Ever have someone complain of vomiting? Just like your car works fine when you take it to the auto mechanic, vomiting patients never seem to vomit when you see them.
Well one lady today decided she wanted to drive the point home that she was *really* sick. So she began retching loudly over and over again as if she was going to vomit. Everyone ran around pulling the cabinets apart looking for a vomit basin. They found one, rushed to hold it under the patient's chin, and then she hawks up a little loogie and spits in the bottom of the bowl. Everybody just threw up their arms in the air, rolled their eyes and walked away. No ma'am, that's not vomit, it's saliva. Possibly a small amount of sputum mixed in, but the predominant composition is saliva.
After the patient left, I commented about how the people who retch never seem to get up any stomach contents. My nurse called the process "fretching" – fake retching. Congrats, Colleen – your new word is the first post on the blog. Will submit this to Websters for their consideration next year.
Update: Although not contained in the dictionary, the word "fretch" has been used before. Rats.

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) has developed a new demonstration initiative to reward the delivery of high-quality care supported by the adoption and use of electronic health records (EHR). The goal of this five-year demonstration project is to foster the implementation and adoption of EHRs and health information technology (HIT) more broadly as effective vehicles, thereby improving the quality of care provided and transform the way medicine is practiced and delivered.
Participants in the demonstration are required to have a Certification Commission for Healthcare Information Technology (CCHIT)-certified EHR by the end of the second year. As part of the demonstration, physician practices must have already utilized the EHR to perform specific minimum core functionalities that can positively impact patient care processes (e.g., clinical documentation, ordering of lab tests, recording lab tests, and recording of prescriptions). However, the core incentive payment will be based on performance on the quality measures, with an enhanced bonus based on the degree of HIT functionality used to manage care.
The demonstration is being implemented in two phases. Phase I includes the following four sites
Recruitment of physician practices in the four Phase I sites was initiated on September 2, 2008, and the enrollment period closed on November 26, 2008. Phase I demonstration operations will begin June 1, 2009.
Practice recruitment in the remaining 8 (Phase II) sites will occur late summer and fall 2009.

This is going to be a bit more of a personal post as it's been forever since I wrote anything.
To start off I swear I will not promise I'm going to post more, say how bad I've been and give plans. Nope this is just a post no clue when the next will be.
|Brainstorming Puzzle Pieces
using Isometric Drawings
I believe the last time I wrote I said about how I had gotten a full-time teaching job and my time had become very limited. Yep that's true. I've been working at a local high school since the start of the school year teaching the the Freshman level Engineering Magnet Classes along with Drafting. I love it! Though freshman can be a bit tiresome at times, mostly because they're impatient and seem to lack in common sense, I love the material and they are amusing.
I have my part time Online Math teaching job going also so wow am I busy. I miss this blog and everyone so much though.
Here's some examples of things we've done in class.
|2 Point Perspective Drawing
We do a lot of sketches and drawings. In Engineering we go through the design process where in Drafting we talk about and complete technical drawings.
These are hand examples but we do a lot on the computer also. The amount of technology I use on a given day is crazy. Without my phone I feel like I've lost a hand because I use it for all sorts of things on a day to day basis.
|The Tardis- 3D Printed - Not done as a class project
but by 2 students in their spare time.
My students are also huge geeks. Mostly boys and that I have had to stop numerous arguments on who is the stronger super hereo, Marvel vs. DC, Xbox One vs PS4, Star Wars vs Star Trek, PC vs Mac, Apple vs Android. The list goes on and on.
It does make my day more interesting that many of my students like the same things as me but I do have to be careful because they are not all geeks.
A story from a few weeks ago. I'm describing the different between the Center of Gravity of an Object and it's Centroid. I used the example of a broad sword where the center of gravity is right at the hilt but the centroid would be down the blade. Yeah most of them got it right away.
I worry about running into them at Comic Conventions though, some even cosplay. I was spared any run it at Ren Fair but I don't think I'll be so lucky with the Cons.
Besides a general update I have an idea for a post about technology I use in the classroom. Some of it may come in handy for Homeschool parents or others who teach online.
Writing this post I hadn't realized how much I miss writing the blog. I'll attempt to find some time and with summer just around the corner maybe I'll succeed. I hope everyone is doing okay. :)
In Frith,

How to Meet Local Singles Online for Freeby Curtis Fease
Many people have given up on conventional ways of finding dates and turned to the internet. There are several sites that claim they will pick out the best match for you, for a monthly fee. Several people do not know, however, that it is easy to find local singles online for free. Making use of a few social network websites, you can possibly find your soul mate, all for the low price of free.
Meet Singles on Myspace
Register for Myspace at Myspace.com. If you already have a Myspace account, sign in. If not, click on "Sign Up." This will take you to the sign up page. Enter all of your information. Make sure you enter everything (including age and zip code) correctly, as this will help others find you if they're searching for love and you pique their interest.
Click on the link on your Myspace page that says "Upload" next to Photos, or the "Add/Edit Photos" link. This will allow you to upload a picture, which is very important in your online search for love.
After uploading a picture, hover your cursor over the "Profile" link. Go down to the "Edit Profile" link and click it. Enter all information that you think someone would be interested in and save it. After saving, hover your cursor over the "Friends" link. Move down to the "Browse People" link and click it
Click on what you are looking for in a person to date. The basic information the search will look for is sex, age, relationship status, and how close they are to a given zip code. Enter your zip code and indicate how far away from that zip code you want Myspace to search. If you click "Advanced," near the top right of the search box, you will be given many other options. These options include ethnicity, education and body type. Once you click "Update" after selecting your preferences, Myspace will show you a large group of people from your area that match those preferences.
Scan through the profiles that come up to see if anyone piques your interest. Some people may have private profiles, at which time you must add them to view their profiles. Most users, however, will allow you to message them. Select a few people, or just one special one, and send them a message to start up a conversation. Let them know you thought their profile was interesting. Ask any questions you may be wondering. Remember, only people with "Single" selected as their relationship status will show up on your search, so you don't have to worry about hitting on someone who is taken.
Check back at your Myspace often to see if anyone has contacted you.
Meet Singles on myYearbook
Browse to myYearbook.com in your internet browser. When the page comes up, look to the right where it says "Join Now Free." Enter all of your information here and accept the terms, then click "Join Free." If this section is no longer on the page, click on "Sign Up," enter your information, and click "Done."
Follow the instructions until you are told to select a photo to upload. Pick out your favorite photo of you and upload it onto the site. This will allow other interested singles to see you. You will be taken to your home page after this.
Look for the magnifying glass near the top right of your home page. Click on the magnifying glass and you will be taken to a browse page. Click on the "Advanced Search" tab. Select what you are looking for in a partner, including how many miles within your zip code you want them to live. Make sure you click the "Single" box, then click "Search". MyYearbook may now ask that you enter a code they provide. Do not worry, this is just spam protection. Enter the code and continue. MyYearbook will then give you a usually large list of people that match your criteria.
Look through the profiles myYearbook returned and see if anyone interests you. Now you can send these people messages. MyYearbook also allows you to subtly let someone know you like them. You can click on the small heart on someone's profile to secretly admire them, and then myYearbook will inform them someone has a crush, and they'll be given the chance to find out who you are by admiring you back. If they like you as well, myYearbook will let you know. You can also click on the set of lips on someone's page to flirt with them, without sending a message. All of these methods will allow you to break the ice.
Keep checking back and searching at myYearbook. New people sign up everyday, and someone may be trying to reply to one of your flirts.
- check You can also sign up at http://www.hotornot.com and search for locals. Hot or not doesn't give the option to find singles, but you can easily match with people in your area. One of you must have a paid membership to chat, so it is not completely free for both people. You can narrow your search at Myspace by selecting clicking the boxes next to "here for dating/relationships". This will only show you people who are actively looking for relationships.
- close Make sure put safety first. If you find someone online and decide to meet them, make sure the first time you meet is in a public place

Friday and Saturday look to be fascinating learning days! I have signed up to participate in the first International freelancer's day. Not since Charles Handy wrote about the Portfolio life has something as revolutionary taken place. For 2 years I have been studying the impact of technology convergence on the digital lives of people and how boundaries and assumptions are crumbling in the wake of the relentless march of ever increasing connectedness. On Friday and Saturday I get to see and listen to people describe how to practically use the existing and emerging tools of the digital age as well as networking and collaboration skills to create a successful freelancing business.

Have your budgie featured here! I talk a lot about the parakeet sounds I know about, but I'd like to post some examples. If you have a good video or audio clip you'd like me to feature for your little rock-star, contact me here.
List of Parakeet Sounds
So what kinds of sounds can parakeets (budgies) make? Well, there isn't really a limit to parakeet sounds especially after you have them trained to talk. (Yes, this is possible!) I'll talk about that more at the end of the page. Some of their natural sounds are as follows.
The Squawk
This is the sound your budgie will make if he is excited about something. He could be upset at another bird, or carrying on and rough housing. Also, he'll scream like that if there's a lot of noise that he loves and wants to try to be louder than the noise. this can be a vacuum cleaner, running water, or loud music. Parakeets love noise. If you have a personal relationship with your bird already, then it's common for bratty budgie to squawk at you if they are demanding something – a slice of pizza, wanting to be let out of the cage or to be covered for the night.
The Call
This is is my personal pet peeve. The parakeet call drives me crazy, but there is a way to make you budgie stop from making noises you don't like. I'll touch more on that as well. My personal critique on this sound aside, this is a chirp sound that a budgie will use (over and over) to call you, or another budgie from another room.Your budgie might try to call a wild bird from outside (My bird Sam loves sparrows). They will also call if they think a sound might be a bird even if it isn't. A squeaky door or running water will commonly cause your bird to make this sound. Also, if you bird is young (6-12 weeks), this will be the only sounds it will know. Don't worry your parakeet will know many more sounds given some time.
This is what adult parakeets do a lot more of. This will be at first just the parakeet signature chatter sound. Once they start mimicking sounds or start speaking, it will be inside the chatter that you will hear additional sounds and words. They'll chatter to music, any white noise, motors, vacuums etc. They'll chatter to each other if you have more then one budgie and they also tend to chatter themselves to sleep. Males tend to chatter more than females, but the girls will certainly do a lot of chattering too.
Exponential Noise
I love the sounds budgies make! This is one of the things that make having a parakeet a blast. But I should take a moment to let you know that budgies tend to be louder the more parakeets you have. Now this sounds obvious at first but there is more to it. If you have one budgie he'll sound like one budgie, but if you have two budgies, you now have about three times the noise you had before! With three budgies, they would sound more like the equivalent of about five single budgies. I've had a flock of five before, so trust me about this phenomenon! And yes they sounded like I had a million birds in my house!
Avoiding "Bad" Sounds
Now will also be a good time to tell you the best way to avoid noises you don't like from your parakeets. If you don' like the squawking or calling, or some other annoying sound they picked up, there is a simple solution. Sam used to squawk a lot especially when I'm trying to watch an action movie and it's very distracting! All I did was every time she did this, I automatically covered her cage. No scolding, no yelling, no big deals…Just squawk equals cover.
You have to be consistent with this though. You have to do it EVERY TIME you hear the sound you want to reduce. Budgies are social creatures and they also have a small attention span, so being covered is very lonely and boring for them, and they usually just get bored and take a nap. This works well as both a punishment and some immediate relief from the offending sound. The only time Sam squawks now is if she is purposely asking to be covered for sleeping for the night or having nap. Again, squawk equals cover.
Mimic And Talking
Parakeets are mimics and can learn just about any sound you can imagine. They love high pitch noises like squeaky doors and microwave bells, and they love to whistle. The reason for the high pitch noises is because it's physically easier for them to do. However, they are capable of learning other sounds as well. In fact, you can train your parakeet to talk like any other parrot! Learn more about it in my e-course here budgiesaspets.com or you can check out this detailed course of how to do it.

THEIR flirtation with stardom totalling a couple of novelty-ish top 10 singles circa 2003 – Danger! High Voltage and Gay Bar – the name Electric Six will likely elicit a "where are they now?" from most people today.
Electric Six
ABC, Glasgow
Star rating: * * *
But the comedic Detroit disco-rockers remain an on-going concern, releasing an album almost every year and keeping a loyal live following The gang of lads up back dressed as caricature homosexuals in tight T-shirts, handlebar moustaches and aviator shades probably keep coming back for those two songs in particular.
Gravelly voiced, tongue-never-far-from-cheek frontman and songwriter Dick Valentine remains the only original member, as Electric Six succumb to "band plays classic album in full" temptation ("classic" is loosely applied) with Fire – their 2003 debut which spawned their most recognisable material. The other five members for their part were suitably straight-faced sidemen, decked-out like 1970s Vegas card-sharks, all white trousers, and sunglasses.
Fire could most generously be described as two hit singles and several other songs that sound similar to them. But it was all the soundtrack necessary for the amped-up irony-fest people had come for, from distorted rifforama Dance Commander through to the electro-fried groove of Synthesiser.
Peaking early was always going to be a problem, and much as Valentine solo number Jimmy Carter and I Buy The Drugs made for a fun finale, there was little recreating supercharged disco-rocker High Voltage and twangy garage stomp Gay Bar's earlier buzzes. Goodness knows you'd have been gutted to discover either or both was played while you were at the loo.

Maybe she was really ashamed of herself and overdosed.
She was probably just passing the time and sounds insincere. Don't waste your time.
If she was drunk and you two made out in a drunkin stupor maybe she's embarrased .
If you were drinking and passed out...I'm sure she didn't like that. Your right. She should be more blunt and tell you her feelings. You sound a little desprite and thats never good. If she wont tak to you then move on.

Option B: She was drink and then realised that she now dosnt like you or is to embarressed.
stop! you're creeping her out and shes probably laughing at you with her friends. If you werent shed respond to you in a heart beat. Some girls just dont have the balls to be upfront.
She was a **** with a boy friend... ...... and she can't let him find out now can she? So what you have to do now is tell all your mutual friends how she gave you a Bj at that party and that's why she wont talk to you. Come on man save face mix in a little anal but she couldn't handle you cause you're so huge. Lol That's what I would do
Who says she liked you in the first place?

Throwing down on a stranger at a party doesn't include "like"....

"horny", "ill-advised", "potentially hazardous", "illicit" and "fun"..apparently yes

One night is one night...

This probably isn't her every day behavior and she's sure you think it is...
In this case I wouldn't say that she is liked you even when you kissed and made out. At the time she kissed you it might have been something that she felt to do at the time because she was drunk or she just felt to do so. If you where clever enough to just ask and find out what she felt at the time when you kissed... did she say a word or anything that might have hinted on you to liking each other? if not then you are wasting your time because the truth is she is not that into you.. she kissed because it was only the heat of the moment.
I am so sorry but in my opion I would take that as a hint that she isn't really into ya and was only into ya at the party for sex and to play mind games, I cannot stand people like this!!
Dude. Honestly. There's enough BS in life without going out and looking for it. Forget her.

this time of year in your square foot garden. It's hard spending all this time planning, planting, watering, and caring for your gardens ony to come out one morning to discovered it's all been killed off by an unexpected frost. I think it's a good idea to get in the easy habit of looking at the weather forecast. When I looked today I saw the following projected evening low temperatures: 51/41/32/35/40/42. We are usually colder in our neighborhood than they are where they record the official temperatures. Of course, by limiting the size of our gardens, it's a simple matter of protecting them with plastic. There is no way you're going to be able to do that with a traditional garden. Well, not easily anyway. So knowing this, I won't cover my gardens tonight, but I will for the next several days. That way I won't have to worry about anything I've grown being ruined by a frost. This picture shows my sugar snap peas. These are planted 8 per square, and you plant them just as they're shown-at the back of the box. You will find some bad advice about how to grow sugar snaps in the SFG method on the internet. This way they grow right on up the strings. If you look closely you will see that I use tent posts to push into the ground to make the string taut. If you're string/nylon is not tight, things will start to droop instead of climb. I should have my first batch of sugar snaps in about 10 days. One last thing-you will notice some empty space in front of the sugar snaps. This can be used to plant more letuce, spinach, carrots, onions, etc…..t
What to watch for….

A man charged last month with his fourth DUI will remain out of jail on bond but must wear an alcohol monitoring device, a judge ruled Friday morning.
The judge told Jeremy Church if he even takes a sip of alcohol, the monitor will light up and he will be thrown in jail until his charges are settled.
The device Church must wear is called a SCRAM device and will be worn around his ankle.
SCRAM devices take samples of perspiration every 30 minutes to monitor and report blood alcohol levels.
Church has also entered an extensive outpatient program at Cumberland Heights drug and alcohol rehab center, his attorney said.
His license has not been revoked.
The 31-year-old Church was stopped on Elliston Place on November 26 after an officer spotted him driving down the center turn lane without making a turn.
During the traffic stop, Church refused to get out of the car and instead asked if he could sleep in the backseat.
Church is next due in court January 9.

Frosted Chocolate-Buttermilk Cupcakes
Dutch-process cocoa powder has a more mellow flavor and darker color than regular cocoa powder; it is available at baking-supply stores and many supermarkets. Note: To divide evenly, use an ice-cream scoop to ladle the batter into the muffin cups. This also prevents drips.
Total Time:
Level: Easy
Yield: 12 cupcakes
- ¾ c. all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled)
- ¾ c. sugar
- 1 tsp. baking powder
- ½ tsp. baking soda
- ¼ tsp. salt
- 6 tbsp. Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 3 tbsp. unsalted butter
- 6 tbsp. buttermilk
- 1 large egg
- 1 large egg white
- Light Cream-Cheese Icing
- Candy decorations (optional)
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line standard 12-cup muffin tin (or two 6-cup muffin tins) with paper liners. In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt; set aside.
- With an electric mixer, combine cocoa and 3 tablespoons hot water until a thick paste forms (this process intensifies the chocolate flavor). Add butter, buttermilk, egg, and egg white; beat until combined. Whisk in flour mixture until smooth.
- Scoop (or spoon) batter into prepared tin(s). Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center of a cupcake comes out clean, about 20 minutes. Transfer cupcakes to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Use an offset spatula or butter knife to spread Light Cream-Cheese Icing over tops. Decorate as desired.

Biking Culture……Non-bicycle blogs (Part II): The Sartorialist
Even if style and fashion don't hold much interest for you, the quality of The Sartorialist's spontaneous portrait photography is consistently excellent.
Plus, the site's creator, Scott Schuman, seems to be on the lookout for interesting people — mostly street chic woman — using bicycles for their everyday transportation. For that reason alone its worth a look.
(Note: I believe Copanhagen Cycle Chic was the first to popularize the-girl-riding-a-bike genre. UPDATE: a couple more interesting sites along the same line have been pointed out to me– Bike Fancy and bikes + babes)
Finally, a beach cruiser bicycle used for what it's intended for: cruising the beach!
- The original post can be found here.
This is not a model, just a regular New Yorker spotted by The Sartorialist.
The bicycle, however, doesn't seem appropriate for the task at hand (where's the basket to hold those groceries and there's water in the street, but no fenders to stay dry?).

Trying to lock-up your bike without getting your semi-transparent skirt dirty…I've been there, haven't we all, lol?

Hi Nathan, I am sure I can count on you to check out the chic women using bicycles on The Sartorialist since fashion is not of interest to you 😉 . I've heard of The Sartorialist, but never got a chance to view it so thanks for introducing it to me. Love it!

Black Widow (1987)
Director: Bob Rafelson
By Marilyn Ferdinand
This post is part of For the Love of Film (Noir): The Film Preservation Blogathon.
Since Play Misty for Me came on the scene in 1972, numerous contemporary films have explored the horror of the psychotic femme fatale. Fatal Attraction (1987), Basic Instinct (1992), and even the deranged female fan of Misery (1990) all want to love their men to death. The one that has stuck with me the longest is Black Widow, in which it appears that Theresa Russell and Debra Winger were more made for each other than for any man, but in which Winger, a federal investigator named Alexandra "Alex" Barnes, tracks Russell, a black widow who marries rich men and kills them.
The film offers no doubt that our black widow, known by many names and in many guises, kills her husbands. Our first real encounter with her is as a Texas-style belle, all blonde and big-haired, with long, red-painted nails, injecting a liquor bottle with something that will make it appear as though her rich husband died of a rare syndrome called Ondine's Curse. After the funeral, she takes a trip to forget, or rather, a trip from which she never intends to return. She moves to Seattle after carefully investigating the background and habits of another rich man, William McCrory (Nicol Williamson), and adopts another, more studious and refined persona, one that would appeal to McCrory. Once again, she marries, and once again, her husband dies.
Alex insists that these men were murdered. She obtains photos of the dead men and notes that the bride they all have on their arm is the same woman. Unfortunately, her boss (Terry O'Quinn) cannot believe that a woman would be capable of a complex series of seductions and murders. Frustrated, Alex quits her job and follows the black widow's trail to Hawaii, where she has set her sights on another rich man (Sami Frey) to seduce.
The classic noir structure is in place, one involving murder, a sexy and duplicitous femme fatale, money, and a detective trying to unravel the whole rotten puzzle—indeed, a detective who has to go outside the normal channels to catch the villain. The twist, of course, is that the sparring partners and almost-lovers in this film are both female, and that the femme fatale's motive for murder doesn't really seem to be about the money at all. The noirish atmosphere and psychological underpinnings of Black Widow are found more in the characterizations than in an overarching style of expressionistic cinematography and cynical dialogue that typify classic noir. There are some shots that are clearly indebted to noir films' contrast of beauty and sordidness, for example, a shadow of our femme fatale and her next victim set in a tropical paradise, and one can never go wrong with Conrad Hall behind the camera. Yet, the camerawork doesn't set the mood—the two lead actors do.
Like classic noir, Black Widow is a critique of its times. Rather than look at the black widow's money grabs as a hunger after years of wartime deprivation and malaise, or a chance to have power after an era of powerlessness under fascistic oppression, we see instead no easily discernible reason for her actions at all. She seems in thrall to grasping for more money than she could ever waste and afflicted with a restless mobility, both attitudes that infected the 1980s. The bond Russell and Winger form seems post second-wave feminist if it seems like anything. Winger's boss underestimates women, including Alex, who has been laboring in the trenches for six years with no apparent road being paved to higher responsibility. Russell, calling herself "Linny" when she meets Alex, clearly feels at ease only around women. Alex is the only person we see her drop her guard with; all the men she so calculatingly seduces have no idea who she is or what she's capable of. Yet, like a classic femme fatale, when cornered, she'll strike out to survive, even at those she cares about. She nearly drowns Alex when she discovers that Alex is really on her trail—a warning shot across Alex's bow that, had "Linny" been a little more frightened, would have been fatal.
It's telling to me that Alex is a career woman with no apparent romantic life and a nickname that could belong to a man. The homoeroticism in her dealings with "Linny" track butch/femme, including sharing a regulator when they both take diving lessons that finally is realized into a hard, fast kiss at "Linny's" fourth marriage, with "Linny" still in her wedding dress and flower veil. It's very easy to see the pair as Sam Spade tangling with Brigid O'Shaughnessy, and in many ways, the film plays like The Maltese Falcon (1941), with a sad parting for the women. Alex is pledged to nail a killer—and just like Bogey, her professional life and values are on the line, so she can't play the sap for Russell—but there's an air of regret at losing the one person she might truly have loved.
Alex was allowed by "Linny" to "have" the man she had set her sights on for her next conquest, only to have "Linny" coolly steal him back with a nude swim after weeks of denying him sex. Will Alex pick up where she and the man left off—she saves him in a clever ruse—after "Linny" is carted away? Many modern films punt to the triumph of romance, but Black Widow isn't buying it. Alex, like Russell's character, has become a black widow, too.
For an interesting companion film, I suggest Paul Verhoeven's 1983 psychohorror film The Fourth Man, which opens and closes with a spider killing and eating its prey and offers a black widow character in between, though the protagonist is a gay man after sex, not money.
21st/02/2011 to 10:53 pm
I felt Winger was overwhelmed in this one by Russell, easily, and not just because of the script, she's kinda strident – I always thought it would've been more fun if the roles were reversed. It's a little predictable, even the ending didn't surprise me, but I liked it more that way – even better if Winger's character had really been learning the trade from the beginning. I watched it again on TV about a year ago, and it's still a well paced film, still fun to watch.

WASHINGTON — Congress ran full-tilt into election-year gridlock over immigration Thursday and staggered toward a five-week summer break after failing to agree on legislation to cope with the influx of young immigrants flocking illegally to the United States.
Faring far better, a bipartisan, $16 billion measure to clean up after a scandal at the Department of Veterans Affairs and a second bill to prevent a cutoff in highway funding gained final passage in the Senate and were sent to President Barack Obama for his signature.
With lawmakers eager to adjourn, legislation to send Israel $225 million for its Iron Dome missile defense system was blocked, at least initially, by Republican Sen. Tom Coburn of Oklahoma.
Three months before midterm elections, the unbreakable dispute over immigration exposed not only enduring disputes between the parties, but also differences inside the ranks of House Republicans and among Senate Democrats.
House Speaker John Boehner accused Democrats of pursuing a "nutso scheme" of trying to seize on the border crisis to try to grant a path to citizenship to millions of immigrants living in the country illegally.
Countering, White House spokesman Josh Earnest said blame for failing to fix problems at the border rested with Republicans. He charged they have refused to provide "the necessary resources to deal with what they themselves describe as a serious problem."
Despite Boehner's accusation, it was Republican unity that cracked first during the day.
A few hours after Boehner spoke, Republicans abruptly canceled a vote on their own border security legislation, a $659 million measure that also would make it easier to deport the children from Central America now flooding into the United States. They did so after a revolt by tea party-aligned GOP lawmakers, some of whom had conferred with Texas Sen. Ted Cruz the night before.
They argued that the leadership's offer of a vote on a companion bill, even if it were approved, would fall short of reversing a 2012 administration policy under which 500,000 immigrants living in the country illegally have obtained work permits.
A short while later, a $2.7 billion Democratic alternative to ease the crisis at the border perished in the Senate, blocked by Republicans and two Democrats seeking changes.
So chaotic was the day that after initially announcing the House had taken its last vote, Republicans abruptly reversed course and announced plans to reconvene on Friday for a possible vote on legislation related to border security and immigration — details yet to be determined.
Asked what would change overnight, Rep. Spencer Bachus of Alabama said of fellow Republicans: "I'm hoping some people will grow up."
Whatever the eventual outcome in the House, there was no talk of any compromise with the Senate before lawmakers left town, Thursday night for the Senate and Friday for the House.
The veterans bill cleared the Senate on a vote of 91-3, one day after the House passed it by 420-5. It was a response to the extremely long delays that some veterans experienced while waiting for care, as well as a cover-up by some agency officials.
Most of the money will be used to let veterans seek care from outside physicians if they live more than 40 miles from a VA facility or face a long wait to see a doctor at one. The legislation also would allow the hiring of additional physicians for the VA and permit the firing of senior executives guilty of poor performance.
The Transportation Department set Friday as the date the Highway Trust Fund will no longer be able to provide all the aid promised, and estimated that states could expect an average reduction of 28 percent unless Congress acted by then.
With time running out, the Senate voted 81-13 to pass a House-approved measure making $10.8 billion available, enough to last until May.

A report from Democratic Senate Campaign Committee spokesman Austin Shafran, who is traveling with Senate Minority Leader Malcolm Smith as they traverse southern New York in their quest for the Senate majority:
According to Shafran, turnout in Western New York is high, turnout in the North Country is lower than expected, and the turnout in New York City is off-the-charts.
Smith lined up to vote in Queens at 5:30 a.m. and was the 150th person for the one machine he was one when the polls opened at 6 a.m. As they drove through the district, they saw lines coming out of polling sites.
Smith attended events for Joseph Addabbo in Queens, Brian Foley and Kristen McElroy on Long Island, and is headed to an event with Sen. Craig Johnson on Long Island as well. After that, he'll be in Westchester with Sens. Suzi Oppenheimer and Andrew Stewart-Cousins, and then back to Queens to do one last event with Addabbo before heading to the Democratic party in Manhattan.

May 29, 2014 John Hofilena Politics 1
The issue behind the historical figure of Ahn Jung-geun, a Korean freedom fighter and activist who assassinated the Korean Peninsula's first Japanese governor-general in the northern Chinese city of Harbin, will always be a complicated one, especially between the three nations involved – Japan, South Korea, and China. And it seems like Beijing wants to point this historical issue at Japan by putting up two memorials in the Korean hero's name, the second one a monument to Ahn in the Chinese city of Xian, which was just unveiled on Thursday, May 29.
The monument is no doubt a not-so-subtle criticism of the historical stance of Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe. Both Chinese President Xi Jinping and South Korean President Park Geun Hye have refused to officially meet with Abe after he visited the controversial Yasukuni Shrine – a memorial to Japan's war dead, including several World War II criminals – in December 2013, with South Korea even withdrawing its ambassador to Japan in protest. Park had herself made a visit to Xian in June of 2013, and proposed to the city government about building a monument to Ahn Jung-geun, this after her talks with Xi.
The first memorial to the Korean freedom fighter was built in the city of Harbin, where a hall in the train station where the exact assassination happened was named after Ahn. Japan had criticized and protested to this action, calling Ahn a "terrorist". When the press covering the train station memorial's unveiling pointed Japan's protest, Chinese foreign ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying said that China wasn't worried. "As to problems it may bring, I believe that we should view this as normal. Because I believe that everyone should remember history so as to take a better attitude to face up to the future," Hua said at that time. Tokyo has yet to lodge a formal reaction to the second monument in Xian.

|Frequent flyer on a mission
|Written by Carol Pomeday
|Wednesday, 13 October 2010 15:18
Don Kabara of St. Joseph's Church in Grafton has been on a relentless mission to help the poor of the Dominican Republic for 23 years—and he's not stopping nowMention Los Toros to Don Kabara of Grafton and his face positively glows.
He loves the people there and they love Sénor Donald, rushing to greet him each time he visits with hugs and kisses and repeated "Muchas gracias" for what he and the members of St. Joseph's Catholic Parish of Grafton have done for them.
A deacon at the church, Kabara spearheaded the parish's global outreach mission in 1987. He recommended working with Los Toros in the Dominican Republic after visiting several other villages there and in Haiti, Brazil and Guatemala.
"They were somewhat organized and I felt they were ready to collaborate with us," Kabara said.
At the time, people were hauling water from the polluted river that surrounds the community on three sides. They lived in makeshift huts with dirt floors and many were starving.
Twenty-three years and more than 100 visits later,
the people of Los Toros are still poor, but their lives are much better. Many houses have running water and concrete floors.
Farmers formed a cooperative to produce more food to feed their families and sell at markets. Their children are going to preschool, primary and secondary schools and a few are in college.
They built a preschool, medical and dental clinic, church, library, guest house, mission house and women's sewing center and recently acquired an ambulance.
Now, they want to help their neighbors. "In the last few years, the people of Los Toros have taken us to neighboring villages and said, 'We want to help them, but we need you to help us help them,'" Kabara said. "Isn't that wonderful?"
Kabara is realizing a dream he's had since becoming a deacon in 1977. Six months after his ordination, he attended a conference in which the speaker challenged the deacons to get involved in global outreach.
"My dream is to work with people and help the poor and the suffering, and to grow spiritually," Kabara said.
Kabara, 69, who worked in international sales for Frank Mayer & Associates in Grafton for 30 years, retired at age 61 to fulfill his dream. He traveled to Brazil and other South American countries with his job.
"That's when I learned how enriching it was to be in other cultures," Kabara said.
He also retired from his liturgical duties — officiating at marriages, baptisms, funerals and assisting at Masses — to concentrate on St. Joe's global outreach mission. He is officially listed as a retired deacon.
"I don't believe in retirement. I believe in changing one's life direction," Kabara said. "I think when we become older, we have a unique opportunity to grow and pursue our dreams."
His and the parish's goals are for the Grafton and Los Toros communities to learn about and appreciate each other's culture while enabling Los Toros to improve its living conditions by focusing on community development, education, health and spirituality.
Solidarity is a word often used to describe their mission.
"We debated what solidarity means. We've all heard, 'You can give a man a fish and he will eat for one day or you can teach a man to fish and he will eat for a lifetime.' We don't want to just teach a man to fish, we want to go fishing with him," Kabara said. "That's solidarity, walking beside them."
Parishioners do that by living in people's homes with no indoor plumbing, taking cold showers, eating the food they eat and experiencing the joyfulness of the community, he said.
"Although they are poor, they have a joyful outlook on life. They are always positive and filled with joy," he said.
Committees in Los Toros and Grafton choose the projects they will collaborate on. The parish sends people to the community to help by teaching or overseeing projects.
A group of nursing students will go to Los Toros in January to help set up a prenatal clinic to reduce the number of women and infants who die in childbirth.
A St. Vincent de Paul chapter was started a few years ago by St. Joe's chapter and now is reaching out to its poorest residents.
"We don't go to Los Toros to paint houses for a week. We approve loans for them to buy paint," Kabara said. "We may teach them how to paint, but they have to do the work or get someone to help them."
In turn, they agree to help others paint their houses and repay the loan to the Los Toros committee so it can be loaned to another person, Kabara said.
Kabara leads four trips a year to Los Toros — two for adults, one for college students and another for professionals.
In May, college students from St. Joe's met with college students from Los Toros and youths in neighboring Sajanoa to discuss projects they can do to help that community.
In January, engineers helped Los Toros develop plans to extend a pipeline from their village to a neighboring village.
On Oct. 21, Kabara and 14 adults will visit Los Toros for 10 days and see how those collaborative efforts are going and assist where they can.
They will also check the progress of other projects. St. Joe's holds the purse strings for most of these projects, but the Los Toros community chooses the projects and contributes financially.
About 100 Haitian refugees who fled after the 2009 earthquake have settled in the area and work in the fields. Their living conditions are very poor so St. Joe's is helping them, Kabara said.
The parishioners' checked luggage will be filled with school, medical and dental supplies and clothing and personal care items for Haitians.
They will return with luggage filled with items the people made to be sold here to raise money for the community.
Kabara's wife Judy and four of their seven children have been to Los Toros and support his efforts.
Kabara plans to stay for longer periods in Los Toros next year. Los Toros is beautiful in January, he said, and he will spend almost the entire month there.
"When we get to the top of the mountain and see Los Toros in the valley, it's so beautiful, I start crying," Kabara said.
"It's like coming home. I'm so fortunate to be able to do this. I can do it because my wife supports me, my children support me, and my parish supports me."
More information on Los Toros is on www.lostorosmission.com. The web site even has Spanish lessons taught by Los Toros residents.

Cai Yingting, a deputy chief of the general staff of the People's Liberation Army, made the remarks on Thursday in a meeting with US Deputy Secretary of Defense Ashton Carter at Pentagon.
Cai, who arrived in the US on Monday for a visit, said the two nations have made key and positive progress in developing bilateral relations since the Obama administration came to power in 2009, as reported.
The top leaders of the two countries have reached important consensus to establish a new type of big power relations, he said, adding that the two sides should be committed to the principle of equality, mutual benefit and win-win cooperation while developing inter-military ties.
Asserting that the US strategy in the Asia-Pacific region is not aimed at containing China, Carter voiced his country's hope that China continues to be its cooperation partner. He called on the two sides to work together to find a way to ensure their development and prosperity through cooperation.
Also on Thursday, Cai met Admiral James Winnefeld, vice chairman of the joint chiefs of staff, and General Lloyd Austin III, the US Army's vice chief of staff. During his talks with Winnefeld, Cai said the two countries should prevent their military relations from suffering major setbacks.
Winnefeld said that, as conflicts and frictions between big powers are inevitable, it is important for both sides to enhance dialogues, step up strategic mutual trust and avert misjudgement.
While meeting Austin, Cai proposed that the two countries should promote mutual trust and cooperation between their armed forces, and properly tackle the obstacles that are undermining healthy and stable development of inter-military ties.
Austin said it is important to establish a long-term and fruitful inter-military relationship between the US and China, which will benefit both sides.
Washington: China is willing to work with the US to properly handle their differences and promote stable and sound development of military-to-military ties, a senior Chinese army officer has said.

The smell emanating from an active methamphetamine lab led to the arrest of four people at a home in the Stanton area late Saturday night.
A Franklin County deputy was on patrol in the area around Highway JJ and Acid Mine Road, north of Interstate 44, about 11:43 p.m. when he smelled a chemical odor associated with a meth lab. He and other deputies began searching the area for the source of the odors.
They traced the smell to a home and when they went inside they found the suspects in the process of cooking meth, the sheriff's office reported.
The four suspects included two men, ages 65 and 50, and two women, ages 51 and 58, all from the Sullivan area. They were not identified because they have not been charged.
Warrants will be sought after chemicals and other components seized are analyzed at the Missouri State Highway Patrol lab.
Sullivan firefighters were called to the scene to assist in decontamination of the suspects, the sheriff's office said.
Members of the Franklin County Narcotics Enforcement Unit also responded to dismantle and remove the methamphetamine lab.

Search Engine Optimization: How It Can Help Your Business Grow
If you are already a webmaster, you will understand the advantages of having your website ranked well on SERPs. The search engine optimization (SEO) strategies listed in this article will help you move your website up in the ranks.
Before anything else, you should develop a strong understanding of the manner in which SEO works. Given the ideal situation, websites would be rated by actual
people who would take specific keywords and phrases into careful consideration. Instead, computers use a complicated formula to figure this out. Using SEO techniques, you can improve your website so that is more appealing to the search engine spiders.
You may be wondering how a search engine decides where to place your website on a results page. There are many factors that lead to this decision. Search engines look at your site headings and page content for search-related words and phrases. They then check how much activity and traffic your site generates. After that, they look at the links that go to and from your website.
Garnering rank priority with search engines is a matter of time and design. Crawlers search for specific information that appeals to them. To get the best results with search engines, your site information must use accurate keywords. You want to use these key terms to increase your niche impact and boost your search engine ranking. Learning the science behind search engines can improve your performance.
It may sound easy to pay to have your site show up at the top of a search engine page, though it is unrealistic for many. These sponsored sections are generally limited to just a few results, so the price to be listed there can get really out of hand. If you are a Fortune 500 company, you might be able to make good use of sponsored links as a marketing strategy, but it's cost prohibitive for everyone else.
Links are a wonderful way to gain leads to your site. Reciprocal linking with other websites is a wonderful enhancement of this, so seek an agreement with other sites as often as possible.
Targeted visitors should be interested in your product or you should be able to convince them that they need your product by mentioning a common issue among this demographic group. They are there to buy, not just to look around. They want to possibly make purchases on your website. There will always be visitors who randomly find your site, but they usually don't come to do business. However, it's possible that they could be impressed, and decide to be customers. If your website is compelling, they might remember it, and come back when they have a need for what you're selling. Customers who may come back later don't have a strong enough desire for your product and aren't the ones you are looking for. In order to be successful, you need targeted customers who are searching for exactly what you are offering. To help them locate you, it is necessary to be familiar with the exact keywords that you must use. Buy some ad space on websites your target customers visit.
If you have a business, a website is a must. If you obtain many of your sales via the internet then it is vital that you have a successful operating website.

It's hard to smile when you aren't comfortable, and if you're worried about your smile it's hard to be comfortable.
Folsom, CA (PRWEB) February 19, 2013
At Engel Family Dentistry, January means dental benefits renewing for many patients. Dr. Engel and his staff would like to remind patients to maximize their benefits this year. There are many ways patients can work with their dentists to improve their smile and learn proper dental health maintenance.
At the start of a New Year, many dental patients are reminded that procedures they put off last year need to be acknowledged in the next. "It's hard to smile when you aren't comfortable, and if you're worried about your smile it's hard to be comfortable," Dr. Engel says. Working closely with a dentist can help to identify problems and develop a preventative program. Prevention is the best way to avoid problems. With most insurance plans offering two cleanings per year, Dr. Engel encourages patients to take advantage and schedule both.
Engel Family Dentistry focuses on high quality, life long dental care to help patients maintain the best appearance and healthiest teeth. Acknowledging that life happens around the clock, not just during business hours, they also offer on call emergency care. They are currently serving Folsom, El Dorado Hills, Cameron Park, Shingle Springs, Roseville, Citrus Heights, Orangevale, and Carmichael.
About the company:
Dr. Engel graduated from The University of Texas Health Science Center, at Houston Dental Branch in 2003. Dr. Engel loves being a dentist and has been practicing dentistry in Arizona for the past 8 years. Dr. Engel enjoys giving back to the community when possible. When located in Arizona, he sat on the Advisory Board for Mesa Community College Dental Hygiene Advisory Board. In 2011, he moved to the Sacramento area, where in his spare time he enjoys spending time with his wife and six children. Since relocating to California, he has served as a volunteer Dentist for the California Mission of Mercy with the California Dental Association.

Gordon ousted at Penn Hills Penn Hills has decided it does not want Neil Gordon back as coach after 22 seasons. Gordon, who won 156 games and guided the Indians to the WPIAL title game only two seasons ago, said he was 'blindsided' by his removal.Perhaps he can do color commentary on the high school sports network like Bill Cowher's gig.
Is Mr. Gordon still the Athletic Director? Is that direction still on the map?
Update from the Trib article: Gordon retired as Penn Hills' athletic director following the 2006-07 school year and was working on a supplemental contract this past fall. Such contracts come up for review annually and are filled at the discretion of the school board, according to Teresita Kolenchak, public relations coordinator for the Penn Hills School District.
That does NOT wash with me. No vote. That's not a decision I can live with.
"A decision was made," Kolenchak said. "It wasn't a vote. No vote was taken."
Coaching in the region is important. And, the coaching relationships with schools here stink.
Because this is 'typical' does not make it 'right.' It is wrong.

Release Date: 2006 |
I read about half of this but then stopped from boredom. Not a horrible review, just too long.
It's only a matter of time before I pick this up. If it really is more like SSTB than Coheed's other stuff, I shall be very pleased.
Album Rating: 3.5 | Sound OffI understand where both of you are coming from. Granted, it probably wasn't the best idea to write this review while I had a headache. I'm gonna edit it right now; see if I can't trim off some of the fat.
EDIT: Ok, it's a tad shorter now, and I've tried to make it less repetitive, and more structured. Hopefully it's a tad better. This Message Edited On 11.05.06
i really really want to hear this album...
Album Rating: 3.5 | Sound OffYa, it's a fairly good album, but if you're expecting nothing but brilliance, you might be slightly dissapointed.
Oh, and as for the album sounding like SSTB, I don't see too much of a connection, except based on lower production value. If you're talking about vocal-wise, then I can see the connection. His vocal style is quite reminescant of SSTB in many areas. Otherwise, this album is basically its own beast.
Album Rating: 3.5 | Sound OffYa, while I can sorta see the connection to those two songs, not much else on this album is similar. If you're expecting Coheed Pt. 2, be prepared. This is a cross-breed of electronic music, folk rock, acoustic ballads, and alternative rock.
If you want to hear some of their more electronic songs, check out their Myspace. You can hear Who Watches The Watchmen? and The Margretville Dance, which might give you a better idea of what the other side of the CD sounds like.
Still, If you want to hear something totally different, then it's a great listen.
From the bits and pieces of stuff Ive heard from here, I dont know how you could only give Amputechture a 2.5
Album Rating: 4.0This album is pretty good.
Album Rating: 3.5 | Sound Off
yeah, this review is solid man. while there are songs on this cd that i love, that are so freakin' catchy they cant help but cheer me up even when im in a crap mood, some of them feel like "... when is this gonna pick up?" people should not walk into this album expecting another Welcome Home or Willing Well IV: The Final Cut, this is pretty damn expiremental. but it's still a worthy buy or download for anyone who loves coheed and cambria and wants to learn more about the story of Jesse and the events of the story of coheed and cambria.
Album Rating: 3.5 | Sound OffMy sentiments exactly...
Also, who filed this CD under Rock?
Album Rating: 4.0Yeah that's the best song on here.
Album Rating: 3.5 | Sound OffYes, it's certainly one of the best, although I still think 78 destroys everything else. Though Gunner Recall is certainly a very fun track.
Album Rating: 4.0Plus the title is kickass.
i wanna check this out.
"Run, Gunner Recall, Run! The Town Wants You Dead! is such an awesome song. This is a great album overall."
i hear that, there are such amazing songs on this cd. Claudio is the f**kin' BOMB. i cant wait to hear new coheed =D
Does this album have anything to do with Jesse at all? I was just wondering based on the bands name and the albums title.
I definately need to listen to this, however it dissapoints me that it's still so much different than Coheeds music, but that shouldn't stop me from enjoying the album any less. Good review, a little long though.
It would be stupid if this sounded like Coheed. It would be pointless for Claudio to have a side project and make the same music he does for Coheed. It's another part of his musicianship that he couldn't really get away with in Co & Ca.
Does this album have anything to do with Jesse at all? I was just wondering based on the bands name and the albums title.
Yes, actually. Here's how it goes: In Good Apollo Volume 1, Jesse is killed. Supposedly, she does not actually totally die, and instead ends up in the town of Margretville, where she chronicles the story of the Blood Machine, a device created by Long-Arm and Butchie Bleam (two new characters) to supposedly extract the souls from a human body by tearing it to shreds?!?!!?!?!?!?!?!
Dude what the heck are you talking about?!?! Jesse is not a she!Am I not correct in saying Jesse is Coheeds brother?!?!He IS the Prize Fighter Inferno,the fighter of the three creations.And since when is this post Good Apollo?Everything ive read says its a prequel to the Coheed and Cambria storyline. If im wrong please explain.
Yes, I was wondering the same thing as well. Jesse is definately Coheeds brother. After reading PTS's post, I decided to check it out myself. Apparently after Jesse dies in Good Apollo, he's reincarnated on present day Earth and has to tell the story of the Blood Machine before he can tell the Bag.On.Line Adventure (or Amory Wars). So yes, it is a prequel to the Coheed and Cambria story line.

Two activists attach their inflatable to mooring lines linking the Anna Akhmatova (a Gazprom passenger vessel) and the Prirazlomnaya oil platform. The Anna Akhmatova proceeded with boarding anyway, winching the Greenpeace boat into the air and throwing the activists into the freezing arctic waters. This is part of a series of actions held to prevent Gazprom from completing the work that will allow them to begin drilling in this fragile region. Gazprom looks set to begin full commercial drilling operations by early next year, becoming the first ever company to start commercial oil production in the offshore Arctic.08/28/201208/24/2012

To celebrate, I wanted to share with you a recent video I made on how to make homemade flour tortillas. Towards the end of the video, I also demonstrate how to use the tortillas to make vegetable quesadillas.
Prepared from a short list of common ingredients (flour, shortening, salt and water), you won't believe how easy tortillas are to make from scratch—and they're cheap, too! You don't need to use a tortilla press or any fancy equipment, just your hands, a rolling pin, and a cast iron skillet. If you want to reduce prep time even further, simply add all of the ingredients to a food processor and whirl away. After rolling the dough into flat discs, the best part is watching it squirm and bubble in the hot skillet as it dries out, instantly morphing, Hulk-style, into a bona fide tortilla.
There are so many uses for homemade flour tortillas. In addition to quesadillas, they are the base of many of our favorite handheld Mexican foods like burritos, tacos, fajitas, and enchiladas. Granted, flour tortillas are a little more Tex-Mex than Mexican. Corn tortillas are what you will commonly find in traditional dishes such as Mexico City street tacos, and are considered more authentic to Mexican cuisine. Corn tortillas are also a bit healthier, but it's Cinco de Mayo and we're celebrating.
If you come here often, you know that Mexican food is one of my favorites. Here are a few more recipes that are perfect for Cinco de Mayo:
Mexican Meatball Soup
Pico de Gallo & Guacamole
Margarita Sorbet
Tequila-Flamed Mangoes
