momto8 replied to momto8's topic in Celiac Disease - Coping WithHi Stef, I have a Stephanie too. She is getting married in less than 6 weeks and we are very busy with wedding plans! The back and hip cracking problems you mention are too familiar! When I walk I can hear the bones in my hips grinding together. Not a good thing. I started hip pain in my mid 20's. I have never been way over my idea weight so it is not an issue of being too heavy. I thought maybe it was at times but my doctor says that I was not that far over weight. I do need to look into some exercise program to get my back stronger. It is frustrating because you need to exercise to feel good but you don't exercise because you DON"T feel good! It gets to be a circle that never ends. My most bothersome symptoms have been the painful BM's, periods, and racing heart. I couldn't even go out shopping without know where the potty. It is a real problem when you are out traveling or shopping, Or on "It's a Small World" at Disney land and you are in this boat thinking you are going to pass out or have a major accident right there in the boat!! That really did happen. I ate a hamburger then got on this ride with my family. I was so SICK I was ready to pass out or vomit. It was horrible. I thought I was going to have to jump out into the water to get out of there! But I managed to do the breathing I learned in Lamaze and that helped me make it to the end of the ride. Celiac makes many things very difficult. Now I can get in the car and go without worrying! My food allergies add to the frustration but I am wondering if they will get better if I take care of this gluten issue. I feel better over all that is for sure. I have been adding little things back in my diet just to see what happens. Nothing gluten though. I seem to be able to handle milk ok. I am happy to know some chocolate can be eaten. I have found that I need to eat smaller meals throughout the day. I am not sure if everyone is like that or not. I guess one of the things for me is going from a junk food diet to a more healthy diet. It took a while to get used too! Lee Ann
momto8 posted a topic in Celiac Disease - Coping WithHello, I have been trying to stay gluten-free from about November 2004. I was diagnosed with IBS about 20 years ago. As the years have gone on my problems have become worse with food allergies and terrible bowel problems. Severe pain with loose BM. I have noticed several improvements since going gluten-free. I no longer have to run to the potty!!! I have fairly normal BM for the first time in a very long time. Generally no pain with BM. My acne on my neck and upper back and jaw line is gone!! My heart does not feel like it is trying to climb out of my chest anymore after eating! No longer winded, "psoriasis" on my joints is completely gone. I have been officially diagnosed with Psoriatic Arthritis and I have to say my joints feel pretty good now! I do have disk degeneration in my lower back so the diet has not helped in that area. I am 41 and I do worry about that. My periods are much easier to tolerate now. So even though I don't have an official dx I do think I have found the answer. My doctor was thinking Crones but he was also very interested in what I would find out by doing gluten-free. I have not gone back to the doc because my insurance is not that good. Anyway, I feel like I may not be getting enough vitamins. I have added milk for calcium and potassium. I was getting leg cramps. I eat mainly a low carb diet with some chocolate thrown in! Yum! I keep Heresy's bars in my purse. I eat processed cheese. I don't think they have any gluten in them. If they do I seem to be handling them ok. I do have food allergies that limit my choices. I seem to be intolerant of chicken. Although turkey is fine. I can not have anything mold based so regular cheese is out. But I am wondering about mozzarella cheese? Any one know if that would be ok? I tested allergic to: Corn, oranges, tapioca, mushrooms, perch, hazel nuts (walnuts burn my tongue), apricots, onions, arrowroot......I am an odd person aren't I? I do not tolerate potatoes very well. They make my heart race. Pop corn makes my face swell. Rice gives me terrible tummy cramping. I am looking for some foods I can actually eat that will fit into this mess that I am in. I have lost 25 pounds since November and I do need to see what foods I can add to stop my weight loss now. But I want to stay feeling good too. Any ideas? Thanks so much, Lee Ann (I hope this is in the right forum"
momto8 replied to momto8's topic in Celiac Disease - Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & SymptomsHi Deb, Thank you. Did you feel like you were nuts? Or being treated like you were? I have become so tired of feeling like the doctor is rolling his eyes at me. If I could find a good woman family doctor I would do it! I am not sure if a woman would be any different, hopefully she would. I was told that I was having panic attacks when I was in my mid 20's. So of course tid bit is in my records and in the doctors mind everytime I go through their door! I do not visit the doctor often. I have not been there in over a year. I just got so sick of it I decided I would NEVER complain to the doctor again and figure it out on my own. I am not depressed. I am not having panic attacks. I have nothing to panic about. I am generally a happy person. I have 6 children at home(2 of the 6 are our biological daughters. The other children are adopted) 2 waiting in Haiti to come home (waiting for the adoption to be processed), and I am VERY happy with my life. It is sad but when you get to this point you have basically lost all confidence in doctors. I have even been tested for Lymes and Lupus because of mysterious rashes. You would have thought the doctor would have gotten a clue when those tests came back ok! I have done Atkins twice in the past 6 years. Both times I had wonderful results in the way I felt and weight loss. I felt so much BETTER that I did not even care if I lost weight. The problem has been sticking to it. I think I will have more luck maintaining the way of life if I am able to stay gluten-free instead of carb free. gluten-free has a bigger variety of things I can have in my diet. Eating meat all of the time is hard to tolerate. I had been doing a strict lo carb diet until about the middle of July. I lost it when the fresh fruit pies started coming out! Then birthday cakes............But I have been struggling for the past 2 months with overwhelming fatigue and other problems that I know are diet related. Same old stuff as before only worse. It has taken years of experimenting with my eating habits but I think I have finally figured it all out. It is like a jigsaw puzzle that had to be pieced together. My siblings have very obvious allergies so they got all of the testing and meds they needed while they were young. I did not present with anything obvious so no one knew. My mother has the same type of problems I have. I need to get her information on Celiac. I have not been officially diagnosed but it really would not make a difference one way or the other. Why give the insurance company another reason to raise my rates!! Thanks so much! Lee Ann
momto8 replied to momto8's topic in Celiac Disease - Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & SymptomsHi Richard, Thank you for you help. The doctors have discounted many of my complaints because I am not "unhealthy" looking. My weight has always been about 20-30 pounds over the top range of my ideal weight. I have become so frustrated by the amount of pills the doctors try to get me on. I have no intention of taking any more meds than necessary. I have to take my bp meds and I also take a beta blocker for my heart rate. Other than that I have refused the other meds for pain or what ever else. I went through a series of tests including two MRI's just about 3 years ago because they thought I may have MS. I do have very strange skin sensations BUT I get almost total relief on a low card diet. It has taken many years for me to put this all together. I have decided I am not going to live the second half of my life in misery. I think what I need to do is find another doctor. Getting another skin test would be a good idea since the other one was not conclusive. Thanks so much! Lee Ann
momto8 posted a topic in Celiac Disease - Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & SymptomsHello, I almost don't know where to start. I have been reading through many of the posts here. I have had health issues my whole life. In my first year of life I received one anti-biotic shot per week. At the age of two I started taking gamma globulin (not sure on that spelling) shots. That went on for 2 years. During that time I was given a small pox vaccination and had a nasty reaction to it. I broke out in sores on my torso. Recovered from that and then they gave me ANOTHER small pox vaccination....that one took and I was ok. During my childhood I would eat many odd things. I had a huge craving for rocks and dirt. I ate paint, paper, glue, some household cleaning products, anything that was metal was appealing to me. Drove my mother nuts. I had problems with milk but my mom did not realize it at the time. When I was 12 I broke out in what they thought was ring worm or eczema. It rapidly spread to all of my joints and my tail bone. It was so bad and itched a lot. I went under the care of a dermatologist at that time. He treated me for eczema with little success. I was miserable. I would often vomit after I would eat, not on purpose, and I would get a terrible head ache. We had a lot of high carbs while I was at home. Lots of corn, fish, breads, potatoes..... I could not learn in school. I passed - barely. I was in a fog. I was over weight and my body hurt. My skin was a mess and I could not make it through a day of school without wanting to take a nap. After I had my first baby at the age of 20 I had my gall bladder removed. That helped my stomach feel better. But I continued to have problems so I went through allergy testing. I found out I was allergic to many of the things I ate on a daily basis. Fish, nuts, mushrooms, yeast, oranges, apricots, arrowroot (tapioca), onions. Those are the things I tested highly allergic too. I immediately went on a very strict diet. Basically low carb. I lost 60 pounds, my blood pressure was down, my heart rate was down, my "eczema" went away...... But that was hard to stick too. I started to add things back to my diet and when I did that the intestinal stuff started. The kind that you better be within a few feet of a potty or you are in real trouble! I thought my problems were due to the things I had tested allergic too. But I was finding just avoiding those items was not working any more. My "eczema" came back with a vengeance. My joints were covered and it started working it's way up my legs. I itched so bad I couldn't sleep. I had to go on antibiotics for infections I had caused from all of the scratching. One doctor did a biopsy on the skin patches and said it may be psoriasis, but it was not conclusive. They did not know for sure. So over the next several years I struggled. I thought my agony was due to my weight, but I have never been that over weight. I am 5'6 and have weighted at my most around 180. So I have never been severely over weight. I tried the weight watchers diet and that almost killed me. I ate whole wheat everything. I broke out in a mess of sores along my hair line, chin, and upper back. The sores reminded me of a chicken pox. This is getting to long so I will wrap it up. I am 41 now. My doctor has tried to diagnose me with everything under the sun!! MS, Psoriatic arthritis, Chrons, IBS, panic attacks, FMS, trigeminal neuralgia.....Then he gives me a pill and thinks I will be happy! I don't want medication. I want to know what the problem is. Two years ago I went on the Atkins diet. Lost 35 pounds, my "psoriasis" cleared up, I had no more sores on my back or hair line, no more acne, I did not have loose stool for months (I used to get pain so bad that I had to call my mom for help because I thought I was going to vomit and pass out on the floor. I was BAD) My body pain was gone, my vision was better (no more floaters), I could stay awake all day, much more energy! I started to add carbs back to my diet and I am finding I am a MESS again. So I just started lo carb again two days ago. I am feeling a bit better already. It is just pretty hard to stick to it. But the big thing that motivates me is being able to eat and not run to the toilet. It really restricts my life. I can not eat out, I can not go shopping without knowing where the potty is. It has been very frustrating for me. Another benefit I have found is around mid cycle. I have so much pain for the last two weeks of my cycle when I am eating a normal diet. It is so bad I can hardly sit down! I have severe low back pain while eating grains but it was totally gone when I was eating low carb. I am not familiar with gluten free yet so I am going to stick with low carb until I learn more about gluten-free. I am allergic to yeast but can not seem to give up my cheese! funny thing is everything I LOVE to eat seems to make me sick. Thank you for listening to this. Do I sound like I am anywhere near an answer by coming to this board? Oh, and I read some threads about people eating the tips of matches, I though I was the only one who ever did such a thing!!! I used to chew on them too. Those cravings are not such an issue any more. I have never tested anemic in my adult life but I did as a child. Can it take this long to figure out you have Celiac? If that is in fact my problem. My doctor said I have white flecks on my finger nails but he related that to psoriasis. funny how my "psoriasis" goes away totally when I don't eat grains! Right now if I eat the wrong things my heart races, I get sick to my stomach, and I get a smashing head ache. It does not take long to learn what NOT to put in your mouth with those sorts or reactions. I have no idea if I have Celiac or not but I do know avoiding grains it a good idea for me. It makes it hard to stick to the food pyramid!!

Ratings for Dr. Laurie S. Perrin
Excellent Doctor! Very knowledgeable, caring and personable and attended to my concerns during a high risk pregnancy. My husband and I really felt that we were in the best hands possible.
I had a horrible experience. She brushed all my concerns off and I almost died. I have heard many similar stories. The staff is rude and unhelpful.
Greatest OB/GYN!!! She delivered my last baby, it was a VBAC and she was always very supportive, unlike my previous doctors who treated me like I was a very high risk pregnancy. I would definitely recommend her!
Dr Perrin seems very knowledge, although sometimes her answers to discussions would change from one appt to the next. She consistently runs late, but does apologize. She also seems to be distracted and rushed when running late or on days with a lot of appts. She is also out of town A LOT. During the 8 months I saw her for my pregnancy she was out of town 5 times, including during the delivery. I found this pretty frustrating at times. Overall, I still think she is thorough, knowledgeable, and professional and I would definitely recommend her.
Dr. Perrin was a fantastic doctor. She recently delivered my daughter in the hospital in the middle of a white out snow storm!!! I was impressed by her commitment to me and my family and appreciate all her help through out my pregnancy. As some other raters have said sometime the wait is a little long but she is always honest and upfront about it and she apologizes when is running behind. Overall, I would have to say that Dr. Perrin is a thoughtful, caring, and commited Dr. and would recommend her to anyone in a heart beat.
When we got in I told her we had been trying to have a baby for serval years. She ordered a hsg didn't tell me what it was. I waited three month and never get a call back. I finally called, the receptionist then gave me results from a pap smear. I said that didn't sound right Finally found out they never received results. I had to find them Then instead of having me come in so they could explain the condition a receptionist called back and said it looked good even though when I had it done the radiologist told me my uterus was shaped weird and I needed to talk to my dr about it when she called me for results. finally we thought I was pregnant and went to get blood done, waited a week didn't hear back and called myself. receptionist again gave me results, saying everything is good it was all negative, I have no idea if she actually gave me the results from my blood work, which they were also supposed to tell me what my hormone levels were at and they didn't, or a pap smear
She is WONDERFUL! She has delivered 2 of my children and only missed my 3rd because she was out of town. I love that she will make sure to come to the delivery if at all possible. She is very helpful and will give you as much time as you need during appointments! =) Sometimes you have to wait for a little bit to get in but then she will stay in with you until you are done with all your questions! I would recommend her to ANYONE!
For the most part my experience with Dr. Perrin was wonderful. She recently vaginally delivered my first child. There were times when I had to wait up to 30 minutes to be seen, but that is what happens when you see a Dr. who tries very hard to be at the deliveries of all her patients. She was very good at answering questions, though I would have appreciated a little more education during appointments. I felt very safe and confident her knowledge and clinical skills and would recommend her to a friend. I hope to have her as my doctor the next time I am pregnant.
I had a horrible experience. She inserted the Merena IUD without explaining the dangers. The next thing I knew I had to be cut open have it removed. I almost died and still suffer meidcal problems because of it. I will never see her again.
She is an excellent Dr. She has delivered 2 of my children and is hopefully going to deliver me this time. She makes every effort to attend her patients deliveries. She always answers questions and has been one of the best dr's that I have ever had.

The problem, as I see it, is that Mata is just too good-looking.
Yes, well might you snort. Dropping Chelsea's player of the year for the last two seasons on the basis of his bodily appeal alone may appear irrational in the extreme. But then, you have to remember that this is Jose Mourinho we are dealing with here: a man who oozes inscrutability from every perfumed pore. Such is the servile, oracular regard in which Mourinho is held in this country that even the innocent act of helping out Mark Halsey's leukaemia-stricken wife is imbued with Machiavellian intent.
"Smart move by Jose to give that ref a free holiday. And his wife had cancer? Typical Jose. Always thinking."
One suspects that if Mourinho were to vomit all over the Stamford Bridge dugout, you could still find somebody who would call it a mind game. So perhaps it is hardly surprising that his callous discard of Mata, a World Cup and Champions League winner who, at 25, is theoretically in the prime of life, carries the unmistakable whiff of enigma.
"Why does this guy not like Mata?" wondered Jamie Redknapp on Sky before Chelsea v Fulham on Saturday. "What has he done? It just doesn't make any sense to me."
"It's something personal," muttered Ruud Gullit in a conspiratorial tone.
On first glance it would appear that with Oscar, Willian, Andre Schürrle, Eden Hazard and Kevin de Bruyne greasing Chelsea's flanks, Mourinho is simply ostracising Mata because he can, a self-aggrandising act with all the ostentation of the millionaire playboy setting light to a wad of banknotes in the VIP area of a nightclub, in full view of his peers and in direct contravention of fire safety regulations.
Mourinho, it has to be said, has done little to douse this myth. Speaking to Sky after the game, he embarked on an illuminating yet wildly unfocused 10-minute monologue, explaining his reasons for picking Oscar over Mata, touching on a number of discordant themes and ending with his now-familiar claim to divine prerogative. "You are paid to have an opinion," he said. "I think you are very good. But Chelsea manager is Jose Mourinho, not Jamie Redknapp." Yet perhaps something more prosaic lies behind all this. Earlier this year, Mourinho turned 50. Hitting the half-century does curious things to a man.
It is mortality's alarm call, turning the mind to thoughts of posterity and one's place in the world. It is surely no coincidence that recent weeks have seen the arch-pragmatist soften his approach, as he seeks to bequeath Chelsea an artistic legacy that coincidentally will also stand as an insoluble monument to his own genius.
"Your business doesn't finish the day you leave," he said last week. "Your business finishes the day everything you did disappears."
All the hallmarks of a formative mid-life crisis are in place: an impulsive thirst for change, a fixation on youth ("beautiful young eggs"), and a borderline-paranoid envy of what he can no longer have. With his twinkling feet, cheeky grin, effortless talent, languid demeanour and designer stubble, Mata presents a picture of perfect timelessness at the point when Mourinho is most keenly aware of the ticking clock.
Jettisoning him is the equivalent of an ageing king banishing a dashing nobleman from his court, just in case the wife gets any naughty ideas. If this sounds wildly fanciful, then his treatment of the equally handsome Iker Casillas at Real Madrid provides cast-iron precedent.
Not that any of this will provide much consolation to Mata, now condemned to a long season of humiliation, inertia, aimless training sessions, League Cup ties and tracking back to cover the runs of second-rate full-backs.
Before long, barring a sudden change in the weather, he will probably be lost to English football forever: the eligible young thane of the final third cast into exile, for the simple crime of being too pretty by half.

Meghan McKeon: 22 Years for Death of Toddler Home Alone While She Spent Time With Bottle
A Facebook photo of Meghan McKeon. More images and a video below.
Earlier this year, we told you about the arrest of Meghan McKeon after the death of her three-year-old son, Austin Davis. Now she's been sentenced to more than two decades in stir for her actions, which included leaving the boy home alone for days while she was "spending time with a bottle." Photos, a video and the latest details below.

Back in April, when our previous post was published, McKeon's Facebook page was still online, and that remains true at this writing. The page features plenty of self-portraits like this one....

Why was the last pic taken? The answers are provided by Steamboat Today, the newspaper that's done the best and most thorough coverage on related incidents to date.
This past summer, as we reported, Davis, who'd moved to Steamboat not long before, was arrested for allegedly going up to multiple underage teen girls and offering them money for sex. The Steamboat Springs Police Department said a photo of Davis taken by a girl approached on a city bus helped them track him down.
On August 30, Davis reached a plea agreement on the allegations that required him to register as a sex offender -- except he didn't, leading to him being arrested again in December.
By the following March, Davis wasn't the only one in trouble with the law.
Continue for more about the sentencing of Meghan McKeon, including additional photos and a video.
Another Facebook self-portrait of Meghan McKeon.
A March 28 Steamboat Today article cites McKeon's arrest affidavit, in which she's quoted as initially telling police that she left Austin with a babysitter at 1:45 p.m. the previous Wednesday, March 26, before heading to work at an area City Market.
At some point, though, her account changed. Instead of putting him in the care of a sitter, she reportedly acknowledged leaving him at home alone after putting out some food and starting a movie. She had supposedly done something similar at least twenty times in the past.
After her shift, McKeon is said to have spent the night at the home of an unnamed boyfriend before heading home the following morning to find Austin lying face up; his eyes were open but he was immobile and showing no signs of life.
McKeon responded by calling Davis, then in the Routt County Jail, before heading to a local medical center. Other relatives eventually called 911 on her behalf, but it was too late.
An autopsy showed that Austin died of dehydration -- and investigators later determined that he'd been on his own for three days, not just one. They added that McKeon's home, described as a cabin at a local campground, was in chaos upon their arrival, with human waste and partially eaten food tossed around and razors left in potential reach of a curious toddler.
Such evidence led the Routt County District Attorney's Office to accuse McKeon of three misdemeanors related to child abuse and reckless endangerment, and she was ready to plead guilty to them. But then, a switch: The charges were dismissed.
When the prosecutors made this move, Charity O'Konski, Davis's mom, reacted with anger, shouting, "She killed a baby." But McKeon wasn't set free. Instead, she was arrested again, this time on suspicion of child abuse resulting in death, a felony.
Yesterday, McKeon pleaded guilty to the latter allegation and was quickly sentenced to 22 years in prison. During the hearing, McKeon explained that she'd been "spending time with a bottle, chasing unattainable dreams" during the period when Austin was slowly dying, and she's filled with regrets. She now wants to start an organization to help women in similar circumstances.
Perhaps the kindest words for McKeon heard during the session came from Tyler Davis, speaking via video hookup from jail. He reportedly told her he hoped her experiences wouldn't scar her for life and signed off with the phrase, "Good luck with everything."
Here's a look at McKeon's mug shot, followed by a new report by CBS4.

HCA wins Queen's Award for contribution to international trade
HCA has once again been honoured with one of the highest awards for British business, the Queen's Award for Enterprise in International Trade, for outstanding achievement in investment and growth of overseas business.
The company, which operates a number of private hospitals in London and Manchester providing a wide range of complex medical and surgical treatment to UK and international patients, was recognised for continuous overseas sales growth; over the last six years HCA increased overseas turnover from 26% to 35% of total turnover. In addition, the group is a significant employer having more than quadrupled headcount over the same period.
The Queen's Award also recognises companies' investments in innovation and HCA was praised by the organisation for major investment in new equipment and technologies totalling over £500m in the last ten years.
HCA President and Chief Executive Officer, Michael Neeb, commented:
"To win this award for the third time is a tremendous achievement and testament to the expertise and dedication of the leading consultants and specialist teams across HCA's network of hospitals. Our ongoing investment in the latest technology and medical research combined with the capabilities of our highly experienced medical teams, make a sizable contribution to the reputation of London as a centre of medical excellence.
"At HCA's hospitals, we are privileged to work with some of the most distinguished consultants and physicians in the world and many patients travel to London to access their skills. HCA is often competing in a global healthcare market, facing alternatives in Germany, the United States and Singapore among others. Our hospital group strives to provide not only the best treatment and outcomes, but also the best overall service for patients, in the knowledge that it must maintain the highest standards and best quality of care every day of the year.
"HCA hospitals and diagnostic centres now treat patients from numerous countries with many travelling from Kuwait, United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Cyprus, Pakistan and Russia, and revenues derived from national embassy funding or international private medical policies."
Notes to Editor:
HCA International hospitals provide care for more than 400,000 patients a year with an international reputation for the highest standards of complex care. HCA has invested more than half a billion pounds over the past ten years in its facilities, including a comprehensive range of the latest diagnostic and treatment technology. HCA is the only private provider to have ITU level 3 in all of its hospitals. For more information, visit www.hcahospitals.co.uk

I have to admit, before I sat down and actually meditated, I had numerous preconceived ideas about meditation and what cultivating a relationship with self was all about. Admittedly born from my own fear of discovery, my skeptical view of meditation kept me from accessing my inner wisdom for quite a number of years. That said, if you're a questioning beginning meditator, not to worry. Welcome aboard.
Jeanne Ball, in her latest Huffington Post, takes a look at 3 common meditation myths with an eye toward exposing their truths. According to Ball, while the belief that meditation takes a long time to master and that all meditation practices are the same are high on the list, the number one myth newcomers bring to a practice is the belief that meditation is difficult.
Myth #1: Meditation is difficult
It is often said that the mind is like a monkey jumping from tree to tree, always searching for more bananas. Most approaches to meditation involve degrees of effort or control, in hope that the mind can be steadied or subdued. Many earnest students of meditation tell me they have tried this and found it difficult.
Fortunately, there is an easy way to settle the mind and expand awareness — one that anybody can learn, even children. The TM technique is based on the mind's very nature, on its inherent tendency to search for more and more. It is this natural flow of the mind toward greater happiness that leads attention to deeper, quieter levels during TM practice, and then beyond all thinking to where the quest is fulfilled — the field of peace, energy, and happiness that resides deep within everyone. As Maharishi Mahesh Yogi once said, "We don't control the mind, we satisfy the mind."
Read Ball's response to meditation myth number two and three here.

Apples and bananas are countable – but water and rice are not countable. So you can say one apple, two apples – but with water or rice, you only say rice. There is NO rices. NO NO NO. We use some with both Countable and Uncountable Nouns in positive sentences – for example 'Some people in my school like music'. People are countable, or 'I have some money', here money is uncountable. We also use some when offering. We use some in questions when we expect the answer to be 'yes' or when we are offering something. 'Would you like some coffee? We use any in question and negative sentences. If we are not sure about the answer, we could say, Would you like any money?

- 22 percent said sales would grow zero-5%,
- 38 percent said 5%-10%,
- 23 percent said 10%-15%, and
- 16 percent said 15% or more.
Participants in the lawn and garden industry are relatively optimistic about growing sales during the next selling season — and they generally believe that this is a good time for dealers to start stocking more inventory, according to survey results released today by GE Capital, Commercial Distribution Finance (CDF). Forty-three percent of industry participants said the popularity of lower-cost models will have the largest impact on sales this year. At the same time, 24 percent said reduced levels of inventory will affect sales while 20 percent said long production lead times will have an impact. "We have seen a shift in stocking levels and improving inventory turns over the last six months," said Michael Horak, commercial leader of CDF's outdoor products group. "That tells us that product mix will become an important factor for retailers in the coming months. As consumer confidence starts to improve and product turns accelerate, customers will start looking for alternative product options." Respondents generally agreed that this is an appropriate re-stocking period, with 40 percent saying this is a good time for dealers to stock more inventory and 41 percent saying they had mixed feelings. When asked how much they expect their overall company's sales to grow in 2013, here were their responses:

Duke Special, Neil Hannon and other top Irish musicians have recorded a seven-track EP to raise money for My Lovely Horse Rescue.
The EP will be launched at a special gig at the Button Factory in Dublin on 4th May at 7.30pm, which will feature performances by Neil Hannon, Duke Special, Paddy Hanna, No Monster Club, The Late David Turpin, Gar Cox and special guests.
All of the songs were recorded at Temple Lane Recording Studios by final year students at the Sound Training College.
Event page: Facebook Event Page
The EP, which is being released as a download, includes new material and covers by those involved. Neil Hannon, of The Divine Comedy fame, has recorded a previously unreleased track called 'It's Never Too Late'. With Duke Special on lead vocals, it is a characteristically witty and well-observed tale of sexual discovery in later life, which is particularly apt in post-Marriage Equality Referendum Ireland.
The musicians were motivated to contribute by a desire to help the many horses which are abandoned, neglected and abused in Ireland each year. My Lovely Horse Rescue is a non-for-profit organisation that rescues, rehabilitates and re-homes Ireland's horses, ponies, donkeys and other equines. The money raised by the EP and launch night at the Button Factory will be used to support the wonderful work done by the charity.
Tickets for the launch night (€ 7 or more, if you feel like donating).
Available at the door.
We go through about 20 large round bales of hay per week at our rescue centre. Also, many of the horses we help often need hay on site, as they are...

San Francisco (AFP) June 4, 2013
Smartphone sales will eclipse those of basic mobile phones this year for the first time as desire for handheld computing power grows, a market tracker said Tuesday.
International Data Corporation (IDC) expected smartphone shipments worldwide to reach 958.8 million units, topping last year's total by 32.7 percent to account for 52.2 percent of the mobile phone market.
"2013 will mark a watershed year for smartphones," said IDC mobile phones program research manager Ramon Llamas.
"Looking ahead, we expect the gulf between smartphones and feature phones to grow ever wider."
Demand for smartphones is shifting to emerging markets, with average selling prices dropping to win customers, according to IDC.
"It is often the first affordable means of computing for these markets," IDC analyst Ryan Reith said of smartphones.
"These are markets where average personal income is far less than in developed markets, and therefore vendors have been forced to create smartphone computing experiences for the low end of the market."
Shipments of smartphones topped those of basic mobile phones for the first time ever in the first three months of this year, according to IDC.
The rise of smartphones has put power in the hands of California-based Apple and South Korea's Samsung, but Chinese companies such as ZTE and Huawei have muscled their way into the top-five sellers, according to IDC.

Brief Summary by Poppy Hutchinson: At first, the Famous Five can't believe that Tinker, a quirky young boy, with a pet monkey called Mischief owns a lighthouse, on Demons Rocks! But then, when he offers to take them to spend the holidays, there this extraordinary fantasy becomes an exciting reality and they become involved in an adventure of undersea tunnels, a treasure trove of gold coins, and some ruthless villains, prepared to do anything to claim the fortune stored beneath the Lighthouse. The Famous Five and Tinker need to tell the Police: but then, they find themselves locked within the walls of the Lighthouse...
Full Review (This may contain spoilers):
Terry Gustafson's Review
In the search for characters a little different from the norm, the choices are rapidly becoming less and this time Enid Blyton introduces a person who is a potential candidate for the Funny Farm. It's a boy who thinks he's a car!
A Professor Hayling and his son — Tinker come to stay at Kirrin Cottage because the Prof. and his good friend Quentin need to confer over very important scientific matters. The Famous Five (Julian, Dick, George, Anne and Timmy) who also arrive for their hols would obviously be Disturbers Of The Peace especially when it is realised that one of them is a noisy dog so it would be advisable for them to consider absenting themselves. The boy Tinker has a monkey called Mischief and they naturally have to pass the George Acceptance Test which they do after a clash or two. Timmy and Mischief, having made their presence felt right through the stratification of the Kirrin household, make friends with each other but the combination of anthropoid and canine is too much for the learned men who are ensconced in Quentin's study with their scientific papers and the extraneous noise becomes even worse when Tinker exhibits his obsessive talent for imitating cars such as a Jaguar or a Bentley. EB produces several trade-mark names in this book although Bentley was mentioned as far back as 1944 — and Tinker can imitate the lot. He extends his noises to that of a bicycle bell and looks to be another of those impressionists who have featured in a few of the author's books one of whom comes to mind would be Julian Holland -a pupil at Whyteleafe School who could imitate any animal he fancied. Before the men in the white coats arrive to cart Tinker off he becomes less car-like and the novelty, having achieved its purpose, is more-or-less faded out.
Tinker owns a light-house! It's situated at a place called Demon's Rocks which is about ten miles (eighteen kilometres) from Kirrin Bay and it was originally bought by Professor Hayling who needed a place near water where he could work at his experiments with no disturbances. When he had completed his scientific work he couldn't sell the place so he gave it to his son. Will the Famous Five plus Tinker and pet be allowed to holiday by themselves in a light-house? It might be possible because the scientists have had enough of four children, a dog and a monkey tearing about all over the place. "Yes!" shouts Quentin. "Go to the light-house — go to the Tower of London — go and live at the Zoo, if you like ... just GET OUT!" (or words to that effect).
The children arrange everything which is just as well seeing that Quentin and his associate are lost to the world and Fanny (George's mother) has her time taken up keeping an eye them. They prepare their holiday gear and as it is 1961 they are able to include a portable record-player for a little entertainment during their next awesome adventure. A car with a driver is hired and they set off to experience a scenario envisioned by George: "... all alone high up in an old light-house with nothing but wind and waves around ... snuggled down in rugs and waking up to hear the wind and the waves again!"
They arrive, settle in, and partake of a tea-sup — a phrase which the historians can attribute to Dick, and then it is time for the part, as always, where an elderly gentleman tells them a story of old times. Enter an ancient individual named Jeremiah Boogle who is the Great Grand-dad of the chauffer who brought them to Demon's Rocks. The children plus dog search him out and hear the long ago tale of One-Ear Bill, Nosey his son, and a nephew called Bart and how they stole treasure from ships which they lured onto the rocks by using their own innovative method. The ill-gotten gains were hidden by One-Ear Bill before he was captured and imprisoned and not even his partners in crime knew the location. To this day, no one has found the cache although it has been searched for repeatedly.
On their return to the light-house they discover that, having forgotten to lock the door, someone has sneaked in, burgled the place and swiped the key as well! A policeman calls and reveals the fact that a descendant of the original wreckers is living in the village and he is naturally placed under suspicion but under questioning denies having any part in the matter.
A wet spell arrives and for something to do the Five develop an interest in the lighthouse and its foundations and they begin exploring. This usually leads to something and sure enough a shaft is found which goes down below the sea to a tunnel. Then an outing with Jeremiah Boogle to the cliffs further round the bay yields caves for them to explore and they come across a man who is anything but friendly. Something is found by one of the troupe and this leads to great excitement and anticipation. Unfortunately for them, when they return to the light-house a rather unpleasant happening forces them to stay there but being the resourceful children they are, a solution to their plight is attempted which leads to a dangerous situation intertwined with surprises and thrills. Near the end, there is still a problem to overcome but a brilliant idea which makes an impact on the whole village leads to the finish of this nineteenth adventure of the Famous Five.
It is worthy of mention that the pictures as drawn by Eileen Soper lean once again to displaying a little more youthfulness in the children. Readers who possess newer editions of the Kirrin books may or may not find them enhanced with the Soper pictures and if not, it is worth trying to find older copies so that the stories can be read as they should be with the authenticity needed for a fair appraisal. The updating of the EB books can lead to some confusion especially for those who are not all that familiar with the Kirrins and also for people who are interested in studying and commenting on Classic Blyton. The ageing of the Famous Five (or at least four of them) would mean nothing if the Soper illustrations weren't available and instead the reader had to rely on those from an artist such as Betty Maxey. Say no more!
Another rather annoying case in point for the Classic Enthusiast is the alteration of scripts — an example of which can be found in this very book. The children go shopping for some tobacco to give to old Jeremiah Boogle and in the picture it looks as if the shopkeeper is handing the packet over to Julian ... "There you are young sir — three shillings, please!" — yet on the next page the proprietor says that he'll give it to Jeremiah when he calls in. Later on they come across old Jeremiah, and Dick says that he hopes they bought the right tobacco for him! That's a bit muddling and it can become more so when "tobacco" is changed to "sweets" in re-vamped editions. In the film Five on a Treasure Island, George's mother- Fanny, had her named changed to Margaret! Quentin, her husband seemed to have a different occupation as well so I reiterate that it's worth looking around for older copies of the books in order to lessen the confusion and they don't have to be too ancient — hence expensive, because I found a 1980 paperback of Demon's Rocks which contains the original script. The older versions may probably be required by the more in-depth devotees of the author as well — purely as a matter of course.

WASHINGTON Every family has its lore, and for South Dakotans a couple of generations removed from the frontier, such stories can be poignant, entertaining and, in these times, especially relevant.
One of the most compelling legends in my wife's family tells of how her great grandfather, a Swedish immigrant by way of Chicago, spent his first winter in South Dakota's Harding County living in a dugout with a wagon for a roof. He came west to homestead around the turn of the last century and arrived late one fall, as winter was setting in. If you have traversed that stretch of the extreme northwestern corner of the state, you know that trees are about as rare as Sasquatch sightings. Short of time and timber, with winter winds howling, her forefather dug a hole in the ground, tipped his supply wagon over for cover, and endured his first winter literally in Dakota earth.
But the family persevered, put down roots, built houses and barns, raised families, and eventually moved East River in search of pasture when the Dust Bowl hit. A century and change later, their descendants are spread over South Dakota and the world.
This story brings peculiar comfort at the oddest times, like now.
Part of my job is to sift through reams of data about American public opinion. In 30-plus years, from the long national nightmare of Watergate to Jimmy Carter's crisis of confidence, through war and impeachment and 9/11, I have never seen the public as sour and down as it is right now. Collectively, we're in that hole with the winds howling above. Unlike my wife's ancestors, however, there appears to be no trust in the blessedly inevitable spring.
For this I blame a relentlessly negative political culture, including my own profession as it has morphed more and more into a stenographer's service for bomb throwers and name callers, and a platform for the most partisan among us. Words have become weapons in a war to win the moment as we have regressed into this 24-hour media world. No wonder it has become so difficult for average Americans to believe in the spring.
After recently observing a focus group of "Wal-Mart moms" — middle-class mothers struggling to raise families — former Newt Gingrich spokesman Tony Blankley said he was struck by "the utter non-ideology of the non-activist voter," and opined that "when we in Washington communicate on an ideological basis, we communicate in a void."
So here we are in Campaign '10: One side is issuing apocalyptic warnings that the governing party is taking us into permanent decline, with some claiming that the president hates America and is a socialist and may not even have been born here. The other side wages class warfare that many Americans intuitively understand is designed to divide them, and it tries to scare people into believing that they're about to be governed by extremists planning to steal their Social Security and start a second Great Depression.
The cold, hard truth is that American politics, as is currently practiced, has institutionalized a fear of the future that would have driven my wife's great-grandfather into permanent despondency. It would have driven any man to pack up and leave.
Two years ago, before your government stepped in to bail out Wall Street, car companies and homeowners with bad mortgages, Mental Health America released a study that ranked South Dakotans as the least mentally depressed in the nation. They based it on factors ranging from suicide to the average number of days in the past 30 that citizens reported that their mental health was not good.
That ranking struck me as surprising, given the grinding poverty on South Dakota's Indian reservations and the toll that isolation on the depopulating prairies can take on mind and soul. There is a reason Giants in the Earth is a Great Plains classic.
But upon deeper retrospect, the mental health grade made sense for this reason: Once you've survived a South Dakota winter, you develop absolute faith in the spring. Your outlook is built on a faith-in-the-future bedrock.
At a town hall meeting on the economy last week, President Obama was confronted by a woman who identified herself as a financial officer for a veterans' service organization and parent of two kids in private school. She said she had been a supporter but was "deeply disappointed with where we are right now." She was, she said, "exhausted defending you."
Obama, an uncomfortable smile on his face, argued that things are "moving in the right direction."
Perhaps they are, but he has yet to convince most Americans of that. But is that really the president's job? For that ancestor who endured that cold South Dakota winter in the ground, exhaustion was likely a daily reality. He survived on faith in himself, and in the spring.

Reinforcing the 'no sex we're British' myth and misunderstanding data along the way
October 25th, 2006
Dr Petra
Fairly often I have a 'why do I bother working with the media?' day, and today is one of them. Yesterday I did a straightforward interview with a journalist from The Telegraph who managed to misquote me and now a number of other papers have copied and run with the story compounding the error.
So what happened? A journalist from the Telegraph writing about new research from the Office of National Statistics (ONS) contacted me yesterday. Their study of sexual habits found in the past year one in six men had not had a sexual partner and most of the respondents who had had sex were in a monogamous relationship.
That's not particularly surprising since it's common for people to be single and also the majority of people still aim to be in monogamous relationships. You can read the full Telegraph report here
The journalist who called me was clearly going for a 'loss of libido' and 'reduced sexual interest crisis' angle with their story – interpreting that people weren't having sex that much as an indication we were losing interest in sex as a nation.
I explained in detail how within our current culture we overemphasise the importance of sex – with incorrect PR or commercial 'sex surveys' hyping up both the visibility of this issue and the idea that sex is something we are (or should be) doing very frequently, and that we're all into casual sex. That's why the findings seemed shocking to the journalist but weren't particularly shocking to me. More reputable data always indicates people have a range of sexual experiences and the average amount of activity is often lower than we would think. Of course the crucial issue is not how much you do it, but whether you enjoy it when you do – a factor that isn't always apparent in research but a vital question needed to interpret data on sexual behaviour.
The report was interpreted by the paper (and countless others who've picked up the story) as showing we're a 'sexless' society. This is an interpretation too far. Because people are monogamous and having sex less frequently than media hype might have us believe does not mean they are dissatisfied with their sex lives. And it assumes that single people are 'sexless' – which ignores the fact that many single people will still enjoy pleasure from masturbation. The data also needs slightly closer scrutiny since people often interpret 'sex' to mean 'intercourse' meaning activities that included oral sex, mutual masturbation, kissing and so on may not have been perceived or reported by respondents as sex.
It's clear that the media is now so used to believing the incorrect information they report on sex that they cannot recognise or correctly interpret reliable sex research data. And when such data appears it is spun to indicate some form of sexual deficit or crisis – which is not accurate and in turn makes people feel bad or anxious about their sex lives. And also permits those with commercial interests to take advantage.
You can see this within the Telegraph report where an expert is cited as saying we're 'behind' the rest of Europe in terms of frequency of sexual activity. Not necessarily so – some countries may report more sex than we do but again that doesn't mean they're having better sex or we need to catch up. And for many poorer countries within Western and Eastern Europe lack of contraception or sex education as well as cultural concerns over sex means people do not have sex as much as we do. This kind of interpretation makes no real sense unless you're planning some kind of Eurovision Sex Contest.
Whilst the Telegraph piece does correctly indicate life stressors can get in the way of sex, again it implies that not having sex on a daily or weekly basis is a deficit or problem – without knowing how often couples have had sex you can't claim they've suddenly dropped their sexual activity. And most couples who do report having sex less than in the past say the quality of their sex life is still good, so long as their relationship is happy.
Whilst the Telegraph piece does record some of the data from the ONS report it then moves to stack up their story with the following….
"Findings presented to the World Congress of Sexology in Paris showed a quarter of British women had sex once a month or less, more than in any other country studied. British women were also the least likely to have sex five times a month. Only 22 per cent reported enjoying conjugal relations that often, compared to a third each of French, Swiss, German women and 27 per cent of Italians. Half of British women said they had seen a drop in their sex drive recently, and two thirds said they had become less interested in sex over the last five years".
What does this mean? We're not told who did the research presented at the conference, was it an independent piece of research or a pharmaceutically funded promotional project? Was it was published anywhere and who were the respondents? It implies that this was a study completed by the World Congress of Sexology, rather than a paper presented at their conference – which took place five years ago. It's quite clearly a case of 'quick! Have to find some sex data to fit my story angle, type something into google and write down what you get'. Worrying given there are robust data on Britain's' sexual activity easily available from a number of reputable UK journals that pretty much supports the ONS data. Why wasn't that information accessed?
This story keeps coming back to the data implying we've got a national 'loss of libido' which isn't true – basically it's just showing across the UK in general people have an average amount of sex (and most are probably happy with what they have or might like a little more, circumstances permitting). It doesn't show that we've suddenly hit a downward spiral in sexual activity – although you can bet because of this poorly interpreted study magazines and other publishing outlets, not to mention commercial ventures, will now be claiming a crisis that needs fixing. Watch out for 'sex tips to boost your libido' coming your way soon.
Apart from feeling disappointed that this story could have been a whole lot better, the reason why I'm having the off-day with the media is due to a misquote within the Telegraph piece. Whilst they did correctly quote me in most of the piece they misquoted me as saying "we are not a nation that sleeps around or takes risks." Now this isn't accurate, it makes me look like I don't know about sexual health and hadn't read the ONS report, and it wasn't what I said. I'd explained how existing incorrect sex 'data' suggests we're all having casual sex, sleeping around and taking risks'. That's not the same as a claim we're not a nation who takes risks because quite simply within our population there are a great many people who do. Overall they may not be the statistical majority, but they pose a risk to their own and others health by not practising safer sex.
Whilst this may seem like a small issue to the journalist and perhaps to others, I know my peers will be happy to rebuke me for seemingly not knowing my stuff and giving the wrong impression about sexual health, and it doesn't help wider sexual health campaigns if we imply there's no problem in the UK which there clearly is. It's an area I work in on a daily basis so I'm annoyed to see it misrepresented in the papers and I can only imagine colleagues working in sexual health clinics will be even crosser.Because the media feeds off itself countless other papers have all picked up on the same story, mostly misquoting me further as saying 'we're not a promiscuous nation' (which I never said at all), but perhaps unsurprisingly not quoting my key message – which is sex data is largely misrepresented, the ONS findings are right, there is no loss of libido crisis but we still have a lot of sexual health problems to fix.
Until we can trust journalists do really understand data and not agenderise stories we won't see reliable information in the press, the public will continue to be misled, and people like me will continue to think twice about whether to help journalists explain it via the media.Tweet

Disagreement with fellow Statendam cruisers.....: Statendam Cruise Review by Matotex
Overall Member Rating
Disagreement with fellow Statendam cruisers.....
Destination: Alaska
Embarkation: Vancouver
We just returned from a 7 day inside passage trip on the Statendam leaving from Vancouver and departing in Skagway. We are a couple in our mid fifties and did find that we were probably on the younger side of many passengers, however the age of other passengers had absolutely nothing to do with how much we enjoyed the trip! We found many friendly people wherever we went whether it be at dinner, or on the many wonderful excursions we did. I would say that if you are going on the trip to specifically meet others your same age then no, Holland America to Alaska is probably not the best ship to be on. In our case, we were More going to be with each other, experience the beauty of Alaska, and enjoy what we found to be a spectacular cruise....with each other!
I would completely disagree that there was no fun to be had. After being on other cruises both alone and with our children, I would perhaps agree that the nightlife after 11:00 is not hopping, but we still enjoyed the casino and dancing until much later each and every night. The Crows Nest (bar with dancing) would stay open basically until everyone left and the staff always were there to add to the fun. After returning, our only semi complaint was wishing that the entertainment on the first night had not been so "hokie", and that our fairly new cruise director was at times a little "over the top" trying too hard.
We found our cabin to be spacious, the staff completely friendly and responsive, and the ports/excursions just amazing. I do not hold Holland America responsible for my ability to have fun, and dont believe others should either!!
I hope that my review gives other's a more accurate picture of such a wonderful trip. Believe me......you will have fun if you want to!! We sure did. Less

REFERENCES To the Editors: Several malignant neoplasms have been reported to arise within epidermoid cysts. These include basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, Merkel cell carcinoma,1 and mycosis fungoides.2 We report an epidermoid cyst with features of vacuolar interface dermatitis and lichenoid keratosis. The lesion was a 2-cm smooth, mobile nodule on the upper back of a 54-year-old white male. Microscopic examination showed a cystic structure lined by atrophic squamous epithelium and containing keratin. The wall of the cyst showed a band-like lymphocytic infiltrate in close approximation to the basement membrane with focal vacuolization of the basal layer, mimicking both a vacuolar interface dermatitis and benign lichenoid keratosis (Figs. 1 and 2). There was no evidence of cyst rupture, granulomatous inflammation, or keratinocyte atypia. Figure 1 Figure 2 Although there is one report of lichen planus occurring in the lining of an epidermoid cyst in a patient with extensive lichen planus,3 our patient had no lesions elsewhere to suggest lichen planus or a lichenoid interface dermatitis. Thus, the pathogenesis of the findings of vacuolar interface dermatitis and lichenoid keratosis in our patient's cyst is unclear, but our report adds to the literature another histopathologic finding that may be seen within epidermoid cysts.

John Smeaton's comments in interviews after the incident brought him worldwide fame and turned him into a cult internet hero.
However, as he arrived for work, he insisted the events of the past few weeks had not changed him.
After meeting managers he went back to work supervising the loading of bags.
He said: "I'm the same person. People notice me now but I'm just the same John, I'm just bog-standard run-of-the-mill John.
"I know certain things have changed but I'm not going to let it change me."
Mr Smeaton, from Erskine, Renfrewshire, was off work for a month after the attack as he recovered from the traumatic experience.
On his last memorable shift on 30 June he helped police overpower a terror suspect.
However, he insisted he had put the bad memories behind him.
He said: "I've got rid of the bad memories.
"I had them for a couple of weeks but they disappeared. You've just got to get on with your life and you cannot let it affect you. If you let it affect you then they win."
After the attack, a website was set up in his honour and fans pledged to buy him a pint as a reward for his bravery.
Mr Smeaton later announced he would give £2,100 of the money raised to veterans' charity Erskine, while he would use the rest to fund a night out for those who were present at the Glasgow Airport incident.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 28/11/2013 (1333 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Optimism about the province's economic future slipped among provincial business leaders this year, according to Probe Research's annual Manitoba Business Leaders' Index.
The annual survey of 200 business leaders, released exclusively to the Winnipeg Free Press, shows 70 per cent of business leaders are optimistic about the province's economic future, down from 78 per cent a year ago and 74 per cent in 2011.
There is typically not a lot of fluctuation in sentiments regarding business and hiring expectations from year to year in the survey. (It is considered to be accurate with positive or negative 6.9 per cent of what the results would be had the entire population of Manitoba business leaders been surveyed.)
But Curtis Brown, Probe's senior research associate said, "When it comes to something like this -- economic confidence down a bit -- that's something that stood out."
Brown said at 70 per cent people are still quite optimistic. He said the decline in confidence could have something to do with concerns about provincial government policies such as the increase in the provincial sales tax and issues around getting the provincial deficit under control.
"Some businesses would be concerned about that," Brown said. "We are seeing economic recovery in other areas like Alberta and Saskatchewan. Those province are growing at a healthy rate and so there may be a lack of confidence here relative to that."
But even if there is less confidence about the economy as a whole, business people are increasingly confident their own businesses will perform better a year from now with 52 per cent expressing confidence, up from 47 per cent last year.
While that increase falls within the 6.9 per cent margin of error and is not statistically relevant, it's not surprising.
"Business people are programmed by nature to be optimistic. It's part of their character -- they have to think things will be better," said Scott McKay, president and CEO of Probe.
When it comes to a softening of confidence about the province, McKay said the increase in the sales tax did not help.
"Whether it affects the bottom line or not, it's emblematic of things that are wrong," said McKay. "It (the sales tax increase) is one way we can tell things are wrong. That's probably more what it is."
Chuck Davidson, president and CEO of the Manitoba Chambers of Commerce, said the province's handling of the PST increase has not gone over well with the business community, but that's not the only issue.
"I think the PST has really soured the optimism of a lot of Manitoba businesses," Davidson said. "We hear it all the time about how it makes us more uncompetitive, specifically with Saskatchewan."
On top of that there are other indicators, Davidson pointed out, that do not paint the provincial economy in the best light. Earlier this week, Statistics Canada reported there was no growth in average weekly earnings in Manitoba from September 2012 to September 2013, compared to a 2.9 per cent increase in Saskatchewan, and October's inflation rate was higher in Manitoba than anywhere else in the country.
"There are a whole bunch of variables in the economy that are not great for Manitoba," Davidson said. "We just plug away. Businesses do not close down. But could it be better? Absolutely."


text: There are as many different regimes of gun control in America as there are states in America, and Americans intend to keep it that way for many reasons. Here is one. The amendment protects the rights of the states to maintain their own militia, or 'armed citizenry,' independent of federal forces. This was established as a safeguard against oppression, either domestic or foreign. If you think this is a peculiar idea of Americans, look at the list of which other countries besides America have citizens who intend to remain armed. Number three on the global list of civilian gun ownership is Switzerland, a country with an historical understanding of the importance of an armed citizenry. The Swiss have 46 firearms per 100 of population. Yet there the rate of homicide by firearm per 100,000 of population is just 0.77 percent. Fourth on the list is Finland with 45 firearms per 100 population. The rate of homicide by firearm in Finland is 0.45 per 100,000 of population.
