Turning nearly every scene into a blood-soaked melee, "Your Time is Up" is a concussive viewing experience. A crazed yarn about a fraternal fracas catalyzed by a femme fatale, this bludgeoning exercise in machismo and misogyny will have its champions, who'll hail it as an unflinching reflection of the violence inherent to South Korean society. But such films are a dime a dozen in the country's rich repertoire, and while festival and quasi-arthouse ancillary markets will lap it up, one hopes first-time helmer Kim Sung-hyun's notable talent can be applied to more thematically satisfying projects in future.
Water-purifier salesman Seok-ho (Choi Won-young) grudgingly lends $5,000 to his brother Jin-ho (Kang Ho) so he can enroll in grad school. But when Seok-ho catches the ne'er-do-well having a sexual rendezvous during study hours, he demands his money back within a week. Jin-ho, who's squandered his windfall on snack-bar hostess Hee-young (Kim E-jung), starts stalking her for a refund, but becomes incensed with jealousy when he spots her lover, Min-kyu (Kim Won-sik), driving her car. A confrontation ensues, with violent results.
Popular on Variety
An inflated plot develops as Seok-ho, Hee-young and Min-kyu's gangster brother, Tae-kyu (Shin Hyun-tak), keep having coincidental encounters at a morgue, a funeral parlor, Hee-young's home and, most incessantly, her bar, as if it were the only watering hole in Seoul. While Tae-kyu and his boss harass Hee-young to pay up a loan of $15,000, Seok-ho's sexual overtures toward Hee-young become more aggressive.
All male characters, regardless of their dramatic significance, behave as if they've swallowed barrels of gunpowder. Seok-ho's increasingly psychotic belligerence reads as guilt over his tough love toward Jin-ho, while Tae-kyu's bloodlust can be attributed to a thirst for revenge. But it's harder to explain why a police detective also abruptly joins the fray, except as another excuse for more rounds of fist fighting and furniture smashing. The action reaches a ridiculous nadir when Hee-young calls Seok-ho "a crazy loser." Seok-ho retorts: "Alright, I'll show you crazy." He does.
The pic's treatment of loan sharks is superficially similar to that of Korean indie "Choked," which, like "Your Time Is Up," is helmed by a Korean Academy of Film Arts (Kafa) graduate and was selected for the Busan Film Festival's New Currents competition. The comparisons end there, however, as this film merely treats debt as a plot device without investing it with additional layers of meaning.
Kim E-jung has neither the looks nor the sex appeal to sell the idea that men would drain their resources or risk their lives for her, and she tends to substitute the same fed-up frown for a whole range of reactions she's supposed to have. The male protags convey their brutishness with mechanical efficiency.
In stark contrast with the protags' muddled motives and behavior, Kim's technical execution, from immaculately composed and lit cinematography to tightly controlled editing and action choreography, is impressive for an up-and-comer.

After dropping them off it was off to the pre-race meeting. I usually love these and I did this one too, but it was way over crowded and hot and while I didn't mind terribly sitting on the floor, I did mind the people standing in front of us the whole time. Really didn't see anything, oh well. The buzz was good though and I was happy to know now that at 3:00, my day could quiet down. We had an early dinner, a little pre-race hot tub with my 8year old, and I'd like to say I got to bed at a reasonable hour, but well, I did ok :)
|And finish in 10th place (I would consider it a win for me).
That was a big, important goal to me, and one I didn't share with many people.
At one point around the 2nd aid station we came upon a woman handing her pack off to a volunteer (like 1/2 mile from the aid station at least) which we wondered about but as we got closer I had this feeling it was Magda Boulet, and it was. So sad to see her there with such a sad look on her face. I don't know entirely what happened but she dropped from the race.
Canice and I also took note of the dust. Wow was there a lot! For many many miles too. We'd be reasonably far back from the next person but it was still there. My contacts didn't love it but by Robinson is was gone.
Physically to this point, my back was quite sore Thursday and Friday before the race, perfect timing I know, and from about mile 4-24. Like that backache that makes you want to stand up and straighten or arch your back. I was thankful to hold off on my first dose of ibuprofen till 6 hours in and that seemed to make the backache go away and it wouldn't return for the rest of the race. I had one good ankle "stretch" before we ran into Dom and Paul at Duncan Canyon but thankfully I walked it off after a minute or two. The ankle I worried about in the months leading into the race would thankfully not be a problem at all.
ice bandana from Howard Nippert that I had picked up from Dom and Paul a few hours earlier which they had all ready to go and tied right on me. Seriously no bounce, kept me cold and wet for hours and hours before getting a new one from crew. LIFE SAVER. Buy one, support team USA ultrarunning. I also picked up a small handheld flask from Nathan I won as part of the Ultrarunning race series. It would always hold water to wet the top of my head with and was super easy to carry.
Anyway, I feel like this this was my first experience with the magic of the aid stations at Western. I ran in and several volunteers met just me there. They took my pack and asked what I needed. I told them I needed my pack filled and to find my crew. The lady sent me off to find them and when I said I didn't have my pack back yet she assured me she would come find me. And she did a minute of two later about 50 yards down the trail with my family. Amazing! And every single aid station was that same quality. No one ever sitting and just looking at me, always up and helping from the second I arrived and always enthusiastic! So good!! I kissed the family and headed out.
Somewhere out there, maybe Dusty Corners? I found out I was 16th or 18th woman. That was great, better than I thought and helped to keep me going. I was also back on track time goal wise. I passed one woman shortly after that but that is all I would see for hours. For Western being such a big race, it for me was very very quiet out on the course after Robinson. I didn't run along side anyone or have a conversation with anyone besides aid stations for 30 miles. A few passes and hellos, but no side by side running or anyone close enough for conversation.
Vfuel Cherry Cola drink mix in my pack now as I was hoping to keep my stomach happy in the heat, hands full of a grape popscicle, flask of coke, Vfuel gel packet in my mouth. This was a good time, good memory.
My first low would come next, starting a few miles before Michigan Bluff, just after halfway. I don't remember exactly what, just kind of that off feeling. I kept up on my calories, took some First Endurance Pre-race and got my ipod out for the first time. Got it going as quick as I could so I'd keep moving forward and with music on and a mind still strong enough to say "we're ok, we got this, lows happen, take care of yourself and be patient" I moved forward. Until 2.5 min later when the music stopped. Literally. My ipod turned off. Weird. So I turned it back on and kept going. 2.5 min later it turned off again. Great. It has done this before, goes into some mode I do not know how to turn off. Super frustrating. I'm not a runner that can't exist without music, but right now I needed it. So it turned into running until it turned off then quickly turning it back on while walking or running if it was smooth around me. Not ideal but I made do.
I arrived a tad grumpy into Michigan Bluff (55.7), but mostly just that feeling of I don't know what I want when presented all kind of food options. Nothing sounded great. It can be hard when that happens since you know you have to keep the calories going. I tried to get out of there quick feeling a little better, stopped to pet a dog cause that's what I do, and carried on down and up the quiet barren dirt roads. Great to get to Bath Road where I was kind of hoping someone would meet me and run in, and no one was there and Bath Road itself was much quieter than I expected, but it's ok. I was running now because I knew I needed to when possible, it felt good, and I wanted to make my time goal. I passed Scott Wolf on his way down who looked at me and said I could make top 10 if I kept that pace up. I appreciated that a lot. Feeling the day a bit, but excited for the race to really begin, I ran quick and easy into Foresthill(62), right on time and right in the female position I wanted to be in.
It felt good to run down the iconic Foresthill road lined with crews and spectators but I did find it humorous that Zach got more cheers than I did, he's kind of a big deal ;) We chatted casually about how the men's race was going since I had heard nothing all day, and thanks to the wonders of modern technology, he could follow the race from his phone. I was super excited to hear how well my male teammates were doing. He asked if I wanted to hear about the women's race and I said yes. I wasn't overly anxious about things right now and I also had heard nothing about our race either. There were surprising standings to me with excitement for some of the women and sadness for others I knew must not be doing well. He told me I was only 20-30 min back from 11-14th or so place and who was in it, and that was intreaging! While it gave me a little bit of excitement that my goal of 10th was in reach, the pain in my leg started squelching that.
Back in April I ran a local fun run trail marathon. Lots of climbing and descending, but nothing I hadn't done before for sure. I felt great during it but my legs were so smashed afterward for at least a week, which is longer than normal for me, that it surprised me. I noticed one particular spot about 2-3inches long, 1inch wide on my upper left quad that would continue to be sore. My awesome massage therapist Heber would work on it along with my rolling and Tissue Rejuvenator pills I take and it would go away for weeks at a time, but with lots of work or intensity it would come back here and there. Nothing to ever concern me really, certainly no limp or training adjustment needed, it was just a sore spot. I hadn't felt it in a month leading into Western so it honestly didn't even cross my mind as a potential problem. I hadn't thought about it at all. But I figured this pain was that. Some ultimately unhealed strain or tear that didn't appreciate Western States 100 like I did.
I remember a few miles out of Robinson, so maybe say mile 34, I felt my quads for the first time that day, but I was calm about it and knew I was strong and while yes there was plenty of race in front of me, I was being smart and it was normal to expect to feel the body 34 miles into a run. Certainly didn't feel like blown out or worn down quads, just noticed them. I recall laying my ice bandana on this painful spot on my leg somewhere around Michigan bluff (55), but I was still managing ok. Don't remember if I said anything to the crew in Foresthill about it, probably trying to stay positive, but by mile 65 my hands were the opposite of a fist, they were fingers out stretched, locked out in pain at any downhill. I told Zach and we decided to try some biofreeze gel I had in my pack when we got into Cal-1(Dardanelles). And so we did but it didn't do anything. I was kind of grumpy by this point, possibly neglecting full calorie intake and I know I was getting sensory annoyed by anything on me. I had Zach stuff my bandana, hat, even headphones into the back of my pack because I just couldn't handle anything touching me. Weird. I felt like these 5mile mile apart aid stations were taking forever which is kind of sad. My pace was ok, but not great, just tried to keep running on this part I was so excited before the race to run my heart out on. It's a lot of downhill though, and that sure hurt a lot.
A few miles from the river we heard a woman's voice behind us and let them pass. It was not only a female pacer but racer too. One that we knew was in front of us. What the what? We must have passed her at an aid station somehow although these aid stations between Foresthill and the river are very small. Anyway, she passed and it was exciting for a second to know I was ahead of her, but then sad to see them trotting on like nothing while I was walking more and more out of pain. And then with headlamps on, we ran into my friend and teammate Nicole and that really worried and baffled me. She should have been hours in front of me! In very stammered speech and wobbling side to side she said she'd fainted several times and was just trying to get to the river. It was not good. The first responder and new nurse in me said we couldn't leave her, but Zach reminded me she had a pacer (and a man at that that could carry her if needed) and that we were close to the river. She ended up making it in fine and dropping there and I'm just glad she's ok.
I was looking and listening around for signs of the river crossing for a mental boost. I was looking forward to crossing Ruck-a-Chucky(78) more than anything leading up to the race. I wasn't feeling great or excited about anything at this point, but Zach and I had hoped this would be good and help.
We arrived 30 min off my goal split (which isn't terrible, but we had been right on only 16 mostly downhill miles earlier). I was thankful to see my husband and kids down there and took a few minutes to get the things together I needed for the other side of the river. I knew I wasn't quitting, but I gave my husband a big hug and asked for the same in return and not a get me out of there pep talk. I cried to him that 'this wasn't fun, I didn't want to finish this. I wasn't going to quit but please just take me with you.' He's heard this plea in races before and I feel bad he has to deal with that because I'm sure it's not easy to see someone you love like that, suffering, doing something that is hard, and frankly, is optional, yet being loving and also pushing them on. I had taken too long there and it was time to get going. So they strapped Zach and I into life jackets and glow necklaces and sent us down the trail.
I probably ruined it for myself, but the river crossing was the real start of my race going very much not as planned. It was kind of a let down. I never envisioned myself crossing it at night, the water was cold, not welcoming, and the volunteers there weren't as loving, they were bossy. Bossy was appropriate though because this was not an easy crossing. The current wasn't bad, but there were so many big rocks, some pointy to deal with. They had a smart idea of sinking glowsticks near the worse ones, but there was just so much tip toeing through there from shin deep, to watching your shins hopefully not get ripped open, to waist deep. And it was cold, and I don't like being cold. Once across I waved bye a little emotionally to my family and took too much time getting dry stuff on and out of there. I was procrastinating.
The hike to Green Gate felt so long, and it's only 2 miles. The pain was starting to creep into the flats and the ups now and was still so much pain going down. I thought strongly of dropping at Green Gate, but Zach sneakily said it would be an easier ride out the next aid station, Auburn Lakes ;) Which with this pain at 20:00min/mi pace at best and over 5 miles away would 'only' take us almost 2 more hours. Ugh. We got there, Auburn Lakes(85), I sat down on a cot since I figured I'd get to end my race there from pain, and embarrassment of how my race was ending and Zach kindly went off to get me soup and ask them and every other aid station for any icy hot or anything like that. A medical guy came over to me and man, just wasn't about to let me quit and continued asking what they could do for me.
Tip for people supporting a woman in labor - don't ask her a million questions. Same goes for 70 miles into an ultramarathon. But I appreciate his support. Since apparently we weren't quitting, and I think I said it that way to Zach since no one was respecting that emotional wish, we got up and walked out. For about 10 feet and stopped. I was so frozen just then in indecision. I felt like if we left the aid station, even though it was only 15 miles to the finish it meant I had to go all the way. Yeah I wanted to finish, but at that moment in my state, I wasn't passionate about it. I was embarrassed by how things were going, how I wouldn't be anywhere near my goals, and after being mentioned by iRunFar as a top 10 contender. I wondered if DNFing would look better than the finish I knew would result if we kept going. *I'm going to stop anyone right here from any misunderstanding. I respect anyone and everyone's goals, they belong to the individual, and for many, it is simply to finish. That wasn't the case for me. Going into this race, a finish was obvious to me, it was the much bigger goals I set for myself that were my focus. I don't want to belittle anyone's finish of any time, but for me, my goals meant more than 'just finishing'.*
Back to the story - frozen in anxiety and debate over whether to walk back in to the aid and call it, or to keep trudging on in our slow, dark pace, mind you around 1am now. We honestly stood there for at least 10 minutes just thinking and me talking out loud. Zach was a wonderful pacer who was very neutral and supportive and made me feel heard and cared about, but wasn't making my decisions. I felt terrible for making this world class ultrarunner walk the entire night with me, but ultimately, I just couldn't come up with a good enough excuse to tell my kids when I got a ride back to the finish instead of crossing it on my own. I was so past my goals and still had 5 hours to walk, but could I really show them it's ok to give up if things aren't going your way? You bet I had an injury, a strain that I'm confident was now a tear. But I was not signed up for anything after this, on purpose. All my eggs were in this basket so that I could give this race everything and come home smashed. This was not the smashed I imagined, but I couldn't use the "I could make it worse if I keep going" excuse. There was no reason I couldn't rehab when I got home and it wasn't so bad I was risking my safety or life. The other big reason for continuing was respect for the race and those who have wanted to race but haven't had their chance yet. I was given a chance to race and experience Western States. It didn't seem right of me to quit, even in my circumstances when there were so many people out there who would love to be there. And the pettiest reason I had to keep going? I really wanted to be able to wear the new Western States shirt I bought the day before :) Now don't think I got all hero like and ran out of there, I didn't. But I somewhat grumpily trudged on, questioning myself every minute or two for a while.
I wasn't a happy person in Brown's Bar (89.9). Their aid station was cool, lots of Christmas lights strung about and loud music playing, but I was a grump. Didn't want anything to eat because nothing sounded good (and probably got snappy when they kept asking if this or that sounded good, as a good volunteer would). All I could tell them was I wanted a finish line, for this to be over. We were out of there pretty quick and the only thing I took, against their advice, was enough extra strength Tylenol to max me out for the day, earlier than I should have based on my first dose. I was also maxed out on ibuprofen for a 24 hour period, and had a pain patch on my leg, but none of it helped. Leaving Brown's Bar for Hwy 49 we saw an opossum and owl and scorpion. Grateful I was reasonable enough to take notice of them. It was a teeny bit comforting to know there was 10 miles left, but 10 miles at our pace still meant more than 3 hours to go. It would leave me sad when a couple women passed us, that was hard. Absolutely no disrespect to these women, but they were ladies I had seen earlier in the day I knew I would finish ahead of. But they were smart and physically intact and were running well. And I'm happy for them. Then came Tommy and Kenzie blowing by us which was amazing. I feared Tommy might not finish, and figured he'd at least be in the late 20's, and yet here he was truly running down the trail. I wished them well although I'm not sure they realized it was me. Then Canice and Dom passed us and didn't recognize me till I wished them well. Dom looked crushed to see me there and told me to run with them but that wasn't going to happen. Canice had such determination in his stride. It wasn't a long open beautiful powerful stride, but it was a determined and focused one. I am so happy to say that they made our goal of sub 24, against many odds. Way to go guys!
Finally into Hwy 49 (93.5) and we had a decision to make. If we could maintain a very fast walk and stop at no more aid stations we might be able to break 24. I debated a little but just really didn't believe it was possible, and more importantly, with my race and mind shot to crap, I didn't want to be pushed and hustled another couple hours in pain to possibly not break 24. The sliver buckle wasn't a big deal to me at this point, my goals were much bigger to me than the color of the buckle.
As funny as this will seem, I always wanted to experience a nap on a cot in an aid station, something I couldn't do as a front runner, and so I made our decision. I was going to finish, but we were going to not kill ourselves doing it. So at mile 93.5 I laid down and told them to wake me up in 22 minutes no questions asked. I would get up and go I assured them. I do really well with 20 min naps at home and give myself that 2 min to fall asleep so that's what we did. Unfortunately for someone sleeping, that is a very noisy and lit aid station and it sounded like everyone there stood right over me the whole 20 min. I got maybe 5 min of sleep. Ugh. I was in better spirits though.
So with a tad more relaxed attitude we trecked up to the trails above and eventually down to No Hands Bridge. It was long and painful, but I think I've already said that a million times. About a mile from No Hands I got super sleepy eyes, like literally cannot keep them open. I HATE that. So what did I do? I took another nap :) We got into No Hands aid station and told them quickly I was going to lay down for 10 minutes this time. Zach actually supported the idea because by the time I got up and left it would probably be twilight and that might help. And you know what? I slept that whole 10 minutes, the sleepy eyes were gone, and we could turn our headlamps off with the wide bridge and dirt road ahead. Isn't it a neat place? I knew I had been in a bad place mentally for 10 or so hours now. Some was unavoidable and some unfortunately I held onto. I felt guilty and really wanted to try to take in some of the things that are so iconic to this race, and No Hands was one of them to me.
I didn't really feel the energy of Western States in those final miles from Robie unfortunately. Just a quiet ending to our night. It was probably the embarrassment of my race ending so much slower than my goals on such a big stage and getting ready to see those who knew me and could expect more from me. I think also, I just never visualized during all of my training a finish in the light and I don't know whether I should have, because I believe firmly in picturing yourself achieving what you want, but it may have taken from some of my experience then.
It was ironic that the night before the race I was chatting with Craig, the RD who mentioned that there's this big lul in spectators and even finishers from 24 hours to about 27 hours, and guess where I was finishing? Right in the middle of that. The track was quiet and I was sad and I didn't have that magical experience on the track I read of and watched so many videos of. It was just another race over with. (thankful for my family there of course)
The drive home was long and uncomfortable but I was with my funny and supportive family which is most important. I came to the reality that I do not have to race 100's. They are hard, a lot of suffering, and not a whole lot of fun to me honestly. 100k is a really great distance and it is totally fine to 'only' go that far. I got to catch up on FB and IG and all the wonderful sweet messages left that helped to soften the blow some.
|Made me cry when we got home. I didn't know who left this at the time, but it meant a lot to me.
I am proud of the way I handled the heat. I owned it! It may not have been the hottest year, but I know others were suffering with it. I can honestly say I was never hot. I am very happy with how I handled the canyons. Smooth down, strong up. I am proud that I worked to be nice to my pacer and crew/husband :) Sounds funny, but I get emotional and grumpy and I know that's what pacers have to expect, but I wanted to control it better and I think I did. The atmosphere there was wonderful, the aid stations A-MAZING! It was a wonderful trip. I'm not sure more take aways from this race though, I'm not sure the lessons I can say I've learned. I guess that will come in time.
The leg has been healing remarkably well really and there are times I go back and question if I was really hurting that bad and injured, or just letting my mind take over and find an excuse to slow down. And then I remember how swollen and discolored my whole left quad was for 5 days and how the other one looked and felt perfect. How my massage therapist could feel the damage in there the entire post race week. The injury was real at a really bad time and I'm really sad about how it affected such an important race to me, but life goes on. I don't have anything particular planned for the rest of the year, probably won't race again till September with healing and family life and starting as an RN.
I don't really have a great ending to this post, it's been long and I'm sorry, just my therapy I guess. I hope I didn't come off too negatively. I could be bitter about what was written on my arm and how it turned into "here go all my goals out the window" or something, but I love that quote, Here Goes Everything, and I gave this race that as long as I could. Until next time - #seeyouinsquaw

As someone with dyed grey hair (and so bleached underneath) that I blow dry and straighten three or four times a week, winter is not my friend. My hair really struggles with the cold, it gets really static-y and flyaway from wearing scarves and coats and greasy much quicker from the constant not quite rain we have frequently. I have to dry it fully each time I wash it (in the summer I'd part dry it and then let it dry naturally) and I have to straighten it more than usual too. More hair falls out than normal and I just get cross (and usually dye it back to brown in a strop!) This year, though, I am DOING THINGS DIFFERENTLY. Here's my plans for haircare in winter.
Use the right shampoo for you
As well as long, frizz prone, quick to get greasy hair I have psoriasis, and at the moment it is terrible on my scalp. So instead of gorgeous smelling shampoo I am using one that works for my scalp. The one problem with my current shampoo, though, is that whilst it's good to my scalp, it makes my hair even more flyaway. So, I need to…
Use a good conditioner
My hair is like straw if I ever don't condition it. A good conditioner is much needed and I try to leave it on as long as possible-sometimes when my hair is really bad I put conditioner on, let it soak in for twenty minutes, then shampoo and then condition again!
Use a hair mask
A good hair mask can really give my hair a boost when it's in bad condition. When I've got no coloured dye on it I use coconut oil overnight, but that can fade colour so badly so when my colour is on I use a non colour fading mask. It just adds moisture to my hair and makes it feel and look better.
NEVER use a brush on wet hair
Using a brush on wet hair can make it fall out more. I use a wide toothed comb to comb through mine once when I'm blow drying it, then I don't attempt to brush it at all until it's dry and straight. I lose a lot less hair this way.
What's your tips for haircare in winter?

Child Adoption: All You Need to Know
Adoption is a long and difficult process. It is necessary to consider numerous issues before, during, and after it in order to make it successful and easy both for the parents and the child. In order to achieve this, it is essential to receive all the necessary information before starting the process itself and follow the rules and the guides developed by the government.
Process of Adoption
Adoption is a process of establishing the family ties of the child and parent between the people who are not defined as relatives by the law. It is necessary to note that there are four types of adoption:
- Independent
- Agency
- Stepparent
- Adult
They differ by the kind of process and numerous other issues. For example, the independent adoption supposes that the decision about it is made by the child's parent or legal guardian. At the same time, in the agency adoption, the decision is made by the agency.
In case of a stepparent adoption, the decision is made by the parent and the person who adopts a child must be a spouse of a parent. Finally, the adult adoption is a process when the adopted person is not a minor child but an adult and the decision is made by the adopted person and spouse of the person who wants to adopt. Each kind of the process considers individual circumstances of both the adopted person and those who adopts.
It is notable that any adult or wife and husband together have a right to adopt a child abide by the law. It is important to remember about the consent, the agreement provided in the written form that proves that the adoption process could be carried out. For different kinds of adoption, there are various types of consent that are regulated by the law or by the court and it is necessary to examine each individual case to determine the necessary type of consent.
When a person decides to adopt a child, he or she needs to consider numerous factors that will follow the process. It is extremely important to understand all the requirements to make the process as easy as possible. The basic requirements include such factors as the legal age of prospective parents, which is 21 and older. Moreover, the adoptive parents should have a stable medical condition as well as stable emotional health.
It is also necessary to provide the criminal and marital history, to prove the financial security, and have an appropriate home environment that would be safe and secure for a child. Finally, it is necessary to have parenting education, which will provide the prospective parents with all necessary information. Overall, it is evident that the adoption process is complicated and difficult but, at the same time, it is something worth the efforts.

Home > Health Information > Health Library > Insulin Pump
An insulin pump is a small computerized device that delivers insulin into the body. Using an insulin pump is different from injecting insulin throughout the day using insulin syringes and needles.
Insulin pumps can be programmed to deliver very precise amounts of insulin in a continuous (basal) dose and in carefully planned extra (bolus) doses delivered at specific times throughout the day, usually when eating.
Some pumps connect to the body through a thin tube and needle inserted under the skin, usually in the abdomen. Some pumps attach directly to the body and do not need tubing. Some pump systems use a remote control. Most pumps can hold between 200 and 300 units of insulin, depending on the model used. Some pumps also work as a blood glucose meter or communicate with your meter to adjust your bolus dose of insulin.
Insulin pumps allow flexibility in how a person times his or her meals and snacks. The pumps may help some people to have fewer low blood sugar events (hypoglycemic episodes) than people who inject insulin. The insulin pump is designed to mimic the normal function of the pancreas.

Spirit of Thanksgiving 2012
At Salty's Restaurant in Clifton Park, NY, it doesn't matter if you have a million dollars in the bank. If you don't have anywhere to go for Thanksgiving, you are welcome to join in the "Spirit of Thanksgiving" . No one spends the holidays alone
The Twin Bridge Rotary Club brought the Saratoga Country community together when they asked John Marzilli, owner of the Clifton Park, NY Restaurant Salty's Pub and Bistro, if he would host a non-profit Thanksgiving dinner for anyone in the community back in 2006. It was a HUGE success – they donated more than 350 pounds of food and served 150 people. It's been an annual event ever since. With your help, this year we hope to serve over 350 people.
For Chef Marzilli, Thanksgiving has always been a time of giving back. "When I was a kid, my dad would invite co-workers to our Thanksgiving dinner every year, and I thought that was pretty cool. Before I bought Salty's, I always felt guilty about cooking and wanting so much food around the holidays. Don't get me wrong, I am no Mother Theresa, but I think we all think of the lonely or less fortunate during a holiday." Says Chef Marzilli
Owning Salty's Pub and Bistro has given Chef Marzilli the flexibility to do a lot more than just serve food to the public but the joy of giving back as well to the community. And the community is very appreciative of his generoisty. "Having Thanksgiving at Salty's with my family was the only place we could be we were so happy that John let us into his home," says Genee Klien of Mechanicville.
Both Twin Bridges and Salty's Pub and Bistro believe in the annual "Spirit of Thanksgiving" even can have an even greater impact if more people are able to contribute by either donating food or their time serving.
This year, the annual "Spirit of Thanksgiving" dinner will take place on Thursday, November 22nd. The "come-together" community event was created by both organizations in the spirit that "no one should spend the holiday alone."
"There are so many of us who feel blessed. The "Spirit of Thanksgiving" allows us to share that joy with our friends and neighbors in the Southern Saratoga Area. We invite the community to submit the names of those individuals or family that need an extra boost during Thanksgiving so they can join us," says Tonia Kelley of Twin Bridges Rotary Club
If your agency of organization is in contract with families or individuals who believe would be well served by the Thanksgiving Dinner celebration, contact Sandy McAlonie at 664-1332. Reservations are required. Seating will be on the hour (11 am/ 12 noon/1 pm/2 pm and 3 pm).
TO SIGN UP ONLINE: Please visit www.spiritofthanksgiving.org
"The families and individuals who come to eat cannot believe how much food we are giving away," says Chef Marzilli. "We are even doing limited home deliveries for shut-ins"
Every year there is always food left over, seating is offered by reservation only so be sure to sign up or spread the word early.
You believe in contributing to your community in any way that you can. Why is this so important to you?
JM: I am very selfish person. I do it for me, because it makes me feel good "What goes around, comes around". I want to help the community
What is so unique about Salty's?
JM: You can just tell when you walk into a restaurant if all of the associates are comfortable working there. I learned a long time ago to empower my staff to do the right thing and all will be okay. I tell them all the time to service or cook for our guests like they're our family and i'll worry about the bottom line.
How did you become involved with the "Spirit of Thanksgiving" ?
JM: The twin Bridges Rotary meets at Salty's every Thursday for lunch. I told them what I wanted to do and the rest is history. My Thanksgiving are great now because a bunch of people volunteer to put out a fantastic meal for anyone who wants to come. We don't care if you have a million dollars in the bank, if you have nowhere to go, you are welcome.

The Leisure Society
Biographie The Leisure Society
The Leisure Society
We self-released our first single The Last of the Melting Snow in December 2008, swiftly followed by our debut album The Sleeper. It was named a Rough Trade Album of the Year, and iTunes Singer Songwriter Album of the Year. We were lucky enough to receive a lot of media support during that period, which intensified when Melting Snow, then Save it for Someone Who Cares received two consecutive Ivor Novello nominations for 'Best Song, Lyrically and Musically'. Being the first unsigned artists to be nominated brought with it quite a lot of media attention. The nadir was probably the Sun headline 'Ivor no idea who he is either'. Anyway, we signed to Full Time Hobby, re-releasing The Sleeper (+ bonus disc) and putting out our next 3 records (Into the Murky Water, Alone Aboard the Ark and The Fine Art of Hanging On) with them.
In the intervening years we've enjoyed some amazing highlights and honours; packing the acoustic tent at our first Glastonbury, playing Meltdown Festival for Richard Thompson, then for our hero Ray Davies, (who asked us to record and perform new material with him), getting to work with Brian Eno, helping score our friend Paddy Considine's debut film Tyrannosaur, performing with The Heritage Orchestra at The Barbican, touring the UK's cathedrals with Laura Marling and building our own live following up to a Shepherd's Bush Empire headline show. We're currently finishing off our 5th album, the biggest, most ambitious one yet.

Listen, we've become used to the fact that foreign warmongers use our beautiful little country as scenery for their disputes. The English and the French made a couple of 'scenes' here, the Germans made a fuzz… Twice even. We had Vikings, we had the Spanish. Damnit we had the Dutch and they keep on coming back… We've seen 'em all. And you know what? We're still drinking our exquisite beers, we're still eating our steak and fries and we're still evading taxes. You see: there's not much havoc to wreak here.
Please grow up, go home before we have to lose our cool (ask Julius Caesar).

Weekly Roundup
I don't know about you, but the time between Thanksgiving and the holidays just seems crazy short this year and I have no idea where time is going. I spent the better part of this week finalizing gifts and holiday plans so that I can enjoy the remaining few weeks of the year a little more. This week on my blog, I shared about the recent financial setback that we had and what we are doing about moving forward. I posted on AOL this week and asked whether men or women gossip more in the office. I also wrote on Stacking Benjamins about paying off student loan debt. Finally, my podcast this week was with Shannon from The Heavy Purse about investing.
Posts I Enjoyed This Week:
- Lauren from The Write Budget shared 10 easy and affordable gift package ideas.
- The Frugalwoods shared gift ideas for frugal weirdos.
- Andrew at Living Rich Cheaply explained what it means to have your cake and eat it too.
- Holly at Club Thrifty explained what a healthcare sharing ministry is and why they will be members starting in 2015.
- Alicia at Financial Diffraction talked about adding up the other money you earn during the year.
I am really excited about next week on the blog here. I have a great story about a new and very unusual client, of course a Music Monday, and THE MOST exciting thing is my podcast guest on Friday, my son, Will. We just recorded his podcast, and I was really impressed with him. This weekend, my mother-in-law will be in town and my hubby will be firing up the holiday kitchen. We give close friends jars of his pesto and marinara sauce (red and green) and he will be cooking those up this weekend.
