Defense Health Care:
2008 Access to Care Surveys Indicate Some Problems, but Beneficiary Satisfaction Is Similar to Other Health Plans
GAO-10-402: Published: Mar 31, 2010. Publicly Released: Mar 31, 2010.

The Department of Defense (DOD) provides health care and mental health care through its TRICARE program. Under TRICARE, beneficiaries may obtain care through TRICARE Prime, an option that includes the use of civilian provider networks and requires enrollment. TRICARE beneficiaries who do not enroll in this option may obtain care from nonnetwork providers through TRICARE Standard, or from network providers through TRICARE Extra. In addition, qualified National Guard and Reserve servicemembers may purchase TRICARE Reserve Select, a plan whose care options are similar to those of TRICARE Standard and TRICARE Extra. We refer to servicemembers who use TRICARE Standard, TRICARE Extra, or TRICARE Reserve Select as nonenrolled beneficiaries. The National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2008 directed GAO to analyze the adequacy of DOD's surveys of TRICARE beneficiaries and providers and report what the surveys' results indicate about access to care for nonenrolled beneficiaries. To do so, GAO evaluated the surveys' methodology by interviewing DOD officials and reviewing relevant documentation, including the Office of Management and Budget's (OMB) survey standards. GAO also assessed the surveys' results by interviewing DOD officials, obtaining relevant documentation, and analyzing the response rates and data for both surveys.
DOD's implementation of beneficiary and provider surveys for 2008, the first of a 4-year survey effort, followed the OMB survey standards for survey design, data collection, and data accuracy. In addition, DOD generally addressed the survey requirements outlined in the mandate in implementing its 2008 beneficiary and provider surveys but did not give a high priority to selecting geographic areas with a high concentration of Selected Reserve servicemembers. Instead, for both of its surveys, DOD randomly selected areas to produce results that can be generalized to the populations from which the survey samples were drawn. DOD plans to cover the entire United States at the end of the 4-year survey period, which will include any locations with higher concentrations of Selected Reserve servicemembers. In its analysis of the 2008 beneficiary survey data, GAO estimated that a higher percentage of nonenrolled beneficiaries in surveyed areas where TRICARE Prime is offered (Prime Service Areas) experienced problems accessing care from network or nonnetwork primary care providers than beneficiaries in surveyed areas where TRICARE Prime is not offered (non-Prime Service Areas)--30 percent and 24 percent, respectively. GAO also found that beneficiaries in the surveyed areas most often experienced access problems related to providers' willingness to accept TRICARE payments, regardless of whether they lived in a Prime or non-Prime Service Area. Additionally, GAO's comparison of this survey data to related data from a 2008 Department of Health and Human Services' survey showed that beneficiaries in the surveyed Prime and non-Prime Service Areas rated their health care satisfaction similarly to each other and to beneficiaries of commercial health care plans, but slightly lower than Medicare beneficiaries. GAO found that the results for the 2008 provider survey are not representative of all physicians and mental health providers in the geographic areas surveyed, but the results do provide information about access to care based on the specific views of the respondents. According to a DOD official, generalizability of provider survey results to the entire country will likely be possible at the end of the 4-year survey period. GAO's review of the 2008 provider survey results indicates that a lower percentage of respondents in Prime Service Areas reported awareness and acceptance of TRICARE than respondents in non-Prime Service Areas. Additionally, there were differences between responding physicians and responding mental health providers, such as psychiatrists and clinical psychologists, regarding their awareness and acceptance of TRICARE. For example, 81 percent of physicians who responded reported that they would accept new TRICARE patients, if they were accepting any new patients at all, compared to 50 percent of mental health providers who responded. In commenting on a draft of this report, DOD concurred with GAO's overall findings and provided technical comments, which GAO incorporated as appropriate.

Shag Capital is centrally located in the Main Street Section in North Myrtle Beach South Carolina better known as the "O.D. Section" better known as Ocean Drive in the heart of it the best place to live and dance the night away.
Shag District
Join us in September!!!
Shaggin has a long history in North Myrtle Beach, SC
History info provided courtesy of: http://www.shaggin4fun.com/
|What is the History of Shag Dancing?
Question: What is the History of Shag Dancing?
The beginning of the Shag phenomenon was in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. However, in much of Eastern North Carolina, the Shag culture has deep roots. Shag dancing was one of the first examples of African-American culture bleeding over into the mainstream. Young, white college kids would routinely visit racially segregated dances, learn the steps, and bring them back to the predominantly white beach communities for the classic open-air beach parties along the coast. These young dancers asked radio stations to play more rhythm and blues, creating a movement so sturdy that there are still radio stations throughout the Carolinas with solely "beach music" play lists.
Similar to Swing Dancing
Officially born in the 1950s, Shag dancing is similar to Swing dancing and consists of a six-count foot pattern. Billy Jeffers and "Chicken" Hicks are two of the "founding fathers" of Shag, credited with developing the dance by slowing down the original tempo of the jitterbug and incorporating sexier, looser movements into it.
Today there are well over 100 shag clubs stretching from Baltimore to Miami and pushing farther West every day. Many of the clubs offer lessons for people who are interested in learning the art. Dancers from all over the country visit Shag dance clubs on the weekends to have a drink, catch up with old friends and Shag dance until the early hours of the morning.
Shag enthusiasts come from all walks of life, all ages and are some of the nicest down to earth people you can meet on the coast. They simply love to bring new people into the art.
Shag Contests, Events and Celebrations
The epitome of Shag dancing is participation in the numerous events and competitions available along the seaboard. Founded in 1980, the Society of Stranders (SOS) is an organization that enjoys, upholds and perpetuates the traditions of Shag music and dancing. SOS hosts week long events in Myrtle Beach throughout the year, professional competitions and even boasts the only Shag "Hall of Fame" showcasing the best the sport has to offer.
Social Clubs for Dance Enthusiasts
To preserve the history and culture of the dance, social groups like the Atlantic Beach Shag Club from Atlantic Beach, North Carolina span the coastal regions. Comprised of 266 members, the Atlantic Beach Shag Club holds monthly meetings and is always welcoming new members at their numerous functions, cookouts and parties throughout the year. These social groups work not only to share the fun and excitement of Shagging, but work tirelessly to give back to the community through charity fund raisers and benefits.
President of Atlantic Beach Shag Club, Robert E. Lee, a big man with an even bigger personality, said "Atlantic Beach Shag Club was founded in 1990, but became officially chartered in 1996. We recently did a survey of our members and our membership is made up of people form 37 different Eastern North Carolina towns. There are now 45 different social Shag clubs in North Carolina with a total number of members somewhere between 5,000 and 6,000."
Whether you're a professional dancer interested in learning a new art, and participating in Carolina culture, or a beginner looking to explore a unique way to meet new people, Shag dancing is a part of our history that you simply shouldn't miss out on.

The loyalty power of 'customer first' teams
The loyalty power of 'customer first' teams
However, Xerox didn't capitalize on the opportunity this represented. Their executives only saw Xerox as the leading copier company, and no amount of effort by the Palo Alto engineers and researchers could change their minds. Instead, young entrepreneurs like Steven Jobs and Bill Gates, who were exposed to what was going in Palo Alto, incorporated Xerox's leading-edge ideas into their own work. Today, Xerox is in a catch-up position within the computer industry, rather than leading it.
What are the key lessons here? We believe it's that the voice of the customer wasn't a focus within Xerox, and that the combined strength of staff beliefs and customer interest weren't sufficient to move executives to support and encourage the development activity. Companies succeed in their markets – and succeed in keeping the customers they want – by using mechanisms which enable them, at all times, to be as close to their customers as possible. Perhaps the best ways to do this are through flatter organizational structures and formation of 'customer first' teams throughout the company.
It's safe to say that most companies give little or no thought to creating a team-based culture that optimizes employees' efforts to create customer loyalty, and at the same time, building in team mechanisms to keep customers from defecting..
Creating a team-based customer culture requires an understanding of the customer, and then reflecting that understanding in the structure and systems that are designed. Two key questions should be asked:
1. How well and how often is teamwork directed at the goal of customer loyalty in the company?
2. What approaches can be taken to move from a traditional hierarchical structure to become a customer-focused organization?
Although somewhat rare, there are companies that have been able to effectively create teams, and demonstrate teamwork, where the customer is intimately involved. Examples of this are Southwest Airlines, where customers are included in teams making personnel hiring decisions and Chrysler Corporation, where their Design Center has customers participate with teams of technical company specialists in developing new vehicle concepts. In the car rental industry, one company created a cross-functional team which included customers to address a major customer headache – transaction time involved in the rental itself. One result of their work was the upgraded service which enabled customers to be taken directly to their vehicles without having to stand in line or fill out paperwork.
The Value of Customer-First Teams
IBM has refocused its business. The guiding vision of CEO Louis Gerstner is to make IBM the information technology company for America's corporations. As he's said, "I came here with the view that you start the day with customers, that you start thinking about a company around its customers, and you organize around customers." Much of IBM's new focus, commitment, and service orientation has been achieved through a more team-based architecture.
When Gerstner arrived at IBM in 1993, he saw through the company's problems to its strengths and opportunities. IBM was able to provide clients an array of data management and manipulation solutions, and what tied everything together could be summed up in one word - services. The company has been transformed over the past few years into a standout technology services company, becoming significantly more customer-oriented along the way.
David Gee is an example of how IBM is gradually turning itself inside out to get closer to customers. In the basement of IBM's Almaden Research Center in San Jose, Gee heads up a team of twelve staffers whose mission has been to reinvent how the company does business. Their program, alphaWorks, is IBM's 'online laboratory' which was created to change how the company commercializes products and communicates with customers. As Gee says, "And part of our job is to shake up the status quo. We want to get in trouble. We bend the rules."
AlphaWorks has not only introduced five new Internet-based products, but it has achieved success in a manner which would have been a much greater challenge within the structure of the 'old' IBM. Gee's team has assembled a network of over 60,000 users who get to demo and experiment with alphaWorks new ideas. In other words, they've found a way to incorporate customers directly into the development, and follow-up operational support aspects, of their programs. That has made a significant impact on the rest of the company. As Gee has concluded, "I'm not going to tell you that we've changed the world. But, we are making a difference. And in a company this size, even a small win is a huge victory." If a large company like IBM can see the advantages of customer-first teams, any company can.
Tom Peters has said that, in the future: "Most work will be done by project teams. The 'average' team will consist of various people from various 'organizations' with various skills. Networks of bits and pieces of companies will come together to exploit a market opportunity." Such can certainly be the case with customer loyalty and customer recovery programs. There are several advantages to networked, team-based structures as opposed to traditional hierarchies as they strive to create value for customers. They include better, more quickly shared information, greater decision agility, aster response time, and greater customer contact, as well as:
- Flattened, matrix-based organizational structures for greater efficiency
- Minimizing non-value added functional activities, better use of staff time and talent
- Assigning ownership of performance
- Greater opportunity for self-management and a wider scope of work in each job
- Linking performance objectives, and individual and team performance to customer loyalty
- More targeted employee training and skill development
The Math Works in Natick, Massachusetts, is a matrix-run company where everyone in the entire organization is on multiple cross-functional teams. A leading developer of high-level math software, The Math Works has several hundred staff and over 100,000 customers. They have succeeded in weaving cross-functional teams and customers not only into their structure, but into their culture and company values as well. Ellizabeth Haight, The Math Works' Vice President of Operations, spearheaded the structural move to teams several years ago. Here's how she describes what they've accomplished:
"We pretty much have a matrix-run organization. Title doesn't mean much here. Everything we do is through cross-functional teams, at every level. So, the goal here is to get the right people with the right knowledge in the room, not to get the people with the right title in the room."
People come in to our company expecting to work cross-functionally. Another thing that has helped make us successful is that we've rolled out values that people live by. We went through a process of discovering what our values were, and we invited people throughout the organization in defining what they were. We've now folded values into everything we do, whether it's management training, people's vocabulary, how they act, and even what they're rated against.
I think we've been successful with it mostly because it's from the President on down. The President lives these values, and I think that's where a lot of companies go wrong. They discover what they are, they roll the values out, and then the Executive Group goes off and behaves in any manner they want."
Teams Put Patient Service On The Road To Recovery
A fitting final example of how customer-first teams can impact customer loyalty, customer win-back – and staff loyalty as well – comes from Baptist Hospital in Pensacola, Florida. Several years ago, Baptist Hospital had patient service performance which ranked them close to the bottom of all hospitals in national surveys. This situation also contributed to both declining patient populations and low staff morale.
Hospital executives were determined to turn this around. Quint Studer, then the hospital's president, said, "We had to create the type of environment where people drive by two other hospitals to get here." Baptist Hospital formed ten cross-functional employee teams to examine every aspect of value delivery to patients and their families. More than 150 hospital employees now participate as team members. Each team has membership as diverse as corporate vice presidents and cafeteria workers.
The product of the teams' work has been literally hundreds of recommended and applied which, viewed collectively, have significantly upgraded patient care. Among the changes they made were:
- Development of a series of scripts for staff to use when interacting with patients. For example, after cleaning a room, janitors are trained to offer their help to patients, such as closing a window shade, changing the volume on their television set, or opening or closing doors. Calls to nurses for such chores have declined by 40%.
- Empowering employees to spend up to $250 to replace lost patient property or purchase flowers in response to patient complaints.
- Encouraging employees to be more proactive with patients. Accomplishments are featured in hospital newsletters and local newspapers. One example is a hospital cashier who voluntarily washes laundry for patients' out-of-town visitors.
Patients and their families have seen the tangible differences in patient service. As a family member of a Baptist Hospital patient remarked, "We got lost when my mother was a patient here, and a cleaning lady, instead of pointing, took us where we needed to go."
Today, Baptist Hospital's service performance ranks among the very best in national customer surveys, its market share has significantly improved, staff morale is higher, and staff loss – and the money previously spent for recruiting as a result of turnover – has declined. Hospital executives do their part to sustain the culture of commitment. They regularly e-mail patient comments to department heads and key team members. One recent e-mail described praise from a parent of a patient on the outstanding performance of Baptist's ER department and Heart Center, and it speaks directly to the positive impact of teams on customer recovery:
"Her son was a patient here recently, and she said the kindness, care and compassion exhibited by these people was incredible. In fact, she said she didn't like Baptist before this encounter, but that she would seek her future healthcare here."
Baptist Hospital is now using their superior performance in patient care and services as a springboard for moving to an even higher plateau. As described by Pam Bilbrey, Baptist Hospital's Vice President of Marketing: "We're pushing ourselves to move past the passion of service excellence to the next stage: customer loyalty."
What Kinds of Teams Will Enhance Customer Loyalty – Or Bring Back Lost Customers?
As demonstrated by Baptist Hospital, companies have lots of options with the kinds of loyalty-enhancing project teams they can form or the tasks they can accomplish. There could be a team that examines products and services. Elements of the company's array of products and service offerings could be analyzed for potential negative impact on customer loyalty. Team members would evaluate trends in usage of the product or service by product group, setting up or drawing from a database of customer information on their usage, and perhaps conducting original qualitative or quantitative research or getting direct input from current or former customers during team meetings.
Another team might look at communication methods and contact processes. For instance, are there elements of the company's customer service techniques, such as the words or the tone representatives use with customers, that can be improved? Are hiring and training practices optimal? Is it easy or difficult to reach the supplier to place an order, or ask a question? Finding out where staff require training, or processes need to be improved, can greatly increase the value created for customers, as can bringing in the most customer-oriented new staff. Do methods of communication convey value to customers? Do they strategically differentiate your company in a positive way? Does the company have listening posts for regularly hearing the customer's voice, and understanding how customers feel about the company and its competitors? These can certainly be a team focus.
One company which has a customer relationship management team is Vistakon, the Johnson & Johnson company which produces and distributes disposable contact lenses. Vistakon is an organization which actively believes in using multi-level, cross-functional teams for addressing key decisions. This team was formed to survey their customers' needs and expectations, measure the company's effectiveness in meeting these needs and expectations, and deliver useful, actionable information to their internal business partners.
Does the company take advantage of new technologies, such as online customer personalization and targeted messaging? Is the company's information system set up to aid in decision-making regarding customer loyalty? Is the computer set up to use all of cross-functional teams could evaluate the company's Web site for areas of greater potential customer value. A team could be assembled to analyze customer complaint data, both those that the customer communicates directly and the complaints that the company uncovers through proactive means, such as loyalty research. Some complaints, obviously those most closely related to perceived customer value, have the power to cause defection. Team evaluation of complaint root causes could yield significant process or communication method improvement recommendations.
With regard to customer loyalty programs themselves, teams could be established to look at frequency marketing or customer reward programs, perhaps conducting original research. There is such an array of points based approaches, added services, and volume purchase incentive techniques in use that this could even be addressed by more than one team.
The array of cross-functional customer-first team possibilities is limited only by an organization's willingness to embrace the concept. Bottom-line: customer-first teams enhance loyalty.

By the time I finished one-third of it there was nothing to keep me hooked; other than the fact that it was written by Irvine Welsh. But then things started moving and by the end my toes were literally curled!
Welsh takes most filthy of human dreams and most wild & creative of human dreams, mixes them with bare emotions – the best & the worst and presents them to you in a way that might make sick to your stomach but you cannot deny their existence and cannot keep from reading on.
Porno is a sequel set 10 years after Trainspotting – with Sick Boy trying to deny his failures – still high on himself as ever, Spud still in mess, Begbie out of jail and obsessed with Mark Renton. And Mark Renton doing better than most can imagine. And with two new notable characters – Nikki – she is the new age woman and Terry "Juice".
They all get in a great "scam" of making pornography, talk about wildest dreams we all had, and unsettled business in hearts of many.
I've never seen characters age so well in any novel. It actually seems 10 years later – the pace of story matches their age and thinking. That's the reason it's slower than Trainspotting.
The beautiful transition from age of smack to age of crack and the beautiful evolution (or non-evolution of some) of characters, the core nature that doesn't change and things that are long forgotten – it's all amazingly well done.
I've never read a better sequel. If you liked Trainspotting, let this one take you back and forward.
In words of Begbie, "… thill be some cunts thit'll be huvin sleepless nights whin they find oot thit ah'm back oan the fuckin scene."
It's not the penises that are the problem, it's the attachments; they come in varying sizes alright, varying sizes and degrees of annoyance.
Every woman should have a sweet young wife.
Age makes most girls into women, but men never really stop being boys. That's what I evny about them, their ability to wallow in silliness and immaturity, which is something.
Cats like me have become extinct. Cannae adapt, so cannae survive. Sortay like the sabre-toothed tiger. The funny thing but, is that ah never really dug how that species became extinct, when less hard cats survived.
The most horrible thing a man can say to me is that I've got a great body. Because I don't want a good, great, lovely, beautiful body. I want a body good enough to be in the magazines and if I had one I would be in them and I'm not cause I don't.
But knowing intellectually is not enough, because 'real' isn't 'fact' any more. Real knowledge is emotional and in feeling and real feelings are engendered by the airbrushed image, the slogan and the soundbite.
Just letting somebody use your body, or the images of it you create, that's fuck all. It's when you let them use your emotions; that's real hooring. You can never, ever prostitute those!
I also found that it was better to use charm rather than threats, and that love and affection worked easier than violence. With the former, all you had to do was withdraw it, or threaten to.

LeasePlan in the community
LeasePlan is proud to have always been a strong supporter of the communities it works in. We have raised money and provided transport support to many charities and causes, and our staff across the country have enthusiastically engaged in all of these activities.
Since 2003, we have organised all of our community efforts under the banner of 'Carn the Kids'.
What is Carn the Kids?
Carn the Kids combines Australia's love of sports with our passion for helping kids who need it most. It is about giving fun days out to kids who otherwise wouldn't have the opportunity. It also raises funds for some of the most respected kids' charities in the country. In 2018, LeasePlan is raising funds for Variety - Bike 4 Kids program.
Carn the Kids has visited every state and territory across Australia, hosting more than 100 events with over 25,000 kids and carers enjoying the fun. LeasePlan staff volunteer to be happy hosts at each event.
How it all started
Carn the Kids started in 2003. We had just become the new major sponsor of the Western Bulldogs and met Australian Rules great, Bob Skilton, at a footy function and we discussed our history of engaging with kids' causes around the country. Bob was working closely with the Royal Children's Hospital and he convinced us it would be a great idea for us to use our new Bulldogs' partnership to take a group of 300 kids and their families out for a fun day at the footy to give them a break from the wards. Carn the Kids was up and running.

Introducing LibreOffice, A New Branch Off Of OpenOffice
Wednesday, 2010-September-29 at 02:47
The Document Foundation – The Document Foundation
Our mission is to facilitate the evolution of the OpenOffice.org Community into a new open, independent, and meritocratic organizational structure within the next few months. An independent Foundation is a better match to the values of our contributors, users, and supporters, and will enable a more effective, efficient, transparent, and inclusive Community. We will protect past investments by building on the solid achievements of our first decade, encourage wide participation in the Community, and co-ordinate activity across the Community.
The Document Foundation is producing LibreOffice as the next evolution in the OpenOffice.org story. There have been some rumblings for quite a while about Sun's (now Oracle's) outsize role in OpenOffice. Oracle, of course, is more energetic about its pursuit of higher earnings than Sun was. Some would argue that Oracle is less friendly toward freedom-preserving software ("free / open source software"), and point to its activities around OpenSolaris and Java as examples of this.
I don't see LibreOffice as a backlash against Oracle, and I wouldn't want it to be spun that way. It is time for such an important FPS (freedom-preserving software) application as OpenOffice to have a vendor-independent foundation at the helm. Whether Oracle, Sun, IBM, or even Microsoft was the vendor, I'd still believe this is a timely thing.
The current version of LibreOffice is marked as beta, not for daily, real-world use. Being that it is primarily just the most-current version of OpenOffice code with some changes to remove names and trademarks, it should be okay. Still, I don't generally run beta software, and I'm not advising that anyone else does either.
This is an opportunity for a big forward step. I hope that Oracle will recognize this and that it will assist The Document Foundation with this project–in particular, by transferring any needed "IP" to the foundation and by committing OpenOffice.org to follow the lead of LibreOffice–so that both they and everyone else can share in the rewards of having an independent foundation in control.
In the meantime, let us continue to find those few use cases where OpenOffice is less suited for the task at hand than the leading proprietary office applications suite. We can then help the Document Foundation to prioritize those areas. The important thing about non-profit community foundations is that they require active participation by members of the community. I intend to be there. How about you?

Did They Act Immorally?
Then, one day, he is hit by a car. He doesn't want official attention drawn to what happened (for reasons irrelevant to our discussion), so when he arrives home, he asks his aunts not to call a doctor. He goes up to bed. One of his aunts tends to him, and sees he is very seriously injured. She suspects, in fact, that without medical attention he will die in his sleep. But she does nothing; in the morning he is, indeed, dead.
Are the sisters morally culpable for not calling a doctor? Does the fact he has abused their hospitality weigh for or against the sisters? Does the fact the he explicitly declined help aid their case? Should they have taken into account the fact that he might be delirious, and not in the right mind to make a sound decision on needing a doctor?

Production video of a very special Purple Hand Pull commissioned to celebrate Queen Elizabeth's 90th Birthday. Here is a testimonial from our client…
"Just wanted to let you know that I have just had a call from the client to say how impressed they were with the delivery of jugs on the weekend. Apparently it was the only delivery that wasn't a massive faff and didn't require loads of extra stress! I am aware we don't pass these kinds of compliments on enough so I thought I would let you know and thank you again for all your time and effort on this project. He said he spoke to Prince Andrew on the day and he was very impressed with the whole thing so thank you for your contribution!
Have a nice day!"

Touring around Fiji
After Hong Kong we travelled to Fiji where we boarded a cruise ship and spent seven days sailing around the islands. Fiji has hundreds of islands, some inhabited, some not. The first night was a captain's dinner. We sat with the chief engineer who entertained us with stories of the previous ship, Reef Escape, although by now it may have been rechristened Reef Encounter. At the table we also met Lance and Jenny who were booked on the trip exactly a year previously. Unfortunately, as our host related, a massive storm blew up and drove the ship onto the reef. The captain was forced to beach it to avoid sinking. Lance and Jenny, brave souls that they are, accepted a replacement cruise exactly a year later.
Visiting the villages
Many islands are still home to traditional villages. Since these are people's homes there are certain courtesies that must be observed when visiting. Luckily our purser, Florian, had made contacts in the villages and we were invited to dinner. The greeting ceremony is fairly complex involving four members of our party. Traditionally, these are representatives of the clans: chief, warrior, and spokesman. After presenting the traditional gift of Kava our hosts welcome us and everyone shares a bowl. Then there is lots of music and hanging out.
The woman of the village also sell handmade crafts and beautiful coloured fabric. These can be used to make a sulu, the traditional garment. It was funny to see many of the Australian men essentially wearing skirts. Luckily, they're a tough bunch and carried it off with nary a snicker.
In the first village we were entertained with excellent singing which included four part harmony. The dancing was led by a very talented dancer who knew how to play to the crowd. When we all got dragged up to form a conga line (probably not a traditional dance form) he got very frisky with the woman in front of him. The other villagers loved this and howled with laughter.
In the second village the dancing wasn't as good but it was fun to watch the village woman watch the men. One young woman was obviously very enamoured of the lead dancer and watched him with naked lust. He knew he was being watched and hammed it up, much to the delight of the women. The Fijian's clearly know how to have fun.
Life on the ship
The ship was fairly small which allowed it to anchor off the small islands. It also meant that we quickly got to know the passengers and crew. Most of the people at the start of the cruise were Australian and we made several good friends. We hope to visit them later in the trip.
The crew were very friendly and seemed very genuine. We felt very welcome.
On the final night we bought traditional lays from the village. After dinner we watch the sun set from the top deck. No one was around and we felt like the boat was our private yacht. The sunset was the most spectacular I've ever seen. The sky seemed to be on fire. As darkness fell we tossed our lays into the sea. This is meant to bring good luck which in Fiji means a promise to return.

I haven't read any of these and they all sound pretty good. I've heard a lot of great things abut the Elemental Assassin's series. I should really start reading that one.ReplyDelete
I can't wait to read Finn's book! I so need to catch up on this series first.ReplyDelete
I really want to read Finn's book. Unfortunately, it isn't going to be on audio, though I completely understand why. I will just have to pick it up and read it. *sigh*
I haven't read the other two authors, but they look like fun. I will have to check them out.
Melanie @ Hot Listens & Rabid Reads
I don't do many novellas either, but some have been worth itReplyDelete
Well, Finn sure makes me want to start that series. But, oh 14 books already? *sobs*ReplyDelete
I love novellas. I think they are harder to write, but some authors can pack a lot of goodies in them. Great selection.
sherry @ fundinmental
I think these are the kinds of books I need to be reading right now. I can't seem to handle much more.
Karen @For What It's Worth
I read Finn's novella as well. Poor guy, I liked the book since it shows how he's dealing with everything but I hope he's better in the next one :/ReplyDelete
I really need to start the Elemental Assassins series soon.ReplyDelete
Braine I am so far behind in the Elemental Assassin series its not even funny, better get cracking. Thanks for sharing1ReplyDelete
Thanks for sharing! I haven't read any of these, but it's nice to get a little snippet of what you thought.
I LOVE Finn, he's my favorite. Though I'm WAY behind on the series. I'm definitely curious to get his POV though.ReplyDelete
The Calhoun books and the Walker books are on the list. Glad this crop of reads offered up good reading for you especially since two are novella length.ReplyDelete
Nice shorts :)ReplyDelete
All three of from series I want to read or am reading. That's disappointing to hear about Finn.ReplyDelete
Oh nice! many books there! I need to read the second Estep one! so late!ReplyDelete
I haven't any of these - or any of the books in the series. SO many books!ReplyDelete
That's too bad Unwanted didn't quite live up to your expectations and the character didn't sound like Finn. I am not up to date with this series, so I haven't picked up the novella yet, maybe I'll skip it once I get there, we'll see. I really need to catch up with that series once as I really enjoyed the books that i did read.ReplyDelete
I'm not much of a novella reader, either; I really have to have a lot of investment in the series or the author's previous works already to pick one up. I definitely recommend the Gail Carriger novella that I read, though; it was so much fun, and I think you'd enjoy it, too!ReplyDelete
I enjoyed that one from Calhoun. Was a great read for so few pages :)ReplyDelete
It's beautiful when characters find their endgames ^^ReplyDelete
Look at you devouring the novellas. These all seem like fun summer reads. Calhoun is one I want to try :)ReplyDelete
No one can resist a Finn novella.ReplyDelete
I only read the first book in the Gin series. I need to get back to the series, so many love it. :)ReplyDelete
Sounds like a decent second chance romance driving the Seal bookReplyDelete

Hi Eric, I havent posted on your blog lately. I dont do Twitter. Anyway, I recall last year u commenting on the City United game last year; it was an epic clash. Well, put your Black Ops down, the Manchester Derby resumes today, should be a great match.
Oh, and what console do you play Black Ops? Perhaps we can play together, depending of course on the format. Let me know.
On a side note...Glad Janes is over with and done for you...You get never go back home my man, never.

Hey Eric, sorry this is off the topic of your post, but I just wanted to say a couple of things.
I'm 34 years old and a long time JA fan(started listening when I was 13). Jane's and your bass playing in particular is the reason I started to play music. I saw you when I was 14 at MSG(happy mondays opened) and it changed my life. That show was just magic.
That said, I think you made the best decision by leaving the band. When the NINJA tour came to NYC, I was really excited to see the original members play again. That excitement ended a few songs in when I saw Dave checking his blackberry in between songs. There was no vibe and everyone looked like they were just going through the motions. It made me so sad, that I turned to my wife and said "I want to leave." She looked at me like I was crazy, but I just couldn't watch anymore. I said I would rather just watch "Ain't no right" video on you tube and remember how great they use to be then sit through another minute of this.
I guess the point I'm trying to make is, you should really focus on the amazing music you've been making on your own and actually bring it on the road. I would love to see & Hear "Help Wanted" played live. Come to NYC and play a show at Bowery Ballroom. I guarantee it will be packed with people who appreciate what YOU do, not what JA did.
Sorry for the novel and thanks for being an inspiration in my life.

hello eric.
yesterday i listened the first time casually help wanted and you sang. you were talking with me, with my soul.
my first thought was i have to meet you, at every cost.
i understood what love can do, what includes it. the potential becomes real.
i'm sorry for this tag, because such a feeling deserves a worthy act and a tag is what it is.
i love what i hear from you. it never happened to me. maybe i am dreaming. but at least i want to say you: as you reached me you will be reaching a lot of people.
we have to save the world!!

By default, the ps command in Linux is the date on which a process was launched. But it does not specify the hour. To obtain this information, it is necessary to use several options described in the manual.
And here is the command to use to get the start time of a process (here we want the information to the messenger Pidgin):
# ps -e -o pid,comm,lstart | grep pidgin

I was inspired to return by one of my dearest friends, Megan. Her most recent posts concern Facebook, and how it affects our perception of ourselves and our lives. Check it out, if you have the inclination!
What's been going on in the good ol' Krychocosm? Well, we moved to North Carolina. I guess that's kind of a big deal. Actually, it's almost the end of Chris' first semester at Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary. Unsurprisingly, it's been fun and not too difficult for him, since he likes to write and read about theology in his spare time, anyway. There are certainly worse problems to have.
Of course, this threw somewhat of a wrench in my emotional machinery for a bit. Since Chris is working part-time from home and doing school, his schedule is fairly flexible. He's at home quite a bit, albeit working. So, I find it all too easy to try interact with him as if he isn't working. This was especially true after we first arrived here, since I was still adjusting and clinging to the familiar like flotsam in a shipwreck. I've gotten much better about respecting his space since then. After all, he's working hard for Ellie and me - to provide for us. I try to remember this when I feel the sinful resentment kicking in. I have to remind myself that he's not working because it's the most fun thing ever and he'd rather do that than spend time with me. He does enjoy work, but he does it for a God-ordained reason, and that is worthy of great respect.
|Deer in the front of our townhouse - a regular occurrence.
|Proud of herself for eating a banana with her hands for the first time.
|Behold, my beautiful squash.
This transition has brought sins and insecurities to the surface, forcing me to deal with them. The feeling of disorientation that came with moving caused me to cling especially tightly to the Lord, for which I am so thankful. Also, our new church has a reverence and passion for the holiness and glory of God that has challenged me right down to my bones. The clear exposition of Scripture has been nothing less than transformative...as I suppose it always is and must be. The Lord has used our pastor, Dr. Andy Davis, to address difficult issues from Scripture, and I've come out the other side knowing and loving the character of our awesome God more.
So there it is, in a nutshell (or a maybe a squash rind). Hopefully, I'll update here more frequently so that those who care can learn more about what's going on with us than what Facebook statuses indicate. Hope you're well, dear reader. By all means, leave me a comment telling me something going on with you.

I'm moving out
The past few months have felt like a whirlwind at the Quimby household - Beezus' First Communion, my breast biopsy, the passing of my mother-in-law, the community based consignment sale that I run.
Amidst all of that, I've been keeping another secret.
We are moving. Not defecting from Prince George's County to Howard County or Charles County as one family seems to do each year from our neighborhood, but really moving. To Denver. In Colorado.
I've lived in the DC area since I was 18 years old. I moved here a few days before my 18th birthday to come to college and other than going home for that first summer after freshman year, I've never left.
After I met Mr. Quimby and we married, we made our life here. In the past few years, we've come close to moving two other times, but the job opportunities didn't pan out.
Which brings us to today, and to this move, and to this opportunity for Mr. Quimby's current job to be in a different place that will result in a shorter and easier travel schedule for him. (I'll be asking my boss today if I can telework.) We are trying to sell our house ourselves as a "For Sale By Owner" for a few weeks before we turn it over to a real estate agent. After one message to various listservs in the area, I already have three people waiting to view it next weekend ! Mr. Quimby has obsessively researched the comps in our area and determined an asking price.
We are about to embark on an adventure together, just the 4 of us.
I've also been obsessively researching where we should live. I've found the Atriums in the Denver area for the girls and I've cross-referenced high school graduation rates with access to trails with proximity to walking trails and libraries. The Denver area has a reputation for conservative/traditional Catholicism, so I am still searching for the Catholic church that will be truly Catholic and will still be a good "fit" for our family and the guitar playing, hand-holding Masses that I love. I feel like I've got a good handle on the area where we want to live. The neighborhoods look different there, in the far flung suburbs of Denver where we are looking. Yards are smaller, houses are newer, the major streets are all straight and are laid out in a grid pattern.
It looks nothing like the historic Mayberry-esque town where we've made our home for the past 9.5 years.
I know this will be hard - so very hard. Nothing will ever be able to replace the Mother's Group that I helped form when Beezus was an infant. The "Milk Moms" have been my ever present companions on this path of mothering - it's difficult to conceive of mothering without them.
I have dear girlfriends from college who live here and I've made some meaningful friendships with a small handful of women in my neighborhood. I have people whom I really care for in my proverbial village.
I am leaving my sister, who also moved here at 18 from Alabama. Can't really think about that, though. It's too painful.
So many people have said to me "I can never imagine doing that. Just moving someplace." I understand their sentiment and would respond with my usual "different families do different things." It is difficult to conceive of such a notion, but for us it seems reasonable. In the long run, we believe that this will be a good choice for our family.
In the long run.

Bioenergy Europe's role: Project Partner
BioRES introduced the innovative concept of Biomass Logistic and Trade Centres (BLTCs) in Serbia, Croatia, and Bulgaria on the basis of cooperation with technology leaders from Austria, Slovenia, Germany, and Finland. This will help to increase the demand for woody bioenergy products (processed fire wood, wood chips, wood pellets, and wood briquettes) in these countries and contribute to the achievement of EU targets set out in the RES Directive (2009/28/EC).
- Establish 6 – 8 new Biomass Logistic and Trade Centres (BLTCs) distributed over at least 2 of the 3 countries;
- Have sales agreements with energy consumers in rural areas for a total of at least 8,000 tons per year (in average 1,000-1,500 tons per year per BLTC) of woody bioenergy products, backed by at least the same volume of delivery agreements with producers;
- Set a total of at least 12 trainers (representatives of commercial associations of bioenergy producers or of regional energy agencies) and at least 400 potential actors along the supply chain are trained and their capacities developed on how to implement and manage regional supply chains for quality woody bioenergy products from sustainable forestry.
Target groups:
Feedstock producers, biomass project developers, rural communities, retail, logistics and transport companies, end-users of biomass, policy makers.
Project website: bioresproject.eu
Project Presentation:
Project duration: 2014 – 2017

excessive peeing, pelvic pain, postaweek, postaweek2012, pregnancy, pregnancy insomnia, shortness of breath
I have a new motto: are we done yet? For reals. I am so done. I'm due in 5 weeks, but praying the baby shows up early. Technically 37 weeks is full term, so 2 weeks from now I'd like to be in the hospital delivering. I had a rough week. Monday I had an ultrasound appointment. My fluid was on the low end of normal, which I find odd because the last time I had an ultrasound it was on the high end of normal. Really? c'mon people. Figure your shit out. My husband was telling a woman he works with about it and she was like "omfg they did that to me the WHOLE time I was pregnant, your fluid is high, your fluid is low, blah blah blah" – that made me feel better, if not slightly annoyed with the whole monitoring process. The baby also wasn't cooperating and wasn't moving enough for them. I told them that she's an evening/nighttime kicker, but did they care? Not so much. They hooked me up to the fetal monitor for 20 minutes and discovered that she's fine. But, I have to go back weekly from now until the baby is born and be hooked up to monitors to make sure she is okay. Why? Because I'm over 35. Grrrr. Did I mention we only have 1 car? And that in order to take it I have to take my husband to work, which is roughly 45 minutes round trip. Then, the ultrasound joint is in Henderson, again, 40 minutes round trip. And after my next doctor appointment I'll be doing that every week too. That office is 20 minutes in the opposite direction. I'll be in the car all damn day. And it's 50 million degrees outside. And I'm large and pregnant and grumpy as shit. Sigh.
After the ultrasound I had a doctor appointment. More trauma at that office. Apparently I had ketones in my urine which can either mean that I haven't eaten enough (obviously not the case), or that I'm dehydrated. I told her that it was probably the dehydration because of the whole fluid freak out at the ultrasound place. She got all uppity and was like "well you should be drinking a gallon of water a day." Yeah, I know, and I normally do. Last weekend we traveled to visit my in-laws and spent time outside. I didn't drink enough water. And was still dehydrated on Monday. GEEZ. So anyway, I'm done with the pregnancy. I want my life back. I want this little baby to be here so that nobody needs to monitor my goddamn body every week anymore.
Also this week I finally am experiencing the breathlessness that I've been reading about. Apparently it happens to a lot of people in the third trimester, but so far I've been lucky. Then, just a couple of days ago I was suddenly like "geez, I can't catch my breath" and I've been panting ever since. It's ridiculous. And my pelvis is still killing me. Plus I'm peeing every 25 minutes what with drinking a gallon of water a day, and my insomnia is back. I was up at 2 in the damn morning today. Why? Oh just to panic about being a mom and wonder what I was thinking by getting pregnant. Geesh. Sorry if it sounds like I've become complainy complainerstein – I have, but I'm uncomfortable and grumpy and want to scream. Hey baby, COME OUT NOW.

White Chocolate Green Tea Pagoda
Source: Recipe from Chef Andrew MacLauchlan
White chocolate and soothing green tea combine here to make a stunning presentation. Crisp meringue squares are layered with creamy ice cream and drizzled with green tea syrup.
1 1⁄2 qt. white chocolate ice cream
Green tea meringue:
4 egg whites
1⁄2 cup granulated sugar
1⁄2 cup almonds, raw
1⁄2 cup powdered sugar
2 1⁄2 tsp. green tea powder
1 tbsp. flour
Green tea syrup:
1 1⁄2 cup water
1⁄4 cup light corn syrup
2 tsp. green tea powder
1⁄2 cup granulated sugar
1 tbsp. cornstarch
1. For the meringue, whip egg whites to stiff peaks while gradually adding granulated sugar.
2. In a food processor, grind almonds with remaining meringue ingredients for 3 min. Fold into egg whites. Spread mixture over sheet tray at 1⁄16-in. thick. Bake 12-14 min.
3. While still warm, cut meringue into 2 1⁄2 -in., 1 1⁄2-in., and 1-in. squares.
4. For the green tea syrup, bring water and corn syrup to a simmer and whisk in green tea powder and sugar. Combine cornstarch with some syrup and make a smooth paste. Stir paste back into the saucepan, simmer 1 min. and chill.
5. To assemble, slice ice cream into squares, slightly smaller than the meringue. Place a little syrup in center of each plate and top with meringue squares. Place largest square of ice cream on top of meringue and continue alternating the layers from largest to smallest. Drizzle with syrup.

Because I do.
I really have been though.
I mean I'm sick of being squishy, so I've been working on that... which, for the record, takes a lot of time and effort.
We have like an acre of grass that needs mowed.
Grocery shopping.
Bennett's four month check-up.
Lots of playing with the big boys.
I am up to my ears in farm bookwork.
AND our farm computer just crashed.
As in... erased EVERYTHING.
I spent so much time trying to fix it and figure it out, but alas.
This in turn made me download all of the pictures from my phone onto my computer.
Nearly 5,000 of them.
And then that made me a crazy basket of emotions watching the past few months in supersede across my screen... because it's beyond comprehendible how fast these boys of mine are growing up.
So, yea. It's been one of those weeks.
And I was reassured of this when I spilled half a bottle of cold water on my lap while driving yesterday.
Instead of more of the above from me though, I am going to grace you with five posts of mine from the past... that surely need read by you!
But first, let's all get our link up on, shall we?
To join in on the fun all you have to do is:
1 | Write up a post about five anythings.
2 | Copy and paste the above html code to the bottom of your post.
3 | Head back here and enter the link up below!
Moving on to some must reads...
1 | things i shouldn't tell you
You can find this post HERE.
Stories surrounding a year I spent overseas.
It involves a dildo.
Enough said.
2 | bachelor fame
Last year I felt famous on a few occasions while being on tv during the season of The Bachelor.
I wrote two behind the scenes post.
One for the premier HERE.
3 | birth stories
I'm a sucker for birth stories!
I wish that I had started blogging a bit earlier so I could have written one for Brody.
I suppose I could still write one, but the details are more than hazy.
You can read Beckam's HERE.
4 | man behind the blog
It may be time to do another one of these since this is nearly two years old.
But you can check out my farmer and read some of his wise remarks HERE.
5 | pregnancy announcement and gender reveal
I feel like I captured things much better this final time around.
And I am thrilled that I did.
These pictures will be treasured.
Pregnancy announcement HERE.
OK. Get reading.
And, don't forget to check out some of the other lovely ladies linking up below too. Let's make a few friends today!
Have a great weekend.

Terminal One Redevelopment at Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR)
Designed in a "T" configuration, this three-level, 1 million-square-foot terminal building will provide 33 new domestic aircraft gates for Newark Liberty International Airport in Newark, New Jersey.
PGAL is currently serving as the prime consultant and lead architect responsible for advanced planning and concept development of the new Terminal A.
Intended to operate as a common-use facility, Terminal A will provide passengers with curbside check-in as well as a complete range of check-in options in the ticketing lobby, including self-service kiosks with self-tag and self-drop for baggage, staffed full service check-in podiums, and dedicated premium passenger check-in areas.
The terminal is organized to provide efficient passenger processing and movement. An expandable security screening checkpoint provides increased passenger queue space and dedicated lanes for premium passengers, crew, and physically challenged travelers. The infrastructure serving check-in and screening operations will adapt to changing and future processing requirements. Dedicated airline check-in areas are also provided for premier passengers.
The baggage claim area will include six claim units with immediate access to airline services offices and passenger amenities for two defined arrivals areas from the departures concourses. PGAL maximized airline support for ramp operations and consolidated baggage processing and screening areas for efficient outbound and inbound baggage operations.
The terminal facilities will include a high level of passenger services including a broad range of retail and food and beverage options integrated into the hold room seating areas. Hold rooms are designed to address a diverse aircraft fleet mix that includes wide body aircraft. Airline lounges are immediately accessible after the security checkpoint, and the mezzanine locations offer direct views of the airfield and the primary concourse area.
Self-boarding equipment is planned for all gates for efficient passenger boarding and airline operations. To reduce operational costs, the terminal is designed for unmanned security vestibules exiting from secure to landside operations.
Terminal A will be supported by a new departures and arrivals roadway system. An approximately 3,000-car parking garage complex will feature a pedestrian bridge and hub connection linking passengers from the garage and Air Train to Terminal A.
PGAL is also reviewing the construction phasing and sequencing necessary to construct the terminal building and related airside and landside program elements.
Features Include:
- Three-level, 1 million-square-foot terminal building with 33 new domestic aircraft gates
- Curbside check-in as well as a complete range of check-in options in the ticketing lobby
- Expandable security screening checkpoint to provide increased passenger queue space
- New departures and arrivals roadway system, as well as an approximately 3,000-car parking garage

TRENTON — Assemblyman Nelson Albano suffered a minor heart attack Friday but is expected to fully recover, his colleague said today.
State Sen. Jeff Van Drew (D-Cape May), who serves in the 1st District with Albano (D-Cumberland), said the assemblyman is recuperating at home in Vineland.
"He had a very minor heart attack. He is doing well," Van Drew said.
Albano, who turned 58 yesterday, has represented the state's southernmost district in the Assembly since 2006. He chairs the Assembly Agriculture and Natural Resources Committee, whose scheduled meeting today was canceled.
But Van Drew said Albano may even be back in Trenton for Thursday's voting session.
Albano needed to get one stent in the hospital, Van Drew said.
"He's going to be fine, thank God," said Van Drew. "It was about the most minor (heart attack) you could have."
