Bang for the buck
Had to dock some stars here for the in-state tuition. OHSU has been the most expensive public medical school in the country in recent years, and it's probably still in the top three. But OHSU has been innovative with its curriculum and is always improving to stay at the forefront, so I couldn't complain too much. Medical school is simply going to be expensive in this country.
Am enjoying being here
Hard work, but a pleasure to be here. My classmates are wonderful and the instruction is top notch. I look forward to spending more time with the nursing, physician assistant, and dental students as the curriculum evolves.
Am learning a lot
I am learning an amazing amount every single day.

O'Malley rolls out offshore wind proposal
Governor says bill is more likely to pass this year than last
Gov. Martin O'Malley is proposing a measure to help develop offshore wind that is very similar to a bill that fell short last year, but this time he's finding a more favorable climate in the Maryland General Assembly.
O'Malley, a Democrat, outlined details in the proposal on Tuesday, saying a project of this magnitude will need to involve partners in other states or the federal government to get offshore wind started.
"No doubt in order to accomplish this, Maryland will have to partner with others. Hopefully, perhaps, Delaware and Virginia. Hopefully, our federal government," O'Malley said.
The governor declared that his wind-energy bill now has enough votes in both the House and Senate for passage, but he concedes that building wind turbines 10 miles off the coast of Ocean City may only become reality if Maryland finds business partners.
A similar bill passed the House of Delegates last year, but stalled in the Senate. The Senate already has 24 co-sponsors this year in a chamber that needs 24 votes to pass a measure.
The governor's legislation puts strict cost controls in place: ratepayers would be charged $1.50 or less per month for the next 20 years to subsidize the wind farm. But because wind farms take several years to develop, that charge isn't expected to show up on bills until 2017.
"The $1.50 per month for the average residential ratepayer is based on 1,000 kilowatt hours a month," said Abby Hopper, acting director of the Maryland Energy Administration.
Supporters said they believe passage this year is critical, saying it would allow Maryland to take control of its energy future and establish a foothold in a new industry.
Construction and maintenance of a wind farm would create 850 manufacturing jobs alone.
"This is a piece of legislation that is very, very important, and I think it just sets Maryland well-positioned to really create the jobs," said Charles County Sen. Mac Middleton, R-District 28, chairman of the Senate Finance Committee.
Industry experts said Hurricane Sandy proved that wind turbines, like the ones off the New Jersey coast, can survive big storms and with little disruption of service.
"It's a testament to the remarkable strength of these machines that will be put out into the ocean," said Bob Mitchell, CEO and founder of the Atlantic Wind Connection.
"In addition, it could power half the homes on the Eastern Shore, and one-third of the homes in Baltimore City," said Robert Wallace, a wind-energy entrepreneur.
The governor's bill makes developers assume all the risks -- not rate payers -- which includes bankruptcy, weather events or equipment breakdowns.

Five Alumni to Receive Achievement Awards at Viking Days
Five Augustana alumni will be honored for outstanding contributions to their fields of endeavor and for exemplifying the College's values, including Christian faith, excellence, the liberal arts, community and service during Viking Days in October.
The College will recognize the following individuals with Alumni Achievement Awards during the Blue and Gold Gala, set for 6 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 15:
- Retired Supreme Court Justice Robert Amundson '61
Amundson, class of 1961, is recognized for his lifetime of service to the citizens of South Dakota as a lawyer and judge. A business administration major, he graduated from the University of South Dakota Law School in 1965. After practicing law in the Black Hills area, Amundson was appointed by Gov. George Mickelson to become the 21st Circuit Court Judge in the Second Judicial Circuit in 1987. He served in this position until 1991, when Mickelson appointed him to the Supreme Court of the State of South Dakota. Amundson retired from this position in 2002.
"As an institution, Augustana has succeeded in graduating students with not just a high level of education, but a deep understanding of Christian values and the need to serve others. Augustana is a place that rewards honesty, loyalty and integrity. I can think of few people who embody the vision and mission of Augustana as completely and thoroughly as Robert Amundson. He is most deserving of your prestigious honor," said Dave Munson, former mayor of Sioux Falls.
- Paul Harmel '72
Harmel, class of 1972, is recognized for his leadership and vision as the chairman and CEO of Lifetouch Inc. An accounting and business administration major at Augustana, Harmel also played both basketball and baseball for the Vikings. In the late 1970s, he joined National School Studios, now known as Lifetouch. Throughout his career at Lifetouch he held a series of executive management positions until being named CEO in 1997 and Chairman of the Board in 2002. Under his leadership, employee-owned Lifetouch has grown to over $1 billion in annual sales and has become the market leader in professional photography.
"Paul Harmel was present when the founder of Lifetouch transferred ownership to the employees in the form of an Employee Stock Ownership Trust. His due diligence has made that Lifetouch ESOT one of the largest and oldest programs in the country, providing retirement benefits beyond imagination for thousands of Lifetouch retirees. His leadership has brought honor to our company and the admiration of countless employees. Paul is incredibly worthy of this award," said Kelvin W. Miller, Lifetouch Inc.
- Jayne Meyer '74
Meyer, a nursing major from the class of 1974, has described herself as an "impassioned nurse" who is dedicated to the health profession. She got her start as a critical care nurse in Dallas, Texas, then moved on to solid organ transplant as a transplant coordinator. She later explored the field of biotechnology. Currently, Meyer serves as a senior clinical trial associate for clinical affairs at Dendreon Corporation where she works in the biotechnology research field and has been a part of a team involved with the investigation of a vaccine for the treatment of prostate cancer.
"Augustana's influence has shaped Jayne's professional life and her accomplishments. As a clinical nurse, her compassion, caring spirit and gentle hands touched the lives of many transplant recipients. In her research position, her leadership skills are focused to maintain the integrity of the research protocol while protecting those who are participants in the trial. Through her membership in professional organizations, she has shared her knowledge with colleagues and she encourages them to achieve beyond what they imagine possible. Jayne exemplifies the Augustana spirit. She has taken this foundation and built upon it. She inspires others to join her. She is a Viking forever," said Diane Miller Johnson, an Augustana classmate of Meyer.
- Dr. Jim Reynolds '65
Reynolds, class of 1965, is recognized for his contribution to and impact on the development of Sioux Falls as a significant regional medical center. A chemistry major at Augustana, Reynolds went on to study medicine at the University of South Dakota and Johns Hopkins University. In 1981, he became a founding member of the North Central Heart Institute in Sioux Falls. In 2000, Reynolds was the driving force to start The Heart Hospital. Now known as the Avera Heart Hospital of South Dakota, this world class heart program was recognized as one of the Top 50 Cardiovascular Hospitals in the United States in 2011. Now retired, Reynolds performed more than 4,500 open heart procedures in his career.
"In traveling with Jim both professionally and personally in South Dakota and surrounding areas, Jim does not go anyplace without someone stopping and telling him, 'you saved my son's life', 'you saved my husband's life', 'you saved my grandfather's life', or 'you operated on me'. Very few people in this world have created this type of living legacy," said Jon C. Soderholm, president for Avera Heart Hospital of South Dakota.
At the Blue and Gold Gala, Dr. John Berdahl will receive the Augustana Horizon Award, an honor recognizing the rising career of a young alumni (less than 15 years after graduation).
Berdahl, class of '99, is an ophthalmologist at Vance Thompson Vision in Sioux Falls. He earned his MD, graduating with honors, from Mayo Medical School in Rochester, Minn., and finished his internship at the Mayo Clinic in Scottsdale, Ariz. He completed ophthalmology residency at Duke University where his published work, research, teaching and care of patients brought him many honors including best resident and national recognition as first place winner of the Resident Writers Award. Berdahl pursued additional advanced surgical training at Minnesota Eye Consultants. As a fellow, he received the Claes Dohlman Award from Harvard University, given to the top cornea fellow in the country. His commitment to those in need is demonstrated by his leadership role in EyeCare America (which provides free eye care to the underserved) and the numerous surgical mission trips he continues to participate in worldwide.
Featuring Dr.John Berdahl '99, ophthalmologist for Vance Thompson Vision
- 11:30 a.m. Friday, Oct. 14, at CJ Callaway's Event Center

"In some ways the most important thing I would like to say about John is not about his academic achievements, but his outstanding character. John is simply one of the best persons you will ever meet. He is an outstanding scholar and person," said Dr. Karel Vander Lugt, emeriti professor of physics.

I received my Model S today and I am very happy with the car. I have driven it home (see delivery story) and parked it. I will take it out for its safety inspection tomorrow. I am happy with the car itself.
Now the delivery process has some issues I want to discuss and bring to light.
I was out of town the first week of my delivery window so my car was sent from the plant 2/4 so delivery would take 5-7 days and would be after I returned on 2/8. I was told to expect a call 24-48 hours prior to delivery from the driver.
I finally did get a call from the driver (Bill from St. Louis) 2/11 at 5pm telling me that my car was going to be delivered the next day. He did not know when but thought it was going to be after 12pm. I asked if I could take delivery the following day as my schedule was more flexible then and he told me that would cost me extra money (makes sense as he has to wait and could be getting other loads to deliver). He was to call me on my cell in the morning to finalize place and time.
I had a packed day at work and tried to open up my afternoon to allow some time to take delivery the next day.
I did not get a call from the driver in the am but the shipping company manager (Vince) called my home (not the number I had given the driver to call) and spoke with my wife to try to help coordinate delivery. I called him and got an earful of some of the problems from in delivering these cars his perspective. He said that he is spending too much time on the phone arranging these deliveries and pointed to areas of improvement (see below).
My driver called me at 1pm telling me that he was advised (? by whom) that he could not make the delivery near my office or home and that it would be best if I came to him. He made his last delivery near a highway close to an industrial area and said that I could come there and get the car.
I agreed to this, left my office, and got my car and am happy overall with everything.
Here are some of the things for Tesla and customers to consider, IMHO
1. Communication from Tesla to both consumer and shipping company is minimal. Shipping companies get a name, address and a single telephone number. They could use more contact info like preferred contact method, etc. to help them communicate with the buyer. We could use name of shipping company and where the car is and a better expectation of the actual hand-off. I still have not heard from my delivery specialist or gotten her contact info (although I had asked for this).
2. Tesla is using some new shipping arrangements where Tesla ships to hubs, then these shipping companies are picking up the cars for local delivery from the hubs. Vince told me he had problems where his driver goes to pick up cars from a hub only to find out after a while that some of the cars where already picked up by the buyer wasting his driver's time. I would have liked to have known if I could have gone to a hub to get my car and bypass the final part of the current delivery process.
3. Buyers (like myself) are not used to dealing with shipping companies and their needs. Houston has told this company they are not allowed to make deliveries on the local streets as this can block traffic. Not sure how true that is but this is what the driver said. I also think that I could have taken delivery at one of the locations I had in mind near my office or home, but this was nixed by the driver. I think that this should have this scoped out a little better than making on-the-fly decisions.
4. Also, us working folks may find it difficult to cancel appointments / shut down offices (even for as little as 45 minutes as mine took) while we take care of accepting the car. Having a little flexibility in when we receive delivery would be helpful.
5. Also, I was expecting to take delivery near my home or office and instead I had to drive a few miles to pick it up. My wife was furious that I agreed to this insisting that I paid for personalized delivery and I should receive it. Not a huge deal to me but something to think about.
I still have only driven the car from pickup to my house. Will play a little more with it tomorrow. Overall great car. Purchase and delivery procedures have some work to go.

So I'm finally back on a schedule. I must admit, I am not happy with my body. I have put on a few pounds recently and I can't tell if it's a switch of medication, me not being diligent in working out, or my bad eating habits. We'll I'm currently going on week 4 of eating much better and though I haven't drank soda for the past four weeks and haven't had any fast food (SOB) I have yet to see anything change. That means it's time to kick it up a notch. I am in charge of what I put into my body and what I do with my workouts and I just have to make it a priority to see results. If you aren't happy with yourself, guess who is to blame. WHALA! Danica needs to get her sh!t together! So therefore the 40 day challenge was dreamed up.
Tara and I have started the 40 day challenge together, where we both run at least 3 miles for forty days straight. Currently, I'm on day 3 of the challenge and though it hasn't been too much of a challenge yet, I know that just getting in the miles with a no excuses attitude is going to help me tremendously long term. I always have a tendency to get bored and give up easily. I don't know why I do this but I know having someone to keep me accountable and a challenge to take on will help me push towards the end. I also recently got a deal for a local yoga studio, which I went to my first class last night and it was hard in a great way! A few girls I know got the same deal and we are all excited to take classes together. It's ALL about accountability for me. I can easily let myself down but I know better than to not show up when I know friends will be there.
Lately my bathroom has been looking like this:
Running shoes and dirty clothes littering the floor and I'm feeling good about it! Tomorrow I'll recap my first yoga experience which was wonderful yet scary and started off with my friend and I being reprimanded for talking by another classmate.
So here's my stats, and yes I don't care much about my weight being online. Right now I am currently at about 156 pounds and I know my happy weight is about 140-145. I know it's just a number but I also know that right now I'm not happy with the way I look and I am the only one who can change that. If i get to 150 and feel great, that doesn't mean that the challenge ends and I stop working out. It means I'm at a good weight and I feel great. I hope this challenge leads to a much more active lifestyle and through different classes and fitness techniques I hope I learn more about being healthy. I have already learned so much about cooking and eating and I'm always on the hunt to find better snacks and implement them into my diet.
So forty day challenge progress thus far:
Day 1 – Ran 3 miles. PAINFUL because of the pulled hamstring. Gym for 45 minutes doing abs and arms.
Day 2- 70 minute blue 2.0 yoga class at Purple Yoga. Ran 3 miles, hamstring starting to feel better.
Day 3- Ran 1 mile to gym. Ran 1 mile on treadmill. Gym work for 30 minutes doing abs and arms. Ran 1 mile home. Hamstrings are feeling better and I'm shockingly not DYINGLY sore from yoga yesterday.
This challenge paired with my much better eating habits should have awesome results… fingers crossed!

Defendant's mother apologizes to Chew family at sentencing
Twenty-year-old Tyree Bundy chose to remain silent Wednesday as he was sentenced to eight years in prison for his role in the murder of Matthew Chew, but his mother, moved by a slide show display of Chew's life, issued a spontaneous apology to the victim's mom.
Elga David had not planned to speak at the sentencing hearing in New London Superior Court. She broke down during the airing of a video display of photos spanning the victim's 25 years and decided at the last moment that she had something to say.
Judge Susan B. Handy allowed David to step into the well of the courtroom and stand near the desk where her son, a tall young man in a neon orange prison jumpsuit and leg irons, sat during the sentencing.
David turned her head toward Marilyn Chew in the front row of the gallery and delivered a brief statement.
"I do want to apologize, from one mother to another," Elga David said. "I can't imagine what it's like. I can't even handle this (her son's sentencing)."
David said she had not raised her son "this way," but that she could not control him.
"This was not his intention to take a life," she said. "I'm so sorry."
Bundy was sentenced on the third day of a weeklong marathon of hearings that will bring an end to court proceedings in the Chew case. Six local teenagers had randomly targeted Chew, a pizza cook and artist, for a "beat down" on Oct. 29, 2010, according to prosecutor Stephen M. Carney.
The teens surrounded Chew, who had just finished his shift at 2 Wives Brick Oven Pizza and was walking down Huntington Street toward his Washington Street apartment. As the beating continued, Idris Elahi took out a knife and stabbed Chew.
At an earlier court hearing, Bundy testified that the teens were hanging out at Elahi's house on Home Street when something on television made them want to "go out and do something," according to Carney.
The group decided to jump a random victim, then Rahshad Perry dared Elahi to stab somebody. The two "dapped it up," or sealed the dare with the secret hand gesture of their group, "The Goon Squad." Bundy and Rabell had testified they tried to "break up the dap," because they didn't want the attack to escalate to that level.
The prosecutor said there was no evidence that Bundy actually laid hands on Chew during the beating. The evidence does indicate that Bundy "engaged in the hunt," and that he and his cousin, Rahshad Perry, stood in the street laughing while the four others participated in the attack, according to Carney.
Elahi pleaded guilty to murder and was sentenced last year to 35 years in prison. The other five defendants pleaded guilty to first-degree manslaughter and are being sentenced this week in New London Superior Court.
Bundy, Rabell and Marquis Singleton, who cooperated in the investigation, are receiving eight-year prison sentences. Rahshad Perry and Matias Perry, who are not related, did not cooperate and are receiving 15-year prison sentences.
"This defendant cooperated with the state, and it was a very difficult thing for him to do, and I think we should acknowledge this," Carney said of Bundy.
At each of this week's hearings, Marilyn and Rick Chew have asked court officials to display the photo montage of their son's life so that the defendants could see that "he wasn't just a random person." The parents have delivered impact statements containing much of the same content but tailored to each individual defendant. They describe a "new normal" that involves intrusive thoughts of their son's violent death, sleepless nights and missing him at family gatherings and holidays.
"Matthew's friends and family have received a life sentence," said Rick Chew.
Chew, who reportedly asked, "Why is this happening?" during the attack, was able to tell a person who found him in the street that he had been jumped before he lost consciousness. He died several hours later at Yale-New Haven Hospital.
Marilyn Chew said she takes comfort knowing her son became unconscious with the knowledge that help was on its way and that he was not alone.
Addressing the judge for the first time Wednesday, Chew's sister, Melinda "Mindy" Fowler, described the crime's impact on her children, who she said continually asked when Uncle Matt would be coming back.
Two months after his death, when asked at school to write down her Christmas wish, her daughter wished "that her mother could be happy again," Fowler said.
Then, Fowler said, "My son asked if we could have his birthday in heaven so Uncle Matt could be there."
She said Bundy had participated in the slaughter of her brother and that no mother should ever have to tell her children about such an evil act.
Judge Handy thanked the Chew family and addressed Bundy's mother before she imposed the sentence.
"I recognize this repetition of your words and thoughts gets more difficult as we go on day after day, and I apologize for that," she told the Chews.
The judge told Bundy's mom that as a mother herself, she had appreciated her comments.
"We hold out such hope for our children," Handy said. "We want them to be happy. We want them to be healthy. That's what parents do."
Bundy had no criminal record and was on track to graduate from New London High School prior to his arrest. Handy told him, as she has told the others, that she doesn't understand the "pack mentality" that led them to beat down a stranger and leave him in the street to die.
"You were a follower," she said. "That doesn't make you a man. Walking away, doing the right thing, that makes you a man."
The judge told Bundy he owes it to Matthew Chew and his family to "do better."
Bundy, who hung his head throughout much of the hearing, opted not to speak. His attorney, Sebastian DeSantis, said Bundy, who was 17 when the crime occurred, has shown "remorse and insight."
"Mr. Bundy did ask me to apologize to (Chew's) family for his actions," DeSantis said.

New College Nottingham students gain valuable medical experience in India
Twelve students from New College Nottingham travelled to Madurai, India with Projects Abroad to spend two weeks volunteering on a medical project. As part of their health studies course, the students chose Medicine in India with the aim of gaining the medical experience that is difficult to get in the UK.
The students raised over £2,000 each to pay for the trip. To do this they arranged a number of activities to raise money including a bake sale, a raffle where they raffled off a Projects Abroad inspired cake, as well as bag packing in a supermarket. They also had support from firms such as the local Indian restaurant called "4,550 Miles Away From Delhi".
The Head of Nottingham's science, technology, engineering and maths academy, Caroline Houldsworth, came up with the idea of the students going overseas to gain experience in the medical field, "It was a terrific experience for the students to be able to witness what they did. There are different laws out there in India, which meant they could get much closer to things such as watching babies being delivered by caesarean section."
Working in the hospital was both interesting and emotional for the students, as they were exposed to a completely different culture. One student, Sarah Morton, described seeing a mother turn away her new born baby because it was a girl, "That was upsetting to see. That is an example of how cultures can be totally different. That particular culture wants their first child to be a boy."
With most of the students wanting to enter the healthcare profession after school, this experience gave them a taste of the world they are planning to work in, "It is really helpful to get to know and experience these cultures. That kind of experience can be useful in the future," said Sarah.
"It was an amazing trip. There were so many highlights, such as when we visited the hospital cancer ward and we managed to make a little girl laugh with our drawings, even though she couldn't speak English," said Abigail Walker, who is now more determined than ever to become a midwife.
Due to the success of the volunteering journey, Caroline Houldsworth said she hoped that the trip can become a regular part of the academy's agenda.

This MAGIC ELF CHRISTMAS PARTY was submitted by Maureen Anders of Anders Ruff. WHAT a cute party! I just love all the special elf touches! The little elf on the shelf is just darling, too! So many Christmas decorating ideas here…including darling ways to wrap gifts!
Items used in this party available in Kara's Party Ideas Shop:
Here is what Maureen had to say about planning the party-
"The magic of the magical Christmas Elf is a tradition that my family has enjoyed for years. After all, how can Santa possibly watch over all little boys and girls? Our sweet little Japanese knee hugger elves are so precious and this year our holiday party was themed around their magic.
Adria and I always listen to Christmas music when we are designing no matter what time of year. Can you tell that Christmas is our favorite holiday to design and style for? Our fabulous friend and client, Audrey, of Sweet Cheeks Tasty Treats brought us the i dea of focusing on the Magical Elf tradition and we loved it. This year we wanted to design and style a Magic Elf Christmas Party and incorporate lots of printables that people can enjoy and add to their traditions with their own Magic elves every year.
The party boasts the traditional red and green colors with added pops of aqua and light blue. The printables include classic patterns such as candy cane stripe with mixes of trendy chevron, ditzy dot and snow flake patterns.
We setup the party at the corner base of Adrias stairwell which gave us a lot of flexibility with hanging decorations as well as the wall space. Also, stairwells always remind me of Christmas morning as we waited to be called down to see what Santa had brought us! Especially once we hung the garland and custom elf feet shaped stockings (from Aimee Broussard) to the railing.
When thinking of what elements and textures to tie into the styling, we immediately knew we had to use yarn to keep with the feel of those cute little elves and keep the decor playful and whimsical. We utilized the yarn thoughout the decor on the tree (yarn pom ornaments) as well as the Christmas gift packaging and Sugarbelle cookie displays (using the popular and so functional Blumeboxes!).
We thought of a craft that would help make our printable Christmas Posters (the set of 3 printable posters are available in the shop) really pop off the walls. We cut custom frames out of foam core board and wrapped them with yarn. This was a super simple (just a little time consuming) craft and one that was economical and made a big impact. We cut felt holly leaves and placed those as an embellishment on one of the frames with yarn pom berries.
Because elves are sometimes mischievous, we got a little crazy with the fun yarn pom string and dangled it around the tree and hung from the frames and doors. Little knee hugger elves were found all over the party to tie the theme back into the decor. They can be seen stuck in the gorgeous custom stockings (from Aimee Broussard Events), in the tree, on the frames, hanging from the yarn garland and tucked in the drawers.
When thinking of little elf treats, we decided to reuse an old pop bottle crate as a display for little treats. We spray painted it a bright blue to add a pop of color on the display. We filled it with green rock candy, red licorice, little containers of naughty and nice treats, lollipops, meringue elf hats (which we made!) and little printable notes to Santa. We placed some plastic (kid-friendly!) drink bottles from Smash Cake Studio filled with milk on top of the display with a printable wrapper and straw.
Keeping with the elf tradition, we wanted to show naughty and nice treats. We packaged red and white Sixlets in clear containers (from Nashville Wraps) and put our printable Nice label. We packaged black gumballs in the other clear containers and added the printable Naughty labels on those. These were placed around the table and on the cola bottle crate.
We also reused old card catalog drawers as displays for naughty and nice treats and labeled them with the appropriate printable party logos. The naughty treats included black rock candy, black licorice wheels, black gumballs and homemade coal (flatted marshmallows dipped in black chocolate and sprinkles). The nice treats included red and green ribbon candy, lollipops, gumballs and candy canes.
On top of those drawers, we put a drawer on its side and lined it with patterned paper. We then made green Meringue Christmas Tree treats and placed them on baking cups (from Smash Cake Studio) that we trimmed and put upside down to add height. We also wrapped an old $1 store mailbox with red yarn and used it as Santas Magic Mailbox display where the kids could put notes to Santa which were printables from the collection.
The Christmas tree was decorated with various sized yarn pom ornaments. We had the kids help us make these in the colors from the printables. We also strung the white yarn pom string around the tree as garland.
Last year we featured our printable North Pole mitten advent calendar idea and this year we introduced a new idea for an Advent Calendar printable Advent Calendar Hangtags that fold closed and can be used for ornaments (write activities for your family to do each day of advent! Arden enjoyed opening the one that said eat pancakes for dinner!) Get creative and come up with 25 fun activites to do with family. Another use for the Advent Calendar Hangtags could be to wrap small gifts and place them hidden around the house or tree each day of advent they can open the appropriate gift. This year I am doing 25 new books to help add to our library!
We also wrap ped several gifts for under the tree with yarn. We added our printable tags from the magical elf collection. The collection includes insepcted by elf # tags as well as cute santa tags and elf tags. We think the elf tags would be so much fun to use every year.
Another craft was the yarn and patterned paper Christmas Trees. Those were so fun to make and we layered yarn and scraps of our patterned paper to make adorable tree decorations.
Cookies for Santa were left on a plate and a diy cake stand (wood plaque + candle stick base) with a little printable note. How amazing are the Elf cookies by Sugarbelle!?
Adrias holiday card was hung on the tree, too. We designed our signature holiday photo hangtag Christmas card to match the elf theme. We trimmed and punched a hole and added The Twinery twine to the tag and hung as part of the decor on the tree.
The kids came to the party wearing a dress and a tie from B. Bell e Couture. Arden was wearing a precious snowflake hair accessory from Drop of Honey Bowtique. Later, the kids got cozy in custom pajamas by Great Stitch that featured embroidery based on designs from our Magical Elf printables. They loved them! I especially love finding unique and special pajamas for my kids to wear on Christmas eve and these were perfect!
We enlisted help from a few fabulous bakers. Got What It Cakes made festive snow cone mini cupcakes (that we displayed in printable party cones out of the dresser drawer). Sweet Cheeks Tasty Treats made whimsical cake pops that were stuck on paper straws, which were perfectly displayed next to a magical elf in the other dresser drawer.
The amazingly talented Sugarbellemade gorgeous elf and christmas gift sugar cookies. We displayed those gift sugar cookie pops out of fun Blumeboxes that we wrapped with pom yarn garland. We also displayed reindeer chocolate pops from Nicoles Treats o ut of the Blumeboxes. They looked so precious and festive and were an unexpected way to show the treats.
Favor boxes were shown with green candies and a white chocolate reindeer pop from Nicoles Treats and tagged up with a cute printable.
The desserts we made included the Elf Hat Meringues and the Christmas Tree Meringues. Those were so simple to make and the kids loved them! They added to the fun decor as well.
The printable Magic Elf Christmas party invitation, banner, posters, tags and Coordinating Printable Collection are available in the shop here. We also offer our signature Hangtag Style Christmas Photo Card to match!"

Beat the Streak Report: Wednesday, April 20
Can we get a sad trombone?
That pretty much sums up yesterday's results, as seven of your top eight selections either rode the 0-fer train back to Zero Town or took a pass due to inclement weather conditions.
Robinson Cano was the lone beacon of light amidst the cruel, hitless darkness, eking out a 1-for-5 against Kyle Drabek and the Blue Jays to save 3.1 percent of your hopes and dreams.
More than 10 percent of all Streakers put their eggs into Joey Votto's seemingly well-padded basket, only to watch the Reds slugger remove said eggs, crack them into a pan with a pinch of salt and a dollop sour cream and then enjoy himself a heaping helping of scrambled streaks.
Wait, did we just give away the secret ingredient to the creamiest, fluffiest scrambled streaks you'll ever eat? Eh, you'll never figure out exactly how much a dollop is anyway.

Mind wandering… A palindrome is a word that is read the same way forward or backward, i.e., radar, madam, racecar. dollop spelled in lower case is read the same way if it is rotated 180 degrees. Wonder if there is a term for such a category of words.
There should be–invertidrome?
Robot arm to throw 1st pitch in Phillies game today 🙂 Google for PhillieBot
0-5 followed by an 0-1. Brutal! Don't know why Carlos Ruiz was pulled but he is back in the lineup today. Ibanez is resting today, btw.
Anyway, trying to start again with Martin Prado. GL all!
Tulo disappointed me last night. Was hitting Sanchez before last night but that is what happens. Hoping to start again today myself.
Ichiro for W6. He is by far the best pick today.
Ichiro can't hit during the day this year so he isn't the best pick for today by a long shot.
Wow, I can't believe Ryan Brain is not in the top 15. I know he is facing Cliff Lee but he has been hotter then anyone this year. I should have gone with him as he singled in his first at bat. He is hitting extremely well right now.
Braun just got a hit, as did Prince, who has good career numbers against Lee. Both were tempting picks but it being Cliff Lee I decided to stay away.
Braun was picked by only 24 people from the Top2500. I think Cliff pitching was what scared ppl off.
I'm with you Dave. I had Braun last week but when I saw it was Lee I had to change him.
@Dave, I had Braun before I knew who was pitching last week but than I decided to change when I saw it was Lee pitching today.

Update from last night's posts Brian McCann went 2 for 3 and Jacoby Ellsbury had a pinch hit O fer. In all 3 of the 5 (Vladimir Guerrero, Ben Zobrist and McCann hit safely getting 2 hits apiece. A new era indeed is upon us x3 or better yet x6.
Votto had back-to-back-to-back 0-fers just twice last season, so that is probably a safe pick (alhtough one of those streaks came in April).
I went with Votto for a couple reasons: odds of playing in his home field: high, hitting ability: high, opposing pitcher quality: low, my streak: 1
Pujols picked well today in the doubleheader. Let's hope that comes back and bites some streakers.
The Nationals/Cardinals and Padres/Cubs have double headers.
I see that Albert Pujols is among the top 15 despite playing in a double header. He just homered in the 3rd so he is good for Game 1. Colby Rasmus has been choses by a 17 game streak and Matt Holliday has been spotted as high as 13. Holliday is good for game 1 as well, but Rasmus is 0 for 2.
Lance Berkman has been picked as high as 15, Ryan Theriot at 12 and Albert Pujols highest selection is 13. Theriot has 2 hits in the 1st game while Berkman is still O fer.
I don't see any Nationals, Padres or Cubs taken though.
Rasmus and Berkman have each gotten a hit so all 5 Cardinals picks are alive going into Game 2.
And Ichiro, Miggy, Polanco each hit. Yesterday had high resets, today may be rather low. We'll see…
Ichiro and Miggy have both gotten hits now. And just about everyone playingin STL/WASH has hits in first game. Same can't be said about Cubs/Pads. Can Votto come through or will he disappoint again?
Hmmm, 2nd place leader picked Wright for tonite. Zero for last 16 official ABs. Either he knows something or is making a big mistake.
And wright continues his crap batting going 0-3 with 2bb. Another leader bites the dust.
If I were going to pick Wright it may be tomorrow's game. Wright hits very well against lefties and tomorrow's lefty isn't that good. But Wright is also taking a lot of walks lately too. I'll wait for him to start a steak of his own before I assume too much risk on him
So the hosts of Intentional Talk on MLB Network are making BTS picks. Both are at zero (sound familiar?) with Kevin Millar picking Adam Jones and Chris Rose going with R. Cano. Given their records it is probably just as well that picks already have locked.
I'm up to 6 with my pick of Prince Fielder. Woohoooo!
A-Rod pickers starting to feel a bit queezy. 3 ABs, 2 BB, 1 Sac Fly. BTS-wise that's 0-1.
Vottos good for all you pickers.
Up to 6 with Ichiro singling for me. Thinking of Michael Brantley of the Indians tomorrow to get me to 7. He's been on fire lately and bats lead-off, should get 5 PA's.
FYI: Careful with Brantley. He's sharing time with Sizemore now I believe
That is correct. And the reason Brantley is hitting 7th.
Haha, right after I wrote that I looked up the game tonight and he is batting 7th. Not sure why, as he was 3-5 last night in the lead-off spot. Still thinking of going with him though.
As hot as he may be, I couldn't pick him. I'm going with someone that probably few would pick, but he's been on fire lately.
Cedeno? 🙂
Nope, Jose Reyes. 🙂
Reyes 4-5 tonight. Might let you down tomorrow but best of luck with him.
But he's just been absolutely killing the ball. I may change it, but I doubt it.
Jeter is 0 for 4 with 1 more trip to the plate coming.
Jeter O fer 5 My first back to back O fers of the season.
Rasmus and Berkman pickers are safe in the double dip.
Holliday pickers are safe too, Theriot and Pujols are still O fer.
Well Jeter and A-Rod just said F U to streakworld. pending a jays rally it's not looking good if you have either of them.
Two outs in bottom of 9th with bases loaded and a grand salami will tie the game. Hmmm
And if STL keeps the lead, Pujols' last AB comes next inning; currently 0-fer.
And with that double by Either, all 4 of our top2500 bloggers move on to tomorrow.
Also, Pujols just flied out in bottom of 7th. Stl up 5-3.
FYI. Early lock tomorrow with ARI/CIN starting at 1235 eastern.
Hamilton is now in the line ups — that's STL Mark Hamilton 😉
Theriot: 0-5
And Pujols finishes second game 0-3.
2nd inning infield single by Kemp starts me going again at 1!
I am not a fan of picking from a double header because there a 2 chances to be O fered and if the selected player gets hits in both games the reward is the same as getting a hit in a non doubleheader, your streak increases by 1. However I would much rather pick a player in a double header (accidentally or on purpose) that gets hits in both games then an O fer in a single game. For example 3 of the 5 Cardinals picked got hits in both games while my pick (Jeter) went O fer in his one game. With that being said I just discovered that my ranking is the putrid 10000+.

WILSONVILLE, Ore. — (BUSINESS WIRE) — April 25, 2012 — Mentor Graphics Corp. (NASDAQ: MENT), a leader in high-performance system verification solutions, today announced the availability of the Veloce®2 platform, the next-generation of emulation solutions for the verification of electronic system and Systems on Chip (SoC) designs. Built to accommodate up to two billion gate designs, the Veloce2 platform delivers twice the performance, twice the capacity and four times productivity gain in the same footprint and power consumption as the first-generation Veloce platform. In addition, a new concept called Veloce VirtuaLAB gives verification engineers access to easy-to-use, software-based peripherals, connected to the Veloce platform, which provide a "virtual lab" environment to verify complex electronics systems including the embedded software and the SoCs that make up the system prior to first silicon availability.
Veloce2 is built upon the totally new, full custom emulation IC, Crystal2, developed from the ground up by Mentor. Delivering fast compile, full debug visibility, and advanced memory modeling, Crystal2 is at the heart of the Veloce2 platform's performance and capacity gains. The Crystal-based Veloce architecture is highly scalable with impressive performance and capacity gains in the same physical footprint and power signature.
The Veloce2 software suite is backward compatible with first-generation Veloce emulators, boosting the productivity of current Veloce customers and preserving their investment while extending the useful life of their Veloce hardware. Future generations of Veloce will adhere to this common software philosophy, making Veloce emulators an excellent long-term investment.
The Veloce VirtuaLAB builds on the emulator's ability to run hardware designs written in RTL at megahertz speeds. By integrating RTL models of key peripherals like USB, Ethernet, PCIe and the like, the Veloce VirtuaLAB is able to create a full target environment that allows developers to validate both the hardware and embedded software, before any hardware is manufactured. This significantly accelerates product development cycles. Because the Veloce VirtuaLAB is entirely software-based, it is easily replicated to support multiple software and hardware developers simultaneously. Previously, system developers had to connect physical peripherals to the emulator via hardware speed adaptors, making the process cumbersome and expensive to support multiple users simultaneously. In effect, Veloce VirtuaLAB takes the emulator out of the lab environment and moves it into a data center environment where the resource can be shared across multiple projects and geographies. Veloce VirtuaLAB peripherals are available for most popular protocols, such as multimedia video/audio standards, Gigabit Ethernet, USB, PCI Express, SATA, and SAS with more to come.
The fourfold productivity increase of Veloce2 in concert with VirtuaLAB peripherals provides an ideal environment for software and hardware engineers to verify the embedded software and SoC components of a variety of products such as high-end CPUs, network switches/routers, digital set-top boxes, tablet PCs, netbooks, smartphones, digital cameras and other electronic products.
"Mentor is once again leading the way in emulation by delivering pioneering solutions that can be easily used and expanded across multiple design teams for the verification of complex electronic systems," said Eric Selosse, vice president and general manager of the Mentor® Emulation Division. "Veloce2 and VirtuaLAB, our next-generation of plug-and-play peripherals, further enhance our position as the premier vendor of complete emulation solutions."
Product Availability
The Veloce2 platform and Veloce VirtuaLAB are available immediately, and are currently deployed in production-worthy validation flows at multiple customer sites. For product information, contact your Mentor Graphics sales representative, call 800-547-3000 or visit the website at www.mentor.com/med.

White House Goes Too Far In Asking Google To Pull Controversial Video
from the there's-this-first-amendment-thing deptLast week, we reported on Google's decision to block access in Egypt and Libya to the controversial, hate-mongering video that's been cited as leading to the violent reactions in the Middle East. We wondered if this was the right move, noting the seriousness of the violence and the ridiculousness of the video. However, Paul Levy's thoughts on this make sense. While we may worry about what line Google may draw, it is a private company and it's not doing this due to government pressure, but as part of it's own decision:
Its removal is not the same as deferring to government censorship, and as much as I hate to give mob violence the satisfaction of an effective heckler's veto, we cannot expect that online service providers will never remove material simply because it is deemed offensive by wide swaths of the population. Moreover, I can't help but wondering if the violent response isn't just what the film-makers were hoping for. So by leaving the image on its site so that we can understand the controversy, while taking it down where broad access to the material is likely to cause the greatest harm, Google has made a comprehensible judgment.As such, even if we disagree with the choice, it's a defensible choice.
However, things may have crossed the line late last week. There were reports that the White House strongly suggested that YouTube pull the video entirely. Of course, they didn't come out and say that exactly, but rather suggested that YouTube "review the video to see if it was in compliance with their terms of use."
But when it's the White House suggesting that, it's a pretty clear situation in which the President is applying pressure on a private company to censor speech. Of course, we've seen this before, though not with the White House directly. Four years ago, we saw Senator Joe Lieberman similarly pressure YouTube to start blocking "terrorist" videos on YouTube. Lieberman, of course, loves to pressure private companies into blocking speech. He did similar things to try to censor Wikileaks and even pushed some bad legislation to try to increase censorship powers of the federal government.
Either way, the White House putting pressure on Google has troubling implications, even if we agree that the video in question is a hate-mongering disgrace. As various free speech activists told Politico (link above) there are some troubling implications here:
"There's no indication that the government is questioning the right of these idiots to make that repellent film. On the other hand, it does make us nervous when the government throws its weight behind any requests for censorship," the American Civil Liberties Union's Ben Wizner said in an interview Friday.Google, for its part, has actually stood up to the White House on this one, and said that it won't pull the clip, though it had begun blocking the video in India and Indonesia, where they determined the video itself was illegal, and the company needed to comply with local laws.
"I am actually kind of distressed by this," said Eva Galperin of the Electronic Frontier Foundation. "Even though there are all these great quotes from inside the White House saying they support free speech....by calling YouTube from the White House, they were sending a message no matter how much they say we don't want them to take it down, when the White House calls and asks you to review it, it sends a message and has a certain chilling effect."
Of course, all of this is unlikely to have much, if any, impact on the violence and anger. And that's part of the problem and the ridiculousness with arguing for censorship. It seems quite likely that a very large percentage of those involved in the mob violence to this haven't even seen the video themselves. Caving in to censorship "hints" from government doesn't actually hide the content or calm much anger. In fact, it's likely to just draw more attention to it. The video is despicable and the reaction to it is horrifying on a number of levels. The loss of life is massively upsetting, especially over something so stupid. So I can certainly understand the instinct to try to "do something," and to reach for the easiest target: censoring the video. But not only would it be completely ineffectual, it opens up a whole host of other problems. Dealing with hate speech by seeking to censor it almost always just encourages more hate speech (and even more idiotic violent reactions). It may be an "easy" thing to do, but it's no solution to deep-seeded problems. It just creates new problems.

~want to thank everyone for all the kind comments on our 'news'. We are so excited, and it's so nice to know that there are so many other people who are excited with us and for us!
~cried when I dropped Colin off at school this morning. I wasn't feeling overly emotional, but he jumped out of the car and ran up to the building like such a big boy. All of a sudden, he stopped, turned around, and gave me a big smile and a wave. And I hadn't even told him to do that. It just....got me. I miss him.
~am having trouble being creative when it comes to packing lunches everyday. I pack one for Shane, and one for Colin. I would love suggestions of what you pack in your lunches--I'm desperately seeking variety!
~am hooked on my raspberry sweet tea right now. Mmmmmmm.
~am going to bed earlier and earlier these days. 6:30 a.m. start + two very energetic boys + no nap + growing a person = one tired momma!
~am astonished at how rapidly my bladder is shrinking. Oy.
{on clearance, no less!}

As demand rises for leading-edge experiences in our private lives, the same level of service is expected in the workplace. Workplace processes, structure and culture need to be reimagined at an organizational level.
HR needs to improve the employee experience by going social and mobile. Today, companies need to appeal to a multi-generational workforce that is no longer confined to an office. A global, extended workforce needs to be able to collaborate through social networks. They want to work seamlessly, in real-time, anywhere, with more access to data and information to take more control of managing their performance and careers.
Employees believe digital brings improvements
It's no longer an "office hours" world. And in our busy lives, people need to consume information differently and in bite-sized chunks. For this to happen, HR needs to help enable freedom from the desktop, leveraging mobile and social connectivity to enable your people to consume and contribute information while out in the field or at their convenience.
Developing the "right" talent with the "right" skills is shaping workforce management
Having appropriate talent and skills is a major management concern. Organizations are expanding the way they think about identifying and developing talent. Leveraging social and mobile tools helps enable management of the entire talent lifecycle, and is particularly effective and efficient in attracting desirable talent while maintaining a high level of engagement, faster and more efficient onboarding and increased speed to competency. Companies must continually re-evaluate the types of skills the organization will need—and be ready to reskill and retool the existing workforce as organizations embrace the broader ecosystem in which their companies operate, collaborating with educational institutions and exploring new talent pools.
Social and mobile technologies offer new opportunities in terms of ubiquitous training and different ways of learning, such as massive open online courses.
The consumerization of workplace technology
Employees expect end-to-end workplace experiences, inspired by their experiences as consumers. HR has an opportunity to leverage this trend, and use employees' comfort with consumer technologies to make HR tools more accessible and attractive.
The new contours of the workplace
Mobile technology is critical to reaching a constantly moving, dynamic workforce—and to extending HR processes out to the business. It provides execution capabilities at the point of need for mobile workers and production facilities where access to PCs is limited.
Using mobile and social for employee collaboration
Mobile and social media enable employees to communicate within a broad HR and business context. In the future, organizations' competitive success may hinge on a highly unlikely suspect: workers who aren't employees at all. It's likely the end of work as we know it.
A "mobile-first" approach
Now, technology companies are designing apps with a mobile-first approach that can help make every talent and HR practice—from learning to performance management—available on an anytime-anywhere basis.
Leverage social and mobile in HR as part of your overall organizational strategy. HR should unleash the full potential of your workforce. Leveraging social and mobile technologies as part of an overarching Human Capital Management platform can enable HR to drive more business value and help provide the organization with the right information at the right time in the right place and allow for management at the speed of data—breaking down organizational boundaries to help release the full power of your people.
Start experimenting with more agile ways of working using social and mobile tools. A more mobile workforce requires increased flexibility on how work gets done. Allowing your people to disconnect from their desktop and use mobile tools to consume HR services at their convenience in real time, enables your people to access information at work the way they would in their personal lives—via social and mobile channels.
Enable learning anytime, anywhere. Mobile learning means learning anywhere anytime (with almost any device). Social learning enables employees to learn and consume information from a host of different sources and empowers your people to seek out required information—transforming the experience from a "learn and forget" (then refresh) to an agile and engaging experience. Leveraging these learning chains combined with social collaboration, opens up a whole new world of opportunities for an organization.
Our high velocity accelerators help our clients get up and running quickly on their new social and mobile strategies and processes. They work for 90 percent of our clients "out of the box."

Pinot Noir
Pinot Noir is a red wine grape grown around the world. Although Pinot Noir is grown primarily in cooler regions of France (like Burgundy and Champagne), the US, and Oceania, this grape, which is recognized as being able to produce some of the world's best wines. This grape is the primary variety used to produce sparkling wine in Champagne, and around the world. This wine has become more popular in the US since 2004.
The thin skin of Pinot Noir grapes lead the creation of aromatic wines that are light in color, low in tannins, and medium-bodied. Young grapes produce aromas such as cherry, raspberry, and strawberry, while older grapes have vegetable aromas that make the wines more complex. However, Pinot Noir wines sometimes age unpredictably.
