Financial stability
Not sure how to lead into this gently, so I'll just hop right in: I finally cleared bankruptcy in December of last year. Hoping that I could finally set down some real roots, I contacted a mortgage broker about getting pre-approval for a house. Unfortunately, because of the abuse of subprime loans - which were originally designed for cases such as mine - no lender will so much as glance in my direction for at least two more years.
I want to be a good provider. I want to be able to take care of whatever family God may grant me.
Should I put off searching for two more years until I can be the provider I feel that I should be? As I approach my 37th birthday, I worry more and more that I'm either not doing enough to find the woman God has chosen for me, or that I'm trying too hard, or that I'm looking in the wrong places. How can I know if I should be searching or not?

This is the perfect place to explore the beauty and marvelous intricacy of the natural world.
Included in this exceptional Costa Rica family vacation are several special opportunities for behind-the-scenes access and exclusive tours and activities, such as:

He went to space seven times with NASA before retiring and coming back to Costa Rica. One of the scientists at Ad Astra Rocket will give your family a tour of the facility and explain what they are working on—at this time, a plasma engine to take rockets more cheaply and quickly to outer space. Tour not available in December.
Work with a local school on a community project. Visit a local school, where the group takes part in a half day service project. (The exact nature of the project will depend on the number of participants and the needs of the school and community at the time of your visit.)

BOZEMAN DEACONESS HEALTH SERVICES RECOGNIZED BY HEALTHGRADESOCTOBER 23, 2013 Bozeman Deaconess Health Services today announced that it has received the Healthgrades Pulmonary Care Excellence Award for 2014 and has been recognized by Healthgrades for clinical excellence in Orthopedic, Pulmonary and Gastrointestinal Care. Bozeman Deaconess is currently the only hospital in Montana to receive the2013 Healthgrades Outstanding Patient Experience Award.Bozeman Deaconess Health Services was ranked among the top 15% in the nation for Outstanding Patient Experience in 2013 and ranked among the top 5% in the nation for Overall Pulmonary Services for 2014. BDHS was named a Five-Star recipient for Total Knee Replacement for three years in a row (2012-2014), and was recognized for the first time as a Five-Star recipient for treatment of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, Pneumonia and GI Bleed for 2014. "Receiving these awards from Healthgrades, both those we've had the honor of earning in previous years and those we achieved for the first time this year, illustrates our system-wide dedication to clinical quality and patient care," said Kevin Pitzer, President and CEO of Bozeman Deaconess Health Services. "They recognize the continuous commitment of all our employees and medical staff and validate our commitment be a "high reliability" health care system which is reflected by our investments in processes and new technology, and our leadership commitment." Healthgrades, the leading online resource that helps consumers search, compare and connect with physicians and hospitals, announced this achievement in American Hospital Quality Outcomes 2014: Healthgrades Report to the Nation, which evaluates hospital performance at over 4,500 hospitals nationwide for 31 of the most common inpatient procedures and conditions. A Five-Star rating indicates that Bozeman Deaconess Health Services' clinical outcomes are better than expected when treating the condition or conducting the procedure being evaluated. BDHS not only performs at a Five-Star level, it outperforms other hospitals in the nation in Pulmonary Care, and as a result has been recognized with the 2014 Healthgrades Pulmonary Care Award. Bozeman Deaconess Health Services' achievements for 2014 include: • Recipient of the Healthgrades Pulmonary Care Excellence Award™ in 2014 • Ranked Among the Top 5% in the Nation for Overall Pulmonary Services in 2014 • Five-Star Recipient for Total Knee Replacement for 3 Years in a Row (2012-2014) • Five-Star Recipient for Treatment of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease in 2014 • Five-Star Recipient for Treatment of Pneumonia in 2014 • Five-Star Recipient for Treatment of GI Bleed in 2014 • Recipient of the Healthgrades Outstanding Patient Experience Award™ in 2013 • Ranked Among the Top 15% in the Nation for Outstanding Patient Experience in 2013 "As American policy-makers focus more intently on ways to lower healthcare costs and improve quality, patients are being asked to assume more responsibility for their healthcare decisions – from selection of their health plan to the associated network of physicians and hospitals," said Evan Marks, EVP, Strategy and Informatics at Healthgrades. "Since all hospitals do not perform equally in all procedures, patients can have confidence that by selecting a physician associated with a hospital that has achieved recognition by Healthgrades, they can potentially improve outcomes and reduce costs."

It's a delight and simultaneous feeling of liberation to finally announce the release of Crass' Christ, The Album LP reissue, which is now available for pre-order on the Southern web shop.
Released in 1982 with unplanned irony as the Falklands War raged on, Christ, The Album, another double vinyl half-studio/half-live release, once again aimed to take no prisoners. It's controversial and boundary pushing style has been at the crux of critic and fan discussions for the years that followed, but admittedly received unquestionable respect and admiration. Harry Sword phrases it best: "Christ, The Album is too good for the TV punk documentaries, that's why it's still relevant and dangerous now." Read his thoughts as the album marks it's 30th year in the sonic ether.
"By 1981 Crass had been in existence for four tempestuous years. In that time we'd encouraged punk to grow from being no more than just another 'great rock'n'roll swindle' into a genuine movement for change. Anarchy had been rescued from the dusty libraries of academia and the equally dusty dreams of barstool bullshitters to become the catchword for a whole new generation of streetwise activists." – Penny Rimbaud
Cut to new lacquers at Abbey Road studios from the untouched original analogue vinyl master, this double LP comes with the original book ("A Series Of Shock Slogans And Mindless Token Tantrums"), original poster and the addition of a download card giving you free access to an mp3 download of the album. All of the original tracks remain intact, including recording of their 1981 summer gig at the 100 Club in London, as well as other studio tracks, demos, radio broadcasts and cassette recordings, leaving no Crass gem unturned.
Available to pre-order from the Southern web shop now.

Army reiterates ban on waterboarding
By Pamela Hess - The Associated Press
Posted : Tuesday Nov 13, 2007 20:13:26 EST
WASHINGTON — With Congress' approval of a new attorney general who refused to describe waterboarding as torture, the Army has sent out a message to its leaders repeating that the interrogation technique is prohibited in the military.
The service issued the Nov. 6 message "to eliminate any confusion that may have arisen as a result of recent public discourse on the subject."
The U.S. military formally banned waterboarding as an interrogation technique in September 2006.
However, at Senate confirmation hearings last month, then-attorney general nominee Michael Mukasey repeatedly refused to say whether he considers waterboarding a form of torture, as claimed by an unlikely coalition of military officials, doctors and human rights groups.
Waterboarding is a technique that involves strapping down a prisoner, covering his mouth with plastic or cloth and pouring water over his face. The prisoner quickly begins to inhale water, causing the sensation of drowning.
The Army issued a "strategic communication hot topic" alert to its senior leaders two days before the Senate confirmed Mukasey, asking them to make sure every soldier, family member and Army civilian employee understands the ban on waterboarding. Mukasey was sworn in Nov. 9.
"The U.S. Army strictly prohibits the use of waterboarding during intelligence investigations by any of its members. It is specifically prohibited by Field Manual 2-22.3 and is not a sanctioned interrogation technique in any training manual or any instructions to soldiers in the field," the statement says.
Mukasey's refusal to define waterboarding as torture came in response to senators' questions about the CIA's alleged use of the technique. It is believed the CIA used the technique on three prisoners, the last time in 2003. Air Force Gen. Michael Hayden, director of the CIA, prohibited the use of waterboarding in CIA interrogations in 2006.
If Mukasey confirmed that waterboarding is torture, it could have put the CIA interrogators and possibly the chain of command above them in legal peril. Torture is illegal both under U.S. and international law.
Defense Secretary Robert Gates reiterated the military ban at a press conference on Nov. 1.
"The fact is, it's not a permitted technique under the Army Field Manual, and therefore, no member of the U.S. military is allowed to do it, period," he said.
Gates would not say whether he believes the banned technique amounts to torture.
"I am not going to wander into that legal thicket," he said.

Interrelationship Digraph
updated Mar 29, 2011 1:56 am | 7,441 views
An interrelationship digraph is a visual display which maps out the cause and effect links among complex, multivariable problems or desired outcomes. It can be utilized to examine specific issues or general organizational concerns and problems when it is difficult to identify the interrelationships between the concepts and it is unclear if the issue is the problem or the solution. It is also known as a "relations diagram." There are many situations in life where one cannot agree on what the critical issues one should track. If this is the confusion which is prevailing then the interrelationship digraph could be just the tool you need to move beyond that stage. The ID offers many benefits:
After identifying a variety of solutions for removing barriers that might interfere with your plan, it is quite often very difficult to know where to begin. The Interrelationship Digraph can help you to determine which solution to tackle first. Here's a step-by-step explanation on how to use it.

I love that little bird print.
I'm so pleased with how it turned out! It was a quick and satisfying project so that I think I'll make some more soon. This is one of those projects where you piece the strips right to the batting and back. I then quilted a few more lines before binding while I watched American Idol.
So easy!
I also like this back. I've had this for a few years now. Happy to finally put it to use.
While I was taking pictures I also discovered this new addition to my table. I think this is thanks to the 2 1/2-year-old boy who lives in our house. Scrubbed it a bunch, but it's not showing any signs of fading anytime soon. It's moments like this that I remind myself, "This is why I didn't buy my table from the Pottery Barn." We'll be sticking with this cheap beauty for a few more years at least.
I've been surprisingly bloggy this week. I guess that's possible when you don't have a child with a birthday, class report/project, or major illness that week. And you pretend the pile of socks that desperately needs to be sorted doesn't exist.
Update: Here is a cute quilted bag giveaway at a new-to-me blog: GreenFairyQuilts. Plus more Shangri-La fabric. (I love that collection!) Check it out!

quote:Keep and/or buy those late first-round picks. A ridiculous number of good to very good players come out of that range. Jrue Holiday, Ty Lawson and Jeff Teague went back-to-back-to-back from Nos. 17-19 in 2009. Taj Gibson went No. 26 that year. You had Bradley, Bledsoe, Seraphin, Trevor Booker and Vasquez outside the lottery in 2010. Kawhi Leonard (who I'd call a star on his rookie deal at this point), Iman Shumpert and Faried were outside the lottery in 2011. There is almost nothing to justify trading away a late first-round pick for cash. If you're doing that, you're being shortsighted or you lack faith in your scouts to find the right gem. We can almost guarantee the gem exists. You just need to find it. And no team is 15-deep with talent. You can make a roster spot.
quote:Why are these players so valuable, anyways? Because their low-cost production allow you to overpay in other areas. The Rockets would probably prefer to pay Jeremy Lin and Omer Asik less. But having Parsons under contract through 2015 for such a cheap price allowed Daryl Morey to splurge a little on critical positions. For a capped-out team like the Celtics, having blue chippers like Bradley and Sullinger allows the roster to remain competitive without breaking into the $80 million level. It's just like anything else. If you have a cheap mortgage, you can afford a higher car payment. A guy like Eric Bledsoe is like a screaming deal on an apartment. You don't want to give that up unless you're getting something really great in exchange
quote:4- Ziller uses Beaubois to make the point that teams should look to deal these players when the value is high. I don't agree with that philosophy in NO right now. Even if they did want to move Vasquez for a bigger fish, they have no large contracts on the roster to make it work.
quote:hope we have good scouts. any information on them?
quote:no clue. but at least they have a real scouting department now, which is more than could be said during Shinn/Bower years.
quote:Moving Vasquez for Jennings at 8 figures seems like a bad move for NO.
quote:Exactly, between those two, I don't see how the ball would ever funnel to anyone else, except on a drive and dish.
quote:i agree...don't like the Jennings/Gordon fit
quote:small backcourt, too.
quote:Yea, you don't really see Gordon getting pushed around, but its nice to have Vasquez so that Gordon can take the smaller guard. Also, what is Jennings considered on the defensive end? A plus, a minus, or push? I've really never watched him closely on that end.
quote:7th in the league in steals per game

I bought this wristlet awhile back and still get compliments on it every time I use it. I bought it in a coral color they used to have and it perfect for summer and spring. I can fit my phone, a few cards, receipts and lip gloss in it! I love all the different compartments as it is still easy for you to have your stuff in there organized if that's as important to you as it is for me.

Richard Whittington, MD
Last Modified: November 1, 2001
Dear OncoLink "Ask the Experts,"
My mother, who is 84 years old, was recently diagnosed with rectal cancer. The tumor is a flat malignancy that is attached to the back wall of her rectum. All test results show that the cancer has not spread, and is only isolated to the rectal wall. Her current surgeons see no alternative but to remove the tumor and perform a colostomy. The surgeon mentioned that the surgery was needed because the tumor had grown into the sphincter muscle.
In your opinion do you believe there is a viable alternative to this radical procedure? Possibly using radiation therapy...I believe I heard about using a radioactive isotope the size of a kernel of rice, which is inserted directly into the tumor. Or do you feel that another form of therapy could be used? Your input here would be greatly appreciated!
Richard Whittington, MD, Associate Professor of Radiation Oncology at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, responds:
Dear KPF,
This is an unfortunate problem. Although we cannot comment on your mother's specific case, assuming that the staging information you have presented is correct and complete, the current literature reflects that the most common tumors of the rectum (adenocarcinomas) do not respond well to radiation alone.
The best that can be accomplished with modern radiation is to control about 25% of these tumors when surgery is omitted. Lower doses of radiation may be used with chemotherapy if the entire tumor can be locally excised (scooped out) with negative margins, and the cure rate is about 99%, with 90% avoiding a colostomy.
Unfortunately, when the tumor invades the sphincter muscle, the muscle usually doesn't work very well after the surgical excision. There is a less common tumor that occurs primarily in elderly women (which may be called an anal canal squamous cell tumor, basaloid squamous carcinoma of the rectum, transitional cell carcinoma of the rectum, or a cloacogenic carcinoma). This is exquisitely sensitive to the effects of radiation and chemotherapy. The control rate is about 90% with this treatment and it does not require a colostomy.
Surgery is possible and will control the tumor in the remaining patients and does require a colostomy, but still most people avoid it. It is also possible to do the surgery first which always requires a colostomy, and while this is an accepted treatment, most people still require radiation and chemotherapy afterwards and the results are the same as the radiation-chemo program. The NIH rejected a randomized trial of surgery first vs. radiation first as they felt it wasn't ethical to randomize 1/2 of the patients to a mandatory colostomy. Hopefully, your mother has a squamous/basaloid/transitional/cloacogenic carcinoma. Please speto her physician about the options.
Nov 1, 2010 - Radiation therapy appears to reduce recurrence rates when added to surgical treatment of rectal cancer and to increase survival when added to medical management of prostate cancer, and a highly targeted radiation approach may reduce gastrointestinal complications associated with prostate cancer treatment, according to three studies to be presented at the annual meeting of the American Society for Radiation Oncology, held from Oct. 31 to Nov. 4 in San Diego.

Student Reflections
"Our leaders got us to play a few quick games that first day, and over the course of the next five days we learned many more, like the "human knot" and others. Each game was fun, but it was more than that. Each game taught us who we are or where we stand or how we deal with tricky situations in terms of leadership. With each game I gained more confidence to speak out, which is something I can hopefully continue improving over the course of my life. That's what the annual grade 8 and 9 trip to strathcona is about. Learning about who you are without technology and becoming a leader."

Roses, chocolates and ... a financial plan?
Blog Entry:
February 14, 2013 4:30 AM | Author: RYAN OLDS
Ryan Olds
Ryan Olds is a partner with Cedar Brook Financial Partners.
It's a tradition for people to shower their special someone with flowers, chocolates and a romantic dinner on Valentine's Day. Why do we go to all this trouble? To demonstrate our love and show we care.
But what really shows a loved one you care is a thoughtfully developed financial plan.
A couple's finances are often a major point of contention as it's common for one partner to act as the CFO with most of the financial decision making falling solely on their shoulders. Businesses typically have regular meetings to discuss financial statements and set short term and long term goals. So why not do your loved one a favor and plan a special get together to discuss your family's finances?
Here's a guide for that discussion:
1. Budget – probably the most controversial subjects and also the most important. Don't make it too complicated, just pick a prior month and determine what came in and what went out. If you're in the red at the end of the month, then you need to determine what can be cut from your expenditures. We all have more control over what we spend than what we earn so focus on how you're allocating your funds.
2. Savings and investments – people view money differently so it's important to respect each other's risk tolerance. If you're loved one is very conservative and you're very aggressive, it's advisable to invest your own accounts separately and have a balanced approach with any joint investments.
3. Insurance and estate plan – it's never a fun conversation to talk about the potential for one or both of you to become sick, injured, or even die. However, it's an important conversation to have to ensure that you and your family are protected for the "what ifs" in life. Talk openly about what concerns you and what you want your legacy to be when you're gone.
Just like any business, I believe regular meetings to discuss your finances are crucial to your family's financial success so schedule that meeting and don't forget the flowers and chocolates.

Roger Waters Accused Of New Anti-Semitic Sentiments
Monday, July 29, 2013
Roger Waters, an outspoken supporter of Palestine, is once again in hot water with various Jewish and pro-Israeli groups. Ultimate Classic Rock reported that the Simon Wiesenthal Center has taken umbrage with one of the graphics shown on the infamous inflatable pig used during Waters' July 18th performance of The Wall in Werchter, Belgium. Included among the various "symbols of fascism and oppression" shown on the pig during "In The Flesh" and "Run Like Hell" was the Star of David -- which is one of the most coveted symbols of Judaism, along with being the centerpiece of the Israeli flag. The hindquarters of the pig also clearly featured the silhouette of a man giving a Nazi salute.
Rabbi Abraham Cooper, the Associate Dean of the Wiesenthal Center, told the Jewish newspaper, The Algemeiner: "With this disgusting display Roger Waters has made it crystal clear. Forget Israel, never mind 'limited boycotts promoting Middle East Peace.' Waters is an open hater of Jews. The video (of the performance) is beyond shocking. The only books this bigot should be getting should be with the Mullahs in Iran and the Muslim Brotherhood. . . The Simon Wiesenthal Center urges other entertainers to denounce his anti-Semitism and bigotry."
Waters fan Alon Onfus Asif -- an Israeli citizen living in Belgium -- spoke about his reaction to the symbols on the pig, which was first featured -- without any markings -- on Pink Floyd's 1977 album, Animals, and debuted in concert during that year's shows. Asif told Israel's Yediot Ahronot, "I came to the concert because I really like his music, without any connection to his political stance toward Israel. And I had a lot of fun, until I noticed the Star of David, on the inflatable pig. That was the only religious-national symbol, which appeared among other symbols for fascism, dictatorships and oppression of people. Waters crossed the line and gave expression to an anti-Semitic message, beyond all his messages of anti-militancy."
Before Roger Waters started planning the initial gigs for the new version of The Wall, he wracked his brain to try to devise a method for the piece to cover more and different ground than the original 1979 tale of personal alienation and doom: "Could the piece be developed to describe a broader, more universal condition than we did in 1980 and I did in 1990 in Berlin? So, I started to think about it more and more and I suddenly had a few more ideas and I thought, 'Maybe if we did this with this song and that with that song, we could achieve that.' And so I started jotting few things down on paper and eventually I said, 'Y'know what, I think I'm going to do this.'"
