Water Lilies
Claude Monet (French, 1840–1926)
89.5 x 100.3 cm (35 1/4 x 39 1/2 in.)
Accession Number
Medium or Technique
Oil on canvas
Not On View
Beginning in 1903, Monet embarked on a series of canvases depicting his water garden at Giverny. Here, the pads of lilies scattered across the painting suggest the water's surface, receding into space. The pattern of light and dark beneath the lilies indicates the reflection on the water-sky and the trees on a distant bank. Monet exhibited forty-eight of these "landscapes of water" in 1909. Fascinated by the artist's subtle fusion of reality and reflection, critics compared the paintings to poetry and music.

Hell no man, I cannot write a post title like that! It is SOO not Politically Correct. Ok, then let's look at it this way, and compare two tribes, that should be alright, yes? I grow tired of that Pedi, Malema's diatribe against white people, and their culture.
Considering my linage comes from a tribal system, just they call them Clans not tribes, and arrived in South Africa at the same time as another tribe, the Xhosa, (Pedi in the narrowest sense, refers more to a political unit than to a cultural one) that should make a good study.
So now we have Xhosa Pride vs Scottish Pride.
The first problem is that the one tribe kept written records and the other did not. Anyhow it seems both were fighting everyone and everything around them. The Scotsmen Clans had got over killing each other and united in to one big tribe, Scotsmen or Scots if you will. The Xhosa also banded a few tribes together and formed their tribe. Both migrated, the Scots went everywhere in the world, some to South Africa. The Xhosa traveled south from the Great Lakes in Africa and also ended up in South Africa. Here they did not make friends.
The Scots were aligned with a much bigger group, the British, many of them becoming soldiers, which threw them into direct conflict with the Xhosa. The conflict took place in the Eastern Cape, and for 20 years, the Xhosa and the British clashed. My ancestors were involved in that. Lieutenant General Sir John Jarvis Bisset arrived in South Africa as a child in 1820 and, having been commissioned as an ensign in the Cape Mounted Riflemen in 1835, fought in the 6th, 7th and 8th Frontier wars. He became Commanding officer of his regiment and went on to be acting Governor of Natal in 1865. He also became colonel of the 106th Regiment of Foot.
Written history says the Xhosa were crossing the river, stealing, murdering and raping the white settlers. Now I know that history is written by the victors but I tend to think this is true. Why? I see the same people are now doing exactly the same thing to the white farmers today, right now. Farm Murders which that Pedi is actively and publically encouraging.
So much for the early history of these two tribes, now let's take a look at what each tribe was doing during this period.
As I say, one tribe did not write so very little is on paper of what they were up to. They are recorded as displacing the original Khoisan hunter gatherers of Southern Africa and getting into fights with the other large tribe here in South Africa; the Zulu. We have to rely on physical evidence of any great inventions, innovations or deeds they accomplished.
There are NONE.
Meanwhile, the Scotsman, those that remained in their land of origin were pretty busy. The evidence both written an physical is vast. The names of many are now famous: James Watt, Alexandra Bell, John Dunlop and James Young, to mention just a few. Here are some of the things they invented.
Bicycles, the telephone, the metal detector, hydrofoils, antibiotics, the vacuum flask, pneumatic tyres…. the list is too long to look up and put here, but I feel I have made my point.
Now if I am to jump on this new trend of racial pride, that is sweeping the world, I do believe that I can be proud of my linage and my race, which just happens to be… white.
Modern Day
Well in the long run the Xhosa won the war and now, under the ANC, (The ANC is a Xhosa based organization.) basically rule South Africa, and the last 20 years show how bloody well they do that!
You can check out what modern inventions South Africa is famous for and by the surnames of the inventors decided what linage they come from. Not surprisingly there are a lot of names that originate in…. Scotland.
I do believe that I can safely have some Scottish Pride.

57 patients sue Indian-Origin Surgeon in Britian
| Updated On: 2016-08-13T14:19:05+05:30 | Location :
The Urologist allegedly treated male patients leaving them infertile.
Arackal Manu Nair, Indian-origin "celebrity" surgeon who worked in Britain at Southport and Ormskirk hospital has been sued by 57 male patients, after he conducted unneeded operations and allegedly left some of his patients infertile, reports the media.
The Urologist (Nair) allegedly treated patients for prostate cancer when they did not suffer from the disease, reports southportvisiter.co.uk on Thursday.
One of the male patients claims he was left weak when Nair "cooked" his prostate gland after destroying him with controversial laser treatment.
Other patients were given a laser treatment known as High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HFIU) even though the drugs watchdog National Institute of Clinical Excellence (NICE) did not approve.
The General Medical Council (GMC) had placed a number of restrictions on the doctor's licence and he is unable to work unsupervised, or in a private practice, until July 2017, the report stated.
The surgeon, who worked at Spire Hospitals as well, resigned from the NHS Trust in July 2015.
"We would like to unreservedly apologize for any distress this has caused," a spokesperson for the trust said.
Rob Gillies, Executive Medical Director, at Southport and Ormskirk quoted as saying to southportvisiter.co.uk., "Nair was a locum urology consultant surgeon for the Trust between February and July this year. He was entirely open with us about the restrictions the GMC had placed on him, although they were not relevant to his work here. His clinical practice was monitored while he was a Trust employee and gave no cause for concern."
The GMC has placed many restrictions on this doctor's license until July 2017.
Lawyers of the former patients are now advising anyone who fears they might have suffered medical negligence to come forward by September 30. Nair has not made a comment on the allegations so far.
Nair had previously appeared on a television show in Britain as a medical expert called "Embarrassing Bodies."

Format: Paperback, 352 pages
Release Date: March 6, 2012
Publisher: DAW
Source: Amazon
Genre: Urban Fantasy
Ghoulies. Ghosties. Long-legged beasties. Things that go bump in the night... The Price family has spent generations studying the monsters of the world, working to protect them from humanity—and humanity from them. Enter Verity Price. Despite being trained from birth as a cryptozoologist, she'd rather dance a tango than tangle with a demon, and is spending a year in Manhattan while she pursues her career in professional ballroom dance. Sounds pretty simple, right? It would be, if it weren't for the talking mice, the telepathic mathematicians, the asbestos supermodels, and the trained monster-hunter sent by the Price family's old enemies, the Covenant of St. George. When a Price girl meets a Covenant boy, high stakes, high heels, and a lot of collateral damage are almost guaranteed. To complicate matters further, local cryptids are disappearing, strange lizard-men are appearing in the sewers, and someone's spreading rumors about a dragon sleeping underneath the city
Discount Armageddon is the first installment in author Seanan McGuire's InCryptid series. This first novel features Verity Price, a cryptozoologist who has been trying to make it as a professional dancer. This is why Verity is in Manhattan. But, a girl also has to pay the bills which is why she also works as a waitress at Dave's Fish & Strips. Verity's family has a history that goes way back to the Covenant of St. George. Verity's family tries to keep safe those Cryptid's who are basically harmless.
But, if they step out of line, she doesn't hesitate to put them down. In this world, there are 900 races of Cryptid's, of which some 80 are capable of passing as humans. Verity and family are cryptozoologists who study and research monsters. Verity has tried to keep a decent relationship with those monsters, but sometimes she gets caught up in things that are way over her head. Which leads Verity to meeting her families nemesis in the form of Dominic De Luca who just happens to snare Verity in one of his traps while hunting Cryptid's. Dominic's Covenant doesn't believe in coddling the monsters. They want to flush them out, and exterminate all of them off the face of the earth.
Good thing that Verity has trained all her life for this moment to come. Good thing that Verity has some help in the form of her "cousin" Sarah Zellaby who is one of the more dangerous Cryptid's in existence. Dominic reminds me of a person who has been totally and absolutely brainwashed not unlike those who are swept away by religious cults. Dominic's whole world gets shredded to pieces after meeting Verity who, along with her family, was presumed to be dead. After Dominic and Verity put their issues behind them, and agree to work together, there is plenty of sizzle and we see a different side to Dominic than the ruthless killer.
This is a world that has Aeslin Mice, (speaking mice who celebrate various monumental moments in the Price/Healy family). We can also add a dragon, dragon princess, waheela's, bogeymen, bear shifters, gorgons, ghouls and plenty of other monsters who call Manhattan home. One of the conflicts is with Verity herself. Will she be able to be a professional dancer she's worked hard to become, or will she have to hang up her ballet slippers, and stick to being a cryptozoologist. I have already read book # 2, and will most likely skip over books #3 & #4 to get back to Verity, and then Magic for Nothing which is Antimony Price's book. After reading this first novel, I am all in to get caught up as soon as possible. I love this world. I love Verity, Sarah, and her parents who are tertiary characters at best, but are just a phone call away if trouble gets too close.

Cousin Stella likes to dance with her mom. She likes to wear dress-up clothes and footy pajamas. She likes to turn on the keyboard to play "How Deep is Your Love" while she jumps on her brothers bed.

Industrial designer Kijtanes Kajornrattanadech has created a set of tableware that gives off the illusion that each object is being lit and is casting a shadow. The shadow created looks like it is being lit from a single light source, but in actuality, the cutlery comes with a dark protective layer that serves as the pseudo shadow.
Not only does this interesting tableware create a very interesting effect, but it is also a great conversation piece. The dark shadowy layer actually serves as a protective layer that guards from heat and stain. All the shadow pieces comes affixed with a thin plastic lining so that the two pieces fit together like a puzzle. Kijtanes Kajornrattanadech's shadowy ceramics are a great thought-provoking and useful collection for the home.

There were two type beds and two inking tables, which travelled backwards and forwards, and one platen only, situated in the middle of the machine, which in turn gave the needful impression as the type-formes passed underneath.
The middle term, though conceived as an intermediary or linking term, gets its name as intermediate in a homogeneous scheme of quantity, where it cannot be of narrower extension than the subject nor wider than the predicate of the conclusion.
But, influenced by medical views and by the almost insuperable difficulty of enforcing any drastic import veto in the face of Formosa's large communications by junk with China, the Japanese finally adopted the middle course of licensing the preparation and sale of the drug, and limiting its use to persons in receipt of medical sanction.

DAMAC Properties today announced the first ever project to be completed in Dubai South, with the handover of DAMAC Maison de Ville Tenora hotel apartments. The developer also announced that DAMAC Maison de Ville Celestia, another hospitality project in the area, is at an advanced stage of construction, with both projects offering investors the first opportunity to take delivery of properties in Dubai South and start yielding returns immediately.
DAMAC Maison de Ville Celestia and DAMAC Maison de Ville Tenora are strategically located at the heart of Dubai South, the emerging urban area of Dubai that is at the centre of Dubai's strategic plans for development. The last units in these two projects will go on sale in Dubai from the 13th to 15th October at DAMAC Properties' stand located in WAFI Mall from 10:00 am till midnight, and also on 15th October from 10:00 am till 4:00 pm at three of DAMAC Properties' sales centres including Park Towers, Ocean Heights and AKOYA. Ready to move in hotel apartments in Tenora will be offered at a starting price of AED 587,000, while Celestia units, with substructure already completed and delivery set to be in 2018, are priced to start at AED 560,000.
Ziad El Chaar, Managing Director, DAMAC Properties, said: "With Dubai's strategic plan to create a key new hub for business and investment, and complemented by world-class facilities, there will naturally be a need for hotel accommodation in the centre of this vital area of the city. Our hotel apartment offering in Tenora and Celestia is uniquely attractive as they benefit from prime, high-demand locations at the centre of Dubai South and a return on investment can be realised immediately leading up to and during the Expo 2020 Dubai. Tenora units are completed and handed over while Celestia will be delivered in 2018, making them the premiere completed projects in Dubai South and allowing investors the first opportunity to benefit and reap the returns from such properties in this strategic location."
The free zone of Dubai South is rapidly progressing to become the nerve centre of Expo 2020 Dubai site as well as being home to the world's largest aviation hub that is served by a vast infrastructure network including Al Maktoum International Airport and a host of first-class facilities, including Jebel Ali Port and Dubai Metro. It is also importantly being positioned and accordingly prepared to be a venue that will facilitate business while being an appealing place to live, work and invest with features that promise an unparalleled quality of life. Residents of Celestia and Tenora will stay connected to the city with accessibility via three major roads including Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Road (E311), Sheikh Zayed Road (E11) and the Emirates Road (E611).
With the pace at which the area will develop in the lead up to 2020 and beyond, guests can expect a unique and never-the-same experience every time they stay at those properties, with the evolving surroundings and activities. Suitable for both short and long-term stays, DAMAC Maison de Ville Hotels & Resorts presents a relaxed experience where guests benefit from all the amenities of home, along with the highest standards of hotel service.
Stellar service, spectacular amenities and plush spaces strike the perfect balance at DAMAC Maison de Ville Tenora, combining the comforts of home with a five-star hotel experience. With 964 units to be delivered by 2018, Celestia will bring an entirely new dimension to serviced living.
A 145-square-kilometre master-planned city and host to the first World Expo in the Middle East, Dubai South is set to become one of the world's most desirable destinations. A city based on the happiness of the individual, it aims to change the fundamental concept of a community and its purpose, in line with Dubai Plan 2021.

This is sort of odd, but I want to explain my theory on why I got my rating jump by beating higher-rated players and not by beating lower-rated players.
Let me back up first. Two schools of thought exist on chess improvement. One is positional play and we'll call this the Blunderprone school of thought. The second one is studying tactical diagrams. We can call this the Seven Circles guy's school of thought.
IMHO, to beat the lower-rateds, you need to find the tactical shots, whereas to beat the higher-rateds, you need a solid positional game/understanding.
Why is this? Well, some of the lower-rateds, like I was once, probably read books on openings and study the greats, so they can get decent positions. Sometimes they are even unbeatable when they stick to their opening schemes so well.
Higher-rated players are usually better at tactics and endgames. Some higher-rateds are strong tactically and positionally (Neal and Show are two that I face in this respect). The rest I play against are mainly tactically strong. Like Anthony Ong is way stronger than me tactically, but the other thing is that some of these players like to mix it up so much that someone is bound to lose. This is where your having solid positional skills can make it harder for them to finish their attack, while also giving you great counter-chances should they not capitalize positionally.
My other theory, based on supposition really, is that most of the "just tactics" school of thought will begin to tap out around 2000-2200 USCF rating. I think the 2200 types are probably monsters of the endgame or of tactics. But beyond that are probably the types more like postal players, players who will have a lot more researched and I would think strong balance of positional understanding mixed with tactics. I would think the types to make it to a Zurich 1953 tournament would be the types that can keep it together positionally as well as tactically, although there are still imbalances like Keres was mad tactics guy, Smyslov more balanced, Petrosian and Karpov more positional.
I guess a better way of saying this is that you can be imbalanced between the two, but for example if "all" you knew were tactics, like that's all you had ever studied period, then I don't think you would have the positional strength to reach those positions in some cases, or you would have such a skewed preference that you would end up in losing endgames, and strategically botched middlegames. That I have seen happen before, then the person ends up saying something like "tactics don't work!" and I do believe that is a quote.
On the other side of the coin is the person who is 1300 and reaches a won game against a 1900 player, but can't "pull the trigger" correctly or possibly even loses on time (because tactics will eat up major time, if a person is not used to analyzing them) – incidentally, this last person was me. Stronger players analyze their tactics rather quickly, so calculation speed is part of the issue toward improving results as well.
Just had a look at Dana's blog:
He is a Master with a neat combinative position. I love puzzles like that! I did fairly well, but didn't play his initial move which is quite masterful. Now that is an instructive game fragment! You can also test whether you see how the final move is winning. This stuff is getting easier for me now as I am studying tactics from the 'Combination Challenge' book. It really is mostly pattern recognition. You can even recognize the themes like how the CC book breaks it down.
There is a less glamorous win in that position than the one he choose, so I'll include it as a comment.
The best part about studying tactics is that it is the most time-efficient way to improve your results, if you are strapped for time and can only study one thing.
You guys may somewhat think I am joking with regards to these two positional players that I have to face. Found one game on the internet by Show. It was a maneuvering draw. Here is a game by Neal:
Giving this game the once-over, I think Black missed his chance to draw by not taking the bishop with 47… BxR 48. e7 Rf8 49. exR Kxf and now the king can rush over to stop the pawns from queening and the rook can aim to win the c-pawn. I think Black should have asked for a draw on move 40. I didn't like where he doubled the pawns on e6 either instead of Rxe6, but this is what can happen when you play this guy. Scary. I think positional players do best against him, which means he does lose some games to a positional player of lower rating like Kurt beat him once recently (Kurt is currently 1651 but also has nearly 600 tournaments played to his name).
Kurt once told me it started out with him and his buddies playing. They would play not to lose in the opening, just set up their pieces unbothered, so consequently I don't think he formally learned the openings so much as his strength during a game grows the longer it goes on. IOW, you don't want to be waiting around until move 30 to try and get an advantage against him.
Charles was 2334, and Neal was 1990 at the time.
Here is the game I found of Show as Black. Actually, I think Black still has something to play for here, but White does not.

In the Canadian summer of 2011, I travelled to White Rock, Canada to attend my cousin Kate's wedding. It was important to me to be there as despite the distance of where we both lived, we were the only girls on the side of the family, so were close.
The wedding was held at my aunt and uncles place with a view of the water. Many friends and family had come from all over the world to attend. I had arrived a few days before the wedding, so had time to catch up with Kate- we even fitted in dancing and a movie.
I also met my cousin Glen's girlfriend at the time, Tara. We got along well and had pre wedding manicures together. My cousin Jay and his family had flown in from Australia too, so it was a full house buzzing with preparations including marquee and stage building.
I caught up with Celina on my first night there over too many red wines at the local pub. She had a toddler now, so it was lovely to meet him and go for ice cream on the seafront on another day.
One night, Jeanette picked me up and we went over to Celina's place for dinner. I was impressed to learn that Jeanette had started a successful business of her own.
The garden wedding itself was held on a bright sunny day. It started in a beautiful Apex shaped church and ended in dancing, party crashers and a bit too much wine.
It was great to see Geoff and Genevieve there, who now had two boys, and catch up with the groom, Ben, and meet his family. My personal favourite touch were the table centres that were formerly grandmother's teacups.
I left the day after the wedding to catch the bus to Seattle and an internal flight to visit my bestie in her hometown of Nebraska for 4th July. I had never been to an Independence Day celebration and was very much looking forward to the experience.

I have to thank my readership for helping me reach a special milestone.
For the month of June, I hit exactly 1,000 views. No kidding, right on the nose.
The previous high was in April of this year, with 933. One thousand feels pretty good.
I have another exciting piece of news, which is that I'm partnering with the fine bloggers at Damn Arbor to co-host the Ann Arbor Bloggers Meet Up. Come meet your favorite local bloggers in the basement at the Heidelberg on North Main, Friday July 15, 6pm. If the thought of meeting Ann Arbor's (and, by extension, Michigan's) finest bloggers doesn't sufficiently excite you, you have the choice of approximately a gazillion German beers which can be consumed– I shit you not– in a boot, if you so desire. Yes, an actual boot.*
Plus some pretty wonderful German food. RSVP in the comment section of this post so we can give a reasonable headcount. Or on Facebook (stay tuned for the event link).
*Really, even if you hate this blog there's nothing like a bootful** of German beer. See you there.
**OK, a glass boot.

One of the joys of gardening is starting to plan your garden even when it's cold outside. The light is starting to return and soon the sun will be warming us up, and warming the soil in our gardens. So ignore the cold, and come out to St. Mary's Church hall on Saturday February 16 from 2-4 pm and start getting ready for next year's gardening season!
The 2013 garden season at St. Mary's Community Garden is going to be focused on getting to know our garden neighbours. And this first event of the year will help us get started. Come out, bring the kids, or just your own creativity and paint a sign to identify your own garden plot. We will also have seeds for swapping (bring some along if you have extras to share). Enjoy a hot beverage or two and share your garden ideas or learn from your neighbours – what seeds they are planting this year, what worked and didn't work last year, etc.
So come and get growing with us! We're looking forward to seeing you soon.

Paintings On Porcelain Inspired By The People I See In French-Style Cafes (Part 2)
Community member
I am Başak Erdemir and I live in Istanbul. I do doodles, paintings, cross stitches, calligraphic scratches and clay sculptures. I also like to share my stuff in social media and just love to have comments which I think help me to constantly regenerate my style and strengthen my hunger to create.
I use a group of patterns to visualize the feelings I want to embed in my works: on porcelain, paintings etc. Playing with weight of the mix, the sequence and the densities, I switch among the feelings. In this series I wanted to reflect the women from cafes all around the world from my window. I don't mean physically, but soul wise what I see when I look at a woman. I even named them; with whatever name rings in my head.

Growing Cancer Survivor Population Needs New Models of CareJun 1, 2014
The number of cancer survivors is the United States is growing rapidly. As this population grows, ensuring they have the right care and support is becoming increasingly important.
Researchers, doctors, and health organizations are working on improving and adding to the resources and systems available for helping cancer survivors live the best lives possible. Many leading survivorship experts will be working to advance these goals at the upcoming 7th Biennial Cancer Survivorship Research Conference.
In this interview, American Cancer Society researcher and cancer survivorship expert Kevin Stein, Ph.D., provides insights into the challenges cancer survivors face and the research that needs to be done to advance the quality of care this growing population receives.
Q. More Americans are surviving cancer than ever before, with more than 14 million survivors in the United States today and that figure is expected to increase to about 19 million by 2024. What are the most significant challenges health providers face in terms of caring for this population?
A. I think the most significant challenges are identifying ideal models for survivorship care and management of side effects that appear or last long after treatment has ended. A broader issue, though, is that there is already a shortage of primary care providers and oncology professionals and with the population of cancer survivors growing, the system will become further taxed.
That said, this presents opportunities for providing additional training and education to primary care doctors to understand the unique issues, risk factors and concerns that long-term cancer survivors face. In fact, the American Cancer Society, in collaboration with the George Washington University Cancer Institute, has produced a series of e-learning videos for primary care physicians that are available through the National Cancer Survivorship Resource Center. These provide education to primary care providers around survivorship issues and a model for how the American Cancer Society and other organizations may be able to help these providers feel prepared to manage the unique needs of long-term cancer survivors. Along these lines, the Society is also developing and publishing a series of cancer site-specific survivorship care guidelines directed at primary care providers. These will be rolling out over the next couple of years.
We also need to look at how survivorship issues are being handled internationally so that we can learn from others. For example, the UK is using a "triage" model, in which they identify post-treatment cancer survivors as low, moderate, or high in terms of their needs and then they triage them to the appropriate care setting. So people with low care needs may end up in a self-management setting and those with high needs might go into a more intensive care setting to get more attention.
The scientific issue we need to address includes being able to identify the prevalence of long-term and late effects and the risk factors associated with them. We also need to be able to differentiate between chronic conditions that are from cancer versus those that are coming from the normal aging process.
Q. What kinds of resources exist today to help survivors navigate life after cancer – and achieve a high quality of life?
A. The landscape is developing and there is growing recognition that survivors need adequate information to manage their disease and associated problems. Various patient advocacy and survivorship advocacy organizations have developed materials for cancer survivors. For example, the American Cancer Society has a number of programs and services directed toward cancer survivors, such as the Cancer Survivors Network – an online peer community of more than 174,000 cancer survivors who can interact with and support one another. The American Cancer Society, in partnership with the George Washington University Cancer Center, also offers the National Cancer Survivorship Resource Center, which houses resources for survivors and also for providers and advocates.
There is also the Cancer Support Community, programs offered through CancerCare and Livestrong, as well as local community services provided through various facilities. And, in some large urban areas, major cancer centers offer survivors' clinics. The Moffitt Cancer Center, in Tampa, and Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, in New York City, are two examples of cancer centers that offer dedicated survivor clinics that are focused on helping post-treatment cancer survivors navigate the survivor experience. There are several others, but they are mostly limited to urban areas and this is still an underdeveloped and growing area.
Q. How important is it that survivors maintain and even improve their health behaviors, including exercising and eating well?
A. It is very important that cancer survivors in particular lead healthy lifestyles because they are at increased risk for a number of additional diseases and conditions as the result of the cancer treatments they received, including second cancers. Engaging in a healthy lifestyle, including maintaining a healthy weight, eating primarily a plant-based diet, exercising regularly, complying with cancer screening guidelines, and avoiding tobacco and alcohol will reduce their risk of developing other health problems. Specifically, obesity, smoking and alcohol have been associated with higher risk for a number of cancers. The other added benefit is that healthy lifestyle is associated with improved mental functioning and overall quality of life.
Q. What are the most important areas of research right now when it comes to cancer survivorship?
A. I think the most important research area is identifying the optimal models of care for post-treatment cancer survivors in terms of helping them manage chronic long-term and late effects. We also need to understand the causes, prevalence, and risk factors associated with long-term and late effects.
One of the big challenges right now is getting cancer survivors to engage in healthy lifestyles and also maintain the positive changes they do make. So while we have shown we can help survivors make healthy behavior changes, we have had a more difficult time helping survivors maintain those positive gains over time.
We also need more research around the implementation and dissemination of evidence-based interventions through existing public health channels. What we need to do now is take what we know works in the clinical lab setting and get it out to the larger population of cancer survivors to have a positive impact on overall public health.
Q. How do you see survivorship care changing – and improving – over the next 3 to 5 years?
A. Survivorship care is still very fragmented and cancer survivors are forced to go to multiple providers – who often don't communicate with each other – to get adequate care. Greater integration of care across providers and identifying a "medical home" where a survivor clearly understands who is in charge of their care may facilitate more efficient and effective management of their symptoms, side effects, and overall wellbeing. I hope survivorship care will move in this direction in the next 5 to 10 years.
I think we have to learn from our colleagues here in the U.S. and in other countries about different ways of identifying who needs what. So for those survivors who have greater needs, we need models that provide intensive care whereas for those who can manage their own needs, they can receive fewer services. We also need cost effective models of care to limit the burden on the healthcare system.
Lastly, we need more research around the best use of survivorship care plans, which provide a summary of a patient's treatments and a plan for ongoing monitoring of their health.

Hi there, I just submitted a new revision of d draft-reschke-basicauth-enc - see below (HTML version at <http://greenbytes.de/tech/webdav/draft-reschke-basicauth-enc-04.html>; this version also includes new hooks for providing feedback; please try!). At this point, I'd like to solicit additional feedback before I proceed; in particular: should this potentially be an Applications Area WG deliverable? With respect to intended status: in theory, this is a candidate for Experimental. However, Basic Authentication (as defined in RFC 2617) doesn't have a registry for extension parameters, so the cleanest approach appears to say "Updates 2617", which IMHO requires a standards track document. Best regards, Julian -------- Original Message -------- Subject: I-D Action: draft-reschke-basicauth-enc-04.txt Date: Sun, 29 Jan 2012 07:28:40 -0800 From: firstname.lastname@example.com Reply-To: firstname.lastname@example.com To: firstname.lastname@example.com A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories. Title : An Encoding Parameter for HTTP Basic Authentication Author(s) : Julian F. Reschke Filename : draft-reschke-basicauth-enc-04.txt Pages : 9 Date : 2012-01-29 The "Basic" authentication scheme defined in RFC 2617 does not properly define how to treat non-ASCII characters. This has lead to a situation where user agent implementations disagree, and servers make different assumptions based on the locales they are running in. There is little interoperability for characters in the ISO-8859-1 character set, and even less interoperability for any characters beyond that. This document defines a backwards-compatible extension to "Basic", specifying the server's character encoding expectation, using a new authentication scheme parameter.

Day 40:
I was uncertain of how to arrange my three days in Germany. As it happened I ended up ditching quite a few of my plans, in part due to the weather and in part due to work obligations. For example, I was going to take the train out to Moselkern and do the 90 minute hike to Burg Eltz, aka Rick Steves favorite castle in Europe. But between the rain, work, and the fact that the castle is getting extensive renovations done such that the outside if covered in scaffolding, I passed. Today's plan instead was to go to a place that Mr. Steves dislikes so much that he wouldn't even give it coverage in his Germany guide: Heidelburg. It is, as he puts it, very Americanized and touristy. It's also pretty cool.
Started the day with the free breakfast at the hotel. As promised, it was meat and cheese heavy, with very little in the way of sweet things or fruit. Probably good considering how many other sweets I'd eat in Germany.
|Meat. Cheese. Bread. Egg. Lather. Rinse. Repeat.
|Random but cool
The trip to Heidelburg is a pretty quick train ride. Only one problem for me: I followed the gentleman in front of me in boarding and sat down here:
|It's like the first Harry Potter movie - there's so much room you don't even get a crotch shot!
The conductor was not amused to see that I had a second class ticket and was sitting in first class. But this is a first class trip, sir! Ah well, lesson learned: look for the 1 or the 2 on the outside of the train first.
|Now you do.
As we neared the stop for Heidelburg, I headed towards the exit. Shortly after finding the doors, I was joined by two women, one of whom gave herself away as an American when she said "oops" after accidentally knocking the bathroom door open - very Danny kind of move there! I smiled at her and she asked me if this was the stop for Heidelburg. I think I answered something like "I hope so, but I'm an American so I have no clue". And at that, for the second time on the trip, I'd made some new friends for the day!
Since I had a map and some guidebook stuff on my iPad, we decided to head into town together and perhaps give the castle a try. While walking through the station we joined up with another American couple who were in for the day after taking a WWII guided tour throughout France and Germany. It became pretty clear early on that the gentleman preferred to go it alone and so they begged off of the group fairly early on. That left me with the original two delightful ladies, who I will assign the pseudonyms Mo and Wendy. Yes, those will do nicely.
The three of us made our way from the train station to the old town area, about a fifteen-minute walk away. We then wandered down Germany's longest pedestrian-only thoroughfare:
|Things they have in Europe: Blockbuster. Woolworth. Huh.
|Sounds like the kind of fine, upstanding academic institution that would hire me.
|Just ignore all of those vehicles behind this sign in the pedestrian zone. Thanks.
|This is what happens when you read too much kids. Someone bronzes your ass. Play it safe; get a DS.
|Adjectives that I never, ever associate with cosmetics: lush. Nouns that I never, ever associate with lush: lemon.
|Damn they are everywhere
|Speaking of things that are everywhere...
|Reminiscent of a certain earlier photo from Disneyland over a month ago
|Hard Rock Heidelburg? That is kind of awful.
|It's not really a mountain but come on, compared to what I'm going to get in a week back in Florida, it's Everest.
By this point it was just about noon and we were getting quite hungry. We looked a few different places but they were either (a) way too touristy or (b) only open for dinner. Finally we stopped in a hotel and I asked the woman at the front desk where she would go for lunch. She sent us across the street to a brewery and restaurant.
|That's some other tourist group taking a photo - they then left without eating or drinking anything. Good sign or bad?
|Just keep your mouth shut, Danny
Each of us ordered this drink that combined beer with sparkling wine and strawberries. I hate beer, but this was fantastic!
|Beer-ish thing that I actually liked
Wendy had the ravioli which, while not being a classic German dish, was the clear winner of the day. Mo and I helped ourselves liberally to Wendy's raviolis. I could go for some right now, in fact.
|Come to Germany for the beersparklinewinestrawberries and stay for the ravioli. Who knew?
I had the cheese and cold meats board. Very tasty and very filling.
|Look carefully and see if you can spot the slab of butter that is not, in fact, cheese.
Our waitress was absolutely adorable. Like everyone else in Germany (and unlike, say, the damn French) she spoke English very well but, much like the Japanese, she seemed just a bit embarrassed that she didn't speak it better. Look, I can say exactly six words in German, so you're already ahead of me on the second language thing!
After lunch we headed towards the castle on the hill. There were two options for getting up there: the tram (or funicular as it seems to be called everywhere else in the world) or walking the path. The tram seemed horribly overpriced and it was only once we'd walked the extremely steep, uneven cobblestone path up that we realized that it was included in the admission price we had to pay anyway. Whoops. Still, it meant that I didn't have to take the path down and for someone with my balance, walking down a steep path is far more dangerous.
|"Um, sir, yes, excuse me. Are you aware that you have a lion coming out of you butt? Oh. You are? Carry on then".
|This is way steeper than it looks
|A sign of how steep it is: that bench is level.
The views from the top were fantastic. The castle itself was also pretty excellent, including a very impressive Renaissance courtyard. Some photos:
|This better be worth the hike
|You certainly can feel the history here
|I think it's a clock? Either way it's awesome.
|Now for some spectacular views
It was nearing 1:45 and, with the euros on at 6 (and with an excellent Germany - Holland match in the cards), I said goodbye to the ladies and made my way back to the train station, doing some shopping and (of course) eating on the way:
|"We wanna perch on Scorsese's head"
|OMG adorable dog!
|Very little moments
|One of each, please.
|Behold. the dessert delicacy of Rothenburg ob der Tauber (located miles away from Heidelburg): Schneeballen
|Amaretto and marzipan? Sure, I'll have one.
|Not half bad
|And here's a photo of the world famous Heidelburg police station. Alright, it's not famous, I was just bored.
|What the hellass?
|What can I say? I really like bubble tea. Especially bubble tea that turns you into the Hulk.
I settled into the room for the night with a loaf of fresh baked bread and a whole lot of Coke Zero. The Netherlands broke my heart again and I deserved no less for picking a team full of prima donnas to win the whole tournament. At least RVP scored. If he leaves the Gunners this summer I may just sell all of my things, renounce worldly goods, and move to Tokyo DisneySea, where I will eat from the leftover popcorn kernels and live in the shadow of Mt. Prometheus. Actually that sounds pretty awesome. Can I go do that now?

The Screen Gems synopsis for THE CAT CREEPS begins: "Terry Nichols (Fred Brady), a reporter, learns that a fifteen-year-old suicide case was actually a murder." A few lines later, it explains that Terry is "told that the victim's soul passed into the body of a cat and will not be at peace until the murder is apprehended." This is an error in the description; actually, an old woman who claims to have information on the murder is killed while Terry is investigating the case, and it is her soul that is supposedly transmuted into the body of the black cat.
Whoever wrote up the capsule description of THE CAT CREEPS for the newspaper TV listing service misinterpreted the already incorrect Screen Gems synopsis even further:
San Antonio [TX] Light, July 17, 1960
The only explanation that I can come up for what happened here is that a copywriter for the service (I saw this same description in more than one newspaper) misread "fifteen year-old suicide case was actually murder" in the SHOCK! book as "a fifteen year-old's suicide was actually murder," thereby giving us "A teenager is murdered and her soul lingers in body of a cat." And actually, that erroneous TV listing description sounds like a much darker and more interesting movie than the one you would have seen if you had tuned in that Sunday night for THE CAT CREEPS.
Here's my own attempt at a quick synopsis: A new clue has surfaced in a suicide of bootlegger Eric Goran that suggests that a senatorial candidate is involved, so a newspaper sends a smug, wise-cracking reporter and his photographer to investigate. Before long, the reporter, the photographer, the senatorial candidate, his daughter, his lawyer, his lawyer's ailurophobic secretary, and his lawyer's shady private eye operative are all gathered in an old house on a remote island where the elderly witness, Cora Williams, lives with a hidden $200,000 stash of Goran's loot. The old woman is killed (strangled, I think, but it is never entirely made clear); a woman claiming to be Goran's daughter Kyra shows up in the house with a black cat in her arms and she says that the cat has been taken over by Cora Williams's spirit and it now has "superhuman" and "supernatural" powers. Then a few more people get killed off and everyone's a suspect, AND THEN THERE WERE NONE-style.
The movie is a mess of plot holes and hurriedly-explained back-stories, but more importantly, it is not a horror movie. When all is said and done, it is murder-mystery despite its forced flirtation with "weird mystery" atmospheres and the conventions of the "old dark house" subgenre. (In 1930, Universal made a film called THE CAT CREEPS which was a re-make of that 1927 classic, THE CAT AND THE CANARY. This 1946 movie has absolutely nothing to do with that story.) Because it pulls back from its horror-movie inclinations, THE CAT CREEPS was probably considered a very versatile picture by program directors at television stations; as I was looking at listings from between 1957 and 1962, the movie shows up in late-night showcases where other SHOCK! titles were featured but it also surfaced a lot more in late-morning and afternoon movie slots.
Yet despite its shying away from its potential horrors and of all the ineptitude, confusion, and misdirection surrounding the production of this B-movie (it was originally released in 1946 in support of SHE-WOLF OF LONDON), I didn't mind it. It's reviled as one of the most disappointing films of the Universal horror canon, but if one can watch it with the lowest possible expectations (in other words, if you hadn't seen the macabre "murdered-teenage girl's-soul-in-a-black-cat" description in the TV listings), then you might be able to kick back with a mildly diverting late-night hour's worth of viewing. I've been far less patient with the movie in the past, but anchoring it in the context of SHOCK! seemed to lessen my aggravation this time.
One thing that I found interesting in researching THE CAT CREEPS for my viewing project was its appearance in a few movie theaters in the Midwest and the South in 1957-- I would've expected FRANKENSTEIN and DRACULA to still be making the rounds even though it was included in the the SHOCK! assortment, but I certainly didn't think that THE CAT CREEPS would be, too.
I want to call attention to one particular instance of its theatrical run, specifically at the Pocomoke theater in south-central Maryland at the end of May 1957 where it was billed as part of a spook show (since the other two movies were a Western and an Abbott and Costello comedy, I'm going to say that THE CAT CREEPS was meant to be the feature that followed the "Ghost Party").
Salisbury [MD] Times, May 29, 1957
The "Midnight Ghost Party" spookshow (note that "midnight" is erased from the ad since the show probably began at dusk at the Pocomoke) was hosted by the "noted mental scientist" and "physiognomist," Kirma. You'll notice that the Pocomoke theater was a drive-in; Mark Walker's Ghostmasters identifies Kirma as a performer and entrepreneur who actually specialized in drive-in spookshows, often performing on the roof of the refreshment stand or the building that housed the projection booth in an elegant white dinner jacket.
Given that the spookshow magicians were the precursors to the TV horror movie hosts who frequently presented the SHOCK! films, I found this instance of Kirma and THE CAT CREEPS to be worthy of mention. I probably would've enjoyed THE CAT CREEPS a lot more at a drive-in in 1957 with Kirma's spookshow monsters pounding on the roof of my car than I did watching it alone last night on DVD.

SACRAMENTO — For the second year in a row, an abundance of riches enabled California's frugal Republican governor, George Deukmejian, to outline a state spending plan that at once upstaged the Democratic-controlled Legislature and enabled him to offer a little something for almost everyone.
The governor Thursday preempted most of the Democrats' symbolic rallying points by proposing spending hikes virtually across the board that in many cases are much higher than the rate of inflation. Even social programs, which two years ago were a Deukmejian target, are due f1869750369 But this is not to say that the leopard has totally changed his spots.
Deukmejian described his plan, the third budget he has proposed since taking office, as a "blueprint for sound management," and, indeed, there are elements of vintage Deukmejian in it--a reduction in the state work force and cuts in such disfavored Deukmejian agencies as the state Coastal Commission and the Agricultural Labor Relations Board.
It also contains no dramatic new initiatives, other than creation of a new department to fight toxic waste, and only $75 million to cover any new spending programs that the Legislature might want to enact.

Hello, again!! I hope everyone had a wonderful, beautiful, sweet Thanksgiving holiday. My husband and I had a wonderful weekend spending time with both of our sweet families. I have so much to be thankful for!
I spent a little while trying to figure out which delicious goodie I should make this Thanksgiving. After much deliberation I decided to make sweet potato cupcakes with marshmallow frosting. I've had them before but I can't remember where. I remember thinking that they sounded so weird, but, of course, it was love at first bite (like most things I consume). I found a recipe on Pinterest and couldn't wait to try it out! They were SO yummy.
Here's the link to the recipe:
Some notes:
- I baked 3 sweet potatoes in the oven on 400 the night before, took off the skin, then threw them in my Kitchen Aid mixer to mash them up. I then kept them in a tupperware container in the fridge over night so they'd be ready to go the next day. Definitely worth it not having to do that the day I made them.
- I didn't toast the marshmallow frosting like it said to. Like many people, I don't have a torch laying around my kitchen.
- I think I mixed the marshmallow frosting too long. I would NOT peak like it was supposed to. I mixed it for over 20 minutes, watching it the whole time. It peaked a little bit, but not like it was supposed to. I eventually got way too bored staring at it in the mixer and went ahead and piped it onto my cupcakes with an icing bag. It all shlunked (in honor of The Grinch) down into the cupcake cup and didn't hold its shape though. It made me glad that I didn't fill the cupcake cups entirely up with batter. All of the icing would've fallen off without the rim of the cup and made a HUGE mess.
- The marshmallow frosting tastes a LOT like 7 Minute frosting. Just as messy to make, unfortunately. MMMMMMMM
- It made 24 cupcakes and 6 mini cupcakes (for me...you know...to sample and make sure they were alright)
- After I iced them, I sprinkled some light brown sugar onto them and added a fondant leaf/acorn. I made those with fondant (Mary Carter/Hobby Lobby/Michaels), color gel (same places), and cookie cutters.
And here are some pics!
They're not the prettiest creations I've ever made but they're definitely delicious. Perfect for fall or the holidays!! Sweet potato cupcakes were definitely something I was thankful for this year :)
And here's another goodie I made the same day for a sweet family. They were celebrating multiple birthdays on Thanksgiving day.
Visit my cake website if you get the chance!
And here are a few pics from our Thanksgiving: Hedgepeth/Cave style (with a little Gangnam Style thrown in)

Announced on February 24th by Google, the latest algorithm change targets sites that contain duplicate or very low quality content, many of which are often referred to as "content farms". The problem with content farms is that they would always rank well in search results for popular queries, even if they contained duplicate or shallow content. To address this issue, Google made a change to its algorithm which now negatively impacts the rankings of many pages on these sites. The change has also affected about 12% of all search queries, which is a fairly large percentage compared to other minor tweaks the company is constantly making to its algorithm. Some notable sites that were negatively impacted in rankings by this change are some popular shopping engines that would often duplicate or "scrape" content from ecommerce sites selling on their shopping sites.
So what should you do as a site owner to make sure you are benefitting the most from this change? Well, just as we have always stressed, you should always be creating unique, well written content for your site. Not only will having unique, quality content show Google you are creating quality pages for the web, which can help your site's visibility in search engines, but it will also encourage links from other sites that find your content helpful or interesting. As you are working on creating this content for your newer pages, don't forget to go back to your already existing pages and make sure that they are also unique. If you find another site is copying your content, reach out to them and ask them to remove it or consider rewriting the page if they are unresponsive.

Nonsense from the American Cancer Society
Last week, the New York City Council voted to ban all flavored tobacco products. While the ban excludes menthol cigarettes, it effectively prohibits many smokeless tobacco products that are vastly safer alternatives to cigarettes. This action means smokers who wish to quit without abstaining from nicotine will have fewer options available. That's perfectly acceptable to tobacco prohibitionists, who claim that the law will prevent smoking by children, even though adolescent smokers overwhelmingly prefer unflavored cigarettes (see my post on flavored products, here).
On October 16, Jeff Stier, associate director of the American Council on Science and Health, wrote a commentary in the New York Post that was justifiably critical of the ban. Stier observed that smokeless tobacco and e-cigarettes "are noncombustible, eliminating almost all smoking risks. They could be a lifesaver; the only reason to crack down is the ideology of the public-health movement, which has decided that anything that has tobacco in it, or even looks like a cigarette, must be illegal, even for sale to adult smokers trying to stop smoking." Stier concluded that these types of "government actions will do nothing to protect kids. The only effect is to promote the most dangerous form of tobacco use, smoking cigarettes." Stier's comments reflect ACSH's position as a relentless opponent of smoking, but a strong supporter of tobacco harm reduction.
On October 22, the American Cancer Society responded to Stier with a letter to the Post from Clare Bradley, Chief Medical Officer of the Eastern Division. What Dr. Bradley said was pure nonsense.
Dr. Bradley claims that "using snus does not eliminate the risk of lung cancer. Smokers who use smokeless tobacco as a supplemental source of nicotine in an effort to quit smoking actually increase their risk of lung cancer." Is it possible that a Cancer Society official actually believes that smokeless tobacco increases the risk for lung cancer?
Dr. Bradley's prescription for smokers desperate to quit: "The best way to quit smoking is not to start." She tells smokers who may not be able to accomplish that task that "nicotine-replacement therapy [NRT], when paired with a program to help change behavior, is a proven cessation method."
What is "proven" about NRT is that it works for only 7% of smokers who try it.
By opposing tobacco harm reduction, the American Cancer Society is working against the health and welfare of smokers.

I really wanted to make this cat in to something Halloween themed so chose to decorate a candlestick.
To decorate the cat I applied Viva Decor Ferro paste in charcoal and stamped with a Tim Holtz stamp to make the texture. I dried it with a heat gun to also give a bubbled effect. Once dry I painted black paint in to the grooves and then rubbed off the top layer of paint so that the Ferro showed through. I lightly sponged some silver acrylic paint over the top and finished off by rubbing on some pearl grey and berry metallic paints on parts. The Tando chipboard is so thick it really does take any medium you put on it!
The candlestick was originally black however I coloured it with alcohol inks to make it more purple and mottled. The paper tag is made with Rusty Pickle paper and the circles attached to wire are stamped with Papertrey Ink Halloween Tag stamps and punched out.
Thanks for looking....x

Hi Loves! I hope 2017 has been treating you all well so far. I'm back with another style post! This is look is one of my absolute favorites that I've put together on this blog. It's affordable, stylish, and sophisticated with a hint of sexy. In other words, it's so me! I've always admired the cape look on other woman but I didn't quite know how it would look on me. I have pretty board shoulders and the cape look draws attention to your shoulders. However, I'm so glad that I decided to purchase this cape blazer on Forever21.com.
I paired this blazer with a slip dress that is also from Fovever21.com. I'm slightly obsessed with Forever21 but it is for a good reason. I also get outfits that are great quality for an affordable price. Shopping for makeup and clothes while making sure I cover all of my bills every month is tough. Not mention the fact that I'd like to save more this year. #thestruggleisreal If you look expensive, no one has to know that you mainly shop the sales. Except for you guys of course! ;)
I'm loving this slip press just as much as I love the blazer. Although the dress isn't black, it is a solid dark color so it doesn't clash with the strips. The dress hugs my curves but the length and material make the dress appropriate for business or play. My black closed toe heels are from www.shoedazzle.com. They are simple but really tie in the black stripes on the blazer.
I realize that many people look at my style posts and feel these styles aren't for their body types. I say find your fit and show off those curves! Though I'm working towards my fitness goals, I think it's important to be body positive at any size. I love my curves and it doesn't matter what I weigh. Health is the most important.
Much love always! <3

Senator Jon Kyl
Arizona Senator Jon Kyl will be my guest in studio this afternoon, as he is making a trip through California and is gracious enough to stop by and chat in person.
Senator Kyl is a great senator, and the Democrats are running a deep pockets self-funder against him, so he needs to raise money at a clip that will allow him to stay up on Arizon media throughout the summer.
You can contribute online here.
I'll discuss the New York Times' war on the war with the senator, as well as judicial nominees William Haynes and Boyle, and the letter he and five other senators sent to the White House last week urging that the pace of new nominations from the White House be stepped up. (HT to the wonderful new TimChapman.com via ConfirmThem.com) More background on the Haynes/Boyle nominations is here on Robert Bluey's excellent blog, RightAngle.

The faint apparition appears just in front of a writing bureau.
Viewers believe this to be John Dillinger himself, a criminal who was shot dead by the FBI in 1934.
John Herbert Dillinger, Jr. (June 22, 1903 – July 22, 1934) was an American bank robber in Depression-era United States. He was charged with, but never convicted of, the murder of an East Chicago police officer during a shoot-out. This was his only alleged homicide. His gang robbed two dozen banks and four police stations. Dillinger escaped from jail twice.
On July 22, the police and Division of Investigation closed in on the Biograph Theater, Chicago. Federal agents, led by Melvin Purvis, moved to arrest him as he left the theater. He pulled a weapon and attempted to flee but was shot three times and killed.
