Happy Christmas Eve, friends!
A couple of weeks ago, we were invited over to help some friends procure a Christmas tree. Side benefit: egg nog. I confess, I wasn't particularly excited. I didn't think I liked egg nog. Oh boy, was I wrong. The second the creamy, cold, boozy deliciousness hit my lips, I knew I had to try my hand at the homemade variety.
I can just hear you now, "But Rachel, raw eggs?" Yeah, yeah. This is the cooked version. No salmonella here!
Egg Nog
Based on Alton Brown's recipe. Serves: 6 (1 cup servings)
You'll need:
- 4 eggs, separated into yolks and whites. Tutorial HERE.
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 2 cups of milk
- 1 cup of heavy whipping cream
- 1/4 cup of spiced rum or bourbon
- 1 tsp. nutmeg
- 1 Tbs. sugar
1. Separate your eggs into whites and yolks. Put the egg whites in a small bowl, and put them into the fridge for later. Put the egg yolks in a medium bowl, and beat them with a mixer until their color changes from a shiny and bright yellow, to a duller, more-like-cake-batter cream. Add 1/3 cup of sugar and beat until sugar is dissolved. Set aside.
2. In a medium pot over medium high heat, combine milk, cream, and nutmeg. Bring to just a boil. Remove from heat, and allow to cool for 5 minutes.
3. Add a small bit of milk mixture into your eggs as you beat with a mixer. Once combined, add another small bit. Continue until all of the milk is incorporated into the eggs. You add it bit by bit to avoid scrambling your eggs. Which is to say, you just tempered eggs. Congratulations!
4. Pour the eggs and milk mixture from the bowl back into your pot. Over medium heat, bring the temperature to 160 degrees (not higher!), and remove from heat.
5. Add 1/4 cup of your booze of choice, and put mixture into the fridge to cool.
6. After it is sufficiently cooled, whip your eggs whites into soft peaks. Add the remaining tablespoon of sugar until stiff peaks form. Whisk the whites into your egg nog. Serve whenever you'd like! If you want it a bit more boozy, feel free to play bartender and add as you go, customizing drinks based on the tastes of the person.

text: I scanned my favorite parts from my three 360 figure drawings i did in class, and i uploaded them on illustrator, then i drew the cutting lines around some of the drawings that would like to be individual stickers. After printing and cutting the illustrations on a clear vinyl, i decided to show the gestalt principal continuation, because i noticed the most of my stickers could possible from one picture and they sort of complete each other even though they're all from different parts of the three drawings. So i tried to show forming a person by combining three stickers of body parts (1st composition). i took the picture the that angle because the lines were more visible in front of the blue sky rather than the trees. then i added two more stickers to the figure, so i looks like an active figure in the second picture and present less stillness that the figure had. the white line of the snow behind the 'form' was purely accidental, i just wanted the stickers to look like a weird smudge on the glass, or perhaps some blurry from.

Shannon Beador and Her Girls Just Threw David the Most Adorable Birthday Party
The #RHOC family gathered for the partriarch's big 5-2.
If you ask us, there's really no better way to ring in another year of life than by gathering up those closest to you and chowing down on homemade cake. And that's just how David Beador celebrated turning 52. The Real Housewives of Orange County dad's family pulled out all the adorable stops for his big day.
"Happy 52nd Birthday to my husband and love of my life!" Shannon Beador wrote on Instagram. "Nothing better than homemade birthday cake made by the kids (they couldn't wait and made it when I was on the phone). We love you Daddy!"
That singing is top notch. After all, the Beador daughters are pretty skilled in that department. And, by the way, a belated HBD from us, David!
Check out some throwback Beador photos, below.

Aaron Berger's street snaps capture the vibrant heart of NYC
Some street photographers don't think twice about shoving their Leica under a stranger's nose. Especially in New York City. The shot comes first. All eyes on the prize. But Aaron Berger's approach is decidedly less macho and confrontational. He gets his best shots – which capture the vibrant life of the city's most bustling streets – by quickly moving through the crowd, through the torrent of commuters, consumers and crazies. Most people, he says, don't know he even looked at them. He's there, he clicks, he's gone.
Despite his refusal to puff up his chest and face his subjects nose to nose, there's a sure-footed confidence to his work. Behind the lens you sense an eye that's drawn to certain repetitions in human behavior, to people who, often without realizing it, look identical. I called him up recently to talk about his wry observations of New Yorkers, what he thinks about the prevalence of smartphones in street photography, and those rare times when he presses the shutter and instantly knows he has something special.
Your work clearly takes time – time to spot things, to see things, to get lucky on occasion. How long are you out there at a time?
It often depends on the weather and what I've got going on that day, but usually it's at least six hours, sometimes maybe up to 10 hours, if it's a nice summer's day.
Are you trigger-happy when you're in the streets?
Oh I'm very trigger-happy. I don't think I go for minutes or even a whole minute without taking a picture. I'm an optimist, I think, when it comes to something maybe turning out as a picture. So yeah, I click the button a lot.
What's your eye drawn to?
I'm really trying to not look for anything. I like to let myself react to whatever I react to. I want it to be intuitive, I don't want to be thinking about it or knowing what I'm going to do ahead of time. I try to have a clear mind, and whenever I intuitively react to something that makes me want to take a picture, I just do. Then of course as I look through my pictures you can see what I tend to react to. But it's not something I'm going out looking for. It happens more naturally.
Do you have any favourite NY spots where there's maybe better odds of finding characters?
I wish I didn't because when I keep going to the same spots it starts to feel too familiar. But yeah, I do have reliable chunks of land in New York City that are always crowded. Obviously Midtown Manhattan, Herald Square and Times Square, and Central Park, like the really fancy shopping area, there's sort of that stretch of land where it's just really crowded everywhere. Grand Central, too. So inevitably I end up walking around those places.
Do you have a method for keeping people unaware of you?
I think I'm just pretty quick. I guess if I have one approach it's that I never – pretty much never – stop moving. As I'm passing by people I'm taking their picture as I'm walking, as I'm stepping. I don't stand still ever. I don't really make eye contact with people before or after the picture's been taken, so they often don't even know. A lot of times people look behind them. They never felt that I looked at them.
Do you ever hear people shout after you've pressed the shutter?
Oh yeah, it's happened [laughs]. It's bound to happen if you do it all day. But very rarely now. In the beginning it used to happen a lot more because I was more nervous. I would be furtively glancing up at people to see if they were reacting to me and that was much more noticeable. But now, very rarely.
In some photos it seems like you had the balls to move closer to people and capture them.
I don't know if it's balls [laughs]. It's just that I found a way of getting away with it that suited me. It's definitely not a really macho thing, but I know in the picture you can see I got really close to people and it might seem like I'm able to jump in front of their faces, but that's not how it is. It's just that very brief moment that I was there and then I'm gone and I'm doing everything I can to not disturb people and not have any interaction.
What are your memories of taking the photo of the two Asian girls on their phones?
That's right next to the old Apple store on Fifth Avenue, which was always kind of a landmark for a photographer walking around New York. Everybody would eventually walk by that huge, fancy Apple store right near Trump Tower. I always used to go to the Apple store to use their bathroom. That was my bathroom pitstop. And I was just coming out of the store and I saw them doing that. It was a bizarre thing, the type of thing that I would always react to, the strange, mirrored image of two people interacting, touching each other.
Tell me about the photo with the guy in the doo-rag with dollar bills between his lips. There's echoes of that Jeff Mermelstein shot of the old woman with bills between her lips.
He's great! I was walking home, after a really long day of walking, and like most days I didn't get anything [laughs]. I was feeling discouraged. And then this guy was coming out from the Subway and he turned the corner. And I saw the money in his mouth as he was walking up the Subway, up the steps, and I thought, I wanna take picture of this guy who has money in his mouth. As he turned the corner the breeze whipped up the bills like that, and yeah, fortunately I was there and was quick.
Did you know instantly that you had something good?
Yeah yeah, of the hundreds of pictures I take a day, very rarely do I know that, okay, something is really happening right now; if I can frame this reasonably well, this could be really interesting. So yeah, I felt that one. I thought, Oh this has a good chance.
The work harks back to the NYC street photography of the 70s. Do you look up to people like Garry Winogrand and Joel Meyerowitz?
I very much admire Garry Winogrand. He's sort of the guy. And all the others as well, I like all of them really. But Winogrand is the one that I felt most inspired by. His photos don't hit you over the head. There's a subtle, wry humour in a lot of them. That's definitely something I relate to.

Taking it further
One of my recent day-course students, Liz, has e-mailed me to say how busy she's been since our time at the torch together! You'll recall from one of my previous journal posts that Liz had been kitted out with her own lampworking set-up at home, and she certainly hasn't wasted any time in producing these incredible beads since letting fire inspire here at the workshop! Thanks Liz for allowing me to share this picture here.
If you've got some lampwork beadmaking experience, either via one of my courses or from a course elsewhere, and want to continue making your own beads without the need to set up a torch at home, have you considered the option of booking some torchtime here at the workshop?

Gavin and I met at a snowmobile hill climb 5 years ago. Ever since then we have enjoyed many of the same activities together and are happy to have found each other. I finished school at Utah State University this spring, and he was living in Star Valley working.
We tied the knot in Grey's River Wyoming at the Box Y Lodge. We both absolutely love Grey's River and thought there was no better place to begin our life together. It was a perfect ceremony followed by a big celebration for the two of us.

Horizon by Tabitha Lord
Wise Ink Creative Publishing: December 1, 2015
Genre: Science Fiction
Review source: Free from publisher
False start (did not finish): page 60
No suitcases
I don't often review books I don't finish, because I feel like I can't give the book a proper chance when I have only started it. After all, what am I missing at the end? That said, I put this one down with strong feelings of disappointment and frustration.
When it began, Horizon was a story about a lone woman with telepathic and empathic abilities who saves a man from dying on the ship he's just crashed into her planet. Before page 60, it became a story about the last few years of her life, revealed through mind-melds between her and her crash-landed patient. Her memories reveal that her parents were killed in an accident, her city was razed and her people massacred in a genocidal attack against her people, the survivors were kidnapped, and she was raped.
The first part of the story had great potential. It read like Jane Lindskold's Artemis Awakening: A planet that had in not-too-distant memory struggled through a terrible war, a heroine who is able to survive on her own in the wilderness, and a foreign starship carrying a man from a different world (literally).
Then it became a horror story about the terrible things humans do to each other, which is why I put the book down at page 60. The heroine's recent history, explained through this mental connection she has with the extraterrestrial, is clearly meant to provide her with reasons to be in the wilderness alone when his ship crashes, and to give them an emotional bond and time to be alone to forge their relationship. (Any claims I make about anything that happens after page 60 are my own guesses, and absolutely not based in the text itself).
My objections are twofold: that there was so much needless (in my opinion) violence whose only purpose was to set up the plot, and that so much of the introductory chapters focused on the heroine's tragic history instead of the current situation in which she finds herself. It felt like an infodump and too-convenient plotting rolled into one. The story I had been hoping to read was one about interplanetary relationships, an interpersonal relationship between two people from different planets, and some conflict arising out of both. Maybe this book becomes that book. I don't know – I stopped reading at the rape scene.
Instead of this one, I would recommend…
Better Reads
Artemis Awakening has everything I was hoping for in Horizon. A young man from a outer space, unexpectedly landing in the wilderness of a different planet. A strong young woman, who guides him and teaches him about her civilization, even a telepathic bond with an animal! Lots of adventure, and the collision of two different cultures. Plus a very intriguing mystery.
One of the best books I've read about interspecies/interplanetary relationships starts the Foreigner series. This is not just about different races, or different civilizations: it chronicles one human's work as liaison between his species, and a species that is so biologically different that there are certain things about each that will never make sense to the other.
For a really fun, romantic space opera about when telepathic, empathic, and clairvoyant humans explore the galaxy for other humanlike species, check out The Terrans. I loved it. Read my review by clicking on the book cover.

What's Going ON: DEGUAYHAUS - Concept Store, Portals Nous
Souvenirs use to come in the shape of a magnet, or maybe a terrible postcard with a illustration of a flamenco dancer. But honestly, do you really need more clutter in your home? Wouldn't you rather take home a piece of pottery handmade by a local artisan, or even a small woven basket that you can put by your door to keep the car keys in. Gift smarter, trust me your friends will be so grateful, they may even book a trip to Mallorca themselves... AND we would love that!
We were greeted by the Shop owner and we got there just in time as the day was hot and costumers were not exactly wanting to leave the beach to go shopping just yet. She made me a delicious and ice cold ginger tea while I had a chance to slowly take it all in. Every nook and cranny is packed with something different. Hand painted bowls with Soller Gambas on them (I know who is getting a set of these for the holidays), Moroccan wedding blankets, tiny stools and so much more.
The atmosphere in this shop is so inviting, you almost want to sit down with a book on one of the many seating arrangements. I'm always shopping for unique pieces for my dining table and interesting vessels for dinner parties. Sorry if you had your eye on those cute little glass parfait coups, I scooped them all up!
LTMtip: This is the perfect store for a birthday present. If you are stuck on what to give, even for a children's birthday party, this is your one stop shop!

I have a colleague that says working with parents usually complicates her job and she'd rather just focus on the students. What would you say to that?
I recently brought this up at a networking meeting hosted by Family Friendly Schools. It's worth thinking about WHY teachers are reluctant to dive into family engagement first. This will help you think about what reasons might resonate with them.
So what are some common reasons teachers are reluctant to engage families?
1. Teachers develop tunnel vision. Teachers are pulled in a million different directions. To cope with the ever-expanding "to-do list", teachers develop a rigid commitment to a few (usually legally mandated) things. Reaching out to parents is not legally mandated and it takes time and energy.
No on is arguing this. What we, who believe in family engagement, are arguing is that reaching out to parents is the most effective thing you can do for your students and your own sanity. A classroom where relationships are the focus is a classroom where students AND teachers thrive.
I guess your friend would just have to try this idea on before she can buy it. I hope she does give it a shot.
2. Teachers are very different than the parents of their students. The majority of teachers are white, middle-class, college-educated woman. They often work in places where the majority of their students come from non-white, working class, non-college educated homes. With this diverse mix of race and culture, you've got a recipe for misunderstanding and mistrust, on all sides.
These differences affect even a very well-meaning of teachers. Instead of ignoring this (and thinking it's better to not wade into that "complication"), teachers must work harder to understand and empathize with their students and their families. Like, actively work at it. "Family engagement" is actively working on bridging the divide. It's better than refusing to confront and push past this reality of the classroom.
3. Teachers feel they have a calling to lift children. When I completed my student teaching, my mentor teacher gave me card where she wrote, "Teaching is a calling and you should always feel lucky that you have been chosen to do this work."
This is a beautiful sentiment, isn't it? And from the number of Pinterest and Instagram images that basically say the same thing, this resonates deeply with all of us educators. Thinking that you've found a "calling" in teaching and that you can be that "Miss Honey" inspires and invigorates us, but it can also create a false sense of pride.
The truth is, teachers are one year the life of a child. Their parents are a lifetime. Teachers care deeply about their students. Their parents--love them. A teacher will give her students the gift of learning. Their parents—the gift of life.
So if your friend really feels called to "focus on the kids" and to make a difference in the life of a child, she should get off her high horse (a little) and stop overlooking the role of a family.
4. Teachers don't feel respected by parents. Public school teacher can feel like they are working in fish tank. From politicians to pundits to policy makes to parents—everyone has an opinion about what kind of job you're doing. This makes it VERY difficult for teachers to open themselves and their classrooms to parents.
Ironically, of course, a willingness to be vulnerable is the very thing that separates truly transformative teachers from pretty good ones.
5. Teachers aren't trained. Like any other skill, engaging families can be intimidating if you have no training or experience. Your friend, like the majority of educators, probably doesn't have the tools she needs. Of course, the good news is there are tons of resources (like me!) out there. And, like all other skills, you can stumble forward, until you get better at it.
Did you know I love to work directly with teachers, families, administrators, librarians, dads, students, abuelas, community members, program directors, teachers-in-training and literally everyone else? Talk to me.

The link between smoking and multiple sclerosis (MS) is "clearer than ever", with those who smoke more likely to develop the condition and become disabled more quickly, a charity has warned.
The MS Society said it has completed a major evidence review into the connection between smoking and the chronic lifelong and disabling condition, which affects the brain and spinal cord and has no cure.
One study found that quitting smoking could delay the onset of secondary progressive MS – a form of the condition that has no treatment – by as much as eight years.
Its research also found most people with MS do not realise the connection with smoking – despite the fact official guidance advises healthcare professionals to tell people as soon as they are diagnosed. In a recent study, the majority of people with MS (89 per cent) did not know anything about the risks of smoking and MS.
Ahead of October's annual Stoptober campaign, the charity is warning that smoking can make MS more active, and worsen and speed up the accumulation of disability.
"Looking at all the evidence, it's clear smoking can make MS worse and harder for the brain to fight the condition," Dr Susan Kohlhaas, the charity's director of research, said.
"Over 100,000 people in the UK have MS and, in light of this review, we are encouraging and supporting every one of them who smokes to quit - it could make a difference to how their MS progresses."
Management accountant Tamar Packford, 43, from Blackpool, was diagnosed with relapsing MS four years ago.
She said: "I've been smoking about 20 cigarettes a day since I was 16, but had no idea it could be making my condition worse.
"Obviously everyone knows cigarettes are bad for you, but I think very few people realise it might affect MS symptoms, or make MS progress faster.
"It's frightening but, if quitting could keep me out (of) a wheelchair longer, I'm thinking very differently now and definitely considering giving up with some support from the NHS and Stoptober."
Research suggests smoking can cause further damage to the myelin sheath – the protective layer that surrounds the nerves, which is affected in people with MS.
This prevents messages getting through properly, causing common symptoms such as vision, mobility and cognitive problems.
Research also shows an association between smoking and the number and/or size of brain lesions appearing in MRI scans.
This increased damage could be the reason people with MS have less ability to fight the condition, or experience worse symptoms earlier.
Smoking can also impact how effective treatments are, meaning more relapses.
Dr Waqar Rashid, consultant neurologist at St George's Hospital in London, said: "MS can be painful and unpredictable, and is often stressful to manage. Some people with MS believe smoking helps them manage stress, and healthcare professionals can be reluctant to take that ally away from someone who's just been diagnosed. But knowing that continuing to smoke might impact the disease and its progression could make a radical difference to some people."

My obsessive play of the week is another international tune. I decided that two versions of "Symphonie" by German rock band Silbermond just weren't enough. I was perusing Amazon and located a third "Orchester Version." More strings and (drum roll please) an Oboe (double reeds, represent!)
The song is, at its core, a rock break-up ballad. The hook, in this case, is "Symphonie…und jetzt es ist still um uns" (Symphonie…and now it's quiet around us). It's solid stuff, though I'm taken more by the overall sound than the lyrics.
The initial version I encountered was pretty much pure rock. Again, solid stuff. It helped to branch my collection of German musik into a cool middle ground between the head-banging, angry-time music of Rammstein, the synthesizer-of-the-80s-live-on sound of the "Schlager" pop music (I love it, but I recognize it's not for everyone) and the truly ol' skool folk music my family brings out for holidays and reunions (think beer halls and yodeling). I needed something that was solid rock-pop, and this (along with the rest of Silbermond's repertoire) fit the bill.
I was even more pleased when I found the second version, still rock, but with a touch of orchestral strings. Very classy. The orchestral touches made the sound more melancholy while letting the guitar build up bring home the gut-wrenching aspect of a failed relationship. I completely support cross-musical-genre-efforts, but we've all seen some forced disasters. This was not one of them. I was more than impressed enough.
Until they added the French Horn and the Oboe.
There is very little in this world that cannot be made better with a French Horn and an Oboe. Rock ballads get better. Symphonies reach their pinnacle. The weather gets nicer. Babies stop crying. Ice cream tastes better.
No, really. I swear.
This final arrangement took the increase in melancholy from version 2 and ramped that up, but they still retained the rock build up. As with the second version, the combination of the classical orchestra sound worked with the rock band–no feeling of shoe horning. The added instrumentals made the slow, quiet beginning even richer, and they even seem to play a larger roll once the guitar and drums kicked in, which is nice. I thought the drum entry was a teensy bit heavy, but the points gained with the added orchestral parts out-weigh the split second when the transition seems too sudden.
The downside of this ear-worm is that I went looking for even more Silbermond MP3s on Amazon only to find there are very few. The only full up album is Verschwende Deine Seit from 2004. The rest are 2-3 track single albums (be warned, if you buy from Amazon, watch those singles albums–several are priced at $9.99 for the album, when there are only 2 tracks which you can buy individually for $0.99). The selection of albums on CD is larger, but the prices are significantly higher. And, unfortunately, most of the official videos from the group on their YouTube channel are geo-blocked for those of us in the USA (we deserve it, I know).

What are you afraid of? Everyone's afraid of something, whether that be crime, death, heights, spiders, or clowns. Something that everyone – particularly the poorest members of society – should fear is climate change. Unlike plenty of other concerns, this one is actually a serious, existential threat.
Fortunately, according to a new global survey, much of the world has recognized that looming shadow of climate change. As reported by Pew Research, 61 percent of nearly 42,000 people across 38 countries consider the man-made phenomenon to be one of the greatest threats to their lives – just behind ISIS, which ranked at 62 percent.
The top eight perceived threats are as follows:
1 – ISIS (62 percent)
2 – Global climate change (61 percent)
3 - Cyber attacks from other countries (51 percent)
3 – Condition of the global economy (51 percent)
5 – Refugee movements from Iraq, Syria and similar (39 percent)
6 – US power and influence (35 percent)
7 – Russia's power and influence (31 percent)
7 – China's power and influence (31 percent)
Before we go into actual threat risks versus the perceived risks here, let's look at the breakdown between the different countries. As a caveat, the ISIS statement was not tested in Turkey, the US statement was not tested in America and the Russia statement was not tested in Russia.
The terrorism threat was ranked #1 in 18 countries spread across Europe, the Middle East, Asia, and the United States. In 13 countries, mostly throughout Latin America and Africa, climate change is the #1 threat.
The results throw up some interesting results that suggest that the political climate of a country also affects how seriously it takes climate change as a threat. Canada and Mexico, for example, ranks climate change as the top threat, but – perhaps unsurprisingly – America sees ISIS as being more threatening.
In America, ISIS (74 percent) is ranked above cyber attacks (71 percent), which is then followed by climate change (56 percent). Intriguingly, Spain shows the greatest proportion of people ranking climate change as the top threat (89 percent), whereas just 35 percent of Russians feel the same – the lowest on the list.
Overall, it seems that those on the ideological right are more concerned about terrorism and refugees; those on the left are far more concerned about climate change – something that's observed in other surveys, particularly in the US and Europe.

Hi everyone,
So, I know it's been a while since I've had a post that wasn't a review, so I figured I'd give an update- mostly, because I am super excited!!! But I'll get to that later. First off, the second book in the Arrynna Doe Trilogy (Checkmate) is coming along nicely, I'm working on the third draft now. I'm waiting to get some feedback on a couple of beta reads and once that's done, and I do another read through, it'll be ready to go to an editor (Yay progress!). I've also started preliminary work on the final installment; some rough outlining, some scenes, the important points I need to hit, etc. If all goes well, I'll start that soon. For those who are curious, the working title is *drum-roll please ;)*... Masked.
In the meantime, I'm finishing up on a novella I plan to release this coming November. (And, again, if all goes well, I might just release two). I'll put a blurb for the book up soon so keep an eye on my 'Other Projects' tab.
Now, for the thing I am super excited about: my covers. So, I was talking with the artist who designs my covers Aaron Tichy (no, the last name isn't a coincidence) (and also, check him out here: http://www.atillustration.com).
Anyway, we were talking about the look for the second book in Arrynna's story, and we decided to go a whole new direction. I'll be releasing a new edition of the first book with a whole different cover shortly before the second book is released. I'll also being doing a giveaway for the new cover so stay tuned for the details on that. I loved my first cover, but, for the series a a whole, the direction we've decided on is definitely better and I am ridiculously excited for it and may have done a couple happy dances when no one was looking :). Keep an eye out for a sneak peak of the new cover (both Tangled Web and Checkmate), and a book trailer for Checkmate.
Until next time...

Translating data from seemingly unique cases into a clinical process that triggers an awareness of clinical vulnerabilities is what brings these stories to life. Coupling this with benchmarking data that demonstrates the significance of our vulnerabilities as compared with the rest of the world has made all the difference in engaging our providers in improvement efforts
Partnership for Success.
The Comprehensive Risk Intelligence Service (CRIS) is a full-service, ongoing partnership that uses your clinically coded claims data to inform your patient safety agenda. The service includes deep coding and detailed analysis of your malpractice claims, onsite presentations of findings and recommendations, participation in our national comparative benchmarking database (CBS), events, and invitations to our CME-accredited symposia.
CRIS ensures unique insight into the clinical and systemic issues driving your medical malpractice claims. This actionable intelligence bolsters leadership presentations and strengthens your ability to focus financial and staffing resources on tangible solutions to improve patient safety. Partnership through CRIS provides the essential building blocks for measurably safer care in your organization.
For 40 years, Harvard has used this approach to improve patient safety in high risk areas such as surgery, obstetrics, and—increasingly—cancer diagnosis. For example, in the 1990s, malpractice data analyses revealed an ongoing failure to promptly diagnose breast cancer. More detailed analysis, enabled by the in-depth coding process, guided Harvard's clinical experts in creating a breast cancer screening algorithm targeted at the failures underlying claims. Bi-annual updates to the algorithm are enhanced by contemporary data reviews.

If you chose to spend your Halloween evening with NBC's Constantine, well then you my friend made a wise decision indeed! This hour was chock full of smoke, fire, and explosions, along with zombie miners, vengeful gypsies, and prophetic painters. The spooky series has shown glimmers of its potential, and it's clear that the players are enjoying their roles in this supernatural world. Sure, some questionable storytelling choices and episode editing remain, but I'm surprised by just how much I'm enjoying Constantine so far.
Want to see where the series is headed? Be sure to check out this recent interview with David S. Goyer and Daniel Cerone. Then, hit the jump for our Constantine recap.
Constantine makes a jump from the hustle and bustle of Atlanta to the dirt and depression of a Western Pennsylvania coal-mining town (thanks to a wet drop of blood on their map). The show's premiere demon had some pretty awesome electrical powers, but we get a sneak peek at the abilities of this episode's creature of the week when a miner is flash-fried in his own shower.
While John heads to a Pittsburgh suburb, Chas stays behind because of some past trouble in the area with a succubus and a train derailment. A fair excuse. Chas' absence gives John the chance to meet up with the sketch artist, who draws only Constantine, and who was introduced at the last episode's end. She lifts his license from his pocket just before he disappears in broad daylight in order to chat up with the locals in a pub. He uses his British accent to make a convincing case as a former miner in Liverpool, and discovers that the miners have delved too deep (like greedy dwarves) and "knocked on the door to Hell." Being on a first name basis with the denizens of that unholy realm, John pays them a visit by sneaking into the mine, but a cave-in strongly suggests that he's not welcome.
Apparently he makes it out okay during the commercial break, as we next see him bringing a frozen TV dinner to the dead man's wake (which is a classy move, to be sure). Ever the sneaky sleuth, he snoops around the bathroom scene of the crime and snags some goop from the showerhead. The wife, who's rather obviously covered with coal dust and soot, catches him but doesn't seem too concerned with his interest in her abusive husband's death. She starts to share a story with John about how her husband duped her into marriage, and then hits on him. When he turns down her advances, the crowd turns ugly and a fight breaks out … which John quickly loses (I mean, it's a close-knit group of coal miners, so …). He makes an even bigger scene by telling the crowd and the mining boss that an unnatural event has taken place in the mine, and whatever it is has risen to the surface.
Back at John's hotel room, Zed (Angelica Celaya), the sketch artist, is waiting for him. She has some sort of ability to see into his mind and his past simply through touch alone. While this disturbs John a bit, he seems more intrigued than anything else. He puts her in a trance-like state, and then drops a bit of the coal goo in her hand, whereupon she sees the death of the miner along with his last vision of a tall cross. Ever the trickster, John manages to sneak out of the hotel and heads to an abandoned church. Strange heavy breathing and demonic sounds are coming from behind the covered pews … yeah, it's just a couple of teenagers having sex, so nothing unusual there. After they vacate, John performs some rites of his own, using an incantation and some holy water to give him the ability to see the demon's form.
Zed's following in John's footsteps by slumming at the pub, where the locals are drinking away their sorrows, like that of a deceased son, lost to the mine. The mine is at the heart of the town's troubles, but also the source of their only revenue, and the show plays the real-world struggles of a failing mining town quite well, considering the supernatural elements at work here. Zed finds John where she least expects him: asleep on her couch. He warns her about the dangerous world she's about to step into, but she isn't going anywhere, so they form a tenuous partnership. Right on cue, a siren sounds signaling a mine collapse, one that was preceded by the strange knocking sound. John warns them that these strange events will keep happening and people will keep dying unless they shut down the mine. Before they get a chance to do just that, the truck he's in fills with black, muddy water, and clawed hands drag John and another miner down into it, drowning one (obviously not our title hero).
John drops some mythological knowledge on Zed (and the audience). He believes they're what he calls Coblynau, also known as Knockers. Their best guess is that the former priest who lost his son to the mine is now conjuring these lesser demons in order to punish the other miners. John uses Zed to see through the man's eyes, and she spots a campground by a river. They track the man down, but John's Latin incantations have no effect on him except to act as an icebreaker. He seems to think that the big boss may be behind it, but an underground attack on the boss's life by a zombie miner puts a dent in that particular theory.
John and Zed arrive in the nick of time, and while Zed paints a symbol on the mine wall, John invites the demon to the mine and reminds it that it's supposed to be a protective spirit of the Earth. While Zed is tasked with hauling out the fallen men, John rigs explosions to seal up the mine. Along with the former priest, who's there to get literal closure on the mine, they blow the entrance up. John's not done, however, as he has to shut down the conjurer of the coblynau. Cue the grieving Romani widow who has been summoning the earthen demons, and does so again in order to have them attack Constantine. In a dark twist, John summons the spirit of her dead abusive husband to drag her down into the earth with him, thus banishing the other coblynau as well.
Not sure how I feel about this plot turn since the man was obviously abusive when he was alive, and she summoned these spirits in part to protect herself. This manner of reconciliation feels a bit off the mark. Otherwise, the rest of the episode was quite entertaining, and Matt Ryan continues to make himself at home in Constantine's shoes. I'm enjoying this darker turn so far and I hope that the stories continue to get stronger as it marches on, slowly weaving in the overarching story of the battle for John's soul. And for fans of the Hellblazer comics, Papa Midnite is ready to make his television debut on next week's episode!
Rating: B
Odds & Ends:
- Constantine: "You heard it too, didn't you? The knocking?" Creepy.
- Constantine: "There's a white dove lost in a snowstorm. You need to find it."
- Zed's artwork is absolutely amazing. I wonder who actually did it … (Feel free to send me some, Mysterious Stranger.)
- Constantine: "Bristles up to ward off evil."
- Constantine: "There's nothing blacker than gypsy magic."
- If you wanted Zed and John to hook up already, it looks like you'll have to wait a bit longer.
- Constantine: "There are those who pray for you, and there are those who prey on you. And no matter how careful you are, sometimes you can't tell the difference."

The sky's the limit now that Evan is one year sober
I SOMEHOW MADE IT AN ENTIRE YEAR SOBER, AND FOR THE FIRST TIME IN MY ADULT LIFE I FEEL LIKE THE SKY'S THE LIMIT. I'll never really understand all the how's and why's that I was given a second chance... but I read somewhere that every addict stops drinking and drugging eventually, it's just a matter of whether or not you're still alive for it. I am, thanks to a loving God, family and friends.
I never ever ever ever thought about giving up drugs and alcohol until that night I felt so desperate that I cried out for help, and now I never want to look back. Its not easy every day. No ones life is. But I've realized in this past year, that no matter how long the process may seem, and as hard as it can be at times, as long as I keep doing the next right thing, then I would rather be crawling to my future than running back to my past.
I am SO grateful I got a chance to recover, to make myself whole. To learn that alcohol and drugs were never my problem... alcohol and drugs had been my solution and THAT was the problem. Chemicals can only numb pain for so long, and then I am stuck with problems far worse than when I began. It's like this, chemicals don't work for a spiritual problem. Only me and my God can successfully handle a spiritual problem. Together. And I'm trying to be Spiritual AF.
Life isn't perfect, and I've learned A LOT about choosing patience over instant gratification, but things have gradually started to piece themselves back together. Mentally. Emotionally. Physically. Spiritually. One after another, these blessings keep coming into my life, like little pats on the back as if God is saying, THIS is how you were supposed to do it. It doesn't mean hard times won't come and blessings are around every corner, but that doesn't matter because the greatest reward of sobriety besides getting to live, is getting to live with character and integrity. Getting to be proud of my decisions instead of hide from their consequences and getting to bring the best out in others and not the worst anymore.
I'm not perfect and I'll always make mistakes but at least now I CARE when I do. And I can learn from those mistakes, and make adjustments. I think I could go all day about the different amazing ways that sobriety has changed me and my world, and I want anyone struggling with addiction to know: ITS FUCKING WORTH IT. But instead of listing the many blessings that have come back into my life, I just wanted to mention some things that I got to learn, or re learn, and carry me through each day. Things that may seem obvious to most, but I could never do or believe in active addiction:
This life is a gift. I have sight in my eyes, sound in my ears, and breath in my lungs. Use my blessings to bless others. Every single day look for an opportunity.
Perfect My Character- the rest will come in time
Don't regret something that God may use to save someone else's life. My mess isnow my message.
Forgive myself. Move on. Leave the past where it belongs.
It's not happiness that makes me grateful but gratefulness that makes me happy
Always be Grateful Humble Calm and Loving- and leave each person better for having met or heard you
My addiction affected everyone around me, make sure my recovery does too

FARGO — Police officers responded about noon Friday, April 19, to an apartment complex for a report of a deceased man. He was the same man who prompted a large police response Thursday night after barricading himself in an apartment, according to Fargo police.
At 7:06 p.m. Thursday, police were sent to the Cheyenne Estates apartment complex, 1033 43rd ½ St. S., on reports of a man with a gun who threatened to hurt himself.
Property management had evacuated the apartment complex by the time police arrived. Officers, some carrying long guns and wearing helmets, positioned themselves in the building's parking lot.
Police believed the man was alone in the unit, and there didn't appear to be any danger to the public, police spokeswoman Jessica Schindeldecker said in a Thursday night news conference. Authorities didn't know why the man, whom police had described as armed and suicidal, barricaded himself in the unit.
Police failed to get in touch with the man over several hours and, having exhausted all available options, decided the best course of action was to leave the scene. Shortly after 11 p.m. Thursday, police called off efforts to contact the man.
"As to why we left last night, sometimes it's important to not escalate a situation with a presence or force an encounter for the well being of all involved," Schindeldecker told The Forum, adding that the man's family was comfortable with that decision.
At 12:08 p.m. Friday, police were sent back to the same apartment unit after receiving a report of a deceased man.
"Our condolences go out to his family during this difficult time," police said in a statement. "We ask that you please respect the privacy of his family and friends as they grieve their loss."
Police said the matter is under investigation and that no further information would be released at this time.

Morgan + Nick Bridals
It was amazing getting to be a part of my sister's wedding. She loves light colors and timeless beauty, so we took advantage of the spring blooms in season. Since it was winter, my sister decided to have her bridals in Jessica Peterson's studio. It's a great classic space but we wanted to bring in some other elements with greenery and candles. We kept it simple, and Ciara Richardson did a wonderful job as usual with the photos.
My mom made her beautiful dress! It's incredible, and the silhouette was perfect for my sister.
I've never seen my sister happier than she is with Nick. They compliment each other so perfectly, and I'm so excited to see them share their lives together.

This contribution describes and evaluates a postsecondary remediation program in mathematics, aiming to ease the transition from high school to university and to improve the success rates in the first year of bachelor studies. The remediation program consists of the administration of an entry test and the organisation of voluntary bridging education in the format of an online summer course, using the adaptive e-tutorial ALEKS. Participants are prospective students of the university programs business and economics of Maastricht University, and are mostly students with an international background. Effect analysis suggests a strong treatment effect of successful participation in the summer course. However, given the quasi-experimental setup of this study, with non-equivalent groups, selection effects may be responsible for part of that effect. Correction of the treatment effect by applying the propensity score method indicates that indeed a selection effect is present, but that a substantial treatment effect remains, of about 50% the size of the effect of being educated in advanced math versus basic math, in high school.

Hi everyone! I hope your day is off to a great start. I just had the best yoga class yesterday at Hot Asana and I really want to highlight the studio and tell you all about it. This is especially for my yogis looking for new places to practice.
Hot Asana is located in Durham, at the Streets of Southpoint. The studio is on the second floor so the view from the studio's windows is really great! It is a hot yoga studio owned by Virginia Gallagher. She is an amazing Yoga instructor, and is now opening up her third studio in Danville, Virginia. Her first studio is in Southern Pines and Durham is the middle child.
As soon as I walk into the studio I can feel myself begin to relax. It smells really clean, with a hint of lavender. The soft lighting and happy people really do make it feel welcoming. There is a small boutique with plenty of yoga clothing (it took every ounce of self control not to buy any today), mats, towels, jewelry and yoga accessories (like mat straps and blocks). They also always have a fresh fruit bowl of apples and oranges for anyone who needs a little snack and plenty of water bottles. Trust me, you need one for class!
The instructors are really the best ones I've ever had. They are all incredibly attentive to each person. I hardly ever see them in a single yoga pose themselves. They walk around and make hands on corrections while giving verbal cues the whole time.
This is Keegan. She taught my class today. She is always fabulous! Not only does she teach a great class, she also sings! During the last five minutes of class she sang for us and at first I thought I was listening to a recording. She is a fantastic singer and the acoustics in the room only make her resonance richer. Something else very unique about Hot Asana is the fact that they always have ten minutes of savasana at the end of class. For those not as familiar with yoga, Savasana is "corpse pose" the time when everyone lays on their backs and just focuses on breathing and meditating. During this ten minute savasana at Hot Asana the yoga instructor walks around the room giving each person a cold lavender scented wash cloth and gives a little neck rub to release any of that last tension in the neck area.
For those looking to try it out, the "hot" classes are 108 degrees and the "warm" classes are 95 degrees. They also have aerial yoga! Aerial Yoga you practice with long silk hammock like structures.
There are student discount rates and lots of new client specials! You really must check this studio out. Click here to see their website and class schedule.
During class Keegan spoke about the importance of being open to possibilities and she encouraged us to try something new every day. I have to admit, I am a creature of habit and I like to stick to my usual routine. Especially when it comes to my workout routine. There are so many locally owned fitness studios in the Research Triangle Park area! From the bootcamps, to TRX, yoga and barre this area has so much to offer for those who love to exercise. I really need to break out of my usual routine and try some new classes and challenge myself in different ways. … I think you know where I am going with this… The time is NOW! Why not bounce around the Triangle area and see what the studios are all about? I will always be loyal to my running regimen and Pure Barre passion, but stepping outside of the box every once in a while can't hurt. I am going to try as many of the studios as I can and report back to you guys on what I think of them. Here's to an adventure!
Do you guys have any recommendations of places I should try?
Help me play!

Saint Days: Justin, Teacher of the Faith and Martyr
Justin the Martyr lived from 100 until around 165. He was one of the first non-Apostolic apologists. His writings defended Christians from attacks by pagans. He attempted to use philosophy and ethics to persuade Emperor Antoninus to stop persecuting Christians. He was eventually put on trial for his views and executed.
He viewed Reason and Truth as being ultimately united in Christ (the Logos). He believed humans who followed Reason to its logical end point were, without realizing it, true Christians. He believed philosophers like Socrates, Plato, and Heraclitus were among this group.
Even Christians this early in the history of the Church understood the reality of the Real Presence. Justin stated:
Let us remember the faithful teachings and martyrdom of Justin today in our prayers:
Almighty God, you gave to your servant Justin Martyr special gifts of grace to understand and teach the truth as it is in Christ Jesus: Grant that by this teaching we may know you, the one true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent; who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

"How My Addiction Came to Be" by Debbie
My addiction came to be when I started liking wine and mixed drinks. I didn't really think I had a drinking problem until I started drinking too much. I started going to the bars and buying wine coolers and beer and all kinds of drinks. Sometimes I think I did it to have a good time, but in the end I wasn't really having a good time, and I made myself miserable. Sometimes I think I drank to escape reality but in the end it was just plain depressing and debilitating. I just wasn't having any fun anymore. It was getting more and more out of hand.

Pumpkin Cupcakes
In celebration of the fall weather, although honestly we don't really get in until November in California, I decided to make some pumpkin cupcakes! This is the first time I've tried a basic swirl frosting without any frills or fancy edges. Improvements can definitely be made, but it was still fun to try!
These pumpkin bread cupcakes are the same recipe I used when making pumpkin bread here.
What You'll Need
- 1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin puree
- 4 eggs
- 1 cup vegetable oil
- 2/3 cup water
- 3 cups white sugar
- 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1 (8 oz) cream cheese frosting, softened
- ½ cup butter, softened
- 4 cups powdered sugar
- ¼ cup canned pumpkin
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
Oven Temp: 350 degrees
Cooking Time: 20-22 minutes
For making the cupcakes I list out the steps here and then you'd just pour the batter into cupcake tins and cook for 20-22 minutes.
The cupcake base was a little bit thicker than a normal cupcake, so having a lighter cupcake frosting paired really well.
Added a little extra cinnamon to the top. Partly for taste, mostly to try and make it look fancy. :P

The second half of 2018 is gearing up to be a powerhouse. We've got AAA releases coming left and right, so let's not miss a beat and get right into the 10 best games coming in the second half of 2018.
Spyro Reignited Trilogy (September 21) (PS4, Xbox One)
The Insomniac Games creation is emerging after a long hiatus. The Developers at Toys for Bob have worked from the ground-up to bring Spyro in all its HD glory to the current generation of consoles. If you're a fan of the original or nostalgia or both, look out for this game this fall.
Warhammer 40k: Inquisitor-Martyr (July 5) (PS4, Xbox One)
Even though we are a few days past its release, Warhammer games are always a treat. Inquisitor-Martyr places you into the role of a Space Marine aboard the Martyr, a massive ship floating in space. With near top-down gameplay, it is very reminiscent of Diablo and early Warcraft titles.
We Happy Few (August 10) (PS4, Xbox One, PC)
We Happy Few is a very intriguing concept for a year dominated by Battle Royale. It's a single-player survival experience set in a dystopian town where the populous is sedated by the upper-class. Flying under the radar as an early-access game on Steam, We Happy Few will be released in less than a month, so make sure to pre-order your copy.
Divinity: Original Sin 2 (August 31) (PS4, Xbox One)
Divinity: Original Sin II is not your typical action-adventure game. The concept errs towards high fantasy and plays much similar to Inquisitor-Martyr and Diablo. The graphics are stellar and, even though the learning curve can be steep, it's worth giving this sleeper a chance.
Spider-Man (September 7) (PS4)
A lot of hype has been surrounding Insomniac Games' Spider-Man reboot. Most recently, a gameplay trailer was released which revealed the villains set to challenge Spider-Man at every corner. Spider-Man will boast a slew of new abilities and be able to interact with his environment in surprisingly unique ways. This is definitely a game to purchase if you're a fan of the MCU.
Assassins Creed: Odyssey (October 5) (PS4, Xbox One, PC)
Riding the success of Assassins Creed: Origins, Ubisoft Quebec has been hard at work on yet another chapter in the series, this time taking their stories to the land of Ancient Greece. In Sparta, you have the option to take control of either a Male or Female character during the Peloponnesian war and fight to become the most notorious mercenary in all of Greece.
Red Dead Redemption 2 (October 26) (PS4, Xbox One)
One of, if not, the most anticipated game of the year. Rockstar consistently releases quality titles and Red Dead Redemption is no exception. Set as a prequel to the first game, you take control of Arthur Morgan, an outlaw involved with the Van der Linde gang, and fight for survival against whatever the Wild West throws at you.
Overkill's The Walking Dead (November 6) (PS4, Xbox One, PC)
Overkill's new product is a Left for Dead-style game set in the comic book universe created Robert Kirman. The most recent title about the Comic was created by Telltale Games, so Overkill has some large shoes to fill. The game itself looks to be more survival oriented than run and gun, so be on the lookout for heart-racing gameplay and terrific graphics.
Fallout 76 (November 16) (PS4, Xbox One, PC)
As we approach the end of the year, Bethesda is blessing the gaming community with another addition to the Fallout series. Fallout 4 was a triumph in more ways than one, but it also lacked in a few departments, mainly quest diversity. Fallout 76 looks to fix those issues and bring the community closer together by creating servers for players to enter with up to 24 to 32 other players. Bethesda claims the map is four times the size of Fallout 4, so you might be hard-pressed to find another player.
Just Cause 4 (December 4) (PS4, Xbox One, PC)
More destruction. Better physics. Extreme weather conditions. A release date near Christmas. What more can you ask for from a Just Cause entry? Avalanche and Square Enix are in South American once again, following Rico Rodriquez on his quest to rid the world of oppressive regimes. The physics engine has been taken to the limit with tornados uprooting bridges and sandstorms pushing helicopters off the tarmac. Just Cause games are designed to be adrenaline-filled fun and a new entry into the series is very welcome.

Hozelock Bokashi Indoor Kitchen Composter Bran 1kg (4194)
- Available for delivery anywhere in the mainland UK.
- Order for collection at Bagshot, Bybrook Barn or Shepperton.

Product Details
These microorganisms (in Bokashi bran) accelerate the decomposition process of the waste by encouraging the dehydration of the material. Through this anaerobic method the waste does not rot or emit foul odours.
This process makes it possible to retain all the important nutrients which afterwards can be useful for your plants.
As a result you will obtain both a compost (the digestate) and a liquid fertiliser that are rich in nutrients for your plants.
