The author does not attempt to cover fully the operative surgery of the head, neck, thorax and abdomen, but deals only with the commoner and more important operations. There is a brief and elementary introductory chapter on the nature of infection and general surgical technic which more properly belongs in a book on principles of surgery. Ether is recommended as the general anesthetic of choice, and the statement that if chloroform were abolished, the advance of surgery would be hastened rather than retarded, shows that the British are gradually approaching the point of view so long held in this country. Hedonal as an intravenous anesthetic is recommended when patients are in a critical condition resulting from cachexia, hemorrhage, nephritis, etc. Local anesthesia receives far too scanty consideration. It is scarcely mentioned in such operations as hemorrhoidectomy, thyroidectomy, herniotomy and tracheotomy. Most of the important operations are exceedingly well illustrated. Cushing's

ExpressJet apologizes for night of tarmac hell
ExpressJet Holdings made a public apology Thursday to the passengers that were forced to stay on a plane for six hours on the tarmac with no food, overflowing toilets, and crying babies.
The plane carrying 47 passengers was diverted to Rochester on its way to Minneapolis-St. Paul International due to weather conditions. They were stuck on the tarmac until 6 a.m. before officials let them sit in the terminal.
ExpressJet originally claimed they couldn't let the passengers off into the terminal because all the security personnel had gone home for the night. Rochester airport officials fought back, saying they offered to let the passengers stay in the terminal in a secure area until a new flight was scheduled.
ExpressJet was operating the Continental flight that night. Officials apologized for the "extended delay of flight 2816, which did not meet Continental's service standards," according to the Star Tribune report.
The company is reviewing the incident and is providing details to the Department of Transportation, which is investigating.

Final 5-year results of the Synergy between PCI with Taxus and Cardiac Surgery (SYNTAX) trial were recently presented at the Transcatheter Cardiovascular Therapeutics (TCT) and European Society of Thoracic Surgery (ESTS) meetings [1]. SYNTAX is frequently quoted as "the most important percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) vs. coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) trial in multivessel and/or left main (LM) coronary artery disease (CAD) conducted to date"[2,3] However, the impact of its findings on day-to-day clinical practice remains surprisingly humble [4].
SYNTAX was a randomized "all-comers" multicenter trial conducted in 85 centers across Europe and the United States designed to test the hypothesis that PCI with paclitaxel drug eluting stents (DES) is non-inferior to CABG in patients with 3-vessel and/or LM coronary artery disease. The trial randomized 1800 patients judged to be eligible for either strategy to CABG (n = 897) or PCI (n = 903). Patients who were deemed ineligible for CABG or ineligible for PCI were entered into one of two "nested" registries.
Eligibility was jointly determined by a cardiothoracic surgeon and interventional cardiologist belonging to the "Heart Team".
The decision was aided by the SYNTAX score - a novel grading system based on the patient's coronary anatomy that was developed for the trial [5]. Accordingly, 1077 patients were deemed ineligible for PCI and entered into the CABG registry and 198 patients were deemed ineligible for CABG and entered into the PCI registry. The primary clinical end-point was the composite of Major Adverse Cardiac and Cerebrovascular Events (MACCE) (all-cause mortality, cerebrovascular accidents, nonfatal myocardial infarction and repeat revascularization at 12 months). A co-primary safety end-point was the composite of all-cause mortality, cerebrovascular accidents and nonfatal myocardial infarction.
Secondary end-points included MACCE at 6 months, 3 and 5 years as well as individual components of the composite primary end-point. Secondary end-points also included quality of life at one month post procedure and at 6 months, 1, 3 and 5 years post allocation as well as cost and cost-effectiveness at 1, 3 and 5 years. The study missed its primary end-point with PCI failing to prove non-inferior to CABG at 12 months [2].
At 5 years, patients with multivessel disease who underwent CABG had fewer MACCE compared to those who underwent PCI [24.2% (n = 133) vs. 37.5% (n = 205), p < 0.001]. Importantly, a similar difference was noted in two of the individual components of the composite end-point with fewer deaths and myocardial infarctions occurring in the CABG group compared to PCI: all-cause mortality [9.2% (n = 50) vs. 14.6% (n = 80), p = 0.006] and non-fatal myocardial infarction [3.3% (n = 18) vs. 10.6% (n = 58), p < 0.001]. A more pronounced difference was observed in cardiac morality [4% (n = 22) in the CABG group vs. 9.2% (n = 50) in the PCI group, p < 0.001].
The increased incidence of cerebrovascular accidents (CVA) in the CABG group initially observed at one and three years has leveled out by 5 years to become statistically insignificant [3.4% (n = 19) vs. 3% (n = 16), p = 0.66)]. The composite safety endpoint of death, CVA and MI also fell significantly in favor of surgery [14% (n = 77) vs. 22% (n = 120), p < 0.001]. Patients undergoing PCI had significantly higher rates of repeat revascularization compared to CABG [12.6% (n = 69) vs. 25.4% n = 139, p < 0.001]. PCI was however shown to be equally safe to CABG in patients with a low SYNTAX score ( < 22), but at the cost of a higher rate of repeat revascularization. This group comprised only 20% of the SYNTAX population.
On the other hand, patients with left main disease showed no significant difference in outcome between both strategies apart from a higher incidence of repeat revascularization in the PCI group compared to CABG [26.7% (n = 95) vs. 15.5% (n = 54), p < 0.001] albeit with a lower incidence of cerebrovascular accidents [1.5% (n = 5) vs. 4.3% (n = 15) p = 0.03]. Subgroup analysis showed that PCI in patients with low and intermediate SYNTAX scores ( < 33) had comparable outcomes to CABG particularly in those with isolated left main and/or left main plus single vessel disease.
The trial comprises several unique features that render it the wealthiest source of evidence in patients with multivessel and/or LM disease:
The pitfalls in the trial were limited and unlikely to alter the overall conclusions:
Despite being – in strict technical terms – a negative trial, SYNTAX offers invaluable insights into the outcomes of different revascularization strategies in patients with multivessel and/or LM disease. CABG remains the revascularization strategy of choice for the majority of patients with multivessel coronary artery disease. PCI might be an equally safe alternative for a small subset of these patients, namely those with SYNTAX scores < 22.Left main disease can be safely and effectively treated by PCI in a considerable number of patients (SYNTAX scores < 33), particularly those with isolated LM or LM+single vessel disease. The SYNTAX score is a reasonable semi-quantitative surrogate for the severity and complexity of CAD – factors which should be taken into consideration when making decisions about the optimal revascularization strategy for individual patients.
Genuine implementation of the Heart Team concept is arguably the most valuable lesson learned from the SYNTAX trial. With many remaining uncertainties and countless clinical scenarios, the best outcomes seem to depend profoundly on a multidisciplinary decision-making process aided by quantitative reproducible risk-prediction algorithms. The value of the Heart Team approach in patients with complex coronary artery disease is further addressed in this issue of the journal which also provides valuable insight into the role of SYNTAX in shaping the current practice guidelines [10,11]
The Excel Study (ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT01205776) is expected to provide further answers on the safety and effectiveness of PCI - using second-generation DES - compared to surgery in patients with LM disease.

Washington Post Runs Pro-ALEC, Anti-Science Op-Ed From Inhofe Ally Carly Fiorina
CREDIT: Shutterstock
Carly Fiorina wrote a painfully anti-science, pro-pollution Washington Post op-ed this weekend.
Here is what climate science denier Sen. James Inhofe — "the last flat-earther," according to the Post — said of Fiorina in 2010 when endorsing her GOP Senate candidacy:
She is supporting what I am supporting. In fact Carly made a statement yesterday that was the strongest statement I've heard yet in terms of the whole global warming hoax. So I was very proud of her.
Here is all the Post thinks you need to know about Fiorina:
For the Post, Fiorina's relevant bio ended a decade ago and nothing she did since related to politics or climate change should be of any interest or concern to readers. Yet even the HP credential is ironic given that HP's stated views are the exact opposite of hers: "HP supports U.S. federal and state efforts to mandate overall GHG emissions targets."
Last month, Eric Schmidt, Executive Chairman of Google, explained that ALEC is "just literally lying" about global warming and "making the world a much worse place." That's a key reason "Tech Companies Are Dropping ALEC En Masse," joining many electric utilities and even oil companies — beyond the many mainstream companies that abandoned ALEC two years ago for their advocacy of "Stand Your Ground" laws.
The Fiorina op-ed shows it is two steps forward and one step back for the Post. Earlier this month, the Post took a major step toward improving its woefully inadequate climate coverage. It hired long-time science blogger Chris Mooney, who has since written a series of great pieces.
Back in August, the Post launched a series of editorials demanding a change in both dialogue and action on climate. As the paper's editorial board explained, the debate has devolved from serious talk by both parties before Obama's election into inaction because "a faction that rejects the science of global warming dragged the GOP into irresponsible head-in-the-sand-ism."
But who represents that faction more than Inhofe and those like Fiorina who embrace him and endorse his radical anti-science views?!
Sadly, the Post's embrace of science was always tempered by its embrace of "false balance." Editorial page editor Fred Hiatt suggested at the time the paper will now be "more inclined to take op-eds that challenge" their view that climate science is real and that the threat posed by it is "existential." Looks like he was serious.
And so we have them publishing nonsense from Fiorina like this:
This month, a climate-related pressure campaign by Greenpeace forced the Danish toy-maker Lego to end its relationship with Shell. Too often companies succumb to the interests of a small minority of well-organized, professional activists intent on chilling speech and marginalizing the voice of business and job creators in U.S. society.
So how exactly was Lego "forced" by Greenpeace to sever its ties with the oil giant? Well, let's go to the link Fiorina provided — the Fox News (!) version of an AP story:
Danish toy maker Lego says it won't renew a deal allowing Shell to hand out Lego sets at gas stations in some 30 countries, following a viral campaign protesting Arctic drilling.
In July, Greenpeace launched a video showing an Arctic landscape with a Shell drilling platform made of Lego bricks covered in oil.
Apparently the best example of "professional activists intent on chilling speech and marginalizing the voice of business and job creators" that Fiorina could find anywhere on the interwebs was mean old Greenpeace releasing a … [insert chilling music here] … video that … [show image of marginalized job creator here] … then went viral.
The entire op-ed is beyond lame. Over and over again Fiorina pretends to be open-minded on climate science so she can then deny the need for any serious action:
Climate change is a big issue; informed discussion is desperately needed and solutions are not immediately obvious.
Huh? The solutions are immediately obvious, as every major independent study on the subject has explained: We slash carbon pollution ASAP, which is a very low cost solution. We have lots of choices, including wind power, solar PV, solar thermal, geothermal, other renewables, nuclear, conservation, and energy efficiency. We just don't have a lot of time.
How can pro-ALEC Fiorina possibly claim with a straight face she favors "informed discussion." As Google's Schmidt notes, ALEC is "just literally lying" about global warming. Heck, the head of ALEC said earlier this month: "I don't know the science" of climate change."
To have an informed discussion one must first have actual information, not disinformation:
When discussing climate, scientists may agree that some policy change is warranted, but they also agree that action by a single state or nation will make little difference.
Yes, scientists "may" agree that "some" policy "change" is warranted. In fact, the American Association for the Advancement of Science, for instance, pleaded for immediate action in a major report this year because "We are at risk of pushing our climate system toward abrupt, unpredictable, and potentially irreversible changes with highly damaging impacts."
Fiorina offers no links or evidence to support the claim that scientists "agree that action by a single state or nation will make little difference," since that is the standard argument made by the anti-science crowd. In fact, scientists and other climate experts generally argue that if the richest country in the world — which is responsible for the most cumulative carbon pollution to date — fails to act, it's hard to see how the other nations of the world will join together in the collective action needed to avoid catastrophe.
To support her opposition to the proposed EPA carbon-pollution standards for power plants, Fiorina actually cites a CATO study, and then writes:
But this information seems to be lost on the activists, who are all too willing to brand companies and groups as "climate change deniers."
This is the same CATO that just last month published a "mind-bending piece" (in the words of a Post writer), which argued that "The rise of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere … is cause for celebration" — not just today but "far into the future."
Fiorina is a climate inactivist and confusionist. Consider this line:
No form of energy is perfect. The debate is so much more complicated than the simplistic notion of switching from traditional energy sources to renewable ones.
This is Fiorina's hand-waving prelude to why we must love coal.
Saying "No form of energy is perfect" is just another way of saying climate change isn't a big deal. It'd be like a quack treating an obese patient with diabetes saying, "No form of food is perfect — so along with the occasional fruit and vegetable, go ahead and have The Cheesecake Factory's Bruléed French Toast with its 2,780 calories, 24 teaspoons of sugar, and 93 grams of saturated fat."
The bottom line is that ALEC is a place companies can use to fund legislation that harms the public — you, me, all of us — without directly getting their hands dirty. Or at least they could before activists and the media exposed them. Now that the truth is out about their pro-pollution efforts, serious companies are abandoning them.
Fiorina doesn't want climate action. She uses her HP credential to press her case even though HP endorses climate action.
If the Washington Post is serious about improving the dialogue on climate change, it should be embarrassed to have published her piece.

Different diets have been shown to leave characteristic patterns of microwear on the teeth of various mammalian species. The quantification of microwear features facilitates the comparison of taxa, and allows the discrimination of wear patterns associated with specific diets. The current study reports on a semiautomated image analysis procedure designed to expedite microwear quantification by engaging an IBM PS/2 running OS/2 Presentation Manager to compute and record the density, dimensions, and orientations of features defined by a user employing a mouse-driven cursor. This technique is used to distinguish microwear patterns on the maxillary central incisors (I1s) of four Sumatran primate species (n=5 per taxon) with known dietary differences (Hylobates lar, Macaca fascicularis, Pongo pygmaeus, and Presbytis thomasi). However, although developed for a particular problem area, the analytical routines described are of general interest.

Great Gift for Someone that has lost a loved one
By LoAn
from Clinton Township. MI
A perfect way to show a loved one that you care what they are going through. A beautiful way to remember a loved one especially at Christmas. The couple I gave this to had suffered a loss of a parent and a grandparent within one week of each other. This was a great way to show them that I am there for them, and that their family member that has passed will always be with them. They loved it.
Remembered every holiday with this beautiful ornament.

If you've been paying attention to the right places in the past few months it was probably obvious this was coming, but Qualcomm is announcing a higher tier to their Snapdragon 82x lineup, known as the Snapdragon 821 or MSM8996 Pro. While today's announcement basically boils down to acknowledging that this SoC exists and that the big CPU cores have a clock speed of 2.4 GHz, it's likely that in the months since the Snapdragon 820 was released Qualcomm engineering staff have been working on resolving various errata as well as improving their floorplanning and architecture implementation.

During a recruiting trip to Penn State last summer, Devon Smith had the opportunity to meet with legendary Penn State football coach Joe Paterno.
While sitting in JoePa's office, Smith thought about the significance of being recruited by a
college powerhouse like the Nittany Lions.
He reflected on how he was going to be the first member of his family to go to college. And he recalled all the comments from doubters who never thought he'd star at the high school level, let alone make it to college.
With all those thoughts swirling through his head, Smith broke down and cried in front of Paterno. They were tears of joy from a kid who right then and there realized just how far his
athletic talent could take him.

TV Show: "Martin"

Musical Artist: Lil Wayne
"All my life, people have been telling me I'm not going to make it in football," Smith says. "They say, 'You're too small. You're only fast.' I took that as, 'OK, watch what I'm going to do.' Now look at me. I have a scholarship to Penn State."
The 5-foot-7, 155-pound Westlake (Waldorf, Md.) senior (whose first name is pronounced day-von) earned that scholarship offer thanks to his electrifying moves on the gridiron as a running back/wide receiver/kick returner. But he also happens to be a national-caliber sprinter who plans to compete for the track team at Penn State as well.
There will probably be skeptics who'll say he can't handle double duty at a Big Ten power like Penn State. But that's nothing new. Everywhere he's gone, Smith has heard the whispers of those who've looked at his lack of size and wondered if he was for real.
Each time, he's answered with a resounding yes.
During his freshman year at Eleanor Roosevelt, Smith saw significant playing time for the varsity football team despite checking in at 5-foot-4 and 102 pounds. The following season, he became an All-County selection.
Smith's promising football career was briefly halted during the fall of his junior year following his transfer to Westlake, as he had to sit out the entire football season at his new school. Instead of sulking, Smith turned his attention toward
prepping for the indoor track season.
"I thought the year was going to be terrible," Smith says. "I played football all my life. But I couldn't get down. I knew I had to improve in something."
Smith did more than improve -- he moved to the top of the class in track. At the Marine Corps Holiday Classic in New York, Smith ran on Westlake's victorious 4x200 relay team, which clocked a 1:28.85, good for the nation's No. 5 high school indoor time last season. His 6.32 in the 55-meter dash at both the Charles County Invitational
and Southern Maryland Athletic Conference
championship was also a top-five national time.
At the Maryland Class 3A state indoor meet, he won the 55 and helped the 4x200 and 4x400 teams to titles. Following state, Smith took his talents to the national stage, placing second in the 60-meter dash at the Nike Indoor Nationals in Landover.
Smith earned a spot on The Washington Post All-Met first team thanks to his scintillating indoor campaign, a season in which he let
everyone know there was a new sprinting force to be reckoned with.
"He's a finely tuned athlete who's very serious in what he does," Westlake track coach Beth Shook says. "When he goes to the starting blocks, he's focused on what he wants to do. Then it's all one fluid motion. The gun goes off and, blink your eye, he's at the finish line."
Smith carried his winter success into the spring season. At the prestigious Penn Relays, he helped Westlake's 4x100 team place fourth in the Championship of America race. The Wolverines were the only U.S. team in the race, a competition that featured six Jamaican squads and one from the Bahamas.
At the 3A state outdoor meet a month later, he set a state record in the 100 with a 10.42 in the prelims before capturing the title with a 10.64 in the finals. He also won the 200 (21.43), led the 4x200 relay team to a state record (1:26.40) and helped the 4x100 squad to a 3A record (41.76).
As soon as track ended, Smith turned his attention back to the gridiron with hopes of getting noticed by elite college
programs. He took a major step in that direction when he earned MVP honors at the Under Armour Combine in Baltimore.
Penn State was the first school from a BCS conference to offer a scholarship, and Smith pledged to the Nittany Lions early in the fall. After how he played this season, it looks like they're getting a steal. Smith led the Wolverines to the Class 3A state championship, returning a punt for a touchdown in the title-game triumph over Wilde Lake on Dec. 4. He finished the season with 1,806 rushing yards, 401 receiving yards and 31 total touchdowns.
"He's a threat to score every time he touches the ball," Westlake
football coach Dominic Zaccarelli says. "If he gets in the secondary and makes one guy miss, there isn't anyone who's catching him."
"I got a good lick on him in practice once, but that's about it," adds
senior running back/linebacker Evan Harris, who's also on the track team. "When he gets the edge, you might as well say forget it. He's a blur."
With his final high school football season behind him, Smith is intent on not only defending his state track crowns but also becoming the best
sprinter in the nation. It's a definite change in mindset for someone who focused solely on football while growing up.
"I used to think I was a football player running track," Smith says. "But when I started winning and winning, I started to like track. I just like to
compete in everything."
And prove all the doubters wrong along the way.

Study: People Without Kids Much Happier Than People With Them–But Not For The Reasons You'd Think
According to a study done for the Council on Contemporary Families that studied 22 countries (European and English-speaking destinations), the United States has the largest deficit in terms of happiness when comparing parents and people without children. Utilizing the International Social Surveys of 2007 and 2008, and the European Social Surveys from 2006 and 2008, researchers from the University of Texas, Baylor University, and Wake Forest University found that most countries dealt with some pretty unhappy parents while a few, including Norway and Hungary, had more caregivers who were actually happier than nonparents. What's that really all about?
Well, the study's findings seem to come about not because, as some would assume, having a child is this soul-crushing thing that zaps you of all your time, money, and energy; but rather, it's because of the lack of policies set up to provide affordable child care and opportunities for employees to spend time with their kids. Parents from the United States were the most unhappy due to the lack of policy changes that could be most beneficial, including a focus on "the duration and generosity of paid parenting leave, the number of annual paid sick and vacation days guaranteed by law, the cost of child care for the average two-year old as a percent of median wages, and the extent of work schedule flexibility offered to parents of dependent children."
Without some flexibility with these things, many mothers and fathers find it hard to balance their work responsibilities and their familial obligations. As researchers pointed out, countries that had pretty solid policies to help working parents found no gap in happiness for those with kids and those without. In fact, they found that policies that were beneficial for nonparents, including guaranteed minimum paid sick leave and vacation days, helped parents and made everyone happier. The same was true for certain countries that offered less expensive out-of-pocket costs for child care. Fathers reported that their happiness was more likely to be impacted by child care costs, and mothers said their happiness was most affected by time policies, including paid sick and vacation days, allowing them more or less time to be at home with their families.
So to summarize, the better the packages and policies that benefit working moms and dads, the happier they are. When they aren't so accommodating for parents, you see the large gap in happiness between those with and without children. The less stressful balancing work while raising children is for parents, it seems, the happier everyone is.
Is It Too Late To Rebuild The Relationship With My Father's Side Of The Family?
It's funny how, as a kid, my family felt perfect. Whole. Things, life in general, are always easier when you're a child, amirite?
It wasn't until I grew up that I realized we weren't the Huxtables by any stretch of the imagination. As a kid, my grandparents would visit my dad, mom, sister and I in Maryland and send birthday cards like clockwork. Even after my parents divorced, I would spend several weeks during the summer hanging with my cousins in the Bronx. I mean, we were closer than close, almost like siblings. My dad's family was my comfort while I was still reeling from my parent's split. They were a major part of my childhood.
With that being said, I can't exactly pinpoint the moment when my bond with them began to break down, but I knew once my dad had some trouble with the law and our own relationship faltered, I wouldn't get a taste of the Big Apple or his side of the family for a while, especially since my mom wasn't close with them. But my underdeveloped preteen brain had no clue that due to misunderstanding and hurt feelings, communication would come to a screeching halt.
You see, I was the only grandchild who didn't live in a neighboring borough, so I suppose my relationship with the rest of my paternal pack became an "out of sight, out of mind" sort of thing. The birthday cards and phone calls slowed as I got older. And while my dad's family was attending the grade school graduations of my cousins and taking trips to the circus, I felt like the neglected grandchild of the bunch. Still, even though I harbored resentment for things out of my control, when I moved to New York City after college, I was eager to reconnect with the paternal branches of my family tree. I assumed the universe would bring things full circle, ya know? I returned to where I'd built a unbreakable bond with my dad's family so I'd have a chance to reconnect with them and make things right.
Well, spoiler alert: Things didn't go as I'd hoped.
Their lukewarm reception to my return, filled with side-eyes and "Why haven't you reached out to us?" initiated my emotional defenses. Considering I was the child in the situation, was it really my responsibility to keep in touch all those years? Was it my fault that my immediate family didn't live in New York City like the rest of them? I'll spare you all the details, but let's jut say in the nearly five years spent dwelling in the city, I lived no more than a 20-minute cab ride from my grandparents' front door and barely saw them. Guess you can say the blame game was intense.
When I did visit, I watched sports games with my grandfather as he told me stories about his childhood, gossiped with my grandmother, and even tried to keep up with my cousins, but I always returned to the feeling that they were virtually strangers who just so happened to look like me and share my DNA. I wasn't invited to my cousin's baby shower or alerted when my grandparents had to go to the hospital. I had to dig for answers about such things and I didn't understand why.
Don't get me wrong, there were occasional shared laughs, slivers of moments when it felt like there was no hurt between all of us. But to be honest, for so long, I felt forgotten about and I couldn't shake that feeling.
So now, as Father's Day approaches and I've been able to work on my relationship with my dad, I wonder if trying to mend fences with his side of the family is worth it. I've gone this long and survived so much without them. By no means do I hate them or wish them harm, but I do feel like some emotional destruction is irreparable. Both parties have to want the same thing and actively try to regain the love lost. I don't feel like doing so is of interest to them.
I'll give it to my aunt, though. About a week before I left New York, she called me to reminisce about the days she took me to get my first Dominican blowout and buy me some cute summer clothes. It was a sign that there is still love deep down and a warm embrace being offered.
With the understanding that time is precious and life is short, I struggle with finding peace about letting go of past resentment, but I think it's important to try and to show them love and respect as long as we all have breath. As a little girl, I couldn't control the narrative, but now I can write my own story and I wonder if they deserve to be apart of it. Ultimately, I just want to be able to move forward and really, your family is all you have.

Polite Ways To Deal With People Who Meddle In Your Business
If you live anything but a dull existence, there will always be a meddler around to get in your business. It's just how they roll. Some do it because they have your best interest at heart and don't want to see you get hurt. Some do it because gossip is life, or being bossy is life, and they don't know any other way. And chances are, if you have a meddler on your hands — especially if they're an adult meddler — there's nothing you can do to change them.
But you can change the way you react to these nosy nuisances without having to give them the boot. We can't always cut all of the messy people out of our life. For some of us, that would mean there would be very few people left in it. Instead, change how you deal with their shenanigans, and with time, it won't interfere with your day.

How To Be A Better Mom In 20 Minutes Or Less, Seriously
We all wish we were SuperMom, but that goal seems so far beyond reach at times. We're sharing one mom, Brandi of MamaKnowsItAll.com, story as she realized just how accessible the title of SuperMom could be.
This year has been incredibly hectic for me, both personally and professionally. First I got a new job, then I got engaged, and after that I got married. Of course, with all of that came lots of work, travel, wedding planning, and everything else that comes along with impending nuptials and a career advancement. The one constant in all of that was my Ayva. My little girl is seriously amazing. She is so flexible and open to new experiences, and even when I feel like I'm not being the best mom, she still thinks I'm the greatest.
It's because of Ayva's confidence in my mothering abilities that I made a commitment to being a better mom. I beat myself up pretty bad, y'all, over my parenting deficiencies. I wanted to be that mom that baked delicious treats, and always engaged my little one with crafts. The truth is, I'm always so exhausted, and the thought of being SuperMom seemed daunting. Ayva deserves a SuperMom, though, so I've been making a few adjustments that are helping me to be able to give her more attention, and create more meaningful interactions with her. Really, with just a few simple changes and intentional additions to our routine, I'm becoming a better mom every day in 20 minutes or less.
READ: How To Be A Better Wife In 20 Minutes Or Less
Make being a mom a priority.
So, what did I do? The main thing was to make being a mom a priority. It's true, I have my shows that I like to veg out to. All of "The Real Housewives," as well as anything reality based that I can indulge my voyeur tendencies on. Well, some of those had to go. I needed more rest in order to have more energy during the day when Ayva was awake and needed me. I also started saying no to non-essential travel that would take me away from her, and declining opportunities that would decrease the time we could spend together.
Be realistic about the time that being a better mom takes.
The greatest lesson I learned, though, was to to be realistic about the time that being a better mom actually took. For example, a few months ago, Ayva went to a friend's house for a playdate. While she was there, the mom made muffins. Of course, the next day Ayva came home and asked for muffins. My first reaction was, "I don't know if we have time, Ayva." Then I pulled up a muffin recipe and realized that it'd take me about five minutes to mix everything up (eight minutes if Ayva was helping), and 12 minutes to bake. I had 17 minutes. So, I made the muffins. And Ayva and I have been baking at least once a week every since.
Learn how to listen better. If influence is something you think you may need in your arsenal once children are beyond the phase of simply being told what to do, consider learning how to really listen.
Get up earlier.
Get up half hour earlier than the kids to get yourself together & have alone time so you can be refreshed & mentally available for the kids.
Read together.
Reading together is awesome. Even when you have a teen.
Look at your child.
Look into your child's eyes when you talk to them. Be focused on them and them alone when you are engaging with them. This lets them know you value them and are not distracted by life not to look them in the eye when you are talking.
Just put away the screens. Telephone, computers…put them away.
Schedule time for your child.
When working from home with a little one, take a 20 minute break to read a story, color a picture or work on puzzle. I think of it as a person working outside of the home would: when you have a scheduled break you aren't doing any work…same goes for your scheduled break with the kid. No work, no phone calls, no quick emails. You are off the clock!
How are you becoming a better mom?

Travel Trials: I Backed Out Of Vacation Plans With My Family, Should I Pay Them Back?
(As relayed by Lauren R.D. Fox based on a culmination of experiences)
Once my siblings and I graduated college, our parents began to plan annual vacations. Although I enjoy spending time with my family, there have been major changes in my life within the past six months.
My long-term boyfriend proposed to me and I moved to his hometown of Philadelphia. Since my move, we began wedding planning and even paid off some of our vendors. Although they're excited for me, my parents want me to have a long engagement so my wedding will not interfere with the family trips they pre-scheduled. I told them several times I will not put my life on hold for them, especially since these pre-scheduled vacations are always planned at inconvenient times with no regard to my own schedule.
Our next family trip is scheduled for June but I told my parents I will not be going because I have to pay my bills and take care of wedding expenses. Since I ignored their request to hold off my wedding, my parents want me to pay back the money they spent on my portion of the trip. I don't think I should have to pay since they didn't consult with me before booking the trip.
Am I tripping or should I pay them?
How Far Are You Willing To Go To Provide For Your Family?
I typically don't cry when I watch an episode of the daytime talk show The Real because, well, it's The Real. But this revelation really spoke to my heart. I recently came across a clip of co-host Jeannie Mai sharing a touching story about her upbringing and the fear she had of not being able to provide for her family.
Her parents immigrated to the United States from Vietnam in hopes of providing better opportunities for their children. With limited funds, her father took a meeting at Jeannie's school in order to land a janitorial position. The only catch is he wanted to work at night so his children wouldn't see him. Throughout the week he would treat his family to take-out and would watch them eat. Whenever Jeannie asked him why he wasn't hungry, he simply answered because he already ate. One night, she found him digging in the trash eating their family's scraps. Telling this story brought tears to her co-host's eyes, and mine.
Talk about sacrifice.
There's something about becoming a mother that has opened my eyes even more to my limits and how far I would go to provide for my family. Don't get me wrong, I love my husband, but he can take care of himself at the end of the day. I'm so thankful we're financially stable, but I know–without a doubt–he would take any and every job he could to keep a roof over our heads and food on the table. His parents did the same for he and his sisters in Panama, lighting the path for them to attend college and pursue their dreams. Heck, my own father worked overtime as a police officer to make sure he could help pay for my higher education. Because of his line of work, I didn't see him all the time, but knew he was out risking his life to make sure I had a better one.
As much as I'd like to think folks would do what's necessary to provide for their family, I honestly don't see it as a reality many could handle. If it came down to you having to work a blue-collar job you thought was "beneath you" to pay your bills, would you do it? Could you set your pride aside to ensure your household wouldn't have a care you couldn't provide for? The recession really opened my eyes to the reality of people's financial situations and who was willing to do what it takes to keep their family afloat. I knew some people who would work nights and part-time at CVS or Burger King while others would turn their noses to such a thought because it didn't utilize their master's degree. Rather than work an "in the meantime and between time" hustle until they landed a better job, they would kick back until their next interview and collect their unemployment check.
And what about the other end of the spectrum, that is, those who bend over backwards all the time for their family? Is there such a thing as doing too much? While I agree with Jeannie Mai about wanting to provide for my family, I also need to keep it "real" with myself when it comes to who and how. To keep it real, unfortunately, not everyone in my immediate clan is financially savvy. They would definitely misuse any funds I provide, or make excuses as to why they no longer need to work. One close family member in particular has borrowed money from me here and there since I was 18-years-old… and never paid back a cent. I had to learn to love without attaching my wallet because my "bailouts" seemed to create more financial trouble and never taught them to do things on their own.
It's important to set some realistic guidelines when it comes to providing for your family and just how far you'd go. You have to ask yourself if the sacrifices you're making to bring in money helps or hinders their general well-being. If someone is bad with money, should you look for financial alternatives, like an IRA that will provide for them down the road? Cut them off entirely?
What would you do to provide for your family?

"What Temperature Do I Cook This On?" Questions We Still Ask Our Moms
Once upon a time, not too long ago, we thought we knew it all. Our parents were always around telling us what to do, and we all thought we could do it all by ourselves — until we moved out on our own. When we're no longer under the same roof as our mothers, we realize that maybe we're not quite as grown as we thought.
We may feel grown, but when it comes to mom, we're never too old to get a little advice. Whether you're 25 or 55, there are still some questions that only your mom has the right answer to. And thank goodness for Skype, cell phones, text messages, instant messenger and just showing up from time to time. Because we still have a million things we need to learn, and we need some advice, to touch base, and to know how long to cook this chicken because sometimes, our mothers do know best.
Medical Questions
What should I take for this? Is this normal? If I eat this expired chicken will I die? She's not still kissing boo-boos, but she's still doctor mom.
"Are You Saved?" When Your Boyfriend's Parents Are Devout Christians, But You're Not
When it comes to meeting the parents of someone you're dating, there is no such thing as being prepared. You can ask your significant other a million questions about family history, lifestyle, and essential facts, but you will never be prepared to actually meet and interact with them. All that you know is irrelevant. I was reminded of that when I met my boyfriend's parents for a nice Saturday brunch in Baltimore on a cold and dreary day.
Think back to when you were a teen, and you had your first boyfriend or girlfriend and the first thing you had to do was tell your parents…unless you were sneaky. You had to endure the chaperoned dates, family ogling over you two sitting in the living room watching TV because you weren't allowed to be in your room. Remember those days? Well, it's just a little different as adults. You're still ogled. But when you meet the parents, that's when you know it's serious. Therefore, the questions go beyond family history, lifestyle and essential facts. They get a bit deeper and are a lot more purposeful.
The day I met his parents, I was extremely nervous. I kept smiling and reassuring him that I was okay, telling him, "I'm usually good with parents." The food was good, the ambiance was lively, but after some jokes and laughter and the cliche introductory "So, how did you two meet?" questions, they turned up the heat a bit. Make that a lot.
I knew that my boyfriend was strong in his faith, but he also has a lot of open-minded, laid-back qualities. His parents are another story. I wasn't prepared for his parent's traditional ways. They are devout Christians who attend Sunday services all day, put on their Sunday best, love Tyler Perry, and don't play when it comes to their faith. In comparison, while I come from a similar type of family dynamic, I've since grown distant from the church. I wouldn't consider myself a practicing Christian as I don't attend services, and I haven't touched a Bible in years. That's why it was so awkward when his parents asked me repeatedly about my home church, who my pastor is, if my parents are saved, and if I'm saved. I couldn't lie, but I felt exposed in a way. My boyfriend knows my struggles with the faith, struggles I didn't necessarily want to share with his parents. But it brought me back to the idea that when you make a commitment to someone, you also are committing to their family in a way.
Soon after meeting mom and dad, I started getting offers to accompany his mother to church. I ended up at the mall in the MAC store getting the Sunday best makeup and in Nordstrom, LOFT, and Arden B holding piles of skirts, dresses and cardigans. It was all too overwhelming for me. Especially since I haven't gotten to a place in my life where I want to spend my Sundays in a church again. I've adopted the rest and relaxation rituals that come with Sundays. I enjoy my face masks in bed while watching shows on the DVR as my hair is deep conditioning. I have my own schedule to follow and stance on the church to keep in mind, but I don't want to make a bad impression.
So, while his parents seem to like me, I'm facing a dilemma: Should I oblige them by agreeing to go to church with them sometimes and take part in other traditional Christian things I no longer practice or enjoy?

Travel Trials: My Cousin Wants To Stay In My Hotel Room For Free
(As Relayed To Lauren R.D. Fox)
Last year, my cousin Anais sent out the save-the-dates for her wedding. Aside from detailing the time and date of the wedding, it also noted that she and her fiancé's were to be wed in Medellin, Colombia.
I, along, with our cousins were excited to celebrate the next stage of her life and immediately started planning our travel accommodations. As months inched towards her wedding date, we created a travel itinerary for ourselves so we could explore the Colombian city a few days before the wedding festivities began.
When we arrived in Colombia, I received a WhatsApp message from Tracy, a first, but distant, cousin of Anais and I. Although Tracy is the sweetest person you'll ever meet, she's a bit flighty and known to not be reliable. In her message, Tracy told me she's been backpacking throughout South America and made it to Medellin just in time to celebrate Anais' wedding.
Unfortunately, she didn't have a place to stay and wanted to know if she could stay with me. Tracy was also honest enough to tell me that she didn't have any money to contribute towards my hotel room. To earn money she sells jewelry and she'd spent the majority of her income traveling to the wedding.
Although I had more than enough room and Tracy is family, I didn't want her in my space. Tracy can be extremely disorganized and if she didn't have money for a hotel room, I knew I would (most likely) also have to pay for her to participate in our family tours, and maybe even eat. I don't want to leave my cousin stranded but I also don't think it's fair she put me in this situation?
Should I allow Tracy to stay with me or leave her stranded in Medellin?

Serious Question: If You Caught Your Sibling Cheating Would You Snitch?
Years ago, my now ex-boyfriend's sister reached out to me and told me that he had been cheating on me with a couple of other girls. She didn't really tell me anything that blew my mind, but she did confirm my suspicions while giving me the kick in the butt I needed to kick his butt to the curb.
A woman, who we'll call "Rachel," recently found herself in a similar predicament and turned to Reddit for advice. Rachel spotted her sister, Eleanor, in a coffee shop with a gentleman who was not Eleanor's husband of four years, John. The two were behaving quite inappropriately. This is particularly devastating to Rachel who was always felt that John and Eleanor were the "perfect couple," and now she's ready to drop dime to her brother-in-law.
Well, today I was out for an early stroll around town with my boyfriend. We stayed out for maybe 3 hours or so, before walking back to the parking lot. On the way back, I couldn't help noticing that my sister was sitting in the window of a coffee shop along the main street. I stopped us and I asked my boyfriend if we could sneak in to surprise her, since we hadn't seen her for a few weeks. He said yes, but then suddenly grabbed my hand just before I went to go to the door.
My boyfriend said "Wait… she's in there with a guy."
I was confused, and she hadn't noticed us so I just walked back around the corner, and then peered through the window again. Sure enough, she was seated opposite a man that was determinately not John. He had dark hair and he kept winking at her, holding her hand and bringing it up to his mouth to kiss it.
I was distraught. My boyfriend asked if I wanted to do anything, but I certainly wasn't going to march in there and make a scene in front of all the other customers, so we just left.
Rachel seems to be hoping that there's some sort of explanation for her sister's behavior. But no matter how you slice it, a married woman being smooched up by any man other than her husband is suspect as hell. She definitely wants to say something, but is wondering if she should give her sister a chance to explain herself before going to John.
Now, I'm wondering who to bring this up with first. I was thinking I should bring this up with Eleanor first and tell her I saw them, but I'm risking her either 1.) denying everything (most likely) or 2.) admitting everything and then telling me not to tell John. If she did that, I'd tell him anyway, because f-ck no am I keeping infidelity from a loving husband, but she'd most likely completely hate me for telling him and cut me out of her life.
Unlike my situation, Rachel's sister is married with a child, and clearly has a lot more to lose. When my ex's sister rang the alarm, I was able to make a clean break; however, this news could potentially break up a family. Rachel has found herself in quite the pickle.
Would you tell on a cheating sibling?

This luxurious high quality velvet comforter set is a stunning set on any bed. 3 decorative pillows included. Available in Burgundy, purple/plum, navy and black. Matching curtains available in our store.
"I love this site. Amazing products at an amazing value. If I had gone to a high-end store, would have paid 4-5 times higher and probably not including such things as the extra throw pillows. Great quality! My first set I ordered a few weeks ago had a test.....the cat threw up on it, lol, (furballs), and so, I pulled the king-sized spread off of the bed and spot cleaned it in the sink...Amazing, cleaned up beautifully, just like a high-quality product should."

Thanks for the kind comment. This is one of my earlier drawings. the shading has improved on my later ones.
This is brilliant, very nicely grounded, good transitions and a great solid look to the interior. The headlights could have done with a bit more detail and depth, but overall, an excellent piece!
Brilliant work!!
