Top 10 Cheapest & Amazing Little Log Cabins you Can Build Yourself
Yes, you can build your log cabin, even if do not have any experience. It is a big and daunting undertaking and there are many things that you will need to know before and during the process. The Log Home Builders Association is a non-profit educational association that you may want to research before you start your project.
This company offers two-day courses on the Butt and Pass method of building that is well suited to want to be builders with little to no experience.
Here are some of the pro's and con's of using the Butt and Pass method they are endorsing.
Natural logs are used that have not been milled or manufactured which makes them less expensive.
You build the home right on your property. There is zero notch work and that what you are paying for when you purchase a ready-made log home.
This method does not settle, so you avoid the need to make allowances for keyways, screw jacks, and slip joints which are all more complicated to install, easy to make a mistake on and hard to fix.
This method of building is stronger and easily will outlast other types of log cabins as they are more naturally resistant to water damage.
There have been members that have built to code cabins for $7,500.
The average person after taking the class will learn everything required to build a Butt and Pass log home, without buying a kit or hiring a builder.
So perhaps you may want to consider paying a fee which is a fraction of purchasing a log cabin kit, take the 2-day log home course which is offered in Las Vegas, USA and learn all you need to know.
Please visit the 'Log Home Builders Association' website below for full details and photos of even more than ten little log cabins you also can build yourself.

Study: Patients with marketplace health plans spend less on medications
Consumers who signed up for marketplace insurance plans on the health exchanges established by the Affordable Care Act in the first six months of their existence used more prescription drugs than those who signed up later, and both groups of marketplace enrollees spent less on prescription medications than privately insured patients, according to a study published in Health Affairs.
The study compared consumers who enrolled in marketplace health plans between October 2013 and February 2014 and those who signed up between March and May of 2014.
Early enrollees were the smaller of the group, accounting for 32.5% of marketplace participants during the study period. They also had higher education levels and had higher median incomes and were more likely to have had health insurance before enrolling in a marketplace insurance plan than those who enrolled between March and May of last year.
The team of 11 researchers came from organizations including the University of Pittsburgh, Rand Corp., outcomes research firm Eliassen Group, and Express Scripts, the pharmacy benefits manager that provided the prescription data used as the basis of the study.
The team tracked the prescription data to get a sense of the health of the patients who purchased health insurance through the marketplace to assess whether the Congressional Budget Office and Congress's Joint Committee on Taxation cost estimates were accurate. The government groups had predicted that sicker, costlier patients would enroll first and healthier patients would eventually join up.
This latter category is important because healthier patients pay into the system, contributing money through premiums, but spend less than sicker patients, who require more medical care and draw money away from the pool of funds contributed by both high and low medical care users.
Attention to cost and adherence is a topline concern for marketers and payers. Sticking with a medication regimen can prevent the onset of costlier higher-maintenance conditions but it also means a steady stream of money goes toward covering prescriptions. But if out-of-pocket costs are too expensive, patients may not take their medications, which can lead to costlier health issues later on. Strategies like higher co-pays for branded drugs compared to generics and cost-sharing initiatives like deductibles are considered ways to drive patients to lower-priced prescription drug options.
Researchers said the early results indicate that riskier patients do not dominate the marketplace, which could mean that the government's cost estimates are correct, but they cautioned that the data does not include patients who have yet to sign up for coverage, so the dynamic can still change.
Researchers also found that marketplace consumers used prescriptions at different rates, with early enrollers—the ones who signed on between October 2013 and February 2014—filling more prescriptions than their later-enrolling peers. They said the different prescription patterns may be attributed to an additional data point: Early enrollees were more likely to have insurance before enrolling in a marketplace plan, which may mean they received care before buying a health plan on the exchanges.
Marketplace enrollees were four times more likely to use HIV medications than employer-insured patients, but marketplace and employer-covered enrollees generally reported the same spending on specialty medications every month. Marketplace enrollees spent less on traditional medications—about $42 a month—than their employer-covered peers, who spent around $67 a month, but there was little difference in what the two groups spent on specialty medications, which treat conditions like HIV and hepatitis. Marketplace enrollees spent around $26 on specialty medications while employer-covered enrollees spent $29.
Researchers said that follow-up studies will provide a better understanding of healthcare reform's impact on prescription utilization.
Early-late enrollee profiling is just one of several studies examining the ACA's impact. Diabetes Care published a study in March that found the number of diagnosed diabetes cases rose 23% in states that expanded their Medicaid programs under the healthcare reform law. The data did not indicate if there were long-term cost savings associated with the uptick in diagnoses, nor did it address adherence, which would also have an impact on cost estimates. The results do indicate an increase demand for diabetes medications.

What Video Game Is Frank Underwood Playing on House of Cards?
Watch him play Monument Valley.
Some things just never change. Even as president of the U.S., Frank Underwood still finds time to be a total gamer. Imagine if he had his own YouTube channel! In season three's fifth episode, "Chapter 31," he's graduated from playing Call of Duty to Monument Valley (for reasons we discover later).
Monument Valley is an indie game about a princess and optical illusions — which is totally what comes to mind when we think of Frank Underwood.

AbstractThis national assessment of 55 volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in ground water gives emphasis to the occurrence of VOCs in aquifers that are used as an important supply of drinking water. In contrast to the monitoring of VOC contamination of ground water at point-source release sites, such as landfills and leaking underground storage tanks (LUSTs), our investigations of aquifers are designed as large-scale resource assessments that provide a general characterization of water-quality conditions. Nearly all of the aquifers included in this assessment have been identified as regionally extensive aquifers or aquifer systems. The assessment of ground water (Chapter 3) included analyses of about 3,500 water samples collected during 1985-2001 from various types of wells, representing almost 100 different aquifer studies. This is the first national assessment of the occurrence of a large number of VOCs with different uses, and the assessment addresses key questions about VOCs in aquifers. The assessment also provides a foundation for subsequent decadal assessments of the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) National Water-Quality Assessment (NAWQA) Program to ascertain long-term trends of VOC occurrence in these aquifers.

Hey, i was about to purchase the metal option, but the price with shipping would have been nearly $500 more...If you are willing to work on the cost there, I might upgrade. I also was considering getting embellishments, but guessing you don't do that on posters. Contact me if you are willing to work on the pricing. Otherwise I am stoked...this is my birthday present to myself.

Barbara Jordan Quotes About ImmigrationQuotes about: Immigration
The Commission endorses prevention as the principal strategy to use in deterring illegal entries. We applaud the efforts of innovative Border Patrol leaders such as Silvestre Reyes with Operation Hold the Line in El Paso. Operation Hold the Line demonstrated that a strategic use of personnel and technology can combine at our land border, as it has for many years at our airports, to reduce unauthorized crossings.
I spent my entire career trying to protect the Constitution, the civil rights and the civil liberties of American citizens and people who are here lawfully. I, as chair of this commission, would not be a party to any system that I felt was an unpardonable intrusion into the private lives of people. If I felt that what we are recommending would be such an intrusion I can assure you that recommendation would never have seen the light of day, not even as a pilot program.
...we must face the fact that unilateral action on the part of the United States will never be enough to stop illegal immigration. Immigrants come here illegally from source countries where conditions prevail that encourage or even compel them to leave. Attacking the causes of illegal migration is essential and will require international cooperation.
The Commission agrees that the federal government should help alleviate these costs. The best way to do so is to reduce illegal immigration.... We recommend immediate reimbursement of criminal justice costs, because these conditions can now be met, but we urge further study of the costs of health care and education before impact aid is provided.
I do not bring any professional knowledge of the issue to bear, but what I do bring to my consideration of immigration is a deepened and highly sensitized feeling with those persons who feel alien in our country. I can feel the strangeness they feel because it is something I have experienced in a different area.

OK~ We have went most of the Winter without snow, and then we get to March 4th, and we have this!
I have to admit, it was kind of pretty. And I also love the fact that it's supposed to hit 60 degrees tomorrow. So....the Mud fest will begin! The Winter of 2011-2012 will go down as one of the muddiest in history. After the last couple extremely snowy Winters, I'll take the mud. My crazy mop has worked more in February than last Summer. So- bring on the mud, bring on the sunshine, bring on the 60 degree temps~ Let's welcome a warm, sunny Spring. I know that several Iowa High School Trapshooters would love a warmer Spring, a calmer Spring (lots of high wind days last year)- seems like a reasonable request, don't ya think? After All, It's All In a Mom's Day, Right?
A day in the life of a Mid-West Mom of soon to be young men! Trust me- I've always got "stuff" going on- After all, it's all in a Mom's day, right?

text: Catalan artist Joan Miro's work encompasses a range of mediums and styles, all linked by a bold outlook and experimental approach. Born 1893 in Barcelona he was attracted to art from an early age, attending La Llotja art school in 1907. The artist's alignment with the emerging surrealist and cubist movements meant that his work received a frosty reception, encouraging him to move Montparnasse in 1920. Enjoying the districts vibrant and open art scene, he soon joined the Surrealist group. The resultant paintings were dubbed 'dream' works and provide a template for much of Miro's later work - abstract in nature without ever totally abandon subject matter. The tragedies began to engulf Europe gave his work a previously absent political tone in line with his leftist outlook. After the war Miro would work on several high profile commissions including a tapestry for New York's world trade centre and the enormous 'Dona i Ocell' sculpture on Barcelona. Miro died of a heart attack in 1983.

State of Play
The War of the Five Kings was believed over, but House Stark has proven unexpectedly resurgent. In an impressive display of both military and political acumen, the Starks have led a massive uprising against House Bolton, won the alliance of House Arryn of the Vale (as yet unengaged in the war, with completely fresh forces) and toppled the Boltons, retaking Winterfell in battle and executing Ramsay Bolton (who had already betrayed and murdered his father Roose).
Jon Snow, the bastard son of Eddard Stark who had been sent to the Wall and briefly ruled as Lord Commander of the Night's Watch before being stabbed (and, some say, killed and resurrected), was declared by the Lords of the North as King Jon Stark, the King in the North, succeeding his half-brother Robb, slain over two years earlier at the Red Wedding. Jon has allied with his half-sister Sansa, who commands the loyalty of the Knights of the Vale through her own alliance with Lord Petyr "Littlefinger" Baelish, the Protector of the Vale. This alliance appears strong, but trouble may lie ahead, especially given Jon Stark's willingness to ally with the wildlings from beyond the Wall, the sworn foes of the North.
Meanwhile, in the west Euron Greyjoy has murdered his brother Balon and usurped the Seastone Chair, seizing command of the Iron Islands. His original plan, to force an alliance with Daenerys Targaryen, has been upset by his niece and nephew, Yara and Theon, seizing more than half of the Iron Fleet and sailing to Slaver's Bay to ally with Daenerys themselves. Euron's next move, whether to re-invade the North or seek alliances elsewhere, remains uncertain.
In King's Landing, Cersei Lannister has brutally moved against her enemies, wiping out the High Septon, the Most Devout and almost the entire the leadership of House Tyrell in one fell swoop. She now sits the Iron Throne as Queen Cersei I Lannister in her own right. Her rule of King's Landing is absolute and House Lannister remains a powerful force under her leadership, with its armies now under the direct command of the Queen's brother, Ser Jaime Lannister. The Crownlands also remain loyal to the capital. On paper, Cersei also commands the allegiance of the Riverlands through House Frey and, after the death of King Stannis, the Stormlands, the former vassals of her deceased husband, King Robert. In practice, the reliability of these forces, both fighting the Lannisters until just a few months ago, remains a chancy thing.
However, a new force has now entered the war decisively. Daenerys Targaryen, the Stormborn, the daughter of the Mad King, has arrived off the shores of Westeros with a vast fleet. She has forged an alliance with Houses Tyrell and Martell, who between them command the largest extant land armies in Westeros, and also with the bulk of the forces of House Greyjoy under the command of Yara and Theon Greyjoy. She also commands her own army of Unsullied warrior-eunuchs, the finest spearmen in the world, as well as several tens of thousands of Dothraki horse-warriors. Most formidably, she has the counsel and advice of both Tyrion Lannister and Lord Varys, two of the most cunning strategists in the Seven Kingdoms, and the service of her three dragons.
On paper, Daenerys Targaryen's victory over the Lannisters and her reconquest of King's Landing is inevitable, with the question then arising as to how she and Jon Stark will resolve any potential differences. But it would be foolish to so easily count out Cersei Lannister, who has overcome every obstacle thrown at her so far.
There are also wild cards in these wars to come. From the Wall flies news of vast armies of the dead gathering in the former wildling territories. The seer-prophet Bran Stark flees south ahead of this tide with news of his own. Rumour speaks of turmoil and bloody murder in the Twins, the stronghold of House Frey. There may also yet be fresh betrayals: not all of the Tyrell and Martell bannermen may welcome a return of Targaryen rule.
Season 7 of Game of Thrones starts airing on HBO in the United States on Sunday 16 July. Sky Atlantic will follow up in the UK a day later.

His name is Keith, and yesterday was his first day to come to 707 West Jones. He was new in town, and was staying at the shelter, and someone had brought him to us.
Now, yesterday was far from a typical day for us. Most of our staff was snowed in at home, the downtown soup kitchen was closed, and the whole city was shutdown because of the snowstorm.
But it was Keith's first day, and on the best days, it can be hard to understand what we are doing there.
We don't have a security guard. We don't have a metal detector. We don't have security cameras, or an ID requirement, or even a scheduled mealtime.
We do have a warm building, plenty of chairs, and a pot of hot coffee of variable quality. There is a bathroom you can use, and a washer and dryer you can share with other folks. And you can have a conversation and be treated like you are human and feel like you are, as we like to say in my tradition, made in the very image of God.
If you spent the night before in a typical homeless shelter, that can be confusing indeed.
So Keith had lots of questions.
But one of them was, "Why is it called Love Wins?"
So I told him we had this crazy idea that if you treat people like people, then they act like people. And that we had learned that what people who are experiencing homelessness really need is a place to belong, not a place to tell them what to do. So we have worked to create that place.
A bunch of the guests were listening. Charlie was nodding, and he chimed in.
"They really care about us here. Like today – the other places we could go are all closed. But Hugh here walked across town to make sure we had a place to be today. He didn't get paid extra for that – he did it because he cares about us."
Mike always has something to say, so he said it.
"Here, I can be me. I get to help out. I get to contribute. They don't care that I was once in jail, here I get to answer the phones and help people."
I agreed. And then I told Keith that here, we think everybody deserves grace, so it doesn't matter what you have done before, and it doesn't matter where you came from and we don't care what your past looks like. All that matters is that you want to be here. And if you do, we want you here.
Roger said, "This place is safe. And as long as you keep it safe, you can stay here. The only people who are made to leave are the ones who make it not safe for other people. But even they get a second chance tomorrow."
Then I said, "Keith, the short answer to your question about why we call it Love Wins is, because, we believe it does. We believe that Love is what makes the world work, and when we show Love to each other, it makes the world better. And if we want the world to be better, we have to work at loving each other. And we can't love each other if we don't get to know each other."
Keith stared at me for a second, then he smiled.
"By getting to know each other, we are making the world better. I like that. I like that a lot."
Then he said, "What can I do to help?"
We get called naive a lot. We have been told that this work is impossible to do without an armed guard at our building. We have been told that if we let people make decisions for themselves we would end up with total anarchy. We have been dismissed as saints, and we have been dismissed as idealists.
But what we really are is just a bunch of people, some of us housed and some of us not, who really, really believe in Love as a force for good. For whom Love is not a quaint concept to be trotted out with heart candies and images of Cupid, but as the motive force of the universe.
So, today on Valentine's Day, when the world celebrates Love, know that you don't have to quit celebrating it tonight at midnight. You can embrace it. You can use it to make the world better.
My new friend Keith is excited about that. I hope you are too.
Editor's Note: You can meet Keith in video below. We put together an on-the-spot video to thank you for making it possible for us to be open during the snow storm yesterday, and every day. Details on that are linked in Hugh's post, or you can read the story here.by

Stroud Water Research Center staff have deployed dozens of sensor stations based on our EnviroDIY Mayfly Data Logger.
Working on a remote river monitoring project with partners Cemar.org and a local chapter of The Nature Conservancy.
We are excited to announce that our Mayfly Data Logger boards are now available for purchase on Amazon!
I have continued working on this project and found a probe cover and cable housing. By not using the back of the cable housing I've been able to modify a RM Young 41390 Sensor Junction Box and make a usable Pressure, Temp, Humidity device to fit inside the multi-plate radiation shields. I've made some changes to the board connections so that it will solder to the probe housing ...[Read More]
It has a combination of features and capabilities that make it one of the most powerful and flexible logger platforms available.

Giving In Good Hands Ortho was founded by Dr. Grant W. Robicheaux on the premise of giving back not only in the form of doing, but more importantly teaching. This is done on two fronts. Firstly by research on new, cutting edge treatments to improve the field of Orthopaedic care as well as research on current treatments in the field so as to constantly improve. The second front is that of educating health care providers in under-served and impoverished regions. Dr. Robicheaux enjoys the time he spends in these regions with these patients, but understands the importance of teaching those who will remain in these areas long after he is gone. "Give a man a fish and he is not hungry…Teach a man to fish and he can sustain his village." It is this motto by which Giving In Good Hands Ortho can touch so many with your help!
I, Grant W. Robicheaux, MD founded Giving In Good Hands Ortho in 2013 when I saw the opportunity to bring change to the practice of Orthopaedics as well as its delivery through out the world. Since a young age I have enjoyed volunteerism in my local community as well as abroad. Now, the unique specialized knowledge I have acquired in my field allows me, with your help, to take this to another level. From cutting edge research on new treatments and evaluation of outcomes for improvement on current treatments to the education of underserved.

The airport says the birds were shot to keep aircraft safe on landing when dozens of cormorants, ducks, seagulls, and pelicans were found last week. Fish and Game first thought they had a poaching case and it took a full day to find out it was the airport that killed them.
A juvenile and adult Western gull are in guarded condition at the International Bird Rescue and Research Center in Cordeila. They were among 60 birds that washed up on the shores of San Leandro's Oyster Bay on December 23.
The Oakland Airport says that morning a U.S. Department of Agriculture wildlife specialist shot the birds near runway 29 because they were a threat to approaching aircraft.
"The determination is made by the wildlife specialist and biologists that are out there, and they work there daily, to ensure the safety of our aircraft on takeoff and landing," says Roberto Bernardo, a spokesperson for Oakland Airport.
The U.S.D.A. says the specialist who did the shooting has eight years experience, and he had never seen so many birds, an estimated 2,000 cormorants in that location, and the efforts to shoo them away failed. Fish and Game says the airport has a permit to shoot the otherwise protected birds.
"They can kill them if they are a threat to the airlines," says Fish and Game Lt. Sheree Christensen.
In January, Danville pilot Sully Sullenberger successfully landed his U.S. Airways jet in the Hudson River when both engines quit after hitting a flock of geese.
At SFO birds are shooed away with pyrotechnic and noise makers. Oakland says similar non-lethal noisemakers are successful 90-percent of the time.
Dale Sundquist lives on his boat at the San Leandro marina. He saw about six dead seagulls on December 23.
"I was a little bit concerned more than anything else. Once I heard the explanation I went 'OK, that makes sense. I don't know if they followed the rules or not,' but it made sense," says Sundquist.
Fish and Game says it is satisfied that so far it appears that the airport did follow the rules. The federal government might also be taking a look at this case.
The bird rescue center says that they understand the need for the airport to keep aircraft and the people on them safe, but thinks that the airport should be responsible for the cleanup.

Old Navy Cable Knit Sweater, Tassel Necklace-eBay (similar BaubleBar Iced Lariat Pendant), Leggings-Target (similar Forever 21 Leggings for $3.90), Boots-Nordstrom (similar Steve Madden Intyce Boots)
Now is the best time to get winter clothes on major sale! I hit up Old Navy, which always has a great clearance rack. But when I was there, almost the entire store was on sale. I snagged this cable knit sweater for just $12, originally $49.99! (you can purchase it online for $15). I like the tunic length since it can be paired with comfy leggings...pretty much my winter uniform.
