Entourage Season 3 (Part 1) has Ended...
...and with that, so does Emmanuelle Chriqui's time on my blog. One last look before we trade her in for a newer model.
Also, I'm a little sad that the show ended on Sunday Night. It's such a fun show and the 30 minutes (yea, it's more like 22-25, even on HBO) goes by soo quickly, I'm always left yelling "Already!?!" when the credits roll. Sad to see Ari get fired, but I have a feeling that won't last. Oh, and I swear I'm going to punch the next person that says "This show sucks without Ari." He's not leaving the show people. I have no idea where that came from.
Also, there was definetly not enough Sloane this year. She was only in a few episodes around the middle of the season.
Here's to hoping the show makes it back before March, as it's scheduled to come back the same time as Sopranos.

Lea Michele Showed Us the Inside of Her Fridge, and Now We're Convinced She's Superhuman
Does this health nut EVER have a cheat day?
If you follow Lea Michele on Instagram, you that one of her favorite places is SoulCycle. The former Glee star is downright addicted to a good workout — and her food addictions are just as healthy. The singer and actress recently showed off the inside of her fridge on social media. And may we just ask: Is this actually the produce aisle of the most immaculate grocery store ever?
Behold shelves lined with bottles of water, loads of fresh fruits, and other healthful goodies like chia-seed bread. We're guessing that Lea Michele doesn't find expired cartons of Thai takeout each time she cleans out her fridge. (So, just us?)
There's a method behind this sparkling, color-blocked organization. In a caption to accompany her Instagram story, the singer explained that she keeps healthy food at home so that when a snack-attack strikes, she'll have no choice but to reach for something like a fistful of cherries or a ripe, juicy orange. Instead of, you know, leftover Pad Thai.
Whatever Lea Michele is doing, it's certainly working. The star is in tip-top shape, and her bikini snaps from beaches around the world are on our fitness vision board.
But, lest you start thinking Lea Michele's not just like us, she has admitted to some cheat-day cravings in the past. "My vice is cheese, 100-percent, and pizza," she once told E!. "I was just in New York City a couple weeks ago, and I definitely late-night had like four slices of pizza. The best!"
Even better, apparently, when it's chased with limes and Brussels sprouts.

|Vikas (left), Ashish
TT, Chandigarh, Aug. 10: Police today identified Ashish Kumar as the person who had knocked on Varnika Kundu's car window after Vikas Barala apparently "admitted" he was driving the SUV that allegedly stalked her.
Vikas, son of Haryana BJP chief Subhash Barala, and friend Ashish had both been charged with attempted kidnapping and rearrested following a furore, after initially being booked only for stalking and drink-driving and given bail.
Officers did not clarify today whether the attempted kidnapping charge - which can bring up to seven years in jail - could now be dropped against Vikas since the police seem convinced that he had stayed at the wheel throughout the car chase.
"He (Vikas) was shown the CCTV footage. He admitted that he was behind the wheel of the SUV while his friend occupied the next seat," a senior officer said, asking not to be identified.
"We'll be reconstructing the crime with their help. We also have to find out what prompted the two to chase the girl. We have to find out why Ashish stepped out of the SUV and knocked on the victim's window."
Vikas, 23, and Ashish, 27, were produced at the district court here today and remanded in two days' police custody.
Ashish is from a village in Haryana's Bhiwani district. "His father, a property dealer, died a few years ago. The family has been going through hard times since then," an officer said.
"Although he is a law graduate, Ashish is unemployed and would hang around with Vikas, a law student, most of the time."
The duo are accused of chasing Varnika, 29, a disc jockey and daughter of a Haryana IAS officer, across a stretch of 6km in Chandigarh close to midnight on August 4.
"When my car stopped at a traffic signal, one of the men jumped out and tried to enter my car," Varnika had told The Telegraph on August 6 --- an allegation directly related to the attempted kidnapping charge.
Her ordeal ended when the police answered a distress call she had made from her car and intercepted and arrested the accused. But the cops only invoked bailable charges and straightaway granted bail after a medical examination that the police say proved the duo were drunk.
As a huge controversy broke out, the two accused drove to Chandigarh's Sector 26 police station yesterday afternoon and surrendered. Rearrested after interrogation and charged with attempted kidnapping, they were produced in court around 2.30 this afternoon.
Chandigarh police chief Tajender Singh Luthra said yesterday's arrests had been made on the basis of the progress made in the investigation.
"New evidence had emerged in the form of the CCTV footage, and legal opinion on whether (penal code) Section 511 (attempt to commit a punishable crime) should be added was favourable," Luthra said.
Section 511 will be read with Section 365 (kidnapping). The graver charges were invoked after Luthra had a discussion with Union home secretary Rajiv Mehrishi yesterday afternoon.
Police sources have clarified that both the accused had refused to give urine and blood samples for a medical examination on August 4 night --- as was their right --- but a breathalyser test had confirmed they were drunk.

What would possess me to engage in such a business? Throw in a tortured past, 24/7 murderous thoughts, and a desire to keep the innocent people of my small town safe.
I was contained, out of the way, sexcamming my way to utter obscurity until HE came along. A twisted client armed with a target's name. Annie. And in that name, everything changed."
I freaking loved this book! I can't tell you how excited I was when I was finished and thought I can't wait to tell everyone about this story! It is so different than most of what is out there! (yes, all of the exclamation points are very necessary) Don't let the blurb scare you. I was fine with it, but I can see how for some it may seem a bit much. Just trust me on this one and read it! The psychotic and psychological part of, The Girl in 6E, was dark and interesting. You hear of these people with strange fetishes that spend all of their money on phone/internet sex but do you ever wonder why they do this? What got them to this point? Well, Alessandra Torre gives you a view into this world. Also, did I expect Jessica to have psychoses as well? No! But holy shit does she have issues.
"My secret, my obsession is worse than any of theirs. To contain it, I do the only thing I can. I lock myself up. And in doing so, keep myself, and everyone else, safe."
The sex-camming is really only one small piece of a very large puzzle. (A very lucrative piece, for sure) Jessica is very smart and super observant due to the lifestyle she has chosen to live. She has managed to keep resources at hand. Such as, online food ordering, a hacker friend/client, a medical professional, an understanding yet curious delivery man and an addict neighbor. All of these people are critical to Jessica's existence and the way she manipulates them was genius!
This book is written in several different POVs, which kept it interesting and surprising. I never wanted to put it down while I was reading it. The story takes an amazing turn that had my stomach in knots, my brow perspiring and biting my nails. I really don't want to give anything away so you'll just have to read it to find out. I was even in tears at a couple of parts. This dark and suspenseful book knocked my socks off! Seriously! I'm so excited for Alessandra Torre and all of the amazing fans she is going to get after they read this!
xo, D
RalphMA35 hasn't snapped yet. But I can see his path as clearly as I can see my own. And it is coming. His demented evil was growing, and I am undoubtedly fanning the flame. I promise you, that is not my intention. My intention is only to save her.

Letting go of our babies...
Today was the first day of kindergarten for our oldest son, Michael. I didn't have many expectations for the day other than one less boy around my house making noise! To my surprise after dropping him off at school, coming home and sitting down the flood gates opened and my heart was broken. Five and half years flashed before my eyes and then I realized my little boy is on his way to becoming a man and fulfilling God's plan for his life. Whether his days are short or long, our time at home is over. Enjoy the moments with those little ones at home. I now understand in my heart all I was told by older women who advised me to enjoy this time.
The greatest comfort I have found in this day is knowing, trusting and leaning upon the truth that our God is ever present and all knowing. The Lord spoke to me and gave me Psalm 139 today. I sat down and substituted Michael and him in all the places it says I and me. I encourage you all to do the same for each of your children as you commit them to the Lord each day.
Changing seasons and eyes full of tears,
Psalm 139
O LORD, you examine Michael and know him.
You know when he sits down and when he gets up;
even from far away you understand his motives.
You carefully observe him when he travels or when he lies down to rest;
you are aware of everything he is doing.
Certainly his tongue does not frame a word
without you, O LORD, being thoroughly aware of it.
You squeeze him in from behind and in front;
you place your hand on him.
Your knowledge is beyond our comprehension;
it is so far beyond us, we are unable to fathom it.
Where can he go to escape your spirit?
Where can he flee to escape your presence?
If he were to ascend to heaven, you would be there.
If he were to sprawl out in Sheol, there you would be.
If he were to fly away on the wings of the dawn,
and settle down on the other side of the sea,
even there your hand would guide him,
your right hand would grab hold of him.....
look up the rest and write it out for your children

Thanks Annie! We started 1st grade last week and I found myself nervous on the way to school that morning. I find myself thinking about what he is doing and how he feels at school. I love Psalm 139 and read it just this morning. It is so comforting to know that God knows 'when Peter sits and when Peter rises' and that He is 'familiar with all his ways'. For five years I was the one who knew when Peter sat and when Peter rose and was oh so familiar with his ways. Letting go is not easy, but giving my children to the Lord each day will make it just a little bit easier.

I can understand your heartache! I have an 19 month old little boy and I get choked up just thinking about him going to school. Turning our loved ones over to God and knowing that he loves them more that we do is a hard thing. But its better he knows so much more that we do. (now if I can only convince myself of that) : )

Max van Egmond, barytone

"Structurally it looks very good, it has fantasy and 'invention' and fits perfectly in the Classic writing style of this genre.

Has anyone seen or heard former CIA agent ?Gary Schroen on TV or radio promoting his newly released book, "First In: How the "? He's pretty credible, calm and knowledgeable (he was former station chief in both Kabul and Islamabad). He says he is surprised that the CIA has still not managed to track down Bin Laden after all this time. He's convinced he's in the tribal areas of Pakistan, but says the Pakistanis won't cooperate with us on Bin Laden -- the people of the region where he's hiding consider him a hero.
Little Tim interviewed him on MTP yesterday:
MR. RUSSERT: How did he get away?
MR. SCHROEN: We had done--followed the same lead we had taken since September of '01 in defeating the Taliban. We were attacking with U.S. military forces against the al-Qaeda and Taliban militants, and we hired local tribal leaders to guard the escape routes into Pakistan. Unfortunately, many of those people proved to be loyal to bin Laden and sympathizers with the Taliban and they allowed the key guys to escape...
MR. RUSSERT: Should we have had [as John Kerry declared during the presidential campaign] more U.S. troops in Afghanistan circling Tora Bora to prevent his escape?
MR. SCHROEN: In hindsight that would have been ideal. We fought a special operations war. It was CIA and Army Green Berets on the ground directing the bombing campaign. It was only late in the campaign that U.S. ground forces came in, and the evolution, I think, simply we didn't take it far enough. If we'd have had one more battle after Tora Bora, we probably would have gotten it right.
MR. RUSSERT: Again, in October of 2004, in the presidential campaign, after John Kerry made those charges, General Tommy Franks offered this observation. "We don't know to this day whether Mr. bin Laden was at Tora Bora in December 2001. ...Mr. bin Laden was never within our grasp."
You just disagree with that?
MR. SCHROEN: I absolutely do, yes.
MR. RUSSERT: And President Bush and Vice President Cheney all quoted General Franks, saying: "We don't know if bin Laden was at Tora Bora." You have no doubt.
MR. SCHROEN: I have no doubt that he was there.
MR. RUSSERT: Let me turn again to your book. "The United States is continuing to pour billions of dollars and sacrifice the lives of American soldiers in order to bring peace and democracy to Iraq. This is being done at the expense of Afghanistan. ... Given the total preoccupation with Iraq, I am not confident that the U.S. government will make the policy adjustments necessary to improve conditions for the success of the democratic experiment in Afghanistan, or refocus diplomatic and military efforts back to the South Asia region in order to capture Osama bin Laden and defeat al-Qa'ida. The opportunity to make these changes exists now; if we fail in these efforts, we do so at our peril."
Are you suggesting--do you believe that Iraq is a distraction, a preoccupation, and it is really limiting our ability to capture Osama bin Laden and secure Afghanistan?
MR. SCHROEN: I absolutely do.

text: High everyone, I am going to grow meat birds for the first time this year and wanted to run my plan past the group. I am building a hoop coop based on these plans (http://www.plamondon.com/hoophouse.pdf) from Robert Plamondon. I have altered the dimensions a bit to provide 100 square feet of paddock space. It will be built with 12' 2x6 for runners and 8' wide. Three cattle panels make the roof. All told, according to my math, it should weight about 350# and be easily moved every couple days by our tractor. The coop cost $387 to build in total ( provided I haven't forgotten anything, I will actually build it this weekend). For predator protection, I purchased this solar electric fence unit (https://www.premier1supplies.com/p/intellishock-30-solar-fence-energizer) for $216. A single hot wire will go around the bottom of the coop. For our processing, I purchased the Starplucker SP-1 from CCONLY for $578 shipped. I also purchased a folding fish fillet table which I will use for my evisceration station. We are going to start by raising 30 muscovy ducks. This should give them 3 square feet per duck, and we hope it will be enough space if we move the tractor every couple days. The plan is to use the hoop coop as a greenhouse in early spring and fall to extend our growing season a bit as well. I am still figuring out feeders and waterers for the ducks. Interested in comments and suggestions, thanks!

Hello. :)
So, lots to tell! Let's just see if I can remember everything.
We have 2 new districts in our zone, as of yesterday. And one is an ASL district. Do you know how AWESOME it is to watch them sign to each other over like.... food and stuff? I'm totally fascinated by it. I don't really know any of them yet, as they just came into the MTC yesterday, but it's just..... fantastic. :) I hope to get to know them a little bit before I leave on Tuesday!
It was sort of sad though, because one of our districts left Monday, the one with the other trio of Sisters. We really loved them, but they're going to be great missionaries.
So, we're getting a new counselor in the Branch Presidency for our zone, and guess who it is? It's Brother McLay, my old Seminary teacher! Do you know how EXCITING that is?!?! It makes me SO happy! It's just sort of sad that I'll only get to see him Sunday, but I'm so STOKED to get to say hello to him! And speaking of Sunday, I'm like, actually, super excited about it, since it will be fast Sunday, and our last Sunday here. I'm sure it will be a great testimony meeting, and the districts that are leaving (which is mine and one other district) usually sing the closing song. We might be doing the EFY medley (if it's approved, that is), which means I'll be the only Alto for the song, which I find sort of exciting. (The other district that's leaving is all Elders. They're all awesome.) And can I just say that I LOVE my District? We're like a family; we all get along so well! And us Sisters have no idea what we're going to do when we have to split up and be in a companionship. We're so used to being a trio! Seriously, last Friday, we did splits, and Sister Johnston went to the other District with Sisters. Poor Sister Clemons and I were like, "How are we supposed to teach with just 2 of us?!" But I love them both, and I'm so happy that we're all going to the same mission; same with the Elders.
This week has been going well. It's kind of been interesting; in both class and in my personal studies, there have been 3 words that keep popping up: Atonement, joy, and compassion. As I've tried to apply these three into my roleplays, lessons, and life in general, I feel a greater and stronger Spirit around me. The Spirit here is just awe-inspiring, and I'm super grateful that I was given the opportunity to spend three weeks here instead of just 10 or 12 days, whatever it is. It's only really been this week where I feel like, yes, I may be inadequate, but the Lord will make me an adequate instrument in his hands.
However, despite my time in the MTC, I'm SO excited to be heading out to Nampa next Tuesday!.... even if I'm not so excited for the riding a plane part of the journey. And the fact that I'm getting up at 4 in the morning to go. (How gross is that?) So..... just so you know.... there may not be an email next week.... I'm not totally sure how that's going to work out. But that's okay! I'm just super excited to get out there and invite others to Christ! AHHHH!!!!!
Sorry, my brain feels SO scattered right now.
Ooh! I saw Adam at the MTC. he's working in the cafeteria. I also saw Scott James from high school; he's teaching Portuguese here. I've seen a girl from Institute (whose name currently slips me), and another girl from high school. It's crazy how many people I know here. It's just a little weird sometimes; everyone in my district sees missionaries they know, and I'm all like ".... I know the workers." Makes me feel a little old sometimes. and way too local. But it's still fun.
And there's another Empey serving here right now! I just met him the other day, and he's serving in South Korea! I'm so jealous! But it's okay, I know that I'm supposed to go to Nampa, Idaho, so that jealousy isn't like... bad? I dunno. Anyways, it was pretty sweet. We don't quite know how we're related though, other than knowing it's through the Empey line. Maybe we'll figure out if we run into each other again (which I highly doubt.)
And...... that's all I can think of for now. I love you all! I know that I'm here, in the right place, at the right time, serving Heavenly Father how I need to serve Him. I'm SO grateful for this opportunity, and I WILL see it to the end!
And..... yeah. I think that's it. I can't think of anything else. Loves and hugs! I'm really am doing great. There's been a couple of times I've felt a little overwhelmed, but between prayer, lavender, a freaking awesome district, and loving companions I'm doing well. Have I mentioned how much I love my companions? I LOVE THEM SO MUCH!!!
Okay, I'm seriously going to finish up now. Love you and miss you, and I'll be seeing you before you know it. :)
Love, Sister Empey

Hi everyone! :)
What to talk about this week? Lots of plot, not enough details.
Classes are the usual, trying to stay sane whilst our teachers pile ANOTHER few rules about Portuguese on top of us, whilst we drown. And then there's the irregular ones that don't follow the rules :) So all in all...eh.
Last week we got to hear from Elder Russell M. Nelson again(since he's the head of the Missionary council, he likes it here :) ) He asked us if we were prepared because not too long ago he gave his talk about, "Ask the missionaries. They can help you!" haha so that was a cool talk. You can tell he loves missionary work.
I have made a friend whom Elder Scott introduced me to, and he left today. His name's Elder Wilson and he's pretty awesome :) He's Canadian. Thought that was important.
So yeah...same old, same old. I'm sorry that's not a huge update, I'll try to maybe write a mass letter my mom can put out. I'll try to think of more stuff to say! :)
Just know that I'm well, its hard, but I love it. I love learning ways I can help others Come unto Christ. and I "love" learning Portuguese :) I'm where I'm supposed to be.
I miss you all and hope you're doing well. Have a fantastic week! Hope to hear from some of you, and will try to write as well.

All about fermentation
Here I am, blogging in the library since I have last period free today. I'm blogging now because there's a pasta party immediately after practice and I don't know how much time I'll have before I get home. I GET TO SHAVE TODAY!
Breakfast (this kept me full all the way till 5th period!): two pieces of pumpkin bread with peanut butter and banana, cottage cheese with blueberries, strawberries, wheat germ, honey, a sprinkle of grape nuts and slivered almonds, and the rest of the chocolate soy milk, which was literally one sip.
I have to say though, I went back for some more cottage cheese (I need at least one and a half servings to fill me up) and cereal (puffins this time), and cut my mouth when I was chewing! Has this ever happened that something you're eating has a sharp edge and scratches the inside of your mouth? Painful!
Anyways, bio was super interesting today, since our current unit is metabolism. Today we talked about fermentation, and our teacher asked for us to name some fermented foods. I immediately starting naming the works: tempeh, natto, kimchi...
and he said, "Kimchi's good! And what's the Western equivalent?"
I immediately answered "Sauerkraut!"
Him: Cabbage fan!
The conversation kept going, until he mentioned Middle Eastern preserved lemons. I accidentally blurted out "I LOVE THAT STUFF!" and everybody game me a weird look, including him. "We'll talk privately," he said.
It turns out that he bakes bread (we talked about the biology of alcohol fermentation vs. lactic acid fermentation) and we own the same great food science book, On Food and Cooking.
I WISH I HADN'T DROPPED FOOD CHEMISTRY! It's a spring quarter elective, but it meets during Art History :(
Anyways, he put a picture of natto on the project for everyone to see. Most people couldn't tell what it was: some thought it was a rice krispie treat, beans and cheese, or even larvae.
He brought out a jar of millet miso from this Massachusetts miso company (South River Miso) whose miso is actually made by stomping on the soy beans! He put it into some scary-looking machine that could detect C02 and O2 emissions to test the level of living bacteria in the miso.
Something else I remembered! He makes sourdough by adding GRAPES in with the flour-water mixture before adding the starter! They have to be organic, though: apparently the white film around the outside of organic grapes are all organisms, so they help the fermentation happen faster. Cool, huh? Also, apparently the reason almost all soy products are fermented is because they're more nutritious that way.
Around 11:40, I had my blueberry z bar.
Lunch: very filling! Leftover pumpkin and lentils and couscous, plus applesauce and an orange. It was so juicy, my hands still smell like oranges!
That's about it for now. I'll update what happened with the pasta party later. Pictures will also be posted later.
PS: an example of a lunch that is exactly the opposite of mine? Behold my friend Kaitlyn's: pretzels, 2 Uncrustables, Cheese Nips, mandarin-orange ish fruit, and a banana.
Labels: applesauce, banana, berries, breakfast, cottage cheese, couscous, lentils, miso, natto, peanut butter, pumpkin, science, z bar

The Times' Nicholas Kristof writes today that the crux of the Occupy movement's complaint isn't capitalism, its crony capitalism,
Capitalism is so successful an economic system partly because of an internal discipline that allows for loss and even bankruptcy. It's the possibility of failure that creates the opportunity for triumph. Yet many of America's major banks are too big to fail, so they can privatize profits while socializing risk.
The upshot is that financial institutions boost leverage in search of supersize profits and bonuses. Banks pretend that risk is eliminated because it's securitized. Rating agencies accept money to issue an imprimatur that turns out to be meaningless. The system teeters, and then the taxpayer rushes in to bail bankers out. Where's the accountability?
It's not just rabble-rousers at Occupy Wall Street who are seeking to put America's capitalists on a more capitalist footing.
Kristof writes, too, that some inequality is to be exepcted in a capitalist system, but too much is a bad thing. Quoting a Harvard professor:
... excessive inequality can have two perverse consequences: first, the very wealthy lobby for favors, contracts and bailouts that distort markets; and, second, growing inequality undermines the ability of the poorest to invest in their own education.
"These factors mean that high inequality can generate further high inequality and eventually poor economic growth," Professor Katz said.
What's smelly in all this isn't the Occupy protestors.
BTW: Another word of praise for the calm and, yes, dignified handling of the Occupy Little Rock protest by city officials. Elsewhere, patience and tempers have grown short about the 1st Amendment.

Hi, my name is Kim and I am addicted to books. See? I can admit it!!
As always, I love this latest installment in the Portland Storm series by Catherine Gayle! This is a shorter read, but it is a fantastic addition to the series!
Holiday Hat Trick is not on the ice this time, but takes place over the league-mandated holiday days off. It centers on a newer player, Mitch Quincey. He and his wife Mia have been divorced for several months, a decision that was Mia's. He is still desperately in love with her, but has realized that winning her back is a lost cause. So his focus this vacation is to get the last of his things, file for joint custody, and see his little girl as much as possible. I was in love with him from the moment he began to coo about his daughter!
I was prepared to dislike Mia, but I just couldn't. I didn't want to understand her position, because this is a man who clearly loved her and their daughter and who was a legitimately good guy. A good guy that she tossed aside. But as we got to know her, I realized that there were reasons that she did what she did, reasons that I could wholy understand.
This is the thing I love most about these books, besides the hockey!! That the stories revolve around real people with real issues. The same kind of issues we all may face at some point in our lives.
Things to love...
--Mitch as a dad. The love he had for his daughter was touching.
--Mia. I related and I understood how she felt.
--Mitch as an uncle. I loved how he was with the other kids in the story. As a mom myself, there is nothing sexier!
My Recommendation
While this could be read as a standalone, I love the series so much that I say... READ THEM ALL!!

You know those men that suddenly become comedians when your girl comes around? Yeah, I have two of those as my friends. On normal days, they are barely interesting enough to keep one from dozing. It is even worse when a girl comes around but they are not interested.
But, let a girl come around and she piques their interest, then suddenly they are outdoing themselves to make wise cracks. Seriously, I am not hating on these fellas, they are simply not that funny. The only reason I stick with them is because I have known them for ages. I am not friends with them because of their ability to entertain me. So, I do not expect them to crack me up or anything when we meet. We just have some drinks, and each one goes their way.
So you can imagine when one day, a girl who I had designs on decided to come join us that evening. Out of the blue, she called me, asked me where I was, and just like that, asked if she could join me. She did not even ask if I could pick her up. She did not even ask who I was with, and I did not volunteer the information.
The moment she walked in, the two men who had been sitting in a slouching after-work-position suddenly straightened up. And there were smiles allover, as each in his best imitation of a gentleman, greeted her and offered her his seat. They beat me to it. She took one of the men's seat which gave him an excuse to bring another and squeeze in right next to her, and finally, I had the chance of asking her how she was doing.
We talked for a few minutes before I realised that the two men were very attentively following our discussion. Noticing this, I decided to ignore them. But they were not ready to reciprocate and ignore us. One of them chipped in, offering her a drink. I realised I actually had not offered her a drink. She smiled at him, and asked for a cocktail which the other one repeated to the barman very suavely, yet the barman had heard her.
We were seated at the bar, right in front of the barman. The drink came. The one who had offered the drink used the excuse to start a conversation with her.
Getting the cue, the other one joined in. Before I knew it, the two men had edged me out, and were out-competing each other to impress the girl with their jokes and smooth talk. To me, it was not smooth talk. It was just rusty vibes of two men who do not get enough female attention and are trying to out-compete each other on who was funniest, forgetting that the girl was not even there to see any of them.
After some time, I got tired of the whole thing and told them that the girl and I were leaving. They nearly 'killed' me; objecting loudly, they insisted on how the girl was having fun, and how if I wanted to go, I could as well go alone since I had come alone anyway.
They would take care of her. I laughed. And asked for the bill; paid for my drinks and her cocktail. And then told her I was leaving. Well, it was her choice to make. She did not even think twice, she hopped off the bar stool and off we walked, without even a backward look.
I could hear them cursing me silently, but what made my day was when we reached outside and she said, "Phew, thank you. I was just about to leave. Who are those jokers and how do you even know them?" Laughing, I said, "I just met them in fact. One of them works for a company we do business with. I was just hanging with them for business." And just like that, I denied my very old friends.

Grab some tissues, WestJet has done it again.
Last year the Canada-based airline released a heartstring-tugging video that went viral that showed Santa asking travelers at an airport what they wanted for Christmas and surprising them at the baggage carousel with their wishes.
The company did a repeat performance in one of its most popular destinations: the Dominican Republic.
"Twas a day before Christmas, on a faraway isle. A small town where our friends live, a place full of smiles," starts WestJet's new video, which was released Monday. "Yes, we've been to this town many times before, but this time was different, there was a miracle in store."
The company built a blue sleigh and brought it in November to the Puerto Plata community of Nuevo Renacer on the northern part of the island.
When residents pressed a button next to a video screen on the sleigh, they found themselves in a video conference with Santa – dressed in company blue instead of red – who asked what they wanted this holiday season.
"I would like a washing machine," one woman said. A young girl asked for a doll; a young couple asked for a crib. One man – identified in the video only as Cristiano – wanted a horse for his carriage.
The company's volunteers then set out to get the gifts and threw a holiday part on the beach – complete with a Christmas tree and mounds of fake snow.
In addition to the party and the gifts, WestJet also unveiled a new playground in the community.
Renacar is one of the four places WestJet flies to in the Dominican Republic. Since 2012, the company has built 23 homes there as part of its charitable efforts with the charity Live Different.
In an additional video released Sunday, Corey Evans, manager of WestJet's sponsorship, community investment and experiential marketing group, said it's really important to them that the company is part of the long-term development of the area and its residents.

In 2005 more than four thousand parents were deprived of parental rights, as reported Yuri Pavlenko Minister for Family and Sport during today's press conference in Kyiv.
According to him, "about four thousand children were withdrawn from unfavourable families." Pavlenko noted that first of all it concerns cases of use of violence in a family.
At the same time he pointed out that the priority task of his department is to save families.
"We can't talk about creation of procedure of deprivation of parental rights. Our task is to keep as many children as possible in their native families," said the Minister. According to him, one of the tasks of his department is to help problem families.
Pavlenko noted that in accordance with President's decree local authorities must trace and prevent cases when both parents do not have a job. Pavlenko pointed out that social service registered more than 40 thousands families of this kind all over Ukraine. "Our task is to save a child, but to save a family for him as well," said the Minister.

Free-market movement slowly gains steam
Tadych: Transparency, doctor direct self-pay can lower health care costs dramatically
Editor's Note
The Lakeland Times will be producing a series of stories on the health care in our community and what it means to you. We hope this will engage the community to look at how not only how fortunate we are, what we can do better. It is our desire that when this series is complete that you, our readers, will be informed about how complex health care is and where it is headed in the future. If you have any topics you would like to explore, please send us an email at Health
firstname.lastname@example.com or call 715-356-5236 and ask for Evan.
Richard Moore
Investigative Reporter
As the national and local debate over health care continues to fester, mainstream Republicans and Democrats are boxing each other within a small ring of policy parameters, meaning they are mainly sparring over how much to fund or regulate within the existing health-care system, and arguing the finer points of how to lower health-insurance premiums, if they can.
In other words, policy makers are tweaking around the edges of what already exists.
But the basic foundation of the health-care system remains largely unchallenged: a three-constituent model of consumers, health-care providers, and the institutions that orchestrate the delivery of services from providers to consumers - and determine their pricing - namely, hospitals, insurance companies, and the government, the latter element forming a bureaucracy of care wherein decisions about pricing, protocols for care, and insurance requirements and choices are made.
The current debate is largely about the balance of power within the bureaucratic arrangement.
Just beyond the TV headlines, however, and growing in communities across the United States, is another health-care vision, a determined and alternative movement to restore the principles of the free market to the health-care industry.
In this world view, a free market would replace the institutional bureaucracy, or middle man, and restore a direct patient-to-doctor relationship in a streamlined and largely two-component, or direct, system.
The motor of the current model certainly is not market-fueled, those who advocate for this approach assert, saying the system in place is a government income-redistribution scheme in which insurance companies, brokers, and hospitals operate in secrecy, both to hide the real costs of health care and to camouflage massive transfer payments that are taken from certain sectors of society and given to other sectors, mainly through Medicare and Medicaid.
Nationally, such groups as the Free Market Medical Association and surgical centers such as the Surgery Center of Oklahoma are working to re-establish direct patient-to-doctor relationships, in which patients can pay doctors a transparent up-front fee for specific procedures and services, and to inject pricing transparency into the health-care model, which is critical, they say, to giving patients the information they need to choose quality and reasonable health care.
In the Lakeland area, a prominent advocate for the free-market patient-to-doctor movement is Dr. Kevin Tadych of Northern Wisconsin Bone & Joint, a board-certified orthopedic surgeon who is also part owner of Northwoods Surgery Center in Woodruff.
"We know health care is screwed up," Tadych told The Lakeland Times in a recent interview. "We all see it. It's a major problem. We have the most expensive health care in the world, yet our life expectancies are going down."
But, Tadych said, there's a silver lining out there, for patients and doctors alike.
"The good news is that a lot of doctors are waking up, and they are starting to realize that we can deliver health care at a fair and reasonable price, and patients love it," he said. "We get our lives back. We kick out all the bureaucracy, and the hopeful picture is, we can deliver health care. The movement is catching on. It's nationwide right now. It's not just money. It's good care and reasonable price. That's what we want."
According to a Heritage Foundation report, there were about 4,400 direct primary care physicians nationwide in 2014, compared to just 756 in 2010 and only 146 in 2005.
How it works
When a patient opts for the direct patient-to-doctor model, or direct primary care, the patient agrees to pay a posted price that more accurately reflects the true cost of the care than the charge incurred by going through insurance does. Patients pay for a single procedure or service, and in some settings they can pay a flat monthly fee for a range of services.
The patient wins with a lower price, quality care, and a direct relationship with the doctor, and also by escaping the matrix of mandated and often unnecessary tests and therapies insurance companies require before they will pay for certain procedures.
Meanwhile, the doctor still makes a healthy living but cuts the costs, time, and paperwork hassles associated with processing insurance claims.
Transparency is the key to it all, Tadych says.
"When you get yourself to a fair price, you're not ashamed of your price because this is what it takes to make a decent living, and you're not going to give your services for nothing," he said. "No one can do that. The reality is, when you don't post prices, you game the system."
People are hurt, Tadych says, and it's not just in the form of lower life spans.
"Are you really helping people when you help them physically but destroy them financially?" he asked. "That is not ideal, when people are broke and bankruptcy rates are going off the charts right now with Obamacare. Finances lead to broken up marriages and other bad things."
It's a senseless outcome when one considers that health care is not that expensive to deliver, Tadych said.
"But guess what is expensive? Insurance," he said. "The top paid CEOs in our nation right now are insurers. That's screwed up. At United Health Care, Stephen Hemsley makes $66.1 million. He makes $254,000 a day. He makes more in 10 minutes than 90 percent of the hard-working people who are actually making stuff make in a whole year. That's wrong."
Everything about insurance is too expensive, Tadych says, and that's where direct primary care comes in.
"The direct primary care model is like going to Cosco," he said. "OK, you get a membership fee and then you get all the wholesale prices. One doctor in Kansas is charging like a penny a pill for drugs, a dollar for a CBC (complete blood count), CT scans are $300 bucks. It's astounding how the prices come down."
On the other side of the equation, though insurance is more expensive, Tadych said, the health care it pays for is not helping to prolong lives.
"If you look at the Amish, they have no insurance at all, yet they live longer than the average person in America, and their life expectancy hasn't changed since the 1800s," he said. "They're still living to be 76, 78 years old. They're outliving all those with insurance."
The reality is, Tadych continued, insurance doesn't really make you live longer, yet it is sucking the wealth out of us.
"It's a huge middle man who is really not producing anything for our nation," he said. "They are preying off of, unfortunately, sick individuals. Not intentionally, but that's the reality of it."
So, Tadych said, his patients wanted something better.
"They come to me and they say, 'Doc, you guys have got to take back health care,'" he said. "They get gamed by the system. Insurance is just harder and harder to deal with in my 25 years of practice. I saw it happening gradually over the years. This hasn't just been this big black-and-white moment. The bureaucratic burden just kept coming on. There's an unethical, almost immoral, treatment of patients, (especially) after many pay around $1,000 a month with an almost $10,000 deductible."
Such insurance policies are really nothing more than expensive catastrophic policies, Tadych said, and, what's more, patients can't get the help they need easily or quickly.
"If someone wants to have an MRI, it's, 'No you can't have that.' First you have to have the therapy, and all this is expensive," he said.
The difference between the current insurance model and patients who go directly to the doctor like in the old days of TV's Marcus Welby is huge, Tadych said.
"When they came to see me for carpal tunnel syndrome, it's 'Yep, I can do your surgery today, in an hour,'" he said. "You could never do that with insurance. With my insurance patients, you have to have an expensive EMG test - that's a couple of thousand dollars - and it takes months."
A tale of two patients
Tadych compared the experiences of two of his patients, one who used insurance and the other who opted for the direct primary-care method.
In the direct primary-care situation, the patient asked Tadych if Tadych could perform carpal tunnel syndrome surgery without all the insurance mandated testing and therapy.
"I saw him and did the surgery and an hour later he went home, and for the first time in years he could feel his fingers," Tadych said. "He was back to work as a machinist within a week."
But that wasn't the case with the other patient, who chose the insurance route, Tadych said. The patient began his odyssey through the system one April.
"The other patient, I knew he needed carpal tunnel, but no, the insurance said he had to have an EMG," he said. "It took him months. It's a painful test and it's expensive. Then, it was 'No, you have to have therapy.' Then after several months of therapy you have to do a trial of drugs, splints. It was August by the time I got to do his surgery."
As a result, Tadych said, the patient developed a complication in his nerve, which Tadych said can happen with a compressed nerve.
"He didn't get back to work until December," he said. "His cost was up in the $10,000 range. The other guy, I charged $1,200. He wanted it done and he was happy. That's the difference of going direct, and that's what I've found, that if we take back health care, we can deal direct with our patients and have a patient-to-MD relationship the way it should be. And it just destroys cost."
Again, Tadych repeated, the key to the direct primary care model is transparency.
"The other thing you have to know to be a wise consumer, you have to post your prices," he said. "No market can function without your prices out there. And when you post your prices, the patient now has the ability to compare and understand and say, 'Hey I can get health care. It's not as expensive as I thought.'"
Tadych said he had looked at all his real numbers - took all his costs, direct and variable - and realized that when he jettisoned insurance, costs just came stumbling down.
On his website, on the page "Doctor Direct - Self-Pay Pricing," Tadych posts his prices - payment is demanded in full when services are provided - and explains how he can keep those prices so low: "We are able to offer these low prices due to the lack of expense in processing the claims, coordinating prior authorizations and coverage determinations as well as absence of risk for non-payment."
Those who choose the traditional insurance route and have Tadych file insurance claims are not eligible for the lower prices, but, for direct-pay patients, Tadych provides receipts and visit notes for those who want to submit to their insurance companies for potential reimbursement of eligible costs.
His website lists an example of the pricing difference for a new patient office visit. His average total cash price for a direct-pay visit is $159, while the average price billed to an insurance company is $300, according to the website.
Tadych also cited Dr. Keith Smith, a co-founder of the Surgery Center of Oklahoma, who has estimated that he can bring his price down on average 10 times from the insurance company charge.
"That's how much the middle man is driving the cost up above," Tadych said. "And the hoops we have to jump through as a provider to comply to deal with this, the time factors, everything, just takes the costs way off the charts."
In addition, he said, when there is a middle man and the prices aren't posted, the game becomes how much can I get out of insurance as opposed to what is my cost.
And it's only getting worse, Tadych said.
"Now they are looking at narrow networks so if you have this insurance, you can't even go see this doctor," he said. "They are looking at how they are going to control costs with what's called MACRA (Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act of 2015). It's the new thing, but it's basically cookbook medicine. You have to follow this, this, and this, and if you don't do all these steps, you can't go on to the big procedure. So all this stuff is just coming to a head right now."
The bigger picture
Of course, the bigger health-care picture involves much larger institutions and much larger economies of scale in health-care purchasing, and Tadych explained how that works with the middle-man system.
"There's a buyer," he said. "Let's say it's an employer and he's self-funded. He gets so much health care for his employees and they cover that amount. He needs to come to the seller of health care, which is me, but what they do is they usually end up going through a middle man. They usually go through a health-care broker, and the broker, because the prices aren't posted, he says, well,
'Dr. Tadych typically wants
$10,000 for a carpal tunnel, but guess what? I got him down to $5,000.
So you get a 50-percent discount
if you go through us.' So the employer is like, 'Wow, this is great. I could never have done this myself.' So then the broker comes to me and says,
'I've got all these employees and
I'm going to give you 80 percent in Medicare.' That is about 80 percent
of a $300 charge, so they want to give me $240 to do a carpal tunnel
The thing is, Tadych says, he doesn't charge $10,000 or even $5,000 for a carpal tunnel surgery.
"What the buyer of health care doesn't know is what the seller really would say is, 'Hey I'm willing to do these things for under $2,000,'" he said. "Yet he thinks I really want $5,000 because there is no posting, so no one knows. If I only went to him directly and said, 'Here's my prices,' he would know right away that this guy in the middle is gaming the system. It's the perfect trifecta."
Cutting out that middle man would save millions of dollars, both for employers and employees, Tadych says.
Then, too, there are hospitals and big health-care systems, and they don't like to compete on price, Tadych said.
"You have to look at what are they maintaining," he said. "They've got big facilities. They've got a lot of staff and administration. There are a lot of things in a big system that don't generate any revenue. So they are income redistributing to those things, and the bigger the system, the less likely they want to build this model of price transparency because, yeah, if you can get $5,000 MRIs, that can float a lot of stuff. But all of a sudden you're competing with Smart Choice, who is down to $580, and they are making huge waves in this state. That takes a lot of revenue out and it makes it very tough."
The truth is, Tadych says, institutions in the current system have to increase prices in a lot of ways to try and get revenue on the commercial side to pay for those sides that don't make money and in fact lose money, which, he says, is generally Medicare and Medicaid.
"I was getting $18 a visit to see a Medicaid patient," he said. "That is far below my costs. I figure is was just better to do it free. Why take that blood money?"
The three Cs
So what would a direct primary care, free-market system look like overall, and how does that movement gain traction?
"I really like what Ben Carson offered, very high HSA (health savings accounts) savings that allow all the smaller stuff, the non-major non-emergency things - not the car crash, not the cancer - to be dealt with, which, by the way, is the bulk of health care," Tadych said. "That's where 90 percent of all health care is done."
Then, Tadych said, you have to have catastrophic policies to cover the majors.
"Think of it of it as homeowners' insurance," he said. "If you're
thinking of getting your painting
done, your toilets fixed, or your yard cut, you're not going to get a reasonable homeowners' yearly fee. Most people don't complain about homeowners. It's not that expensive and it's for the big tornado, fire, what have you. It's a shared pool of money. It works."
And those kinds of coverages can be established through co-ops, too, Tadych said.
"We used to do that a lot in the 40s and 50s," he said. "Especially in the black community. Blacks were big co-opers before Medicare came along. That community type of thing worked, and that's what insurance should be, a kind of community effort to cover the real catastrophic things and then you have to let people be the voters of what health care should be."
When patients come to see him and see his price, Tadych said, they are effectively voting.
"They are saying I want your services more than I want this money in my hand," he said. "And I'm saying, 'I'll give my services for your dollar as a fair exchange.' You vote every time you decide to buy health care when it is posted."
In the end, Tadych said, a common-sense health-care system is pretty straightforward.
"The three Cs really make all the sense," he said. "It's cash for the most part, and catastrophic health insurance for all the big stuff, and charity. A foundation is a charity. People give to good causes. And it does work. Americans still have it. They want to help people."

In this class we create some very tasty Asian-inspired recipes while using two of my favourite pieces of equipment. The spiralizer and the pressure cooker are fundamental pieces in my kitchen which save me time and make it easier for me to create healthy and delicious food. While all the recipes and concepts covered in this class can be replicated very successfully without these pieces of equipment, I will show you why I love them so much. In doing so we will create some fantastic whole food recipes that will do well to sustain and satisfy.

LONDON - Less than two weeks after announcing its world-shaking merger with America Online, Time Warner has negotiated another mega-merger that would give the entertainment juggernaut control of British music giant EMI Group, home to the Beatles and Rolling Stones, sources said.
The sources value the combined companies at $20 billion.
The deal, expected to be announced Monday in London, would merge Time Warner's music division with EMI to create the world's second-largest music conglomerate. It would instantly transform the landscape of the global record business by shrinking the number of major competitors from five to four.

Cancer Symptoms and Treatment for Dogs
Posted on February 23, 2017 at 1:53 pm by Dr. Rukshin Master / Dogs, Pet Wellness, Uncategorized, Worldwide / 0
The dreaded diagnosis. It might be more traumatic to learn of your dog diagnosed with cancer than yourself. The reason? We anthropomorphise our animals and they are a part of our family, our routines and lives. What can you do to prevent and recognise the symptoms or warning signs of cancer? Here's a list. As always, you know your animal best, as does your veterinarian. These guidelines and information are meant to aid – not to be used to self diagnose and treat. Dr. Master has some insights.

very very nice picture.
but without tracability it is difficult to determinate the real name .
you have buy this heliamphora on this name ' neblinae variant ' not like 'neblinae var parva'?
H.huberi is not a H.neblinae species but a real separate species ( see here heliamphora) with their morphological caracters .

It is a "H. neblinae" from A. Wistuba
I purchased it from him a year or two ago
spectacular pics mate. wow! Dang mate. You have topped yourself again. I love the colour of those helps. Just impeccable.
ah OK
how old ?how high?
I have some problem with this H.neblinae , I can not find their morphological caracters , for me the real H.neblinae nectar spoon are more in spade form with a fastener more narrow.
It is still a young plant.... only been producing mature pitchers in the last 6 months, so mature size is still yet to be known.
Personally, I agree and feel this is an unique species seperate from typcial H. neblinae. It is also my understanding that this species is only found on the Brazil side of Pico de Neblina..... which I believe is also unique among Heliamphora.
Until something "officially" changes, all I can call it is what it is historically known as.... H. neblinae (Wistuba)
