World Agriculture and the Environment : A Commodity-by-Commodity Guide to Impacts and Practices
User Review - Book VerdictClay (vice-president, Ctr. for Conservation Innovation, World Wildlife Fund U.S.) brings us this economic and environmental overview of 21 commodities, including coffee, soybeans, tobacco, rice, corn, salmon, and beef. For each, he offers both summary data for and maps of production areas, production systems, market trends, and environmental impacts. Clay successfully compresses a large amount of data from diverse aspects of commodity production into trim portions. The market chain and trend data are especially welcome additions to the more traditional agricultural and ecological information. In general, Clay keeps the overviews neutral in tone, although his positive personal experiences with farming do influence his discussion of agricultural history and what he sees as the future trends in this area. Anyone looking for a global perspective on a current situation or a future outlook for these commodities will be well satisfied.

ICD-10 Prep Ramps Up with Testing Week, New CMS 1500 Form
ICD-10 is coming — there is no delay. Your time to prepare for the biggest change to coding in 30 years is now. All practices must be ready to transmit ICD-10 codes on Oct. 1; beginning that date, all ICD-9 codes will be rejected. To help practices prepare for the change, CMS and Medicare administrative contractors will host an ICD-10 test week from March 3 to 7.
Why Physicians Must Code Competently, Part 1
As a physician, your staff can and should be of tremendous assistance when it comes to the complexity of coding. However, far too often, staff has not received a firm coding foundation or had access to ongoing education from an appropriate source. As a result, coding errors and audits occur and physicians pay back thousands of dollars due to simple errors. Because physicians are ultimately responsible for CPT and diagnosis code selection, as well as chart documentation, you, yourself must be a competent coder.
12 Questions to Ask When Hiring Billing Staff
Ophthalmologists rely on billing staff to help keep the office compliant and maximize reimbursement. When recruiting billing staff, many practices look for applicants with little or no billing experience, thinking that if they are trained in-house, they won't bring any noncompliant ideas to the practice. However, if you would prefer someone who can hit the ground running, here are 12 questions to test an applicant's coding savvy.
Eye or E&M Code? That Is the Question
Ophthalmologists have two types of office visit codes to choose from: Eye codes (92XXX) and E&M codes (99XXX). What are their similarities and differences? YO Info breaks them down.
Telling a Story with Modifiers: A Primer on Coding
What do you need to know about modifiers? Everything … period. Applying modifiers is like telling a story to the payer — they indicate that the exam, test and/or surgery billed has been altered or modified in some way. And for claims to be paid correctly, they are vital. Their incorrect usage — as well as their absence altogether — are two major reasons payers reject claims. As a result, modifier misuse can severely impact your practice's bottom line.
Recent CCI Edits Significantly Impact Ophthalmology
Effective July 1, Correct Coding Initiative (CCI) edits version 19.2 bundled all established patient exam codes (both E&M and Eye codes) with all major and minor surgeries. Unfortunately, CMS has not given Medicare administrative contractors clear direction on how to implement these new edits or contractors have not adopted the corrections. As a result, exams are being denied. Also, several sources have provided erroneous information about the edits.

Coding Q&A — Your Questions Answered
The American Academy of Ophthalmic Executives has lately received a host of interesting questions inquiring about different coding-related matters. Below is a selection of the standouts.
Still Time to Avoid the Penalty — Get Cracking on PQRS and E-Prescribing
In 2007, CMS established the Physician Quality Reporting System (PQRS), a pay-for-reporting program that includes claims- and registry-based reporting of data on individual quality measures or on a cataract group measure. PQRS was the first of three incentive programs that also include e-prescribing and meaningful use. While the early phases of these programs included only positive payment adjustments for participation (i.e. bonuses), CMS will soon begin phasing in negative adjustments — penalties — for those who don't participate or don't report successfully. Though these cuts won't take effect until 2015, they're based on what you do this year.
The ABN Explained
When there is a doubt whether Medicare Part B will cover a service, it is always best to obtain an ABN from the patient before performing the services. Instances in which there would be doubt include uncovered diagnosis code, an oculoplastics procedure that may be determined to be cosmetic rather than medically functional or when frequency is exceeded. Certain services are considered statutorily excluded and do not need an ABN signed in advance from the patient. These include refraction services, routine vision care, cosmetic surgeries (including LASIK) and off-label/noncovered services.
Coding and Reimbursement Essentials for Ophthalmologists, Part 2
Would you know how -- and if -- to bill for these situations? In this article we'll cover services provided to family members, meetings with the patient's family and whether you can have multiple fee schedules or show payment amounts on claim submissions.
What Every Ophthalmologist Must Know About Coding and Reimbursement, Part 1
Coding is not for amateurs. With impending fee cuts and increase in overhead, practices can't afford to chronically submit incorrect claims with the hopes that the errors can be corrected the second or third time around. A little known fact is that perpetual resubmission of claims triggers audits. A great New Year's resolution is to take steps to submit correct claims the first time.
Surgical Modifiers: Part 2
When it comes to surgical procedures, modifiers convey to the payer a detailed story of exactly what occurred during the operative session. And since surgical claims cannot be paid correctly if submitted incorrectly, it's imperative to get the modifier story straight the first time. As such, this series of articles will detail exactly which modifier should be used in a variety of surgical cases.
Need a Coding Crash Course? What to Take at the Joint Meeting
Does your coding competence equal your coding confidence? If not, the Joint Meeting is a great place to increase your expertise. Several intensive sessions at this year's Joint Meeting are designed to enhance participants' knowledge of appropriate coding and documentation and ensure proper reimbursement.
Surgical Modifiers: Part 1
When it comes to surgical procedures, modifiers convey to the payer a detailed story of exactly what occurred during the operative session. And since surgical claims cannot be paid correctly if submitted incorrectly, it's imperative to get the modifier story straight the first time. As such, this series of articles will detail exactly which modifier should be used in each surgical condition.
Surgical Coding 101, Part 2: What's Not Included in the Global Surgical Package?
Building on last month's introduction to surgical coding fundamentals, which covered what's included in the global surgical package, we now turn to coding what's not included. If medically necessary and appropriately documented, the following services — which are not included in the global surgical package — may be billed separately.
Surgical Coding 101
Insurance companies classify surgical procedures as either minor or major. Minor procedures have zero or 10 days of postoperative care for Medicare and zero, 10 or 15 days of postoperative care for non-Medicare payers. Major procedures have 90 days of postoperative care for Medicare and 45, 90 or 120 days of postoperative care for non-Medicare payers.
Regulatory Updates for 2012
With all of the rapidly occurring coding changes, there are a few that deserve particular attention. These include audits, the ICD-10 transition and updates to the Physician Quality Reporting System and e-prescribing incentive programs.
Coding Is a Team Sport
While the physician is ultimately responsible, it takes the entire ophthalmic team to stay current with coding changes, implement the updates into the practice, submit the claim and then process (or resubmit) the explanation of benefits correctly. I often joke that if we saw only one or two patients a day, we'd get it right 100 percent of the time. Obviously, we see substantially more patients with a plethora of insurance coverage — all of which may vary. How do you keep up? One solution is to dedicate a part of each staff meeting to coding updates or a coding quiz to make sure the team is on the same playing field.
Nine Key Coding Lessons: Your Colleagues' Favorite CODEquest Insights
Nothing is as constant as change. That phrase was not written to describe the rules and regulations of documentation and coding, but it certainly fits. Ask any of the ophthalmologists of every subspecialty who attended CODEquest Coding College in 2011. The following are a few of the learning gaps in their coding knowledge identified in course evaluations.
Acquiring a Detailed Patient History for Common Eye Emergency Cases
"I need to see the doctor right away — and I don't have an appointment." Staff is often on the receiving end of this request, either by phone or in person, and they need to decide quickly which patients should see a physician and when. Front-desk staff may not be trained for this sort of evaluation, but physicians should be able to help triage ocular emergencies and schedule patients accordingly. Your practice can simplify the choices by dividing clinical presentation into four tiers.
To Charge or Not to Charge Interest: Medicare Billing Fees Explained
One question on everyone's mind lately seems to revolve around the appropriateness of charging Medicare patients interest on past-due amounts. Here's the bottom line from CMS regarding charging interest, etc., to Medicare beneficiaries.
Update on Recovery Audit Contractors
In addition to focused medical review, comprehensive error-rate testing (CERT), and Office of Inspector General and Medicare Advantage plan audits, ophthalmology can add recovery audit contractors (RAC) to the list of growing types of mandated audits.
What's in a Name? Defining and Understanding Local Coverage Determinations
Though it's a far cry from the infamous feud between the Montagues and Capulets, there can be an occasional conflict on exact coverage policy between physicians and Medicare Part B payers. To help you avoid becoming part of such conflicts, here's a quick guide to local coverage determinations (LCDs).
Solving Eight of Your Coding Concerns
When it comes to CPT codes, it can be confusing at best and downright costly at worst. Here are eight common situations and the (usually) quick solution.
Interpreting the Remittance Advice
"Look at the amount we billed. Look at what the insurance company allowed. Write off the difference and bill the patient or the second insurance the difference." Those words were the only training I received when I started processing the explanations of medical benefits now referred to as remittance advice (RA). The reality is there is so much more to know.
Accuracy or Abuse? Appropriately Applying the ABN
More paperwork. Just what the patient and the office needs. Yet the Advance Beneficiary Notice (ABN) is a crucial safety net for payment when used correctly. This article is designed to set the record straight on instances where it is appropriate to use the ABN and when it is not.
Inside Information on Successful Coding
These coding tips will help you achieve documentation compliance, which will result in proper payment of claims the first time.
Avoiding an Audit: History-Taking and the Components of the Chief Complaint
Simply hearing the word "audit" can cause anxiety in any physician…and with good reason! Yet, there are simple steps you can take to protect yourself. For example, did you know that the number one reason physicians don't do well in a third-party payer audit is due to an inadequate history to support the level of documentation billed — particularly in a new patient exam? Let's review the chief complaint and the three components of history-taking in E&M (evaluation and management) coding.
Ophthalmic Abbreviations 101

? Movies showing eye injuries intrigue us. Although it is a challenge to code these incidents, an even greater challenge lies in correctly coding the ophthalmic procedures we see daily. Our focus is to begin highlighting key points in coding the services most frequently performed in ophthalmology.
CMS Signature Requirements for Medical Review
Auditors of recent chart reviews have reported an increase in the number of records reviewed that have unacceptable signatures. Medicare contractors require a legible identifier for services provided or ordered. The signature may be handwritten or an electronic signature may be used. Stamped signatures are not acceptable to sign an order or any other part of the medical record. CMS has clarified what entail acceptable methods of signing records and/or tests.
Three Tips for Fraud Avoidance When Altering Medical Records
Chart audits have revealed that some providers are altering medical records inappropriately. CMS reminds physicians not to alter the documentation after a request for records has been received. Improper altering often fails into two categories.
Claim Submission: Getting It Right the First Time
For those of you who process explanation of benefits (EOBs), what is more frustrating and time-consuming than to have a claim denied, which then requires reprocessing? The truth is, there are mistakes common to all practices that, if avoided, can lead to membership in the "clean claim club."
Medicare Update: Reporting Simplified for 2010 E-Prescribing Incentive
For successful reporting under the 2010 e-prescribing incentive program, a single quality-data code (e-prescribing G-code) should be reported, according to the following coding and reporting principle:

Q & A with the writers of At Water's Edge, Glynis and Dean Hagan
How did you get started as writers?
DEAN: I suppose I have always been a dreamer and always loved creating stories. Back in 1998 Dave Duggan ran a screenwriting course for Northern Ireland Screen, which I decided to attend. I loved the idea that someone from Northern Ireland could write something that could end up at the Oscars. From then I was hooked. Over the years I wrote a number of shorts, dramas and feature scripts in my spare time.
GLYNIS: This has been my first writing experience. Over the years I have been the first person to read Dean's scripts. We would discuss them and pull them apart. I have always had a passion for drama so when Dean asked me to consider writing a script for Primetime I thought I would have a go and I loved it.
What inspired you to write 'At Water's Edge?
GLYNIS: We wanted to write a story about ordinary people living their lives in Northern Ireland as if it were anywhere in the world, a universal story.
DEAN: The idea of exploring what family means appealed to us so we started playing with different scenarios until we found one that we both liked.
GLYNIS: We also wanted to write a strong female role, which lead us to our main character, Beth.
What's your writing routine? How do you work together?
GLYNIS: Dean and I used to play in a band together so we were used to working together. A lot of the writing process for us is not really sitting typing. It is talking through the story. At the beginning of each draft we would take long walks talking through the story.
DEAN: We would then sit down together in our back room once we were ready to put something on paper, usually mid morning or late evening as we have kids.
GLYNIS: I know some writing teams like to go away and write scenes in different rooms and then edit each others work, but we like to write together.
DEAN: What's great about it is that we can bounce ideas and dialogue off each other and get that immediate visceral response. And because we know each other so well we can shoot bad ideas down quickly and move on without worrying about egos.
What ambition do you have as writers? What do you want to do next?
DEAN: We would like to have a career in television writing drama, eventually developing our own series.
GLYNIS: I would love to write stories and characters that touch the heart of an audience the way only great drama can.
DEAN: Next? We would like to work on a recurring drama like Eastenders or Casualty to build our experience.
What TV do you enjoy watching?
DEAN: We have quite an eclectic taste in television although we are both not into reality TV much. We have always been into drama since Thirty Something, Morse, Cracker, Cold Feet.
GLYNIS: Sherlock Holmes, Life on mars, Eastenders, Holby City.
What has Primetime meant to you?
DEAN: It has been a wonderful experience and we feel very honoured to be given this great opportunity.
GLYNIS: It has been a great privilege to work with so many talented people. It takes the talent and skills of so many people to bring a script to the screen and we would like to thank everyone who worked so hard and believed in our script.
DEAN: We would like to thank the cast and crew and our director, Terry Loane for all their hard work.
GLYNIS: We can't wait to do it again!

DENVER—Wisdom Audio is launching its Sage series of architectural speakers, which it believes is the industry's first full line of architectural speakers with integrated DSP-based room correction.
Polk Audio, in contrast, offers two architectural speakers with integrated amplifier/DSP processor that incorporates room-correction functions.
The Sage series is Wisdom's first series of in-wall and on-wall speakers, and the series consists initially of five narrow-and-shallow speakers from 15 inches to 95 inches-tall, each in three configurations: in-wall, on-wall or in-room. To that, Sage adds multiple center channels and a dual-woofer in-wall subwoofer round out the series.
All speakers can be connected to the SC-1 system controller, which incorporates outboard DSP electronic crossover in a 7.3-in/14.3-out configuration and Audyssey MultEQ XT room-correction software. The woofer sections of the speakers are driven in active biamped mode by custom-tailored 2x500-watt and 3x500-watt amplifiers. The amps, in packages of two or more, drive all woofers in biamped mode in a typical stereo or home theater application, said president Mark Glazier. Installers select their own amps for the higher frequencies.
MultEQ Pro takes up to 32 measurements around a listening area and applies equalization filters to compensate for a room's acoustic anomalies in the amplitude and time domains for all speakers, including subwoofers. Separate settings can be programmed for music or movie modes.
The speakers keep their trim shape through the use of planar-magnetic tweeter/midranges and one or more oblong-shaped constrained layer fiber composite woofers (CLFC). Despite the woofers' narrow width, each delivers the piston area of a 10-inch driver and total voice-coil circumference of a 6-inch voice coil in the frame width of a 5-inch driver, the company said. Each driver assembly in the speakers have their own back box.
The in-walls feature integrated back boxes with patent-pending Uni-Grip mounting solution, which attaches the speaker enclosure around its entire perimeter to the wallboard in a way said to reinforce the strength of a wall in some cases.
This TWICE webinar, hosted by senior editor Alan Wolf, will take a look at what may be the hottest CE products at retail that will be sold during the all-important fourth quarter. Top technologies, market strategies and industry trends will be discussed with industry analysts and executives.

GOP on Health Care: Repeal Quickly, Replace Slowly
Posted: 5:06 AM Jun 17, 2012
Reporter: Associated Press
Congressional Republicans intend to seek quick repeal of any parts of the health care law that survive a widely anticipated Supreme Court ruling, but don't plan to push replacement measures until after the fall elections or perhaps 2013.
Instead, GOP lawmakers cite recent announcements that some insurers will retain a few of the law's higher-profile provisions as evidence that quick legislative action is not essential. Those are steps that officials say Republicans urged in private conversations with the industry.
Wyoming Sen. John Barrasso, a member of the GOP leadership, says that once the Supreme Court issues a ruling, "the goal is to repeal anything that is left standing."

Christmas House blesses 195 families
Published on Wed, Jan 13, 2010 by
Matthew Nash

Dungeness Community Church brought jolly Christmases to 195 families in the area this year.
Volunteers continued the 18-year tradition of the Community Christmas House on Dec. 12, bringing new donated presents for people of all ages who are in difficult financial situations. Proof of income is not required.
Parents, guardians and children can choose presents for each other and have them gift-wrapped, all for free.
Carolyn Dennis, co-organizer said, "Every year it gets bigger and better."
"It went from a few tables to wall-to-wall, floor-to-ceiling filled with toys."
Church members and Toys for Tots brought in about 1,000 toys and items this year compared to 600 in years prior.
Since starting in 1992, Christmas House runs on the second Saturday of December.
"It takes a small army to run it with about 100-150 volunteers to run all tasks," Dennis said.
"It's a huge production, like a play."
Giving BIG
Participants line up early to get first pick from the hundreds of presents and items. Only a few people are allowed inside the gift area at a time.
Breakfast and lunch are provided throughout the day with events for children such as arts and crafts and a jump house.
A rummage room, similar to a one-room garage sale, also is available for families. Community members donate used goods including clothes, household items, toys and books throughout the year and families can fill one large plastic bag to take home.
"It seems to me that the rummage room blesses them just as much as wrapped presents do," Dennis said.
Pam Walker, a professional photographer in Sequim, shoots portraits of families. Dennis said more families and young children are dressing up for the event to get their picture taken.
Growing for 19 years
The Sequim event runs simultaneously with one at Independent Bible Church in Port Angeles, which served more than 170 families at its Christmas House event. DCC volunteers encouraged IBC to run a similar event.
Dennis, Sandy McCulloch, Sharon Waters and Rosalie DiMaggio have coordinated the Sequim event for seven years after the co-founders retired after 11 years.
The small committee is pleased by the results.
"We hope to bless families in need this time of year and bless them with the love of Christ," Dennis said.
Money donations for Christmas House are taken year-round.
Contributions can be made to Dungeness Community Church with "Christmas House" in a check memo line.
Items for the rummage room are collected the first week of December.
Dennis encourages people of faith to pray for the ministry.
Dungeness Community Church is at 45 Eberle Lane, Sequim, and can be reached at 683-7333 or www.dcchurch.org.

The first TWENTY volumes : TSCD651-670
"My favourite sit-down-and-listen records" Norma Waterson
This series makes available nearly 500 recordings of English, Irish, Scottish and Welsh traditional music drawn from the archives of Topic Records and from private collections.
Compiled as thematic anthologies, each volume stands on its own, but the series as a whole presents an extensive and varied picture of traditional singing, instrumental music-making and dancing throughout the course of the 20th century. Many of the singers and musicians and their recorded performances presented here are classic, but the inclusion of some less well-known performers and genres broadens the horizon by offering glimpses at some little-known nooks and crannies of traditional music-making. This is the home-spun art and entertainment that enriched the lives of working people in pubs and cottages, in social clubs and village halls and on the street, and was made, in the words of one of the musicians in the series, "by people with dirt under their finger nails."
Society has moved on, but the artistry of these singers and musicians and the emotional impact of their performances are timeless. The timbres and textures of the language and musical expression, the performance skills and techniques, the social values contained in both the material and the performers' life stories, and the subtleties of meaning in the song texts could easily be lost sight of forever. The cultural voices of these farm workers and men on the buildings, the housewives, the shepherds and cowmen, the gardeners and estate workers, the miners and trawlermen, the dealers in scrap, the country policeman and the village postman, the chambermaid and the hospital nurse are therefore worthy of serious and prolonged attention. Their singing and music-making have made a striking and significant contribution to the cultural roots of these islands.
Best known as a dance musician, Reg Hall is a visiting research fellow at the University of Sussex and, in compiling and annotating this series, he has called on the experience of a long, personal involvement with traditional music-making and an academic historian's view of its history and social context. His commentary pays tribute to the pioneer pen-and-paper folk-song-collectors of the Edwardian era and to those professionals in the early post-war years equipped with tape recorders. The 1960s and 1970s saw the rise of a small number of enthusiasts, both professional and amateur, who recorded traditional music and broke new ground in discovery and evaluation, and this series owes a great deal to their creative efforts and co-operation.
Ever a critic of the concepts of 'folk-song' and 'folk-dance', Reg Hall challenges the ground rules of both movements and directs the emphasis in this presentation towards the lives of the performers and the communities and circumstances in which they performed. The songs and dance music had meaning and purpose for the singers and musicians, and the exploration of those realities, as far as we are able to understand them, is far more exciting than perpetuating the myths.
Drawn from recordings made during the 1950s and 60s these four volumes capture the music making of working people. This is the home-spun art and entertainment that enriched the lives of working people in pubs and cottages, in social clubs and village halls and on the street, and was made "by people with dirt under their finger nails." This is music that has been largely ignored by the vagaries of the commercial recording industry. The emphasis in the presentation of this series has been weighted towards the social lives and values of the performers.
Series Editor Reg Hall has chosen individual experts to select and compile these four volumes – Shirley Collins, Steve Roud and Rod Stradling.
TSCD671 YOU NEVER HEARD SO SWEET : Songs by Southern English Traditional Singers.
Selected and presented by Shirley Collins from classic recordings made in the 1950s by Peter Kennedy and Bob Copper
TSCD672D I'M A ROMANY RAI : Songs by Southern English Gypsy Traditional Singers.
Selected and presented by Shirley Collins from classic recordings made in the 1950s by Peter Kennedy
TSCD673T GOOD PEOPLE, TAKE WARNING : Ballads by British and Irish Traditional Singers.
Selected and presented by Steve Roud from classic recordings made in the 1940s, 1950s and 1960s
TSCD674 SARAH MAKEM : The Heart Is True
Classic recordings of this important Northern Irish Traditional singer selected and presented by Rod Stradling
"Topic's original 20-volume The Voice Of The People series in 1998 provided a plethora of superb material for UK folk's productive new wave to gorge on. Now, courtesy of another goldmine of 1950s field recordings salvaged largely from the late collector Peter Kennedy's archive, Reg Hall, Shirley Collins, Steve Roud and Rod Stradling have compiled a cracking new series with detailed, illuminating booklets shining a revelatory light on Britain and Ireland's 'old music'. Hopefully it will inspire future generations… Magnificent" ★★★★ Colin Irwin, MOJO
"The Voice Of The People is the most important and rewarding series of British folk song recordings ever issued." fRoots Magazine
★★★★★ Songlines ★★★★★ Record Collector ★★★★ Q ★★★★ MOJO

Gear Review
Just bought new Vertical
Member since
I am 6'6'' and fairly thin. The XL fits perfect.
Previous review said jacket is not warm, I disagree. I tried this and the Marmot Super Hero on and this jacket is way warmer. The weight on Backcountry is incorrect, this jacket is closer to 2.5 pounds. It is exactly what I was looking for as the SuperHero was not any heavier than my Backcountry soft-shell, this jacket is a for sure step up in warmth.
Highly recommend, great quality.

The days are starting to fall into some semblance of a schedule, albeit a very flexibly-written one. For example, baby is in her best mood in the morning, which means I usually spend that time interacting and playing with her, since she's at her most adorable and responsive. Afternoons are more of a mixed bag: if she's napping well I get some time to work on things, or, more usually, clean things up. If she decides she's not into napping, the day kind of devolves into a cycle of rocking/walking/feeding/whatever quiets baby down. As with every parent before me, I'm sure, the importance of maximizing every scrap of free time becomes utterly paramount.
An Easter Egg Cake for Easter
March 30th, 2013
Ok, this post is going up a little later than I wanted but at least I made it before Easter – why is it when you *have* to get a post up on time that things invariably go wonky? I wanted to share this cake that I picked out from Martha Stewart Living's special Cakes and Cupcakes edition, as it's so apropos for the holiday.

{Cookbook Review} Souvenirs and the Making of Memories
March 18th, 2013
Pineapple carpaccio with lemon sorbet, cilantro granité, pineapple chips, and crystallized cilantro from Souvenirs.
Isabelle is two months old! I can't believe how much she has changed in eight short weeks. It's like the saying, "The days are long, but the years are short." I've always been a nostalgic person. Even though I know there are years and years of joy ahead in discovering my daughter, I'm already feeling the passage of days. She can do so many things now she didn't do before: the little coos she makes when she's curious. Her smiles at me (she's smiling!). The mini push-ups she does when she's on her tummy and trying to lift her head. The way she looks around for me and focuses right on my face – who would have thought that being recognized would evoke such a palpable sense of joy?

A Sunshine-y Cake for Spring
March 7th, 2013
Thanks to everyone who commented on last week's post with their favorite pie. I have about a hundred pie ideas to make now!
The two winners of a copy of Pieography are:
Commenter #3, ladywild
and commenter #6, Sarah! Congratulations! For the rest of you, remember my pie recipe is available on my site.
{Giveaway} My Pie in Pieography
February 26th, 2013
I'm excited to announce the release of Pieography: Where Pie Meets Biography by WWC Press. As the title implies, it's a collection of pie recipes both sweet and savory from 39 women who love food – myself included! I was approached by WWC to contribute a pie recipe and an essay that explored how this pie speaks to our life experiences and our goals.
I was happy to participate in such a heartwarming project, and my contribution to Pieography is my "I Heart Summer" Strawberry and Lemon Verbena Pie. Although it's already a blog post on this site, submitting it for the book and having to write an accompanying piece encouraged me to re-examine the pie and articulate how it represented me and my philosophy. Also, although you can get the recipe here, there are 41 other wonderful pie recipes in the book covering an impressive range of styles – from pot pies to quiches to ice cream pies to galettes. It was also lovely to read the biographies of everyone who created all these pies – such a diverse collection of talented and creative women, and a group I'm honored to be in.
Here's a shot of the back cover featuring yours truly along with some other fantastically accomplished women! I'm truly proud to be part of this project with WWC. And I'm pleased to have a chance to share it with you! I am giving away two copies of Pieography to Dessert First readers!
To enter: Leave a comment below about your favorite type of pie and why. It can be sweet or savory, a fruit pie, quiche, tart – whatever holds first place in your heart. The contest will run until next Wednesday, March 6 and I'll select two winners at random and announce them on Thursday March 7. Good luck, and I hope to read some mouth-watering descriptions in the comments!
Another Take on Sweethearts: Conversation Heart Macarons
February 13th, 2013
Happy Year of the Snake! I know this looks like a Valentine's themed post, but I thought I'd deliver the Chinese New Year greeting first. The first day of the year of the snake was on Sunday the 10th, meaning there was very little time to recover from the New Year dinner gluttony before Valentine's Day came around. If you recall, I had doubts about making my Valentine's dessert idea come to fruition, but yes! it happened. I must be riding some good new-mother karma still…

Mod Review on Dec 10th, 2012
I couldn't figure anything out.
What was I supposed to do? Where was I supposed to go?
Where do I find the weapons? What the hell is up with the pacing and level layout? It's practically a maze!
Don't bother, this made me look at HL-Boom with new respect D:
Mod Review on Nov 29th, 2012
Buggy, unbalanced and littered with seemingly pointless levels, weapons and files (Some of which aren't even used).
The mod should have been beta tested before release, and perhaps should have spent another year or two in development.
As it stands, it's very boring and bland compared to other half-life mods.
Mod Review on Nov 28th, 2012 - 1 person agrees
I remember playing this a long time ago, and it certainly hasn't aged very well.
The level design was simple, yet the pacing and enemy placement was hideous. Most of the time your facing over a dozen grunts who rip you to shreds as soon as you step into a room, making the mod unbearably difficult even on easy settings.
The mod has some potential but besides the interesting perspective of a black ops soldier, there isn't much for me to recommend upon finishing it.
It's meh, and if you can manage to beat the mod on hard, you deserve some sort of medal D:
Mod Review on Nov 25th, 2012
Stunning for the time of release, and very intuitive and unique even today.
While it's on the short side, what the small team managed to accomplish in only a few months is amazing. Give this a try if you want to try something new!
Mod Review on Nov 23rd, 2012
Short and lacking anything that makes it stand out, Dawn is still a decent venture into the half-life world and has some nice locals and zombie combat to keep those looking for a decent challenge on harder settings something to eat up :)
Mod Review on Nov 23rd, 2012
A classic :)
The mod itself has an odd sense of humor (Which isn't a bad thing) and the level design and gameplay are great. There are some hiccups in pacing and difficulty jumps here and there, not to mention installing the mod and making it run properly may be too much for some players (Although the newest patches are easy to apply now), this mod is nothing a Half-life 2 mod fan should miss :)
Mod Review on Nov 18th, 2012
At the moment, there is a lot to improve on.
While the levels are much better detailed, paced and scripted then the last version, there are many problems with the mod.
For starters, the number of enemies are overwhelming. Not to mention the ammo and medkit placements are nearly nonexistent. These problems make the mod VERY difficult even on easy settings for veteran players.
There's a lot of potential here, and I hope the next release amps up the number of ammo and medkit placements.
Mod Review on Oct 7th, 2012
An interesting concept of releasing unfinished maps. Many of them had issues, so I can only assume the creators gave up and worked on better projects.
However, there is fun to be had here, as a few of the maps are interesting and almost made me wish they were indeed finished.
Download, if unfinished projects interest you :)
Game Review on Oct 5th, 2012 - 1 person agrees
I found this rather fun.
There. I said it.
It was fun.
Was it a good game?
Hell no!
Was it a bad game?
No again!
It's a game you turn your brain off to enjoy. It's a guilty pleasure, nothing more, nothing less. I don't rate games by how good I think they are, I rate them by how much fun I had playing them.
It was difficult, crude, riddled with bugs and dated. But I think half the charm playing the game was seeing the game progress through so many different changes in the FPS industry, from vibrant surroundings to derelict and grey sewers.
The DLC was fantastic and was really a tip of the hat to fans of the original Duke Nukem rather then it's 3D sequel, and something like that isn't something you should put down.
Above all, it's been a rough decade with Duke, and it didn't end as well as it should have. For what it is, it's a trip back to the days when FPS's were very interactive considering the technology available (With games nowadays being joyrides of static environments such as COD and battlefield with an over abundance of destruction) and surprisingly difficult fights with varied enemies. It's not gold or a sign from god, nor is it the bane of our existence or the sign of Armageddon. it's a half-finished game that landed in the hands of a team that didn't really know what they were doing, but tried their best regardless.
I think I said enough, You love it, you hate it, or you see it as neither.
It's a guilty pleasure. And those looking for cheeky fun from a time that wasn't as serious should be pleased with this game :)

The First Choice for Install of the 2013
Thursday, December 19th, 2013The Dreamwalls Color Glass Install of the Year goes to First Choice Glass in Raleigh, NC with their installation at Leith Kia in Fayetteville, NC. Kia and General Manager, Danny Williams, decided on the look for the $3 million dollar building and the glass feature wall was an important part of the design. Visible even from the street, it shows off the Kia signature red with sparkle and shine.
My favorite thing about this project is that the glass serves as the main focal point of the car showroom. Specified in a bright "Mars Red", we love the look of the Kia logo in white overlay. These are the signature colors for Kia, and it definitely adds to a young feel in the showroom. "It has been easy to maintain and is beautiful," according to Hugh, the Sales Manager at Leith Kia. The receptionist has had to tell people that it's not plastic, that it's glass, because they can't believe how big it is. First Choice Glass was able to install the panels with the proper combination of specified adhesive and mechanical fasteners, and leaving an expansion gap – which is important, particularly in new construction.
The feature wall is consisting of ten (10) 1/4″ thick Dreamwalls Color Glass panels 33-1/16 x 72-7/16 each, installed floor-to-ceiling behind the main reception desk. Beautiful! We congratulate our 2013 Dreamwalls Install of the Year. It takes an expert installer to create such a beautiful and challenging installation.
Thank you to First Choice Glass and thank you to all the beautiful installations of our products this year: to all the glass markerboards, the heavy glass shower enclosures, the high-definition mirrors, the glass backsplashes,….we thank you. We can't wait to see what creativity 2014 brings!

Macy's Inc. plans to eliminate the former Marshall Field's headquarters in Minneapolis as part of a move to consolidate regional offices and boost sales and cut costs.
As part of the closure, Macy's North chairman and CEO Frank Guzzetta, 62, a former Field's executive who has been focused on reviving the State Street flagship in Chicago, will retire in the spring as the division is melded into Macy's East in New York.
The department store chain said the restructuring will affect about 2,550 workers and save about $100 million a year starting in 2009.
Macy's North in Minneapolis, which is the former Field's division, will be merged into Macy's East in New York and affect about 950 positions. Macy's Midwest in St. Louis, which includes the former Famous-Barr and L.S. Ayres stores, will be combined with Macy's South in Atlanta and that will affect 850 positions. And Macy's Northwest in Seattle will fold into Macy's West in San Francisco, affecting 750 positions.
The regional headquarters are a holdover from the many regional department store chains Macy's acquired when it bought May Department Stores Co. in 2005. In lieu of the regional headquarters, Macy's will set up regional offices in Chicago, Cincinnati, St. Louis and Seattle.
Macy's Chairman and CEO Terry Lundgren said in a prepared statement that the reorganization is aimed at improving sales and earnings and "will speed up decision making and simplify the process of working with our vendors."

Arizona Wildcats retain spot atop national polls
Coach Sean Miller's Arizona Wildcats are the No. 1 team in the nation for the fifth straight week, according to both the AP Top 25 and USA Today Coaches polls.
The Wildcats are coming off a home sweep of the Washington schools, having beaten the Cougars 60-25 on Thursday and the Huskies 71-62 on Saturday.
At 15-0 (2-0), Arizona received all but five first-place votes in the AP Poll and earned 30 of 32 votes in the USA Today Coaches poll. Other first-place vote-getters included Syracuse and Ohio State.
The Wildcats hit the road this week for a pair of tilts with the Southern California schools, starting with UCLA Thursday night.

The new movie The Bucket List -- a film about two men who go and do the things they've always wanted to do before they die -- gets everyone thinking a bit. I mean, if you were in the same sort of situation and money was no object, what would be on your list to do? Where would you go? What would you see?
Seeing as this is a sports blog, let's keep this sports related. If you could go and see any sporting events before you die, what would they be?
Of course, we'd all love to see a Super Bowl -- any Super Bowl. But where? Would heading down to South Florida be ideal? Maybe partying in New Orleans?
We'd all love to go to the World Series too ... and, of course, we'd all love to be at a game in our favorite team's home town. Now, what if I told you that you can pick any stadium but the one of your favorite team? Where would you like to see a World Series game? Yankee Stadium? Wrigley Field? Fenway?
After the jump are some more ideas of sporting things I'd love to see/do:
- UNC-Duke men's basketball game at Cameron Indoor Stadium
- Final round of the Masters
- Screw that: play one round at Augusta
- World Cup Final at Wembley Stadium
- Ohio State-Michigan football game and I get to dot the "i"
- Attend any speaking engagement that involved Dean Smith or John Wooden
- Red River Rivalry (Oklahoma-Texas) at the Cotton Bowl
- Win another fantasy football championship
- Daytona 500
- Opening ceremonies to any Summer Olympics
- Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Finals ... anywhere (but preferably Detroit against Toronto)
- Tailgate before an Auburn-Alabama game. I've heard things.
- Run through one of those paper signs and onto a field. I've seen it done just once: it was the other team.
- Go to the Pro Football Hall of Fame
- The game where Barry Bonds HR record is broken
- Do one of those stupid baseball "dream leagues"
- See a Cubs game at Wrigley Field. And I don't even like them.
- Dunk. Just once.
- Whitewater rafting. Don't know why, but it seems like it'd be cool.
- Take batting practice at Coors Field
- Sky diving
- Attend a championship boxing match
- Be a play-by-play guy at the Final Four ... and tell Billy Packer to shut his pie-hole
- Be a ball boy (uh, or trainer) during a Maria Sharapova-Ana Ivanovic tennis match
- Go to an NHL game and a good ol' fashioned brawl breaks out
- Attend a baseball team's entire spring training
- Take my wife to the Kentucky Derby
There are many, many more that can be thought up ... if you do, please put them in the comments section. Here is one from FanHouse blogger hStephanie Stradley:
The absolutely coolist bucket list thing I've ever done relates to me doing the Ultimate Fan contest stuff. If you were a finalist, you got to run out of the tunnel with a flag right in front of the team. I was a four time finalist, so I got to do that four times. It is a rush. Cheerleaders go ahead of you. The team all geeked up is behind you, and there's a gazillion people in the stands all waiting for the team to come out.
You can see the YouTube of it here.

Georgia Highlands is a 4 year institution.
Not according to their own website.
Founded in 1970 as a two-year institution of the University System of Georgia
, the college is non-residential and maintains six sites in Rome, Cartersville, Marietta, Dallas and Douglasville. In 2011, the Board of Regents approved a sector change to state college, a designation that means GHC can begin to offer
a limited number of baccalaureate degrees. A Bachelor of Science in nursing has been identified as the first such degree. The first class to pursue the BSN will begin classes fall 2013. Other four-year programs that meet the demands of GHCs service area will be added during the next decade.
Might want to focus on getting your undergrad work taken care of before you start getting pie-in-the-sky dreams of a master's degree in physics.
Well that isn't a possibility, Southern polytechnic State University is my only other option. I know that is a 4 year school for sure.

When Iowa State turned the ball over with 0.8 seconds left Wednesday night, trailing 78-76, the Cowboys seemed to finally have control of a key Big 12 win.
Oklahoma State basketball notebook: Cowboys survive frantic finish
Not so fast.
On the ensuing inbounds play, Michael Cobbins fired down the floor, with Le'Bryan Nash called for a foul on ISU's Chris Babb. Initially, officials ruled a 1-and-1 trip to the foul line for Babb, with the opportunity to tie it. And Babb stood there, ready for his first foul shot, when officials gathered and reviewed the play, changing the call to a player-control foul, since the Cyclones never had possession, resulting in an Iowa State inbounds play instead.
"I'm glad they figured it out," said Cowboys coach Travis Ford. "That's good. What a crazy deal. I guess we were a second away form him shooting free throws. The referees were in their spots.
"One of them said, 'Wait a second here.'
"I wasn't sure, but I sure wanted to talk about it. I was trying to get their attention and get them over there. 'Let's talk about it and make sure we're right.'"
Ford said he had the 6-foot-8 Cobbins throw the ball deep, with instructions for someone to bat the ball, making it all but impossible for the Cyclones to get off a shot.
"Throw it in and bat the ball," Ford said. "Make sure somebody touches it. I put Michael in because I didn't want anybody to deflect the pass. I wanted my biggest guy in. Throw it down here and deflect it.
"He did what we wanted, but …"
Meanwhile, Nash was relieved.
"I was mad, I ain't going to lie," Nash said. "We were both pushing each other. I felt like he was holding my arm, I don't know why he called it on me. You can't blame the refs. I shouldn't have put my team in that situation.
"I could have ran up and got it. But I waited until it got to me. I'm glad the other ref talked to him. I should thank that ref."
