No doubt about it; with regard to relationships, the holiday season can be a decidedly mixed blessing. On the one hand, we get to see friends and family that we missed over the past year and rekindle those bonds. On the other hand, the holiday season can also rekindle old animosities, brother/sister spats and a litany of other slights -- perceived or real -- that never got resolved in the first place. You don't really believe those sibling rivalries actually died when you left the sandbox or moved out, do you?
As a geriatrician, I get to see another stressful family byproduct of the holiday season (and the couple of months that follow as parents and adult children invariably assemble in my office): the realization that mom or dad may be "slowing down" in ways one or more siblings might not have recognized during the preceding year. This is especially true when folks live far apart from one another, and the holiday season brings them together in a kind of "freeze frame," that can be jarring if this is the first physical interaction you've had with a parent in the past year. Often those children who live close by (or with) an aging parent don't recognize concerning decline in their day to day interactions. In quiet whispers, the distant sibling contingent convenes in the holiday kitchen and express concern over "how old mom suddenly looks," or "how dad seems to have lost his memory or moves so slowly." Sometimes ire is directed at the live-in or nearby sibling for not communicating what's been happening over the past year, further stoking an already stressful family get together.
Typically, I see a slew of new patients in my office in January, whose families have brought them kicking and screaming for an evaluation based on the holiday "drive by." Since "tis is the season" for this phenomenon, I thought I'd offer a few thoughts on how to proceed not only medically with mom or dad, but also on how to preserve domestic tranquility if you find yourself involved in one of these holiday aging excursions:
- Remember that Mom or Dad is the (potential) patient, and that he or she has a right to privacy, dignity and autonomy. I'm sure you're all well meaning, but slinking around his or her back to arrange some kind of medical or social intervention will most certainly backfire, no matter how well intended. Calmly and lovingly explain your concerns to your parent, and ask them if they perceive any problem.
One last point here to my older readers. I hope I haven't offended you by arming your well meaning adult children with ammunition intended to assuage their anxiety while assisting you. I'm well aware that you're the patient, and you have a right to privacy and the prerogative to tell your meddling adult kid to take a hike. But let me add another perspective: I've cared for thousands of older people over my career that had very significant medical and social needs, many adult children, but none that would help them or even return my phone calls. So if your adult child is meddling in your life, I'd like to make the case that you must have done something right in raising them. Pat yourself on the back for some excellent parenting!
Happy Holidays to an Aging America.

I think the USA has moved away from rubber bullets, and replaced them with Bean bags. I think they have more knockdown power with less damage to the target. The main idea is to put down a riot without seriously hurting anyone. Those methods are used as a last resort. They are not used at all in peaceful demonstrations.

When the Northern Ireland troubles were at their peak in the 1970's & 1980's it was common knowledge that British troops used rubber bullets to disperse rioting people or large gatherings, not sure if they ever used gas canisters.
Northern Ireland is a province within Great Britain but republican organizations such as the IRA objected to the province being governed by the British government & wanted to be part of the Republic of Ireland.

We were very pleased with this hotel after staying during a recent vacation visit to Orlando. It has 2 pools, an outdoor bar and music outside with cabanas that you can rent. The pool area was our favorite part! Great for sunbathing and lazy days by the pool.
The lobby was updated a couple of years ago and has a nice contemporary feel. The rooms are clean, well kept, and have been updated as well. One tip. Some of the rooms have doors that have an outside entry, however, most enter from an interior hall. Something to consider if that's important to you.
The hotel is very close to Disney and there are plenty of restaurants and shopping close by. We happened to get a good rate off of Hotwire and felt this hotel was a very good value. They do have a resort fee, but that's fully disclosed. I think most people will enjoy their stay here.

Project Budget$30 - $250 USD
Total Bids15
Project Description
I have an e-commerce clothing store and I am wanting a table on my [url removed, login to view] page (not sure if this is the correct word I am looking for) which will allow my customers to purchase various sizes of a particular product all in one click. I will try and visually create the table I am looking for:
Color | XS | S | M | L | XL |
Above is a visual of the purchasing module table. Where the word "Color" is, I would want that to be a dropdown menu so that the customer can choose which color they would like. And under the sizes I would want input text boxes so that the customer can input their desired quantity for each size.
I have attached a jpg of the purchasing module I am describing. You can also see the exact purchasing module that I would want live at this link (just scroll down towards bottom of product info page): [url removed, login to view]
The best part is that I own the website at that link, so I already have the module installed on one of my sites. So you will have access to all of the pages in which the code was already written. I'm sure this should be very helpful.

Go Red for Women…Taking it Personally
In 2004, cardiovascular disease claimed the lives of nearly 500,000 women in the United States, annually…yet women were not paying attention. Many thought of heart disease as a risk specific to men and even dismissed it as an "older man's disease."
To begin to raise awareness of heart disease and its tremendous toll among women the American Heart Association (AHA) created Go Red For Women. The initiative is social, passionate and emotional, but is also designed to educate women and raise awareness of heart disease as the #1 killer of women. It challenges them to know their risk for heart disease and take action to take charge of their personal health.
Helping to lead the charge are Kathy and Jody Victor, IBOs living in Canton, Ohio. The Victors have been involved with and supporters of the American Heart Association for a number of years. In a recent article in an area Go Red publication about their work, Kathy explains: "We realized it was an incredibly worthy cause that was well worth our time and efforts." Jody serves on the American Heart Association board. Kathy's involvement is personal and significant. "I personally became involved with Circle of Red because of the history of heart disease within my own family. My father passed away at 75 from a massive heart attack. My mother has had numerous heart attacks, as well as triple bypass heart surgery and several stents. Both of my brothers have had heart attacks and either stents of a triple bypass. I am the only member of my immediate family who does not suffer from hert disease, although I do have hereditary high LDL levels of my cholesterol. So the mission of the American Heart Association is, indeed, very near and dear to my heart."
Kathy was recently recognized as a member of the Stark County, Ohio, Circle of Red, a distinction given to an elite group of women who have the influence and resources to significantly impact the community by making a personal commitment to help find a cure for heart disease.

In such an event, I will file a complaint with eBay.NOTE: After payment is received, I ship within 2 days. TIPS TO BUYING VINTAGE LIGHTS ON EBAY STYLE. People that own, for example, a Colonial-Revival style home will naturally want Colonial-Revival style vintage fixtures. But a great many pre-WWII homes originally had fixtures quite different than one would imagine. I've been in classic bungalows with original Art Deco fixtures, and recently I toured a Foursquare with original Spanish-Revival lights. All these fixtures looked very well. I always recommend that people buy what they love no matter the style of their home. My last home was a large 1915 Colonial-Revival. I filled it full of 1950s fixtures. It worked. The fixtures gave the classic house an unexpected zest. It was also common for people to update their homes by changing all the lights. So, your 1905 home may well have had all the lights replaced in the 1920s or 1930s. If you had these lights in place you wouldn't dream of taking them out. So, buy what you love. Just make sure the scale is right. RESALE VALUE. Recently a buyer contacted me. They restored a wonderful old home. All the original lights were long gone and they purchased very nice new fixtures in an old style. When they tried to sell the house there was no interest. For six months. The market is lousy of course but the realtor said that several potential buyers wished the house still retained its original fixtures. That is when they contacted me. Because I specialize in whole house sets, I was able to supply a matched set of fixtures for every room. The buyers were flabbergasted at the difference. They had an open house. The house sold ASAP. For above the asking price. "Best investment we ever made," they gleefully reported. I do love a happy ending. Why a BUY IT NOW instead of a regular auction? All my listings are for a BUY IT NOW. I do this because it's effortless for me and you. There's no guessing with my lights. You know right away if one of my restored fixtures is right for your budget. Another good thing? You can also, well, buy it. Now. No waiting. No worry that you will lose after waiting quite patiently for X days. No worry that a Them will abscond with Your light in the last four seconds; the light you have your heart set on. The light. The perfect light. There are likely worse things in life but at the moment I can't think of one.

Temple University Legal Studies Research Paper No. 2015-26
This paper reports the results of a study on whether political predispositions influence judicial decisionmaking. The study was designed to overcome the two principal limitations on existing empirical studies that purport to find such an influence: the use of nonexperimental methods to assess the decisions of actual judges; and the failure to use actual judges in ideologically-biased-reasoning experiments. The study involved a sample of sitting judges (n = 253), who, like members of a general public sample (n = 800), were culturally polarized on climate change, marijuana legalization and other contested issues. When the study subjects were assigned to analyze statutory interpretation problems, however, only the responses of the general-public subjects and not those of the judges varied in patterns that reflected the subjects' cultural values. The responses of a sample of lawyers (n = 217) were also uninfluenced by their cultural values; the responses of a sample of law students (n = 284), in contrast, displayed a level of cultural bias only modestly less pronounced than that observed in the general-public sample. Among the competing hypotheses tested in the study, the results most supported the position that professional judgment imparted by legal training and experience confers resistance to identity-protective cognition — a dynamic associated with politically biased information processing generally — but only for decisions that involve legal reasoning. The scholarly and practical implications of the findings are discussed.

GM Executive Doesn't Sound Very Worried About Subprime Auto Loans
On GM's earnings call about a week and a half ago, Bank of America Merrill Lynch analyst John Murphy asked GM CFO Chuck Stevens about GMF's subprime exposure. This was obviously before the Justice Department started sending out subpoenas, but Stevens sounded unworried in his response.
Here's the exchange, courtesy of the Seeking Alpha transcript of the call:
Murphy: There's obviously a great debate in the markets right now of subprime being overheated for auto lending. It doesn't necessarily appear that way to us. I was just curious if you could comment on sort of your exposure to subprime, what you think of it right now, and is it more of an issue or an opportunity?
Stevens: That's a good question. It's been interesting, our share of sub-prime actually has come down because for a while there was a competitive move into sub-prime so it was being reasonably well served, it looked like in the second quarter that there was a back off from that a little bit perhaps because of the exposures. Let's just say that AmeriCredit, now GM Financial, are experts in sub-prime, they never lost money during the downturn in 2008-2009, they know how to manage and score these customers. And I think [they] manage an appropriate level of risk associated with subprime, and again, as they expand our overall product offering. So we feel that that's a very, very well managed segment of their business.
What catches the eye about the Justice Department action is that it requests documents back to 2007, more than year prior to GM's bailout and bankruptcy.
What's also interesting is that GM auto financing was in an odd place in 2007. The carmaker's longtime lending arm, GMAC, had been broken up into pieces and sold off, although GM still retained a chunk.
GM Financial, meanwhile, didn't actually exist. As Stevens noted in his reply to Murphy, the company was then operating as a different entity. GM bought AmeriCredit in 2010, to access subprime borrowers as the U.S. auto market recovered, and later changed the company's name.
But last year, GMF trimmed back its subprime business to focus more on prime borrowers, according to Automotive News' Jim Henry .
We'll keep tabs on this one. It's a more potentially negative news for GM, in the wake of a massive recall and, this past weekend, a deadly accident at one of the company's suppliers in China .

Psalm 52The Voice (VOICE)
Psalm 52
For the worship leader. A contemplative song[a] of David when the Edomite Doeg told Saul that David had received help from Ahimelech.
Psalm 52 recalls the callous way Doeg and Saul put to death the 85 priests of Nob (1 Samuel 22:6–19). The psalm ends with a memorable image: the one who keeps faith with God is like a lush olive tree cared for in His garden. While those who do not trust in Him are snatched up and torn away, those who do right will flourish under His care.
1 Why do you boast of all the trouble you stir up, O mighty one,
4 You love words that destroy people, don't you,
5 You won't be smiling
6 Those who are just will see what happens to you and be afraid.
8 But my life is abundant—like a lush olive tree

Apart from being a famous country singer, Blake Shelton also appears to be an amazing man!
Recently, a man from Oklahoma Roho Hartman was going home when suddenly he found himself in a river. As a result of Tropical Storm Bill, almost all roads on his way were flooded and turned into rivers.
In his interview, Hartman told that he saw a car in front of him that passed through the watery road without any difficulties so he assumed he would do that as well. But, unfortunately, his truck didn't manage to drive through so Roho, along with another person, was forced to push the truck up a hill.
Right after that, a man with a tow rope in Dodge offered a help. He asked Hartman whether he was ready. After realizing the man appeared to be Blake Shelton, Roho answered: "Yeah! I'm ready!'"
A 39-year-old The voice coach didn't leave after helping the man. Shelton also gave Roho a ride home. During the ride Hartman's wife called and he was pretty happy to share latest news with her.
Blake Shelton pulled me out and he's gonna bring me on home! You better … you better slick up!'
Hartman said that Blake was a really nice man, he liked Shelton.
