Wet'n'Wild Las Vegas Spearheads ‘Coats in the Cabana’ Drive During December



Baby it's cold outside!  If you live in Vegas, then you know this winter has been a cold one! Can you imagine having to live outside in it? I challenge all of you to take ten minutes and go through your closets, you'll be amazed what you find and aren't using any longer.  Remember, there are many out there that can use it instead of it sitting there taking up closet space!  Wet‘n’Wild Las Vegas is spearheading a ‘Coats in the Cabana’ Drive, a charity effort designed to collect new or gently used, clean coats for men, women and children that will be donated to the Salvation Army, the Shade Tree Shelter and Child Haven during the winter months.  Community members who donate to the drive will receive a $10 coupon toward a 2016 Wet‘n’Wild Season Pass for each coat donated. Among businesses serving as drop-off locations are: Simmons Group, Grand Canyon Development Partners, SurgiSpa, Fisher & Phillips LLP, and the Jolley Urga Woodbury Little law firm.  “Wet‘n’Wild may be a summer park, but we are members of this community year round,” said Takuya Ohki, general manager of Wet‘n’Wild Las Vegas. “We are always happy to help those in need and give them access to something everyone should have when the weather turns cold - coats. We are also grateful to the participating local businesses for their giving spirits and willingness to assist in this effort.”

The locations to drop off coats and receive the season pass vouchers are list above.  Once collected, the coats will be brought to a cabana at Wet‘n’Wild Las Vegas, 7055 S. Fort Apache Road, and representatives from the charities will pick them up to distribute to those in need. Coat donations will be accepted through December 11, 2015.

Last-Minute Gifts That Give Back



Christmas is coming up fast, and I know you still don’t have all your shopping done! You'll need help if you’re going to beat St. Nick—that sleigh is quick! Be ready with these great gifts from the 2015 World Vision Gift Catalog.  World Vision provides donors the opportunity to give a gift in a loved one’s name, making these the perfect presents to show family and friends love and to spread the joy of the holiday season across the world. And, as an added bonus, there’s nothing to wrap!


Goats – World Vision offers donors a variety of livestock to choose from, and goats are their most popular option. One goat is a valuable source of milk and fertilizer for a family. The milk provides children with easy-to-digest protein and calcium, and the fertilizer helps crops flourish. A gift of two goats sets a family on a path towards success as shepherds who can start their own flock. $75 for one, $150 for two

Fruit Trees – Even with all the sweets and treats the holiday season brings, it’s important to remember nature’s candy—and not just for the figgy pudding! Donating five, ten, or fifteen fruit trees can help a family feed itself and start a business. The seed of this gift can blossom for years as a few trees turns into groves and orchards full of good, healthy fruit. Partridges not included. $30 for five trees, $60 for ten, $90 for fifteen

Soccer Balls – Every parent knows the best feeling in the world is seeing a child’s face light up like the Christmas tree as they discover what’s been left for them by Santa. Donors can pass that same joy along to kids across the world with their gift of soccer balls, which replace makeshift balls made of banana leaves or rolled-up trash. The popularity of soccer makes this gift a great way to reach out with a helping hand. $16 for two balls, $32 for four, $48 for six


In addition to the gifts above, World Vision operates the Where Most Needed fund, which provides for improvements in the quality of life for struggling children and families in the U.S. and around the world. Donors to this fund are eligible to receive beautiful artisanal goods from Africa, India, and Southeast Asia, which make wonderful presents and stocking stuffers. I encourage you to pledge your support and receive handcrafted gifts for yourself or your loved ones.

Dulera and Proper Treatment of Asthma

                Asthma is one of the most extreme respiratory conditions. It is a chronic disease that follows person during his whole life. However, it can vary in intensity so some people will have big issues while others will barely notice it. Nowadays, this illness can easily be treated and controlled. Nevertheless, it remains a very dangerous problem because asthma attack can even lead to choking and death. In order to prevent most of the symptoms, you can buy Dulera online and treat asthma directly.
                This sickness is in fact allergic reaction to various substances that are present in our midst. When patient’s body encounters one of these particles, mucous membrane will react by causing severe inflammation followed by wheezing, shortness of breath and even choking. When tissue becomes inflamed, it will also become swollen. This will reduce passage of air leading to all previously mentioned symptoms. Have in mind that asthma is much more severe than plain allergic rhinitis as it can directly endanger someone’s life.

                Condition usually appears in early childhood. Simply put, some people are prone to allergic issues. This can be result of a genetic flaw which makes membrane really thin. Otherwise, tissue would be able to eliminate most of these substances. Due to its inability to process them, it will cause a reaction. In time, mucus membrane will increase in thickness which will reduce symptoms of asthma. However, this is not always the case and patient may suffer from same intensity of disease throughout his life. According to research made by pharmacists at You! Drugstore, if one parent had asthma, there is about 25 percent chance that child will also have it. In case that both parents had it, there is 50 – 50 chance of illness affecting infant. Naturally, it can also happen due to damage to tissue or use of certain medication. But, this happens only in a limited number of cases.

                When it comes to asthma (or any other form of allergic reaction) most doctors will recommend avoiding troublesome substance all together. Have in mind that every respiratory issue is caused by particles that are present in the air. As such, it is very hard to avoid them. Sometimes, you are able to stay at home and protect yourself in that way. In reality, this is hard to accomplish due to our responsibilities.

                Drugs are perhaps the optimal way of eliminating symptoms such as wheezing or shortness of breath. Dulera is excellent solution for asthma because it eliminates inflammation and opens nasal pathways so the patient can once again breathe properly. Medicine should be used for longer period of time. This is the only way it can achieve maximum impact. In doesn’t react quickly so patient should not use it in case of immediate asthma attack. Like any other drug for asthma, Dulera comes in a form of inhalator. It requires at least one week for drug to react. Reported side effects are hoarseness, stuffy nose, dry mouth or some other type of throat irritation.
