According to the Canadian Contraception survey, 44 per cent of women use hormonal pills as their choice of birth control, making it the second most popular form of contraception after condoms. But according to the Canadian Paediatric Society (CPS), the Intrauterine Device (IUD) is actually the most effective method. So, how do you know what method is the best option for you? Dr. Melinda Wu dropped by the Your Morning studio to break down some of the other options available to Canadians. (You can watch her interview in the video clip above!)
An IUD is a flexible, T-shaped device that, once inserted into a woman's uterus, helps prevent pregnancy. There are three types of IUDs available in Canada: copper IUD (non-hormonal), Mirena IUD (hormonal) and Kyleena IUD (hormonal). Hormone-releasing IUDs can last up to five years, depending on the brand. The copper IUD can stay in place and offer protection for up to 12 years. The IUD has two tiny strings that hang out the cervix into the vagina, and these strings can be used to make sure your IUD remains in place.
The IUD has a 99 per cent efficacy rate, so the risk of getting pregnant is low. Once the device is inserted, you're good to go. You don't have to worry about forgetting to use, or using it incorrectly. IUDs won't affect your fertility and they're not permanent, so you can have it removed once you're ready to start a family. Hormonal IUDs can help women who have heavy periods and bad cramps. In fact, some women stop getting periods altogether once they've had an IUD inserted. The IUD is also cost effective. The hormonal IUD ranges between $300 and $350, while the copper IUD costs around $80, and both last for up to five years.
Like all other birth control options (except condoms), IUDs won't protect you from sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). There have also been reports of the IUD slipping out of place (or "going missing"), which happens to three to 10 per cent of patients. (You can regularly check your IUD is in place by feeling for the strings.) Some women report side effects after getting an IUD, which include: cramping or backaches, spotting between periods, irregular periods, heavier periods and worse menstrual cramps. Some women also experience cramping after the IUD has been inserted.
You can learn more about IUDs in the video clip below.
The patch
This birth control method can be worn on the skin of your belly, upper arm, butt, or back. A new patch is put on every week for three weeks. The patch releases hormones that help prevent pregnancy.
The patch is effective, when used correctly. It's a great option for women who don't want to worry about taking a pill every day. Some women experience lighter periods, less cramps and their cycle becomes easier to predict.
Some side effects include nausea, breast tenderness, headaches, spotting, and mood changes. It also doesn't protect against STDs.
Hormone pills
Birth control pills are "a kind of medicine with hormones." Some pills contain both estrogen and progestin (combination pills), which are safe for breastfeeding women and those who can't take estrogen.
The pill is 91 per cent effective, if used correctly. This means it's really important you don't forget to take (or miss) your pill. According to a 2015 report from Stats Canada, oral contraceptives are safe for the vast majority of healthy women. Birth control pills aren't just for birth control—both combination and progestin-only pills reduce menstrual cramps, lighten periods and lower your risk of ectopic pregnancy. The combination pill can also reduce or help prevent: acne, bone thinning, cysts in breasts and ovaries, serious infections in your ovaries, fallopian tubes and uterus, anemia, and premenstrual syndrome (PMS).
You have to take the pill every day, so it's really important for you to remember to take it. There can also be some negative side effects, such as: a change in your sex drive, spotting or bleeding between periods, sore breasts, nausea, or headaches. In terms of cost, birth control pills range from $10 to $20 per pack (depending on your health coverage) and have to be re-purchased every month.
Hormonal injection
The birth control shot, taken every three months, contains the hormone progestin, which stops you from getting pregnant by preventing ovulation.
The birth control shot has a 94 per cent effective rate and, If used correctly, you only need to think about birth control four times a year and is a great option for women who don't want to remember to take a pill every day. The shot can also make you get your period less often. It's also temporary, so if you want to get pregnant after you stop using it, you can.
You have to visit your doctor's office every three months for your injection, and it only works if you get it on time, so it's important to stay on schedule. There can also be some negative side effects: nausea, weight gain, headaches, breast tenderness, depression, and slight bruising where the shot was given. If you want to get pregnant after stopping this form of birth control, it could take up to 10 months after stopping to get pregnant.
The ring
The birth control ring (also referred to as NuvaRing) is a small, flexible ring worn inside the vagina. It prevents pregnancy by releasing hormones into your body.
Like the patch, the NuvaRing is a good option for women who don't want to worry about taking a pill every day. The NuvaRing only has to be inserted and removed once a month. The ring also has some perks and can help prevent or lessen: acne, bone thinning, cysts in breasts or ovaries, endometrial and ovarian cancers, anemia, PMS, and more. You can also still get pregnant right away once you stop using the ring.
Remembering to change your ring on time can be a challenge, and some women get side effects that include: change in sex drive, spotting or bleeding between periods, sore breasts, nausea, or headaches. It also doesn't prevent against STDs.
These are stretchy, thin pouches men wear on their penis during sex. Condoms provide protection for both pregnancy and STDs.
When used correctly, they have an 85 per cent effective rate. Condoms and internal condoms are the only methods of birth control that help prevent the spread of STDs, so it's still a good idea to use them even when you're on a different form of birth control.
For condoms to work well, they need to be used correctly every time you have sex. It might also take some time getting used to them.
This is a shallow, bendable cup that gets inserted into the vagina. It covers a woman's cervix during sex to prevent pregnancy.
When used correctly, it's 94 per cent effective. The diaphragm is portable, reusable and hormone-free.
Diaphragms have to be used every time you have sex, and you have to use it correctly. They can be a little tricky to use correctly and can be moved out of place during sex. This method also doesn't protect you from STDs.

with server troubles, but despite their help I think I've finally made the break through and am back on all four paws again (and me being effectively these days a technological dodo).
who only sit and watch with jaundiced eye—
—whilst pondering all possible meanings of the words "You reap what you sow". As in, for example—
The Royal Navy has suffered a manning crisis since Government cutbacks in 2010 and, despite high-profile television adverts, faces a shortfall of 2,000 sailors across the fleet.
Oh dear … not enough hands, they'll have to cut down their flagship to just two banks of oars …
In a legal loophole which allows the MoD to avoid full liability, those who sign up to dust off their uniforms will enlist as Full Time Reservists, given contracts and terms of service for just five years before they are back in civilian life.
Punitive cuts in 2010 saw 12 vessels axed from the fleet and 5,000 jobs lost, with plans to increase this by a further 1,000 by 2020.
Last night former First Sea Lord Admiral Lord West said: "We are paying the price for ill-judged cuts to the Royal Navy announced by the Coalition Government in 2010.
So they are advertising for silly old poops to come out of retirement and rejoin? Is this such a good idea, really—do they actually believe that some vintage hairy-arsed ancient matelot will fit into the modern culturally-sensitive non-sexist tot-free modern fleet?
really possible to take the 'wooden ships and iron men' old salts and fit them into iron ships with … (gulp) wimmin?
I'd say no, as in not.
Let the dead bury their dead and all that stuff; they might get a few sign up out of nostalgia for a way of life that no longer exists; or a few from patriotism, perverse curiosity, or love of bonus … but would it actually work? Or is it that same mentality now desperately clutching at straws?
I think it's someone's idea of a joke.
And just as an afterthought: have the clever folks of the RN's design teams figured out what to do about the problems with their all-singing all-dancing modern destroyers? You know what I'm on about … them battle boats that can't go into warmish waters … but don't fret, recycled retirees can pull on the sweeps (oars) as well now as they could fifty years ago. Boom boom~!

Jenny Riga
BSc (Hons), MSc, MBPsS
Clinical Trials Manager
SuMMiT-D, PACE Oxford
PACE is a randomised controlled trial that aims to evaluate whether using a CRP point of care test (POCT) results in better targeting of antibiotic treatment than usual care informed by NICE and GOLD guidelines. The primary outcomes are the overall consumption of antibiotics for COPD and patient-rated clinical recovery from their acute exacerbations, with the aim being to reduce overall antibiotic use without compromising patient recovery.
SuMMiT-D is a six-year NIHR funded programme aiming to develop a digital-health messaging tool to support people with type 2 diabetes in taking their medication and managing their condition.
I have previously worked on:
INVICTUS: A large scale Phase II trial aiming to determine the safety and efficacy of a new flu vaccine in combination with the seasonal flu vaccine in adults 65 years and older.
RIVET: A pilot study aiming to examine the feasibility and acceptability of the baseline and follow-up processes of INVICTUS.
ATAFUTI: A phase III trial investigating alternative treatments to antibiotics in adult women with suspected UTI.
ALIC4E-Oxford: An open adaptive-platform randomised trial examining the use of antivirals for flu-like illness as a clinical and cost effective treatment (compared to current best practice).
TOAST: investigating treatment options without antibiotics for sore throat.
Prior to my current position:
Assistant project manager at the Diabetes Trials Unit (OCDEM): working on a multinational secondary care trial (EXSCEL).
Qualitative research assistant at the Health Experiences Research Group (HERG): working on projects related to:

Aloha folks!
Today is a glorious and radiant day. Today, I came a little bit closer to completing my dream of ever spending my time on a sandy beach somewhere in the pacific Ocean. From as soon as we'll be so fortunate to see any form of sunshine, I'll be able to bask in the glorious feeling that Maui Jim just provided in the form of these shiny sunglasses. Honestly, I cannot express the gratitude I have for this company, not only did they provide me and my friends & family with a great selection of gorgeous looking sunglasses, they do it in a very stylish way even. I'm talking about a gorgeous presentation of quality materials here people. Comfy cases for handy transportation, reversible cleaning cloth pouches and a certification of my prescription for my modified sunglasses. As I said, pure quality.
I cannot for the best of my possibilities, come up with one negative item about this. So with that in mind, thank you Maui Jim, and I wouldn't dare not to thank one special person (who went out of her way for me to fiddle with all the administration details), I'm talking about my good friend Izzie. Thank you hun. A lot.
Alright, time to go make some few good people very happy in the upcoming minutes. Christmas might've just come a bit earlier for 'm!

Castello: Collection Canadian (KKK)
Product Number: 002-386-2695
Though Castello's bolder, wilder freehand variations are all quite impressive, there's just something so charming about their more classical renditions, taking an old shape chart form and tweaking it slightly per their own Italian style. A fine example of that here in this gorgeous Canadian, featuring a touch of extra visual weight lent to the bowl yet otherwise kept quite classical in its lines and taper. Excellent flame grain on this Collection grade as well.- Andrew Wike

Firemen have successfully controlled the fire which gutted parts of the Pedestrian Shopping Mall at Kwame Nkrumah Circle in Accra.
The Wednesday evening fire consumed ten shops, Fire personnel told Joy News' Anny Osabutey. But eye witnesses feared more shops had been affected.
The fire was said to have started around 7:30 pm. The cause is still unknown.
Heartbroken victims were loud in tears, mourning over lost properties while fire personnel desperately attempted to put out the fire.
Some of the victims were reported to be in shock, largely because the market had been locked with all traders driven out.
They were unsure what must have triggered the outbreak.
This is the second fire to hit that market within the past few months.
The fire personnel say they will investigate to ascertain the cause soon.

If any lesson can be learned from Site Selection magazine's 1997 Deals of the Year, it is that every deal is different. The deals ranged from the simple to the complex, the use of lots of incentives to no incentives and the creation of only a few hundred jobs to several thousand jobs.
This year the editors had lots of big deals to choose from so they announced a top 10 and 25 runner-ups. Unfortunately, none of those 35 were in Mississippi, but two economic development organizations from the Magnolia State were recognized under the category of Top Economic Development Organizations — The Community Development Foundation in Tupelo and the Economic Development Authority of Jones County. Harry Martin of Tupelo and Mitch Stennett of Laurel are two of the best in Mississippi and are very deserving of the recognition. More details about both appear elsewhere in this issue, but I couldn't let this opportunity go by without adding my kudos.
Amazon.com, the on-line bookstore, was featured for its headquarters move to Seattle. What is so unique about the deal was its move to the fourth floor of a very old Seattle building. Its 250 employees spend most of their time behind a computer so the company needed a place where high-tech computer talent was available — without Silicon Valley prices. Amazon has minimal need for inventory because most of its sales are outsourced. There will be more companies like this in the future. Investment: $3.5 million (est.) Jobs: 250.
Then there is the Boeing deal, which landed in Decatur, Ala. after flirting with a few other states, including Mississippi. In contrast to Amazon's fourth floor in downtown, Boeing is expected to build a 2-million square-foot facility and is expected to employ 3,000. Alabama offered Boeing $80 million in incentives, with strong clawback provisions if it doesn't get built. According to a Boeing vice president, Alabama beat out other sites by having available workers, training and in-place infrastructure, including the Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway, which will facilitate shipping to Florida and California. Investment: $400 million. Jobs: 3,000.
Jeep had to move from its existing location in downtown Toledo, Ohio. The factory was over 90 years old and spread out over 61 buildings. Toledo and Ohio stepped up to the plate and gave Jeep a reason to stay in town. A $223-million incentive package "…was pivotal in Toledo's keeping Jeep." The company will locate on a brownfield site next to the existing site.
There's one thing about the deal that is puzzling however.
To justify the incentive package a local leader said that the company will generate $350 million in payroll taxes over 10 years. The point of this deal is that a community can keep a big employer from moving. The company was impressed by a community that wanted it to stay. The community demonstrated its love for Jeep by doing things other than throwing incentives its way.
There were parades, songs, billboards and numerous meetings. Reminds one of a base closure retention effort. Investment: $1.2 billion. Jobs: 4,900.
Not every company needs incentives to expand or relocate. Gateway, the computer giant, is opening a facility in Salt Lake City. It's getting no tax breaks, but is receiving a loan and some job training from the state. It will build a 260,000-square-foot facility that will turn out 8,000 personal computers a day. In this case, business factors outweighed incentives offered by other states. According to the senior vice president, Salt lake City offered "…quality labor, great quality of life, a recognized education system and Utah's values." Investment: $20 million. Jobs: 1,350.
One more deal and I'll close. MCI, which is in the process of merging with WorldCom, searched 20 cities for its new 240,000-square-foot Information Technology Center. The center's employees, mostly electrical engineers and computer programmers, will develop new products and customer solutions. It needed a high-tech city and it found one in St. Louis, where there are now over 1,000 high-tech companies. A lesson here is that a community must have the type labor needed by an employer. Investment: $43 million. Jobs: 1,200.
In summary, every deal is different and custom-made for both the community and the company.

Cure Leukaemia helps blood cancer patients to access pioneering drug and transplant treatments by funding a network of specialist research nurses across the UK. Without these nurses, to ensure patients are monitored and cared for, clinical trials of these new treatments would not run and patients, that have exhausted standard treatment options, would miss out on potentially lifesaving therapies. Every penny raised for Cure Leukaemia helps save lives and also hastens global progress towards the eradication of all forms of blood cancer.

Expat Experience: Adam Sweet, Prague
Posted: Sat Aug 31, 2013 7:43 pm
I'm currently in my early 30s, and I have never really done anything the way that people consider 'normal'. I had a pretty normal upbringing in a middle-class family in the suburbs of San Francisco, in the United States. But after I finished high school I stopped doing things the way I was 'supposed to'.
It took me nearly seven years to finish university because I chose to work at a half-dozen different jobs while I studied. When I graduated I chose to move abroad to the Czech Republic as an English teacher instead of get a job and start a family. But I wasn't satisfied with that kind of life either and decided to open a bar with my friend here in Prague...

|Mile 26, almost there
in your memorized stride
I feel I own it
Nothing on your face
in distance

But joy!
Wait! it wasn't a smile
something more in the lift of your being
The victorious fist raised

Closer, closer
with movement of the core
and other fluid parts
meeting in agreement
Satisfying my patience
Satisfying my patience
I know now
You have done well
Shall we celebrate?I need not ask

Police in Papua New Guinea are seeking the return of almost 300 cars, which were loaned to officials during last year's Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (Apec) summit.
The luxury fleet was imported so visiting leaders could be driven around in style in a country mired in poverty.
But a police commander said on Tuesday that 284 vehicles are missing.
The cars include Landcruisers, Fords, Mazdas and Pajeros, Superintendent Dennis Corcoran said.
A special police unit has been assembled to find them in Papua New Guinea's capital, Port Moresby.
"There are 284 vehicles that were issued to personnel to use during Apec that haven't been returned as yet," superintendent Dennis Corcoran, told news agency Reuters.
Fortunately the priciest cars - Maseratis worth more than $100,000 (£75,000) each - have been located, the officer added.
"All 40 of the Maseratis and the three Bentleys are in top condition and locked away in the old wharf shed down on the main wharf," he said.
According to police, nine of the missing cars have been stolen, and some have had parts removed. Others were returned "pretty seriously damaged".
Leaders of the South Pacific nation of 7.3 million people had hoped the global conference would attract investment and draw international attention to the country.
But hosting the event stretched the country's resources, and it required assistance from other nations.
Australia, the US and New Zealand all sent special forces troops to make sure attendees would be safe.
At the time, both media and activists questioned whether it made sense for the poor Pacific country to host an international event like the Apec summit.
Critics saw the hundreds of official cars as symbolic of government waste.

Friday morn saw us pull the pins mid morning. We had not got far to travel, just enough to charge up the batteries. The journey in was uber familiar. This is a route we have covered many many times. The weather was pleasant and the views over the rolling Northamptonshire countryside could not be bettered. It was a slow journey as we were following a hire boat who was taking it easy, enjoying the journey and slowing down passing moored boats. This year for some reason, we have become more aware of just how quickly boats now travel when passing moored boats, because we have been on the receiving end so often perhaps. So it was nice to see a boater showing consideration. The main culprits are undoubtedly private owners, of shall we say, a certain age!
Anyway, at the picturesque junction, with the familiar church spire on the horizon, we turned right. The visitor moorings were busy, but we spied a space opposite the Boathouse P.H. and we were in. We spent the day wandering between Bottom lock and Midland chandlers, buying a few bits and pieces, then chilled out on the boat.
In the evening we met Paul and Jane at the Boathouse. This is a two meals for a tenner establishment, so not high cuisine, but the beer is good! With the exception of Paul's meal, which was a dry and bland burger, ours were ok. Enjoyed the beer perhaps a little to much though.......

Locks O
This morning, after Ali had walked in for bread and milk, we slowly made our way past the numerous moored boats. As nothing had passed us heading for the locks, we expected a relatively easy passage. How wrong were we.
The first indication was when a boat passed us and warned the locks were somewhat chaotic. The pounds were low and they were queueing. As we approached bottom lock, we saw two boats entering the lock, with another waiting. We joined them. Apparently, the low water levels were a result of someone draining the Buckby flight. Eventually, it was our turn. The lady piloting our companion boat, ordered, and I mean ordered me to enter the lock first. Hackles up! When she eventually joined me in the lock, she said this was to ascertain my competency. Cheeky cow. It was one of those, "we look down on you" moments and she announced they were live aboards, as if this gave them some seniority in the pecking order.
As we left the lock, we could see the water levels were seriously low. Strangely, there was a single boat waiting to ascend the next lock, although we had only seen pairs ascending. Apparently there had been some sort of kerfuffle earlier when a boat drove straight into a lock, ahead of the two boats who had worked it. Looks like this was the culprit and had been abandoned. We let our erstwhile companions join the miscreant in ascending the rest of the locks, whilst we were joined by a lovely couple who had come up the first lock alone.
It was slow going, painfully so. At one stage there were six boats in a short pound, add to this the fact that the bottom was too close to the top, made it fun. Not really, it was tedious. The six locks on this flight took longer to ascend than the twenty one at Hatton. By the time we left the last lock, we were knackered. The water level had recovered somewhat and our lock companions waved us ahead as we bade then farewell. Not a boat was moving towards us and Braunston tunnel was eerily quiet. We could see through and no lights greeted us, so a swift passage was made . Back in the daylight, we puttered on to Norton junction, then a swift left onto the Leicester line. Almost full circle now and home, but not quite.
We have moored for the day just prior to Bells bridge, all on our lonesome. Well we were until 1830 when another boat joined us. So the last locks of the season for us tomorrow, the last tunnel, then into the marina.....

For many of you, this 1989 Newark Star-Ledger photo of father and son in a field of Scotch pine was your first glimpse of the Rosemont Tree Farm. It's been whispered that the father seems amazingly unweathered by the 15 years that have passed since that cold December morning. As for the son, however, the spinning wheel of time has worked its unstoppable magic, transforming the toboggan-hatted tree farm taste-tester of hot chocolate and candy canes into the young man who this August packed his bags, called out a cheery "Adios," and jauntily headed off to join his big sister in that grand adventure known as "college." It is perhaps understandable that thoughts here in Rosemont have therefore been reflective of late about the changes in life: the happy and the sad, and even those undeniably exciting ones that can nonetheless leave a parent feeling wistful and oddly ambivalent.
But here we are once again turning toward the winter solstice, and we're comforted in the thought that with it comes the season for those things that will never change. It'll be Christmas, and we'll be embraced by the joyful memories of such a special time in our lives. Maybe too much food and drink? Certainly, sparkly lights that will brighten a long night, the smell of fresh-cut pine, heart-felt greetings, inspiring carols, hidden secrets in shiny paper, the shouts of excited children. Most important of all, whether it's just for an evening meal or for an entire school winter break, we'll share those unchanging joys of this time of year with those we love.
So, a reminder that, once again the Rosemont Tree Farm is ready for all who would like to share some fresh air and a ramble through a field of trees with friends and family. Saws are sharpened; hot chocolate and candy canes stockpiled. The tree farm mobile is charged and ready for those not up to walking. Six-inch "candle wreaths" will be available along with our old favorite 16" variety. Young nieces and nephews are eager to step into the boots of those hot-shot college kids, waiting to help you with that perfect tree.
Perhaps before you head out to field, we'll pause to look at each other for a moment to marvel how, in this life of constant change, we find ourselves remarkably unscathed by the past year. And, if talk turns to a sharing of the rewards and trials of parent and grandparenthood, you can be sure that the knowing nods of agreement come from someone who has learned in the last few months just what it's all about.
Sweep oars have replaced bow saws as tree farm graduates take to the banks of the ol' Raritan. R U, Rah, Rah! R U, Rah, Rah!
2004 Annual Greeting.
Fifteen Years And Counting
The Rosemont Memory Farm
I have a very distinct memory of my first visit to a tree farm. Must have been 4 or 5 and, while I don't have a clue as to what kind of tree we got (that could be it in the photo), I can still remember very clearly a field of trees that seemed to go on forever, and that the tree farmer was apparently not big on mowing since I can also picture myself wading through chest-high grass. Anyway, I'm wandering around (I'd like to think it was in search for the perfect tree, but I think I was just wandering), when all of a sudden I realize I'd lost track of my father. I call out and get no reply. I turn to holler in the other direction, and just at that moment I hear a terrifying war whoop as an Iroquois brave leaps from the tall grass, racing toward me, a spiked war club held high above his head. Anybody else seeing this might have said that it was only my father pretending to be an indian, but I know an Iroquois brave when I see one. I turn and start running down the hill (like, you're going to run uphill from an indian?). It's just amazing the little things you can remember from even so long ago. The unseasonable warmth of the sun on my face. The swish of the tall grass as my short legs churned as fast as they could. And, most vividly of all, I can remember just the sheer terror that swept through me as I imagined myself the hapless settler who, in just a few more steps, would be brought down by one thunk of that war club, and watch as, with one final whoop, my scalp is lifted skyward as an offering to the Great Scalp God.
Yeah, not one of your classic Christmas (or politically correct) stories, but it's a nice memory of me and my dad that was tickled back into consciousness as I was working on the trees one hot day this past summer. Many years ago, when I first started planting trees in Rosemont, and my kids were still the proverbial glint in their mother's eyes, I thought that tree farming was just about trees. Plant them. Grow them. Come and get 'em. But then, in the years after the farm was opened for harvesting in 1989, I started to come to the understanding that there might be something else going on that wasn't just about trees. Oh, sure, a tree farm needs well-tended trees, and you certainly value the chance to get a tree fresh from the field, but the laughter and shouts and squeals that I heard out in the field during Christmas tree season hinted that my customers were returning to the shed with more than the perfect tree. Could it be that the trees are just the prop for the harvesting of something else, something that will last for years to come, only to reappear in memory when you least expect it? Would it perhaps be more appropriate to start calling this place the "Rosemont Memory Farm"?
"May memory restore again and again the smallest color of the smallest day." Delmore Schwartz
Well, the name (for now) remains unchanged, but the Rosemont Tree Farm will once again be open Thanksgiving Friday to provide you with your Christmas tree and memory needs. Everything is pretty much as you may remember. Hot chocolate. Candy cane tree. An eclectic assortment of music sounding from the shed's speakers. Trees are still $35 & $45, and wreaths (while they last) are $10 & $20.
As for the memories that you and your family will take home? No charge.

Tree Farm Magic
Every family has its own particular Christmas traditions, and one of the traditions at the Rosemont Tree Farm on Christmas Eve day is to take a tour of the field to round up missing saws and carts, retrieve an assortment of mittens, scarves and hats, and just to check to make sure that nobody took home a tree but left a kid behind. Hey, you never know. It's also the time to take stock of the state of the remaining trees and, I've got to admit it, at the end of the last few seasons things have looked pretty sad. Demand for trees has been very strong, and every tree with any quality ended up being harvested, leaving a sorry-looking collection of scrawy, short and defect-ridden trees that even Charlie Brown would find unacceptable. "Doesnt' look like there's a tree more than 6' tall. Oy! There's no way that these will be Christmas-worthy trees next year. We'll just have to close for a year and hope that something will become available after a couple of years of growth."
With the arrival of April's warm sun, it's time to forget the dispair about the ruined tree farm and to get busy with the planting of the seedlings that (it is hoped) will become Christmas trees in 8 to 10 years. And, as I'm focused on spring tasks, I really don't take much note of the new growth that is emerging from the buds of last winter's scrawny, leftover trees. Even so, it doesn't make them look any better since now, instead of being scrawny, they've gone to being shaggy and scrawny with all of those limp and droopy new twigs. Well, whoop dee doo.
Except for a change in the things-to-do list, that's pretty much the way it is until well into the summer. Time to do this and time to do that, and what's the point when the labor's just going into producing short, scrawny trees? But then it happens. You'd think I've have figured it out by now, and that I'd stop being surprised, but there always comes a mid-summer morning when I walk out in the field and discover that something magical has occurred. Sometime overnight those scrawny, 5' and 6' trees that you wouldn't use as a chimney brush have turned into 7', 8', 9' and even 10' Christmas trees!
You probably don't believe me, so all I can do is invite you to check out what I can only call "tree farm magic." Just don't wait too long since, while the magic is pretty strong, it doesn't replace the trees that will be harvested in the weeks after Thanksgiving. But, if you'd like to show up Christmas Eve day, you can take a walk in the field with me and once again lament that there won't be any trees next year.
2009 Annual Greeting
European Styling
Most people have a passing knowledge of the history of the Christmas tree. At the very least, they know that it had become a common holiday feature in Germany by the 1500s. That homesick Hessian soldiers fighting with the British in the Revolutionary War supposedly decorated evergreen trees at Christmas. And that the tradition gained its greatest popularity the instant that England's Queen Victoria and her German husband, Prince Albert (long before they put him in a can) brought a Christmas tree into the family digs.
You certainly recognize that the Christmas tree is now the decorative holiday centerpiece in the U.S. and throughout Europe, but what you might not appreciate is how different the ideal of the "perfect tree" is from one side of the Atlantic to the other. In the U.S., the "industry standard" is a very full and dense tree that requires careful annual shaping by the tree farmer (Yes, Virginia, trees don't grow that way naturally). You shouldn't be able to see the tree's center stem, and any tree that you can see straight through is dismissed as being "scraggly." And, while you're at it, the tree must be full, but make sure it has lots of room for the ornaments. A pretty good trick, eh? Required time from the planting of the seedling to the harvest of an 8' U.S. Christmas tree? About 8 to 10 years.
Now, the Europeans just don't get this "full tree" thing at all, and they (somewhat derisively) refer to the U.S. standard as a "Donald Duck" tree, a reference to the type of tree that Donald Duck harvested in a 1949 Disney cartoon (
click here for video
). For them, the "perfect" tree needs to be very open with a wide scaffolding of branches because on Christmas Eve the family has to gather and sing carols around a Christmas tree adorned with (yikes!) lighted candles. This is a particularly nice tradition for the tree farmer since these open-grown trees don't need the shearing that would otherwise hold back growth, and you're also ready for harvest in only 4 to 5 years.
suitable for lighted candles, but we've been pleased with the variations in style that have been added to the field overall. For those of you with the special, heirloom ornaments that need to be properly displayed, the more open branch spacing might be just what you're looking for.
During the last few years the annual shaping of the trees at the Rosemont Tree Farm has included thoughts of the European style of tree, and we've been doing a bit of experimenting here and there with a "looser" type of shearing. We don't think we'll ever have trees that are
So, whether you'd like to try out some "European styling" this year, or just want to stay with the good ol' US of A, "Donald Duck"-type of tree, we've got about 1,000, 5'-12' trees of varying shapes and densities ready for your inspection this year. Since we don't want to exclude anyone from the "Donald Duck" or "European" tree argument, the Tree Farm Mobile will be ready to carry any family member who might have trouble getting around. And, if energies start to flag, the candy cane tree and the hot chocolate will be ready to give your blood sugar a boost. Before you leave you can even pick out one of our "Donald Duck" wreaths.
Rain or shine, we'll be here Thursdays through Sundays from Thanksgiving until Christmas.
Bis später !
Eine tannenbaum mit raum für zierrat? Ja! Wir haben sie.

Location: Lincoln, Nebraska
Website: http://thekindlerhotel.com
Number of Rooms: 49
Meeting Space: Ballroom to accommodate up to 180 people. Board room to accommodate up to 16 people.
Food & Beverage: Boitano's Lounge, menu developed by Brian Boitano
In many ways, The Kindler Hotel in Lincoln, Nebraska embodies what IDM does best. Lincoln's first and only independent boutique hotel will anchor a larger effort by the city to define a cultural district and draw attention to venues like the Lied Center for Performing Arts, the Sheldon Museum of Art, and the Johnny Carson Theater. IDM has been part of several other milestone hotel projects (Hotel Vandivort, Hotel Julien Dubuque, Jefferson Street Inn) in markets that previously had not been served by luxury lodging.
The Kindler Hotel comes to the city during the largest period of growth in its history. Located downtown just blocks away from the Historic Haymarket District and University of Nebraska-Lincoln, The Kindler Hotel effortlessly blends Lincoln's local character with a modern West Coast aesthetic to create a refined Midwestern experience. The hotel is a vertical expansion of the building originally sited on the property and includes the historic restoration of the Commercial Building, an historic property built in 1925 that is home to Lincoln institution Misty's Steakhouse.
But the hotel's story is about more than sophisticated accommodations in a location that's prime for both sports fans and culture enthusiasts. Nick and Brooke Castaneda took the opportunity to develop a hotel in Lincoln in part because Brooke, a Lincoln native, maintains close ties to the area where much of her family still resides. The husband-and-wife team, along with Brooke's family, then decided to call the property The Kindler Hotel to honor Brooke's father, Ken Kindler, who passed away in 2014.
Mr. Kindler, who was what his family calls a passionate "garage artist," created because he loved to do it. The hotel's design team incorporated elements that pay homage to his metal sculptures and the rich art history of Nebraska. On the food and beverage front, the development team tapped Food Network host, cookbook author, and Olympic gold medalist figure skater Brian Boitano to design the cocktail menu as well as wine and small bites pairings. The hotel's interior was brought to life by designer Ross Vincent. Events and meetings will be held in the historic ballroom of the Commercial Club.

Today our Rotary Club presented to Addy Pfitzer and Paxton Laser Citizen of the Month at the Emerald Elementary School assembly. They were nominated by Mr. Chavez for outstanding empathy, integrity and kindness during our Dragon Dash fun run. Even though both kids had qualified for the challenge run, when they came upon a struggling and sad kindergartner, they stopped their challenge runs and ran the rest of the race with that kindergartner (at a snail's pace). All three crossed the finish line together with an extremely proud kindergartner! This truly is living in the Rotary motto of "Service above Self"!
Pictured with Addy and Paxton are Emerald Elementary School Principal Samara Williams, Rotary President Jeff Power, and Rotary Club Emerald School liaison Carol Norcross.
We are so pleased as a Rotary Club to support Emerald Elementary School, it's outstanding staff, and great students!

Zombies are all the rage right now (have been for a while). Scooby Doo is the gateway drug from zombie-lovers. Zombieland made the undead almost funny (poor Bill Murray), and Brad Pitt helped us fall in love with zombies on crack in World War Z. The Walking Dead phenomenon took normal, unassuming quiet people and turned them into full fledged fans of the rotting flesh-bag battle. Resident Evil gave the gamers a taste for the zombie scourging. And of course, for classic zombie-fans, there will always be those old-school blood-and-guts-everywhere films from the 70's and 80's.
I'm not a huge fan of zombies. I did read Pride and Prejudice and Zombies by Quickbooks (soon to be a movie in theaters). Working for a book store at the time, my coworker/bestie and I put together a book display for it that won us $500 for best display in North America. Confession #2: I also acted in a short zombie film in college. I played the role of a doting mother to my child-born-zombie.
OTHER THAN THAT, I've never had a thing for undead movies or ghoulish dress up. I have never particularly enjoyed the gore and guts of Halloween. (This blog post helped me see the potential in Halloween, making it almost my favorite holiday ever.) However, I think that zombies have a place in the Christian conversation.
So, if you think you know zombies, I dare you to read on… Continue reading So You Think You Know Zombies?

Get access to the latest nutrition research
By becoming an Examine Plus member, you'll have access to all of the latest nutrition research on over 300 supplements across over 500 different health goals, outcomes, conditions, and more.
Human Effect Matrix
The Human Effect Matrix looks at human studies (it excludes animal and in vitro studies) to tell you what supplements affect libido.
|Level of Evidence [show legend]
|Robust research conducted with repeated double-blind clinical trials
|Multiple studies where at least two are double-blind and placebo controlled
|Single double-blind study or multiple cohort studies
|Uncontrolled or observational studies only
Level of Evidence
? The amount of high quality evidence. The more evidence, the more we can trust the results.
Magnitude of effect
? The direction and size of the supplement's impact on each outcome. Some supplements can have an increasing effect, others have a decreasing effect, and others have no effect.
Consistency of research results
? Scientific research does not always agree. HIGH or VERY HIGH means that most of the scientific research agrees.
|Very High See all 3 studies
An increase in libido appears to occur following Maca ingestion, which is notable as it appears to influence all demographics and is not associated with systemic hormones
|Very High See all 3 studies
Insufficient evidence to support an increase in libido despite increases in androgen status
|Very High See all 4 studies
Although a potential benefit cannot be ruled out at this moment in time (the first pilot study showed promise and there are some responders), overall ginkgo does not appear to influence SSRI-induced sexual dysfunction in more well conducted trials.
Frequently Asked Questions about Libido
Supplements that could help rev up your libido
Most supplements marketed as "libido enhancing" are just hype. Very few, like Maca and cocoa extract, have evidence indicating they may help.
Do herbal aphrodisiacs work?
It depends on the product touted to be an aphrodisiac, but some of them do apparently increase sexual desire; it is a relatively under-researched topic though, and we don't know why they increase sexuality.

To help you comprehend the approach of electric car conversion it requires the removal of the complete combustion engine, and then mounting an electric motor in location of the engine that has been detached. In the wake of the ongoing emissions scandal rocking Porsche's parent organization VW, electric drivetrain technologies is becoming rapidly-tracked all through the Volkswagen empire – click right here to study far more. The car's ride is difficult although, due to the vehicle riding on low-profile tyres and the weight of the batteries. Nissan is likely to preview a notion automobile at auto shows prior to that launch, he stated.
For example, the rear of the auto features LED tail lights and indicators integrated into the roof, reminiscent of the iconic 1955 DS. Movable LED daytime operating lights – which can rotate 180 degrees – are also a nod to the original car's directional headlights. Other electric autos (EVs) that get in the list are: the ideal promoting electric automobile in Japan iMiEV, Coda, BYD, Wheego LiFe, and Smart Electric Drive.

RICHMOND – You wouldn't eat 54 cubes of sugar, so why are you drinking them?
That's how much sugar is in the average 64-ounce soda and kids will get a chance to see that firsthand at any one of the more than 175 Rev Your Bev Day events being hosted by the Virginia Foundation for Healthy Youth on Wednesday May 15 at schools and youth centers across Virginia. The flagship event will be held at the C. Waldo Scott Center for H.O.P.E. in Newport News at 2:30 p.m. on May 15.
"Soda and sugary drinks are the biggest single source of calories from sugar in the American diet.[1] The average American drinks approximately 44 gallons of soda each year[2] so this is a critical issue for preventing and reducing childhood obesity," says Virginia Foundation for Healthy Youth Obesity Prevention Coordinator Heidi Hertz.
For every additional sugary drink consumed per day, a child's risk of becoming overweight increases by 60 percent[3] and it takes more than an hour of walking to burn off the 240 calories in a 24-ounce cola bottle.[4]
Schools and organizations participating in the Virginia Foundation for Healthy Youth's first Rev Your Bev Day will also assist in a statewide health survey being conducted by VFHY's high school volunteer group Y Street, which will be collecting information about Virginians' behaviors and attitudes regarding sugary drinks.
More information about Rev Your Bev Day, including a map of all the events being held across Virginia, can be found at www.revyourbev.com.
Y Street is the Virginia Foundation for Healthy Youth's award-winning youth-led volunteer movement with a mission to increase public awareness and knowledge of two critical health issues: obesity and tobacco use. More than 6,000 teens have participated in Y Street across Virginia since 2004. Y Street was named the top youth advocacy group for tobacco-use prevention in the nation in 2011 by the Washington, D.C.-based nonprofit Campaign for Tobacco Free Kids. Y Street members have presented data from health surveys to top government officials, including the U.S. Surgeon General, the Food and Drug Administration, and Virginia's governor, attorney general and secretary of Health and Human Resources.
About the Virginia Foundation for Healthy Youth:
Established by the Virginia General Assembly in 1999, the Virginia Foundation for Healthy Youth is responsible for statewide efforts to prevent and reduce youth tobacco use and childhood obesity. Since the Foundation began its work in 2001, high school smoking in Virginia has been cut more than in half and the number of middle school smokers has dropped by more than 70 percent.
With the Virginia Foundation for Healthy Youth's help, Virginia has already reached the CDC's Healthy People 2020 goal of cutting youth smoking in Virginia to below 13.5 percent of high school students by 2020.
The Virginia Foundation for Healthy Youth directly reaches about 50,000 children each year through classroom-based prevention programs in public schools, after-school programs, community centers, daycares and prevention programs across the state. VFHY's award-winning marketing campaign delivers prevention messages to more than 500,000 children annually through TV and radio ads and Internet content. For more information, visit www.vfhy.org .
