Happy Wednesday! How are you? Mid-week already!
Yesterday when I was driving back from home I saw a billboard from "Lestoil" (cleaning product) that has bothered me for a while now. I've seen this ad before, and every time I see it I think that it's so wrong, it's a stereotype and I feel kind of angry. It says "who would've thought that together they'll get along so well, the union of power and fragrance" From the image you could see the woman it's either a doctor or a business woman, with a tattooed man. So what?, you might ask. Well, I think is a stereotype of society that a person with tattoos is wrong, or an evil person who can't be with a professional. It can also be interpreted as the POWER of man, and the fragrance of woman. The stereotype is also in the phrase that is judging a relationship between these two "different" persons.
Can't it be the tattooed man the doctor who saved your life, and now you are judging him by some ink? Can't the woman be the POWER and the man the fragrance. But even their clothes are part of it, she is the delicate woman, while he has this "masculine strong" look.
This ad just remembered me Arman's discussion on he/she thinks food and gender stereotypes. In Arman's post I commented him how I would love to see an ad of a woman eating a burger or a man eating a salad. Why are we so ruled by stereotypes of beauty, relationships, culture, gender roles, and everything around?Source
Advertising certainly comes from our culture and society. Someone has the idea, but we accept it and embrace it. Ads will sell you what happiness is, or the stereotyped idea of happiness. A thin women, a man full of muscles, the sports are related to man, while cleaning products to women. Water and salads to a woman, burgers and fries to a man.Source
Stereotypes are everywhere you look on advertising, and they make me feel sad and angry. Our society has evolved so much in certain ways, but it's definitively stuck in time with stereotypes.
Btw: watch Killing Us Softly, a video documentary on gender representation in media.
Now tell me, what are your thoughts?
I'm leaving you all because, although I can write a 100 pages essay about the topic, I have to work now. I'll see ya later! Hope to hear from you!

That's seems to be the way God always does it, puts the ball in our court and waits for us to make the first move. That's why step two is before step three, I have to believe first, and only then can it happen.
The same seems to be true with forgiveness. God does not require me to "feel" like forgiving, only that I forgive! By doing so, by taking that first step -- faking it until I make it even --then God is able to give me a forgiving heart.
Freeing Myself From the BurdenAnd that to me is what forgiveness really is, not a feeling that I can will myself to have, but a gift from a power greater than myself. It's so typical of the Al-Anon program that by forgiving some wrong or hurt or abuse I am not enabling someone else to continue in the behavior, I am freeing myself up from the burden of unforgiveness, bitterness, and resentment. I am doing what is best for me!
What the other person does with my forgiveness is not my problem, or any of my business. I just have to do my part right and Let Go and Let God handle the rest!

Covenant Medical Center is facing possible layoffs. The hospital is in the process of cutting its operational budget by $40 million. The budget is being reduced for a number of reasons, but mainly because reimbursements from programs like Medicare are not making up for the actual costs of medical procedures. Covenant says if layoffs are necessary they will affect less than 3% of total staff. But still, that's about 200 people.
Medicare cuts aren't just affecting hospitals here. The cuts, which took effect October 1st, are plaguing health care providers nationwide.
"Hospitals and health care providers will be in trouble for quite some time because the health care system in the U.S. is in trouble. Therefore, things that happen at Covenant are partly a reflection of what's happening all over with the very poor way the American health care system is organized," says Texas Tech health care policy expert Dr. Clarke Cochran.
Dr. Cochran says that one way to fix this problem is to develop more realistic payment formulas in Medicare, Medicaid, and children's health insurance programs. Ultimately, Dr. Cochran feels we need a fundamental restructuring of the entire health care system.

Summer 2012 Rug Preview
October 13, 2012-- Home Textiles Today,
The Rug Market America's latest additions to its Resort collection of weather-resistant, UV-coated polyester rugs for the outdoors and indoors include contemporary over-sized patterns like Suzani, seen here, as well as others like Moroccan Tile and Kiwi Fruit.
Surya Inc.'s Lybra collection is a new addition to the company's Artistic Weavers division. Made to look modern yet timeless, it features a chevron pattern originally found on ancient pottery at the palace of Knosis in Crete.
Company C takes Indian-and English-inspired paisley looks of yore and reinterprets them in modern-day hues on its new High Country collection. A series of intricate swirls, teardrops and richly colored paisleys are depicted in bold, over-scaled designs that are less traditional and more artistic than earlier similar styles - as seen here in the Devonshire pattern.
Kas Rugs' new Optic collection comprises shag styles that are hand-tufted of multi-textured polyester and are manufactured in India. There are six designs in total, including this one called Jewel-tone Spiral, and three area rug sizes.
Safavieh's new Beach House outdoor rug collection offers a range of patterns, from Oushak to Peshawar to Sumack motifs, that are enhanced with a polypropylene, four-color antiqued-look construction from Turkey.
Jellybean is introducing a series of new seasonal fall/winter designs by Challis and Roos. Made in a 21-by-33 size, these rugs are machine washable and made from 35% recycled materials in a polypropylene and acrylic blend. Their construction is hand hooked for indoor or outdoor use and they are made in China. Seen here is the Autumn Colors arboreal pattern.
Couristan has arranged a fresh bouquet of colorful and over-sized contemporary floral patterns with its new Botaniqué collection. Hand-crafted of New Zealand blended wool in a cut and loop pile, each rug is finished with a special tip-sheared technique that is done by hand. Colors include coral, cranberry, teal, khaki, and sage.
cmi uses bright seasonal colors and subtle style details to give flair to its new Outdoor Tweed rectangle rug collection. It comes in 14 different color variations, including this bright blue and green combination, and features a contoured shape that works for outside as well as indoor living spaces. These rugs - which range in size from accent through 12-by-15 - are made in the United States of 100% polypropylene for easy care and cleaning and are stain and fade resistant.
Kaleen's new Habitat collection feels right at home with its assortment of patterns and colors - like Salty Leaves seen here - that are made to reflect a more active lifestyle that invites the expansion of indoor living space to the outdoors. UV treated against fading and water protected, these hand-made rugs are made in China of 100% multiple-ply polypropylene and feature a non-skid backing.
Shaw Living's latest addition to its shag program is the new Mirabella collection, which employs current trends in both color and yarn development. An ombre space-dyeing technique allows for each color to shift and blend, creating many shades within each rug. They are all machine woven in the United States with Shaw's own recyclable EverTouch soft nylon and come in seven sizes ranging from accent to area.
Rizzy Home is beckoning the Highlands with this new India-made hand-tufted collection of 100% wool rugs that come in accent through room-size dimensions as well as rounds and runners.
Karastan is introducing more rugs to its Bellingham collection, including new wool styles - this one titled Britton, an overall traditional pattern with accents of gold, salmon and leaf green on a cream background. It is woven domestically of premium fully-worsted New Zealand wool on Wilton (Van de Wiele) looms.
Ebisons Harounian's Kismet collection spans 100% cotton Dhurries from India. Designed with summer fun in mind, from sunrooms to beach settings, these rugs come in 4-by-6 to 6-by-9 sizes.
Fab Habitat is showing its Lhasa orange-and-violet rug, a new addition to the eco-friendly company's non-skid soft floor covering offerings. Made in line with fair trade principles, Fab Rugs are made of recycled plastic straws tightly woven together.
Kalaty Rugs' Artisan Collection, seen here in the sapphire colorway, is a lively assemblage of traditional motifs and patterns with narrow borders for a more transitional appeal. Each piece is hand knotted of 100% hand-spun wool.
Jaipur Rugs is expanding its Coastal Living collection with new hand-hooked 100% polypropylene styles for indoor and outdoor use. New looks take their styling cues from the ruggedly chic aesthetic of a casual seaside lifestyle - such as this piece called Wave Hello.
Capel Inc. gives a regal air to its line with the addition of the new Eminence collection, which is hand-knotted in India and made of wool. Available colors include charcoal, red, ivory, and chocolate, the latter seen here.
Momeni's new Suzani collection is inspired by the tribal Central Asian embroidered textile style by the same name. These rugs are made of 100% wool in a hooked construction.
Oriental Weavers USA takes an exotic trip to Bali with this new grouping of neutral-colored rugs - in shades of ivory, cocoa, cool grays, and blues - accented with pops of bright gold. Made in Egypt, these rugs are machine-woven in polypropylene and are made in a textural loop construction for added surface interest.

Q. My blood level of vitamin D (16) is very low. A few years ago I was prescribed 50,000 IUs once a week, but I had to quit after just one month. It caused severe acid reflux that took me several months to get under control.
I'd feel a lot better if I could get my vitamin D levels up, but how can I manage that with my hypersensitive stomach? Using acid suppressors over a period of time creates a rebound reflux that really makes things worse. I'd appreciate any suggestions you can offer.
A. With such a low level of vitamin D in your body, you would probably feel better if you could bring it up. Low vitamin D has been linked to asthma, infections, depression, joint pain, heart disease and high blood pressure, among other problems.
You might want to try a lower dose of vitamin D3 to see if you can tolerate it. The earlier medication you took was vitamin D2. Vitamin D3 is available OTC in doses such as 1,000 or 2,000 IU.
Now that spring is here, you might also want to get 15 or 20 minutes a day of sun exposure. We are sending you our Guide to Vitamin D Deficiency for more details on the pros and cons of this essential nutrient. We also describe the appropriate levels of 25-hydroxyvitamin D, the test that showed your body is so low in this vitamin.
Although vitamin D is not supposed to cause side effects, you are not the only person to report difficulties, particularly with the high-dose once-a-week regimen. Anyone else who has had a reaction to vitamin D may report it in the comments below.

THE DALLES, Ore. (KNOE 8 News/AP) - Authorities in Idaho are slowly allowing residents living near a 160-square-mile wildfire fire to return home.
A mandatory evacuation order has been lifted for the resort towns of Hailey, Ketchum and Sun Valley, Idaho.
Meanwhile, strong winds have helped a wildfire in Oregon to grow to nearly 8 square miles. Some buildings were evacuated Monday near the Columbia River city of The Dalles, and other residents are on standby to leave.

I'm not sure how much draft-related conversation has occurred on SCH, but several NHL.com writers (take this with a grain of salt, of course) have predicted that the Hawks will select Tomas Jurco with the 18th overall pick.
The rundown:
- Born December 28, 1992 in Slovakia, 6'2", 193 lbs
- Jurco is a right wing (shoots left), and patterns his game after Hossa.
- He is known for his YouTube puckhandling wizardry, but seems to resent this, and has said that he isn't "a clown" (source: Fox News)
- Central Scouting has him listed as the 20th North American skater overall
- A member of the 2011 Memorial Cup Champion Saint John Sea Dogs (QMJHL)
- Missed the Sea Dogs' training camp to finish school in Slovakia, and had a slow start to his season. Eventually, he was able to score 31 goals and 56 points in 60 games. In the playoffs, he scored 6 goals and 18 points (in 19 games).
Jurco sounds like he has the potential to be an effective NHL playmaker. His craftiness with the puck (the real deal, not the YouTube version) sounds Kane-esque to me. Are there other positional needs that the Hawks organization needs to fill? Are you guys familiar with any other draft picks? Discuss!

Assange safer in Stockholm than the UK, Bob Carr says
Foreign Minister Bob Carr has said there is no evidence to support the claim Julian Assange would face extradition to the US from Sweden, stating Assange would be safer from extradition in Stockholm than the United Kingdom.
THE proposition that the United States intend to extradite Julian Assange is "ludicrous" according to US Ambassador Jeffrey Bleich.
"There is the sense that the United States are pursuing Julian Assange. Julian Assange was in London living freely for two years. If the United States had wanted to extradite him they could have done so," said Ambassador Bleich.
Foreign Minister Bob Carr has also dismissed the risk that Assange will be further extradited to the US if extradited to Sweden as "sheer fantasy".
"The Sweds have won in the UK courts. It's nothing to do with WikiLeaks. It's about a criminal allegation made in Sweden and that's why he's in the Ecuadorian Embassy."
During the ABC program Q&A, Senator Carr repeatedly insisted that Assange being in the Ecuadorian Embassy was a matter between the Swedish Courts and Assange, not the USA.
Assange was granted asylum at the Ecuador Embassy in London on the grounds he was at risk of extradition to the US to face conspiracy charges if removed to Sweden. Sweden is seeking his extradition for questioning regarding sexual assault allegations.
Ecuador's foreign minister, Ricardo Patiño endorsed Assange's fears of extradition to the US when it was announced in June 2012 that Ecuador had decided to grant Assange diplomatic asylum.
Patiño cited "strong evidence" that Assange faced possible "retaliation by the country or countries that produced the information," noting that such retaliation "may endanger [his] safety, integrity, and even his life."
According to Carr, the "conspiracy" that if extradited to Stockholm, Assange will be then be extradited to USA is unfounded. In fact, Carr says that Assange will be safer in Sweden than in the Ecuadorian Embassy in London.
Based on recent efforts made by the Australian government to ensure Assange is treated with due process by the Swedish courts, Senator Carr stated that Sweden had replied by saying that it is their policy that they "never extradite someone on a matter related to military or intelligence."
"If the Swed's had him in Stockholm he'd been even more…harder for the US to extradite, if that's what they wanted to do than he's been for the last two years in the United Kingdom," says Senator Carr.
Senator Carr also said that despite Australia having no legal standing on the issue he has offered to help the British and Swedish governments find a diplomatic solution to this ongoing problem.
2 Comments
the aussies have provided military bases for the U$A. they will not protect julian in any meaningful way.
Dear Senator Carr:
I am writing to thank you for your brave stance against that dreadful Mr. Assange and his horrid WikiLinks. In my three and a half decades as a psychiatric social worker, I have never seen such an advanced case of paranoia as that exhibited by Mr. Assange.
According to the DSM-IV, paranoia is characterized by suspiciousness and mistrust of others, self-referencing, bearing grudges, isolated withdrawal, interpreting others' actions as hostile, and a tenacious sense of personal right. Paranoid individuals think they are in danger and look for signs of that danger.
Consider, for example, the so-called "Collateral Murder†video released by LikiWeaks. The United States military is run by white Christian men who speak English. They are good. The "victims†are dark-skinned people who speak a foreign language and do not accept Jesus Christ as their personal saviour. Therefore they are bad, as evinced by their bringing children onto a battlefield. This "footage†is clearly a video game.
Mr. Assange seems convinced that the United States government has subpoenaed TwinkyLinks supporters before a "secret grand jury,†and has a "secret indictment†against him. If they were secret, how could he know about them?
Mr. Assange also insists that representatives of Australia and the United States talk about him and RinkyDinks at their meetings. As if they had nothing better to do! The belief that people are talking about you behind your back is a classic symptom of paranoia.
As Prime Minster Gillard has pointed out, there is no moral purpose to the documents released by TiddlyWinks. No self-respecting Australian should vote for a man who roams the world in his yacht, extracting thousands of pounds from clueless followers, condomlessly seducing women, molesting young girls, and hacking into grandmothers' bank accounts.
I remain your most humble and obedient servant,
Sophie Goldstein, MSW (ret.), DSFA

X- Factor's Tara Simon Shooting The Video For Her Single "Walk Away", At Our House!
Rome, GA- Tony Batman's A Entertainment News- Some days are just lucky days and Sunday was one of those lucky days for us here at the A Entertainment News. It's no secret about our love for all kinds of music around here, so when X-Factor singing sensation Tara Simon walked into the house we were pretty excited. Tara and her crew were shooting the music video for her new single "Walk Away" in Atlanta when a timing snafu made it necessary for the shoot to go somewhere else, somewhere with a huge house, a wide open back yard, and a beautiful pool area. Well the make up artist in the crew knew Georgia Girl who just so happens to have a house just like the one described above.
Within an hour we were right in the middle of a music video shoot, and loving every moment of it. We regret to report that we did not watch Tara Simon, or anyone else for that matter on the X-Factor this year. Although it seems like a great show, we just have not had time to sit down and follow it, sometimes there are prices to pay for being a 24/7 traveling Rock Star Style Emcee and Reporter and Actor, oh my…..
We read up a bit about Simon's appearance on the show and we found things like, "Drama Queen", "Difficult"," Forceful". Guess what happened once we met her in person? Well you can chalk another one up for reality TV not being much like reality because, Tara Simone was the nicest person you could meet, oh and here is something that does not happen all the time either, Tara Simon is just as pretty in person as she is on television. Her crew was awesome, her management team was nice and talkative, they were the perfect package if you ask us.
Oh well, guess you still have to see things with your own two eyes before you believe them, especially things on television. Sunday was pretty fun and we hope for a big success on the single, the video and the upcoming album from Tara Simon.
Below is a video of her rocking it on the X- Factor, and go to her website to hear the Walk Away single…..
Tara Simon delivers on Hoobastank's "The Reason" at L.A. Reid's house during Judges' Homes. "It was a near perfect performance," she said after singing.

This last year has been an interesting one in the Scout6 household, with finding out last December I would be losing my job and my options were to transfer back to Fresno or be unemployed. We moved to Fresno last year on New Year's Eve, and fell asleep at 11 before the new year could even be rung in.
I am going to be out until late Saturday, so I just wanted to pass on all the greatest holiday wishes to everyone here at MCC.
While the adjustment was a strange one, I must admit I have enjoyed Fresno more than I thought I would. I actually owe part of the ease of settling in to all of you here at MCC. It has been a few years since I had lived in Fresno and most of the people I knew from college had moved on save a few. The friendship and fellowship here on this site gave me an outlet to discuss feelings and situations, as well as just goof around with great people.
During the season the GDT's allowed me to feel I was sitting in a room full of friends and other Giants fans, making the adjustment of moving to a new place much easier.
Then with the Giants winning the WS, I had a great group of people to celebrate it with.
I have been blessed with good health, a happy family, the love of my life and a great group of supportive friends, both on and offline.
Thank you all, and happy holidays and have a terrific, happy and prosperous new year!

All Over Beaded Lace Trumpet Gown Style T9612 269 275
Flattering and simple, but detailed! I had my eye on this dress, but I was a little wary of the trumpet shape because I'm self-conscious about my midsection. It's more of a modified A-line fit than a true trumpet or fit-n-flare gown-definitely try it on! The photos do the details no justice: I love the overall clean, simple silhouette, but the beading adds just enough sparkle and isn't at all "blingy" like some dresses. I am a size 14 with defined curves and a bit of a tummy, but this dress hangs so beautifully! I feel classy and ladylike with just a touch of sexy. Can't wait to wear it for my April wedding! August 4, 2012
Gorgeous Dress... I originally saw this dress online and fell in love. When I went to David's Bridal I asked to try it on and it was actually they had one left in my size (being a plus size girl, this is very VERY rare# and I fell even more in love. I tried on a few more dresses but kept coming back to this one. I didn't originally want to spend over a few hundred dollars on a dress but when you find the one you want #and your credit gets approved!) you can't be without it. It was super comfortable and gorgeous and I still love it to this day. August 2, 2012
Classic, comfortable, compliments! This was the first dress I added to my favorites on DB and it did not disappoint. I ordered it online and only needed to have the sleeves taken up. The dress is so comfortable, classic and got rave reviews from our guests. It took me from the grassy grounds of the inn, to the docks to the beach just fine. It will be a classic for years to come -- just like the lace dresses my mother and mother-in-law wore 40 years ago. And they are still happily married! Give this flattering dress a try! July 28, 2012
gorgeous gown! I loved wearing this gown on my wedding day on June 2, 2012. It was absolutely perfect - classic, lacy, delicate and lightweight. All of the guests said how beautiful is was and I felt like a queen! I felt that it was expensive to alter - over $300, but it was worth it. I almost bought a different dress, but wasn't totally sure, so I asked my friends to choose a gown that they would like to see me in - one of them came back with this one - yay! July 18, 2012

Government bias has cost us millions, says Bradford Council leader Dave Green
7:00am Thursday 23rd January 2014 in News By Claire Armstrong, City Hall Reporter
Council bosses claim Bradford is being short-changed out of millions because of a Government bias towards richer areas.
Bradford Council's Labour leadership has accused the Government of "gross unfairness" by imposing severe cuts here while wealthier districts get extra funding.
Its leader, Councillor David Green, said the situation was shameful.
In December, it was revealed that Bradford would have its total 'spending power' cut by £40.3 million, or 8.2 per cent, between 2014 and 2016.
But many councils in Surrey, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and Hampshire will receive more, rather than less, money.
Since then, Bradford Council's Labour leadership has been crunching the numbers and comparing this authority's plight to some of the wealthiest areas in England.
They say the country's ten least deprived districts will receive an average 'spending power' increase of £1.4 million over two years.
And they argue that if Bradford had faced similar treatment, they would have nearly £42 million more to spend on frontline services.
Coun Green said: "It is shameful that northern cities and towns like Bradford, Keighley, Shipley, Bingley and Ilkley are being targeted by a Conservative and Lib Dem coalition to bear the greatest burden of austerity."
But a spokesman for the Department for Communities and Local Government denied it was being unfair on Bradford Council, saying the authority still had more to spend per household than the national average.
He said: "The Coalition Government has delivered a fair settlement to every part of the country – north and south, rural and urban, metropolitan and shire.
"In the coming year councils should stay focused on cutting waste, making sensible savings, modernising frontline services and keeping council tax down.
"Local government finance now puts councils in the driving seat, rewarding them for supporting local enterprise, building more homes and backing local jobs.
"Bradford's spending power per household is £2,360 which compares to a national average of £2,089 per household."

The shame is that I have no idea if all that funding is over & above what they used to get before the cuts because it's never explained. Do the areas in the South get these funds as well?
Even more shameful is the fact we'll never find out because Labour & the Tories are too busy playing childish party politics to explain the overall picture and treat the electorate like simple children.

Cllr Green is accusing the government of doing what he is doing up here, looking after their own voters.

I would expect the spend per head in some of the areas that have seen an increase is still far, far lower than Bradford.
This council are a mess, instead of addressing the many inefficiencies, they are cutting high profile, front line services to prove a political point. They are not working in the best interests of the majority of the population.

So ASU has "A" mountain, which is like a small hill with a big ugly white A on it, that students go paint at the start of the school year. So last night, ASU students went and painted it black for the blackout feel of tonight's game. HOWEVER, by the time the sun came up, that A was green! Check it out. Nice job and GO DUCKS!

"We stayed the course with our mission statement and that is, before the year starts we have a mission for our scouts to find power legs, power arms and power bats," Brown said. "We think we have a few of those players in this draft -- early and some late."
One of those power players is left-hander Bill Bray, who was the Expos' first-round pick.
Bray's fastball, according to Brown, has been clocked at 95 mph, and his slider was registered in the low 80s.
Depending on how well he develops in the minor leagues, Brown said he wouldn't be surprised if Bray became a starter one day.
"That would be up to our development people on how far he can go. As of now, he is a closer," Brown said. "He has a power arm with power pitches."
On Day 1 of the draft, the Expos decided to go the college route. In fact, 16 of their 18 picks came from the college ranks on Monday.
Shortstop Ian Desmond and right-hander Collin Balester were the only high-school players picked by the Expos. Desmond went in the third round, while Balester was selected in the fourth.
The Expos are hoping Desmond will be their "franchise shortstop" and Balester in the rotation in three to five years.
On Day 2, the Expos selected mostly pitchers. Not too long ago, Brown said the Expos needed pitchers to fill roster spots in the minor leagues. That was partly because the organization was unable to sign a total of 36 drafted pitchers over the last two years. All of those pitchers were selected in the 20th round or lower.
On Tuesday, 21 of their 32 picks were mound men.
"We took pitchers to fill some spots and without compromising the talent, we feel we have some guys that could make an impact," Brown said.
The best of this group could be right-hander Andrew Gale, who is the son of former Major Leaguer Rich Gale.
Andrew, who was picked in the 43rd round, has a fastball in the low 90s and a slider in the high 70s.
Gale currently has a commitment to the University of North Carolina, but Brown hopes a deal can be worked out by the summer.
"We have the summer to watch him. I've known the family for the last five years," Brown said. "We had the kid on our
area code team. He has thrown as high as 92 (mph).
"A lot of kids get excited about school, but things change over the summer. If you could get a power arm guy and we end up getting an owner, maybe the owner will say take a run at that guy. (Andrew) has some history. His dad pitched in the big leagues. He has it in his genes. He has a good strong family."
The Expos also drafted another player with baseball pedigree. With the 44th pick, the team drafted Phillip Valle, who is the son of former Major League catcher Dave Valle.
The Valles are close friends of general manager Omar Minaya's.
"During the course of the draft, there will be a lot of courtesy picks, but there are some courtesy picks that play in the big leagues like Mike Piazza. While you experience courtesy picks, you take players because they are prospects and have a chance at playing in the big leagues some day," Brown said.
Brown believes the Expos can sign "50 percent or more" of their draft picks.
"We have to fill some roster spots and we have to sign at least 50 percent of them," Brown said.

LOUISVILLE, KY (WAVE) - Hundreds of police officers and their families gathered in Louisville on Saturday at the River City Fraternal Order of Police lodge. They were there for a benefit to support the family of fallen Bardstown officer Jason Ellis.
"I had people ask, 'Why did Louisville do this when he wasn't a Louisville officer?'," said Bardstown Chief Rick McCubbin, "But that's just the way the police do it. We take care of each other."
It has been nearly a month since Officer Ellis was brutally murdered when he stepped out of his cruiser to clear debris from the roadway. Days after the ambush, Ellis' cruiser was draped in black garb with a blue line. At the benefit, Ellis' wife, Amy, was presented with a custom made blue line ring. The blue line represents the police-who separate good from evil. The ring will serve as a reminder that Ellis' family will always have a helping hand through the FOP.
"This shows them that the community does care. And that is important, they need to know," said organizer Anita Simkin.

At The Garden Gate, everywhere you look you'll find something special. "I like being the little urban garden center that offers a little bit of everything," says Donna Torrey, who has owned the store at Pompano Citi Center since 1997.
As you wander you'll find racks of Florida-friendly rose bushes ($12.99); metal shelves of ground covers; a red worm composting farm complete with worms ($139; worm castings and tea are also available); the varied lavender flowers of a yesterday, today and tomorrow ($14.99); a nice variety of garden flags including one with a margarita-sipping flamingo on it ($11.99); wooden bat houses and orchard mason bee houses for these blue solitary native bees ($19.99); and colorful plastic hummingbirds with wings that bobble in the wind ($5.99 and $7.99).
Although the shop is attached to the north side of Sears in Pompano Beach, it's not affiliated with it. Instead Torrey uses her personal touch to display an eclectic mix of merchandise that changes frequently.
"People who come here think they are in a garden," says Torrey, a master gardener.
She sells only plants that do well in South Florida. For example, in winter she stocks annuals such as geraniums and lobelia that will grow for six months; up north annuals last only about three months.
You'll also find purple and pink water lilies ($29.99) as well as bacopa ($3.99) and fairy moss ($3.99) that will attract butterflies and bees to your water garden. "A lot of people come here for aquatic plants. It's a niche market," Torrey says.
Elsewhere her native options include coral honeysuckle ($4.99) that attracts hummingbirds; milkweed ($4.99) that brings in the monarchs; and then there is fire bush. "If you plant it, they will come," says Torrey, who also carries packets of native wildflower seeds ($3.49).
For the cook, there are plenty of herbs ($2.99) as well as moringa ($9.99 or 50 cents a seed) the nutritious leaves of which Torrey uses to flavor chicken soup.
Fruit trees including mango, pomegranate, macadamia nut, mulberry and hog plum get their own little area. Although the trees cost $19.99 to $49.99 depending on the size of the pot, most people don't realize that the smaller specimens tend to adapt to the native soil and grow faster than the larger ones, says Torrey.
If you have a question about a purchase don't hesitate to ask the staff. And if you have a gardening problem, Torrey is happy to have an e-mail conversation. Send her pictures and she'll try to find a solution.
"I like to help people learn to garden. It's trial and error, but I try to make it a little easier by letting you avoid the mistakes I've already made," she says. "It's really not that hard."
Deborah S. Hartz-Seeley is a master gardener who can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Comics! Cartoons! Anime! Crisis Vol. 2, No. 13: Ninja, Ninja, RAP.
Greeting friends! Let's dispense with the secret handshakes and get right down to brass tacks, shall we?
Do keep those decoder rings at the ready, however. We will have a secret message for you to uncover by the end of this broadcast!
Small boy, small dagger, big action!
Kazan is a manga by Gaku Miyao (who also worked on a manga for one of my favorite old school anime, Devil Hunter Yohko), and is a story about, well... Kazan, a small boy on a quest to find the "Water Demon". The sole survivor of a nomadic desert tribe known as the Red Sand Tribe, Kazan prowls the deserts with his faithful hawk Kamushin.
However, its not really quite that simple. Kazan isn't your run of the mill 8-year old boy; within his small frame is a terrible burden, and the reason behind his hunt for the Water Demon. In his travels he meets various people, rights various wrongs, punishes various evils, and befriends Fawna, a young girl with a strange ability, Arbey, an old lady with a panache for bomb-making, and Litomo, a sneaky, sneaky thief.
Honestly, this series is really quite an adventure. It manages to cram a great story, excellent fights, compelling characters, and fantastic artwork into 7 volumes of manga. Kazan and the rest of the characters have multifaceted personalities, and the usual tropes are (for the most part) avoided.
I really can't recommend it enough. Go read it!
Four turtles, a giant rat, some guy in a hockey mask, and a hot chick. What more can you ask for?
Unless you've been living under a rock since the mid 80's, you've probably heard of, loved, and sworn your life for the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles... and if not, you're no friend of mine.
IDW is behind the latest comic reboot of the TMNT, and they certainly know how to handle the brothers, I'll give them that. From retooling their origin story (mutated in a lab, not from a canister off the back of a truck), tweaking the small things here and there (Casey and April are college students), everything is new but still feels right.
Old favorites return, like Baxter Stockman, Krang, and the Shredder, and new characters are introduced, like old Hob (a mutated alley cat with a raging hate on for Splinter and the bros), Alopex (a mutated fox who is not what she seems), and Chet Allen (a bumbling scientist/lab worker and then some).
The folks who are making the comic have a great art style, and they make good use of the already established personalities for the Turtles and others, while still managing to make them their own. Raph is still a hot head, Leo is still the leader, Don is the tech guy, and Mikey... well, he still loves pizza. But they all gained new aspects in this reboot, and its something that meshes well with the turtles we all love from our childhood (whether recent or ancient).
The nice thing is that a good number of the covers are done by Kevin Eastman, one of the original creators of the boys in green (as Peter Laird bought out his ownership in '08). So if you're like me, and flipping through the back of the trade (because who has time to collect individual issues?!), you'll get a nice surprise when you see all the various covers for the issues and come across something what is best described as an awesome throwback to the original run of the Turtles.
Indeed,what she says are the words of one who has never dirtied her hands.
However, if I were to compare the two, I like Kaoru-dono's idealism better than that true nature.
Based on Nobuhiro Watsuki's stellar manga (and, I suppose, that anime that came after), Rurouni Kenshin is set in the Meiji era of Japan, a time of the phasing out of samurai and phasing in of Western sensibility. Swords are banned from being worn in public, and the entire country is shifting towards becoming more modern, dragging the samurai along into the future whether they like it or not.
The titular character, Kenshin, is a wandering samurai who has forsaken killing. He stumbles upon Kaoru, the heir of a kendo dojo (and her #1 and only student, Yahiko), and is propelled into a plot which ends up gaining him a friend in Sano, a proud street fighter who gets hired to take him out, and an enemy in Kanryu, who hires the aforementioned ruffian (among others) to get in Kenshin's way.
I really can't get over how much this movie got right... From the action sequences to the dialog, from the actors chosen to the locations, everything is like the manga come to life, and I loved every minute of it. A few things were changed from the original story, but not so much that it became something entirely different, and things weren't changed for no reason at all.
All in all, a great little slice of anime come to life that everyone who might happen to be a fan of samurai, anime, or those who just wants to appease me should watch as soon as humanly possible.
So there you have it... A comic (well, a manga), a cartoon (well, a comic), and an anime (well, a live action movie) for your approval.
And today's secret code is: DRINK MORE OVALTINE
Be careful, the encryption on this one is super crazy top-tier spy level, so enjoy!

1. Hip Arthritis
The word 'arthritis' means 'inflammation of the joint.' Most people think of arthritis as the wearing away of cartilage in a joint -- this is the end result of inflammation within the joint. Over time, the inflammation can lead to cartilage loss and exposed bone, instead of a normal, smooth joint surface.
The most common type of hip arthritis is osteoarthritis. This is often referred to as "wear-and-tear" arthritis, and it results in the wearing away of the normal smooth cartilage until bare bone is exposed. Other types of arthritis include rheumatoid arthritis, gouty arthritis, and lupus arthritis.
2. Am I Ready for Hip Replacement?
Hip replacement surgery is performed when the hip joint has reached a point when painful symptoms can no longer be controlled with non-operative treatments. In a hip replacement procedure, your surgeon removes the damaged joint surface and replaces it with an artificial implant.
A total hip replacement is a major surgery, and deciding to have the surgery done is a big decision. Here are some signs to look for to help you decide if the time is right, or not right, for knee replacement surgery.
3. Alternatives to Hip Replacement
Treatment of hip arthritis should begin with the most basic options and progress to the more involved, which may include surgery. Not all treatments are appropriate for every patient.
Hip replacement is generally reserved for patients who have tried all of the other treatments and are still left with significant pain during normal activities. Patients who have occasional pain, are able to participate in athletic activities, or have not tried non-operative treatments are probably not ready for a hip replacement. Non-operative treatment options include:
4. How Long Does Hip Replacement Last?Hip replacement surgery is a treatment for severe hip arthritis. Most patients understand that hip replacements can wear out over time, but exactly how long is a hip replacement supposed to last?
5. Hip Replacement Implants
Hip replacement surgery removes the damaged joint lining and replaces the joint surfaces with an artificial implant that functions similar to a normal hip. These implants will wear out over time, and hip replacements are done infrequently in younger patients because of the concern of the implant wearing out too quickly.
Hip replacement implants have been modified in order to provide the best possible functioning with long-lasting results. This effort to perfect hip replacement implants is constantly taking place. Some newer implants have promise, others may not turn out to be better.
6. Steps of a Hip Replacement Surgery
When a hip replacement is performed, the bone and cartilage on the ball-and-socket hip joint is removed. This is performed using precise instruments to create surfaces that can accommodate the implant perfectly. An artificial hip replacement implant is then placed in to function as a new hip joint.
7. Risks of a Hip Replacement
Hip replacement surgery has become quite common, but there are still risks. Fortunately, well over 90% of patients who undergo hip replacement surgery have good results.
You should have a thoughtful discussion with your doctor prior to hip replacement surgery and make sure to have your questions answered.
Potential risks of hip replacement surgery include:
8. Hip Replacment Rehabilitation
Hip replacement surgery is usually very successful, but the success of the procedure is partly due to the rehabilitation period that follows the surgery. For patients to expect a good result from hip replacement surgery, they must be an active rehab participant.
Rehabilitation after hip replacement begins immediately. Patients will work with a physical therapist as soon as the surgical procedure has been performed. The emphasis in the early stages of rehab is to maintain motion of the hip replacement and to ensure that the patient can walk safely.

I will be in Cartagena, Colombia later this month and wanted to see if anyone knows of a sport climbing area near by.
Can't speak to the climbing but the cities of Cali and Medellin are world famous for beautiful women. Indeed.
I think the Secret Service can concur with the beautiful women comment.
Will you bring me back a small package if I pay you? Jose will bring it to you. It's, um, some medicine. No need to open the package and look at it... Oh, and if the dogs alert to the package at the airport, don't be alarmed - the medicine smells like dog treats.
Suesca is fun, but it is near Bogata (quite a drive). Bucaramanga is supposed to be better (I haven't been there) and it is closer.

I dawned on me while writing my two part look at #1 picks from 2001 until 2010 that I missed a very important aspect to this discussion, this was what the Panthers did with their pick?
Although Carolina did not pick #1 overall, they did have a selection most years and as such I thought it would be apropos to look at each of the Panthers' picks since 2001 and give a brief breakdown of who they took, whether it was need or BPA and who they passed on who was graded higher. In the end we should get an idea of what Carolina's tendencies have been when lined up against who independent scouts think is best.
You can read this... after the jump
Dan Morgan (9.08/10): Need
- The best player available when Carolina selected #11 overall was OT Kenyatta Walker who was graded at 9.23/10. In the end Carolina made the right choice.
Julius Peppers (4.88/6.00): BPA
- Peppers was the best player available to the Carolina Panthers and he was the right decision... simple as that
Jordan Gross (4.34/6.00): Need
- The best rated player when Carolina selected was DE/OLB Terrell Suggs (4.82/6.00). Suggs didn't make a lot of sense being a 3-4 LB, but Jerome McDougle was also available as a 4-3 DE and was a 4.62/6.00 rated player. Neither made sense, Panthers took need, Panthers won.
Chris Gamble (4.12/6.00): Need
- Following the Superbowl Carolina were aware they would lose at least one of their corners and went about solidifying the position. They took Gamble over the higher rated RB Kevin Jones (4.33/6.00) and the Panthers made the right decision.
Thomas Davis (4.06/6.00): Need
- This was the 'Vick pick'. Davis was selected and moved from safety to OLB purely to counter Atlanta QB Michael Vick who terrorized the Panthers in 2004. They passed over highly rated OLB Derrick Johnson (4.42/6.00) to go for the faster Davis. In the end it appears TD was yet again the right pick.
DeAngelo Williams (4.27/6.00): BPA
- D-Will was the best player available in 2006, and he also represented a position the Panthers needed. In the end it was an amazing pick.
Jon Beason (3.98/6.00): Need
- With Dan Morgan at the end of his career the Panthers went for the MLB they liked the best. Robert Meacham, Joe Staley, Greg Olsen were all rated higher than Beason and none haver performed better than Beast. Panthers again made the right pick.
Jonathan Stewart (4.15/6.00): Need
Jeff Otah (4.12/6.00): BPA
- Dominique Rogers-Cromartie and OT Chris Williams were graded higher than Stewart, and neither is as good in this writer's mind. Meanwhile Jeff Otah was the best player left, and he's been very good when healthy. Both were good decisions.
No 1st round selection, traded to Eagles for Jeff Otah's pick the year before
Everette Brown (4.25/6.00): BPA
- Considered to be one of the steals of the 2009 draft the Panthers decided to trade a 2010 1st round selection to get the guy who they believe fell further than he should have. The jury is still out on Brown, he's shown flashes here and there, but has been pretty unremarkable for the most part. We'll see what he can do in Ron Rivera's defense.
No 1st round selection, traded to 49ers for Everette Brown's pick the year before
Jimmy Clausen (3.13/5.00): BPA
- Again considered to be a steal in the second round the Panthers took the best player available as insurance for Matt Moore. We don't know yet whether Clausen will pan out or not, but he was the best rated player available at #48.
In the last 10 years the Panthers have utilized what was tantamount to their 1st round pick on 6 'need' picks and 4 'BPA' picks. Really, there's no pattern- the Panthers take who they have graded the highest and while it sometimes doesn't make sense on draft day it has proven itself that more often than not they have made the right decision.
I will close saying that you can, and should expect the unexpected when it comes to the Panthers and the draft... nobody knows what they will do.

Shinya Aoki, Ikuhisa Minowa and Katsunori Kikuno are all part of the final fight card for DEEP's 10th anniversary show.
Katsunori Kikuno will defend his DEEP lightweight title for the first time against Nobuhiro Obiya at "50 Impact" on Oct. 24. The notoriously tough Obiya comes in riding a three-fight win streak, though he's only competed once in each of the past three years. Kikuno will look to bounce back from a split decision loss to "JZ" Cavalcante at DREAM.15 in July. DEEP boss Shigeru Saeki also announced that the 10th anniversary event will air live on SKY PerfecTV pay-per-view in Japan, and that a "big announcement" will be made on Oct. 5 when the full 15-bout fight card is revealed. Photo via GBRing.
Shinya Aoki returns to Japanese indy MMA promotion DEEP on October 24 to meet former boxer Yokthai Sithoar. Will Aoki use Sithoar as a grappling dummy, or will his chin fail him again?
DEEP bantamweight champion Masakazu Imanari will face DREAM/K-1 vet Daiki "DJ.taiki" Hata in a 135-pound non-title affair at DEEP's "50th Impact" on October 24. Imanari has won four straight bouts in DEEP since being eliminated from DREAM's 2009 Featherweight Grand Prix by eventual winner Bibiano Fernandes. Hata withdrew from the same tournament with an eye injury after besting Hideo Tokoro in the opening round, but has since dropped consecutive decisions to Mitsuhiro Ishida and Kazuyuki Miyata.

"Pure fun at Walls! These local kids spend the whole summer hanging out and surfing with their friends and family. Everyone in Hawaii knows of Walls and the infamous wall rats. It is a part of many childhood memories of growing up in Waikiki. This is an image of a kid jumping off the wall as the wave breaks on to the front of the pier. Not the typical surf shot, just a boy having fun."

It's a chicken and egg type question – which came first, borrowers or lenders? Of course you really can't have one without the other (legally, that is), but my instincts tell me that it could go either way. Just mention the word "debt" and many people automatically think of credit cards but those little pieces of plastic with the magnetic stripe were late to the party when it comes to debt. Debt has been around for centuries and many historians suspect it was one of the reasons humans created writing – to record financial transactions!
I'm always amazed when I write an article extolling the virtues of a debt free lifestyle. There is always a segment of the population that cries foul, insisting that debt is the path to wealth and riches … or at least cash back rewards. You CAN make money with the temporary cash that debt gives you. Debt can help you buy a home, provide an education, or finance a business, so there! I said it! But for me, debt was and has been indicative of five things:
- A lack of money
- Impatience
- Discontentment
- Poor planning
- Short-sightedness
Debt indicates a lack of money
The ultimate "DUH" moment, right? I used debt because I was short of cash. If, at my next annual review, my boss said, "You've done such a fine job, we're going to multiply your salary by a factor of ten and make it retroactive for the last six months. Here's your check!" I can tell you right now, I know I wouldn't be thinking about rewards cards, getting a home equity line of credit, or wondering what my credit score was. When I don't need debt, I rarely, if ever, use it (and I'm not talking about credit card debt you pay off each month either). So my question to myself is: do I really "need" it at all?
Debt indicates impatience
I know it did for me. In almost every case where I used debt to finance a certain lifestyle, I was impatient and wanted it now. I used debt because I was unwilling to save to buy certain things. I wanted them NOW and was willing to pay the interest to satisfy my impatience.
Debt indicates discontentment
In addition to impatience, I was discontent with the results of my poor financial decisions up to that point, so I used debt to ease my covetous heart and to buy the things I wanted because I didn't like the things I already had. Vacations, clothes, cars, you name it, I wanted to appear better off financially than I was at the time and I was willing to pay the interest to make myself appear successful.
Debt indicates poor planning
I've charged tires and transmissions, vacations and vet bills, clothing and car repairs, insurance and ice cream, and why? Because I didn't prepare for those expenses by having an emergency fund or by making small monthly "payments" into a dedicated savings account. It was poor planning, plain and simple and debt with interest charges was the result of my failure to plan.
Debt indicates short-sightedness
How much would I have today if I had waited until I had the money, learned patience and contentment, and planned a little better? It all boiled down to my own shortsightedness. You may have read how I paid off over $120,000 in debt (true story) but the sad fact is that I went that far into the hole in the first place. The amount of interest I've paid would probably make me sick if I added it up.
But guess what? I still use debt! (though begrudgingly)
I just refinanced my house at 4.75 percent … why? Because of reason #1 – I don't have the money to pay it off … yet. Since I have no other consumer debt than one small student loan (which I am attacking), my cash can be used to pay down the principle of my mortgage and free me from the burden of debt forever. I gotta tell you – it's a good feeling to be THIS close!

Much has been said of GS's possible new cornerstone, most revolving around injury. What i want to know is: Can Andrew do anything to minimize the risk of further injury....on the court?
Here's what i remember about the days after the trade. After awhile i asked myself, "while the party line/probable reality is that Bogut's injuries have been of the fluke variety, try to stay objective, SSC (using third person in honor of NBA players on hoops blog,) could it be he plays in a way that somewhat invites, or doesn't enough avoid the risk of, injury?"
So i looked at a bunch of, as i'm sure all of you did, video of Bogut.
Did anyone else notice he loves to swing on the rim? I know it's usually within the running, the play involved....but kind of not too. It seems he could be just as effective and athletic (and stylish on his dunks) with a bit more care around the rim with all those bodies and especially feet to land on.
So please. Andrew. I hope this gets to you in good will, as intended mate. Cannot wait and know you can't either, as none of us can (must calm out that eagerness, have to stay humble until the results are there...Go Warriors!)
