A cure for hospital tunnel vision: Peeking into the OR
More than a semester into nursing school, I realized that I'd been talking about "hospital nursing" as if it's this monochromatic, homogenous thing. Turns out it's not.
My first semester, I'd spent all of my clinical time on a medicine floor. In my second semester, I learned the Operating Room (OR) is a completely different world within the sphere of hospital nursing. On the day that I was to observe an operating room, I reported to the Weinberg OR first thing in the morning.
I was given a whole new set of scrubs, coat, shoe coverings, a scrub hat for my hair, and a mask. The circulating nurse walked me around the surgical suite, introduced me to more capped-and-masked people in one of the operating rooms, and left me there. For the first hour, I focused on staying as far from all of the sterile fields as possible and not sneezing.
Once I got a better handle on the rhythm of the OR (and became used to seeing only people's eyes above their masks), I emerged from my corner to get the best view of the operating table.
Folks who are focused on patient interaction: the OR is not for you. Our patient interaction was limited to "Hello! Okay, take slow deep breaths now … hello? Hello? Okay, he's out." On the other hand, if you're a gear-freak who likes high-tech gadgets and you're okay with a little gore, the OR is a pretty neat place.
The atmosphere of the OR was what made it so vastly different from the medicine floor. On the unit where I usually work, morning report almost always includes a reference to mood—irritable, tired, cheerful, withdrawn, chatty. In the OR, the focus was entirely on the mechanics of the job at hand. Comments that might have been considered callous in the presence of an ill patient—"Sweet! We get to use the laser today!"—went uncensored.
Before I left, I ran into a good friend who had recently been hired in the OR as a surgical technician. We traded news and talked about our respective roles in the hospital. "I'm just here for the day," I said. "I usually work up on Osler 8."
"What kind of a floor is that?" she asked. "Post-op? Or pre-op?"
"It's a medicine floor…" I said. "It's not necessarily pre- or post-op. Sometimes we just give people meds."
"Oh, yeah," she said. "I forget about those floors."
At least I'm not the only one with hospital tunnel vision.

After posting daily for Inktober, I'm being rather slow and lazy about posting the rest of our trip to Fredericksburg sketches. They will eventually show up here . . . But for now, this is what I drew last night while waiting for our meal to arrive.
Although Bill and I officially live in Brenham, we are actually much closer in distance to the small lake community of Somerville (once jokingly called "Some-other-ville" by a friend of ours). That's where our church family meets at Jubilee Christian Center.
Last night our church invited the local law enforcement members and their families to have dinner on us at the local Mexican restaurant, just to show our appreciation of the difficult and dangerous jobs they perform in service to the community. Everyone who was able to come enjoyed meeting the policemen and eating together. Instead of eating 'too many' tortilla chips, I drew what was in front of me.

Noise and the Neonate
Premature babies are fragile. One of their special needs is quiet time. In utero, the fetus is in deep sleep approximately 80% of the time with very few interruptions.1 However, in the neonatal intensive care unit(NICU), high noise levels and frequent handling leave the babies sleep deprived and may disrupt their normal growth and development.2 Furthermore, noise in the NICU environment is considered a factor in altering the behavioral and physiological responses of infants and may be responsible for some developmental disabilities and hearing loss found in premature infants.3
Over a decade's worth of research shows that common sounds, such as closing the incubator porthole, may reach levels from 100 dB up to 135 dB -- the equivalent to that of exposing a neonate's sensitive ears and immature nervous system to the noise level of a rock concert.2,3,4
The American Academy of Pediatrics, Committee on Environmental Health, recommends a maximum safe noise level of 45 dB in the NICU.2 Yet, clinical studies show that the average sound levels in the NICU range anywhere from 70 to 80 dB.5 More importantly, researchers have documented that reduced noise levels in the NICU:
An important part of optimizing NICU care for premature newborns is the reduction of high-intensity noise exposure to babies. The table below provides an overview of different noise levels and their effects on the neonate.
Noise Levels and Their Effects2
MiniMuffs® Neonatal Noise Attenuators provide a comfortable, easy-to-use solution for decreasing the noise levels for babies in the NICU. They are specifically designed for premature infants and decrease noise levels to the baby by at least 7dB, representing a reduction in sound pressure of more than 50%.6

Former Russian oligarch, then celebrity political prisoner, Mikhail Khodorkovsky addressed international media here Sunday from a cramped room at a museum dedicated to those who tried, and often died while failing, to escape the old authoritarian rule that many believe is evident once again today in Russia.
Khodorkovsky, the former owner of oil-giant Yukos (Russia's second largest business), repeatedly said he had only had 36 hours to reacquaint with this family after a decade of jail and therefore had not had time to make any detailed plans. He did say however that his goals for the future do not necessarily contain a return to Russia, that he will stay out of politics and the world of power, and even that he didn't expect to return to the business world.
"My financial situation doesn't require me to work just to earn some more money," he said at the press conference, which began about 1:30 p.m at the Checkpoint Charlie Museum in Berlin. In other media reports, he stated that as many of his old assets were seized he did not know exactly how much wealth he had retained through his decade in prison. Before being jailed, he was Russia's wealthiest man, worth an estimated $15 billion. "The time that is left to me is time I would like to devote to paying back the debts I have to those who have a right to expect me to repay those debts."
He said those included the many political prisoners and wrongly imprisoned still in Russia.
Khodorkovsky, now 50, was famously jailed by the Russian government of President Vladimir Putin in 2003 on charges ranging from tax evasion to embezzlement. The conventional wisdom, then and still, was that Putin's government created the charges because Khodorkovsky was becoming a pro-democracy advocate and a political threat to the president.
Still, and with the winter Olympics coming up in February, Putin on Friday released his old rival (and before that partner) as part of a recent prison clear out of controversial international symbols of Russian injustice (two members of the Pussy Riot were also released, as were members of the Greenpeace anti-whaling protesters called the Arctic 30).
Putin's move in releasing high profile political prisoners is seen as an attempt to head off negative press about Russia when the eyes of the world focus on the nation during the Olympics. By making the moves now, the strategy appears to be to diminish the news value of the prisoners by the time the games begin.
Khodokovsky has been hailed as reformer in recent years, and some in the audience at Checkpoint Charlie Museum applauded when he entered the press conference.
But, as the BBC noted "he was never a popular figure with the Russian public, who identified him with the country's chaotic move to a market economy in the 1990s, when tens of millions were left impoverished."
He built his empire by buying former Soviet assets, which technically belonged to Soviet citizens during the privatization of the former socialist economy. Critics maintain he only had access to buy the Yukos oil company and others (at cut-rate prices) because of his position in the communist party, a position he used to found what would become one of Russia's first private banks, Menatep. He said he had achieved all he could have wanted in the business world, and would not return to it.
He also said he learned of his release from a prison camp near the Finnish border at 2 a.m., and said during the press conference Sunday that when he was told to gather his things that he had no idea where he was heading.
"I had no choice," he said when asked why he immediately came to Berlin. "When the question of my release came up it was 2 a.m. and the commandant of my camp woke me and told me I was going home. After that I learned that this trip was to end in Berlin."
In Berlin, his footsteps and reunions with family have been dogged and recorded by reporters from around the world. He is staying at a luxury hotel that is famous in the United States as the place from which Michael Jackson once dangled his infant, directly between the U.S. and British Embassies, and also a block from the Russian embassy. His mother arrived Saturday, and is reportedly being treated at a German hospital only blocks from the hotel, as well.
Still, he began the press conference for thanking the media for what he called the important role they had played in keeping the pressure on Putin to finally allow his release. In fact, he thanked many, from the operators of the museum to German politicians Angela Merkel (whom he said worked behind the scenes) and the legendary former German foreign minister Hans-Dietrich Genscher (who led German reunification talks with the Soviet Union).
At the press conference, during his introduction, the list of those officially thanked also included Putin. And while he laughed as the name was read, he later noted that he appreciated the fact that Putin had always left his family out of the matter, despite the fact that "the games people play are really tough games."
And, when asked if he had any advice for politicians around the world who still must deal with Putin, he noted: "It would probably be somewhat arrogant on my part to give advice to experienced politicians on how to deal with someone as difficult as the president of my country."
But he did add to that statement: "I hope they should be aware that I am not the last political prisoner."

text: Five years after returning to the Triangle following stints in New York and Los Angeles, North Carolina native and Rhode Island School of Design graduate Joel Bergquist is making his debut in the Triangle visual arts scene with his first show at Raleigh's Gallery C. The 16 acrylic-on-canvas paintings comprising "The Blue Paintings" series consist of a familiar word stenciled in the center of an expanse of water or sky ("Whale" is pictured above). Bergquist says he used the words only as a starting point for something larger, "a spirit or soul." "By my choosing to represent the subject with a word instead of images, the viewer is allowed complete freedom to see the subject in beauty, in harmony, unbiased by the direct references of the artist," Bergquist says.

Anisotropic mechanical properties of zircon and the effect of radiation damage
Our study provides new insights into the relationship between radiation-dose-dependent structural damage, due to natural U and Th impurities, and the anisotropic mechanical properties (Poisson s ratio, elastic modulus and hardness) of zircon. Natural zircon samples from Sri Lanka (see Muarakami et al. 1991) and synthetic samples, covering a dose range of zero up to 6.8 x 10 18 -decays/g, have been studied by nanoindentation. Measurements along the [100] crystallographic direction and calculations, based on elastic stiffness constants determined by zkan (1976), revealed a general radiation-induced decrease in stiffness (~ 54 %) and hardness (~ 48 %) and an increase of the Poisson s ratio (~ 54 %) with increasing dose. Additional indentations on selected samples along the [001] allowed one to follow the amorphization process to the point that the mechanical properties are isotropic. This work shows that the radiation-dose-dependent changes of the mechanical properties of zircon can be directly correlated with the amorphous fraction as determined by previous investigations with local and global probes (Rios et al. 2000a; Farnan and Salje 2001; Zhang and Salje 2001). This agreement, revealed by the different methods, indicates a huge influence of structural and even local phenomena on the macroscopic mechanical properties.

Zola gave a first start to another newcomer, Alessandro Diamanti, against Liverpool on Saturday and he marked that full debut with a penalty in the 3-2 defeat at Upton Park.
And now Franco, a 32-year-old Argentine-born Mexican international, is expected to play at the Reebok Stadium.
"We will see as he has only just come in," said Zola. "But there is the perfect possibility to see Franco so we have had a chance to look at him and assess.
"He is a main striker and is good at holding the ball and very good with his feet. He is a reference up there and likes to play off to the others, and he can make a difference to us."
Zola may consider resting Valon Behrami, who returned at the weekend after six months out with a knee problem, and Matthew Upson, who collected a slight injury against Liverpool.
But the manager is determined to field a strong side as he approaches a competition he won with Chelsea.
West Ham beat Millwall in the previous round but the club are expected to learn their fate shortly following three pitch invasions during the 3-1 extra-time win.
"The Carling Cup is very important and we take it very seriously. We want to go ahead in that competition and we will take it very seriously."

The Horse Protection Act (HPA, 15 U.S.C. 1821-1831) authorizes the Secretary of Agriculture to promulgate regulations prohibiting the showing, exhibition, transport, or sale of horses subjected to soring, a practice of accentuating a horses' gait through the infliction of pain. The Secretary of Agriculture has delegated the responsibility for enforcing the HPA to the Administrator of the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS). Exercising its rulemaking authority under the Act, APHIS enforces regulations that are contained in 9 CFR part 11, referred to below as the regulations, that prohibit, among other things, devices and methods that might sore horses.
In a petition sent on August 4, 2010, The Humane Society of the United States, the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, the American Horse Protection Association, Inc., Friends of Sound Horses, Inc., and former Senator Joseph D. Tydings (referred to below as the petitioners) requested that APHIS change its regulations and policies regarding the protection of horses from the practice of soring. The petitioners' requests included permanently disqualifying horses that have been scarred from soring from competitions, permanently disqualifying repeat violators of the HPA, requiring horse industry Start Printed Page 20570organizations to impose minimum penalties for violations, and decertifying noncompliant horse industry organizations.
The HPA does not provide APHIS with the authority to implement certain requests in the petition. Specifically, APHIS does not have the authority under the HPA to permanently disqualify horses that have been scarred from soring from competitions, nor does APHIS have the authority to permanently disqualify repeat violators of the HPA. The disqualification provisions and penalty provisions are clearly enumerated in the HPA.
You may review the petition and submit comments through the Regulations.gov Web site (see ADDRESSES above for instructions for accessing Regulations.gov). We welcome all comments on the issues outlined in the petition. We are particularly interested in receiving comments regarding those areas where APHIS has existing authority under the HPA. We encourage the submission of scientific data, studies, or research to support your comments and position, including scientific data or research that supports any industry or professional standards that pertain to horse care. We also invite data on the costs and benefits associated with any recommendations. We will consider all comments and recommendations we receive.Start Signature
Done in Washington, DC, this 7th day of April 2011.

Quality Measures
Brookhaven is dedicated to continuous improvements in the quality and safety of care we provide for our patients. We believe that our patients requiring surgery should have care based upon scientific evidence and best practices.
Our data collection specialist in conjunction with a multidisciplinary group coordinates our ongoing Surgical Care Improvement Project. All areas of surgical services examine and report on volumes and outcomes of many quality and performance improvement measures to help us continuously improve your experience and outcomes.
Some of the measures currently include:
- Prevention of surgical site infection.
- Administration of beta blockers to appropriate patients within the perioperative period.
- Maintaining patients' temperature during surgery.
- Prevention of blood clots.
- Patient satisfaction surveys.
- Correct patient, correct procedure / universal protocol.
- Medication safety.
- Pain management post-operatively.
Read more about the Medical Center's DNV accreditation and its advantages.
What does "monitoring vital signs" mean?
Vital signs are facts about your health that can be measured and may change for various reasons. Brookhaven's team will monitor your vital signs (heart rate, respiratory rate, blood pressure, oxygen saturation and level of pain) in order to provide the best possible treatment to assure your safety and comfort.
Will I need an IV for surgery?
Almost all patients require an intravenous catheter during the perioperative period. This allows medications and fluids into your body through the vein. The IV catheter is flexible and allows freedom of movement.
Will it be cold in the operating room?
Operating rooms are kept between 68-73 degrees. We make it a priority to keep you warm during your surgery by using warming blankets and other warming devices.
Will I need to have a urinary catheter for my operation?
This is a question you may want to ask your surgeon. "Catheter" is a term used to describe a tube. Your surgeon and anesthesiologist may require a "foley" to be placed into your urinary bladder for your safety, depending on the length and type of procedure you are having. Your body makes urine, and the volume you make is a sign of the state of your health. Unless otherwise indicated, your foley will be removed by the first or second day postoperatively.
Will I have to remove my dentures?
Tell your anesthesiologist if you have dentures, partial plates or artificial or capped teeth. Depending on the type of anesthesia you receive, your dentures or plates may need to be removed for your safety. You can bring in your own container if you like, or we can provide one for you. If it is necessary to remove them, you will be asked as close to your operation as possible, and they will be returned to you as soon as you are safely awake.
May I invite my family and friends to come with me?
Yes, you may. Remember, however, that you may be anxious before surgery and tired afterward. Our surgical waiting area is close by, and family and friends will be notified when you can be seen after the operation. Visitors are not always allowed into PACU where you will go immediately after surgery. If you are returning home the same day as surgery, you will need to have someone to drive you and care for you for a period following surgery.
When will I be reunited with my friends and family?
Visitation is determined by the activity and level of acuity of patients in the PACU. Your friends and family may be allowed to visit. We encourage visitors to wait until you are out of the primary recovery area.
How long will I spend in the PACU?
This varies depending upon the type of procedure and anesthesia used. The nursing staff or the surgeon will notify your visitors when you have arrived to the PACU and will be discharged from PACU.
Will I feel nauseous when I wake up?
Nausea after surgery is due to many factors and is not uncommon after surgery. With new methods of anesthesia care and new drugs (called antiemetics) to control nausea, the likelihood you have nausea is much lower than it has been in the past. Prevention of nausea is always considered very important as part of your care.
Where do I go when I leave the PACU?
Where you go next mostly depends on the way you were scheduled for surgery. If you are scheduled to stay in the hospital overnight, you will leave the PACU on a stretcher or bed and go to the nursing unit, where you will be greeted and evaluated by dedicated staff members.
If you are scheduled as an outpatient and expect to go home that day, you will be returned to the same area where you were admitted. The same caring team will allow you to go home once they have determined it is safe to do so. You will be given all of the instructions you need to care for yourself over the next few days. We encourage your family and companions to hear this information. When you leave, you may be drowsy or unsteady on your feet, so we insist that a family member or companion takes you home.
How much pain will I be in when I wake up?
Each person feels pain differently. At Brookhaven Memorial Hospital Medical Center we are committed to the management of your pain. Our staff will obtain a pain assessment which will include:
- your description and location of your pain.
- the intensity of your pain scored on a scale of 1-10 (with 1 being the least intense and 10 being the most intense pain you have ever experienced).
- any activities which can precipitate your pain.
- if you have chronic pain, what level is a comfortable level acceptable for you.
Once evaluated, a treatment plan will be formulated and discussed with you. This treatment plan may include the following:
- medications.
- positioning for comfort.
- heat or cold applications to the affected area.
- diversionary activities.
- goals to be met.
After implementation of your specific pain management plan, our staff will continually monitor your physiological and psychological response to your specific pain management plan to access its success in reaching the goal of managing your pain. The plan, implementation, assessment and reassessment will continue until the mutually agreed upon goal has been met or you become pain free.
For your planned surgery, your anesthesiologist will discuss postoperative pain management options, which may include a patient-controlled analgesia (PCA), a regional block such as epidural or a femoral block to control postoperative pain or medications. Your questions will be answered prior to the surgery in an effort to keep you well informed of your specific pain management plan.
- Consider these Tips Before Surgery.
- After surgery, here are some suggestions for preventing blood clots and infections.

The Basenji is a small breed that has a regal look to it. The body of a Basenji is athletic with long legs and a deeply wrinkled forehead. They have a high tail with a slight curl to it. Their eyes are almond in shape and they have erect ears. Their coat is shiny and they usually white feet despite the variety of colors of für.
The Basenji's long legs are what make it a good running dog. They are even compared to a horse with their running style. They were bred to hunt and run. They love the chase and will do anything to be able to do it, even if that means running off. This dog does not bark. They may make other noises but it will never bark. More likely to hear from this dog is a scream.
They can be head strong and this can make training a challenge. They will also eat just about anything, so keeping an eye on them is important. However this independent nature is just a part of their personality that takes getting used to.
The Basenji has short hair that is silky in texture. They can have fours different colors – red, black, tan and brindle. The feet are usually white along with the tip of the tail and chest.
The Basenji has been around for many centuries. They originated in Africa where they were a celebrated hunting dog. In 1934 this breed were brought into Europe, being called the Congo Dog. They were recognized by the American Kennel Club in 1943.
The best way to describe a Basenji is that they are a range of personalities all in one. They can vary greatly in temperament and attitude. They can be described as being alert, loving, assertive and active. They need to be brought into a family as a pup in order to truly adapt. They also do not coexist well with other dogs. They also are not good around smaller animals since they will chase and catch them.
They usually become strongly attached to family. They can be reserved at times and can be very uncomfortable with strangers. A good sign that they are not comfortable in a situation is circling. When they circle this means they feel threatened.
The Basenji is active and likes to have fun. They will need to get rid of all that stored up energy so they do not act out. They are avid chewers and great climbers, so they can really do a number if left to their own accord to find something to do. They can be very immature in nature when they do not get the attention they need, much like a child.
Basenjis may be prone to a few common health conditions. It is important to be aware of these conditions so that they can be caught and treatment started early. They will often suffer from a kidney disorder called Fanconi syndrome. They can suffer from a blood disorder called genetic hemolytic anemia. They are one of the dog breeds that often have hip dysplasia. They may suffer from the intestinal disease called malabsorption and progressive retinal atrophy which is a disorder of the eye that can lead to blindness. Good care and regular vet visits can help catch any problems early or prevent the onset of certain conditions.
The Basenji only needs brushing on a regular basis to stay well groomed. The Basenji is easy to groom because they love the attention that comes with it, so no fighting during grooming time with this dog. The Basenji is really a self grooming dog. They also do not have that dog smell. They are really as minimal care dog and perfect for an owner who is not keen on long hours spent grooming.
Basenji need a far amount of daily exercise. They will be fine with running and playing all day, if possible. They should also be kept in a yard with a high, strong fence since they are good climbers. Their exercise needs can be so demanding that it is often sometimes best to enroll them in a classes of some type so they can get as much exercise as possible. They can seem to have endless energy and it is important to recognize that this is almost true. Exercise is one of the biggest challenges with this breed of dog.
Basenji can be trained in a few different ways. They can be trained with a lure for speed, agility and skill. They can also be trained as a competition dog. They can also be trained for obedience, but this can be the most challenging type of training. They will work hard for achievement. Their extreme energy levels and eagerness to please go a long way towards success. They have to be handled with a firm command. Sometimes training can be too challenging and is best done by a professional.

VIDEO: Grand Island Groundwater Guardian Team
The Grand Island Groundwater Guardian Team realized the potential of educating thousands of people about groundwater and its uses when we received 1st place through a national on-line contest held by Rain Bird: The Intelligent Use of Water Awards! That first place prize was $10,000 to implement features such as a rain garden, bioswale, gazebo, cedar tunnel, prairie maze and trees. The project received 30,597 votes; about 1,000 more than any other project in the country.
The Outdoor Learning Area is designed to provide an attractive greenscape area for use by fair goers while also providing educational opportunities regarding one of our most precious resources — groundwater. The area provides the community a stimulating place for play, learning, and environmental education– particularly water education. Although the site is located at the Nebraska State Fairgrounds, the Outdoor Learning Area is available year-round to allow educators and the public an educational, leisurely place to enjoy nature. Local educators have used the area to educate students about butterfly migration and GPS technology. In 2015, the site was selected as a Great Park Pursuit location from May-September. The Outdoor Learning Area had 536 team members visit the site for the Great Park Pursuit.
AWARD The Grand Island Groundwater Guardian Team received a Community Beautification Award from the Hall County Regional Planning Commision in October 2016. The award recognizes the Outdoor Learning Area as a place to beautify and improve the community.
GROUNDBREAKING A groundbreaking ceremony was held on Friday, August 31, 2012. Jack Vetter, Vetter Health Systems, was a guest at the groundbreaking ceremony. Vetter matched the on-line contest that the Guardians won from Rain Bird: The Intelligent Use of Water Awards.
FUNDING After receiving the initial $10,000 from the online voting, the Guardians also acquired $47,500 in other grants from Vetter Health Services, Water For The West, Waterwise (NE Environmental Trust), Fonner Park, City of Grand Island and Nebraska Department of Environmental Quality. The project would not have been possible without the support of Fonner Park, the Nebraska State Fair. The Grand Island Youth Leadership and Roots & Shoots have donated plants and their time to enhance the site.
NEW THIS YEAR: We're raising money for this site through the central Nebraska GO BIG GIVE! If you missed out on this event and would still like to help us enhance and maintain this site, donations are being accepted. The Grand Island Groundwater Guardian Team has set up an account as a 501(c)3 organization-all donations are 100% tax deducible through the Grand Island Community Foundation. Checks may be made out to: GICF-GI Area Groundwater Guardians, 4120 W 2nd Street, Grand Island, NE 68801. Federal ID # 47-6032570.
GWG TEAM The Grand Island Groundwater Guardian Team is a local volunteer group whose purpose is to educate the public about the importance of groundwater.

~To educate the public about water quantity, water quality and stewardship of water resources.
~To educate the public on various types of vegetation and water uses across the state of Nebraska.
~To educate the public on natural filtration techniques.
~To educate the public on efficient water use.
~To educate the public about the Ogallala Aquifer.
Why? Increasing numbers of both children and adults are losing contact with the natural world. Reasons include the rapid growth of domestic air-conditioning since the 1950s; apprehensive parents who keep their children close to home; state-mandated curricula that do not allow time for study outdoors; and the overly-structured, hurried lifestyle of many people today.
Rain Garden: The rain garden is a planted depression that allows rainwater runoff to be absorbed from impervious urban areas like roofs, driveways, walkways, parking lots, and compacted lawn areas. The public would be educated on how this reduces rain runoff by allowing stormwater to soak into the ground, as opposed to flowing into storm drains and surface waters which causes erosion, water pollution, flooding, and diminished groundwater. It will be designed for Nebraska-specific soils and climate. Native plants from all areas of Nebraska have been used because they don't require fertilizer andare more tolerant of the local climate, soil, and water conditions. They also attract local wildlife such as native birds and butterflies. The plants include a selection of wetland edge vegetation, such as wildflowers, sedges, rushes, ferns, shrubs and small trees— will take up excess water flowing into the rain garden. Water filters through soil layers before entering the groundwater system. (See photos & descriptions below.) The site shows how the root systems enhance infiltration, maintain or even augment soil permeability, provide moisture redistribution, and sustain diverse microbial populations involved in biofiltration. Also, through the process of transpiration, rain garden plants return water vapor to the atmosphere.
Bioswale: This landscape element is designed to remove silt and pollution from surface runoff water.The location is near a swaled drainage area (a sidewalk) and includes gently sloped sides filled with vegetation, compost and riprap. The water's flow path, along with the wide and shallow ditch, is designed to maximize the time water spends in the swale, which aids the trapping of pollutants and silt.
Gazebo: The gazebo provides seating for a classroom setting and resting area. The structure includes gutters and a rain barrell to educate about gutters, rain barrels and grass pavers.
Kids Tepee: This natural play feature was installed in July 2013 and will use flowering vines to cover the tepee structure, creating a space for children to play and learn about plants, vines and shade.
Prairie Restoration: This area looks a little rough right now until the restoration has completed the 'weedy process;' which takes about 5 years. Planted by the Prairie Plains Resources Institute, this area will combine natural play feature with a need to cover a low area on the site with something other than turf. The prairie grass and forbe roots help add structure to the soil and improve water infiltration over time. Simply mowing paths through the area will allow children to have the experience of running through the tall prairie grasses. The restoration process will take about five years to complete.
Areas Near the Outdoor Learning Area
4-H Building: During the State Fair, the 4-H building has several events. The remainder of the year, the building is utilized as a sports field house with baseball & softball cages, basketball courts, volleyball courts, soccer fields and a kids play area.
Raising Nebraska Building: This 50,000 square-foot building is just west of the outdoor learning area. It is two stories high with exhibition space on the ground floor and the Nebraska State Fair administrative offices on the second floor. It also features a museum area with information and artifacts from the past 144 years of the fair. The Department of Agriculture and the Nebraska Game & Parks Commission share the lower floor with meeting space available on the top floor. The Dept. of Agriculture's interactive, technology-based displays promote agriculture in Nebraska and is available for use year-round. The display has been described as a Smithsonian-type display with simulators and videos.
Family Fun Center: During the State Fair, the Family Fun Activity Center is located under a large tent in the Family Fun Activity Center and provides all-day games, sanctioned games & competitions, a daily food eating contest, Make-and-Take activities, and much more for children of all ages. Butterfly adventures, which is an educational environment where people can interact with butterflies of many different species will be held daily in the Family Fun Zone, as well as The Pirates of the Colombian Caribbean Aerial High Wire Thrill Show, which is a daily grounds entertainment act with multiple showings a day.

Tough it is; however, my alternative is tougher row to hoe.
In 2016 we encouraged all of our staff at Pederson's Natural Farms to join us in a Whole 30 Challenge. Their participation was not mandatory. The challenge would only last for 30 days, but we wanted them to come away with a healthier approach to cooking and eating. We had the participating staff chronicle their Whole30 journey and this is one that stuck out that I wanted to share.
Meet Elias Gutierrz, he works in the maintenance department at Pederson's Natural Farms. This is his Whole 30 story.
Week One
First week behind me in my Whole30 Journey and it's been a great personal success. I feel better physically and emotionally. Tough it is; however, my alternative is a tougher row to hoe.
Last year I was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes. That's a tough one. If you know me, you know I love to eat. Diabetes and what I like or liked to eat don't go together. So, when I say my alternative is a tougher row to hoe, Whole30 isn't that big a challenge.
First off, why me? No one else in my family has diabetes, so why me. Well, diabetes doesn't care about who, why or when. Diabetes only cares about my lifestyle and how I eat.
It has been a struggle. Not only is it a pain, it's just inconvenient. So anything that makes it easier is great.
I'm sitting in Pederson's break room before New Year's and several people are talking about this Whole30 deal. A couple of people are acting excited about. It sounds hard, but it's not as hard as diabetes, so I decide I'm in. I'm tired of feeling bad and I am tired of trying to find good stuff to eat. I actually started scaling back and correcting my diet the week before New Year's. So on New Year's day, I am ready.
Really, the hardest part of this challenge is going to be the blog, I don't know how to blog. So, my Whole30 team is helping me BLOG.
Being in a small town (Gustine,Texas), it's more than a little bit difficult to find food that fits Whole30. All of the Pederson's crew on Whole30 has been sharing ideas and then if you can't find the right stuff or I don't have time: I find out Freida's Sweets and Meats is going to do Whole30 for January. So, finding the food part isn't as hard as we thought it would be. Check out my Facebook posts, I love chicharrons! Also, if you eat really good quality food that meets Whole30 requirements, I get satisfied.
Did I mention I like to eat! I really like good food. It's not what I used to eat, but I really like what I am eating.
Did I mention that there are things allowed on Whole30 that are not allowed in a diabetics diet, makes it even harder! I'm on the Whole30D Program.
So, here's the deal! I feel better already. My old ways of eating were making me sick. I feel better and a couple of people notice and said I look better. I am already able to see differences in my medication; I need less medication to regulate my blood sugar. I was really kicking a can over this medication thing; who knows, if I eat Whole30 I may not need medication long-term. I am having to monitor my blood sugar to make sure it doesn't fall too low, so something is happening or something is working for me.
Did I mention I finally feel like hitting the gym, starting tonight!
Week Two
Two weeks down and two more to go!
I was just telling Neil Dudley this isn't so hard. Although, I really am missing dairy and a cheeseburger still looks really attractive. But, I have stuck to this challenge and I am going to see it through the full 30 days and then some!
Then I remember 3 weeks ago when I was in a bind with my blood sugar. Remember, I'm type 1 diabetic; if you want a challenge, try dealing with diabetes. It's really hard for me because I really am in love with food. I can be having a really bad day and a good meal perks me up every time. Unfortunately, my old diet resulted in huge and unmanageable spikes in my blood sugar.
I started on the Whole30 a few days before January 18, 2016; it's been at least 22 days for me. I have actually started using less and less insulin through my pump and I am having to make a real effort to keep my blood sugar high enough in the morning. So, when I think about that cheese burger vs. having a spike in blood sugar,,,, it's a pretty easy decision to make. My goal is to remain on a Whole 30 inspired diet and get off my insulin pump altogether. I have heard about people being able to do this and I know I can get there.
Week two, I feel really good. I haven't felt this good in a long time. Two weeks ago, I would wake up in the morning and feel sluggish and overall had a really "down" feeling. I have more energy now. Two weeks ago, I felt like I had shut the door and left my ass on the other side of the door. That's just not me! I am normally in a great mood, feel good and like to work hard. Two weeks ago, my ass was dragging. Now I have energy. It's not just energy to do stuff, my mind is more focused. I was really having problems with being distracted and would just forget stuff,,, important stuff. Not only am I sharper minded, I feel better about myself.
I am convinced it's getting all the sugar and all the things with hidden sugar out of my life. It's made a big impact on my overall life so far.
So like a lot of things in life, it's a trade-off. I might not get to eat cheeseburgers, dang. I have heard I might be able to start eating some of the things not allowed in this Whole30 Challenge after the 30 days. I am not like most of the rest of the people on the challenge. I have to monitor my blood sugar all day. I know exactly what a cheese burger does, or a glass of milk or a pile of cheese. You aren't supposed to get on a scale to weigh during these 30 days; however, I have to measure the blood sugar all the time. I really think if I change to a Whole30 lifestyle all the time, I will be medicine free in 2016.
Week Three
Three weeks down, one more to go!
That Cheese Burger is still on my mind! Not touching one, but it's still on my mind.
Got to see my first blog post in Week 3, all the comments made me proud of myself and it makes me so thankful for all of the support that my family and friends have been giving me. My wife's FB comment inspires me to continue on Whole30 reset and on a more healthy life.
I really battled low blood sugar last week. Normally, type 1 diabetics battle with high blood pressure. Since taking the Whole30 challenge, I have gone from very high blood sugar, to normal blood sugar and now having a challenge to maintain healthy blood sugar levels. When my blood sugar gets too low I have zero energy, my vision is impaired and I feel sick. I had such a hard time keeping my blood sugar from climbing to a really high level, I got an insulin pump. The insulin pump has helped keep my blood sugar "more" normal, but it's a pain to have the pump in my pocket or attached to me 24/7. I don't like it much at all. So, now I am eating really healthy and watching what spices I eat and the pump isn't adjusting for my more nutritious life. So, it's tanking my blood sugar,,, especially in the morning when I wake up. I have a visit with the doctor this week and hopefully this solves this problem.
Type 1 diabetes: a chronic condition in which your body doesn't produce enough insulin on its own. You have to have insulin so your body can use sugar for energy. Without enough insulin, your blood carries all the sugar and your cells can't use it. There is no cure for Type 1 diabetes, only management of it. It's like a sugar dragon on steroids. Untreated or unmanaged = risk of heart attack or stroke, nerve damage in legs and feet, kidney damage, eye damage, foot damage and skin problems. Guess what, I have had the onset of some of these issues and I want all of this to stop now!
I say all this not for sympathy or for attention. Being a Type 1 Diabetic is a pain in the rear! I am telling this story for two reasons: 1/ Whole30 seems to be working for me and more importantly 2/ I want to set an example for other diabetics or potential diabetics. Take care of yourself now and don't go through what I am experiencing with Diabetes,,, it's like a ball and chain to me.
With that said, my objective after the Whole 30, 30 day reset is to stay on the Whole30 program. Why wouldn't I, it's the only thing I have seen consistent results with since being diagnosed with the diabetes. Feeling better, being more focused, losing weight are all benefits that I want; however, my #1 inspiration is to get rid of this PUMP.
Whole30 gives me a real chance of meeting this goal for 2016.
Week Four
Challenge finished and Whole30 goes on!
That Cheese Burger gets less and less important every day.
Health is something we/I always took for granted. I guess you take it for granted until the doctor tells you something is really wrong
This is what happened to me in December 2015. I had to make a change. Sitting in the break room at Pederson's Natural Farms; people were talking about the Whole30 program. This was talked about right at the time I really needed something to boost me into changing the way I eat. I was trying to adjust my diet on my own and it wasn't really working and the food was boring. I got a chance to eat really good food in January and it taught me a diet doesn't always mean bland, bad tasting diet food. I like to cook and it's made me a better planner and a better cook for myself.
Overall, I just feel much better after the 30 day reset. I can't afford to back up, so the reset is going to have to keep going for me. I am still having problems with my blood sugar, but not like a month ago. For me, It's not just that I feel better and that I think sharper after a month. Remember, I have the Type 1, ball and chain, insulin pump attached to me 24/7. That pump constantly monitors my blood sugar and infuses insulin based on my blood sugar use and based on my past insulin usage. So, I can go to the clinic and they download a graph that shows me exactly where I stand on blood sugar over time. In November and December (Pre-Whole30), I was using a lot of insulin and my blood sugar was all over the place. High one day, low the next morning,,,,, like a roller coaster. Life is hard on an insulin roller coaster. Since I started the Whole30 reset, the spikes in blood sugar are calming down or there just aren't the extremes from high to low. I actually started having problems with my blood sugar being too low and had to have my pump reprogramed to account for my improved nutrition. I think I surprised the ladies at the clinic and I know I have surprised myself. As of February 1, 2016, "MY GRAPH" for blood sugar is falling off like a cliff (almost strait down).
I spent all day at another doctor February 1, 2016 about inflamed nerves. This is a typical symptom of type 1 diabetes. My nerve endings become inflamed in my back and especially in my feet. I know a month ago, it was so bad I had a hard time getting moving in the mornings. I got the riot act read to me yesterday about how much I would hurt, how it's not really reversible and I was given a stack of prescriptions. I know I don't hurt like a month ago and I think Whole30 may be helping with this too.
My house looks like a pharmacy with all the prescriptions I have been given to deal with diabetes. It's too early to tell at this point; however, I know I am making more progress than I was before Whole30. I can't afford to stop. I want to eat some junky food, but I don't want to back up my health. And, when I say I can't afford to stop,, all the insulin and all the prescriptions cost a lot of money,,, even with insurance.
I'm always really optimistic and Whole30 has given me back my personality and hopefully my health with little or no medications by the end of 2016. A lofty goal, but I know I can do this!

Soot stamping technique.
Found out about this technique at Oyster stamps. Never heard about it before but liked the idea! I googled the technique and then watched a couple of you tube videos, and decided to give it a try!! So my great crafting friend came on Sunday and we both gave it a go it was great bouncing all the ideas we were having of one another.
We loved the technique and was very pleased with the finished results. Will be doing a lot more of these in future. It's a great technique to use for men's cards as well.
Here are my finished projects.
Hope you like the cards. I would recommend trying out this technique to all stamping lovers.

Prices at the pump continue to fallPosted: Updated:
PHOENIX -- For the third straight week gas prices in the state of Arizona have decreased.
According to AAA Arizona, the statewide average dropped almost 2 cents this week to $3.682 per gallon. The national average dropped a little more than 1 cent to $3.784 per gallon.
From August 31 to September 30, prices across the country dropped 5 cents. It's the first month-to-month decrease in prices since June.
But while Arizona and most of the nation is enjoying a decrease in prices, the same can't be said for the majority of the West Coast.
AAA Arizona explains that low demand coupled with the impending switch to winter fuel blend on the West Coast has led refiners to offload their excess of summer fuel blends in other markets. This has caused a temporary tightening of supply and a bump in prices.
"The issue on the West Coast is a fairly isolated short-term problem that will likely be resolved once refiners have completed their switch to winter blends," said Linda Gorman, director of communications and public affairs for AAA Arizona. "Since Arizona receives its supply almost equally from the East and West lines, we're moderately insulated from the wild price swings other states may experience."
Tucson currently has the lowest fuel average in the state at $3.523 per gallon, while Flagstaff's $3.887 average is the highest in Arizona.
Motorists in South Carolina pay less than any other state in the continental U.S. at $3.495 per gallon. California's $4.315 average is the highest in the continental U.S..

Steven Soderbergh has long been interested in making a film about the life of iconic Cuban revolutionary Che Guevara, the star of a million T-shirts.
Guerrilla, which will star Benjamin Bratt as Guevara, follows the story of the man who trained as a doctor before becoming Fidel Castro's chief lieutenant. His story ended abruptly in 1967 when he was captured and executed by Bolivian forces.
A chunk of his early life has already been dramatised in Walter Salles' 2004 film The Motorcycle Diaries. Soderbergh's biopic is set to begin cranking cameras on 21 January in New York, with locations also planned in Mexico's Veracruz.
When he's finished with that Soderbergh may – emphasis on the may – segue into filming Life Interrupted, a monologue that writer Spaulding Gray was working on before he died.

- The Spider-Man film series consists of superhero films based on the fictional Marvel Comics character of the same name.
- Spider-Man is a fictional Marvel Comics superhero. The character was created by writer-editor Stan Lee and writer-artist Steve Ditko. He first appeared in Amazing Fantasy #15 (Aug. 1962).
- Spider-Man, also known as Spider-Man: The Animated Series, was an American animated series starring the Marvel Comics superhero, Spider-Man. The show ran on Fox Kids from November 19, 1994, to January 31, 1998. The producer/story editor was John Semper, Jr.
spiderman cartoon episodes – The Spectacular
Volume 5 of The Spectacular Spider-Man further confirms that this animated adaptation of the web-slinger's adventure is one of the best ever produced, thanks to its smart scripting, plentiful action, and respect for the source material. In all four episodes on this single-disc set, taken from Spider-Man's second season, he's pitted against villains both old and new while attempting to navigate the pitfalls of school, romance, and responsibility. The season 2 opener, "Blueprints," introduces the would-be magician Mysterio, who makes life difficult for Spidey just when he's trying to sort out a burgeoning romance with Gwen Stacey. Mysterio returns in "Reinforcement," which finds him part of the Sinister Six (here comprising Sandman, Rhino, Vulture, Electro, Mysterio, and Kraven the Hunter, who is the key foe in "Destructive Testing"). Meanwhile, the identity of the crime boss known as the Master Planner is revealed in volume 5's final episode, "Shear Strength"–and it's a neat twist on par with the true identity of the Big Man in season 1. The Master Planner's team (which includes Electro and the Tinkerer) is bent on world domination, adding some tension to Peter Parker's uncertainty about whether to be with Gwen or Liz Allen. It's an exciting, well-crafted quartet of episodes, each displaying the series' core strengths, not least of which is the solid vocal cast, led by Josh Keaton as Peter Parker and Spider-Man. Too bad there aren't any extras to make the disc extra-Spectacular. –Paul Gaita

While fans breathlessly await the fate of the computer-animated New Adventures of Spider-Man (it remains in limbo after being dropped by MTV in 2003), they can enjoy all 13 episodes of its first season on this two-disc set, which includes a wealth of extras. Mainframe Entertainment (which created the cult Saturday morning series ReBoot) and writer/executive producer Brian Michael Bendis (the Ultimate Spider-Man comic) give the venerable story a spin by placing Peter Parker (voiced by Neil Patrick Harris) in college alongside pal Harry Osborn (Ian Ziering) and longtime crush Mary Jane Watson (singer Lisa Loeb). As usual, Parker/Spidey must conceal his secret identity while wrangling a host of foes, which are a mix of ones drawn from the comic book (The Lizard, Kraven the Hunter) and brand new enemies (Talon, voiced by rapper Eve). Spider-Man fans seem firmly divided into "for" and "against" camps over the animation, which beautifully captures Spidey's web-slinging, but often looks awkward when depicting everyday movement. Die-hard series viewers and Spider-Man/Marvel collectors in general will be pleased by the set, which includes behind-the-scenes featurettes and commentary by the creators. –Paul Gaita

A square shape is unique to the gardening world, where the majority of planters are round. Square containers come in the same materials as round pots, but create a different shape and look for your setting. A four sided shape is perfect for corners, or creating a geometric pattern. Square planters are a modern and contemporary garden accessory. These planters are known for bringing a less classical feel to your outdoor area. We strive to bring you a large assortment of square pots, from large commercial sizes to small indoor pots. We provide many different color selections from stained patinas from cast stone, to brightly colored ceramic and glazed options.
Square planters are a good option for setting defined outdoor rooms in your outdoor area. Placing these square containers on the edges of walkways and pathways can give a dimension of one room ending, like your vegetable garden and leading into your outdoor sitting area. Square planters can also be easily used indoors. Most homes have square corners and rooms. Planters can easily fit into these areas and silk flowers and plants can be placed indoors. Our planters are all crafted from top materials, designed to be durable and strong, while also creating a stunning focal point and wonderful home for your favorite flowers and foliage!

text: The Battle of Dien Bien Phu was the decisive engagement in the first Indochina War (1946–54). After French forces occupied the Dien Bien Phu valley in late 1953, Viet Minh commander Vo Nguyen Giap amassed troops and placed heavy artillery in caves of the mountains overlooking the French camp. Boosted by Chinese aid, Giap mounted assaults on the opposition's strong points beginning in March 1954, eliminating use of the French airfield. Viet Minh forces overran the base in early May, prompting the French government to seek an end to the fighting with the signing of the Geneva Accords of 1954.

Approaching age 65 and concerned for their family's future, Florence and Hank Billing began figuring out how to pass along their family business and personal assets to their five children.
Of the five -- four daughters and one son -- only their son, Kurt, was interested in running the family's two Southampton, N.Y., clothing stores.
Kurt, who was selling software to retail stores in Seattle, solved half the problem by opting to return home. In May, he bought Billing's Lingerie on Main Street. The lingerie shop is not far from the large-size and maternity wear store his parents own on Hill Street.
