ClevelandWomen.Com Joke of the Week
Three blonde men are stranded on an island. Suddenly a fairy appears and offers to grant them each one wish. The first blonde asks to be intelligent. Immediately he is turned into a brown-haired man and he swims off the island.
The next blonde man asks to be even more intelligent than the previous one. So he is turned into a black-haired man and he builds a boat and sails off the island.

What's in that Fruit Juice? Keeping Up With Maury
Let's take a look at the Cranberry Farmers. They come on the air and promote their crop. So you think when you purchase a cranberry bottled drink, you are getting a 100% cranberry juice. No, that won't happen. I don't know the numbers, but you won't get more than 25% of actually cranberry juice. The rest will be apple juice, or whatever fruit juice they want to mix it with.

Making Cleveland, Ohio (and all of us) proud
Petty Officer 3rd Class Lawrence Matejka, a personnel specialist and 2011 Cleveland Job Corps Center graduate from Cleveland, Ohio, is currently serving with Navy Operational Support Center Kitsap in the U.S. Navy, which protects and defends America on the world's oceans. With more than 70 percent of the world covered by water, 80 percent of the world's population living near those waters, and 90 percent of the world's commerce shipped over those waters, having Matejka serving his country matters. Because the Navy is always deployed around the world around the clock, it provides America nearly immediate response to anything.
The ability to act from the sea and being uniquely positioned on the world's oceans help give the Navy the power to protect America's interests anywhere, and at any time.

Garden for Wildlife Myths and Facts
Myth #1: Providing water for wildlife creates a mosquito haven.
False. It takes a minimum of about a week for the metamorphosis from egg to winged adult to be completed, so emptying your bird bath or other water source every few days eliminates the chance of creating a mosquito nursery.
Myth #2: Dogs and gardening for wildlife don't mix.
False. Plan your garden by thinking like your dog! Arbors for vines protect plants and also direct your dog's path. Focus on attracting wildlife that your dog is unlikely to harm or be harmed by such as bird and butterflies Large, round rocks are awkward for dogs to walk on, so use them to block off delicate plants.
Myth #3: You can't garden if you have allergies.
False. Plants pollinated by the wind are the cause of most allergies. Fortunately for gardeners and wildlife lovers, plants pollinated by animals have not only brightly colored blooms but also large, heavy pollen that is less likely to be allergenic. Plant native wildflowers like asters, goldenrods and coneflowers that are pollinated by animals.
Myth #4: You need a yard to garden for wildlife.
False. Many species, like birds and butterflies, are easy to attract since they are so mobile. If you have a smaller space, just think in smaller scale. For example, instead of a bird bath, simply fill a small dish with water.
