When It Comes to Your Heart, Play Smart!
February 2, 2017
You probably already know that heart disease is the number one killer of both men and women in the U.S., and that it's important to play smart with your heart. There are a couple of simple, practical things you can do to stay on top of your heart game.
Did you know walking for as few as 30 minutes per day can improve your heart health and quality of life? And it doesn't have to be hardcore, rigorous exercise. It can be as simple as taking a walk around the block. Studies show that for every hour of walking, you may increase your life expectancy by two hours. Regular walking can improve your cholesterol, lower your blood pressure, increase your energy and stamina, and prevent weight gain. And it's adaptable to a busy schedule. Try breaking up your 30-minute walk into three, 10-minute walk breaks throughout the day – before work, during lunch or after dinner – whatever works best for you and is easy to maintain. However you choose to do it, your heart will thank you.
Know Your Numbers
Taking an active role in your health can help you ensure a long and healthy life. One step in taking charge of your heart health is knowing three key numbers:
Blood pressure
One in three adults in the U.S. has high blood pressure. It's important to know what your blood pressure is and if it falls in the normal range, which is below 120/80.
Cholesterol levels
The numbers to strive for are:
Total cholesterol: 200 or below
HDL (good cholesterol): 50 or higher for women/40 or higher for men
LDL (bad cholesterol): 100 or below
Triglycerides: 150 or below
Waist size
According to the American Heart Association, your waist size is one of the best predictors of heart disease risk. A waist size equal to or greater than 35 inches in women and equal to or greater than 40 inches in men increases the risk of heart disease.
Understanding these three numbers and what they mean can help ensure that you're on the right path to optimum heart health. Remember to schedule your annual screening with your primary care doctor. It's the perfect opportunity to get your latest numbers. If you don't have a primary care doctor, use our Physician Finder or call the Physician and Service Referrals at 1-800-424-DOCS (3627) to set up an appointment today. Now is the perfect time to schedule your annual checkup if you haven't already.
While heart disease may be the number one killer of men and women in the U.S., the good news is that taking a couple of simple steps can help you improve your heart health today!
Four Surprising Things That Can Boost Your Heart Health
Dark chocolate. Yep. You heard us. Dark chocolate contains polyphenols, which reduce the number of cell-damaging free radicals in your body. Just don't go overboard – research suggests indulging three times a month.
Be a good neighbor. Next time you see your neighbor, say hi! According to a University of Michigan study, people who felt like a part of their community, trusted their neighbors, and felt safe were 34 percent less likely to have a heart attack.
Get a flu shot. According to a study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, getting a flu shot reduces a person's risk of having a heart attack by roughly 36 percent. So, don't skip your annual flu shot!
Drink coffee. Make it a grande. A Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health survey showed that drinking three to five cups of coffee a day may reduce the risk of developing clogged arteries and may reduce a person's risk of developing type 2 diabetes.

Norwich North MP Ian Gibson and Norfolk North MP Norman Lamb tabled Parliamentary questions to Culture Secretary Andy Burnham on the subject, wanting to know whether this was the match the FA were investigating.
Asked for his opinion on the MPs' actions, Pearson told Sky Sports News: "I think they should be looking at events closer to home and maybe looking at crime on their own doorstep, people getting murdered in their city centres and the financial turmoil."
Lamb told the Press Association that the allegations related to unusual patterns of online betting in Asia during the course of the October 4 match at Carrow Road, which Derby won 2-1.
The FA have subsequently confirmed that is the match under investigation, but Pearson appeared unhappy that his team had been named.
He added: "They should leave football to the FA and the Football League. They have obviously got another political agenda they want to stoke up here with Norwich and unfortunately Derby are being dragged into it as well.
"But I'm sure over the coming weeks it will disappear as these stories normally do. We are not concerned about it in any way and if we are asked to comply, we'll comply."
Norwich chief executive Neil Doncaster has revealed the club are yet to be contacted by the Football Association over the allegations, but admits he was disappointed with the way in which the matter was raised.
"We understand from the FA that they are currently investigating allegations about our game with Derby County but we haven't had any contact from the FA," he told the club's official website, www.canaries.co.uk.
"Of course if we do so then we will help as best we can with their inquiries, we have no reason to believe their is anything amiss at Carrow Road."

- Illinois Statewide Archaeological Survey - University of Illinois09.Feb 2016
- Employee
Suggestions for improvement
- Competitive wages and benefits. Some realistic hope for advancement (no solution for this in sight under current operating paradigm).
- Pay people and stop wasting their time.
What I like about the company
Entry level training. They are transitioning to an LTE appointment system, which should make it clear that all positions are short term, insecure student job and not a job for a professional.
What I dislike about the company
Zero hope for advancement. Internship wages makes a standard employees earnings less than other university positions such as cafeteria server. Lack of competitive pay is a known fact industry wide and the positions have been carefully worded to not reflect the actual responsibilities, which would require a significantly greater pay scale than what is currently supplied.

Holding the rank of Admiral, he served as the commanding officer of Task Force 11 during Operation Thunderbolt, his flagship at the time being RHNS New Republic. He retook the Thetis System in the Second Battle of Thetis. (HH10)

Is it food? Yes it is. This, believe it or not, is a 'modernist' take on the humble jam on toast.
The brains behind a cookbook series that's been described as the most astonishing and most important of its kind in the 21st century have released details on their next project: a cookery book on the art of breadmaking.
If Modernist Cuisine is anything to go by, expect the follow-up book on bread to be written with a startling amount of fastidious detail, scientific rigour, stunning photography and illustrations.
Like the six-volume, 2,438-page encyclopaedic magnum opus that is Modernist Cuisine, The Cooking Lab's next project is described as an in-depth, multi-volume set that will delve into the history, science and techniques of breadmaking. The series is being pitched for amateur home bakers, restaurants and small-scale bakeries.
Why bread? "Because it's so ubiquitous that we now have vast, daunting selections of breads to choose from at most grocery chains," reads a blog post on the Modernist Cuisine website.
"Many of us have started taking the bread course for granted when dining out. But bread shouldn't be an afterthought on the table or simply a building block for sandwiches – breaking open a good loaf of bread, fresh from the oven, is an experience that can evoke nostalgia for years to follow."
While the team also points out that baking bread at home is seen as an intimidating process, it remains to be seen if their next series will help take the mystery out of bread making or inspire home cooks to take up the task.
Though it was vaunted as a landmark cookery series by master chefs and foodie elite when it was released in 2011, Modernist Cuisine was also criticised for being impractical and unrealistic for home chefs. Recipe instructions call for equipment like homogenisers and centrifuges and obscure ingredients like hydrocolloids and emulsifiers – definitely not things one can easily find at an average supermarket.
Leading the bread project, meanwhile, will be Francisco Migoya, the former executive pastry chef at the French Laundry and professor at the Culinary Institute of America, as well as Peter Reinhart, a teacher, chef and best-selling author of nine cookery books on bread.
The Cooking Lab, meanwhile, is a multi-disciplinary food and research lab that birthed Modernist Cuisine and is the brainchild of Nathan Myhrvold, whose resume is a colorful and astonishing CV dotted with stints as a chief technology officer at Microsoft and postdoctoral physics protege under Stephen Hawking at Cambridge University. – AFP/RelaxNews

Generic Drugs Market in Japan 2015-2019
About Generic Drugs A generic drug is a duplicate of brand-name drugs and has the same dosage form, active ingredient(s), potency, route of administration, quality, and intended use as that of branded drugs. Generic drugs enter the market once the patent protection of the original developer expires. Generally, the cost of generic drugs is 50-70 percent lower than that of their brand-name counterparts, while meeting the very same standards of safety, quality, and efficacy as the innovator drugs. Generic drugs help the manufacturer by eliminating the need to develop and market a new drug. As the patent approaches expiration, manufacturers can apply to the FDA for approval to manufacture and sell generic versions of the drug. Generic drugs are equal to and within the bioequivalence range of branded drugs. TechNavio's analysts forecast the Generic Drugs market in Japan to grow at a CAGR of 8.16 percent over the period 2014-2019.

Anyone who owns a Mercedes-Benz knows that when it comes to repairing their vehicle only the highest quality replacement parts will do. Auto enthusiasts appreciate the a reliable name built into each Mercedes-Benz, and understand that only the highest quality replacement CL500 parts will suffice when maintenance needs to be done. Make no mistake, you bought your CL500 because you understood you would be getting best-in-class service and dependability both impeccably combined into one automobile. It's not every day that you realize that you have to buy a replacement Vapor Canister Purge Solenoid Valve to fix your car or truck.
Some of the most effective emissions reduction equipment on automobiles today also helps improve gas mileage. One part on your Mercedes-Benz CL500 that does both jobs is your vapor canister purge solenoid. This part is located on or near your gas tank, and when you start your engine the Mercedes-Benz CL500 vapor canister purge solenoid vents built-up gas vapor from inside the tank to your intake manifold so it can be used in combustion. If a burst of pressure or fuel vapor gets released when you open your gas cap, then the vapor canister purge valve may have failed.
At Car Parts Discount, we have live customer service members on the phone with enough expertise to help you buy the appropriate Mercedes-Benz CL500 part for your needs. Given all the trouble that can be involved with installing a part to fix your car or truck, let www.carpartsdiscount.com be the most authoritative website you go to make buying it easy.

Flotation restricted environmental stimulation therapy (REST) as a stress-management tool: A meta-analysis

1 Psychology and Health June, 2005, 20(3): Flotation restricted environmental stimulation therapy (REST) as a stress-management tool: A meta-analysis DIRK VAN DIERENDONCK 1 & JAN TE NIJENHUIS 2 1 Department of Work and Organizational Psychology, University of Amsterdam, The Netherlands and 2 Department of Social and Organizational Psychology, Leiden University, The Netherlands (Received 12 March 2004; in final form 9 December 2004) Abstract In this study we investigated the value of flotation Restricted Environmental Stimulation Therapy (REST) as a stress-management tool. We focused on the physiological effects of REST, its influence on well-being, and on performance. Twenty-seven studies published in 25 articles or book chapters were included in a meta-analysis. The total number of participants was 449, with a mean age of 29 years (ranging between 20 and 45). Sixty-four percent was male and 36% was female. The results showed that REST has positive effects on physiology (e.g., lower levels of cortisol, lower blood pressure), well-being, and performance. The pre post mean effect size and the overall randomized control group effect size were relatively strong. This suggests that despite some limitations of the original studies, flotation REST can be a useful stress management tool in addition to or instead of other stress management tools. Keywords: Flotation REST, stress management, well-being Secondary prevention is one of the approaches to effectively deal with stress and diminished well-being. It aims at reducing the severity of stress symptoms before they may become harmful (Murphy, 2002). Relaxation techniques are probably the most popular stressmanagement methods used in secondary prevention. These techniques focus on reducing muscle tension, calming the mind, reducing symptoms of stress, and improving wellbeing. Popular techniques are progressive muscle relaxation (PMR, Jacobson, 1938), biofeedback, autogenic training, and meditation. Studies have shown that such relaxation techniques are indeed successful in achieving their goals, namely the reduction of stress levels (Lohaus & Klein-Hessling, 2003; Murphy, 2002; van der Klink, Blonk, Schene & van Dijk, 2001).

The term REST was coined by Suedfeld (1980) as an alternative to the term sensory deprivation. We will hereby exclusively focus on flotation REST. Flotation REST aims at reducing the level of environmental stimulation to a minimum and achieving a sense of near weightlessness through floating in a salt-water solution. Chamber REST, where a participant lies on a bed for several hours (up to 24 h) in a room that is completely dark and soundproof, is beyond the scope of this article. Although chamber REST has been established as a intervention technique for the reduction or elimination of smoking, alcohol abuse and overeating (Suedfeld & Borrie, 1999), flotation REST has the advantage over chamber REST that it can easily be employed in a clinical or therapeutic setting due to its relative short duration of exposure. In a typical flotation REST session, participants are lying in a quiet, dark tank filled with water warmed to skin temperature and saturated with Epsom salts (Mg 2 SO 4 ). This solution allows the participant to float supine, with the face and ventral portion of the body above the water line. Due to the density of this salt-water solution, it is impossible to accidentally turn over, and participants may safely sleep or daydream. The tank usually resembles a large box or bathtub with a massive top that can be closed, so it becomes a completely dark and almost soundproof enclosure. An average flotation session takes around 45 min. This comfortable, controlled setting generally brings about an automatic relaxation response. A flotation session can be stopped at any desirable moment. In this article it is investigated whether flotation REST is an alternative or a supplement to other stress-management instruments. Previous research on REST was integrated using meta-analysis. Although there have been narrative reviews on REST (e.g., Suedfeld, 1980; Suedfeld & Borrie, 1999), up to now, no meta-analysis has been published. Flotation REST research can profit much from a quantitative review; many studies have only small sample sizes (less than ten subjects is no exception) which can lead to problems with meeting statistical assumptions, the estimation of parameters and the influence of outliers, thereby preventing generalization and making error variance a clear threat. Our research addresses the effects of flotation REST as a stress-management tool with a three-fold focus. First, following positive outcomes with other relaxation techniques (e.g., meditation and biofeedback), several researchers have focused on the extent that REST lowers blood pressure and brings down cortisol levels. Second, REST can be classified as emotion-focused coping, which primarily aims at the reduction or eliminating the symptoms of stress, the ultimate goal is a state of profound muscle relaxation that allows one to release stress and reduce levels of arousal. It is therefore likely that by reducing the heart rate and muscle tension, REST will make people feel better. Wickramasekera (1993) suggested that the sensory restriction during flotation REST and the muscle relaxation that results from floating in salt-water are important mechanisms for reducing sympathetic activity and negative affect. Third, the effect on performance is studied. Especially in situations requiring precise perceptual-motor coordination where high arousal is detrimental for optimal performance, for example, in sports like tennis and target shooting, it is to be expected that using a technique like REST may help to reduce the level of arousal whereby more optimal levels may be attained and performance improved. Other relaxation techniques have also shown to be effective in sports (e.g., biofeedback, DeWitt, 1980). Our central research question, therefore, is to what extent flotation REST can be a useful stress-management tool. Using meta-analysis, we will focus first on its physiological effects, then on the influence on well-being, and finally we will study its effects on performance.
3 Flotation REST meta-analysis 407 Method Search and inclusion criteria First, a computerized search into the two databases Medline and Psycinfo ( ) was used to identify appropriate studies for the present meta-analysis. The following search terms were used: REST and Restricted Environmental Stimulation. Second, the studies cited in the review article of Suedfeld and Borrie (1999) were checked. Third, conference proceedings of the International Conference on REST and Self-regulation were scanned for unpublished studies. There were two main criteria for studies to be included into the meta-analysis: (1) They had to examine the effects of flotation REST, and (2) the outcomes had to be either physiological measures directly related to activation (e.g., blood pressure, level of cortisol, and level of adrenaline), psychological measures of well-being (e.g., negative or positive affectivity), or performance outcomes of activities involving a physiological component (e.g., archery, basketball). There were no qualitative criteria on the basis of which studies could be excluded. Any study that reported the necessary information to calculate an effect size was included. Statistical analysis The statistical analyses were conducted according to the guidelines provided by Lipsey and Wilson (2001). Their book provides formulas to calculate Cohen s d directly from means and standard deviations and indirectly from several other statistics (e.g., F, t, r, and p). Cohen s d represents the standardized mean difference between either the pre-intervention mean and post-intervention mean or the experimental group mean and the control group mean. For studies that used multiple outcomes variables, the effect sizes were averaged into one Cohen s d. The MS Excel Effect Size Computation Program developed by Wilson (see Lipsey & Wilson, 2001) was used to compute effect sizes. In calculating the mean effect size across studies, the standard error of the effect size should be taken into account (Hedges & Olkin, 1985). Smaller samples give larger standard errors, and a larger standard error leads to a less precise effect size. To deal with varying sample sizes, the recommended weight given to each study is the inverse of its squared standard error value (for an elaborate explanation see Lipsey & Wilson, 2001). The mean effect sizes of the studies in a meta-analysis usually show variance. A homogeneity analysis is employed to determine whether the variance of effect sizes among the studies is larger than could be expected from chance alone. In a homogeneous distribution, the effect sizes are spread around the mean, the deviation being not larger than could be expected from the sampling error alone. The homogeneity test used in this study is based on the Q-statistic, which has a chi-square distribution. Additional analyses into possible moderating effects are only warranted when the value of Q reaches significance. Results Description of studies Twenty-seven studies published between 1983 and 2002 in 25 articles or book chapters met the required criteria. Fifteen studies were published in peer-reviewed journals; the remaining 12 were published in books based on papers presented at one of the yearly conferences on REST. Ten studies included physiological measures (e.g., cortisol or adrenaline levels, and blood pressure levels). Ten studies included measures of well-being

Seven studies included performance measures (e.g., archery performance and flight performance). The quality of the designs and of the reported data varied. Seventeen studies used a randomized control group design. Ten other studies reported only pre- and post-data. In order to retain as much of the information in the original studies as possible, both the pre post effect sizes and the randomized control group effect sizes are reported. The pre post effect size compares the mean on a particular dependent variable before and after the floating sessions. The randomized control group effect size, then compares the mean on the dependent variable of the experimental group with that of the control group. The control conditions differed among the studies. Persons were either asked to participate in a relaxation exercise (n ¼ 5), to sit alone on a couch in silence (n ¼ 7), to do a biofeedback exercise (n ¼ 2), or were free to do what they wanted without any explicit instruction (n ¼ 3). As can be seen from Table I, the number of participants in the studies varied considerably, ranging from 4 to 80. The total number of participants was 449, with a mean age of 29 years (ranging between 20 and 45). Sixty-four percent was male, 36% female. There was also a considerable range in the time frame of the studies, about half the studies (13 to be exact) focused on the effects of one session, other studies asked the participants to return for more sessions (up to once week) within a time period ranging from 2 to 28 weeks.

The differences in mean effect size between the three outcome measures approach significance (Q (2) ¼ 5.54, p ¼ 0.06). The mean effect size for the physiological measures (d ¼ 1.02; Q (9) ¼ 15.12, p ¼ 0.09) and the well-being measures (d ¼ 1.09; Q (7) ¼ 26.03, p < 0.001) are similar. The homogeneity analysis indicates a heterogeneous distribution for the studies using well-being measures. The mean effect size for performance is lower than the mean effect size for the other two measures, although still large (d ¼ 0.76; Q (5) ¼ 4.23, p ¼ 0.52); the distribution appears to be homogeneous. Given the heterogeneous distribution of the effect sizes using the well-being measures, it was investigated whether the time frame of the study was of any influence on the degree in which changes in well-being took place. It was hypothesized that participants who had used flotation REST for a longer period of time would show a greater improvement in well-being. This was confirmed by the outcomes of the analysis (Q (1) ¼ 7.59, p ¼ 0.005). The mean effect size of short-term studies (with a time frame of three weeks or shorter) was 0.87 (95% confidence interval: ); for the long-term studies (with a time frame of six months) the mean effect size was 1.25 (95% confidence interval: ). For studies with a randomized control group design, Table III shows an overall effect size of The homogeneity analysis shows that the distribution of the effect sizes around the mean effect size is homogeneous (Q (16) ¼ 11.53, p ¼ 0.78). Although the differences in mean effect size between the three outcome measures are not significant (Q (2) ¼ 2.87, p ¼ 0.23), we do report them in Table III in order to give a complete overview of the scores. The mean effect size of the physiological measures is 0.59 (Q (4) ¼ 0.81, p ¼ 0.94), for the well-being measures the mean effect size is 0.92 (Q (4) ¼ 0.09, p ¼ 0.99), and for the performance measures the mean effect size is 0.65 (Q (4) ¼ 7.76, p ¼ 0.26). Discussion The central aim of this study was to investigate the extent to which flotation REST could be useful as a stress-management tool. The results showed that REST has positive effects on outcomes relating to physiology, well-being, and performance. The overall pre post mean
6 410 D. V. Dierendonck & J. T. Nijenhuis effect size was The overall randomized control group effect-size was Flotation REST appeared to be more effective compared to other stress reduction techniques, such as relaxation exercises, biofeedback or sitting comfortably on a couch. In the meta-analysis of van der Klink et al. (2001), relaxation techniques (which did not include REST) showed a mean effect size of This indicates that REST can be considered a technique with impact similar to that of other, more popular, stress management techniques. Compared to other studies on stress and coping (Lipsey & Wilson, 1993), the effects of flotation REST could even be considered high. Their distribution of mean effect sizes among 300 meta-analyses of psychological, educational, and other behavioral interventions, shows that an effect size of 0.73 belongs to the top 25% of effect sizes. The enhanced effects of REST on well-being found in the long-term studies suggest that the effects of REST become stronger through repeated exposure. It may indicate that participants learned to profit more from their sessions, and that its effects were better integrated. As such, it becomes plausible that the beneficial effects remained after persons ended their REST sessions. Regretfully, no study has yet been conducted with a follow-up weeks (or months) after the last session. Nevertheless, given the lack of standardization of the frequency and duration of the sessions, this long-term effect is noteworthy. Regretfully, the available data does not allow for an exact advice on how many sessions of REST to recommend. We can, however, conclude that more sessions, taken over a longer period of time, are likely to give a better result. Regretfully, there are two limitations to this meta-analysis that preclude making strong generalizations. The most important limitation of this meta-analysis is the generally small sample sizes of the studies included, which results in a rather high error variance; that could explain why we failed to find any differential effects between various conditions. Missing data and/or outliers are likely to have a huge effect. With small sample sizes, if a few people who do not respond well to REST drop out of the study, the remaining effect size will be quite high. Due to their specific character, REST studies are likely to evoke self-selection bias. It is less likely that such processes explain the effect sizes found in the randomized control-group studies. Nevertheless, one might argue that within these studies, resentful demoralization exists within the control groups. However, the correlation between number of people in a study and effect size was 0.07 (n.s.) with pre post effect size and 0.22 (n.s.) with randomized control-group effect size, suggesting that the effects of the predominantly small group sizes is limited. A second limitation is the influence of sample bias ( file-drawer problem ). It may be that studies that revealed no significant effect have never been published, nor have been presented at conferences. The number of additional studies with a zero effect that are needed to significantly reduce the effect size can be calculated. For example, in order for the pre post mean effect size to be reduced to 0.50SD (which is still a moderate effect size), it would take 25 studies with a zero effect. For the mean effect in the randomized control group effect to be reduced to 0.50SD, it would still take eight studies with a zero effect. We can therefore conclude that sample bias is not likely to undermine our conclusions. The findings from our study suggest that flotation REST might be a valuable alternative to other stress-management techniques. It has relaxing, mood-, and performanceenhancing effects that seem to be more profound than those of other relaxation techniques. Especially in the field of burnout and chronic fatigue, REST could have practical use. Emotional demands are important causes for burnout, as are difficulties in letting go of the daily troubles and recharging after a day s work (Schaufeli & Buunk, 2002). Higher cortisol levels have been related to higher levels of exhaustion (Melamed et al., 1999). Our results show that REST is most effective particularly in those areas. REST is

Earth-loving, birth-loving, body-working, simple-livin' mama to two sweet girls and fiance to a hard-working man
Totally normal at this age - brain is working faster than she can articulate most likely - be patient and don't draw too much attention to it other than perhaps to help her slow down... if it continues and you feel concerned go ahead and get an eval from EI before she turns three (it's free) but I'm guessing she'll be fine in a few months - this is pretty classic actually...
It is common for it to come and go - so you may notice that she stops for a week or a month, and then has another recurrence. This is normal. It may also increase if she is tired or stressed. If she cannot get words out, is becoming frustrated, and/or if you notice it's starting to involve facial muscles (grimacing or a tic) those are red flags.
It really freaked us out when our dd started doing this - talking with a few professionals (an early interventionist and the SLP) was really helpful - calming. Good luck to you!
My DD2 did it as well at age 2. It lasted several months and then was gone. Like others have said, it is normal, their brain is working faster then their mouths can keep up.

Family in Bear Creek
I am looking for a sitter in Bear Creek ASAP. I would prefer some one that is available to come to my home as it would be easier on my children and me, although I would consider bringing them to your home if it is on my way to work. Now about the job description: I have 2 kids, ages 4 and 9. I work weekend shift so I need some one who is available Friday-Sunday. I would need you to be at my house by 5am and I usually get home around 7:00pm. On Friday mornings, you would need to get the kids ready for school, feed them breakfast (cereal is fine) and get them on the bus. While the kids are in school on Fridays, you would have a bit of a break to do what you want or need in the morning, as long as you are back to the house when my son gets off the bus which will be around noon. You are welcome just to stay at the house during this time too if you prefer. While the kids are home, all that is expected of you is to keep the peace, keep them safe and do some light snack and meal prep. If you are interested please contact me ASAP so we can work out the details, talk about compensation and I can answer any questions you may have. Thanks!

There's something about those long grueling climbs that gets my front end all stiff... And I'm not talking about lockout...
Those are needed in case you need to shorten a hose.

A lot of the time people get so wrapped up in getting gifts for family and friends that they forget that the ones you should be giving thanks to the most are the people like your doorman, babysitter, hairdresser and barber, who provide you with everyday services that make your life that much more complete.
Holiday tipping or gift giving those who provide you year-long services is an etiquette must. Emily Post says it's the equivalent of saying thank you, and is most especially needed in these tough economic times. In case you need a little guidance on how to tip or what's an appropriate tip or gift for service providers, Centric has some fast tips for you to live by this holiday season.
Any gift or tip should be accompanied with a short handwritten note. This is a great opportunity to express your gratitude.
How Much to Tip
Tipping is contingent upon various factors like how long they've provided you with service and the nature of your relationship. Generally, you want to tip your barber the cost of one cut, while for your hairdresser you give the amount of one visit divided by each staff that works with you. Also, give live-in nannies, butlers, cooks or housekeepers up to one week's pay, plus a gift, and for personal trainers, give the amount of one session or a gift. For babysitters, the cost of one night is appropriate and for any other servicers like the doorman, mail deliver, handyman, personal trainer, etc, $10-$40 tips are most appropriate or a gift equivalent.
Set a Budget
The most important thing is to remember that you should give within your budget. Don't feel obligated to go above and beyond. It's the thought that counts.
Who to Tip
Here's a general list of people who should receive a holiday tip: hairdresser, barber, babysitter, nanny, cook, butler, housekeeper, doorman, personal trainer, daycare provider, mail carrier or deliver, home nurses, massage therapist, pool cleaner, superintendent, handyman, trash collectors, gardener, newspaper deliverer and dog walker.
