Suzanne Somers
It looks as if television actress Suzanne Somers is on her way to becoming a diet diva. At last count there were eight of her diet cookbooks on the market. In fact, Somers is producing these recipe-heavy tomes at a pretty fast clip these days-about one per year. First, it was Suzanne Somers' Eat Great, Lose Weight in 1996. Then came Suzanne Somers' Get Skinny on Fabulous Food in 1999. That was followed with a diet-dessert cookbook in 2001, Suzanne Somers' Fast & Easy in 2002; Suzanne Somers' Eat, Cheat, and Melt the Fat Away in 2003; and Suzanne Somers' Slim and Sexy Forever: The Hormone Solution for Permanent Weight Loss and Optimal Living just this year. Basically, the message throughout the books is the same, only the recipes have changed. Somers holds with the philosophy that sugar is the bad guy and that eating fat, even saturated fat, can help with weight loss.
These books come off as superfriendly to dieters. And Somers does a good job of talking about the difference between simple carbs (sugar, white bread, white rice) and the complex kind. Still, her strategies seem like a hodgepodge of diet advice cobbled together from other sources. Carrots are taboo (think Sugar Busters), steak with butter is good (think Atkins), and fruit should be eaten solo (think Fit for Life). Basically, her advice boils down to another low-carb, high-protein regimen. This time, however, it's a difficult one to master because of the convoluted food-combining rules.
Basic principles:
Call it a diet version of "good cop, bad cop": Sugar is the enemy, fat is the good guy. Dieters are encouraged to eat a high-protein, low-carb regimen that bears striking similarities to the Atkins plan, but with a few unusual twists. It seems Somers is into combining foods in "a way that aids in digestion and weight control." Fruit needs to be eaten on an empty stomach; protein and allowed carbs are not eaten together.
How the diet works:
There are two levels. Level One is the diet phase of the program, in which carbs are strictly limited. Level Two is the weight-maintenance phase-carbs are still restricted, but not as tightly. You eat at least three meals per day and are asked to abide by seven rules: Avoid funky foods (sugars, white breads, carrots, etc.); eat proteins and fats separately from carbs; eat proteins and veggies together; eat carbs and veggies together; eat fruit alone on an empty stomach; wait three hours between meals if switching from a protein/fat meal to a carb meal; do not skip meals.
What you can eat:
Butter, cream, bacon, steak, seafood-it's all good. In fact, Somers lumps fats and proteins together in the Pro/Fats group since many of the foods that contain protein also contain fat. Most fruits (except for bananas and pumpkin) and vegetables (except for beets, carrots, corn, winter squash, potatoes, sweet potatoes, and parsnips) are OK as long as you eat them as prescribed. Avocados, nuts, olives, and soy foods are considered taboo at Level One but are added back during the maintenance phase.
Does the diet take and keep weight off?
There's no scientific proof, but Somers' books are loaded with anecdotal evidence. In fact, there are a lot of before-and-after pictures and testimonials from people who have lost weight on her program.
Is the diet healthy?
Questionable. A plus in the diet's favor: Somers talks about the unhealthy nature of trans fats, the heart-unhealthy fats found in solid shortenings, cakes, and foods made with hydrogenated oils. A big minus: There's no limit on saturated fats like butter, beef, and bacon. As with Atkins, it's unclear what the health implications of a high-protein, high-fat, low-carb way of eating are over the long term.
What do the experts say?
"There's no magic in what's she asking people to do," says registered dietitian Jane Kirby, author of Dieting for Dummies (Wiley, second edition, 2003). "It does force people to be more aware of what they're eating. But it's no miracle." In fact, she thinks it's downright misleading for Somers to label some foods as "poisonous." "There's room for everything in the diet," Kirby says. "You just need to watch amounts." Jackie Berning, PhD, a registered dietitian and associate professor of biology at the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs, says the big problem with the diet is that there is not a stitch of science to show that any of these strategies work. "I'd tell people to throw away the information in the books and just stick with the recipes." What about Somers' liberal attitude toward butter, beef, and an arsenal of saturated-fat-rich foods? "We've got 40 years of research that shows saturated fat is a risk factor for heart disease," Berning says. Dieters may have lower cholesterol levels when they first lose the weight, she says, "but that's because cholesterol levels drop when body mass drops." Berning isn't convinced, though, that these numbers will stay down over the long term, and that could spell trouble for your heart.
Who should consider the diet?
Forget it. Dieters wanting to go low-carb can do it more healthfully, and with much less fuss, on the South Beach plan.
Bottom line:
Some folks might like the glamorous photography and the reader-friendly writing style. Too bad the advice is part pseudoscience and part gibberish.

Subject: It's Not Weakness, It's Human
Sun Jan 10, 2016 4:27 pm
Cole sat head in his hands in the chair next to a hospital bed and quietly hid the fear and shame that rolled down his face in the dimly lit room. Neatly folded sheets covered his motionless son up to the chest, one arm turned under side up with an I.V. forcing fluids into his body and an oxygen mask forcing him to breathe. Here it was easy to see the differences between father and son. Nick had a dark tan, black brown hair that had grown out since the attack, chiseled cheekbones and jawline. Cole sat bedside with his critical son when footsteps approached the dark room. His hand went instantly to his side arm, loosing it from its holster at his side to hold readied at his side.
The door creeked open, Dr. Nakea peered inside before opening it enough to enter.
"General," she nodded to him as he slid the weapon back into his hip holster, still in plain view. She didn't flinch, apparently accustomed to St. John's edgy behavior. "I just need to check his vitals and change his I.V. bag."
"Go ahead," Cole replied in a dull tone. He straightened in his chair, running his palm across the thick stubble that had grown out of his short buzzcut. Tessa went to work straight away, even in the unlit room she knew her way around her patient. She checked the quality and positioning of the other monitors attached to the young man's chest, scarcely as old as she was, yet in a coma in her emergency room. Swiftly the fluid bags were exchanged for new ones, she administered his next dose of medication into the I.V.. She took one last look at the EEG censors for any signs that he would wake soon, but nothing showed up.
"His heart rate and blood flow seem normal, still no signs of internal bleeding from the his wounds..."
"When will he wake up?" Cole interrupted abruptly.
"I'm sorry, I don't have an answer that question." Tessa frowned.
Cole sat silently in the darkness, only slivers of light breaking through the blinds into the hall outside. The dark circles underneath his eyes showed his age and his exhaustion as he let his body slump forward again, supporting his forehead with an arm propped on his knee.
"Will he wake up?" he asked finally, his voice almost breaking.
"I..." she stammered. "I don't know. We're doing everything we can." She placed her hand timidly on his shoulder, trying to comfort him.
Screams filled the halls of the military hospital as two soldiers gripped a woman by her arms to keep her from lashing out. She fought tirelessly against their grip, the man she was so furious with her own husband stood before her. She cursed his name, his existence, even the colony to which they belonged that demanded such despicable acts.
"How could you!! You bastard, he is my child too! . . . No! You can't do this, let go. Cole! Do something?" A mixture of rage and pleads came from the dark haired woman who's belly was tot with child. "You gave your word!"
Cole turned away, running his palm over his scalp as they took her screaming down the halls of the hospital into the operating room. He shook his head, trying to shake off everything she had said before he turned back to the doors and sat waiting outside. Some time passed before Cole stood up, pacing back and forth in the hall way with impatience.
"This is taking too long..." he said to himself as the doctor stepped out of the doors behind him, Cole turned with concern on his face.
"General, we've safely delivered your son. Would you like us to continue the process?" he asked slowly.
"And Leah?" Cole asked hesitantly
"She's unconscious. There was a complication with the anethesia, she was awake throughout the C-Section. She will need some time to heal the incisions, otherwise she should be fine."
"Continue the augmentation," he said as he stepped toward the operating room. "Take me to my wife."
"Actually sir," the doctor started hesitantly. "Before she went under your wife asked that she be left alone."
"Take me to my wife," he repeated with a furrowed brow.
The doctor stammered, but eventually led him through the doors and into her room. Her eyes were closed and her body neatly tucked underneath the sheets of the bed. Her black-brown hair waterfalled over his shoulders in messy waves to frame her tanned face. Cole sat in the chair next to her bed waiting for the wrath that would come when she awoke. Knowing full well that she would be livid with him, but when her eyes opened and briefly registered his face she simply turned her back to him. He tried to lay a hand on her shoulder to comfort her she didn't move.
"Leah..." he spoke her name to try to get her to look at him, she refused. A growing sense of unrest accompanied the silence in the air. He pulled his hand away after a long time had passed. He rose, Leah stayed on the bed with her back to him as he turned toward the door.
"Have the nurses retrieve me when you're ready to go home." he said as his hand turned to handle of the door.
'I have no home," a faint whisper came from the bed. Cole turned back for a moment, rubbing his brow with his free hand. Then he pulled the door open, closing it behind him to leave her alone. No tears filled her eyes, but the burning pain of solitude consumed her in the white room.
Cole placed his hand on Tessa's and more gently than expected brushed her away from him. Tessa pulled back mournfully, there was little else she could do to console him. She frowned as she knelt to see his face, he instantly looked away.
"It's alright to shed tears for a loved one," she whispered quietly. "It's not weakness, it's human."
"I lost my humanity a long time ago doctor," he said as he shifted back in the chair away from her prying eyes. She frowned further and stood, understanding what he meant. She turned and left the room, the white light of the hospital hallway pouring in as the door opened, only to dissipate into darkness once again. He glanced over at his son, his brow furrowed slightly, he looked like Leah.

Some tornadoes strike rapidly, without time for a tornado warning, and sometimes without a thunderstorm in the vicinity. When you are watching for rapidly emerging tornadoes, it is important to know that you cannot depend on seeing a funnel: clouds or rain may block your view. The following weather signs may mean that a tornado is approaching: A dark or green-colored sky. A large, dark, low-lying cloud. Large hail. A loud roar that sounds like a freight train.If you notice any of these weather conditions, take cover immediately, and keep tuned to local radio and TV stations or to a NOAA weather radio.NOAA Weather RadiosNOAA weather radios are the best way to receive warnings from the National Weather Service. By using a NOAA weather radio, you can receive continuous updates on all the weather conditions in your area. The range of these radios depends on where you live, but the average range is 40 miles. The radios are sold in many stores. The National Weather Service recommends buying a radio with a battery backup (in case the power goes off) and a tone-alert feature that automatically sounds when a weather watch or warning is issued.Sighting a Funnel CloudIf you see a funnel cloud nearby, take shelter immediately (see the following section for instructions on shelter). However, if you spot a tornado that is far away, help alert others to the hazard by reporting it to the newsroom of a local radio or TV station before taking shelter as described later. Use common sense and exercise caution: if you believe that you might be in danger, seek shelter immediately.Taking ShelterYour family could be anywhere when a tornado strikes--at home, at work, at school, or in the car. Discuss with your family where the best tornado shelters are and how family members can protect themselves from flying and falling debris.The key to surviving a tornado and reducing the risk of injury lies in planning, preparing, and practicing what you and your family will do if a tornado strikes. Flying debris causes most deaths and injuries during a tornado. Although there is no completely safe place during a tornado, some locations are much safer than others.At HomePick a place in the home where family members can gather if a tornado is headed your way. One basic rule is AVOID WINDOWS. An exploding window can injure or kill.The safest place in the home is the interior part of a basement. If there is no basement, go to an inside room, without windows, on the lowest floor. This could be a center hallway, bathroom, or closet.For added protection, get under something sturdy such as a heavy table or workbench. If possible, cover your body with a blanket, sleeping bag, or mattress, and protect your head with anything available--even your hands. Avoid taking shelter where there are heavy objects, such as pianos or refrigerators, on the area of floor that is directly above you. They could fall though the floor if the tornado strikes your house.In a Mobile HomeDO NOT STAY IN A MOBILE HOME DURING A TORNADO. Mobile homes can turn over during strong winds. Even mobile homes with a tie-down system cannot withstand the force of tornado winds.Plan ahead. If you live in a mobile home, go to a nearby building, preferably one with a basement. If there is no shelter nearby, lie flat in the nearest ditch, ravine, or culvert and shield your head with your hands.If you live in a tornado-prone area, encourage your mobile home community to build a tornado shelter.On the RoadThe least desirable place to be during a tornado is in a motor vehicle. Cars, buses, and trucks are easily tossed by tornado winds.DO NOT TRY TO OUTRUN A TORNADO IN YOUR CAR. If you see a tornado, stop your vehicle and get out. Do not get under your vehicle. Follow the directions for seeking shelter outdoors (see next section).OutdoorsIf you are caught outside during a tornado and there is no adequate shelter immediately available-- Avoid areas with many trees. Avoid vehicles. Lie down flat in a gully, ditch, or low spot on the ground. Protect your head with an object or with your arms.Long-Span BuildingsA long-span building, such as a shopping mall, theater, or gymnasium, is especially dangerous because the roof structure is usually supported solely by the outside walls. Most such buildings hit by tornados cannot withstand the enormous pressure. They simply collapse.If you are in a long-span building during a tornado, stay away from windows. Get to the lowest level of the building--the basement if possible--and away from the windows.If there is no time to get to a tornado shelter or to a lower level, try to get under a door frame or get up against something that will support or deflect falling debris. For instance, in a department store, get up against heavy shelving or counters. In a theater, get under the seats. Remember to protect your head.Office Buildings, Schools, Hospitals, Churches, and Other Public BuildingsExtra care is required in offices, schools, hospitals, or any building where a large group of people is concentrated in a small area. The exterior walls of such buildings often have large windows.If you are in any of these buildings-- Move away from windows and glass doorways. Go to the innermost part of the building on the lowest possible floor. Do not use elevators because the power may fail, leaving you trapped. Protect your head and make yourself as small a target as possible by crouching down.Shelter for People with Special NeedsAdvance planning is especially important if you require assistance to reach shelter from an approaching storm (see specific instructions in the next section). If you are in a wheelchair, get away from windows and go to an interior room of the house. If possible, seek shelter under a sturdy table or desk. Do cover your head with anything available, even your hands. If you are unable to move from a bed or a chair and assistance is not available, protect yourself from falling objects by covering up with blankets and pillows. If you are outside and a tornado is approaching, get into a ditch or gully. If possible, lie flat and cover your head with your arms.

It was block I had pinned on Pinterest and there's a great tutorial at Simple Girl, Simple Life.
I used my typical method of choosing fabrics for a quilt - so I thought I'd walk you through it today.
I started with a line called Wildwood by Elizabeth Olwen. I love her art and had purchased her earlier line Grey Abbey. So I added some of those. I also found that she is designing some fabric for JoAnn's, so off I went and found a couple of additional prints. Also scored a backing with a coupon!
Then I pulled some fabrics from my stash to add to the mix. I was looking for similar colors and a similar feel. I didn't want the pieces that I was adding to dilute the look of the original designs. So my additions tend to be very basic and geometric. Dots, stripes, tone-on-tones.
And here is how they all looked together...

Girl Scouts get merit badge for game development
The Girl Scouts are piloting a merit patch for Wow Gold Kaufen game development.
The badge is a collaboration between Women in Games International and the Girl Scouts of Greater Los Angeles, and right now the badge is only available for Girl Scouts in LA.
The course to obtain the patch will be specially designed, with WIGI developing a program that will meet the patch requirements of the Girl Scouts.
Speaking to Girl Gamer, WIGI vice president Amy Allison said "creating this badge will get young girls excited in technology and science and let them know that they, too, can have a career in the video game industry."
WIGI's overall aim is to use the Gamestar Mechanic to get girls actually developing video games, and to get the badge rolled out nationwide. The Boy Scouts currently have a merit badge for game design, though it does not require actual video game development.

Iobella's heated workout pods steam up Los Angeles
No, it's not a scene from Sandra Bullock's training for Gravity. It's Iobella in Los Angeles, which puts you and Pilates-like moves inside a pod heated to 98-100 degrees ostensibly for the purpose of "melting fat" while you sculpt and tone.
It's a claim that's hard to prove scientifically and may not appeal to those who dislike the magazine-cover promise. But it's helped Iobella garner lots of buzz and woo lots of women.
Iobella, of course, isn't the only game in town (now or ever) promising to expedite fat loss with heat. However, unlike old school spa methods of passive sweating (or vibrating belts), the exercises you do once in the Iobella pod are rigorous and help build muscle. So there could be a semantics problem here. Perhaps this is really Hot Pod Pilates?
Here's what transpires:
The workout is one part of a three-pronged approach Iobella says will help women lose inches from targeted areas. (Spot training may be a myth, but it's a common claim made by certain barre studios and other body-toning training programs.) Brought by Roxana Lissa from Argentina to Santa Monica in the fall of 2012, the method starts with a full-body assessment: armed with a measuring tape, an Iobella consultant takes full data from your body—measuring your arms, legs, hips, calves, etc., as well as your body fat and bone diameter. She plugs the data into Iobella's proprietary computer program, along with your age, weight, exercise regimen, and other metrics.
A full picture (literally) emerges pointing to which parts of your body could lose inches, and how many. You kind of have to agree with the machine's assessment because it's what your training sessions are built around: It determined my calves had the most to lose, and my arms were fine. A fitness regimen of two or three Iobella sessions a week is tailored accordingly. Women—Iobella is not offered for men—are measured every six sessions, and also meet regularly with a nutritionist.
For the workout, you'll climb into a pod where the temperature approximates your body's. "The heat improves blood circulation," which Iobella's Golie Shamie says speeds up metabolism, and maximizes fat and calorie burning. "Think of it like heating up cold pockets of fat," she says.
Resistance bands are attached inside the pod and you'll put them to good use for leg lifts, donkey kicks, sit ups, and bicep and tricep curls. The heat definitely speeds up your heart rate, but isn't uncomfortable. In fact, for many moves, your head is outside of the pod making it possible to get a breath of fresh air. Even so, you will totally soak through your tank.
Wouldn't it be easier to heat the whole room? Iobella has an answer for that. Unlike hot yoga "this workout comes with a personal instructor. These are not classes; they are private sessions," says Shamie. And there's a practicality: "Our trainers do not need to be in a heated room for a full day of sessions."
After the 30-minute pod workout, you pop in the shower, and prep for final phase of the treatment. It's a 15 minute session in an O3 cabin (that's oxygen with an extra O molecule added), which also looks like pod, only it has a chaise lounge in it. The claim is that the air is a cell booster—"hydrating, maintaining elasticity, and keeping the skin tight as you lose inches," says Shamie.
It feels completely divine to bend and burn in the heat for a half an hour, and then follow it up with a cool, quiet room and cucumbers on your eyelids. So if it also "diminishes the appearance of cellulite," fine with me. With lovely locker rooms, espresso, massage and facial services, the whole experience feels much more like a spa. Which is probably why it's been so easy to get women—from celebrities to high power LA business-types—to commit. —Molly Creedan

Story highlights
- Report: Apple will join the "internet of things" soon
- iPhones would synch with lights, appliances, security
- Financial times says system will be unveiled at WWDC next month
Apple is planning to introduce a smart home concept at its upcoming Worldwide Developers Conference, according to a report.
The Financial Times says the company is planning to showcase a system that lets users control their lights, appliances and security systems with their iPhones when the conference kicks off June 2. The rumored introduction comes after Google purchased Nest Labs, a smart thermostat started by former Apple execs Tony Fadell and Matt Rogers, for $2.8 billion in January.
A "select number" of device makers will be certified to offer products that work with Apple's upcoming system, according to the report, which didn't name any of the manufacturers.
Apple could not be reached for comment. The company signaled its interest in the category in a June 2012 patent filling for a technology that connects lighting systems, security systems, garage-door openers, music controllers, climate controllers or kitchen appliances with mobile devices.
The Internet of Things, as the class of smart appliances that interact with mobile devices and desktops is known, will account for 9 billion products by 2018, according to Business Insider.

BMW widens lead over Lexus in annual U.S. sales
BMW widened its lead over Toyota's Lexus, which boosted incentive spending in November while the German brand cut back, as the three-way U.S. luxury-auto sales race enters the homestretch. Mercedes-Benz delayed its results a day, leaving the year-to-date standings in doubt.
Sales at BMW rose 3.2 percent to 32,003, as deliveries of the X3 sport utility vehicle more than doubled. Lexus gained 6.8 percent to a November record of 29,340, helped by its revamped RX SUV. Daimler AG's Mercedes said its reporting system malfunctioned.
Lexus, which hasn't claimed the annual sales crown since 2010, boosted average incentives 19 percent last month as it started year-end promotions early, according to TrueCar Inc. estimates. The wasn't enough to gain on BMW, which TrueCar said reduced its spending 3.6 percent from a year earlier, while Mercedes trimmed its discounts 7.4 percent. Lexus still spent less per vehicle than the two rivals.
The November results mean Lexus is unlikely to catch BMW for the year, said Eric Lyman, a TrueCar vice president. "It's something they could manage if they were willing to go nuts on incentives. But I can't see them doing that just to get the sales crown."
BMW, which won the 2014 title, through October was ahead by 533 over Mercedes and about 5,500 over Lexus. The November sales increased BMW's lead over Lexus to more than 8,000.

Conduit 2 Anyone?

Conduit 2 Anyone?
Anyone out there picked up Conduit 2 yet? What do you think of it? I'm working on the review and it should be ready to go for Monday or Tuesday. So far I've been really enjoying it. I like the set up of the game and the weapon selection much better than the first game. The story is still silly and the voice acting is pretty terrible.
If you've got it we should get together and play some multiplayer.

Dennis T. Drayna, Ph.D.
Senior Investigator
Section on Systems Biology of Communication Disorders
Porter Neuroscience Research Center, Room 1F-127
35 Convent Drive
Bethesda, MD 20892
Research Topics
In the Section on Systems Biology of Communication Disorders, we use family- and population-based genetic methods to identify genes responsible for human communication disorders. The lab has a major focus on the speech disorder stuttering, for which we have identified causative mutations in several genes. We study the biochemical and cellular effects of these mutations, and we use mouse model systems to study the effects of these mutations on mouse ultrasonic vocalizations. The long-term goal of our work is to identify specific neuronal pathologies caused by these mutations.
We also perform studies on the sense of taste, where our overall goal is understanding how naturally occurring genetic variation contributes to differences in the sense of taste in humans. We are currently focused on a study of variation in taste perception genes and tobacco use, with a particular interest in menthol tobacco use and variation in the TRPM8 gene which encodes the menthol receptor.
Dr. Drayna received his bachelor of arts degree in biology from the University of Wisconsin in 1976, and his Ph.D. in genetics from Harvard University in 1981. Dr. Drayna conducted his postdoctoral research at the Howard Hughes Medical Institute at the University of Utah, where he constructed the first full-length genetic map of a human X chromosome, and performed a number of disease-specific gene linkage studies. He later spent 15 years in the San Francisco Bay area biotechnology industry, where he worked on genetic aspects of cholesterol and lipid metabolism, and identified the gene responsible for hereditary hemochromatosis. In 1996, Dr. Drayna moved to the NIH as a visiting investigator at NHGRI. He joined the NIDCD in 1997 and since then has focused on the genetics of disorders such as auditory pitch perception, variation in the sense of taste, and disorders of voice and speech. His current research is primarily directed toward the genetics of stuttering and the identification of the neural deficits that underlie this disorder.

text: Syphilis is a sexually transmitted disease caused by bacteria. Syphilis occurs worldwide, it is the third most commonly reported infectious disease. The rate of syphilis is higher in urban areas. Syphilis is always transmitted through sexual contact; congenital syphilis transmits from mother to child in uterus or at birth. Young adults, ages 15 to 25 are the highest risk population. Primary syphilis first presents as a small painless open sore or a ulcer that is called a chancre. This ulcer typically appears 10 days to 6 weeks after exposure. The often solitary ulcer that appears on the penis is easily visible; however, ulcers that occur on the labia, cervix, anal or in the mouth may go unnoticed because they are painless and not easily visible.

After Tassie I got to spend four days in Melbourne. My quilting friend, Chris, arrived and Top Gear left to go play cars in Canberra with his friends. Chris and I wasted no time heading off to the Australian Quilt Convention. It was held in the beautiful Melbourne Exhibition building.
The show featured the best of the best quilt from each state.
Lovely quilts like these from Katrina Hadjimichael;
Of course, a small amount of shopping was done......ahem!
The next few days were spent exploring some of what Melbourne had to offer, like the Victoria Markets, shopping in Bourke Street and Sunday at St Kilda.
I had a great time but it was lovely to get home after nearly two weeks away.
Happy stitching!

I'm so excited for G&B but jealous at the same time, and I shouldn't be - because I can't think of a married couple that deserves that miracle baby (or babies) more! I LOVE watching them, because you can just SEE how genuinely in love they are. Same with Wills and Kate. and that's what you always root for. or at least I do, because I'm a hopeless romantic.

Some of you may remember the Great Ornament Exchange of 2008… well, I didn't have the time or energy to do it last Christmas, but I am excited about doing it this year!
If you love Christmas and would love to get (and give) a unique ornament, this is the exchange for you!
HERE's HOW IT WORKS:
1.) You email me with the following information:
*[your name, mailing address, ph #, & one sentence (please only one!) stating anything you really like or anything you really don't like.. i.e. "no Santas- I love silver ornaments!"- keep it brief...remember part of the fun is getting something you haven't specifically picked out]*
2.) I add your name to the list.
*[and yes, your info is very safe with me... I will put it on a spreadsheet for the exchange only and then delete it once your ornament has been received- pinkie swear!]*
3.) On DECEMBER 3rd at midnight the list closes. Then I use a random number generator to decide who "gets" who.
4.) On DECEMBER 4th I email you with the info for the person you "got".
5.) You buy a fun ornament, write an encouraging note, visit the person's blog [if they have one- not required] and ship said ornament NO LATER than December 15th.
6.) You receive a fun ornament, an encouraging note and maybe even make a friend.
So… email me @ email@example.com and put "ornament exchange" in the subject line of the email. If you want to add the cute button above to your blog/facebook/website, ask for the code and I will email that to you in response.
Invite your friends… its going to be fun!

There are sharp differences between how men and women view "quality time."
According to Fisher, men value shared events, even if that "event" is the season finale of Parks and Recreation. They don't need to talk to each other to feel a connection, they just need to take part in the same experience. "Men get more intimacy out of what is called side-by-side doing," Fisher says. "For example two men sitting watching television all afternoon on a Sunday at ball games say almost nothing, but they got great intimacy out of it because they shared an event. I think it comes from millions of years of men sitting behind a bush in the grasslands of Africa, staring straight ahead, trying to hit that buffalo in the head with a rock. You cannot be face to face talking to each other if you're going to do your job." Flash forward to modern times, and this is why men go deaf when watching TV. Fisher agrees: "They're very focused on that TV. They don't hear you. They don't see you."
"Elevated testosterone activity gives you a narrow, deep focus and these men, they're not trying to be rude, they're just literally doing one thing at a time," Fisher explains. "And then of course after you turn off the TV and you go to dinner together, then you'll start talking about all these things and you'll have a wonderful time because now he's focused on something else."
Women are better multi-taskers says Fisher. And yes, you can quote her on that: "Estrogen flows over the brain in the womb and women who get a lot of estrogen tend to have a lot of connections between the two hemispheres of the brain and between the front and the back of the brain. As a result, they see the big picture, they think long-term, they're very imaginative, and they collect a lot of data and they put those data into very complex patterns."
Because of these connections, women require more interaction with their quality time. "I have a friend who's a bird-watcher," Fisher continues. "He says with men he just goes out there stands side-by-side and looks at the birds. With a woman, she puts her binoculars down, faces him straight on with what's called the anchoring gaze, and talks about the birds that she's seeing."
Understanding gender differences—and cutting your partner some slack—is key to getting the quality time that satisfies both partners. But before you hide the remote and start planning a vacation, consider your own needs. "To focus on quality time as a couple, both people have to start at a place of feeling like they have enough quality time to themselves," says YourTango Expert and relationship coach Melodie Tucker.
From there, Tucker suggests each person figure out which activities are completely separate interests and which can be shared. Two people might not find a given activity equally enjoyable, but they should agree on the shared activity. Ideally, one partner will present his or her interest, and the other's role is to compromise and be open to trying it out. "Take turns," says Tucker. "Men may favor a more action-oriented or task-driven activity. Women want to communicate more."
And if you can include sex or food, so much the better. Is A Man Who Cooks The Ultimate Turn On?

MIPS Eligible Clinicians
10 Fast Facts About MACRA You Need To Know
Most ACOs Must Comply With MIPS in 2017
By the end of January 2016 there were 838 ACOs operating across all fifty states and Washington DC. Today ACOs are paid under different models and considered part of different tracks; most commonly the Track 1 Medicare Shared Savings Program (MSSP) model, but also Track 2 and Track 3 programs such as Next Generation ACOs and Pioneer ACOs. According to CMS, 95% of all ACO's are considered a Track 1 ACO... All Track 1 ACOs, meaning 95% of all ACOs, are not eligible for Advanced APM status. In other words, 95% of ACOs must report through MIPS.
5 Ways Critical Access Hospitals Can Best Prepare for MIPS
In November, CMS issued its final ruling on the Medicare Access and Chip Reauthorization Act (MACRA). This ruling was the largest change in Medicare in over a decade – pushing completely away from volume based care towards a new era of value-based care. MACRA created MIPS, the Merit-Based Incentive Payment System. This new law and corresponding implementation will have a particularly harsh impact on Critical Access Hospitals (CAHs); exempt from previous programs and generally operating with limited resources, CAHs are at a distinct disadvantage when attempting to comply with MIPS.
Advantages to Filing MIPS Data Electronically
Many providers elect not to file MIPS data, stating that it is too difficult or not worth their time. However, with penalties increasing every year, few practices can afford not to file. Health eFilings simplifies MIPS reporting, using the electronic filing method set up by CMS. Practices are able to save time and money, with a completely automated process that requires no work on their end.

Granted 'wish' opens world of play for 6-year-old Prescott Valley boy
Sean Pfister is a happy 6-year-old boy from Mountain View Elementary who likes Star Wars and playing with his siblings, as many boys his age do. Only, his playtime has been difficult to come by over the past few years.
That is, until the Make-A-Wish Foundation stepped in.
Sean was born with Glutaric Acidemia Type 1, a metabolic disorder that doesn't allow him to process certain proteins in common foods. Because of his disorder, Sean then suffered a metabolic stroke when he was only 8 months old, leaving him unable to control his movements, along with causing Cerebral Palsy, and leaving him unable to speak.
However, Sean is still cognitively developed and there are no issues with his understanding or learning ability. With the help of doctors and therapists, Sean was able to learn to use a computer attached to his chair in order to communicate. He uses his eyes to select pictures for the words he wants to use, which works very well for him.
And yet, there was still something missing. Sean was still limited to only where his wheelchair could go, and most kid-friendly places were limited in their wheelchair access. Even around the house, playtime was sometimes complicated.
But there was a glimmer of hope. Sean's doctors suggested to his mother, An Pfister, about the possibility of applying for the Make-A-Wish Foundation, which specializes in creating experiences and specialized gifts for children with life-threatening illnesses. After taking some time to think about the decision and filling out the necessary paperwork for the program, Sean was approved to get his wish.
Being a child
The process started for Sean and his family in July 2016, and their first step was to decide on what type of wish would be best for them. There was no dispute there, and they quickly decided that Sean needed a safe and interactive way to be a child. He needed a place to play.
"He always makes an impression on people. He is very social," his mother explained. She added that he was often very limited when it came to playing with his family and friends. Make-A-Wish wanted to change that.
The first plan consisted of a train that Sean could ride in and control, much in the way he uses his computer on his wheelchair. However, there was a halt to the plans when the project required the family to have a carnival license, which would need to be renewed each year. So they tried to think of something else, something interactive that he could enjoy with his three sisters. And that's when they came up with the winning idea: a playset.
Community help
With the help of Lori Padilla and Myrta George, the local Make-A-Wish helpers, as well as Sandy Griffis of the Yavapai County Contractors Association, they were able to design a two-level playset with a special ramp that Sean could safely use to get to the top level and play with his family.
The construction took over 100 hours of labor, almost all of it volunteer, to make his wish come true.
The playset was created on the Pfister family's land in Prescott Valley. It includes swings, two slides, binoculars, and a telescope, as well as the ramp that was installed specifically for Sean, which goes directly from their home to the second level of the playset so there is no need for him to leave his chair.
Upon asking what he thought of his new playset, his computer chirped, "like" and a wide grin spread across his face. His mother, An, said that he loves to go out and play with his three sisters, and especially on the swings, or laying down in the grass beside it with his father.
"He gets to play, which is very important for little boys to do," his mother, An, explained. "If there is one thing I had to say about it all," she continued, "it would just be that we are so grateful to the Make-A-Wish Foundation. We are so thankful for all the work.
"So many people helped and it was incredible to see local businesses dedicating their time. All for Sean to have the ability to play."
Now with the gift of the local people of Prescott and the Make-A-Wish Foundation, Sean gets to be included in the fun. Now he gets to play.

LONDON (Reuters) - British voters punished the Liberal Democrats for their role in a deficit-cutting government on Friday, rejecting the party's efforts to reform the electoral system and deserting it in local elections.
The outcome points to a rockier future for Britain's Conservative-led coalition government, with analysts predicting a more combative stance from the Lib Dems, the junior partners.
The Scottish National Party (SNP) scored a bumper haul, winning an outright majority in Scotland's assembly — which has limited powers devolved from London — and opening the door for a referendum on secession from the rest of Britain.
A fully independent Scotland could change the handling of profits from North Sea oil fields, a crucial source of tax revenue for cash-strapped Britain.
It might also have implications for the Royal Bank of Scotland, bailed out during the global financial crisis and now 83-percent owned by the state.
Voters overwhelmingly rejected a proposed reform to Britain's voting system in a blow to the Lib Dems and their leader Nick Clegg, who had championed the change.
The campaign for Thursday's referendum on voting reform strained the year-old coalition, prompting angry exchanges between Lib Dems, who backed change, and Conservative defenders of the current system.
Both Conservative Prime Minister David Cameron and Clegg, the deputy prime minister, pledged on Friday to continue working together in the coalition, which has embarked on tough austerity policies to slash Britain's record peacetime budget deficit.
Cameron, whose party saw its vote hold up in local elections, said he believed the coalition would survive until 2015 and complete its austerity programme.
"Now Conservatives and Liberal Democrats must come together again in this government and provide strong, decisive long-term good government in the national interest for Britain," he said.
The main opposition Labour Party, which has overtaken the Conservatives in opinion polls, had mixed results. While support in local council elections in England was positive, the party took a beating in Scotland, normally a heartland of its support.
SNP leader Alex Salmond, who remains Scotland's first minister after his party's stunning gains, said he would speak to Cameron on Friday to lay down markers over what the result meant for Scotland's relationship with the United Kingdom.
"We've given ourselves the permission to be bold," he said.
The party aims to hold a vote on independence from Britain within five years.
The big losers were the Lib Dems, who have fallen sharply out of favour with voters because of an array of policy reversals since entering the coalition in May 2010 — notably their U-turn on a pledge to oppose higher university tuition fees. They suffered heavy losses across the country.
Clegg called the referendum result a "bitter blow".
"But the answer is clear and the wider job of the government and the Liberal Democrats in government will continue — to repair the economy, to restore a sense of prosperity and jobs and optimism to the country. That's the job that we've started and we'll see it through," Clegg said.
Defenders of the current first-past-the-post voting system in parliamentary elections won the referendum by more than a two-to-one margin. They rejected a change to the "Alternative Vote" system that helps smaller parties like the Lib Dems.
Labour held on to a parliamentary seat in Leicester, central England, where a lawmaker's resignation prompted an election. Votes for both the Lib Dems and Conservatives were down sharply from last year's national election.
The Lib Dems' poor showing prompted a few commentators to ask if the coalition could split and derail the austerity plan. But financial market investors did not share those fears.
"Do they (the election results) jeopardise the coalition? Absolutely not, because the junior coalition partner has nowhere to go," said Andrew Roberts, head of European rates strategy at RBS.
The referendum on voting reform was a key concession won by the Lib Dems for joining the centre-right Conservatives last year in creating Britain's first coalition since World War Two.
The referendum loss and poor local vote results might spur challenges to Clegg, but no contenders have yet emerged.
Analysts expect the Lib Dems now to try to better defend their policies to claw back popular support.
"Lib Dems will expect their coalition representatives .... to be seen to be defending very publicly Lib Dem principles and winning battles. That is something the Lib Dems will have to do more of to show that they are actually making a difference in the coalition," said Nottingham University's Steven Fielding.

Newfound Freedom
Collection Story, an Artist's Statement
I create for the millions who came before me. The mothers, the suffragettes. I remember you, even though I have not met you.
I create for the millions who will come after I'm gone. The trailblazers and inspirers. I think of you often and wonder what you will do, even though you're not here yet.
I create for you who are here right now in this world. Some are ready, some are not. For those who are ready, I welcome you. For those who are not ready, I encourage you.
Look back and look forward at the same time. See how far we've come and how much farther we can go.
It is up to us now.
Our newfound freedom is fragile; take great care with it.
It is a rare time in history when we have a real voice that is being heard.
This newfound freedom comes in many forms. The right to vote, the right to follow our eternal callings, the right to be true to ourselves.
This newfound freedom allows us to drape ourselves in garments that reflect our intellects and values.
We owe it to the millions before and after us to dress with dignity. Show them how it is done.
It is up to us now.

Today Theater
62 W. Madison Street,
2 people favorited this theater
The 327-seat Today Theater, which opened February 28, 1941 on W. Madison Street near N. Dearborn Street, was the second theater in the Loop that featured a mostly newsreel format. The first Loop theater to do this was the Loop Theater, originally called the Telenews.
During the Today Theater's last years, it showed adult films. Visitors to the Today Theater often went to the Forum Cafeteria — a two-level Streamline Moderne delight that was next door and was razed in the early-1980's at the same time as the Today Theater. The site of the theater is now 3 First National Plaza.

The Forum –"Serving the Best in Foods" (motto)
The book "Chicago's Loop" claims that the Castle theatre on State was the first newsreel theatre in chicago, beginning in 1932
In the book "THEN & NOW"-CHICAGO'S LOOP" by Janice A. Knox, there is a nice shot of the Today theatre- circa 1960- on page 69. ONE HOUR PROGRAM LATE NEWS on the marquee. Just west of the theatre is the great Forum Cafeteria, which was wildly popular. On page 94, there is a shot of Madison and Dearborn -circa 1960- looking west.There is another picture (very small) of the Today.
Here is a June 1973 article in the Harrisonburg (VA) Daily News Record:
Some adult movie houses and book stores closed their doors Friday or planned to change their fare in the wake of a U.S. Supreme Court ruling apparently giving police more leeway to get tough with pornography peddlers. "Closed due to uncertainty of court decision. Open when situation more stable," read a sign on the door of the Adult Movie Arcade in downtown Louisville, Ky.
Don's Playland a block away decided on a closeout sale. "Due to the most recent ruling by the Supreme Court, we are liquidating all stock — 50 per cent off." Owner Don Marsh prophesied the ruling would drive pornography back underground. He called the decision a "rape of the Constitution." Other newsstands and bookstores displayed signs saying closed "for inventory."
Most pornography peddlers agreed the industry was in trouble and some film houses planned to change their tastes as a result. "The law is the law. We have to abide by what they say," said Paul Jones, manager of Today, an X-rated theater in Chicago. "We'll just have to go to something else. We'll go to the films with less sex and black films."
Joseph Boardman, advertising manager of the underground newspaper, the Los Angeles Free Press, said he alerted his sales staff that "there's a good chance we'll be changing our advertising policy drastically in light of the Supreme Court ruling." "If they (the police) start hasseling us …we'll take the nudies out…"
I kind of discovered this theater by chance. They never ran ads in the newspapers.
Around 1969 a friend and I saw a couple of soft-core movies at the TODAY. The posted minimum age was 17 or 18 and my friend, an ex-Navy veteran of 28, could not believe he was carded!
The Today is seen at 3:38 in this Vivian Maier film.
This opened on February 28th, 1941. Its grand opening ad can be found in the photo section.

Note to Pro Leagues: No One Wants to Pay You
May 16, 2018 10:38 AM
by Brett Smiley
America's pro leagues are so transparent. Over the last year, it's been clear that the leagues are generally, at least publicly, not in favor of sports betting. They have claimed again and again that it may impair their games while simultaneously saying that legal, regulated betting is better for business, as opposed to an already-flourishing black market. But securing the benefit of a well-regulated legal market that they have identified is not enough.
The NBA and Major League Baseball have, for months, been lobbying individual states to include an "integrity fee," which the leagues claim will be used to pay for oversight and investigations should sports betting become legal across the country. The payout, a whopping 1 percent off-the-top of all sports wagers, is nothing more than a payoff. That 1 percent would equate to billions for the leagues to divvy up.
The NFL has been mostly mum on the topic, but the owners are seeing green.

Chinese companies operating in India should be alert and take steps to avoid being hit by anti- China sentiment following tension between the two nations over the border standoff in the Sikkim section, a leading official newspaper here warned today. An article in the Global Times called on Chinese firms to reduce their investments in India in view of the tension. Citing the sentiment that swept Vietnam in 2014 when many people were killed in riots after media reported that China fired water cannons at a Vietnamese vessel to frustrate moves by Hanoi to stop China's resource extraction in the disputed South China Sea, the article said violent attacks against Chinese interests may happen in India "if the two countries see even small-scale military tension at the border."
"Chinese companies operating in India need to be alert and take precautions to avoid being hit by anti-Chinese sentiment following tension on the border between the two countries."
Another article in the daily known for its nationalistic views tonight said, "many people believe Indian nationalism led to the country's independence from British rule decades ago but now it is gradually evolving into an internal factor behind the anti-Chinese sentiment, which is fuelled by ethnic and religious factors."
Quoting reports of Shiv Sena activists burning Chinese flags on the streets after China blocked India's membership bid of the elite Nuclear Suppliers Group (NSG), it said, "India's territorial issues can much more easily stir up local people's nationalistic feelings."
Also Watch:
Chinese firms, especially those in the retail and consumer electronics industries, should consider possible boycotts by Indians and ensure the safety of Chinese workers, the article said.
"Although India is a potential market, would-be investors from China should perhaps take a wait-and-see approach. In this context, new investment from China into India is likely to be reduced," it said. By 2015, accumulated Chinese investment in India reached USD 3.55 billion, and most of the Chinese firms doing business there saw a proportion of local employees of over 90 per cent, according to the article.
"The fact that Indian troops recently crossed into Chinese territory will not necessarily lead to a withdrawal of Chinese firms from India, but New Delhi has to safeguard the security of Chinese-funded institutions against possible anti-China riots," it said. To make itself a promised land for Chinese manufacturers, India needs to "spare no effort" to maintain the stability of its economic ties with China, "even if that is not an easy thing to do", the article said.
Since the standoff on June 6, when the People's Liberation Army destroyed bunkers of the India Army claiming the area belonged to China, Chinese media have carried several pieces blaming India for escalating border tension and "reminding" the Indian Army about the 1962 war.
Of the 3,488-km-long India-China border from Jammu and Kashmir to Arunachal Pradesh, a 220-km section falls in Sikkim.
Another article carried by China Military Online, the official website of the Chinese military, said, "Many Indians with vision say that it was a stupid option to let the China- India border issue escalate into confrontation because there is no winner in another armed conflict between two countries".
"But the trespassing by Indian troops showed us that quite a number of people in India still hold on to the 'Cold War' mentality, think from the geopolitical perspective, and choose to view China's road construction in its own territory as a 'threat' to India", it said.
"History tells us that the Chinese military has never lost its temper easily and never fired the first shot. It didn't even want to fight the 1962 Counterattack in Self- Defence on China-India Border at first, but wanted to settle the issue through peaceful negotiations because China and India used to be friends and had similar experience in fighting against imperialism and colonialism," it said.
"But those in India who still uphold 'confrontation' in this event should be fully aware of the fact that if a solution isn't reached through diplomatic or military communication or the issue isn't handled properly, another armed conflict between China and India is not completely out of the question," it said.
"Some Indians dare to provoke China and even claim that it's not 1962 anymore probably because they don't think China has military advantages at the border sector where the event took place. They mistakenly think that India is able to revenge itself by using the favourable terrain and its advantageous mountain division and air force on the border," it said.

God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble. 2 Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea, 3 though its waters roar and foam and the mountains quake with their surging. Psa. 46:1-3
Life in the Kingdom of God is based on a walk with God that is centered around finding our identity, and our sense of purpose and well-being in relationship with Him instead of in the things of the world. The will and purposes of God replace the former self-centered approach. That naturally results in a view of life that is radically different from our previous earthly, secular mindset. freeing us to see the hand and purposes of God in personal, national and global events.
* Here's a bottom-line thought. We have nothing to lose and everything to gain by viewing American and world events as a wake-up call. If Christian-Americans were to take this to heart the resultant repentance and new Life would make us more like the people God always intended us to be. This would extend the time of God's grace upon America; and/or empower us to stand firm and to serve Him effectively through difficulties. If such difficulties are only imagined by some (like me), we would have become a more authentic and vibrant Church and would have enjoyed God in an incredibly richer way. Regardless, we win. And regardless, it would be another proof that all things, even evil, ultimately serve the Lord our God! - Isaiah 46:9-10 - II Peter 3:8-9
