Opportunity Tune in AlertWatch this year's International Myeloma Working Group Conference Series in Vienna. myeloma.org Dear Nurse Professional, On April 28, 2016 nurses from across the nation convened in San Antonio, Texas for the Oncology Nursing Society (ONS) 41st Annual Congress. Since 2007 the International Myeloma Foundation (IMF) Nurse Leadership Board has been granted a Satellite Symposium at the ONS Congress to provide continuing education for oncology nurses. More than 900 nurses attended this symposium entitled, "Updates in Multiple Myeloma: Case Studies in Collaborative Nursing and Patient Care". Through case studies, the faculty highlighted best practices in managing myeloma patients at different stages of disease and through different types of treatment. The faculty focused on nursing implications and provided tools to build partnerships with patients and their caregivers to promote optimal survivorship. The IMF was founded in 1990 with a mission to improve the quality of life of myeloma patients while working toward prevention and a cure. Since then, the IMF has remained fully committed to empowering patients through education, while ensuring that their doctors and nurses receive the most current information to help diagnose and treat patients with myeloma. It is with this commitment to bring the finest education to nurse professionals that we are sharing the following webcasts from the recent symposium. Thank you for your ongoing service to the myeloma community. Sincerely, Diane Moran, RN, MA, EdM Senior Vice President Strategic Planning International Myeloma Foundation Multiple Myeloma Background and Case Study 1: Newly Diagnosed Multiple Myeloma, Diagnostic Criteria, Response, Extended Treatment Team, Shared Decision Making, Minimal Residual Disease Presented by Joseph D. Tariman, PhD, ANP-BC and Beth Faiman, PhD, MSN, APRN-BC, AOCN® Joseph D. Tariman and Beth Faiman began the symposium by presenting background information on multiple myeloma, including discussing an overview of recently approved drugs and how diagnosis has changed in recent years to include myeloma defining events, not only end organ damage (CRAB criteria). They went on to discuss the case study of a newly diagnosed patient, highlighting different ways myeloma patients tend to present, and discussing common treatment regimens, patient management, and the nurse's roles in adherence, shared decision making, and survivorship care plans. Link Case #1 (Total time: 25:31) Case Studies 2 & 3: Newly Diagnosed MM, 1+ Prior Therapies, Bone Health, Renal Health, Relapsed Myeloma, Immunotherapy, Clonal Evolution Presented by Donna Catamero ANP-BC, OCN, CCRC and Beth Faiman, PhD, MSN, APRN-BC, AOCN® Donna Catamero presented two case studies that highlighted the newly approved drugs izazomib and elotuzumab for patients who had received prior therapy for multiple myeloma; clinical pearls including best practices for patient management were included. Beth Faiman integrated recent research into each case including discussing how the research results influence shared decision making. The concepts of clonal evolution, monitoring response, and tailoring therapy to the patient were explored, as well as the nurses' role in educating patients on the important topics of bone and renal health. Link Case #2 & #3: (Total time: 23:51)Case Studies 4, 5 & 6: Relapsed Myeloma, Treatment for Relapsed Myeloma, Drugs in Development Presented by Tiffany Richards, RN, MS, ANP-BC and Beth Faiman, PhD, MSN, APRN-BC, AOCN® Tiffany Richards continued the symposium by discussing cases highlighting daratumumab, carfilzomib and pomalidomide including clinical pearls and best practices for patient management. Once again, Beth Faiman integrated current research, including the Aspire and Endeavor trials, as well as drugs in development. Tiffany closed the presentation by reviewing the many free resources the Nurse Leadership Board and the IMF have created to help nurses and their patients and caregivers.

Five minutes before the start of a Walk to End Alzheimer's in Temple, Texas, someone approached Tracy Hamilton and mentioned that they had no one to sing the National Anthem. It took only a moment for Tracy to step up and volunteer. Five minutes later, she was singing for the crowd. That's just who Tracy is. When there is something that needs to be done to help others, she will step up and do it without a second thought. For six years now, she has sung the National Anthem for the CASA Superhero Run, she was our number one fundraiser for the race in 2015, and she's a runner we love. Read More

Nancy Pollard is a superhero twice over: a CASA volunteer and a superhero fundraiser. Last year, on the strength of her superhero fundraising emails, she raised more than $3,000 for CASA kids, taking the prize as the second largest fundraiser of 2015 and the fifth largest fundraiser in the history of the CASA Superhero Run. We asked her to share her advice for other superhero fundraisers and she took a break from fundraising to explain her seven principles. Read More

About a month ago, one of my fellow unemployed creativites did something very out of the box. She spammed every creative agency she knew in Seattle, pitching her product (the product is her of course, she's jobless). And guess what? It worked, she got the interview! You know why it worked? Because she was passionate about working for that company, passionate about her product, passionate about writing creative stuff and all of this spewed forth in her email pitch. According to a smart guy I know, passion is apparently the key to getting interviews and differentiating yourself in this job market. Now, she didn't get the job because as it turns out, there really wasn't a job available and these ass clowns just brought her in for sheer entertainment purposes, but that's a story for another time.
So anyway – yeah – it's this passion thing that will land you the job I guess! I know, duh Keri, right? But you see, I haven't been super passionate about my job in a very long time and my resume highlights all the boring details of my passionless career. And that's just it. My resume is freaking boring as hell and does absolutely nothing to showcase my interests, passion, energy or creativity. Which is fine, I suppose if I want to land a job that's ultimately going to bore me to death, force me to color inside the lines and suck out my soul! And sadly enough, these are all the types of jobs that I am seeing online, which as you know don't interest me.
Now before I continue with this thought, I want to compare my resume to my blog for a minute because I think it's important. (Prepare yourself, you are about to witness "a-mother-f*ing-a-ha" moment people! )When I got laid off from my job at Microsoft, I felt like a no talent ass clown wearing house pants and growing a muffin top. Then, I did something crazy and started blogging about this experience and a funny thing happened. I discovered a new talent and a new passion – creative writing. Yes, I knew I could communicate since I came from a PR/marketing background (with some project management sprinkled in), but I really didn't know that I could WRITE, write and here's what I mean by that.
People who've met me and have heard me verbally tell my crazy stories have told me that when they read my blog, they can actually hear me talking and see my mannerisms. I had no idea I could do this! None at all and this my friends is the first "a-ha moment" and now…wait, wait for it! Here's the other and it goes back to that passion thing.
While I haven't been getting job interviews (just the one!), strangely enough I've been getting media interviews. Why? Probably because my blog is different and it's over-flowing with the real-deal Keri, the one I know well and have a love hate relationship with. The irreverant one that rolls unscripted, who's naturally off-the-cuff. The one who's dreaming up random inventions or ideas about nothing and everything all at once. The interesting one, the out-of-the box creativite who's drawing outside the lines and loving it. The passionate me. So it seems there are two completely different candidates (both in the same body!). We have the resume Keri (a lifeless being, who's been going through the motions) and the blog Keri (an energetic, determined and passionate woman who's reinventing herself so she can make a personally meaningful difference on this earth). Now, who would you hire?
Thankfully I got that gift of the pink-slip, took a chance on blogging and uncovered this new writing passion. And, thanks to my blog and my outgoing personality, I've also discovered that I really like networking and helping people who are jobless find themselves, find a job or when all else fails, to simply find humor in their house pants. I like what I am doing and I'm not making a dime. Isn't that interesting.

How to get to Bagan Myanmar provides the best practices for anybody that is looking for ways to the land of the wonderful temples. There are numerous highlights to savor in this charming city, including Balloon Ride, dozens of great temples to visit, etc. The following comprehensive guide will aid you in deciding how to reach there.
By Air – Travel to Bagan via Domestic and International Flights
Myanmar has the direct flights to Nyaung U (the nearest airport to Bagan) from the four cities namely Heho, Mandalay, Naypyidaw, and Yangon. In particular, those asking how to get to Bagan from Mandalay are recommended to take the direct domestic flight to save time if possible. It's better to book the tickets online in advance, especially during the peak season (from November to February). In general, the flight from Heho takes 40 minutes while the one from Yangon takes about 1 hour 20 minutes. The common carriers are Air Bagan, Yangon Airways, Air Mandalay, Air KBZ, and Asian Wings.
Besides, you can combine the international flight and domestic flight to reach Bagan from your places. There is no direct flight to Bagan, which means you have to land on either Yangon or Mandalay first. From there, you have some options to reach Bagan. For instance, if your concern is how to get to Bagan from Chiang Mai (Thailand), then take a direct flight from Chiang Mai to Mandalay, and then fly from Mandalay to Bagan. The other option is to fly from Chiang Mai to Yangon, and then from Yangon to Bagan. Those that are from Vietnam should go by plane to Yangon, and then go to Bagan by either flight or bus.
By Road – Go to Bagan via Car and Bus
There are lots of buses between Bagan and other provinces. Commonly, most of the travelers ask how to get to Bagan from Yangon. In fact, besides the direct domestic flights from Yangon to Bagan, people are likely to use buses to get there. From the Yangon Airport, you can catch a taxi to reach the Aung Mingalar Bus Station in which you buy the bus tickets to Bagan. The high-quality companies on this route are JJ Bus and Elite.
It's worth pointing out that the bus system in this city is quite good, convenient, and affordable. The buses might depart from the touristy cities like Yangon, Mandalay, Nyaung Shwe, Kalaw, Taunggyi, and Pyin Oo Lwin. As scheduled, the buses will stop at the stopovers once every several hours, and offer water bottles and wet hand towels to the passengers.
By Water – Reach Bagan's Water World via River Cruises
If you're adventurous and have plenty of time budget, cruising to Bagan is the exciting and memorable option. The voyages to this city on the beautiful Ayeyarwaddy River are worth experiencing though it takes up to 12 hours to reach the destination. In fact, cruising on the well-known Ayeyarwaddy River is one of the best things to do in Bagan, which allows you to contemplate the local peace, beauty, and lifestyle. Set on the riverside of the Ayeyarwaddy are the traditional houses, the scared Burmese pagodas, primitive lush trees, etc., which make up the eye-catching spectacle to cherish for hours.
The Best to See in Bagan
Make any minute of yours in Bagan tours fruitful by visiting these sites:
- Shwezigon Paya
- Ananda Temple
- Bagan Archaeological Museum
- Shwe Sandaw Pagoda
- Dhammayangyi Temple
- Khayminga Temple
- Shwegu Gyi Temple
- Sulamani Guphaya
Wait for what? Practice how to get to Bagan early on, while the wonderful, sacred, and gilded temples and pagodas remain mind-blowing to captivate you all.

This will be my fourth consecutive South by Southwest festival, but that does not an expert make.
Still, I have a relatively decent grasp on the way things might go down in Texas this weekend and am not afraid to throw some guesses into the wind.
1. The fest continues to burst at the seams: You know you've got a crowd problem when companies are strapping Wi-Fi hot spots to homeless people and having them wander crowded areas.
Last year, I spoke to a cabdriver who has lived in Austin for more than 30 years, and she said that SXSW keeps getting crazier and crazier. I've felt the crowds grow in the short period I've been attending: Lines grow longer, hotels get snapped up a year in advance and trying to get one of those taxis late at night is harder than getting into the Bruce Springsteen show.
Eventually, something has got to give. Will this year be the year?
2. The Lumineers begin their year of domination: Local band the Lumineers are set to release their self-titled debut April 3. But before they do, they've got some industry folks to impress in Austin.
I've had the chance to check the record out, and fans of everything from Mumford & Sons to Edward Sharpe or even Bill Monroe will find something to jiggle a cowboy spur to. It's catchy and approachable, and it might just win them fans across the country.
3. The celeb du jour will be Todd Barry: Last year comedian Aziz Ansari was everywhere. The year before, Bill Murray was as ubiquitous as Lone Star tallboys. This year, I'm betting on Todd Barry to be all over Austin.
He has a few stand-up gigs at the fest, and, according to his site, his next show isn't until March 23 in New York. Additionally, Barry is a music fan (his Fugazi sendup is classic), and when I lived in New York, I would see the dude at bars on a monthly basis. He has the ability to just be there. Here's hoping he and his deadpan humor are all over SXSW.
(If you're not familiar with Barry, check out his Twitter feed. He frequently participates in trending topics and, in one fell swoop, subversively skewers the subject, participants and creators. Example Tweet: #SongsThatCancelEachOtherOut "I Like Chinese Food" — The Beatles // "I Don't Like Chinese Food" — The Rolling Stones.)
4. And you shall know her name is Claire Boucher: Grimes has been around for a bit, but Claire Boucher's act is about to become a household name. Her recent release, "Visions," is chock-full of fresh beats and has already been critically lauded.
But her tour has taken her to only a handful of cities in the South. Before she hits the East Coast and plots a full summer sojourn, the media at SXSW are going to ramp up their drooling. I count at least four performances in Austin as well as one awesome new music video.
5. Punk rock is king: If 2011 was the year of the ladies, perhaps this year will be dominated by groups like the Men.
That Brooklyn outfit plays SXSW, as does Cleveland's Cloud Nothings; both have released excellent albums already this year. Titus Andronicus and Off! play, too, and both are expected to unveil new full-lengths this year. All are a breath of fresh air after the Year of Adele.

Instagram's newest feature allows you to follow whichever hashtags you choose, placing them directly into your feed. Not only is this a great tool for staying connected, but this allows your brand to reach another level of engagement. Here's why we think you should be using this newest feature:
1. Follow Trends
Start by following hashtags specific to your city, audience, and product. For example - we follow hashtags such as #AtlantaLife, #SocialMedia, and #AtlEats because those reflect our interests, as well as the interests of our clientele. Follow a few, and unfollow as your see fit. These are ever-changing, so the algorithm will constantly bring you fresh, new content.
2. Have your audience follow your brand's unique hashtag
If you haven't already, make a unique hashtag specific to your brand. Make it straight and to the point, or create multiple! For example - ours is simply #BOFCreative, however a clothing company may use #___OnMe or #___Styled. Get creative, and make sure you tell you audience they can follow along (and how) via Instagram Stories!
3. Stay Inspired
By constantly seeing brand-new content revolving around the foundation of your brand, you are streamlining your progress and staying ahead of the curve. Look to these updates for inspiration. How do you want to be seen when new profiles follow along? Which hashtags do you or do you not want to be a part of? There's no wrong answer, so don't be afraid to try new things or refresh the hashtags featured on your posts every couple weeks.

9/10/16 (Saturday) in West Yellowstone, MT ( Yellowstone Holiday RV Campground – $42/night, N side)
As I noted yesterday, we drove to Artist's Point first thing this morning and took more photos. It's a double edged sword to have digital photography now days: you can take hundreds of photos (easy) but you need to sift through them all to find the best (hard).
We stopped at a couple falls; Gibbon (before Artist's Point) and Tower (after). They were nice, but not spectacular.
Then we went into the Lamar Valley to find animals we could photograph.
We saw this Bison in the Lamar Valley but I can't figure how to get his photo with the others!
Next we visited the Petrified Tree, standing all alone. Anatomically the trunk is indistinguishable from present day redwoods in California. This happened when a chain of volcanoes erupted here 50 million years ago. The rolling landslides of ash, water and sand buried forests. Before the trees could rot silica in the flow plugged living cells, creating "forests of stone."
We continued our travels to the North Entrance (Gardiner, MT) and got pictures of the Roosevelt Arch. It was great fun walking through the "man door" at the side – so refreshingly cool, just from the rock.
On to Mammoth Hot Springs. We explored the lower terrace, but we chose not to take the upper terrace drive. It was getting late (we wanted to avoid the animal/people congestion) and we were getting low on gas. As it turned out, we hit less of that congestion and had enough gas to fill up in West Yellowstone. Yay! Sort of crashed once we got home.

Etsy's top wedding trends of 2018
Prime wedding season is almost upon us! As brides and grooms are planning their big day, Etsy released its 2018 wedding trends guide, rounding up the top trending wedding looks, motifs and decor for non-traditional brides.
Dayna Isom Johnson, an Etsy trend expert, debuted the list today on "Good Morning America."
1. All about embroidery
Embroidered embellishments are a breakthrough trend of the season for Etsy brides. The hand-stitched frocks are appearing on wedding gowns and bridal jumpsuits and mix folksy and formal. The term "embroidered bridal wear" has racked up 40 percent more product views so far this year than in 2017, according to Etsy.
2. Statement veils
Veils with fringe, florals, romantic draping, detailed appliques and color are another hot trend. A showstopping veil with intricate details is perfect for the bohemian bride who wants to amp up her look. Searches results are up 213 percent since 2017.
"It's about statement veils. Veils that pack a punch," Isom Johnson said.
Crown and Glory, Secret Garden Veil, $250+
Olivia The Wolf Shop, Hoxton Veil, $318
3. Dramatic capes
The cape made its way from models on the runway and celebrities on the red carpet to brides walking down the wedding aisle. There has been upward of 5,000 searches for capes like this since January and counting.
The style has elements of drama, glamor and edge. Pair a cape with a jumpsuit for a dramatic second look for the reception.
"What I love about the cape is that it adds a little bit of coverage, but it adds all the drama," Isom Johnson said.
4. Non-traditional guest books
The traditional guest book is being replaced by creative keepsakes that can be incorporated into the couple's home and lifestyle. Etsy searches for guest book alternatives are up 53 percent in the last year. Couples are opting for custom wooden versions of Jenga that guests can sign and couples can continue to enjoy long after the wedding.
A custom wedding puzzle guest book is also unexpected and unique. Your guests sign each puzzle piece, and then you can have it on hand in your home or have it framed.
If you're a travel-loving couple, guests can sign a globe to wish you well on your wedding day and beyond.
Another creative and interactive keepsake is a thumbprint "book" in which guests can leave their print and name to later be framed.
For those still loving the traditional guest book, make it more modern with gold foil lettering and customizable options like meaningful dates and quotes.
5. Hot color palette: Cranberry with peach
Millennial pink is still having a moment, but cranberry with peach and soft pinks is a hot decor trend.
A cranberry hue paired with gold can work on invitations to florals to dinnerware to sugar flowers and more.
6: Pet-friendly weddings
In 2018, pets are being worked into the wedding day in details like dogs playing flower girl with flower collars, to signs for the dog to sport, or pet cake toppers if your dog won't be at the ceremony.
7. Stacking rings
Colorful stones have been trending for some time, but now some brides are opting to stack their favorite color gemstones or birthstones together for a custom bridal look. It's perfect for the bride-to-be who doesn't want to be traditional.
Stackable stone ring, $39

About Us
ChowCaddie's (formerly Santa Clarita Valley to Go) mission is to ensure that your local restaurant's food is delivered to you fast, when you want it and 7 days a week. But what makes us different from other deliver services is our belief in the special relationship that communities have with their local eateries. In most cases, a community's uniqueness is defined by what they offer as "local flavor". This is why 90 percent of our partner restaurants will always be local and family owned. Also, to help make sure that these eateries stay in your community, we will never charge a commission (unlike other delivery services), which will help them compete with larger national brands and hire and sustain a local workforce.

A BI Recipe for Success with Surface RT
January 14, 2013 Leave a comment
The Surface with Windows RT devices have been roaming the streets for several weeks now. More than a few companies are trying to get ahead of how this type of device is going to be incorporated into their IT landscape, and Business Intelligence departments are often at the front of the line. We have put together a little recipe to enable interesting and useful Business Intelligence delivered via the Surface RT.
Mobile devices are primarily consumption devices. Windows 8 changes the equation, but it does not change the fact that when people are on the go—without large monitors, traditional keyboards, and mice—they are going to skew more toward consumption than creation.
Clearly mobile devices are becoming more and more prevalent. There is a fantastic tie-in here to business intelligence. The information provided through BI does not add any value if it is not consumed. Gartner predicts by 2013 a third of all BI functionality will be consumed on mobile devices. I am not sure what point in 2013 they expect to pass that threshold, but happy new year!
I am excited for the reinforcements in mobility that Windows 8 naturally brings to the Microsoft BI stack. However, as a fan of PowerPivot I was a tad sobered to see this blog post by Analysis Services guru Kasper de Jonge. PowerPivot is not available on Windows RT. And for that matter neither is Silverlight and, therefore, Power View. Kasper does remind us that Excel on Windows RT will still create pivot tables and can connect to a Business Intelligence Sematic Model (BISM) service. That is useful for some lightweight analysis within the Excel App with an online data source.
However, if you are connected, which you would need to be anyway to take advantage of a BISM multidimensional cube or tabular model data source, why not take it a step further and let the cloud do as much work for your consumers as possible? That is what we have done with the following recipe.
A few simple, out-of-box ingredients:
- One fresh Surface with Windows RT (for the consumer)
The Surface offers fantastic new hardware. Discussion and reviews are bountiful, so we will not go into too much detail here.
- A handful of SharePoint Online 2013 Enterprise with Excel Services (for the provider)
This is the secret ingredient. Using SharePoint Online makes this a fully fledged cloud-based solution which plays nicely with those mobile devices, and their users, that refuse to sit still. Users even have the option to expose a pivot table field list and adjust the report on the fly.
Excel Services in SharePoint 2013 include some exciting new features, like Quick Explore, which empowers drill-down and enables real ad hoc data interrogation for power and regular users. To keep the data up to date, we've seen success leveraging a script to refresh workbooks hosted with SharePoint Online.
- A dash of Excel 2013, or in a pinch Excel 2010 with PowerPivot (for the report author)
Authoring reports in Excel, with its strength in data source compatibility, allows all of the data modeling and authoring to be done in the world's most popular analysis tool. Report authors need not be developers and the cost of creating new reports drops to new lows. Through the use of finger-friendly slicers, charts, and pivot tables you can easily provide users with an experience that feels nothing like looking at a spreadsheet.
We have found that mixing these ingredients creates a dish that delivers some hearty BI morsels.
To be fair, a browser-based delivery mechanism is not unique to the Surface RT. In fact, quite the opposite is true. Providing users with the scrumptious data and visuals they crave through the browser is about as cross platform and cross form-factor as you can get. This is—mostly—a good thing. The only reason to qualify here is that you'll need to consider the variety of mobile and desktop devices (as well as their screen sizes and aspect ratios) that your users will leverage to access reports. If you are able to target a specific device, or use creativity to steer users to a specific version of a report based on a specific device, then make your reports shine for that device. However, we recommend balancing your time between crafting perfectly placed pixels and creating a generic report that offers rich insights on a variety of devices.
What makes the Surface RT useful as a BI delivery tool, particularly in this recipe, is really Excel Services on SharePoint 2013. The half-second press and hold gives you touch access to Quick Explore drill-downs along with the power to edit the pivot via the "Show Field List" option. With SharePoint Online supporting Excel Services, you can easily create a 100% cloud-based BI solution. Like all recipes there are modifications which you can make to better suit your needs. For example, if you need to support larger data sets (more than a few million rows) or are looking to leverage some of the more advanced features in SharePoint 2013, then running the on-premises version of SharePoint server will allow you to scale that processing capability and feature set as needed. The screenshots below are based on a data connection to Salesforce CRM (but could be Microsoft Dynamics or almost anything).
Bon appétit!

Cthulhu Plush
The Doom that Came to ThinkGeek
- Straight from the sunken city of R'lyeh
- Hug it, love it, play with it
- Just don't make it mad - that would be very bad indeed
From "The Call of Cthulhu," by H.P. Lovecraft, we learn of a gigantic creature. It has existed for longer than memory, and has traveled between the stars. It can never die, and its very existence puts all that we know or think we know into question. It is truly alien, viewing humans and our society the same way we would view tiny insects. Cthulhu is a mass of tentacles and claws and feelers and scales. It is truly a vision of a nightmare, which, of course, means it would make a perfect addition to your home or office!
As a charming plush, this cute little monster will be happy to glare evilly at anyone – just for you. Look at that tentacled face – absolutely, other-worldly adorable. Come on; give that widdle, cuddley-wuddley, widdle Cthulhu a kiss. You know you want to. And if you are really nice to this small plush version of Cthulhu, when the real one wakes up…it might not eat you.
Dimensions: Approx. 6" tall with a 6" wing span.

An exhilarating descent
down sharp switchbacks drops us in Colorado, land of extremes. As Geoff and I spin through the Dolores River Valley, our bikes drift into the middle of the road. No car has passed by in half an hour.
We're about nine miles from Bedrock, Colo.
, only the second town we'd pass through in over 50 miles. Geoff tells me to keep my eye out for a store, as ice cream has become our main motivation on this trip. Sandstone walls box in an sprawling agricultural oasis, still green and glowing from heavy rainstorms the week before.
Bedrock, on the other hand, looks dirty and worn.
Those rainstorms that drenched the fertile fields west of here drained into the Dolores in a rush of saturated water. Bedrock, sitting just of the river banks, took the brunt of the drainage. Streets, tree trunks, and foundations are caked in red silt. Everything else in town appears beaten - 1970s-era trailers, vehicles on blocks, boarded windows, crumbling cabins all occupying a four-block radius that just happened to make it on the Rand McNally map.
"There's not a store here,"
I say, feeling that disappointed pang in my stomach. There's not another town for 21 miles, and we won't pass it today.
And we're just about to blow on by
when I catch, out of the corner of my eye, a sign on one of those deteriorating buildings:
"Bedrock Store, est. 1891."
And in the clouded window is another one:
As we pull up to the door a scraggly mutt limps up to me, but doesn't seem to care one way or the other if I'm there. The person I assume is owner, a large graying man draped in dirt-caked denim, stands on the porch chatting with a mousy middle-aged woman and a teenage boy. A sign on the door reads "Help stop cattle theft," and I wonder how - and more importantly, in this day and age,
- someone would steal an entire cow.
The cashier doesn't even look up
as we walk inside. A man sitting in a chair in the middle of the small single-room market continues making comments about his newspaper to the cashier. The plywood floor creaks under his work boots - again, dirt caked - as he stands up to get more coffee. We don't even exist to them.
Neatly stacked on dusty wooden shelves
is, Geoff tells me, any and every kind of food we could ever want to buy. Cans of spaghetti sauce. Black beans. Macaroni and cheese. Kipper snacks. White bread. All of them already chosen for us. Selection means nothing here. If you want ketchup, you get Heinz. Period.
But here, that makes sense. I settle on grapefruit juice, an ice cream sandwich (the generic kind that come in packages of six for a dollar) and a giant russet potato, chosen from a produce section that contained potatoes, onions, carrots and iceberg lettuce - the hardiest, longest-lasting vegetables known to man. Geoff buys chips and Gatorade, and we sit on the balcony to eat. The mutt shuffles around the gravel parking lot. The cars that pass by keep on going, onto Naturita, only a half hour drive away.
In the early 1970s
The Flinstones
established Bedrock as the origin of all human civilization. In geology, bedrock is a description for foundation, the first layer of earth. Bedrock is solid, planted, unmoving. Entire formations grow and then deteriorate around it, but Bedrock stays where it is.
Bike touring is such that life starts to move backwards
. Technology gives way to the tried and true. Convenience loses importance in the face of survival. The hectic rush to get things done returns to a lingering meander without a destination. On that path, you'll always end up back where you started. And from there on out there's only the retrospective and rose-colored landscape of history ahead.
Before we leave
, I make a stop at the outhouse - the perfect stereotype: all wood, a little moon cut out of the swinging door, the toilet just side-by-side holes with no seats, and no toilet paper for miles. This, by far, is my favorite bathroom of the trip. I could stop at a thousand truck stops that I'll never remember, eat a thousand different kinds of ice cream sandwiches and not recall how any of them tasted, but Bedrock, Colo. is burned on my brain - a permanent foundation.
The Bedrock Store
Day Two of my first bike trip
Day Two:
Stop at the Bedrock Store, est. 1881 in Bedrock, Colo.; 45 miles; Sunny and warm; September 15, 2002
Go to Day Three

International Women's Day 2017
News | Join the conversation | The issue
The 2017 theme for International Women's Day, 8 March, focuses on "Women in the Changing World of Work: Planet 50-50 by 2030".
The world of work is changing, with significant implications for women. On one hand, technological advances and globalization bring unprecedented opportunities for those who can access them. On the other hand, there is growing informality of labour, income inequality and humanitarian crises.
Against this backdrop, only 50 per cent of working age women are represented in the labour force globally, compared to 76 per cent of men. What's more, an overwhelming majority of women are in the informal economy, subsidizing care and domestic work, and concentrated in lower-paid, lower-skill occupations with little or no social protection. Achieving gender equality in the world of work is imperative for sustainable development.
The United Nations observance on 8 March will call upon all actors to Step It Up for Gender Equality towards a Planet 50-50 by 2030 by ensuring that the world of work works for all women.
The upcoming sixty-first session of the Commission on the Status of Women (CSW61), from 13 – 24 March, at UN Headquarters will deliberate on "Women's economic empowerment in the changing world of work." Read more»
Women in the Changing World of Work: Planet 50-50 by 2030
Message by UN Women Executive Director Phumzile Mlambo-Ngcuka on International Women's Day
"We want to construct a different world of work for women. As they grow up, girls must be exposed to a broad range of careers, and encouraged to make choices that lead beyond the traditional service and care options to jobs in industry, art, public service, modern agriculture and science..."

Changing world, changing work
The world of work is changing fast, through innovation, increasing mobility and informality. But it needs to change faster to empower women, whose work has already driven many of the global gains in recent decades. Women still predominantly occupy jobs that pay less and provide no benefits. They earn less than men, even as they shoulder the enormous—and economically essential—burden of unpaid care and domestic work. Realizing women's economic empowerment requires transformative change so that prosperity is equitably shared and no one is left behind. The international community has made this commitment in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Every woman should enjoy her right to decent work. As a global champion for gender equality and women's empowerment, UN Women asks: What do we need to get there? See the photo essay»
International Women's Day 2017
Join UN Women on International Women's Day as we put a spotlight on women in the changing world of work.
What is the real value of unpaid work?
Around the world, women do the vast majority of the unpaid work, including child care, cooking, cleaning and farming. This unpaid work is essential for households and economies to function, but it is also valued less than paid work. UN Women expert Shahra Razavi reveals the real value of unpaid care, and how we can reduce the burden on women by tackling entrenched stereotypes.
What does the data say?
Globalization, digital innovations, and rapid advances in communication technologies pitted against climate change, economic inequality, and humanitarian crises, among other factors, continue to transform the world in which we work — posing both challenges as well as opportunities in realizing women's economic potential for a better tomorrow. Below, explore just some facts on where women stand today in the changing world of work. To explore some facts on where women stand today in the changing world of work, see the full infographic»

About IWD
The United Nations began celebrating International Women's Day (IWD) on 8 March during International Women's Year 1975. Two years later, in December 1977, the General Assembly adopted a resolution proclaiming a United Nations Day for Women's Rights and International Peace to be observed on any day of the year by Member States, in accordance with their historical and national traditions.
International Women's Day first emerged from the activities of labour movements at the turn of the twentieth century in North America and across Europe. Since those early years, International Women's Day has assumed a new global dimension for women in developed and developing countries alike. The growing international women's movement, which has been strengthened by four global United Nations women's conferences, has helped make the commemoration a rallying point to build support for women's rights and participation in the political and economic arenas.
Increasingly, International Women's Day is a time to reflect on progress made, to call for change and to celebrate acts of courage and determination by ordinary women who have played an extraordinary role in the history of their countries and communities.

PJ staff report
RALEIGH, N.C. – With its accreditation revoked and its access to Medicaid reimbursements cut off, the Mental Health Association in North Carolina has closed up shop, The News & Observer reported July 30.
The group announced in a statement July 30 that it was "unable to meet its financial commitments" and will be "working to wind up its affairs and close."
Founded in 1939, the association was the state's oldest and most prominent mental-health advocacy organization and one of North Carolina's largest providers of housing and services for the mentally ill.
Its group homes and treatment programs, which are located throughout the state, are being transferred to Easter Seals UCP of North Carolina.
The association's financial troubles came to light in May, when news reports said it faced more than $1.5 million in liens from the IRS for unpaid payroll taxes.
Apparently, the organization had faced deep financial problems for years that had been hidden from many employees and board members, the News & Observer says.
The association's former executive director, John Tote, accepted a position in May as head of the state's mental-health system, but withdrew a few days later after the organization's tax problems came to light.

Oscar and I have the car for the day so we hit a few thrift stores this morning. Pretty picked over but I found some cute kids stuff.
Some shirts for Oscar that I didn't even notice until I got home were all red, white & blue.
Check out the fantastic car print. I'm a huge sucker for these 70s jacquard knits.
And of course, because I have no girl, a bunch of girl outfits. This very cool birdie nylon shirt is in horrible stained condition but I think I can salvage some of the fabric.
Cord overalls
I love the 80s.
What I really love the air conditioned car. When I was driving around this morning I had all these big ambitious plans for when I got home. Now that I'm back in the apartment I'm just a big melty puddle. Time to plan more errands.

February 23-25, 2015
The 2015 iLab / CORES 5th Annual User Group conference will be held at the Houston Methodist Research Institute in Houston TX. Mark your Calendars - - The dates of the conference will be February 23 - 25, 2015. Keep checking back for details as the plans for the conference progress. We look forward to seeing you there.
Register today and get all the latest information by following this link: iLab/CORES User Group Conference
The CORES User Group consists of Vanderbilt University Medical Center and the other institutions that are using the CORES system. (Partners) The User Group met for the first time in 2010. This conference was such a success; we have decided to hold a CORES User Group Conference once a year. We encourage all institutions using CORES to attend and learn of the new enhancements, etc.
Institutions who are considering the CORES program will benefit tremendously by attending the Conference. The current partners will be there to discuss all aspects of the program and how they have benefited by using CORES. Potential partners will be able to ask questions and talk with the people who are already using the CORES program.
CORES will be demonstrated throughout the conference and various users will present on best practices and lessons learned. Users are welcome to send
Why should we be interested in CORES? What's in it for me?
CORES replaces many paper-based processes allowing for more efficient business operations. CORES saves time and effort in billing, reduces paper, and while allowing the core managers to get back to science and customer service. Internal accounts receivable is essentially eliminated. The Office of Research is able to look at key business indicators across all cores and year-end reporting is greatly simplified.
How much training is involved?
The software is extremely intuitive. Typically the Core Managers and Administrators receive about one hour of training and the PIs do not require any training.
What about updates and on-going support?
Vanderbilt provides functional and technical support. Vanderbilt continues to enhance the system and provides multiple releases each year.
Is this system tied to a specific ERP/Accounting system?
No, CORES will be configured to produce a specific output file based on your institution's general ledger format.
Is there a limit on the number of cores we can use with this system?
No, you add as many cores as you would like. Vanderbilt currently operates over 100 cores with the system.
So what are the next steps?
Contact Vanderbilt for a demo. Assuming you want to move forward Vanderbilt will work with you to configure the system for your needs, load your data and assist you with getting your pilot cores established. It's that easy.

'Beauty and the Beast': Revisiting the Animated Classic
The marketing machine is in full swing for this live-action Beauty and the Beast, starring Emma Watson as Belle and Dan Stevens (of Downton Abbey fame) as the Beast. With an A-list ensemble cast — which includes Kevin Kline, Ewan McGregor, Stanley Tucci, and Emma Thompson — along with CGI that will make you second guess the livelihood of your clocks, candlesticks and teacups, this iteration of the timeless tale is sure to bring in high expectations and high numbers in the box office.
In honor of its endeavor (no pressure, guys!), we look at some of the hard work and historical facts that made the 1991 animated feature an instant classic.
- On two separate occasions, Walt Disney tried to make a film adaption of Beauty and the Beast. His first attempt was in the 1930s and then later in the 1950s, but the challenges to take the story to the big screen were too daunting for writers.
- Belle was modeled to be in her 20s, making her the oldest Disney princess.
- The Beast was inspired by a multiple of wild animals: a gorilla (for its brow), buffalo (for its head), lion (for its mane), boar (for its tusks), bear (for its body) and wolf (for its legs and tail).
- A crew of 600 Disney artists and animators worked on Beauty and the Beast for four years.
- Belle is the only character in the village to wear blue, a symbol of her being different.
- Angela Lansbury (Mrs. Potts) nailed the film's theme song "Beauty and the Beast" in just one take.
- In the original story, Gaston was supposed to have survived his fall from the castle only to be killed by wolves. When that idea was changed, it was later used for Scar's demise in The Lion King.
- To keep costs down, animators used Princess Aurora and Prince Phillip's dance sequence in Sleeping Beauty for Belle and the Beast's memorable dance scene.
- Paige O'Hara, the voice of Belle, actually shed real tears when she recorded the Beast's death scene.
- In 1992 Beauty and the Beast was the only animated film to be nominated for an Academy Award for Best Picture — an achievement it held until the animated film Up was nominated in 2010.
- Beauty and the Beast influenced the Oscars to create a Best Animated Feature category in 2001.
- Among its many accomplishments, Beauty and the Beast also became the first animated feature to make over $100 million at the box office.

Few jobs are as irregular as acting. Which may be why Jeremy Kushnier waited until last year to buy his one-bedroom in Morningside Heights. I just got tired of paying rent, says Kushnier, who coincidentally had been playing Roger in the Broadway musical Rent. I was lucky enough to get great jobs in the past few years, and I wanted to build some equity. So much for that: Sixteen months later, Kushnier's selling his place and moving to Los Angeles to join his actress girlfriend. If he gets his price$509,000he'll do slightly better than break even. But a little negotiation could wipe out his profit altogether. The tough thing is, the market went down, says his broker, Bellmarc's Désirée Halac. A lot of people are offering 10 percent less.
Experts say it's best to hold onto real estate for a couple of years to avoid paying capital-gains taxes and to weather changing markets like this one. (When the market was sizzling, homeowners could sell in a year and make at least 10 percent. If that year was 1999, it was more like 25 percent.) But if you bought recently and have to sell now, you may be in a position not heard of since the early nineties: You can actually lose money on a New York apartment. Some eager sellers are in the grips of an outside force like job relocation or a baby on the way. Others, like Corcoran's Paul LeMarc Brown's clients, have simply changed their minds. A year ago, LeMarc Brown handled a couple's purchase of a Fort Greene co-op for $310,000. A few months after the close, they decided to visit One Hanson Place in downtown Brooklyn and fell hard for the redeveloped tower, which would give them views and amenities their postwar couldn't. Now their old place is available for $345,000, which willagain, if they are lucky enough to get their priceleave them with a profit of less than $5,000.
Kushnier's co-op doesn't allow sublets so soon after an owner moves inruling out that optionand the expenses are piling up. It's a financial burden, he says. Not that selling prematurely is always a problem. Prudential Douglas Elliman's Darren Sukenik says he recently represented the owner of a condo whose company moved him elsewhere soon after buying. The apartment, in Morton Square, went in one day for full asking. If it's great and priced right, it'll sell, he says.

Just curious how everyone is doing...
we're doing good, but I have to say these almost 7 weeks have been a challenge.
first, my MIL (mother-in-law) was with us for 3 weeks. 1 week before dd (dear daughter) was born, and 2 weeks after. She was a HUGE help and I really appreciate her being here. She really helped w/ my oldest dd, cleaned the house, cooked, etc. But after 3 weeks, I just wanted my house and life back! So ready for her to go home.
Then, 2 days before she was supposed to leave, my sister called to say that my dad was in the hospital again w/ a heart attack. He had had multiple attacks in the past. But this one was bad. His cardiologist recommended that family come to see him. So, we drove from NC to Phila to see my dad at the last minute w/ a 2 weeks old and my almost 5 yr old. Thankfully my MIL (mother-in-law) was here to watch our dogs so we didn't have to take them too.
Unfortunately, that was the last time I got to see my dad. The month following consisted of him being sedated in the hospital. He had surgery and never woke, and never recovered. He died a week ago today. :(
So thankful he got to meet his newest granddaughter. And very thankful I got to see him and tell him I loved him.
I have 1 1/2 weeks left of my maternity to leave. To say the least, it's been a tough couple of months.
But, the good news, is that we've adjusted well to having another newborn in the house. my oldest has been amazing!! she'll be 5 next week and has been the biggest helper, and is sooo patient w/ me when I need to attend to her sister. I really proud of her and love that she loves her sister so much. Our baby girl, is also doing very well. She's growing like crazy. And is a super easy baby. Which has been an even bigger blessing considering the other challenges we've been faced with. She nurses like a champ and sleeps through the night. She has since she was 2 weeks old. My dh (dear husband) gives her a bottle at 1am and she sleeps until 6-7:00. Soon, we'll start pushing that bottle back a little to see if we can get her to sleep longer. But I'm usually able to get about 8 hours of uninterrupted sleep a night.
So, how is everyone else doing? How are your little ones? I hope everyone is adjusting, getting sleep and feeling great.

In the food service industry, you would think labor costs would rank the highest on our list of financial worries, and yet food costs can rise unexpectedly and without much warning. That's what we're facing right now in the U.S. as droughts and other issues drive up the costs of various commodities. I recently had the chance to speak with the Wall Street Journal (subscription required) about how the rising cost of food is impacting our Fatburger franchises nationwide.
Fatburger North America Inc., which has 150 restaurants globally, likely will increase its burger prices by 5% next month to reflect higher beef costs. The prices will stay up for a year and come down in the middle of next year when supply catches up with demand."
In case you are unable to view the entire article at the WSJ, I've provided a clip, below. While everyone will feel the pinch of higher food costs, including American families shopping at the grocery store, but fast food and fast casual franchisees will have to decide whether to absorb these costs, or far more likely, whether they will pass them onto consumers.

Lloyds Banking Group has been facing problems with cash machines and cards today as disgruntled customers expressed their dissatisfaction on social media.
The group - made up of Lloyds, Halifax, Bank of Scotland and TSB - has 30 million account holders, and became aware of the problems on Sunday afternoon.
Customers, unsurprisingly, have not been very happy about the situation.

@TSB looking into going to a new bank— Jamie Foxton Akande (@JamieFoxtonUK) January 26, 2014
@TSB Yer Cheers!! just left the shopping at counter #embarrassing.— jason hill (@jasehill) January 26, 2014
TSB chief executive Paul Pester said in a tweet: "My apologies to TSB customers having problems with their cards. I'm working hard with my team now to try to fix the problems."
A Lloyds Banking Group spokeswoman said: "We are aware that some customers are unable to use their debit cards either to make purchases or to withdraw money from ATMs. We are working hard to resolve this as swiftly as possible and apologise for any inconvenience caused."
The glitch is the latest technology meltdown for the UK's high street banks.
Last month, all of RBS and NatWest's systems went down for three hours on one of the busiest shopping days of the year.
A Lloyds Banking Group spokeswoman said later that the problems had been resolved.
Online and telephone banking were unaffected by these issues, and customers were still able to withdraw cash from other ATMs.
