Is It The Best Gaming Laptop For The Money?
This is a full review of the Acer Predator 17 (G9-793-79PE) Gaming Laptop. This laptop is full of high end specs and does a great job with most game titles. It sports an aggressive black and red design and has a very recognizable look. The Predator 17 is a 17.3" notebook that comes with a Core i7 6700HQ, Nvidia GTX1060 6GB GDDR5, 16GB ram, and 256GB m.2 SSD, and 1TB Storage drive. The GTX 1060 has a drastic performance increase over the GTX1050 and GTX 1050 ti, which makes allows the Predator 15/17 to rip through games at max settings with ease. The Predator 15 has the exact same specs but just comes with a 15.6" display instead of 17.3".
This laptop is priced lower than most comparable laptops with similar specs, which makes it a great deal.

Congressman Ami Bera Endorses Jessica Morse for Congress
Tom McClintock's own Congressman sides with Morse over who can best represent community
Wednesday, July 11th, 2018
Makaiah Mohler, (530) 913-3242, firstname.lastname@example.com
Anthony Kusich, (916) 288-2228, email@example.com
ROSEVILLE, Calif. – Today Dr. Ami Bera, who represents the neighboring 7th Congressional District in the U.S. House, endorsed Jessica Morse in her campaign against Rep. Tom McClintock. The 7th district includes communities in eastern Sacramento County that were in prior iterations of the 4th district before redistricting. Notably, McClintock does not live in the community he represents in Washington, instead residing in Elk Grove in the 7th district – which means that McClintock's own Congressman is Dr. Bera.
"Jessica Morse has committed her life to public service, first as a civilian standing side-by-side with our troops before becoming an adviser to the U.S. Pacific Command," said Bera. "I'm excited to endorse her because I know she will bring both her devotion to public service and her deep personal ties as a fifth-generation Northern Californian to Congress to fight for the people of California's 4th district."
"It is an honor to receive the support of Dr. Bera, who knows the hard work it takes to be an effective advocate for the community he represents," said Morse. "I look forward to working with him throughout this campaign on our shared priorities of growing our economy, protecting access to affordable healthcare, and working across the aisle to get things done."
Last week Morse announced that she raised over $520,000 in the second quarter of 2018, which follows her fundraising leads in every quarter of the campaign thus far, and stands as the most raised by any McClintock opponent since his first race in 2008. Additionally, McClintock's 51.8% showing in the June primary is the lowest total he's ever received in a primary election in the 4th district, pointing to his vulnerability in the general election. Every major national political forecaster has put the 4th Congressional District race on the competitive watchlist, with Inside Elections, the Cook Political Report, UVA's Crystal Ball, and CNN all moving the seat out of the "Safe Republican" category .

How I Lost My Consulting Job
Nick Karnik ・4 min read
For the past 9 months, I've worked as an independent consultant on gigs that were mostly a few hours long to maybe a couple of weeks. Two months ago, I came across a client providing a service set to disrupt their industry. They were funded in excess of $100 Million.
Landing a stable gig is every independent consultant's dream!
Before I took the gig, the Head of Engineering emphasized two things:
You can work as much as you want. 50 hours, 100 hours, no problem! We have a lot of work.
We want you to know that if you would like to go full-time, the option is on the table.
This prospect was better than others I was about to land because it was a well-funded company with lots of work and going full-time was an option in case I wanted to explore that.
I thought to myself, 50 hours sounds great because I would like to clear some debt and fix some things around the house before our fourth baby arrives. In addition, I wouldn't have to keep looking for work at least for a few months. My family depended on the income from it.
After I signed my contract, I decided to reject a couple of standing offers for long-term gigs. My first week into this job, I was barely able to clock in ten hours of work. I thought maybe this was because both of us needed time to ramp up. The next week, it was ten hours again. Instead of letting that bother me, I decided to enjoy the reduced work hours.
Then, the following week, I barely got to 18 hours. I was told to start mocking up the UI and backend because the backend API's were not ready yet. I mentioned that I was a full-stack engineer and I could work the entire stack, but that was ignored for some reason. In addition, working on their other applications wasn't an option because they wanted me to focus on one.
I was working on a production app, mocking up functionality where parts of the data came in from the production backend and parts from the mock server. Updates were split similarly. This was one of the most convoluted React projects that I've worked on. It used a plethora of React/Redux plugins (very old versions of dependencies that couldn't be upgraded easily) which didn't improve productivity or add value.
All along I was thinking, does $100 million afford a company the ability to be careless with their project? Nothing the application did was groundbreaking. It was clear that the money was raised for marketing.
Somewhere along the line, they assigned a project lead who would ensure my plate was always full. Unfortunately, that person was bound by other constraints and was not able to accomplish that goal. We ended up doing a little bit of pair-programming once in a while which got me another ten hours.
Throughout the project, I was asked if I would like to go full-time. So, I finally had that conversation and during that time also mentioned that I was running out of work-items and I hadn't even crossed 20 hours a week.
Fast forward a week, I was sitting idle for a couple of days, so I decided that it was a good time to follow up on our conversation. I was told that there was no more work because the backend API's would not be ready for several weeks and that they wouldn't consider me for full-time work unless I relocated.
This was unexpected considering the initial conversation. Relocation during the middle of a school year is not an option, let alone with a baby on the way!
What I found really disturbing was the lack of empathy. For the past seven weeks, I mentioned I didn't have enough work and that my family depended on the income from that job, but nothing changed.
A contract doesn't guarantee full-time work!
Anyway, I'm glad that I was able to anticipate this scenario and proactively managed to schedule interviews with the Big Four and a handful of smaller companies. Even though I've been in the industry for so long, I still have to study before interviews, so I'm hoping to be interview ready in the next week.
Over the past two years, I traveled with my wife and three kids for a year through Asia and Europe while I worked on a startup and later worked as a CTO for a couple of companies before deciding to do independent consulting and teaching.
Having worked with close to 200 clients has given me such an incredible experience about the ups and downs of independent consulting. Nevertheless, I feel that I'm ready to go back to work at a stable company. This is something I took for granted and quit two dream jobs in the past.
Regardless of the sequence of events, I am glad that I've tried the things I've felt passionate about. It is evident that I couldn't do that without my wife who supported me in all my decisions.
I've tried to strike a balance between responsibility and following my dreams. Detaching yourself from elements you take for granted makes you appreciate them even more. Events like these are a good learning lesson in case you are complacent.
Actually, a contract does guarantee you full time work - if you have documented a minimum number of billable work hours each pay period, have signed and dated it, and given them a copy BEFORE starting work. That may or may not be legally binding
depending on the states work laws, but just having it documented is very powerful
if it ever becomes an issue. Although a good case can be made that if it ever gets to that point you've lost and should be looking for the next gig.
Remember, it benefits the money people - who are probably higher up in the food chain than the person who interviewed you - for you to work as little as possible, especially in lean times, when the employees come first. Life is sweet for contractors - when you are first hired and are treated as an employee.
Thank you for the advice. It is my fault that I didn't ask for it in writing about guaranteeing a minimum number of hours. I've never run into that issue before so it didn't strike me as something I should include in the contract.
In my case, I don't think it was anything to do with money. They are well-funded and looking to hire more full-time engineers. I think they're just caught up with the plethora of work and upcoming releases and may not have time to take a step back and think about people.
Actually in no way, shape, or form does a contract (unless clearly stated) guarantee you full-time work. This is what was implied by the author.
If you're on your own you're better off setting a minimum set of hours in your contract or working at a fixed monthly rate (with max hours limit).
Strict hourly rate is better for companies that can handle ups and downs by shifting resources. Individuals need a stronger guarantee. When I started out it was always long-term, fixed monthly. Not by the hour.
I had something that I felt was similar. I'd been working at 2 startups, one was a rollercoaster in terms of pay, and the other was in terms of work. But instead of relocation, it was wanting me to come in to the office daily vs. a few times a week. It just so happened that at the same time the responsibilities increased, but the compensation would've been far from fair at that point.
I ended up doing full-time work, but I will want to go back at some point to being independent. Though, I'm tired of tech companies and will probably not want to stay in tech forever.
Lately, I've started to feel the same way. However, that could just be some form of a burnout given that I've worked with 200+ clients this year.
What are you up to now?
I'm working as a Software Architect for a company. I'd be lying if I said I really wanted to add a daily commute to my lifestyle, but the work is interesting and enjoyable. Helping a company transition from legacy technologies (in an industry very slow to adopt anything new) to newer technologies is an interesting challenge for me that avoids all the AI/ML buzzwords I've had to deal with this year.
My problem honestly was it was a challenge to find clients. I spent a lot of 2017 building a product for my consultancy, and the only place that was really intrigued enough was the place that hired me exactly a year after I showed them. I could go on about that experience, but I was experiencing burnout again after everything that came from that business.
Good insights. Maybe time to dream bigger, founder/co-founder perhaps. Cause working for a boss can suck. Or worse, create a new 100M product and simply pull salary, no rotalties (my fulltime situation).
I went from contracting for 10 years then chose stability (fulltime) during my son's early years. He graduates high school in less than 2 years so and I look forward to quitting the fulltime nonsense and focusing on my entrepreneur path again.
Guess my point is, corporate fulltime simply sucks. Keep consulting if you can.
I've always moonlighted and continue to do that. I have done ~14 startups and have one acquisition. Its hard to take chances with the need for insurance in the US, but I plan on some form of self-employment in the future. Thanks for your advice.
Thank you for sharing your post and first of all, good luck!
You have an impressive resume and I'm pretty sure you're way more experienced in negotiating as well than most of us. So, don't get me wrong. You mentioned the lack of empathy and that your family depended on that income. The first thing, I learnt about salary negotiation that don't even mention how much money you need, because nobody cares about it. The same goes here. Should you get more work just because you need more money? Should actually they care why you want to work more? Or have I misunderstood the reason why you brought up empathy in the first place?
Again, thanks for sharing and good luck. Your experience is impressive, I'm sure you'll have a job very soon for each of your fingers.
Thanks for the kind words, @sandordargo !
I have a feeling you misunderstood what I wrote. My comment about lack of empathy isn't about getting more work per se.
I didn't have any conversation around how much money I needed. Before our engagement, I was told that they have an endless amount of work and I could work way more than the average number of hours per week if I wanted to. However, the actual workload ended up being an average of 10 hours versus what was communicated initially. How can anyone pay their bills if they don't work at least an average workload?
Companies have to care about you regardless of if you are an employee, contractor, intern, or customer. People are what make the company and most of us work to make ends meet. I don't think it is an unreasonable ask to work ~40 hours given that I accepted the job based on our initial discussion and not any assumptions. Now, it is my fault that I didn't ask for it in writing about guaranteeing a minimum number of hours. I've never run into that issue before so it didn't strike me as something I should include in the contract.
It would be one thing if I was brought in as a filler (which I have done with other clients as per the agreement), but that wasn't their intention.
Thanks again!
I've been through a similar career "roller-coaster" lately. Once it is over, I will definitely write about it.
"I've tried to strike a balance between responsibility and following my dreams." - it is great to be able to do this, isn't it? Even if following your dreams, SOMETIMES, doesn't lead anywhere. It is the experience that we gain from it that is worth everything.
Good luck to you, Nick.
Sounds familiar. I was on that roller coaster back in the dotcom boom/bust days of the late 1990's. They were exciting times where I made a whole lot of money. But, they didn't last and neither did investments I made.
I have a similar situation. I was released from a big 4 consulting firm and joined a hardware firm that wanted to start a security practice. They had several projects. I started as a contractor. The argued about every hour. I was guaranteed in writing a minimum of 50 hours per week by email. First week was orientation..no billable hours. Ah..the trick..billable hours..not just hours. The refused to pay for travel, 15 hour flights, because the client would not. They refused to pay for travel to the airport..$8..we are fighting over $8? I left after 6 weeks. Terrible, stressful, brutal and not worth the time or money. In any contract get 2 weeks paid notice. If ft get bridge money. Rem you are not a non.profit. you are only doing this to make $ or you would be doing something else.
Sorry to hear that, @raymondwmorgan ! It sucks to see companies spend more time and money nickel and diming. Definitely not worth it. Thanks for sharing.
The second I have a work week under 32 hours, I immediately start contacting everyone I know and putting out job applications. I advise every other contractor to do the same. Nobody can monopolize your time without paying a premium for it. Over $100K in earnings this year can't be wrong :-)
The biggest mistake I made was that I trusted them and took their word at face value regarding the amount of work. In addition, I also rejected two lucrative standing offers for slightly longer-term gigs.
Trust is something I need to work on as part of my career growth. I start out with 100% trust and recalibrate. I think I need to reverse that.
I think I was complacent thinking that this was just a slow start. Thanks for the advice!
Ugh this was hard to read. I'm sorry. I hope all is good and you're on your feet now.
I find that companies that do this over the long run tend to pay the price. Time will tell.
Thanks, @spirodonfl ! Getting interviews isn't hard, but finding the right company is. I make it a point that I work on stuff that will elevate my career and add to my resume, but in cases like these, I need to stop being picky.
Well if you've done the CTO thing before, it's probably not hard for you to get interviews, no. How'd you get into that? I'm looking to dip into the CTO pool but I fear I may not have the chops for it.
I don't think there's a specific formula for this. It's hard to get into mid-to-large sized companies as their CTO/VP. I'm still working on that goal. On the other hand, it's much easier to join smaller companies (and sometimes mid-sized) in that capacity.
At the same time, you need to bring something valuable to the table. All your experiences, projects, and accomplishments add up. You need to stay up-to-date and be on the cutting edge.
I've moonlighted for the past 20 years on all sorts of projects and founded ~14 startups with one acquisition. I was the CTO for all of them (in reality, titles don't matter at smaller startups, but the experience and lessons do).
I've worked in several engineering roles at organizations of various types which has given me a diverse perspective. In addition, I've been fortunate to work for a very well-known high-profile influential alongside several highly accomplished individuals. Combined with my skills, this is probably one of the reasons I can get an interview anywhere.
Other than that, I've worked as the CTO of a couple of smaller companies. To get those roles, all of the above helped.
I would suggest that you work on building deep technical skills, work on software architecture, and soft skills. Focus on things that make you more marketable and competitive in this landscape. IMO, everything that you do should add to your resume in some form. Things add up over time, so don't shy away from engaging in random projects (work on a side project, volunteer on a presidential campaign, work with a non-profit, host tech meetups, teach people, etc.). At least stuff like this has helped me.
You could also choose to be a subject-matter expert instead of the above.
At the end of the day, this field is competitive so you need to ensure you do what you can to stand out from the rest (at least for the higher level positions). But, remember that these things take time.
Thanks for sharing your story. I am in a similar boat. Good luck.
Good luck with the interviews!
Thank you, Nick.
I found this story valuable as someone who hasn't experienced consulting.
Wow, I cannot imagine the stress on that situation.
I've gone through quite a rollercoaster over the years, but my ability to stay calm has helped me. I've found that every time you get a kick in the back, you end up in a better place. The growing needs and responsibilities do make it stressful.
I feel you so much on this one...I wanted to be able to work from home and get out of the insanity of the corporate world, and without much background research or stable financial reserves, boldly but brainlessly set off on my goal. I found some random work here and there but at the end of the day I wasn't near breaking even. I kept holding out for a similar "one perfect account" and right before they signed they suddenly started communicating a lot less and my stomach instantly dropped.
After a few weeks of e-mail tag, they finally admitted that they couldn't commit to it. I turned down some really sweet job offers because I was determined to make it, and now I've ended up in a situation that I can describe as "interesting" but it's good full-time money in exchange for double the corporate BS that had set me off on this quest. If I didn't start work again this week, I'd probably be seeing what bankruptcy court feels like. My guess is it's pretty soul-crushing.
I still love the idea of it, but it's going to be a while before I fully recover from this. I'm just terrified I am going to wander around from shitty corp job to shitty corp job like a real life version of the Realms of the Hungry Ghosts in Buddhist mythology, never finding a long-lasting sense of satisfaction. I think I'm gonna go play with my roommate's cat now.
Having worked with close to 200 clients has given me such an incredible experience about the ups and downs of independent consulting.
As a freelancer I would love to read a long take on this :-)
Good luck for the future!
Thank you, @rhymes ! I'll try to summarize it into a post one of these days. Likewise, I'd love to hear your take on it as well.
Thanks for sharing this sincere story. Looks like that they may have raised several millions but did not invest a dime in a proper HR department...
Thanks, @pavlosisaris ! Not sure how much an HR department would help as they really exist to protect the company.
Thanks, very informative story, especially for those who consider switching to a consultant from full time.

Lina Ashar
"The only person you should try and be better than is the person you were yesterday"
Lina Ashar subscribed to these astute words for herself, and most decisively for her teachers, the children, and for education on the whole.
Lina spent most of her childhood and college years in Australia. On completing her B.Ed. in Melbourne, she came to India and joined a prestigious school in Mumbai, becoming a teacher to a class of 55 children. It didn't take her long to realise that learning at the school was based on rote and memory, which was not only stressful for the child but also curbed the little ones' creative growth and intrinsic abilities. She knew then she had to start her own pre-school which could change the face of education in India.
Lina started the first Kangaroo Kids preschool in 1993 in Mumbai. Driven by its success, in 2004 she started Billabong High International School. In the 12 years since, the organisation has set up Billabong branches and Kangaroo Kids franchises across India and internationally, with schools in Maldives, Dubai, Qatar and Saudi Arabia. Lina has not looked back since, and the success of BHIS is testament to her vision and determination to raise the bar for quality education.

Multi-Action Cream
*Starter sizes are only available for sale to first-time buyers.
A corrective treatment cream, worn beneath your daily moisturizer, that actively works to lift and firm. Visible benefits can be observed in as little as two weeks, with optimum results in 90 days.4 Reviews
Multi-Action Cream actively targets signs of aging such as skin laxity and sagging, loss of facial contours, as well as diminished skin fullness and volume resulting in thin skin. It works to smoothen out deep wrinkles and deep facial creases such as the nasolabial folds. Discoloration is visibly improved.
Dry Normal Sensitive
Aging Dis-coloration Sagging Loss of Facial Contours
As skin ages, the number of working stem cells falls, and the quantity of rejuvenating proteins they secrete is decreased. Skin repair and regeneration become compromised, and the skin begins to look aged. Signs of aging include decreased skin fullness, skin laxity, crepiness and discoloration.
Multi-Action Cream directs "Youth Messages" in the form of powerful growth factors to help activate the proteins responsible for hydrating and firming. These growth factors, derived from patented umbilical cord lining extract, can target skin laxity and help improve skin fullness.
Multi-Action Cream aids in re-building the skin's structural layers, while continually renewing the epidermal surface.
Distribute small amounts over the face and lightly pat into the skin every morning after the cleansing and toning, and before moisturizing.

Singla vs Dhindsa contest on the cards, once again
Hectic lobbying for the Lok Sabha ticket from Sangrur parliamentary constituency has already begun. Traditionally, this Lok Sabha seat has witnessed a direct fight between the Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) and the Congress.chandigarh Updated: Feb 15, 2014 23:58 IST
Hectic lobbying for the Lok Sabha ticket from Sangrur parliamentary constituency has already begun. Traditionally, this Lok Sabha seat has witnessed a direct fight between the Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) and the Congress.
Congress' sitting MP Vijay Inder Singla, considered a close aide of party vice-president Rahul Gandhi, is likely to get the nod again. Singla, who enabled the Congress to regain the Sangrur seat after almost two decades, has brought in several projects from the Centre for the region.
However, the party's Barnala MLA Kewal Dhillon has raised eyebrows by applying for the ticket. Mai Roop Kaur, district party president, said the final decision on the ticket would be taken by the party high command after a meeting slated to be held next month.
SAD choice
The ruling SAD is set to pick the party's general secretary and Rajya Sabha MP Sukhdev Singh Dhindsa, who had lost to Singla by around 41,000 votes in the 2009 Lok Sabha polls. Though Dhindsa's term in the Rajya Sabha will expire in 2016, his candidature is on the cards as the SAD does not have any other senior leader to take on Singla. Earlier, speculation was rife that Dhindsa's daughter-in-law Gagan Dhindsa, wife of finance minister Parminder Singh Dhindsa, may get the ticket, but the party has decided to field the senior Dhindsa again.
AAP contenders
Those who have applied for the ticket from the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) are party's district convener MS Mann, who is considered the front-runner, Darshan Singh Naniwal of Barnala, Mohmad Jamil-ur-Rehman and Jagjit Singh Dhuri.
Sanjha Morcha yet to decide
The Sanjha Morcha is undecided about its candidate from Sangrur.
Vijay Inder Singla (42)
First-time MP from Sangrur and former president of the Punjab Youth Congress is son of Sant Ram Singla, who was also a Congress MP. Known for his proximity to Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi, who handpicked him for the party ticket in 2009.
Sukhdev Singh Dhindsa (77)
Rajya Sabha MP and Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) secretary general Sukhdev Singh Dhindsa had won the Sangrur Lok Sabha in 2004 before losing to Vijay Inder Singla in the next elections. Known for his loyalty to chief minister Parkash Singh Badal, he is the chairman of the party's election manifesto committee. Has been busy defending the Badals as well as the Akali-BJP government against Congress charges on various issues.

Joe Paterno
Penn State students:
About 200 Penn State students rallied outside Joe Paterno's State College home, beginning about 6 p.m., in a show of support for the embattled coach.
The crowd, alternately chanted such things as "go home media," and "we love JoePa," and at one point began singing Penn State's alma mater.
When Paterno arrived on the street, they tried to block the the media's view of him.
Paterno, when he got inside his home, spoke to the students from a window, saying he was proud of them. He then stepped out of his house and spoke to the gathered students.
When he turned to go back inside, they began chanting "We love JoePA!"
He turned around. "I love you too," he said.

Anticipated Impacts on Veteran's Healthcare: Reducing hospital readmissions, especially those resulting from poor inpatient or outpatient care, represents an excellent opportunity to improve quality of care. Focusing on specific subgroups in the VA who are at relatively high risk of readmission, i.e., patients with heart failure (HF), acute myocardial infarction (AMI), and pneumonia, may yield a higher reward in terms of improved patient care and successful quality improvement (QI) initiatives, such as improving coordination of care and discharge planning. Project Background/Rationale: Readmissions are common, costly, and can lead to further functional decline of the patient. For many patients, hospitals are a revolving door, as they yo-yo back and forth between the hospital and community. Many of these readmissions may be potentially preventable, the risk being modifiable by the quality and type of care provided. Therefore, identifying this subset will help direct QI efforts more effectively in reducing readmission rates. Objectives: The primary goal of this study is to examine the rate of readmissions for patients discharged with HF, AMI, or pneumonia, determine the proportion of readmissions that is potentially preventable using software designed to identify potentially preventable readmissions, and assess the extent to which this software accurately classifies readmissions as potentially preventable. Specific objectives include: 1) estimate risk-adjusted models to predict 30-day readmissions for patients discharged with HF, AMI, or pneumonia;2) investigate rates of potentially preventable readmissions for HF, AMI, or pneumonia using readmission classification software based on administrative data;3) develop chart abstraction tools to identify potentially preventable readmissions for discharges with HF, AMI, or pneumonia;4) apply chart abstraction tools to VA electronic medical records (EMR) to classify HF, AMI, and pneumonia all-cause readmissions and compare results to the administrative data-based classification software;and 5) re-estimate hospital-specific risk-adjusted rates of potentially preventable readmissions in the VA using supplemental automated data. Methods: This is a three-year, retrospective, observational cohort study using FY06 through FY09 national VA data, supplemented by CMS Medicare files. Assessment of the potential preventability of 30-day readmissions for each condition cohort will be compared between EMR-abstracted data and the 3M"""""""" Potentially Preventable Readmissions (PPRs), a clinically-based classification system designed for identifying potentially preventable readmissions. Risk-adjusted facility-specific readmission rates will be calculated using the PPR software. Condition-specific, explicit criteria will be developed and refined by clinical expert panels. These criteria will be incorporated into chart abstraction tools to identify potentially preventable readmissions and classify causes of readmission. Explicit criteria will primarily focus on system- and provider-level factors (processes and structures of care) that are associated with increased risk of readmissions, such as premature discharge and failure of follow-up post-discharge. To assess how well the PPR algorithm performs in identifying potentially preventable readmissions, the sensitivity, specificity, and the positive predictive value of the algorithm will be examined against the EMR-abstracted data. Supplemental automated clinical and diagnostic data based on the panel-derived explicit criteria will be added to the administrative data to improve identification of potentially preventable readmissions. Data elements that may provide information on appropriate in-hospital or follow-up care from discharge to readmission will be considered for inclusion. """"""""Reclassified PPRs"""""""" (PPRs and supplemental clinical data) will be developed for each condition cohort. Hospital-specific risk-adjusted rates of potentially preventable readmission rates will be re-estimated using the """"""""reclassified PPRs"""""""" and compared with hospital-level risk-adjusted rates.
Reducing hospital readmissions represents an excellent opportunity to improve quality, particularly for those subgroups in the VA with relatively high rates of readmissions. Many readmissions are felt to be potentially preventable, although inconsistencies in definitions of readmissions and differences in decision rules hinder accurate measurement. This study will determine the proportion of readmissions that is potentially preventable (i.e., those readmissions that could have been avoided if appropriate care had been provided) by comparing an administrative data-based algorithm that identifies potentially preventable readmissions with explicit criteria abstracted from patients'electronic medical records. Understanding the hospital and system factors that contribute to readmissions will help direct quality initiatives towards specific care processes that may help reduce readmission rates in these high-risk groups. Identifying those readmissions that are potentially preventable should help to focus these quality improvement efforts even more directly.

Everyone has an opinion about how to eat when to eat and what to eat. And I have found that the older I get the more fed up I get with all the conflicting opinions out there by "health" authorities. Continue reading "My Two Cents About Health Opinions"
Carbs, Protein and Insulin spikes!
As a health enthusiast and someone who is heavily into advertising- marketing, I see a lot of things. I see a lot of trends, I see what people are doing to get results, and to not get results. I see the new products and returning marketing, and how one product won't sell while another does. Continue reading "Carbs, Protein and Insulin spikes!"
Are Eggs Healthy? …Compared to what?
As many of you figured out by now, I'm really into nutrition and I enjoy talking to a lot of people about it. And I often get asked: Hannah is this food good for me? Is this food healthy? Are eggs healthy because they are cage-free? Is chicken healthy? Is peanut butter healthy? Continue reading "Are Eggs Healthy? …Compared to what?"

Sometimes I Don't Have a Point...
I don't know what I want to say. Today was great. Got to hang out with my sister, take out a gut crew, got an awesome package from a friend in the mail, went out to a nice dinner with Chet and my sister. All good stuff.
It was also hard. I don't have enough time to do all the work I need to or want to. I've got tons of awesome ideas but no time to implement them. My chest has been hurting all day, and I'm afraid it might turn out to be some kindof reaction to the mold. The thought makes my stomach turn. If I can't do mold, I sure as hell picked the wrong city to move to. Hopefully I just strained something carrying heavy stuff all day...
It's strange how living here can be such a constant stress, and yet so fulfilling.
Geez, this is probably boring to read. I just needed to say all that to somebody, and by somebody I mean the internet - my companion forever.

How can I service the swivel mechanism when the spout becomes difficult to rotate around the base (model S72308). I assume I just need to service the O-ring, either lubricate and/or replace, but I cannot find instructions on how to service the spout.
I ordered S72308ESRS and received a faucet where the spout only swivels about 90 degrees. The other Q&A indicated that it would swivel 360 degrees. Is the one I got broken? Or is the other answer wrong?
Does the spout swivel 360 degrees?
Is the STo sprayer head metal?

Night World, no. 1
Thinking about my zine, I realize that I need to start writing shorter reviews, like I did when they debuted on paper. So, this will be quick. Night World no. 1, consists of three novels: Secret Vampire, Daughters of Darkness, and Spellbinder. They all take place in the same universe but have few characters in common. I'm hoping that after we've met everyone (There are nine novels in the series.), they'll interact. However, I suspect that they'll stay as they are, primarily about the forbidden soul mate pairings of humans and supes.

Picking your wedding photographer is one of the most important parts of your planning process. This vendor will be by your side the majority of your special day, so it is super important that you feel at ease with this person. In order to find someone that suites you as a couple follow these 5 steps!
Step 1)
Pick the style of photographs that fit's you two as a couple. There are several different styles that you'll see when looking at wedding photos, most fall under one of these four categories.
- dark & elegant
- bright & white
- natural & romantic
- colorful & fun
The photography style should be something you could imagine loving for many years to come as your look back on your wedding day.
Step 2)
Research your photographer. Check out their website, instagram, and most importantly read their reviews! Sometimes pictures don't capture the full photography experience so make sure to read what other bride's have to say.
Look for your venue in their photographs! This will help imagine the photos you will receive. Plus, if your photographer has worked at your venue they will already have some great shots in mind!
*Pay attention to your budget and the price of each photographer*
Step 3)
Make a list of your top 3 photographers. Depending on the popularity of your date or how far out your wedding is, your first pick could already be booked. Have two other choices at hand so you can quickly contact them next.
Step 4)
Contact your first pick! Email them with the date of you wedding + hours you will need them.
Step 5)
Meet with them (or at least have a FaceTime call). Email can be impersonal and once again you'll be with this person(s) that majority of your wedding day so it is super important to get a feel for each other and start a relationship!
Need some help getting started? Check out some of our favorite photographers as featured on our blog!

It came and went. My anticipated engagement to Damon Albarn. The Gorillaz came to town. They played at a stadium(intimate). I had no doubt that Damon would recognize me from Westbourne Grove W11 and a solid 2 years of me either glaring or ignoring him. I mean yes, I was in a crowd of thousands and my hair is two feet longer and I'm about 30lbs (2.something stones) lighter. But heck yes, it was all supposed to come flooding back to him like a bad nose-bleed. The countless times I said nothing to him, the stolen glances. Siiiiigh.
Here's some background detailing my rather unhealthy if not totally delusional obsession.
London 2004
Damon Albarn update.
Have been a little concerned of late. Have not seen Damon pass by on foot, bike or otherwise. Last time seen was about 2 weeks ago (obviously did not see him in Switzerland…. Or perhaps he was behind that tree?) Strolled by in his cute slouchy "I'm not a rock star… really I'm not" way. Looked in shop, as I was adjusting bra. Well done. To be fair, wasn't the only one below par that day. He looked dashing in track pants (What's with this country!?) and camo truckers hat (presumably has not taken up driving the big rigs) and carrying bag of leeks. NB must get job at 'Fresh and Wild' grocery store down road. He is ALWAYS there. So after bra incident thought that was it, no more Damon. Not so. Rolled past on his bike 3 times today. Missed him first time but staff member (Imran) said he was craning his neck as he went by. Well, maybe not craning, splitting hairs. Then proceeded to ride by 2 more times. Did not look in the 2nd and 3rd time, obviously did not think I was in shop today. Still think have shot!
Fingers crossed. Z
Finally made serious, unmistakable eye contact. Have never been closer! Almost blacked out.
Damon cruised down the road on his chopper heading to Fresh & Wild, as per usual. The difference between this time and the countless times before? Firstly, had spectacular view from shop door position. And held view for about 1 ½ blocks. Enjoyed about 20 mins of Damon striking poses (read: David Brent) as he loitered outside F&W reading the paper. Had no idea what he was doing for that amount of time. Fortunately bought me time to make myself presentable, as knew he would be back eventually. Was perched in doorway, having just flipped hair when not 15 feet away came a little bike with a slightly less little Damon laden down with parcels. Even better was that he was on the sidewalk not the road. Almost blacked out for second time. Psssst'd Imran, as he has more of a crush on Damon than I do. Imran insists that if I meet Damon, the two of them will become bestest friends. Just as I turned back to the door and Imran plastered himself casually to the window, D v. slowly and carefully peddled by, whilst balancing 2 pizzas's a paper and his grocery shopping dangling from the bikes handle bars. Almost toppled bike as he looked up at me standing around looking useless in the doorway. Pretty sure I glared at him. Fortunately did not drool. Or perhaps blacked out for 3rd time and did drool.
Perhaps should have offer a helping hand? Missed opportunity. I mean had I smiled I'm sure some broccoli from last night would have navigated its way in-between my two front teeth. Smiling would have been foolish, better to glare. At least didn't wave knickers at him this time. Am picture of self restraint.
Must figure out way to get him to fall madly and hopelessly in love with me. Think. Next time, trip him? Blow kiss? Not glare? Lift up top? Throw confetti? Steal pizzas?
Hope springs eternal.
To Sum up
Concert: fab
Damon: dreamy
Marital Status: Not Mrs. Damon Albarn

Our downtown Dunkin Donuts closed this past weekend, and I am distraught by the news. We walked there several times a week, and the manager Kim always had chocolate munchkins waiting for my children.
I am a homeowner in downtown, and my husband and I made a choice to raise our young family in the downtown area. We purchased our downtown home just two years ago. We both work in Norwich, and we believe in walkability, in supporting a downtown tax base, and the racial, ethnic, and economic diversity our neighborhood provides our young children.
Sadly, all anyone has to do is look at a map of downtown to understand that decisions are made in this city to promote empty storefronts, vacancy, and divestment.
- There are four major roads that lead into downtown from the West Side, which is the busiest section of traffic and commerce in Norwich (Church Street, Main Street, Water Street, and Chelsea Harbor Drive). Two of these streets only lead out of the city (Main Street and Water Street); meaning drivers cannot use them to access the city by car. Water Street only leads up and away from downtown establishments, and puts drivers in front of our City Hall, and guides them towards the Historic District, again leaving no access to the downtown. Chelsea Harbor Drive is the only road leading directly into the city, and provides drivers with access out of downtown via the one-way-out-Main Street, and the Viaduct that enables drivers to avoid downtown all together. Furthermore, when visitors arrive at the corner of Chelsea Harbor Drive and Main Street, the most prominent business is a storefront that provides bail bonds.
- City establishments east of Broadway suffer even more. Franklin Street could be a bustling district, but there isn't a direct route onto Franklin Street, even from the treasured historic district. There are just more one-way streets leading drivers away from city commerce. Bath Street points away from the city, which prohibits access to Franklin Street from Broadway, Union Street, and Chestnut Street. Again, isolating these businesses from people who may drive into downtown.
- The two main parking garages on Chelsea Harbor Drive/Market Street are far from city services, like the city library and city post office, which are several blocks east of the parking garages.
- The City's major public transportation hub, sits just outside of the city limits on West Main Street, not Main Street.
- The open public meeting space, Brown Memorial Park, is separated from city commerce by Chelsea Harbor Drive, which is the only access to the City, so it is a busy road, and does not promote an ease of, "grabbing your coffee and taking it down to the water."
- Waterfront investment and entertainment at American Wharf is not actually within the downtown limits.
- Not on the map, but important to include, is drivers see that there are no benches, no bus stops, and zero places to sit to enjoy the center city.
City planners, you made decisions to make our downtown impossible to navigate, you provide parking, but not near services people might need or enjoy, you deliberately direct traffic away from anything east of Broadway, and you promote the leaving of the city with more one-way roads pointing out of the downtown, then towards it.
Do not scratch your heads, and blame a false economic downtown for our vacant and empty storefronts. You made choices, and these are the consequences. Imagine if you planned streets that promoted easy visitation of downtown, and ample parking near services citizens want access to, and imagine you subsidized business that we need, like grocery stores, and medical clinics. Envision walkability, and imagine the tax revenue of a bustling downtown. It is a choice you can make.

Hibernate is an object/relational mapper between Java and relational databases. SQL is a structured query language used to interact with relational databases. Hibernate allows Java developers to interact with the database (persistence) without needing to write SQL directly.
Most tools start with a database and reverse engineer it to get the source code. Java developers, on the other hand, would like to write their source code and have the database generated.
This article explains the steps to analyze your existing Java classes and generate SQL statements and hibernate mapping XML files using a tool.
1Write source code to create Java objects for your Domain model.
2Make sure that Sets are parameterized for relationships between objects.
3Compile your source code in Java classes.
4Build your classes into a JAR file.
5Upload your JAR file at http://www.javatosql.com and provide your email address
6Make sure to select the box to receive Hibernate files
7Wait for a few minutes and check your email for your JAR submission
8Download JavaToSql.zip from your email
9Extract the ZIP file over your source code directory
10Run the sql queries against your database

- Java classes must be J2SE 5.0 (Major version number 49)
- All sets must be parametrized; lists are not allowed
- Each class must implement two methods:
- 1. public Integer getId()
- 2. public void setId(Integer id)
- The tool Java to Sql is an alpha version
- The tool is not as customizable as you may need, so you may need to edit the sql statements before issuing them against your database

The Pilgrim VPB045 Rocky Mountain Model 2 Closed Back 5 String Banjo is a professional quality instrument that all musicians can afford. Whether you like to practise alone, jam with friends, or are a musician by trade, this beautiful banjo is perfect for any situation. Employing superb tonewoods, high quality appointments, and exceptional build quality, the Rocky Mountain Model 2 is a dream instrument.
As we've come to expect from Pilgrim, the build quality on offer here is truly outstanding. The most minute of details has been pored over to ensure a peerless playing feel, solid construction and a heavenly timbre. Not only will you adore playing the VPB045, you'll wonder how you ever got by without one in the first place.
The resonator is crafted from walnut, a solid tonewood that balances warm mids and crisp articulation brilliantly. The robust character of walnut makes it highly resilient, and you can rest assured that as the wood ages, it will only sound better and better. There are 24 brackets that encircle the edge of the resonator, affixing the exquisite rolled brass ring firmly. The shell is also built using walnut, adding to the already powerful tonality of the VPB045. Completing the body is a Remo Weatherking coated head, which projects the enviable timbre produced in the body with the utmost clarity.
Fitted to the body is a supple walnut neck, which delivers a beautifully balanced playing feel as you glide along its length. Married to the sturdy neck is a luxurious rosewood fretboard, which is home to 22 frets that are adorned with ornate position inlays. The neck and fingerboard partnership provides a supportive and reassuring playing experience that allows you to play through the longest of sessions in total comfort.
The Pilgrim VPB045 is equipped with geared tuning machines that allow you to adjust string tuning with ease, whilst remaining firm and true during performances. The fifth string tuning machine lies along the neck, but remains discreetly positioned so that it stays out of your way as you perform. The strings remain fixed, allowing you to play confidently. The nut at the top of the headstock aids in maintaining consistent string tension, whilst the adjustable tailpiece dutifully maintains intonation and sustain with precision.
Performing with the Pilgrim VPB045 Rocky Mountain Model 2 Closed Back 5 String Banjo is a breath-taking experience that guarantees you will never want to put it down once you pick it up. If you're looking for the perfect gigging closed-back 5-string banjo, you couldn't ask for more.

Home Living : May 1st 2012
2 HLS - HOME LIVING: SOUTH, Tuesday, May 1, 2012 MB GARDENING ADD ELEGANCE TO POT, SAUCER IF mum loves gardening, one such project turns a simple terracotta clay pot and saucer into an elegant gift she will treasure. This is so simple to do and the end results will be enjoyed by mum and those speci- al visitors to her garden. Start by getting a terracotta pot and saucer. This can be cheaply bought in any store or nursery. If you have an old one, just give it a good wash. All you need to do is flip your clay pot upside down -- this will serve as the base of your birdbath. The saucer will be used on top of the birdbath to hold water. Use a deep saucer. Now decorate as you wish. Spray paint or sponge paint the pot, sprinkle glitter or add craft. Wrap tinsel around the pot or use a stencil to make designs. Set it in a special place mum loves to take a break. Similarly, smaller clay pots with ribbon through the bottom will make garden ornaments. MOTHER'S DAY HOME GIFTS ARE BEST AND THEY DON'T HAVE TO BE BIG ITEMS Buy small things for mum which will also make a difference in the house. Janita Singh GIFT ideas for the home are especially great for mothers who are avid homemakers. But don't go running out to buy her big ticket items such as furniture. Start with small things which will also make a difference in the house. Buy smaller items like in- terior accents, including lamps, clocks, jewellery boxes, book cases, picture frames, mirrors, decorative pots and vases, small area rugs, throw pillows, paint- ings and small sculptures. Get vouchers from a hard- ware shop or book her a Do-It- Yourself class with an expert. Buy blinds or new curtains and change them when mum is away for a lovely surprise. Handcrafted items make precious gifts and memories. Dried flower arrangements or bags of potpourri to hang over doorknobs are great. If she loves gardening and outdoors, a good idea would be to make her a quirky birdhouse or a bird feeder. A bird bath, pot plant hanger, wind chime or a nice pot plant in a handpainted pot are sure winners. For those with time, try mak- ing candles, sew her an apron, tablecloth and knit a sweater. • 2 x Mirror doors • Wall to wall up to 2.4m wide • 1 x Single Hanging space • 1 x Draw unit (4 draws) + 3 shelving •1xShoerack • 1 x Double hanging space • 3 x mirror doors •Walltowallupto 3.6m wide Bankstown 9786 0395e Surcharge applies to Campbelltown area Wally's Wardrobe World 2173633i hlc wk49 up to 2.4m wide up to 3.6m wide 2.4m high 2.4m high $570 inc GST $870 inc GST Showroom & Factory: Fax: 77 Larra St, Yennora 9632 1399 Specialising in Shopfront & Domestic Roller Shutters SAVE $$$ - FACTORY DIRECT PRICES Master Lic:408646770 Roller Shutters Shopfront Shutters Stainless Steel Doors Automatic Garage Doors FREE MEASURE & QUOTES Call 9632 1111 www.burwoodshutters.com.au 5% OFF YOUR LOWEST GENUINE PRICE Window Shutters Safety Doors Window Grilles Automatic Gates 2061737i hlw wk15 BUILT IN WARDROBES FACTORY DIRECT PRICES BUILT IN WARDROBES FACTORY DIRECT PRICES PH: 9890 7477 PH: 9890 7477 • FREE MEASURE & QUOTE • LIFETIME GUARANTEE Made to suit your budget & needs • Style • Service • Variety • Full range • Accessories • Hinged Doors • Sliding Doors • Over 20 years exp.
