Good News for Obamacare: More Medical Students Are Becoming Family Doctors
Written by Sy Mukherjee
The number of U.S. medical school graduates choosing to go into family medicine and primary care rose for the fourth consecutive year, according to a press release from the American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP). That's great news for the millions of Americans who will become newly insured under Obamacare and Medicare in the coming years, since many industry experts feared there wouldn't be enough primary care physicians to meet their medical needs.
Family medicine, unlike more specialized medical fields, involves caring for patients in a comprehensive way that involves everything from diagnosing and treating a wide range of common illnesses to promoting preventative health measures that might prevent the need for more specialized care in the future. In 2009, only 58 percent of U.S. medical school graduates chose residencies in family medicine, but now more than 67 percent of first-year family medicine residents graduate from American medical schools.
"This is another indicator that medical students realize primary care is the foundation of health care," said Dr. Perry Pugno, vice president for medical education at the AAFP, in a statement. "The number of students choosing family medicine… continues to increase, and the attendance at the AAFP's National Conference for Family Medicine Residents and Medical Students has really increased. All of these point to a trend toward primary care careers."
Many health experts have feared that America is in the midst of a widespread doctor shortage that may prevent millions of people from receiving essential primary care, especially as millions of Americans become insured for these types of services under Obamacare in 2014. Estimates from the Association of American Medical Colleges pegs the shortage at 13,000 doctors today and projects it to be ten times that number by 2024. The new numbers are cause for optimism, but doctors warn that it still may not be adequate to meet future needs.
"Taken together, these show the ship may be turning," Pugno noted in his statement. "But it isn't turning fast enough to meet future needs, given the demand that will grow as a result of the Affordable Care Act's expansion of insurance coverage and the aging of our population."
Even so, the surge in family doctors is also good news for Medicare. The Wall Street Journal had found that the number of doctors refusing to serve Medicare patients had increased almost three-fold between 2009 and 2012 due to uncertainty over reimbursement rates. But a survey commissioned by USA Today found that the number of U.S. physicians accepting new Medicare patients had risen by about 33 percent between 2007 and 2011, largely thanks to the influx of new primary care doctors highlighted by the AAFP. These doctors are more willing to accept Medicare patients than older physicians who are dropping out of the health care system.
New medical graduates' interest in primary care and their willingness to take on Medicare patients may signal that young doctors understand the types of resources that will be needed under health reform. Recent evidence has shown that medical schools have also been changing the way they teach their students in response to Obamacare, emphasizing the sort of team-based comprehensive care that the law encourages and slowly shifting away from a model that encourages new doctors to choose specialty medical professions that may pay more than family medicine.

I am sure excited that I found another cosmetic brand that offers gluten-free products with women of color in mind! Let me introduce you to Law of Nature Cosmetics. I always visit the "about" section on every website that I visit to get their backstory. Just a few sentences in I must admit that I was pleasantly amazed at their mission. I know that some beauty lovers only want to look great, but I personally believe that one should be able to look great without causing harm to themselves due to toxic ingredients in their beauty products.
After reading the story of Jasmine Rose, the founder I quickly added Law of Cosmetics to my must buy list. Sadly, like to many women I too have had a loved one with Breast Cancer and I applaud Ms. Rose for reaching safe natural ways for women to showcase their beauty without having to subject themselves to harsh chemicals.
The cosmetic line offers several products that are not only gluten free, but vegan, talc free, paraben free, bismuth free, and while you may not think "Who cares…..why does that matter?" I invite to research some of your favorite brands (several of which are targeted to women of color) and health issues related to chemicals used in those products and you will know why it truly matters. Like I said I have already added several of Law of Cosmetics items to my must buy list. Want to see what I picked? Visit me on our sister site Loving Hue & Your Style… Right now.

Sunday 7/21/13 Pastor Michael sermon Seeing Is Believing=A Preview of Coming Attractions! Revelations 5:1-5
Seeing is believing means some things are so impossible unless you can see them. This is the reason why we have pre-views of movies to come. They want to show us pre-views of coming attractions, of the movies thought to be impossible to capture on the screen.
This is the state of our text today. John is being given a pre-view of what the world will look like in the end times and how things will happen in Heaven and in earth. John is on the island and no one is there but him and God. God took him up in the spirit to show him reel by reel of what is to happen in the end time. John was shown things that he could not understand, but he believed. It is like our faith in God. We can�t see Him and sometimes we don�t understand things that happen but we know God is with us. He is lifting us up and we believe in God�s Power.
John was given a pre-view of what is going to happen so he can little by little believe it. He sees Christ exalted in Heaven. He sees the main character in Heaven, Christ, exalted in Heaven. This is before the seals on the Book are broken. God shows him Christ first because it was about to get really crazy and chaotic. But Christ is still on the throne. When things go crazy in our life, Jesus is still in control and He is still on the throne. Christ has Power! He will empower us to get over the crazy stuff because if it doesn�t kill us, it will empower us and make us stronger! I know that nothing touches us unless He allows it. So He knows I can handle it and can take it! We can have the victory over all things! Christ is on the throne! Praise the Lord!
Vs. 2 The Book is like a Will being opened to determine the fate of people, of mankind and the earth. It�s like at a Will reading. People are there to get a blessing. Jesus is at the Will reading, the Book opening. Christ is the executor of the Will, to unseal the Book. Vs.3 No one could open the Book. The strong angel asked who could open the Book. Angel Gabriel will proclaim that no one can open the Book, the Will. This Will, this Book says who will be getting into Heaven and who will not! Jesus Christ is the only one worthy to be the executor, the one to open up the Will, the Book! He is the only one worthy to break the seals on the Book that determine the will of God toward the fate of mankind, the earth.
Vs. 5 The elder told John to stop crying because the Will can be opened by Jesus Christ. The more stuff we go thru, the more we will have because God in Heaven knows our fate. He knows the blessing and the reward that is in store for us. God knows what He has for us! Jesus knows! Jesus is the authorized one and He has been made official (officialized). Jesus has the legal right to execute, open the Will, the Book of our destiny! The elder told John to stop crying because Christ Jesus was able to open the seals. The Lion from the tribe of Judah, the root of David has overcome! He that is sitting on the throne has overcome and is authorized to open up the seals on the Book, the Will.
Jesus Christ is the executor of the Will, the legal executor of the Book! He was crucified on the cross and got up! He was resurrected from the dead with ALL POWER!! Jesus has got the authority to open the Book. He overcame and we can overcome too because God has given us the same power! God gave us a pre-view of coming attractions so when we go thru mess, we can see that we are going to Heaven! Our destiny can only be determined by Jesus Christ!! Thank you Jesus!!!!

Just Approved:
Published 6:28 pm, Friday, October 25, 2013
Mortgage adviser: Mari Parsnick
Loan amount: $390,000
Rate: 4.625 percent
Loan type: Conventional 30-year fixed, no points
Backstory: Parsnick's client purchased an Alameda townhouse with the assistance of Realtor Angela McIntyre of Gallagher & Lindsey in 2009. Unfortunately, the loan required mortgage insurance at the time of purchase.
Parsnick was contacted by the client in the fall of 2012, as he wanted to take advantage of the all-time low interest rates and remove the expensive monthly mortgage insurance.
However, values of comparable homes had not increased to the level that would allow the client to obtain a new loan without mortgage insurance.
The borrower was also concerned about a short sale he had on another property just two years earlier. Other lenders had told him there was a long waiting period for refinancing after a short sale.
From her knowledge of mortgage agency requirements concerning refinance eligibility after a short sale, Parsnick knew the client's circumstances made him eligible to refinance at competitive rates. He simply needed to have a 20 percent equity position in his home.
As the real estate market's recovery steadily continued, Parsnick consulted with McIntyre about values in the property's location. Not only did McIntyre provide helpful insights, but she monitored the property values in her former client's neighborhood and notified Parsnick once values had increased to the levels necessary for the refinance.
The collaboration of mortgage adviser and Realtor resulted in the client obtaining a lower interest rate and savings of $350 per month.

Part-Time Jobs in Healthcare
The responsibility and time that academics can take up when you are a full-time college student can be overwhelming between attending lectures and office hours, keeping up with your readings, and getting ahead on studying before finals or midterms.
As a college student, you are going to have more responsibilities piled on your plate as you will most likely need a steady source of income in the form of a part-time job while also working on your future career path through extracurricular clubs and internships. The number of responsibilities may be overwhelming, but you can minimize the number of commitments by combining two or more activities, like securing a part-time job in the field you want to pursue a career in. Some part-time jobs in the healthcare field will require training prior to starting in the position, so be prepared to put in some time, like planning to start in summer break when you will most likely not be enrolled in college full-time.
This choice allows you to have a steady source of income in college while also helping yourself make progress in your desired career path. If you are interested in pursuing a career in healthcare, here are some part-time jobs in healthcare you could consider looking and applying for.
The name provides the simple version of the job description. As a home health aide, you will be working with people who have physical disabilities, illnesses, and/or cognitive issues. You will be assisting them in carrying out daily activities and your duties will vary depending on the patient you are assisting. You can expect to be assigned to bathe your patient, help with dressing, make sure physical therapy is carried out, keep up with medication distribution, help the patient with commuting to where they need to be, and so on.
This job description may sound like that of a personal care aide; however, you will be allowed to provide basic medical service for your patient, which is something that a personal care aide is not allowed to do.
Your job location as a home health aide will depend on where you are assigned, which can be a client's personal home or a group home, as you will be working for certified home health agencies that will oversee your job.
The requirements for becoming a home health aide change according to what state you are in, but most states have aides that already have gotten their high school diploma. You will not be working alone, however, as most home health aides do work under medical professionals, like registered nurses or therapists.
2) Nursing orderly
As a nursing orderly, you will be working in a hospital or in more long-term facilities, like nursing homes. You will be expected to help transport patients (pushing wheelchairs) and clean treatment areas (equipment, changing linens, restocking supplies, etc).
Like home health aides, orderlies usually have their high school diploma, and will require on-the-job training and Basic Life Support (BLS) certification.
It may not seem like the most appealing part-time job, but if you are seriously considering a career in healthcare you need to be starting somewhere, and that somewhere may not always be your first and most appealing choice.
3) Receptionist at a medical (dentist, optometrist, etc.) office
As a receptionist, you will not be doing any medical service, but your options are already extremely limited if you only have your high school degree and are still in school for your undergraduate degree. Being a receptionist will allow you to still submerge yourself into a healthcare environment and allow you to work with medical professionals that can offer you both guidance in your intended career path and references for your later academic and professional applications.
You will gain experience with patient care as you interact with your office's patients, learning about their needs and how they are attended to. You can also get a clearer picture of what specific job you want to pursue in the healthcare field; if you end up in a dentist's office and do not like the environment, you are still early enough in your career that a change would have little to no impact in the long run.
As you are not going to be carrying out any medical service, you can still apply for this position as a part-time job with only a high school degree as your main concern in the position will be providing customer service and carrying out administrative tasks.
4) Medical scribe
According to CEP America's website, "scribes document patients' medical histories and physical exams as they work with CEP America healthcare providers in the emergency department. They also work closely with our hospitalists in the intensive care, telemetry, medical/surgical, and other units to help with documentation of admissions, rounding, and discharge."
Because scribes are usually undergraduate or post-baccalaureate students, the schedule is flexible and open to changing with your school schedule. You will be expected to work 2-3 shifts per week and will typically work less than 20 hours a week, which allows you to not have your job overwhelm you with hours that you could use for studying or focusing on your wellbeing.

I read this yesterday but was just too tired to reply. Btw you changed the topic didn't you?
Anyway, as a former philosophy student i think you are just overanalyzing the work. (i'm assuming you're talking about your perspective, if not then my bad but this will still be my view on the manga.)
These days there are many "ilnesses or disorders" that didn't exist 10 years ago for example. Yotsuba doesn't have any of those things and i'll tell you my perspective on the work.
I think it's about the greatness of youth and the amazing things we come up with when we are kids. I wasn't like Yotsuba, but i was always imagining situations, going on "adventures" in the woods, exploring things, and obviously i was amazed wihen i discovered something new, either that or scared i think lol.
She is a kid, what do you expect? It's better than sitting in the house watching TV. Because she is sometimes bored she wants some attention. I think it's fairly common. I don't believe it has anything to do with mental illness.
What it shows you is how you behave towards a child, notice that everybody is quite patient and accepts her how she is, they don't over impose their will towards Yotsuba but calmly explain her the stuff she wonders about. She isn't a spoilt brat or anything.
I'm trying to remember one method of teaching, but i can't remember the name, where parents let their kids do things how they want and then explain the situations to the kids. If anything this work duelves on that and on the fact that Yotsuba has a different type of education that made her who she is right now, that's also a big part of why i love this manga.
Anyway this is it for now, i look foward to your opinion on this take.

Yeah, I do think Yotsuba can be a BIT TOO curious. But, I do agree as you said that children have to be addressed in a certain way. With responsible parenting dying, parents need some reminders on how to act towards them.
Kids are usually hyper anyway, but society sometimes mislabels hyperactive kids as kids who have ADD/ADHD, which is ridiculous.
I think that method of teaching works and is pretty practical. Why can't schools implement that style more often?
Thank you for the comment.

This is something I've been noticing for a while now (signs that I'm getting old
). Todays youth, at least in the country/place I live in, are generally way smarter and more 'mature' than the people of my generation in our youths... And I'm only talking about ±20 years ago.
I've heard from people working in daycare centers that education today is more focused on performance and everything and every exercise the children do must have a point.
These days I can have a proper conversation with a child of about 10 years old, and sometimes even feel inferior to their knowledge of what's happening in the world around us... Honestly, I pity them.
Now I'm not saying this is bad or better, it's just society today, these children will probably fit much better into the modern more technology orientated society and are often very quick in understanding how something works... though I do fear for the creative arts.
I do think it's better to let a child find his/her own way, than to 'force' one on them. Yotsuba is allowed to find her own way, sure there must be guidance, but it's how the guidance is given that's important.... And that, is of course the ultimate issue. Everyone is different and trying to make a system that works for all is destined to fail all.
In my youth we were still 'allowed' to have fun and do stupid/silly/pointless things. We spent little time indoors and could be found playing on the street/or in forest all day long. It's another way of learning and living. (though I admit, if children acted like we did in today's society they would probably all be heavily medicated
The way I see yotsubato is most likely different from many of the other (I'm assuming younger) readers. I don't see a hyperactive child that has an overactive imagination. I simply see a child having fun and doing the things children that age should be doing.... Like I did, like most did before things like the internet changed society.
And maybe that's why Yotsubato is such a delight to read, besides it being fun it also takes me back to my own youth and makes me envy those days when I could still be simple, naive and have fun without much constraint.
Strange that in an age of information and knowledge, people tend to forget the most simple of things... Why do they think it's necessary to medicate children, did they forget their own youths and do they really think it's helping the children? Live should not be about performance, what's the point if you can't have fun (or no longer know how to) on the way.
Maybe stop putting handheld consoles in their hands an simply telling to go out and have some fun would help... Children seem hyperactive because the energy has no place to go and just builds up.
Sure we had gameboys and such, but they were expensive and only the kids with well-off parents had those... Besides, playing outside was more interesting. Nowadays pretty much everyone has a PSP and some fancy very expensive cellular phone.
Yeah so, It might be a little obvious I don't really like some aspects of todays society...
Who they, what are, and why?

Ah i completely agree with you Joentjuh even though i'm only in my 20's. I remember riding my bike everywhere, getting hurt, not having many games and all that, those were the days...
Today's disorders are nothing but an excuse. Parents just don't know how to properly educate their kids, leaving them on the computer all day, not getting exercise, not teaching them manners nor basic rules, honestly i think it's a disgrace.
On a side note i just remembered the method of teaching i was mentioning, i learnt it while i was in college, this page may not be much, but it's still something.

Two things why I don't think Yotsuba has ADHD.
1.)I remember doing things Yotsuba does when I was a child. I am 18, by the way, and still overly enthusiastic about things. 2.) Also I have a 3 year old little sister and she is super active, curious and sometimes inattentive to the point where we thought she has ADHD or any similar illness but she doesn't. She's a master at gibberish (talking and singing, you'll be amazed at how she can sing the alphabet song in gibberish) I guess the same goes for Yotsuba. At least she can sing Ra ra ramen! Its really really long and really really gooooood!. I guess that's why they're kids.
I really think it's good to combine manga and psychology to an extent where It can educate certain people like the Japanese about ADHD. If that is Kiyohiko Azuma-san's aim by making Yotsuba&!, the I give kudos to him.
Being with kids all through my life, i can safely tell you that some kids are just too cute

I've never thought of Yotsuba as being "hyperactive" at all, just a normal kid who lives in a place where it's safe enough that she can have a lot of freedom. A lot of the stuff she does reminds me of when I was a kid, when my older kids were her age, or what my youngest does now (he's 3.5).
Let kids be kids, without labeling them with some disorder/illness when they're not quiet or compliant enough for the convenience of the adults! Yeah, ADD and ADHD are real, but I don't think they're as common as the media would have it - as someone else said, kids have energy, and if they don't have an outlet for it, they won't be able to sit quietly.

Thank you guys! I do think the media tends to criticize a lot of kids for being hyper. It's just crazy and not needed.

PlayStation Vita Review
I agree good review; I have one and am really enjoying it. Uncharted is good fun (if a little easy) and Marvel vs. Capcom is a great time killer. The device is solid and appears to hold a charge fairly well-ish...
looking forward to the FEB wider release and getting some more games; Amazon appears to be pricing fairly aggressively as well. Reply +7
Vita out in Europe and US early next year
oh dear this is a shame, though not unexpected.
i guess i will have to pay over the odds on ebay for an import come christmas; anyone know any good import website still running? Reply +1
Wipeout 2048 on Vita gameplay
Have to admit it does not look that impressive; perhaps we have been spoiled; but does not look that much better than the PSP version. Still hot for Vita though! Reply +2
Star Fox 64 3D gameplay flies in
very much looking forward to this one; much more than the Zelda re-hash Reply -3
iOS 5 brings gameplay to TVs
If Apple were to explore this route perhaps it would look to sell any games via its Mac App Store where it currently sells Full priced games. I think there is a danger that the Iphone/Ipad stores have somewhat been associated with Free or low cost; a premium section for fully spec games may be an option however? Reply 0
Hmmm very interesting...if implimented well the OnLive function could really shake the console world up Reply +1
Nintendo Wii U Tech Demo
I agree it is a step in the right direction; my concern is whilst their maybe 3-4yrs left in the XBox360 and PS3 life span it will probably not be that long until the next console is released/demo'd.
Next years E3 (by which time the WiiU may still be unreleased) we will probably see some tech demos from the next gen consoles and 'should' Nintendo fall short we may see them failing to reach their somewhat wide aim i.e 'everyone'; hardcore gamers may wait for or plan third party title purchases for the potentially more powerful consoles.
The worse case for Nintendo is that third party developer make min effort to use any current graphic advantage over the Xbox360/PS3, coding for the lowest and widest placed level then miss out again as the new gen raise the bar above what the Wii U can provide. Reply +2
hmmmmm remember this represents tech which is at least a year away from release its not AMAZING....still time will tell Reply +2
Wii U Mario Bros. Mii tech demo screens
its a shame they have not updated the graphics of the Mii...might have been nice to have hi-Res Miis; the Xbox360 avatars still look better. Reply +4

Sony: NGP battery life "good, solid"
Do we know what type of OLED this is? if its the standard OLED good luck using outside; i had a Nexus One and it was a nightmare; hopefully its a Super AOLED screen; i think this is Samsung tech?! Reply +1
Sony: NGP price will be "affordable"
I fear the lowest we can hope for in the UK is Ł299, reality it may hit Ł399.
I wonder if it will mirror Apple's iPhone Model...you can buy it sim free but will be expensive (Ł500+) or you can sign up to 24month contract and get it for Ł199.
Not sure I would be comfortable with another contract on my hands but at least the product cycle is likely to be longer than 24months so no worries about trying to get out of the agreement when the next one comes out.
On a side not I do think releasing details almost 12months before the release (even more for Europe most probably) is a little foolhardy; I understand the need to steal the 3DS thunder but honestly there are 8months between launches momentum maybe lost and certainly come Dec/ early' 12 these impressive specs will not be as impressive. At time of eventual EUR release the iPad 3 and iPhone 6 will both be making rumblings and the 3DS may well be below Ł200 officially and have a healthy game selection (past its somewhat dull launch window titles). A summer release would have made much more of an impact and given the system time to build for the 'holidays'.
Still roll on the EUR release as I want one ;) Reply +2
iPhone Gears of War possible "in 2 years"
maybe all possible but Apple putting an HDMI port on the iPhone so we can connect easily to a TV is the most unlikely part of the prediction. Though maybe the new Airplay function will be the answer!? Reply 0

I am really disappointed with Sony and the PSP store. I bought the PSPgo and really like the hardware (perhaps one of the only ones who does but it suits my needs) i do not overly mind paying slightly more for the games (MAD i know) but honestly the range is poor and the rate at which these are being added is worrying.
Come Sony lets start filling up the PS Store with content! Reply +1

GDC: Why OnLive Can't Possibly Work
@StooMonster I agree that very few upgrades are perfectly executed but I think to the average Joe in the street this model (of upgrades mainly being performed behind the scenes by Online or whomever) is vastly more appealing than doing it themselves. Reply 0
@StooMonster - yeah i have both Vista and XP on bootcamp (cant get totally away hehe)...its more Apple really is no gaming machine :( well at least my Imac and old-ish Macbookpro aren't.
I think your upgrade point is correct it will not remove such requirements but it might make the experience more user friendly. When I upgraded from Sky+ to Sky HD aside from coughing up too much money I didn't have to sorry about conflicts; firmware updates or increasing my power management? I understand that this removes perhaps the thrill of the Windows Gamer but for a guy brought up on consoles the thought is prohibitive. Reply 0
I think this could potentially be exactly what I am looking for should it work as advertised. I have all three consoles and Mac. There are a number of PC games that interest me but I don't have the time; money or know-how to have a PC capable to playing them; plus I have a miss trust of PCs (bad history…hence the Mac)
I love the idea of merely plugging the mini console to my 50" Plasma and enjoying the occasional bout of Crysis or a good RTS or even taking around my parents place when they insist I visit them. My internet connection ranges from 11-14mb so would like to think this should at least tick that box.
Whilst the presence of large publishers is no sure sign of success, surely these companies would have insisted on a real-time demo before they gave the ok? Granted the potential new revenue streams might have blinded their judgment
I find myself sitting on the fence hoping that it works and does not take an age to reach the UK and sure that both Sony and Microsoft are watching carefully; both companies make loss on their hardware (at least during the initial launch years) perhaps a future version (maybe not the next generation) will be of this nature maybe PS4.5 will be merely a piece of software loaded into a SONY Blu-ray player or even OECD Bravia TV.

Wii Fit exercises chart dominance
It will be interesting to see where GTA IV is after a month after the first surge it will no doubt fall. Whilst the game will be amazingly successful ; i think that Wii Fit will not be that far behind and more likely to grow in sales over the same time period.
I managed to bag a Wii Fit on Friday and had so much interest from people at work and family who have NO clue what GTV IV is; this impact with the causal game will be key to its continueed success. Reply 0

About the Game:
During the Middle Ages a terrifying, mysterious disease raged across Italy. It killed thousands of people, whole towns and villages perished together. There were legends of a mythical town of Apothecarium, where the secret to defeating the disease was hidden.
The story takes place in Italy in the époque of the Renaissance. Disastrous outbreak of plague and leprosy is raving, taking thousands of lives. We play-act for Adriano, - brave and daring as hereditary aristocrat Adriano family member of the Duke of Medici, who sent for the pursuit of his daughter, Claudia. Our hunt leads us to the strangest of places – little town called Apothecarium. Just recently Italy's brightest minds were fighting over the search of the vaccine against plague. These scientific pioneering and research so as to win the fight with the dreadful disease is the purpose this "amazing city" was built for.
On arrival we discover that Apothecarium has become abandoned and Claudia's cortege destroyed and the Duchess herself kidnapped. The further deep into the mysterious city we are making our way the more we find it overflowing with the odd inventions imbued with the fleur of the Renaissance and the more horrific details we discover. Unveiling the mystery we learn that the city's inhabitants have fallen the victims of the outrageous and demented Alchemist who in his pursuit for the elixir of youth has taken the path of the evil and wrecking havoc. This virulent and frenetic scientist is taking lives of the innocent so as to gain the immortality. We are to come across the sinister mysteries of Apothecarium, overpass a great deal of considerable tests and face multitude of hardships so as to free the Duchess of Medici from the clutches of the insane and cold-blooded lunatic and save the survived.
Key Features:
Over 40 Location, 20 Hidden Object and 16 Puzzle scenes
Interactive Map (quest and navigation)
Over 8 hours of gameplay
Integrated Match3 Game
Global Hint System
Additional Game content (Music, Wallpapers, Screensavers etc.)
Special Chamber Orchestra Live Records, original soundtrack included
Built-in Strategy Guide
8 hours of gameplay is rather short for a gamer. Granted, it is a fun game and has replay value to it, but 8 hours for anyone who gets into it goes by like a breeze. This strategy game has hidden elements to it, much like most games does, but once youve discovered them all, there is not much left do with it. It leaves the player wanting more to do and it does not fill that void in the end. It is a good game overall. If you like strategy games, it is up your ally. Pick It Up.

Kitchen is a high traffic zone where all of us meet at least twice daily if not more frequently. To have an aesthetic looking kitchen can start our days in a better mood. Imagine how dreary and dull kitchen can dampen our spirits first thing in the morning and make our day not interesting! It is most important to have a delightful looking kitchen with sleek and elegant looks.
Small houses and studio apartments need to pay more attention when they furnish their kitchens. If they happen to have not an efficiently designed kitchen where the homemaker can spend time without feeling fatigued, they need to get a minimum makeover. They need to incorporate changes that will make the kitchen better planned, with more practical storage for added comfort.
Having a floor to ceiling size storage units can be a boon for home makers. Instead of having all the shelves of uniform height, they need to vary the heights of shelves to compactly fit the items without wasting vertical space. You can leave the top shelves at the top near the ceiling level with more height to store extra boxes and containers that are bigger in size. This is ideal for beautiful house designs.
You can make the wall shelves wider – wall to wall and not make the shelves too deep – not only do they take more space, having more than two deep rows can make it difficult to reach the items that are kept at the back. But under the kitchen counter, you can have deep drawers – to utilize the space fully beneath the counters where you can store large containers and pots/pans.
Today drainage boards and drying racks are coming that can be drawn across the sink and folded back when not in use. Likewise cutting boards can be drawn across the sink and folded inside when not in use. Shallow sliding panels with small ledges can be of use to house spice bottles and small tins that can be fitted to the kitchen cupboard doors or even on the hob splash backs – within easy reach when cooking.
Get some hooks fitted underneath the shelves for hanging up mugs and cups. Bar shelves for holding your stemware can also be accommodated under the shelves. Here are images of compact kitchens with sleek looking kitchen counters and sophisticated kitchen islands from Scavolini. Check at the optimal use of space and chic overall ambiance!

Clichés Ring True in Flyers Win
Sports and clichés go hand in hand, they always have and they always will. For the Philadelphia Flyers, the most commonly used cliché seems to be something along the lines of, 'when a team can roll three scoring lines, they are difficult to matchup against.' Sunday afternoon, the illustration of the cliché was as clear as it has been all season. The Flyers third line of Nikolay Zherdev, Claude Giroux and Jeff Carter made the difference in the team's 4-1 victory over the Chicago Blackhawks at the United Center.
The last time the Flyers touched the ice in Chicago, they skated off facing a three games to two deficit in the Stanley Cup Finals. This time, the game carried much less meaning but the Flyers played with some of the urgency that they harnessed in that final series. They also played with a new face in goal, Sergei Bobrovsky.
After a deflating regulation loss at home on Saturday to New Jersey, the team needed to bounce back in a big way on Sunday. It didn't seem like that would happen in the early going, but Bobrovsky was spectacular in net. Chicago couldn't get a shot by the young Russian, and in the meantime, the Flyers found their legs.
Chicago outshot the Flyers 11-9 in the first period, but the second period was a completely different story. After Carter found the back of the net in a scrum in front of Chicago's net, the shots began to fly. Philadelphia shot 19 shots to Chicago's nine, but the Blackhawks' rookie goalie rose to the challenge. Corey Crawford was simply brilliant through two periods, stopping 27 of 28 shots on net. With Bobrovsky matching him save for save, the third promised to be a tooth-and-nail affair.
But, the Flyers third line had different plans.
Just over two minutes into the third period, Zherdev went behind Chicago's net and scored on a beautiful wraparound shot. Crawford had no chance on the goal, and defenseman Brian Campbell was just a second late in his attempt to cover the open net. Less than three minutes later, Giroux found Carter with a saucer pass that he batted out of mid-air and past Crawford.
With a 3-0 lead, the Flyers looked to be headed for smooth sailing toward two crucial points on the road. However, Chicago turned up their play a notch and caused a puck-in-hand penalty during a scrum in front of Bobrovsky. Marian Hossa scored the Blackhawks' first goal on the penalty shot, which was the first successful home attempt for the franchise since 1987. It looked like the momentum had shifted in the reigning champions' favor.
Philadelphia made sure the shift was fleeting. The team stayed disciplined defensively and Bobrovsky did the rest. Scott Hartnell put the exclamation mark on the win for the Flyers with his empty-net goal in the game's last minute. When everything was said and done, Bobrovsky had stopped 30 of 31 shots and Giroux added four points to his season total. The first time all star and Carter were both +4 in the game, and Zherdev was +3.
The cliché that best summed up Sunday's game may have been that it was a strong 'bounce back game' for the Flyers. Whether in reference to their ability to win after losing the previous game, or the difficulties of opposing teams to matchup with their forwards, the Flyers proved that clichés are often born in truth on Sunday. There's no time to rest for the team, however. The Montreal Canadiens travel to Philadelphia on Tuesday, and it will be a tough challenge for the Flyers.
In order to stay atop the NHL standings, they'll have to continue to take it 'one game at a time'

If the Flyers' third line is Giroux, Carter and Zherdev, who is on their top two lines? Because if they're better than that line the Flyers should easily coast into at least the second round with no problems.

Review by Rob
April 20, 2017
Box is very sturdy and made to look like a card catalog drawer. Cards are perfect and bring back memories of how libraries tracked their collection before the use of computers. Each index card features a classic book, and is a reproduction of an actual library catalog card. Your note can be written on the reverse side. The envelopes match the retro feeling. I may need to order another box to keep permanently. I'm not sure I want to give these away! The cards will be nice to send to book lovers.
Review by JSRS

Very disappointed in this product. From the look of the picture, the box is made of balsam wood with a metal drawer pull just like the real library card catalog drawers. When I received my order (2 boxes), all it is is a cardboard box with a flat front. Yes, its printed, I guess I missed that part of the description. It's all printed. At this time, I plan on returning them.

- Water savings from LEED-certified commercial buildings is expected to grow to 7% of all non-residential water use by 2020.
- It has been estimated that about 4% of our electrical power is used for moving and treating water and wastewater nationwide.
- 5% of U.S. carbon emissions result from moving, treating and heating water.
- Thermoelectric (fossil fuel, biomass, nuclear) generating plants use about 25 gallons of fresh water for every kilowatt of electricity produced.
- 30,000 gallons of water are required to manufacture an automobile.
Land Use, Site and Landscape Design
- Development shifts land usage away from natural, biologically-diverse habitats to built areas that are impervious and lack biodiversity.

The Built Environment
- People in the U.S. spend about 90% of their time indoors.
- Businesses with employees working in LEED-certified buildings are expected to realize $2 billion in annual productivity gains by 2020. "People friendly" green design reduces absenteeism and improves work quality.

- Green buildings have 27% higher occupant satisfaction
- EPA studies indicate indoor levels of pollutants may be up to ten times higher than outdoor levels.
Materials and Resources
- A typical building construction project produces 2.5 pounds of solid waste per square foot of completed floor space.
- Buildings account for 40% of raw materials use in The U.S.
- Buildings account for 30% of all waste output in the U.S.
