As true fans, we like to honor Miley every day. We KNOW there will be a lot of Miley's out there this Halloween… we are taking the lazy approach. If you haven't already, check out Sufjan Stevens open letter to Miley! And this article… where Gloria Steinem basically shuts down the whole debate.

If you give a nerd a dataset…
…she'll spend all damn week playing with it it.
Here is the product of about four lunch breaks and one long evening: a look at whatever I can glean about the CSM election from the actual ballots that were cast.
Some things are obvious from just looking at the results. TEST got screwed. The HBC in general did not vote in the kinds of numbers that the goons did. My estimates to Alikchi regarding Providence turnout were laughably high (c'mon, people). The infamous Bloc Ballot did not go as far as the propoganda/doomsayers said it did.
Single Voters
The first thing I looked at was the single voters, those who voted for only one person in the election. CCP put this in the stats devblog, but here's a table version with the votes and the votes as a % of that candidate's first place votes.
The percentage of total votes is, of course, influenced by how many total votes that candidate *had*, so sorting by that won't match sorting by total number of solo votes. Solo voters are most likely those who either didn't know anything about being able to vote for multiple people or those who were pushed to vote because they knew/supported a candidate, but didn't care much about the election as a whole. Having a higher percentage of solo voters didn't necessarily rule a candidate out; looking at the placement of the winners it doesn't seem to have been a problem.
If those solo voters had instead voted for the candidate's slate (or at least, the candidate's preferred second choice)…nothing about the election would have changed. Their votes enhanced people's vote totals, maybe keeping them in longer, but if they'd voted more intelligently (or in lockstep with their candidate's preferences), the election would not have been different.
Common Pairs
So, okay, who *did* people vote for? Gevlon Goblin has a nifty spreadsheet visualizing this over here, and I have my own table versions. First, the most common pairs. All of the bloc votes other than wormholes are visible here. The Ripard Teg Ballot pulls in at third, followed by N3, an HBC variant, Russian voters, and Provibloc.
The number of potential combinations of votes influences what's in the table. Wormholes aren't visible here because there are 20 possible wormholer combinations, enough to put their pairs below the threshold for inclusion in this table. [Empty] makes such a good showing because there's only one possible way to vote for just Greene Lee.
To take order into account, I looked at the most common sets of top-threes. Because these are sets, it doesn't matter if someone voted mynnna/Kesper/Kaleb or Kesper/mynnna/Kaleb, they count as the same set. Since order isn't important, wormholes make a strong showing here— Nathan Jameson, Cipreh, and James Arget were the most commonly-combined top-three. Not counting the Ali/Core/nobody else voters, Provi's third choices were diverse; the remaining 600 or so Provi votes aren't visible on the table. Again, [Empty] has an unfair advantage due to the few number of ways to vote for just one or two candidates.
After the top three or four ballots, the number of votes per set of three is really low. I plotted the number of votes for the top 100, and you can see how quickly the number of votes drops off.
If you want to see who was a likely second choice for each candidate, check out this spreadsheet. Here's a sample of the results, but there were too many rows to include in this post.
The Big Blue Ballot
Throughout the election, one of the big things trumpeted from both the Bloc and "Independent" camps was the incredible power of the nullsec bloc ballot (by which, of course, it was meant the CFC/HBC ballot). So how well did it do in the actual election?
Well, they each got their top four in. The top HBC votes elected Sort Dragon, and the CFC votes elected Mynnna, Kesper North, and eventually Sala Cameron. The bloc voting was pretty consistent too. I looked at how many ballots had any of the HBC/CFC candidates in their top six. Here's how many ballots had some overlap with the HBC/CFC ballot, graphed according to how strong that overlap was (1 candidate versus 6 candidates). It makes a neat little u-shape. 27,613 voters had no overlap at all, plenty of ballots had 1-3 candidate overlap (conscience voters), and then there's a drop until you get to 6 candidate overlap.
When you look at who was removed in those 4 and 5 candidate overlap ballots, they're mostly swaps of one bloc candidate for other candidates lower down on the ballot. These changes in organization didn't really affect the outcome of the election.
If you look at the voting log, though, you can see that candidates who were not on the top four and were viewed as/ran as primarily bloc candidates lost out, big time. The great tactical moral of the story from this election is that it pays to build up a base outside of whatever support you may get from your buddies. If you don't, you'll stand a good chance of being eliminated early on, never to cash in on those trickle-down votes from slate voters.

Lost Northwest Pilots Were Trying Out New Software
timothy posted about 5 years ago | from the so-they-say dept.518
Hugh Pickens writes "The NY Times reports that two Northwest Airlines pilots who flew about 110 miles past their destination to the skies over Wisconsin as more than a dozen air-traffic controllers in three locations tried to get the plane's attention had taken out their personal laptops in the cockpit, a violation of airline policy, so the first officer could tutor the captain in a new scheduling system put in place by Delta Air Lines, which acquired Northwest last fall. 'Both said they lost track of time,' said an interim report from the National Transportation Safety Board countering theories in aviation circles that the two pilots might have fallen asleep or were arguing in the cockpit. 'Using laptops or engaging in activity unrelated to the pilots' command of the aircraft during flight,' said a statement from Delta Airlines, 'is strictly against the airline's flight deck policies and violations of that policy will result in termination.' Industry executives and analysts said the pilots' behavior was a striking lapse for such veteran airmen who have a total of 31,000 flying hours of experience between them. In the case of Flight 188, 'Neither pilot was aware of the airplane's position until a flight attendant called about five minutes before they were scheduled to land and asked what was their estimated time of arrival,' the interim report said."

Blanche has Histrionic personality disorder.She's very melodramatic, absolutely must be the centre of attention, is frivolous and open, and maybe has sort a little problem with... sleeping around.
See the article on The Other Wiki here.
Sophia was a figment of Rose's imagination.You know how, in the first season, Sophia would only do a few side jokes and fade away? Many of those times, she fades away JUST before or after Rose enters the room. Rose either created Sophia from Dorothy's memories, or created Dorothy as well. When Rose takes charge in the spin-off, she is more confident and sharp. Sophia is less so and is going senile. Rose used Sophia (and possibly Dorothy) to vent her snide remarks and still seem nice. When she got more confident and closer to her friends, she started to let up on these visages.
Dorothy had a third childOr rather, a first. Michael, despite apparently being the firstborn of a 38 year marriage started by a pregnancy, is only 30ish. Dorothy must have been pregnant eight years before she had him. Dorothy had a stillborn child when she was young and scared and inexperienced, on the way to the hospital. Overly traumatized, 8 years later, she became pregnant again with Michael and automatically folded the two births together for her mind to heal. Stan didn't cheat on her solely because he was attracted to younger women; there was her mental condition and the 8 years and the dead child she had forgotten. Dorothy is always angry with Stan because she subconsciously blamed him for the loss of their firstborn without realizing it. Sophia, Salvador, The Zbornaks and Stan all kept the secret from her, knowing that she had been catatonic for the 8 years in between. This explains why Mama Zbornak disliked yet respected her. Sophia has probably told Blanche and Rose the truth, possibly while Dorothy was affected by Chronic Fatigue Syndrome — her previous mental problems may have contributed to whatever was happening to Dorothy. There's a reference to the child Dorothy and Stan conceived out-of-wedlock still being alive. (Sophia remarks that Stan and Dorothy had an "accident" in the car they took to the prom, and that this "accident" still calls her grandma.) Maybe the child that prompted their shotgun wedding is alive, but Dorothy and Stan both refuse to acknowledge him/her. Maybe the trauma of the pregnancy was so great that Dorothy's response was to ignore the child's very existence.
Dorothy's daughter was the reason she married.While it was once implied that Michael was the first born, it was never stated. It's far more likely that his sister was the eldest, especially since her age is never given.
Rose is the smart one.Rose is incredibly smart and witty, the rest of the girls don't understand her dark and incredibly dry humor. See The Cuckoolander Was Right.
The entire series is a massive "Back in Miami" story that Rose is telling to friends in St. Olaf.If she tells her friends in Miami about life in St. Olaf, why wouldn't she do it the other way around? And like her St. Olaf stories, it's long, gets sidetracked, misremembered, and has nothing to do with what her friends were talking about.
Dorothy's father is haunting her, but she's not aware of it.In one episode, the actor who plays Salvador plays a jester at the restaurant Dorothy goes to on a date. This isn't a coincidence. Salvador is actually possessing the jester. The audience can see him for who he really is, but Dorothy just sees the waiter whose body is being occupied.

text: there's been something that's going on in my head due to my feelings. I've been thinking about it and I want to ignore it, but the thoughts keep returning to me. I want to act on it, but I'm resisting the urge to do so because I know that I shouldn't. It's not worth ruining what I have over a temporary feeling. So as of now, I'm just waiting for it to past by, hoping that these thoughts will leave me a peace of mind.

In case you were wondering, Charlie Winburn doesn't use marijuana. He said so himself, several times during Wednesday's meeting of council's Public Safety Committee.
Here's how it came up: Council was talking about the texting-while-driving ban, a violation of which would be a minor misdemeanor. Winburn mentioned another minor misdemeanor Cincinnati has – possession of small amounts of marijuana – and announced that he doesn't text while driving, or at all, and he doesn't smoke marijuana. He said he just wanted people to be clear on both.

Which I-I have, of course… a bed. And a home.
Not only does Dean show he cares about Cas. He also shows he knows Cas, since every one of these times, Cas was in fact not feeling too good about things.
We can't always tell. But Dean always can.
That last moment is something we should be talking about more, because for all those times that he was callous, all those times that he let Cas think he was only as good as his powers, this was him making up for it.
"You said I sucked," Cas told him in Heaven Can't Wait, and god Dean was struck by it, by the knowledge that his words could have been so hurtful to someone like Cas that he remembered them still, after everything that has come since.
Now though, he knows. He understands the effect that his dismissal had on Cas, and he doesn't want to let it happen again. In that one sentence he's not just asking Cas if he's okay, he's telling him that he doesn't care about the powers. That he just cares about Cas, his best friend, his only family outside of Sam.
For everyone who has been saying that this season has undone the progression of Dean and Cas' relationship Season Eight, please look at moments like this. This is growth. This is understanding.
Without the struggles they've faced this season, both together and apart, they would not be in this place, and I for one see this as a very positive step.

Increased Risk for Head, Neck Cancers in Patients with Diabetes
Main Point:
Diabetes mellitus (DM) appears to increase the risk for head and neck cancer (HNC).
Published in:
JAMA Otolaryngology-Head & Neck Surgery

Racial Disparities in Sentinel Lymph Node Biopsy in Women with Breast Cancer
Main Points:
The use of sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) to stage early breast cancer increased in both black and white women from 2002 to 2007, but the rates remained lower in black than white patients, a disparity that contributed to disparities in the risk for lymphedema (arm swelling common after breast cancer treatment because of damage to the lymphatic system).
Published in:
JAMA Surgery
Dalliah M. Black, M.D., of the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, Houston, Texas.
SLNB was developed to replace axillary (arm pit) lymph node dissection (ALND) for staging early breast cancer to minimize complications. SLNB can often provide patients with a much more limited surgery. Racial disparities exist in many aspects of breast cancer care but their existence in the use of SLNB had been uncharacterized.

Use of Tumor Necrosis Factor Inhibitors for Treatment of Inflammatory Bowel Disease Not Associated With Increased Risk of Cancer
Main Points:
In a study that included more than 56,000 patients with inflammatory bowel disease, use of a popular class of medications known as tumor necrosis factor alpha antagonists was not associated with an increased risk of cancer over a median follow-up of 3.7 years, although an increased risk of malignancy in the long term, or with increasing number of doses, cannot be excluded, according to a study in the June 18 issue of JAMA.
Published in:
Study Further:
Tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α) antagonists are drugs that have been shown to be beneficial in reducing the inflammation in inflammatory diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) (Crohn disease and ulcerative colitis). The therapeutic benefits of TNF-α antagonists must be weighed against the potential for adverse effects, including a possible increased risk of cancer. "Therefore, long-term observational studies of consequences of treatment with TNF-α antagonists are needed," the authors write.
Nynne Nyboe Andersen, M.D., of the Statens Serum Institut, Copenhagen, and colleagues studied cancer rates in patients with IBD exposed to TNF-α antagonists, as compared with patients with IBD not exposed to these drugs. The study included 56,146 patients (15 years or older) with IBD identified in the National Patient Registry of Denmark (1999-2012), of whom 4,553 (8.1 percent) were treated with TNF-α antagonists. Cancer cases were identified in the Danish Cancer Registry.
In total, 3,465 patients with IBD unexposed to TNF-α antagonists (6.7 percent) and 81 exposed to TNF-α antagonists (1.8 percent; median follow-up, 3.7 years) developed cancer. The study results indicated that exposure to TNF-α antagonists was not associated with an increased overall cancer risk. In addition, no site-specific cancers were observed in significant excess.

Liver cancer screening may not increase survival in chronic hepatitis C
Main Point:
Screening for liver cancer may not lead to greater survival among patients infected with chronic hepatitis C virus, according to an evidence review.
Published in:
Annals of Internal Medicine
Study Further:
Current guidelines recommend screening high-risk individuals for liver cancer, but the strength of evidence supporting these guidelines is unclear.
Researchers for the Veterans Health Administration conducted a systematic review of published literature to determine the benefits and harms of routine screening for liver cancer in patients with chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV). Twenty-two studies were included in the review. While screening could identify patients with earlier-stage disease who could benefit from treatment, the researchers found very-low-strength evidence about the effects of liver cancer screening on mortality.
Studies show that liver cancer has variable rates of progression and some patients may never experience symptoms. Diagnosing and treating patients for liver cancer that would never progress is an example of overtreatment. The researchers found no evidence examining rates of overdiagnosis in liver cancer screening. These findings neither support nor refute current clinical guidelines. Read more…

Intervention Increased Adherence to Fecal Occult Blood Testing for Colorectal Cancer Screening
Main Point:
A multipart intervention increased adherence rates of annual fecal occult blood testing (FOBT) for colorectal cancer (CRC) screening in vulnerable populations.
Published in:
JAMA Internal Medicine
David W. Baker, M.D., M.P.H., of the Feinberg School of Medicine at Northwestern University, Chicago, and colleagues.
The vast majority of CRC screening in the U.S. is by colonoscopy, although studies suggest that FOBT can achieve similar reductions in CRC mortality. Colorectal cancer screening rates are lower among Latinos and people living in poverty. Expanded use of FOBT testing my help reduce disparities in CRC screening that persist because of income, education, race/ethnicity, language, and insurance coverage.
How the Study Was Conducted:
The authors examined the effectiveness of a multipart intervention that involved mailing a FOBT kit to patients' homes and following up with automated telephone and text reminders. If the FOBT was not completed in three months, patients received a personal call. The study included 450 patients who had previously completed a home FOBT and had a negative result: 72 percent of the participants were women, 87 percent were Latino, 83 percent used Spanish as their preferred language and 77 percent were uninsured. Patients were divided into two groups: 225 patients to usual care (including computerized reminders and standing orders for medical assistants to give patients home FOBT tests) and 225 patients to the intervention.
Intervention patients were more likely (82.2 percent vs. 37.3 percent) than patients who received usual care to complete FOBT. Of the 185 patients who completed screening, 10.2 percent completed prior to their due date (intervention was not given), 39.6 percent within two weeks (after initial intervention), 24 percent within two to 13 weeks (after automated call/text reminder) and 8.4 percent between 13 and 26 weeks (after receiving a personal call). The estimated cost of the intervention was $34.59 per patient. Only 59 percent of patients with a positive FOBT completed a diagnostic colonoscopy.
"Despite the success of this intervention at increasing adherence to annual FOBT, the hope that this strategy might be used in the future to reduce disparities in CRC mortality must be tempered by the fact that only 17 of 29 patients with a positive FOBT result completed diagnostic colonoscopy (59 percent)," which was offered to patients for free along with access to transportation.

Commentary: Benefits to Increase Colorectal Cancer Screening in Priority Populations
In a related commentary, Beverly B. Green, M.D., M.P.H., of the Group Health Research Institute, Seattle, and Gloria D. Coronado, Ph.D., of Kaiser Permanente Center for Health Research Northwest, Portland, write: "Follow-up colonoscopy is crucial, since the chance of CRC is as high as 4 percent in individuals with a positive FOBT result, and almost one-third have advanced precancerous adenomas."
"Lack of a follow-up colonoscopy defeats the purpose of a FOBT screening program," they continue.
"Baker et al do not describe the reasons for low rates of follow-up diagnostic colonoscopy, but for many people in the United States, the barriers to this procedure are substantial and include limited availability and cost," they write.

Portland's plugged another leaking hole, finding a short-term answer for a long-term problem.
The Oregonian's Joe Freeman reported on Tuesday that the Trail Blazers will open up training camp with J.J. Hickson listed as the starting center.
"J.J. is the incumbent," Stotts told Freeman. "I'm not saying he's going to be the starting center opening night. We'll have to see how training camp goes, see how the preseason goes, and then we'll make that determination. Meyers (Leonard) has played very well (this summer). But it's just like politics: J.J. has been here, he's the returner, so going into it he has the advantage."
Hickson averaged 14.8 points, 9.2 rebounds and 1.1 blocks per game in March, turning his production up when LaMarcus Aldridge was sidelined with a lower back injury.
At 6'9″, 242 lbs, J.J. is a very athletic, undersized forward who is extremely adept at finishing around the rim — part of the reason why he shot an impressive 54.3 percent from the field with the Blazers. But like many young, promising athletes in the NBA, his lack of effort on the defensive end is what gives coaches and analysts headaches.
"Despite good size for a 4 and decent athleticism, Hickson still struggles mightily at the defensive end. This is partly a result of playing out of position at center so much, but the data has been brutal on this front his entire career. According to 82games.com, opposing power forwards had an 18.2 PER against him in Sacramento and a 17.9 mark in Portland. The Blazers also gave up dramatically more points with him on the court, although this didn't happen in Sacramento. Given how bad his data was in Cleveland, this suggests mild improvement at best."
"Optimists will point out that at least he is a solid rebounder and doesn't foul."
A solid rebounder who doesn't foul.
Is that who we want patrolling the inside of the Blazer defense?
Hickson has tenure (of some sort) and has been around the league for four years, but wouldn't you rather see a seven-foot shot blocker manning the middle, rather than a small forward-sized scorer?
You've probably had his college stats shoved down your throat already, but one more time won't hurt, I promise.
Leonard averaged 13.6 points, 8.3 rebounds and 1.9 blocks per game in his sophomore season at Illinois. He, too, is super athletic, making his mark on offense through garbage buckets and pick-and-rolls leading to alley-oops.
But like all rookies, there's a learning curve. Leonard weighs in at 245 pounds; only three more than the significantly shorter J.J. Hickson. He'll have to put on some muscle to keep his base against dominant centers like Dwight Howard and Andrew Bynum. He's very "raw" offensively, lacking any semblance of a post game, and he has little to no range on his jump shot.
Still, the Blazers aren't looking to add offense to the back court.
L.A. and Meyers Leonard could be a Blake Griffin-DeAndre Jordan duo — one dominant scorer and one defensive anchor, and Hickson could be the spark plug off the bench that Portland can go to when scoring dries up.
But that's just my opinion. What's yours?
Should Portland start J.J. Hickson or the rook, Meyers Leonard, at center?

text: The Mail February 4, 2013 Issue Character Study A letter in response to Daniel Mendelsohn's article (January 7, 2013) Table of Contents Like Daniel Mendelsohn, every gay man of a certain age that I know was influenced in his youth by Mary Renault's novels ("The American Boy," January 7th). But women of a certain age were as well, and not always in a positive way. Renault, like her contemporary the lesbian novelist Marguerite Yourcenar, who also created idealized homosexual male characters, was a misogynist. Both writers seemed to despise their female characters, all of whom are either absent entirely or loathsome, but, unfortunately for young female readers, both writers were extremely persuasive in their depictions of heroic gay men. Renault was so powerful an influence on me that, fifty years after first reading her, I find her work still sneaking into my own novels, transforming my female characters into gay men, and making them all noble, romantic, faithful, and heroic. This idealization of homosexual love, as Mendelsohn notes, does not reflect the lives of real people. I have often felt great resentment toward Renault, who could not create a single female character that I could admire. Agnes Bushell Portland, Me.

Don't buy Piero Marini's book A Challenging Reform in which the former papal Master of Ceremonies justifies the postConciliar 'reforms' perpetrated after Vatican II by his cronies and heroes. It is at least a venial sin to to contribute to the royalties of charlatans. The book is also extremely boring, despite the puff given to it by another iffy individual, Bubbles Stancliffe, to his pals 'Bishop of Salisbury' (' reads more like a detective thriller, and keeps us on the edge of our seats').
My language may seem strong, so let me justify myself. Marini's theme, from which he never diverges by a millimetre (for such 'liturgists', there are no greys to spoil the beauty of their blacks and whites), is how goodies pushed through 'reforms' in the face of resistence from baddies who did their best to prevent the implementation of 'what the Council wanted'. Quite where all these baddies came from is unclear. The Council's document on the Liturgy was finally approved by 2,147 votes in favour and 4 against. (Among those who voted in favour were Archbishop Lefebvre and other 'reactionaries' who, unaccountably, must have failed to realise the astoundingly innovatory nature of what they were voting for).
The secret of Marini's sleight of hand is to confuse two fundamentally distinct things: what the Council did mandate; and what Marini's chums forced through without sanction from the Council. We must indeed acknowledge examples of changes made by the 'reform' which do in fact relate to the Council's instructions. The Council did mandate that a wider diet of Scripture should be put before the faithful in the Mass. (Mind you, I doubt if most of the Fathers realised that this would be taken to mean a complete abolition of the ancient lectionary system. The initial reaction of the Church of England to the same liturgical impulses was simply to add Old Testament readings to the existing system. But let's give the 'reformers' the benefit of the doubt.) So the Three Year Lectionary can claim Conciliar mandate. Or take the Breviary hymns. The Council did say that other hymns from the Church's lyric treasury should be added. So the hymns in the postConciliar Liturgy of the Hours can claim Conciliar mandate. (Mind you, I doubt if most of the Fathers realised that this would mean the addition of a very large number of new compositions and the abandonment of saying any of the ancient hymns at all by the great bulk of the Catholic clergy who, despite the Council's wish that Latin should be preserved, were persuaded to to adopt vernacular Office Books).
But what about the proliferation of alternative Eucharistic Prayers in the period after the Coucil? This is completey absent from the Conciliar shopping list. Only a few years before the Council, an Anglo-Catholic writer, Dudley Symon, had written of the Canon Romanus, the immemorially ancient Eucharistic Prayer of the Roman Church, This was the Prayer that S Augustine brought with him to England in AD 597 and which for a thousand years was familiar to and loved by the English people. It is almost incredible that by a stroke of the pen it was made illegal [in 1549] by State action, though not so strange that revolts were widespread against this piece of tyranny, revolts that could only be stamped out by German mercenaries ... it is most unlikely that [the Roman Rite's] chief glory, the Canon, will be touched or cease to be said in Latin even if elsewhere much more of the vernacular is permitted.
So this move was intensely revolutionary and the Conciliar Fathers had not so much as dreamed of calling for it. Let me quote to you how Slipparini slithers round these facts: The fact that four Eucharistic Prayers were approved was consistent with the early Roman liturgy, which actually had used several anaphoras. One sentence; and a sentence culpably crafted to deceive. It is indeed likely that in Rome, as elsewhere, in the very earliest days of the Church, the Eucharistic Prayer was extemporised (just as there was perhaps a period before the Lord's deeds and words were written down and regarded as 'Scripture'). There is evidence that the text of the Canon evolved through various stages (just as the texts of what became the Gospels may have done). After all, classical liturgy did not come down from heaven ready made and with every i dotted (and neither did the text and canon of Scripture). But to give the impression that the Roman Rite, as soon as we have Latin texts to bear witness to it, was a rite in which alternative anaphoras were used, so that introducing after Vatican II alternative Eucharistic Prayers is 'consistent', is nothing less than a cheap trick.
How nice to take time off from all this unpleasantness to attend the CIEL Tridentine High Mass in the Brompton Oratory and then to hear Dr Alcuin Reid lecturing with clarity, accuracy, and a painstakingly detailed use of sources.

Inn and Spa at Loretto
Santa Fe, New MexicoEnter your email address and zip code for pricing and availability
Why Stay At Inn and Spa at Loretto
Experience authentic Santa Fe at this renovated pueblo-style inn, now with Native American design elements (geometric patterns, bold colors) and a renowned southwestern-style restaurant.
The Scoop
Taking its name from Santa Fe's famous Loretto Chapel next door, the Inn and Spa at Loretto recently underwent a major renovation that looked to the area's Native American Pueblo Indians folklore for inspiration. Historic photos and maps and artisan-made items throughout the inn reflect the hotel's celebrated history while guest spaces—in vibrant hues of deep terracotta red and Navajo gold—are accented by the black and white patterns often used in Anasazi pottery and blankets. The spacious, comfortable rooms (all with oversize leather reading chairs and some with private balconies) look out to the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, the nearby chapel, or the inn's lavender-scented gardens. And the location, just a few blocks from the historic Santa Fe Plaza, can't be beat.
Insider Tips
Book the Native Desert Sage Massage at the hotel spa, which uses a rare, house-crafted desert sage oil blend to relax sore muscles.
Request an indoor table next to the fireplace at the hotel's restaurant, Luminaria, which serves locally-purveyed dishes (such as Santa Fe paella and New Mexico dry aged lamb) that incorporate native spices and ingredients.

Being a healthy eater will not stop women gaining weight once they hit middle age, Australian researchers have found.
A study of more than 7000 Australian women found once they hit their late 40s they were likely to gain weight irrespective of how closely they followed the Australian Dietary Guidelines for healthy eating.
"Women, on average, will gain two kilograms over the menopause years and the only women who resist that are women who put either extra focus on their diet or extra focus on physical activity or both," the study's chief investigator, Clare Collins, said.
The study followed healthy women aged 48 to 56 for six years, and found those who ate the most healthy foods gained just as much weight over that time as those who ate the least healthy foods – about 1.7 kilograms.
"Our earlier research had found people who had a higher diet quality score also consumed more calories, because if you have a greater frequency and variety of healthy foods you also consume more energy," she said. "So the good news is we showed they don't gain [more] weight."
Professor Collins said analysis did seem to be finding a link between high fruit and vegetable intake and less weight gain, which she suspected was due to switching from unhealthy foods.

The synthetic platelets represent the latest and one of the most advanced in a line of efforts over the last century to mimic platelet function. While clotting factors and platelets from outside donors are used widely to halt bleeding, immune system responses and thrombosis have been issues. Non-platelet-derived substitutes have also received attention; however, said Doshi, these do not physically resemble the physical features of natural platelets.
"This development is a significant milestone in the field of biomimetic materials," said Samir Mitragotri, professor of chemical engineering, director of UC Santa Barbara's Center for Bioengineering, and an author of the paper. "By capitalizing on our capabilities in engineering materials, with the expertise in platelet biology that exists in Professor Ruggeri's laboratory, our synthetic platelets combine unique physical and biological attributes that mimic natural platelets." Biomaterials research is one of the principal focus areas in UCSB's Center for BioEngineering. In 2009, Doshi and colleagues in the Mitragotri laboratory developed synthetic red blood cells.
"This work is a marvelous demonstration of the power of material synthesis applied to medical problems. The synthetic platelets can have profound implications in wound-healing problems for trauma and wounds arising in both battlefield situations and during surgery," said Frank Doyle, director of UCSB's Institute of Collaborative Biotechnologies and the Associate Dean of Research of UCSB's College of Engineering.
Other authors of the study include Jennifer N. Orje, Blanca Molins, and Zaverio Ruggeri from Scripps Research Institute; and Jeffrey Smith from Sanford-Burnham Medical Research Institute.

Just out of nowhere, I began to have visualisations of a lone cake in a forest. Recently, Matt and I shot images for our wedding invitations in a pine plantation about an hour out of Melbourne, and little did I know I would be back assembling a three tiered cake amongst the rows and rows of trees. {Um...isn't that what artists do, of course I was going to be back?}
I kept having this dream about shooting a cake in a forest, and I kept telling everyone that it was going to be my next project. Saying it out loud sounded, well ludicrous - and I loved it. Imagery of a cake dwarfed by the towering rows of straight pines, yet having enough magic for you to instantly connect to.Read More

Final Score: Alaska-Anchorage 83, Loyola Marymount 77
Anchorage, AK (Sports Network) - Teancum Stafford led four teammates in double figures with 19 points as the Alaska-Anchorage Seawolves edged by the Loyola Marymount Lions, 83-77, in the final round of the Great Alaska Shootout at Sullivan Center.
Stafford was 8-of-13 shooting from the floor, including 3-of-5 from three- point range, to go with four assists and six rebounds for UAA (6-1). Colton Lauwers scored 14 points, while Kyle Fossman and Abebe Demissie contributed 12 points a piece.
For the Lions (3-3), Anthony Ireland had a game-high 26 points, making good on 3-of-4 shots beyond the arc. Ashley Hamilton added 16 points and Nick Stover contributed 11 points off the bench in the setback.
UAA started the game on a 12-1 run, eventually taking a 35-29 lead into intermission. It was able to hold the Lions to just 7-of-26 from the floor in the first 20 minutes of play.
The Seawolves got hot from the floor in the second half, making 14-of-23 field goal attempts, including 8-of-11 from three-point range, as they held off a late Loyola comeback attempt.
UAA shot 55.6 percent from long-range (15-of-27), while the Lions made only 5- of-13 from beyond the arc.

Island Loggerhead Shrike
Scientific Name
Quick and Cool Facts
Conservation Status
Recent exhaustive surveys on Santa Cruz and Santa Rosa Islands provided the first reliable estimates of island loggerhead shrikes (Stanley et al. 2012). Estimated population size in 2010 was 240 on Santa Rosa and only 42 on Santa Cruz, and historical shrike populations may have been much higher (Collins 2008). Higher shrike numbers on Santa Rosa may reflect higher habitat quality on that island. There may be more habitat with short vegetation, which shrikes prefer, on Santa Rosa Island. Shrikes also require adequate perches from which to hunt, and suitably thick shrubs in which tonest. Changes in vegetation due to removal of non-native ungulates will have as-yet undetermined effects on shrike habitat.
Very little is known about the ecology of the island loggerhead shrike. Basic information is lacking concerning breeding biology, habitat relations and the importance of predation. Because of this, the reasons for its apparent decline and the difference in population size between Santa Rosa and Santa Cruz Islands remain unclear.
The island shrike's cousin, the San Clemente Island shrike, was listed as Endangered in 1977 and at one point was considered the most endangered animal in North America. In 1998 there were only 12 adults remaining in the wild. The population has since increased due to captive breeding and reintroduction, coupled with innovative predator control: predatory island foxes were fitted with shock-collars to prevent them from depredating shrike nests (Cooper et al. 2005).

Thanks Jax! I'll keep an eye lit for your posting. We suspected there was more manual but haven't been able to locate it. Enjoyed your video. Your Polly speaks a little more distinctly then ours, and seems non-stop. Ours paces itself a little better but has added an annoying periodic beep. I'm thinking the batteries are getting low. Enjoy the day!

Hey guys I wanted to know if any one has this parrot. it came out in 2001 by manley toy quest part #14614. I can not find any data on it. I found it at a thrift store and it has never been opened and brand new except for the dust. Got it for 5 bucks. This is what it does. eyes change colors, head dress & mouth moves, flapping wings, and he talks, has AI, extensive vocabulary, voice learning capabilty, touch, light & sound sensors. the discription on the back reads: "Direct from the Institute of Robotic Technology comes this amazing interactive robot pet-- POLLY THE TEKNO PARROT! Polly talks with people he senses around him just like a real parrot. Polly's electronic cuircuits can detect motion, sound, light and even touch. He will snore off to sleep at night and wake up in the morning. If you pet him, he will "coo" and move his wings. Don't leave him in his cage too long or he may catch cold! You can even TEACH HIM NEW WORDS and other amazing tricks!" I'm not sure if this is a treasure that should not be opened or should I open it up and start the squaking from him. Here is a few pics I took. I hope someone can shine some insight for me before I open it up. Oh i also has aan electronics cracker I guess to feed him when he gets hungry. IThe original batteries are dead and I think If I don;t remove them It may leak in the battery holder and make it useless. What do you think I should DO!.
GWJax, To Hack and make mods on robots is a life style and comes natural and not by choice. If a robot has a screw to open it then it must be opened!
awesome accent!!!is it yours?a2:the video
ROBOTICS IS MY LIfe!!!badhoboses.

my robots-[in short form]-rq'robop;rsv2,rsv1;rsm,roborap,roborep.
Hello Jax, I just gave Polly fresh batteries and it's talking more, plus much more distinctly. The cracker can be substituted with anything generally that size that you can trigger the mouth with. We're using a book of matches. I'm interested in a recharger though. Let me know what you can come up with. I was thinking of snagging another Polly off Ebay, just for the recharger, but would rather not have a silly blue cage standing around.
Being American myself I'm not detecting an accent, but I do like your faceial decoration!
Hi Jax, I don't have a cage, and no recharger. Keep in mind I'm new here, don't know much about such things as rechargers, and am still trying to figure out what "PM" means. It was a big step for me to unscrew the plate and change the batteries. Do you think the cracker does anything special besides move the lever inside the mouth? Does the cracker have any interactive qualities?
I think my only other "robot" is a tiny R2D2 that beeps when you push a button on his chest. No wait! That reminds me, somewhere is a 7" remote controlled R2D2. Do they count as robots?
Hello Jax, So I should try and find a real Polly cage because more phrases are available stored in it? I know it sneezes if you leave it in the cage too long, stuff like that. I'm guessing if you got a recharger together for me it would just recharge, but wouldn't add to the programing, correct?
About the cracker ..... I was eating some regular saltines, listening to Polly, and he asked for a cracker. So what the heck, I stuffed a real one in his mouth. It worked! I used the same cracker on and off the rest of the evening, and he pretty much crumbled it, but it is visually pretty funny to see Polly munching on a real cracker.
*** Deleted By Moderator ***
Thanks Jax! The manual posted on the Internet certainly was missing the good stuff, like how to program Polly's tricks! I can't wait until the rest of the house is awake so I can experiment. Last night I left Polly on the kitchen table and he finally fell asleep so I forgot he was still active. Pre-dawn I was typing at the computer, sneezed, and was startled by a loud "It's a beautiful day!!! Took awhile for Polly to snore himself back to sleep.
So now I'm really confused about the cage/recharger thing. Let's see if I'm starting to get it..... the cage is not a recharger but it takes over powering Polly when Polly is in it. You can't use rechargeable batteries if you're using the cage. Polly picks up additional phrases while in the cage. Would those additional phrases then be accessible to Polly out of the cage? Or only while Polly is in the cage? If I got Polly a recharger and rechargeable batteries Polly could be stashed on the recharger.
Do you know of, or can you think of, any interesting hacks that could be carried out on Polly?
Hello, or should I say "It's a beautiful day!" Now that I've submitted my photograph you'll note the family resemblance with Polly. We're having loads of fun with the programing, especially with the full manual Jax provided. Playing cards last night we were one player short so Polly sat in. Polly didn't win many games but he sure cracked everyone up. Unfortunately Polly gobbles power when singing and "dancing" (three different songs) and by the end of the evening had weakened.
So a couple of questions ..... when Polly first ran through a song and dance, even with fresh batteries, parts of the sound were muted. What causes this, and can it be remedied? Also .... the phrases we taught Polly that evening started by playing back very loud and then got quieter and quieter, though the pre-programed phrases stayed strong. Would the recording ability wear out? Remember this Polly is second-hand with an unknown history. I've got my sights on what appears to be a "new" Polly with cage and cracker, and am closing in.

Rollerderby postcards for Squibbit
Artwork by Danny Hirajeta
*slaps ass* Go get'em fresh-meat.
Oh yeah!
Commission for D for Derby magazine.
Our Cedar Rapids Roller Derby commission poster for Lori Hartzler [and her team mates] Very pleased with this and Lori was a delight to work with.
I haven't been able to draw anything for myself for a while, so have a derby comic.
That mouthguard has been attached to my teeth ever since :(
de lo más épico que he vivido hasta el momento
So, I'm designing a set of "DC Comics VS Marvel Comics Roller Derby" art cards. I'll be doing them in pairs with 16 cards in all. First up, Wonder Woman VS. Ms Marvel (or Captain Marvel, if you prefer)
Next: "To know her is to fear her" VS The Girl of Steel!
— Fighting — Another illustration for Deadly Kiss, roller derby magazine !
So a little over a year ago now, the story department at Disney put out an anthology called "Where is Dead Zero?". It was the third in a series of anthologies, all based around questions; the first, "Who is Rocket Johnson?", the second "What is Torch Tiger?", and this one. Each artists story was their own answer to the question.
I just realized i never posted my (very, VERY short) story for Dead Zero anywhere, so here it is!
Roller Derby is soooo much fun, if you've never gone to a bout i highly recommend finding your local team (most cities seem to have one) and checking it out. I've never played (can't skate, can't ride a bike, can't do most things on wheels), but it's awesome to watch. One thing that's super fun are all the player names. They're almost all puns, most of them kinda raunchy. In prepping for this comic, i talked to a derby friend and confirmed that yes, the names ARE intellectual property. She got me a link to an official list of every currently registered player that i could check my names against. Once i decided that Dead Zero's team was all numbers based (hence the countdown) that made it a lot easier.
I didn't use most of them, but i decided the other team would all have Tolkein themed names. Killmarillion is still one of my best ideas to date, i should just stop trying because it's not getting better than that.
We've got a fourth book coming out in the near future! Keep your eyes peeled for:
"When is High Moon?"

Saw his work a few years ago at the Nat'l Gallery… loved it.
Dan Flavin (1933-1996) was an American minimalist artist famous for creating sculptural objects and installations from commercially available fluorescent light fixtures.
Dan Flavin is awesome. I was lucky enough to see the bottom middle installation at the Hirshhorn Museum here in DC.
Reblogged from of that around me.

Need some quick advice please
Hi there, my name is Tam and I am new to JUDDD and I think it's a wonderful woe!! I came off P2 of Hcg 11 days ago and have used JUDDD to maintain cuz I hate P3 of HCG, lol. I think this is a lifetime maintenance plan :up: Although I do want to do the 2 week induction and continue fat loss if possible...
My problem is I did the UD DD thing perfect for the first week then on day 8 had a MD (of 700cals) then D9 was an UD then D10 I made homemade beef jerky and couldn't stop "tasting" lol which once the math was done turned into a 1,300 cal/50 carb MD day(is it still a MD day if my reg number is 1,800?).
So my question is what to do today to get back on track. I've kinda gone MD UP MD and I know it is not a good idea to do a DD after a MD but I am wondering if I should due to yesterdays higher number? I really want to activate the SIRT gene and I think I may be undoing the induction? It will screw up my planning for the next couple weeks to do a DD as all social events have been planned for an UD, but for the greater good I will. Not sure what to do in this situation, I have read a lot on here but not Dr Johnsons book I admit!
Any advice would be great, I am going to wait the 18 hrs before eating so that gives me 5 hours to gleam some advice from you wonderful people!!
Thank you in advance!! :hugs:
:welcome: Tam! It's great that you've dived in and are doing so well. What happened isn't a big deal. If it's easier to have your UDs where you've already planned, stick to that rotation. One tiny little "slipup" like this won't make a huge difference in the long run. It's hard to get past that mindset coming from LC or HCG, that one messup screws up the whole thing. It really doesn't with JUDDD! Good luck!
I agree. Continue with your normal rotations, so your social plans don't get screwed up. No biggie. :welcome:
You'll find JUDDD is very forgiving, you may lose a little more slowly after a 'high' MD. But you will still continue to lose.
Good to have you here. :)
Welcome Tam. I agree with the others' advice! :cool:
Welcome Tam!
What everyone said.
Life happens. JUDDD forgives.
Oh OK, that is a relief! I noticed I was up 2lbs today too, to 144.4 lbs which by Hcg rules would mean a dreaded protein day, although I do believe that food/water doesn't always leave the system right away so it is probably not a concern...
My concern is that this mess up was during induction, and activating the SIRT gene is such a wonderful and amazing thing, that I would hate to mess it up! But you all don't think I have caused it to stop activating? Technically I have just started counting UD cals after reading here that it was recommended and found I had been going over so I wasn't surprised that I hadn't lost any weight yet, just as long as that skinny gene gets activated!! I really appreciate all your support and quick responses, I love this board!!!
Tamra, you may or may not have "messed up" the sirt gene, but it gets reactivated just by doing another DD or two. It's not a problem and you will begin losing soon too, I'm sure.:welcome: The daily bounce up and down is part of this WOE too. I typically go up 2 lbs after a UD, but the general trend is downward over weeks and months. :)
Lol now that I have waited all day to eat and had kinda rearranged my plans (like saving cupcakes from weds til thurs or moving a sat dinner to this sat instead of next) I am rethinking this might be a good DD. Fickle huh?
If one wanted to make every Saturday an UD, how would it be best to structure?
Th DD
Sun DD
Does that make sense?
Would it still activate the SIRT or best to wait til off induction?
