Blar! A long-haired, proactive girl named Osana Najimi, who's actually childhood friends with a guy? Needless to say, my moe meter on this series is on OVER overload, lol!
And hey, it highly reminds me of Comic Party, which is a series I adore to death (Revolution especially is teh win IMO). That said though, the first eps hasn't impressed me as much as other shows this season. And while it's too early to tell, I really don't see how this show would arise from all others this season.

I can't believe there were no epic facial expression like the "Don't get cocky punk!" scene. Those expressions from the manga is one of the reason that made it amusing for me.
I found the first episode rather boring and that goes with the bgm. Hopefully that will change.

Well, I haven't read anything from the manga, but I hear alot of people that the manga was better.
Although the 1st ep. lasted for only 14 mins, it was hilarious. I enjoyed every bit of it.
(I follow the subs so I haven't seen ep.2)

Ep 1
Goddamn, that was awesome. I haven't read a great deal of Hiroyuki's stuff, but what I have read generally makes me seriously lol, and I have to say the same about this. Sure, it wasn't exceptional, but it did everything right, as far as comedy is concerned, and most of the jokes hit the right mark. The train sequence in particular was genius!
I think I'm going to enjoy this series...
Edit: And hooray for an ED sequence with dancing in it. That kind of reminds me of High School Girls, which I'd almost argue doesn't have a dissimilar style of humour to this (even though they dealt with totally different topics)

Episode 1 - As a whole, it's kind of flat but the setting in comiket got me interested. I never get tired of it. Think of genshiken, lucky star and NHK, all has comiket scene and are among my favourites.
As for ED, it's all backs, not comparable to joshikousei ED, and the highly rated lucky star OP and haruhi ED. Nevertheless, as long as it features comiket regularly, im up for next episodes.
I wouldn't want it to air in full half hour as I feel it will be dragging on with its flatness. 12 mins is just right.

I watched ep1 and it was very to my liking. It certainly had some funny parts like "yuri ja nai!" -.-
I heard that although the anime is 12 mins or so, there is some live action with the same length. Is it any good and what's the live action about (for those who're better in japanese)?

Hmmm well the first episode was cute enough only problem was I have and will always dislike half length episodes. *grumble*
Ah well ill try not to let it interfere too much with my enjoyment of this one. Id say tsuyuri in and of herself is enough to keep me watching.

Having a character named Osana Najimi means this is worth watching no matter what! Either that, or it's just a really cheap pun. Oh well, I liked it.
Full impressions here.

People can also see My Summary And Thoughts as well.
Just in case there was any doubt, this show is a definite keeper for me. I love the concept behind this series enough, but the comedy is good too for something so short.

I really enjoyed the first episode.
The comedy just pushes all the right buttons for me and we didn't meet any annoying characters or characters with annoying voices so far (the tiny living bloomer...thing is weird, though).
The highlights of the episode were of course the train scene, Najimi trying to sell the book and the scene where the announcer tells Najimi to get off the table as it's dangerous to stand on it. Oh, and the Panty Revolution!
Also, it really seems like Hiroyuki has a thing for lolis and bloomers.

The humour in this show appeals to me, even if it is a bit overdone. I agree with those who've picked up a Joshikousei vibe, particularly in the very catchy ED - incidentally, the singer Mizuhashi Mai is only 15 and also sang the Hitohira ED.

Lewiston just can't quench its thirst for history.
Water Street Landing proprietor Jon DiBernardo, event planner Melissa Morinello and Niagara River Region Chamber of Commerce Board Chairman Richard Haight met Thursday with more than two-dozen people, including several village restaurant representatives, members of the Historical Association of Lewiston and the Lewiston Council on the Arts, to unveil the new event celebrating history and, well, drinking. The first Lewiston Cocktail Festival will take place on Saturday, March 2.
"One of the first things I heard (upon coming to Lewiston eight years ago), was the culture and the history - War of 1812, Underground Railroad, all the different cultural festivals. But I kept hearing the underlying theme of the cocktail," DiBernardo said. " 'Oh, it was invented here.' I kept saying, 'Well, we've got to do something. Somebody's got to do something.' ... So finally I said it's time we do something."
A flier sent to those in attendance reads, "From the first moment Catherine Hustler plucked a peacock quill from the back wall of the Lewiston bar she was tending and stirred the spirits of a French soldier's libation some 200 years ago, things just haven't been the same.
"After numerous conversations, speculations, and roads paved with good intentions, it's time we let the world know the 'Cocktail Capital' ... the 'Mecca of Mixology' ... is none other than Lewiston, New York."
All details are tentative at this point, but it appears the Lewiston Cocktail Festival will be somewhat modeled after the popular Tour of Kitchens and Homes. Attendees will purchase a ticket and, during a set number of hours, visit participating restaurants and/or retail stores in whichever order they please. The pass is set to be priced at $25; each ticketholder would be entitled to a taste of a cocktail and perhaps more (food or some other discount).
"I think that this is a great opportunity to bring a lot of attention to this community," DiBernardo said.
"My objective is not to turn this into Mardi Gras. ... What I'm looking to do here is to bring a demographic of mature 25-year-olds to immature 70-year-olds," he added. "The goal is to bring every restaurant not just a cocktail business and alcohol business, but to bring them diners, as well."
As drinking is highlighted in the festival, it's expected the Barton Hill Hotel & Spa will offer patrons special overnight room rates for the weekend.
Morinello encouraged HAL and the LCA to get involved with the Lewiston Cocktail Festival.
"Catherine Hustler is really this character that has told the story of the history of the cocktail," she said.
Hustler's Tavern was located on the corner of Center and North Eighth streets (recently Dennis Brochey's Automotive). Exactly what Catherine did with the cocktail is unclear. Some say American soldiers raided a British commissary in Canada and took possession of a number of chickens and roosters, which Catherine roasted for dinner. In one variation of the story, when serving British soldiers at the bar, Catherine put a cock's tail in their cups to identify them to other patrons. In another tale, a U.S. soldier saw Catherine place a feather in a glass and asked for his own "cock tail."
Part of Catherine's story was repurposed for James Fenimore Cooper's book "The Spy."
"Catherine was not a native of here. She moved here. She could have invented the cocktail before she came to Lewiston, but this is where it was served," said HAL volunteer Lee Simonson. "This is where it was first recognized."
Catherine Hustler died in 1832 at the age of 70. She is buried in the Village of Lewiston.
Kathryn Serianni has portrayed Catherine Hustler as part of the LCA's "Marble Orchard Ghost Tours." She gave meeting guests an impromptu reading during Thursday's gathering.
DiBernardo said it's important Lewiston take control over Catherine's story, and ownership of the birth of the cocktail.
The Lewiston Cocktail Festival, he said, is a way to do that, and to boost business during a traditionally slow time of year.
"I think this is a rare opportunity," DiBernardo said. "If we just go narrow-minded and say, 'Let's sell a lot of drinks, here,' it's never going to work. And if you sit here and say, 'Let's have a historical whatever,' that's not going to work. Let's bring them together."
Further details on the Lewiston Cocktail Festival will be provided in the near future.
Businesses participating in the event will be asked to pay a $100 fee, which Morinello said would go into an overall budget to create a limited liability company and pay for marketing expenses. For the first go-around, the Chamber of Commerce will handle the money.
A portion of the proceeds may go to a charitable cause or a not-for-profit agency. That has yet to be determined.

Amazon.com CTO Werner Vogels recently made the case for big data computing in the cloud. But what else would you expect him to say?
The points made by Vogels are compelling, including a prediction that demand for big-data analysis is spurring interesting in real-time analytics. Enterprises thus need capacity; to Vogels, this means they need the public cloud -- Amazon's public cloud in particular. Vogels also said we can expect infrastructure like Hadoop to become invisible behind a cloud-provided analytics layer such as (of course) Amazon's Redshift.
[ Get the skinny on big data with InfoWorld's "Big Data Analytics Deep Dive" and "Hadoop Deep Dive" -- two PDF special reports you won't find anywhere else. | Stay up on the cloud with InfoWorld's Cloud Computing Report newsletter. ]
Vogels is half right today, and he could be completely correct in five years.
The reality is that big data is, well, big. Most enterprise have some sort of big data project under way, and they see much the same benefits as Vogels does, such as the move to real-time analytics, including predictive analytics that CIOs believe will add a huge amount of value to what enterprise IT can do.
Public cloud computing platforms are indeed compelling. Consider the instant scalability from using auto- and self-provisioning services and from using built-in big data services such as Hadoop. However, in reality, most of what can be called big data today is still very much in the enterprise data center. It may remain there for some time.
The reasons are understandable: The use of local data storage systems means that integration with operational data stores won't be as much of an issue as it would over an Internet connection. In many instances, using public clouds as the place to store huge amounts of enterprise data seems like a good idea, until you have to ship off the USB drives to the cloud provider and hope they load correctly.
Also, while I think security and compliance are typically solvable problems in public cloud computing, they are easier to work with if the data is local. Moreover, performance is better with local data because you're not dealing with the latency of sending requests and returning data sets over the open Internet. Finally, hardware and software are cheap these days, and the ROI of putting these systems on public cloud providers versus internal servers is not as persuasive as you might imagine.
Should you discount public clouds as an option for building big data systems? No -- for the first generation of big data systems, most enterprises shouldn't choose the cloud. But that calculus will change over time.

Car Deals
Luxury Car Deals: July 2014
If you're thinking about getting a new car, you may have cast aside luxury models for being too expensive. Our list of luxury car deals available this month proves otherwise. We've listed some excellent incentives and special offers available now on a few of our favorite luxury vehicles.
Acura TL
The midsize Acura TL is one of the brand's most popular models, offering V6 power, a roomy interior and a wide range of new technology. In July, the 2014 TL is offered with three incentives: two lease deals and a low-interest offer for qualified drivers looking to finance their next car. For lease shoppers, Acura is offering a 36-month term with payments from $359 per month after $2,499 down at lease signing. Drivers who would rather put nothing down can also get a new TL, though the sedan's monthly payment jumps to $420 per month. Finally, shoppers interested in financing a 2014 TL can get 0.9 percent interest for up to 36 months on all new TL models.
BMW 3 Series
The BMW 3 Series is a compact luxury sport sedan that offers a notoriously excellent driving experience. In July, the 3 Series offers 3.13 percent interest for up to 36 months for those looking to finance. That's a good deal, but it's eclipsed by the brand's lease offers. Drivers interested in leasing a base-level 320i get the best deal: BMW is offering a 36-month term with payments from $309 per month after $3,784 down at lease signing. For those interested in a bit more power, BMW is offering the 328i with payments from $329 per month after $4,054 down and the 335i from $409 per month after $4,134 down at signing.
Cadillac ATS
The Cadillac ATS is a small luxury sport sedan designed to compete with popular rivals such as the BMW 3 Series and Mercedes C-Class. In July, the ATS is available with a strong low-interest deal designed to entice qualified luxury-sport-sedan buyers. Through the end of the month, all 2014 ATS models can be had with 0 percent interest for up to 60 months. This is a rare deal in the luxury-car realm, where 0 percent financing isn't often available for such a long term. Unfortunately, Cadillac isn't offering any deals this month for shoppers looking to lease the ATS.
Lexus ES
The Lexus ES is a midsize luxury sedan that emphasizes smoothness and relaxation more than sporty driving characteristics or a bold look. In July, the ES offers two incentives to luxury-sedan shoppers interested in a good deal on a new model. Through the end of the month, Lexus is touting interest rates as low as 0.9 percent for up to 60 months on the 2014 ES 350, which is a good deal for qualified shoppers looking to finance. Meanwhile, lease shoppers can also get a good deal on the sedan with an available 27-month term with payments from $349 per month after $2,499 down at lease signing.
Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class
The compact Mercedes CLA-Class sedan is the brand's new entry-level model. With front-wheel drive, a 4-cylinder engine, and a starting price of around $31,000 with shipping, the CLA is the best bargain in the Mercedes lineup. A few lease incentives for July are making it even more attractive. The best deal is on the base-level CLA250 model, which offers a 36-month term with payments from $329 per month after $3,623 down at lease signing. Drivers can also get a deal on the CLA's 4MATIC all-wheel-drive model, which starts at $349 per month after $3,743 down at lease signing.

What it means to you: There are some excellent luxury car deals available this month on a wide variety of high-end new models.

The way now to buy them is off of craigslist or at auction.
I have a great Ziegel rifle case that I picked up about six months ago for forty bucks at an auction.
If you can find older vintage Zero Haliburton cases there is a decent collector market for them as well.

After Juan Manuel Marquez knocked out Manny Pacquiao last December, two story lines developed. One, Marquez – haunted by three previous fights against Manny – finally exorcised the demon that was the Pac Man from his life. The other was the ensuing doubt as to whether or not Pacquiao would ever be the same after that brutal one shot knockout loss.
One thing lost in the champagne celebratory showers was that Marquez had been in a dogfight against a frighteningly sharp puncher who was beating him up for the last five minutes and fifty-nine seconds of the fight. Even the most ardent Marquez fans would have to admit that it didn't look good for their man before he dropped the bomb with one second remaining in round six. Just how much did that brutal encounter take out of Marquez?
There is every reason to believe, if you contend Pacquiao is done, that Marquez just may be standing on shaky legs himself.
Marquez will be forty years old when he enters the ring against Timothy Bradley on October 12. The string of tough fights he's been in during the latter stages of his career ranks alongside any stellar resume in boxing.
As of 2013 Dinamita finally finds the Mexican spotlight shining brightly and directly on him, rather than Erik Morales or Marco Antonio Barrera – the other two Mexican idols who always seemed to overshadow him. Until the night Marquez picked himself up from off the canvas three times in the opening stanza of his first battle with Pacquiao. It was in that round and the eleven that followed that Marquez revealed the warrior spirit long hidden behind his technical brilliance.
Not only did Marquez give everything of himself in his fourth fight with his nemesis but the primal scream he let loose after the shot heard round the world may have been symbolic of a long suffering fighter finally purging himself of all his frustrations. Come Saturday he could find his gas tank on empty before the fight even heats up. So consumed with Pacquiao has Marquez been these last several years that his desire may now be tempered.
Even after beating Manny he still can't seem to stop talking about him and how exhilarating it felt when Pacquiao didn't get up. He's now become slightly obsessed with the fight itself because, in his mind, it was justice finally served. How can that insatiable hunger remain after such a dramatic event? And, again, age and wear and tear will one day win out.
In an odd twist, his opponent Timothy Bradley still has to talk about his fight with Pacquiao and justify the controversial decision win he was awarded back in June of 2012. That night, at the very least, should have garnered him the respect he so craves. He fought injured and never gave up. Instead, he got a decision that seemed to outrage everyone.
Bradley ruminated on this on HBO's 24/7 series, wryly commenting that had he not gotten the decision he may have been better off, despite believing he won. Hey, what's he supposed to say? He's a fighter with a pure heart and he's sick to death of trying to answer to a public still unsure of him and his abilities. Yet Bradley has fought increasingly tough competition and held his own in every struggle and, to be blunt, he shouldn't have to qualify his career accomplishments to people who don't know what it feels like to get whacked in the head or the gut by Manny Pacquiao or Ruslan Provodnikov.
Bradley has that frustration boiling in him that Marquez was finally able to rid himself of. He still has to prove himself and he knows it.
Marquez doesn't. His place in the hall of fame is already secure.
That's not to say Marquez will suddenly turn complacent or not give it everything he has left. His honor and integrity can't be questioned. It's just that the flame that spurned him on in so many trying times is not burning quite so intensely anymore. It can't – he won the only fight that really mattered to him.
Whichever fighter falls on Saturday night should take a page out of Manny's playbook. In the aftermath of both losses Pacquiao smiled and shrugged his shoulders. "That's boxing," he said both times.
Everyone's prime passes them by. Juan Manuel Marquez may or may not discover that against Timothy Bradley. If he does it shouldn't come as a surprise to him or anyone else. That's boxing after all.

Mayor's Office
The City will begin installing 1,400 new "smart" parking meters downtown Wednesday, March 6. Duncan Parking Solutions and three teams from Republic Parking will install the meters, and they hope to have the project completed by Monday, March 11.
Duncan Parking Solutions arrived in Lincoln February 19 and has been programming the meters for each location and testing their use for credit cards and coins. Duncan Solutions also had to replace and install new retainer plates in order for the new meter mechanisms to fit in the meter housing. The new meters will be solar-powered and programmable and will accept credit, debit and pre-paid parking cards and dollar coins in addition to dimes and quarters.
The City maintains about 2,300 parking meters downtown. The new meters will be installed generally in the area bounded by 7th, 16th, "M" and "R" streets. New meters also will be installed in the Haymarket lot north of "O" street and on 14th and "W" streets on the UNL campus. Some of the meters will be multi-space meters.
Beginning Monday, March 11, the hourly rate at all downtown meters will increase from 50 cents to $1, the first meter rate increase since 1995. After the rate change, City-owned parking garages will be the cheapest downtown parking option.
The new Liberty brand meters from Duncan Solutions cost about $500 each and another $6,000 for management and training. The expense is covered through the City parking fund, and no General Fund tax dollars are being used. The City Council approved the new meters and the rate increase as part of the budget process.
For more information on downtown parking, call Parking Services at 402-441-PARK (7275) or visit parkandgo.org.

Untitled 01
Untitled 01
In painting, my major concern is primarily a fundamental urge to create, and a willingness to break away from the cultural maze of submission to a fixed genre or to a pre- established and set style. In my surroundings, it has been necessary mentally and intellectually, to begin by de-structuring shapes and influences of other schools; then it has been necessary to undertake a complete dismantling of the written form (canons, cultural codes): letters, signs, messages, words and codes. It was a matter of trans-coding and breaking away with the scientific discourse of the visible verb and of the suggestive power of the stated and of the non-stated.
The question was first to bring back my own signs and codes inside the process of human knowledge and to merge all that does not pertain to my agiographic identity so that, through the act of creation, I succeed to signify upon the referent of the future orientation. Then, starting from a given point acknowledged by universal history, I was a concerned-conscious-witness within a cosmic temporality of a cultural entity which specificity has, for a long time, been confused with sclerosis and mimicry, with the effect of mummifying the creator in a downgraded position of inertia.
The use and acknowledgement of letters, signs or parts of letters in my work, has been the outcome of an intuitive attitude of non-submission to the authority of imposed values. Through its signifying presence which has grown into a code, the calligraphic sign, regains its position over the image and invites the viewer to decode-imagine-read the syntactic word in a context of relationships-presence and with an unconscious reaction and an instinctive resistance to receiving the aesthetic effect of the entire work which is offered. These are the conventional rules of the visible, the concrete, the absolute and the recognizable: comprehensible phonemes likely to lose their media suited meaning-code of psycho-sensorial human relationships, while the painting offers a formal wholeness, though abstract, of a specific definite and universal entity.
In the style and composition of a work in process, and with all the graphic schemes of Arab characters, away from the linguistic structures of the architectural montage of the verb and of phraseology, I subvert the rigidity entrapping the very laws and academic rules of calligraphy; values of a different time and of another epistemological system. What I am concerned with is to weave and to achieve a visual work from parts of a material (speaking code) after I have blocked all the a priori phonetic faculties and while retaining only the morphology of an aesthetic reflection. This obligation towards independence allows me to produce plastic combinations where the absence of prosaic matters urges to see-experience rather than penetrate-read. It is the world of signs which is disturbed: no signification - explanation, nor any designation to trivialize a memorised thought. With its distance from the word, the sign offers a new visual opportunity of a presence - material synthesis, signal - temporal - global graphics.
The negation of the signifier in the work, implicitly leads one to be aware of the aesthetic contours allowing a penetration and an understanding of the indicators. Any marked designation involves the use of the mind through a process of a structuralist approach towards language, and a removal from the immediate and sensual relationship of the individual to the work. The scanning process, which the viewer undertakes while decoding the signs in a work, is part of a cultural attitude of relationships of ownership and belonging.
The sign, an indication of a specific culture, is first felt, before it is perceived in its transcendence of suggestive appropriation transfer. For someone thrust in ambivalence generated by doubt and by the fear of not succeeding to recognize or to inhabit that which he has considered his, including heritage and cultural legacy, the absence of the word-mark-key and of the alteration of the reference discourse, creates a condition of mental impotency and of reduction of one's sense of personal boundary. Due to their conceptual approach, these rhythms and aesthetic writings generate new thinking orientations through which the viewer experiences his perceptive faculty, at the expense of his intuitive impulse. When the work is offered with its physical logic, all its material substances vibrate in unison and prompt both thinking and sensory growth. The extent of any form of desire is no longer necessarily expressed by appropriation but by degrees of internal sensitivity towards sentimental past experience.
To avoid classifying works of art in relation to subjectivities, to a definite time in history or to a determined group eliminates oneiric notions of space and paves the way for universal exchange. When it is a matter of making a choice and a decision with the aim of achieving a specific art, in the sense of another art, involving the impulsive drives which go beyond the superficial effect of inherent beauty, it is necessary to put aside all academic antagonisms. It is here an interrogation concerning temporal disorder during the achievement stages of a creation in process; a crack which could cause memory to wither under the effect of shock produced upon the being and its other. While human beings originally belong to the work.

Hybrids styles, containing features of both institutional and decorator styles, are common, especially in Asian pianos.
Grand pianos come in far fewer styles than verticals. As you shop, it is likely you will see only a few different styles, in a number of woods and finishes.
The traditional grand piano case is likely familiar to everyone. It has rather straight or slightly tapered legs, often flaring slightly just above the floor (called a spade leg), and usually a rather plain, solid music rack.
Victorian style (sometimes called Classic style) is an imitation of a style in fashion in the late 1800s, with large, round, fluted legs and a fancy, carved music desk. Variations of the Victorian style have "ice-cream cone" or other types of roundish legs.
As with verticals, grands also come in Queen Anne and French Provincial styles, with curved legs, and in other period styles. In addition to the leg style, these usually differ in the treatment of the music rack and cabinet embellishment as well.
Pianos come in a variety of woods, most commonly ebony (sometimes called ebonized), which is not actual ebony wood, but an inexpensive, sturdy veneer that has been painted black; as well as mahogany, cherry, walnut, and oak. Exotic woods include bubinga, rosewood, and many others, available on higher-priced uprights and grands. In pianos of lesser quality, sometimes a less expensive wood will be stained to look like a more expensive one. Pianos are also available in ivory or white, and it's often possible to special-order a piano in red, blue, or other colors.
In addition to the wood itself, the way the wood is finished also varies. Piano finishes come in either high polish (high gloss) or satin finishes. Satin reflects light but not images, whereas high polish is nearly mirror-like. Variations on satin include matte, which is completely flat (i.e., reflects no light), and open-pore finishes, common on European pianos, in which the grain is not filled in before finishing, leaving a slightly grainier texture. A few finishes are semigloss, which is partway between satin and high polish. As with furniture style, the finish is an entirely personal matter, though it should be noted that satin finishes tend to show fingerprints more than do high-polish finishes.
Most piano finishes are either lacquer or polyester. Lacquer was the finish on most pianos made in the first three-quarters of the 20th century, but it is gradually being supplanted by polyester. In my opinion, lacquer finishes—especially high-gloss lacquer—are more beautiful than polyester, but they scratch quite easily, whereas polyester is very durable. (Lacquer finishes can be repaired more easily.) Hand-rubbed satin lacquer is particularly elegant. Sometimes, when a customer desires a piano in a satin finish but the dealer has in stock only the high-polish polyester model, the dealer will offer to buff it down to a satin finish at a cost of $500 to $1,000. This is commonly done, and it works, but usually doesn't look as nice as the factory-made satin finish.

Weiner Not Dropping out of NYC Mayoral Race
Anthony Weiner says he's not dropping out of the New York City mayoral race in light of newly revealed explicit online correspondence with a young woman.
And his wife, Huma Abedin, is standing by him.
Weiner admitted on Tuesday to exchanging racy photos and having X-rated chats with a woman he met online. He had resigned his House seat in June 2011 after acknowledging having sexual conversations with at least a half-dozen women.
The newly revealed correspondence was posted Monday by the gossip website The Dirty. The woman involved was not identified. She says their online relationship began in July 2012 and lasted for six months.
Abedin says Weiner "made some horrible mistakes," but that she has forgiven him and believes in him.

Tenbosch House: 60s Scandinavian Style in Brussels
Newly opened in Brussels' posh Ixelles district, Tenbosch House is a B&B that offers lots of inspiration for lovers of Scandinavian design. Owners Cedric Meuris and Bernard Devaux hired architect Patrice Lemeret to transform two nineteenth-century houses into one open, airy hotel, while designers Michel Penneman and Catharina Eklof chose 1960s Scandinavian furniture to maintain a mod look throughout.
Among the classic 60s furniture, we spotted Hans Wegner chairs, Nisse Strinning shelves, and Poul Henningsen lighting. There are local references as well in the B&B's design — Belgian (and international) artwork appears in rooms and public spaces. The hotel strives to be "a place of serenity," one "that is small enough to care, yet spacious enough to give you freedom and calm."

Solution for "Too Many Clicks" Problem in EHR?
John Lynn is the Founder of the HealthcareScene.com blog network which currently consists of 10 blogs containing over 8000 articles with John having written over 4000 of the articles himself. These EMR and Healthcare IT related articles have been viewed over 16 million times. John also manages Healthcare IT Central and Healthcare IT Today, the leading career Health IT job board and blog. John is co-founder of InfluentialNetworks.com and Physia.com. John is highly involved in social media, and in addition to his blogs can also be found on Twitter: @techguy and @ehrandhit and LinkedIn.
I've long been intrigued by the complaint I hear from doctors about "too many clicks" in the EHR. Long time readers may even remember my piano analogy which looks at the issue of too many mouseclicks and keystrokes in EHR software. I still think that largely applies today.
With that said, I've been fascinated to watch the evolution of click free solutions like what Note Swift is offering. Many are familiar with Dragon Naturally speaking an in particular the Dragon Medical product. It does amazing voice recognition. What I love about NoteSwift is that it takes Dragon's voice recognition and integrates it naturally into the EHR interface.
Here's a demo video that was all done by voice using NoteSwift to illustrate how it works:
I think it's fascinating to see the evolution of these products. Plus, with things like Siri. "Ok Google", and even Amazon Echo,we're creating a culture of people who are use to using their voice to do things. So, that will help efforts like the one above.
No doubt doctors are blown away by the concept of documenting a patient visit with 1, 3, or 5 clicks. Now let me leave what's available today and think into the future. Imagine a video EHR which was voice enabled. The doctor could literally go into the room and using video, voice recognition, NLP, technologies like NoteSwift, connected devices, etc they could easily chart a note with no clicks. While that's not happening tomorrow, it's not as far fetched as you might imagine.

Americas get front-row seat for lunar eclipse
April 8, 2014
CAPE CANAVERAL, Florida (AP) — North and South America, get ready for the first eclipse of the year.
Next Tuesday morning, the moon will be eclipsed by Earth's shadow. This lunar eclipse will be visible across the Western Hemisphere. The total phase will last 78 minutes.
The moon will be rising in the western Pacific, and so only the last half of the eclipse will be visible. In much of Europe and Africa, the moon will be setting, so there won't much, if anything, to see.
On April 29, the Southern Hemisphere will be treated to a rare type of solar eclipse.
Tuesday's lunar eclipse may damage a NASA spacecraft that's been circling the moon since fall. But no worries: it's near the end of its mission.

"Snow White and the Seven Dwarves" is a classic tale that has been told many times.
'Snow White and the Seven Dwarves" is a classic tale that has been told many times.
Everyone remembers the Disney version, and last year there were two diametrically opposed takes on the big screen: the farcical comedy "Mirror, Mirror" and the grim and gritty "Snow White and the Huntsman."
The Spartanburg Youth Theatre, however, has its own spin with "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs of the Black Forest" on the David W. Reid Theater stage at the Chapman Cultural Center at 4:30 and 7 p.m. Friday and at 2 p.m. Saturday.
"This is a more modern version, very funny and cute but not scary," said Deana Neibert, managing director of the Youth Theatre.
The play was written by June Walker Rogers, and what her take has in common with Disney's is the names emphasizing the archetypal roles of the characters. There's the absent-minded king, King Absent Minded; the evil queen and stepmother is named Bella; she has a frantic servant, Maid Dim Witty; and Prince Charming is now Prince Goodhearted.
Aside from that, however, Neibert emphasizes that "this is not the Disney movie." It looks back to the original Grimms' version for inspiration, while having very post-modern, tongue-in-cheek commentary on fairy tales in general.
This youthful take is courtesy of the cast and crew, ranging from third- to 12th-graders.
"We're proud of the fact that there aren't any adult actors," Neibert said.
This cast includes students from all over Spartanburg County, with some driving "20 to 30 minutes for rehearsals every night."
Blair Cadden, a senior theater major at Wofford College, directs "Snow White."
This is her second time directing for the Spartanburg Youth Theatre, having directed "Charlotte's Web" in 2011. Her approach this time is informed, however, by having spent last fall at the Moscow Art Theatre School.
"My focus was on acting, but I got to watch a ton of theater," she said. "It's really no-holds-barred there, very brave."
Although she's mostly applying that to her work with adults at Wofford, she is keeping it in mind with this show.
"We're taking into account the gender politics and representations of beauty," Cadden said of the old-fashioned tale. "I've had a lot of great talks with the cast, mostly the high-schoolers, about how we think about love and looks." That means circumventing elements of the Disney movie.
"Our prince, for instance, is very conceited and is humbled by the very kind Snow White," she said. "Our queen, as well, gets a chance to be redeemed by gaining a bit of self-awareness at the end and realizing there are worthier pursuits than vanity."
That doesn't mean the show won't be fun.
"It's for kids of all ages," Neibert said. "There's humor that adults will find funny, and stuff that kids won't get."
Modern pop songs played over scenes and the costumes, designed by a parent volunteer, are the biggest indicators of the tone.
"They're very outlandish," said Neibert, especially the animal costumes that are more about evoking defining characteristics than realism.

Has Eagles offensive coordinator Marty Mornhinweg emerged as one of the favorites to become the next head coach of the Oakland Raiders?
That seems to be the case from a variety of reports over the weekend following Mornhinweg's interview with new Raiders GM Reggie McKenzie on Friday. ESPN's Adam Schefter, citing multiple sources said Mornhinweg was "impressive" in the interview. The National Football Post's Dan Pompei said Mornhinweg is a "strong candidate."
Mornhinweg worked with McKenzie in Green Bay and was the quarterbacks coach when the Packers won the Super Bowl with Brett Favre.
The candidates are almost split evenly with those with an offensive background and those with a defensive background, but reports in the Bay Area suggest McKenzie and Mark Davis, Al's son, might be looking for an offensive coach. The presumed favorite had been Packers assistant head coach/linebackers coach Winston Moss.
The San Francisco Chronicle reports there are "whispers" that the Raiders would like to have a coach in place by the end of the week. ESPN also reported that timetable.
Three others have already interviewed -- Dolphins interim coach Todd Bowles, Saints offensive coordinator Peter Carmichael Jr. and Broncos defensive coordinator Dennis Allen, who is scheduled for a second interview this week at the Senior Bowl, according to ESPN. Former Vikings coach Mike Tice is scheduled to interview tomorrow at the Senior Bowl in Mobile. The Raiders also have received permission to talk to Packers defensive coordinator Dom Capers, according to CBS' Charley Casserly, although that interview has not happened.
Mornhinweg is from the Bay Area and spent four years on the coaching staff of the 49ers before his ill-fated turn as head coach of the Detroit Lions.

Honors grad takes the world by storm Hess teaching students from around the globe
Ashleigh Hess, a 2009 Oklahoma Christian University Honors Program graduate, has left Oklahoma to explore the Spanish world.
Ashleigh began learning Spanish as a second language when she was 12 years old … and soon fell in love with the culture.
During her time at Oklahoma Christian, Ashleigh taught English to several Spanish-speaking staff members and helped start Spanish Chapel. She was involved in numerous educational and cultural organizations, including Teaching English as a Foreign Language (TEFL), Spanish Club and programs through the Department of Language and Literature.
"I came to OC with a goal to major in teaching English, with an interest in studying Spanish, and with a desire to learn so I'd be prepared for my future," Ashleigh said. "But my education at OC became about much more than a career. My mentors and professors in the Language and Literature department really challenged me to use my interests and passions as a way to serve my community and show the love of Christ to others."
Ashleigh said she always dreamed of traveling to Spain after all the time she spent learning about the Spanish culture.
"It was the most exotic, yet familiar place I could think of," Ashleigh said. "There is a Czech proverb that says, 'Learn a new language, get a new soul.' For me, learning Spanish was not just a subject in school, but a connection."
OC faculty members encouraged Ashleigh to study abroad, so she applied to the Latin American Studies Program in Costa Rica through the Council for Christian Colleges & Universities (CCCU).
"This is something that forever marked my heart, leaving it not only in Costa Rica, but also in Panama and Nicaragua," Ashleigh said. "It was life-changing to learn about political, religious and economic history, sustainable living, indigenous cultures and languages, as well as the day-to-day lives of the people through the eyes of another culture and the ears of another language."
Those experiences led Ashleigh to work towards her Master of Arts in Spanish and Latin American Studies at American University in Washington, D.C.
"Not only did I dive into criticizing and writing about the literature of Latin America, literature became the outlet for learning about how historical happenings play out in today's Spanish-speaking world and how Spanish speakers in Latin America, North America and Spain are connected," she said.
Ashleigh said her time in graduate school led her to become involved in a local D.C. community of El Salvadorian adolescents, giving her an outlook on life from a multicultural perspective.
A friend introduced her to the Teaching English in Spain Program, an opportunity that would allow Ashleigh to live out her dream of traveling to Spain.
Ashleigh is now in her second year at a primary bilingual school in Madrid. She teaches English to students from all over the globe, including Columbia, Israel, Morocco, Peru and Romania. She teaches students whose first languages are Arabic, English, Hebrew, Romanian or Spanish.
"It's been everything but easy, yet one of the most beautiful experiences," Ashleigh said. "It's truly a job that I connect to. Teaching in a school provides me with a learning curve unlike anything I've ever experienced. I'm relearning everything that we learn in elementary school and subsequently forget."
Ashleigh said learning is a lifelong process, and that she learns more as a teacher all the time. She said she sees the opportunity to create a successful environment for students to learn, think, understand and communicate, while giving teachers the tools to educate globally-minded citizens through diverse experiences.
"I want my life to be rooted in my faith and my love for God," she said. "My faith is what carries me to serve multicultural and multilingual students and communities, and help them continue to grow."
Ashleigh has the opportunity to pursue a doctorate, focusing on educational anthropology or education and cultural studies. One of her former OC professors, Dr. Scott LaMascus, has consulted Ashleigh in her application to Ph.D. programs.
LaMascus, now OC's vice president for academic affairs, said Ashleigh's academic history, fieldwork experience, and heart and soul make Ashleigh a great Ph.D. candidate. He also said she is a wonderful example of OC's mission.
"I'm definitely on a journey," Ashleigh said. "Whether that journey will lead me to pursuing a Ph.D., teaching in my hometown, or exploring more about political and economic impacts in Latin America, I'm unsure. But God is using me in all of these things to connect with people in a one-to-one level, creating relationships and relating his love."

Re: Düpa Do - The Sutra which Gathers All Intentions
Posted: Mon Apr 23, 2012 10:16 pm
The main cycle is during 2 weeks and can have intro into Rigpa. Nevertheless it is possible to do khordo rushen after one took even one-day special initiation with 4 empowerments which is like the extraction for the new ones or conservation of the cycle for ones who had the main initations. Of course before it one should to do at least 10% of ngondro. Rinpoche every time before the dzogchen retreat, like for example in retreat of trekcho in Poland this year, gives this kind of short initiation. Perhaps in France it will be the same and khordo rushen will be provided by other lama chosen for it by Rinpoche this year. These informations are not restricted. Here you can ask http://www.facebook.com/groups/102450324908/ The details of the practice, instructions, are for initatied only. Main site: http://www.yeshekhorlo.org/ .Pero wrote:

February 20th of this year marked the 9th anniversary of the Station Nightclub fire, the fourth, largest, nightclub fire in America's history. Unfortunately, this date will also mark a milestone in the ongoing saga that has included the most egregious series of injustices, corruption and failure this state has ever known.
Over the 3,285 days since the fire, Rhode Island citizens have been witness to a unique and disturbing pasquinade, which has included a pseudo-proscecution by a stunningly incompetent Attorney General who showed during his entire tenure that he was less a court officer, and more a court jester. His prosecutorial fiasco allowed at least one of those who should have been charged to not only avoid arrest and proscecution. But to slink away to Florida to live happily ever after on a state funded disability pension. In addition, our citizens witnessed illegal and immoral rulings and judicial misconduct by a Judge whose singular qualification for the bench was the only one required in Rhode Island -he had been a loyal and connected political hack.
Then we experienced the stunning insult of a politically weighted Rhode Island Parole board, who when challenged about denying victim's families the right to a hearing on the early release of one of only three people charged in this case, offered the specious excuse that the board was some how 'protecting' the families from additional trauma. Shame on them.
But its not over yet. One of the most shameful aspects of this tragedy is the questionable fate of the Station Fire Memorial site itself. After being assured by the property owner's attorneys that this land would be donated to the victim's families in order to construct a living reminder of what happens when people choose profit over safety, the owner has now refused to make good on his promise. This selfish and misguided decision has left the future of this cherished and esteemed site frozen in time.
Without the deed to this property, The Station Fire Memorial Foundation can no longer ethically or morally continue to raise funds or work to deliver on any of the promises previously made to victims and their families. Without ownership Bob Weygand and the URI architects who have offered to redesign the site, cannot even take the first measurement. Without the title in hand, Build RI and the hundreds of Union volunteers who have offered to transform that site cannot begin their work. Without the rights to this property nothing can move forward.
The abysmal investigations are over. The insulting jail sentences have been served. The torturous Civil suits have finally been settled. Now, we are left with only one question. Will someone step forward to do the right thing or will this too end as just another heartbreaking disappointment?

Accuretic Savings Tips
Combination Drugs Cost More
This drug is a combination of two (or more) separate drugs.
The active ingredients in this combination drug may be less expensive if prescribed separately. This typically happens because the combination drug is not yet available as a generic, while the active ingredients of this drug are each available as cheaper generics.
Check GoodRx to see if taking quinapril and hydrochlorothiazide instead can lower your costs.
Fill a 90-Day Supply to Save
You may find that filling a 90-day supply will reduce your total cost for this prescription. As an added bonus, you'll make fewer trips to the pharmacy, saving you time and money.
If you have insurance or Medicare, you may find that you receive lower prices if you fill your prescriptions through your plan's mail order pharmacy. Many insurance plans (and most Medicare plans) are now offering similar rates at a select group of "preferred" retail pharmacies. Some plans may require that you fill through a mail order pharmacy for fills of more than a 30-day supply.
To switch to 90-day fills, note that you'll need a new prescription from your doctor; a 30-day quantity prescription will not allow 90-day fills.
Split a Higher Dosage Pill
You may be able to save up to 50% each month by splitting a higher dosage of this drug.
Here's how it works: Imagine you take the 20mg dosage of a certain drug. While it may seem odd, the 40mg version of the same drug typically does not cost twice as much as the 20mg—in fact, it often costs the exact same amount!
You'll need to ask your doctor if pill splitting is a good idea for your prescription; if so, he'll need to adjust your prescription accordingly.
Some important things to consider before pill splitting:
- Pill splitters can be bought at most pharmacies for around $5.
- Some immediate-release tablets may be split, and tablets that are scored have been evaluated by the FDA for safety.
- Not all pills can be split. Don't split drugs with an enteric coating (designed to protect the stomach), drugs that are time-release or long-acting, drugs taken more often than once a day, drugs in capsules, and prepackaged drugs in specific doses, like birth control pills.
- Pill splitting is also not recommended for situations where the patient might not understand the concept or be capable of splitting a pill.
Be sure to check with your doctor or pharmacist when in doubt.
Lower Cost Alternative
There may be other prescriptions in the same class (that work in the same way) that could treat your condition just as well at a much lower cost.
If you're taking an expensive brand-name-only drug, it may be worth asking your doctor if there are any other less expensive, generic, or over-the-counter options that might work for you.

Test data for impact on material A533B wm at -70 Celsius and a notch impact energy of 8 J
The Network for Evaluating Structural Components (NESC) coordinated extensive materials testing and fracture analyses performed by a group of twenty European organizations. The NESC-IV project addressed the transferability of fracture toughness data from laboratory specimens to applications that assess the integrity of reactor pressure vessels subjected to upset and normal loading transients. The coordinated experimental and analytical program drew from major elements of the biaxial features testing program conducted by the Heavy Section Steel Technology Program at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory. In this context, the JRC performed impact and tensile tests in the temperature range -90 to 80ºC on type A533B ferritic steel.

A teenager has won a top science award after he built a DNA testing machine – to discover why his brother has red hair but he does not.
Fred Turner, 17, was determined to find a scientific explanation for the fact that his locks are straight and brown while 14-year-old Gus has ginger curls.
So he spent almost a year building the complex equipment – called a Polymerase Chain Reaction machine – using bits and bobs he found around his home, including an old video recorder.
His ingenuity impressed scientists so much, he has now been crowned UK Young Engineer of the Year.
He has also been getting calls from scientific researchers eager to use his home-made machine.
A commercial model would cost £3,000, but Fred built his in his bed- room for £450.
He said: "After years of jokes from friends saying me and Gus had diff- erent dads, I built the machine to test once and for all why he's ginger and I'm not. The theory is red hair appears in people with a mutated gene.
"I collected DNA from my brother's cheek using a swab. The machine makes copies of this DNA so you can test how it reacts under different temperatures.
"Heating and cooling the sample allows you to separate the DNA, so I was able to see if mine was different to his.
"I discovered Gus does have the mutated gene which explains why he's ginger and I'm not."
Fred, of Brighouse, West Yorks, managed to fit in working on his "DNA photocopier" with a part-time job as well as his studies for five A-levels.
He said: "At home the only tools I had were a drill, a saw and a file, so it looked a bit rough around the edges.
"But in the end I was just pleased that it worked."
The young inventor was inspired by his parents – account manager mum Louise, 49, and businessman dad David, 50.
Fred said: "They both took me to science museums when I was younger. They've always encouraged my interests."
His passion for science will continue at Oxford University, where he'll be studying biochemistry in September.
He said: "I'm not sure where I'll be in 10 years, but I'd like to run my own technology business."
Ginger gene
Redhead capital of the world is Scotland – 13% of Scots are ginger against just 4% in Western Europe as a whole.
Red hair is caused by a recessive gene on chromosome 16 and has high levels of pigment pheomelanin.
The MC1R variant gene is also linked to freckles.

A group of Republican lawmakers, state Sen. Norman Sanderson, R-Pamlico, among them, wants governments across North Carolina to get serious about transparency. They have filed a bill that, if passed, will make it a crime to be secretive about the public's business.
A group of Republican lawmakers, state Sen. Norman Sanderson, R-Pamlico, among them, wants governments across North Carolina to get serious about transparency. They have filed a bill that, if passed, will make it a crime to be secretive about the public's business.
You won�t be surprised to know that the Sun Journal and other media support this bill. Our job, protected by the First Amendment, is to serve as the watchdog of government and to report our findings to you so that you are kept informed which you don�t have the time to watch over government yourself.
Government transparency isn�t only about media access, however. It�s about you and your right to know about your government.
Senate Bill 125 makes violating North Carolina open meetings and public records laws a misdemeanor. The punishment for breaking these laws is $200 and up to 10 days in jail.
Why should you care about transparency laws?
It�s simple. Openness is the best way to protect the freedoms that come with democracy.
State law already makes government meetings open to the public with few exceptions. Even when the doors to government meetings are legally closed to the public, officials must record minutes and return to open session before taking a vote.
Transparency laws also ensure that you have access to your government�s records and other information so that you know what your government is doing.
In America, elected officials and government employees have no special status that gives then access to information about the public. Operating in secrecy is wrong and against the law.
It is your government and your money paying for government.
Currently, the only thing you can do when you are denied access to government meetings and information is to sue. That�s costly, almost always beyond the means of most people both in money and in time. Even if you win in court, there�s no guarantee that the judge will award you legal fees. If you did win those fees, they would be paid with government money, and government money is money that comes from you and other taxpayers. In effect, you�d be paying your own legal fees no matter which way the case turned out.
Putting some teeth in North Carolina transparency laws isn�t only to punish officials and government employees who violate them. It will encourage government to educate both elected officials and employees to know the law and abide by it.
Many times, violations occur because people in government are not knowledgeable of the law. When it�s their job, they should be, and government leaders have no excuse for failing to educate themselves and their employees.
The public should not have to fight to attend government meetings or for access to information that already is theirs under the law.
Senate Bill 125 is a good bill that reinforces your right to know about your government. Legislators should approve it quickly and, by making it the law, demonstrate that they understand the importance of transparency to the freedom that defines American and the American way of life.

Corey Taylor Discusses Upcoming Slipknot and Stone Sour Albums
Slipknot are currently headlining the Mayhem Festival, their first U.S. shows since the tragic 2010 death of the band's bassist Paul Gray. In advance of the Mayhem show Friday (July 6) in Arizona, frontman Corey Taylor spoke with the Phoenix New Times about a number of topics, including upcoming albums from Slipknot and Stone Sour.
As far as Slipknot are concerned, there are no definitive plans for a new disc, but Taylor says playing live shows is the first step toward making a new album. "The band took a pretty big hit with the loss of Paul and we're just doing what we can to carry on in his memory," explains Taylor. "And part of that is coming back together as a band. The more tours that we do the more we try to make sense of it all. We're just taking baby steps and trying to do it right. Not rush into anything, and just get to a point where we're ready to make music without Paul."
When it comes to Taylor's other band, Stone Sour, plans are in place to release a double concept album called 'House of Gold and Bones,' with disc one dropping in October and disc two coming out in 2013. "It's really a morality play,' says Taylor of the upcoming effort. "It's about a person trying to find himself, or herself. You know, everyone in their lives finds themselves inevitably at a crossroads when it comes to personal evolution and whatnot. Trying to figure out what they want to do with the rest of their lives."
In the meantime, Slipknot will be releasing a compilation album 'Antennas To Hell' on July 24. It includes the band's greatest hits along with a bonus live CD.
Meanwhile, Taylor's Slipknot bandmate Shawn 'Clown' Crahan is making stops at book stores to sign his recently released photography book, 'The Apocalyptic Nightmare Journey.' As you can see in the photo below, Taylor, whose own book 'Seven Deadly Sins' was released last year, came out to support Crahan at the L.A. signing.

Like the App Store, the Marketplace is also governed by a number of terms, and in those, Microsoft makes it very clear - without mincing words - that it doesn't want any GPL'd code in the Marketplace. Article 5, point e of the Application Provider Agreement is what it's all about.
"The Application must not include software, documentation, or other materials that, in whole or in part, are governed by or subject to an Excluded License, or that would otherwise cause the Application to be subject to the terms of an Excluded License," it states.
This item is useless by itself, since it's not yet clear what an Excluded License is. Well, this term has been defined at the beginning of the document, and there, Microsoft makes it quite clear.
You can't really get much clearer than that, can you?
This is obviously not cool, but from the wording it becomes clear that this is not some super dastardly plan to destroy the GPL (I'm out of tinfoil, sadly), but more about covering their bases. Since Microsoft is a distributor of the software in question, it must also comply with the GPL; it must make the source code available upon request if someone so desires. I think Microsoft simply doesn't want to deal with that - in the same way Apple doesn't want to deal with it - and as such, prohibits you from distributing GPL code through the Marketplace.
While I'm actually quite sad about this, I do have to give them one prop for being clear, open, and honest about it. Of course, they'd get massive props if they came up with a way to make GPL code compatible with the Marketplace.

|lypo friendly first regimen
May 20, 2004
Dear Doc,
I am about to start my first regimen and was wondering about the possiblities of lypodistrophy with sustiva/viread/emtriva. How likely is it to develop sunken cheeks on it the first year and then as I continue on it for longer periods of time?
Response from Dr. Moyle
Available clinical trials data suggest the this combination or abacavir/3TC/efavirenz represent the two lowest risk regimens for fat loss whilst also doing the job regarding controlloing the virus and being the most compact and convenient regimens. So I think it is a good choice and as low risk as could be.
Kind regards

Durango City Councilor Sweetie Marbury took on the mayor of Colorados largest city when she asked when Denver was going to do something about plastic bags.
Today! responded Denver Mayor Michael Hancock jokingly during a convention of the Colorado Municipal League this summer in Breckenridge, according to an account in the DenverWestword newspaper.
Durango got a double-barrel blast of Marbury moxie last week when she pushed for a ban on plastic bags at a City Council meeting and then later went to a meeting on the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, where she confronted two audience members who were barraging the speaker with criticisms about the law.
When Marbury reminded the critics that the purpose of the hearing was for information, not debate, she was awarded with applause.
Proof that Marbury is not afraid to take a controversial position can be seen in her stand in favor of banning plastic bags, a measure opposed by 112 members of the Durango Chamber of Commerce while 83 members support it, said Jack Llewellyn, executive director of the chamber, who polled members last week.
Opponents made comments to Llewellyn such as, We have other things to worry about and Government should stay out of our lives.
A Texas native with a bartender brother named Bubba, Marbury is like a character from a gritty Dixie Chicks song who is not ready to back down.
You cant scare me, Im a teacher is a bumper sticker on her refrigerator.
When running for office, an opponent stole her campaign signs. In the middle of winter, the high school drama teacher replanted new signs in frozen ground.
Because she got the second-most votes in the city election in 2011, Marbury will be Mayor Sweetie in about two years if city councilors stick to their protocol for rotating the mayors gavel.
She lives with a German shepherd named Leo in a cozy West Second Avenue bungalow built in 1907. Theres no grass in the front yard. Instead, its completely covered with flowers, modeled after the landscaping at Anne Hathaways cottage in England.
Marbury also planted hydrangeas after seeing them at James Madisons Montpelier estate in Virginia. She collects antique milk-glass dishes and subscribes to the New Yorker magazine.
This March, Marbury vacationed in Maui, wearing a Hawaiian shirt to a City Council meeting upon her return.
She considers herself an introvert who is just very passionate, but her little sister, Debbie Norris, however, calls Sweetie opinionated and hard-headed.
Some Marbury indignation flared at the annual board meeting of the La Plata Electric Association in May when Marbury spoke out against an increase in the base rate, which has infuriated conservationists because its an increase not based on energy consumption.
During the meeting at the Sky Ute Casino and Resort, Marbury, 65, spoke up for all seniors in the conference hall living on fixed incomes.
Marbuy said she is now living on a fixed income, too, since she retired from a teaching job in New Mexico this spring. She made her decision the same week as her friend and Durango School District 9-R board member, Carla Ann Mulkey, died unexpectedly from a heart condition.
The teaching job in Kirtland, N.M., followed an earlier retirement from teaching theater at Montezuma-Cortez High School for 25 years. A lover of musicals such as Guys and Dolls, Marbury was inducted into the Colorado Thespians Hall of Fame.
Marbury considers it a privilege to live in Colorado. She said she is a typical tourist who came here on vacation and ended up staying. She has one son, Dru English, a local bartender.
Because her dad told her she had to be tough to live in the West, she feels sometimes she stayed here to spite him. Her father, Mack Marbury, nicknamed her Sweetie before she was born and the name stuck, even though her legal name is Anita. If someone called her house and asked for Anita, she would not answer to it, she said.
Marbury said her winter sport is shoveling snow, often getting on the roof. She once comforted an elderly man in a car wreck for 45 minutes until help could arrive on the mountain road to Cortez.
Marbury got her start in city politics in the late 1980s when she protested a city plan to sell Brookside Park as a location for a Wendys restaurant. She kept going to city meetings, speaking out in favor of medical marijuana and nagging the city to expand its recycling.
As an environmentalist, she respects how all life is inner-connected. She realized its a very small world during a vacation in Paris. At a sidewalk cafe, she struck up a conversation with another American tourist, who turned out to be from Ouray.
As the daughter of Depression-era parents, she does not like to waste anything. She fixed a 1950 International pickup that she found for sale for $3,000 on the side of the road in New Mexico.
She uses it to haul mulch. If Marbury ever has a granddaughter, she is going to give it to her.
Every girl needs a truck, she said.

The bobcat involved in the attack of a Causeway Street man Monday night has tested positive for rabies, according to the state Department of Health.
Michael Votruba of 441 Causeway St. said he was able to fend off the bobcat, and eventually shot the animal several times until it died.
Mr. Votruba said he didn�t feel as if he had been injured in the immediate aftermath; he had holes in his shirt, but his chest was not scratched. He had a scrape on his elbow. He said he went to UMass Memorial Medical Center � University Campus in Worcester, where he said he received seven rabies shots and a tetanus booster shot.
The Holden man got home from work Monday, got out of his pickup truck and went to the passenger side to grab his things when he saw an animal scurry across the yard and into a small passageway between the carport and his house.
This is the second rabid bobcat attack in the region this year. Roger Mundell Jr. was attacked at his home in Brookfield in January, suffering bites on his forehead and eyelids. After the animal bit Mundell�s 15-year-old nephew, Mundell choked the animal, and then retrieved a firearm and shot it to death. Tests on the cat later revealed it had been infected with rabies.
Despite the two recent attacks, state wildlife officials say it�s extremely rare to see a bobcat because they tend to avoid humans.
�Bobcats are shy and secretive, and they avoid people,� said Tom O�Shea, assistant director of wildlife, Massachusetts Division of Fisheries and Wildlife. �It�s rare that bobcats show aggression to people.�
Mr. Shea said that because of the attacks and what seems to be a growing bobcat population in the state, wildlife experts are watching and tracking trends and collecting samples from the state lab. Federal wildlife officials estimate there are 1,200 to 1,300 bobcats in Massachusetts.
�It�s hard to say for sure,� Mr. Shea said. �The (bobcat) population has probably increased over the decade.�
The best bobcat habitats are forests, swamps and brushy areas in the central and western parts of the state, Mr. Shea said, though he added that wildlife experts are hearing about more sightings in Eastern Massachusetts. Bobcats are most often seen at dusk and dawn.
�The best thing you can do is avoid them,� Mr. Shea said. He said anyone who spots a bobcat out of its habitat should contact authorities.
�And anyone who is attacked by a bobcat should assume there is a high likelihood of rabies, and they should go get treatment,� Mr. Shea said.
