The city of Lexington enters into thousands of purchases and contracts worth millions of dollars each year. Taxpayers should be able to trust that the competition for all that business is genuine and aboveboard. They should know that the city follows safeguards to get the best deals possible.
Enough doubts have been raised about the Newberry administration's recommendation in 2007 to award the city's insurance business to the Kentucky League of Cities to merit investigations by state Auditor Crit Luallen and a special committee of the council.
Luallen announced Thursday that she would investigate, while Vice Mayor Jim Gray appointed seven council members to the investigative committee unanimously authorized on Tuesday by the council.
It's possible that these formal investigations could have been avoided if the administration had been more open with information when council member KC Crosbie and others started raising questions.
Instead, the administration appeared to stonewall while dismissing the questions as politically motivated. As more information has dribbled out, including e-mail exchanges between city officials left anonymously at the Herald-Leader, serious questions about the propriety of the decision have arisen.
For example: Was there pressure within the administration to stack the decision in KLC's favor? Why between Aug. 30, 2007 and Sept. 11, 2007 did KLC lower its bid enough to undercut its competition? And why was certain information that might have hurt KLC's chances withheld from the council?
At the time, Mayor Jim Newberry had been on KLC's executive board for about six months.
The administration has released figures showing that the city's insurance costs have decreased since KLC got the business. That information merits closer analysis to discover whether those savings were the best the city could do.
In 2007, Patrick Johnston, the city's risk management director, communicated to Law Commissioner Logan Askew several reservations about KLC's insurance operations and ethics. His concerns later proved to be well founded. But Johnston was overridden. He also reported his concerns about KLC to city auditors who concluded there was nothing there for them to pursue.
Now the Newberry administration is trying to eliminate Johnston's job. The mayor has said the change is part of ongoing efforts to increase efficiency at city hall.
But taxpayers also need to trust that civil servants aren't punished for raising legitimate concerns about administration decisions.
That these questions arose in the midst of a hard-fought contest for mayor between Newberry and Gray does not diminish their validity or importance.

Newest Eyeshadow Love – UD Naked Dupe
Posted 8 august 2013on:
- În: Make-up
- 6 Comments
So, I was just walking around Bucharest the other day, just minding my own business when the Devil pushed me into entering a small neighborhood store near the Dristor subway station where I saw this little gem
Not the yummy looking piece of shadow that Urban Decay Naked is, right? But check it out closer
Awesome, right? It's from the brand Qianyu and it cost me 7.5RON (aprox. $2). If you've been following me for a while, you know that I have another Qianyu eyeshadow palette (a trio that you can see here), but this one is HEAVEN! Shade no 8 even has a duo-chrome effect.
The eyeshadow was applied on top of the Radiant base
To sum up:
+ 9 eye shadows (13g) for $2
+ The eye shadows have matte, metallic and shimmery finishes
+ Very pigmented
+ Good resistance with primer
My advice: Buy it if you find it! You won't regret it!
Do you like it?

Mrs Brown's Boys up for a Bafta
It was roundly slammed by the critics, but Mrs Brown's Boys has landed a Bafta nomination for the best sitcom on British TV.
Brendon O'Carroll's BBC One show has been shortlisted alongside Peep Show, Rev and The Trip.
Rev's Tom Hollander has also been nominated for best male performance in a comedy role in a shortlist which breaks up several acting partnerships usually seen as equal.
James Buckley is the only member of The Inbetweeners ensemble to receive a nod; David Mitchell is honoured for his Peep Show role – but Robert Webb isn't; and Steve Coogan gets recognised for the Trip, but not Rob Brydon.
Brydon is, however, nominated for best entertainment performance for his BBC Two talk show. Stephen Fry, Harry Hill and Graham Norton are also in the running.
Nominated for best female comedy performer are Jo Brand for Getting On, Dawn French for Roger And Val Have Just Got In, Miranda Hart for Miranda and Katherine Parkinson for The IT Crowd.
And Sky One's new move into creating original comedy programming has been rewarded with a Bafta nomination for Catherine Tate's Little Cracker. It is up for best comedy alongside Come Fly With Me, Facejacker, and Harry and Paul.
There's also good news for stand-up Daniel Rigby, who has been nominated for best actor for his role as a young Eric Morecambe in the BBC Four biopic Eric And Ernie.
He has made a formidable list that also includes Jim Broadbent for Any Human Heart, Benedict Cumberbatch for Sherlock and Matt Smith for Doctor Who.
The programme itself, which also starred Victoria Wood, is up for best single drama against I Am Slave, The Road To Coronation Street and The Special Relationship.
In other categories: Have I Got News For You and The Graham Norton Show have been shortlisted for best entertainment programme, alongside The Cube and X Factor.
And Miranda is the only comedy up for the YouTube audience award, against Downton Abbey, The Killing, Big Fat Gypsy Weddings, The Only Way is Essex and Sherlock.

The Diocese was established in 1856 by Pope Pius IX as a division of the Archdiocese of Toronto, in order to meet the needs of a rapidly growing Catholic community in Ontario.

World Day for Consecrated Life
Tuesday, February 2nd is the World Day for Consecrated Life and the closing of the Year for Consecrated Life.
In 1997, Pope Saint John Paul II instituted a day of prayer for women and men in consecrated life. This celebration is attached to the Feast of the Presentation of the Lord. Religious sisters, nuns, brothers, religious priests, and monks consecrate their lives through their profession of religious vows. Single lay people may also choose vows of holy dedication as consecrated virgins. Those who choose to live a consecrated life do so as a commitment to the tenets of chastity, poverty, and obedience. The Year of Consecrated Life was officially inaugurated on November 29, 2014, and ends with the celebration of a special Mass by His Holiness, Pope Francis, at St. Peter's Basilica in Rome.
We are all invited to reflect on the role of consecrated life in the Church and to pray for those who have made this commitment.
The Bishop Farrell Library has a wide selection of resources on consecrated life. These include:
Timothy M. Dolan, Priests for the Third Millennium (2000) – A series of discussions on the life of a priest in the third millennium, given by Archbishop Timothy Dolan during his time as Rector of the North American College in Rome.
Myles Gaffney, Signposts of Our Faith: Canadian Witnesses to Vocation and Mission (2012) – Brief biographies of remarkable Canadian individuals, whose lives were committed to Christ.
John A. Hardon, Catholic Catechism on Consecrated Life (2000) – A catechism commentary on the consecrated life based on the Apostolic Exhortation Vita Consecrata (The Consecrated Life).
Pope John Paul II, Vita Consecrata (The Consecrated Life) (1996) – Apostolic Exhortation reflecting on the gift and mission of the consecrated life at the service of the Church.
Carol Schuck Scheiber, ed., Religious Life and You (1996) – A compilation of articles from Vision Magazine that explore topics related to vocations, discernment, and consecrated life.
Elizabeth M. Smyth, ed., Changing Habits: Women's Religious Orders in Canada (2007) – A collection of articles on the history of women's religious orders in Canada.

Sade- "Keep Looking" Live
I guess you can say that 2009 has gotten of to a promising start. Productivity is at an all time high. I've been in the studio with 1 O.A.K. knocking out a lot of material for his project and its sounding ridiculous. Lately. for some reason, whenever we finish a song, we seem to be getting IMs from folks telling us that there is "civil unrest" and "rioting" just outside of the studio. Its a tense time in Oakland. I attended the Rally today for BART police murder victim Oscar Grant. The rally was held right downtown and was very peaceful. I guess after the March something got out of hand, resulting in Wells Fargo's windows to be all busted. But like last time, I saw none of it, as I was Doin' My Job.
When it comes to this music, stayin' on task is so important. Just like anything worth doing, it takes hard work. I've been on this grind for a few years now and its safe to say that things are way different than before. Better. I was in a session with Mistah F.A.B. just the other day... we were catching up on music and life. Its funny, because you realize how much time flies when you don't see someone on a regular basis. For both of us, things have changed. From studio hopping all day and peddling CDs to anyone that would listen, to making music all day and trying to feed those listening.
I guess it hasn't changed THAT much.
Having my eye on the "prize" (whatever that may be) has given me a reason to keep getting up everyday and keep battling up hill to make a real social impact with this music. Its MORE that just dope beats and dope rap/vocals. Music is what gets people through the tough times. Times that Oakland and dozens of cities having at this very moment. Times when your heart hurts.
So I'm gonna continue to do what I gotta do to get where I wanna get... That means making what I wanna make, so folks can hear what they need to hear. Oh and Loving what I Do, Doing What I Love.

Do you know what Exerunner is?
If you have come across a suspicious application with a name Exerunner, you should know that it is better to delete it because it is just an adware helper which is not going to do anything beneficial to your system. This application might come onto your computer without being noticed. It is known that it is usually installed together with different advertising-supported programs. As you might have probably understood, you will not be informed about its installation. Actually, this program tries not to show itself to computer users in order not to be removed. However, if you are one of those who have spotted it, do not hesitate to remove Exerunner straightaway.
It has been observed that many users, who have noticed Exerunner on their systems, have adware as well. Thus, if you are bombarded by different advertisements, it is very probable that you have encountered advertising-supported program as well. Even though not all the programs are intended to cause harm to the security of your system, you should be extremely careful if you notice such an application running on your PC. It is known that all these advertisements might lead you to potential threats because every time you click on them, you will be redirected to some other websites that might be unreliable or even contain malicious software.
Computer users rarely notice Exerunner and other adware helpers like BenchUpdater even though they create a folder with a random name, for instance, %ALLUSERSPROFILE%\ExerunnEra. If you have DealsFinder Pro or MapsGalaxy on your system, it is not surprising that Exerunner has been installed together with them because it is known that Exerunner comes bundled with those applications. Exerunner itself assists adware programs, for instance, helps them to perform update. In order to avoid various undesirable applications, you should know that your antimalware tool has to be enabled all the time.
Some of the advertising-supported programs might be erased manually. However, if you find it impossible for any reasons, you can always acquire an automatic malware remover, for example, SpyHunter. It will definitely detect and remove Exerunner and the adware whose component it is. You will also not need to worry about the security of your system anymore because this antimalware suite will not allow different threats to get on the system.

Wilton Speight's confidence, patience lead him to his best game yet against Illinois
ANN ARBOR, Mich. – Fans have been vocal in hopes that Michigan QB Wilton Speight would go from good to great before it's too late. And on Saturday against Illinois, Speight took a big step forward.
Aside from his part-time game against Hawaii in Week One, Wilton Speight boasted his highest QBR on Saturday with a staggering 190.7 rating. His swagger in the pocket and consistently accurate passes haven't been seen on such a display all season.
"He was just on the money," Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh said during his post-game press conference about the redshirt sophomore. "The entire game, I thought Wilton Speight may have had one of the best games of his career."
In the offseason, Speight was advertised as a "good-not-great" quarterback who would get the job done, without mistakes, but there were concerns as to whether he could make the big play in the big game. While Saturday against a bad Illinois team wasn't a "big game," certainly it was a stage for Speight to showcase how good he can be.
He was 16-of-23 passing for 253 yards and two touchdowns.
"Every time you go out there on Saturday, you want to give the impression of domination," Speight said during the post-game press conference.
Speight did exactly that in the Wolverines' 41-8 win over the Illini. He completed an impressive 70 percent of his passes in guiding the team to another blowout win.
What made him great Saturday afternoon was fairly obvious — his quiet, but deadly confidence.
"Wilton's best trait is his confidence," redshirt freshman TE Tyrone Wheatley, Jr. said after the game. "He's a student of the game. This bye week, he didn't take one day off."
In addition to his pinpoint accuracy and confidence through the roof, Speight used his legs for a first down on a second-and-7, something we haven't seen all season, but saw a lot on high school tape. And senior WR Amara Darboh said that isn't the last we see of plays like that from his quarterback.
"He's a playmaker," Darboh said. "He might not look one, but he's a playmaker."
The Wolverines will need Speight to be a playmaker next week against Michigan State. Speight hasn't played a down against Michigan State, and he also hasn't been part of a team to defeat the Spartans.
During the post-game press conference, Speight touched on what it will be like to move forward from a career day, and head into a game against Michigan State that evokes a lot of memories from last year's heartbreak.
"This isn't a game you have to try to find motivation for, this is a rivalry game," Speight said.
Michigan kicks off against the in-state rival Spartans at noon next Saturday in East Lansing.

Valentine's Day is not just for lovers. It is also a day to celebrate important friendships and to remind us to take a few minutes and reconnect with the people that are most dear to us.
I was reminded of this on a recent trip to Los Angeles to drop my daughter off at school. As we drove up the I-5, we happily chatted about the new semester. She raised some concerns about the heavy load of classes she signed up for and complained about her professors being difficult and not very friendly. In particular, she was worried about a political science project she had to deliver in a few weeks, and she turned to me for advice on getting through her most difficult class.
Keeping my eyes on the road, I started to give her "the speech," but luckily stopped myself in time. When my children were young, I sometimes lied and manipulated the truth about my childhood in the hopes that I could makes things better for them. But my daughter is now an adult, and pulling her leg by pretending to be an authority on the subject of political science no longer seemed like a good thing to do.
I told her about this guy in high school who wasn't like most of the other boys. He didn't smoke or drink, and he wasn't mean to the girls. Instead, he was very kind and attentive, and even offered to write all of my papers for me. This got my daughter's attention, and soon she was asking all about him -- who he was, when did I see him last and what happened to him.
Until that moment, I hadn't thought of him in years. Yet, I began asking myself the same questions. The truth was, I didn't know what happened to him. My family moved away the next year, we lost touch with each other, and I never heard from him again.
I firmly believe in the Law of Attraction. But you can imagine my surprise when I ran into my old friend from high school the very next day!
For me, nothing beats the accidental meeting with an old acquaintance, or better yet, an old friend. And nothing is more precious than the chance to reconnect with someone you care about and relive your past.
When you sit across the table from a person you haven't seen in almost 30 years, constantly interrupting each other and constantly apologizing for fear of being rude, you want to hold on to every word and every sentence and relieve every memory that you shared. When you have so much to say that you're gasping for air, time disappears and it's almost like you're living in the past again.
We talked for a while and then said our goodbyes, promising to stay in touch. As I got into my car, flooded with emotion from reliving all the memories, it didn't seem possible that 30 years have gone by. I felt warm, happy and very content.
In many ways, friendship is like marriage. It's a relationship that has to be nursed and nurtured until it blossoms. Yet, few of us know how to be a good friend. Plus, it today's hectic world, it's all too easy to walk away from a friendship or break up a relationship that took years to build. Sometimes we let our egos get in the away. Sometimes it's our judgment that hinders our friendship. And sometimes it's simply the lack of time in our chaotic lives to be there for our friends.
As I got to know my old new friend I found that we had a lot in common. I was saddened by all the lost years we missed out on, but only for a minutes. We have so much in common that I know we will stay in touch for years to come.
My friends have always been precious to me, but this incident made me realize even more how important friendships are. So this Valentine's Day, be sure to honor the main love of your life, but make an effort to reach out to your friends as well. Let them know how much you appreciate their friendship and what it means to you.
Who knows? You just might inspire them to do the same!
All the best
what a terrific column Yana. I have always felt that way about people from my past.
Last Memorial Day, Sarah and I went to NYC for the weekend, just the 2 of us. We talked, bonded as we hadn't been able to in several years. Then she got to meet a friend from my past. We had breakfast w/ him and his friend. He told her stories about me-she couldn't believe what I was like in high school.
gave her a totally different view of her mom.

Finally, Finding Who I am as a Coach (And a Small Apology Thrown in)
A couple of years ago I decided to leave where I was working and start my own coaching business. It was a big decision to make. Apart from earning a great salary, enjoying super working conditions and working with people who I was friends with and liked, it also meant a major upheaval as it meant leaving the country I called home.
It also meant stepping into the unknown, which I found exciting.
Nothing in life is guaranteed after all, as the world says.
Strangely enough one of the biggest challenges of it all was finding who I was as a coach. When I coach other entrepreneurs this is something I find quite easy to help them with, but struggled for a while when it came to me.
For some unknown reason I was in two minds as to what I should be called.
You cannot be all things to all people or you risk being nothing for everybody.
I did ask two other coaches who I know and another couple of trusted sources. I got different answers from each, which only added to my confusion.
So I played around with who I was. I jumped and flitted from being The Mind Coach to The Awesome Coach. And not just on here, but on my Facebook page too.
Other people are rightly known as The Relationship Coach or The Success Coach, The Money Coach, The Weight Loss Coach and so forth. But three of these were all known as Life Coaches for a while before they found who they were as coaches.
Finally, I have now decided on being The Mind Coach. Why? because I have studied the mind for over 28 years. It is the one thing that fascinates me more than anything else. When I coach others I focus on their mind and their perspectives on things.
It is what I read about and study. It is what I am passionate about. It is something I can talk about for hours on end. How we think, how our beliefs are formed and how they can be changed; how we are conditioned, how others can influence us and much more, all fascinates me.
The answer, you could say, was staring me in the face.
Everything begins in the mind
When I look at the people who I coach and how I coach them, the vast majority of those sessions have been helping people see things in a different light or tapping into and unleashing the unlimited potential held within their own mind.
For example;
- If somebody wants better results as an athlete I coach their mental approach (And have done very successfully) to their sport.
- If somebody wants a better relationship I don't give them practical strategies to make that relationship better; I coach their mental attitude to that particular relationship, or perhaps unearth a limiting belief they hold and change that.
- If I coach a sales team to increased performance I don't give them the latest sales or closing techniques; but I will coach them on their mental approach like how to get motivated, deal with rejection or build better rapport.
- If somebody wants to earn more more money I don't coach them on how to build a successful portfolio but I might coach them on their self-worth or again, unlock a deep rooted limiting belief about money so they can be more open to earning or making more.
- If an entrepreneur wants to build their business the very first task I perform is to discover what their purpose is for their business; both for themselves and their customers. Everything else flows from this purpose, in my opinion. I need to know that they have the mental capacity to grow that business to million dollar status and beyond (If they want to grow that large of course).
You maybe thinking this blog post is more like a sales letter of self-promotion. It is not. If I wanted to do that I would write one and send you to it. No, this is to help anyone else out there to be patient if they have started their own business and and are yet to find their niche or who they are.
As I read on a trusted source once, finding who you are in business exactly, or your niche, can take time. As long as the wait does not prevent you from working on your business, it's okay. The answer will soon come, they said.
And they are right.
So for those of you who have followed my blogs or my Facebook page and have witnessed the changes in my tagline or the photo in my header, I do apologise.
Now I am sticking to what I do best and what I love. From now on I shall only be…

Feeling short of cash, and running out of options to keep yourself entertained at home this week!? Here's a huge list of inspirational activities for Undertendollars:
- Have a BBQ
- Lie in the hammock and watch the world go by
- Listen to the radio. If you select some music, have a dance.
- Build a tent with blankets and pillows for the kids, and 'go camping'
- Roast marshmallows on the BBQ
- Give a massage
- Clean out your wardrobe and get your clothes charity bags ready
- Talk
- Play cards
- Put together a puppet show with the kids
- Make a pot of tea on the BBQ and share it with the neighbours
- Cook some soup on the BBQ
- Play hangman
- Write a letter
- Read a book
- Polish the silver. Urgh ~ who suggested that? The only reason I Iike to polish the silverware (a couple of candlesticks and a wine holder) is that they look so beautiful on the table when they're gleaming. The best way to enjoy your gleaming silverware is to participate in the Posh It Up activity below.
Posh it up. A quick, simple and entertaining activity for an evening is to posh it up at the dinner table. It is party night every night at our house! Well, most nights. Actually, just some nights. The kids help set the dinner table and we dress it with a tablecloth, linen napkins, full cutlery and candles (don't forget the polished silverware!). It's a great activity for them, they enjoy learning 'proper' table manners and most of the time, they actually eat their dinner too! Not only is this a great activity for kids, it's a really lovely activity to do with your partner too. Don't save it for visitors – enjoy poshing it up for you too.
Play a board game. We got bananagrams for Christmas, which is one you can play on your own
Pull out some weeds in the garden
If your phone is working, ring a friend or family member and have a proper conversation
At night time, go outside and really look at the stars
Go through your fire evacuation plan, and do a fire DRILL with the family
Write a bucket list
Thumb wrestle
Play dress-ups with the kids
If it's winter, and the heating is off, gather all your blankets, herd the family into one room and snuggle together whilst sharing scary stories
Play bingo
Grab the exercise equipment that's hiding under the bed and give it a go. Run up/down steps, use park equipment, go for a walk, do sprints in the backyard with your kids and use your kids as weights!
Go through your pantry/fridge and work out what meals you can put together with your existing supplies and resources
Take photos. Hang a sheet as your backdrop and do family portraits. If the weather is nice outside, go outside for better lighting
Clean the oven
Have a tea party
Make a pavlova, or lamingtons
Do a large jigsaw puzzle
Lie on the couch and have the kids run around doing "Simon Says" instructions
Pin the tail on the donkey
Start a Gift Register to keep track of all your gift expenses (template here)
Make popcorn on the BBQ
- Crosswords
- Paint your toenails ~ or someone else's
- Yoga
- Freeze a bunch of grapes and place them in a freezer bag. Use them instead of an ice-brick next to your lunch, and you'll have a cool snack when they defrost.
- Enjoy home-made icy cocktails, or make your own lemonade (see http://www.epicurious.com/articlesguides/drinking/cocktails/summercocktails)
- Soak your feet in a tub of cool/warm water tub (give them a pamper while you're at it)

- Watch movies at home, borrow DVD's from the library, and eat home-made popcorn.
- Set up a compost bin ~ See our "Fix Your Food Waste"
- You don't need to buy accessories for your home. Show off your fancy china tea cups, any lovely pottery bowls and even empty vases look good when they're grouped together with other like-minded accessories. Try placing them with some black and white photos, and/or the groups of books you've already put together. Just play around with the colours and sizes until you find a look that works.
- Review your book collection. Books look fantastic in a home library that surrounds the walls of a room. Some of us don't have that many books, or the space for a library. By strategically placing batches of books around the home, you have instant styling! Look at the spines of the book and match them together by size and colour.
- Rotate your home decor. Bring out your cooler coloured accessories in summer, and warmer accessories in winter. The same applies with cushions, throws and blankets. This reduces clutter in your home, and gives you a refreshing new look every six months.
- Fluff up your cushions
- Find the memories or sentimental items around your home that bring you comfort, and ensure they are displayed in a flattering location. If you have photos tucked away in an album, then either display the entire album so you can peruse at your leisure or pull out your favourites and have them framed.
- Burning some incense or oils, display a bowl of potpourri or plant some fresh herbs at the back door or place in the kitchen. The Readers Digest have 8 Aromatherapy Projects to Fragrance Your Home (well worth a read)
- Create a Comfort Zone (read more here). Nominate one room or one space that is for relaxation and ensure this is the one area that is always clean and uncluttered. This is your sanctuary, and you can resort to it whenever you feel like some comfort.
- Mend your clothes. Find clothes that have little holes or hems that need fixing, and hand sew them. Check out our Clothing Corner
- Recover some old items around the home (jar lids, lamp shades, cushion covers, book covers, vases). Use fabrics, paper mache, leaves … let your imagination run wild.

One way that Seattle Children's helps your child and family through this challenging time is by helping you understand as much as possible about the transplant process.
You most likely have many questions about Seattle Children's and how to prepare your child for their clinic visit. Get information about your child's clinic visit, including:
We accept referrals from your child's primary care doctor, a specialist or a case manager, or directly from you.
Your child will receive a pre-transplant evaluation before we can begin working with the organizations that handle the organ donation process.
We will review your child's medical and surgical history and schedule office visits with the transplant doctor and transplant team. The office visits usually take place over 2 days.
Once the pre-transplant evaluation is complete, the transplant team will review your child's case and determine if a kidney transplant is the best option for your child. If you and the transplant team decide to move forward, we can begin working with the organizations that handle the organ donation process.
If you have a family member or other living donor who is willing to donate a kidney, that person will be evaluated at University of Washington Medical Center (UWMC).
If the donor is a good match, the donor's surgery will be performed at UWMC, just 2 miles away from Seattle Children's. Once the kidney is removed from the donor, it will be quickly transported from UWMC to Seattle Children's for your child's transplant.
If the donor is not a good match for your child, we partner with the National Kidney Registry (NKR) to look for a paired exchange. This means NKR tries to match your willing donor to a different patient and to match a different living donor to your child. Your transplant coordinator or nephrologist can explain more about this option. Learn more about NKR.
If there is not a living donor available, your child will be placed on the United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS) waiting list for a kidney from a deceased donor.
UNOS is a nonprofit organization that matches organs with patients. They collect information about every transplant in the United States.
There are many things to keep in mind while you are waiting for a kidney transplant.
Preparing your child and your family for the surgery may help reduce everyone's stress during this time.
Our team will help your family prepare and cope with the experience. We want you to know what's going to happen each step of the way.
Learn more about what to expect if your child is having surgery, including:
Most kidney transplant surgeries last about 4 to 6 hours. During surgery, you will be asked to check in at the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) on the 6th floor and be given a pager so that staff in the operating room can keep you informed on how your child is doing.
There are many comfortable places to wait at the hospital while your child is in surgery.
Patients begin their recovery in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU), where we closely monitor how the transplanted kidney is working. Transplant immunosuppression medicines are also started at this time. Most patients stay in the PICU for 2 to 3 days and then are moved to the Surgical Unit.
Learn more about your child's stay at Seattle Children's, including:
See our Main Campus Visitor and Family Guide, which includes:
Once your child leaves the hospital, they will continue to visit the clinic for follow-up care. A regular schedule of visits will make sure that your child:

The City of Hattiesburg has Dr. David Lee, MD, and NFL great, Brett Favre, to thank for making the city one of the only seven cities in the country to have a revolutionary piece of medical technology. Doctors predict this breakthrough could change the lives of people with back problems.
The VMA test was introduced to WDAM on Friday, and it's a machine that provides spine surgeons with a test that is 79 percent more accurate than typical MRI machines. It also reduces cancer causing radiation exposure.
Like many Americans, former American Football League quarterback Brett Favre has friends and loved ones with back pain from sports related injuries.
"You don't realize how much you use your back on a day to day basis until it is injured," Favre said.
"From tying your shoes to getting out of bed, you don't realize how much your back is being exercised until you're in back pain, and this piece of technology is impressive. The medical care here in Hattiesburg is second to none."
The Vertebral Motion Analysis machine images the spine in motion. It helps surgeons pinpoint spinal irregularities more accurately. The VMA is different than typical spinal tests, because MRIS and CT scans act as photographs; whereas, the VMA acts as a live video.
Many past surgical decisions are based upon static photos, which oftentimes do not accurately reveal problem areas. Dr. David Lee, Spinal/Neurological surgeon, says this new machine has even driven him to diagnose patient issues differently than his original diagnoses, before surgical procedures.
"Sometimes it makes you alter the course of what you were going to do if you used an MRI or CT scan," Lee said.
The machine can be compared to a motion-graphic film. It captures millions of places along the spine as it moves, which creates the video.
"This is a truly novel machine," Lee said.
"Like something I've never seen before."
The machine is now FDA approved, and insurers are catching on to the benefits of the VMA. Providers are applying it to benefit programs, similar to standard X Ray procedures.

Series: Elegant Violence
About Amy Elkins
Amy Elkins intimate yet formal portrait work stems out of an exploration of masculinity and male identity often within constructed or impermanent environments. Working in series, her earlier work, Wallflower (2004-2008), looks into the nuances of gender identity and vulnerability. She later went on to investigate aspects of male identity and athleticism through projects Elegant Violence (2010), where she documented young Ivy League rugby players moments after a game, marked by bruises and cuts; and Danseur (2012), looking to young male ballet dancers moments after intensive training in Copenhagen, Denmark. In 2009 Elkins began working on Black is the Day, Black is the Night, a project that stretched over a span of 8 years. The work, which was made directly through correspondence with men serving life and death row sentences in some of the most maximum security prisons in the US, explores how memory and notions of self are impacted by isolation and long-term incarceration. In 2016 Elkins returned to the Wallflower portrait. Though unlike the original series, which aimed the lens at cisgender men almost entirely photographed within her personal space, Wallflower II explores a much broader sense of masculine identity- shot in the personal space of strangers in urban and rural Georgia upon first meeting and found through online calls / searches surrounding ideas of masculinity and gender in the American South.

A Quick Look Into The Nature Of UX And UIFor lots of people UX and UI have been an entirely technical jargon that has been use in the industry for more than a decade. And if you would chance to overhear them used in a conversion you won't help but to feel a surge of sudden childish curiosity from adults' private discourse. They provide an air sophistication for the majority, however if you would only know their true form or meaning if you prefer; they convey a rather simple embodiment of a holistic function both inside and outside of the online industry. Hence, the purpose of this post is to bring a nibble of learning about the true definition of what a UX and UI is.
The Anatomy Of An Online Experience
UX and UI are both vital elements in creating diverse sorts of product or services online. A perfect description of what UX and UI do is the anatomical physiology of the human body, UX or also known as User Experience Design is like our body's system of organs that performs tasks that are responsible for synchronizing and optimizing systemic function together with a sound coding that serves as its framework. UI or user Interface design serves as websites over all beautification or presentation as well as its sensitivity and reaction.
In A Nutshell How Do UX And UI Works?
UX Design compared to UI Design is relevantly more technical and analytical; it is used to achieve an excellent customer experience through a website's user-friendliness, convenient use, and dynamic interaction. UX covers all sorts of interactions from recurring or potential customer to a service provider, research, content, development, and testing. It is somewhat related to what back-end online professionals do.
UI Design on the other hand is focused on the translation of results from UX and layout it beautifully and dynamically for a holistic user experience. It is its job to transferring business strength and aesthetic into an interactive interface that aims to improve user experience. You may even consider it just like what front-end web developers, content writers, and graphic designers do combined into one.

Drama workshop on PhotoPeach
The Bug Hotel on PhotoPeach
P5 have been working with National Trust rangers from Newhailes and volunteer gardeners at Lewisvale allotments to create a bug hotel. The children collected all the material from home and carried it along to the allotments.
P5 worked with two rangers which meant the class were split into 2 groups which swapped half way through the afternoon. The first ranger, Anna, helped build the bug hotel using pallets provided by the allotment gardeners and the material brought by the children. The second ranger, Stuart, took the group on a minibeasts hunt.
We needed two sessions to complete the bug hotel and on return to the school, P5 will present what they have learnt to P4/5 who will hopefully then build a bug hotel in the toadstool village garden.
This project will help P5 work towards their John Muir Award which they will undertake more fully after the February holidays.

Thistles and Harris tweed on P5's
Waulking Song
P5 have been learning about 'Musical Journeys Around Scotland'.
The first thing P5 learnt was how they made Harris Tweed on the Western Isles.
The woman would soften and straighten it and that is what P5 practised. This is called Waulking. The women would sing a Gaelic song to keep the rhythm and P5 learnt one too. It is called 'An Fhideag Airgid' .
In class the boys took part too. We sat opposite each other and one side pulled while the other side pushed the fabric. P5 had to tap our knuckles on the table.

P4 Local Walk of Musselburgh
We went on a walk of Musselburgh to investigate the variety of landmarks ,important buildings and shops that make Musselburgh a fabulous place. We are trying to create a mural that could be made by the community of Musselburgh and celebrate how wonderful the place is.
We hope to write to local Councillors to share our idea and propose where we could place this mural in the town.
From our walk, we chose key landmarks such as The Tolbooth, Lucas, The Mercat Cross and the Pinkie Pillars as special places to have on the mural.
Here are photos of our walk. Can you recognise any of the places?
Primary 4's local walk of Musselburgh on PhotoPeachPrimary 4 are researching about life in Musselburgh past, present and future.
We are hoping to create our own Musselburgh Murals to include all the places, people and events that make Musselburgh so special.
We are focusing on the oldest buildings, the motto of Musselburgh, Where the name Musselburgh came from, famous people from Musselburgh, When the Romans came to Musselburgh?
Let us know what you think? What makes Musselburgh a special place to you?
Keep a look out for our ideas and information on our web page.

Primary 4 Scots Month
4 January on PhotoPeach
Primary 4 have voted on names for the new goldfish. The winning names are bubbles and bob. William and Emily went with Mrs Duncan to pick the goldfish. Bubbles is now living in a tank in our classroom. Her friend Bob will arrive after the Christmas holidays. Bubbles is a Comet Goldfish and swims very fast. She needs some time to get used to the tank on her own before Bob comes to live with her. Look out for the photos of the fish very soon.
P4 are also learning about about shoes. We are designing our own shoes and then we are going to make them. Mrs Duncan has said that we can make shoes for the characters in Puss in Boots or makes the shoes for ourselves.
We have made a design plan of the various parts of the shoe. We will display them when finished and take photos for the website.
We are very excited in Primary 4 as we are getting class pets.
We will be getting 2 goldfish to look after in our room.
As part of our homework activities last week, we had to think
of a name for the fish create a picture, model or badge to show
the name. We have made a display of the options and will vote for
the 2 names on Friday.
Next Wednesday, William and Emily have been chosen to go with Mrs Duncan to buy the goldfish at Dobbies.
So looP5 at health week on PhotoPeach
k out for photos of our new pets on our webpage next week.

Sig Sauer Offers Free Voluntary Upgrade for P320!
Concerned about your P320's safety after the past week's buzz about the pistol failing drop tests? Worry no more. Sig Sauer has just rolled out the fix for your pistol, and it's free. Here's how to get your P320 upgraded.
In response to the recent hype regarding drop safety issues, Sig Sauer has stepped up to the plate and issued "Voluntary Upgrade" program for all current P320 owners. Sig Sauer will upgrade the P320's Firing Control Unit which, according to Sig Sauer, "…will include an alternate design that reduces the physical weight of the trigger, sear, and striker while additionally adding a mechanical disconnector."
If you're one of approximately 500,000 P320 owners and you would like to have your pistol upgraded, you can head to Sig Sauer's P320 Voluntary Upgrade page. You'll need your pistol's serial number and your home address, along with a method of contact.
Once you complete Sig Sauer's Voluntary Upgrade online form, Sig Sauer will contact you with the best method of getting your pistol to them for the upgrade. Since the upgrade includes (this is my guess) machining the slide for a physical disconnector of sorts, the upgrade parts are not being offered as a kit for consumers. You must send your entire pistol to Sig Sauer for the upgrade, as all major components – grip module, slide, and FCU – are reportedly affected by the upgrade. This also means that if you have extra grip modules or X-Change kits, these should be returned as well to be compatible with the upgrade.
Once Sig Sauer upgrades your P320, they will test your pistol and return it, free of charge.
Online reports have mentioned that the upgrade will take approximately four to six weeks for Sig Sauer to turn your pistol around and get it back to you. The upgraded pistols should be distinguishable from non-returned pistols by the appearance of upgraded parts, and a reportedly cleaner trigger pull.
This is a voluntary update. If you choose to not send your P320 in, that's your prerogative. Sig Sauer still boasts that the P320 meets and exceeds all U.S. Standards for safety.
Time will tell how the upgrade pans out; I'm sending mine in for the work. Kudos to Sig Sauer for the extra effort (that doubtlessly will cost a huge sum) to make things right in the customer's eyes.

Ray Milland just didn't work for me in his outing of these 8 films. Not saying Vincent Price would've been great, but hey, yeah, I am.

Maybe Ray Milland would've been a better choice as the villain of a Poe movie instead of the victim.
I say that because pretty soon he would start playing so many arrogant characters in movies and TV shows.

I agree with Randal, but the story was not really a Vincent Price type story.
Ray Milland had a style that made Premature Burial work for me.
Loved Roger Corman's Poe series. He always seemed to get it right.

I had a bit of a Corman-palooza last weekend and watched a few I'd never seen... including Premature Burial. Somehow I had the idea VP was in it, and kept my hopes up till halfway through.
Milland wasn't bad, he did his whole Lost Weekend schtick quite well... but he couldn't elevate that script or the weak ending.

My favorite of the group is probably PIT, because of Luana Anders (a major crush of mine for decades). USHER is my runner-up, thanks to the beautiful color photography. I think they put them together on a DVD double feature, didn't they? I have to get a copy if it's affordable on my non-income. lol
