'Day of Reckoning': Chris Christie Tackles Massive State Debt on '60 Minutes' | The Blaze.
This is interesting. The Governor who is willing to tell the truth says the day of reckoning has arrived. California, Arizona, Illinois, New York both state and city, and of course New Jersey that Governor Christie is trying to get under control are so far in debt that it really is impossible to get to the bottom of it in most cases the debtors (states and cities) even know how much they do owe. The main problems seem to be the public employee unions, but other spending is really just as bad it is just that the unions are making the biggest fuss and are at this time unwilling to even discuss the problems with the governments.
When will the bubble finally bust? When will these states and cities finally hit bottom and go belly up? Some analyst say as soon as within the next 12 months. then it is predicted they will turn to the federal government for a bail out. Which means that the federal government will then have to borrow money toi bail out the states and cities. Considering the federal government is now borrowing $.40 of every dollar it spends it is difficult to believe they will do another round of bail outs. And beside that the facts are that when bailed out the states and cities just continue on the way they have been operating and this will just lead to another crisis down the line. What we need is fifty governors like Chris Christie and one President like Chris Christie. BB

Day of Reckoning': Chris Christie Tackles Massive State Debt on '60 Minutes'
- Posted on December 20, 2010 at 9:08am by Jonathon M. Seidl
It could be the biggest crisis since the collapse of the housing market.
That's how experts are describing state budgets, which are becoming so spend-heavy that municipalities are now drowning in debt and unrealistic spending obligations.
Here's a taste: California now spends more on public employee pensions than it does on the state university system; Arizona has sold its state capital, supreme court chambers, and legislative building to private investors; and Illinois, which spends twice as much as it takes in in taxes, is months behind on Medicaid payments and some gas stations won't even take State Trooper credit cards.
Those examples were included in a "60 Minutes" special on Sunday, which detailed the growing problem of mounting state debt. It's a problem that includes blatant fiscal irresponsibility and borrowing money to delay what NJ Gov. Chris Christie calls in the piece the "day of reckoning." The segment also features Meredith Whitney, one of the most respected women on Wall Street who once predicted the dismal housing collapse. In her mind, the state budget crisis will be just as crippling.
Business Insider calls the piece, "what everyone will be talking about today":
Last week, the Manhattan Institute's Steve Malanga called the state budget problem a "fiscal train wreck," and compared benefits in the public sector to benefits in the private sector. In short, he confirms Christie's call for cuts:
One big area of concern is employee costs, including not only pay but benefits. According to the governor's association report, the average state worker now earns $39.83 an hour in compensation, including benefits, compared to an average of $27.49 in the private sector. The big differentials are in health benefits ($4.43 per hour in the public sector vs. $2.01 in the private sector), and in pension costs ($3.23 per hour in the public sector vs. 94 cents per hour in private industry). As the report noted, "To have any hope of achieving fiscal health in the future, states will need to redesign their benefit systems."

Let them go broke! Why should people in Texas, Georgia, NC be responsible for the irresponsibility and out of control idiots who spent their way into bankruptcy? Bailing them out would set a terrible example. It 's like having a irresponsible child and bailing them out everytime they screw up. Let em hit bottom and then they will learn that there are consequences.

I'm taking part in the A-Z Challenge to kick start my blogging habit and today we are talking about the letter D. Tempting as it is to write about Depression, dwelling on the subject every single day in times of wellness is probably not conducive to healing myself of it! I am so focused on preventing a recurrence that I do get a bit preoccupied with the topic at times. So, not today 🙂
I have this highly amusing meme saved to my phone (source long forgotten, apologies). I've been a stay at home mum for almost seven years, and you'd think I'd have the Domestic Goddess thing down to a fine art by now. Not so, by a long shot. In the early childhood years, I was simply so overwhelmed that survival was my only objective. Post Natal Depression and Goddess-level domesticity do not go hand in hand in my experience (dammit the 'D' word rears its head regardless! Shhhhh!). Neverthless I spent an inordinate amount of time consulting FlyLady and The Organised Housewife and buying books on household management, in my quest for domestic bliss. It took me a good few years to realise that I was never going to find that elusive perfect system – what I really wanted was for someone else to do it all for me. Which was obviously never going to happen.
However, late last year I discovered the Motivated Moms app, and I'm still running on it, having customised the paid subscription to my needs. It doesn't email me about zones nor present me with Easter craft printables, there is no complex schedule to follow, no emails to read, no quest for domestic perfection. I simply have a daily list, which must be done to keep everyone fed and in clean underwear, and prevent chaos. Chaos leads to anxiety, to which I am prone, and I'm smart to it now in this way at least. Other tasks are generated by the app, two or three a week day. Perfectly managable, no big cleaning day, no being haunted by "I really should clean the windows…" because I know Momo will tell me to one day soon. I don't have to think about that stuff. I just do it when it tells me to, in nice managable chunks. It works for me and best of all it is customisable to my standards. My standards being, I don't want to live in filth, but life is also too short to clean the light fittings very often (or indeed the oven, if I am to be completely honest).
Realistically, there are days when I feel like a Domestic Goddess, and there days when I do not give a rat's ass. Hell, sometimes I feel the sentiments of the above meme multiple times in one day! The most important thing I have learned on this now rather long stay at home mum journey is that whatever mode I'm in with regard to domestic life, it will pass. I do not define myself by my homemade chicken soup, and nor by the dustballs under the beds. The Momo tagline is time for what matters most. Nowadays, that's my domestic focus. I steadily check my boxes while listening to a nice podcast or the news, and then I get on to the stuff that really matters.
Do what you love, love what you do. Attaining Domestic Goddessicity is no longer my goal. I have let a lot of stay at home motherhood guilt slide right off me. It's a fabulous feeling!! In the precious time alone that I have while my girls are still small, I'd rather be crocheting. And so, I shall. This morning, no cookies. I'm not feeling hateful right now, and I'm certainly not moaning – but yeah, I don't give a fuck about the mess. It's time to create. Domesticity can wait until this afternoon. Or maybe even tomorrow 🙂
This post is also part of the A-Z Challenge: D is for…Domesticity

HOUGHTON, Mich. – The Wildcats tied the score late in the second half, but were unable to get an advantage as Northern Michigan University's Men's Basketball team fell to Michigan Technological University 77-66 in Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference action.
The Wildcats were led by junior Isaiah Johnson (Whitefish Bay, Wis.), who scored 18 points. Junior Naba Echols (Memphis, Tenn./Mitchell) added 16 points and five assists, scoring ten-straight points in the second half. Sophomore Will Carius (Bettendorf, Iowa/Pleasant Valley) chipped in with 11 points.
Michigan Tech took a 4-0 lead until Echols hit a three-pointer three minutes into the game. The Huskies answered with five-straight points, but four points from Johnson followed by a three-pointer by senior Jordan Perez (Greendale, WIs.) gaive NMU a 10-9 lead at the 14:21 mark.
The hosts answered with seven points and took a 16-10 lead before sophomore Sam Taylor (Chicago, Ill./Thornton) hit his first basket of the game. MTU responded, this time scoring 11-straight points until Johnson hit a three-pointer, moving the score to 27-15 with just over five minutes to play.
The teams traded baskets for the next four minutes, but Carius and Taylor hit layups to end the first half, moving the score to 32-23 as the team's headed into the break.
Taylor opened the second half with a three, and after an MTU basket, Carius followed it to make it 34-29. The team's traded baskets until the Huskies scored four-straight points to pull ahead 40-31 with 17:07 to play. Carius then hit a free throw, followed by two more from the charity-stripe, but MTU hit a three to take a 43-34 advantage at the first media timeout of the half.
Michigan Tech scored out of the timeout, but Johnson knocked in a three to move it to 45-37. After three MTU points, Echols made a jumper. The Huskies answered with a score, then Perez answered with a free throw to make it 50-40 at the 10:47 mark.
On the next NMU possession, sophomore Marcus Matelski (Boyne Falls, Mich.) hit a three, followed by a Perez three to pull NMU to 50-46 with 9:35 to play. Taylor then hit a layup to make it a two-point game.
MTU responded with a basket, but Johnson answered with another three to bring the Wildcats within one point. After an MTU score, Johnson tied the game at 54-54 with 6:20 on the clock with his fourth three-pointer of the day.
After calling timeout, the hosts scored four-straight points before the final media timeout of the game. Echols came out of the media timeout with two made free throws and answered a Michigan Tech score with a layup. He then followed two MTU free throws with two of his own.
After pulling NMU to 62-60 with 3:27 to go, Echols answered three MTU free throws with a layup to make it 65-62 with 2:12 to play. On the next possession, he again scored on a drive to the basket to answer two more free throws by the Huskies.
MTU pulled ahead by seven, 71-64, when Perez sank two free throws to make the score 71-66 with 51 seconds remaining. However, Michigan Tech hit six-straight free throws down the stretch to capture the 77-66 victory.
NMU falls to 11-8 on the season and 8-4 in league play while MTU improves to 10-9, and 7-5 in GLIAC. The Wildcats will next play Purdue University Northwest Thursday night in the Berry Events Center.

Generally, depression is a feeling or sense of inadequacy. Depression is characterised by a sustained feeling of sadness over a period of time (usually for a period of two weeks or more) and the sadness not lifting or, going away. And, because of this sustained sadness, the person is having difficulty concentrating at work or, study and impacting on their relationships with family and friends.
- Does this definition describe how you are feeling?
- Does this definition describe how your friend or partner may be feeling?
- Have you ever noticed when you feel at your lowest, it forces you to do something different?
- Did you know depression can be one of the greatest motivators?
That's right! Depression can stimulate creativity and imagination.
If this sounds like you, here's how to make the most of it!
Whenever I research depression, anxiety and mental illness, similar information appears on all websites and books. Firstly, a definition, similar to above and secondly, the signs and symptoms of depression. However, if you are depressed, I'm tipping, you already know what the signs and symptoms are anyway. So, here's a compilation of tips provided by clients, colleagues and, friends of ways to enjoy life, NOW!
NB: You should also talk to your doctor about how you are feeling and ask to have a mental health assessment and treatment. There are lots of useful treatments and services to assist you. In the meantime, I hope you enjoy participating in some of the activities. Every action you take is a step towards recovery. If you are feeling suicidal, ring Lifeline on 13 11 14.
ENJOY DEPRESSION –Seriously….or, not so seriously!
1. Sleep in! Stay in bed and rest for an extra hour or so. Tips for getting a better night sleep can be found on: http://www.wikihow.com/Fall-Asleep
2. Eat your favourite food (but, only a small portion, save some for later). Remember, the old saying, 'you are what you eat', so stick to a healthy eating plan. I recommend low GI to avoid the sugar lows. Eat regularly and drink lots of water. See a dietitian for professional advice.
3. Watch your favourite movie or, an episode of your favourite television series. (Recommend: action or comedy, great distraction).
4. Talk to a trusted friend or colleague about how you are feeling.
5. Listen to your negative thoughts and twist them around into funny stories, like you see on television or movie comedies. E.g.: your bully of a boss can be amplified into 'The Joker' played aka Jack Nicholson or Cruella de Vil aka Glenn Close (Batman/101 Dalmatians). Now imagine the many other faces of these two actors and adapt these to your boss. Alternatively, imagine your boss in a thong or mankini, (lots of saggy bits and pieces) and, a nose uglier than the Wicked Witch (I'm sure you can add to the picture). What else would you add? Draw a picture and keep it in your wallet/purse (unlabelled).
6. Wear your favourite comfort clothes/track pants. Later on, dress up in your favourite outfit when you go to pick up the kids from school or just to go to the supermarket…(what did you notice).
7. Watch embarrassing newsreader moments on YouTube. Farting ones are extremely funny. What are you noticing?
8.Make a a list of happy moments in your life. Visit the GO TO – Happy Place and follow the instructions. Maybe you could add the time you farted inappropriately to your list.
9. Make finger puppets.
10. Reading. Read your favourite book. Magazines should be avoided (due to unrealistic body images, and, mostly repetitive crap in them). No-one really looks like that, especially your boss.
11. Planning: plan something fun today. Then, plan something bigger for tomorrow: e.g.: drive to your favourite town – enjoy preparing and your favourite meal (no calorie counting), take a mental health day from work (it's a legitimate sick day and, you don't have to give details to your boss but, you may need to get a certificate from doctor, while you're there, tell them how you are feeling – ask for a mental health assessment). Plan a holiday, camping trip, overseas cruise. Begin with a list of the smallest task you need to do to achieve this goal.
12. Go for a swim at the local pool.
13. Ring that friend you've been meaning to and organise to catch up, this week.
14. Submit your registration to compete on a television game show e.g.: 'Who Wants to be a Millionaire, Deal or no Deal.
15. Buy yourself a new toy: Something just for fun. E.g.: Buy a kayak and enjoy kayaking on your local lake. Maybe your partner or a friend could join you.
16. Have sex. LOTS AND LOTS of juicy SEX. (Anti-depressant medications may impact on performance but, you can still enjoy sex). Make an appointment to talk to your GP to discuss any side affects you may be experiencing and review your medications.
17. Remember some of the games/toys you played as a child? Girls might have had 'elastics' 'skipping' or, Boys: marbles and army men. They stock these at your local KMART or some supermarkets. Buy one today and re-live the fun of your childhood. What other games did you play? You may need to ask a friend to come over to play?
18. Invite your besty over for a slumber party. You can invite boys and girls, now you are a grown-up. Sleeping bags, favourite movie, games (twister, elastics, Monopoly, cowboys and Indians) and PARTY FOOD, your favourite soft drinks, chocolate crackles etc. Notice how much fun this night is, alcohol free.
19. Run! Run your arse off! What do you notice? Compare on a scale of 1-10 (1 being low – 10 being feeling fabulous) , how you felt before the run and then when you finish your run.
20. Be grateful for not being a celebrity or, member of the royal family. IMAGINE having every part of your life play out in the public eye. Write a list of five things every morning you are grateful for.
21. Bake your favourite CAKE/DESSERT! Forget the calories! Enjoy your cake with your partner/besty. Yum! Sit down at the dining table and eat it with your favourite, coffee/tea or mocktail. Enjoy it with your friends… Share it with your neighbour or, just eat it all yourself over the next few days.
22. Build a remote control plane. Better yet, buy a ticket for a mystery flight.
23. Write a love letter to your lover. Buy beautiful writing paper, a new pen and make sure you buy a stamp while you are at it. Go home, write the letter, then walk down and post it TODAY! How are you feeling now? What are you noticing?
24. What other letters could you write? Now you have the paper, you might enjoy writing to your cousin overseas, or someone across the other side of the country and, encourage them to write back to you. Imagine what fun it will be to receive a reply in the post. How often do you receive letters? Write to someone you know will write back. A strategy may be to invite them to an event on a particular date e.g.: slumber party. This way, they may reply sooner and you can keep the letters going. You now have a pen pal.
25. Write a message and put it in a bottle. It doesn't have to go out to sea. Where else you could leave a message and, wait for a response? Google search GEOCACHE.
26. Play hide and seek, WORLDWIDE, GEOCACHE style. Discover the unusual and fun places around the world as you seek to find the cache. Create your own and plan where you might hide it. What will you put in it??? Plan a trip to locate other GEOCACHE. I wonder what the most unusual place is you could find one…?
27. Buy tickets. To the musical, opera, comedy show in your city.
28. Go for a ride on your bike. Buy a bike and ride it, if you don't have one.
29. Visit the zoo.
30. Buy a lovely notebook and begin to write a journal. Write in it each day. Plan your day to include a special time, undisturbed to write in your journal. You don't have to be a best-selling author. This is your private journal for you to record our own personal thoughts about anything and everything. It is up to you. Keep it someone safe.
31. CRY! Crying is underrated and, will make you feel better! It is healthy to let it out. Your eyes may be sore afterwards but, you can enjoy a powernap to soothe them. Not so great if you wear contact lenses.
32. Learn a language. Practise saying the words aloud while recording yourself, emphasise the intonation, like rolling your 'rs. Play it back. How does it sound?
33. Read up on the culture of the nationality of the language you are learning. What do you notice?
34. Learn a magic trick. Practise! Practise! Practise! Perhaps you could perform it for your friends.
35. Get the video camera out and make up a video skit, either on your own (playing different parts or, you could do this with friends).
36. Learn a new skill e.g.: dance lessons.
37. Challenge yourself to start a conversation with a stranger. Be genuinely curious and get to know them. Afterwards, reflect on how much easier this is than you thought. Try it again tomorrow. What are you noticing?
38. Catch up with family, cook a meal together, and go out for dinner.
39. Learn a new computer program. E.g.: Photoshop your favourite photos. You could print them and hang them up around your home. Print one as a gift for a friend.
40. Pay it forward. Do something nice for someone without them knowing it was you. Spread the word and, if that person wants to repay your kindness ask them to do something nice for three other people and so on. Read up on http://www.wikihow.com/Pay-It-Forward
41. Change your appearance. Get a completely new hairdo, one you've always wanted. Shave your beard off, grow a beard, moustache. Ladies may want to wax/bleach their moustache.
42. Create a new image. Go through your wardrobe and throw away your clothes (maybe give them to the local charity or, people down the road that house burnt down/flooded). Keep only the clothes that portray your true self. Fun clothes, comfort clothes. And, keep some for work.
43. Relax with some breathing exercises. Find a comfortable place to lay down and focus gradually on every muscle in your body from your little toe, through to your big toe and up your legs, to your core. Continue concentrating on every muscle of your body, up to your neck and face, to your eyebrows and ears. Or, try counting backwards from 100 while concentrating on slowing your breathing. It works!
44. Explore vocational interests. Career change. What would you need to do to become a nurse, counsellor, teacher, musician, and writer? How could you achieve this? Take an online test to see what interests you have that match vocational skills. http://www.41q.com/ What did you notice?
45. Join or create your own flash mob. Google search: 'join a flash mob Australia'.
46. Paint a picture. If nothing comes to mind. Try painting something simple. Perhaps a picture of your family home, a seaside theme, mountains, whatever you would enjoy looking at. Now paint it all in your favourite colours (these don't need to match the original image). Try a beginners video like: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W3sn8FzcCX4
47. Join an online chat/club. Great for singles and events. Join a local community organisation/sports club/cause – get involved: Shave for a Cure, Pink Ribbon Day, Netball Club, Football Club, Sailing club, Singles group, Golf, Social Club, Young Entrepreneurs club, Professional club. Start your own professional body in the local area.
48. Learn to ride a motor bike/trike, scooter, skiing, snowboarding, skate board, skating (roller/blade) car, plane, train, helicopter, glider, windsurfer, and sailing, get your license. Or, simply enjoy a joy ride/flight somewhere beautiful: E.g.: fly over the Whitsundays, Great Barrier Reef.
49. Go bushwalking through a national park. Climb Cradle Mountain, Mount Tambourine, walk around Kalbarri National Park, Karajini National Park, The Grampians, Barossa Valley, Katoomba and Blue Mountains.
50. Swim below the waterfalls at Litchfield National Park or Kakadu or the warm springs at Mataranka and Katherine. Kayak along Katherine Gorge.
51. Look at yourself in the mirror and pull funny faces.
52. Laugh, try different laughs. Join a laughing group (yes, they really do exist), try out a work laugh (like Chandler on the TV series FRIENDS). Once you are laughing, try to hold the laugh in…Can you do it?
53. Take a funny family/group or couple photograph.
54. Write a dirty poem.
55. Tell inappropriate stories at the dinner table.
56. Upskill yourself: vocationally or hobbies etc. You may be able to combine the two.
57. Type random words into GOOGLE/YAHOO/BING and see what comes up.
58. Write your bucket list – at least 20 things!
59. Colour your world. Colour therapy. It does work. PAINT your bedroom wall your favourite colour, wear your favourite colours. Buy pyjamas in your favourite colours.
60. Tell someone what you really want to say. 'Nothing haunts us like the things we don't say' Mitch Albom. You may wish to practise this and reflect on how your message will be received.
61. Eat chocolate. One piece, every day. Dark chocolate is full of anti-oxidants, so you have a fantastic excuse to eat it. Savour every mouthful.
62. Write a list of everyone you LOVE! Be grateful for each person you love.
63. Look at yourself in the mirror and tell yourself 'I love you'. Actions speak louder than words, so, show your self-love by doing something loving for yourself. If your friends wanted to do something loving for you and nurture you, what would you want them to do? Now, DO IT!
64. What do you do to have fun? DO IT! This should be something that is going to be good for you and your relationships. Eg: bushwalking, swimming, playing monopoly. Anything at all except, alcohol! Alcohol is a depressant and should be avoided if you are feeling depressed.
65. Prepare your tax refund. This might sound taxing but, if you're lucky, you may get a refund to splurge on yourself. Start a file for your receipts in preparation for next year. Even a spike near your computer would do.
66. Remember a time when you farted inappropriately. Was that you who farted in the elevator?
Please feel free to add your depression busters/stress management tips in our comments section below.
Stress management
An important skill of self-regulation is managing the effect of stress in your life.
Some stress in our lives can be positive as it motivates us, but too much stress can have a negative influence and can result in depression and health problems. If you're feeling stressed it's very difficult to manage your emotions effectively. Some useful things to do to manage stress include:
1. Breathing exercises
2. Healthy eating and drinking
3. Exercising frequently
4. Sleeping for 7 to 8 hours a night
5. Make time for fun outside of work
6. Laugh more often
7. Spend time alone

text: Join us for a 3-day, 2-night adventure to Flat Mountain Yurt, Cumbres Pass, near Chama, 1-3 February 2019. We will leave Albuquerque Friday morning and return Sunday afternoon. This yurt has spectacular mountain views and local skiing options on the layover day. This is the same general mountain range as Wolf Creek, and traditionally has many feet of fresh snow. This is a back-pack like trip, more rustic than a hotel or hut, but easier to get to than a hut. Trail is class 2-3, not very technical but strenuous with four miles and a gain of 1000'. Trail is well marked. Breaking trail in several feet of snow is possible. Lots of tour and turn options on our layover day. No avalanche dangers on the trail in-out, but it exists off-trail near the yurt. You will need to bring clothes, food, and a sleeping bag. The yurt has a wood stove and cooking supplies. Accommodation cost is $70; food and transportation extra. Space is limited to 6 people. Contact Scott Mitchell for more information and to sign up.

Steel Shanks, What Are They and Why Should You Have One
Shoe Shank
First it's important to understand what the general shank in a shoe is. A shoe shank is a flat piece of material located above the outer sole at the waist, or narrowest, middle-part of the shoe located between the heel and ball area of the foot just below the arch. A shank is needed to help add extra support to the arch area of the shoe.
Steel Shank
Knowing this, it is obvious that a steel shank is a shoe shank made of steel. Many people think that a steel shank is a bad option to have in their shoe because the weight of the steel will make the boot unbelievably heavy. However, this not true. The shank is in fact a thin piece of steel that features both a natural flexibility and springiness and makes it a great option for it to be placed in the boot. And while a steel shank like a steel toe is sensitive to cold-weather conditions and will set off metal detectors, it helps prevent injury by preventing objects from penatrating the shoe from underneath.
Here are some examples of different styled steel toe shanks:
Steel Insole
In addition to having a steel shank, a steel toe shoe will also feature a steel insole. A steel insole runs the entire length of the shoe. A steel insole is installed by the manufacturer to work with the steel shank in helping prevent sharp objects from pentrating the shoe underneath and causing injury.

I really liked your blog. It has a sense of humor and quite interesting. Good job guys. Looking forward for more updates.ReplyDelete
Some metal detectors do no register steal toes and shanks.ReplyDelete
How does a steel shank compare to a fiberglass one? After wearing new construction boots for1 week I realized the nylon Shank wasn't working (my foot began hurting) for climbing extension ladders which have a narrower rung than the more common folding ladder.ReplyDeleteReplies

Steel shanks are way better! I had fiberglass in previous boots and like you my feet would hurt after climbing. Not so with a steel shank. I think they flex less than the fiberglass so your foot remains in it's natural position better. It seems to not curve with the shank. I think that's where the pain comes fromDelete
You have done a great work. Thanks for making this blog. You helped me a lot on my research topic. Keep it up guys!ReplyDelete

Professor Sidanius and Arnold K. Ho, Ph.D. say their work reflects the cultural entrenchment of America's traditional racial hierarchy, which assigns the highest status to whites, followed by Asians, with Latinos and blacks at the bottom.

People who suffer from depression struggle with feelings of sadness and despair that interfere with daily life. Depression is a mental disorder that is often treated with a combination of therapy and antidepressant medication. While antidepressants usually work to relieve symptoms of depression, they also cause less than desirable side effects. It's ironic Ñ and frightening Ñ that one of these side effects may be an increased risk of suicide.
In 2004, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) released a warning that children and teens taking antidepressants may experience an increase in suicidal thoughts. This warning was based on an analysis of clinical trials that showed that children taking antidepressants had a 4 percent chance of exhibiting suicidal behavior, as opposed to a 2 percent chance among children taking a placebo. Later, the FDA issued another warning that included young adults between the ages of 18 and 24. Because of the FDA's findings, all antidepressants prescribed today must contain a "black box†warning Ñ the strongest safety warning the FDA can issue about prescription medications.
This connection between antidepressants and suicide appears to be consistent among all types of antidepressants, including selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), which include commonly prescribed medications such as Prozac© and Zoloft©, and older forms of antidepressants.
Antidepressants: Suicide Risk?
Suicide with antidepressants sounds like a cruel joke. Suicidal thoughts are a symptom of depression, and antidepressants are supposed to improve depression symptoms. However, in children, adolescents and young adults, taking these drugs may lead to an increased risk of suicide.
Increased suicidal thoughts seem to occur with antidepressant treatment for a variety of reasons. First, if the child is actually bipolar, and not simply depressed, then the antidepressants could cause a manic episode marked by risky behavior and possible self-harm. In other cases, antidepressants may generate feelings of anxiety, hostility, impulsivity, restlessness and agitation, all of which may lead to suicidal thoughts.
People taking antidepressants are most at risk for developing suicidal thoughts within the first few months of treatment. Increasing or decreasing the dosage may also contribute to suicide risk.
If a loved one, especially a child or a teenager, displays any of the following symptoms or behaviors during treatment for depression, seek professional help immediately:
- Aggression, hostility or violence
- Agitation or restlessness
- Anxiety
- Extreme increase in talking or activity
- Increasing sadness
- Panic attacks
- Problems at school
- Self-injury
- Sleeping problems
- Social withdrawal
- Thoughts about suicide or dying.
Dealing with Antidepressant Side Effects
Since suicidal thoughts are dangerous antidepressant side effects, friends and family members should closely monitor the person taking medication. Watch for signs of worsening depression or suicidal behavior. Pay particularly close attention during the first few months of treatment, and anytime the dosage is changed.

Oral hygiene for children is as important as physical and mental wellbeing, but very few parents understand this. Many parents I know believe that since children have baby teeth that they will lose in due time, oral hygiene is not that crucial until permanent teeth come along. Little do they realise that the foundation for healthy permanent teeth is laid during the early years of life with proper oral hygiene. Poor diet, poor food habits and improper brushing lead to tooth decay, cavities and distorted tooth structure in children which affect the permanent teeth.
Thus, as parents, it is essential to establish a good and systematic routine for children's oral hygiene and make them understand the importance of how oral hygiene and proper diet are necessary for happy and healthy teeth. I set a routine for #PrincessHeer even before her first tooth sprout out, guiding her and encouraging her to adapt to the correct and efficient techniques. We have worked through the no teeth phase into the baby teeth phase and wading through the current phase of losing baby teeth without any dental situations.
As a first-time parent, I did keep a close eye on #PrincessHeer's routines in the first couple of years of her life. When she had her primary teeth, I began brushing her teeth with a finger brush twice daily and then upgraded to toddler brushes on the eve of her second birthday when she started brushing by herself with a pea-size amount of children's toothpaste. A few important things that I've learned with Heer and would recommend to parents to set a great oral hygiene routine are:
~ use a soft-bristle brush so that the child doesn't hurt his gums and teeth
~ use a toothpaste specifically formulated for children as per their age
~ use a toothpaste pleasantly flavoured that the child will love
With the benefits of practising good oral habits, I was more hands-on in ensuring my little one's teeth were clean and healthy. Not only did I use Radius Totz Toothbrushes but also MamaEarth's Natural Berry Blast Toothpaste for kids that is fluoride free, and infused with aloe, xylitol and stevia.
So don't wait until it is late, start early and be rest assured about the gorgeous smile inside out.
Until next time,
- Heena

Though there is much to be concerned about, there is far, far more for which to be thankful. Though life's goodness can at times be overshadowed, it is never outweighed.
For every single act that is senselessly destructive, there are thousands more small, quiet acts of love, kindness and compassion. For every person who seeks to hurt, there are many, many more who devote their lives to helping and to healing.
When something needs to be done, even if it is difficult and demanding, there is always someone who steps forward to do it. When problems arise, there are always those who are eager to deal with them.
Though the goodness of life does at times suffer setbacks, it always endures. And when it is challenged, the goodness of life comes back stronger than ever.
For in the darkest moments it becomes vividly clear that life is a priceless treasure. And so the goodness of life is made even stronger by the very things that oppose it.
Open your heart and look around you. You will see that goodness shining in every direction.
— Ralph Marston
NOTES: Exactly what I needed today – "Open your heart and look around you. You will see that goodness shining in every direction"
Something not so nice happened this morning and I don't want to focus all my energy about it today. No to negative stuff pls. I want to just enjoy and focus in the goodness of life!

You'll find a variety of reasons why you might need travel insurance. This type of coverage is ideal for folks traveling for work, personal family vacations as well as students studying abroad. Quite a few men and women do not even think about insurance when organizing a trip.
Travel arrangements are frequently chaotic enough with air carrier and accommodation bookings to be made and bags to pack. You might even have to include passport updates and vaccinations for overseas.
After taking care of all these specifics something like insurance may be disregarded. Unlike automobile and home insurance, travel insurance is not promoted as much and many folks do not even know it exists.
Travel insurance coverage can easily safeguard you against a wide selection of unforseen circumstances. Among the things that can really cost you is if a trip has to be cancelled, delayed or is disrupted.
However travel insurance can easily guard against that. There are lots of reasons this specific kind of insurance may have to be utilized. Some of the things travel insurance assists in is health issues, jury duty, terrible weather conditions, issues with the flight or cruiseline and personal injury.
One of the most recent kinds of protection is terrorism insurance, which addresses your expenditures if the government issues a travel warning telling civilians to not enter a particular spot.
Among the most common aggrevations a vacationer can easily face is the loss or theft of their baggage.Some travel insurance policies deal with this up to a specific value. This is something which you would be very happy to have if your suitcases were suddenly lost or stolen.
Another often acquired type of coverage is medical-related. Diverse policies provide distinct types of medical-related coverage. If you get ill or injured while traveling you're covered. And if you have to be evacuated in a health-related emergency you could get insurance coverage for that too. As with every types of insurance, you'll find exceptions which are specific things that aren't covered.
You'll find a variety of ways to get travel insurance, referred to in certain places as holiday insurance. The first place you want to check is with the business which supplies your home, car and life insurance.
Another location to get it is by means of your travel agent. And if they do not have their own they can most likely tell you who does have it. When consulting with a local travel agent bring a list of queries you needclarified, especially if you are undecided concerning which agency to choose.
You desire to make sure the travel insurance policy you select is the right one for you and your travel agent should assist you with which. The needs of an individual or group traveling for a short term period is going to be distinct than those of long-term tourists.
You'll find comprehensive policies which cover the areas talked about above and more. You'll be able to also select a basic insurance package and add on to it as needed. The majority of all insurance agencies have a website where it is easy to learn more regarding the company and the services they offer.
In some instances you could get instant on-line quotes and even use for coverage online. Online apps are easy however , you is going to be verified through a real agent before completion.
It truly is smart to have travel insurance no matter where you're going. Things happen you can't control whether or not or vacation or traveling for business. Group rate reductions are frequently available for anyone traveling in a group.

Don't say I didn't warn you. Two new studies have recently been published validating what many health care workers have known for years — there are certain times when it's more risky to go the hospital.
One study, from the University of California at San Diego, found that fatal medication errors rose 10 percent during July in the U.S. counties with the most teaching hospitals. Known as the "July Effect," the research found a clear association between "inexperienced doctors and fatal medication mistakes" (coinciding with the time of the year hoards of new medical students and residents are just itching to get their hands on their very first patient).
And the time of the year isn't the only factor: The New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM) reported on a study that examined the differences in mortality between patients admitted to the hospital with a myocardial infarction on weekends versus weekdays. They found that more patients who died were originally admitted on weekends. The authors concluded that this was due to the patients not receiving invasive cardiac procedures that ideally are performed on the first or second day of admission. A study published in the journal Chest found that people admitted to intensive care units on weekends were more likely to die than people admitted during the week, probably due to staffing shortages and difficulty obtaining various tests and therapies.
All of this research gives new meaning to the phrase "timing is everything." You're probably thinking: "I certainly can't schedule my heart attack for Monday." This is true. We caregivers try to have our pulse on most aspects of family life, but planning what day grandma breaks her hip is not possible (as organized as we may be).
We can, however, exert some control. Try these tips:
- Don't plan elective surgeries to be performed in teaching hospitals over the summer months if possible (maybe grandma can wait for that new hip). If nothing else, avoid the first couple of weeks in July.
- You shouldn't be afraid to go to a hospital in July, but, as always, be informed about your own care and question your doctor about any treatments he is performing.
- If you are not feeling well during the week, don't wait until the weekend to see if you feel better. Contact your doctor by Thursday or Friday morning when more staff is available and there is still time to be seen. If, however, you are feeling sick during the weekend, never hesitate to seek treatment at the hospital.

Types of Saudi Arabian Visa Available
There are 5 main types of Saudi Arabian Visa that are available if you want to visit Saudi Arabia, the following sections will explain what each type is and what it is for.
Business Visa to visit Saudi Arabia
A Business visa is for an individual to visit Saudi Arabia to do business with companies within Saudi Arabia, this is normally only given to an employee of a company outside of Saudi Arabia once the individual has been invited by the company wishing to do business within Saudi Arabia. Some individuals also use this to do short term work in Saudi Arabia by making up their own business name as a consultant or similar. However you still need a specific invitation from a company in KSA.
These visas are normally 3 or 6 months in duration, and can be single or multiple entry, try to get multiple entry if possible the difference is only a few dollars.
Beware; these visas must be updated monthly, either by leaving and returning or your host company getting a government stamp, which may not always be granted! If your visa has passed this point then you could be held at the airport and the fines could be as much as 10,000SAR, over $2,500.
Saudi Arabian Holiday Visa
These are now available if you wish to visit Saudi Arabia, however they are available as part of an approved package from an approved travel agent. See if you can find one!
Saudi Arabia Pilgrimage, Umrah or Hajj Visa
For those Muslims wishing to make a pilgrimage to Makkah (Mecca) or Medinah (Medina), the numbers of these visas are strictly limited and are available only through the specific travel agents authorised for these pilgrimages.
Saudi Arabia Work Visa
If you have been offered work within Saudi Arabia then you will be offered a work visa through your sponsoring employer. This visa entitles you to work within Saudi Arabia and to be granted a residency permit or Iqama once you have passed your 90 day probationary period. To be granted this visa you will have to provide a signed and approved contract of employment, the authorisation for your visa from the ministry of foreign affairs in KSA as well as a full batch of medical tests and legalised Educational certificates. Use an agent that does this on a regular basis or you will lose track of what you need!
Saudi Arabia Family or Dependant Visa
Once you have completed your probation period you are entitled to bring your family to join you, the dependant visa will entitle them to a residency permit once they enter the kingdom allowing them to stay as long as you do (you are their sponsor and responsible for them.) The permission is granted within KSA and your family then has to go through a similar process that you went through for your work visa. Please note that Saudi Arabia will only accept true legal marriages, you can't bring your girlfriend who you have lived with for 15 years and your illegitimate children. Please note also that if you are bringing children who are the product of a previous marriage you will need the written authority of the children's father.
Working in Saudi Arabia
You can only do work for the sponsor of your visa and only your sponsor is obligated to pay you, working for someone who is not your sponsor is against the law and could lead to severe punishment and fines. This means also that your spouse is not allowed to work, unless she transfers her sponsorship from you to an employer.
Transferring sponsorship is possible with the permission of your current sponsor but can be very troublesome and not always granted!
Exit Visa from Saudi Arabia
You can leave anytime from Saudi Arabia unless you have a work visa / Residency permit or are a dependant. In these cases you have to have permission from your employer to leave, without this you will be denied exit! In the case of a dependant the spouse is the sponsor and can give permission for exit. Some sponsors do deny exit, especially for domestic staff and drivers, there are many here who are repeatedly denied permission to leave and take holidays and there is little they can do!
If you are leaving Saudi Arabia for good, you will be issued a "final Exit" visa, a full check of all of your financial records will be made before you are allowed to leave, if you have any debts or own a motor vehicle then you will be denied exit until these have been dealt with.

Earlier this month, I accomplished a goal that I've wanted for a very long time. I finished the rough draft of my book. When I typed the words, "The End", I had written 297 pages, and 91,644 words. I was very, very happy. For about three days.
After three days, I started missing my characters. I felt like I lost friends that I'd spent years with. Feeling this way makes absolutely no sense because even though the rough draft of my book is complete, the book is far from done. It's a rough draft. Which means revision needs to happen, many times, probably, to get to the final draft. I am still spending plenty of time reading, editing, rewriting and tweaking my book. I'm with my characters almost every day because I am working on revisions almost every day.
But I'm not creating any more new content. I might add a little extra something to a scene, but the story line is done. I know how it ends. There's nothing new left, and I miss the rush that comes from creating something new.
I talked with my writing coach about this yesterday, and she said it was common for writers to feel the way when they finish the rough draft. She also cautioned me about starting another book just for the rush of creating. She said that's how books never truly get finished. They sit in rough draft form forever because the fun part is done.
I can see that, although, I really am itching to start on book 2 of the series. I wasn't sure there would be a book 2 when I committed to completing the rough draft earlier this summer, but now I'm sure. There will absolutely be a book 2. Even if I write it just for myself. But I won't start it now. My writing coach is an author who has published many books of her own. I trust her judgement so I'm delaying starting book 2 for now.
But I still have that itch to create. What to do? Make a new quilt? I could, but I have two unfinished quilts already that have been sitting while I dedicated the summer to writing. Write something else? A short story, perhaps? Maybe, but I have a writing submission due to my critique group on Sunday that I should work on first. How about cooking? I like to cook, but I haven't done much out-of-the-ordinary cooking like recipe testing/creating since I dedicated the summer to writing.
Cooking it would be and I knew just what I wanted to try to make. Deep-fried Swiss and Rye on a stick that I get at State Fair. Earlier this summer, I wrote a post entitled To Fair or Not to Fair, That is the Question, where I discussed my love, no, not love, obsession with deep-fried Swiss and Rye. Us Wisconsin-ites are known for our deep fried, batter coated, heart-attack-inducing cheese treats, but the Swiss and Rye takes deep fried cheesy love to another level. The batter isn't light and crisp like you normally find on a deep fried cheese curd. It's thick and flavorful, kind of like the batter used on a corn dog, only rye-ier.
Often, as I said in my fair post, my husband and I go to the Wisconsin State Fair on multiple days and part of the reason is so I can get the Swiss and Rye more than once per season. For the same reason, we sometimes go to our local county fair, so I can get the Swiss and Rye. This year has been a busy one, and we did't get multiple fair visits in. Nor did we go to multiple fairs. I got one, ONE, Swiss and Rye this year, which I shared with Dennis. (I rarely share my Swiss and Rye. I wait for it all year and when I finally get it, it's mine, all mine and I'm not sharing.) I wouldn't go so far as to say I'm addicted to Swiss and Rye, but I'm walking a very fine line and I know it.
Today, I decided to try to recreate the Swiss and Rye at home. I do not have a recipe. I only have the memory of the taste and texture to go by. Since the batter is very corn dog-ish, I started with the corn dog recipe from Cook's Country, my favorite cooking site.
I tweaked the recipe quite a bit, omitting some of the cornmeal and cayenne and adding more rye flour and some water to loosen the batter up. There wasn't much counter space left by the time I gathered all the ingredients I needed.
Swiss and Rye from the fair is huge. You are served a large block of crispy, batter coated cheese. It's roughly the size of my hand as you can see below.
I decided that my version of Swiss and Rye would be smaller. They'd be nugget sized. So I diced my Swiss cheese into 1″ by 1 1/2″ blocks. I mixed and measured. I whisked and stirred. I carefully heated my oil to right temperature. Once it was there, I battered one nugget of cheese and dropped in the oil.
It immediately started to bubble and all the batter stayed on the cheese, which was a relief. I very rarely deep fry anything, so I wasn't quite sure what to expect. After just a few minutes, I pulled out a perfect miniature version of Swiss and Rye.
I anxiously, and with much trepidation, took my little nugget of heaven over to the kitchen table to try it. Would it be close to the fair food perfection I know and love? Or did I just make a big mess in my kitchen for nothing? Only one way to find out. I cut it open.
What was the verdict? Not bad. The cheese to batter ratio was a bit off. I now understood why the vendor uses big chunks of Swiss cheese in their Swiss and Rye. The batter is so thick, you need plenty of cheese to stand up to it.
The flavor was good. It had the hint of the Swiss and Rye flavor, but not the full on, in your face, rye pop that I love. In writing terms, the rough draft of the book was done, but it needed some revision.
I added more rye flour to amp up the rye flavor, and then a little more buttermilk and water, to thin it out. The ratio of cheese to batter was a problem since I'd already cut up all my Swiss cheese into chunks. I dug around in the kitchen drawers and came up with some nice wooden skewers. I have no idea why I have them, but I did.
I carefully stacked three chunks of cheese on the skewer. This worked for nine pieces of cheese. A lot of the cheese pieces broke and cracked when I tried to skewer them, so I needed another method to stick them back together to create a larger chunk of cheese. Enter the toothpicks. I was able to thread two chunks of cheese on one toothpick without the cheese disintegrating. It wouldn't be as big as the skewered pieces, but they'd be better than frying them individually. I hoped.
I brought my oil back up to temp, battered all my cheesy morsels of various sizes, and plopped them into the oil. I'm not gonna lie, there were a few casualties. Some of the cheese broke away from the skewers which meant part of the cheesy nuggets weren't battered as they bubbled away. They floated in my oil like naked, gooey orphans. I tried to salvage them, and let them cook, but they were messing up my oil too much. Eventually, they had to be plucked from the group and thrown away. That happens with writing, too. Sometimes characters that I really like won't play well with the other characters, and I have to pluck them out from the story, and get rid of them, too. Being creative isn't for the faint of heart.
After a few more minutes in the oil, the rest of the cheesy survivors were ready. I scooped them up and popped them on a paper towel.
I called Dennis is to come and taste test with me. We each tried the skewered ones first. When I cut it open, I could've sworn I was at State Fair (minus the crowds, the heat and the juggling the hot cheese while I'm walking.) The cheese to batter ratio was perfect. And the taste? Spot on! I nailed it. It was as good, if not better, than State Fair Swiss and Rye. The breading was crispy but not greasy and with the perfect amount of Rye savory flavor to meld with the hot cheese.
The toothpick ones were good, too. So good that I forgot to take a picture of them. It wasn't as fun to eat them, however, because they had to be cut open in order to extract the toothpick. It's more fun to eat Swiss and Rye off the stick, like it's meant to be done.
We slathered them in dipping sauces (mustard for me, marinara for Dennis) and ate all we could, which, honestly wasn't that much. These suckers are filling! We have plenty for left overs, although, I have no idea if they'll be good reheated. If not, that's okay, we really shouldn't eat two meals of Swiss and Rye anyway. Actually, this recipe isn't something I will make very often. I'm thinking the next time will be in January or February, when it's below zero outside and we need a taste of summer to perk us up.
It was fun to create something this morning. It didn't stop me from missing my characters, but it was a good creative outlet, nonetheless. There is one down side to being creative with cooking. Clean-up. When I'm done writing, it takes me about three seconds to close my laptop and put it away. Cleaning up this disaster of a kitchen took a lot longer than that. It was worth it, though, to bring a taste of State Fair home.

Rhino Rye Beer
I needed to brew something quick. There are two carboys ready to rack, and yeast ready to ferment again. I've got a friend's beer scheduled for Tuesday, but thought I'd get one in before then. Was looking around for inspiration, when low and behold, there's some right around the corner. Kevin just brewed a batch that looks quite tasty for the upcoming warmer months. A pale ale with lots of rye and what looks like some smooth and easy hopping. I've been wanting to play around with a pale rye ale for some time now, so it seems perfect.
Kevin used rye malt. I wanted to use the malted product as well, but none was to be found at our LHBS. This created a pretty big brain freeze, and initiated some spontaneous creative thought. I'll going with 30% flaked rye. Just a small addition of sweet/aromatic malts should help with balance.
A few more things should make this beer different than other pale ales. Half a pound of Turbinado cane sugar may add dryness. Orange peel and Grains of Paradise will add complexity to the citrus hop notes, and a secret spiciness. These special additions should play well with fairly bold hopping of Cluster and Mt. Hood. After its finished, some dry hops will provide a kiss of delightful hop aroma.
As I wrap up with this post, I noticed under two hours after being exposed to a massive yeast cake, a mountain of foam is already steadily gushing out form a vigorous ferment. Absolutely fantastic! I also noticed two differences about this rye wort. 1. It had a milky cloudiness to it, and didn't seem to produce hot break or cold break protein coagulation. 2. It had a thick sort-of syrupy texture. I hope it clears up after fermentation, and perhaps it may have a decent mouthfeel. That might be nice considering the color is super pale.

Tasting Notes & Mugshot
Appearance: Pale yellow, pretty clear, nice white head with little lacing
Aroma: Full yet soft floral aroma with orange malt and rye in the nose, sweet scent
Taste: A good balance between bitterness and malt sweetness...not the crystal kind, rye sharpness, good bitterness, and an almost English bitter-sweet yet dry taste
Mouthfeel: Medium bodied with smooth carbonation
Aftertaste: Clean and smooth, some hop bitterness that's a bit difficult to describe...perhaps a result of generous gypsum
Drinkability: Very drinkable pale rye beer and great balance overall. Could enjoy a number of them easily. Quite refreshing. The sugar did seem to dry the taste, and reminds me of how imported English bitter pale ales taste, especially The Black Sheep Ale.

This recipe is the eventual outcome of an experiment that started with quite fancying chachouka, but having both some lamb to use, and a boyfriend whose fondness for pie borders on the obsessional. I usually make the chachouka from the River Cottage Veg book, (someone's replicated the recipe here) but after all the tinkering, this has basically nothing in common with it. It's definitely a pie, though. Look, you can see the pastry.
In fact, we get from there to here via the Braised eggs with lamb, tahini, and sumac recipe in Ottolenghi's Jerusalem, liberally crashed into spanakopita. The first iteration worked in pure flavour terms, but the textures were a wash out. So after a bit of work, this is what we end up with.
