(Sing to the tune of "Green Acres" — the Eva Gabor part.)
New York is where I'd rather stay.
I dread allergic smelling hay.
I just adore a penthouse view.
Dah-ling I love you but give me Park Avenue!
Anyone who has ever read this blog knows that I am not the outdoorsy type. I am 37-years-old and have never, ever, not once been camping. And neither has my husband!
This weekend our family will be CAMPING for the first time thanks to the Cub Scouts. (Walshie did join Cub Scouts. See earlier entry on that decision.)
I am very excited about sharing the experience with Walsh, but I am also pretty certain we're going to do things wrong, bring the wrong stuff and just generally be way out of our comfort zone. (And as you know from the football game discussion if it rains, I am out of there!)
We are lucky the Cub Scouts are making it an easy first trip. We will only be at Stone Mountain and our tent (borrowed from my friend Sheridan –thank you) will be located near the bathroom. (Hooray for indoor plumbing!) We will be sleeping in tents, but they will provide dinner. (Hooray for provided dinner.)
We will be hiking but I'm a good walker and in decent shape so I'm not too worried about that. I am extremely worried about getting the tent up and staying warm and dry during the night. (I am mildly worried about rapists and wild animals but those fears are probably unfounded.)
We had planned to take Rose and leave the baby with my mom and dad. But since Rose was out sick with bronchitis three days this week I am thinking she shouldn't be exposed to cold , damp air and campfire smoke. (Michael thinks I'm crazy but I know cold air and smoke can set off lung issues and the poor child coughed constantly for five days!)
Michael is fairly certain I will bolt as soon as it gets dark and temperature drops at all. Despite his doubts, I am committed to stay as long as it doesn't rain on me!
Here are my questions:
How long could it possibly take us to put up our tent? Is an hour and a half enough time? Two hours?
Is Walsh's Pottery Barn Batman sleeping bag not going to be warm enough?
What if we snuggle him between us?
Do we need to bring a gallon jug of water?
Do we need to bring a cooler?
Where do we keep our snacks (they said not in the tent and in what?)
Give me some basic dos and don't for the night! Nothing is too elementary!

My family did a LOT of camping when I was growing up. I miss those days when you could run around like a maniac at a campground and just be a kid.
Putting up a tent: depends on what type of tent! Make sure you have the directions for it. Some Scout leaders are pretty good about knowing how to put up different tents, so find one and make them your friend.
Sleeping bag: different sleeping bags have different ratings for cold weather. Need to find out what yours is rated for. Tonight, in my area, there's a chance of thunderstorms and pretty chilly. I'm thinking I wish I could be in a tent. We were seasonal campers – all summer long – and I couldn't take the camper anymore, so I bought myself a tent. I was a teenager, and that was the bestest thing ever. Rainstorms were very cool… Some sleeping bags you can zipper together so all of you in one big bag could work!
Couldn't hurt to bring water. Depends on how far you have to hike in and how much you can carry. The scout camp I used to go to (and now that I own my own home, my property abutts the scout camp! – how wierd is that?) we had to hike in pretty far so carrying stuff was something to consider.
Same goes for the cooler. If they are providing food, what would you bring?
Snacks/food is generally kept off the ground and hung from a tree – at least that is what we used to be told. Not sure of the 'ground' rules on that currently.
Basic dos/don'ts? Have fun! There is usually activities planned – again from my past experience so don't sweat it to much…
October 23rd, 2009

I don't do much camping, but as someone with asthma who gets bronchitis a couple of times per year, I don't think you're crazy to leave Rose home. It's so easy for it to flare back up again after you think you're over it. I'd wait for a full week of feeling really well before trying camping, especially if pollen counts are up (how are weeds and molds down in Atlanta now?).
October 23rd, 2009
9:52 am
You are actually going on your son's first campout with the Boy Scouts? See yesterday's topic.
October 23rd, 2009

You need to know how to set the tent up before you go. Some will pretty much "pop up", for others you may need to pound in stakes, so a hammer should be packed. Have your friend clarify what's involved. Air mattresses will be your friend, and keep you warmer too. It isn't supposed to be too cold this weekend, so the Batman sleeping bag should be ok, but bring a quilt to layer over it.
Didn't the scouts give you a list of things to pack? That was always our experience. I would pack a cooler with water. You can always stick snacks in there too, in zip lock bags. A couple of strong bungee cords should keep to raccoons out.
October 23rd, 2009

Camping at Stone Mountain is quite fun. We do so at least twice per year. Camping there is like being in a little community. I like camping because people are a lot more human and look at for each other.
Tents can take anywhere from 10 minutes to an hour if you don't know what you are doing (or even longer if you don't have the directions and have no idea what you are doing).
Bring a tarp to put UNDER your tent before you pitch it. It is going to rain this weekend. You don't tent on wet ground. If you don't have rain cover for your tent use a tarp. It's worth the hassle.
Keep your snacks in a cooler. There are no bears in Stone Mountain so you don't have to do the extra prep if you were rustic camping.
You can bring water but you did not state if you are staying in the rustic camping part (no water or electricity) or the sites with water and electricity. That makes a huge difference. We stay in areas with water and electricity. We have older christmas lights that we hang on our sitting room tent. It is so much easier than having to bring a bunch of battery powered lights.
I would get those gel lights that you break and tie to your tent(I forget the name) so that if you have to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night that you can easily spot your tent.
Only bring what you will need. Don't try to bring your whole house. I always laugh at the families who bring 42 inch TV and hook them up so they can watch TV while camping. It is not necessary. However, I would bring a few board games – scrabble, monoply, etc. so you can have more organized fun.
The sleeping bag should be fine. Just make sure he had sweatpants/shirt to sleep in as well. I have camped outside when it was 30 degrees outside. In the tent is was relatively warm (people create heat).
I am taking bets (this is all in fun). Theresa, I bet you will be back home by 7 p.m. tonight. Any takers?
October 23rd, 2009
9:58 am
Ohh, bring string (sturdy). You will need to tie your garbage up in a tree. The garbage folks come through quite reqularly but you will need to store it properly.
October 23rd, 2009
9:59 am
Hope you have fun..Can't offer any help as my husbands way of camping is the nearest Holiday Inn..
October 23rd, 2009
9:59 am
OK, I understand with the way the world is many things have had to change. However, my opinion (and mine only) is that your husband should go. This would be a great bonding experience for the two of them.
October 23rd, 2009
10:03 am
@Theresa – I would have given you to midnight if I had not read the weather report. I know you don't do rain. It will rain tonight. LOL
October 23rd, 2009
10:07 am
BTW – I love tent camping. We use to grab a spot at Lanier at the beginning of every summer and someone was there all the time.
Don't forget tissues and toilet paper (JIK).
October 23rd, 2009
10:10 am
Theresa, I would check to see what the cold rating is on the sleeping bag. You might as well invest in a warmer one though. From my understanding the scouts camp a alot, and in all temperatures! (My S-I-L and her family have been in the snow!)
I would clarify "what" the leaders are brining. I would keep my own carry-ins down to the minimum. Raccoons will likely be your biggest predators though! :o)
Bring a pair of slip on shoes for the night just in case you need to make a bathroom trip. It sure beats putting on socks and shoes!
Even if it does rain, I think the experience of spending it together in the tent(s) would be fun…as long as it doesn't last all night!
You are right not to bring Rose. If it were me, I wouldn't bring my child who was recovering from bronchitis. It is not worth the risk of making it worse again!
Relax and have fun! This is not like the football stadium with thousands of people packed in! Dress in your comfy clothes and be prepared to have a good time!

I have heard that the Pontiac Aztek comes equipped with a tent that is neatly installed on the back of the vehicle. This is the best way to camp as far as I am concerned, and being an Ex Military survival expert I have been camping in every wilderness enviroment on the planet.
October 23rd, 2009

My advice for camping is to stay at a cheap motel with B&W TV and no room service. I hate camping, I have done it before and have never been so miserable. I am sure you guys will have fun, but I would leave this one to the boys ;o)!
I know I will be blasted for this, but I am trying to be humorous….to some extent ;o)!
October 23rd, 2009

I am with New Stepmom…. Roughing it is a cheap motel… :-) …. Never been camping and really don't want to… But thats just me… Have fun this weekend!
October 23rd, 2009
10:20 am
Uconn…glad you are with me. My husband and stepdaughter went father daughter Girl Scout Camping in September. They hated it and expected to have a ball. It was so nice to take a hot shower and get in my bed while they were in their tents in the rain….
October 23rd, 2009
10:25 am
New Stepmom, now that I am nearing 60, a cheap motel would be a lot more fun for me.
October 23rd, 2009
10:26 am
Theresa you worry too much. Try relaxing and enjoying yourself. You are not in control this weekend. Let the kids have a good time, and stop worrying……Enjoy yourself.
You need to let go.

I grew up in a family that started out in a Starcraft pop up and graduated to a pull trailer ( I think 24 feet) with a bathroom and shower. We went all the way to California from Chicago and spent many weekends at the lake. I have nevr camped in a tent but my kids have dones so.
My SAHM spent days getting everything ready and packing all the food/supplies we needed. Our station wagon was always about to POP.
NO WAY am I going to work that hard to GO on vacation. Also, I need running water…even if it is a cold shower…that would work in a pinch.
When I was in Alaska, last week…I was told of dry cabins. These are cabins folks have with no water and obviously out houses. They stay out there 3-7 days with NO shower. You have got to be kidding me!
I know it is cold but I must have a shower.
My husband's family all are campers and my own sister and her husband stay out for days in their trailer…not for me!
My son went camping with his Dad and my husband's family on lake Texoma when he was little. It poured down rain the entire night. He was about
8 or 10 and HE HATED IT. I know some families love it but mine will have to go without me. Kind of like riding roller coasters…not happening for me but I can still handle the tilt 'o whirl or scrambler…hahaha!
Have fun and keep us posted!
October 23rd, 2009
10:35 am
I'm not big on roughing it so don't really have much advice but I think if you can get past the rain issue, you will have a lot of fun. I can't wait until my son is old enough to do this kind of thing…I would even get out of my (hotel)comfort level to try something like this!!!
October 23rd, 2009

Wather forcast (source: Weather Channel) Stone Mtn, GA: High of 73 today. Cloudy with rain and possible thunderstorms this afternoon. Tonight: Rain early becoming intermitten overnight. Low 57. Tomorrow High of 62. Winds today and tomorrow 10 – 20 MPH. Sunset 6:53 PM.
Theresa you are so out of there. You will do the family stuff than go sleep in the hotels on property right? ;)

My first and only camping experience was with the cub scouts. It was one of those "glad I did it" experiences but its just not for me. Does your friend who loaned you the tent have a sleeping bag that she can loan Walsh? ( Do you actually call him Walhsie? See yesterdays topic) Batman might not be cool in cub scouts.
Try to have fun…it might be the only time that you have to to this.
October 23rd, 2009
11:56 am
Let's chip in for a ticket and hotel in Montanna for MJG. Personally I am tired of hearing that she has been in every state except for Montanna. Then she can say she has been in all the states!
And that mile long comment after the shout of I do not camp? Histerical!
October 23rd, 2009
12:22 pm
@ thought….please get the spelling correct before you buy the ticket:
MONTANA with one N. Maybe you might like to get together with Vork who said he would be happy to pay me to shut up….I am waiting to see the money….NADA. He also mentioned that others might be happy to do this too but so far no one has stepped up to the plate.
I will wait to see how quickly you can get everyone to chip in for a ticket and put your money where your mouth is. BTW I fly Delta and I am booked with clients until June.
Glad you find me HYSTERICAL
What exactly did you contribute about the topic at hand….camping?
At least, I made a few contributions about it. Maybe some of the other bloogers may like to hear something from YOU about the topic and not just to rail on me. Maybe not.
I tried to validate why I do not camp. We ( who are) authors and public speakers tend to give illustrations on our opinions. I am not the only one here today who does not like camping and I know there are thousands who LOVE IT.
Have a nice day all…the leaves are gorgeous here in St. Louis.
October 23rd, 2009
12:25 pm
oops…bloggers and not bloogers…althought some do remind me of BOOGERS….they are stuck here and no matter what, we cannot get rid of them….perhaps some feel that way about me too!

Hi Theresa,
You're in for a great treat I've been camping my whole life and I even run a website devoted to it called Grillopia.com. As for you questions:
1. It depends on the tent, look at the directions before hand but it shouldn't take long. But make sure this is one of the fist things you do when you arrive, and try to get there early. You don't want to be figuring out how to do this in the dark.
2. I checked your sleeping bag on pottery barns web-site and they say that it's cotton inside and out, and it has a Velcro instead of a zipper. It seems more like a sleepover bag than a camping bag. It depending on the climate you're camping in, but cotton is not the best way to go for warmth, if your kids sweat it will hold that in and could make them colder. Plus a zipper holds in warmth better than Velcro.
3. Snuggle away
4. It sounds like the campsite your going to has water, but you don't know how clean it's going to be. It's always good to bring your own water.
5. If you're going to grill you need 2 coolers, one for food one for drinks. People especially kids are always closing and opening coolers to get drinks, and that is not good for perishable food especially meat that should stay in a cooler that is not being opened and closed.
6. Snack like power or cereal bars can be kept in the tent as long as there not open. Open wrappers will attract bugs. Fresher snacks like fruit can be kept in a plastic bag in the cooler. And depending on how far you are from your car you can keep snacks your sure won't melt in the car.
7. Let me think`; don't bring your shoes into the tent. You might want bring an extra towel to lie at the foot of your tent so you can put the shoes there. It sounds like this is not a campsite that will have anything crawl in your shoes. I'm not saying that to scar you, it just that I have camped in the desert before, and you need to check your shoes there.
I hope that was helpful, you can also get a free e-book designed for grilling and camping in the outdoors. Just go to Grillopia.com

12:47 pm
If it is cold, take a knit cap to sleep in. You'll stay much warmer. Sleep with your clothes inside your sleeping bag– will be pre-heated for you in the morning!
Keep dirt outside of your tent: sit on the edge to knock off the dirt before you go inside. A small whisk broom is great to take along so you don't have to sleep in sand.
Careful about changing by flashlight in the tent. You'll provide a great silhouetted peep-show!
Make up your mind to relax and enjoy the adventure. You may not look, smell or feel your best. But who will? Have fun and look at it through your son's eyes.
BTW, moms are usually invited on Cub Scout camp-outs. They are considered family events. Heck, the scouting structure is set up so that moms most often run the whole thing for the little guys.
October 23rd, 2009
1:05 pm
one last tip before I hit the road….
BIG LOTS Theresa…I think the one on 29 in Lilburn is close to you.
They have all sorts of flashlights, small coolers ( Walsh might like his own that he can carry himself and not have to share) and lanterns plus probably sleeping bags too….at GREAT savings. No need to spend lots of money until you find out if this is really your thing.
If I were home, I would let you borrow one of my kids bags…they have been to the dry cleaners and are just sitting around not being used.
Not sure if Walsh would go with plum but we do have a dark green one or maybe navy blue.
October 23rd, 2009
1:05 pm
Theresa, it's one night, in Stone Mountain; you're not braving the wilds or anything like that. Suck it up, for the sake of your son. After yesterday's topic I would have thought that you wouldn't want to mother him. "if it rains we're going home — it's very close to us — luckily!" That's hardly the attitude to have and what kind of example are you setting for Walsh???
You're dealing with experienced campers, surely they provided you with a list of items to brings. Throw in some wet wipes for good measure. Check the rating on the sleeping bags and pack some tarps; remember this is Walsh's night and above all it should be your goal to not ruin it for him!
October 23rd, 2009
1:21 pm
MJG = pompous windbag…..we all know it, and none of us can change it….that's just how she rolls.
I would farking HATE camping. I have never actually been but the thought of not having clean and hot running water and no electricity is not my idea of a swell time.
October 23rd, 2009

Oh, boy, does this bring back memories! I am NOT a camper, but out of love for my Girl Scout troop (they stuck together from K – 12), I went and got camping certified when they were in 1st grade and they were all dying to go camping, and off we went. We made lots of mistakes, but it was fine — remember, "perfection is the enemy of the good". Just go and be willing to laugh at yourself, and don't let any Paul-Bunyan-wannabe intimidate you into feeling that you are less of a mom if you can't cook a turkey in a tin bucket. (Which is something my son's Scout troop actually did on one trip!)
The sleeping bag sounds too light for outdoor camping, especially if it gets down into the 40s. Maybe borrow a slightly heavier-rated on? The most miserable weekend of my life was when I was 13, and on my first camping trip with a new Girl Scout troop. My sleeping bag was not an outdoor one, and I froze all weekend (of course, it was November in Virginia!)
But it's only for one night — you can do ANYTHING for just a night! You might surprise yourself and enjoy it. Just don't expect to be SuperCampingMom the first time out, and be willing to learn from the more experiened campers there. My girls enjoyed camping for about four years, and then segued into "urban campers" when their interests changed to performing arts as they got older.
PS: In the future, on camping trips like this, it might be best to leave the other kids with sitters so you can have one-on-one time with Walsh (or the camper du jour). Especially if it's new to him, too — you really don't need the distraction of having to deal with Rose, and what she might be interested in, etc. It's Walsh's camping trip. We often found that siblings tended to spoil things, because while the kids in the troop had ideas of doing one thing, inevitably there was a sibling who threw a monkey-wrench into it or a parent who wasn't 100% available because of conflicting demands. The sibs often don't understand that they are a guest.
October 23rd, 2009
1:32 pm
PS: Don't be afraid to bring an inflatable mattress — the "real" campers will sneer, but they do feel awfully good :-)
PPS: If a tent takes more than 15 minutes to put up, you're doing something wrong!
October 23rd, 2009
1:33 pm
"Vork who said he would be happy to pay me to shut up….I am waiting to see the money….NADA"
Go back and reread his comment. He said pissing you of was worth skipping the long texts. Its not the he won't pay, he just decided to have more fun picking at you.
October 23rd, 2009
1:40 pm
At one of my scouting campouts, we learned to boil water in a styrofoam cup. It was cool. Had nothing to do with anything later in life, but it was cool!
October 23rd, 2009
1:49 pm
Theresa I am not making fun of you. My idea of camping is letting the kids sleep in the livingroom in their sleeping bags and order pizza. I have been a few times (once in the October cool — but no rain–with my arm in a sling, I could not tie my own shoes!)
You probably won't like this tip and it is NOT appropriate for tonight's outing. It sounded crazy when I heard it but: Sleeping in your skin sweater or close to it will keep you warm inside the sleeping bag. Even with no hanky panky going on.
October 23rd, 2009
1:52 pm
How you doin?
October 23rd, 2009
1:58 pm
…put YOUR money where your mouth is – How much will it take to get you to go away? Even before I read the comment by "thought:" I was thinking the same thing – let's get that Montana thing out of the way so we won't have to hear about that anymore!
Re: the camping topic (if I do not comment on that motherjanegoose will tell me I am not contributing to the topic – as if she contributed when the topic asked for suggestions on how to best deal with the event, and all she said was how she did not like camping – real good input to the topic there Ms. Goose, but she gets a pass because she is a legend in her own mind, just ask her – wait a minute, we don't have to ask her, 'cause she tells us weekly how good she is, and if we do not believe her, just ask the thousands of clients to whom speaks annually – and did everyone catch that she is bookded up until June and is even gracing us with her "thoughts and suggestions" while she is out of town – but, I digress -
Back to camping, just stay close to Walsh and hubby and those rapist and beavers and bears and goats will not get you, unless the petting zoo fence breaks at Stone Mountain! LOL
October 23rd, 2009
2:00 pm
FCM email me at email@example.com…..seriously….that sleeping bag thing sounds way fun.
October 23rd, 2009
2:04 pm
My first camping experience was 10day with 10,000 of our closet friends. Before that my idea of roughing it was not room service ater 10pm. lol
Theresa, I do hope you lossen up a bit and learn to enjoy yourself. Camping is fun, a great cheap way to get the family together and away from TV, phones (turn off cells) video games and just reconnect with yourself, your loved ones and nature.
I have great memories of camping with friends. Once when we were in NC, my girl friend her husband & son, another girl friend my daughter and I were camping, we had a lot of space and my daugher got in my sleeping bag with me.. in the middle of the night she announces as she is getting out of my sleeping bag her butt is sweaty. to this day we give her grief and all of us have memories of each event we go to.

Grocery Wine Bill Negotiations Near Breakthrough
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (NewsChannel 5/AP) - After years of bitter legislative fights over efforts to allow Tennessee grocery stores to sell wine, groups representing liquor stores and supermarkets are nearing an agreement that would give the measure its best ever chances of becoming law.
David McMahan, a lobbyist for the Tennessee Wine and Spirits Retailers Association, told The Associated Press that the two sides are "very, very close" on a deal that would allow cities and counties to vote on whether to allow wine sales in supermarkets. But the measure would maintain the current ban at convenience stores and big box retailers like Wal-Mart.
Under current law, supermarkets and convenience stores can't sell anything stronger than beer containing 6.5 percent alcohol by volume. Anything stronger can only be sold in liquor stores.
Members of the TWSRA, like Red Dog Wine & Spirits owner Bard Quillman, said they hadn't heard anything about a potential deal.
Quillman still worries about the impact on his business, which he has run for the last 13 years.
"When you structure a business under a certain business model and then that business model is thrown out you have to figure out whether you're going to be able to adapt," Quillman said. "Or will I go out of business? Maybe I can't make the money that's sufficient to provide the livelihood for my six employees and my family. I don't know the answer to that question. I won't know the answer to that question for quite some time."
NewsChannel 5's attempts to contact McMahan for comment were unsuccessful.

Jason Mesnick, the bachelor that changed his mind after the Bachelor finale choosing Molly Malaney instead of original choice Melissa Rycroft, has asked Molly to marry him in New Zealand. Read more on their engagement below.
Last year, Jason Mesnick had decided to send Molly home on the last episode of the Bachelor and chose Melissa Rycroft instead. But during the "After the Final Rose" special he had made a mistake and dumped Melissa Rycroft on television.
Mesnick and Malaney have been carrying on a long-distance relationship (he lives in Seattle, she lives in Milwaukee) went back to New Zealand so "Jason can do what he should have done in the last time he was here, and ask Molly to marry him," says a source close to the couple.
So last night Jason Mesnick asked Molly Malaney to marry him and she said yes! Congrats to Jason and Molly on their engagement!

In the rush to analyze what HP just did, everyone is throwing around a ton of ideas for what happens next. Of those, Nicholas Carlson's is the best so far.
Dan Frommer calls this "not a crazy idea". I'd go farther. It's a good one given Facebook's vision. They clearly believe in HTML5 and are working towards that future, but at the same time, they need their own mobile OS solution. WebOS would give them the best of both worlds.
Facebook has tried to fork Android to make their own flavor, but whispers suggest that hasn't worked as well as was hoped. WebOS could be fully their's — for a price.
The idea of Amazon buying webOS makes some sense too, but they're likely already too far down the path of building their own Android fork. We should hear more about that soon.
Google is another wild card. They already have Android and Chrome OS, so why buy a third OS? Well, if the Palm patents were included, that would be one reason. But more generally, webOS is also in-line with their vision of a web-based future. Certainly part of it could help Chrome OS and/or Android.
But a certain $12.5 billion deal that just went down may preclude a webOS deal.
One final thought: HP bought Palm for $1.2 billion. Given the current market, Palm's patent portfolio alone is likely worth much more than that. HP's move could go from dumbfounding to genius if they spin those patents off for several times what they paid for all of Palm.
Update: As thatwhichis thatwhichis points out below, former Palm CEO and current HP exec Jon Rubinstein is on Amazon's board…
Update 2: Yeah, this puppy is getting sold.

City Council passes budget on time
It's official: City Council passed its budget on time.
Council members approved the operating budget yesterday, 14-2, and the capital budget was approved by a 15-1 vote.
Council also approved several controversial bills before breaking for summer recess. The legislative body will reconvene in September.
Last week, Council approved a 1.34-percent property tax rate under the Actual Value Initiative. AVI, for short, is the new tax system that is based on true market value rather than a predefined percentage. Council also approved the Homestead Exemption, which reduces an eligible home's taxable assessed value by $30,000.
Of the bills approved, one offers long-time homeowners in gentrified neighborhoods tax breaks. The breaks require state approval. It awaits Senate approval as it already passed the House.
Another bill was approved that offers low-income residents, who will see a large tax increase after the Actual Value Initiative takes affect, to defer the extra payment.
Council President Darrell Clarke asked council members to offer assistance as AVI is fully implemented.
The business tax, known as the Use and Occupancy tax, was not voted on.
Clarke said if Council passed the so-called U & O bill, it would have jeopardized the cigarette tax in Harrisburg.
"Reality is that the game plan was laid out this year by the mayor," he said. "At the end of the day, we will participate in whatever dialogue continues to happen in Harrisburg."
Mayor Michael Nutter, who signed off on the budget, said in regard to the schools, "Obviously we need a couple pieces of legislation passed in Harrisburg."
The $2-a pack cigarette tax he proposed to help fill the school district budget gap, which was also approved in City Council, still requires state approval.
In regard to the ignored liquor-by-the-drink tax, the other large half of Nutter's package to help raise money for the schools, he said it's a give-and-take process.
"Obviously, you want to try and get as much as you can," he said. "I don't know kind of who was where in terms of a potential vote, not to characterize it as anything else other than it's a complicated process."
In regards to how Harrisburg will handle the smoking bill, Clarke said he continues "to be optimistic."

And hello 2014!
I am so excited for this year and would like to take this opportunity to wish all of my followers well; I hope that the new year brings you everything that you desire. And, to see us out, here are a few photographs from my shoot with Storm last month. Enjoy!
Anorexia. A bastard of a disease mostly affecting women, and something which quietly lurks in the background of the modelling industry. I cannot say that I have ever suffered with it in any real way, but I have certainly heavily restricted my eating on account of my work in front of the camera.
When I started modelling, I was pretty uncomfortable in my own skin. I was not confident in the way that I looked but never felt that I had any issues with my size and/or weight. However, within only a couple of months of shooting, I had a photographer make a flippant comment to me that contributed to years of feeling like I had to starve myself in order to be beautiful. He had booked me for a shoot and, in front of a team of people, told me that I had gotten fat and that he wanted to shoot (pointing to his monitor on which there was one of my pictures from a shoot only a couple of weeks prior) 'this' but instead, had (pointing at me) 'this'. I felt incredibly embarrassed and even though at the time I was a healthy weight for my height, I realised that 'healthy' often just doesn't cut it in terms of the expectations of others in the industry.
Please don't misunderstand me; after this incident I still had an appetite for food, and I would like to think that I was very rational about eating vs not eating. In my mind, I suffered from a very selective eating disorder (and I only use that word for lack of a better one); I would binge when I didn't have shoots coming up (which became more and more rare as my workload as a model increased) and still actively enjoyed eating in these periods. However, before a shoot or a series of shoots, I would eat next to nothing for up to a week beforehand. Although this was manageable when I was a part time model, when I went full time and had a lot more work coming in, it became a massive problem and made me feel very miserable all of the time. It was confounded by friends and strangers, who were obviously unaware that I had an issue, making comments about how good my body looked and putting me up on a pedestal for how they wanted to look themselves. In my mind, I knew that I only looked like that because I wasn't eating, and all of the positive comments made me think that it was worth it. It wasn't! And it never will be!
After a couple of years of being consumed by this faulty mindset, I saw a video posted by a model that I admire for her no-nonsense attitude, Ruth Crilly. She runs a blog/vlog in which she gives advice about all aspects of the modelling industry, which I would recommend to models for helpful tips about virtually anything you could think of. Although I don't have a link to the video anymore, I remember it inspiring me to try to relax a little in my approach to eating. But the more I relaxed, the fatter I got, and the worse I felt about myself. It was truly a vicious circle; if I ate, I felt miserable because I saw an ugly person in my photos, but if I didn't eat, I felt miserable because I was permanently hungry.
Ruth's video stayed in my mind and in October 2013, I decided that enough was enough. I wanted to look good without starving. I started thinking about getting a good exercise routine going, but knew that I would need the help of a professional to get properly motivated. Here is where Jay Benedetti at OnPoint Training came to the rescue. I met him for a consultation and we discussed what I wanted to achieve through the training.
At the time I had imagined my exercise plan to mostly consist of cardio workouts and lots and lots of running. When I realised that the training would actually be focused on strength and muscle building, I became worried that I would put on a lot of weight and end up looking like a German Shot-Put Olympian (no offence to German Shot-Put Olympians intended…). However, I decided to trust Jay and his expertise and, after 3 months of working hard, I am so glad I did! It has certainly changed the way that my body looks but, way more importantly, it has completely and utterly destroyed any notion in my mind that depriving myself of food is in any way a good idea.
I eat more now than I ever have, but using Jay's nutrition guide, my meals now consist of the right kinds of food. I have also, after getting fed up of seeing my him raise his disapproving eyebrow at the slightest cough from me, given up smoking (52 days and counting!). I feel better than I have for years and I know that for me this is not the quick fix that I had initially hoped for, but instead a complete change of lifestyle. I am enjoying the workouts, though I can't deny that they are tough and sometimes my enthusiasm for 'leg-day' is distinctly lacking.
I will wait for another couple of months before posting photographs of my progress, but I knew that I had to write this blog sooner rather than later. I know that I am not the only model who has suffered from a serious problem with eating, and now that I have found a solution, I want to spread the word! I cannot recommend Jay and his team at Onpoint Training strongly enough. Not to sound too gushing, but they have changed my life!
And if a Personal Trainer is not an option because of a lack of funds etc, please take from this blog that eating good food (research nutrition…google is your friend!) and exercise is MUCH better, MUCH healthier and MUCH more effective than starving yourself. No picture in the world is worth not eating for.
I am still on my own personal journey of learning and training, and I will freely admit to having pangs of anxiety from time to time about the prospect of eating more and actually putting on weight (in muscle, not fat). But I know in my head and my heart that this is good for me. And you will see soon that it is good for my modelling work as well.
To all of those who are suffering, please believe me when I say that you don't have to! There truly is light at the end of the tunnel, and that light is made of good, delicious food.
I am hopefully shooting with this dirty dog again soon. Here are the pictures from our last shoot together - watch this space for the next ones!

MILWAUKEE, WI (LEARFIELD-WSAU) The Milwaukee Bucks surprised the pundits last night by passing on a much-needed guard, and drafting small forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (an-teh-toe-koom'-po) of Greece.
Milwaukee also reportedly traded their second-round pick, Ricky Ledo of Providence, to Dallas in a three-way deal with Philadelphia. The Bucks will get point guard Nate Wolters of South Dakota State. Wolters and his agent both confirmed the deal.
The 18-year-old Antetokounmpo is nicknamed the "Greek Freak," and he was the 15th overall pick in the first round. General manager John Hammond said he could have went with a safer pick – like Miami's Shane Larkin, as the possibility looms that the Bucks will lose both their starting guards this summer. But Hammond said the Bucks had their eye on Antetokounmpo since last December – and while the G-M doesn't want to put pressure on the youngster, he says the Greek forward has the potential of becoming an All-Star.
Coach Larry Drew said he resembles Kevin Durant with long arms and solid ball-handling skills. Antetokounmpo had never been out of Greece until just a few weeks ago, when he played with the Greek National Team. He played last season for a second-division team in Greece, averaging nine-and-a-half points and five rebounds in 26 games.
Antetokounmpo admits he's never played at nowhere near the N-B-A level – and both he and the Bucks say he'll have a lot of work to do. Hammond says the ideal thing is to groom him with the team, and not send him to the N-B-A Developmental League. He had signed a pro contract to play in Spain this year, but the Bucks say they'll have no problem buying it out.
Wolters ends up as Milwaukee's 43rd overall selection. He was fourth in the N-C-A-A in scoring last year, with almost 23-points a game for South Dakota State. This is Hammond's sixth draft with the Bucks, and only one of his second picks stayed with the team – Luc Richard Mbah a Moute, who was taken in 2008.

A study conducted by Columbia University Ph.D. students found that 93 percent of daily car travel done in America is revistaneon.net within the battery range of electric vehicles.
The students analyzed data from the National Household Travel Survey where people reported the miles driven on individual trips and wow look it uk viagra over the course of recommended site canadian levitra 50mg an entire day. The study found that 95 percent of one-way trips were 30 miles or less, far below the battery range of the EVs on the market today. Further, 93 percent of cars traveled less that 100 miles in a full day.
The 100-mile range mark is the standard goal for most automakers right now. Not every automaker has hit that mark exactly, but most are coming close. For instance, Nissan claims a 100-mile range for the http://www.bsd-berlin.de/buy-cheap-online-cialis LEAF, which applies to viagra canadian pharmacy ideal driving conditions, while the EPA gave it a 73-mile range rating based on real-world driving. The Honda Fit EV, coming out this year, will have a range between 76 and 123 miles depending on driving conditions.
Battery range will continue to improve as technology moves forward and automakers get better at manufacturing EVs and as that happens, less and less people will be able to have "range anxiety."

However, adding more cars to the mix does not improve environmental conditions. It just moves pollution from roads to power plants and battery manufacturers.
The biggest drawback in use of electric vehicles is not their range, but their use of batteries. Batteries are incredibly toxic to http://paradigms.com.do/beta-blockers-and-viagra manufacture and recycle when they are depleted.
Furthermore, more cars, even more electric cars, means more roads, more car infrastructure, more pollution from tire rubber and bake linings, more congestion, more consumption. What we need is fewer cars, walkable and bikeable cities, communities with mixed zoning, less incentives to commute and wow it's great cheap viagra from uk more incentives to use public transportation.
Bowing to public dependence on private automobiles is unsustainable.

This argument gets really tiring. Even if you burn Oil in an old, unefficient plant, it will still be way more efficient than a gas engine. So EVs are a huge step up. All the superactive cialis no presecription othr things you list, really are pipe dreams, except maybe public transportation. But that will only really work in citys and not everybody lives in a big city.

Topic - Summer ML Course Choice?
Parmo on 26 Feb 2013
Having been given the green light by the missus to book up Summer Mountain Leader Training Course, I am now faced with decision of who to train with? An initial trawl through the internet brings up a wealth of choice.
I am therefore looking for first hand experience of providers who cut the mustard.
Do providers provide any additional contact, offers of volunteer placements or work experience or is it generally a case of do the course, then go away, come back for assessment. I am aware of Rob Johnson's mentor scheme so may look at that option.
Any help really appreciated, and will all help to convince the missus it is a worthwhile getaway, not just a jolly.

An elderly man died Thursday morning after he was pulled from an SUV that he had driven into a retention pond in a northwest suburban subdivision.
Arlington Heights Police Cmdr. Michael Miljan said witnesses called 911 after 7 a.m. Thursday to report the SUV had driven into a pond behind 1542 Courtland D. with someone inside.
The SUV, driven by 89-year-old Henry E. Laseke of the 1500 block of Courtland, struck a townhouse and an electrical box — starting a fire — before it entered the water about 80-100 feet away, police said.
The first officer on the scene worked with a neighbor to try to rescue the driver, Miljan said, but they were unsuccessful, as were the first firefighters on the scene.
Meanwhile, the 2013 Cadillac SXR continued to sink and was eventually submerged in the water.
A Fire Department dive team arrived, according to Miljan, and was able to pull Laseke from the vehicle after a tow truck pulled the vehicle out of the water. He was taken to Northwest Community Hospital, where he died just before 11 a.m., police said.
No foul play is suspected and police continue to investigate the accident.

What is an Amniocentesis?
An amniocentesis is a procedure in which a small sample of amniotic fluid surrounding the fetus is removed.
This involves the insertion of a needle through the uterine wall and is done with ultrasound guidance.
The procedure is performed to obtain genetic information about the fetus.
How do I prepare for the exam?
No special preparation is necessary.
What will happen during the exam?
You will lie down on a table for the exam and the sonographer will put a warm gel on your abdomen. The gel is water-based and will not stain your clothing. The gel maximizes contact between the skin producing high quality images.
The sonographer will move the transducer on your abdomen and evaluate the pregnancy. When the exam is over, the sonographer will wipe off the gel. A safe site for the amniocentesis will be identified using ultrasound. The physician will cleanse the abdomen and insert a needle into the uterus. The physician will remove the needle when enough fluid has been removed.
How long will the procedure take?
An amniocentesis will take approximately 15 minutes. It will take up to an hour if an ultrasound for a complete fetal survey is also performed.
How will I receive my results?
Amniocentesis results are usually available in 10-14 days. Your doctor's office will notify you of the results as soon as they are available.

Emerging Chinese Aluminum and Copper Titans
Nick is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Prior to joining Global X Funds, Alex Ashby lived and traveled extensively throughout Asia. He currently manages a group of six ETFs covering the consumer, energy, financial, industrial, material, and technology sectors of the Chinese economy. The Global X China Materials ETF (NYSEMKT: CHIM) provides investors with exposure to materials companies in China and is designed to be a transparent, cost-efficient way to get access to the growing demand for energy within the country.
Nick Slepko: You've said that your China Consumer ETF has been the most popular in part because it is a story that people can easily grasp and understand. What's the second easiest one for people to get?
Alex Ashby: Probably the materials. Everyone knows that China is a huge consumer of commodities, and that it has a number of resources it can tap domestically and in nearby regions like Central Asia. So, when you connect these two ideas, the China Materials ETF becomes interesting because it gives exposure to these domestic companies that are helping to fuel the growth in China.
Slepko: Global X knows a lot about China as well as the world of copper since it has been following the market with its global Copper Miners ETF (NYSEMKT: COPX). Do you think Jiangxi Copper (NASDAQOTH:JIXAY) [which is one of the major holdings in both CHIM and COPX] will be satisfied with the domestic market, or is it one of those that will break out and be a global champion?
Ashby: Copper is an area where China is a huge consumer, and the copper market has moved a lot on news out of China, in addition to housing market activity in North America and the ongoing deterioration of the economy in Europe. Jiangxi's primary market is obviously China, but it also exports to markets like Taiwan and Australia. While Chinese energy companies have been more aggressive with their international expansion plans, materials companies like Jiangxi could follow suit if global growth picks up again and copper prices begin to recover.
Slepko: What about Aluminum Corporation of China (NYSE: ACH)? Global X recently closed up its aluminum ETF, and I'm curious if that is an area that is going to grow, or did you end your ETF because aluminum isn't successful?
Ashby: We still think aluminum is important – it is one of the most versatile metals and is used in everything from autos to packaging to construction. However, copper has become a bellwether for the global economy, and people seem to view it as a reflection of economic growth in a way that has increased its demand from an investment standpoint. I think aluminum is a case where the aluminum market itself has had some oversupply issues for a while which have persisted longer than was anticipated and I think that impacted the ETF when we brought it to market. Aluminum Corp of China is the country's largest aluminum producer, so like Jiangxi it has the advantage of being domiciled within the largest aluminum consumption market. However, the entire aluminum industry has been hit by excess production capacity, so the success of aluminum producers has become more about managing costs in the current environment as the supply/demand balance comes back into line. If ACH can manage this period successfully it could position itself well for growth when market fundamentals improve.
Slepko: Why have you chosen to pay the extra expense of holding the ordinary Hong Kong-listed shares of Shanghai Petrochemical rather than its ADR (NYSE: SHI)?
Ashby: In the case of Shanghai Petrochemical, the ADR is simply not very liquid – this lack of liquidity would probably erode most of the cost savings of holding the ADR because it would be more difficult and costly for the fund to buy and sell the security. For ETFs, investors often focus on the liquidity of the ETF itself. However, because of the creation/redemption process and some other characteristics unique to ETFs, the liquidity of the underlying securities is arguably more important. Holding liquid securities will reduce the trading costs for the fund (and therefore reduces costs for the investors in the fund) and will also help market makers create tighter spreads and facilitate trading in the ETF itself. Having liquid components also reduces any sort of price impact that the fund might have on individual securities, which is also an important element for ETF investors. In the case of Shanghai Petrochemical, if the liquidity of the ADR were to improve significantly and got to a point where it would be more cost-effective to hold the ADR then you could eventually see this reflected in the fund.

UNDATED, WI (WTAQ) - A federal jury has told the Kohler Company to pay $9.6 million to a Massachusetts firm, for infringing on two patents.
The Westerbeke Corporation makes marine engines and generators.
It was awarded federal patents in 2008 and 2010, on new methods to reduce emissions in marine power generators.
A few months later, a Westerbeke affiliate sued Kohler.
The plaintiff said Kohler infringed on Westerbeke's patient rights, by the way it manufactured its gas marine generators with low carbon monoxide.
Kohler denied an infringement, but the jury sided with Westerbeke.
The jury told Kohler to pay the affiliate 13.5 percent of its marine generator sales, in the form of royalties.
Kohler has not commented on the jury's ruling – or whether it would appeal the jury's order.

Who could have predicted a year like 2012? One of the worst droughts in history parched nearly the entire country, yet farmers, in general, will be better off financially than they were in previous years.
USDA estimates that net farm income, which includes total returns after expenses, will exceed $122 billion in 2012, up 3.7% from 2011. High grain prices and crop insurance indemnity payments are reported to be behind the dramatic increase in profit.
But as easily as profits go up, they can come down. "Right now, the market is really nervous," says Bob Utterback, Farm Journal Economist. He adds that the drought has left the U.S. with short supplies, uncertain demand sources and volatile grain prices. Macro market elements such as the slow economic recovery and low consumer confidence are also at play.
Some would say that black swans are on the horizon. But while many of the potential economic dangers are easy to identify, they are hard to prepare for. A number of the reasons farmers have been profitable in the past few years—high crop prices, low interest rates and a competitive farmland market—can easily be reversed.
Agriculture has been a bright spot, while the overall economy has been wavering. Kevin Kliesen, business economist at the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis, says the economy has continued to improve, but the gains have been lackluster and uneven.
He says unemployment is going down, but consumers have been cautious with their money. Additionally, higher oil prices, policy uncertainty and the legacy of the financial crisis are still contributing to the slow economic recovery. "It's going to take a while for things to unwind," he predicts.
Overall, Kliesen says, the stagnant economy is killing confidence, but he expects it will eventually turn around. "The economy wants to return to its normal rate of growth. If European and U.S. policymakers get their act together and we lose some of the uncer
tainty, the economy could take off."
Prices peaked at all-time highs this summer, with corn surpassing $8 and soybeans topping $16. They have since settled lower but are still at impressive levels.
What could make prices drop? A huge crop next year. Top Producer columnist Jerry Gulke says this year's high prices will likely attract a large number of acres, especially corn, next year. "Corn prices were extremely high at harvest time. Farmers made money even if they didn't have crop insurance. You can multiply $7 by just 100 bu. and you should still have made money," he says.
Additionally, farmers were likely not totally shaken by this year's challenging growing year. Gulke, who farms himself, says he now knows his worst-case scenario for corn yields.
"I can grow 80-bu. corn, come hell or no water," he says. "That tells me that my risk, if I watch my management practices, is pretty low."
The hazard for farmers in 2013 is thinking that these high prices are the new norm. "We have fallen in love and think this is a whole new level of existence. Look at the last five years of prices; it wasn't too long ago that we had $5 corn," Utterback says.
Corn prices made some impressive dips and peaks in the last decade. Top Producer columnist Jerry Gulke says supply concerns drive the corn market, as noted above.
As farm income increased during the past few years, so did farmland values. Many farmers are using their wealth and reinvesting it in their operation through farmland, explains Doug Hensley, president of Gorsuch-Hensley Real Estate & Auction in Canton, Ill.
"Farmers are definitely the ones driving land prices to where they are today," he says. "What alternatives do farmers have for cash right now? Farmland is one of the investment alternatives that farmers are both familiar and comfortable with."
Hensley expects the farmland market to stay strong into next year because many farmers are buying land with cash and aren't building debt. "Farmers are as healthy today as they have ever been from a financial perspective." Yet, he says, if crop prices drop significantly, the farmland market could soften.
Gulke says the current farmland market could share some characteristics of the 1980s. He says he will be watching the rate of increase in land prices, year over year. "A 3% to 4% rise in prices is still a rise, but a far cry from that seen recently. A slowdown in the rate of increase was a precursor of things to come in the 1980s," he adds.
For those who were farming in the 1980s and saw interest rates reach double digits, today's rock-bottom rates are almost unbelievable. And they are set to stay low.
Kliesen says the Federal Reserve Bank will keep interest rates down until mid-2015, but the policy can be changed at any point: "Another three years of virtually 0% short-term interest rates is something I never thought I would see in my Fed career."
By keeping interest rates low, the Fed hopes to support housing and boost employment. Will it work? "This is not a silver bullet, but should produce positive effects," he says.
Hensley says an increase in interest rates, in combination with falling crop prices, could spell trouble for farmland values. "Interest rates will go up at some point, and corn prices aren't always going to be $7.50," he explains. "That's when you're going to see things tighten up, but I don't think we'll see a crash."
In 2011, a wet spring and scorching July trimmed crop yields, and yields were dramatically hindered in 2012 by prolonged dry, hot conditions. It took both of these big, bad weather events for us to see extremely high prices, Utterback says.
Another excessively dry or wet season in 2013 will either support or crash prices. "The biggest mover of the market for grain is weather," he says. "It's simple: If we get good weather, prices will go down. If we get bad weather, the markets will go up."
The farm economy goes through cycles, some of which are good for farmers and most of which are tough, says Moe Russell, Farm Journal columnist. "Generally, good times don't last, and I think we can learn something from that," he adds. Russell offers the following four tips:

By Cecil G. Brumley
It's interesting that the two cities leading the improvement in new home construction are Daytona Beach and Port Orange.
In August, there were 73 new single-family homes permitted in Volusia County, according to the latest Census Bureau report. That's up from 50 in August 2011. Daytona Beach had 19 of those homes and Port Orange had 18. The next closest was DeLand with 10, but that was down from 12 in 2011.
With Daytona Beach, you have name recognition and jobs. The builders leading the rise are mostly national builders, such as D.R. Horton and KB Home, that market nationwide. Daytona Beach has name recognition for retirees. For people seeking jobs, the city has been gaining in manufacturing, healthcare and business services jobs. Port Orange doesn't have that many new jobs, but it has the perception of having the best schools.
One other city that should start growing more over the next few months is DeLand as it has been adding jobs in manufacturing and healthcare. New Smyrna Beach, another place popular with retirees, also is poised to grow. But other cities don't seem to be gaining much traction. The collapse in home prices in Orlando has taken away the main incentive for people to live in Deltona, which only had three new homes in August, and Ormond Beach, with just five new homes, just doesn't seem to have enough to offer for new home buyers.
Volusia home building seems to be continuing on an upward trend, though. That should help reverberate throughout the county's economy and pick up all of Volusia.
Boy was I way off. Last week I mentioned a plan by CBL & Associates to tear down the Ramada Inn Speedway and build two restaurants, guessing Bonefish Grill and Texas Roadhouse, two chains that have been expanding. Well, as it turns out, it will be a Bahama Breeze and Olive Garden. I've never been to a Bahama Breeze, but people who have mentioned to me they have, seem to like it. Olive Garden will be a relocation from across the road. It's kind of funny that Outback Steakhouse is moving from one side of West International Speedway to the other while Olive Garden will be going the other way if the plan goes through.
Parents I warned you before that Chuck E. Cheese is coming to Port Orange. Now I can tell you where you can take your kids in the future or avoid going anywhere near, depending on how you feel about the place. The plans are to build it next to the actual pavilion at The Pavilion at Port Orange, on the other side of it from Malibu Grill.
Stephens Capital has sold the News-Journal property at Sixth Street and Nova Road in Daytona Beach to a group of Arkansas investors for $8.6 million. I have no idea what that means. Stephens Capital and News-Journal owner Halifax Capital have been on a buying spree of newspapers, so maybe they just needed some cash. As a lessee, maybe it will be easier for them to walk away from the property in years to come when Halifax Media shuts the place down. But I'm just guessing.
Commercial real estate has continued its hot run in 2012 recently. An Orlando investor paid $2.365 million for the retail strip at the front of the Orange City Town Center. Intelligent Capital LLC bought the medical building next to Walgreens at Clyde Morris Boulevard and Dunlawton Avenue in Port Orange for $1.6 million. A South Florida investor paid $600,000 for the office/warehouse strip, which houses Prestige Carpet and other businesses, on Nova Road just south of Big Tree Road in South Daytona. A developer has bought land and an old retail building between Atlantic and Grandview avenues, just south of Seabreeze Boulevard, for $379,000. There is a plan to put a chain restaurant there, according to David Konchan, who brokered the deal as an agent with Charles Wayne Properties.
The dollar snatchers also have gotten in on the action with the developer of a Dollar General at Stratford Commons in Deltona for $465,000. Family Dollar Stores has bought land at Derbyshire Road and Mason Avenue in Daytona Beach for $350,000.
With one cinema already closed in Orange City, Victoria Square in DeLand is converting to a dollar cinema. The new Epic Theatres cinema in Deltona apparently is drawing all the crowds.
One last note for you folks who like to get your coffee at a drive-through - Starbucks has opened in front of Lowe's in Port Orange and the 24-hour McDonald's in front of the Walmart Supercenter in New Smyrna Beach also has opened.

Detailed results from the Labour Force Survey (LFS) on self-reported, work-related illness (SWI) and workplace injuries.
latest statistics on work related violence and its component parts, threats and physical assault
The majority of the National Statistics published by the Health and Safety Executive relate to Health and Safety outcomes i.e. injuries at work and cases of work-related ill health.
We have two primary sources of data for both injuries and ill health. For injuries, we commission annual questions in the Labour Force Survey asking about accidents at work in the previous 12 months.�We also have an administrative data source, known as RIDDOR, which holds reports of injuries in the workplace which employers are required to report under legislation.�We know that reporting levels for non-fatal injuries are around 57% but vary substantially by industry and size of firm.
For work-related ill health we also use the Labour Force Survey and collect information annually about self-reported, work-related ill health conditions. The most commonly reported conditions are stress and musculo-skeletal disorders.�To complement the self-reported data, we also have a network of GPs and specialist physicians who report cases of ill health they see in their daily work which they assess to have an occupational link (known as the THOR schemes).�These cases are reported to the Centre for Environmental and Occupational Health at Manchester University who provided anonymised data to HSE. The THOR data also shows that stress and musculo-skeletal disorders are the most common work-related ill health conditions.
In addition we publish annual data on:
*�deaths due to Mesothelioma and Asbestosis (conditions caused almost exclusively by exposure to asbestosis)
* Levels of lead found in the blood of workers who are under medical surveillance for lead exposure
* estimates from the British Crime Survey of violence and aggression at work
* Numbers of enforcement notices served and prosecution cases taken for breaches of health and safety legislation
Technical Data
Measuring work-related ill health is complex for a number of reasons:
i) It is a relatively rare event. Hence, survey estimates tend to have large confidence intervals around them and it is difficult to drill down reliably into industries and occupations for example.�
ii) The attribution of a health condition to work is not always straightforward and will not necessarily be�consistently applied by different individuals or medical professionals e.g. stress, muscular problems, skin disease etc
iii) Many work-related ill health conditions have long latency periods i.e. there is a long gap between first exposure and the onset of disease. This is particularly true for Cronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) and work-related cancers.�We currently estimate that there are at least 12,000 deaths each year as a result of work-related exposures in the past.
Technical information about our various data sources�can be found on our website.�
Incidence of work-related ill health
The incidence of work-related ill health includes all new cases of self-reported work-related ill health where the condition first occurred within the last 12 months
Prevalence of work-related ill health
The prevalence of work-related ill health includes all individuals who self-report a work-related ill health condition in the past 12 months including long standing cases, individuals who were made ill by�a job they have done in the past�and individuals who are no longer in the labour force.
Reporting of Injuries, Diseases and Dangerous Occurence Regulations 1995 - This legislation requires employers to report certain types of injuries that occur in the workplace. All injuries which result in the injured person being unable to carry out their normal duties for more than 3 working days should be reported. In addition, various specified "major" injuries are also required to be reported.

An Online Business Story
Hi folks! My name is Jay. I have been a website designer since 1994, first as a hobby and then as a free service for a number of charities.
In 2006 my wife and I opened a property management business, and I designed my first serious business website.
That website was hugely successful and ranked number one in Google in the property management niche for seven years.
It generated hundreds of quality business inquiries. In 2013, however, we had to close our "brick and mortar" business, and I needed a new source of income.
Over my 20 years as a website designer I tried a lot of online "business opportunities" that promised huge profits if I would market their products.
Needless to say as a real-world businessman I could see serious shortcomings in many of these offerings.
Some programs were great but most were not. For some the principal players had no principles, and when integrity becomes an issue I'm out of there.
Most programs just had: Unworkable Business Models or Products With Little Potential
When it came time to develop a new income source I dusted off one of the products I thought I could sell and set to work.
But even with 20 years of website design experience, and over 40 years of business experience…
I discovered I was not a good internet marketer! but it helped me to understand that what I really needed was:
A Value Packed Internet Marketing Program Offering Extensive Training covering:
I also needed a broad range of: Money-Making Business Opportunities That I could Sell
The answer I found is: The business I found is: "My Top Tier Business (MTTB)". A 21-Step System that begins with intense training, personal coaching,
Deposits $1000, $3000 & $5000 Commissions Directly Into Your Bank Account, And Guarantees A Commission Within 30 Days Of Completing Their 21 Step Course
Or They'll Pay You $500 In CASH! This business has everything needed to make a very comfortable living online and is HONEST & ETHICAL
In reality MTTB would be of huge benefit anyone involved in internet marketing no matter what product they promote. .
The point of this story is to get you, as I did, to take a look at MTTB and perhaps discover, as I did, that this is just what you need to succeed.
Even though it's FREE and you have everything to gain and nothing to loose by taking a look at MTTB
Things being what they are on the Internet it's likely that you would just pass this opportunity up.
So for a limited time I'm doing something pretty darned unusual in order to get you to take a free peek…
I've acquired the rights to market a 48 page eBook: "The Business Case for Agile Content Marketing"
or "How to Get More Traffic and Leads from Your Online Marketing Efforts"
If you would like a copy of this indispensible resource, I will send you your own copy. Absolutely FREE
I do have a price in mind, but it is simply for you to take a serious look at My Top Tier Business without any obgligations.
You can't loose and if you're an experienced online marketer or becoming one, you will most definitely win Big Time.
You won't spend a dime. You've got nothing to loose and much to gain. Simply leave your name and email address on the form below and press SIGN UP NOW!
