Most Cambodians consider themselves to be Khmers, descendants of the Angkor Empire that extended over much of Southeast Asia and reached its zenith between the 10th and 13th centuries. Attacks by the Thai and Cham (from present-day Vietnam) weakened the empire, ushering in a long period of decline. The king placed the country under French protection in 1863, and it became part of French Indochina in 1887. Following Japanese occupation in World War II, Cambodia gained full independence from France in 1953. In April 1975, after a seven-year struggle, communist Khmer Rouge forces captured Phnom Penh and evacuated all cities and towns. At least 1.5 million Cambodians died from execution, forced hardships, or starvation during the Khmer Rouge regime under POL POT. A December 1978 Vietnamese invasion drove the Khmer Rouge into the countryside, began a 10-year Vietnamese occupation, and touched off almost 13 years of civil war.
The 1991 Paris Peace Accords mandated democratic elections and a cease-fire, which was not fully respected by the Khmer Rouge. UN-sponsored elections in 1993 helped restore some semblance of normalcy under a coalition government. Factional fighting in 1997 ended the first coalition government, but a second round of national elections in 1998 led to the formation of another coalition government and renewed political stability. The remaining elements of the Khmer Rouge surrendered in early 1999. Some of the surviving Khmer Rouge leaders have been tried or are awaiting trial for crimes against humanity by a hybrid UN-Cambodian tribunal supported by international assistance. Elections in July 2003 were relatively peaceful, but it took one year of negotiations between contending political parties before a coalition government was formed. In October 2004, King Norodom SIHANOUK abdicated the throne and his son, Prince Norodom SIHAMONI, was selected to succeed him. The most recent local (Commune Council) elections were held in Cambodia in 2012, with little of the preelection violence that preceded prior elections. National elections in July 2013 were disputed, with the opposition - the Cambodian National Rescue Party (CNRP) - boycotting the National Assembly. The political impasse was ended nearly a year later, with the CNRP agreeing to enter parliament in exchange for ruling party commitments to electoral and legislative reforms.

current situation: Cambodia is a source, transit, and destination country for men, women, and children subjected to forced labor and sex trafficking; Cambodian men, women, and children migrate to countries within the region and, increasingly, the Middle East for legitimate work but are subjected to sex trafficking, domestic servitude, or forced labor in fishing, agriculture, construction, and factories; Cambodian men recruited to work on Thai-owned fishing vessels are subsequently subjected to forced labor in international waters and are kept at sea for years; poor Cambodian children are vulnerable and, often with the families' complicity, are subject to forced labor, including domestic servitude and forced begging, in Thailand and Vietnam; Cambodian and ethnic Vietnamese women and girls are trafficked from rural areas to urban centers and tourist spots for sexual exploitation; Cambodian men are the main exploiters of child prostitutes, but men from other Asian countries, and the West travel to Cambodia for child sex tourism
tier rating: Tier 2 Watch List – Cambodia does not fully comply with the minimum standards for the elimination of trafficking; however, it is making significant efforts to do so; the government has a written plan that, if implemented, would constitute making significant efforts to meet the minimum standards for the elimination of trafficking; authorities made modest progress in prosecutions and convictions of traffickers in 2014 but did not provide comprehensive data; endemic corruption continued to impede law enforcement efforts, and no complicit officials were prosecuted or convicted; the government sustained efforts to identify victims and refer them to NGOs for care, but victim protection remained inadequate, particularly for assisting male victims and victims identified abroad; a new national action plan was adopted, but guidelines for victim identification and guidance on undercover investigation techniques are still pending after several years (2015)

NEW YORK -- Negotiations between hockey owners and players are going so well that NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman says he's "pleased with the process" -- even if he has been left outside the latest rounds of discussions.
Still stuck on the perimeter with players' association executive director Donald Fehr, Bettman made a brief statement Wednesday on the state of the ongoing lockout after the league's board of governors met for about two hours.
Bettman declined to take any questions as he stood at an NHL podium in a Manhattan hotel, just one floor away from where talks resumed for a second straight day. A ray of hope that a season-saving deal could be made emerged late Tuesday night after about eight hours of bargaining.
"We are pleased with the process that is ongoing, and out of respect for that process I don't have anything else to say," Bettman said.
Some executives spoke briefly as they scurried on New York streets and hopped into cars after the board of governors meeting. No details emerged, but the mood seemed positive.
"We feel good about the information we got," new Columbus Blue Jackets president John Davidson said.
Larry Tanenbaum of the Toronto Maple Leafs, one of the six owners participating in these negotiations, also painted an optimistic picture as he walked the few blocks back to the hotel hosting the meetings.
"We're going to continue to talk up until we get a deal," said Tanenbaum, who added there is more clarity on both sides where each group stands. "All I can say is as long as we're talking we're hopeful."
If a breakthrough can be made soon, the delayed and shortened hockey season could get going quickly.
"I've always been hopeful there would be a season," said Lou Lamoriello, the New Jersey Devils president and general manager. "Right now we just have to leave it in the hands of the people that are talking."
The same negotiators were expected to participate in talks Wednesday, with minor tweaks to the large contingent of players.
Meanwhile, the Quebec Labour Relations Board granted a joint request from the NHL and NHLPA to postpone the hearing that was slated to take place Thursday and Friday, a source confirmed to ESPNNewYork.com. The hearing has been adjourned while the two sides focus on continued bargaining.
Bargaining stretched on Tuesday night until about midnight, and it was clear progress was made when deputy commissioner Bill Daly stood side by side with union special counsel Steve Fehr and issued a rare joint status report. Negotiations took place in a pair of sessions that included various sized groups.
The sides are trying to avoid another lost season. The NHL became the first North American professional sports league to cancel a full year because of a labor dispute back in 2005. The deal reached then was in place until this September, and the lockout was enacted on Sept. 16 after that agreement expired.
The lockout reached its 81st day Wednesday. The main issues are how to split revenue and issues surrounding how player contracts are set up. The league had more than $3 billion in the 2011-12 season but an analysis by Forbes magazine recently showed a major gap between profitable teams those that operate in the red.
"We had a long day," Steve Fehr said Tuesday. "We thought it was a constructive day. We had a good dialogue. In some ways I'd say it might be the best day we've had, which isn't too overly optimistic of a picture. There is still a lot of work to do and a lot to be done."
Daly echoed Fehr's comments, and spoke well of the talks.
"I appreciate the efforts of the players," Daly said. "Everybody is working hard. I think everybody wants to get a deal done, so that's encouraging. We look forward to hopefully making more progress."
That was the extent of the details revealed by the two sides, which could be another good sign that neither group wanted to say anything that could throw the discussions off the rails.
All games through Dec. 14, along with the New Year's Day Winter Classic and the All-Star game, have been wiped off the schedule.
Originally the thought was no one other than owners and players would be in attendance for Tuesday's meeting, but each side had staff present, as well. The six selected owners were Tanenbaum, Ron Burkle (Pittsburgh Penguins), Mark Chipman (Winnipeg Jets), Murray Edwards (Calgary Flames), Jeremy Jacobs (Boston Bruins), and Jeff Vinik (Tampa Bay Lightning).
Jacobs, considered one of the hard-line owners, and Edwards are the only members of the group of six to have taken part in previous negotiations.
The NHL had no objection for more than six players to take part, so Sidney Crosby, Jonathan Toews, Shane Doan, Brad Richards, Martin St. Louis, Ryan Miller, Craig Adams, David Backes, Michael Cammalleri, B.J. Crombeen, Mathieu Darche, Ron Hainsey, Shawn Horcoff, Jamal Mayers, Manny Malhotra, Andy McDonald, George Parros and Kevin Westgarth joined the union's negotiating team on Tuesday.

Queen Elizabeth II photobombed an Australian athlete's selfie while attending the 20th Commonwealth Games in Glasglow, Scotland on Thursday.
Her Majesty was all smiles in the picture that went viral after it was shared by Aussie field hockey player Jayde Taylor.
"Ahhh The Queen photo-bombed our selfie!" tweeted Taylor.
The field hockey player told ABC News that she and her teammate Brook Peris strategically set up the photo.
"Brooke and I planned it so that when she came out the door she would be behind us," she explained. "And then she came out and smiled at the camera! We were in the right spot at the right time."
Taylor also had the opportunity to meet the Queen, who greeted athletes during the sporting event.
"She asked us a bit about the pitch, how we were going and told us to enjoy our time here," she said. "She was lovely. Really, really lovely."
While Queen Elizabeth's "photobomb" was merely accidental on her part, it sure made for an amazing snapshot.
Check out the hilarious picture below!

Study: Distracted driving deaths underreported
WASHINGTON Seventeen-year-old Kelsey Raffaele's last words were over a cellphone to a friend: "I'm going to crash!" The car she was driving had clipped a snow bank and spun into oncoming traffic, where it was T-boned by an SUV. She died at a hospital without regaining consciousness.
Police chalked the accident up to mistakes made by a novice driver, unaware that she had been on the phone at the time. Her phone was found later in the back seat, and the possibility that distracted driving might have been a cause is missing from statistics kept by police and the federal agency that compiles crash data.
Crash deaths in cases where drivers were on the phone are seriously underreported, according to a recent analysis of state and federal data by the National Safety Council, an advocacy group. The underreporting makes the problem of distracted driving appear less significant than it actually is, and impedes efforts to win passage of tougher laws, the council says.
- Study shows disturbing reality of texting while driving
- Parents hope photo of son's fatal text serves as warning
The group reviewed 180 fatal crashes from 2009 to 2011 in which there was strong evidence that the driver had been using a cellphone, in a study paid for in part by Nationwide Mutual Insurance Company.
Of the 2011 crashes, only half were coded in the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's accident database as involving cellphone use, the study found. That was still better than previous years: Only 8 percent of the 2009 crashes examined were coded as involving cellphones, and 35 percent in 2010.
Even when drivers admitted to authorities that they were using a phone during an accident in which someone was killed, about half the cases weren't recorded that way in the database, the council said.
The safety administration's database shows more than 32,000 traffic deaths overall in 2011, the latest year for which complete data are available. But only 385 are listed as involving phones.
"We believe the number of crashes involving cellphone use is much greater than what is being reported," said Janet Foetscher, the safety council's president and CEO. "Many factors, from drivers not admitting cellphone use to a lack of consistency in crash reports being used to collect data at the scene, make it very challenging to determine an accurate number."
The safety administration's database is the bible of traffic crash statistics, but it depends on accident information gathered by states from police reports.
"Most people assume unknowingly that if it is federal data, it must be accurate," said John Ulczycki, the council's vice president.
The council's analysis found large variations among states in the reporting of phone-involved fatal crashes.
Tennessee, for example, reported far more fatal crashes involving cellphone use than any other state 93 in 2011 and 71 in 2010. California, the nation's most populous state, reported only 22 fatal crashing involving cellphones each of those years. New York, which has three times as many people as Tennessee, reported only one cellphone-involved fatal crash in 2011 and 10 in 2010.
One reason for the underreporting is that unless a driver, passenger or witness tells police a cellphone was being used, officers who respond to crash scenes may have no reason to investigate that possibility. Police are usually required to get a subpoena in order to obtain cellphone records.
"Can you imagine going through a subpoena process just to check a box on a form when you already have someone for running a red light and causing a fatality?" said David Teater, the council's senior director of transportation initiatives.
Even when such records are obtained, they must align with the precise moment of the crash a moment that isn't always known.
NHTSA has acknowledged weaknesses in its distracted driving data and says it's been working with states and police to strengthen reporting of accidents involving distracted driving. So far, 35 states have told the Governors Highway Safety Association, which represents state highway safety agencies, that they have adopted model accident reporting forms that include a box for officers to check whether cellphone use was involved.
Reluctance to admit the behavior, lack of witnesses, and in some cases the death of the driver all make it hard to collect full information, the agency says. "That's why we're working with states and law-enforcement agencies to add more precise categories to police reports," NHTSA Administrator David Strickland said in a statement.
Kelsey Raffaele's mother, Bonnie, began lobbying the Michigan state legislature for tougher restrictions on cellphone use by novice drivers a year after her daughter's death in January 2010. She said some legislators told her the problem wasn't that big, pointing to the federal data.
"Every time I testified I would tell them Kelsey's crash was not reported as cellphone use, and she's just one of thousands of other crashes that are not on the books ... as being cell-phone (related)," said Raffaele, of Sault Ste. Marie. "I would tell them, `The statistics are much higher than you think they are.' "
Raffaele eventually won the changes she sought.
State laws are a patchwork. Ten states and the District of Columbia require hands-free phones if a driver is going to make calls. No state bans all cellphone use for all drivers, but 36 states and D.C. ban all cellphone use by novice drivers. Currently, 39 states and D.C. ban text messaging for all drivers. An additional 6 states prohibit text messaging by novice drivers.
Most American teenagers are told not to text and drive, but the evidence is millions are not listening, CBS News correspondent Wyatt Andrews reported.
In an analysis of a 2011 survey done by the Centers for Disease Control, 46 percent of drivers at age 17 admitted they texted while driving, a number that rose to 52 percent for drivers over 18.
The survey alarmed the research team because of evidence that distracted driving - including texting - is now the leading single cause of teenage fatalities.
The National Transportation Safety Board, which investigates accidents, has urged states to ban all drivers from texting, emailing or chatting on a cellphone behind the wheel except in emergencies, saying the practices are simply too dangerous to be allowed.
It may not be possible to ever get complete reporting of cellphone involvement as long as reliance on driver admission is a factor, the safety council said.
Instead, the council is urging NHTSA to study whether it's feasible to develop a way to estimate cellphone-distracted crashes. The government already makes national estimates on drunken-driving accidents where data are lacking.

Storm-Proof Your Roof
Updated: May 22
When storm season approaches one of the key components to keeping you and your family warm and dry is your roof. Tropical storms and hurricanes are well known as "roof eaters," whether the storm is having a light snack and nibbles a few of your shingles, or if it is a ravenous beast and takes your entire roof.
Recent intense storms in the gulf region have opened many people's eyes to the perils of Mother Nature combined with poor or old building standards. Florida's building codes are some of the more rigorous in the country. These new codes are the refinement of years of improvements in building technologies, and are intended to make homes safer in areas of extreme weather.
The Florida Division of Emergency Management has put together a series of tutorials on how homeowners can make some simple repairs and improvements to their homes, which will increase their durability in severe storms. Some of these are simple and straightforward, others are much more involved and may require the help of contractors.
First Line of Defense
Many homes have asphalt shingles as their roof covering. These may be new architectural shingles with wind ratings up to 150 mph, or they may be older three tab with wind ratings of 50 to 60 mph.
In Hurricane Andrew, a study by the National Association of Home Builders Research Center showed that widespread damage to roofs seriously affected 77 percent of the homes surveyed. This damage of the roof covering led to severe water damage both during and after Hurricane Andrew. Damage surveys conducted following the hurricanes of 2004 and 2005 have also highlighted the frequency of roof cover damage. Of the homes that had enough damage to file an insurance claim, 95 percent had some level of roof covering damage. Studies have also highlighted the fact that damage to the roof covering during a hurricane can lead to substantial water damage in subsequent rainstorms. Both the initial water intrusion and the later leakage can lead to significant mold problems.
One way a shingle roof fails is by allowing the wind to lift the shingle and then allow it to get torn off. When shingles are installed, the manner in which they are fastened will provide various degrees of wind resistance. Shingles that are 6 nailed are far more robust than those that are 4 nailed. Staples were widely used years ago and are the least effective in keeping shingles in place. Another critical factor is layers of roofing. The high wind rating that many roofs have is dependent on it being the only layer of roofing. Shingles installed over old shingles have significantly lower wind ratings. As shingles age, they become more brittle, and often the adhesive that holds the leading edge down will fail.
The simple task of applying roof adhesive to loose shingles can greatly reduce the chances of your shingles getting ripped off under high wind conditions. A short term fix is the hand tabbing of shingles: The Florida Division of Emergency Management recommends that repairs be made 2 to 4 weeks ahead of the storm, as the roofing adhesive needs this time interval to properly cure and be effective. A homeowner can perform these repairs, or you may have a roofing contractor perform these tasks. You'll need a ladder, a putty knife and a caulkign gun. Apply the adhesive to the undersude of the shingle if the shingles are still somewhat flexible. Pressing the shingle down firmly with your foot is an easy way to ensure full contact with the adhesive.
If your roof is steep, or you are uncomfortable with heights, its better to get professionals for this job. This job is not that technical but it can be a big project. Many homes may have a few thousand square feet of roof and the inspection and repair could take some time. As shingles age they become more brittle and are more prone to damage, from the storm's wind, or by a well-intentioned owner trying to make repairs. If you find that your shingles break when attempting to seat the edges, it may be time for a new roof.
Coastal Concerns
Coastal areas are prone to higher winds than most inland areas. This is clearly demonstrated in the IRC's (International Residence Code) wind maps. Outlying areas may see winds of near 150 mph. The marine environment also adds some challenges to building. Rex Simpson, from Gallop Roofing and Remodeling in Elizabeth City, NC. says that they build to 130 mph wind ratings per the local codes. He also said, "We have special concerns because of our proximity to the ocean, we use aluminum and stainless steel flashing, along with hot dipped nails, regular nails and galvanized flashing just don't hold up."
"We do not recommend that homeowners perform work on their own roofs," said Simpson. "Safety is a big issue, and most homeowners do not have the experience. Gallop roofing has been serving the Outer Banks of North Carolina for over 50 years, and we have seen our share of storms. Its not just the shingles, the chimney and other trim needs to be inspected too. Loose flashing can lead to greater damage, to the roof, or even the siding," he warned.
Periodic inspections are your best methods to ensure that your roof will perform as intended. Inspections in the attic may allow you to spot trouble before it becomes a major problem. Look for discoloration or signs of water intrusion. Safety is a concern in attics as well. It is not uncommon to hear of damage to ceilings from a misplaced step, or of bumped heads in these confined spaces.
Failure with New Roofs
Where I live in Colorado, hurricanes are never an issue, but we still get extremely high winds. One common roofing failure in my climate with new asphalt shingle roofs has to do with the roof installation. The adhesive layer that binds one course to the next is "activated" by some exposure to warm sunny days. Roofs that are installed in early spring or fall may not see the temperatures needed to allow the adhesive to properly bind. I have seen neighbors' homes lose a great number of shingles due to this problem. Even the repairs were torn off a number of times before the condition was stabilized.
Other Roofing Materials and Problems
If you have a metal or tile roof you can also run into problems. Loose tiles are often dangerous projectiles when propelled by hurricane force winds. These can then cause more damage to your roof. Many homes have porches that have been added on over the years. By their nature, these are often not as robust as the rest of the home and can provide a toe hold for the storm's fury. Metal sheeting, metal tiles and other roof top items like vents, covers, and chimneys need to be maintained as well. Loose chimney and other flashing can allow water to penetrate the home and can cause mold, weaken drywall and cause it to fail as well.
Chip Ezzo of Chip's Roofing, in Berthoud, CO, spent the first 12 years of his 20 plus years in the roofing trade working in storm-prone areas of Florida. His basic advice to homeowners is to have their roofs inspected regularly. He also said "Both metal roofs and shingle roofs can withstand severe storms if they are properly installed and well maintained. Standing seam metal roofs hold up a bit better than Pro-Panels because the screws are protected. I have seen damage range from missing shingles and panels to the complete loss of plywood sheathing, it just depends on the storm and how well your roof is built. Here in Colorado, we build to high wind standards, just like many areas in Florida. One big difference to various levels of a roof's performance lie in the level of experience of the installer, and how roofs are inspected during construction. We had four required inspections during the builds in Florida, while here in Colorado a lot of areas only require one final inspection. Less skilled or reputable builders may cut corners that inspectors can't see. This can lead to problems down the road."
Catastrophic Failures
So far we have talked about roof coverings, but serious failures of roofs often have little to do with what is on top, but rather how all of it is put together. Modern codes in severe storm areas require the use of tie-downs and straps or brackets that hold the rafters to the walls and the walls to the foundations. These codes are much like seismic codes for earthquake prone areas. When storms are severe, hurricane force winds can reduce the pressure above a roof, lifting the roof. This is called the Bernoulli effect and has turned many homes into open-air structures. If your home is old, the rafters may be simply toe-nailed to the wall's top plates. This simple building method does not provide much resistance to uplift that keeps a roof on during severe conditions.
Most catastrophic failures in intense storms are due to some variation of losing the roof sheathing, with or without the rafters attached. The gable ends of homes are especially vulnerable. Once this layer is gone, water from wind driven rain can completely destroy the homes interior. Often the loss of the ceiling joists or trusses will cause a cascade failure of the walls as well. Another problem that occurs with the loss of the roofs sheathing is that it allows the wind to get a better grip on the home and can cause walls and other areas of roofing to "blow out." If you are re-roofing, it is a good ideal to add additional fasteners to the decking prior to installing the roof covering. Tie straps and additional structural elements can often be added in attic spaces as well. While these measures can improve the home's strength, and reduce potential storm damage, they may fall short of current local building codes.
While severe storms may be exciting to watch on the Weather Channel, living though them or rebuilding after one is a completely different matter. Proper maintenance, inspections, and adherence to current building codes and standards will increase the chance that your home is not damaged by a storm.

Chlorpheniramine is an antihistamine used to relieve symptoms of allergy, hay fever, and the common cold. These symptoms include rash, watery eyes, itchy eyes/nose/throat/skin, cough, runny nose, and sneezing.
This medication works by blocking a certain natural substance (histamine) that your body makes during an allergic reaction. By blocking another natural substance made by your body (acetylcholine), it helps dry up some body fluids to relieve symptoms such as watery eyes and runny nose.
Cough-and-cold products have not been shown to be safe or effective in children younger than 6 years. Do not use this product to treat cold symptoms in children younger than 6 years unless specifically directed by the doctor. Some products (such as long-acting tablets/capsules) are not recommended for use in children younger than 12 years. Ask your doctor or pharmacist for more details about using your product safely.
These products do not cure or shorten the length of the common cold and may cause serious side effects. To decrease the risk for serious side effects, carefully follow all dosage directions. Do not use this product to make a child sleepy. Do not give other cough-and-cold medication that might contain the same or similar ingredients (see also Drug Interactions section). Ask the doctor or pharmacist about other ways to relieve cough and cold symptoms (such as drinking enough fluids, using a humidifier or saline nose drops/spray).
If you are taking the over-the-counter product, read all directions on the product package before taking this medication. If you have any questions, consult your pharmacist. If your doctor has prescribed this medication, take it as directed.
Take the tablet, capsule, or liquid form by mouth with or without food. Follow the directions for dosing on the label, or take as directed by your doctor. This medication may be taken with food or milk if stomach upset occurs.
If you are taking the extended-release capsules, swallow them whole. Do not crush or chew extended-release capsules or tablets. Doing so can release all of the drug at once, increasing the risk of side effects.
If you are using the liquid form, use a medication measuring device to carefully measure the prescribed dose. Do not use a household spoon. If your liquid form is a suspension, shake the bottle well before each dose.
Your dosage is based on your age, medical condition, and response to therapy. Do not increase your dose or take this medication more often than recommended by your doctor or the package instructions without your doctor's approval. Take this medication regularly in order to get the most benefit from it. To help you remember, take it at the same time(s) each day.
If your condition lasts or gets worse, or if you think you may have a serious medical problem, get medical help right away.
Drowsiness, dizziness, constipation, stomach upset, blurred vision, or dry mouth/nose/throat may occur. If any of these effects last or get worse, tell your doctor or pharmacist promptly.
To relieve dry mouth, suck (sugarless) hard candy or ice chips, chew (sugarless) gum, drink water, or use a saliva substitute.
If you are using a sustained-release product, an empty tablet shell may appear in your stool. This is harmless.
If your doctor has prescribed this medication, remember that your doctor has judged that the benefit to you is greater than the risk of side effects. Many people using this medication do not have serious side effects.
Tell your doctor right away if you have any serious side effects, including:

French Door Blinds & French Door Window Treatments
- Consider door shape and position of handles
- Pick shallow treatments that hang close to the door
- 1" wood blinds and roller shades are ideal
- Hold down brackets are good for regularly shut shades
- Choose cordless for a sleek look and easy control
French doors have decorative handles that could interfere with the operation of door blinds or shades, so you'll want to choose a window treatment that is not very deep with an outside mount. If you plan on regularly raising and lowering your shade, go cordless to avoid getting cords tangled up on the door handle while also increasing child and pet safety. If you plan on leaving the shade down, you should select the hold down brackets when customizing your blind. These are installed on the door to keep the bottom of the shade in place.French Doors FAQ
There are many categories from which to choose when deciding on the right window covering for French doors. Cellular shades, roller shades, and thin traditional blinds are all popular choices that can be customized to perfectly match your decorating style and lifestyle. We recommend ordering free samples to see your favorites up-close-and-personal or start customizing online using our blind builder.
Almost any style of window covering will work to enhance the beauty of your French door. We recommend 1-inch wood blinds, cellular, solar or roller shades. When deciding which window covering would best, there are a few factors to consider. As always, our customer care team is available for you online or over the phone if you have any questions.
Ideally, you'll want something thin that hangs close to the glass on your door. A cordless lift is likely going to be ideal for a clean, clutter-free look. You should also make note of the position and size of your door handles, as those could obstruct your window covering. Also, consider including hold down brackets for shades that will remain shut regularly to help keep the shade in place.
All of our products at Blindsgalore are completely custom, down to the eighth of an inch, so the sizing will depend on your specific French door and the area you would like to cover. Make sure to account for the door handles and if there is any molding around the glass of your French door. If you have questions about measuring or which window treatment would work best in your space, don't hesitate to contact our customer care experts.

Many American business owners are are still unaware that flood damage is not covered by their commercial property insurance policy. Others are in denial about the serious flood risks to which they are exposed. When considering whether or not you should purchase a flood insurance policy, take this into consideration:
- Floods are the nation's #1 natural disaster.*
- Anyone can be financially vulnerable to floods. People outside of high-risk areas file over 20% of NFIP (National Flood Insurance Program) claims and receive one-third of disaster assistance for flooding.*
- In high-risk (SFHAs) areas, conservative estimates show that only one-third to one-half of residents have flood insurance. In these areas there is a 26% chance of flooding over a 30 year period, while there is about only a 10% chance for a fire.*
- For a number of flood disasters in the past few years, only 10 to 20% of the victims in SFHAs had flood insurance coverage. The remaining 80 to 90% had to rely on taxpayer-funded Federal disaster assistance, low-interest loans, tax write-offs or savings to help them recover.*
*Information from floodsmart.gov
Flood insurance will protect you in two ways:
- Building Coverage: Protects the insured property and its foundation, electrical system, plumbing, air, appliances, permanently attached carpet and other flooring and more.
- Contents Coverage: Covers the insured's clothing, furniture, electronics, window coverings, portable appliances, rugs and more.

WKRN 2 Nashville
cc: Allison Hatcher, Weekday Evening Anchor, WKRN 2 Nashville
Brittney Gilbert, Blogger, WKRN 2 Nashville
Dr. Harry R Jacobson, Vice-Chancellor for Health Affairs, Vanderbilt U.
Dear WKRN 2 News Team,
I really enjoy Brittney's new "Kick The Body Before It's Buried" feature on the WKRN 2's Nashville is Talking blog, and although my inner Frenchman stormed out of the room after reading the inaugural post about his friend, Steve Gilliard, I'm certain it brought a smile to his lips for a moment before he went back to grieving. I bet it did the same for Steve's family and the thousands of others who loved and respected him as well. I mean who wouldn't stop preparing for a funeral for a moment to enjoy such hilarious lines as these:
Which brings us to today's marquee morbidity. The tragic, untimely death of Donk House Negro and all around bigot Steve Gilliard. Who knew that boiling bacon grease in a spoon and mainlining it into the neck vein was bad for your health?
Now that's the kind of witty humor with which I'm sure WKRN 2 Nashville is proud to be associated. I bet your advertisers are thrilled as well. Who wouldn't want their brand associated with vicious personal attacks against the recently dead? I think I'll send the quote over to Vanderbilt Medical Center and CS Scott Construction Equipment to give them a chuckle.
Now I know your blogger, Brittney, isn't the author of those lines, but she deserves a lot of credit for republishing it without comment and thereby repackaging it as a WKRN 2 Nashville product. That young woman is certainly an asset to your organization. You should consider giving her a spot on the nightly news.
I'm thinking of something along the lines of a short in-studio segment where Brittany and WKRN 2 Nashville Weeknight Anchor Allison Hatcher attack someone from the local black community who passed away that day. I bet your writers would have a lot of fun finding new ways to denigrate black people and the circumstances of their death. You might even get State Sen. Stacey Campfield to join in. I'm sure he'd love it.
Let me know if I can help you in any way--I might be able to find you a good deal on white robes or pointed sticks you can use to poke the bodies. I'd be glad to hook you up.
Heterosexually yours (in a chaste and biblically appropriate kind of way, of course)
Gen. JC Christian, patriot
Update: Apparently, Brittney is just plain fucking stupid. I'm told she posted it to expose the original blogger's hatred. Hopefully, she'll post an apology just as prominently.

FCC Commissioner Meredith Attwell Baker is defending herself against charges that she has improperly benefited from her support of the massive Comcast/NBC buyout back in January. Attwell Baker last week announced plans to join Comcast as a top DC lobbyist for the company. Attwell BakerIn an editorial last week, the New York Times said that "Ms. Baker's swift shift from regulator to lobbyist for the regulated will only add to Americans' cynicism about their government. The fact that it is legal and that she is just one of many doesn't make it better.""Until late this spring, my plan was to seek renomination for a second term as Commissioner," Attwell Baker said in a statement on Friday. "That was true all through the winter during consideration of the Comcast/NBCUniversal transaction and in the months after it was completed."But when opportunity knocks, you have to open the door:Not once in my entire tenure as a Commissioner had anyone at Comcast or NBCUniversal approached me about potential employment. When this opportunity became available in mid-April, I made a personal decision that I wanted to give it serious consideration.Therefore, I immediately sought counsel from the General Counsel of the FCC, and recused myself on April 18th from any matters involving Comcast or NBCUniversal. I have not only complied with the legal and ethical laws, but I also have gone further. I have not participated or voted any item, not just those related to Comcast or NBCUniversal, since entering discussions about an offer of potential employment. Because of this, I plan to depart the Commission as soon as I am able to ensure an orderly wind-down of my office. I will of course comply with all government ethics and Obama pledge restrictions going forward.Attwell Baker is one of two Republican commissioners at the FCC, so her departure should produce a new Republican nominee in the next couple of months that will maintain the 3-2 slant of the Commission. Democrat Michael Copps is also expected to end his run at the FCC later this year. Given his near legendary status as the Grumpy Old Man of the FCC, it's hard to imagine Copps cashing in big on his FCC service, but we're curious to see where Commissioners like McDowell, Clyburn, and Genachowski land once their tenure is up.

Pink Ice Ice Icing - It's Good Friday
This quick and simple lemon icing recipe is what I frosted my Easter bread with, and it works nicely as an all-purpose glaze for all types of cookies, breads, and pastries.
You remember that comedian, the one with the big porn-stache, that did the, "you might be a redneck if" routine?
By the way, if you were at one of his shows, you were a redneck. This recipe reminds me of that bit. You could come up with a whole list of "you might be a bad cook if…" statements, but one of them for sure would be, "you might be a bad cook if you buy icing."
There can't be an easier recipe than a simple sugar icing. Can you stir? Good, then you have what it takes. I'm assuming if you do buy your icing, it's because you simply don't know the recipe, or just assumed (like everyone at a Jeff Foxworthy show is a redneck) it was too complicated. It's not. Enjoy!
1 cup powdered sugar
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
2 tsp grated lemon zest, optional
1 tbsp milk
1 small drop food coloring, optional

Mmm Pepto-goodness.
I never understood why people bought icing, when it is only 3 common ingredients (Depending on the icing I suppose).

Hi Chef, Thanks for the recipe!
BTW heard SF was hit by comm. outage. Did it get you too?

i dont think so
- April 10, 2009 at 2:38 PM

Loved the background tune you chose, but wished you'd showed us (in slow motion, ala David Letterman)) how the sprinkles get rejected by hardened icing and bounce off.
- April 10, 2009 at 2:45 PM
- Chef John said...
:-) next time
- April 10, 2009 at 2:54 PM
To answer the question about why people buy icing: I believe that people buy cake mixes and canned icing because they grew up thinking that the chemicals they were tasting was a normal thing and they can't reproduce that flavor at home.
- April 10, 2009 at 4:44 PM
- Steffen P said...
Scientific correction - The water in the lemonjuice and milk, does NOT melt the sugar. It dissolves it. Big difference. :)
Other than that i just still love your recipies..
- April 10, 2009 at 5:10 PM
- Chef John said...
I'll have to defend my choice of words... one of the meanings of "melt" is "to become liquid" so in that sense the sugar does melt.
The wicked witch of the west didn't say, "I'm dissolving, I'm dissolving!"
- April 10, 2009 at 6:36 PM
Hey Skuffen,
Since you're into correcting folks, Maybe you should check your spelling of the word recipes! :)
- April 10, 2009 at 6:52 PM
Hey now, everyone, be nice! Spelling errors are usually typos - and semantics is what makes our beautiful language so wonderful.
- April 10, 2009 at 9:37 PM

lol, love this.
There's also something quite odd/funny about seeing pink and tasting lemon :P

Just one question, how can I make chocolate icing ?
- April 11, 2009 at 4:08 PM
- Chef John said...
here is a link to some simple ones. http://www.buzzle.com/articles/chocolate-icing-recipes.html

- Luatica said...
Can't resist it.
Ice, ice, baby!
- April 11, 2009 at 6:17 PM
- Steffen P said...
I will quickly defend my spelling. Im from Denmark.
And Chef John, melting does means becoming liquid - and that is not what the augar does. Sugar gets liquad at its melting point. When a crystalic molecule like saccharose (biggest part of household sugar) dissolves, it breaks down into ions. Lige kitchen salt, SodiumChloride (NaCl), which breaks down into Na+ and Cl- ions when dissolved in water.
This is not a critic, just a point-out from a fan.
- April 11, 2009 at 7:24 PM
Hey, Chef,
Where can I buy all of your utensils, pots, silicone baking mats, etc that you use in your videos? I'd go to IKEA to pick some out for myself, but I trust your judgment more than mine!
- April 11, 2009 at 8:02 PM
- Chef John said...
i hope your kidding
- April 11, 2009 at 8:03 PM
- Chef John said...
the kidding comment was for the scientist. some the utensils are in the amazon store in my sidebar. Ikea's stuff is fine. I don't have time to do a complete list, but one of these days.

Hi chef, my name is alex. my wife loves sweets, but she is allergic to corn syrup,corn starch,and corn flour. is their a way i could subsitude the powder sugar in our pink icing recipe. thanks for your time.
- June 29, 2009 at 9:42 PM

Im confused... the recipe uses powdered sugar, there is no corn syrup,corn starch,and corn flour.
- June 29, 2009 at 10:25 PM
powder sugar is made with corn starch.alex
- June 29, 2009 at 10:31 PM
your video is not working on my computer :( could you tell me simply what to do with the ingredients? Perhaps mix and heat?
- December 10, 2011 at 2:46 PM
- Chef John said...
no cooking, just stir together, that's it!
- December 10, 2011 at 3:06 PM
- Martin Mental said...
Dear Alex,
I might have a solution for your problem: just throw small portions of regular granulated sugar in your blender and blend them till powdery!
With kind regards,
- April 7, 2012 at 6:51 PM
Dear Chef John,
This seems an amazing recipe. so theres basically no need to use icing sugar ? powdered sugar alone will do the trick? Fab!
Thanks for a great recipe!
