When you are a successful bidder with us you may choose to utilize our in house pack and ship team, pick up your items yourself, or use a third party mover. Shipping within the USA is done through UPS unless otherwise requested and internationally through USPS. We ship to the address on your invoice. We are required by law to collect Virginia State Sales Tax and Nexus Tax where applicable. If you are exempt please read below. List of Third-Party Shippers VIEW LIST Sales Tax on Shipped Purchases Any item purchased by an off-site bidder (e.g. absentee bid, Internet bid, telephone bid,) that is shipped out of the state of VA is subject to sales tax of their state as determined by the Nexus Sales Tax Law. Any item purchased in person at our gallery and then shipped, either in-state or out-of-state, is subject to VA sales tax (because the item was purchased in the state of VA). EXCEPTION: Dealer purchase with all required tax exemption documentation on file. Additional Sales Tax Information may be found on the Virginia Department of Taxation website. Shipping/Packing The buyer is responsible for all associated shipping costs. Credit card on file required for all shipping. Credit card automatically charged once items are packed and ready to ship. Receipt sent to email on file. Standard shipping charges include our packing fee, any applicable materials fee and the cost of delivery with insurance based on the carriers' current rates. Preferred carriers are UPS (United Parcel Service) within the USA and USPS (United States Postal Service) outside the USA. Our packing service is billed at a prorated fee of $18.00 per hour, with a $10.00 minimum. We use recycled materials whenever possible at no charge to the buyer. If we use purchased supplies such as boxes, etc., that cost is passed on to the buyer. Our UPS account provides for a daily pick up at our gallery, therefore, no handling fee applies to packages shipped via UPS. We offer a professional in-house packing and shipping service and regularly pack and ship glass, ceramics, and antiques and collectibles of all types; however, we do not crate or pack/ship large and/or heavy objects (e.g. furniture, statuary) or items that are unusually fragile (i.e. severely cracked vase). If you are unsure if we can ship a lot for you, please ask before you bid. It is our policy to double-box all glass, ceramics and fragile items with 2-3 inches of padding/cushioning between the inner and outer boxes. We ship for an average of 450 customers after each auction with great success (including international shipments) and we will not compromise on this packing method. You are welcome to make other shipping arrangements if desired. A list of alternate shippers can be provided upon request. We will combine multiple items/lots for shipping whenever possible. If you won by bidding with us directly and also through our online platforms, we can easily combine lots to save on shipping costs. We will gladly provide estimated shipping costs up to one hour prior to the start of the auction. Please call 540.434.3939, ext. 0 or email us with the lot number(s) in which you are interested as well as the delivery zip/postal code and country. It is our sincere intent to provide an accurate shipping estimate (within 20% of actual cost), but we are under no obligation to honor an estimated shipping cost. Post-auction requests for shipping estimates/quotes may delay the actual packing of your items by 1-2 business days. We pack/ship in order of request. We often receive 75-80 requests per day in the first few days following an auction and process approximately 60 shipments per week. Your patience is appreciated. Since items must be packed in order to determine shipping charges, you may elect to send payment by check and provide a credit card for the shipping charges. Shipping charges paid by credit card are not subject to an additional fee. If we have packed for shipping per your request, but the item is ultimately picked up at our gallery, the packing fee will still apply. The buyer is responsible for coordinating pick up or shipment of any merchandise that we do not ship. Such items must be paid in full before leaving our gallery. Buyers are not obligated to use our packing/shipping service and are welcome to make other arrangements. We recommend our local UPS Store, Plycon Transportation Group or you may wish to contact a shipper from this list or search the internet for other options. Merchandise that we do NOT ship must be picked up within two (2) weeks of the sale date unless other arrangements have been authorized by JSE&A. Items not picked up within this time are subject to the storage fees listed below. Any items with an outstanding shipping fee will be subject to the storage fees listed below. The grace period begins once the buyer is notified of shipping charges. Pick Up If picking up at our gallery (2177 Green Valley Lane, Mt. Crawford, VA 22841), please let us know in advance! Our standard hours are Mondays through Fridays from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm ET. If you cannot pick up during the week, you may come during one of our Saturday auctions to pick up; however, we MUST know in advance if you plan to pick up during an auction. On auction days, we open at 8:00 am ET and are here until the end of the auction which varies depending on the number of lots ** Storage Fee Information Items won must be picked up within (2) weeks after the date of the auction. Any items not picked up within (2) weeks of the sale are subject to an additional storage fee. After 35 days, there will be a storage fee implemented, of $10 per day, per large item e.g. furniture, and $5 per day, per small item. Any items that have not been picked up within (90) days of the sale will be considered abandoned and will be resold. UPS & USPS A physical address is required for delivery by UPS. Our default shipping method within the USA is UPS Ground. An adult signature will be required for the delivery of any UPS package with a value of $1,000 or more and any packages that contain antique firearms. Our UPS account provides for a daily pick up at our facility (Monday through Friday only); therefore, with the exception of Canadian and International shipments, UPS is generally less expensive than USPS. No handling fee applies to packages shipped via UPS. If UPS determines that the deliver to address is invalid and subsequently makes a correction in order to deliver your package, an address correction fee may apply. (Currently $18.) (Corrections may include the addition of an apartment or suite number, correction to the street name, correction to zip code, etc.) Be sure to include any additional address information when registering. Shipment of won lots to an address different from that on file may require verification, which can cause up to a 30-day delay in shipping. If we are NOT shipping to the address on your invoice, we must have the alternate delivery address BEFORE packing is completed. If we must make corrections to the delivery address AFTER packing is completed, an additional service charge may apply. Insurance is mandatory unless the buyer provides a written waiver of insurance coverage. The waiver may be sent via email to us provided the email used is the one associated with the winning bidder account. If you have specific packing/shipping instructions (e.g. no insurance, do not double-box), your instructions must be submitted in written form and you accept full responsibility. (Email is acceptable provided that the email used is the one associated with the bidder account.) Unless the buyer has his or her own insurance, shipping without insurance coverage is not recommended and is at the buyer's risk. Most international shipments are sent via USPS PMI (Priority Mail International); however, restrictions/limitations on allowed package size and insurance coverage vary from country to country. The USPS GXG (Global Express Guaranteed) shipping method may allow additional insurance coverage, but this shipping option is typically much more expensive. We will NOT alter our invoices or customs forms to reflect lesser item value. Invaluable and LiveAuctioneers Winners The address shown on your invoice is as entered in your Invaluable or LiveAuctioneers account. To update how your information displays on your invoice, log in to your Invaluable or LiveAuctioneers account, go to your Profile Page and then Edit Account. Please inform us if you make updates to your Invaluable or LiveAuctioneers account details before your transaction has been completed as it will affect the buyer details shown on your invoice.

Product Details
Additional Information
2 to 3 days before event
7 Days
Your flowers are cut to order and packaged by certified workers at the world's top farms. Below are some useful details about this particular variety.
Your flowers may not arrive looking as gorgeous as they really are. This is NORMAL. Please review the Flower Care instructions tab on this page or the instructions included in the box so they may look their best. Once hydrated, the blooms will open and you will witness the magic of a flower explosion! Exact color tone of flowers received may vary slightly from the pictures as they are a naturally grown product and monitor display resolutions are not uniform. There may be rare occasions where the exact variety ordered is not available due to unforeseen production or weather issues at the farms. We will make our best effort to reach you if this occurs, however, time may not allow for it and substitutions could be sent without your verbal or written confirmation. Any substitution will be of the same color tone and of at least equal value.
Flower care
Remove the flowers from the box by cutting the straps, but don't remove the rubber bands that hold the flower stems together.
Remove sleeves pro-tecting flower heads and then remove outer guard petals of the roses.
Fill your container with 4-6 inches of fresh, room temperature water.
Mix the packet of in-cluded flower food in the water to protect the flowers and provide ad-ditional nutrients.
Cut the stems diago-nally under running water with a sharp knife or scissors, one inch from the stem's bottom edge.
Place the stems in the prepared water and watch them come to life! Remove the rubber bands and remove any leaves that fall below the water line to increa-se the vase life.
Change water every two days for increased vase life. Keep flowers in a cool location, away from direct sunlight and drafts.
Do's & Don'ts
Do not let the flowers receive direct sunlight, drafts or excessive heat. Leave the flowers in a warm area or spot if you want them to bloom. Leave the flowers in a cooler area if you want to slow down the opening process.
Shipping Information
Your flowers have been cut to order and professionally packaged at the farm. So what's next?!
All Flower Explosion orders are placed in the trusted care of FedEx. Your blooms are transported in modern refrigerated cargo planes and kept in cold storage throughout their journey. You will receive an email from us with the tracking number(s) once the order ships. You may track progress on the Fedex website. We offer weekday delivery Monday thru Friday.
Your delivery date has arrived! The flowers are loaded on the truck and delivered to your door. FedEx does not provide an exact delivery time, but deliveries are typically made between 10am and 5pm, though it is largely dependent on the service available at the recipient's address.
You want your flowers to arrive fresh and in good condition, right? So do we!
That's why FedEx requires a signature upon delivery to ensure flowers are not left outside exposed to weather conditions such as excessive heat, cold, sun, rain or any other risk. Please have someone present at the delivery address to sign for and receive the flowers.
Don't want to reveal a surprise or nobody will be home? No problem! If you would like the flowers to be delivered without a signature, please contact us at least three days before your scheduled delivery date and we will make the request for you. Alternatively, you may write a signed note stating no signature is required and leave it in a location visible to the FedEx driver. Please keep in mind either request method relieves the shipper of responsibility should the packages be stolen or their content damaged once FedEx has left the packages unattended. FedEx does not guarantee all requests will be honored. If the delivery attempt is missed, please call FedEx at 800-463-3339 and provide your tracking information to reschedule or arrange pickup.
Please double check the delivery address entered for accuracy before placing your order. We cannot easily make corrections or changes once the tracking number and shipping label have been created. A $20 fee will be assessed for any changes made to the delivery address once the tracking has been generated. Any address change after the product has shipped may result in delays as the package may need to be rerouted.

Do you want to sell your home in Ft Worth, Dallas, Austin, San Antonio, Houston, and Surrounding Texas Cities? If so, we want to share some possible alternatives to a listing. Many people aren't aware of the options that are often available! Check out our latest post to learn more about what is available for you!
Selling your house can be a daunting task. The process of listing isn't always as simple as is seems. There are repairs to make, cleaning to maintain, open houses, showings, bills and other hurdles to clear all while you are trying to move!
There are alternatives to a listing that can work much more efficiently in some situations. Consider some of these alternatives to listing when you are ready to sell your Ft Worth, Dallas, Austin, San Antonio, Houston, and Surrounding Texas Cities house!
Rent To Own
Setting up your house in a rent to own structure is a great way to get the property in front of many more potential buyers. It is also a way to guarantee you will get full retail value for the home, sometimes more. There are MANY people out there looking to buy a home, but they fail to qualify for a traditional mortgage because of a minor blemish on their credit from years ago, they are short on a down payment or they have another mortgage on a different property.
These are great people, who will be likely to pay a higher than average rent in exchange for the chance at home ownership. To get started, the buyer will pay you an agreed upon "lump-sum payment up-front. This acts as a deposit should they fail to hold up their end of the deal. The buyer will also pay you a higher than average rent, with a portion of the rent going toward their down-payment.
At the end of a year or two, the buyer must purchase the home outright. There are many ways you can set this up. Choose the terms that work for you!
Hold As a Rental Property
Have you ever pictured yourself as a landlord? In some situations, it can be a lot of work. While other times, and with careful screening, you can find great, low-maintenance tenants. Many people who aren't able to sell the traditional way, will instead opt to rent their home out.
If it seems like too much work, you can always hire a property management company to help you with routine maintenance and rent collection. Many people find owning a rental property is an excellent way to secure extra income.
Selling to A Direct Buyer or Investor
When you choose to sell your home directly, you will likely save many out of pocket costs you encounter when listing. You won't need to pay a listing agent, make repairs or clean up. With a direct sale to an investor, the process typically runs much more quickly. Direct buyers are often paying in cash, so they are able to close without relying on bank funding.
When you sell your house directly, make sure to read the fine print and that the terms are agreeable to you. When selling on your own, you will not have a professional to help guide you. Not all home buyers are the same!
Auction Services
Many people are turning to auction services to sell their [marlet_city] homes. Choose a site or person who will generate buzz about your property using excellent marketing. The goal here is to draw attention to your home and encourage buyers to outbid one another.
An auction is great for people who want to want to sell and have a definitive date. By selling quickly, you can potentially save thousands as opposed to listing your home.
Factor in your mortgage payment, homeowners insurance, property taxes, repairs and general depreciation, and you'll see that holding on to a home, that isn't income generating, is only costing you money.

Lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender Americans say they feel more accepted in society than they did 10 years ago, and they're overwhelmingly optimistic that the trend will continue. But a sweeping new Pew Research Center survey also finds persistent levels of stigmatization and secrecy in the community.
"The Pew Research Center finds some 90 percent of LGBT people feel more accepted now than a decade ago, and believe that will continue," reports NPR's Jennifer Ludden. "They credit more personal interactions between gays and straights, high-profile advocates — like President Obama — and more same-sex parenting."
But many of the 1,197 adults who took part in the online survey — the first that Pew has conducted of the LGBT community — say they also see a strong stigma in American culture.
"For example, only slightly over half of folks in this community say they've told their mother about their sexual orientation," Pew's Paul Taylor tells Jennifer, "and just 4 in 10 have told their father."
Jennifer's full report will air on today's All Thing Considered. Here are more of the Pew study's findings:
"Most who did tell a parent say that it was difficult," according to the study, "but relatively few say that it damaged their relationship."
The study also included a section asking respondents to name the public figures whom they see as being the most responsible for advancing LGBT rights.
Two names topped the list: President Obama (23 percent), who said in 2012 that he supports gay marriage; and Ellen DeGeneres (18 percent), the comedian and TV talk show host who came out in 1997. No other names were mentioned in more than 3 percent of responses.
"The lives of LGBT people are debated every day in this country, at ballot boxes, in legislatures, in the courts, in corporate boardrooms," Gary Gates, a demographer with the Williams Institute who consulted on the Pew report, tells Jennifer. "And it seems to me only fair that the public have some information about who they are and how they experience the world."

Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) client.
dhclient [-bdqu] [-c file] [-l file] interface
The dhclient utility provides a means for configuring network interfaces using DHCP, BOOTP, or if these protocols fail, by statically assigning an address.
The name of the network interface that dhclient should attempt to configure must be specified on the command line.
Option | Description |
-b |
Forces dhclient to immediately move to the background. (Not supported by INtime). |
-c |
Specify an alternate location, file, for the configuration file. |
-l |
Specify an alternate location, file, for the leases file. |
-q |
Quiet mode. Forces dhclient to be less verbose on startup. |
-u |
Forces dhclient to reject leases with unknown options in them. The default behaviour is to accept such lease offers. |
-v |
Verbose mode. Dhclient is more verbose on startup. |
The DHCP protocol allows a host to contact a central server which maintains a list of IP addresses which may be assigned on one or more subnets. A DHCP client may request an address from this pool, and then use it on a temporary basis for communication on the network. The DHCP protocol also provides a mechanism whereby a client can learn important details about the network to which it is attached, such as the location of a default router, the location of a name server, and so on.
On startup, dhclient reads /etc/dhclient.conf for configuration instructions. It then gets a list of all the network interfaces that are configured in the current system. It then attempts to configure each interface with DHCP.
In order to keep track of leases across system reboots and server restarts, dhclient keeps a list of leases it has been assigned in the /var/db/dhclient.leases.IFNAME file. IFNAME represents the network interface of the DHCP client (e.g., em0), one for each interface. On startup, after reading the dhclient.conf(5) file, dhclient reads the leases file to refresh its memory about what leases it has been assigned.
Old leases are kept around in case the DHCP server is unavailable when dhclient is first invoked (generally during the initial system boot process). In that event, old leases from the dhclient.leases.IFNAME file which have not yet expired are tested, and if they are determined to be valid, they are used until either they expire or the DHCP server becomes available.
A mobile host which may sometimes need to access a network on which no DHCP server exists may be preloaded with a lease for a fixed address on that network. When all attempts to contact a DHCP server have failed, dhclient will try to validate the static lease, and if it succeeds, it will use that lease until it is restarted.
A mobile host may also travel to some networks on which DHCP is not available but BOOTP is. In that case, it may be advantageous to arrange with the network administrator for an entry on the BOOTP database, so that the host can boot quickly on that network rather than cycling through the list of old leases.

The Bush House – Madikwe Game Reserve
Safari isn't just safari anymore…. And game lodges aren't all alike. Every visit really does need to be special and every moment something to be remembered forever.
The Bush House is not your typical Game lodge. The Lodge is set in the malaria free Madikwe Game Reserve. It is an old farmhouse that after years of family laughter and happiness has been transformed into an inviting and relaxing residence that encourages guests to kick off their shoes and unwind.
What makes the Bush House different?
Perhaps it's in the people who make you feel so warmly welcome, at the bar after your game drive, at the brunch table, or in the boma for dinner under the stars. We pride ourselves on really caring for our guests and being attentive to their needs. As an owner managed Lodge the personal touch is an integral part of our service.
Perhaps it's in the sense of the bushveld. The dust of the elephant herds, the closeness of the rhino, the fleeting glimpse of the leopard… or the massive power of the buffalo coming down to drink at the waterhole within meters of the front lawn.
It could be the luxuries you enjoy. The sumptuous bushveld cuisine or the service so close you only have to lift a finger. Or maybe it's more about the whole experience than a single sighting. More about the memories you made while you were one with nature as you pulled the bushveld around your shoulders like a blanket, and in a strange, familiar way you felt completely at home.
That's why people come back to The Bush House. Again and again. For most of our guests it's just like that, like coming home – even for the first time read more

Onion and Fennel Bisque - Outdoor Wednesday
From the kitchen of One Perfect Bite...I found this recipe years ago on the Kaiser Permanente website. I tried it, loved it and made it a permanent feature of our summer table. I've seen it since on Epicurious and other more tony sites, so I know my judgment regarding the original soup was sound. The predominant flavor in the soup is fresh fennel. There are two types of this aromatic plant. Both types have feathery foliage and edible stems and leaves, but Florence fennel, or finocchio, which has a broad bulbous base is what's used in this soup. This type of fennel is often mislabeled "sweet anise," causing those who don't like the flavor of licorice to avoid it. The flavor of fennel, however, is sweeter and more delicate than anise when it's cooked. This is a really simple soup that's packed with flavor. It can be served hot or cold and it's a perfect accompaniment to a summer meal. Here's the recipe.
Onion and Fennel Bisque...from the kitchen of One Perfect Bite
Ingredients: 2 leeks (white and pale green parts only), chopped (1 cup)
3 medium red onions, chopped (3 1/2 cups)
1/2 lb fennel bulb (sometimes called anise), stalks discarded and bulb cored and chopped (1-1/4 cups)
1 large garlic clove, minced
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/4 cup dry white wine
2 cups vegetable stock or low-sodium chicken broth
1-1/4 cups water
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/8 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1 cup heavy cream
2 teaspoons Pernod Garnish: chopped fresh chives
1) Wash leeks well in a bowl of cold water, then lift out and drain well.
2) Cook onions, leeks, fennel, and garlic in butter in a 5- to 6-quart heavy pot over moderate heat, covered, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 15 minutes. Add wine and boil, uncovered, until evaporated, about 1 minute. Add stock, water, salt, pepper, and nutmeg and simmer, uncovered, until vegetables are tender, about 10 minutes. Stir in cream and simmer, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened and liquid is reduced to about 6 cups, about 15 minutes.
3) Purée soup in batches in a blender until smooth (use caution when blending hot liquids), then transfer to bowls and chill or serve. Yield: 5 cups.
This recipe is being linked to Outdoor Wednesday, an event sponsored by Susan at A Southern Daydreamer.

Sounds intereting about this recipe! Had never try them in soup and it's a little difficult to get them fresh over here! Thanks for sharing!

sounds like a wonderful soup. Fennel (the herb kind) grows prolifically in Linderhof's garden -- your pictures of fennel are wonderful!
I will have to try this soup soon. - August 5, 2009 at 6:00 AM

4 Dead, 16 Injured in Fort Hood Shooting
Four people, including the gunman, were killed and 16 others injured in a shooting at Fort Hood in Killeen, Texas Wednesday evening. Fort Hood officials said the gunman was a soldier who had been receiving mental health treatment and that he died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
9:40 p.m.: Lt. Gen. Mark Milley confirms that four are dead and 16 injured in the shooting at the base. Milley said all of the wounded and killed were members of the military.
Milley said the gunman, a soldier who was transferred to the base in February, was among the dead and had died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound. The soldier's name was being withheld pending notification of his family. The general said the soldier is married and has a family.
The shooter spent four months in Iraq in 2011 and had been seeking diagnosis for post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), Milley said. He said the soldier had been receiving treatment for depression and other mental health issues.
Milley said the shooting began around 4 p.m. and that the gunman walked into a building in the medical area on the base, opened fire with a semi-automatic .45 caliber Smith & Wesson handgun, then traveled to another building where he also opened fire. Milley said the gunman was engaged by a female military officer, at which point he turned his weapon on himself.
Milley said the handgun used in the tragedy was not registered on Fort Hood as base rules require. He said the soldier had purchased the gun recently in the area. Milley said officials are examining the soldier's history as their investigation continues.
"There is no indication that it is related to terrorism, although we are not ruling anything out and the investigation continues," Milley said.
Daily press conferences are scheduled to be held, beginning on Thursday, as more information develops and can be released.
9:00 p.m.: The lockdown on the base has been lifted, according to Fort Hood officials. A press conference is expected to begin shortly.
8:40 p.m.: According to CNN, a semi-automatic handgun was used in the shooting and the gunman was wearing a military uniform.
7:20 p.m.: CBS identified the gunman as 34-year-old Ivan Lopez, although the gunman's identity has not been confirmed by Fort Hood officials or the Pentagon. Reports suggest that the gunman was in uniform at the time of the shooting.
According to officials at the base, the injured were being taken to Car. R. Darnall Medical Center and other local hospitals and numerous law enforcement agencies were called to the scene.
In a written statement released at 6:29 p.m. local time, officials at the base said "Fort Hood's Directorate of Emergency Services has an initial report that a shooter is dead but this is unconfirmed" and that the base remained on lockdown.
President Barack Obama spoke after being briefed on the shooting. [FULL STATEMENT]
"Any shooting is troubling. Obviously this reopens the pain of what happened at Fort Hood five years ago," Obama said in his statement. "And when they're at their home base they need to feel safe. We don't yet know what happened tonight but obviously that sense of safety has been broken once again. And we're going to have to find out exactly what happened."
6:09 p.m.: KCEN-TV in Waco, Killeen and Temple is reporting a shooting with multiple injuries at Fort Hood.
The station reported at least one patient is being transported to the hospital, and at least three injuries to soldiers. The suspect is reportedly still at large and was believed to be in the Medical Brigade Building. Fort Hood is on lockdown.
About Fort Hood:
Fort Hood is the largest active duty armored post in the country and is located in Killeen, about halfway between Austin and Waco, Texas.
The base was the site of a 2009 mass murder by Nidal Malik Hasan, who killed 13. Hasan was convicted last August and sentenced to death for his crimes. He remains in military custody pending execution.

Carmel Renters Insurance
Many people who choose to rent rather than purchase a home may consider renters insurance an unnecessary expense. Regardless of the value of your belongings, if you lost all of your personal property as a result of an accident, fire, theft or other damages, can you afford to replace everything?
Comprehensive Coverage for Renters
A renter's policy from Tom Plummer Agency can financially protect you against losses by replacing the cost of the personal property and contents of your apartment in Carmel, including electronics, appliances, clothing and other items. In addition, visitors to your rental are also protected with customized policies that can also include hotel expenses in the event that you must vacate the premises due to an accident, fire or other hazard.
Are You Covered?
Unfortunately, it is quite frequent that a landlord is concerned only with their business and not the wellbeing of the tenants. Don't rely on your landlord's insurance which most likely only covers the property itself and not your belongings. Tom Plummer Agency renters insurance offers coverage options that include the full replacement costs of your valuables from damages as a result of unexpected accidents or theft.
Carmel Condo Insurance
Much like the policy held by a landlord, a condo association's insurance policy often only provides coverage for damages to the structure and common areas. Condominium owners in Carmel can enhance insurance protection with tailored Tom Plummer Agency policies that is more affordable than a traditional homeowner's insurance policy and customized specifically to your unique requirements.
Since condo owners are responsible for any damages within their units, a condo insurance policy can offer protection against loss of personal property as well as water damage, fire and other disasters or accidents. Consult with our Tom Plummer Agency agents for specific details and coverage options that distinguish condo owners from renters and standard homeowner's insurance policies.
If you have any questions or concerns about finding the right renters or condo insurance that fits your needs and budget, then please feel free to contact us via phone or email. We look forward to showing you all the options that are available to you.

The largest current study of an AIDS vaccine, involving 2,500 people, is being stopped.
After an oversight committee took a preliminary peek at the results this past Monday, they concluded there was no way the study would show that the vaccine prevents HIV infection.
Nor would the vaccine suppress the wily virus among people who get infected despite being vaccinated.
So they pulled the plug on HVTN-505, as the study is called.
"It was a huge disappointment," says study leader Dr. Scott Hammer, who learned the bad news at 1:45 Monday afternoon.
Hammer tells Shots the blow was all the more crushing because just a month earlier the 19-city study had met its goal for participants.
"It was a big traumatic event to put all this effort in and then have the vaccine trial stop because of futility a month after we completed enrollment," Hammer says. He's chief of infectious diseases at Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons and a leading AIDS researcher who's been fighting the virus since the pandemic's beginning.
Participants are being notified that no more shots will be given. They will be followed for up to five more years to glean as much insight as possible from the $77 million, federally financed project.
It's another swerve into the ditch for AIDS researchers' on the long road to devise a vaccine that can prevent HIV infection, or at least blunt it, in a significant proportion of people at risk.
The only success so far has been in a study involving 16,000 volunteers in Thailand. Published in late 2009, it showed a reduction in the rate of HIV infection by only 31 percent — not enough to deploy as a public health weapon, but a glimmer that encouraged researchers to think a protective vaccine is possible.
However, the latest big hope was dashed by these numbers: Among those in the just-halted study who got the vaccine, 41 people got infected with HIV, compared to 30 who got placebo shots.
That doesn't necessarily mean that the vaccine actually increased people's risk of HIV infection, because the difference is not statistically significant. But Hammer acknowledges that possibility.
"It's clear evidence the vaccine didn't work and may in some fashion put them at greater risk — we don't know that," he says. "The major message is they were not protected."
It may put the kibosh on the future use of an weakened cold virus, called Ad5, that was used as a vector — a vehicle carrying selected HIV genes that was used as part of the complicated four-shot vaccine regimen.
The possible riskiness of using the Ad5 vector was raised by results of an earlier HIV vaccine trial called STEP back in 2007. That study was halted prematurely because of evidence that those who got the vaccine had higher risk of HIV infection.
The designers of the big HVTN-505 study hoped they'd avoided that problem by enrolling only people who had no evidence of prior exposure to the Ad5 cold virus. They reasoned that antibodies directed at the cold virus could have interfered with its efficacy as a vaccine vector and somehow increased the risk of HIV infection.
Other, early-phased HIV vaccine trials are using the Ad5 vector. Those will be reevaluated in light of the new findings, Hammer says.
"My own feeling is it's curtains for the Ad5 vector," Hammer says.
Even more ominous is the possibility is that it's not the vector that may be increasing the risk but rather any vaccine component that stimulates immune cells to attack HIV.
Since that's precisely what vaccines are supposed to do, that would be a catch-22 and a serious setback for AIDS vaccine research. But it's too soon to jump to that conclusion.
Leading AIDS researchers were disappointed by the failure of HVTN-505 – but not necessarily surprised, given the history of previous attempts.
"In a lot of ways, we're not much farther down the road than we were a number of years ago," Dr. Robert Schooley of the University of California, San Diego told MedPage Today.
"We understand a lot more about how (HIV-infected) people respond to the virus," Schooley says. "We don't know as much as we need to know about how to make uninfected people make the same kind of responses."
AVAC, an advocacy group pushing the development of an HIV vaccine, said this latest failure "is a reminder of how challenging it is to develop an effective AIDS vaccine."
"This trial has provided a clear, swift answer about a specific vaccine strategy," says Mitchell Warren of AVAC. "It's not the answer we hoped for, but the search doesn't end here."
In fact, the search will continue with a careful dissection of the data gathered by the latest study.
Hammer says researchers will look at whether some people who got the vaccine were protected, and whether the vaccine produced the expected immune response. "Did it put pressure on the virus, but then the virus escaped?" he wonders. "We've got a bunch of things to do to figure this out."
To help with that task, the researchers are going to be talking with all 2,504 volunteers in the hope they can be persuaded to be poked and prodded for at least another couple of years to follow their responses and their risk of HIV infection.
The researchers will also redouble their efforts to get study volunteers to avoid risky behaviors that could expose them to HIV, given the clear evidence that the vaccine didn't protect them, and could have increased their risk of infection.
Meanwhile, this latest bad news "will throw the field into another round of discussion" about what to do next, Hammer says.
What it will not do, he says, is reduce the drive to keep trying until scientists come up with a vaccine "that gives us solid protection" against multiple strains of HIV.

You've likely experienced occasional visual "floaters" or flashes and may have wondered what they were and if they're a cause for concern. They look like tiny lines, shapes, shadows, or specks that appear to be drifting in the visual field. More often than not, seeing floaters is a normal occurrence and does not indicate a problem with ocular or visual health. However, when floaters become more frequent and are accompanied by flashes of light, that can indicate a more serious problem.
Eye flashes resemble star-like specks or strands of light that either flash or flicker in one's field of vision. They can either be a single burst in one visual zone, or can be several flashes throughout a wider area. Flashes can sometimes be missed as they most often appear in the side or peripheral vision.
Floaters & Flashes Eye Care in Rialto, California
If you suddenly, or with increasing frequency, experience flashes or floaters, call NorthPointe Optometric Center and schedule an eye exam with Dr. Gary Freestone right away to rule out any serious eye conditions.
What Causes Floaters?
The vitreous in the eye is a clear gel that fills most of the eyeball and resembles raw egg-white. Within the vitreous are small lumps of protein that drift around and move with the motion of your eyes. When these tiny lumps of protein cast shadows on the retina — the light-sensitive lining at the back of the eye — the shadows appear as floaters.
As we age, the vitreous shrinks, creating more strands of protein. This is why the appearance of floaters may increase with time. Floaters tend to be more prevalent in nearsighted people and diabetics, and occur more frequently following cataract surgery or an eye injury.
If seeing floaters becomes bothersome, try moving your eyes up and down or side to side to gently relocate the floaters away from your visual field.
What Causes Flashes?
Flashes result from the retinal nerve cells being moved or tugged on. As the vitreous shrinks over time, it can tug at the retina, causing you to "see stars" or bursts of light. The process of the vitreous separating from the retina is called "posterior vitreous detachment" (PVD) and usually isn't dangerous.
In about 16% of cases, PVD causes tiny tears in the retina that can lead to retinal detachment — a sight-threatening condition that causes irreversible blindness if left untreated.
Other possible causes of flashes are eye trauma or migraine headaches.
When To Call Your Optometrist About Floaters
If you experience any of the following symptoms, promptly make an appointment with an eye doctor near you for emergency eye care.
Symptoms You Shouldn't Ignore
- A sudden onset of floaters accompanied by flashes (which can be any shape or size)
- An increase of floaters accompanied by a darkening of one side of the visual field
- Shadows in the peripheral vision
- Any time flashes are seen
In many cases, seeing floaters is no cause for concern; however the above symptoms could indicate retinal detachment—which, if left untreated, could cause a permanent loss of sight or even blindness.
If the receptionists pick up the phone and hear the main concern is floaters or flashes, they will try to squeeze in the appointment within 24 hours. Expect the pupils to be dilated during your eye exam, so the eye doctor can get a really good look at the peripheral retina to diagnose or rule out a retinal tear or other serious condition, as opposed to a non-vision-threatening condition such as uncomplicated posterior vitreous detachment (quite common) or ocular migraine.
Please contact NorthPointe Optometric Center in Rialto at 909-875-1144 with any further questions, or to schedule an eye doctor's appointment.

Where Can I Get HRT in Antrim County, Michigan
Best HRT Doctors in Antrim County, MI
Diagnosing and treating hormone deficiencies and imbalances in women requires the attention of a physician specializing in adult female hormone replacement therapy. Every woman is an individual, and likewise, will have to be treated as an individual. An HRT physician will take into consideration your individual medical history, symptoms and comprehensive lab results to determine the correct treatment protocol tailored specifically for you.
It is important to note that not every adult female will be a candidate for Hormone Replacement Therapy. This is why it's very important that you speak with a doctor who specializes in treating Hormone Imbalance in women to discuss the right treatment for you.
How Does Hormone Replacement Therapy Work?
As with menopause itself, there's a lot of confusing and conflicting information out there about hormone replacement therapy (HRT) – its benefits, its drawbacks, its risks. What's often missing from the discussion is that there are different kinds and methods of HRT. You can get very different answers and solutions from the different kinds of health practitioners that administer HRT – ob/gyns, GPs, internists, and NDs (naturopathic doctors).
Perhaps most importantly though is the difference between bioidentical hormones and conjugated or synthetic hormones. Bioidentical hormones are those that are identical in molecular structure to the ones a woman's body makes (Source: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4132968/), while non-bioidentical hormones differ. The lion's share of information from media and other sources is talking about conjugated/synthetic hormones. That won't usually specifically identified, although they will sometimes be referred to as "traditional" HRT.
Based on testing and symptoms, women may be treated with replacement estrogen and/or testosterone. Progesterone must also be used to balance out the estrogen. Bioidentical hormones are applied to the skin in form of gels or creams or ingested as tablets according to a physician-specified regimen.
How Can HRT Improve My Health and Quality of Life?
Increasing and balancing hormone levels through HRT can help restore your mental and physical well-being by:
- Relieving hot flashes and night sweats
- Reviving sex drive and enhancing sexual functioning
- Supporting hair and skin health and appearance
- Improving sleep
- Clearing "brain fog" and restoring memory and mental acuity
- Protecting against osteoporosis
- Stabilizing mood and lifting depression
- Increasing energy levels
- Countering weight gain
Will my hormone replacement be synced with my menstrual cycle?
The female body's hormones surge and ebb as a part of a natural rhythm, controlling all endocrine function, predominantly a woman's health for reproduction. It is the circadian clock in our cells that measures one 24 hour spin of the planet. For 28 days the moon tracks the repeat of that cycle, and so does the body. Typically your doctor will prescribe a treatment that aligns with the female body's natural rhythm of hormone production to establish the proper doses of estradiol, testosterone, and progesterone that mimic the natural hormones which would be produced by your body if you were young. The topical creams and their amounts vary throughout the 28 day cycle to restore the hormone levels of a woman in her prime because young women, for the most part, don't have heart attacks, breast cancer, Alzheimer's, osteoporosis, or type 2 diabetes.
What are Bioidential Hormones?
Bioidenticals are hormones that are identical in molecular structure to the hormones women make naturally in their bodies. They're not found in this form in nature, but are made from a plant chemical extraction process. Ask your doctor if bioidentical hormone treatment is right for you.
What are the risks of Hormone Replacement in Women?
- Urinary incontinence – Use of estrogen plus progestin can increase the risk of urinary incontinence.
- Dementia – Use of estrogen plus progestin can increase the risk of developing dementia among postmenopausal women age 65 and older.
- Stroke, blood clots, and heart attack – Women who either combine hormone therapy treatments or take estrogen alone have an increased risk of stroke, blood clots, and heart attack.
- Breast cancer – Women who take estrogen plus progestin may be at a higher risk of being diagnosed with breast cancer.
- Irritability – Some women have reported increased aggressiveness or irritability at the start of hormone therapy that includes Testosterone. These issues are generally resolved as levels become balanced. If this is a concern, please advise your HRT Wellness doctor, and have Testosterone removed from your treatment plan.
What role does Testosterone play in women?
Although only a small amount is required for women, testosterone plays a role in a women's sex drive as well as the ability to build and retain lean muscle mass.
I have had a hysterectomy; am I a candidate for HRT?
Our entire bodies need estrogen and progesterone. The cycle supports our bones, our brains, the myelin coating of our nerves, our hearts and many other systems. Women without a uterus and or ovaries tend to need more hormone replacement because of what is missing. A woman without a uterus follows the cycle of the moon (lunar calendar) for her monthly rhythms. She has her day 12 peak on the full moon. Talk to your doctor to see if Hormone Replacement Therapy is right for you.

Redirected from American Indian
Native Americans, also called American Indians or Amerindians, form the indigenous peoples who already lived in the Americas before European colonization, and who still survive.
Canadians now generally use the term "First Nations" to refer to Native Americans. In Alaska, because of legal use in the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act (ANSCA) and because of the presence of the Inuit, Yupik, and Aleut peoples, the term Alaskan Native predominates. (See further discussion below.)
Native Americans officially make up the majority of the population in Bolivia and Guatemala and are significant in most other Hispanic American countries, with the possible exception of Costa Rica, Cuba, Dominican Republic and Uruguay.
Based on anthropological evidence, at least three distinct migrations from Siberia across the Bering Land Bridge occurred. The first wave of migration came into a land populated by the large mammals of the late Pleistocene epoch, including mammoths, horses, giant sloths, and wooly rhinoceroses. The Clovis culture[?] provides one example of such immigrants. Later the Folsom culture[?] developed, based on the hunting of bison.
The second immigration wave comprised the Athabascan people, including the ancestors of the Apache and the Navajo; the third wave consisted of the Inuit, the Yupik, and the Aleut, who may have come by sea over the Bering Strait. These last are so ethnically distinct from the remainder of the aboriginal inhabitants of the Americas that they are not usually included in the terms "American Indian" or "First Nations".
The Athabascan peoples, late migrants, generally lived in Alaska and western Canada but several tribes migrated south as far as California and the American Southwest[?].
In recent years, anthropological evidence of migration has been supplemented by studies based on molecular genetics. The provisional results from this field suggest that four distinct migrations from Asia occurred; and, most surprisingly, provide evidence of smaller-scale, contemporaneous human migration from Europe. This suggests that the migrant population, living in Europe at the time of the most recent ice age, adopted a life-style resembling that lived by the Inuit and Yupik in recent centuries.
In the Mississippi valley of the United States, in Mexico and Central America, and in the Andes of South America Native American civilizations arose with farming cultures and city-states.
See archeology of the Americas.
The Arrival of Europeans In the 15th century Spaniards and other Europeans brought horses to the Americas. Some of these animals escaped their owners and began to breed and increase their numbers in the wild. Ironically, the horse had originally evolved in the Americas, but the last American horses died out at the end of the last ice age. The re-introduction of the horse, however, had a profound impact on Native American cultures in the Great Plains of North America. This new mode of travel made it possible for some tribes to greatly expand their territories, exchange goods with neighboring tribes and to more easily capture game.
Europeans also brought diseases against which the Native Americans had no immunity. Sometimes they did this intentionally, but often it was intentinal. Common and rarely fatal ailments such as chicken pox and the measles often proved fatal to Native Americans, and other more deadly diseases, such as smallpox, were especially deadly to Indian populations. It is difficult to estimate the percentage of the total Native American population killed by these diseases, since waves of disease oftentimes preceded White scouts and often destroyed entire villages. Some historians have argued that more than 80% of some Indian populations may have died due to European-derived diseases. [See Jeffrey Amherst]
The first reported case of white men scalping[?] Native Americans took place in New Hampshire colony on February 20, 1725.
In the 19th century the United States forced Native Americans onto marginal lands in areas farther and farther west as white settlement of the young nation expanded in that direction. Numerous Indian Wars[?] broke out between US forces and many different tribes. Authorities drafted countless treaties during this period and then later nullified them for various reasons. The fighting climaxed with the Native American victory at the Battle of Little Bighorn and with the massacre of Native Americans at Wounded Knee. Then on January 31, 1876 the United States government ordered all Native Americans to move into reservations or reserves. This effectively ended the Prairie Culture[?] that developed around the use of the horse for hunting, travel and trading.
Military defeat, cultural pressure, confinement on reservations and (especially) slavery have had deleterious effects on Native Americans' mental and ultimately physical health. Contemporary problems include alcoholism and diabetes: see New World Syndrome.
Classification Ethnographers commonly classify the native peoples of the United States and Canada into ten geographical regions with shared cultural traits. The following list groups peoples by their region of origin, followed by the current location. See the individual article on each tribe for a history of their movements. The regions are:
Indians of Central and South America are generally classified by language, environment, and cultural similarities.

What name best identifies this group of people?
The term "Native American" originated with anthropologists who preferred it to the former appelations of "Indian" or "American Indian", which they considered inaccurate, as these terms bear no relationship to the actual origins of Aboriginal Americans (or American Aborigines), and were born of the misapprehension on the part of Christopher Columbus, arriving at islands off the east coast of the North American continent, that he had reached the East Indies. The words "Indian" and "American Indian" continue in widespread use in North America, even amongst Native Americans themselves, many of whom do not feel offended by the terms. "Red Indian[?]" is a common British term, useful in differentiating this group from a distinct group of people referred to as East Indians.
One minority view has advocated the name "Asiatic Americans" as a more accurate term because of the popular theory that such peoples migrated to the Americas from Asia across an ice bridge covering the Bering Straits some 20,000 years ago. Competent fossil evidence supports the case for such a migration. The strong tradition among archaeologists and anthropologists, however, is to indicate the geographic origins of a people as relating to the region where researchers first encountered them or their remains.
One difficulty with the term "Native American" as a substitute for "American Indian" lies in the fact that there exist several groups of people indisputably indigenous to the Americas, but who fall outside the classification of "American Indians", for example the Innu people of the Labrador/Quebec peninsula and the Inuit, Yupik, and Aleut peoples of the far north of the continent.
Another difficulty is that many Native American groups migrated (or were displaced) to their current locations after the start of European colonization, and therefore it can be argued that they have no more "native" ties to their current locations than do the Europeans.

Normal sight includes central vision (the field of view straight ahead) and peripheral vision (the field of view outside the circle of central vision). The inability to see within a normal range of view often indicates peripheral vision loss. In severe cases of peripheral vision loss, individuals only see with their central vision, which causes the sensation of looking through a narrow tunnel. For this reason, peripheral vision loss is sometimes referred to as tunnel vision.
Peripheral Vision Loss Signs and Symptoms
The primary symptom of peripheral vision loss is tunnel vision. When this symptom occurs, you are only able to see a small circle straight ahead. You may also have difficulty seeing in low light and have trouble walking.
Peripheral vision loss does not always occur rapidly. As a result, many sufferers do not immediately realize they are experiencing a loss of peripheral vision, and do not receive diagnosis until examined by an eye care professional.
Peripheral Vision Loss Causes
Several conditions cause peripheral vision loss. Some conditions are serious and require immediate treatment, while others will simply clear up on their own. Any loss of vision or change in sight, however, should prompt an immediate examination by an eye care professional to rule out or begin treatment for any serious medical conditions.
Conditions which cause peripheral vision and require medical treatment include glaucoma, damage to the retina, detached retina, retinitis pigmentosa, brain damage due to stroke or loss of blood, occlusions (eye strokes), optic nerve damage, optic neuritis, compressed optic nerve head, and concussions or other head injuries.
In addition to these conditions which can lead to permanent vision loss, some factors cause temporary tunnel vision and may not require medical treatment. These include alcohol and drug use, high levels of adrenalin, extreme stress, panic, and anger. Peripheral vision loss due to these factors will clear up on its own with no treatment.
Diagnosis and Treatment
Eye care professionals diagnose peripheral vision loss by using a field of vision exam to test your range of vision. If peripheral vision loss is detected, the eye care professional will determine the specific cause by performing further medical testing, observation, and by looking at your medical records. Once an underlying cause is determined, an eye care professional will recommend the treatment options. Depending on the cause, this might include surgery, medication, or vision therapy.

The increasing acceptance of marijuana for medicinal and recreational purposes is sparking a rise in cannabis-related stock scams, according to the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority.
In an investor alert titled Marijuana Stock Scams, released Tuesday, FINRA warns investors that scammers are capitalizing on the popularity of marijuana now that 19 states and the District of Columbia allow it to be used for medicinal purposes and two states—Colorado and Washington—have legalized it for recreational use.
The con artists behind marijuana stock scams, the alert warns, try to entice investors with optimistic and potentially false and misleading information that in turn creates unwarranted demand for shares of small, thinly traded companies that often have little or no history of financial success. The scammers behind these "pump and dump" scams can then sell off their shares, leaving investors with worthless stock.
Like many investment scams, pitches for marijuana stocks may arrive in a variety of ways–from faxes to email or text message invitations, to webinars, infomercials, tweets or blog posts.
"Investors considering investing in a heavily touted, thinly traded company should question why a total stranger would tell them about a really great investment opportunity," said Gerri Walsh, FINRA's senior vice president for Investor Education, in a statement. "In reality, there is likely no true opportunity."
Investors, Walsh said, should always find out whether the promoter is licensed using FINRA BrokerCheck, and check out the investment using the Securities and Exchange Commission's EDGAR database of company filings.
