How to Play Zombie Tag with Glow Sticks
A fun variation of zombie tag can be played with glow sticks. Read this article to learn how to play.
1Buy red and green glow sticks (preferably the ones that can go on your wrist), making sure there is enough for everyone. For instance, if you're playing with 20 people, you'll need 20 red and 20 green glow sticks. Because you can never be sure how many people are playing, you should try to plan the game for an event like a party.
- Red glow sticks mean that person is an infected zombie. Green glow sticks mean that person is a healthy human.
2Pick one person to be the zombie and give that person all of the red glow sticks. Everyone else puts a green glow stick on their wrist.
3Tell the zombie to count to 50 with his/her eyes closed.
4Have all of the humans run and hide.
5After the zombie counts to 50, he/she will go and hunt for human flesh.
6Once a human is caught, the zombie gives half of their red glow sticks to the human. That human now becomes a zombie. The zombies keeps giving half of their red glow sticks to each human they catch. This cycle goes on until every human is infected (holding a red glow stick).

- This game is mainly played outside at night, but can also be played inside in a dark room.
- Travel in a pack if you're faster than everyone else so you can use them as a distraction.
- Always look at the persons wrist to see if they are infected or not.
- Tips to discourage cheating:
- Make sure the glow sticks are clearly visible on their wrist.
- Set boundaries (if playing outside, no one can go inside and vice versa) and punish players that cross them (give them a red glow stick).
- Watch your step so you don't bump or trip on anything.

Do you know about group B Strep?
Expecting a baby can be one of the best times of your life. It's a time when it's important to know about group B Streptococcus (group B Strep/GBS) as it is the most common cause of severe infection in newborn babies.
What is GBS?
GBS is a common bacterium which is present in the intestines of up to one in every three adults and in the vagina of approximately one in every four women. Carrying it has no symptoms and whilst GBS does not cause infections in healthy people, it can affect new born babies. Carrying GBS around the time of giving birth is recognised as an important risk factor for severe infection in newborn babies, yet women in the UK are rarely told about it by their health professionals and even more rarely offered testing.
Many babies are exposed to GBS without any ill effects but some are susceptible to the bacteria and develop infection. When GBS gets into the bloodstream or lungs of a newborn baby, it can cause infections such as sepsis and pneumonia. Most GBS infections in babies develop within the first few hours of life (called early onset GBS infection) and, less commonly, it can develop up to the age of three months (late onset GBS infection). Late onset GBS infections are more likely to include meningitis, with many of the survivors suffering life-long disabilities.
Most GBS infection in newborn babies can be prevented by identifying which babies are at higher risk and giving the mums-to-be intravenous antibiotics during labour.
How do women know if they have GBS?
GBS colonises the intestines of around a third of humans with no symptoms at all; it is a normal body commensal (usually harmless bacteria or other organisms that normally live in or on the body. GBS normally cause no harm or symptoms to the carrier and therefore colonisation may be intermittent. In women, the bacteria often colonises the vagina.
The method used for GBS detection is critical for obtaining accurate results for GBS carriage. When done properly, antenatal GBS screening can give a very good indication as to the carriage status of the mother at delivery.
Testing for GBS is not routinely offered in the UK and many NHS hospitals don't have access to the sensitive 'gold standard' ECM (Enriched Culture Medium) tests for GBS carriage. ECM tests are available from a number of NHS Trusts, plus privately at clinics and through home-testing packs which cost around £35 each. For availability, see www.gbss.org.uk/test.
To predict with greater accuracy the chances of carrying GBS at delivery, the best time to test is at between 35 and 37 weeks of pregnancy using a vaginal and rectal swab. Testing later than 37 weeks increases the chance that the baby will be born before the result is available.
Many more GBS infections in newborn babies could be prevented by offering all pregnant women the sensitive 'gold standard' ECM test and offering intravenous antibiotics to those carrying GBS to prevent the infection occurring in the newborn baby.
What else should I know?
A baby is more likely to develop GBS infection when:
- Mum has previously had a baby who had GBS infection
- GBS is found in Mum's urine or on a swab this pregnancy
- Mum has a high temperature in labour
- Labour starts or waters break before 37 completed weeks of pregnancy
- Waters break more than 18 hours before the baby is born
If GBS is found in the urine during pregnancy, Mum will be given oral antibiotics to clear the infection. She will also be offered intravenous antibiotics in labour against GBS infection developing in her baby. The use of antibiotics at this stage reduces the risk of GBS infection in the newborns from around a one in 300 risk to less than one in 6,000.
If GBS has only been found from a vaginal or rectal swab, antibiotics aren't given as they're not beneficial during pregnancy until labour starts, when they should be offered.
What does charity Group B Strep Support want to see?
Group B Strep Support (www.gbss.org.uk), founded in 1996, is the UK's only charity focussed on GBS infection in newborn babies – promoting greater awareness and improving prevention of these usually avoidable but potentially life-threatening infections. The Charity campaigns for pregnant women to be fully informed about GBS during routine antenatal care and for GBS-specific testing to be freely available.
Group B Strep Support wants:
- Every pregnant woman to be given information on GBS as a routine part of antenatal care.
- Every pregnant woman whose baby is at low-risk of developing GBS infection to be offered an ECM test for GBS carriage at 35-7 weeks of pregnancy (and where these are not available from the hospital, the women should be told how to access them privately)
- Every pregnant woman whose baby is at higher risk of developing GBS infection (where one or more of the risk factors listed above are present) to be offered intravenous antibiotics from the start of labour until birth and, where the babies are at highest risk, for these antibiotics to be recommended.
Jane Plumb MBE, Group B Strep Support's Chief Executive, says, "We believe this is the best approach for preventing GBS infection in newborn babies in the UK. It is so important that pregnant women are informed about GBS and consider testing."
Group B Strep Support campaigns for greater awareness and better prevention of GBS infection in newborn babies, including offering the simple and safe 'Gold Standard' ECM test to every pregnant mum.
Jane Plumb MBE adds, "Sadly, we continue to hear from and offer information and support to families who have suffered as a result of GBS. As one mother put it, "I can't explain the pain; it's not something that I could ever imagine feeling ever again. I don't know anything that compares."
Sarah Jane Chapman has created a petition, ending on 31 December 2013, asking The Department of Health to ensure women are routinely offered testing for group B Strep in every pregnancy. Please read it at http://epetitions.direct.gov.uk/petitions/43712 and consider signing it, and sharing it with your friends and family.
July is GBS Awareness Month – A Simple Test to Save a Life – and Group B Strep Support will be urging pregnant women to get informed about GBS and consider testing.

Damage fee!
A company "Stone age" in Texas DFW area, remodeled our bathroom, but after using it we noticed water leakage, they broke the floor to find the problem, didn't find the problem and left it open. The expenses to buy (the material they destroyed +labor to fix the problem )is$1700+400) ! I need to know what is the advice to force this company to pay for what they have caused us! they simply don't do anything and say: you should solve it with the subcontractor who did the job! We have contract with this company not the subcontractor! They say based on their tests the water leakage is not their fault, but the shower didn't have any problem before!this problem appeared after remodeling and it took about 1 month after payment that we used & noticed & informed them about this issue! I just need to know what options I have to force them to pay me a damage fee! I paid them $3700 for labor & bought the materials myself that now they have ruined a part of it (Floor and a part of other tiles).
a plumber and 3 other experts who done the similar job successfully before, visited my shower and said this problem is just because this company didn't do their job professionally.
Appreciate any advise you could offer.

Sounds like you need to file small claims action for the amount. It sounds like they believe it is not their fault and you believe it is theirs and if it is worth the time you can file a small claims action.
Small claims is fairly basic and you do not need an attorney present, but you could have one write the paperwork for you cheaply. Here is a brief article explaining small claims. http://www.legalmatch.com/law-librar...ms-courts.html

Subcontractor Liability
If a subcontractor, hired by the general contractor, performs inadequate or defective work, a general contractor may face claims by the owner or others, seeking to hold the general contractor liable for costs associated with the subcontractors allegedly deficient work. Many licensed contractors have insurance coverage that covers faulty work done by either them or the subcontractor that they hired. Since subcontractors would be considered the agent of the contractor, a contractor would sometimes be liable for the work.
Also look at the contract you have between the General Contractor. There will be an indemnification clause which sets forth the GC's responsibilities and potential liabilities as to its sub-contractors liability. Also notify the contractor and the subcontractor, both by phone and letter, of the damage.
If the GC refuses to pay for the damage, you may bring a claim in small claims court.
**I am not an attorney and this is not legal advice. Contact a experienced attorney before doing any legal action**

Thomson Prometric, the Baltimore-based educational testing company that was once part of the former Sylvan Learning Systems, has been sold again - this time to Educational Testing Service, administrator of the SAT, for $435 million.
ETS is Prometric's largest customer, a partnership that began nearly 20 years ago, ETS officials said yesterday. Prometric delivers the TOEFL, GRE and Praxis teaching licensing exams for the Princeton, N.J.-based educational assessment and research company.
Once the sale is completed, expected in the third quarter pending regulatory approval, Prometric will become a for-profit subsidiary of nonprofit ETS. Prometric's operations and management will remain in Baltimore, ETS chief executive Kurt Landgraf said yesterday. Prometric had $317 million in revenue last year, according to ETS.

Raindrop Technique
On July 19, 20, and 21, 2008, I went to Hendersonville, Tennessee to take an intensive seminar consisting of 25 hours to become trained for the Raindrop Technique. This involves the use of therapeutic grade essential oils for help with a lot of health problems we are faced with right now in our own lives. But you can't just use any old essential oils because they won't work. I use only Young Living Essential Oils because they are the best oils produced on this planet! They are God's gift of healing to us.
The purpose of the Raindrop Technique is to stimulate every organ, muscle and bone of the body at a cellular level through the oils, boosting the immune system, bringing the body into structural/electrical balance, and enabling the release of toxins or disease wherever they may be lodged--including those illnesses lodged in the mind and emotions. Raindrop Technique is a non-secular art and science. Cost of the session that lasts about one hour is $75.00.
Raindrop Technique is most effectively performed in silence. No music and no talking. This allows the facilitator (the person giving the treatment) to concentrate and serve as a better channel while allowing the client to interiorize their mind and assist in the healing process. If talking is necessary (for instructional purposes, for example), it should be done quietly or in a whisper. Both facilitator and client should engage in Raindrop with an attitude of prayer, acknowledging our Creator as the source of all health and well-being and seeking His guidance at all times.
The client is the principle participant in and the means of their own healing. The facilitator is but a channel assisting the client to mobilize their own healing powers. The client should interiorize or center themselves and feel the body as it adjusts and corrects itself. The client should breathe deeply and in a relaxed fashion.
The maladies of the body and mind are in layers. During any given Raindrop session only those layers the client is ready and willing to release will be released--both physical and emotional. Negative experiences are often our greatest teachers. That is the reason we sometimes hold on to them--because we still have something to learn from them. When the client feels something is ready to be released they can say this affirmation: "I lovingly and willingly release that which no longer serves me in a positive and progressive way."
Raindrop Technique is a complete modality, in and of itself, that reaches to all levels of the body, mind and emotions. In general, its results are not improved when additional modalities are added or inserted during a Raindrop session. The objective of Raindrop is to awaken the receiver's internal healing powers and any external manipulation at the time of the Raindrop session interferes with that objective. Raindrop Technique alone is sufficient to awaken the self-healing powers of the client and does so in a way that delivers optimal benefit according to the readiness and willingness of the client at the time of treatment. At the completion of a Raindrop Technique session the client will have been lifted to a delicate state of balance and receptivity to healing energies. Employing additional modalities at that time can upset that balance and reduce the healing potential. While acupuncture, allopathy, chiropractic, reflexology and other therapeutic modalities can be enhanced when employed with essential oils, Raindrop Technique is generally best when done by itself. If needed or desired, other healing modalities can be employed later when the Raindrop Technique has had time to complete its work.
RT stimulates detoxification of the body. Therefore, it is crucial for the client to drink plenty of water following a therapy session and avoid toxic fluids such as soda pop, coffee, or alcohol. A good rule to follow is to divide your weight in pounds by two and drink that number of ounces of pure water everyday. Sometimes the detoxification process results in bodily soreness, headache, sinus drainage, coughing or a rash on the skin. While unpleasant, these symptoms are temporary and are merely an indication that the technique is working and perhaps, saving you from a much more serious illness at a later time. If the colon, liver and kidneys are saturated with toxins and unable to function normally, the skin becomes the third organ of excretion--thus a rash. If that happens, stop using the oils for a while and double your water intake. For the vast majority of Raindrop clients their experience is a sense of improved wellbeing, relaxation, and energization and, in some cases, chronic ailments have fallen away immediately or have disappeared soon after the session.
RT can lead to permanent healing, but......The correction or healing of maladies will vary widely among clients according to their needs going into the session and their willingness to release what ails them at that time. Not all problems can be solved in a single session. A state of ill health is usually the result of many years of accumulation of toxins and traumas--physical, mental and spiritual. Each RT session can potentially correct something, but to completely return to a state of perfect health may take a series of sessions over time--plus lifestyle changes in terms of diet, exercise, habits and environment. RT cannot lead to permanent healing unless permanent changes are made by the client to eliminate the factors that led to the ill conditions in the first place. What RT does is to help cleanse one of the consequences of past negative activities and affords one the opportunity to start afresh and get it right in the present and into the future.
Strong emotional releases can occur with RT since the oils, when inhaled, go directly to the central brain which coordinates the memory of stored emotions. The oils also go directly to the muscles, tissues and organs throughout the body where emotions can also be stored in cellular memory. Essential oils can penetrate cellular membranes and release these forgotten emotions. In rare instances, receivers may have a strong emotional response. Accept what you are witnessing as a necessary and beneficial healing process for that client. In such instances, the RT session has provided what the client perceives as a safe environment to allow such expressions to manifest and work themselves out. The facilitator should keep silent and maintain physical contact. Allow them to work it out.
The benefits of RT may not all be apparent immediately following the session. Adjustments can continue throughout the week following. Some clients experience a healing (occasionally dramatic) immediately upon receiving RT. However, the completion of the benefits to the client's mind, body, and emotions takes place over a period of hours and days following the session and may not all be evident right away. Furthermore, some of the benefits may be subtle and not noticed for a while. What problems the client may have hoped would be corrected may not as yet be healed, thus waiting to be released in a future RT session. Meanwhile, unexpected healings may occur for chronic problems the client had not even thought of. One can never predict in advance what benefits RT may bring in a given session. Therefore, evaluation of the benefits received from RT may take several days to assess.
A word about skin sensitivities. Therapeutic grade essential oils (such as those from Young Living) are generally safe to apply neat (not diluted) to the skin without unpleasant reactions. However, people prone to allergies or whose bodies are in acid condition or who have high levels of toxins may react to some oils and can develop a rash from too rapid a detox following RT. For such individuals, use half the recommended number of drops of oil and apply V6 and/or Valor to the back before applying any essential oil. For very sensitive people, try RT with just Ortho Ease and only one or two oils.
D. Gary Young developed the Raindrop Technique (RT) based on (1)his research with essential oils as antimicrobial agents, (2) his knowledge of the Vita Flex technique and its reflex points in the feet, and (3) fascinating information on effleurage (finger stroking) and its effect on the muscles and the nervous system, he learned from the Lakota people in South Dakota.
While visiting with the Lakota people, Gary learned that for several generations, before the US/Canadian border was established, the Lakota Indians migrated across the Canadian border into the northern regions of Saskatchewan and Manitoba. There, they often witnessed the Northern Lights, or Aurora Borealis. Those who were ill or had complicated health problems would stand facing the Aurora Borealis, hold their hands toward the lights, and inhale deeply. The Lakota believed that when the Aurora Borealis was visible, the air was charged with healing energy, allowing it to pass through their spine and on to other afflicted areas of the body through neurological pathways. Many experienced dramatic healing effects through this practice.
Eventually, after the border made migrations impossible, the Lakota began to use effleurage, or feathered finger stroking, which became associated with this healing technique. Additionally, the Lakotas continued their practice of mentally processing energy, coupled with effleurage, to distribute healing energy throughout the body.
Gary Yound found that when this Lakota practice of effleurage was coupled with the energy created by essential oils and Vita Flex, its effects were greatly heightened. Since it formal adoption in 1989, RT has received an enormous amount of praise from users all over the world for its help with relaxation, emotional release, tissue cleansing and help with spinal misalignments.
In 2001, Dr. David Stewart, PhD, circulated a questionaire to cover 2000 health practioners, massage therapists, aromatherapists and their clients, to gain insight on the results that were accruing from RT. He received 422 responses summarizing the experiences of some 14,000 RT sessions. His findings are summarized in his booklet, A Statistical Validation Of Raindrop Technique (which I have a copy of in my office if you would like to read it). Overall, the 416 respondents who had received RT rated it positive (97%), pleasant (98%), resulted in improved health (89%), and resulted in an improved emotional state (86%). 99.9% of receivers said they would choose to receive RT again.
Another foundation principle behind RT is the idea--now being explored and verified in a number of scientific studies--that some types of spinal misalignment are caused by viruses or bacteria that lie dormant along the spine. These pathogens create inflammation, which, in turn, contorts and disfugures the spinal column.
RT is a powerful, non-invasive technique utilizing the antiviral, antibacterial and anti-inflammatory action of several key essential oils to assist the body in maintaining normal spinal curvature. During the past 18 years it has helped alleviate or resolve many cases of scoliosis, kyphosis, and chronic back pain and has eliminated the need for back surgery for hundreds of people.
Gary Young incorporated into RT nine of the most potent therapeutic-grade essential oils. All of these oils have been heavily researched. They were selected to synergistically combine to sumultaneously kill viral and bacterial pathogens, reduce inflammation, support the immume system, ease respiratory discomfort, relax stressed muscles, curb digestive upset and relieve body and joint discomfort, as well as balance energy, lift the spirit, restore calm and increase the ability to concentrate.
The seven single essential oils used include:
*oregano (origanum compactum)
*thyme (thymus vulgaris)
*basil (ocimum basilicum)
*cypress (cupressus sempervirens)
*wintergreen (gaultheris procumbens)
*marjoram (origanum majorama)
*peppermint (mentha peperita)
In addition, two essential oil blends, Valor and Aroma Seiz are incorporated into RT to further facilitate energy balancing (Valor) and muscle relaxation (Aroma Seiz).
These oils are dispensed like drops of rain from a height of about six inches above the back and feathered and massaged along the vertebrae and back muscles. Although the entire technique takes from 45-60 minutes to complete, the oils continue to work in the body for up to one week following RT, often with continued re-alignment taking place during this time.
CAUTION: RT is not a cure-all or a magic bullet. A healthy balanced body is the result of a well-rounded program of exercise and proper diet. Health is everything we do, say, hear, see, and eat. RT is only one tool to help restore balance in the body. Healthy eating habits and a positive, open mind will also help prepare the body and skin to accept the oils better and more rapidly.

Similar to 2011, we did our best to listen to our racers, and make changes to the schedule to see more drivers racing with us. Additionally, California V8 Ponycar racing goes back to Wlliow Springs after a 4 year hiatus!
For 2012, we will still have a total of 8 events, evenly split between NorCal and SoCal. Like 2011, we will have two "Cross-Over" events - the May 26/27 Willow Springs event, and the November 10/11 Infineon event. The May WSIR event will count towards the NorCal championship, and the November SPIR event will count towards the SoCal championship.
As before, the committed racer has the availability to win 2 championships in a single year, 3 championships if you include the Nationals. Standard 20% drop rules will apply to each of the championships:
NorCal - 3 drops (based on a 5 event, 15 race schedule)
SoCal - 3 drops (based on a 5 event, 15 race schedule)
This still provides for the racer who prefers to race close to home, but has the ability to travel for one event. It also gives ample time between events, in addition to a 2 month break for those who wish to attend the 2012 NASA Nationals at Mid-Ohio.
Below is our 2012 AI/CMC/FFR schedule. We don't expect it to change, but the possibility exists. If the schedule changes, we'll keep you all posted.
2012 West Coast AI/CMC/FFR schedule:
Feb 11/12 - SPIR
Mar 10/11 - SPIR
Apr 21/22 - BW
May 26/27 - WSIR (X-over to NorCal)
June 23/24 - BW
Aug 18/19 - THill
Oct 13/14 - BW
Nov 10/11 - SPIR (X-over SoCal)
Feel free to forward this on to anyone interested.
We look forward to continued growth in all of our V8 Ponycar series!

That was the weekend that was…
1. Robbie Keane will feel like the biggest mug after his supposedly superior Spurs squad got turned over with ease by the Gunners. Old twitchy eyes may have seen the result coming, as he went in to the game without arguably his best two players in Luka Modric and Jermaine Defoe. Nevertheless, Arsenal have their own injury concerns but showed the gulf in class. Early on it seemed that Spurs were getting all the luck, as David Bentley unbelievably managed to avoid even a booking for a rash and dangerous challenge on Vermaelen. They even managed to hold their own in midfield against Arsenal's fluid 4-3-3. However, Arsenal were knocking on the proverbial door and only a super save from Gomes, aka rubber arms, kept it 0-0. Song made an awesome challenge at the other end to deny the bullshitter himself, Robbie Keane.
The game was effectively over the space of two minutes (42nd and 43rd) as Van Persie profited from some lazy defending to volley Arsenal into the lead. Then straight from kick off Spurs inexplicably gave away the ball and Cesc Fabregas went on a great run which ended in a sublime finish past Gomes. A comical third was put away by van Persie, as Arsenal profited from confusion over a foul on Diaby and a blunder by Gomes.
Such was Arsenal's dominance that Eduardo even managed to waste two chances you would normally put money on him taking. It was a good overall team performance from Wenger's men, with the two centre halves looking comfortable, penetration from the full backs and clinical finishing. the only disappointment was Arshavin's limp display.
2. Liverpool failed to follow-up their redemptive display against United. Fulham outplayed them and exposed Liverpool's growing defensive weakness. everyone is focused, perhaps rightly so, on the injuries suffered by Gerrard and Torres. However, it is their fragility at the back which should be their main concern. Carragher was finally punished with the red he should have got against United and all-in-all, Benitez has simply failed to maintain an organised defence. Where he has allowed the likes of Johnson, Insua and Degen to provide an attacking threat, the lack of shape has been exposed. Bobby 'I love to miss sitters' Zamora even managed to profit, which has made me think. What is worse, conceding a goal to a beach ball or to Bobby Zamora? I think it has to be the latter.
3. Top class Chelsea destroyed Bolton. OK, the Blues' Carling Cup team had already disposed them in mid-week and it was 0-0 on Saturday until JLloyd Samuel deservedly got sent off. But Chelsea showed some classy football, with Drogba, Anelka, Lampard and Deco clicking in a way that reminded me of Arsenal when they had the Vieira, Pires, Henry and Bergkamp combo. The pick of the bunch was the fourth, well taken goal by Drogba. Phenomenal build up. Deco's was quite special as well. If Ancelotti can sort out the Blues' defensive frailties away from home, they should power their way to the title.
4. Have Pompey finally turned round their season? Well, a convincing 4-0 victory against an in-form Wigan side was a good place to start. It is obvious that Pompey will ship a lot of goals but the ability to score them, especially at home, will ultimately keep you up. In Aruna Dindane and Piquionne, Paul Hart has genuine pace and quality in front of goal. Question remains whether they are consistent enough.
5. Man City drew for the third game in succession at Birmingham. Both sides had decent chances but it was Shay Given's penalty save from James McFadden that ensured City got a point. Whilst it is impressive that Mark Hughes has only suffered that sole defeat at Old Trafford, it is the draws that can cost you (ask Wenger about his team two seasons ago). Lucky that he has a banker at home against Burnley next Saturday.
6. Little Gorgon-Zola mustn't have been able to believe his luck, as his lads raced into an impressive 2-0 lead at the Stadium of Light through Franco and Carlton Cole. Although fatty Reid pulled one back with a top-notch free kick, it still looked good for the Hammers as Kenwyne Jones was sent off for pushing over Herita Illunga. In a complete reversal of their heroics against Arsenal, West Ham surrendered two points when Darren Bent set up Kieran Richardson for the equaliser. All in all a point at Sunderland is a good result considering the form of Bruce's team. However, Zola's nice guy managerial style simply doesn't seem to achieve the right results.
You may be wondering why Manchester United weren't covered in this week's Six Pointer. Well it was such a routine Old Trafford win that it wasn't worth mentioning other than Berbatov had one of his best games yet for United.
Until next week!

Two New Drugs Added to Heart Failure Clinical Practice Guideline
Two New Drugs Added to Heart Failure Clinical Practice Guideline
MONDAY, May 23, 2016 (HealthDay News) -- An updated clinical guideline adds two new types of drugs to the list of treatment options for heart failure. The updated guideline was published online May 20 in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology, Circulation, and the Journal of Cardiac Failure.
The two new treatments in the updated guideline are an angiotensin receptor-neprilysin inhibitor (valsartan/sacubitril), sold as Entresto, and a sinoatrial node modulator (ivabradine), sold as Corlanor, according to the American College of Cardiology, the American Heart Association, and the Heart Failure Society of America.
Previously recommended drugs for these patients include angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors, angiotensin II receptor blockers, beta blockers, and diuretics.
"Treatment options for patients with heart failure have expanded considerably. There is more hope than ever before for patients with heart failure," guideline update committee vice chair Mariell Jessup, M.D., of the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine in Philadelphia, said in a news release from the heart groups. "These guideline recommendations will serve as a tool to guide the choice of therapy and, in turn, improve outcomes."
Several authors disclosed financial ties to the pharmaceutical industry.

text: I just set up a site last night and checked this morning to see $83 in C0peac, plus a few dollars from G00gle. Took me 20 minutes to set up my blog and I saw over 150 visitors last night. Things were clicking like I've never seen before and my conversion rates were through the roof. I got sales and leads. Let's get started so you can cash in... First of all: I was reading some old posts on the forum and found a few tips. I tried the method, and it sucked. So, I decided to fix it and make a new thread. So don't reply saying "I saw something like this a while ago"... who cares. This is different. As I do in all my posts, I will post tools needed at the bottom, so don't ask for download links. I'll also post my examples. Step 1: Pick a niche at your affiliate network I'm using C0peac because they have tons of offers for many niches. But Clickb00th and Affilit33r and others may also work. Step 2: Set up a blog at Blogger You don't have to set it up here, but it's free. Wordpress is unnecessary for this and will just waste your time. Give your blog a title like "E-Guide to Real Estate" or whatever your niche is. Step 3: Make it look nice! This isn't mandatory, but people will trust your site more if it looks like you spent some time on it. Step 4: Download Unique Content Maker Download the software and gather some articles from Ezine or whatever. One at a time, translate them and post them to your blog. I recommend doing 5 articles each day. Step 5: Integrate Ads Get your ads from your affiliate network and put them into the blank spaces on your site. Go crazy, but not retarded. Don't forget to ad Ads3ns3 for some other revenue options Step 6: Continue to post each day about 5 articles. You'll get natural traffic. Don't worry if the articles have some fluency problems, it really won't matter in the long run. Tools Needed: Unique Content Maker- Examples- Tips- I saw results within 24 hours. I used a niche that is not very competitive so I got lots of traffic, but articles were sort of hard to find. Good luck! Hit the thanks button if you like!

|Was Roscoe excited about his last day of work at McDonalds...
Everyone but Roscoe, I fear. Sometimes I think Roscoe is a little lonely up on that pedestal we've made for him
Mark and I mostly let Roscoe do his own thing. We support whatever decisions he makes. We say yes to almost everything he asks for. When he comes to us for advice, we tell him we're sure he'll make the right choice. The irony is that if I were to have one beef about my nearly perfect upbringing, this would be it. I look back on my teenage years and see that the veneer of competence and assurance I gave off was largely a farce and that I could have benefited from a little more guidance, advice, and hand-holding from my wise parents. (Even today, in fact!)
|Bets escaped from bed last night and pattered downstairs to do some YouTube watching with Roscoe. See how they're sharing earbuds? So sweet! Betsy is smart enough to know that quiet and cuddly girls are allowed to stay up late, just for fun.

About Us
In 1993 fraud investigators from within London Local Authorities decided to form their own cross London group called the London Boroughs Fraud Investigators Group (LBFIG). All 33 London Boroughs have active anti-fraud teams and all are represented at LBFIG. Other public sector bodies such as housing associations can also affiliate provided they are not-for-profit.
The purpose of LBFIG is to disseminate best practice, discuss cross boundary fraud and generally represent the interests of local authority fraud investigators in London. Selling, or self-promotion, via our website is not permitted.
Membership of LBFIG is via a subscription from each local authority or affiliate member. This gives individual membership to any officer of that Local Authority who is engaged in the investigation of fraud.
There are in excess of 400 officers in London Authorities dedicated to reducing losses to the public purse. These officers cover many different areas of Local Authority work including benefits, housing, trading standards, environmental health, parking and internal audit.
Following the creation of LBFIG similar groups across the country were formed to create a national organisation called LAIOG UK (Local Authority Investigation Officers Group).
LBFIG is managed by an Executive Committee elected at its AGM. Currently, the Executive Committee comprises Mark O'Halloran (Chair)(Tri-Borough), Jamie Branch (Clarion Housing), Stephanie Toghill (Camden), Declan Khan (Barnet), Kevin Holland (Wandsworth, SWLFP), Andy Hyatt (Tri-Borough), Chris Keesing (City of London), Ben Marshall (Lambeth), Tony Qayum (Tower Hamlets), Selina Sterling (Hackney), Darren Davies (Harrow), Kevin Campbell-Scott (Southwark), Kevin Key (Barking & Dagenham), Patrick Sanders-Wright (Hackney)

Kirk Hinrich?

Kirk Hinrich?
I've been pushing that the Raptors need serious backcourt help for a while now. Mike Miller has been my #1 option as a trade target but just today I thought, why not Kirk Hinrich be another top target?
- Hinrich is 6'3 and has shown be to a competent (sometimes quite good) defensive player at PG and SG.
- He has 4 years left on his contract at prices:$10,000,000, $9,500,000, $9,000,000, $8,000,000. That might be a bit long but the Raptors should not be giving up much in any deal here.
- Chicago already has Rose at PG and Gordon and Sefolosha at SG. Yes they might lose Gordon but a trade here might give them more room to keep him.
- Parker is gone after this season. I guarantee he will get a better offer somewhere overseas.
- I would start a backcourt of Calderon and Hinrich. You do lose offensive efficiency with Hinrich over Parker but you get younger, you gain more creativity and playmaking (something I think is a big need for the Raptors), and, if needed, you get someone else who can play PG.
So what to trade for him? Some combination of my usual trade assets:
Parker - $4.5 million expirer
Graham - $2.5 million expirer
Kapono - $5.8mil, $6.2mil, $6.41mil. You push for the Bulls to take him off your hands but I doubt that happens. Kapono's contract stinks.
Future 1st rounder - around $1.5 million assuming Raptors pick around #20.
Bargnani - $5.1mil, $6.5mil. I'd prefer to trade Bargnani for something else though.
It's not a move that turns the Raptors into instant contenders but gives them a decent younger long-term option at SG and PG without breaking the bank.

Rotator Cuff Surgery
Rotator cuff tears often result from sports injuries, falls or severe strains. At Middlesex Hospital, our orthopedic surgeons specialize in a variety of diagnostic procedures designed to carefully analyze your medical condition and determine the best course of action. We then help you navigate surgical and non-surgical recommendations and follow-up requirements.
Many rotator cuff surgical repairs can be done on an outpatient basis and do not require an overnight stay in the hospital. Your orthopedic surgeon will discuss the best procedure to meet your individual health needs. You may have other shoulder problems in addition to a rotator cuff tear, such as osteoarthritis, bone spurs, or other soft- tissue tears. During the operation, your surgeon may be able to take care of these problems, as well.
The three techniques most commonly used for rotator cuff repair include traditional open repair, arthroscopic repair, and mini-open repair. Each procedure offers pain relief, strength improvement, and overall satisfaction. You and your surgeon should discuss each option in determining the best choice for your injury or condition.
In open repair, a traditional surgical incision is often required if the tear is large or complex. The surgeon may remove bone spurs during this procedure, as well. An open repair may be a good option if the tear is large or complex or if additional reconstruction, such as a tendon transfer, is required.
Over the years, new technology and advanced surgical experience has led to less- invasive procedures. At Middlesex Hospital, many rotator cuff tears are repaired arthroscopically. During arthroscopy, your surgeon inserts a small camera, called an arthroscope, into your shoulder joint. The camera displays pictures on a screen, and your surgeon uses these images to guide miniature surgical instruments.
Because the arthroscope and surgical instruments are very small, your surgeon can use small incisions rather than the larger incision needed for standard, open surgery. Arthroscopic repair is usually an outpatient procedure and is the least invasive method to repair a torn rotator cuff.

Survivor: Desert Island Politics
Survivor survives as the progenitor of the reality TV boom, chugging along into its second decade without the attention that ratings blockbusters like American Idol and controversial train-wreck upstarts like Jersey Shore and Real Housewives attract, or even the Emmys that its sibling The Amazing Race collects. The producers continue its formulaic rituals of the tribal council and comely young women walking on the beach in bikinis, and ninety per cent of host Jeff Probst's chatter remains the same from season to season. The producers have sought variety by introducing a few design innovations (three finalists instead of two, redivision of the tribes) that have often worked, and by painfully obvious nods to identity politics (tribal configurations based on age, gender, and race) that have not.
The season that concluded this past Sunday had a rogues' gallery of the stupid and the obnoxious. Rampant and egregious lying was the predominant tactic; those who tended to be straightforward and loyal were either incredibly passive or prone to insulting other players. Two different contestants committed acts of thievery, of property both personal (a $1600 pair of alligator shoes brought on an outdoor adventure show) and communal (a significant amount of the tribal food cache). Several players commented that they had to improve their behavior, primarily by shutting up so as to stop annoying everyone around them, and then proved completely incapable of doing so, sealing their doom. One young man was openly homophobic; a young woman crowed about administering a physical smackdown to a player with one leg. Even the less obnoxious players seemed incapable of sticking together when faced with being marginalized by a well-organized bloc, continually voting against each other in futile attempts to curry favor with those in control.
In previous seasons, players who exhibited physical strength and charisma sometimes found themselves targeted for removal by other players who feared their popularity and ability to win contests that provided protection from being thrown out of the game. The recent season was the first that I watched in which the elimination of successful players became the driving engine of the show. It was the Triumph of the Stupid, Nasty, and Mediocre, whose pronounced insecurity led them to purge the most visibly intelligent and accomplished players as dire threats. A doctor and a medical student, both amiable and mature, were purged quickly, as were the player with the sunniest attitude and the most inspirational leader, to be followed by the more visibly astute strategists. The physically strong stayed in the game longer, through lucky breaks or because they hid their potential for athletic dominance in early challenges.
Survivor has sometimes lost contestants to serious physical maladies, with the producers forcing players to quit based on medical advice. The 2010 series was the first in which two players just upped and quit, defeated by the elements and their own whims. One, Naonka, had quickly established herself as the clearest villain in the narrative, stealing food and bullying other players. In soliloquies, she had played up her toughness, no-nonsense attitude, and ambition to do whatever it would take to win, but then cried every time it rained. She announced her voluntary departure from the competition in the same breath that she claimed a birthright of a "family of strong black women" who never quit.
I am no fan of train-wreck TV, and this season would have certainly qualified for being dropped from my viewing schedule, yet I found the contest compelling. I fear that Survivor is becoming infected with the ethos of the shows of dysfunctional characters and condescending viewers; Survivor always has had opportunities for both, but also has supplied positive points of identification and interesting strategic plotting. More worryingly, perhaps the problems of this season reflected not its intra-generic drift but a bigger model upon which the contestants could base their actions. I had stopped watching news channels recently, and perhaps I kept watching Survivor because it became a metaphor for the political situation I was trying to avoid. It was all there: the defining of others primarily as threats; the rampant mendacity; the distrust of the educated. Two contestants were already millionaires, but wanted still more; the character with the loudest braggadocio got away with incredible obnoxiousness, only to suddenly bail on her teammates, leaving them in a strategic lurch. Those proclaiming traditional small-town values bonded in opposing high-tech snobs, then destroyed each other.
Yet the finale of Survivor justified the pained viewing of several months; in the end, a cheery young man who talked like a surfer and had been written off by the majority alliance as a moronic goofball managed to sneak into the final rounds, display hidden physical and mental gifts, and be rewarded in the final vote for his relative honesty, winning the grand prize against two huge liars. He thereby proclaimed that he would use the prize money to help his family and study ethnomusicology. Dude! In this dark hour, Survivor supplied a happy ending. The tribe has spoken. If THAT group could finally get it right, can we?

At the same time, we are reminded that there is nothing supreme about the United States Supreme Court which is little more than a bunch of post menopausal men, driven by ideological purity rather than legal principles or the Rule of Law.
Here's the story I wanted to share – A man was stopped in NJ on a minor traffic violation. His family was in the car. The Officer checked the man's driver's license and discovered that there was an outstanding warrant for this individual because of an unpaid fine for an earlier traffic violation. The point to keep in mind here is we are talking about two minor traffic violations.
It is true that over the years I have been accused of practicing without a license. As a legal beagle, I am not a lawyer but much of my adult life has focused on the law - as a lobbyist for Friends of the Earth in Washington, DC, employed in a State Public Defender's office for more than a decade and then as an elected official and mayor of a small Rocky Mountain town.
It is true that over the years I have been accused of practicing without a license. As a legal beagle, I am not a lawyer but much of my adult life has focused on the law - as a lobbyist for Friends of the Earth in Washington, DC, employed in a State Public Defender's office for more than a decade and then as an elected official and mayor of a small Rocky Mountain town.
What that officer did not know was that the outstanding warrant was erroneous either due to human error or technological failure and that the fine had already been paid. However, despite his protestations, this man was taken to jail in handcuffs and, here's where it gets interesting, he was strip searched including his genitals and body cavities. He was held for six days before being transferred to county jail – where he was again strip searched – cavities and all.
Finally his wife managed to convince the right person that the earlier fine had been paid and that her husband was being incorrectly incarcerated. As you might expect, upon his release, this man sued the County in NJ for violating his Fourth Amendment rights which protects each of us from 'unreasonable search and seizure' – like when the Red Coats would enter a Colonial home without being invited.
Even if none of us ever experience what this individual experienced, his conclusion sounds like reasonable interpretation; that by virtue of two strip searches for minor violations of the law, this individual's Constitutionally-protected Fourth Amendment rights had been violated - but this is 2011 in America and things have changed since 1775.
This case was just argued before the Supreme Court at which time the issue became whether only citizens arrested on felonies should be strip searched or whether citizens arrested on minor violations such as traffic and speeding should also be strip searched. The Court is expected to rule on this matter in several months.
Not surprisingly the County has denied any wrong doing claiming that they have the right to conduct 'blanket' strip searches on all inmates; meaning that regardless of whether a person is incarcerated for a felony or a misdemeanor or a traffic violation, anyone incarcerated on any violation of the law is subject to being stripped and searched - including all your cavities and canals.
The situation in which this individual found himself seems an obvious over-reach by law enforcement to any objective observer but what is at stake here is no less than the continued assault on the Constitution and civil liberty protections for every American - assaults that GW Bush instigated with the Patriot Act and that Barack Obama has shamelessly accelerated.
But here's what flips me out. Joining the NJ County in front of the Supreme Court in support of 'blanket' strip searches' for all detainees, is the Obama Department of Justice. Despite the President's objectionable three year history on civil liverties, it is difficult to wrap one's mind around that one. Even though of course the President does not personally sign off on every action instituted by the DOJ, there is no doubt that Attorney General Eric Holder is acting within what he believes to be the criminal justice priorities as set forth by the President of the United States.
In other words, if asked at a press conference, we could expect the President to support strip and body cavity searches - even for those Americans arrested on a minor traffic citation. While this may seem an obvious violation of the Fourth Amendment, why should anyone be surprised. As Jonathon Turley and others have pointed out, it may seem inconceivable that a Democrat in the White House can be responsible for expanding on GW's assault on civil liberty protections. Obviously, if this were a Republican President, the 'liberals' would be outraged, up in arms and otherwise appropriately over-wrought in their denunciations of a President so grossly insensitive to Constitutional protections.
One justification for 'blanket' body searches is that a new arrestee might be hiding contraband (?) or drugs within bodily cavities and would, therefore, introduce the contraband to the existing jail population. The problem with that theory is that this individual (and presumably many other new arrestees) had no reasonable expectation and was not aware he was about to be arrested. Are we to assume then that such individuals make it a routine habit of walking around while concealing such contraband within their bodily cavities? The possibility is ludicrous to contemplate.
Currently, we have the case of Bishop Robert Finn who has been indicted by a grand jury for failing to inform police about pornographic images found in the laptop computer of a priest under his supervision. May we expect high profile personalities like the Bishop to be subjected to blanket body searches - except in the Bishop's case, he was not placed under arrest.
Given the recent history of this activist Supreme Court, what are the odds they will find in favor of this individual or the NJ County and the Federal government?
Here's a novel idea - let's elect a Constitutional scholar in 2012.

I'm taking part in the index card a day challenge, which runs through June and July. It's a really fun, low stress, flexible art booster! It's organised by Tammy at daisy yellow blog, and you can find out more about it there.
There are prompts and themes which you can follow, but I tend to ignore those. In fact one of the most exciting things about the challenge for me is discovering what I'm interested in making work about - which can be the basis for more in depth artworks eg paintings or linoprints.
Some of my cards have been based on photos from my holidays. Many have a garden theme. I've been watching an English gardening show on youtube called 'The big allotment challenge', and have been pausing it to draw some of the gardeners. My kids are laughing at me for making 'fan art'.
If all else fails I do a mandala or any kind of doodle so that there's a stepping stone to the next day where I might do something better! I must admit that I haven't made a card everyday, sometimes I get behind, and then have a catch up day and make 2 or 3. It's ok, it's a challenge where anything's allowed as long as you're making art! I've been posting my work on flickr and instagram (which I'm new to but enjoying @fernyhoughkate). You can search #indexcardart or #ICAD2017 to see what everybody's doing.
In my last blogpost I had a bit of a complain about job hunting, since then things suddenly turned around. I had a call back, and an interview, and have been offered a casual job, which is a big relief. After being in limbo for some months it will be great to get on with the next phase of life.

New Lights at the 101 Cafe
It seems like there is never a time that some road work is being done around the Cafe. When it was first built the road (Highway 101) was already paved and the sidewalks were put in that
same year in 1928. Since we have had the Cafe for over twenty years of its 80 year history the projects are too numerous to count. Needless to say that the present project to put left turn signals on Coast Highway in order to turn onto Wisconsin Street is welcome. They are projecting completion in a few months so you can experience an important part of our history at the Cafe, change.
We will commit to provide you the best food and service in this new atmosphere which will provide some entertainment for the big and little kids in your family. If you happen to just want to check out the workers then come in between 7:00am and 3:30pm Monday through Friday and of course you want to avoid them come in any other time.

Two Headed Cow Questions
Ever wondered where the Two Headed Cow was displayed in Oceanside or what the name of an early hotel that used the Mission San Luis Rey as its promotion? How about how many piers there have been, well then you only need the assistance of the Oceanside Historical Society. For over twenty years the Society has dedicated itself to find these and many more local history answers. Volunteer driven they have helped publish two books on our history and given assistance to untold number of fact seekers. They have helped school kids with their assignments and college students track the history of local agriculture. They have helped families find out about their Oceanside heritage and have put on some wonderful history programs. The last program in February on Trains was a big hit and the next program yet scheduled about our Piers will be very popular.
Kristi Hawthorne leads the organization as their President and the most hard working advocate of saving our heritage. She also acts as our Archivist and has complied an endless amount of our history. She authored the very popular local history Oceanside "Where Life is Worth Living" in 2000. Our community owes a big thanks to her for her continuing contribution.

It's exciting, buying a home. But because of how much you're looking forward to being a new homeowner, you might blindsided to all the additional costs that come with it. When you've already crunched the numbers and reviewed your mortgage rates and interests, studied the down payments and budgeted for it, you almost don't want to think about all the other costs that come with owning your own house.
This is however a reality that you have to take into consideration. These additional costs can creep up to you without you even knowing it.
These are the niggling little details behind owning a home. There's application processing, document preparation, filing costs, notary fees, appraisal requirements, the latter possibly leading to more costs such as damages caused by infestation or molding or anything similar. Then there are cases where real estate lawyers may be involved, which means you need to tack on costs to cover lawyer fees as well.
Title and deed registration will also require additional costs. And these are usually charged by number of pages.
These are costs that you don't necessarily notice, but you can't avoid either since closing is one of the most important parts of a sale. You can negotiate these with your seller, but generally ranges from two to five percent of your overall cost.
Title insurance may also be required, especially when a home doesn't have a clean title. However, unlike typical insurance policies, this only requires a one time payment.
Origination costs, discount points, credit report fees and even court courier fees can accumulate to a very significant amount. Additional costs also include tax service fees to ensure your taxes were recorded properly to avoid future property complications and a flood certification fee.
Homeowners insurance is also a requirement with most lending institutions requiring it prior to loan collateral. Usually, this factors into the amount of escrow you have to put up. Mortgage insurance is also a consideration.
There are also cases where you will be asked to give a six month projection of your estimated property taxes. These will normally go into your escrow account that will later be paid to the county assessor.
Buying a home isn't as straightforward as you think it is. There is a lot of paperwork to consider, combined with the complex and complicated nature of buying a home. Consider talking to your realtor to learn and navigate through the process to familiarize yourself and make sure you are spending money towards the right places.

Feyre is only nineteen but her family survival rests on her shoulders. Her father is broke and cripple. Her sisters are useless or too young and her mother passed away after begging Feyre to take care of them. Now she hunts in the forest for their food and counts the days before they starve. After she kills a wolf in the forest, a giant shape shifting fairy breaks in their door and demands to know who killed his friend. Tamlin gives her a choice, live with him forever or die. Some choice huh? So, she leaves her family after he promises not to let them starve and crosses the giant wall into the fairy realm. But not all is as it seems. There's a plague upon this world, one that threatens to spill into the human world and that plague's name is Amarantha.
I do want to point out first that I did skip the first chapter and some of the second. I don't care to read about her hunting but rather than skip the book, I told my sister in law I'd give it a try, I skipped those parts. I'm totally giddy and excited. This book is fabulous and beautiful and dark and twisted. Yes, I know that a run-on sentence. No, I don't care. I love this book so hard. The world building is perfect. It's just enough to be different but no so complicated that I got confused. Fairies live on one side of the wall, humans on the other. The fairy realm is a lot more intricate and I found it fascinating how the author set that all up. Feyre, LOVE her! She tough. She does what she had to do to stay alive and keep her family alive. She's not a bad a$$ but she's not some whiny girl either. The more I read, the more I was immersed in this world. Tamlin is very standoffish in the beginning and as I read he unfurled like a gorgeous flower. There are even some steamy bits in here that I think are really tastefully done! And that ending *mouth drops open* Wow.
Action? Hell, yes!
Romance? Yes! Adorable!
World building? Perfect! Fairies and shape shifters!
I've already ordered the next book in the series and I'm eagerly awaiting it or rather impatiently awaiting it. So, to sum this review up. GO BUY A COURT OF THORNS AND ROSES! It's a must read.

Ezekiel 28 Lexham English Bible (LEB)
A Prophecy Aimed at the King of Tyre
28 And the word of Yahweh came[a] to me, saying,[b] 2 "Son of man,[c] say to the leader of Tyre, 'Thus says the Lord Yahweh:
"Because your heart was haughty,
6 Therefore thus says the Lord Yahweh:
"Because of your regarding your mind[g]
for I myself[o] have spoken!" declares[p] the Lord Yahweh.
11 And the word of Yahweh came[q] to me, saying,[r] 12 "Son of man,[s] raise a lament over the king of Tyre, and you must say to him, 'thus says the Lord Yahweh:
"You were a perfect model of[t] an example,
20 And the word of Yahweh came[ae] to me, saying,[af] 21 "Son of man,[ag] set your face toward Sidon and prophesy against it, 22 and you must say, 'Thus says the Lord Yahweh:
"Look! I am against you, Sidon,
24 And there will not be any longer[ai] a painful thorn and a sharp thornbush for[aj] the house of Israel from anywhere around them[ak] from those who are despising them,[al] and they will know that I am the Lord Yahweh."'"
25 Thus says the Lord Yahweh: "When I gather the house of Israel from the peoples to which they were scattered about in them, and I show myself holy in[am] them before the eyes of the nations, then they will live on their soil, which I gave to my servant Jacob. 26 And they will live on it in safety, and they will build houses, and they will plant vineyards, and they will live in safety when I execute my judgments on all those who despise them from all around them,[an] and then they will know that I am Yahweh their God."

By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
BOSTON — A Boston-based publisher of real estate data says the median price of single-family homes in Massachusetts fell sharply in July, declining 12.3 percent compared to the same time last year.
Prices dropped to $320,000 from $365,000 in July 2007, the steepest decline in monthly home prices since The Warren Group started tracking the state's housing market in 1987.
The Warren Group also said the sale of single-family homes declined 6.4 percent and condominium sales dropped 12.5 percent.
The Massachusetts Association of Realtors reported a more modest 10.7 percent decline in the median selling price in July.
The industry group also reported that sales of single-family homes and condominiums were down 10 percent and 6.7 percent, respectively, compared to the same time last year.

They're supposedly selling vacuum cleaners. But there are several reports now calling the door-to-door salespeople suspicious
The warnings are stacking up on social media.
Take this case in Strongsville.
It's the middle of the afternoon Thursday. There's a knock on the door at a home on Hartford Trail.
It's a man and a woman.
"They said they were going door-to-door giving all my neighbors free dish soap and they needed feedback on how well it worked," said the homeowner who asked to be anonymous.
"Then he said, 'have you ever heard of Kirby vacuum cleaners?' And my husband walked up and they left in a hurry."
A no soliciting sign was of no significance to them.
"It just didn't make any sense and they didn't have anything with them. No badges, no paperwork and just one of those little bottles of Gain."
Sure enough, another call reporting the same tactic came in from just down the street.
Strongsville police responded and questioned a man who lives near Columbus.
The police report says officers told them they needed a permit and they then left the neighborhood.
"I didn't believe they worked for Kirby because it just didn't seem like a good marketing tactic. I can't believe the company would stand behind that kind of tactic either."
Channel 3's Amani Abraham reached out to Kirby.
A spokesman says the man named in the police report is NOT an authorized, independent distributor of Kirby products, but he may be affiliated with one of the distributors as a salesperson.
Whoever they are, they seem to be making the rounds.
Similar social media posts are stacking up from cities like Brook Park as well.
"They're saying they were giving one tide laundry pod so I kind of had a heads up that something was not right. You just don't know what they are up to and if they are trying to see if someone is home during the day. I wouldn't want older people to fall victim to that."
It may be that they are only guilty of a questionable sales tactic.
But the man named in the police report didn't call us back when we asked for contact information for the Kirby distributor he works for.
Strongsville Police gave him a warning and said stop all soliciting until they have a permit.
They're saying to ask for that permit if someone knocks on your door. Salespeople are supposed to be actually wearing it where it is visible. If you don't see it, they say, call police.
