Some keep the Sabbath going to Church --
I keep it, staying at Home --
With a Bobolink for a Chorister --
And an Orchard, for a Dome --
Some keep the Sabbath in Surplice --
I just wear my Wings --
And instead of tolling the Bell, for Church,
Our little Sexton -- sings.
God preaches, a noted Clergyman --
And the sermon is never long,
So instead of getting to Heaven, at last --
I'm going, all along.

Without problems, what would solutions do all day? Sit by the pool? Go clubbing? So let's pitch in, see if we can provide some problems with solutions:
1. Those NCAA and NFL initiatives to reduce the high incidence of concussions and all life-diminishing head trauma among football players, should be extended to include the wives, child mothers, girlfriends and one-nighters who have their heads bashed in by the football players in their company.
It's epidemic. A football player of some note — often an extra-large current or former college man — is arrested for brutalizing a woman, unless a football fanatic police officer would otherwise blame the steps she was thrown down.
How better to ensure the aftercare of these victims than to enter them into the head trauma research programs and provide them a cut of legal payouts?
On Tuesday, 6-foot-4, 340-pound Georgia lineman Jonathan Taylor was charged with choking and punching his girlfriend. The police further reported the assault occurred on campus and in a dorm, both now common sites for violence by student-athletes against young women.
In March, Taylor and three Georgia teammates were arrested for on-campus theft.
But such stories have become a dime-a-recruiting-class, haven't they?
Speaking of cheap, would ESPN exploit such horror stories for irrelevant self-promotion? Shoot, ESPN would barge in on Sunday brunch at the Barge Inn.
At the close of ESPN's report on Taylor's arrest — he was subsequently tossed off the team — we learned that "he was the No. 53 prospect in the ESPN 150."
2. How do you solve a problem like Maria? That's the von Trapp family's problem. Let's work on Mike Francesa.
On Tuesday, Francesa threatened to surpass his previous standards for pompous, imperious conduct when he suddenly dumped a caller, "John," to conduct his regular session with "Cash," known to the serfs in the Kingdom of Francesspool as Yankees general manager Brian Cashman.
Cashman's first words were classy, likely intended to do what Francesa should have done: Cashman apologized to John for his sudden dismissal.
To that, Francesa, as he only he would and could, said, "That's okay, don't worry about him."
Such an arrogant, cold-hearted slap at his listeners — Francesa (dis)regards them all as John — didn't quite fit his soulful, on-air self-evaluation, last September:
"I've always done a classy show. There's a way people should be treated, and that's incredibly important to me."
Yes, there is an important way people should be treated — it's the way he (mis)treats them, as a matter of self-importance.
So, after all these years of listening to Francesa abuse callers — he's especially good at quickly dumping those who sound as if they know he's dead wrong — what are callers to do?
Hmm. Lemme think … Wait a second. Why not just stop calling!?
Not a boycott, but as a matter of self-determination and self-respect. Why wait on hold, thank him "for taking my call," speak some secondary homage — "love the show" — only to be treated like what flies out of the back of garbage trucks?
He can't abuse callers if there are none. Of course, if there were no more callers, "Let's Be Honest" could explain, "I don't take calls, anymore" — failing to add, "because I don't get any."
3. How do we determine the truth from everything less, including a lie?
Last week, it seemed as if the instant the Yankees announced a Sept. 7 tribute game to Derek Jeter, tickets to that game had just as instantly sold out and just as instantly were in the hands of the Yankees' official ticket-scalper, Ticketmaster.
Responding to logical, empirical suspicions as Ticketmaster instantly multiplied the face value of its tickets to the game, the Yankees announced that those tickets wound up on the "secondary" market — in Ticketmaster's hands — all by themselves. Thus, the public should at least think that there's nothing in this for the Yankees.
Well, if that's the case, did Ticketmaster have an inside track? Did the Yankees issue an early alert to their business partner and ticket broker? How did all those tickets become Ticketmaster's in the time it takes to hit "send"?
Beyond that, if the Yankees had nothing to do with it — if the tickets were out of their hands, if they had no horse in this race, if there's no cut in it for them — why did the Yankees' website instantly become headquarters for the purchase of Ticketmaster's jacked-up game tickets?
So many instant coincidences!
It's worth remembering the Yankees think the public is so stupid that they explained the regular emptiness of all those expensive good seats as having been purchased by those who then choose to travel to Yankee Stadium in order to watch the games on TVs inside the luxury restaurant.
Rather than continue to fuel such reasonable doubts, the Yankees, if they in fact have nothing to hide, should reveal their full, contracted relationship with Ticketmaster, starting with whether they get a cut — and how much — of Ticketmaster's sales to the Jeter Game.
Mayor Bill de Blasio, man of the little, economically disenfranchised folks, could and should insist upon such documented truth.
4. Some problems we could solve through the routine adoption of a Three Stooges routine, the "When I nod my head, you hit it" bit.
Yankees radio, for example, is a reliable stop to have your head hammered. Tuesday, with two out and no score in the bottom of the sixth at Yankee Stadium, John Sterling complimented the pitching of Yankees starter Chase Whitley.
To that, Suzyn Waldman said, "To tell you the truth, he's had an easy time of it."
Huh? Wasn't that the point? He might have pitched better had he not pitched as well? The Rangers made it easy on him or took it easy on him? If only they had hit him harder, we could better gauge how well he was pitching!
That leads to another problem. Many of us do most of our Yankees radio listening while in the car. While driving. That's up there with driving while texting, driving while blindfolded and driving while cutting a steak. Additionally, passengers are at risk of being driven crazy.
So, porcupine, just hit the "off" button or change the station. Hey, Moe, problem solved!
I'm always happy to help. In this world there are givers and takers. Usually, I'm a taker, a proud taker, too. Without takers, to whom would givers give? Few are more unselfish — more giving — than we takers.

About Me Avid Cyclist
I have used the 700x28s on my fully loaded touring bike and have had no problems. I also have the 26" version for my commuter. I wouldn't use anything else. They wear well and are extreamly resistant to punctures. Every so often I will check them over and find pieces of glass stuck in them. Glass that would have flattened most other tires.
Nothing is completely puncture proof...but these are darn close.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Wolves use power play to even series with Battalion at one game eachNHL.com @NHL
BRAMPTON, Ont. - Penalty troubles early in the game were too much for the Brampton Battalion to overcome on Sunday as they dropped Game 2 of their first-round matchup against the Sudbury Wolves 5-4 in Ontario Hockey League playoff action.
The Battalion were handed the first five minor penalties of the game and Charlie Dodero, Michael Kantor and Nicholas Baptiste each scored on the power play less than six minutes into the first period to put the Wolves ahead 3-0.
Dominik Kubalik and Jacob Harris scored even-strength goals for Sudbury, who evened their first-round matchup at one game each, while Dominik Kahun and Mathew Campagna chipped in with two assists apiece.
"Huge win for us today," said Dodero. "For some of the younger guys on our team, to get that first playoff victory is a big deal."
Patrik Machac, Blake Clarke and Brenden Miller each had a goal and an assist for the Battalion and Barclay Goodrow scored once.
Franky Palazzese made 30 saves for the win as Matej Machovki gave up five goals on 17 shots in a losing cause.
With Brampton forward Brandon Robinson serving a double minor for high sticking, Dodero scored from the point with just seconds remaining on Robinson???s first penalty and Kantor made it 2-0 just five seconds later when he found himself on a breakaway right off the face off.
After Baptiste put Sudbury in front 3-0, Brampton head coach Stan Butler was ejected for abuse of official.
With assistants Ryan Oulahen and Jason Ward running the bench, Brampton brought themselves to within one by the first intermission thanks to goals from Goodrow and Machac.
Harris restored the two-goal lead seven minutes into the second period, snapping a quick shot by Machovsky after taking a feed from Chad Thibodeau. However, the Battalion fought back to tie things up at four before the end of the second as Clarke and Miller put shots past Palazzese.
Kubalik scored the eventual winner as 8:12 of the third period.
Sudbury finished the game 3 for 6 on the power play while Brampton scored twice on six chances with the man advantage.
Game 3 is set for Tuesday when the Wolves host the Battalion at the Sudbury Arena.

OpenSCAD Design Tips
As you may know, I've mentioned wanting to print a Voltron several times before. I even tried to design one once. Even after uploading a shoddy version, I kept on jabbering on about it. Finally I've designed a printable Voltron of which I can be proud. It's designed totally in OpenSCAD using just about every single OpenSCAD trick I know. Additionally, I designed a hinge connector system that, I think, compliments Tony Buser's Pin Connectors v2 system nicely. In fact, some of the connector pieces for this model are basically a Buser pin connector on one side and a hinge/joint connector on the other. The result is a snap-fit highly articulated/poseable model. I wanted to share some of these design tricks with you over the next few posts. Here's a quick preview:

Many older adults of varying health difficulties, not just the critically ill, discover that they enjoy a hospital bed for use at home -- at least once they get past the idea of a "hospital" bed and actually try it out.
Adjustable beds can help your loved one sleep or rest more comfortably. The head and feet can be raised or lowered. Side rails may add peace of mind if you're concerned about falls. The overall height of the bed can be lowered to make it easier to get in and out of. The mattress may be thicker and more supportive than one your loved one has rested on for a decade or more too long. Finally, hospital beds tend to be on wheels and can be transferred from room to room as needed.
Medicare Part B helps pay for a hospital bed if it's considered "medically necessary" and prescribed by a doctor and supplied by a Medicare-approved medical-equipment supplier. Medicare will cover 80 percent of the total.
Your doctor might not prescribe a bed unless you ask first, so don't be shy about bringing it up. Then be sure to ask the place where you plan to rent the bed if it's a "Medicare participating supplier."
Some palliative care and most hospice programs also include hospital beds. Or you may be able to pay for a hospital bed, available through medical equipment companies, with private insurance.

Raman scattering and red fluorescence in the photochemical transformation of dry tryptophan particles
Tryptophan is a fluorescent amino acid common in proteins. Its absorption is largest for wavelengths λ ≲ 290 nm and its fluorescence emissions peak around 300–350 nm, depending upon the local environment. Here we report the observation of red fluorescence near 600 nm emerging from 488-nm continuous-wave (CW) laser photoexcitation of dry tryptophan (Trp) particles. With an excitation intensity below 0.5 kW/cm 2, dry Trp particles yield distinctive Raman scattering peaks in the presence of relatively weak and spectrally broad emissions with λ ~500–700 nm, allowing estimation of particle temperature at low excitation intensities. When the photoexcitation intensity is increased to 1 kW/cm 2 or more for a few minutes, fluorescence intensity dramatically increases by more than two orders of magnitude. The fluorescence continues to increase in intensity and gradually shift to the red when photoexcitation intensity and the duration of exposure are increased. The resulting products absorb at visible wavelengths and generate red fluorescence with λ ~ 650–800 nm with 633-nm CW laser excitation. In conclusion, we attribute the emergence of orange and red fluorescence in the Trp products to a photochemical transformation that is instigated by weak optical transitions to triplet states in Trp with 488-nm excitation andmore »

November 25, 2008RPO's orKIDStra Holiday Concert Features Animated Film with Live Musical Score
Rochester, NY – Since its publication in 1978, Raymond Briggs' charming book, The Snowman, brought to life by its soft, wintry watercolor images, has become a beloved children's classic. In 1982, the wordless book about the friendship between a little boy and the snowman he creates, was made into a 26-minute animated film and shown in Great Britain that Christmas Eve, becoming an immediate hit and subsequent perennial holiday favorite. On Sunday afternoon December 14 at 2:00 pm at the Eastman Theatre, the film – with the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra performing the live musical score by Howard Blake – will be the centerpiece of the RPO's orKIDStra Holiday concert conducted by Michael Butterman (the Louise and Henry Epstein Family Chair).
The orKIDStra Holiday concert opens with seasonal "March of the Toys" from the film Babes in Toyland, followed by Jeff Tyzik's "Chanukah Suite," Leroy Anderson's "Sleigh Ride," and a fun holiday sing-along with well-known tunes like "Deck the Halls," "Jingle Bells," and more. The concert provides the perfect opportunity for families to share a musical holiday tradition.
As an added bonus, The Snowman also will feature the talents of 10 singers from The Boys Choir of the Bach Children's Chorus (Karla Krogstad, director) who were chosen specifically for this special opportunity to sing the signature melody at the end of the film. The Choir is composed of talented young boys ages 8-15.
General admission tickets are $15 for adults; $10 for children, available online 24/7 at www.rpo.org, by phone (454-2100) in person from the RPO Box Office, Monday-Saturday, 10:00 am-5:00 pm (non-concert Saturdays, 10:00 am-3:00 pm); and seven days a week at area Wegmans. A convenience fee may apply.
Celebrating its 86th season in 2008-09, the RPO inspires and enriches the community through the art of music, presenting nearly 200 performances each season to a combined audience of an estimated quarter of a million people, including more than 70,000 who experience the RPO's broad range of educational and community programs. The Orchestra is passionately dedicated to outstanding musical performance at the highest artistic levels, and has a unique tradition of musical versatility, commitment to music education in the broadest sense and a deep and enduring engagement with the community. The RPO has been honored with the New York State Governor's Arts Award and two recent ASCAP awards for adventurous programming. RPO performances are made possible in part with grants from the National Endowment for the Arts; the New York State Council on the Arts, a State Agency; the State of New York; Monroe County and the City of Rochester.

Could Walt's Gun-in-the-Trunk Plan in Breaking Bad's Finale Work?
MythBusters tackled the purportedly ludicrous finale of Breaking Bad.
Warning: If you haven't watched the end of Breaking Bad, don't read this. The entire post is concerned exclusively with its final moments.
In the final episode of Vince Gilligan's Breaking Bad, Walter White allows himself to be captured by skinhead drug dealers in order to save Jesse Pinkman. But Walt has a plan: An M60 machine gun — the kind of heavy-duty monster of a machine gun that gets mounted on armored vehicles — is rigged to a rotating machine in the trunk of his car. It goes off, launching a torrent of bullets into the skinheads' hideout while Walt hits the floor, out of harm's way. The gun tears apart the bad guys while Walt survives. For a while.
The show is widely considered one of the best ever, but the finale did earn some puzzled reactions. Not that Breaking Bad was ever a realistic show, but the machine-gun-in-the-car-trunk thing seemed a little ... silly? Well, MythBusters took Walt's ploy to task, re-creating the setup with the help of Vince Gilligan. MythBusters has tackled Breaking Bad before (that awesome scene where the melting body falls through the bathtub — not realistic), and the show has so far gone oh-for-two. Watch the video below and see if Walt's plan could have actually worked.

Finding Father Christmas (2016) – Erin Krakow Stars in Drama about Home and Family
Wednesday, December 14, 2016

- AnonymousDecember 15, 2016
Yay!! You completely did this absolutely magical film justice with a spot-on review I really enjoyed reading. I agree that there is definitely an underlying theme and feeling to this flick that is about something much bigger than just a mere romance, but that at the same time elevates the scenes between Miranda and Ian to something more. I really adored the fact that she trusted him and told him the truth relatively early on, that he and the whole town readily embraced her so wholeheartedly, and the sense of belonging and resolution that permeated that sigh-worthy ending.ReplyDelete
If I were forced to pick my favourite scene, I would have to name the one at the end between Miranda and Margaret (both of them just pulled off the emotional weight and resonance of that cleansing conversation so beautifully), and when Ian is almost in tears asking Miranda to stay. Their off-the-charts chemistry was just so natural, believable, and apparent from their first scene together.
I felt Miranda's loneliness and longing for family and roots keenly, making the pay-off something to relish, especially that promise of getting to cultivate a relationship with her brother, proving what a sensational actress Erin Krakow really is, and making me think I should maybe start watching When Calls the Heart already!
God Bless
Eleanor Rose
P.S: Have you had a chance to watch A Dream of Christmas yet? It was right at the top of my most anticipated this season, and lived up to my expectations in every way!Replies
Whenever the writer's go the least cliche root in a romance, I'm all for it, Eleanor. I love that this romance was riddled with them, because it makes the story all the more special. Also, the fact that this one looks beyond more than the romance makes Finding Father Christmas one of my new favorites.Delete
Aw, I loved that scene between Ian and Miranda. So much honest truth hangs between them.
Like you, I really appreciated the scenes between Miranda and Margaret. Definitely an interesting relationship there, and though we're left at the start of it, there's a hopeful feeling Miranda is going to be warmly welcomed into her father's family. :)
Ooo! Let me know if/when you see WCTH! I'd be curious to know what you think. She's also in other Hallmark's (Christmas and non-Christmas).
I haven't seen A Dream of Christmas! Perhaps I'll get it watched this week or next. Thanks for the recommendation. I'm always for those. :)
PS: apologies for the reply delay.
What?! Are you serious?? This is based on a Robin Jones Gunn book?! I saw this movie and loved it!! I can't believe I didn't know it was from a favorite childhood author.ReplyDelete
Great review, as always, Rissi. I love reading these!Replies
It is indeed, Bekah! In fact, I think this is kind of a combination of two of her novels. :) So glad you enjoyed this one - and it's from a favorite author. Makes it all the more fun, right! Thank you, as always, for being a reader.Delete
We watch all the Hallmark Christmas movies at our house and really enjoyed this one. Just a heads up, we found two more we really loved on Lifetime called A Gift Wrapped Christmas and Heaven Sent. The last one is new and although we just watched it this week we are going to watch it again. It's going on our list of favorites! It's been playing again on Monday night. The other one is available on Amazon and is also a favorite.ReplyDeleteReplies
We're big Hallmark buffs at my house too, Brittaney. I'm always glad to discover new ones, so thanks so much for the recommendations. Now you mention it, I think I own a copy of A Gift Wrapped Christmas in my iTunes account and if so, I'll have to make time for that one this week. :)Delete

All of the services currently located in the Central Office complex of Wicomico County Public Schools – in the main building and the annexes – will be moving from Long Avenue to the Northgate Business Park in north Salisbury this summer.
This move will place nearly all Central Office service operations in one location, under one roof. This will allow for greater efficiency in services and operations, while resolving longstanding facility issues with the annex portable buildings in a cost-conscious manner.
The Board of Education this week approved a 20-year lease agreement for Building Three, Suite #100 at Northgate Business Park on Northgate Drive. There is enough space at the new location to house offices currently in the main building on Long Avenue as well as in Annexes 1, 2, 3 and 4, and to hold Board of Education meetings. Some 150 employees will be housed together at the new location. Planning for the move to the new location sometime this summer is underway.
The new Central Office location makes good fiscal and operational sense in three key areas:
"We are pleased on behalf of our students, families and staff to have this affordable opportunity to relocate into a new Central Office," said Dr. John Fredericksen, Superintendent. "In addition to being the fiscally responsible option, the new location will be better for operational efficiency, and better for the health and safety of our staff and those we serve."
The new location comes at a much lower cost than other options that were looked at by the school system. For what the school system would have needed to spend on office renovations and annex replacements, the new facility can be leased for nearly a century.
As an example: A preliminary estimate of the cost to partially renovate Wicomico Middle into offices was $24 to $30 million in capital expenditure, not to mention the need to redistrict and consolidate. The conversion of other schools or buildings into office-type use would be similar in cost, requiring additional accommodations to address codes and ordinances. And, since such a project would not be a renovation of instructional space, there would be no matching state funds. That would mean 100% of the cost would have had to come from local bonds.
The lease on the new location is $8.45 per square foot for 30,000 square feet of finished, furnished office space. The annual lease cost for the Northgate location will be $253,500, with the monthly payments coming from the school system's ongoing Operating Budget. No additional local funding is being sought for this. It is important to note that this relocation will have no impact whatsoever on the planned replacement of West Salisbury Elementary School, since school construction projects are funded through the Capital Budget.
This relocation will allow the Board to remove the Central Office Administration project from its Capital Plan. That project was slated to be addressed in needs in Fiscal Year 2020, at a cost of $6.5 million. This change to the Capital Plan is extremely beneficial for Wicomico County Public Schools since those dollars would have been in direct competition with other capital projects needed for schools.
The Board of Education put a high priority on vacating the aging annexes for health and safety reasons. The annexes are portable buildings located between the original Board of Education Building and Wicomico High School and house many key support offices. Perdue Farms Inc. generously donated these portables to the school system once it had finished its headquarters project more than two decades ago; the school system used the portables for the phased renovation of Wicomico High School and since then for instruction and offices. These "temporary" structures have long since outlived their useful life and require frequent, costly repairs. The condition of the structures has become a real concern for employee, student, and visitor health and safety.
"For several years the Board has expressed concern over the working environment of our employees in the Annex area of our present location. The cost of repair or replacement far exceeded the funds available to us," said Board President Ron Willey. "This opportunity to lease property that will satisfy these issues as well as allow Central Office personnel to be housed in one safe and healthy location was the best solution we have found in our recent years of searching."
For some time the school system looked for office space to address the problem of the annexes, but that search had not yielded anything of the right size and cost. A few months ago, the Knowland Group contacted the school system to see whether Wicomico Schools would like to have their office furniture since the company was no longer operating out of its Salisbury call center location at Northgate. When school officials went to see the furnishings that were being donated, they learned that the furniture was for the whole office area and was valued at nearly $400,000. They also learned that the office space was going to become available to rent as well since the company's lease was ending. This provided the chance for the school system to move into a finished, furnished office space at a fraction of the cost of other relocation options.
From the beginning, the school system kept the local County government apprised of its tentative plans as it worked through the details of the plan.
The school system is looking forward to improved efficiency and communication from having most of its Central Office departments all under one roof for ongoing collaboration and communication. Approximately 150 employees will now be located in the same building instead of spread across five different buildings.
Plans for the relocation are fluid as details are being worked out, but the current plans calls for the existing Central Office building on Long Avenue to house the growing Infants and Toddlers Program, which is now renting space on Northwood Drive. Relocating Infants and Toddlers from rented space in north Salisbury to owned space would save about $50,000 a year. The new location would be easily accessible to the families who use the Infants and Toddlers services. Over the next year, plans also call for the annexes to be decommissioned and removed from the site.

Exceptional 9.4 From 74 reviews
Very very friendly people. I felt right at home. The building is worth a museum.
What a gem in the heart of little India in the historic district of GeorgeTown. The entire building has been beautifully restored and decorated. Like most hotels in the historic district there is no elevator, but there is a pulley system at the step brings up your bags to the higher level. The bistro in the hotel serves a delicious breakfast which is complementary. One of the strongest assets besides the location which is central to everything is the fabulous staff here at the hotel. Everyone was incredibly helpful and knowledgeable about Penang. A special shout out to Uma, who greeted us and was incredibly helpful throughout our stay. Our four nights here was definitely a highlight of our time in Malaysia.
This is my 2nd time and Uma was hospitable as usual, she knew we were travelling with a baby and went above and beyond to make our stay extra comfortable. Will definitely be returning here.
Ten I Tang is a gem, it fits into the teeming neighborhood but is a sanctuary within. And, the owners could not possibly have been more welcoming, hospitable and informative. Better than any concierge.
Ten I tang is a GEM in little India. The place is spotlessly clean, they've made hotel rooms out of an old building which has been used to prepare medicines for decades. The ambience is unique and the hosts are helpful and very proactive in giving you tips for your stay in Georgetown. Breakfast really nice. Highly recommended.

One year from now, WSVN-Ch. 7`s decision to cram its schedule with news, news and more news will be looked upon either as a great idea or a unique form of suicide. In any case, it`s a daring move by a station that hasn`t been known for them recently.
Channel 7 is, of course, the NBC affiliate that will become an independent, non-network station in January. That`s when WTVJ-Ch. 4 inherits the NBC mantle and WCIX-Ch. 6 changes from an independent to a CBS station.
When the affiliate shake-up became front-page news a month ago, every media pundit in town predicted that Channel 7 owner Ed Ansin would dismantle his news operation and cut back to the spartan crew that is normally found at an ``indie.``
After all, how many people does it take to broadcast off-network reruns and sell the commercial time in between? A skeleton crew, right?
Wrong, said Ansin. He wouldn`t cut back on anything.
Channel 7 will batten down the hatches, regroup and use its satellite and remote facilities -- not to mention its large staff -- to concentrate on news, not eliminate it.
Channel 7 will continue to deliver two hours of news in the early evening, plus a 10 p.m. newscast. The station will expand its public-affairs commitment. And it will produce the first substantive newsmagazine the Miami/ Fort Lauderdale broadcast market has ever seen.
And people will watch.
Ansin`s first move in this direction was the hiring of Vicki Gregorian, a former program director of an indie in Boston and an affiliate in Buffalo, N.Y. Gregorian starts at WSVN in two weeks.
Meanwhile, Channel 7 is grabbing whatever syndicated fare remains unclaimed in this competitive market. The station is expected to take over the commitment to Fox Broadcasting (The Late Show, 21 Jump Street, etc.) that will be abandoned by Channel 6 when it begins airing CBS programming.

With the heroin epidemic gripping the nation, addiction is getting an unprecedented amount of coverage in the media lately but there's something about the coverage that's starting to bother me and others have noticed it as well.
What I can't help but notice is that until the heroin crisis started to affect young, white upper- and middle-class kids in the suburbs no one really paid attention or cared. Please understand that I am not discounting the affect that heroin has had on these kids and their families; in many cases lives have been lost and families have been devastated and I wouldn't wish that pain on anyone. I know about losing a loved one to addiction having lost my brother to alcoholism several years ago, and it's a pain I still deal with to this day.
But what can't be denied is that people of color and low income white people having been dealing with addiction and death from heroin and a host of other substances for many years. The most attention they've received is from the police, judges and lawyers as they are ushered in and out of courts and the prison system. If they are fortunate enough to get to and stay in recovery, they now have a felony on their record that makes it damn near impossible for them to find a decent job or a place to live.
Acknowledge the Differences
When I see coverage of the heroin epidemic, whether it's local or national, overwhelmingly the people featured in the stories are white, come from "good" homes, and are presented in a very positive and sympathetic way. Contrast that with people of color who, if their stories are even told, are presented as coming from "broken" or "dysfunctional" homes and usually have some prior contact with the criminal justice system so we shouldn't be surprised that this is happening to them. While there is some truth to both scenarios, it is the generalization that both scenarios are completely true which causes my concern. Once again this is where I believe stigma and to some degree an evidence of bias come into play, and that can be a very dangerous thing.
As we all know, the stigma surrounding addiction keeps millions of people from seeking the help they and their families so desperately need. So when people are brave enough to come forward and share their stories; whether it be the person with the addiction talking about how they made it to recovery, or a family talking about how the loss of their loved one motivates them to help others, it can be a huge help. But when all the stories you see feature people who don't look like you, or haven't had to deal with the circumstances you have it makes it more difficult to not only relate, but to get the message across. There are cultural and class differences that make it very difficult for certain communities to deal with addiction. Their stories should be told in a way that acknowledges those differences, but does not demonize them in order to present a more balanced view of addiction.
Addiction affects so many different people and we just want to see that fairly represented in the media coverage. There are so many more people dealing with and being devastated by the heroin epidemic in this country other than young white kids in the suburbs, so why not acknowledge that and show it?

Crochet is my favorite yarn art, however, I do enjoy knitting too and every so often I write a knit pattern. Sometimes I need to take a little break from crochet just to clear my head. The other night I took such a break and was looking for a little inspiration. Fortunately, my son's girlfriend provided the inspiration — she needed a pair of warm fingerless gloves!
This is a super simple pattern and took less than 2 hours to finish in a bulky yarn and 9.0 mm needles. I didn't have double pointed needles in the right size so I worked this flat and seamed them closed, but if you do, it will avoid the seam!

Having my say: Not so fast with drugs
Having my say: Not so fast with drugs
All this as U.S. demographic trends would indicate that LTC pharmacies are needed now more than ever.
High up on the uncertainty list for LTC pharmacies is the so-called "short cycle rule." Section 3310 of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (or health reform law) required changes in LTC dispensing methodology intended to "reduce waste associated with 30-day fills." In response, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services proposed requiring all LTC pharmacies to dispense brand name medications to enrollees in no greater than seven-day supplies.
But is the cost savings associated with the dispensing of smaller quantities of medications worth the increased costs of pharmacy and nursing time to dispense and check in medications three more times per month? No one really knows.
Tell us more
More data are required about the costs and benefits of seven-day-or-less dispensing, and a study or pilot should be utilized to test different types of dispensing techniques. LTC pharmacists should get engaged in the policymaking process and work with Congress and CMS to implement the right policy to produce the least waste and provide the most systemic savings.
To help quantify the costs associated with short-cycle dispensing, the National Community Pharmacists Association is conducting an LTC-specific, cost-of-dispensing study. Without such data, it's difficult to evaluate policies like short-cycle, much less to ensure accurate and appropriate LTC dispensing fees are paid by states and third-party insurers.
Providing enhanced patient care services to Medicare Part D long-term care residents, such specialized packaging and delivery services, is required by the Medicare Prescription Drug Benefit Manual and differs substantially from the paradigm of retail dispensing. Pharmacists must be able to quantify the additional effort necessary to provide these services to LTC residents to help ensure these patients receive high-quality and timely care.
In addition, virtually any LTC pharmacy reimbursed by third-party insurance companies can attest to the need to reform the seemingly abusive business practices of the pharmacy benefit manager (PBM) industry.
Transparency is paramount because, as the profit margins of PBMs increase, plan sponsors, patients and pharmacies are being squeezed and kept in the dark. Limited PBM disclosure requirements, as mandated for certain plans in healthcare reform, would offer plan sponsors neutral data with which to evaluate their prescription benefits and help deter costly PBM tactics, such as switching patients to a more costly drug to pad profits.
More fairness needed
Other remedies include identifying on a weekly basis sources for maximum allowable cost (MAC) pricing and reimbursement benchmarks; ending PBM ownership conflicts of interest by preventing PBMs from mandating that patients use a specific pharmacy in which they have an ownership interest (or vice versa); and prohibiting the offering of incentives to encourage patients to use only the PBM-owned mail order pharmacy or its commonly owned but inconveniently located retail chain pharmacy.
In terms of PBM audits of pharmacies, more fairness should be introduced into the process, such as prohibiting statistical extrapolation of results and offering a written appeals process, to allow legitimate pharmacy oversight while letting pharmacists focus on patient care.
Providing needed medications to long-term care patients in a timely manner has become more difficult due to recent changes in the interpretation and enforcement of the Controlled Substances Act by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA). The standard of practice of allowing the nurse to relay information between the physician and the pharmacist has been upended.
U.S. Sen. Herb Kohl (D-WI) has led commendable efforts to rectify the situation, but the problem is far from resolved. Long-term care patient advocates and pharmacists should stay engaged to make sure LTC patients are not put in the untenable position of not being able to get badly needed pain medication because of bureaucratic hurdles.
While challenges abound, in each lies an opportunity for LTC pharmacists to tell their story and increase recognition of the critical, cost-saving care that we provide. By striving to get better legislative and regulatory outcomes, we believe that LTC pharmacies will be able not only to survive, but also thrive.

MINTEQA2 Introduction
MINTEQA2 Database
MINTEQA2 Requirements
MINTEQA2 Introduction
MINTEQA2 is a geochemical equilibrium speciation model capable of computing equilibria among the dissolved, adsorbed, solid, and gas phases in the laboratory or in natural aqueous systems. MINTEQA2 includes an extensive database of reliable thermodynamic data that is also accessible to PRODEFA2, an interactive program designed to be executed prior to MINTEQA2 for the purpose of creating the required MINTEQA2 input file. Both MINTEQA2 and PRODEFA2 utilize extended memory.
The data required to predict the equilibrium composition in MINTEQA2 consists of a chemical analysis of the sample to be modeled giving total dissolved concentrations for the components of interest and any other relevant invariant measurements for the system of interest, possibly (but not necessarily) including pH, pe, or the partial pressures of one or more gases. A measured value of pH and/or pe may be specified as equilibrium values or MINTEQA2 can calculate equilibrium values. Also, a mineral may be specified as presumed present at equilibrium, but subject to dissolution if equilibrium conditions warrant, or definitely present at equilibrium and not subject to complete dissolution.
MINTEQA2 Database
MINTEQA2 has an extensive thermodynamic database that is adequate for solving a broad range of problems without need for additional user-supplied equilibrium constants. The standard database can be easily modified if it is found to be incomplete or inadequate for a particular problem. The empirical nature of the available metal adsorption data reflects the fact that natural adsorbent phases often occur as mixtures of impure amorphous substances that vary widely in chemical behavior from site to site. For this reason, adsorption data are left to the discretion and problem-specific knowledge of the user. Seven adsorption models are available in MINTEQA2 to match the type of data available for specific problems:
(1) the activity Kd model
(2) the activity Langmuir model
(3) the activity Freundlich model
(4) the ion exchange model
(5) constant capacitance model
(6) the triple-layer model
(7) the diffuse-layer model
Thermodynamic database files of surface reactions are generally not provided for these models as for aqueous and solid species; the user must provide the set of surface reactions and their equilibrium constants. An exception is a database of several surface reactions relevant to the diffuse-layer model for trace metal adsorption onto an iron oxide surface.
The application of a geochemical equilibrium model to an environmental problem involves four steps:
(1) Formulate one or more precise and relevant chemical questions that can be answered if one knows the equilibrium composition of the system. The formulation of the chemical questions must respect the inherent limitations in the site-specific data such as incomplete sampling or incomplete chemical analyses of samples.
(2) Pose the chemical questions to the model in terms of those symbols and formats that it is programmed to understand and from which it may interpret a mathematical problem.
(3) Cause the computer program that is the geochemical equilibrium model (in this case, MINTEOA2) to solve the mathematical problem.
(4) Interpret the output from the model in terms of the original environmental problem.
The first step is almost always the most difficult; the ability to do this well is not obtained from reading a user manual.
PRODEFA2 is designed to perform step 2 by asking questions about the chemical system to be modeled and building the appropriate MINTEQA2 input file from the answers.
Step 3, the actual execution of MINTEQA2, is usually rather automatic, not requiring user intervention once initiated. Occasionally, computational problems will occur during execution that will require the user to make adjustments to the input file and re-execute MINTEQA2.
Step 4 is performed as the user examines the MINTEQA2 output file and relates the result to the initial problem.
The MINTEQA2 package includes both source and executable codes for MINTEQA2 and PRODEFA2 as well as technical support.
MINTEQA2 Requirements: PC 486/Pentium with 2 MB RAM and math coprocessor.

Lucky Bang
Book 3.5, The Lucky O'Toole Vegas Adventure Series - A Lucky O'Toole Original Novella 2
Deborah Coonts
This book can be downloaded and read in iBooks on your Mac or iOS device.
"Evanovich...with a dash of CSI." - Publishers Weekly (review of Lucky Stiff)
Everyone Has a Hidden Talent
For Lucky O'Toole it's murder...solving it.
Surviving in Sin City takes cunning, a pair of five-inch heels, and a wiseass attitude. Lucky has mastered them all and has a pair of legs she uses to kick butt and turn heads.
As the Chief Problem Solver for the Babylon, Las Vegas's most over-the-top destination, mischief is in her job description.
She's good at her job.
She's less good at life. But who has time for a life when there's a killer on the loose?
Having a blast on the 4th of July in Vegas takes on a whole new meaning for Lucky O'Toole, head of customer relations for the Babylon, a major Strip property, when she discovers a bomb in a friend's restaurant and narrowly escapes becoming part of the "explosive entertainment." And this wasn't the first time. Years ago, when Lucky was small, she'd had another narrow escape. Could the two be related? Missing dynamite, an old grudge, whispers from the past, force Lucky to delve into dark secrets best left alone. And when her father disappears, things become personal.

Why did you decide to write humor?
I'm not sure I decided to add snark to the Lucky, books, specifically to Lucky's own voice, it just happened that way. When I was a kid, my mouth always got me into trouble. Finally, I've found a way to harness the sarcasm for the Forces of Good--or at least in a way not to anger my grandmother. And when Lucky started talking to me, she had a strong dose of sass in her.
The Lucky O'Toole Vegas Adventure series is hard to categorize. Is that by design?
When I set out to write Wanna Get Lucky?, I knew I wanted to write a romp through Las Vegas. I had the characters and the setting but no real understanding of narrative drive. So, I threw a young woman out of a tour helicopter into the middle of the Pirate Show and let the story unfold. A bit of murder to keep the plot moving, some wisecracking and Vegas mischief to make you laugh, and some romance to keep it interesting. A bit of a mash up, but it works.

"Las Vegas is the perfect setting for this witty tale of misdirection and larger-than-life characters. Fans of J. A. Konrath's Jack Daniels series will love this." - Library Journal, starred review
"A whirlwind of a kooky crime novel, and readers will enjoy every minute of it. Coonts provides the perfect solution for readers waiting for the next Stephanie Plum book." - Booklist
Customer Reviews
Lucky books
I love them all!
I love these books. For me, a great book needs 2 things: good meaty, believable characters (must be likable) and an interesting plot. These books deliver!
The character development of the series is excellent, and the plot always keeps me wondering which way the story will jump next.
Another hit!
Another wonderful read on the adventures of Lucky. I love the series. Great writing with drama, mystery, humor and love.

What Your Son Will Say: How did real photographers feel about those filters?
What We Say: They don't like them, little Jimmy. Not at all. We had a photographer friend of ours make a great argument against the best-selling app. He was flipping out about Instagram and we suggested he find something else to complain about, like gas prices. Then he asked how we would like it if an app could write an article that people thought could pass as professional for anyone who woke up one day and decided that "taking up writing would be fun."
Point taken.

The first last and only rule any voter needs to take into the voting booth is do not vote for anyone that is an incumbent or presently holds another public/political office.

The ticket booth is situated in the center of the entrance screen of doors.
The privacy of the voting booth is a check on bribery and intimidation, for there is no way to be sure that bought or browbeaten votes will be cast as directed.
The coming rebellion in the voting booth is not only about the economic impact of spending, debt and deficits on America's future.

Anna Bond's work seamlessly blends together humour, glamour, texture and whimsy while successfully pushing her work into new territories. After years of creating a prolific amount stationery items Anna has now designed a range of extraordinarily beautiful wallpaper with Hygge & West. Which is your favourite? I'm loving the pineapples!
This pattern reminds me of this zebra print wallpaper by Flora Scalamandré.
Her work has shown a whole new way of painting which has been heavily emulated by other designers over the years. In my opinion, Anna Bond's work will be as classic as Florence Broadhurst or Orla Kiely.
PS. A day in the life of Anna Bond... it's pretty full on.

I am a former married single mother.
Which is why I am now an unmarried single mother.
The only difference – I now have half of the laundry and half of the dishes to clean. Seriously. When your husband contributes very little around the house, when you're the one driving the kids to and from everything and then at the end of the night when he isn't even there for you emotionally, but actually makes you feel worse – it's easy to feel like a single mother when you're married.
Married mothers tell me this all of the time, "I feel like a single mom!"
I bite my lip and try not to scream, "Why in the hell are you with him then? Get out! It's awesome over here. You could be free – of him." Instead, I nod slowly and listen, trying to put myself back in that spot – that tough spot – when you can't decide whether or not you should leave. So I ask, "Will he try counseling?" The answer is almost always, "No way."
I give them all of the positive support and advice I can muster but sometimes, from the outside looking in – especially when you've been there, it's clear they'd be better off single. But I can't make the choice for them. Everyone has to do what they need to do and should exhaust all options before ending a marriage.
Some married single mothers aren't even fighting anymore. They've given up entirely on improving their marriage after meeting road block after road block from their husbands. As a result, they've conceded to the fact that this is their life and have committed themselves to this terminal diagnosis – "til death do us part." My opinion on this is clear… I've said it before – to hell with religious beliefs, to hell with what your friends and family think – men need to step up or get the hell out, and if not then get rid of them. Why?
Because being a single mother is far better than being a miserably married mother. And your children need to see you happy, both of you happy.
With that said, I have met so many single fathers who clearly didn't deserve to be left. So there are definitely magnificent husbands out there being neglected as well, but that's another topic for another post. Back to the single married mothers…
Will you be instantly happier if you leave your husband? No. Divorce is hell. The entire process is hell. But once the dust settles the days will be brighter and so will the future. Just get a good attorney.
Here's a story a friend shared after leaving her husband recently, "Now I can finally eat crunchy peanut butter again. I know it sounds silly, but he hated crunchy peanut butter so I never bought it – it just makes me so happy – this stupid jar of peanut butter, I can't stop eating it. Isn't that crazy?"
No, it isn't crazy at all. What sounds crazy is staying in a relationship with a man who won't let you buy crunchy peanut butter. Or one, in which, you give up everything you love for him and receive nothing in return.
I've been meaning to write this post for a long, long time. Because I think of them often – the married mothers who are still there, dreaming of leaving but giving him time to change. They are prisoners, sometimes slaves to the relationship, trapped in a cage with someone who won't help them climb out, someone who doesn't care enough to fight with you to make it work. And that sucks.
This post may come off as harsh to some (men) but I could care less. Many of you need to step up to your responsibilities as husbands and fathers and stop acting like boys. And for God's sakes – consider marriage counseling.
More advice on whether or not you should leave your husband.
