Acolytes of the Possible
In a recent email to the COB, Curt DeBerg brought our attention to an article in Forbes on the topic of teaching entrepreneurship. Its author was concerned that perhaps instructors were inclined to gloss over the harsh realities of entrepreneurship. Curt listed several benefits related to the courses that are relevant to all who teach business. One point in particular caught my eye:
To teach e-ship is to teach about the overall operations of a business, from the ground up. It also means teaching the notion of risk and return, and that 3 out of 5 new businesses fail. Also, teaching e-ship means that some students who want to become entrepreneurs are better served by FIRST working for someone else.
When I was young, I sometimes worked for my father. He was quite a mystery. People proclaimed his genius, and yet he could neither cope with, nor control, the myriad details of running his own business. He worked obsessively until the day he died. Many wondered how such an intelligent person could fail to launch, but even as a kid, I knew. He'd chosen an entrepreneurial path because of his difficulties working a "regular job."
He considered his bosses unfit, and so he went off on his own with only his innate skills as a guide. He failed to realize that enterprise requires deep understanding of context. Ideas are one thing; execution another. Add perennial frustration and arrogance and it's a recipe for failure.
Without good role models and advice, we sink or survive depending on our ability to self-monitor and control. What I derived from my childhood learning was expressed in an extended discussion of "teaching" vs. "promoting" entrepreneurship in the aforementioned Forbes article. A contributor stated:
"Solving critical problems and creating beautiful things must be encouraged." (Emphasis mine.) Sounds like a goal to which anyone may aspire.
Others weighed in. We could do far worse than promote such ideas to students in the framework of any business model. Whether or not students eventually make their livelihood from their own businesses, they can take business knowledge and mental agility anywhere. Lessons from entrepreneur-educators provide a framework to students (and like-minded colleagues) about how one goes about accomplishing interesting, even great things. Here is a "master teacher's" take on the benefits of a fast track to learning entrepreneurship.
Curt suggested forming a Brown Bag Lunch Series on teaching entrepreneurship. Contact him if you too are an acolyte of the possible and would like to engage in discussion
"I Can't Believe I Just Said That"
Zach Justus writes in Tuesday's Tip from CELT:
Last week I shared with you some of what I have learned from when things go sideways in the classroom, when mistakes are made and you have the opportunity to be a role model in working through a problem. Today we deal with the 2nd part, a more sensitive issue, what happens when someone, even you, says something terrible. Maybe a student referred to another student by a sexist name under his/her breath. Maybe a slip of the tongue resulted in you saying something racist. Maybe you realized what you thought was good natured candor, turned out to a pattern of homophobic harassment directed at another student. Maybe you realize a student does not speak up because they are being bullied away from the classroom.
Since I started teaching, I've learned through surprising experience that bullying doesn't end in high school classrooms. I must have known, but to see it unfold is something else.
In another situation, a very likeable student made a strong, contributory observation, but used a word in a potentially offensive context that I knew could hurt at least one other student. I took a direct approach: "Well, your politically incorrect language notwithstanding," I said, "it's clear that your work this semester led to a positive result…"
The class, and the student in question, actually chuckled. No one appeared to be hurt or offended. But I'm inspired now to do some investigation, including the time-honored method of asking colleagues to see how they have handled such incidents. I'd like a few responses in my back pocket should situations arise in the future. We may be an increasingly diverse community, but we are not always as tolerant as our ideals would have us be.
Free Speech at the University
As we consider the challenges of setting our students' speech free while managing civil discussion, we are reminded of our own free speech as faculty. There have been recent incidents, a couple from University of Illinois and Northwestern University that have fueled discussion across the nation. You can review what's new and read about how some universities are addressing the matter by clicking here.

Eme only this year decided to add the traditional Irish brew on the heels of his "Winter Warmer," an even darker, stronger drink both in taste and in alcohol content. Eme explained traditional Irish ale is red or black in color, slightly sweet, very "malty," with less carbonation than most American beers.
"Each malt has a different kind of flavor," said Eme.
For those interested in alcohol content, the Blarney Ale sits at a modest 7 percent, compared to the Warmer's 10.9 percent.
The brewing process does not change from one beer to the next. Roasted malt is mixed with warm water to extract the flavor and sugars from the grain. The resulting wort is boiled followed by the addition of hops and a fermentation process which turns sugar to alcohol and natural carbonation with yeast.
Beer is brewed in 600-gallon batches once each week. The Blarney Ale was brought to life six weeks ago.

Ideas for a summer cruise in Greenland
Plus: a family-friendly hotel in the Caribbean; recommended villas in Portugal; cruise firm's U-turn on mobility scooter
Q Last year we had a wonderful cruise from Longyearbyen around the west and north of the Svalbard archipelago then across to Greenland and down its eastern coast.
I would like to go back to Spitsbergen and visit some of the old settlements such as Pyramiden or Barentsburg, and then go to Nuuk and cruise along Greenland's western coast. Is this possible in one trip? We would want to go in the summer, but outside the school holidays.
Liz Cooper, via email
A There are no cruises that combine Greenland's west coast and Svalbard; to do so would require a journey of several days around Cape Farewell. But the trip can be done in two stages.
For the Spitsbergen leg, you could book a cabin on…

My dear,
People say making money is a crime, that it's a vile act, an act that the greater man should not achieve to do.
They're wrong.
Making money is what allows great people to continue doing great work. Like with us for example,
We don't make movies to make money, we make money to make more movies.
We think our work here at Disney is fantastic, and if we ignored the fact that this world's currency of exchange is money and went about charging nothing for our work, not only would it devalue and disrespect the work we've done, and the blood, sweat, and tears that we put into that work, but we'd also have no way of surviving off our work. We would treat our passion of movie-making as a hobby because we'd have full-time jobs elsewhere which we work at trying to make money to feed ourselves and our families.
If we didn't make money, we wouldn't be able to do what we love full-time. And that's it, that's all of it. We don't do what we love to make money, nope, not at all. We just choose to not hide from the fact that money is a necessity for living.
Falsely yours,
Walter Elias "Walt" Disney

I meant to post this yesterday because I found it to be too good not to: Chris Matthews has Alan Grayson on HardBall. During the interview, Alan Grayson talks about using reconciliation to pass Health Care – weeks before others were talking about it. Chris Matthews proceeds to be a huge holier-than-thou dick to Alan Grayson, believing he is crazy for even suggesting the use of reconciliation.

Thoughts On The Current Status Of Healthcare
As you know, I post a lot of political things here on this blog. It's what I'm interested in and I like writing down my thoughts and opinions. Lately, one of the biggest things in US politics has been the healthcare debate. There's a lot to digest. Here are my thoughts.
The House of Representatives
The House passed it's version of the health care bill back in November. For the most part it's a decent bill. It's got the public option. According to the CBO, having the public option in the bill saves the most money and covers the most people. The end of discussion on that. Anything less than the public option in the bill will cover less people and cost more money. Also, mind you, the public option is supported by the majority of the people – see any reputable poll on the subject. One particular problem with the House bill is that won't cover abortions – via the Stupak amendment that did get passed. If you believe in a woman's right to choose, then this is a bad thing.
The Senate
Uh, the Senate. The Senate is still trying to get a bill passed. The problem in the Senate, as compared to the House, is that due to a filibuster threat from the Republicans, the Democrats need a filibuster-proof vote count of 60 to get the bill passed. The good news is that the Senate has a filibuster-proof majority, but only by the smallest possible margin: 0. The problem, therefore, is that if any one of those Senators decides, or rather threatens, to not vote for the bill, the whole thing falls apart. That, if you aren't aware, is what's happening. You have people like Joe Lieberman of Connecticut who are threatening to vote against the bill if it has a public option basically just to seem important and in general be a dick. So, Harry Reid, the Senate Majority Leader, is being a big pussy and getting rid of the public option in order to please a few Senators. This is disheartening to progressives, such as myself.
A quick tangent. I mentioned that the Senate would need a majority to get this bill passed. That's not exactly true. There are a few other options. Namely, cloture and reconciliation. Voting for cloture basically just means voting to end debate on a bill. You can vote in favor of cloture and not in favor of the actual bill. Reconciliation is immune to filibusters and therefore would only need a simple majority to pass – 51 or 50 (tie) + the Vice President's tiebreaking vote. There's a lot more to it, but the point is, it's possible to pass the bill with just 51 votes. So far, the Senate has chosen not to go this route. Though I don't know why exactly. Which sucks.
So now we're not getting the public option in the Senate bill. Instead, what we're getting is, well, we're not really sure yet. That's sort of in flux at the moment. From what I've read, instead of the public option, the Senate bill will: allow people over 55 to enroll in Medicare, create something like what the members of Congress get for health coverage – the Federal Employee Health Benefits Program, and would create a public option trigger that would go into effect if certain targets aren't met.
Trigger's are pointless. There has never been a trigger put into place that wasn't designed to never be pulled. A trigger has been an idea floating around for a while now. Rahm Emanuel, President Obama's Chief of Staff, has been pushing for a trigger ever since the health care debate started. Olympica Snowe, the liberalish Republican from Maine also pushed for the trigger. Snowe's plans for the trigger would save around 10-15 billion as compared to over 100 billion with the public option. That's not to say that this trigger is the same, could be a little better, could be a little worse. Regardless, it's not going to save as much as a public option. Which, to me, is the point. Whatever covers the most people and saves the most money – do that.
That all being said, the public option isn't the entire health care bill. There's a lot of good stuff in there – a lot of reform. Just not as much as there could be. Or really, should be. Does that mean that it should be scrapped altogether? Probably not. But it's still hard not to be disappointed.
One good thing from the Senate bill is that Ben Nelson's Stupak-esque amendment was defeated – by way of a table vote.
All of that is to say that there's still a lot to do. The Senate has to pass their version of the bill. Then it has to be merged with the House bill. Then it has to be passed by both houses. Then it has to be signed by the President. So, suffice to say, still a lot to do.
Rep. Earl Blumenauer (D-Ore.) Has An Interesting Idea
So Rep. Earl Blumenauer, D-Ore., has a very interesting idea – a bill that will withhold Federal health benefits from members of Congress until Health Legislation is passed. What a novel idea. I wholly support it.
Via The Washington Independent
PS. I had to look up how to spell wholly, for some reason it just seems weird being spelled that way.
Rep. Alan Grayson Continues Being A Badass
Representative Alan Grayson (D-FL) reserved an hour to speak about health care. Republicans didn't care for the way he was talking and unsuccessfully tried to cut off his speech.
Alan Grayson has become my favorite Congressman. Please clone yourself, have your clone move to Kansas, and successfully run for Congress. Thanks.

AARP and AMA Announce Support For House Health Care Bill
Apparently the AARP and the AMA have announced their support for the House of Representatives health care bill. Despite covering more people and lowering the US deficit, there doesn't seem to be all that many groups announcing support for Health Care reform. Nice to see that starting to change a bit.

SAN JOSE, Calif. (CBS.MW) -- Though they rebounded in the final 90 minutes of trading, big-name Internet stocks were weak for much of Tuesday. Online auctioneer EBay, though, was an exception, and it may have had Maynard Webb to thank.
Webb was named to oversee all engineering and technical operations, including site operations, at EBay EBAY, +0.24% Webb leaves Gateway gtw where he was senior vice president and chief information officer.
Investor reaction
Shares of EBay gained 9 5/8 to end the day at 89 1/4. EBay shares, though, remain about 60 percent below an all-time high notched in April.
Webb's appointment follows several outages of EBay's site, including a 22-hour site failure in June and another late last week. See full story.
"Maynard's background in reorganizing and revamping Gateway will be a great asset to our technologies division," Kevin Pursglove, senior communications director for EBay, told CBS.MarketWatch.com. "Our top priority right now is to gain greater site stability."
Webb, EBay said in a statement, contributed to Gateway's rapid expansion and Internet-enabled business operations.
As president of a unit dubbed EBay Technologies, Webb will be responsible for all technology strategies, engineering, architecture and site operations.
Webb will lead the recently appointed executive engineering staff, which includes Mark Ryan, the new chief technology officer, formerly of IBM, and Bob Quinn, EBay's new chief information officer, formerly of Sun Microsystems.
Analyst corner
"EBay seems to be hiring all the right people," said analyst David Zale of Sands Brothers & Co. "They are putting the dollars in the right place."
Analyst Mary Meeker of Morgan Stanley Dean Witter said she foresees impressive growth opportunities for the company. After EBay's annual analyst meeting Monday, she said in a research note that the company's focus is on improving technology infrastructure. "EBay will put together impressive numbers in the fourth quarter," she said.
The company said in the analyst meeting that it could take three to six months to reach its site-stability objective, analyst Derek Brown of Volpe Brown Whelan & Co. noted.
"The company has made a concerted effort to expand their technology team," said Brown, commenting on Webb's appointment. "They are paying more attention to site failures."

In: Dental treatment20 Mar 2010
The majority of dental procedures may be done in the office usually without sedation or general anesthesia. More complicated procedures and/or patients who are uncooperative or suffering from phobias may require a general anesthetic to provide their dental treatment. Providing anesthesia for the mentally challenged, combative, and uncooperative patient presents a unique challenge to the health care team. The increased fear and anxiety caused by their separation from familiar surroundings, parents, and/or guardians often leads to an aggressive, noncompliant, combative behavior.
Moreover, the association of previous visits to healthcare facilities with bad experiences may further increase their anxiety. Apprehension of the guardian or parent can significantly affect the patient's behavior. In all cases, communication, preoperative education, and de-sensitization of the patient and parent or guardian have proven helpful. Mentally challenged patients frequently have multiple medical problems, which may include cardiac disease, notably conduction defects associated with Down's Syndrome. Patients with neuromuscular disease may have a history of aspiration and chronic pneumonitis. Macroglossia, hypoplasticity of the maxilla/mandible, palatal abnormalities, and mandibular protrusion are the usual airway abnormalities encountered in paients with Down's Syndrome.

The ideal technique for general anesthesia should allow for a rapid, safe, and smooth induction with easy airway management, followed by a stable uncomplicated maintenance throughout the procedure, and concluding with an uneventful reversal and extubation. Standard patient monitoring should be employed which includes an electrocardiogram (ECG), blood pressure, pulse oximetry, capnography, and a provision for the measurement of temperature. The airway is shared between the anesthesiologist and dental surgeon and must be protected at all times. A number of anesthetic strategies have been suggested to facilitate induction and maintenance of general anesthesia.
Ketamine has been recommended for use as a primary agent or to facilitate induction. It can be administered orally, intramuscularly, or intravenously. In addition, because it maintains some pharyngeal and laryngeal reflexes, it makes it an ideal induction agent. However, tracheal intubation cannot be achieved without the use of muscle relaxants. Although intravenous access for induction is preferred, it may not be possible to secure this access in the anxious or hostile, combative patient. In such patients, IM doses of up to 12 mgAg ketamine may provide sufficient anesthesia to secure IV access. Oral ketamine in doses of 0.5 to 8 mgAg has also been employed. Oral midazolam has recently become popular for preoperative sedation. Midazolam has a bitter taste. However, when mixed with a sugar-based drink such as Kool Aid® or chocolate syrup, it can be administered orally and can provide sufficient preoperative amnesia and sedation (Clarke, personal communication). This technique avoids the use of needles or masks and renders the anxious and uncooperative patient amenable to an IV induction. A number of IV techniques have been employed using IV ketamine, barbiturates, alfentanil, and recently propofol. A disadvantage of ketamine is over activity of the sympathetic nervous system and secretions that can be minimized by the preoperative (PO) or IM administration of atropine (0.6 to 1 mg) or the IM administration of gly-copyrrolate (0.4 to 0.6 mg) (Robinul®) 1 hr before surgery.
kamagra soft tabs
Although scopalamine (Hyoscine®) has been recommended, its use is not advisable in the mentally challenged patient because of its sedative properties and sometimes unpredictable recovery profile. Dissociative emergence can also occur with scopalamine and ketamine. Barbiturates such as methohexital (Brietal®), thiopental, and thiamylal (Surital®) have been successfully employed for induction of anesthesia. Thiopental at doses of 2.5 to 4 mgAg and methohexital in doses of 1 to 1.5 mgAg have been recommended. Methohexital is 1.5 to 2 times as potent as thiopental and has a rapid onset and offset time. However, occasionally it does produce involuntary movement. Propofol is a very popular induction agent. It is usually given IV at a dose of 1.5 to 3 mgAg mixed with 20 to 30 mg of lidocaine, to minimize pain on injection. With the use of IV hypnotics, one can also combine small doses of benzodiazepines, such as diazepam (Valium®), emulsified diazepam, or midazolam together with a small dose of 0.5 to 1.5 ixgAg fentanyl or 25 to 50 ixgAg of alfentanil (Alfenta®). The drawback in the use of opioids is an increased incidence of nausea and vomiting. The problems resulting from nausea and vomiting, which are common with any opioid, can be minimized by the administration of 0.5 to 0.75 mg of droperidol (Inapsine®) or 25 to 50 mg of dimenhydrinate (Gravol®). Once induction is accomplished, any muscle relaxant can be employed as long as the airway is not compromised and anesthesia is maintained with inhalational agents, such as halothane, isoflurane, enflurane, or with a totally IV technique such as propofol. Induction excitement is often a problem with the inhalational technique. Comined techniques of IV induction with barbiturates or ketamine together with inhalational agents are often associated with a prolonged recovery.
An alternative to the IV technique and IM sedation is inhalational induction with N20, 02, and vapor anesthetic. Halothane was an ideal inhalational agent with a pleasant odor that was readily accepted by most patients. However, a new inhalation agent, sevoflurane (Ultane®), is now available. It is less irritating and pungent than halothane, has a faster induction, and has a shorter recovery period once it has been discontinued. After the induction is completed and an IV line is established, muscle relaxants are given and then intubation can be performed. If desired, a different inhalational agent can then be used for the duration of the case. canadian antibiotics

Northern Michigan Regional Hospital will host an Earth Day collection drive for those with unused medications and other related items.
The collection drive drop-off will take place on Thursday, April 22 from 7-11 a.m. and 2-6 p.m. in the circle drive off Mitchell Street. An additional drop-off location will be located in the hospital cafeteria from 11 a.m.-1:30 p.m.
"Our primary focus for Earth Day this year is to educate the public that flushing unused medications is no longer a viable option if we want to maintain the purity of the Great Lakes, so we decided to do a medication drop-off here at the hospital," said Linda Ward, chair of the Environmental Sustainability Team at NMRH.
Ward said the hospital hopes to provide both a service and education to the community by allowing them to simply drive by and drop off their unwanted items.

With his steps followed by mine we entered the house . It was indeed classy and why it shouldn't have been…after all this is something for which the oberois famous. Unlike other boys , he was not a dirt freak!. Cleanliness was in his blood it seemed. However ,…like a true gentleman he offered me to sit and have some juice or tea..whatever I like .
"How are you?"..he asked with utmost politeness . This was something I couldn't answer. What should have I replied that I'm not fine because I have been waiting for you since the time you left Himachal and this stupid fella is in love with you no matter she hadn't seen you for the past 20 years. What a stupid answer it would be and I answered with a 'fine'
"How are you by the way" I asked him pretending to be calm as much I could
"Absolutely fantastic" he said and yeaahh..it was visible on his face .
I felt he got that I was a bit uncomfortable and why not you just cannot hug someone you're meeting after 20 years and say I love you. It indeed was the silliest idea.
"You ok ?"..asked a concerned him and I replied with a nod
"But you doesn't seem so" he fired back …guess he was in a mood to fight but I was not and so replied
"No..it's nothing like that..I'm absolutely fine"
But he wasn't satisfied ? Somewhere I felt he was doing it deliberately but never mind he didn't gave up
"Oh common I can see that you're not fine but you're not telling it coz you're annika…the tadibaaz annika ..never admit your problems"
I have had enough ..don't know how but my inner fire got light up again
"Oy!..don't say rubbish about me . Yes!.. I'm annika.. tadibaaz annika..what will you do huhh??.. what's wrong in that if I'm a soul with a lot of self respect. You can't do anything in that…you're nothing in front of me..just a mere SSO..you might be a business tycoon in front of media but this is Himachal not your Mumbai..
You……" Rest of the words faded .. I needed some breathe for i have been speaking continuously. A break was needed and during the break's duration I saw him standing in front of me all red …not because of anger but laughter!
He have been trying to control it for ling but as visible from his face .he could no longer handle it and he bursted out with fits of laughter accompanied by my inaudible chuckle,a sheepish and embarrassed one though .
After a certain interval of time we paused . And unknowingly I was comfortable . That awkwardness was kind of no longer between us. I was feeling happy. We had a lovely evening .
Must say..he's a great cook. The third love of my life,pasta..he still remembered it . I was elated ..why? I myself didn't knew. A morsel of pasta got stuck to the edge of my lower lip . Since I was busy in blabbering about Himachal's beauty and enjoying my pasta I didn't noticed it but Seemed he did. Gently coming towards me ,bending a little and then finally getting the morsel out . God knows ..this small task have been so awkward and difficult with me . Nervousness hovered me again ,awkwardness regained power.
After emptying my plate as soon as I can I bid him a formal bye with no friendly hug along . Admist the food..we didn't talked even a bit and maybe the rest of the evening as well! I was In such a hurry to get back home . With my legs almost running I left for my place without even listening to what he was saying. I'll do everything later but now I seriously needed my grief sharer,my pillow. Badly needed it .
After crying my heart out I layed down on a small yet cozy and comfortable bed of my cottage . The night was same as usually . Under the shadow of stars and shade of moonlight . Pondering on the day's events . Suddenly ..my phone beeped! It was a message from him ..I read the notification . But decided to open and see it later in the morning tomorrow.
I closed my eyes with a sigh and drifted myself in a deep slumber .
Salut mon amies!
Well…a big HIIII! …so with 3rd part of this simple love story . I wanted to ask ..is the way of writing clear to you people ? It's not confusing till now? If any problem is there or if will be in future ..then do tell me . And a biggest request ..GUYS PLEASE COMMENT..IT WON'T TAKE MORE THAN A SECOND. PLEASE.
Once again thanks a lot for the immense support and encouragement

Autumn Harvest
There's not a lot to harvest in my garden but the apple tree is always reliable. This year again there is a good crop, big apples- for cooking when they are first picked but by October they should be sweet enough to eat. We have had the first of many apple crumbles.
Lavender is the other crop in the garden - a good bunch hanging up to dry.
The summer bedding plants in the hanging baskets are finished and its time for pansies.
But I did come in from the garden and do a little bit of knitting - for a friends winter baby. This Debbie Bliss Baby Cashmerino pattern I have knitted before.

Los Angeles, Jun 21 (PTI) "Jerry Maguire" actor Cuba Gooding Jr is venturing into direction with "Louisiana Caviar", an independent New Orleans-set thriller.
Gooding Jr will star with Richard Dreyfuss and Famke Janssen in the movie, written by Eitan Gorlin.
The film is a tale of sin involving good people who, out of desperation, resort to doing bad things that inevitably leave them with life-changing consequences.
Gooding Jr, who has rewritten the script for the film, originally came on board the project just as actor but things changed when its director dropped out. PTI SSN SSN

Just finished this cookbook/tablet stand, made from a mix of woods, all from scraps or reclaimed firewood. I think the base is cherry—it came off the firewood pile so I'm not entirely sure. Flattened top and bottom with my planer (and sled), but left the sides as is, just hitting them with sandpaper up to 150 grit. Uprights are maple, left over from my hammered dulcimer project. The slats, from top to bottom, are walnut, padauk, and plum. These originated from, respectively, a piece of firewood, a scrap from my end table, and a bug-eaten tree carcass my neighbor gave me. The page rests are mahogany, left over from my butcher block cutting board project.
Finished with 4 coats of satin spray-on lacquer.
Setting the uprights into the base with an angled mortise was a challenge, and I'm inordinately pleased that it worked out, with matching angles and everything!

Urine leakage has many possible causes.
Weak muscles
Most bladder control problems are caused by weak pelvic muscles. These muscles may become stretched and weak during pregnancy and childbirth. Weak muscles let the bladder sag out of position, which may stretch the opening to the urethra.
Two anatomical drawings of a bladder. The bladder on the left has weak pelvic floor muscles that allow urine to escape. Labels point to the bladder, urine, urethra (open), and weak pelvic muscles. The bladder on the right has strong pelvic floor muscles that keep urine from escaping. Labels point to the bladder, urine, urethra (closed), and strong pelvic muscles.
Weak pelvic muscles and strong pelvic muscles.
Nerve damage
Damaged nerves may send signals to the bladder at the wrong time. As a result, a bladder spasm may push out urine without warning. Sometimes damaged nerves send no signals at all, and the brain can't tell when the bladder is full. Nerves can be damaged by diseases or trauma.
Diseases and conditions that can damage the nerves include
o diabetes
o Parkinson's
o multiple sclerosis
o stroke
Trauma that can damage the nerves includes
o pelvic or back surgery
o herniated disc
o radiation
Medicines, alcohol, and caffeine
Leaking can happen when medicines affect any of the muscles or nerves. You may take medicine to calm your nerves so that you can sleep or relax. This medicine may dull the nerves in the bladder and keep them from signaling the brain when the bladder is full. Without the message and urge, the bladder overflows. Drinking alcohol can also cause these nerves to fail. Water pills—diuretics—take fluid from swollen areas of your body and send it to the bladder. This rapid filling may cause the bladder to leak. Caffeine drinks such as coffee and cola also cause the bladder to fill quickly. Make sure your drinks are decaf.
A urinary tract infection can irritate bladder nerves and cause the bladder to squeeze without warning. This type of incontinence goes away once the infection has been cured.
Excess weight
Being overweight can put pressure on the bladder and contribute to stress incontinence.

It was bad news that Newcastle could lose Fabricio Coloccini for the next four games with a hamstring pull.
Coloccini congratulates Papiss Cisse after first goal
But some good news to balance that is that Cheick Tiote and Ryan Taylor are expected to be fit for the Liverpool game at St. James' Park next Sunday afternoon.
Tiote should have recovered from his hamstring problem, and Ryan Taylor has been out for the last three games with a calf problem, but that has now cleared up.
Newcastle still have a paper thin squad, and we have been short of center-back cover, since Steven Taylor was out for the season in early December.
That's when he ruptured his Achilles, at the end of the Chelsea game at home, and we conceded two stoppage time goals because of it.
And the club's failure to sign Watford centre-back Adrian Mariappa in January could still come back to haunt us, but we hope not.
Alan talked about the center-back worry at Newcastle:
" Center-back is the position that's the worry. We've known all year we were vulnerable there." "To lose Steven Taylor was disappointing and to lose Coloccini now is tough."
"We are really going to have to lean on the big fella Williamson who had one of his best games." "If we can get Coloccini back it will really boost us as well."
Mike Williamson has to step up to the plate while Colo is out, and he did play well in yesterday's game, apart from the misunderstanding he had with goalkeeper Tim Krul.
But in those situations it's always dangerous to wait for the goalkeeper to come out to get the ball, especially with goal poachers like Shane Long around.
In those situations in the future, Mike should just kick the ball out of the stadium – when in doubt kick it out, is what we were always told as youngsters.
But there's no doubt Mike Williamson and James Perch have now become important players for Newcastle in our continuing efforts to get a Europa League position for next season.
Comments welcome.

To be fair to Willo, before he had his injurys, he was a really composed no nonsense defender.
I remember Bobby Moncur talking about him a few times on the radio and he really liked im. I think hes got it in his locker to be a good standard CB and he would get into a few other pre teams if we are honest!
He is blatently short of confidence and a little form, so his composure is low, mainly due to being rushed back into the first team (not his fault) and also FAN PRESSURE!!
yes of course we are entitled to our opinions, but right now th lads needs supprt and he needs to feel TEN FEET TALL on Sunday.
Lets do what we can to help that! I have alreay emailed the club, to ask them to pass my support as a fan, it would be good if others could too, it might not do anything, but it might just give him a bit more belief that we are with him.
Willo simply doesn't like running back towards his own goal, so instead of jockeying the opponent, he's liable to make rash challenges, because he knows if a nippy player knocks it past him, he's toast.
My main worry for the Liverpool match, is they go with both Bellamy and Suarez up top. Willo can handle and is suited to play against Carroll, not those 2.
On the other hand, they'll likely have that Flanagan at RB, who we can take advantage of, and Carragher, who prefers to grapple and keep STs nearby, doesn't like movement (Cisse) and Benny could run rings around the fossil.
I know we have a strict transfer policy i.e. will not pay over the odds for any player but you can't help thinking another £0.5-1m would have secured Mariappa. This may turn out to be small change when you consider the money you get from higher league position, Europe etc. I think Colo's injury could cost us.
Heed the warning brothers and sisters for he is coming and he shall rise again. From the ashes of optimism valley he will climb to absolve you from your sins against nufc and he shall take down the false prophet 'ruddy'.
You shall see, this Friday at 5 o'clock his redemption will be at hand and you will be saved!
Do not believe in the valley for he is your only salvation!
Great, a good season could be ruined in the next few games due to a lack of investment in defence. It is inexcusable that we haven't replaced Campbell and entered a season with only three suitable centre halfs only two of which are PL standard. To be fair to Williamson he is what he is-I have no criticism for him personally like I never did when Perch was under similar treatment-end of the day you get what you pay for-we paid pennies for these players and the end product is subsequently that they simply aren't good enough despite their fantastic efforts. If our season tumbles now then the blame lies at the door of Ashley and Llambias for failing to provide adequate resources to make our squad competitive.
By all rights Newcastle should tear Liverpool a new one, but you never know. The same team has beaten Man City with some great football, but then let three goals in against QPR. Newcastle should score, their defence has plenty flaws, and the same front three would hammer them. Hatem has another good game and we win I think.
I don't think we'll keep a clean sheet with them having the little racist on the pitch, and Bellamy available. And there is always the worry that Judas Carroll will have the game of his career.
Really dont know about willo seems a box of nerves sometimes badly at fault for WBA goal hope he can make the step up and be the leader at the back, would love to see santon at RB or RM his played out of posistion at LB has to check back every time to cross so does HBA with the exception of him being LM for cisse frist goal he was able to cross first time with his left which he cant do when he plays RM. Had a blinder yest wel done.
Losing Colo is a huge hit for us, there's just no hiding away from it. But at least there are some positives.
One one of our best assets over recent seasons, including when Hughton was in charge, has been our team spirit and our fighting quality. Even when we haven't played well this season (spells of the Norwich game, the 2nd half against Wolves, most of the Blackburn game) we've still been able to pick up points, with a few exceptions of course. Our grit, steel and determination, and our players' desire to work for each other on the pitch, had been a huge part of our success this season. Loosing Colo is a massive blow for sure, but we'll fight even harder without him.
Perch is another plus. I'm still not going to totally revert my opinion of him yet, but in the last 3 or 4 games he's been so much better, especially yesterday where he was my 3rd choice man of the match. Never thought I'd say that. To turn his recent performances around after being, to be honest, pretty awful before that, shows that he has strength of character and the ability to improve. If he can keep growing and take this chance to show everyone exactly what he's capable of then hopefully we won't suffer too much. It's a shame he'll have to drop back in at CB though, which is where he's looked his weakest, but he is a CB after all and I'm sure Pardew will be drilling him hard in training all week.
Tiote coming back is exactly what we need after losing Colo. He'll make a huge difference. It's a real shame that as Perch has improved in recent weeks Guthrie has been awful the last 2 games. I don't know if he's moving on in the summer and he knows it, or if he's just having a sudden blip in confidence and form, but he just didn't look interested yesterday and he was non-existent against Norwich. Tiote coming back will really sure things up in the middle.
Williamson looked slightly better yesterday, which is good, and that sloppy goal we conceded was more Krul's fault in my opinion. Pards played it down very well so hopefully they won't dwell on it and he'll improve again next week. It'll be a lot harder for him without the skipper to marshal his performance, but that's what we've been all about these last three seasons – spirit, drive and belief!
The other big positives are Cisse and HBA, who have both been outstanding recently. Ba came close to scoring again but the work he does off the ball and in defence is pivotal. When he's not scoring he's still having a massive contribution to the game, so for me those 3 players up top are 3 of the most dangerous in the league on their day.
We'll be oozing confidence after 6 points from 2 games; Liverpool will be exactly the opposite. So, like I say I'm gutted about Colo, but there's a lot to be glad for!
Colo-Sus @12 – I'm sure you are right because that is definitely his style of wrting. In fact I'm surprised he has not been back already to tell us he was right all along about using 433.
I've just looked back through the blogs at people's team predictions and I can't see anybody who got it correct which is surprising as it was the same team as against Norwich (same personel anyway). I'm just hoping against Liverpool the team against WBA turn up and not the team against Norwich!
GoalsBringSmiles @ # 11
What a load of bs you say you have no criticism for Willo but you criticise by insinuation, "only two of the three" are of standard, I really do question the intelligence of people that claim one thing but are doing the complete opposite in the same paragraph.
Do you actually understand what you are typing?
As for the old chestnut you only get what you pay for, what a monstrous heap of bs that one is, we are level with chelski, sitting eight points above slitherpool and ten points above the mackems but we spent the least so tell me again you only get what you pay for.
"You only get what you pay for " is a salesmans mantra I know that as I spent several years earning a living as one, and it is used to tip the sale in your favour when pitching to a resistant sucker.
Trotting that one out tells me you were hooked years ago and continue to pay through the nose for over priced labels.
One word describes that type of thinking,,,,,,,,,,,,, MUG.
@ markmac
yes but perch is also fairly short and i know he will start there and i am happy he is he is playing well was just wondering what people thought of cheik there..yes santon is tall but from what ive seen he does not look very good in the air sagna beat him to evry high ball against arsenal i would like to see him right back instead of simpson but i know that is not going to happen
cupid @21
Question my intelligence all you like but when you do so have a word with your own wise guy…firstly, I haven't insinuated a thing-my point was simple and transparent-i support whoever pulls on the black and white shirt but I am also realistic enough to accept that some players are not quite good enough for European aspirations. This is not a criticism of Williamson as a player but rather the ambitions of an owner who has shown himself as willing to gamble on our fantastic progress in shortchanging the squad. Williamson as a squad player has contributed to our progress as has Perch, but surely an ambitious owner would have seen the opportunity to fill the conspicuous gap left in Taylor's absence. Indeed, the issue need not even be about quality of players but quantity-nobody can deny that we have dropped points these season due to unsuitable replacements for first team players. We are still in a great league position but I wouldn't even be having this conversation if there were contingency plans in place for the loss of our integral captain-there is justified worry at the slightest of knocks to Colo as we all know that his replacement can not sustain his level of performance. Nevertheless fingers crossed that whoever comes in can battle through and that MA invests big time in the summer-which he'll need to do more so than ever before if we qualify for europe (please note i do not mean spending 10m plus per player).
Cupid, I will answer your patronising question when you reflect on your own 'bs' and answer it yourself-'do you actually understand what you are typing?' I think I already know the answer however, and it likely differs to yours. Once again you have taken a wrong turn-just because I say 'you only get what you pay for' in relation to Williamson in particular, how can you conclude that what I mean is we must spend comparatively large amounts of money in order to find the right quality? Tell me where I have said this? The amount we have paid for foreign imports like Tiote, Cabaye, etc. is fantastic and long may this astute transfer business continue however, you can not tell me that a few hundred thousand for a lower league player can be expected to produce a consistent top quality PL and European player-this is a rarity, and sorry but Williamson is not a rarity.
One more thing Cupid you quite rashly call me a mug immediately after questioning my intelligence an insult you have based upon your own assumptions and prejudice…bright as a button you lad, and a salesman to boot…this suggests a lot about your own personality in that you're able to justify ripping off an unsuspecting 'sucker' because they are somehow a lower form of life than yourself. Get real, you are not the only human being on this planet and you aren't always right. For example, you jump to yet another mammoth conclusion in pigeonholing me as a materialist after 'over priced labels', I defy anyone to find a single household labelled attached to the clothes that I wear. So no, i am not one of your 'suckers' Cupid just as I am not a man willing to gain from the misled greed of my fellow men. Assumption is not the ilk of a wise man, nor is manipulation or prejudice so drop the act brainiac.

Forget FOMO, Brits are embracing JOMO (Joy of Missing Out)
The summer's over, and that means it's time to turn our attention to the hugely enjoyable activity called not going out. As the evenings get darker and the colder weather hits the UK, online food-ordering platform, hungryhouse.co.uk has announced the launch of its JOMO (Joy of Missing Out) text-line, an excuse generator designed for hibernating Brits.
The service has been launched following a recent study suggesting that staying in is the new going out. As must-watch TV shows such as Bake Off & Strictly Come Dancing hit the nation's screens, the surprising statistics unveil that 64% of customers admit to feeling pressured to go to social functions. The survey also found that those who find it hard to turn down invitations would prefer a quiet night in on the sofa with a partner or friend instead.
When asked how often they cancel plans last minute, 75% have admitted to fibbing to get out of plans. What's more, 18% of people claim that they have gone as long as two days without leaving the house, suggesting that the nation is ditching parties for their pyjamas.
In light of the survey, hungryhouse has created the JOMO helpline, available for customers to text 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. From "I've just opened an expensive bottle of wine" to "My dog wants a sleepover", the texting-powered service offers up imaginative excuses, sure to keep friends fooled.
Alice Mrongovius, CEO of hungryhouse said: "We are encouraging customers to embrace JOMO and make the most of 'me' time. The helpline offers the perfect solution for those who are quite content staying in and cosying up on the sofa with a delicious takeaway."
Whether Brits are too busy watching Doctor Foster or can't be bothered to swap their slippers for sneakers, customers simply have to text 'JOMO' to 88802* to receive their ultimate alibi.

The art of making eggplant is a far more detailed process than one might originally think. To achieve the perfect delicate balance of soft tender vegetable with light and airy breading topped with just the right amount of crisp crunch takes practice. As an evolved eggplant lover it took my first experience with the properly prepared plum-colored veggie to really appreciate its hearty yet tender flavor. So as an ode to one of my favorite dish starters, here are my tips for foolproof Eggplant Cutlet.
The first step to good eggplant is to take out the "bitter." Now I have been guilty of just slicing up an eggplant, breading it, and throwing it in the frying pan…big mistake. I promise, it is really worth taking the time to drain your eggplant first. Start by peeling the thick skin, slice length wise (the better way!) and lay out on a wire rack. (Make sure to place your wire rack over a cookie sheet which will catch the liquid that is pressed out!)
Liberally salt your eggplant on both sides and press using whatever assortment of cookie sheets, pots, pans, tea kettles, or my personal favorite, leftover magazines 🙂 you'd like.
Let the eggplant sit out all day, or up to overnight, turning half-way through. When your eggplant is nice and drained, rinse under cool water and pat dry.
Now you've come to chef's choice. There are two ways to bread and cook this eggplant. First, is the traditional way of flour, egg, and breadcrumb.
Then simply toss slices into a hot pan coated with oil for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Be sure to remove and place on a paper towel lined plate to soak up excess oil. Another option for health nuts is to bake the eggplant at 400 degrees for about 10-12 minutes, turning once.
The second is to only egg and flour your eggplant then to follow the frying steps above. (This is an ideal choice for layered and baked eggplant dishes.) Enjoy these alone, on a wedge with fresh mozzarella and basil, with homemade pesto or in classic eggplant parmesan (easy on the sauce and cheese, top with a sprinkle of oregano and let your eggplant shine!).
Ideal eggplant is really simple as long as you remember the key steps in preparation: peel, salt, press, rinse, and let your final product be the star! It may take extra time, but removing the bitterness of this fussy vegetable beforehand will ensure the appreciation of the savory notes of your dish. And don't forget to make extra!
Eat Well,
Stephanie a.k.a. The Foodetarian

MARCH 14, Galatians 5:21
To be envious is to have "a sense of discontentment or jealousy with regard to another's success or possessions". An envious person is not happy with what he or she has and wishes he would be able to get what someone else has.
When does one get envious? Sometimes a child looks at others who may be more clever, or from a wealthy family, or with more friends, and that child gets envious. You may come across envious people often. In fact, your close friend may be an envious person. Even your parent or sibling or teacher! Envy can affect everyone! So how do we overcome envy? Well, one way is to pray that God will help us to be contented. God has given us eternal life and so many other wonderful gifts for which we are so blessed and should be so grateful.
Be happy for others around you when they do well in school or are talented in music or art. And if they come from happy families, even if you think your family is not perfect, be glad for them!
Another way is this - instead of looking at others from your viewpoint, try seeing people as God does. He is not interested or impressed by their wealth or looks or popularity. He sees the wicked as sinners on their way to Hell; He sees Christians as repented sinners who want to live a life to please Him.
It is important to remind ourselves how good God is and these are just some of the many wonderful things He has done for us!
Remember, envy is a sin. The moment you think or know envy is affecting you, pray that God will help you get rid of that thinking and put you back on the right track of being contented for yourself, and happy for others!
Thought: May I never be envious!
Prayer: Heavenly Father, You have done so much for me and so please remind me never to be envious. I know it can affect me at times so I have to be so careful to not commit this sin. Instead, help me to be so grateful and contented for the much I have already been blessed with. In Jesus' name I pray, Amen.

Stained-glass window complete after nearly two decades
Charles E. Shoemaker/The Gazette
Former Gaithersburg resident Carolyn Carlson never dreamed that her idea to install a small stained-glass window in Lutheran Church of the Cross would blossom into a project that would span almost 20 years.
The Rockville church celebrated the completion of 10 stained-glass windows in its sanctuary. Each window tells the story of the liturgical church year beginning with Advent and ending with the feasts of Christ the King and All Saints.
The idea for the project was conceived in 1989 by stained glass artist Janet Cohan Schroko. She thought a version of Martin Luther's seal, which Luther designed as an expression of his faith, would look good in a window.
The church's pastor at the time, the Rev. Ken Carlson, agreed, and Schroko went to work. After she finished, her then-husband, Al Cohan, installed the panels.
Schroko said the first window looked "lonely," so she created one featuring a dove and two crosses.
The congregation agreed to design and build a new stained-glass cross for behind the altar. A committee was formed, and Carolyn Carlson, the pastor's wife and a Gaithersburg artist, was chosen to create the design.
Schroko made the stained-glass pieces for the cross and installed them in 1991. The committee then began working on a theme for the windows that line the room, Schroko said.
The Good Friday and Easter windows were dedicated together in 1993 and were followed by Nativity in 1997, Reformation in 1998 and Epiphany in 2002. In 2003, Schroko, who had been manufacturing and installing each window with her family's help, retired to North Carolina with her new husband, Gerard Schroko.
The last window was completed in December and the church held a reception March 29 to celebrate.
The Rev. Lester Stano, pastor of the church for 10 years, said members of the congregation donated money in memory of relatives. The project cost approximately $70,000.

*This post is contributed by Ellie Jo for Blissful Snapshots.
If you're thinking of heading to Los Angeles anytime soon, you need to be properly prepared and be aware of everything that this incredible place has to offer you. It's the kind of place that's easy to fall in love with, and you might find yourself not wanting to leave once you've tasted it for yourself. It is important to make the most of your time there though and that's mostly to do with the fact that there's so much on offer and you can't possibly do and see all of it.
The Entertainment Industry
Hollywood is the major draw for many people visiting Los Angeles. It's the city where dreams are turned into motion pictures and pumped out to audiences all over the world. The history of the entertainment industry in Los Angeles is fascinating and you can explore it today by visiting the museums and touring the movie studios.
Venice Beach
Venice Beach is not only one of the best beaches in America but one of the best in the entire world and anyone who's visited it will know what I mean. It's a slice of bohemian life that's totally at odds with other more corporate parts of the city so it's definitely worth checking out while you're in Los Angeles.
Learn Something
There are lots of opportunities for you to learn new things while you're visiting LA, especially if you're interested in science and space. The Griffith Observatory is one of the city's most lasting and iconic landmarks. And after you've stopped off there, you could head to The Broad, LA's big new museum that will surely impress you.
Driving in Style
One of the best things you can do in LA is simply driving around it, even better if you have an open top car and some great tunes blasting out of the speakers. There are lots of great driving routes, but the one part of the city that you definitely should drive around is Mulholland Drive. Cruising along that road in the hills above the city is simply incredible.
Where to Stay
There's something for everyone in Los Angeles when it comes to hotels and accommodation. If you're looking for high-end, no expense spared accommodation, SLS Hotel in Beverly Hills should be near the top of your list. If you get a taste for Beverly Hills, you might want to stay for even longer, in which case you should visit this website. For a more affordable stay, the Hollywood Plaza Inn is definitely worth considering.
Eating and Drinking
It will come as a little surprise that there are lots of great places to eat and drink in Los Angeles. Both The Edison and Bar Marmont are fantastic drinking spots. The latter is elegant and sophisticated in that LA way, while the former is more upbeat and fanciful. Republique and Water Grill are two of the finest restaurants in the city too.
Los Angeles is undoubtedly one of the greatest cities on earth, and you owe it to yourself to make the most of your time there.

Here's the finished back on my Bonsai Tunic from Interweave Knits Spring 2007 magazine. I love the pattern, but the yarn is a bit of a pain ... keeps splitting ... which means I really have to watch what I'm doing (and not watch TV simultaneously)! I didn't use the recommended bamboo yarn, as I had this in my stash (Mark & Kattens ? from France) .
BTW ... I'm signing myself up for the intro to digital photography course at work, so my photos should improve immensely in the near future (much to your relief, I'm sure).
For those of you who have been asking me for the baby sock pattern, here it is:
5 double-pointed needles, size 3mm
1 ball of Cascade Fixation or Elann Espirit yarn
SSK = slip, slip knit
tog = together
sl = slip
Cast on 36 stitches and divide evenly over 4 needles (eg. 9 stitches on each needle). Make sure you don't twist your stitches in the process!
Knit 1, purl 1 around in rib for 3 inches. Then do 4 rounds of knit only.
Divide for heel:
You'll only need 4 needles for this part, so put the empty one down. Using the last needle that you completed your 4 rounds of knit on, knit 9 stitches across the first needle and turn. You will now have 18 stitches on one needle and 2 'holding needles' with 9 stitches each. We're going to ignore the holding needles for now. Slip 1 and purl 17 stitches. Now you're back to the 'right' side.
Row 1 - Sl 1, knit to end of row and turn
Row 2 - Sl 1, purl to end of row and turn
Repeat these two rows until work from end of ribbing measures 1 1/4", ending with a purl row.
Turning the heel:
Row 1 - knit 13, SSK, turn
Row 2 - Sl1, purl 8, purl 2 tog, turn
Row 3 - Sl1, knit 8, SSK, turn
Row 4 - Sl1, purl 8, purl 2 tog, turn
Continue as above until all side stitches have been worked, ending with a wrong side row. You should have 10 stitches total. Knit 5 stitches to the middle of the right side row.
Heel Gusset:
Using a new needle, knit the next 5 stitches and pick up and knit 7 stitches along the right side of the heel. Knit across the instep stitches, keeping them on the 2 needles (remember, these were our previous 'holding needles'). Using your 5th needle, pick up and knit 7 stitches along the left side of the heel and then knit across the remaining 5 stitches.
You will now have a total of 42 stitches, divided in this manner:
The 1st and 4th needles will have 12 stitches each and the 2nd and 3rd needles will have 9 stitches each.
1st round: Knit to last 3 stitches on 1st needle, knit 2 tog, knit 1. Knit across 2nd and 3rd needles. At the beginning of the 4th needle, knit 1, SSK, knit to end of round.
2nd round: Knit the next row.
Repeat these two rounds until a total of 36 stitches remain. Then, just plain knit until the foot measures 1 1/4" from the beginning of the heel gusset.
Shape Toe:
Row 1: Knit to last 3 stitches on 1st needle. Knit 2 tog, knit 1. At the beginning of the 2nd needle, knit 1, SSK, and knit to end of needle. Knit to the last 3 stitches on 3rd needle, knit 2 tog, knit 1. At beginning of 4th needle, knit 1, SSK, knit to end of round.
Row 2: Knit
Repeat these last 2 rows until 20 stitches remain, and then repeat Row 1 only until 8 stitches remain. Leaving an 8" tail, cut yarn. Using a blunt needle, thread the yarn tail back through the remaining stitches, pull snugly, tie off and weave in any loose ends on the inside.
You should have enough yarn left to make a matching baby hat!
Well, it's been quite a week. Working has created some new challenges, health-wise, in my life. Although I absolutely love working at PE, the stress of hustling on my feet, 8 hours per day, has taken a toll on my health. My heart is not very happy about all the stress and activity. I've had to increase the dosage of the beta blocker to alleviate the angina and also emailed my boss to let her know that I need to either go down to no more than 4 hours/shift, or she needs to find someone else, if that doesn't work for her. I was very sad to have to send that missive off, let me tell you! I truly thought I was almost back to normal, but really, who stands on their feet for 8 hours a day normally? How could I possible have known? She was very gracious and said she wants to keep me on and would try to work around it, which they did.
It looks like I'll be working Mon/Thur/Fri -- 4 hours each day. This is ideal, as it gives me 2 days off at the beginning of the week and then another 2 at the end, to rest. I'm really hoping this does the trick, as I'm just not good at sitting at home all day, plus, I love what I'm doing! It's always somewhat amusing when I have to let someone know that I've had a heart attack in the past year and they look at me, shocked and wonder 'at your age'????? Then I explain how the radiation treatment I had 18 years ago for Hodgkin's disease, damaged/scarred the lining of my arteries. It can be overwhelming.

We are working on math with the boys, kind of in a loosey goosey way until my Singapore Math workbooks and textbook get here (and I need to order the home instructors guide). I was really surprised that my boys did not immediately take to math manipulatives (i.e. counting with beans, rods, etc.), in fact they seemed annoyed by them. I was at a lose about what to do, so I have just been writing out the 1+ tables, and the 2+ tables, and so on and having them work on problems (really boring). Then, I came upon this really cool website called the Khan Academy. It is a series of videos on YouTube that teach math from basic addition on up. The boys watched it and were fascinated by the "yard stick" method in which you have a series of numbers written along a horizontal line. You mark the first number in the equation and then make little jumps equivalent to the second number in the equation to get the answer. Example: 2 + 5 = you would mark the #2 and then with your pencil jump 5 spots to land on the 7. I thought I would switch it up and make a game-type board. I want to get some little pieces (like from Monopoly but bigger so L won't eat them and choke)...maybe have one piece as the primary spot marker and then have a car or something that "drives" the number of spaces needed.
My Singapore books came last night, but I am still going to use this when we do problems.

December 151984 - Vega 1 Launch. Soviet twin missions to Venus (lander) and Comet Halley flyby.
1970 - The USSR's Venera 7 touches down on Venus and becomes the first spacecraft to transmit data from another planet. Although data transmission after landing only lasted 23 minutes, possibly due to landing on its side from a parachute failure at 30 feet altitude, its temperature and pressure sensors confirmed that the planet's surface air pressure was ninety times that of Earth and the temperature was over 475 degrees Celsius (900 degree Fahrenheit).
1965 - Gemini 6 and Gemini 7 carried out the first rendezvous of two spacecraft in Earth orbit. The Gemini 6 astronauts were Walter Schirra and Thomas Stafford, and the astronauts of Gemini 7 were Frank Borman and James A. Lovell, Jr. - You Tube Video ...
1911 - How's this for a particularly notable "first" in astronomy (considering what it took in 1911 to be able to make this observation): "It is quite interesting, to see the sun wander round the heavens at so to speak the same altitude day and night. I think we are the first to see this curious sight." Roald Amundsen, leader of the first group to reach the South Pole Dec. 15, 1911 (and possibly the first group to reach either Pole) (sledging diary, Dec. 16, 1911; quoted in Huntford, "Scott and Amundsen")

Two of the three Long Island football players who admitted sexually abusing freshman teammates will be confined indefinitely, and the third will return home on probation, a Pennsylvania judge ruled yesterday. The New York Times says that one of the three varsity players, from Mepham High School in Bellmore, N.Y., was sentenced to boot camp. A second was sentenced to a residential treatment facility for juveniles. The third teenager can return home but will not be allowed to attend Mepham High School. Robert Kelly, an attorney for two victims, said the decision effectively ends the major criminal aspect of the Mepham scandal.
Prosecutors are expected to charge a fourth Mepham player in the attacks, and a grand jury is investigating whether the team's five coaches should face charges. Kelly said he expects to file civil suits against the school district.
The sentences were delivered during a closed hearing Wayne County, Pa. Common Pleas Court President Judge Robert Conway has sealed the case and ordered those involved not to talk about the proceedings.
Relatives of the victims had argued that the crimes were so brutal they merited the harshest possible punishment. Prosecutors said the defendants repeatedly sodomized the three freshman players with golf balls, pine cones, and a broomstick last August at a football training camp in Preston Park, Pa.

Supreme hero, Sai Dharam Tej scored a decent hit in the form of Supreme. The collections are pretty decent even in the third week and the film is entertaining everyone big time. This is Tej's back to back hit and he is very happy the way his career is shaping up.
Speaking in an interview, Tej thanked the Telugu audience and mega fans for accepting him with open arms. The young hero also added that he wants to improve with every film and does not want to showcase everything he got in just one film.
Tej has some pretty intersting films lined up and is looking set in his career. Let's hope that he does well and grow to greater heights.

1) Number of craft breweries per capita
2) Number of high quality craft breweries
3) Top quality beers - really, this should be most important!
4) Diversity; unique styles; sense of pride in their offerings
5) Supportive population of craft beer drinkers, as well as encouragement from the state government.
6) Brewing festivals and celebrations
Actually, that's not a bad little list there for a late evening's musing.
But again, whittling it down is no easy task, though a few jump to mind - California, Pennsylvania, New York, Oregon, Michigan, and if I could group most of New England together, that would be a good start. When generating this short list, however, I would have to consider adding the great Rocky Mountain state of Colorado to their great company. How does Colorado stack up? Lets go down the list:
1) Craft breweries per capita? Check - according to the Brewers Association, Colorado (along with most o the Northwest) has one of the highest number of craft brewers per capita - sitting in at number four overall, and with Beer Advocate listing a whopping 156 in the State.
2) Number of high quality craft breweries? Check again, with such giants in the industry as Odell, Great Divide, Oskar Blues, New Belgium, Breckenridge, and Avery, and more on the way.
3) Top quality beers - lots of classics here, a few of which we'll see today.
4) Diversity; unique styles; sense of pride in their offerings - a great mix of Belgian, American, German and fusion styles are common.
5) Supportive population of craft beer drinkers, as well as encouragement from the state government? - Again, consumption is quite high, among the highest in the country (Oregon is tops in this regard) both by volume and percentage of craft.
6) Brewing festivals and celebrations? Absolutely, with the biggest being the Great American Beer Festival held annually in Denver.
Clearly, Colorado is one of the giants of the craft beer world, and its products have received some excellent distribution recently. Indeed, despite being a true Western state, Colorado is well-represented in the liquor shelves of the East, especially in the Buffalo area, so I am fortunate to have the opportunity to snap up a few Colorado brews with each beer haul, including this most recent adventure. Let's have a look at a small sampling of brews from the Centennial State!
Beer: Titan IPA
Brewery: Great Divide Brewing Company (Denver)
Type: American IPA
Another IPA? Yes, yes, I realize that IPAs are pretty common around the Den. The ubiquitous nature of the IPA has become a common criticism of the American - and in some degree, Canadian - craft beer industry. It just is expected now that if you have a new craft brewery, the way you show yourself as being "new craft" is that you have a well-hopped American IPA as one of your major year-round brews. Indeed, you'd be hard-pressed to find an American craft brewery without at least one IPA, and most have at least several different styles, though many of them taste quite similar to one another. Why all the IPAs?
First of all, if you like hops as I and so many other craft brew enthusiasts do, you're always looking out for that next fix, and breweries are all too happy to oblige if the market wants it. To paraphrase the great Mugatu, IPAs are so hot right now. IPAs have become my standard style for everyday drinking, and so I never mind so much. Second, and this is just my opinion, is that IPAs have become a symbol of modern craft brewing, and the hoppier the better. IPAs have become the antithesis of the over-marketed, tasteless macro lager, and so people now seem to associate the IPA style with craft brewing - it is bold, flavorful and not for the faint-hearted; to go without a hoppy monster in your lineup seems to be quite against the norm. But if you don't like hops, or if you're sick of the everyday IPAs that line the shelves, it can seem like overkill, which is probably a fair point. But to offer a counter-point: craft brewing is, among other things, a local industry. Breweries are becoming representatives of their regions and usually attempt to show some connection to their community, its geography and its history. So if I want an IPA, why not have a local one? (though I seem to be bucking the local idea with this post about Colorado brews, I do regularly drink local IPAs, such as Smashbomb and Mad Tom, when I can). If IPAs aren't your thing, show support for your craft brewery's other efforts as well - vote with your dollar!
Back to the Titan! Great Divide is a brewery that has yet to do me wrong, and more often than not is leaps and bounds above my expectations. Some of you might remember a few months ago my rave review of their Espresso Oak-Aged Yeti, a variation of their standard Yeti Stout. They have an entire flight of Yeti variations, and the three I've sampled so far have been tremendous. So naturally I've been eager to give their other offerings a go.
Poured into a nonic glass. Light honey-caramel in colour, with a terrific head of sturdy foam that leaves some fantastic snowy lace down the sides of the glass. Spectacular.
Nose is very nice, though not at all what I expected - resin, citrus and floral hops, a musky grain and mild caramel. The musk gives this brew a raw, natural smell that reminds me of fresh bread.
Tastes at first of resin, pine hops, before that musky grain creeps in, which is accompanied with honey, caramel, cracker, bread and citrus. Finish is short and not overly bitter - at 7.1%, this brew is remarkably smooth and damn-near chuggable with a mild body and easy carbonation. Fantastic stuff.
Here I am going on about American IPAs and their similarity to one another, and I have here an example of the style that displays its one unique character, which sets it apart from its brothers. Very nice, easy drinking IPA that still packs a punch. (Grade: A)
Beer: Breckenridge Oatmeal Stout
Brewery: Breckenridge (Denver)
Type: Oatmeal Stout
Staying within the Denver area, we move now to Breckenridge Brewery, which is one of Colorado's first craft breweries, opening its doors in 1990. While it doesn't possess in its lineup one of those "it beers" that cause beer geeks to froth at the mouth and trade handsomely to get (such as Pliny the Elder, Abyss, Ruination or Bourbon County Stout), it does have a handsome list of brews from a variety of styles, and is a brewery I've been meaning to try for some time.
We'll start things off with their Oatmeal Stout, which has a label that reminds me at once of an Art Deco movie poster from the 1920s or something from Maurice Sendak. Appealing and creepy at the same time. As we've seen before, oatmeal stouts are stouts that have oatmeal added (go figure) in order to give the brew an extra sweetness and added smoothness to the mouthfeel.
Nose is coffee, a bit of cola, nuts, sweet malt - maybe a bit of lactose - and a mild roasted character.
Tastes just fine: not quite at the calibre of, say, Sam Smiths or St. Ambroise's take on the style, but still quite tasty. Incredibly easy to drink, very smooth. Initially quite sweet and malty, before a smoky, bitter finish takes over.
About the only downside to this brew is the mouthfeel, which is water-thin. It feels much more like a porter with extremely mild carbonation than that creamy, rich feel of St. Ambroise Oatmeal Stout. Still, an enjoyable brew. I can certainly see me knocking back a whole mess of these before the evening is done, but alas, I only have one. (Grade: B, B+)
Sticking with the Breckenridge, let's try another!
Beer: Vanilla Porter
Type: Porter
Vanilla is a flavor that is such a tricky one to work with, because there's always that risk of overdoing it, which might yield something more like Vanilla Coke than a beer. But it's a flavor I tend to like a great deal, so I was happy to give this one a go. I'm on a good streak so far, let's keep going with that nonic glass!
Nose is certainly vanilla, but it smells just slightly more pronounced than usual. It's unmistakably vanilla, but it wasn't overdone, which is a huge plus. Sweet malt, caramel, a touch of dry roasted grain.
I think this one was a fine effort, and the vanilla tastes just fine - it's not as if a shot of vanilla extract was dumped in my glass of dark ale. However, that is about all I can say about the Vanilla Porter. Is it tasty? Absolutely, and I'm sure it would be quite a popular brew, especially around dessert time. But other than vanilla, there isn't much here. Quite one-dimensional.
Carbonation is a bit high, but the brew is smooth and slightly creamy.
I give the edge to the Oatmeal Stout between the two Breckenridges, though I wouldn't be disappointed with this one in the fridge. (Grade: B)
Beer: Ten FIDY
Brewery: Oskar Blues (Longmont, north of Denver)
Type: Russian Imperial Stout
ABV: 10.5% (get it?)
Ten FIDY is one of those beers that has generated a lot of excitement, not just because it is a damned tasty stout (as we'll see in a minute), but that it is found exclusively in cans! Oskar Blues out of Longmont is a brewery whose meteoric rise in popularity has been attributed both to the quality of their brews and the fact that for financial and environmental reasons, their brews are found only in cans (or at least, if there are bottles of Oskar Blues out there, I have no idea where to find them!).
There has been a mini-revolution in can usage by microbreweries recently, with usage by breweries increasing dramatically - I say dramatically because it seems to go against everything we thought we knew about craft beer. For the longest time, canned beer was synonymous with macro lagers, like Bud or Blue. People always claimed that "you can taste the metal" and thus any brew of quality would be signing its own death warrant by being contained in such a vessel. But breweries like Oskar Blues and Alchemist (whose canned double IPA "Heady Topper" is currently in the top five at Beer Advocate as being one of the best beers in the world) have seen the cost and environmental benefit in making the switch, with other breweries like Surly, Cigar City and our own Wellington, Mill Street and Central City offering some, if not all of their regular brews in cans.
This ended up being my 700th review on Beer Advocate, which couldn't have been a better choice because this brew was bloody phenomenal. So good, in fact, that the brew was able to convince me that it deserved to be served in a classy tulip glass. I, under its trance, was only too happy to oblige.
Pours a viscous, inky black into my trusty Duvel tulip, and produces a dark tan head of about an inch that settles into a fine ring.
Amazing nose for a canned stout. Hell, this is an amazing nose for any stout, period. Sweet and mildly boozy, with caramel, toasted malt, coffee, chocolate syrup, and a hint of smoke. Just smelling this brew is a treat.
Ten FIDY is an intense, delicious stout that displays remarkable balance between its sweet and bitter elements, yielding an immensely satisfying flavor. It begins sweet, with caramel, chocolate liqueur and coffee, before transitioning to a drier, roastier finish with smoke, mild citrus hops, toasted bread and sugar. First rate stuff. Smooth and silky, light but sufficient carbonation.
If I could have this brew available in my fridge at all time, I would be a very happy man indeed. Balanced, flavorful, and incredibly flavorful. I seriously regret only buying one of these...(Grade: A)
A small sampling of Colorado brews for your consideration, and given the number of breweries from the state, there's loads more to try, including my wife's favorite brew (or at least, one of her favorites), Oskar Blues' Dale's Pale Ale, or perhaps something more demonic from Avery - Mephistopheles Imperial Stout. There's many a Yeti variety out there, as well as some more Belgian fare from the aptly named New Belgium. Lots of good brews from out west to be had!
Now, if at any point the good brewers of Colorado feel that my treatment of Colorado brews has warranted some free beer my way, please do not hesitate to do so! There's always room in my cellar!

Nuke Lab Worker Burned in Incident
Friday, May 8, 2015 @ 11:05 AM gHale
A Los Alamos National Laboratory worker remains in critical condition after suffering burns in an accident that also sent eight other workers at the nuclear weapons research facility to the hospital.
The accident happened Sunday while the employees were doing preventative maintenance at an electrical substation that provides power to the lab's Neutron Science Center, said Lab spokesman Kevin Roark.
Searching for Cause of Huge GE Fire
Pump Failure Leads to Geismer Plant Fire
3 Hurt in WY Chemical Plant Fire
Three Hurt in Cement Plant Blast
It was not immediately clear what happened, but Roark said an accident investigation board will review the incident. He did not identify the name of the badly burned worker.
Lab Director Charlie McMillian said the worker's family had the support and sympathy of the entire workforce at the lab.
"Nothing is more important at this time than his well-being," McMillian said.
Nine workers went to the Los Alamos Medical Center and seven ended up treated and released the same day, said medical center spokeswoman Mary Beth Maasan.
One patient went to the burn unit at University of New Mexico Hospital and another ended up admitted to the Los Alamos Medical Center in stable condition, she said.
A memo sent to lab employees stated that portions of the Neutron Science Center are without power and employees should work at home or contact their supervisors regarding their plans.
Built in the late 1960s, the Neutron Science Center contains a linear accelerator used for everything from national security-related projects to health and materials science.
The center ended up cited in several federal safety audits, including for a 2012 incident in which a worker unknowingly opened a canister containing uncontrolled radioactive material.
Operations there ended up shut down in early 1999 after a series of safety accidents.
Roark said the electrical substation where Sunday's accident happened is adjacent to the center and the accelerator facility was not a part of the incident.
