Depression Home > Asendin
Depression, even in its most severe form, is highly treatable. As with many illnesses, getting depression treatment early is more effective and reduces the chance of recurrence.
The most common forms of treatment for depression are medication (antidepressants) and psychotherapy ("talk therapy"). In some cases of severe depression, healthcare providers may recommend electroconvulsive therapy (ECT). Some people may also try complementary or alternative treatments for depression (see Natural Remedies for Depression).
For most people, Asendin is quite effective at treating depression. It is also generally well tolerated. However, side effects can occur or the medicine may not work as well as needed. In these cases, your healthcare provider may recommend an alternative to Asendin. Some examples of substitute depression medications include:
- Other tricyclic antidepressants
- Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs)
- Serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs)
- Norepinephrine and dopamine reuptake inhibitors (NDRIs)
- Monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs).
(Click Amoxapine Alternatives to learn more about alternatives to Asendin. Click Dealing With Depression to learn other ways of managing depression.)
People who take too much of this medication may have overdose symptoms that could include:
- Seizures
- Overly acidic blood (acidosis)
- Kidney failure (renal failure)
- Muscle pain
- Loss of life.
Overdose with Asendin can be very dangerous. If you happen to overdose, seek medical attention immediately.

Fall Lawn Care Tips
You may be surprised to hear that fall, in many ways, is actually the ideal time to install your new lawn. Sod takes quicker in cooler temperatures. These conditions will maintain relatively constant moisture levels in the soil that will facilitate root zone development. That means less work for you and less room for error. Freshly cut sod will also last longer in cooler temperatures; however we recommend that you lay your sod immediately upon receiving it.
Not looking to install a new lawn? That's okay; there is still a lot you can do to help prepare your lawn for winter to have a lush and vibrant lawn next summer! Here is a list of things that you can do to strengthen your lawn this fall!
Fall Lawn Care Checklist
By: Kelly Burke, About.com Guide
- Reduce mowing height and begin mulching and raking leaves as they fall.
- Reduce mowing frequency as temperatures cool and growth decreases.
- Reduce watering frequency.
- Apply fertilizer in the early fall.
- Re-seed and top dress weak or dead areas.
- Monitor for insects and insect damage.
- De-thatch/aerate
- Dormant feed with a slow release nitrogen fertilizer. Late fall fertilization is the most important application of the year.
- Winterize mowers, trimmers, and hand tools.
- Winterize irrigation system, drain and store hoses and sprinklers.
2 Comments
We love working with sod in the fall as well, not just for the reasons you mentioned but after spending the entire summer working outside in the heat it's nice for the change of pace and temperature that fall lawn installations bring. We can roll out a new lawn with sod in the fall and not even break a sweat.
In our area of BC (Vancouver Island) we have very mild winters so sod installations can pretty much occur year round.
I never knew that reducing the mowing height would help your yard. I always mow at the same height even thought it gets colder. I will have to remember these tips. Thanks for the info.

Grant Woodward: This image of '˜rich Leeds' could end up costing us
It's not that Leeds is doing badly, but we're not doing as well as some would have us believe.
SO there we have it. Mission complete. Job done. We're officially residing in the land of milk and honey.
Haven't you heard? Leeds is rolling in it. We're richer than every other city in the North and even giving those high falutin' types in that there London a run for their money.
This is according to Barclays, which has produced a "prosperity hotspot" map of Britain. And, believe it or not, we're red hot. Positively sizzling.
Now I would never want to bash Leeds or talk it down. And it is genuinely heartening that a huge global company like Barclays is talking us up in this way.
But as much as something like this can provide a welcome dollop of good publicity and who knows, maybe even catch the eye of a potential private sector investor or two – who, let's face it, are the people we need to keep attracting here – there's also the risk of it doing us untold harm.
Because as much as we would all love to be residents of the Promised Land, we know full well that's not the case here.
Yes, Leeds is doing ok. We've got a couple of nice shiny new buildings in the shape of the Arena and Trinity, with another in the form of Victoria Gate down by the bus station on its way.
But to recast Leeds as a 'rich city'? Sorry, that's not just a long way wide of the mark, it's also downright dangerous.
Leeds remains what it's been for getting on for two decades now – what's known as a 'two-speed city', one that's divided between its haves and have-nots.
Sure, on the face of it, things seem fine. There are those new buildings going up, plenty of shops opening their doors and two huge universities down the road.
But look beneath the surface and things are very different. Leeds still has some of the most deprived districts and communities in the country.
The children brought up in them aren't likely to be able to afford to shop in those expensive new stores, let alone be able to obtain or pay for an education at one of the universities.
And wander just a stone's throw from some of the smartest and leafiest parts of our city and you're likely to find scenes of grinding poverty that are every bit as distressing as those half a century ago.
Back in 1999, Leeds submitted the first 'two-speed economy' bid to the European Union, staking a claim to millions of pounds of aid by underlining how many of its citizens were missing out on the boom that had brought the likes of Harvey Nichols to town.
The reason for the bid was that our own government had crunched the numbers and decided Leeds didn't actually need as much help as it said it did. In short, we weren't poor enough.
But although the city had seen a growth in jobs, these had been tilted towards commuter areas rather than the urban core where the demise of manufacturing had left a gaping hole.
And for all those shiny new shops and office buildings this is still a problem now. The geographical definition of Leeds when it comes to measuring things like relative wealth presents a skewed picture of how well the city's residents are faring.
The traditional inner city areas are the most glaring example of the inequality that still exists here, but nor can we ignore the islands of poverty that surround the wealthiest parts.
And while house price houses in many areas have spiralled out of control, the gentrification that has tranformed so many corners of London is still a long way off.
Things like the promise of thousands of new jobs in the Aire Valley will help, but we shouldn't be fooled into thinking Leeds doesn't have its share of problems.
Most of all, we cannot allow the Government to think we don't need the same help afforded to other major cities. It's not that Leeds is doing badly, far from it. But we're not doing as well as Barclays, and others, would have us believe.
Tragic summer at the seaside
AS the sun glistened off the seemingly benign waters on a baking hot day at the beach, the North Sea couldn't have looked more inviting.
Pestered off my towel by a five-year-old son eager to try out his new bodyboard, we waded into the water.
Suddenly, without warning, the waves started to get stronger. Just as I was giving serious thought to returning to the sand, one crashed against my body and knocked my son clean off his feet, the undertow dragging him further into the water.
Thankfully, we were still on the shoreline and he was able, with a little help, to get back to his feet. I told him we would retreat to the beach and wait until the sea grew calmer.
Dealing with a disappointed five-year-old was, I told myself, far preferable to risking calamity if we stayed where we were.
But this has been a late summer of tragedies off our beaches and many others, including five young friends down at Camber Sands, haven't been so lucky.
What I find incredible is that those who risk their own lives coming to the rescue when people get into difficulties in the water are either funded by public goodwill or do so on a voluntary basis.
We're talking about an emergency service here, and yet they receive no Government funding whatsoever.
Shouldn't the presence of lifeguards and others be determined by need, rather than cost?
Why bother with sitcom remakes?
WOULD you bother repainting the Mona Lisa or doing an updated version of a Henry Moore? Of course not. So why are the BBC rehashing classic comedy series and making such an almighty pig's ear of them?
The other night we were 'treated' to remakes of both Are You Being Served? and Porridge.
Now I was never a huge fan of the antics of the Grace Brothers' employees and all those gags about "Mrs Slocombe's pussy".
But at least the original series had some charm and a few rib-tickling moments. The new version was crass and about as funny as root canal work.
The 2016 take on Porridge which followed was a bit better. But I still gave up after about five minutes.
Because why bother in the first place? The originals are still easily available and their best moments stand the test of time. This was a waste of money which merely served to remind us just how good they were compared to this drivel.

Accused kidnapper has criminal past involving children
BATON ROUGE - As a murder investigation continues in Baton Rouge, court records show a criminal history linked to children for a man accused of kidnapping a murdered woman's daughter.
Wednesday night Baton Rouge Police arrested 24-year-old Curtis King and 22-year-old Daaria Thomas for allegedly kidnapping 2-year-old A'Kyleana "AK" Latham from her home sometime Saturday. Investigators say it's unclear if the girl's mother, Taylor Latham, was dead at the time of the kidnapping.
The body of Taylor Latham was discovered Monday night. She was shot and killed inside of her car in the driveway of her Louisiana Avenue home, according to police.
Looking into King's past reveals a history of hurting children, according to police. Court records link King to the death of his 6-month-old son in 2013. Investigators said on Oct. 29, 2013 King left his son unattended while he prepared marijuana for sale, then later went to sleep next to the child. Police said King told them when he woke up he found his son unresponsive, and called for help.
King was due in court on May 12 to face a second-degree cruelty to a juvenile charge, but instead he's in jail after the kidnapping of A'Kyleana. King was released from jail in March 2014 on a $20,000 bond.

Everyone in Shaker Heights was talking about it that summer: how Isabelle, the last of the Richardson children, had finally gone around the bend and burned the house down…
In Shaker Heights, a placid, progressive suburb of Cleveland, everything is meticulously planned – from the layout of the winding roads, to the colours of the houses, to the successful lives its residents will go on to lead. And no one embodies this spirit more than Elena Richardson, whose guiding principle is playing by the rules. Enter Mia Warren – an enigmatic artist and single mother- who arrives in this idyllic bubble with her teenage daughter Pearl, and rents a house from the Richardsons. Soon Mia and Pearl become more than just tenants: all four Richardson children are drawn to the mother-daughter pair.
But Mia carries with her a mysterious past, and a disregard for the rules that threatens to upend this carefully ordered community. When old family friends attempt to adopt a Chinese-American baby, a custody battle erupts that dramatically divides the town – and puts Mia and Elena on opposing sides. Suspicious of Mia and her motives, Elena is determined to uncover the secrets in Mia's past. But her obsession will come at an unexpected and devastating cost…

Librarians' comments
Little Fires Everywhere explores the weight of long-held secrets and the ferocious pull of motherhood-and the danger of believing that planning and following the rules can avert disaster, or heartbreak.
One of the most popular books checked out from ICPL in the last year. Staff mentioned great character development and the build up of plot tension.
This character-riven novel set in an American suburb manages to cover themes of race, gender and class with a page-turning ferocity. Themes of art, mother-daughter relationships, the quest for perfection and nosy neighbours all come into play in a beautifully-written story that burns bright for readers. We love recommending this one!

Prime Retail Investment in Dublin City Centre for €4m
Bannon are guiding €4 million for 49 Lower O'Connell Street, a Georgian retail building rented by Footlocker at €240,000 a year. The investment will show an initial return of just under 6%.
The five-storey over basement building is located at the southern end of the street close to Penneys, McDonald's and Schuh. It has an overall floor area of 483 sq.m (5,205 sq.ft) and previously had retail use on the first floor as well as at street level.
Footlocker concentrates all its selling efforts on the ground floor and uses the additional space for offices and storage.
There are 13 years remaining on the lease with the next upwards only review due in 2017.
David Carroll of Bannon, who is handling the sale, said the building had a "great profile" beside what would be a very busy intersection of the Luas cross-city service and the Luas red line. The €4 million sale would appeal particularly to cash buyers and debt-backed investors.

Shares of Apple Inc.
rallied 1.2% in afternoon trade Thursday, enough to pace the Dow Jones Industrial Average's
gainers, after Morgan Stanley analyst Katy Huberty's bullish call, citing early signs of iPhone stabilization in China. Huberty reiterted her overweight rating and $197 stock price target, saying she is now "positively biased" on Apple's fiscal second-quarter ending this month. She said first and most important, despite a Chinese smartphone market that remains weak, Apple gained share of the installed smartphone base in January and February after losing share in December. "Second, February was the first month in half a year that our Asia team didn't revise iPhone builds lower…, implying the most significant supply chain cuts are likely behind us," Huberty wrote in a note to clients. She also said data suggests near-term iPhone estimates have "overshot" on the downside and replacement cycles have converged with PCs and are expected to stabilize. The stock has climbed 11.1% over the past three months, while the Nasdaq Composite
has advanced 10.5% and the Dow Jones Industrial Average
has gained 6.6%.

Abigail's Song
Before Abigail was born, my mom said, " I see a blonde curly headed girl twirling all the time. She is spinning and spinning."
Here we are now with nearly a two year old daughter, Abigail does just that! At some point of nearly every day, my mom, my wife or myself begin to worship and Abigail begins to twirl and worship God. It is the most precious thing you will ever see. As the atmosphere in the room changes, so does her twirling. She twirls and then she raises her hand and begins to sing. God God God Goooooooooooooooooood Goooooooooooood.
About nine months ago, I was worshipping, playing the piano. Abigail was twirling with her hands raised. All of a sudden out of no where, she stopped. She looked up and pointed to the corner of the room. Then she got the biggest, most sincere, genuine smile I have ever seen. Her countenance changed. She was enthralled with what she was pointing at. I could not see anything, however I believe with all my heart, she saw Jesus standing in the room as we were worshipping (Matthew 18:3) and it wasn't her first time seeing Him.
If we could pull ourselves away from the carnal lifestyle that we all go through, Abigail at two years old, is completely innocent and knows nothing else but worshipping God (and how to count to 10). We would all see Jesus face-to-face.
Back to the original story, during the time of waiting for Abigail's arrival, my mom would sit at her grand piano and worship God. Over the coming weeks, she wrote a melody inspired by God for Abigail. It was during the time of my mom seeing a little blonde curly haired girl twirling that this melody came forth.
Here it is recorded from a phone. Give it a listen.

I am so grateful to Lynne Segal for her thoughtful and generous review. I am thrilled that people understand the value of revisiting the state socialist past.

For reporting any incident please contact the WBSC:
M.S.I. | Av. de Rhodanie 54 | CH-1007 Lausanne
Tel. +41 21 318 8240 | Fax +41 21 318 8241
Email: email@example.com
All matters pertaining to an alleged incident, personal information of the concerned persons, other information gathered during investigations and results of investigations ("Confidential Information") shall be regarded as confidential.
1.1 This draft refers to the Regulation drawn up by WBSC to regulate on Sports Betting and Corruption in WBSC competitions and sanctioned events.
1.2 Addressing sports betting and match-fixing is one of the top priorities of the International Olympic Committee to safeguard the Olympic Movement. The threat of such activities on the integrity of the results of sports competitions is said to be greater than that of doping, where many controls are already in place. A current assessment suggests little-to-no risk concerning betting on/fixing of WBSC competitions; nonetheless, it is being strongly recommended by the International Olympic Committee to all International Federations and components of the Olympic Movement to have regulations in place.
1.3 As online betting becomes more widely-used and as WBSC competitions draw more attention, there will be a need to develop advanced methods to identify any irregular bets and/or match-fixing. Should the need arise and the threat grow, as determined by the WBSC Executive Board or as indicated by the Olympic Movement, a "Corruption in Sport Monitoring Centre" could be established in the future to police betting activities. It is not required at this stage.
2.1 "Benefit" means the direct or indirect receipt or provision of money or the equivalent such as, but not limited to, bribes, gains, gifts and other advantages including, without limitation, winnings and/or potential winnings as a result of a wager; the foregoing shall not include official prize money, appearance fees or payments to be made under sponsorship or other contracts.
2.2 "Competition" means any WBSC World Cup or WBSC Sanctioned Event.
2.3 "Inside Information" means any information relating to any participant to the WBSC World Cups or WBSC Sanctioned Events that a person possesses by virtue of his or her position in relation to these competitions, excluding any information already published or common knowledge, easily accessible to interested members of the public or disclosed in accordance with the rules and regulations governing the relevant competition.
2.4 "Participant" means any natural or legal person belonging to one of the following categories:
2.4.1 "Athlete" means any person or group of persons competing in any WBSC World Cup or WBSC Sanctioned Event.
2.4.2 "Athlete Support Personnel" means any coach, trainer, manager, agent, team staff, team official, medical or paramedical personnel working with or treating athletes participating in or preparing for any WBSC World Cup or WBSC Sanctioned Event.
2.4.3 "Official" means any person who is the owner of, a shareholder in, an executive or a staff member of the entities which organise and/or promote any WBSC World Cup or WBSC Sanctioned Event. Officials are also tournament officials (Technical Commissioners, Umpires, Scorers, Jury of Appeal) and any other accredited persons.
2.5 "Sports Betting, Bet or Betting" means any wager of a stake of monetary value in the expectation of a prize of monetary value, subject to a future and uncertain occurrence related to any WBSC World Cup or WBSC Sanctioned Event.
The following articles describe conducts that constitute a violation of this By-Law.

3.4.3 Giving and/or receiving a Benefit for the provision of Inside Information regardless of whether any Inside Information is actually provided.
3.5 Failure to report:
3.5.1 Failing to report to the WBSC at the first available opportunity, full details of any approaches or invitations received by the Participant to engage in conduct or incidents that could amount to a violation of these Rules.
3.5.2 Failing to report to the WBSC at the first available opportunity, full details of any incident, fact or matter that comes to the attention of the Participant including approaches or invitations that have been received by another Participant to engage in conduct that could amount to a violation of these Rules.
3.6 Failure to cooperate:
3.6.1 Failing to cooperate with any inquiry or investigation carried out by the IOC in relation to a possible breach of these Rules, including, without limitation, failing to provide accurately, completely and without undue delay any information and/or documentation and/or assistance requested by the IOC as part of such investigation.

The WBSC Executive Board establishes the following articles:

In all procedures linked to violations of the present By-Law, the following rights must be respected:

What Was I Thinking?: Books: The New Yorker:
"Rational calculators are supposed to consider their options, then pick the one that maximizes the benefit to them. Yet actual economic life, as opposed to the theoretical version, is full of miscalculations, from the gallon jar of mayonnaise purchased at spectacular savings to the billions of dollars Americans will spend this year to service their credit-card debt. The real mystery, it could be argued, isn't why we make so many poor economic choices but why we persist in accepting economic theory."
exactly. it is hogwash. people are no more rational actors than pigs, maybe less so.

Nobody sees a flower really; it is so small. We haven't time, and to see takes time – like to have a friend takes time.
–Georgia O'Keefe
The prevailing question for me at the moment seems to be how to live with moral responsibility to the environment. Not just the large, cumbersome concept of the environment as a whole, but every day the question narrows to the smallest aspect of my personal life. It's the consequence of living in an age of relentless and synapse-clogging information, much of which makes claims on my conscience but is beyond my ability to act upon in a meaningful way.
The most recent object of soul searching is an orchid purchased on impulse at the grocery store in early December, one of those small, common, three-dollar hybrids with a ten-dollar Greek name, Phalaenopsis, which means resembling a moth. The five-inch plant came with four candy-pink blooms and two tiny buds at the end of the stem. I've never owned an orchid; they always seemed too close to the vanity that resulted in tulip fever and too high-maintenance, something akin to a cashmere sweater or an exotic-breed pet. But the instructions on the little plastic stake made it sound so simple: indirect light, medium temp, slightly damp moss. I placed it near a window and on cloudy days, kept it under a lamp. Since its moss seemed a little tired, I gave it a fresh layer pinched from nearby woods. Every couple of days, I held it under a slow drip from the filtered water spigot until the moss was minimally moist. About once a week, I gave it a drop or two of diluted plant food.
Soon, the two tiny buds began fattening like rhubarb-colored hearts. After three weeks, the larger bud formed a white seam along its north-south circumference. By Christmas morning, the seam had split open and by noon, the white and pink petals had unfurled. All the shiny, clever gizmos coming out of Silicon Valley could not have compared to that quiet and astonishing gift. On into evening, it continued to widen. Now, into the first of March, it has seven blooms and a new bud. The blooming season for orchids is winter to spring; the test will be whether or not I can facilitate a second blooming.
I can't describe the satisfaction of watching each bloom's slow fulfillment, like witnessing a mysterious incarnation. I don't think even a degree in botany could explain the miracle of plants. In a culture which seems intent on reminding itself of its impermanence with its thrall to short-lived objects, the thought that orchids date back 76 to 84 million years gives some perspective to human enterprise. This precise date was discovered only twelve years ago when a chunk of amber was dug out of a mine in the Dominican Republic by a private amber collector. Scientists found orchid pollen fossilized on the back of a bee encased in the amber.
Still, beauty, mystery, and miracle aside, an orchid in a condo seems perversely out of context—how long can a plant, especially an exotic one, thrive or even survive in such an unnatural setting? It's like the question that has nagged as long as I have lived with indoor cats. Haven't I diminished their lives, both in span and richness, by keeping them from their natural habitat? I have no answer for that, only more questions. What, in today's overpopulated and mechanized world, is considered a natural habitat for cats? My cats have all been shelter cats; wouldn't their urban lives have been much shorter if left to their own devices? Does the seeming happiness and health of my cats compensate for the genetic potential denied them?
Knowledge can be a paralyzing thing, like having far too many clothes to cram into available closets. Some days I am drunk and dazed with the immensity and complexity of the world; on others, I feel overwrought by the sheer intelligibility of it all. I am reminded of my mother, just a generation back, who, as a child and then as young wife and mother in the Thirties and early Forties, did not have access to scientific knowledge. She lived in the rural Appalachian hollows of southwest Virginia where there was no library, no book mobile, no television, no newspaper delivery, where very few could afford a telephone, a magazine subscription, books, or travel. She did not know that the vanilla extract she bought from the door-to-door Watkins salesman and used in every cake and cookie she made (her cookbook was a Watkins cookbook) came from an orchid. She had never seen, nor possibly ever heard of, an orchid. She could not locate on any map Madagascar, the country in which Watkins claimed its vanilla pods originated. And, yet, she knew more about nature, about growing cycles and pollination of the plants in her immediate proximity, even if she didn't have the vocabulary, than I ever will. She, by necessity, lived close to nature, not distanced, as I am, by endless third parties. I, with my three-dollar Kroger orchid which probably originated in an automated nursery in Florida, have merely the illusion of living with nature.
Can an orchid, then, for me, ever be more than a token gesture, at best a constant reminder of personal obligation to live smaller and make better lifestyle choices whenever I can? And can that be enough, given how much I know? I stare at the orchid, and its phalanx of pink faces seems not without a judicial aspect, their open magenta mouths with palates puffed with golden powder offered up like a gift I can only refuse. I may coddle it all the ways in which I am capable, but I cannot do the one thing Creation promised, I cannot bring it a bee.

District still loses out on education funding
Anyone who has ever tried to understand tax increment financing knows how complicated it can be.
Accounting for and distributing property taxes collected in these special tax districts has been a bone of contention since local officials first started using them to pay for public projects about a decade ago.
Now we have a new reason to shake our heads over the concept. In a report to the state, Beaufort County auditor Sharon Burris overstated the school district's taxable property base by about $200 million. The state uses that value to calculate an important component of education funding.
Burris' mistake was in not checking work done using Manatron, a software system that came online about three years ago. She assumed taxable values in the special tax districts had been accounted for correctly. They had not.
The problem was spotted by Phyllis White, the district's chief of operational services. While serving on a statewide committee looking at education funding, she noticed a discrepancy between the figure reported to the state and the taxable value provided by David Starkey, the county's chief financial officer, for the district's budgeting process.
Starkey has taken on the task of keeping track of the tax-increment financing for the various districts and making sure the money for the projects gets to the right place and in the right amounts. No small task when you consider that some of the special tax districts were once large tracts of trees, but are now subdivided into hundreds of lots and commercial centers. His work is separate from Burris' duties.
Coming up with a base value and current value for each newly subdivided piece is time consuming and expensive, Starkey says. He has devised a way to do it, but it's not one that can be plugged into the software.
The bad news is that the state formula that looks at the school district's ability to raise money through property taxes was off by $200 million. The good news (sort of) is the district didn't lose out on any money.
Under the current formula, Beaufort County doesn't get any money from the Education Finance Act funds. And even after subtracting the $200 million in taxable value, we still won't get any of that money.
State Sen. Tom Davis of Beaufort is pushing a bill that would make that formula more fair and bring an estimated $1 million to the school district. His formula would more accurately measure the district's ability to raise money through property taxes. It recognizes that the district can't look to property taxes on owner-occupied homes as a source of revenue for school operations.
Davis knows it will be tough to get the bill passed because any money that comes to Beaufort County is money other districts won't get. And Beaufort County isn't the only county hurt by the current formula. We wish him well. The system now isn't right.
In the meantime, we call for a moratorium on blaming a software program for county ills. By now, every county office that uses Manatron is on notice to check the work.

Grove Disappointed in Governor's Veto of Welfare Reform Bill
HARRISBURG – Rep. Seth Grove (R-York) issued the following statement in response to Gov. Tom Wolf's veto of
House Bill 59
, which would have brought sweeping cost-saving reforms, including work requirements for some welfare recipients, to Pennsylvania.
"Today's action by the governor is very short sighted. According to the State Treasurer Joe Torsella's Transparency Portal, the Department of Human Services budget has grown by more than $6.1 billion, or 22 percent, since Wolf took office in 2015. House Bill 59 would have reined in spending by requiring the administration to stay within the legally adopted budget.
"Additionally, the legislation would have encouraged those who should be employed to work through job training and work requirements, both of which would have contributed to society and the economy on a whole. Work requirements for Medical Assistance, like similar requirements we have for entitlement programs, would have increased income tax and sales tax revenue through economic growth and empowering Pennsylvanians.
"These commonsense reforms would have drastically helped future years' budgets, so tax-and-spend politicians in Harrisburg wouldn't have to ask for more of your hard-earned money or pass economy-killing taxes on Pennsylvania job creators."

Contrado UK and empowering creatives
Turn fabric remnants into a sophisticated handmade outfit. Fabric waste is so last season! Contrado UK empowers designers/sewers with free fabric scraps
Contrado is all about empowering and collaborating with creatives. The company specialise in making eco-friendly printing and producing more than 400 fully customised products
and fabrics on demand. You can create your own clothing, homeware and fabrics or choose something by its creatives from the marketplace.
Contrado love discovering new talent and working with emerging creatives
Contrado has stopped sending its waste fabric to landfills and invited independent artists to turn it into stunning clothing instead. Sideshoo is an emerging fashion designer from London, and she's the first to create inspiring and super-trendy garments from Contrado's fabric waste, which challenge the way we view waste.
Sideshoo designed detailed outfits using free fabric offcuts from Contrado. Rather than wasting these fabric scraps, she has turned them into something quite beautiful. The garments she's created embrace the patchwork look and celebrate the fabric's past life. Now Contrado is calling all creatives to grab their free bags and turn waste into to wearable art!
Contrado is a print on demand company that supports, promotes and helps grow new and emerging artistic talent, and Sideshoo is an exciting new addition. When Contrado made the decision to stop sending waste to landfill, it was her who saw a creative opportunity to give these fabrics a second chance in life.
As the artist reveals: "There's no right or wrong way to make a garment. Be imaginative, get out of your comfort zone and experiment with waste fabrics"
Contrado is acting now to make a positive impact on our environment. They are on a mission to become 100 per cent sustainable and reduce the fabric landfill. They want to change people's attitudes and perceptions towards waste and see its potential and are leading by example!
According to their founder, Chris Child, "Stopping landfill is a long game. Those who don't act will be called out, so why don't we take the higher ground now? We will design sustainability into becoming an important element of all new garments projects and infrastructure.
We have to act on this."
The company believes in supporting emerging creative talent, and offering remnants and offcuts in 5kg bags for free (you just need to pay postage or pick up if you are in London). The creative community has responded and Contrado has been amazed by the beautiful items they've created. The free fabric offcuts come from the company's range of almost 100 customised textiles, and rather than wasting these fabric scraps, designers and creatives have the opportunity to recycle them and create something wonderful.
The bags feature a mix of anything from silk and chenille to fleece and neoprene, this bag is a real asset for anyone's next creative project. It's easy for customers to order and there's a maximum of two bags per customer per order.
"Nice easy transaction. I was really impressed with the dispatch time and the quality of the product itself is fabulous. How ecological it is to offer!" says Vanessa M, one of Contrado's recent customers.

Katsblog Farm Feature: High Lawn Farm
When it comes to milk, the fresher the better, and nothing is fresher than dairy from High Lawn Farm in Lee, MA. The last remaining, complete dairy farm in the Berkshires, High Lawn Farm has been producing, bottling and delivering milk locally since before 1900. In 1935, Marjorie Field Wilde and her husband George took over the operations of her family's 1,500-acre farm, which their family still owns and operates today.
The owners aren't the only ones with a family lineage at High Lawn Farm. Some of the cow families presently in the High Lawn herd are direct descendants of the original herd of 1918 from 15 generations ago. Instead of the typical large, black-and-white Holsteins used for dairy, Jersey is the only breed you'll see at High Lawn Farm. The owners of High Lawn Farm even received the "Master Breeder" award from the American Jersey Cattle Club for their dedication to improving the breed.
These smaller, brown cows use less land and resources, are more sustainable, and leave a smaller carbon footprint. Milk from Jersey cows is higher in protein, calcium and butterfat, making it richer in nutrients and flavor.
High Lawn prides itself on being a part of the local farming community and, in doing so, taking the best possible care of their cows. They partner with Berkshire Grown as well as Buy Local Food organizations to support and encourage local agriculture. Their cows feed off the farm's fresh grass during the summertime. Wintertime feed comes directly from High Lawn's own non-GMO corn and hay fields, and never includes animal by-products or hormones.
Consistently in our Rootdown Selection, we carry High Lawn's chocolate, low fat, skim fat-free and whole milk in half gallons.

With the holidays right around the corner, lovely "picture postcards" of fun times with family and friends pop into one's mind.
However, holiday time with a family member who has dementia or Alzheimer' can add to the chaos of get-togethers. Startling data from the Centers for Disease Control show that more than 5 million Americans are living with Alzheimer's, and someone in the U.S. develops Alzheimer's every 66 seconds. For individuals suffering from dementia, Alzheimers or other cognitive diseases as well as those caring for them – the holidays can add to the pressure one faces.
In time for the season, Professor Rita Jablonski of the University of Alabama at Birmingham School of Nursing has advice for families about how to cope with loved ones who have dementia or Alzheimer's. To ensure happier holidays for everyone, try Jablonski's checklist of suggestions for caregivers during this special time of year.
Keep travel plans realistic
Taking public transportation with a person with dementia can have dramatic consequences. If you're traveling with someone who suffers with the illness, allow plenty of time to navigate the airport, train station, etc., and be prepared for delayed departures, layovers and cancellations. Know where family restrooms are available at all stops, if possible. Some caregivers use printed business cards that read "Please be patient with my loved one because she or he has dementia," to offer as needed. For those with dementia, it's best to limit travel and reduce time in unfamiliar surroundings as much as possible.
Keep on schedule
Staying on a schedule gives the person with dementia some predictability; plan accordingly. If you are going to involve your loved one in a family event or activity, try to hold it at the best time of day for him or her: Night owls may not do as well at a family breakfast, for example. Plan rest periods for your loved one, especially at times when he or she may be irritable or uneasy, and be sure to keep his or her bedtime the same.
Avoid clutter
Ensure that holiday decorations – including family heirlooms displayed for generations – don't endanger your loved one. Make sure that holiday throw rugs and electrical cords do not become trip hazards. Don't place large displays in areas that may confuse the person with dementia. If the loved one helps with decorating, ensure that he or she doesn't instead hide items where they can't be found.
Avoid alcohol
Generally, it's best for persons with dementia to avoid alcohol consumption. However, if they are allowed to drink, remember this may affect the quality of their sleep. Be prepared for them to awaken at odd hours. With alcohol often prevalent at holiday parties, be attuned to how many beverages the person with dementia may have had as he or she may easily lose count. One way to prevent accidental over-indulgence is to substitute nonalcoholic beverages for alcoholic ones.
Take a trip down memory lane
Break out the family scrapbooks or photo albums. Ask the individual, "Who is in these pictures?" Patience is key: Let them reminisce about stories and things they remember from the past, and encourage the grandkids to film the memories on their smart phones for everyone to share later. Strive to make the occasion pleasant – don't make the person with dementia feel as though you're quizzing them.
Seek understanding
If possible, talk to family members – especially teenagers and younger children – about the situation beforehand. Alert them to any usual behaviors or conditions the person with dementia may exhibit. Ask family members not to chastise or try to correct the person for these behaviors. It helps for family members to read about dementia on the Internet in advance, if possible. Ask everyone to avoid speaking in condescending tones or using "baby" talk. Again, ask family members to demonstrate patience.
Jablonski cautions caregivers to avoid feeling compelled to "pull out all the stops" because it could be the last holiday their loved one may remember.
"That, ironically, will usually make it the worst holiday anybody will remember," she said. "In spite of the best intentions, many caregivers' own behavior sometimes triggers negative emotions in the person with dementia: anger, aggression and sadness. The stress associated with the holidays may amplify those triggers."

Story So Far
Hello!It's lovely of you to stop by and take a few minutes to read about my journey so far into the world of full time, self employed jewellery making!
I've always been fascinated by gemstones, glass beads and fossils. I would play for hours as a young girl making tiny necklaces for my Sylvanian Families from wire and my small collection of stones and beads.
In my teens I would spend Saturday mornings in overalls at my Dad's garage cutting scraps of aluminium sheet into funky shapes to turn into keyrings. So I guess it's kind of inevitable that I am where I am now! Even though I went to university to study forensic & analytical chemistry and worked for pharmaceutical companies in between!
When I first set up trading in 2011 I had just mastered the very basics of soldering two pieces of silver together. Since then I have worked hard to acquire new skills and equipment to help me further my passion and produce work that reflects my style and influences.
As you might be able to tell from my picture, I have a strong desire to travel and explore. This photo was taken canoeing on Lake Louise in the Canadian Rockies. Whenever possible I always try to bring home some gemstones to incorporate in my newly inspired designs.
This wanderlust plays a huge part in my design process now and I like each piece to tell a story or have secret details that only the wearer knows about.
