Bloomberg View:
As a fellow budget wonk, I like Paul Ryan a lot. But his policy proposals fall far short of his winning personality.
Ryan, the Wisconsin representative Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney announced today as his running mate, is both thoughtful and prolific. I could have many policy debates with him on a range of issues. Today, though, I'm going to focus on health care. Ryan's approach to health care is somewhat akin to a doctor observing that an arm is finally showing some signs of healing -- and then deciding to amputate it.
Over the past several years, health-care costs have decelerated dramatically -- suggesting our broken arm may slowly be starting to heal. But rather than reinforcing that progress, Ryan would chart a drastically different course, one that would not only shift substantial risk to beneficiaries but also, according to the Congressional Budget Office, actually raise health-care costs.
First, the good news. A report released last week by the Altarum Institute estimates that health-care costs have risen less than 4 percent over the past 12 months. The conventional wisdom to date has been that this slowdown, which has persisted for years now, is due to the weak economy. As the economy recovers, under this view, cost increases will spike again -- and if so, Ryan's toxic medicine could be seen as worth a try.
Doubt Cast
A growing body of evidence, though, casts doubt on this cyclical explanation. Altarum Institute researchers, in a separate report published last week in the New England Journal of Medicine, note that the slowdown predates the recession, making it difficult to argue it is solely due to the downturn. Evidence from Medicare suggests the same thing: A simple analysis shows no statistically significant relationship between Medicare spending trends across states between 2007 and 2010 and the rise of unemployment in each state over that period, suggesting something other than just the economy is at play.
Instead, as I have written, a number of structural changes -- including actual and anticipated payment reform, and the expanded use of information technology to drive clinical decisions -- are playing at least some role in slowing the growth of health-care costs. Along with others, I have put forward numerous proposals to reinforce these trends.
Our proposals have three core attributes: They build on recent progress, they recognize there is no one simple solution to increase value in health care, and they emphasize the role of providers rather than insurance companies in improving that value.
Ryan, by contrast, ignores the recent progress -- which in some sense is understandable, lest he diminish the energy for his own radically different course. Ryan is enamored with one big but wrong idea: that all we need to do is reshuffle risks and health-care costs will magically decelerate. He would shift risk onto Medicare beneficiaries through his premium support proposal and onto state governments by block-granting Medicaid. Both would rely substantially on insurance companies to make them work, and neither is likely to turn out the way he says.
Let's start with the Medicaid proposal. Under the Ryan budget, states would receive a fixed grant to run Medicaid programs, rather than sharing in the cost with the federal government. The grants would not keep pace with economic growth, let alone with projected health-care costs. Voila! Problem fixed, right? Under current law, federal Medicaid spending is projected to rise from about 2 percent of GDP today to about 4 percent by 2040. Under the Ryan budget, it is instead projected to fall from 2 percent of GDP today to about 1 percent by 2040.
Spending Reduced
But how will this change reduce total Medicaid spending by anything like 75 percent of projected expenses? One explanation is that states will turn to insurance companies to help manage more of their beneficiaries. That is unlikely to produce anything like the necessary savings. And if it doesn't, states will find themselves ever more on the hook for the difference.
Ryan provides no explanation for how state governments, already facing threatening fiscal gaps, will be able to handle the growing gap.
One more point: A substantial share of the apparent federal deficit reduction over the next few decades under the Ryan budget is due to this Medicaid risk shift. Without any details about how implausibly large reductions will be achieved in practice, the whole Medicaid proposal appears as a massive magic asterisk rather than a bold idea.
What about Medicare? Under the Ryan budget, after some time, the government would issue payments that would allow new Medicare beneficiaries to purchase insurance from private firms. The payments would not keep pace with currently projected health-care spending (notice a theme here?), and as a result would appear to reduce costs for the federal government.
We don't have a full analysis from the CBO of the most recent rendition of the Ryan plan, so I'm forced to rely on CBO's analysis of his plan from 2011. (If Ryan believes that changes to his plan since then would result in any different conclusions, he should request that CBO publish an updated analysis.)
CBO's analysis, not surprisingly, confirms that federal expenditures under the Ryan Medicare plan would be reduced sharply. Federal payments for a typical beneficiary by 2030, for example, would be more than 20 percent lower than current projections.
But CBO also analyzed a more relevant question: What would happen to total health-care costs, including the extra costs for the beneficiaries as the federal share was reduced? Total costs are what matters, since simply shifting costs around without altering the total does not accomplish much.
Costs Shared
According to CBO, Ryan's plan would not reduce total health-care costs. Instead, it would increase the total, because more cost-sharing for consumers doesn't do that much to constrain spending and because private plans have higher administrative costs and less negotiating leverage than the federal Medicare program.
You read that right: According to CBO, the Ryan Medicare plan would increase health-care spending. In 2030, total health- care spending for the typical beneficiary would be more than 40 percent higher under the Ryan plan than under existing Medicare.
Again, I like Paul Ryan. But that doesn't mean his Medicare and Medicaid ideas make any sense. They'd shift too much risk to individuals and states at a time when we're finally making solid progress in slowing health-care costs, and the rhetoric surrounding them claims savings that are never going to materialize. That makes Ryan's proposals problematic, unnecessary and misleading.

And beautiful? Indeed:
The last which I've just ordered myself – the Roxy, which is probably the set I've been most excited about in my life. Massive kudos to Elomi for making one of the only longline bra above G! It still doesn't come quite in my usual J/JJ-cup, I am hoping it runs a cup large (as I've experienced some Elomi bras does!), as I simply can't let this beautiful bra slip past me! :D And the bottoms too! Even though my band size doesn't limit me to brands that specialize in fuller figures, my butt does! I've had very little success with most other brands in this department, so I'm thrilled of the prospect of the bottom of a set fitting me well!
So, without further ado, Elomi has generously put up their bestselling set Elomi Caitlyn in Black or Pearl Black (L8030 and EL8035) to be gifted to a lucky reader here on my blog!

For Fall 2012, Mary Katrantzou was inspired by everyday items: wrist watches, coat hangers, typewriter keyboards, spoons, and most notably No.2 HB pencils.
You may have had to do a double take, but these are items which make up her vibrant prints for the season.
The most impressive thing about the pencils is that they were embroidered and shaped onto the skirt rather than being a print. I would imagine it would be difficult to sit in, and therefore, when this look goes into production, I'm sure it will be a print.
Mary gave us architectural shapes on a colour palette of canary yellow, emerald green, ruby red and ocean blue, alongside light chiffon pieces with floaty ruffled skirts.
I don't recall Mary presenting knits in the past, so as someone who loves a sweater dress, I was excited to see these pieces presented with large turtle necks.
Funnel neck coats, beaded pants, off-the-shoulder sculptural tops, capes, ruffle-neck long-sleeve dresses and a long-sleeve gown were presented.
With more and more celebs falling in love with Mary Katrantzou, I'm sure we will be seeing these pieces on the red carpet soon.
I just hope they pair the looks with the gorgeous coloured Christian Louboutin pumps and ankle boots we saw at the show.
Front Row: Alexa Chung and Anna Wintour
Who I See Wearing This Collection: Leelee Sobieski, Leigh Lezark, Keira Knightley, Nicki Minaj, Katy Perry, Tilda Swinton and Rihanna

Moore pledges $5M to USC, Haley weighs in
Lawmaker: Ousted Darla Moore not interested in returning to USC board
COLUMBIA (WACH/AP) -- University of South Carolina President Harris Pastides says a generous gift from a South Carolina businesswoman and philanthropist will provide support for the school's new research center for the aerospace industry.
Pastides announced the $5 million dollar gift from Anita Zucker at a news conference Thursday morning. He says the gift will specifically support innovation in aerospace education and workforce development.
"I have had a long working relationship with the faculty at USC and can attest firsthand to the impact of their research. it has proven to be a tremendous benefit to our engineers and helped to improve our products," said Zucker, chairman and CEO of The InterTech Group, owner of PBI Performance Products. "The growth of South Carolina's economy, especially in high-tech fields, is dependent upon the development of a highly educated workforce. I'm excited to be a part of supporting the expansion of aerospace education in our state and pleased to support the McNair Center as a leader in that endeavor."
The McNair Center is named after Ronald McNair, the Lake City native who was among the astronauts who died in the space shuttle Challenger explosion in 1986.
Zucker's donation endow a new professorship in USC's McNair Center for Aerospace Innovation and Research.
"Anita's generosity and shared vision that South Carolina can advance the future of air and space flight has enabled us to recruit a world=renowned expert to lead our efforts," said Pastides.
The McNair Chair has attracted Zafer Gurdal, from the Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands to serve as technical director of the McNair Center.

Hello everyone and a very happy Tuesday to you all!
I am yay happy today, because my favourite artist opened her new Store on Etsy! Yes!
And she has been kind enough to offer a 30% discount too, available for followers in her Facebook group.
Of course, I had to go take a look, and I found three images there that I don't own yet, somehow those three ended up dropping into my basket. I have idea how, it was the strangest thing! Thank goodness for that discount code eh?! Tee hee.
This awesome image is called Tori The Dragon Up and I purchased him from the brand new Conie Fong store on Etsy. (Yes I'm smiling being able to put that! Tee hee._)
To bring him to life I used my Copics and my clear Spectrum Noir Clear Glitter Pen.
Dragon Green.
Dragon Cheek.
Dragon Toes.
Dragon Tummy & Blue Balloon.
Green Balloon.
White Balloon.
I absolutely adore my Spectrum Noir Clear Glitter Pen. It is so SPARKLY and you can still (more or less) see my shading underneath it! Smiles.
My Celebrate sentiment is my own, computer generated one. I thought it was fitting for celebrating the store opening, and also the card can be used for more than a Birthday if necessary.
The frame I drew around him freehand in my Serif Craft Artist software.
The beautifully embossed star card I got from That Craft Place. I adore this card so much I bought an extra two packs, after using up my first one. Grins.
The twine is actually nylon string, which I picked up the last time I was at my (fairly) local hardware store. I do that a lot, we can be in any kind of shop, it doesn't matter what kind, and I will always still be on the look out for something which I can use in my card making. Smiles.
Thank you so much for stopping by today.
Hugs & Happy Crafting Everyone!
The challenges I am entering this one into are:-
1. Cardz 4 Guyz – Make It Shine or Sparkle.
2. Crafting From The Heart – Anything Goes.
3. Craft Your Passion – Anything Goes.
4. Creative Card Crew – Anything Goes.

Huawei has announced its new flagship, the P9, which features two Leica cameras, one colour and one monochrome, that are claimed to work in tandem to produce sharper images.
The Huawei P9 is the first smartphone co-engineered with Leica following the announcement of the company's ongoing partnership last month.
The dual-cameras feature multiple layers of lenses and can combine the images from both cameras to generate a flexible focus that can be shifted after the photo is taken.
Huawei says the system also allows the P9 to 'truly excel' in low-light conditions, as the dual-camera design can absorb more light than traditional smartphone cameras.
The P9 also features a 5.2-inch 1080p display and is powered by a Kirin 955 2.5GHz 64-bit ARM-based processor which should be roughly equivalent in power to Qualcomm's recently release Snapdragon 820.
The phone has an integrated 3,000mAh battery that Huawei claims can deliver battery life equivalent to about 1.5 days.
Huawei is also releasing the P9 Plus, a larger variant featuring a 5.5-inch screen, 3,400mAh battery and a 'Press Touch' display that uses the same technology as the iPhone's 'Force Touch' feature.
The P9 Plus offers dual-IC Rapid Charge, giving users six hours of talk time after a 10-minute charge.
At a press conference for the device's release, Huawei made numerous comparisons to the iPhone 6s, claiming that its camera and other features were superior. The comparisons are apparent when considering the visual aesthetic of the device which uses many of the same design elements of its more successful rival.
"Huawei is excited to give P9 users the best smartphone photography experience by leveraging the unrivalled capabilities of Leica, the leader in the world of imaging for more than 100 years," said Richard Yu, CEO Huawei Consumer Business Group.
"Consumers around the world use their smartphones to take billions of pictures each year, making photography critical to user experience. P9 users can now capture images with unmatched clarity, richness and authenticity, with a masterfully designed and powerful smartphone that looks and feels incredible."
The P9 will be available in 'Mystic Silver' and 'Titanium Grey' at £449 for the 3GB/32G version.

In 2016, over 17,500,000 people bought new cars in America. That means that on a daily basis, including holidays, 47,945 people took the plunge. That is almost 2000 per hour, 7 days a week, 24 hours a day. Remember too, many other people visited a dealership and for one reason or another, didn't buy. Is it any wonder dealerships are so busy and that it takes a while to buy a car?
There are things you can do to make the process faster in many cases, but it takes doing a little homework. Here are some good tips to speed things up:
1. Don't just show up at a dealership.
Establish communication by phone or Internet and let them know you are coming, and when. Do your best to meet the agreed upon time. Most people in sales work on commission to feed their families. Take it from me, there is nothing worse than waiting for an appointment and not being able to start working with a new customer.
2. Try to select the vehicle you want from their website.
If you are pretty sure what you want to purchase, try to match your desires to their inventory and let them know which vehicle it is, in advance and ask them to locate the car. Often, inventory on their website was sold previously, but the paperwork is not complete. The car you want may be sitting at an offsite location buried behind five or more other vehicles. Keys get lost, batteries go down, things just happen. A good dealership will locate the car you want and having it sitting up front when you arrive, often washed.
3. Get a feel for the market.
Know what cars are hot and which ones are not. This will have an effect on what kind of deal you get. I had a listener to my show tell a Subaru dealer the other day that she "started negotiating at $200 over invoice and went down from there." Needless to say, she didn't buy a car. A little research online, like using Edmunds.com TMV (True Market Value) tool and she'd have known market demand is great than supply on Forester.
4. Know your credit score and what interest rate you can get.
It is always a good idea to know your credit score if you are going to finance a vehicle, and it is also good to know what interest rate you can get from your bank or credit union. If your dealer can match or even beat the best interest rate you can get, let them do the financing for you and make it a one-stop shopping experience.
5. Know the incentives.
You can find out online what the consumer incentives are from auto manufacturers. These should not be confused with discounts, they are two separate items. Some dealers will try to lump them together to show you a larger reduction from the MSRP of the vehicle. Know your choices in the case of a low interest rate versus a cash rebate. There is always a link in the Car Pro Newsletter to give you all the incentives, by brand.
6. If possible, go to the dealership mid-week.
Many people have no choice but to car shop on weekends when they are off. However, if it is possible, go in the middle of the week when the dealership is quieter and they can spend more time with you without being rushed.
In conclusion…
There are some things you can't do in advance, and in spite of all your research, you will still have questions, and questions take time. Patience on your part, and the part of the salesperson, can make a huge difference in whether you leave a dealership feeling good or bad about your experience. The tips above will certainly aid in making sure you get a great deal in the shortest time possible.

Quick Reference
A historical drama. Shakespeare has been claimed as its sole author, but it is usually held that he was responsible for less than half of the play, the remainder being written by J. Fletcher. Its performance in June 1613 resulted in the burning down of the Globe Theatre.
It deals with the fall and execution of the duke of Buckingham; the question of the royal divorce (vividly depicting the dignity and resignation of Queen Catherine); the pride and fall of Cardinal Wolsey and his death; the advancement and coronation of Anne Boleyn; the triumph of Cranmer over his enemies; and the christening of the Princess Elizabeth.
The chief sources of the play are Holinshed's Chronicles and Foxe's Actes and Monuments (or Book of Martyrs).

Big Ivy Historical Park
The Big Ivy Historical Society has developed the Big Ivy Historical Park to preserve the unique history of the area encompassing Dillingham and Barnardsville, North Carolina.
The park sits on the site of a 1930s CCC camp and contains the pre-Civil War cabin of Henry Stevens Carson, grandson of the founding family, Absolum and Rebecca Dillingham, of what is now known as the Big Ivy Community. Related outbuildings, a replica of the 1890's one-room community school, and the Big Ivy Community Center and swimming pool are also located within the park.
On display in the One Room School house is the diorama of the building of the Blue Ridge Parkway by the Civilian Conservation Corps.
The Little Snowball Mountain Fire Tower, a relic of early forest fire detection and suppression efforts, formerly sat atop Little Snowball Mountain, near the Blue Ridge Parkway's Craggy Gardens. The tower is now in Big Ivy, the community which it protected. The American flag flying atop the Fire Tower was flown over the U.S. Capitol in honor of the Big Ivy Historical Society.
Hours of Operation
Mountain Harvest Day is celebrated on the second Saturday in October. The newly erected molasses mill is put to full use that day with cane cooking and molasses production.

As a school we know that physically healthy children learn well and quickly and develop good self-esteem and confidence.
Janvrin School has pioneered the development of a specialist PE teacher, who teaches PE to all children throughout the school. Mr Ashton develops the curriculum for each class and year group to ensure that all children develop the required skills and experiences needed in this area.
Mr Ashton has also developed initiatives that have encouraged healthy eating at school and at home and has also introduced before school and after school activity clubs. These are hugely popular with the children and are a brilliant way to start and finish the school day.
Children learn their PE skills through standard games as well as activities such as swimming (starting in Reception), dancing, fencing, touch rugby, Gaelic football etc
Janvrin School produces excellent teams for:
• football (boys and girls teams: we currently train 3 squads for football)
• netball (current Primary division champions)
• athletics
• cross country
• hard ball cricket

A couple of former Lake Zurich football teammates, J.J. Raffelson and Jack Lynn, made their mark at the collegiate level this fall.
Raffelson, a Western Illinois University redshirt-freshman linebacker, was named a finalist for the Jerry Rice Award. The Sports Network announced the finalists Nov. 19 for the nation's top freshman.
The Rice Award, in its second year, is named for legendary wide receiver Jerry Rice, who was a two-time first-team all-American in the FCS (then Division I-AA) at Mississippi Valley State. The award was voted on by a national panel of sports information and media relations directors, broadcasters, writers and other dignitaries and will be presented at the FCS Awards Banquet and Presentation on Dec. 17 in Philadelphia.
Raffelson was one of 20 on the final ballot and one of three representing the Missouri Valley Football Conference.
Raffelson became the first Leatherneck freshman in the Division I era to lead the team in tackles, finishing with 105. He started all 11 games at middle linebacker and tallied 18 more tackles than the next closest Leatherneck. His total tackles (9.6 per game) were the third-most by a freshman in all of NCAA Division I FCS and tied for 32nd overall nationally.
Five times during the season Raffelson finished with 10-plus tackles, including a season-high 13 on three occasions -- Illinois State, Indiana State and Youngstown State. He also recorded 12 stops vs. Indianapolis and 11 against Northern Iowa.
Lynn, a University of Minnesota freshman linebacker, redshirted this season, but his contributions did not go unnoticed by the Golden Gophers. He was named defensive work team player of the year.

Fractional Resurfacing
ProFractional uses a tiny laser beam to treat thousands of pinpoint areas of your skin. Because only a fraction of your skin is directly treated with the laser, the surrounding untreated tissue promotes rapid healing. This skin's wound healing response creates new collagen which add firmness and resilience to the skin.
BBL Phototherapy
BBL is an innovative technology that sets new standards for skin conditions associated with aging, active life-styles, and sun damage. BBL energy allows your physician to precisely treat age and sun spots, small facial veins, and many other skin conditions. Your treatment will be tailored to match your skin type and your desired results.
The light energy delivered by the BBL will gently heat the upper layers of your skin. The heat absorbed by the targeted areas will stimulate your skin cells to regenerate new collagen. This process will restore your skin to its natural beauty, blending its natural colors and making it smoother, vibrant and younger looking. In addition, the photothermal energy will eliminate fine vessels that cause redness and reduce unwanted melanin that produces pigmented lesions. The BBL is best for freckles, age spots, small blood vessels, acne, skin firmness and uneven skin texture.
Micro Laser Peel
A Micro Laser Peel removes a thin layer of damaged skin to improve texture and provide a more youthful appearance. It provides superior results because it can be administered with great precision of depth. The Micro Laser Peel's beam is scanned over a treatment area to remove a very thin layer of the skin. Removing the top layer eliminates some of the damaged cells that can give skin a tired, aged look. As the skin heals, fresh cells grow and resurface the treated area. The result is healthier-looking skin, often with reduced wrinkles and improved color evenness. Patients often say that it looks like their skin went from looking tired to vibrant. The Micro Laser Peel will treat mild wrinkles, scars, keratosis, sun damage, freckles and pigment irregularities.
Laser Peel
As we age, the effects of sun damage and environmental pollutants take their toll on our skin, creating wrinkles and pigment irregularities, especially on our faces. A Laser Peel can be very successful at reducing or eliminating these conditions, and in fact it is the best way to address the problematic lines that occur around the mouth and eyes. Though there are several different types of lasers used to perform peels, the Contour TRL is widely regarded as the safest, most effective laser available.
Contour TRL safely removes a layer of skin to a depth determined by your physician. The depth of treatment will depend on the skin condition, your desired outcome and expectation for downtime. Treating skin with a laser stimulates the growth of new collagen, which improves the skin's thickness and resilience. The skin surface will also re-grow with fresh, healthy cells, which will give your skin a younger rejuvenated appearance. Laser peels are great to help treat deep wrinkles (even in difficult to treat areas like around the mouth and eyes), scars, solar spots, actinic keratoses, poor skin tone/texture.

Kohl painkiller bill reappears in waning days of Senate term; AHCA voices objections
Aging Committee chief hears complaints about nursing homes
A bill meant to provide relief for nursing home residents who need painkillers would create the possibility of huge penalties for healthcare practitioners and long-term care facilities, a top lobbyist warned yesterday.
The Nursing Home Resident Pain Relief Act of 2011 (S. 1560) first appeared in Sept. 2011 from Sen. Herb Kohl (D-WI) but had been out of the limelight. Now, it is slated to appear for mark-up by the Senate Committee on the Judiciary on Thursday.
The measure would make it easier for physicians to give oral instructions on who can administer pain-relieving controlled substances when residents need immediate pain relief. But it also requires extensive written records and proposes strong criminal and civil penalties if the drugs are diverted, or recordkeeping requirements are violated.
That's the part the American Health Care Association objects to, saying it could result in thousands of dollars in penalties, or even prison, for operators and healthcare employees — including medical directors and physicians — in the event of paperwork errors.
None of the alternate suggestions proposed by AHCA over the past year were adopted, association officials said. The bill "is still a hot mess," said Jeff Myers, AHCA's senior vice president of policy and government relations.
"It's a giant overstep," Myers explained. "We're concerned that there is no House companion and that there's an attempt to slide it in at the end of the term."
A Judiciary Committee staff member said Tuesday "we are working with the Department of Justice and stakeholders to address industry concerns."
Kohl is retiring at the end of this Senate term. But in 2011, the Senator said nursing home residents often have to wait too long for painkillers. "This legislation would help end these needless and avoidable delays," he said.
The American Medical Directors Association did not return calls seeking comment Tuesday. But AMDA's interim executive director, Harvey Tillipman, wrote a letter of support for a revised version of the bill on Oct. 31, 2012, saying his members appreciated Kohl's efforts to "address the issue of ensuring nursing home residents access to proper pain medications."
But the letter added that AMDA members remained concerned about the bill's requirements for multiple records "when one standard form would suffice." He also expressed concern over the requirement of a logbook.
The American Geriatrics Society also wrote a letter of support for the bill on Nov. 12.

A Balanced Budget Constitutional Amendment: Background and Congressional Options
Description: One of the most persistent political issues facing Congress in recent years is whether to require that the budget of the United States be in balance. Although a balanced federal budget has long been held as a political ideal, the accumulation of large deficits in recent years has heightened concern that some action to require a balance between revenues and expenditures may be necessary. The debate over a balanced budget measure actually consists of several interrelated debates, which this report addresses.

Acquiring a mortgage from the bad credit history mortgage company is the significant action towards raising your credit report. But you need to be extremely cautious when you are obtaining the bad credit report mortgages. There are increased chances of acquiring cheated when you are securing such financings.

Avoid the Pushy Loan Providers
Many times it happens that when you are approaching any loan supplier, they will convince you for obtaining the mortgage as soon as possible. It is quite dubious if the loan provider is eager to provide you the home loan. Such home loan companies apply pretty convincing tricks to encourage the borrower to get the loan. The most usual trick is the low interest rates charged on the mortgage loans with bad credit report. Hence, you have to stay away from such lenders.
Often times these lending institutions will certainly encourage the borrowers on the complicated as well as tricky lending advantages but will fail to clarify them how the loan works. It is better to take aback if you experience such situation.
With the little research study, you could stay clear of the fraudulent home loan lenders. There are still many lending providers those help the interest of the borrowers. To avoid obtaining ripped off by the mortgage companies, it is important for you to get informed regarding the mortgage terms. Make the research study for the loan providers as well as the offers provided by them. You may even obtain the deal of obtaining the bad credit rating mortgage at lesser interest rates.

By "problem-proofing" your loved one's closet in the earliest stage of dementia, you can make dressing easier, prolong independence, and help avoid later embarrassing goofs.
Five easy ideas:
1. Conform the sock drawer.
Switch to socks that are all identical -- same style and color. No more searching for matches, or not realizing that brown and black aren't the same.
2. Go solid.
Pare down tops and sweaters so they all color-coordinate easily. Better still, eliminate prints so outfits never clash.
3. Adopt a uniform.
Some people with mild dementia choose to adopt a uniform look they're known for -- say, a white t-shirt and black cardigan with slacks, or a turtleneck a la Steve Jobs. A signature look becomes a stylish brain aid.
4. Enlarge the fasteners.
Go on a hunt for wee buttons and tiny zipper pulls. They can befuddle any pair of aging hands, but combined with the physical limitations dementia can bring, they can be utterly impossible. Best to weed them from the closet now.
5. Simplify the shoes.
Fussy buckles and challenging laces will become increasingly frustrating. Slip-on loafers, Velcro-style closures, or very simple styles are better.

It doesn't take a genius to install a toilet in the bathroom. As long as the plumbing is there, all the installer has to do is ensure the size of the bathroom and the toilet will fit according to the measurements previously taken. Aside from that, it is just a matter of following instructions. In fact, the process is so straightforward, homeowners will often take it upon themselves to do the work rather than pay someone else to do it.Yet, not every toilet and urinal is equal. Some go through a great deal of thought and planning before installing their toilet, while others put little to no effort. After all, a toilet seat has two main functions. It doesn't need to be fancy, pretty, or cozy. It just needs to flush after you are done your business. At least that's the only explanation we could come up with after seeing some of the following photos.

CNET News Video
Cell phone photos to help when you forgetYour smartphone's camera should do more than just snap shots of family and friends. Put it to work as a powerful tool to help you remember all sorts of useful information. CNET's Kara Tsuboi explains in this Tech Minute.
Treat your phone's camera like the photographic memory you wish you had. If you're prone to losing things, take a photo of your dry cleaning ticket or coat check ticket because those paper slips are always disappearing. Photograph your kid before a big outing, so you have a good image of what he's wearing that day. And if your friends forget to give you back your stuff, grab a pic of them holding that item. To jog your memory, take a picture of the inside of your fridge before you go grocery shopping. Or a picture of landmarks around where you parked your car, even your hotel if you're in a new city. And when you're packing up to move, photograph the contents of each box. Before you leave on that big trip, snap photos of key documents like your passport, credit cards and your kids' birth certificates. Also, prescription pill bottles including the bar codes for easy refills. Just make sure you have a passcode to protect your phone. Also, look up directions and take screen shots of key routes, that way you have map directions stored in your camera roll even if you don't have access to WiFi. In San Francisco, I'm Kara Tsuboi, CNET.com for CBS news.

Google updates Maps app for iPhone
Google has announced its Maps app update for Apple iPhone, making it easier to find places and look up saved friends' addresses.
Google Maps app, which will now include new search icons, can now be downloaded from the Apple App Store.
Now, users will be presented with icons for restaurants, coffee shops, bars and gas stations, which they can tap to search quickly for nearby locations.
In total, there are 13 different types of places users can search by, including hotels, hospitals and ATMs, ABC News reports.
The new update also makes it possible for users to look up their friends' addresses by typing their names in the search box, the report said.
If users have saved their friends' addresses in Google Contacts, the app will show them in the search results, it added.
This is the first major update to the Google Maps app since it was released in December.

TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - Jan. 8, 2016) - The Ontario Federation of Labour (OFL) is bracing itself for a historic verdict at 9:30 a.m. on Monday, January 11, 2016, when the sentence will be announced for a Metron Construction Project Manager. Vadim Kazenelson is facing four counts of criminal negligence causing death and one count of criminal negligence causing bodily harm after the tragic collapse of a swing stage at a Toronto high-rise on December 24, 2009. His conviction and sentencing is the first of its kind in Ontario.
The OFL launched its "Kill a Worker, Go to Jail" campaign immediately following the Metron tragedy in 2009 to demand jail time for bosses whose criminal negligence results in a worker's death. The campaign paid off in 2012 when Metron Construction received Ontario's first criminal conviction since the Criminal Code of Canada was amended in response to the 1992 Westray Mine Disaster. While the company was fined $750,000 plus a victim surcharge, the company's sole owner and director, Joel Swartz, escaped criminal conviction altogether. In June 2015, an Ontario Superior Court Judge found the Metron Project Manager, Vadim Kazenelson, guilty on five counts of criminal negligence but sentencing was remanded to January 11, 2016.
"This court has the opportunity to make history by throwing Mr. Kazenelson behind bars, but justice won't be fully served as long as only supervisors go to jail," said OFL President Chris Buckley. "The OFL won't stop campaigning until the employers who put workers' lives at risk to earn another buck find themselves doing hard time in jail."
The Ontario Federation of Labour (OFL) represents 54 unions and one million workers in Ontario. For information, visit www.OFL.ca and follow @OFLabour on Facebook and Twitter.

Squinty Knows What To Do
December 28, 2009 / Posted by: Michael K
Because everyone knows that the quickest way to becoming a fag's main hag is to charm his mother, the gay fly paper known as Squinty Zellweger hung all over Bradley Cooper's mother while shopping for furniture in Los Angeles the other day. B.Coop's mama je'e, who kind of looks like Janice the Muppet after eating Fozzy Bear, was in town for the Christmas holiday.
Squinty looks like she just swallowed an entire bong. Acting all giggly and shit. Bitch needs to keep it together. And B. Coop's mother looks like she's trying to figure out why her son's lovely new boyfriend uses the ladies restroom and keeps tampons under his bathroom sink.

We are delighted to be in Nonsuch Mansion's 'Little white book' as one of their preferred supliers.
Why are we so happy? Obviously it's always great to feel loved by such a gorgeous venue but actually because if we had our own little white book then Nonsuch would certainly be at the top of it.
The venue itself is not what you expect. It's stone wall exterior is a huge contrast to the warmth inside. Although it is luxuirius and interesting it is the perfect venue to put your own stamp on. No 2 weddings seem to look the same here, surely that's what you look for in a venue?
I love the little details in the decor and the luxurius finish that everything has. I have been lucky enough to work on a couple of shoots there recently, one of them was while they were decorating their Christmas tree…Wow. Would of loved to have seen that bad boy finished – What a beauty!
On a personal level I am chuffed to bits because I was brought up in a house a mere 10 minute walk from here, I learned to ride my bike in it's shadows, I climbed trees (That were forbidden! Shhh) in it's grounds and had childhood adventures with my brother in the park that it stands. As a child it was the grandest most magical place I knew and I always thought I would get married there, and that was before it was transformed into the beauty that it is today!
I didnt get married there as my lovely husband is Scottish so we chose Loch Lomond I (equally as magical but without the personal history) but I am so pleased to be working with brides that have chosen my special place as their own. It really is somewhere where happy memories are made.

Helping rural communities to thrive
All of our projects include participatory mapping and social impact assessments prior to land development. In our plantations, we obtain the Free Prior and Informed Consent of local populations, witnessed by a Social Contract which is the equivalent of 15-18% of the total development budget. We have such contracts with 46 villages – note all bar one were villages around the plantations, not on land within the concession areas.
These social contracts cover multiple activities. From 2012 to end of 2015 these have included:
Education: 16 houses for teachers and 14 schools built or rehabilitated to date, provision of classroom kits, and furnishing;
Health: 3 new pharmacies and dispensaries built, existing dispensaries supplied with medical kits and medicines;
Public infrastructure: 9 public meeting rooms built or rehabilitated, one market area plus a police post;
Public utilities: 59 boreholes drilled and equipped with manual pumps; over 1,000 solar street lights installed; 300km of public roads rehabilitated and graded;
Leisure: 21 football fields prepared and equipped, sports and other kit donated;
Support for local economic activity: 2 village cassava mills built and equipped, 28 farmer groups trained and equipped, local development committees set up to manage social development funds totaling US$450,000 as of December 2015.

Why am I researching the viva?
Well, there might be a clue in the name of this site… But more seriously, here's why I'm doing what I'm doing.
A few days ago I set a survey in motion asking seven quick questions of PhD graduates from UK universities. I talk to a lot of people about the viva – some of them are graduates, and I try when possible to interview them for this podcast – but most of them are candidates. They've worked hard for three or more years, become experts in their field, and then I meet them at workshops where some of them are terrified that their world is about to come crashing down. Having spoken to quite a few PhD graduates there are stories and experiences I can pass on, but sometimes the "official" stats seem unclear. I thought it might be interesting to capture a snapshot of what PhD graduates from the last fourteen years have been through – both to see what the stats are, and to see what kind of a picture it creates. And who knows, there might be some interesting things in the data!

Another day, another opportunity to allow connected mobility make life easier. We are all for that.
Enter the BlueDriver OBDII Scan Tool, a piece from Lemur that allows folks to really drill down into auto management.
It is irregularly shaped, with a cuboid base at the core, but retains a relatively small profile. On the one end, one finds the plug-in portion with the telltale pins; on the opposite side is an LED light. The review piece is black with white lettering, and looks and feels like a a well-fused item.
The title says is all: this puck looks to give its user the power of OBDII in a handy little tool; to be very accurate, it does so with the help of a companion app that resides on one's Android device. The app is a comprehensive sidekick; the UI is bathed in an almost purplish hue that backs the clear-cut icons that hint at the the true functionality of app-puck combo.
This two-part solution is fairly intuitive to use; the puck gets plugged into the ODB port in the car, paired to the device/app, and the accumulated data is accessed via the app. When the app is opened, it requests to turn on Bluetooth if that radio is off, and then looks to pair with the plugged in puck. When it gets going, there is quite a lot of stuff that can be accessed: accident reports, code reader, smog check and plenty more, including flashlight functionality. Additionally, one can get to the user manual from the app, order extra pieces, update sensor firmware and connect with the manufacturer via email, phone or social networks.
In any case, in action, this piece just works. It pulls in the information seamlessly and presents it equally so, with "pro tip" pop-ups that help with deciphering data. I tried several of the tools, and was pleased with each; I didn't have a control to confirm readings, or a chance to use the "clear codes" functionality at all, though.
As a permanent tool (it can be left installed), it is a nice accessory to have. It is transferable, easy to use and the mobile component is a big plus. At $99.95 on Amazon, it probably isn't for the overly casual, but even taht can be argued. If anything, nothing beats having a clue what is going on with one's car — before going to the mechanic.

External disk not recognized by Win7/8 and is now in RAW format!?
I recently backed up about 500gb of recent work onto an external drive so I could clean my PC inside and out. I gave it a clean install of windows 7 and when it comes time to get my work of my external, the drive cannot be recognized and requires a reformat.
It was working perfectly fine and I surely did not format the drive into a RAW file system. I tried plugging into my laptop running win8 and still the very same issue. I plugged it into a mac running the lastest mac os 10 and I can browse all my folders and see the files but I can't move/copy or open them. But at least I know all is not lost.
I have been looking through forums and trying everything I could find, which was pretty much what I already knew to try.
Im stuck. I have no idea what's going on with this. I have tons of art work I risk losing if I can't get to these files. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi Mconn127,
I am not an expert in this field, just my experience offered. :)
Firstly, DO NOT FORMAT THE DRIVE!! (As your probably well aware) If windows ask you to do this when its plugged in then ignore.
The RAW filesystem is just a filesystem that is not recognized by Windows, so it cant access the disk and
as you found out your files are still intact..PHEW!!
I had the same problem a few years back when i just unplugged the USB HDD without "Safely removing Hardware device" first, and ended up with a RAW file system!!
Firstly try plugging the external HDD into a computer running Windows XP or Vista? Give that a try first if possible
and see if you can gain access to your data? With Windows XP theres a good chance you will gain access and can back-up your data and simply reformat the drive.(fingers crossed)
Failing that to try the next part you will need to discover exaclty type of external HDD it is? Make / model / aslo is it IDE, SATA and depending on which one it is, see if you are going to be able to connect it internally to your computer?
There is another way which doesnt involve opening the enclosure, but you risk losing your data and you do so at your own risk:
» How To Fix: External Disk Drive Suddenly Became RAW
YOU DO THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK, IF UNSURE DO NOT ATTEMPT. (This following method also may not work)
The easiest fix for to access your drive, is to remove the drive from the enclosure and install it directly into your computer as almost any external drive can be used as an internal drive. (Ive done it plenty of times)
You will have to find a way to crack open the enclosure and remove the HDD. Hopefully just few screws and
easing the HDD out of the enclosure (Extreme caution advised). If you post the Make and model I will see if I can find a guide to do this.
Then once hooked into your computer, boot it up, (you may have to goto boot options and select the HDD that has windows installed), then from your desktop click:
Start > Computer and see if your drive has been recognised and that you have access, do not write to the disc at all, back up your data to another spare drive immediately.
If your drive is not listed in "Computer" please follow these instructions:
Start > type in search manage at top click Computer Management.
Then double left click on Storage in the centre box.
Then double click on Disk management.
You should hopefully see your newly installed "ex" external drive (if that makes sense)
If you can see your new drive it probably hasn't got a drive letter assigned to it?
If this is the case then right click Change drive letter and paths then click change and assign it a drive letter, click ok and exit.
Goto Computer and you should now see your drive and should be able to access your data? Again back-up immediately.
This method has worked for me.
Hope one of these methods helps you out, Good Luck

Thanks for the response!
The drive is a LaCie 500gb. Some specs can be found here: LaCie - Big Disk Extreme with Triple Interface - USB 2.0, FireWire 400, FireWire 800
It is IDE, and it's a 500 gig external but when I took it about it is actually two western digital IDE drives 250gb each.
I did try to plug them in internally but it was before this issue, and when my computer was having issues so I figured it was my computer. But I also thought that because how these disks are set up they must be plugged in together? I'm going to try this again with both plugged in.
I'm also very interested in trying a boot from linux to read the raw file system, thanks for the post and links! I will let you know if any of this works!
Also, if you check the link on the drive and find anything, then please let me know.
Thanks so much.

Hi mconn127,
Restore the external drive back to its original condition and plug it into your PC.
Confirm in Disk Management that the drive appears as RAW 500GB. ( I wish you hadn't taken it out.)
Download and install MiniTools Partition Wizard Home Edition 7.7 Best Free Partition Manager Freeware and free partition magic for Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows Vista and Windows XP 32 bit & 64 bit. MiniTool Free Partition Manager Software Home Edition.
Then just follow the recovery process under the heading "Recovery with Partition Wizard: SanDisk Cruzer Blade 16GB" in the thread Recover a flash drive turned RAW Partition Wizard and TestDisk. ( In your case instead of the pendrive, it will be your external drive.)
Good luck.

Win7 Pro 32-bit, Win8 Pro 32-bit
Few points from my own experience with this problem ...
Just because you can see the files and folders on a Mac actually means nothing. Sorry. Had the same happen to an external drive, loaned it to a friend who has a Mac, he was able see all of the stuff, too, but when he copied the files off, they were all zero-length!
Second, Linux is not going to be of any help. If the drives were formatted NTFS, Linux will detect a corrupted filesystem and refuse to allow you to mount the filesystems. If your try to FORCE a mount, you risk completely trashing the files.
My suggestion is that you remove the drives from the case, hook them up to a PC, and download the trial version of RecoverMyFiles from Runtime software. Run that in deepest discovery mode against the drive. Then, probably HOURS later, see if it found the files you wanted. You will have to register and purchase online to actually recover the files, but at least you will then have them.
|My System Specs
|30 Jan 2013
Hi mconn127,
I was expecting a feedback from you.
You have two physical drives which are possibly spanned to appear like one logical drive. Part of the files may reside on one physical drive and the rest on the other drive. For a successful recovery, you must restore the drives back to their original locations. Reason why I emphasised to restore the external drive to its original condition. I hope you have marked the positions of the drives when you pulled out those from the case.
I generally abhor any tendency to pull out the drive/s from its case.That should only be the last resort when all other non-invasive procedures fail and we begin suspecting a defective case. Unnecessary manipulation of the drive/s should be avoided. It should never be the first resort. Reason why I wished that you hadn't removed the drives from the casing.
