Good Morning.
Well, our resident early bird isn't here this weekend so I guess I need to take over!
I'm feelin' twinges of DOMS here and there in my legs from Crossfire.
Not sure what's happening for today. I have this LF lower body w/o I'd like to get done this weekend:: Smoke & Ashes Workout - Lower Body Routine : @LovingFit , along with a good yoga session, upper body at the gym with DH (tmrw) and if I feel like it, cardio at the gym today...It's alot to do in 2 days though so I'm not even considering trying to do it ALL and so so far gym cardio is probably what's going to be left out...
We don't have any big plans this weekend so not sure what we'll do. It's supposed to be HOT though so unless an activity involves water, whatever we decide to do will probably NOT be outdoors!!!

Good Morning
Little sleepy right now. This time difference really sucks. We didn't do anything last night cause Stephen went to sleep at 7....and so he should have cause it was really 10:30 for him. And then he woke up at 4 cause it was really 7:30. But he went back for a nap and now he is awake again but dh is still sleeping. I think when I finish this coffee I will head down to the fitness center and get a run in. I don't know what the plan is for today. It will probably involve shopping.
The baby was really good on the way here. He didn't cry at all on the flight. I don't think the people that were sat next to me we're real thrilled about sitting next to a baby. On my first flight the lady I was sitting next to was already I. H seat, I had the window seat and she wouldn't even get up for me to get in my seat. She made me crawl in over her with the baby and a big diaper bag. Her connection was canceled...served her right...karma! Then on my second leg the guy sitting next to me was so big that he was over flowing into my seat...which made nursing even more challenging then it already was. The baby kicked my table tray and spilled my water on him....Both of them only acknowledged the baby after the flight was over and they realized that he didn't cry. 3rd leg I sat alone....
Wendy** here I am! Just not as early. Dh is still sleeping while I'm nursing but he's going to be woken up pretty soon. It's usually pretty hot here but not this weekend. And I didn't even bring any pants for the baby.
Diana** happy sneaker shopping. I love getting new kicks and it's not hard to tell when I need them either. Something usually starts aching.
Laura** good girl not skipping any workouts!! I will try my best to catch up with dh .
I may check In again tonight or tomorrow. I don't plan on being on the go the whole time I'm here. Its just to much for the baby.
I'm back to report my work out::
TTM warm up and solid step (15m), Smoke & Ashes Workout - Lower Body Routine : @LovingFit (22:30m)and last but not least Kundalini Warrior Workout (75m).
Lori:: Glad you arrived safely and that the baby was good. Sorry about your unfriendly neighbors on the plane. Oh jet lag stinks! Enjoy the rest of your weekend!
Ok, time for a shower and then lunch!
BBL or tmrw!
STS 5.5 Month Rotation Graduate: 1/2/11-7/10/11
Hi Ladies,
We've been on the go since early this morning. We had a fund raising breakfast (Jerod's football team) that we took the whole family too first, then picked up Zach's car from the shop, then to the credit union and finally to the bank....closed our accounts....YAAAYYYYY!!!
I'm so happy to have only 1 kid in high school. Just payed his school & athletic fees...$505.00. I know I paid in the $300 dollar range for the older boys. He's a junior this year so just one more year to go after this. Yes, I'm counting down! Senior year is pretty expensive too with the caps & gowns, announcements. I have another year before I have to worry about that.
The girls are upstairs with grandpa and they are shaving his beard. They tend to pull on it and I think he's tired of it...oh and it might be hurting him too. LOL
I hope to fit in some weight training today and have a bike ride planned for tomorrow.
Lori-How rude, you always get up to let those in the middle or window seat in. Did you have to change planes twice??? You just take everything in stride, that probably would've been stressful for me with an infant. Glad Stephen was such a good baby for you. Enjoy the weekend with DH.
Wendy-nice w/o lady! I don't know how you can stand doing yoga for 75 minutes...20-30 mins is about all I can take.
Laura-any fun weekend plans?
Diana:: Wow, busy morning for you! What weight work out are you leaning towards if you can fit one in today? So the girls are shaving your DH's beard!? Not with a straight edge I hope! That IS a lot of $$ for athletic fees! Having a child is never cheap I suppose! Joey is costing us more every day in food costs! That's for sure! Yeah I hear you on the yoga! IDK how I am doing it either (LOL) except to say that I've grown to really enjoy and appreciate it. If I didn't, I could NEVER last that long!
STS 5.5 Month Rotation Graduate: 1/2/11-7/10/11
Hey girlies..
Me n sil just did ttm...it was sweatfest..ystdy rest day was much needed..after day from hell at work...
About to get out by the pool before afternoon showers hit...db..dn..n sil supposed to be tiding over..mayb rain eill hold off for r while...
Di..lol about the girls shaving your dh..lol
Lori..glad u arrived safely n plan on having fun catching up with dh...sorry about the crappy attitudes on the plane...ugh
Wendy..great workout..the step part is fun on ttm...and i dont really care for step anymore...i like the set up on the new workouts..
Ok.bbtr run..everyone have a great weekend!
Good Morning
Had a good day yesterday. We did some shopping, nothing for myself of course..picked up most of DS's school cloths and a couple of outfits for DD. I would like to get DS some sneakers and a coat and then he will be done. I have to go back to the mall though b/c they didn't remove one of the tags on the shirt I bought for DD...and I didn't beep when I went through the doors either We went out for dinner last night and then back to the hotel and put the baby to sleep. Had a pretty relaxing evening.
I did 30 mins on the TM and 15 on the elliptical yesterday morning. I will probably do something similar today. The baby is up and fed and DH is still sleeping...it's not even 7 a.m here yet.
Wendy** maybe I should check out some of these workouts. This hotel room doesn't have a DVD player to use. I brought insanity asylum and cardio core fusion. DH was suppose to bring his laptop but I don't think he did.
Diana** sounds like your having a fun weekend. Yeah I wasn't impressed with the lady on the plane either. I think she said something about the guy in front of me putting his seat up right so I could squeeze through. I don't know why I'm not more vocal. I'm not looking forward to my return flight b/c it's an even bigger plane with 3 row seating. I thought about taking the aisle seat but when I need to nurse I can just turn my back and face the window. I keep hoping DS will sleep for a full flight but he only slept for about half of the others.
Laura** do you always workout with your sil? That must be fun and it would def keep most people committed to their workout. Some people have to have someone to keep them accountable but I doubt your like that. One of the ladies I trained would never workout unless she was coming to my house or walking with a friend. She just didn't have the motivation.
Gonna head to the gym again when DH wakes up. Enjoy your day everyone!
Hi Ladies,
I need prayers for my sister. My nephew called yesterday afternoon to let me know my sister was in the hospital with Meningitis. When I got there she was in a lot of pain, severe headache which the Dr. said was most likely caused by the spinal tap. She's been having neck pain for about 2 weeks which is one of the signs of meningitis and also had what she thought was the flu. On top of all this, she only has one kidney that functions at about 70%-80% and all these pain meds really stress the kidneys.
I never got my new kicks or a w/o in yesterday. Today I have work to do since I'm a bit behind on my tasks. I may go for a short bike ride this morning just to clear my head. I'll be heading back to the hospital this afternoon. Her son, SIL, and MIL are there this morning. Her DH spent the night with her and he had to take their DD to work (about 150 mile round trip) this morning.
Lori-sounds like you are having a good time! I hate when they don't take all the tags off, it's not like we can get those plastic things off at home. When do you head back home, tomorrow???
Well the girls are up now and I just got them breakfast...not sure my w/o will happen now with everything I need to get done. However, I know I would feel much better if I worked out.
Hi Wendy & Laura
Good Afternoon.
Today's work out was High Reps Upper Body 39 min premix but I skipped the abs and the stretch and added the cardio only and stretch from High Step Challenge instead. Good work out.
The original plan was ub at the gym with DH but we over slept so that got all screwed up coz we had to go to a later Mass.
Diana:: ((HUGS))!!!!!!!!! So very sorry to hear about your sister. Thoughts and prayers going out for a quick recovery for her!!!
Lori:: Glad you are having a nice time visiting DH. I'll bet you n DH had a relaxing evening! So you say you SHOULD check out some of those work outs and I agree but I know you won't!
Laura:: Hope you are having a fun and relaxing weekend at home!
STS 5.5 Month Rotation Graduate: 1/2/11-7/10/11
Hi Girls
DH went for a resistant workout so I'm hanging in the hotel room with a baby that should be napping. He goes to sleep for 2 mins and wakes up again. He was up before 6 and has only slept for about 20 mins since then. I was hoping we would both have a nap while DH is out, I'm not counting on it.
I went for a run outside earlier which I don't like to do in a unfamiliar place but it beats that TM. I ran to the 3 k mark and then I started going down st's then turning around .5 k down the st...by the time I returned I ended up running 10.5 k.
Diana** my goodness...that's not good news! I guess you do need to clear your head. My heart would be broken if that were my sister. Praying that she will have a speedy recovery...stay positive!
Wendy** yeah you know me to well. You know I'm all talk and no action . You guys have such dirty,dirty minds . I have to fit 6 months of sex into 4 days......
I may bbl we will see how the day goes. I'd like to have a little snooze...even if it were only 5 mins and then we'd take a walk to the coffee shop while we wait. I don't feel like having a coffee unless I just wake up!

Billy's Vegan Egg Rolls
Photo: Annabelle Breakey; Styling: Karen Shinto
Billy Ngo, now chef at Kru, a Japanese restaurant in Sacramento, shared this dish inspired by his previous restaurant, Red Lotus. He deep-fries these, but at home it's easier to brush them with oil and bake them until they're crisp. If you're short on time, you could buy plum sauce instead of making the vinegar-pink peppercorn sauce.

HIGH LINE BILLBOARD: David Shrigley, How Are You Feeling? [1]
David Shrigley, How are you feeling?
On View Thursday, April 5 to Monday, May 7, 2012
Billboard next to the High Line at West 18th Street
High Line Art, presented by Friends of the High Line, is pleased to announce that David Shrigley will present a new commission for the 25-by-75 foot billboard next to the High Line at West 18th Street and 10th Avenue. This is the third work to be presented as part of HIGH LINE BILLBOARD, a series of art installations made possible thanks to the generous support of Edison Properties, the owner of the property on which the billboard stands. This billboard follows Anne Collier's Developing Tray #2 [3] and John Baldessari's The First $100,000 I Ever Made, [4] which inaugurated the series in December, 2011. Shrigley's new work will be on view from Thursday, April 5 through Monday, May 7, 2012.
David Shrigley is known for his distinct breed of humorous drawings that are often crude, wry observations of daily life. His work takes a variety of forms besides drawings, including sculptures, animations, and books. By combining a stylistically simple, almost childish technique with dark contents and a unique deadpan approach, Shrigley provides a whimsical commentary on life and death. For HIGH LINE BILLBOARD Shrigley will present an iconic work which will stand as a reminder of our fears, insecurities, and paranoia, which are so familiar to our contemporary society.
"David Shrigley is one of the most important artists of this generation", said Cecilia Alemani, the Donald R. Mullen, Jr. Curator and Director of High Line Art at Friends of the High Line. "His drawings have become so iconic and representative of our society. I look forward to seeing David's work transformed into a gigantic billboard for New York City. It will be a daily reminder that we can overcome our worries with humor."
About the Artist
David Shrigley lives and works in Glasgow, Scotland, and recently had his first major UK retrospective at the Hayward Gallery, London. He has exhibited internationally including solo exhibitions at the Turku Art Museum, FI; Kelvingrove Museum, Glasgow, UK; M Museum, Leuven, BE; Kunstmuseum, Luzern, CH; BALTIC Centre for Contemporary Art, Gateshead, UK; UCLA Hammer Museum, Los Angeles; and the CCS Museum at Bard College, Annendale-on-Hudson, NY, among others. Shrigley has participated in group exhibitions at international venues such as Museum of Modern Art, New York; The Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago; Serpentine Gallery, London; Tate Modern, London and many others.
High Line Art is presented by Friends of the High Line and the New York City Department of Parks & Recreation. High Line Art is supported by Vital Projects Fund, Inc., and, in part, with public funds from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs in partnership with the City Council and from the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of Governor Andrew Cuomo and the New York State Legislature. In-kind sponsorship for HIGH LINE BILLBOARD is provided by Edison Properties.

Media Release
Senator the Hon Robert Hill
Leader of the Government in the Senate
Minister for the Environment and Heritage
11 June 2000
Federal Environment and Heritage Minister Robert Hill today announced the proclamation of a Commonwealth Marine reserve to protect one of Australia's best-known havens for sea snakes.
The Cartier Island Marine Protected Area is located in the Indian Ocean off Western Australia's Kimberley coast and was formerly a Defence Practice Area. The Minister for Defence has agreed to support this new initiative by releasing the area so that it can be managed to ensure the long-term protection of its unique conservation values.
Covering 167 square kilometres, 190 nautical miles off the coastline, the new reserve will protect a unique reef system in the West Sahul region notable for its rich biodiversity. It will add to the conservation efforts already in place within the region at Ashmore Reef National Nature reserve.
The new reserve provides habitat for a number of species including seabirds, dugong, several species of marine turtles and a high diversity and density of sea snakes.
Senator Hill said the management of Cartier Island Marine reserve will allow natural processes to restore the ecological balance and biological diversity of the reef and will provide a refuge area for a range of marine species. It should also facilitate the natural transportation of biological material in the ocean currents from the rich reefs of Asia to the reef systems located along the West Australian coast.
"The declaration has followed broad consultation with stakeholders representing government, industry and conservation interests," Senator Hill said.
"The Government will soon begin working with stakeholders to develop a management plan to determine the management arrangements and strategies for the reserve. The plan will be developed in full consultation with Australian and Indonesian stakeholders.
The declaration of the Cartier Island reserve coincides with the announcement of the new Lord Howe Island Marine Park.
"The Howard Government is recognised as a world-leader in ocean protection and marine park management. These declarations reflect our commitment to developing a nationally representative system of marine protected areas in Commonwealth waters. It follows the declaration of the world's largest marine protected zone in the Macquarie Island Marine Park last year," Senator Hill said.

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
For the last few months I've been leveling a bunch of alts and trying to buy as few materials on the ah as possible just to see the disparity between the materials needed to level a crafting profession and the gathering needed to level a gathering profession. LW seems to be the worst (I have 2 skinners over 450 feeding a single LW and still in need of about 250 borean leather), but tailoring is frustrating. I've sent 7 toons through northrend and haven't quite gotten through frostweave. I haven't been going out of my way to farm cloth like I have with some of the gathering professions, though. Meanwhile, my scribe has leveled almost entirely on whatever has been left over from leveling an alchemist of each spec.
For what it's worth, I think Enchanting should be the first profession you pick up. It generally makes leveling future professions cost-neutral if not a bit profitable and can be leveled by pretty much exclusively feeding it craftables from another profession and the greens that drop as you level. That's why it goes so great with tailoring: you can have both without worrying about a gathering skill.

Usually appears in games with regular swimmable water as well. Sometimes it is possible to clear up the grimy water to make it swimmable. Rarely, just the surface causes injury.note Often involved in Rise to the Challenge levels, as well as Bubblegloop Swamp ones. The classic term, back before Marathon and Duke Nukem 3D introduced swimming, was "hurt floor," since these areas were effectively just floors that dealt damage. Not to be confused with Hazardous Water or Mucking In The Mud. See also Lava is Boiling Kool-Aid. Complete opposite of Healing Spring.

Report people AFK when they're AFK, and at no other time. I've been booted out of two AVs while at the keyboard and actively playing recently because I respawned in the Horde cave, was promptly marked AFK, and couldn't reach an enemy in time to avoid being kicked out and marked Deserter.
This kind of crap is what causes people to AFK and play lazy. If other players on their team are being douches, what motive do they have to help said douches?
If someone is maliciously reporting people who are not AFK, by the way, you can ticket Blizzard and complain. According to a GM, it is not considered appropriate behavior to spam AFK reports on active players. However, I have no idea whether they'll take any action on it.

You suckers need to make Christine Marie Cabanos' page look tentacular!Started out as a obscure production assistant of many popular Bang Zoom! Entertainment titles like Haruhi Suzumiya, Christine Marie Cabanos is one of the newer talents becoming well-known within the anime fandom thanks to her breakout role as Azu-nyan in K-On!. Since then, Cabanos has been cast into lead characters who happen to be cute young girls such as Squid Girl, Filia, and Madoka. That is to say, however, that she does an amazing vocal range for a newcomer as this video shows. She's also an Idol Singer as well and posts many of her Image Songs in her YouTube channel.Most of her training and experience is mainly thanks to the workshops by Tony Oliver (which he has the knack of casting her when he's the ADR Producer). She's often cast alongside Cristina Valenzuela.Her Texan counterpart (if you consider typecasting), Jad Saxton, Tia Ballard (for Dallas), Margaret Mc Donald and Hilary Haag (for Houston). In the Japanese side, her counterparts in terms of roles are Kana Hanazawa and Yui Horie. In terms of vocal range and typecasting, her Japanese counterpart is Rina Hidaka.Has a Facebook, YouTube, and Twitter account.

Caryota ochlandra
Caryota ochlandra Chinese Fishtail Palm Natural Habitat: This palm is naturally found throughout the open forest of Canton, China. Description: A medium sized, solitary fishtail palm that can reach heights over 20 feet tall. The crownshaft is very long and can sometimes take up 75% of the trees total length. The long crownshaft gives this tree a very unique, full appearance. The branches run up the tree bottom to top, sometimes hiding the trunk all together. The leaves are thick and dark green with the standard fishtail shaped leaf. This palms medium size makes it a great landscape plant, since it will not grow enormous, making it quite a task to be removed at the end of its life. Environment: This palm enjoys a sunny, moist and well-drained soil. It is very cold hardy and can take temperatures into the mid 20's and mild freezes as an adult tree. Zones 8-11. As a seedling, make sure to keep the young tree located in a shady moist area.

Images: Fly to the moon with Google Earth
Summary: On the 40th anniversary of the first moon walk, Google launched Moon in Google Earth, providing 3D images and information to would-be space tourists
1 of 8Image
On the 40th anniversary of the first moon walk, Google launched Moon in Google Earth, an addition to its Google Earth mapping software that lets people virtually travel to the moon.
Besides enabling users to see the surface of the moon in close detail, the application allows people to gather lots of information about the history of travel to the moon. Here is a picture of the Apollo 11 spacecraft as seen by astronauts. Behind the photo, you can see the 3D model on Google Earth of the Apollo 11 spacecraft. People can choose to drill down to different views from a map of the general area.
Moon in Google Earth incorporates the data on the surface of the moon from Nasa. The mapping data was used for training astronauts and by mission control during missions.

Ford's mighty F-150 SVT Raptor recently got a host of changes to make it more driver-friendly and off-road capable, but the lack of engine modifications seem to have inspired Geiger Cars to make a few changes of their own. Their package basically pays homage to Hennessey's VelociRaptor 600 - even though probably not on purpose - with similar improvements done at an expert level.
But let's get back to the F-150. In its standard form, the Ford truck's 6.2-liter V8 delivers a total of 411 HP, but after the German tuner's handywork, it now delivers an impressive 600 HP. This was done with a built-in compressor that also amounts to a fuel savings at a constant speed of 100 mph.
The package includes a few other additional features, including a six-speed automatic transmission, differential lock, 17-inch alloy wheels with massive 35-inch off-road tires BRGoodrich, a Sony sound system, dual-zone air conditioning, and numerous leather items. These changes can be applied for both the Super Cab and Super Crew Cab versions.
The problem with all of these updates is that they come with an astronomical price of € 74,900, or about $90,500 at the current exchange rates.

My thin housemate believes if fatties REALLY wanted to lose weight and they were motivated enough they REALLY could lose it, by dieting forever (when she says this she only applies it to fat people who genuinely want to lose weight). I've tried telling her that diets don't work but all she retorts is "you HAVE to stick with it, if you can think it you CAN do it!". Idk what else to say to help her understand because she doesn't get it. I could use the help please, thanks so much for this blog!
Asked by
What, she thinks fat people haven't thought of this before? That we're not being sold a permanent eating- and exercise-disordered 1/4 job where starvation, obsession, and self-loathing are the daily features?
We know this shit. The problem with these studies is they show that for the vast majority of people, permanent diets are physically, psychologically, and emotionally impossible. That after a while your choice is between an exhausting ascetic lifestyle and actually feeding your body or doing other things with your time than dedicating 2+ hours a day to heavy cardio. When you see your naturally thinner friends and family be able to actually enjoy their fucking lives instead of worshipping at the Diet Altar and you think, "That's not fucking fair."
It ISN'T fucking fair. The health risks associated with fatness are way overblown, misunderstood, misapplied, and totally ignore the health risks associated with having other bodies or genetic characteristics. Fatness is made out to be a controllable behavior when it's largely genetically programmed. And the only reason this particular genetic program is called 'controllable' is because billions of corporate and public dollars are pouring into studying how it might, maybe somehow, with some permanent 'lifestyle change' or pill or procedure, be changeable — upon which researchers not affiliated with a source that stands to profit from finding fat bodies changeable discover that after half a century or more of trying to figure out how to permanently change fat bodies in a way that does more good than harm, we're no closer to this answer than where we began.
A 'permanent lifestyle change' of starvation and overexercise does way more psychological and emotional harm than physical good, and perhaps might have adverse effects physically — there haven't been enough people who have permanently (say, for longer 10 years) lost a significant amount of weight (like more than 50 lbs, that is, enough to make a small fat person thin) in a way that subverts their natural set point (so, they'd been at the same weight without doing anything to maintain it for many years before losing it) to even study this.
It's the height of thin privilege and/or dieter self-loathing to think that fat people should live their lives half-starved and overworked in order to pay for the crime of being fat. Fuck anyone who suggests this, especially reasonable people who recognize that starvation and overwork is torture in prison and warcamp populations but somehow okay for fat people. Fuck you, fuck you, fuck you, oh and fuck you.

Nikon 105mm f/2.8G ED-IF AFS VR Micro Lens
This lens is the first-ever macro model with an integrated optical stabilizer. This 105mm f/2.8 reaches a life-size reproduction ratio of 1:1 with an ambitious optical construction of 14 elements in 12 groups. It sports an ED lens and features new Nano Crystal Coat technology, which is designed to further minimize flare. With internal focusing and a gyroscope for the optical stabilization, this Micro Nikkor lens shows nearly a 4-stop gain in speed if compared to the same lens without the Vibration Reduction feature. The lens is large and robust, but its filter thread is a mere 62mm. With an attractive price, it comes complete with a soft case and lens hood, and will be the lens of choice for discerning macro photographers.World's first macro lens equipped with VRVR-II function, offers the equivalent stability of a shutter speed 4 stops fasterSilent Wave Motor, gives fast & silent focussingBuilt using ED glassNano Crystal CoatInternal Focus9-blade rounded diaphram for smoother looking out-of-focus backgrounds105mm f/2.8G ED-IF AFS VR Micro Lens62mm Snap-on front lens cap (LC-62)Rear lens cap (LF-1)Bayonet hood (HB-38)Flexible lens pouch (CL-1020)

Our team is specialized in tracking signatures of infrastructure strain and collapse of societal protection mechanisms. It is ironic that, while we have often had a focus on countries other than the US, we are seeing indication of strain and collapse in basic public health measures in our own country.
Recent examples include Texas, where they have had a recent outbreak of measles as well as now-recent reports of whooping cough transmission not seen in 50 years. The epidemic of whooping cough in Washington State, once considered a "crown jewel" of our nation's public health, is now considered a state of public health compromise.
What do we mean by "public health collapse"? It is a failure to provide appropriate safeguards against preventable, serious disease. However, this failure is not one of public health officials but largely of vaccine refusal by parents. Yes, there is the issue of waning immunity that promoted updated recommendations by CDC regarding pertussis vaccination. However the elephant in the room remains a problem that we have seen repeatedly in the forecast and warning environment: that humans need visible reminders of the morbidity and mortality of these diseases. If enough time goes by without a visible reminder that 1) these diseases exist, 2) they cause serious disease, and 3) they can kill, then you have social resistance to protective countermeasures.
There are multiple factors contributing to this crisis (not in any particular order):
- The "infectiousness" of ideas. We have seen thoroughly unqualified and untrained individuals make claims regarding vaccines being tied to autism, vaccine preservatives tied to mercury toxicity, and "too many" vaccines given at the same time tied to serious medical consequences in children. Thanks to the Internet, these false ideas have spread "virally" and infected not just your average parent, but physicians. We have seen many colleagues in medical fields outside of family medicine and pediatrics (who are on the front line of vaccine promotion) continue to express opinions in support of the abovementioned false associations. It might be suggested to these colleagues that they should be held liable for promoting these blatantly disproved and false claims to their patients, to possibly include report to their state board of medicine. It might be suggested to those parents who heed such advise they would be in good legal position to sue a physician should their child be harmed by not vaccinating. It might be suggested community officials should be empowered to prosecute if an individual in the center of a social network promotes vaccine refusal, and a large outbreak of vaccine-preventable disease is the result. A cost analysis of the recent measles outbreak in Newark, Texas might be considered and the leaders of the megachurch who promoted vaccine refusal could be asked to pay for the response cost.
- The continued rise of Jenny McCarthy is another example of our inability to enforce accountability. Most of my colleagues believe that any parent who places their trust in such individuals over trained professionals deserve the outcomes. ... But the outcomes include the death of an innocent child who is not able to make such informed decisions. This swings the light of accountability on the responsible parents if a child is harmed by their decisions.
- Practicing physicians are in a "damned if you do" / "damned if you don't" situation. There is rarely a week or month that goes by without a parent who informs the front line physician that they do not believe in vaccination. This is despite the gentle reminder the disease in question is serious and may kill their child or another child in their community. Often these parents quote the Internet, or a local herbalist, accupuncturist, or chiropractor as their most trusted source of information. As an added insult to injury, we have seen physicians sued by parents who initially refused vaccination for their child... a child who later died from the disease in question. We have seen inadequate legal protection for physicians caught in this situation.
- Ours is a culture of independence and individuality. The social unity we once saw post-World War II has eroded to the point of disunity when it comes to "without a second thought" mindfulness of our fellow neighbor and the community we live in. Many of the parents who refuse vaccination are counting on their neighbors to vaccinate their children so there is enough herd immunity to protect their own unvaccinated child. Those of the "Golden Generation" did not have such attitudes and placed greater trust in the medical and public health community. It is unfortunate that trust has eroded so dramatically.
- The ongoing collapse of the US healthcare system (some say restructuring) has contributed many tales of physicians being arrested for running "pill mills" and Medicare fraud schemes. Add to that the unseemly display of wealth where patients see a physician (usually a surgeon) pull up into the hospital garage with a high-end Porsche virtually guarantees erosion of trust... nevermind other unbelievable stories of malpractice committed by our mostly highly trained colleagues. Many physicians are now left demoralized and looking for a quick way out of clinical medicine with decreasing numbers of new physicians to backfill their positions.
- Then we have the "nature abhors a vacuum" phenomenon, where we are seeing midlevel providers fill the gaps left by fleeing physicians. Some of these midlevel providers such as nurse practitioners have gained legal authorization to practice medicine without physician oversight. We routinely see problems with misdiagnosis and failure to promote proper preventive medicine such as the recommendation of Tdap for pregnant mothers. Some physicians have referred to this phenomenon as the "dumbing down" of medicine and "you get what you pay for". Yet the vacuum needs to be filled...
- As far as public health goes, it has been unable to keep up with a rapidly overpopulated America. They simply do not have the resources, manpower, or mindpower to keep up. For both overworked clinicians and public health officials we see a "hunker down" mentality of being barely able to keep up with the daily work load (which has increased dramatically in clinical medicine thanks to EHR and ICD-10 implementation). The outcome means we see increased resistance to change and innovation alongside frank burnout.
- Meanwhile, our population density continues to increase unabated alongside increasing connectedness with the rest of the world, courtesy of the ever-expanding global air traffic grid.
A bleak picture indeed. Why do we care about this issue as operational biosurveillance professionals? Forecast and warning is completely dependent on appropriate interfacing with a society able to process and use the information, which includes the promotion of effective countermeasures such as vaccination. We have directly observed progress at the community level in using forecasts that are dynamically updated to drive health risk awareness and vaccination. While this process was done in collaboration with community physicians and public health officials, execution of forecast and warning dissemination was completely independent of existing public health and medical channels. This concept exploits the already well known phenomenon of nearly half of Americans consult the Internet for health information.
We, as operational biosurveillance professionals, find a common challenge with public health and clinical medicine in combatting the vaccine refusal movement. This is ironic given the many fights we have had over the years dealing with a public health and medical community highly resistant to change. Effective deployment of an operational forecast and warning capability for disease threats is predicated on access to countermeasures. We embrace the concept that "national security begins and ends at home", where every citizen contributes to community resilience in the face of a health threat. Part of that contribution is promoting effective herd immunity through vaccination. Here we acknowledge that naturally occurring infectious disease can at times pose a national security issue.
So what does the future hold for the US? We anticipate future outbreaks and epidemics of measles, mumps, and pertussis and preventable, needless deaths of children as a result. Further, we expect to see the following:
- Introductions of polio (however little person-person transmission inside the US thanks to effective water/sanitation). We note this has occurred in the past, typically among migrant religious vaccine-refuser populations. These introductions will create anxiety among physicians and public health officials due to worry about lapses in community herd immunity.
- Resurgence of Haemophilus influenza type B transmission. This is a dangerous pathogen that causes menigitis, epiglottitis, and sepsis in children.
- Resurgence of invasive pneumococcal infection in children.
- Resurgence of rotavirus
- Resurgence of rubella
- ... With the possibility of seeing case reports of tetanus and diphtheria in unvaccinated children
The abovementioned expected resurgence will most likely appear in fits and starts as did measles, mumps, and pertussis. Media exposure will generate limited public debate, but is likely to fizzle out without social action until enough of these occurrences have hit a "critical mass" prompting social outcry. The problem will be whether any of these events generate enough of a geotemporal intensity of morbidity and mortality to truly drive social action to reverse the vaccine refuser movement.

Topic - How about this one then?
Steph-in-the-West on 05 Jan 2013
As the title says - due to changes made by our dear Government in October 2012, in order to save taxes, people who are falsely accused of any crime and found to be innocent, can no longer recover their legal costs from anyone.............so - in other words - Joe or Josephine Bloggs accuses neighbour Fred or Freda Smith of a crime they didn't commit, if Fred and Freda Smith are found innocent - as they should be - they still end up having to fork out umpty thousnad pounds in order to prove it and can't claim that back from anyone. Just for good measure, Joe and Josephine can claim compensation from the Criminal Injuries bods............

Busy Week for Holmgren; NHL Draft, Bryzgalov, Possible Trades
By David Strehle
NHL Hot Stove Creative Editor
With the NHL Entry Draft in his home town of St. Paul, Minnesota just two days away, Paul Holmgren is indeed a very busy man.
While the Philadelphia Flyers' GM is still dealing with some of the same issues that have weighed heavily on the organization over the past couple of decades, he has been pro-actively working to rectify his club's shortcomings thus far.
Bryzgalov and the Flyers' Goaltending
Already having acquired the negotiating rights to pending unrestricted free agent goaltender Ilya Bryzgalov from the Phoenix Coyotes, Holmgren is said to be close to solidifying his spot between the pipes.
Following years of neglect – mostly prior to the time that he took over the GM position from Bob Clarke - Holmgren has taken positive strides over the past year to upgrade his team's last line of defense.
His first major venture into improving his net minders was at the end of last May, when he was able to sign a highly sought after UFA named Sergei Bobrovsky.
The Detroit Red Wings, in addition to several others, were seeking to ink the Russian youngster to a deal. That Holmgren made the 22-year-old Bobrovsky a priority spoke volumes about his commitment to elevate the quality of his goalkeepers.
After a blistering start to the 2010-11 regular season, Bobrovsky cooled off somewhat over the season's second half. Although he yielded just one goal in a 1-0 loss to Ryan Miller and the Buffalo Sabres in the first game of the postseason, he was basically banished to the press box by head coach Peter Laviolette after giving up three early goals in Game 2 of the series.
It appeared Laviolette didn't feel that Bobrovsky possessed the confidence in himself at the present time.
Despite the turmoil surrounding the situation, Bobrovsky came back into the scene when both Brian Boucher and Michael Leighton, who had played just one NHL game all season long after being so instrumental in leading the Flyers to the 2010 Stanley Cup Finals, faltered.
He got the start in Philadelphia's final playoff game, Game 4 against the Boston Bruins in the Eastern Conference Semifinals. He played well, holding his team in the contest until Boston broke open a 1-1 tie in the third period.
The fact that Holmgren would go after the premiere free agent goaltender available in Bryzgalov is a testament to what Ed Snider vowed would happen after the postseason rotating carousel of goalies.
Reports that the two sides have agreed upon terms for a deal is good news for Flyers' Nation – but that only means that the 55-year-old GM's job is about to get that much more difficult.
Before any deal can even formally be announced, Holmgren must first clear salary in order for his club to remain cap-compliant due to NHL tagging rules. That is, no team can have more salary committed to a future season than what the cap limit is set at currently.
The Philly Trade Rumors
This has led to much speculation that a trade, or possibly multiple deals, could be in the cards – even with the realization that the upper cap limit will be raised beyond expectations to $64 million.
There have been many names that have come up in the rumor mill; forward Kris Versteeg ($3.083 million), and defensemen Matt Carle (just under $3.5 million) and Braydon Coburn ($3.2 million) have been the most-mentioned. Perhaps not so coincidentally, all three will become UFAs next summer.
With the possibility of Bryzgalov being the main man in net for the foreseeable future, there has been talk that Bobrovsky ($1.75 million), the franchise's acknowledged goalie of the future, may be dealt. With the prospect of Bobrovsky seeing limited playing time and the probability that it will stunt his development, combined with the fact that he will have to clear waivers before being sent to the AHL's Adirondack Phantoms, "Bob" may be moved.
Some of the more wild rumors have included Jeff Carter ($5.272 million), who has led the Flyers in goal-scoring in each of the last three seasons (to the Columbus Blue Jackets for Jakub Voracek and the 8th overall draft pick on Friday), and even the name of the club's captain, Mike Richards ($5.75 million), has come up ( via TSN's Darren Dreger on Twitter).
While neither is likely to leave town, the depth that Holmgren has built at forward will allow for someone to traded. Scott Hartnell ($4.2 million) remains the best-case scenario, but possesses one of those pesky no-trade clauses that Holmgren gave out so freely early-on in his time as GM. While Hartnell does hold the NTC card, just remember that long-time Flyer Simon Gagne also had one last summer – before being convinced by Philly management to waive it prior to being dealt to the Tampa Bay Lightning.
With the benefit of having the excess room with the cap limit being higher than expected, there may be a chance to re-sign another pending free agent.
"There are some players that we have, Ville Leino, that are unrestricted and we want to keep in our mix," Holmgren said via conference call on Monday. "So, we are going to have to do some tinkering here. It's not like we are in a position where we absolutely have to move cap space or move people to make cap space."
But Holmgren would love to keep Leino, who blossomed under Laviolette after being acquired from Detroit for Ole-Kristian Tollefsen last February. With Leino on a line with Hartnell and Danny Briere, the trio formed one of the most-productive units in Philadelphia.
One of the good things about having to deal a higher-salaried player is that it could benefit the club in another area that it has experienced serious deficiencies in recent decades.
The Flyers and the 2011 NHL Entry Draft
Another general area of failure that Holmgren is reportedly attempting to recify is Philadelphia's propensity for dealing away high draft picks. The perennial win-it-all-now-at-all-costs philosophy that the organization has employed is always much appreciated in the Flyers' community, but it often comes with a price tag. The cost for the immediacy of their acquisitions usually comes in the form of the team's top drafting positions.
The skeletal remains of this years picks is exhibit one which puts an exclamation point on that fact. Here are the picks that Holmgren and his scouting staff possess at the present time:
3rd Round – #84
4th Round – #116
4th Round – #118 (From Tampa Bay)
6th Round – #176
7th Round – #206
"Look at where we are at this year, we have five picks right now," Holmgren pointed out. "Next year we are missing a couple already. Obviously we can't continue to do that. We need to, especially the higher picks – we can't keep giving them up."
He cannot honestly hope to replenish the pipeline of the system with the availability of players that will be left at the five picks he owns this weekend.
Holmgren says even though this is not the deepest of drafts, there are some interesting players that can play next year.
"There are drafts that have been better, think back to the draft of 2003," the GM said. "It's not looking like that but there are a lot of good players and I think there are some players that if they are drafted on the right team, they will have the chance to play right away."
"It's funny," Holmgren continued. "You go back to last year's draft and you look at guys that you think are going to go in the first round and you look at what came out of that round and played right away. I don't think anyone would have said Jeff Skinner was ready to play in the NHL, and he gets drafted by Carolina, they put him in and he makes their team and has a tremendous year. You just never know."
Holmgren was asked if he thought any one player impressed him as being ready to step right into an NHL lineup for the 2011-12 season.
"Gabriel's (Landeskog) name comes up early because he looks like he is physically ready right now," he said. "I think that is why people say that about him being NHL-ready."
And there is an obvious incentive to want to move up.
"It's a fairly good draft, there are some good top-end guys and as I mentioned from 17 down, you might get the same player," the GM noted. "They are all good prospects, so it's a considerable draft. We're drafting at 84 (third round) right now and we'd like to move up, absolutely."
When asked if he could envision the Flyers making a move to get a pick in the first two rounds, Holmgren was optimistic.
"I don't think it is out of the question, but you never know what's going to happen," Holmgren said. "It's something we are certainly trying to stay involved with just to see what people are talking about, more than anything."
As for what he could be looking for in building at a certain position, Holmgren referenced his blue line.
"I think if you look at our team right now, we are very strong down the middle and I think our NHL team we have a couple older guys on the back end, Kimmo (Timonen) and Chris (Pronger)," said the GM. "But we do have some good guys that are fairly young, Braydon (Corburn), Matt Carle and (Andrej) Meszaros, are still all still fairly young if you consider their age, but I don't know if there is any none, obviously we are going to try to draft the best player available regardless of the position."
But even if he cannot get a pick in the first two rounds, Holmgren may look to acquire multiple choices.
"We probably need to strengthen all areas, and that's kind of where the open mind comes in," Holmgren added. "When we get to that point we're not just going to try for one position. If you look on our reserve list we could probably add something in every category."
Which makes the Flyers' allowing the rights to expire for top-ranked goaltending prospect Joacim Eriksson – and to a lesser extent defenseman Simon Bertilsson, goalie Nic Riopel, and forward David Lebrecque – all the more confusing.
There is no doubt that this will be an eventful week in the NHL universe. The NHL Awards Ceremony. The NHL Entry Draft. But it will be even busier if your name is Paul Holmgren.
Taking a Flyer: The 2011 NHL Awards are tonight in Las Vegas, and the only representative of the Orange-and-Black is forward Ian Laperriere. "Lappy" is up for the Bill Masterton Memorial Trophy, which is awarded to the player that best exemplifies the qualities of perseverance, sportsmanship, and dedication to hockey. Laperriere goes up against two former-Flyers; goaltender Ray Emery of the Anaheim Ducks (returned after a grueling rehabilitation from surgeries to correct a degenerative hip ailment), and forward Daymond Langkow of the Calgary Flames (returned from a serious concussion that threatened his career). Laperriere suffered two devastating concussions last year after being hit in the face with slap shots; the first by Buffalo's Jason Pominville where he lost seven teeth and required 100 stitches to close up his face – and yet returned for the third period with a full face shield; and the second in the first round of the 2010 playoffs when then-New Jersey Devils' defenseman Paul Martin's slapper broke Lappy's orbital bone. Laperriere's passion and dedication to his team saw him return – albeit, too soon – in the Eastern Conference Finals during Philadelphia's run to the Stanley Cup Finals. There is no doubt that both Emery and Langkow are very deserving nominees, but there should only be one possible winner tonight – and that is Lappy.

I...I'm... frightened, trembling, and sobbing intensely,
It tormented me for years, now... it overshadows me again.
My... weak heartedness and the anxiety it caused,
I am owing, to be made an example, in debt to its pain.
I...I...scarcely survived, its last advance,
However, this time...I have no chance.
My heart is racing, my head spins
I'm helpless and must confess that it wins
I have no way of shielding its onslaught
For it has portrayed itself as a friend, my soul is caught
Alas the only thing left is to give into its will
And let love take its course, let love have its fill.

I went over there on a slow Sunday morn intending to DL a trial (that's how I got started in WoW over a year ago) and was greeted with the same 'Oops' screen.
I would think that if their intent is to dethrone WoW, they would have more than enough server capacity to handle the predictable surge in interest on this opening weekend.
Now, with the window of opportunity closed and my WoW enjoyment not diminishing, AoC has a very small chance of ever getting my $$$.
Um... This is the smart thing to do. Instead of overloading their servers with a fat webpage, they slim it down to the bare minimum. You can't just say, "Oh, it's their fault for not buying more web servers. AoC going down!" Think of what use these servers will actually SERVE once the initial rush dies down. Nothing.
Their options are either:
1) Pay extra on a waste of money just so you can have a shiny web page during the initial rush.
2) Slim down the web site so that money is conserved, everything works faster, and everyone is happy.
Hell, even BLIZZARD did this for TBC.
People will whine about ANYTHING. /facepalm
