Smoking Accelerates Skin Aging
Smoking has been long associated with wrinkles. This is recently confirmed by an observational study published in December 2007 issue of Archives of Dermatology which described a unique 52 years old twin sisters who spent not only their first 2 decades of life together but also in their later decades had the same type of job at the same latitude, resulting in well-matched levels of significant sun exposure. However, the twins differed markedly in regard to smoking history; the twin with an approximately 52.5–pack-year smoking history showed more severe skin aging than did the nonsmoking twin.
For additional information regarding smoking and the skin, please refer to the following interview of Dr. William Ting by Contra Costa Times: 'Smell of Success? Odor of smoke now a bother' by Laura Casey, Contra Costa Times on 11/19/2007; 'Your body, your skin will love you for stopping' by Laura Casey, InsideBayArea.com on 11/19/2007.

Against Me! has burst onto my life intensely. Not only thanks to their last record, Transgender Dysphoria Blues, but also because of the fascinating leader, Laura Jane Grace.
To be honest few I knew about this band, only that they had an album named Reinventing Axl Rose, with, obviously, Mighty Axl on the cover, and a couple of songs heard. You know, sometimes you can't cope with everything and have to set your priorities. Against Me! Wasn't one, even though some friends had told me I had to give them a chance.
With the release of the new album, the right time to start digging arrived. The impression caused by Transgender Dysphoria Blues was very positive. A pretty intense 10-track album, a straight declaration of principles, with lots of released energy, revelations and deep lyrics full of message. Solid composition and compact sound, and very very powerful.
The case of Laura Jane Grace is terrific. She was born Tom Gabel, and ended up leading a quite respected and popular band. After lots of years of inner struggle, having wife and kid, two years ago he discloses his change into HER. Tom is now Laura Jane, and will go on leading Against Me! No matter what it takes.
The more details I got acquainted with, the harder my crush on her was, up to the point that, giving so much thought to the impact of her decision on his/her female fans, I decided my monthly text for Rockzone March issue would talk about her. The thought of his fans in shock after discovering Laura Jane was no longer Tom, and their teenage crush fallen to pieces, was very inspiring. On one hand your concept of someone changes completely, and on the other the fact that he proved great balls going under treatment and making it public. Very brave.
Her guts, her story, her suffering…everything in Laura Jane is inspiring, and now I only wish some day I get the chance to talk to her.
Recently I've been dissecting one of the most likely to 5 albums of 2014 (sorry, I cannot tell yet), so obsessed, I've been listening to the same record nonstop for 5 days, until Tuesday, when the mailman finally brought me my copy after long delay. Today I've spent my evening with Transgender Dysphoria Blues. 28 minutes of emotional release, passion and rock. This album easily gets under your skin, as if the poison of a mosquito was, getting hooked right away. I'll have to wait until mid June though to get the chance to enjoy them on stage.
Don't want to start with forecasts yet, but I got the feeling I will talk about this album again at the end of the year. totally dig it!

The Frights are currently on tour in support of their new album Hypochondriac, which included stops in their hometown of San Diego and a show at the Observatory in Santa Ana, CA. I had listened to the Frights before, but only recently had I taken the time to listen to their entire discography. After learning more about them and seeing them live, it's safe to say that the Frights are definitely one of my new favorite bands.
I was excited to see that Hunny was announced as an opener for the tour; I had seen them twice this summer and knew that they would put on an amazing show. Just when I thought it couldn't get any better, it was announced that Hot Flash Heat Wave was opening as well. I had never seen Hot Flash Heat Wave, but they had been on my list of bands I would like to see live for a while.
When Hot Flash Heat Wave took the stage, the crowd's energy was high but remained reserved until the band began to play one of their most popular songs "Gutter Girl." Everyone lost control as the familiar first notes of the song were played and a mosh pit broke out. The crowd stayed at that level of energy and excitement throughout the rest of their set, and I have to admit it was an intense way to start the night.
The crowd was packed into the pit, which at this venue is blocked off in a way by a wall and you can't get out of the pit unless you go to some stairs at the very back of the area. Everyone was packed in so tight, it made things very uncomfortable at times, especially when my sister and I ended up against the wall and essentially got crushed by the moving mosh pit. It was a little scary but also pretty fun.
Hunny's entire set was met with the same intense energy as before, with every song just as danceable and upbeat as the next. Even though they were performing as openers and I had previously seen them at headlining shows, lead singer Jason Yarger brought the same level of performance to the opening set. They played most of their popular songs, including my personal favorite, "Parking Lot" off of their first EP, Pain / Ache / Loving.
The Frights were up next, and I was honestly pretty worried for how much crazier the crowd would get. I had used up most of my energy dancing to the two openers, so I wasn't ready to spend their whole set in the pit. They opened with "Kids," and the crowd burst into motion again. We danced and screamed the words to the song before deciding we needed to take a break from the pit. It was much nicer to be on the tier above the pit since there was still room to dance but also fresh air to breathe. The Frights were incredible, as expected, and it felt so nice to scream along with the crowd during the more rowdy songs. Despite a couple of technical difficulties, the setlist had a great flow. I danced the most during "Crust Bucket," one of my favorite songs from their self-titled first album. I also enjoyed hearing songs off the new album live. I especially appreciated "Alone," which almost made me cry because the lyrics are so raw and emotional.
One of the funniest parts of the show was during the encore, when lead singer Mikey Carnevale sat on the edge of the stage and sang one of the slower, doo-wop style songs. I couldn't see what was happening, but suddenly the song stopped because two guys were fighting in the pit right in front of where Mikey was sitting. Mikey said something along the lines of "Of all the songs you were gonna fight to, you had to fight during the doo-wop one? There's no fighting in doo-wop." Of all the songs for a fight to break out during, it was funny that it happened for one of the few slow songs of the set.
After the show we bought shirts and I bought You Are Going To Hate This on vinyl. They also gave out free stickers which I appreciated. Overall, it was one of the most fun shows I have been to even though it was hectic and intense, and I'm still feeling a little bit of "post-concert depression" after that night. If you ever get the chance to see the Frights live, definitely do so. They will be playing at Tropicalia Fest this November in Long Beach. Although their newest album, Hypochondriac, wasn't met with the warmest welcome by long-time Frights fans, I can honestly say I love every single song on the album.

Billy TimminsQuestion:
51 Mr. Timmins asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment if the specific objectives and strategies under the national development plan are on target. [6993/01]
Vol. 532 No. 4
51 Mr. Timmins asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment if the specific objectives and strategies under the national development plan are on target. [6993/01]
My Department is the designated managing authority for two of the operational programmes under the national development plan. These are the Productive Sector Operational Programme and the Employment and Human Resources Development Operational Programme.
The objectives and strategies outlined in the national development plan, which relate to my Department, were drawn up in close consultation with Departments and the implementing agencies, which include Enterprise Ireland, IDA Ireland, Shannon Development and FÁS.
Under the plan, the Departments and agencies have been set ambitious targets, in particular in relation to the development of the Objective One – BMW – Region. For example, under the Productive Sector Operational Programme, IDA Ireland have a target to locate 50% of all new green field jobs in that region.
The operational programmes under the NDP are monitored by their respective monitoring committees. My Department chairs both the monitoring committees for the productive sector OP and the employment and human resources development OP.
The first annual reports on the operational programmes will cover the year 2000. These reports are being compiled at present and are due to be considered by the monitoring committees in April-May. While my Department has not yet to hand the full returns for the last year, I am confident that over the period of the plan, the targets for both operational programmes are realistic and achievable. Both programmes will be subject to ongoing independent evaluation to ensure they remain focused and on target.

Project information
Volunteer Hub
Help us achieve our dream of providing meaningful volunteering for learners with disabilities. To further develop their technical and interpersonal skills, while providing much needed peer to peer support for those learners presently recieving our home training.
January 2013 - December 2014
Charity information: UCanDoIT
The internet, though its interactive capacity can provide amazing opportunies. Even though these opportunities are out there waiting for our learners, many lack confidence, practical experience or the friends and family on which they can practice their skills. The creation of our volunteer hub is another opportunity for us to provide tangible practical support.
The volunteer hub will enable our volunteers to offer direct support for those learners undergoing our training course and build their confidence. They will be able help with homework, such as email and social networking. Having someone who has a similar disability helping you is a huge confidence builder. There will also be opportunities to build experience for CV's. Opportunity for meaningful activities, to share knowledge and experiences.
Aim 1
Make the project accessible, irrespective of disability.
Activities» The Hub will contain the appropriate software, computers and furniture to support anyone with a physical or sensory disability.
What success will look like
By having volunteers with different disabilities using and being part of the Hub
Aim 2
Ensure high levels of self sufficiency and independence.
Activities» Ensuring the every aspect of the office is accessible removing any potential barriers by providing approriate equipment and facilities,
What success will look like
The ability to perform tasks from start to finish without undue support. Volunteers and learner feedback.
Aim 3
ensure we are providing meaningful opportunities which are rewarding and have a positive impact.
Activities» In addition to providing peer-to-peer support for present learners, the volunteers will be given tasks that can build on their own skills.
What success will look like
Increased numbers of volunteers and learners successfully developing new skills. Numbers of volunteers moving on to employment or learning opportunities. User feedback
Aim 4
Build a community of support amongst and for our learners.
Activities» For learners to receive support from someone who received the training will build confidence, hopefully encouraging them to want to do the same.
What success will look like
Once the success of this type of support is firmly established, the Hub will be rolled out across our other main training areas in the UK.
Aim 5
Provide a stepping stone for further employment or learning.
Activities» By building confidence, experience, establishing a routine.
What success will look like
Providing the volunteers with meaningful tasks which incorporate online filing, using 'office' programmes. Volunteers offering 'interview' practice.
Recent monitoring by one of our present volunteers who contacted learners who graduated 5 years ago, found that 35% had moved on to some sort of employment. We hope to increase these percentages through the additional support the Hub will provide. Issues such as loneliness, the need to participate in meaningful activities, the importance of peer group contact; can all be addressed in part though the interaction the Hub will provide both for the learners and the volunteers.
That the project doesn't provide the opportunities for our beneficiaries and the volunteers that we want to create. We have spent a lot of time talking to our learners asking them what additional support they would like to see. Some of our learners have become tutors themselves, feedback from this source is invaluble as they have quite a unique insight. Volunteers must feel supported and valued. A specialist co-ordinator with assistive technology and interpersonal skills to be recruited.
The Donors will recieve a follow up report of the completed Hub together with photographs of the volunteers 'in action' .
Budget - Project Cost: £19,888Loading graph....
Amount Heading Description £2,300 Preparing Space Labour and materials £1,380 Furniture Adjustable desks, ergonomic chairs £4,100 Computers Software, Computers and Hardware £4,308 Kitchen Re-furbishment and equipment £7,800 Co-ordinater Part time project manager
The Hub will be located in our offices in Wandsworth.
The volunteers will primarily though not exclusively, graduates from the UCanDoIT home training course. The volunteers will have either a physical or sensory disability. The learners supported by the Hub will also have a disability, living in London, West Midlands, North West, South East or Scotland. At any given time we have 250 learners undergoing our training support. Each one of those learners is an individual with different interests and support needs.
Why Us?
Why Us?
We were the first and still are the only charity in the UK that provides structured home training support for people with disabilities,based on an assessment of individual need. The assessments we carry out, is what makes us so unique and so successful. We have now supported over 4,000 people who collectively have over 80 different forms of disability. We believe in feedback, it is our learners who have asked for this project.
Read more about the Charity running this project.
Patricia Webb
Is the Development Manager for the charity and will oversee, develop and channel the areas of support the Hub will provide.

Once a woman reaches the age of 35, infertility problems can become more common. Some couples to turn to in-vitro-fertilization for help. It doesn't always work the first time, and can become a costly and emotional ride. Now, a new study reveals how PGD, or pre-implantation genetic diagnosis, combined with in-vitro can increase pregnancy success.
"When you utilize PGD their chances of having a successful pregnancy are increased," said reproductive endocrinologist Lawrence B. Werlin, MD.
PGD has been primarily used to look for genetic defects like cystic fibrosis. But now, reproductive endocrinologists say it can also help pick out the healthiest embryo for in-vitro fertilization.
"PGD is looking at whether or not an embryo has too many or not enough chromosomes," Werlin said.
According to a new study led by Werlin, two-thirds of the embryos in many older women don't have the 46 chromosomes needed for a healthy baby. The PGD procedure, which uses special probes to look at the embryo cells under a microscope, can identify whether the embryo is abnormal. Avoiding implanting the abnormal embryos increases a woman's chance of getting pregnant, and helps ensure a chromosomally healthy baby.
Experts say PGD can add about $3,500 to the cost of in-vitro fertilization and there is a slight risk that the embryo can be damaged by the biopsy.
A new study is about to begin looking at PGD's role in lowering multiple birth rates in the United States by implanting fewer embryos. The study may hold promise for reducing financial and health risks associated with in-vitro fertilization.

(NORTH CANTON, Ohio) – The last 15 seconds of Thursday evening's 62-61 victory over Hillsdale are some that won't be forgotten in a long time by the Walsh faithful. After a buzzer-beater broke the hearts of the Cavaliers (15-5, 10-4) on Tuesday, they rebounded with a buzzer-beater of their own to down the Chargers (17-5, 11-4) to make Alumni Arena erupt.
After Hillsdale inbounded the ball with 30 seconds left, the Chargers' Nate Neveau eventually drove the lane and dished off to Gordon Behr who was wide-open on the left block. At the last second, however, Bo Furcron was able to leave his man and meet Behr in the air and blocked what would have been a game-icing layup.
Darryl Straughter was able to pull in the rebound and drive up the court with under 10 seconds remaining. After a quick dish off to Chandler Vaudrin to reset, Straughter launced a 3-pointer from the left wing and found nothing but net and a 1-point win.
It was a spectacular ending to one of his best games of the season. He finished the night with a game-high 19 points on 7-of-9 from the field. He was 4-of-5 behind the arc.
He was joined in double figures by Furcron with 14 points and Vaudrin who added yet another double-double with 13 points and rebounds.
Naturally in games like this, nothing came easy for the Cavaliers who were down by as many as 14 in the game. That occurred after Neveau scored on a layup to make the score 36-22 with 4:07 left in the first half and forced Walsh to call a timeout.
Coach Jeff Young's call to attempt to get his crew refocused worked out as Walsh came out and started a 19-3 run that stretched into the second half and gave the Maroon and Gold a 41-39 lead after a Furcron layup.
Hillsdale eventually regained the lead and held it for the majority of the second, half, but momentum was now on the side of the Cavaliers.
The win avenged an early season loss to the Chargers back in December. Walsh will have an opportunity to do the same on Saturday when it hosts No. 11 Findlay. Tip-off with the Oilers is set for 1 p.m.

text: Bite Me was an amusing tale of hybrid shifters, were-honey badgers and a search for vengeance and retribution. Trust me, no one wants to be on the bad side of a honey badger clan! I laughed a lot though I don't recommend this as a standalone because the many appearances of previous series characters will leave you confused if you don't know them. An amusing story, if a bit light on the romance part.

Essentiolitt Pig is our biosecurity solution for the swine industry.
It is used to maintain the flooring of the pen dry and used predominately in the furrowing pen during parturition. Essentiolitt Pig can be spread on the house floor and on the litter as a piglet dryer/ new born pig desiccant. It can be used as a disinfectant and bedding conditioner in deep litter housing systems. Essentiolitt Pig can be used as a piglet dip after furrowing. It reduces the ammonia emissions from the pen and regulates moisture levels of the bedding thus maintaining high standards in pig house hygiene.

Happy Birthday Justin!
Justin's 28th birthday was on the 31st. Most times, i never know what to get him. We always buy games and dvds and electronics, so there goes those ideas. But this year was different, thank goodness! Our first birthdays celebrating as a married couple and i think i did very well this year! Since we're headed to Vegas soon, he wanted a little video recorder. Sure, our little point and shoot takes videos, but he wanted a recorder that was specifically for that and didnt really look like one, but more like a cell phone, and it had to have a slot for a memory card, not just internal memory. So he ended up getting this little kodak one, the Zi6. He loves it. He even took it out shooting the guns with the neighbors this morning, and then afterwards, they liked it so much, they went and got one too! I also picked him up the Madagascar 1 & 2 DVDs. He always sings the little bit "I like to move it move it" but we didnt have the dvd yet surprisingly. So he was happy. His request to his parents for his birthday, was to cook fried cauliflower. That stuff is a mess! Good thing his mom will do it for him, cause uh, I wont. Fried zucchini (spelling? It looked funny with just one c, so i added another one?) was bad enough. bleh. So we went to their house for dinner and cake and presents....
We still have a fridge full of this stuff. I know what he's having for lunch tomorrow. and dinner tonight. and a snack the next day.
Oh lookie there, black and silver balloons! He also had a transformers one. haha He's been on this snickers ice cream kick, so i told his mom to get him an ice cream cake. and now i know what im having for dessert tonight. bwaha
I also told him to tell his mom he needs a new razor. He will never ever answer us when we ask him what he wants for his birthday.
Mussssstang ;)
I might steal the tshirt from him. tehe

Jigani (Bengaluru Rural): PM Modi on Sunday exhorted healthcare professionals to integrate traditional Indian medicines including yoga into the modern healthcare system to make wellness a part of life.
"My vision for healthcare is an integrated system that understands and builds on the best and most effective of different traditions," he said after inaugurating the 21st international conference on Frontiers in Yoga Research and its Applications (INCOFYRA) organized by the Swami Vivekananda Yoga Anusandhana Samsthana (S-Vyasa) Institute at Jigani, about 30 km from Bengaluru.
He said people are no longer satisfied with just preventing and treating diseases. "They now demand promotion of wellness which is a healthy balance of the mind, body and spirit. So we must address the question of psychological state of our existence as much as we try to advance our physical and material life. This is where the role of yoga is paramount," Quoting recent studies by the WHO, the PM said it is estimated that India stands to lose about $4.58 trillion before 2030 due to non-communicable diseases. He said yoga has profound health benefits . "It fits well with the change in the way that world increasingly defines health. It is in this spirit that Swami Vivekananda called for combining the best from East and West," he added. -ManuAiyappa Kanathanda

You rented a flat for the whole year but you'd like to leave for a month or two to visit your folks in your country and then come back. You think to yourself: it doesn't make much sense to pay for the flat you're not using, logical, right? So you decide to sublet. The question is: can you actually do that?
Check your lease agreement
Before you take any action please check your contract for any paragraphs about subletting the flat. If your lease agreement involves a statement that only you (and perhaps your flatmates that started renting the flat at the same time) are allowed to live in the apartment it means you cannot sublet it to anyone else. Also, if the contract indicates the tenants by their names and / or states how many people are supposed to live in the flat – you cannot sublet it.
If there is no such statement in the contract remember to check with your landlord – they might agree to your idea (especially if they understand your situation). Just make sure you've obtained their approval in writing.
Termination of the agreement
Yes, subletting or "lending" a flat to someone against the contract or without a formal approval of a landlord may result in termination of the agreement – according to the Act on the Protection of Tenants' Rights
It cannot be an immediate termination though, you will have a month to move out.
If you found yourself in such situation and your landlord does not want to return the deposit saying that this is to cover the costs of additional people living in the flat – don't worry. They don't have the right to do it, because it's not what the deposit is for.

Jon Stewart was ridiculing the Congressmen who missed their "oath of office". However, I was very disturbed when I heard the actual oath.
The Constitution specifies the exact oath of office for the President. For Congressmen and other Federal employees, the Constitution specifies the oath but not the exact text.
These two pages have a good summary.
The original oath of office for Congressmen was pretty simple:
I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support the Constitution of the United States.After the US Civil War, it was extended to:
I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter: So help me God.I found this extremely disturbing. I was offendeded by "defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies foreign and domestic".
I know that the Constitution isn't a valid contract. The Constitution is a massive fraud. State thugs have a monopoly for interpreting and enforcing the Constitution. The slaves are SOL when State thugs claim too much power.
Does that mean I'm an "enemy of the Constitution"? As part of their oath of office, do Congressmen swear that I'm their enemy?
"The Constitution" is an abstract fictional idea. I can't be an "enemy of the Constitution" any more than I can be an "enemy of Santa Claus". A more accurate statement is "My enemies are people who use violence (or threat of violence) to steal from me."
If government is a voluntary contract, then do people have the right to get rid of it and replace it with something better? According to Congress' oath of office, the answer is "no". The main issue of the Civil War was that people don't have the right to renounce support for the Constitution.
The above oath is the same oath that soldiers take. Does that mean that "Congressman" is a military job and not a legislative job?
The oath that judges take is the above oath PLUS:
I, XXX XXX, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will administer justice without respect to persons, and do equal right to the poor and to the rich, and that I will faithfully and impartially discharge and perform all the duties incumbent upon me as XXX under the Constitution and laws of the United States. So help me God.A judge *ALSO* declares war on "enemies of the Constitution". If you're a tax protester/resister, than the judge is obligated by his oath to rule against you, because tax protesters and some political protesters are "enemies of the Constitution".
Some people say "FSK, if you want to change things, why don't you run for Congress? Why don't you support less dishonest politicians?" First, I'd have no chance of actually getting elected. Second, I couldn't take an "oath to support the Constitution" in good faith, because I know it isn't a valid contract. Of course, most Congressmen violate their oath, but in their own minds they didn't.
Finally, as an honest politician, I'd only be making slightly more than I get paid now as a wage slave software engineer. It wouldn't be worth the hassle. A dishonest politician gets paid his salary *PLUS* whatever State resources he can steal. It would be much better if each Congressmen directly wrote himself a check for $100M and otherwise behaved honestly. Instead, much more is stolen indirectly via pork projects and lobbyist-written laws.
A Congressman's actual salary is illusion. The real value is all the State resources he can steal. This means that dishonest politicians squeeze out honest politicians. A dishonest politician's effective salary is much higher than that of an honest politician. In effect, the State "bids" for dishonest politicians, because they get paid more and have more incentive to seek political office.
It was offensive to see Congress' "oath of office". Every Federal government employee takes that oath. Am I an "enemy of the Constitution", because I know it's a fraud? Does every Federal government employee, as part of his "oath of office", declare that he's my enemy?

Oh hai there!! It's been a while…like, a long while. I really did mean to come back and write a quick recap of the Buffalo Creek Half, and then things got crazy (as usual) and I forgot. Then when I finally came back to WordPress, I couldn't remember my password and locked myself out of my account. My bad. But I finally got it unlocked, so the quickest way to get back into things is with bullet points, and cat pictures.
- I ran a 2:11:07 at the BCHM (a 7:16 PR!!!)! I was not expecting that at ALL and was on a runner's high for days after! My game plan had been to start with Jennifer, and then around mile 5 or 6 go on ahead if I felt up to it. Then, at mile 10 speed things way up and race the last 5K. The weather was perfect for racing and around mile 4.5 or so I waved goodbye and went off on my own. The trail is SO PRETTY that time of year – I had to remind myself to keep running and not stop and just take pictures. I stuck to my plan really well at when I saw 2:11 on the clock at the finish I was stunned!
- I don't think I'll be running the Pittsburgh Half 😦 . When registration opened I was just starting my classes and wasn't sure I would have the time to train for that. By the time I decided I would probably be able to pull it off, registration was $100. I am a total cheapskate so there is no way I am paying over 100 bucks to run a half marathon. I know sometimes as it gets closer to race day, people sell their registration if they can't run it so if I can find someone doing that (or a giveaway) I might give it a shot (and if my schedule cooperates). I'm a little sad to not be running it, because I've done some form of the half or full since 2012 but I'll survive. Somehow.
- Speaking of school, I finished my first full semester of school about two weeks ago! WITH A 4.0!!! I worked my ass off for that, so pardon me for just a quick second while I brag about it 😀 !! Now that I have a few classes under my belt, I really do think I'm getting the hang of it. At first, I was operating under the assumption that I wasn't spending every.single.waking.moment. on my school work then I was going to fail. I slowly learned that was not the case, and frankly, just not realistic. I really want to do a full post on that, just in case someone out there is in the same boat.I'm on break until the 10th and I am loving it!
- I may not be partaking in the Pittsburgh Half (or full) but I think I AM running a full marathon next year! Yessiree!! After giving some thought, I'm pretty sure I'm going to run the Harrisburg Marathon next November! There are some logistical things to work out, but I'm sure that it will work. As I mentioned, I'm getting better at managing my school work, and I feel pretty confident that I'll be able to get in the training. I also already decided that I am just NOT setting a time goal for this race. For real, this time. I'm going to run this race 100% by heart rate, and whatever happens….happens. I just can't handle finishing with another disappointing time. If I don't set a goal time, I can't be disappointed…right?! Sure..
I'll keep this short – there is SO MUCH to talk about that I basically have nothing to say.
Give me a quick update on your life?! What did I miss? Are we still friends?
What did Santa bring you for Christmas?

Health Care Market Strategy | Applying Quality Management in Healthcare | Understanding Healthcare Financial Management | Managerial Epidemiology | The Middleboro Casebook | Accountable Care Organizations | The Managed Care Contracting Handbook | Ipa, Pho, and Mso Developmental Strategies
Today, with physician and hospital reimbursement being cut and tied to quality incentives, physicians and health plans are revisiting the concept of integration. Payers are demanding that the industry do more with less without sacrificing quality of care. As a result, physicians again find themselves integrating and aligning with hospitals that have the resources they lack or must develop together.
Written by an acknowledged expert in the field of physician integration and managed care contracting, Physician Integration & Alignment: IPA, PHO, ACOs, and Beyond examines physician integration and alignment in the current healthcare market. It outlines the common characteristics of integrated groups and various organizational structures, and also explains how you can avoid making the same mistakes of the past. Filled with suggestions and ideas from successfully integrated practices, the book:
- Identifies industry drivers for the resurgence of integrated models and the need for aligned models
- Provides a look at the common characteristics of integrated and aligned groups and how the components can work together
- Discusses antitrust and other regulatory concerns present when considering the right organizational and management structure
- Offers time- and money-saving checklists, lessons learned, models, and templatesâsaving you thousands of dollars in consulting fees
Maria K. Todd provides readers with the vision and practical tools needed to organize their business entities in a manner that will maximize economic clout and provide quality of care for both the hospital and physician group. This much-needed resource includes helpful insights on topics such as declining physician reimbursement, declining margins, physician shortages, physician-hospital competition, rising practice investment requirements, the return to capitation as a payment mechanism, and recent changes in the relationships between physicians and health systems.
Maria currently is the principle of the largest globally integrated health delivery system in the world with over 6,000 hospitals and 85,000 physicians spanning 95 countries. She has developed more than 200 integrated and aligned IPAs, PHOs, ACOs, MSOs and healthcare clusters in her career.
About: Today, with physician and hospital reimbursement being cut and tied to quality incentives, physicians and health plans are revisiting the concept of integration.

late blight continues to kill tomatoes
On yesterday's visit to my community plot I found late blight on all of my remaining tomato plants. My next chore will be to remove them all. Bag and dispose in the trash. I was hoping a few of my plants would have survived, but all have succumbed. 16 plants - 11 varieties that I babied since March.
I also had a sad note from the New Hampshire Farm that I distribute CSA shares for. Its a long but very interesting note so I'm posting most of it here. Very sad to think of all the lost crops for local farmers.
I'm nervously watching my little patch of 8 tomato plants tucked in next to my house. But, with fingers crossed, they look fine so far. I make sure not to go near it after being at the community garden. Looks like another day or two til the big tomatoes ripen.
Late Blight appeared on our farm last week. Thursday, in the cherry tomatoes, enough small lesions that we took out the entire planting immediately, with the hope of preventing spread to our main tomato and potato fields. With several advisors from UHN Agricultural Extension, we examined our main season tomatoes and potatoes, and found no sign of Late Blight on Thursday. But by this morning, I found blight lesions in various places in the tomato field, including on one ripening tomato.
The quick summary for you again: Late Blight is a fungus endemic to the southern U.S. that, in wet years, makes its way north to New England. This is usually in September or later, and affects a few potato and tomato fields after the main harvest is concluded. It is not harmful to humans, except in terms of crop loss. It's not normally (never before this season) a big deal for most NE farms. This year, it seems that a single nursery from the south distributed infected tomato seedlings to Wal Mart and Home Depot, among others, who sold those plants to home gardeners across the Northeast. Once these plants were planted outside, the fungus began spreading across our region, some three months ahead of the typical schedule and in time to do serious damage to the harvest of both gardeners and farmers alike. Weather conditions suited the Blight perfectly - cool and wet - and we haven't yet seen the long stretch of hot and dry that might put the Late Blight in check. This week may be the dry and warm we've all been hoping for, though it's probably too late for the tomatoes on our farm.
There is no organic control for this fungus once it appears, and conventional sprays have limited effectiveness as well. The organic copper fungicides that we have used over the past 6 weeks may have some preventative effect, but because they are washed off in every rain, this has been a challenge. With the blight on our farm, the only options are to burn, bury, or discard affected plants to try to slow the spread through our farm and to other growers.
So right now, we are facing limited choices and a mountain of work. The sunny weather will be on our side as we proceed. In the tomatoes, the cherries are already untrellised and tilled in. Because the main season crop looks beautiful and is just beginning to ripen, we're going to try pulling out infected plants one by one, as well as using our hand-held flame weeder to burn infected leaves. Honestly, we're not hopeful, particularly because other farmers who are further along with the blight aren't reporting great success with these "pruning" strategies. We'll try this approach for a few days. Of course, we have a whole farm to care for, so cannot let everything else go for a potential fool's errand in one crop (even one of the favorites).
Potatoes, we are thanking our lucky stars that we already have a reasonable crop underground - blight notwithstanding, it's been a great potato growing season. However, the Late Blight spores can quickly travel through the vines and rot the potatoes underground. We've decided to kill the potato vines, and enjoy the harvest that is already sized up. Up and down our valley, farmers are doing the same. Conventional farmers use an herbicide for vine kill, and it is certainly disconcerting to see dead potato fields all over in early August. As organic growers, we have a harder road to hoe, as we attempt to mechanically kill all of the vines without damaging the potato hills underneath. First, we've been mowing the field. Later today we'll go through with weedwackers (yes, that's 8 miles of weedwacking!). When that's all done, we'll sweep through with the crew and loppers, knocking back the last remaining living stubs. We're learning that there's no such thing as "overkill" when it come to late blight. We'll see a smaller yield, as some spuds would have continued to size up over the rest of the summer. And we're uncertain if we'll lose some storability with such early vine kill - the potatoes have to store underground for at least two weeks after the vines are dead, to set the skins for storage. We'll see. But plenty of mashed potatoes remain in our future this season!
Of course, we're disappointed about (likely) losing the tomatoes, as we know you are as well (why couldn't it be the turnip blight?!). The epidemic proportions beyond our farm, as well as the connections to large-scale, industrial agriculture, make the blow a bit harder to swallow (or not swallow, as the case will be). We are so deeply sad for many other farmers who are seeing serious financial losses due to the blight. We hope you understand that there is abolutely nothing that we can do to have this crop for you this season. I really, really, really wish we did (can you hear me stomping my feet now?). Of course, everyone knows, not just farmers, that hard work doesn't always lead linearly to good results. We are affirmed in our commitment to growing for you, through Community Supported Agriculture. We are grateful for your support and understanding.
Jenny and Bruce, Picadilly Farm LLC, Winchester, NH
And another quote added Wednesday, August 5. This from a CSA farmer in White River Junction VT, after blight landed on his farm last week:
"All this reminds me that while climate change is the big cloud hanging over the land, it's actually transportation that has done the serious damage to our ecosystems so far. (Both problems being manifestations of fossil fuel use.) We humans love to travel, and we love to move stuff all over the place for fun or profit or by necessity. This brings new species into contact with one another, often to the detriment of one or both. Most of the damage in VT/NH has been to our forests so far - chestnut, elm, butternut, and beech essentially gone, with ash, hemlock, and possible sugar maple in imminent peril. Agriculture is in less danger, primarily because everything we grow is not native to here anyway. Hopefully in this case, a nice cold winter will wipe out the blight and bring us a fresh start next year."

What Are We Doing?
Opposing the hostile takeover of Liberty Apple Valley
Opposing the hostile takeover of Liberty Apple Valley
I attended a meeting the other night where Bill McDaniel was griping again about the way Liberty Utilities has been operating. As is true for many such persons, McDaniel knows next to nothing about what actually goes into running a water utilities, but that doesn't stop him from second-guessing Liberty Utilities.
What should have stopped him, though, was the realization that without full and complete transparency on the part of Liberty Utilities, he would have no idea what to complain about. As it is, everyone has the ability to criticize Liberty Utilities because virtually everything Liberty does is out in the open.
Compare and contrast that to the Town of Apple Valley. At one time, the Town repeatedly stated that it was going to be transparent about the millions it is spending attacking Liberty Utilities. That transparency has proved to be ephemeral at best. The two so-called
transparency reports issued by the Town are so riddled with errors (and worse) as to be untrustworthy.
Even those so-called reports have stopped coming out, though, despite multiple assurances to the contrary. To this day, the Town continues to hide costs, and has spent untold thousands in legal wrangling to avoid having to respond to public records requests about this and other topics.
Maybe if McDaniel turned his attention to what the Town is doing behind closed doors, he would find a deserving target for his ire.

Cucumber is a solid vegetable which contains a rich measure of water and crucial supplements that recover the skin normally. It additionally contains cell reinforcements and vitamins C and K, which can annihilate free radicals in the body and anticipate wrinkles and the maturing procedure. The most imperative compound in cucumber that backings your connective tissue is silica.

Here's the way to set up the cure:
Peel the cucumber to start with, then cut it down the middle and hack one half into little pieces. Put the pieces in a blender and blend for two or three minutes on rapid until the blend resembles a puree. Next, strain the blend through a dressing in the dish, then include 1 egg white and combine everything.
Apply the blend on the influenced regions all over, then abandon it to labor for 15 minutes before flushing with icy water. Rehash the system twice per week for best results.

Blog for Zipline Attraction in the Smoky Mountains
Located in Pigeon Forge, TN and near Gatlinburg and Sevierville.
Blog posts for November 2014
Well, almost… Although Ober Gatlinburg ski resort hasn't yet opened its mountain slopes for skiing and snowboarding, you can still get in some early winter fun by snow tubing. Now through early spring 2015, the attraction's 10-lane tubing course is open to the public, offering zippy downhill action for ages 3 and older. Tubers have to be at least 6 years old, but ages 3 to 5 can ride with an adult.
For some folks, Thanksgiving means time at home with family, enjoying a big meal and giving thanks for blessings. Maybe this year, though, it might be fun to shake things up a bit and let someone else do all the cooking. In fact, you could visit the Great Smoky Mountains next week, have that turkey dinner and still get to enjoy all the great things about a vacation in the Smokies.
This week, the communities of Sevierville, Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge are kicking off their annual Winterfest celebrations, and the one element each town shares is lots and lots of holiday lights. Once you combine all the light displays in the three cities, and then add in all the lights at Dollywood, we're talking millions and millions and millions of individual lights. That's a lot of bulbs!
We had a bit of early winter weather here in the Smokies last weekend, and it definitely had an impact on Great Smoky Mountains National Park. The mountaintops were covered in snow, and LeConte Lodge at the top of Mt. LeConte recorded nearly two feet of snowfall.

Fernando Alonso may be relying on the old cliche of taking one race at a time, but if Red Bull's rising consternation is to be believed, Ferrari could yet mount a decent bid to win this year's title.
Defending champion Sebastian Vettel's call for more dedicated work from the Red Bull team, along with team chief Christian Horner's claim that Alonso was not only the winner but also the fastest man on the track in last Sunday's British Grand Prix, suggests they see the Italians as their major threat.
McLaren, apparently confused in recent weeks, seem to be slipping away in the title race just as Ferrari are preparing to mount their almost traditional mid-year revival on the great high-speed circuits of the European season.
Alonso, however, like the wily and seasoned campaigner that he is, knows that nothing but speed, performance and consistent results will count as he begins the enormous task of cutting into runaway leader Vettel's 92-point lead.
Taking his cue from Ferrari president Luca di Montezemolo this week, Alonso said it was too early to talk of anything other than remaining grounded and thinking only of the next race.
Ferrari's crushing of Red Bull at Silverstone is, to him, already in the past.
"That win won't change our approach and we just have to remain entirely realistic now," said the two-time world champion.
"We are 92 points behind in the classification and that is a very big gap!
"We will tackle the races one at a time, trying to win as many as possible and I know now that this will also involve taking a few more risks and maybe it will happen that we pay a high price for that, but there is no alternative.
"We are definitely not giving up, but we must not think about the championship — as our president has said already at Maranello, we are keeping our feet on the ground."
The 29-year-old Spaniard believes also that recent changes to the off-throttle blown diffuser regulations have had nothing to do with Ferrari's improved performances or the win at Silverstone.
For him, as for Red Bull, the story is that the scarlet scuderia have made real progress in recent weeks and can now produce front-running pace.
"I haven't spent too much time thinking about the technical reasons behind the win in the British Grand Prix," he added, in comments made on the Ferrari website.
"Each race has its own story and we know only too well how much things can change when you go from one track to another.
"There were definitely some major improvements on the car, which means it feels much easier to drive now and you can feel it much more stuck to the ground than before, especially in the fast corners."
Ferrari team boss Stefano Domenicali, acknowledging the importance of the team's first win of the year, said: "I am like Fernando … I want to be cautious, but, also, 'You must never say never!'
The Ferrari revival has followed a revamping of the team's technical staff earlier this year, when technical director Aldo Costa stepped down.
That move followed a terrible afternoon at the Spanish Grand Prix, where Alonso led but was eventually lapped by both the Red Bulls and McLarens.
Steady progress since has seen Alonso reap two podium finishes in three races before Silverstone, where he won convincingly.
"We took quite a big aerodynamic update there and everything worked — Felipe [Massa] and I are feeling happier with the car now, understandably" said Alonso.
"It is no secret that we lost a bit of ground in the first couple of races because we put new parts on the car that weren't quick.
"But it seems that in the last three or four races every new part we put on the car is working fine. I am very proud of the recovery we have made."
For Ferrari and Alonso, the next test comes in next weekend's German Grand Prix at the Nurburgring, a circuit where Red Bull will be desperate to bounce back and do well. — Sapa-AP

My 4-yr-old son started in the Little Tigers class, and taekwondo has helped him build his self confidence. We got to watch him to be the 'captain' of the class one day where he lead the closing of the class–it was very cool and I'm sure was self-empowering to him :). We've been VERY impressed with all the staff and student teachers too. They always greet you with a smile and are always pleasant, courteous, and professional. They're the best at what they do!

With notes of "sparkling nectarine, sultry amber and exotic cattelaya orchid" Sexy Little Things Noir is not my typical scent, but I couldn't resist it's sultry scent and the bottle now sits beautifully on my fragrance shelf.
The wear time of this scent is about 4 hours, but it's such a lovely scent that I don't mind re-spritzing every now and then. If you're stuck for gift ideas, I'd definitely go and check out your nearest Victoria's Secret store as the Beauty Department has some amazing scent gift sets at the moment.

THE FINEST season was the last for "Girls." The writing was never better, and the finale felt real, memorable, and worthy of contemplation.
"Girls" became an important series, because it never worried about fitting in.
There is no more powerful statement for a feminist.
Ross Douthat today should be read, because one man's view, in this case, proves the power of what Lena Dunham and Judd Apatow created.
But it was the equal of the prestige dramas and superior to "Friends" and "Sex and the City" as a scripted-acted-shot achievement, and reliably funnier (in a wince-inducing way) than any of them. And as a mirror held up to American culture, it showed something very different than its prestige-TV peers, something equally important and arguably more forward-looking and distinctive.
… From the beginning, the unattractiveness of their behavior inspired some queasy responses to the show from liberal and feminist critics, and some celebratory rejoinders about how the freedom to make a mess — sexually and otherwise — is the central freedom that feminism sought to win.
Brilliant observation from a man in an op-ed that has many of them.
Contemplating Girls, for me, begins with ruminating on Sex and the City.
When I was in my twenties, I hit New York City to find my way, and explore my creative aspirations, landing on Broadway. A single woman, living with a man, trying to stay employed, keep a roof over my head, and figure out where I was going.
In my memoir, The Sexual Education of a Beauty Queen (Padaro Press, 2014), while excavating culture and its impact on women, I wrote about Girls.
In the second episode of Girls, Lena Dunham's character, Hannah Horwath, shares a modern-day trauma for most sexually active females at one time or another in our lives. Why, she's going to get an STD test. That's preceded by an afternoon of Googling what the possibilities are of a condom not protecting her during sex, not to mention discussing the horror of the scary stuff found around the condom's rim, all the while inspecting her vagina. "…And then when they pull out, it's fucking mayhem. I've been diagramming it in my head all afternoon. And no one speaks about this," Hannah shrieks.
The Catholic League will need something strong for this HBO show, and it's only a matter of time before Bill O'Reilly's head explodes.
But this is the ultimate gift for women who watch.
It's identity combat.
In the doctor's office for her exam, later in the same episode, Hannah just starts babbling. Hannah's response to the pelvic exam begins where we all did way back when: "Ow."
"Is that painful?" asks the doctor.
"Yeah, but only in the way it's supposed to be," Hannah responds.
It's the twenty-first century version of, "Only a man could have come up with the idea of stirrups and that cold steel vagina scoop" – the ultimate Girls joke.
If the HBO show does one thing, I only hope it can energize the usage of the word girls for us all, no matter our age. Because it has become clear to me the older I get that deep inside me that thing that keeps me going no matter what comes is my very girl-ness. The energy at my core that doesn't change, no matter the life assaults and the injurious physical indignities that begin once you're out of your twenties, which isn't my womanness, but the unflagging force of my inner, raging GIRL.
Lena Dunham's writing for her character is one thing, but her presence as a brilliant, average girl with anything but a Victoria's Secret-model image is especially stirring.
Seeing a common thread through "Girls" and "Sex and the City," as a woman in my twenties in New York City, there were wins, horrific defeats, even humiliations, which led to a creative epiphany that changed my life forever.

Fire Information for Resource Management System (FIRMS)
NASA's Fire Information for Resource Management System (FIRMS) distributes Near Real-Time (NRT) active fire data within 3 hours of satellite observation from NASA's Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) and NASA's Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS).
MODIS Active Fire Products
Collection 6 has been available since September 2015. Find out more about the most recent MODIS version. MODIS NRT active fire products (MCD14DL) are processed using the standard MOD14/MYD14 Fire and Thermal Anomalies product. Each MODIS active fire location represents the center of a 1km pixel that is flagged by the algorithm as containing one or more fires within the pixel.
VIIRS Active Fire Products
Note: False fires reported due to super heated smoke plume in nighttime detections (3 August 2018)
New: VIIRS NRT 375 m active fire products (VNP14IMGTDL_NRT) complements MODIS fire detections but the improved spatial resolution of the 375 m data provides a greater response of fires over relatively small areas. The 375 m data also has improved nighttime performance. Read more on VIIRS Active Fire products.
Please note, in an effort to standardize VIIRS file names, the short name for VIIRS NRT 375 m product was changed from VNP14IMGT to VNP14IMGTDL_NRT (18 April 2016).

3 August 2018: During the recent California fires some spurious VIIRS night time fire detections have been picked up due to super heated smoke plumes combined with a high view angle. Read an explanation for these events. Such incidents are rare but we suggest you exercise caution when displaying the VIIRS night time fires.

Are you having issues with water in your basement or garage being flooded? One of the main reasons to main drain getting clogged are tree roots. Tree roots can cause extensive damage to drain and sewer pipes. They must be removed and cleaned out before any damages occur due to a clogged drain.
Drain roots grow into the pipes because the sewer pipes contain water, nutrients and oxygen-the essential elements for trees to grow. Aside from drain and sewer blockages, tree roots growing inside sewer and drain pipes must be maintained to reduce blockage. Roots from trees growing on private property and on parkways throughout the service area are responsible for many of the sanitary sewer service backups and damaged sewer pipes experienced in Montreal and the surrounding areas.Our drain experts will start by cleaning out the roots within the drain with our metal drain snake. The Drain Snake will cut out all the roots from your pipe making a clean flow in your drain. Most roots are located in the main drain from the city sewer to the entrance of your home. We have located roots in drains, sewer lines, storm pipes and septic systems.

They were making hay in the field behind my house and I paused to watch the tractor going back and forth, the bailer towing behind and the bales spitting out into piles.
I watch the bailers every year with the same fascination, and each time I do I remember, many years ago, when there was magic.
We were kids, sitting in the sunshine by the edge of a cornfield, watching a bailer just like this one. And on one of his circuits the farmer stopped.
"You kids," he said. "You can play with this stack if you want. But don't go touching any of the others."
We waited until he had gone.
And then…
Those bales became a fort, and a castle, a dungeon and at one point just an ordinary shop. We fought battles, held sieges and made daring rescues, chasing our enemies across the stubble in the summer sun.
Later the farmer came back with a trailer, loaded them up, and the magic was gone.

Making Hay

There was an overgrown wilderness when was young, and amongst it all there was a derelict old building. That was our fort, etc. Years later someone deemed it unsafe and had it knocked down. Years of magic were taken away with the rubble in the backs of trucksReplyDelete
Grown ups can be such kill-joys, can't they ;-)ReplyDelete

And there was me thinking this was a post about the Literature Festival ...ReplyDelete
So are they still making bales that are good for building with out your way, not the ones that are like big loo rolls?

And they do both. It depends on what they're going to do with it. :-)

ABOUT BRIDGETTE — A MORPHEW BIOBridgette Morphew is a creative entrepreneur with unparalleled aesthetic instincts. Her expansive understanding of the fashion business has shaped her successful and inspirational career.

The business quickly grew into a pop-culture phenomenon, and was featured in Rolling Stone Magazine and The New York Times.
Upon graduating, Bridgette moved to one of the world's fashion meccas, New York City. In 2005, she started Paradox Designs with a fundamental yet revolutionary idea: collect and curate rare fashion artifacts to provide fashion designers with an exclusive source of historical context. With a collection of over 5,000 pieces, Paradox is now a well-respected resource for the world's most celebrated designers.
Bridgette's unique vintage archive sparked interest among trendsetters like rock stars, actors and artists. With that in mind, in November 2013 Bridgette and her team created a new brand, Morphew, that serves a fashion-loving retail clientele. Morphew enables Bridgette to expand her founding mission beyond industry insiders to a community of enthusiasts and collectors.
