The new leader of Planned Parenthood in the state knows both serious policy and the tough realities of family farming.
Tanya Atkinson was promoted to CEO of Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin in February, at a precarious time for the organization that provides reproductive health services ranging from STD and cancer screening to birth control and, at certain locations, abortion. Challenges include an effort to "defund" the organization, backed by House Speaker Paul Ryan, which means barring government-funded insurance programs such as Medicaid from reimbursing patients who use Planned Parenthood clinics, of which there are 21 in the state, serving about 60,000 men and women each year. Amid such strife, it helps to have a sense of humor, which happens to be part of Atkinson's skill set.
How did you get here?
When I was younger, I grew up on a dairy farm, and there were times when health care was a real challenge. I remember seeing my parents sitting with their heads in their hands, wondering how they were going to manage medical bills. I really connected with this organization that tries so hard to provide health care to those families who might be struggling financially.
What are your thoughts on the global gag rule banning U.S. funded international organizations from talking about abortion?
That harms women across the entire globe. Under this administration, there's a lot at risk. Women's health is at risk. Men's health is at risk, and it's not just a Planned Parenthood issue.
You have threats to your funding from congress and the president, and political challenges at the state level. Do you foresee a day when you could be legislated out of existence?
Planned Parenthood is going to be here to provide health care no matter what. Politicians who oppose women's health care would like you to believe they're hurting Planned Parenthood, but what they're really doing is hurting women and families. We've had to close five health centers in Wisconsin due to legislation that blocked funding, and no other provider has stepped in to provide this basic care.
How do you deal with the "sidewalk counselors" and protesters with big signs?
"Sidewalk counselors" is a very generous term. The folks that are standing outside of our health centers intimidate our patients, harass our patients, shame our patients, and there is no other form of health care where we have to walk through that kind of shaming and harassment to access very, very basic health care, very common health care.
You're a comedian?
I am, but I don't do it as often as I used to. I used to be pretty full time on the road. I loved the small places up north. They were amazing because the people were so welcoming. They also were very good about giving constructive feedback in the moment. That joke doesn't fly, lady.
Does your previous profession figure into what you do now?
It does. I'm pretty good at reading a room and sensing when things are going south. Then I can use a joke to break up a boring meeting. ◆

Matthew Stevens put on a real show for Lincolnshire's Skegness crowd - as he kicked off the new Premier League campaign with a bang.
The Welshman has retained his popular status within the sport despite a dip down the rankings in recent years.
And it's easy to see why after a shining display in front of the Sky cameras.
Winning qualification for this season's tournament through the gruelling Championship League, tonight he proved he still belongs with the big boys. A 3-0 semi-final win against Neil Robertson saw him gather momentum before he followed it up with another whitewash against John Higgins in the final.
Six frames without reply means he's off to a flying start, where his performance was as impressive as his flawless results.
While some players tend to fluster under the shot-clock format, Stevens seems to blossom under it.
He played by his instincts and in turn produced the kind of polished and assured performance that could see him go a long way in this tournament and mount a serious championship charge.
Stevens has always been a cool customer. He showed that asset in abundance again tonight, taking advantage of two players who will admit finding the format difficult. Never afraid to take on bold pots, Matthew was swift in his shot selection and need never look back.
A lot of the build-up to tonight's action revolved around changes to the competition this season, but with no matches going the distance, the Shoot-Out style deciding frame didn't come into play.
A 20-second shot clock instead of 25 kept the play punchy, and as imagined, the knockout style gave punters real value for money.
There can be no quibbles about whether Stevens was a deserved winner tonight, as he was streets ahead of his rivals. With only four nights to play each, opening whitewash defeats mean Jimmy White and Robertson are automatically under pressure.
For Stevens, he can enjoy the moment. It's great to see such a terrific talent in a rich vein of form.
The Premier League is back.

There's a simple reason for the recurring pop-culture theme about being the last kid chosen for the sports team, or fearing dodgeball, or being called a cruel nickname: nearly everyone feels the weight of being an outcast, usually by the ninth grade.
Yes, some carry that weight much longer than others, and often for reasons beyond their control. But some outcasts speak with such frequency about being outcasts that it appears to become central to their identity and actions. That brings us to "The Rise of Progressive Occultism," a deeply researched longform report by Tara Isabella Burton in The American Interest.
You may remember that some witches joined in a collective hex against Brett Kavanagh, associate justice of the U.S. Supreme Court, when he was but a nominee. You win some and you lose some.
The most serious practitioners of the dark arts are not mere political dilettantes, but people who believe a counter-narrative to Christianity (which they consider patriarchal) and who call on their ancient spiritual forces for supernatural assistance. This being the age of Donald Trump, well of course the 45th president serves as the bête noire (or bête blanc, if you prefer) in all of this:
In one Brooklyn zine, author and non-binary witch Dakota Bracciale — co-owner of Catland Books, the occult store behind the Kavanaugh hexing — celebrates the potential of traditional "dark magic" and outright devil-worship as a levying force for social justice.
"There have been too many self-elected spokespersons for all of witchcraft," Bracciale writes, "seeking to pander to the masses and desperately conform to larger mainstream religious tenets in order to curry legitimacy. Witchcraft has largely, if not exclusively, been a tool of resilience and resistance to oppressive power structures, not a plaything for bored, affluent fools. So if one must ride into battle under the banner of the Devil himself to do so then I say so be it. The reality is that you can be a witch and worship the devil and have sex with demons and cavort through the night stealing children and burning churches. One should really have goals."
As with the denizens of The Satanic Temple, Bracciale uses the imagery of Satanism as a direct attack on what he perceives as Christian hegemony. So too Jex Blackmore, a self-proclaimed Satanic feminist (and former national spokesperson for the Satanic Temple) who appeared in the Hail Satan? documentary performing a Satanic ritual involving half-naked worshippers and pigs' heads on spikes, announcing: "We are going to disrupt, distort, destroy. … We are going to storm press conferences, kidnap an executive, release snakes in the governor's mansion, execute the president."
Thank you for the heads up.

I got this book a month or so ago. I was hoping it would help me with my aggressive creative block. Writing prompts help so much to get things moving in my mind. I got a drawing version as well and I plan on doing something similar with that one.
I'm going to do a prompt from this book and post that entry on here every Wednesday. It'll be great! /sarcasm
I'm hoping this will help get me used to writing again since I haven't really dedicated time to it in a long time. So, that being said, here is the first prompt:
What can happen in a second?
It only takes a second for me to lose any and all inspiration. I began writing something more personal for this prompt but in a second I felt too much and backed down. I'm not ready yet to let out my really personal stuff yet. I still feel more comfortable avoiding those feelings than letting them out. When I'm really struggling and I'm alone with my partner, I feel free to express all the pain I'm holding onto, but even that is a huge step for me. It took a long time for me to feel safe enough to let out my feelings to my partner, he had to really work with me and prove that he wouldn't hurt me by acting like my feelings and problems weren't important. That was a big problem I've had in past relationships, my partners blowing me off or trying to convince me that my problems weren't bad enough to be concerning. I'm so lucky to have found someone that takes my dreams and my insecurities, and anything else that I struggle with, very seriously.
I have to admit, even writing that was emotional for me. I feel a little worn out.

Having swollen feet can be really problematic. You can't stand for long, walk properly and of course can't flaunt your fancy footwear. Certain work conditions demand standing for long hours. This may result in foot swelling. While you can't stop working just because you need to stand continuously, but if the problem persists for long then this may signal towards other complications. Often people have this tendency to ignore foot conditions, thinking that these would heal naturally. The fact is that your feet actually act as indicator for other serious health problems. Hence don't ignore foot pain or swelling. Causes of sudden foot swelling are many, few of which are discussed here.
Pregnancy is bliss but the would-be-mom has to endure several irritating health complications, feet swelling being one of them. However if the problem continues and takes serious shape then this may be a sign of over-pronation and edema. Sudden rise in high blood pressure level and protein in urine may trigger this problem along with some other complications like abdominal pain, headache, etc. Few precautionary measures, like using proper footwear or keeping your feet in an elevated position if sitting for long can reduce swelling to great extent. Foot or ankle injury, especially an ankle sprain can lead to inflammation. Best way to reduce the swelling effect is avoid putting much stress on the injured part. Doctors often prescribe compression bandage or ice packs for sprains and swellings. Foot infections can take serious shape, mainly for diabetic patients or those with nerve problems. This may result in sudden swelling of feet and ankles. Hence those suffering from diabetic neuropathy need to consult a podiatrist from time to time, whenever they notice any abnormality in their feet.
If you ever experience swelling of one leg, along with low-grade fever as well as change in color of the affected leg then this in all probability is because of blood clot. While superficial clots occurring just beneath the skin may not be that serious but the deeper ones can prove to be life-threatening. These can block major veins of your leg thus affecting heart or lungs. Venous insufficiency is another condition which can cause feet and ankle swelling. Damaged valves fail to carry blood from feet and legs up to the heart which results in blood leaking back down and getting deposited in softer tissues of your ankles and feet.
Certain medications have side effects. Those who have to take regular medicine for high blood pressure, depression or diabetes are prone to foot inflammation. Again drugs related to hormone replacement therapy may also lead to ankle or foot swelling. It is not possible for a common man to know about such side effects. However, if certain foot conditions develop within few days of starting the new medicine then prompt action is advised.
Don't just consult any general physician for foot problems. Get the guidance of an expert podiatric physician who is the right person to understand the gravity of the situation. Remember that your foot is one significant body part whose erratic functioning can come in the way of healthy living.

By Bob Eubanks
Well John and Joyce spent Christmas under the Detroit Street bridge. I walked to John's 'stick'. The homeless substitute the word stick for home. I said, "Hi, Joyce" and John shouted, "Hi there" as I crawled through the hole in the fence and walked up the slope to where I saw a mattress surrounded by garbage and rubbish.
John and Joyce tell me Christmas is depressing. They say people would pull up in cars and vans and say "Hi, Merry Christmas" and hand them bags of groceries, cooked dinners (usually cold) and shopping bags full of clothes. Joyce says none of the clothes fit. The only thing that fits out of about fifty pieces of apparel was a red knit skull hat she was wearing.
We went to the corner where people were passing out Christmas lunch and we got one for each of us. A little brown paper sack, like you took to school when you were a kid. There were two hot dogs, ketchup and mustard packets and other good stuff. Joyce reached somewhere underneath the mattress they lived on. Everything they needed could be reached from there. They were Christians. "We've got two toothbrushes." Both John and Joyce's teeth are rotting and they say they will never use them. They offer me the two new brushes, "After all," they say, "You've got teeth." We share a laugh.
Then they continue their inventory. I got a little plastic razor, it would take about thirty of these to get rid of this beard. Joyce pulls out a really fancy bar of soap, the kind they have at hotels. She says she likes the way it smells. A little later, John describes his philosophy about life. You are born, you live and you die. And I'm just putting in my time. That's what you do between being born and dying, he explained. "It's all meaningless to me. Who cares?" Joyce speaks of loneliness.
One night Joyce wakes John and he says "what are you waking me for?" She looks me straight in the eye. She was upset "I'm lonely, will you talk to me?" So I looked at her and said "all right let's have fun it's Christmas, I'll talk to you." So we talked about how much fun people were having in their cars, trucks and vans hurrying to and fro probably in a hurry to make it home this Christmas day. Joyce and I can taste the depression and despair in our throats. Oh well, tomorrow is another day.

If you are thinking of booking a Tarot reading with Francine then I urge you to do so immediately!
Her professionalism, positivity, and warm nature are sure to take any nerves you might have out of the experience.
She is frequently scarily accurate and has been quickly able to see intimate details of my life through her cards. She offers reassurance and guidance where necessary. I truly believe she is honest, if she doesn't get much from a specific card at first, she is honest about this and moves on, returning to it later.
She has accurately predicted events in my future to do with my family life and career, and even predicted a future relationship. This prediction was so accurate and in such detail, that when I first met this person it was in the exact situation she had described, and he was wearing the exact outfit she had described.
I have recommended her to friends who have also received accurate comments on their lives and predictions for their futures, which have quickly come true.
Overall, she is a fantastic Tarot Card Reader and Psychic.
Francine was a great Tarot card reader and immediately made me feel comfortable and relaxed about my first ever reading. She was very thorough and explored every card and all the possibilities they were showing her.
Her readings have been very accurate: within the first few days of our session, two of the things she predicted had happened regarding my boyfriend and a pet.
Her character descriptions of family and friends were spot on - she's a very perceptive reader. The accuracy of what she saw about my house, a current and previous relationship, and a family member's illness were all correct.
She also held my jewellery and I received a reading from this too. Francine described a man whom I immediately recognised as my Grandad: the way he dressed, his mannerisms and his love of animals.
Francine also said a message from him to my Nan, who is still living was that he still held 'a deep love' for her, my Nan said that's how they used to describe their marriage and what's written on his gravestone.
She also reassured us that my Nan will feel his presence regularly: my Nan has always said she can tell when he enters the room, and that he follows her each time she moves house.
I'm so pleased and I totally recommend Francine for the overall experience of the reading.
I was extremely amazed by Fran's reading, she managed to read certain personal aspects in my life. It is unbelievable how much depth and detail she knew about me and I will definitely take her advice on board. She managed to read right through me and I was surprised by the accuracy of her reading. She managed to know the most recent events in my life. I would most certainly recommend Fran, she is phenomenal!
I was sceptical at first as I have never had a tarot reading but Francine picked up on so much of what was going on in my life and what would happen I couldn't believe it, I would definitely go to her again.
Abi J, Phone Reading
Wow! Fran is a truly gifted tarot reader!
I had a half an hour phone reading with her last night and was amazed from start to finish.
Fran picked up on every topic I wanted to discuss without me saying a word, and was able to provide clarity and even guidance on my current situations! I was almost speechless at certain points due to her accuracy! It was fantastic!
She has given me confidence and positivity to move forward with my life and alter certain situations for the better. I now feel very optimistic about my future.
She is also a lovely lady and has a great sense of humour.
I will certainly be booking to have another reading with her again except I will go and see her in person for an hour next time and I look very forward to meeting her!
Definitely contact Fran if you would like an incredible tarot reading!
Initially Fran read the tarot cards for me, whereby many of the aspects from my life have since amazingly come true. Then she mentioned that she also reads from jewelry whereby she gains more psychic insights.
Fran used my bracelet which is very personal to me, and among many things she she told me she saw "a guy next to a lake."
There was a guy who I fancied at that time, who was actually on holiday more likely by the sea.
Next day, he sent me photos from his holiday and to my amazement one picture was of him by a lake! I did not expect it at all! She was also very accurate in many other things in my current life circumstances.
I also witnessed her reading from a ring of a friend. We were all amazed by how she described exactly what was currently going on in her life. She told her about her new job and the relationship she had with her new boss and described her personality and looks to a T!
I definitely recommend Fran, if you require an amazingly accurate reading and to find out what the future holds!

Random Haul
Ciao a tutti! Hope you've all been well. It's the beginning of my second week at University and I can already tell that this year is going to be quite intense.

Where did our summer go? Oh wait we didn't have one :(
Okay, so considering that I haven't done a fashion related post in ages I thought I'd do a haul showing some of my most recent purchases.

I've got so much stuff in my room that it's become an actual joke. These cute little boxes will definitely come in hand for storing stuff such as accessories.
River Island, socks - £4/Barry M set of 3 - £8

Tough Job Market: How to Know That You Could Be Fired by Your Employer
Fear of losing the job is genuine
For the last few months, every second person (in employment) I met – whether in office or socially asked me about the job market, employment scenario etc. The main question behind these questions is "Am I going to be fired", "How safe is my Job" or "If I am fired, how soon I can find a new Job".
Naturally, losing job is a very painful event in one's life. It may have far reaching implications, aspecting almost every facet of life such as Self Respect, Image in Society, Family Life, Family Budget and if the unemployment period prolongs it could invade very sensitive areas such as House Mortgage, Car EMIs, Holidays and even Children's Education. Nobody wants to be in such a scary situation. As the saying goes, "forewarned is forearmed", so from my experience, I share some tell tale sign of a possible loss of job.
Also I would like to put them under different headings which are main influencers on the job stability of any individual:
About the Author
Sundeep Kataria is the founder CEO of a Management Consulting Firm, which was established in 1991 in New Delhi. He professionally started the trend of CV writing in India. Till now he has helped hundreds of professionals in their career advancement with his expert services like CV Writing,Interview Coaching, Career Counseling and Executive Coaching.
His services are sought by professionals from all the fields and from fresher to top management level.
The contents of this hub are straight from his years of professional experience.
1. Economic Factors
The situations like sliding economy, sagging rate of growth and development, widening fiscal deficit, slow or negative rate of Gross Domestic Production (GDP), weakening of country's currency are some of the early signs that something is not right with the job market.
However, before hitting the panic button, please see if it is cyclical or is it a knee jerk reaction to some specific Geo – Political – Socio – Economic even such as fear of a war, political instability etc.
If your analysis tells you that the recession is here to stay then you need to be concerned. Therefore, read on.
2. Industry Specific Scenario
The next level of indicators comes from the industry where you are employed. For example, if you work for a passenger car dealership, then you should thoroughly study the sales graph of the last few months of the passenger cars as well as the automobile industry.
To have a better picture, do study the demand forecasts by chamber of commerce or automobile manufacturers' association.
3. Employer Organization's Downfall
The wearer knows where the shoe pinches. Irrespective of the above two external factors impacting or not, your organization may be in bad shape due to some other reasons also.
The specific signs to take note of could be:
- The business of your company is getting technologically obsolete (such as floppy drives).
- Austerity measures being introduced
- Major drives to cut down expenses
- Salary cuts
- Sales of assets by the company to raise cash
- Recruitment freeze
- Downsizing
- Delay in payments to vendors (too much)
- Appointment of special consultants or CEO/COO who have a reputation of being hired during tough / bad times
4. Your Department
Let us assume that you are a part of large team in the Accounts Department which is responsible for salaries and wages of its employees. You have got news that it is now going to be outsourced very soon. Also you know that your employer does not have a work load which is matching with your skills and experience.
Definitely it is a time to act fast - as not all of your team members would stand a chance to get absorbed suitably within the company.
Obviously some will have to go!
5. Your Performance Related
For whatever reasons, you have begun to have an uneasy feeling in the office. Your boss is very indifferent now; he does not want to discuss or review your performance; your colleague avoid any specific or relevant discussion; on the lunch table your usual friends are missing - these or similar situations are a hint that everyone (except you) knows that you may be asked to leave
To Sum Up
If you are constantly living with sword of anxiety and uncertainty having over your head, then it need not be any more. Based on above tips, make a check list of a few points and carry out an unbiased reality check. If more than 60% of your finding points towards a possible loss of job then don't grapple with fear.
It is time to get on your feet and take solid action.

Marvel and Disney hope to reach a broader audience with products tied to Avengers: Age of Ultron, which means more items that appeal to women and fans of individual superheroes.
"For the first film, we primarily focused on the Avengers property and the group shots," Paul Gitter, Disney Consumer Products' senior vice president of Marvel licensing, tells Variety. "Now we're broadening the line and scope to create SKUs that focus on the team and the individuals characters, as well."
Related: Would You Like Syrup on Your Avengers-Themed Waffles?
That translates into six to eight different products in each category based around each character, rather than focused on the entire team or just the hot sellers like Captain America and Iron Man.
Avengers products -- from action figures to apparel -- already generate $1 billion in retail sales worldwide, and Disney is looking to expand beyond the usual suspects (Funko, LEGO, Hasbro, etc.) with food and packaged-goods deals agreements with the likes of Sage Fruit, Conagra granola bars, Crunchpak and Chobani.
Variety notes that the focus reaches beyond the Avengers, of course, to include Spider-Man (his own $1 billion consumer-product empire), Captain America: Civil War, and the upcoming Netflix series like Daredevil and AKA Jessica Jones -- although the latter will be targeted toward teens and adults.
"The merchandise that's being developed around the Netflix content is somewhat limited in scope," Gitter says. "We'll be focusing less on products that are targeted at the very young consumer."

Friday, June 21, 2019 to Sunday, June 23, 2019 you all will have the opportunity to get away, reconnect and enjoy the best weekend! Recently a group of influencers and our friends/partners were invited to try out the new programming to give our feedback, but most importantly escape and enjoy! Jon and I had the best time and wish it was a day longer so we are so jealous of everyone booking for this June! You can find all the information on the upcoming retreat here, but you can read about our 24 incredible hours below!
When we arrived we were greeted in our room with bee products grown by the chef at urban farmer and a book of our schedule for the next 24 hours! I added a little rundown for you all here:
First up was our life coach session! Sylvaine Hughson was so warm and created a wonderful environment. It was a great time for self reflection and I am so glad I had the chance to sit down and think through where I am at and where I want to go. After her session it was the perfect time for a massage & Jon to experience his first one! The Oxford club and spa is STUNNING! It was such a hidden gem to me.
Dinner was so fresh and yummy - Urban Farmer never disappoints! The chef was wonderful and each course was done to perfection. Seriously by the time it was over I was in the biggest food coma! I was so ready for yoga in the AM back at the Oxford Club and another delicious breakfast!
It was so hard to leave in the morning! Thank you to The Oxford Hotel, Sylvaine Hughson, The Urban Farmer and The Oxford Club and Spa for completely spoiling Jon and I!

Illustration from "SLEIGHTS: A Number of Incidental Effects, Tricks, Sleights, Moves, and Passes (1914)"; by Burling Hull; given to me by Dad's friend, Levi Lashua (Auctioneer, Table Tennis Hustler, and Parlor Magician Extraordinaire) in 1947 on my 10th birthday
I am not a gambler.
Well, I suppose everything you do in life is some kind of a gamble. I'm not a gambler in the sense of Off Track Betting, or even frequently purchased lottery tickets. In fact, a statistician once told me that your chances of winning the top prize in a national lottery is about the same, in a practical sense, whether or not you buy a ticket. You lose the distinction in the rounding off of the odds. Of course, without the ticket you have no chance at all, microscopic though such a chance might be, but – when it comes to the lottery, you're not buying a ticket anyway, you're buying a dream.
Over the years, I have known a few heavy bettors, but never anyone who made real money over the long run. There are too many skilled gamblers out there, and the odds are against you.
A while back, I ran corporate events and recognition programs all over the world, including resorts throughout Las Vegas, Reno, the Caribbean, and on cruise ships – all of which feature casinos. They are a magnet for the high energy,competitive, aggressive types who seek thrills and endorphin highs at every opportunity (especially with a few drinks under their belts). Meeting Managers always kept a special eye on these guys to try and make sure they didn't go off the deep end. It didn't work all the time, and a few Happy Campers on a sponsored vacation trip, ended up going home sadder, poorer, but hopefully wiser. In general, casinos are not desirable destinations for corporate recognition programs.
People in jobs like mine, Meeting Managers, rarely gambled. They were not heavy drinkers, or heavy anything-else either. One colleague, a senior Meeting Manager from IBM I met on the road, and I talked about that one night over dinner. I shared my insight and he said, "Absolutely. Look around at the Meeting Managers you meet out here: There aren't many old men in our business. If you want the fast life, don't take this job. You'll kill your fool self, burn out, or get fired within a year."
I smiled at the memory of the old nuns in parochial school back in the Forties gravely warning us about "Occasions of Sin." I guess a casino might qualify.
I learned a few new things about casinos too. They will attract business using every tactic, and trick, in the book. For example, resort casinos are designed and built so that you cannot get from the lobby to your room without walking through the casino, or at least walking past the casino. You can't go in or out without hearing the laughter, the music, the clank of coins hitting the winner's tray, seeing the dancing colored lights – everything that appeals to the senses. Why are slot machines so noisy when they dispense coins into the winner's tray? That noise is designed in, and it's special. It cries "Winners Over Here!" And the would-be winners come. Once, in Las Vegas, I saw a big bus pull in one morning loaded with area senior citizens. Their luxury bus ride was free, as was a nice lunch at the casino, and then they had 4 hours to lose their money. The buses arrived every morning.
A few of the elderly women carried white, canvas work gloves. "Why is that?" I asked.
"Because," the floor manager said, "they don't want to develop calluses from pulling down the slot machine handle several times each minute."
I worked for, and hung around, with Texans on the road for a while. I always found Texans and Germans to be the most raucous partiers. They were both loud, funny, story tellers who, after hours, enjoyed a drink with friends, telling, and listening to, each other's tales. And – you better have something new, because they had heard them all.
Like the other successful people I met, they knew their own limits and paced themselves accordingly. One night a bunch of Texans got going on the subject of gambling and "Pappy's advice."
One guy said he was told: "If you ever find yourself at a bar, sitting next to a slick looking dude with a deck of cards, who wants to bet you 20 bucks that he can make the Jack of Hearts jump out of that deck and spit cider into your ear, don't take the bet! You'll just be out 20 bucks and have an earful of cider."
Another guy said, "Just look at these casinos. They're like some temples the ancient Romans built. These casinos are palaces, and people don't built palaces to commemorate their losses."
Another told the story of the Texas gambler who: "…..came to Las Vegas in a $50,000 Cadillac El Dorado, and went home in a $250,000 Greyhound Bus."
And finally, my favorite, the story about two Texans who ended up in a small border down that allowed no gambling whatsoever. They had to find a game, and eventually the bartender steered them to a private room in back where betting games of every sort were available. The two split up and when they got back together an hour later, one of them said: "Every game in this room is fixed."
His friend replied, "Shhh! If they hear you say that, they won't let us play!"
And, people take their gambling seriously. One night in Las Vegas, a group of high stakes poker players invited me to swing by their suite after a late night event for a nightcap. I agreed, and showed up after the game for a drink and a visit. Everybody was talking and laughing, and I picked up the deck of cards that was on the table and, unobtrusively "rigged it." I had learned a magic trick from an old book (see illustration) whereby you can quickly and quietly stack a deck of cards so that you know all the cards, rank and suit, in order. You can even let someone cut the deck, and you can still pick up the "read" within a card or two. It's an easily learned memory trick.
I quietly stacked the deck and, during a conversational lull, conspicuously put the deck on the table. I felt the back of the top card as though was searching for something. I said "Six." I flipped the card over. It was a "Six." Then I said, "Jack, Eight, King, Three." I flipped those 4 cards face up: They were "Jack, Eight, King, Three."
The room grew quiet. I looked up and everybody was gathered around, looking very serious indeed, and watching my performance. I knew it had been a high stakes game, and one of the guys, sensing my unasked question, said: "That's the deck we've been playing with."
Another guy, the host, became visibly upset: "Guys," he said, "the casino sent that deck up with the refreshments. I don't know anything else about it."
I saw where this was going. I said, "It's a trick! I stacked the deck while you all were talking!"
There was a pause. "You stacked the deck while we were all around you?"
"Yes," I said, "It's a magic trick, and you weren't paying attention because your focus was elsewhere." I then broke the Magician's Code and showed them how the trick was accomplished.
And I had to show them again, and again, and yet again until they could all do it themselves. Then, everything was calm and fine, and I had learned another rule about gambling that the Texas boys' great grandfathers had probably learned a century or more before in the Old West:
First Great Rule of Gambling: Gambling, Magic Tricks,and/or Sleight of Hand, never go together.

WSBA President
What Are Your Personal
"Legal" Resolutions for the
New Year?
It's February. Never too late to make a New Year's reso- lution! Better to make them today than to wait even fur- ther into the New Year. While
you may have made a few personal
resolutions on New Year's Day that
you've already broken, consider
adopting a few "legal" resolutions
for your law practice and your profession. After all, it is never too late
to resolve to do better or to do more
for others!
Need some ideas? Here are a
few for your consideration.
Whether at the local, state, or federal bar levels, your work on behalf
of our profession can only increase
the respect your clients and the public
have for the justice system. We all lead
by example. When we give our time, we
do so with the message that it is important to our system of justice. If people
respect you, they'll most likely respect
the justice institutions in which you are
The opportunities for servicethrough the WSBA are huge. The Barhas 31 different committees, boards,and panels, and 28 different sections,each that need your talents. Take a lookat www.wsba.org/legal-community/committees-boards-and-other-groups,and apply by March 13, 2016. An-nouncements for vacant positions onvarious boards and panels are postedthroughout the year. You and I are theWSBA. Let's each make sure it is thebest it can be.
Whether it is through the WSBA,
your county bar association, independent legal organizations, or one of the
minority bar associations (MBAs), the
opportunities abound. You can help
make a difference.
We know that the need is huge. Andagain, the opportunities to give of our-selves in the aid of others are numer-ous. The 2015 Civil Legal Needs UpdateStudy tells us that the number of citi-zens in need of legal representation whocannot afford an attorney continues togrow. In 2003 when the first study wasconducted, the average unrepresentedperson unable to pay for counsel had ap-proximately two to three legal problemsa year. That figure is increasing. Today,the 2015 Study says that the average isas much as nine problems a year. Everytime someone goes unrepresented, theirrespect for the legal system diminishes.In addition, take a look at the WSBAModerate Means and Call to Dutyprograms which help others whomay have more income, but stillcannot afford counsel when needed.Can the attorneys licensed inthis state eliminate this problemwith the time they are able to give?Probably not. However, each ofus can give a reasonable amountof time for those in need and thepublic that our profession serves.Call your local volunteer lawyersprogram. Volunteer to help with alegal clinic or to help an individualin need.
When I started practicing law 35 yearsago, I quickly learned that law schoolteaches you a lot about the law, abouthow to think and analyze legal issuesand problems like a lawyer, but notmuch about how to practice law andnot much about the day-to-day skillsthat can make your practice effective.Law school education and clinical skillbuilding have changed greatly overthe years to improve on this, but weall know, and the schools would all ac-knowledge, that the law school environ-ment can't do it all. © I STOCKPHOTO.COM/HANIERIANI

Bulls Ride to Support Campbell's Podium Effort at Boulevard Cup/
The Godfather, Rick Pysher, brought the Raging Bulls on a Sunday Morning ride in November to cheer on Doug Campbell at Stump Park in Shawnee for the Boulevard Cup. Doug ended up 2nd in the masters 50+ division--losing only to the 2015 national champion who made a rare local appearance. Doug said, "It was great to have the bull's support on a very tough course! So far this season I've been on the podium for most of the local races--including five second places--but still looking for a win."
According to Doug, another highlight was Jingle Cross in Iowa City in September. It was moved from November to September in order to host one of two World Cup races in the US this year. Amateurs watched the world's top pros race on Saturday, then got a chance to race on the same course on Sunday. Doug said, "The course featured a 60 meter, 40% grade run-up and a sphincter-tightening off-camber descent nicknamed 'the luge run'!" Doug finished 9th in his age group.

Search Ma-Ka-Ja-Wan Scout Reservation
High Adventure
Coureur Des Bois
The Coureur des Bois Program provides Scouts with an introduction to the MSR High Adventure Base opportunities as well as being a fun and exciting alternative to the merit badge program. A Coureur des Bois (or Coureur de Bois; English translation is Runner of the Woods) was an independent entrepreneur who journeyed to the interior of North America at the beginning of the 18th Century to take advantage of the Fur Trade. Eventually these Coureurs would join the licensed company crews of Voyageurs who at the time were pushing deeper into the untamed regions of the Northwoods looking for more furs. Ma-Ka-Ja-Wan High Adventure Base invites you to join the ranks of Coureur from history as you journey into the Northwoods of Wisconsin and take an independent look at what the region has to offer. Scouts who sign up as Coureurs will spend each day out on an adventure both in Ma-Ka-Ja-Wan Scout Reservation and at locations throughout the Northwoods. Each day will bring a new adventure and new challenges for the Coureur. Participants in the Coureur des Bois Program will begin each morning after breakfast and rejoin their units at dinner. They will be able to take advantage of evening programs throughout camp! Coureur des Bois is open to Scouts age 13 and older.
ADDITIONAL FEE: Scouts participating in the Coureur des Bois program do pay an additional $25 fee on top of their scout summer camp program fee. The council website's registration system is set up to collect those fees. Since space is very limited, so these fees must now be prepaid online.
NOTE: We are hoping to provide merit badge sign-up through the council website in 2019, which means you will also be able to sign up for the Coureur des Bois program at the same time you pay.
IN PLACE OF BLOCK SCHEDULE OFFERINGS: Instead of taking merit badges or participating in programs offered at each sub-camp, scouts will be taken off on a high adventure trek each day. See below an EXAMPLE of the five-day program's schedule. Possible overnight programs are available depending on the wishes of the group.
Sample Week Program
. Sunday: Shakedown and High Ad campfire. Finalize weeks program.
Monday: Overnight Backpacking (Boundary trail? Ice age trail?)
Tuesday: (AM) Return from backpacking trip. (PM) Climbing Wall, Zipline, Crate stacking, Shooting Sports Training
Wednesday: (AM) Coureur De Bois Olympics War canoe race, Ultimate frisbee and GaGa Ball) (PM) Shooting Sports - Open shooting for rifle and shotgun. Action Archery
Thursday: Morning mountain biking through camp. Afternoon Mountain Biking field trip to Jack Lake mountain biking trails. or Flambeau River overnight canoe trip.
Friday: Menominee Reservation white water raft trip. Trail ride and Coureur De Bois cookout together with all returning High Adventure Treks. (Root beer and BBQ)

Following closely behind Australia: Denmark, Sweden and UK's advertising authorities looks at iPad '4G' marketing claim
Now, authorities in other countries where the new iPad is not compatible with local 4G networks are investigating the issue. Authorities in at least the United Kingdom and Sweden confirmed they are considering investigations…
The best 4K & 5K displays for Mac
Pocket-Lint spoke to the U.K.'s Advertising Standards Authority and confirmed it is looking into complaints:
"We are aware of the news from Australia regarding the iPad 4G marketing claim… Without going through due process we can't say whether the (UK) ad is likely to be problematic. If anyone has concerns about the iPad ad then they can lodge a complaint with us and we will establish whether or not there is a problem under the Code."
The Swedish Consumer Agency is also considering an investigation with Marek Andersson, a lawyer for the Agency responsible for safeguarding consumers' interests. The agency told The Wall Street Journal it received "several complaints":
"One may rightfully ask if the marketing of the new iPad is misleading… While iPad is equipped with 4G connectivity, it will only work in the U.S. and Canada… The question is whether this information is clear enough in Apple's marketing.
The Pocket-Lint report noted the U.K. Advertising Code states: "That ads must not mislead the consumer by omitting material information or by presenting it in an unclear, unintelligible or ambiguous way"—which would seem to apply in this scenario. When Apple launched the new LTE iPad, it only announced international carriers for Canada including Bell, Rogers, and TELUS.
Meanwhile, Apple's Australian and U.K. sales pages for the new iPad clearly state: "Wi-Fi + 4G model can roam worldwide on fast GSM/UMTS networks, including HSPA, HSPA+, and DC-HSDPA. When you travel internationally, you can use a micro-SIM card from a local carrier." Due to complaints, it is possible Apple could be forced to include specific information about compatibility with local 4G networks through each of its international online stores. It could also likely lead to Apple offering refunds in the U.K., Sweden, and elsewhere—the same as Australia.
Update: Now Denmark too is getting into the act.

The gathering, which was not officially sanctioned by the college, was organized by student group Think Globally, Vote Locally, with candidates running for Village Board in attendance.
Several issues dominated the discussion, namely rental housing and the possibility of opening a farmers' market in Geneseo.
Village Board candidate Bob Wilcox, a Democrat, was concerned that Main Street would not remain viable in light of recent development on Route 20A. He said that he believes that a farmers' market is just what Geneseo needs to bring students and community members together.
Democrat Margaret Duff, who said she was "not opposed to growth, as long as it is smart growth," promised to carry the torch if incumbent Wilcox is not re-elected.
Republican candidate John Fox Jr. was not as confident. He explained that although he didn't discredit the appeal of a farmers' market, he felt that competition from existing farmers' markets and initial capital expenses make the project unrealistic. According to Fox, the market "seems to be too costly an endeavor to embark upon at this point."
Old tensions resurfaced upon mention of the divisive issue of rental housing. Last year, the village board passed a resolution that forbade any more than four non-related persons from sharing a residence. This resolution left students with fewer off-campus housing options and landlords stood to have their investments devalued. In light of such conflict, the law was overturned after its constitutionality was challenged in a lawsuit.
Republican representatives repeatedly stated that the rental affair was a waste of the taxpayers' time and money.
Wilcox said to those gathered that a new compromise had been reached wherein all current residence limits would be retained in a grandfather clause. The new law will govern all subsequent rental development and require a thorough inspection every three years.
Towards the conclusion of the meeting, several students commented on the tendency for village residents to deny the importance of the college. As a result, both parties stressed the importance of communication between students and community members.
According to Tom LaGrou, a Republican, "We live here, the students live here, we all need to communicate and get along."
Duff said she wants Geneseo to remain "a place where college students want to stay and high-school students want to raise their families." She called for students to get involved in local politics and to lend some of their ideas to those in power.
Junior Fiona Murray, TGVL chairperson, concluded the talk by stating that "Main Street could be ten times better at bringing the students into the community, and that the college could be ten times better at getting the community involved on campus."
Democrat Bill Brennan and Republican Brad Janson are competing for the non-partisan position of town justice and thus refrained from participating in the debate.

Social Anxiety Disorder (SAD):
Does your child or adolescent have excessive fear of being scrutinized or judged by others in social or performance situations? Examples include fear of having a conversation, meeting unfamiliar people, being observed eating or drinking, or giving a speech. Does your child or adolescent endure these situations with intense fear, or even completely avoid them? For people with social anxiety disorder, the fear or anxiety causes significant distress or impairment in one or more areas of life (e.g., social, occupational). Unfortunately, 36% of people with SAD report symptoms for 10 or more years before they seek help.
Treatment for social anxiety disorder in Philadelphia:
Dr. Braunstein offers supportive, evidence-based therapy for children and adolescents with social anxiety disorder, tailored to their specific needs and preferences. Contact Dr. Braunstein to schedule an initial visit at her office in Center City Philadelphia.

A sobering picture
From them we find that Lionel learned to ride a bike in 1900, and carefully recorded his progress: his first ride alone, his first accident ("collision with Miss Allingham"), his second accident ("lost control down a hill, run into hedge, cuts and scratches").
This part of the log contains totals from his "register" and starts a century ago in 1910, when he covered 5,674 miles. In 1911 he covered 7,123 miles. In July 1911 he covered 600 miles. Apparently the log also describes various trips through Kent and work on his bike, such as new tyres and brakes.
It all sounds familiar stuff.
Lionel made columns for the years up to 1919, but sadly the log ends in 1915, after which Lionel joined the army. In May 1917 he was killed when his troopship was torpedoed in the Mediterranean.

"We are all apprentices in a craft where no one ever becomes a master."
— Ernest Hemingway
When I was 15, I saw Phil Keaggy play at Maranatha Hall. I had just started losing interest in heavy metal, so seeing someone with total command of an acoustic guitar was eye opening. I was able to go to Phil's workshop the next day and talk to him for a little while. I remember telling him that I had tried to learn one of his songs the night before and it was too much for me to manage in a single night. His reply? "I think there are some beginner's workshops around here somewhere."
I came away from that weekend determined to buy the same kind of guitar he played: an Olson SJ. It's a fortunate coincidence that Jim Olson lives in Circle Pines, about a half hour drive from my parent's house. I looked up his website and got some details and started saving up the money to make a down payment: 25% of the $5000 total. By midsummer, I had saved enough and my parents took me up to see his shop.
The stairwell up to Jim's workshop is lined with pictures of famous musicians playing his guitars, including one of Paul McCartney and the aforementioned Keaggy, a detail that contradicts his soft-spoken, humble nature. (I also doubt he's changed his mustache style in at least thirty years. I suppose if you're doing things right, why change?) He spent the bulk of the tour on a mission to talk me out of buying one of his guitars. "I don't think this is right for you," he'd say. "You'll have it for a few months and then wish you'd spent your money on something else." He told story after story of people regretting their purchase and trying to sell it back. He didn't want to do that to a kid.
He led me inside his house, and sat me down with his wife's guitar, an SJ itself with a stunning single-rose inlay on the fretboard. He asked me to play for him for a little while – an audition to make a purchase, though I was too excited to play the instrument to notice how bizarre that was. I played less than two minutes before he caught my attention and said, quiet as ever, "Okay. I'll build you a guitar."
Every once in a while, I'll go into Podium in Dinkytown, one of the two places around the Cities where you can find used Olsons. I'll see one in their display case and ask to strum it for a little while. (They make you ask to play their cheap guitars, so you've got to practically beg to touch the Olsons.) This request is never met with an approving look, but instead always with a sneer. It's hard to be insulted by their sleight, though, when I earned the approval of the maker himself.
In this I pray, Lord, help me to focus only on Your approval, and to disregard as meaningless any voice that contradicts Yours.

I found some old photographs in a used book I purchased a few days ago entitled "Vagabond Voyaging" I found them to be funny and odd in there appearance and what they depicted. I though the best thing to do is to draw all over them with ink. So, above is what I came up with, they tend to not make sense, just the way I like them.

Blepharoplasty, face & neck liposuction, facelift, simplicity neck lift before & after photos
Having worked in the medical field for many years, this savvy 60-year-old female sought our advice regarding her aging face and neck. She had been bothered by the hooding of her upper eyelids for many years and was interested in eyelid surgery in Tampa, as well as a Simplicity Lift for her face and neck.Because of the advanced aging of her neck, we recommended a combination of the Simplicity Faceliftand neck lift. The patient chose that the combination of the two procedures would be the best option for her and give her the correction she wanted. In addition, she also opted for jowl liposuction so she could have a better contour of the neck. In order to correct the hooding of her upper eyelids, she decided to have a laser upper lid blepharoplasty also.Her photos demonstrate remarkable improvement in the appearance of her face and neck. She will be considering injectable fillers in the future for her nasolabial folds and marionette lines around her mouth to top off her fantastic results!

If you like the results you see here, request a consultation to learn more about how this procedure can help you achieve your ideal appearance. We encourage you to print your favorite photos and bring them with you during your consultation to help communicate your goals and expectations.
Botox® cosmetic, face & neck liposuction, facelift, radiesse®, simplicity neck lift before & after photos
This 60-year-old female sought advice regarding her aging face and neck as she was interested in having a facelift. She desired more definition in her neckline, but also wanted lifting of her cheeks and jaw line. With the support and encouragement of her friends and family she made the decision to see our expert surgeons. During her consultation, we discussed a Simplicity Face Lift versus a Simplicity Neck Lift, as well as the combination of the two procedures. She originally opted for a Simplicity Lift with liposuction of the neck and jowl to optimize contour in those areas. The patient subsequently called back to schedule a neck lift, as well, to maximize the benefits. She was so excited about her results that she appeared on the local Daytime show with Dr. Jasin to describe her experience.
Chin augmentation, non-surgical rhinoplasty, simplicity neck lift before & after photos
This patient originally came in to see Dr. Jasin about his neck. He had interest in a neck lift, but also mentioned some deformity of his nose following a rhinoplasty. Dr. Jasin recommended a neck lift and chin augmentation in Tampa as he had a receding chin.The nasal deformity consisted of an exaggerated dip above the tip of the nose. The patient opted for an injectable solution to the problem rather than undergoing another surgery. His photos demonstrate the very natural looking correction achieved with injection of the semi-permanent filler Radiesse used in non-surgical rhinoplasties.

Marie, age 57, came for a consultation primarily to address concerns with her neck and jowls. She, also, desired maximal correction for her neck so we suggested a combination of a Simplicity Lift, Simplicity Neck Lift, and jowl liposuction.The combination of the Simplicity Lift and Neck Lift allows for tightening of the platysma muscle from two different perspectives that maximize correction of the angle between the neck and chin. Jowl liposuction allows for a more angular jaw line returning the face to more of a youthful heart shape rather than a more square appearance we develop as we age.
Face & neck liposuction, simplicity neck lift before & after photos
This 55-year-old Hispanic female presented to the Elite Facial Plastic Surgery for evaluation of her aging face and neck and was interested in having a facelift in Tampa. Five years prior she had an upper and lower lid blepharoplasty, but now she was bothered by the lack of definition of her neck and jawline.After examination and discussion about the Simplicity Neck Lift vs. the Simplicity Facelift, the patient decided that for her, the neck lift would be the better option.For those primarily concerned with their necks, the neck lift may provide better definition in the angle between the neck and chin and more longevity of correction. To help with the jawline, liposuction of the jowl is recommended. This patient was very pleased with her results and has become a very loyal patient of the Elite Facial Plastic Surgery.

This 48-year-old female came to the Elite Facial Plastic Surgery seeking help for laxity and fullness beneath her chin. The patient had particular interest in a neck lift in Tampa. She had been receiving injectable fillers previously, but now wanted something surgical and longer lasting for her neck. Therefore, after consulting with our office she decided to have a Simplicity Neck Lift and liposuction. Although her photos demonstrate great improvement her actual results looked even better. At the time of her surgery she was moving to Europe to join her now husband. What a pleasant surprise he had in store for him!

Ginny is an amazing massage therapist & I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a great, trustworthy person. I was involved in a very bad car accident many years prior to coming to Ginny for chronic pain. I had a very bad experience with massage therapists in the past, but Ginny was quick to put me at ease & adjust her technique to fit my medical needs. She worked through so many of my injuries & I had never felt so pain free! I truly miss having her as my therapist & could not recommend anyone better!
