I just love all the colors in this spread. You can accent with any color. You also have ample covering to the floor.

Beautiful Colors. I have purchased 2 spreads from this company and they are both beautiful and well made plus looking nice and enhancing the look of the 2 bedrooms they are in. I would have preferred 3 standard sized shams instead of 2 king sized shams. I have not used them..... don't want to gp and buy pillows. The spread is great!!!!

It was a long search to find a quilted bedspread for a King size bed but Overstock.com came through. This is a beautiful and simple quilted bedspread. I wanted a bedspread quilt instead of an overstuffed comforter because I'm tired of dust ruffles and the batting (filling) in a quilt doesn't shift and bunch like it does in a comforter when it is washed. It is ample sized on my King bed and the King sized Pillow Shams fill the whole bed from side to side. It's heavier than I anticipated, but I expect it will last for years. Thanks, Overstock.com, for a speedy delivery.

Product shipped fast and arrival was speedy. Bed spreads (2) are of color listed on info sheet. Fabric pattern is very good. No flaws in manufacturing / production. Be careful not to allow dogs on spread. Big dog has created more than one snag in the spreads. Our fault! All else is good.

It was wrong color, more teal than blue. The size was short for a king bed.

I do like it, and have on my Q size bed, it is very generous in length and width.. I wish that more bed-spreads were made, tired of the bed skirt thing.

It is attractive spread and suitable for my room. The colors bring a lively quality to the bedroom during the day.I am quite pleased.

I was hesitant about ording this at first because I was concerned about the quality. I really wanted it because of the extra width! I am so happy with it. The colors are very true to what you see in the photos. I have a pillow top mattress and this bedspread hangs well over both sides, down to the bedrail! I love it. My only complaint is that this spread does not come with the optional extra pillows (it does come with 2 king sized shams) but there is a smaller king sized spread that comes with shams and 2 decorator pillows. I have asked Overstock if I could buy the extra pillows but haven't heard back yet. I do love the Bedspread it is a nice medium weight.
Fri Feb 08 00:00:00 MST 2013jasper03 Rating:5.0
We really like this bedspread. We were surprised at how warm it keeps us for how thin it is. It is nice that it is two sided for two different looks.

The colors are wonderful and so easy to match a number of colors. The room looks so much more cozy and welcoming since I have the new bedspread and the sheers that I ordered to go with it...

Love this bedspread so much it has spoiled me for any other bed spread. I came back for the throw to put at the foot of the bed. Looks beautiful. Then came back and bought two more throws to drape over my couches . I'm seriously thinking about purchasing another bedspread in case you discontinue it. I really do wish you would sell the fabric so I could make slip covers and not have to just drape the throws over my couches. By the way they don't just look beautiful, they are also great quality. Thank you for a great product.

This bed spread fits the king size bed perfectly. It hangs down to the floor just right and looks great on the bed. I am very happy with my purchase. The only thing that I could wish it was is just a little heavier material. Other than that it is beautiful.

I ordered this spread for my mother who was moving to an assisted living facility in Washington DC. She has very high standards as do I. I thought I would have to send it back. I was surprised at how great the quality was and how beautiful the spread was. I is very soft and I ordered the sage and the color is perfect. It was an amazing deal and a lovely item

This is a stunning set. Just beautiful! Colors are true to the picture. The quilt actually fits a queen bed. I have wood rails on the bed and the quilt hangs about 1/2 way over them. The fabric is thick, yet a soft, lightweight microfiblber. The quilt and shams are very well made and are quilted nvery tightly. The three accent pillos are of good quality and are embroidered. Stunning!

Q: I really enjoy your column. It is amazing how much money I have saved since I started using coupons! But I have a question. Are you allowed to use more than one coupon on any given item? I feel that if you have more than one coupon for an item you should be able to use them. Otherwise, where is the great savings that so many people talk about? I have heard of people having their entire grocery bill paid by the use of coupons."
A: Can you ever use more than one coupon on the same item? To answer this, you'll need to first determine what kind of coupon you're dealing with. Coupons fall into two major categories: manufacturer coupons, which are issued by the manufacturer of a product; and store coupons, which are issued by the store itself.
A manufacturer coupon will always have the wording at the top, "Manufacturer Coupon." As we discussed in last week's column, regardless of whether the coupon bears a store's name or logo, it if contains the words "manufacturer coupon" it's been issued by the manufacturer.
A store coupon typically looks different from a manufacturer coupon. The bar code is usually a different size or format than the one that appears on a manufacturer coupon. It also typically contains the words "Store Coupon."
Now that the difference is clear, here are the rules. Manufacturer coupons state "Limit One Per Purchase." This legal wording can be confusing, but what you need to remember is this: each item we buy is considered a purchase. Each trip through the checkout lane is considered a transaction. So, keeping in mind that each item is considered a purchase, the coupon limit statement becomes clear: "Limit one manufacturer coupon per item purchased."
You can always, only and forever use just one manufacturer coupon per item purchased. The register will not accept more than one manufacturer coupon for the same item and the legal terms of the coupon itself prohibit it. If I have two $1 manufacturer coupons for a bottle of juice I cannot use them both on the same bottle of juice. The coupons are limited to one coupon per item purchased. I would need to buy two bottles to use both $1 coupons.
You may think that just because you have two manufacturer coupons for the same item that you should be able to use them together, but this is never the case. The register will not allow it and neither will the store. When a store redeems those coupons with the manufacturer, the manufacturer can audit the store and ask for proof that it sold as many items as it submitted coupons for. If the store cannot provide proof and if, in fact, it violated the terms of the coupon and accepted more than one manufacturer coupon for the same item, the manufacturer can refuse reimbursement.
Store coupons are completely different. These typically can be stacked with a manufacturer coupon and used on the same item. Store coupons function as sale price reductions for the store.
If I have a 75-cent store coupon for juice and a $1 manufacturer coupon for the same brand and size of juice, I can use these together. Coupon shoppers call this "stacking." If I stack the 75-cent store coupon for the juice with the $1 manufacturer coupon, I save $1.75 on a single bottle of juice, an excellent discount.
You asked where the "great savings" are if shoppers can't use more than one manufacturer coupon on the same item. Great savings comes by combining high-value coupon discounts with low sale prices on a week-by-week basis.

posi quiet ceramic brake pads
Reviewed By Victor F (MILWAUKEE, WI) Reviewed for a 2002 Hyundai Accent —9/15/2014 3:19 PM
these pads are a really good value. went right on and performed well. I did couple them with centric premium rotors and the stop like never before. Grabs nicely and firmly with no squirming, squeaking, or shaking. I use this car for deliveries and put anywhere from 100 to 300+ miles a day. I am quite pleased so far.
THE best pads for your Nissan Titan
Reviewed By Daniel P (Clovis, NM) Reviewed for a 2008 Nissan Titan —9/15/2014 8:17 AM
These pads are the most highly recommended on several Nissan Titan forums. I am prepping my truck to do lots of towing a loaded car hauler so a brake upgrade from OE was a must. Fit, function & operation of these pads is flawless. The only issue I had was the pre-installed shim on the back. There are no instructions with these pads and it left some trial & error whether or not the factory shims should be used with these. I ended up installing the OE outside shims with these and after a day or 2 of driving the pads settled in and all is well. I did have them drag with minimal resistance in the beginning but I chalk that up to the additional shim that I added to each pad. The grease monkey grease that is included with the pads is terrific. I applied it to the back of the pads, between the shims, on the caliper sliders and to the caliper bolts. After 2 weeks none of the grease has thimmed from the heat or slung off inside my rim. Also, NO SQUEALING. I did have my rotors turned prior to this install. I recommend these brakes to all.

First of all that you autoanything.com for prompt delivery. Now for the pads - they are much better than 5 he Hawk super duty pads; EBC has a good initial bite, as the pad heats up during breaking the rate of deceleration increases. Only problem is that due to being in the middle eat the ambient air temp is high due to which the pads tend to smell.

drafted by coalition of planning and health professionals advocates for
healthy, sustainable food systems
Washington, D.C. - Efforts
to improve the health and sustainability of the food system—from the local to
global levels—was bolstered today with the release of the Principles of a
Healthy, Sustainable Food System, linked here.
principles were written by a new coalition bringing together the American
Planning Association (APA), the American Dietetic Association (ADA), American
Nurses Association (ANA) and the American Public Health Association (APHA). For
the first time, national leaders in the nursing, nutrition, planning, and
public health professions worked collaboratively to create a shared platform
for systems-wide food policy change.
principles establish a foundation for the coalition as we move forward
advocating for improved food policies across all levels of the government,"
said Kimberley Hodgson, MURP, MS,
RD, manager of the American Planning Association's Planning & Community Health
Research Center.
"Planners play an important role in removing barriers and developing plans and
policies that support local food production in urban and rural areas, reduce
food related pollution and waste, and improve access to healthy food."
by coalition members, the principles were written to support socially,
economically and ecologically sustainable food systems that promote health –
the current and future health of individuals, communities and the natural
"The food
we eat and how we grow, produce, market and distribute it have enormous
implications for the public's health," said Georges
Benjamin, MD, FACP, FACEP (E), executive director of the
American Public Health Association. "A healthier, more sustainable approach to
our food system would not only ensure better health outcomes, but would reduce
our growing chronic disease burden, minimize the impact on the environment and
workers, and more equitably distribute nutritious foods to all communities
across the nation."
principles define a healthy, sustainable food system around the key themes of
health, sustainability, resilience, fairness, economics and transparency.
believes these principles demonstrate a clear vision of what 'health food'
should be," added ANA President
Karen A. Daley, PhD, MPH, RN, FAAN. "As
health professionals, nurses have a responsibility to promote the health and
safety of all people. That is why ANA supports and advocates for an improved
food safety regulatory system, sustainable food practices, elimination of food
contaminants, better food labeling and fair labor practices; all of which these
principles espouse."
has a fundamental right to the best quality of health care available, and this
right includes access to healthy food from a sustainable food supply," said
registered dietitian and American Dietetic Association President
Judith C. Rodriguez, PhD, RD, FADA, LDN. "Through ADA's
official position papers and through the daily work of our members, ADA strongly encourages
environmentally responsible practices that conserve natural resources, minimize
the quantity of waste and support the ecological sustainability of the food
among the coalition organizations will enable greater communication and
coordination between the nutrition, nursing, public health and planning
professions, from the local to national levels.
coalition plans to build upon the principles by continuing to advocate for
improved food systems. Efforts are underway to coordinate with other health,
nutrition and planning related organizations and to connect the food system
interest groups of each organization.
Founded in 1872, the APHA is the oldest, largest and most diverse organization of public health professionals in the world. The association aims to protect all Americans and their communities from preventable, serious health threats and strives to assure community-based health promotion and disease prevention activities and preventive health services are universally accessible in the United States. APHA represents a broad array of health providers, educators, environmentalists, policy-makers and health officials at all levels working both within and outside governmental organizations and educational institutions.

Highlight of the match: Ravi Bopara 5 runs off 17
Aye. Mahmudullah showing Sad Sack how to be a batting all-rounder.
Bowled well though it seems. Ashraful scoring runs is itstl.
Owais Shah is probably one of the only few international players doing well
Chittagong showing lots of faith in Bopara, batting him at 7.

Update: This story was updated at 8:20 a.m. Monday to include additional comments from Reid Edles.
Reid Edles, president of the Westfield Volunteer Rescue Squad, said the injuries sustained in Sunday evening's motor vehicle accident were not life-threatening.

After she stopped to attempt to lead him to the other side of the intersection, the pair was struck by two vehicles driven by

Hi there, welcome to my world. Want to know me better? Just take a look at my diverse range of ebooks and dive into the world of Mikey Lee Ray. Some of my ebooks have already been downloaded thousands of times, that's a good start.
I'm always working on new projects, for example recently Richard Batchelor (author of "the Temp Pest") and I began to release the magazine LSD. As the title suggests it's highly experimental. In the long run we'll see if it's successful.
My newest ebook is called "How to Lose Money and Irritate People" and it's doing rather nicely so far. My first parody series in conjunction with other writers titled "Cherry Popper and the Pimpmaster's Stone" is currently being held up by the lawyers but when things get resolved I hope to publish it ASAP.

Panther volleyball breaks even in 3A duals
Panthers let leads slip away during frustrating weekend
What could have been? This is what many players of the Powell High School volleyball team asked themselves following their final match at the 3A conference duals in Cody this weekend.
Despite ending on a positive note — a 3-0 defeat of Mountain View — the Panthers felt their results didn't match their potential.
PHS volleyball 'Dents' Cody
Panther volleyball Team gets season sweep of Fillies
The Powell High School volleyball team finished regular season division play on a strong but uncertain note.
The Panthers beat Cody at home in four sets, 25-22, 22-25, 25-23, 25-19.
PHS volleyball overcomes slow start
The Powell High School volleyball team's 3-1 victory over 2A Shoshoni Monday night was not as easy as the stat sheet might indicate.
The Lady Blue (3-0, 14-2) stunned Powell out of the gate by taking the first set 25-16. The Panthers looked sloppy as Shoshoni cruised to an opening set victory.
Sweet success for Panthers swim team
For the second time in 11 days the Powell High School swim team beat Cody High School, and for the first time in three years, diver Hannah Sweet qualified for state.
CULTURE SHOCK: Hitting children — still not OK!
How is this an issue in 2012 America?
I read a news story this weekend that made me sick, which is no easy feat in the 24-hour murder/rape/war news cycle we live in.
The headline read: Taylor Santos, Texas High School Student, Left 'Burned And Blistered' After Male Vice Principal Spanked Her.
A bear of a project
PHS students take on taxidermy challenge
Art students at Powell High School could smell a rare opportunity as they walked in to school Tuesday morning.
The male grizzly bear euthanized on the east side of Heart Mountain Sept. 7 was waiting for them in James Gilman's classroom at the back of the school.
Blue Ribbon for Pride
Parkside recognized by U.S. Department of Education
Parkside Elementary has been recognized as a 2012 National Blue Ribbon School by the U.S. Department of Education, one of only three schools in the state to earn the honor.
CULTURE SHOCK: I just can't do it — captain
The high school athletics season is underway, and for me, that means my first taste of professional sports coverage.
Not that I'm covering professional sports, but I'm covering sports as a professional. Baby steps.
High school corks cannon
The cannon that fired following touchdowns by the Powell High School Panthers has been sidelined for the foreseeable future.
Girls' swim team shines at home
The crowd roared and the water was turbulent at the Powell Aquatic Center on Saturday, as the hometown Panthers were cheered to a third place finish at the Gene Dozah Invitational.
Jackson Hole took first with 320 points, followed by Lander-233, Powell-228, Buffalo-163, Cody-157, Riverton-109 and Worland-90.

ENGLISH 151: Reading and Composition (1B)
Thank you for your interest in Online English 151! Before our adventure in online learning begins on June 18, 2012, I want to apprise you of a few details about your instructor and this course. The detailed information below is intended to be honest and helpful, but not to scare you. So here is what you need to know, and thanks in advance for the time you will take to read what follows.
Access Requirements: No mandatory campus visits are required to take this course. The course, however, is not a self-paced course but an online community of learners working through a 6-week accelerated summer session. It unfolds week-by-week with the whole class participating in weekly exercises and discussions together. If you are seeking an independent studies course, know in advance that this is not one. You do have to log on at least 4 different days a week to work in the course, but you can pick whichever days and times suit you. A new week of course content with assignments is released each Monday for you to work on during the week.
Students should always access the class web site in Moodle via MyCOM. For information about getting a MyCOM account, read the FAQ's on the MyCOM Portal login page. #6 on the Portal login page explains how to get to Moodle.
First Day of Class Instructions: All enrolled students are required to login to the class Moodle website between 6 pm Monday, June 18 and 6 pm Tuesday, June 19 to hold their spot in the class. If a registered student does not login to the class site during this 24-hour period, his or her spot may be given to a student on the waitlist. (The waitlist is long and there is a shortage of class spots to meet the demand; so know that I will honor the waitlist if you do not confirm your spot and begin the course as required.)
Waitlist & Add Codes: If you are on the waitlist or attempting to add the course, email the instructor, Alisa Klinger, as soon as possible to indicate your desire to take the course and to receive course start up information. Please include your name, the section number of the class you wish to add, and your COM Student ID (if you have one) in your email. I do honor the official waitlist, adding students in the order they appear on the waitlist.
Course Materials
-Sheila Cooper and Rosemary Patton, Writing Logically, Thinking Critically, Seventh Edition (Pearson Longman) ISBN 978-0-205-11912-7. (Be sure to get the 7th edition; please do not purchase the 6th, since it does not contain all the material we will need for this course and for the Midterm Exam.)
-Diana Hacker, A Writer's Reference for Online Learners, 7E, Seventh Edition, (Bedford/St. Martin's) ISBN 9780312551995 (Please use a writer's reference with the new MLA 2009-2010 updates, if you do not choose to use the text I recommend. Don't spend your money on older editions, as they are out-of-date and you will not be able to participate in buy-backs.)
Book Purchases: Students may purchase their books online by visiting COM's online bookstore, or students may buy the books at the COM campus. Please purchase the editions listed, since content and pagination in old editions of texts do not match with course assignments. This is not a course where you can get by without reading the assigned texts because the quizzes and assignments are based on specific text passages.
What To Do When You First Access The Course Online: Be advised that Moodle works best with Firefox. Not all features function with Safari for Mac users. If you run into any technical problems, check your browser using the helpful information at the following link: http://ilearn.csumb.edu/BrowserTestFiles/index.php
Take some time to familiarize yourself with these 2 helpful Moodle FAQs for students and bookmark them for future reference:
Finally, there is an important note that you should read and heed at the top right of your Moodle home screen: "Closing this browser does not end your session. In order to end a session you must click on Logout (top right side of browser window). If you do not log out, your session will remain active. The next person to use this computer will have full access to your account." Make yourself a sticky note to remind yourself to log out!
I hope this email answers your preliminary questions. If you have others, please email me. I love my job and I love critical thinking. Know that I look forward to working with you in Online English 151, hoping to make you feel positive about your work and excited about critical thinking too.
I look forward to our adventure in online learning!
Cheers, Ali

The Adult Re-Entry Program was formed to make the transition into college life a little easier for the nontraditional student, or adult learner. The purpose of the program is to provide guidance and support as the nontraditional student navigates the many challenges of college life. The Adult Re-Entry program is a valuable resource and enables students the opportunity to connect with campus and community resources. We also bring students together to provide peer support for a positive academic experience.
Statistics from the Census Bureau and the U.S. Department of Education show that nontraditional students are the fastest growing educational demographic. Although there is not a precise definition, the nontraditional student or adult learner is commonly considered a student who may have one or more of the following characteristics: 25 years of age or older, financially independent, delayed or interrupted college enrollment, has dependents, family and work obligations, including transfer, veteran, and international students.
Your education is an investment in yourself and you can take an enormous amount of pride in what you are about to accomplish. Your decision to seize the opportunity to gain knowledge displays motivation and dedication. We are excited to provide information on campus and community resources, guidance and support, referrals, and student advocacy. We deeply value your perspective to our academic community and welcome you to our campus!

The final regular season episode of The Ultimate Fighter 16 is in the books and the TV ratings are in.
Episode 12 of TUF 16 pulled in average of 678,000 viewers for the semifinal bouts, setting up the final between Team Carwin's Mike Ricci and Team Nelson's Colton Smith.
The ratings ended on somewhat of a sour note for a season that struggled mightily in that department. The TUF 16 average was 829,250 viewers per episode, so even that less than stellar number was better than Friday's 678,000 viewers.
The ratings are sure to be better for this weekend's TUF 16 Finale, as the UFC's live events always pull in much stronger TV ratings than the reality series.
The TUF 16 Finale takes place Saturday night at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas.
Stay tuned to MMAWeekly.com for all the latest TUF 16 news and fight coverage.
Is it just me, or is Colton Smith the most boring fighter in the history of TUF?
Totally agree with you bro. Though he atleast got me to dislike him enough to boo him with how he got into the house. Touch gloves, immediate ducking under for takedown. Not illegal, but definitely not sporting. Is cheering for the Canadian over the American soldier make me a bad American citizen?
I don't think it makes you a bad citizen, I think it makes you a real fan of MMA. This is an international sport, and I personally want to see dynamic, well rounded, exciting fights…period. Colton has shown us nothing even close to that. Doesn't matter if we are from the US or Canada, anybody who has watched this season of TUF knows that RIcci deserves that contract and will put on better fights in the UFC than Colton…there is simply no way to argue that. Plus I wanna see more of those Mike RIcci elbows…that KO was sick!
Hmmm I kind of agree with you. I'm not a big fan of the continuously-chasing-a-takedown style but I think at least he tries to do something once he has his opponent down. The problem is that he's great at pressuring for the takedown but not particularly good at doing anything once he's got it. Hence why his opponent often gets up and then we start the whole process again. His previous fights in the house showed his stand-up is dodgy, ricci should just blitz him from the start and I think he'll win comfortably.
Yeah, I agree Colton tries hard, but like you said, he's just not particularly good at doing anything with it once he has someone down. He is good at controlling against the fence, but look what happened to LeVesseur when he tried doing that to Trujillo on the Fox card. Ricci knows exactly what to expect from Smith and I'm sure has been training to counter his pressure and get back to striking distance, where he will pick him apart. And Ricci is a natural 55er…should make an interesting addition to the LW division, even if Colton somehow manages to pull a bunny from his hat this weekend.
At least ricci seems like an intelligent guy so he should be able to out-think the relentless takedown tactic. Plus you saw how Manly nearly got a kimura twice in the semi fight, I'm sure ricci and his trainers noticed too.
Not a great season of TUF overall though, I think that's reflected in how few of them, if any, have got a fight at the finale. Usually at least six of the cast get a fight. The UK vs Australia series has had some great fights in comparison, I'll admit most of the cast on that one would get schooled in the US version but they've put on some great fights.

Once you've been diagnosed with a chronic illness, such as asthma, heart disease or diabetes, one of the best things you can do to help keep your condition under control is work closely with your health care provider.
That means regular appointments, of course. But between office visits, symptoms may flare or new ones may crop up. How do you know if you're experiencing "just the usual," or if a headache, chest pain or shortness of breath is worthy of an immediate call to the doctor?
"When in doubt, call—most physicians would rather hear from you sooner than later," says Stephen J. Spann, M.D., professor and chairman of the department of family and community medicine at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston. "People sometimes ignore mild symptoms and wait until they become bothersome before consulting a doctor, but anyone with a chronic illness should be under the ongoing care of a physician."
Dr. Spann offers the following guidelines for when to call the doctor and when to self-treat.
If you have diabetes, "rising blood sugar certainly is a reason to call the doctor," says Dr. Spann. "Patients with diabetes also have a high risk of heart disease and strokes. For this reason, they should get immediate emergency care for any symptoms of heart attack or stroke such as chest pain, sudden onset of weakness or paralysis and a loss of ability to speak."
Call the doctor if you have symptoms, such as:
Increased thirst, urination or weight loss
High or low blood sugar that doesn't respond even though you're adhering to prescribed treatments
A change in vision
You have an acute illness such as respiratory or intestinal flu
Get immediate care for symptoms such as:
Indications of very low blood sugar (hypoglycemia), including confusion, weakness, paleness, sweating, and rapid heart rate; or in severe cases, seizures or coma
A sweet, fruity odor on the breath, slowing or speeding up of breathing and a very sleepy feeling (symptoms of ketoacidosis)
Vomiting or diarrhea for more than six hours
Tingling, numbness or burning pain in hands or feet
Chest pain, sudden onset of weakness or paralysis and a loss of ability to speak
Problems that worsen despite your following your doctor's advice, which may indicate long-term complications of diabetes; for example, dizziness or weakness when you suddenly sit or stand up; a wound that appears infected or doesn't heal; or vision problems, such as seeing flashing lights or large floating areas or spots
As long as a person with asthma follows an asthma action plan based on peak flow readings the condition is rarely fatal.
"Minor shortness of breath can be treated at home or in the doctor's office. If it's major, seek emergency care," says Dr. Spann.
If you have asthma, it's important that you know what your typical symptoms are. Mild cases of asthma may include only some wheezing; more severe cases can rapidly progress from minor shortness of breath to a life-threatening situation.
Call the doctor if you have symptoms such as:
Trouble breathing, even after you've taken the medications according to your asthma action plan; or you have shortness of breath combined with tightness in the chest and wheezing
Persistent, dry hacking cough
Yellow, green, gray or bloody sputum, or thick sputum that you can't cough up
Itching, swelling, rash or difficulty breathing, which may be caused by a reaction to your medication
Get immediate care for symptoms such as:
Sweating and severe difficulty breathing, which may be combined with pale or blue lips and fast heart rate and anxiety; call 911
"Ideally, people with hypertension will be self-monitoring their blood pressure," says Dr. Spann.
Call the doctor if you have the following symptoms and they are new, or, if you have had them before and they become worse:
Higher than usual blood pressure for three separate blood pressure measurements taken at different times
Dizziness that doesn't go away or persistent dizziness when you get up from sitting or lying down
Shortness of breath that occurs when you exercise or when you're lying down on your back
Tiredness, weakness
Irregular or rapid heartbeat or pulse
Coughing or wheezing, particularly at night
Weight gain from fluid retention
Difficulty concentrating
Sleeping problems
Get immediate care for symptoms such as:
Blood pressure of 180/110 mm Hg or higher
Fainting (generally associated with low blood pressure, or hypotension) or seizure (generally associated with extremely high blood pressure)
Chest pain that doesn't go away with rest or medication
Increasing blood pressure combined with headache, sleepiness, confusion, visual difficulties, numbness and tingling in the hands and feet, coughing blood, nosebleeds or trouble breathing; these are signs of a hypertensive emergency (malignant hypertension)
These organizations can provide answers to specific questions about living with chronic illness.

80226 Brahms & Schumann Cello Music played by Clive Greensmith
Brahms and Schumann, Biddulph # 80226-2
One might call this recording 'historically inspired' which is of course a very loose term but nonetheless accurate as the piano, a Bechstein baby grand from 1865 is of the exact same period as Brahms's first cello sonata in e minor. We know from the detailed correspondence that survives from Brahms active concert career that he used many different types of instrument ranging from the early Romantic fortepianos of Beethoven and Schubert to the more powerful and 'songful' instruments developed by makers such as Baumgardten & Heinz, Erard, Streicher, Bechstein and Steinway - those responsible for the tremendous advances in piano technology that came about in the 1850's and 60's. An interesting discovery was that Brahms seems to have admired the smaller grand pianos and was not enamored by the Viennese concert grands. For my Stradivarius cello I opted to use four gut strings, not out of slavish devotion to historical accuracy but because of their more plangent, speaking quality that seemed to blend more successfully with the beautiful mellow voice of the Bechstein. Because the sound of this piano is less massive than those of today, the dynamic balance between both instruments is enhanced, freeing the cellist from his or her usual preoccupation with having to project at all costs. Directly related to this is the challenge of trying to preserve Brahms's original phrase and slur markings, so often a matter of compromise today with string players opting for 'convenience bowings, that give more sound with less effort. I read that old orchestral parts belonging to the Vienna and Berlin Philharmonics indicate that many more notes used to be played in one bow than is customary today. With such an emphasis on the slow pulling of the bow, and less reliance on the left hand for expression and nuance, I began to find that this concept fitted perfectly with the tonal characteristics of the Bechstein piano. At higher dynamic levels, for example in the scherzo of Brahms's f major sonata, the piano's sound is unusually bright and clear with a far quicker decay than is to be found on contemporary instruments. The resultant effect is, to my ear, more demonic and colorful. Another very important factor that cannot be forgotten is how liberating an experience this is for the pianist who can play with maximum force and energy, never holding back for the sake of the poor cellist!
The seemingly inexorable tidal flow of early music practice (or historically informed performance) has reached as far as the early twentieth century with reappraisals of every major composer along the way. The impact of 'historical music making' has been immense with period conductors now regularly working with mainstream orchestras and a host of players now experimenting with original instruments with great stylistic flexibility. There was a time when one was either on one side of the fence or the other. Now, I have a sense that the mistrust that perhaps once existed has been replaced by a genuine earnestness to use the huge range of options in interpretation available to us in more truly authentic ways, based on appropriate attitudes of mind and not just a strict adherence to any given set of rules. This is surely good for music and for these cherished masterworks which, in my opinion, have been too often taken for granted.
-Clive Greensmith

A naturalist training course begins January 9 and 14, 2012 in the Horine Center at Jefferson Memorial Forest. During this 15-week training program, volunteers will learn how to lead fun, hands-on field trips, experience the values and benefits of natural areas, discover basic ecology and make connections between species and landscapes.
Volunteers have the option to attend classes on Monday or Saturday mornings at 9:00 AM till approximately noon. The program fee is $35, which includes training materials and a shirt. Those who complete the naturalist training program help aid Metro Parks' education staff with school field trips and public programs by leading hikes, teaching nature classes and assisting with classes taught by staff.
"It's an extremely rewarding opportunity," said Sherry Wright, Jefferson Memorial Forest Volunteer Coordinator. "Our volunteer naturalist training program is a remarkable experience to teach, learn and love nature!"
Due to the extensive training involved for this group, volunteers have a 36 hour minimum annual volunteer time requirement. After initial training, the volunteer checks the schedule of programs and signs up to assist based on their availability. Weekend volunteers work primarily on Saturdays, with some evenings.
Volunteers are subject to site manager approval, must complete a full application and submit to a state record check.
