Probable carcinogen found in tap water of 31 U.S. cities
In 25 of 35 U.S. cities where tap water supplies were tested for hexavalent chromium -- deemed likely to cause cancer in humans in a U.S. EPA draft review this year -- levels of the chemical exceeded the minimum set by the state of California to protect public health, according to a report released today by an environmental group.
The Environmental Working Group's (EWG) new findings mark a public flare-up in the behind-the-scenes battle over estimating the carcinogenicity of oral exposure to hexavalent chromium, also referred to as chromium-6. The draft EPA assessment released in September could pave the way for a national drinking-water standard for the chemical, best known for polluting groundwater in Hinkley, Calif., where activist Erin Brockovich won a multimillion-dollar settlement for locals and became a household name.
The outcry over cancer cases in Hinkley helped push California to set a tap-water public health goal of 0.06 parts per billion (ppb) of chromium-6, an early move on the way to a binding state standard (Greenwire, Aug. 21, 2009). Of the 35 cities where EWG tested drinking supplies, 31 contained some level of chromium-6, and 25 -- including Washington, Los Angeles and Norman, Okla., where samples showed 12.9 ppb -- contained levels higher than the California goal.
EWG senior scientist Rebecca Sutton, an environmental chemist who crafted today's report, said her group's data provide new ammunition for measuring and restricting chromium-6 in drinking water nationwide. The federal government made "a very poor choice" by mandating its current drinking-water tests for total chromium, a metric that blends hazardous chromium-6 with the essential nutrient trivalent chromium.
Sutton added that while "industry is doing its very best to slow the process down even further," she hopes to see California advancing its chromium-6 limits to serve as a potential model for broader action. "Sometimes the state of California can lead the way, can show, 'Hey, this is possible,'" she said.
Brockovich, now an author and full-time consumer advocate, predicted in an interview that further chromium-6 water contamination issues would emerge "not only at a national but a global level."
"There is no reason why we can't address this without sounding some kind of panic alarm, which [critics] are going to accuse us of doing," Brockovich said.
A heavy metal commonly used in industrial dyes and coatings that also occurs naturally in small amounts, chromium-6 is known to be carcinogenic via inhalation. The cancer-causing effects of oral exposure through water, however, remain the subject of intense debate between environmentalists and industry.
The recent EPA draft review of chromium-6 incorporated the results of a 2008 National Toxicology Program (NTP) study that found a higher occurrence of gastrointestinal tumors in exposed rodents. The American Chemistry Council and the American Water Works Association, which represents water utilities that could bear the costs of broader chromium-6 testing, have both questioned the application of the NTP study to human exposures at lower levels.
ACC and AWWA have called on EPA to postpone further action on its chromium-6 risk assessment until new studies, including one funded by industry, are released next year.
A senior official at the Southern California Water Committee (SCWC), an alliance of industry and local governments active on water quality issues in the state, also asked EPA to delay the chromium-6 assessment until more studies are released.
Using the 2008 NTP data to assess the cancer-causing effects of lower exposures to chromium-6 "may not reflect the true risk and will have significant consequences for the public's confidence in the quality and safety of their drinking water," SCWC Executive Director Richard Atwater wrote to EPA in October. "Furthermore, it would prematurely trigger regulatory levels that water supply agencies simply don't have the equipment to monitor and detect."

Vynnicone Early OriginsThe surname Vynnicone was first found in Hampshire where they held a family seat from very ancient times, before and after the Norman Conquest in 1066. Vynnicone Spelling VariationsVynnicone Spelling VariationsIt is only in the last few hundred years that the English language has been standardized. For that reason, early Anglo-Saxon surnames like Vynnicone are characterized by many spelling variations. As the English language changed and incorporated elements of other European languages, even literate people changed the spelling of their names. The variations of the name Vynnicone include: Vincombe, Vinicombe, Vinnicombe, Vinncombe and others.

The Great MigrationThe Great MigrationMany English families tired of political and religious strife left Britain for the new colonies in North Ameri ca. Although the trip itself offered no relief - conditions on the ships were extremely cramped, and many travelers arrived diseased, starving, and destitute - these immigrants believed the opportunities that awaited them were worth the risks. Once in the colonies, many of the families did indeed prosper and, in turn, made significant contributions to the culture and economies of the growing colonies. An inquiry into the early roots of North American families has revealed a number of immigrants bearing the name Vynnicone or a variant listed above: William Vinicomb settled in St. John's Newfoundland in 1753; Mrs. Jean Vinicombe rented a meadow near Maggoty Cove, Newfoundland, in 1796; Richard Vinecum was in Maggoty Cove, Newfoundland, in 1813.

DreamWorks Animation Tumbles as 'Turbo' Leads Sales Drop
Andy FixmerDreamWorks Animation SKG Inc., the independent film studio, tumbled the most in more than eight years after reporting a 23 percent drop in quarterly revenue, as home-video sales of the movie "Turbo" trailed estimates.
DreamWorks Animation slumped 12 percent to $30.91 at the close in New York, the biggest drop since July 2005. Sales in the fourth quarter fell to $204.3 million, the Glendale, California-based company said yesterday in a statement. That missed analysts' projections of $223.2 million, the average of nine estimates.
The home-video release of "Turbo," a disappointment in U.S. theaters, and the film's expansion to other markets during the quarter, failed to reverse its fortunes. Chief Executive Officer Jeffrey Katzenberg said on Oct. 29 that he believed "Turbo," released in July, would turn a profit. Instead, the company yesterday wrote down its value by $13.5 million.
"Where once international box office and DVD performance were somewhat predictable, this is clearly no longer the case," Ben Mogil, an analyst at Stifel Financial Corp. in St. Louis, wrote yesterday in a research note. While the company has diversified, feature films still have a big impact on its business, said Mogil, who has a hold rating on the stock.
The film "faced one of the most competitive feature film environments we've seen," Katzenberg said on a conference call with investors. "While it performed fairly well during the fourth quarter at the international box office and its home-video release, it still fell short of our expectations."
Net Income
Net income totaled $17.2 million, or 20 cents a share, DreamWorks Animation said. In last year's fourth quarter, the company posted a net loss of $82.7 million, or 98 cents a share, following the lackluster performance of "Rise of the Guardians" in theaters.
"Turbo," available on DVD and other home-video formats starting Nov. 12, sold 3.3 million units in the period, the company said. In addition to the impairment charge, equaling about 12 cents a share, DreamWorks Animation recorded amortization expenses of $4 million on the film, Chief Financial Officer Lew Coleman said on the call.
A separate $7 million impairment was recorded for a "Rocky & Bullwinkle" short, which the company previously planned to run before its next feature film, "Mr. Peabody & Sherman," which opens in the U.S. on March 7.
Analysts had expected profit of 32 cents a share, the average of 10 estimates compiled by Bloomberg.
"Mr. Peabody & Sherman," released in some international markets, has collected $22.5 million to date outside the U.S., according to researcher BoxOfficeMojo.com.
New Markets
Katzenberg is expanding beyond feature films by entering streaming pacts with companies including Netflix Inc., creating publishing and television operations, and licensing characters to theme-parks. The company this week announced a deal with Merlin Entertainments Plc, one of Europe's biggest theme park owners, to create attractions based its "Shrek" films.
"It is our goal to try and establish as many revenue sources outside of the traditional movie," Katzenberg said on the conference call.

Voices from the Margins: Immigrant Workers' Perceptions of Health and Safety in the Workplace

LOSH conducted an ethnographic in-depth study of 75 immigrant workers in six industries in Southern California between January and October 2001. The industries chosen were: day labor, domestic work, garment work, homecare, hotel and restaurant work. Most of those interviewed — 90 percent — worried that they would get injured on the job. The majority said they had experienced work-related injuries or illnesses, but only two thirds had reported these to their employers. Those who did not report gave a variety of reasons for not doing so, not the least of which was concern that their employer would retaliate against them.

In this election season, I have heard next to nothing about criminal justice reform. Are other issues really so much more pressing? Think about it. 2.3 million men and women in prison and another 5 million on probation or parole – amounting to 1 out of every 32 Americans under justice system control. Countless others have completed their sentences but live with a record of a felony conviction. They are returning to community at a rate of 1.5 million every two years. Most do not return to prison. Instead, they live in community, struggling for jobs and housing and reunification with their families. They have paid their debt, but it is not over.
Across our country, some of these countless former felons are disenfranchised from voting. Others are not, but believe they are. Others have just given up.
And maybe that is why our politicians ignore the fact that so many of us are incarcerated. Many of their votes don't count.
In Florida in 2000, George Bush won over Gore by 537 votes, deciding the election.
In Florida in 2000, approximately 827,000 former felons were disenfranchised and locked out of the voting booth, even though they had done their time. In Florida in 2000, the governor in this battleground state instructed the secretary of state to purge hundreds of thousands of allegedly ineligible voters from the rolls – mostly Hispanic and African Americans. 12,000 of voters who were actually eligible to vote were removed because they were misidentified as former felons.
Convicted felons have unrestricted voting rights in two states. In 13 states and the District of Columbia, the vote is restored after incarceration. In 23 states, the vote is restored after incarceration and the completion of parole and/or probation. In 12 states, former felons may lose the vote permanently. (See the rules for your state.)
Today, the Florida voting laws for formerly incarcerated people are so onerous that they are almost impossible to surmount. New voting restrictions were passed by the Florida legislator last year, disenfranchising 100,000 former felons who had been granted the right to vote under GOP Governor Crist in 2008. Voting rights must be "restored" in a process that is severely underfunded and can take years of constant effort. After the 2010 election, Florida's new GOP Governor Scott instructed his secretary of state to compile a database of "non-citizen" voters; the secretary resigned rather than implement the governor's plan, but his successor announced a list of 182,000 suspected non-citizen voters to be removed from the voting rolls, along with an additional 50,000 presumed dead, and another 7,000 who were removed as alleged felons who were erased in 2012. As investigations proceed, at least 20% of the alleged "non-citizen" voters have been found to be, in fact, citizens.
Do we leave decisions on our civil rights up to parties who want to manipulate voter eligibility for political purposes?
When is a citizen not a citizen?

In it, but not of it. TPM DC
MoveOn Ad: Boycott Target For Pro-Emmer Political Donations (VIDEO)
Also, as the Star Tribune reported over the weekend
The Minneapolis-based retailer has been in private talks with the nation's largest gay-rights advocacy group, Human Rights Campaign, but it's unclear whether the company will take action. The group, based in Washington, D.C., has demanded that both Target and Best Buy make an equal or greater contribution to groups supporting gay-rights candidates in Minnesota.
Fun fact: Target's previous name and corporate incarnation was as the Dayton-Hudson corporation -- the century-old family business of former U.S. Sen. Mark Dayton, who is now the Democratic nominee in the gubernatorial race.
The TPM Poll Average puts Dayton ahead of Emmer and Independence Party candidate Tom Horner by a margin of 44.2%-33.6%-9.9%.

Hello World! Welcome to Shoal Lake History
Shoal Lake Minute #18
Born in Dublin, Ireland in 1855, Frank Dobbs came to Canada at age 16 to work on land survey crews in southern Manitoba and Saskatchewan. In 1874 he joined the North West Mounted Police and went west on their famous trek. During his tour of duty, he took part in the Riel Rebellion in 1885, resigning from the force in 1886. In 1902, he was awarded a silver medal from the Dominion of Canada for services rendered during the 1885 Rebellion.
For his duty in the NWMP, Dobbs received a free half section of land seven miles south of Shoal Lake and started farming. Realizing farming was not for him, Dobbs took up selling real estate and insurance and bookkeeping. Shoal Lake Rural Municipality hired him as secretary treasurer in 1899, a position he kept until 1933. He held the same position for the village from 1909 to 1931.
Frank liked being busy. He was secretary-treasurer of the Shoal Lake Agricultural Society from about 1900 to 1925, Clerk of the County Court from 1885, agent for eight insurance companies, real estate agent with Hudson's Bay Land Development and a Mason. An ad he ran in the 1905 Henderson's Directory says in addition to real estate and insurance, Frank has "money to loan" and improved and unimproved farms for sale.
In 1909, Dobbs, as village clerk, received over a hundred applications in response to an advertisement for a constable that appeared in Winnipeg papers. The village's new constable would be Donald Findlayson.
Frank and Mary Dobbs moved into Winnipeg where he died in 1940, laid to rest New year's day, 1941. Frank, his two daughters Kathleen and Norah and wife Mary are all buried in the family plot in Shoal Lake Cemetery.

I am trying to find out current information on trophy bulls in Colorado by county. Can someone give me a tip as to where to find this info?
I am trying to find out current information on trophy bulls in Colorado by county. Can someone give me a tip as to where to find this info?
Look under statistics on the CO site. Cant remember if it gives point classes though?
Thanks Musket. The stats on the CDOW site break it down by GMU and do not have trophy info, but there is a lot of good estimated harvest info.
I appreciate the reply.
I would take a look at the Colorado MRS in Eastmans. They break down which counties are producing B&C heads.
You can quit your looking. It has to be Moffatt county that produces the most trophy quality BIG bulls. There might have been other counties that had the biggest bull but the most is definetly Moffatt.
Mesa county is at or near the top
A bad day in the woods is better than a good day at work.
Public Land Owner
Good info. Thanks guys.
I would say Mesa or Montrose county just because of the number of tags given out in units 40 and 61. Just my 2cents.

One thing to keep in mind about the harvest stastics that show up on the Parks & Wildlife site is that they are estimates only. There is no mandatory reporting and the surveys that they use are only given to a percentage of hunters...not all hunters. In the last 13 years that I have lived here, I can only remember receiving a survey 2 or 3 times (via an automated phone call).I'm sure they use date from Wardens and other sources, but my take is it is pretty spotty on how accurate it is.

Douglas and Las Animas lead the way. Not so sure about Moffat although some nice bulls come out of the northwest units.

I'm having issues with executing a Shell script via PHP on the server. What it executes is a shell script that runs a java program. The program runs just fine under the user account that PHPsuExec is trying to execute this on . relevant details are : System has 22GB of ram 12GB is free in caches. 15GB is free. LSWS : 4.2.2 PHP : 5.3.x PHP Memory Limit : 999M Application Memory Limit in the lsphp external app : 900mb in soft limit / 2200mb in hard limit I am really not understanding why the shell script is unable to execute and giving errors about not having enough ram.
I think you just keep increasing the limit. PHP itself uses memory as well, may not have enough memory left. you can also change memory limit with ulimit -v .... from shell, then try your PHP script.

Yeah that's what I was imagining, like a navy DB suit made from maybe a flannel or something else with a "wooly" texture and look and with some slightly subtle pencilstripes or not-too-prominent chalkstripes. Especially if the collars on the shirts are nice and spread, white would probably work best, but pale blue would also look nice.
The suit I had in mind with this is my E&R DB made of heavy duty holland and sherry twill in navy with a faint grey pinstripe. Though, I was also impressed at the way it looked when held up against my lighter weight navy herringbone suit. As for collars, I tend toward a very wide spread. I just love how a FIH on one of David's ties perfectly fills a wide collar without slipping so much as a millimeter over the day.

Caroline Town Board To Ban Fracking
Vote Set For Tuesday Night
CAROLINE, NY (WENY)---All that stands between a ban on hydrofracking in the town of Caroline is a vote by the town council.
That vote is scheduled to take place Tuesday night at 7 at the Caroline town hall. The town supervisor, Don Barber, has told our media partner, the Star-Gazette, he plans to vote in favor of the ban.
Two other council members plan on voting in favor of the ban with one council member opposing the ban. Attempts to contact the final council member were unsuccessful. If passed, the ban would block all forms of gas drilling--not just hydrofracking.
The council meeting will be preceded by a public hearing for the environmental impact statement drawn up for the ban.

What makes this red 8C different from any other 8C? The exhaust note has been described as "darker," which would aptly describe the Ferrari California's 4.3-liter direct-injection V8 that reportedly powers the rumored 8C GTA. Whether or not the GTA actually sees the light of day, we'd love to see additional speculation just for an excuse to post more 8C pictures.

The Rev. Jim Moos (r) next to Global Ministries Area Executive for Southern Asia the Rev. James Vijayakumar, with residents of Lisa Dila outside the new vocational school. |
This was the good news the Rev. Jim Moos brought back from his trip to East Timor in July.
"There were still some demonstrations and it was still fairly tense," he adds. "Some houses were burned, but there was no widespread violence."
This was the fifth trip to East Timor for Moos, pastor of Bismarck (N.D.) UCC. His purpose was to take part in last minute preparations for the opening of a new school in the village of Lisa Dila, about four hours south of Dili, the capital. The school would never have been conceived and constructed without the passion and zeal with which Moos tackled this opportunity, says Jan Aerie of the UCC's Wider Church Ministries.
In 2002, Moos volunteered his sabbatical time to Wider Church Ministries. "Where can I be useful?" he asked. The answer: East Timor, the first new nation of the 21st century and one of the poorest on the globe.
Moos was assigned to work with the Protestant Church in East Timor, a partner church of Global Ministries, the common mission effort of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) and the UCC. His trip to East Timor was his first Third World experience.
"My first impression was of the poverty," he says. "Immediately upon getting off the plane, it's so 'in your face.' Everywhere I looked, signs of the 1999 cataclysm were still very, very fresh. Rebuilding had barely gotten started."

By many accounts, Indonesian soldiers were brutal and undisciplined during the occupation. Up to 200,000 East Timorese died, many from starvation, sickness, and disease, as well as from the fighting. During the occupation, many East Timorese took to the hills to hide in safety. Among them was the Rev. Francisco de Vasconcelos, moderator of the Protestant Church in East Timor.
Finally, on Aug. 20, 1999, 98 percent of eligible voters participated in a UN-sponsored referendum, with 78.5 percent voting for independence. But as Indonesian soldiers withdrew, they and the Indonesian-backed militia began systematic raping, looting, burning and killing.
It took more than two weeks for UN peacekeepers to arrive. In that time, some 1,500 East Timorese were murdered, Dili was burned, and its infrastructure destroyed. An estimated 300,000 people fled for safety to West Timor, still part of Indonesia.
Working to earn trust
Most of the three months of Moos's East Timor sabbatical in 2002 was devoted to getting acquainted with the situation and the people and working to earn some trust.
"Only in our last two weeks there were we able to really get down to making some plans," he says. That's when de Vasconcelos took Moos and his wife, Sharon, to Sunday worship in the village of Lisa Dila. "After the service," says Moos, "there was a meeting of the parishioners and the villagers and we got to talking about ways that we might begin to work together, and they asked if we could help with a new school.
"The nearest school was about 40 miles away and there's no transportation. So we agreed to help."
Once back home, Moos worked with the Rev. James Vijayakumar, Global Ministries Area Executive for Southern Asia, to determine how best to help. Since funding was crucial, they established an independent, not-for-profit foundation, the East Timor Education Foundation. This 501(c)(3) foundation is a partner ministry of Global Ministries and independently funds the new school.
Then it was back to East Timor.
"One of the things I learned very quickly is that very often the people most affected by development projects are never asked what they think," says Moos. "That's why I keep going down every year, because you can't do business like this with a fax and an e-mail. You do business face-to-face to build a relationship of trust."
In for the long haul
One of his first questions was, "What kind of a school do you want?" Since the country's main occupation is subsistence farming, the villagers asked for agricultural subjects. Close behind were construction and basic health and nutrition. They also included programs for girls, since, says Moos, "That's a big problem in a patriarchal society."
Once plans were underway, the villagers donated 10 acres of land, cleared it and built a fence around it. Next came the school itself (30 x 90 feet), built of masonry with a sheet metal roof and divided into three classrooms.
Construction costs were about $42,000. Staff housing claimed another $22,000. A solar electricity system cost about $8,000, basic start-up equipment another $5,000. Moos expects annual operating costs to run about $15,000.
Moos's congregation in Bismarck, N.D., is a major supporter of the Foundation, as is the Northern Plains Conference, many Northern Plains individuals and congregations, and several ecumenical churches and individuals.
After five years of Moos' dogged determination and impassioned vision, school opened last year on Aug. 30. Tuition is free for the 40 sixth- through eighth-grade boys and girls.
"This is a long term project," says Moos. "The Timorese are learning to build an institution, because things like by-laws and management principles are absolutely foreign to them.
"Now we're thankful that the children are participating in the learning through the classroom as well."
The Rev. W. Evan Golder is Editor Emeritus of United Church News. He visited East Timor in 2005.

3-Step wall repair
As homes settle, cracks may radiate from the corners of doors and windows. Whether your walls are made of plaster or drywall, you can repair the cracks in two steps over a day or two—and get the area ready to sand and paint. Use paper tape; it's stronger than fiberglass tape for wall repairs. For cracks more than 1/4 in. deep, clean out the loose material and use a quick-setting crack filler like Durabond to build up the area level with the wall. Then use the steps shown in Photos 2 and 3 to fix it.

As you know, Mom's word is a pretty big deal around here. This time she said she was gonna kick my ass if I let Mother's Day go by without giving props to all of the amazing women in the world who raise their children with wisdom, grace, and love. It is in their honor that I present a handful of my favorite mama-themed tunes from the crates. Enjoy---and be sure to give Moms a kiss for me...
"Sometimes I Feel Like A Motherless Child"---Kathleen Emery
"My Momma And My Poppa"---Darondo
"Mommy, What's A Gravedigga? (Uptight Crate Digga Mix)"---Gravediggaz
"Answer To Mother Popcorn (I Got A Mother For You)"---Vicki Anderson
"Motherless Child"---O.V. Wright
"My Mom"---Chocolate Genius
"Mom's Revolver"---Omega One
Family members vik and Fresh also paid respect---be sure to check out their tributes as well.
Word From Your Moms:
"Love the whole world as a mother loves her only child."---Gautama Siddharta
9 comments:
How about EW&F's "Mom" or "Mama I'm So Sorry" by The Clipse. Those are other good ones. Liked what you picked out though homie.
That Kathleen Emery song is the greatest. I've heard John Legend and the original OV version, never that one.
- Scholar said...
Derek---It seems like there are an infinite number of Mom, Mama, Momma, Mommy, Mother tracks out there. I think my only true regret so far is not posting Betty Davis' "Your Mama Wants You Back".
Anon---I like John Legend's version, too---his live rendition at the Knitting Factory was pretty impressive.
O.V. did an older version of the song, but "Motherless Child" is actually a gospel song/spiritual that was written by J.W. and J.R. Johnson in 1926. - 9:05 PM
- soulpeeps said...
The true challenge is when Father's Day rolls around. There are practically no positive songs honoring fathers (after Luther's Dance With My Father, what's left?). Coincidence? I think not.
- Perttu said...
That O.V. Wright's song has been a favourite of mine for a while now, but it's good to hear Kathleen Emery's version. It's a different song altogether. I love how it builds steam and boils over towards the end when the horns come in. Good stuff.
Luther Ingram's "To The Other Man" should mos def be on that list. Dilla sampled it on "whip me with a strap" and gobstopper.
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=GPEZTUIK - 12:56 PM
- Scholar said...
soulpeeps---You're right---I can only think of a few songs that are flattering towards father figures. Never really thought of it that way.
perttu---Glad you like the Kathleen Emery. I thought it might be a bit too "eccentric" for a lot of my readers, so it's good to know someone else appreciates that version.
Anon---Thanks for dropping that link. I passed that track over because I've posted links to a couple of other sites who've featured that track recently. I'm sure that a lot of people still haven't heard it though, so good lookin' out. - 10:00 PM
- lord haha said...
scholar, keep on keepin on. i think that the work you are doing is great, keeping this music alive. i'm new to computers and just skimmed through. i saw public enemy in 84 or 85, an afternoon outdoor gig on the cricket pitch of trinity college dublin, ireland. they had the full sw1 thing and it goes without saying they wer def. i had been living in brooklyn for the two years previous to the show and was just back home for a visit, i can still remember how my friends reacted on their first exposure to rap and black culture, shock and awe. flavor flav went of on how we were all brothers and all that because he saw names like mcdonalds on his way from the airport. i used to have quite a collection of pe 12s and i also remember a great fight the power cut with a spike lee spoken word bit. where can i find that.

Some Corners...
Friends, I'm not going to lie...my house is jacked up. Big time. Almost every room is in disarray. There are very few spots that still retain vestiges of their (somewhat) normal state. Audrey's room, the kitchen, the dining room and the guest room are still pretty much ok, but the rest of the house, well...not so much.
I'm a visual person and a nester. I just am, always have been. Puttering around my house, tweaking things, setting them right, making little arrangements -- this is my hobby, my therapy, my refuge. So needless to say, I'm feeling a little unmoored of late.
As a coping strategy, I'm trying to focus on the wee spots of normalcy. Sort of like a woman in labor that fixates on a single object while she's breathing through a contraction (only without the mind-bending pain). Ok that might have been a stretch. See told you...unmoored.
Herewith some of the spots I'm taking refuge in. Let's call them the "spots of sanity", cool?

Oh! friend do I understand what you are going through! OH dear. I did this for three months, and my way of coping was to just ignore everything around me! It was hard, but I just tuned it all out, the workers kept saying "wow, you really have a great personality for remodeling!" Inside I was itching! Honestly, still not recovered, that is why I haven't posted photos yet, my brain can't handle the solitude...the clean...can't.compute. All this to say, I FEEL you sister. Sending you calming vibes.

do i spy the pool thru the kitchen window?! my coping tactic is "future fantasy land". just imagine your house put back together but better (if that's possible-your house is so good) after the mess. imagine littles splashing in the pool (no arguing!) and you enjoying it all (and a drink!) by the pool. it will all be settled soon...

I don't do well when the house is in disarray either. I'm thinking there is going to be a lot of that in the coming weeks and so I'm going to try your coping mechanism of focusing on "spots of sanity."
Audrey's room is so fun - glad I got to see the bunny poster and I'm thinking I need some greenery in my house. It just makes me happy looking at yours.

Detailed Description:
Hazardous drinking is particularly harmful in HIV-infected persons. It impairs the immune system, accelerates HIV disease progression, slows initiation of ART and decreases adherence. Thus, the development of effective alcohol treatments for this clinical population is particularly important. The investigators are proposing to investigate the effectiveness of ondansetron pharmacotherapy for the treatment of hazardous alcohol use and alcohol abuse/dependence among HIV-infected patients. Ondansetron, a 5-HT3 antagonist, will be studied for several reasons: 1) evidence of effectiveness in persons who want to cut-down or reduce their drinking and who are not abstinent at medication initiation; 2) moderate-to-strong effects among early onset problem drinkers, a characteristic that is over represented in our clinic patients; 3) a very mild side-effect profile, making it an ideal pharmacotherapy candidate in patients who are often receiving multiple other medications with significant side-effects; and 4) its primary indication is for treatment of nausea, a common side-effect of antiretroviral (ARV) medications.
The proposed study is a placebo-controlled, randomized clinical trial of ondansetron for the treatment of hazardous drinking and alcohol use disorders among HIV-infected patients recruited from the Baltimore/Washington area. Participants will be genotyped for a functional polymorphism of the serotonin transporter gene. They will be randomized to one of three treatment groups: placebo, low dose ondansetron (0.2 mg bid) and moderate dose ondansetron (0.8 mg bid). All subjects will undergo 16 weeks of pharmacotherapy in combination with medication management, and will be followed for 3 and 6 months after medication has ended.

"Nomade" is the third production in Cirque Eloize's nine-year history, and like the presentations of its more famous cousin Cirque de Soleil, it poses questions about what a circus can do both as entertainment and art.
"Nomade" is the third production in Cirque Eloize's nine-year history, and like the presentations of its more famous cousin Cirque de Soleil, it poses questions about what a circus can do both as entertainment and art. There are, of course, the amazing feats of balance and athleticism in the troupe's acrobatic acts: the tumblers, trapeze artists, hand balancers, aerial hoopsters; the higher and higher jumps from the teeterboarders; and contortionist Genevieve Gauthier, who can inspect the soles of her feet upside down — enough to keep little kids in the audience pondering something heretofore unseen in the adult world, and adults amazed at the near limitlessness of what the human body can do.
And Bartlomiej Soroczynski plays a bony pallid Big Bird to the more officious and ceremonial Nicholas Leresche in several clown acts that link commedia dell'arte to vaudeville, classic European clowning to Laurel & Hardy and Abbott & Costello. But for all its eye-catching, breath-baiting acrobatics, the true joy of "Nomade" lies in its second-act invitation to an all-night party. There, under a starry sky and a fat pearly moon so close you can count its pores, the revelers sit at a banquet table to watch the bare-chested Nicolas Roche wind his way up a rope and descend to snatch a wedding gown with his feet and twirl it upward like a gauzy tornado. Then Guillaume Saladin and Karine Delzors perform a pas de deux in half-darkness, their bodies glistening in a falling misty rain. It's then that "Nomade" becomes a source of dark wonder far beyond any act. There's something more evocative in the show's unearthing of a human root that goes far deeper than globalization's presumption of a one-world market. In this case it's a village wedding that could take place anywhere from Belarus to the Catalan region of Spain, with a couple of references to Fellini's poignantly scruffy processionals thrown in. Lucie Cauchon, Maria Bonzanigo and Charles Kaczynski's music has a strong gypsy feel played by merry onstage musicians, with Langis Turcotte adding impish and derisive klezmer licks on clarinet.Nomade

What I Learned From Getting Over My Fears in 2012
I had a blast last night during the webinar and enjoyed these tweets from listeners afterwards:
"Loved it! I have a page full of notes from the #GetAhead webinar :)"
"Listened to a great webinar by @AnnaRunyan (@classycareer) tonight! #Inspired #GetAhead"
I will be sending out the webinar recording today so make sure you register here and carve out some time to listen to the recording! I was totally motivated and inspired just preparing for the webinar and consolidating all of the information. I interviewed some awesome ladies in 2012! One of the things I went over last night in the webinar was what I learned from getting over my fear of video and introducing myself to other people. Before 2012, I had never even posted one youtube video so doing these Skype interviews was way outside my comfort zone!
Here are three things I learned from getting over my fears in 2012:
1) Women Want To Help Other Women
I learned in my 2012 challenge that almost everyone I emailed for an interview, emailed me back! Everyone I spoke to was super excited to help and wanted to give back as much as possible. Women want to help other women so if you are scared to reach out and connect with someone don't be! You will be surprised at what they may be able to help you with! They also referred me to other women and most of the time I didn't even have to email many of the women because one after the other they referred me to someone else to speak to! Which was awesome! It's always good when you have a referral from someone that they know because they are more excited to speak with you..
2) Don't Be Afraid To Ask
You never know what is out there unless you ask. What was awesome about my challenge is I could connect with women anywhere in the world. I live in San Diego and I interviewed one women in San Diego, but everyone else was outside of San Diego. It was awesome how Skype can really connect you and make you feel like you are having coffee together in person. My connections with all of these people are so much stronger because I did these Skype conversations rather than just talking to them over the phone or on email or social media. I then later in the year had a get unstuck webinar and when I emailed the women that I interviewed, everyone helped me promote it! So they all had my back because I made a strong connection with them over Skype and I could count on them. So these are the relationships I truly hope that you build in 2013. Whether its your friends, family or professional relationships, you want people who have your back and you can trust to support you no matter what!
3) Practice Makes Perfect
My first interview was not great. I was nervous. My lighting was terrible The sound on the interview was awful and I had to spend a few days fixing it so there wasn't an echo every time we talked. But, I did it and got over my fears. I practiced more and at the end of my last interview in 2012 I was totally comfortable on camera! I also got really used to introducing other people and I didn't stress anymore. So by the end of 2012, my interviews just flowed better and I think everyone was so much more relaxed because of it.
My mom is not going to be happy about me including this but I have to share this story because it is really funny. I love my mom and she has watched every single one of my interviews in 2012 so shout out to my mom who may be my biggest fan even though she is definitely not my target market!
So the funny story about my mom is that she told me in a very nice motherly way that the camera really does make me look fatter and I didn't look like myself on camera. So that was after my first interview and my husband nicely also mentioned this as well. He helped me move the camera a little higher so I didn't have a double chin in all the videos after the first one. So thanks to my technical team for helping me improve my videos each time! I learned that I can't be perfect. If I tried to be perfect the videos would never get out there for you to watch and learn from. So they were good enough in the beginning and got better every time I did it. The photo above is my very first interview and I was SO nervous! I wanted to share it with you today because I got over my fears and did it. And from then on it was so much easier!
I also have to thank my assistant Lor who wrote out all the transcripts for me because I didn't have the time. So thanks to Lor we can have all this information in text format as well! I have heard that many Classy Career Girl readers read my blog from work so they can't actually watch the videos and are really appreciative that I always include the transcript in the posts. (Don't worry ladies, I won't tell your boss!)
What have you learned by stepping out of your comfort zone?

Grounded in season opener, Stealth set to soar in home opener at Langley Events Centre
The Vancouver Stealth overcame some early adversity to lead at the half, but ultimately came up short in their season opener for the 2014 National Lacrosse League campaign.
The Stealth lost 13-12 to the host Colorado Mammoth at Denver's Pepsi Center on Saturday (Jan. 4) night.
Vancouver captain Kyle Sorenson was ejected in the first quarter due to a match penalty and while the Stealth killed off the ensuing five-minute power-play, playing one defender short for the duration of the game finally caught up to them.
"I think it showed late in the third and early in the fourth quarter when we tired a bit," said coach Chris Hall.
"We turned the ball over at centre a couple of times and they got a couple of runs on us."
"There's a lot of one-goal games in this league and the team that weathers the momentum storms and doesn't make those fundamental mistakes usually end up on top," Hall said.
"In the final minutes we made a number of those fundamental errors that ended up costing us."
The Stealth overcame surrendering the game's first two goals to lead 6-4 at the half and were up 8-5 early in the third quarter. But the Mammoth closed the period on a 5-1 run to lead 10-9 heading into the final quarter.
Each team scored three times in the fourth, but Mammoth goaltender Dillon Ward came up with a pair of huge saves in the final minute off both Lewis Ratcliff and Ryhs Duch to preserve the victory.
"I think in the last five minutes we turned the ball over at centre when we were being pressured," Hall said. "We didn't clear the ball well and those are the mistakes that cost you games in this league."
Hall was also impressed by the play of rookies Tyler Digby and Cody Bremner — who both scored in their debuts — as well as newcomer Alex Gajic.
Gajic led all players with one goal and eight points while Digby had three goals and three assists and was a force who helped create room for Duch, who finished with four goals and two assists.
"Offensively, I was really pleased with the performance of those three players," he said.
"We brought them to create more offence for us and they delivered."
The coach was also pleased with his defence, which limited the Mammoth to four goals in the first half.
Another factor in the outcome was the fact this was Colorado's second game of the season — they improved to 1-1 — while it was the Stealth's first game of the campaign.
"At times, they might have been a little game-sharper than we were with the one game under their belts already," Hall said.
"But having said that, I think we were decently sharp for the first game of the season.
"I think that is going to improve with our home opener."
The home opener goes this Saturday (Jan. 11) at the Langley Events Centre against the Minnesota Swarm.
Hall anticipates his players will be anxious to put on a good show for their new home crowd.
This is the team's first season in Langley after relocating from Everett, Wash.
"We expect to put on a good performance every time we step on the floor and our home opener is no different," Hall said.
"Obviously there will be a little added excitement to step onto the floor of our new home and that is going to be exciting.
"We are excited about playing in our new home on our turf and we want to put on a great performance."
As part of the celebrations to mark the Stealth's first game in Langley, there will be a pre-game festival at the LEC fieldhouse, which begins at 4 p.m.
The game starts at 7 p.m.
A ticket to the game gets fans into the pre-game festivities as well.
The event will feature, food, games, live music with the team's play-by-play broadcaster Jake Elliott conducting a hot-stove panel interview.
Fans can also meet the team's mascot, Bomber, as well as members of the Bombshells dance team.

The author is a Forbes contributor. The opinions expressed are those of the writer.
Asia represents "a good opportunity" for global businesses at a time when the U.S. and Europe economies aren't fully healthy, Thailand's CP Group billionaire chairman Dhanin Chearavanont said during a panel discussion last week at the Forbes Global CEO Conference held in Dubai.
Surveying the global economic landscape, Dhanin, who ranked as the world's No. 133 richest man on the Forbes Billionaires List published in March and was Forbes Asia's "Businessman of the Year" in 2011, said the U.S., though "absolutely still the leader of the world economy," has "a small flu."
Europe's economic outlook is a mixed bag, too, he said. Germany, for instance, " is still very good – it doesn't even have a cold," Dhanin said. Ultimately, countries faring less well at present such as Greece don't account for a large share of Europe's economy, the region on the whole "doesn't have cancer," and "will able to revolve its problems," he said.
Turning to China, where his CP Group is one of the country's largest overseas investors, Dhanin expressed optimism that economic growth would continue to lift incomes and spending in the world's most populous nation. Domestic needs represent a source of demand that authorities should work to stimulate, Dhanin said, speaking in fluent Mandarin Chinese while on stage.
"Definitely, domestic demand is an opportunity" in China, he said. To facilitate that growth, Dhanin said, Chinese authorities should make more financing available for small businesses and boost rural income.
Overall, Dhanin said, he was optimistic about the future. "Crisis brings opportunity," he said, encouraging delegates to make the post of today's business potential.
More than 400 global business and thought leaders shared opinions about current regional and global business problems at the Forbes Global CEO Conference. The event wrapped up on Oct. 23.
