He switched goalies before the game, bamboozling everyone, and explained the reason after the game: "Quite frankly, because he [Andersen]'s hurt right now [I can talk]. I looked at the record of both guys in Staples Center and Hiller was 0-7 in his career and Freddie was 2-0, so it was a little baseball managing. I went with the guy who was comfortable here. That's all I have to say."
But he couldn't stick with that goalie anyway, because he got hurt with about ten minutes to go and had to be switched out anyway. He, of course, is Anaheim's coach Bruce Boudreau, and he was speaking in the shadow of his team's 3-2 win over the LA Kings. This makes their series 2-1, his disadvantage.
The other switches that Boudreau pulled were to put Sami Vatanen in on defense in place of Mark Fistric, and to add Kyle Palmieri at forward to spell Emerson Etem. The coach said that Vatanen was the best player on the ice, "for both teams." He summed up his changes by saying, "I thought they were good changes that worked, at least for tonight." The thing is, these teams are so close, that's not likely to continue. But wait for that.
The Ducks won on a goal early on the power play, one by Selanne nearing the end of period two, and a final tally by Ben Lovejoy with three minutes left. The Kings responded with two goals of their own, including one with 31 seconds to go which made the game 3-2 and threatened to put them right where they'd been in game one of the series, which they stole with a tieing marker with seven seconds left in regulation. The Kings' final goal came after Corey Perry could have scored into an empty net with a minute left but saw his stick break and the puck go wide. The Kings picked it up and circled to the Anaheim zone, scoring with 30.8 seconds left.
The Ducks won, but not by playing their game necessarily. Though they're known for flinging the puck around, making long and often diagonal passes, they were unable to do that on this evening. The Kings, a team content to play on shortened ice and contain the other team's ability to handle the puck and to skate, were successful in forcing their will on the game. But Boudreau didn't see the game as having been lopsided. Rather, he pitched it as pretty much even.
"It's no surprise to me, because we've played them nine times this year, and every game has been like that. I expect them all to be like that." Like what? Tight, closely contested. Down to the wire. That's Kings-Ducks hockey, but is it surprising that games are pretty much a toss-up at this time of year? The closeness in this series is as it might be with any two of the final eight teams. Of course one's not going to be tons better than the other one at this point in the season. Witness Montreal-Boston, playing to a 0-0 tie in regulation.
But there are differences between the Kings and Ducks. LA plays defense first. They don't score that much. The Ducks go all-out for the risks, trying the long pass even if it gets intercepted. They don't mind falling behind, because they come from behind so well.
Boudreau said he thought his team played better in Anaheim. Sutter commented that Thursday's was a well-played game, saying, "We could have won tonight, and they could have won last game," essentially restating the Anaheim coach.
"So far, [home ice] hasn't meant anything. I hope that goes at least one more game," Boudreau said. He said they're both good teams and that each has a great road record, so there's nothing much to choose between them.
Sutter was less than pleasant in his post-game comments. This is not to say rude, but rather short. As in, some of the answers were one word. He was, however, sure as to what cost his team the game. "The difference in the game was a turnover when it was 1-1, and then they had a penalty kill . . ." this trailed off.
The turnover he was talking about led to the Selanne goal, which he said, "was a turnover with about seven seconds left in the power play, so it's not really a penalty kill, it's basically, a, you've got to make a better play. When you get a chance to shoot the puck, you're able to shoot the puck, you can't [inaudible] there."
He did give away something of both his discontentment and the key he sees to victory near the end of his comments. "High-scoring team. You . . . give guys easy passes, opportunities towards our goaltending, they're going to beat us. That's what they did tonight." The last sentence had an odd, upward inflection, indicating–what?–his anger with the player who was unnamed but who made the crucial mistake? But then again, nothing's surprising with this coach.
The thing was, analysis of the game shows that the Ducks were not shooting the puck, which is to say, not playing their game. They tallied only 22 in the game, and there were a number of times when they passed up shots or held the puck too long. For instance, in the third period, Getzlaf got a shot-pass from Perry, and he held the puck and faded left, then shot. He waited too long. It was exactly what he'd done at the start of the game, when he stole a puck in the slot and held it instead of shooting, then had to pass it backwards to Beleskey trying to get something out of the play. No shot came.
In period two it was more of the same. He took a shot, but the next play moved in to fire it, waiting, waiting, delaying too long. At the end of the night, he had four shots and Selanne had three, but those were the team highs. Put it down to the Kings' defense exerting its will, and that's not just "defensemen," but rather, the team scheme that has everyone forcing back to cover their end.
For the Kings, Trevor Lewis had five shots, Carter and Gaborik four apiece. They tallied 31 altogether. They tested Andersen reasonably well, with a couple of glove saves the most spectacular of the night. One came off of Jeff Carter, early. Another came on a snatching save he picked out of the air with a flourish as if to say, "yeah, I'm in this." Of course, at some point, he was in no longer, and yet there was no visible moment where he got hurt. Call it a groin strain or pull as the most likely cause, and figure that means that Hiller is the new and once more number one. Then hope, if you like the Ducks, that he doesn't get clocked, and that his head is straight after having been passed over for the starting job on Thursday despite having played well in the prior two and a half games.
The hero of the night, Ben Lovejoy, scored his second goal of the playoffs with 17:05 gone in P3. It was a two-on-one where he got the puck on the right side, held it, and then lazered it past Quick. Most forwards would be proud to possess a wrist shot that powerful.
After the late goal there was a bit of a flurry, but no close chance for the Kings to tie the game.
The Ducks equipment guy was polling players after as to whether they'd "be here" for practice tomorrow, but "here" couldn't be Staples, as there's basketball there Friday night. The team is staying across the street at a hotel.
The game Saturday night is at 6pm, an odd time, but obviously intended to draw in some East Coast TV viewers.

Hartnell College Helps to Meet Shortage of Operating Room Nurses in Central California
October 31st, 2003
A new Hartnell College program is helping to meet the shortage of operating room nurses in Central California.
The Regional Health Occupations Resource Center (RHORC), located at Hartnell, is training operating room nurses, also known as perioperative nurses, via video conferencing from Hartnell to Bakersfield Community College, College of the Sequoias, Fresno City College, and Modesto Junior College. Hartnell students attend the live presentations on campus.
The program's second class of 27 students is expected to graduate in December.
"Most persons enrolled in our program," said RHORC Director Kathleen Schrader, "are Registered Nurses who are interested in becoming operating room nurses." Noting that Nov. 9-15 is National Perioperative Nurses Week, she said operating room nurses care for patients before, during and immediately after surgery.
Lectures are based on the national guidelines of the Association of Perioperative Nurses.
Students attend labs at their local colleges, allowing them to practice hands-on skills needed for the operating room. Many of the RNs enrolled in the program also receive practical operating room experience at their place of employment. Clinical practice opportunities are provided by Salinas Valley Memorial Hospital, Mee Memorial Hospital in King City, Community Hospital of the Monterey Peninsula and surgery centers in Salinas and Monterey.
The program, underwritten by a $700,000 grant from the California Community College Chancellor's Office, takes a semester to complete.
The next class will begin Jan. 27, 2004.
For more information, contact program manager/instructor Frances Bullman, also an operating room nurse at Salinas Valley Memorial Hospital, at (831) 770-6103 or (831) 755-6916.

Wisdom - Chapter Nine of Shantideva's Way of the Bodhisattva
Eleven Tuesdays from September 17th to December 10th (no class 10/29), from 7-9:15 pm
This class will take a slow, grounded journey into the world of madhyamika. We will address such basic questions as "What are we talking about when we talk about existence? How do we actually think things exist? What do we find when we look closer and closer at things? Why is causation so important? What is empty of what? How does all this help us?"
Using the framework and content of the famous "Wisdom" chapter from Shantideva's Bodhicaryavatara as the main reference point, we will strive to make the text more accessible by branching off into the background and details of the various major topics—such as the Buddhist tenet systems, the schema of the 75 or 100 dharmas, the classification of phenomena into existents and non-existents, and the way cognition works with different types of objects—as they arise throughout the chapter, and which Shantideva assumes his readers are versed in.
We will use the version of the Bodhicharyavatara translated by Padmakara Translation Group, called The Way of the Bodhisattva, for the root text of the ninth chapter, and two supporting texts. Participants should purchase the book Practicing Wisdom by His Holiness the Dalai Lama. A sourcebook of additional readings will also be required; hard copies will be available for purchase at cost and the pdf file will be available without charge.
This course is open to students who have taken the Intermediate Buddhist Studies courses, particularly the Way of the Bodhisattva course, or with permission of the instructor. If you are interested in the course but not sure about taking it, please come check out the first session or two, to help you decide.
Derek Kolleeny became a student of Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche in the 1970s and has been teaching the Buddhism for 20 years and the Advanced Buddhist Studies courses for the last twelve years.

How to Reach Amarnath Yatra 2014
Srinagar Airport Is the Nearest airport for Shri Amarnath Ji Cave.After Getting Down at Srinagar Airport Take taxi, Go to Hotel or Baltal Directly. you should stay at Baltal and next morning from there ,get Helicopter and get down at Panchtarni, after getting down at Panchtarni go for Darshan By Walk, because there is No other means available for trekking excent Donkey, Ponny, Dolly etc.Means by Air Your Journey will become Very Shorter and may finish in 2 Days Only.
The Holy Cave
Situated in a narrow gorge at the farther end of Lidder Valley, Amarnath Shrine stands at 3,888 m, 46 Km from Pahalgam and 14 Kms from Baltal. Though the original pilgrimages subscribes that the yatra (journey) be undertaken from Srinagar, the more common practice is to begin journey at Chandanwari, and cover the distance to Amarnathji and back in five days. Pahalgam is 96 Kms from Srinagar.
History of Holy Yatra
The ancient epics narrate another story. The valley of Kashmir was under water. It was all a big lake. Kashyap Rishi drained the water through a number of rivers and rivulets. In those days Bhrigu Rishi came that way on a visit to The Himalayas. He was the first to have Darshan of this Holy Cave. When people heard of the Lingam, Amarnath for them became Shiva's abode and a Centre of pilgrimage.

Chennai could prove MS Dhoni's pivotal landmark
Tomes have been written about how captaincy affects a player's batting. Sourav Ganguly, for example, averaged eight runs per innings higher when he was not captain; Rahul Dravid averaged 44 as captain, and 53 when he was not.
But the reverse - how batting affects captaincy - has not been commented upon nearly as much although much has been made of the two captains who led with remarkably efficiency despite their own poor batting in a series. Tiger Pataudi was finished as a batsman when he was recalled against Clive Lloyd's West Indies in 1974-75, but as a captain he was able to raise the team's performance to level the series after being two Tests down. Similarly Mike Brearley, who inspired the deposed captain Ian Botham in the Ashes series of 1981.
When captains strike form in the manner that Mahendra Singh Dhoni has in the current series against Australia, the possibilities suddenly expand. After his destructive double century in Chennai, it will be interesting to see what Dhoni does as captain. The recent defeats have made him more defensive, less given to experimentation, and affected his work both behind and in front of the stumps. That is but natural. Chennai might be the turning point not just in Dhoni's batting but in his captaincy as well.
Already he had shown his hand in the previous Test, against England at Nagpur where he made 99 by playing five bowlers. After his 224 in Chennai and victory there, he has given his theory a firmness that was lacking earlier: In India, he has said, it makes sense to play five bowlers. In India, or anywhere else, it makes sense for Dhoni to bat at number six. One of the fallouts of that is an extension in the career of Ravindra Jadeja who for a while now has been seen as a batsman when he is bowling and dismissed as a bowler when he is batting. It is a cruel joke, but Dhoni seems determined to change that.
He has said that he will keep the seat warm at number six till Jadeja is ready to take over there as a full-fledged allrounder.
More importantly, the confidence that Dhoni has gained from his batting and its effect on the match result might result in a return to the days when he was willing to experiment, take a chance and first built a reputation for following his instinct. It is possible that India might play an unchanged team in Hyderabad, the Chennai win granting the opening pair, both batsmen and bowlers, another opportunity to redeem themselves.
In Kolkata after a defeat against England Dhoni had said that playing on was the more difficult option since it would be so easy to give up. It took courage to say that, to play on, and the Chennai success was fully deserved. He took the game by the scruff of its neck - a game that seemed to be meandering along on day three even as Dhoni approached a hundred. Dhoni got bogged down in the 90s before stepping on the pedal and speeding away.
Suddenly Australia played like India have in recent matches - becoming a rudderless, misfielding, shoulder-drooping outfit which was merely marking time. The psychological impact of Dhoni's series on the rest of the series is bound to be immense. Its impact on his captaincy will be followed with great interest too.
No captain has won more Tests for India, and despite the lopsided home-away percentage in 44 matches (16 wins at home, five away), it ensures that Dhoni will figure in any discussion on Indian captains. But in cricket, statistics only give us a part of the story. Victor Trumper, one of the all-time great batsmen in the game, averaged just 39 but he is often rated above Don Bradman.
It is this divide that Dhoni will have to cross. From being a statistically superior captain to one whose greatness as a tactician and leader of men is not in doubt. Chennai might just be the starting point.

NEW YORK (AP) — For the second time this year, Florida billionaire William Koch (KOHK') has come to federal court in Manhattan to testify that he's been victimized by fake wine.
Koch took the stand Friday at the trial of an Indonesian-born immigrant accused of selling more than $1.3 million of counterfeit wine bottles to wealthy collectors.
He told reporters afterward that he's spent $25 million to "shine a bright light on the fake wine business." He said he bought 219 fake bottles for $2.1 million from the defendant.
He also revealed that he has decorated the walls of his Florida bathroom with wine bottles and used corks for the ceiling.
Earlier this year, Koch won a $12 million Manhattan jury award in a civil dispute against a California businessman.

A Crucifixion in Memphis: The King Assassination and What We Know Now

As a Christian minister, I have always been moved by John 14:12.
"Very truly I tell you, whoever believes in me will do the works I have been doing, and they will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father."
I believe the works Jesus speaks of, are literally that: works, as in hard work and sacrifice for others. If we are to be emulative of Christ, then we must do thework. Believing in Him, and emulating his work for others than our individual selves, makes us eligible to fulfill His promise of doing even greater works than His own.
No matter our station in life, each of us is can fulfill that promise. Whether we are rich or poor, famous or known by just a few, each of us can believe and do great works for others. My mother was not famous, but when I eulogized her on Ash Wednesday two years ago, I described her as one who believed and, therefore, did greater works for others.
Of course, believing, serving, loving and working on behalf of others as Jesus did can have a price.
As we observe Easter, and the crucifixion of three -- the two unknown men on Calvary and the one well-known man, Jesus himself -- we should also reflect and return to a more recent Calvary, in fact the Calvary of our generation -- Memphis, Tenn. -- where 45 years ago three crucifixions also occurred -- two unknown men, one well-known.
On Thursday, Feb. 1, 1968, Echol Cole and Robert Walker were on their jobs, picking up trash in Memphis, and riding the trash truck on the outside using handholds and footrests, until a torrential rain began. Historian Taylor Branch writes that "city rules barred shelter stops in residential neighborhoods -- after citizen complaints about unsightly 'picnics' by the Negro sanitation workers." So Cole and Walker had no choice but to seek shelter near the very mouth of the truck's trash compactor. Somehow, the compactor motor was triggered, and the two men were caught and crushed to death.
Because the city would not allow Memphis sanitation workers to organize a union, there were no death or survivor benefits following the two tragic deaths.
On Sunday, Feb. 4, 1968, three days later, the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., preached one of his most famous sermons, "The Drum Major Instinct," at Atlanta's Ebenezer Baptist Church. Dr. King, likened his own struggle to that of Christ: "They called him a rabble-rouser. They called him a troublemaker. They said he was an agitator."
And Dr. King spoke of his own death and what he wanted said at his funeral.
"If you want to say that I was a drum major, say that I was a drum major for justice. Say that I was a drum major for peace. I was a drum major for righteousness. And all of the other shallow things will not matter."
But in that sermon, Dr. King also told the story of the misunderstanding between Jesus and His disciples as to what is greatness. Dr. King agreed with Jesus' that greatness is service -- works in service of others -- and it was his own drum major instinct to serve that would lead him to Memphis despite misunderstandings between Dr. King's and his own disciples about the importance of Memphis.
Two days after that historic sermon, Dr. King led Clergy And Laity Concerned About Vietnam in a prayer vigil at Arlington National Cemetery. As he prayed, Rabbi Abraham Heschel perhaps foreshadowed the days to come as he echoed Jesus's cry on the cross: "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?"

Today my favourite blogger John Gruber linked to a quote by Paul Jillett, in Jillett's book, God No!: Signs You May Already Be an Atheist:
"There is no god, and that is the truth. If every trace of any single religion died out and nothing were passed on, it would never be created exactly that way again. There might be some other nonsense in its place, but not that exactly nonsense. If all of science were wiped out, it would still be true and someone would find a way to figure it out again. "
I find myself reflecting long and hard on this argument. As a Christian, I have some thought in response to reading this. I hope I don't sound too defensive.
It appears that the argument is built on a sound assumption of truth: that the truth is like a destination with many roads leading to it; no matter what path you take, it leads to the same place. Therefore, if you destroy all the religions and start over again, chances are that the path that we as people would take will lead to some gods who are different. That difference the shows that god doesn't exist, but rather just stories that we fabricated and refined against the backdrop of our cultures and customs. Religions, in other words, fail the truth test.
I think the author has kind of gone out on a limb to suppose this scenario that all religions are to be destroyed when his point would have been more well served by observing the variety of religions that exist in our world today. If god is the truth, shouldn't it be universally singular? And doesn't matter what cultures we come from, i.e., the path that we take, shouldn't we reach the same God? Since we don't, therefore any religious indoctrination cannot exist as part of the truth.
It is a good test for the truth. It is great to use it to test the truism in scientific principles and theorems. But this reasoning tool falls short when we apply this to a bigger truth, such as one involving God: to suggest that we as human will arrive at exact science points if we were to start everything over again is to suggest that our views of the laws of physics are final and no new discovery can significantly alter the course of our scientific understanding; in other words, that we have arrived at the destination, where all roads brown un-covered by reasoning and logics will lead to. That is simply not true. Even scientists themselves will tell you that is not true. Hypothetically speaking, if we are to start over again with science, will we again get tripped up in thinking that particle is like a billiard ball, as suggested by Bohr, or will we wrongfully neglect the wave properties in our description of nucleus? To me, even some scientific principles falls author's own truth test. In the spirit of science, truth is the truth until it is disproven. With science, we have yet arrived at a destination, but rather, we have only stopped at a gas station. So if I were to take this trip again, there may very well be a good chance I will not end up at the same place. Does it mean sciences are not the truth? No.
We are part of a story that continues to evolve and our views of the world is transient in nature. I think it is fair to accept that not all data has been observed to create a principle of everything. And without the "complete" data, there are always a chance scientific principles can be struck down by even the scientific means.
At the end of the day, the truth of God is accepted by the followers by faith, not by reason and logic. The difference between those with faith in God and the ones who don't believe in God is that the former is willing to reconcile the truth that we understand by reasons with the truth given by God through faith while the latter simply just accept the unproven as being unknown. Either way is fine with me. I think when we talk about science and God, we have the tendency to treat them as two different brand of truth. But I think that is the wrong way of looking at it; rather, God is the truth (to Christian) and science is the pursuit of truth (to all).

|Getting the Video out of Your New iPod--for Cheap!

|I have a 80G Ipod classic. I hooked my IPod to my VCR and watched a movie just fine. The next time I tried to watch a movie, I couldn't get the movie to play from my IPod and now my VCR only has a blue screen. I have unplugged my VCR, tried the TV/VCR button, reset the VCR, etc. Nothing seems to work. I can see watch DVDs but cannot pick up TV stations through my VCR. Any suggestions?

VCR does work after connecting IPod

FYI, the iPod Classics will not work with this technique.
This method is only good for iPods with Video up to 5.5 Generation.
In other words, if you have video capabilities and Coverflow on your iPod (or nano) this trick won't work.
Apple changed the game so you can no longer access video through the headphone jack, you have to output it through the dock connector, and you have to pay Apple $50 for a cable that will work.
I love Apple, but I think this was very, very lame on their part.

Counter clock wise circle is not hard to understand. If your raid can't figure that out, then you guys will be ultimately screwed when uldaar comes around. good luck
We have our tank stand in one spot in front of thaddius. Everyone makes the tank the focus target. Whatever the tank's charge is, the others move to the other side in a counter clock wise rotation. To add to the that, we have everyone with tank's same charge stand to the right of him, and everyone with the opposite charge on the other side, stand on the right side as well. This has worked flawlessly due to the fact that everyone moves around thaddius's hitbox in a circle and no one can cross the charges (unless they just stand in the same spot and doesn't move.
This strat is pretty much the best there is when it comes to the achievement. Running straight through and passing people leaves WAY to much room for error for people with lag.

Fiscal cliff negotiators are considering a raise in the age for Medicare eligibility, which some voters support. But the move could have some unexpected consequences.
WASHINGTON — Americans are living longer, and Republicans want to raise the Medicare eligibility age as part of any deal to reduce the government's huge deficits.
But what sounds like a prudent sacrifice for an aging society that must watch its budget could have some surprising consequences, including higher premiums for people on Medicare.
Unlike tax hikes, which spawn hard partisan divisions, increasing the Medicare age could help ease a budget compromise because President Barack Obama has previously been willing to consider it. A worried AARP, the seniors' lobby, is already running ads knocking down the idea as a quick fix that would cause long-term problems. House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., doesn't like it either.
But for Republicans seeking more than just tweaks to benefit programs, raising the current eligibility age of 65 has become a top priority, a symbol of their drive to rein in government. If Obama and the GOP can't agree soon on a budget outline, it may trigger tax increases and spending cuts that would threaten a fragile economic recovery.
RELATED: Raising Medicare age could save US over $100 billion
RELATED GRAPHIC: What the fiscal cliff means to you
Increasing the eligibility age to 67 would reduce Medicare spending by about 5 percent annually, compounding into hundreds of billions of dollars over time. But things aren't that simple.
"This is a policy change that seems straightforward, but has surprising ripple effects," said Tricia Neuman, a leading Medicare expert with the nonpartisan Kaiser Family Foundation. "It's a simple thing to describe, and the justification is that people are living longer, but I don't think people have thought through the indirect effects."
Among the cost shifts identified in a Kaiser study:
—Higher monthly premiums for seniors on Medicare. Their costs would go up because keeping younger, healthier 65- and 66-year-olds out of Medicare's insurance pool would raise costs for the rest. The increase would be about 3 percent when the higher eligibility age is fully phased in.
—Higher premiums for private coverage under Obama's health overhaul. That's because older adults would stick with private insurance for two extra years before moving into Medicare. Compared with younger adults, they are more expensive to insure.
—An increase in employer costs because older workers would try to stay on company insurance plans.
—Higher out-of-pocket health care costs for two out of three older adults whose entry into Medicare would be delayed.
The Congressional Budget Office has also projected an increase in the number of uninsured. That possibility becomes more real with populous states like Texas saying they won't accept the Medicaid expansion in Obama's health overhaul, which would provide coverage to low-income adults. Then there's the impact on people with physically demanding jobs, for whom extending their working years may be difficult.
Still, the idea isn't going away.
Polls show that many Americans are willing to consider raising the age at which people become eligible for Medicare benefits as part of a plan to reduce deficits, even if on the whole it's still unpopular.
RELATED Calculator: Are you saving enough for retirement?
A new Associated Press-GfK poll found that four in 10 back gradually raising the eligibility age, while 48 percent oppose that plan.
Those under age 30 were most supportive, while a clear majority of those between the ages of 30 and 64 were opposed. Seniors were split. Surprisingly, there were no significant differences by political party. Overall, foes of the idea were more adamant, with strong opponents outnumbering strong supporters by 2-1.
U.S. life expectancy has risen by about eight years since Medicare was created in 1965. During the 1980s, Republican President Ronald Reagan and Democratic congressional leaders agreed to gradually increase the age for receiving full Social Security benefits from 65 to 67. But they didn't touch Medicare eligibility.
Since then, some policy experts have advocated aligning the Medicare and Social Security eligibility ages through a gradual phase-in that would spare those close to retirement.
The idea gained new life when Republicans won the House in 2010, and Budget Chairman Paul Ryan, R-Wis., embraced it. Obama indicated he was open to it during budget talks with Republicans in 2011. But the president quickly retreated, and now says he's not willing to consider cutting Medicare unless Congress agrees to raise taxes on the wealthy.
The No. 2 Democrat in the House, Maryland Rep. Steny Hoyer, says raising the eligibility age and other cuts "clearly are on the table," although he doesn't see much chance for them if Republicans don't yield on taxes.
For his part, House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, has relented from pursuing other major changes to Medicare, such as privatization. But when it comes to the eligibility age, he is still pushing.
"It's a structural change but it doesn't require you to adopt a whole new model," said Scott Gottlieb, a health policy expert with the business-oriented American Enterprise Institute. "It can be enacted quickly so you get the savings, and it can be phased in so you don't affect people about to retire."
RELATED: How to spot Medicare scams
AARP and other groups representing older adults are mobilizing against it.
"We are prepared to oppose this one pretty strongly," said AARP legislative policy director David Certner. "It's a pretty big deal."
Raising the eligibility age is not the only Medicare cut in play. Hospitals and other service providers could see reductions in payments, drug companies may owe new rebates to the government and upper-income seniors would face higher monthly premiums. The total package could reach around $400 billion over 10 years.

The popularity of Fifty Shades of Grey has meant that a lot of women are finally getting into the BDSM lifestyle, or at least introducing a bit of into the bedroom. Author and professional dominatrix Kimi Inch, aka Ms. Nina Payne, has a new eBook, Kisses to Kink: A Dominatrix's Guide to Great Sex, which explains how to bring a little spank and flog into your home dungeon. Here, Kimi gives us the lowdown on how to spice up your bedroom routine, 50 Shades-style.
What is the difference between S&M, BDSM, and "kink," which is what you call your brand of bedroom fun?
Nina: S&M specifically stands for sadomasochism which is super specific and only includes activities that may cause pain: spanking, flogging, and any impact play. Kink or BDSM encompasses any sexual activity that is considered unconventional. This includes everything from dirty talk, to spanking, to bondage, and even role playing.
What can women who are not familiar with S&M or kink first do to ease into it?
Nina: It's very important to educate yourself first and to do some research before slapping on the handcuffs. There are many activities that require special attention and couples need to learn the importance of safety and communication before moving forward. Just remember, there are many levels of kink, so start light and don't feel like you have to break out any whips or chains! The best way to ease into it is to forget about using any toys and just start with the sexiest toy you already have: your brain. Next time you are getting intimate with your partner, try whispering some kinky fantasies into his ears. For example, talk about how excited you would be if you could take turns tying each other up. If you want to make the dirty talk more intense, try pinning each other's hands down while you talk. Or if spanking has sparked your interest, whisper this into your partner's ears and see if he will give you a playful, light spank in response.
Why do you think this kind of play is important in a marriage/committed relationship?
Nina: Routine can be the death to any great sex life. Kink offers an exciting opportunity for couples to break out of their sexual routines by opening them up to new fantasies and desires that can help deepen their intimacy together and open them up to greater sexual expression. One thing is for sure, kinky people are least of all boring!
What would be the 3-5 tools or toys you would recommend all women have in the bedroom?
Nina: 1. High-quality silk scarves. A perfect and versatile tool that can be used for: blindfolds, restraints, gags, and even used to stimulate the senses in sensation play.
2. Vibrators. Not just for the ladies any more. A vibrator can be used to stimulate both the man and woman sexually, or can be used to tease each others sensitive parts.
3. Candles. Sounds simple, but creating the mood is so important. You want to create a space where sensuality can exist, so don't forget the candles. For the more daring, buy candles that melt into body oil and give your partner a surprise erotic massage after you drip the hot oil on his naked body.
4. Lube. Always better to have it and not need it, than to need it and not have it.
5. Sense of Humor. Don't take sex so seriously, kink is all about playing and having fun and that should be your #1 objective.
What do you think of Fifty Shades of Grey?
Nina: I appreciate that Fifty Shades has opened many women and couples up to exploring their kinkier sides. However, I am concerned that this book, along with many other depictions of kink in the media, portray the participants as limited to emotionally scarred and unstable people. In my experience, people involved in kink are very comfortable with themselves, great communicators, playful, and above all, always respectful.
Do you practice kink? Will you?
Image via Amazon
Yes i do.. dont we all have a wild side.. ? i think many women just havent awakened their wild side!
Please, please, PLEASE stop linking this book to anything scene-related. It's very unrealistic and is disrespectful to the actual community.
I liked all that stuff before it was cool
Well Sara, maybe they don't wanna be to THE community! And just have fun with something like BDSM as not profs see it. Let them be, people not in the scene don't care about that scene and people in it know better so don't see the problem ?!?

India Insight
Cricket – India vs Australia
Highlights from India's test cricket and one-day international matches against Australia
(Click the 'Make a Comment' link below to post your LIVE Blog comment)
Everybody saying india played very well against Australia. Verat Kohli is better to replace the big guns sachin,ganguley sahwag gambir rahul etc.
Is it that much great?
Australia is playing without Ponding,Hussy(He will not play 3D ONE-DAY).Dregley Bollinger,Shane Watson,Michal Johnson, BW Hilfenhaus, SM Katich ,Brett Lee , BJ Haddin etc.
Certainly Ponding has a great captaincy record. In the last year(2009) Australia missed lot of players but Ponding captaincy made them to victorious(4-2 win) .(Pondings colleagues shane wane,Gilcrist etc have great captaincy ability but they never become captain).
Looking the current players you can see that you can't compare old win against Australia with this win.
It is not Australian team it is just a South Australia or Victoria or Australian under 19, Australian (A or b) team or Australian prime minister XI.
Main problem that is faced by this tournament is First match is washed off ,India also playing with second quality players or (IPL Indian XI), also the popularity of 50 over match is decreased due to t20 and bcci`s policy .
Policy is mainly sreekanth`s selection policy that is he mainly select tamil nadu players,channai super king players and sresanth . His selection of team mainly based on IPL. Only good selection is selection of Poojara. After the South African Onday (after sachin`s 200) india not played full strength one day team. Because Ipl and champions trophy one day match playing in india is decresed .India is playing too much of one-day against sreelanka .Asia cup arranged during football world cup time so nobody interested also just after that in the same place and against almost same country a 3 nation tournament is this the way to schedule match. If selectors want to experiment then why don't they experiment during test match against Bangladesh? .Selection of test team against South Africa is the one of the badest selection, because of the un availability of batsman India have played with 2 wicket keeper and lost the test match. If the player is injured don't select them or make back up arrangement. in the south African test series and Australian test seers the laxman was the villain. In the mohali more than the Laxman the umpire (Billy Bawden) is the hero of the match. Main reason for 1st innings collapse in mohali is due to unavailability of laxmanan in correct batting line up. If he scored half of the run that is scored in second innings to 1st innings india have been taken the lead and India can easily win that test without that tremendous, herculean effort for a win (Narrow win).
Because of IPL India is not gone to West Indies for full tournament. If they played in West Indies then there lot of fanatical problem can be solved, new players can be come, and playing against India can unite the West Indies team. Also same thing with Pakistan.
Unavailability of Sachin Tendulker for one day tournament for last 8 months is main problem that decrease the viewer ship of one day cricket. Even though he playing lot of T20 with Mumbai Indians. Is the national duty is 2nt even to sachin tendulker ?.Why rest for sachin in every announcement of one day tournament? Why he is not rested even partially in IPL and Champions trophy?.

Ring species
From CreationWiki, the encyclopedia of creation science
A ring species is a species that spit off in to two or more groups and while each group can interbreed with nearby groups, they cannot interbreed with more distant groups. And when two distant lines come together, it forms a ring where the creatures at either end cannot breed.
There are several examples of ring species throughout the world.
Greenish Warbler
A common example of this is called the greenish warbler (found in Asia). In this case they got separated by the Tibetan Plateau and as you go around it, there are different varieties that are found in different areas. And while they all interbreed with neighboring groups, where the two lines meet they are different enough that they can't interbreed.
Alleged Problem for Definition of Kind
Evolutionists have made a big deal about how can they be the same kind since they can't interbreed. But this comes from a misunderstanding of the definition of the word "Kind."
A kind is a group of animals that share a common ancestry. And while the presence of interbreeding indicates that two or more organisms are of the same kind, the absence of interbreeding does not mean that the organisms are of different kinds.
Evolutionists will often assume that all organisms share a common ancestor, therefore concluding that all organisms are really the same kind by the definition given above. This assumption however, is without evidence. It's also an instance of "your theory doesn't work under my theory, so your theory must be wrong."
Problems for Definition of Species
A species is commonly defined as a group of organisms that can interbreed. Ring species presents a problem for this definition because while neighboring populations can interbreed with each other, the populations at each of the ends of the ring cannot, therefore making it impossible to classify the two populations as different species even though they cannot interbreed.
Flood Model Relevance
Ring Species are exactly what one would expect from the post Flood diversification. And they're an excellent example of how the relatively few annuals on Noah's ark could have produced all of the observed diversity of today's land animals.

At the 6th edition of the My Special Car fair in Rimini (Italy), MV Agusta and Citroën Italia will present the new C2 1587 Brutale, a show car destined to attract the attention of the qualified public at one of the most important Tuning Trade Fairs, where nothing is standard.
What made this synergy possible is the attention to detail that both brands reserve for their products, a guarantee of quality and reliability.
The car gets its name from the best selling naked bike produced by MV Agusta and inherits the sporty Pearl White/Black colour scheme.
The colour scheme of the concept car has been carefully studied directly by the MV Agusta Style Centre and replicates that of the Brutale 1078RR, possibly the highest performing naked on the market.
The interior underlines the sporty character of the show car; perforated alcantara seats, black leather detail trim with red stitching, Brutale logo on the seats and steering wheel in black alcantara with red stitching. The dashboard and foot plate are carbon fibre effect and complete the aggressive racing-style interior of the C2 1587 BRUTALE.
The C2 1587 BRUTALE is based on the top of the range C2, the VTS, featuring a 1.6 16 valve engine with 125 hp. The racing character is underlined by the Supersprint twin exhaust that gives this sporty car a racing sound that blends-in with its aggressive character.

Afflictor is a site worth book-marking. Here's a recent post on a 1958 BBC conversation between Ian Fleming and and Raymond Chandler.
Afflictor is a site worth book-marking. Here's a recent post on a 1958 BBC conversation between Ian Fleming and and Raymond Chandler.
From Will Harris' Q&A with Elliot Gould over at the A.V. Club:
The Long Goodbye (1973)—"Philip Marlowe"
EG: As I was growing up, I would go to see film-noir films, the detective stories, and I thought Humphrey Bogart was the greatest. David Picker, who was running United Artists at the time, gave me Leigh Brackett's script adapting Raymond Chandler's The Long Goodbye and asked me to read it, so I read it. I was looking for a job at the time and… let's say that finding a job wasn't easy at that time, though I don't know if it's ever easy. There was another director who was going to be doing it, but he couldn't see me in it. Then David Picker gave the material to Robert Altman, and Altman called me from Ireland, where he was finishing Images with Susannah York. Bob said to me, "What do you think?" I said, "I've always wanted to play that guy," meaning Philip Marlowe. And Robert Altman said to me, "You are that guy." So that was the beginning of that.
AVC: There's been talk for some time of you teaming with Alan Rudolph to produce a sequel to The Long Goodbye.
EG: Yeah, I started to work on a sequel. I think I've basically read or narrated the books on tape of all of Raymond Chandler's work, and I discovered "The Curtain," which was written before there was a Philip Marlowe. The Chandler estate worked with me when I was more involved in it, although I'll never give up on it. For as long as I can, I'll try to work on getting a sequel to The Long Goodbye. I had a treatment developed and gave it to Bob Altman, and we started to talk about it, but then Bob passed away. But Alan Rudolph was the second assistant on The Long Goodbye, and Alan wrote quite an excellent first draft. But I haven't been able to finance it.
The estate had given me permission at the time—this was just a few years ago—to change the name of the character, because the private eye was called Ted Carmady. It was written by Chandler before he wrote The Big Sleep, but you could see where The Big Sleep came from. In the story, there's a 10-year-old son of the character that Bacall played in The Big Sleep, and the son is the killer. That's what attracted me to it. It would take place now, and the character of Philip Marlowe is now a much older man, like me, but he still has the same values. It's something that could conceivably work if it's free to express itself the way I feel it and see it, but whether it'll ever happen remains to be seen. But I'm just eternally grateful for Robert Altman and David Picker giving me the opportunity to participate in The Long Goodbye and play Philip Marlowe.
Dig this article on Raymond Chandler by Jonah Raskin over at Boom:
Raymond Chandler relished finding names for his quirky characters, including Philip Marlowe, the pipe-smoking, chess-playing private eye—a literary kinsman to Sam Spade, Dashiell Hammett's solitary sleuth—whom I first met in the pages of fiction as a teenager and whom I have known more than fifty years. Sometimes the names are dead giveaways about the morality or immorality of the character, sometimes they're opaque, but I've always found them intriguing and an open invitation to try to solve the mystery myself. In his first novel, The Big Sleep (1939) Chandler calls the bellicose gangster Eddie Mars, the smut peddler Arthur Gwynn Geiger, and the top cop Captain Cronjager. In The High Window (1942), Lois Magic is the femme fatale, Linda Conquest is a torch singer, and Leslie Murdoch is the effete son of a nasty heiress who has murdered her own husband and brainwashed Merle Davis (a wholesome girl from the Midwest and a victim of sexual assault) into thinking she's guilty of the crime. Nice people, Marlowe observes wryly.
Born in Chicago in 1888, near the end of the Victorian era, raised in England among elite Edwardians, and transplanted to Los Angeles in 1913, Chandler saw California through the eyes of an English eccentric. A veteran of World War I who was wounded in action in France, and a child of Prohibition and Depression America, he recognized that crime was an industry in both boom and bust times, and a rich field for a writer. Then, too, as a displaced person and an alien in the Southern California world of cars and freeways, among phony and lonely people, he tapped into a vast reservoir of mass discontent. In his seven novels, all of them set in and around Los Angeles, he depicted the world as a vile place inhabited by loathsome people. A cynic, he envisioned no way to escape nastiness—certainly not by going to the movies, which, in his view, offered much the same trite boy-meets-girl story over and over again and trivialized psychological issues and social problems.
"Twenty-four hours a day somebody is running, somebody else is trying to catch him," Chandler wrote of LA. He added that it was "a city no worse than others, a city rich and vigorous and full of pride, a city lost and beaten and full of emptiness." Chandler loved and hated LA in much the same way that Balzac loved and hated mid-nineteenth-century Paris and F. Scott Fitzgerald loved and hated Jazz Age Manhattan.

Dig this 1945 Atlantic article on Hollywood by Raymond Chandler:
Hollywood is easy to hate, easy to sneer at, easy to lampoon. Some of the best lampooning has been done by people who have never been through a studio gate, some of the best sneering by egocentric geniuses who departed huffily – not forgetting to collect their last pay check – leaving behind them nothing but the exquisite aroma of their personalities and a botched job for the tired hacks to clean up.
Even as far away as New York, where Hollywood assumes all really intelligent people live (since they obviously do not live in Hollywood), the disease of exaggeration can be caught. The motion picture critic of one of the less dazzled intellectual weeklies, commenting recently on a certain screenplay, remarked that it showed "how dull a couple of run-of-the-mill $3000-a-week writers can be." I hope this critic will not be startled to learn that 50 per cent of the screenwriters of Hollywood made less than $10,000 last year, and that he could count on his fingers the number that made a steady income anywhere near the figure he so contemptuously mentioned. I don't know whether they could be called run-of-the-mill writers or not. To me the phrase suggests something a little easier to get hold of.
I hold no brief for Hollywood. I have worked there a little over two years, which is far from enough to make me an authority, but more than enough to make me feel pretty thoroughly bored. That should not be so. An industry with such vast resources and such magic techniques should not become dull so soon. An art which is capable of making all but the very best plays look trivial and contrived, all but the very best novels verbose and imitative, should not so quickly become wearisome to those who attempt to practice it with something else in mind than the cash drawer. The making of a picture ought surely to be a rather fascinating adventure. It is not; it is an endless contention of tawdry egos, some of them powerful, almost all of them vociferous, and almost none of them capable of anything much more creative than credit-stealing and self-promotion.
"Any man who can write a page of living prose adds something to our life, and the man who can, as I can, is surely the last to resent someone who can do it even better. An artist cannot deny art, nor would he want to. A lover cannot deny love."
Raymond Chandler

Past/Present/Future > Now
Now, now I am transported back to the past, through less than 3 minutes of a song, Frank Ocean's cover of "Strawberry Swing", to the times when I heard the cover and the original. The friends, the laughs, the struggles, the places, the people, all of it comes rushing back to me in the form of this discomforting pressure inside of my chest, directly at the center of my core. Immediately, without warning, a channel opens up and the now becomes the past.
Inextricably, the present has to exert its dominion over time in order to draw this distinction with the past, with how events and places have changed from then until now. I am no longer in your car, riding next to you as you drive the music, the vehicle and me down the road. The windows might have been down, there might have been a water balloon fight, all of the memories start to overlap - specificity isn't important. What has carried on to today in the vehicle of memories are the emotions, the feelings that come swelling up and cause me to lose control of them. I am not in the steering wheel of the past.
The end of the song I avoid like the plague, the noise of the alarm clock - soon I am pulled back to the present and the ever-looming future. The intruding, violating clarion call of an alarm clock serves as the harbinger to the harsh reality of the blinding morning, the return from rest to restlessness, no longer as a passenger in the past but a traveler in the future, constantly treading onward.
It is of the utmost necessity, I now realize, that I make time for the past in the present. To live through the lives of others is no way to live at all.
The name of the mixtape, "Nostalgia, ultra". You got that right.
"I will miss the good times here".

exactly me now
(Source: prismcess)
I live in a pretty poor country, Romania, where politicans only do stuff to become richer and steal from the people. They have no intention to make our lives better, just to buy another house, another better car, etc… Even when somebody tries to oppose them, the majority of people from here are too ignorant, or comfortable, or old, maybe they lived through communism so they are still affraid… And than everything is the same old shit: no jobs (you can only get a decent job if you know someone, or your wealthy parents pay for a job), no normal minimal wage (if they would have to live on min. wage they would die without their precious stuff, no matter how other people suffer), no good education (teachers don't care about students, why would they care? we are just some stupid hugarians or romanians we don't deserve decent knowledge). And the worst feeling is how powerless and little you are compared to the fucking government, it just kills me.
In the vein of that last post here is a compilation video of soldiers being welcomed home by their dogs. Feeling blue or having a craptastic day? seriously watch this

It's finally here! Tomorrow is our last day of rehearsals until we get to New York! We have been running through "The Golden Section" every day this week and have been adding the finishing touches to make it its best. Everyone is excited and ready…there are even a few members of the cast who have never been to NYC! Renan Cerdeiro is one such member and can barely contain himself. Even though we will only be there a short time, there is so much everyone wants to see and do. But first things first: kick butt as the closing performers in the sold out opening night shows of City Centers' Fall for Dance festival (Sept. 28 & 29)! I will be bringing MCB's flip camera to the Big Apple with us so stay tuned for some highly entertaining footage!

Last week, MCB had the pleasure of taping Twyla Tharp's "The Golden Section", and George Balanchine's Square Dance and Western Symphony for Great Performances: Dance in America to air on PBS in 2011. The entire company was ecstatic to have this opportunity and everyone involved worked tremendously hard on this project.
We talked to soloist Callie Manning about her filming experience. She shares with us the differences between dancing onstage and dancing in a TV studio, what changed about her makeup routine, and what was the most challenging part of the whole process.

Hi All!
It has been a while since my last post, but for good reason. The company has been in the process of filming an upcoming special for PBS (Great Performances: Dance in America)! Everyone has been so busy, spending everyday from 2 p.m. to 7 p.m. at the TV studio dancing our butts off! It has been some of the toughest, hardest days any of us have experienced, but what an incredible opportunity and amazing life adventure it has been. The first two days of filming focused on "The Golden Section." This really has allowed all of us to feel extra-prepared and ready for our upcoming tour to New York City Center (Sept. 28-29). Not only is our stamina and endurance up, but the performance quality is looking top notch…thanks to a bunch of cameras in our faces! I think it has been great practice, and I can't wait to bring this piece back to the stage. Stay tuned as we get closer to our departure!

The exciting company premiere of Twyla Tharp's Baker's Dozen will be performed as part of Program II. We will follow principal dancer Jeanette Delgado on MCB Blog as she prepares for opening night in January.
Post by Principal Dancer Jeanette Delgado
Learning a ballet that is new to our repertory is always a very exciting process! It is a fresh opportunity to expand artistically without any preconceived ideas of how it is "supposed" to look. Elaine Kudo, Twyla Tharp repetiteur, was here in June working with us on Baker's Dozen which will premiere during Program II. My sister Patricia and I both worked with Elaine when we spent summers at the ABT school so it's always really nice to reconnect with her! She was a ballerina with ABT as well as a dancer for Twyla's company, so she knows how to explain Twyla's steps to ballet dancers. We have to almost undo some of our ballet technique in order to grasp the movement because it is very different from what we're used to! It takes us a while and we came out of those rehearsals bruised and sore in strange places!
By now we have become more familiar to this style from all the Tharp ballets we've conquered; however, we're used to dancing her more intense and powerful choreography and the feeling in Baker's Dozen is very different. It's a lot lighter and more playful but still has very grounded and dynamic movements. It's definitely a challenge trying to be explosive and energetic but in a subtle and kind of nonchalant way! When it's done right it is an awesome ballet!! Funny and playful and of course, like all the Tharp ballets, full of ENERGY!

Editors' review
If ad blocking is the hacksaw of Internet-protecting add-ons, Do Not Track Plus (DNT+) is a finely honed katana, slicing out tracking behaviors embedded in sites without destroying the modern Web.
Do Not Track Plus extends your privacy
It's cross-browser and cross-platform, and will work in Firefox, Chrome, IE, and Safari. An Opera version is in the works. DNT+ blocks sites and ads from tracking you, unless you give them explicit permission to do so. For most sites, it actually rebuilds tools like social-networking buttons on the fly so you can still get your social on without sacrificing privacy or site load times. It also blocks ad networks and companies from following you around the Web.
DNT+ installs as a browser toolbar button. The icon reflects the number of tracking blocks against the site you're viewing. Click the button and a drop-down window appears with trackers separated into three categories: social buttons, ad networks, and companies. If there's something marked verboten that you want back, like a Twitter button, clicking it will resurrect it. Otherwise, the links at the bottom of each section take you to sites that explain what the add-on is doing and why it's doing it. This is smart, helpful stuff.
The interface is clean if a bit cluttered with the verbiage necessary to explain what it's actually doing. The add-on's On/Off button could be bigger, too. Its features work well, with no noticeable lag times when loading sites. In fact, the only feature hang-up was that on some sites, the social networking buttons weren't re-rendered. It's easy enough to go into the add-on and reactivate them, but it is an imperfect implementation of a core feature.
If you're aware of the serious privacy risks on the Internet today, but looking for something more nuanced than an ad blocker or JavaScript killer that still lets you experience the modern Web, Do Not Track Plus lives up to its value-added name.
Publisher's Description
DoNotTrackPlus is renowned for its outstanding technology and seamless integration into your web experience. DNT+ blocks 100s of trackers on millions of sites. When you visit a website DNT+ blocks tracking technologies from seeing and collecting your web activity such as what sites you visit, and what you view. The add-on also prevents cookies from being placed on your machine that would continue to store information about your Internet browsing, and blocks ads with tracking capability, including the annoying ads that seem to follow you everywhere you go. DNT+ runs quietly in your browser toolbar, displaying the number of tracking companies trying to monitor your activity on that site. Expand the DNT+ window by clicking the icon to see more details on the specific companies and technologies attempting to track you, as well as an all-time count of blocked tracking attempts. Earn medals and enjoy congratulations as you reach new privacy milestones. To put it simply, your privacy is our business so we never track our users. DNT+ does not receive any data from users other than knowing that someone is using it. Since we don't know anything about you, you don't have to worry about us selling or sharing your data. We are 100% committed to consumer privacy.
What's new in this version:
Version 2.2 adds better blocking, an improved UI that makes it easy to customize settings, medals you earn as a fun reward for blocking tracking attempts and a number of bug fixes.

Inspiration: Doodling on Walls
We were major doodlers in school, with meandering lines drawn on everything from notebooks to shoe soles. Maybe that's why these wall doodles appeal to us...
• 1 DIY doodling in a long hallway, by Kellie
• 2 Jon Burgerman at the Miss Sixty showroom in Amsterdam
• 3 A wall of individual doodles on paper, via The Doodle Off
• 4 Make re-doodling easy with a dry erase wall surface, via Living Etc.

I have a long boring hallway just like this one. I would love to do this but I don't think I can draw a straight line. lol
does anyone know where to get the "fat paint pen" referenced in the original post? i have no idea what that is?
in case anyone wants to know:
Um... you missed the alltime best doodling pic:
There is a 360 degree pan of this man's basement where an entire decor is drawn on the walls! Everything from famous writers to picture frames!
Thanks Chelseabees, that's pretty incredible.
I love the long hallway doodles. I wonder if it would be tough to paint over since I'm a renter. Would primer cover it right up when I'm ready to move?
