Submitted Florida Lifestyle Homes new Antigua model at Quail West features four bedrooms, 4.5 baths, a study, 4,032 air-conditioned square feet and 6,762 total square feet.

Florida Lifestyle Homes of Fort Myers Inc. is offering its newest model, the Antigua, at Quail West Golf & Country Club in North Naples.

This is a spectacular new design, with dramatic details and elegant finishes throughout said Ron Vandenack, director of sales for Florida Lifestyle Homes. From the entryway which is framed in Coronado Italian villa stone the Antigua is a showcase of intricate ceiling features with suspended beams, bead board and cove lighting, substantial tile work, custom cabinetry and extensive architectural moldings.

A four-bedroom design with four-and-one-half baths plus a study, the Antigua encompasses 4,032 square feet of air-conditioned living space. With a covered entry, outdoor kitchen, living and dining areas along with a three-car garage, the home has 6,762 total square feet.

This home achieves the ultimate space for outdoor living with a 1,636-square-foot lanai that offers areas for entertaining, dining and conversation, all under a dramatic tongue-and-groove cypress wood coffered ceiling, Vandenack said. There is a fully equipped stainless steel outdoor kitchen and bar with a deluxe gas grill, sink and outdoor refrigerator. The TV entertainment center with its gas fireplace is a perfect spot for viewing sports. The custom pool features a beautiful stucco pearl plaster finish, a sun shelf, tile inlay and a raised spa with a bubbler fountain and spillover that cascades into the pool. It also features a unique deck jet system with LED lighting that creates a fascinating water stream display from the deck into the pool.

Triple pocketing glass doors provide the master suite with its own private entry to the lanai. This luxurious retreat features a tray ceiling with cove lighting and a morning caf bar with an undercounter refrigerator. There is a large walk-in closet for him, and two walk-in closets for her. Her bath includes a vanity and makeup vanity, private water closet and soaking tub. His bath includes a vanity and private water closet. The his-and-her master bath are connected by a walk-through shower with two body sprays and a rain showerhead.

Two of the guest bedrooms offer an en suite bathroom. The third guest bedroom has access to a full bath that may double as a pool bath. An additional half-bath with a circular vaulted ceiling is adjacent to the study.

Equipped with Viking appliances, including a gas range and a stove top pot filler, the kitchen is a chefs delight. A one-of-a-kind walk-through butlers pantry features custom-designed cabinetry and a wine chiller. Set beneath a ceiling accented with cross beams, the kitchen is open to the great room and the dining area. Pocketing glass doors on two walls offer a convenient connection between the dining area and outdoor entertainment space.

State-of-the-art construction materials and electronics have been included in this classic design, Vandenack said. For example, the Antigua offers the PulseWorx lighting and home automation system with an iPad controller that is smartphone enabled as well as the Honeywell Z-Wave smartphone enabled alarm with motion sensors. The Antigua has impact-rated glass throughout and wind resistant screw down roof tiles. There is an extensive list of other energy-saving and security features, which provide the homeowner with an added measure of confidence.

The Antigua is being offered at $1,769,000, furnished and includes a house membership at Quail West. Private tours of the home may be arranged by contacting Vandenack at 239.561.8022.

LAME DEER Bill Parker got out of his truck and pointed to the new, partially finished, sand-colored school building sitting just across the parking lot from his office at the Lame Deer School District administration building.

"It's not finished," said Parker, the district's new superintendent. "We ran out of money."

In all, $5.6 million has been spent on the construction of the single-story, nine-classroom building that includes a library and an unfinished space that may be the cafeteria or the computer lab.

The school, which sits in the heart of the Northern Cheyenne Indian Reservation, was supposed to be finished a year ago. Instead, large sections of the exterior walls still lack brickwork and inside the building, much of the southern half of the school is just steel girders and concrete.

Frustrating, to be sure. The unfinished construction has created a space crunch for about half the district's students.

To accommodate the students, the stage above the high school's old gymnasium has been divided and converted into classrooms. The boys' locker room became the school's counseling center; the hot-air hand-dryer sits directly behind the counselor's desk. The principal's office is set up in the gym's lobby.

"We're flexible and we're making do with what we have," said Sherry Foote, the school's principal. "We'll get through this."

However, it's not the delays that really worry school officials; it's the troubling lack of quality in the work that has been done so far. That's where the district plans to take action.

"We're just trying to get to the bottom of it," said Rob McLean, the school board's new chairman.

The problems start immediately at the school's entrance. The slick metal roof above the double doors continually spills snow and slush onto the stepsleading up to the school.

Jan. 17, 2014 New research from Queen Mary University of London has revealed -- for the first time -- how the condition Giant Cell Arteritis (GCA) may be caused by a certain group of white blood cells called 'neutrophils'. GCA (also known as temporal arteritis) is a condition which causes severe inflammation in the blood vessels and primarily affects the elderly.

GCA is initially treated with a six-month course of high-dose steroids. This study, published today in the journal Circulation Research, has shown that despite what appears to be signs of improvement following the treatment, the neutrophils become altered in a severe way that could lead to stroke or blindness.

This is the only study of its kind to investigate the role of neutrophils in relation to GCA and the discovery was made by comparing blood samples from patients suffering from vascular diseases. Patients with GCA, recruited to Southend University Hospital and Hammersmith Hospital, had blood samples taken within 48 hours of beginning steroid therapy, and again at 1, 4 and 24 weeks into treatment. Researchers examined these samples by isolating the neutrophils and studying its behaviour.

Mauro Perretti, lead author and Professor of Immunopharmacology, Queen Mary University of London, comments:

"We are very excited by this discovery and hope our findings will eventually lead to better clinical insight into whether a patient with GCA is really improving with treatment. It is commonplace for patients to come off therapy after six months but our research shows this may be too early for many. A GCA patient may appear to have recovered, but these findings reveal how changes and complications in the circulatory system could cause serious illness, such as stroke or even death.

We hope our study will lead to doctors monitoring the status of their patients' neutrophils in order to fully and truly assess disease progression and therapeutic control."

The research was a collaborative four-year effort led by Professor Mauro Perretti and colleagues Professor Bhaskar Dasgupta, Head of Rheumatology at Southend University Hospital, and Professor Justin Mason who leads on vascular Inflammation at Hammersmith Hospital.

In the UK, it is estimated that about one in every 4,500 people will develop a new case of giant cell arteritis each year. The condition is age-related and only tends to affect adults over the age of 50, and more commonly adults over 60 years old. The condition is three times more common in women than in men and it also seven times more common in white people than in black people.

Consumers quest for the softest soft and the cleanest clean coupled with low-flow flushing is leading to costly, inconvenient clogs.

The new toilet paper, its bad news, says Paul Evan, owner of Ken Evans Plumbing and Heating Ltd. in Dartmouth.

I get the sales pitch that it is more comfortable, but toilet paper, it should never be that thick.

The plumber said his business has increased as toilet paper manufacturers have introduced increasingly more luxurious products and that is because the new multiply and super-strong tissues are tough on plumbing.

But the worst offenders, however, are the recently introduced wipes, which manufacturers claim are flushable, Evans said.

The new products are particularly tough on homes that have low-flow toilets and or old cast-iron pipes because the old metal pipes develop spurs that catch and snag the tissue and wipes, he explained, while low-flow toilets have less water pushing waste down the pipes.

So the paper, now, doesnt break down as much, its not being pushed down as far because it doesnt have enough water behind it. Thats what we found.

Evans recommended testing toilet paper at home to check for its flushability.

Take a couple pieces of that (ultra-thick) toilet paper and throw it into the bowl. If you look at it and wait, you will see that it wont break down. The cheaper stuff, you will see that it will basically shred itself.

And, even though some manufacturers are marketing flushable wipes for adults, Evans says they should go in the trash not the toilet.

LEXINGTON, Ky. (WKYT) - A Lexington man had to find another place to stay Friday night after a fire broke out in an addition to his home.

Firefighters were called to the home on Easthills Drive around 10:30 Friday evening. The homeowner told fire officials that he was downstairs originally and had gone upstairs to get something when he noticed the smoke and flames coming from his sun-room addition.

When crews arrived on the scene flames and smoke were visible from the home, and they were able to get the fire out fairly quickly. The fire did a large amount of damage to the addition on the home and the kitchen and dining room also sustained minor damage. Fire officials say they had to cut power to the home because they were unsure of the source of the fire.

According to fire officials there were no working smoke detectors in the home.

The cause of the fire is still under investigation but officials say they do not believe it is suspicious.
