baby and child friendly holidays - Disneyland Paris
Here's a parent's eye review of
Disneyland Paris from Clare, October 2010
Holiday Type: Adventures and Thrills
From: Clare
Was Disneyland Paris good for the kids?:Of course Disney is fantastic for children and I need say no more about the entertainment value, instead, I'll write this review in terms of how it was for our two children aged almost 3 and 6. I would say, the whole wonderful experience was added to by the Disney staff. We didn't have a single bad experience, all the staff we encountered were extremely friendly and helpful.
What was your accommodation at Disneyland Paris?Type: Self Catering
Name: Davy Crocket Ranch
How was the accommodation at Disneyland Paris for the children?:Accommodation suitability for children rating: 4 stars
We booked the Davy Crocket Ranch, and then after we'd booked read reviews about how bad it was. However, our experience was a good one. The 'bungalows' are more like mobile homes, but they do have some nice details including Mickey themed bed sheets. We booked a premium bungalow as we'd read they were the newest of the bungalows and nearest the village. The shop in the Davey Crocket village was expensive, but big bottles of water there were cheaper than small ones in the park and we had frozen lasagne meals which actually weren't too bad. The shop sold nappies and baby food, but I didn't see any baby milk. And we picked up a very lovely bottle of red for 7 euros.
The reason we chose the ranch over the hotel is so that our girls would have a seperate bedroom and we could relax of an evening while they slept. It also gave us a retreat from the park. Breakfast is included and was excellent - you go and collect your breakfast which consists of milk, juice, croissants, brioche rolls, a baguette, jam, nutella and tea/coffee or chocolate. There was enough for breakfast and to be able to take cheese baguettes to the park for lunch.
There is a swimming pool at the the Davey Crockett Ranch which has a slide, jacuzzi and small rapids. We had a fab time in there after a busy morning in the park. We did have it to ourselves most of the time as we were there off peak.
Note you do need a car if you stay at the Davey Crockett Ranch as there isn't a shuttle to Disney. Parking at the park is free.
Did you eat out with your children at Disneyland Paris and how was it?Eating out for children rating: 3 stars
All the food and drink you can buy at Disney feels the wrong side of reasonable - for example a 500ml bottle of water from one of the stands is 2.50 euros and a half litre lager in one of the restaurants is 4.40 euros, and a hot dog 6 euros. There really aren't many healthy options in the restaurants. We took fruit to the park with us to try and ease the guilt of feeding the children 3 days of fast food!
We ate at the Mexican Fuente del Oro restaurant in Frontierland, which was OK. We shared a mix of set meals, which are all served as fast food. Fajitas, salad and a chilli con carne. The food was OK, the children ate plenty, though the fajitas were a little too spicy. The salad bizarrely was served in a large fried taco.
One evening we ate in the Disney Village at Billy Bob's. The bar menu is limited in choice, but we had the chicken chips and ribs and chips. Both were good (compared to other options). Our children shared an adults meal, which on seeing the childrens's nuggets was definitely at good thing. The ribs were surpisingly spicy, too much for our 6 year old, but our 2 year old loved them.
On our last day we went to the Princess dinner at the Auberge de Cendrillon. It is an expensive meal, but the food is very good. The meal for children was a little grown up, but they did eat well and loved the sugar and chocolate fueled dessert. And best of all, the girls were greeted by Cinderella in the reception and spent time chatting to her and having photos taken, then Snow White, Sleeping Beauty and the two mice from Cinderella all visited our table to chat with the girls. They both had a fabulous time. My only gripe was that the princesses had to leave early to prepare for the parade, and I wish we had been told that when we booked the table. The time we did get with Princesses and mice was excellent though.
How were the things to do for the children at Disneyland Paris?Activities for children rating: 5 stars
There are clearly tonnes of things for the children to do at Disneyland. And our girls had a non stop fantastic few days. What I found brilliant is you can really mix the day up between the rides, shows, character meets and the parade. I would say you should watch some of the rides before going on them. A couple, my youngest was big enough to go on, but they were too high or fast for her.
We were very lucky that the sun was shining. I imagine you would need to be very well wrapped up if you had a chance of cold or wet weather.
Overall I felt at 6 and 3 our children were at a perfect age to enjoy their first Disney experience and there was certainly plenty to keep them both happy at all times. A fabulous time was had by all.
Anything else parents should know about Disneyland Paris?
We flew with Easyjet from Madrid to Paris and hired a car from Paris Airport. As with previous experiences with easyjet, we had absolutely no problems with the flight except for a short delay on the way back. The flight attendants were helpful and friendly and I think all of them spoke 3 languages. I am also still very happy that Easyjet let families with children under 5 get on the aeroplane before the main queue.

House Conservative Opportunity Society: SCOTUS Marriage Ruling Is About Tyranny, Not Equality
The Supreme Court created a new right in same-sex marriage and in the process denied the American people the ability of self-governance. The freedom of the People to govern themselves is a principle this country was founded upon; a principle eloquently stated in many of our founding documents like the Declaration of Independence. But now, freedom is no longer guaranteed and our system of government as intended by the Founding Fathers has been fundamentally damaged.

The Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act (MACRA), which is slated for final rule this fall, replaces former Sustainable Growth Rate (SGR) reimbursement provisions in favor of a new payment model centered on pay-for-performance and designed to promote better quality of care. Under the new framework physicians have two new reimbursement program paths.
The Merit-based Incentive Payment System (MIPS) combines three existing healthcare incentive programs – the Physician Quality Reporting System (PQRS), the Meaningful Use/EHR incentive program and the Value-based Payment Modifier (VBM) – into a new composite performance score. Based on how eligible professionals (EPs) fare, they will receive either a bonus, a penalty or no adjustment on Medicare payments.
Alternative Payment Models (AMP) will offer qualifying providers annual payment bonuses when physicians earn significant revenue or see sufficient patient percentages through qualifying Medicare or payer models, requiring the acceptance of some financial risk if spending surpasses targets. Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs), Patient Centered Medical Homes and bundled payment models are some APM examples.

The Health of Black America: What Seventh-day Adventists Can Do
David Williams' article,"Race Matters for Health … A Lot!" in the February issue of Adventist Review, highlights a number of issues that urgently require address. Here he offers concrete answers to the question, "So what can I do?"
Every year in The United States, more than 96,000 deaths occur in the Black population that would not occur if Blacks had the same death rates as Whites. The reasons range far beyond biology, to America's unique history, group socioeconomic status, and the way medical treatment in America tends to relate to people of color. But there are specific things that the Seventh-day Adventist church can do about this through its system of hospitals, its educational institutions, its local congregations and its individual members.
What SDA Hospitals can do:
- Give emphasis to prevention in the delivery of care.
- Develop incentives and interventions to reduce normally occurring implicit biases that lead to social inequalities in care
- Provide care that addresses the whole-person needs of the client, including supports to address barriers in the client's environment and links to the non-medical resources that may be mobilized to assist the client.
What the SDA Educational Institutions can do:
- Rethink and renew our commitment to Christian education that would ensure that each child has the opportunity for high-quality experiences from kindergarten through college.
- Provide incentives so that every school can become a center of wellness for its students, staff and the surrounding community.
- Invest in teacher preparation to ensure that all of our schools have high-quality teachers. (Teacher quality is one of the strongest predictors of student achievement, and student achievement is a predictor of health).
What SDA Churches can do:
- Develop programs that enhance church members' and the community's s knowledge of food, fitness and sleep and encourage healthy choices.
- Offer programs and outreach services to low income individuals to ensure that they have a marketable trade or skill to receive adequate income to support good health and refer people to resources that exist for help with the life challenges that they face
- Offer programs that help individuals manage stress and support their access to services that provide resources to reduce levels of stress.
What every Church member can do:
- Volunteer with church or community programs that provide advocacy and support services for the least of these.
- Spend more time with people in distress (Volunteer to work for a crisis hotline; Become a mentor for children who are at risk of academic failure)
- Become informed regarding the many social needs in your community and ask God's guidance in making the love of Jesus real to people in need.

Authority stays, rail funds go
Transportation | NH Senate kills $4M in federal funds to continue feasibility study.
By DAMIEN FISHER - Staff Writer
NASHUA – Local advocates of bringing commuter rail to Nashua had a mixed week, with a big victory in keeping the New Hampshire Rail Authority a going concern, but losing out on $4 million in funding to complete the rail feasibility study.
Nashua Rep. Michael O'Brien, a Democrat, said the move to keep the Rail Authority going, despite an effort to disband it, is good news for the city. The Rail Authority is a volunteer group that hasn't cost New Hampshire taxpayers any money, he said.
"We need that committee," O'Brien said.
The focus of the Rail Authority will shift, he said, opening it up to consider all forms of transportation that will add to future economic growth.
"Rails is going to be one of the things that we look at," he said.
The bill was retained, meaning the committee's decision is essentially one to expand the amount of time to study the measure. Supporters of the authority, including the Greater Nashua Chamber of Commerce, said the retain vote is "far from the worst outcome that could have been reached on this bill."
While O'Brien scored a win for rail, Sen. Bette Lasky, D-Nashua, suffered a defeat with the Senate's vote to kill $4 million in federal funding for the Rail Authority to study rail as an option for the state.
"I am disappointed that my Republican colleagues continue to put partisan politics before practical solutions to stimulate New Hampshire's economy, protect the environment and promote tourism," Lasky said in a statement.
The Rail Authority started the study of commuter rail, looking at bringing trains to Nashua and Manchester. Many balked at an initial estimate of about $250 million for the project, although the majority of that funding would come from federal grants.
Gov. Chris Sununu opposes commuter rail coming all the way to Manchester, but has said he would support an effort to bring the trains to Nashua. Mayor Jim Donchess favors looking at the option, and O'Brien said that may be the next step.
"It would open the eyes of the state," O'Brien said.
If Nashua gets commuter rail service, it will increase property values, bring in jobs and boost the city's economy, he said. At that point, the rest of the state may think differently about more rail for Manchester, and possibly Concord, he said.

Brachial plexus injury is a condition that affects the nerves extending from your spine to your hand, arm and shoulder. Dr Sean Boutros, a board-certified plastic surgeon at HPCS is experienced in diagnosing and treating brachial plexus injuries. Our plastic surgery center provides treatment for children and adults suffering from this condition.
This injury is common in adults, usually resulting from motorcycle accidents and can occur even during birth in children. When the nerves get injured, functions of movement, feeling and growth of the arm can be affected because of this.
Symptoms of Brachial Plexus Injury
- Stiffness of joint
- Swelling of arms
- Numbness
- Burning sensation
- Severe pain
- Lack of movement
- Lack of feeling in the arm
- Muscle weakness
- Paralysis of some or all of the muscles of the shoulder and upper limb
Brachial Plexus Treatment Program
Whatever be the cause, signs and symptoms, we provide the required treatment that will ensure relief from this condition. Our surgeon will perform a detailed examination and accurate diagnosis of patients, and formulate an effective brachial plexus treatment plan to rectify the conditions.
- Non-surgical treatment
- Surgical treatment
Sometimes, therapy is useful but in more severe injuries, surgery may be required.
Surgical Options
- Nerve transfers
- Nerve grafting
- Muscle transfers
We use a combination of these techniques to treat brachial plexus nerve injury. To improve movement and strength of a paralysis patient, we may remove nerves and muscles from the leg and transplant them to the injured arm. Depending on the severity of the injury, multiple staged operations may be required. Each patient is unique. Therefore multiple modalities are utilized to diagnose the exact condition, and to provide more effective treatment.

"I wanted to thank you again for the Hope Packet donations you provided us and share a story about how they made placement really great for 2 of our kids. We recently had 2 brothers (6 and 8yo) placed in one of our homes as an emergency placement, and the assigned case manager made sure to take 2 of the Hope Packets out to them the next day. They kids were super excited to get the bags and were even more excited when they saw that there were Legos and a batman figure in them. The child that got the batman figure LOVES batman so it was extra special to him. The parents were also very appreciative of the underwear and socks that were included because the boys did not come with anything and the clothes helped fill an immediate need."
— Aaron Oeser, DePelchin Children's Center Austin branch
"Hello, I am not sure what to call the wonderful bags you recently brought to our office recently for children who come into care. We have used the gifts you gave us and I wanted to say how amazing the bags are. They are perfect and give a sense of healing and sure hope. It is wonderful to have this resource to take out to new children when they are coming in. I recently went to an intake at 1:30 AM and the items in the bag were so good and needed. I thank you so much for the care put into each bag for every child. We are honored by these gift bags and how it has helped us help children."
— Sheila Falco, Angelheart Children
"I recently had the privilege of giving one of these bags to a young child who came to his new foster home with only the clothes he was wearing. The only toy he had from his birth home was a ninja turtle stick. We opened the bag, and he was so excited to find ninja turtle pajamas and night light, a star wars toothbrush, a car, a soft blanket, and several other items just for him! This was also a huge help to the foster parents who had no little boy items in the home, as they had previously cared for preteen girls. Thank you to both groups for your generosity. Your kindness makes a big difference!"
— Carol Strychalski, The SAFE Alliance Foster & Adopt program
"Keller and I went shopping this morning for a 4-year-old boy. I am really proud of this little guy. He picked out things he liked but never asked if he could have one. And as soon as we got home, he put everything out and packed up the backpack."
— Erica Green, Hope Pack drive participant who made a pack with her 4-year-old son, Keller
"Another bag used today! 2-year-old little girl, came with nothing at all — she especially loved her pick socks and glittery brush!"
— Grace Kelsoe, Helping Hand Home
"Just placed a 10-day-old baby girl. She came with absolutely nothing (not even formula) and one of the diaper bags you guys donated was a lifesaver for the foster family. Thank you and all the donors so much for your hard work, you are meeting huge need!"

And here's what I learned.
You can protest, you can Tweet, you can make jokes, you can write Facebook rants, and you can have talk shows to implore Donald Trump supporters to see him for what he is, but those methods are all but futile. They probably won't even see it. And this hack knows because for the past seven days I accepted a mission to watch and read nothing but Fox News. Absolutely no other sources of mainstream media. And below are the findings, which paint not a bad picture, but a clear picture of Trump's base and why they continue to hold him in high regard despite almost daily international protests by opposition supporters and party members alike.
Because truth be told, and not unlike the hard left, the majority of staunch republicans won't read or watch anything they don't agree with. Won't click on it. Will label it fake news if they were to ever stumble across it. They get their news in one place and one place only. And it's not from Trevor Noah, Samantha Bee, John Oliver or Bill Maher. It's Fox News, a 17-year-old cable news channel owned by Aussie mogul Rupert Murdoch that's been the subject of countless media watchdog accusations of extreme right-wing bias since its inception.
I could go on about the countless university and Pew research studies into the show's bias, intentional story selection and general knowledge tests of its audience—all of which reflect badly on both network and viewer alike—but this isn't a takedown of Fox News, or its viewers. It's merely a well-intentioned attempt to understand where the other side is coming from and why—no digs, no judgement. Right or wrong, here's what I learned:
Trump is gettin' shit done, son!
The man is coming good on all of his election promises. And not just that, he's doing it at a rapid rate. He's come good on more election promises in his first week than most presidents do in their entire terms. A ban on Muslims? Tick. Repeal the Affordable Care Act? Tick. Getting to work on the wall? Tick. Supporting conservative and traditional Christian views? Tick. Choosing a supreme court judge who upholds those values? Tick. Trump is authentic. He meant what he said and he said what he meant, Trump is the real deal, 100 percent. This is not a trait we're used to seeing in our politicians.
It's us (Americans) against them (Democrats)
Liberals are un-American. They incorrectly think the Constitution is a living, evolving document. Not understanding that it's to be interpreted today as it was when it came into effect in 1789; set in stone like the 10 commandments. The Democrats are trying to ruin the country and its traditional Christian values, therefore making them fundamentally un-American.
The mainstream media is propaganda for the left, so Fox News isn't mainstream media.
The mainstream media—or MSM as it's commonly referred to in the comment sections—is biased. And they, including Associated Press and Reuters, are the machine arm of the Democratic party intent on spreading lies. All mainstream media is liberal media, and reports fake news. They're also "cry-babies" and "whiners".
Trump was right to fire acting attorney general Sally Yates.
Not only was she left over from the morally corrupt Obama administration, but she dared to defy the President's executive order, flouted the law, and violated the ethics lawyers should abide by. If she disagreed she should simply have resigned.
Obama is a loose cannon.
In the final weeks of his presidency, with the sole intention to disrupt and undermine President Trump and Republican supporters, Obama went rogue and put in place measures to try and block progress.
Democrats are their own worst enemy.
That the Democrats are delegitimizing themselves by protesting anything and everything rather than uniting behind a common cause.
Everyone hates Hillary.
Close to one-in-four of thousands of comments end up referencing Hillary Clinton and how corrupt she is/was. But more importantly, Republican voters won't ever forget that she labelled them "deplorables".
We want evidence.
Republicans don't care what negative things you say about Trump or any of his cabinet picks, because unless you've got hard and specific evidence, on hand, it's dismissed on the spot. In fact, just as "racist" and "sexist" are the catchcry of the left whenever the opposition says something they don't agree with, Republicans have their own—"Show us the evidence". It's hard not to look like an idiot when put on the spot and asked to cite specific evidence to your argument without any preparation and it's a ploy that works.
If you didn't see a major topic of the past week covered here, it's likely because Fox News "selected" not to cover it, or if they did so quickly buried it under more suitable/acceptable stories for their audience. Fox is a for-profit business and they achieve this admirably by catering specifically to their audience. And fair enough. They editorialise the news, which in turn manipulates their viewers. So, if you take away anything from this short recap, let it be—don't hate the players, hate the game. And reach out with an open hand instead of a fist.

Health Information
Fungal Ear Infection
Fungal ear infection is an infection of the ear with a fungus. It normally involves the canal that runs from the ear hole to the eardrum (the external auditory canal). The medical term for it is otomycosis.
What are the symptoms?
I don't know why the man who classified them chose the term fungi (the plural of fungus), because a fungal infection rarely has anything to do with fun. But then his name was Elias Magnus Fries, so maybe he had a chip on his shoulder.
Fungal infections of the ear involve pain and itching. The outer ear (by which I mean the bit your child hangs on to during piggy back rides) becomes red and the skin may start to go flaky. Just when you think that's about the worst it can get, Mother Nature sometimes fits your ear canal with a small brewery churning out pint after pint of foul-smelling gooey liquid. As bad as this may seem, just be thankful you're not Shrek.
Who gets it?
Just take off that wet suit and listen, will ya? Do you seriously expect to go SCUBA diving and waterskiing in a hot country and pour what amounts to a warm fungal soup into your ear without any consequences? No my friend, you will bring back more than an Aloha T-shirt and an inflatable palm tree from that dream holiday. You have been warned.
Read more about the symptoms of a fungal ear infection.
What causes it?
If it's more common in people who spend their holidays in hot countries spraying sea water in to their ears, I think you can put two and two together.
But doc, you say, I spent my holidays in Skegness and I still got a fungal ear infection. What's that all about? Well, even in the UK, temperatures can climb in the summer, the popular season for fungal infections. And do you poke your ears with cotton buds? Earwax does have a purpose in fighting bugs. Leave it alone and let it do its job. If you have trouble hearing, go see a doctor. Lecture over.
Learn more about the causes of a fungal ear infection.
How is it diagnosed?
If you attend your surgery wearing a Hawaiian shirt, a snorkel and flippers, a fungal ear infection may not be the first diagnosis on your doctor's mind. However, once you tell them your symptoms, the penny should soon drop. If there are no clues, it'll most likely be diagnosed after an ear swab.
Find out more about the diagnosis of a fungal ear infection.
How is it treated?
Chances are you'll pop into a chemist who will flog you a 2% acetic acid spray. Acetic acid is the main ingredient of vinegar, but I wouldn't go down the nearest chip shop and pour a bottle of Sarson's® into your ear (other brands are available): it's much too strong.
You'll almost certainly end up going to see your GP who will prescribe some antifungal drops, with or without steroids. No one knows which ones are best so it's a bit of trial and error. If that doesn't work, you might need to see a specialist.
Discover more about the treatment of a fungal ear infection.
What is the outlook?
If the antifungal drops work it'll all settle down quickly and the episode (along with that night under the stars in Honolulu) will become a faded memory. However, you might not be so lucky, and the infection may persist or re-appear from time to time. This is more likely to happen if you have a condition that makes you prone to infections, you keep attacking your ears with cotton buds, or you just can't resist the motion of the ocean.
Read more about the outlook (prognosis) of a fungal ear infection.
What are the symptoms of a fungal ear infection?
An explanation of the different types of ear infection and which parts of the ear are involved can be found in the separate leaflet called Ear Infection (Otitis Media).
This leaflet is about infection of the ear canal (otitis externa) with a fungus. Other causes of otitis externa can be found in the separate leaflet called Otitis Externa and Painful, Discharging Ears.
Typically, the ear starts to look red and the skin on the outer part of the ear becomes scaly. It may start to itch and become quite uncomfortable. You may notice discharge beginning to leak out of the ear.
The itching is often worse with fungal infections than with other types of ear infection. Apart from this the symptoms of a fungal ear infection are often identical to ear infections caused by germs (bacteria). This means your doctor may prescribe antibiotic ear drops to start with and may only suspect a fungal infection when the treatment doesn't work.
Who gets a fungal infection of the ear?
Fungal infection of the ear is more common in people living in tropical and subtropical countries. It's also more common in people who do a lot of water sports such as SCUBA diving and surfing. It occurs more often in the summer than the winter.
About 1 in 8 people with infections of the outer part of the ear (otitis externa) have fungal infections.
What causes a fungal infection of the ear?
Earwax (cerumen) protects the lining of the ear from fungus so anything that reduces the amount of wax (such as sea water splashing into the ear canal and overuse of cotton buds) will allow a fungal infection to take hold. Eczema of the skin inside the ear can be another risk factor.
The outside temperature plays a significant part. Fungi grow faster in the heat, so it's more common in warmer climates. In the UK it occurs more often in summer than in winter.
9 out of 10 fungal infections are due to a fungus belonging to the Aspergillus species and the rest are caused by a fungus of the Candida species.
How is a fungal infection of the ear diagnosed?
It you've just come back from SCUBA diving in Hawaii, your doctor may well suspect a fungal cause for your ear infection. Otherwise, because a fungal infection looks just like an infection from germs (bacteria), it's unlikely to be the first thing your doctor thinks of. Most likely, a fungal infection will only be suspected if your infection does not improve with antibiotic drops prescribed for a bacterial infection.
Will I need any tests for a fungal ear infection?
Your doctor will probably treat your ear first and take an ear swab if the condition doesn't get better. Taking an ear swab is a fairly simple procedure and involves the doctor (or nurse) putting a swab that looks very similar to a cotton bud in your ear and swishing it around. This shouldn't be painful unless your ear is very tender and inflamed from the infection. Even then, gentle swabbing should only cause mild discomfort.
When should I see a doctor about a fungal ear infection?
Fungal ear infections usually cause a fair amount of discomfort and discharge so most people want to see a doctor soon after the condition starts. There are some eardrops available from pharmacies, but the best they can do is reduce the inflammation a bit. In fungal infections, they don't usually have much effect.
See a doctor sooner rather than later if:
- You are in a lot of pain.
- Your ear produces a lot of discharge.
- You feel generally unwell or develop unusual symptoms such as dizziness.
- You have a high temperature.
- The outer part of your ear looks very mucky.
- Your hearing becomes muffled.
- You've bought some treatment from the chemist which hasn't worked.
How is a fungal ear infection treated?
If the inside of your ear looks really messy, the doctor may suggest a clean-up. This has the odd name of aural toilet. It can be done by a doctor or more usually a nurse. It involves gently clearing the ear of discharge using swabs, a suction tube or syringe. This may need to be done several times a week in the first instance. Aural toileting eases discomfort and also helps ear drops to get to the right place. However, it may be a bit uncomfortable while you're having it done, and you may need to take some painkillers.
Don't fiddle with your ear, keep it dry and try to resist scratching inside, however itchy it may be, as this will stop the infection from clearing up. It's not usually advisable to put a cotton wool plug in the ear unless you get a lot of discharge and you need to keep it under control for the sake of appearances.
Avoid swimming until the condition clears up.
Your doctor may prescribe 5% aluminium acetate ear drops. This is also known as Burow's solution. It's not an antifungal but is used to calm down inflammation and help remove any muck in your ear.
A similar preparation that helps with inflammation is 2% acetic acid. This is available on prescription or can be bought from the chemist in the form of EarCalm® spray.
There are a number of antifungal ear drops available which may be useful, such as clotrimazole 1% ear drops or an antifungal/steroid combination such as flumetasone pivalate 0.02% plus clioquinol 1% ear drops. There's no real evidence that one is better than another.
If you've tried antifungal drops for a couple of weeks and you're still having problems, stop the treatment and go back and see your doctor. You may need further investigation and/or referral to a specialist. Hospital doctors have special ways of getting the ear clean and dry, such as inserting a pack made from ribbon gauze, a wick made of sponge that hangs out of the ear and drains it or suction using a tiny tube (microsuction).
What is the outlook for a fungal ear infection?
Providing you're otherwise fit and well and your immune system is working properly, the infection should respond fairly quickly to antifungal treatment. However, if you have a long-term condition that makes you prone to getting repeated infections (such as diabetes or AIDS) it may well come back or become persistent. Also if you're exposed to whatever it was that caused the infection in the first place (for example, you go straight back to water sports again), it's likely to return. The problem with fungal infections (and other types of otitis externa) is that once the ear canal is infected the defence system protecting the ear may not return to normal and a vicious cycle is set up. This explains why frequently poking around inside your ear with a cotton bud (some people call it 'cleaning out the ear') prolongs the condition.

One of the first design classes I had in college was on typography. It was back in the day before the majority of design was done electronically. I remember we had to purchase these amazing yet expensive (for a college student) rapidograph pens. Actually I just looked them up and they are still expensive. But I loved these pens and more importantly I loved drawing with them. They took a little practice, but after awhile they were such a joy to use. Our first project was to recreate some type with these pens. I was awful at first, but after years of practice I became pretty good at it. Sadly, the craft of hand lettering was a dying art. (Thankfully there's a resurgence of it now, but that's another post.)
But today, I was prepping for the opening of a gallery and I decided to hand letter the entrance to the gallery. Boy did those those lettering skills come into good use. Here's a photo of the finished product. If you're in Chicago and at the gallery, don't look too terribly close at it.

Ahhh... Ikea!
Monday, October 8, 2007
I could seriously get into trouble if I lived closer to Ikea. Lucky for me (and my wallet), it's about a five hour drive to the closest one. Everything I need... and the kitchen sink. Now, if all those organizing containers that I bought would just do their job. Buying the stuff is fun, putting it to use: not so much. Still had such a good time, and my outfit kinda matches this room display, so who can resist a great photo op when it comes along?

Who would have thought Adolf Hitler would be a part of Ken Livingstone's downfall.
Ken Livingstone has recently said: Adolf Hitler was "supporting Zionism" before he "went mad and ended up killing six million Jews".
Why did Ken have to mention Hitler? Besides being mad, perhaps Ken and Adolf have something in common?
Here's a transcript from an interview between Oliver Finegold, a Jewish journalist and Ken Livingstone, at the time, Mayor of London, outside City Hall to cover the party in honour of former Culture Secretary Chris Smith, to mark the 20th anniversary of the MP's coming out:
"Finegold: Mr Livingstone, Evening Standard. How did tonight go?
Mr Livingstone: How awful for you. Have you thought of having treatment?
Finegold: Was it a good party? What does it mean for you?
Mr Livingstone: What did you do before? Were you a German war criminal?
Finegold: No, I'm Jewish, I wasn't a German war criminal and I'm actually quite offended by that. So, how did tonight go?
Mr Livingstone: Arr right, well you might be [Jewish], but actually you are just like a concentration camp guard, you are just doing it because you are paid to, aren't you?
Finegold: Great, I have you on record for that. So, how was tonight?
Mr Livingstone: It's nothing to do with you because your paper is a load of scumbags and reactionary bigots.
Finegold: I'm a journalist and I'm doing my job. I'm only asking for a comment.
Mr Livingstone: Well, work for a paper that doesn't have a record of supporting fascism."
At this stage, Mr Livingstone refused to comment further and Mr Finegold ended the exchange as the Mayor walked off.
Ken insults the Jewish reporter with no apology.
Ken Livingstone, an anti-Semite I presume.

The Raiders from Baca
Fire Brand and his Raiders plunder and abuse travelers as well as
the local people. Generally the raiders are bandits outlaws and brigands,
who have joined the giant to attain money and power (over the helpless

provide them with at least some degree of luxury. If he is slain or captured,
they will abandon him without a second thought. Although a

Paris Fashion Week is not an easy bet. You can miss New York and London and Milan but if you manage to check Paris in your fashion tour agenda, you can say you got it all. There are 100 shows in nine days…which means a lot of time and energy and "i'll just grab a quick bite" and "burn my lip with this hot coffee" but "man! i gotta make it to that show!". And it's also about the drama, the waiting, the glamour, the spotlights, the celebrities, the paparazzi camped in front of the Ritz, the feeling of having Anna Wintour's glasses just across the room, of waving back at Lagerfeld in an extatic overflow and it's always about Paris and its endless je ne sais quoi.
So maybe this season critics weren't so enthusiastic with Phoebe Philo's view of the next Celine summer, maybe there's some mise-en-scene missing at Dior, maybe Olivier Roustaing's first season at Balmain was more than we feared and less than we expected, maybe John Galliano will never get its theatrical magic back without its master and maybe Margiela's playing a bit too retail-wise. However, this was again the best time of the year. We loved Karl's underwater experience at Chanel, Ackermann's inexhaustible, understated sexiness, Isabel Marant's cool ways and Alexander McQueen's artful retro mood and Gaultier and and Dries van Noten and Lanvin.
Fashion Weeks are over but we're left with the promise of a gorgeous summer. And till then, there's this fall to enjoy and some whole lot of fashion to dress, dance and sing to!

Schools In
Added by Wunan
Johnny Huckle
Johnny Huckle has released a song to support the education of local kids in the Kimberley. The song reflects the challenges and dilemmas local youth face every day. Johnny said that "The song is such an important song for the kids of the Kimberley because they're caught between going to get educated and being in a place where there is education all‑round, including being on their own country and using life skills." Shawn Fracchia came-up with the idea of the song after spending three months working in children's education with Wunan in late 2015. Wunan are an Aboriginal Development organisation in Kununurra. He was inspired to write the song by the people of Kununurra and the culturally-responsive and inclusive Miriwoong Language Nest Program. It was written in collaboration with Shawn's friends, Johnny and Francesca Kibria, and received the support of local elders and leaders that Shawn worked with. Shawn notes that the hit song 'Treaty' arose because Yothu Yindi thought that if black and white fellas (Paul Kelly) came together it would have a more positive impact than one fella or just one music group alone (How to Make Gravy, 2010, Hamish Hamilton). Everyone involved with the song wanted to inspire local kids to attend school and draw attention to the range of education that may be needed in the Kimberley to meet all children's cultural, language and other needs.

Kununurra, Western Australia
Lyrics: Shawn Fracchia and Francesca Kibria; Music: Johnny Huckle and Shawn Fracchia). Johnny Huckle, song performer: Johnny was recently described by an Australian music industry professional as "one of the most uplifting performers of our generation" (www.the-riotact.com). The album, Cry Stolen produced for the Kimberley Stolen Generation awareness campaign featured Johnny's song, 'Coming out of my pain'. He grew-up on the Murie Aboriginal reserve on the land of his Wiradjuri ancestors. Johnny's songs have been played on Qantas and he has performed at the Sydney Opera House and music festivals around Australia (including with artists such as Archie Roach). He has five solo albums and numerous collaborative and compilation albums. His new album 'Uluru' has recently been released. The recording of the song was undertaken by Geir Brillian (Bjork) with the generous support of Canberra Institute of Technology.

I'm sure most people weren't aware dog-fighting had been legalised in the UK, however it looks as though Camelot and the UK National Lottery Commission (NLC) are flouting the rules if they're there.
It all started off with Camelot's proposal to offer mobile top-ups and electronic payment services through National Lottery terminals, which the NLC believe broke EU competition laws. Nonetheless the NLC must firmly believe that Camelot operate back in King Arthur's time in the sixth century, considering the 20 weeks it has already taken for them to deliberate over the plans. Sit tight Camelot they could be another few centuries yet. The verdict is being sent down from Norway by horse and cart word-by-word. Read more.

Lies and Statistics
The Council's Executive did as I previously announced publish a draft budget for 2015/6 yesterday. The two reports run to a hundred pages in total so I'm not going to attempt to summarise but there is a link at the bottom for those who want to read them. It is a draft budget and along with all the options published in November it is still very much subject to consultation and scrutiny but does give an update on current thinking in the light of changed circumstances since November.
Firstly we are now minded to just do a one year rather than a two year budget, largely because we don't want to pre-empt the outcome of a general election which could on the one hand lead to a fairer distribution of cuts or on the other even more cuts than those currently predicted. Secondly we can now factor in the Airport dividend announced in December, which does allow us to eliminate some of the most extreme proposals and put some money back into key areas like mental health and street cleaning. Thirdly, we now have a provisional grant settlement for 2015/6 which confirms that Airport dividend notwithstanding we face some very difficult decisions.
The City Treasurer's analysis of the provisional settlement makes interesting reading. Government talk about a national average reduction in spending power of 1.8%. The Treasurer's figures demonstrate that for Manchester the reality is a cut of 9.4%. The government have cut their funding to us by £51m and have made no allowance for inflation, wage increases, population growth, and demographic factors such as an increase in life expectancy for people with severe impairments, taken together effectively a cut of another £15m. If we look at cut in spending power per dwelling 2013-14 to 2015-16, the North West has an average cut of £147.14, the South East £14.81, and government still claim this is fair. Overall we are still looking at £50m cuts next year. If over the five years of this government cuts had been equally distributed, we wouldn't need to be making any.
I missed it but apparently the Prime Minister is still claiming we underspent by £50m last year. The City Treasurer doesn't have a clue where Mr Cameron got this figure from but if anyone wants to know the real position they can find it in the 2013-14 Revenue Outturn Report which went to the Executive Committee on the 18th June last year. That report does show an overall underspend of around £3.5m, largely because of unexpected income received in year, but also shows that in the key spending areas, Childrens Services, Adult Care Services and Neighbourhood Services all were overspent.

Wrestling The 5 Most WTF Moments from Raw (3-28-2016)
85 votes 37 voters 3.6k views 5 items Follow
What happened on WWE Raw this week? Well, here are the 5 most WTF moments from the March 28th 2016 edition. Wrestlemania is on Sunday and things are getting even more "wait...wtf?" than usual. From Taker and Shane McMahon, to Roman Reigns in one of the most increasingly boring feuds ever, to whatever whatever Dean Ambrose is up to, Raw was certainly a sight to see this week. What was up with that Brooklyn crowd? Anyway, I watch Raw. I like Raw. I like wrestling. A lot. These are my opinions, but what do you think about what went down on Raw last night? You can vote up my opinions if you more or less agree with me if you want... or just leave a comment!
Shane McMahon. Lunatic.
I am worried. Very worried. Genuinely, actually, extremely worried that Wrestlemania this Sunday will actually be a snuff film. If this is the lead up, this insane elbow drop from a 46 year old man on to a 51 year old man, then what are these two men going to do on Sunday to save InjuryMania from obscurity? Shane McMahon is a lunatic. The Undertaker has proven again and again that he will sacrifice everything in his body for the fans and for the WWE. ... Who else will be biting their nails through it on Sunday?
21 4Agree or disagree?
Dean Ambrose Goes Shopping
Let's look at this segment (which actually was done perfectly in my opinion) realistically:
Here's what this segment suggests is happening in real life, Dean Ambrose is traveling from Brooklyn to Dallas by foot, with a little red wagon in tow, picking up baseball bats, chainsaws, and steel steps along the way.So, if you're looking for Dean Ambrose... just check every arena in between Brooklyn and Dallas. He'll be there. Mining for foreign objects.
15 5Agree or disagree?
Triple H and Roman
Who cares? Has there ever been a more boring lead up to a more boring main event in Wrestlemania history? And what was this mess of a locker room clearing brawl? If you want to see how that's done, I suggest looking at how Brock and 'Taker did it.This main event is an unmitigated disaster. I'm saying that and I want nothing more than to enjoy it. I love wrestling. I love WWE. ... I can't wait for these guys to make me eat my words on Sunday. Truly, I can't. Being wrong about matches, and being proven wrong by two men at the top of their craft is the best part of being a wrestling fan.
8 6Agree or disagree?
New York crowds are always great. Brooklyn specifically has proven to be a great crowd in the last few years. But what was this all about, Brooklyn? You started going rogue during THIS match? A match with Dolph Ziggler (great), Kevin Owens (great), Sami Zayn (great), and Stardust (great)? These are the guys you are supposed to love. These are the good guys. Okay, whatever, Brooklyn. I'll just consider it an anomaly.
5 8Agree or disagree?

Oritani Financial in Township of Washington, N.J., is operating under an informal agreement with regulators tied to its Bank Secrecy Act and anti-money-laundering compliance.
The $4.1 billion-asset company said in its quarterly filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission that its bank entered into the agreement in December with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. and the New Jersey Department of Banking and Insurance.
As part of the agreement, Oritani must develop and implement a system of internal controls to ensure full BSA compliance. The bank also agreed to conduct a "comprehensive system validation" of the how it complies with the BSA and anti-money-laundering rules.
Oritani also agreed to review its BSA staffing needs annually. It will also review transactions and accounts within a specific time period for BSA and AML compliance, and provide regulators with quarterly progress reports.
"Numerous actions have been taken or initiated by the bank to strengthen its BSA and AML compliance practices, policies, procedures and controls, and to enhance staffing in this area," the filing said. "The bank believes that it will be able to demonstrate substantial compliance with the terms of the informal agreement."
If the company fails to comply, regulators could take more action. The filing said it did not know how much the agreement would cost Oritani.
"Generally, the primary issue with these agreements is the ability to conduct M&A and new branching," Frank Schiraldi, an analyst at Sandler O'Neill, wrote in a Feb. 12 note to clients. "With no M&A deals having been announced recently, we believe the agreement has less near-term implications for [Oritani] than it has had for other institutions."
Schiraldi said it is unclear how the agreement will affect Oritani's prospects of selling to another company, adding that costs associated with compliance will likely increase the company's Oritani's efficiency ratio. Schiraldi said Oritani has managed expenses well recently, with an efficiency ratio in the 30%-40% range.
"One clear point we can make is that there is no issue with capital return," Schiraldi wrote.

On Tuesday's "Andrea Mitchell Reports," Washington Post Reporter Chris Cillizza stated that FBI Director James Comey "directly disputed" multiple claims made by presumptive Democratic presidential nominee former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and his announcement "creates a number of issues for the story she's been telling about her email server for the last 15 months."
Cillizza said that while, "legally speaking, this is a great outcome for Hillary Clinton." "In every other way, including the court of public opinion, Andrea, what James Comey did an hour plus ago was very tough."
Cillizza continued, "He directly disputed the fact that she said she had never sent or received a classified email. He directly disputed the idea that it is possible that her account had been attacked. He directly disputed the idea that her lawyers and she had deleted only those emails that were personal, entirely personal in nature, saying they had found emails that contained sort of professional information in there as well. So, they're trying to narrowcast this in their response to say she wasn't indicted. And they're exactly right. And that would have been an absolutely nuclear problem, had that happened for Hillary Clinton, but make no mistake, what James Comey did today creates a number of issues for the story she's been telling about her email server for the last 15 months."

Is Logo Designer a Mentalist?
A good logo is a customer magnet
Despite significant elements such as slogan for example , it will be your logotype that will be noticed first and eventually remembered. Depending on characteristics of your niche you may need a logo design that is in particular style. In world of logo design we can distinguish seven major logotype styles: abstract, letterform, pictorial, character, emblem, web 2.0 and wordmark. All of them have their pros and cons in terms of fitting into given niche. For example you may not treat seriously a company offering funeral services if they would have a logo that consists of cute bunny character absorbed in eating his favorite carrot.
How lo' can you go' ?
It's very important to set an initial budget that you want to allocate in order to obtain your custom logo design. Avoid being caught in a mind loop of saving on everything if your budget is not very high. Bad savings on things you may consider 'little' or 'not that important' may result in serious consequences in the future such as negative brand recognition or no recognition at all. Certainly you don't want that to happen. Another thing to avoid are services that offer logo design for very cheap amounts such as 5$ per completed logotype. Not only you may receive your design in low resolution or one non-vector file format but also it is highly probable that it will be just a shuffled clipart instead of a client-personalized company logo.
Few dollar savings, few thousands lost
One spedition company once have made a mistake by ordering professional logo design that cost them just earlier mentioned 5$. By definition a professional logo design can't cost 5$. If well thought and manually produced, it will be a result of many hours of work over shape, color combination, aesthetic matter, symbols, hidden messages etc. The previously mentioned company have later found out that their competition had a very simillar looking logotype which was proving that their 5$ design was nothing more than just a modified clipart. Unfortunately for them this was just a tip of an iceberg. Logo looked bad on trucks because it was delivered to them as a low resolution design. Poorly chosen colors and font have made their logo design blend into brochures. Again low definition of output file format resulted in jagged edges, and so on…
Just imagine how one poorly made decision have pushed them away from customers and made their company look unprofessional.
What is a well thought logo design and why it's important for your company
Human brain can't focus on more than few elements at once. This is where a well thought logo design comes in handy. Not only you can hide a meaning, slogan, values or something funny in it but also it's greatest adventage is the fact that it's easy to remember for your potential recipients. It's very important to choose either we want a minimalistic design or fancy one. Both of them are relatively equal when it comes to effectiveness as well as they are hard to master. A well thought logo combines elements to create a shape and close a meaning in it. It utilizes those colors that are consistent with color theory and easily fit into website, brochure, invoice and look good on any object such as office mug for example. It's very important aspect as every color has it's own meaning and links different emotions. It would be strange to see highly energetic yellow color logo design on attorney's website and dark gray one on candy store right? That's how important it is.
So…is logo designer a mentalist?
That's a very good question. Just like Patrick Jane in 'The Mentalist', a good logo designer is also using the sense of deduction, prediction and ability to stand in someone's shoes. In this case in the shoes of potential customer. Earlier mentioned colors or shapes have their special, hidden feature. They allow to control recipients emotions towards product or brand, control his memory and make him approach your offer in a more enthusiastic way. Those are the things highly under-apprecieated by future entrepreneurs willing to create their logotype.
Bearing in mind all the above mentioned tips we would like to propose you our Logo Design Company.
You will find more information regarding our company logo design under the link.

This app was a class project I wrote to meet a specific need. I am maintaining a Google Calendar of Chicago area craft beer events for publication as a list of highlighted events on my blogs.The problem was that the Google calendar had no easy way to select just the elements I needed from each calendar date array. My previous solution was to print a date range of event from Agenda view to a PDF, the copy the text into an editor, and kill a lot of lines. Taking what I have learned about APIs, I was able to use the form above that will query my Calendar for events within a certain date range, sort them chronologically, and show just the elements I wanted so I could easily copy and paste into a blog editing window.
A few notes on the building of the app:
- GCal handles the dates for events set to "All Day" differently than for those with Start and End times, storing the time in different elements of the event's array. I used a couple of "if" statements to work it out.
- Since you need both a Start and End time, while I have many events for which a Start Time is given — presuming it ends when they close — I have set both the Start and End times for such events to be the same. Again, I used "If" statements to print the End Time — and the dash between — only if it's different from the Start Time.
- This form items above are set to input data in a DATE format instead of TEXT. In Chrome and Opera, for now, this causes the form to include a drop down calendar.
- Dec. 9, '12: Fixed a search error that did not return events for the last day of the search range if they had a Start Time and it was after "00:00".
- May 4, '13: Finally took an hour or three to figure how to put a default of "today" in the Start Date box. The default End Date is four days from today. You may change the search dates as you like.
- Jan. 12, '18: Many little improvements in the last few years. Each location in the calendar now sports a Globe icon 🌎 that you can click for a Google map of the location. Most recently fixed so that multiple location will have their own little globe.
- June 21, '18: Google Calendar's "update" put the editing box for events in an HTML editor instead of a text editor. I use the wonderful FoxReplace F&R utility to wrap tags around brewer names, but now it spells out the open and close for location tags as literals, as in < and >. I added to my php to substitute for the actual character so I don't have to spend so much time fixing up the event listing. Still annoyed that Google see fit to replace weblinks with redirects from google.com, but that can't be addressed for now.
- Of course, this needs to be able to verify the dates input to assure they are in readable date format, etc.
- I'd like to further tidy the output by printing the date only before the first item for it. And to show only the second "pm" if both the Start and End time are after noon. Well, that will come with time. In the meantime, this puppy is functional and being used.
- Need to move this section to an "About" menu item. Also build it to look better on mobile devices.
Future improvements and wish list:
If you'd like me to adapt this for your own use, let me know. You basically need your Google Calendar's ID, and the Authorization code string from Google.
