In part 1 of this blog post we discussed how EMR software allows healthcare organizations to make the best care decisions for their patients and improve their bottom line. In this blog post we will further discuss how healthcare organizations can use and benefit from EMR software.
Electronic Medical Records System & EMR Software
Healthcare organizations use EMR software to manage the business activities of their organizations, store medical records, or even drive an entire medical practice. It's time to unite your healthcare management systems and documents. A quality document management company's electronic medical records system allows you to scan, store, organize, and retrieve critical patient records quickly and easily. Eliminate the time you spend locating and delivering charts while at the same time improving patient care by making vital health records accessible from any location – 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
EMR software converts paper files to electronic documents and automates manual processes. Content outside of your EMR – paper, forms, faxes, graphics, photos, and clinical images – can be hard for an EMR to include in a patient record. EMR software captures these missing pieces of the patient record with ease so you can extend interoperability within and between hospitals. After integrating your electronic medical records with EMR software, you'll never need to go anywhere else to get what you need.

Eau Claire (WQOW) - The weather has produced an open question... How would it affect the fishing opener this weekend? Friday, we have at least one answer, the governor has put his plans on hold.
The annual governor's fishing opener has been delayed because of more than a foot of snow in Bayfield County. The state says the governor hopes to reschedule soon.
One local business owner says this will be the strangest fishing opener he's ever seen. Mike Buroker, the owner of Buroker's Taxidermy Bait and Tackle, says this is his 28th fishing opener. In all his years running an Eau Claire bait shop he says he has never experienced a fishing opener quite like this.
Buroker says,"I've seen it snow on opening day but I've never seen it snow like this before opening weekend."
He says this is nothing compared to the lakes up north that are still frozen. "I feel pretty lucky that we have open lakes here. That'll keep the guys home, they'll fish around here this weekend. I've heard stories that people are canceling their weekends up there and postponing their trips," says Buroker.
Even with the steady flow of business streaming in, Buroker says, "A normal opening weekend, would be crazy. From beginning to end it would be people out all day"
For some of the most avid anglers, even the frozen lakes won't stop them from taking on the northern terrain.
"I've fished since I was really little and my grandpa owns a resort up there and stuff and this is the first time, back to 63' that they've had ice on the lake. So that's going to be cool, we're going to try and just fish along the edge," says angler Chase Unbehaun.

Friday, May 22, 1970: St. Paul cop slain in ambushPosted on March 1st, 2006 – 7:17 PM
By Ben Welter
The first newspaper account of the fatal shooting of St. Paul police officer James Sackett in 1970 appeared on Page 1A of the Minneapolis Star. Two years later, the woman who admitted placing the false call that lured Sackett to the scene was acquitted of murder charges. On March 1, 2006, a 55-year-old pipefitter from Chicago was found guilty of first-degree murder in Sackett's death and was given a life sentence.
St. Paul policeman shot, killed on false call
By PAUL PRESBEY
Minneapolis Star Staff Writer
A young St. Paul policeman answering a false call to assist an expectant mother was shot and killed in an apparent ambush in the Summit-University district shortly after midnight today.
|James Sackett
Police officials called the death of James Sackett, 27, father of four small children, including a son born three weeks ago, "deliberate, cold blooded murder."
The police dispatcher received a call at 12:04 a.m. from a woman described as "having a young voice" asking for a squad to take a pregnant woman to a hospital.
"My sister is having a baby," the woman said. "She's in labor now and the pains are two minutes apart. Get a squad car here right away."
The caller first gave the dispatcher only the intersection, Victoria St. and Hague Av., but when asked the address said it was 869 Hague Av.
The only car free to take the call was car 327 with Sackett and his partner, Glen Kothe, assigned to traffic duty.
At 12:14, the dispatcher received a frantic call for help from Kothe, reporting his partner had been shot. Squad cars were rushed from all parts of the city to surround the area, but a two-hour search failed to turn up a suspect.
Kothe reported that he and Sackett went to the front door of the darkened address on Hague Av. And when they failed to get an answer to their knocks he left Sackett at the front door while he went to the rear.
He had just reached the back of the house, Kothe said, when he saw a flash, and heard the report of a gun and then a scream from his partner. He ran to the front of the house and found Sackett unconscious on the sidewalk in front of the steps.
Kothe said he thought he saw a movement on the porch and shot twice with his service pistol. The bullets lodged in a door jamb.
As other officers arrived and Sackett was rushed to St. Paul-Ramsey Hospital, police entered the house and found that while a pregnant woman lived there, she was not expecting her child for some months. The occupants denied calling the police.
Later police found a slug from a high-powered rifle, "maybe a .30 caliber or less," inside a hollow porch post. Police believe the assassin fired the fatal shot from across the street on the southwest corner of the intersection. The house where the officer were answering the fake call is located on the northwest corner.
The bullet struck the victim in the left chest and passed out through the right shoulder.
Sackett had been on the force a little less than two years.
Sackett is survived by his widow, Jeanette; four children, James, Jr., 6; Jennifer, 4; Julie, 15 months, and Jerel, three weeks; his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Melvin Sackett; a brother, David, and a sister, Mrs. Corrine Nowicki, all of St. Paul.

Thousands of federal workers could be furloughed if Congress does not pass a 2011 budget or 2010 budget extension by midnight Friday.
A shutdown would mean about 800,000 federal employees would not report to work.
Under a shutdown, federal employees cannot work because they cannot be paid. Without a budget, government contracts also cannot be paid, so contractors could be out of work too.
People who filed their taxes on paper could also see a delay in getting their federal tax return.
Political analyst Dr. Waymon Burke said by law, non-essential government workers cannot work in the event of a shutdown, which means IRS workers wouldn't be able to process paper returns.
Exceptions include employees whose jobs involve the safety of human life and protection of property, like the troops serving overseas.
"Most of the people who work on the [Redstone] Arsenal would not go to work Monday morning," Burke said. "The Social Security offices, Veterans offices, national parks, museums on the National Mall, all of those would close down."
A treasury spokesperson said if you e-filed your taxes and opted for direct deposit, you should not see a delay in receiving your return. If you haven't filed your taxes yet, the deadline is still April 18th no matter what happens.
One service that would not be affected is sending and receiving mail. The United States Postal Service is not funded by the government so operations would continue as normal.
"It's going to affect a lot of people in this city, if the government closes down, because we are a Federal town," Burke said. "And most people here are employed by the government or by a government contractor."
The last time a government shutdown happened was under the Clinton administration in 1995. It lasted 21 days.
Once congress does pass a budget, they will have to decide whether to pay employees for the time they were forced to have off, but that does not include government contractors, who often have to absorb the financial hit themselves.
Wednesday, Congressman Mo Brooks said he's working with others in the house to make the necessary budget cuts and keep the government running while preventing a federal bankruptcy.
"We'd be paying interest on the national debt, we'd pay entitlements, and nothing would be left for national defense, nothing left for NASA," Brooks said.

LOS ANGELES • Comcast's $16.7 billion deal to buy the remaining half of NBCUniversal ahead of schedule represents a resounding vote of confidence in the future of TV, even as the growth of Internet video reshapes the entertainment landscape.
The decision was driven largely by Comcast Corp.'s belief that it would end up paying substantially more for General Electric Co.'s remaining 49 percent stake if it had waited until 2018, as had been envisioned in 2011 when the nation's largest cable TV provider acquired majority control of NBCUniversal.

"We didn't have to do this now. We chose to do it," Comcast CEO Brian Roberts said in a Wednesday interview on CNBC. "We're bullish on the businesses we're buying."
Shares of both Comcast and GE increased Wednesday following the late Tuesday announcement.
The flagship NBC network, once seen as the deal's albatross, has been on the turnaround. Broadcast TV revenue rose 7 percent last year, even after excluding the Super Bowl and the Olympics. Theme parks, the Universal Pictures movie studio and pay TV networks such as USA and SyFy have grown, too.
As the advertising market has rebounded with the economy, so have the fortunes of NBCUniversal and other media companies such as CBS Corp. and ABC owner The Walt Disney Co. That made the latest transaction seem like a savvy one at a relatively modest price.
"I think the television business has turned out to be much more powerful as an advertising medium than people were thinking five years ago," said Jonathan Taplin, a professor specializing in digital media at the University of Southern California. "Comcast made a really smart move in believing that TV would continue to be a really important part of the advertising picture for years to come."
When the deal was first announced in late 2009, NBC's audience ratings were sagging badly, raising doubts about the future of the broadcast pioneer that once boasted stars such as Johnny Carson, Jerry Seinfeld, Bob Hope, Milton Berle and Tom Brokaw.
More recently, though, NBC has bounced back with a new hit in "The Voice" and has a consistent ratings leader in "Sunday Night Football" during the fall and early winter. By last fall, NBC could boast for the first time in a decade that it was drawing the most viewers in the 18-to-49-year-old demographic prized by advertisers. Overall, NBC still ranked behind CBS and ABC, but at least it was no longer bringing up the rear in fourth place, as had been the case for several years.
Higher ratings translate into more advertising revenue, even though Comcast gets two-thirds of its revenue as a cable-TV and Internet access provider. NBC's improved success from TV shows also figures to bring in higher licensing fees from the Internet video services run by Netflix Inc. and Amazon.com Inc.
NBC's turnaround is one of the main reasons Roberts wanted to take complete ownership of NBCUniversal now.
"We thought that we would have to pay more later," Roberts said in an interview Tuesday with The Associated Press.
"We really have known we wanted to buy 100 percent from the beginning of the transaction. We wanted to learn the business," he added. "We feel that now is an opportune time."
The deal, expected to be completed by the end of March, values NBCUniversal at $34 billion, not including $5 billion in debt. That's about 13 percent higher than two years ago, when Comcast's investment valued the company at about $30 billion, also excluding debt.
Compare that to CBS's stock price, which has more than doubled, or Disney's, which has risen 41 percent, since then. That makes the transaction for the rest of NBCUniversal a steal.
Several analysts said Wednesday that Comcast got a great deal. Analyst Matthew Harrigan at Wunderlich Securities said GE "mispriced" the $16.7 billion deal.
But Comcast's chief financial officer, Michael Angelakis, said in a conference call Wednesday that GE got a good deal as well, adding that GE gets a lot of cash to invest elsewhere. In a separate call, GE Chief Financial Officer Keith Sherin said the company thought it was "an attractive exit price."
Complete ownership will let Comcast benefit more from the rising price of sports rights and other TV programs. It avoids solely being in the uncomfortable position of passing those costs onto customers. And long-term rights deals between the TV networks and their cable and satellite distributors have ensured the importance of TV, even as Web video is on the rise.
Diversification was one reason Comcast bought a majority stake in NBCUniversal two years ago.
Jonathan Atkin, an analyst with RBC Capital Markets, contrasted Comcast's fortunes with the woes of Time Warner Cable Inc., whose shares have plunged 13 percent since it reported in late January that profit margins would be squeezed this year by higher programming costs.
"Look at what happened to Time Warner Cable," Atkin said Tuesday. "Comcast, as a slightly more diversified conglomerate, is less exposed to that."Next Page >

Breast Lift + Implants
With the passage of time, some women not only notice the loss of shape, perkiness and contour to their breasts, but also the loss of volume.
A breast lift with implants, or augmentation mastopexy, rejuvenates and lifts breasts to a more youthful position and at the same time increases breast volume with the addition of a high cohesive silicone gel implant.
It therefore not only reshapes and rejuvenates the sagging breast, but also increases cup size. Essentially, it is the combination of a breast augmentation and breast lift all in the one operation. The procedure itself is however, somewhat more complex and hence requires more planning preoperatively. It can though lead to some of the most spectacular results!

Excessive Jingling of Dog Tags
A pet peeve worth stopping
Please note comments are moderated. After being approved your comment will appear below.
Submitted by Dale Wyrick | August 5 2009 | Permalink
There are personalized dog tags that are made of aluminum and coated in a printed plastic. These tags are really light and do not make the loud noises you talk about.
My labs wear tags from www.DogTagArt.com and I have been very pleased with the tags. The say the tag is guaranteed to be readable for life and they have some pretty stylish and funky designs.

I have to say I don't like the noise much either but have found it invaluable since we adopted our terrier mix munchkin a year ago. It turns out she has siezures and they usually happen in the middle of the night so the jingling helps me wake up if she's having one. Medication has helped but not eliminated them so I'm thankful for my warning jingles! Becky

Hi Karen,
In addition to tag noise, TagPodz will also prevent tag wear and tag loss by keeping tags securely encased on the dog collar, and eliminate unsightly fur staining. We will be launching TagPodz this spring (2013). For more information, check us out at www.macazu.com

The Words Of Others
From the Egyptians to the Greeks, to the Buddhists and the Hindus, the soul was considered a pre-existent entity which took up residence in a succession of bodies, becoming incarnate for a period, then spending time in the astral form as a disembodied spirit, but reincarnating time and time again. Each religion had its own belief that the soul existed as a part of man and was immortal. Somewhere between Judaism and Christianity, the west lost the ancient concept of reincarnation.
The world has always had inspirational leaders in a variety of fields of expertise. Many, such as, Aristotle, Leonardo di Vinci, Dante, Shakespeare, Benjamin Franklin and even General George Patton, were avid believers in reincarnation and spoke or wrote of their stance on the soul's immortality and life after death. Unfortunately, most of these writings are little known and somewhat difficult to locate. Because of the important content, I would like to share a few of them here, with you.
Henry David Thoreau wrote in "Letters":
Albert Einstein wrote in "The World As I See It":
Walt Whitman, in "Song of Myself", wrote:
Thomas A. Edison wrote in "The Diary and Sundry Observations":
Ralph Waldo Emerson, nominalist and realist, wrote:
Carl Gustav Jung, considered the founder of analytical psychology initially avoided addressing the possibility of reincarnation. Later in life he began his exploration and wrote:
"This concept of rebirth necessarily implies the continuity of personality. Here the human personality is regarded as continuous and accessible to memory, so that, when one is incarnated or born, one is able, at least potentially, to remember that one has lived through previous existences, and that these existences were one's own, i.e., that they had the same ego form as the present life. As a rule, reincarnation means rebirth in a human body."
"What happens after death is so unspeakably glorious that our imagination and our feelings do not suffice to form even an appropriate conception of it... The dissolution of our time-bound form in eternity brings no loss of meaning."
Marcus Tillius Cicero, (106 B.C. - 43 B.C.) is, to this day, considered the master of ancient Roman literary and oratory style. Cicero, an active Roman politician, is also considered one of the great philosophers of that time. In his composition, "On Old Age", he writes:
"The soul is of heavenly origin, forced down from its home in the highest, and, so to speak, buried in earth, a place quite opposed to its divine nature and its immortality..."
"It is again a strong proof of men knowing most things before birth, that when mere children they grasp innumerable facts with such speed as to show that they are not then taking them in for the first time, but remembering or recalling them."
Julius Caesar, a contemporary of Cicero's, concluded that the Celts were fearless warriors due to their belief in reincarnation. Caesar wrote:
"They wish to inculcate this as one of their leading tenets, that souls do not become extinct, but pass after death from one body to another..."
William James, renowned American psychologist and philosopher, delivered a significant science-based lecture, called "Human Immortality", at Harvard, in 1893. He later expanded his concepts to specifically include reincarnation. On this he wrote:
"... I am the same personal being who in old times upon the earth had those experiences."
Thomas H. Huxley wrote in "Essays Upon Some Controverted Questions":
Francis Bowen wrote in "Christian Metempsychosis":

Remember when the military was on the buy cheap ultram cod fore-front of cialis samples in canada innovation? When what we did at war pulled the world into the future? I'm not saying that war was ever good...I'm just saying that it used to be a lot smarter.
Which is why it's nice to see the US Army actually considering energy efficiency when building a vehicle. The Aggressor is a diesel-electric hybrid two seater designed for reconnaissance and http://www.sinai.org.il/purchase-levitra-online light transport. While it can easily hit 80 mph and has a zero to forty time of just four seconds, the coolest feature is probably its stealth mode.
The Aggressor can switch to an all-battery mode that makes the vehicle virtually silent. The military initially looked to cialis cheapest lowest price fuel cells to provide this feature. But then the impracticality of shipping hydrogen around a battlefield hit them, so they paid some attention to the rest of the jaygalbraith.com world and went with batteries.
The Aggressor could be ready for operations within the next couple years. And while it's kinda sad that these could be the first hybrids Iraq will ever see, it is at least better than the alternative: More Hummers.

Also in line with something I'm thinking of doing with my old pick-up truck. A 1-ton-payload crew-cab is not going to get very far as a plug-in only electric. Yet, taking a clue from the i recommend online viagra sales railroad industry, why not combine plug-in tech with diesel-electric technology. Whether or not the military version works for military missions, I think it'd be a good civilian rig.

I LOVE this book!!! It was really good. I honestly didn't expect it to be that good, but I was wrong. The author was very good at portraying the characters personalities and making them fit into the story. I am going to buy this book! I could not put it down at all and was a bit sad when it ended, because I wanted to go on a lot more. I recommend this book highly!

It happens. Especially in high school sports.
A young person joins a team and for some reason it just doesn't work out. Not the right sport for them, there's not good chemistry with the other players or the coach or . . . who knows? But it happens all the time and usually it's best for all parties to just move on. But not, apparently, this lady, who really, really, really must have wanted her daughter on that sports team. Enough to go to school and smack the coach around so he got the message.
Message received. Let's just hope this girl's boyfriend doesn't dump her right before the prom!
A 52-year-old Newhall woman was arrested last week for allegedly attacking a Hart High School sports coach who had dropped her daughter from a varsity sports team, authorities said Wednesday. The woman was arrested at her home Monday on suspicion of assaulting a school employee, according to arrest records. She was released from custody after posting $60,000 bail.
The alleged assault occurred on Nov. 16 on the Hart High School campus. The mother allegedly struck the coach several times in the head and arms with her hands after she was told her daughter had been cut from a varsity sports team, Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff's Station Lt. Brenda Cambra said in an e-mail.

Google has a model show off what its Glass Project might look like when it is finally released.
Google's new wearable computer, Google Glass, uses the human skull to conduct sound.
The news comes from Google's documents filed with the Federal Communications Commission which shows how the computer that sits on one's nose like a pair of glasses, uses "bone conduction" to send vibrations to the inner ear and make sounds, according to The Independent. The advantage of using the skull to transmit sounds is that it allows the person to hear ambient noise, too.

Don't call the (probably inevitable) commercial retooling of Mariah Carey's Memoirs Of An Imperfect Angel a remix album: "They've said that it's a remix album, but really what it is is a features album. [The songs] won't necessarily be remixed," producer Tricky Stewart told Rap-Up.com. "It's just an album of features, really cool features on the exact same album." Among the artists enlisted for this salvage operation: Trey Songz, Gucci Mane, Big Boi, OJ Da Juiceman, R. Kelly, and—natch—T-Pain. No release date has been set. [Rap-Up]

Nikon D5000
£550 inc 18-55mm
From a specification point of view the D5000 is already at a disadvantage compared to the Canon and Panasonic models, as the video resolution is locked at 720p.
Autofocus, using the contrast-detect method, must be set before recording begins, and any subsequent re-focusing must be done manually. The aperture, too, must be selected prior to recording - thereafter the exposure is adjusted elecronically, via auto ISO selection.
The maximum clip limit of just five minutes in HD (20 minutes at the lower settings) is the shortest of any camera in this test, and somewhat restrictive, even if you'll rarely need to shoot longer clips than that. It means if you're recording little Jimmy's solo in the school concert you'll be praying that he finishes before your time runs out.
The video quality is noticeably worse than the competition, especially its main rival, the Canon EOS 500D. Whether this is due to the compression applied to the less memory efficient Motion JPEG format that Nikon has chosen to use is hard to say, but the tonal range appears more limited, and colours more detached from real-life. Noise is more apparent, especially in low light, probably due to the ISO sensitivity being cranked up.
The D5000 suffers more than most from the rolling shutter effect which affects all DSLR video to some extent. Vertical lines get diagonally skewed if the camera pans, or subject moves, too fast. This is due to the fact that the horizontal lines on a CMOS sensor are scanned one at a time on a CMOS sensor, so the top of the image may be recorded before the bottom.
The mono built-in audio is fairly low quality and there is no scope to attach an external mic.
Overall, the D5000 is capable of producing high-quality movies in the right conditions, but its video mode is the weakest in this group.
From the overly grainy image to the generally poor colour reproduction,
the D5000 was a real letdown.

The National Weather Service has classified a tornado that touched down this weekend near Sallisaw as an EF-1.
The tornado touched down at 11:20 p.m. about three miles southwest of Sallisaw in Sequoyah County.
It was on the ground for about half a mile and destroyed several barns and outbuilding in addition to damaging the roof and windows of a home, according to a Weather Service report.
The tornado also took out power poles and tree limbs.
A rating of EF-1 means the tornado had wins of 86 to 110 mph.
The National Weather Service is still examining storm damage that occurred Saturday night near Fort Gibson to see if a tornado touched down there as well.

Planeswalker Rob vs The Giant Frakking Grizzly Bears
A couple weeks ago I got an email from one of my buddies in Minnesota. I first met Rob at The Source -- one of the better gaming and comics shops in the Twin Cites. Rob was there on a Thursday night playing the A Game of Thrones collectable card game -- and he was damn good at it. I soon joined the handful of guys playing cards there and learned just how good all of them were. They were all veterans of the game. More than a couple had competed in the championships at GenCon. And Rob was right there. If I ever beat him it was blind luck that scored me the points.
So it wasn't much of a surprise when I learned that Rob was messing around with Magic the Gathering: Duel of the Planeswalkers on his Xbox 360. It also wasn't surprising when Rob told me that he's aleady been gaming the card game. In his email he recounted a match in the campaign. Rob, playing the "Claws of Vengeance" deck was up against Garruk Wildspeaker, who had the "Grizzly Bears card" out. Wildspeaker buffed them with "Blanchwood Armor" so Rob slapped the overpowered bears with "Pariah" -- a card that re-directs all damage aimed at the player to the card it is attached to. "I figured that would kill it quick," Rob said in his email. But Garruk had different ideas. Garruk busted out "Vigor" a beefy unlockable card that steps in to block damage, then rewards the target with +1 power and toughness for every point it deflects.
Rob had discovered a bizzare damage feedback loop in the mechanics of game and decided to see just how far he could push it.
He let Garruk Wildspeaker pump his Grizzly Bears to 2453 power and toughness (see the bottom right of the card) before realizing that he could pull out a win even though he was outmuscled by a huge degree. "I noted that I still had a "Blaze" spell left," Rob told me. "I got all my locations out (27 of them) so I could give him more than his 19 life easily. When I had a couple cards left I drew "Blaze" gave him 26 damage and won."
In the end Garruk had 22 characters on the table. Rob's only card in play was the "Venerable Monk."
Needless to say, I fear the day Rob invites me to play a vs. duel.

Tuesday night, the Washington Capitals were shut out by Craig Anderson and the Ottawa Senators, in front of a sparse crowd — partly due to the snowstorm, but certainly attributable to their performance as well. Folks came out during Snowmaggedon.
It was the team's sixth straight loss, the last four of which have come in regulation. Things get even worse, as the Caps now head out on a five game road trip.
The Caps have won twice since Dec. 29.
The Capitals were in a similar situation last season. They started the lockout-truncated campaign miserably, until Alex Ovechkin got hot and carried his team to the playoffs. Last year, even though the beginning of the season looked so bleak, you figured if the Caps could grasp what Adam Oates was trying to implement and get on a run they'd have a shot at turning their season around. That's exactly what happened.
This year? The feeling isn't the same.
Tuesday's performance was completely lackluster for a team on a 5-game losing streak playing its only home game out of nine. They were shut out, shut down, and shut off. The lack of interest from too many of the Capitals was galling.
This organization is due a major shake-up.
Does that mean trading a veteran player and taking salary back to offset the cost? Does that mean firing the coach, who's only been here a little over a full season's worth of games? Does that mean going higher up the chain and firing 15-year general manager George McPhee?
One of the problems is that there's no external pressure from the professional media. There's no critical analysis of the team in either of the daily papers or on any of the broadcast news stations. And there certainly isn't any coming from the rightsholder on cable.
If this were Toronto or Boston or Detroit — shoot, even Philly — the Caps would be getting roasted on a nightly basis in the papers, putting pressure on the franchise to activate change where it so obviously is needed.
But in D.C., the media outlets are too agog about the Redskins hiring Jay Gruden, or what RGIII had for lunch or posted on Twitter, to even realize that the only team in town that has been a consistent playoff team the past eight years is dangerously close to not qualifying this year.
Nope. It's just us "bloggers" left shouting in the wind. And there's only a handful of us around anymore either.
Maybe that's what it will take for change, the Caps actually missing the playoffs. Can you imagine? A team with Olympians Alex Ovechkin (leading the planet in goal scoring), Nick Backstrom and John Carlson, plus two-time Norris Trophy candidate Mike Green failing to qualify for the playoffs?
It's staring us right in the face. Those that follow the team on a daily basis know it. The fans that watch this team night-in and night-out know it. It's the same talk and not enough action.
Ovechkin said it best after losing to the Rangers Sunday night.
"What am I going to say? 'Wake up everybody' Or something like that? We say too much, go out there and do it," Ovechkin said. "We can be good speaker but you have to show it on the ice."
Except, they haven't shown it on the ice, especially over the past month.
They are currently in sixth place in the division, 2-5-3 in their last 10 games. There have been confusing player personnel moves all season long. Three players have requested trades from the organization, yet are still in the lineup. There are a couple of 19-year-olds that should be playing at lower levels, jeopardizing their futures. They carried three goalies for a month. They are one of the worst teams at 5v5 in the league. They have two players on pace for 20+ goal seasons, and one of them has scored one goal in the last 10 games.
Maybe missing the playoffs is what this organization needs.

Alpha-Lipoic Acid 200 mg. - 120 Capsules
Natural Factors Alpha Lipoic Acid is a valuable antioxidant that helps protect the body against damaging free-radicals. Unlike other antioxidants, Alpha-Lipoic Acid is both fat and water soluble, enabling it to quench free radicals both inside the cells and outside. Alpha-Lipoic Acid also extends the life of other antioxidants, recharging them so that they can continue to protect the body.
What is Alpha-Lipoic Acid:Alpha lipoic acid (ALA) is a vitamin-like antioxidant, sometimes referred to as the "universal antioxidant" because it is soluble in both fat and water. ALA is manufactured in the body and is found in some foods, particularly liver and yeast.
Where is it found?The body makes small amounts of alpha lipoic acid. There is only limited knowledge about the food sources of this nutrient. However, foods that contain mitochondria (a specialized component of cells), such as red meats, are believed to provide the most alpha lipoic acid. Supplements are also available.
Natural Factors priority is enhancing people's health.
Factor Farms:A quality herbal product starts with the highest quality fresh organic plant material. The efficacy of herbal products has always been affected by growing conditions, harvesting, processing and storage. At Factor Farms in beautiful Kelowna, British Columbia, Canada our quality can be guaranteed as we control the entire process from seedling to finished product.
To grow herbs organically no chemical fertilizers, herbicides, fungicides or pesticides are allowed. We use only natural substances that have been approved by the organic industry. You can be assured that the fresh herb extracts contain no traces of unwanted chemical. Even the seed and plant sources are organic.
To be organically certified, certification inspectors work closely with growers to ensure that the organic standards are adhered to. We must keep detailed records of what we use on our farm. Even after harvest, processing is regulated so that no harmful chemicals are used to manufacture the fresh herb extracts. Local cultivation of medicinal herbs at Factors Farms ensures that the herbs are picked, processed, and extracted at just the right time when the active ingredients are at their peak.
Natural Factor knows that the natural habitats of many herbs are shrinking and that over-harvesting from the wild can endanger native medicinal plant populations. So organic cultivation of herbs is preferred over "wild crafting".

What did you know of Jack O'Neill & his iconic look before submitting your
work. How did you find him to draw?
I've obviously been aware of the brand all my life but had never seen a picture of Jack before now. He has such an amazing face that tells a million stories, I now have a new found respect for the brand and how it began. I've never done a large portrait before and enjoyed putting all the detail into his face and that impressive beard. All those great photos of Jack for inspiration helped a lot! I used colour for his eye patch as it's such an iconic feature and one of the elements that gives him so much character. I wanted to add a reference to water and the surf which is what became the blue and white triangles at the bottom of the work.
What medium's do you work with?
I generally work on brown paper with coloured pencils and ink pens. I like the texture and gradients of pencils on paper and the fine detail of ink pens. Also I don't have a lot of room in my apartment so paper is practical! I'd like to start experimenting with acrylic paint and pine board one day soon.
What do you call your style of art?
I think it sits somewhere between reality and the surreal. Sometimes it's a little bit quirky, sometimes a little bit odd. I'm constantly creating coloured geometric shapes and patterns contrasted with black and white organic forms.
Are you classically trained?
Self taught and still learning as I go, but my background is in design which I think informs the type of work I do in someways.
Where would you like to see your piece eventually hanging?
Anywhere that people like looking at it!

Breathe Again
Choking on the bitterness
and taunted by the what may be's.
Breathing in such emptiness
while taking in the subtle breeze.
No one seems to know my pain
the struggle through my days and nights.
All my thoughts begin to drain
but I stay strong throughout the fights.
Sometimes I feel so hollow
as if no one hears the words I speak.
God's plan I try to follow
Even in despair, I remain meek.
It seems to crawl in distant skies
I'm reaching for the answer.
A pest with such persistent cries
grows in me like a cancer.
In agony I call for you
stand by my side, unite.
Left with what I know as true
I need you in this fight.
Aware now I can feel such hope
for my two thousand ten.
Our bonded strength unties this rope
please help me breathe again.

Bullying is a form of aggressive behavior in which someone intentionally and repeatedly causes another person injury or discomfort. Bullying can take the form of physical contact, words or more subtle actions.
The bullied individual typically has trouble defending him or herself and does nothing to "cause" the bullying.

I love rose scented just about everything. When Valentine's Day rolls around, I find myself even more intoxicated with the scent. Finally...more rose things to add to my stash! If you're not wanting a bouquet this year, check out these beautiful options for the perfect rose gift! The links below lead to prior reviews or blog posts.
- Reviva Labs Rosewater Facial Spray: I've mentioned this in numerous favorites videos & posts because...I love it. This smells divine & works like a charm. A refreshing mist that isn't too heavily scented but still makes your face look a bit lighter & wears longer as well.
- Conair Rose Impressions Hair Brush: I reviewed & gave away one of these brushes awhile back & I still think it has just the coolest rose print. With swirls of pink & red this looks really artsy while still being functional.
- Badger Damascus Rose Face Sunscreen: I love this, have repurchased it, & still adore it. It is so rare I repurchase a moisturizer so this is a big deal. The scent is incredible & I love it. This might be my favorite of the entire post.
- Mark Lipclick Luxe Lipstick in M.Powerment Petal: I received this oh-so-cool looking lipstick in my December Glossybox & I'm still loving it! With the pink metal packaging, magnetic opening, & holo writing I can't get over the appearance...so cool! The color is a pretty universal rose shade.
- Prestiche Mineral Treat Bath Salts in Rose: I freaking adore these. I got quite a few Prestiche products to try awhile back & this is one of my favorites. This has made it into favorites for its pure rose scent & lingering scent when tossed into a hot bath.
- Maybelline Line Stylist Lip Liner in Rose 120: An opaque pink toned rose, this lip liner is lovely. The Maybelline Line Stylist pencils are super tiny at the tip making it effortless to apply color where you want it.
- L'Occitane Rose 4 Reines Body Milk: If you love complex rose scents, this is one to take a whiff of. L'Occitane has lots of creative scents that I normally go for but this lotion contains Grasse, Bulgarian, Moroccan, & Turkish roses. Fabulously feminine.
- Revlon Colorburst Lipstick in Soft Rose: I don't know why Revlon did away with this line because, well, they were some of the very best. Beautiful, pigmented, & nicely packaged. Soft Rose in particular is a favorite because it goes with pretty much any makeup look. If you can still get your hands on it, do it!
- 525PR Makeup City La Vie en Rose Blush in Rachel: I absolutely LOVE this shade & it is super soft. The pigmentation is really wearable & when swatched it has kind of a light bronzer look with a nearly ethereal pink sheen. So lovely. This is pretty on the cheeks & chest as well. Plus, what a lovely rose!
Do you love roses? Anything here strike your fancy? What is your favorite floral scent?
** Some items sent for consideration. All opinions are my own.

As recently as a few years ago, nightlife in Kendall Square was a punchline. The streets went dark early, and were largely empty even in daytime. Employers came to Cambridge because they wanted to be close to other cutting-edge companies, and to MIT. They came in spite of the moribund neighborhood around them.
The old, boring, dark Kendall Square is gone. The square today is teeming with interesting, eclectic restaurants, bakeries, and coffee shops. As absurd as it might have sounded a few years ago, Kendall is now a hot food destination. It's buzzing with Cambridge's residents, students, and tech workers. It's drawing in diners from the suburbs. A place that lay fallow for so long has been transformed almost overnight. Small, local, independent businesses have been driving Kendall Square's dramatic turnaround. That's by design.

I have the import options configured as:

To say that the Miami Dolphins are doomed as they reach out to what presumably is their final three interviewees, Todd Bowles, Mike McCoy, and Joe Philbin, fans are shaking their head and lining up fall-back teams to support when and if this goes further south. At least one fan looks at this and sees the possibilities. After all, every coach has to start somewhere and every coach has to become a head coach for the first time. Yes, even Don Shula and Bill Walsh.
The author of this "thread" from Finheaven.com isn't saying that what happened in New Orleans will happen in Miami any more than Cam Cameron was going to change our franchise. He does however make a compelling case that not everything that Stephen Ross does needs to be met with indignity and disdain. In other words, there is always a possibility.

2014 is proving to be a continuation of the exciting rise of the 29er. What started as a revolution has evolved into the norm. The big wheel craze has spread to every trail. Why?—is it all hype? In a word, no: there are some real tangible benefits from the larger diameter wheel:
The Sortie 29er was inspired by our beloved Sortie 26" platform. Our goal simple: retain ride characteristics of the Sortie trail platform while adding the benefits of a larger diameter wheel. Not a simple task by any means, but what we've come up with is a bike that's being hailed as one of the best 29 inch bikes on the market. We'll take that!
Diamondback's Design Philosophy is a no-nonsense approach to building quality bicycles. We want our bike designs to be straightforward: their hardware accessible and their suspension simple.
The Sortie 2 29 brings affordability to a quality build. Our 6061-T6 Weapons Grade Aluminum frame features a hydroformed top tube, a butted and formed downtube, a seatstay bridge, tapered headtube, a 142×12mm E-Thru Axle drop out and Diamondbacks legendary Knuckle Box Suspension technology.
The Knuckle Box, or bell crank, is the core of our single-pivot four-bar suspension platform. Optimally placed pivots equate to a low leverage ratio, and ultimately to superior pedaling efficiency and small-bump compliance. This also allows the shock to work more efficiently and reduces pedal induced motion. It also reduces overall load on the system which will lead to improved shock and bearing life.
Placing the Knuckle Box low within the frame, situates the greatest weight of the bike closer to the bottom bracket, which lowers the bike's center of gravity and allows it to better track and corner.
Wheel-rate is also one of the most significant aspects of a suspension system. Wheel-rate is the effective spring-rate when measured at the wheel. A benefit of our four-bar linkage is increased control over the wheel-rate. Obtaining the spring-rate curves in shocks from Fox is necessary to allowing us to determine the wheel-rate. Working closely with Fox, we're able to optimize the wheel-rate to be linear-to-slightly progressive. This results in superb small-bump compliance, more perceived travel and excellent bottom-out protection. For our Sortie29 2, we've chosen to run a Fox Float CTD Air Shock with Boost Valve. The extra volume "LV" 190×51mm air shock with rebound adjust CTD lever provides a feeling of endless travel and plushness like that of a downhill rig, but with XC pedaling efficiency. Dial in climb, trail, or descend mode instantly.
The Sortie29 2 offers quality componentry in an economical package… starting with the Fox 32 Float CTD 29 Air 130mm travel air fork. This fork comes with an open bath cartridge, rebound, lever actuated lockout, alloy tapered 1.5 steerer, 32mm Easton aluminum stanchions, magnesium lowers, and a beefy QR15mm thru axle. The lockout function comes in handy for long sustained climbing. And at a hair under 4lbs, this little beast helps to keep weight down.
Complementing Fox's amazing suspension suite on the Sortie29 2, is a stellar Shimano package featuring a Shimano FCM552 Dyna-Sys 10spd Crankset with an outboard bearing bottom bracket (24/32/42t). Shimano SLX 10spd Rapidfire shifters control an SLX front derailleur and an XT SGS Shadow Plus 10spd rear derailleur. We've also included a Shimano HG81 SLX 10spd Cassette (11-36t), an HG74 10spd chain, 32h WTB Speed Disc 29 Doublewall rims laced to sealed cartridge bearing hubs (15mm front/142×12 rear). A set of Shimano M446 Hydraulic disc brakes with 180mm front / 160mm rear rotors provides ample stopping power. An Easton EA50 cockpit, seat post and WTB VIGO comp saddle provide a comfortable and stable riding experience.
Knuckle Box Frame Characteristics:
Tapered Head tube – Today's longer travel forks generate more stress on the head tube. Add in today's more aggressive rider and the need for additional strength in that region becomes imperative. Thus the 2014 Sortie 29er frame is equipped with a tapered head tube for enhanced steering and extra strength.
142×12 mm Thru Axle – Employing Shimano's new 142×12 mm E-Thru design makes for a stiffer and stronger rear-end on the bike.
Single-Sided Hardware – Single-sided oversized heat treated hardware is used for the three main pivot points allows for easy access to your 14 high-quality Enduro Max bearings simply with standard tools. No more removing the crankset to tighten or service your pivots.
Partnership w/ Fox – By providing suspension kinematics early in our design process, Fox is able to custom tune their shock to work precisely with our frames, improving performance.
Knucklebox Technology
LOW AND TIGHT – The Knuckle Box platform was designed specifically to be low and tight:
If you are searching for the ideal full suspension 29er capable of sustained trail climbs or descents, super D's, Enduro's or all day in the saddle XC rides… you just found your bike my friend.
The Sortie 2 29 is blue and comes in 4 sizes: SM (15.5"), MD (17"), LG (19"), XL (21").
Height must be between 56-79in.
Height must be between 142-201cm.
