Lindsey's Great Bones
Small Cool Contest
Like this entry? Favorite it below!
- Name:
- Lindsey
- Location:
- Dallas, TX
- Square Feet:
- 670
- Division:
- Little
- What I Love About My Small Home:
- I love every inch of my home - the exposed brick, cement floors, large windows, and tall ceilings bring everything to the next level. Steve Urkel could look cool in here. The building's great bones are undeniable and the location is unbeatable. Being just east of downtown, the rooftop has an amazing view of the skyline. Not to mention the live music venues on every corner and the farmer's market down the street. And during the fall, the state fair is walkable (meaning I can justify that extra corny dog).
- Three of My Best Tips and Tricks for Creating a Successful Small Space:
- Buy what makes you happy! I like to have pieces that can be rearranged and swapped throughout my apartment, but still look cohesive. It keeps me from getting bored with a fixed arrangement. Small spaces can feel like a game of tetris, but remember not everything has to be pushed up against a wall. Most of all, having unobstructed pathways is key - pay attention to where and how you move. For example, there is a direct line from my bed to my espresso maker. Nothing is in the way. No one gets hurt.

Would love to live here!
Wow! Great Job! It's so perfect!!!
Wow I love it! Great bones and great style. What's with the weird angling of the dining room chairs though?
Your place has a lovely raw, edgy yet cozy vibe. love the bed platform and that sofa is to die for!
Agreed its very cool. I'm the same way with coffee, have to get it blind and in the dark.
I'm impressed and voted accordingly. Is that REALLY all of your clothes (hanging on the rack)?
I often wonder that many of us always have a dining table regardless of the space limitations (as opposed to a table that is only brought out occasionally or a counter only). When I was really tight on living funds, we ate on the coffee table. Thoughts?
A dining room table and chairs were the first decent furniture I bought so I could have guests for dinner.
Thank you! And no those are not all of my clothes, I wish I was that disciplined in my wardrobe! Most of them are tucked into the dresser at the foot of my bed.
I was lucky and inherited the dining table and chairs from my grandmother. I think the dining table is one of the essentials that transforms a house into your home. It is where everyone gathers, where conversations happen - I couldn't imagine my place without it.
Oooooh, the living room art - source?
That sofa alone deserves a vote. Swoon! I love the idea of the bed on the platform but personally I think I'd feel a bit exposed when in bed. I like a cozy little nook to hide in!
I made it! I used $10 all-purpose fabric from the craft store and a sample of Valspar Sailboat Blue interior paint.
I love it!
I especially like the large vertical artwork and arced lamp paired with the low-lying mid-century furniture. Looks great! Really balances the room.
I'm trying to make sense of the floorplan ... In the picture of the kitchen, what is behind that frosted glass? That area isn't on your floorplan, and it's a little confusing. Thanks!
Anyone who mentions Steve Urkel gets a vote from me, let alone a person mentioning him and having a dope apartment to boot! I love everything!
Your place is really cool, and your description makes me want to move to Dallas! :)
Your place is really cool, and your description makes me want to move to Dallas! :)
Wow, great space! Not only that, but you SO did it justice with that well executed decor. Clearly you are artistically inclined (hand made art in living room) and it shows in your style, nicely done! Is that couch custom made? So perfect! LOVE how your style complements such an awesome apartment!
I voted for this space mostly because of that blue painting. And you say you made it? Nice job.
By far my fav so far!
Love it! I wish I could vote more than once. I have family in Dallas, and I know the neighborhood you're talking about. I, too, am trying to live the walkable urban lifestyle, with a farmers market within walking distance, and I know how much harder that is to do in car-dependent Dallas. Bravo and best wishes to you!
I've shared your room :)
Love it, great bones but also great furniture and styling.
Great job. Looks right out of a magazine.
Wait, I thought everything is Texas was big. LOL. I lived there are 10 years, it's hard for me to imagine any small condo or loft. I guess things change....
Love your furnishings and how it all comes together. I'd love to do something like this in my (good bones) BK apt if I ever stayed in one place long enough.
Love to see Dallas pop up in this contest! We're near Fair Park too and I'm always so curious about the interiors of some of the apartment/loft buildings I drive by. Yours is fabulous!
Lindsey, you are an amazing decorator and creator!! I love your apartment, and wish you the most luck in winning this contest because you deserve it! xoxo
I love that couch so much too!
I know where you live! (How's that for a wired comment?) I'm from Dallas and know the building from your description. I LOVE the brick walls andartwork! Good luck!
i've definitely slept on that couch. love you Lindsey! You're gonna win!!!!!
I love your place! You are a talented designer and I really hope you win.
Let me in on the secret! I am moving to Dallas in a year and would LOVE to live in this building.

Britney Spears' infamously ugly bridesmaid dress at her assistant's wedding last year did NOT help keep the marriage intact -- because TMZ has learned, the assistant's husband has filed for divorce.
Britney famously appeared at her assistant Brett Miller's wedding in January 2011 -- sporting a notoriously hideous blue bridesmaid dress (above) -- and now, Brett's husband, reality TV producer Frank Lionetti, has filed a petition to end the marriage ... citing "irreconcilable differences."
According to the docs, Brett and Frank were married on January 28, 2011 -- and separated on February 14, 2012. They have no children.
And there's this -- Frank wants spousal support and attorney's fees from his estranged wife (reminder: she's an assistant).
It's unclear if Britney's dress was directly involved in the split.
Really, AZZHOLES, yer grasping at straws. Yeah, the marriage failed because of the UGLY BRidesmaid dress and considering all day today you were promoting "Say yes to the dress/Bridesmaid addition". BTW, it was SOOOOO ****ING SCRIPTED you'd have to be seriously DENSE not to see it. PATHETIC!!!!
This story is so try hard...
LOL....TV producer wants money from his (assistant) wife??...ha ha
Who's the skank that wrote this crap? How is that dress "hideous"? They are going to a wedding...in a church..., not to some nightclub. The only questionable part is that it looks like a summer dress worn in January, but, with the Cali weather, I suppose they can get away with it.
This has got to be one of the stupidest stories ever!!
SLOW NEWS DAY? Do you think your readers are this stupid?
He shouldn't get spousal support seeing as how he's the one leaving her. I guess men are just as capable of being gold-diggers. SMH
Is this a joke? What's next, a dating update on Britney's maid or yard guy?
A friend of mine got divorced. I'm pretty sure they played a Britney Spears song during his reception. Updates to follow....
Seriously?! First of all, totally lame story. Second of all, that dress looks pretty darn cute to me. Who's the idiot with no taste in the TMZ office?
Lighten up on the I'm-such-a-fashion police statements. Those dresses are fine. This story is not, it's stupid.
If I'm not mistaken it's the bride who decides what the bridesmaids wear and most time the man either agrees or makes suggestions also. Has TMZ sunk so low as to write this as news? Seriously? Like this was a joke right?
Which one of your so called "reporters" came up with this dumb azz article? TMZ, you have got to be kidding and this isn't even funny.
Don't drink and write.

click image to zoomMerida from the Pixar's 3D animation, Brave. Brave's Scottish princess Merida is rousing up quite a bit of talk lately with her fiery red locks—from how Pixar research engineers created the 3D strands to its popularity with the younger generation.
The styles of Disney's princesses from Cinderella, Princess Jasmine from Aladdin, Snow White, Sleeping Beauty and Bell from Beauty and the Beast have always been inspirational styles for children, and now the 3D computer-animated character, Merida, has joined the list with her wild and red texure. Red hair continues to be trending, seen on celebrities like Christina Hendricks, Florence Welch, Ahna O'Reilly, Emma Stone and Kristen Stewart, but now the trend has taken a whole new spin—and the "curls" part of the style is really what's catching the eyes of children.
Think of the braiding trend partly influenced by the Hunger Games' lead character, Katniss Everdeen, the feisty, independent teenager sent from her impoverished "District" to compete in the Capitol city. Merida's full head of curls could mirror the same popularity that ingited from Everdeen's signature side braid.
In a recent article posted on usatoday.com, Brenda Capman, one of the directors and contributors in conceiving the character, thought it was near-impossible creating the number of curls in 3D animation. According to USA Today, "Pixar has achieved cutting-edge computer animation in hair with Sulley's intricate fur in 2001's Monsters, Inc. and teenage superhero Violet's straight, long hair presented in the 2004 animation The Incredibles."
"We've never seen anything like Merida's curly hair," says Claudia Chung, the movie's simulation supervisor. "Technically, that was incredibly hard to achieve." The movie's animation creators say that it took six months to see if they could even create the long, flowing red texture and two and a half years total to perfect it.
According to Director Mark Andrews (also quoted in USA Today), Merida's personality and hair style played off each other well. "Merida had to have the wildest hair we could imagine. She's a wild spirit. She wields that curly hair in confidence. It's her identity."
Even though it was tough for the animators to re-create, do you think it's equally as tough to create on your younger clients who want to imitate the heroine's look? The influence from Brave will likely help spike interest in more curl creation and curl enhancement among kids and clients of all ages. MODERN Editors have already seen an ongoing demand for curly, wavy and textured looks and the proper cuts, colors and products to take care of these styles. Tell us on MODERN's Facebook page today!

AICN COMICS SPECIAL CON REPORT: Nutmeg reports from last week's WizardWorld Philly! Plus tons of pics from the con!
Hi all, this is Megan "Nutmeg" Adler, wife of AICN Comics commentator Matt Adler. From Thursday May 31st to Sunday June 3rd, we attended the Wizard World Philadelphia Comic Con (try saying that three times fast), and documented a spectacle of geekdom and entertainment for all to enjoy. With the assistance of my happy hubby, who took notes and added relevant details like a good little reporter should, I now present to you this report on the strange and surreal goings-on at this pop culture conflagration.
Comic conventions, ideally, are a chance for fandom to gather and celebrate their shared love for pop culture across all media, despite their four-color roots. Although the major comic book publishers have become more frugal in recent years, and reduced their presence to just a handful of conventions across the country, Wizard World Philly has still managed to create an event that provides attractions and entertainment for every corner of fandom. As with most conventions, there are rows and rows of vendors hawking some of the coolest and geekiest merchandise available at reasonable prices. I myself purchased a Wonder Woman t-shirt with a cape, and gloves with fingertips that light up, and wore them to the con the following day. Nope, I'm not ashamed to let my geek flag fly!
Nor was anyone else, apparently, as the craziest Halloween party was in action all weekend, with every character imaginable welcomed into the fray. Some of the costumes were very creative, and must have taken an enormous amount of time and effort to construct—to be honest, I can't imagine walking around like that all weekend! All ages were represented, from young kids, to people who may well be eligible for their AARP discount. But I'm sure it was worth it, as the convention did include an official contest, which was taken very seriously by all involved. I spotted a woman and her son dressed in some kind of giant mechanical contraption rushing by us in a panic, desperate to get to the competition on time.
One event I knew I had to witness was something known as Sci-Fi Speed Dating (Matt found the idea of such a spectacle too embarrassing to join me). Some entrants were dressed in costume, but not all—what they had in common was that they all came to meet new people, and perhaps find a chance at love. This was NOT a spectator event, however—I was permitted in as part of the press, but anyone else who wasn't there to participate was shown the door. Everyone was paired off and had 3 minutes to introduce themselves in hopes of finding their soul mate. At the end of the event, everyone places the numbers they like on a card and if the numbers match each other, it was revealed. If the numbers didn't match, then love just wasn't in sight.
The other major attraction at Philly is the celebrity guests. Not all of them are associated with comics, but it's still fun to get to meet people you grew up watching on the big and small screens. I met actors including Anthony Michael Hall (The Breakfast Club, and many other John Hughes films), Jason Priestley (Beverly Hills 90210), Kristy Swanson (star of the Buffy feature film), Lou Ferrigno (The Incredible Hulk), and Norman Reedus (Daryl in the Walking Dead).
I also got the chance to speak with some of the comic creators in Artist's Alley including Alex Saviuk (Stan Lee's Mighty Seven), Dan Parent (writer and artist of Archie), and Phil Foglio (writer and artist of Girl Genius).
But perhaps the highlight of the convention were the entertaining panels, in which fans got the chance to really interact with their favorite celebrities, and ask them the burning questions on their minds. On Friday, my idol Dean Cain, who I grew up watching on Lois and Clark: The New Adventures of Superman, held a panel and told us all about his career, from the NFL to Ripley's Believe It Or Not. He related an amusing story about his brief NFL career, in which after an injury ended his career in his rookie season, he was interviewed by a reporter who asked him if he thought he could have helped bring his team, the Buffalo Bills, a Super Bowl championship. He replied that naturally, every player wants to believe they can make that much a difference, which ended up being reported as "Cain Says He Would Have Brought Championship to Buffalo." He enjoyed many of the episodes for the Lois and Clark, but one of his favorite episodes is the marriage proposal. Presently, Dean has a number of projects starting up, and is a single parent to his 12-year-old son.
Overall, it was a loose and fun panel, with all manner of discussion. At one point, Dean mentioned that he had heard Richard Dreyfuss (star of Jaws), had originally been up for the part of Indiana Jones. My husband, the wiseguy you know as Matt Adler, piped up from the audience in a nasally, Richard Dreyfuss-type voice, "I HATE snakes!"-- an impression which Dean complimented him on.
Also on Friday was a Star Wars panel, featuring the likes of Peter Mayhew (Chewbacca), Jeremy Bulloch (Boba Fett), and Star Wars stunt coordinator Nick Gillard. Mayhew explained that Chewbacca's voice was created using a combination of recordings of a dog and a bear, but the crowd enjoyed when Mayhew gave his own impression of Chewbacca's voice. One fan expressed concern about how Mayhew's costume must have been, but Mayhew explained that the trick was to take it off after every scene, as it was relatively easy to get in and out of. Nick Gillard also shared his experiences on the set, and on the convention floor, he held interactive demonstrations for fans on how to fight like a Jedi in Jedi Light Saber training. The highlight (or perhaps lowlight) of the panel was a scary fan with green hair tied up in two ponytails, who was rather obsessed with Boba Fett and Chewbacca and proclaimed his enthusiasm repeatedly in a loud, screeching voice. Yikes. Bulloch particularly looked ready to flee the scene.
Saturday held probably the biggest panel of the entire convention—the Star Trek Captain's Panel. Assembled were all five captains from each of the Star Trek TV series—William Shatner, Patrick Stewart, Avery Brooks, Kate Mulgrew, and Scott Bakula. It was mostly banter amongst the actors who all knew each other well, but they also shared their experiences on the making of the show. Some of them also discussed the other roles they played outside of Star Trek, such as William Shatner's one man stage show, Patrick Stewart's theater experience, and Scott Bakula's role on Men of a Certain Age. To no one's surprise, William Shatner stole the show as by far the gabbiest of the captains, but Bakula and Stewart added their own brand of humor to the proceedings as well.
The final panel I attended was on Sunday, and featured Melissa Joan Hart of Sabrina The Teenage Witch fame. Melissa was attending the convention while pregnant with her third child, which I thought was pretty gutsy! Melissa spoke about her role, and some of the challenges she experienced on the set. Melissa had trouble getting used to the idea of a talking puppet which portrayed her cat, Salem, but explained she became more comfortable as time went on. When asked if she kept in close contact with her former castmates, she admitted she did not, but said she actually had closer relationships with the people behind the cameras. Melissa mentioned that she loved the outfits Clarissa wore in Clarissa Explains It All and wasn't as into the outfits Sabrina wore. Melissa currently plays the role of Melissa in the ABC Family show Melissa & Joey, working alongside Joey Lawrence. She and Lawrence were friends growing up and are like brother and sister to each other. Melissa says she enjoys her current role because out of all the characters she has played, it's given her the most opportunity to include something of herself in the character.
Overall, the convention was surprisingly well-attended, with some of the major stars being crowded by thousands of fans. That's of course great news for the convention organizers, although I confess to being disappointed that I was unable to get more than glimpse of luminaries such as Stan Lee and Chris Hemsworth. Still, if you're looking for a fun weekend and a chance to mix and mingle with your fellow fans, Wizard World Philly fits the bill.

If you bought advance tickets you waited an hour compared to being it when you go there. , 12:30pm then out of nowhere, Cult of Personality goes through the PA system. Well, its time to see this Punk guy. Get in line as Punk walks out this where the chaos starts. I get into the line where Wizard World told us to go. I am lucky to be the second non-VIP in line. 20 minutes into the line, we get a bunch of volunteers telling us, we are in the wrong line. To which, we say no, this where we told to go. We are about 50 to 75 people deep at this point. Eventually, its sorted out, we were right. After that, they move us and keep selling VIP tickets. They sold 300 VIP tickets for Punk. And the VIP people keep showing up after 1 pm which was their start time and jumping in line and its ok. At 2:25pm, well past the time for the regular folk are supposed to go in. The Wizard World people are talking refunds. There are still VIPs coming through. Eventually, they let us in. Punk is great with everyone. I thank him for keeping the company a float, he shakes my hand and smiles and signs my MITB DVD cover. Punk was going to sign til 4 pm and there must have been 100 plus people behind me to the point they cut off the line. So, people who pre-paid like me are probably out of luck. At this point wife is in line for her photo of Stan and Chris Helmsworth. She surprises me with a Raiders Poster signed by Karen Allen as my 1st Father's Day president. Nice. I do more shopping Silver Age Joker and Riddler comics with the giant Thanos figure are mine. Wife comes back at 3:45 and we go to dinner. Terrible dinner and we decide to go back to get her photo and hopefully make the 5:20pm train. We go there and no photo, but we are told they would mail them out, just go to the photo stand. We go there and here is the final bullshit thing. Wife is told, they will not mail it out and its an extra $15 to get a digital copy. This has never happened before, but this is a new company who doesn't seem to give a fuck about customer service. I ask what they are going to do with the photo? They say keep it. She pays for the digital while I try to hunt for it with no luck. Pissed off, we barely make the train and head home.

I had an ankle injury that left a hole in my talus bone. After filling the hole in with cartilage and bone from my knee, the surgeon wants to do another arthroscopic exam to see how it looks. I'm not really wanting another surgery. Couldn't they just do an X-ray to see what they want to see?
Holes referred to as "defects" in cartilage and bone such as you had can be treated with the technique you described: osteochondral autograft transfer or OAT. Osteochondral lesions refer to damage or defects to the joint cartilage (chondral) that go all the way down to the first layers of bone (osteo).
Holes in the osteochondral layer and/or loose fragments of bone and cartilage in the joint can cause pain, locking of the joint, and eventually osteoarthritis. To help prevent this from happening, treatment can be done with osteochondral autograft transfer (OAT).
OAT involves removing a plug of cartilage and bone from a healthy area (in this case from a non-weight bearing area of the knee) and transferring it into the osteochondral lesion (i.e., hole in the surface of the your ankle bone). The word "autograft" refers to the fact that you donate your own tissue for the procedure.
Efforts are being made to identify factors that might predict a good or favorable result. Surgeons might suggest using a second arthroscopic examination to evaluate the results of this procedure. Because it is an added expense and an invasive procedure, it is rare that a second-look arthroscopic exam is recommended. But quality of bone and cartilage graft evaluated using the second arthroscopy instead of X-rays or more advanced imaging like MRIs gives a much a better look at the actual results. The surgeon can see exactly how well the graft has taken, how much bone is growing, and any problems that might be developing.
A second-look arthroscopy does provide an opportunity to treat any problems present, especially mismatching of the joint surfaces. Fibrous adhesions causing impingement can be removed. And any uneven margins can be smoothed over. Any gaps where the graft meets the defect can be filled in.

It was only a few days ago that we brought you spy shots of the Fiesta-based Ford B-Max , but apparently that won't be the only model using the small hatchback's platform. New spy shots reveal that Ford is also preparing a new baby Kuga which we expect will debut late next year.
The yet-unnamed baby Kuga will be placed below the current Kuga and will be offered with the same engines and gearboxes found in the Fiesta line-up. However, there may be a more powerful version offered to compensate for the higher weight of the SUV or a more powerful engine for the optional four-wheel-drive version.
The baby Kuga's main target market will be Europe where it will take on models like the MINI Countryman , but judging from the fact that this test model was caught testing at the top of Pikes Peak, it may also be available in the US.

Cyndi Lauper sings at an airport in Singapore!
Tuesday, March 8th, 2011
Can someone tell me why I've never been lucky enough to even SEE a celeb at an airport, but some people get special performances?
Either way, even if Cyndi Lauper is so 1980, when she took over the airport mic in Singapore, it was pretty special.

I disagree about the Charlie's not the real Charlie part. It doesn't explain what happens in The Kids Stay In The Picture eps. At least Cece would know if she's the real thing or not, because in that episode, they (Cece & Charlie) seemed knew each other.
If the spoiler is true, I think the writer lost it's touch. Oh come onnnn.. it's the same old story as Sarah is not Sarah but Georgina, or Poppy and Gabriel the liar couple fiasco.
I get the feeling that if the spoilers are correct and Chuck lets Blair go be with the prince and we know the name of the episode is "The Wrong Goodbye" that they are going to have us find out something about the prince at the end of the episode that Blair doesn't know.
I hope that if Blair really does love him and wants to be with him that she isn't being scammed in some way with this engagement. The whole thing of him proposing just seems to sudden and desperate in my opinion.
Then we will have to wait until next season to find out what happened.

Walter Browne, who has won six US Chess championships has just authored a 460-page "Odyssey" containing 101 of his finest games and quite a bit of history of chess. Patrick Wolff gives it very high praise. It is titled "The Stress of Chess . . . and its Infinite Finesse" (New in Chess). Browne is one of the most intense players imaginable. Constantly in time trouble, he showed it with wild contortions that often created vicarious anxiety and a loss for his opponents.
The game today is brilliant: Yasser Seirawan (White) against Browne (Black), played in 1979, an English Opening in which Seirawan performed with abandonment and was punished in an evergreen game. Seirawan chose to attack with his king's knight on move 5 and Browne got equality by forcing it back. The star play of this game was on move 10, in which Seirawan elected to move his king toward the center in order to attack on the king's file, a dubious choice for the four-time US champ. Browne showed he is an untimid attacking player and that Seirawan should have championed a more conventional opening.

Daily Links: Get Out the Vote Edition
Published on - November 3rd, 2008 (by J.D. Roth)
You might have noticed that Get Rich Slowly has been conspicuously silent about tomorrow's Presidential election. There are reasons for that. I try to keep politics and religion out of this blog, except for in the Big Picture sense. Personal finance transcends that stuff. Everyone needs help with their money, Republican or Democrat, Mac or PC, Christian or Muslim or Jew.
Plus, I happen to think that both McCain and Obama are fine men and fine candidates, each with the best interests of the country at heart. I hate the vitriol that's spewed from each side toward the other. It's mostly senseless posturing and falsehoods. Thus, I'm pleased to break my political silence to present a single article on the subject: If you can't say anything nice… I love this piece. (And in the spirit of the article, I ask you to avoid negative politicking in the comments.)
Leaving politics behind for another four years: JLP at All Financial Matters has done some amazing number crunching that might prove instructive in light of recent stock market turmoil.
- The 50 worst months in S&P history (and what followed) — JLP looks at what happens to the stock market after a bad month. 60% of the time, the one-year returns following a bad month were positive. The five-year returns were positive 84% of the time. "Stocks for the long run!" says JLP. Amen.
- Next, he looks at what would have happened had you invested on the last day of September 1929, just before the stock market crash. It would have taken you 15 years to recover your money. Not good.
- But wait! There's more! Finally, JLP demonstrates what would have happened if you had used dollar-cost averaging throughout the Depression. Based on his parameters, an investor could have achieved an 8% return, even during the worst market of the last century.
One reason I love JLP's blog is that he has the knowledge and the skill to run the numbers like this. It's great stuff.
That's all for now, except for a final reminder for U.S. citizens: Be sure to vote tomorrow!
This article is about Spare Change
…or atheists, or hindus, or anyone else you didn't bother mentioning thereby alienating them. This is why you shouldn't even mention having an aversion — you only prove why the aversion is a good thing!
I really appreciate that you have avoided the politics. In this day and age, anytime we say something with a strong political leaning, we risk alienating almost half our readers (assuming that pf blog readers represent political demographics similar to the country).
Like most of us, I have strong leanings towards one party. But I am (I hope) respectful of views on both sides.
The one thing we can all say without risk of alienating anyone is how important it is to exercise our civic duty by voting tomorrow!
There will be always ups and downs in the market but in the long run nothing beats stock market. Stock market has averaged an annual 11% rate of return over the last 120 years. Cash has managed to return only 4% annually for the same 120 years. So it pays off in the long run to stick to the market.
A Dawn Journal
Hi J.D.
Just thought it was kind of funny after you had mentioned that you like to keep politics and religion out of your blog, your google ad underneath the title was for Prop 8 in California, which is a huge proposition about legalizing gay marriage that's up for vote tomorrow.
I know you can't have TOTAL control on what google ads are showing. I was getting the same ad on my blog about architecture – it was just kind of ironic..hehe!
Hi I am a MAC and I love GetRichSlowly.
Heh, I needed that. All the yelling has been depressing.
Great article link! I'm a strong supporter of one of the candidates and it's easy to get caught up in the race to win and basically say bad things about the other one. It was really simple but I felt very happy after reading the article.
Thanks for posting the link to the "If you can't say anything nice" article. That was truly refreshing. Not only is civility a rare thing in today's political discussions, but the exercise of finding something to respect and admire in someone you disagree with has got to be good for your soul!
It's a breath of fresh air not having to read about politics sometimes lately. I mean, I'm really into it and all, but it just gets to be too much at times.
It's refreshing not to have to read about politics here. If I want to read about politics, I'll go find a place. Thanks for keeping this place conflict-free!
It's a shame that a lot of people can't discuss politics without attacking the politicians themselves (who, to be fair, also attack one another).
Both major party candidates obviously love their country.
The anticipation of tomorrow's election is killing me. I think either way it goes, things are going to start changing big time.
i mailed my balot in last week… and yes your right on this i dont care who you vote for, if you are registered, GO VOTE. and great link.
I say thank you to JD for spending so much time policing comments. Last night on ABC news they had a piece on Facebook as an election tool, but all you have to do is look at Youtube comments to see how toxic the internet discussions can be.
I have 2 links to share
Factcheck.org, always a great place to sort through the rhetoric.
I also highly recommend the PBS Frontline special, Choice 2008. Great look at the candidates without getting into polarizing issues. It simple follows the path these 2 men took to get here.
It is nice to come to a site that avoids politics. It is everywhere. I never noticed the political ads.
What advise would you give to someone spending billions of dollars to get a job that pays $400,00 a year for four years?
we just got back from voting (nos. 19 and 20 at our precinct) where a friend working as a poll watcher said "oh, voting early" to which I replied, "no voting late" since over half of our county has already voted early…
But I think that whenever/however one votes, it's still a great feeling to be part of the most basic political process.
Damn elisabeth you must be in a small area. I cast an absentee ballot in MD last week and there must have been 50 people in line just to pick the ballots up on Friday. Everyone at the board of elections was saying that turnout looks like its going to be ridiculous this year.
I hadn't noticed the politcal ads either, but in all honesty I don't really look over the page when I'm reading the posts.
Thanks so much for the article link! Very much needed at this time. And I appreciate the non-political aspect of your posts (and also really don't notice the ads). I hope to reach my financial goals regardless of who the President is.
It's great to be in a place where we can be thoughtful of one another and just agree to disagree on some things. Or just agree to not bring them up in the first place! This year's election has been a real eye-opener for me, and I look forward to moving on from it.
I was going to write down a long rant over how much I hate politics and how whoever is voted in will not fix anything but will just maintain the 'status quo'.
This Mises article sums up my opinions perfectly: http://mises.org/story/3170
I need an asprin, this political process makes my head hurt.
Hi – It was really nice to read a refreshing political article that did not go into the negatives. Thanks for the link.
I want everyone to vote, not just the people who happen to agree with me. the more people involved, the more responsive and accountable our representatives have to be.
Plus, if you don't vote, you aren't allowed to bitch. I really look at voting as a responsibility to the body politic, not as a right. It is something i have to do, not that i choose to.
Thanks for keeping a clear head, and an honest coarse set, Captain JD!

Governor Terry Branstad wants a further review of state salaries.
He hopes the review would address gender pay equity and competitiveness concerns.
A new database shows Iowa employed nearly 33,000 women last year with a median salary of $46,000. That's 91 percent of the median salary of $50,000 for the 27,000 men in state government jobs.
The governor will begin talking with state employee unions next month to make efforts on new contracts scheduled to go into effect by July 2013.

The owner of Fort Myers Beach's Top O Mast was arrested Wednesday after being warned twice by the state about serving alcohol on the sand.
The Division of Alcoholic Beverages and Tobacco arrested Steve Strauss and charged him with one count of the illegal sale of an alcoholic beverage.
An ABT report indicates agents warned Strauss at least twice not to serve alcohol so close to water's edge.
Still, undercover agents were served.
Strauss was out of jail Thursday and we tried to ask him why he refused to comply.
"I'm not at liberty to say anything right now but you'll find out in a week or so," he said.
ABT says drinks need to be served within 19 feet of the building. But sources close to Strauss say the owner believes he's had the right to serve drinks out to water's edge for decades.
We reached out to Strauss' attorney to find out their side and whether they had filed any paperwork disputing ABT's definition of the serving line, but we were told he's unavailable this week.
Fort Myers Beach has been trying to regulate how far out beachfront bars can serve.
They'll wait to decide what that means for Top O Mast until ABT's case against Strauss is resolved.

Cool Gifts for Cat Lovers from Loyal Luxe
Even though my cats would be content to laze around on a ratty old blanket or hide out in a discarded cardboard box all day, I am totally infatuated with these adorable cat products by Loyal Luxe. (Pssst, Santa, the cats have been very good this year. We'll leave you some milk in a saucer.)
The line includes teepee and cabin-shaped cat houses and a faux bearskin rug. You can buy them online at Velocity Art & Design, but you should also visit Loyal Luxe's website, because they have video footage of kittens. Kittens! I also just discovered that they sell stylin' bowties for cats and dogs, too, which means my animal shopping is done for the year.

That is the weirdest looking cat.
These are also currently for sale on Fab for $21, and have been for a few days, the sale ends in 19 hours.
Also the teepee, cabin and various bow ties!
At least the cat isn't on the kitchen table.
It looks like the cat is sitting on a rug made from one of his litter mates. Creepy.
Haha...these comments are funny...especially because I think all cats look the same.
My cat Zilpha has this teepee and loves it!
Ooo, nice. Where can I get a genuine cat skin for my cat to sleep on?
I have 3 of these.. 1 for each of my dogs and one for my desk chair. I think they're adorable! I really want the cardboard cabin, but my dogs tend to think any paper product is a delicious treat.
@adventrising... LMAO!!!!!!
that cat looks like my coworker.
so, i suppose, does its bed...
Instead of a fake fur, which is a waste of good petroleum, get a genuine, real rabbit pelt. Available from Amazon or ecanyons.com. My cat loves his dearly. Avoid cat-colored pelts because it is very easy to step on a camoflaged cat.
I think the cat is cute...what kind of cat is it??
I think it's funny looking in an endearing way. And I think it's a singapura.

A friend just wrote, saying he'd like to can some pico de gallo. For those not familiar with that term, it's basically a fresh salsa of chopped tomato, onion, garlic, cilantro and chiles to which lime juice and salt may also be added. He wondered if there was any way to do that without boiling.
My answer was no. And behind my 'no' was the fervent belief that the what's so wonderful about pico is the exquisite combination of fresh ingredients, and further I'm thinking that in the middle of winter I'd rather have pico de gallo made from bad witner tomatoes where all the other ingredients are fresh than from any version of 'canned' I can think of. If it's not fresh, it's not pico.
But I did wonder out loud at how well pico de gallo would survive freezing, like a freezer jam. Not as good as fresh, but better than canned?
Any thoughts?

In his state of the union address last week, President Barack Obama continued to hammer at the so-called "healthcare crisis" the country faces. While the president's tone was tempered a bit as a result of the fallout from the recent Senate race in Massachusetts, he continues to push for a major overhaul of healthcare in America. Obama's version of "reform" includes, of course, a significantly enhanced role for the federal government. Integral to this restructuring would be a massive, national healthcare information database.
Before accelerating the move in this direction, the president needs to do himself what he admonishes the country and the Republicans in the Congress to do – Listen. If Obama did stop and listen to the views of American citizens regarding a massive, national healthcare information database, he would not receive a meek reply. He would instead hear a loud and clear, "NO."
A recent survey conducted by the respected and nonpartisan Ponemon Institute questioned some 850 Americans from diverse backgrounds and views and from 45 different states. The just-released study found that a whopping 75 percent of Americans do not support a database of private health information in the hands of the federal government. The vast majority of Americans – 85% according to the Ponemon survey – are not even aware that such a move is in the works; that such a proposal was in fact snuck into the health care legislation passed recently by both the House and the Senate.
Were the country aware that tucked into the legislation was some $3.0 billion to be used to create an electronic health record ("EHR") for every American, that 75% figure might be even higher. Even in the current environment, well more than half of those surveyed — 56% — want even stricter laws to prevent government from accessing their medical records without proper consent. More than two-thirds believe – correctly — that such a database will diminish their privacy rights.
For a peek at what could be expected to happen with thousands of federal bureaucrats compiling, maintaining, sharing, and otherwise manipulating health records of the most private nature imaginable on every citizen, simply consider what is occurring far too frequently even now, with the rapidly expanding number of electronic health information databases.
In November 2009, Health Net lost 1.5 million patient records but waited six months to disclose the incident. Not one patient, or a single law enforcement agency or government entity, was notified of the loss for six months. The disk that was lost not only contained personal information about nearly two million patients, but also private information on at least 5,000 physicians. Connecticut Attorney General Blumenthal has vowed to conduct an investigation into the Health Net debacle – something possible when dealing with a private company, but virtually impossible to pursue against the federal government.
Another health insurance company – Universal American Insurance — sent out 80,000 postcards to Medicare recipients in the same month last fall, with each patient's name and social security number appearing on the front of the card. The company has yet to explain how the social security numbers ended up on the postcards.
President Obama claimed in his state of the union address that "we still need healthcare reform" to protect Americans from "the worst practices of the insurance industry." What about protecting those same Americans from the mistakes which inevitably will occur and recur, once the federal government takes over the management of 300 million-plus medical histories? If the track record of the new health bureaucracies proposed by the same president who vows to protect us from the evils of private insurance companies, is anything like the track record of national security bureaucrats who let the Christmas Day underwear bomber slip through the multi-billion dollar national security database system, then we all have much to worry about.

The resistance to this useful service that would cut costs comes from a populace that announces to the world when they are on the crapper. While I acknowledge that the prospect of this information falling into wrong hands is scary, why not insist on better security. Demand that the database cannot be created without extreme security measures. While nothing can be made truly safe, the fact that the number of lives that can be saved by having access to medical data when and where needed. This will be a tool to cut down on doubling up of prescriptions and other abuses.

How oddly ironic that someone who gives their blog the name of "Barr Code" feels the need to pontificate on what is the inevitable, progress from paper to electronic. Most hospitals are already going this route, as is the government. But I am sure your grandparent's generation thought that automobiles should not replace the horse and buggy, and your parents thought that cell phones would never catch on. Better to keep destroying trees and making medical errors from outdated, illegible paper orders and charts. Join us in the 21st century Bob, it is not as scary as you think.
February 1st, 2010
7:58 am
Bob it is misinformation and drivel form empty headed pundits like you that continue to obscure the real crisis in US healthcare insurance and costs. First off costs, US per capita healthcare costs in 2007 were $6096. As a point of reference the closest country to us is Luxembourg at $5178. I do believe scale is a big factor in that one. If you take reasonable comparisons, Germany spent $3171, The UK $2560, France $3040, and Canada $3173. Now of course quality must factor in, for our money we rank number 38 in life expectancy, just behind Cuba, number 33 in infant mortality, number 1 in obesity, and medical debt is the single largest cause of bankruptcy in the US today. Sounds like a crisis to me, we spend the most and get far less than others who spend half as much. But hey, it does make the insurance companies happy because a large part of the difference is in their pocket in the form of profits and perks. Another note on insurance, most of the people that want to tell us all is well have no idea how much money they spend on insurance. I managed a 1000 person organization based in the UK with offices all across Europe, the healthcare costs to the business for that enterprise were less than $100 per person per month. When I moved back to the US I managed a group of 250 people and when I arrived our healthcare costs were around $1200 per month per person. Guess what got cut first? American business cannot absorb the costs of this system any longer. Maybe when people have to pay their own healthcare bill they will understand the magnitude of this crisis.
February 1st, 2010
8:09 am
It's GOING to happen, and ain't nothing Bob or the American people can do about it. It's already in the works and data corporations are racing for their position. Nothing like job security!

As a healthcare provider I support electronic records for the many reasons already stated, but those records belong to the patient, not the government, and the patient should control them.
February 1st, 2010
9:03 am
I am a conservative, but support electronic records. As it is, I write an annual letter to my various physician specialists letting them know that the others are presribing x, y or z. You might be surprised how often such a letter gets a response from, as example, my cardiologist, when I told him my spinal doctor had prescribed an anti-arthritic (that was subsequently withdrawn). It would be great if doctors had access to such records. I don't think I care to have the government have them, but I am not sure what difference it makes. As one poster said, this generation posts when it is on the pot.
February 1st, 2010
9:16 am
Didn't the on-line health records initiative all start with Bush? Where were your then Bob Barr? Is it o.k. for the GOP to champion this, but is real bad when the democrats champion it. This did not start with Obama, and stop trying to lay blame on him. Nixon tried to push health care reform in the 60s so it is not a GOP or democrat issue. You are such a hypocrit.
February 1st, 2010

I think we can all agree that "technology" has its benefits, but there is a cost; and the government has never been very good at what the private sector refers to as cost/benefit analysis. and this problem is not exclusive to the "healthcare crisis". the DoD has (often) procured expensive hi-tech weapons systems, at the expense of its greatest asset (soldiers). we have Predator drones and GPS guided ordanance, but we can't seem to find body armour or armour-plated Humvees for the "boots on the ground". as I said, technology can make some jobs easy, but in doing so, it often makes those who rely on it lazy (think "red light cameras" or). does any among us believe that when considering the cost of technology in terms of individual rights vs. the "rights" of the state (bureacracy), the state is going to come down on the side of the People?

Why is it curmudgeons hate information? Don't you realize data mining can yield scientific discoveries, create new products, create new jobs and prevent people for getting ill and suffering. And all of this can be done WITHOUT knowing the specific information of any person. Yes, it is done anonymously now, there is no reason to believe that will change in the future. But by all means Bob, go with statistics from a misleading question to further your agenda of sticking your head in a hole. It makes me wonder why you hate America.
February 1st, 2010
9:31 am
As a libertarian, I do agree with your concerns about protecting privacy and individual rights, but being a child of the 90s I am a supporter of the paperless route. I do not think the government should have access to all of our files, being that many people have psychiatric and other personal information that they do not want to get into the wrong hands. On the other hand however, I think that faster access to certain information could really save lives. If we had some control over the situation the electronic aspect wouldn't matter. A better route would probably be to have something like locked and unlocked files for specific versus generalized information, and have that information on large independently run databases (efficiently chosen by the invisible hand of the marketplace) rather than a large federal database. The general information and emergency information could be transmitted between providers but the more private information would remain locked at the individuals discretion.
February 1st, 2010
9:42 am
oh, and one more thing. does any among us think the government does not already have "files" on all of us? as DBA points out, it starts with the SSN and grows with Selective Service registration, drivers licenses, voter registration records. as stated, it's not so much a question of some ulterior motive or nefarious intentions that compels the government to keep records; it's more just a case of laziness. having a large database of financial, medical or criminal records makes it easier for those whose job it is to keep an eye on the rest of us (see: Patriot Act). what do all the chicken hawks like to say; "freedom is not free"? the cover charge for this party (free society) is your freedom. ponder that one for a moment.

My heavens! What? Another conservative pundit pushing misinformation and fear to the masses? It can't be so.
Private health insurance already comes between you and your doctor. And because each company sets its own rules, it's hard to imagine a more bureaucratic system. Some insurers decide which doctors you can see, which hospitals you can visit, and what drugs you can take and still be covered. And they may require copious paperwork before approving a treatment you and your doctor want. Health-care reform would standardize claim procedures to cut down on all of that. And it would protect you from other abuses, like being rejected for coverage or paying exorbitant premiums if you get sick.
Health reform should make it simple to get good information on health-care quality. You should be able to find data on infection rates, on doctors, drugs, treatments, and errors. Yet most states still allow doctors to shield a history of malpractice settlements. And infection rates, if reported at all, are often kept secret, which doesn't provide enough incentive for improvement.
What does work is disclosure. Pennsylvania, which passed the first statewide reporting law, remains the only state to require disclosure of all major types of hospital infections. And infections there have dropped 8 percent in the last two years.
Today, insurers pay a fee for every test, pill, consultation, and procedure—which means that the more care given, the more providers get paid. Even without questioning anyone's motives, it's easy to see how such a system is biased toward overtreatment. And indeed, studies show that those who get more care don't necessarily do better, and often do worse, as a result.
Under patient-centered reform, doctors, hospitals, and labs would earn a combined flat fee for managing an "episode of illness." They'd be rewarded for quality of outcome, not quantity of care, so their main incentive would be to work together to make you well. Electronic records would ensure that with your permission, any doctor could access your history. Together, those reforms would help improve care and reduce costs.
Disclosure and transparency allow people to pick the best provider. Bad providers lose business, etc, etc. The "cream rises to the top". This is an example of the type of "free market" solutions I would expect an American to support.
Do you?

The benefits far outway the shortcomings. Having your records available worldwide at the click of a mouse would be invaluable in case of an accident, and I hate filling out medical histories. The doctors can only diagnose what we describe and most of us aren't that articulate and are forgetful. It would also eliminate a lot of duplicate tests, not to mention mistakes. Names could be blocked for most access. The ability to nip potential epidemics in the bud should also prove invaluable. What if the records had been available when HIV broke out?

Wen Bob Barr is wrong, he is usually dead wrong, as in this case of medical database. He makes a completely irrelevant comparison with the Christmas Day bomber situation. It is actually much easier to safeguard one database by the federal government than thousands of databases by the insurance companies and hospitals. Where do losses of records with social security numbers happen? In the Social Security Administration? No, in all kinds of private corporations.

Look, if we get a national Rx database, then any hacker/witchdoctor would know exactly where to stick the pins in our own effigy dolls. He would only need 300 million dolls. We'd all be sitting ducks. Look, we have to stop the national database.
Maybe an Al Queda witchdoctor would simply stick pins in a Uncle Sam doll and a Lady Liberty doll. Maybe weapons of mass voodoo is the next 911.
Why doesn't Obama quit blaming Bush and do something? Doesn't Obama have any balls? I want a leader who accepts the keys to the executive washroom without complaining that the last guy in there left the seat up!

Folks, all of you have made good points for and against a government run medical data base; however, my opinion (for whatever that's worth) is…."we don't need any more government intrusion in our lives" This data base, on the surface, sounds like a great idea……and that's what it should remain, just an idea. We have too much mismanagement, corruption, fraud, hacking, briberies, payoffs, etc., etc., in our federal government to let something like this go forward. Me thinks it is only a device for medical care panels to make life/death decisions and, I know, I sound like one of those conspiracy nuts but think about it……our present democratic majority wants this country to turn to socialism What better way to control our lives than through our medical records? Bob Barr, a Great American, thanks again for your insight.

@Real Athens – Under patient-centered reform, doctors, hospitals, and labs would earn a combined flat fee for managing an "episode of illness." They'd be rewarded for quality of outcome, not quantity of care, so their main incentive would be to work together to make you well.
Or maybe their main incentive would be to pay to play, get priority picks on the, most likely to improve patients, or simply refuse to treat the elderly, chronically ill, etc.
None of these problems were an issue when people were responsible for paying their own way at the doctors office…heard an ad the other day for car repair insurance…the sheeple will be fleeced by insurance agencies…the middle men of the world.
On Mr. Barr's blog; agreed electronic record keeping is the way of the future, agree that the Feds are not the right ones to do it. We need a "Clear Pass" plan for people to purchase the mass storage of their records for viewing by the medical professionals treating them. There is a benefit, the individual should choose the risk.

"our present democratic majority wants this country to turn to socialism"
That is simply not true and you only expose your own … (insert reason here) until you can move away from this propoganda. Until you can move away from the idea that Washington is proposing a move to socialism or, egad, communism, you can't be taken seriously. FYI: Both are very different than each other.
Ask Bob Barr: Personal freedoms eroded significantly more under the Bush Administration than what has occurred on the Obama watch. That is the truth.
Additionally it was the Bush Administration who initially "nationalized" or bailed out:
The Bear Stearns Comapnies, Inc 2008
Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac 2008
Goldman Sachs Group, (Government approved bailout by Berkshire Hathaway) 2008
Morgan Stanley (Government approved bailout by Bank of Tokyo-Mistubishi) 2008
American International Group, Inc 2008
Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008
Citigroup Inc. 2008
General Motors and Chrysler LLC 200 (thought technically not a bailout but a bridge loan by the U.S. Government

It seems that "The American People" have more spokespersons than God, who seems to have way too many. Of course, it is possible that some of those spokespersons are really only speaking for themselves and Neil and Rush and Sean and Bill and the Savage. Bob, I am sure, speaks for his wife, if he has one at the present time.

Yes, these problems were/are "an issue" within our medical system and have been for awhile, that's why we are here discussing this today. You're going to formulate your policy decisions and opinions based on an ad you heard on the radio? Created by an advertising agency? Do yourself a favor, turn off the radio.
As far as "maybe" this and that … It must be a terrible thing to live in fear.
One more thing, if you're going to claim Ayn Rand's philosophy as your own, learn it.
Rand, a noted eugenicist would have definitely supported "pay to play … priority picks on the, most likely to improve patients, or simply refuse to treat the elderly, chronically ill, etc.".
February 1st, 2010

@Real Athens, the point about the ad, was what once was a way to protect yourself from major catastrophe is now a way to pay as you. If some shill is pushing car repair insurance, it is only a matter of time before some bright bulb in DC decides it should be required for all to have. " Car repairs are the #1 cause of bankruptcy this week…"
I dare say that 90% of American's with heath insurance, pay more to their insurance provider annually than they would pay to their doctor. We have brainwashed out people with withholding tax, insurance deductions, etc. until many do not even understand that they could and should take care of themselves.
My considerations were not about living in fear, I do not. They were about poking holes in your Utopian nanny state propaganda. Sorry if it was hard for you to keep up.

Subject: Clunker Math and Obamacare
The math sounds right to me. You could say it recognizes first
year only, but even so makes a point: many of those cars would have been
off the road over time through natural attritation.
I'd like to share the following with you:
Clunker Math:
A clunker that travels 12,000 miles a year at 15 mpg uses 800
gallons of gas a year.
A vehicle that travels 12,000 miles a year at 25 mpg uses 480
Gallons a year.
So, the average Cash for Clunkers transaction will reduce US
gasoline consumption by 320 gallons per year.
They claim 700,000 vehicles so that's 224 million gallons saved
per year.
That equates to a bit over 5 million barrels of oil.
5 million barrels is about 5 hours worth of US consumption.
More importantly, 5 million barrels of oil at $70 per barrel
costs about $350 million dollars
So, the government paid $3 billion of our tax dollars to save
$350 million.
We spent $8.57 for every dollar we saved.
I'm pretty sure they will do a great job with our health care,

While I generally agree, there is a database on who had car insurance and with whom, they check it each year when I buy my tag. How is this different?
The only thing positive I will say about health databases, is that after Katrina hundreds showed up at the Anderson Clinic in Houston only knowing that they "had cancer". Treatment had to begin from zero. Many lost their life because of it.

Ayn Rand was right, I have a better idea… why don't we speak for ourselves instead of channeling the spirit of some dead malcontent? That's not to say some of her observations were not valid, but she was, first and foremost a purveyor of fiction. I place no more weight on the observations/conclusions put forth by Rand, then those put forth by Charles Dickens, Bruce Springsteen, or Rush Limbaugh. It would be nice to exist in a world where performance matters and "rugged individuals" are punished/rewarded for taking risks, but that world does not exist beyond Atlas Shrugged. No Virginia, there is no Santa Claus.

Your's is a straw man argument. "I dare say" is no more basis for argument than …?
In absence of extreme illness, no doubt, people pay more to insurance companies than doctors — the point exactly. A single male, with no dependents, pays $542 a month to Blue Cross/Blue Shield for catastrophic coverage with a $10,000 deductible. You tell me if that is fair? That is as cheap as it gets in Georgia if you're not in a employee plan discounted because of a larger pool.
"Utopian nanny state"? Read my post, I was talking about real, "free market" solutions. You regurgitate spin from Boortz — first place I heard the term "nanny state" — the ultimate advertiser. Additionally, you offer no counterpoint or solutions only the jargon of pundits bought and paid by corporations and the Republican party.
I'm sorry you can't think for yourself and can only "shill" the propaganda fed to you by the very institutions Ayn Rand reviled.

A True Patriot: "We have too much mismanagement, corruption, fraud, hacking, briberies, payoffs, etc., etc., "
Why limit yourself to the Federal government/ Hasn't today's businesses and industry exhibited the same traits?
Bob, just how are the records of the Veteran's Administration kept? They have been recognized as the best run health care business around and have used a "universal" electronic patient database for years. Instantaneous health records , under proper security, has made it one of the most efficient systems. Oh, and by the way it's socialist….by many consevative definitions!
I do not take the security of our records lightly. I called my doctor's office once and the nurse/phone operator asked me to identify myself, which I did by name. She then asked me if my SS# was…. I was pissed and demanded to talk to the doctor immediately. I never heard her on the phone or saw her in the office again!

I am not surprised. being from the party of No I would expect no less from you than a No on any system that the governmant would use.
Under your brand of thinking " I use that word loosely", there would not be a "massive database" of information about how much money I have earned….or gee medicare…lions and tigers and bears …oh dear.what is the difference , the governmant having a clearing house and improving medical care …or having multiple insurance companies having the data…and adding 30% to the cost of duplicating every cost? We should have a single payor system. Period.

@True Patriot
Leave the management of the health records database up to a competent DBA – me ) I am definitely probably going to be headed in that direction, getting in on the ground floor. Most of you have no idea of the advantages of having such a thing. It will uncover many things about healthcare and medicine and will allow for the monitoring of trends and other metrics and will provide for better decision making at the professional and governmental levels. Someone hit the nail on the head in identifying private corporations as bigger compromisers (and peddlers) of our personal information. I am amazed…some of you have no problem with the government sniffing your phone and internet lines if you think it'll save your life from so-called terrorists. However you seem to have a big problem with it having a view into your health records when it may help save your life from cancer. Maybe you are ashamed of the case of gonorrhea you caught while sleeping around on your old lady? ..or the 12 different active Oxycontin prescriptions from 8 different doctors?…I wonder..

There is another issue people are missing in the law. The federal government is not going to create the DB. Just as in providing federal medical coverage, it will actually be done by the states. There will be one per state, and it will start with the medicaid, medicare, and S-CHIP participants.
For a state like GA, that is about 1/3 of the total population. The federal government will establish the standards (someday) and the state's will implement them. The issue is the standards don't exist yet, the systems don't exist yet, and hospitals and other providers have incompatible systems. This will take a long time.

Folks, this is truly a non-issue. Nowadays, mainly because of security concerns, most employers are requiring some type of security clearance investigation be conducted on potential employees. Now, for those who don't understand the depth of security clearance investigations, they are intense. Investigators look for anything, and I mean anything, that could potentially cause concern. That includes medical concerns (illnesses, debt, claims, etc..). Guess what folks, databases already exist, in some form or another. As one poster already noted, some states are already making the transition to electronic medical records. You know Mr. Barr, until your followers come up out of their holes, and see progression for what it is (A better America), they will be left behind to waddle in their own propoganda. Medical databases already exist and will be the future of individual medical information.

Congratulations, Bob. You have gone the full Ludd. How about a hatchet so you can smash the looms, then we can all go back to making cloth in our homes. Full employment!
Seriously, the idea of foregoing data and its uses is beyond stupid. Get rid of the incentives for employers and insurers to look at it. Make use of it in research to find out what works — you can draw far firmer conclusions with 300 million records than a few thousand.
Most important, however, put that data into your own hands. If a 20-something sees the data showing that they're heading to a heart attack at 40, their personal data that they control, and if they're given the information needed to prevent it, they can take responsibility. And save a bundle.
Anyone who has spent any time with computers knows that data is empowerment. Having the data makes businesses run better. Having your own data helps you make improvements in your life.
You seem to like people powerless and ignorant. Why?
Only a Luddite would think differently.

In my wallet is a summary of any important information. The government has already had a slip with their web page where they added names to their list. Grow up and take care of yourself! You'r an embarrassment to your ancestors who managed just fine with being coddled like babies. American's have lost their backbone, but my guess is we're going to find it the hard way.

I always said that, if Obama cured cancer, the righties would come out in favor of cancer. Here we have Bob Barr doing essentially that.
Vlee Brown, sometimes people are unconscious when they go to the emergency room. They can't tell the doctor anything. And some people are mentally incompetent for one reason or another. Some people are children. Some have Alzheimer's. Some just don't have much upstairs. They don't deserve to die for that.

February 2nd, 2010
2:10 pm
you know, all this muck (blogging) kind of assumes the healthcare enterprise (private sector OR government) exists to ensure the health of the American people. ergo, these databases are not created to guarantee John Q. Public won't die from cancer. these databases exist to make the job of "managing" the administration of healthcare easier for the bureaucrats. so weather it is some pencil-pushing civil servant working for Health and Human Services (MEDICARE) or some bean-counter/acutary trying to squeeze a couple more bucks out of a customer's premiums; the "end game" is not quality/affordable healthcare. I have to side with Bob on this one. about 5 years ago my provider tired to get me to enroll in their online patient information system. I refused. I then started to receive calls suggesting "check ups" and "annual physicals". I procure healthcare when I need it, not when my doctor suggests it. live healthy or smoke and drink like there is not tomorrow, as Jim Morrison said; "no one gets out alive".

The government could not possibly be any worse than the private medical insurers and their data bases. These data bases are used to deny citizens coverage for claims, coverage period. Often information is forwarded without the needed consents and getting vital info to the MD and hospitals when needed, is almost impossible.
Medicare has its own database of lots of info, but I have never had a problem getting the care and coverage my retired mother needs when the proper authorization was given.
I think all of the "NO" business has to do with the snow job the repugs have done on the American public. Most of the public's healthcare ills are caused by lack of private insurance or private insurance that takes your money and "runs". No government will ever be so big as to stop all the sheisters in the citizenry or in big business.

Last year Duke Hospital had to turn away more than 900 patients because of lack of capacity. But now, the new Duke Medicine Pavilion is set to open and will provide more space.
The nine-story building has a $596 million price tag, but that price tag comes with 160 beds for critical care and 18 operating rooms.
It also links with the cancer center.
Rooms overlook courtyards and have extra space for equipment and family members.
The Duke Medicine Pavilion was designed with patients and their families in mind.
"They wanted access to natural light," said Dr. Kevin Sowers, president of Duke University Hospital. "They wanted a more pleasant waiting room because many of these folks are sometimes here for a long period of time with us in the intensive care setting, so clearly that became an important part of our design process."
The Duke Medicine Pavilion will open to patients on July 27.
To help celebrate its opening, Duke will be hosting a Community Open House and Health Fair for the public on June 15 from 11 a.m. until 3 p.m. This event will offer interactive healthy-living activities, including health screenings and risk assessments, nutrition education, exercise demonstrations, CPR training, massage and fun activities for kids.
