About Us
At Kids Therapy, we care about helping kids. We understand that children with neuromotor and developmental disorders have differing treatment needs. Accordingly, we have licensed therapists with specialized training and experience in treating each of those types of disorders. Our teams of speech-language pathologists, occupational therapists and physical therapists are dedicated to helping children reach their highest potential for a happy, productive life.
We achieve our clinical goals of improving communication, sensory integration, feeding and motor skills through progressive and meaningful treatment methods, delivered in a safe, comfortable environment.
Focused on Family
We believe family is the most important part of any child's life, and that family members are an essential part of the therapy team. It's our priority that all parents and caregivers know and understand the plan of treatment for their children. We take the time to answer all questions and guide you through the process of strengthening and developing your child's skills.
Parents' input and knowledge about their child is of great value, and their participation in the clinical process is encouraged. We understand that working closely with families makes a critical difference in each child's progress. We also support families and the child through good communication with the school and other professionals in the child's life.
Get Your Child the Help They Need
Kids Therapy, Ltd. has two convenient clinic locations in Libertyville and Lake Barrington. We try our best to support families by offering times that fit into their schedule and by offering back-to-back treatment times for children who receive more than one type of therapy. We put the needs of your child first.
Our practice is also an established in-network provider with most major insurance companies. Our billing department works with insurance companies to advocate for appropriate and timely reimbursement. We're happy to answer any questions you may have about billing and insurance.
For more information, please feel free to contact Kids Therapy, Ltd. Call 847-573-9486 for Libertyville or 847-842-0597 for Lake Barrington if you have any concerns about your child's development. We're here for both of you.
How do most families pay for speech, occupational or physical therapy for their child?
A very high percentage of the families that we work with have at least some coverage for pediatric therapy through their health insurance plans. For those families that do not have coverage through their health insurance, we offer out-of-pocket rates and payment plans to help make pediatric therapy accessible.
Does Kids Therapy accept my health insurance?
Our philosophy at Kids Therapy is to make our practice accessible to as many children who need our services as possible. Accordingly, we are an in-network provider with most major insurance plans. We file claims directly with insurance companies and have an experienced billing department available to help deal with the issues sometime encountered with health insurance claims.
Do parents stay in the therapy room for therapy sessions?
Parents are always welcome and encouraged to be present in the therapy room, but it is not required. We let each parent work that out with their therapist on a case-by-case basis. Our interest is always in doing whatever is best for the child and for a productive therapy session.
If my child is not feeling well, should I still bring him or her to the clinic for a therapy session?
We have a defined health policy that is given to all of our parents that specifically gives guidelines for when a child should stay home.
Can Kids Therapy provide services through the State of Illinois Early Intervention System?
Yes, most of our therapists at Kids Therapy are enrolled as providers in the State of Illinois Early Intervention System.
Does Kids Therapy offer group therapy sessions?
We do offer year-around group therapy sessions at local gymnastics academies. We also offer group therapy sessions year-around at our clinic locations that center on social skills and feeding issues. Additionally, we typically expand our group therapy offerings during the summer months.
Do I need a prescription from my child's doctor for them to receive speech, occupational or physical therapy?
Yes, state regulations require that a prescription be in place for a child to receive pediatric therapy. Additionally, insurance companies will very frequently ask for a copy of the prescription to process claims, so it is important to have a prescription in place prior to your child's first date of service.

The history of Stonehenge is shrouded in mystery and the theories to the site's origins and purpose are as numerous as they are fanciful. Many are convinced it was built by aliens! Here are 5 hard facts about the world's most famous prehistoric monument.
Stonehenge was built in several stages. Radiocarbon dating estimates that the first constructions occurred over 5000 years ago, several centuries before the Pyramids.
Many functions have been attributed to Stonehenge. One that's been confirmed is its use as a prehistoric burial ground – discovered cremated remains date back as far as 3000 B.C.
Despite its age, the fact that Stonehenge is aligned with the trajectory of the setting and rising sun gives evidence to a very advanced understanding of mathematics and geometry.
The larger stones are up to 9 meters tall and weigh around 20 tons. These were transported over 20 miles. The smaller stones, weighing 3 to 4 tons, were transported over 150 miles!
After researching the site in the late 19th century, Charles Darwin concluded that earthworms were the main reason why the Stonehenge stones have sunk into the ground.
To make the most of your time at Stonehenge and learn all about the history and the many theories surrounding the site, make sure to grab one of the audio guides, which are available for free on site. Or even better, to avoid queuing for the audio guide, you can download it for free online and listen to it on your own portable music device.
About 13 kilometers from Stonehenge is Salisbury, a picturesque medieval city with a gorgeous cathedral. Once you've come all this way, it's worth adding a couple of hours to your trip and explore this lovely historic gem.
Stonehenge is a magnificent sight at any time of day, but at sunset it's quite simply magical. If you can time your visit accordingly, you won't regret it. Note that you won't be alone – Stonehenge is very popular at sunset. If a leisurly visit is more important to you, then your best bet is arriving early. The site opens to visitors at 9:30am all year except from June through August, when it opens at 9:00am.
It was great trip, very well managed - timing was carefully balanced, so you will havs just enough time to enjoy everything. Stonehenge is a must. Windsor is breathtaking. Oxford was fine as well, not that interesting though. Our guide, Vaughn, was amazing - very well prepared, proving us with interesting information in a funny way, leading the whole trip smoothly. Greetings to the driver Tony for providing us safe and comfortable drive. Overall, I strongly recommend.
Obviously because of the Covid-19 we arrived and told you had to pre-book which I found extreme frustrating having travelled many miles to visit Stonehenge. Fortunately we had decided to visit early on our holiday and were able to book online that night for the following day. It is some 40 years since I last went to Stonehenge and how has it changed. Now there is a wealth of information with guides who are only to happy to answer any questions.
Absolutely enjoyed the walk on a beautiful September day, to the stones from the centre. People were eating picnics and having fun by the stones. Very joyful lots of energy at the stones. After got the bus back to the restaurant and had a nice cool drink. Lovely day out.
Excellent experience, seeing it in pictures and on TV cannot provide the awesome feeling when actually there. Shame you cannot actually touch the stones though. Quite a walk from the entrance to the actual stones but buses are provided.
Obviously it is now out of season, but there was loads of parking. One had the chance to walk to the site, but there were frequent bases laid on as part of the entry ticket. Beautiful area. Loads of explanation and museum very good.

Trump's Rollback of Fuel Economy Standards Could Cost Americans $460 Billion: Consumer Reports
By Jessica Corbett
A new analysis from the nonprofit advocacy group Consumer Reports warns that American drivers could lose about $460 billion dollars in fuel savings if the Trump administration implements its proposal to gut federal fuel economy and greenhouse gas emissions standards for passenger cars and light-duty trucks.

23 Governors Join California in Opposing Trump's Fuel Efficiency Freeze
Governors from 24 states, including two republicans and four states won by Trump in 2016, are standing together to ask President Trump to put the brakes on his plan to weaken the federal clean car rules, the New York Times reported.

4 Reasons the EPA Needs to Raise Fuel Economy Standards and How You Can Help
Thousands of Americans are speaking up to tell the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to raise the bar and set a higher standard for cleaner and more fuel-efficient cars in the U.S. Will you join them?
Before 2007, U.S. fuel economy standards for passenger vehicles hadn't changed all that much for more than two decades.
Because these standards play a big part in pushing automakers to innovate and make their vehicles more efficient, the net effect was that even as technology was improving by leaps and bounds, the average car rolling off the lot in 2005 still got pretty much the same miles per gallon (mpg) as the average car in 1975.
During that time, Americans also started driving more and buying more gas-guzzling SUVs, which meant a lot more carbon pollution going into the atmosphere, driving climate change.
A lot of good has been done in the more than a decade since, but we now have an opportunity to make things even better.
Until Sept. 26, Americans have the chance to speak up and demand stronger fuel economy standards, ensuring the cars of tomorrow are cleaner, greener and more efficient than ever.
Before we explain what you can do to show your continued support for solving the climate crisis, let's take a quick look at how we got here.
It all starts in 2007, when Congress passed a bill raising fuel economy standards for cars, light trucks and SUVs to an average of 35 mpg by 2020. The bill directed the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) to come up with the details on achieving that standard.
In 2009, the Obama administration stepped up the game—the U.S. EPA and the NHTSA established an aggressive national program for fuel economy standards in two phases. Phase I covered 2012-2016, at which point new cars had to meet a standard of 34.1 mpg and Phase II covers 2017-2025 and advances the standard to 54.5 mpg. And due to a court case and agency findings, the EPA was also empowered to set limits on greenhouse gas emissions from vehicles.
Since these new standards cover a time period twice as long as Phase I, the EPA made a commitment to conduct a midterm review to determine whether the standards should be strengthened, maintained or weakened for car model years 2022-2025.
As part of the review, the EPA is asking Americans to have their say on this next generation of fuel economy standards.
Here are four important things to know about the standards under review:
1. High Fuel Efficiency Standards Save You Money at the Pump
Transportation is the second-highest expense for most American households—right after housing itself. These stronger standards are projected to save Americans $1.7 trillion in fuel costs by 2025. It's no secret why: with cars using less gas, Americans will buy less gas to get around.
Talking about these savings in such a large-scale way might seem abstract. Americans overall will save a tremendous amount of cash and you might think, "That's great and all, but what does it mean for my family, specifically?"
Well, broken down, the stronger standards are projected to save families who buy a car in 2025 an estimated $8,200 over the lifetime of each new vehicle, relative to the model year 2010 standard. Just imagine what you'd do with the extra cash.
2. Americans Want More Fuel-Efficient Cars—and They Want the Government to Play a Role
A 2016 survey by the Consumer Reports National Research Center found that 84 percent of Americans believe car makers should keep improving the efficiency of their vehicles. What's more, 70 percent believe the government should keep raising the bar with higher fuel economy standards.
More than half of Americans now expect their next car to be even more efficient than their current ride.
The benefits of improved fuel efficiency standards for the planet and bank accounts across the country are so apparent that just about everyone wants to continue down the right path—and we want the government to make sure we do.
3. Cleaner Cars Reduce Carbon Pollution and Save Lives
Stronger fuel efficiency standards on vehicles through model year 2025 will prevent about 6 billion metric tons of carbon pollution from entering our atmosphere. Another way to look at that figure: it's about what the Amazon rainforest absorbs in three years. That's a lot of carbon, people!
From a climate change perspective, this is excellent news. We all know that phasing down carbon emissions is integral to meeting the global temperature increase limits set by the Paris agreement. But it's important to consider the impact these higher standards will have right now in protecting public health by reducing smog and toxic carbon air pollution.
Air pollution is the fourth-leading risk factor for premature death worldwide and, according to the World Bank, it cost the global economy about $225 billion in lost labor income in 2013 (the most recent year for which complete information was available).
And while the efficiency standards we're talking about apply to U.S. vehicles only, it is imperative for us to lead by example to improve human health worldwide. (Of course, we also do not live in a vacuum; our emissions travel the globe, compounding air pollution problems elsewhere.) We're talking about some pretty harmful stuff here. The less of it in the air, the better.
4. Increased Fuel Efficiency Helps Keep Fossil Fuels in the Ground
The standards under review require automakers' average fleet fuel economy to reach 54.5 mpg by 2025, while reducing greenhouse gas emissions to 163 grams per mile.
Improving from the current 35.5 mpg to 54.5 mpg is projected to save more than 2 million barrels of oil a day. That's more oil than the U.S. imports from any country other than its friendly neighbor to the north, Canada.
The EPA estimates that these savings will only increase as the vehicle fleet continues to turn over, with older vehicles being replaced by newer, more-efficient ones. Looking beyond 2025, if the under-review standards are maintained or (fingers crossed) strengthened, the oil savings could grow to more than 4 million barrels a day. That's almost as much as we import from all OPEC countries—combined.
But here's the thing: We can do even better and we must do better for a safe climate. The improved engines, transmissions and other materials necessary to build even more efficient vehicles than those mandated by the current standards are on-hand in factories around the world. But instead, automakers keep stalling, relying instead on outmoded, less expensive and far less efficient equipment. Which is a shame because the emissions standards program under review "can do more than any current measure to keep greenhouse gas pollution out of the atmosphere," according to a New York Times op-ed.
We've come a long way with fuel economy since 2007, but imagine what we could do if automakers were pressed further to realize the full climate-saving potential of building the most efficient vehicles their current technology allowed?
Together, we can save lives, money on gas and the planet we share from climate change, while reducing our dependence on dirty oil—all by doing something we already want. We think they call this a no-brainer.
Let's make sure the EPA gets the message and demand higher fuel-economy standards. Comments close Sept. 26.

ACTION: Last Day to Tell President Obama to Move Forward with Clean Car Standards
Union of Concerned Scientists
With the help of our supporters, the Union of Concerned Scientists (UCS) has long led the fight to break our dangerous oil dependence and address global warming by strengthening fuel efficiency and pollution standards for cars and trucks. We stand on the verge of historic progress with the Obama administration's recently proposed fuel efficiency and global warming emissions standards for vehicles sold between 2017 and 2025. These standards would save consumers billions of dollars at the gas pump, prevent millions of tons of global warming emissions, and save as much oil in 2030 alone as we currently import from Saudi Arabia and Iraq.
Automakers have the technology to make all new cars, trucks and SUVs cleaner. But just as opportunity knocks, automakers and their allies are working behind the scenes to weaken the standards with loopholes that could increase pollution and oil dependence.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Department of Transportation (DOT) are currently accepting public comments on the proposed standards, and they need to hear from citizens like you, not just industry lobbyists.
Take action today and tell the Obama administration to move forward with strong clean car standards and oppose harmful industry-backed loopholes. The comment period expires on Feb. 13, 2012.

Show Obama Your Support for Increased Fuel Efficiency for Cars
Pew Charitable Trusts
Tell President Obama that you support increased fuel efficiency for cars.
This fall, President Obama proposed increased fuel efficiency standards of 54.5 miles per gallon by 2025 for new cars and light trucks. Adopting these standards will save the average consumer up to $6,600 in fuel costs over the life of a model year 2025 vehicle. A 60-day public comment period opened Dec. 1, 2011, and ends Jan. 30, 2012.
The president needs to hear from you.
Without your comment, special interests could water down this proposal. Tell President Obama to keep the standards strong so Americans can save money at the pump, our country can import less oil, and our environment can be cleaner.
Send your comments to the president now—protect the 54.5 average mpg fuel efficiency standard.
For more information, click here.
Sierra Club
The Obama administration officially proposed strengthening fuel efficiency and pollution standards Nov. 16 for passenger cars and trucks to 54.5 miles per gallon by 2025. The measure builds on a historic step taken last year to raise vehicle efficiency to 35.5 mpg in 2016 and begin reducing tailpipe carbon pollution levels. The newly proposed standards also reduce carbon emissions to 163 grams per mile in 2025.
These highly anticipated standards would result in significant savings at the pump for American families, reduce climate-threatening carbon pollution and provide Americans with better and more fuel efficient vehicle choices.
In response, Michael Brune, Sierra Club executive director, released the following statement:
"Today's proposal is a big win for American families and will prove to be a big boost for our economy. President Obama has secured a decade of progress toward breaking our dangerous addiction to oil, creating American jobs, curbing life-threatening pollution and tackling climate disruption. American families will see much-needed relief at the gas pump as the auto industry moves toward a better, more efficient generation of American cars.
"To put it in perspective, in 2030 these standards will save American families $44 billion at the gas pump, reduce our oil use by 23 billion gallons, and cut carbon pollution by an amount equal to the annual emissions from 72 coal-fired power plants—and that's all just in one year.
"Fuel efficiency and pollution standards for passenger cars and trucks are just one critical piece of the equation for ending our addiction to oil. This new standard will put American innovation and technology to work to deliver the best cars and trucks for consumers, but we must also ensure smart transportation choices such as transit, biking and walking for all Americans, and build livable cities and communities.
"As the administration moves toward finalizing these standards next summer, it is critical that they avoid loopholes and giveaways for the industry. We look forward to working with President Obama and his administration to ensure that these fuel efficiency and pollution standards deliver the strongest possible benefits to American families and workers through 2025 and beyond."

Day 1: A 30-Day Conversation – Getting Started
Noah was a righteous man, blameless among the people of his time, and he walked faithfully with God. (Genesis 6:9)
September is going to be an exciting time for our blog as we roll out a month-long series dealing with practices for a productive prayer life. We're calling the journey A 30-Day Conversation, although Your 30-Day Conversation may actually be a more fitting title. After today's post – the longest you'll read during the month – the blog will be heavily driven by you, the reader, and your personal relationship with God.
Have you ever considered just how fervently God longs for communication with his children? The thought occurred to me several years ago when I found myself in the all-too-familiar situation of asking a child, "How was school today?" and "What did you study?" The answers? "Fine," and "Nothin'," respectively.
It's a humorous, and often expected, scenario with children, but the truth is, we've all been in situations when we found ourselves desperately longing for conversation that just wasn't there. And its absence is anything but humorous. In a world that seems to spin faster and faster while schedules become fuller and fuller, our efforts to pursue – really pursue – meaningful with others dwindle further and further. It's an epidemic that too often builds walls in the most valuable and precious relationships. Between husbands and wives. Between the best of friends. Between parents and children.
As much as we humans long to keep the real lines of communication open with those we love, imagine the overwhelming desire of God the Father for meaningful conversations with His own children. Those He carefully created in His own image (e.g. Genesis 1:27). Children including you. Including me.
Consider that the Bible reflects Almighty God conversing or interacting in some relational capacity with a number of humans. For the purposes of this post, let's focus for a bit on the account of Noah and his relationship with God as reported in Genesis 6:1-8:22. God actually let this man in on a divine mission that was literally about to make the biggest splash in the history of the world in its day. He told Noah of the coming water that would destroy world gone morally awry, and how Noah and his family alone would be the soul survivors and regenerators of humanity. He even gave Noah specific instructions on how to build the ark that would allow those inside it to weather the storm. And although Scripture doesn't tell us, I wonder if God was right there encouraging Noah through every strained muscle, every hammered fingertip, every heckle from every heckler who stopped by the construction site to point and laugh. I can't say for sure, of course, but I believe He was indeed right there with him through it all.
And one of the key reasons I have reached this conclusion is tucked into our passage of focus for today: Genesis 6:9 clearly states that in addition to being a righteous and blameless man, Noah walked with God. Please go here with me for a moment. The inference from the passage and its surrounding context suggests that this walking that Noah did was both an active and ongoing activity; otherwise, the relationship would likely have lacked familiarity with the personality or character of God from Noah's standpoint. Be honest, if a stranger or brief acquaintance walked up and told you to build a three-level boat, then seal yourself inside it with your wife, kids and a pair of every living creature from the animal kingdom, would you really grab the nearest hammer and break into a chorus of Whistle While You Work?
"But God doesn't need me to build an ark," you're probably saying at this point. OK, maybe not. Maybe you haven't felt Him call you to do anything (a topic for a later post). But the bottom line is this: the one thing we can be sure of – the one plat of common ground we can all build upon in this series – is that our God is not only willing to converse with us; He relishes each and every one of those conversations. Relishes them and loves us so much, in fact, that He sacrificed His Only Son, Jesus Christ, to become human, suffer horrid abuse and die on a cross all in order to defeat death and give us the privilege (what an overwhelming privilege!) of instant access to converse and commune with Him now and forevermore (e.g. John 3:16).
In 2017, Christ-followers of any age, season or socio-economic group need just two key practices to either begin, strengthen or maintain an intimate and active walk with God akin to the walk exemplified by Noah. One of those practices the deliberate study of God's Word, which is a luxury Noah never knew. The other, deliberate and sincere prayer is also a required resource for joy-filled, holy intimacy with God through the Name of His Son.
For the next 30 days, then, I hope you'll join me on a journey toward starting, deepening – and yes – relishing the conversations between yourself and God as much as He relishes them. Each day, you'll find a new post here on the blog; you'll see a passage of Scripture, a brief thought related to the passage and two or three guiding questions to consider as you formulate your own PRAYER using the following formula. Also, consider recording in a journal or other document your PRAYER conversation each day. It will serve you well as a tool over the coming weeks.
Praise and Thanksgiving (Psalm 150:6):
In your own words, who is God to you personally? What has He done for you specifically
in the past day or so – especially the little things – that surprised you or drew you
in the past day or so – especially the little things – that surprised you or drew you
Repentance (Acts 3:19):
This one seems obvious, but consider making a deliberate commitment to go
beyond "I'm sorry" and make a sincere commitment to do your best through Christ
to lay these sins aside.
beyond "I'm sorry" and make a sincere commitment to do your best through Christ
to lay these sins aside.
Adoration (Isaiah 6:3):
Love Him. Worship Him. And don't be afraid to do so with hymns or other songs of
worship…sometimes mere words may not seem adequate to you. That's ok!
worship…sometimes mere words may not seem adequate to you. That's ok!
Yielding (1 Peter 5:6):
Is there something you need to turn over to God? A circumstance you can't control?
Complicated relationship? Your own will that's struggling with His will?
Expectation (Psalm 55:22):
What are your concerns, your hopes, your dreams for your church? Your family?
Friends? Not-so-much friends? Yourself?
Friends? Not-so-much friends? Yourself?
Restoration (Psalm 23):
End your conversation with the firm knowledge that you are God's and God is yours.
Affirm your trust in His all-powerful, never-ending presence in your life. Thank Him
again for what He's done for you in the past and what He will do for you in the future
that's in accordance with His will. This is an important and proactive demonstration of
your faith in Him.

Do you remember a time before the "smart" house craze?
Before every piece of technology was referred to as "smart" or "dumb"?
One of the very first "smart" devices to come out and make any kind of impact was the thermostat.
It didn't just allow the thermostat to be programmed. It allowed it to learn and connect to the Internet.
The smart thermostat really helped launch the new smart craze, and now just about every appliance you purchase can have a smart feature or can be controlled by a digital assistant. While some "smart" devices don't add much or improve your life drastically, smart thermostats help you save money and improve your comfort level.
You'll have to pay extra for it over a "dumb" thermostat, but in the long run, you'll save money, and you'll usher your home into the next generation.
But before you go out and pick up a smart thermostat, here's everything you need to keep in mind to ensure you get a good one (plus our top 10 favorite smart thermostats).
Of all the smart devices you can invest in, the smart thermostat will be one you use the most often (especially if you live in a location where the weather changes wildly from day to day). Any smart thermostat will give improved control over what you have now.
With that said, there are a few specifics you'll want to keep in mind when shopping around for a new smart thermostat.
1. Digital Assistant Control
Every smart thermostat worth buying will come with a programmable application for your smartphone. This way you can control the features of your home's HVAC system from your phone.
However, does pulling out your phone to adjust the temperature really save you that much time when you're already at home? If you're in a big home than yes, probably. But if you're in a smaller house you might save a second or two.
That's where the digital assistant comes in. Instead of fumbling for your phone you can call out the temperature you want to change or any other features you want to adjust. This is great if you're in the kitchen cooking or just don't have your phone on you.
With digital assistant integration, you can control your smart thermostat from Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant and Apple HomeKit. Amazon Alexa natively has more available devices available (as it shops through Amazon that makes sense although most Google controlled devices have better search features), but you shouldn't have trouble finding Google Assistant controlled equipment either. Apple HomeKit is a bit more of a struggle, as Apple lags significantly behind in the world of smart assistant integration.
If you already have a digital assistant you'll want to consider which one works with the hardware you already have. If you don't, now is a great time to invest as it will improve your control over the smart thermostat without using your hands.
2. Price
The price tag for your new smart thermostat is going to range, often drastically. You can find entry level smart thermostats beginning around the $100 mark and top of the line options pushing well over $300.
Usually, the more money you pay the additional features and custom options you'll have. This isn't always the cast, but typically you'll find you do have more control over your thermostat. More control means not only improved ease of use but the ability to save more money by adjusting the thermostat when you're not at home.
Ultimately, the main purpose of the new smart thermostat isn't just to make your life easier. It's to help you save money.
3. Interface
The interface of a smart thermostat is a helpful feature that you may not consider when first shopping for a thermostat (if this is your first smart thermostat). This is because you've never had to think of one before. There are some entry-level thermostats that work similar to what you're familiar with. Others are more touchscreen heavy and, while there might be a learning curve, are generally more user-friendly.
Ultimately the interface is up to you as what works for you may not work for the next person. However, you should feel comfortable and fully confident in using the device. We recommend at least looking at how the interface functions on the product listing. If possible, stop by your local home improvement store to fiddle with it as well (chances are you'll find it for a better price through Amazon, but at least you can get some valuable hands-on experience to see whether you how it works).
We really came down to the Nest and the ecobee4 for the top smart thermostat to go with. Each of the devices is excellent, built to last, look great and use exceptional applications. However, right out of the box and ready to go we decided to go with the ecobee4. While you can't go wrong with the Nest and there will be those who like that design and look better, we found the user interface on the ecobee4 to be comprehensive and yet super easy to use. The device has apps for not just tablets and smartphones, but also for smartwatches as well.
Some of the highlights for the ecobee4 include:
The Emerson Sensi Wi-Fi Thermostat is a great entry into the world of smart thermostats. If you're looking for a thermostat that has more of a classic programmable feel but with smart features, this is the way to go.
It also has a price point that's next to impossible to beat. Amazon lists it as an official "Amazon's Choice" thermostat because of the combination of features and price point.
The Emerson Sensi Wi-Fi Thermostat works with all digital assistants as well. So whether you have Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant or Apple's HomeKit, you will have instant voice control. If you don't have a digital assistant this makes a good opportunity to invest in one. Both Google and Amazon have digital assistant speakers that are often on sale for less than $30.
The Energy Star certified thermostat states you'll cut around 23 percent off of your home's energy bill and it's possible to install the system in around 30 minutes. There is a step-by-step instructional video that walks you through the process.
You will need a common wire (c-wire) for installation. If your current HVAC thermostat does not have a c-wire there is an available Emerson Thermostat Common Wire Kit available, although you'll need to purchase this.
The Emerson Sensi Wi-Fi Thermostat does need batteries to run. It is one of the few options that does require batteries, and as it is connecting to the Wi-Fi network in your home you'll need to change the batteries a bit more frequently, but still, for the price, it's hard to beat what you get with this configuration.
If you're looking for a great looking smart thermostat that has a clean look and offers you a great entry into the world of modern thermostats this is the perfect option to take advantage of.
The thermostat is from Nest, which is one of the top manufacturers of smart thermostats and home appliances (like smoke detectors). This version is a stripped down variation of the popular Nest thermostat.
The thermostat uses a twist dial around the circular design. There isn't much in the way of flash with this thermostat, so if you want something that's bright with a brilliant touchscreen this isn't the device for you. However, it's easy to use and much of the adjustment features are performed through the application.
While this Nest thermostat can be controlled from your tablet, laptop or another smart device there is no digital assistant control, although you can gain this feature by using one of the other smart thermostats designed by Nest.
In terms of simplicity, it's hard to find anything simpler to use than this. You program it through the phone and you change the temp through the dial ring.
This is a major step up from the standard programmable thermostat. It is a touchscreen offering that offers you a larger screen so you can always see not only the temperature and humidity inside but outside as well.
There are different color backdrops so you can alter it to fit your needs as well. It might not be as vibrant as some of the other options, but when you want an easy to read thermostat, this is a great option to go with.
The Honeywell Wi-Fi Smart Color thermostat works with both Amazon Alexa and Google Home. If you currently run something other than Amazon Alexa (such as Google Home or Apple HomeKit) you should always check further with the manufacturer specifics of a smart thermostat (should you find another option other than what we recommend). Amazon doesn't always highlight the other digital assistants as it wants to highlight its own equipment.
If you currently run heat pumps with an electric baseboard of 120 to 240 volts this Honeywell Wi-Fi Smart Color thermostat will not work with it, so keep this in mind when shopping around. There are some secondary HVAC devices, such as thermal pumps, that are not always compatible.
This Honeywell Wi-Fi Smart Color thermostat does come with a number of reminders and notices that automatically appear on your smartphone, including when you need to change the air filter, if you have a humidifier pad needs replacing, or if the current temperature inside the house is reaching a dangerously high or low point.
If you currently use any other Hive smart technology this is a fantastic addition. You will need the Hive Hub to fully integrate one of the digital assistants it works with (both Google Home and Amazon Alexa). However, you can install a smart lock and doorbell along with the thermostat. This way, you only have a single hub to worry about.
If you already have the hub you won't need to purchase a second one. If you don't yet have a Hive hub you will need to purchase one. This adds to the cost of the thermostat, so if you don't have one already you'll push the cost up over $200.
The design of the Hive Smart Home Thermostat is both beautiful and sleek. There is an easy to use control knob in the middle and a glossy black display around it. The knob does protrude a good half inch out of the thermostat, so if you have a tight hallway it can stick out a bit awkwardly at times, but in general, it is a fine looking design.
The Hive Smart Home Thermostat allows you to program up to six daily heating and cooling schedules. You can also adjust these from your phone.
You do need a c-wire installed on your current system. If you don't have a c-wire you'll need to purchase an adapter (the provided installation instructions will highlight how to determine if you have a c-wire and how to perform the installation).
The on-device display is a bit limited. Most of your controlling will take place on the phone. If you're looking for a device that you can perform on-device control adjustments on this may not be the way to go.
The name says it all. The design of The Simple Thermostat is clean and simple. It doesn't have a colorful screen or fancy interface. It's clean, easy to use, and displays the information you need and nothing else.
The screen is a black digital display with white information. You can swap the black display out for a white display with black numerals, so whatever works best for you. It also comes with a c-wire kit, so if your house doesn't have this kind of a feature you won't need to purchase an adapter.
The Simple Thermostat is Energy Star certified. It also allows you to adjust the temperature with an installed application on your mobile device. The on-screen controls are a bit simplistic, so much of your HVAC control will take place on the mobile phone.
It is Alexa compatible, and you don't need batteries or a hub to use it, so it's ready to go right out of the box, no secondary devices or features required. However, the thermostat does not work with Google Assistant, so if you run Google you currently are not able to control the function.
If you're looking for a simple and clean thermostat, The Simple Thermostat is a nice place to start.
Some of the features you'll find on The Simple Thermostat include:
This is the smart thermostat that started it all. It has a beautiful display and uses premium material. The ring around the circular design is comfortable to use and feels sturdy in your hand, plus the touchscreen is easy to use.
The Nest Learning Thermostat works with both Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant, so you can voice control your thermostat. The Nest app is also one of the best applications out there.
There are a number of color designs available on the Nest. While you can adjust the display color (it also adjusts in color depending on if you're heating or cooling the home) you can opt for a different ring around the edge of the thermostat. This includes black, copper, stainless steel, and white.
The interface on the Nest gives you all the control features you might want on the device. However, you need to perform most of the selection and swiping between settings with the circular knob, so it can take longer than you might like.
The thermostat has a number of detection features. It can pick up movement around the thermostat. So not only can it learn how you like the temperature and adjust accordingly but if it detects nobody is in the home it will alter the temperature to help you save money.
There are a number of additional Nest appliances you can utilize along with the thermostat. This includes temperature readers used in different rooms of the house. This way, depending on the HVAC system you have, you can better control individual rooms.
This was the very first thermostat to receive an Energy Star certification ad it will help you cut your heating bills by up to 12 percent and your cooling bills by up to 15 percent.
The ecobee has come up to be direct competition for Nest as one of the most purchased thermostats currently available. The design is more rectangular but with curved edges, which gives it a very nice, clean look to it.
The black backdrop and digital touchscreen are also one of the best options out there. It's also the most widely accepted smart thermostat in terms of digital assistants. Not only does it worth with Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa, but Apple HomeKit and secondary services like SmartThings and Microsoft Cortana. Basically, if you have any kind of voice-activated assistant it will worth with this.
If you don't have any smart digital assistants you'll have one built in, as this comes with built-in Amazon Alexa.
The ecobee also has individual room monitors. This particular design comes with one, which sends information to the thermostat so you can more accurately control the temperature in a given room (your HVAC system needs to support this particular feature).
The application options available are also second to none. Not only can you use it on Android and native iOS devices, but there is an app for the Apple Watch.
This thermostat comes with a c-wire adapter kit so you don't need to make any secondary purchases. The only downside is this thermostat only works on a 2.4GHz Wi-Fi signal. You likely have this signal in your home, but the 5 GHz signal offers the best wireless Internet strength.
The Professional is the regular Nest on steroids. It takes all the features you love about the standard option and kicks it up a notch.
This Nest monitors your entire schedule and builds the heating and cooling around you. It can detect how the number of people inside a room affects it and adjusts the heat accordingly. It also gives you tips on how to save money, including when you should turn the HVAC up or down a degree that will end up saving you on each energy bill.
There are additional control features on top of the basic model, although the overall design is the same. The main difference is really within the programming under the hood.
The downside to this is there is no c-wire adapter, so you'll need to either pick one up or pay for a professional to come out and install the equipment for you.
The Nest smart thermostats are the highest user review rated thermostats on Amazon (although Amazon won't give these products the "Amazon Choice" title because it is owned by Google and the two companies are battling it out for smart technology supremacy). Despite being owned by Google, Nest does work with both Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa.
The ecobee3, much like the other models out by ecobee, give you some of the best design features out there. It's also probably the best smart thermostat in terms of user interface.
While not as bright and vibrant as the Nest, the control features are next to none. Each smart device it connects with via its ecobee3 app give you exceptional control features as well. You can turn a tablet at home into a control hub with all the weather and temperature information you'll need to have a comfortable home.
Ecobee says it will lower your annual energy bills by up to 23 percent and it works with both Alexa and Google Home (although it doesn't work with the same range as the ecobee4).
This is a pretty interested smart thermostat in that the control panel does not sit flush into the wall. Instead, it sits on a small shelf, as if a plate on display. And in fact, the touchscreen thermostat is a see-through display. The see-through display gives it plenty of wow factor.
Of course, if you're not careful, it is easier to break (especially if you have kids running around).
The Glas Smart Thermostat monitors indoor air quality, so if you have airborne allergies, this is an exceptional thermostat to take advantage of as it does this better than any other thermostat.
This thermostat is built natively with Microsoft Cortana, although you can use it with Alexa and Google Home.
You can also sync several of the thermostats with a single app, giving you control over different rooms or locations from a single application without needing to sign into different accounts.
The right smart thermostat for you isn't always going to be the right smart thermostat for your neighbor. Most of these devices are great, depending on what you're looking for. This was also one of our tightest editor's choice selections as well, but the ecobee4 just stands out with its features and what you get right in the box.
If you like the Nest design better, by all means, go with that. We almost went with the Nest as it's such a great design and its room monitoring functions and learning capability are top of the line. However, it's the c-wire adapter and room monitors that come with the ecobee4 that put it over the top. Plus, as it works with every single digital assistant there's everything to love and nothing to hate about this device.
What smart thermostat did you decide to go with? What tipped you in that particular direction? And what smart digital assistant are you looking to pair everything up with?
Let us know in the comments. We'd love to hear from you!

Newsworthy from our nursery
Quack, Quack. Rain Gardens.
A rain garden is a planted depression that is built into the landscape allowing rainwater runoff from a roof, driveway, sidewalk, street, or even compacted lawn areas to slow, collect, and be absorbed into the ground. When planted with perennials, grasses, and shrubs, they help conserve rainwater and filter out pollutants while reducing runoff from your property. Plus they can provide a beautiful spot for song birds, butterflies, and other critters searching for food, water, and shelter.
Whether you excavate your own rain garden site or use an existing depression or swale, several factors are important for success. First, choose plants depending on where in the rain garden they will be planted. There are 3 general zones: lowest/wettest, middle/transitional, and upper/driest. Second, it is very important to plant when there is sufficient time for roots to become well established BEFORE you expect regular rain events. Even the most expertly planted plants cannot hold on through regular gully washers!
You can get very elaborate and bring in big equipment to address your issue, or you can take advantage of natural features to handle large amounts of water. Either way, a rain garden is an effective way for you to beautify your property and provide food and shelter for wildlife while also minimizing runoff and improving water quality.
Here are some great links to help you with your project.

I can contact my IPCAM if I'm on the same WiFi, otherwise if try to contact while I'm away from home, 99% I receive an "Error in username and password" message.
You need to configure your IPCAM from WiFi to allow outside connections. You encounter that error because the IPCAM refuses connection from the outside network. Even if you use a correct name and password, the error will always be the same in case the connection is successful. Access the IPCAM from WIFI, configure it to allow external access and then you will be able to connect it.

When my son left for University.
When my son left for University.
by Jeannette Heywood17 Feb 2017
He's flown the nest at his behest.
Another test to curb my rest.
University does beckon.
On his potential I do reckon.
Proud to see him grasp his independence.
Can't help but feel a touch of dissonance.
All rites of passage are both bitter and sweet.
Still, on many paths ahead, my son and I shall meet.
Godspeed my playmate, sonshine and joy.
Those adventures are yours now, we read mum and boy.
I am proud of the man that my eyes now rest upon.
Yet, I still see the boy shadowed within my son.
Go forward, go onwards, embrace all life brings.
I'll be watching, supporting, with outstretched wings.

ALBANY, Ga. (WALB) - Verdicts were handed down for five of the eight men indicted in the 2017 death of a man at an Albany nightclub.
Dominque Davis was found guilty of felony murder, aggravated assault and possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony.
Daquan Moore and James Byrd were found guilty of aggravated assault, and not guilty on felony murder and possession of firearm during the commission of a felony.
Derrick Jenkins was found guilty of aggravated assault and possession of firearm during the commission of a felony and not guilty of felony murder.
Stacy Frazier was found not guilty on all three counts and will be released from the Dougherty County Jail.
All of the other men will remain in custody.
Davis remained in the courtroom as jurors heard his count 5 charge for possession of a firearm by a convicted felon in a 2006 armed robbery case. The jury returned a guilty verdict for count 5. Davis' attorney told WALB that he had requested to also hear his sentence Friday for all of his charges. However, when the judge asked if he still wanted to be sentenced Friday, Davis said no. He will now be sentenced at a later date.
The jury began deliberating Friday afternoon. They deliberated the charges against all five men at the same time, but jurors must look at each defendant separately, not as a group.
Jurors deliberated on three counts: Count 1 for felony murder, Count 2 for aggravated assault and Count 3 for possession of firearm during commission of felony.
Judge Willie Lockette redacted Count 4 from the indictment. Lockette also redacted Count 5, (possession of a firearm by a convicted felon) against Davis to be heard in another trial.
Closing arguments ended at 2:30 p.m.
Potential Maximum Sentences (depending on outcome of future hearings)
Count 1: Felony Murder-life without parole (Dominque Davis)
Count 2: Aggravated Assault-20 years (Dominque Davis, Daquan Moore, James Byrd, Derrick Jenkins)
Count 3: Possession of a firearm during commission of a felony- 5 years (Dominque Davis, Derrick Jenkins)
Count 5: Possession of Firearm by Convicted Felon- additional 5 years (Dominque Davis)
Sentence hearings will be held at a later date. For Davis, the family of Travion Jones will give victim statements before his sentence is read.
District attorney Greg Edwards said they are still pushing for a violation of street gang terrorism and prevention act charge for the remaining defendants not on this trial. Edwards said they intend to revisit this charge by presenting more evidence since it was withdrawn from this trial.
However, none of the men in this week's trial will be prosecuted for this charge. It was dismissed entirely.
At 9:10 a.m., the state rested its case. The defense rested at 9:49 a.m., and jurors were sent out.
All five defendants decided not to testify and the prosecutors will not present additional evidence.
All of the defense attorneys called for motions to a number of charges for each defendant.
Each attorney spoke about the charges and why they should be dismissed. Each count was argued. Mark Phillips, Davis' attorney, argued to dismiss the violation of street gang violation charge, but didn't touch on the other charges much.
During the discussion of charges, all attorneys, except Phillips, said the state did not present enough for Counts 1, 2 and 3. Count 1 is felony murder; Count 2 is aggravated assault and Count 3 is possession of a firearm during commission of a felony.
However, in closing arguments, Phillips said Davis didn't murder Jones, and asked jurors to hold prosecutors accountable in proven if he committed the crime.
The defense also argued Cortez Houlton, the primary witness, pointed out most of the defendants on video but claimed the video doesn't actually prove they had a weapon, shot Jones or the assault.
Prosecutors said if there was one credible witness, that's enough. The primary witness provided very credible facts, prosecutors said.
Each attorney also argued that there's not enough evidence for Count 4, which is a violation of the Street Gang Terrorism and Prevention Act.
WALB's Asia Wilson is covering the trial and will provide updates as the case progresses.

Medoka's years of experience in vaccine distribution is the foundation of a drug distribution system which meets even the most meticulous of conditions. This was confirmed by the recently won tender to provide storage and distribution services for Croatia's national health program of mandatory vaccination and the program of mandatory immunization, seroprophylaxis and chemoprophylaxis for specific segments of the population and individuals at increased risk for the year 2015.
Although any form of distribution is a labor of great responsibility, maintaining the cold chain and in depth knowledge of all procedures included in sustaining of the cold chain make Medoka a reliable partner for any and all drug and medicinal product distribution. This is especially true for all temperature-sensitive drugs and medicinal products.
The distribution of temperature-sensitive drugs is carried out with vehicles equipped for temperature manipulation and monitoring. Each vehicle can print out temperature data pertaining to individual deliveries, from loading to unloading. If the goods are not transported in such vehicles, they are transported in certified containers containing temperature indicators. Short distance deliveries can be made using simpler, adequate transportation coolers.
Fulfillment of all conditions of good distribution practice was verified by obtaining the Certificate of conducting good practice in drug wholesale (GDP certificate), the License for drug wholesale and the License for medicinal product wholesale (all documents are available upon request).

A recent EPA nationwide webinar, What Schools Need to Know: Practices and Principles for Healthy IAQ and Reducing the Spread of Viruses, focused on indoor air quality in school settings. Air quality was important before the current pandemic but is now central to the back-to-school issue. For today's post we'd like to share some EPA and NYS Department of Environmental Conservation resources. Some highlights: airborne disease is not the only issue. Proper surface cleaning and air filtering must be addressed. Products used to kill virus organisms are not just 'disinfectants', but pesticides, so their labeled directions must be followed. School buildings across the country vary widely in age, size, and management budget, making indoor air quality an important subject long before SARS Covid-19.
The major takeaway from this webinar's experts? Using a combination of tactics is crucial to success.
- Social distancing helps because aerosol spread (coughing, sneezing) travels farther than you'd expect. Not only in the air, but particles linger on clothing and items.
- Masks reduce the exhalation of virus, therefore reducing what's in the air.
- Surface cleaning of high-touch areas. Under optimum conditions, SARS CoV-2 virus can last up to three days on plastic surfaces. There are plenty of surfaces in public buildings. These FOMITES (inanimate, contaminated objects capable of transfer microbes to new hosts) are high-touch areas such as desktops, door handles, faucets, and electronic devices. Always consult a trusted list of disinfecting products and read the label. How the product is applied is just as important. Foggers generally do not leave surfaces wet long enough (20 mins is optimum) to kill virus. CLEANING cloths should not be reused from site to site. Use clean, sterile cloths for cleaning so you are not moving microbes from place to place instead of destroying them. NOTE: while the CDC has a list of effective disinfectants, we recommend that you PLEASE CHOOSE from this list compiled specifically for use in New York State: https://www.dec.ny.gov/docs/materials_minerals_pdf/covid19.pdf
- Hand washing- often and done with care. Emphasize this after toilet use. (This virus also spreads through feces.)
- Air movement. This is not just the use of a fan. Fans recycle the same air around the room. Air movement must include dilution of indoor air with outdoor air as much as possible before, during, and after rooms are occupied. The addition of air filters (properly maintained) such as HEPA filters is highly suggested. HEPA means 'high efficiency particulate air' filters. Filtration reduces but can not eliminate airborne particulates.
Air quality depends on more than circulation and filtration, but on proper use of disinfectants. Improper use often induces asthma, and causes health problems. Always read the label.
We remind you that care should be taken with cleaning products used in homes and businesses, as well as schools. Fraudulent claims and risky products are out there. Visit the ABCS of School IPM blog post for more information.

On April 15, 1947, Jackie Robinson made his Major League Baseball debut. The color barrier had been broken, and the game was changed forever. By the end of 1947, Larry Doby, Hank Thompson, Willard Brown, and Dan Bankhead had all made their Major League debuts, with Roy Campanella and Satchel Paige soon to follow. Jackie Robinson's debut was a catalyst that opened doors across the league, and it's no coincidence that the popularity of America's pastime soared to new heights in the decades that followed. This new Limited Edition Clutch Baseball set honors players who made their mark in an era where the athleticism necessary to earn their spot on the field was topped only by the courage they displayed in taking it.
LE Format / Distribution
This set will feature 5 cards sold in blind packs. Each pack contains 1 version of the 5 cards featured in the set: Jackie Robinson, Bob Gibson, Ernie Banks, Satchel Paige, and the Brooklyn Field stadium card. Variant editions of each card will feature a "42" theme, and special 1/1 editions of each card have been designed with a Brooklyn-themed Baby Blue color scheme. The odds of getting each version of the player cards are as follows:
Standard: 99/142 | 42 Variant: 42/142 | Baby Blue Super Variant: 1/142
The packs will be limited to 142. The player variants are statistically identical – the difference is purely cosmetic. Packs will be completely random, so you could theoretically get 2 variants in 1 pack. The packs will cost $19.99 (you can purchase a max of 5) or are added free with any order $49.99 or more. (one free item per $50 spent in total) All regular items will qualify except black history LE cards and gift cards. Pre-orders begin on Monday 1/21 (MLK Day) and will begin shipping the following week.
Jackie Robinson (1949): In 1947, Jackie Robinson made his debut, batted .297, stole 29 bases, and won the NL Rookie of the Year award. It would have made for an excellent card. But two years later, he batted .342, stole 37 bases, and won the NL MVP award. Which makes an even better Clutch card! Incredible On-Base, maximum Speed, positive Clutch, a great chart, and five icons make Jackie Robinson a perfect player to lead off the 2019 Clutch season with.
Ernie Banks (1958): "Mr. Cub" may have taken his trademark "Let's play two!" catchphrase to heart in 1958 & 1959, because he played two back-to-back seasons in top form, winning the NL MVP award both years. For this Clutch card, '58 barely edged out '59 (during both of which he ended up leading the NL in RBI's and batting over .300) because Banks also led the NL in Homeruns that year. Making a strong case as one the best hitting Shortstops the game of Clutch baseball has seen, Ernie Banks gives this Limited Edition set a massive power boost.
Bob Gibson (1968): For sixteen years, all as a member of the St. Louis Cardinals, absolute dominance is what Bob Gibson brought to the mound. A nine-time All-Star and two-time World Series champion, Gibson won two Cy Young Awards and in 1968, he won the NL MVP award as well. The 1968 season was dubbed "The Year of the Pitcher," and Gibson was leading the powerful pack of pitchers. He set a live-era record with an ERA of just 1.12, which was also an all-time record for a season with 300+ innings pitched. Of his 34 games started that season, 28 were complete games, and 13 were shutouts. That stamina is what brings us the first 9-inning pitcher in the game of Clutch baseball — not only the most expensive Pitcher in the game at 950 pts (beating out the next closest, Maddux, by a whopping 145 pts), but the most expensive Clutch card ever produced. You'll get what you pay for though if you find a way to get Gibby into your rotation, because this card is pitching perfection.
Satchel Paige (1952): While the greatest seasons of Paige's career may have come long before his age-42 MLB debut with the Indians, and while some of his final stats lines may not fully capture the impact he made once he arrived, he was still a force to be reckoned with. Capturing his 1952 season with the St. Louis Browns, this 3-inning reliever card with strong Command and only 1 mistake roll is sure to find his way into many bullpens in 2019.
Brooklyn Field: Long-time home of the National League team now living in Los Angeles, fans at this ballpark witnessed 45 years of baseball history first-hand, including the debut of Jackie Robinson in 1947. Add a little history of your own with this new Stadium card that allows you to bring along a couple extra cards in your strategy deck to help do so, as well as being the first way to take advantage of the new Runs icon (which both of the hitters in this set have!) This will also be the first Clutch stadium card to feature numbered variants editions, so be sure to keep an eye out for those!
So there it is – the 2019 Black History Month Limited Edition set. Comment here or contact us on social media @clutchcards to let us know what you think! Are you hoping for a variant or standard limited edition player? Which two cards will you add to your Strategy deck at Brooklyn Field? Will you find a way to fit Bob Gibson into your rotation? Remember: pre-orders begin Monday, January 21st!

Outgoing council chairman urges residents to report dog fouling they witness
PUBLISHED: 17:14 23 May 2013 | UPDATED: 18:13 23 May 2013
THE outgoing chairman of East Cambridgeshire District Council is spending his last days in office on a mission to get dog owners to clean up after their pets.
Councillor Tony Parramint is particularly concerned about dog mess in Soham - the issue of dog fouling is a frequently raised in Neighbourhood Panel meetings and is rated as serious anti social behaviour creating real public health concerns.
Cllr Paramint wants residents to report any fouling they witness, and said: "As a grandparent, I am very lucky to have the opportunity to walk my grandchildren to school in the morning. It is on these short walks that I see for myself the utter selfishness of a minority of dog owners who leave their animals mess on public pavements.
"No resident in Soham should have to tiptoe around paths in our town because of a few people can't be bothered to clean up after their dogs.
"This is an issue not just for Soham but for the whole of the district as the inactions of a minority affect so many. With over 200 dog bins around East Cambridgeshire and the knowledge that bagged dog waste can also be deposited in litter bins, where there is no dog bin available, there is little excuse for anyone not to pick up their dog's waste.
Dog waste contains a number of bacteria including Campylobacter and Salmonella as well as infections caused by the roundworm Toxocara canis.
The fine for failing to pick up dog mess is a £50 fixed penalty, which can rise to £1,000 for persistent offenders.
Cllr Paramint added: "I would encourage anyone who sees dog walkers not clearing up after their pets to get in touch with the council. They should provide details of the person responsible, and where and when the fouling is happening, for them to investigate to help keep our streets clean."
To report problems with dog fouling or provide details of offenders please call on 01353 665555 or visit www.eastcambs.gov.uk

Easy DIY Fairy Garden
Once each month I join some of my favorite blogging friends in a blog hop. You will find the links to their posts at the end of my post. I am sure you will have a great time.
If you have joined me from one of the other Creative Maker blogs, thank you very much for stopping by.
This little fairy garden for Easter can be whipped up in ten minutes or less. It takes more time to gather the supplies than it actually does to put the fairy garden together. You don't need to get dirty and its super safe for children to do. There is not hot glue gun needed just some tape and toothpicks.
Fairies love the wide open air, so instead of placing this fairy garden inside a cloche, it contains a miniature teacup setting inside a birds nest.
In the interests of time and a more than average brown thumb, this fairy garden is made of faux everything. The inspiration for it was this little moss covered bunny I found in my stash. He reminded me of what a fairy Easter bunny would look like so I ran with the idea. I think he is just beyond adorable.
The next stop was to Michael's fairy and succulent section, where I found the moss rocks and some fairy miniatures.
How to Make the Easter Fairy Garden
To make one of your own you will need.
Large nest
Pretty teacup
Tiny fairy and tiny fairy accessories
Moss covered Styrofoam rabbit
Moss covered Styrofoam stones (mine has succulents)
Pretty teacup
Various moss-covered stones
Faux ivy vines
Natural moss
Small Easter eggs
Tape and Toothpicks
DIY Fairy Garden Easter Arrangement Tutorial
Place a bed of moss in your nest.
Wrap ivy around the outside of the teacup and attach with tape at the bottom. Place your teacup and saucer in the basket.
Place a toothpick into the underside of your Styrofoam bunny to stabilize and then place him near the front of the teacup.k
Add the Styrofoam rocks using toothpicks like you did the bunny.
Display some moss inside the teacup and add your fairy and her accessories. I love this tiny set because it even has a little tea service on top of the table. I love how it snuggles inside turning the teacup into a little covered patio.g
Finish your display by adding moss and greenery to camouflage any areas that don't look natural.
Finally add the Easter eggs, because it can't be an Easter bunny centerpiece without eggs, can it?
Some Other Ideas for Your Fairy Garden
This is a perfect little arrangement to bring some fun to the office setting, or to someone in the hospital. It causes no allergies, doesn't need sunlight and you don't need to remember to water it.
Or how about making this DIY fairy garden for a Grandmother for Easter. Purchase the items and her and her grandchildren can spend a few minutes designing the basket. It may not smell as nice as fresh flowers, but it will last much longer.
Make sure to check out these lovely blog posts from my talented blogging friends.
