LITITZ, PA, June 01, 2013 (Press-News.org) The popularity of the dramatic British television show, Downton Abbey, has increased the popularity of all things Elizabethan including interior decor, fashion and outdoor living spaces.
Homeowners looking to give their own backyards the feel of an Elizabethan or British garden have a number of options to choose from, starting with several collections from CobraCo.
A distinguishing factor of an English garden is the organization of plantings. An Elizabethan garden often has structured pathways featuring careful groupings of plantings in a traditional manner and they tend to be very symmetrical. Anything done on one side of the pathway or yard is usually mirrored on the opposite side. Hedgerows are also popular along the edges of flower beds to strictly define the space.
CobraCo offers a Queen Elizabeth collection of hanging baskets, including a parasol style and a more traditional, round hanging basket. Made of rust-resistant black metal, the Queen Elizabeth style planters can be purchased as hanging baskets, stake planters, floor planters and basket stands. To create a Downton Abbey inspired look, gardeners can use an assortment of planters to create pops of color at different heights throughout the backyard space.
CobraCo is part of the Avant Garden Decor family of brands, which is the premier brand of innovative outdoor living decor. From stylish planters and baskets, to flower boxes, plant stands, and fire pits - it's the one stop brand for all outdoor decor needs. Avant Garden Decor also offers Gardener's Blue Ribbon brand of garden helpers, such as garden stakes, accessories, and various plant saucers that meet the demands of both gardening hobbyists and enthusiasts alike.

Sleep deprived men over perceive women's sexual interest and intent
2013-05-31
DARIEN, IL – A new study suggests that one night of sleep deprivation leads to an increase in men's perceptions of both women's interest in and intent to have sex.
Results show that when they were well-rested, both men and women rated the sexual intent of women as significantly lower than that of men. However, following one night of sleep deprivation, men's rating of women's sexual intent and interest increased significantly, to the extent that women were no longer seen as having lower sexual intent than men. Sleep deprivation had no significant effect on variables related ...
Studies link fatigue and sleep to MLB performance and career longevity
2013-05-31
DARIEN, IL – Two new studies show that fatigue may impair strike-zone judgment during the 162 game Major League Baseball season, and a MLB player's sleepiness can predict his longevity in the league.
One study found that MLB players' strike-zone judgment was worse in September than in April in 24 of 30 teams. When averaged across all teams, strike-zone judgment was significantly worse in September compared with April. The statistical model demonstrated strong predictive value through the season.

New technique alleviates painful bone metastases
2013-05-31
CHICAGO, IL (May 29, 2013)—A high-dose of ultrasound targeted to painful bone metastases appears to quickly bring patients relief, and with largely tolerable side effects, according to new research presented by Fox Chase Cancer Center scientists at the 49th Annual Meeting of the American Society of Clinical Oncology on Monday, June 3.
During the procedure, known as MR-guided focused ultrasound, doctors direct a concentrated beam of energy to specific nerve endings that are causing pain in bone metastases. These patients typically have a significant amount of discomfort—half ...

2013-05-31
CHICAGO, IL (May 29, 2013)—Researchers from Fox Chase Cancer Center will present data at the 49th Annual Meeting of the American Society of Clinical Oncology on Saturday, June 1, which shows the discovery of potential biomarkers that may be used to identify patients with head and neck cancer whose tumors are unlikely to respond to treatment by the targeted therapy cetuximab—a type of monoclonal antibody. The FDA approved the drug, in combination with radiation or as a second-line drug after chemotherapy had failed, in 2006. In 2011, the drug was approved as a first-line ...
