Err.... no I'm not. I'm celebrating a day that the Government has said I can have off, and enacting a non-religious tradition of gift giving that my parents instilled apon me.
Nothing about the religious aspects of the holiday take place. Now granted, I did attend a Catholic Christmas mass once, when invited by some family friends, but that is about the only religious thing that has ever happened for me.

Local man suffers stroke after visit to chiropractor
MILWAUKEE—Millions of people use chiropractors and swear by the results.
But one local man said that it was a trip to the chiropractor that cost him his job and his health. Richard Rossert of Nashotah was a successful business man when a trip to the chiropractor to relieve his back pain changed his life forever. Rossert said that he had a neck manipulation performed and afterwards the chiropractor told him that his system was all aligned. After having his neck manipulated by the chiropractor Rossert made it back to his office, but started having problems. "I couldn't get my key in the door. I guess I got it in there, but when I came around my desk I was gone," Rossert said. His secretary, a former nurse, realized that he was suffering symptoms of a stroke and called an ambulance immediately. Doctors said Rossert suffered a vertebral artery dissection, or the tearing of an artery that supplies blood to the brain, and that caused the stroke. Rossert said that he definitely believes the chiropractor caused his stroke. "It happens a lot more than you realize," said Attorney Karl Gebhard. Gebhard has worked on three of these types of cases. Rossert hired him to represent him against the chiropractor. The chiropractor had his license in Wisconsin pulled because of this case. "When I started out I couldn't read or write so I was in therapy for two years. I still can't read or write," said Rossert. He was a carpenter by trade which meant he had to re-learn his trade which meant re-learn the numbers, but even before he got to that point he had to re-learn how to talk," Gebhard said. Rossert tried, but wasn't able to continue running his business so he was forced to close down. Despite numerous studies it's unclear exactly how many strokes have been caused by chiropractic neck manipulations. One study says that there a 1.3 strokes for every 100,000 patients under 45 years old. Another study points to only one stoke in every 1 million chiropractic neck manipulations. CBS 58 spoke with Doctor Scott Bautch from the American Chiropractic Association. "People go to the chiropractor and have heart attacks and have gall bladders and have other things. We see a huge amount of the population," said Bautch. Bautch said that before performing neck manipulations there are cardiovascular tests and other things chiropractors do to find out if a patient may be at higher risk for a stroke. He said that patients are also made aware of the risks. "Of all the treatment options for neck pain chiropractics has been shown to be safe and effective and cost effective," Bautch said. "Chiropractors have the highest satisfaction rates of any primary care doctor," Bautch said. Neurologist John Rothrock who was named one of America's top doctors said that although it's rare, studies point to a definite link between chiropractic neck manipulations and stroke. He said that in many cases it's a patient's bad luck rather than bad health when it happens. "I know what it's like to go through one. I can certainly see why in an unlucky patient it can cause tearing the wall of the vertebral artery and dissection and stroke," Rothrock said. But the chiropractic community insists that neck manipulations are very safe. But, Dr. Bautch said they're always working hard to try and make it safer to prevent strokes and other problems. "The risk is very very low, but the benefits are unproven so why take the risk at all," Rothrock said. Richard Rossert said that he wishes that he hadn't taken that risk. "Somebody asks me you're going to a chiropractor I say you're nuts," said Rossert. |

What Is The South Carolina Olympic Development Program? The South Carolina Olympic Development Program or ODP, is the start of the identification process for the National and Olympic Teams. The South Carolina Youth Soccer Association conducts the program for US Soccer under the jurisdiction of the US Olympic Committee. The purpose of this prestigious program is to identify players on the basis of open tryouts and develop them to represent their state, region, and the United States in soccer competition.
ODP teams are formed in each of the 55 US Youth Soccer State Associations and four regions and are made up of the best players in the various age groups. At the state level players are selected to participate in pool trainings throughout the winter and based on their performance at those trainings, players are then invited to attend state combine.
At the state combine the players who will make up the South Carolina ODP State teams are selected. Those teams, made up of 18 players, then go and participate in the Region III ODP camp, which includes trainings and a tournament of the state teams. From this camp players can be selected as Regional Pool Players and are provided with the opportunities to represent the region in international (overseas trips) and National events. At the National events players are seen by National staff coaches and are eligible for National team selection.
Any soccer player is eligible for consideration in the ODP process provided he or she meets the age requirements for their age groups, which is based on birthdate in a calendar year.
What years are eligible to participate in South Carolina ODP?
For 2011-2012 South Carolina ODP will hold tryouts for players bornin 1995-2001
Players born in 1995-1999 are eligible to make the South Carolina State Team and travel to ODP Region III camp. Players born in 2000-2001 will participate in Their District Team, they will play against the other 2 state districts and may be asked to participate ona state team to compete against other states.
How are players evaluated and selected for the State team?
Tryouts and training session are conducted by coaches who are recognized for their ability to identify and train players with superior skills. All of the coaches are members of the South Carolina ODP staff and their coaching experiences range from club to head college coaches. All coaches have at least a National D license, most have an A license. The coaching staff and selection process is overseen by the South Carolina Youth Soccer ODP Director of Coaching Van Taylor.
Players are evaluated by four major components: • Technique • Tactics • Fitness and Athletic Ability • Attitude
South Carolina ODP is for serious soccer players who have a love for the game and have hopes of playing in college, professionally and for the US National team. EVERY YEAR THE PROGRAM STARTS FROM THE BEGINNING – NO ONE IS GIVEN A SPOT. Players change each year physically and emotionally. Players who may be physically mature at an early age may be surpassed as others mature. Any player can be released and replaced during the process. Although we are looking for the best players, we DO NOT select players from exclusively winning clubs. The focus of the ODP is a player's overall development, not tournament wins.
Players are expected to participate in as many ODP events that they can make, behave responsibly, conduct themselves in a professional matter and always challenge themselves to get better. What are the benefits of participating in South Carolina ODP?
Although there are many good soccer training sources, the ODP process is the one most recognized throughout the United States as the best way to identify top quality players who can perform in any environment and still cope with everyday demands.
The direct benefits for players are: • Development as a player • Quality Instruction from Nationally licensed coaches and special sessions held by professional coaches • Quality competition. You will train and play with the best player's in your age group • Exposure to regional and national team coaches • Opportunities to represent South Carolina, the Midwest and the US in national and international competitions • Exposure to college coaches
South Carolina ODP has seen it's players exceed at the regional and national level with players regularly selected for the Regional Pool and National Pool Events.
What is the Region III Camp?
US Youth Soccer is divided into 4 regions and South Carolina is in Region III. Each region hosts a regional camp for ODP participants each summer. The camps are designed to develop the elite players selected to attend through high-level competition and training. During the training and competition, players who perform at the highest level are identified for possible National team camp. For those players in age groups 1995-1997 a player could be identified to be "held over" for Holdover Camp. The players selected to be "held over" are announced at the closing ceremony for the Region III camp. Players who are held over and perform at the highest level can be recommended for National Team Camp. The 1998 and 1994 age groups are not eligible to be held over but could be invited to a National Team Camp for additional training. For summer 2011, the girls' camp is held in Montevallo, AL, and the boys' camp is held in Tuscaloosa, AL. The teams selected to attend these camps will be announced in mid-April. The cost associated with this camp is estimated to run at $750 per player and includes bus transportation, room and board for the duration of the camp. For players selected to attend Holdover Camp, their room and board is covered, but the parents will need to provide transportation home from the event. Please see the calendar for dates.
What is the Code of Conduct for SCYS ODP?
As a member of our state's program, you are representing South Carolina at all training sessions and games and thus positive attitudes and proper decorum are expected. This applies to parents and players alike. Parents and Players must adhere to the Code of Conduct for ODP. Players and parents are required to sign the "Participants Agreement to Accept and Abide by Rules of the Program." Players who violate the rules of the Code of Conduct will be dismissed from the program immediately. ODP has a Code of Conduct for players and a Code of Conduct for parents. Parents are not allowed to yell from the sidelines to the players, coaches or referees during tryouts, practices or games. Parents will be asked to leave the premises if this occurs. Parents are not allowed to interact with coaches until after teams have been selected. Any questions in regards to tryouts should be directed to SCYS Director of Coaching, Van Taylor (firstname.lastname@example.com).
What are the Player's Expectations?
Players are expected to always give their best effort. The teams are selected based on players' enthusiasm and commitment to excellence and this level that is shown at tryouts is expected to continue throughout the ODP experience. Accepting a position with ODP requires commitment to the program and the process. The following will be continually evaluated from each player:
· Commitment to excellence
· Hard work ethic
· Personal integrity and responsibility – each player must sign the Code of Conduct. Violation of the contract will be dealt with fairly and firmly.
· Attendance – players are expected to attend all training/competitive events and any absences must be documented, as well as approved by the Team Manager, Coach and/or ODP Administrator, Chaz Ballish Regueiro.
· ODP state-wide training dates are scheduled around SCYSA play dates therefore players are expected to attend!
What are the Parents' Expectations?
SCYS ODP appreciates the time and commitment parents make on the behalf of their players. It is the parents' responsibility to check emails and the SCYS ODP website prior to all training dates. Fields can be closed unexpectedly for reasons other than weather. Please pay particular attention to ALL deadlines and instructions for events and activities. It is the parents' responsibility to respond to all correspondence in regards to ODP information and events. Not responding in a timely manner will jeopardize the player's opportunity to participate in an event.
For more details about the South Carolina Olympic Development Program contact Chaz Ballish Regueiro at firstname.lastname@example.com

Here are some links and related resources for Swedish Issaquah:
'Issaquah' posts
April Showers Bring...More Swedish/Issaquah
We're just a few months away from opening stage one of the new Swedish Medical Center. We hope you save the date Saturday, July 9 for our grand opening community event that will include tours, activities, giveaways and fun for the whole family. And, hopefully a lot of sunshine and NO rain! We're combining our event with Highlands Days, so it is sure to be a day full of celebration.
Careers @ Swedish Issaquah
Our new facility in Issaquah will create many career opportunities in Issaquah, as well as at our existing Swedish facilities. In fact, some positions previously not recently available at other Swedish facilities will open up, due to employees accepting new positions in Issaquah. Currently, there are 25 new jobs posted for our new Issaquah Hospital. You can find them at www.swedish.org/careers.
Throughout 2011, new openings will be listed for other Swedish facilities and services (such as our Seattle hospital locations, area physician clinics, and Visiting Nurse Services program) and for our future Issaquah campus, as well as for our freestanding Ambulatory Care Centers in Redmond and Mill Creek. Some of the areas for which we anticipate opportunities early in the year include:
What Opens This July at Swedish/Issaquah?
As a reminder, the new medical center is being opened in two stages. The first stage is the opening of the medical-office building and outpatient center in July 2011.
February Update: We "Heart" the Highlands
This will be a big year for the Swedish project, with the first phase of the medical center opening in July.
We have come a long way in a year. Here's what's happening in February on the construction site:

Happy New Year: A January Swedish/Issaquah Update
What's happening at Swedish Issaquah?
Happy New Year to you and yours! As we enter the mid part of the month, Swedish continues to work at an aggressive pace at the Issaquah construction site.
The exterior finish work will be complete by end of January for both the hospital wings and the medical office building, showcasing a mix of pre-cast concrete, Swiss pearl, metal panel, brick masonry and glass curtainwall.
Interior build-out continues throughout all floors ranging from paint, mechanical and electrical equipment trim, ceramic tile, ceilings and casework installation. Concurrently around the site, ground preparation for landscaping and irrigation systems continues.
Working in a Winter Wonderland: December Swedish Issaquah Update
Work continues at a fast pace at Swedish/Issaquah. Specifically, the crew is enclosing the building with exterior finishes to protect interior work from the cold, windy and wet weather coming our way. Mechanical, plumbing, electrical and drywall work continues within the interior spaces of the hospital wings, while painting and installing ceiling assemblies and floor finishes will finish up on level 1 of the medical office building. Between January 2010 (when major work started) through end of August 2010, construction has generated 709 tons of mixed-waste material, with 643 tons of it diverted to recycling.

Falling in love feels good. It's the excitement of being with that special person who makes you feel great when you're with them. And that's how most romantic relationships begin. But "falling in love" stage isn't enough to sustain a marriage throughout a lifetime together. That takes a maturing love that still delights in the other but also decides to love even when the feelings aren't present.

Delighted recipient
By Millie
from Somerset
Full marks on star quality. Delighted recipient who will use the idea herself in the future. My only gripe is the cost of delivery which I considered to be OTT. However you must not cheapen the contents on quality just sharpen your pencil on delivery costs.

Google, Amazon to Set Up Brick-and-Mortar Shops in Times Square, One Broker Predicts
Soon Times Square may be known for its iconic signage, its assortment of apparel shops like Forever 21 and American Eagle Outfitters, and, erm, Google?!
The vaunted tourist trap may be the perfect location for the web giant to test out a "brick and mortar" entity, said David LaPierre, executive vice president of CB Richard Ellis,.
"Theoretically at some point I envision brands like Google or like Amazon… finding a way to manage and spread, I think, their customer base beyond just the internet," said Mr. LaPierre during CBRE's third-quarter Manhattan retail media breakfast Monday.
"Time Square is a classic, great place to make that be your flagship." Read More

Datebook: May 18 - Rhode Island 1st to Regulate Slavery, 360 Years Ago
Well before the Civil War, Rhode Island established the first law in North America regulating slavery. On this day, as part of the Acts and Orders of the General Court of Warwick, blacks or whites forced to serve another must be freed after 10 years upon arrival in Rhode Island. The fine: 40 pounds (money, not flesh).
While an impressive, and bold move considering the time, the law was never fully enforced and cheap labor prevailed, namely caused by the demands of the sugar and rum market, of which Rhode Island was a cornerstone. It wouldn't be until 1784, when the General Assembly of Rhode Island passed the Gradual Emancipation Act, granting freedom to children born to slaves.
Thank goodness it's Friday, May 18

Chic Florence Hotel Near Major Attractions
September 30, 2011
Hotel Savoy is a true 5 star. Built in 1893 it offers luxury and style in the heart of Florence. It is true Italian style on the outside with a strong touch of contemporary style inside. As a tribute to the designer you will also find images of shoes throughout the hotel on the walls and some sculptures. I was very amazed by this. Several room categories offer balconies and nice views of the plaza. Nice large baths and separate showers. Walk in closets and separate living areas. You can request connecting rooms and overall it's a nice clean hotel with spacious hallways.
The restaurant is among the most popular restaurants in Florence with great views. Dining outdoors is a must. Rocco Forte Hotel also offers a fitness center.
The hotel is very well located and is within walking distance to all major attractions the Duomo is just a few steps away. I would send younger clients here and someone looking to be in the middle of it all. Very chic location is excellent.

text: And the answer is Sara Jean Underwood doing her instagram thing. In my Apocalypse bunker post last week I ruled out Sara Jean as my blonde because I thought she seemed like a bitch. Well I take that back. She's not a bitch. She's just the girl who likes to pretend she's one of the guys a little too much. That's why she's annoying. You know the chick that has a fantasy team and farts. Just gross stuff girl's shouldn't do. Now with that said, she still is an all time blazer. So I'm not really complaining, just saying.

High Res "Deathly Hallows: Part 1" Stills Released
DH FilmThanks to WB, we how have high res versions of the new "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1" stills that were published in the latest issue of Empire Magazine.
Thanks to WB, we how have high res versions of the new "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1" stills that were published in the latest issue of Empire Magazine.
i like these. On oclumencia.co.br they have a picture of – i think a very dishevled Malfoy senior
AWESOMENESS TO THE MAX. Thanks for sharing :)
I believe that should be "Scrimgeour handing Harry the Snitch" and "Lupin verifying Harry at the Burrow".
I love the Evian water bottle under the chair by Scrimgeour's leg. I didn't realize wizards drank Evian. :)
These images are such a tease and look awesome! Soooooo excited to see the movie!!!!!!
Why is that picture called Scrimgeour handing Harry the will? as Phoenix1946 pointed out he is handing him the snitch. And I also think it might very well be Harry walking through Grimmauld Place, not Bathilda's house, in fact I thought I'd already seen it described that way before, but might have imagined that! lol
Great pictures though :D
Ok I found the picture of Grimmauld place, totally different, silly me, it's the climbing the stairs with the wand lit pose again that threw me!!!
With each picture that is released, it makes me wish it were November 19th already!
@Miss Molly – Nice catch. That's hilarious.
Oh my gosh. I cant wait now!
Evian! That's hysterical!!!
Great Pictures, and thanks for pointing out the Evian bottle!
Can't wait to see the movie! Only 76 days, 8 hours, and 33 minutes to go!

The public is cordially invited to participate in the City of Gillette kick off meeting for the Senior/Medical Neighborhood Planning Project. The kick off meeting will be held at the Campbell County Senior Center Dining Room from 4:30 pm to 7:00 pm on August 30, 2012.
City staff as well as consultants will explain the purpose of the project and answer questions that people may have.
The Senior/Medical Neighborhood Planning Project is being carried out to further community development and economic stability. It is the first neighborhood planning effort by the City of Gillette. The City of Gillette has partnered with the Campbell County Memorial Hospital for the $37,500.00 project. The Wyoming Business Council and Campbell County Memorial Hospital provided project funding.
Neighborhood planning focuses on an area larger than a single or group of land uses within close proximity, which are part of an urban community. The purpose of neighborhood planning is to understand and implement what the neighborhood wants to become, what economic role it can play within a city, how it develops as a smaller part of a larger community and what tools are available to further community development and economic stability.
This neighborhood, bounded by Interstate 90, 4-J Road on the east, Highway 14-16 to the north and Highway 50 to the west has had approximately 100 million dollars in public and private investment for development purposes since 2004. The largest single investment has been made by the hospital. Over the past seven years, Campbell County Memorial Hospital has implemented a construction program for a new parking garage, emergency room expansion, a daycare and the addition of two medical treatment towers at the hospital.
During the same time period, other medical and health related development has taken place in the neighborhood. The Wyoming Orthopedic Center, Coal Mine Clinic, Women's Health Center, two dental offices, a general surgery center, a physical therapy office, a vision center, a chiropractic office, and a new medical lab office have all been constructed and are currently in place.
The City of Gillette recognized the transportation needs of the area by partnering with the Wyoming Department of Transportation to reconstruct and extend Burma Avenue which serves the western part of the neighborhood. The construction also included a new overpass across Interstate 90 which connects to Lakeway Road, an arterial road to the south. The Burma Avenue construction project better distributes traffic along arterials in the western side of Gillette and provides more direct access to the hospital and related medical uses in the neighborhood.
Significant monies have been invested by the private sector to build two senior housing apartment structures. The 100 new senior housing units are adjacent to the Campbell County Senior Center. The Senior Center recently underwent a renovation and also added space for its growing clientele. In the same vicinity there is a senior assisted living facility and other apartments for low to moderate income seniors.
As the neighborhood has continued to develop over the past seven years, two significant land uses have emerged in the mixed use area to become part of a predominant development pattern; health care and senior housing. These land uses join with the single family residential and office uses to create economic development opportunity as well as livability potential which assist community development. Together, both enable a vibrant and sustainable neighborhood for residents and business.

Sandy Raulston and Ted Birbilis have lived in the world of art and antiques together for almost three decades. They've sold pieces in old farmhouses and and participated in The Los Angeles Modernism Show. They're particularly skilled with antiques, classifying and valuing entire collections in one easy sweep, and they now preside over the LA Living: Modern to Classic Antiques Show.
At that show, a range of aesthetic movements are represented, from industrialism to folk art. The designers themselves are just as varied, ranging from pop artists to Native American craftsmen. Oil paintings, of colorful landscapes and sepia country churches, hang above a tangle of art in every medium imaginable. There are carved canes, colorful instruments, vases, and furniture, glossy wooden masks and vintage-looking lamps, all curated by Sandy and Ted.
In 1938, Kurt and Max Laemmle, the nephews of Universal Pictures founder Carl Laemmle, opened their very own movie house dedicated to Hollywood and foreign pictures alike. Though it's since grown to encompass seven locations, Laemmle Theaters is still a family-run business that remains dedicated to its original mission.
A mix of blockbuster and art-house flicks are projected digitally into auditoriums with stadium seating, and share showtimes with special events such as premieres and one-night screenings. To spotlight smaller films, the Sneak Preview Club features upcoming movies for free, an easier way to see new releases than changing your name to Steven Spielberg. Complement each cinematic voyage with one of Laemmle Theaters' classic concessions, such as popcorn drenched in real butter.
Throughout Los Angeles, children as young as 2 are honing coordination, social skills, and other life essentials in Super Soccer Stars LA's kid-friendly camps. Each age-specific session is based on curricula designed by both soccer experts and early childhood and behavioral specialists in order to grant little ones with a fun and well-rounded experience in each drill they run and game they play. From dribbling and passing to more general principles such as teamwork, campers will learn skills that will help them succeed beyond the soccer field in the classroom, on the playground, and in the ball-kicking portion of state standardized tests. At the end of each camp day, children show off their new abilities by competing in a mini World Cup.
Whittier Narrows trains and nurtures novice and advanced tennis players with its roster of iTennis lessons, USTA adult league teams, and well-kept courts. Each of Whittier Narrows' 16 courts are painted U.S. Open shades of blue and green to emulate professional play and increase ball visibility, and are fully lighted for nighttime and solar eclipse play. Tennis center memberships entitle players to complimentary perks such as a one-hour drill clinic, a racket demo program, weekly stroke clinics, and free ball machine rental (during off-peak hours), as well as a 10% discount in the pro shop and discounts on classes. After rinsing away sweat and lingering grunts in the men's and women's locker rooms, an airy member lounge invites athletes to relax on a leather couch and enjoy wireless Internet, a flat-screen television, and refreshments.
Cafe 322's homey atmosphere and fare will remind you of your Italian grandmother's dinner table. Try a different lasagna each day ($10.95) with the lasagna de la casa, or opt for the sophisticated mélange of flavors in the fettuccini di spinaci e salsiccia with fresh spinach, Italian sausage, and fresh garlic sautéed in olive oil ($11.95). Cafe 322 also serves up some tasty meatier dishes, such as braised lamb shanks, slow braised so they fall off the bone and directly into that place in your heart reserved for mom, America, and lamb ($14.95). Smaller plates include salads, sandwiches, grilled panini, and burgers. Stars of the gourmet pizza menu include the quatro formaggio (layered with fontina, mozzarella, gorgonzola, and parmesan cheeses, $11.95) and the flavorful grilled chicken pesto ($13.95).

If you prefer to do 25 dailies a day, you certainly don't have time to farm with your gathering profession. Sure, you can pick a node here, a herb there while you do your dailies, but this doesn't justify having the profession if you don't farm.
You are right to prefer buying your ores than farming them. It's what we call opportunity cost.

There's an article in the New York Times this morning that talks about Web Privacy. It seems we value our privacy, but often fail to act in ways that protect it. Reporting on the work of Alessandro Acquisti at Carnegie Mellon, Somini Sengupta writes "…We don't always act in our own best interest…".

Congrats Are In Order!
Lately I've been working on a retrospective of the Guide, and next week you'll hear excerpts from a house tour I recorded with Duo Dickinson in 2008 that led to the creation of the current version, in 2011.
In the mean time, worlds have collided, and I've decided to pay homage. You see, in that first 2011 episode, we ended up at Richter's on Chapel Street – only to discover that the bar, a New Haven institution for years, was about to close.
This is where it all comes together.…
Producer's Blog: Green!
Greener pastures are the new theme here at the Guide—and not just because of St. Paddy's Day. Hearing yesterday's episode, broadcast from Anna Liffey's (New Haven's oldest Irish Pub), you may have noted the sounds of live, authentic fiddle music underscoring our conversation. Perhaps you chuckled at the verbal barbs tossed in our direction by a good-natured, if somewhat inebriated heckler. Or, maybe you experienced a 'Beamish' me up Scotty, déjà vu moment (or two) while listening to Bruce talk about "life's little problems' with our guests Duo Dickinson, Katie…
Jon Crane: What About The Parents?
As an occasional panelist on The Real Life Survival Guide, my role is to "get real."
So here goes.
In our discussion about "surviving" being parents of college aged children our panel covered a wide array of subjects with some depth and much insight. Mostly, we talked about how to help our kids navigate through the college experience and help them grow into adulthood.
It was all appropriate and the children should always be the priority, however, we did not go deeply into how we as parents can survive the…
Duo Dickinson: The Umbilical Dilemma
Everyone of a certain age remembers "In Living Color" – the great 1990's weekly comedy TV show that helped launch the careers of the Wayans family—Kim, Shawn, Marlon, and Dwayne as well as Jim Carrey, Jamie Foxx, and David Alan Grier.
In one skit Jim Carrey plays a teenager who literally has not been disconnected from his mom. Yes, the umbilical cord still projected from his Hawaiian shirt at the belly button, and a 10 foot long, thick umbilical cord went from there up his Boomer Mamma's skirt in permanent…

This time we'll be talking about "Grief and Loss", an issue we've been struggling with since the unthinkable violence in Newtown on December 14th.

I just got back from the big sale at the local nursery, I bought myself a Purple Fountain Grass! It doesn't look anywhere near as pretty as yours, but I'm hoping that it grows quickly (you mentioned that didn't you?).
I also bought a ton of other stuff, mostly perrenials, so I guess I have my work cut out for me. Tomorrow the guy is coming to re-shape our walkways, re-gravel and remove all the @#$^ weeds! I'm so excited!
Thanks for the great tip.
I have had 2 die until a nursery told me to make sure the roots are always cool. So I mulched up over the roots and that seemed to work. Also went you plant a new one you should angle it away from whatever it is growing on so the roots are under most of the growth...that help to keep roots cool. Hope this helps.
Glad you enjoyed your coffee outside, one of my favourite things to do. My family is mostly gone too, son off to work, now that the semester is over it will get even busier in this household. DH is driving a RV back from Toronto, (crazy) he started Friday morning and was already in Regina last night. He does this occasionally (not professional) and I can not share adventures like that with him, absolutley hate driving! He had angioplasty in Dec. and his recovery has been remarkable. So it's just me and daughter, we will do a nice early dinner, maybe find some Patio-Restaurant, Jazzie, I don't have any Honeysuckles. DH built a Pergola last year and we planted Clemantis, it grew so fast and I was really excited but somehow it died , it's really a mystery but we bought an other one this spring ( keep my fingers crossed). Have a great day.
That's great! My purple fountain grass filled in quickly , it's considered a moderate grower but we can expect spectacular foxtail like flower plumes in July/August. They say it's almost impossible to keep over the winter but I am going to try it anyhow (was pricey!).
I'll be interesting to see the progress with our fountain grass, we have to post pics during the summer.

ShowColby: When the Sun Goes Down at Colby College
Everyone knows college is a lot of work. Between classes, homework, sleeping, and meals, it may seem like you have no time to do anything else. But college is definitely not all work and no play. Whether you have an hour or two to take an aerobics class or play a game with friends, or have a whole night to take in an athletic event or a concert in Portland, you can always find time to have fun and relax. Or, when you're completely swamped with schoolwork and can't play, you don't have to stay in your room; there are study groups, help sessions, quiet places, and teachers or peers to lend a helping hand. Colby has so much to offer outside of class -- you'll have a hard time deciding what to do.

Let's talk about your bedroom style. Whether it's the month of February (Valentine's Day) or any other month of the year, you want your bedroom to be a space filled with love and feature a design that supports that love. Right? Ok, here's some tips...
1. Center Your bed. Beds that are crammed into one corner make it hard to get in and out with ease. If you want two to tango–you gotta let the energy flow!
2. Romantic lighting in the bedroom is key: Soft, flattering and romantic light creates mood. Be sure to have mood lighting in the bedroom that can be adjusted from the bed. Whether it's modern wall lights with sophisticated style, a bed-side lamp with dimmable lights or a modern floor lamp. Just be sure that the light is soft, flattering and romantic. Edison-Style light bulbs give an old-timey feel and have an amber glow that are warm and flattering. And colored lamps, like this red, glass pendant lamp or this wire pendant--can create an instant racy and romantic vibe.

3. Candles are a must. Candles emanate heat, the perfect amber light and flicker, and they smell good. Be smart about candle placement (for obvious reasons) but use candles abundantly. My favorite sexy scents are gardenia and citrus.
4. Bring in Fresh Florals: Pinpoint the kind of romance you want to bring into the space when picking out the flowers. Want to have a sweet night? Go with roses. Want to have a spicy night? How about Birds of Paradise? Looking for a cuddly night? Try Irises. In the mood for adventure? Try red poppies.
5. Good music can make or break a romantic mood. My vote goes for a little Brazilian jazz!

I am all for designing a space that is neutral friendly and classic to the core. But usually I need to add some layer of color somewhere in the space. Most likely I will try and add it in the rug, but you could add color with chic and stylish light fixtures, furniture or even just a few colorful home accessories.
My fave are rugs, they're a rooms best friend, didn't you know? They add warmth, personality, color and texture. If you get tired of the rug, swap it to a new room. I'm constantly rearranging my rugs and placing them everywhere.
Above is a living space that is dripping with cool and calm. With one decision to place a bright, southwest inspired rug, the space comes alive. And it doesn't clash with anything else going on in the room.
This rug isn't overly colorful. It has just enough pattern and color to add some texture to this room. It also compliments the pillows and wood tones, bringing the entire room together.
White spaces are showing up everywhere. If you like this trend but still need some color, take advice from this room and add some primary colors in your rug.
Also because they added colorful books to the shelves, the rug pops that much more!
For a classic approach to this trend, use a traditional rug with more muted colors. It still adds personality in a very calm way.

A week ago, we found the perfect secluded modern getaway for Valentine's Day. Today we find seclusion and solace in the big city with Brooklyn NY's Wythe Hotel. From the lobby on, this retro modern design is a lesson in how to tastefully overlay contemporary looks onto time-worn structures.
We love the eclectic look of the dining room at Reynard, the in-house eatery by local restaurateur Andrew Tarlow. We also love how wall lights with modern retro styling can freshen any space in a historically sensitive manner.
Guestroom views look out over the East River onto Manhattan. Furnishings are minimal, classy and classic.
Clad in white tile with a black and white color scheme, the bathroom is gentlemanly in its appeal. The trick to bathrooms? Start with clean, large modern mirrors. Line them with a pair of sconces for nice, even fill lighting.
And of course the best thing about not staying in Manhattan? Putting back a night cap in the 6th floor Ides bar with an honest view of the skyline in the distance.
The price of a weekend in New York is bound to set you back a bit. Alternatively, you can take a few tricks from the hotel's book and spend that vacation-earmarked cash renovating your own home. Think sconces...for the bathroom, bedside, bar or anywhere.

Blending new and vintage is the key to retro modern design. If you have an older home or are just working with existing, older furnishings, have fun finding a eclectic look that works for you.

The fun part about design is that everyone has a style favorite, and often times individuals have to blend their style with their spouse or roommates to create a modern dining room they all love and enjoy.
Today I've created two different boards showcasing varying styles.
Arch Modern White 47-Inch-W Console Table / Kesha Antique Silver with Beveled Glass Round Wall Mirror / HomeBelle 35-Inch-H Set of 2 Transparent Chairs / Possini Chrome 16 1/4-Inch-H Semi Flushmount Ceiling Light
The first one above is very modern, featuring a funky chandelier, sleek console table, and ghost chairs. If you prefer, an elegant drum shade chandelier design would be a great alternative!
The second look below is a mix of rustic, industrial and modern, featuring the rectangular wood table, contemporary chairs, a simple drum pendant and a textured white mirror.

We want to know what look your eye favors! Do you lean toward heavily modern spaces and furniture, or do you like to mix your styles like the second look?
Do tell!

I don't consider myself a glamorous girl, but every now and then some glam comes out and I love it! My favorite way to dress up a room with serious glamour style is by using black and gold.
This combination is dark, bright, chic and fun all at the same time! This room captures what I am talking about pretty well.
The black and gold accents all over the room make it look modern, but classic and oh, glamorous. We can't forget that! It's really easy to find black and gold items in stores these days. The trick is to put these together and watch what happens to your space.
1. Corbett Bangle Gold Tone 12-Inch-W Pendant 2. Anson Gold Leaf with Black 15-Inch-W Side Table 3. Possini Gold Leaf with Black Shade Obelisk Table Lamp
Let's put some of these amazing and chic items to use in a room, shall we?
First this side table. I think I need this side table! It's beautiful and it incorporates the black and gold together perfectly. It would look great in any space, even if you aren't planning on making the whole room gold and black. The table might be enough.
But why stop there? This golden pendant light would be so beautiful hanging above an entry way, don't you think?
Now for this table lamp. Man oh man do I love this lamp! The black and gold go perfectly together. So lovely. I really think I can't do without it. Unique living room table lamps are a great way to achieve any style you're going for.
If you are thinking of going the glamorous gold and black route, I suggest you try it. You'll love it!

TRIGGER WARNING: GRAPHIC ABORTION CONTENT. Longshot presidential candidate to put abortion in your face during Super Bowl
Section 315 of the FCC Telecommunications Act says stations must air ads for candidates for federal office and are prohibited from altering the content. That means they can't refuse to run political ads even if the ads contain material the stations would ordinarily reject.
Obama and the evangelicals and Catholics who voted for him in 2008 are the main targets of Terry's ad, but anti-choice hopefuls including David Lewis, who is vying for Republican House Speaker John Boehner's Ohio seat, and Angela Michael, who is challenging Rep. John Shimkus, R-Illinois, are running similar ads in their districts.
He estimated he has raised about $40,000 so far and, ideally, would like to see the ads air in more than two dozen cities spanning seven states.

► Mutations in zebrafish lta4h result in hypersusceptibility to mycobacterial infection ► LTA4H activity orchestrates the balance of pro- and anti-inflammatory eicosanoids ► Excess Lipoxin A4 production inhibits TNF induction during infection ► In humans, heterozygosity at the LTA4H locus protects from tuberculosis and leprosy
Exposure to Mycobacterium tuberculosis produces varied early outcomes, ranging from resistance to infection to progressive disease. Here we report results from a forward genetic screen in zebrafish larvae that identify multiple mutant classes with distinct patterns of innate susceptibility to Mycobacterium marinum. A hypersusceptible mutant maps to the lta4h locus encoding leukotriene A4 hydrolase, which catalyzes the final step in the synthesis of leukotriene B4 (LTB4), a potent chemoattractant and proinflammatory eicosanoid. lta4h mutations confer hypersusceptibility independent of LTB4 reduction, by redirecting eicosanoid substrates to anti-inflammatory lipoxins. The resultant anti-inflammatory state permits increased mycobacterial proliferation by limiting production of tumor necrosis factor. In humans, we find that protection from both tuberculosis and multibacillary leprosy is associated with heterozygosity for LTA4H polymorphisms that have previously been correlated with differential LTB4 production. Our results suggest conserved roles for balanced eicosanoid production in vertebrate resistance to mycobacterial infection.

Juan Pablo Montoya's rousing final stint ended in historic victory Sunday for his team in the 51st Rolex 24 sports-car endurance race at Daytona International Speedway / Jerry Markland Getty Images
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. â?? In racing, teammates aren't required to be friendly. In fact, a bit of long-ago friction sometimes is beneficial.
That theory was proven Sunday by Juan Pablo Montoya and Scott Pruett, who overcame past differences to help their team claim a record-setting victory in the 51st running of the Rolex 24 endurance sports-car race at Daytona International Speedway.
Montoya, the NASCAR Sprint Cup and former Formula One and IndyCar driver, turned in a spirited yet patient final stint that ended with a victory that let Pruett, who was hobbled by an ankle injury, tie the Rolex 24 record for most career victories at five. The effort by Montoya, Pruett and teammates Memo Rojas and Charlie Kimball also gave team owner Chip Ganassi a fifth Rolex 24 win.
Montoya and Pruett aren't far removed from an infamous moment during a NASCAR Nationwide Series race in Mexico in 2007. There, Montoya spun Pruett en route to his first NASCAR victory, a move Pruett called "the dirtiest, nastiest move I've ever seen by a teammate."
After Sunday's effort, which tied Pruett with Hurley Haywood for career wins in the historic race, the two chatted amiably. The negative history of the Mexico race, it seems, was trumped by the positive history that Montoya helped create for Pruett.
"If (the Mexico race) ever comes up, we just laugh about it," Pruett said. "I'm not going to say he didn't really mean to do it, but (the Rolex 24) is one of those things you really just want to go win. We've had so much success here driving together. I was excited to have him back as part of the team. ... A lot of people look at him in a different light than the way he is, but he's very talented."
Montoya held the drama â?? and Pruett's record â?? in his hands late in the race. With 7 minutes left, he was forced to pit for fuel, his team uncertain if its primary challenger, Max Angelelli in the No. 10 Wayne Taylor Racing Corvette Dallara DP, would himself have to pit for fuel to get to the finish.
The Ganassi team also was concerned about the No. 60 Michael Shank Racing Riley/Ford driven by AJ Allmendinger.
"We were worried because we thought they might be able to make it to the end on fuel," Montoya said. "We knew we were going to have to push, so I pushed like crazy."
When Angelelli drove to the pits 2 minutes after Montoya emerged, the No. 01 car was in front. Montoya held the lead to the finish, winning by almost 22 seconds.

Ken Wilber's Integral TheoryIntegral theory refers to the systematic holistic philosophy developed originally by Ken Wilber, and more recently incorporated with the Spiral Dynamics theory of Don Beck. It is an all-encompassing evolutionary theory that addresses all aspects of consciousness studies (as well as such diverse fields as ecology and politics.) Integral theory builds upon the ideas of previous integral thinkers like James Mark Baldwin, Jürgen Habermas and Jean Gebser, but also contains many new elements. Wilber intends to break away from metaphysics to develop a theory of spiritual evolution that is acceptable to the modern secular world. |
There's more to evolution than a little DNA.
Stuart Davis
"The mystics ask you to take nothing on mere belief. Rather, they give you a set of experiments to test in your own awareness and experience.
The laboratory is your own mind, the experiment is meditation."
Ken Wilber

Work on yourself, your relationship with others and on global issues.
Compared with the Chakras:
(stage 4 is non-dual, so all-encompassing)
note: States are free, Stages/Levels are earned.
The Lines of development are several areas of intelligence to increase so one evolves towards higher consciousness. Over two dozen have been observed.
One can be highly developed cognitively (cerebrally smart) without being highly morally developed
(as in the case of Nazi doctors). However, Wilber acknowledges, you cannot be highly morally developed
without the pre-requisite cognitive development. So not all of the developmental lines are ontologically
These lines are developped at levels pre-conventional (egocentric), conventional (ethnocentric),
post-conventional (worldcentric), integrated (cosmocentric)
These are valid distinctions that are not covered under Wilber's other categorizations.
Masculine/feminine (see table), the nine Enneagram categories, and Jung's archetypes and typologies,
among innumerable others, are all valid types in Wilber's schema. Wilber makes types part
of his model in order to point out that these distinctions are different from, and in addition
to the already mentioned distinctions: quadrants, states, levels/stages and lines.
"In fact, at this point in history, the most radical, pervasive, and earth-shaking transformation would occur simply
"In other words, the real problem is not exterior. The real problem is interior. The real problem is
how to get people to internally transform, from egocentric to sociocentric to worldcentric
consciousness, which is the only stance that can grasp the global dimensions of the problem in the
first place, and thus the only stance that can freely, even eagerly, embrace global solutions."
"Global consciousness is not an objective belief that can be taught to anybody and everybody, but a subjective transformation in the interior structures that can hold belief in the first place, which itself is the product of a long line of inner consciousness development."
"The more we emphasize teaching a merely Right-Hand map of systems theory or a Gaia Web of Life, instead of equally emphasizing the importance of interior development from egocentric to sociocentric to worldcentric, then the more we are contributing to Gaia's demise."
"Saving the biosphere depends first and foremost on human beings reaching mutual understanding and unforced agreement as to common ends. And that intersubjective accord occurs only in the noosphere. Anything short of that noospheric accord will continue to destroy the biosphere."
"In other words, all of my books are lies. They are simply maps of a territory, shadows of a reality, gray symbols dragging their bellies across the dead page, suffocated signs full of muffled sound and faded glory, signifying absolutely nothing. And it is the nothing, the Mystery, the Emptiness alone that needs to be realized: not known but felt, not thought but breathed, not an object but an atmosphere, not a lesson but a life."
"We move from part to whole and back again, and in that dance of comprehension, in that amazing circle of understanding, we come alive to meaning, to value, and to vision: the very circle of understanding guides our way, weaving together the pieces, healing the fractures, mending the torn and tortured fragments, lighting the way ahead - this extraordinary movement from part to whole and back again, with healing the hallmark of each and every step, and grace the tender reward."
"There is arguably no more important and pressing topic than the relation of science and religion in the modern world. Science is clearly one of the most profound methods that humans have yet devised for discovering truth, while religion remains the single greatest force for generating meaning. Truth and meaning, science and religion; but we still cannot figure out how to get the two of them together in a fashion that both find acceptable."
"The Realization of the Nondual traditions is uncompromising: There is only Spirit, there is only God, there is only Emptiness in all its radiant wonder. All the good and all the evil, the very best and the very worst, the upright and the degenerate— each and all are radically perfect manifestations of Spirit precisely as they are. There is nothing but God, nothing but the Goddess, nothing but Spirit in all directions, and not a grain of sand, not a speck of dust, is more or less Spirit than any other."
"Prana is implicate to matter but explicate to mind;
mind is implicate to prana but explicate to soul;
"The single greatest world transformation would simply be the embrace of global reasonableness and
I personally recommend the Audiobook by Sounds True called "Ken Wilber - Kosmic Consciousness"
Self & Consciousness
e.g. S. Freud
Brain & Organism
e.g. B.F. Skinner
e.g. H-G. Gadamer
e.g. K. Marx
The simplest categorization that Wilber uses contains four levels:
Waking state
Alpha & Beta Waves
Nature Mysticism
Buddhist Nirmanakaya
Dream state
Theta waves
Diety Mysticism
Buddhist Sambhogakaya
Deep Sleep state
Delta waves
Void Mysticism
Buddhist Jnanadharmakaya
Peak state
Absolute Mysticism
Buddhist Svabhavikakaya
soul is implicate to mind but explicate to spirit;
and the spirit is the source and suchness of the entire sequence."
Ken Wilber
Which means you have a gross, suble, causal and non-dual body for each of those states.
(eg. there is no gross body in dreamstate, every state has a body)
Another scheme describes the ethical developmental line:
Carol Gilligan's 'Selfish' stage
Gilligan's 'Care' stage
Gilligan's 'Universal Care' stage
Gilligan's 'Integrated' stage
stage 1
chakras 1, 2 & 3
food sex & power
stage 2
chakras 4 & 5
relational heart & communication
stage 3
chakras 6 & 7
psychic & spiritual
You have access to all states in whatever Stage/Level you are at, but not to all stages in each state.
The Stages/Levels are explained next.
1 hatching of the physical self
2 birth of the emotional self
3 birth of the conceptual self
4 birth of the role self
5 the worldcentric or mature ego
6 Bodymind integration of the centaur - Realms of the superconscious
7 Psychic - Shamanistic - Animistic
8 Subtle - Saintly - Diety & Archetypes
9 Causal - Sagely - Non-Dual
10 Integrated Reality of all levels, states, conditions
transcends all, includes all (not really seperate of 9)
Spiral Dynamics is a theory of human development introduced in the 1996 book Spiral Dynamics by Don Beck and Chris Cowan.
The book was based on the theory of psychology professor Clare W. Graves and Ken Wilber has popularized these ideas in a series of books.
It will help you understand how and why the hell people are acting like they do.
here's one overview, you need to read several links to do the theory justice though
I'll make my own table soon
Archaic -> Magic -> Mythic (traditional) -> Rational (modern) -> Pluralistic (post-modern) ->
Ken Wilber
- Cognitive - Kinesthetic - Spiritual - Aesthetic - Musical - Karmic - Interpersonal - Moral - Worldview -
- Psychodynamics - Needs - Psychosexual - Values - Affective - Logical-Mathematical - Self-identity - ...
You don't have to excell in all of the lines, however research has shown some crosstraining accelerates development.
So to say "I don't have time to develop several" isn't correct, actually you should say "I don't have time to NOT develop several."
eg. people observed who just did vipassana meditation, did not accelerate as quickly as people who did vipassana combined with bodybuilding.
Cognitive: Different points of view, philosophy, etc
Spiritual: Meditation eg. Vipassana
Psychodynamics: Unconscious shadow issues
eg. Psychotherapy, Rebirthing technique, Sedona Method
Kinesthetic: Body Training: eg. Yoga, Bodybuilding, Pilates, Tai Chi
research has proven that a trained body sets back the Aging markers,
not only that but too much running increases the Disease markers of the body
so keep in shape but don't push it.
Aestethic: self-expression, beauty, art, felt meaning
Cognitive: awareness of what is
Emotional/affective: full spectrum emotions
Interpersonal: how i socially relate to others
Moral: awareness of what should be
Needs: Maslow's needs hierarchy
Psychosexual: eros (gross to subtle to causal)
Self-identity: who am i, loevinger's ego development
Spiritual: spirit as unfolding, not just as ground or highest stage
Values: what's most important, clare graves & spiral dynamics
Woman awareness/witnessing
radiance/shining see the whole picture
sees the details individualism
relationships & emotional intelligence holistic-detached
relational/tactile wants to look
wants to touch/to be seen consciousness
light power-autonomously
power-socially my way or the highway
this way or I won't talk to you
"The integral approach is committed to the full spectrum of consciousness as it manifests in all its
extraordinary diversity. This allows the integral approach to recognize and honor the Great
Holarchy of Being first elucidated by the perennial philosophy and the great wisdom traditions
in general...
The integral vision embodies an attempt to take the best of both worlds, ancient
and modern. But that demands a critical stance willing
to reject unflinchingly the worst of both
as well."
if everybody truly evolved to a mature, rational, and responsible ego, capable of freely participating in the open
exchange of mutual self-esteem. There is the 'edge of history.' There would be a real New Age."
soul is implicate to mind but explicate to spirit;
and the spirit is the source and suchness of the entire sequence."
pluralistic tolerance - the global embrace of egoic-rationality (on the way to centauric vision-logic)."

Serves 4
Need to run to a yoga class or drop the kids at practice? Don't skimp on dinner; all you need is 15 minutes for these quick turkey tacos. Let your family round them out with their favorite toppings—try grated sharp Cheddar, sliced avocado, and finely diced sweet or red onion.
In a small dish, whisk the chipotle Tabasco, tomato paste, and 2 Tbs. water. Heat the oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring very frequently, until lightly browned, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the garlic, chili powder, and cumin and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Add the turkey and sprinkle with 1 tsp. salt. Cook, using a wooden spoon to break the meat into small pieces, until just cooked through, about 3 minutes. Stir in the tomato paste mixture and let cook until the liquid is almost absorbed, 1 to 2 minutes.
Off the heat, stir in the cilantro and season to taste with more salt if needed. Serve folded in the tortillas with your favorite taco toppings.
If you've got more than 15 minutes, serve with Mexican Tomato Rice & Beans.

by Fabulous1, 8/12/2013Quick and delicious, even a touch of liquid smoke could be added.
by sandya95372, 5/30/2013Didn't seem to have as much depth of flavor that a "5-star" rating would permit, but good.
by frenchfoodie, 2/19/2013This is a great recipe - used regular tabasco sauce and still came out great. I do have to adjust the seasonings for kids as it is a bit spicy. We use this now instead of the packaged taco mixes and it is much more flavorful!
by capsaiCyn, 8/7/2012We really enjoyed these - we topped them with avocado and cheese as suggested. The chipotle Tabasco sauce added a really nice flavor.
by twood, 4/9/2011Great Tacos and very easy to make! Will definitely be a go to quick meal for me.
by zippy297, 4/17/2010Excellent taste and very easy to make. I omitted the extra salt and did not miss it a bit. Would definitely make this one again
by plutodrive, 4/29/2009This is very easy and tasty. I love this recipe. I can't eat avacado so I used sliced radishes instead and they are good as well.
by cookslots, 2/23/2009I serve this as a salad with some refried beans, guacamole, and heated and broken taco shells. I have made it with the chipotle tabasco as well as the jalapeno (green pepper sauce) variety. Both are tasty. The taco meat is far superior to the envelope of seasoning mix and almost as easy. A satisfying, easy and quick weeknight meal.
by zonker, 1/20/2009The sliced avocado is my favorite part of this recipe.
by jmj56, 10/24/2008Quick and easy. Kids loved it. Healthy. That's a five star "soccer night" meal!
by whatscooking, 10/4/2008These are tasty tacos and very easy to prepare. See my pictre of them at www.theoutdatedkitchen.blogspot.com
