After a long day — or in the middle of a long week — it can be tough to push yourself to exercise. Still, you know how important it is, especially if you spend long hours sitting at a desk. Try these tips to motivate yourself to move it.
Find an activity you actually like
It sounds like a no-brainer (it kind of is!), but if you're just not jazzed by the slog on the elliptical or don't feel energized to tackle that HITT class today, don't do it! Try something new, whether it be going for a hike, signing up for a dance class, hiring that trainer who's been chatting you up, or opting into the city bike share you've been considering.
Phone a friend
The buddy system can be a surefire way to keep yourself on track. Take turns planning the workout or choose activities that require two to make a go of it — it's pretty hard to play tennis alone.
Make it a priority
When you're overscheduled, it seems like the workouts are the first thing to go, especially if you haven't actually scheduled them on the calendar. So do that! On Sunday nights, block off your gym sessions for the week or sign up for classes with specific times attached. We've found that an ironclad cancellation policy with a financial penalty attached to be the greatest motivator there is.
Get up and at 'em
Morning exercisers are more successful at getting their workouts in, both because willpower is at its highest at the beginning of the day and because it's harder to make excuses to skip them than if the plan is to exercise at lunch or day's end. To help with the early-bird routine, start by shifting your bedtime 10 to 15 minutes earlier each night for a week, so you'll be better rested for an hour-earlier alarm. Lay out your workout clothes — or even sleep in them! — and put your shoes and socks at the ready.
Try the five-minute rule
Getting a workout started can often be the hardest part. If you're dragging your cross-trainers, make yourself a deal. You must do whatever exercise for five minutes (set a timer). If at the buzzer you're still feeling not-so-pumped, you have permission to stop. At the very least you'll have gotten in five minutes of activity, and — more likely — those five minutes will have pepped you up to finish what you've started.
Incentivize yourself
Sometimes it takes more than the promise of a post-exercise endorphin high to nudge you into action. So make it a double boost: Allow yourself to cue up your favorite podcast only when you go on your morning run-walk or to watch your guilty-pleasure TV show on your tablet only on the exercise bike. Or buy yourself some cute, comfy athleisure clothes to wear only when you're actually going to yoga (or Pilates or barre).
Spread it out
When life is just that busy, it's daunting or even impossible to escape to the gym or studio for an hour. When you simply can't make it a priority, all is not lost! Set an alarm on your phone to go off every 50 minutes (or actually pay attention to those move alerts on your Fitbit) and get up and move. Walk, stretch, pull out a jump rope, perform a sun salutation, do a four-minute tabata (pick one or two exercises to do for 20 seconds on, 10 seconds rest, for eight rounds) The bottom line: Move!

Especially when you have children.
Children are loving, snuggly, persnickity, perverse little wretches.
Today we planned to go to the beach. We were supposed to leave the house at 9:30 this morning in order to catch the sea before high tide and meet Ellen and Tiff.
We woke up early, with an hour and a half to spare, and I gave Marlena her requested breakfast of apples and peanut butter and cereal. I told her we only had an hour and a half before we had to leave to meet our friends at the beach for a day of swimming and fun. She excitedly jumped around and then asked to play on the Xbox.
"Er... no," I said. ""You need to eat your breakfast, so we can go to the beach."
And here is where the good deed is punished. Sad that she was not allowed to spend the hour before the beach on the Xbox, Marlena defiantly settled at the table, set her ankles up on it, and slowly, painfully picked up a single frosted mini wheat, and began to gnaw delicately on it's edge.
Sighing and shaking my head, I went about my packing of snacks, dressing of baby, and otherwise preparing to spend the day doing something fun with my children. Occasionally I would toss out to Marlena that she needed to eat, as I would not be spending six dollars on a crappy piece of pizza on the boardwalk if she failed to fill up on breakfast. I would also not be getting her fast food.
An hour passed. It was 15 minutes until departure time. She had managed to consume about 5 frosted mini wheats, and one apple slice. Argh.
Finally I told her to finish getting ready. She meandered up stairs, spent about 20 minutes in the bathroom without managing to brush her teeth, and only when I yelled up "If you are not ready and down here in ten minutes we are NOT GOING!!" did she actually scurry to brush her teeth and hair, and put on her shoes.
Of course, by now I was grumpy, having spent the morning dealing with She-Who-Will-Not-Be-Fed, instead of getting to engage in the excitement of beach trip preparation.
About 10 minutes into the drive the comments started:
"Ooh..a Wendy's!" "Look mom! A McDonald's." "Mom, can I get Ice cream?"
I just don't get it. Why, why on earth, would she decide to goad me to the point of canceling the trip?? Does she like me in a bad mood? Argh! Of course, my mood was not improved by carting the huge bag of supplies, beach umbrella, and baby to the beach. Nor was I cheered by the bouts of crying Oliver engaged in. I did cheer up when Marlena, Oliver, and I went down to the water and splashed a bit. Pictured here:
It was also nice to see the kids splashing, and to hang out, however briefly, with Ellen and Tiff.
However, the trip was fairly stressful for me. I swear, I am at the point where leaving the house at all is simply too much trouble. Maybe I will become a hermit.

No good deed goes unpunished.

Boxing Day means one thing to me and that thing is not turkey sandwiches (I don't do sandwiches), it means sales. And I was on a goddamn mission. If I do say so myself, I was a machine, transformer-level and I stormed everywhere I wanted to assault with my cash in 4 hours – that's a personal best.
That evening I'd booked us into Buddakan. This is the place where Carrie & Big had their rehearsal dinner in Sex and The City (The Movie) where Samantha yells "Hey dick-wad, I'm speaking" (epic moment). Buddakan is even more beautiful in person, the atmosphere is dark and sexy (weird when you're with your parents but it's whatever) and the food is next level delicious. I love Asian fusion and this is the best I've had – sorry not sorry Nobu and Hakkasan.
On day 8, I went to my appointment at Anastasia Beverly Hills (yes, the brow queen) Brow Studio in Sephora. My brows where taking up too much real estate on my face, so they needed to be taken care of, and aside from the fact that the woman who did my brows was, quite possibly, the rudest woman in New York – I was happy with the outcome. To be honest I'm surprised she didn't sear off a brow out of spite (she seemed the type).

Hey guys, Jana here,
Seth Grahame-Smith is putting some distance between himself and the novels that rocketed him to stardom ('Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter' and 'Pride and Prejudice and Zombies') by turning his eye to directing. The project in question isn't an adaptation to one of his novels, but to 'The Flash'.
The Warner Bros. comic book movie based on the DC Entertainment character was being looked at as a project for the duo from 'The Lego Movie', Phil Lord and Christopher Miller, the pair have taken another vehicle launching them into the 'Star Wars' world and have left 'The Flash' rudderless. This is where Grahame-Smith will step in, he will be writing the film and making his directorial debut for a feature.
While working in his lab during a storm one night, a bolt of lightning strikes a tray of chemicals soaking police scientist Barry Allen with its contents. Now able to move at super-speed, Barry becomes The Flash protecting Central City from the threats it faces. Flash is already looking at a release date of March 3, 2018 and a star attached, Ezra Miller. Miller's Flash, Barry Allen, will be introduced in 'Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice' and then he will appear again in 'Justice League Part 1′ which will debut in the summer of 2017.

A comprehensive biography of the famed reformer.
Biographical works about Martin Luther (1483-1546) abound. Here, former history professor Schilling (Early Modern European Civilization and Its Political and Cultural Dynamism, 2008, etc.) seeks to capture "the uncontaminated Luther." As he writes, "this book is not about a Luther in whom we can find the spirit of our own time; this book is about…a Luther whose thoughts and actions are out of kilter with the interests of later generations." The author portrays Luther in the context of his own time, but the long narrative is rather rambling and far better suited to academics than to general readers. Schilling begins with an in-depth exploration of Luther's family background and youth, utilizing the name Luder, which Luther used up until his activism began in earnest. The author goes beyond the scope of most biographies by detouring into lengthy histories of towns involved in Luther's story, the political landscape of the era, and profiles of individuals who were important in Luther's life. Even Luther's choice of clothing is carefully discussed. The further Schilling moves into the course of Luther's story, the more intriguing his exploration of the sociopolitical events that framed the birth of the Reformation. The author makes it a point to dispute myths, none greater than Luther's nailing the famed 95 theses to the Wittenberg Church door—he notes that if the list was nailed there at all, it was probably not done by Luther, and it was certainly not a dramatic event. Throughout, Schilling admirably avoids the fraught territory of psychoanalysis. His work will appeal most to readers who have exhausted other biographies of Luther and are looking for further minutia about the subject. For general readers seeking a meaningful but accessible biography, there are better choices, such as Derek Wilson's Out of the Storm (2008).
An academic achievement with limited appeal for the nonscholarly audience.

By today's new 'Church Leadership' standards Jesus was a clueless leader who obviously wasn't in tune with the 'worship experience' needs of His time and culture. Fact is, when you read the New Testament biographies you don't read about Jesus discussing the latest leadership philosophies, church branding strategies, church marketing practices or the latest ideas for designing and creating holistic audio visual environments to help create the perfect mood for people to have an engaging worship experience.
Instead, when you read the New Testament you discover that Jesus often taught outside and Jesus' teaching events were far from seeker-sensitive. When you compare Jesus' leadership practices to the new and improved leadership principles of Rick Warren, Bill Hybels, Leadership Network and others you'd have to conclude that Jesus was a complete failure as a leader and was in the dark when it came to meeting the felt needs of His target market.
A prime example of Jesus' utter cluelessness is found in the Gospel of Mark chapter 8. In the opening verses of that chapter we learn that Jesus held, for lack of a better term, a three day long "outdoor church conference" where He was the featured speaker. Here's what Mark records about the event.
"In those days, when again a great crowd had gathered, and they had nothing to eat, he called his disciples to him and said to them, "I have compassion on the crowd, because they have been with me now three days and have nothing to eat. And if I send them away hungry to their homes, they will faint on the way. And some of them have come from far away." (Mark 8:1–3)

METAIRIE, La. � Reggie Bush said Thursday that his decision to relinquish his Heisman Trophy should not be seen as an admission that he and his family improperly accepted cash and gifts from sports agents while he played for USC.
�It�s definitely not an admission of guilt. It�s me showing respect to the Heisman Trophy itself and to the people who came before me and the people coming after,� Bush said after practice with the New Orleans Saints.
�I just felt like it was the best thing to do, the most respectful thing to do because obviously I do respect the Heisman, I do respect all the things it stands for,� Bush said. �I felt just to kind of silence all the talk around it, all the negativity around it. I felt like this would be the best decision to do right now so I could focus.�
Bush said he consulted family and close associates before making a decision that some of those close to him opposed.
�My mom and dad didn�t want me to give it back,� Bush said. �That�s just the motherly and fatherly nature of parents. They understand it at the end of the day. They understand I�m a grown man and I�ve got to make my own decisions and this is a learning experience for me and anybody else coming after me. ... All I can do is grow stronger from here.�
Permanent lights will spruce up Big House
ANN ARBOR, Mich. � The Big House is about to get a lot brighter.
The University of Michigan has decided to spend $1.8 million to add permanent lights at the venerable stadium. The school�s board of regents approved the project Thursday that was recommended by athletic director Dave Brandon and executive VP Timothy Slottow.
�It�s going to be better for our fans in the stadium and those watching the broadcast,� Brandon said. �It�ll lead to less wear and tear on our newly renovated stadium and over time, it will be a financially good decision, too.�
Brandon said the HD-quality lights will perfectly illuminate Michigan�s hockey game against Michigan State this winter and next year�s nighttime football game against Notre Dame.
The school has been using temporary lights at football games that ended after dusk. The new lights are expected to be in place before the Wolverines play the Spartans on Dec. 11.

When: Friday, July 27, 2012
With Who: My baby
Where: At the house
How: Redbox
Why: Spending some daddy/daughter time with my little one
Need more info? You know what to do
You know, every once in a while a movie can really surprise you. Most times, any parent searching for a movie to watch with your kids knows that generally you're going to be tortured by watching something that you normally wouldn't watch. The object is to find a movie that's tolerable to you and entertaining for them.
For mine, I also have another challenge. To find one that's not scary. Shouldn't really be that difficult except my daughter is afraid of her own shadow. She also will define an entire movie by a scary part; even if that part only last for one or two minutes in the movie.
With all this in mind, I came across this one on my iphone screen while surfing Redbox inventory at the closest machine to my job.
She saw the first one and while she wasn't exactly ranting and raving about it, she didn't hate it either. She loves music so I thought she would like the first one more. I mean, come on, singing and dancing Penguins for crying out loud.
Penguins aren't scary and this one, no doubt, would have more singing and dancing was what I assumed. She's watching it. She agrees.
I pop it in just ready to spend time with her and unwind after a trying Friday at work. I don't expect much and in fact I had my night cap on the table stand next to the couch I was sitting on.
The following 90+ minutes surprised me more than I can explain. In all honesty, this is a surprisingly good movie. I mean really. Not in a sense of 'there's nothing better to do with my time' kinda good. But in the 'wow I didn't think I'd be alert and paying attention through the whole movie' kinda good.
Of course, my daughter was highly uninterested. But that's because she's in a phase now where if it's not Barbie or something to do with princesses, it's beneath her majesty. There's even a couple Barbie Princess movies that exists that she loves. Since she is only interested in what she's interested in right now, most other things will not keep her attention.
I knew that going in. Thought we were both gonna fumble through it and go on about the rest of our weekend.
But it turned out to be much more. I actually found myself laughing out loud several times. That wasn't it though. The story was actually very captivating and well-written.
My thoughts:
- I don't care what anyone says, Robin Williams is hilarious in voice over animated work. He's the reason why Aladdin was one of my favorite animated movies growing up (still love it) and he plays two roles in this one, although only one of them is supposed to be funny. Yet I've never been a big fan of his standup. Go figure
- I really like Pink's voice as a singer. It's powerful and she's very talented. Even more noticeable when you can't see her, you can only hear her voice. On that note, it was funny to see such a powerful talent coming out of an awkward looking Penguin.
- Speaking of which, God definitely gave Penguins a raw deal in the way they walk, er, waddle, er, shimmy, er….whatever they do. It's just awkward.
- "That's not a trio, there are only three of them"
- You'll be surprised at how well executed the main theme is here. It's about finding yourself and what you're capable of doing if you're allowed to even think you can fly. Pretty deep stuff.
I recommend this movie to anyone even if you don't have kids. I don't know how successful it was or even if it was released in theaters or went straight to dvd, but I promise you it's worth the watch.
25 to go…..

The beautiful Wrigley Marine Science Center and the George and Mary Lou Boone Center for Science and Environmental Leadership on Catalina Island
The 2013 Vespucci Institute on Synthesizing Population, Health, and Place intended to discuss the theoretical and practical aspects that connect population, health and place from a holistic perspective. Traditional notions of space and place offer only a limited view of what is needed in practice, and do not prepare you for applications in the real world. To fill this gap, the week draws on real-life experiences in a global setting, contrasting the approaches used by demographers, health and spatial scientists.
Important trends related to health GIS include: (1) the transformation of health data and its availability through initiatives at Health and Human Services that seek to make data widely available and to encourage innovative use of the data; (2) the development of new technologies for sensing of the environment related directly to health exposures such as miniaturized, wearable sensors; (3) new initiatives fostering development of cutting edge technologies for exploiting new data sources and analytical approaches for improving human health; (4) the emergence of games for health, that seek to encourage salubrious health behaviors through gaming, social networks, and goal-oriented behaviors; and (5) the rapid advances in place-based "omics", that are providing geographically-referenced data on the genetic and biological determinants of human disease.
The confluence of these trends may be viewed through the lens of "genetic GIS", which seeks to increase our understanding of human health as the interactions between genetics ("-omics" writ large); behavior (the mediator of disease-related exposures through the major exposure routes, eating, drinking, breathing and dermal); and the environments through which individuals pass over their life course (e.g. Schaerstrom's pathogenic paths; daily, weekly and life-long activity spaces).
This institute brought together thought leaders from diverse disciplines revolving around these trends with senior and young scientists to learn, encourage discourse, and to explore new ideas and new approaches for understanding human health and disease.

One of the grand challenges of our time is to understand and manage the complex relationships between society and the physical environment. To meet this challenge we need a new kind of interdisciplinary science that considers the full ensemble of processes and feedbacks for a wide range of biophysical and social systems. The notion of "land function" is a new concept for cross-sector integration and for representing complex system dynamics. This new approach aims to provide a comprehensive, consistent and harmonised analysis of the impacts and responses of land functions to environmental and socio-economic changes using a detailed, spatially disaggregated bottom-up approach consistent with the Drivers, Pressures, State, Impact, Response framework. Whilst this framework is used in the environmental sciences, a social-science approach suitable to model land function dynamics and interactions from local to global scales is that of simulation based modelling and in particular spatial micro-simulation. The latter is conceptually very relevant to popular computer games such as SimCity and the Sims and involves the merging of census and survey data to simulate a population of individuals within households (for different geographical units), whose characteristics are as close to the real population as it is possible to estimate. Spatial micro-simulation models can then be used to answer questions pertaining to the geographical, as well as the socio-economic impacts of government policies and to generally perform what-if scenario analysis. When attempting to link environmental and social models, key challenges include the degree of tacit knowledge, varying assumptions, and different conceptual and theoretical frameworks that create barriers and misunderstandings in the dialogue. To overcome this, it is crucial to formalize and communicate the description, and the assumptions, of the models used. These descriptions and models must be based upon robust specifications of notions like function, cause, process, pathway, rate of change, or quality, as they apply to entities in physical reality that are (in a certain way) independent of the activity of human agents. Moreover, we need descriptions and models of the interaction of humans with their environments. For example, intentional agents (individually or as groups) act upon the physical environment by causing certain processes that change certain qualities. The Vespucci Institute will therefore explore the theoretical basis, assumptions, concepts, and components of the land function and spatial micro-simulation models, and analyse how we can move towards developing an ontology of land function and land function dynamics and a collection of models that are tentatively consistent with the logical constraints of this ontology.

It feels like it's already December. We bought our tree last night and it's now in our living room waiting to be decorated. But I'm thinking I'll get the dead mums and rotted pumpkins off my porch before I put the lights on the tree. I guess now I have weekend goals.
And since we are officially in the Christmas season, I thought I'd share a couple of good gift ideas that are on sale right now.
This Barefoot dreams stripe blanket is amazingly soft and on sale for $49.97 but normally $120. It's only left in the navy, but I'm telling you it's like curling up on a cloud.
And I also love this Pottery Barn cozy pom pom throw that's on sale for $31 with free shipping.
I guess it's an indication of how tired I am these days that I am so into various throw blankets.
Another great gift option is one of the Hummingbird Farms gift boxes. They have a deal right now where the code BIGBOO16 gets you an additional $16 off any of their already value priced gift boxes or you can use the code BIGBOO37 if you're buying two gift boxes for $16 off each box plus an additional $5 in savings for two boxes going to same address.
And here are some cute things I found this week that might make a good gift for yourself or for someone on your list:
I bought this a couple of weeks ago and it is the perfect sweater. And I met Gulley for lunch this week and she had it on and I complimented her on how much I loved her sweater without realizing it's the same one I own. I guess I'm true to what I like. But it's just that great and it's on sale for $27.90.
It comes in plum, light gray, and camel. I have the camel. Gulley has the gray. And now I kind of want the gray and the plum. It's long enough to wear with leggings which is an added bonus.
2. topshop brush stripe ombre beanie
I'm going to be in New Hampshire next week so I'm really into the beanies right now because I will get to see what an actual winter feels like. This cute little beanie is $22 and also comes in another color striped option.
My current love of a chunky scarf is also related to my upcoming trip to New Hampshire. But I love this and I think I'll also be glad to have it during all the January and February soccer games I have coming up in my life. It's $32.
How cute is this bag from Target? I'm in love with the sporty red stripe that gives it a little something extra. It's $39.99.
Speaking of good sweaters, I have one that's similar to this in a mocha color and it's my favorite thing to throw on for those South Texas winter days that aren't that cold. It's lightweight, a great length and super soft. It's $42.
I love a buffalo plaid and I love these Old Navy thermal sleep leggings. They aren't quite as good as the ones Gap had last year, but they're pretty close and make a great gift. They are $19.99 but I bet they have a sale this weekend.
7. j.crew factory fair isle sweater
I think a Fair Isle sweater is a great classic look and I really love this white one with the red and navy. It's on sale for $39.50.
8. j.crew turtleneck dress in supersoft yarn
I've been looking for a sweater dress. Madewell had a great one but it's totally sold out and I can't talk about it because I'm too sad. But I like this one from J.Crew. It's $118 but 40% off with the code SNUGGLE at checkout and comes in a couple of other colors including an alpine green that looks interesting.
I really like these earrings because they're different from anything I own, yet simple and still classic. They are $16.
10. toms spruce plaid felt women's classics
How cute are these plaid Toms? They are $59.95 and also come in a red and black plaid.
That's it for today.
Have a good Friday.

Hastings summer intern Joshua LaJoie, an English major entering his junior year at Wheaton College, recently had the opportunity to learn more about a special Integrity project on Martha's Vineyard.
"A simple expression of an artist's retreat finds itself well settled among the surrounding nature which inspired it."
— Patrick Gordon, A.W. Hastings Products & Services Consultant
Within the natural confines of Martha's Vineyard, among the New England firs, lies a newly constructed structure for an artist to call Eden. The size of the structure is not overwhelming, yet it overwhelms. The walls are not decorated, yet they are decorative. The artist studio is by any measure small and simple; however, this is a place of astonishment.
The design will seek to service the creative impulses of an artist. The environment surrounding the building will provide plenty of fodder for inspiration, accompanied by the ambient sounds of songbirds and leaves rustling with the wind. Hastings Product and Services Representative Patrick Gordon, who worked with Portsmouth NH architect Robert Westhelle on the project, said that the cabin "will serve to inspire and offer a deep sense of relaxation. The space will be both a spiritual and intellectual getaway." Ultimately the area will act as a refuge from the distracting complexities of the outside world.
One of the elements used to create such an ideal aesthetic on the building was Integrity Windows. The artist decided on Integrity Wood-Ultrex in Pebble Gray with pre-finished interior white. Pebble Gray was selected to complement the weathering of the exterior cedar to a silver gray. The cabin will not have a heated interior, thus Integrity Windows are entrusted with providing heat retention. Due to its rural location, the Cabin relies on a certain degree of durability – durability that Integrity can certainly deliver.
Natural light is key to the cabin's experience. With awnings placed high on the wall and throughout, a soft ambient light enters and encourages concentration. A wall, however, is left bare for the artist to hang his work in honor and speculation. The walls will endure as a sanctuary for the artist's emotional, yet physical expressions.
Integrity has certainly made this project whole, as light is a major contributor to the final presentation of art. Not only is Integrity able to provide sufficient natural lighting for the creative spaces, but it has also provided strong heat insulation with the durability of Ultrex material suitable for all climate conditions.
Everyone needs a place they can call their own personal paradise. This New England reservation is just one example of how creativity and materials can come together to create just that.
Integrity and the Marvin Family of Brands offer options suitable for all inspirational projects, and can play an integral part in bringing your own Eden to life.

Ripping with Borat
Load up your daypack with horse sausage. Soon it will be time to ski Kazakhstan. The nation that gave the world Borat (well, not really) now hopes to become the Switzerland of central Asia. Following a failed bid to host the 2014 Winter Olympics, the Kazakh Ministry of Tourism announced last spring that it will develop six new "world-class resorts and improve Chimbulak—the 10,000-foot-high former training grounds of the Soviet ski team. Kazakhstan, a former Soviet state four times the size of Texas, boasts the massive Tian Shan range, which features peaks above 20,000 feet and more than 1,500 glaciers. But despite the wealth of terrain and all-important altitude, Kazakhstan is still terra incognita for most skiers.
"We hope the resorts attract tourists from Russia, Western Europe, and the United States, says Talgat Kaliev, deputy mission chief of the Kazakhstan Embassy in Washington, DC. Luring tourists to the remote country could be difficult, however. Almaty, the former capital and Kazakhstan's largest city, is a seven-hour flight—from Germany. But developers are moving forward, scrambling to complete facility improvements ahead of the 2011 Asian Winter Games, a competition to be hosted in Almaty. Sounds like the plans to "make benefit glorious nation of Kazakhstan are in full swing.

The typical signs of varicose veins are familiar: bulging, discolored veins near the surface of your skin that indicate blood is not flowing properly inside your legs. The visible indications reveal problems that could lead to pain, bleeding, open sores or worse.
Occasionally, a vein deeper in your leg will develop varicose symptoms. You won't be able to see it but it can still cause the same problems as the diseased veins you can see:
- Leg pain and cramping
- Heaviness or restlessness in the leg
- Swelling in the leg or ankle
- Fatigue
Interior varicose veins can also develop blood clots, which are dangerous when they break loose and travel to different points in your body where they can cause strokes or other serious problems.
If you have pain or other symptoms in your leg, a radiologist or phlebologist can perform an ultrasound that will reveal whether any deep veins are diseased. Varicose veins can be successfully treated wherever they are in your body. Come in for a free assessment and your doctor will talk to you about the next steps to take to address your varicose veins, whether you can see them or not.

Entertainment One (eOne) and Colin Firth and Ged Doherty's Raindog Films are pleased to announce that Helen Mirren (The Queen, Red) and Aaron Paul (TV's Breaking Bad, Need for Speed) are confirmed to join Colin Firth in the upcoming Eye in the Sky. In this contemporary international thriller set in the shadowy world of remotely piloted "drone" warfare, Mirren will star as Colonel Michelle Madden, a military intelligence officer in command of a top secret drone operation. Paul takes the focal role of American drone pilot Steve Watts.
As previously announced Firth, who is also attached as part of an ensemble cast, and Doherty will produce the film alongside Xavier Marchand who will oversee production for eOne, in close collaboration with eOne's SVP of Filmed Entertainment Benedict Carver. Academy Award winner Gavin Hood (Tsotsi, Ender's Game, X-Men Origins: Wolverine) is confirmed to direct.
Active sales negotiations are already well-underway for President Harold van Lier in Cannes where eOne Films International is launching sales of Eye in the Sky in the US, and in all territories outside of the UK, Canada, Benelux, Spain, and Australia/New Zealand, where eOne will directly distribute the film.
Written by BAFTA award-winner Guy Hibbert, this tense action thriller and profoundly moving morality tale centers around London-based Madden (Mirren), set to remotely command a top secret drone operation to capture a group of dangerous terrorists from their safe-house in Nairobi, Kenya.
The carefully planned mission suddenly escalates from a "capture" to a "kill" operation when Madden realizes that the terrorists are about to embark on a deadly suicide mission, which would result in the catastrophic deaths of many innocent civilians. Meanwhile American drone pilot Steve Watts (Paul) is poised to destroy the safe-house when a nine year old girl enters the kill zone just outside the walls of the targeted house. With unforeseen collateral damage now entering the equation and with the volatility of the situation increasing with every second that passes, Madden must now pass the mission's authority up the "kill chain" to politicians and lawyers, including British Foreign secretary James Willett, who must weigh both the legality and morality of action and inaction.
Production is expected to begin in South Africa on 12 September 2014.

Chocolate Peel Off Face Mask For An Instant Glow
When you hear the word "Chocolate," you associate it with "Indulgence." When you're feeling low or when your hormones are acting weird, take a bar of chocolate and you will automatically feel good. But what if you use it on your face? It will definitely make you feel drop-dead gorgeous!
Not only is eating chocolate good for the body (dark chocolate that has a high percentage of cocoa) but when applied to the skin, you will immediately see the difference. You'll have a softer, smooth and glowing skin.
Chocolate is packed with various nutrients that help to break down free radicals and hydrate the skin, removing blemishes and stimulating the production of collagen. Dark or bitter chocolate contains a lot of antioxidants, meaning it provides tons of benefits for the skin, like it helps to reduce wrinkles, moisturizes the skin, soothes irritated skin, and improves blood circulation.
Nowadays, it's very easy to find beauty products that have chocolate as its main ingredient. They come in the form of face masks, soaps, body lotions, exfoliators and so on, and no doubt all these products are good, but have you tried making your own homemade chocolate peel off mask?
If you haven't, then you have come to the right place. Today, we will talk about the benefits of chocolate and how to make a chocolate peel off mask.
Chocolate Peel Off Mask:
In order to make a chocolate peel off mask, we will need three ingredients: cocoa powder, brown sugar, and honey.
• 1/3rd cup of unsweetened cocoa powder
• 2 tablespoons of brown sugar
• ¼th cup of organic honey
• In a bowl, mix 1/3rd cup of unsweetened cocoa powder, 2 tablespoons of brown sugar and ¼th cup of organic honey. Make sure you mix them properly.
• Now, apply this mixture evenly on your face and neck.
• Let the mixture dry on your face.
• Once it's dry, gently peel off the mask. Massage your face gently while rinsing it with water.
• Use this peel off mask one time in a week to attain a glowing skin.
Benefits Of Brown Sugar
Brown sugar is loaded with numerous health benefits, but it can also be used as a beauty product.
Brown sugar is an excellent exfoliating agent that helps to remove dead skin cells from the skin, leaving it looking clean and fresh.
Benefits Of Honey:
Honey contains antiseptic and antioxidant properties that help to heal damaged skin cells.
It is a natural humectant, meaning it helps to lock the moisture in the skin, leaving the skin moisturized and hydrated.
Dry and dull skin can be healed by applying honey on the skin.
For oily skin, honey helps to eliminate the acne-causing bacteria, leaving the skin looking radiant and glowing.
Benefits Of Chocolate:
Dark chocolate has numerous health benefits, like it lowers bad cholesterol, gets rid of eczema, promotes cell growth, protects the heart, improves blood flow, reduces stress hormones, etc. It also provides you a healthy and glowing skin. Below we have 6 benefits of chocolate for the skin. Let's take a look.
1. Hydrates the skin:
The high antioxidant properties and vitamin C in chocolate keep the skin moisturized and hydrated. So, if your skin feels rough and dry, use chocolate to treat that problem.
2. It's a natural moisturizer:
Cocoa beans are rich in oleic acid, palmitic acid, and stearic acid, a.k.a. fatty acids, that help to keep the skin moisturized. If your skin is dry, rough and dull, treat it with the goodness of cocoa beans.
3. Protects the skin from damage:
The harmful UV rays of the sun cause a lot of skin damage like wrinkles, fine line, age spots, etc. So, chocolate contains antioxidant properties that help protect the skin from the damage caused by free radicals. Chocolates are also packed with flavonoids that help to filter the harmful UV rays of the sun and thus acts as a protective shield.
4. Soothes skin irritation:
Chocolate contains anti-inflammatory properties and is very gentle on the skin. So, if you have inflammation or redness on the skin, then chocolate will help soothe the skin. It's best for people with sensitive skin.
5. Fights stress:
Stress is one of the reasons for premature ageing and wrinkles to appear sooner. So, the antioxidant properties found in chocolate can help lower stress level and therefore provide a glowing and fresh skin.
6. Cleans and detoxifies the skin:
The antioxidant properties that are found in chocolate help to nourish and clean the skin. Chocolate, when mixed with caffeine, acts as an exfoliator. It helps to remove the dead skin cells, therefore, allowing the new skin cells to come up.
So, the next time you want to treat your skin, pamper it with a chocolate peel off mask and get a glowing skin in an instant.

Changes, unexpected items and overruns can pop up often and at any time, making it challenging to stay within a budget. The most important step to managing your budget happens before you even start construction. The more time you spend gathering estimates and creating an accurate budget, the easier it will be to manage costs during the project and the better your project will go. Gathering Estimates Often, homeowners try to quickly estimate the entire cost of their project instead of looking at each area individually. They often think of only the big components of the project and miss many of the small costs, which can add up and cause concerns with your budget mid-project. Although it will take longer, gathering bids and doing cost estimates for each area will provide a much more accurate estimate of what it will cost to build your home. People often discover that when they get written bids, they are for more than first anticipated. Compeer Financial's sworn construction statement is a great resource. It lists the costs typically associated with building a new home and is a great tool for creating your budget. Acting as Your Own General Contractor One of the great things about working with Compeer is that we allow individuals to act as their own general contractor. This can be a great cost savings for individuals who choose this option. Planning for the Unexpected Once you have all of your written bids and total up the project cost, it is recommended that you add 10 percent on to the total budget for a contingency or overrun account. This will keep any bid or line item that changes or goes over budget from derailing the cost of your entire project. Remembering Related Costs When many people estimate the cost of building a new home, they often focus on the construction needs and forget the associated costs when building a home. Don't forget to factor in other costs, such as temporary housing while you build, closing costs and title fees, when determining how much you can spend on your new home.

(This review contains minor spoilers. Read at your own discretion.)
In year 11, I did a presentation on the Columbine shooting. A lot of effort and research went into it. I did my best to explain what and why it had happened. I listed different reasons, possible causes, and the many impacts it had towards the future of the United States. I tried to be logical and sensible with as many details as I could. But there was only so much I could do to explain the tragedy. I came to the conclusion (though I didn't say it aloud during my presentation) that the best way to really know why is to see things through the eyes of the perpetrator. Forgive Me, Leonard Peacock is probably as close as we can get to any sort of closure on this kind of event.
The summary on Goodreads says:
"Today is Leonard Peacock's birthday. It is also the day he hides a gun in his backpack. Because today is the day he will kill his former best friend, and then himself, with his grandfather's P-38 pistol.
But first he must say good-bye to the four people who matter most to him: his Humphrey Bogart-obsessed next-door neighbour, Walt; his classmate, Baback, a violin virtuoso; Lauren, the Christian homeschooler he has a crush on; and Herr Silverman, who teaches the high school's class on the Holocaust. Speaking to each in turn, Leonard slowly reveals his secrets as the hours tick by and the moment of truth approaches."
Leonard takes the stage, front and centre, right from the start. We get a strong sense of his character through his voice—it's captivating and morbidly intimate. He has a bit of a superiority complex, but he's not pretentious. He constantly projects his thoughts and feelings onto others. He says things carelessly and thoughtlessly. He manipulates and guilt-trips people. He's going to die soon, anyway, so he feels entitled to do whatever he wants.
But his asshole-ish behaviour is merely a façade, a symptom of his 'mission'. In reality, he's lonely, confused, and desperate. His delinquency is a cry for help. He's waiting for a sign to tell him not to do everything he's about to do, that it's all going to turn out alright in the end, so he can just stop this nonsense and go live his life in peace—whatever peace may be. But he doesn't know what it looks like or what he's waiting for in the first place and that scares him. And so he continues with his 'mission'.
"And yet at the same time, I want someone to figure it out, to piece together all the hints I've been dropping all day long, for years and years even, but no one ever figures it out, and I'm beginning to see why people go mad and do awful things."
There's a huge amount of psychology that can't be summarised in a single review, but I'd be lying if I said I don't understand Leonard or relate to him. In some parts, anyway. I get why he does certain things. I see the logic behind his words. Some of them even resonate with me. Make of that what you will.
Not all of this book is dedicated to doom and gloom, though. There are bits of humour in it that had me chuckling, mostly at the expense of Leonard's brief encounter with Christianity (he's a devout atheist, so this may not go down well with those who are, you know, not). The chapters are interspersed with letters entitled 'Letters From the Future' that provides an outlook of a deeper, more concealed side of Leonard—his hopeful side. The letters reveal what he wishes his future was like. It's filled with things he wants to see and hear: people supporting him openly and loving him unconditionally. My favourite letter was the one from his future daughter. There's something about a child telling you to hold on and that they love you that's different than when other people say it. I guess it's because kids mean what they say most of the time, even if they don't know it sometimes. And in their eyes, sometimes you're their hero.
"Writing those letters made me feel even more fucked-up."
"I got to thinking that I wanted to live in that fictional world now—that the better world in the letters made me want to exit this world. That's probably what led to me being here with a gun in my hand."
This book makes you ask questions about your own life. If you knew you were going to die—by choice—sometime in the near future, would you stick around until the end? Would you allow yourself to be saved when given the chance? Who would you say goodbye to? What would you want to do or give to them to remember you by? Why them?
I'd be lying if I said I don't think about this every now and again.
Forgive Me, Leonard Peacock is a harrowing tale of morality, depression, life, death, and hope, different from most YA books I've read so far. It makes you ask questions about life and death and you'll put the book down for a moment to think about it. There is a certain allure to its prose that makes it all the more engrossing and will have you on the edge of your seat and flicking through one page after another.
If you've made it this far into my post, then thank you for reading! Have you read this book? If so, what did you think? And if not, would you be interested in doing so? Let me know what you think and feel free to share any recommendations below.

Is Chivalry Officially Dead???
A few weeks ago I was headed to work to begin the daunting task of surviving yet another mundane Monday. As I headed out of the parking garage I noticed a younger gentleman a few steps ahead of me walking in the same direction. We briskly headed toward the doors as I struggled to carry my tote bag, purse, and sunglasses. Just before exiting the lower level of the garage, I looked down to watch my step on the last stair. Suddenly I looked back up and… BAM! The heavy glass door shut just inches away from my face. The gentleman (actually not so much anymore) who was walking ahead of me continued across the street, oblivious to the act of rudeness that had just occurred. To be quite frank my level of irritation went from a zero to a ten immediately. To think of how extremely close we were in proximity left me perplexed. Reflecting back to that moment, I had to at least be close enough to reach out and tap him on the shoulder. However we could not have been further apart, when it relates to values and respect for old fashioned tradition. It probably would have taken little to no extra effort for him to hold the door open for just a few seconds longer, but for some reason or another he chose not to. I remember thinking, "Where is a man's chivalry when a woman truly needs it?"
As I attempted to calm my nerves by thinking "happy thoughts" my mind continued to wander else where. I found myself reflecting on all the dates I've gone on in the past year. How many times have I had my door opened? How often has my chair been pulled out for me? Had anyone taken the time to assist me in taking off my coat? Did they remember to place themselves on the outside of the sidewalk (closest to the street), so as to protect me from some unforeseen accident with a motorist by chance? Humm… Most of the guys that I've dated were considerate enough to open the door for me when we entered establishments but very seldom had they opened car doors. On top of all that, they hardly ever cared enough to walk me to my front door, that is, unless they were expecting something at the end of the evening.
Years ago (before my time) it was normal for a man to provide extra care towards a woman's needs and safety. I remember how negatively my grandfather thought of young men who refused to introduce themselves to him and my grandmother when picking up one of their daughters for a date. Although my grandparents were considered very traditional God-fearing people this was a way of life all throughout the country years ago. Now try to fast forward to the new millennium…Many parents in this generation seem to have no idea who their children are going out with, let alone where their children are. Which brings me to this point… Is it possible that the lack of chivalry that is displayed in the younger generation stems from the shortage of good fathers or good parenting altogether?
As I watched the clip of the gentlemen (and I use the term loosely) who has been nick-named "The Bailer" I have to wonder where the disconnect occurred. For those of you who are not in the know, here is a brief synopsis of what occurred. Last week during the Houston Astros game, a couple (Bo & Sarah) in attendance unknowingly became the target of a speeding ball. Chris Johnson, who was up for bat, sent a foul ball flying in their direction. As the fast traveling ball was headed towards them Bo stood on his feet in hopes of catching it. However, the ball neared the couple and in fear of actually being hit Bo dodged the ball, bailing on his girlfriend Sarah. As a result, Sarah was struck with the foul ball instead. Because this awkward moment was caught of camera, this couple has become quite famous, and has since broken up. If you'd like to see the actual footage you can You Tube "Bo The Bailer". There is no way anyone can refute the fact that this Bo character did not have a chivalrous bone in his body. I admit that the clip of this incident is quite humorous but his reaction represents one of the problems present in the generation of men we are raising.
While a great number of people view the idea of chivalry as being antiquated, I am sure there are many more people who respect traditional values and beliefs. The question is, what can we do to make sure that chivalry does not die? In my opinon this responsibility falls mostly on the parents. We have to teach our daughters to expect chivalry. Truly they are delicate stones worthy of being treated with the utmost respect. We must also teach our sons how to treat women or better yet ladies. If the fathers aren't present, moms have to step up and carry the torch. But... it doesn't end there. Let us make room for mentors and individuals who are considered role models to revive chivalry in the younger generation. Everyone has a responsibility to share in the knowledge, values, and traditions that they have learned. Otherwise, we'll raise a self centered and misdirected generation who have no regard for values or tradition. With this being said, DO YOUR PART to ensure that "Chivalry Is Dead" becomes a quote of the past.
What Do You Think
Do you believe that chilvary is officially dead?
John Wayne, as George Washington McLintock in "McLintock!", said, "You have to be a man before you're a gentlman. He fails on both counts." ... I think the "he" is now over 98% of the males in the Millennial Generation. Today's youth has too much apathy and not enough empathy. Chivalry, in my opinion, starts with empathy.
My son still holds open the door for people he doesn't even know and though I don't say a word it melts me inside to watch it. I make my girls hold doors for people too so they learn to see the need not the deed only.
wow! Well said dashingscorpio!
According to Steve Harvey "Chivalry" isn't dead, It's just not required."
However I'm incline to believe there is something more to it than that. If chivalry is dead it's not because men changed the rules, it's because a large segment of the female population changed it.
Some view certain acts of chivalry as being sexist or chauvinistic. It became a challenge to demand treatment as an "equal" and at the same time be treated as "special". A guy would not pull out his male bosses chair for him to sit in and most people would not think it's appropriate for him to pull out a chair for his female boss.
This man treated you exactly how he would have treated a man. However I do think some people are just rude and had it been me I probably would even had held the door open for a guy who was struggling to gather himself as he walked.
Rudeness cuts both ways though.
I can't tell you how many times in my life I have held a door open for a woman and she walked in without saying "Thank you" or didn't acknowledge me period.
She acts as if the door were run by remote control.
I can just imagine a guy calling a woman on it.
She'll most likely say, "I never asked you to open a door for me!"
Maybe some women think if they talk to a guy he'll try and pick them up or something. They don't want to feel indebted to someone they're not interested in.
Paying a compliment to a woman "the wrong way" can also be construed as sexual harassment.(Harassment is subjective. In most instances if a woman is interested in a man it's not harassment. It's not "what was said or done but WHO said or did it that determines if it is harassment") I think a lot of men have decided to just be "nice" to women they're interested in. They treat the rest the same as they would a guy.
Not long ago Dateline on ABC did an experiment with an attractive woman having a flat tire and they also put her in the same scenario dressed in a "fat suit". A lot more men offered to help her when she was thin.
Maybe chivalry isn't dead. It's just reserved for women that men are attracted to.
hmmm! Mr Micks, I do not know what to say! But I guess you are totally right. Mrs Ellana317, more emphasies should have been placed on weaker set of people such as the disabled, the non-affluent, the maltreated and etc. I think these are the weaker people we should show politeness. Besides, just as Micks said, we all deserve it. Do you know that statistics shows that the most authoritative set of bosses are the woman? Mr Professor used to say that a woman's government is not easy to tolerate. Give a woman power and see what happens next. Don't get me wrong, your hub has really enriched me, but I think more emphasies should be placed on the 'weak' ones as those who by chance fall under other people's grace. If Sarah was the one standing in front of Bo and she noticed the ball coming towards them, she is also expected to protect him if she truly loves him. If she dodged as Bo did, she would also be criticized as Bo is been criticized now. So my point still stands, Chilvary should be analyzed not in one dimension but generally.
Nice Hub, I appreciate it.
When we talk about chivalry, courteous and considerate behaviour, especially towards weaker people, we are really talking about good old common politeness, to any one, regardless of gender. However, you seem to be suggesting that women deserve to be treated chivalrously just for being women, that they should have special treatment; sorry, women are no more deserving of special treatment than men, and that is at the request of women, all the campaigning for equality, that means everything.
Is the world less chivalrous as a result, yes, and a worse place for it.

Teaching Students to Read the World
For the second time in just four years, an English alumnus was named the Minnesota Teacher of the Year. One of 11 finalists, Corey Bulman (BA 1999; CEHD MEd 2006) heard his name called at a May 7 celebration hosted by Education Minnesota, the award sponsor. In his acceptance speech, Bulman said that he struggled to keep up as an elementary school child, receiving special services in English. Now he teaches high school advanced placement language arts at Mounds Westonka High School. "I love to teach because it is the most immediate way that that I can give back to society," Bulman told us. "I have always loved to read. I believe that stories connect us. Books force us to make moral choices; they challenge our convictions and build our empathy.
"I have also always believed that teaching students how to write and communicate provides them with a valuable lifelong skill," he continues. "I get the honor of living this belief every single day."
Bulman will spend the year traveling around Minnesota, talking with other teachers and teacher candidates. He'll also enjoy some "interesting perks": attendance at a Harvard University week-long class, NASA Space Camp (!), and, with a guest, the 2019 Bowl Championship Series Football National Title Game (his dad is already on board). [Tom Rademacher, BA 2004, CEHD MEd 2007, was the 2014 Minnesota Teacher of the Year.]
In your Teacher of the Year portfolio, you wrote: "I was fortunate enough to have teachers who helped foster my curiosity and sense of wonder. I have tried to provide this for my students as well." How do you do that?
By showing my students that I am a learner too. When we talk about complex themes such as love, war, violence, I don't claim to be an expert. Instead, I am committed to constructing meaning with, not for, my students. My students are free to share their ideas, but are taught how to back these ideas up with evidence and conviction.
Visitors to my classroom would notice that my students are constantly collaborating with one another. They would notice a relaxed atmosphere but also one where there are high expectations about the type of writing and discussions taking place in the room. They would notice that students are asked to back up their literary inquiry with evidence, strong thesis development, and well-constructed prose.
What was your favorite work to teach this year?
Mary Shelley's Frankenstein. My seniors are always so surprised that the narrative unfolds differently than how it has been shaped by pop culture. It is a complex novel that delves into philosophy, bioethics, religion, and human emotions. This 200-year-old book is a wonderful jumping-off point for discussing very cutting-edge, 21st-century issues.
As Minnesota Teacher of the Year, what challenges to the profession do you hope to address?
As I said in my acceptance speech, teaching is hard, but it is noble work. Part of my message will be to remind both teachers and those outside of the profession of the importance that education and educators play in the fabric of society. A quality education cannot be distilled down to a test score or a funding formula. We are teaching young people how to read the world, recognize facts, and articulate their thoughts.
What University of Minnesota English classes or professors do you most remember?
I took several of Professor Art Geffen's novel courses in the 1990s. Professor Geffen had one expectation: come prepared and be ready to speak. He taught me to defend my ideas, to understand the writer's craft, and to articulate my ideas in a scholarly fashion. Professor Josephine Lee, in Modern Drama, was exciting, passionate, and committed to her craft. She was open to our ideas and provided us with interesting assignments that pushed my thinking forward. Even though these classes occurred almost 20 years ago, I can still feel the energy of that lecture room. She provided me with a wonderful model of what a classroom teacher could and should look like for his/her students. And I am not the world's finest fiction writer or poet, but I was captivated with Professor Michael Dennis Browne's Intro to Poetry Writing class. He created the most welcoming community in any course I ever took at the U of M. He was scholarly, funny, and human. He made me think about poetry and the writing practice in ways I still hold dear to this day. He touched lives, and that is a gift I have never forgotten.
What have you read lately that you think is great?
George Saunders, Lincoln in the Bardo: I had a chance to see Saunders speak about this book when he was in Minneapolis in March. It was wonderful hearing him discuss writing approach and philosophy. He plays with form and convention in exciting ways. He is also able to capture the feelings that accompany grief and loss in ways I haven't seen before.
Colson Whitehead, Underground Railroad: Whitehead masterfully mixed realism and fantasy in this novel that made me see and understand slavery in new ways. I thought it was brilliant.
Emil Ferris, My Favorite Thing Is Monsters: How to explain this book? Ferris' graphic novel is a murder mystery, a coming-of-age story, and gorgeous pieces of art all rolled into one. It is a book that defies description, and for this reason, I highly recommend picking it up and experiencing it for yourself.

Dr. Adder
Dr. Adder is a dark science fiction novel by American writer K. W. Jeter, set in a future where the United States has largely broken down into reluctantly cooperating enclaves run by a wide variety of strongmen and warlords, with a veneer of government control that seems largely interested in controlling technology. Dr. Adder is an artist-surgeon, who modifies sexual organs of his patients to satisfy the weirdest of perversion; he is clearly depicted as a partly criminal, partly counter-cultural figure in a future Los Angeles which anticipates the cyberpunk idea of the Sprawl.

Dr. Adder is Jeter's debut novel. It was originally completed in 1972 and then published in 1984 by Bluejay Books — the first fictional work it ever published — with illustrations by Matt R. Howarth.[1][2]
According to Philip K. Dick, the publication of this book was delayed for a decade due to the extreme violence and graphic sex, and but for this delay "its impact on the field would have been enormous." [3]
Radio KCIDEdit
The novel also features an unconventional DJ, called Radio KCID, a science-fictional portrait of one of Jeter's friends, Philip K. Dick (the call sign is an anagram of DICK).[4] KCID is an old man living in Rattown, a future L.A. slum; he has a small portable transmitter, which turns him into a mobile radio station. He mostly plays old records of German opera such as Alban Berg's Wozzeck, an important element of the novel, but he also broadcasts pieces of news which mainstream media do not want to broadcast.
The novel is heavily indebted to the counterculture of the 1960s. "[KCID] had some sort of process worked out, an oracle or something. It had to do with randomly generated numbers — he had a little box, a minicomputer that lit up with seven- or eight-digit figures, I think. He told me when he had enough data worked into the system he could predict any series of events connected to Adder, a few minutes before each event actually occurred..." (Jeter, 131). This is a hint at I Ching, the Chinese oracular book Dick used to compose his 1962 novel The Man in the High Castle, but also a popular reading in the counter-cultural 1960s.
In Dr Adder music does not only have an aesthetic value. KCID plays Wozzeck, then he begins to interpret the opera by applying it to the situation of his listeners. "Hohl, alles hohl! That's the way it is, all right. Isn't that what you were just thinking? Ein Schlund, a gulf, an abyss, yawns beneath us and what can we do, friends? Some of us wait all our lives for something..." (Jeter, 135-6). This rambling monologue closely resembles those of freeform radio DJs.
Radio KCID has something else in common with counter-cultural radio: "All his broadcast equipment and tapes could fit into a suitcase — he could be anywhere in the slums with it now" (Jeter, 138). Such a mobile pirate radio is not science-fictional at all, since true underground radio existed in the 1960s in the form of illegal stations.
At the end of the novel KCID puts the microphone in front of the protagonist, Dr. Adder, so that he may speak to his "old fans, and everyone else, who never worshipped [him]" (Jeter, 246). It might be simply considered as a moment when a speaker is interviewing a celebrity — be it transgressive, underground, unconventional or not — but it can also be seen as a moment when a listener of Radio KCID (and Dr. Adder is also one of KCID's listeners) is given the opportunity to talk to "people clustered around the radios, waiting to hear [him]" (Jeter, 246). KCID probably expects that a political message will be delivered to the audience; while probably Adder's message will not be political at all, being the expression of a very personal rage (Jeter, 214).

Dear Colleagues
I was pleased to take part with Minister Simon Harris in today's announcement of six new health regions for Ireland; this is an important milestone on the way to implementing SláinteCare and improving our health service.
We want people to be able to get the health services they need, as close to home as possible, with the majority of care delivered in the community and not in acute hospitals.
The new health regions are an important step in enabling us to plan and provide better healthcare, with a shared budget to care for the people living in each region. It will mean that health service staff will have more autonomy to plan hospital and community services together, and will help us to provide more integrated care at both regional and local level.
See www.hse.ie/healthregions for further information and a map of the new health regions
Link to VIDEO
Since I joined the HSE, I have met staff right across the country who works tirelessly to deliver the best care possible, and who have great energy and ambition for constantly improving what we do, and how we do it. I'd like to thank you all for that energy and for your on-going commitment to patient care.
Integration is not new; you and your colleagues have been working to achieve it, at all levels of our services, for many years. Today's decision strengthens the commitment to integrated care and to local decision-making.
I know that structural change of this kind can be challenging, so I would like to assure you all that the next stages will involve a lot of consultation with staff, and with patients and stakeholders. This consultation will happen over the coming months, to design how the new health regions will operate, and take every opportunity to ultimately deliver better and more joined up services locally. There will be a clear roadmap developed in that time, so that any changes to people's work area will be outlined well in advance.
While that work is on-going, our team and services will continue in the current structures, focused on the job at hand – ensuring our health service is working for people, and striving to be better.
Thank you
Paul Reid, CEO
