Little Corpuscle: A Story About Blood
Submitter: We are a technical college library and are weeding our Early Childhood Education collection comprised mainly of picture books. I came upon this title in my report and wasn't sure I was reading it correctly. I went to the bib record, and, yes, that was the title. The subject listed in the bib was "Blood – juvenile literature." Curiosity got the best of me and I pulled the book. I just about died when I saw the cover. It looks like we acquired the title in 1975 and it has apparently only circulated three times – 1984, 1988, and 2010. I had to share this little gem.
Holly: So glad you did! It's so vintage-chic I can't even stand it! The crayon drawings, the happy faces painted on the corpuscles, the little shorts and hats they are wearing…it's all very 1960s. It's mostly useless in a technical college library without an Early Childhood Education program, so good call on weeding it there, Submitter.
Just for kicks, enjoy "Do The Circulation" from Schoolhouse Rock!
All those blood cells with knobby knees, striped shorts, and buckle shoes are just adorable.
I kind of love this. Definitely not the right book for the submitter's library, but still all kinds of ridiculous vintage awesome.
This book reminds me of that classic film shown in schools back in the day, "Hemo the Magnificent". https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=08QDu2pGtkc
Yes, I was going to mention that, too! I loved seeing that in school. Here is the wikipedia page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hemo_the_Magnificent — who knew it was directed by Frank Capra! Thank you for that YouTube link.
Trying to educate kids about blood cells while being as non-squeamish as possible. Even when they mention pus. Times sure have changed. 🙂
i have to admit a corpuscle isn't the first thing I thought of when I saw this 🙂
Have to admit to buying this, probably at a library sale, for my girls in the late '90s. Don't know it he made the cut to be stored in the attic,
O look, it's categorized as "bleeding edge" (;
I'd say a LOT earlier than 1960's.
not knowing what a corpuscle is off the top of my head, I thought the book was about practicing safer sex & that cover image was a condom.

The Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation will break ground Thursday on a $25 million expansion at its St. Paul "Fellowship Club" campus.
Once the two-year project is completed, Hazelden will be able to treat twice as many patients affected by addiction at the 680 Stewart Ave. complex, the foundation said.
The current campus is at a maximum capacity and unable to handle additional demand for outpatient treatment, the foundation said in announcing the groundbreaking. The project includes a new 55,000-square-foot building and the remodeling of an existing structure.
The first phase will be completed by October 2015 and allow for the growth of outpatient chemical health services and the replacement of the current 55 residential beds. The next phase will be done by April 2016 and include the remodeling of the campus' iconic mansion to expand outpatient mental health clinic and administrative services.

Sad Spaceman regrets breakfast
In case you're wondering, I've started a new Tumblog called Sad Spaceman, and I am stealing things from it. You may get some textual funny later this week.
Alltop wouldn't know textual funny if it was hit in the face with the Oxfjord Dictionary of English Humor.
Sad Spaceman gets philosophical
Alltop is worried about having its files decompressed.
The Future Is Frenzied
Professor Albedo-9000 Frink (the Third) was justifiably proud of his invention. It had taken him nearly 300 years of his genetically enhanced life to construct the Frink Dojigger 12. (Experimental models 1-11 proved un-viable.)
Using only the finest Moussorgsky rodent filaments and all the heavy element Poutinium available in the Liquid Fermentation Galaxy, he had constructed the first Pan-Dimensional TeleKinetic Operating System known to man.
It wasn't perfect yet, by any means. The Moussorgsky rodent filaments only worked when fed a steady diet of Hermelin cheese and light Russian opera. And the Poutinium was playing hell with the customized Evacuation Module he'd purchased from Googlishus Industries.
And of course, he had no idea what the Frink Dojigger did yet, but he was pretty certain the twelfth model the wouldn't de-molecularize its operator.
Pretty sure. He still thought it prudent to get his latest grad student, Chad, to try it out first.

It is the Season of the Doom. The days darken. Temperatures drop. And the Black Rodents of London are out for blood. Or nuts, at the very least.
I remember reading once that the term "squirrelly" was coined during the pioneer days, and it was used to describe homesteaders who had been forced to live on a diet of squirrel. I believe the explanation was that squirrel meat is almost all protein so the complete lack of fat caused the rodent-munching pioneers' brains to misfire, causing them to say things like: "rasfram, gfrrnarlgm chagnm, ghum!" as though everyone could understand it. Though it may just have been the taste of tree rat drove them mad.
Another explanation would be to watch their behaviour during the month of November, right before the snow flies. Not that they aren't devilishly clever too: man's greatest enemy. [clip here if the embeddy thing doesn't work]
Alltop is also all protein. Thanks to No-Frills Marilyn for the LOLSQUIRREL. Originally published November, 2008.
And how would you like your Marcel Duchamp prepared sir?
Someday, thanks to science and human perversity, we will be able to eat people without suffering the pangs of guilt that we have contributed to someone's murder. Sure, we'll have all the frisson of the ultimate taboo to spice up our night out, but we will be able to do so without fear of prosecution, opprobrium, or recurring nightmares.
This is just one of the many things we have to look forward to with the invention of in-vitro meat. You know, beaker bacon, Frankenburger, tank steak, cloned cutlets — whatever fun name you can come up with to describe meat that has been artificially grown as opposed to that taken from a living animal.
Sure, most of the in-vitro meat will be in standard form — cow, pig, lamb, etc. — but there will definitely be a niche market out there for restaurants who want to serve something a little different. If you take away the moral component, why not try eating endangered species? Hell, what about human?
I imagine there will be restaurants that specialize in celebrities — some will offer up their DNA so they can be served (I imagine anyone on a reality-type TV show would encourage the additional "exposure"), while some will jealously protect their DNA, so that they cannot be served as dinner. (I'm looking at you Royal Family.) Some eateries will cater to the literary crowd, Atwood Kebab anyone? Some will look for even more exotic sources, such as the Ancient Pharaoh Café.
Incidentally, anyone looking for a new area of law practice may want to consider this grey legal area — is one's genetic makeup something that can be protected? I dunno, but I'd be willing to be there's money in the litigation.
But it's not just about creating new dining experiences, and opportunities for lawyers to make money. There are positive aspects too. I recommend you check out this H+ article about the eight ways in-vitro meat will change our lives.
And by the way, Duchamp is best served in a banana flambé, with nuts.
By all means, recommend your favourite celebrity meal, and its mode of preparation in the comments!

Evolution of Analysis of Polyhenols from Grapes, Wines, and Extracts
AbstractGrape and wine phenolics are structurally diverse, from simple molecules to oligomers and polymers usually designated as tannins. They have an important impact on the organoleptic properties of wines, that's why their analysis and quantification are of primordial importance. The extraction of phenolics from grapes and from wines is the first step involved in the analysis. Then, several analytical methods have been developed for the determination of total content of phenolic, while chromatographic and spectrophotometric analyses are continuously improved in order to achieve adequate separation of phenolic molecules, their subsequent identification and quantification. This review provides a summary of evolution of analysis of polyphenols from grapes, wines and extracts.

Healthy Japanese food: Fukada
This is the first post from ShopEatSleep contributor Eros David, a long-time friend and like-minded blogger. You can follow his work at Clement & Co. and on his Tumblr.
Healthy, organic Japanese food. Buzzwords may draw a crowd to Fukada in Irvine, but the delicious taste keeps them coming back. Because it's in the same plaza as a 24 Hour Fitness, it's not uncommon to see the same people frequenting both locations. Tucked away in a small plaza on the outskirts of town across the street from the Verizon Amphitheater, Fukada is not really the type of place you just come across randomly; you'll most likely have to be introduced. There is also a "2 Go" location in north Irvine, not far from the UCI campus, with a slightly different menu.
In authentic Japanese restaurant fashion, Fukada is closed on Mondays, and regular hours are 11:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. and 5:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. There can be a wait, so if you don't get there early, you'll most likely end up having to wait until the end of the lunch or dinner hours to get in.
But the food is worth the wait. The tasty dishes also have this way of bringing out good conversations here. The food just brings out a joy that must be expressed. The dishes are mainly soups (udon or soba), rice bowls and various appetizers you would expect at a Japanese restaurant. The tempura is great, especially the scallops and avocado. The overall taste is all is very clean and not too heavy. The iced green tea is good and, unlike some other restaurants, refills are free.
The best deals are, as always, the combinations. At Fukada, there are separate lunch and dinner combinations. The prices differ by a couple dollars and a few extra choices for dinner. You can choose either a soup combination or a seafood salad combination. For the soup, you choose either 1) udon or soba, 2) hot or cold or 3) tanuki (tempura crumbs, basically) or sansai (mountain vegetables). These are paired with rice bowls with the choice of either white or brown rice (they tend to run out of brown rice toward closing time).
The seafood salad combination is basically the same, substituting in the salad for the soup, but is also a little more expensive. There is a good amount of fish in the salad and the dressing is sweet and not too tangy. Upon request, the rice bowls can be substituted at an extra cost for ones not on the combination list. The go-to order here is the seafood salad combination with the spicy tuna don (rice bowl) on brown rice. It's clean, satisfying and good for lunch or dinner.
Just to be clear, Fukada is not a sushi restaurant – something that should be conveyed when introducing people to the establishment, to clear any of those expectations Fukada virgins might have. The restaurant serves rolls, but it's not the specialty here.
It gets pretty busy, so sometimes the service gets slow or infrequent, but the wait staff is all very nice and hospitable. They thank you as you walk out after your visit, not just after paying your bill. You'll most likely thank them right back for such an enjoyable meal.

I understand very well what buying first motorcycle is. You can check as many motorcycle on websites and still find some or other things missing in the ride you are trying to sure of.
I bought a GixxerSF because that was a complete package based on my needs. I am a student so I need a good looking ride. Also, fuel and maintenance will be additional debits from my wallet. GixxerSF returns decent fuel economy of 45 kmpl. Next important thing is performance. It is good for overtaking and exhaust starts sounding serious when engine crosses 5k. Top speed is 120 kmph.
To tame the power engine unleashed it has double disks and the grip of tyres never fades.
I have used Pulsar 220 and bullet 350 for tours. They don't feel as planted at front end as GixxerSF does. That is very amusing thing for me. Sitting position is relaxing. You can be in saddle for 2-3 hrs before stopping to relax. l am planning to go Leh this year, and I have heard every vehicle suffers from less oxygen. Suzuki Gixxer SF with Fi is solution for that issue. You'll not need kick and choke for cold start and hence not provided either in Fi version.
If you are willing to spend 1.05 lakhs for this bike, it will be nice choice according to me.
All the best

Bills edge Raiders
Rian Lindell booted a 38-yard field goal as time expired Sunday to give the Buffalo Bills a 24-23 win over the Oakland Raiders.
The Bills were a 10-point favorite in the game, but were unable to cover the spread. The combined score went OVER the posted over/under total (37.5).
Trent Edwards passed for 279 yards with a touchdown and an interception for Buffalo, while Marshawn Lynch rushed for 83 yards with a pair of touchdowns on 23 carries.
JaMarcus Russell completed 9-of-19 passes for 156 yards with a touchdown pass and a TD run for Oakland, while Johnnie Lee Higgins hauled in only one pass, but it was a 84-yard touchdown.

Wow. A lot has been going on the past three weeks! Life has been hectic, to say the least; it's been crazy, busy, and challenging…but, not bad.
It all started with a minor family emergency that led to me staying overnight at my parents' house to care for my father, who as you may know has dementia. My children and I stayed with him two nights and learned the ins-and-outs of caring for someone with dementia full-time, something my mother does daily. After the initial two nights, the situation changed from staying overnight to going to their house every day to help both of them.
The challenge? My everyday routine of working with two kids at home had to be adjusted to working with two kids at my parents' house and helping my parents with everyday tasks. Did you get all that?
As I said, it's been crazy. But, not impossible. Somehow we've managed and three weeks later, I can say that I believe I've managed to keep up with the most important tasks of work, spend time with the kids, help my parents, and even have a little family fun. While I know there are areas that need improvement and tasks I'd like to do, but haven't been able to complete, overall I feel we're getting through this rough patch. So, what has helped?
5 Musts for Dealing with Unexpected Curve Balls in Life
- Support
My husband, bless his heart, has been very understanding, supportive, and flexible. He has helped a lot by taking care of things at our own house, and picking up the kids when I've had to stay later at my parents', etc. Just knowing he understands the situation has been helpful enough.
- Flexibility
Going with the flow or rolling with the punches – however you want to say it, the point is to be flexible. Regardless of how much planning you do to try to keep you on-task, something may throw your plan out the window. This is important for the kids too, who all too often have had to just go along with what the day threw at us. I kept reminding my daughter that the important part was we were all together, and that somehow we'd make it work.
- Say no
I've had to say no to some things – events, varying requests, and the like. It's impossible to be everywhere all the time and do everything. Saying no to extras allowed me to stay on task.
- Focus on the 'musts'
Along with saying no, I've tried to focus on the 'musts' and put aside the less important tasks. For my work, this meant focusing on meeting deadlines and paid work, and spending less time on social media interaction and promotion. Though both important, I had to really consider if it was time well spent.
- Humor
Above all, being able to laugh and keep a good attitude about things has allowed us to stay sane. Seeing the humor in a situation always helps. This also helped show my kids that we can have fun regardless of where we are or how many challenges we're dealing with.
How do you normally deal with life's curve balls?

The Dap-Kings get another back stage treat in Bellingham thanks to Joselynn and the nice people at Mallard Ice Cream (1323 Railroad ave, Bellingham, WA). Joselynn, the manager of the Nightlight (tonight's venue), shows up with pints and pints of delicious fresh made ice-cream. The Dap Kings sample a variety of interesting flavors including strawberry aronia berry (amazing), pumpkin made with local organic pumpkin (a pumpkin lover's delight), chili lime (not quite together yet), lavender (subtle), chocolate mint cheesecake, green tea made with aged macha from Japan, non-dairy coconut milk ice cream (surprisingly good), butter pecan (classic), and regular old vanilla (damn good). Pictured below is Joselynn displaying my personal favorite — banana.

The "Armed and Dangerous" Category of the 2013 Stepper All Star Game required participants to execute a full dance connected left hand to left hand (one of the more challenging hand connections in the dance). The partners hands could not separate at any time, and if they did the dance stopped immediately and participants are judged on what they completed. The audience judged using a decibel meter, and all participants had to start the dance with their right hands in their pockets.

States are pre-empted from regulating motor carriers — as in forcing either the replacement of engines or retrofitting of equipment with Diesel Particulate Filters (DPF's) that can cost upwards of $20,000 per vehicle.
Media release below.
Truckers Will Continue Legal Battle against CARB and U.S. EPA
Owner-operators and small-fleet trucking business owners to challenge constitutionality of diesel engine regulations
Upland, CA. Jan. 17 – The California Construction Trucking Association (CCTA) has filed a Notice of Appeal to the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit in its nearly two-year-long legal skirmish against the California Air Resources Board (CARB) heavy-duty, on-road truck and bus regulation (CDTOA v. CARB, Case No. 2:11-CV-00384-MCE-GGH).
The CARB heavy-duty, on-road truck and bus regulation will ultimately mandate the forced replacement of most diesel powered commercial motor vehicles that do not meet 2010 EPA emissions standards to continue operating in the State of California. Current rules are forcing either the replacement of engines or retrofitting of equipment with Diesel Particulate Filters (DPF's) that can cost upwards of $20,000 per vehicle. Despite claims used to justify this regulation by regulators and environmental groups that public grant funding is readily available to assist truckers in complying – this is not true. Small-business truckers are bearing the brunt of the multi-billion dollar expense to unnecessarily replace trucks originally built and certified to U.S. EPA emissions standards.
The CCTA originally filed its litigation to CARB's diesel engine regulation in March 2011 stating the regulation is pre-empted by the Federal Aviation Administration Authorization Act (FAAAA) found at 49 USC § 14501 which prohibits states from enacting any law, rule, or regulation affecting the routes, price, or services of motor carriers. Environmental activists intervened in the case presenting a legal argument that CARB's regulation was not actually a state regulation but effectively a federal regulation when the U.S. EPA hurriedly approved the California State Implementation Plan (SIP) in 2012 that contained the challenged truck and bus regulation – nearly a year and a half after litigation began.
In December 2012, the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of California issued a decision stating that the U.S. EPA was an "indispensable party" to the litigation resulting from EPA approval of the SIP and that the court could no longer retain jurisdiction. No decision was made on the merits of CCTA's original legal argument which ultimately if CCTA loses opens the door for other states to adopt CARB's diesel engine regulations.
Besides the Notice of Appeal to the Ninth Circuit, the CCTA will now also proceed with an Original Petition to the Ninth Circuit challenging U.S. EPA's approval of the California SIP containing the heavy-duty, on-road truck and bus rule as a violation of the FAAAA and a commerce clause violation of the U.S. Constitution. The Clean Air Act (CAA) does not grant authority to US EPA to regulate in-use engines.
Separately, the CCTA is being represented by the Pacific Legal Foundation in another action challenging the process used by the U.S. EPA in approving CARB's off-road diesel engine rules.
Read an open letter the trucking industry titled "Why We Should Continue to Fight."
About the CCTA
The California Construction Trucking Association (formerly known as the California Dump Truck Owners Association) is a 501 (c) (6) trade association originally founded in 1941 and headquartered in Upland, California. CCTA membership consists of over 1,100 member motor carriers ranging in size from one-truck owner-operators to fleets with over 350 trucks. CCTA members operate in multiple modes of trucking from vocational trucking to property carrying in both intrastate and interstate commerce.

Flat Monthly Autotrading Fee
Global AutoTrading charges a flat per-service, per-account monthly fee for autotrading for accounts with less than $100k in equity:
- The first service autotraded in an account is $70 per month;
- the second service costs an additional $30 per month;
- each subsequent service. costs an additional $10 per month.
Some newsletters require more than one allocation line (for example, if the newsletter trades both stocks & options); each allocation line counts as a service for autotrading billing purposes. You are free to autotrade only stocks or options (or both).
For accounts with more than $100k in equity, a multiplier is applied to the per-service fees described above. The multiplier is the account's net liquidation value divided by 100,000. For example, an account with a net liquidation value of 150k USD autotrading a single service would pay $70 x (150k / 100,000) = $70 x 1.5 = $105 per month. The net liquidation value used will be the highest net liquidation value in the current calendar month. The tiered volume discounts that the broker offers for option trades can be larger than the Global AutoTrading fee (the broker combines the volume for all Global AutoTrading clients when applying the discount).
If you want to use multiple accounts (with the same broker), the 2nd and subsequent accounts get 20% off of their monthly autotrading fee (whether they are trading the same newsletters or not).
Please see also the current promotions page to see the various discounts available!
There is no long term commitment required, and you do not need to prepay for more than one month at a time. If you stop autotrading with at least 3 days notice before the next billing date, you will not be charged for the next month.
Broker Fees
In addition to the monthly fee, you will need to pay commission fees and other fees brokers typically charge (such as margin interest, if you borrow money from the broker). However, you may be able to benefit from the tiered volume discounts that the broker offers for option trades as we trade through each month (the broker combines the volume for all Global AutoTrading clients when applying the discount, thus even small accounts can benefit).
For more details about the broker's fees, including various exchange fees for option trades, please see the broker's web site.
The minimum capital required for opening an account is only $5000.
Newsletter Subscription Fees
You also need to pay the subscription fees directly to the newsletters you want us to autotrade.
Why a Monthly Fee?
Global AutoTrading does not mark up the broker fees at all. What your account is being charged by the broker goes all to the broker. Global AutoTrading could mark-up the broker fees, but we felt that having a monthly fee would free people from worrying about how often newsletters trade so as not to incur too much commission fees. If you take a look at Interactive Brokers' cost comparison page for example you'll see that autotrading through Global AutoTrading can be cheaper than autotrading through competitors, even including Global AutoTrading's monthly fee.

An Email a Day Keeps the Doctor Away
Brett Smith for redOrbit.com - Your Universe Online
Although it would increase convenience and overall satisfaction among their patients, healthcare providers are not ready to embrace electronic communications because of the increased workload and lack of compensation, according to a new study in the journal Health Affairs."Leaders of medical groups that use electronic communication find it to be efficient and effective - they say it improves patient satisfaction and saves time for patients. But many physicians say that while it may help patients, it is a challenge for them," said study author Dr. Tara F. Bishop, a public health professor at Weill Cornell Medical College.
"The lack of compensation is one issue, and another is that unless the practice takes steps to reduce a physician's daily workload of patients, communicating with patients is extra work that makes some doctors feel that their day can never end," she added.
In the study, Bishop and her team talked to the heads of 21 medical groups. They also interviewed the physicians and staff at six groups that regularly use electronic communications. Five of these groups had at least 110 physicians. The sixth had a group of 15 physicians housed within a large academic medical center.
All six practices said they sent test results, accepted medication refill requests, made appointments and took patient questions electronically. Three of the groups had nurses, medical assistants or case managers sort and prioritize messages from patients.
The other three provider groups allowed patients to email their physician directly. In all six programs, physician said they received between five to 50 emails per day.
One group said they had negotiated a reimbursement system for "e-visits," or electronic consultations, with insurance companies and charged patients a copayment for the service. Another clinic had provided unlimited electronic communication for a $60 annual fee, but eventually dropped the charge after competitors began providing the service at no cost.
According to Bishop, the advantages of electronic communications far outweigh the disadvantages.
"We were told that patients love this model," she said. "Leaders and frontline providers also said the system was efficient, safe, and helped them provide high-quality care. Physicians also said it was an efficient form of communication for them."
Bishop noted one major drawback with the practice that her team kept hearing over and over: a bigger workload.
"One leader said that the work never ends," she said. "It takes a psychological toll on some people - the feeling of never being done."
"Another said that in one day, he sometimes sees 10 patients face-to-face but communicates with another 50, commenting that he works all the time," Bishop added.
The public health expert also noted a lack of financial incentive for practices to pick up the additional service. However, she said potential shifts in the industry's current pay-for-service model could pave the way for more doctors to start emailing their patients.
"Despite the fact that we found experiences with electronic communications were, on the whole, very positive in the groups we studied that have embraced this technology, we believe the big stumbling block to its widespread use around the country will be compensation," Bishop concluded.

Driver Pulled to Safety in Rising Flood Waters
Update 4 p.m.
Sheriff's authorities believe it is possible that someone removed the signs posted warning drivers of high water on River Road.
If authorities are able to find who might have removed the signs, charges could be filed, said Stafford sheriff's spokesman Bill Kennedy.
Falmouth, Va. –– At least two cars are under water this morning after one person was pulled from rising flood waters.
Rescue crews were called to two incidents overnight after motorists became stranded in their vehicles.
Two vehicles became stranded on River Road in Falmouth at 1:49 a.m. and called for help. By the time rescue crews arrived, the occupants of both cars made their way safely to shore.
Following the rescue, the Virginia Department of Transportation placed signs on the roadway (which often floods) warning drivers of the danger of rising water in the area, said Stafford fire and rescue spokesman Mark Doyle.
At 4:20 a.m., a second vehicle was caught in the rapidly-rising water and rescue swimmers were sent out to pull the victim from the car and pull them to shore, said Doyle.
The victim was not injured, and crews later found that VDOT's warning signs were not where they had been placed. Fire and rescue crews worked with the county's sheriff's department to located the signs and put them back up.
It's not yet clear why the signs were moved, and a spokesman from the Stafford's sheriff's department is working to provide more details on how and where the signs were found.
We have a photographer on the way to the scene and will bring you photos as soon we get them.
River Road runs along the Rappahannock River on Stafford County's southern border with Fredericksburg and is often the site of river flooding.
The Stafford County Fire and Rescue Department has provided tips on how to avoid becoming a victim in rising waters:
-Many drivers rescued from flood waters report that they were in a hurry to get home as a reason for tempting the danger of driving into water. However it looks, and despite what car commercials depict, driving into flood waters may be the most dangerous things one might ever do, try considering the following:
-Most cars will float (and be swept away) in 18-24 inches of moving water. Trucks and SUVs are not much better with only 6-12 more inches of clearance. Creeks and rivers can rise rapidly and the road bottom can also wash away making the water much deeper than it appears.
-Once cars are swept downstream, they will often roll to one side or perhaps flip over entirely. The driver has a few precious seconds to escape the vehicle. In fact, many drivers panic as soon as the vehicle submerges and are found later with their seat belt intact.
-Determining the depth of the water is impossible rushing water can erode the asphalt or concrete roadways creating a void or sinkhole. Therefore, what appears to be a few inches of water could be a void several feet deep.
-If you encounter high water on a roadway take an alternate route, don't tempt the danger of driving through the high water. By doing so you are putting lives at risk and not only yours, your passengers and the people who will risk their lives to rescue you.Post Your Email Notices, Press Releases, Event Fliers, and Photos

Yes, I AM ALIVE! Holy moly.
We've had so much going on, oh my word! My family was in town for two weeks and we played pretty much non-stop, then we were out of town for a family reunion with Kev's family, which also included a side trip to Bryce Canyon National Park.
It's been nuts, but we've had SO MUCH FUN!
I'll do a separate post all about our fun trip. I LOVED Bryce Canyon!
I'm happy and sad to say that life should be calming down a bit because summer is almost over! My kiddos start school two weeks from today. I'm definitely looking forward to the organization and schedule that school brings, but am not happy about saying goodbye to the warm weather, playful days and more sleep!
It's bittersweet for sure.
I AM hoping to blog more regularly once school starts though. Fingers crossed.
Well, first things first….I need to announce the winner of my DICK'S Sporting Goods gift card giveaway! The winner is…..Emily S.
Congratulations Emily! I already sent you an email with information about how you can claim your prize. Thanks to all of you who entered my giveaway. I seriously wish I had gift cards to give to all of you!
Well, I'm still going strong on my Oxygen Challenge! I really love it and could actually see myself eating and working out like this forever!
I haven't taken a lot of food pics lately because I'm eating a lot of the same (boring) things!
I'm still having my favorite Oatmeal with a side of egg whites for breakfast every morning and am not sick of it yet! I actually love it and look forward to eating it.
I'm also eating a brown rice/quinoa with chicken and salad mixture quite regularly (I add a drizzle of ranch dressing to it as well.) It's also a fav!
Here are some other things I've been eating a lot lately…
- Protein Shakes
- Protein Bars (I'm loving Quest Bars)
- Veggies dipped in Hummus (HOPE Spicy Avocado Hummus is the bomb, btw.)
- Leftover chicken and steak
- Cottage Cheese mixed with fruit and sometimes nuts or coconut
- Meatza (Pizza made with a meat crust and Parmesan cheese for the cheese (I can't share the actual recipe, so sorry!)
- Hard Boiled eggs
- Banana with peanut butter (and some kind of protein on the side)
- Various salads
- Ezekiel bread with eggs
- Protein Pancakes (Chocolate Protein Pancakes are my fav, of course!)
That pretty much sums it up!
I've really enjoyed all of the food and don't feel deprived at all. I actually really like the simplicity of it all. I will say that I've occasionally eaten a few chips or fries. I haven't chowed down of them, but I've had 4-5 at various times. They always taste so good (of course!) and usually just a few of them satisfy my "crappy food" cravings.
I'm been careful to not have any sweets at all though. Once I start, I don't want to stop…..so I've made sure not to start! Ha ha. Salty foods don't set off addictions in me, so it's nice to indulge on them a little bit from time to time.
I've only had one official cheat meal so far. I consider my little "snitches" here and there to be my cheat meals. However, Kev's birthday is tomorrow and our anniversary is the next day, so I may decide to have another cheat meal on one of those days (still no sweets though!)
I have to say that I've been pretty darn proud of myself! I've stayed strong through a lot of hard situations….when my family was in town for two weeks, there was always SO MUCH food and treats around! Auuughhh…cake, cookies, candy and many, many opportunities to go to my favorite restaurants.
I've also survived my "baking teenagers" who like to make treats! Ya. This shiz went down at our house last week…
Um ya. Doesn't that look so good! I just want to take a fork and eat that whole pan right up! But, I stayed stalwart and immovable. Ha.
I also survived a day at an amusement park and just recently survived a road trip and 2 day family reunion! Woot! Before we left on our trip, I packed a bunch of healthy food…
I packed lettuce, strawberries, grapes, bananas, natural peanut butter (to add to oatmeal or bananas), Ziploc bags of oatmeal and oatmeal mix-ins, Quest Bars, carrots, bell pepper strips, hummus, rotisserie chicken pieces, hard boiled eggs, cottage cheese and Meatza!
This food saved my bacon many times! I loved having those oatmeal packets so much! I just poured one bag (included measured oatmeal and raisins) in a bowl, covered it with water and microwaved for 2 minutes. After it came out of the microwave, I added a second bag that included measured out protein powder, flax seed, stevia and cinnamon. I also added more water until it was the right consistency. Sometimes I added a spoonful of peanut butter too.
It was awesome and so easy!
I tried to eat whatever was offered at our family reunion, but I had to get a little creative sometimes. I turned "nachos" into a salad (replaced the chips with lettuce), and I turned Hoagie sandwiches into a salad a couple times too. I also skipped the cookies, chips (except for a few!), muffins, pancakes, candy and various treats. I was so happy with how I ate and was so glad I came prepared.
I ate the food I brought between meals or if I ever got hungry throughout the day. My kids had some of my food too. They especially liked the fruit or the carrots dipped in hummus.
I also tried really hard to stick to my workout schedule while we were gone. I'm sad to say that I did have to miss one workout, but I was happy that it was only one!
We hiked 6 (very hard!) miles in Bryce Canyon one day and I did one of my workouts in my hotel room one night. I packed my 10 pound weights and my resistance band (to make the weight heavier when I needed it.) It worked great, but I had a cute little "exercise buddy" that made it a little hard…
Ha ha. I finally had to wait until he went to sleep to finish my workout. I was glad I got 'er done though!
I've actually been doing most of my workouts from home lately, which is strange for me! I would much rather go to the gym or exercise outside, but it's definitely MUCH easier to just workout at home since I have a little baby right now.
I may start taking him to the daycare at the gym a couple times a week once school starts. We'll see. I just really don't love taking my itty bitty babies there. He is getting bigger though and I don't feel quite so bad leaving him when he can entertain himself a bit.
I got a KILLER workout in tonight that I loved! I officially started "Month 2" of my challenge this week and the workouts have gotten a little harder. We're focusing on individual muscle groups more and lifting heavier.
Tonight I worked triceps, shoulders and chest and I KNOW I will be feeling it tomorrow. I used 20# dumbbells for most of the exercises (shoulder press, incline bench press, upright rows, etc.) and it seemed to be the perfect weight for me!
Do you like my home gym??? Yes, it's so sophisticated. Ha ha.
I ended my workout with tricep dips and Diamond push-ups. Ummmm Diamond Push-ups are freaking hard! I could only do 3-4 on my toes and then I had to do the rest on my knees. They still kicked my trash!
I also went on a great night run with Kev last week. I never run at night by myself, but it's always fun to go with Kev. We left about 9:30 and went for 5 miles. I felt great! It was a nice cool night and I felt extra strong without the sun beating down on me!
As far as my progress goes with this challenge….I'm liking what I see! The progress is definitely much slower than I'd like it to be, but that's always the case. So far, I've lost about 5 pounds, my clothes all fit so much better and I can see more muscle definition.
I still feel chubby-ish and soft, but I'm trying to focus on my progress and not get discouraged. I definitely have more "back fat" than I'd like to have. Ha ha. Seriously, back fat is annoying. It's just not pretty to have the back spill out around the sports bra. I also just feel like my arms and legs are bigger than I'd like. My waist is still quite wide too. It's mostly flat, but just WIDE. That's usually the case with me after I have a baby….my waist always seems to take forever to shrink back down.
I'm not discouraged though because I can see a little bit of progress and I know I'm taking good care of my body! I know it's very easy to get discouraged when trying to lose weight. I know A LOT of people who get frustrated and give up when the results don't happen quick enough. I've been one of those people many times!
Here's what I would say to "those people"…
- If you eat a very healthy diet, but don't exercise, you will still see results. If you exercise, but don't eat a healthy diet, you WILL NOT see results (you might get stronger and have more endurance, but you won't see the actual results on the scale or in how your clothes fit.) If you exercise AND eat a healthy diet, you will see amazing results…it's like synergy!
- Don't compare yourself with anyone but YOU! Some people seem to lose weight easily, some have to work at it a little more. Just do your best, focus on taking care of your body and the results will eventually happen!
- When you hit a plateau and/or only lose 1-2 pounds a month (that's happened to me many, many, many times!), keep working hard and have faith in the process. It works….I promise.
- When you see someone who looks very fit, remember that it didn't happen for that person overnight! I'm SURE they work very hard, eat very well and are committed to living a healthy lifestyle. A fit, tight, lean, toned body is EARNED, not given. AND it's not just "good genes." Yes, good genes help, but they are a very, very small piece of the puzzle. When you eat crappy and sit on your bum all day long, good genes don't make a dang bit of difference.
- Keep eating well, keep exercising hard and you WILL eventually get to where you want to be! Don't give up….ever!
Well that's the end of my speech for the day. Ha ha ha.
I do want to share a few pics from my niece's wedding last week. She is the oldest grandchild on my side of the family and the first grandchild to get married.
This cute little niece of mine was born when I was 14 years old. My sisters and I played with her like she was our own real life doll. We loved her (and still love her!) so much!
The picture on the left is from her bridal shower and the one on the right is from her wedding (obviously!)
The setting at her wedding was absolutely gorgeous!
We took some fun pics with my mom and sisters too. Love them!
I snagged a selfie with my baby boy too. LOVE HIM!!!!
Well that's all the pictures I have to share! It's very late, so I need to go to bed. I love you all and hope you are all happy and healthy! xoxo

'Private Benjamin' actress Eileen Brennan dies
Actress dies at home in California after battle with bladder cancer

American actress Eileen Brennan has died at the age of 80.
She died at home in Burbank, California, after a battle with bladder cancer, her managers said.
Brennan was best-known for her role as an army captain in Private Benjamin, for which she was nominated for an Oscar as best-supporting actress.
"Our world has lost a rare human," her Private Benjamin co-star and close friend Goldie Hawn said in a statement. "Eileen was a brilliant comedian, a powerful dramatic actress and had the voice of an angel. I will miss my old friend."
Brennan achieved her first major role on the New York stage in Little Mary Sunshine, a musical comedy that won her the 1960 Obie award for best actress, as well as the attention of director Peter Bogdanovich, who cast her as a weary waitress who inherits the cafe where she works in 1971's The Last Picture Show.
She also won an Emmy for reprising her Private Benjamin role in the television version and was nominated six other times for guest roles on such shows as Newhart, thirtysomething, Taxi and Will & Grace, in which she played an over-the-top acting coach.
She also appeared The Sting, The Cheap Detective, Divorce American Style and The Last Picture Show.

I was hurting. It wasn't the only emotion I was feeling or even the strongest but it was there, nagging at me; an annoyingly persistent hangnail in my soul, taunting me in the back of my mind. The weather wasn't helping with its clouds heavy with unspilled rain lingering above as I drove the ten miles to what promised to be a long shift full of me biting my tongue through twelve hours of political discussion.
I'm not sure why everything decided to crash in on me this morning. Sure, I have had a long tumultuous stretch in my life, but the good has far outweighed the bad and the opportunities abounded in ways that I never saw coming. Still, emotions don't always work in logical ways and I just felt so…tired. So uncertain of everything.
Leave it at the door, Alice. It wouldn't do to simply plaster a smile on my face, keep an upbeat tone of voice. No. What I have discovered throughout my years in this field is that what those within my care lack in physical ability they make up for in emotional awareness. This has especially been true in private care, where we spend so much time together one on one. I can't just fake it. My client would call me on it. I took a deep breath before I unlocked the door and made a silent list of all I had in my life for which to be grateful and got to work.
I thought I was doing well. I really did. I honestly believed that I had worked my way through that vague nagging malaise that invaded my spirit this morning. Blood sugar. Morning meds. Breakfast. Wash-up. This too shall pass. This too shall pass. This too shall pass. This too shall pass. My mind unconsciously chanted as my hands moved by muscle memory.
"What's wrong, Alice?", the words cut through my repetitive thoughts. To my shock and horror, I felt tears well up in my eyes.
"Nothing. Everything. I can't really tell at the moment.", I answered honestly.
"Oh. I have days like that.", my client replied. And suddenly I felt a little better. Suddenly I felt less alone with my troubles and I was able to regroup.
We caregivers have to compartmentalize so much. It's just part of the gig. Our client's and residents have so much to deal with we never want to add to their troubles by carrying our own into the work place. Leave it at the door. It's hard for me to shut that off sometimes; that dissection of my own emotions in order to function better for those around me…that minimization of my own concerns.
It's been a process for me to learn how and when to let down those walls and sometimes I still miss the mark. Still, today my client showed me that it was nice for her to be reminded that she wasn't just being helped and comforted. She was able to help and comfort me as well.

In The Flow Past Web Kevin Marks suggests that it's important that our understanding of the time horizon around the real time web takes in both the flow of real time web streams and their past, the history in those flows.
Our lives in the real world are made up of real time flows around our senses – verbal, activity, visual, aural flows. When we experience them, we only remember some of them. Probably most of them are forgotten; those we do remember are unconsciously synthesized into memory, in what Roger Schank in Tell me a Story: Narrative and Intellegence calls story skeletons or gists. These can be retrieved later if needed, if they are stored in our memory with enough indices that we can find the appropriate one for the occasion.
In commentary about the real time web there seems to be a natural underlying feeling that the closer the real time web gets to replicating real life communication the better. On that assumption then, and drawing the two ideas above together, I've been wondering about how, or if, the real time web should be able to forget.
It's fairly easy to see that search fulfills the remembering aspect in the analogy. If content on the the web is tagged with enough indices, like our brain subconsciously tags experiences, then information we or others need can be retrieved by search engines. This fits in with the insistence – Scoble's evangalising of FriendFeed for its advanced search (now to become Facebook's) comes to mind – that real time services are much more valuable if their history can be comprehensively searched.
But what about forgetting? In real life forgetting is a way of filtering out what is not important, or that which we don't care to remember. We act on the assumption that much of what we say and do will not be remembered either by us or others. Forgetting seems to me to be both a filter to enable us to remember what is important, and a kind of safety valve. Our heads would likely burst if we were able to search and remember everything.
What we broadcast online is also subject to our normal subconscious forgetting: we forget a lot of what we put online over time, and we can assume our readers forget what we have done too, if it's not particularly important. We can also be active in forgetting, in the sense that the web is fluid and we can revise, update and delete, as long as we have control over our own data.
On the static web, outdated versions of pages slip away easily. Doc Searls recently made the point in Because advertising encourages Altzheimer's that traditional search could, but doesn't, favour archiving of the sort that enables delving into past versions of what has been online, because it is geared towards advertising not research. On the live web, Scott Rosenberg points out that blogs are potent because they are good at both modes of flow and past, in updates and archives. These are both in our control.-
In real time flow services we can delete or hide individual updates (but only to a certain extent), whole accounts, or choose to make our accounts private. However, we don't yet have the open unwalled services that would give us the same control over remembering and forgetting conversations that we can have with static web pages and blogs.
But moving back to the more metaphysical questions about remembering, forgetting and the real time flow, in The Real Time Search Dilemma: Consciousness Versus Memory Erick Schonfeld says:
If real time data streams are akin to the living consciousness of the Web, how do you search them? How do you search consciousness? It is not the same as searching memory, which is what Google does when it looks at its indexed archive of the Web and how those pieces of information build up authority over time. The real time search dilemma centers precisely around how to rank results, and how to resolve the tension between recency and relevancy….
Can you search consciousness, or can you only watch it pass by?… But it is clear that in order to make sense of the stream, it needs to be ranked by order of importance as well as by time.
He attributes his thoughts to a conversation with Edo Segal:
"Real time taps into consciousness," says Segal, "search taps into memory. That is why it so potent. You experience the world in real time."
Segal gives a deeper explanation in the comments, describing real time search as a leap in our evolution:
Imagine that every public discussion, post, video, event, are all being analyzed at once by an intelligent system, an evolving AI, take a god's eye view, think of the opportunities. Its not about getting an alert for a stock you follow or a blog post, its about connecting to humanities collective consciousness as these technologies manifest as a real world vibrant avatar of us all.
I've been musing about a kind of noosphere like this for some months now, one without religious connotations. If we are implementing platforms and feeding services on the web that approach mimicking functions of the brain, are we building a world-fed brain-like sphere of knowledge?
Schank relates intelligence to telling and listening to our everyday stories*, "the process of creating the story also creates the memory structure that will contain the gist of the story for the rest of our lives. Talking is remembering". We are defined by the stories we tell. What we don't tell is forgotten, what is only told seldom is usually forgotten over time, and what we tell over and over is remembered more, but is subject to embroidery and selected emphasis for different effects and audiences, so that truth is at best ephemeral.
If the impetus on the web is for real time flows to be like spontaneous real life conversations – telling stories – and their past is an important dimension too, and can be stored with indices and able to be searched like memory, then the analogy suggests the system itself probably needs to be able to forget, too, and only remember the things that get told with frequency over time. I guess an alternative view is that if the system can remember and retrieve more than people can, it is an advantage, just like Google can be seen as an extension to memory, a kind of Harry Potter pensieve. I'm not sure; I think I'd prefer a system where real time conversations are forgotten unless actively remembered.
*Incidentally, I think this is the secret to why Twitter and microblogging works, but that is for another post.

Preeto comes to holy city
Tribune News Service
Amritsar, July 15
"In our society, families still long to have a son, however educated or advance it may be. I myself have observed in my family that my parents always regretted not having a son. My serial revolves around the same plot," said Ankita Sharma, the lead actor of "Sawaare Sabke Sapne - Preeto", being aired on Imagine channel.
During a promotional tour of the serial in the city today, Ankita said her character Preeto traces the journey of one such daughter who is an obedient and a caring sister, a trustworthy friend and a confidante. Surpassing all this, she takes up the onus of fulfilling the dreams of her family upon her slender shoulders like the son of the house.
"Sawaare Sabke Sapne - Preeto" is a story of a Sodi family, set against the backdrop of Punjab. At the head of the family is a retired schoolmaster Gangandeep Sodi, who lives with his wife Kanwal and have not one or two, but five charming grownup daughters.
The eldest daughter is Meeta, followed by Ishmeet, Manpreet fondly known as Preeto, Bani and the youngest being Sonu. With the father struggling to make both ends meet and with no son in the family to depend on, the show traces the journey of Preeto, the third daughter, who shoulders the responsibilities like the son of the family. She happily puts her own dreams on hold in order to realise the dreams of her sisters.
From taking charge of her elder sisters' marriages to the younger ones' studies, Preeto is the veritable son of the house, who does not see these responsibilities as a burden upon herself. She gracefully faces all obstacles and strives forward with her undying positive attitude and continues to shine.
An excited Ankita Sharma said, "At the risk of sounding cliche I have to admit that this is a dream role. The very fact that my character is so simple yet complex at the same time is what made me fall in love with it. It is a very challenging role and I have put in a lot of efforts to bring Preeto to life. There is a bit of Preeto in every girl and I am sure that audiences will love her. I am delighted to be here in Amritsar and am extremely thankful to the people for their love and support."
Produced by Creative Eye Limited, the serial has Ankita Sharma as the spirited Preeto along with a lineup of noted actors like Susheel Parashar, Nitika Anand, Divya Bhatnagar, Ira Soni, Devoleena Bhattacharjee and Mahima Makwana playing her loving family members.
Announcing the launch of the show, Saurabh Tewari, Head, Programming (Fiction), Imagine TV, said, "Preeto is a story for everyone. The story brings forth to the viewers several facets of a woman, who not only supports her family financially, but also be the emotional anchor for everyone. It is a powerful story of self reliance, determination and family values told in a simplistic, real and light-hearted manner. We are optimistic that with this show we will get the entire family together in front of the television, every evening."

TALLAHASSEE — To a small conference room in his office, Senate President Harry Johnston, D-West Palm Beach, summoned a handful of key senators and aides to brainstorm Monday about issues affecting the elderly.
As Johnston scribbled notes on a legal pad, Appropriations Chairman Sen. Pat Neal, D-Bradenton, played ``prophet of doom`` -- challenging everyone in the room to attach a realistic pricetag to his or her proposals.
The debate was a clear indication that aging issues will be a frontburner topic when the Florida Legislature returns to full-time business in April 1986.
Abuse of the elderly is expected to be a major focus of the next session. Another driving force will be dollars -- the search for practical and humane alternatives to costly institutional care for senior citizens.
``We`re really going to concentrate on (elderly issues), particularly on preventative care,`` said Johnston after the meeting broke up. ``If we don`t, we`ll have a balloon mortgage of $1 billion for Medicaid nursing home beds in 1990 -- or sooner.
``If we can prescribe better nutrition, free physical exams and home health care, then we can keep them out of nursing homes,`` Johnston said.
The governor`s Florida Committee on Aging soon will present its legislative recommendations.
Meanwhile, the Senate Select Committee on Aging zeroed in Monday on its three priorities: elderly abuse, long-term health insurance and ``medigap`` insurance.
``I sit here and feel almost helpless and hopeless about this whole situation,`` said Sen. Mary Grizzle, R-Belleair Shores. She protested that she was tired of ``waiting all these years for studies`` on elderly abuse.

The French Connection II
1975, Action
Gene Hackman turns in a fine performance as he reprises his role as hard-nosed New York narcotics cop Popeye Doyle. In this sequel, Doyle travels to Marseilles to put the cuffs on drug dealer Charnier (Fernando Rey, also from the first film). But someone in America doesn't want Doyle to succeed and, in a nightmare turn of events, he finds himself kidnapped by Charnier, force-fed heroin and then left for dead. His withdrawal is uncomfortable but compelling viewing. Bernard Fresson, Jean-Pierre Castaldi and Charles Millot co-star.

The Rangers said in a statement to the Dallas Morning News, which reported the relapse, that they are "aware of a situation, but we don't have further comment at this time."
Sources familiar with the episode told the Morning News that Hamilton drank alcohol Monday night at Sherlock's Pub & Grill. A Rangers teammate, Ian Kinsler, came to the bar to try to attempt to convince him to go home.
While playing in the Tampa Bay Rays organization, Hamilton, the 2010 American League MVP, was suspended for more than three years for drug and alcohol use, missing the entire 2004 and 2005 seasons. A roughly 3 1/2-year period of sobriety ended in January 2009 when he drank to excess in a Tempe, Ariz., bar. Shortly after that incident, Hamilton notified the Rangers and Major League Baseball of his relapse, passed a drug test and enrolled in a counseling program, at the insistence of MLB.
"I got away from the one thing that kept me on the straight and narrow, and that was my relationship with the Lord," Hamilton said in 2009. "That should always come first. Hopefully some good will come out of this. It just crossed my mind that night, 'Can I have a drink?' Obviously I can't and this reinforces that. Since that night, I have not had another thought like that. I know it's something I shouldn't do because it leads to other things."
The Rangers, who did not punish him for that slip, nonetheless have a "zero tolerance" policy toward Hamilton, who is tested three times a week for drug use. In addition, he has had an accountability partner, although that job presently is vacant. Hitting coach Johnny Narron was Hamilton's support until he left for Milwaukee; Hamilton's father-in-law was hired as a special assistant to help Hamilton, but he changed his mind, citing "family considerations."
Hamilton's teammates have been supportive, switching from champagne to ginger ale to celebrate division and American League titles. There was, however, concern for Hamilton last summer after an incident in which a fan was killed in a fall from the stands as he reached for a ball Hamilton had tossed toward spectators. Firefighter Shannon Stone died July 7, as his young son watched.
"Hearing the little boy screaming for his daddy after he had fallen and then being home with my kids really hit home last night," he said afterward. "It's definitely on my mind and in my heart. I can't stop thinking about that little boy and his family."
Hamilton was in the lineup the next day, saying that he'd seek help if he needed it. Before Game 1 of the American League Division Series, he caught a first pitch thrown by Stone's son, Cooper, in an emotional ceremony.

From HuffingtonPost.com October 15, 2012 by Linda Sheehan of Earth Law Center.
In a decisive display of bipartisanship, Congress passed the U.S. Clean Water Act into law on October 18, 1972, overriding President Nixon's veto. The Act faced significant hurdles; for example, my own, pre-Clean Water Act childhood in Massachusetts included sewage-choked beaches radiating illness toward those brave enough to approach beckoning waves, and industrial waste discharges that poisoned my favorite fishing runs.
The Act responded to such highly visible insults with clear goals: achieve fishable and swimmable waters by 1983, eliminate the discharge of pollutants into navigable waters by 1985, and prohibit the discharge of toxic pollutants in toxic amounts. Fueled with funding for essential treatment infrastructure, and catalyzed by citizen lawsuits against major polluters, the Act steadily picked off much of the low-hanging pollution fruit.

It is hard to believe that the last time the US had breached its debt ceiling was a whopping one month ago. Courtesy of much toil, tears and televized theater (not to mention fake compromises), the Obama administration managed to get an accordion-feature extension of the debt-ceiling-cum-target, whereby it is currently at $14.694 trillion, and can be extended in $500 billion increments, for a total of $1.5 trillion provided congress and senate do not vote down such an expansion. The reason we bring this up is because as the data below demonstrates, the US Treasury will breach its brand new debt ceiling... on Monday.
That's right: as of yesterday, total US debt was $14.717 trillion (obviously an all time record, and every day closer to parity with US GDP), while debt subject to the ceiling was $16.772 trillion, or just $22 billion below the total before someone has to go ahead and commence the whole debt ceiling fiasco from scratch. And since as the Treasury is auctioning off another $32 billion in 3 Year bonds on Monday, that process better scramble or else all that rhetoric about Social Security being nothing but a plundered ponzi scheme will be proven true yet again. And while we see flashing headlines that Obama's proposal is now set to be a bullshit $450 billion (bullshit because republican will absolutely not go ahead with it), we are positive that not one word will be uttered to inform the public that as of this moment Harry Reed has already started the process of the next $500 billion debt ceiling expansion, one which will bring total US debt-to-GDP to over 100% for the first time since the post-WW2 period.
Most recent total debt breakdown:
And next week's full debt auction schedule.
And the issue in question that will tip us over:
The only saving grace is that the settlement of these auctions will take a few days, so the latest spectacle may take at least 2-3 days before it has to be voted on and by then everyone will have long forgotten that the US most certainly lives Keynesian paycheck (aka bond auction) to paycheck.

BILLINGS, Mont. (AP) -- Six California residents are being held on fraud and conspiracy charges for an alleged scam in which investors were promised a stake in a fictitious oil and gas project on Montana's Fort Peck Indian Reservation, authorities said Tuesday.
The first of the suspects, Mike Campa of Yorba Linda, Calif., made an initial appearance Tuesday in Great Falls before U.S. Magistrate Judge Keith Strong.
Campa did not enter a plea and said he plans to hire his own attorney, said Assistant U.S. Attorney Carl Rostad. Campa is currently detained.
An affidavit submitted by an FBI agent in the case shows that beginning in 2009, dozens of people across the country invested about $673,000 into a drilling project being promoted by the defendants.
Potential investors contacted by email and telephone were promised lucrative returns: Their initial investments were to be repaid within six months and then regular monthly checks would begin flowing thereafter.
To make the story more believable, the defendants presented a copy of a 2006 letter from the federal Bureau of Indian Affairs approving three oil and gas leases on land owned by a Fort Peck tribal member. The northeastern Montana reservation sits atop the Bakken oil patch, one of the richest oil producing regions in the U.S.
But those federal leases had been canceled for non-payment in 2007, court documents show. And authorities said the two companies created by the defendants — Domestic Energy Solutions and U.S. Oil and Gas LLC — never really pursued the oil and gas project, which was also said to include a refinery, pipelines and other infrastructure.
"Neither company has ever made any meaningful efforts to spend the money on development of oil and gas ventures at Fort Peck or anywhere else," FBI agent David Burns in Glasgow wrote in his affidavit.
The six defendants were arrested by authorities Aug. 24 in California, documents show.
Three of them — Suzette Gal and sons Andras and Krisztian Zoltan Geoge Gal — were released on bond pending Sept. 11 court appearances in Montana, Rostad said. The other defendants are Steven William Carpenter, who is currently detained awaiting a hearing in California, and Dana Yvonne Kent, who was detained and being transferred to Montana Tuesday.
Indictments have not yet been filed in the case. "We anticipate formal charges will be forthcoming," Rostad said. Rostad declined to discuss further details in the case.
The defendants could not be immediately reached for comment.
Court-appointed attorney John Barton, who represented Andras Gal following his arrest in California, said he was assigned to the case only for the detention hearing and could not speak to the allegations outlined by investigators.
Investor George Jordan, a retired veterinarian from Centereach, N.Y., said Tuesday that he invested twice with the company. That included $7,500 in 2009, according to court records, and then another $2,000 to $3,000 in recent months.
Although Jordan did not know about the criminal investigation until being contacted by an Associated Press reporter on Tuesday, Jordan said he already had decided he wasn't going to get his money back.
"They were going to drill for oil and they were going to get some kind of refinery going," he said. "But none of the promises about getting paid or money flows or staying in reasonable contact were achieved. I'm developing very little faith in the company."
Jordan said he was first approached several years ago by Campa, who touted a supposed family connection with the Fort Peck tribe that Jordan said made his tale more plausible. After nothing happened for several years, Jordan said he was approached within the last year by Carpenter, who said he was taking over the company and expected it to soon turn a profit. Jordan said he invested more money in the scheme after Carpenter assured him the project would succeed.
"He promised a contract but I never got it," Jordan said.
A criminal complaint filed by prosecutors last month detailed three alleged offenses by the defendants: conspiracy to commit fraud, which carries a maximum penalty of five years prison, and investment fraud by mail and investment fraud by wire, which carry a maximum 20 years apiece. Each of the three offenses also carries a maximum fine of $250,000.
Two of the defendants have prior federal fraud convictions, according to court records and Burns' affidavit.
Campa pleaded guilty to two counts of wire fraud in 1994 in a telemarketing fraud case targeting the elderly. Carpenter was convicted and sentenced in 1994 to 30 months in prison in California on charges including conspiracy to commit mail fraud.

I owe a BIG thank you to American Irrigation Repair. I busted a pipe doing some digging in my front yard, and they came highly recommended. They did a great job, quickly, and for a great price. In addition to the pipe that I broke, they found a sprinkler head that had been stuck below the yard surface for months and fixed it on their own initiative, without fuss and without charging more than the agreed upon price. I hope I don't need another repair job anytime soon, but if I do I know who to call. 5 stars and two very big thumbs up.

But now for something I've never ever done before: A teaser from the next book in the series – FIGHT FOR LOVE – which will be out this summer.
In FIGHT FOR LOVE you'll see the continuation of Diana and Ryder's relationship, a new love story with slayer-turned vampire Benjamin and a delicious suspense with a villain who both kills and steals energies from his victims! Look for FIGHT FOR LOVE in August.
Chapter 1
The first kill had been a spur of the moment decision and had brought too much scrutiny.
A mistake that would not be repeated.
It had taken a month of careful scouting to get to this point. A month of identifying the individuals who possessed sacred life forces and learning their habits, including this little meeting at the local santero's shop in Spanish Harlem. A real santero gifted with enormous powers unlike some of the fakes who dotted the landscape of the barrio.
But the santero wasn't going to the be first one taken.
The weakest link was always the easiest and this time, the evidence of what had been done would not be as obvious as with the slain Slayer Council member.
She strolled out of the santero's shop with the other gifted ones, smiling almost beatifically. She really was very beautiful, with flawless coffee-colored skin and a body meant for sin. But her beauty would not save her. If anything, it would increase the enjoyment of what was to follow and the pain she would suffer.
Following behind at a discreet distance, hunting her, stimulated the growing core of blackness inside.
The thrill of the chase brought intense excitement, especially as she waved her friends goodbye and moved off on her own.
She never bothered to look around, even in the neighborhood that was so-so at best.
Youth never understood their own mortality.
Another block and there was a little more distance from friends and the santero's shop. They were also a little closer to the small storefront just off the FDR drive where everything was waiting for her arrival and in a way, her departure.
Speeding up, the distance between them shortened and as if finally sensing a presence, she nervously looked over her shoulder. She offered an uneasy smile for a brief moment and increased her pace, but it was too late.
With a surge of speed, she was imprisoned.
A sharp blast of power made her knees buckle and she fell to the ground.
Lifting her, she was slight and her weight seemed almost non-existent, but power radiated from every cell in her body.
After tonight, there would be no turning back. No escaping the path to soul-eating darkness. It would be worth it for the incredible mind-blowing power to be possessed.
It would be as it should have been all along.
Nothing could stop it now.

Not long ago we told you about the "remote control" application for the iPhone 2.0.
Well, it turned out to be real. The app will allow you to fully control your iTunes with your iPhone via Wi-Fi network.
It is now available at the newly opened AppStore and, as I said, all you need is an iPhone (3G) running the firmware version 2.0.
