Depicted on this pendant are two side-by-side composite creatures in which the long, toothy snouts with extended, bifurcated tongues of crocodiles are combined with the curled-up noses of bats and flowing crests of iguanas. The accumulation of such specific animal features—though little understood today—may have referred to the wearer's status and his ability to control natural and/or supernatural forces. The pairing of figures is found on some of the earliest known Central American gold objects and continued until the time of the conquest. Its purpose may have been to increase the potency of the image. This cast gold pendant incorporates two stones of translucent pink quartz that depict the tails of the beasts and contribute to the visual appeal of the piece through the juxtaposition of different colors and textures.

Happy Monday, and welcome to Medical Mondays! I'm going to be talking about hopes and dreams today!
Some time ago, I read Dr. Pamela Wible's book, Pet Goats & Pap Smears and wrote a review about it on Project Velociraptor (aka FM Student). (In case you're new here, it's a project that my friend Pixie and I launched to provide resources for medical students (particularly 3rd + 4th-years) interested in Family Medicine!)
Then this happened:
And then, while I was driving over to New Jersey to spend a weekend there before taking my boards, she called me.
Straight-up legit called me.
I've never considered myself to be particularly articulate when it comes to speaking (I think I'm a lot better at writing), but when I'm fan-girling and trying really hard not to, it gets even worse. (This is probably why, much as I'd love to, I probably shouldn't ever meet Jensen Ackles.)
Maybe that was a sign, because where I was headed while I was talking with her about what I wanted to do in life was also where I matched for residency. While I maintain the west-coast-best-coast philosophy, I still think this was the best place I could have ended up for my residency and I'm super glad about that.
Dr. Wible is a huge advocate for physician wellness and speaks out about rising physician suicide rates (something no one likes to talk or hear about)–she did a TEDTalk on why doctors kill themselves.
These were my takeaway points from my conversation with her:
- Surround yourself with positive + inspiring people.
- Choose to be happy.
- Go after your dreams (far too many people give up on them).
- Build a community.
- Take care of your own well-being. (It's important to take time for yourself!)
I hope I get to meet her someday–she seems like such an inspiring and awesome person! :]
- What's something you dream of doing/accomplishing?
- What legacy do you want to leave?
- How do you want people to remember you?

With a massive inferno like the Hayman wildfire blazing in Colorado threatening suburban Denver and lighting up the evening news, it's easy to wonder whether a similar situation could occur on the Kenai Peninsula.
With an abundance of spruce bark beetle-killed trees all around, the peninsula is a veritable hot bed of combustible material. So if the peninsula were threatened by behemoth wildfires, what would be the course of action for those charged with fighting forest fires?
"If there's a large wildland incident, the landowner agency would be in contact with (the Alaska Division of) Forestry," said Alaska Natural Resources Forestry Fire Management Officer Sharon Roesch. "There would be a unified command."
This emergency effort, she said, would include assistance from Alaska State Troopers, area fire departments, the Kenai National Wildlife Refuge or the Chugach State Wildlife Refuge, Alaska Department of Fish and Games and state Parks rangers, among others. These organizations would be coordinated through the Kenai Peninsula Borough Office of Emergency Management.
But state Fire Management Officer Rick Plate said such a situation would not be the norm. He said Forestry firefighters would respond first.
"The Division of Forestry, by statute, has responsibility of forestry fire," Plate said. "If it's just a small fire, and we can we can knock it down quickly, we don't call OEM. But if it's big, then we contact other agencies.
"There are so many variables," he said. "It depends on what type of weather we have. Generally, if it's warm and dry, we send a lot of resources."
These resources include 16-person crews from the 65 currently active in the state. There also are tanker planes capable of dousing flames with fire retardant material from above.
Kenai is one of the three statewide bases where tankers refill with firefighting chemicals, and Homer is a secondary refill base.
"If it sounds like a fire is burning near homes, we're going to launch air tankers," Plate said.
In spite of potential damage to property, Roesch said fire crews will look, primarily, to save lives.
"Life safety is priority, not only for residents on the ground, but also for firefighters," she said. "We don't want to lose firefighters to protect a house. Certainly not to protect a tree."
A large wildland fire near Skilak Lake in the Kenai National Wildlife Refuge in May 1991 scorched 8,400 acres and threatened to turn toward Cooper Landing before fire crews were able to contain it. A fire moving on a community like that could pose a challenge similar to what Colorado fire crews faced in removing more than 5,000 residents from their homes -- evacuation.
"When we see that a (fire) is rolling, we change from fighting it to getting people out of its way," Plate said.
"Statewide, Forestry, along with the troopers, has an evacuation plan."
The multi-level plan is developed so that all parties working together are operating on the same page, he said. Constantly reviewing that plan in downtime makes certain there are no mistakes when lives are at stake.
"The things that you know how to do in nonemergency situations are the things that you will be able to do well in emergency situations," Plate said.
There are four different levels for evacuation:
Pre-evacuation briefings -- preparing involved agencies to follow evacuation procedures;
Evacuation warning -- notifying those living and working in the area that there may be need for an evacuation and admonishing them to stay tuned for more information;
Evacuation directive -- notifying homes definitely threatened by wildland fire. "We go door-to-door and tell people the fire is coming and that it is best to leave," Plate said.
"But we're not going to force people to leave."
Evacuation order -- used in case-by-case situations where emergency workers determine occupants either are in no condition to make the proper choices for themselves or are unable to extract themselves from harm's way.
Plate said he doesn't envision a wildfire completely cutting off the peninsula.
"I don't think we'd ever see a situation where we'd have to evacuate people off the peninsula," he said. "There are enough places where people can get away from fire. Enough swamps and lakes.
"We're not going to see something like Denver. We may have a situation where a fire may close off the road between us and Anchorage, but that's going to be a temporary thing.
"With a little foresight, we will make it."

My friend Breanne has been my running inspiration for years. When I first started running to lose weight after my second son, she cheered my first 5K like I'd just finished the Boston Marathon. When I decided to try for my first marathon, she became my coach. She helped me create a training program, provided critical advice (Body Glide: get some!), and listened to my running stories with amazing patience though she'd been there dozens of times before. (I really can talk about a long run for upwards of an hour.)
So naturally she was the first person I thought of who could give us the best advice about how to start exercising and how to keep going day after day, year after year, until it adds more to your life than just fitting into your skinny jeans or finishing your first 5K.
My brother and me after our first marathon. Breanne coached my brother too,
since everything she told me I passed on to him. Eventually he started sending
me emails that started "Could you ask Breanne ____."
Six years ago my husband ran his first marathon. I was really impressed, and later vowed that if he ran the same marathon next year, I'd run the 10 mile race that went with it. A few days later I forced myself to run and had a miserable time. It was about 80 degrees out, I had no water, and I was going way too fast. "I hate running!" I thought. "I hate it! It's just not my thing."
- What time of day suits you best? I consider myself a morning person but that is not my best time for exercise. Neither is after work — I'm too tired and hungry. While I occasionally do work out at those times my sweet spot is midday (over my lunch hour at work or midmorning or afternoon).
- Do you prefer social activities or solo? What got me through my 10 mile training was realizing that I hated running alone. I joined a group training for the race and made friends and got advice and support.
- What does your gut tell you that you enjoy the most? Does biking always feel great? Does yoga really fulfill something in your life? While it's fun try new things, you can't make yourself consistently do something you don't like. Don't second guess whether it's the "right" activity — if your body is better for it, than it's worth doing.
- The first few times (or weeks) you do your new activity, do it half as slow or easy as you think you should. We all do this — we go out too hard at first. We're insecure, we think it's going to be hard so we make it so, and we cover up the fact that we don't know what we're doing by trying twice as hard. Most of the people who think they can't run really can — they just need to slow way down and then build up over time.
- Choose a goal, one that you admit to at least a few other people. A race, a distance, a yoga pose, a number of laps. When you reach that goal, celebrate! and then make a new one.
- Figure out what motivates you. Does signing up for a class with set meeting times and a group to be responsible to appeal to you? Or would you rather draw up your own schedule and do it and not tell anyone? If you can have your exercise do double duty in your life (walking your dog, pushing the kids to the playground, biking to work) it'll be even easier to make it a habit.
- Invest in some decent clothes to exercise in. Any kind of technical/wicking/dryfit clothes will do — they are all fine. They should feel comfortable while you're exercising and keep you relatively cool. You should also like how you look in them. Target's C9 brand is fairly inexpensive and decent of quality.
- Choose an activity that has an instructor (a class, group leader, or coach) or identify a mentor from your personal life. Having someone you can ask questions of helps keep you from feeling frustrated. And don't be afraid to ask questions — who doesn't love to help someone else?
- Once it's a regular part of your life, exercising really does give you energy and make you feel great.
- The mental benefits of exercise are as amazing as the physical benefits. Nothing calms me down after a tough day like exercise. It also gives you a ton of confidence.
Breanne is an amazing marathon mama and the best coach a girl could have. Read more about her life and her passions at her blog, Borealis.

Okay so I know it's been a long while since I've updated this story. I've been busy with school and a lot of things that have been going on. So I'm sorry for the long wait and hopefully you will be pleased with this chapter.
Disclaimer: I don't own Twilight or the people involved or the song. I know the wolf pack hasn't been involved in this story, I wanted this to be a Jasper Bella pairing, plus Jasper is hot. I do have another story well I have three stories I'm working on. Oh yeah if you get the chance you should check out this one chicks named blondie134 she has two awesome twilight fics up and they rock. So yeah go check out her stories.
Jasper's pov
We all stood in the defense positions waiting for him to attack. Jasper moved me behind him and that was when all hell broke loose. Bella smacked me in my head and growled. We all turned to look at her and she glared at me.
"What the hell was that for?" I asked?
Bella glared at me, before she could talk he walked over to one of the cribs. Emmett grabbed him and held him up against the wall. Esme and Carlisle both watched with venom tears fall down their eyes.
"No Emmett put Edward down." said Carlisle.
Emmett dropped Edward to his feet. I quickly grabbed him and tossed him to the ground. I was pissed he was here. Edward gave a laugh.
"You're pissed off.?" laughed Edward as he pushed Jasper off him and into one of the cribs.
That was enough to send my angel into a furry. She grabbed Edward and punched him in the stomach.
I watched as she grabbed him and drug him down the stairs and tossed him into the living room. Edward hit the tv and landed on Emmett's Xbox360.
I watched as Emmett stood there with his mouth open and glaring at Bella.
If the situation was so serious I would be laughing now.
Esme went towards Edward and helped him up. I was bit surprised at that.
"What do you want here?" I asked?
Edward looked at me and smiled freaking mind reading jackass.
"Why are you so sure she wouldn't leave you for me, I mean I am her first love?" Edward said.
I watched move in front of Bella and stroke her cheek. His hand froze.
"You bastard you fucking changed her!" said Edward.
Before I could respond three sharp cries were heard and Bella and I raced upstairs.
We saw a flash of red hair and noticed that Isabel was gone. Before anyone could react Bella was out the window and I quickly followed her. We followed as quickly as we could I was concerned for both my baby and Bella. Bella was a newborn after all and then top that off with overprotective mother and that's an equation for some ass kicking.
Bella's Pov
That bastard had the balls to push me behind him. I mean what the hell, it's not like I'm a weak little human anymore.
I reached up and smacked Jasper in his head and glared at him. Everyone turned and looked at me like I lost my mind. Okay so maybe I was a little pissed that the bastard that kidnapped me, raped and hurt me was standing there looking pissed off. I guess I should have slapped him. Before I realized it Emmett had pinned Edward to the wall. That bastard was looking at my babies. ~normally I would just recap everything but I'm going to speed this up a little. ~
After that red haired slut took my precious baby I was beyond pissed. I mean what the hell I just gave birth and completed my transformation I hope I got the whole turning into a vampire thing right this time, because there is no way in hell I was doing it again. I chased after her and along the way I smelt some humans. I found my way heading towards them. I tried to make myself go the other way, only the smell of what was pulsing their veins made me want them even more. I was almost to their campsite, when I realized my baby was gone. I felt myself fall to the ground. What was wrong with me, some chick took my baby and I was going after some freakin humans. I took a deep breath and that was my mistake, it the smell of their blood more desirable and I could hear their hearts beating so softly. If they only knew what was waiting for them. I laughed as I stood, my steps bringing me closer to them. I was no more than 6 feet away from them. Jasper tackled me to the ground. I growled at him. How dare he stop me from catching my pry.
"Bella babe listen to me, you don't want to do that." said Jasper.
I looked into his eyes and the next thing I felt was lust. I reached up and pulled him to me and kissed him. My hands moved around his neck and then I tossed him into a tree.
"Really Jasper?" I asked?"
I walked slowly towards him and smiled. That was when I realized my baby was gone. I picked up the nearest tree and tossed it. With my lucky throwing skills the tree landed on the tents the two campers were using. Jasper grabbed me raced to his house. Once there I noticed Edward was gone. That bastard left again. Well I guess that's what he was good for, leaving when things got intense. I made my way back upstairs and into the baby's room. Rosalie was holding one of the boys. I watched as she rocked him and sang. I move to the empty crib that once held my little girl. I felt my body shake as I dry sobbed. I felt a hand rubbing my back. I looked up it was Jasper, the rest of the family stood in the doorway looking on with a sad expression. Jasper pulled me into a hug.
"We'll get her back and make them pay for taking our little girl." said Jasper.
"Yeah I swear I'll rip off body parts and everything." said Emmett.
Edward's Pov
Everything happened so fast. Once Victoria had taken one of the babies then led them into a trap. One that would destroy my family, leave Bella all alone with babies. Then I would comfort her and convince her that she should be with me and leave the babies to stay with Victoria and Tanya. If I'm lucky I might be able to talk her into live with us and then I can have all three girls. I smirked at the thought of having three girls giving me pleasure. What can I say I like what they do to me. I made my way back to the place I share with the two girls. When I got there they had the baby lying on a blanket while they were making out and I grew hard with the images of Bella involved in that kiss. I made my way over to them and stood behind Tanya and grinded my hard on against her. She giggled and we made our way to our room.
"What about the baby?" asked Victoria?
I walked over to the baby and looked down at her. I noticed she looked a lot like Bella. I looked into her eyes and smiled. She was a pretty little thing, I bent down and stroked her cheek, and she turned her face and started to suck on my finger. I smiled and stood up.
"She'll be okay but we are going to have to find her something to suck on later." I said.
The girls laughed and we went back to the room for some fun.
Okay I'll try to write the next chapter soon. But it might have to wait since I have to study for my Linux Test. Anyway hope you enjoy and like always I'm open for ideas and suggestions. Oh yeah anybody else collect those twilight saga candy boxes? I got the one with the wolf pack on so me and my friend can drool over it. Don't forget to review.

Which of the following sentences is correct ? Are they all correct? If not, why?
1. I agree with you.
2. I agree with you on your plans.
3.I agree to your plans.
I would like to check my understanding on the verb "agree". Can I use "understanding" or "comprehension" in the previous sentence? Or can I rephrase it some other way?
Thank you.

The whir from the twin Evinrude 225-horsepower motors subsided as Ed Hill slowed the boat, spying a gray fin rising from the water in front of the bow.
"They're hanging out right here," Hill said of some dolphins. "The dinner bell's ringing."
Hill, a Savannah businessman who volunteers with The Dolphin Project, got behind the steering wheel Saturday morning on his 25-foot Boston Whaler to demonstrate the workings of the project.
For 20 years, those engaged in The Dolphin Project have sought to understand the health and travels of Atlantic bottlenose dolphins along the Georgia and South Carolina coasts.
View photos from the Dolphin Project anniversary event.
Hill started with the project in its first year after reading about it in the paper.
"I thought it was a neat idea," he said. "At the time, there was an epidemic up north of red tide that was killing dolphins. Beau (Cutts) thought somebody should do a study in the Southeast."
When the project began, everyone involved believed that dolphins migrated, Hill said. That turned out to be inaccurate.
An early finding of the research showed that most of dolphins never get spotted more than 10 miles from their initial sighting point, said Cutts, the project's founder and first president.
The Dolphin Project is a nonprofit organization that relies entirely on trained volunteers. To date, 4,500 people have participated.
The volunteers spend one weekend a month from January through November photographing the dolphins.
Over the past 20 years, about 850 individual dolphins have been identified in about 600,000 photographs, Cutts said.
A dolphin can be identified by unique indentations on the trailing edge of its dorsal fin, according to a news release from The Dolphin Project.
Photographing the dolphins can be challenging to new volunteers, Hill said.
"The key is to keep your eyes on the direction they are heading," he noted. "You can usually catch them about 50 yards ahead."
The volunteers cruise the water at 8 to 10 knots, constantly moving so they can observe the dolphins as naturally as possible.
"When they see them, they don't slow down for them," Hill said. "They don't want to upset them."
On Saturday, however, Hill stopped to watch a group of about seven dolphins just east of Priest Landing Marina on the Wilmington River.
"They're all over down here," he said, pointing out three dolphins about 50 yards to the right of the boat.
So far, the research has not been fully studied, Hill said.
"A lot of the stuff they've documented hasn't really been processed," he said. "Now they're gathering all the information that's been assembled over the 20 years."
That task was given to Tara Cox, an assistant professor of marine science at Savannah State University.
"You have to be able to document this stuff," Hill said. "When they put the research together, they'll be able to say, 'This is more than likely what they're feeding on, and this is what they do.' "

The SBL-3 IOL (Lenstec) is designed to provide excellent distance, intermediate, and near vision; improve contrast sensitivity; and reduce dysphotopsias. A clinical study found excellent objective and subjective outcomes 3 months postoperatively, with 94.4% of patients reporting they were very satisfied or satisfied.1
• The SBL-3 IOL displays high tolerance in myopic, hyperopic, and emmetropic patients, especially with a lower add in the dominant eye.
• The SBL-3 is suitable for presbyopic patients and for prepresbyopic patients with refractive errors not suitable for laser corneal surgery or phakic IOL implantation; preoperative pupil assessment is essential.
To date, one of us (JEM) has implanted approximately 250 of these IOLs with excellent outcomes. In a study submitted for publication, we documented the outcomes of the SBL-3 IOL at 3 and 12 months postoperatively. Patients were asked to rate their quality of vision (QOV) on a scale of 0 (worst) to 10 (best). At the initial postoperative assessment, the mean QOV score was 8.26 ±1.16, increasing to 8.84 ±1.08 at 12 months. Additionally, 42 of 45 patients reported never needing reading glasses, and three reported requiring glasses only occasionally.
Because of the nature of asymmetric multifocal IOLs, postoperative outcomes can be affected by three key factors: IOL centration, pupil diameter, and pupil shift. Each of these factors has the potential to affect the performance of the IOL because adequate exposure of the two distinct segments within the pupil diameter is required.
The Lens: SBL-3
• Rotationally asymmetric multifocal IOL
• Optic size 5.75 mm, with biaspheric zero-aberration design to enhance depth of focus
• An asymmetric 3.00 D sector-shaped near add zone and an aspheric distance zone are separated by a small wedge-shaped transition zone
• Light is reflected away from the optical axis when it hits this transition zone
• Overall length 11 mm; modified plate haptics with 0° angulation
• Square posterior edge
• Sphere powers from 10.00 to 36.00 D, with the 15.00 to 25.00 D range in 0.25 D steps
• Manufactured to ±0.11 D power accuracy
• One-piece acrylic with 26% water content; can be implanted through a microincision
For more information: http://www.lenstec.com/sbl-3.html

Factor No. 1: Adequate pupil diameter. To ensure optimal performance of the SBL-3 IOL, therefore, adequate pupil diameter is required. A study by Pazo et al (submitted for publication) assessed the effect of pupil size on outcomes after SBL-3 IOL implantation. This study found that subjective QOV was significantly lower in eyes with pupil sizes less than 3 mm, even though there was no significant difference in objective visual outcomes.
This study also highlighted that patients' photopic pupil sizes significantly decreased from preoperative assessment to final postoperative assessment. It is important to be aware that pupil diameter decreases with age, and selecting patients with adequate preoperative pupil size is essential to maintaining high patient satisfaction despite decreasing pupil diameter with age.
Pazo et al found that preoperative pupil size greater than 3 mm is adequate to maintain a high level of QOV (≥8.3). Because there is, in general, a small progressive reduction in pupil size over the following postoperative 3 years, it is prudent to consider this when defining an optimal target preoperative pupil size.2
Factor No. 2: Position of the near addition. Another key preoperative consideration when implanting the SBL-3 IOL is the position of the near addition. A case report by Pazo et al described a patient who, after SBL-3 implantation, complained of blurred vision when driving during the day and in supermarkets.3 On assessment of IOL position, it was noted that, in the patient's dominant eye, there was high exposure of the near segment to the detriment of the distance portion. The IOL in the dominant eye was therefore rotated from an inferonasal to a superotemporal position to optimize the distance segment exposure within the mesopic and photopic pupil (Figure 1). Three months after rotation surgery, the patient showed improved visual acuity and better QOV and was pleased with vision both when driving and in the supermarket.
Based on this case report and other studies highlighting that asymmetric multifocal IOLs can be placed in other rotational positions without negatively affecting postoperative outcomes,4,5 we sought to compare superotemporal placement of the near segment in the dominant eye combined with inferonasal placement in the fellow eye (Figure 2) with bilateral inferonsal placement of near segments.6 Additionally, in the dominant eye with superotemporal placement, we implanted IOLs with a lower add (2.00 D), which have been found to provide full distance and intermediate vision rehabilitation but reduced UNVA when compared to IOLs with 3.00 D add.7,8
Our results indicated that superotemporal placement of the lower-power add in the dominant eye combined with inferonasal placement of the 3.00 D near add in the nondominant eye can provide superior QOV to bilateral inferonasal 3.00 D near segment placement. Another benefit of using this IOL combination is that it improves functional intermediate vision, as 83.3% of patients reported clear vision at this distance. Bilateral inferonasal 3.00 D add placement also provided excellent UIVA,1 but we have found that a lower percentage of patients (73.3%) reported completely clear intermediate vision with this arrangement.
We recommend ensuring a preoperative photopic pupil size of greater than 3 mm, with combined superotemporal and inferonasal placement of near segments, to protect against long-term changes in pupil size and subsequent loss of vision through inadequate exposure of either the distance or near zones.
The SBL-3 is suitable for presbyopic patients and for prepresbyopic patients with refractive errors not suitable for laser corneal surgery or phakic IOL implantation. Patients who have had previous hyperopic laser surgery and those with any active ocular disease should be avoided.
In patients with amblyopia, the amblyopic eye should not be fitted with an asymmetric multifocal IOL. The amblyopic eye can be fitted with a monofocal IOL (target 0.00 to -1.00 D if it is the nondominant eye) in combination with an asymmetric multifocal IOL in the nonamblyopic eye. The nonamblyopic eye must, however, have a sufficient photopic pupil diameter of greater than 3.5 mm.
We recommend the use of a capsular tension ring in all surgeries to facilitate subsequent IOL rotation or explantation. Preoperative pupil assessment is essential, and we actively assess all patients with the Aladdin biometry and topography system (Topcon). This instrument gives information on photopic and mesopic pupil diameters, pupil shift, and pupil centration, which aids the surgeon's decision on IOL placement and near add power. Other instruments can give similar pupil information.
We like to use the SBL-3 IOL because it displays high tolerance in myopic, hyperopic, and emmetropic patients, especially with a lower add in the dominant eye. One must keep in mind that pupil diameters must be assessed and that only patients with adequate photopic pupil diameters should be selected.

Salford University Graduate Fashion Show 2012
I was asked to create some unique pieces of jewellery for Salford University graduate fashion show.
The brief was 'Nomadic' with a fairly neutral colourway to compliment the blues and greys of the fashions designers collection. Two pieces were commissioned: a slave bracelet and a head dress circlet, as well as the Lady of the Lake necklace which I had already made.
Both of the new pieces needed to be visible from the catwalk so a bold and strong design was called for. I designed both statement pieces to catch the audiences attention, using blues, greys and ochres.

text: Just got my latest AW (11.9.98 issue) and it reports that an Audi official has said the All-Road will be built sometime in calendar-year 2000 and sold both in the US and Europe. I'm not sure we need another cosmetics-only styling exercise, even from Audi. So hopefully it will have some desirable features not found in your standard Avant! Personally I'd love an Avant, but my sights *could* be swayed. Also reported was the (expected) return of the S4, this time on an A4 base with the 250 hp turbo motor from the upcoming TT. Sadly, the A3 hatchback coupe supposedly won't find its way here according to Audi North American VP Gerd Klauss. Audi figures the size is a problem and, Gee! , we already have the A4 1.8T! Maybe they also looked at the success rate of that little kurz WMB and figured the US didn't like shortys?! Anyway, pick up (or read) a copy at your local newsstand next week to get more of the details. Later, Dan

Maple St. But the project has been stalled because the library hasn't been able to get permission from the park district to build more than one story on land that used to be part of Lilacia Park.New water meters coming for Elmhurst, Lombard
Installation of new water meters is beginning in Elmhurst and Lombard as both towns look to replace outdated technology with devices that will provide more accurate readings. Residential water meters in both communities are more than 25 years old, and the towns say they lose money on unaccounted water use the aging meters fail to record.Sound check: Ember Oceans brings new sound to Nellie's
Ember Oceans has maintained its place as a rising star on the Chicago-area indie pop scene with catchy songs, a champagne-bubbly energy, and a fun, tropical aesthetic. But growth is a part of life, and the Palatine foursome is tackling adulthood head-on, injecting their newer songs with more mature emotion and bringing a darker and funkier rock vibe into the mix.Judge dismisses public-pay abortion challenge, appeal next
An Illinois judge dealt a blow to anti-abortion groups Thursday, dismissing a lawsuit aimed at stopping a law that's about to take effect that would expand Medicaid and state-employee group health insurance to cover abortions. Associate Circuit Judge Jennifer Ascher ruled that the judiciary should not intervene in "political questions" in the General Assembly, such as a law's effective date or whether there's an appropriation to fund it.Henry Tews, started program for addicts in DuPage County, dies
Henry W. Tews was still running a family printing business in 1985 when he started Addison-based Serenity House, which today cares for addicts through both residential and outpatient programs. "He was so passionate about vulnerable people, particularly those who battled substance abuse," said Lisa Snipes, a former Serenity House vice president and director of development who was with the group from 2000 until 2015.'Best-kept secret' no more, Villa Park makes top places to live lists

In this short post I give you two exercises to help you make rejection your bitch.
She Might Cut My Head Off!
A lot of guys avoid approaching a woman they're attracted to because of the fear of being rejected. They seem to think she'll get upset and yell at them, laugh at them, or punch them in the face. Or maybe even cut their heads off! This simply isn't true. Although the divine feminine will always cut off a man's head if he isn't living in his deepest depth.
I know because I used to be that guy. The guy who had his head cut off by the divine feminine and the guy who avoided approaching a woman I was attracted to because I was afraid of being rejected.
But I digress….
Fact: Women love it when guys approach them, especially during the day. Women want to be in a romance novel. They want to live out their fantasies and be swept off their feet by a strong, confident, masculine mature man. If she rejects you she's not rejecting you. She either has a partner, testing your mental fortitude, you've approached while she's busy or from behind, or you were being creepy. Or your approach was awkward or weird; you didn't own you value and worth and froze up.
Read: Why You Freeze Up Around Beautiful Women to overcome this.
Two Exercises To Make Rejection Your Bitch
- The best way to get past the fear of rejection is to go out for 30 days straight and collect as many noes as you can. Ask a cafe owner for a free cake or sandwich, the cashier for free groceries, a stranger for 5 bucks so you can buy a coffee, or ask them for a sip of their drink. The idea behind this is you get comfortable being told no, but more importantly, start to realize that you can handle being rejected. At the moment I'm asking influences if I can interview them for an episode of Success Talk Magazine. Some have said no and some have said yes. Those that have said no have their reasons. The beauty is I've gown from the experience: I'm more aware and accepting that people say no for a number of reasons and that it's not a reflection of who I am as a person. Tip: When you actively seek rejection it rarely happens. It's only when you're afraid of rejection that you get rejected. Read that again.
- Go out and deliberately get rejected by women for 30 days. Don't make it so obvious that they have to reject you. Take it seriously. The best way to do this is ask a woman out while she's busy, for example, a hairdresser while she's cutting someone's hair. The idea is to get comfortable with her telling you no and to understand why she told you no – she was busy or it was the wrong time, etc. Then when you approach a woman who isn't busy and she says no for whatever reason you know you can handle it. You tell her thanks anyway and move on to the next one. Her no doesn't bother you because you've made rejection your bitch.
Watch this short video of me collecting a no
Final Thoughts
I'm not sure the negative feeling of getting rejected or being told no ever goes away. I still feel some pain whenever I hear a no. But what I can tell you is that the more you go for no the less pain and hurt you feel. And the negative feeling only last for a short time. I'm nearly at the stage where I feel great about being rejected or told no. My self-esteem has improved ten fold that is for sure. Once the pain goes away I sit back and think: "Man, you're awesome for doing that. Not many people can or would do that. The more I go for no the more I'm going to get the things I want."
Now go out and get rejected!
As always, thanks for reading.

I've been studying up on Akamai Technologies's history since starting work in the InfoSec department earlier this month. One of the coolest and most moving lessons has been a study of company co-founder Danny Lewin, who died aboard Flight 11 on 9/11 when terrorists drove it into the north tower of the World Trade Center.

Lewin is actually considered the first casualty of that terrible day because he was killed during an attempt to stop the hijacking. I wrote about it in "InfoSec Central To Lewin's Legacy" in the Akamai Blog. Check it out!

Over the weekend, the San Bernardino Police Department took to its Twitter account to highlight its crackdown on rule breakers. In a city struggling with violent and property crime rates far above the state average, this typically would be a good thing. However, the transgressors in this case were street vendors selling flowers, fruit and small items like roller skates.
"Outstanding job supporting our community by cracking down on illegal businesses," read one tweet, accompanied by an image of a community policing truck bed filled with seized flowers.
Perhaps the most widely derided tweet showed a fruit stand being wheeled away, accompanied by the message, "Another illegal street vendor taken off the street." The image prompted one user to respond, "Felonious fruit must be stopped."
The sentiment of most was clear: Using the force of government to take down people trying to make a living is excessive.
Following the rules of a society is important. But when rules aren't fundamentally rooted in truly protecting people, the disconnect between rules and enforcement reveals a system at odds with commonsense notions of what requires government intervention.
We are reminded of the arguments of Frederic Bastiat in his 1850 work, "The Law."
"When law and force keep a person within the bounds of justice, they impose nothing but a mere negation," argued Bastiat. "They oblige him only to abstain from harming others. They violate neither his personality, his liberty, nor his property. They safeguard all of these. They are defensive; they defend equally the rights of all."
With this in mind, simply shutting down small-time vendors for not having the right types of paperwork is a violation of individual liberty. If individuals were being harmed by those selling flowers, we haven't seen any evidence of it.
As is usually the case with municipal regulations of businesses, of greatest importance is finding a way for city government to extract more money out of any bit of economic activity. It isn't about public safety and welfare, or even ensuring a fair and level system of economic competition.
The gloating by San Bernardino police is nothing to be proud of. Rather than simply shutting down those peddling small items, the city should be doing what it can to foster economic activity. If they must impose business regulations, licenses and permits, they should do so in the least burdensome manner possible.

HOUSE DEMS PICK THEIR LEADER TODAY – Ryan huddles with Pence, Priebus on transition – McCARTHY TROLLS PELOSI – Reid's last fight? – TRUMP TWEETS, GOP LAWMAKERS SQUIRM
By Heather Caygle (firstname.lastname@example.com or @heatherscope)
With assists from Burgess Everett and Seung Min Kim
Story Continued Below
TODAY IS THE DAY— House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi will face off against Ohio Rep. Tim Ryan for the top post in the Democratic Caucus. Pelosi, the face of House Democrats for the last 14 years, is the overwhelming favorite to win. But her control over the caucus has been weakened in recent weeks as disgruntled rank-and-file members have used Ryan's candidacy to extract some of the biggest leadership concessions from Pelosi in her long-time tenure.
What to watch for: The size of today's anti-Pelosi vote, which will be conducted via secret ballot. Estimates of how many Democrats vote against her range from the low 20s to the high 60s, short of the majority of 198 members (194 lawmakers, 4 delegates) eligible to vote but still a significant — and potentially embarrassing number for Pelosi. Either way, it will inevitably raise the question of whether this is the beginning of the end of the Pelosi era. (Pelosi has said she has the support of two-thirds of the caucus.)
A flashpoint for members: Even though Pelosi has created several new lower-level leadership slots for junior members, many lawmakers are rankled that Pelosi refuses to make the chairman of House Democrats' campaign arm an elected position. Rep. Ben Ray Luján's renomination by Pelosi without broader debate hasn't gone over well with many members. "I think people want to see some accountability … and not just have something coming down from on high when, in the end, it doesn't make our caucus stronger," said Rep. Ruben Gallego, a Ryan supporter who got into a testy exchange with the DCCC's national press secretary on Twitter Tuesday.
How does the CBC vote? Another key question is which way the 40-plus members of the Congressional Black Caucus vote today. CBC members, many irked by some of Pelosi's recent actions, huddled for a long meeting in the Capitol Tuesday evening but most refused to talk to reporters when exiting. CBC Chairman G. K. Butterfield refused to comment on Pelosi's reelection, including whether he personally supported her. Butterfield has been a vocal Pelosi supporter in the past. Bres and I with the story ahead of today's vote: http://politi.co/2gURROs
BuzzFeed's Darren Sands has more backstory on the CBC's anger with Pelosi's proposed changes: http://bzfd.it/2gk0Szs
#StandWithNancy: A majority of incoming Democratic freshmen (22/27) have publicly backed Pelosi heading into today's leadership race. Since the election, many of them have voiced their support on Twitter using #StandWithNancy.
Pelosi took shots at Ryan in an interview with the Huffington Post Monday: "He didn't even carry his district for Hillary Clinton," Pelosi said about Ryan's promise to bring working-class voters back into the Democratic fold. And Ryan's comments that Pelosi only wants more power? "It's so completely not true that it's almost pathetic," she told HuffPost. More from Jennifer Bendery: http://huff.to/2gIdSNw
McCarthy trolls Pelosi: Republican House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy is having a little fun with Pelosi's leadership troubles, taking a half-dozen jabs at his California colleague Tuesday, particularly her decision to keep Luján as the head of DCCC. "I'm rooting for Nancy!" he quipped. "She may have more support in our conference than her own conference." Pelosi spokesman Drew Hammill took his own shots on Twitter, saying that McCarthy didn't have the votes to become speaker last year. Rachael with the story: http://politi.co/2gUSurl
FALLOUT: LEVIN STEPPING DOWN AT W&M— The votes haven't been cast in today's election but there's already been a major fallout: Rep. Sandy Levin, longtime top Democrat on the powerful Ways and Means Committee, is stepping aside. Levin's decision, which he says will allow a younger member to move into the spot, comes as Democrats are gearing up to battle Republicans on several major issues that will come before the committee next year on tax reform and health care.
Outgoing Democratic Caucus Chairman Xavier Becerra and Rep. Richard Neal (who unsuccessfully challenged Levin for the post in 2010) have both said they're running. Bernie and yours truly with more: http://politi.co/2gURumW
RYAN HUDDLES WITH PENCE AND PRIEBUS— House Speaker Paul Ryan will meet today with Vice President-elect Mike Pence and incoming White House chief of staff Reince Priebus to talk about the transition, Rachael reports. "The meeting comes as House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy is expected to unveil the House calendar for 2017. It's likely to include shorter recesses and many five-day weeks, as opposed to the three-day weeks that have become standard." More: http://politi.co/2gUMcHU
'WAR ON SENIORS'— Democrats have a new rallying cry, Burgess reports. "Future Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer trotted out a new messaging attack on Donald Trump and congressional Republicans on Tuesday, accusing the GOP of 'plotting a war on seniors' with its plans to repeal Obamacare and potentially privatize Medicare." More: http://politi.co/2gIcbzo
WEDNESDAY, NOV. 30, ALREADY? This week is sailing by us. Thanks for reading POLITICO's Huddle, the play-by-play guide to all things Capitol Hill.
TUESDAY'S MOST CLICKED— Seung Min's story about Sen. Jeff Sessions' possible immigration crackdown as attorney general was the winner.
TODAY IN CONGRESS— The House meets at 10 a.m. with first votes around 1 p.m. and last votes around 5 p.m. Today's legislative schedule: http://bit.ly/2gUV28w. The Senate gavels in at 10 a.m. with no votes currently scheduled.
AROUND THE HILL— House Democrats meet at 9 a.m. to kick off their leadership elections. They will hold a press conference after in the lobby of 1100 Longworth. House Speaker Paul Ryan, House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy and other GOP leaders hold a press conference following their conference meeting at 10 a.m. in HC-5.
Rep. Trent Franks holds a 12:30 p.m. press conference on the Israeli-Palestinian peace process in the House triangle. Rain location: 2360 Rayburn. McCarthy, GOP leaders and House Energy and Commerce Chairman Fred Upton hold a press conference on the 21st Century Cures Act at 5 p.m. in HVC Studio A.
REID'S LAST FIGHT? Senate Democrats are weighing what to do about the 21st Century Cures Act, a key legislative priority of Mitch McConnell and President Barack Obama. McConnell plans to take it up after the House passes the medical innovation bill, but Senate Democrats have strategized three times this week already over how to handle it as liberal Sens. Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren argue it is insufficient and amounts to a corporate giveaway.
Senate Minority Whip Dick Durbin said in an interview it's "possible" the bill could be stalled until next year, although no final decision has been made. "We're stilling debating it. It's a hot topic," Durbin said. Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid told reporters they won't decide until next week. "The reason is: We don't have a bill yet," he added. Aides said Democrats will likely ask the GOP to beef up some funding in the bill, but it may be too late to change the bill given McConnell's goal of bolting by the end of next week.
SPOTTED: Secretary of State John Kerry racing to get out of the Senate's carriage entrance so as not to impede Majority Leader Mitch McConnell's near-simultaneous exit from the Capitol on Tuesday evening.
WILL HATCH RUN? Sen. Orrin Hatch, the most senior Republican in the World's Greatest Deliberative Body, has flirted recently with running for an eighth term for his Utah Senate seat next year. On Tuesday, Hatch gave what seemed to be his most definitive comments yet that he's not going to retire just yet, noting that Trump's ascension to the presidency has changed Hatch's own calculus on whether he should stick around.
In his own words: "Personally, I'm going to do what I think is best for our country and my state, and right now as chairman of the Finance committee it's hard not to think that what's right for my state is for me to put in some more years," Hatch told reporters on Tuesday. "I don't think Utah is ever going to have another chairman of the Finance Committee." The veteran senator's comments came the same day that former Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman told Bloomberg Politics that he was considering a run for the Senate.
NO APRIL FOOL'S DAY HERE— House Republican leaders are considering extending government funding through April, Rachael and Bres report. "Senate Republicans, under Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), are worried that the workload required to confirm Trump's cabinet nominations will bleed into the spending debate. They want more time to finish nominations before turning their attention to the fiscal fight and have been pushing for a CR through May instead." Current law expires Dec. 9. More: http://politi.co/2fIM0Xb
TRUMP TRANSITIONS: CHAO TAPPED FOR DOT— Former Labor Secretary Elaine Chao has been picked by Trump to lead the Department of Transportation. Chao was head of the Labor Department under President George W. Bush and she's married to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell. More from Seung Min, Anna and Andrew, who broke the news Tuesday: http://politi.co/2gCeHd0
Sessions expected to get fast tracked: Senate Republicans are planning to move quickly on Sen. Jeff Sessions' attorney general nomination. Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley even plans to hold confirmation hearings on Sessions before Trump's January 20 inauguration. "Previous attorney general nominees for presidents-elect — such as John Ashcroft for George W. Bush and Eric Holder for Barack Obama — had their confirmation hearings before the president was formally sworn into office, Grassley noted." Seung Min: http://politi.co/2gUULTe
And so far, most of Trump's cabinet picks are going a long way toward reassuring Republicans that the president-elect will "stock his government with road-tested conservatives," Burgess reports. "I think you can tell a lot about the quality of the people [he] surrounds [himself] with and are going to be doing a lot of the day-to-day heavy lifting," Senate Majority Whip John Cornyn said. More: http://politi.co/2gIeOBr
Race is on for Budget gavel: Just hours after President-elect Donald Trump tapped Rep. Tom Price to lead the Health and Human Services Department, his GOP colleagues started jockeying for the House Budget gavel Price will leave behind. Rep. Todd Rokita, the vice-chairman of the committee, was the first to throw his name in, but other committee members who have been in Congress longer, like Reps. Mario Diaz-Balart and Tom McClintock, could challenge him. More from Ben and Rachael: http://politi.co/2gUTKdS
Related: Democrats to target Price nomination in proxy fight over health care. Bloomberg: http://bloom.bg/2gIgxqp
WILL CONGRESS PROBE TRUMP CONFLICTS? House Oversight Committee Chairman Jason Chaffetz told the Huffington Post's Matt Fuller that "it's sort of ridiculous to go after" Trump and his business interests now when he hasn't been sworn in yet and "his financial disclosure is already online." More: http://huff.to/2gjU9p9
C'MON MAN, PROVE IT— GOP Sen. Lindsey Graham, a long-time Trump critic, "bluntly urged the President-elect to stop making baseless allegations that millions of votes were cast illegally" on Tuesday, Elana reports. "'You are now the president-elect of the United States,' Graham reminded Trump. 'If you really believe that millions of people voted illegally, you should have some proof. Because your voice is not just an ordinary voice.'" More: http://politi.co/2gUUsrJ
Speaking of Trump and tweeting, GOP senators are tired of answering questions about the President-elect's penchant for spontaneous outbursts on the social media site. "I'm not commenting on Donald Trump's daily comments," Sen. John McCain told reporters Tuesday, later saying, "I will not speak about Donald Trump." Elana and Seung Min with the story: http://politi.co/2gUR7bX
McCONNELL BREAKS WITH TRUMP— "Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell broke with Donald Trump on Tuesday, saying he disagrees with the President-elect on flag burning while urging Trump to stop litigating the results of an election he won," Burgess reports. More: http://politi.co/2gIcbiR
ARRIVAL LOUNGE— Sen. Thad Cochran has hired Brad White as his chief of staff starting Jan. 1. White has served as Cochran's state director since June 2015.
TUESDAY'S TRIVIA WINNER— Logan Ferree was the first to guess that Charles Winberry Jr. was the other federal judicial nominee opposed by the Senate Judiciary Committee in the 1980s (Sen. Jeff Sessions being the other). And thanks to Michelle Ye Hee Lee for helping Huddle find a citation for the answer.
TODAY'S TRIVIA— Logan with today's question: President-elect Trump's relationship with Congress goes back to the early 1990s when he testified before a House subcommittee regarding the competition in the casino industry against Indian gaming operations. What then congressman and future senator invited Trump to testify and what's the name of the committee he appeared before?
The first person to correctly guess the answer to today's question gets a mention in tomorrow's Huddle. Have your own Congress or D.C.-themed trivia questions you'd like to see in Huddle? Send them my way: email@example.com
