CALGARY – The Calgary Flames seem to be more comfortable when they're against the ropes.
Joe Colborne capped off a thrilling game, scoring the only goal of the shootout as the Flames overcame a two-goal third period deficit for an improbable 4-3 win over the red-hot St. Louis Blues on Monday.
In the shootout, Colborne shot first and beat Jaroslav Halak on a deke for his third goal on four attempts this season. Reto Berra secured the victory in net by denying TJ Oshie, Derek Roy and Magnus Paajarvi.
"We've been doing it all year," said Colborne. "It seems like when we have a lead going into the third period, we're more nervous than we are when we come in and we're down."
Flames captain Mark Giordano forced the shootout, dramatically tying the game with five seconds left in the third period.
Patrick Berglund's holding penalty gave Calgary a power play for the final 1:37 of the third. Flames coach Bob Hartley added more pop to his offence by pulling Berra, making it a six-on-four situation.
The ploy worked as Calgary poured on the pressure. At one point after a slick passing sequence, rookie Sean Monahan—staring at an empty net—had the tying goal roll off his stick.
No matter, Hudler's long diagonal pass was one-timed in by Giordano, sending the sell-out crowd of 19,289 into a frenzy.
"I was just hoping he saw me because I saw the lane open right up," Giordano said. "When I saw it coming over and he laid it nice and flat for me. I just obviously tried to get a shot on net and it was a really good feeling to see that one go in for sure."
Hartley likes his team's determination when it's behind.
"We know the trademark of our team. Credit goes to our players. They never quit," Hartley said. "We don't want to fall behind but we always feel as a coaching staff that we keep supporting those guys and they always come up with a big goal, a big effort."
After the game Hartley emphasized the importance of heading in to the holiday season on a high note.
"This morning, I told them. I know it's one game out of 82 but the last game before Christmas, it's always special," said Hartley. "You're going home, your families will be around and many times they talk to you about your last game. So, for our players, to go back in their families, they'll have plenty to talk about."
Among the conversation starters will be defeating the Blues when they score first as they did—St. Louis entered the night 21-1-2 when that occurs, and when they lead after two periods as they did—they entered the night 16-0-2 in that scenario.
The Flames lead the league in one-goal games, the latest being a 4-3 loss to Pittsburgh on Saturday in which a third period comeback came up short.
Hudler and Mike Cammalleri also scored for Calgary (14-17-6) on Monday. The win kicked off a five-game homestand for the Flames and also snapped a three-game winless skid.
Kevin Shattenkirk, Jaden Schwartz and Paajarvi scored for St. Louis (24-7-5) in regulation. The Blues took three out of four points in Alberta and head home 5-1-2 in their last eight.
"It's uncharacteristic but a learning lesson for us," said Blues captain David Backes. "We played a team tonight that played their butts off and was on an uphill trajectory all game. They got better as the game went on and we plateaued and took out foot off the gas a little bit."
The Blues looked like they had the game well under control when goals 44 seconds apart in the second period from Schwartz and Paajarvi broke open a 1-1 tie and sent St. Louis to the intermission up by two.
"Teams in the west will take it to you if you let your foot off the gas and this team is no different. A little credit to them but we're going to look inside our room and make sure we're better next time we come out," said Backes.
Blues coach Ken Hitchcock spoke only briefly and echoed what his captain said.
"We lost composure with the puck. We made some puck errors. We got caught not clearing pucks at the end. We had full control of the hockey game," said Hitchcock. "We were just winding the game down and made some puck errors and the next thing you know it was in our net."
Berra had 32 saves, while Halak made 26 stops.
Notes: Flames centre Matt Stajan left the game late in overtime after a knee-on-knee collision with David Backes, who was penalized for kneeing on the play. There was no update after the game on his condition. … Calgary announced that Curtis Glencross (high ankle sprain), who earlier in the year missed 15 games with a knee injury, will miss eight weeks while D Kris Russell (sprained knee) will miss the next 4-6 weeks. Also out is C Blair Jones (knee, indefinite). That left D Derek Smith as the lone healthy scratch… Taking Russell's spot on the Calgary blue-line was Chris Breen…. With Alex Steen (upper body) out for the Blues, 20-year-old Dmitrij Jaskin, recalled from Chicago (AHL), made his season debut and played alongside Oshie and Backes.

Federal safety investigators have pinpointed a defective bolt as the cause of a landing gear collapse on a United Airlines jet that led to the emergency evacuation last month of more than 100 passengers at O`Hare International Airport.
The large T-bolt, about 4 inches long and 4 inches in diameter, failed because it was improperly machined, said Ed McAvoy, an expert in the Des Plaines office of the National Transportation Safety Board, the federal agency that conducted an inquiry into the April 8 incident. The bolt held a side brace to the left main landing gear, he said.

Dermapen® skin therapy is an ideal treatment for many skin types," explained Dr. Geroulis, "It's a highly successful and cost effective way to not only improve skin tone, complexion and texture but to tackle unsightly scars and signs of skin aging.
Northfield, IL (PRWEB) October 17, 2013
Board certified cosmetic surgeon and University of Chicago clinical professor of surgery, Dr. Anthony Geroulis has introduced Dermapen®, the cutting-edge skin therapy system, to his menu of cosmetic skin procedures. Dermapen's superior technology utilizes a pen-like device with micro-needles that vibrates as it travels across the face or body. The pen gently stamps the epidermis to ensure balanced absorption of an applied topical into the skin.
The applications for this revolutionary device include reducing fine lines and wrinkles, rejuvenating and tightening skin, minimizing acne scars, and diminishing stretch marks. In addition, the technology can aid substantially post trauma skin issues that remain unresolved. "Dermapen® skin therapy is an ideal treatment for many skin types," explained Dr. Geroulis, "It's a highly successful and cost effective way to not only improve skin tone, complexion and texture but to tackle unsightly scars and moderate and severe signs of skin aging."
It is recommended that the procedure be repeated every few months, especially for patients who are seeking a long-term effective problem resolution for their skin. Dermapen® procedures can be performed on their own or as a complement to treatments such as microdermabrasion and laser skin resurfacing, as long as there is a proper interval of time in between.
"Best of all, the treatment and recovery time for Dermapen® are very short, making it a simple way for my patients to see quick and incredible results," added Dr. Geroulis.
About Dr. Anthony J. Geroulis:
Bringing over 33 years of surgical experience to the field of facial plastic & cosmetic surgery, Anthony J. Geroulis, MD, FICS, was recently named a "Top Doctor" by U.S. News & World Report. Board certified in cosmetic surgery, author and sculptor, Dr. Anthony Geroulis is a clinical professor of surgery at the University of Chicago Medical Center (UCMC). His practice is headquartered in Northfield, with offices on Michigan Avenue in Chicago, at the University of Chicago Medical Center and at St. Alexis Medical Center in Hoffman Estates.

Google the word Momofuku and you will discover a whole society of zealots who have devoted themselves to recreating and perfecting the New York City bakery's Chocolate Chip Cornflake Marshmallow cookie.
I found this out as I searched the Internet for a cookie I could bring to my college son's cross country meet. I wanted the cookie that would have the team hoisting Sean on their shoulders while they sang "For His Mom's a Jolly Good Fellow."
The Momofuku Milk Bar's Chocolate Chip Cornflake Marshmallow Cookie is basically a chocolate chip cookie with marshmallows, but the thing that grabs your attention is that you make kind of a cornflake cluster thingy and mix that in. It's unique enough to make you have to try them.
The problem, you find out soon enough, is that the cookies tend to spread and flatten, and while they still taste great, they look horrible.
So people have devoted many hours and wasted sticks of butter to getting them to stay cookie-like and presentable. There are various methods of chilling the dough, freezing it, making smaller or larger cookies, adjusting the oven temps, etc.
So I bought in. I made a batch, and chilled the dough for an hour before I baked it. Here is the unhappy result:
I then made a special trip to the grocery store for more butter, chocolate chips, sugar and a head of cauliflower so the cashier wouldn't judge me.
I made a new batch of dough, chilled the whole damn thing overnight, then popped 6 raw cookie balls in the freezer for 15 minutes. I baked them at 325 degrees for 10 minutes. The result: a raw center and equally flat and spread out edges.
Determined to show these cookies I was boss and if I said "Don't spread" I meant it, I threw (close to literally) the dough into muffin tins and baked those at 350 for 14 minutes.
Not too bad actually, but pretty greasy and the marshmallows stuck to the side of the tins. Plus, I'm pretty sure cookie muffins would result in Sean sitting alone in the seat just behind the driver on the bus ride home--you know, the one where the driver stares at you in his giant rearview mirror the whole ride.
Then it dawned on me. Really, the great part of this recipe is the cornflake crunch. Why is everyone jumping through hoops to make the dough work, when it really is just a basic chocolate chip cookie dough with a way-too-high butter to flour ratio? So I decided to make my tried and true Neiman Marcus cookie recipe and add in the cornflake crunch and mini marshmallows.
Can I get an amen? No chilling, no staring at them through the oven door to make sure I get them out at the exact right second, and most importantly, no more trips to the store for another head of cauliflower.
Neimanfuku Chocolate Chip Cornflake Cookies
(a hybrid adaptation of Christina Tosi's recipe in the Momofuku Milk Bar cookbook and the Neiman Marcus cookie recipe)
1 cup butter
1 cup brown sugar, packed
1 cup granulated sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla
2 cups flour
2 1/2 cups blended oatmeal
1 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
12 oz. mini chocolate chips
3 cups cornflake crunch
1 cup mini marshmallows
Measure oatmeal and blend in a blender to a fine powder. Cream butter with sugars; add eggs and vanilla. Mix together with flour, oatmeal, salt, baking powder, and soda. Add chocolate chips, marshmallows, and cornflake crunch. Place one-inch balls of dough at least two inches apart on silpat-lined cookie sheet and bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes.
Cornflake Crunch (recipe by Christina Tosi of Momofuku Milk Bar)
5 cups cornflakes3 tbsp. sugar
1 tsp. kosher salt
9 tbsp butter, melted
1/2 cup milk powder
Heat the oven to 275 degrees. Pour the cornflakes into a medium bowl and crush them with your hands to one-quarter of their original size. Add the milk powder, sugar, and salt and toss to mix. Add the butter and toss to coat. Spread the mixture on a parchment-lined sheet pan and bake for 20 minutes, at which point they should look toasted, smell buttery, and crunch gently when cooled slightly and chewed.
Cool completely before using. It will keep for a week; up to a month in the fridge or freezer. Makes 4 cups.

Syniverse to Demonstrate Value of Intelligent Mobile Experience Delivery at Mobile World Congress
TAMPA, Fla. – Feb. 26, 2015 – Syniverse today announced an array of activities at Mobile World Congress 2015, including the unveiling of new data that details important mobile operator revenue opportunities; an appearance by Syniverse's chief marketing officer in a keynote session; the deployment of an advanced Wi-Fi network that enables automatic connection at the Mobile World Congress venue; and more. The activities underscore Syniverse's focus on helping mobile service providers and enterprises enable simple, interoperable mobile experiences, anytime, anywhere, and continue to build on the company's previous appearances at Mobile World Congress.
Syniverse's presence at the conference will be highlighted by the announcement of the results of a new study that identifies crucial areas of revenue opportunity and risk for mobile operators. The study details the imperative for mobile operators to maintain primary focus on core business areas like roaming and to take action to protect and drive revenue in the face of fierce battles for subscribers.
Chief Marketing Officer Mary Clark will also lead Syniverse's presence at Mobile World Congress by speaking at "Integrating Interactions with the Connected Consumer," which is part of a keynote session where she will co-present with Sarah Mansfield, Vice President, Global Media, Europe and Americas, Unilever. Clark's and Mansfield's presentation will address the importance of capturing consumer interactions and using this intelligence to better understand and serve individual consumer's mobile profiles. The session will also feature other speakers from several industry-leading technology companies and consumer brands.
Additionally, Syniverse will be co-sponsoring the Next Generation Hotspot and Wi-Fi Certified Passpoint Network. Led by the Wireless Broadband Alliance and the GSM Association, this initiative will allow Mobile World Congress attendees using Passpoint-enabled iOS and Android from participating mobile operators to automatically connect to the public Wi-Fi network at the Fira Gran Via venue via secure credentials and Wi-Fi connections. Syniverse, as a member of the Wireless Broadband Alliance and in conjunction with more than 30 mobile operators and several other technology partners, will help automatically authenticate mobile devices at the conference to enable attendees to have seamless network access.
Syniverse will use its social media channels to provide regular updates about its activities at Mobile World Congress, and Syniverse's Twitter feed will be featured on the conference's official tweet wall and displayed on over 100 television screens throughout the venue.

All Natural Chicken For Sale!
- No hormones!
- No antibiotics!
- Non-medicated Feed!
- Free-ranging in the protection of our open-aired barn.
Whole, frozen chickens $6/lb.
on sale only at our farm - see our homepage for hours!
Our chickens are hand-raised from baby chick to fully-grown chickens. They are fed lots of vegetables scraps from our 'beyond organic' CSA vegetable farm share program, as well as unprocessed grain. While the grain is not organic, it is non-medicated, unprocessed (not pelletized) cracked whole corn with some soy mixed in for extra protein. It's the best we could do to still make the chickens affordable s the price of 'organic' certified grain is outrageously and prohibitively expensive.
Our chickens free range in our airy, open-sided barn with plenty of access to food and fresh water. We've had trouble with predators - hawks and coyotes - so we opted to move the flock under a roof for their own protection and we bring the greens to them! The chickens are processed at a USDA-approved facility and are brought back to the farm whole in bags, frozen, with the giblets inside.
If you'd like to purchase our chicken, see our home page for our hours, or we can be open by appointment.

"I'm in love with my brand"
"A few people have asked who created my beautiful brand and design.
I can't thank Lidia enough for helping me in every single way by creating my brand."
— Shannon Murray.
"A naturally gifted designer."
I've been fortunate enough to work with Lidia both as a client in my previous role and now as a colleague. A naturally-gifted designer with a real eye for style, Lidia's work is exceptional – and I am always able to trust her 100% to deliver every project on time, within budget and to the highest standard. Lidia's creative and commercial knowledge is admirable and she is a continuous source of inspiration for the industry.
— Lara Candido.
"Delivering fresh, creative ideas"
Lidia is one of the most impressive young designers I have come across for some time. She is very focussed, perceptive and quick to grasp what matters, enabling her to deliver fresh, creative thinking that is always relevant and appropriate. Lidia's maturity and capability is way beyond her years. On top of that she has a lovely personality and is easy to work with.
— Ian Robson, Director at Robson Dowry.
Lidia designed our rather old fashioned website and logo as well as the design of our new office next to the harbour in sunny Estepona, Spain. She was a pleasure to work with, we welcomed her advice on what we should go for and it has worked very well, our website is now very user friendly and we love it. Lidia explained every stage of the process (which was just what we needed as we didn´t have an idea) and produced work of a high standard even before the deadline. We intend to use her service in the near future on another project!
— Victoria, Director at Future Homes.
"A positive attitude and great talent for design."
Lidia is an enthusiastic and accomplished graphic designer. Her ideas are fresh, insightful and always well executed. It was a great pleasure to be her colleague and watch her skills develop over a wide variety of client projects. I would thoroughly recommend her for any type of design job as she applies herself whole-heartedly.
She has both a wonderful positive attitude and a great talent for design.
— Hilary Barnes.

Cedar Park, TX
I've been always attracted to vibrant colors, textures, and unconventional imagery. Experimenting with different mediums and creative tools helps me express my love of color and passion for paint. I draw my inspiration from beauty of God's creation in its different forms and expressions - people, animals, nature, light, things made by men, and more.
I was born and raised in Russia, and now live in Austin Texas with my family. I've began developing my painting style about 18 years ago. I was influenced by Russian and European impressionists, my love for color, and my life experiences. My work has been published in several magazines and publications, and it's on display in private and public collections worldwide. I am available for Custom commissioned Pet and People portraits.

Golden LivingCenter-Indianapolis uses AlixaRx system to reduce antipsychotics, earning the SNF a top McKnight's tech award
Golden LivingCenter - Indianapolis
From reducing off-label use of antipsychotics to better antibiotic stewardship, medication management is at the forefront of today's long-term care challenges. And Golden LivingCenter-Indianapolis is in the vanguard of facilities tackling this challenge in innovative ways. For this, the skilled nursing facility received top honors in the McKnight's Excellence in Technology awards.
Golden LivingCenter-Indianapolis, which has an average daily census of 90 residents, was the first LivingCenter in Indiana to use the AlixaRx pharmacy system. Its strong implementation achieved impressive results, including a 15% reduction in antipsychotic use this year. Independent judges honored the facility with the Gold award for Innovator of the Year.
Developed in partnership with Golden Living, the AlixaRx system offers 24/7, on-site access to more than 300 medications via automated dispensing units and electronic medication cabinets. The results in Indianapolis are representative of how the innovative system is improving medication management company-wide: In June 2013, across all facilities using AlixaRx, Golden saw about a 13% cost reduction on oral solid medications, according to the company. Quality of care also improved, staff members said.
"This technology cuts a minimum of an hour in the morning when we are delivering medicine to our patients," says Donna Jenkinson, RN, a nurse at the Indianapolis LivingCenter. "We now use this hour to spend with our patients."
The Silver award went to Cantata Adult Life Services. The Illinois-based nonprofit showed what can happen when new technology inspires and supports a fundamental reevaluation of how care is delivered. Using AOD's AnswersTM EHR technology, Cantata turned around its skilled nursing services, which was seeing increased costs, lower customer satisfaction and stalled growth.
The transformation to a hard-wired EHR was achieved in tandem with changing 75% of the SNF leadership, and a commitment to maximizing the technology's value by eliminating workarounds and adopting a point-of-care program, according to the company's entry form. Cantata now has 95%-plus customer satisfaction and consistent revenue growth, the company says, and it has created a consulting service to aid other providers looking for similar success.
AristaCare Health Services walked away with the Bronze award for its telemedicine initiative. The provider, which offers post-acute and long-term care at six locations in Pennsylvania and New Jersey, implemented a solution created by eSNF LLC. The eSNF service includes state-of-the-art equipment that allows physicians to see and evaluate residents after hours. AristaCare says it has seen about a 40% decline in hospitalizations.
The two certificate of merit honorees in this category deserve special congratulations: Each of them also earned a certificate of merit in the High Tech/High Touch category.
Canterbury Care & Rehabilitation Center, a Windsor Healthcare Communities facility, won for an innovative media project. The Canterbury News Network broadcasts via YouTube and on a local channel in Cedar Grove, NJ. Residents serve as anchors and reporters on this "CNN," which involves the use of green screens, iPads, editing programs and other technology.
Three Links Care Center in Northfield, MN, implemented SpeechGear's Interact-AS technology to improve communication with residents who have hearing difficulties or need translation services, and partnered with SpeechGear to develop dementia-specific features. The nonprofit says it undertook this project to better serve its current residents and to prepare for a future when an increasing number of seniors will not speak English as a first language.
McKesson is this year's sponsor of the competition. This week, the McKnight's Excellence in Technology Awards is recognizing winners in the following categories:
Monday — Quality in care (Gold: Life Care Centers of America)
Tuesday – Dignity Through Technology (Gold: The Terraces of Los Gatos)
Wednesday – High Tech/High Touch (Gold: Front Porch Center for Innovation and Wellbeing)
Thursday – Innovator of the Year
Friday – Transitions

I haven't worked with youtube lately and for about 2 days i'm struggling with Timing to set my youtube Video thumbnail. Unfortunatelly the channel I use isn't monetized and I don't have the option to upload a random image as my video thumbnail. The videos that I try to upload are about 90 Minutes long,and placing "my thumbnail" at the middle of the video is not working anymore. Can you guys send me some directions?

Just a few initial comments and reflections on my first major international worldwide, business class, paid for with points trip.
Writing this as I sit in the Lufthansa Senators Lounge in Frankfurt, Germany. One more leg to this trip, US701, an A330 FRA-PHL (which, by the way, is delayed 2 hours, the first delayed flight on this trip!)
Routing of the trip was PHL-YYZ-PEK-SIN-MLE-SIN-BKK-FRA-PHL, with
– a few hours in Toronto (Maple Leaf lounge was awesome)
– 8 hours in Beijing (still learning how to travel with ease, didn't think 8 hours was enough to get into the city, explore and back, so stayed in the lounge)
– 4 day stopover in Singapore at the Conrad
– 5 days at the Conrad Maldives
– about 12 hours in Bankok
– 7 (now 9) hour layover in Frankfurt
Sampled Air Canada Biz class 777, Singapore Biz 777 (PEK-SIN-MLE-SIN), Thai Biz 777 (SIN-BKK), Thai A380 (BKK-FRA – and VERY disapointed with the service), wrapping up with US A330 (FRA-PHL).
All in all, this trip proved to me that the – sometimes – craziness and obsessions with miles is well worth it, in terms of the effort expended to generate the miles and the experienced obtained along the actual journey.
——More details to folllow
Further update – some pictures from the trip…… these are from the Conrad Maldives Rangali Island. A truly amazing place

Pumpkin has many health benefits for our pets – not pumpkin pie or pumpkin pie filling - but healthy, simple pumpkin. Sweet Potato works, too.
Pumpkin creates a feeling of fullness and can enhance weight loss. Even more importantly, for older cats and dogs who are suffering from constipation, pumpkin and sweet potato can be a life saver, or at the very least, make them more comfortable. It worked for my cat, Maizy, and now I am working on the other 3 cats and our border collie.
Pumpkin can add a healthy punch of moisture to any cat or dog diet, and is especially healthy for animals who consume dehydrated kibble.
Adding pumpkin to each meal or serving separately as a snack (that I would love to see!) can promote your pet's improved state of hydration.
Save the Pumpkin Spice Latter for yourself.


text: I'm really digging this a lot. I guess the best way to describe the climbing would be to relate it to Shadow of The Colossus? I know for sure that you could climb more or less where their "hair" was and other sort of ledges on their body, which in turn would relate to separate points that the UDK provides.

Governor's driver stops to check house on fire
Governor's driver stops to check house on fire
MONROE, Iowa —
Iowa Department of Public Safety officials said Gov. Terry Branstad's driver stopped to check a house on fire Wednesday.
The governor and Trooper Greg Steffen were traveling back to Des Moines from Eddyville when Steffen spotted the fire while driving on Highway 163 about 1:50 p.m.
When Steffen investigated where the smoke was coming from he found a house fully engulfed in flames, officials said.
Steffen found the homeowner had escaped the fire, but had suffered multiple burns. Steffen checked for other people inside the house and then rendered first aid until emergency crews arrived.
The Iowa State Patrol reports that Branstad did not exit the vehicle during the incident and remained a safe distance from the fire at all times, officials said.

One of the area's top 10 players, Fenton senior Cory Cox, will play his college ball at Cornerstone University according to Steve Bell (@bankhoops).
Cox, a 6-5 forward who can play inside and outside, will follow in his brother's footsteps to the NAIA. Nate Cox, similarly sized and skilled at the high school level, is Davenport University's first and only NAIA All-American (2011).
Having watched both players at the high school level, I'd give Cory a slight advantage in talent when comparing both at the same age. That being said, it's how to account for how hard a player works to get better in college. Nate obviously put in his time.

Michael Cera was mugged in Chile while he was in the country filming new movie Crystal Fairy.
The Superbad star was targeted by thieves when he went for a late night stroll on his own, but was unharmed.
He tells Us Weekly magazine, "I was alone, so I had a target on my back... They took a 10-year-old phone. It was a fortunate mugging!"
However, the actor insists he had a great time backpacking through the region: "We slept in bunk beds and ate bread and cheese."

Real Satsang is the union of the Jivatma(individual self) with Paramatma (Supreme Self).
If we stand near someone who is talking, that talk will create a particular aura around us. Through bad company, a negative aura will be formed, casuing an increase in impure thoughts. This is why it is said that satsang (keeping holy company) is necessary.

The medical billing market is continuing to grow today and even though there is a lot of competition out there, there is a huge demand for those who can do this kind of work from home. If you think this is something you might be interested in doing, you can start your own billing practice from home if you do the right things and make sure that you have a good plan.
First thing you will have to do is to make sure that you sign up at your local community college or one of those vocational schools so that you can get either certified or get a degree in medical billing. If your local community college doesn't offer this kind of course work, make sure that you find yourself a respected vocational school that does. You can do this by going to allalliedhealthschools.com or medicalbillingcourse.com and find schools that they recommend.
After you have gotten your certificate or your degree in medical billing it is not a good idea to jump right into starting up your home business. You probably should consider doing some temp work or take on a part time job doing some medical billing in a medical office or hospital. You will need to try and learn all that you can about medical billing, processing claims and software that you will need to know how to work. You will also need to have practice with terminology as well as procedures for coding and billing.
You should also plan on spending at least $3,000 in order to start up your home business. You are going to need a good computer, billing software, a desk and comfortable chair. You will also need supplies for your office, a printer, phone and maybe even a fax machine. It will also be important that your office have a few filing cabinets as well. You will want to have some materials on hand to advertise like your own business brochures and your own business cards.
When you go to buy your important billing software it's a good idea that you do some good research on this before you decide to buy one. This is going to probably the most important part of running your business and it's probably going to be the most expensive expense you are going to have to invest in. You want to make sure that you also get the most for your money. You should probably try out demos in order to make a more educated decision on which billing software is going to work best for you.
In order to get yourself some clients you are going to have to not be afraid to simply start calling the different doctors offices in your area and let them know about the service that you are offering. You should also consider joining the Electronic Medical Billing Network of America because you will be able to network through them and get some clients.

Return of Superman Song triplets vacation in Jeju Island
Actor Song Il Kook, who finished playing the lead role in historical drama Jang Young Sil, and his much loved triplet sons Song Dae Han, Song Min Gook, and Song Man Se, vacationed in the beautiful Jeju Island. In Jeju Island, the former Return of Superman member and his sons checked out the field of canola flowers and a computer museum.
Since Song Il Kook left Return of Superman in February, which was soon followed by Choo Sung Hoon and his daughter Choo Sarang leaving, the actor has been conversing with fans through Instagram. While filming Jang Young Sil, he posted photos of the triplets in the filming scene, casted as extras.
On April Fool's day, the triplets met beautiful actress Ko So Young by accident.
Since the Songs and the Choos left the reality show, two new families have joined: actor Lee Bum Soo and his children Lee Do Eul and Lee Da Eul, and actor Ki Tae Young, actress Eugene, and their baby daughter Rohee.
What are your thoughts on Return of Superman with two new families? We'd love to hear your thoughts!

How Many Credits Do You Need for a Bachelor's Degree?
How many credits do you need for a bachelor's degree?
You'll need 180 quarter credit hours under your belt to earn a bachelor's degree from American InterContinental University (AIU), a leading online education provider that is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission.
You should know if you're comparing schools, that higher education institutions count credits in different ways. AIU, for instance, measures credits in quarter hours. Other schools measure credits in semester hours. (For comparison's sake, 180 quarter hours equals 120 semester hours.)
While the total number of credit and courses required varies by university, what's particularly different at AIU is what types of courses those credits come from at AIU, career-focused specializations mean more of your courses will be in your field of interest than at other similar schools. With more concentrated courses, you can develop a greater foundation of knowledge, and your knowledge base can be further enriched by fellow students and professors who have real-life experience in your field of study.
You will, of course, still need to take a variety of general education courses to meet your bachelor's degree requirements. AIU's general education courses are designed to help you build a strong basis of skills that are widely necessary for the workplace, such as communications, technological competence, and math.
How long does it take to get your bachelor's degree? Typically, this takes a full-time student at a traditional college four years, but many factors can impact the time you have to dedicate to schooling. Accelerated online programs like AIU's, for example, allow students to earn their bachelor's in as little as 36 months. You may also be able to receive credit for past school, work or military experience that can further reduce the amount of time it takes to complete your degree program. So, for instance, if you're currently a working professional and are wondering how many credits you need for a bachelor's degree in business, you should explore whether you can benefit from an accelerated program where you could possibly earn credit from what you learned on the job. Conversely, if you find a part-time school schedule works better for you because of work, family or other obligations, then it might take you longer than four years to earn your degree. It's up to you to decide what pacing best fits your goals and your life.
Whatever path you decide to take, know AIU has the same goal you do: To earn you a quality bachelor's degree that will help you forward your career and achieve your goals. You just have to make it to that magic number of 180 quarter credit hours!

Tara is a romance novelist who lives in a fantasy world. Even though she has no experience with real-life romance, her novels are very popular. Ever since that man moved into the house next door to her, she has been using him as the model for her next novel. She gives him the name "Jack Louis," and shapes him to be the ultimate gentleman. She spends several days observing him from afar when he shows up at her house. "Hi, I'm Jack Louis, your next-door neighbor." There's no doubt that it's him. How could this be? She hasn't shown her novel to anybody else. Could he have just leaped out of the pages?

- Casandra 07/03/2016
I didn't hate this one, but it wasn't one I'll probably re-read. Too many back and forth willful misunderstandings on the part of the lead female and male. The lead male likes the lead female but she turns him away and makes stupid assumptions, then she goes after him but he turns her away and makes assumptions then he goes after her again but she decides its over then she goes after him but he cuts her off... I just don't really go for that type of story. The art was... average. Not bad at all, but not the best either. Overall, I'd say this story was on the low end of average in my eyes.

The dog went to the county fair, and then ate popcorn .
Here, the compound predicate is went to the county fair and then ate popcorn . Compound predicates are important because they keep us from writing short, boring sentences. For example:
The dog went to the county fair. Then he ate popcorn.
The dog went to the county fair, and then he ate popcorn.
The second example using the compound predicate is a much stronger sentence.
A complete predicate includes all of the verbs and other details about it in the sentence:complete predicate
The complete predicate of the sentence is underlined. As you see, it includes not only the verb "went," but "to the county fair" as well, because those words all tell about what is happening in the sentence.
A clause is a set of words containing a subject and a predicate. An easy way to remember this isclause
"clause = subject + predicate."
An independent clause can exist as a sentence on its own.independent clause
The dog ran.
Reebok Classic Lthr 2267 Mens Shoes Size 95 US 0dW1EQ
has a subject and a predicate but can't exist as a sentence on its own:
The dog smelled popcorn, which was popping at the county fair .
In the second part of the sentence, there is a subject (county fair) and a predicate (popping), but the words don't give enough information to be a complete sentence. It only gives extra information—we need to know that "Sparky smelled popcorn" to understand "popping at the county fair." Alone, a dependent clause makes a fragment sentence (see VII). "Which was popping at the county fair" is a fragment sentence.
A sentence's "structure" is the main form it should follow in order for it to make sense and express the right idea. When it comes to making sure your sentence is clear and complete, having the right sentence structure is very important.
A simple sentence has only one subject and one predicate—in other words, only one clause. Here are three simple sentences:simple sentence
A compound sentence has more than one subject or predicate. It uses a conjunction like "and" to combine two or more complete sentences into one compound sentence. A conjunction, like the word "and" connects words, phrases and clauses. For example, you can combine the three sentences above to make one compound sentence:compound sentence
The dog ran all the way to the county fair, and then he ate some popcorn.
This is a compound sentence because it has one subject, "dog," but two predicates, "ran" and "ate."
A complex sentence has at least one independent clause and one dependent clause.
By prioritizing the effective use of Electronic Health Records () to improve the quality and efficiency of health care, the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health (
Katy Perry Womens The Kyra Ballet Flat Gold qHB7x
) Act of 2009 made it clear that the adoption of EHRs was not an end unto itself.
The Act established Meaningful Use (MU) of interoperable EHRs with the ability of electronic Health Information Exchange () as a critical national goal. Accordingly, , the Centers for Medicare Medicaid Services, manages the rules and definitions for Meaningful Use and enables and enforces compliance.
he HITECH Act specifies three main components of Meaningful Use:
1. Use of
Certified EHR Technology (
Levis Shoes Mens Buck CT Canvas Red xqrF7O
) in a meaningful manner; 2. Use of Health Information Exchange () to improve quality of care; and 3. Use of CEHRT to submit clinical quality and other measures.
CMS created the Medicare and
Medicaid EHR Incentive Programs
to supporthealthcare providers in the implementation ofMeaningful Use.
Acorn Womens Boiled Wool Edelweiss Slipper Moccasin Heather Grey xsMO2kA
and YNut Linen Cotton Winter Indoor Slipper Men Women Couple Indoor Warm Soft Clog Open Toe Brown Stripe TX01BRN kAN24OSE
can earn incentives for the adoption and Meaningful Use of CEHRT. The program requires the participants to implement Meaningful Use in a staged approach.
The ultimate goal of the Medicaid EHR Incentive Program is that the participants reach Meaningful UseStage 3. The Stage 3 objectives promote the electronic recording and exchange of patient data between the cliniciansand with their patients, and the advanced use of the EHR capabilities. The Stage 3 objectives include:
1)Protect Patient Health Information verified through Security Risk Analysis
2)Electronic Prescribing
3) Clinical Decision Support
4) Computerized Provider Order Entry (CPOE)
5)Patient Electronic Access
6) Coordination of Care through Patient Engagement
7) Health Information Exchange
8) Public Health Reporting

Ideally, you want color bars to be recorded on every source tape you use so that you can verify the signal levels, hues, color phases, and so on and make any corrections necessary in order to reproduce the signal as accurately as possible. However, your footage might appear too red or too green. My recommendation is to use the controls on your deck or from your capture card (if available) during the initial digitizing portion of your project so that you digitize and work with footage at the proper video levels and hues. If you don't have all those fancy controls available to you, you can use Premiere's filters to color-correct your image back to normal.
To adjust your image's color levels, do the following:

So a few months ago I was thinking where to bring my parents to for a short weekend trip and found this resort in Melaka. It's called Phileo Resort and it's right beside the Melaka toll so driving there is quite easy.
Love the wooden houses. Feels very close to nature like that.
Just posing a bit at the entrance to show you guys how it looks like from the outside.

I am the mess you chose
The closet you cannot close,
The devil in you I suppose
'Cause the wounds never heal.
-from Everything Changes by Staind
I'm in an odd frame of mind. This happens every now and again, as I'm sure it does with everyone. I'm not sure what exactly brought this on, but it's here. What's off, is that I was in a reallyreallyreally good mood this morning at work and now I'm... Odd. There's just no other word I can come up with for it. I recognize the mood. I've been here before. Thing is, this time, I'm not sure when I'll be able to get it out of my system.
I need to be alone. Soon. Greg will be gone April 14th, which is rapidly approaching, but I'm not sure I can wait that long and not freak out at some point. It's pretty safe to say, though, that if I do have to wait that long and have a freak out, no one will really notice. This isn't something that I've made known to a lot of people that I do. What it really boils down to, I suppose, is that I feel like if I let too many people know, they will know I'm not as strong of a person a everyone seems to think I am and have always been. And I know it's nothing serious. I'm not contemplating playing the Suicide Game or anything like that. Chances are I'm just being overdramatic and full of hormone induced moody bullshit. But, I know how I am when I get in this frame of mind and, really, being alone to work it out in my own way, is the only way I know how to deal with it.
There is a lot I haven't accomplished in my life. Granted, I'm still rather young, so there's plenty of time to do some things. There are a lot of choices I wish I had made differently. A lot. Regrets? No, not at all. After all, I made the choices I did for a reason. And had I not made them, I wouldn't have gone down the path that I have and, ultimately, become the woman I am today. But those fucking What ifs... Nag at me relentlessly when I'm like this. What if I hadn't done this or What if I had gone there... Things like that. And I wind up imagining what my life would be like. Which is totally fine. I think more people daydream a bit like that then they care to admit. But what I don't like about that, is that once I'm done imagining, my heart just aches. And I wind up wondering about people I've loved through my life and what I've done to drive them away. More often than not, I realize it's pretty much just an issue of growing apart or whatever, but not when I get like this. When I'm in the frame of mind I'm in right now, I'm convinced that everything that has ever gone a different way than what I wanted, is my fault. Regardless of whether or not there's really even fault to be found.
I want to go home and be alone. Just me. I want a bottle or two of wine and I want to be left alone to look through the things I've collected in my suitcase over the years. I want to be able to just purge myself of those feelings all at once. When I get like this, I can usually find a time to do just that. But I have to be alone. I need to be alone in order to let myself go. I tend to cry when I do this. Crying in front of humans? Not an option. Hell no. That shows weakness and I can't let people see that. No. With the exception of What Dreams May Come, I will not allow people to see me even tear up at a movie. (that movie tears me apart everytime I see it) Chances are, there was something instilled in me when I was younger that makes me not be able to cry in front of people. If it ever actually does happen, I'm either very drunk or there is something very wrong. That's just the way it is. I've been interrupted before, and the moment someone walks in on that, there is nothing but something and sunshine flying out of my ass. When they leave, I continue. But, this time, I just want the house to myself so I don't have to worry about someone randomly walking in and having this whole awkward thing. I want to be able to go through my things and be able to... I guess, grieve, over things that make me ache. Be able to have one night to myself where I don't have to be so fucking chipper or strong. I want to just not be happy and not have to blame it on my fucked up hormones. Ok, so 9 times out of 10, that actually is the problem, but damn it, I don't want to have to keep saying it. I want to light my candles, drink my wine and be fucking emo. Be a fucking emo girl! And I want to do that without being stared at by anyone. I don't want to have to worry if someone needs me to listen to them talk about their day. I don't want to have to worry about anyone needing me to wash clothes or sheets. I don't want to have to worry about getting up and going to work. I don't want to worry about paying the fucking bills. I don't want to worry about whether or not I'm gonna be able to buy fucking groceries so I can make dinner. I don't want to worry about people getting pissed off at me if I don't send a pair of fucking jeans somewhere.
I want to remember when my life wasn't so full of worries. I want to think about when things were simpler, even though the most trivial things felt like life and death issues. I want to remember what it was like to have someone go somewhere with you out of their love for you, cuzz they wanted to see you happy, instead of telling you it's out of the question cuzz they think it's beneath them. I want to remember who I was. I want to figure out where I lost myself...
Here's the bullshit of everything, though. I want to be alone, yet I'm terrified of it. At least at night. My cat, Harley, has learned how to unlock the lock on the door knobs for front and back door. My back door is ALWAYS locked. That door is very rarely ever used. When I see one of the locks is moved, I tend to panic. In my mind, when the back door is unlocked, everything can change. Everything becomes dangerous. When the back door isn't locked... HE can get in. And while I know he doesn't know where I live and, more than likely, doesn't think about me at all, the fact that that door is not locked means everything happened. That it actually happened. And if it happened once, it can happen again. And so I panic. The only explanation I have for that door coming unlocked is Harley. She's opened the door to my bedroom a couple times to let herself out and I've seen her unlock the front door. The dryer is right next to the back door, so she has ample opportunity. The deadbolt isn't unlocked, so everything suggests that my soon to be 12 year old cat, is fucking with my head. But it still sends me into a panic. And I hate that even more than letting people see me cry.
I want to be alone and yet, I'm fucking terrified of it at the same time...
Hello world. My name is fucked in the head. How are you?

Thursday's light blanket of snow turned out to be a one-hit wonder, as Friday's expected front moved mostly north of the Fort Worth area.
Friday morning commuters still had to contend with the remnants of Thursday's storm, which dropped 1 to 2 inches of snow on the Metroplex, but it was smooth going for the most part.
Another storm system had a chance to dump more snow Friday afternoon, but it headed north instead.
The National Weather Service warned motorists to drive with care Friday evening and overnight because patches of ice from earlier precipitation remained on roadways.
Temperatures stayed below freezing most of the day with a low of 23 recorded just before 4 a.m. But it warmed up in the late afternoon to 32, the day's high.
The cold, not the snow, prompted the state's largest electric grid to ask consumers to reduce their power consumption overnight Thursday.
Electricity use in the Electric Reliability Council of Texas, the manager of the power grid that serves about 85 percent of the state, nearly set a winter record Thursday, ERCOT's director of system operations, Dan Woodfin, said in a news release.
ERCOT lifted a conservation alert at 11 a.m. Friday. "We are grateful for consumers' support during the extreme cold that has increased the demand for power and limited generation capacity," the news release said.
The weekend should be more pleasant, with highs in the mid-50s and sunny skies during the day. But morning drivers, beware: The forecast calls for areas of fog before 9 a.m.
Another front is expected to move in late Sunday, bringing with it a 20 percent chance of rain that could change to freezing rain or sleet overnight, said Dan Huckaby, a meteorologist with the weather service office in Fort Worth.
"Initially we will have some rain on Monday, but then we have another shot of cold air coming in, and we could possibly see a wintry mix on Tuesday," Huckaby said. "It's a little too early to say exactly what type of precipitation we might have."

Wake County school leaders and the Wake Education Partnership are talking a lot about growth when it comes to the latest round of state test results because talking about the passing rates isn't a pretty subject.
The school district's overall proficiency rate on the 2012-13 state end-of-grade and end-of-course exams was 55.8 percent. What you've heard a lot more about from both groups is that 140 of the 165 schools made growth targets on the exams.
"The new standards demand a lot from our teachers and our students. And our students have shown tremendous growth in the past year," Superintendent Jim Merrill said in a district press release. "I commend our teachers and students for their work, and parents for their support. I am proud of what we see today."
The headline in the Wake Education Partnership's latest issue of "In Context" reads "Higher standards mask steady growth."
State and local education officials say you can't compare the proficiency rates for the exams based on the new Common Core standards with exams given in prior years.
But those same officials say you can use those prior exams in conjunction with the new exams to help determine growth. Plugging the data into SAS Institute's proprietary EVAAS program paints a much more upbeat picture on student performance in Wake and the rest of the state.
"Despite sharply lower passing rates on new state exams, Wake County students made clear academic progress last year, according to data released by state educators today," the WEP writes. "While the decline in test scores masked the underlying progress of students, the growth offered encouragement for what lies ahead in the new era of student accountability introduced today."
The WEP writes that "growth measures are important because they show students are making progress even if they aren't meeting the higher proficiency goals expected this year."
"Under the new Common Core exams, both the difficulty of questions and the required number of correct answers increased – hence the drop in passing rates," the WEP also writes. "At the same time, many students made obvious progress even if they failed to clear the higher bar."
But whether parents and the public will be satisfied with focusing on the growth results as opposed to the proficiency results remains to be seen.
The proficiency figures for Wake show that 63 of the 165 schools have performance composites of under 50 percent.
