Pediatrician Gripe: Phoning in for Diagnoses and Prescriptions
What your pediatrician doesn't want to hear
The Offending Statement
"We don't have time to come by your office. My child has experienced these symptoms before, so I know what's wrong; can't you just phone in the prescription?"
I get it. Parents are extremely busy, so why waste time? Little Johnny had these same exact symptoms last month—and the month before that! After lugging your child into the office and lolling around the waiting room, your pediatrician will just scribble off a prescription and send you on your way, and your baby will feel better within 24 hours. So why can't doctors make this process quicker and more convenient for you?
Why We Don't Want to Hear It
Unfortunately, diagnosing and treating illnesses and infections is not quite as easy as it seems. For example, if your child is experiencing ear pain, you may recognize this as an indication that he has the same infection he had last time, but in fact, ear pain can be indicative of a number of problems. It may be a sign of otitis media (an ear infection), but it can also mean a swimmer's ear (you don't have to swim to get one), a scratched ear canal, a foreign body, or congestion build-up behind the eardrum. If your doctor were to make a diagnosis over the phone, your child could be treated for an infection he doesn't have, and unnecessary exposure to antibiotics is bad for any child—plus it's a serious national health concern. The same is true for any number of illnesses. Pain and discomfort just are not conclusive symptoms. A child in distress should be examined by a medical professional.
If your doctor makes a diagnosis over the phone, the actual cause of your child's pain could go unrecognized and untreated. Even if your suspicions are confirmed, and your baby actually is experiencing a flare-up of a previous illness, waiting to make an accurate diagnosis has been shown to improve the effectiveness of antibiotics. In other words, "jumping on" an infection with prescription treatment may decrease the usefulness of that treatment and may be a therapeutic disadvantage. That may sound strange, but it has been shown that strep throat, for example, is less likely to be remedied by antibiotic therapy if treated within the first 12 hours of symptom onset, rather than if treated a day or two after.
What You Should Say
So, what is an appropriate call to the doctor? Regardless of the diagnosis, a parent's priority should be pain control. Tell your pediatrician exactly what's happening and what steps you have taken: "My child is miserable with pain. I have tried a therapeutic dose of ibuprofen and Tylenol, waited 45 minutes, and he is still significantly uncomfortable. How do I keep him comfortable until I can bring him into the office?"
No doctor or parent wants a child to suffer, but jumping the gun by making a diagnosis without an examination is not the answer. Even if you could start administering antibiotics immediately, your child might still experience significant discomfort for the next 48 hours or more, so focus on addressing the key issue: pain management.
Helping Parents Deal
Keep your cool and keep your focus. Make sure you are using the correct dose of pain reliever for your child's weight. Many calls to the doctor simply end in a scheduled appointment and a suggestion to increase the Tylenol dose to the correct amount (based on weight, not age) or to give a first dose and wait the 45 minutes it takes for the medicine to kick in.
Also, sometimes infections just aren't treated with anibiotics anymore. Many ear infections in children older than six months are resolved with pain management and time. Prescriptions are now (appropriately) reserved for the sickest children and the ugliest looking eardrums (the ones bulging with pus behind them). This is how European doctors have been successfully treating ear infections for years, and Americans are finally catching on.

Critical Read
What: "The Persistence of Innovation in Government: A Guide for Innovative Public Servants," by Sandford Borins, published by the IBM Center for the Business of Government.
Why: Over the past two decades, government agencies have increasingly collaborated with other public entities and the private sector. Approximately two thirds of the applicants for the 2010 Harvard University Kennedy School's Innovations in American Government Awards reported collaborating outside the government, compared with 28 percent of award semifinalists between 1990 and 1994.
And as collaboration has increased, so has attention. Applicants for the 2010 awards have reported significantly more coverage of their projects than their counterparts from the early 1990s. Almost 90 percent of the 2010 semifinalists said their projects got some attention from the media.
The report also details the common obstacles innovators faced, and distills their experiences into a list of broad suggestions for both innovators and government executives.
Verbatim: "Societal awareness of public sector innovation has increased to the point where it is no longer a matter of only specialist concern among public servants, the proverbial inside baseball," Borins writes. "Public sector innovation has become more transparent, with increased media attention, more external evaluation, and more transfer of innovative ideas and practices."

Kelly Sullivan Walden is the author of the newly released amazon.com bestselling book, It's All In Your Dreams. She is a certified clinical hypnotherapist, inspirational speaker, and founder of Dream-Life Coach Training, Kelly Sullivan Walden began her dream research as a curious five-year-old. She and her younger sister shared a room (and a psychic connection) and in morning the girls would wake up excited to discuss what their nighttime adventures might mean in the waking world. Over the years they poured through dream dictionaries to learn the exciting language of dreams. Kelly eventually studied the work of Carl Jung, Carlos Castaneda and other spiritual and esoteric teachers who took her understanding of dreams to a deeper level.

Have you ever thought, "If only my dog could talk. Then I would know what he really wants. I would know what to do!"
According to dog trainer and intuitive Jocelyn Kessler, dogs are communicating with us all the time… we just need to pay attention. "Your dog knows when you are getting a common cold even before you start sniffling," says Kessler.
Kessler, who has worked with the dogs of entertainment industry professionals, including celebrity actresses Parker Posey, Carol Kane, and Melanie Mayron, explains how to listen to your pet in her new book, THE SECRET LANGUAGE OF DOGS.
Kessler offers poignant and humorous stories of actual sessions with clients, as well as a step-by-step guide to connect to your animal on your own. She explains how to read the behavioral and energetic traits of your dog, and how to avoid inflicting your own emotional issues onto your pet, along with special advice for helping dogs with medical conditions, rescue dogs, and dogs with behavioral issues.
THE SECRET LANGUAGE OF DOGS brings much needed attention to the value and appreciation of the wisdom of animals, how they live in the moment, and how, by connecting to them energetically, they can guide us to a higher level of understanding who and what we are.

News and Event Details
Superior Adventures will be venturing past south shore's Cornucopia, WI to explore the magical ice caves of the Apostle Islands. This is our first of two trips to visit the sea caves this winter. The second, and last, trip to the sea caves is February 3rd.
Centuries of wave action, freezing, and thawing have sculpted the shorelines right along Meyers Beach. Join Superior Adventures in visiting these amazing sea caves and witness Lake Superior's ever-changing handiwork. We'll start the day by either hiking or snowshoe from Meyers Beach right on top of the frozen Lake Superior. Inside each cave awaits a fairyland of needlelike icicles. The formations change from chamber to chamber and from day to day. This is a bucket-list event for all students and staff!
UWS Community: $30General Public: $40We'll be providing transportation, hot drinks, snacks and snowshoes.
Seats are limited so make sure you grab a friend and stop by the MWC welcome desk to reserve your spot before it's too late!
Disclaimer: Apostle Islands National Lakeshore staff checks the ice and monitors the weather to determine when the Mainland Caves are accessible. NPS is not, however, able to check every day. Cold temperatures can form thick ice, but wind and waves can break up that ice and make it very unstable. Trips may be cancelled or moved depending on ice conditions.

The fiscal cliff and you
Here's a quick way to understand the battle over the fiscal cliff.
The fiscal cliff sounds like a nightmare. But it comes with real numbers that have real impacts on the lives of most Americans. Here's an in-depth look at them:The fiscal cliff started to affect business decisions this fall. That's why you saw small declines in manufacturing in Friday's jobs report, for example.
It appears to be a worry for consumers now. The University of Michigan's latest consumer sentiment survey shows confidence dropping to a four-month low. That suggests households are concerned about a potentially sharp fall in their after-tax incomes.
The CBO data suggests they might want to be concerned.
The CBO estimates suggest the 20% of households with the lowest incomes might see their taxes rise by $412.
If you're in the middle 20% of income levels -- between $39,791 and $64,484 -- the average increase would be $1,984. If you're in the top 20% -- $108,267 or above -- the CBO is estimating an average increase of $14,173.
If you're in the top 1% -- with income above $506,210 -- the average increase might be about $120,500.
The threat of the cliff is the result of Congress' inability in 2011 to come up with a package that would satisfy everyone. It came after threats of a government shutdown, a downgrade of U.S. debt by Standard & Poor's and a short, intense panic in financial markets that sent the major stock market averages down.
The provisions of the cliff were part of a deal made by Congress in an August 2011 budget bill. It set up a so-called Super Committee of members of Congress and the Senate who were supposed to hammer out $1.2 trillion in spending cuts over 10 years. If they couldn't come up with a plan, then a mandatory combination of spending cuts and tax increases would kick
The Super Committee couldn't agree on a plan, with Democrats and Republicans essentially deciding to wait until after the 2012 election to make decisions.
The CBO sees the cliff cutting the federal deficit but also causing a recession, just as the economy is gaining some strength, that might not end until the end of 2013.
More from MSN
ELBERT.....i KNOW IT WILL HURT YOUR PRIDE...
But please declare bankruptcy.......Maybe you can get some un-employ after that...
THEN RETIRE and go on SS and Medicare......You deserve it.....Go get it.
And to be further honest with as a Salesman in the that industry...
You should have saved more for retirement....No pension either ??
I know it was a tough life and now a tougher industry...
Part of the Family were from the Coal Mts.
I am a 67 year old unemployed sales rep in the coal mining industry. ( That's another subject better covered in another conversation. I won't argue the pros and cons of coal mining here.) My position with a large supply company was eliminated in August because of re-alignment of customer account responsibilities as the current slump in the coal markets in appalachia progressed. I have worked and paid taxes for 47 years but had only a meager retirement set aside. Unfortunately, this was depleted due to family medical emergencies. I needed to work at least another 3 years in order to reduce our debts and increase current retirement benefits. However, with my industry under such attack and being too old to change occupations, the prospects of going back to work are slim to none.
I see that the federal extended unemployment benefits are on the line now. These are all that I have to make it possible to maintain solvency. It is so sad to see our country in such a shape that the people that have made this country great and kept their responsibilities to society are faced with such a predicament. This burden is solely the blame of our politicians. I was always there to pay my taxes (their incomes) but where are they now that I need THEM !!!
Shame on the Obama administration for its war on coal mining and all the other politicians for their turning their backs on the working citizens!!!!
I'm sure that there are many good men and women who are depending on these extended unemployment benefits to survive. There is so many more wastes that could be cut that would not affect those that have worked all of their lives.
I am amazed by some of the comments. I hope some will realize that this administration is about 2 classes, the rich and the poor.
For years I have told my friends to VOTE out the regular occupants of office, as WE THE PEOPLE are to be the Government, and WE make the decisions of the nation. NOT a bunch of people who send people to prison for doing the same thing they do, ask Martha Stewart.
We are becoming what is called a THIRD WORLD NATION on purpose. I HOPE I AM WRONG, but there is nothing I have seen to disprove that. This president is going to eliminate the middle class, on purpose.
Best wishes this year, and if anyone voted for Oh-BOMB-A , sorry about all our luck, we as a nation have received what we deserve,too bad, its a LONG 4 MORE YEARS, we will not survive.
I think its great, You dumb idiots who believe the Democrats have it right about the taxes going up for the rich are full of the stuff that get flushed everyday.
The rich are going to do what the Govt. lets them do and that is pass the higher taxes right on down to you..even you dead beats on food stamps and welfare and crazy check getters are paying more at Wal-mart now. everybody will pay more federal tax on gas. Just how stupid can amreicans get.
Though repeated many times before: We need to collect all the taxes owed to the government and not raise taxes on the citizen who pays all of their taxes owed. It's time to close the loop holes and end free tax rides that many of the super rich and corporation are using today.
Maybe we should cut the pay of the elected officials or end their life time paychecks that they receive. I'm talking about the members of the Senate and the House of Representatives. Many of them hold high paying jobs and receive incomes from book deals and speaking fees. Maybe it is time to stop giving them paychecks when they no longer work for the American people.
If your going to end Social Security or raise it to an age that their is no way I can reach it(I've heard rumors of moving the retirement age into the 90's) then I should not have it removed from my paycheck.
In 2011 the Federal Government received 6.7 trillion in revenue in taxes. The Federal Government still needed to borrow 1 trillion. How would any American in their right mind not want to know how the Federal Government can spend almost 8 trillion $ 8,000,000,000,000 a year and still want more? Are we becoming so indifferent to the numbers that they become incidental? At this rate we will all be taxed at 100% in the near future. I say no to any tax increase. They have enough revenue to manage this country. As far as raising the debt limit. Hell no!!!!!!! All Americans should refuse to go to work for a few weeks (that would scare the crap out of them) to let our leaders know we don't work for you. You work for us.

Meet the New Office of Development & Alumni Affairs
After seven years of service to the University's Office of Institutional Advancement, including four years as the Law School's Director of Development & Alumni Affairs, Drew Chelosky has accepted the position of Assistant Dean for Development at West Virginia University's Eberly College of Arts & Sciences. Drew leaves behind an impactful legacy. As Director, he built a comprehensive alumni relations program and secured the largest gift in the Law School's history, pushing the school past a major campaign goal in 2013. To fill these shoes, the Office of Institutional Advancement, in conjunction with the Law School, is conducting a rigorous national search for a new Director of Development & Alumni Affairs.
Allison Saras, who served as the Law School's Director of Constituent Relations for three years, recently accepted a new position in the University of Pittsburgh Swanson School of Engineering as a Charitable Relationship Manager. Through her efforts at the Law school, Ali enhanced the engagement of the Pitt Law Alumni Association and strengthened the 3L giving program.

He will be tasked with strengthening our alumni engagement, donor stewardship, and increasing participation in our Law Fellows giving society. Jeff will also be assuming some of the responsibilities of the office director until the position is filled.
Cynthia Caldwell – Charitable Relationship Manager – Planned Giving
Cynthia Caldwell, a native of Pittsburgh's South Hills, graduated from Pitt Law in 2011. She practiced law at a small, general practice law firm immediately following graduation and is now working as a Charitable Relationship Manager in the Planned Giving department, with a focus on law alumni.

Prior to that, she served as the Law School's event coordinator and has been employed at the University of Pittsburgh in various capacities for the past seven years.

If you're skinny, it's perfect transportation by Ryno@IL on 10/31/2003. Trim: 2002 Nissan Sentra SE-R, Owned less than 1 year.
Pros: Everything's a little better than average, but not outstanding. The car is small width-wise, but I'm 6'2" and only 160 lb., so it fits me nicely. The engine's responsive, the quality looks like typical Nissan quality. Recommended
Cons: Auto tranny a bit jumpy
Overall review: A few questions: my friend has a 2000 Mitsubishi Eclipse GT and wants to race for slips. What should I say? Will I beat it?

Modern + Retro: Rock N Roll Bride features Forever & Ever (at a bowling alley)
As mentioned previously, the first part of the inspirational shoot featuring all things chic and understated Britishness was featured on 100 Layer Cake; for the second part, we wanted to be more offbeat and quirky, and teamed up with Bloomsbury Bowling Lanes for something modern and retro… which of course got us thinking that readers and diehard fans of Rock N' Roll Bride would love it! So, we approached the pink haired "brocker" (bride + rocker!) and were so thrilled she said YES! You can see the full feature on Rock N' Roll Bride HERE.
The inspiration was all modern elegance + retro fun. For me, the focal points were Delphine Manivet's "Cyrus Guipure" dress from her current collection, Edwina Ibbotson's hats, and the bowling balls. I absolutely love all the detail within Bloomsbury Bowling Lanes – all the light fixtures in the shape of bowling pins, the colorful retro diner, the pool tables – all of it sets the tone for the perfect laid-back party! You can also hire out the entire place on an exclusive hire basis for a pre-wedding event or even your wedding reception – just think how much fun your guests would have!
Keeping the Britishness and retro bowling theme in mind, Abbey from House of Sugalily created the cutest invitations…
And we also got some modern calligraphy by Dear Darling…
Can we talk about how rad the interiors are?!
Loved all the quirky details…
Here are some of additional shots to complement what was featured on Rock N' Roll Bride:
Special thanks again to the pink-haired "brocker" Rock N' Roll Bride for featuring our work! To see the full feature, go HERE.
And of course to the following inspirational people that I was privileged to work with on this feature:
♥ Aneta Mak Photography
♥ Bloomsbury Lanes Bowling Alley
♥ Delphine Manivet
♥ Edwina Ibbotson (all bespoke and made to order, email email@example.com)
♥ Amy Brandon for Claire Hanson Makeup & Hair Team
♥ House of Sugalily

{Incidentally, the knee-highs and socks were "stylist's own" (i.e., mine) and were made by Tabio}

Forever & Ever writes for Rock N Roll Bride: Venues in Manchester
My first Rock N' Roll Venue Guide on London was so popular on Rock N' Roll Bride that Kat asked me to write another one! – this time, a recommendation of 10 rock n' roll venues in Manchester. Can I just say: I was way flattered! I completely heart Rock N' Roll Bride – it continues to be one of the most influential and inspiring wedding publications out there on the web and I just love working with Kat.
Now, I won't pretend to be a Mancunian. But I did have a great time sourcing out the venues for the article and also have some great deals worked out with a few of the best venues in Manchester – which I always pass on to clients!
I got major help on this article from Anna Hardy, a wedding photographer based in Manchester. Anna is such a talented photographer, with a keen eye for detail, and similar to me, has a background in English literature, is an avid appreciator of art + design and, of course, a dog lover. Here are some of my favorite photos from Anna…

Thanks to Anna and Kat again! Absolutely love working with these ladies!

Our 70s-inspired Photo Shoot published on Rock N Roll Bride!
I planned and styled this '70s-inspired photo shoot about a month ago and am so thrilled to see it published and gracing the hugely edgy and influential Rock N' Roll Bride! For the full post, click HERE.
So, how did this photo shoot come about? Caro Hutchings and I had wine one night at a pub and thought we should collaborate together – within minutes we had come up with our theme and the rest, as they say, is history!
The vintage '70s dress was purchased off eBay for £10 and with a few alterations made at a crazy clothing boutique in East London, the finished dress only cost about £18 in the end! The most gorgeous element of the dress was definitely the tiered back – cascades of ruffled layers going all the way down the long train. We got rid of the billowy Gunne-sax sleeves and the high neck line to create a romantic and current lace bodice and 3/4 sleeves that contemporized the dress but still left the original craftsmanship and vintage feel. It's all about being inspired by an era, with subtle nods, rather than going completely literal {otherwise, there is a risk of looking like a costume!}.
The other Forever Vendors involved in the shoot were:
♥ Sugarplum Cupcakes, creators of the "Make Love Not War" cakes and the edible hot pink cupcake bouquet
♥ Elbie Van Eeden, make-up and hair
♥ Alexis Cuddyre, graphic design, who also runs the wonderful wedding blog, OMG I'm Getting Married
♥ Models were friends of Caro's! Check out the groom's band on Myspace!
For the flowers, I wanted something extremely simple and natural, so I went with a bouquet of heather – it was perfect, beautiful and romantic. All the other props were from my personal collection and Caro's.
HUGE thanks for Caro for taking, as always, beautiful photographs and for being such an awesome partner in crime!
And of course to Kat at Rock N' Roll Bride for publishing it!

Songs in the Rear View MirrorPosted by Lawrence Dillon in Uncategorized
We've all heard tons of song cycles for Appalachian folk singer and piano, right? And almost all of them were perfectly suited for operatic tenor and piano, right?
Okay, I stand corrected. Most of us have never heard such a piece. But I have, as of last Friday, when I attended a Composition Seminar given by Kenneth Frazelle. The subject was Songs in the Rearview Mirror, a piece that exists in both of these versions. The one for Appalachian singer was written for Laurelyn Dossett; the tenor version was written for Anthony Dean Griffey. Ms. Dossett is a founding member of the Polecats, featured on Prairie Home Companion. Mr. Griffey is best known for his searing portrayal of Peter Grimes at the Met and his premiere of Previn's Streetcar Named Desire with San Francisco Opera.
The piece was commissioned by the Reynolda House Museum of American Art to celebrate a retrospective on photographer William Christenberry last spring. Christenberry has created a body of work featuring decaying buildings in Hale County, Alabama. Series of photographs spanning decades show these buildings in various stages of neglect, gradually turning inward on themselves.
To prepare for the piece, Frazelle took a road trip to Alabama with Let Us Now Praise Famous Men – James Agee and Walker Evans's book about Depression-era Hale County – as a companion. The journey, coupled with Christenberry's photography and Agee's prose, conjured up some ghosts from Frazelle's childhood growing up in rural North Carolina. The result is a set of ten songs that jump from visions of decaying buildings to ruminations on poverty to harrowing accounts of child abuse.
By flickering back and forth in time, Frazelle, who wrote the texts himself, creates an artistic counterpart to experiencing life in the rear view mirror, vivid details flying past and scrutinized as they fade away.
This perspective suits itself perfectly to Frazelle's approach to piano writing. He has an uncanny sensitivity to the resonance of the piano, the way overlapping decays caress one another, joining hands in their journey to oblivion.
The texts range from the cheerful doggerel of the fourth song, "Kudzu" to the scorching rawness of the eighth song "In the Night." The music is at times elegiac, as in the country waltz that buoys "Green Warehouse," or the ruminative sonorities behind "Unmarked Grave." At other times, though, it evokes familiar idioms, through the prism of the aforementioned layers of decay.
Griffey has performed the piece at the Kennedy Center and has plans to sing it at various venues around the country over the course of this season. I'd love to hear his interpretation. Frazelle played us a recording of the premiere featuring Laurelyn Dossett, who has learned the entire 50-minute work by ear and performs it from memory – an extraordinary feat. Her delicate, vulnerable performance, given shape by a folk singer's raw vocalizing and expertise with the intimacy of a microphone, is a very special experience.

Kentucky State Police Tips Help Drivers "Share the Road" With Motorcycles
Date of News Release: 05/03/2007
(Frankfort, Kentucky) - The Kentucky State Police is joining with federal, state and local law enforcement agencies throughout the country in observing May as "Motorcycle Safety Awareness Month." All motorists are reminded to safely "Share the Road" with motorcycles and be extra alert when driving to help keep motorcyclists safe.
Motorcycle riders now account for one out of every 10 U.S. road fatalities each year - with motorcyclist deaths from traffic crashes rising in each of the last eight years.
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), 4,553 motorcyclists lost their lives in highway crashes in 2005. Of those, 56 percent involved another vehicle in addition to the motorcycle in the crash.
In the United States, motorcycle registrations account for 2 percent of all vehicle registrations, but motorcycles account for 10 percent of all vehicle crashes. Last year in Kentucky, there were 1,770 collisions involving motorcycles. Of that figure, there were 1,417 injures with 94 being fatal injuries.
Motorcyclists are often hidden in a vehicle's blind spot or missed in a quick look due to their smaller size.
"It's crucial that motorists always make a visual check for motorcycles by checking mirrors and blind spots before entering or leaving a lane of traffic and at intersections," says Lt. Col. Dean Hayes, director of the KSP Operations Division.
Statistics show that motorcyclists are much more vulnerable than passenger vehicle drivers in the event of a crash. Research shows that approximately 80 percent of motorcycle crashes injure or kill a motorcycle rider, while only 20 percent of passenger car crashes injure or kill a driver or passenger in their vehicle. According to NHTSA, per vehicle mile traveled in 2005, motorcyclists were 37 times more likely to die in a traffic crash than occupants in passenger vehicles.
The Kentucky State Police offers the following driving tips to help keep motorcyclists safe on our roadways:
Remember the motorcycle is a vehicle with all of the rights and privileges of any other motor vehicle on the roadway. Always allow a motorcyclist the full lane width. Never try to share a lane.
Always make a visual check for motorcycles by checking mirrors and blind spots before entering or leaving a lane of traffic and at intersections.
Always signal your intentions before changing lanes or merging with traffic.
Remember that road conditions which are minor annoyances to passenger vehicles pose major hazards to motorcyclists.
Allow more following distance, three or four seconds, when following a motorcycle, so the motorcyclist has enough time to maneuver or stop in an emergency. And don't tailgate. In dry conditions, motorcycles can stop more quickly than cars.
"Too many lives are being lost," says Hayes. "Our message to all drivers is: make this the first year in recent years when motorcycle fatalities do not increase. Do your part by safely 'Sharing the Road' with motorcycles."

FOXBOROUGH – On Jan. 13, the Patriots will kick off the postseason against a yet-to-be determined opponent. That they aren't aware of their competition is not diminishing their anticipation.
"It's a playoff game. That's what we're here for. You play the whole regular season to get into the playoffs," Bill Belichick said Wednesday at Gillette Stadium. "I would hope we're excited and more amped up to play. It's a higher level of competition. Not that the regular season isn't. But the playoffs are the highest. There's no question about that."

Editor's Note: Patch has 31 sites in Virginia and D.C., and not a day goes by that something weird isn't happening somewhere in the area. Here's a look back at some weird goings-on over the past week.
You Stole My Makeover! Three different beauty supply stores were robbed in Prince William County recently, with more than $14,400 worth of hair products stolen. The incidents have not officially been connected, but we can't imagine rival street gangs with really good hair and lipstick. Actually, we can, but it's called "West Side Story."
Poop Comedy. A Brambleton YouTube enthusiast who has previously parodied suburban living is at it again with "I Need to Go Potty," a rap about potty training. If you've never been through the experience, potty training is so tedious and time consuming that you have enough time to write and produce a song about it.
Elephant NOT in the Room. Ivory tusks valued at more than $10,000 have been stolen from a City Hall building in Washington, D.C. The pair actually went missing in August, but quiet efforts to track down the tusks went nowhere. Now, there's a public push to find these treasures. Yes, they would make a fine addition to your Worlds of Warcraft cosplay. No, that is not a good reason to keep them.
I Can't Hear You Now. An expensive piece of proprietary cell phone tower equipment is apparently worthless to the poor burglar who pulled it from the back of a truck bed this week in Manassas. The victim told police the tower scanner is worth up to $10,000, but only if you're using it with his company's equipment. So if your phone bill goes up next month, you can blame this perp.
Fake Your Way to the Top. Lots of fraudulent crime this week. A man reported to Fairfax City Police that an unknown woman has tried to use his personal information twice in the past seven months in an attempt to buy cars from a local dealership. Meanwhile, sellers on Craigslist contacted Spotsylvania law enforcement after they were paid with fake cash. And, meanwhile again, an unknown subject pulled a gun on a man when he questioned the fake cash he was being handed for selling his game console in Manassas Park.

I'm not normally interested in thriller type novels, but Greg Iles develops his characters so well that his books are much more. I liked these people and cared about what happened to them. The plot revolves around a crooked lawyer/doctor team who relieve divorcing people of their spouses by infecting the spouses with cancer. Sounds far-fetched but the author makes it all seem possible. I read this rather thick book in three days; couldn't wait to get to the end to see how it played out. I enjoyed references to characters in Iles' previous work, Turning Angel (which I also recommend) and his description of Natchez. This was a fun read.

- NiceKingofHikespointDined on 9/27/2014Great food, great time. Didn't know the Nulu festival was going on. Made parking difficult. Service was great.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Fun and deliciousPhaniwolffDined on 9/27/2014A wonderful NuLu restaurant. The service is fabulous and the food is outstanding. One of the best things about it is that the waitstaff all seem to love working there. The atmosphere is superb and it's just a good neighborhood spot. It's not inexpensive, but not over-the-top either. I will keep going back.Special Features:
- Great nightLeeLouDined on 9/26/2014Wonderful evening. Wonderful meal on the veranda. Highly recommend Decca. One of my favorite spots. Never disappoints.Special Features:
- OutstandidngBucketDined on 9/22/2014I loved everything about it! The bar in the cellar is a gem. I loved Lawrence--he made me want to hug him. All our service was outstanding but Lawrence made my night!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Wonderful mealOpenTable Diner Since 2007Dined on 9/20/2014We had a terrific time last Saturday eating in the courtyard. All of the food was refined and well executed - had the lamb pasta, NY strip and grilled broccoli which all stood out. Staff was friendly and very competent. Well timed service!Special Features:
- Creative options, great settingJohnDined on 9/19/2014Proof has a very cool vibe, with large format artwork on the walls, and a very sophisticated menu. It's special and casual at the same time. Most entree choices are farm to table, and are well prepared and presented. Don't miss it when visiting Louisville. Great bourbon and rye list.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Best PatioFern227Dined on 9/19/2014Decca's outdoor patio is the best in Louisville--plenty of room, quiet, restful. Just great for winding down after along work week.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2004VIPDined on 9/16/2014Not willing to vary menu at all, when you ask the answer is "Chef said no". I think the question on noise is misleading, it's too noisy to have a conversation doesn't fit in moderate and it's certainly not "energetic" perhaps they know they have a problem. Also, it just a little too pretentious.
- Jazz on Mondays is excellentSammy1Dined on 9/15/2014Decided to celebrate out anniversary here because of the jazz group playing and a high rated listening room. The downstairs was great. Food was wonderful(we ate at the bar) and not crowded but also not dead. Overall it was a lovely night.Special Features:
- A True GemauburnkidDined on 9/11/2014As out of towners, we are always looking for interesting places to eat. Decca was recommended to us by several individuals that had no connection to one another. The atmosphere is lively and fun with the music being played from a record player. Be sure to arrive early so you can enjoy drinks in the bar. The farm to table concept is very well executed - if the fried green tomatoes are still on the menu, be sure to try them. The service was quick and attentive, but not overbearing. Decca is a NULU gem!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- wrong choicegnatsDined on 9/9/2014I can not review honestly. The experience for us was overshadowed by the negatives. I feel the same way about the ratings. I can't in good concience be fair to the resturant, because of my experience. We were a group of six which included visitors from out of town. You don't feel good when you have to apologize repeatedly for noise, flies, serving time, and choices. So, lesson learned....check it out prior.Special Features:
- Great outdoor dining experienceLambsidivyVIPDined on 9/5/2014I had been to Decca after it opened and eaten inside; the experience was not as memorable as our recent evening sitting on the patio near the burbling water feature. I was impressed how far it has come in both ambiance, food selection and sophistication. Service was attentive but not hovering, wine selection was plentiful but not confusingly vast and the several plates that are group of six ordered were all inventive, well presented and flavorful. The waiter even brought a re-lighting candle affixed to the small serving plate of dessert aflogato for our birthday guest. It's all about the details! We will be back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- wonderful evening!OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/3/2014Our first time at Decca - perfect. Nothing short of perfect.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Justin is the man!KentuckyblueDined on 8/30/2014My girlfriend took me there for bday. She is from Kentucky and we both live in Chicago, both Decca newbies. Ambience was great although their plate ware and stemware were quite unnecessarily large. Food was amazing! Every flavor of every dish worked together in new ways. The dishes as whole meals was greater than the sum of its parts. As a bartender this is what I believe a good cocktail should be and I'm sure chefs strive for this with food, Decca surpassed the mark. Service was great, minus a few hiccups. Justin was super knowledgable and awesome! When I go back to Kentucky I will for sure be back there! Oh. Cocktail list could have been a little more diverse. Downstairs and upstairs should have different cocktail lists.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- KyfoodieDined on 8/29/2014Awesome place! Wife and I love it! Every time we go the menu is different and the food always delivers! If you love food this place is great.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Fern227Dined on 8/23/2014Service was great and all servers took care of us without being obtrusive.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Decca - best of the bestAmomDined on 8/18/2014We chose Decca for our anniversary dinner and it was fabulous. My husband and I have eaten at many fine/trendy restaurants. We both agreed Decca is by far the best of the best. We had the best evening ever. Weather was nice so we chose to sit out on the spacious patio. We loved being able to enjoy each other's company without sitting on top of other diners. Food was AMAZING! The atmosphere so quaint and romantic. Service was top notch, both friendly and informative. You MUST go. Today. DECCA - my new all time fav!!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great Anniversary CelebrationJosephineDined on 8/16/2014Decca was recommended by a friend who said it would be perfect for a romantic 20th anniversary celebration and she nailed it! While the portions were a little small, the food was absolutely fabulous and we were comfortably full! We got a little out of our comfort zone for what we normally would have eaten but loved our food! The staff was very attentive, personable and friendly! But my favorite part of the night was the whole experience and ambience! The records room/library was fun to check out! The bar in the basement was awesome! It was extremely cozy with comfortable, inviting couches to sit on while looking at the old silent black and white movies shown on the wall and listening to some vintage music! It was a great evening!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great Place!CottonerDined on 8/2/2014The best service, food, and atmosphere combination in the city right now. If you're looking a place to fit the bill of outdoor, romantic, overall great setting. Decca is the place.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Dine & walkDine2walkDined on 8/1/2014Loved everything about this place. Outdoor dining was a real plus. One concern: do not sit directly across from the outdoor speaker... Too loud for normal conversation & it sounded like a speaker was cracked.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- AwesomegoodfoodaddictionDined on 7/31/2014My husband and I celebrated our 38th wedding anniversary at Decca. It was a great choice. We sat on the upstairs balcony overlooking the outdoor garden and seating below. It was a beautiful. The food was delicious and service was spot on great. We will definitely return to Decca for a lovely evening. I forgot to mention the intimate and quaint downstairs bar. It would be a great place to take out of town guests for a must see and enjoy good restaurant in Louisville. Lovely experience.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Decca - Very good. Not great.one4goodfoodDined on 7/28/2014Heard a lot about Decca. Like everything in NuLu, Decca is over rated. Not the best in Louisville - if so the town has a problem. Only two tables occupied when we arrived at 7 - none when we left. Tight table arrangement. Faced open doors to the kitchen area and a second service area. Blueberry and arugula salad was disappointing. Diver scallops - outstanding but not sure of the garnishment or whatever. The grilled broccoli was wonderful - the best ever. Bland crispy russet potatoes - not so crispy and the chermoula yogurt reminded me of a bad middle east or Indian sauce. Overall a nice restaurant. Not great. Drinks and tip: $150 was pricey given the entire experience. Wait staff OK but not great like everything else.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 7/28/2014We loved the outdoor patio. The food was very delicious, but overpriced. Service was good.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Date Night at DeccamakindyDined on 7/26/2014Amazing restaurant. Food, service and ambiance were perfect for our date night. Our only complaint was how close we were seated to our neighbors when over half the tables on the second floor were empty. It was nice to chat and meet new people, it was just a little too close for comfort. Highly recommend everything we ordered off the menu - especially the fried green tomatoes.Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 7/25/2014Thought it was a little noise inside though the food was amazing! Wish there was more selections for the appetizers!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Great EveningWineloverDined on 7/24/2014We dined in the Courtyard, business dinner. Couldn't have been better. Perfect weather helped,and our server was great. Food super as usual - 2 x salmon, 1 x NY Strip and 1 x Shrimp. All done well. Every went overboard on the Cabriole Goat Cheese, and the Peach Cobbler was a perfect ending. 50% wine on Thursday just capped it off. Well done!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- UnderwhelmedDined on 7/23/2014Decca has great outdoor ambiance. We ate outside because the airconditioning was set too cold to eat inside. Service was attentive and the folks were very professional and pleasant. The meal choices are creative. However, my wife's fish arrived undercooked so we had to eat our meals separately. There were no apologies for this misstep let alone any effort put into service recovery. The experience left us feeling luke warm about ever returning to Decca.Special Features:
- ServicecbormayVIPDined on 7/19/2014The service seemed to be slow. There were longer than usual breaks between courses. This seemed odd as it wasn't very crowded.Special Features:

- SatisfyingDissapointedDined on 7/12/2014This was my 2nd. visit and probably not as nice as my first. the appetizers were good, but the entrees were soso. I had the Pork Chop and it was delicious, however my wife had the Shrimp and it was just OK. I was disappointed at the choices for entrees and would have preferred more. choices.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great Date nightBeckyDined on 7/11/2014A great place for a date night - especially the outdoor seating. Best fried green tomatoes EVER!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great food and atmosphereArthurDined on 7/11/2014Loved the style, the downstairs bar was great. The live music was a nice touch, and we enjoyed the library upstairs and the outdoor seating. Most importantly, the food was superb. 10/10, would definitely recommend.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- LeothewhatleyDined on 7/9/2014There were only 4 choices for entrees with meat or fish. 1 Steak, 1 chicken, 2 seafood. Need to add one to 2 more steak options and 1 to two more chicken optionsSpecial Features:
- Great Food AND Music in one night!CoconnorDined on 7/5/2014We travel quite a bit and love it when we find a place with great food and great music. We always say "I wish we had something like this in Louisville". Well, we don't have to say that anymore. We DO have that in Louisville - at Decca. We had fabulous food/service and then headed downstairs for music and great drinks in a cozy but vibrant bar. They are advertising Jazz Monday's and we cannot wait to head back for more. The food would be enough to get us back but the music is the icing on the cake.Special Features:
- Great choicefoodie1cDined on 7/5/2014Our first visit. My date and I were able to score a table on the upstairs patio overlooking the beautiful down stairs patio/garden. Our server was attentive without being around too much and made great selections for drinks/good. I wish I would've grabbed a dessert, especially considering how tasty our appetizers and entrees were. We well definitely be back and will make it a point to spend time checking out the downstairs lounge.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Very goodFooddocDined on 6/28/2014Fresh ingredients and very flavorful. Wine list a little pricy, nothing by the bottle under $40. Would recommend.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Creative Cuisine, Sub Par Meat CutssatanVIPDined on 6/28/2014The salads were excellent but significantly overpriced relative to comparable upscale restaurants. The creative preparation and ingredients in the two entrees we had were exceptional; however, both the pork chop and steak were tough. The chop was 40 percent bone and fat. The duck pate' was the high point of the dinner--an amazing amalgamation of flavors. The staff was first-rate--friendly and attentive. If they improve the cuts of meat this will become a preferred restaurant for us.
- Great Jazz BarXXXXVIPDined on 6/23/2014We enjoyed dinner in the restaurant with terrific cocktails and found our way after dinner to the downstairs jazz bar. Decca has a complete package for a great date night: great food, drinks, and entertainment. The only negative would be it took our food a really long time to be served but it was very good when we finally received it.Special Features:
- Decca Delights!FoodzillaDined on 6/23/2014The food at Decca is consistently outstanding and the seasonal changes make it an adventure. Food is creative without being forcedly quirky. The textures, tastes, colors and combinations are perfectly balanced. The same goes for the cocktails! The décor is subtly elegant in its simplicity - conversation is easy, and the wait staff is always friendly and helpful. I can't wait to go back!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

She Lives!To recap, Project Supra has undergone major surgery at Speed Force Racing. The 2JZ-GTE long block was completed using several high-end components, machine work, cryo treatment and thermal barrier coatings as covered in our April and May, 2005 issues. Finally, the time has come to talk about our turbo, fuel system and some preliminary dyno testing.
Sound Performance of Bloomingdale, Ill., is home to some of the most powerful Supras in the world. Larry Prebis and Gary Grossman head this well-known Supra tuning facility. SP sells a variety of custom-sized single-turbo upgrades for Supra owners seeking power levels anywhere from 500 to 1,500 whp. SP turbo kits include an SP-spec turbocharger, 321 stainless steel ceramic-coated header, 3-inch ceramic-coated midpipe and downpipe with wastegate recirculation and flex section, HKS GT 60mm wastegate, a 4-inch intake pipe and air filter, and oil feed and return lines with the necessary fittings. SP will soon have 4-inch midpipes and downpipes available for really high-horsepower setups.
Choosing the right turbo for this car was extremely important. Our goal is to achieve a safe 500 whp on pump gas and 750 whp on high-octane juice. At the same time we need a reasonable spool response for street use or on a road course. SP recommended the SP71-GTQ turbo upgrade to meet our needs. The SP71's compressor wheel is the only one in SP's lineup machined from billet aluminum. When asked why, SP's Larry Prebis responded, "In this specific case, we found that an extreme pressure ratio wheel intended for use in high-altitude applications just happened to work nicely with the Supra's particular engine design."
Since a billet wheel is much stronger than cast, the blades can be razor thin. This creates a turbo whine unlike anything else we've ever heard. It's awesome. Additionally, it's also lighter than a cast wheel, promoting quicker spool up.
Of course, with around a 500-whp limit, the stock fuel system had to be upgraded. Dual Walbro 255 lph high-pressure fuel pumps were ordered from Extremepsi.com, a company with a huge assortment of import performance parts at very reasonable prices. To get the pumps to work in-line, a "Y" connection needed to be fabricated. Tim Richards of Speed Force Racing welded a -8 fitting to the pump housing which allows the two pumps to dump into a single stainless steel feed line.
The -8 line was routed along the stock system's path, eventually coming to the Aeromotive 2,000 lb/hr in-line filter, which SFR plumbed into the fuel line as well. The Aeromotive fuel filter features a reusable stainless steel micron filter element, making costly fuel filter replacements a thing of the past.
From the fuel filter, the feed line continues and ends at the beautiful billet anodized HKS fuel rail. At the end of the line, the fuel empties into the combustion chambers via HKS 1000cc injectors. Granted, for this particular turbo upgrade anything above 720cc would have been sufficient but we wanted to have a fuel system that was also capable of supplying enough fuel for an even larger turbo-should we decide to test one. If you're planning to feed the fuel rail from one side, as we did, it's a good idea to feed the rail from the front-most port so the flow doesn't fight against acceleration forces.
From the back of our fuel rail we ran a -6 line to an AEM billet fuel pressure regulator. An Auto Meter 1.5-inch fuel pressure gauge was plumbed to an outlet port on the regulator so we could keep an eye on things. From the regulator, SFR routed a return line back to the fuel tank.

10 steps after a loved one dies
If you're the executor of the will, you have numerous responsibilities, including some that might not occur to you.
This post comes from Rob Berger at partner blog The Dough Roller.
My stepmother passed away two weeks ago. She was an incredible woman. She was a pilot, certified scuba diver, Harley-Davidson rider, and if that wasn't enough, a big-game hunter. No joke. Cancer took her far too soon.
And now I'm the executor of her will and trustee of her living trust. While I practice law, I'm not a trust and estates attorney. So I'm learning what to do as I go. When I considered writing about my experience, I was uncertain if I should. But my stepmother knew of my blog and enjoyed reading it. I think she would approve. So I'm going to share what I learn in a series of posts on The Dough Roller.
Today I want to start with some basic steps every executor of a will should take. Of course, Step One is to hire an attorney who knows what he or she is doing when it comes to handling an estate. But the list today goes beyond this and looks at some things you might not think about that will help an executor handle an estate.
Secure the will. The first priority is to find and secure the will. While in some cases this is a simple matter, in others it can be a big issue. If a loved one is terminally ill, it's best to locate the will while they are alive (although it can be an uncomfortable discussion). Once you locate the will, it should be secured. In most cases, the original will gets filed with the probate court, although you'll want to consult a lawyer to be sure.
Obtain the death certificate. You'll likely need 15 to 25 certificates of death, if not more. These will be used to notify creditors, banks, insurance companies, investment brokerages, and the like. Basically, you may need a death certificate for any significant account maintained by the deceased. Death certificates generally are ordered by the funeral home, which was a surprise to me.
Forward the mail. The mail will be an important source of information concerning both liabilities and assets. You can forward the mail online at USPS.com. Of course, this won't apply if a spouse or other person still lives in the home. But if not, forwarding the mail is critical.
Order credit reports. Credit reports are an excellent way to identify open accounts and outstanding debts. One of the challenges of handling an estate is making sure you know of all of the liabilities owed by the decedent. You can order the credit report of a deceased person directly from the three major credit bureaus. You'll need, among other things, the death certificate.
Notify the Social Security Administration. If the deceased was receiving Social Security benefits, you'll need to notify the Social Security Administration. You can get more information about this at the SSA website.
Secure the checkbook. The checkbook will be an important source of information. It will show payments made on debts, for investments, and even payments made on insurance policies. Of course, today many bank accounts are online, so getting online access to accounts will be important, too.
Find investment statements. Identifying all assets of the deceased is another challenge. In the best case, you'll find monthly statements of all investment accounts nicely organized. In the worst case, you won't find anything. But you should make an effort to look for and secure all investment account statements as soon as possible.
Cancel services. One thing that can be easily overlooked is canceling monthly services that are no longer needed. This may include the cellphone, home phone, cable and Internet. With the cellphone, I actually had a carrier try to charge an early-cancellation fee. They can't do that, so ask to speak to a supervisor if they try.
Cancel credit cards. In part to avoid fraud, you want to cancel any open credit cards as soon as possible. At the same time, you also want to secure the credit card statements, as they may have information helpful to your search for assets and liabilities.
Identify legal heirs. Even when there is a will, in many states you'll still need to identify those people who would have inherited property in the absence of a will. While the order of legal heirs probably varies some from state to state, I've seen the following order: spouse, children, parents, grandchildren, siblings, nieces and nephews. Even if the closest legal heir does not inherit anything under the will, in many states they must be notified of the will. What I've also learned is that if many of these individuals are deceased, you may need their full names and dates of death anyway. As always, consult with a lawyer first.
There is, of course, a lot more to do when handling an estate. But this list is a start, and several items on it were a bit surprising to me. If you've handled an estate before and have other suggestions, please leave a comment below.

I very strongly appreciate the notions of preparing in advance for the death of a loved one - including temporary cash flow, travel, lodging, and possibly needs for emotional support.
It is a detailed and rigorous process, and probably best to get assistance if one can afford the costs - a whole other aspect to be pre-approached.
I was fortuneate to have all things lined up when my 1st wife died.6 weeks later the neighbor
lady came over with food.She did that a couple of times a week.After about 2 months she
proposed to me.We`ve been married 12 years now.It was a seemless transistion for me.I wish everybody could be so lucky.
