Dr. Stephanie Fitzgerald
Professor Fitzgerald's research is both interdisciplinary and trans-historical, and broadly focuses on Native women's textual and cultural productions from the colonial era to the present. She is often asked why her work focuses on Native women, a question to which she promptly replies, "Why not?" As Patricia Albers and Beatrice Medicine noted back in 1983 in their edited volume The Hidden Half: Studies of Plains Indian Women (University Press of America), there is a dearth of scholarship on Native women in any discipline. And not much has changed since 1983.
While her academic publications to date center on Native women's textual productions, she does not see her work as a recovery project. She is more interested in countering the historical erasure of Native women by drawing out the connections between gender, law and policy, and land dispossession. From migration narratives painted onto the sides of a late eighteenth century Mohegan woodsplint basket, to seventeenth century land conveyances penned in the Massachusett language, to twentieth century novels taking environmental justice as their focus, her research links the materiality of the texts to their specific historical, cultural, legal, and political contexts. Her current book project investigates contemporary Native women's literary and rhetorical responses to certain defining moments in tribal histories relating to land dispossession, reading them against the court decisions, legislation, and federal policy that set them in motion.

Secret Squirrel was dealing with a fake ghost, 4 years before Scooby-Doo.
In "Captain Kidd's Not Kidding", Yellow Pinky (Paul Frees) poses as the ghost of Captain Kidd to steal an ancient Spanish galleon that was just raised from the depths by the Panaravian government. Mel Blanc resurrects his "Mexican guy" character from The Jack Benny Program in the form of a Panaravian representative, while Frees is also the news reporter conducting the interview, and, in a hint of the future, tossing in a sponsor plug for the "ghost"'s appearance. I don't know who wrote this story, but it was ahead of its time in a lot of respects.
Edit: 11/4/15: Unfortunately, the video has been deleted due to a copyright claim issued by WB.
Blanc & Frees had such good chemistry together. It's just a shame that the only other project the two did together was the movie, "The Man Called Flintstone", the very next year.

Still love me some SS!
It pops up on Boomerang at 11pm. The theme song is still cool, and the show itself a lot of fun. Then again I'm partial to 60s spy spoofs!

11 pm in Las Vegas equates to 2 am in Troy, NY. I'm sleeping when SS is on.

Since you continued reading even after seeing the title, I appreciate your sense of humor. Last week my sister and I decided we need a puking emoji (we suppose there's one out there but it didn't come loaded on our iPhones) and we would also like to see a new Facebook relationship status titled "married but he's cheating on me." We are confident it would be a commonly used selection. To be fair, if Facebook would like to make a "married but she's cheating on me" status, we don't discriminate.
On the sweeter side of the week, I made pumpkin chocolate chip cookies in a pan and Paula Deen's Georgia toffee.
Georgia Toffee
(from my all-time favorite Paula Deen's Chocolate Celebration special 2008 issue)
13 graham cracker sheets
1 cup butter
1 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips (I like to use the mini chips)
1 cup chopped pecans (I use pecan cookie pieces)
Preheat oven to 425˚. Line a 10×15-inch jelly-roll pan with heavy-duty aluminum foil. Spray foil with nonstick cooking spray.
Place graham cracker sheets evenly over foil, breaking crackers apart as necessary to cover bottom of pan; set aside.
In a medium saucepan, combine butter and brown sugar. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat; boil for 2 minutes.
Remove from heat; stir in condensed milk. Immediately pour evenly over crackers. Sprinkle evenly with chocolate chips and pecans. Bake for 12 minutes. Let cool completely before cutting.
The pumpkin bars are made using my son's favorite soft pumpkin chocolate chip cookies recipe.
Pumpkin Chip Cookie Bars
1 1/2 cups butter, softened (3 sticks)
2 cups brown sugar
1 cup sugar
1 can (15 oz) solid-pack pumpkin
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups quick-cooking oats
2 teaspoons baking soda
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice (this is my own addition)
1 teaspoon salt
2 cups (12 oz) chocolate chips
In a large bowl, cream butter and sugars. Beat in the egg, pumpkin and vanilla. Combine the flour, oats, baking soda, cinnamon and salt; gradually add to creamed mixture. Stir in the chocolate chips.
Spread batter in a greased 15×10-inch jelly roll/bar pan. Bake at 350° for 25-30 minutes. Remove from oven and cool completely before cutting into bars.
These cookies are also quite fabulous as sandwiches with marshmallow maple cream.
I've got a classier post for you next time.Sweet & sarcastic wishes, Staci

Recurve archery practice 21st April – New SF Axiom bow
So in this video I'm shooting my new recurve bow which has an SF Axiom 25″ riser with 40lb SF Elite limbs. I'm shooting from 15m at a 60cm target and I'm using Easton X75 arrows.
The bow was bought from www.bowsports.com
FMAOWATS freezing my arse off waiting at the station
I am never going to complain again about sitting in traffic in my car on the way to work! I'm lucky enough to be on a leadership training course this week over at Forest Gate and I decided that I would probably be better off going by train. Lucky old me gets the first really cold snap in about the weeks. The journey has been quite good, but the problem comes from having to wait for my work colleague at the station at Forest Gate. She's never on time and I find myself sitting on a freezing cold bench for half an hour. Brrrrr

Odroid C1+ review
I've been experimenting with alternatives to the Raspberry Pi for my visual standards application that I've been coding. I tried the beagle bone black as an alternative first, but I really couldn't get on with it. Although on paper the BBB looked like a viable alternative, the reality was quite different. The performance seemed to be worse than the Pi v1.
Recently I discovered the Odroid's from Hardkernel. They have a range of SOC development boards that range from the brilliant to exceptional! Continue reading Odroid C1+ review
That's another module finished
Well almost! Just the exam left for the T356 OU module in June. I don't think I can handle any more about nano technology. I thought it would be an interesting module, which it was. I just didn't realise how much it goes into biology. Biology was never my strong point in school, so going into so much detail twenty eight years later was not fun. Give me wire, electron's and electronic components any day!
Just bought myself a new toy
I've just bought this little beauty from Amazon, it's a USB dongle that was original purpose was to receive DVB-T signals. The guys at NooElec have made some neat modifications to the stick to make it more suitable for use as an SDR receiver. The Mini 2 uses a brand-new tuner IC, the R820T2 made by Rafael Micro, to provide increased sensitivity and improved SNR. This custom NooElec SDR USB dongle tuned for SDR usage, including upgraded crystal, capacitors and inductors compared to generic devices. It has a frequency capability of approximately 25MHz-1750MHz and you can extend the range further by combining it with an upconverter that NooElec also make called 'Ham it up'. The 'Ham it up' accessory turns the dongle in to a DC to 1.766 ghz receiver, how great is that?
I'm going to use my one as a discrete (hidden from the wife!) receiver that I can use when I'm sitting at the computer in the lounge 😉 Shhh don't tell her!
Using a Raspberry Pi to display standards on a production line part 1
I work for one of the biggest bread manufacturers in the UK. A little while ago I was approached by our technical manager who had an idea about using a digital photo frame to display photo standards on our wrapping lines. I thought about her idea and suggested that there would be a better way to do it. I said that I would come back in a couple of days to show her what I had in mind.
My idea was to use a Raspberry Pi with a decent sized touch screen to display the images and provide an easy way to change image. I set about researching my idea and found that it would be possible to do using a bash script and FEH.

Holiday blues and assignments to do!
So i'm over half way through doing a degree in engineering with the OU and I have another deadline looming for my next assignment. I've got the blues from missing the lovely holiday sunshine in Portugal and I think that's what's making everything much harder! To top it off, I opened MS office only to find that my template format had gone all peculiar, or at least that's what I thought! I opened the online version of word that I get with Office 365 and my template opened perfectly, so what's changed in the week that I've been away? Office has a repair function that can be found my navigating to the control panel > programs and features > office 365 then click change and from here you get two options for repair. There's an offline repair function but I opted for the online repair, partly because it's going to delay the inevitable assignment on nano technology and partly because in my experience a short cut never works.
Well so much for not taking short cuts! After waiting an hour and to be greeted by a message saying that the repair was complete, I opened my document again to find that I still had the same problem. So, plan B it is then. I changed over to my desktop computer and voila! The file opened perfectly. So when I'm done with my assignment I'm going to have to go on another learning adventure to diagnose the problem on my laptop.
Oh well I guess I can't delay any further, I'm going to have to get on an finish my assignment. I'll be day dreaming about my new Raspberry Pi 2 and my holiday memories.

Ole Miss – Texas Football Game To Air On WREG News Channel 3
OXFORD, Miss. – The Rebels' Sept. 14 game at Texas will air live on the Longhorn Network, and that telecast will also be seen on several television stations throughout Mississippi and Memphis, including WREG News Channel 3.
The game will air at 7 p.m., after a News Channel 3 sports special at 6:30 p.m.
ESPN, the parent company of the Longhorn Network, agreed to work with Ole Miss Athletics to add live coverage in these markets that do not include the Longhorn Network in their basic cable packages, including Memphis.
"We are appreciative of ESPN's work in reaching out to the state of Mississippi and Memphis area TV stations to broadcast our game versus Texas," Ole Miss Athletics Director Ross Bjork said. "Because of our partnership with ESPN, they understood our minimum desire to make the game as accessible as possible in our state and the Memphis market. We are thankful to the local stations for allowing the game to be aired for Rebel Nation to see. Our team is focused and excited about the 2013 season, and we cannot wait to kick off on August 29."

Vancouver, British Columbia – February 10, 2016 – The walls of the home have the advantage of changing and transforming the space with the help of paint or wallpaper. A dramatic room can instantly be made soft and airy with the application of light pale paint color. While a room that feels too big can instantly feel cozy with darker wallpaper with a striking pattern. But measuring the exact square footage on wallpaper covering seems like a daunting task. To make this process easier, Shazcor now introduces "Wallpaper Calculator" to measure the exact square footage of the wallpaper or wallpaper covering product needed.
While speaking about this great feature, the spokesperson stated, "As the leading wallpaper installer in Vancouver, we are now offering a new service named 'Wallpaper Calculator' which helps you to easily estimate how much wallpaper or wall covering product you need."
He also continued, "In the given field, please choose the type of product you wish to calculate as well as the approximate square footage. If you are unsure of the total square footage, you can enter the room dimensions and the calculator will supply the appropriate quantities."
According to the spokesperson, the wallpaper calculator is for estimation purposes only and all areas to have wall covering should be measured by the professional before the ordering of any material. For wallpaper borders, simply measure the length needed and divide by the footage of the border roll to determine the number of rolls. This estimator will help the customers to assess how much wallpaper they need.
Since 2007, Shazcor hangs and installs quality wallpaper and wall coverings in the finest British tradition. Hundreds of Vancouver's top retailers and restaurants and discerning homeowners have trusted Shazcor with their wallpaper and wall covering needs. "Shazcor has the experience and knowledge to install a wide range of wallpapers and wall coverings. We offer turnkey installation services, including consultation, wallpaper removal, surface preparation and installations," added Khuram, a British-qualified paper hanger and Master Painter with more than 23 years' experience in wallpaper and wall covering installation in Vancouver.
"Working with Khuram has been a pleasure for me, and my clients. He is professional, friendly and reliable. Hanging wall covering can be a huge headache, but with Khuram I do not need to worry about the final outcome as it always looks impeccable. His attention to detail is superb," stated Joanna Howard, the satisfied customer of Shazcor.

Time For Surgery
I'm hours away from the surgery suite. I've gone through all the pre-operative exams and tests and all look good.
They use a system here where a physician who specializes in taking care of those in the hospital follows your progress from pre-admission to discharge.
My hospitalist will be there before surgery and later to coordinate pain management and whatever other issues arise.
On the advice of the surgeon, I'll have an epidural instead of general anesthesia. The epidural will be similar to what many women use for childbirth.
It numbs you from the waist down. The surgeon says an epidural reduces the complications of surgery and reduces blood loss during the hip replacement procedure.
I like the sounds of that.
What I didn't like was the thought that I'd hear the buzz of the saw and the bang of the hammers as the body carpenters set about their work. But they assure me I'll be under a light sedative in addition to the epidural and will wake up in recovery remembering nothing.
The Operation
I've watched a total hip replacement on the internet and it's fascinating. It lasts about an hour and twenty minutes. Having seen it from start to finish, I'm convinced orthopedic surgeons are engineers, artists and physicians all rolled into one.
In the beginning, surgeons were concerned with finding materials to replace the human hip that wouldn't wear out and would function as well as the original joint.
They've made such great progress in that regard that now attention is being focused on the operation itself.
Depending on the surgeon and the procedure he or she uses, the incision can vary from three to twelve inches. Recovery can be a matter of days or a matter of weeks.
Some procedures require physical therapy, others don't.
What To Expect
If all goes as planned, I'll be in the hospital two nights and released on Friday.
They tell me I'll be walking on the day of the surgery and will quickly move from walker to cane to needing nothing.
I can't wait.

My mother went through the same thing, to the point that taking a walk was impossible. Now, at 80, she can wear me out trying to follow her around. After it's done you'll wonder why you waited so long. She says that just being able to sleep seems like a miracle!ReplyDelete
Good luck and congratulations!

Would like to know the name of your procedure and doctor to look it up to see what is different with the procedure I will be under going. I am scheduled for hip replacement the end of January. They tell me their will be therapy and probably pretty unconfortable for a few days then back to the job in about a month. I am walking for 8 hours at a time at my work. But I have not heard anything as optimistic as your procedure sounds. Wish you the best.ReplyDelete

I had knee surgery on 30 November and I certainly feel your pain - you've been in my home for many years and will be for many more to come. Thoughts and prayers for your speedy recovery. Please tell us the name of your doctor, how you found him/her, and the difference between your procedure and the "usual" total hip replacement.

Found a very handy device that you might like better than the "cane" in the trunk. In the sports section of Wal-Mart around the exercising and hiking equipment, you will find walking poles. What makes them handy is that the poles collaspe to a length of around 18 - 24 inches for storage and have two kinds of rubber tips for walking on hard surfaces. Plus, when you remove the rubber tip, a metal spike is exposed which will assist you when walking on rough terrain. I bought two and was able to easily hike all over the hilly fields on my grandfather's farm with little fear of falling. (I have a right THR and will soon be facing a THR in the left hip.) It is essentially the theory behind the new exercise, pole walking, but the poles are a whole lot cheaper.ReplyDelete

This is so interesting and encouraging to us. Our daughter had the first ceramic on ceramic hips in Oklahoma in 1998 and 1999 during her Junior and Senior years of high school. She has done great...no problems yet at 29. However, someday she will probably need to have them redone. Perhaps by that time, this will be standard procedure. Thanks for sharing your story. Scott and Sue in YukonReplyDelete
I hope everything went well as planned. I could have never imagined how common hip surgery is today. Lots of people have gone through hip replacement, and it's encouraging to read post such as yours. I also had the chance to read an article about Depuy ASR Recall, which is kindda discomforting. Have you heard about this?ReplyDelete
Agree with all, I would suggest to also check hip replacement surgery video on youtube.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6RMJgNat8VkReplyDelete

TEMECULA, Calif. --The search is on for bank robbery suspects who took a cue from a Hollywood horror movie for their disguise. Sheriff's deputies say two suspects in "Scream" masks jumped over the counter of the U.S. Bank inside the Ralphs grocery store on Temecula Parkway on Wednesday. They demanded cash from the employees and then fled in a stolen white GMC Yukon.
Investigators aren't yet saying how much money the robbers got away with. The vehicle was found abandoned in a neighborhood south of the grocery store.
Both robbers were described as 5 feet 11 inches tall and about 180 pounds. Investigators are also looking for a woman with blonde hair who was seen driving the getaway vehicle.
Anyone with information on this robbery is asked to call the Riverside County Sheriff's Southwest station at (951) 696-3000.


text: No English hospital is safe as government bids for powers to close in 40 days 03 March 2014 Unite, the biggest union in England, is appealing to people to stop the government from taking sweeping powers that allow them to shut any English hospital in a matter of days without any consultation, in a hard hitting digital campaign launched today, (Monday 3 March) The union, which has over 100,000 members working in the NHS, says that with one in five hospitals swamped by debt, dozens of hospitals could be at risk of closure within 40 days, leaving communities suddenly bereft of local health care. The warning comes just days after Unite said that the government was appointing people who stand to make money out of privatising healthcare - such as ex M&S boss Sir Stuart Rose - to influential positions at the heart of the health service. Sir Stuart holds shares in Care UK, one of two private health companies bidding to take over the running of the threatened George Eliot hospital in Nuneaton. Unite – which recently announced it would commit to a concerted leverage campaign to target the businesses exploiting the NHS - says that with 230 MPs, most Conservative, holding interests in the private health industry, the public can no longer trust the government with the safe keeping of the health service. In the run up to the Commons consideration of the `hospital closure clause' (clause 119 of the Care bill), presently being rushed through parliament by the Conservatives, Unite is launching a digital campaign to help raise awareness of this latest shocking power grab, which comes in the wake of its defeat by the people of Lewisham who took the government to court over their plans to run down that hospital. Should the closure clause be passed by MPs clinical input into the decision making process will all but disappear. Reconfiguring NHS services can produce outstanding results. The London Stroke Plan hailed by politicians as an example of exemplary working across organisational boundaries has greatly improved clinical outcomes. It took many months of comprehensive consultation to make work, not 40 days. Launching the digital campaign to inform the public of the audacious attack on the NHS by the government, Rachael Maskell, Unite's head of health, said: "This latest assault by the government is breathtaking, attacking not just the NHS in England but people's right of protest too. "Such is the government's haste to transfer our greatest public asset, the NHS, to the private sector, they are willing to trample over people and communities to do so. But even more worryingly input from clinical professionals is all but swept away. "People need to know. Their hospital could close in a matter of days and there is not a single thing this government will let them do to stop it. Your views are not wanted. No English hospital is safe. "We only have days to stop this so we are appealing to people, take action - do not let this government take your NHS and do not let them gag you." Since April 2013 70 per cent of NHS contracts have gone to private and non NHS providers, thanks to the government's Health and Social Care Act 2012 which has unleashed a full blown competitive market into the NHS. Clause 118 (now 119) of the Care Bill allows for the privatisation or fast track, financially driven closure (in as little as 40 days) of hospitals at the whim of Westminster bureaucrats - no matter how successful, solvent or supported by the local community it is. It is set to be debated by MPs in the first few weeks of March 2014. ENDS For further information please contact Unite campaigns officer Chantal Chegrinec on 07774 146 777 Twitter: @unitetheunion Facebook: unitetheunion1 Notes to editors: • Full details of the campaign can be found at unitetheunion.org/clause119. Unite is calling on the public to Email their MPs. • Unite is calling for MPs and government NHS appointees with private healthcare interests in and all those who stand to profit from the NHS and the destruction of its public service to either resign their position or their links and declare any conflicts of interest. • Unite is Britain and Ireland's largest trade union with over 1.4 million members working across all sectors of the economy.

Healthy Eyes Start with a Healthy You
Welcome to VisionArts Eyecare Center
Comprehensive eye exams should include far more than merely determining a prescription for eyeglasses or contact lenses. At VisionArts Eyecare Center, we believe that Healthy Sight Starts with a Healthy You. We know that your eyes are indicators of your overall health, and we take time to get to know our patients, their health history, and their lifestyle and vision needs.
While eye care is our main focus, there's a lot more to VisionArts Eyecare Center. As Fulton's only locally owned and operated optometric practice for nearly 25 years, we are dedicated to giving back to our community. From our Visionarts Caring for Callaway fundraiser, to food drives, to The Great Glasses Play Day, there is always something fun and exciting happening at VisionArts!
BBQ Fundraiser Success!
We are thrilled to announce that with the proceeds raised at our BBQ, plus Dr. Vann and Cindy's generous donation of the cost of supplies, we are donating $3145 to Special Olympics Team Missouri for their trip to the National Games! We know they'll make us proud!
Nutrition is a vital part of maintaining vision and overall eye health, with many expert studies suggesting that up to 25% of all nutrient intake goes to supporting our invaluable visual system. Eating your way to good eye and visual health is easy with the right motivation and information.
Blue light, also known as high energy visible light, is emitted by many of these electronics and is a serious threat to eye health which was previously unknown and irrelevant in generations past. Eyestrain, headaches, and fatigue are common side effects. Fortunately blue light protecting glasses exist.
Dr. Vann specializes in children's eye exams, hard to fit contact lenses, removing foreign bodies, treating eye diseases and conditions such as dry eyes and computer vision syndrome. The clinic also offers LASIK consultations, non-surgical vision correction options such as Corneal Refractive Therapy.
New Arrivals!

Quick Reference
A tragedy in blank verse by N. Rowe, produced 1703.
The plot of the play is that of Massinger and Field's The Fatal Dowry, shortened and somewhat modified at the end. The 'haughty, gallant gay Lothario' (taken from Novall in the earlier play) has become proverbial, and was the model on which Richardson drew Lovelace in Clarissa.

Jewish World Review Dec. 1, 2010 24 Kislev, 5771
I'm now Biracial
By Roger Simon
Q: Where have you been for the last few weeks? Journalists no longer get vacations.
A: We do get work release. And after five years, we don't even have to wear an ankle bracelet.
Q: There seems to be something different about you.
A: I have legs now.
Q: They grew back! I told you honey and whiskey would work!
A: They didn't grow back. And honey and whiskey is for sore throats, not amputations. I have been at Prosthetic and Orthotic Associates in Orlando, Fla., getting prosthetic legs. And now I not only can walk, but I am about 6-feet, 1-and-a-half, or about two inches taller than I was.
Q: And how has that changed you?
A: All my pants are too short, and I am looking forward to going one-on-one with Celtics legend Bob Cousy.
Q: Bob Cousy is 82!
A: It should be fair then. But that's not the most important change in my body: I am now biracial below the waist.
Q: I think that's way too much information.
A: My right leg is white, and my left leg is black. I wear them as a symbol of the new biracial harmony in President Obama's America.
Q: What new biracial harmony?
A: Good question. But as Mahatma Gandhi once said — and he may have been quoting Al Gore — "You must be the change you want to see in the world."
Q: Are you making this up?
A: No. My left leg is this wicked-cool matte-black carbon fiber. And my right leg is currently covered in a white sock, but I could remove it to reveal a stainless steel pylon.
Q: So you are "Spiderman 3" on the left side and a "Transformer" on the right?
A: Exactly. And the possibility of a Roger Simon action figure has occurred to me.
Q: So what can you do with your new legs?
A: Walk.
Q: That's it? You can't fly or knock down buildings or battle super-villains?
A: I tried walking backward the other day.
Q: Why did you want to walk backward?
A: I didn't particularly; I am just trying new stuff. Like walking on a treadmill. I did that recently.
Q: For how long?
A: About three minutes.
Q: And you're proud of that?
A: I am proud of anything that doesn't involve me falling down.
Q: Big whoop. Iron Man competitions, here you come.
A: Actually, I met people in Orlando with prosthetic legs who do both regular triathlons and Iron Man triathlons all the time. They have special legs for swimming, for biking and for running. The running legs are the coolest. They look like the letter "C" with the knee on top and the ground on the bottom. They return a lot of energy to the body with each stride.
Q: And what special stuff do your legs do?
A: I find them excellent for getting me as far as the refrigerator and the bathroom. And as the weather gets better, I look forward to walking out on the deck to barbecue.
Q: Sounds grueling.
A: One day at a time. Actually, studies have found that bilateral bk's like me — people who have lost both legs below the knee — expend 300 percent more energy walking than fleshy people do.
Q: Fleshy people?
A: We have to call you something.
Q: So you are happy with your progress?
A: When I interviewed President Obama in the Oval Office in June, I was in a wheelchair and without legs. And I told him my goal was to dance at the White House Holiday Party in December.
Q: That was very brave of you.
A: Not really. There is no dancing at the White House Holiday Party.
Q: Can I ask you something personal? You smell different. All sort of fresh and powdery.
A: Oh, that's the baby ointment that I have to rub on my stumps before I put my prosthetic legs on. It smells like parents want their babies' bottoms to smell instead of how they really smell. Now, can I ask you a question? How do you know what I smell like?
Q: Oh, there's an app for that.

While it is true that a timeshare contract is a binding legal document, it is often mistakenly thought that such a contract cannot only be cancelled. In fact, most timeshare companies maintain that their contracts are non – cancellable. This misconception is perpetuated by timeshare companies and user groups that are funded, maintained and controlled by the timeshare industry.
The FHA 203k loan program provides home buyers the opportunity to buy and fix up a property, without exhausting their personal savings.
I guess you can say the lenders are managing their risk by limiting or not doing FHA insured mortgages. Can you blame them.
That is one answer. The other answer is if there is any way in the world for someone to put down 5% and go conventional anyone would be a fool to take a FHA mortgage with the ridiculously high MIP... that btw does not ever go away for the minimum down payment 30 year note.
This good news for mortgage brokers who have access to lenders who can do mortgages for these borrowers.

Injectable steroids are injected into muscle tissue, not into the veins. They are slowly released from the muscles into the rest of the body, and may be detectable for months after last use. Injectable steroids can be oil-based or water-based. Injectable anabolic steroids which are oil-based have longer half-life than water-based steroids. Both steroid types have much longer half-lives than oral anabolic steroids. And this is proving to be a drawback for injectables as they have high probability of being detected in drug screening since their clearance times tend to be longer than orals. Athletes resolve this problem by using injectable testosterone early in the cycle then switch to orals when approaching the end of the cycle and drug testing is imminent.
For the off-season athlete there is no anabolic steroid more important or beneficial than testosterone. High levels of testosterone will promote significant increases in lean muscle mass and strength. This is assuming that the individual is consuming adequate calories. Compounds like Testosterone Propionate are not magical, you will still need to feed your body enough calories. During an off-season period of growth, this means total caloric intake will need to be slightly above maintenance. This will, unfortunately, promote body fat gain. However, the key to a successful off-season is gaining lean tissue while minimizing body fat gain to the fullest extent possible. By supplementing with Testosterone Propionate you will be able to achieve this more efficiently. High testosterone levels will promote a stronger metabolic rate. This is not a license to eat like there's no end in sight, but you should be able to make better use of your calories.

TennCare Joins the Catalyst for Payment Reform
Wednesday, December 19, 2012 | 09:29am
Health care purchasers look towards ways to improve quality and reduce costs
NASHVILLE – The Bureau of TennCare announced today its decision to join Catalyst for Payment Reform (CPR). CPR is a national independent organization led by large purchasers of health insurance with active involvement of providers, health plans, consumers and labor groups working to improve health care quality and reduce costs by identifying and coordinating workable solutions to improve how health care is paid for in the U.S.
TennCare joins more than 20 other large purchasers of health insurance in this effort. This includes companies such as FedEx, GE, Intel, Verizon, Xerox, 3M and Walmart as well as two other state Medicaid programs – South Carolina and Ohio. Purchasing partners interact on a regular basis with major health insurance companies such as Aetna, CIGNA, UnitedHealthcare and WellPoint to discuss progress in advancing innovations, paying for value and aligning payments with purchaser goals.
"I fully support the decision made by the Bureau of TennCare to join CPR," Gov. Haslam said. "Participating in this initiative demonstrates the development of a public/private partnership which has the potential to improve our state and guide the health care system in the proper direction."
CPR provides member organizations with resources such as market assessment tools, model health plan contract language, action briefs, payment framework and opportunities to collaborative and share best practices with other CPR member organizations. The members of CPR share a common interest in designing payment methodologies that cut waste and reflect performance, create alignment between purchasers and federal organizations such as the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) and the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), and implement price transparency and value pricing.
"Joining CPR was a logical next step for TennCare," said Health Care Finance and Administration Deputy Commissioner Darin Gordon. "The goals and approaches of this group align with several current TennCare initiatives aimed at accelerating payment reform in Tennessee, with the ultimate goal of moving away from fee-for-service type payments towards models that reward providers for the efficient delivery of high quality care."
TennCare's commitment to CPR includes performing a self assessment of capabilities and coordination with current plans, using CPR model health plan contract language when appropriate and participating in coordinated initiatives with other purchasers.

"The glory of God is man fully alive." – St. Irenaeus

"The glory of God is man fully alive." – St. Irenaeus

Man fully alive is when a man's physical and spiritual life are both in union with God's will and that will is being put into action through serving others as Christ has served us.
Man (encompassing men AND women), using the gifts God has given to him/her and LIVING life…not just biding time on this journey to heaven. Enjoying life to the fullest…helping others along the way…sharing faith…being people of integrity…being people of joy, even in the face of adversity! I
Especially in the face of adversity.
Jesus! He is the man who was and is fully alive and capable of making us fully alive (John 10:10). In transforming humanity and giving to it the possibility of fullness of life, He became/was revealed as the glory of God (John 17:4).
It doesn't really matter what I think it means…it matters what the Church thinks it means…which is:
294 The glory of God consists in the realization of this manifestation and communication of his goodness, for which the world was created. God made us "to be his sons through Jesus Christ, according to the purpose of his will, to the praise of his glorious grace",[138] for "the glory of God is man fully alive; moreover man's life is the vision of God: if God's revelation through creation has already obtained life for all the beings that dwell on earth, how much more will the Word's manifestation of the Father obtain life for those who see God."[139] The ultimate purpose of creation is that God "who is the creator of all things may at last become "all in all", thus simultaneously assuring his own glory and our beatitude."[140]
Fully Alive is the textbook we used in elementary religion class in Ontario Catholic schools ;)
I also used a text called "Fully Alive and Fully Human" in a philosophy class I took in college. It really brought the importance (not over-importance however) of our humanity to my mind. It is not just that we live for God alone and blindly reject our humanity. No. This flies in the very face of the Incarnation. But this is yet another lie the Evil One will have us believe if we are not prayerful people. Pray unceasingly my brothers and sisters. Jesus is both God and human. What a God!
For me this quotation reflects the image of Jesus, a man who was fully alive. He was physically fit, mentally alert and full of the Holy Spirit. That is what our Lord hopes for us to become, to be fully alive in Christ. We therefore achieve full balance in our spirit, mind and body and reflect the glory of God.
God's Glory….His Brillance, His love, His ever-lasting unconditional Love…Man fully alive…when God created us, He created us by reflecting his image and likeness into us. When we are fully WHO WE ARE, with all our faults, our dreams, desires, hopes, challenges, and all obstacles, when we can confront all the negative things, and believe only in the positive outcome…when we can smile after a long day and thank God, for everything…we are fully alive, and Gods glory has been redeemed…
I've heard it said, God is glorified in us when we are satisfied in Him. Though this statement is not directly found in scripture, (nor the quote that we are all responding to) it does resonate within me. I believe that we are fully alive when we step into the thing that we have been created to do. Our desires, gifts, personalities and dreams, if we get honest with ourselves, all point us to the calling and purposes of God that was planned for us before we were even born according to Ephesians 2:10. "For we are God's workmanship created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do." There is nothing better than waking up in the morning with the sense that we were created for God's glory.
"The glory of God is man fully alive."
There's wisdom behind this statement. It is when I am authentically and fully me that God manifests Godself to me. That's why God chose to manifest Godself to us in the person of Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ was 'truly human' (and truly God, ofcourse) and it is in His full humanity that we see the glory of God. So I urge you all to be the best and fullest YOU that you can be. That's our truest calling or vocation in life.
The glory of God is man fully alive means that the Father, SOn, and Spirit created the human race to share in their shared life and love. (adoption accomplished already in Jesus) To glorify God is to live loved in the Father's embrace fully enjoying all of the gifts He has given us. To enjoy bbq's, fine Scotch, love-making, laughter, food, friendship, football, fishing, singing, working, living, loving, and dreaming -just to name a few! To glorify God is to enjoy all of these things as He intended and to do so without religion but in the freedom Jesus has shared with us.
What this quote means to me. Those who have been loved will know what it is like to be fully alive. This quote below explains the difference of being born and fully alive.
"The Notion of the "Good": If only God is "good," then we can experience and know the "good" only in the experience of ourselves in the act of imaging God as being related to (the Logos) and relating to others by making the gift of ourselves."
Ratzinger: "The root of man's joy is the harmony he enjoys with himself. He lives in this affirmation. And only one who can accept himself can also accept the thou, can accept the world. The reason why an individual cannot accept the thou, cannot come to terms with him, is that he does not like his own I and, for that reason, cannot accept a thou."
"Something strange happens here. We have seen that the inability to accept one's I leads to the inability to accept a thou. But how does one go about affirming, assenting to, one's I? The answer may perhaps be unexpected: We cannot do so by our own efforts alone. Of ourselves, we cannot come to terms with ourselves. Our I becomes acceptable to us only if it has first become acceptable to another I. We can love ourselves only if we have first been loved by someone else. The life a mother gives to her child is not just physical life, she gives total life when she takes the child's tears and turns them into smiles. It is only when life has been accepted and is perceived as accepted that it becomes acceptable. Man is that strange creature that needs not just physical birth but also appreciation if he is to subsist. This is the root of the phenomenon known as hospitalism. When the initial harmony of our existence has been rejected, when that psycho-physical oneness has been ruptured by which the 'Yes, it is good that you are alive' sinks, with life itself, deep into the core of the unconscious – then birth itself is interrupted; existence itself is not completely established…. (T)he charism of revolution has been for a long time not just remonstrance against reparable injustices but protestation against existence itself, which has not experienced its acceptance and hence does not know that it is acceptable. If an individual is to accept himself, someone must say to him: 'It is good that you exist' – must say it, not with words, but with that act of the entire being that we call love. For it is the way of love to will the other's existence and, at the same time, to bring that existence forth again. The key to the I lies with the thou; the way to the thou leads through the I."
The quote is more accurately rendered, "The glory of God is a living man; and the life of man consists in beholding God." When read in context this qoute is talking about Jesus being the man who is God's glory in the fullest and in beholding this man humanity comes fully alive.

Previous post: South Dakota: Abortionists must now tell the truth


text:
Voters set Mrs Merkel free from the shackles of constant compromise with her Left-wing rivals. Sunday's result delivered a strong and radical partner in Germany's liberals, who will act as the champions of change.
With its solid majority, the new coalition is perfectly placed to deliver a more dynamic economy, but will need strong nerves to overcome an inevitable backlash.
There is already a hard core of Germans dependent on the state and deeply dissatisfied with their predicament. Yet, with its pension system facing a substantial funding gap, a bloated social security system and an unreformed education system, the state's long-run liabilities must be curtailed and resources better allocated. An over-regulated economy that stymies entrepreneurship must be overhauled.
As unemployment spirals, the danger is that social discord will derail the reformist agenda.
For the first time since taking office as chancellor in 2005, Mrs Merkel will face a bitter opposition that will seek to capitalise on the discontent that significant reforms are bound to engender.
Left-wing parties have emerged divided, but will be strident in their criticism of the painful cutbacks necessary to deliver tax cuts while reining in public expenditure.
But pressure for change within the conservative factions is equally strong. Mrs Merkel's manifesto had already promised £15 billion pounds of tax cuts and politicians in Bavaria, Germany's richest state, have pressed for more. Guido Westerwelle, the leader of the liberals, is an impassioned proponent of free market ideas that revolve around reducing the role of the state and increasing the role of the individual in the economy.
The German leader's consensual style was well suited to the politics of compromise imposed by co-habitation with the social democrats. Pundits hope that those qualities can be put to good use as the helmsman of a more adventurous government.
"We'll see more of her reformer's face" said Carsten Brzeski, an ING economist in Brussels, said. "We will definitely see some easing of the tax burden." The aging population is imposing a burden that even Germany's formidable industrial machine can no longer bear.
One of the ironies of the vote was that voters were very satisified with the grand coalition's handling of the global financial crisis. But if Germany has had a good recession so far, the clouds are gathering anew.
Costly short-term palliatives, such as financial subsidies to keep workers in jobs and extra expenditure on infrastructure, are not sustainable in the long run.
Most analysts agree that Germany cannot rely on being the high-end workshop of the world - it was the largest exporter until this year - for very much longer.
Politics in the new Germany are about to become a lot more exciting.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Thursday night matchups are the closest thing to a lock there is in today's NFL.
Heading into Tampa Bay's midweek game at Minnesota, home teams are 5-1 on Thursdays this season, an .833 winning percentage; the only loss was by the struggling Panthers against the visiting Super Bowl champion Giants. Home teams are 12-3 on Thursdays over the past two years.
Those records are far better than the .602 winning percentage NFL home teams have enjoyed in all other games this season and the .571 they have since the start of the 2011 season, according to STATS LLC.
Clearly, avoiding the road helps on the short weeks that players say are hardest on their bodies — and that the league says will remain a staple of the schedule.
