Chronic disease is a major problem in U.S. health care. More than
one-third of Americans have one or more chronic diseases, including
heart disease, diabetes, and cancer. The personal costs to patients and
families are often severe, daily, and ongoing. The economic costs to
society are almost $1 trillion annually.1
In recent years, study after study has shown that physical activity is
one of the top factors in lowering the risk of developing chronic
disease. Risk of diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and even cancer are
lowered by consistent, moderate exercise.

If you use cheap or even free internet traffic to your
STUMBLE UPON SITE you will be way ahead of
most marketers over night.
Since I run a program devoted to
Stumble Upon is a must for my outreach.
When you first sign up, you check a bunch of things that
interest you. It basically begins to set up a sort of personalized
profile for you. Then you click the Stumble button, and it directs
you to websites based on your interests. You can then either
ignore them, give them a Thumbs Up / Favorite or a Thumbs Down.
Each rating adds data to your profile, so the more you use it,
the more interesting stuff it delivers.
However by linking and sending traffic to your STUMBLE UPON
SITE your listing you will have a clear advantage of sticking out
more than other promotions.
See You There :

Deary, deary me. I missed a post yesterday. Oh the shame! Oh the horror! I've committed a blogger's sin. That's fine. I'm cool with it because that means today's post is extra super special as I've got a whole host of things I'm loving that I'd like to share with you. I'm afraid your weekly pink-love injection will have to wait until tomorrow...
Read on and enjoy your Friday!
* I loves me some travelling and I sure do loves me some 5* holidays. But sometimes, the supposed 5-starredness of a holiday doesn't meet your high expectations. Enter concierge.com who have put together a list of how to make the cheaper holiday experience BETTER than the more expensive one. Hallelujah!
* Iwannagothere.com is kinda like the younger, cooler, hipper version of Tripadvisor. People who've travelled to or live in the destination will recommend hot spots and things to do as well as great boutique hotels. It's still in it's early stages, meaning the numbers of tips and hotels doesn't come anywhere near to that of Tripadvisor but the more we spread the word and the more people use the site, the better it'll get. If you don't want to be overwhelmed by choice, this is the place to go.
* I love the Sugar and Charm blog and the more I read it, the more I wish I lived in a country home with a vast, luscious, foresty backyard where I could entertain my guests al-fresco. The wedding and event designers have put together their top tips on Being a Charming Hostess. I dare you to read these and NOT instantly start making plans for your next dinner party.
* Gala Darling always come up trumps. The other day as I was perusing her blog, she mentioned this awesomest of AWESOME sites, 8tracks.com. It's kinda like Spotify in that people put playlists together and you can listen to them - whatever. But the beauty of this site is that you don't need to download anything and it's also a lot prettier to look at. The members write great and oh-so accurate descriptions of their playlists and they will play one after the other without you having to do anything. It has become my background soundtrack for when I'm working.
* Ingenious or gross, I don't know! But take a look at the Grossest Billboard Ever for the new film Contagion (in cinemas in the US now and in the UK October 21). It's got people talking, it's got people feeling, it's got people reacting - job done!
* Continuing in the marketing vein, check out these 10 Big Brands That Stopped Being Cool. Absolutely fascinating! I remember when Nokia phones were all the rage. And the truth about the Marlboro Men is positively fascinating. It makes you wonder what brands today will stop being cool in the not-so-distant future...any thoughts?
* If you, like me, like to look at endless pretty pictures of glorious food (it's almost as good as actually eating it...almost) then have I got the site/app for you! If you haven't discovered Food Gawker yet you are in for one heck of a treat! Download for your iPhone or just visit the site, but you will never be lost for pretty pictures of the sweet & savoury stuff. Click on the pictures and you'll be taken through to their original blog post and recipe (all the pictures are taken from blogs). There's also the crafting and DIY equivalent, Craft Gawker.
* The mister and I have been discussing places we'd want to move to if the situation in Greece gets any worse than it is now. Lately, I've been loving on Copenhagen. How could I not after reading the below entry on Wikipedia and reading this post of Joanna Goddard's
"Copenhagen has repeatedly been recognized as one of the cities with the best quality of life. It is also considered one of the world's most environmentally friendly cities. The water in the inner harbour is clean and safe for swimming. 36% of all citizens commute to work by bicycle. Every day, they cycle a combined 1.2 million km."
It's consistently in the top 10 (if not top 5) happiest countries lists (as seen here and here) and has the highest standard of living in the world. Other Scandinavian countries like Sweden, Finland and Norway are also frequently at the very top of these lists.
Watch below for some audiovisual Denmark-ian love.

Instinet analyst Jeffrey Kvaal wrote Tuesday that he sees "new drivers brewing" for Apple Inc. AAPL, -0.22% even as iPhone X demand seems to be falling short of the company's initial expectations. In a note to clients, Kvaal argued that the "era of supercycle may be over," but he's optimistic about the potential for secondhand phone sales to continue growing the company's installed base. He noted that Apple's base did in fact grow during the latest quarter, which to him "implies services - and perhaps the Watch - can emerge as meaningful drivers by ~2020." Kvaal believes that the services business could account for more than a third of the company's overall gross profit dollars by 2020. Still, he kept his neutral rating on the stock. Apple shares are down 0.2% in Tuesday morning trading and up 22% over the past 12 months. The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, +1.74% has gained 20% in that time.

As vegetarians who try very hard to be vegan most of the time, we feel a certain responsibility to be calm, rational representatives for those who eschew meat. Mostly this involves common-sense things like not glaring at people when they eat meat in front of us and not being demanding when over to other people's house for meals.
But, we do expect some respect in return. Which is why this article from J. Bryan Lowder at Slate, entitled "Chicken Stock Doesn't Count as Meat," is so infuriating.
The author begins with a story:
My hand, grasping a ladle full of steaming amber liquid, froze in mid-air. […] oh God, the stock. He was talking about the stock. Vegetarians were at that moment speeding up the express subway track toward our home, and, despite my efforts to craft a menu that would appease them, I had just failed by using chicken stock in the mushroom risotto … or had I?
I flashed my chilliest Stepford smile at him as I gently stirred the liquid into the hissing pot. "You won't say a word, will you, sweetie?"
He goes on to say "Sorry I'm not sorry" for lying to his friends because his addition of chicken stock wasn't malicious, it was an accident! But even if deliberately stirring the ingredient into his dish wasn't an accident, vegetarians should just take a chill pill:
But the more I meditate on this issue, the more I think that it is not I who should feel guilty, even for an honest mistake. […] When I have vegetarians over for dinner, I'm already making a sacrifice by forgoing a real entrée in favor of a meatless one. Fairness and common sense would argue that, in return, vegetarians shouldn't make a big deal about some small amount of a near-invisible (if crucial!) liquid. I've compromised my culinary integrity enough already—now it's your turn: Vegetarians and vegans, chicken stock does not count as meat.
And here is the crux of Lowder's argument: something made out of chicken that requires a chicken to be killed doesn't count as meat because it's liquid! Everyone knows that meat is only solid.
We won't bore you by quoting the veritable love poem to chicken stock that follows in the next paragraph. Needless to say, Lowder thinks you simply can't be a real cook without using chicken stock. Why, according to him, it's like putting "a chunky sludge of rotting leaves and other decaying organic matter" into your Ferrari!
But just in case you thought that Lowder was being dismissive of vegetarians or was putting his own "culinary integrity" ahead of a vegetarian's ethical integrity, fear not! Lowder is really on your side!
But I know for a fact that many other vegetarians are hardy, practical folk who just care about the environment and the ethical treatment of animals. I'm with you on all that! Which, actually, is one of the main reasons I make stock. If I'm going to roast an organic, free-range, hazelnut-fed chicken, the most respectful thing I can do afterward is to make the most of the remaining flesh and bone, which most people just toss out. I'm being a responsible, frugal meat eater by doing this—can't vegetarians acknowledge my effort by letting slide the few tablespoons that might end up in their soup?
Lowder, friend, let's sit down for a moment and have a chat. As vegetarians, we both acknowledge and respect your efforts to be a responsible meat eater. However, we have decided that to honor our own beliefs of what is most ethical, we should not eat any meat at all. After all, even your organic, free-range chicken had to die a horrible, painful death before it became your stock.
So, how about instead of asking us to violate our own beliefs, you just accept a nice pat on the back instead?
Of course, Lowder's not just concerned about himself. He's also worried about society and how it will hold up under the crushing weight of bad manners.
While I realize that etiquette is on the wane at this late date, I maintain that it is very impolite to straight-up refuse something someone has taken the time to make for you (and the other, probably carnivorous people present) because of your personal preference. […] (And if you feel tempted to suggest that she take the time to whip up some creepily earthy vegetable stock to make a special, separate batch of risotto just for you, check yourself with these wise word: Ain't nobody got time for that.)
So, is this chicken-broth-risotto the only dish in the whole meal? Is he just serving up a giant trough of risotto? Because if that's the case, then yes, it may be rude to sit at the dinner table with an empty plate and glare around the room.
But it sounds more like Lowder made a whole meal that was vegetarian. Remember, he had to "sacrifice" his dreams of a real entree (*sniff*). How is it rude to pass on one dish, then?
Furthermore, there are plenty of vegetarians who will opt to make one exception for an honest mistake, promptly revealed. However, I don't know any vegetarian who would think it was more polite to have their host (and friend!) lie to them about what was in a dish. Yet this is the argument Lowder makes in the last paragraph:
I'm not naïve; I realize that for some partisans, no invocations of science, ethics, or good manners will be enough to convince them that stock is the special, compromise-worthy case I'm suggesting.
What aspect of "science, ethics, or good manners" is exactly on your side Lowder? First, scientifically, chicken is still chicken no matter how small. It still requires an animal to be killed for our consumption, which is a fundamental reason we are vegetarians; we do not want to consume animals in any form, even if the only thing in your wonder stock is 1/100th of the bird. So far, you are going against our ethics and flying in the face of the science of "chicken remains chicken."
Also, it is not good manners to blatantly disregard friends' longstanding ethical choices. Presumably these vegetarians speeding his way on the express train are people Lowder knows well; part of respecting your friends is respecting their ethics, which is not done here. Essentially, his article boils down to "I know the ethical choices my friends made, but I don't like them because it inconveniences me. They may be willing to take steps to lessen that inconvenience by bringing other dishes or the like, but I cannot allow them to submit themselves to such dishes when they could partake of my Wonder Stock."
Which is why, in the end, perhaps the tried-and-true model of "don't ask, don't tell" is the best policy. We all know that if I didn't tell you there was a little chicken stock in that veggie stir fry, you wouldn't know and therefore couldn't care. You would just recognize, in the less radicalized, more human parts of your soul, that the ingredients I had assembled for you in the pan were freaking delicious and be grateful for the passing brush with gustatory happiness.
You know, there's another culinary genius who would absolutely agree with this argument:

It's here on my lilac wall, waiting for a new home. The linen mat is slightly off-white and it really softens up the whole piece. We tried with with white and other colours but it clashed or looked too stark. This choice makes me proud to show you.
I never know with these new pieces, how they will work in a frame. Now I have a stack of round embroideries that I'm creating. Not sure what the plan is. Maybe I can cut foam core perfectly round to mount these on to. We shall see...
Before I forget - Friday at 1 pm is the Silk Ribbon Floral Embroidery class at my studio. The class is full & waitlisted. For those of you who are signed up, I look forward to stitching pretties with you then! : )
Have a great day,

I finally got her to wear this yellow gingham skirt that I made for her. She didn't want to wear them at first because it was not pink. But it was so cute on her, don't you think?
I made the skirt from one of the Japanese sewing book that I got.
It was really easy and I love the suspender straps that cross at the back.
The skirt has an elastic at the back and flatted front which I think is prettier.
I've cut up alot of fabric for sewing so if I can steal some sewing time this week, hopefully can share them. I've so many books now and I've trouble just finding which pattern to sew first.
By the way, just to get some feedback here. Do you want to a review of the sewing books that I've? I've alot of Japanese sewing book and couple of english ones. I love them and think it is really pretty since the shape are quite simple and easy sewing if you know how to read the picture/graphs.
Let me know so I can categories it and put it on the blog.

She knew which one to pick, it was a routine task for her.
Orders kept coming, deliveries were on, Suzy was comfortable with the noise around her. A la Carte was a famous food joint at Checkers Street, where she worked.
3 chopping boards away Lily was a new trainee. Even after 8 months of practice, she could not grasp the basics. From chopping to serving, she erred on every front.
Suzy had given her best, to train Lily. Despite guidance and assistance, Lily stayed as she was,with no improvements. Now Suzy had given up on her.
Engrossed in thoughts over the time she wasted on Lily, Suzy placed the last egg plant beneath the knife.
Gripped by thoughts, she lost grip over the egg plant. In a matter of seconds, the vegetable skid and the knife slit Suzy's finger.
The busyness around her continued, but her activities momentarily stopped. She realized , the knife that chopped her finger was the "most blunt knife" on the stand. For a tender vegetable like Egg plant, she had deliberately chosen it.But now..it had chopped her finger really hard.
Suzy's Learning : Everyone has potential. Its a matter of time, to unleash it.
PS - Suzy, Lily and Ala Carte are purely fictional. But the thought and the finger is mine.

The September 1982 issue of Texas Monthly reviews The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas shortly after its release: "Nearly every lingerie ensemble whipped up by costume designer Theadora Van Runkle is a frilly, plunging horror."
Doug Tomlinson writes in the September-October 1991 issue of American Film, of Thea's
'romantic' style: sensual satins, furs, lace, and velvet. With The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas, she was allowed to indulge that latter penchant to great effect, director Colin Higgins agreeing with her that costumes are an effective shorthand to character. In that film Dolly Parton was never more appropriately, nor more lavishly attired: one costume, dubbed 'Miss Mona Aflame with Passion,' cost $7,000.
I'm assuming the above drawing is of that $7,000 piece, as fiery and passionate as it is. Theadora, who went on to dress Parton again in 1984's Rhinestone, was really allowed to let the camp loose in Whorehouse, giving Miss Mona and her chorus of hookers the full "romantic" style treatment. Maybe it took critics nine years' worth of perspective to fully appreciate the designer who twice packaged that Tennessean gem, swathing her in dazzling blue-streaked crimson with taffeta sleeves that morph into a boa.
Theadora Van Runkle passed away this last November. Lucky for us, her wide array of clever wardrobe creations have all been captured on film. Her energetic sketches are a little harder to track down, but there are a few posted here. She is much missed.

The end may be near for our state's misguided pork-barrel ditch. It's encouraging that Congress is moving at last to deauthorize the Cross-Florida Barge Canal.
Work on the canal was halted in 1971 because of environmental concerns, and studies have shown that the canal cannot be justified economically. Even so, Congress has refused to kill it. Now a proposed compromise may remove the canal from the list of navigable water projects that get federal funds.

Side Impact Collisions
Side impact collisions – also known as "T-bone" or "broadsided", happen when one side of the car except front and rear side is struck by other vehicle.Lateral side impact accidents happen on multi lane highway while crossing the lanes and not reviewing the front and rear mirror properly. Even this is prevalent on icy highway or near a tree/obstacle spinning other vehicle. . More likely Car may spin totally leading to brain and skull injuries at worst. Vehicle damage and occupants inside suffer from huge injuries when front side of the car collides with tremendous force and velocity.
Like most crashes, the severity and impact of damage and collision depend on whether a small vehicle like motorcycle is struck or a heavy loaded truck, the safety features installed in vehicle, the speed of travel of both the vehicles and weight/construction.

Work-family policy debate in the United States has focused on work and the workplace, and has presumed its primary beneficiaries are women. Women's increased participation in the workplace brought the conflict between work and family sharply into view, and generated solutions geared toward assisting women. An underlying assumption has been that men would change at home by taking on a fair share of family work and care, consistent with norms of equality and gender neutrality.
Consistent with these norms, if equality were defined as co-equal shared parenting to balance dual wage-earning, equality would generate a revolutionary shift in fatherhood. Recalibration toward equality, however, has not taken place. Women continue to not only do wage work but also do a "second shift" of household and family work.
Most men are not coequal caregivers; at best, they are secondary caregivers, at worst, uninvolved with their children."New census data on family living arrangements suggest that fewer fathers may be participating in their children's lives than in any period since the United States began keeping reliable statistics." The persistence of inequality is linked to the minimal scope of the United States' work-family policy as well as ongoing employment discrimination against women despite their increased presence in the workplace.
Beyond the lack of supportive policy and persistent discrimination, however, is the slow pace of change at home. The dramatic change in the position of women with respect to wage work—albeit still unequal to men—has not been matched by a similar change in men's role and work at home. While the ideal of care has changed, the reality has shifted only slightly.What is the reason for this asymmetric pattern? The answer, I suggest, lies in the construction of masculinities.
If we want to achieve a different reality of men's care, then we must reconstruct masculinities. In order to have a better father, you must have a better man. . .

Federal sentencing law is in the midst of a period of profound change. In 1984, responding to concerns about excessive judicial discretion in sentencing, Congress created the United States Sentencing Commission to promulgate the United States Sentencing Guidelines (Guidelines), a complex and mandatory schedule of federal criminal sentences based on a multitude of offense- and offender-specific factors. The Guidelines were introduced in 1987 and governed federal sentencing for nearly twenty years. But in 2005, the Supreme Court held that the Guidelines, by requiring judges instead of juries to find facts that could increase a defendant's sentence, violated the Sixth Amendment. The Court's remedy was to render the Guidelines advisory only—a starting point but not necessarily the endpoint for sentencing decisions. Over the past several years, the Supreme Court and the lower federal courts have had to answer a range of questions about how the new advisory Guideline system would work in practice. Among the most consequential were the procedural question of how a district court should apply the now-advisory Guidelines, and the substantive question of whether a court could vary from the Guidelines on the basis of a policy disagreement with the Guidelines themselves rather than the circumstances of an individual defendant. The Supreme Court answered these two crucial questions in the Gall and Kimbrough cases in December 2007, yet these two decisions seemed to talk past each other in terms of sentencing procedure. Kimbrough authorized policy-based variances. Gall instructed courts how to apply the advisory
Guidelines in individual cases. But neither case explained how or when in the sentencing process courts should apply the policy-based variances the Court had just authorized. The result has been a lack of procedural uniformity among district courts applying policy-based variances, with most courts mingling policy and individualized considerations without specifying the role of each factor in determining sentences. Most courts have not even acknowledged, much less attempted to bridge, the gap between the substantive sentencing considerations authorized in Kimbrough and the procedural roadmap laid out in Gall. Academic discourse has likewise left this issue unaddressed.
This Article urges courts to reconcile Kimbrough and Gall by adding an analytical step to the sentencing process through which courts can explicitly apply policy considerations separately from, and prior to, individualized considerations. The blending of policy- and individual-based factors in sentencing adversely affects both the fairness of individual sentences and the development of the Sentencing Guidelines themselves. When courts blend different types of variances together, it is more difficult for them to exercise fully each type of discretion available under the advisory Guideline regime. Additionally, the Sentencing Commission relies on a continuing dialogue with district courts to fulfill its perpetual responsibility of refining the Guidelines based on empirical data and national experience; a clear articulation of courts' grounds for variance, therefore, provides vital information about how the Guidelines can be improved. The creation of an independent analytical step will ensure faithfulness to Kimbrough and due consideration of each facet of the sentencing court's discretion. The result will be a sentencing process that is more precise, more transparent, and ultimately fairer.
The average human loses between forty and one hundred strands of hair every day. Humans make one liter of saliva each day. In a lifetime, the average human sheds about forty pounds of skin. Hair, skin, and saliva are just a few ways in which individuals leave behind traces of their identity in the form of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). DNA has become an irrefutable method for identifying a person. In essence, humans are constantly leaving traces of their identity everywhere they go.
In the past decade, DNA has transformed criminal procedure jurisprudence. Law enforcement officers and prosecutors now rely heavily on DNA to solve crimes. DNA reveals unique genetic information about an individual's race, ethnicity, and medical risks for diseases such as breast cancer or the risk of having a child with cystic fibrosis. Access to a person's DNA provides a dangerously intimate blueprint of a person's body. If misused, DNA information could cause a person to be stigmatized, discriminated against, or targeted for criminal prosecution. Some scientists have even proffered the idea of a behavioral gene predisposing an individual to a tendency to commit crimes. Easy access to DNA exposes an individual's most private and intimate information to the world.
As genetic information becomes increasingly easy to obtain, it renews the timeless debate over precisely which circumstances trigger an individual's right to privacy. An individual's right to be left alone has deep roots in English common law, but it continues to be the subject of contentious legal debate today. Although advancements in science and technology have many advantages, these advancements can sometimes encroach upon individual privacy rights. Unless DNA is protected by law, government access to an individual's genetic information will greatly undermine Americans' Fourth Amendment rights. In response to the dire need to protect an individual's private genetic information, the Massachusetts Legislature introduced a Genetic Bill of Rights (GBR) that would establish property and privacy rights for genetic information and genetic material.
This Note explores the proposed Genetic Bill of Rights—including the current proposed version's flaws—and makes recommendations for a more effective version. Part II.A summarizes Fourth Amendment history and the basis of the constitutionally implied right to privacy. Part II.B presents different legal theories for protecting DNA. Part II.C studies and explains the proposed Massachusetts Genetic Bill of Rights. Part II.D studies the application of conflict of laws in criminal procedure. With conflict-of-laws principles as a foundation, Part III analyzes the effectiveness and validity of the proposed Genetic Bill of Rights. . .
On November 4, 1995, Leandro Andrade was arrested for the benign offense of shoplifting $84.70 worth of children's movies from a K-Mart store located in Ontario, California. Just fourteen days later, Andrade was again arrested for stealing $68.84 of children's movies in Montclair, California. A life of crime was nothing new to Andrade. In fact, Andrade had been in and out of prison since 1982 for a host of offenses, including petty theft, first-degree residential burglary, and transporting marijuana.
In 1994, California adopted a "Three Strikes and You're Out" law (three strikes law), which is an antirecidivist law that mandates a sentence of twenty-five years to life in prison upon a criminal's third felony conviction if the criminal has two prior serious or violent felony convictions. The State charged and convicted Andrade of two counts of petty theft with a prior conviction for shoplifting children's videotapes—a felony in California. Tragically, because Andrade had two prior violent or serious felony convictions, a judge sentenced Andrade to serve two consecutive terms of twenty-five years to life in prison. Leandro Andrade will not be eligible for parole until 2046, at which time he will be eighty-seven years old.
If California's three strikes law is considered overly broad, at the opposite end of the spectrum is Georgia's version, which only applies to seven specific offenses. Colloquially known as Georgia's "Seven Deadly Sins Law" (two strikes law), Georgia's two strikes law is considered the nation's harshest because it only takes two strikes—as opposed to three—for a criminal to be "out." A criminal who is convicted for committing a second serious violent felony is sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole or any other sentence-reducing measures. In Ortiz v. State, Robert Ortiz was charged and convicted of rape, aggravated sodomy, and burglary in Georgia. Because the crimes of rape and aggravated sodomy are categorized as serious violent felonies, Ortiz will spend the rest of his life behind bars without any hope for parole.
Here are two versions of a three strikes law, two repeat offenders with differing criminal histories, two very different triggering offenses, and yet, both Leandro Andrade and Robert Ortiz will spend the rest of their lives behind bars. The message both California and Georgia are trying to send to recidivists, although not equally clear in California's case, is that if you continually commit a certain class of felonies, you are going to prison for life. Yet, when juxtaposed, these specific outcomes inevitably beg the question: Does incarcerating a repeat offender for life—in Andrade's case, for petty theft—violate the Eighth Amendment's proscription against cruel and unusual punishment? Moreover, do the social and financial costs saved from prevented crimes warrant the frequent use of three strikes laws in California and Georgia? Or rather, are these laws needlessly filling prisons with lifelong prisoners who, as they age, will only cost states more to incarcerate?
This Note compares California's and Georgia's versions of a three strikes law. Part II of this Note briefly discusses the meaning of the Eighth Amendment's Cruel and Unusual Punishment Clause as interpreted by the United States Supreme Court. Additionally, Part II explains the respective mechanics and effects of both California's and Georgia's versions. Finally, Part III of this article seeks to substantiate several claims: first, the United States Supreme Court has significantly diverged from its prior decisions interpreting the Eighth Amendment's Cruel and Unusual Punishment Clause regarding noncapital punishments; second, Georgia's version of a three strikes law warrants greater judicial deference than California's; and third, although both California's and Georgia's versions of a three strikes law contribute to prison overcrowding and increased costs in their respective states, California's version causes a greater burden. . .
Although U.S. economists note that the most recent U.S. recession came to an end in June 2009, belt tightening can still be felt throughout the economy, more than three years later. Perhaps nowhere is this more evident than in state budgets, which continue to face huge shortfalls and endure significant cutbacks. With legislatures generally unwilling to raise taxes to make up for these deficits, states have looked toward new sources—unclaimed property, in particular—to find much needed cash.
By some accounts, $35 billion of unclaimed property is currently held by states—an amount that continues to increase annually. Simply put, the transformation of unclaimed property into revenue first requires a state to "escheat," or take custody of property from a "holder," which is generally a corporation. Furthermore, "unclaimed property" usually refers to intangible property (such as amounts represented by uncashed checks, amounts in suspense, or outstanding stock) in the custody of a holder that actually belongs to another (known as the "owner"), but which has been inactive for a statutorily defined amount of time (the "dormancy period"). In their search for revenue, states have recently been escheating more unclaimed property than ever through the use of increasingly aggressive techniques. Although states do not take title to the property they recover, most state laws provide that at least some portion of funds received as unclaimed property is deposited in a state's general fund, or go so far as to direct the proceeds from unclaimed property to fund specific state programs. The benefits of a state's use of unclaimed property are compounded by the fact that underlying owners, to whom the property rightfully belongs, rarely claim escheated property from the state. Thus, states have begun to transform their unclaimed-property laws and regulations into revenue-raising mechanisms that undermine their original, consumer protection-oriented goal of reuniting missing owners with their property. This departure raises a host of due-process concerns for unclaimed-property holders, which should be considered a defense to aggressive state escheatment.
This Note will focus on the constitutional concerns raised by two specific techniques employed by states that have resulted in the escheatment of large quantities of unclaimed property: the use of contract auditors paid on a contingency basis to make unclaimed-property assessments against holders, and state and auditor reliance on statistical modeling and estimates to make assessments against holders when their unclaimed-property records are deemed incomplete or inadequate. This Note will begin by explaining the history and development of escheat law, from its common-law origins in England to its modern evolution in the United States. Particular attention will be paid to cases that have attempted to address issues relating to audit techniques and revenue-raising statutes. Finally, this Note will introduce new considerations and propose new procedures that legislatures, courts, and state unclaimedproperty administrators should heed to address procedural shortfalls in constitutionality and fairness. . .
The First Amendment protects the freedom of speech and press—liberties that include the right to disseminate certain information concerning governmental activities, including police work. A police officer may defend against a claim of violating a citizen's constitutionally protected right to gather and disseminate information by invoking the doctrine of qualified immunity. Qualified immunity requires the government official to prove the constitutional right allegedly infringed upon was not clearly established at the time of the challenged conduct. In Glik v. Cunniffe, the Court of Appeals for the First Circuit addressed the existence of a constitutional right to film officers discharging their duty in public and assessed whether that right was clearly established at the time Glik did so. The court held that the First Circuit case law clearly establishes a First Amendment right to record public police activity, and therefore the police officers could not invoke the qualified-immunity doctrine.
As he passed the Boston Common—the oldest public park in the country—on October 1, 2007, Simon Glik witnessed three police officers arresting an individual. After hearing one bystander say to the officers, "You are hurting him, stop," Glik began recording the arrest with his cell phone camera. After the officers handcuffed the suspect, one of the officers turned to Glik and said, "I think you have taken enough pictures." Glik responded: "I am recording this. I saw you punch him." After the officers confirmed with Glik that his recording captured sound, the officers arrested Glik for unlawful audio recording in violation of Massachusetts's wiretap statute. While detained at the South Boston police station, officers confiscated Glik's cell phone and a computer flash drive as evidence.
The District Attorney charged Glik with violating the wiretap statute, disturbing the peace, and aiding the escape of a prisoner. After the Commonwealth voluntarily dismissed the charge of aiding in the escape of a prisoner, the Boston Municipal Court, in February 2008, granted Glik's motion to dismiss the final two charges: disturbing the peace, and violating the wiretap statute. The judge found that Glik's exercise of his First Amendment right to film police did not disturb the peace, noting the officers' dislike of Glik's recording did not make this constitutionally protected activity unlawful. The judge also dismissed the wiretap charge for lack of probable cause because the statute requires a secret recording and the officers admitted Glik had recorded openly and in plain view. . .
Behind the current cacophony of concerns about the unemployment rate, slow economic recovery, and U.S. budget deficit, is the ever-present murmur of the impending economic impact baby boomers will have as they retire and rely on government benefits. In 2010 Social Security went "cash negative," states threatened to drop out of the Medicaid program, and more individuals dipped into their 401k plans for current needs. The "silver tsunami" looms closer as the first members of the baby-boom generation turned sixty-five in 2011, and concerns over how to manage long-term care for elders increase at an individual, state, and federal level. State and federal governments' concerns come from the heavy burden long-term care for boomers will put on government-funded health services at a time when governments face pressure to cut these services to decrease deficits. Individuals' worries stem from the need to provide long-term care for themselves or for aging family members.
Individuals who care, or will care, for an aging relative must consider how long-term care duties can decrease both their earning potential in the workplace and their savings as they pay for an elderly relative's necessities. Caregivers often cannot afford to cut down their time or quit their job outside the home. In order to continue caring for an elderly relative, an increasing number of caregivers are asking elder-law attorneys to draw up agreements in which the caregiver helps the elder for a certain number of hours each week in exchange for an hourly wage. These caregiving agreements benefit both parties by relieving financial strain on caregivers and by keeping elderly relatives out of nursing homes.
While caregiver agreements may reassure individual caregivers, these same agreements are a concern for states. State Medicaid agencies claim these agreements are often a front for elders to gift assets to their children, impoverish themselves, and qualify for the state to pay for long-term care in a nursing home. The high price of nursing home care would quickly deplete most seniors' accumulated wealth; however, if elders can transfer their assets to their children via a "caregiver contract," elders may qualify to have Medicaid pay for nursing home care, while ensuring that their posterity will receive an inheritance. States want to preserve scarce resources for those who truly cannot afford care.
This Note will explore the benefits and burdens of courts acknowledging and upholding caregiver agreements, ultimately arguing for more recognition of caregiving agreements to encourage greater numbers of caregivers for the burgeoning elder population. First, this Note will examine the parties to caregiver agreements and what influence their identities may have on a court's evaluation of the agreement. Parties to a caregiver agreement are typically family members, so the initial discussion of the parties' identities will lead to a discussion of the cultural and legal presumptions against family-member contracts. Then, turning more specifically to caregiver agreements, this Note will outline the considerations a Medicaid agency uses when deciding if an elder qualifies for benefits. State Medicaid agencies decide long-term care benefits; therefore, this Note will use Massachusetts as a case study to review caregiver agreements evaluated by the Office of Medicaid Board of Hearings and state courts. In light of the decisions in Massachusetts, this Note will propose clarifications to the Massachusetts Medicaid regulations to give Massachusetts and other states direction about how to allow caregivers who truly are rendering services to contract for their services, while avoiding giving elders Medicaid services if their "contract" was merely a gift. In addition, this Note will analyze current presumptions about family members and contracts. Finally, this Note will argue that acknowledging caregiver agreements will benefit caregivers, the elderly, and the state. . .
Although the First Amendment protects the right of free speech, the Supreme Court of the United States has held that certain types of speech made by students on campus may be restricted in public schools. The Court has not addressed, however, student speech originating off campus on the internet, requiring the circuit courts to develop and apply methods of dealing with this type of speech, including the Second Circuit's approach, commonly referred to as the Tinker test. In Layshock ex rel. Layshock v. Hermitage School District, the Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit considered whether the Hermitage School District could discipline a student, Justin Layshock, for creating an offensive profile on the social-networking website, MySpace, while off campus. The court held that the school district could not regulate Layshock's speech because not one of the limited circumstances permitting regulation—as prescribed by the Supreme Court—was present.
In December 2005, Layshock, a Hickory High School student, created a profile that mocked his Principal, Eric Trosch, on MySpace. Layshock created this profile using his grandmother's computer, at her house, during nonschool hours. Layshock granted access to fellow students, and, not surprisingly, news of the profile "spread like wildfire" spawning at least three copycat profiles. Layshock did access the profile he created twice at school, but school officials took action based on the belief that Layshock's speech was entirely off campus.
On December 21, school officials learned that Layshock may have created one of the false profiles and decided to call Layshock and his mother to a meeting with the Superintendent. At that meeting, Layshock admitted to creating the profile and, without any prompting, walked to Principal Trosch's office to apologize. School officials took no disciplinary action at the meeting; however, in January 2006, school officials held a disciplinary hearing concluding Layshock had violated the school's discipline code and instituted various punishments, including a ten-day suspension and placement in an alternative education program.
On January 27, 2006, the Layshocks filed a three-count complaint alleging that the school district had violated Layshock's First Amendment right to free speech. The district court granted summary judgment in favor of Layshock because the school district failed to demonstrate a sufficient nexus between the profile Layshock made and a substantial disruption at the school. A three judge panel from the Third Circuit affirmed on appeal; however, the Third Circuit vacated this decision and that of a factually similar, yet differently decided, case, J.S. ex rel Snyder v Blue Mountain School District, opting to rehear both en banc to resolve the apparent intracircuit split. After the rehearings, the court reversed J.S. and reaffirmed the earlier holding in Layshock, that the regulation of Layshock's speech violated the First Amendment. . .
In Janus Capital Group, Inc. v. First Derivative Traders, the Supreme Court produced a decision worthy of Janus, the two-faced Roman god whose image appears on Janus Capital's corporate logo. The five-to-four opinion by Justice Thomas, while paying lip service to the private right of action under Rule 10b-5, effectively cut off that right for many plaintiffs. The Court in Janus addressed the question of whether a mutual fund's management could be liable to investors in the fund's parent company for losses tied to misstatements in the fund's prospectuses. Answering in the negative, the Court held only a third group—the fund's independent board of trustees—could have "made" those misstatements under Rule 10b-5. Significantly, the Court concluded only those with "ultimate authority" over a statement are liable for making it—a new Rule 10b-5 standard apparently not limited to the unique structures of mutual fund families.
And so, in its zeal to extend the limitations of Central Bank of Denver v. First Interstate Bank of Denver, eliminating secondary liability for private plaintiffs under Rule 10b-5, the Janus majority provided a roadmap for avoiding primary liability, regardless of culpability. Indeed, the dissent predicted "guilty" management may now be able to launder a false statement through an "innocent" board while avoiding liability for lack of the ultimate authority to make that statement. Janus may have interpreted Rule 10b-5 so narrowly that conceivably no one could be primarily liable for "making" a demonstrably false statement–neither those who wrote it without the necessary authority nor those who approved it without the necessary intent.
Assuming the Court intended, as it said, to retain Rule 10b-5's private right of action—and assuming Congress, in enacting antifraud legislation, intended someone be held liable for material misstatements in securities filings—this Note recommends interpreting the phrase "ultimate authority," which is inadequately defined in Janus, to mean "ultimate control," a phrase appearing synonymously in the majority opinion. As Justice Thomas reasoned, "[w]ithout control, a person or entity can merely suggest what to say, not 'make' a statement in its own right." While the concept of ultimate authority leaves open the question of who is really responsible for a statement, the concept of ultimate control does not. Ultimately, the legislative intent and policies behind Rule 10b-5 will be served best by a precise definition of its contours. . .
On February 9, 2012, the United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) brought an end to the atomic power industry's thirty-four-year construction hiatus when it green-lighted the licensing of two state-of-the-art nuclear reactors in eastern Georgia. In In re Southern Nuclear Operating Co. [hereinafter Vogtle 3 & 4], the NRC considered whether Southern Nuclear Operating Company's (SNC) application for two combined construction and operating licenses satisfied the applicable licensing standards set forth in the Atomic Energy Act of 1954 (AEA), the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA), and the agency's own rules and regulations. By a 4-1 margin, with Chairman Gregory Jaczko as the lone dissenter, the Commission concluded that SNC fulfilled all statutory and regulatory prerequisites for full licensure and authorized the construction and operation of the third and fourth units (Units 3 and 4) at the company's existing Vogtle Electric Generating Plant site.
Following two years of preliminary proceedings, on March 31, 2008, SNC formally submitted its license application for Units 3 and 4. In accordance with statutory and regulatory guidelines, SNC's application included, among other things, general information relating to the proposed plant design, as well as the company's financial viability and antitrust status. The most voluminous and highly scrutinized portion of the company's application, however, was its final safety analysis report (FSAR)—an 828-page document describing at length the design basis, security plan, organizational structure, and all other radiological, environmental, and technical aspects of the proposed units. After accepting it for docketing, the NRC Staff (Staff) commenced an exhaustive review of SNC's application, including a comprehensive FSAR evaluation and environmental-impacts analysis. The Staff's efforts culminated in the August 2011 publication of its Final Safety Evaluation Report for Combined Licenses for Vogtle Electric Generating Plant, Units 3 and 4—a highly detailed, safetyoriented assessment communicating to the public and five NRC Commissioners (Commission) the Staff's official approval of SNC's license application.
Throughout the entire three-year application review and beyond, SNC and the Staff faced multiple legal challenges to both the sufficiency and content of the application and the adequacy of the Staff's final safety evaluation. On November 17, 2008, in response to publication in the Federal Register of SNC's pending application review, five nonprofit organizations (Joint Intervenors) petitioned to intervene as parties seeking to contest the combined license (COL) application for Units 3 and 4. In granting the petition, the Commission established a panel of the Atomic Safety and Licensing Board (Board), giving it jurisdiction to preside over the now-contested portion of the application proceeding. Joint Intervenors immediately filed three contentions alleging that the FSAR for Units 3 and 4 omitted critical safety information. Over the ensuing eighteen months, the Board heard oral arguments, allowed limited discovery, accepted written submissions, and entertained two additional safety-related contentions. After dismissing two of the three original contentions for failure to state a claim, on May 19, 2010, the Board granted SNC's motion for summary disposition and dismissed as overly broad the Joint Intervenors' sole remaining contention. . .

Not only does the prestigious city of Saratoga boast one of the highest median household incomes in all of the United States, it also ranks high on lists of best places to live in the country year after year. Saratoga's charming downtown offers a variety of restaurants, European-style bakeries and antique shops. Visitors can also steal away to the city's foothills which are dotted with vineyards and wineries, some dating back to the early 1900's. Saratoga avoids suburban home uniformity through zoning and planning that leaves space between the unique and magnificent estates. Personal retreats provide privacy, while still being in a location convenient to all the amenities of the area. Whether retreating to the foothills or enjoying downtown, Saratoga is a place to stay and enjoy.

Seaweed Facial for Beautiful Skin
Facial for Beautiful Skin
Rejuvenate Your Skin with a Simple Seaweed Facial Mask
This simple facial mask will leave your face feeling incredibly soft, smooth and looking absolutely radiant. This seaweed facial mask contains kelp, coconut oil, and aloe vera and is my favourite DIY beauty routine that I do at least once a week.
If you read my recent post on seaweed baths you will have learned that seaweeds have been traditionally used to detoxify the body both internally and externally.
Seaweeds are rich in nutrients which help to both tone and nourish the skin. Seaweed contains mineral salts that can help the skin to hold its moisture better, which helps to smooth fine lines. This photograph is of some of my lovely clients who came on my Natural Woman Programme and seaweed baths and facials are always on the menu.
Aloe Vera has been known for its amazing healing properties for centuries. It has
been used to help heal burns, eczema, sores, acne, insect bites, and more. It's an antiseptic, highly lubricant, and penetrates deep into the skin.
Kelp in a powdered form can be purchased in most Natural Food Stores along with Aloe Vera and organic coconut oil.
To benefit from these ingredients, create this simple mask:
1 tbsp. Kelp powder
½ tbsp. coconut oil
½ tbsp. Aloe vera gel (99.9% pure)
Mix all ingredients in a bowl and apply to a clean face. Leave the mask on for 15 minutes and rinse with lukewarm water.
To enjoy glowing, healthy looking skin, use this mask twice a week. I promise you will enjoy this mask and make it a regular part of your beauty programme.
More fantastic home remedies, wholefoods recipes and medicinal teas are in my book 'Macrobiotics for all Seasons' available world wide on amazon.

Manita peć is the only cave in the Park area that is open and suitable for tours. The cave's broad chambers and the beauty of its cave formations have been enchanting visitors since 1937, when the trail was set up and visits began. It sits at an altitude of 570 m, and the walk up from the parking lot at Velika Paklenica takes about an hour and a half.
The cave is abundant with cave formations or speleothems. They differ in form and method of formation. The most frequent types of speleothems that you will find in Manita Peć are: stalagmites, stalactites, columns and flowstones (cascading rimstone dams). Some of these formations got their names from their interesting shapes, such as the Helmet, the Organ and the Witch.
Manita Peć cave is rich in underground fauna. In the cave you will discover numerous species of bats, and the research conducted so far has found a total of 52 taxa of invertebrates, 20 of which are true cave animals' taxa. They have adapted to the underground environment and they usually cannot survive outside the cave. They are characterised by a lack of pigment and visual sensory organs, however, their other senses (olfactory, gustatory, tactile) are developed. Manita peć has been explored and searched for fauna by numerous renowned European biospeleologists. This resulted in discoveries of new species like the pseudoscorpion Chthonius radjai and the small crab Bogidiella sketi.
"Manita peć" cave
If you decide to visit Manita Peć, you will spend about 30 minutes in the cave accompanied by a guide, and you will discover many secrets of this intriguing underground world. The temperature in the cave is around 9°C all year round, so we recommend that you bring adequate clothing and when visiting during the warm season. Tours of the cave are only allowed with a guide.
Opening hours of Manita Peć cave:
April – Saturdays from 10 - 14
May, June and October – Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturdays from 10 - 14
July, August and September – every day from 10 - 14
Special appointments should be announced in advance!

109 pounds of pumpkin meat from 17 cans went into this year's batch of Pumpkin Ale at the Great Dane-Fitchburg.
After trying many pumpkin beers, I tend to be skeptical -- I find the sweet vegetal flavor of many of them to be off-putting. The trick is to avoid those that taste like pumpkin pie in a glass. The Great Dane in Fitchburg just released a treat: its 2011 Pumpkin Ale, for those who crave that unique mix of beer, cinnamon and nutmeg.
What is it? Pumpkin Ale from the Great Dane-Fitchburg.
Style: Pumpkin beers vary greatly in flavor and in how they are made. Most of them commonly begin as ales, with some, because of their strength, even deemed "imperial." A few are even brewed as lagers. The Great Dane-Fitchburg's version has as its base a lighter pale ale, made with pale malt and a small amount of Millennium hops.
Overall, pumpkin beers are not considered a specific style. Rather, they're treated as a sub-category of vegetable and fruit beers. They are most commonly released in the fall, and their recipes often call for some of the same spices you find in pumpkin pie, such as cinnamon, clove, ginger, nutmeg and allspice.
Brewers sometimes use fresh pumpkins, but that requires extra steps, since they have to be cooked ahead of time, and the flavor can be inconsistent. The filtering can also be challenging. So brewers often choose canned pumpkin meat or even pre-processed pumpkin pie filling instead.
Background: Pat Keller, brewer at the Great Dane-Fitchburg, has made pumpkin ale nearly every year around Halloween since the brewpub opened in 2002. He considers it one of the stickiest and messiest beers that he makes. "You end up wearing pumpkin all over you, and often it runs down the side of the brew kettle," he says. Every year Keller likes to tweak the combination of pumpkin sweetness, spicy dryness, and overall beer flavor in the recipe. This year, he set out to make a pumpkin ale that emphasizes the spicy side, yet respects a core sweetness from the pumpkin.
Pumpkin beers have a short life. Once they go on tap, they usually stick around for just a few weeks, because most beer drinkers enjoy one at a sitting, but rarely two. That's why most brewpubs wait until Halloween through Thanksgiving to release their version. Keller admits these ales can be a bit of a novelty, especially those that end up being too heavy and sweet.
Keller's 2011 version of Pumpkin Ale was made with 109 pounds, or 17 cans, of pumpkin. He planned to use 18 cans, but one of the cooks in the Great Dane's kitchen swiped one for a dessert recipe the day before he was set to brew. The shorting of the one can merely reinforced Keller's recipe, which gives emphasis to the spices in his beer.
The Great Dane-Fitchburg's Pumpkin Ale takes about three weeks to make, and it finishes around 4.5 % ABV. This year's brew will be on tap at both the Fitchburg and Hilldale Great Danes, while The downtown location makes its own version. At Fitchburg it sells for $5/pint and $10/growler (refill).
Tasting notes:
- Aroma: A firm spicy, slightly sweet aroma.
- Appearance: Clear, orange-amber color and a smooth soft off-white head.
- Texture: Medium bodied, bubbly and round.
- Taste: An assertive, but not overwhelming, flavor of spicy, especially cinnamon, nutmeg and clove.
- Finish/Aftertaste: The pumpkin sweetness comes in at the end.
Glassware: The standard bar pint is a common way to serve this beer. However, the tulip or snifter style of glass would be a good choice, to accentuate aromas and encourage sipping in order to savor both the spices and the sweetness.
Pairs well with: Pumpkin beer is best as an appetizer or an after-dinner dessert. It's really a beer to appreciate for its own combination of sweetness and spicy tones.
Rating: Three Bottle Openers (out of four).
The Consensus: Current ratings are not specific for this year's batch, nor do they reflect the uniqueness of the 2011 version brewed by the Great Dane-Fitchburg. Previous ratings give previous releases an A (outstanding) at BeerAdvocate and a 56/61 (overall/style) at RateBeer.
The Verdict: There's a line in It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown where Linus says, "There are three things I have learned never to discuss with people: religion, politics and the Great Pumpkin." Perhaps that's why, every year at this time, I tend to shrug off an annual pumpkin beer review. It's a type of beer that I personally shy away from and rarely recommend to friends. However, when they are done well, they can surprise and even bring me back for a second pint.
Pat Keller has achieved a pumpkin ale with a tip to the spicy side. If you appreciate balance in a pumpkin beer, this one is worthy of a stop at the Dane in Fitchburg. The dryness of the nutmeg and cloves come our early in the aroma and flavor, while the pumpkin sweetness softens and lingers lightly in the finish.

A shortened basketball state championship race, but a longer football season are among some of the changes the Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic Association plans for next year.
Because of the early Easter observance in 1986, the PIAA will be going a week earlier with its basketball championships at Hershey. As a result, instead of three weeks of interdistricts leading to the finals the series will be cut back to two weeks which is the way it used to be.

Season Tickets
We have decided that we won't be buying season tickets anymore because: 1. The stadium is so different; 2. Our seats have been changed; 3. It's uncomfortabl to access the new seats; 4. Our old seatmates are scattered, 5. Our parking situation has changed; 6. My mobility makes stadium access a challenge, 7. We had trouble this fall finding an apartment to rent for 5 weeks - our regular place was all booked up and we ended up at a most unsatisfactory place.
The shorter answer is no, we aren't going to the Big Game - we sold our tickets to Justin and will cheer from T.C.

I'm not gonna lie, but ever since I started baking, I've gained a bit of weight. Yeah sure, in the beginning I was pretty freakin' pissed and completely in denial, but eventually I came to terms with it. It's just a fact that I can't happily live (as in allowing me to bake) and be skinny at the same time- it's just not happening. Anyways, so somewhere among one of my many bitches to my boyfriend about my weight gain, something affected him in a strange way. Ever since then, he's been on his own little "diet" (when honestly, neither of us can be on a "diet" for more than a few days). What sent up red flags in my head was when I was at the grocery store and I asked him if there was anything he needed, and he replied "ground turkey".
Okay, first of all- he doesn't even like turkey (I know this because he so permanently ingrained it in my head from Thanksgiving). Even stranger was that he went out and bought whole wheat thin pita roll things, as opposed to our usual fattening white rolls.
At first I was confused- Like, there's no way this could be my boyfriend. But then I figured it was just "one of those days" and I went along with his little turkey-burger idea.
I knew my boyfriend was hidden under there somewhere once I saw him grab a ton of cheese out of the fridge and assemble a cheese spread for the bread- Now that's what I'm talkin' about.
I understand that prettiness wasn't a factor in creating these burgers (obvi, they're sloppily made and look completely squashed), but I was hoping my boyfriend hadn't forgotten than tastiness was just as important as healthiness.
Now, I'm a decently big turkey burger fan, but these did not taste like my typical turkey burgers. In fact, if I hadn't known these were turkey, I probably wouldn't have been able to guess that.
With that said, these were actually tastier than many turkey burger I've previously had. The meat was a lot more moist and flavorful, and I can't forget about the delicious blue cheese spread we added.
The gooey cheesiness oozed out the sides of the burger the second you took a bite. See all that cheesy goodness? I couldn't have asked for a cheesier burger if I wanted to. For once I can actually say my daily dose of cheese has been fulfilled.
My boyfriend, on the other hand, actually did think it was too cheesy for him (what a disgrace) and ended up wiping some of the cheese off his burger. I willingly came to the rescue and ate all the excess cheese for him. So much for either of us being on a diet...

Dealing with Low Flow Faucets
Often faucets or shower heads stop functioning the way they used to, only giving off so much water. Most of the time, this is an easy problem to solve.
Calcium and gravel buildup is common, especially if you have hard water. For calcium, you can detach the faucet or shower head and use vinegar to dissolve the lime scale. If there is gravel, you will have to clean the screen.
Pay close attention to how you take the components apart, since you'll have to put them back together when you're finished. If you don't feel confident in doing so, you can always call the expert plumbers at ServiceOne AC.
When Do Air Ducts Need Repair?
The Department of Energy states that near half of American homes are losing 10-30% energy efficiency because their air ducts need to be repaired.
You should look for these signs that your air ducts need repair:
- Higher utility bills
- Uneven temperatures
- Uneven humidity
To prevent these issue, which are often due to improper sealing, always get your ductwork inspected by a professional AC technician.
For more information on what we can do to improve your heating and air conditioning system, contact ServiceOne AC at 407-966-4441 today!

News broke a few weeks ago that a development company is defacing John Heujduk's Kreutzberg Towers, and since it has spread like wildfire across the online architecture community. Although I have mixed feelings about the proposed changes (they are currently under construction in fact) and am not sure it is worth all of the uproar, it is worth expressing your opinions. There is a petition garnering support to get the development company to respect the historic significance of the architecture.

Finally, an effective system for managing ink mist in the laboratory environment – no more coughing, sneezing, or cleaning. The JetXpert Vacuum Ink Collector captures mist as soon as it leaves the printhead and separates the liquid into a waste container for easy disposal. The system is completely standalone and ready to be easily added to any JetXpert or JetXpert Print Station.
The system is highly effective at controlling the flow of ink, yet has no impact on the drop formation over typical throw distances. Drop volume and velocity are unchanged up to 5mm from the printhead, even with drops as small as a few picoliters.
