It's perfectly understandable, from a tactical perspective, why U.S. Sen. Mitch McConnell and Kentucky Secretary of State Alison Lundergan Grimes are being very cagey about meeting in a moderated, face-to- face debate on neutral ground.
Why risk an unscripted confrontation when, with the money they've raised, they can produce thoroughly researched, finely crafted, carefully directed messages extolling their virtues and trashing their opponent?
Understandable but inexcusable.
Voters deserve to see these two formidable candidates answer unscripted questions, debate policy and challenge each other.
They have at least two opportunities to do just that.
Centre College, which has hosted two vice presidential debates, has invited Grimes and McConnell to meet there Sept. 3 in a forum co-hosted by AARP that would be moderated by two anchors from WAVE-TV in Louisville.
The League of Women Voters, which hosts dozens of debates in local races each year, has also invited the candidates to debate.
So far, neither Grimes nor McConnell has committed to either forum.
Grimes has accepted Kentucky Educational Television's invitation to participate in a candidate forum on Kentucky Tonight, hosted by Bill Goodman. McConnell has not.
McConnell has agreed to debate in theory but with many conditions: no audience, no questioners other than the candidates and finish before Labor Day, Sept. 1.
Without neutral questioners, the candidates will just be acting out versions of their tightly scripted media campaigns.
If they finish before Labor Day, voters would face another two months of relentless media messaging before the election to offset any unscripted impressions.
Relentless it will be.
Campaign finance reports this week revealed that McConnell and Grimes have already raised, collectively, more than $36 million.
Predictions are that total spending by candidates and outside groups may top $100 million, making this possibly the most expensive race ever for the U.S. Senate.
Money is important in politics, that's reality.
But the only way Grimes and McConnell can prove that it's not the only thing that's important is to accept the debates offered by Centre and the League.

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump and black Democratic lawmakers don't agree on much, but they do agree that FEMA needs to fund houses of worship that assist hurricane victims of hurricanes Harvey and Irma.
As the waters slowly recede from Houston and parts of Florida from the two deadly storms, the president and some members of the Congressional Black Caucus are aggressively diving into the murky waters of separation of church and state issues.
They separately argue that Federal Emergency Management Agency should make relief funds available to houses of worship, especially if those institutions are involved in helping victims of disasters.
"They give churches so much red tape to go through to get public benefits," Cedric Richmond, D-La., black caucus chairman, said of FEMA.
Houses of worship can get financial disaster assistance if their facilities are primarily used for "educational, utility, emergency, medical … custodial or essential services of a governmental nature," according to FEMA guidelines.
Trump jumped into the church-state debate Friday when he tweeted that three small Texas churches that were damaged by Hurricane Harvey should be entitled to FEMA assistance to help rebuild. The churches filed a lawsuit in federal District Court against FEMA seeking help.
FEMA officials were not made available for comment Wednesday.
Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee, D-Texas, who represents Houston, said black lawmakers "will be right here to work with the White House" on behalf of houses of worship.
That's not likely to happen soon. Relations have been tense between Trump and the black caucus. The caucus met with the president in January, but has had no meetings since.
The group rejected an invitation for a caucus meeting with the president in June, questioning Trump's sincerity about helping black Americans.
Now, though, he and other black caucus members are making arguments that Trump is also offering. Caucus members said FEMA's criteria for houses of worship is short-sighted, noting that religious facilities are often pressed into service during disasters to house and feed victims or even to serve as FEMA staging areas.
One of the churches in the Texas lawsuit, the Hi-Way Tabernacle, became a FEMA staging area, sheltered 70 people and sent out more than 8,000 emergency meals, the Washington Post reported.
In his tweet Friday, Trump wrote: "Churches in Texas should be entitled to reimbursement from FEMA Relief Funds for helping victims of Hurricane Harvey (just like others)."

Supply Chain Group
Further Development - Supply Chain Group
The Council will also develop a theme to improve viability of, and delivery by, the supply chain and ensuring continuity of supply and opportunities for SMEs.
Further Development Theme Objectives
A viable and outward looking supply chain is essential and provides a wide and diverse range of goods and services. It is a primary source of innovation and employment that is geographically and technically diverse. Much like the automotive industry the supply chain of small and medium enterprises (SMEs) for the maritime sector is a multiplier in terms of employment and growth. It employs several times those directly employed
by the major companies who deliver the medium to large capital projects.
The supply chain is extremely diverse ranging from the artisan small boat builder, through bespoke, complex and technically challenging equipment manufacturers, to large capital projects such as ports, ships and offshore installations for wave, wind and tidal power. It also includes the intellectual capital embodied in design, classification and regulation.
The base is so wide and extensive it has proved difficult to articulate its importance in terms of shape, size and contribution to GDP and exports. This needs to be more clearly communicated to local and national policy makers and to the public at large in order to provide growth opportunities.
The lack of a coherent voice severely limits the ability of the sector to influence maritime policy such as legislation, competition policy, and regulation, and to attract funding at the European and national levels. With this background the Council will form a working group to work with trade associations and key suppliers to input on how growth opportunities can be improved.

When the Jewish new year arrives Sunday evening, Betsy Cohen, mother of four, home baker and blogger, will look ahead at its shiny possibilities.
But only after she first looks back.
"To me, the New Year is about retrospection. It's a time for reflection about where I'm at, where my family is at. It's a more inward time than the January 1 New Year," says Cohen, at her Palm Beach Gardens home one afternoon last week.
She stands amid the heady aromas rising from her oven, where one of her favorite apple confections bakes to a golden finish in a large springform pan. This is her cookie-baked apple pie, a dessert that's as much of a cake as it is a pie as it is a giant filled butter cookie. It's a double-crusted beauty filled with chunks of fresh Golden Delicious apples.
Cohen has no fewer than 54 photos of this cake/pie/cookie and its assembly process on DessertsRequired.com, the blog she started about 10 months ago from her fragrant kitchen.

It's comfort dishes like this, tried and true and delicious, that best reflect the way she loves to celebrate Rosh Hashanah.
This time of the year brings back vivid memories of her Cleveland childhood and Sunday school lessons about the holiday's cherished symbols.
"I remember we'd cut up apples and dip them into honey. Seeing the bright red apples dipped into the golden color of the honey is an image that's always stayed with me," says Cohen, who moved to Palm Beach County 29 years ago.
This year, as most, she'll host the break-fast meal after Yom Kippur, putting out a spread that will likely include "overnight" French toast and that buttery apple cookie-pie.
For New Year's dinner, she and family will join friends for traditional favorites. She's a big fan of exotic chicken dishes, like the sweet-savory Chicken Marbella recipe (with prunes, olives and a hint of oregano) from one of her favorite Silver Palate cookbooks, or Ina Garten's cheesy spinach gratin, or the creamy cauliflower custard she found in a 1957 cookbook.
There are so many recipes to consider now, at year's end. What the final menus will look like depend on the kitchen muses. But one thing will remain the same: the soulful moment when all are asked to recall their favorite Rosh Hashanah memory.
"Whether they're young or 90 years old, they each have something special to say," says Cohen, whose family worships at Beth David, a Conservative synagogue in Palm Beach Gardens.
The blogger looks ahead to a delicious year of baking. With her two older sons – Joshua, 21, and Nathaniel, 20 – in college, she'll share her kitchen with 17-year-old daughter Shoshana, who bakes yummy cupcakes and "makes the best omelets I've ever tasted," and 6-year-old son Samuel.
As for her fifth child, the blog, it has grown into a repository of baking snapshots, family stories and, of course, recipes. And with every computer tip from her daughter and tidbit from friends and family, the blog has prepared her beautifully for the New Year.
"A year ago, I didn't even know what a blog was. When I asked about it, it sounded like something I might want to try. So I did," says Cohen, who worked with a web designer in Israel to get the blog up and running. "I do post a lot of baking photos. I found it's not so hard to do. And I love it."
Recipe adapted from Nick Malgieri's Perfect Pastry: Create Fantastic Desserts by Mastering the Basic Techniques.
Prep time: 35 minutes
Cook time: 1 hour 10 minutes
Serves: 10 to 12
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
5 golden delicious apples
1/2 cup sugar
Juice of ¼ of a lemon
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
16 tablespoons (2 sticks) unsalted butter
3/4 cup sugar
4 egg yolks
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2½ cups plus 2 tablespoons all purpose flour
1 egg yolk, beaten
1. You will need one 10" springform pan plus the bottom of a second 10" springform pan or a 10" cake round (that will be used to shape and transfer the top crust.)
2. Butter the 10" springform pan. Line the bottom with parchment paper and butter the paper. Set aside.
3. For the filling:
4. Melt the butter in a large sauté pan. Peel and core the apples and slice in large wedges (there will be 8 wedges per apple). Sauté the apples, sugar, lemon juice and cinnamon over medium heat, covered, for 10 minutes, stirring periodically. Uncover and continue to cook the apples until they are soft and the juices in the pan have evaporated. Cool completely.
5. Preheat the oven to 350°. Adjust the rack to the lowest level.
For the crust:
1. Cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Scrape down the bowl once. Add the egg yolks and beat until well blended. Mix in the vanilla. Add 2½ cups flour and mix on low speed until all of the flour is mixed in. Do not overbeat.
2. Take one half of the dough and form a large disk (about 8" in diameter). Place this in the bottom of the parchment-lined springform pan. Push the dough evenly in the pan so that it covers the bottom and goes up the side 1¼ ".
3. Your hands will be buttery at this point. Wipe one of your hands over the bottom of the extra springform bottom then dust 2 tablespoons of flour over it. The grease from the butter will keep the flour where you need it.
4. Take the second half of the dough and form a disk almost the size of the springform bottom. Place it on the springform bottom and push it evenly out to the edge. Set aside.
5. Spoon the filling onto the bottom crust and spread evenly around.
6. Using a large metal spatula to guide the dough, transfer the top half of the dough onto the cake. It will slide off so be sure to do this over the cake and move your arm back so that the crust can be placed evenly on the cake. Pinch the sides down so that the seam is sealed.
7. Brush the top of the cake with the egg yolk. You may take a fork and score it if you like (like a plaid look). Place the springform on a piece of aluminum foil and bake on the lowest rack of the oven at 350° for 50 minutes. Check to be sure that the top is not getting too dark. If it is, cover lightly with a piece of aluminum foil. Remove after 50 minutes and cool on a cooling rack.
To serve: Once you have unlatched the springform pan, take a small metal spatula and put it between the cake and the side of the pan to make sure that none of the cake sticks. Release the side completely. To remove the bottom of the springform, cover a 10" cardboard round with plastic wrap. Place this over the top of the cake and gently turn it over. Take off the bottom of the pan and remove the piece of parchment paper. Turn back onto a cakeboard round or serving plate.
Betsy Cohen's kitchen notes:
"This pie is incredible warmed with or without ice cream, which is why I prefer to place the Cookie Baked Apple Pie on a cakeboard round vs. serving plate. When I make this early in the day and want to serve it warm for dessert, I place the cardboard round in the oven I have used to cook dinner once the oven is turned off. Five to ten minutes later, I have a warm, delicious cake for my family and friends. As many serving plates are not meant for the oven, the cardboard round is the best option. Once the Cookie Baked Apple Pie comes out of the warmed oven, I place the cardboard round onto a serving plate.
"The apple filling may be made a day ahead and refrigerated overnight. Cool before transferring the filling to a bowl and then place plastic wrap directly on top of the filling to prevent moisture from setting in.
"The pie freezes beautifully."

Surfer Magazine Uses Post-Consumer Recycled Paper
Vanity Fair and Elle couldn't quite get it together to use a goodly content of recycled fibre for their special Green issues, but it seems that Surfer Magazine has managed to come up with the goods for their latest volume. "By using recycled paper in each issue, every year we´ll save over 4,400 trees from being cut down and more than 13 garbage trucks of solid waste from heading to the landfills," Publisher Rick Irons said. "Our readers are passionate and dependant on the environment, and doing our part to amplify this sentiment is as important to us as it is to them." Apparently the energy saved by the move is enough to power 29 homes for a year. Of course it helps that Patagonia chipped in to sponsor the higher cost of recycled paper. And while it will be only 25% post-consumer recycled content, it's sure better than nought. (While over at the site you might want to read the latest newsletter of the Surfrider Foundation.) ::Surfer Magazine via Waste News.NB: many, many moons ago we wrote about the UK based Surfers Path mag paddling out in this direction. Pleased to see another finally catch the wave.

Fort Wayne Farm Show offers educational sessions, trade show
December 18, 2013
WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. - Farmers, agribusinesses professionals and agricultural youth can learn from Purdue Extension experts on Jan. 14-16 during the 2014 Fort Wayne Farm Show.
The free event, which features a trade show and educational sessions, will be at the Allen County War Memorial Coliseum, 4000 Parnell Ave., Fort Wayne, Ind. The facility charges $5 for parking.
Celebrating its 25th anniversary, the show will be open to the public from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Jan. 14, 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. Jan. 15 and 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Jan. 16.

Having some educational seminars adds to the overall value of the show," said Steve Engleking, an event organizer and LaGrange County Extension educator. "It's a win-win for all. We pull some folks into the show, and we pull in people ready to take a break from walking around."

Social media has become like another person sitting at the dinner table. It's everywhere, and if you aren't on a platform, people look at you funny. Would you disagree? It's fascinating. Maybe you've underestimated social media, maybe you're active daily. I've been thinking about the great possibilities social media can bring, so I encourage you to get the most out of it that you can.
Some of these might be obvious, and that's fine, let them refresh your social media perspective. If these are new challenges, maybe give them a second look.
Content Matters. Greatly. Be sure your content is relevant to you, but also engaging and interactive. Social media is a great vehicle for sharing content you've already written. It helps gain exposure, which is often the desired goal. It also has the power to keep content alive even after it isn't the newest on the block. Write quality, share quality.

In the previous Poruma Neelpadai thiruvaimozhi, Azhwar enjoyed the easy accessibility, greatness, and the captivating form of Thirukkurungudi Nambi in the pasuram maNiyai vAnavar (மணியை வானவர் கண்ணனைத் தன்னதோரணியை). When just one of these auspicious attributes of the Lord was sufficient to draw Azhwar towards Him, Azhwar enjoyed a generous supply of all the three attributes together in Thirukkurungudi Nambi. Unsurprisingly, Azhwar found Emperuman's charm irresistible and grew desirous of a physical union with Him. However, since he could not achieve this union in Nambi's archAvathara, Azhwar, like a forlorn lover, turned despondent and started experiencing fits of pain at her predicament.
Azhwar, thus, assumes the role of Parankusa Nayaki and moves into a garden beside the seashore to bemoan her separation. Although Azhwar experienced a similar separation from the Lord in Amchiraya Mada Narai (1-4) thiruvaimozhi, he was able to send emissaries in the form of birds to convey his message of separation. Here, Azhwar does not find anyone to carry his message to the Lord. Also, in the Amchiraya padhigam, Azhwar bemoaned his inability to lock himself in divine embrace with the Lord in His vibhava avathAra. This could, if any, be of some solace to Azhwar as his birth post-dates the occurrence of emperuman's vibhava avatara. However, in this Vayum Thirai padhigam, Azhwar can't find a reason for comfort as Thirukkurungudi Nambi, who is supposed to be easily accessible in His archAvatara, is not available for a physical union.
அவதாரத்திலே அனுபவிக்கக் கோலிப் பெறாததாகையாலே, "அது ஒருகாலத்திலே, நாம் பிற்பாடராகை" என்று ஆறலாம்; இது அங்ஙனன்றிக்கே, உகந்தருளின நிலத்திலே அனுபவிக்க ஆசைப்பட்டுப் பெறாமையாலே வந்த ஆற்றாமையாலே இது கனத்திருக்கும்
This padhigam, thus, brings out the Lord's quality of making his devotees go mad with God- Love. This madness is so acute that the same stork, which Parankusa Nayaki had commissioned earlier to carry her message, now appears to her as a fellow damsel-in-distress. Though the natural colour of the stork is white, she opines that the decolouration has occurred as a result of the stork's separation from the Divine Lord. Similarly, she attributes the crying of Anril birds along with other naturally-occurring events around her to their separation from the Supreme Lord, thereby deriving solace from the fact that the objects and beings around her share her dejection.
எம்பெருமானோடே கலந்து பிரிந்து ஆற்றாமையினால் நோவுபடுகிறாள் ஒரு பிராட்டி, ஆற்றாமை கைகொடுக்க லிலோத்யாநத்திலே புறப்பட்டு, அங்கே வர்த்திக்கிற பதார்த்தங்களைக் கண்டு, அவையுமெல்லாம் பகவதலாபத்தாலே நோவுபடுகிறனவாகக் கொண்டு…
At this juncture, Nampillai makes an interesting observation in his commentary to account for the acuteness in Azhwar's separation. In the case of Amchiraya padhigam, Azhwar was exposed to Emperuman's Paratvam (Supremacy), Bhajaneeyatvam (Easy Worshippability) and Saulabhyam (Easy Accessibility) in the preceding thiruvaimozhis. However, in the case of Vayum Thirai, the acuteness is justified as Azhwar has since then experienced several other auspicious qualities of the Lord from Valavezh Ulagu to Poruma Neelpadai padhigams.
Nampillai further makes a comparison between Lakshmana and Parankusa Nayaki to drive home the acuteness of Azhwar's separation. When Lakshmana pleaded that he be allowed to accompany Sri Rama in his exile, he cited the example of a fish failing to survive without water. That is, Sri Rama was unto Lakshmana what water is unto fish. However, Parankusa Nayaki goes one step further in claiming that the fish, water and all things depend on the Lord and cannot brook separation from Him. Thus, driven by her God-love madness, Parankusa Nayaki ends up commiserating with all living and non-living things around her.

Harry S. Truman Quotes About PurposeQuotes about: Purpose
Divine Providence has played a great part in our history. I have the feeling that God has created us and brought us to our present position of power and strength for some great purpose. It is not given to us to know fully what that purpose is, but I think we may be sure of one thing, and that is that our country is intended to do all it can, in cooperating with other nations to help created peace and preserve peace in the world. It is given to defend the spiritual values-the moral code-against the vast forces of evil that seek to destroy them.
We must never forget that this coutry was founded by men who came to these shores to worship God as they pleased. Catholics, Jews, and Protestants, all came here for this great purpose. They did not come here to do as they pleased - but to worship God as they pleased, and that is an important distinction.
We must earn the peace we seek just as we earned victory in the war, not by wishful thinking but by realistic effort. At no time in our history has unity among our people been so vital as it is at the present time. Unity of purpose, unity of effort, and unity of spirit are essential to accomplish the task before us.

This is a no fuss rice pudding that tastes great - without the constant stirring or burnt milk. You can add dried fruit, and you can lower the fat by using semi or fully skimmed milk.
What a mess this made of my slow cooker. It was a hash up from start to finish. It didnt even resemble rice pudding, has some liquid been left off the ingredients list??? - 30 Nov 2008 (Review from Allrecipes UK | Ireland)
Needs sugar! I added 3 tablespoons raw sugar and used milk instead of evaporated milk....also added an extra cup of milk in the last half hour. On high it took 2 1/2 hrs. Good result with tweaks. - 21 Jul 2009 (Review from Allrecipes AU | NZ)
it was very bland and you could really taste the salt even after adding 2 desert spoons of sugar. quite dissapointing. added a squeeze of golden syrup and that finally cancelled out the salt taste. - 03 Jan 2012 (Review from Allrecipes UK | Ireland)

A retiring farmer in preparation for selling his land, needed to rid his farm of animals. So he went to every house in his town. To the houses where the man is the boss, he gave a horse. To the houses where the woman is the boss, a chicken was given. He got toward the end of the street and saw a couple outside gardening. "Who's the boss around here?" he asked." I am." said the man." I have a black horse and a brown horse," the farmer said, "which one would you like?" The man thought for a minute and said, "The black one." "No, no, no, get the brown one." the man's wife said."

One night, at the lodge of a hunting club, two new members were being introduced to other members and shown around. The man leading them around said, "See that old man asleep in the chair by the fire- place? He is our oldest member and can tell you some hunting stories you'll never forget." They awakened the old man and asked him to tell them a hunting story. "Well," he began, "I remember back in '44', we went on a lion hunting expedition in Africa. We were on foot and hunted for three days without seeing a thing. On the fourth day, I was so tired I had to rest. I found a fallen tree, so I laid my gun down, propped my head on the tree, and fell asleep. I don't know how long I was asleep when I was awakened by a noise in the bushes. I was reaching for my gun when the biggest lion I ever seen jumped out of the bushes at me like this, 'ROOOAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!......' I tell you, I just shit my pants." The young men looked astonished and one of them said, "I don't blame you, I would have shit my pants too if a lion jumped out at me." The old man shook his head and said, "No, no, not then, just now when I said 'ROOOAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!' "-17+

The Laser Hair Comb - For Reversing Your Hair Loss
A Breakthrough in Hair Loss Control, Hair Retention and Rejuvenation
Principle of Hair Growth:
Low Level Impulse Laser Phototherapy works by increasing adenosine triphosphate, (ATP) (a nucleic acid) it also increase blood flow to the capillaries of the hair root, dermis, epidermis and subcutaneous tissue allowing for the delivery of more nutrients to the living cells that create the hair shaft. The increase in blood flow is between 20-30% in the frontal area and 40-60% calvarias and occipital areas.
The increased blood flow also carries away more waste products and detoxifies the dermis, epidermis and subcutaneous layers of the scalp, resulting in the diminishing effects of dht (dyhydra-testoterone) on the miniaturization process of the hair follicles.
With the addition of the Infusion Massage comb to further stimulate the scalp and tissue and increase the absorbency of the dht Blocker the hair follicles and fully enhance the effect of hair growth.

If Armenia ever decided to adapt "A West Side Story," it's conceivable that "I Like to Be in America" might well be changed into "I Like to Be in Russia" to describe the choices faced by thousands of Armenian migrants each year.
But those choices are slightly less tempting now. A controversial Russian state program that grants jobs and citizenship to foreign nationals from former Soviet republics has stopped accepting applications from Armenians, Armenian news sources report.
Grappling with the double whammy of a low birthrate and a population exodus, Yerevan repeatedly has urged Moscow to stop the program, called Compatriots, which Armenian officials say has become a floodgate for emigration.
"We have a serious demographic problem in Armenia… and the organized outflow of the population is a blow to our national interests," Armenian Prime Minister Tigran Sarkisian said of the program last month.
According to official numbers, some 26,000 Armenians have applied for the program since its start in 2007; 2,500 have actually left for Russia.
Moscow reported recently that, all told, some 30,000 "compatriots" have moved to Russia since the program's launch in 2006. The numbers are way short of the annual 300,000 settlers that Russian President Vladimir Putin expected, but the fact that more than eight percent of the inflow came from Armenia was enough to unsettle Yerevan.
Before, Russian officials shrugged off Armenian concerns. "We are not dragging Armenians to Russia by force,"said Russian Ambassador to Armenia Vyacheslav Kovalenko. "The reasons for them leaving are elsewhere."
As may well be the reasons for stopping the acceptance of Armenian applications for the program. No official reasons could be found in Russian-language sources.
Given Moscow's past indifference to Armenian officials' complaints, sourly noted the opposition-minded daily Haykakan Zhamanak, the suspension of the program in Armenia might well prove to be only "temporary."

Instead of fighting "The Great" we'll instead see Kaewfah battle Andrew Wallace (10-5-1, 6), a 37 year old who has lost 5 of his last 6 bouts.
Sadly for Kaewfah it appears that he has gone from getting a chance to alert fans to his his name to merely getting another fight against a non-descript opponent who will do very little for the profile of the 29 year old Thai. Thankfully for Katsidis however it will save him from taking more shots to the head, and may well help push him into a happy retirement, rather than continue on a career that should really have ended a while back.
Whilst Katsidis is off the card we do still have the show's other main bout, a 12 round Super Bantamweight contest between Chinese star Qiu Xiao Jun and Diarh Gabutan, with Jun risking his lofty WBC ranking and the WBC Silver title against Gabutan.

that could've been my baby
If you're in the mood for something light...maybe skip this. I'm going to talk about adoption (finally, yet not as personally as I'd planned) Planned Parenthood, and abortion. To ease you into it, here is a clip from one of my favorite shows ever, Juno. I hope that our birth mother is just like her.
I've wanted some things in my life. I've experienced pain in my life. But no feeling has ever been equal to my desire for children and the pain that comes from not being able to create one and all that comes with that. I find myself mesmerized with children; loving every single one I see, imagining the day I finally meet mine. I have a love so intense it is indescribable for someone who might not even exist yet! I've never been so passionate about anything in my entire life. And I am a passionate person. Sometimes I feel on the verge of combustion. Adoption is my saving grace. It is the only thing that keeps me sane, gives me hope. Adoption is without a doubt a miraculous thing. I cannot imagine the pain that my birth mother went through in placing me for adoption. Adoption is a selfless act. I think that when you get pregnant, you turn into someone else...someone who only cares about your baby and not yourself...someone selfless.
In 2009 Planned Parenthood performed 332,278 abortions and 977 adoption referrals. That means over 340 babies were killed for every one placed for adoption. 332, 278 babies were killed. Only 977 were given a chance at a life. Only 977 women like me were lucky.
Planned Parenthood does good things too. They offer birth control, they teach about safe sex, they offer health clinics, they help people who cannot afford alternative health care. But, they cover up sex trafficking and murder babies too. People need to quit worrying about gay marriage and start worrying about an essential genocide. This is the US and we have freedoms. I support that. But we are not free to commit crimes without punishment and I believe abortion is a crime. Our tax money, especially MY tax money, should NOT support criminal activity and I fully support the withdrawal of federal funding.
I am pro-life. I believe that life starts at conception and that abortion is murder. I support the laws that charge criminals for a double homicide if the woman is pregnant, or murder if a fetus is aborted as a result of a crime. In high school we studied the pro-choice view for a week and pro-life view for a week. We watched an ultrasound of a baby being aborted. It was so horrific that I will never be able to erase it from my mind. The baby actually cringed away from the hook. (In some methods of abortion, a hook is used to cut up the fetus, then it is vacuumed out.) What is the difference between a woman throwing her newly-delivered baby into a dumpster? A number of months? I think the term "pro-choice" is ridiculous. What about the baby's choice? The father's choice? If you "choose" to murder someone does that make it okay somehow? It was the woman's choice to have sex. Choices. Have. Consequences.
Abortion is an ugly thing that takes the consequences away from responsible sex...from responsible parenting, from responsible living! Unplanned pregnancy is never a good thing and I like their name, Planned Parenthood. But unplanned parenthood should have consequences (more than the emotional consequences that come from murder...you want me to feel sorry for you because you are experiencing emotional pain from your abortion? Go away before I drop kick you.) You created something you were not ready for. Two wrongs never make a right. Placing that baby for adoption, or taking on the responsibility yourself and learning to be a good parent is the correct and moral choice.
The LDS church is pro-life, but there are exceptions when it comes to victims of rape. I can understand that situation but I do not agree with it. Rape is an ugly, horrible, disgusting thing and it is my very worst fear, but I stand by my words: two wrongs do not make a right. Adoption is the answer.
I do not support unfit parents having children and neglecting them. That's why adoption is the answer. Millions of women like me are desperate to have children and the only way that can be possible is through someone else. In 2009 alone 332,278 broken hearts could have been healed. 332, 278 babies could have been loved with a love so fierce they would never be able to question it. Instead they were cut into pieces and thrown away. Instead, 332, 278 men and women are waiting for someone else to make the right choice. And every second of waiting is like a hook to the heart.

I agree with you fully. My best friend in high school was faced with an unplanned pregnancy. She decided to carry the baby and adopt her to a family. I remember hearing about how she suffered with intense physical pain for separating herself from her baby. She is the epitome of selflessness. Now the little girl is chubby, happy and making her adopted parents the happiest couple on earth, or so my friend tells me :)

I'm proud of you doll. Great post!
332,278 is just the numbers from Planned Parenthood. There are over a million abortions a year and over 46 MILLION that have been performed since Roe Vs Wade in 1973. One study showed that out of a 1000 women with reproductive health, 65 has had an abortion and of that 65, 52 of them were from a minority race. In fact according to the Fordham Urban Law Journal over 94% of abortion clinics are located in urban areas where minorities make up that majority of the surrounding population. I think that John Piper, a white pastor explains this disparity best when he said:
"The de facto effect (I don't call it the main cause, but net effect) of putting abortion clinics in the urban centers is that the abortion of Hispanic and Black babies is more than double their percentage of the population. Every day 1,300 black babies are killed in America. 700 Hispanic babies die every day from abortion. Call this what you will but when the slaughter has an ethnic face, and the percentages are double that of the white community, AND the killers (abortion clinics) are almost all white, something is going on here that ought to make the lovers of racial equality and racial harmony wake up. -John Piper..
Yet our President is busy saying "I've got two daughters, nine years old and six years old. I am going to teach them first of all about values and morals. But if they make a mistake, I don't want them punished with a baby." -Obama
It's evil... end of story

|International Criminal Court Bill [Lords]
Mr. David Lammy (Tottenham): The hon. Gentleman uses the words ``unwilling or unable'', but amendment No. 38 states that
Mr. Blunt: The hon. Gentleman leads me on to the next part of the amendment. The Home Secretary might appeal for jurisdiction, lose that appeal and the ICC could then insist on its right to try a British subject. The ICC would have judged that the United Kingdom was ``unwilling or unable genuinely'' to put a person on trial. We could not complain about that judgment, which would be valid, and I do not seek to undermine the rights of the ICC; we would be bound by the terms of the statute if we ratify it. However, if that happens, the United Kingdom, as a signatory to a statute that includes the principle of complementarity, would operate the system of enforcing its laws, and may find itself in dispute with the ICC over why that court had seen it necessary to bring that British subject to justice over and above the prosecuting authorities of the United Kingdom.
Mr. Lammy: With respect, nothing in the amendment says ``unable or unwilling''. The amendment clearly states that we should challenge the jurisdiction of the ICC.
Mr. Browne: In all circumstances.
Mr. Lammy: Yes, in all circumstances. Where are the words ``unwilling or unable''?
Mr. Blunt: That is the point. What is the first duty of the United Kingdom Government? It is to the security of its citizens. The United Kingdom will have come to the conclusion that that British subject should not have been put on trial, or will have acquitted him after putting him on trial, whereas the ICC will have reached the conclusion that that trial was a farce and was designed to protect that citizen, or that he should have been put on trial in the first place.
Mr. Tony Worthington (Clydebank and Milngavie): It seems to me that this is a wrecking amendment because there could not be an international treaty that gave Britain rights of jurisdiction that were not given to other countries. If one is willing to allow Britain to act in the way that the hon. Gentleman suggests, one has to allow the same rights to the Government of Rwanda, to Milosevic, to Saddam Hussein and so on. Could the hon. Gentleman confirm that the amendment is not a probing one, but one that he wishes to press, which would utterly undermine any ICC?
11 am
Mr. Blunt: That is wholly incorrect, and reflects a complete misappreciation of the amendment. The hon. Gentleman is quite right that it would be a wrecking amendment if it were designed to change the terms of the statute or of the international agreement that the UK has made. However, it does nothing of the kind. It would apply only if a warrant came from the ICC to arrest a British subject in the UK who, under the statute's principles of complementarity, should have been tried in the UK for the crimes for which the ICC had indicted him, but had not been, and the ICC had concluded, under article 17, that it should hear the case because the UK was
Mr. Gapes: I know that I am speaking a lot, but the matter is very interesting. What would happen while the individual against whom the ICC wished to take action was in this country? Does the hon. Gentleman assume that the person would sit quietly and wait for the outcome of the Committee of Inquiry, or would they perhaps get on a plane to somewhere else and try to escape jurisdiction?
Mr. Blunt: It would be for the Home Secretary to decide whether such a person was going to abscond from justice. That is a judgment that the authorities would have to make, on the basis of the individual case. The person would be unlikely to abscond from the UK if the UK were saying that they should not be put on trial before the ICC because the UK had investigated the matter and did not think that a prosecution should be brought, or because the person had been tried and acquitted here. Those are the circumstances that my amendment anticipates.
Mr. Browne: The hon. Gentleman has been very generous at giving way in this interesting debate. We can debate the practicalities, but the principles are more interesting. In its totality, the amendment says that if the ICC disagrees with our decision not to exercise jurisdiction, and seeks to exercise jurisdiction itself, we must automatically challenge that, in certain circumstances, for our citizens. It says that if we lose that argument, we must have a parliamentary inquiry. If that inquiry supports our chauvinistic view of the position, we must withdraw under article 127.
The test of the intellectual coherence of that argument, and of the hon. Gentleman's commitment to the international convention and to supporting the ICC, is whether he would give that right to every other signatory. If we are to have it, then everybody else must have it. That would mean that every time another Government who have signed up disagree with the ICC, they must test it to destruction and then withdraw. The amendment destroys the whole convention. It is a wrecking amendment, designed to wreck not only the Bill but the treaty.
Mr. Blunt: It is absolutely not a wrecking amendment. I implore the hon. Gentleman to look at its language. It is simply a flag. Every other country is entitled to take the same position, because every other country has a sovereign Government. Their Governments and Parliaments can take whatever action they see fit. The amendment would simply mean that if we have explored all avenues for appeal and jurisdiction under the ICC and article 19 and we have lost, the establishment by Parliament of a Committee of Inquiry would be triggered to discover how that position has come about.
Mr. Battle: A couple of minutes ago, the hon. Gentleman commentedif I heard him rightlythat it is open to all countries to take such a course of action, and that he would expect them all to pass a similar amendment if they were even considering signing up to the ICC. Can he not understand that that would massively undermine the whole principle of building an international institutionwhich is what we are about herebecause it would give everyone the ultimate opt-out clause, and no one would sign it?
Mr. Blunt: No, it does nothing of the kind. The amendment applies only if we find ourselves, as a country, in dispute with the ICC. We are responsible citizens and a responsible Parliament, of a country with a proud record of its role in the world and its international duties. If the UKa permanent member of the United Nations Security Councilwere to be in dispute with an organisation that was seeking to bring to justice subjects whom we were not prepared, under the terms of articles 5, 6, 7 and 8, to bring to justice in this country, there would be a problem. In such circumstances, the amendment would simply ask Parliament to establish a Committee of Inquiry to investigate what has gone wrong. Why is the UK in dispute with the ICC? Why has the ICC decided that it must bring a British subject to justice because the British authorities are not prepared to do so?
There could be two explanations for that, but the first is that the UK might be acting unreasonably. For example, its Government and prosecuting authorities might be unprepared to bring to justice the Prime Minister or the commander of British troops on an overseas operation accused of war crimes. The Committee of Inquiry of both Houses of Parliament would have to consider whether that was, to use the term that the hon. Member for Kilmarnock and Loudoun (Mr. Browne) mentioned, a chauvinistic standpoint. Its only power would be to come to a conclusion about whether the ICC's behaviour was reasonable. It is a test of reasonableness. If, in its judgment, the ICC had been unreasonable, a Joint Committee of both Houses would ``request'' the Governmentnot injunct the Government
Mrs. Louise Ellman (Liverpool, Riverside): Will the hon. Gentleman explain what the purpose and effectiveness of an international criminal court would be if all national jurisdictions could opt out, given that his amendment is of a general nature and does not refer to any specific activity? What would be the purpose of such a court and how could it function effectively?
Mr. Blunt: Everyone can opt out. Has the hon. Lady read article 127? Under that article, every state can opt out of the ICC's jurisdiction if they want to by giving a year's notice. The amendment would allow Parliament to establish a test of reasonableness of behaviour on the part of the United Kingdom prosecuting authorities and the ICC, and to come to a conclusion about whether the ICC is operating in the way that we hope it will. My concern is that, given the way in which the statute has been negotiated, there is at least a possibility that the court will not behave in the way that we expect.
Mr. Lammy: Is the hon. Gentleman not confident about this country and its place among its international partners? What is wrong with partnership, consensus and achieving co-operation regarding its decisions being at the heart of the ICC? His argument is like that of the recalcitrant child who does not like the decisions made by grown-ups and decides to opt out. The example of opting out of the whole process is quite different from individual countries, as he says, staking a flag in the ground. He talks about responsible Government, but his argument would allow for irresponsible Government.

JWoww's "G.T.L" – Gym, Tanning, Liposuction
Is it just me, or is there something strange about Jenni "J-Woww" Farley's stomach? Come on guys, peel your eyes off of her gigantic breast implants for a moment and take a peek…
I've always suspected that something fishy was going on with Jenni's stomach, and the more pictures of J-Woww, that pop up, the more obvious it seem: J-Woww has had liposuction. When Jenni's weight fluctuates her butt, arms and double chin get bigger and flabby, but her stomach always stays as flat as a board. Although J-Woww's liposuction didn't come out at bad as Tara Reid's, it's still obvious and looks fake. J-Woww needs to spend more time at the gym and less time at the plastic surgeons office. The results would be much more attractive.
In addition to multiple breast augmentation surgeries and liposuction, it's also been rumored that Jenni has had a nose job as well as less invasive cosmetic procedures like stretch-mark lasering and cellulite removal. What do you think Jenni has had done?
More pictures of Jenni Farley in a bikini:

In this picture it looks like she has extra fat or rolls on her upper arms. It's really sad when a 20 something has to have surgery. I mean, I would give anything to have the body I did in my 20's. I just can't imagine that someone so young needs surgery.
She needs to get some hips injected cause she is shaped like a dude.
I've thought this too, only I thought she had a tummy tuck. Her stomach has that unnatural concave stretched look that is obvious with women who have had tummy tucks. Also if you've ever seen a close up picture of her belly button, it's got scarring around the whole perimeter, which as everyone knows happens with tummy tucks b/c the surgeon basically removes the belly button then re-attaches it.

I thought the exact thing last nite when watching the season premier. Looks like Tummy Tuck for sure.
That's the problem with these tall, thin women with small boobs. Usually tall women are "shapeless," lanky and stretched out with small or no boobs and small or no butt (No disrespect here, cuz there's nothing wrong with being built that way) The size of the breasts usually match the butt and the rest of the body. But then women who are shaped like this get these huge implants, and then they're still shapeless with these rock hard looking bolt-ons. They're still shapeless, but now they've kickballs with nipples on their chest. Megan from "Rock of Love" is a prime example of that type of body.
Look great do not keep cutting and nipping you will go from perfect to ugly in a snap
It looks like she has got a chin job
yes, it looks too stretched out. a real fit tummy would have some sort of shape – everybody has even a light sort of six pack look if they have this little fat on their tum. she has none. looks creepy with those stick on rockmelon boobs. and the scars look terrible.

- "Everyone welcome"
- ―Entrance sign
The Hill Valley Church is a church ministry in Grand Theft Auto V.
There are two churches serving under the Hill Valley Church name: one on West Eclipse Boulevard in Pacific Bluffs, Los Santos and another in Great Chaparral. The church network is probably based on the Piru United Methodist Church.
The adjacent cemetery for the Pacific Bluffs church is set across a hill and has a lake at its centre with a small bridge that connects it to a small island. The cemetery for the Great Chaparral church is much smaller. The engravings on some of the headstones read "Rest In Pieces" (instead of "Rest In Peace") and "Quiet, Isn't It?". Others have 1986 as years of death.
The church's denomination is not specified, though the "Everyone Welcome" sign suggests that the congregation is non-denominational.

- Letter Scrap
- One on the small island in the Pacific Bluffs cemetary
- One in the Great Chaparral cemetery.
- Pistol - in one of the empty plots in the Great Chaparral cemetery.
Stationary vehicles
- Romero - in the Pacific Bluffs carpark.
- The church's name might be a reference to the fictional town Hill Valley, from the Back to the Future franchise.
- The church is very similar to St. Brigid Baptist Church in Paleto Bay, so much that St. Brigid Baptist Church's name is located above the door of Hill Valley's. This is likely a developer's oversight, as both churches have the exact same structure and are likely copies of each other.

always on the lookout for good, flexible systems, i recently came across ladderax unit furniture. it was designed by robert heal and produced by staples & co. in the 60's. the following is from material cultures:
"The Ladderax System consists of a number of upright ladders, supporting shelves and cabinets. These are very simply fixed by resting on steel support rods, hooked on to the rungs of the ladders. They fit snugly into grooves under the shelves and cabinets. This allows the system to be very easily assembled and… gives the utmost flexibility. Ladderax does not require any permanent fixing to a wall, because it self-supports. Ladderax is furniture you can move about and rearrange as easily as you can change your mind."
already have a ladderax system (or any midcentury classic, for that matter)? get spare parts here.

Harry Luttrell succeeds in the great war in retrieving for his regiment the honor which it had lost in the Boer war. There are German machinations in Spain where a friend in the English secret service tracks a spy, only to involve Luttrell's fiancée. Another woman falls in love with him and then--but there is always another complication and a new sub-plot. An interesting variant of the modern detective story.
she took to herself, at once by nature, the seduction of both!
"Poor devil, he won't have a dog's chance!" the baronet concluded; and he watched approvingly what appeared to him to be Luttrell's endeavour to avoid joining battle on this unfavourable field. He could only trust feebly in that and in the strength of the "something else," the secret reason he was never to know.
It was about half-way through dinner when Stella Croyle, who had directed many a furtive, anxious glance to the averted face of her companion, attacked directly.
"What is the matter with you to-night?" she asked, interrupting him in the midst of a rattle of futilities. "Why should you recite to me from the guide-book about the University of Upsala?"
"It appears to be most interesting, and quaint," replied Luttrell hastily.
"Then we might hire a motor-car and run out there to luncheon. To-morrow! Just you and I."
"No." Harry Luttrell exclaimed suddenly and Stella Croyle drew back. Her face clouded.

I am new to blu ray but not video editing.
I have just bought a Samsung Blu ray writer and Toast 11 to add to my Macbook pro.
I have produced BD-SE and BD-R discs and both have the same results on my Panasonic Bluray player - I can hear the audio track but the TV screen is black. Interestingly if I press the fast forward button on the remote I can see the video for a split second.
The discs play fine on a friends Sony playstation but not on my sons Blu ray player (also panasonic).
The maunual for the Panasonic states that the media I am using should play. I have updated the firmawre.
Any suggestions?

NervaCORE Review
Like most of the world, you might find yourself dealing with some trouble focusing.
Whether you're tired, stress, or just can't seem to find the energy you need to buckle down, not being able to focus can be disruptive. Enter NervaCORE.
Your lack of being able to focus can cause problems at work, home and in your personal life. Your grades can slip at school, your performance at work can start declining, and before you know it, you don't know how to get out of the hole you've somehow managed to dig. So we started looking into NervaCore…
There are a few different treatment options you can go with. If you go to your doctor, odds are, he or she will prescribe something like Adderall. And while you might find this helpful, there are some serious side effects that come along with it. In fact, there have been cases of individuals getting addicted to it.
So what other choices do you have?
Turning to a supplement would be best case scenario, as this is a natural way to keep your focus, but you want to make sure you get the right choice.
We've been hearing a lot about CEL Nutrition's NervaCORE, which is a supplement that's dedicated to sharpening up your focus. We wanted to learn more about it so we decided to try it ourselves.
So What Does NervaCORE Do?
Not only does it promise to boost up your attention span, but it comes with two other perks as well. First, it claims to ward of mental tiredness and fatigue, so you won't find yourself feeling sluggish.
Secondly, it also promises to boost your energy. Sounds like a good three for one deal.
The company it is made by, CEL Nutrition has a fantastic reputation. We ordered the NeraCORE online at CelNutrition.com.
As for the price, you're looking at $65 for one bottle. If you're in the United States or Canada, and buy more than two bottles, you'll get free shipping. Something that really caught our eyes was the fact that each and every purchase is backed by a 60-day money back guarantee.
There's something comforting about this – after all, the company is so confident that their product is going to work for you, they're willing to give you your money back if you don't agree.
According to the manufacturer, they use an impressive neurological nootropic recipe to provide killer results. There are a lot of nutrients and vitamins as well as antioxidants and amino acids included in the list. Just about everything your body needs to feel good and working full-steam ahead.
Now if you take a look at any other nootropic, such as Tyrosine (which is an amino acid) and Huperzine A, you will find similar results.
Ingredients of NervaCORE
Another part of the NervaCORE supplement is a blend of vitamin B. This is pretty encouraging, because you will find a similar recipe in popular energy drinks.
And finally, the last few items including Alpha GPC and BioPerine, which is a trademark formula. According to the company, you will find these ingredients have been studied over years and years. In fact, all of them have shown significant results in both scientific and clinical studies.
Here's yet another area that really stuck out to us. Unlike other company, CEL Nutrition makes it dosage information well known. You can look online to see what the dosages look like versus other studies and see for yourself the results expected.
This is truly unexpected and unlike any other company. While there are a few ingredients that are hidden, as these are a "proprietary formula" you can expect to know how much of each and every ingredient in the formula you are going to be digesting.
One ingredient that'll pop out is Vinpocetine. This has been shown time and time again to help increase memory recall and reaction time. When you take a look at the ingredients list in NeraCORE, you will see there is about 20 mg of it in each 2 capsule serving size.
NervaCORE Dosage…
On its own, Vinpocetine is usually taken anywhere from 15 mg to 60 mg, so the 20 mg dose seems to be the sweet spot.
And like we said, the vitamin B mix in the supplement is generally what you'd see when you guzzle down an energy drink. B vitamins are one of the safest and most effective ways you can get a surge in energy. When we first took a look at the percentage of these vitamins, we were a little shocked to see how high they were.
However, because they're water-soluble, you literally can't get enough of them. Any extra you put into your body will be taken care of. Your body knows to naturally excrete these via urine.
As for that propriety blend of mystery ingredients, the only thing we were able to find out was that it is a mix of 7 nootropic compounds. As to what those compounds are, we aren't sure.
When it comes to the results, we felt them almost immediately. After taking two capsules in the morning, focusing and paying attention came naturally. No more mind-wandering or being unable to focus down on a single thing.
And on the plus side, there wasn't any negative side effects, like getting jittering or feeling anxious. It was simply like our brains were doing all the work and our bodies were just going along with it. Getting through the day without losing focus was cake.
One thing we worried about was building up a tolerance to NervaCORE after continued use. But that doesn't seem to be the case with this product. Because the product is made up of mostly vitamins and minerals, your body isn't able to build up a tolerance. So each day was as refreshing and effective as the first.
Our verdict: NervaCORE is a much better choice than a prescription you would get for your doctor. With no negative side effects, no possibility of getting addicted and its success rate, this one is a win all around.
It's a great way to keep your focus without having to heavily rely on a hardcore prescription.

George Kaiser Family Foundation announces $50 million gift to improve health in Oklahoma communities
The George Kaiser Family Foundation recently announced a $50 million gift – the largest single gift ever to the University of Oklahoma – to improve the health of Oklahomans through community-based medicine.
With the gift, the College of Medicine at OU-Tulsa will change its focus and become the first formally named School of Community Medicine in the nation. The OU School of Community Medicine's explicit purpose will be to improve the overall health status of underserved Oklahoma communities, both rural and urban, by providing additional community-based medical student education programs and resident training, and increasing the number of physician graduates. The School of Community Medicine will remain an integral part of the OU College of Medicine.
"Our state has the unfortunate distinction of having the worst health outcomes in the nation, a situation made even worse by the enormous disparities that exist according to income and access to care," said Ken Levit, executive director of the George Kaiser Family Foundation. "The effort to establish the nation's first School of Community Medicine is designed to address this challenge."
"We hope that the additional faculty that this grant will provide as well as the talented medical students who will be drawn to this innovative program from throughout the country will make a measurable impact for better health in communities across Oklahoma," said Levit.
"We are deeply grateful to George Kaiser and the Foundation for this gift, which will truly make a difference in the lives of Oklahomans for years to come. Creating the OU School of Community Medicine will provide programs and scholarships which will guide medical students into areas of care which impact lower-income families and others who have limited access to quality medical care. The new community medicine program will in no way duplicate existing programs of the OU College of Medicine," said OU President David Boren. "It will not concentrate on basic scientific research but on clinical outreach to those who desperately need care. It will also provide financial help to medical students who want to unselfishly dedicate themselves to underserved groups."
The primary goal of the OU School of Community Medicine is to actively improve the health status of Oklahomans by increasing the number of physician graduates and utilizing a curriculum that trains physicians to be excellent direct-care providers who are also skilled in solving larger health problems in their communities. The gift also provides incentives for new physicians to choose careers that serve the broader needs of the communities where they practice.
For more information about the OU School of Community Medicine, visit http://tulsa.ou.edu or call (918) 660-3098.

While the possibilities for arguments may be endless, experts say that--unlike death and taxes--tax fights can be avoided. Some suggestions for quelling the tax volcano before it erupts:
* Start early. The best time to talk taxes is months in advance, before the air becomes charged.
* Set up times to meet when you are not trying to solve anything and instead are just trying to get the issues on the table.
* Look at your tax behavior with some detachment. How would you counsel a friend who reacts the way you do?
* Almost everyone has a different interpretation of the value of money. Figure out in advance what money means to you and your partner. Does it mean power? Love? Criticism? Freedom? Control? Material opulence?
* Be utterly honest--and highly specific--when you share your side of a tax conflict.
* Be brief. Nobody loves a monologue, especially when the subject is money.
* Be polite.

Can nurses fix healthcare?
The United States spends more than any other country on healthcare, yet ranks dead last for access, patient safety, coordination, efficiency and equity. Apparently, we're not getting much bang for our buck.
Sadly, we've been in last place for awhile. The Commonwealth Fund analyzes and compares the health systems of multiple industrialized countries each year — Australia, Canada, Germany, the Netherlands, New Zealand, the United Kingdom and the United States. The US was last in 2004, 2006, 2007, and 2010, despite spending almost twice as much per capita ($8508 vs. $4418 for France).
Researchers observe that the universal healthcare systems in the other six countries encourage a close relationship between patients and a medical "home base." Many are also ahead in the use of information technology, which can streamline patient care and improve diagnosis and treatment.
Interestingly, some Americans believe nurses can act as "home base" for patients here in the United States. A recent New York Times article detailed the efforts of one insurance company to cut costs. They did it by hiring nurses. According to the Times, the nurses "full-time job is to help patients with chronic diseases stay on top of their conditions, and, ideally, out of the hospital." So far, it's worked: hospital admissions are down 18 percent, while medical expenses decreased seven percent. Patients are pleased with the system as well.
What do you think of the "home base" idea? Do you believe nurses are key to real healthcare reform?

I think that nurses are the ideal "home-base" for patients. Through the years of changes to health care and its environment, nurses have remained the steady patient advocates. However, nurses are increasingly spread thinner and thinner… leaving us with little time to do what we know is right for our patients. This has lead to demise in many areas of nursing and health care as a whole. If the nation wants improvement in health care, a definite line needs to be drawn in how thin nurses can be spread.
Registered nurses, along with advanced practice nurses, could be the "hub" of nursing centers that deliver health promotion, disease prevention, and health literacy to consumers. The APNs could deliver primary care when needed, thus increasing access and greatly reducing costs created by inappropriate use of the current "sickness care system." The problem lies in the many barriers erected in different states to prevent such a model of "health care" from fully functioning. Turf wars cloud what should be a common sense answer to a system that is unable to sustain such high costs – keep people healthy in the first place and use resources wisely when needed! Nurses are the IDEAL professionals to be the "home-base!"

This site and all the training we offer has been based on our proprietary Excel Skills Assessment.
Below a brief video clip on the Excel Skills Assessment. Read more about it and other options further down, or click below to just try it out.
Do the Online Skills Assessment
One of the biggest problems with learning about how to use Excel to its fullest is that there is no clear way of:
- Understanding what your current skill level is in Excel (have you attended an 'advanced' course where you knew more than the presenter?)
- Understanding which aspects of Excel to cover (so you are an advanced user, but are you advanced in the areas of your new role within the business?)
Excel is too big to know everything. Even the experts generally have an area of expertise. It is better to know the features that will help you with your CURRENT requirements!
With this in mind we have developed two simple questionnaires that will tell you:
- what your existing skill level is (in more detail than just beginner, intermediate or advanced), and
- which course is best given what YOU are currently doing in Excel ( go to the 'Which Excel Course to do' page).
These questionnaires are available for individuals or groups with an online version for quick answers and offline for more detailed reports.
What is your current Excel skill level (and what should you work on)
As shown in the video above, the Excel Skills Assessment assesses the person's aptitude for Excel learning and allows you to match your Excel skill level to the correct training material.
It measures your skill across four areas being:
- Fundamental Knowledge- the basics
- Using Tools- using the tools available in excel e.g. sort, autofilter, pivots
- Using Functions- using Excel's key formula functions e.g. vlookup, sumif etc
- Super User Attributes- ability to solve problems in excel using all the above
The report (click on the adjacent image to see an example) you will receive shows how you score against the various skill definitions and will identify where you need to put in a bit more work (e.g. you use the Excel tools really well, but your functions are weak).
You can choose to do the questionnaire online and get instant feedback (great for individuals) or else download the spreadsheet for use offline or if you want to have a group of people evaluated.
