A new final rule (the "Final Rule") from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and the Office for Civil Rights (collectively, the "Agencies") gives patients and their personal representatives the right to request and be granted access to test results directly from laboratory companies. The change comes by way of the Agencies' amendment of the regulations implementing the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments of 1988 ("CLIA") and amendment of the regulations implementing the Health Insurance and Portability Act ("HIPAA"). Laboratories subject to CLIA can now give patients and their personal representatives copies of completed test reports. The FInal Rule also does away with the exception under HIPAA that insulated CLIA-certified laboratories and CLIA-exempted laboratories from provisions of HIPAA that provide individuals with the right of access to their protected health information. This marks a shift from past practice where results would go to the doctor, who would then pass them on to the patient or the patient's personal representative (defined generally as a person authorized to act on behalf of the patient in making health care decisions). The Final Rule allows laboratories to give direct access to test results under CLIA and does away with the exception under HIPAA.
What does this mean for patients and their personal representatives? According to the Agencies, the Final Rule provides "individuals with a greater ability to access their health information, empowering them to take a more active role in managing their health and health care." Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services ("HHS") Kathleen Sebelius stated, "[i]nformation like lab results can empower patients to track their health progress, make decisions with their health care professionals, and adhere to important treatment plans." According to an HHS press release, once a patient or a personal representative makes a request for laboratory results, copies of the results must be given to the patient or representative within 30 days. Additionally, "the patient or the personal representative may have to put their request in writing and pay for the cost of copying, mailing, or electronic media on which the information is provided, such as a CD or flash drive."
During the comment period preceding publication of the Final Rule, many commenters voiced concerns that providing unfettered access to laboratory results to patients and their personal representatives would lead to confusion. Without the aid of explanation from their health care providers, patients and their personal representatives might be provided with results that they would misinterpret or not be able to interpret at all. The Agencies responded that the Final Rule "will further encourage ordering and treating providers to more proactively discuss with patients the range of possible test results and what the results may mean for the particular patient before or at the time the test is ordered." The Agencies have also indicated that 30 day period in which to provide the results to patients or their representatives will be sufficient for the "ordering or treating provider to receive the test report in advance of the patient's receipt of the report, and to communicate the result to the patient, and counsel the patient as necessary with regard to the result."
The Final Rule follows the trend of ensuring more patient access to records and participation in the management of the patient's own health care—a trend that has largely been facilitated by the rise of electronic health records and new health care technologies.
The Health Law Gurus™ will continue to follow issues regarding individuals' rights to access their medical records and participate in their own health care decisions.

Fried tilapia is amazing,barbeque is good but really the tilapia is truly amazing!!! Sides are all good, try them all
First time visit. Walked in and we were greeted like family. We were there at happy hour, they have free fried pork skins. I thought it would be a couple of bites. Oh no, that is not how they treat family. It was a big platter that continued to pop and sizzle for a good five minutes and they were... More
Excellent bbq ribs priced average for everyone . Tender finished on the grill in store with the best sauce ever. Always very lean and more than I could eat every time I go I have tried all the sides and approve all. The desserts need improvement. the pies leave something to be desired. The staff are very friendly and will... More
We had Lefty's cater our company bbq in July. It was beyond hot that day but the servers did the best they could with the day and kept the food coming and the ice flowing. Food was great (we had pork ribs, smoked chicken, mac and cheese, collard greens, sweet potatoes, coleslaw, lemonade, tea and cupcakes). Plentiful -- enough for... More
Went back here for the first time in years, so glad to see, and taste that lefty's is STILL #1! Great, tender, smoky sweet BBQ!killer sides!
After being closed well over two years due to a fire, Lefty's catered our annual Community Day. The turkey burgers were the best I have seen at a restaurant in a long time. The display made the food even more inviting. The side items and condiments were all set up with care. The food was delicious and plentiful.
My overall experience with Lefty' catering my family event was outstanding. This started with the delivery and setup to the food; everything was great. John provided excellent setup service and a family member who is a retired caterer commented on the great setup. Everyone wanted to know who did the food because it was so good. Thank you LaTanya, John... More
Took my wife and grandma out for Sunday dinner. What amazing food we all had the BBQ is the best I have ever had. Brisket is a home run and there sides and just like you grandma made. Service is exelent and a great atmosphere. They really make you feel like family.
We thoroughly enjoyed our meal at Lefty's--delicious tilapia and mac n' cheese, coleslaw. However, check your bill before you leave; we didn't realized later that we were overcharged. Don't let this keep you from trying Lefty's, just be sure to check your bill.

Jim Collins is the Drucker of the last few decades, helping to create not only models that work to help create and sustain excellence as an organisation, but also shared language among business leaders that accelerates the ability to work effectively together. "Great by choice" ads to this common concept vocabulary with memorable and effective concepts such as the "20 mile march" and "10xers" (companies that consistently delivered 10x their peers' performance while being in the same industry and seeing the same opportunities).
In this world of constant change and uncertainty, Collins and Hansen show how 10Xers both accept that they are not in control, yet refuse to accept that this means that their success is a product of chance.
Based on Collins' research, 10Xers focus triad of core behaviours: fanatic discipline, empirical creativity and productive paranoia. Each one of these is explained in detail in the book, and there are many other great strategies covered.
If you are curious as to why do some companies thrive in uncertainty and chaos, and more importantly, how can your organisation do so too, get this business leadership #mustread.

Summary | Excerpt | Reading Guide | Reviews | Beyond the book | Readalikes | Genres & Themes | Author Bio
I work in a bookstore. I say this first because I think it's important for the reader to know where I'm coming from: I talk about books all day; customers count on employees to know their stuff and to be able to engage with them about what's new and good. Most often, I talk with them about books I've never read (you can't read them all), relying on hearsay and reviews to educate me on the finer points of a book's readability. And sometimes, I just wing it.
One of the novels I sold most this holiday season, and one of the books that's sparked the greatest amount of water cooler talk around the store, is the 2011 Man Booker Award winner, Julian Barnes's The Sense of An Ending. It's a slim novel, 176 pages in length, and I read it in one sitting. Yet oddly, I have a harder time talking about it than I do books I haven't read, or books I've enjoyed less.

Outside the HuffPost offices, snow is falling once again. Far from the disruptive fury of last week's Snowpocalypse, this is a gentle sprinkling.
The kind of wintry, contemplative weather, that brings a tune to mind.
"Inexplicably," wrote @Jackorama on Twitter, "I got this song stuck in my head while clearing snow off the front walk" -- RATT's "Round and Round" -- "Wish I could 'tell you why...,'" he wrote.
Tweeted @MiraBee: "this is the perfect song for this snow and foolishness outside right now": Bruno Mars' "The Lazy Song."
Personally, I've been playing The National's "Mr. November." Wrong month, but right mood.

The room was packed full with cameras far before the morning's star entered. In a box sat a stack of 80-page books. Reporters and City Hall staff members reached for copies.
This was what leadership finally looked like for San Diego City Councilman Carl DeMaio. Five years ago, he appeared as an outsider to praise and then savage the city's financial management — after it became clear the city's financial management wasn't praiseworthy. Two years ago, he was elected to City Council and became its most conservative Republican. Less than a week ago, Proposition D, a financial recovery plan promoted by Mayor Jerry Sanders, City Council, business and labor leaders, failed spectacularly at the ballot box.
Now it's DeMaio's turn. He was Prop. D's leading opponent and City Council's most consistent contrarian. Friday morning, with his own financial recovery plan in tow, he claimed a mandate for his pension-slashing, union-busting version of budget reform.

ShoreTel Rolls Out Connect Common UC Platform
After more than two years of development and planning, the company releases the technology that will offer businesses a single user interface.ShoreTel for the past three years has been developing a common platform for its on-premises and cloud-based unified communications products. Company executives have been talking about the offering for almost two years, and earlier this year at its user conference introduced attendees to the platform, called ShoreTel Connect. After more than 12 months of meeting with customers and working both with employees and outside partners to prepare them for ShoreTel Connect, the vendor is ready to roll out the common platform and user interface. ShoreTel announced the platform Aug. 18, a move that not only brings such capabilities to a unified communications (UC) market that is in transition, but also one that company officials said marks the "coming out party for the new ShoreTel." "We're here," Chief Marketing Officer Mark Roberts told eWEEK. "This is our time. … We're now at that 'when' phase [with the common platform]." ShoreTel started down this road in 2012, when it bought M5 Networks for $146 million, a move that brought in cloud-based collaboration capabilities to complement on-premises UC products the company had built its business upon. It opened the vendor to new markets and enabled it to address changes in a communications space that is still being pressured by such trends as the proliferation of mobile devices and bring-your-own-device (BYOD) practices, and where businesses increasingly are looking for cloud-based solutions.
It also opened up new avenues for ShoreTel to generate more recurring revenues by delivering its services via the cloud.

John Clayton beat me to Anderson, Ind., to look in on the Indianapolis Colts, and offered his five observations.
Some highlights from Clayon's observations.
"(Andrew) Luck is as billed. He has the look of being the most complete quarterback talent to enter in the NFL in decades." Clayton can see Luck approaching 4,000 yards. If Luck averages out to 250 passing yards a game, that would mean a pretty solid rookie season. Clayton likes speedy Donnie Avery as a potential break through receiver for Luck.
"(Dwight) Freeney and (Robert) Mathis have a great chance to pick up sacks at Lucas Oil Stadium. The crowd can be loud, and the home schedule features a slew of young quarterbacks -- Christian Ponder, Blaine Gabbert, Brandon Weeden, possibly Jake Locker and maybe Ryan Tannehill late in the season.
Tight end Dwayne Allen has "a little bit of a Jermichael Finley look to him."
I drive to Anderson Sunday, and before the end of today I'll be piecing together a list of guys I hope to talk to while I'm up there.

It's a case of TMI on live TV. On Thursday's (Jan. 27) NBA pre-game show on TNT, Tracy Morgan weighed in with his thoughts on Sarah Palin with his usual eloquence. But we're thinking maybe the "30 Rock" star — notorious for his raunchy quotables — should've kept this one to himself.
"Sarah Palin's good looking, isn't she?" asked host Charles Barkley, who may be partially to blame for totally queing this one up for Morgan.
"Oh yeah, absolutely," replied Morgan. Then, after a beat, he added, "Yo, let me tell you something about Sarah Palin. She's good masturbation material."
In an October 2010 interview with Zap2it, Morgan said, "I love fornication. That is a beautiful word, 'fornication.' I don't understand why people try to put a cloud over it. It's so wrong."

It's a guide to how wacky my constituency Labour party is that when an activist got head-butted outside the selection meeting to choose a new Parliamentary candidate last week, the assault turned out to be a tiff over housing policy between socialist comrades.
But the scenes that followed this red-on-red clash inside the hustings should act as a clear warning to Ed Miliband – the Labour leader is facing a nationwide nutting from his self-indulgent foot-soldiers if he fails to make his party swallow some tough medicine on the road to electability.
Labour's candidate selections for 2015 have already been marred by scandal over the Unite union's heavy-handed attempts to install placement loyal to Len McCluskey.
But the union boss didn't need to pack the meeting to choose a successor to Glenda Jackson in the acutely-marginal Hampstead and Kilburn seat.
All three candidates, chosen from an all-women shortlist, proudly proclaimed their membership of the all-powerful Unite.
Members were told not to Tweet any nuggets from the candidates' grilling which might give ammunition to Labour's enemies, in a seat which the retiring former Oscar-winner clung on to in 2012 with a wafer-thin 42 majority.
It became just clear why when the candidates were asked their view on Ed Balls' tactical announcement that Labour will go into the 2015 election pledging to match George Osborne's departmental spending limits.
The answer should be obvious. Like it or not comrades, voters believed the last Labour government spent like there was no tomorrow.
An essential step to winning back economic credibility is for the Shadow Chancellor to talk tough about imposing "iron discipline" on his colleagues and to keep telling voters that the deficit will not balloon once again if Labour is once again entrusted with power. Every opinion poll tells the same story.
But no. Tulip Siddiq, a rising young Labour star, who was endorsed by Neil Kinnock and made a left-wing pitch for the seat, asked: "What is the difference between Labour and Tory if we match their spending pledges? It's a myth that Labour created this mess."
The deafening applause from the party faithful confirmed that, from this moment on, Ms Siddiq was a shoo-in for the seat – even if she were to answer a question on border controls by dividing "good" immigrants, who work hard and pay taxes, from "bad" immigrants, who try to kill you, a distinction previously only championed by Sun columnist Trevor Kavanagh – which she did.
It wasn't just Ms Siddiq. Her rivals, otherwise sensible folk, tasked with dispersing public money wisely as elected councillors, also fished for applause by condemning Balls as a traitor for attempting to anchor Labour in some sort of voter-friendly reality.
The danger for Labour is that, in selection meetings across Britain, the buttons are bursting off Ed Balls' hairshirt.
Party members, finally freed from their Blairite shackles, are cheering to the rafters parliamentary candidates who promise a return to Labour's comfort zone of well-meaning but unelectable commitments.
On issues ranging from education to health and welfare, the Hampstead and Kilburn candidates jettisoned carefully-nuanced shadow cabinet policy statements to win plaudits for positions which brooked no compromise with the pesky electorate outside of the Mazenod Social Club's socialist utopia.
It's fine for Ed Miliband to appeal for more trade unionists to affiliate their membership directly to Labour. He might attempt to extend Labour's appeal to those who aren't card-carrying unionists, since a Labour membership extending beyond public sector workers and the retired is more likely to replicate the broad coalition which won a hat-trick of victories under Tony Blair.
But does the putative Prime Minister have the courage to face down his unreconstructed party members and ask them, as the polls narrow, deep down, in their heart of hearts, do they really want to win?
Does beating the Conservatives and the Lib Dems at the election come a poor second to the real motivating force behind last week's north-west London selection – defeating the tattered standard of Blairism and burying New Labour with its grubby, compromised election victories?
Because if winning elections is no longer where it's at, then the far-left Oz of the People's Assembly awaits, where Hampstead and Kilburn's Labour members can head-butt each other into oblivion.

The Rode iXY Stereo Mic with Senal SMH-1200 Enhanced Studio Monitor Headphones Kit from B&H is designed for portable audio recording applications using a Lightning connector iOS device such as an iPhone. It can be used for recording music, interviews, and more.
The iXY microphone features a metal housing to help reduce electromagnetic interference around two condenser microphone elements. They are positioned in an XY configuration and an integrated iClamp secures the microphone to your mobile device.
The nautical blue Senal SHM-1200 headphones use 40mm Neodymium drivers and deliver a wide frequency response of 10 Hz to 20 kHz with minimal distortion. There is a slightly boosted low end for well-defined bass and sub-bass, and it offers a smooth and pronounced midrange and a clear intelligible high end.
The lightning connector version of the RØDE iXY Stereo Microphone is designed for portable audio recording applications using a Lightning connector iOS device (e.g. iPhone 5/s/c). It can be used for recording music, interviews, sound design, film-making, and more. The device features a metal housing to help reduce electromagnetic interference around two condenser microphone elements positioned in an XY configuration and an integrated iClamp for securing the microphone to your mobile device. The unit can records at up to 24-bit 96 kHz resolution using the RØDE Rec App, available from the Apple iTunes App store. A 72 Hz high pass filter can be engaged in software to reduce unwanted low frequency noise.
The nautical blue version of the SMH-1200 Enhanced Studio Monitor Headphones from Senal is tuned for accurate music reproduction and studio monitoring. With a closed-back, over-the-ear, foldable design and features like interchangeable twist-locking cables, extra deep ear cushions, and a refined musical frequency response, the SMH-1200s are suitable for both audio professionals and enthusiasts.
Using 40mm Neodymium drivers, the headphones deliver a wide frequency response of 10 to 20,000 Hz with minimal distortion, a slightly boosted low end for well-defined bass and sub-bass, a smooth and pronounced midrange, and a clear intelligible high end. The extra deep ear pads provide comfort while wearing the headphones for extended listening sessions and help passively isolate the sound from external noise.
Physically the SMH-1200s are designed to be robust and appropriate for use with professional audio equipment such as mixing consoles and headphone amplifiers. Their 58-ohm impedance can also operate with lower-power devices such as smart phones or mp3 players for mobile listening. Color-matched elements combine for an elegant look.
They come with two twist-lock detachable cables that can be easily swapped depending on the application. The coiled cable can extend from 4 to 10 feet and is intended for studio use. The 4-foot, tangle-free, fabric cable includes an in-line microphone for phone calls and a control button for operating smart phones and other mobile devices. A wide range of accessories is supported.
To ensure years of reliable operation, the earcups feature wire guides to protect the cabling and maintain the performance of the SMH-1200.
Note: Due to variations in cell phone manufacturing, the included mobile cable may not work on all models of cell phones. For full functionality on Android phones, a third-party app such as Headset Button Controller may be required.

Second FSA consultation paper on transposing the AIFMD - .PDF file.
On 19 March 2013, the FSA (now the FCA) published its second consultation paper on transposing the Alternative Investment Fund Managers Directive (AIFMD) into UK law (CP2). While the FSA has not been able to cover all the items it said it would in the first consultation paper, CP2 does offer some more guidance, which firms will find useful in getting AIFMD ready. Some of the key points are:
- Additional guidance on what an Alternative Investment Fund (AIF) is, what is likely to be excluded and how you determine whether your funds are caught or not. If you do not read anything else, read the draft handbook text for the PERG sourcebook.
- Helpful Q&As on joint ventures, REITs, co-investment vehicles, carry vehicles, defined investment policies and much more.
- Details on how marketing under the AIFMD will interact with the financial promotion regime, including a statement that communications on the basis of draft documents will not be considered by the FCA as marketing under the AIFMD.
- Additional measures on how other FCA rules will apply to alternative investment fund managers (AIFMs) and depositaries and the fees applicable to firms…

day 2311: halloween 2010 - odin The Very Ferocious Bear. I.
this halloween odin wanted to be a Very Ferocious Bear who, apparently, wears rainboots.
kris did a fine job whipping up an intimidating costume for him, although i kept slipping up and telling him how cute he looked and he kept reminding me how ferocious he was.
we started the evening by attending a fun production of the lion, the witch and the wardobe at a local park but i was dressed as tall, dark, creepy, black caped and hooded alien without a face and just a hint of the angel of death costume which did a good job of unnerving adults & children but made taking photos impossible.
i did manage to get a cute photo of odin The Very Ferocious Bear and a Princess friend before donning my mask.

The past is a ghost, the future a dream. All we ever have is now.
Bill Cosby
I don't know if I'm truly evil. I honestly don't. Can you truly be evil if you have your own set of morals for yourself? All my life, I've wondered this. I hate, oh man do I hate. But I don't let myself generalise. I can't say I hold balance, either, and it scares me that I hold nothing more than even passing affection to my family.
Every day I find it harder and harder to get out of my bed, to actually see that whilst yesterday was the same as the past five, today will be the change. Today, I will finally be able to show the world who, no, what I truly am.
A monster hiding under an introvert's skin, underestimated and bound because of the restraint I place on myself, holding in years of rage, an everyday struggle not to simply release it on people who don't deserve it.
If I am given a chance and the push I need, I can, no I will, change.
I know that, if ninety-nine percent of the time it stays the same, there is that one percent where it will change. Where I will change. Where I will gain the friendship I want, the companions I desire.
That is what I live for. That is what drives me.

The cabin was more than we expected. It was so lovely and provided everything we needed. The setting and view was nice. We did believe there would be a grill to cook out on but there wasn't. The kitchen was fully stocked though. Will definite return!

We loved this Cabin, so cozy! The gas logs were all we needed to keep warm, the beds were extremely comfortable down to the pull out sofa. Great space for a little family like us to just enjoy a weekend away from home with our son! It was very quite outside so we spent a lot of time at the fire pit down off the porch onto the deck where my boyfriend asked me to be his wife with a beautiful diamond ring! My son said it was the "bestest"vacation ever! Thanks for allowing us to stay in your cabin.

The rental process for Tranquility went smoothly. Actually the entire process, from renting, to checking in, to checking out went smoothly. Cheryl, that I spoke to whenever I needed any information, was very helpful and very pleasant! Our cabin was beautiful. Very clean, and well maintained.Very private and peaceful. I lost my mother 2 weeks before my vacation, so arriving at such a beautiful and relaxing atmosphere was wonderful! Everything that we needed was there, from the pots and pans, to ice in the door of the fridge! The bedrooms were beautiful and very relaxing. I would recommend your cabins to anyone! I will definitly be using your company again! Thank you so much for adding to my wonderful memories! And for making our stay pleasant and enjoyable!

This cabin is very secluded and private... My wife and I stay in Gatlinburg the same time every year this cabin is a little bit too far from town but it's worth it... No neighbors!!! Very private and clean. We truly enjoyed this cabin far beyond any other cabins we rented. The beds were like heaven very nice and clean. It's a little cabin but perfect for a private get away!!! It's the best experience we've had once we accepted the ride to town was just simply a fact. But hey we went to get away and in the end it was exactly what we were in need of!!! Loved our experience.

God our Redeemer, who prepared the blessed Virgin Mary to be the mother of Your Son: Grant that, as she looked for His coming as our Savior, so we may be ready to greet Him when He comes again as our Judge; who is alive and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever.
3rd Sunday of Advent, 13 December: Zephaniah 3:14-18a; Isaiah 12:2-6; Philippians 4:4-7; Luke 3:10-18 ~ Cheer up! He's living among us.
Traditionally, today is called Gaudete Sunday, which means 'a day for rejoicing.' The reason for celebration is that the day of the Lord's coming is nearer.
2nd Sunday of Advent, 06 December: Baruch 5:1-9; Psalm 126:1-6; Philippians 1:4-6, 8-11; Luke 3:1-6 ~ make a pathway for joy
God of our salvation, You straighten the winding ways of our hearts and smooth the paths made rough by sin. Make our conduct blameless, keep our hearts watchful in holiness, and bring to perfection the good You have begun in us. We ask this through Him whose coming is certain, whose day draws near: Your Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, who lives and reigns with You in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God for ever and ever.
Advent Daily Prayer: 02 December – Genesis 6-7; Romans 5:8-9 ~ walk with me
In Your presence Lord, there is peace, there is rest | In Your presence Lord, there is life that never ends | In Your presence Lord, there is joy, there is joy | In Your presence Lord, there is life that never ends
Advent Daily Prayer: 30 November – Genesis 1:27-28; Genesis 2:16-17; Jeremiah 33:19-22 ~ the promise-keeping God
Gracious God: Your Word is sure and true; You always keep Your promises. Prepare me – heart, mind, and spirit – to renew and refresh my relationship with You during this Advent season.

We praise You, O Lord, with voice and mind and deed; and since life itself is Your gift, may all we have and all we are be Yours. Lord bless us, and keep us from all evil, and bring us to everlasting life. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, Your Son, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.
#Just Pray ~ and give thanks!
Does this offend you? The Lord's Prayer ad is banned from cinemas in case it upsets people.
The Church of England has said it is "disappointed and bewildered" by the refusal of leading UK cinemas to show an advert featuring the Lord's Prayer.
The Church called the decision "plain silly" and warned it could have a "chilling" effect on free speech.
It had hoped the 60-second film would be screened UK-wide before Christmas ahead of the new Star Wars film.

It is time for this old 'Blue nose,' to snuggle warmly into bed,
What's in my head is in my heart, demanding to be logged,
There was a time when Sunday morn, you couldn't find a soul,
It wasn't really long ago, that Jesus loved children, we surely knew.
After Church, the swimming pit, or sled ride down a hill we knew,
Our lives revolved around growing up, God and Country, to be true,
Today, we know you're coming soon, riding on a big white horse,
There are so many faithful, who love you through and through,
Your prophecy does tell us, Tribulation takes seven year,
Some folk feel that you did say, the Believer won't be tested,
The end of Tribulation, will find at Armageddon's end,
Ten Centuries, you'll rule on earth, over those of Tribulation who survive,
A Thousand years, of near no death, population sure does soar,
Harmony, of character, and peaceful living, bothers many of mortality,
All of those who turn from you, condemns self to where they go,
So, those of us, who be part of you, must search both high and low,
Each one of us is part of you, the Bride-groom, we be Bride,
So, now we need be Watching, lamp filled and trimmed to see,

Your never ending dedication to your faith is admired by all of us.
To say thanks for being an inspiration for all, I have include a short story of mine for your personal enjoyment. It is not faith based but it should put a smile on your face anyway.
Take care of yourself.
The dictionary defines a procrastinator as someone who continually postpones doing something. A conundrum is defined as something that is puzzling or confusing. This story is about how being a procrastinator can sometimes produce unintended and often puzzling results.
I come from a long line of procrastinators when it comes to throwing anything of value away, and apparently those traits rubbed off on me also. I am not ashamed of having this common affliction, just puzzled why it seems to drive some folks up the wall. My Grandfather and Father had attained "Master Procrastinator" status in their lifetime, and it appears it won't be long before I get nominated to join that elite club.
My Dad was well known for bringing more junk home from the dump than he had taken there to get rid of. This is one of the most advanced forms of procrastination because it involves an exchange of items based on their perceived value. If the value of the item to be thrown away is great enough, then it is normally acceptable for practicing procrastinators to replace that item with more items of lesser value. The more items in the procrastinators hope chest, the greater the odds that the saved items will someday be of use or great value. How could anyone possibly argue with that logic?
My Mother having been around procrastinators most of her life, had developed her own system of working within the logical constraints of a procrastinators mind. Her methods of executing this system often came into question, and sometimes she was accused of outright manipulation, which she always denied.
Lawn mowers and mower parts were one item that my Dad refused to get rid of. There was always an abundant assortment of mowers in different phases of salvage behind the storage shed in the back yard. Most were missing motor parts, wheels, control levers, etc. Needless to say, we always had the honor of owning the most unique looking mower in the neighborhood.
One year Sears came out with a front drive mower model and Bruce, the neighbor across the street purchased one. My Dad was very impressed with this mower because the drive mechanism that powered the front wheels did not have to be disengaged when making a turn. You simply had to lift the front wheels off the ground while turning and then lower the mower to continue cutting. My Mother recognized an opportunity here and set a plan in motion.
Knowing that the local paper always carried a Sears Flier in the weekend addition, she made sure the Flier was sitting on top of the paper pile when Dad sat down to read the paper Sunday morning. After a few minutes of Dad thumbing through the flier, Mom casually mentioned that Sears sure had some good sales going on right now. Without looking up from the Flier Dad said I don't know if that's true, they have the same model mower here in the Flier that Bruce purchased and it seems a little expensive to me.
Mom had already done her research on mowers and knew that there were always ads in the classified section by people wanting to buy used mowers and parts, so she asked Dad how much do you think you could get out of the old mower and all the extra parts? Dad thought for a minute and finally said I think we would be lucky if we could get seventy five dollars for the whole works. Mom then said - well that would be great if we could get that much, the new mower wouldn't seem so expensive then. The trap was now set. The only way Dad could ever get the mower he wanted was if he sold the old mower and parts to help pay for it -- which he reluctantly did. -- Mission Accomplished -.
My wife uses a more direct approach when dealing with my procrastination of getting rid of things I don't use anymore. I don't recall exactly how many times she asked me to do something with the clothes in the closet that I never wear anymore. For quite a while I was able to put off addressing this issue by saying I had planned to lose a few pounds and those clothes would sure come in handy then.
One year my wife made quilts for all the kids and grandkids. About a month before Christmas I was helping her fold the quits in preparation for shipping when I noticed some of the fabric she had used for the quilt squares, looked almost identical to an old flannel shirt of mine hanging in the closet. -- Mission Accomplished -.
I think my wife knew I would probably recognize the fabric source and she was waiting to see what my reaction would be. I just looked at her with a big smile and said -- sure glad we hung on to all those old clothes, aren't you?

Boy, do I resemble them guys,,whooooo-eeeee!!! with a twist, but,,,,still, Procrastinator, be me.
I own so much 'junk,' my new stuff has to sit in the yard, waiting for a chance to move into shelter. Ha. Hey, the 'old' stuff needs a warm place more than the new, young, stuff.
Thanks for your fine compliments. They do help keep my vigor vigging, and my optimism opting.
I have a feeling, I will be one of those, very confused, once we graduate to Heaven. If nothing ever wears out, the word 'junk' won't have a home there. Couple that with never needing 'things,' we of the Procrastinator ilk will need be retrained. Ha.
Happy Trails, and Keep the Watch. He is coming soon.

Faced with an unplanned pregnancy, a young woman makes an unusual decision regarding her unborn child...
Margaret: David:
Rated M
Review by Margaret Pomeranz
JUNO is the second feature from director Jason Reitman after Thank You For Smoking. Its based on a very original screenplay by Diablo Cody, a pseudonym for Brook Busey-Hunt who established herself as a writer on her blog.
Juno is a 16-year-old high school student, played by ELLEN PAGE who was impressive in David Slades Hard Candy. Juno finds herself pregnant to fellow student Paulie Bleeker, (MICHAEL CERA). After deciding to keep the baby Juno sets out to find suitable adoptive parents.
The smart, sassy Juno is a gorgeous creation, as are all the characters in the film, Junos fabulous father, (J. K. SIMMONS) and non-judgemental stepmother, (ALISON JANNEY) as well as Paulie, whos beautifully brought to life by MICHAEL CERA).
Jason Reitman has picked a winner screenplay here and cast it so well, its bound to appeal to younger hip audiences. If I have qualms about the film its that Juno is just slightly too smart and sassy to be credible, particularly at the beginning of the film, but as played by the delightful Ellen Page, she soon won me over.
Further comments
MARGARET: David?
DAVID: Oh, she won me over, too. I didnt find it too sassy or smart. And I think Ellen Page is an extraordinary find really. In HARD CANDY she was so good and in this shes very good too.
MARGARET: Yeah.
DAVID: So really the film rests very much on her shoulders because shes most of the piece. But as you say, all the supporting characters are very well cast too. I particularly like J. K. Simmons as her dad.
MARGARET: Its funny, isnt because shes Canadian and its so much talent coming out of Canada. Young talent coming out of...
DAVID: And Australia. I mean, its everywhere. You know, all the colonies. The Commonwealth, Im sorry.
MARGARET: Oh, it just seems to me that lately weve seen quite a lot of young, impressive Canadian talent.
DAVID: Well, of course, Jason Reitman is Canadian too.
MARGARET: Well, exactly.
DAVID: Look, I think this is a very smart film and hes followed THANK YOU FOR SMOKING, which I liked very much, with another very good comedy - tart comedy, very realistic, very fine, I think.
Your rating: Juno
Comments have now closed for this movie.
Comment: Diablo Cody sure had done a fine job of turning this story really into something else.. a work of brilliance.
five stars
Comment: I really enjoyed this film. I think you need to take it for what it is - part of a genre of films where vocabulary is they key element. Sure 16 year old kids don't speak like that in real life, but most other genres (sci-fi, action, thriller) don't represent real life either.
Superbly acted and my only gripe was that most of the music played in the film didn't reflect the music that Juno was into.
Comment: Loved it.
I'm in my mid-fifties, male, and found Juno to be the most refreshingly different, uplifting movie I've seen in a long time. Loved the music.Can't imagine a better casting job.
Diablo, I love you (and Olivia too).
Comment: I rented out this movie as I'd heard that it was good. oh, what a let down. The lead character was very annoying and i didn't believe a thing that she was coming out with. Her smart sarcastic dialogue was very unbelievable and it made me want give her a clip across the head pretty much throughout the wholemovie, and I don't think she is a very good actor either. I didn't like this at all... btw, good to see Jason Bateman back. Gave it half a star because of him.
Comment: Very good film. Michael Cera is extremely underrated. A terrific screenplay. Very good acting. 4 and a half stars.
Comment: When I saw this film I thought I had walked into a new, re-casted episode of Gilmour girls. I fear this is the start of a new trend in Hollywood, where character substance and realism is replaced by characters who seem to have an abundant store of pop-cultural knowledge, and pride themselves in their ability to insert hip quotable lines into everyday conversation. Everyone's a wise-guy; well-spoken and sure of themselves. Prone to moments of fragile vulnerability, just to remind us that they're still sort of based off real human templates.
One star for Paulie. One har-har for Juno
Comment: If this is comedy, it's based on teen-speak. If it's drama, it casually avoids the real issues and treats the problem like a case of mumps, once cured to be forgotten forever. I agree the characters are two-dimensional, and how she managed to get pregnant by that dork in the first place is never revealed. Realistic it is not.
Comment: At the beggining i was a little concerned i'd get annoyed and wouldnt understand the way the characters communicate in the film. But this was so smart, warm and embracing. The script is one of the best i've seen in a film in a long while, the cast are a terrific ensemble and the storyline and sub-plots are all relevant, relative and told in a smart and quirky way. This sure is offbeat but at its best. I loved it and i would love a friend like Juno!
Comment: I adore this movie. Ellen Page is so amazing as Juno, she is really what makes this movie so incredible. Fabulous supporting cast and I also really loved Jennifer Garner's performance. Diablo Cody's writing is witty and she really captures the language of today's teenagers. I loved the soundtrack, by The Moldy Peaches and really felt it added to the film, making it unique, instead of having just a typical orchestral score. Brilliant movie, definitely one of my favourites.
Comment: It would be a hard thing to find a movie about a teenage pregnancy uplifting but that's what this is. Ellen Page is brilliant as Juno and the movie manages to avoid any kind of cliche usually associated with the subject matter. "Your baby has fingernails" was a line that will live long in my memory. Very funny.
Comment: I found this movie enjoyable, well written and well acted. Some might find the topic difficult, but perhaps this movie tries to show that an intellegent young adult can make mature decisions when faced with a difficult life situation.
Comment: Juno is extremely impressive. I walked into the cinemas expecting a mainstream romance comedy that isn't very funny but I got a shock. The use of sarcastic humour is the best I've ever seen in a film.
Comment: fabulous......... nothing else I can say. love the soundtrack also!! Plus I looovvvee Michael Cera- tad obsessive.....
Comment: Being of a similar age as Juno, and in reply to the earlier comments i don't believe this movie and movies like this reflect mothers being pressured into giving up their babies. Juno chooses to give up her baby, and most mothers in this situation also have choice.
I loved this movie. One of my favourite parts, however, was the soundtrack which reflected Juno's personality perfectly.
Comment: this movie was amazin. the script is just delight nd relly makes the film. i think it is more of how a teenager would deal with being pregnant it is a very real situation and it shows how responisbile this girl has to be. this movie although dealing with a very serious subject really manages to be light and interesting. i cried laughed and got angry throughout this movie. it isnt in much detail about real trauma. i liked it very much. favourite
Comment: Terrible, Terrible film. I found it disgustingly bad. 5 stars.
Comment: I felt I had to see this after commenting on the trailer... and ... I liked it. It was funny, poignant, well acted. Juno the person is a one-off character. People like this exist and, because they are so individual and non conformist they are often annoying as well as admirable.
But, the situation is not a fun one and I think, despite it being 'just entertainment' ... Anne Taylor Fleming's essay on the popularity of this film is a very good read.
Comment: A corybantic paean, boltcutting through razor wire dialogue to profligate redemption.
Lovers (teen titans orbiting each other) suffer the 'sweet desloation, balmy pain' of lust.
Consequently, Juno confronts all her angels - who (one by one) defeat her.
The dream she finds - a giant doll's house harbouring the Great American Zeitgeist - turns into her nightmare, like Medusa on a 'bad-hair' day.
But the Aegis of Juno's virtue shines through. The gorgon is gorgonised.
Innocence triumphal, romance requited, raison d'etre regained, Juno croons soft canticles to perennial, ephemeral love.
Comment: I agree with 'James' futher down the list. My friend and I both found the Juno character quite annoying.
The Juno character's wise cracking and dialogue was over the top and unfeasible.
Would have been a better film had Page not overcooked the role, but can't blame her for the material she had to work with.
The whole supporting cast was great, and whilst his role was small, Micheal Cera ended up better than Page, but as people have commented, perhaps there was too much for Page to carry.
Comment: great cast, extreamly well written,. touches on a touchy issue with class. Not a teen movie as some have stated but a movies all can enjoy.
Ellen Page has the potential to be a great actress, who does not chose 'easy' rolls, and proves it here pulling of with class a role most whould have not dared touch.
Comment: i thought this film was very clever and extremely funny... and the soundtrack is even better....
Comment: Ok it is an enjoyable diversion but what is all the fuss about...is it any better than so many other "independent" type "cute" comedies that we have seen before?? ANd as for the lead actress getting an Oscar nomination??!!
Comment: I agree with Margaret and David, a fabulous film. A definite 'must see' with a touch of quirkiness and anti Hollywood which always appeals. Ellen Page is magnificent, reminiscent of a younger Janeane Garofalo. In a world which seems to be becoming more self-aware, these characters were comfortable in their own skins. A great story line and a great night out at the movies!
Comment: Ellen Page is the best of the best. She is a great actress and made this movie the best film i have seen. I love it
Comment: Greg - I think you underestimate the intelligence of a lot of 16-17 year olds. Granted, sometimes the film's dialogue is a little too fast-paced to be completely believable, but the conversations and level of intelligence involved to me was completely credible. Too often teenagers are depicted in films as brainless, sex-crazed neanderthals incapable of real conversation or emotionality, still 'developing' into functional beings. 30 or 40-year olds? Come on. I'm 21 and this film totally reminds me of being 16. Respect, Ms. Cody!
Comment: This is a lovely and witty - perhaps too witty - film about teenage pregnancy, and how a maturing young woman deals with her developing understandings about what is happening to her and to others around her.
Ellen Page's performance was an eye-opener, while the understated tenderness of Micheal Cera was so confused young man. Wonderful acting throughout.
Comment: I couldn't give this film a rating because I left after half an hour. Once again we have a child character in a film speaking as if she is 30 or 40 years old. Why is it so difficult having child or teenage characters speaking dialogue that is appropriate to their age?
Comment: I think this is an average film. I found the opening to be really contrived, and as the acoustic soundtrack played, I was rolling my eyes at this typical indie-film convention. I nearly laughed when I saw Juno had a hamburger phone - okay, we get it! She's weird and individual and everything she has is kitsch-cool! But you know...the character grows on you and I ended up cheering for her. It's overall a sweet film, and I was glad the screenplay steered away from stepmother and school stereotypes. But Oscarworthy performance from Page? Nope.
Good film.
Comment: I've been very curious about this movie since the buzz started. having finally seen it, I was not disappointed.
To those who thought Juno came off as rather non-chalant and blase about her ordeal, either wasn't paying attention or just didn't get it - the scene with Juno and Paulie at the hospital sums it all up rather poignantly.
This is an excellent movie with flawed but generally likeable characters. Kudos to all the actors for a job well done. Definitely a must see film.
Comment: I think i am one of the only people i know who did not like this film. To me the whole thing was so unbelievable, the situation and the characters. I found Juno too sarcastic and smart for her age and the other characters very 2 dimensional unrealistic. the dialogue was stiff and unnartural and i didn't feel anything for the characters. I didn't laugh or cry at all. Juno didn't seem upset by her pregency or anyting. I found the whole movie really annoying.
Comment: Simply brilliant, warm and very funny. I was expecting hollywood would spoilt it somewhere along the film but they didn't and in my view this is one of the best movies I have seen in a very long time. Ellen Page and Michael Cera characters were played to perfection. This will is sure to be one of my favourites movies. Highly recommended!
Comment: I think this movie was awesome. Smart, humourous, moving all captured in the one movie. Ellen Page is wonderful because I don't think its an easy performance to pull off but she is just amazing.
Comment: I found this film hilarious given the situation Juno had gotten her-self into. The cinematography was wonderful and music was well suited for each scene. I feel this film is well suited to people of all ages, especially young adults who can relate / understand the emotions Juno may or may not be feeling.
Also, the ending is something i found to be quite beautiful, making the film something special.
Comment: I have to back up IIan, I can see what they were getting at with this film but they are grossly off the mark. The cheesy dialogue was groan - inducing to say the least, and for a film to tout itself as a comedy it really should be alot more genuinely amusing than this. Comedy or not, no teenage girl drops quips in the abortion clinic waiting room. I'm with you IIan.
Comment: "Hard Candy" made Ellen Page memorable in a movie that didn't work out. Ditto here. "Juno" has checked out every successful "quirky, independent, American dramedy" of the past five or six years - and converted it to safe and charming multiplex fare. The comfortable script gives the pregnant teenager (Juno) by far the best lines. She just plays easily to the camera rather than to the other characters (boyfriend, dad, step-mom, adoptive mum and dad, etc). Only near the end does the boyfriend (played by Michael Cera) get the right lines for excellent one-on-one work with Page.
Comment: Really David, It may be many things but realistic it is not. The Juno character is attractive, although i do agree with Margaret, too mature to be completely credible.But the biggest problem, I think, is the lack of reality in the way it treats the issue of teenage pregnancy. I also think that its a movie that even the pro-life lobby are going to find acceptable and that's a worry, Essentially the director masked over all the really difficult issues to sustain the fantasy that is Juno.
Comment: I don't know why M&D didn't give this movie 5 stars. It's perfect. Michael Cera ( the kid from Superbad) is so funny, and Ellen Page's character is completely loveable. The soundtrack is fantastic and one of the best I've ever heard. The story, written by a stripper, will leave you warm and fuzzy inside. Jason Reitman is now a director to look out for.
Comment: I really dont see this film as a comedy as I only laughed out loud once or twice through the whole movie.
It did however touch me and left a lasting impression on the issues and decisions we need to make through life, as unexpecting as some can be.
Unfortunatly I found Juno herself very irritating and felt the character was over the top. All in all its worth seeing as the story line is very touching.
Comment: The best movie of the year. Deserves 2 Oscars fror Best Actress and Best Original Screenplay.
Comment: I thought this film was absolutely fantastic.
Although the film's comedic appeal has already been lauded, nobody has acclaimed the soundtrack!
Songs from the Kinks, Belle and Sebastian, and Boy Least Likely To seem to meld inconspicuously with the screenplay, and are as much a part of the film as it's script.
For some reason, it sortof reminded me of Garden State...
Comment: This movie is, as mentioned before, a rare find. It is so intelligently written and beautifully acted, especially Ellen Page who I have seen on screen for the first time. It is so well made from beggining to end and deals with real issues whilst using humour to lighten the situation, in this case the situation happens to be teenage pregnancy, which is a touchy topic but it is wonderfully brought to life in JUNO. very good choice to hire two of the actors from ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT who are both brilliant.
Comment: Great acting, and well written, so realistic, very emotional.
Comment: Massively over-rated, and very average. This is a huge letdown for Jason Reitman after Thank You For Smoking. Ellen Page is swamped by it, but the supporting cast are very good. There are some funny one-liners, but overall it is a real disappointment.
Comment: I thought Juno was a wonderfully witty and candid film, with not a single dislikeable character and a very original screenplay, well written and directed, and, I thought, amazingly well filmed. The scene when Juno's driving under the bridge on the highway looked so desolate it fitted perfectly with her mood at the moment. The titles were clever and the soundtrack great. Reminded me of Sophia Coppola.
Also, the matter of teen pregnancy is dealt with tastefully, its obvious towards the end of the film Juno is actually concerned about where the child is headed. See it.
Comment: Cute. Nice effort.
Comment: A fabulous script brought to life by the wonderful Ellen Page and a fine ensemble. I thouroughly enjoyed this funny, quirky film and would recommend it to any one who loves intelligent, funny films
Comment: I went and saw this film last night and I found it to be a breath of fresh air amongst the predictable and shallow teen movies that are swept in to our cinemas from America.
I think this movie encourages its audience to take a different perspective on pregnant teens...that they're not all uneducated and stupid..which tends to be the accepted stereotype. As an 18 year old I have some friends who have gone through a similar experience to the character Juno...and the scorn that they receive from the public is simply unjustified.
See this film; with an open mind!
Comment: I agree with Moo. The film has a depth beyound just the comedy and I think some of the final scenes show this. It was not over sentimental nor did it trivialise unplanned pregnancies ( teen or otherwise). I think it showed that young people faced with serious issues can be quite strong and decisive. This film showed the issues around unplanned pregnancy really well without preaching from parents or anyone else and with some laughter along the way
Great movie
Comment: I've been doing nothing since Boxing Day but going to the movies, making the most of the 'Oscar Season', but most of what I've come across are pretty average movies that have been over-hyped.
This is perhaps the 2nd movie that I've walked away from feeling utterly fulfilled by my movie-going experience. Ellen Page is fantastic, and this film is pretty much how David describes. As for Juno's attitude towards the pregnancy, I felt it made sense in terms of her character. But most of all, this film is hilarious, and everyone has brilliant comic timing.
Comment: A beautiful movie that had me in tears. I think I would find something different in it during another stage of my life. The teenagers in the theatre thought it funny, I found Vanessa's pang for a baby palpable and resonant , and my older friends with teen children found it real and poignant.
Comment: Right on, Moo!
Comment: I thought this was a great film. Very sharp dialogue and a really sweet story.
As for IIan's comments, I really just have to say - get over yourself. This film did not take teenage pregnancy lightly and I think that the filmmakers did a great job.
Comment: I totally enjoyed this film and can think of no reason to not give it 5 stars. Ellen Page is absolutely terrific, and the other actors are excellent too. The story is wonderful and not cliched. It was very refreshing and a pleasure to watch. It started out very funny and was amusing throughout, and become quite touching but never in a soppy way. This is a great movie. 5 stars!
Comment: This movie is a rare find. The cast is wonderful, the script brilliantly written and the story unfolds beautifully.
Do yourself a favour and go and see this film. It's both sad and feel good, but i cannot understand the views of those who have clearly taken this far too seriously, or maybe not serioulsy enough, in thinking the somewhat ''taboo" issue of teenage pregnancy can't be addressed in a film of this type.
One of the best films i've seen in a long time.
Comment: I saw a preview screening of Juno & it was hilarious! In terms of teen movies I think that this will be the next Napoleon Dynamite. With the slogan "I try really hard actually" on t-shirts everywhere.
Comment: I thought this movie was very amusing, witty and clever.
In light of the comments made I'd have to agree with Liam's comments and also question Margaret's review of the trailer, how can one possibly "review" a movie when they have only watched a 2 minute snippet??
Comment: Two weeks ago, I went to see this movie in US, and the movie is nothing like the comments from llan and Margaret (the user, not Margaret Pomeranz). This film deals well with the issues about pregnant teenager. Interestingly speaking, the documentary on SBS last night (4th of Jan, 08) talked about movies make for teens and issues regards teens; if IIan and Margaret would have seen that, perhaps they will not be so PC and judgemental.
Comment: I know I can't review a trailer but I have to agree with Ilan after seeing the trailer of Juno. I felt uncomfortable about the apparent insouciance towards such a life changing event in a 16 year old's growth to becoming an adult.
Comment: Although I don't find this film particularly special, it is still a fairly humorous and well-acted film.
However, Ilan seems to be focusing so much on the inaccuracies of the movie as to give it '0' stars, that I feel slightly obliged to stand up for it.
Although I respect your reason for disliking the film, I suspect that you truly haven't realised that Juno IS a comedy, in which case, if you've ever seen a comedy before, you should know that the characters in them are quite often in situations very contradictory to the norm, and this is no exception.
Comment: I was torn between my blood boiling and my stomach throwing up.
While I recognise that this film is just a comedy, the pat nonchallance and blitheness of the characters couldn't be further than the traumatic realities of the many pregnant teenagers who are pressured, even coerced, into giving up their babies.
The directors could have done with a viewing of the Australian documentary, "Gone To a Good Home", that covers the tragic and devastatingly long-lasting effects of birth mothers who'd been coerced into giving up their babies for adoption.
