Google is rolling out new features for YouTube creators soon, so you might want to get more information on them. One feature connects YouTube and Google+ for info marketers and everybody who wants to use both channels to boost their web presence.
Here's some news directly from the YouTubeCreator blog:
"Throughout the coming weeks, YouTube creators will begin to see the option to connect their channel with a Google+ page. Connecting with Google+ will unlock great new features for your channel, so we want you to understand all of your options. When you connect a channel with Google+, the channel will have a shared name and avatar with Google+, so making the right choice is important. A couple quick notes before starting:
If you already have a corresponding Google+ page that you'd like to connect with your channel, make sure you've added your channel's Google account as a manager of that page.
If you don't already have a Google+ page that you'd like to connect with, that's fine. The linking process will allow you to easily create a new one."
I suspect that getting all the pieces of your Google puzzle linked together gives you an advantage in page ranking, although it's probably too early to know for certain.
Riding the wave of social media connections is no longer an option, really, but if you are operating a solo information marketing business you'll have to make careful choices about where to spend your time. In my experience, YouTube is a good choice.

Pre-Tender Fees Not Recoverable/
The court in Burgett, Inc. v. Am. Zurich Ins. Co., 875 F. Supp. 2d 1125 (E.D. Cal. 2012)determined that no pre-tender fees were recoverable under California law since no notice of suit would have been provided to the insurer in such circumstances. The court elected not to address whether the no voluntary payments provision independently barred the obligation to pay pre-tender costs.

Unlike some other areas of employment law, there is no qualifying period for the protection from discrimination. Not only is discrimination unlawful from the very first day in employment, protection starts from the moment a person applies for a job.
Job Adverts
A job advert demanding 15 years' experience is likely to be considered age discrimination because people in their twenties and early thirties would not have the length of experience demanded despite being well qualified in all other respects for a post.
Employers are prevented from asking questions about health or disability before offering applicants a position. This protection was to allow disabled employees to have their suitability for a position considered before being required to reveal their disability. Questions may be asked about any adjustments which may need to be made to the interview process for disabled applicants.
Selection criteria
A woman who is rejected for a job on the basis that she has young children and may need time off when they are ill would be covered by the Equality Act under the protected characteristic of sex. This is because women are statistically more likely to have childcare responsibilities and therefore any provision which takes account of childcare difficulties is likely to have a disproportionately negative impact on women when compared to men.

Tips for Caring for a Senior with the Flu
The flu can be a scary thing for elderly adults and their family caregivers.
You know that seniors tend to have an immune system that is not as effective as those of younger adults, meaning that they are more vulnerable to illness and infection, and have a more difficult time fighting off these illnesses and infections if they do develop them. This means that your senior is not only more likely to contract the flu but have a higher risk of suffering potentially serious consequences that can result, including increased risk of further infections such as pneumonia and even death. As a family caregiver, it is critical that you give your aging parent attentive, meaningful care as they are dealing with the flu so that you can help them to cope with their symptoms and recover as quickly and effectively as possible.
Use these tips to help you care for a senior who is suffering from the flu:
Encourage your parent to get plenty of rest. The flu tends to cause fatigue, but it is also important that they rest so they can give their body the opportunity to heal and fight the illness. Doing too much and over-tiring themselves can give the virus more time to thrive and cause more serious problems
Increase the amount of senior care that they are receiving so that they are not inclined to do too much while they are recovering. This care provider can handle tasks such as tidying up the house, doing laundry, preparing meals and washing dishes so that your parents can get more rest
Encourage your aging parent to drink as many fluids as is safe and healthy for them. If they do not have any restrictions regarding their fluid intake, encourage them to drink as much as they will. This will help their body to stay properly hydrated and encourage better fighting of the virus
Treat the symptoms with over the counter medications and remedies that are recommended by their doctor. While these will not actually fight the virus itself, they will help your parent to feel more comfortable, improving their rest and making it easier for their body to fight
Avoid contact with others who have been sick and discourage much visiting as this can expose your parent to other germs that can cause them to contract another infection or illness while their immune system is compromised
Though they may not have much of an appetite, encourage your parent to get as much high-quality nutrition as they can to support their immune system. Smoothies and soups are often easy to consume vehicles for nutrients
Starting senior care for your aging parent can be one of the best decisions that you can make for your elderly parent during the course of your caregiver journey with them.
A senior home care services provider can be there with your aging parent on a schedule that is fully customized not just to your parent's individual needs and challenges, but also to the care efforts that you give them. This ensures that your parent gets all of the care, support, and assistance that they need while also keeping you at the forefront of their care routine. The highly personalized services of this care provider are designed to help your parent manage their needs in the way that is right for them while also encouraging a lifestyle that is an independent, active, and engaged as they age in place. These can include assistance with personal care tasks, mobility support, help to keep the home clean and provide transportation to get your parent where they need and want to go on their own schedule.

Yesterday was the day for absolutely bonkers weather! We had everything, hail, snow,rain winds plus beautiful sunshine! The girls were pretty disappointed it didn't settle.They got a surprise this morning though when we awoke to a covering of the white stuff! I thought it looked a bit wet to try and build anything,so we had a family snow fight.Not impressed though as all my photos were pants (should I blame the camera or the fact that my kids cannot stay still or smile when I tell them too?!)
The planned Easter Egg hunt as my Mum & Dad's was changed slightly due to the girls cousins not being to make it due to illness and the fact that it was freezing cold (by that time, there was no snow left either :( )The girls hunted for a couple of eggs in the garden ,with Holly falling flat on her bum in the process,before going back indoors to find another couple (we're talking tiny mini eggs here by the way, not huge ones!)We tend not to buy the girls eggs as they're not huge sweet eaters and I usually end up finishing them off.So Holly was happy with her Hannah Montana t-shirt and Em with her copy of Stardust :)
We have a new sketch live over at Pencil Lines :)
This is mine.

UC Berkeley leaders warned today of drastic cuts to campus operations, including layoffs and other staffing reductions.
Top administrators said they were trying to avoid cuts that would affect students. But they acknowledged that more classes were likely to be taught by part-time instructors and that some student services could be trimmed.
"There is bound to be a certain impact on all parts of campus, including student services," Provost George Breslauer said. "We can't sugarcoat that."
The campus is facing a budget deficit of up to $70 million next year, although part of that will be offset by an expected 9.3-percent hike in student fees. Other University of California campuses also are cutting budgets, and university leaders will discuss those measures with the UC Board of Regents next week.
Chancellor Robert Birgeneau called the shortfall unprecedented and said he is worried about the following year as well.
"We certainly anticipate that all public institutions, and most private ones, will be financially challenged through 2011," he said. But "all of the measures we are considering are designed to maintain our work force at as high a level as possible."
Many of the actions had been previously announced, including a dramatic slowdown in faculty hiring. The university also is pushing older professors to retire, although it is not offering the lucrative retirement incentives that were handed out in past years, and administrators said layoffs were likely.
Although Birgeneau noted that the failing economy is driving a rise in graduate-school applications, a campus faculty leader said in an interview that cuts in graduate-student support could prevent some of those students from attending. Many graduate students rely on wages from teaching undergraduate courses to support their own studies.
"There's less support in a situation where there are more kids applying for graduate school," said Mary Firestone, chairwoman of the UC Berkeley Academic Senate.
The university most likely will be unable to guard against some loss of prestige, Firestone said. But she predicted the luster would return when the economy improved.
"Someday the campus will bounce back," she said. "Berkeley always bounces back. But it's going to be a long haul."

Leading Tips As Well As Suggestions For A Nutritionally Full Meal Plan
In this day and age, two things that definitely need improving are the economy and the environment. You can improve your personal economy and help the environment at the same time by converting many of the technologies in your home to green energy. Read on for some great advice on how to accomplish this.
To help you use more green energy in your day to day life, contact your current energy or electricity provider to see if they offer a renewable-energy alternative. Many energy companies are beginning to offer environmentally sound, even higher priced energy services to cater to more socially conscious individuals.
A helpful tip to live greener and conserve energy is to have the windows in your home tinted. The windows in your home act like glass in a greenhouse and when you want you home to be cool, the windows will heat it up and work against your air conditioner and cost you a bundle.
Storm doors and windows can make air flow in the home better. Storm windows and doors prevent cold air drafts filtering into openings. When homes have windows and doors that are stormed, 45 percent less energy is used, which can decrease electric bills.
As a way to live greener, purchase power strips for your home. In areas where you have multiple electronics, you can utilize these power strips as a central hub where you may shut off all power to these electronic devices when they are not in use. As an example, if you have a home office, by plugging in your computer, printer, wireless router, and desk lamp into a power strip, you can turn them all off with the flip of a single switch when you are finished with your https://www.livescience.com/topics/global-warming day's work.
If you are planning to go green in your home, you may want to consider contacting your utility provider to learn about your options. They may have some great suggestions for you look into. If they do not have the options for you, they can direct you to where you can find them.
Before you start shopping for a wind power system, know how much power your home consumes. In order to get the most out of a residential wind power system, it needs to be the proper size. If your property is hooked into a utility correctional medical services grid, your wind system should be sized to provide about 50 - 80% of your power needs.
Natural sources of energy can be unpredictable, which is why you should always have a back-up plan. Find out more about net-metering plans: in most towns, you will be allows to hook your system to the main power grid and use it when there is not enough sun or wind for your green energy solution to function properly.
To help you improve the green energy efficiency of your home, consider installing solar panels in your home. Solar panels are a good source of renewable energy and can be installed at a relatively low cost. In addition, you will reduce your reliance on fossil fuels and other forms of unsustainable energy.
Get appliances that have an Energy Star rating. Any Energy Star rated appliance guarantees better energy efficiency than an older one without the rating. Appliances like fridges and freezers can use up to 20% less energy, while washing machines can save up to 50%.
Replace your windows with more energy-efficient ones. The benefits to new windows will be seen in lower energy bills, less outside noise, less carbon dioxide, and less condensation on the windows.
One way to help with reducing energy is by using solar panels in your home. Solar energy harnesses the power from the sun which is then used to provide energy to things like getting hot water, drying clothes and keeping your home warm during the winter. Solar energy is also pollution free and helps to lower the carbon footprint along with other greenhouse gases and terrible emissions.
You can lower the temperature setting on your water heater and save money at the same time by insulating your water pipes. Just insulating the hot water pipes can reduce heat loss and raise your hot water temperature by 2-4 degrees F. You will save water as well, as it won't take as long for the water to heat up.
If your dishwasher was made before 1994, replace it with a new, high-efficiency model to save both electricity and water. Modern dishwashers use fewer gallons per load than older units, and they come with a wider variety of settings that allow you to customize your energy usage based on the size of the load.
If you are planning to go green in your home, you may want to consider contacting your utility provider to learn about your options. They may have some great suggestions for you look into. If they do not have the options for you, they can direct you to where you can find them.
Keep your home clean at all times. By constantly cleaning your home, you aren't allowing dirt to accumulate, which if left alone, you would need to use products with harsh chemicals to clean up. The less often you have to use these environmentally damaging products, the better off everyone will be.
Harness wind power in your home. Wind power is probably one of the cleanest sources that we have available now, and using it just might cut your electric bill down by up to 90%. You will have to make sure that your home is zoned correctly and then invest in a wind-turbine unit in order to take advantage of this technology.
Take your own bags to the supermarket to bag your groceries. You can use plastic or paper bags you have gotten on previous trips to the store or purchase cloth bags for this purpose. Some stores even offer discounts to customers who bring their own bags, so you can save money as well as the environment.
Use light bulbs that are energy-efficient. Conventional light bulbs use entirely too much energy and create a lot of heat. Energy-efficient bulbs last much longer and don't give off that much heat. They can sometimes give off dimmer light, so make sure to use as many as you need in your rooms so you have comparable amounts of light.
Now that you have gone through the tips in this article, make sure you use them. When you do, you will find that green living can be easy, and that green energy is, in many respects, preferred. Take action and start putting green energy into your life, as soon as today!

I'm collecting rainwater exactly because the ground is so wet. We get a lot of rain here. Surface water is contaminated. Wells here have to be pretty deep to get past the surface runoff, and that costs money. There is an existing shallow well which has brackish water. Possibly something could be done to improve it but I'd rather invest in a solid rainwater system. Nearly everyone back on our road has a cistern, not a well.
Water from the sky has some other advantages. It's clean and soft. It comes (at least here) in regular doses all year long, so I don't need to store a 6-month supply. Conversely, you can refill it with hauled water in a dry spell (unlike a well).
And remember, if I collect it off the roof that's a bit less water I have to drain out of my yard.
Interesting I have not heard of rain water used for drinking water it is normally consided for plants in the reading I have done on it because of bacterial concerns.
I agree with your logic Chris, especially regarding the advantages of the softness. Dan is also correct regarding bird poop and such. Should be addressable with a sufficient filter system. I am going to employ a similar rain water system on my land, thinking a sand bed followed by a charcoal bed should (might) provide adequate filtration?..
Isn't it amazing that rain can just filter through the ground in most places, and be perfectly fit to drink?
As a final safeguard, I intend to use a ceramic filter cartridge, guaranteed no microbes pass.
The roof itself is a concern for me. Asphalt shingles are a bit suspect, though the literature mostly rates them as safe. PAH's seem to be the concern, along with formaldehyde leaching. I hope you have a corrugated steel roof with a bake on polyester resin painted surface. I am biased anyways, having worked with sheet metal for a career, but it truly is by far the superior roofing material. Can't catch fire, and should last 50 years plus with no maintenance given the superiority of the new paints, and chemically inert.
Yep. Although it's at the far end of it's usable life, and was repainted unsuccessfully (with latex house paint) a few years ago. The folks who came before were not the brightest bunch. The peeling paint flakes are large enough I can easily filter them out.
A new roof is in the cards, and I will stick with steel, I like it a lot.
By the way we don't drink the water, it's used for washing / showering / laundry. Bottled water for drinking and cooking. Once I have a bulletproof filtration system I'll consider drinking the collected rainwater.
Not bright bulbs, no doubt. It's hilarious what passes for "good enough" with many people.
The new silicone formulated paints (ISO 9002) are waranteed for 50 years at manufacturer level. And with a galvalume substrate below, still quite inert. To maximize the life span, I recommend a white or grey, the less it heats, the longer it will last. My one building and workshop now have 20 years under the sun, regent grey, still shine. The most I will have to do with them is maybe change the rubber washers under the screws.
Hi Chris did you have a well or cistern on the property at one time? I noticed the back of the property in the pictures has some high ground. May be there is a spring hiding on your property. Just look for the first green area after the winter months.
There are whole house UV systems also that work very well.
Keep in mind when using rain water for primary drinking supply: There are some real horror stories in development work history of well meaning folks introducing different kinds of stills (usually solar) to purify water supplies. Great for getting the critters out, but Turns out it can also cause some pretty serious mineral deficiencies. Probably not an issue for most American diets or for short term use but it can be for pregnant and nursing women especially, and children at different growth stages. Also, most Americans are very mobile and drink from many sources, so I don't think you're in any kind of danger. But something to keep in mind.
My old farmhouse has a cistern, it is too close to the foundation of the house and may be a structural weakness in that corner. I have been advised to fill it in. I started to do just that, throwing broken brick and stuff in there. Lately, I am wondering why fill it in. There are no current structural issues, and hey, its water, could at least be used for toilet flushing!!
Hi Chris, I built a first flush device for my rainwater. Mine does not even have the ball. Here is a good video explanation:
Very nice David. I've finally got the WISY filter installed, it handles everything large and small down to a very small size, and is self-cleaning to boot. It also seems to oxygenate the water really well.
We had a massive rainstorm which was a good test of the overflow system. The tank was full to capacity with some expansion room, water was coming in very fast, and flowing right back out the overflow. Didn't spill a drop.
I'll have to take a video next time it rains.
Finally rained again. So, here's a video showing the new rainwater collection system in action.
Wonderful water storage set up you have there Chris. Looking forward to see how you use the water in your home.
Good evening Chris,looks like your getting a nice start on your home stedding, Is that unit any good in winter time or can it be insulated around before winter or put under frost line??.
Chris when i had my well pump replaced they found high levels of fluorine in my water under the EPA limits but high non the less. I installed a reverse osmosis system to remove it as I don't like the idea of drinking it. Well the system I installed included an led UV light treatment to kill bacteria and it also puts back the minerals people need in their drinking water. It runs off the line pressure in the house and just draws 6 watts for the led light off a wall outlet. I bought an expensive unit because it has the lower 1:1 drain to filtered water ratio. You can pick then up online or at your local hardware store.
I was actually surprised there was a filter system which replaced the minerals you need to get from water after filtering. The system is about $450 with $75 of annual filter replacement. I can tell you my coffee is less bitter now. Anyway I just figured you might find it interesting. I didn't think reverse osmosis would be cost effective before I looked into it. After seeing the cost I decided it was worth it to know my water was safe even though it originally passed the EPA test unfiltered.
Kevin, it's made to be buried below frost line, but in serious cold weather it won't operate anyhow (snow instead of rain).
Mine is in the garage which stays warmer. I plan to insulate the mechanical room.
Dan, I also intend to UV filter before drinking this water. However I have tasted it occasionally, and it is much sweeter now, with just the WISY filter in place (280 microns) Rainwater is already very clean, as we don't have much air pollution here. It's really just debris and bird poop etc on the roof that needs addressed. The oxidation from the dissolved air in the incoming water seems to be improving things a lot.
Nice setup chris. Any plan for increasing capacity with another tank?
Yes, Chris, bird poop can be a real health issue.
You need a diverter valve, let the roof wash off a little then run water to tank…

Do you know how hard it is to decide which delicious Halloween cereal to have for breakfast after weeks of Activia yogurt mixed with granola? So hard I had to have a bowl of each. Franken Berry won hands down. Best taste and marshmallow to cereal ratio, in case you were wondering.

I had something to say this morning and planned on coming back tonight. I just can't remember what was so important. After spending all day at Ikea with my mother in law, sister in law, and aunt in law, including a lunch of Swedish Meatballs and buying more to make for dinner at home, I'm in a meatball daze. Oh, and I followed all that up with a slice of the pineapple upside down cake Alex requested for his 15th birthday.

Steve is actually blogging again. I think we have both realized the value of actually blogging and writing down all these things that happen in our lives. Sure, Twitter and Facebook are fun, but there's nothing like reading through all your old blog posts and reminiscing. So go check him out. He's promised he's not going to be a slacker anymore.

I've said, "God is so good" a lot the last couple of days in regards to Steve's accident and the fact that he survived relatively unscathed. I was thinking about this yesterday. I really hope and pray that even if God had chosen that Thursday was Steve's time to go, if God had chosen that Steve would be seriously hurt and that his injury may have affected the rest of his life, I could've said the same thing. Because He is. No matter what.

It is a variety of coffee that makes the coffee ritual with a Moka pot even more rewarding.
It is a special selection of Arabica and Robusta coffee varieties of first choice: the Arabica gives an intense aroma and a full taste while the Robusta is full-bodied and creamy.
The preparation of a Moka coffee pot is an experience that involves all the senses, a personal ritual made of wise gestures and small secrets.
A few moments on the flame and an unmistakable aroma spreads in the house, then a short gurgle announces that the coffee is ready…Allora Moka!

Let's talk about anxiety for a sec. Or maybe it's grief that we should be covering here…? Or hormones, maybe? In all honesty, I can't even tell. Whatever it is we're to talk about right now, I can at least tell you with certainty that it's simmering in my throat, just below my jaw line, threatening at any moment to boil over and turn into full-fledged weeping; though I can't be entirely certain as to why.
Oh wait; I'm wrong. It's ABUNDANTLY CLEAR. This is why:
1. I'm on my period. And I'm not going to apologize for diving headfirst into that sad female stereotype; not for a moment. I've got hormones flying around in my brain at warp speed and that's my uterus's fault. It's my problem, of course, but it's my uterus's fault.
2. I'm not even supposed to be on my period in the first place. Have I shouted at you enough times how much I disdain the arrival of that beast each month, as I have done every single month for the past two years since the loss of my second child? In spite of a near-non-existent egg reserve and the promise of zero more babies—as if those factors should be reassurance. But fuck no. Fuck my period. Fuck my body and its broken system.
3. I got laid off from my job two months ago and something batshit crazy in me propelled me toward a life fuelled by my passion, a life made up of writing, and a life steered more by my own desires and less by the expectations of others. The trouble with that life, though, is that it's not working very well. It's a lot of Canadian prairie landscape when what I'd envisioned had a bit more of a downtown Toronto vibe to it. Enough with the flat earth already.
I'm beginning to see now how being left to my own devices, allowing myself to float high up into the atmosphere via the helium in my heart, only works when there's some sort of system in place beneath me that keeps me controlled and moving steadily higher. My heart's sprung a leak, though, it seems; but I mean, it was a faulty system to begin with. Or maybe it's just a bad time of the month.
Thoughts about not being good enough, about having zero relevance and not a thread of common ground with a single other soul on the planet orbit around my mind. It makes no sense, I know, but there it is all the same. I've talked in the past about how my miscarriage and my secondary infertility diagnosis have left me feeling less like a mother and more like a bereaved and translucent version of myself, made up mostly of mist, of fog and of that hurty-skin feeling you get when you have the flu…and I'm feeling that exponentially more of late.
I can't find my place. I can't see exactly where I fit in to any one system. I can't reconcile the notion that I have great and indispensable worth outside the confines of my own home and heart—the two places on this earth where I can comfortably curl up into a ball in a bathtub full of a-bit-too-warm-actually-kinda-way-too-hot water and eat all the preemptively purchased Halloween candy my heart needs.
So I'm flying my white flag today. In reality it's been flying for probably upwards of a week and a half, except I forgot to accompany the waving with my air horn. I was being too quiet.
Anxiety is a liar and hormones are a bitch and grief is that ever-present monster clambering up my back and none of those things are ME but they are still very much REAL. I need more love this week; more hugs, and a tiny bit more kindness because even though I've got that cityscape on my mind, what my soul really needs in this moment is those gentle prairie crickets.

I ran across this recipe last summer and found it interesting, primarily due to all the controversary surrounding who invented the recipe. It appears the pie was the creation of The Hungry Monk Restaurant in 1972, and the original recipe can be found at this link as it first appeared in 'The Deeper Secrets of the Hungry Monk' in 1974. I made the original recipe once but made a few alterations on the second and third try. Although the picture shows a whipped cream topping, I prefer a meringue top for mine instead and I like chocolate instead of coffee. This is my final recipe for:
Banoffi Meringue Pie
1 – 9″ Pillsbury refrigerated pie dough baked into (preferably) a deep dish 9″ pie pan
1 can of Eagle Brand sweetened condensed milk
1 tsp of Nestle's Quick chocolate powder for milk
3-4 sliced bananas
As stated in the original recipe for Banoffi Pie, the secret to this pie, and what is the most time consuming and potentially dangerous part, is the sweetened condensed milk. Place the unopened can of sweetened condensed milk into a heavy pan of water and boil for 3 hours – yes, 3 hours! It is extremely important to keep an eye on this and maintain the water level above the height of the can. If the water is allowed to boil dry, the can will explode – trust me on this, it is not something you want to clean up – or be in the kitchen when it does! (HInt: since this is the most time consuming part of making this pie, you may want to cook several cans at the same time and store the ones you don't use. They will keep almost indefinitely on your cupboard shelf – but be sure to label these COOKED.) Once the three hours – yes, 3 hours – is up, allow the can to completely cool before opening. Open the can and pour the now soft toffee mixture into the baked pie shell. Sprinkle half of the chocolate powder mix over the top of the toffee. Arrange the slices of bananas in at least two layers over the toffee – real banana lovers may want three layers. Sprinkle the remaining chocolate powder over the bananas.
Meringue Topping:
4 egg whites
½ tsp cream of tartar
8 tablespoons sugar
To get the absolute best meringue, follow these tips:
- Use a clean, dry bowl. The bowl must be grease-free, because any trace amount of fat will wreck a meringue. Glass, ceramic, or stainless steel are all suitable. Plastic bowls may appear clean, but may still have trace amounts of oil, so do not use them.
- Separate each egg into two bowls, a large bowl for the whites and a small bowl for the yolks. Even a small amount of yolk can deflate the egg whites and ruin your meringue.
- Cold eggs separate easily, but eggs whip to a higher volume when at room temperature. Once you separate the cold eggs, set the whites aside for 10 or 15 minutes so they can warm up to room temperature.
- Add the cream of tarter to the egg whites. Whip to medium-soft peaks.
- Beat in sugar, one tablespoon at a time until egg whites are glossy and hold a firm peak. By adding the sugar in this manner, you will have a firmer, finer-textured meringue.
Spread the meringue completely over the pie, piling it high. Bake in an 350 degree oven for 10 minutes or until the meringue is toasted a perfect golden brown. Cool before serving.

Early work begins as Sports Complex
By REGGIE ROSS
Staff Writer
Since the start of the year, the ball has been rolling on the soon-to-be-built sports complex just north of town.
Grenada City Manager Trey Baker recently gave an update to the Grenada Tourism Commission on the progress of the sports complex, which was approved by city voters last October.
"We've done the topography work and now all of the environmentals are being put into place," Baker said. "Once those are in place, we want to submit them to the National Guard."
Baker told the tourism commission that there's an agreement with the National Guard to do the dirt work at the site, which he hopes to start later this year.
"This is a million dollars worth of dirt work and, hopefully, we can begin in the spring or the summer," Baker said. "Everything is moving right along."
According to Baker, the city has started to see sales tax returns from the new tourism tax that began on Dec. 1.
Citizens went to the polls on Oct. 2 and voted on the referendum that authorized Grenada to levy additional taxes on hotels-motels, restaurants, and bars.
The new tax resulted in a total of two percent tax on food and alcohol at restaurants inside the city, and a three percent total tax on motels.
The old law charged one percent on restaurants and two percent on city motels.

Cookie's book has empowered me to chart. She has a section in the book that shows how to chart from written directions. Needing a blog post for today I looked through the Interweave Press "Eyelet and Lace Harmony Guide". I came across the stitch pattern called Oriel Lace on page 254. It is 12 stitches wide, so perfect for socks. The repeat is 28 rows, really the last 14 rows are just the previous 14 staggered. I think that it looks really fun for socks. The upside-down arch would be a pretty ending for the toe. I will knit this pattern in the pink sock yarn I bought on Sunday. I don't think I'll ever buy a sock pattern again. "Sock Innovation" is the only book I will ever need to make one of a kind socks. I am starting to think the principles of sock design will work for fingerless mitt designs too. I may never buy a pattern again. Who am I kidding?
I just thought of a name for this sock design. "Falling Arches"! Now I will have to knit a sample and post the pattern.

A variable annuity is a financial agreement between an insurance company and the annuitant where the insurer agrees to pay a fixed minimum amount of money at regular intervals to the contracted recipient. When you buy a variable annuity, you give either periodic payments or a single lump sum over time. The cash you pay is invested in bonds, stocks or any other investment vehicle you choose. Variable annuities are different from other investments since the periodic, tax-deferred payments are designed for the life of the insured. Usually, they have a death benefit and lack maximum contribution limits. In the face of these advantages, variable annuities have numerous drawbacks that can eat into their benefits.
Tax-Deferral Issues
Variable annuities have a tax-deferral benefit, which can however be problematic. Though profits are not taxed until the cash is removed, variable annuities are still affected by regular income tax rates. In other investments, capital gains tax rates are normally charged. The rate tends to be lower than regular income tax rates. Variable annuities can be beneficial to investors who are in a low income tax bracket. However, the deferred taxes can be quite high for several investors. This makes them less beneficial to the policyholder. Mostly, it can take many years for these annuities to be more tax-efficient compared to the traditional mutual fund. In addition, some states impose additional taxes on these investment options.
High Administrative Costs
The administrative costs can be expensive since variable annuities are, as a rule, sold on commission. This implies that investors might have to pay a big percentage of commission to own the investment. Due to high sales commissions, agents are keen to sell the products. However, to finance these high commissions, consumers pay elevated administrative fees to purchase the annuities. In addition, variable annuities frequently have annual administrative and contract fees. Their fees are high compared to other kinds of retirement investments like regular mutual funds. Usually, each extra benefit — such as a guaranteed minimum income or enhanced death benefit — has a fee attached to it. The fees reduce the return on your investment. A variable annuity also protects your money from inflation though it is not done automatically. You will need to purchase an extra rider that raises your payment during inflation. However, this will in turn increase your costs.
Surrender Penalties and Charges
Variable annuities need policy owners to keep their invested money for long periods to avoid high penalties. Since these annuities are designed for long-term investments, early withdrawal penalties are often charged when cash is removed ahead of the period specified in the contract. In addition to the "surrender charges", risk and mortality expense charge is added to the account by the insurance companies. This charge usually compensates the company for risks incurred under the contract. Generally, a surrender charge is similar to an early termination fee. In case the investor withdraws the cash before maturity, he may have to give five to 10 percent in fees to end the contract.
High Risks and Lower Returns
Since a variable annuity has insurance features, it takes longer to generate benefits compared to alternative retirement investments. More risk is also associated with a variable annuity. If the investments you select for your annuity drop in value, your annuity worth will also drop. This means that you will get a lower payout and returns.
Lack of "Step Up" in Heirs Cost Basis
"Basis" generally describes the amount of money paid by an investor for the investment. On the other hand, a "step up" basis implies that if the investment is transferred or inherited, the individual obtaining it has a basis in the present value of the investment and not the original cost. For instance, if an investor paid up $10 for the variable annuity but passes on and leaves it to an heir, then the basis remains at $10. In case, the new possessor sells the annuity, then he will have to report the income earned based on original basis. If $10 was the original cost and $100 is the valued annuity, then the new possessor will realize a profit of $90. Had the annuity added a step-up in basis, the present value ($100) would be the new basis, not the original price ($10). This makes a variable annuity a poor alternative for estate-planning purposes. Avoid sticking your successors with tax liability.
Payments Taxed as Ordinary Income
The profits from annuity disbursements need to be reported on a taxpayer's tax return as ordinary income. This is different from other investments — such as mutual funds — that can be tax-deferred and are not taxed as normal income. Normally, the ordinary income in a variable annuity is taxed at an advanced rate compared to other forms of income. Therefore, the tax consequence of this annuity makes it less lucrative.

Trace's big, brown eyes seemed to get even bigger and his nose wiggled more than usual. Although he was excited, he immediately laydown in the hallway of the vacant Mission Viejo house.
"Show me," said his partner, Jack Clausen.
Trace leaned from his sitting position, his large nose pointing directly at a blank area of drywall.
"Good boy," Clausen said, dropping a small cookie into Trace's open mouth.
Trace, as you may have guessed, is a dog. But he's not just any dog; he's a certified mold-detecting dog.
In recent years, toxic mold found in homes and commercial structures has been identified as a health concern, associated with headaches, breathing problems, fatigue and joint pain. Unchecked, mold and water damage can cause structural problems in homes.
While dogs have been used for years by the military and law-enforcement agencies to detect bombs and illicit drugs, it's only recently that they've been used to find mold in homes and commercial structures.
Trace is one of two mold-detection dogs used by Clausen, owner of JLC Home Inspections of Trabuco Canyon. Hershey is a chocolate Lab. He's still working. He was rescued from a Florida organization. Trace, a black Labrador retriever, came from Southern California Labrador Retriever Rescue.
Florida is also where Hershey and Trace were trained. And it wasn't just a matter of sit and stay. Each dog going through Bill Whitstine's Florida Canine Academy receives more than 1,000 hours of training even before its prospective handler arrives at the academy. Whitstine is widely recognized for training dogs to hunt for bombs and drugs, to detect arson and to find dead bodies in wreckage. Whitstine's dogs were used for such detection after the 9/11 terrorist attacks in New York City and Washington, D.C.
The dogs receive training in odor identification, search patterns, scent discrimination, even how to ride in a vehicle, since they do a lot of traveling from house to house, building to building.
Human partners get training in dog handling, how to coach search patterns the dog should follow and how to work in different types of buildings. There is also instruction in proper care for the dog, canine first aid and canine CPR, said Clausen. He also holds a California general-contractor's license and is a graduate of the American Home Inspectors Training Institution. AHIT is one of two schools licensed by the state of California as an accredited home-inspection training institution.
The dogs are trained to detect odors that mold produces.
In a home or commercial structure mold can be found in drywall, carpeting, furniture or insulation. Mold often is not visible because it is hidden behind walls, floors and ceilings. That's where the advantage comes in using mold-detection dogs.
Once the dog detects such an odor, he is trained to sit or lie down. The handler then says: "Show me," and the dog points his nose at the spot where he has detected the odor. He is then rewarded with a treat.
The material is then sampled by the inspector and a laboratory test done.
How much will it cost to have your home inspected for mold? Will insurance pay for it?
The number of insurance companies that cover mold inspection and remediation has dwindled to a few in the past 10 years. Huge costs to these companies resulted from increased awareness nationwide of the mold problems in homes. Now you'd be lucky to find a company that does cover mold problems.
What's a mold inspection cost? The price varies from company to company, and according to such factors as the size of the structure to be inspected, the difficulty in inspecting the roof and foundation (if it's a crawlspace underneath), and the extent of the inspection.
Clausen says his basic inspections for homes up to 2,000 square feet start at $275. Add in some difficulties, though, and that price can rise. This is true for inspections that do and don't use dogs.
Is the use of mold-detecting dogs worthwhile or just a gimmick?
Mike Buettner, who owns Respircare Analytical of Glendale, Ariz., a widely recognized indoor air-quality consultant who serves on several independent association boards, has kept an open mind about the use of dogs to inspect for mold.
"There are some people who may scoff at the use of dogs in these investigations, but I look at the dogs as a tool. I'm not a dog lover," Buettner said, "but I can respect their use."
Do the dogs seem to enjoy all this? Maybe it was just the cookie he got as a reward, maybe it was because he had "won" the game, maybe it was just being with his buddy Clausen, but something seemed to put a smile on Trace's face as he left the Mission Viejo house.

Ahhhhh, Valentine's Day…a day for reveling in romance. Candlelight dinners, long-stemmed red roses, perfectly chilled champagne in matching crystal flutes, a string quartet playing softly in the corner…..or 12 to 16 inches of snow on top of the 60+ inches that the cruel gods of winter have just dumped on you. Yes, this Valentine's Day I'll be wearing my most glamorous snow pants, my puffiest Michelin-man parka, a striped stocking cap, and super-sexy snow boots, clutching an unnervingly large snow shovel in my mittened paws. Another snow storm is coming. Sigh.
None of this, of course, will prevent me from showing you one more Valentine's-Day look–a toasty, smoky eye paired with rosy cheeks and a vibrant violet lip.
Recently I explored a very soft, slightly gray violet lipstick shade in the Touchable, Kissable Valentine's-Day look. I think that type of violet shade sort melts into the lips–it's almost a MLBB shade. (Brief follow-up on the Touchable/Kissable look: I got a good look at that lipstick, Chanel RAV in La Câline, as it appeared on my lips in photographs, and I came to conclusion that the touch of gray in that lipstick actually contributes to its natural and–I think–enhancing effect. I have a sense that shades of gray are present as part of the complex tapestry of colors that make up flesh tones, and I'm starting to think that a touch of gray in lip and cheek makeup can sometimes resonate with those natural grayish tones to good effect. I might be completely wrong, but I'm going to keep my eyes peeled to see if I can find another example!)
Today's violet lippy is more vibrant. It makes more of a statement, but a sweet and–dare I say?–romantic one. I'm really fond of the Rouge Allure Velvet formula–not quite fully matte, not quite satiny, the formula feels light, the finish is softly luminous, and the color payoff is impressive. I wanted this particular version of it, RAV in La Romanesque, to play a prominent role in this look. Rather than go for a very understated eye, as I often do with a strong (or strongish) lip, I thought it would be nice to play the eyes up a bit more in this look. It is, after all, for Valentine's Day!
I mulled over a number of possibilities for the eye look. I thought a flick-y liner might be pretty (and I still do)–in classic black, maybe, or maybe in a plummy-chocolate-y shade like Bobbi Brown Black Mauve. But I've been enjoying smoky hazes of color around the eye this winter, so I thought about–hey! what about a taupe smoky eye? But no. I've already done that. Twice now. OK, how about black, then? Black smoky eyes are smoldering hot! However…..black shadow would be a lot of look against my ghostly pallor this time of year. Gray? Well, I'm going to start sounding like a broken record here, but I try to avoid using very cool colors on all my features. (To me, placing cool tones on every feature somehow puts my makeup at the forefront of my overall look–the makeup enters the room before I do, in other words. While I think that's great if it's the desired effect, it's usually not what I'm going for.) In the end, to play up the eyes while providing a good companion or frame, if you will, for the violet lip, I finally settled on brown.
Now: what kind of brown? I didn't want to go for a brown that was too golden or caramel, because I was looking for a little contrast between cool lips and warmer eyes–not a lot of contrast, at least not this time. I wanted a look that was warm and toasty on the eyes but still in harmony with a sweet, cool-toned violet lip. So I dug up one of my Chanel eyeshadow duos, Sable-Emouvant, which features a soft champagne-peach shadow and a brown one shot through with purple and–I believe, after careful inspection–the barest hint of green. Almost a…greeniness? That hint of green always sort of surprises me when I see that shadow on the skin. I'm not sure why I expect it to be different. It just looks more red to me in the pan than green. That said: in real life, there is also a hint of purple shimmer in that brown.
For cheeks, I thought a nice, soft, balanced rosy shade would be a good bridge between a brown smoky eye and the violet lip. Without giving it much thought, I seized on the opportunity to use my Chanel Tweed blush in Rose. These blushes give such a nice effect, with just a hint of shimmer. So in with the look it went!
I realized when captioning these photos that this look is kind of thick with Chanel products, one of which (the blusher) has been discontinued, and another (the lipstick), limited edition. I thought it would be a good idea to propose some options. A perfectly lovely alternative to the Tweed blush would be Chanel Joues Contraste blush in Rose Petale; L'Oreal TrueMatch blush in Rosy Outlook would also be very nice. As an alternative to the Chanel lipstick, I actually sort of had my eye on MAC Rebel. It might give a somewhat different effect, but…I do love it.
And that's the product set for the Toasty, Smoky, Sweet Valentine's-Day Look. I'm preparing a post that shows the look as I interpreted it on my own face, so I'm looking forward to sharing that soon! In the meantime, I wish you all a lovely day.

Tech equipment includes dual-zone automatic climate control, a driver information display, a 7-inch touchscreen interface, a rearview camera, a USB port, wireless connectivity, satellite and HD radio and Apple CarPlay and Android Auto function.
SEL trims receive heated side mirrors, LED daytime running lights, steering-wheel-mounted shift paddles, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, heated front seats, an upgraded driver information display, a rear center armrest, a power driver seat and chrome interior and exterior accents. Rear cross-traffic alert and blind-spot monitoring are also present. Drivers can also opt for the Tech package that adds adaptive cruise control, a lane departure and mitigation system and automatic emergency braking.
The range-topping Limited trim comes with 16-inch eco-spoke wheels on the electric models and 17-inch alloy wheels on the Hybrid models. Other superlatives include a power moonroof, HID headlights with LED accents, LED interior illumination, LED tail lights, heated front leather seats, leather-wrapped shift knob and steering wheel, rear seat air vents and power-folding side mirrors.
The Limited's tech department boasts a 7.0-inch center touchscreen, a 7.0-inch driver's display screen, Blue Link Telematics, Remote Charge Access, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, Remote Package and Connected Care.

A variety of pain syndromes have been described in women who have undergone surgical treatment for breast cancer. These include pain at the scar, chest wall, and upper arm. They also develop shoulder discomfort, phantom breast tactile sensations, and pain.
Causes of Post Mastectomy Syndrome:
The causes of post mastectomy pain syndrome remain unclear, but are probably due to several factors. The most commonly cited theory of chronic postoperative pain in breast cancer patients is the intentional sacrificing of the intercostobrachial nerves. These nerves run through the axillary region into the arm. They give sensation to the posterior aspect of the arm. Additional factors include neuropathies caused by chemotherapy and radiation therapy. Post mastectomy pain is associated with difficulty in performing physical and recreational activities, increased body image distress, and decreased sexual interest and functioning. It is estimated that up to 50% of patients will suffer persistent pain after breast surgery due to injury to the intercostobrachial nerves. Injury to the nerves will result in neuromas due to ineffective regeneration and swelling within the nerves.
Clinical Presentation:
Neuralgic quality pain (burning, shooting) associated with hypersensitivity, numbness, tingling, and muscle weakness depending on whether the nerve involved is purely sensory, purely motor, or mixed sensory, motor. Allodynia may be present. This is pain from a stimulus that does not normally cause pain, i.e., clothing or sheets touching the skin where the skin may become easily irritated.

Charlatans mainman Tim Burgess takes the decks and there's a surprise guest appearance from Gay Dad...
CULT frontman IAN ASTBURY, BLONDIE guitarist FRANK INFANTE, HOLE guitarist ERIC ERLANDSSON and MC5 legend WAYNE KRAMER were among the audience at the inaugural Radio4 club night in LOS ANGELES last night (March 31).
Charlatans singer Tim Burgess, who now lives in LA took the decks for a DJ set after the club – at the Knitting Factory – was opened by a DJ set from former drummer of LA underground popsters 3 O'Clock, Danny Benair.
The evening also featured a surprise, unannounced live performance by Gay Dad, who were followed by local boys Beachwood Sparks, who performed their set of acid-country rock to a sold-out audience. The club wound up with founder and Poptones label boss Alan McGee, who has been taking his show on the road around North America, Canada and Europe playing a set until 2am.
Also among the celebrity-studded crowd were Hope Sandoval of Mazzy Star, members of LA groups The Tyde and The Bellrays, legendary KROQ radio personality Rodney Bingenheimer, and mega-producer George
Drakoulias, Paul Cunningham from Tailgunnerand Velvet Crushdrummer Ric Menck.
The club night will be a monthly event in Los Angeles. The venue for last night's bash, on Hollywood Boulevard, was a far cry from the club's Notting Hill Arts Club home in London, situated steps away from the glamorous Roosevelt Hotel – original home to the Oscars, with its legendary David Hockney painted swimming pool, and sometime home to Errol Flynn and Marilyn Monroe.

On Friday evening we held our Womens Ministry Christmas Event at our church, Reston Presbyterian. The night was traditionally a night of baking cookies together, but this year we decided (for a lot of reasons including Fire Marshal rules) to go a different direction.
A friend and I felt led to make the evening one of worship and joyful expectancy rather than people feeling they had 'one more thing' to accomplish on their calendar.
I am happy to say that the evening accomplished what we saw as our mission. There was a small turn-out, but enough to know that the Lord had done His work in many hearts to get these ladies there. I felt very blessed, and to be honest, no matter what else happens in this holiday season forward from here, I believe I can meet it with calm and peace.
If you need a "program" to read, to help you adjust or prepare your heart for truly enjoying the holiday season, feel free to read or download the program here.
Be blessed!

The word "healthy" has taken on many definitions and is a term that represents different things to different people. For instance, what "healthy" means to a college student may drastically differ from what it means to a working mom. Regardless of who you are, I want to make a very clear point in this blog. Being healthy does not have one definition. It is not one stereotype or a set of rules that you have to live by- it is more of an evolving journey with plenty of falling on your ass along the way. Trying to figure out what works for you can be confusing which is why there isn't one correct way to do it.
Being Healthy - Defined for Me
Personally, healthy means feeling fit, strong, and confident. It means being honest with yourself and practicing personal responsibility for your actions. It means doing what works for you and your body, eating a balanced diet with wholesome foods, and enjoying the occasional treat when you feel like it. Healthy doesn't have to mean expensive either. I often talk to people who say they want to clean up their eating, so their game plan is to head to their nearest health food store and stock up on every "superfood" and other goodies they can find - because they think that this is the definition of "healthy eating". This all too often then leads to the dilemma of having to hand over a ton of money for foods they probably don't even know how to cook.
While I encourage trying new things and experimenting with new foods and exotic items at the market, it is important to remember that it is possible to eat "healthy" with easily accessible foods that you can find in your local supermarket. There are SO many delicious meals you can make with fresh fruits, veggies, and proteins that are readily available and all equally packed with nutrients.
Remember- the ultimate goal is how you feel on the inside, not how you look on the outside. Seriously I know that seems too simple but it really is the most important thing. Social media is a great tool for sharing but never get caught up in comparing yourself to others. You are awesome just as you are!

Ecclesiastes 12:9-14
9Further, because the Preacher was wise, he still taught the people knowledge. Yes, he pondered, sought out, and set in order many proverbs. 10The Preacher sought to find out acceptable words, and that which was written blamelessly, words of truth. 11The words of the wise are like goads; and like nails well fastened are words from the masters of assemblies, which are given from one shepherd. 12Furthermore, my son, be admonished: of making many books there is no end; and much study is a weariness of the flesh. 13This is the end of the matter. All has been heard. Fear God, and keep his commandments; for this is the whole duty of man. 14For God will bring every work into judgment, with every hidden thing, whether it is good, or whether it is evil.

Join PICA for DELTA. DELTA is a six-channel film which seeks to portray the simultaneity of time, the democracy of experience, the reality of emotion, and the multiplicity of characters in three dimensions. Shot on Super-8 and 16mm, and transferred to glass laserdisc, with an original soundtrack by APHEX TWIN, the work was originally exhibited in the fall of 1997 at Marianne Boesky Gallery in New York City. Twenty years later, PICA will remount this epic work in its original format. Delta will be accompanied by a series of performances, screenings, lectures, and happenings that address the angst of the time, the connectivity to this current moment, and the collaborative spirit of making, living, dying, and experimenting in the 80's and 90's, living between burgeoning communities in Portland, Oregon and in New York's famed Lower East Side.

How long can the stain last before it will need to be reapplied due to weathering effects?
Just watched the video with the engineer's update. I thought I understood him to say that the concrete headwalls will be stained. If so, stand by for either a) the faux stone will look even worse or b) the faux stone may look a little better.
How long can the stain last before it will need to be reapplied due to weathering effects?
No idea, but given concrete is pretty porous may last a while before it gets hit with a power washer cleaning graffiti.
usually you need to redo every 2-3 years....especially the sealant....that keeps water away from the wood and makes the deck last longer....
It's open. It's like walking into a sewer pipe. At least it's equally as hideous regardless of whether you live north or south of the tracks. No preferential treatment there. Great job Glen Ellyn.
I heard the fireworks at midnight celebrating the tunnel's opening. I think I missed quite a party over there.
Finally got out today, after getting mostly over this rotten cold/cough/sore throat thing that kept me away from the time clock for the majority of the week. The tunnel was my destination.
First impressions. So what is to keep a small-brained wayward driver from thinking that the round tunnel on the right is for northbound cars? Even a small SUV will be able to leave the roadway easily (with no curbing in the way) and pilot completely through and not even scrape the side mirrors. It is that large. And no bollard spiked into the sidewalk to stop a vehicle at the entrance of the tunnel? Who didn't think of placing that safety measure in place to prevent incidents of driving into pedestrians entering the tunnel?
Drainage. I guess we'll have to wait for the first of the 100 year floods in 2019 to determine if the tunnel surface can shed water faster than it can drain in. The tunnel level is pretty much at grade, or slightly below grade. I didn't see any storm sewers inside or around the pedestrian tunnel.
I had thought that the evenly spaced 6" holes in the steel rings at the top that make up the tunnel sections were going to be for recessed lighting. I was wrong. The lights within are strung somewhat haphazardly across the top with dangling wires and lamps. Perhaps the lighting job isn't fully finished? They hang down and make easy targets.
It is LOUD! Kids were screaming at the top of their lungs to see just how loud it can get in there. At least the screaming would drown out train noise if you're walking through with kids in there. The same kids were bouncing toys off the walls. Glen Ellyn has a new playground.
Next I need to drive through there (not the round tunnel) with a borrowed fire truck to see if the width seems appreciably wider.

I like the fact that the traffic light seems smarter. It can't be coincidental that the light changed to green just as I pulled up two days in a row at 6:30am (no cars waiting on the other side). It's nice not to have to wait out an entire light cycle when it's not busy. The wait was typical in the middle of the day.
I would also like to fly a drone through the thing at, say, 40 mph. That is, if I had a drone.
EDIT: Oh, here's some more...

Too steep an angle to skateboard on the walls in there me thinks. Maybe not. Not sure. Any of you have a child that can handle a board well and have them check it out before me and my 52 year old body tries it?
Pedestrians are now safe to move about this town from North to South and vice versa. That is a good thing.

For the past six months I have been using an app called Figure 1, a program that vaguely identifies itself as a purveyor of "Medical Images," like ones that you could find in Grey's Anatomy or on your roommate's hard drive. Some have generously referred to it as "Instagram for doctors," a place for medical professionals to share their professional opinions on an ingrown hair that is impacting your skull, professionally.
Though the app is "verifying thousands of doctors a week," some medical professionals have professionally slipped through the cracks, bursting onto the Figure 1 scene claiming to be both podiatrists and general surgeons. Example:
While an unverified podiatrist/general surgeon whiz kid cannot officially weigh in on this Dickensian crowd-sourced attempt at medicine, it does not prevent me from receiving weekly clickbait emails from A Single Fig.
In lieu of medical certification, I present these three cases for the certification that eludes me. For medicine. And for the blue Figure 1 check, which will get me laid or better insurance.
Case Study 1: Terry's Nails? Classic!
To add Fun to the Equation, Figure 1 takes the wise tack of positioning their email correspondence as a quiz. The reward is not a medical degree releasing a podiatrist's apprentice from her un-blue-checked shackles, but a click through link to ye olde One Shape application. On May 6, the quiz was leveraged - first with a close-up photo of the human body, then a list of options.
"Can you? Can you?" queries Figure 1, its warped fingernail shaking as it points. "Can? You?"
"As if you could ever," Figure 1 responds before I can take a single podiatrist's breath. They regale me with the following options.
There are hacky, overdone bits like the hangnail and there are fresh new joints like the spoon nail, but everyone has to appreciate a true !classic! like either Beau's lines, Terry's nails, half-and-half nails, or clubbing. Like a Beatles vs. Stones argument or sex with a rapidly aging high school boyfriend, it simply insists upon itself!
No time to wax nostalgic, as I assume that opening the emails begins a slow ticker that ends in my computer exploding.
A) Beau's lines: Could also be an Eric Clapton B-side.
B) Terry's nails: Terry's nails sounds like a classic and like my Aunt Terry's nails, which were always very nice before she died.
Counterpoint: would Aunt Terry ever identify with this 55-year-old diabetic male's warped nailbeds? No, she would not even let them handle her cosmopolitan. It cannot be Terry's nails.
C) Half-and-half nails: Leave it to the idiot doctors who would download an app developed in Canada to use a phrase like "half-and-half nails," the latter half being what is clinically called "gross" or "Dad's" in medical circles. My money is on this one.
D) Clubbing: Not my choice of pastime, but I understand and respect the urge.
The answer is contained in the murky depths of Figure 1, an app that I will not open until they verify me as the licensed theoretical podiatrist and surgeon (general, whatever you want) I am.
Google says: Clubbing. Classic! : - )
Case Study 2: Turn, Turn, Turn Up the Rhythm!
Even the most rampant gaping wound fan must rest, and so must the rabid intern population of Figure 1. After drinking a mason jar of each other's blood at the beginning of their shift, they took a new direction. When they are not ignoring my request for them to call my phone number so that I can confirm that I am, indeed, a podiatrist and general surgeon, they whip up something like:
A pulsating opening rhythm that picks up then grows quiet? It sounds experimental, but before I can pull out anyone's earliest album Consideration Une hath provided me with another shortcut. Behold:
A) Torsades-de-pointes: This is my choice. It's not unthinkable that an adorable 65-year-old could become ill after listening to French jazz for three days. In regards to the top line: a series of saxophone honks, a slow drumroll, and a little boy name Alain whispering "mise en abyme" for six minutes. Just consider it.
B) Ventricular Fibrillation: Fibrilliation sounds like innovation which reminds me of the music of Avicii, so it cannot be anything related to fibrillation.
C) Ventricular tachycardia: Enough syllables to be a convincing pick, and far better than contracting anything French.
D) Atrial Fibrillation: Again with the fibrillation - drama.
Is this rhythm the Saint-Saëns composition that is used in every trailer for Tim Burton movies?
Google says: It is not. It is torsades-de-pointes, or as I like to call it, "freedom aortic arrhythmia."
Case Study 3: The Curious Incident of the Varicose Veins in the Night:
There are questions that cause one to sit up in the middle of the night, their spinal fluid reduced to dust. What if I had said something different the last time I saw Aunt Terry? What if I had not brought someone I had known for three weeks to her funeral? What if I had not agreed to ride in a hearse with a stranger and a dead aunt?
These are not the questions that haunt me. I submit instead:
"How would you treat these severe varicose veins?"
How? Would? I? Treat? These? Severe? Varicose? Veins?
"Spem" indeed, varicose veins!
Has the demon in this man's body trying to tag his body from the inside out? As a doctor of medicine, I am a firm believer in demons.
My questions are not Figure 1's concern. Figure 1 is a hub for answers, ill-gotten and from doctors of questionable merit. We are presented with but four choices.
As a non-practicing podiatrist who believes that possession is a viable illness, I can only recommend laser therapy, but let's schlock through this anyways.
A) Compression therapy: Not an option. This is the medical phenomena of listening back to therapy appointments on an MP3 player.
B) Laser therapy: Definitely, every time, and for every disease.
C: Sclerotherapy: As positive as a spruce-up to your sclero can be, laser therapy is the answer.
D) No intervention: Don't be a hero about your varicose veins, babe - I call all my podiatry patients "babe" - I don't care how healthy your weight is or how actively you are bouncing your veins around at whatever vein emporium you associate with. Something must be done, and it is laser therapy.
Before I could make my decision, I had to see an illustrated depiction of a woman whose life is being actively blurred by varicose veins in spite of her orthopedic office chair:
From this springs still more questions: who draws these pictures? Why is the office around this woman literally fading before her eyes? Is she too blinded by the "very common" embarrassment of "swollen, twisted veins" creeping up (down? I am not afflicted by these, though they are reportedly common) to pay attention to the world around her? Has this adversely affected her work performance in the same way that these Figure 1 emails have adversely affected mine, slowly pulling my attention span and very sanity apart not unlike the varicose godforsaken veins on this woman's legs?
I bet she's nice, though troubled.
But it brings me back to my question, which is how would you, YOU, treat these severe varicose veins?
The answer is laser therapy - classic. :-)
Let me know if you have any questions.
- Dr. Jamie

CAPE TOWN - Proteas captain Bongiwe Msomi is urging the South African government to rally behind Netball South Africa's bid to host the 2023 World Cup. It will be the first time the tournament is hosted in Africa.
The tournament, which would be exclusive to a hosting city, would provide an economic injection in excess of R2.6 billion.
More than the financial gain, would be the boost to women in sport in South Africa - and by extension Africa.
The 2023 Bid deadline is June 30 and the bid has to be endorsed and have the full backing of the government.
Msomi has often spoken of netball being the sport that changed her life, improved her confidence as a teenager and reinforced her belief of the importance and significance of women in society.
Msomi started playing the sport as a 16-year-old and said that had it not been for netball her story, like so many teen girls in South Africa, could have been very different.
The Proteas captain said playing at home to packed arenas, with the sport enjoying mass media coverage during the series against Australia, New Zealand and England, was unlike anything she had previously experienced in South Africa.
"The feeling of being introduced as representing South Africa is overwhelming. I have always been amazed by how we can come together as a country with different cultures, ideas, challenges and backgrounds, and have one passion and goal as a team," Msomi said.
"It was massive for the players to see the support and interest. Our performances lifted and we showed our ability to be competitive against the very best teams. To have the chance to host the world's best teams in South Africa would simply be huge.'
Head coach Norma Plummer said: "There was a time not too long ago when the Proteas were losing to the best teams by 30. Now it's a five score differential and in some matches even less. It is getting closer and the more we play the best teams in full arenas (in South Africa) the better we will get," said former Australian coach Plummer, one of the best coaches in the world.
Fast fact
* Proteas defender Karla Mostert, who has already made a mark in England, was the first South African to play in the Australian league, considered the best in the world. Mostert won the MVP in the Suncorp Super Netball Grand Final playing for the Sunshine Coast Lightning.@Mark_Keohane

To the one who is victorious, I will give the right to sit with me on my throne, just as I was victorious and sat down with my Father on his throne. Revelation 3:21
Getting a reward is something many people want. They look forward to being victorious and getting the reward that is being offered. Football players look forward to getting the Superbowl ring for a reward of their hard work at playing the game. Workers strive for the employee of the year for their hard work. There are thousands of different rewards out there of every type that people desire.
With any of the rewards it does take work and dedication. A person has to be focused on what he is doing in order to earn the reward. He has to be victorious in the work being done.
Just believing in Jesus and repenting of sins brings a reward of eternal life for every believer. It is something that they may look forward to getting.
Jesus also points out that there is a reward for being victorious. This reward is the same that He had received, to be able to sit on a throne. When Jesus rose from the dead, victorious, He was allowed to sit on the Father's throne. Now, when a believer is victorious in following Him, he will be allowed to sit on the throne of Jesus.
Victorious means that a person will continually turn from sin, obey God's commands, do the work God has sent for him to do, be a witness for Jesus and build His kingdom on this earth.
To do any of these things, a person must be focused on God. He must make his life dedicated to serving God with all of his abilities. This has nothing to do with salvation, but with serving God.
Just as with any victory, being victorious in your own life will take some work. It takes focus to turning away from all sin and seeking ways to serve God in every moment of your life.
Jesus is waiting to hand out the reward of sitting on His throne to every one who is victorious. It is not just for one or two people. It is for you and everyone else who is victorious in following Him.
Ask yourself if you are being victorious in your walk with God. Are you doing all you can to get that reward?
I pray today that you will know what God has in store for you; that God will strengthen you to turn from all sin; that you will be His witness in this world; and that you will receive the reward God has for you.
