Happy Birthday! 10 Reasons we love Lee Bo Young
Today is Lee Bo Young's birthday! The talented actress turns 36 today (37 Korean age), so let's celebrate by taking a look at some of the many reasons we love Lee Bo Young:
1. She has a gift for humor
Lee Bo Young won over viewers as the hilariously obstinate Jang Hye Sung in I Hear Your Voice. Her saucy attitude in the role helped carry the show to immense popularity.
2. She's willing to try a variety of characters
Rather than sticking to just one type of character, Lee Bo Young has done a range of roles. For example, she most recently took on a melodramatic role as the mother of a young girl who was murdered in God's Gift — 14 Days.
3. Her natural elegance
Did you know that Lee Bo Young won Miss Daejeon in the Miss Korea pageant in 2000 before she made her debut as a model and actress? No wonder she has such a natural air of grace about her!
4. She and Ji Sung are the most adorable celebrity love birds
Lee Bo Young and husband Ji Sung first met on the set of Save the Last Dance for Me back in 2004, and they finally married in 2013. When asked about their relationship, Lee Bo Young has said that she initially rejected Ji Sung many times because he wasn't her type, but he eventually won her over because of his "very beautiful heart." Awwwww. So sweet! They are always very supportive and loving of each other in interviews.
5. She has a great sense of fashion
Maybe it's her modeling background at work, but Lee Bo Young always has stunning and glamorous red carpet style.
6. Her friendship with Lee Jong Suk
Lee Bo Young and Lee Jong Suk developed an older sister/younger brother relationship on the set of I Hear Your Voice. The two have remained fast friends since that time, reportedly calling and texting each other encouragement. Lee Jong Suk was one of the few celebrities invited to Lee Bo Young's wedding with Ji Sung.
Watch Lee Bo Young and Lee Jong Suk in I Hear Your Voice:
7. She maintains relationships
In addition to her ongoing friendship with Lee Jong Suk, she also continues to support staff members from her previous dramas. For example, she sent a food truck to the set of Pinocchio because the writer, director, and lead actor all worked with her on I Hear Your Voice.
8. She cares for the earth
Lee Bo Young is involved with various environmental causes, including appearing in a commercial for the United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification.
9. She's a believable crier
Crying is one of those acting skills that gives even the most talented actors and actresses trouble from time to time, but Lee Bo Young has managed to make her tears emotional without going overboard.
10. She's going to be an amazing mom
We're so happy for Lee Bo Young, Ji Sung, and their expected baby! Lee Bo Young is due in July, and we're wishing the lovely couple a healthy pregnancy and a happy child!
Happy birthday, Lee Bo Young! What's your favorite of her roles? Comment below!

Soccer players don't just have a unique style but have a charisma that intrigues many people to imitate them. They all have their own distinct persona that they showcase on field and "off-field"! Let's look at who are the top 5 "Greatest Soccer Players' of our times:
- Lionel Messi [Barcelona, Argentina]
Lionel Messi, plays for his country – Argentina and also plays as the forward for the Spanish club FC Barcelona. He has had tremendous success throughout his career and keeps going strong. He will always remain a treat to watch. No one has done it as well as him.

- Paul Pogba [Juventus, France]
Pogba is a professional French player who plays for other teams that include Juventus, and Manchester United. Although very young, Pogba has shown great talent throughout his term in soccer. His exceptional skills got him to be named the "best all-around mid-fielder". Filled with rage to win, he also portrays some Zidane-styled moves and instinct on the ball. Well, expect the guy to only get better and better with time.
- Cristiano Ronaldo [Real Madrid, Portugal]
Cristiano Ronaldo is a Portuguese professional player who also plays for the Spanish club Real Madrid. He is also the forward and serves as a captain for the National football team of Portugal. Often being called "best football player in the world", he has indeed being declared the "Best Portuguese Player" by the Portuguese Football Federation. Cristiano always has something to offer for his fans when he sets his foot on the field!
- Luis Suarez [Barcelona, Uruguay]
Suarez is a Uruguayan professional player who also plays as the striker for the Spanish club Barcelona. Also known to be one of the most highly paid football players, his skills and tactics to play the game with such grace is definitely a winner quality! No matter how much one tries to deny the fact, he is indeed one of the best players of our times.
- Neymar [Barcelona, Brazil]
Neymar is a Brazilian professional football player who plays as the forward for the Spanish club, Barcelona. He's the third man among the unbeatable trio of the Barcelona squad. Neymar is explosive, and technically God-gifted! He plays with such ease and smoothness it's almost mind-boggling! Still at a very tender age, he has a lot of room to grow and contribute much more to the History of Football.
Well, there you have it, five of the most talented football players in the history of football. They don't just woo people with their amazing tricks but their charming persona and interaction with fans is an added bonus! Nothing ever stops them from showcasing their best self while on field, we obviously have a lot to learn from that. Be it injuries or personal matters, while on ground all that matters is victory and nothing more!

text: Recorded in Tucson, one wonders about the inspiration for the organ-drenched garage rave "Death Valley Rain," which features a supple, lyrical lead, or the somber, sun-baked dirge "Drought," with its reverb-haunted, Southwestern feel. Inhabiting song styles much like a musical costume designer, Wynn goes Velvet-y on the chunky, feedback-driven "Southern California Line," then rides a Bo Diddley beat through an inspired, post-apocalyptic "Strange New World." Then there's the Pink Floyd-flavored "Butterscotch," complete with harmonic humming and operatic builds. The second side features several epic tracks: the low-riding, downbeat "Topanga Canyon Freaks," with Wynn doing his best sotto voce, Lou Reed imitation; "Good and Bad," whose quiet, folksy guitar and piano opening recalls Neil Young's "Cortez the Killer;" the high-throttle, riff-raging guitar showcase of "Smash Myself to Bits," and the apropos garage-pop redemption of "There Will Come a Day," the album's closing track. Only Wynn's limited singing palette holds this album back, which is like complaining about a Western's dusty locales.

My mom and dad's house was a century home and the original Powell Dairy farmhouse with beautiful old construction and 5 huge bedrooms. It was a total loss. The only thing they managed to save before the fire was the push mower and my mom's car. Thankfully, both were outside at the time of the fire. Hours after the fire, my friend Missy, her husband Alan and I managed to get most of the pictures and slides out of the house. Alan is a local fire fighter and he went into the house while we sorted through the stuff loading up our vehicles. He also found some of my mom's jewelry. They lost their cell phones, ID's, wallets, purses, credit cards, cash... The local American Red Cross has been amazingly helpful providing guidance and assistance and we are thankful for theirs and everyone's help.
The following day, my husband Lou, brother Peter and friend Alan helped do most of the heavy lifting - salvaging as much from the house as possible. There was not much left. My friend Missy and I spent most of the afternoon removing wet pictures from photo albums we found later.
I have worked as a fire protection engineer in the industrial and commercial property insurance industry my entire 22 year career and it is as if I have been preparing for this moment the entire time. I have been able to assist my parents with their home owners policy and the claims adjusters. They have been in such a daze that most of it just went over their heads. It is a bunch of jibbirish under normal circumstances. It is 1000 times worse under duress.
Now comes the rebuilding - getting ID's replaced, temporary housing, credit cards replaced, utilities shut off, newspaper and mail delivery revised, new vehicle for my dad, permanent housing plans... Very overwhelming.

Rachael that's just awful. Thank God your parents are both OK. I hope you can get everything sorted out as quickly and painlessly as possible. Losing your home and your possessions like that is practically a bereavement.ReplyDelete
Aimee and I were stunned when we heard about the fire. Thankful your parents are okay but the destruction is so sad. They are fortunate to have you around to help with the rebuilding process.ReplyDelete
I am so sorry! That is horrible to hear.ReplyDelete
I am glad they were safe but all of their life has been incinerated. That is a tough one to comprehend what they must be experiencing.

One of the big advantages is that we constantly update our databases with local insurers, many of whom offer cheaper deals than the nationwide companies, who primarily compete with each other.
Columbus, OH (PRWEB) February 02, 2013
Auto Insure Savings is a website that has been open for business since December 2012. In its first month it attracted over 110,000 unique visitors, of which over 22,000 decided to use their new insurance premium process. On average, these individuals saved 20% on their car insurance policies, so word of mouth is spreading fast.
"Presentation and usability account for a lot of our initial success," explained a spokesperson, "we've worked hard to simplify and streamline the process users go through to access relevant information more quickly and get lower rates."
The site uses interactive infographics to allow users to find out what the minimum state coverage is across all fifty states, and a simple four stage form to automatically isolate the best results for a car insurance search. The site is free to use and users can make unlimited searches. This service was created based on data showing that most drivers only compared an average of three quotes, upon which it is almost impossible to get the best deal.
The site has placed itself outside the normal comparison sites by offering quotes from smaller regional brokers as well as the usual insurance titans.
"One of the big advantages is that we constantly update our databases with local insurers, many of whom offer cheaper deals than the nationwide companies, who primarily compete with each other," A spokesperson explained, "In our system, instead of offering a national service locally, which fails to take into account individual needs to the right extent, we're offering a local service nationally. It's now about what policy is the best fit for peoples' needs, not the brand name it comes from."
About Auto Insurance Savings: Auto Insure Savings launched with a well thought out plan make a place where potential buyers could find information and get free quotes from different insurance companies all in one place. Getting quotes with Auto Insure Savings takes less than a few minutes and you are on your way to getting low cost car insurance quotes. If you want to reduce your premium, please visit: http://www.autoinsuresavings.com

Mamata trashes sting, threatens opposition
Kolkata: Trashing the sting operation in which some of her party leaders are purportedly seen taking bribes, Trinamool Congress supremo and West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Tuesday said it won't take her "a second" in getting back at her opponents in a like manner.
On a day when the Calcutta High Court heard litigations concerning the sting operation, Banerjee, in an interview on a Bengali TV news channel, questioned the motive of the sting by a man who was "arrested for violating the Official Secrets Act".
Lambasting the opposition BJP, Congress and the CPI-M for harping on the sting operation during their election campaign, she attacked a section of the media for giving detailed coverage to the footage.
Warning her political opponents, she said: "I can also do a similar thing by giving money to someone, but why would I do that?"
Taking the names of several prominent opposition leaders, Banerjee warned: "They are talking big… how long will it take me, papers are there…
"Don't make me open my mouth. It takes a second to do…," she said.
Banerjee termed the videos as "fake".
"If the videos are really authentic, then why is the media running a disclaimer about not having verified its authenticity?
"When the media itself does not trust the videos, then why is it serving such fake news to the people?" asked Banerjee.
She ridiculed the BJP and the Congress which have filed petitions seeking a CBI probe into the sting operation.
Carried out by Narada News and uploaded on its website, the sting shows several top-notch Trinamool leaders including former central ministers, state ministers and MPs accepting bribe in return for favouring a fictitious company.
"Our party has already said it is a fake video and even in the court we have said that. What I have heard from media reports, the court has asked for details of the company. I heard the company was formed this year. Then how come it did the sting in 2014?
"The man behind the sting, he was arrested and was in jail. He was arrested by the CBI for violating the Official Secrets Act and was granted bail later. He failed to appear and for violating bail condition he was again arrested and again got bail later," Banerjee said about sting mastermind Mathew Samuel.
"What can be more damning than this man violating the Official Secrets Act?" said Banerjee, referring to Mathew's arrest in 2010 after being accused by the CBI of unlawfully procuring official documents from a home ministry secret file and using it for a story.
With Samuel affirming he had been conducting the sting since 2014, Banerjee questioned his motive of releasing the videos just before the assembly polls.
"Much like accepting bribe, giving bribe too is a crime. Being a journalist why would you approach somebody like that? The entire video is fake, this has been manufactured.
"Why now at the time of elections, why are you so much afraid of the Trinamool that you have to resort to such tactics," she asked.

Ben 10 Bubble Trouble
Ben is one of the biggest names in cartoon industry. He got his powers from the alien watch known as the Omnitrix. It was supposed to belong to grandpa Max, but it does work on him, so grandpa Max let him have it. Besides, Grandpa Max is already old and he wants his grandson to take over since he is already retired. When the Omnitrix first got to the world, an android was supposed to retrieve it, but the alien watch got its way to Ben and has ever since bonded with the kid. The power of the Omnitrix is almost unimaginable as you can transform into more than 10 aliens at a time. In this game, you won't need the Omnitrix. The game is played with a keyboard and the idea here is to hit those bubble till they are gone. They would be reduced to size once they are hit. Keep hitting it as you won't want to get too close to it since that would end your life. You have three lives and you won't want to use them all. Sometimes you would get some bonus from hitting a bubble. The game gets harder and more difficult as you make some progress.

Music soothes the soul of the savage beast — or so they say. Local music teacher Laura Denne believes that music can soothe the soul of anyone willing to embrace it. After dedicating more than 20 years of her life educating local youngsters in music, and other academic areas, Denne has been honored by the Rotary Clubs of Ojai as one of this year's Living Treasures. Denne is probably best known for her musical contributions to the valley. She taught children the art of making music, started the Ojai Valley Youth Band, and helped form the Ojai Band. She

The Evergreen Library remained closed all day Monday, April 14, as workers labored to repair a broken water main beneath the parking lot.
About 7:30 a.m., a delivery driver noticed water furiously boiling up from the pavement through an in-line main valve about 100 feet from the library's main entrance.
"It was spraying up about 6 inches and washing down the parking lot into the creek," said grounds supervisor Al Santangelo. "I've been here 14 years, and I've never seen anything like this here before."
In my last column, I wrote about a soon-to-be introduced bipartisan bill called the Colorado Achievement Plan for Kids (or CAP4K). Since that time, legislation has been formally introduced in the state Senate and was assigned a bill number, SB 212.
SB 212 is supported by Gov. Bill Ritter and enjoys bipartisan sponsorship in the Senate (Sen. Josh Penry, R-Grand Junction, and Sen. Chris Romer, D-Denver) and the House (Rep. Christine Scanlan, D-Summit County, and myself).
"Zeet, zeet, zeet, buzzy trill." I stop to listen. Yes, it is the first song sparrow I've heard this spring! The three bright, clean starting notes, followed by a rapid jumble of short notes, is a loud announcement by a male song sparrow that he is claiming about an acre of local real estate as his nesting territory.
In 1906, Bull Moose President Teddy Roosevelt won the Nobel Peace Prize for negotiating an end to the bloody Russo-Japanese war. A major earthquake and fire leveled 75 percent of San Francisco. There was no such thing as canned beer, the average American wage was 22 cents an hour, sugar cost 4 cents a pound, there were 45 stars on Old Glory, and 203 murders were reported nationwide. And, on April 6, 1906, in the small Pennsylvania coal-mining town of Carbondale, Isobel Bruning was born.
At its regular meeting at El Rancho on April 4, the Rotary Club of Evergreen served up laughter, good fellowship and a chance to hear five candidates for the Evergreen Fire Protection District board speak their piece.
More than a dozen years of planning, fund-raising and negotiating paid off last week as The Evergreen Naturalists Audubon Society officially got comfy in the Old Warming Hut at Evergreen Lake.
"We're just so pleased to get going on the nature center," says TENAS vice president Peggy Durham. "It's been a dream of ours for a long time."
Quick! Name an Earth-friendly business in the mountain area. If you said Cactus Jack's Saloon & Grill, give yourself a green star.
In an industry not often associated with ecological innovation, Cactus Jack's owners, Gary and Megan Mitchell, are fast transforming their downtown Evergreen watering hole into a model of environmentally conscious efficiency.
"We're trying to lead by example," says Megan. "It's not only great for the community; it saves us money."
LAKEWOOD — Girls golf coach Mike Kuzava finally got to see his full team in the swing of things on a sunny and calm April 2.
Consider him both reassured and a little unsettled.
The Cougars didn't expect to go through the baseball season undefeated, but they certainly would have liked to have stayed perfect at least through the weekend.
Evergreen rallied late but ended up on the short end of a 5-4 decision to D'Evelyn on April 5 in a Class 4A Jefferson County League game at Evergreen High School.
ARVADA — Evergreen's girls soccer team had a plan to beat, or at least disrupt, Golden on April 4.
Golden just came up with a better plan at halftime.

Singapore's tiny mosses and blobby sponges are often overlooked. But they are quite beautiful and fascinating! As I found out during the launch of two new guidebooks on Singapore mosses and Singapore sponges.
As part of the launch of the guidebooks, our mosses and sponges are on special display at the Science Centre Singapore.
Visit the display to see some intriguing mosses.
And awesome sponges.
And buy the new guidebooks so you can learn more about them for yourself. The guidebooks are available for sale at the Science Centre Singapore's Curiosity Shop: at $5.35 (Mosses) and $6.42 (Sponges). These books should also be available at major bookshops, particularly Kinokuniya.

Hostages Sue for Compensation
bkyser on Apr 25th 2012
In August 2001, the American hostages held in Iran for 444 days sued Iran. The hostages won their case due to default, because Iran failed to represent itself in court. However, in 2002, a federal judge ruled that the hostages are unable to receive compensation from Iran because the agreement that they were released under does not allow for such lawsuits.
Judge Sullivan, the judge in charge of this case, criticized the American government for failing to provide compensation and aid to the hostages after their release.
The hostages and their survivors sued Iran using a law issued in 1996; that law was the Antiterrorism Act, issued by Congress. This act "removed immunity of foreign governments in cases of state-sponsored terrorism." Under this act, the hostages should have been able to sue Iran; however, the Algiers Accord, which began under the Carter administration and followed into the Reagan administration, prevented this from happening. In this accord, America gave Iran immunity from any cases resulting from the hostage taking. Congress reacted to this accord by correcting a typographical error that would allow the citizens taken hostage by the Islamic Republic of Iran in 1979 to sue Iran. Despite this correction, both President Bush and the State Department promoted the Algiers Accord and believed that it should be upheld. Many people, including a Marine who was a guard at the American Embassy in Tehran at the time, spoke out against the inability of the hostages to sue. Suing Iran would allow the hostages to receive compensation. This compensation would be taken from Iran's assets that are currently frozen in the United States.
Here is the link to the 2002 article with the details from this case.
MATTHEW L. WALD, "Judge Rules Iran Hostages Can't Receive Compensation" The New York Times, April 19, 2002, http://www.nytimes.com/2002/04/19/world/judge-rules-iran-hostages-can-t-receive-compensation.html (accessed April 25, 2012).

Pasta e Fagioli is a dish I keep revisiting trying to play around with methods for it so I can keep making it new to me. Here, the classic soup turns into a baked pasta dish. Loosen your belts and open wide. Have your blankies ready for a family nap.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil, salt it, cook pasta to just shy of al dente.
Chop pancetta into 1/4-inch dice.
While pasta cooks, heat a skillet with olive oil over medium to medium-high heat. Add pancetta, cook 2 to 3 minutes then add celery, carrot, onions, garlic, rosemary, thyme and bay leaf to the skillet, season with salt and pepper. Saute the vegetables until tender, 6 to 7 minutes. Add beans and heat them through. Stir in 1/2 cup wine, simmer 30 seconds more and turn off heat. Remove bay leaf.
While vegetables cook, place a small sauce pot over medium heat, add butter, melt butter then whisk in flour and cook 1 minute then whisk in milk. Season sauce with salt, pepper and nutmeg and reduce 4 to 5 minutes, stir in half the grated cheese, turn off heat and adjust seasoning.
While sauce cooks, place a rack in the middle of the oven and preheat broiler to high.
Drain pasta and return to the pot, toss with white bean mixture and sauce, stir to coat, transfer to a casserole dish, top with remaining cheese and place in oven to brown, 5 minutes.

Oh trust! you creep discreetly with no noise
And no sound, while i try to reason
Myself with logic why you sprouted for sort like you destroys
My feeble little heart, from season to season
Oh heart! you know you cant afford
To let you get carried away anymore by such noble traits
Which have become too ideal for some cowards,
In this topsy-turvy world, to portrait
Like an oak tree, this trust grows strong in silence
But I know only too well that as the tree falls
With thundering noise; so does this caliber, as the false pretense

We recently relocated from North Texas to Central Texas, and had to say goodbye to many friends.
This project evolved from a need to stay in touch with one of them. My friend and I decided that we would both teach ourselves to free motion quilt. Our guidance was from Leah Day's Building Blocks Quilt pattern and videos.
We did most of it long distance after synchronizing our start in the spring of 2015. We both worked on the same block sets at the same time. We texted our progress shots and woes back and forth.
Finally, we both had all our blocks quilted and we decided on a mini quilting retreat in Augus to assemble the quilts. We scheduled a long weekend where she came to visit with her machine in tow. We instructed our spouses to entertain themselves while we sewed and sewed.
Neither of us quite finished that weekend, but we both finished our quilts in the following couple of weeks.
This was a wonderful project to keep my friend and I close. We both learned a lot and we want to do another project Ike this soon.

3 thoughts on "Life with geeks"
Sad that I missed this discussion unfolding on twitter; tried to reconstruct it but twitter does not make that particularly easy."Geeks are not technodeterminists." Aye, but perhaps the issue is more that they are "technodeterminers," eh? I think the notion that the time span (3-5 years in the future) is collapsing is suspect; "Half a league half a league,Half a league onward." Also the notion that the set of norms that geeks themselves conform to is itself static seems wrong; just like with academics & engineers, these are self-affirming/reinforcing, & the longer yet get away from the formations of those norms, the more the reasons for their origins fade and they become ends in themselves. So what starts off as simply "improving" ends up being "engineering out." </randomcomments>
So would this allow the more general summary: geekdom is a relative status reserved to the top 2% of any given talent pool.
I think the world "top" is misleading. It's only "top" in the sense of more geeky. I'm not trying to make a talent value judgement. For example you could point at people with "geeky" attributes that are not especially technically skilled (though I'd agree that this is rare.) Love responding to an "Ockhams Shotgun" comment – it's like old times 🙂

For the last 10 years University College London Interaction Centre (UCLIC) has provided the user experience (UX) industry in the UK - and beyond - with many of its movers and shakers through its Masters course in Human-Computer Interaction. You can now find UCLIC graduates in the corridors of many of the leading consultancies, not to mention companies such as Google and eBay.
Foolproof counts at least half a dozen UCLIC graduates amongst its current staff, so it felt only natural that we should sponsor the Centre's 10th anniversary as a demonstration of our ongoing commitment to this most valuable of resources. As a former student, it was with great pleasure that I returned to UCLIC last week to attend a day of lectures and networking to celebrate their anniversary.
Academia and its role in business
The lectures, given by a mix of UCLIC luminaries old and new, were without exception extremely interesting. Yet - if I am being honest - for me, they also highlighted the perennial gap that exists between academic research and the actual practice of user experience design.
When academics talk about UX design, their views can often seem quite aspirational and not particularly rooted in the world of business reality. Not everything that is produced by university research centres seems immediately useful to industry.
The highly involved methods and timescales involved in academic research would simply never be tolerated in the faster moving world of business. The analyses of a problem and solutions offered to the design industry by academics can often appear hopelessly idealistic and worse, simply unfit for the purposes of commercial practice.
If it's sometimes hard for those of us in industry to see the immediate value in academic research, then events such as this serve to reiterate the incredibly important role it plays. While research centres like UCLIC may not break boundaries, they endlessly validate what industry has previously done, explaining why certain things have worked whilst others have not – avoiding future reinventing of the wheel – and building incrementally on previous research to produce a validated body of knowledge for the field.
A theoretical framework
Some industry commentators have begun to complain about the proliferation of unsubstantiated, opinion-driven comment out there in blogs and magazine articles – viewpoints, methods and approaches supported by little more than anecdote, and made without sufficient attention to the knowledge we have previously acquired as a discipline.
Whilst anyone who decides to call themselves a 'UX-this-or-that' can be up and running with a blog within hours, academics have to subject their work to scrutiny by peers – not once, but many times. The work will be reviewed, edited and resubmitted before finally being published or presented at conference. At this point, the work will then be open to the fierce scrutiny of the author's peer community.
In a recent post on his Bad Science website, the Guardian's Ben Goldacre commented: "[Peer review] is often represented as some kind of policing system for truth, but in reality, some dreadful nonsense gets published, and mercifully so: shaky material of some small value can be published into the buyer-beware professional literature of academic science; then the academic readers of this literature, who are trained to critically appraise a scientific case, can make their own judgement."
For me, this sums up the advantage that academic rigour provides anyone preparing for a career in user experience. In providing a theoretical framework to underpin their design work, it teaches students to thoroughly analyse source materials, helps them spot methodological flaws and weed out unsubstantiated claims from genuine user insights. This arms the future UX practitioner with the ability to discriminate between genuine, informed comment and guesswork.
Thanks to the work of UCLIC and other leading HCI research centres, companies like Foolproof continue to reap the benefits of graduates with these very skills - and long may it continue.
So we cynical industry hacks salute you, UCLIC here's to the next 10 years.

Barter exchanges allow people to make trades for health-related services
Small-business owner Jim Owens is able to cover the cost of orthodontics for his employees and their families.
It's quite a perk in an age of shrinking and disappearing benefits for many workers.
Owens does it with the help of a Pittsburgh bartering exchange, an age-old business practice of trading services and goods that more employers are using for medical services such as dental and vision care.
"I think the biggest thing is it helps with employee morale," said Owens, owner of Call Processing Professionals, a Robinson company that sells business phone systems.
Employees' out-of-pocket costs associated with dental and vision plans are growing, and most plans don't cover braces for a child's teeth, which can cost thousands of dollars. Bartering with orthodontists gives Owens and other business owners in Western Pennsylvania a less expensive way to provide benefits.
"That obviously makes for a very happy employee when you can provide that," Owens said.
Call Processing Professionals is one of 3,000 Pittsburgh-area businesses that participate in an exchange run by Green Apple Barter Services of Green Tree.
Justin Krane, Green Apple's director of sales and marketing, said rising costs force many companies to trim health benefits.
"It seems like everyone I've talked to has cut back on the dental, vision and (drug) prescriptions" due to higher costs, Krane said. Bartering "is a way they can continue to do it."
Green Apple, established in 1991, handles about $50 million a year in bartering transactions, making it among the largest networks in the country, Krane said. All manner of goods and services are traded, from advertising and office cleaning to computers or website work.
Health-related services account for a small but growing percentage of barter activity, he said. Green Apple has about 45 medical providers in its network.
Independent dentists, opticians, physical therapists, orthodontists, pharmacists and medical-equipment sellers are common exchange users. Medical doctors and hospitals typically don't participate in bartering, however.
Dr. Tim Chips, a dentist with offices in Ross and Gibsonia, gets about 10 percent of his business through Green Apple's network.
"I've found it a very positive experience," Chips said.
The additional patients are a nice boost, but the real payoff comes when patients who Chips treats tell their friends and family about him, he said.
"Having people who've had good experience is always good for generating word-of-mouth," he said.
Chips has used barter credits he generates to pay for maintenance for his offices, marketing and advertising, and other services.
Barter networks such as Green Apple operate like a bank, keeping track of credits and debits for thousands of members, Krane said. As an exchange, bartering isn't done directly. Chips, for example, generates credits for the value of the dental services he provides to Green Apple members. He then uses Green Apple "dollars" to buy goods and services from other members.
"We're an authorized form of payment recognized by the IRS," Krane said.
Though the number of health providers in Green Apple's network is relatively small, a new member will help expand the number.
Medical Benefits Network, a Green Tree-based insurance agency, runs what it calls a rewards program that provides a 50 percent discount on out-of-pocket costs at hundreds of dentists and opticians in Western Pennsylvania.
Tom Prestia, CEO of the agency, said he created the program as a free benefit for his insurance customers.
"I did it to create (customer) loyalty and create more business by providing value-added services for free," he said.
Like Chips, Prestia said the advantage of participating in Green Apple's exchange is the opportunity to pick up customers for his insurance business.
"If they come in as one of my members through Green Apple, then I'm known to that company and I can help them out with other needs," he said.
In the past month, he gained three customers who bought his discount program through Green Apple, he said.
"The rising cost of health insurance is a big thing" driving the popularity of bartering for health care and for Prestia's discount program, he said. "Health insurance doesn't provide dental and vision like what I have. ... It's a no-brainer."

Crash Bag, Vol. 106: What's the Phillies' Plan?
Some self-promotion before we start: not only do I have a book to flog (coming out Nov. 4, pre-order now on Amazon!), I've started a weekly baseball podcast with my dear friend Liz Roscher, supreme empress of our rival Phillies blog, The Good Phight. It's called Defensive Indifference, and for those of you who kept hounding me for a renewed Crash Pod, well, this isn't it, but it's pretty close. I'm working on getting the podcast on various syndication services and so on, so look for more of that in the future. Now, on to your questions.
@kgeich: "you have to spend the day with Ruben Amaro, what do you do? Does he survive the day? King Joffrey him?"
I think that depends on whether we're just two dudes who just run into each other and decide to hang out and eventually fall in love, like in Lost in Translation or Before Sunrise or Blood Diamond, or if he is who he is and I am who I am. I've got ambitions of one day doing long magazine profiles, and if I wind up Wright Thompsoning or Gary Smithing all over someone, Ruben Amaro's near the top of my list. He's probably not the most fascinating person, but I get the sense that most of our frustration with the direction he's taken the Phillies in has as much to do with PR as it does results.
By that I mean it's frustrating that the Phillies are terrible and not that fun to watch, but we don't have any idea of how things are going to go in the intermediate future. I'm not saying Amaro has to give a weekly candid press conference, because we know what Sam Hinkie's plan is for the Sixers, and we know ownership has empowered him to carry it out, even though he talks to the media for about 20 minutes once every four months. I'm saying I look at what the Phillies have done over the past three years and I don't really see a coherent plan, which worries me. I don't know how empowered the GM even is–we could be blaming Ruben Amaro for only carrying out orders. I'd love to just sit down and have an honest conversation with him, even if it was off the record, because at least then I'd know, and I don't care about you guys anyway.
@FelskeFiles: "OK, the Bryce Harper thing. It's a punk move to call out his manager and throw Denard Span under the bus, right?"
Well, on the one hand, yes, it's insubordinate to openly question your manager. On the other hand, Matt Williams can blow me.
Matt Williams has managed the Nationals like he takes really seriously that old aphorism about how you have to punch the biggest guy on the block on your first day in prison. So sure, you can wade into the room as a rookie manager and act like you're more important than the best player on your team, and that might impress anyone who doesn't realize how massively more important and popular Harper is than anyone else in that organization. Unfortunately for Williams, such people are in short supply nowadays.
@tholzerman: "Regardless of national peen-waving related to soccer, Ommegang is a better brewery than Chimay, right?"
INCORRECT. Chimay is wonderful–the destination as well as the journey. Let's imagine that Drunkville was a physical destination and not a state of mind. Though really, aren't all physical destinations states of mind and vice versa? They are if you've had enough Chimay. Anyway, the destination is the same, more or less, but good booze is about enjoying the journey, not so much getting there as quickly as possible so you can throw rocks through windows and fall down your front steps.
Here's how you get there:
- Yuengling: Normal airline
- Vodka: Southwest Airlines, because it's cheap but unpleasant, though if you do it often enough, you/the airline is going to forget you had baggage
- Bud Light: Greyhound
- PBR: Megabus
- Michelob Ultra: Bicycle. If you do it conspicuously, it's because you want people to know you're watching your figure, but instead everyone assumes you're a weenie. It also takes a lot of effort and you're probably going to get hit by a car.
- Tequila: Kidnapped, stuffed in a box and shipped via UPS two-day air
- Bourbon: Train. A pleasant, low-maintenance experience that can either
- Chimay: One of those posh luxury airlines I've seen in magazines, like Virgin Atlantic or Emirates, where you get an apartment and a tennis court and prostitutes and so on.
Anyway, my opinion of Ommegang is that it's not bad, but I'd rather spend my money on another beer. Oh, and go look up "Ommegang" on the internet, because I've seen it and it's weird.
@doug_phresh: "if you could have any sports team mascot for a pet which team would it be"
Any sports team mascot? From any era? I'd have to say the San Francisco Seals, the old PCL team that produced the DiMaggio brothers. I've said this for years, that if there were some sort of amphibious domestic mammal, something that was to a seal or a sea lion what a dog is to a wolf, there is no other pet I'd rather have.
@noallusions: "Should we retire atbat music? Could you watch another phillie walk up to Kashmir or In The Air Tonight?"
I'll allow it. It's not all that often that one player's entrance music becomes iconic, because as much as I obsess over such things, they change. I still associate Jimmy Rollins with "So Fresh, So Clean" by OutKast, but he hasn't walked up to that song in about 10 years. I count six songs that I'd want retired:
- "Hell's Bells" by AC/DC for Trevor Hoffman
- "Enter Sandman" by Metallica for Mariano Rivera
- "Shipping Up to Boston" by Dropkick Murphys for Jonathan Papelbon, partially because that was iconic entrance music for him, but mostly because I never want to hear that song ever again
- "Holy Diver" by Dio for Pat Burrell
- "Kashmir" by Led Zeppelin for Chase Utley
- "Sweet Escape" by Gwen Stefani for Ryan Spillborghs
Someone should form a committee to examine this more fully. It's an important issue.
@Ut26: "how different would national and local reactions to the Astros leak have been if it were a Phillies leak instead?"
I think there's a national reflex to think whatever the Astros do is, if not smart, then at least well-planned and well-considered. That reflex goes along with a similar reflex to ridicule whatever the Phillies do–I'm not complaining or crying persecution or anything, only saying that those are the two front offices' reputations, and they're well-deserved in both cases.
I'm not positive the reaction would've been that different if the Phillies had had their internal trade discussions exposed, because the reaction when it happened to Houston–at least as far as I can tell–has been mostly one of curiosity, with a side helping of "Wow, this is embarrassing." Maybe if it happened to the Phillies, there'd be a little less curiosity and a little more embarrassment, but I don't know. Mostly I'm glad I avoided the local spate of Hot Sports Takes.
@FelskeFiles: "Related: If you were Houston, would you have dealt Springer and Correa for Stanton?"
No, for a few reasons: first of all is positional scarcity–you'd be trading a potentially very good center fielder in Springer and a potential MVP candidate shortstop in Correa for a corner outfielder. One of the best corner outfielders in the game, sure, but a corner outfielder nonetheless. Second, TMGS would come to Houston and be the best player on a team that's still developing his supporting cast, which is the situation he'd be leaving in Miami, except the Astros are even less far along than the Marlins are in that rebuild. He's about to cash in–and deservedly so–in which time he wouldn't be that much use to Houston anyway.
I'd absolutely be interested in TMGS, and I wouldn't blink at trading a package centered on Springer for him. Correa's a little tougher. I think the reasonable ceiling for Correa is better than the reasonable ceiling for TMGS, and considering that Correa is younger, cheaper and plays a more difficult position, the odds of him reaching it wouldn't have to be 100 percent to make a one-for-one trade fair. I think I'd trade Correa for TMGS and maybe throw in a little token makeweight on the side, but I don't know for sure, and I'd definitely want to ask someone who knows Correa's game better than I do before making any decisions.
@BoomersBoro: "first guy traded? best return? Im thinking Bastardo and Byrd has the best chance fulfilling both"
I think if Amaro's got the meatballs to trade Marlon Byrd in the first year of a two-year contract, he'd bring a pretty decent return. Byrd is hitting pretty well, and he's on an extremely reasonable contract. He's old, but he's athletic and I bet that he could play center in an emergency. Not an enormous return, but a year ago two months of Marlon Byrd bought a legitimate bullpen arm (Vic Black) and a legitimate prospect (Dilson Herrera) for the Mets, so if I were running the Phillies, I'd be looking to move Byrd.
@Matt_Winkelman: "Favorite place in a baseball park to watch a game from?"
Near the bottom of the upper deck, behind home plate. I just like the view from up there.
@BCanneyBSB: "What's the best case scenario you think with Dario Saric? Are we getting a Vlade or a Darko in 2 years?"
I'm glad you asked me about the best-case scenario for Saric, because I'm his biggest fan. I love big Europeans with ball skills. I think I've said this here before, but my two favorite NBA teams ever to watch were the 2002 Kings and 2009 Magic. What they had in common was big guys who could pass and shoot. Also Hedo Turkoglu. It just occurred to me, but has there ever been a better passing/playmaking pair of bigs than Chris Webber and Vlade Divac? I'm sure there has been, but I can't think of one.
Anyway, that Magic team made the finals because they were a matchup nightmare. Their point guard–Rafer Alston–was really only a point guard on defense. Hedo was the real key to that team–he'd get the ball and if nobody guarded him, he'd shoot. If someone did guard him, he'd have the other four guys run around until one of them got open. His ability to create offense without ever moving faster than a walking pace would've made him a cult hero on the level of Andrea Pirlo if he played soccer.
So to answer your question, we're not getting either a Vlade or a Darko from Saric, because he's not a center. He's more of a stretch four, someone who can run the offense when you go big and spread the floor when you go small. He's 6-foot-10, but more like a Hedo 6-foot-10 than a Webber 6-foot-10. I have no idea how he'd play in a frontcourt with Nerlens Noel and Joel Embiid, but whoever figures that out would be smarter than I am anyway, and on the defensive end, he could just hold hands with MCW and whatever long wing the Sixers take in the top 5 next year and cover the entire court. And whoever gets through that would have to try to score around the rim with both Noel and Embiid defending it.
I'm so mad I don't get to watch the 2016-17 Sixers next year.
@GlennQSpooner: "Do the Phillies plan to devote more resources to the burgeoning International FA Market (specifically Cuban & Asian players)?"
I'd probably ask Ruben Amaro about that as we strolled hand-in-hand down the sunlit boulevard in Milan during our European 24-hour romance film. As it stands, I don't even know if the Phillies know they're bad, so how the hell would I know what their free agent plan is?
@Jesse_Pol: "how long will it take for this team to be actually relevant again?"
Forever. But it's okay. We can't understand the sheer insignificance of our own suffering in the grand scheme of the universe. Death comes for us all, and soon.

As this post publishes, I am at work. Probably sleeping at work, but I'm at work. There is absolutely nothing worse than not being able to fall asleep, except for missing your scheduled run because of lack of sleep. I am grumple-mc-grumpy this morning, and the only thing that will make this better is food and sleep, and since sleep isn't coming until I finish my adult responsibilities, let's just glorify food with What I Ate Wednesday!
Breakfast has been roasted sweet potatoes and grilled or shredded chicken. I love the sweetness of the potatoes due to baking them. So much better than simply microwaving them! {Recycled photo}.
Mid-morning snack has been greek yogurt mixed with an estimated tablespoon.
Last week out of desperation I realized that cheese on top of chicken was a fantastic combo. I've been eating this meal for lunch non-stop. So good – try it!
I oddly have been really craving peanut butter english muffins, so that's what I've been doing. Instead of overdoing it on peanut butter, I make sure to only use 1 tbsp on the english muffins. When you toast the english muffin, the heat makes it so you don't need as much pb on them.
I've still been obsessed with egg & cheese sandwiches, so this is my dinner. 2 english muffins in one day isn't my proudest moment, but I've balanced it out and have hit my macros, so I am okay with this. I use 2 egg whites for this meal, but depending on my fat intake, I'll use 1 whole egg.
For the first time ever I finally got to try the Quest S'mores protein bar!!
What is your favorite Quest Bar flavor?

The vBulletin hack, as far as I know, would not have been prevented by using SSL. But there's plenty of reasons to adopt SSL either way.
Although not strictly necessary on a site like this, I still support the idea. As time goes on, browsers are going to start showing nag-screens about "This site is not secure" as HTTPS becomes the norm across the net. Also getting a Cert costs nothing any more thanks to letsencrypt.org (I use one myself on the seedbox. It just requires a script to keep it renewed every month. Otherwise, maintenance free).
Chrome and Firefox already shows discrete warnings for unprotected pages if a input form is present, but not otherwise (yet). Such warnings are expected to be expanded in the future to include pretty much everything.
Might i suggest making redirect from "non SSL" connection to "SSL" connection?
In my opinion every site that have some kind of private info (and personal accounts are definitely private info) should implement HTTPS.
