It's time to admit defeat. Summer has well and truly stood us up. Who needs it, writes Danielle Wright, when you can embrace glorious autumn.
In The Edge of the Alphabet, Janet Frame describes autumn: "Now see the sun wrapped in moth-balls, finely waistcoated; the autumn goldfinches swinging on the thistle-tops, the leaves drifting, the old oaks holding fast to their leaves."
It makes me anticipate autumn as a season of beauty, full of colour and evocative memories; a time for slowing down, taking stock and nesting ready for winter. Here are some ways to awaken your autumn senses to make the most of the season.
Looks like autumn
Creating an autumn look can be as simple as moving things around. For example, rotate photos - put away the beach snaps and showcase photos taken during the colder months.
"In autumn, we usually need to make our homes a haven from the elements," says Amanda Holland, interior designer and owner of contemporary living store, Small Acorns.
"Instead of opening up our rooms as we would for summer, try to orient the room around itself. A fireplace is an obvious focal point if you have one, or try putting the chairs in a cosy grouping.
"In every season, you should always be surrounded by things you love. Put some treasures away and get others out. Rooms should tell a story and have soul. They should reflect your personality and style. A mix of old and new, vintage with contemporary is ideal."
With less time spent outdoors, bring nature into the home with autumn blooms. As writer Albert Camus said: "Autumn is a second spring, when every leaf is
a flower."
"In the flower world, everything takes on an antique look as the colours fade from pastel and bright summer hues to more muted, sophisticated tones," says Sarah Scott, owner of Wallflower Boutique Florist.
"The most exciting floral show in autumn is berries. Try pink or cream hypericum or snowberries, deep purple viburnum berries or, for a more traditional autumn palette, red hypericum berries with scarlet hydrangeas and burnt orange double or parrot tulips."
The night sky is also different at this time of year, and the air is often clearer than in summer. On cloudless nights, point out autumn constellations and the harvest moon.
Smells like autumn
Now the windows and doors are shut more, create a cosy autumn aroma with freshly baked bread, soups and stews. Or, if you'd prefer your home wasn't shrouded in cooking smells, try a Candles of New Zealand chef's candle, with a blend of fresh herbs, lemon and vanilla designed to eliminate unwanted cooking odours.
Instal a new eco-fireplace, such as the smokeless ethanol-based Aura Fires range or the Riva2 gas fire from The Fireplace in Mt Eden. You'll be cosy without dealing with tedious wood-chopping and messy ash.
The flicker of candle flames and spicy aromas of autumn aromatherapy oils will also make up for the night coming earlier. Simone McConnell, owner of Dolphin Clinic suggests using warming essential oils such as cinnamon, clove bud, nutmeg and ginger blended with orange, mandarin or bergamot.
"Using the appropriate pure essential oils in your home can create a cosy, relaxing autumn ambience, without the use of synthetic chemicals," says Simone.
Blend your own or try a pre-mixed oil, such as Dolphin Clinic's Nicely Spicy Pure Essential Oil Blend containing mandarin, ylang ylang, cinnamon and clove for "a warming, cheering blend of essential oils".
I tested it on my family and it had the desired effect. We all had a much better start to the evening routine, often a stressful time for families with small children.
Feels like autumn
A good thing about having seasons opposite to the Northern Hemisphere is the chance to cash in on online shopping sales. Right now you can buy winter jumpers for half price on sites like asos.com, or invest in cardigans and jumpers from the backs of our own country's sheep. Karen Walker's 100 per cent angora yellow sunray cable knit is so cheerful it will brighten even the dullest winter day.
Snuggle up in new-season blankets and throws - choose from fleece, wool, faux fur and cable knit.
And don't forget the comfort of your feet. "If you have wooden floors, rugs underfoot add warmth and can also add colour and a wow factor," says Small Acorns' Amanda Holland. "Slightly overlapping or layering your rugs is also a great way to add texture and colour."
Sounds like autumn
If you have young children, go for a walk and get inspiration from nature - leaves crackling underfoot, rain on your umbrella, wind in the trees. Discover your neighbourhood and forage for leaves to press and turn into pictures and cards.
Inside, create playlists of your favourite autumn songs - Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong singing Autumn in New York, Autumn Leaves by Nat King Cole, or a haunting rendition by Eva Cassidy.
Tastes like autumn
You can pick autumn off the trees, in the shape of feijoas, tamarillos and passionfruit. Use these, and the slower days, to renew your love of cooking. Buy a new cookbook with lots of delicious autumn recipes (see cookthebooks.co.nz). For baking inspiration, Treats from Little & Friday is released this month by the popular North Shore cafe, just in time to keep you busy in the kitchen on rainy days. And check out Living Savour columnist Grant Allen's seasonal recipes each week in this magazine and at nzherald.co.nz. Here's his take on the perfect meal to eat in front of the fire on a chilly evening:
Chips and guacamole grilled cheese
My brief was an easy, cosy dish for autumn. Mmm, I thought, a toasted sandwich.
Think of a simple Sunday tea, in front of the TV on a dark autumn evening. Coincidentally, April is "Grilled Cheese Month" in the US. Its food sites are full of grilled cheese ideas, mostly in the form of toasted samos. This is one of the more unusual.
Makes 4 substantial sandwiches
8 slices of bacon
16 corn chips
4 tbsp butter (at room temp)
8 slices of sourdough bread
1 cup of guacamole
(A quick guacamole can be made by mixing diced avocado, finely chopped spring onion, some chopped coriander, a squeeze of lemon and a dash of sweet chilli sauce)
2 sliced tomatoes
1 cup of grated colby cheese
feta cheese (optional)
1 Cook the bacon till crisp and drain on a paper towel.
2 Crush the corn chips to a crumb in a processor, then mix into the soft butter.
3 Spread the chip butter on all 8 slices of bread (one side only).
4 Place 4 slices (butter side down) and spread with the guacamole.
5 Put the tomato on top of this, then the grated cheese and, if you like, some crumbled feta.
6 Top with 2 bacon slices on each.
7 Sandwich with the remaining bread, butter-side to the bacon.
8 Heat a solid pan over a medium heat and cook the sandwiches till the base is browned.
9 Turn, compress with a spatula and cook till browned and the cheese is melting.
This is a bit more complicated than the usual cheese and onion toastie, but served with a mug of soup it would be a very satisfying telly tea.

Barenaked Ladies does a great duet with Sarah McLaughlin of "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen."
I also love Burl Ives' "Holly, Jolly Christmas" and all those other songs from the "Rudolph" claymation TV show. I'd also throw in "Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree." I don't remember who sings it, but it sounds a lot like young Wayne Newton.

Big Bend
National Park
Big Bend is a special place to study geology. The rocks are clearly exposed, thanks to sparse vegetation and recent erosion. A remarkable array of geologic processes are displayed here, from volcanoes and landslides to fossils and flashfloods.
A Land of Constant Change
That portion of the earth's surface known as "the Big Bend" has often been described as a "geologist's paradise". In part this is due to the sparse vegetation of the region, which allows the various strata to be easily observed and studied. It is also due to the complex geologic history of the area, presenting a challenge to students and researchers from all over the world. Not all field geologists, however, refer to the Big Bend as a paradise. For some, this land of twisted, tortured rock is a nightmare.
The abundance, diversity and complexity of visible rock outcrops is staggering, especially to first-time observers. From 500 million year old rocks at Persimmon Gap to modern-day windblown sand dunes at Boquillas Canyon, geologic formations in Big Bend demonstrate amazingly diverse depositional styles over a vast interval of time. For most of us, time is measured by the passing of days, years and generations. The concept of geologic time, however, is not so easily understood. Events that occurred 2 million, 26 million or as many as 120 million years ago are, at best, difficult to comprehend. Since astronomers now place the age of the earth at approximately 4.6 billion years we should perhaps consider ourselves fortunate that the oldest rocks found in the Big Bend are only about 500 million years old.
Initial commentary on the geology of the Big Bend was provided by early-day explorers and adventurers in the 1800's. Subsequent studies by numerous 20th century researchers enable us now to reasonably reconstruct the complex geologic history of the Big Bend. For a period of at least 200 million years, ending some 300 million years ago in the Paleozoic Era, a deep-ocean trough extended from present-day Arkansas and Oklahoma into the Big Bend region of far West Texas. Sediments from highlands to the north accumulated in that trough to form layers of gravel, sand and clay. With the passing of time, these layers became sandstone and shale beds. About 300 million years ago these strata were "squeezed" upward by collision with a continent to the south to form the ancestral Ouachita mountains. Subsequent erosion over an interval of 160 million years left only the roots of those mountains visible. These remnants may be observed today in the Ouachita Mountains of southeastern Oklahoma, in the immediate vicinity of Marathon, Texas, and in Big Bend National Park near Persimmon Gap.
A warm, shallow sea invaded the Big Bend during the Cretaceous Period, some 135 million years ago, providing the setting for deposition of lime mud and the remains of sea-dwelling organisms such as clams and snails. Limestone layers formed from those shallow muds are now visible throughout much of the Big Bend. They comprise the dramatic walls of
- Santa Elena, Mariscal and Boquillas canyons,
- the entire range of the Sierra del Caballo Muerto (Dead Horse Mountains) and
- the magnificent cliffs of the Sierra del Carmen in Coahuila, Mexico, towering above Rio Grande Village
Approximately 100 million years ago the shallow Cretaceous sea began a gradual retreat to its present location, the Gulf of Mexico. Sandstone and clay sediments that formed along the retreating shoreline are found in lowlands surrounding the Chisos Mountains.
Shallow water strata of this episode contain the fossil remains of:
- oysters,
- giant clams,
- ammonites, and
- a variety of fishes and marine reptiles
Near-shore deposits in Big Bend have yielded:
- petrified wood,
- fossil turtles and
- crocodiles-one almost 50 feet long!
Near the end of the Cretaceous Period, a west-to-east compression of the earth's crust marked the beginning of the second major mountain-building period in Big Bend. This compression, which began in Canada, moved gradually southward, uplifting and folding ancient sediments to form the Rocky Mountains. In Big Bend National Park, Mariscal Mountain represents the southernmost extension of the Rockies in the United States. Broad uplift punctuated by upward folding exposed both the erosion-resistant lower Cretaceous limestones and the less resistant overlying sandstones and clays to the onslaught of erosion. Limestone cliffs throughout the region continue to be eroded today; most of the more easily removed sandstone and clay is gone from the mountains.
For almost 10 million years after uplift ended, non-marine sediments of the Tertiary period constitute the only record of events in the Big Bend. Dinosaurs had long been gone from the land, their places taken by a proliferation of mammals, many of whose remains have been found in Big Bend ... horses, rhinos, camels and rodents, as well as fossils of the plants on which they thrived.
All was not to remain quiet for long. Near the present northwest boundary of Big Bend National Park, the first of a long series of volcanic eruptions occurred approximately 42 million years ago. Upwelling magma lifted the mass now known as the Christmas Mountains, fracturing and weakening over-lying strata, allowing massive outpourings of lava to spread across the land. The oldest volcanic rocks in Big Bend owe their origins to this eruptive cycle.
Between roughly 38 and 32 million years ago Big Bend itself hosted a series of volcanic eruptions. Initial activity in this cycle centered in the Sierra Quemada, below the present South Rim of the Chisos Mountains. Subsequent volcanic activity at Pine Canyon, Burro Mesa, near Castolon and elsewhere in the park is responsible for the brightly colored volcanic ash and lava layers of the lower elevations and for most of the mass of the Chisos Mountains.
Volcanic activity was not continuous during these eruptive cycles. Periods of hundreds of thousands or perhaps millions of years passed between eruptions. During the quiet interludes the forces of erosion carved new landscapes, many of which were destined to be buried under layers of ash and lava from later eruptions. Life returned to the land only to be displaced by future eruptions.
Elsewhere in the Big Bend rising magma sometimes failed to reach the surface. Instead, it spread within existing layers of rock, uplifting and fracturing overlying strata. Once the magma cooled and crystallized it formed solid masses of erosion-resistant intrusive igneous rock which have now been exposed by erosion of the overlying material. Maverick Mountain, the Grapevine Hills, Nugent Mountain and Pulliam Ridge are among many examples in Big Bend of such "frozen" magma chambers.
Beginning some 26 million years ago, stresses generated along the West coast of North America resulted in stretching of the earth's crust as far east as Big Bend. As a result of these tensional forces fracture zones developed, which, over time, allowed large bodies of rock to slide downward along active faults. The central mass of Big Bend National Park, including the Chisos Mountains, from the Sierra del Carmen to the east to the Mesa de Anguila to the west comprises such a block of rocks dropped downward by faulting. Direct evidence of this faulting is readily observed at the tunnel near Rio Grande Village. There the limestone layer through which the tunnel passes is the same layer that forms the skyline of the Sierra del Carmen to the east, dropped down over 4800 feet by faulting. To the west, at the mouth of Santa Elena Canyon the highest elevation rises 1500 feet above the river, while at the parking area the same layer lies some 1500 feet below the surface. Displacement along these faults did not occur in a single event, rather in a series of lesser episodes of faulting punctuated by earthquakes. The 1995 magnitude 5.6 earthquake near Marathon, Texas, 70 miles north of Panther Junction indicates that the responsible stresses are still active.
The Making of Santa Elena Canyon
Movement along the Terlingua Fault dropped rocks on the east side (right) over 3,000 feet! Santa Elena Canyon was carved by the Rio Grande long after faulting occurred.
The western slopes of the Chisos Mountains provide evidence of additional activity within the same fracture zones. Near the old ranch on the Ross Maxwell Scenic Drive stand a number of parallel ridges to the east of the road. These ridges are the eroded remains of tabular intrusions of magma along the Burro Mesa fault. The layers of volcanic ash into which the magma intruded are being actively removed by erosion, leaving the more resistant "dikes" of intrusive rocks standing in bold relief.
Mountain building by compression, volcanism and tension all served to form the framework for today's landscapes in Big Bend National Park. Erosion of higher lands resulted in the filling of surrounding basins. Eventually basins from El Paso to Big Bend were filled and subsequently linked by the Rio Grande. Achieving through-flow to the Gulf of Mexico only within the last 2 million years, the Rio Grande ranks as the youngest major river system in the United States. Once established, the Rio Grande served, and continues to serve, as the conduit for material removed by erosion.
The processes of erosion comprise the most active aspect of Big Bend's geology today. Erosion in Big Bend is best defined by rapid run-off and flash-flooding following summer thunderstorms, but there are other active agents of erosion.
Water droplets in the atmosphere capture carbon dioxide to form carbonic acid, a very weak naturally occurring acid which has virtually no effect on man. One mineral, however, is vulnerable to attack by carbonic acid: calcite, which comprises the bulk of all limestone in the Big Bend. Every drop of rain that falls on limestone dissolves a tiny bit of calcite which is transported away by runoff, perhaps to a final destination in the Gulf of Mexico. The beautifully etched limestone cliffs in the Sierra del Caballo Muerto and in Big Bend's canyons owe their origin to mother nature's own version of acid rain!
Rainwater also contains free oxygen which reacts with sulfur-bearing minerals in igneous rocks. Virtually all igneous rocks in Big Bend contain minor amounts of pyrite, or Fool's Gold, which is iron sulfide. Oxygen-bearing water attacks individual pyrite grains, replacing the sulfur with oxygen to form iron oxide, better known as "rust", which provides the warm red and brown colors of igneous rocks in the Big Bend.
Plant and animal activity is also vital in the shaping of the land. As plants grow their root systems expand, forcing rocks ever farther apart, until, eventually, rocks are dislodged and fall. The same roots also extract needed minerals from rocks, weakening the rocks and rendering them more vulnerable to removal by flowing water. Similarly, animals crossing a rocky slope often dislodge rocks, sending them crashing downslope to collide with yet other rocks, which, in turn are dislodged.
Though plants and animals play significant roles in erosion, the key player remains water. From chemical weathering by water-borne carbonic acid and oxygen to mechanical removal of soft and broken rocks, to scouring ever deeper and wider the canyons of the Big Bend, water is today, as it has been in the past, the major tool in the shaping of the land.
The Greek philosopher Heraclitus once said "There is nothing permanent except change" This phrase could have been directed to the Big Bend where geologic processes have been constantly changing the land for over 500 million years. Each time you return to Big Bend National Park it will be different, for with every passing day the land is indeed changing.

The purpose of this study is to find out whether a method of nonvisual foot inspection, using the senses of touch and smell, helps people with diabetes and visual impairment to find new foot problems when they are in early, easily-treated stages. All people in the study will have regular foot inspections by podiatrists. We will look at how people feel about the method, whether they actually do it, and whether the method helps them to discover foot problems themselves, instead of waiting to have problems discovered by the podiatrist.

The 2.7.1 release is ready to go, hopefully tonight there will be a place to actually upload it to. There is a hideous number of new features in this release, the most recent being a new score dialog for gnomine. If it goes down well I'll use it for all the games.
Another big change is that gnometris now supports drag-and-drop for setting the background image. In fact this is now the only way to set the background. At the moment it doesn't work that well, it only seems to work with nautilus and it is not very intelligent about whether to scale or tile an image, but I'm working on it. I'm sure the similarity between the apsect ratios of a Playboy center-fold scan and the gnometris playing area is a coincidence.
I have also euthanised Klotski since it had very limited replayability and no one seems to be actually play it. I don't have any plans to remove any other games in the near future.
Work is going well. Non-work is going well. The weather has even been nice (well, as nice as autumn ever is).

Description Sole bat in Eastern US with noseleaf that has no tail. Shades of brown on upperparts; grayish and somewhat paler below. May show pale facial stripes above and below eye.
Dimensions Length to 80 mm; Wt to 45 g
Warning Bats are susceptible to rabies, a serious viral disease that results in death if untreated. Rabid bats rarely attack humans or other animals, but bats found lying on the ground may be rabid. Never touch or pick up any bat. Stay away from any animal that seems to be acting strangely and report it to animal-control officers. If you are bitten by a possibly rabid animal, you must immediately consult a doctor for a series of injections; there is no cure once symptoms emerge.
Habitat Cities, suburbs & towns
Range Florida
Discussion Found in the southern Bahamas and Cuba, the Jamaican Fruit-eating Bat is assumed to be an occasionally visitor to the Florida Keys, although this remains unconfirmed.

He understand everything and when he want something to me in their language I can't understand what he wants. I have talk to other doctor also but they didn't gave me satisfactory answer. Please tell me what I have to do for it. Thanks.
I àm 35 male and my baby in 13 weeks old. I want to ask can I give water to my baby or after how many months I can give him cerelac.
I had a love marriage. My husband has a dark complexion, while I am of wheatish golden color. My mother-in-law, like every other typical Indian family, was preoccupied with the color of my skin and desired a light-skinned grandchild. She was convinced that my child would have a dark complexion, due to my wheatish skin color. A country like ours places a huge importance on fair skin and because of this I was determined to protect my child from the distress of being put through 'fairness tests' throughout his/her life.
The 'Natural Brite Kit' was the perfect solution and it saved me. It only required me to follow specific diet patterns and the intake of certain oral supplements in the sixth month of my pregnancy. And luckily, some months later, a daughter with fair, light skin was born to me. My mother-in law was very happy, all thanks to the 'Natural Brite Kit'.
This case is only one of the many victories of 'Natural Brite Kit', from the large number of people who have used it successfully. This treatment includes the use of herbal treatment and bach flower in its remedies, and comes under Ayurvedic treatment. Not only is it an agent for cleansing, but it also conducts a purification of the body.
This treatment must be administered over a period of one month before the sixth month of pregnancy. The result is that your baby develops fair and smooth skin. The ideology of Ayurveda is that the body can be healed by maintaining a balance of the natural forces within it. And thus, this herbal medication includes healing powers. Ayurveda is an ancient science that boasts of vast aptitude and knowledge in preventive remedies as well as effective therapy.
Though we do not wish to portray dark skin as any being less than fair skin, in this country, fair skin is viewed as an asset. The fact that relatives ask if the infant is fair skinned or not is just one example that proves this point. This medication assures the child better opportunities and an improved present as well as future.
Is this form of treatment safe?
An all encompassing trial was taken of 1200 pregnant women, who were administered with both, a naturopathic diet as well as Bach flower. With a 97% success rate, a study of over five years resulted in 1169 of 1200 women giving birth to fair skinned babies.
What are the contents of the 'Natural Brite Kit'?
They are;
Herbal supplements
A booklet of literature on this topic
The booklet is an extensive source of data about the principles and mechanisms of action of the "Ayurveda and Bach flower therapy", the panel of doctors as well as the details of prescriptions for oral supplements.
The herbal medications in the package include:
Suprabhavati Tablets
Apple Grow Pills
Shubangakalp Granules
What is the process of treatment?
The aim of the treatment is the gestation period for pregnant women in the 6th month. The procedure of this form of treatment includes a rigidly controlled diet. Dressing in dark colored clothing is prohibited during this period and overexposure to the sun should be avoided at all costs; these rules should be observed strictly. Along with this, certain supplementary intakes are a must. The details of how to use them are mentioned in the booklet and the supplements have been divided into three different parts.
What would be the expected Results?
A healthy baby with light colored skin. If you wish to discuss about any specific problem, you can consult a gynaecologist.
Useful facts you should know:
1. After birth we can wait 24 hrs for first poop and 48 hrs for pee. If it is not immediately consult your doctor.
2. First 2 to 3 days baby can pass black stool which is called meconium so don't worry about black stool.
3. First two to three days after birth baby had concentrated urine rich of urate so we can get orange colured in diaper sometimes.
4. Sometimes baby can cry and irritated before passing urine or stool because of weak bladder and anal canal muscles which is strengthen with time.
5. If baby cry every time during and after passing urine we have to consult doctor for urinary infection.
6. Red colured urine or stool is always pathological immediately consult your doctor.
7. Neonate can pass stool ten to twelves times a day if baby is active and accepting feed well. Once in a week interval is also normal for breast feed baby.
8. Ash coloured stool is always pathological it is due neonatal cholestheasis.
9. Sometimes breast feed baby passes green cloured stool, it is mainly due to consumption of formilk only. It is advisable feed one breast at a time so baby can get formilk, midmilk and hind milk.
10. Sometimes newborn baby pass small amount of stool during micturition or crying it is normal if baby is active and accepting feed well.
My baby is 7.5 months old. When he was 4 months old, I started nursing (most of the time) from left side and has not pump from the other side. We both were more comfortable from one side and I have not realized that I should pump the other side. Now, from past two months I have been trying the other side but he is refusing .and one breast is lopsided now. I have taken lactare capsule also for 1 week (2 times in a day) and started pumping the left side but now very little milk is coming from right side. However,the other side is producing enough. Can I continue breastfeeding exclusively from one side? I am really worried that it should not have any health side effects. I have heard that this might cause breast cancer in future I have also visited one gain in my place for the same issue and she said that its ok to breastfeed with one side and I cannot produce milk from other side. Please guide. Your response will be highly appreciated.
Hi, my daughter is 9 months old and she is every time suffering from fever and sardi khansi even every one and two months she has fever and sardi and khansi I visited doctors many times but a doctors told me she is okay but why she has like that.
My child regular motion problem. If he used dulolax supporters ,he is getting motion. Doctor suggested internal sphincterotomy surgery. What should I do.
Hi, My baby age 1 year and weight 9.2 kg. When she eat good or have feed. She pass stool immediately after the feed. She pass stool 6 to 8 times in a day. But it happens immediately after having food or feed. But she never cry that time she never feel any pain in stomach. What should I do?
When you hold your new born in your arms for the first time, you will count him or her as the greatest blessing of your life. This is also the time when you are burdened with the responsibilities of another human. The sleep patterns in new-borns are erratic and you will never see them follow any pattern as such. They sleep off just about any time of the day and you will not see any pattern until about your angel is about 6 to 7 weeks old. After that age, they get quite adaptable and you will be able to get him or her adapted to certain patterns. This will make things very easy for you and your partner.
So why won't your baby sleep?
1. Your baby is too excited to fall asleep
Babies are a powerhouse of energy. Activities like tossing him in the air or giving him an exciting bath full of fun and frolic will probably do the opposite of winding him down. It will make him more excited and he will not want to go to bed thinking he would miss out on the other fun activities that are in store for him.
Solution: Replace the fun tickles with other activities like comforting massages or story time and lullabies. Dim the lights, cosy up the room. Make it a routine and you will find your baby easing into a deep slumber in no time.
2. Your baby is too sensitive to the external or internal environment
Every baby is not a sound sleeper. Some babies may jolt awake with just a simple nod, others may dose off amidst noise and screams as well. If your baby is of the first kind, then you may face a bunch of troubles to keep your baby calm and cosy. You may bother your baby's sleep if your phone starts to ring around her or by the constant honking of cars outside.
Solution: Keep her surroundings as warm and comfortable as possible. Keep her in a room that is away from the bustling noise of the cars, if possible or sound proof her room. Start by dimming the lights and getting her comfortable clothes that will keep her free when she is sleeping. Keep her sheets and pillows clean and ensure they do not remain wet.
3. Your baby snacks in the middle of the night
As it was mentioned before, babies have erratic schedules. They can get hungry or cranky just about any time of the day. Mid-night snacking is probably numero uno reason as to why your baby will not fall asleep at night. If you feed your baby to sleep every time, he or she might associate it with nursing.
Solution: It is okay to train your baby to comfort itself in the middle of the night. Whenever it may think it is hungry, he or she will cry and expect you to nurse him to sleep. Put him in the nursery when he is relatively sleepy to allow him to fall asleep all by himself. You may stand by till he does, but do not swaddle him.

The National Outdoor leadership School is a premier organization that teaches leadership using the outdoors as a class room.
It challenges the student to push themselves as they lead others. Critical thinking, skills, and team building are just a part of the course that drives the NOLS and its students to adventure, learning, and what they call the Expedition Behavior.
All of this translates well with the Boy Scouts of America.
Opportunities to take NOLS classes are many and I encourage you to take advantage of local courses. If nothing else, check out a Master Educator course for Leave no Trace.
So leadership the NOLS way…
Here are some of the responsibilities of a Leader, see how many directly translate to the BSA?
1. Help a group set goals and move them toward them safely.
3. Encourage responsibility in each member.
4. Use individual and collective strengths.
5. Engender trust by serving as a role model.
6. Act as a mentor and coach others.
7. Be Accountable.
8. Create a safe environment for learning.
Sounds pretty much like the job description of the Patrol leaders and Senior Patrol Leader. Right?
We can learn a lot when we look outside of the box. Continuing to learn is part of dynamic leadership and when we look around we see opportunities everywhere.
The National Outdoor Leadership School is a fantastic organization, check them out and see what they offer.

But will it let you turn off/change passcode when you answer the security questions correctly?
Let's say I forget my passcode and I answer my security questions to get into my device. Will that be the only way that I will ever be able to get into my device until I restore?
This was out before right?! Im confused
Edit: did some research and playing around and found that deleting keychains.db only worked on iOS 3.x.x. There is another way though. If you use Plan B, then while your phone is unlocked, back it up, then do a restore from a backup, you will have all of your data, except for your jailbroken apps. Interestingly enough, your jailbroken apps' settings will be saved and all you will have to do is install the apps again. You won't have to mess around with their settings.
I understand the potential in this tweak but.. If you seriously can't remember you passcode that's sad.. And heres the thing I mean you'll like it if you lose you iPod or iPhone long enough that you don't remember it by the time you find it a new update will be out.. Or you'll just want a fresh start and will end up restoring anyway.. And if it's been a long long time you won't even be able to answer the security question..
I don't see a real point to this tweak, PERSONALLY. I use my phone enough each day that I can't forget my password. The only application I could use this for is if I only used my iDevice once and a while. Again, that is just me.
forgetting my pass code will be a difficult thing to do, given that it's keyed in numerous times during the day. Good back up, however the UI could get a facelift.
stride is useless with this gigantic loophole

Several of my respected friends/colleagues view Perl, PHP and the ilk as great -- for "fast" jobs. We've had experiences with these scripting languages that make us tend away from them for "serious" work. We all like scripting, but we don't want to be stuck hacking on the same scripts for several months.
What does "fast" or "serious" mean? Some of the problems we've had with scripting include --
- Difficulty finding bugs. These languages are flexible -- very flexible. Logical and even syntax bugs can be difficult to find because simple mistakes in assumptions have to be checked by the programmer everywhere.
- Difficulty reading the code. Perl is like "interpreted line noise", according to jcv one of my friends. In Paul Graham's essay Hackers and Painters, he also notes this phenomenon:Many a hacker has written a program only to find on returning to it six months later that he has no idea how it works. I know several people who've sworn off Perl after such experiences.
- Inconsistent language/library design PHP, for example, seemed to be a mish-mash of useful routines, each with its own special calling conventions and partial documentation.
It's as if we have a love/hate relationship with scripting languages. They're great -- until you have to start maintaining them. "All programming is maintenance programming."
Maintenance becomes a problem with scripting languages because I can't fit the entire system into my head. I don't remember all of the rules and assumptions that are intrinsic to my application. (I'm speaking mostly of the gnarly vertical-market business applications here.) I'm crafting new software, yes; and I need to be able to change it rapidly -- therefore, I need system support to keep me in the sandbox of my application.
But Tim O'Reilly's comments on Why Scripting Languages Matter run at variance to this:The reason why dynamic languages like Perl, Python, and PHP are so important is key to understanding the paradigm shift. Unlike applications from the previous paradigm, web applications are not released in one to three year cycles. They are updated every day, sometimes every hour. Rather than being finished paintings, they are sketches, continually being redrawn in response to new data.
I'll buy this comment about rapidly-changing applications -- but I don't understand why scripting languages are perceived as being more suitable for this.
Indeed, to make changes rapidly, you need a system helping you find when you've violated assumptions -- this is why agile programming methods are often associated with testing. And this is why we need strong language support for limiting the behavior of a system -- especially for rapidly-changing applications.
I haven't found this kind of support in scripting languages, by and large. But what attracts us to scripting languages in the first place? Maybe it's the fact that we don't have to define a class and stick a method in it just to do a simple job. This suggests that it's the lack of system support for constraint validation that attracts us to scripting.

Anybody know of any sites that may have the Burger King/Star Wars commercials online? The good, funny ones! Also, I can only think of three: Darth vs. the Mop, Stormtrooper starts a fire, and Darth meets the King. Any other ones?
Anybody know of any sites that may have the Burger King/Star Wars commercials online? The good, funny ones! Also, I can only think of three: Darth vs. the Mop, Stormtrooper starts a fire, and Darth meets the King. Any other ones?
I was hoping that someday they would release a DVD of every Star Wars commercial ever made, because there are some good ones out there! I don't get much of a chance to watch that much TV. I did see the Stormtrooper lighting the grill with his blaster........a soon to be classic in my book!
2015 RFL Thank You to, TeeEye7 & Slicker, JediTricks, Tycho, El Chuxter, and Darth Jax!!!!
Be an organ donor, save lives!
The only one I've seen is the Stormtrooper blasting the grill. I didn't know there were 2 others.
I loved the one from the last promo where Vader shows up at the guys door and tell him "I am your...uncle."
[FONT=Book Antiqua]He passes to Moses - He shoots, he scores![/FONT]
Mummy of the raincoat is a gigantic trollop.
There was another one over the summer, where a guy is watching a hologram of his girlfriend. I don't remember any details beyond that.
A DVD of SW-related commercials would be cool. Remember the Energizer commercial from about ten years ago? The only time the Energizer Bunny was anything other than annoying.
That's my jacket!
The hologram one was that R2-D2 had a message for the guy, with the girlfriend telling him that he needed to scratch off the right part on the card so they could go on a cruise together.
There's also one where a Jedi (who kind of sounds like Obi-Wan, but his face is obscured by his hood) helps a kid open his ketchup packet. Then, in the May version, at least, Chewbacca creepily watches kids play with their SW toys.
Got a question for Hasbro? Ask it here!

Don't forget the classic faceoff between Darth Vader and that creepy Burger King on Mustafar, done Conan O'Brien/Max Weinberg style (where they just sit there and stare at each other for several minutes.)

Symposium marks opening of genomics lab and institute, Jan. 17
Posted January 10, 2003; 10:24 a.m.
Some of the world's top scientists in biology and medicine will gather Friday, Jan. 17, for a symposium to mark the opening of the Carl Icahn Laboratory and the Lewis-Sigler Institute for Integrative Genomics .The symposium, "Genomics: Connecting Basic Biology to Disease," will take place in A02 McDonnell Hall. It will start at 8:30 a.m. with opening remarks by President Tilghman, who was the institute's founding director, and by David Botstein, the institute's incoming director. Botstein will give closing remarks at 5 p.m.
The institute's Web site has more information about the schedule. Registration for the event has been closed. It will be simulcast into A01 McDonnell Hall and will be Webcast through the University's Webmedia site.
"My goal was to illustrate the extent to which this new kind of biology has application to disease," said Botstein, who will come to Princeton in July from Stanford University, where he is on the medical school faculty. "So what I have done is to invite the best people in these fields to come and tell us about their work with the idea that it would inform how genomics and quantitative biology are going to help us in understanding human disease."
Among the speakers are Lee Hartwell, who directs the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center of Seattle, Wash., and won the 2001 Nobel Prize in medicine; Eric Lander, a 1978 Princeton graduate who is the founder and director of the Whitehead Institute for Biomedical Research in Cambridge, Mass.; and Christiane Nusslein-Volhard, who won the 1995 Nobel Prize in medicine with Princeton biologist Eric Wieschaus and is director of genetics at the Max Planck Institute for Developmental Biology in Germany.

Sasha was eliminated on the June 11 episode of 'The Voice,' and I'm NOT happy about it. After taking on both Whitney Houston and Donna Summer, there's no way she should have gone home!
This season of The Voice has got to be one of the most shocking ever. While all the contestants are extremely talented, for some reason the better singers were sent home early. Then, right before the finale, we said goodbye to Sasha Allen — the most powerful singer on the entire show!
Sasha Allen: The Elimination That Shocked Us All
We all know I was really upset after the elimination of both Judith Hill and Sarah Simmons on May 28. I think it may have broken my heart, along with their coach Adam Levine's.
But I had faith because, along with Blake Shelton's amazing country team, we still had Shakira's bombshell, Sasha.
On June 3, the coaches dubbed her Sasha Fierce after her two super-powerful performances. She proved she was daring, taking on Aretha Franklin and Carrie Underwood.
Then on June 11, she took on the unthinkable — Whitney Houston's "I Will Always Love You," as well as Donna Summer's "Sexy Girls."
Honestly, those are four extremely difficult artists to take on. And not only did Sasha nail the vocals, but she also put on stunning performance after performance — always impressing and entertaining.
'The Voice' Final 3: Who Will Take It All?
After the eliminations, Team Adam and Team Shakira were officially out of the game. Now it's a three-way battle between country duo Swon Brothers and 16-year-old Danielle Bradbery — both members of Team Blake — and Usher's Michelle Chamuel.
While all three put on great performances last week, we've got a feeling that since Sasha is gone, it will come down to either Danielle or Michelle. Country fans love Danielle; at just 16, she has a strong voice and adorable charm.
Michelle, however, is loved by so many. She doesn't have the best voice, but has incredible energy and such a positive message for other young artists: Be yourself, and be the best you can be! It's definitely working; people are voting and loving her.
That leaves the Swon Brothers. As a country girl, I would definitely buy this duo's album; they have that adorable "Okie from Muskogee" charm and would really stand out in the country world. Unfortunately, what they don't have is the star factor of Michelle and Danielle.
HollywoodLifers, do you think Sasha should have made it to the finale?

I not going to dispute Sasha's talent. There were about 10 of the final 16 that I would not been surprised by their winning of which Sasha was one. What I'm annoyed with is how all three coaches who critiqued Sasha's "I will always Love You" referred to it as Whitney's song. Whitney sang it, but it was written and recorded and performed in a movie by another well known artist long before Whitney. Look it up.
My personal favorite, Sarah Simmons, every thing she sang was epic.

It's true. This is a popularity contest that mostly kids and young adults vote on and Sasha was the least popular. But she was by far the best singer. Didn't you notice Sasha's coming home party compared to the other contestants? She didn't have one. Just her and her kid and Andre 3000. No mayor gave her a key to the city. No awards, no pep-rallies. Just a modest underground concert. But that is who Sasha is. Modest, humble, and the best singer I have seen on the voice in 4 seasons.

What BLEW it for Sasha was when she went home to see her child…that was GOOD , but that spouse/boyfriend/lover or wharever…was super SCARY and should have not been profiled.
PS>>>Give it up Cher…You're done like dinner….pathetic voice, hair was horrid and her body and outfit..well you know what I mean…if you don't yuk!

Why isn't anyone saying anything about Amber? Clearly a better voice than Sasha… Not to deny Sasha's vocals, but no comparison in range. Sasha with all her hoopla covered some of her singing lacks. If Michelle wins it's because she is "different". I just jumped on to team Danielle. Rah

Don't know who the real voters are. The real singers ….seasoned singers who were examples of what the "Voice" use to be, were all sent packing. I think the show was rigged from the begining. The voting was off to me. The swam bros were a silly novility act yet they bet out real singers????
I stopped watching long ago but did read the headlines this morning. WOW!

What is America's "own race?" That doesn't make sense. I'm guessing you mean Caucasian because the majority of Americans are Caucasian. However, if that is what you mean, you would still be incorrect. In the first two seasons of The Voice, the winners were both African American.
Posted at 11:42 AM on June 13, 2013
Well, when I saw that the Swon Brothers' entire town came out in support of them, I predicted that they will be the winner. At this point it is all about the voting numbers. Let's face it, they have the numbers, not to mention the fact that they were inducted into a some kind of hall of fame…really??? Greatly disappointed that Sasha didn't advance to the finals and I won't be watching any more this season.

The "hall of fame" mentioned by PJ above isn't part of The Voice. The Swon Brothers received the Rising Star award from the Oklahoma Music Hall of Fame. For what it's worth, they both used to work there and Carrie Underwood, who initially was of American Idol fame, also received the same award in 2005.
I hope this helps,

The fact that Sasha OR Amber OR Judith didnt make it to the finals is just pure RICIDULOUSNESS at it's best! Clearly those three had the BEST voice. I may not watch next season…I just can't get with this way of deciding the winner. The person with the best VOICE should win. That SHOULD HAVE BEEN SASHA ALLEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The Swan Brothers – what a joke!

I was very, very surprised that Sasha Allen didn't make it to the finale, but that The Swon Brothers did. I've been making predictions since the Live Rounds started and have been correct every single week, until this shocker.
I don't know who I am pulling for more, Danielle or Michelle. Michelle's music matches my tastes and preferences, but I admit her singing abilities aren't as impressive as Danielle. However, Danielle's performances are not even close to Michelle's in terms of entertainment.
I would be happy with either of the two females winning.
(By the way, although I didn't think The Swon Brothers would make it this far when I watched them in the Blind Auditions, I do commend them for doing so.)

Posted at 3:00 PM on June 12, 2013
I wish she would have moved on too. I am still all in for Michelle, but having Sasha would have rounded out the genre's. Sasha is a talented lady. Michelle is awesome in talent and what she stands for. The bottom line is no one "should have" moved on except the people who got the most votes…that's how it works. I think the thing that turned me off of Sasha was stripping and borrowing Beyonce's Super Bowl Outfit. She "shouldn't have" done that then come back next week dressed like achurch choir girl….a bit confusing and seems just like sales tactics.

The legacy of San Francisco's Italian and Portuguese immigrants—many of them fishermen—lives on in this fuss-free take on the North Beach favorite, with fresh fennel adding a subtle touch of anise to the tomato-based seafood stew.
Leave a Review
The original link to this recipe is on taste spotting and the author mentions that he used chicken broth rather than water, so when I made this I did the same. I doubled the tomatoes, wine, broth and clam juice because I wanted to add orzo to the dish to make it heartier. For fish I used a half pound each of shrimp, bay scallops and then 10 each of mussels and clams. My hubby hates sourdough so I served it with regular dinner rolls. Bottom line- delicious and perfect for a cold winter night. I would absolutely make this again for a first course while entertaining or as a cold weather treat.
Good basics. Tarragon will work if you don't have fennel. Chicken broth will work if you don't have clam juice. We used the Costco frozen seafood mix others have and added a chunk of hake fillet. Went with a robust French red wine. But you have to give the broth time, before you add the seafood. It's comparatively quick and certainly easy, but the flavors in the broth should not be rushed, and don't add the seafood if the broth is crunchy in any way.
Made this exactly as written and it was very so-so. Too watery; I think the soup part would have been without the 1 1/2 C water. Next time I'll just make a different recipe.
Just made the recipe as written. Taste: not too bad. What threw me was its appearance. The red wine turned the whole thing an odd shade of purple...quite unappetizing. If I choose to try this again, will definitely use white wine instead.
This was so good my husband asked that I add it to the household repertoire. Followed the recipe without any alterations; quick, easy and wonderful on a winter week night.
i made this for new years eve last night and i was very disappointed...there was no flavor. i followed the instructions and i even let it simmer (w/out the fish) for 3 hrs to try and build flavor in the broth. i was so suprised after all of the rave reviews. i used cod, shrimp & clams. my friend from italy said he would have added 3-4x the amount of clam juice and possible some seafood stock.
We enjoy this dish frequently. Quick, fresh, and tasty. You can adjust ingredients to suit any taste. You want crab? Add crab! You want to use a cheap merlot instead of a bold zinfandel? Go ahead! This recipe abides. Whatever you do, be sure to serve crusty bread and butter alongside. Herb Caen described his ideal San Francisco lunch thusly: "A bowl of cioppino, fresh sourdough and butter, a glass of chablis, and take the afternoon off." Amen, Mr. Caen.
We used small clams in place of mussels and basil in place of dried thyme. We used a feisty Bourgogne Red. It was still excellent.
Gotta with agree with StevyD...where's the CRAB!?
I understand that names no longer mean anything and that Clam Sauce can now be made with Reindeer meat and still be called Clam Sauce. Yet in my family, ever since they arrived in San Francisco from Genoa, Italy in 1904, the cioppino we've always made was based on crab. Live Dungeness crabs from the Bay or nearby. Shrimp was alway present along with chunks of fish, and from there other seafood items were occasionally added but only rarely. For my family and many others, without crab, it's fish stew (Cacciucco maybe) but not cioppino.

Thread: Is 75 enough?
That's a rough looking fish :-(
A living example of a far better looking fish might be better ;-)
This is from the same site you linked on it's page about tank setup for Oscars:
If you are planning to keep Oscars then you really must provide them with an aquarium that is set up specifically to cater for their requirements. We always recommend going for the absolute largest tank you can afford, or house into your property. Many people seem to agree that 55 gallons is about the minimum size aquarium if you want to keep one adult Oscar. I would actually recommend no less than 75 gallons for one adult Oscar. The extra room will really benefit your fish and will significantly reduce the amount of maintenance needed if accompanied with a good filtration system. Once you start thinking about more than one Oscar then you are looking at tanks in excess of 100 gallons.Gas mileage isn't everything OIIIIIIIO
Lack of planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on my part.
Why pretend there are no stupid questions? Actually, There are many stupid questions: "Should I drink this bleach?" Is just one example.
Having said that, Just because it's a stupid question doesn't mean that it shouldn't be asked. It's better to know.
A warm beer is better than a cold beer. Because nothing is better than a cold beer, and a warm beer is better than nothing.
I'm certainly one of those people who would say a 75g is the absolute minimum for an adult oscar and I would only use that as a quarantine tank. This seems like the endless question about oscars - what's the minimum tank size, lol! The bigger the aquarium obviously the better off you're going to be. The fish in the 40g, I'm hoping it's just the angle of the photo, but it looks terrible! The poor fish looks stunted in length by a significant margin. From my experience, oscars which are kept in small tanks for too long will develop physical deformities. The typical situation is a large oscar in a 55g and when people bring them into the stores the fish always have problems. But this is just my experience - Each of us have our own - I say do whatever you want because we've all been there before :p220g South American

i raised my O to an adult in 55, then moved him with 2 buddies to a 125 with a orniate bichar.. that was a bit cramped, found a man getting rid of his 500 gallon saltwater tanks for 100 bucks, that cheap cause he didnt wanna help lift it, lol so in 500 i had 3 Os bichar and clown knife, i did have a BGK for a while till i changed it. everything seemed fine in 500, with 125 sump, 2 fx5s and 2 Emperor 400s on back. thats when i was 20, kept it less than a year and moved back home for collage. i miss it and will have another monster tank, as i am truely a monster fish keeper, now 23 back home giving a 75 communinty tank a try. wow sorry i went OT, but IMO a 75 is perfect min for an adutl O
my reaction to 500g for 100 bucks = then i started drooling think that i could fit so many mbuna.......Coastie-to-be... hopefully.
hey Northerly, i see you are NC, check the CL man, i got mine from Ashville, had to get a Penske truck to go get it.. i checked a week ago and there was a 125 for 75, just without a stand.. i drooled, i just cant fit a 125 in my room.. again soo sorry to go OT

Three students walked away with scholarship offers in hand, but all of them left with some important experience under their belts--experience in critical thinking, structured problem solving, and effective communication.Felipe Penna, Adam Ragheb, and Chris Angelica were named the top finishers, with Penna winning a two-year full-tuition and fees scholarship, Ragheb a one-year scholarship, and Angelica a $10,000 scholarship. "It was a great learning experience," says Angelica, an information technology professional who is pursuing an MBA with the goal of embarking on a career in IT consulting. "From doing the research to developing a framework for my ideas to practicing my presentation skills, preparing for the competition was a challenging intellectual exercise. And then actually making my presentation, thinking on my feet when questioned, and getting such helpful feedback from the judges made it a very positive and beneficial experience." Brian Precious, director of admissions, recruiting, and alumni relations for the MBA Program at ILLINOIS, says that was exactly what he hoped the competition experience would provide. "It takes a lot of courage to present in front of accomplished business professionals, especially before you have even begun an MBA program. But this is just what these students will be doing in business school--reading, analyzing, presenting, and defending. By presenting them with this opportunity, they not only had a chance to compete for a scholarship, but they also challenged themselves in a professional setting and met those who could be their future classmates, professors, and fellow alumni." Ragheb, a Ph.D. student in aerospace engineering who plans to earn dual degrees, agrees with Precious that the case competition was a challenge. "As an engineer, I know my strengths lie in analyzing numbers, so I was comfortable building my presentation on that," he says. "I also prepared by researching the product idea and its potential market and by examining videos from case competitions." Ragheb has already established a fairly defined career path, hoping to work for Boeing, and believes his Ph.D. will open doors to that goal and "an MBA from ILLINOIS will provide the high-quality business credentials necessary to be successful." Richard Mondragon, MBA '08, and a volunteer judge for the case competition, says if his own experience is any indication, Ragheb and other competitors who enter the program will find that an MBA from ILLINOIS provides those credentials and a lot more. "Not only did my experience provide the educational foundation and skill set I needed, there were additional benefits I hadn't counted on," says Mondragon, vice president of international business development, emerging markets, for Cooper Industries. "There's a structure to the program that keeps it focused on day-to-day relevance. An activity like this case competition is an example of that. It raises the bar for what we can expect from students, and it raises the bar for what they can expect from their ILLINOIS experience." Larry DeBrock, dean of the College of Business, echoes those sentiments. "At ILLINOIS, we believe in experiential learning," he told the competitors, the current MBA students, and the alumni who attended the case competition. "We want you to have every opportunity to hone the skills required to lead in business today. This scholarship case competition is a fresh and innovative approach to showcasing what the ILLINOIS experience is all about. Everything that you put into the program pays dividends." For the three winners, it paid--literally. But as Mondragon says, "There were no losers in this competition. All the students win by gaining valuable experience. The program wins by setting high expectations, and alumni win by having the opportunity to interact with and impact the future of the program."stats517 Views 0 Comments additional actions Add Comment

http://www.wivb.com/dpp/news/local/r...-buffalo-womenBUFFALO, N.Y. (WIVB) - Reggie Bush and the Miami Dolphins take on the Bills Thursday night at Ralph Wilson Stadium.
In prepping for the game, the running back decided to take a shot at the women of Buffalo during an interview with a local radio station in Florida. The interview was on the Paul and Young Ron Show.
One of the radio show hosts said, "It's going to be 30 to 40 degrees in Buffalo Thursday night, nice and clear....�
Bush said, �That�s warm for Buffalo.�
The host said, �That�s good football weather. Women will be out there topless in that weather.�
�You don�t want to see that,� said the another radio personality.
�No, God no,� said the host.�
Bush weighed in, saying, �Not Buffalo women."

I would like a prototype shield that you can stack and where the prototyping area is "outside" not "inside"typical size = 3x3 normal shields (get the idea?)It contains of course some holes to easily connect something mechanic e.g. a PING sensor or a servo o wheels or solar panel or lcd or rtc ...might give some balancing problems but still fun
Does that sound about right?

My comments are in red above.I do not disagree with a single word of your post. However, if you insert the word "government" before expenditure( which you imply) then I totally disagree with you. Obamacare has 16,000 pages of rules and regulations. It has over 2,000 waivers. I won't be surprised if the number of pages exceedes the tax code of over 70,000 within 10 years. 130,000 pages of procedure codes a doctor must use in order to bill for treatment. By the way the codes are 8 didgets. As I have said many times, the gov. has not, is not and never will be in the business of charity. It is in the business of rules, regulation, taxes, DEPENDENCE and CONTROL. I believe the underlying premise of both menmon's and my post is that the very mess of complexity is the result of legislators who might fairly be accused of seeking political and perhaps financial gain from seeing the legislation they created, fail
A simple question. Do many of your countrymen now cross the border to come here for treatment just to see our country or do they come here because your country denies them the freedom to hire a doctor for the treatment they desire, and does your country deny doctors the freedom to ply their legal trade to those who wish to pay them for their services? There are those who have the means pay and the desire to avoid waiting, There is also a category of cosmetic surgery tourists from the middle income demographic who travel to India for faces lifts, tummy tucks etc. from UK trained doctors who returned home to Mumbai and New Delhi to practice their medicine. The very notion of universal medical care is based upon doctors billing within the system...cosmetic care is in most cases elective and not constrained b the single pay model.
I once treated a patient from the former West Germany and another from Japan. The West german patient was here only for the summer. I asked her why she did not have the work done in her country and her response was that she could not get it done in her country because the national healthcare system did not provide it and she could not pay for it there. Neither patients' prior treatment would meet the dental standard or ordinary care in this country. I have a mouth full of crowns....the product of too many fillings and a desire to eat healthy whole grains. Our medical system does not cover routine non trauma oral care, I provide a supplemental HC plan for myself and our employees. I am unfamiliar with dental treatment in other countries however I have lived in Japan and can attest to an apparent hereditary propensity to malocclusion, not too dissimilar from conditions detected in Great Britain. For general medicine, Japan is regarded as the best state provider of health care on the planet
You might look at the cost of healthcare in this country as a % of GDP and you would see that it remained stable until gov. creation of medicare and medicaid in 1965 when the cost imediately began to increase at a sharp rate. For an insurance system to run effectively it must be adequately funded, this is from our Medical Service Provider web site:
"From January 1, 2012, to December 31, 2012 monthly rates are $64.00 for one person, $116.00 for a family of two and $128.00 for a family of three or more. Effective January 1, 2013, monthly rates are $66.50 for one person, $120.50 for a family of two and $133.00 for a family of three or more."
Our rates have been irrationally low; thirty five years ago the rate was, if I remember correctly about half this. Your government could rectify this without resorting to 16,000 pages of baffle gab. i have let my elected reps know that I would rather pay a reasonable price now than risk losing the system entirely due to underfunding.
Prior to 1965, we had a system where those who could pay did so and those who could not pay through no fault of their own, were treated through charity. It was not a perfect system but it worked in my opinion. If you were to go to a doctor and say that you knew that the treatment you needed was not covered by your gov. healthare system, would he please treat you free? I wonder what your opinion is as to what response you would receive. The only problem are with speed of access not the treatment or procedures themselves, however we do have a problem with cue jumping facilitated by physicians who want to make a premium over the standard rate. But as example closer to your question, in the field of Dentistry; before we joined a plan my dental work was on my dime, the rate for the same work increased by about 20% when I told my dentist I was now covered by insurance. When I asked him why the jump he just smiled and said "well now your covered, so price isn't an issue"
When I first went into practice in the 70's I did have patients come to me in need of care that said that they couldnot afford to pay me for some reason or another. Some wold promise to pay when they could. My response was to ask them if they were on medicaid. If the answer was no then my attitude was that if the government had decided that they were not needy then why should I think otherwise. Later I realized that it was not the government's responsibility to make such a decision for me. It was MY responsibility to determine who was needy and MY responsibility to deal with their care. I have no doubt that I made mistakes but this only made me more aware of my responsiblity. We need look for ways to perfect a single payer system which works, I have no doubt there are many of us in business on either side of our border who wish the government would do less/do more /do it right/ do it for less of our tax dollars. The thing is, can profit be placed ahead of healthcare? Lets face it other than addictive substances is there anything else easier to exploit for maximum profit than one's health? If you were robbed you wouldn't want 911 to demand proof of solvency or insurance coverage.
I don't know it to be true but I once read that the US was the only country that had a net positive expense of foreign aid. All other countries received more aid that they gave. Please don't think that we don't care about the health of our citizens. There are just many of us that believe the gov. is a poor vehicle to provide it. Take a look at the history of this country and I don't think you could believe otherwise. As far as local personal generosity goes I have no doubt with what you state other than, to counter that our society is too large and too complex to handle all issues of need on an ad hoc personal basis, again just to belabour the point; some communities rely on volunteer fire depts, but after a certain size they see the value in creating a funded firedepartment.
