How should the government spend tax money?
An Ameritrade survey finds most taxpayers would fund health care, but men and women have differing priorities.
Ameritrade (AMTD) let 1,000 taxpayers daydream away during a tax survey conducted in November. The survey asked Americans to choose how the government should spend their tax dollars.
The results released Tuesday indicate that not only would they like to treat Uncle Sam like the short-order cook at their local diner, but they'd have far different ideas about what they'd put on the menu.
Health care was their biggest concern, with 38% looking to funnel tax dollars toward affordable health care and 24% looking to use their funds to improve the health care system. Job creation came in second with 36% of the vote, while improved public education was key to 24% of those surveyed. Split those votes by gender, however, and it becomes a far different story.
The guys put jobs atop their priority list, with a whopping 42% calling for job creation and 20% seeking funds for job training. That far outpaces the 33% who feel their tax money would be best spent on affordable health care. Meanwhile 23% of men felt defense was a spending priority, as opposed to just 12% of women.
A full 43% of women, meanwhile, think that affordable health care is the most worthwhile expenditure out there. Considering that the Department of Labor finds that women make roughly 80% of their family's health care decisions and, according to Census data, tend to live a lot longer than men, health care's priority is hardly a surprise.
However, women tend to think about someone other than themselves a lot more as well, as their next highest tax priorities are protecting the environment (18%), helping homeless people (16%) and fighting world hunger (13%). None of those were huge priorities for the men surveyed, including just 7% who'd part with tax dollars to help a starving person in another country.
Not that tax priorities are always so rigid. The great equalizer in this discussion is age, and even men who don't see health care as a priority now step in line as retirement grows closer. Only 35% of Generation Y sees healthcare as something they need to worry about. Only 38% of Generation X responds with something other than "whatever" when the subject of health care tax spending comes up. Baby Boomers -- the "We're the greatest" generation inching currently its way into retirement -- shows a bit more urgency, with 44% considering affordable health care their top tax priority.

The Milwaukee Bucks have to get credit for thinking outside the box. Instead of trying to fill a position of need (guard) with players they weren't particularly thrilled with...they decided to think long-term in selecting small forward Giannis Antetokounmpo from Greece. The 18 year old is known as the "Greek Freak" and despite playing a different position will probably be compared to Rickey Rubio who took years to arrive in the US. The "Freak" hadnt left Greece until just a few weeks ago when he played with the Greek National team and didnt particulary light it up playing with a second-division Greek team this past season. He averaged 9 1/2 points per game and five rebounds and admist he hasnt played anywhere near the NBA level.
GM John Hammond would like him to learn at the NBA level and not go to the developmental league. New coach Larry Drew compares him to a young Kevin Durant. I would be happy if he turned into Toni Kukoc and not Yi Jianlian.
Rickie Weeks is smoking hot. So hot that Scooter Gennett was sent back down to AAA Nashville and Weeks was in the lead off spot yesterday. It's almost impossible to believe that a guy who was so clueless in April and May could be so good in June. Baseball is a funny game.
The Brewers took a step backwards dropping 2-3 with the Cubs...they head to Pittsburgh this weekend.
The Wausau Legion baseball team heads to Chippewa Falls for a weekend tournament. Post 10 plays the Green Bay Shockers in their first game this afternoon at 3pm. They also play at 10 & 1230 on Saturday and 530 on Sunday.
Songs of The Day (from my I-Pod)
Luka-Suzanne Vega (1987) one of a string of female singer-songwriters that popped up in the 80's and Vega was stronger than most. A song about child abuse going to #3 on the charts?? yes indeed and she released a bunch of really good albums after that as well
Lust To Love-Go Go's (1982) from the debut Beauty & The Beat that topped the US Charts for six weeks. They wrote their owns songs and played their own instruments. Basic catchy pop music.

Let's do some shopping today. Thanksgiving is one of the few meals each year where I feel free to take advantage of processed foods to make my day a little bit easier.
Pie Crusts: While I like to make my own pie crusts now, I'm not at all ashamed to say that I used frozen, gluten free pie crusts from Whole Foods for many years. They work very well for single crust pies. They do not work so well, for double-crust apple pies.
And yes, I've tried. It tasted good, but it was NOT pretty.
Pillsbury also has a new, refrigerated, gluten free pie crust, but you'd have to roll that out.
Cream Soups: Condensed cream of mushroom soup is easy to make, but you can also buy the Pacific Foods or Progresso gluten free cream of mushroom soup for your green bean casserole and gravy.
Bread: And, while I do like homemade bread the best, a store-bought frozen bread does make bread stuffing and turkey sandwiches a bit more simple.
Today's Assignment: Go to the store and buy that turkey, if you haven't already, and pick up a few GF items to make your Thanksgiving prep a bit easier.

TUESDAY, Sept. 28 (HealthDay News) -- People who engage in
unhealthy habits such as smoking, eating a poor diet and not
getting enough exercise turn out to be less productive on the job,
new Dutch research shows.
Unhealthy lifestyle choices also appear to translate into a
greater need for sick leave and longer periods of time off from
work when sick leave is taken, the study reveals.
The finding is reported in the Sept. 28 online edition of the
Occupational & Environmental Medicine.
"More than 10 percent of sick leave and the higher levels of productivity loss at work may be attributed to lifestyle behaviors and obesity," Alex Burdorf, of the department of public health at Erasmus Medical Center in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, and colleagues noted in a news release from the journal's publisher.
Between 2005 and 2009, Burdorf and his associates surveyed more
than 10,600 people who worked for 49 different companies in the
Participants were asked to discuss both lifestyle and work
habits, rating their work productivity on a scale of 0 to 10, while
offering information about their weight, height, health history and
the number of days they had to call in sick during the prior
The investigators found that 56 percent of those polled had
taken off at least one day in the preceding year because of poor
health. Being obese, smoking, and having poor diet and exercise
habits were contributing factors in just over 10 percent of sick
leave occurrences.
In particular, obese workers were 66 percent more likely to call
in sick for 10 to 24 days than normal weight employees, and 55
percent more likely to take time off for 25 days or more, the study
Smokers also took more sick leave. The cigarette habit
translated into a 30 percent greater likelihood that a worker would
take off 10 to 24 days because of poor health, Burdorf and his
colleagues reported.
By contrast, those who drank 10 or more glasses of alcohol each
week were actually less likely to take time off for poor health,
the authors observed.
Overall, the team found that weight appeared to be a key factor
in whether or not an individual had an underlying health issue that
might prompt needing sick leave.
Among obese workers, 83 percent said they had developed at least
one disease, compared with 75 percent of overweight workers and 69
percent of normal weight men and women.
With respect to productivity, 44 percent felt they performed
less than optimally in the day before taking the survey.
Nearly four percent of those with impaired productivity were
found to eat less than the recommended amount of fruits and
vegetables, while smokers made up 20 percent of that group.
"Primary interventions on lifestyle may have a noticeable contribution to maintaining a productive workforce," Burdorf and colleagues concluded in their report.

Paige Smith, an artist who works under the moniker A Common Name, creates awesome 3D street art installations in the form of resin sculptures that mimic crystals and other geological formations. The walls of brick buildings, drainpipes, and other ordinary public structures and surfaces appear to contain beautiful geodes - Urban Geodes. These enchanting installations have been embedded throughout Los Angeles and Paige has mapped their locations on the A Common Name website.
"'Geodes' in the city and the ones you find in nature have a parallel aspect — they are unexpected treasures," said A Common Name. "You might go hunting for treasures but you generally happen upon them during your adventures or casual interaction with the environment. I enjoy the fact that many people will not notice these, but some astute people will; that these will not last forever and the weather will affect them as naturally as it might in nature."

I check this place out yesterday with the familia. It's a bit expensive, but the burgers are pretty darn tasty. I had the port and stilton burger which was cooked perfectly. The port added a good amount of sweetness to contrast the stilton cheese. The hubby got the Casablanca burger, which was ground leg of lamb, merguez sausage, pickled apricots, and pomegranate aioli - which sounds a bit pretentious, but it was an incredible burger. We also had the onion rings, which are tempura battered and yummy. The one item that was "ok" were the fries. They are big blocks that are reminiscent of tater tots. I liked them, but they are definitely a love'em or hate'em item.
Anyway, there are three locations about town (a little one in the Fred Segal in SaMo, the main one in Mid-Wilshire and the Los Feliz outpost. ). Check them out.

Glenn Greenwald, the journalist who revealed National Security Agency surveillance leaks from former intelligence contractor Edward Snowden, dueled this week with former New York Times executive editor Bill Keller over objectivity in journalism. Keller argued that impartiality forces a journalist to test all assumptions. Greenwald, however, countered that impartiality didn't test assumptions as much as confer authority to each of them. He explained that his new reporting venture, a website funded by eBay co-founder Pierre Omidyar, would treat official pronouncements with skepticism.
But while this argument has been taking up a lot of the journalistic oxygen, Paul Thornton, head of the Los Angeles Times letters to the editor section, weighed in recently with a potentially more significant position. Thornton held brief for neither impartiality nor skepticism, but rather for a belief that facts matter — that they can lead to conclusions whether you happen to like those conclusions or not.
Thornton admitted that in his section, he does not run letters claiming there is no human source to global climate warming. Why don't they run? Because, according to Thornton, "Saying 'There's no sign humans have caused climate change' is not stating an opinion, it's asserting a factual inaccuracy."
It should have been the journalistic shot heard 'round the world, except not many people seem to have heard it. Get this: An editor at a major American newspaper had the temerity to say that on some issues there is such a thing as scientifically verifiable truth. In doing so, he challenged what may be the dominant force in American journalism over the past 30 years — not bias, but that standby of certain university English departments, deconstructionism, which insists there is no such thing as an immutable fact.
An editor championing truth over opinions shouldn't be an earthquake. But it is. Journalistic extremes have long disregarded fact for ideology. However the bulwarks of American journalism — our mainstream newspapers, websites, magazines, and network news broadcasts — have opted for another principle: Every opinion, no matter how uninformed, deserves equal weight — and journalists dare not come down on one side or the other. It makes balance the new objectivity.

The community thinks...
Needs polish by Xyrium on 06/01/2011. Trim: 2009 Infiniti G37x AWD, Owned 1 year.
Pros: Good power, nice handling, and decent styllng.
Cons: Interior noise, rattles, and vibration. Exhaust is not tuned at all, it's simply loud, especially during a cold start. Tried a 2010 model with the same issues.
Overall review: You get what you pay for... I'd choose an Audi for it's refinement and balance if you are seeking something reasonably sophisticated and inexpensive. BMW is the clear step up in refinement and performance over both Infiniti and Audi, but has the price tag to accompany it.

The thought of leaving the Beechcrest Mobile Home Park in North Laurel after 15 years is bittersweet for Janice Brown.
She would stay in her trailer until the roof caves in, she said, but moving does respresent a fresh start.
"Whether I like or welcome the change, it's coming," Brown said.
The Howard County Housing Commission purchased the 5.5-acre mobile home park in September and plans to build between 33 and 50 one-room apartments for the chronically homeless. The park is scheduled to close Nov. 15.
While she is not upset that the park is closing, Brown is concerned because she has "been told practically nothing" about how the county will help her find a new home.
"They're putting my life on hold," said Brown, 51. "If I'm not satisfied with the compensation they're giving me, then yes, I will fight them."
The proposed site is behind the Econo Lodge on Route 1, and sits between the Country Meadows apartment complex to the east and single-family homes to the west.
Tom Carbo, executive director of the Housing Commission, said the county is in the process of making the proper assesments to determine each resident's relocation assistance package. Assessments include an appraisal of the mobile home, determing if the home can be relocated and getting a sense of each resident's wants and needs.
Carbo said the assessments for the 38 units will take time.
"It's not a simple process," he said. "We can't tell them right now exactly what they would be getting."
According to state law, the county is required to provide the equivalent of 10 months rent as relocation assistance, but Carbo said the county will follow federal guidelines that require a greater amount of assistance.
"The minimum amount they will be getting is equivalent to 10 months," he said.
A legal battle?
While Brown said hiring an attorney is a possibility if the county does not provide adequate assistance, resident Gary Molina said he will seek legal advice.
Molina wants to ensure the county refunds him for "at least half" the money he has put into renovating his trailer.
A Beechcrest resident for nearly two years, Molina estimates he has invested about $17,000 in drywall, flooring, plumbing and other repairs.
The Housing Commission is now collecting tenants' rent through Humphrey Management, a Columbia-based property management firm.
Carbo said the rent will go toward maintenance costs, and the remainder will be used for relocation assistance.
Molina has no idea where he'll move, but is prepared to fight for what he said he deserves.
"I'm ready to use all of my savings," he said of hiring an attorney. "I will go to all of the media; I will go to senators; I will go everywhere."

Turns out, best wishes don't count for much when you're up against 1114 and 2056. But thanks for them anyways!
Buzz Aldrin would like a word with you.
Fuckin' A, Buzz. Fuckin' A.
why the heck do the dumblr kids complain about high school that shit is free and not that horrible shit gets tough when ya hit college.
Probably because high schoolers are singularly bad at dealing with things. Just in general
Without fail, the better the day, the shittier I feel when I get home.
I don't want to talk where it's not wanted, but perhaps it's not the lack of people, it's the place. Environments build feelings in their inhabitants.
Punched tape was used long before the advent of the computer. Punched paper tapes were first used to transmit telegrams more effectively and without delay. Messages were composed offline and then sent in blocks in a continuous feed. Later, these tapes would be used in the teletype machines that first on five-bit Baudot coding, a standard still used today for some radioteletype equivalents. However, paper tapes were also used in the machine tool industry. They brought about the CNC revolution. The first NC tool was made to create cross-sections for rotors in helicopters. The profiles used to be made by drilling holes at computed coordinates and then interpolating. NC made the leap of controlling the drilling and interpolation at once, going straight from the computer to the machine. This, of course, is related to the use of paper tapes in computers. Unrivaled for their resistance to EM interference when combined with their ability to loop, punched tape was used as a handy output device and as a way to loop a program. The protocols developed for punched tape no doubt gave rise to the loops and repeats of today's computer code.
The teletype is, at its most basic level, a typewriter that can interface, via a long range connection, with a distant machine, whether that be a printer, a computer, or another teletype. They had a heyday during the batch processing era, when programs would be written up, punched onto tape, and then transmitted all at once via the tape reader on the teletype to a distant mainframe. This allowed for more efficient utilization of computer time.
But teletypes were not just for computers. They were also an important method of communication. Weather bulletins, news reports, many items such as these would be broadcast via teletype networks. The staccato beat of the teletype, possible a model such as the Friden Flexowriter, a beast of a machine that deserves its own paragraph, is embedded into our newscasts and interstitial music.
The teletype also gave rise to the telex network, a system of teletypes linked together like a telephone network. Used as a secure communication system, they were used for hotlines, at one time even on the Cold War links between Moscow and DC. Telexes were also used to send emails, back when email was network mail and networks were location-dependent. Company sites in different parts of the world would type up the emails to be sent abroad and give them to a secretary, who would transcribe them and send them off over the telex to a distant locale, where they would be printed off and placed in inboxes.
Finally, the split-flap display. Invented by Remigio Solari in a patent for an electromechanical calendar-clock, the split-flap display is that stalwart of train terminals and airport departure boards, whose flickering updates bring the world closer and make travel more exciting. Its days may be past, but for many, the cascading flip-flaps meant change and travel, an experience to be remembered.
They operated on a simple principle. The flaps were attached at one end to a drum, and hung loosely. When rotated, a small protrusion would hold back the flaps and let them fall one at a time, allowing pairs of flap-sides to display anything. Their simplicity, legibility and charm made them perfect for the departure boards that were their home.
I only wish I could have been there.
One problem, one solution. Two words: Time machines.
Though we're still considering the Regionals reenactment. We'll just play Cotton Eye Joe and Gangnam Style a lot. (Oh yeah because they did that by the way. Noah and Joli were not pleased.)
Were they surprised in any way?
I'm sorry.
I really am. I wish there was a way for me to apologize without seeming shallow, but I don't know how to navigate my way around situations like these. Believe me, I never do anything (consciously) that would hurt someone. Sadly, I'm not very conscious of my actions.
I wish I could write this without the sterility of a bad obituary.
I am a flawed person. I wish I could do better by people, and I try everyday. In some respects, it may have been better for the team that I left. They got to try new ideas, and throw off my stale agitprop. My departure freed the team to be more innovative and focused. I would have just been a distraction. Looking at the positive results, I can hardly argue that it would have been better had I been there. People are quick to remember the positives of person, and many probably didn't recall my hard-handedness, my yelling, my jerkishness. I can imagine that, had I been there, I would have been a drag on things, holding the team back with my own personal desires.
I probably shouldn't be answering this at all.
Back in January, I really was excited about moving, and I am pretty quick to embrace the new in terms of experiences. I want to try, to see as much as I can. Looking back, the tradeoffs are not as good. I missed so much this past season, and I want nothing more than to have been with the team when it reigned triumphant.
I'm sad that my actions up to my departure may have hurt people. But in my defence, I felt that acting sad that I was leaving would have been lying. It was a truly bittersweet time. I was sad to leave the team, don't get me wrong, but I was so excited to be going someplace new, I let that overpower my other feelings. I got carried away, and in the immortal words of a song whose name I cannot remember, "You don't know what you've got 'til it's gone." It's only now that I truly feel homesickness, and I crave the informal contact that so often graced my time back home. There is no one here with whom I can be truly myself, for that dubious honor still belongs only to people back home.
I wish I was better at this sort of thing.
I'm sorry if I shouldn't have answered this. I'm sorry if this appears insensitive or mean or anything. I really wish I had the emotional vocabulary to write about these things. I just don't have the lexicon for matters of feels.
I wrote this back on 13 April of 2011, and thought it deserved a posting here.
Everyone, remember this: 50 years ago, in the USSR, a man lifted off the ground in a rocket, bound to orbit the Earth. 50 years ago, humankind first circled our blue marble, sending forth Yuri Gagarin in the ship Vostok 3KA. 50 years ago, on 11 April 1961, man flew. Fifty years later, we continue to do so. Celebrate this. Celebrate the first 50 years of human spaceflight. Celebrate the fact that people have been born into an era when men have walked on the moon, when scientists orbit the earth, and when messages are bounced off of synthetic satellites. Rejoice in the idea that the human race has made it past our atmosphere, and begun to explore in a brighter dawn, lit by a quadrillion suns. As we grow in scale and in number, remember this: 50 years ago, on this date, at 6:07 UTC, a human being left this small fragile sphere to momentarily become a satellite of this Earth.
I wrote this back on 9 July 2011. Same thing.
Today ends an era. The final space shuttle launch has taken place. The program was not the most efficient, by far. Nor was it cheap. But in a way, the shuttle did more for our perception of space than anything else.
Many of us are people who have always known that the space shuttle existed. It started in 1981, and today ends it's 30-year launch history. Adults exist who have never known a world without it. And that is part of it. It brought space closer. It made spaceflight normal. It helped fuel the dreams of a generation.
Good Luck, Atlantis. And Godspeed.
I do enjoy this, waxing poetic about historical events. I'm open to requests (I'm told that soliciting work is the hip thing on the internet these days.)

Fantastic game, something new for the current generation, its refreshing and addictive. CHAOS is the right word to describe Twisted metal. If u are looking for a new multiplayer experience, this is the game for you. I would even go further and say this is one of the best multiplayer exp. i ever had. Well balanced, No camping, no K/D ratio BS and no lag. MP gameplay is smooth. i felt Single player campaign was an afterthought, but doesn't matter, Buy this game for MP. Money well worth spend.

Trust me ppl it is one of the best video games ever in the history of ps3 !! The graphics and gameplay are flawless !!! Its rated 9/10 by ign , need not say more !!! It comes with free network pass and also pass to download free twisted metal black( twisted metal released before ) .... This product is a totalaisa vasool !?.......
I purchased it long back, but am reviewing it now. The twisted metal franchise was something that caused me to buy a PS3. The game on PS3 is not bad, but I was disappointed. The realism is lacking in the game. A bit more realistic graphics would have made a much better game. I think the game Twisted Metal: Black for PS2 is better than this in that regard. But anyway, if you like vehicular combat, there is nothing better for the PS3 than this.

Economic Trends
Policy Rule Changes
One area of active interest for both policymakers and market watchers is to find a simple rule (or rule of thumb) that approximates Fed policy on interest rates. John Taylor came up with the first such rule in 1993, and since then, a number of variations have been proposed. One variation suggests that the Fed responds positively to increases in inflation above target (currently 2 percent) and negatively when unemployment increases.
While this simple rule of thumb tracks broad movements in the federal funds rate, the average absolute value of the miss is 87 basis points. To put this another way, if we assumed that our best guess of today's funds rate was yesterday's funds rate, the average absolute miss would only be 32 basis points.
For this reason, it is frequently argued that the Fed responds not only to inflation and unemployment, but also to last quarter's funds rate. A rule incorporating all of these elements is known as a partial adjustment rule. In practice, this rule would mean that the central bank uses the Taylor rule as its intermediate target and only partially moves the level of the funds rate to this value at every meeting.
At first glance, this rule tracks the funds rate remarkably well. But looks can be deceiving. The deviation of the funds rate from its predicted value is given by the vertical distance in the chart below. Take the end of 2001, for example. The miss on that date was a whopping 133 basis points. Since the average absolute funds rate change is only 32 basis points, this 133 basis point miss is huge. Even more disconcerting is that it does not beat the naive rule, where the funds rate today is given by yesterday's funds rate and the average absolute miss is 32 basis points. As the chart shows, the partial adjustment rule is essentially a simple phase shift of the actual funds rate.
Obviously, there is still something important missing from this partial adjustment rule. One possibility is that the rule assumes that the Fed is adjusting the level of the funds rate to the level of the Taylor rule. Implicit in this way of thinking is that no change in the funds rate translates to no policy change. But if the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) had been steadily reducing rates by 25 basis points over the past few meetings, keeping rates constant would probably be viewed by most as a change in the course of policy. This type of thinking focuses on changes in the funds rate and not the level of the funds rate.
Metaphorically, if a boat is traveling east toward the harbor at five knots, should we think of the constantly changing location as a change in the skipper's policy, or should we think of a change in the skipper's policy as a change in the boat's speed? With a level policy, the current speed is independent of the past speed and depends only on his current distance from his destination. But such a policy may imply a very sharp acceleration or deceleration, which could be uncomfortable for the passengers (markets). The change in policy we consider is one where the skipper considers both the distance from the destination and his recent speed. This implies a smoother path into the harbor.
We explore a description of monetary policy expressed in terms of funds rate changes, instead of the level of the funds rate. Here the change in the funds rate moves gradually toward an intermediate target. There is a subtle but important distinction between the traditional level rule and our change rule. Suppose that at the previous meeting the FOMC had increased the rate to 3.25 percent. Under the traditional level rule (a partial adjustment rule based on the level), the FOMC's choice today is independent of how the FOMC arrived at 3.25 percent at its last meeting. In contrast, under our change rule (a partial adjustment rule based on the change in the rate), the FOMC would also consider the rate changes that led it to 3.25 percent.
Our change rule expresses the change in the funds rate as a weighted average of yesterday's change in the funds rate and the deviation of yesterday's funds rate from a simple Taylor rule, or the "intermediate target."
Compared to the level rule, the improvement in fit with the change rule is substantial: a reduction of 10 basis points in the residual. This reduction is sizeable, given that the average rate change is 32 basis points. There is one problem with the change rule: It often overshoots the actual funds rate at the end of sustained policy movements. The change rule is trying to proxy for the idea that the FOMC does not like to change the course of policy abruptly. That is, other things equal, the FOMC would not want to decrease rates if there is a likelihood that it would need to increase rates in the near future.
Focusing on shorter subperiods highlights some of the differences between the level and change rules. The phase shift under the level rule is quite evident, while this shift is largely eliminated with the change rule. For example, during the sustained increase in rates starting in early 2005, the level rule is always a quarter behind, while the change rule is on target. There is also the overshooting under the change rule, overshooting at both the end of 2006, and the fall of 2008.
These two episodes are almost certainly a manifestation of the fact that the FOMC does not mechanically follow a simple policy rule but responds to unusual developments in the economy. The 2006 overshooting is likely a reflection of the FOMC's desire to limit funds rate increases in the wake of the substantial change in the behavior of house prices. As for the fall of 2008, almost certainly the FOMC moderated the funds rate decline (relative to the change rule) because of the near proximity of the zero bound (where the funds rate approached zero). This moderation may have derived from the FOMC's desire to save some policy ammunition for a later date. A similar argument likely applies for the change rule's overshooting in the spring of 2002. A review of FOMC minutes reveals that there was discussion of the zero bound at the January 2002 meeting.

The other day, some crazy old bat stole my keys. My housekeys, carkeys. Fortunately for me, I have a spare flat carkey in my wallet and my sister's got a copy of my housekeys.
How do I know she stole them? I don't for sure. I can tell you what happened, though.
I know that this crazy woman had to be tied down by yours truly to prevent her from ripping out two fat flank chest tubes, her peripheral iv, and her epidural catheter. She scratched me up. As I tried to get her changed out of her bloody hospital gown and into a clean one, I and my charge RN, Rita had to restrain her from crawlin out of bed naked and screaming. We got the blood cleaned up, the chest tube dressing reinforced, and her body and then eventually her hands tied down so she'd quit yankin on stuff placed for good reason into her body.
I know she tried to take the epidural keys, which I'd set on the bed as I fiddled with changing the epidural med (to something less likely to make her barking mad and paranoid). I noticed and asked, What are you doing? I don't think I listened to the answer, I just took the keys back out of where she was trying to bury them.
My keys were found two days later in the laundry bag. The laundry bags that are changed qshift. The ones that, had the keys been in there originally because I may have accidentally dropped them there, would have been either found on my shift or sent to the facility laundry several days ago, when I actually took care of the patient. But they were found yesterday by housekeeping. In the laundry basket. Nobody knows how they got there, two days after I'd lost them. One of my very kind and considerate colleagues locked them up in her locker.
Crazy ol bat.
I know I'm supposed to feel this well of compassion for this frail elderly woman who is medically complex, and confused, and going through a great deal of mental anguish not to mention that chest tubes HURT. I recall the moments when she said, after begging me to untie her, and me explaining it is not safe for her to do so...."I'm very disappointed in my daughter that she's allowing this to happen to me." It genuinely broke my heart. That frail old woman was absolutely aware that I'd tied her down; she felt shame and humiliation and at that moment, absolutely blamed her daughter for it. And she was disappointed. She was incapable of cognitively reasoning that she cannot pull out the tubes lodged into her chest, because she was utterly convinced that we were trying to kill her. At least, that's what the police officer said when he called the unit to tell us a Mrs. So and So had called 911 on us. (Thank you, Officer, no. Yes. I'll keep the phone out of reach until she's more oriented. Sorry to trouble you, thank you. Yes, good night.)
(I said to Carmen, an RN I know with a light heart & humor, "She called the cops on us." "Cool! Did they come?" It got me to giggle after all the blood and paranoia and stupid sturm and drang.)
And it's her daughter's fault, and she was very disappointed.
I'd been on the phone with same daughter many, many times that night to update her on her mother's condition, and the daughter explained the family history of dementia and odd bursts of paranoia, and how this happened on her mother's previous surgery. I could hear the daughter wring her hands, and ask what she should do, should she come down there? Would that help her?
I reassured the daughter that her mother appeared to be suffering from some confusion related to the recent anesthesia. How it would be easier on both of them for the mother to be angry at me. How there's nothing to be done but keep her mother from hurting herself and wait for it to clear. How the physicians were all aware of what was happening, and their plan was simply to wait and let it clear. How she should try and rest and come in the next morning.
And the mother, I'm sure, shot some stinging accusation at her daughter the next morning. Stinging words she thinks she means right now, and the daughter will really feel. I feel awful for them both because of that.
I know all these things. And I did feel genuine compassion at the time.
Then I realized the old bitch stole my keys.
Is it okay to be annoyed?

Yes, be very, very annoyed.
If I'd have lost mine, I'd still be hunting for them. I cannot get a spare key made for my car due to some transmitter thingy in the key itself.

small ring: 12 sheets of 5cm squares, elephant hide
larger ring: 12 sheets of 7.5cm squares, elephant hide
small ring: height of 1.35cm , diameter of 5cm
larger ring: height of 2cm, diameter of 7.2cm
What do you do with some "scraps" of left-over elephant hide? Exactly, cut some small squares from it, and fold Mette's Ring. Actually, this is a small variation. Rather than making the ring quite 2D (as suggested in the diagrams), I followed Dáša's advice and folded this variation. In essence, rather than folding the module in half in the last step, you broaden that one crease to a wider area. And, as it turns out, Paolo Bascetta published this variation in his book. :)
By the way, this image shows all the shades of elephant hide I have.
In the small ring I used: bright white, light gray, dark gray, black.
In the larger ring I used: white, chamois, light brown.
For the backdrop: light gray.
Ah, probably worth mentioning: at this size the elephant hide was quite thick. I made good use of my bone folder instead of ruining my finger nails.
try how you like it best and try to find a good reference to make all units the same
Simply define a reference for yourself and repeat that. I think I aligned a corner with an intersection of two layers of paper back when I folded this - but I also made it up on the spot.
Don't be scared to experiment!
-- Sara
I think Michael LaFosse has that same design in his book "Origami Activities", called "Chinese Zodiac Wheel". Seems like several people have discovered the same 3D ring independently. He also has an 8-unit variation called "I Ching Wheel" in the same book.
where are those creases made to make it 3d anyways?

OneBag3 is the latest in a long line of bag replacements for the default game bags that will combine all of your bags into one frame.
OneBag has a long history of minimalism and OneBag3 will continue to uphold the standard of easy of use and simplicity it's predecessors set. Like the earlier versions OneBag3 will continue to offer powerful options for those who wish to delve a little deeper.
Also in the vein of earlier iterations I've kept to the philosophy of doing as little work as possible, as a result the code base is very small, and most of it is in the OneCore library. As of the time of writing there are only 213 lines of code unique to OneBag3, and only 981 lines of code in OneCore itself. LoC is a horrible stat in general, but it's fun none the less, and I cheat horribly since I build off the powerful Ace3 libraries.
- Combines all of your bags into one.
- Customizable number of columns
- Inherent support for addons that interact with the default bags
- Color coded slots by item rarity or bag type
- Will automatically open and close for you when visiting the auction house, bank, mailbox, merchant or when trading with another player.
- Allows only certain bags to be displayed, either by slot or type
- Custom bag bar which will highlight it's associated slots on mouseover. This highlighting can be locked in place by clicking.
- Customizable scale, background color, alpha, and more.
- Clean and powerful graphical configuration
Future Plans
- Release OneView3, and OneVault3

I want to thank all the users who've been using OneBag for so long. I'm hoping not to leave the code on autopilot quite like I did once OB2 went stable, although it was nice to not have to touch it for almost two years.

Not sure if theres a plugin or something for this, but is there a way to get a search bar, so it's possible to quickly search through the bags for certain things.

I wrote a small patch that will put a yellow border on quest items. I'm not sure if anyone else than me will find this useful, but I often find myself shuffling through my items to find a particular quest item. This is a time saver. :)
Feel free to include this in the addon, in its original or rewritten form.

Apply for Aid
Welcome to our five-step guide to the financial aid process. Our FAFSA school code is 001241.
Step 1: Apply for Federal Aid
Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA)
US citizens, permanent residents, and other eligible non-citizens must submit the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). This application determines your eligibility for federal, state, and institutional sources of financial aid. Please complete the online FAFSA application by March 1st for fall semester admission.
You must apply for a personal identification number (PIN) before you begin. This pin number allows you to access and sign the online FAFSA application. In Section 6, please include our School Code: 001241 so that we receive your financial information from federal processors.
After a few weeks, the US Department of Education will send you a Student Aid Report (SAR) summarizing the information reported on the FAFSA. Please review this report online and make appropriate corrections if necessary.
International and non-degree students should skip this step. You are not eligible for US federal financial aid, but you should submit the Monterey Institute Financial Aid Application as explained in Step 2.
Step 2: Complete the Institute Financial Aid Application
In addition to the FAFSA, all students interested in financial aid must complete the Monterey Institute Financial Aid Application. Once you have completed the FAFSA application, we will email you the link to our internal application. We will contact you at the email address that you reported on the FAFSA, so please check this email address regularly. International and non-degree students should contact us to receive this application.
After reviewing your FAFSA and the Monterey Institute Financial Aid Application, we may ask you to submit additional documentation, such as a signed copy of your taxes or verification of citizenship status. We are required by federal regulations to verify this information before issuing a financial aid award letter. We will contact you via email if we require additional information.
Step 3: Receive a Financial Aid Award Letter
If you are an admitted student and your financial aid files are complete by March 1, you will receive a financial aid award letter via email by April 1. Please review the award letter carefully because it outlines the types of financial aid you have been offered. Follow the instructions accompanying the award letter to accept or decline your offered awards.
Step 4: Complete Additional Requirements
To receive federal student loans, you must complete the Master Promissory Note (MPN) and Entrance Counseling at www.studentloans.gov to familiarize yourself with the loan and repayment process. You must also complete the Student Certification page from the Financial Aid Handbook accompanying your financial aid award letter. Loan funds will not be disbursed until you complete these requirements.
Step 5: Receive Funding
If you have completed all of the required steps and are registered for classes, your financial aid will be released at the beginning of the semester. We will credit your student account for the total amount. For students whose financial aid amount exceeds tuition and fees, we will issue you a refund check within the first two weeks of classes. Please note that we cannot release the refund check before the first day of class. The earlier you complete steps 1 through 4, the earlier the funds will be available.

Traffic in front of Providence Shopping Center in Mt. Juliet is moving better after the city linked eight traffic signals together. "We have some back up but when the signals come on, when they engage there is a good chance you are going to get a green [light] through the process," explained Public Works Director Marlin Keel. In the past the traffic signals worked independently from each other along the short stretch of road near Interstate 40."You would drive a few yards and then you then you would have to stop again. It was stop and go, stop and go all the way," Mt. Juliet driver Tara Wilee said, adding, "The traffic was crazy. People would try to find different ways to get to their destination."Keel told Nashville's News 2 he knew the city had a problem that needed to be addressed. "It was like winning the lottery to get a green light moving north to south through here," he recalled. In an effort to synchronize the lights, the city hired a firm to study traffic patterns and set the traffic signals on a three phase timing plan which covers the morning, midday and afternoon-evening time periods."The operational sequence enables the signals to work together during those times," Keel said. With the newly linked traffic lights, drivers said they have already seen a major difference. "I see traffic moving along a lot easier. Not so much of a hesitation to get through the lights," motorist John Petree said. Keel added the city is also looking into future traffic control equipment that would allow real time traffic corrections based on real time traffic problems.

But that's wrong. The house belongs to John Mack's son, a photographer and author.
We can see where the confusion comes from. In 2009, John Mack Senior bought one of Bunny Mellon's (seemingly endless) real estate holdings, a "carriage house" on East 70th Street for $13.5 million. Mack has mentioned having an apartment in the city before too (along with holdings in Westchester and North Carolina), so it wouldn't be surprising if he sold his old holdings and moved into new, remodeled digs.
Even though that's not the case, John Mack Jr.'s pad is definitely fit for a CEO. There's an awesome view from the top, 11 foot ceilings, the only fireplace in the building, and great big windows.

Second Death Confirmed in CO: Obama promises federal aid
"I'm kind of dreading returning." One Colorado Springs resident said as firefighters continued to fight back a blaze outside the town on Saturday. Two people have been confirmed dead and 350 homes have been destroyed after a wildfire swept into the town's outskirts. President Barack Obama visited the area swept by the Waldo Canyon Fire, which has caused more than 35,000 people to evacuate. The president promised federal aid to the stricken area, saying, "We have been putting everything we have into trying to deal with what is the worst fires we've seen here in Colorado."


text: Immigration is a heated political issue, both at the dinnertable and at the Capitol. There are personal connections: family, friends and colleagues struggling to deal with an outdated immigration system. And there are political dramas: party officials looking at new Americans as a potential voting bloc and source of economic stimulus. Yet the country can't seem to find common ground on immigration, and politicians from states like Alabama and Idado -- places with few immigrants -- rail against the scourge of illegal immigration, while more moderate voices stay quiet. In the backdrop are the families being torn apart by deportations, the businesses looking for workers but not finding them, and the cities waiting to be revitalized by enterprising newcomers.

The Union of European Football Associations announced today that it would be fining Italian striker Antonio Cassano €15,000 for anti-gay comments he made in advance of the Euro 2012 championships. In response to a question about whether or not there were gay players on the Italy squad, Cassano replied, "I hope there are none. But if there are queers here, that's their business." He later said that he regrets that his statements "have sparked controversy and protest from gay rights groups."

Body and mind are inseparable. Being lost or absent from either shuts us off from wholeness and a fuller realization of our creative potential. Through sessions of meditation, body movement and voice improvisation exercises designed to integrate the body, breath and mind, participants will learn how to connect/reconnect with their bodies – deepening awareness, cutting through habitual patterns, and dissolving barriers that keep us feeling both fatigued and fragmented.
Vicki Tansey - dancer, singer, and visual artist – has been performing and teaching for over 40 years. Trained in both classical and contemporary dance, she is an accredited Tai Chi teacher, long-time meditation practitioner, and has been on the faculties of the National Theatre School of Canada, the Visual Arts Centre, the Saidye Bronfman School of Fine Arts, and the Dance, Theatre and Fine Arts Departments of Concordia University in Montréal.
