During its last 372 years, the fate of the Byzantine Empire increasingly depended upon western Europe. The flood of crusaders first made the Byzantines uneasy and ultimately destroyed them. From 1204 to 1261, while the Byzantine government was in exile from its own capital, its chief aim was to drive out the hated Latins. But even after the Byzantine leaders had recaptured Constantinople in 1261, they still could not shake off the West.
The Western attitude is revealed in the crisp words of the great fourteenth-century Italian poet Petrarch:
I do not know whether it is worse to have lost Jerusalem or to possess Byzantium. In the former Christ is not recognized; in the latter he is neglected while being worshiped. The Turks are enemies but the schismatic Greeks are worse than enemies. The Turks openly attack our Empire [the Empire of the West]; the Greeks say that the Roman Church is their mother, to whom they are devoted sons; but they do not receive the commands of the Roman pontiff. The Turks hate us because they fear us less. The Greeks both hate and fear us deep in their bellies."
The Greek attitude is revealed by a fifteenth-century Greek churchman who said that he would rather see the turban of the Turk in Constantinople than the red hat of a cardinal. Those who shared this opinion got their wish in 1453. One of the great ironies of history is that the fate of Eastern Christendom was settled by Western Christendom, and that the Muslim rule that the Latin West had sought to roll back was vastly extended by Western Christians.

No one hotel and restaurant can magically transform an entire city. But the Hard Rock Hotel is likely a game changer for the beachside as a whole, as well as the South Atlantic neighborhood.
The Hard Rock Hotel that will soon rise on a 10-acre lot along South Atlantic Avenue in Daytona Beach will change the neighborhood and the entire business area. The changes could go a long way in transforming Daytona Beach's pockmarked beachside into a better place to do business — and to live.
The area will indeed see a boost in commerce and activity, not just on the unused lot but through the entire beachfront area stretching from Ocean Walk Shoppes to Silver Beach Avenue.
It will see more tourists on the beach — tourists with cash to spend.
An added benefit will be a synergy created along South Atlantic Avenue, especially among businesses and property owners who are in the newfound position of having their property located near one of Daytona Beach's top hotels. It's likely the city will see vacant storefronts and shops near the lot suddenly get new owners and new tenants — newcomers with plans to renovate the buildings.
And the overall beachside area should get a psychological lift. That could ripple through neighborhoods and improve residential property values.
No one hotel and restaurant can magically transform an entire city. But the Hard Rock Hotel is likely a game changer for the beachside as a whole, as well as the South Atlantic neighborhood.
Construction will begin on the two-tower hotel and condominium development in early 2014 on land that has been unused for 10 years. The lot sits against the beach, across from the intersection of Lenox Avenue and South Atlantic Avenue/A1A.
Neighborhood residents are concerned about the changes. The developers, Bayshore Capital Inc. of Toronto, have acknowledged those concerns and are working to allay them.
The major concern is that a 60-foot-wide access point to the beach will be turned into a 15-foot-wide approach for pedestrians and bicyclists. To mitigate that reduction, the developers will add an access point south of the development.
Car traffic is another concern of those in the South Atlantic Neighborhood Association. Some worry that drivers will use the residential side streets to zip to the Hard Rock. Yet South Atlantic Avenue already has businesses and attractions that might make motorists do that now. For the most part, it hasn't been a problem, and it doesn't have to be in the future if the city and the hotel plan for the new traffic.
Developers are thinking of adding speed bumps to Lenox Avenue to calm traffic and discourage overuse of the side streets. Bayshore has also donated $2,000 for improvements to Lenox Park.
The developers are already proving to be good neighbors. That's an encouraging sign, because this is no small enterprise. The first phase will be the construction of a $100 million hotel tower as high as 33 stories. It will have a 28,000-square-foot ballroom. The Hard Rock Caf� will sit on land just north of the tower.
The second phase will come in five to 10 years and add more hotel and condominium units. In total, 950 hotel-room and condo units are planned. As many as 300 new jobs could be created.
The Hard Rock brand is located in some of the top tourist cities across the country. Having a Hard Rock in Daytona Beach is a big endorsement of the city as a tourist draw.
The potential benefits go beyond new construction and related jobs. A change in the fortunes of the beachside core of the city could make life better for residents and open up new opportunities for development on a smaller and more comfortable scale.

God is so good to me! I have some of the best friends ever! My girl, Lisa, is one of them! We have been through thick and thin together. Literally! She was one of my first running partners... uh hum...
We did a 5 k back in the day : )
God put her in my life just in time.... He used her to help me through some difficult times when we were facing infertility.. ugh, that was hard. When my husband could not go to the doctor's appointments with me, she was there. Right next to me asking all the hard questions. When I got the call that I was not pregnant AGAIN, she was there for me to cry on her shoulder. One time I was actually at her house for an annual cookie exchange that we have done for about 20 years when I got the call. The picture above is of my girlie girl with Lisa making her home made italian cookies at our last cookie exchange.
Now, we are raising our kids together...the Lord answered our prayers. Our boys are the same age and have been best buds for life. I always go to her when I need to talk about what to do with our kiddos.
Oh, and did I mention, she is the reason I started home schooling? And on good days I am thankful for that... but on bad days, I blame her. (Keeping it real!)
Most importantly, Lisa is an awesome example to me! She is a wonderful wife, incredible mother and is SOLD OUT to Jesus!
Can you tell I LOVE HER???
oh, and by the way, Lisa can you watch my kids???
Just saying!

I recently entered Prototypes front cover competition for their Nostalgia issue. I was lucky enough to be made a finalist, although I didn't win it was fantastic to be a part of! My image was based on the nostalgic memories of my childhood holidays. I would spend hours collecting funny coloured seaweed, shells, stones and odd things which get washed up along the British coastline.

This is a movie based on a true story. Oskar Schindler is a very successful business man. He had good people skills that gave him an advantage to make friends with those high ranking German officers very easily. He played as the hero of this movie to save the Jews from the Germans. Schindler had save more than a thousand Jews by buying them from the hands of the Germans. In the Jewish's eyes, his factory was being describe as the heaven or the Ark of Noah because they do not need to suffer from the German in his factory.
In the memory of Oskar Schindler
In this movie there are two psychological concept that can be notice which is the Resilience and The Lucifer Effect. I will start with the first concept which is the resilience. Resilience means that the tendency to cope with stress and might have the risk of relapse. In the movie, Amon Goeth was being persuaded by Schindler to not use violence in displaying the sense of being someone with power. He was being persuaded and stop to use violence in a few scene later. However, after some time relapse of his old personality reappear. This had showed that relapse may happens even the behavior had changed for a short period of time only.
In the concept of The Lucifer Effect, it state that even good people sometimes can turn evil and commit incredible act that may be wrong. In the movie, all the German soldiers were being given order to eliminate the Jews. Why will they kill the Jews by just simply put the bullet in one's head with thinking the consequences about it? How can they be so cruel? In the study of Milgram on obedience he found that people will follow order blindly when the order is given from the authority that have power over them. Yet, there is still people resists the orders when they think what they are doing is wrong. Back to the Lucifer Effect, Phillip Zimbardo had conduct an experiment which is know as the prisoner's experiment to study on this. He found that when people are being possessed with power, they will change their behavior. In his experiment, the prison guards were instructed to pretend to act like a guard but they had really express out their evil side instead of just pretending to be one. This had showed that when people is given power they will do something unbelievable with their authority power.
This movie was shown on a Good Friday and after this movie something just struck me. In this story Oskar Schindler spend all his wealth to save the Jews and he end up bankrupt and fleeing from the allied force. It reminds me of what Jesus Christ had done for us, he sacrifice himself for us even his life to save the entire human race. I will then end my words here. Happy Easter!!! =)

I've been asked to represent one of my friends in an administrative matter. He's only starting to grasp the magnitude of his error.
I filled out the paperwork, went to his office yesterday for his signature and we went to the department to file our documentation. He and I got shuffled around from office to office until we finally get latched up with, as best as I can tell, is the boss of this governmental office:
Boss: How can I help you?As we were leaving the area and heading back to my friend's office, we passed an Illinois State Trooper. I walked up to him, pointed to my friend and whispered: "He didn't pay his taxes, please arrest him."
Me: He didn't pay his taxes, arrest him.
Friend: ALLEGEDLY!
Me: Big time criminal here, arrest him.
Friend: Some sort of lawyer you are.
Who needs legal help? Anybody? Hello???

After all, salad dressing is loaded with fat and salt so therefore an entire salad meal should be bad for us. "Ridiculous," any nutritionist would say. Likewise, a dash of Nesquick or Ovaltine doesn't take away any of the nutrients or protein in a glass of milk.
Throughout middle school and high school I ate a greasy chocolate chip cookie, a bag of raw mushrooms, and 2 pints of chocolate milk for lunch. Guess which item was brought from home?
Lately the school district of Chicago has decreed that their food is somewhat superior to mom-made meals and has banned brown bagged lunches. Other schools have warned local shops not to sell snacks to kids. Having never had children in government schools, it was news to me that the standard lunch of pb & j is not allowed due to allergies and homemade treats for birthdays or class parties are refused as well. Between the cost and quality of institutional food, I'm glad we homeschool and we have the added benefit of not having a cafeteria lady glaring at us for spooning a little chocolate syrup into our glasses.
School lunches and childhood nutrition have been the subject of much debate in recent
years, prompting heated arguments over whether or not governments and schools
should regulate what children are allowed to eat. Last year, some schools across
the country banned chocolate milk, saying that it was too high in sugar and fat, and that healthier, lower calorie
alternatives should be substituted. The move was applauded by some, but
protested by others.
The Washington Post reports the 2009 chocolate milk ban in
Fairfax County, Va. sparked outrage from parents who felt that the calcium-rich
beverage shouldn't be outlawed. Responding to months of calls
and emails, district officials have announced they will reintroduce chocolate
milk in local cafeterias. Huffington Post

should we ban salads too?

Taos A to Z Excerpt: Duster
The original dusters were full-length, light-colored canvas or linen coats worn by horsemen to protect their clothing from trail dust. These dusters were typically slit up the back to hip level for ease of wear on horseback. At the turn of the 20th century, both men and women wore dusters to protect their clothes when riding in open motorcars on dirt roads. Western horsemen's dusters gained renewed popularity in the late 20th century, primarily through the J. Peterman catalog, and are now a standard item of Western wear. They figured little in Western films, until Sergio Leone reintroduced them in his movies "The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly" and "Once Upon a Time in the West." The duster was also worn by some of the characters in the movie "Silverado" and the TV mini-series "Lonesome Dove." ~Jean

If you find dark purple bruises on your skin after a physical accident such as stumble, traffic accident or collision, you are likely to have hematoma. When you are injured, the blood vessels can be ruptured, causing the leak of the blood into tissues where it does not belong. Hematoma appears when there is a collection of blood, usually clotted outside of blood vessels, is formed.
Some of the most common symptoms of hematoma include pain, swelling or even headaches. How to treat hematoma depends on how serious your injury is. Some hematoma is really damaging and requires surgical intervention and drainage. However, some is less worrying and you can heal it with natural remedies and a healthy diet.
This article will provide you useful information on how to heal a hematoma naturally.
- Cold Compress
This is a simple yet very effective home remedy for hematoma sufferers. The coldness provides relief from pain and reduces swelling by slowing down the blood flow and preventing the accumulation of blood.
Please be noted that this remedy should be applied on early onset of injury, within 24-48 hours. Repeat 4 to 8 times a day and keep it on your skin for no more than 15 to 20 minutes.
- Warm Compress
Warm compress is suitable for healing hematoma during recovery phase. A perfect temperature for a warm compress is about 37- 40 Celsius degree. The warmth dilates the blood vessels very well, thus improving not only blood circulation but also nutrient delivery to the affected area. The warm sensation also relieves that pain caused by hematoma.
- Vitamin C
Vitamin C makes a perfect remedy for hematoma thanks to its potent antioxidants which are able to naturally enhance your immunity and help repair damaged tissues, especially the blood vessels. If you are prone to bruises and hematoma, you should reconsider your daily vitamin C intake because a deficiency Vitamin C can be blamed for the increased likelihood of getting those problems.
Vitamin C can be found abundantly in citrus fruits, guavas, cayenne pepper, strawberries, dark leafy greens, etc. You can consume Vitamin C in supplement form.
- Turmeric
Turmeric deserves a spot in this list. Its powerful anti-inflammatory and antiseptic properties have been long believed to prevent further infection and inflammation of hematoma. Turmeric stimulates the blood flow and dissolves stasis and bruises.
You can benefit from turmeric by either massaging the affected area with a mixture of grind turmeric and alum, or drinking the cup with warm milk mixed with a table spoon of turmeric powder.
- Cabbage
This time tested remedy is employed a long time ago to treat hematoma. Phytonutrients and vitamins in cabbage are packed with anti-inflammatory properties and anti-bruising agents. Cabbage leaves will remarkably reduce bruising and swelling as well as relieve pain associated with it.
Squeeze and get the juice from a cabbage leaf and apply it to the affected area using a cotton ball.
- Witch Hazel
This North American herb has a proven history of treating hematoma. The astringent and anti-inflammatory properties in witch hazel are so effective in preventing further inflammation, providing relief from pain and promoting the healing of damaged tissues.
- Essential Oils
Massaging the hematoma area with essential oil can speed up the healing in many ways. It helps break down the blood clot in improve blood circulation necessary for the healing. At the same time, essential's oil soothing and healing properties are easily absorbed into the skin, calming the pain considerably.
Some effective essential oils that stand out include rosemary, lavender, lemongrass, cypress. Noticeable relief can be detected by the following day.
- Aloe Vera and Parsley
This combination can do wonders for the healing of hematoma. While Aloe Vera supports the blood vessel rehabilitation and prevent inflammation; parsley provides ultimate help in restoring, strengthening the capillary walls as well as relieving pain.
All you need is to make a mixture from Aloe Vera gel and parsley leaves and apply it to the affected area 2 to 3 times a day until the hematoma shows healing signs.
- Water
Maintaining well-hydrated is of great importance in the healing of hematoma. Make sure you drink enough of water, up to 2 to 2.5 liters a day. Water makes a good detoxifier that flushes away toxins in your body and aids in break down the blood clot.
- Elevate theInjury and Rest Well
To avoid irritate and prevent further damages of the injured part, it is important that you immobilize and rest well. Using pillows or blankets to keep the area elevated is also necessary. This action will limit the blood flow to the area and stop the blood accumulation. It would be best to keep it above the level of your heart.

Getting More out of Question Four: "Fear of Four"
Question Four of The Work of Byron Katie is, "Who would you be without this thought?
Sometimes it feels difficult to answer this question. When inquiring into a particularly old, sticky, and fear-based belief, even after some inquiry, we may still believe it. In some cases, we are virtually identified with it. As anyone who dragged around a ratty security blanket in early childhood knows, it can be frightening to move away from something we've held onto for so long.
Let's look at a universal belief: "Something terrible is going to happen." Often, we'll have that thought after something "terrible" has already happened, from an argument or an earthquake. Some of us are anticipating having a bad time over the holidays, whether we're going to be with family, or on our own, based on past experience. (Mom and Sis are going to fight; Uncle Joe's going to get drunk and make a pass at me; I'll be miserable here at home by myself, and my depression will return; the traffic out of the city will be horrendous, and it means that we're going to be late, and it means that...blah, blah, blah.) Remember, fear is always a story of the past, projected into a story of the nonexistent future...and neither past nor future exist now, so when we're afraid, we are by-passing present moment awareness, and making a lot of assumptions.
A "payoff" of holding a stressful thought might be preparedness, or protection. Without this escape clause, we think we won't be okay. So if we're believing what we think, "Who would you be without this thought?" could look like, "I would be toast...completely vulnerable and unprotected." "I would be a stupid doormat; they'd walk all over me if I didn't believe this." "I'd be in denial, and then I wouldn't know what to do if something goes wrong."
That's the good old reliable "I know" mind, doing it's job...which is to resist looking at any possibilities, for fear of annihilation. If mind questioned itself, it may come to see that it doesn't exist. That's more frightening to the mind, or ego, than any other disaster.
I like to remind my clients that they don't have to drop their beliefs, that this is not even possible; at the end of the session, they are welcome to gather up their toys and take them home, if they still want them. This reassurance helps some of us to feel safer to take a peek behind the barriers of "yeah but," "what if," and "I already know that/I tried it before and it doesn't work." The point of no-return only occurs right on time. Tattered and useless as it is rapidly becoming, no one's going to wrest the security blanket away before we're ready.
So if there were no adverse consequences to simply taking a look, who would you be without the thought, "Something terrible is going to happen?"
Some possibilities: I'd be out of another's business. (God's/reality's business, in case of earthquake; other person's business, in case of an argument). I would notice I am okay in this moment; still breathing. I would show up fully, available, present, a listener, an observer, a student. I would be creative, open, curious, positive, proactive.
In these possibilities, in the absence of the stressful belief, there is no resistance, and with no resistance, there is no fear. And now we can take an honest look at the turnarounds, which provide the rest of the story, the part we could not see before inquiring into the truth.
NOTE: In future posts I will continue to discuss how to get more mileage out of Question Four. I welcome your comments and suggestions.

Hi, Carol! Thanks for the link to my blog.
Reading this posting makes me think of my fear of flying on airplanes. I've had a few real unpleasant claustrophobic episodes in the past.
In the last couple years, I've found that if I'm just aware that the fear is made of thinking, it makes it all manageable, and in fact the fear may even disappear more quickly. Sure, in addition to the thinking, claustrophobia has other stuff like elevated heartbeat etc associated with it. But when I look at stuff like that just as body sensations, and don't connect them with a belief in the fear-thinking, they're not a problem.

To answer that question over 200 young people and policy makers from across Europe met at the EU Youth Conference held in Malta (20-23 March 2017) and developed a concrete action plan for use by Member States
Do you feel your views are not being heard by policy makers? DEEP-Linking Youth has developed a social media monitoring platform to connect EU policy makers with the challenges faced by young Europeans.
The European Union set a target of reducing poverty by 20 million people. To this end the EU establishes guidelines, has a coordinating role of the Member States and provides funds.
En cada comunidad autónoma se creará una embajada encargada de organizar encuentros entre jóvenes y decisores políticos.
El pasado 18 de junio, en la sede de la Mancomunidad Comarca de la Sidra (Nava-Asturias), la treintena de chicos y chicas participantes en el Diálogo estructurado ConversAcciones
It feels as if in these times being young is more an excuse than an opportunity. Not many young people seem to be encouraged to participate or try to be part of a society which rather than helping us to be part of it, deny us.
This program was created with the aspiration to be a key tool for promoting the active participation of youth in the European Union since democratic and articulated key.
Youth representatives, together with representatives from member states reflected on two fundamental dimensions of youth policies: the access to rights as well the autonomy for young people.
El cuarto ciclo del diálogo estructurado está en pleno desarrollo y tiene como prioridad absoluta el tema de la importancia de la participación política de la juventud.
The social inclusion of young people: priority in the Presidency Trio 2013-2014. Youth participation through structured dialogue.

Alumni Profile
Victoria Dugas (Baton Rouge, LA)
Louisiana State University
What are your research interest(s)?
I did a lot of research with the effects the BP oil spill had on the atmosphere in the gulf region. The research we did peaked my interest into other environmental research.
What are your Interests outside of school and research? What do you like to do for FUN?
I love reading a good book. I could spend hours reading and not even realize it. I also love going boating with all my friends and watching them wakeboard.
How did you hear about the ACCESS program? Why did you apply?
I heard about the ACCESS program through one of my professors. I had talked to him about wanting to go to graduate school after my undergraduate and he told me this program would be great at helping me decide if that's what I really want for myself.
What were some interesting/fun things you did at ACCESS and/or people you met?
One of my favorite things we did was learning about the chemical engineering graduate program at MIT. That program really inspired me to do more with chemical engineering than just an undergrad.
What was your favorite part of the weekend and why?
My favorite part was meeting all the other people there. It was interesting to see how different Boston was from Baton Rouge. I even got to meet some people that went to MIT that are Louisiana natives.
Prior to attending ACCESS, did you have plans to apply for Graduate School? How did ACCESS impact your decision?
The ACCESS program helped me decide that I want to go to graduate school one day but I want to gain experience in industry before I try to pursue my PhD.
Are you planning on applying to/attending Graduate School now? If so where?
I am not planning on attending graduate school immediately after graduation.
Where do you see yourself in 5 years? 10 years?
In 5 years I can seem myself trying to pursue my after I've gained the industry experience I wanted to gain. In 10 years I could see myself maybe getting close to earning my PhD.


text: Today is my day to share a Cricut project with everyone. For this project I created a super simple card (it was Diane's birthday a while back). I know Diane likes the Miracle paper so I used some of it for the background of my birthday card. I then cut a gift from Sweet Treats at 3.35" (as measured by the Gypsy). I added a little silver sparkle on the circles and the bow. Very Very Simple!

Spending a glorious time in the army, Super Junior's Leeteuk sent a letter to SBS′ Strong Heart.
On December 11's broadcast, Boom revealed that Leeteuk sent the cast a handwritten letter that began with, "This is number 85 private, Park Jung Soo, who left his hallyu star title to become a strong and youthful Korean man."
Despite his absence on the show, Leeteuk drew in laughter, predicting the reactions of the cast members and even making fun of some of them.
"Whenever I lie down to sleep at 10 PM, I think about Shin Dong Yeop's rated-R comments and can't sleep," said Leeteuk. "I'm going nuts here, just imagining everything."
He warned Eunhyuk that his time will soon come and pre-congratulated Lee Dong Wook on his entertainment rookie award. He told Boom to come visit, but not alone.
"I've also learned something new at the army," said Leeteuk. "My colleagues think Jung Joori and Park Kyung Lim are pretty. It was a shocker."
He ended the letter with, "Will July 24, 2014 ever come?" drawing laughter from everyone in the studio.
cr: enewsworld
This one is interesting: "He told Boom to come visit, but not alone." Is this a code? Hahaha #delusional :p

Billie Thompson
Software Developer
- 9 years experience
I have been working with PHP since before 2010, though this is when my professional experience started. Typically I help companies develop additional microservices with Restful web interfaces, and give them advice on testing, deploying and maintaining them. As most companies have slightly different stacks I have had a reasonable amount of experience with most frameworks. I can also help you do more complicated things such as interoperate with queues, databases and caches, optimize your code by identifying the slowest parts using profilers, introduce a TDD and BDD approach to your development, and over advice about making your code reusable. Typically I work with Silex for smaller projects, although I have worked Slim previously. For larger projects I tend to use Symfony, however I have used ZF2, and Laravel
- 2 years experience
I have lead a team of developers developing a number of restful web services in Dropwizard. It was developed in a BDD and Agile style. Also some years ago now I help develop an application in Broadleaf (based on Spring MVC).
- 4 years experience
I have been in a number of projects with Node.JS components in them. Typically these exist in a middleware layer between APIs and the frontend. These normally use express I have also worked with using Node.JS to consume from queues perform work. There was also a talk I did about using Node.JS as a middleware layer between AngularJS and Silex that was at PHPUK 2015.
- 8 years experience
I have been working with git for more or less all my time in software development, I can show you how to re-order and edit commits, how to use git bisect to find the commit that broke something faster, how to sign tags and commits with your PGP key so you can validate who reviewed them.
- 3 years experience
I have developed search engines in PHP and ElasticSearch 3 times. This ranges from basic weighted searches including common document content (PDF, DOCX, and similar) to more complicated searches with support for type-ahead, and results influenced by user actions (such as page views). I also have experience creating a reusable RESTful interface for these sorts of search systems.
- 5 years experience
Typically I work with RabbitMQ, and AMQP from PHP or NodeJS, I have however worked with it from Java too. The work I have done with queues comes in three flavours. The first is the most common use-case which is to smooth request spikes and troughs by having things put into queues and processed when we have capacity. This could be capacity we can expand by throwing more hardware at a problem, but also capacity that is enforced by things like rate limiting. The next kind is implementation of circuit breaker patterns in order to prevent cascading network effects, or implement retries and failure handling in a generic way. The final kind I have implemented is a parallel processing system used for fraud detection which took into account things like frequency of actions in order to detect suspicious behaviours.
- 3 years experience
I also have experience working on the DevOps side of things. This experience includes (in order of oldest to newest) Vagrant, Puppet, Ansible, Docker, and Kubernetes I have used Vagrant for many years and I am more than happy helping you get a Dev vagrant box setup. I also have experience working with configuration management systems such as Puppet and Ansible, and I have used them to create easily manageable server configurations. Most recently I have been working with Docker and Kubernetes to manage my servers and can show you how to host a multi-machine docker cluster using kubernetes cluster.
Linking Docker Containers
This tutorial will teach you how to create and link docker containers.

A FEW weeks ago, in the middle of an emergency nappy change, I accidentally smeared poo all over my face.
I'm still not sure how it happened, but I'm blaming a combination of fatigue, deluded optimism about the state of my infant's clothes and that we were running late.
Pre-child this life event would have left me huddled in the corner. Post, I hit the antibacterial wash hard and carried on as normal. Forget the I'm a Celebrity tucker trials. Parents have the monopoly on things that make you go ewwww.
Here are the top five grossest things about being a mum:
I know childbirth is ultimately a natural, beautiful, experience, but do we really have to suffer this particular indignity? Isn't the nudity, pain and blood enough?
When it's time to push, most midwives will tell you to imagine you're doing a big poo. It's advice which will definitely help bring your little one into the world but there's the obvious, unfortunate, side-effect. While the medical staff will try to discreetly wipe away any unwanted extras, it's worth remembering this happens to most women during labour.
You may just want to reconsider inviting uncle Bob in to film the birth.
Speaking of a loss of bodily functions, most post-partum ladies will suffer from low level incontinence. It begins with antenatal classes on Kegels and ends with a puddle on the floor, or at least some minor leakage.
Throughout my pregnancy, I fully intended to sit on the train to work every day, clenching my vagina and avoiding eye contact with strangers. Instead, I spent it standing and glaring at commuters who wouldn't give me their seat.
Having a baby wrecks your pelvic floor which means there will be at least one occasion you don't quite make it to the loo. Once the damage is done, most mums will start taking their pelvic push ups seriously. The good news is the damage can be fixed, but you'll never look at a Tena commercial the same way again.
Shrugging off shoulder spew is nothing for most mums, dads, uncles, aunts and grandparents. Regurgitation is very much the norm for young infants, and cleaning up with a wet wipe quickly becomes second nature. But this is a low level introduction.
As your child gets older they will try to stick everything in their mouth. After months of trying to chew anything from iPhone cables to cat food, your progeny will finally ingest something their stomach can't handle. And they will throw it all up … over you.
Seeing your baby vomit like this is extremely upsetting so you won't actually care about getting covered in puke. Your maternal side will provide cuddles, pats and comfort while the pragmatist in you will just be glad there's no sick to clean out of the sofa.
There's one inevitable incident that fills most parents with dread — the bath time turd. As your baby gets bigger so does the problem. They move from the plastic infant tub to your full grown ceramic version.
Often, it's easier to jump in the bath with them instead of waving a sponge about like a demented giraffe. And the day will arrive when you and your child are left, literally, swimming in s**t.
A code brown is not just traumatic, it's also an awful lot of work. Poo particles need to be washed off both of you. Toys need to be disinfected, the bathtub scrubbed and you will absolutely find yourself screaming: "NO, DON'T PUT THAT IN YOUR MOUTH!"
A baby can't blow its own nose. This doesn't prompt much thought until your child gets his or her first cold. Because decongestants are out for infants and a saline spray will only partially clear the decks. The only way to really help your baby unblock their airways is to suck out the snot.
A quick dip into the wonderful world of online parenting reveals much discussion on the topic. One nostril at a time or both at once? Spit or swallow? Even the mum or dad with the strongest of stomachs may baulk at this particular challenge.
Luckily we live in the world of late night infomercials and there are a number of gizmos to help you win the battle of the booger. The BoogieBulb and SnuffleBabe both let you siphon the mucus, without getting any in your mouth. But the king of the nasal aspirators is the NoseFrida. It's made in Sweden and they even have an expensive looking video …
Maybe I can get one at Ikea.

Our butterfly "hatched" today! What's the real word for that? emerged? Anyways, I missed it coming out, but I got quite a few pictures while it hung around waiting for it's wings to unfurl and dry out :-)
In other news, Sedona really likes pears. I stuff one of those little mesh feeders full of them and she goes to town:
And Sierra has perfected the art of writing in mirror image! Don't worry, it's a normal developmental step, but still kinda freaky to see anyway! I know a lot of kids do this, but I think the whole writing right to left thing has quite a bit to do with her being left-handed as well:
And in the bestest news of all......Josh passed his pre-lims today!! He is officially a PhD candidate now and is on track to graduate in May or August of 2009. He had his orals today and he said (and acted like) it was absolutely NO FUN. But he passed!!! :-) :-) :-)

The world's largest democracy held Legislative Assembly elections in February this year across five states. Greed, in the form of unchecked corruption, bribery, and entrenched special interests, is a burning issue for the people.
In India, bribes are a common occurrence. If you want a building permit, you expect to pay a bribe. Bribery is found not just in the government sector. If you want the death certificate of a dear one, you pay a bribe. Even a birth certificate comes with a price!
However, the people of India are angry and fed up. Over the past year, they have been using their collective power to call for change, including passage of the Jan Lopkal Bill, which would establish independent anti-corruption bodies in every state. (Jan is Sanskrit word for "citizens." Lokpal means "protector of the people.") This is a stronger version of Lopkal bills that have been introduced ten separate times since 1968, without success.
Corruption begins where belongings ends. A lack of faith, and a missing attitude of service and compassion also contribute to corruption, as do selfishness and a sense of insecurity. People try to find security solely in money. But even after acquiring money, the insecurity does not disappear. In fact, a person becomes more fearful if the money is not earned in an ethical way.

Rotary is a worldwide organization of business and professional leaders that provides humanitarian service, encourages high ethical standards in all vocations, and helps build goodwill and peace in the world. Approximately 1.2 million Rotarians belong to more than 33,000 clubs in more than 200 countries and geographical areas.
Rotary club membership represents a cross-section of the community's business and professional men and women. The world's Rotary clubs meet weekly and are nonpolitical, nonreligious, and open to all cultures, races, and creeds.
The main objective of Rotary is service in the community, in the workplace, and throughout the world. Rotarians develop community service projects that address many of today's most critical issues, such as children at risk, poverty and hunger, the environment, illiteracy, and violence. They also support programs for youth, educational opportunities and international exchanges for students, teachers, and other professionals, and vocational and career development. The Rotary motto is Service Above Self.
The Rotary Foundation is a not-for-profit corporation that promotes world understanding through international humanitarian service programs and educational and cultural exchanges. It is supported solely by voluntary contributions from Rotarians and others who share its vision of a better world. Since 1947, the Foundation has awarded more than US $1.1 billion in humanitarian and educational grants, which are initiated and administered by local Rotary clubs and districts.
One of the goals of Rotary is to help young people develop their leadership abilities and self-confidence to the fullest. To accomplish that goal, Rotary clubs prepare thousands of young leaders through the RYLA program each year. RYLA was officially adopted by Rotary International in 1971, and is one of the most significant and fastest-growing programs of Rotary service. The RYLA events are organized by a District Committee of Rotarians who are business and professional leaders in the community.
Rotary clubs also sponsor other complementary programs for young people. They include Interact (a service club for secondary school students), Rotaract (a service club for young men and women ages 18 to 30, usually university-based) Youth Exchange (a chance to live and study abroad), and Ambassadorial Scholarships (for university or post-university study abroad).

Are You Better At Your Job Than a Mexican?
I now that this may seem a bit insensitive to some, but I was thinking about the premise that "illegal aliens" take Americans' jobs…
I've lived in two places in my life. New Jersey and Florida, both of which have more than their share of what are referred to as illegal aliens. In the 45 years or so that I've been part of the workforce, from unskilled car washer in a NJ car dealership to a business owner, General Manager and CFO of others' companies, I've never, not once, had my job taken from me and given to one of the people in question.
So, it struck me…(here comes the insensitive part) if you feel as if your job is threatened by someone who barely, if at all, speaks English, has no resume', can't pass a background check, has no job history or references, few marketable skills, no driver's license and little or no documented education…I can't help but wonder, are you more frightened of them, or of your being reminded of your own failures? Might it have been your career choices and abject lack of value in the workforce that makes you so imminently replaceable by such an unlikely group? Does your expressed hatred of them mask a hidden disappointment in yourself? Do you find any embarrassment in complaining that those people could so easily take your job? Huh? Huh?
Here's what your "job creators" are doing with all the money they got from the congress in the form of corporate tax cuts
Remember Mitt Romney and his ilk, during the last election, screaming against any tax increases for the wealthy? Remember their imbecilic claims that giving millionaires tax cuts would increase employment because these "job creators" could invest in new plants and hire new people? Remember the Repubs, once again playing as if they understood economics, claiming that millionaires can't wait to hire new people with all that tax money the congress allowed them to keep rather than pay to the government?
Well, as part of installment #2 of how Repubs are continually, perpetually wrong every time they claim to understand economics, Money Magazine published a piece a year or so ago which is holding true today. These "job creators" aren't creating jobs…they're using the money you gave them to buy back their own stocks, driving the price of them through the roof.
That's right. They are taking stocks that should be floating on the market and locking them up, causing a shortage of those stocks and driving the price up. This benefits, not workers, not the unemployed, not the middle class, but only those who are wealthy enough to own stock in these companies.
Here is the article
You can't make this stuff up folks. This was the second bit of ignorance that came out the the Repub cluster-fu*k in 2012, along with their predictions of hyper-inflation and drastic dollar devaluation. Where is it? And where are the jobs that these creators created from all the taxes they've saved?
You can love or hate Barack Obama, but can you imagine where we'd be financially if these ignoramuses had taken the White House? Or if they do in 2016?
These people make predictions and low-intelligence pronouncements (like balancing the federal budget is similar to a household balancing its checkbook) and Repubs buy it, hook, line and sinker. But they conveniently forget to check back years later when none, and I mean none, of their predictions come true. Their lack of long-term memory is what keeps them thinking that they're right, when they are almost invariably wrong. Time and time again.
More to come…
Welfare Queens, Kings, and Bill O'Reilly.
I can't help it folks. This stuff drives me insane.
On Sunday, Bill O'Reilly once again took advantage of the fact that Barack Obama has more class than O'Reilly will ever, and asked, as impertinently as possible, of the twice duly elected leader of the free world some of the most insolent questions, to which the President replied with all the restraint and lack of animus for which he's become well-known.
One question (or statement) in particular related to the premise that Obama is a "nanny state kind of guy" (O'Reilly's words) whereas O'Reilly ostensibly rose to his elevated station with no help from the government whatsoever. They bandied this idea back and forth and then went on to other things. The President smirked at O'Reilly's gracelessness quite a few times, but never let on his true feelings, as he usually does not with the Fox cabal. Kind of like the way you treat a wise-ass teenager who is too stupid to know how badly his impudence makes him look. Obama, as usual, comported himself well with this self-aggrandizing simpleton O'Reilly.
But I'm tired of these Repubs whose only claim to fame is a bad memory who act as if they've lived their lives on an island somewhere where they've never received any help from anyone to achieve the greatness which they now exhibit. It's boring. And I'm tired of it.
So, lets go down a few "entitlement" programs that O'Reilly and most of the rest of us welfare kings and queens have sucked from the government teat, shall we?
1. O'Reilly grew up in Levittown, NY, where the FHA subsidized every mortgage. The FHA was instrumental in Bill O'Reilly's father getting his mortgage. The FHA is a government agency.
2. O'Reilly's father went to college on the GI bill. For Free. On Uncle Sam's dime. GI or no GI, he got a free college education.
3. O'Reilly, before he became a gazillionaire, owned numerous houses throughout the country, each upon of which was a mortgage, upon which there was interest, which O'Reilly deducted from his federal income tax every year. The only reason that the government gives this form of welfare to home owners is to support home ownership. But it also applies to multiple houses, like vacation homes. The mortgage interest deduction is basically a welfare-like handout to every homeowner in the country who has a mortgage.
4. For the rest of us, Repubs included, which of you will refuse Medicare when you turn 65? Which of you will refuse Social Security when you come of age? Which of you returned the tax credit that George Bush gave you in the early part of his presidency? Which one of you would turn one down today?
5. Is the air you breathe cleaner than Athens, or Bejing, where the exhaust coming out of the tailpipe of a modern car is LESS polluted than the air that it sucks in? Well, you can thank that socialist organization, the EPA for that (BTW, Richard Nixon, that socialist, marxist pig, started the EPA).
6.Is the water you drink cleaner than the Ganges in India which is so dirty they don't even recommend washing clothes in it, yet millions get their drinking water from it? Yup, EPA again.
7. Do you pay 110% interest on your credit cards? No? Well I guess a thank you card is owned to the Federal Reserve, who regulates credit card companies.
8. Was the pilot on your last airplane ride licenced and properly trained? Well, a call to the FAA might be in order.
Yeah, yeah, yeah you pay for all that stuff with your taxes, I know, I've heard it before. But that is not an argument for suggesting that someone who takes advantage of government programs is on welfare, or a nanny state guy, any more than it suggests that you are a welfare recipient when you take advantage of any of the above, or a government scholarship, or low interest student loan.
And I know at least a few people with large properties who claim farm deductions for their large tracts of land, thereby saving huge amounts of property taxes. This is quite a common occurance, but you won't find a lot of poor people with large tracts of land ripping off the government for their fair share of property taxes. That's because poor people don't own large tracts of land!
I have been a businessman for a large part of my life and fully understand the concept of fending for yourself and not relying on others, but this sanctimony has to stop.
So, to recap. If you've ever accepted a mortgage interest deduction, if you receive more in Social Security or Medicare in your lifetime than you pay, or, for that matter, ever gotten a scholarship or student loan, then you, according to Bill O'Reilly's definition, are a nanny-state kind of guy.
Or, by the same definition, a Welfare Queen.
Sorry To My Female Readers, But This Is A Myth
President Obama, in a speech last week, repeated the oft-used platitude that "women make $.75 for every dollar that men make" or something like that. This self-serving applause line has been perpetuated by those who pander to women in general and like to rail against men specifically. But its not true.
During my own educational process I've been tasked with numerous papers regarding this subject and have found, time and time again, that women who do the same job, with the same education and the same experience, make the same money. Why the discrepancy? Well, the answer is somewhat complex, but I can reduce it to one overriding reason. Children. Yes, women, who have been biologically and evolutionarily chosen to be the factories of our perpetuation, usually take some time off to have children. Sometimes, many years. I know this because I see lots of babies around and, based on my extensive education and personal experience, they all came out of women.
If you do some simple math, you will find that two college grads, one female and one male, both 25 years old, who apply for the same job as a financial analyst, will get paid the exact same amount (I've yet to see a job that advertises one salary for men and another one for women). The problem occurs later on. Let's say that these two meet at work, fall in love and get married. Irrespective your opinion on the matter, statistically, it is the woman who will quit her job (especially if the husband's salary can support them both) and raise their children. This becomes more prevalent as the couple decides to have two or three children, since it is obviously more difficult to work outside the home the more children you have.
Then, say, 6 years later, when the children are in school or day care, the woman chooses to re-enter the workplace. She is now 6 years behind her husband in experience and has likely not maintained her contacts for the last 6 years. It makes perfect sense that a 31 year-old woman who hasn't worked for 6 years would be worth less money than a man (or woman for that matter) whose experience is current. In that case it is perfectly justifiable for the person with less and less current experience (in this case the woman) to make less than the other (in this case male) applicant. This is quite a common scenario, especially in higher tech industries where technological change is a major factor, although there are certainly some women who work during their child-raising years. The point is that statistically, if anyone is going to quit their job to raise children, it is still likely to be the female, rather than the male. This may change in the future, but it happens to be the way things are today.
Other factors include the fact that woman are less likely to take high-risk/high-pay jobs (there are substantially more male firefighters, police, oil rig operators, armed guards and coal miners than female). In addition, women take most of the lower paying jobs such as education, sociology, early childhood care, performing arts, as well as part-time jobs which allow them to spend more time with their families.
Further, women, once again due to obligations to their children, are less likely to take jobs that require long hours or overnight travel. Once again, statistically, if there is a male presence in the household, it is he who is more likely to take on these higher paying jobs, since the woman, (this is based on statistics, not stereotype), is more likely to forgo the higher pay for the purpose of raising children.
The conclusion is that, although I'm certainly an Obama supporter, he is just as guilty as anyone of pandering to women in an effort to gain their support by perpetuating this myth.
And he should stop doing so.
Oh The Karma, the Irony, the Opportunities to Say I Told You So…
Today, Reuters news service had a piece about an announcement by Walmart and Sams Club. They are downgrading their earnings projections because their customers aren't spending as much due to federal cutbacks in food stamp assistance!
By Dhanya Skariachan
Jan 31 (Reuters) – Wal-Mart Stores Inc said on Friday that bad weather and reduced food stamp benefits in the United States had dragged down comparable-store sales in the fiscal fourth quarter, more than offsetting a positive bump from the holiday season.
Yes fellow Libs, calm down. Stop the the fist pumps and yelling "I told you so you idiots" and similar exhortations. Be respectful…
Now, to my Repub readers…really guys, could you have made this any easier? Wal Mart, that bastion of conservative views, that anti-union, anti-female, anti-minority supreme soviet of capitalism, is proving that government assistance to the poor is good for the economy!
This is the company which pays its workers so little that some enormous proportion of them must collect food stamps just to eat, is now complaining because they're losing money due to cutbacks in food stamps!
Hmm, could it be that government programs like food stamps and other forms of assistance for the poor is actually good for our good-ole capitalist, up by your bootstraps, Adam Smith/Milton Freedman/Ayn Rand based economy! Could it be that food stamps and unemployment checks go right back into the economy, generating wealth and jobs, as compared to tax cuts for the 1%, which tends to generate more off-shore bank accounts?
Could it be that every economic theory promulgated by the Repubs over the last 5 years (where's the hyperinflation that was right around the corner, Glenn Beck, Bill O'Reilly and Sarah Palin?) was just intellectual insouciance backed up by, er, ah, nothing? Could all the Mitt Romney cognitive bluestockings have been wrong when they said that trillion-dollar economies were so simple as to be compared with our personal checking accounts (presumably they both needed to be balanced).
Could it be that the subject of economics is a just a little more complicated than this week's featured short-skirted blonde Fox spokesmodel was sufficiently adroit to explain? (although Elisabeth Hasselbeck does have some decent legs).
Now, will you please just stop talking and listen to us when we tell you stuff? Jeez…
Hamburgers and Minimum Wages
The premise that raising the minimum wage will force employers to cut jobs is as imbecilic, shop worn and oft disproven as the one that claimed employers will stop hiring if we raise their taxes-remember that bit of tripe?
Employers don't base their hiring on dollar cost-they base their hiring on the amount of personnel required to do a specific job. In an efficiently run company, the amount of employees doing a particular job is exactly the amount needed to get it done well and on-time-no more and no less. The larger the company, the more efficient they presumably are, since they have the resources to measure these things quite accurately. The cost of those employees is reflected in the price they charge for their product-not in the quantity of employees, for the above reasons. If an industry needs lots of people, it hires accordingly and the cost of labor is reflected in its pricing.
An example is McDonalds. Statistically, the typical McDonalds counter worker can handle a certain amount of customers per hour. For the sake of this argument, let's say it takes 3 minutes to help the average customer, which would mean that counter worker helps 20 customers per hour, on average. If there are 5 counter workers standing side-by-side all day, that's 100 customers per hour and 800 customers per eight-hour shift (5 workers x 20 customers x 8 hours). Now let's say that the average check per customer is $9.00 (this includes when people buy food for others at their table or to take back to the office). At 800 customers per shift and $9.00 per customer, that shift in that McDonalds should earn $7200.00 in revenue ($9.00 per customer x 800 customers). If every one of those workers should get, let's say, an increase of $1.00 per hour in wages, that's $1.00 x 5 workers x 8 hours = $40.00. If they get a $2.00 per hour increase it means that means an increase in wages for that 8-hour shift of $80.00. Now, if we simply divide that $80.00 increase in the cost of that shift by the amount of customers served during the shift ($80.00 / 800 customers = it works out to $.10 (ten cents) per customer per meal. Not $.10 per bag of fries or $.10 per Big Mac-$.10 for the entire meal! McDonalds can give their counter workers a $2.00 per hour increase and only raise the price of the average meal by ten-cents!
Now, before you go ape-shit on me, I realize that there are anywhere from 10-20 people or more in the kitchen who have to cook that food as well, and their incomes are just as important as the counter workers, so let's include them, shall we? Using the numbers above:
To put this to the most stringent test, we'll exaggerate how many people are needed. We'll use 30 workers for this McDonalds. 30 workers x 8 hours x $2.00 per hour raise = $480.00 per 8 hour shift for the entire McDonalds store to get a $2.00 per hour raise. Once again, divide that by the 800 customers served during that shift and you get $.60 (sixty cents). So, friends and neighbors, McDonalds can give everyone in that store a $2.00 per hour raise and only have to increase the cost of an ENTIRE MEAL by sixty cents!
The argument made by these companies is that customers won't spend more for their food (bullshit, especially if it's only an average of $.60 on the entire meal) and so they'd have to lay off workers. Well, if they have so many excess workers that they can lay them off and say, have only 4 employees at the counter handling those 800 customers per shift, it means that they have been operating inefficiently to begin with. My suspicion is that they can't.
But, let's say that our friendly neighborhood Mickey D does, in fact, lay off just one worker to cover their additional expense of a $2.00 an hour increase for the counter workers. Now they have only 4 people working the 8 hour shift at the counter. The numbers go south quickly:
4 counter workers x 20 customers per hour = 80 customers per hour. 80 customers x $9.00 for the average check times 8 hours in the shift equals $5760.00 in revenue for that shift, A NET LOSS OF $1440.00 IN REVENUE from the $7200.00 per shift they were making with 5 counter workers. But, that should be covered by their savings from having fired the counter worker, right? Well, no.
That counter worker is getting paid, as you'll remember, minimum wage of $7.25 per hour, so by firing him or her, you've saved A TOTAL OF FIFTY-EIGHT SEMOLIANS! (8 hours x $7.25 per hour = $58.00). So, all those MBAs at the Golden Arches are threatening that, rather than raise the price of a $9.00 meal by $.60 and potentially lose one or two customers because of it (since everyone would be doing it, where would those customers go?), they would rather fire employees, which saves them $58.00 in wages per day, yet costs them $1440.00 in lost revenue!
C'mon folks. Labor, although not exactly cheap, is not the largest expense in food service. This is grade school arithmetic, yet these fast food megaliths are hoping that you and I (and their workers) forgot where we put our calculators.
These are the same tactics used in the last election. Those of a certain "protect business at all cost" political persuasion (OK, Repubs) have persuaded workers that it is in their best interest to let the bosses keep the money, because then those extremely wealthy bosses will allow it to trickle down and rain upon us.
They hope that their expertise in getting us to vote against our own interest will continue unabated. Will it?
Health Insurance Companies…They Do What Now?
In 1993, most health insurance companies in the country spent about 95% of their premiums paying claims (this is called their Medical Loss Ratio). During that same time, Medicare paid almost 97% of their premiums on claims. Since then, by denying claims and cancelling policies of those who get sick often, we have arrived at the following:
Blue Cross/Blue Shield-medical loss ratio=82%
United Health Care-medical loss ratio=82%
Aetna-medical loss ratio=81%
Humana-medical loss ratio=84%
So, our health insurers have found a way, in a suspiciously lock-step manner, to decrease the amount of their premiums which go to pay claims by as much as 14%. On total premiums in excess of $500,000,000,000 ($ one half trillion) that means that, on average, health insurance companies are pocketing an additional $75 billion per year over and above their normal profits. For comparison purposes, Microsoft made $20 billion last year-total. Apple made about $24 billion.
Now, as good capitalists, we would normally say, "good for them". There's nothing wrong with success, right? Well, sure, but I think it's time that we determine what, exactly, these companies do for us.
Insurance companies are aggregators of risk. That's it. They don't provide any other services that we can't provide on our own. They don't give us advice on how to stay healthy, find good doctors, or determine if a recommended treatment is or isn't called for. We do that all on our own, in conjunction with our doctors. Insurance companies simply hold our money, pool it with the money they get from others, and presumably pay it out to those who make us well. The concept makes sense because, like all insurance we buy, we expect it to accumulate enough money to pay for our needs should a medical issue arise.
But now, we have the ACA, (Obamacare). What the ACA does is gather together numerous insurance companies in one central location, or Exchange (that's what the web site is for). It gives us a place to pick from numerous insurance companies, presumably find the one with the best coverage at the lowest price, from which we can then buy our insurance. Seems simple, huh?
Well, it's simple until you look at it from 30,000 feet. The ACA is, in effect, aggregating the aggregators. They are sweeping up a group of insurance companies and putting them in a bank, much as the insurance companies sweep up our premiums and put them in a bank. The government, in an effort to ensure that Americans have health care, is making us pay, not for the health care itself, but for insurance. And by forcing us to buy insurance, they're forcing us to give anywhere from 16%-18% percent of that money to these insurance companies in pure profit. This is, in actuality, a form of Corporatism, used largely by the Fascists in Italy before WWII. (I use words like "Fascists" quite sparingly and, due to the fact that these words are so often used by those who do not understand them, I affirm very strongly that I'm not accusing anyone of being a Fascist).
So, the question remains, what are insurance companies doing for their profits? They're helping us to bank some money for future medical bills. That is what they do, in totality.
Now, there are some other entities which do the same thing. One, Social Security, takes money from our paychecks every week and aggregates it, paying out money to us when we get old. (Contrary to what some in certain political parties will say, Social Security is fully funded through 2050 and is not even remotely going bankrupt. I've been hearing about its impending bankruptcy for the last 20 years). Another is Medicare. A small amount gets deducted from your paycheck and put in a big ole' account, paying for your medical expenses from when you're 65 until you die.
With all the Tea Party protests over the years, especially when Obama was running for re-election, I have never, not once, heard of a rally, protest or national candidate which advocated abolition of Social Security and Medicare. Not one! Although some, like GW "Cowboy" Bush advocate privatizing it (he quieted down, murmuring to himself, after the stock market tanked) and badly hair-plugged Rand Paul says the same, I have yet to hear anyone, anywhere claim that either of these programs are failures.
Oh, and to repeat: Medicare spends 97% of its revenue on claims. That's, on average, 16% more than the collective insurance companies.
Your tax dollars at work…
So friends and neighbors, I hope you're seeing where I'm going with this. Since our government has proven itself quite competent at managing health care (they're a little slow on websites, I'll give ya that one) and have a decades-long track record of helping to keep Americans healthy, why aren't we simply bypassing the highly profitable health insurance companies and sending it all to the government?
It's called "Single Payer". Barack Obama did not attempt to get it through Congress and I can now see why. The herculean effort to pass the ACA proved to be so difficult that I believe his refusal to go for single payer was prescient, if not visionary. It would have failed, and I think he was smart enough to know it.
But single payer has to be the next step. The resistance to it, however, will be much more transparent in its mendacity than toward the ACA. Once the ACA is fully in place and functioning, the only argument against single payer must be made on the part of insurance companies. There is no one else who will suffer, once we have a fully functioning ACA, from the complete dismantling of our current risk-aggregation-for-profit system than the companies who add more to the cost of it than any other single entity.
What must be remembered is the inevitability of the need for health care. There is no question but that we will all get sick. The medical industry and all its component parts have a monopoly-like hold on humans. We will be forced to use their services sooner or later, yet we let them determine how much to charge us, knowing full well that we have no place else to go.
The use of auto insurance is not inevitable. The use of flood or fire insurance is not inevitable. Many of us go through our entire lives without a car accident or an overflowing river damaging our homes. Life insurance, although inevitable, is not for us-it is a gift for our heirs. There is no comparison to health care in any other aspect of life, or of insurance.
Governments exist to do for people what they cannot do for themselves, like protecting borders, fighting wars, damning rivers and repairing the damage from earthquakes. Virtually every other industrialized country provides some method for their citizens to have the health care they need. There are no alternatives to health insurance for us. We have no place else to go.
Americans, some of whom quite vaingloriously describe themselves as "exceptional", do not seem to think that that exceptionalism should extend to the goal of majority of its citizens being healthy.

Q: What is counseling?
Counseling is a process where one explores, with the help of a professional, issues of concern in a supportive, non-judgmental environment. Through Counseling Services, students are encouraged to talk freely, examine feelings, ask questions, and explore options. Our counselors aim to help students cope with emotional concerns and deal more effectively with problems hindering their academic, personal and career development.
Q: Do I need counseling?
Counseling can simply be sharing your thoughts and feelings in confidence with a trained counselor. This is often helpful when you have decisions to make. Sometimes counseling may help you to change your behavior in order to deal more effectively with a problem. You may become aware of strengths and resources you can use to your benefit. At other times, counseling may help by giving you certain types of information, or by teaching you new skills. Counseling may help you see yourself and others in a different light.
Generally, people come for counseling because they want to feel better about themselves or about their relationships. Some specific reasons include:
Q: Who is eligible for Counseling Services?
All currently enrolled Collin students are eligible for counseling services.
Q: Do I have to pay for counseling?
All currently enrolled Collin students are eligible for counseling services.
Q: How do I make an appointment? (click here)
Q: Where is Counseling located? (click here)
Q: What if I am worried about a friend?
It can be hard to know how much to make of puzzling, painful, or self-destructive behavior in others, and what to do about it. Counselors are available to consult about how to make sense of what is going on, and how you can best respond in order to take care of yourself as well as the other person.
Staff members in Counseling Services are happy to have students referred to us for counseling. We are always available to consult about whether a referral may be necessary, where might be the best place to refer someone, and ideas for how to present the referral to them.
We may be able to help with off-campus referrals if contacted about someone who is not a student. If someone you want to refer has a question about our services, you might refer him or her to this web site to get a general idea.
However, if he or she remains unsure if counseling is needed, you may encourage them to come in for the introductory interview to get a better sense of what it is like.

The Blessed Teeth
I'm trying to get everything wrapped up before we move to Kuwait in a couple of weeks, and so I go to the dentist to get a cleaning....ends up, I'm getting another root canal! This will be my fourth. Can I chalk that up to my British heritage (sorry yall :P)? Anyway, each time before I have this done, I ask them, "Can't we just pull the tooth?" And I guess it's a good thing they say no because I would be looking a bit snaggle-toothed by now, but this is getting ridiculous.
Anyway, if it has to happen in KW too, does anyone know of a good endodontist and dentist there? I have always heard the best trained dentists and doctors work in the public sector, but I am not crazy about going and sitting and waiting and then being booted out before they are finished. Has anyone had a root canal and crown in KW?

I don't have a ton of updates, but I wanted to share a few....
As far as Easter, I plan on doing a quick activity Monday since we had a short week last week.... I bought plastic eggs at Target in the dollar spot. I'm going to put a small object in each egg and hide them around our classroom. The students will have a quick "easter egg hunt". After finding their egg, they will fill out this sheet (I'm so sorry I still don't use Google Docs....I need to upgrade my version of Word so I can save to pdf!):
One of my reading groups has been working on comparing and contrasting (in general). We've compared books by the same author (pictured), characters in different books, different books in general, etc. Here is an example we did recently:
We also have been working on adjectives. For this activity, students chose an adjective out of a cup and had to create an interesting sentence along with a [matching] illustration.

Jamie L. Sin was born on August 31, 1928 to parents Juan Sin and Maxima Lachica in New Washington, Aklan. Sin, the 14th of 16 children, 9 of which survived past infancy, left home at a young age to study at St. Vincent Ferrer Archdiocesan Seminary in Jaro, Iloilo to become a priest. At the age of 26, Sin was ordained a priest. For the next three years, Sin served as priest for the Diocese of Capiz from1954-1957, and first rector of St. Pius X Seminary in Roxas City. It was here for the next ten years he served as professor, principal, diocesan consultant, and dean of studies. Following this, Sin held a variety of official positions and worked his way up the ranks of the Church. At the age of 38 he became bishop of Obla, an archbishop of Jaro at age 44, and then archbishop of Manila at age 46. On May 26, 1976, Pope Paul VI made Sin a cardinal.
From 1974-1986 under the dictatorship of Ferdinand Marcos, Cardinal Sin became an increasingly vocal critic of the Marcos regime's abuses and violations of human rights. Initially, Cardinal Sin engaged in what he called "critical collaboration" with the Marcos regime. The devoutly Catholic Sin at first pledged to help Marcos reining in nuns and priests within the clergy supporting Marxist rebels due to their Marxist ways of preaching the Gospel. In addition, Cardinal Sin attended social events of Ferdinand and Imelda Marcos, and presided over masses requested by the First Family out of his duty to the faith. However, these actions were in conjunction with the Cardinal's increasing criticism of Marcos' regime policies such as violating human rights, torturing and abusing citizens and dissidents, and his neglect of the poor. These criticisms were often put into the form of thinly veiled jokes made against the regime's policies and moral character, especially Imelda's wasteful extravagance. Sin's humor was renowned for its slyness, as well as its criticism of Marcos.
Cardinal Sin's criticism of Marcos and his regime became explicit and outspoken after the assassination of Senator Ninoy Aquino upon Aquino's arrival in Manila after self-imposed exile in the U.S. Cardinal Sin even went on to publicly endorse Aquino's widow, Corazon Aquino, in her candidacy for president against Marcos. The Cardinal's opposition to the Marcos regime, and his powerful influence over state affairs became apparent when two of Marcos' main supporters, Chief of Staff Fidel Ramos, and Minister of Defense Juan Ponce Enrile rebelled against Marcos. Answering for requests of protection and safety by Ramos and Enrile, Cardinal Sin went on the airwaves and called upon millions of Filipinos to surround the camp where Enrile, Ramos, and their men were occupying to provide a protective barricade of human bodies to stop Marcos' men from killing them. Faced with millions of ordinary Filipinos against them, as well as iconic images of priests and nuns kneeling in prayer in front of tanks, Marcos realized his situation was futile and decided to flee from the Philippines.
After the exile of Ferdinand Marcos and his family from the Philippines, Cardinal Sin played a prominent role in Philippine politics by leading another People Power revolt against President Joseph Estrada in 2001. In addition, Sin's power in the Church and influence over the people often butted heads against policies of the government such as President Fidel Ramos' planned policy for birth control in the country, which the devoutly Catholic Sin denounced. On June 21, 2005 at the age of 76, Cardinal Jamie Sin died due to a longstanding battle against cancer.
Cardinal Sin is significant in Philippine history not only for being an instrumental figurehead in the People Power revolt that deposed the Marcos dictatorship, but also for representing the power the Catholic church had in deciding Philippine politics for years to come. Sin's position and influence over the people showcased the power of the clergy and Sin's unique role as kingmaker in politics. Despite the positivity Sin and the Church had in deposing Marcos, critics remark that Sin represents the increasing meddling in politics the Church has shown since the People Power revolt in 1986. However, regardless of these arguments, the platform of morality Cardinal Sin stood upon in justifying the presence of God in politics has been a phenomenon that exists to this day.
