The S&P/TSX composite index slipped 4.65 points to 14,205.72 at the end of a positive week for the Toronto market. The Canadian dollar continued to pile up losses for a third day, down 0.28 of a cent to 89.82 cents US as Statistics Canada said that December retail sales tumbled 1.8% from November. Economists had expected a drop of just 0.4%. The agency also reported that the Canadian consumer price index was up 1.5% in January compared with a year earlier. U.S. indexes were lacklustre as the National Association of Realtors said existing house sales dropped 5.1% in January following a 0.8% rise in December.
The Dow Jones industrials fell 29.93 points to 16,103.3, while the Nasdaq lost 4.13 points to 4,263.41 and the S&P 500 index dropped 3.53 points to 1,836.25. Techs were the biggest TSX drag as BlackBerry shed 24 cents or 2.3% to $10.17. The TSX ended the week with a solid gain of 1.07%, reflecting general satisfaction with fourth-quarter earnings reports and positive U.S. manufacturing data on Thursday. The Dow faltered somewhat this week, down 0.3% but strong earnings reports have left the index up 2.57% for the month while the TSX has jumped 3.73% so far in February.
Canadians Don't Understand CPP, OAS
Canadians appear optimistic about their retirement lifestyle, but few have a firm handle on what their cost of living will be and what their pensions will offer, shows a February 2014 survey by Investors Group. More than two-thirds (69%) of people near retirement are unaware of what the maximum monthly payout is for Canada Pension Plan ($1,038 at age 65) and Old Age Security ($551), yet more than 80% of them say they plan to use these programs as a source of retirement income, and more than 33% anticipate this will be their primary source. Employer pension will be a source of income for 60% of those surveyed, and 37% say it will be their primary income source. However, of those who say they have workplace pensions and plan to rely on it as their primary source of income, 55% didn't know the monthly benefit they could expect. Nearly three-quarters (72%) of pre-retirement individuals are confident they'll be able to maintain their current lifestyle in retirement. This number jumps to 91% among those working with a financial advisor. In addition, 66% of Canadians are less confident in governments' ability to continue to provide an acceptable level of pension and retirement benefits.

A social enterprise working in and for your community
Our Vision
Oxford Wood Recycling was formed in June 2005 by Richard Snow, Nick Dowling and Helen Porter. They came together on a post graduate Forestry degree at Oxford University. Realising there was a wasteful attitude towards wood products in the UK, they collectively wanted to help address the issue.
Building on Richard's social enterprise business management experience there was also an opportunity to enable people facing severe disadvantages to get back into mainstream employment. Using these two issues as pillars of an organisation Oxford Wood Recycling was created.
Oxford Wood Recycling was based for the first 9 years in Milton Park, Didcot. It out grew that space and then relocated to Abingdon, just off the Drayton Road in 2015.
Now as an award winning Social Enterprise, the organisation believes that working with wood and timber offers many opportunities to gain skills and expertise – whether in making wood products, or in processing wood and timber – and believes it's generally very therapeutic!
With more exacting regulatory requirements of the construction industry on waste management and the in-vogue home furnishing fashions of modern rustic and the Scandinavian look the market has caught up with the original idea.
Our Impact
From humble beginnings, the organisation now operates both a private and commercial waste wood collection service. The majority of wood is sent to power stations and the rest of sufficient quality is reused. Volunteers help to clean up the recovered wood and return it for public use from its 5,000 sqft warehouse in Abingdon.
As well as the collection, warehousing and delivery teams, the organisation also offers beneficiary placements in business administration, sales and marketing roles. OWR now partners with other social enterprises, organisations and enabling charities in Oxfordshire who share its aims.
All of Oxford Wood Recycling's surpluses are re-invested back into the organisation. The organisation has grown significantly since 2005 and has employed over 55 people and worked with almost 200 volunteers.
"Having been introduced to OWR through Oxfordshire Mental Health Services, OWR gave me a supportive, structured and positive work environment. OWR brought out the best in me by using and nurturing my skills. OWR enabled me to enter back into full time employment full of confidence again" – Paul from Oxfordshire 2016
The collections team make over 150 collections per month and work with some of the biggest construction companies in the UK and smaller infrequent clients. These teams are the organisation's best marketing and loyalty ambassadors.
In our retail store the friendly and knowledgeable staff help and advise our customers to make the best choice of recycled timber for their projects. The loyal growing team of volunteers maintain the vital free flow of stock around the warehouse.
Our Future
We are proud to be part of an exciting and growing social enterprise network in Oxfordshire. The trustees, staff and volunteers are committed to growing a successful organisation that is socially inclusive and focused on supporting those in need. The wood recycling business needs to remain economically sustainable and further the reduction, reuse and recycling of wood waste across the region.
Since moving from Milton Park to Abingdon, OWR has made additions to the organisation with the incorporation of a furniture showroom and joinery shop. Manufacturing, and adding value to reclaimed wood by re-sizing and finishing creates many more opportunities to explore partnerships with other social enterprises and charities like RESTORE to support people in need through training, employment and work experience.
The showroom creates a vision of how reclaimed wood can enhance modern life styles, and encourages people to 'get excited and make things'
"The future is unwritten"… Joe Strummer
At OWR we too believe that the future is indeed there to be written and that anything is possible with determination and people-power. The future could be a lot of fun. Let's build it out of wood!

King's Head, Oxfordshire
"A Cotswold inn with character, good food and simple, yet artfully decorated rooms."
Review by Fiona Duncan, published 26th February 2010.
It's easy to see what tempted Nicola and Archie Orr-Ewing (known to all as Nic and Arch) away from London and into the wilds of the Labrador-and-Range Rover-infested Cotswolds. Casting around for a dream pub to run, they found the King's Head, set on an unspoilt village green with swings for the children, a stream for the ducks and a comic old pub sign swaying in the breeze. "It was the first place we saw, all pink and frilly inside. We just knew we could make something of it."
They most certainly have. Nicola's bedrooms – six above the low-slung pub and six across a pretty courtyard – are just the sort I love: simple and unpretentious, yet artfully decorated with junk-shop finds, painted furniture, the odd family heirloom, books and pictures, pretty fabrics, rugs, Lloyd Loom chairs and comforting throws on excellent, white-linen beds. Bathrooms are necessarily small, but attractive.
We had a few minor gripes. The televisions in the pub rooms could do with upgrading, the tea trays are meagre, and where, oh where is a radio? Even a request to borrow one by my friend Lui, frantic to listen to The Archers, could not be met. At least keep a couple of spares: there must be more Radio 4 freaks like us out there, especially in these parts.
The King's Head wasn't for sale when the Orr-Ewings first saw it, but the owners sold it anyway. "Over to you now," they said, as they left the bar for the last time. "Don't worry," said the old boy, a village inhabitant and King's Head regular for 40 years, who was propping up the bar, "I'll still be here."
As in so many of these former local watering holes, the clientele of the King's Head is now here principally for the restaurant-quality food from chef Charlie Loader. Though most of them look as if they've come straight from the pages of Debrett's, Archie has done what he can to keep the pub's integrity alive, running a cricket team whose members must either drink or work in the pub. There's also darts and a regular quiz night.
So many old inns have the character ripped out of them when they are revamped, but not this one. The warren of rooms circling the central bar are all cosy, with home-grown hyacinths scenting the air. (Why don't more hoteliers realise that simple, fresh flowers are magic ingredients?) Every inch of space is given over to dining because, at weekends especially, as many tables as possible are required.
That leaves a problem for the increasing numbers of people who are turning to inexpensive places like the King's Head as alternatives to country house hotels: where to flop comfortably near a fire with a drink and a newspaper? Nicola took the point and tells me that a corner room will soon become a "sitting room where you can eat". I look forward to seeing it – and the odd radio: then the King's Head will be perfect.
The Green, Bledington (01608 658365; kingsheadinn.net). Doubles from £80 per night, including breakfast. Access possible for guests with disabilities
The Hotel Guru verdict
Pub rooms have more character; all are charmingly decorated
A friendly welcome from Arch and Nic; local, happy staff
Revamped pubs often lack character; this one has plenty, if too many tables
|Food and drink
First-class pub food; Archie's uncle's locally reared beef a speciality
|Value for money
Quibbles aside, unimpeachable

Papa penguin and I got married New Years Eve 2010 and it was one of the best days of my life! It's an amazing feeling to marry the one you love and have all your friends and family together in the same room together all celebrating at once.
We got married at Winters Barns in Canterbury and what an amazing venue it was. Yes a December wedding meant it was a bit chilly but we both prefer to be a bit chilly than sweaty hot so it was perfect for us....lots of champagne helped!
3 weeks after our wedding Debenhams delivered all our gifts that our wonderful friends and family hd purchased. Sadly we were due to put our flat on the market so we had a quick look through took a few bits out and the rest went into storage. 12 months later we finally moved but as we had plans to do up the kitchen a lot of the wedding boxes went straight into the garage....until yesterday....I got to unpack all of them (a further 9 months later).
Oh it was like Christmas Day! Every thing had labels on as to who got us what and it was so nice to be reminded of how giving all our friends were. There is just one box left that includes a new king size duvet....we've yet to buy a king sized bed....so next year once baby is no longer with us it will be another nice treat to open the box.
Does feel like its all over now....no more wedding bits and pieces to deal with....for now I will just have to keep looking through my photo albums or my hubby to remind myself what an amazing day it was.

Are you doing enough to protect your most valuable assets?
Asset protection is a term many people do not understand – and that means they often neglect to put asset protection strategies in place.
But failing to have a well thought-out asset protection strategy could mean that your most vital assets – perhaps the foundations of your personal wealth and business value – are at risk in the event creditors, competitors or authorities from local or international jurisdictions move to file a claim against you.
In other words, you need to act before that happens – before it's too late.
Too often, individuals and corporations start thinking about asset protection when it is too late
Too often, private individuals and corporate entities start thinking about asset protection when it is too late. People tend to underestimate the importance of creating a solid strategy for protecting their properties and assets that will ensure they are kept in a safe and highly confidential environment. By the time creditors, competitors, and local or international authorities investigate an entity upon discovering sensible information about its estate, it is too late to implement an effective strategy.It is essential to investigate fully customized and innovative asset protection schemes and implement one before you enter into possession of an asset. A number of legal routes are available that will enable you to minimize taxes and protect your privacy, thus maximizing your profits and asset value, as well as ensuring safe and cost-effective succession.
There are many theories about asset protection, of which not all have yet been agreed upon or precisely defined by the industry professionals. The only point on which everyone agrees is that there is no single scheme that is appropriate for every situation.We are qualified and experienced in creating fully customized asset protection Consulting schemes for international private and corporate clients. We thoroughly analyze each situation, discuss our client's goals and objectives, and find 100% personalized and innovative solutions. CS&P asset protection services offer a comprehensive, customized and innovative set of strategies for protecting your privacy, minimizing tax liability and, most important, reducing the risk of losing the value of your most valuable assets. With our deep understanding of local and international laws regarding assets, we are able to provide both the strategy and its execution – services we provide for our corporate and personal clients around the world. Our approach is custom-designed for specific needs and situations; there are no "off-the-shelf" solutions casually snapped into place.
Plan your asset protection strategy todayCS&P asset protection services include:
• Strategies planning
• Solutions in offshore jurisdictions
• Trusts
• Private foundations
It is critical to have a comprehensive asset protection plan in place in advance of acquiring a major asset for business or personal use. Failure to do so not only jeopardizes the long-term value of that asset but also risks your incurring higher tax liability than would otherwise be required.

Love in Trouble (Suspicious Partner) Recaps (Episodes 17 & 18)
Episodes 17 and 18 of Love in Trouble show us Ji Wook stepping up his game and killing the fangirls along the way. I'll recap them for you to see how the story keeps going.
Previously on Love in Trouble: 01 & 02 - 03 & 04 - 05 & 06 - 07 & 08 - 09 & 10 - 11 & 12 - 13 & 14 - 15 & 16
Love in Trouble
Episodes 17 & 18
The episode starts with Ji Wook explaining his feelings as he rushes to Bong Hee's side, realising these feelings had started before, he doesn't know when exactly, he just knows he tried to stop them because he was scared. However, he finally realises and accepts his feelings, so he goes forward and kisses Bong Hee.
It is a good and dreamy kiss, and although Bong See gets caught up, she pulls back and walks away with an expression that shows she's holding it all in, not knowing what else to do (same, sister, same). Ji Wook watches her leave and does not stop her, going to his room with a troubled expression.
Meanwhile, Chan Ho isn't dead! But he might be, Hyun Soo is in the car, with a knife, threatening him to drive somewhere. Chan Ho uses a chance to hit the break suddenly and escape, but Hyun Soo goes after him. They fight each other, the forensic guy crying out he cannot do it anymore, but Hyun Soo only laughs. Chan Ho sees a way out by jumping into the river. Hyun Soo talks to himself, saying 4 have disappeared, 3 more to go.
I still don't get that.
Back to the leads, Bong Hee gets out just in time to find Ji Wook there. She declares they should talk and he agrees, but he doesn't get to properly confess his feelings when she tells him to stop. She doesn't want to change the situation, she's comfortable and above all, she doesn't want to be shaken up. Ji Wook realises he is too late, he regrets ever pushing her away. They way he stares at her, so longingly, is killing me. Please stop.
Then we see Chan Ho getting out of the river. He survived the jump! Have no idea why I am so soft hearted when it comes to him.
Somewhere else, Representative Byun is helping an old man with his recollection cart before getting in his car and call for a designated driver, but as he's about to call, he sees the cart going back, in the direction of an oncoming woman. The man drives quickly, colliding against the cart to stop it, saving the woman. But the man had been drinking before and for that, he gets in trouble.
The next morning while Bong Hee tries hard not to think of the kiss, Ji Wook goes to run, and the awkwardness is so thick when they run into each other, but he does not say anything until later. When he comes down after a shower and change of clothes, it's his turn to talk. He admits to know he's late and he respects her decision, but he asks her to respect his feelings and allow him to like her (cue to fangirl scream). If, one day, she changes her mind, then please like him. He leaves her breathless, like literally, but he walks away like a cool man, although he's in a similar state.
The morning meeting doesn't go well, Ji Wook and Bong Hee don't even notice the people around them or what they have to report. Representative Byun exposes his situation, saying how wronged he feels and that he'll ask for a trial. Nobody supports him, instead attack him for drinking and driving.
Ji Wook tells Chief Bang how Chan Ho suspiciously cancelled the meeting, so he asks to look into that. Then he spots Bong Hee and his thoughts take another course. His jealousy shows when Eun Hyuk joins her. The young lawyer tries to cheer her up and listens to her rant, even encourages her to be strong and go with Ji Wook when he comes to invite her to go see Chan Ho.
In the car it's awkward, she gets angry for not being able to control her thoughts and takes it out on Ji Wook, angrier because he keeps being charming and cute (#StopNohJiWook2017). Yes, yell at him for that. How dare he? But then Ji Wook reminds her he is her boss and he'll act like that.
So they check at police station, but Chan Ho has taken sudden holidays, but he isn't at home either. They go there but can't get in. Ji Wook is trying to persuade Bong Hee to sneak in when the landlord confuses them for a newlywed couple and invites them to see the room. Following the excuse, they ask to take a look around alone finding a picture of Chan Ho and some other two men.
Ji Wook obviously shares the picture with Chief Bang, still trying to keep it from Bong Hee, not wanting to hurt her until there's anything definitive.
District Attorney Jang has called Prosecutor Na and Yoo Jung, asking them to take the case of his murdered son. He admits to plant one of the murder weapons, but he thinks the other is also fake and Ji Wook planted it, because Bong Hee being the murder is the only logical option. Prosecutor Na is obviously on board.
Bong Hee comes to offer her help to Representative Byun with the case, so he is all charming and stops calling her Miss No Evidence as she prepares for the case. Bong Hee is pampered by her colleagues and Ji Wook gets jealous, so he also makes sure to go to her, trying to help her. I envy her so much.
Bong Hee goes to see her mum to rant, Ji Wook's mother eavesdropping like always. It's only bickering there.
Meanwhile, Chief Bang is still investigating Hyun Soo when said young man spots him and escapes before he's seen. He goes to the bar and realises the lawyer is still keeping an eye on him.
Lawyer Noh is having a nightmare about Hyun Soo in which he stabs someone, he doesn't know when, but he wakes up anxious and apprehensive, clinging to Bong Hee, glad she's all right. Taking pity on how shaken he is, she stays five more minutes with him. Ji Wook gets as close as her as he can, being able to fall asleep. She watches over him, stating she won't fall for him, no matter how beautifully he looks.
Such a hard task. I totally fell.
The trial for Representative Byun comes and Bong Hee tries her best, but he still is sentenced to pay the fine. She runs before Representative Byun gets her hands on him. After the trial, Bong Hee walks with Eun Hyuk and Ji Wook, passing by a restaurant where Prosecutor Na and Yoo Jung are having dinner. Upon seeing them, Yoo Jung can't stop herself and goes to confront them, but her battle is a lost cause and she only humiliates herself. Eun Hyuk and Ji Wook try to reassure Bong Hee but I don't think it was necessary.
When Yoo Jung leaves the restaurant, drunk, at the other side, Eun Hyuk walks along, watching over her.
Chan Ho's car is found and Hyun Soo planted the knife in the car to incriminate him, so the news report the young forensic as the real murder of the chef. The lawyers watch the news of the TV, just like the others.
Hyun Soo asks Bong Hee to meet, where he confesses to her he lied about his alibi because he didn't remember it exactly, but he wanted her to believe him. She's a bit suspicious now. Then they are walking away when Bong Hee spots the man that hung her banner, Hyun Soo hides as he helped the man back then, saving the number of Bong Hee saying he had something to report. The young man tests the old man to see if he remembers him, which isn't the case.
Darn it!
They are at that when Ji Wook calls her, telling her to bring Hyun Soo along to have dinner together. In the house, Ji Wook tries to taunt the murderer, but he doesn't react. Bong Hee talks to Ji Wook, asking him to not keep information from her anymore and that now she has her reservations regarding Hyun Soo. Eun Hyuk eavesdrops their conversation, wondering if there's something he can do.
An unexpected visit shows up, however: Yoo Jung. She joins to have dinner and while they are at that, she announces she'll re-investigate Hee Joon's murder, clearly hinting that this time she'll find evidence to convict Bong Hee.
I really want Hyun Soo to get caught, but then I realise it's. not even halfway in the K-drama and I get frustrated. But then I forget it all because Ji Wook is way too charming. It gives me heart palpitations, am I the only one?
I'll be back with a new recap soon.
Until then!

Deadlift 225/155#
Hand Stand Push Ups
Skill: 30 GHD sit ups
Mobility: pick 3-athletes choice
Sadly, today is the last day Martin will coach before he moves to Boston. Feel free to comment below with any goodbyes, well wishes, or funny Martin stories.
We have been really fortunate to have Martin as a part of CFR over the last 2.5 years. He has brought passion for CFR every day. He trains hard and with integrity. He is knowledgable and always ready to help. His attitude, friendship and work ethic will surely be missed. I certainly hope that he visits as often as possible. The pleasure has most definitely been ours. Best of luck to you Martin. You will be greatly missed.
Martin, you have been an amazing asset to the CFR staff as well as a great athlete at CFR. I am so thankful that your Father in Law bought you that gift certificate 2-1/2 years ago. When I was speaking with him about the purchase, I never imagined it would result in finding such a talented athlete and coach. Despite having coached longer, I feel like I'm always learning something new when I'm around you – whether it's the REAL meaning of Hotdogs and Cupcakes 🙂 or getting the kip for my handstand push ups just right! I will definitely miss watching you WOD – I'm constantly inspired by your athleticism (unless there's sit ups in the WOD). Ha. Kidding. I know ya'll will have a great time in Boston! You will be missed and you will always be part of the CFR family. You better come back and visit! -Alima

Marketing is the process of selling timber to obtain its true fair market value.
Here are the key points that a woodland owner should consider when marketing timber.
Achieving a reasonable financial return on a timber investment depends on many factors.
None is more critical, however, than proper marketing.
Even if financial gain isn't the primary goal, proper marketing can reduce the cost of achieving other management objectives, such as creating wildlife habitat.
You may have a wide variety of objectives for your woodlands.
Harvesting is compatible with most nonfinancial objectives.
Insisting that the logger follow best management practices (BMP's) will ensure the maintenance of a healthy natural environment.
Logging activities may temporarily reduce aesthetic quality, but this depends on the proportion of the trees removed and the extent to which the tops are removed for firewood or cut up for faster decomposition.
Eventually, stumps and openings will be the only evidence of logging activity.
Timber Harvesting and Forest Management
The specific trees selected for harvest determine the following:
• willingness of potential buyers to make an offer to buy your timber,
• amount they are willing to pay,
• trees left to produce your next crop,
• openings for regeneration, wildlife habitat, and
• aesthetic appearance you desire.
The science of forest management is based on the principle that whatever vegetation currently occupies an area of land grows to fully occupy the available growing space. Owners find that cutting trees by conducting a commercial harvest or timber stand improvement (TSI) controls the composition of this vegetation.

The most recent data on fatal overdoses in Maryland, released at the end of January, offer at least one positive sign: the total number of heroin-related and prescription opioid-related deaths shows a slight drop. Through the third quarter of 2017, the number of heroin-related deaths fell by 56 and the number of prescription opioid-related deaths fell by 11, compared to the same period in 2016.
Among the factors contributing to positive movement is the work of hospitals to implement emergency department prescribing guidelines, and the dispensation of the life-saving opioid reversal drug Naloxone.
Still, there is much work to be done. Despite the drop in heroin and prescription opioid deaths, the total death count rose, to 1,705 for the first nine months of 2017. The Maryland Department of Health pointed to fentanyl, a powerful synthetic opioid, as the culprit.
One of the ways hospitals as a field are addressing this critical state issue is by sharing with legislators our Roadmap to an Essential, Comprehensive System of Behavioral Health Care for Maryland. This plan was produced by MHA's Behavioral Health Task Force after the more than 20 hospital CEOs and other leaders who volunteered to be on this ongoing task force spent more than two years examining the state's behavioral health crisis and response. It offers five comprehensive recommendations to help the estimated one in five Marylanders who face mental health or substance use disorders:
While no omnibus behavioral health legislation has materialized this session, some of these recommendations may be included in individual bills. Keep an eye on the "At Work in Annapolis" weekly feature in MHA's Friday Update to get the latest on behavioral health legislation and other health-related bills.

A farmer goes to confession for the first time in twenty years and tells the priest he's been having sexual intercourse with a pig ever since his wife died. The priest asks him if he intends to continue doing it and whether the pig is a male or female. "No! I'm not doing it anymore!" says the farmer. "And the pig is a female, of course. What the hell do you think I am -- a goddam queer?-0+
One day in the great forest a magical frog was walking down to a water hole. This forest was so big that the frog had never seen another animal in all his life.
By chance today a bear was chasing after a rabbit to have for dinner. The frog called for the two to stop. The frog said "Because you are the only two animals I have seen, I will grant you both three wishes... Bear, you go first."
The bear thought for a minute, and being the male he was, said "I wish for all the bears in this forest, besides me, to be female." For his wish, the rabbit asked for a crash helmet, and immediately put it on.
The bear was amazed at the stupidity of the rabbit, wasting his wish like that. It was the bear's second turn for a wish. "Well, I wish that all the bears in the next forest were female as well." Rabbit asked for a motorcycle and immediately hopped on it and gunned the engine. The bear was shocked that the rabbit was asking for these stupid things, after all, he could have asked for money and bought the motorcycle.
For the last wish the bear thought for awhile and then said, "I wish that all the bears in the world, besides me, were female."
The rabbit grinned, gunned the engine, and said, "I wish that the bear was gay..."
What did one Lesbian Frog say to the other? Gee, we really do taste like chicken.-0+
A guy walks into a bar... once inside, he realizes it's a gay bar, but he decides, "What the heck, I really want a drink." So he sits down at the bar, and the gay bartender says to him, "What's the name of your penis?" The guy says, "Look, I'm not into any of that. All I want is a drink." The gay bartender says, "I'm sorry, but I can't serve you until you tell me the name of your penis." So the guy looks at the man sitting to his left who is sipping on a beer and asks, "Hey bud, what's the name of your penis?" The man to left, with a smile, looks back and says, "TIMEX." The guy asks, "Why Timex?" The fella proudly replies, "Cause it takes a lickin' and keeps on tickin'!" A little shaken, the guy turns to the fella on his right sipping on a fruity margarita, "So, what do you call your penis?" The man to his right turns to him and proudly exclaims, "FORD, because quality is Job 1", he then ads, "Have you driven a Ford lately?" Even more shaken, the guy has to think for a moment before he comes up with a name for his penis. He turns to the bartender and exclaims, "The name of my penis is SECRET. Now give me my beer." The bartender begins to pour the guy a beer, but with a puzzled look asks, "Why secret?" The guy says, "because it's strong enough for a man but made for a woman!"-0+
How can u spot a tough Lesbian Bar? Even the pool tables don't have balls.-0+
