About Paros
Ferry hub of the Cyclades, Paros is a great base to explore the whole island group. But it's also a great place to stay. The beaches vary from watersports friendly to pristine and secluded, there's fascinating history and mythology to discover, and it's also quite colourful after dark. Paros's sugar cube villages vary from big and bustle-y, to quiet fishing village, to low-key resort, so there's plenty of variety when it comes to choosing the best places to stay on Paros as well.
One of the great things about being tagged as a transport hub is that people assume it's not worth choosing Paros as a base - but it is! And you'll find it much less touristy than some of the other islands in the group, despite the excellent infrastructure.
The best places to stay on Paros are near the beach, and on the south side of Paros are the windsurfing and water sports beaches. The rest of the island alternates rocky cliffs and sandy stretches, which will be a pleasure for those wanting to explore the island on foot. The white marble walkers will come across has long been famous for its quality - this is where the milkily perfect marble for the Venus de Milo came from, and also the marble for Napoleon's tomb.
The capital, Parikia, is one of the best places to stay on Paros because of its colour and energy! It's the main port AND home to the castle and many culturally important churches. It's also where you'll find the liveliest nightlife, and it runs beside a stretch of golden sand. Lined with tavernas. Yria Resort is just outside Parikia in Parasporos. And is one of the best places to stay in Paros because it benefits from all the town's appeals, but is really in its own friendly village.
- Naoussa is a picturesque fishing village with plenty of traditional charm. Only 10kms from Parikia, its narrow streets between whitewashed architecture, make it feel 50 years away.
- If you like a mountain breeze, stay in the beautiful, untouched village of Lefkes Olive and pine trees grow on the slopes below.
The Best Places to Stay on Paros (or Paros Adjacent)
- Some of the best places to stay on Paros aren't actually on Paros. Naxos Town is only 25mins delightful sail away. And it can be much cheaper. Tucked into the maze of white alleys, Château Zevgoli is homely, welcoming and inexpensive - starting from just £37 a night.
- Antiparos is a tiny, adjacent island, and though people usually visit on a day trip from Paros, if you're looking for a quiet beach holiday, or you like camping, it's a good choice.
Still not sure which is the best place to stay in Paros for you? Browse through our list of all the best places to stay on Paros, or contact one of our friendly Gurus for advice.

By Jerry Shriver, USA TODAY
NAPA VALLEY, Calif. Another fall season of high times and low-hanging fruit has finished its run in this wine-soaked wonderland, and for that we are blessed.
It was a fine one, this '06 grape crush. The manicured vineyards turned golden, cash registers sang lustily and, just like it always does the sweet-sour perfume of fermentation, scented the air from Yountville to Calistoga.

As America cultivates its growing love affair with wine, Napa's autumn has achieved holy status, marked by the arrival of thousands of pilgrims eager to uncork their passion in elite surroundings. But let's be honest: That heady aroma also mingled with the fumes of highway-clogging limos and the moans of overheated credit cards. Crowded tasting rooms and restaurant waiting areas could be insufferable at times. At its peak the harvest hubbub could make your head swirl and want to spit $200 Cab at the two-bit hordes.
That's why savvy sybarites have learned to let the bacchanalia burn off a bit. They wait and visit when the smoke rises from luxury bungalow fireplaces and the new-juice smell gives way to ancient aromas of damp earth. Right about now.
Napa when the grapes are gone is when tranquility blossoms.
"I actually prefer the off-peak (season) because it's so much more quiet and it's a much more intimate feeling," says Katherine Cooper of New York, a longtime Napa visitor who chose January for her most recent stay, in the cozy hillside Poetry Inn outside Napa. "What's nice in winter is having the time to take in everything — the beautiful scenery, the vineyards, and in the mornings the hot-air balloon people."
"The level of service valley-wide is exponentially better," says Mark Mendenhall, hospitality supervisor at the year-old Paraduxx Winery tasting room in Yountville.
Intimacy and exclusivity have always been the defining characteristics of the valley, which at its heart is a narrow, compact agricultural preserve. But today Napa is home to nearly 400 wineries, and each year 4 million visitors pour in to visit the 100-plus tasting rooms and critically acclaimed restaurants.
The arrival patterns mimic the grape-ripening cycle: Visitation blossoms anew in the spring, flattens through the sweltering summer, plumps up to a peak in the fall, then retreats during the nippy, sometimes wet, winter. And while wineries benefit from the attention, they also are sensitive about attracting too many visitors at once. That's why tourism officials eagerly tout winter-only programs such as the January-March Mustard Festival and the Chamber of Commerce's "Winter in the Wine Country VIP pack" that's good for discounts at area businesses ($25 per couple from sthelena.com).
"We've always focused on our slower season because we have to find a balance between managed tourism and agriculture," says Beth Carmichael, executive director of the Napa Valley Conference & Visitors Bureau. "Agriculture is so important to who we are that we don't want to overrun it."
Carmichael notes that lodging rates drop by as much as 30% for some of the valley's 4,000 rooms from November through March, and last-minute bargains are more plentiful — "one of the overlooked advantages of traveling in the offseason," she says. Finding lodging will be easier this offseason, thanks to a $6 million expansion at the Harvest Inn in St. Helena, which added 20 rooms, and the opening of The Meritage Resort at Napa, which added 158 rooms.
And dining well will be easier too, given the fall openings of several significant restaurants, including Ad Hoc, a comfort-food bistro from The French Laundry's Thomas Keller, in Yountville; Go Fish, a seafood eatery from Cindy Pawlcyn, in St. Helena; and The Restaurant at the luxurious Meadowood resort in St. Helena.
But normally the offseason is less about the new and more about enjoying deeper experiences at established places. That's particularly true of the tasting rooms. To control the party-hardy masses, most wineries have begun charging from $5 to $25 for a standard tasting, and some have instituted VIP programs that focus on rarer wines and/or food pairings and can cost from $25 to more than $100. Those experiences are available year-round, but in the winter they take on an even more exclusive feel.
"Offseason is more for wine connoisseurs — those interested in the craft of wine," says Ashley Terradista, a hospitality coordinator for Hall winery in Rutherford, where $30 private tastings are conducted in a mountainside cave adorned with a chandelier sporting 1,500 Swarovski crystals.
"Offseason you can walk in and, rather than just do a mass tasting, they're more likely to give you more personal attention, maybe pour you an older wine that's not typically part of their tasting, or a newer wine that's not yet available," says Cooper, who touts the programs at Cliff Lede Vineyards in Napa and Joseph Phelps Vineyards near St. Helena.
When the mind-set shifts from production to private pleasure, when corking the new juice gives way to uncorking bottles whose time has come, that's when wine country finds its highest calling.
"People come at harvest to see grapes being picked, but they tend to forget that the best time of year to drink the stuff is December and January, when you can sit in front of a fireplace and eat pumpkin-squash soup," says Carmichael.
And for that we are blessed.
Harvest a good deal at off-peak timesThe rates at Napa Countys lodgings usually drop between the end of the fall harvest and the beginning of summer. A sampling of per-night rates at some top properties (Exact dates for low and high season vary by hotel):

1 (SHILAC), August 14, 2013 Cancun, Mexico. A Patient-Driven Model of Electronic Medical Record for Homeless Patients in Puerto Rico Edgar Ferrer-Moreno Ana G. Mendez University System, Gurabo, Puerto Rico, USA, Rafael Nieves-Rivera Interamerican University of Puerto Rico, Bayamon, Puerto Rico, USA, ABSTRACT Electronic Medical Records (EMRs) are promising to improve quality and efficiency in healthcare services. Several models for adopting EMRs in healthcare centers have been developed, these are complex models that follow a clinician driven workflow. However, to provide healthcare to homeless patients requires that some unique conditions be met. This ongoing work present a novel model for adopting EMR to meet the particular medical record needs of homeless-patients. The model is intended to be applied by non-profit organizations that reach out homeless, however delivering proper healthcare in a systematic and professional way could become cumbersome considering the difficult environment in which medical street outreach has to be done. The proposed model follows a patient-driven workflow in order to use light EMRs with homeless-patients. Grounded Theory techniques are used to analyze data from interviews with physicians that provide healthcare to homeless patients in the metropolitan area of San Juan, Puerto Rico.

The EMR system follows a patient-driven workflow that can run on mobile devices and tablet computers and can be easily integrated to a more complex EMR system. Keywords: Electronic Medical Records (EMR), e-health, medical records systems, patient-driven workflow. RESUMEN Los Expedientes Médicos Electrónicos (EME) prometen mejorar la calidad y eficiencia en los servicios de salud. Varios modelos para la adopción de EME se han desarrollado, estos son modelos complejos que siguen un flujo de trabajo orientado a procesos clínicos. Sin embargo, para proporcionar atención médica a los pacientes sin hogar se requiere cumplir algunas condiciones especiales. En este trabajo se presenta un nuevo modelo para la adopción de EME para satisfacer las necesidades particulares de historias clínicas de personas sin hogar. El modelo está diseñado para ser aplicado por organizaciones sin fines de lucro que atienden a pacientes sin hogar, dicho modelo se basa en un flujo de trabajo orientado al paciente y utiliza una version ligera de EME. Las técnicas de teoría fundamentada se utilizan para recolectar y analizar datos de médicos que atienden pacientes sin hogar en el área metropolitana de San Juan, Puerto Rico. El modelo dará lugar a la aplicación de un sistema de EME ligero que puede ser utilizado para atender pacientes en las calles, el EME se puede ejecutar sobre dispositivos móviles y tabletas PC y es facilmente integrable a un sistema de EME más complejo. Palabras claves: Expediente Médico Electrónico (EME), e-salud, sistema de expediente médico. 1. INTRODUCTION Electronic Medical Records (EMRs) are promising to improve quality and efficiency in healthcare services. An EMR is a computerized record of a patient's clinical, demographic, and administrative data, the EMRs are typically created, gathered, managed, and consulted by licensed clinicians and staff from a single organization who are involved in the individual s health and care (MacKinnon and Wasserman, 2009). Several models for 1
2 adopting EMRs in healthcare centers have been developed (Venkatraman et al, 2008), these are complex models that follow a clinician driven workflow. This research is focused on a simple EMR model which relies on a patient-driven workflow, where the healthcare is provided on the streets to homeless patients. An EMR typically assist physicians in tasks such as (Mahata, 2007): (1) Access to patient data, (2) An increase in liability coverage, (3) Accurate and complete claims processing by insurance companies, (4) Building automated checks for drug and allergy interactions, (5) Standardization of care pathways and protocols, (6) Clinical notes, (7) Prescriptions, (8) Scheduling, (9) Sending to and viewing by labs It is supposed that the operation of a typical EMR system rely on a technological platform which can be accessed by clinical staff at any equipped location. However, some unique conditions must be met in order to provide healthcare to homeless patients. For example, the medical interventions can take place in a variety of locations such as improvised shelters, vacant buildings, sidewalks, alleys, public parks, etc., and the provided services can range from providing information about homeless shelters, housing options, engaging with the patients by offering food, clothing and giving direct medical care. A traditional healthcare approach will not apply to the homeless because of the inadequate conditions in which traditional medical interventions had to be done. For example, it is difficult for the clinicians to use paper records during clinical interventions with homeless. This work addresses the issue of adopting EMR to meet the particular medical record needs of homeless patients. We propose a model based on a simplified EMR, it follows a patient driven workflow to facilitate the use of light EMRs with homeless patients. The proposed model is intended to be applied by non-profit organizations that reach out homeless. Grounded Theory techniques are used to analyze data from interviews with physicians that provide healthcare to homeless patients in the metropolitan area of San Juan, Puerto Rico. The model will lead to the implementation of a light EMR system which can be used to collect medical data on the streets. The EMR system could run on mobile devices and tablet computers and could be easily integrated to a more complex EMR system. 2. ELECTRONIC MEDICAL RECORD (EMR) Electronic Medical Record (EMR) systems have gained attention in recent times thanks to the debate established around the Healthcare Reform Program proposed by President Obama. In April 2004, President George W. Bush set an ambitious goal of universal electronic medical records (Casidy, 2004). He said: "Within 10 years, every American must have a personal electronic medical record." In 2005 the federal government stared to outline a detailed plan designed to increase the use of information technology (IT) in healthcare, and to create national standards that would enable medical information to be digitized, stored and shared electronically. In 2010, President Obama reinforced the federal government s commitment to that target, and announced that nearly $20 billion in stimulus money would be available during the next five years to help health-care providers implement digital record systems. In 2010, the US government will be releasing $1.2 billion in grants to help health care providers to implement and adopt Electronic Medical Records, as part of the American Recovery and Investment Act (ARRA) An electronic health record (EHR) is a repository of electronically maintained information about an individual s lifetime health status and health care, stored such that it can serve the multiple legitimate users of the record (Hoffman, 2009). Our literature review found that different authors have used the term electronic medical record (EMR), and other terms such as electronic health record (EHR), and computerized patient record to describe a person s medical history in electronic form. EMR is more than a simple database of patient s records. In this work we are considering EMR as a technological suite of integrated functionalities built around a common database; these functionalities could include but are not limited to patient record management, prescription, and some decision support tools for diagnostics and practice management. Currently, many commercial products are sold as EMR systems, but they do not necessarily satisfy the criteria that we defined above. Moreover, some technical standards for implementing EMR systems are still under development (Lobach and Detmer, 2007). Even beyond the definition and the technical issues, health care providers and practitioners are compelled to adopt EMRs in the next three years. Therefore, the expectation, 2
3 necessities and concerns of health care providers and practitioners have to become an important matter to be studied prior implementing standards and adopting EMRs. According to (Medical Records Institute, 2010) five levels of an Electronic HealthCare Record (EHCR) can be distinguished: (1) The Automated Medical Record is a paper-based record with some computer generated documents; (2) The Computerized Medical Record (CMR) makes the documents of level 1 electronically available; (3) The Electronic Medical Record (EMR) restructures and optimizes the documents of the previous levels ensuring inter-operability of all documentation systems; (4) The Electronic Patient Record (EPR) is a patient-centered record with information from multiple institutions; (5) The Electronic Health Record (EHR) adds general health-related information to the EPR that is not necessarily related to a disease. This paper is focused on designing a level 3 EHCR model which can be extended to a level 4 or level 5 based on needs. 3. THE PATIENT-DRIVEN SELF-EFFICACY (PDSM) MODEL FOR DATA COLLECTION In this research we are proposing a light weight Electronic Medical Record (EMR) in order to address the process of healthcare on the streets. This light EMR is created from a model which follows a patient-driven workflow based on the self-efficacy theory. The model is intended to be applied by non-profit organizations that reach out homeless, however delivering proper health care in a systematic and professional way could become cumbersome considering the difficult environment in which medical street outreach has to be done. This is the main reason because an EMR for homeless patients has to be portable and lightweight; in this case the weight of the EMR is reduced by removing some details such as health insurance information or patient bills. The light EMR proposed rely on the self-efficacy theory, which is defined as a belief that one has the capabilities to execute the courses of actions required to manage prospective situations (Ormrod, 2006). In this work, the selfefficacy theory is applied in the medical practice context with the aim of attain the special necessities of homeless patients. This theory is part of the transtheoretical model of behavior change (Prochaska, 2001), which consists of four core constructs: stages of change, processes of change, decisional balance, and self-efficacy. The selfefficacy construct is fundamental in the model of light EMR that we are proposing. The theoretical construct of self-efficacy has been used widely in public health programs and interventions and medical practice (Brekke et al, 2001). The premise behind the construct is that greater confidence in performing a particular behavior makes it possible for an individual to change unhealthy or risk-taking behavior (i.e., stopping substance abuse) and become more engaged in the health-seeking process. The Self-efficacy theory suggests that any such change made by the individual will lead to an improvement in the health outcomes.the medical practitiones interviewed recommended the use of the patient-driven self-efficacy model in order to support the building of an EMR for homeless patients. 4. THE NEW MODEL FOR EMR SYSTEMS The proposed patient-driven ERM model based on the self-efficacy theory is developed following the grounded theory approach. Grounded theory procedures (codes, concepts, categories, and theory) were used to analyze data from interviews with physicians from a non-profit organization that provide healthcare to homeless patients in the metropolitan area of San Juan, Puerto Rico. Three components and four mechanisms were identified through this process; the integration of these components and mechanisms within the model is depicted in Figure MECHANISMS OF THE MODEL Database design A large part of the logic of the EMR system is database driven, for this reason a proper database design is crucial for successfully building an EMR system. In this model we identified two key issues to consider in the database design: Flexibility: The light EMR system should have capabilities to be connected o even integrated to a more complex EMR system, this require that a EMR system able to support the integration of multiple database systems. 3
4 Integrity: The EMR system is designed to be used on streets where the connectivity may be an issue. In order to maintain data integrity, it is suggested the use of database replication, which is a way of keeping data synchronized in multiple databases GUI design Usability is the measure of the quality of a user's experience when interacting with a product or system. Usability is a necessary condition for the success of a mobile EMR system which has to be easy to use and easy to learn. Medical interventions of patients on streets require spending least amount of time to enter information and more time in the actual success of the intervention. A tablet PC or any mobile device could be difficult to use, especially with regard to text entry, the GUI design have to avoid as far as possible entering text or complicated menus, visual mechanisms for data entry are highly recommended Front-end set up The handheld computer is an indispensable mean for accessing the ERM system. The system must be designed to avoid complicated client (front-end) set up Data collection Data collection is a vital mechanism in this model. One of the main goals of the EMR is to be capable of collect as much information about a patient in the least possible time. The data collection is performed according to the patient-driven self-efficacy model explained above. Three types of data have to be collected: demographic data, clinical data, and patient-driven self-efficacy data. Figure 1: The patient-driven model for EMR systems 4.2 COMPONENTS OF THE MODEL The proposed model incorporate the following components: Communication: The EMR system has to be enabled to establish communication with remote databases, other EMR systems, and other services outside the scope of the location where the medical intervention is taking place. It is feasible to use wireless internet and cellular telephony for carrying out communications. Capabilities for offline work are recommended for facing exceptional fails in communications. Patient-driven self-efficacy This is the underlying model for data collection where the special needs of the homeless patients are considered. The data collection process deals with any information that is generated in accordance with the self-efficacy construct of the transtheoretical model of behavior change. This component ensures the treatment of information such as the evolution of the patient, goals that have been achieved by the patient, pending goals, etc. 4
5 Scurity: The EMR system is obligated to use secure connections and authentication process. The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) requires the United States Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to establish national standards for the security of electronic health care information. 5. CONCLUSIONS AND FUTURE WORK In this work we presented a new model of patient-driven light Electronic Medical Records (EMRs), the proposed model is oriented to homeless patient and is inspired by the transtheoretical model of behavior change applied to healthcare. The model was developed following the grounded theory approach. Three components (patient-driven self-efficacy, communication, and security) and four mechanisms (database design, GUI design, front-end set up, and data collection) were identified through this process. The suggested model can provide a road map for designers and developers of mobile ERM systems.

Let's face it, sometimes people want no-strings-attached sex. It's a part of life that the Internet has actually made simpler and faster. Unlike a bar or a club, sex dating websites are always open and filled with sexually active singles. These sites are increasingly popular for men and women looking to hook up.
To make your online sex dating easier, we had our experts take a look at the 10 Best Sex Dating Sites so you don't have to spend time weeding through the scams to find the diamonds in the rough.
BeNaughty is a sinfully enjoyable place to meet hot singles. On BeNaughty, you choose your own comfort level with settings to blur out or reveal "naughty photos" and "explicit nudity." Besides photos, your profile has two sections: Main Information and Sexual Preferences. BeNaughty is tit for tat in terms of personal details (you can't see someone else's info unless you put yours). Once a sexy profile catches your eye, you can Chat, Wink, Add Friend, or Like to show interest. Monthly subscribers get extra bang for their buck with incognito mode, higher ranking in search, and "message read" alerts. From adult sex chat rooms to the Like Gallery, BeNaughty offers many ways to explore and find yourself some naughty dates.

Hi everyone, I hope you had a wonderful first-of-summer weekend! We headed five hours, driving time, north to attend one of the most precious weddings involving good friends and family.
Guests wore everything from summer colored dresses to pants and tunics to cowboy boots and sandals. My daughter in law joined me with our Texas wildflower dresses. I know the picture of my dress isn't the best...but, honestly, there are prettier outfits to see!!

Well, as all Office fans learned this year, Steve Carell, the beloved manager of Dunder Mifflin, has decided to resign from the show, leaving someone else to fill his void, that eventually being Andy. I was initially disappointed to hear this and I have to say, I have mixed feelings about the Season 8 episodes with the usual Michael Scott absent now entirely.
First off, while I'm still saddened at Steve Carell having left the show, I have to say, he left off in a great way. I was more than happy to see Michael propose to Holly in the end, seeing how they're both humorous and somewhat dorky in a way, too. They understand each other well and I'm glad they found their way back to each other again after quite a bit of turmoil. My mom is convinced that there will be an episode in the future where Michael and Holly get married and the whole office attends the wedding. It'd be nice to see that, but I guess we'll just have to wait and find out what is to come.
Still, it's not quite the same without Michael around to provide humor, even if his jokes can get very inappropriate sometimes, and be the comical, often times idiotic boss who shouldn't really be regional manager in the first place. But Andy isn't so bad either and while he doesn't possess the same idiotic humor as Michael, the way he often gets himself caught up in situations is funny and he brings a certain charm to the office.
The Season 8 episodes I find to be a little less funny than episodes from previous seasons, although every so often, there'll be a funny scene or act that will have me laughing out loud. The characters haven't changed too much, although Andy has grown more responsible in light of having taken up position as manager. I felt sorry for him in the "Garden Party" episode when his parents were doting on his younger brother. And of course there's always humor in seeing Jim pranking Dwight. Robert California is quite a character as well, playing a serious, hard-to-read, sometimes creepy person. I found the story he told in the episode, "Spooked", very funny.
So, in essence, Season 8, although not the best of seasons and very different without Michael Scott, is satisfying and enjoyable to watch. I look forward to watching more episodes and maybe one with Michael and Holly getting married, too. ;)

Weight Plays a Role in Fatal Car Crashes
(Ivanhoe Newswire) -- Being obese can increase a man's risk of dying in a motor vehicle accident.
New research from the Medical College of Wisconsin Injury Research Center in Milwaukee analyzed data of more than 22,000 drivers ages 16 and older. It reveals men who are very slim as well as those who are obese are more likely to die in a car crash.
"Men with the highest body mass index (BMI) were at greatest risk for death from front or left-side collisions, especially at high speeds," says Shankuan Zhu, M.D., Ph.D., assistant professor of family and community medicine. "Men with the lowest BMI also had higher death rates than the lowest rates, which were found among overweight, but not obese men."
Dr. Zhu says this may be because moderately overweight men have more insulating tissue without a significant increase in mass, which could cushion the blow.
Researchers also found obesity does not affect a woman's risk of dying in a car crash. They say this could be partly due to the difference in body shape between men and women.
Motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of injury-related death in the United States, killing more than 42,000 people in 2002.

Most cases settle. That holds true even in divorce cases. In divorce cases, with the increased use of mediation and other forms of alternative dispute resolution, settlement is even more likely.
A Change to a Court Determined Custody and Visitation Schedule Requires a Material Change in Circumstances
For custody and visitation cases that do not settle and end up going to trial, the court will decide the custody and visitation schedule. Parties who are unhappy with the schedule provided by the court can request a change. However, for the change request to be granted, that party must show two things:
- That there has been a material change in circumstances since the most recent award
- That the proposed change would be in the best interests of the child.
The requirement that one party show a material change has occurred in order to change the custody and visitation order makes sense for cases that have been resolved with a final order in place. In those cases, the parties have presented their positions at trial and the court has made a decision. It would be unfair to allow a party to seek change simply because they are unhappy. To allow such a change would create a cycle of never ending litigation, resulting in skyrocketing costs and stress on all parties involved.
A Change to a Mediated Custody and Visitation Agreement Also Requires a Material Change
But what about cases that have been resolved through agreement – where an order has yet to be entered? For example, if the couple agrees to mediation and works out an acceptable custody and visitation schedule, if one party is later unhappy, does the material change in circumstance rule apply here as well? Or can a parent simply seek change because they are unhappy or simply because that party changes his or her mind – after all no court order has been entered.
The 2009 Virginia Court of Appeals Case, Duva v. Duva dealt with this very issue. The Court found that even in a case where custody and visitation arrangements have been resolved by agreement, before such an agreement can be modified it is necessary to satisfy the material change test – i.e. to show (1) a material change in circumstance has occurred since the date of the most recent award and (2) that the change would be in the best interests of the child.
The Duva case is significant because under Duva, even if a court order memorializing the terms of an agreement has not been presented or entered, the higher material change requirement still applies. As a result, for those people going through mediation or other alternative dispute resolution form, you do not have to worry, the agreement will not be disregarded just because the other party changes his or her mind.

i can't believe there is a person on earth who would go this show let alone pay to see it. i'm amazed.
I am amazed that she's able to ejaculate, especially that distance, when nobody is stroking her. On the other hand I suppose she could be stroking herself.

I have no gross photos to show you this week, but since a blog post without photos is just a bunch of words, here are some awesome eats we've been having lately! I love that I am able to get out of the house more, and Eric does a nice job of driving me around to restaurants.
Cauliflower Banh Mi at Sprig & Vine! This might be my most favorite sandwich ever. It's so good.
Chocolate Lava Cake from Vegan Commissary! A new vegan place in Philly, Eric and I went to dinner there a few weeks ago and it was great. Nice mix of healthy and not so healthy food.
Pizza for Pi Day from Blackbird! Sadly Blackbird took my favorite pizza off the menu (Yukon Gold) but they replaced it with this. This pie is good, but doesn't fill the hole in my heart that the yukon gold ripped and stole from me.
Ok now on to the ankle updates…
I enjoy blogging about my broken ankle not only to track my progress, but also because I have spent so much time searching and reading other people's personal stories. And there is so much inconsistency in people's breaks and recoveries that I think it's nice to read first hand, real world accounts.
At this point I have accepted that I had/have a severe ankle injury that's going to take a long time to heal. And I am so far from where I want to be that I easily get frustrated. I really only have two big picture goals: start walking and resume my normal activity level. I get frustrated because I can't do either, although I think walking is coming soon, but I tend to forget all of the little things (victories) that have happened the past few weeks that are helping me reach my big picture goals.
I started PT three weeks ago and when I started there was zero movement in my foot/ankle, and I couldn't even get it flat on the ground. I found an amazing therapist who is doing amazing things, she pushes me just enough and has loads of confidence in me and my recovery, which has been great. I've been going three times a week, and by far I am the worse off of anyone that I ever see at PT.
Three weeks ago I could do nothing. As of this week I can ride the stationary bike, walk on the treadmill while holding on to the handrails, and I am beginning to put full weight on my foot. I also learned walking with one crutch, but it's still a struggle so I am only practicing it while I am at PT. It's all hard, my ankle is sore today after two tough sessions.
This week marks 3 months since I got hit and I had my first doctor check up in a few weeks. I came out of there with good news which essentially ended with my doctor telling me to try to get off the crutches asap. Eventually I may need more surgery to remove some bone fragments (which I can sometimes feel moving around, eww), but it's something that isn't necessary and can happen later.
On another note, a couple of weeks ago Eric and I ordered a bunch of vitamins to make us super humans. I specifically ordered some to help with my ankle. I'm not sure how much they have really helped, but I am getting better so I don't think they are hurting.
I ordered some vegan glucosamine pills. It's hard finding a veg version in regular drugstores. It's supposed to help with joint pain, and I think this is something I will continue taking for a while. I may be able to tell if it really helps with the pain once my ankle is healed.
I also started taking curcumin, which is tumeric. It's supposed to help with inflammation. My foot and ankle are still pretty swollen, but the inflammation has gone down. I am not sure if that's just giving it time or from the actual pills, but I'll probably continue taking it since there are a ton of health benefits.
Anyway, lots of exciting things are happening soon, which are really motivating me to heal up and get to walking. This weekend we are heading to the Catskills with some friends. Everyone is going skiing and I plan on taking it easy at the cabin or lodge and have already loaded up my iPad with some new books.

Yahoo tops ComScore list of most visited websites via desktop for December
Yahoo has been working hard to turn around its ailing fortunes. That turnaround has involved shutting down a number of the services it used to offer. CEO Marissa Mayer has also been making changes to the internal structure of the web firm to help improve operations. It seems that while Yahoo isn't making more money just yet, its traffic at least is coming back.

Do you know someone who says "I Was"? Support them during Sexual Assault Awareness Month.
Every two minutes in the United States, someone's life changes for good. Every two minutes in the United States, someone is sexually assaulted.
They're your sisters, your mothers, your brothers and fathers, your friends. Many victims never come forward and never get help for the most personal violation someone can experience. But survivors aren't alone.
April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month, a time to shine a light on the devastating crime of rape and a time to remind survivors they're not alone. The Rape, Abuse and Incest National Network put out this powerful PSA to remind survivors of just that.
During Sexual Assault Awareness Month, we can tell everyone who says "I Was" that there is support and help for them.

Today in Geek History: The Mir Space Station Enters Orbit
The International Space Station is pretty tops, hosting all sorts of events like Google Hangouts and jam sessions that make you feel like you're really there. But for as cool as it is, it's a Johnny-come-lately on the space station scene, and geeks of a certain age -- yours truly included -- can be forgiven for having a special place in our heart for the space station we grew up with. On February 20th, 1986, Russia's Mir space station was launched into orbit, where it remained an orbital center for science and research until it plummeted back to Earth in 2001.Read More
Chris Hadfield's #ValentineFromSpace Is Pretty Much The Most Adorable Thing Ever
Without you my heart is a lonely iceberg. #ValentineFromSpace twitter.com/Cmdr_Hadfield/… — Chris Hadfield (@Cmdr_Hadfield) February 14, 2013People, can we acknowledge for a moment that Canadian astronaut and ISS Commander Chris Hadfield is absolutely blowing up right now? In the last couple of weeks, dude has hosted a Google Hangout explaining life on the ISS, chatted with Captain Kirk, and rocked out with Barenaked Ladies. This morning, though, found Hadfield getting all poetical, tweeting a Valentine photo of a free-floating iceberg taken from the ISS with the message "Without you my heart is a lonely iceberg." (And since we're all wondering it, sorry, folks, he's spoken for.) People are of course eating it up, because it's totally sweet and from space and... shut up you guys, there's something in my eye! Since Valentine's Day is all about sharing the love, Hadfield wants to hear your space-themed Valentines all day. He'll even be retweeting the best -- or cheesiest -- ones, which is pretty great, but also makes us suspect that running the ISS might be a little easier than we've been led to believe. There seems to be a lot of free time for hanging out on the Internet involved, at least. Get @Cmdr_Hadfield with your best #ValentineFromSpace today, and when it gets retweeted, you can tell your special guy or lady it was all about them -- even if you were getting a little swoony over Hadfield when you sent it, because who doesn't love a man in a space suit? We're not made of stone! You can see some of our favorite #ValentineFromSpace below, and we'll be updating all day, so be sure to check back regularly so you'll have something nice to say to your Valentine tonight, even if you did steal it from the Internet.

American stock indexes showed growth against the background of the oil price recovery. Investors fear further decline in stock market indexes after yesterday was published weak data on services PMI, which fell in February to 49.8, against the forecast of 53.4. At the same time, sales of new homes in January was only 494 million against the forecast of 522 thousand. Today, the focus of investors will be on the statistics on the volume of orders for durable goods (13:30 GMT). Investor activity will be limited due to the expected publication of the preliminary report on US GDP growth tomorrow. We forecast a drop in the US stock market indexes in the coming months.
European stock indexes are now showing a positive dynamics amid the recent recovery in oil prices, as well as the positive impact of growth in the US indexes. Today was published preliminary data on GDP growth in the UK in Q4, which was 0.5% that coincided with forecasts of analysts. The consumer price index in the euro area showed an increase of 0.3% in January from 0.4% in December. Weak inflation increases the likelihood of extended measures to stimulate the growth of the euro area economy, which will be positively displayed on quotes of the European companies. Our medium-term outlook remains positive.
Markets in the Asia-Pacific region showed a decline today. The biggest fall was recorded on the Shanghai Stock Exchange. Volatility of indexes in the region remains high amid concerns over the pace of China's industry and economy as a whole. The Japanese market has shown growth and continues to strongly depend on the dynamics of the national currency, strengthening of which has negative impact on financial performance of export-oriented companies. Tomorrow we should pay attention to inflation data in Japan. The high level of volatility is likely to continue in the near future and once the situation stabilizes, we expect the resumption of growth on the markets of the region.
