United left red faced after Leeds live the dream
Beckford 19
THE phrase "living the dream" has been used to mock Leeds United as they tumbled through the divisions, but for the men in white who greeted the final whistle and the 9,000 who had travelled from Yorkshire to witness it, there can be no better description.
It is one of football's great ironies that the club that almost bankrupted itself to compete against Manchester United – and justified their spending with the boast that they had lived the dream – should finally overcome their great rivals in their own temple once they had tumbled into the third tier of English football.
Not even in 1974, when the players marshalled by Don Revie steamrollered their way to the championship and an ageing, ruined Manchester United were relegated, has there been such a chasm between the two clubs. And those who jammed the away end knew it, chanting with rare self-deprecation: "We're not famous any more".
And yet the home-grown men like Richard Naylor and Jonathan Howson, managed by a Yorkshire boy in Simon Grayson, did something achieved by neither the well-drilled teams of Howard Wilkinson nor the sides assembled at ruinous expense under Peter Ridsdale. They came to Old Trafford and won.
Moreover, they deserved to. Alex Ferguson's only quibble about his first defeat at this stage of the FA Cup was the amount of stoppage time. Jermaine Beckford, who in 2004, the year Leeds were relegated from the Premier League, mixed playing for Wealdstone in the Isthmian League with working for the RAC, might have scored three times. Robert Snodgrass's free-kick struck the crossbar and even in the final moments when Casper Ankergren blocked Wayne Rooney's drive, Michael Doyle calmly played the ball out of defence rather than hoofing it upfield. This was not a victory against the grain.
"It has been a fantastic achievement," reflected Grayson, who described the day as on a par with winning promotion with Blackpool at Wembley. "Our club has endured a lot of negativity over the past five or six years with administration and relegation. I said when I first came to the club that it had reached rock bottom and could not go any lower.
"Our fans have deserved this result, not because we have taken 9,000 to Old Trafford; we have taken 4,000 to Bristol Rovers on a Tuesday night. Our fans have backed us when they had excuses not to. They could have downed tools and concluded that football is an expensive business. This is a result for them."
Those supporters would not have wanted to be patronised, to be told they had done well by competing for an hour. However, by 60 minutes they seemed exhausted by their efforts before somehow, and from somewhere, discovering a second wind.
With a dozen minutes remaining, Beckford was put clear on goal but directed his shot just wide of Tomasz Kuszczak's post and both he and his manager threw their hands to their heads, contemplating the potential cost of the miss. As if to emphasise it, Snodgrass, who had not been fit enough to start, struck the frame of the United goal but, despite some furious appeals for a penalty when Michael Owen tumbled rather too easily in the box, the kings of the last-minute comeback never seriously threatened.
As the match opened, the Stretford End unfurled a banner featuring a portrait of Eric Cantona and words "Thanks a million", referring to the ludicrously-cheap fee United paid to take the Frenchman across the Pennines. Ferguson referred to Cantona as "the can-opener" for his ability to rip through defences but, an off-key Wayne Rooney apart, he possessed no similar weapons.
Off-key he may have been, but Rooney remained his side's greatest threat. Played through in a rare incisive intervention by Dimitar Berbatov, Rooney advanced on goal but his shot, half-blocked by Ankergren, was shovelled off the line by Jason Crowe.
After almost a decade of Peter Schmeichel, Old Trafford should know all about Danish keepers and, although Grayson remarked that Ankergren was "not exactly peppered with shots", the Dane did everything asked of him, including blocking Danny Welbeck's drive with his knee.
If they were insipid in attack, Manchester United were, to use their manager's own adjective, "shocking" defensively. Apart from one vintage tackle on Doyle, Gary Neville was a shadow of the great player who has graced Old Trafford and took out his frustration with a volley of abuse against the visiting manager. Wes Brown, booked early on, seemed to be doing his best to get himself sent off.
Nemanja Vidic did not even appear, despite being named on the teamsheet, and Ferguson seemed unwilling to dwell on the Serb's explanation that he was not fit enough to play. The majority of the Leeds attacks came down the United left, patrolled by the unfamiliar combination of Welbeck and Fabio da Silva.
The goal came straight down the middle, like a Nicklaus one-iron, propelled by Howson and chased by Beckford and Brown. The man in white got there first and slid his shot from an acute angle between defender and goalkeeper. Kuszczak may have come too early but with more than 70 minutes remaining, United's task did not appear especially daunting.
However, as the minutes drifted by and Ferguson threw on his great talisman Ryan Giggs, a man old enough to recall the pain of 1992 when Leeds overhauled Manchester United to seize the title, an equaliser appeared ever less likely. Yorkshire voices suddenly began singing about Wembley, a venue which in recent years for Leeds has come to be associated with the Johnstone's Paint Trophy rather than the FA Cup.
Manchester United (4-4-2): Kuszczak; Neville, Brown, Evans, F.Da Silva; Obertan (Giggs, 57), Gibson, Anderson (Owen, 69), Welbeck (Valencia, 57); Rooney, Berbatov. Substitutes not used: Amos (gk) Tosic, Carrick, R.Da Silva.

Last week, we talked about our goal to only use $100 to pay for all of our grocery expenses for the month of July, 2012. We're staying on track so far, but it's been tough!
Last Week's Expenses
During the first week of July, we spent only $15 on groceries, actually staying below our $20 minimum! Here are the basics of our grocery trip last week (which is still providing lunches and dinners via leftovers!):
- 10 lbs of Zucchini (hey, it was on sale for 50 cents a pound!)
- Iceberg Lettuce
- Tomatoes
- Celery
- Cabbage
- Green onions
- Brown onions
- Chicken thighs
- Coconut Milk
The chicken thighs and 10 lbs of zucchini cost about $5 each, but the rest of the veggies were around 50 cents each, which totaled into about $15. Our fridge was full to the brim, and our budget was shrunk with 5 dollars to spare, but what were we going to do with all this food?
Last Week's Menus
We ate lots of omelets, scrambles, curry, chef's salad, and chicken salad. The following day after our first grocery trip, I boiled the chicken. Once it was done cooking, I picked the meat off (for only 5 or 6 thighs, I had a huge mountain of meat which we were still eating on Monday of this week in the form of curry soup and chicken salad) and put some frozen onion, zucchini, and broccoli bits into the pot with the bones and boiled chicken water, cooked it for a few hours, and it turned into a delicious broth. I strained out the bones and bits, added coconut milk, curry seasonings, chopped onion and garlic, and a huge pile of grated zucchini. I let it cook for another half an hour before adding chopped chicken and putting it on the table for dinner. I used the rest of the chicken to sprinkle on salads with tomato and onion, and for chicken salad with celery and pickle.
Keep reading to see how we did this week!

Google and Tate Modern in London, released an online art experiment called "This Exquisite Forest," which lets you collaborate with others to create animations and stories using a web-based drawing tool.
Seven renowned artists from Tate's collection, including Bill Woodrow, Dryden Goodwin, Julian Opie, Mark Titchner, Miroslaw Balka, Olafur Eliasson and Raqib Shaw, have created short "seed" animations. From these seeds, "anyone can add new animations that extend the story or branch it in a new direction. Or you can start a tree of your own with some friends. As more sequences are added, the animations grow into trees, creating a potentially infinite number of possible endings to each animation," explains Aaron Koblin, Google Creative Lab, Data Arts Team.
This Exquisite Forest uses several of Google Chrome's advanced HTML5 and JavaScript features to produce a unique content creation and exploration experience. For example, "Web Audio API makes it possible for contributors to generate music to accompany their submissions. The project also runs on Google App Engine and Google Cloud Storage," explains Google.
In addition to the website, an interactive installation will open on July 23 in the Level 3 gallery of Tate Modern--will be on display as large-scale projections.

Zambolist "Zam" Fredrick I
ZUniversity of South Carolina in 1981. Although Fredrick played in Europe, he is best known in the United States for leading NCAA Division I in scoring as a senior in 1980–81 with a 28.9 points per game average.
Fredrick grew up in St. Matthews, South Carolina. He was a standout basketball player at the old St. Matthews High School, where he led the "Yellow Jackets" to back to back championships in 1975 and 1976.
Fredrick played college basketball at USC under head coaches Frank McGuire and Bill Foster between 1977 and 1981. The 781 total points he scored during his senior season is second all-time in school history to Grady Wallace's 906, who, coincidentally, also led the nation in scoring in 1956–57.
Despite being selected by the Los Angeles Lakers in the 1981 NBA Draft (third round, 51st overall), Fredrick never played in the league. After his decade-long professional career in Europe, he came back and coached high school basketball at Calhoun County High School (CCHS) in St. Matthews, South Carolina. Fredrick led CCHS to eight state championships and a winning streak of 81 games, which is a state record. His son, Zam Fredrick II, was a member of three of those. His son also scored a South Carolina state record 3,481 points and had played on the varsity team since 8th grade.Fredrick is married to Debra (Fordham) Fredrick and they have three children: Zambolist, II; Zandria; and Zamuel. He is the proud grandfather of three grandchildren: Zion, Zoe, and Zaria.

|How Republican Rule Destroyed the Legislative, Executive, and Judicial Branches
|John W. Dean.
|Maggiori informazioni
Former White House counsel John Dean has become one of the most trenchant and respected commentators on the current state of American politics. Here he takes the broadest and deepest view yet of the dysfunctional chaos and institutional damage that the Republican Party and its core conservatives have inflicted on the federal government. He assesses the state of all three branches of government, tracing their decline through the presidencies of Nixon, Ford, Reagan, Bush I, and Bush II. Unlike most political commentary, which is concerned with policy, Dean looks instead at process--making the case that the 2008 presidential race must confront these fundamental problems as well.--From publisher description.

Yoko Watanabe, (born July 12, 1953, Fukuoka, Japan—died July 15, 2004, Milan, Italy), Japanese opera singer who made her professional debut on the opera stage in 1978 and over the next 22 years became renowned for the intensity of her portrayals of the major heroines, most notably Cio-Cio-San in Puccini's Madama Butterfly. By the time she retired in 2000, she had starred at the world's top four opera houses—La Scala in Milan, the Vienna State Opera, the Royal Opera House at Covent Garden in London, and the Metropolitan Opera in New York City—the first Japanese soprano to do so.

5 Beauty Looks from Paris Couture Week That You Can Actually Wear
Find out how to recreate Paris Couture Week's coolest, sparkliest runway makeup.
Pinks and Metallics
Pink is pretty on its own, but when you add silver to the mix it gets a whole new party-girl vibe. That doesn't mean you have to save this look for a special occasion, though; be the person who wears metallic eyeshadow whether you're chilling at your friend's apartment or out dancing until 4am.
The Technique: Apply a shimmery light pink eyeshadow over your top eyelid, from lash line to crease. After you blend the color out towards your brow bone, line your upper and lower lash lines with a hot pink shade. Then, on your bottom lid, draw a silver line that's parallel to the hot pink, blending the metallic hue to create a hazy effect. Finish off the look with a coat of mascara.
Little MAC Pigment in Kitschmas by MAC, $10, macys.com.
Colorful Shadow and Liner in Call Girl, $14, sephora.com.
Bulletproof 24-Hour Liner in Silver Lining, $20, toofaced.com.
Gilded Arrows
Fan of winged liner? Take it two steps further with this geometric design that arches under the brow and frames the eye in one metallic fell swoop. The negative space paired with the silver and gold shimmer gives off a futuristic vibe—something you won't get from your traditional cat eye.
The Technique: For this look, pick an eyeliner or shadow in your favorite metallic shade. Starting at the outer corner of your eye, draw a diagonal line until the tip is parallel to the tip of your eyebrow. From that point, draw a curved line toward the inner eye that follows your unique brow bone shape. You can stop there, if you want! But if you need more gilded magic, line your top lid with another metallic shade, then swipe the color under the inner end of your brow.

Seeing Stars
It doesn't get much more minimalist than this! For nights when you're rushing out the door, this two-second trick will give you more dramatic results than 20 minutes with an eyeshadow pallette, guaranteed.
The Technique: There are two ways you can go about this simple look. Bring out the star-shaped gems or stickers and place them at the inner corners of your eyes. Or use a tattoo stamp (like the ones from Milk Makeup!).
Black Star Sequins, $2, firemountaingems.com.
Tattoo Stamp in Black Star, $12, milkmakeup.com.
No-Makeup Makeup
If you typically go for a bold lip or a smokey eye, take this barely-there beauty look out for a spin. Not only is it a timesaver, but you may be surprised by how liberating it can feel to leave the backup mascara and five different lip products at home for once.
The Technique: For an even complexion, apply a tinted moisturizer and dab a little concealer on any blemishes you want to cover up. Groom your brows to your desired shape and texture, then apply a moisturizing lip balm to your lips, brow bones, and cheekbones for a natural-looking glow. Then you're done! Easy, right?
Eyebrow Gel in Clear by Stiles, $4, target.com.
Dream Fresh BB, $9, maybelline.com.
Surreal Skin Argan Finish Balm by Josie Maran, $36, sephora.com.
Classic Cat Eyes
This beauty staple isn't going anywhere anytime soon. Pull it out when you need to channel your inner Brigitte Bardot.
The Technique: With a liquid liner, draw a fine line from the inner corner of your eye to the outer, extending it into a winged shape. Add as much depth to the line as you want, and clean up the shape with a cotton swab dipped in makeup remover. Finish off the eye with two coats of mascara and swipe on some neutral, rose-toned lipstick. For a night-out vibe, apply a layer of clear gloss to your lips.

As per mentioned in my previous Shoes.Of.The.Day segment, animal skins are all the rage on the catwalks these past few seasons. Another great example of an animal skin that is huge is the Leopard imprimé, which has made many appearances on different catwalks worldwide for the past few seasons now. As per mentioned previously here, Leopard was a strong Spring.2011 trend, and is as strong for Fall.2011.
Designers are using different textured combination (pony hair mixed with leather for instance) and mixing different colors to the traditional leopard imprimé (white black and brown for instance) in order to modernize the looks. The use of ornaments and wild colors are also newer design elements which give the leopard imprimé a newer dimension.
Lets see my favorites for Fall.2011:
Designers are pulling all the stops for you ladies using studs, tassels, fringing, sky-high heels and other design components to make you stand out. My personal favorite: the gorgeous Sam Edelman studded pumps. They are classic in shape but oh so wild in look. Swoon Ladies!
Guys are not to be forgotten when it comes to leopard so it seems as designers have integrated the pattern onto classic shapes (loafers and laced-up) as well as the for sportier types with high-top sneakers. My personal favorite: the Pierre Hardy high-top sneakers in that wild leopard imprimé with black trims. Sneakers that are unconventional and oh so delightful. I want them so bad!
Are you feeling the wild vibe?

thanks, everyone, for your loverly feedback!
No_aloha, I think I'll try ironing it, tis a good idea.
pastiche, there are no dumb questions in craftster! Every sequin has a hole in the middle, or sometimes a hole closer to the edge. There are a few ways to sew sequins on, but here's the one i used for this project: Thread your needle and tie a knot at the end, and just sew from underneath the fabric through the hole and then right next to the outside edge of the sequin, then through the center of the hole again from underneath the fabric, then sew through the other side of the sequin. If you're going to sew a bunch of sequins near each other, keep doing all those steps. When you're done you can tie it off and knot it right underneath one of the sequins. Voila!

from the computer. I can't find it anywhere then a few days
later it pops back up. I have tried replacing the cables and
checked to power and still the problem continues. I also tried
reinstalled the system and sometimes it works.
If anyone has any help it would be appreciated.

Eliminate Your Fear
July 15, 2009 | 21 Comments
I have a great opportunity to meet Keith last month. Now, you are probably wondering who Keith is.
If you read "Rich Dad, Poop Dad" by Robert Kiyosaki before, Keith is the Rich Dad in the book.
Yes! He is the one that taught Robert Kiyosaki about financial literacy.
I had an awesome conversation with him and of course I took this great opportunity take some photos with him and his wife.
After photoshoped
I learn a lot of things from him which then drove me to sign up for his coaching program and bought some of his material. I cost me a couple thousands of dollars but I think that it's cheap compare to the fantastic amount of great information which may cost me millions of dollars if I were to learn it all by myself.
Okay, enough about me
One of the things that I learn from him personally is a technique to overcome your fear, which I'm going to share it here today. Although he used investing as an example, this technique is applicable for all kinds of fear in your life.
You can use this technique to eliminate the fear of public speaking, starting out a business, make an appointment, dating, literally anything!
This technique is so simple that anyone can do it. All you have to do is just to ask yourself
"Then what?"
Continuously and come out with an answer.
Let me demonstrate it.
Let's say I want to ask a girl out for a date but the question that's playing in my head is, what if she says no.
"Then what?"
Then, I'll ask for the reason.
"Then what?"
(Let's say the reason is because she don't feel like going out with me)
Then, I'll ask some of her close friends why she feels that way and what kind of person she likes to hang out with (due diligence)
"Then what?"
(Let's assume that the reason is because she doesn't like the smell of my cologne and my timid character)
Then, I'll change the cologne or going out without cologne and change a little bit of my character.
"Then what?"
Then, she'll go out with me.
"Then what?"
What if everything fails?
"Then what?"
Probably we're not meant to be together.
"Then what?"
Find another girl that I resonate with. Maybe god wants to give me a better one. Who knows?
If you ask "Then what?" continuously, you'll discover that most of the time, you don't have to die by trying something new and you have nothing to lose.
Often times, we lose even more by not trying it.
Disclaimer: The above is just an example and it does not reflect my social life at all.
If you have a copy of mind movies, you can use it to eliminate your fear too by creating a mind movie that shows how brave you are in handling your life challenges. If you do not have it yet, get your mind movie software here.
Law of Attraction says that we attract what we think and feel. Imagine what you are attracting if you think and feel those stuffs that fears you. Better to nip the bud before it emerges into a big monster. Let me know what you think about this technique. I read every comment.

If you're new to Windows 7, you probably have just realized there is no email client pre-installed in the Operating System. If you use Outlook Express or Windows Mail, you will need to upgrade to the new Windows Live Mail. Once you download Windows Live Mail, you will be able to import your old email into it, so make sure you export your email and contacts from Outlook Express or Windows Mail.
So what exactly is Windows Live Mail? Windows Live Mail is a Desktop client you download that allows you to retrieve your email from any computer you have it installed on. So if you use it at the office, you can go home and access that same email system when you get home. Windows Live Mail allows you to work offline, and once online it will download new email and send any messages you have in your outbox.
Windows Live Mail is part of Windows Live Essentials, which includes other popular Live programs such as Messenger, Movie Maker and Photo Gallery. These Essentials are part of Microsoft's cloud computing initiative, and as with Windows Live mail, allows your documents to be retrieved from any computer anywhere in the world.
Additional benefits to using the Windows Live Email system is that you'll be able to access other online email accounts such as Gmail, Hotmail or Yahoo! Mail. It also makes it easy to send pictures. For instance, when you send images to a friend it will only send a small thumbnail. If they click the thumbnail, they will then get the full resolution version. These features all make Windows Live Mail a great desktop client with the convenience of an online service. If you're interested in syncing your calendar, contacts and email, then give Windows Live Mail a try.

L-3 Is Active on CEO's Death; Cox Seeks Penny-Quoting Test

The Season of love
I love the holiday season. There is a a feeling of being closer to the spirit. I think it is because there is more focus on charity. We are more giving of our time and money. I think that the gift of time ,of our selves is the most rewarding. I know we should do it all year around but Christmas brings it out of us a little bit more. Heavenly father gave us the great es gift of all. His only begotten son and when I think about that I am over whelmed with a feeling of love and thanks and I want to pass it on.

Life's struggles
I know that life on this planet requires obstacles for us to learn and grow. I also know that I will be a better person for them and that it is in heavenly fathers plan but some times I fell so overwhelmed. My back pain seems to take over my life. I find a lot of time I would rather sleep stay in oblivion then face the new day. I see the strain it puts on my family and I feel as if I'm giving them a great burden. Some times it hurts so bad that I want to tell every one, I want to explain how it feels I want them to really know how my life is. If I tell my children they worrie and it eats at me. When I tell Joe I feel he can't understand and I add to his troubles and frustrations. Alto of time I say nothing. I feel so alone. I fear where this is going I fear the growth of more and more pain and the possibility of restricted movement and disformaties. I don't want to live off of pain pills. right now I hurt I know I'll have another sleepless night. I'll toss and turn seeking relief. I'll take pills they help but make me jittery and itchy .The time will slip by one o'clock three and then five. then my body gives up I sleep only to wake up to get the kids off to school. I know it will pass I'll get a few good days but they seem to come less often. I know there are people with more pain and troubles and Heavenly father wouldn't give me more then I can deal with. I know he loves me. sometimes I just get selfish and want peace now. I love my family and I know that love me.I'm great full for the blessings I have. I will try to show it more.

Isn't there a company that allows you to design t-shirts?? You could design a whole batch of originals. CafePress I think (not sure tho) is set up for it. They have a forum here if you want to check it out. Wow..an entire site dedicated to flatulence... oh well.. whatever blows your skirt up! (so to speak...)

I think that stupid.com (through SAS) has a few things that would fit perfectly with a fart site .... like butt face soap, pooping penguin - rabbit or piggy candy, a fanny bank that toots when you drop change in, toilet bowl lip gloss ... and a few other things that are sure to fit well.

Speaking of Farts.
People just love to Fart in Public now a days.
I had a early flight from JFK to LAX and I was chilling in the Admirals club when they announce first class is bording so I get up and start to head for the gate. there is a man about 10 feet in front of me and while he was walking I hear "POP POP POOOOP POP" at first I am like is it his shoe? Then a few seconds later the same thing. I in my New York loud voice I said DUDE DID YOU JUST FART he turned around his face was red and he just walked away faster. Sad thing is the dude freaken was sitting in front of me the entire flight to LA. Thankfully he did not fart.
Then on my flight from LAX to SEA when I arrived in SEA i went to the potty at the baggage claim and I am in the middle. the dude next to me farts. I look to the guy to my left and say. Did this dude just fart and we both started to laugh.
May 17th, 2006, 04:04 PM #25

lol, originally form Dracut MA currently out of pelham NH. hahah id love to have that truck too...
Very nice setup! One question though, in the first pick there is no house on top of the hill. Then in another pic the house is there. Was it just built next to the shop?
one with no house is photoshoped to take the house out.. the shop is behind the house as in the second photo
Love the stuff man. I hope to be where you are when I am 18.
gotta ask....how did you do the thing to make it like the strobes are lighting up? I think that's reallly really cool!!!!
GREAT looking setup there, must be fun!
some animation software to make the actual hideaway stobes lok liek there on... its a crappy job ive made nicer more acurate
do you guys really have hide-aways in all of the clearance lights, that must cost a little bit...nice set-up thats freaking amazing, but i must say i dont think id ever like to own anything that big, thinking about it it wouodl be nice to have all that stuff, but i think 3/4 trucks 80 lawns a wk is where i stop...but any-how must be fun working there with all that stuff, makes me want to quite me OP and go work for someone like that..lol proubly make more...good luck and have fun with them!
yea the pick ups have 2 strobes in the head lights 4 in the clearence lights 4 in the work/brake light above rear windo, and 4 in the tail lights. the 550 is the same but have 6 oval strobes on the body in back, and the freightliner has 4 in clearence lights a 2 on the dump body.
Those trucks have that many hide away strobes?
I thought some of those things that look like flashes were snow flakes because know Pro-Turf has had this animated falling snow flake thing on his website for awhile.
nope, the pick ups have liek 12 - 14 the 550 dump truck has 12 and the freightliner has 6.... all the photos with the strobes are animated... i made tham.... the real ones have variable patterns and arn't snowflakes.

Sandi Thom
World Cafe Live Philadelphia - Upstairs
3025 Walnut Street
Philadelphia, PA, 19104
Doors 7:00 PM / Show 8:00 PM
This event is all ages
Sandi Thom
Sandi Thom is not who you think she is.
For a while most people still recalled her as the precocious next-generation talent that produced one of the defining hits of the internet age, 'I Wish I Was A Punk Rock (With Flowers In My Hair)', this talented singer-songwriter has come a long way in the years since then.
As Sandi now says, "The strange thing about having the kind of success I had, people think they know you. In fact, people don't know me at all."
That is all about to change, however, with the release of Sandi's superb new album, Flesh and Blood. Recorded at Nashville's legendary 16 Tons studio, with celebrated Black Crowes guitarist Rich Robinson in the production hot seat, the fourth Sandi Thom album is, she says, "the first album I've made that is really all about me."
$15 + Processing Fees
All Upstairs tickets are General Admission. Dining is available at World Cafe Live. Reservations are accepted for Upstairs Live, our full service restaurant; we recommend scheduling a reservation time 1½ to 2 hours before show time. For more information and to see menus, please read the Restaurant Info and Dining FAQ.
WHEELCHAIR ACCESSIBLE SEATS are located on all seated levels of this theatre. For more information, please contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com or call 215-222-1400.

Karl Marx wrote, "History repeats … first as tragedy, then as farce." Nothing better describes how California, with its unmatched natural and human riches, has begun to morph into what the premier California historian Kevin Starr has called "a failed state" – a term more usually applied to African kleptocracies than a place as blessed as the Golden State.
The tragedy begins with the collapse of a governance system once widely hailed as a leader in efficiency and foresight but which now perpetually teeters at the brink of insolvency and suffers among the worst credit ratings of all the states. Only 20 years ago, the state's fiscal debt per capita was just below the national average; now it ranks consistently toward the bottom No surprise, then, that California routinely ranked as the "worst governed" state in America.

Unexplained weight loss
Patient : I have unexplained weight loss. I had a terrible stomach virus in September 2014 that put me in the hospital for 6 days. I had severe nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. Since that time I have gone from 253 pounds to 210 pounds. I don't mind loosing weight but I am not trying. Since then I have had some mild diarrhea but in the last three weeks I have constipation which I have never had a problem with. I also have developed severe hip pain.
Symptoms: Unexplained weight loss from 253 to 210, hip pain, constipation, dry skin, dry mouth. After I eat I usually get bloated in my lower abdomen.
Doctor : Thank you for your question. The weight loss that you have experienced could be due to the illness you experienced in Se ptember along with your continued diarrhea. If you are continuing to experience diarrhea, you can become dehydrated and have electrolyte imbalances which can lead to confusion, shortness of breath, and heart palpitations. We recommend that you follow up with your doctor to be reevaluated for these symptoms. It is possible that you are suffering from a chronic inflammatory bowel conditions or your infection is still present. Both of these need to be promptly treated to alleviate your symptoms. Furthermore, it would be wise to have a colonoscopy performed to rule out gastrointestinal cancer as a cause of your over 40 pound weight loss. Please be guided accordingly. Thank you for consulting AskTheDoctor.com

Turf n' Surf
Ireland: Sligo
Nice lodge right in front of a high quality wave in a beautiful seaside town with self-catering houses available in this totally underrated surf destination.
"Right in front of the Atlantic Ocean on Ireland's coast"
Surfers looking for a surf camp option which places them right in front of what is generally accepted as Ireland's most consistent and best quality reef break may find the Turf 'n' Surf a good match. Here you will be overlooking the surf spot known as The Peak – a reef producing A-frame lefts and hollow rights. This nice lodge is situated in a beautiful seaside town, right in front of the Atlantic Ocean in Ireland's north-west corner of Donegal Bay. While a guest of Turf 'n' Surf you will be accommodated in one of several different rooms of the lodge each offering en-suite facilities. There are also self-catering houses available for those travelling in a group which gives you time flexibility and greater control of your own schedule.
"Looking for big wave walls or an emphasis on fun surf"
As previously mentioned the advanced-surfers-only option of The Peak is right in front of you from your Turf 'n' Surf base but there are also many other spots in walking and driving distance if you want a break from the challenges of The Peak or just fancy a change of scenery. Ireland is blessed with lots of gems of the wave riding kind and whether you are looking for big wave walls for super thrills or something less adrenalin fuelled with an emphasis on fun, mellow and gentle, you will be spoiled for choice.
Ireland is a very much underrated surf destination which has nowhere near the recognition of France, Spain and Portugal despite the fact its coast is exposed to and receiving exactly the same swell as those more popular (and therefore crowded) surf Meccas. Ireland has world class waves although not everyone knows it - get in before the secret is out! There are all sorts of packages possible which cover your play time both in and out of the water. If you are looking for a European surf camp with a high quality peak right in front of you and a choice of gems ranging from fun and mellow to big and /or fast and hollow then Turf 'n' Surf would be a good choice.
5 reasons to choose Turf 'n' Surf:
- Nice lodge right in front of the ocean!

The Digital World and Medical Communicatons
Louise Lavelle and Phil Hall of Carrot Pharma Recruitment talk about how the digital world is influencing the traditional skill sets of medical communications.
What sector do you work in? (a bit of background)
Louise: We work in the Medical Communications and Medical Education team at Carrot Pharma Recruitment. We work predominantly with agencies who support pharmaceutical clients, and sometimes directly with pharmaceutical companies, to introduce scientific staff for their healthcare communication teams.
What kind of support work do these teams do?
Phil: These teams are typically made up of high science editorial people who enjoy creating content for various projects such as publications, manuscripts, articles, posters, abstracts, slide decks, advisory boards, symposia, congress, KOL meetings, investigator meetings and digital outputs (websites, apps, elearning). They sit alongside a client services or account management team who are often the main client liaison and are responsible for timelines, budgets, logistics, invoicing, proposals and pitching, internal team liaison and project management.
What are the most exciting changes you have seen/are seeing in medcomms sector?
Louise: I would say the main change we are seeing is an increasing number of agencies growing their own in house digital / creative studio of people with specialist skills to enhance the development and delivery of content. This may include graphic designers, website designers, interactive developers, Powerpoint and presentation specialists, digital and multichannel expertise.
Phil: There are a growing number of start-ups too. We are always excited to see new agencies join the industry as it is a sign of ongoing growth and this offers candidates greater options for their career. The increase in flexibility around working arrangements is also a welcome evolution. With the medcomms landscape being so diverse and progressive, the team here at Carrot make a conscious effort to keep their knowledge up to date and identify these changes. We can then be truly consultative with candidates, advising them on the possibilities available to meet their requirements. So, if they want to explore options that are digital, international, independent, start up, creative, publications or non-publications focused, genuine work from home or part time hours, we have the knowledge and partnerships in place to support them throughout the process of securing their perfect role!
How is the marketplace / skills base / roles / responsibilities changing (in your sector)
Phil: The ongoing popularity and high uptake of digital outputs has seen increasing demand in the need for digital professionals with medcomms experience, both to work in house or as a specialist support within a partner agency.
Louise: The traditional healthcare communications team structure mentioned previously is also adapting to enable them to offer clients the very best of service and programme delivery. Roles are merging so Medical Writers are increasingly client facing and commercially minded, and account handlers have a scientific or healthcare background to boost their understanding of projects and processes. The teams work collaboratively to share knowledge and ideas that lead to the development of world class and award winning solutions for their clients.
How is this affecting your clients' strategy to team growth and the skill sets they are looking for? (are there any hybrid roles developing, are they looking for skills outside of traditional skillsets? Is there anything people should be looking at trying to add to their experience to help with career growth?)
Louise: Prospective candidates who can offer knowledge and skills across a range of areas within an agency are highly sought after. This might be a PhD graduate with the science background, who is commercially astute. A digitally savvy account manager who can input into how digital could be best utilised to enhance a client project. Or maybe a digital project manager who has worked on pharmaceutical projects so understands the regulations faced by the healthcare industry. To enhance employability within medcomms, we would recommend people try to gain a broad exposure across different types of projects and therapy areas. At Carrot Pharma Recruitment we value challenging industry perceptions and we feel that is important for people within medcomms too – be innovative, think creatively, differentiate yourself with fresh ideas and input, and try new things – (whilst keeping the client brand and key messages at the forefront!). If opportunities do not present themselves to you, ask your line manager about the potential of working on different accounts or projects that will build up the required knowledge. In our experience, a company will encourage upskilling and personal development so make them aware of your ambitions and work together on a plan to achieve your goals.
