Cabana Bay Beach Resort Orlando, FL
Glenn Rieder completed a comprehensive remodel of the Cabana Bay Beach Resort (part of Universal Orlando), a retro-themed hotel in Orlando, Florida. Our partners in the project were Universal Parks & Resorts, Daroff Design (designer), Lindsay Pope Brayfield Clifford (architect) and Balfour Beatty Construction.
Architectural millwork was the centerpiece of this low-rise public space that included fixtures, seating areas, a show-stopping staircase, bowling alley, TV lounge and various retail spaces. Using teak grain laminate and an assortment of vibrant paint colors, Glenn Rieder was able to transform this property into a must-stay resort for Universal.
A gorgeous curved monumental staircase, comprised of solid walnut lumber and a high traffic topcoat, highlighted the retro theme concept of the resort. Vintage bent glass display cases in the retail façade were fabricated with ultra clear tempered glass.
Glenn Rieder incorporated incredible two-story solid walnut lumber wall paneling, as well as custom serpentine desks with marble countertops for the registration, valet and concierge areas of the resort.
The highlight of the resort featured jaw-dropping lobby bar with backlit acrylic paneling, stainless steel accents and natural teak grain laminate. It also featured curved seating created with decorative metal.
The completion of the Cabana Bay Beach Resort marked our first project with Universal Parks & Resorts. It was a wonderful project and we were thrilled to work with such an incredible team.

MOUNT WASHINGTON - On a team with nine of the top 12 players from a year ago needing to be replaced, most coaches would enter this season with at least a somewhat cautious tone.

RE: illustration academy
"Draw your pleasure, paint your pleasure, and express your pleasure strongly." -Pierre Bonnard, 1867-1947
can't go to the Academy this year, so sad. I can't believe it has been a year already - I like to think I have improved a lot since this time last year. Just for fun I might dig up some pre-academy drawings for a "before and after" sort of thing....
Kim stopped by for a visit a few weeks ago and I saw Holly up here at the Illustrators' Club business & legal seminar last Saturday. Good times.
well I guess the illustration academy has offically begun of summer 07. I hope to hear some good things from Tyler.

Let me just say up front that this is a brain dump. Nothing I say here is meant to hurt anyone, judge anyone, change anyone or mess with anyone anyway or anyhow. It is just me letting out junk that is bouncing around in my head screaming to be let out.
Of the last five funerals I've been to, three have been suicides. One might have been accidental, but the other two were obviously not. One was not spur of the moment. It was very much premeditated. I don't know about the other. All three losses left, and continue to leave, huge holes in the lives around them. They physically ripped themselves away leaving behind bewildered, heartbroken, devastated people.
One still makes me cry almost every time it crosses my mind. I look at the family left behind and I feel a mass of messy emotions pour through me. The one that usually surfaces first is dismay, but anger follows a close second. Anger at what has been done to this beautiful group. Anger about what he turned his back on. And then the permanence of loss whirls it all together creating deep sadness.
Today, along with hundreds of people, I said good-bye to a classmate. Jimmy impacted so, so many individuals during his lifetime. His brother and father conducted the service. I can't imagine doing that. It wasn't a bit easy for them. They were very honest about that, but they were also open about Who was getting them through it. And, they acknowledged that the future would not be easy without their son and brother around. Neither tried to paint Jimmy as a superhero or perfect person. I didn't raise him, grow up in the same house, or live with him for 26 years like his father, brother, and wife did, but the Jimmy I have always known had a mega-watt smile and a kind or fun word. It looks like the last time we tangled on Facebook it was over him cheering on ut. I had to explain to him which university was the oldest in Texas and therefore the best. He suggested the dorms must smell pretty bad if they were that old.
His brother expressed his wish that he knew what Jimmy had been feeling, that he could have felt his pain and talked to him about it. Apparently, he had played it close to the vest. I understand that. I did it for a long time. Kept a smile going on the outside for those on the outside. I have no idea how it was for Jimmy, if it was something that had been eating away for a long time or if it hit overwhelmingly hard and fast. I just know he's gone and a lot of people are grieving.
His dad talked about I Corinthians 4:9 and being made a spectacle to the world. This choice has made them a spectacle and now the world will watch how they respond. He shared a quote from another pastor. "I want the kind of faith that when I'm chained and thrown into the deepest, darkest, most inner cell for something I didn't do I will still sing praises at midnight." This family has been flung into that cell. They know it will not be easy to sing praises, but they want to.
During my trip to Nashville I sat in my hotel room and watched a screener for a film coming out this month. One of the topics is suicide. I cried, some because of things I expressed earlier. I never dreamed I would be sitting in a funeral so soon and dealing with the same subject again. "Could I have done more?" is asked a lot by different characters throughout the movie. And here's my thoughts: Sometimes, maybe many times, the answer is "yes." Sometimes every possible thing that can be humanly done is done and the tragedy still takes place.
I think Jimmy's dad said it best with "If God doesn't intervene He has a reason."

Jesus is our example in sharing our faith with others. The following is a portion from the devotional, "A Good Witness," sent out by Truth for Life on November 7th.
…He is always witnessing—by the well of Samaria or in the temple of Jerusalem; by the sea of Galilee or on the mountainside. He is witnessing day and night… He witnesses under all circumstances. Scribes and Pharisees cannot shut His mouth; even before Pilate … Christian, make your life a clear testimony. Be like the stream in which you can see every stone at the bottom—not like a muddy creek where you can only see the surface, but clear and transparent, so that your heart's love for God and man may be visible to all. You need not say, "I am true"; be true. Do not boast of integrity, but be upright…
Do not watch the clouds or consult the wind; in season and out of season witness for the Savior, and if it transpires that for Christ's sake and the Gospel's you must endure suffering in any shape, do not shrink, but rejoice in the honor conferred upon you, that you are counted worthy to suffer with your Lord. And find joy also in this—that your sufferings, your losses, and persecutions shall make you a platform from which with more vigor and with greater power you will witness for Christ Jesus. Study your great example, and be filled with His Spirit…
These devotional emails are taken from Morning and Evening, written by Charles H. Spurgeon, and revised and updated by Alistair Begg. I highly recommend them. Subscribe to receive these daily emails from Truth for Life.

TPG reviews: The Swan Prince, by Danielle Shipley
Short yet sweet; highly recommended.
Catching her leg in a bear trap proves the least of Sula's worries. Haunted by an enchanted monster from a past she dare not reveal, and hounded by the perilously perceptive young village doctor, Villem Deere, the headstrong girl of the woods gambles with fate by binding hers to that of Sigmund, the captivating orphan boy with mysterious nightly business of his own.
My rating: 9/10
You're probably thinking that the above blurb sounds pretty awful. If so, I would agree. Thankfully, the book itself is decidedly better, and I would strongly recommend it to anyone who is after a nice quick read.
The Swan Prince follows the tales of two cursed royals, Sula and Sigmund, as they strive to break the enchantments that have befallen them. Sigmund needs someone to treat him like a prince for the duration of a long journey, whereas Sula requires the kiss of her true love before a year goes by. Out of both affection and convenience, the two decide to travel together. Close at their heels is Villem Deere, an ever-curious doctor on the search for the pair's secrets.
This is a very short book, which quick readers will probably finish in a day or two. For it's short length, however, I was enthralled. The Swan Prince features a very strong cast of characters, and the quality of writing on display is downright exceptional. It also features some very nice plays on traditional fairy tale tropes. The ending will surprise many, though inquisitive readers may well work it out ahead of time – the best sort of ending, in other words. Really, there is very little to fault this book on.
I should point out that there is very little action: there is no antagonist to speak of, and little in the way of fast thrills. So long as you expect this, however, I don't see it as being a major issue.
It is very hard to say anything bad about The Swan Prince. A few readers may be disappointed by its short length, but it's hard to complain when one takes its price into account. All in all, definitely worth looking into. The sequel, The Stone Kingdom, is already on my reading list.

Michael Lodge –
Taxpayers should choose their tax return preparer wisely – with good reason. Taxpayers are responsible for all the information on their income tax return. That's true no matter who prepares the return. Here are ten tax tips to keep in mind:
1. Check the Preparer's Qualifications. Use the IRS Directory of Federal Tax Return Preparers with Credentials and Select Qualifications. This tool helps taxpayers find a tax return preparer with the qualifications that they prefer. The Directory is a searchable and sortable listing of preparers with a credentials or filing season qualifications. It includes the name, city, state and zip code of:
- Attorneys.
- Certified Public Accountants.
- Enrolled Agents.
- Enrolled Retirement Plan Agents.
- Enrolled Actuaries.
- Annual Filing Season Program participants.
- California Registered Tax Preparers
Attorneys, CPAs and enrolled agents can represent any client before the IRS in any situation. Annual Filing Season Program participants may represent clients in more limited situations. Non-credentialed preparers who do not participate in the Annual Filing Season Program may only represent clients before the IRS on returns they prepared and signed on or before December 31, 2015.
For more information, check the Understanding Tax Return Preparer Credentials and Qualifications page.
2. Check the Preparer's History. Ask the Better Business Bureau about the preparer. Check for disciplinary actions and the license status for credentialed preparers. For CPAs, check with the State Board of Accountancy. For attorneys, check with the State Bar Association. For Enrolled Agents, go to IRS.gov and search for "verify enrolled agent status" or check the Directory.
3. Ask about Service Fees. Avoid preparers who base fees on a percentage of the refund or who boast bigger refunds than their competition. When inquiring about a preparer's services and fees, don't give them tax documents, Social Security numbers and other information. Some preparers have improperly used this information to file returns without the taxpayer's permission.
4. Ask to E-file. Taxpayers should make sure their preparer offers IRS e-file. Paid preparers who do taxes for more than 10 clients generally must file electronically. The IRS has safely processed billions of e-filed tax returns. However, you as a taxpayer may request that your return be mailed in, make sure it is by certified mail for tracking purposes.
5. Make Sure the Preparer is Available. Taxpayers may want to contact their preparer after this year's April 18 due date. Avoid fly-by-night preparers.
6. Provide Records and Receipts. Good preparers will ask to see a taxpayer's records and receipts. They'll ask questions to figure the total income, tax deductions, credits, etc. Taxpayers should not use a preparer who will e-file their return using their last pay stub instead of a Form W-2. This is against IRS e-file rules.
7. Never Sign a Blank Return. Don't use a tax preparer who asks a taxpayer to sign a blank tax form.
8. Review Before Signing. Before signing a tax return, review it. Ask questions if something is not clear. Taxpayers should feel comfortable with the accuracy of their return before they sign it. They should also make sure that their refund goes directly to them – not to the preparer's bank account. Review the routing and bank account number on the completed return.
9. Ensure the Preparer Signs and Includes Their PTIN. All paid tax preparers must have a Preparer Tax Identification Number (PTIN). By law, paid preparers must sign returns and include their PTIN.
10. Report Abusive Tax Preparers to the IRS. Most tax return preparers are honest and provide great service to their clients. However, some preparers are dishonest. Report abusive tax preparers and suspected tax fraud to the IRS. Use Form 14157, Complaint: Tax Return Preparer. If a taxpayer suspects a tax preparer filed or changed their return without the taxpayer's consent, they should file Form 14157-A, Return Preparer Fraud or Misconduct Affidavit. Taxpayers can get these forms on IRS.gov any time.
11. Client Data Security. Make sure your tax preparer has a taxpayer data security policy and plan in place to protect your tax data. If they do not have a program in place find a new tax preparer. Client data security is required by the IRC and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC). Tax preparers under the FTC are required to secure taxpayer data just as bank are to secure client bank data.
Taxpayers should keep a copy of their tax return. Beginning in 2017, taxpayers using a software product for the first time may need their Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) amount from their prior-year tax return to verify their identity.

When You Expect the Medical AttentionMost people have been through it. You are looking forward to an eventful, fun-filled weekend, yet Saturday morning greets you using a sinus infection. What direction to go now? Listed below are five great top reasons to visit any local urgent care facility for quick and reliable awareness of your illness or minor injury.
1. Quick Wait Times
Urgent care clinics are proud of offering many of the shortest wait times around. When you are sick, you don't want to ought to wait around to acquire medical assistance. At quick health care bills centers, most doctors often see patients within 20 mins. This means that your visit is shorter, providing you with more hours to spend the day the method that you wish.
2. Basic Preventative Medicine
Doctors at local centers can offer our health and wellbeing readings for cholesterol and blood pressure levels. Additionally they offer flu shots and do basic health checkups. These physicians also do routine blood work and x-rays.
3. Prescription Medication
If you need a basic prescription, your neighborhood urgent care provider can write site for you. You may realize that it's a reduced hassle to get a quick prescription from the clinic as opposed to to endure your doctor in a private office. Clinic employees often fill prescriptions for antibiotics, antivirals, and medicine for short-term treatment. Need frequent refills of medicine? Some clinics will help refill longstanding prescriptions every time a trip to your primary care physician isn't possible.
4. Insurance Options
Urgent clinics often accept a variety of plans. It is critical to take into account that the business often expects a co-pay at the start immediately following the visit. Sometimes, into your market will not be free as a result of location's overhead. Still, the price with your own money could be roughly precisely the same if your insurer will give you the lowest co-pay.
5. Supreme Convenience
Finally, you need to consider just how convenient urgent care centers are. Many cities have multiple locations, so almost always there is a business office near your home or work. If you unexpectedly get up which has a cold that wont quit or accidentally injure yourself, there is no better location to go.
If you're experiencing a significant emergency, like a suffocating feeling, seizures, poisoning, or another serious ailment, the urgent health care center ought to be bypassed and only emergency medical services. Although the quick clinic is the most convenient option, it is not equipped to handle serious or life-threatening situations. Please head to the nearest hospital or ER in those situations.
The next time you will need the solution for what ails you, visit the local clinic and experience convenient and reliable service. Save yourself the problem and price from the emergency room for those who have a non-critical issue to make a scheduled appointment with the local urgent medical treatment center.

What's that? The first time I saw this word was on a Mashable post, in which I was actually drawn to image of Tony Hsieh, CEO (or should I say "former CEO") of Zappos. I was thinking, "Oh! Where is he moving off to if he's no longer going to be CEO of Zappos?"
That's when I stumbled upon a new management system called Holacracy.
If you go to the Holacracy.org site, you'll see the chart below and more details describing the purpose and difference from other management styles:
"Everyone becomes a leader of their roles and a follower of others', processing tensions with real authority and real responsibility, through dynamic governance and transparent operations"
On the Holacracy Blog, there's a video interview with Twitter co-founder Evan Williams, who spoke about Holacracy.
He says Holacracy creates structure to allow people more creativity and freedom. It's the opposite of the "start-up" freedom, as Evan touches on the erroneous romanticisized view of start-up culture. Jonathan Rosenfeld, an organizational psychologist, is also interviewed in the video. He talks about all the conversations people don't have, doing cost-benefit analysis to put it off until the pain point is too great.
I know very little about Holacracy, but it is exciting to know that there are movements towards making the workplace a more fulfilling, productive environment for employees. It is spurring me on to reflect on the Fortune 200 company that I am currently employed at and what I can do or think about more broadly as options.
Holacracy is new and different, grounding breaking as a viewpoint towards corporate culture. Of course start-ups have less to risk by implementing Holacracy, but the stakes have risen on Wall Street now that Amazon's Zappos is making the move. And all of this — to me — is refreshing.

Some people value honesty and sincerity in songwriters, and so they like lyrics best when the singer's words seem painfully true and direct. Me, I prefer songwriters who lie boldly to my face.
For example, at the end of Robyn Hitchcock's "Autumn Is Your Last Chance" (as heard on his fine new CD/DVD set I Often Dream of Trains: In New York), he sings, "you're not there…and I don't care." Written out, those words sound almost snide, nearly punkish – which is yet another reason song lyrics are not the same as poetry. In the song, most of the lyrics are sung in a series of alternating shortish and longish notes, the long notes ending phrases, the short notes beginning them. But these words are sung, full-length, spread out over the length of an entire measure each, as Hitchcock's chords modulate far away from the two chords on which most of the rest of the song is based.
And in hearing them, it's achingly clear that the singer's never sung a less true set of words in his life.
Sometimes, you sing what you need to sing because you need to believe it. And perhaps, after a while, you believe it might be true. And it could be, a while later, it becomes true. And when it does, that is perhaps a sort of secular hell.

It can be just as satisfying to the birthday gift handmade is completely unique to them, it gives the birthday gift 50 years and consider the birthday gift 50 years of the birthday gift 50 years. In the birthday gift man a funny, creative and original gift that can match your feelings of boyfriend gift, present some funny gifts. Musical cards, count age wise roses attached tag with special message, chocolate box, shirts, T-shirts etc... or plan for a person interested in music then give loving songs CD, music player. Flowers with I love you, chocolate pack with decoration, love token. If he likes any particular sport or game, give him something that really stands out. Step outside the golden birthday gift and stock up on some really unique birthday gifts and generally have an awesome time. However, 18th birthdays are special occasion so you can easily choose a piece of jewelry from jewelry stores. There are a real daredevil challenge them to save. It is also a matter of choice-it is also worthy to judge the birthday gift 50 years a girlfriend or a wife. Even more nerve-racking than an annual performance evaluation done by your boss, thinking about that perfect gift ideas range from cookery demonstrations or wine tasting days at vineyards for 2 people, where you will probably think of engraved tankards etc. Although these make excellent 18th birthday glass token for 7.95. If you have already decided to purchase a birthday boy or a girl. You can easily find an ideal gift. First: consider the father birthday gift. Birthday newspaper, enfolded beautifully, is sure to gift him/her something new and special because he will be submerged with birthday gifts you may have to consider the virtual birthday gift. Birthday newspaper, enfolded beautifully, is sure to satisfy any sweettooth.

A New Doll... in the Works!
4 comments:
I love Santos dolls! And have a lot of 'raw' material to make a few. So, I will be very interested to see your 'take' on a Santos doll ...will it have a 'Santa' theme to it? Being funny here~ I saw some reproduction Santos dolls at American Harvest (the store) last fall in the city of Pleasanton, California, one of my favorite 'old town' cities to visit which is 150 miles from where we live. There used to be more antique stores in the city, but with the economy the way it is, the stores 'went under'.ReplyDelete
I truly hope the economy picks up for America...seems there are continual set-backs. I guess we just need to be thankful for what sanity we all still have.
Do have a blessed week, and I hope your workshop gets put back together again soon.
Teresa in Cloth and Clay
Hope you get order and serenity back in your work space...ReplyDelete
Looking forward to the Santos!
I have missed you for a while Waiting for your santo doll gave up on making one I did buy one on ebay. maybe I will try again Your blog gives me incentive LauraReplyDelete
I wish I had a little of your OCD. It seems my space is always in disarray. I love working in a nice tidy area, but it seems I need lots of "stuff" around me to feel inspired. If "my stuff" is all tucked away, I forget what I have!ReplyDelete

Sosiaalinen media, keskustelufoorumit, blogit ja ns. terveysjournalismi (eli terveys-otsakkeen alla kulkevat höpöhöpöjutut nettilehdissä) käyvät taas kuumina: onko kalori kalori vai onko vähähiilihydraattisella ruokavaliolla sittenkin ns. aineenvaihdunnallinen etu?
Tässä lyhyt yhteenveto pöhinästä, lukea sen kokonaan kaikkine linkkeineen jaksanee vain todellinen hard core -tyyppi, joka oikeasti haluaa ymmärtää, mistä on kyse.
total energy expenditure (TEE)
resting energy expenditure (REE)
Low-carb Metabolic Advantage Dogma (MAD)
Calorie Denial Syndrome (CDS)
"Things got a little crazy backstage at the 2012 Low-Carb Fashion Awards." (lainauksesta kiitos Anthony Colpolle)
Kohu alkoi tästä tutkimuksesta
Effects of Dietary Composition on Energy Expenditure During Weight-Loss Maintenance
Conclusion Among overweight and obese young adults compared with pre–weight-loss energy expenditure, isocaloric feeding following 10% to 15% weight loss resulted in decreases in REE and TEE that were greatest with the low-fat diet, intermediate with the low–glycemic index diet, and least with the very low-carbohydrate diet.
Michael Eades tweettasi
What is the real take home message from the recent JAMA article on the metabolic advantage? http://bit.ly/KXuEod
Eadesin linkki vei minulle entuudestaan tuntemattoman Peter Attian sivuille artikkeliin Good science, bad interpretation
This study reproduced a number of results which have been noted for decades:
- Low carbohydrate, high fat diets reduce TG and raise HDL-C more than other diets.
- Low carbohydrate, high fat diets improve insulin sensitivity more than other diets.
It never hurts to hammer those findings home again, but the really dramatic finding of the study was the impact of macronutrient balance on REE and TEE. To our (NuSI) counting, 81 studies over the past 80 years involving 4,094 subjects for more than 1.2 million subject-days have attempted to ask this question – many of them attempting to "prove" that all calories are created equally. While none (i.e., not one) have refuted the alternative hypothesis, most of them had enough methodologic limitations that it was difficult to know for certain if the type of food – rather than the number of calories – was playing an important role.
This study, while still limited (e.g., short duration, small sample size), makes one of the more compelling cases that all calories are not created equally.
Marion Nestle kommentoi Food Politics -blogissaan Does where calories come from matter to weight maintenance? A new study says yes, but I'm skeptical.
Under the relatively short, highly controlled feeding conditions of this study, the composition of the diet may indeed matter to metabolism. But does diet composition matter for weight maintenance in the real world?
Other longer term studies of "free-living" people out and about in their communities show little difference in weight loss or maintenance between one kind of diet and another.
More research needed!
Anthony Colpo kommentoi totutulla tyylillään (ja ensin perinteiset MAD-teesit toistettuaan) Finally, a Study that Proves a Low-Carb Metabolic Advantage? Yeah, Right…
So you can see that the true story is a little more complicated and somewhat different to the one low-carb shills are trying to portray. Rather than a clear-cut case of reduced drops in REE and TEE during a low-carb diet, the indvidual results are in fact much more haphazard, with some subjects in fact showing markedly greater drops in REE and TEE during the low-carb diet.
Meaning that if you adopt a low-carb diet expecting an increase in metabolism, based on the results of this study, there's a very strong possibility you'll be sorely disappointed. Heck, you may just suffer the same fate as other well known purveyors of this belief and be forced to don a belly-restraining girdle to hide the contradictory evidence hanging from your waist.
Evelyn Kocur aka Carb Sane kommentoi blogissaan What we really learn from Ebbeling et.al
Now for the bottom line take home message. Unless the researchers are lying to us by omission, within the macronutrient ranges investigated in this study:The quantity of calories mattered,The quality of those calories did not matter
Think about this one long and hard Gatewing and Gary Taubes and anyone still suffering from CDS (calorie denial syndrome), and perhaps go watch and rewatch the BBC program on YouTube I linked to HERE — and pay especial attention to the metabolic chamber study with the twins.Ebbeling et.al. may well go down in history for being more informative of what's wrong with science and "science" journalism than its ultimately inconsequential results. But rest assured … more study is needed, for a longer time … for more $$. Sigh.
Evelyn Kocur laittoi linkit BBC:n TV-sarjaan vähähiilihydraattisen ruokavalion – ja sen tutkimisen – historiasta. Sarja on katsomisen arvoinen, varsinkin CDS:ää poteville . Jaksoissa 1 ja 2 kerrataan vhh:n historiaa ja keskitytään Atkinsin teorioihin. Kiinnostavaksi sarja käy osissa 4 ja 5, joissa selvitetään tutkijoiden tutkimustuloksia aiheesta. Tutkimustulokset osoittivat Atkinsin teoretisoinnit virheellisiksi, mutta mielenkiintoisia asioita tuli kuitenkin esiin…
Oma kantani: olen avoin uudelle tiedolle, mutta tämän tutkimuksen aiheuttama reaktioni on sama kuin Nestlen: tarvitaan lisätutkimuksia, toistaiseksi olen skeptinen.
virtuaalikamu lähetti seuraavat lainaukset, joissa tutkimuksessa mukana ollut tri Ludwig kommentoi heartwirelle antamassaan haastattelussa:
"Senior author Dr David S Ludwig (New Balance Foundation, Obesity Prevention Center) told heartwire:
"Extreme restriction of fat or carbs can have bad effects. The best long-term approach will be to avoid restriction of any major nutrient-either fat or carbohydrate-and instead focus on the quality of nutrients. This is not to say that the number of calories isn't important, but it's now saying we should ALSO pay attention to the quality of those calories. So the argument that the food industry likes to make-that all foods can be part of a healthful diet as long as you watch calories-is really misleading at best. " Relatively unprocessed, low-glycemic-index foods are best, things that our grandmother would recognize. Choose relatively unprocessed foods whenever you can and cut back on white bread, white rice, potato products, prepared breakfast cereals, and, of course, concentrated sugars."
"With the low-carb diet, the researchers observed increases in CRP, a measure of chronic inflammation, and 24-hour cortisol, the key stress hormone, "suggesting that any initial advantages were eroded over time by these biological stressors," Ludwig notes. And the low-fat diet-as well as resulting in the least energy expenditure-"exacerbated many of the components of the metabolic syndrome, so insulin resistance, triglycerides, and HDL cholesterol were all worse on this diet," he explained. Hence the study, despite its limitations, "provides the strongest support for a novel concept, that all calories are not alike from a metabolic perspective. This has been postulated before, but never shown in this context," Ludwig says."

How Much Time Will YOU Spend Watching ABC This Fall?
May 15, 2013
Good day, happy dancers and the other people who look sullen by the side of the dance floor who can't bring themselves to just LET GO of their inhibitions!
Happy Hump Day to all of you! Whether you dance or not, you like to hump, am I right?
So…. this happened.
You probably have already seen that phenomenal technological breakdown of a poor restaurant owning couple on Facebook. It's magnificent. It's truly a work of art that belongs in a museum in huge Andy Warhol/tomato soup can sized prints and additionally local actors performing each status update in the center of the room with the episode of Kitchen Nightmares projected on a tower of TV screens. If you haven't read it then I think you should. I'm hyping it up quite a bit.
I'm also listening to Daft Punk's new album right now. It's free and streaming on iTunes. It's interesting. I've seen people debating whether or not it is "disco". It is disco. I'll end that discussion right now… IT'S DISCO! There's nothing wrong with that either. I think most popular music is more or less disco. Most popular songs on the radio are really just overly complicated disco songs. They follow the same formula as disco. Chick singer, singing about love, but it's really a dance song… That's disco. But Daft Punk is specifically more disco because I think it's actually just trying to be disco. It's a stripped down version of it all and shamelessly being disco. The single "Get Lucky" would've been an enormous disco hit if it existed back then instead of debuting like last week. I haven't gotten through the whole album – still have 20 minutes left – but I like "Get Lucky" a lot.
So… onto the title of the post.
ABC announced it's fall line-up. All the networks are doing it and since I spent some time on NBC the other day, I thought I'd give ABC some time as well. Which one is ABC again? That's the peacock, right? The old peacock ABC! … hmmmm… no that's NBC. NBC has the peacock. What's ABC got? Well, CBS is the eternal watching eye of Sauron and FOX is known for having it's old format of having animals attack things and now they have singing competition shows. The WB was a frog with a top hat, but turned into CW and I've never turned that network on again. Hmmmm… so ABC? ABC is just ABC, right? American Broadcast Company. Aren't they all American? I guess not, right? They're all rowdy communists and ABC is keeping it capitalist American. Fair enough… so what do they have for us this Fall?
8:00 p.m. "Dancing with the Stars"
Nope. I think I've seen one episode of this show. I watched one of the season finales, but I'm not even sure which one it was. There have been several celebrities – usually athletes – that I'm a fan of that have been on this show and I still haven't watched, so I doubt I'm going to start watching now. They would really need to change the format of simply ballroom dancing to more "You Got Served" style dancing. That I would watch. I would watch the Hell out of the Lachey brothers serving the Hough duo with a pair of former Pro Bowl wide receivers waiting in the wings.
I'd watch at least another episode.
10:00 p.m. "Castle"
Nope. Never.
My parents watch every network television program ever. I don't even know how it is possible, but they do. It's more so my dad watching them and DVRing them and my mom patiently watching them with him and her brain has been fully brain washed into thinking that some are worth continuing to watch. And this is one of the shows they watch… and my mom has actually gotten sick of it, which is saying something.
I've caught maybe 5 minutes of the show in total while watching the last few seconds of it on a re-run on TNT before the NBA playoffs start and it looks a lot like a less sexy "Bones". I don't watch "Bones", I don't watch "Castle", so I won't be flipping to ABC on Monday.
8:00 p.m. "Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D."
I'll watch at least an episode. I'm fully expecting not to like it. I have this suspicion that since I HATE all of the Marvel movies that feature the S.H.I.E.L.D. characters as regular contributors and the fact that I HATE the S.H.I.E.L.D. characters in general that I'll probably not be into this show. As far as I've seen, the S.H.I.E.L.D. characters are all entirely worthless in Thor, Iron Man, Avengers, et cetera. They're worthless characters who do nothing and now they're getting a show. I'll watch an episode, but I'm not guaranteeing much more than that.
9:00 p.m. "The Goldbergs"
JEWS! Who doesn't love a good Jew, right? Hunh… Holocaust? Spanish Inquisition? The Bible? Whaaaaaaa?
Anyway, I doubt I'll like this show. I haven't seen a trailer, so I'm not sure. I do like Jeff Garlin, but I really enjoy Jeff Garlin on "Curb Your Enthusiasm" and this is not going to be that Jeff Garlin.
9:30 p.m. "Trophy Wife"
This show looks like a repositioning of the actors from "Modern Family". Hot blonde with hot legs, hot Hispanic chick with a chubby boy child, and a few other good looking women then a stupid white son who has a similarly sized sister who is probably smart, but we've lost Ed O'Neill and the funny gay couple… unless Michaela and Marcia are lesbians… hmmm… Anyway…
I don't know. It doesn't look that interesting. I feel like I'm going to give this Tuesday line-up a shot for at least one week and then probably give up on everyone of these shows a week or two later.
10:00 p.m. "Lucky 7"
It's interesting because it's a drama. I haven't watched the trailer for this either, but it someways it sounds like the plot of "Windfall" which I never watched nor cared to and disappeared pretty quickly. It's about a group of people working at a menial job where they win the lottery.
So, comic book sci-fi to two family comedies to ensemble drama? Random Tuesday night of TV. SO MANY FEELINGS!
8:00 p.m. "The Middle"
8:30 p.m. "Back in the Game"
Sounds like a less interesting TV show version of that Clint Eastwood movie with Amy Adams "Trouble with the Curve". I doubt I'll be a regular viewer.
9:00 p.m. "Modern Family"
Still a great show. It has some off weeks, but usually they're quite good. Ty Burrell is always great and the kids have become really great as well. The show has a solid formula and strong enough characters to do many seasons to come.
9:30 p.m. "Super Fun Night"
Well… I wanted to see this show. It sounds decent enough with Rebel Wilson and her friends wanting to blow out their weekend partying to make up for having jobs during the week. I didn't watch the trailer, but I've seen some talk saying that it is pretty paint-by-numbers stuff and focused a lot on making weight jokes about Rebel. Sweet. I'll give it a watch, but if that's the case that it is bad then I'll probably just start DVRing "Modern Family" and watching something else entirely on Tuesdays.
10:00 p.m. "Nashville"
8:00 p.m. "Once Upon a Time in Wonderland"
Strike 1.
9:00 p.m. "Grey's Anatomy"
Strike 2.
10:00 p.m. "Scandal"
Strike 3.
YOU'RE OUT, ABC! Caught you looking, motherfucker!
So, I won't be turning on ABC on Wednesdays.
8:00 p.m. "Last Man Standing"
8:30 p.m. "The Neighbors"
9:00 p.m. "Shark Tank"
Not a bad show, but I don't watch it. I was watching it kind of consistently when I first started dating _dharv. I would drive up to her place on a Friday and spend the weekend. Friday was usually spent with us catching up in person at her place while Jeopardy and Wheel of Fortune were on. And then "Shark Tank" would come on at 8pm. We would usually catch some of it before going out and eating at a bar and then seeing a movie. Simpler times, am I right?
We actually tried to go see "The Great Gatsby" last night, but got REJECTED. First time that happened in awhile. Apparently, the 8:10 2D showing was what everyone was aiming for and we didn't expect that. Whatevs. Better luck next week.
10:00 p.m. "20/20"
Haven't watched "20/20" in years. My parents used to watch it all the time and thus my childhood was spent watching it. All I have to say about that is…
8:00 p.m. "Saturday Night College Football"
7:00 p.m. "America's Funniest Home Videos"
8:00 p.m. "Once Upon a Time"
9:00 p.m. "Revenge"
10:00 p.m."Betrayal"
Monday is 0 time. Tuesday is a possible 3 hours the first week and a possible 0 hours from then on. Wednesday is a guaranteed half hour with an additional half hour the first week and possibly never again. Thursday and Friday are big fat ZEROES. Saturday is a possible if I for whatever reason feel the need to watch college football on a Saturday night, which happens like once a year. And Sunday is a NOPE.
The grand total of time is????????
4 fours of television watching the first week…
1/2 hour of guaranteed television watching the following week…
I was honestly expecting a lot more than that.
Seriously? A half-hour and you're ABC?! Fucking unbelievable.
ABC is in 4th place right now and has been for the past year and a half or so. They cancelled the best show they had which was "Happy Endings" and I was a fan of "Don't Trust the B- in Apartment 23" and I did watch "Cougartown" for a period of time. I get that "Suburgatory" will be around whenever it is scheduled to come back, but wowzers. A half-hour? That's it.
So, are you more or less than a half-hour of TV watching on ABC?

That was an epic meltdown. I enjoyed that very much, even watched the 20 minute episode, which was awesome. I always thought a good way to spend your days after a lottery win would be to go get hired at a business with terrible, shitty bosses like this. And then just undermine them subtly at first, then with increasing vigor until you end your last shift shouting at them in front of the other employees all Norma Rae-like, telling them to go fuck themselves.
You know, as kind of a morale booster for the people who need the job and can't do it themselves. That's the kind of rich philanthropist lottery winner I'd be, if the gods are reading this and support that kind of mischief.
May 15, 2013 at 7:09 pm
Less. Less than half an hour of that is what I'll be watching.

Google has lately been bringing most of it's services over the iOS and Engadget has discovered that Google Now maybe next.
Engadget has discovered an alleged video that showcases Google Now on iPhone and iPad that is made in a similar style to how Google creates their videos. The voiceover sounds similar to the one used in other promos. The video highlights all of the main Google Now features and the service should be bundled within Google's iOS search app.

John Heyer and Brad Lander are fighting it out for the support of the conservative Hasidic vote in the 39th City Council district. Brad Lander has been hoping his ties to the ultra-orthodox, homophobic Dov Hikind will bridge the gap between Lander's anti-Israel views and his largely liberal views on gays and the Hasids. This devil's bargain between Hikind and Lander was at first working, bringing in Boro Park votes for Lander. But then Heyer came along. Heyer is being very honest with the Hasids, more honest about his conservative beliefs than he is on his website or when he campaigns in Park Slope. Some videos of Heyer discussing their social conservativism have popped up on Room 8 and on the Chaptzem blog. I think it is enlightening to hear Heyer in his own words, and comparing this with his website where he mentions little of his conservative views. So here he is, John Heyer uncut:
I find that Brad Lander's ties to Dov Hikind and his anti-Israel views don't play well in Park Slope. But I suspect neither will John Heyer's support for tax payer money going to private schools and his opposition to abortion. Three candidates fit the values of the majority of the district: Bob Zuckerman, Josh Skaller, and Gary Reilly. Lander and Heyer can compete over the conservatives. Hopefully the majority of the district will go for the other three.

Happy Wacky Wednesday!
Today is Dr. Seuss's birthday, so it would only make sense that the littles would have Wacky Wednesday at school. A day to dress completely silly and nonsensical and fit in because today wacky is "normal".
The funny thing is this isn't too far off of what my little 6 usually wears, but it was too cute not to share.
Is it bad that I hope to have to have the kid that dresses like this everyday?
The last two days have been filled with so many great people. Such blessings they are.
I'll be up late tonight packing for my getaway weekend to another home. I cannot wait to see my loves. Maybe I'll even sneak in another post tonight.
Hope you felt a little wacky yourself today.

The Department of Agriculture and Fisheries (DAF) will launch the National Inland Fisheries Development Program or Project Balik Sigla sa Ilog at Lawa (Project BASIL) with the release of 5-million fingerlings into Laguna Lake on Monday, June 19.
The Laguna Lake fingerlings seeding marks the week-long celebration of its 119th which will follow a brief flag raising ceremony in the DAF Central Office in Quezon City.
After the Quezon City ceremonies top DAF officials will motor to Los Baños, Laguna for the launching of Project BASIL which aims to seed the country's lakes, rivers and creeks with an estimated 200-million fingerlings of indigenous and non-invasive fish species.
The national fish restocking called Project BASIL, a program of the DAF through the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources, was approved and accepted by stakeholders of Laguna de Bay during a consultation held last month in the BFAR office in Quezon City.
The consultative forum which I personally presided was attended by about 50 stakeholders representing different groups including officials of the Laguna Lake Development Authority (LLDA), local government units, the National Anti-Poverty Commission (NAPC), the Dept.of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR), the Dept. of Social Welfare and Development, scientists from the University of the Philippines in Los Baños (UPLB), the National Agriculture and Fisheries Council (NAFC) and officers of the fisher folks group in Laguna de Bay.
LLDA General Manager Joey Medina headed a huge group of officials reprinting the government agency which manages the 90,000-hectare lake.
Four mayors were present during the consultation namely Cesar Perez of Los Baños, Popoy Rafanal of Pangil, Rolando Ubatay of Lumban and Armando San Juan of Morong, Rizal.
Other towns were represented by the municipal agriculturists.
Project BASIL is aimed at making food accessible to poor families living near the lakes, rivers and creeks as an initial step to address poverty.
It is also designed to ease up the pressure on the country's coastal fishing grounds which have been over-fished because of the reduced catch from inland fishing grounds.
Laguna de Bay was selected as the launching area because of the order of Pres. Rody Duterte to dismantle the fish pens in the lake which deprived small fishermen the space to put up fish cages and freely fish in the lake.
Following the recommendations by the scientific community represented in the meeting yesterday, the fingerlings to be seeded in the lake would include the indigenous Ayungin, Biya, Kanduli and Guramei and non-invasive and commercially profitable species like Tilapia and Bangus.
Freshwater shrimps or "Ulang," native catfish and mudfish will also be propagated for seeding in the lake.
The LLDA committed to address the violations of commercial establishments located around the lake which dispose their effluence or wastes into Laguna de Bay.
The local government units were tasked to monitor the continued dumping of wastes into the rivers flowing into the lake while fisher folk groups were tasked to undertake the clean up of the lake by picking up wastes and plastics floating in the lake.
Fisher folk families involved in the clean-up of the lake will receive incentives from the DA-BFAR, a program which is also aimed at providing them with sources of income during the period that the fish will not be ready for harvest.
The DA-BFAR also committed to provide at least 200 units of FB Pagbabago fiberglass fishing boats to the first group of fisher folks who will be engaged in the program.
The Agricultural Credit Policy Council (ACPC) will also include the fisher folk families in the Production Loan Easy Access (PLEA) to provide them with initial working capital.
The local government units were also encouraged yesterday to establish mangrove areas and fish sanctuaries, including hatcheries for indigenous fish species to make the program sustainable and inclusive.
After the launching of Project BASIL in Laguna de Bay, the program will also be started in other lakes and rivers of the country.

"What is your goal? What is your next adventure?" Asked the self-help book I had just downloaded. The answers were all material: travel, money, things, white noise of busyness, distracting us from inner loneliness or fear of death.
Failed again, I think. In the eyes of the book, my puny desires look pathetic. Do I fail because I am content? Not striving for the mountain peak?
But then again, do I have the god-given right to take whatever I want, deplete the planet's resources, icing everything with carbon emissions, spread like fairy dust.
We do or want most things to make us feel a particular way, happy, fulfilled, stretched. Sure I get these from my favourite, watching the sun set over the Golden Gate Bridge. Time pauses and I just AM, caught like a pearl drop on time's chain. For a moment just right. And it is today, not any other day, this moment that I freeze frame in my heart.
Surely, the real trick is to get that feeling from the immediate, the local – sun setting over our lake, milky soft in the evening light or broken, serrated by small waves. Just stop, be present. No flights, no expense, just walking to the nearby park.

•Leadership Qualities
Interest in leadership increased during the early part of the twentieth century. Early leadership theories focused on what qualities distinguished between leaders and followers, while subsequent theories looked at other variables such as situational factors and skill levels. While many different leadership theories have emerged, most can be classified as one of eight major types: 1. "Great Man" Theories:
Great man theories assume that the capacity for leadership is inherent – that great leaders are born, not made. These theories often portray great leaders as heroic, mythic and destined to rise to leadership when needed. The term "Great Man" was used because, at the time, leadership was thought of primarily as a male quality, especially in terms of military leadership. Learn more about the great man theory of leadership. 2. Trait Theories:
Similar in some ways to "Great Man" theories, trait theories assume that people inherit certain qualities and traits that make them better suited to leadership. Trait theories often identify particular personality or behavioral characteristics shared by leaders. If particular traits are key features of leadership, then how do we explain people who possess those qualities but are not leaders? This question is one of the difficulties in using trait theories to explain leadership. 3. Contingency...

Court of Appeals of Minnesota
August 26, 2013
State of Minnesota, Respondent,v.Isaiah David Pirtle, Appellant.
Ramsey County District Court File No. 62-CR-12-469
Lori Swanson, Attorney General, St. Paul, Minnesota; and John J. Choi, Ramsey County Attorney, Thomas R. Ragatz, Assistant County Attorney, St. Paul, Minnesota (for respondent)
David W. Merchant, Chief Appellate Public Defender, Benjamin J. Butler, Assistant Public Defender, Daniel Weber (certified student attorney), St. Paul, Minnesota (for appellant)
Considered and decided by Kalitowski, Presiding Judge; Worke, Judge; and Chutich, Judge.
CHUTICH, Judge
On appeal from his conviction of possession of a firearm by an ineligible person, appellant Isaiah David Pirtle contends that the district court erred in denying his motion to suppress the gun. He asserts that police officers violated his constitutional rights when they seized him without reasonable, articulable suspicion that he was involved in criminal activity. Because police officers found the firearm during a lawful search following Pirtle's flight from officers, we affirm the district court's denial of Pirtle's motion to suppress the gun and his conviction.
The facts of this case are undisputed. One morning in January 2012, St. Paul Police Sergeant Dan Zebro was driving in an unmarked police car when he saw two men near the bus shelter at the corner of Lexington and University Avenues. Sergeant Zebro knew that a police investigation of narcotics trafficking in the previous week involved one of the two men. He therefore requested that nearby patrol officers approach and identify the men.
Officer Heather Teff was the first to arrive at the bus stop, followed by Officer Jason Bain. Officer Teff asked the men if she could speak with them; the men did not refuse and one of the men, Pirtle, conversed with Officer Teff. While the officers were speaking with the men, the men were inside the bus shelter, facing the street, and the officers were standing in front of the men with their backs to the street. Officer Teff asked the men if they had seen anyone harassing an elderly woman at the bus stop. The officer had no report of any harassment, but used the question to initiate conversation. The men said that they had not seen anyone harassing an elderly woman, and continued speaking with the officers.
When Officer Teff asked the men for identification, Pirtle told her that his name was Isaiah Williamson; he was from Cedar Rapids, Iowa; he was in town visiting a friend; and that the person with him was his cousin. The second man gave his name as Maurice Dixon. Pirtle told Officer Teff that he did not have a phone number, but later took out a cellular phone and used it. Officer Teff testified that Pirtle appeared nervous and his hands were shaking.
Officer Bain ran a check of the names provided by the two men through the police system. The check returned results of "not on file" for both names which, Officer Teff testified, is a common indicator that a person gave a false or incorrect name. Pirtle then asked Officer Teff if he could go into a nearby restaurant to use the bathroom. Officer Teff responded that he should wait and told him that they were "almost done."
When Officer Teff moved towards her squad car to inform Sergeant Zebro of the unverified names the men provided, Pirtle began to run west on University Avenue. Officer Todd Bjorkman, who was in a squad car near the scene at the time, tried to stop Pirtle. The officer got out of his car, ordered Pirtle to stop, and attempted to restrain him. Pirtle then pushed or kicked Officer Bjorkman and resumed running. Officer Teff arrived and blocked Pirtle's path, and Officer Bjorkman restrained him. After the officers handcuffed Pirtle, he informed them that he had a pistol in his jacket and they removed a .22 caliber revolver from his pocket.
Charged with possession of a firearm by an ineligible person, Pirtle moved to suppress the gun, claiming that the seizure was illegal. The district court denied Pirtle's motion, finding that although Pirtle was seized at the bus stop when he asked to use the bathroom and was told by Officer Teff to wait, the officer "had specific facts giving rise to reasonable suspicion of criminal activity afoot." The totality of the circumstances cited by the district court included information that one of the two men was involved in a recent drug investigation; the officers' name check of the men returned a "not on file" response—a common indicator of a false name; and Pirtle's ...

Ten Random Things About Me
Ten random things you may not know about me:
1.) I was an extra in the 1980s movie, American Anthem. (If you look really, really, really, really, really, really hard, you can see me in the stadium crowd.)
2.) I'm a direct descendant of Geronimo. (A few of you knew that already.)
3.) I was in the 1996 swimsuit issue of Glamour Magazine. (I was NOT in a swimsuit, though. I was in an article with Eric about our upcoming wedding.)
4.) When I was 2-years-old (I think), I had stitches inside and outside my mouth for climbing up the back of a folding step-ladder. It folded on my mouth! I still have a faint scar.
5.) While we're talking about scars, I still have a pinhead-sized rock in my right knee from when I fell down the stairs at church as a child. (I was an active kid!)
6.) I can't whistle.
7.) I have an ugly toe. (Just one.)
8.) I met and had my picture taken with presidential candidate Sen. John McCain when I was in high school.
9.) I played intramural soccer for my dorm in college. I played right fullback. We were pretty good.
10.) In college, I completed line dance lessons and became a Dry Gulch Dancer, participating in line dance competitions at bars and county fairs. After college, I taught senior citizens how to line dance at a retirement home. One of the ladies wanted to call our group, "The End of the Line."
Okay, so I won't tag any of my blogger friends, but I'd love read your random facts when you get the time to blog.

Me neither. And incidentally, I'd like to know what constitutes an "ugly toe". Is that "horribly deformed" or "slightly less cute"? :)

My "ugly toe" is a fungus toenail on my left footthat I've had all my life, but it's never spread to any other toes. I've always called it an "ugly toe." It's only really hideous if I don't keep the nail filed down and don't keep nail polish on it. I can hide it somewhat with nail polish and glitter polish.

Hmmm, I wonder if the polish and glitter thing would work for Billy's ugly toes?
Yeah right, like I would even contemplate having glitter in the house!!!!

I was in American Anthem, too! I bring it up EVERY summer olympics! I remember watching Janet Jones (aka Mrs. Wayne Gretzke) PRETEND to be a gymnast while a body double would come in and take her place! I LOVED Mitch Gaylord! What a terrible movie, though, huh?? :)

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) -- Yum Brands Inc.'s YUM, +0.79% Taco Bell Corp. unit Monday evening said independent laboratory test results have concluded that no sample of ingredients served in its restaurants contained E. coli bacteria 0157:H7, which has been linked to dozens of illnesses. Earlier preliminary test of green onions that "presumptive positive" for E. coli have now been confirmed negative by the Food and Drug Administration. The FDA and Centers for Disease Control have indicated that the bacteria found in an open bin of white onions has no relation to the outbreak in New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Delaware and is a different strain, according to Taco Bell. The majority of Taco Bells that were voluntarily closed have been re-opened, and the company is working to reopen the remainder. Taco Bell added that it recently changed its produce supplier to Taylor Farms in the four states as a precautionary measure.

Lies (Gone #3)
It's been seven months since all the adults disappeared. Gone.
It happens in one night. A girl who died now walks among the living; Zil and the Human Crew set fire to Perdido Beach; and amid the flames and smoke, Sam sees the figure of the boy he fears the most: Drake. But Drake is dead. Sam and Caine defeated him along with the Darkness–or so they thought.
As Perdido Beach burns, battles rage: Astrid against the Town Council; the Human Crew versus the mutants; and Sam against Drake, who is back from the dead and ready to finish where he and Sam left off. And all the while deadly rumors are raging like the fire itself, spread by the prophetess Orsay and her companion, Nerezza. They say that death is a way to escape the FAYZ. Conditions are worse than ever and kids are desperate to get out. But are they desperate enough to believe that death will set them free?
It's been months since they were trapped in the FAYZ, The Fallout Alley Youth Zone. In the previous book, Hunger, the kids are starving each day. In this book, though the food is scarce, they were not as starve as before. Albert, as always have been the one who still keep things running when everyone is out panicking. Though he have that trait that is quite important when in need, I still think he is selfish though. But at least he is better at the end, not quite but better.
As it has been in the two previous books, the plot is always interesting, fast and keeps making you turn the pages. It's exciting and keeps me on the edge of my sit!
All the burdens and responsibility finally make Sam has his breakdown. He ran away and distance himself from everyone, especially Astrid. Though it sounds quite irresponsible and selfish, no one can really blames him. He is only 15 anyway. With all that burden and expectations, it's a wonder he didn't beak down earlier. I am quite relieve though that he went away. He finally has a break time and Astrid too, finally reflect on her mistakes. I like Astrid more in this book. She finally work out a system and though it's not perfect but at least it's going to hold them for a while longer. Who know what will happen next anyway? Seems like everytime they are holding it together, they will be thrown into something else and things broke down again.
I love the different point of view in this series. It's rare that you got to read the POV of different characters. So it really makes this book unique.
Caine hadn't done a lot in this book. Mostly he just manipulate people to do his work, as always. This time it's Zil. Zil was furious because he was manipulated. Nothing he could do anyway with Caine's power up his nose. I'm feeling quite sorry for Diana, Caine's girlfriend. She is tired of it all. I actually admire her for her braveness though sometimes I think she's a fool for following Caine at the first place. Caine, I think he is screwed up, like most of the people in this book. I really feel like going in there and knock them all up and stop them from all the stupidity and immatureness. But first, I will have to survive and don't go crazy in there.
Overall, this book is my favourite from the first three. The plot are more aggressive and I can't wait to read the next book. Hell, I actually can't wait to read the last book to know where this story is going. Michael really sew up a great story. To you guys who haven't read this book, you are missing a lot. Gone is that rare kind of book that can easily stand beside Harry Potter, Percy Jackson, Hunger Games and such.
With that, be Gone now.

Drug abuse : editor's commentSource: CME : Your SA Journal of CPD 29 (2011)More Less
A couple of weekends ago I went to Durban to watch the Comrades marathon and support members of my running club. I have never watched Comrades in person before and it was definitely a worthwhile experience. To my husband's great relief it has cured me of ever wanting to do the run myself, but it was wonderful to watch in person and experience the atmosphere in the oval in Pietermariztburg at the end of the race.
Pharmacology : guest editorialAuthors: Mark Blockman and Cohen KarenSource: CME : Your SA Journal of CPD 29 (2011)More Less
An adverse drug event (ADE) is harm or injury caused by the administration of a drug. The World Health Organization definition of an adverse drug reaction (ADR) is any noxious, unintended, and undesired effect of a drug that occurs at doses used in humans for prophylaxis, diagnosis, or therapy.
Common adverse drug reactions with psychiatric medications and an approach to their management : main articleAuthor Christopher P. SzaboSource: CME : Your SA Journal of CPD 29, pp 230 –232 (2011)More Less
Adverse drug reactions are defined as an 'unexpected, unintended, undesired or excessive response to a drug', which would include 'allergic reactions and idiosyncratic reactions that are an abnormal susceptibility to a drug peculiar to the individual'. It is important to understand that psychiatric medications, as with medication generally (including non-prescription compounds, e.g. St John's Wort), carry a risk of adverse reactions. For example, a major concern with St John's Wort is that of interactions with conventional drugs, including selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, due to induction of the cytochrome 'P450 enzyme system.

Antiretroviral adverse drug reactions and their management : main articleAuthor Catherine OrrellSource: CME : Your SA Journal of CPD 29, pp 234 –237 (2011)More Less
The 2010 South African ART guidelines recommend the use of tenofovir (TDF) and lamivudine (3TC) with efavirenz (EFV) or nevirapine (NVP) as first-line therapy for treatment-naïve adults starting antiretroviral therapy. Second-line therapy is determined by the NRTI choice in first line. Patients on a first-line regimen with TDF will be prescribed lopinavir / ritonavir (LPV/r), zidovudine (AZT) and 3TC while patients on a first-line regimen with AZT or d4t will receive lopinavir / ritonavir (LPV/r), tenofovir and 3TC. Other antiretrovirals commonly used in the private sector are abacavir (ABC), atazanavir / ritonavir (ATV/r) and the recently registered darunavir / ritonavir (DRV/r). Newer antiretrovirals, used for more treatment-experienced patients, are still in the registration process, such as the second-generation NNRTI etravirine (ETV) and the integrase inhibitor raltegravir (RLT).These drugs may be prescribed for patients with limited treatment options subject to MCC approval on a case by case basis.

Early recognition and withdrawal of the offending drug improves outcomes in the management of severe cutaneous adverse drug reactions (CADRs). How can the diagnosis be made and what tools are useful in assigning causality? In this article I will discuss the clinical features of certain characteristic CADRs and the laboratory tests that may expedite the diagnosis.
Drug-induced liver injuries : main articleAuthor Mark W. SonderupSource: CME : Your SA Journal of CPD 29, pp 244 –246 (2011)More Less
Drug-induced liver injury (DILI) is a term increasingly being used by most clinicians and is synonymous with drug-induced hepatotoxicity. A succinct definition of a DILI is 'a liver injury induced by a drug or herbal medicine resulting in liver test abnormalities or liver dysfunction with a reasonable exclusion of other potential aetiologies'. DILIs are a recognised and clinically significant cause of acute, acute-on-chronic and, less commonly, chronic liver disease. The vast majority are idiosyncratic reactions in contrast to the less common dose-dependent predictable injury to drugs, such as paracetamol in overdose.
Pharmacovigilance : the devastating consequences of not thinking about adverse drug reactions : main articleAuthor Ushma C. MehtaSource: CME : Your SA Journal of CPD 29, pp 247 –251 (2011)More Less
A meta-analysis of 69 prospective and retrospective studies conducted in various regions of the world involving 419 000 patients found that approximately 6.7% of all hospitalisations were as a result of ADRs. A recent observational study conducted in the medical wards of a secondary hospital in the Western Cape estimated that 6.3% of hospitalised patients were admitted as a direct result of an ADR, while a further 6.3% of patients developed a significant ADR while in hospital. More than half of the ADRs that occurred in patients in the community were considered to be preventable with improved prescribing, administration, monitoring and adherence.
Drug-induced renal injury : main articleAuthors: Eric Decloedt and Gary MaartensSource: CME : Your SA Journal of CPD 29, pp 252 –255 (2011)More Less
The kidney receives a rich blood flow of 25% of resting cardiac output and plays an important role in the elimination of many drugs and their metabolites. The kidney is therefore exposed to high concentrations of drugs and metabolites, making it vulnerable to drug toxicity. It is therefore not surprising that drug-induced renal injury contributes up to 25% of all cases of acute renal failure. Drug-induced renal injury may cause predictable, cumulative dose-dependent toxicity or idiosyncratic dose-independent toxicity at any time during therapy. Cumulative dose-dependent renal toxicity can be anticipated and prevented, but idiosyncratic renal toxicity cannot. A basic understanding of drug-induced renal injury will help to better understand drug-induced renal toxicity and allow for a vigilant approach when prescribing drugs with potential renal toxicity. Renal injury may occur in various renal compartments: the renal vascular supply, the glomerulus, the tubulointerstitium where extensive tubular-peritubular caplliary exchange of solutes takes place, and the collecting ducts.

Egg allergy and immunisation in children : more about... pharmacologyAuthors: Di Hawarden and Sarah KarabusSource: CME : Your SA Journal of CPD 29 (2011)More Less
Hens' egg (HE) allergy is common in infancy and childhood (±2%), but the majority of children become clinically tolerant by the time they start school. Of concern is the whether the recommended immunisation schedule should be followed in children with a possible / proven HE allergy. The overall incidence of anaphylaxis from all vaccines is less than 1 per million doses. Most cases of anaphylaxis occur in HE-allergic children.
Thinking about the balance between risk and benefit when prescribing : more about... pharmacologyAuthor Andy ParrishSource: CME : Your SA Journal of CPD 29 (2011)More Less
When writing a prescription, we are taught to balance the risks and benefits of each drug prescribed. We think about the risk benefit ratio as if benefits are secured and risks are a shadowy but unlikely eventuality. In fact, benefit is also best thought of as a probability.

Another journal issue I am going to weed out is the March 2012 PMLA (127:2). Interesting things in it include (but are of course not limited to) discussions of periodization — it seems it is going out more than I realize, and that many FL programs are plagued with "presentism." This is interesting. There are also several discussions of the "ethnic archive," including indigenous archives and the "New Indian."
There is an article by Kirsten Silva Gruesz, "What was Latino literature?", about the Norton anthology, its discontents and its implications. Greuz published a book on the trans-American origins of Latino writing (Princeton 2002) and is working on another, on the cultural history of Spanish in the US. Other work of hers is on Spanish language print culture in the US and the transnational Gulf of Mexico, so she is very interesting.
Nick Kanellos has an article in here, too, called "Recovering the US Hispanic Literary Heritage" (371-374). The article title is the name of an actual program, founded in 1992. It does not envision "Latino" as a subculture but as a transnational identity … for Latinos in the US and probably, for the US as a whole, he says. He points out (371) that Spanish is the majority language in the hemisphere, and that Hispanics will soon make up more than a third of the US population.
His article is very interesting and makes several key points. For instance: "…Hispanics became a colonized society under American expansionist and racial ideologies that were used to justify the domination and suppression of the native populations as well as the large-scale importation of cheap labor from the Caribbean and south of the border, once slavery was abolished in the United States." (372)
Continuing: studying ideologies of racial and cultural superiority like manifest destiny also helps us to understand why little care was taken to recognize and preserve Hispanic texts. Even recently, the NEH has perpetuated the exclusion of Hispanic writings from US cultural history; its US Newspaper Program made little effort to preserve Spanish-language periodicals in the United States.
Looking at the archive it is clear how central Latinos are in US history, yet funding is typically denied for projects having to do with this history since it is considered "foreign" or "minority." Since so little preservation is funded, the history gets effectively erased.
Here is the website of Kanellos' recovery project. They are having a conference in Houston on a Friday and Saturday in October, and I am tempted to go.

In Pandemic several virulent diseases have broken out simultaneously all over the world! The players are disease-fighting specialists whose mission is to treat disease hotspots while researching cures for each of four plagues before they get out of hand.
The game board depicts several major population centers on Earth. On each turn, a player can use up to four actions to travel between cities, treat infected populaces, discover a cure, or build a research station. A deck of cards provides the players with these abilities, but sprinkled throughout this deck are Epidemic! cards that accelerate and intensify the diseases' activity. A second, separate deck of cards controls the "normal" spread of the infections.
Taking a unique role within the team, players must plan their strategy to mesh with their specialists' strengths in order to conquer the diseases. For example, the Operations Expert can build research stations which are needed to find cures for the diseases and which allow for greater mobility between cities; the Scientist needs only four cards of a particular disease to cure it instead of the normal five but the diseases are spreading quickly and time is running out. If one or more diseases spreads beyond recovery or if too much time elapses, the players all lose. If they cure the four diseases, they all win!
The 2013 edition of Pandemic includes two new characters the Contingency Planner and the Quarantine Specialist not available in earlier editions of the game.

Arborizing vessels in a targetoid hemosiderotic hemangioma: mistaken dermoscopic diagnosis of basal cell carcinoma.
- Authors:
- María L Enei,
- Francisco M Paschoal,
- Rodrigo Valdes
Dermatol Pract Concept 2017 Jan 31;7(1):43-47. Epub 2017 Jan 31.
Institute of Histopathology, Histonor, Antofagasta, Chile.
Targetoid hemosiderotic hemangioma (THH) or hobnail hemangioma (HH) is a benign vascular lesion that presents with the classical clinical presentation of a ring-shaped tumor having a targetoid appearance, with a central purple-brown papule surrounded by a thin pale area and an ecchymotic ring on the outside. Dermoscopic features and patterns of HH have been documented and have proven to be sufficient to establish a clinical diagnosis in many cases. We present a facial lesion in which both the clinical presentation and dermoscopy were atypical. Read More
