As part of this week's Association of American Medical Colleges Integrating Quality (IQ) meeting, we are featuring a post that originally appeared at Wing of Zock about trainees efforts to teach value.
Medical education's efforts to incorporate the teaching of value-based care into formalized curricula have been remarkably few and fraught with challenges. More than 60% of med school grads feel they get inadequate instruction in medical economics, a figure that hasn't budged in more than five years. At the same time, residents are subjected to the insidious influence of a "Hidden Curriculum" that seems to shun conservation in favor of consumption. The result is predictable: we are churning out providers that feel neither prepared nor compelled to allocate clinical resources more sustainably.
It's not uncommon for trainees to contemplate the cost of a test or treatment. But that thought rarely ends up being more than a fleeting curiosity. Whilst juggling an exponentially increasing body of data and evidence, consensus-based guidelines, attending preferences and the increasing complexity of patients, the thought of adding another variable to our calculus seems daunting.
The common refrain is we don't have enough information to make value-based judgments. Discussion of cost-effectiveness among trainees usually centers on price transparency, or rather, a lack thereof. Survey the workroom of an academic hospital and you'll get five different estimates for the cost of a CT scan. The monumental price tag of some items is even the source of folk-lore among residents: "Did you know that stress test costs $5,000?!" Adding to the myth's power is the fact that prior to the recent decision by Health and Human Services to release hospital chargemasters, these documents have been treated like trade secrets. And even if an enterprising resident were able to obtain the classified dossier, the listed charge would bear no relation to the price the patient eventually pays.
But clinical malaise and the abstruse nature of hospital pricing should not prevent us from grappling with the excess and overuse typical of most training environments. As tertiary referral centers, teaching hospitals attract a subset of patients seeking an exhaustive work-up or more aggressive care from thought leaders – our mentors – in subspecialty fields. Accordingly, these mentors are more likely to ask, "Why didn't you order test X?" ratber than, "Why did you order test X, and what are you going to do with the information?" . A superfluous test is a "good thought." A step-wise evaluation is often "expedited" with a single round of testing. An outside work-up is repeated to have "all the data in-house." These behaviors are then reinforced by our conferences, which focus on extensive diagnostic evaluations of rare diseases.
At its core, this is an issue of culture and our unbridled pursuit of clinical excellence. Trainees can and should help refashion this culture to achieve better value for patients. Student activism has heavily influenced the practices of today's medical schools and residency programs, perhaps best evidenced by the American Medical Student Association's PharmFree Campaign. The success of the Institute for Healthcare Improvement in spreading the principles of quality improvement (QI) can be attributed in part to the enthusiasm of trainees, empowered by the Open School to create and champion their own curricula. At a microsystem level, residents might incorporate value into QI projects and institutional research or lobby at an administrative level for increased information about the costs of their practice. As individuals, we can leverage our greater familiarity with new media and technology to promote resources such as Choosing Wisely, Healthcare Bluebook, and Consumer Reports Best Buy Drugs.
There are promising signs that current physicians-in-training are committed to championing the principles of resource stewardship. Costs of Care, a 501c3 non-profit social venture founded by trainees, has used crowdsourcing to engage both patients and physicians in the discussion of value-based care. More than 300 real patient and physician stories illustrating opportunities to provide high value care have materialized from their widely publicized annual essay contest. More formalized curricula in cost awareness at UCSF and UPenn originated from the work of residents. As a medical student, I was fortunate to be a part of a team that created a web-based curriculum in overuse.
There are undoubtedly other examples of "conservationists" in training out there. We want to meet you! We will be presenting our work at the upcoming AAMC IQ conference on June 6th. Come to Chicago, tell us about your project, be it a completed program or just a fresh idea. Or you can find us online at http://teachingvalue.org/competition.

Why personal finance must be set upon a strong foundation
The more the economy continues to bump along, without much evidence of rebounding, the more anxious people become about the future. We don't like uncertainty, especially financial uncertainty. Have you noticed how many people are ready for economic change? Nearly all of us! And regardless of how we've weathered this recessionary storm, we all have a need for a solid financial foundation.
Poor employment numbers, diminished value on investments, lost equity in real estate—these and more have pushed many of us out of our comfort zone during the last several years. This has instilled some with an urgency to find new ways of doing things and has led to some good changes. Many, though, are still looking for direction, hope and a positive outlook about the future.
Laying a solid financial foundation, regardless of the economic climate or forecast, always includes the mixture of our beliefs and behaviors. Thus, our financial condition is very connected to our spiritual life.
How will we see more value, more fruitfulness produced in our bank accounts? The same way we see it produced in our spiritual life. The answer lies "below ground," in the root system of your life.
In Psalm 1, David likened the righteous person to "a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither." For the tree planted by the stream, it doesn't matter how dry the climate is. The stream, not the rain, is its water source. It gets its water whether it rains or not—whether the climate conditions are favorable for growth or not. It is rooted into good soil and immune to leaf-withering heat.
Jesus talked about our being rooted like this in the parable of the sower. Shallow soil, He noted, can produce quick change and often looks like the better condition for fast growth. But soil without depth prevents lasting change. Rich soil, Jesus said, produces deep roots that can withstand the elements.
In the same way, a good foundation is laid below the ground to help whatever is built on it to stand, and withstand.
When major earthquakes hit Haiti and Chile in 2010, the difference in the damage they caused was significant. The Chile quake registered magnitude 8.8 compared with magnitude 7 for the Haiti quake, yet the damage in Chile was far less than in Haiti. What made the difference? Better building codes. The people of Chile were better protected by codes that required better foundations.
In our work with churches, we've found that for people to develop a solid financial foundation requires the right mix of methods and tools. Churches whose leaders offer their people compelling curriculum, small-group interaction, opt-in accountability structures, methods to measure progress, and ongoing reinforcement through discipleship can transform their people's thinking and behavior. But without these interlocking methods and structures, the chance of actual change goes down dramatically.
Here are four strong action points that—because they require you to change your behavior toward money—will start helping you lay a strong foundation on which to build your finances:
- Create an emergency fund of at least $1,000.
- Draw up a clear, workable debt-elimination plan that gets rid of all debt except your home mortgage.
- Develop the habit of naming every dollar you spend before the month begins.
- Get rid of credit cards and use cash in discretionary spending categories.
Above all else, the key to building a solid financial foundation is wisdom. Solomon said in Ecclesiastes 7:19, "Wisdom makes one wise person more powerful than ten rulers in a city" (NIV). God has called us to be wise, effective change-leaders. This includes with finances.

The Khoisan of South Africa are recognized as a people, in part because of YOU.
In 2009 I traveled to South Africa with three other people. The journey was one of the most difficult of my life because of people that took advantage of my good heart and at the time, naive view of people. It almost cost me and others our lives. Literally.
The details of this journey one day will be shared in detail but for today I would like to talk about a particular man we met there that we call, Chief Stanley.
This man came to the Hotel we were at in Johannesburg. Him and a handful of other San people. This is a long complicated story but for today I can only share the overall story of meeting him and the San people of South Africa.
On this trip we traveled in two vehicles with up to 15 people all San Leaders from all over South Africa. It was the beginning of them coming together to unify and gain their rights back as original Indigenous people. On this journey, I paid for everything with the money my mother left me after she died. It was worth every penny. It was the first time that most of them ever met in person because they did not have money to travel to meet each other.
It was profound!
We were taken into the Kalahari desert and met an amazing San Medicine man and a bushman. We did not have time to travel further or deeper into the bush because our flight was scheduled to go home and we had to get back to Johannesburg.
Myself and my good friend have stayed in touch with "Chief Stanley" and the Khoisan People over the years.
Every once in a while we have both pitched in and sent money to help the San be able to continue the work of unifying. It has not been much but every dollar has had profound impact.
Recently, I was given a larger donation. When this happens if I have food on my table I always look around the community to see if someone is struggling more than me and I share with others so they can keep moving forward working and not go hungry, like many of us do. You would be surprised…..that is what the grass roots people are doing, not the seminar tour people.
It hit me a few weeks ago… I MUST send Chief Stanley money. Where did that thought come from I don't know. What I do know is that when I have a feeling or thought that strong… I follow. An hour later I was at western union and sent 50 dollars to South Africa. Note that I had not emailed or talked to the Khoisan for many months.
I got home and sent an email to Chief Stanley and told him I sent him 50 dollars.
He replied and told me that he had been praying to God for days asking to send someone to give him money for his people. He told me that he was asked to speak to the South African Parliament on behalf of his people but did not have the money to travel from Uppington toJohannesburg.. He could not believe that " God sent me to him" he said.
That day I sent him another 50 dollars and told him to take someone with him. He needed support for such important work.
Chief Stanley spoke to the South African Parliament to ask them to recognize the KHOISAN as first and original Indigenous People of South Africa. Also on behalf of over 6,000 Khoisan over the age of 60 years and to return the land that had been stolen from them from the Colonizers.
In the beginning, the Khoisan people refused to work with the Colonizers so they were never recognized as a people in South Africa.
From the hearts of the Khoisan, thank you all for your support of them.
They were able to after years of work on unifying and coming together to gain their rights as a people, since the beginning of this process in 2009, Chief Stanley spoke on behalf of the Khoisan people in front of the Parliament, demanding to be recognized as a people and demanded the return of their land.
The Parliament then voted and….. for the first time in history ……. the Khoisan are now a recognized as original Indigenous people of South Africa and they have agreed to work on returning the land to them!
This is a victory for our community……. in unity…. of one heart!
Thank you to each and every one of you who contributes to this work!
They are now asking us to create a website for them so they can organize more effectively and get information to the public and their own people. We look forward to doing this work in the future.
Love to each of you reading this and may creator continue to guide us all on this path to the return of balance.

Below is an update from October of 2015. An interview with the KhoiSan.

Safety IDEA proposals are due Sept. 16, 2014.
TRB said Safety IDEA proposals will be considered for promising but unproven innovations to advance railroad practice. "Such proposals can apply to any type of railroad, including high-speed rail, intercity passenger rail, or freight railroads," TRB said.
Proposals are encouraged for innovations in a variety of areas in railroad systems: safety, security, and environment; human factors; rolling stock and components; track and structures; track/train interaction; grade crossings; hazardous materials transportation; and train occupant protection.
IDEA is an acronym for for Innovations Deserving Exploratory Analysis. The Safety IDEA Program provides funding at an early stage of the development process for promising but unproven innovative concepts or methods. IDEA proposals can be for up to $100,000 in IDEA funds. The Federal Railroad Administration funds the Safety IDEA Program.
More information, including instructions for preparing and submitting IDEA proposals, is available on the IDEA website. Questions can be emailed to TRB's Jon Williams or Allen Gause.
TRB, one of six major divisions of the National Research Council— a private, nonprofit institution—was established in 1920. TRB says its mission is "to promote innovation and progress in transportation through research."

HOUSTON - After nearly seven months on the run, a man accused of vandalizing a Picasso at the Menil Collection was back in Houston on Monday.
According to the Harris County District Attorney's Office, Uriel Landeros turned himself in at the Hidalgo Port of Entry shortly after crossing the border from Mexico into the United States about 4 p.m. on Jan. 8. He was charged with criminal mischief and felony graffiti, both of which are third-degree felonies.
After defacing the 1929 Picasso painting on June 13, Landeros vanished and remained silent until an exclusive interview with Local 2 in November.
The 22-year-old artist, who had been hiding out in northern Mexico, detailed his motivation behind the crime that shocked the Houston art community.
Landeros said he's not apologetic for spray painting a stenciled image of a bull, a matador, and the Spanish word "CONQUISTA," which means conquest, onto Picasso's "Woman in a Red Armchair."
"(Expletive) his painting. It's just a piece of cloth. What matters most is the people who are suffering," Landeros said.
Landeros said his actions were fueled by a mixture of social and political defiance.
"I'm part of the whole Occupy movement," Landeros explained.
Landeros said he chose the 13th of June because the number refers to a power structure. He said all he wanted to do was shed light on the corruption of banks, government and large institutions in the United States and Mexico.
"If I wanted to destroy that piece, I could have done it," he claimed. "The spray paint that I used was easily taken away. I really don't give a (expletive) about the 15 minutes of fame. If anything, I made that painting more famous than what it is."
The act was caught on cellphone video by a museum patron as it happened, then posted on YouTube.
Landeros was transferred from Hidalgo County Sunday and could face a judge in Houston this week.
If convicted, Landeros would face two to 10 years in prison.
His bond has been set at $250,000 for each count.

Current Population Survey, August 2011: Veterans Supplement (ICPSR 33882)
Alternate Title: CPS, August 2011
Principal Investigator(s): United States Department of Commerce. Bureau of the Census; United States Department of Labor. Bureau of Labor Statistics; United States Department of Veterans Affairs
This data collection is comprised of responses from two sets of survey questionnaires, the basic Current Population Survey (CPS) and a survey on the topic of Veterans in the United States, which was administered as a supplement to the August 2011 CPS questionnaire. The sponsor of the biennial supplement survey were the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), formerly the Veterans Administration, and the Department of Labor.
The CPS, administered monthly, is a labor force survey providing current estimates of the economic status and activities of the population of the United States. Specifically, the CPS provides estimates of total employment (both farm and nonfarm), nonfarm self-employed persons, domestics, and unpaid helpers in nonfarm family enterprises, wage and salaried employees, and estimates of total unemployment. Data from the CPS are provided for the week prior to the survey.
The Veterans Supplement portion of the study was designed to be a self-response survey and interviewers were instructed to make up to two personal or telephone callbacks before accepting a proxy interview. The Veterans Supplement provided estimates on the demographic and labor force characteristics of veterans 17 years old and over, including those who had a service-connected disability. The data also identified Gulf War era veterans and Vietnam theater veterans -- those who actually served in Vietnam, Laos, or Cambodia. Estimates of the number of veterans with and without a service-connected disability along with their labor force participation rates, occupational distributions, unemployment rates, periods of military service, and use of certain educational and job-training programs are provided.
Demographic variables include age, sex, race, Hispanic origin, marital status, veteran status, educational attainment, occupation, and income.

Unit of Observation: individuals within housing units
Universe: The CPS universe consists of all persons in the civilian noninstitutional population of the United States living in households. The August 2011 supplement universe represents the full CPS sample comprising all household members aged 17 years and older.
Users are strongly encouraged to refer to the User Guide (produced by the Principal Investigators), which contains additional information about the monthly CPS survey methodology, as well as detailed technical documentation specific to the Veterans Supplement. In particular, Attachment 8 of the User Guide contains the supplement questionnaire.
Edited universe statements are defined for individual variables and are located in the Basic or Supplement record layouts found in Attachment 6 or 7 of the User Guide, respectively.
ICPSR removed all FILLER and PADDING variables from the data. As a result, the column locations in any ICPSR-released data product (e.g., codebook and setup files) will have column locations that are not consistent with locations described in the User Guide.
Sample: A multistage probability sample was selected to represent the universe of approximately 56,000 households.
The veterans weight -- PWVETWGT -- should be used to tally any estimates from the Veterans Supplement data whether or not basic labor force items were used. Also, use the veterans weight to tally any estimates for veterans and nonveterans from the basic CPS.
Additional weight variables include:
- Household Weight -- HWHHWGT -- Used for tallying household characteristics.
- Family Weight -- PWFMWGT -- Used only for tallying family characteristics.
- Longitudinal Weight -- PWLGWGT -- Found only on adult records matched from month to month (used for gross flows analysis).
- Outgoing Rotation Weight -- PWORWGT -- Used for tallying information collected only in outgoing rotations.
- Final Weight -- PWSSWGT -- Used for most tabulations (particularly if tabulating just labor force items), controlled to independent estimates for (1) States; (2) Origin, Sex, and Age; and (3) Age, Race, and Sex.
- Composited Final Weight -- PWCMPWGT -- Used to create BLS's published labor force statistics.
Mode of Data Collection: computer-assisted personal interview (CAPI), computer-assisted telephone interview (CATI)
Description of Variables: All veterans aged 17 or older were asked questions from the Veterans Supplement (Items S1-S17). Item SCK2 was filled by the instrument based on entries from corresponding items (PUAFEVER and PUAFWHN1-4) from the basic portion of the CPS monthly instrument. Item S1 determined Vietnam theater status and was asked only of Vietnam veterans. Item CK-S1A isolated veterans 63 years of age and older who might possibly have served at the beginning of the Vietnam era as defined in Item S1A. Item S1A then determined whether the respondent actually did serve during this period. Item S1A1 determined whether the respondent served in Iraq since 2003. Item S1A2 determined whether the respondent served in Afghanistan since 2001. Items S1b, S1c, S1d, S10b, and S10c asked about Reserve or National Guard status. Item S4 screened for disabled veterans and Items S5 through S9 were asked only of disabled veterans. Item S10 asked for the year last separated from the military. Item S10a asked about branch of service. Item S11 obtained the number of years on active duty. Item S11a asked about combat or war zone service. Items S12 through S17 asked about participation in transition assistance, job training, and job placement programs; most of these items were asked only of veterans who were less than 65 years old.

File La Petite Youth Spa under "now we've heard of everything." The chi-chi high-end spa in North Miami Beach offers facials, masks, organic oil massages, manicures and pedicures—for little girls. Yes, tots can toddle into La Petite Youth Spa, slip into a robe and get a nice massage.
Because being 4 is oh-so stressful.
Oh wait, there's more. Your little princess' spa service comes courtesy of a tutu-wearing, pink-wigged employee. And, of course, there's a gourmet menu for girls to feast on should they need a little nosh while pampering is in progress. What recession?
When we were little, a facial was slapping on some of your mom's Sea Breeze when she wasn't looking and then wiping it off as fast as you could when it started to burn.
Apparently, those good old days of Mom's Noxema and Super Cuts haircuts are a thing of the past. The idea for the kid-friendly spa belongs to owner Adriana, a mom who wanted a place to treat her children to a day at the spa. She says, "This is a place where a girl can definitely be a girl." But we're thinking it sounds more like a place for divas-in-the-works to get big-diva training.
Oh well, at least now we won't have to worry about 4-year-olds stealing our standing Friday appointments for manis and pedis.

|ISS016-E-032414 (12 March 2008) --- An underside view of the Space Shuttle Endeavour was provided by Expedition 16 crewmembers on the International Space Station (ISS). Before docking with the station, astronaut Dominic Gorie, STS-123 commander, flew the shuttle through a roll pitch maneuver or basically a backflip to allow the space station crew a good view of Endeavour's heat shield. Using digital still cameras equipped with both 400 and 800 millimeter lenses, the ISS crewmembers took a number of photos of the shuttle's thermal protection system and sent them down to teams on the ground for analysis. A 400 millimeter lens was used for this image.

We were heading to MN so looking for a place to stay about 1/2 way. This Bed & Breakfast is an absolute beautiful place. The entire house is so nice - warm and inviting. You could reserve an individual room or the entire house. Donnis is a wonderful host, very friendly and easy going. Her breakfast was great & she accommodated my sisters food allergy. The B&B is only minutes from town where they have several restaurants to choose from. We took our food to go and went back to the B&B to eat. We can't wait to go back. Margo, Tracey, Joyce

Donnis is a friendly and welcoming hostess. The house was clean, modern and relaxing. My husband and I used it as a get a way from the kids. It was a wonderful experience that we would highly recommend and will be repeating. Also on the property is a cute store selling wine, jellies, candles, etc. It felt warm and pampering. The breakfast was great also.

Having a private bath with a 2-person hot tub, in-room TV, private balcony, and more was great, especially for the price. The staff was very accommodating and there's a small store on premises as well that sell all sorts of local products like wine, candy, bath balms, etc... I would definitely recommend this place.

We stayed a week and it was a very nice experience. The Bed was comfortable, there is a very large bathroom that I wish I could take home with me. The linens were of high quality and the towels were plump and plentiful. The room was very clean. There was a nice Dish Network package for when we wanted to watch TV. There was a nice balcony to get fresh air and the room temp was a comfortable 70 degrees from a quiet air conditioner. What more can you ask for.

I loved this place. The room was very nice and the breakfast each morning was great. The owners were so nice to talk to, they all made you feel like you were home rather than on the road.

Charming B&B. The hospitality was very gracious. It was like being at your grandparents.

We had a very enjoyable stay and the breakfast was great. The room was clean and quiet, and the hosts accommodated our schedule. Value for the money was very good, especially when you factor in the full breakfast!

We had the time of our lives on our honeymoon at Country Heritage Bed and Breakfast. We were looking for a quiet place to stay, far away from any big cities, and their location turned out to be perfect. Plenty of trails are available in the area for hiking and the scenery is just breathtaking. And to top it all off, we had the opportunity to wake up to incredibly friendly faces and plates full of breakfast delights (also, the jacuzzi was big enough for two and we still miss it!). We're definitely returning in the future if we get the chance to travel to the area. It was more than worth the four hour drive from where we live.

My family of five stayed one night at this beautiful B&B. It is in a very rural/farm setting near Hampton, IA (about 4 miles E off I-35) and the pleasantly pastoral setting gives you a wonderfully relaxing rest. The night we stayed, we were the only non-long term people there. Of the other three people, two were staying all summer and the third was staying for two months for work. The owners bend over backwards to ensure your stay is pleasant and the breakfast is wonderful. Adjacent to the house in an old garage is "The Giggling Goat" gift shop which is beautifully decorated using antique farm equipment and has a wonderful array of local and in-state made products such as flavored popcorn, cookie dough mix, candles, clothing, and other goods. I can't give the Country Heritage Bed & Breakfast a higher recomendation - a 5-star establishment and a definite gem in North Central Iowa!
4,2 sur mai 19, 2013
When you consider that the only other hotel in Hampton is $90 a night before taxes why wouldn't you stay at the Country Heritage Bed and Breakfast. Our stay was great. We reserved the whole place for our extended family. My only real regret is that we used it more like a standard hotel (just a place to sleep) and didn't take the time to really enjoy it.

My husband and I had a really nice stay here the people are wonderful who run this place and the room was very clean and the bathroom was very nice, very large heart shaped tub. Would stay again!!

The B&B is a good place to stay in this rural area. Prices arre reasonanble, service is very good and there is a good breakfast on the weekends when we have been there. It beats the heck out of any of the motels in the region.

We (my husband and myself) sincerely enjoyed the Country Heritage B&B! The atmosphere was relaxing and friendly. The common area was great gathering area for tv watching, board games, and to curl up with a book. Our room had wonderful views from the balcony, a great jet tub to unwind, and a warm fireplace. The breakfast was very filling and my husband thoroughly enjoyed every last bite! We would highly recommend this B&B to you!

Wow!!! What a weekend we were in store for!!! My first time in a B&B and I loved it all. Our hosts were most gracious and kept us well fed. Very lovely ladies fixed us breakfast and waited on us. Very pleasant to talk with. Yes, I hugged Donnis when I came thru the door!!!! I would rather hug a lady as to shake her hand. What a gracious lady and we really did feel at home. Thanks again for starting your B&B. Wayne

The innkeepers at Country Heritage Bed and Breakfast have become our family members. We shared our stories, and in return they opened their hearts, arms and home. This B&B is fantastic! Plenty of comfortable beds and bedrooms, plenty of privacy... the B&B just felt like home. When you're here there's no need to find a motel in the area. Country Heritage Bed and Breakfast is the place to stay. Enjoy using their full size kitchen to cook your own home-cooked meal. We have promised to be back!

We had a wonderful experience staying at the Country Heritage Bed and Breakfast in Hampton, Ia. We were in town to visit family and were taken in by Donnis, Lacey and Crystal as their own. It was a truly relaxing and memorable weekend with an exceptional hot breakfast each morning. This is truly a special place, run by very special people.

Hi. My name is Melinda. I recently stayed the weekend at Country Heritage B and B. I was pleasently suprized at the spacious rooms available, the freindly staff, the great food , and it was an incredible value. I would stay here before any other place in the area.

We requested and were granted late check in for our week long stay at this beautiful house in the country. We had a great time during our stay taking advantage of local activities and seeing family in the area. We looked forward to relaxing in our beautifully decorated, air conditioned, comfortable room each night. It truly felt like our "home away from home." It was an exceptional value and we really appreciated the hospitality.

My wife and I stayed here for 2 nights. The staff is excellent, friendly, and very accommodating. They really do make you feel at home when you're there. Spacious room and a large bathroom. We had a nice deck off the bedroom, too. The breakfast was excellent, too. This is a great place to stay if you want something more homey than at the local hotels. I'd stay here again.
5 sur juillet 01, 2012
We stayed for two nights at the B&B and we absolutely loved it! The owners are very sweet and set us up in one of their beautiful rooms. The spa tub was so nice and relaxing. The house inside and out is cozy and beautifully decorated. We were served a wonderful breakfast each morning at the time of our choice. The breakfasts were wonderul we had eggs, frenchtoast and fruit. I couldn't ask for a better place to stay. We will definitely stay again. Hats off to the owners for the wonderful job they do with making their guests feel so welcomed and the house feel like home. We would recommend anyone and everyone to stay here!!!!!!

I have stayed in several B&B over years. This needs alot of improvement. Yard is in need of just to be cleaned up. Pick up trash and plant some grass or flowers. House need attention in the rooms. We stayed in one where my son stub toes on bathroom threshold because there was no threshold between room level transition. The shower/tub was in permanant shower mode because shower lever was rusted open - no bath for young my son. Paper thin walls. We played whats that noise-water pipes: yes, ceiling fan in another guest room: yes, neighbors havng sex: oh my goodness yes. Not nice to hear everything so clearly. Food-well attempt at breafast dish was not well cooked with eggs. Menu or notification what was served would have been nice. Was full house, but no wat to look door. No way to secure out items and caretakers did not stay in house all time. So we have to leave room unlocked. Will we stay again - maybe not or may give another try with new owners.
Réponse du propriétaire
I am sorry that our B&B was not up to your expectations. Since your stay we have worked very hard on the outside and it is a work in progress. Each week we are completing something on our list to make our property shine. This farm house was built in 1921 and we would like to keep its heritage and so we have a wish list that we are working on to make it a pleasant stay for our guest. We do have keys for our rooms and they are available upon request. Every B&B is different and we like to give our guest the freedom of enjoying our home with out us there. We do try to make sure that we tell our guests upon arrival if we will be in and out and where they will find our emergency contact information. If a guest request that we stay we make arrangements to be here during their stay. We encourage our guests to leave feedback so that when they return they will feel at home.
- Donnis (Owner)

My wife and I spent three nights at the Country Heritage B&B in January 2012 after our wedding. It was so relaxing to sleep in next to our fireplace in our bedroom. The whirlpool for two also made our evenings quite romantic. It just so happened that we also had the whole house to ourselves the whole time. So wonderful. Each morning we woke up to a homestyle breakfast for two and was so tasty. Overall, thank you to the staff for such a wonderfully relaxing time.

The setting is a 100yr. Family Farmstead. The farm originally belonged to the owners great grandfather! The "innkeepers" were warm, cordial, and very accommodating to their guest's needs! They typify what a good B&B should provide! Enjoy your stay, but if you have any problems negotiating stairs best to check with the innkeepers before booking

We were recently at the Country Heritage Bed and Breakfast and found it to be all and more than we were led to expect. The rooms were charming, the service first rate and with a genuine smile, the breakfast was wonderful, and the company around the table friendly. We would do it again in a heart beat. The fact that it was 30 minutes from where we needed to be in Shell Rock did not take away from its charm--the ride through the country was restful, too!

Located in the middle of the fields of Iowa, the setting is peaceful and charming. The old farm house has been updated, so it blends old & new styles. We enjoyed the whirlpool tub in our private bathroom, the second story deck, and strolling through the barnyard. The breakfast was simple, hearty, and tasty. The innkeepers have an adorable little daughter, who stole our hearts with her smile and waves. Great location (only a few minutes off of Int. 35) and very reasonable price. We would definitely considering returning on our next trip through the area.

Back from our anniversary stay at your B & B. I would recommend the Pine Room to anyone. Cute decor. Great breakfast. Very friendly hosts and VERY reasonably priced. We also saw friends at Beed's Lake, toured the area, and visited a good winery...Towns End in Hansell. Had a Great diner that night. We have been to dozens of B&Bs. One nice time. You took us in and made us feel like part of the family. Dave you are a great listener and a hit with my wife. It is a small world isn't it?

This is a rush post. I need to read a into it a bit, but I am off on a big trip today...
Should Congress put limits or even completely do away with the tax incentives that make saving within a 401(k) or some other tax-advantaged retirement plan attractive in order to cut the deficit?
The Congressional Joint Committee on Taxation and the Treasury Department's Office of Tax Analysis conclude that these retirement planning programs will cost the federal government about $600 billion in lost revenue over the next five years.
Here's what they suggest instead:
Bipartisan Policy Center Debt Reduction Task Force -- Maintain existing accounts but cap tax-preferred contributions to the lower of $20,000 or 20 percent of income.The American Society of Pension Professionals & Actuaries, or ASPPA, says the government's math is fuzzy because it doesn't accurately figure deferred revenue -- savers eventually take the money out and pay taxes on it. Based on its calculations, the government would only gain about 25 percent more in taxes and the price would be reduced income and security for people living in retirement.
National Commission on Fiscal Responsibility and Reform -- Consolidate the various retirement accounts and cap tax-preferred contributions to the lower of $20,000 or 20 percent of income.
A separate study by the Stanford University Graduate School of Business says that the introduction of 401(k)s has had an enormous impact on how people invest in stocks and bonds. At the end of World War II, individual citizens owned 90 percent of the stock market; by 2006, they owned only 30 percent. The other 70 percent was held by institutions, including mutual funds, insurance companies and pension funds.
Ilya Strebulaev, associate professor of finance and primary author of the study, recommends that tax reformers consider making the tax rate on capital gains equal to the tax rate on equities held in tax-advantaged accounts. Now, of course, the capital gains rate is 15 percent for most people -- less for low-income people, while the rate son equities in tax-advantaged accounts are the same as for ordinary income. This would level the playing field and potentially make it less attractive to hold stocks in a tax-advantaged accounts. He believes that among other things, holding stocks outside of institutional accounts would encourage individual investors to pay more attention to how their money is invested. "Institutional investors are very passive. They delegate their vote. It's not the best social outcome," Strebulaev says.
Strebulaev dismisses the idea of limiting the tax advantages of retirement accounts to increase revenue. "What I think what our research delivers is that all these small twists in taxation are very unlikely to work."

After failing to agree to terms on a new contract, the Blackhawks have chosen to walk away from defenseman Chris Campoli's $2.5 million arbitration award. The 27 year old puck-mover will become an unrestricted free agent, free to sign with any club. However, the Mississauga native has expressed an interest in joining his childhood team, the Maple Leafs.
Much like with the Clarke MacArthur signing for $1.2 million last summer, the Leafs appear to be in prime position to land a capable young player at a potentially reduced salary should they so choose. The problem lies in the current backlog of potentially seven NHL calibre defensemen already cluttering up Toronto's blueline. That's not including Matt Lashoff or top prospect Jake Gardiner, whom GM Brian Burke believes may be ready to see some time with the big club at some point later this year. With that said, it should be noted that through various trades and injuries, the Maple Leafs dressed 10 different names on their blueline in 2010-2011.
It's going to be interesting to see how the Leafs choose to explore this route, as it's not very often you see talented young players become available for only money, and potentially reasonable money at that. Campoli has developed into a fairly well-rounded second pairing defenseman over the past few seasons, playing 18-20 minutes a night, displaying good offensive instincts and mixing in a little sandpaper to his game as well. For anything around the $1.5 million range, I'd take a gamble on a talented young guy who wants to be a Maple Leaf and let the depth issues sort themselves out through injury or trade later on down the road.

What's been your favorite scene to film so far?Read the rest here.
Um…I'd either say, some cool action scene I got to do, because I really do like the action, or I really like the break up scene. We call it "the break up scene" – it's the first time Bella sees Jacob after he's transformed. When she comes to his house, and she sees for the first time that his hair's cut, he's different, what's up…? And he tells her, "We shouldn't be friends." It's a really emotional scene.
Considering how moody Jacob gets in "New Moon" – toying with Bella's emotions – do you feel bad at all?
I don't feel bad one bit; I feel bad for myself! [Laughs] No, when I was reading the books, I felt so bad for Jacob's character. But now that I'm actually living him, I feel way worse. Bella's toying with Jacob! I don't care if she's ripped between the two guys, I feel so bad for Jacob, because she confused him; one moment, she'll want to kiss him, and the next moment, she's ditching him for Edward. I mean, yeah, I understand where Bella's coming from, and it's a crappy situation for all of them. But I feel really bad for Jacob.
A lot of fans are looking forward to the scene in Eclipse where Jacob and Bella finally have the kiss.
Yes. So am I.

Taylor Lautner Shares His Favorite Scene to Film So Far with MSN's TwiSuperfan
8 comments:
I have to agree with Taylor about the way Bella treats Jake. As much as I hate the thought of Bella and Jacob as a pair, I always felt bad for Edward and Jacob. I thought for a suposedly selfless person, she was awfully selfish in Eclipse.ReplyDelete
By the way, LOL, Taylor looks like Spock or a Star Trek employee.
I know!
I can't wait to see this moment either.
I have the picture of them in the truck (the one that was just released) as my desktop wallpaper at work.
I know I'm 32 (almost 33) and probably shouldn't have a clip from a teen movie on my work screen but I just don't care.
love the pic!!!!Love Jake (Taylor)!He will be mine!mwhahaha!ReplyDelete
Jacob never gave her an easy time. He pushed her all the time. I'm kinda annoyed with his view. He doesn't think about Bella and how it must have been for her. She didn't love him enough, so she couldn't be with him. It's hardly a bad thing coming from Bella. And he kissed her first by force and secondly manipulated her to kiss him...she NEVER initiated the kiss...ReplyDelete
He only thinks about his character.
But when they talked with Kris and Rob they talked not only about their characrters but others too and how they influence the story.
Bella treats Jake like a friend and at the same time or sometimes as a toy.Of course Jake makes Bella feel bad ,of herself than she is about when Edward well the Cullens, left Bella.ReplyDelete
and trys to inmate Bella.
This boy need to sign a deal for a major action movie!! His agent needs to contact Arnold ( oh wait he's a governor now) ok Bruce Willis or jason Stratham!!! or even Will Smith - now that would be a good movie WS and TL!! He needs some action!!:)) poor guy gonna bring himself down with these movies- since he gets the short end of the stick or just a 6-8 mos. old girl!!LOLReplyDelete
Hahaha, I love hos he says "Yes. So am I." And thats it hahah!ReplyDelete
Don't like Jacob, and I never will. He was trying to force someone to love him and you can't force that. Yes, she cared about him, loved in but not the way he wanted, and you can't force it. I don't like Jacob!ReplyDelete

I put these tires on my Tundra X-SP Package truck and had no idea until recently (when I began thinking I needed to look at a new set) that I had 75,000 miles on them. I could probably get more, but I need to hit the road for some trips and just don't want to take a chance. Excellent tires as far as I'm concerned!!

IUCN Pakistan organized a National consultative workshop on 'Pakistan Water Programme' in collaboration with Oxfam-Novib at a local hotel in Islamabad. The objective of the consultative workshop was to discuss the key issues Pakistan is facing in terms of depleting water resources.
Dr. Shahid Ahmad facilitated the workshop - a Senior Water Expert on water at IUCN Pakistan, Mr. Javed Jabbar, President, Baanhn Beli, was the Chief Guest at the occasion.
Mr. Mahmood Akhtar Cheema, Country Representative IUCN Pakistan, commenced the event with his welcome remarks and stressed on the importance of water in daily life and cooperation with neighboring countries on the matter.
Mr. Iftikhar Khalid, Associate Country Director Oxfam Novib, shared his concerns regarding water scarcity in the country and that the availability of clean water should be of highest priority.
Mr. Shams-ul-Mulk, President SOPREST, talked about the Indus Water Treaty and its significance in the present times. He also stressed on how institutional architecture of the water sector needs to be revised and that the shortage of water is fast becoming a source of worry not just for Pakistan, but also for the world. He warned that 20 years from now, Pakistan would be in far tougher circumstances if solid steps were not taken to secure its water sources. He said that institutions must have the capacity, procured with proper legal cover to produce positive results. "Water is not oil, it is not gas, it has no substitutes, it cannot be imported, therefore, it is needed to sustain life", he added. Mr. Shams-ul-Mulk also talked about inter-provincial water issues. He shared that 70% of water is allocated to Sindh, 20% to Punjab 6% Balochistan and 4% to Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. However, Pakistan's water discords are not only provincial but also regional.
Dr. Amir Mohammad Rector, National University of Computer and Emerging Sciences, Islamabad (FAST-NU) talked about how the issue of water should be taken up more seriously by institutions and individuals. "Water zones should be marked according to the cropping patterns and in terms of maximum underground water availability and classified according to water efficiency", he stressed.
Mr. Javed Malik, Member Food & Agriculture, Planning Commission of Pakistan, talked about how controlling population patterns and migration can aid water resource management.
Dr. Shahid Ahmed, described the Pakistan Water Programme as a humble and modest effort of IUCN and Oxfam Novib. Talking about using water sustainably, he said, "There is no such thing as wastage of water as all water should utilized". He also talked about the political obstacles in terms of power and royalty and how Pakistan has lost 30 years of development. He said that no solution is possible without strong provincial consensus".
A moderated discussion amongst all participants followed the presentations, made by the experts. Majority of the participants agreed that clean drinking water is vital for the population of Pakistan to the extent of livelihoods being affected. Representatives of Balochistan voiced their concerns, citing the instances where people and animals are drinking the same quality of water owing to the shortage of clean drinking water. The need for reservoirs was also stressed upon, pointing to the glaring 10% water storage in Pakistan. During the workshop, a draft, "Pakistan Water Programme 2013-2020" was presented for feedback from water and environment experts in the public sector, NGOs and the donor agencies.
Chief Guest Mr. Javed Jabbar President, Baanhn Beli, in his closing remarks appreciated IUCN Pakistan's efforts over the years and brought the day's proceedings to a close, agreeing that the issue of water is more serious than ever, and needs to be taken up as a top priority by the governing bodies.
Through the formulation of a collaborative 'Pakistan Water Programme IUCN/Oxfam Novib have taken a strategic action. The Programme will focus on all provinces, to address priority issues in the context of population growth, expected impacts of climate change, emphasis on linkages with livelihoods and ecosystem health. The concepts of integrated river basin management and participatory approaches will be translated into actions and good practices.
The deliberations of the provincial consultative workshop and this national consultative workshop will be will be used to develop a robust and strategic Water Programme for Pakistan between 2013 to 2020.

These things should be easily downloadable by anyone, I don't understand why they are not. If anyone has access to either of these manuals or a parts breakdown, please let me know - I don't see them linked on the site.
In any case, if you (the repair technician who has seen it all) were buying a new front loader, which of the two would you select?
Heh - furthermore, I thought my initial post on this question was deleted
I've been into more samsungs, but am just now getting parts available for the lg products. Both are shiny and new. They seem quite similar, in fact some parts are interchangeable. Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk
