While writing my last blog post chronicling my early journey with encaustic, I realized that I learned many valuable lessons through it all. Three lessons stood out as being most important while at the same time being those lessons that I'm constantly re-learning as I go.
When I'm teaching, I always begin each day with a quote that works to set the tone for that day and almost always it's a quote from Art & Fear by David Bayles and Ted Orland. If you haven't read it, go get it NOW, read it once and then turn around and read it again. I quote from it often because I read it often, roughly once a year since it was first introduced to me in graduate school. My copy is highlighted almost all the way through because each time I read it I find another valuable snippet that seems to speak directly to me and the struggles I may be going through at the time. All of the quotes from this book were used to write this post unless otherwise noted .
- Experiment often with current and new materials, make lots of samples, document and save them. What you need to know about the next piece is contained in the last piece. the place to learn about your materials is the last use of your materials. The place to learn about your execution is in your execution. The best information about what you love is in your last contact with what you love. Put simply, your work is your guide.
I can't recall where I first heard the 40/60 principle or even if I'm getting the percentages right, but it's something we all must strive to do. The principle works something like this…60% of your studio work should be spent making work you are known for and/or work you are 'comfortable' making using materials, processes and ideas you know well. The remaining 40% should be spent experimenting with new materials, processes and ideas which will generate new work. If you keep doing this, sooner or later the 'new' work begins to seep into the current body of work and eventually it becomes your current body of work. If you apply this principle, your work and you as an artist, will continuously evolve and grow. This sounds great, but many artists may find it difficult to work experimentation into their busy and sometimes, very limited, studio time. What I've done to keep experimentation alive in my studio is average my daily hours and experiment for a percentage of that time-usually about 30 minutes to an hour for every 6-8 hours. I call this work my warm-up drawing time and sometimes will work on the same drawing all week, applying new layers each day (see the featured image above). I have so much fun just playing around with materials in the studio that I've forgotten about. Many times, this experimentation has generated new bodies of work that I would have never conceived of without first experimenting.
Vision is always ahead of execution, knowledge of materials is your contact with reality, and uncertainty is a virtue. I don't mention this in my last post, but my first year of graduate school was very difficult for many reasons. My first review was at the end of my first semester and it was coming up fast, so fast that I was in fear of not having anything to show. One of my committee members suggested just having a wall of samples for my review. I had a few samples, but not nearly enough so I spent 3 straight weeks barely coming out of my studio to make hundreds of samples. Only having limited time as well as keeping in mind that these were just samples prevented me from being too precious and worrying about making a 'finished' work. Those three weeks were perhaps the most painful but most prolific of my total two year experience-more importantly I learned so much about what my materials could do and what I, as an artist, could do. I saved almost all of those samples and I still use most of them as teaching tools today, both in workshops and in my own studio.
- You don't always have to know what you're doing. This lesson could be read two-fold: a) You don't always have to know HOW to do what you're doing and b) You don't always have to know what you're going to make-what it's going to look like. People who need certainty in their lives are less likely to make art that is risky, subversive, complicated, iffy, suggestive or spontaneous. What's really needed is nothing more than a broad sense of what you are looking for, some strategy for how to find it and an overriding willingness to embrace mistakes and surprises along the way. Simply put, making art is chancy-it doesn't mix well with predictability. Uncertainty is the essential, inevitable and all pervasive companion to your desire to make art. And tolerance for uncertainty is the prerequisite to succeeding.
This is likely my favorite quote of all time and I read it in every workshop. It is absolutely essential to keep experimentation, the idea of imperfect perfection and the element of chance in the work at all times. This doesn't mean I'm encouraging you to make sloppy or ill-conceived work, rather, allow for a symbiosis to occur between you and your materials. Allow your materials to do what they do and you to push them gently in a certain direction. Full control and technical perfection is the death-knell for any work of art. It's in the imperfections that true art is made and is the predominant concept behind the Japanese principle of Wabi-Sabi–an awesome subject for any artist to know, but far too complicated to explain here. The best book I have read on the subject is Wabi-Sabi: The Japanese Art of Impermanence by Andrew Juniper and Wabi-Sabi for Artist, Designers, Poets and Philosophers by Leonard Koren is also good.
When I first started working in encaustic, there were no books to refer to, no workshops and barely any information online, so I was basically on my own. I used tools that I already had in the studio, combined encaustic with other materials, basically developed my own processes and ways of doing things with this medium. The result was that I developed a truly original body of encaustic work. I absolutely believe that if I had taken an encaustic workshop, I wouldn't have developed this work or perhaps it would have come much later. On the other hand, taking an encaustic workshop would have saved me two years of improperly ventilating wax fumes as well as understanding the importance of fusing and the reasons why Damar resin is added to the beeswax. While it's okay not to know too much, ALWAYS work safely and technically accurate with your materials. Once you know those things, have fun and let things happen!
Last, a great story illustrating the woe in striving for perfection comes from Art & Fear….The ceramics teacher announced on opening day that he was dividing the class into two groups. All those on the left side of the studio would be graded solely on the quantity of work they produced, all those on the right, solely on the quality. His procedure was simple: on the final day of class he would bring in his bathroom scale and weigh the work of the quantity group: fifty pounds of pots would get an 'A', 40, a 'B', etc. those being graded on quality needed to produce only one pot-albeit a perfect pot to get an A. Well, came grading time and curious fact emerged: the work of highest quality were all produced by the group being graded for quantity. It seems that while the quantity group was busily churning out piles of work and learning from their mistakes, the quality group had sat theorizing about perfection, and in the end, had little more to show for their efforts than grandiose theories and a pile of dead clay. Remember this story every time you strive for perfection and find yourself overworking a piece into oblivion.
- Don't start working on a white background. Inspiration is for amateurs; the rest of us just show up and get to work. If you wait around for the clouds to part and a bolt of lightning to strike you in the brain, you are not going to make an awful lot of work. All the best ideas come out of the process; they come out of the work itself. Things occur to you. If you're sitting around trying to dream up a great art idea, you can sit there a long time before anything happens. But if you just get to work, something will occur to you and something else will occur to you and something else that you reject will push you in another direction. Inspiration is absolutely unnecessary and somehow deceptive. You feel like you need this great idea before you can get down to work, and I find that's almost never the case. –Chuck Close
The fear of the white canvas isn't new, we've all experienced it in one way or another and have developed our own methods of fighting it.I always tell my students that art begins in the head with an idea, flows through the heart, which makes it personal and out through the hand, which makes the actual work. Too much emphasis in any one of those places creates an imbalance in the process. Whenever I have developed a finished work in my head and then tried to make it, I almost always fail due to the frustration that it isn't coming out 'right'. The same thing happens when I try to plan too much before beginning a piece, I get mired in the planning stage and never actually DO anything. The best method for me and one that I suggest to students is to develop a step by step process that will generate a mark, then follow or respond to that mark. The less control you have over that initial mark, the better.
Covering a board with a stained or rust printed fabric and then responding to those marks was the process I developed in grad school. This process enabled me to create subsequent marks to generate paintings I never would have had I started with a white board. It was also important that I didn't have total control over the initial process itself-in a sense the process controlled me and that was just fine.
To see some of the stained fabrics and paintings I created using them, go to my last blog post. I have also presented a talk on generating process and artists who use process in their work-for artist links and a presentation outline go to this blog post.
While we're on the subject of mistakes, learning and re-learning, be sure not to miss my next blog post listing 10 mistakes I have made as an artist.

Background: Inflammatory and nutritional biomarkers have an important bearing on outcomes of acute exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD), but the temporal profile of these compounds during an acute episode is unclear. Patients and Methods: Plasma leptin, prealbumin, and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) were estimated at baseline and before hospital discharge in patients with AECOPD. Results: A total of 82 patients were evaluated (66 males; mean (standard deviation) age, 61.6 (10.1) years. Of these, 74 subjects (90.2%) were current or former smokers, with median (range) pack-years of 15 (0–96), duration of COPD of 8 years (range, 2–25 years) and duration of current symptoms being 5 days (range, 1–30 days). Majority (41.5%) had type I (severe) exacerbation. During the current episode, 46 patients (58.9%) required mechanical ventilation for a median of 6 days (range, 1–34). The median duration of hospital stay was 13 days, (range, 1–110). At discharge, significant reduction was observed in dyspnea, total leukocyte count, erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), partial pressure of carbon dioxide, hemoglobin, urea, creatinine, potassium, aspartate transferase, and TNF-α levels compared to baseline, whereas arterial pH, PO2, serum albumin, prealbumin, and leptin significantly improved. No difference was seen in leptin, prealbumin, and TNF-α between patients with mild/moderate and severe exacerbation, or between patients who required or did not require mechanical ventilation. Change in leptin correlated with body mass index and change in ESR; no associations were observed between leptin, prealbumin, and TNF-α with other clinico-laboratory variables. Conclusion: Plasma levels of novel inflammatory and nutritional biomarkers, i.e., leptin, TNF-α, and prealbumin are altered in AECOPD episodes and lag behind other parameters during recovery. These biomarkers are not reliable predictors of clinical outcomes in these patients.
Keywords: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, inflammatory, leptin, prealbumin, tumor necrosis factor-alpha

DEDICATED volunteers on the Education Group at Bexhill Museum have doubled the number of children visiting the museum on school trips in two years.
Group leader Anne Lucarotti told Mark Redsell, head teacher of Buckswood School,
on Monday, August 19 that the figure was now more than 900 a year.
Part of the secret of the group's success is a £500-a-year educational grant from Buckswood. The Guestling school has 420 students – half of them local children on scholarships and bursaries and half overseas students from 48 nations.
Thanking Mr Redsell for his school's support, Anne explained how the group was creating a Victorian schoolroom in the costume and social history gallery to give young visitors an idea how their forebears were educated.
She showed him examples of the quiz forms which young people enjoy filling in after seeking answers in the museum's three galleries.
Museum chairman John Betts explained that the museum would be celebrating its centenary next year.
?As a charity, we rely very much on people coming through the door. We don't get any large grants?
?What pleases me about the education part of the museum is that it is expanding.
Our founders I am sure would be happy about what is happening because a prime objective was education for children. Kate Marsden (a co-founder) said ?we must have a museum in Bexhill to save the children having to go to Hastings.'?
In the presence of museum curator Julian Porter, Anne Lucarotti and fellow Education Group member Jonathan Ramsay, Mark Redsell handed John Betts a cheque for £500 alongside the Bexhill designed-and-built 1957 Elva Mark III sports-racer in the museum's motor heritage gallery.
With its inter-active displays explaining the principles of steam, petrol and electrical propulsion, the gallery is among the museum's most popular features with children.

Have a loan with BCU, could not make 2 month payment. The bank (so I thought) started the modification process.
While submitting the required documents started to receive letters from an attorney asking to pay the debt. Talked to the lawyer about the modification process. Letters stopped but when I was supposed to receive the package with the final modification documents, the bank sent it to my physical address (which I always said to them has no delivery route established by the USPS). Know this when 3 months after I received a call from the bank notifying that due to the lack of signature on the documents they deny the modification.
I asked for an explanation, the keep saying that they deliver those papers to the physical address but I can start another modification process. While starting this 2nd process received a letter again from the bank lawyer asking for the payment of the debt (which not reflect the payments I continue making), wrote a QWR to the bank lawyer, and shortly after received a foreclosure notification. A while after received another letter from the bank asking to pay the debt, and also wrote a QWR. Still waiting for they response (more than 4 months have passed).
Still battling in court that what they say I owe is not the real amount, they have to credit all the payments I've been making after the 2 I skipped and asked for the Fair Debt Collection Act provisions.
Now waiting for the court. THIS IS A NIGHTMARE!!

I've given the design of this blog a much-needed update and have finally made a wordpress theme (comments welcome).
The whole site now fits nicely into the design of steel-software.com and I'm pleased to say the process wasn't too hard! I followed a guide on Deziner Folio (though don't copy code directly from the website, all the 's and "s are HTML encoded and dreamweaver doesn't like it). I've even managed to make the site widget-enabled which works rather well.
So, in summary, I'm pleased with myself.

"God heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds." Psalm 147:3 NIV
I have always loved this scripture, but when I became a parent, it began to mean even more. Any good parent would protect their children, try to mend them and take care of their injuries. My first instinct is never to scold them for getting hurt, never lecture them or make them feel badly, but to love and comfort them. Now if they need to be reminded or taught a lesson about staying safe, I will do it. But it's out of love, concern and protection.
I have to remind myself of those feelings when I go to God brokenhearted or wounded….He will not be the parent who says, "I told you so" or "Look what you've done". He will be the one to wrap His arms around me, love me, comfort me and help me learn a lesson. Thank goodness!

If you add eggs to anything it´s more or less impossible to fail, it goes great with seafood as well. This recipe is more or less a standard scramble with salted crayfish tail that I marinated with fresh dill and a little bit of lemon juice. The sour cream add a little bit of acidity and it´s nice to serve something cold to a mostly hot dish.
Scrambled egg with dill marinated crayfish and sour cream

Philippians 3:13-14 "Brothers, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.
Why does Satan want so much to accuse us and keep us riddled with any negative emotion he can? Because if he can rob us of the joy of our salvation.... he can render us useless in doing God's work and allowing Him to work through us! Paul is saying that we should press on to "win the prize". If we are in Christ... we are saved, and heaven is ours, but we will answer to God for our works here on earth... and some of us will be rewarded with many crowns, to cast at our Saviour's feet, others with very few. There are many reasons some of us may not be doing all we should be right now... for some it's false guilt, but for others it's fear of rejection, ridicule, anxiety, discouragement, or many other reasons . I chose this verse from the Our Daily Bread designs DT Scripture Collection 3 because it speaks to me.... I tend to be anxious and fearful. Those emotions are just as damaging as guilt, and this verse reminds me not to be discouraged, or afraid. With the full assurance that God will be with us wherever we go, let's press on, for our reward is not on this earth.... it's in heaven!

Police charge 16-year-old driver with negligent homicide in jogger's death
NORWALK -- A 16-year-old New Canaan girl was charged this weekend with negligent homicide with a motor vehicle in the death of Norwalk man, who was fatally struck in late March while jogging on New Canaan Avenue.
The girl, whose identity was not released by police, was also charged with use of a handheld telephone under age 18 and failure to drive in the proper lane. She is due in juvenile court on May 24.
The investigation, which took six weeks to complete, wrapped up on Saturday when the girl turned herself in to the police after learning there was a warrant out for her arrest.
Police Chief Harry Rilling said a forensic analysis of the girl's cell phone records determined she was texting while driving when she fatally struck 44-year-old Kenneth Dorsey on the morning of March 26.
Connecticut's distracted driving laws, which are among the toughest in the nation, prohibit minors from using mobile phones or any mobile electronic devices, including the hands-free type, while driving. Texting while driving is not permitted for any Connecticut driver.
Police say the teenage driver received her license three and a half months before the accident occurred. She was traveling south on New Canaan Avenue in her red sport utility vehicle at about 9:30 a.m. when she veered over the white fog line and struck Dorsey from behind.
The fog line varies between three and four feet in width and is often used as a breakdown lane for motorists. There are no sidewalks on New Canaan Avenue.
Dorsey was badly injured but breathing on his own when police arrived on the scene. He was rushed to Norwalk Hospital, where he died several hours later.
Rilling called the accident "a tremendous tragedy" for everyone involved, and said the case underscores the need for drivers to avoid the use of cell phones and other electronic devices while driving.
"Distracted driving is very hazardous," he said. "People who are driving need to be focused on the road and their surroundings."
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, teen drivers are more likely than other age groups to be involved in a fatal crash where distraction is reported. In 2009, 16 percent of teen drivers involved in a fatal crash were reported to have been distracted.
Following Dorsey's death, pedestrian advocates renewed their call for safer roads, while Norwalk Police stepped up enforcement of distracted driving laws. During the two-day initiative, which was held in mid-April, police issued 215 tickets, including 45 for cell phone use.
Rilling said after the accident that pedestrians would be wise to avoid walking on New Canaan Avenue, a major artery that connects Norwalk and New Canaan.
"That is a very busy road," Rilling said. "It is also a road where people tend to go quite a bit faster than they should ... That is not a road meant for jogging."
Avid runners have argued in letters to The Hour that Dorsey should have been running against the flow of traffic, this way he could have seen the SUV coming and avoided being hit.
Police say Dorsey's exact cause of death is still pending.

Stone Cutting Blades
Alpha Eclipse Q General Purpose Diamond Blade for High-Speed Angle GrindersStarting at $34.10Shipping: Free w/ $49 OrderThe 20mm Quad Drive Alpha Eclipse Q General purpose Diamond Blade is a high performance dry, flush cutting blade designed to cut masonry, concrete, stone, and tile.
Diamond blades for cutting stone come in a variety of configurations and sizes, depending on the stone to be cut, the tool being used and quality of the diamond abrasive matrix and blade disc itself. The harder the stone, the softer the diamond matrix should be on the blade, as a soft matrix will give up the diamond abrasive more easily, However, soft matrix diamond blades wear out faster. All things being equal, the longevity of a blade is based on the segment/rim height, taller rims will last longer. Stone cutting blades can be wet or dry use or both and can be continuous rim or segmented, and turbo blades are an option too. Continuous rim blades are the most accurate and provide the least chipping when cutting stone, while segmented rim blades are faster but more prone to chipping. Turbo blades, while generally being ok for dry use, usually split the difference in speed and propensity for chipping between segmented and continuous rim.

Financial Year 2015-16 is going to end soon and it is the time to submit your investment proofs to your employer. Investment Proofs are the documentary proofs of the investment declaration for tax planning made by the employees to their employer at the beginning of the financial year. This declaration is a provisional statement contains a list of your proposed investments and expenses that you are going to incur in current fiscal year for tax-savings.
Usually there is no prescribed last date of submitting investment proofs however, in general employers asked their employees to submit investment proofs by Mid-January to avoid deduction of additional Tax in form of TDS. This article will tell you what are the investment proofs you need to submit and what happens if you don?t submit it on time.

Why Investment Proofs are required at all?
Employer asks for investment proofs to ascertain the actual TDS deductible from your salary and to calculate TDS, he needs to know tax deductible expenses and tax-savings investments you have made so far in the current fiscal year.
What happens if you do not provide investment proofs to your employer?
Since the onus of deducting TDS (Tax) on your salary income is on your Employer and if you do not provide him your investment proofs then he is forced to deduct TDS on your whole income.
Let?s understand with an example how your Tax is ascertained with or without investment proofs by your employer. Suppose you annual salary income is Rs.6,00,000 and you have made PPF investments of Rs.50,000, repaid home loan of Rs.70,000, home loan interest of Rs.25,000 and lastly LIC and mediclaim premium of Rs.5,000 and Rs.2,500 for the current year. Now if you don not submit any of your expenses and investment proofs to your employer, your TDS would be Rs.45,000 but if you submit the proofs, you tax liability comes only Rs.19.750.
In case you could not submit your investment proofs to your employer and he deducts extra tax, than you can claim the excess TDS deducted while filing your ITR.
What are the documents needs to be submitted as investment proofs to your employer?
Before furnishing the investment proofs you should first know the eligible tax-savings investment under section 80C to 80U and the threshold limit of deduction.

Points to Ponder:
- Last date of submission of investment proofs differs employer to employer. You will get to know the last date by your employer.
- In case you have not utilized your deduction limit u/s 80C to 80U, you can do so by 31st March, 2015 and can claim the same at the time of filing ITR.
- In case you have declared investment higher than that of actual investment and your employer has deducted lesser TDS on that basis, you will have to pay the remaining tax at time of filing of ITR as a self-assessment tax.
- If you miss to submit to submit investment proofs to your employer than also you can claim the same at the time of filing ITR except those deductions which can only be claimed by your employer on your behalf i.e. LTA, medical reimbursements etc.
- It is always advisable to start your tax planning at the beginning of financial year and avoid rushing at the last time to save your hard earned money from investing in junk insurance policies or useless investment plans.

Of all the marijuana bills flitting about the state capitol in Austin this year, Representative David Simpson's is the most radical. Simpson somewhat famously wants to regulate weed like any other crop because, in his words, "God doesn't make mistakes."
It was shrewd gambit by Simpson, appealing to his Tea Party base's love for God and small government. Now, somehow, it has impressed the members of the Texas House Criminal Jurisprudence Committee enough that they voted 5-2 late Wednesday to send the bill on from the committee.
Envisioning Simpson's bill doing anything but withering on the Calender Committee's vine is difficult. Imagining it then being passed by the full Texas House and the clown caucus-controlled Texas Senate is harder still -- although if the bill managed to do all of those things, maybe Governor Greg Abbott would be just distracted enough by Jade Helm 15 to sign it without looking.

The only two members of the committee to vote against legalization were Matt Shaheen and Jeff Leach, both Republicans from Plano. Initially, Simpson's bill passed the committee 5-1 with Leach absent. After he heard about the vote, Leach was surprised -- he hadn't expected the bill to be voted on -- and asked committee chair Abel Herrero for a another vote just so the could register his opposition to the demon weed.

I am not a talented enough writer to give this book the proper review it deserves. I fear I will somehow, unintentionally tarnish the value of this treasure.
This book is long, but the chapters are short. This is a book to be savored, word by precious word.
This is the rare book you find that you want to read from beginning to end in one sitting, but discover you must set it down from time to time in order to think.
I miss the characters already…I miss the seamless jumps from past to present, so expertly written.
I think perhaps, I shall read it again soon, and I beyond highly recommend it.
Very deserving of the Pulitzer Prize it received.

Whilst I have to admit it is lovely to give my hair a good scrub and not have to worry about catching an extension or knotting, I do wish my hair would grow a little more.
Luckily for me, Simply Supplements sent some Sea Kelp tablets my way, which I'll be taking daily to see if it helps boost my hair. Sea Kelp for those that don't know, is a type of seaweed known to be packed full of nutrients and minerals such as Potassium, Magnesium and Calcium. It's been said to help enhance the general health of skin and hair.
mid-length hair ain't all bad, I've been channelling Kimberley Walsh and going for grungy texture. Look out for a YouTube tutorial on how to recreate the look shortly. It's all about the texture this year for me, and it only looks better as the day goes on.

The highly-anticipated Google Glass smart eyewear product has taken a while to clearer vision with regards to a release date, but it appears as though the chance to see the new product on the shelves is now much closer in the sightlines of technology fans, as the search engine giant revealed that they intend for a 'fully-polished' version of the glasses to be in stores by the end of 2013.
Obvious puns aside, a report from The Verge claims that the Google have already released the prototype 'Explorer' version of Google Glass to developers for $1,500 each during the Google I/O conference last June, but that the item being marketed for public use will be below that price.
The Android-powered glasses are set to be a new way to display audio and video, with controls set to come via head tilting or voice recognition, taking up the visual appearance of a thin headband containing with an attached processor and one small glass 'eyepatch'.
Google Glass has already been featured in numerous adverts and promotions, whilst also being seen on people taking the augmented reality system out for real-world 'test runs', including most recently Google co-founder Sergey Brin in New York City (USA).
Likely to be the focal point of any planned line of physical 'Google Stores', along with the new Pixel touchscreen Laptop, will both unlikely proposals from the American company become full reality by the end of this year?

The Affordable Care Act, although complex, had a simple premise. If everyone is engaged in our very expensive healthcare system, then we all are motivated to improve the care. Medicaid was to be the floor but a funny thing happened on the way to health care nirvana. To quote an article in Health Affairs:
The original dream of a seamless, streamlined, no-wrong-door Medicaid, CHIP, advance premium tax credit, and cost-sharing reduction payment application and eligibility determination process has become a much more difficult reach with the Supreme Court's still shocking interpretation of the Constitution's spending clause, permitting the states to decline participation in the Medicaid expansion.
So, we are now into the implementation and we have 25 states who are convinced, if they just hold their collective breath long enough, something really good will happen. People in these states are being told, after they apply, "You are too poor to qualify for health insurance." I guess we'll teach those poor people a lesson.
The Atlantic decided to show the other side of the policy fight in an article published earlier this week. You know the side, the one where poor people get sick and die from lack of access to health care. In this article they follow several people who happen to live in Texas, make less than 138% of poverty, and thus are not granted front door access into the "greatest healthcare system in the world." If we were playing Jeopardy (and who doesn't love Jeopardy) and the answer was, "This large state has refused to expand Medicaid, a program that would give 1,000,000 citizens access into the health care system that they currently are denied," you might say, "What is Texas?" and you would be correct. Then you might say, "One million, Alex? Really?"
This lack of coverage will lead to people who choose not to seek care or are denied needed care. Most of these people will merely suffer excessively. Some will die prematurely. Across America, it will be 27,000 deaths. Over 60 percent of these deaths will occur in either blacks or Latinos, the result of denying access to what almost every other country considers a basic right. Texas researchers estimate that 9,000 folks will die prematurely in Texas. The faces of these people shown in the Atlantic article include Claudia (who almost dies of a surgical misadventure) and Mark (who is dying from throat cancer, in part because no physician will provide the appropriate care).
The John Davidson of Texas Public Policy Foundation has some ideas about how to handle this situation. He thinks we need to focus on access and not insurance, and that well-meaning citizens can provide such access. For example, he cited the CareLink program run by the University Health System in Bexar County, which provides payment plans and sliding-scale rates for families who make less than 300 percent of the federal poverty level. Couple of things about that; It only serves one county, and while it provides for a "sliding fee" of payment, the amount of the bill (at cash rates, not negotiated lower insurance rates) is not adjusted. So the poor are not required to accept demeaning charity; instead, if they are lucky enough to live in Bexar County, they are required to pay an outrageous bill over time, no matter how long that takes. Turns out that 143 counties have a similar programs. Unfortunately Texas has 254 counties.
The Texas Public Policy Institute has a policy paper full of good ideas for how red states can provide care for our unfortunate too-poor citizens. Mostly, their big idea is that doctors will likely volunteer to see those one million people free of charge. I can see how that might seem appealing.
So, the next time "repeal and replace" comes up, I think the "red state doctors see poor people for free (or at least on a sliding scale)" ought to be explicitly part of the legislation. It might not be "seamless and streamlined" but it will at least make the Medical Society meetings more interesting.

I posted this easy recipe on my insta stories last week & had a ton of interest in it! And a ton of requests to publish it on the blog, so by popular demand….here it is! This is so perfect for fall & incredibly easy. You can even prepare it ahead of time & freeze it for later use. It's a healthy & hearty meal packed with savory flavors!
Here's what you'll need:
1 lb lean ground turkey
1 15 oz can organic diced tomatoes
1 8 oz can organic tomato sauce
1 15 oz can organic, low-fat/sodium pinto beans
1 15 oz can organic, low fat/sodium dark red kidney beans
3 cloves garlic
Half a purple or white onion
3 stalks celery
3 Tbsp chili powder
1 tsp cumin
1 Tbsp oregano
*optional* 1 tsp red pepper flakes
*optional* about 1/4 cup chicken stock
Sour cream & shredded cheddar cheese for topping
Salt & pepper to taste
First you'll want to chop up you onion, celery & garlic. I don't like huge chunks of veggies so I cut all of mine up pretty small. That's to your own discretion though 🙂
While you're chopping your veggies, heat up some olive oil in a large skillet. I used about a tablespoon or so.
Toss everything in the skillet & sauté for about 3 minutes or so. Or until the veggies begin to soften. Then you'll want to add in your turkey.
I like to push the veggies to the sides of the pan to get the meat started. Once it starts to brown just keep giving it a good stir to makes sure it all gets cooked through.
Let that meat sit & cook for a few & start adding in your other ingredients to the crock pot. Pour in your tomatoes, tomato sauce, beans [do not drain or rinse] & seasonings.
The last thing I add in is a water & chicken stock mix. I get one of the 15 oz cans and fill it 3/4 with water & 1/4 chicken stock just to give it a tad more flavor. Pour that in the crock pot with your turkey/veggie mix & stir it all together.
Then you let it sit for 2-4 hours on low. Or, at this point I would let the meat and veggies cool then bag it up to stick it in the freezer. If you can let it sit closer to 4 hours the flavors will really mash up!
I like to top mine off with some shredded cheddar or Colby jack cheese & sour cream.
Crackers & cornbread are 👌🏻 with this too. Or pour it over some Fritos for a fancy Frito pie 💁🏻♀.
As always, God bless †
& happy eating

Mumbai, April 25:
Veteran actor Jackie Shroff has shared that he felt like a star when Abhishek Bachchan, now an actor, asked for his autograph back in the 1980s.
"I was shooting for 'Mera Jawab' (released in 1985) in Chennai when two kids came to take my autograph. It was Abhishek and his sister Shweta. I was in a hotel room and Bachchan saab (Amitabh Bachchan) was also staying there.
"He sent them to take my autograph. Someone informed me that Amitabh Bachchan's kids wanted to meet me… wanted my autograph. I felt like a star," Jackie told reporters at the trailer launch of his upcoming film "Housefull 3" here.
Abhishek, who also features in the film, added that Jackie was the "first person whose autograph I have taken in my life". "I was so excited. I was a big fan of his style. I used to wear a bandana on my forehead. Though I did not have a beard then, but I used to pick up drum sticks and act as if I was playing the flute to copy his style."
Jackie shared that Abhishek is a "great kid and focuses on his work only".
"Housefull 3" also features Akshay Kumar, Riteish Deshmukh, Jacqueline Fernandez, Nargis Fakhri and Lisa Haydon.
The romantic-comedy film is set to release on June 3. (IANS)

Mortgage servicer Wingspan Portfolio Advisors and its Wingspan Real Estate Network for brokers rolled out the American Home Remedy platform to expedite the short-sale process this week.
Wingspan Portfolio Advisors said the new American Home Remedy platform is the result of a partnership between Florida technology company, Realty Legal Service, and the Home Counsel Group. The program was established to quicken the short-sale process and eliminate impediments that often cause transactions to fail.
The platform is a one-stop resource where parties can initiate a short sale, manage negotiations and legal issues while handling closing and title services as well as lending and insurance plans. The goal is to accelerate attorney-assisted short sales, offering legal guidance every step of the way.
The process of having attorneys involved in a short sale creates a more streamlined process by offering easily available legal advice. Attorneys will also review paperwork for compliance purposes. This helps agents deal with homeowner association issues that could arise during a short sale, added a spokesperson for the company.
The real estate agency can also handle negotiations with the bank, allowing the agent to focus on the home sale and deal with the buyer's agent, the spokesperson said.
"American Home Remedy leverages the tremendous strengths of its partners to create a powerful tool for fast, compliant and accurate short-sale management," said Chris Plummer, WREN's managing director.
"Wingspan Portfolio Advisors, a leading mortgage servicer, and WREN, with its real estate expertise, are the ideal complement for the RLS technology platform and HCG, with their existing and growing network of law firms."
Short sales that are officiated in a streamlined manner can help distressed homeowners avoid foreclosure.
Recognizing it as a helpful tool when conducted efficiently, the National Association of Realtors also said it is working with the Treasury to educate and help Realtors to assist homeowners through the short-sale process.

Beckman Institute Graduate Student Seminar Set for March 28
The Wednesday, March 28 Beckman Institute Graduate Student seminar will feature three short presentations: Optical Guidance of Breast Needle Biopsy Procedures by Adam M. Zysk. Microfluidic Assembly of Granular Shells and Janus Colloidal Granules by Robert F. Shepherd. Cardiorespiratory Fitness, Cognition and Multiple Sclerosis: An fMRI Investigation by Ruchika Shaurya Prakash. The seminar is open to the public and will be held in Beckman Institute Room 1005. Lunch will be served.
The Beckman Institute Graduate Student Seminar Series presents the work of outstanding graduate students working in Beckman research groups. The seminars are open to the UIUC campus.
The next seminar will be Wednesday, March 28 at noon in Room 1005 of the Beckman Institute. Speakers and abstracts are listed below:
Optical Guidance of Breast Needle Biopsy Procedures
Adam M. Zysk
Over 500,000 needle-based biopsies are performed each year to diagnose suspicious breast lesions. About 10% of these procedures yield non-diagnostic tissue and, hence, an inconclusive diagnosis. This problem often results in additional surgical procedures due primarily to the lack of an effective tool to assist clinicians with microscopic needle placement in non-palpable lesions. We have developed a needle-based optical device that interfaces with an optical coherence tomography (OCT) system to reveal microscopic details of tissue. The device is capable of measuring multiple optical tissue parameters, including changes in scattering and refractive index, potentially giving clinicians the ability to differentiate between normal and suspicious tissues. Data from the device will be shown, including data recently acquired from surgical specimens in the operating room.
Microfluidic Assembly of Granular Shells and Janus Colloidal Granules
Robert F. Shepherd
The microfluidic assembly of colloid-filled hydrogel drops and dried granules of varying shape and composition is investigated. Drops are formed by shearing a concentrated colloidal microsphere-acrylamide suspension in a continuous oil phase using a sheath-flow or a double emulsion capillary device. Silica microspheres are synthesized with different fluorescent cores to allow direct visualization of the process. Homogenous and Janus (hemispherically distinct) spheres and disks are produced by confining the assembled drops in microchannels of desired geometry while granular shells of micron size colloids are produced in a double emulsion micro-capillary device. To preserve their drop structure, photopolymerization of an acrylamide-based hydrogel solution is carried out immediately after drop-breakup. Representative drops and dried granules are imaged using fluorescence and scanning electron microscopy to probe their structural evolution during assembly. Our approach offers a facile route for assembling colloid-filled hydrogel drops and dried granules with controlled morphology and composition.
Cardiorespiratory Fitness, Cognition and Multiple Sclerosis: An fMRI Investigation
Ruchika Shaurya Prakash
Deficits in cognitive abilities are commonly observed among individuals with multiple sclerosis (MS). The existence of altered cerebral activations in MS provides hope for the utilization of neural resources to reduce cognitive deficits that challenge everyday living in MS by employing alternative interventions such as cognitive and fitness training. In this study, we examined whether higher physical fitness levels enhance cognitive and neural plasticity in MS patients. 24 participants with relapsing remitting MS were recruited for the study. All participants went through a fitness assessment and were scanned in a 3T MRI system during the Paced Visual Serial Addition Test (PVSAT). Higher fitness levels were associated with faster behavioral performance and greater recruitment of right IFG/MFG, a region of the cerebral cortex recruited by MS patients during performance of PVSAT to purportedly compensate for the cognitive deterioration attributable to MS. In contrast, lower levels of fitness were associated with enhanced ACC activity, suggestive of the presence of greater interference and the potential for error in lower fit MS participants. These results are promising, suggesting the need for further investigation of the utility of aerobic fitness training as a possible method to support the development of additional cortical resources in an attempt to counter the cognitive decline resulting from MS.

I have a short essay on birds and poetry craft up at Tahoma Literary Review. TLR published my poem "The Chicken Poem" in their summer print issue; it should be available online at the TLR site shortly.
I had a blast writing the essay and hadn't realized how much I actually know about birds.
P.S. I like birds just fine. It's just envy speaking.

In our family, holiday feasts always end with pumpkin pie. I don't know when or how it became a tradition, but I can tell you in my family pumpkin pies are taken very seriously. Perhaps it was because my mother made pies that won purple ribbons at the County Fair.
Anyway, I remember one Thanksgiving when we had dealt with most of the bird, lots of dressing (and actual stuffing in those days), and the many side dishes that make a holiday feast wonderful. It was time for what everyone had really been waiting for all day–the pumpkin pies. There was a sense of anticipation amidst all the noisy hubbub of relatives who hadn't seen each other for months.

I have 3 DSR-704s that are upgraded.
1 has an HD I bought from DVRPlayground with PTVNet
The other two I upgraded myself using InstantCake and PTVNet I bought from DVRPlayground.
All are working just fine except 1 (one that I upgraded) doesn't report a default gateway like the other two.
All machines use the same DHCP server, so they should all be getting the same default GW. But onw isn;t for some reason.
Any ideas where to look and what to look for?

Madden 18 – NFC South – CFM Preview – Team Grades
Madden 18 – NFC South – Team Preview
Continuing with our team previews for the upcoming Madden 18 we turn our attention to the NFC South. Where the competition is going to be like the weather – HOT! – There is plenty to like in this division and it is likely one of the few divisions where we have two teams who get A's!
Our Resident Madden Guru DaBurg provides his analysis on the division and believe it or not he doesn't try to sell his Panthers too high!
Also we are joined by Special Guests from the guys at Brits in End Zone Podcast who provide their pick of the NFC South! If you haven't heard of them give them a follow today Here
Carolina Panthers
The Panthers are the Super Bowl 50 runners-up and had a lack luster 2016 campaign finishing (6-10) and dead last in the NFC South. Many claim that their fall was due to the exit of All-Pro corner Josh Norman but that isn't entirely accurate. The likely culprit is loss of key veteran leadership and WR (Jerricho Cotchery ), Safety (Roman Harper), CB Charles "Peanut" Tillman and DE Jared Allen. Additionally, the talented but often injured Jonathan Stewart and Michael Oher played a role in their mediocrity.
Player to Watch: Christian "Run-CMC" McCaffrey – While not the best pure RB taken in the draft I do believe that he is the most dynamic. He's a guy who has great speed, instincts and agility with hands that could see him lining up in the slot in certain situations. Most of all he's a guy with something to prove as many in the media have downplayed his athleticism.
Over-Rated Player: Jonathan "Mr. Glass" Stewart – I consider J-Stew a top 10 back when healthy but the problem is just that, he's injured a lot. With him aging, history of injuries and depth at the RB position-It will be hard to move or justify keeping him with his $6,175,000 cap hit. If regression and injuries are like they were in M17, you should look to ship him to a cap heavy team in need.
Weakness: Secondary- Their secondary woes are twofold. Firstly, the loss of veteran leadership in the secondary, along with All-Pro CB Josh Norman jumping ship. Lack of consistent pressure from front 7 has now made less experienced secondary more porous, as seen in their first half of the season. James Bradberry was statically the best rookie corner last year so that's promising for their young/inexperienced secondary. With all that being said, this is Madden. So unless EA accurately represents their defensive struggles they will still be 2015 good.
Wrap-Up: Overall the team has talent in all the right places. Stud TE in Greg Olsen, Dual threat QB in Cam Newton, diversity in the backfield with the duo of Stewart and McCaffrey , speedster who can stretch the field in WR Samuel. With 17.5M in cap space and only two noteworthy players needing to be resigned (Thomas Davis and Star Lotulelei) within the first two years of your CFM.
Despite their SB hangover without the SB, the Carolina Panther are a Madden ready team. They have talent with long contracts on both sides of the ball. Their depth at WR and RB could lend a trade savvy coach more ammo for trade negotiations.
Connected Franchise Grade: B-
Atlanta Falcons
The Falcons are the Super Bowl 51 runners-up and had an amazing 2016 campaign finishing (11-5) and 1st NFC South. Their offense was amazing as they put up 33.8 points per game last year.
Player to Watch: Julio "Panther Poacher" Jones – The guy is an absolute nightmare for opposing secondary. Can run any route, can go across the middle and over top and most of all has shown the ability to make tough catches in traffic during clutch moments. Julio is a legitimate redzone threat that attracts so much attention he can help the novice and even the most experienced CFM player thrive.
Over-Rated Player: Mohamed "Didn't Do Nothing" Sanu – For a guy last season that signed 5 year $32.5M with 14.0M in guaranteed money, you'd think he'd have more production. Depending on your style of play, you should be asking yourself a few things. Will he get an opportunity to produce in my offense? Are his ratings in Madden solid? If not, will he be able to get enough XP in my system to make his contract easier to swallow? Last thing you want is a guy eating up cap space that's putting up #3WR stats, but getting fringe #1WR money.
Weakness: Defense(but only kind of) Here's the thing with the Falcons. In real life, they struggle to stop anyone especially, on short passes. With a bottom third ranked pass rush. It's no surprise teams were able to consistently get through their reads. This was evidenced by their often mentioned SB 51 meltdown. With that being said they have speed, youth and athleticism on defense (insert drool Emoji). So unless Madden finds a way to truly represent their short comings via attributes, I think it's safe to say their D will be Madden solid.
Wrap-Up: The Falcons have kept the main contributors to their success on the roster and added where they were lacking. With a Madden good defense, the MVP at the helm, a deadly duo at RB and of course Mr. Jones terrorizing secondary. It's hard to see this team slipping outside the top five.
The major thing to be mindful of is Matt "Matty Ice" Ryan. He's getting up in age (32) and is on the tail end of a huge contract. Depending on player regression this year and your cap situation after year one (current cap is $6.8M), you may want to look at getting some youth at the position. Majority of his 2018 salary is bonus free so you could cut ties and free up some much needed cap space after year once.
Connected Franchise Grade: A-
New Orleans Saints
There's a reason the "Who Dat" nation is often referred to as Drew Brees & Co. It's because he's essentially it. With their main playmaker Brandin Cooks gone to NE to play for Bill "Clipboard Jesus" Belichick, who else can you instantly say you'd want on your team?
Player to Watch: Marshon Lattimore – This one is pretty straight forward. He's rookie CB with great ball skills, on a rookie contract who playing on a team that was dead last in pass D. He literally has nowhere else to go but up. I see him filling opposing coaches with regret for testing out the young corner.
Over-Rated Player: Drew "Breezus" Brees – I know it's blasphemy that I'm calling a stud and future HOF'er "overrated". Here's why -we all know Madden hates old people and Drew is a Madden senior citizen. Not to mention he's an expensive one $19.0M due to him for the 2017 season. He will either retire on you or become an expensive pensioner if you keep him around too long.
Weakness: Defense- Their D was mediocre at best last season but they've taken action to improve. They have added youth (big plus in Madden) and experience at each level of the defense. Let's just hope the additions translate well into CFM.
Wrap-Up: Overall the team has potential if you are a seasoned CFM player. However, if you are new to Madden and struggle getting more from less(meaning lots of season 2 resigning's and only $13M cap), you should pick a different team.
There's an opportunity to draft a young QB to replace Brees and use the combo of Ingram and Peterson to help your young QB in the second year of you CFM.
Connected Franchise Grade: D
Tampa Bay Buccaneers
We all know this team hasn't really been relevant since their Derrick Brooks/Warren Sapp days but that may just change with the 2017 season. They are coming off their first winning season since 2010 and may challenge for the ever changing NFC crown.
Player to Watch: Jameis "Krusty Krabs" Winston – Jameis Winston has the opportunity to do great things for your CFM. He's a young QB that has improved consistently since he's been in the league. He has walking mismatches to throw to in O.J "Da Juice Man" Howard and Mike"n'Ike" Evans. With the changes to Madden having attributes play a large role, it's imperative you keep this good young QB. One down side is he's got two seasons left on his rookie contract, so you'll likely pay big money to keep him. * Or you could just throw a few crab legs in to sweeten the pot*
Over-Rated Player: Brent"Optimus" Grimes – While we all know he's a beast in real life, his age and salary will be his undoing in Madden. I've said it before; Madden hates old people and at 34 Grimes is Madden old. He becomes an unrestricted free agent after the 2017 season so you can be free of him rather quickly if need be. Like any old veteran regression should factor in how much you're willing to spend to keep him.
Weakness: Cornerback- They are a team with an aging veteran and young, year two player at CB. It's likely opponents will become more pass happy with the additional of WR/DB battles and changes to passing in M18, you'll need to ensure this position group doesn't become a liability.
Wrap-Up: Overall the team has a good combination of youth and experience at most position groups. With $23.0M in cap space and all your key players locked up a until at least year three, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are a top five CFM team in my opinion.
Connected Franchise Grade: A
Special Guests Pick!!!! – @Brits_EndZone – JP
Falcons – 'Highest scoring offence – Julio Jones – if you were to build the perfect wide receiver from scratch it would be him. Freeman and Coleman great duo and Matty Ice (minus the last quarter of a superbowl)'
Once again thanks to the guys at BritsInTheEndZone with their analysis on the division. if you haven't checked out their podcast before I suggest you do you can find out more about them Here
Thanks to Burg for his pick – How do you think he went? Do you think the Bucs are overated? Was he too harsh on the Saints and his hatred for them graded them lower? Would love to hear your thoughts and reaction. Continue to keep an eye on the site over the week as more divisions will be previewed.

Very Good 8.4 From 164 reviews
This hotel is right on the beach, close to really great restaurants and shops. It's very clean and posh and the cleaners pay attention to detail. I had a great time staying here. Free coffee, robe and a large buffet breakfast every morning was included. It was very nice sipping expresso on the balcony overlooking the pool every morning. I will definitely stay here again.
Check in was quick and we were greeted with a cold towel and cold tea. The room was spacious but the cleanliness was okay. We felt the room was not cleaned prior to our visit or the room did not have someone stay in it for awhile before our arrival. The next day we definitely felt a difference once housekeeping finished. The first day we noticed ants randomly throughout the room and bathroom and we informed the staff along with bedding that had dirt on it. Nothing was done, so the first night was a little uneasy. The second night was a lot better as we noticed clean bedding, however, we woke up to a trail of ants on the wall. We called again, and finally someone came with a broom and some bug spray. We were surprised they didn't change our room, rather just sprayed the room. Outside of that, the service was good as they called restaurants for us to see reservation times. They even allowed us to leave our checked bags in this manager's office as we spent 3 nights island hopping. The breakfast was really good. The room did have a safe and WiFi. We did have hot water but it was difficult to control as it switched from scalding hot to ice cold randomly.
Great location. Responsive staff. Fantastic guest relations manager had perfect suggestions for activities.
Very nice place!!!!! Staff super helpful
Great location. Nice hotel but need some repair works as rains water leak from ceiling along the corridor , entrance to the lobby etc. Good services, only one staff at the front desk can communicate well in English though. An average breakfast. A bit pricey, basically just pay for the great location, right in the middle of Aonang beach.

The lions outside the Art Institute of Chicago on Wednesday joined thousands of Blackhawks fans in wearing the National Hockey League team's colors.
The two massive bronze lions were fitted with Blackhawks helmets on the day of the first Stanley Cup finals game between the hometown team and the Lightning.
The massive bronze statues standing guard outside the museum's Michigan Avenue entrance have touted local sports teams before. They adorned Bears and White Sox helmets when those teams made their own championship runs.
They are also used to celebrate the Christmas season, when they're each decorated with wreaths.

Compassionately Leading People Toward Wholeness
SpringHaven Counseling Center is located in the gently rolling hills of Wayne and Holmes Counties, an ideal setting for Equine Assisted Counseling (EAC). EAC is offered in addition to or in place of traditional office therapy sessions. Interactive and experiential with a specialized treatment team, EAC allows individuals to learn from natural successes, mistakes, and consequences.
The focus of Equine Assisted Counseling is not riding or horsemanship, but rather self-exploration, insight, skills building, and learning. Horses, being social animals, are natural communicators. Through relationship and structured scenarios in EAC, horse and human interact with and impact each other emotionally and behaviorally. The horse's honest emotional responses provide opportunities for immediate feedback and shifts in maladaptive, problematic, or unwanted behavior and thinking patterns.
