How to change the Rear Window Wiper blade on a Saturn Vue
I want to change the rear window wiper blade but I see no way of disconnecting it to accomplish my task.
Repair guides and support for the out of production cars and SUVs manufactured by the Saturn Corporation
Tim Wiza, here is what I got:"
1) remove the plastic cover at the base of the arm.
2) lift the arm up as far as it will pivot.
3) grab the blade at the center and pull it away from the arm.
It is a snap fit into the arm at the pivot point. There are no hidden levers or release buttons to worry about." Some people find it easier to remove the whole wiper arm. Here is a bit more of a visual assistance. Hope this helps, good luck.
Also it depends on the year of your VUE. Some models the wiper assembly just snaps out.
In other model years The wiper arm uses a reverse J to attach to the wiper blade.
For the reverse J: pull the arm of the wiper away from the glass. as you twist the wiper blade you will see the underside of the J arm. the bottom of the J is pushed up through the wiper blade assembly and a plastic retainer can be removed. once removed the blade comes off.

I have friends who live on Mount Davidson who love their eucalyptus trees. One of them sent out this missive to all their friends:
I’m not political and I’ve never before gotten involved in anything remotely “activist,” or even signed a petition as far as I can remember. I’m certainly not a “tree-hugger.” But when I heard about a little-known program of the Rec & Park Dept I got so angry that I had to do something. This is what I’m emailing you about.
The “Natural Areas Program” (NAP), also called the Significant Natural Resource Areas Management Plan (SNRAMP) of the San Francisco Rec & Park Dept claims that it seeks to preserve, restore, and enhance the City’s natural areas. That sounds good, and they got tons of money in a bond measure a few years ago to do just that, and will be asking in November for more bond money. However, in their zeal to be “natural” they have gone too far and adopted an approach to our parks that is not appropriate for urban forest areas.
In Mt. Davidson, McLaren, Glen Canyon and other parks, they have a plan to remove more than 18,000 healthy trees (1,600 on Mt. Davidson alone.) Any tree under 15 feet doesn’t count so the actual number will be much higher. In place of beautiful, majestic trees they will plant native scrub and seasonal grasses, like at Twin Peaks and San Bruno Mountain.
They will also restrict public use (closing some trails and prohibiting dogs in certain areas) and apply herbicides to maintain the native plant gardens.
The trees are being cut down not because they are dangerous or unhealthy (although that is one of the reasons given by NAP representatives.) They are being cut down because they will block the sunlight for the new native plant gardens, and because the NAP staff has a philosophical dislike for non-native species. They are already starting to do this even though the EIR is only in the draft stage. They have already removed trees and visitor benches on Mt. Davidson and routinely spray herbicides on Twin Peaks and other areas.
The NAP mentions innocuous-sounding things like trail restoration, natural habitat preservation, etc. but in fact they have great leeway to remove trees and use herbicides under this plan.
The Draft EIR dismisses public concerns as insignificant (e.g., soil erosion and increased wind), or they do not address them (reduced air quality). Lance thinks that the weather in our neighborhood may change.
Trees insulate the parks and our neighborhoods from wind, sound, and sights and are home to thriving wildlife. They create a beautiful forest oasis that is truly unique in an urban area. These parks and forests are one of the reasons that Lance and I chose to live here. They are among the treasures of our City.
The NAP approach is one you would take with a marine sanctuary or pristine garden—less people, less recreation, introduce native species at all costs—which is inappropriate in an urban setting. I believe the parks should be for the use and enjoyment of the public. Where there are already native plants and trees, fine, preserve them. But to remove healthy trees because they are not native and plant native gardens is outrageous, and a terrible misuse of City money.
An organization called the San Francisco Forest Alliance was formed to fight this approach to our parks. They have lots of info here:
If you agree that removing healthy trees, using toxins to maintain a nativist “natural” environment, and restricting public access in our parks is crazy, and a better use of the Rec & Park budget is maintaining what forest we have and fixing the infrastructure in the parks (restrooms, playgrounds, pools, etc.), then I encourage you to sign the online petition on the Forest Alliance website http://sfforest.net/ and forward this to others and encourage them to sign the petition and make their views known.
Regardless of how you may feel about eucalyptus and other non-native species, please educate yourself about this issue before making up your mind. (See links above.)
If you sign the petition, please do so as soon as possible, as the Forest Alliance wants to present it on Arbor Day, April 27.
Thank you for reading this. Hope all is well with you.
Meanwhile, Chuck Nevius seems to be taking a rather feckless tone on the issue, while disguising it in cynicism:
I'm rather divided on this. I understand the eucalyptus trees are basically a pest, but I don't see the utility of removing so many trees when they're already rooted in the rocks. I also don't really understand why a municipal parks department would want to take on what appears to be more of a restorative/archaeological function, as opposed to the National Park Service. It seems to me that while there is a preservation interest within the national parks such as the Presidio, Municipal park areas are more for use. It sounds to me like the local iteration of this program is starting to lose its proper scale.
At issue is a 20-year plan to remove as many as 1,600 trees from the area and replace them with native plants. Neighborhood groups are so upset that Supervisor Sean Elsbernd wrote an editorial in the West Portal Monthly urging them to calm things down.
"I tried," Elsbernd sighed. "If you listen to some of the rhetoric, you'd think it was going to be clear-cut in the next six months."
But residents, like Jacquie Proctor, who has written books on the neighborhood, wonder why any trees have to go.
"I live in the densest city in the United States," she said. "The 40 acres of open space is wonderful buffer from urban life."
There is more to this than 40 acres. In all, the Recreation and Park Department plans to remove 3,424 trees in locations like Mount Davidson, Mount Sutro and Sharp Park. The department's Lisa Wayne said the goal is "to sustain and restore natural environment and biodiversity."

The long-awaited monsoon season has arrived. This season is eagerly anticipated since it will relieve the summer heat. However, each year, the monsoon brings a slew of diseases caused by deadly viruses and significantly influences our immunity. Several infectious illnesses are transmitted by the humid climate, intense rainfall, and windy surroundings.
So, if you suffer from any diseases, particularly the youngsters, do not neglect it. Numerous symptoms might be deceiving and necessitate medical treatment. Get help from health experts at Brisbane House Call Doctor as soon as possible. Furthermore, all you need to do is apply the medical advice listed below to protect yourself from fatal infections and boost your immunity.
What are the Common Monsoon Diseases?
Our immune system is negatively affected during the monsoon season, which leads to an increase in water-borne infections. However, we must all be aware of why our bodies are susceptible during the rainy season and how to be safe and healthy at all times. The following are a few of the most prevalent monsoon diseases and their symptoms:
Anopheles mosquitoes are the vectors of malaria. Malaria is a potentially deadly infectious disease that is transmitted through mosquito bites on people. The prevalence of this disease rises during the monsoon season, when there is a problem with water clogging in many regions, creating a breeding habitat for mosquitoes. Among the symptoms are:
- High fever
- Body discomfort
Dengue fever is the most frequent illness during the monsoon season and is transmitted by mosquito bites of the Aedes aegypti mosquito. Among the symptoms are:
- Skin irritation
- High fever
- Insufficient palette count
Typhoid is a very contagious monsoon sickness caused by Salmonella typhi bacteria. Typhoid fever is a microbial illness that can be deadly. The Bacteria is often spread by contaminated food and drinking water, and it is more widespread where handwashing is less common. Among the symptoms are:
- Abdominal pain
- Prolonged fever
Leptospirosis is a viral illness that spreads from animals to human beings. Any open bruises or wounds should be covered. This illness is often transmitted via open wounds when traveling through waterlogged places. Among the symptoms are:
- Muscle pain
- Abdominal discomfort
Stomach infections occur when unsanitary food and beverage items are consumed. Gastroenteritis is a prevalent stomach ailment at this time of year. In this circumstance, it is recommended that you drink plenty of warm water and eat home-cooked meals. Among the symptoms are:
- Low fever
- Abdominal pain
Common Cold and Flu
The significant cause of cold and flu throughout the rainy season is a fast shift in weather, which causes temperature variations. The immune system weakens during the monsoon season and becomes more susceptible to coughs, colds, and flu. Among the symptoms are:
- Muscle pain
- Runny nose
Diarrhea is a prevalent health issue during the monsoon season. It might vary from a minor ailment to a potentially fatal illness. This may be caused by consuming unsanitary food and drink. Among the symptoms are:
- Blood in the feces
How Can Monsoon Diseases be Prevented?
Here are a few tips to take into account to avoid the diseases mentioned above:
1. Maintain a Healthy Lifestyle to Enhance Your Immunity
This season’s severe temperature changes and high humidity make one prone to many viruses that cause flu and colds. Throughout this season, eating a well-balanced diet rich in immunity-boosting foods and drinking enough water can help keep you safe from viral illnesses. Try medicinal beverages or mixtures such as honey and water or herbal teas to help preserve the respiratory and immune systems. Also, exercising and good sleep are still essential components of a healthy immune system.
2. Consider Home-cooked Meals
Infections such as hepatitis A and typhoid increase more rapidly during the monsoon season owing to contaminated food and water. Utilize only boiled or filtered water, and don’t use water that has sat for a few hours. Also, eat home-cooked meals, avoid raw veggies, especially leafy ones, and check all vegetables and fruit before eating for mud, parasites, rot, and other pollutants. Furthermore, all organic foods should be carefully cleansed.
3. Take a Bath Twice a Day and Dress Hygienically
On cold rainy days, it is highly suggested to take a bath twice a day to prevent infection from illnesses caused by the buildup of additional moisture and dirt due to humidity. Remember to wash your clothes regularly and, if possible, dry or iron them before using them. This destroys the fungal spores and prevents skin disorders.
4. Always Have Anti-Allergy Medications On Hand
Allergy patients may notice that the monsoon season aggravates or causes new symptoms. Thus, it is best to avoid known allergens and maintain anti-allergic drugs at all times, as this season has the highest temperature, promoting the development of various fatal parasites or viruses.
5. Regularly Wash and Dry Your Feet
Fungus infections, especially in the foot, are another issue that is peculiar to this season. Thoroughly wash and disinfect your feet every day, particularly if they have been moistened in rain or dirt. Moreover, it is not advisable to wear wet shoes for a lengthy time. Therefore, after thoroughly drying your feet, use antifungal or antibiotic-containing balms or moisturizers to avoid skin problems.
6. Use Insect Repellents and Disinfectants
Avoid walking on damp sidewalks and roadways, which serve as mosquito nesting sites. To reduce the risk of diseases transmitted by mosquitoes and insects, employ insect repellents and antimicrobials such as neem leaves and cloves. Letting water stagnate in and around your house is a bad idea, and you should urge others to do the same. If you come across such a source, be careful to sterilize it to avoid parasites or airborne infections.

CRESTWOOD, Ill. — Windy City’s Stephen Sauer tossed a complete game shutout as the ThunderBolts topped the Schaumburg Boomers 3-0 on Monday night.
Sauer (6-4) allowed just four hits in the win for Windy City, becoming the second ThunderBolt to toss a shutout this year. Sauer struck out eight including back-to-back hitters in the ninth. Windy City scored a pair of runs in the first inning on RBI singles from Chad Cregar and Bob Glover. Cregar added a solo homer in the sixth, his fifth of the season against the Boomers.
Robby Donovan suffered the hard luck loss for the Boomers.

Somewhere out in the fictional desert between “Breaking Bad” and No Country for Old Men, death is stalking its next victim in Gabino Iglesias’ spellbinding third novel, The Devil Takes You Home. The word spellbinding is used advisedly here, because the novel’s interweaving of fantastical elements with sudden and savage violence will leave unwary readers stunned.
It’s a story as old as Job: A good guy, beset by horrible circumstances, tries to preserve his faith and sanity in the face of unrelenting misery. In the biblical tale, Job holds fast to his soul; in this one, Mario goes down a darker road. Overwhelmed by medical expenses and offered a chance to make some quick money as a hit man, Mario hesitates only for a moment before packing heat and becoming an avenging angel.
It’s not uncommon for those who live in the shadow of criminality to dream of one big score that will put them on easy street, and Mario’s friend Brian offers him a piece of this dream: They will claim one cartel’s shipment of money for a different cartel and thus receive a handsome chunk of the reward. When Brian and Mario meet Don Vázquez, the baddest of the bad and the head of the Juárez Cartel, they try to exchange pleasantries: “Thank you, Brian,” Don Vázquez replies, “but I was just telling your friend Mario that meeting me is never a pleasure; meeting me is something that happens to people because they have made a bad decision.”
As with most noir narratives, this one is rife with bad decisions, many of them lethal. Iglesias does masterful work with Mario’s internal narration as he puzzles over which of his partners poses the greatest potential threat. Much of the novel switches back and forth between Spanish and English, and both languages are integral to the story, making them all the more worthwhile to comprehend.
The world of The Devil Takes You Home is harsh and unforgiving, its desert the most treacherous terrain. Iglesias does such a place justice in his brawny, serpentine and remarkably poignant novel.


Leicester reject second bid for James Maddison over £40m from Newcastle
Leicester reject second bid for James Maddison over £40m from Newcastle.
Newcastle made an improved offer for Leicester midfielder James Maddison; Magpies had opening £40m bid rejected for the 25-year-old at the weekend and the latest offer was more than the initial proposal; Wesley Fofana hints at Leicester exit with cryptic message
Leicester have rejected a second offer from Newcastle for midfielder James Maddison – with the latest proposal made at just over £40m.
The Magpies saw their opening £40m bid rejected at the weekend and the latest offer was understood to be over that figure.
Newcastle are now deciding whether to return with an improved offer or focus on other targets.
If Newcastle were to complete a deal for the Foxes midfielder, Maddison would become the club’s record signing – eclipsing the £40m they paid Hoffenheim for Joelinton in July 2019.
Maddison scored 18 goals and provided 12 assists in 53 appearances in all competitions for Leicester last season.
Eddie Howe remains keen to strengthen his squad despite some setbacks in the transfer market this summer, having been rebuffed in their attempts to sign Everton midfielder Anthony Gordon, while French striker Hugo Ekitike opted for a move to Paris Saint-Germain instead of Newcastle.
The north east club have made three summer signings so far with the arrivals of Aston Villa left-back Matt Targett, Burnley goalkeeper Nick Pope and Lille defender Sven Botman.
Rodgers: No way I want to sell Maddison
Leicester boss Brendan Rodgers wants to keep Maddison and joked after Sunday’s 1-0 friendly win over Sevilla that £40m would buy “three-quarters of his left leg”.
Leicester, who are the only top-flight side yet to make a signing this summer, still need to sell to bring in reinforcements but Rodgers insisted they will not be taken advantage of over Maddison or others.
“There is obviously, within the club, a financial situation which isn’t ideal in terms of wanting to do business. It doesn’t mean we will be exploited and we don’t want t
o be losing our best players,” he said.
“You don’t want to lose your best players and then not be able to bring any in. That doesn’t stack up.
“With James, he is looking the best he has in my time here. He is a joy to work with. I love him as a young guy, seeing him grow from when I first came in to a 25-year-old father.
“He is really pivotal to us. There is no way I would want to sell him.”

Why did we decide to refurbish the CCTV control room?
At Mayfair Fire & Security, we provide 24-hour remote alarm monitoring to residents, businesses, and public bodies in the UK and Northern Ireland. Our old CCTV control room required modernisation we keep up to date with the latest advancements in cutting-edge technology. Therefore, we felt it was necessary to carry out a complete refurbishment of the control room.
Project completed with Thinking Space Systems
We teamed up with a company called Thinking Space Systems. They are a global provider of high-quality technical furniture for control rooms of all industries. The project objective was to modernise and upgrade our existing and successful control room. Thinking Space Systems helped us tick all these boxes, and the results are superb. The CCTV control room is something we are very proud of as a company.
A high specification suite of technical furniture was designed to handle high-tech storage and give our operators the best workplace possible. Two of the five workstations are height adjustable for maximum comfort for team members who may require that feature.
The addition of a large, curved monitor wall further enhanced the technical capacity to carry an array of large screens. This will provide ease of maintenance and future technological changes.
Our personal finishing touches
Mark, our operations manager, wanted to add some finishing touches to the CCTV control room to give it that extra oomph! We changed the colour scheme, we have a new glass office for internal and client meetings, and we also fixed a luminous sign on the wall near the entrance! We are very happy with the results, and we can’t wait to show them off.

Jury delivers guilty verdict in Norwich Goth strangulation case
A jury, after hearing nearly a month of unusual testimony in a case involving followers of the Goth subculture, found Kristopher Prudhomme guilty Friday after deliberating for just a few hours in New London Superior Court.
Prudhomme, 30, now of Houston, Texas, faces a maximum of 30 years in prison when he is sentenced Feb. 26. He was taken into custody after Judge Barbara Bailey Jongbloed increased his bond from $250,000 to $600,000. In asking for the bond to be raised, the prosecutor requested that the judge order prison officials to provide attention to Prudhomme because he is autistic and possibly suicidal.
Prudhomme's father, who had watched the entire trial, and his mother, who viewed the past few days of testimony, were crying in the front row of the courtroom.
The jury of five men and one woman declined to comment on the verdict as they left the building. They had pronounced Prudhomme guilty of three of the five charges involving the Oct. 22, 2016, attack that left victim Michael Lovering with no legs. They said he was not guilty of first-degree assault with intent to cause serious physical injury, but guilty of first-degree assault under circumstances evincing an extreme indifference to human life. They found him not guilty of strangulation, but guilty of cruelty to persons and tampering with evidence.
"We appreciate the hard work of the jury," prosecutor Stephen M. Carney said. "This was a difficult case. It was long and sometimes tedious. They were careful and attentive, and this showed in their deliberations."
Carney thanked Inspector Rhett D'Amico, who he said did extraordinary work assembling the case, which involved multiple witnesses from out of state and a large number of exhibits. Also working with the prosecution was Victim Services Advocate Stephanie Barber, who called the victim at his home in Louisiana to tell him of the verdict.
Defense attorney Damon A.R. Kirschbaum declined to comment as he and his associates left the building.
The jury had re-listened to testimony from Lauren Muskus, the woman at the center of the conflict between Prudhomme and the victim, before rendering its verdict.
Lovering, who is confined to a wheelchair, had traveled from Louisiana to testify at the trial and had vomited at the witness stand during cross-examination by Kirschbaum.
Testimony at the trial had revealed that Prudhomme, then working as a draftsman at Electric Boat and living in an apartment on Main Street in Norwich, had invited Lovering to stay with him while Lovering got his life together. The two men were both involved in the Goth scene and had met while serving as DJs and music promoters in New Orleans clubs.
On Oct. 22, 2016, after coming home from a concert in New Haven, Lovering, who was drinking, admitted to Prudhomme that he had slept with Prudhomme's girlfriend, Muskus, while Prudhomme was at work, according to testimony.
Lovering said he was sitting on the floor, his legs tucked under him, when he felt pressure on his neck and passed out. Though he said Muskus was present in the room and witnessed the attack, she testified that she was in Prudhomme's room the entire night.
Though Muskus said she and Prudhomme could hear Lovering groaning in his bedroom, Prudhomme did not check on Lovering and call 911 for about 14 hours. During that time, Lovering, who still had his legs tucked beneath him when the first police officer arrived, had lost circulation to his legs. A surgeon had to amputate both limbs the next day.
The state had asserted that Prudhomme used a string from one of Lovering's leather corsets to strangle Lovering, who had red marks on his neck when first responders arrived. According to testimony, Prudhomme gave the corset to Muskus, who took it to her apartment in Monroe.
In addition to testimony about the Goth scene, with its pale makeup, eyeliner, dark clothing and electronic music, the jury had heard testimony that both Lovering and Prudhomme were involved in the BDSM sex scene. Two medical examiners had testified at the trial about the possible origin of the red marks around Lovering's neck. Thousands of pages of Facebook posts and text messages were entered into evidence, along with the corset and a whipping device, known as a flogger.
The defense had alleged that Lovering attempted suicide or was flagellating himself when he was injured.

NASCAR has a long history of Hatfield-McCoy-like feuds. ( Richard Petty vs. David Pearson was the nastiest of 'em all.) Here's a look at the big three of '03.
1. Jeff Gordon vs. Robby Gordon
2003 head-to-head results: Jeff leads 12-5
The battle of the Gordons—who are related only by their mutual antipathy—flared again after last month's Dodge/Save Mart 350 at Infineon Raceway in Sonoma, Calif., when Jeff, who took second, said Robby won only because of a pass made under yellow. "If Robby was as fast under green as he was under caution," said Jeff, "he'd win a lot of these things."
2. Kurt Busch vs. Jimmy Spencer

Though one-sided, this rivalry remains white-hot because Busch and Spencer simply can't stand each other. Last year Busch said Spencer had "the brain of a peanut"; this year Mr. Excitement asserted that Busch "has a lot of problems mentally."

Winter is on its way to Colorado, and with the colder temperatures comes a much larger workload for your home’s water heater. This critical piece of equipment is responsible for warming the water you use to cook, wash your hands, and (most importantly!) shower. Keeping it running properly means you’ll have a steady supply of warm or hot water all winter long, so it’s crucial to perform regular maintenance on your water heater and to know what to look out for in case something goes wrong.
Doctor Fix It Plumbing, Heating, Cooling and Electric’s licensed technicians are standing by to help you get your water heater in tip-top shape for winter. Call them today at (303) 993-1550 to leverage affordable, expert assistance in the maintenance of all your home’s systems.
In the meantime, below is a water heater maintenance guide to help get you started!
Water Heaters Work Harder in Winter
Water heaters rely on groundwater, and that water is colder during the winter months than in the summer. That means the water heater has to work harder to heat it up. It also takes longer to reach the desired temperature. In addition, you and your family are more likely to want hotter water for showers and other uses than in the summer.
Know Your Water Heater's Lifespan
In general, water heaters last between 8-10 years, so if yours was installed more than a decade ago, it might be time for an upgrade. If they’re well-maintained with annual check-ups, they can last longer. Call a professional to help you diagnose any problems if you’re unsure of the state of your water heater.
Understand Why Leaks Happen
Leaking water heaters are usually the result of water quality issues, excessive water pressure, age, or a combination of these three factors. Performing regular maintenance on your water heater will help you stay in front of these things and address them before they become a more significant problem that results in a cold shower on a winter morning.
Recognize the Signs of Trouble
When there’s a problem with your water heater, odds are you’ll notice when you try to get hot water out of a tap. If your shower or faucet starts taking longer to warm up or doesn’t get as hot as it has in the past, you probably have a problem with your water heater. Likewise, if you’re not getting the same water pressure you used to, you might have an issue. The most common problems are leaks, failed parts keeping the water from heating, or unit failure from improper installation.
Pay Attention to Timing
Because water heaters are a large home purchase, many homeowners will need to save up for a new one. You should anticipate replacing your water heater every decade or so, but its lifespan will depend on how well it is maintained. While units that are not maintained by performing regular checks and annual flushes last 8-10 years, those that do receive maintenance can last up to 12 years. That means that with proper care, you can potentially save yourself the cost of an entire water heater over the course of a 30-year mortgage.
Keep Problems at Bay by Calling Doctor Fix It Plumbing, Heating, Cooling and Electric

As the viewing public geared up for the latest series of Celebrity Big Brother, there seemed to exist a general consensus that as contestants go, Girls Aloud member, Sarah Harding, was up there with some of the most high-profile.
Bearing that in mind, it's perhaps no surprise that the singer's time in the house has been under serious scrutiny from fans of the show, and it's fair to say that the former popstar has garnered her fair share of headlines in a relatively short period of time.
The latest controversy to surround Sarah is the suggestion that she 'slut-shamed' Fifth Harmony in a conversation with fellow housemate, Chad Johnson.
Claiming that the Work From Home singers 'wear next to nothing' on account of the fact 'sex sells', the 35-year-old came in for a barrage of criticism from fans of the US girl band.
And now Instagram is fairly sure that Sarah's former band mate, Nicola Roberts, has shaded the Celebrity Big Brother contestant in a recent social media post.
Sporting a cap emblazoned with the caption 'Women in Music Are Dangerously Underestimated', Nicola added her own message, writing: "And that's why we have to support each other."
Nicola's timing with her post provided her followers with ample opportunity to suggest that the 31-year-old was aiming her message at her former bandmate.
"Good for you Nicola for being against slut shaming unlike Sarah who slut shamed on TV," wrote one of Nicola's followers.
"Yes women empowerment," added another. "No slut shaming here."
However, not everyone is impressed by Nicola's post, with some fans of the singer berating her for not showing Sarah more support during her stint on the controversial reality show.
"This is insensitive, you should be supporting Sarah," wrote one while another added: "No support for Sarah.. Good call NOT… Team Sarah."
We wonder if Cheryl will throw her a like…

I just wanted to let you guys know that the lip balm sample you're currently offering (SAM-172) is absolutely amazing! I've been having spontaneously really dry and sensitive lips every few months where it is so painful just to open my mouth or eat (the cause is yet to be determined) but this lip balm calms down the irritation and moisturizes my lips and helps so much! It feels like silk on my lips and the dark chocolate "flavoring" is so delicious smelling. Pretty please make this a finalized product for purchase, I'll buy so many! - Rachel R.
I just wanted to let you know I'm really enjoying your new lip balm. I was on the fence about ordering because sometimes balm with a lot of oils actually make my lips peel. Sounds odd, but it's almost like they bake/burn on my lips in the sun.
I went through an odd spell when it got warm here, when nothing was helping my lips. It was extra windy too making it all the worse. I gave this a try and am so glad I did. I've really only needed it twice a day and my lips are healed. I'm outside all day in the sun/wind and I'm fine:) - Jen D.

Managed mental health; finding coverage that fits
Deborah W. Garnick
The rapid growth in managed mental health care–as of January 1995, the journal Health Affairs reports, there were 108 million enrollees–makes it increasingly difficult to find the plan best suited to a particular population. The task can be particularly daunting for small and mid-sized companies. Vendors that readily fine-tune their services to accommodate major employers may be unwilling to do the same for smaller firms.
No matter what the size of a company, though, aligning employees’ mental health needs and provider services is crucial, both from a quality and cost perspective. While only 5 to 7 percent of enrollees typically use behavioral health services in any given year, the length and intensity of treatment may push claims costs far out of proportion. Identifying employee and dependent needs and knowing what to ask about the way a mental health/substance abuse (MHSA) plan is structured, staffed and managed are the keys to making a match.
Understand the Choices
Managed mental health plans typically fall into one of three categories: integrated HMOs, carveouts or hybrids. All rely on similar cost-containment techniques, such as preauthorization of treatment, utilization review and emphasis on lower-cost treatment modes and settings. Structurally, each one is quite different.
* Integrated HMOs cover medical care and MHSA services within the same network of providers. Using primary care gatekeepers, one organization controls expenditures, assumes risk, manages member services and oversees costs, although the HMO may have a subcontractor manage its behavioral health services.
* Carveouts keep behavioral health entirely separate from the basic managed care plan. Treatment, reviews and case management are performed by mental health clinicians who work for or contract with the vendor, which often assumes some financial risk.
* Hybrids, often offered by group practices, combine features of integrated plans and carveouts. Patients with complex or severe mental disorders are referred to outside providers; providers in the network handle the others.
Proponents of integrated programs argue that many MHSA patients have related medical problems–certain types of cancer are associated with severe depression, for example–that are easily overlooked or improperly diagnosed by someone with training exclusively in the mental health field. Those who favor specialization counter with evidence that primary care physicians often fail to detect behavioral disorders like depression or alcoholism. They point out, too, that primary care settings rarely have the resources to provide the range of services that patients with serious or chronic mental disorders may need.
Identify Prombles and Patterns
Analyzing several years’ worth of mental health and substance abuse claims with an eye toward conditions and costs is the first step in selecting both the best type of plan and the specific services to be offered. In most cases, a pattern will emerge. Several typical company profiles, all of them hypothetical, follow:
* A chain of auto supply stores finds that only about 3 percent of those it covers submitted claims for mental health but that most of those claims involved a dual diagnosis of substance abuse and depression. That would make the cost of paying out-of-network fees on a case-by-case basis prohibitive. Better alternatives: a carveout that provides specialized case management services or an integrated plan in an HMO that offers case management and experienced mental health providers either on staff or by referral.
* A software development company staffed by highly educated, specially trained people, on the other hand, tallies 10 percent of its claims costs in outpatient psychotherapy. If staff retention were the employer’s top priority, a vendor with a wide network of inpatient and outpatient services and a liberal clinical philosophy would be a better choice than a tightly managed integrated plan.
* A manufacturing firm’s study reveals high absenteeism and industrial accident rates–and the likelihood of numerous cases of untreated addiction. A carveout that includes a high-quality employee assistance plan, providers with expertise in treating substance abuse and management training in detection and intervention would be ideal.
Get answers to key questions
Finding the right mental health coverage, of course, involves far more than choosing the type of plan. Probing questions about the structure, staffing and management system used by each of the vendors under consideration should be part of the selection process. Visiting the headquarters of serious contenders is likely to reveal a lot about how people are dealt with and day-to-day activities are carried out.
To help employers or third-party administrators investigate prospective managed behavioral health plans, we have identified six key issues: the integration, or lack of it, between mental health and medical services; how a patient gains entry into the system; how special populations, such as chronic users of mental health services, are managed; how providers are selected, trained and monitored; the basis for utilization management and clinical decision-making; and the level of accountability to the employer. To get you started, we’ve provided some sample questions and answers for each:
1) Integration: “We offer a carveout of mental health and substance abuse services, but we are willing to work with medical providers.” That’s the typical answer to a standard question about integration. But it’s not enough. To find out the actual level of integration, press for specifics.
Are all patients with behavioral problems referred to the MHSA provider network or are some treated by medical generalists, for instance? What’s the basis for these decisions and who makes them? It should be someone with a background in mental health, not a clerk with a set of guidelines.
What percentage of the monthly capitation fee is allocated to behavioral health? (It should be about 5 percent.) Ask about the range of fee schedules or the salaries that mental health providers receive. Although payment will depend on credentials and the experience of the individual provider and reflect regional differences, ask for evidence that it’s high enough to attract experienced, accomplished practitioners. Find out if the plan offers providers financial incentives for limiting treatment, a common criticism of managed care.
Inquire, too, into how quality is assured, the length of the contract between vendor and provider and whether the relationship between the MCO and the behavioral services vendor is subject to performance standards and periodic review. If the carveout firm was recently chosen, delve into the selection process and what was done to smooth patients’ transition to a new set of providers. Allowing three months’ grace period for outpatient care and delaying inpatients’ change of providers until after discharge, for instance, indicate regard for the well-being of patients.
Finally, consider how the level of integration will affect your own operation. Although carveouts may provide more services than integrated plans, they can also mean more complex administrative functions and higher administrative costs. Some employers opt for integrated mental health services with a medical plan that offers one-stop shopping instead.
2) Access: The way in which patients can enter the mental health system strongly influences the number and type of users. Is self-referral permitted, for instance? Does the plan feature an EAP for employees, and is there a hot line or 800 number readily available? Plans that require a primary care provider to identify the problem and make the referral may make it difficult for some enrollees to get treatment they feel they need. Similarly, if emergency hospitalization for a substance abuse or mental health crisis is the only way to gain quick access to the system, fewer patients–and most of them seriously ill–are likely to get continuing treatment.
Question a plan’s basic operation to determine whether other barriers to care exist. If therapists, especially MDs, must phone for permission to admit a patient to a hospital, for example, are telephones answered within five rings? Is voice mail available as a back-up, and if so, how long does it typically take for a return call? People should be available to answer the phones at the times doctors are likely to call, often in the early morning. And, if initial interactions between therapists and nurse reviewers often lead to further review by physicians, there should be an electronic record transfer system to assure prompt and informed decision making.
Finally, review providers’ schedules. Do they have ample evening and weekend office hours to allow employees to get outpatient therapy without disrupting their workday?
3) Special needs: Coordination between medical and mental health providers is a must for enrollees with chronic or severe mental illness, including children or young adults with anorexia or other serious disorders and patients with dual diagnoses. If you’re concerned about a special population, look for a plan with protocols drawn from the appropriate professional society, such as the American Academy of Child Psychiatry. Does the plan employ–or contract with–specialists in eating disorders and addiction, for example, or rely primarily on programs with a 12-step self-help orientation? A plan capable of caring adequately for patients with severe or chronic psychiatric conditions should have links with an array of clinical services, from home care to short-term crisis care (often referred to as 23-hour crisis beds) to specialized inpatient treatment.
4) Providers: Any behavioral health plan is only as good as the people who deliver patient care, so question the backgrounds of primary care physicians and specialists who treat MHSA patients. If you’re considering an integrated or hybrid plan, make sure the primary care physicians have had additional training in mental health.
Does the plan have a mix of specialists, including board-certified psychiatrists, PhD-level psychologists and licensed masters’-level social workers? If so, what determines which patients are referred to which level of provider and type of treatment?
Find out, too, who performs initial assessments and where and how they take place. Generally, clinical specialists who are skilled evaluators talk to patients by phone and follow up with an immediate in-person assessment in the event of a crisis. Registered nurses or board-certified doctors with specialized behavioral training are better equipped than other practitioners to ask relevant questions, investigate treatment alternatives and get approval of proposed treatment plans.
5) Management: The way a plan manages costs and utilization also affects the treatment employees and dependents receive.
Some plans require the patient or provider to get preauthorization from a clinical review professional prior to admission to a hospital or, increasingly, other intensive mental health treatment such as outpatient rehabilitation for a substance abuser. If a plan you’re considering uses this pre-admission certification method, find out if post-admission review, which typically must occur within 24 hours of an emergency admission, is acceptable in a crisis.
Once a patient is hospitalized, plans require concurrent review, with the frequency depending on the clinical findings and the proposed treatment and discharge plan, to authorize a continuing stay. Outpatient review is commonly required before a plan approves more than five to seven therapy sessions as well. Here, too, the frequency of review depends on the diagnosis as well as on the policy of the MCO.
Ask whether the plan uses case managers, who typically serve as patient advocates and coordinate cost-effective care and support services for patients with complex, lengthy or expensive chronic illnesses. Some plans use what they call access managers–they’re usually primary care physicians in integrated plans and behavioral health nurses in carveouts–as patients’ initial point of contact with the system. Like case managers, they match patients with providers or programs geared to their particular needs. Carveout plans often use access managers as gatekeepers who evaluate all treatment plans, discuss treatment options and make referrals to the appropriate network provider.
Managed MHSA plans, like other types of managed care, rely on clinical guidelines to determine whether treatment is justified and what level of care to provide. But selecting guidelines is more complicated than for medical care because there are so many behavioral treatment alternatives. Before you contract with a plan, ask which guidelines provide the underpinnings for clinicians’ decisions and whether the guidelines are fully disclosed. They should be based on published literature, consensus by expert panels, professional societies or government sources such as AHCPR’s clinical practice guidelines for treating depression, or norms established for a group with a profile similar to yours.
6) Accountability: Does the plan provide clients with periodic reports on how it measures up to its advertised service standards, such as time to answer the phone and its grievance and appeal resolution rates? What about outcomes measures such as employee satisfaction, symptom improvement or hospital re-admissions? If not, it should. Will it provide periodic reports showing initial levels of use and costs and subsequent changes in substance abuse, mental health and total claims submitted by those your company covers? (HMOs may not have such data readily available unless they contract with a behavioral health vendor.) If the cost is prohibitive, consider teaming up with other mid-sized or small companies with similar profiles to order–and share the price of–reports tracking usage patterns.
Be aware, however, that even the best reports do not always reveal the true costs and benefits of care. For example, people treated for substance abuse frequently receive significantly more mental health care than other patients because of other disorders that complicate the addiction problem. Or their claims may be incorrectly coded as mental health rather than substance abuse diagnoses.
With so many players in the behavioral health field, prudent buyers have little hard data or research to count on. An informed analysis of the needs of a particular population, an understanding of the types of plans on the market and an in-depth exploration of the key issues influencing the quality and the cost-effectiveness of managed mental health and substance abuse plans can lead to the right decision.

July brought Rosalie’s visit to an end, and once more Tinkletown basked in her smiles and yet wondered why they were so sad and wistful. She and Bonner were much nearer, far dearer to one another than ever, and yet not one effort had been made to bridge the chasm of silence concerning the thing that lay uppermost in their minds. She only knew that Anderson Crow had not “run down” his clew, nor had the New York sleuth reported for weeks. Undoubtedly, the latter had given up the search, for the last heard of him was when he left for Europe with his wife for a pleasure trip of unknown duration. It looked so dark and hopeless to her, all of it. Had Bonner pressed his demands upon her at the end of the visit in Boston, it is possible—more than possible—that she would have faltered in her resolution. After all, why should she deprive herself of happiness if it was held out to her with the promise that it should never end?
The summer turned steaming hot in the lowlands about Tinkletown, but in the great hills across the river the air was cool, bright, and invigorating. People began to hurry to their country homes from the distant cities. Before the month was old, a score or more of beautiful places were opened and filled with the sons and daughters of the rich. Lazily they drifted and drove and walked through the wonderful hills, famed throughout the world, and lazily they wondered why the rest of the world lived. In the hills now were the Randalls, the Farnsworths, the Brackens, the Brewsters, the Van Wagenens, the Rolfes and a host of others. Tinkletown saw them occasionally as they came jaunting by in their traps and brakes and automobiles—but it is extremely doubtful if they saw Tinkletown in passing.
Anderson Crow swelled and blossomed in the radiance of his own importance. In his old age he was becoming fastidious. Only in the privacy of his own back yard did he go without the black alpaca coat; he was beginning to despise the other days, when he had gone coatless from dawn till dark, on the street or off. His badges were pinned neatly to his lapel and not to his suspenders, as in the days of yore. His dignity was the same, but the old sense of irritation was very much modified. In these new days he was considerate—and patronising. Was he not one of the wealthiest men in town—with his six thousand dollars laid by? Was he not its most honoured citizen, not excepting the mayor and selectmen? Was he not, above all, a close friend of the Bonners?
The Bonners were to spend August in the Congressman’s home across the big river. This fact alone was enough to stir the Crow establishment to its most infinitesimal roots. Rosalie was to be one of the guests at the house party, but her foster-sisters were not the kind to be envious. They revelled with her in the preparations for that new season of delight.
With the coming of the Bonners, Anderson once more revived his resolution to unravel the mystery attending Rosalie’s birth. For some months this ambition had lain dormant, but now, with the approach of the man she loved, the old marshal’s devotion took fire and he swore daily that the mystery should be cleared “whether it wanted to be or not.”

Property owners have 45 days to sue a town that is trying to take their property for redevelopment as long as the town has given them proper notice of their intentions, a state appeals court said today.
The three-judge panel said if a town has given the property owner a clear warning, the property owner has to sue within 45 days or risk losing the opportunity to do so in the future.
The judges ruled on four separate cases stemming from the Harrison planning board's decision in 1997 to declare a portion of the town south of Route 280 as blighted and designate it an "area in need of redevelopment" by Hoboken-based Harrison Commons Inc.
A year later, the Harrison council adopted the planning board's redevelopment recommendation. Property owners had only 45 days to challenge the blight designation, but the town did not identify any specific properties it intended to take through eminent domain. Another six years passed before property owners were notified the town planned to condemn their properties. By then, the 45-day period to take legal action had long passed.
Attorneys for four present and past property owners argued the state's redevelopment law does not give property owners enough time to challenge a town's plans to take their property. They said the owners may not know their property is actually targeted for condemnation until years after the 45-day deadline for legal action has expired.

With vaccines being rolled out across the country, it has become a question on all Canadians’ minds if employers can enforce the mandatory vaccination of their employees.
Howard Levitt spoke to CTV News on January 1, 2020 about the news concerning mandatory vaccines in the workplace.
Rights of Employers
Currently, employers who work with vulnerable populations can absolutely require their employees to take the vaccine. This may include employees in long term care homes and hospitals.
When the vaccine becomes more readily available and public health officials declare they highly recommend obtaining the vaccine, the Courts will likely follow suit and allow employers to require the vaccine for most employees.
This can very well be a term of the employment contract, and if not followed, can become a ground of dismissal.
A mandatory vaccine for employees will also become the new selling point for most businesses.
For example, individuals will be more comfortable enrolling in a long-term care home that mandates the vaccine for all its workers, as opposed to one that will not. The same will be applicable to the grocery stores individuals choose to go to. Ultimately, the public will go where they feel safe, and businesses that do not feel safe to the public, will suffer financially.
Rights of Employees
Employees alike are concerned of the possible affects of the vaccine and may not want to take it. For example, some employees will have allergies and be amongst the population of people who have been recommended not to take the vaccine.
If the vaccine becomes a term of an individual’s employment contract, the only exception for the employee will be an accommodation under the Human Rights legislation of the specific province.
If an employee is afraid of having a minor reaction from the vaccine, that will probably not be enough to be exempt or initiate the employer’s duty to accommodate. On the other hand, if an employee has a disability that can be medically proven, then that will be an exemption.
How the Vaccine Will Change the Workplace
There will be dramatic effects on the workplace.
To begin, most employers are not happy with their employees working from home. Those employers may very well be the first to make the vaccine mandatory and require their employees to return to the physical office.
Employees, who have adjusted to a work at home setting and find themselves more productive at home, will rebel against a mandatory vaccine and a return to work.
This will create the inevitable “tug of war” between employers and employees.
As far as the law is concerned, the law is in favour of the employer who can mandate the vaccine once public health says it is recommended. At that point, there will be more data to reveal the concerned side effects of the vaccine.
