I have been bringing my father to this doctors for 4 years and I would like to say that Dr. Ndrio has been extremely helpful treating my father. He is always caring and very professional. He will take the time to help you no matter what. I strongly recommend him to anyone.
I have seen Dr. NDrio for a year and I am only mildly satisfied. He is often late, my visits to him are extremely short and he doesn't seem concerned about any issues that I may be affected by. He really seems to focus on children. He is good about prescriptions. His staff have been kind. I just don't feel he has tried to connect with my problems.
My child began seeing Dr. Ndrio for anxiety and OCD type symptoms, as well as issues with attention and focus. Under the care of Dr. Ndrio, my child has had a significant decrease in anxiety, and a significant improvement in attention and focus. Dr. Ndrio has patiently worked with me with any concerns or questions I had regarding medication and treatment. I find Dr. Ndrio to be a caring compassionate man, who has his patients as his first priority.
Dr Ndrio is an incredibly compassionate doctor. Really takes the time to understand what the issues are no matter how complex. Would recommend to my friends.
Our appt. was scheduled two weeks in advance. I took my child out of school and took time off of work to see Dr. Ndrio. He shows up 30 minutes late, and does not even acknowledge that he is late, much less apologize. When I pointed out that we had been sitting in the waiting room for 30 minutes, and none of his staff informed us he would be late, he replies, 'You can reschedule if you want'. I said, no we took time off of school and work, and waited 30 minutes to see you, now we would like to proceed with the appointment, but it would be nice if you would apologize for being late. No apology offered. We left and will not return to this physician. Nor will we ever recommend him to others.
I would like to say Dr has been seeing my 7 year old son for almost four years now, when we first met under inpatient circumstances at Provena Mercy inpatient it wasn't the best of circumstances. Dr Ndrio has the patience of a saint. We were scared not having a clue what was going on with our son, he just wasn't our little boy anymore and it took a lot of hard work, patients, caring and praying outside the hospital everyday that we would figure out how to bring our little guy back. Dr almost has to transfer him out to Childrens in the city but he kept working spending so much time working with our son, testing and retesting, trying one thing or another and Dr Ndrio figured it out. That hasn't "fixed" our son by any means we all still have to work hard. I know he genuinely cares for my son even taking insurance he normally wouldn't so he can keep seeing him in his private practice so he doesn't fall through the cracks as a lot of children do. I am grateful and lucky to have such a wonderful Dr looking after my son and our family because he truly cares. I would recommend this man to anyone and everyone. He truly saved our family and has continued all these years and has always been there even in the middle of the night to help. Our family feels truly blessed to have the opportunity to work with Dr. Ndrio
Dr. Ndrio came highly recommended by another physician and I see why! He was extremely patient, gave my ex an hour and a half of his time to help him feel more comfortable with the idea of our daughter taking the lowest dose of Zoloft. He spent about half of the appointment talking to my daughter to try to understand what was affecting her. He also took teacher evaluations and listened to my stories of her panic attacks and the causes to come to his diagnosis. Wonderful bedside manner, gentle, kind, warm dr. He has returned phone calls promptly and has followed up diligently to monitor her mental status. His staff is equally kind and respectful, very pleasant office overall.
Dr. Ndrio saw my daughter for ten minutes and she had no formal therapy before and he immediately prescribed Zoloft to a child. Zoloft is not approved for children by the FDA except for OCD which she does not have. His two pronged approach of drugs and therapy should have recommended some therapy first before the more drastic measure of a drug like Zoloft. He said he does not do the therapy so I was turned off that this doctor has one job of presribing, administering, and monitoring drugs.
Best Dr ever. God should make more like him, he saved my life.

New deals, upbeat homebuilder confidence data and easing
tensions between Russia and Ukraine handed markets strong gains on
Monday. Meanwhile, investors waited for what Janet Yellen and Mario
Draghi have to say at Jackson Hole, Wyo on Friday. The S&P 500
is now 1% away from its record high and Nasdaq closed above 4,500
points for the first time in 14 years. The blue-chip index
registered its biggest one-day percentage gain since Aug 8.
For a look at the issues currently facing the markets, make sure to
read today's
Ahead of Wall Street
The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJI) gained about 1.1%, or over
175 points, to close at 16,838.74. The Standard & Poor 500
(S&P 500) advanced 0.9% to settle at 1,971.74. The tech-laden
Nasdaq Composite Index closed at 4,508.31; gaining almost 1%. The
fear-gauge CBOE Volatility Index (VIX) dropped 6.3% to settle at
12.32. A total of 4.5 billion shares were traded on Monday, less
than last five day's average of 5.2 billion. Advancers outpaced
declining stocks on the NYSE. For 76% stocks that advanced, 21%
Deal news between Dollar General Corporation (
) and Family Dollar Stores Inc. (
) was welcomed by investors. Dollar General offered to acquire the
company in an all-cash deal valued at $78.50 per share or $8.95
billion. Shares of Family Dollar Stores and Dollar General jumped
4.9% and 11.6%, respectively. Both Dollar General and Family Dollar
Stores turned out to be among the biggest percentage gainers among
the S&P 500 components.
The NAHB/Wells Fargo Housing Market index rose 2 points to 55 in
August, hitting its highest level in seven months. Homebuilder
sentiment also rose for the third straight month in August.
Upbeat housing data boosted housing stocks and eventually the
broader markets. The SPDR S&P Homebuilders (XHB) was the
biggest gainer among the S&P 500 sectors. The sector gained
1.8%. Key stocks from the sector such as PulteGroup, Inc. (
), Toll Brothers Inc. (
), DR Horton Inc. (
) and Lennar Corp. (
) increased 2.8%, 1.7%, 1.4% and 1.7%, respectively. Overall, 9 out
of 10 sectors of the S&P 500 ended in the green.
Airline stocks also gained on Monday due to a drop in
. Brent crude oil prices plunged to a 14-month low of 101.11,
before closing at 101.60. Oil prices took a hit on easing
geopolitical tensions.
Shares of U.S. airline companies such as Delta Air Lines Inc. (
), United Continental Holdings, Inc. (
), The Boeing Company (
) and Southwest Airlines Co. (
) gained 2.5%, 3.9%, 1.5%, and 3.6%, respectively.
Reportedly, an agreement was reached between Ukraine and Russian
foreign ministers regarding humanitarian aid from Russia. Russia's
Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov held talks with Germany, France and
Ukraine over the weekend. He said: "Finally, all questions have
been resolved ... related to the Russian initiative to send 300
trucks with humanitarian aid."
Last Friday, Russia had accused Ukraine of trying to halt Russia's
humanitarian aid mission in eastern parts of Ukraine. Ukraine
retaliated by saying Russia is trying to ferry military personal
through humanitarian convoys.
Meanwhile, investors remained focused on the annual symposium of
central bankers scheduled to be held in Jackson Hole, Wyo on
Friday. U.S. Federal Reserve Chairwoman Janet Yellen's speech will
possibly indicate whether the quantitative easing program will
continue. European Central Bank President Mario Draghi's speech
will provide clues as to whether ECB will push for easy monetary
policies in order to combat the perils of deflation.

A chain of events that started when a man lost a trailer as he swerved to miss a deer Friday night in Steuben County ended with the death of a LaGrange woman.
Deanna Shroyer, 43, was riding in a car with Daniel Shroyer on Steuben County Road 100 North about 9 p.m. when he swerved suddenly to avoid a woman standing on the road to alert traffic about the trailer ahead, according to the Steuben County Sheriff's Department.
When Daniel Shroyer, 41, swerved near County Road 600 West to miss the woman, identified as Kenetha Duncan, he lost control of his car, which went off the road and rolled several times, police said.
Deanna Shroyer was thrown from the car, although police believe she was wearing her seat belt, and suffered fatal injuries, according to the sheriff's department.
She died at an Angola hospital.
Daniel Shroyer, who police believe was not wearing a seat belt, had non-life-threatening injuries and was airlifted from the crash to a Fort Wayne hospital. A condition update was not available Saturday afternoon.
Duncan was in the road because the SUV she was riding in lost the utility trailer connected to it when the driver, Edward Duncan, 49, swerved to miss a deer, according to his statements to police. Edward Duncan tried to reattach the trailer at the bottom of a hill, and Kenetha Duncan was at the top of the hill to warn oncoming traffic.
Neither Duncan was injured, police said.

NLafferty's curator insight, Today, 6:18 AM
Interesting workflow, seems quite complex but maybe worth a try and provides a helpful insight in to how you can get round the Kndle limit on exporting your book clippings.
Stephen Dale's curator insight, September 7, 6:41 AM
We live in an age where information is all around us, all of the time. Sometimes we seek it out, other times it comes to us, uninvited. The only way we can learn from and apply this information (actionable knowledge) is by having the tools and know-how to be able to sort, sense, filter, organise and ultimately retrieve this information within a context where it can be applied.
There are lots of tools out there that can help us (I use Evernote, Mindjet Mindmapping, Social Bookmarking and Blogging as my core tools), but I haven't yet found the El Dorado of a single tool/application/software that can do it all. This article from Alex provides an outline specification of the ideal system. An opportunity for an entrepreneur - perhaps, to satisfy what I think is a growing need amongst most people grappling with the information torrent.
Reading time: 20mins
Crystal Renfro's curator insight, September 8, 2:48 PM
This individual does a very detailed job both describing his workflow and what he would like to find in a one-stop shop tool. All the myriad of comments opens a new flood of tools and ideas to consider. It reiterates my belief that building interfaces between powerful tools that achieve different purposes may be the way to go... it goes back to what docear.com is trying to do.... the downside is that interfaces break very easily as different apps upgrade their products and thus makes the interface unstable.

Howard, besides your own book and this one, can you list five must read books about infotention?
David McGavock's curator insight, July 24, 3:53 PM
Nice survey of the research on multitasking. We're just getting started...
"Clifford Nass, notes that scholarship has remained firm in the overall assessment: "The research is almost unanimous, which is very rare in social science, and it says that people who chronically multitask show an enormous range of deficits. They're basically terrible at all sorts of cognitive tasks, including multitasking." - See more at: http://journalistsresource.org/studies/society/social-media/multitasking-social-media-distraction-what-does-research-say#sthash.I21dv2wV.dpuf"
Bodil Hernesvold's curator insight, August 6, 2:54 AM
Attention is important. This entry gives an overview of some research that has been done on multitasking.
Katie Muirhead's curator insight, August 20, 11:53 AM
As our lives are becoming increasingly technical, it is not surprising that research into media multitasking is becoming more widespread. This article is particularly authoritative as it has curated relevant university studies. It notes that "people who chronically multitask show an enormous range of deficits. They're basically terrible at all sorts of cognitive tasks, including multitasking." This comment alone is enough to inspire me to both research this subject matter more, ans strive towards mindfulness myself!!
Katie Muirhead's curator insight, August 19, 12:31 PM
Interesting cognitive psychology information regarding how our brains absorb information. Interesting to consider how our brains filter what we pay attention to, before we discuss what they pay attention to. Not necessarily directly linked to infotention, but an important source of background information.
Bodil Hernesvold's curator insight, August 18, 5:32 AM
I use Evernote from time to time, and I like the tagging there, but there is so much more cool stuff to learn.
Stephen Dale's curator insight, May 31, 12:17 PM
I've been using Evernote as part of my daily routine for the past 3 years, and couldn't do without it. Apart from the 12 (excellent) tips in the article, I've found the scheduler very useful for prompting actions - e.g. to write a blog post on a note I've written or a webclip that I've captured; the iPad version allows me to scan-in business cards, where the contact name is auto-checked against LinkedIn, and I've configured the Evernote options such that any Google Search I perform automatically displays results from my Evernote notebooks next to the Google search results.
If you've never used Evernote - give it a try and follow some of the 12 tips given in this article.
David McGavock's curator insight, June 8, 8:24 PM
Evernote is the bomb. I used the free version for years but use it so much that I decided to support them with my $$. I love the way it synchronizes my notes between devices. Easy sharing also.

Research produces strong evidence for new class of antidepressant drugs
Printer-friendly versionPDF version
26 Mar 2014
Scientists have shown for the first time that a chemical in the brain called galanin is involved in the risk of developing depression.
And the research, undertaken by a European research team, points to a strong reason to develop drugs that modify galanin functioning as a new class of antidepressant drug.
Galanin is a neuropeptide (a small protein) that was discovered and investigated over 30 years ago by various groups including the Swedish scientist Tomas Hokfelt. He is one of the senior authors of the paper published in the journal PNAS.
Professor Hokfelt and others made the fundamental discovery that neurones can release peptides alongside their classical transmitters and that galanin and noradrenaline are one such pair. Both have long been implicated in pain and stress and therefore depression but in the past it had been difficult to study peptides in humans.
The new research by scientists from Sweden, Hungary and the UK demonstrates that galanin is an important stress mechanism in the human brain that influences how sensitive or resilient people are to psychosocial stress.
Lead author Gabriella Juhasz, who is a Research Fellow at the University of Manchester and the Semmelweis University in Budapest, said: "Our research shows that some versions of the gene coding for galanin protect against the risk of depression and anxiety but only in people who have experienced early life neglect or trauma, or recent adverse events.
"Furthermore, the three genes for the three receptors through which galanin acts also influence the risk of depression in people experiencing early or recent life adversity. Crucially, all the galanin related genes are widely separated on different chromosomes and the odds are stacked against four random genes acting in the same way by chance."
Results from the research indicate that although the results are statistically reliable, galanin effects modify the substantial effects of stress by only a few percent. Indeed the moderate overall genetic influence (about 35%) on depression is likely to be mediated by many small genetic effects interacting with each other and with psychosocial factors converging on stress mechanism in brain.
Co-author Professor Bill Deakin, from the University of Manchester, said: "The findings provide a strong reason to develop drugs that modify galanin functioning as a new class of antidepressant drug. And new drugs are badly needed as almost all commonly prescribed antidepressants act on serotonin and they are often not very effective.
"Our research confirms what previous reports have shown about the variation in the serotonin 'transporter' gene and how it influences the risk of depression. We found that the galanin effects are substantially greater than the effects of serotonin."
The research team also say there is increasing evidence suggesting that depression, obesity, diabetes and Alzheimer's disease may be varying manifestations of shared underlying abnormalities of body metabolism.
"Galanin may be part of this general vulnerability since it has a significant role in appetite and obesity," added Professor Deakin.
Notes for editors
The paper, 'Brain galanin system genes interact with life stresses in depression-related phenotypes,' by Gabriella Juhasz, Gabor Hullam, Nora Eszlari, Xenia Gonda, Peter Antal, Ian Anderson, Tomas Hökfelt, Bill Deakin and Gyorgy Bagdy is published in PNAS and available to view as a PDF here.
Depressive illness is often triggered by life stresses and adverse events in early childhood such as neglect and abuse make people more vulnerable to later depression. Depressive illness also runs in families and variation in genes (DNA) accounts for about a third of the risk of developing Depressive illness.
Despite the application of advanced DNA mapping techniques spanning the whole genome to large numbers of people with and without depression, no definite evidence has been found for any genes whose variation is associated with depression. This is because such studies are too big to record psychosocial stress on every individual and so genetic factors that work through modifying response to stress cannot be detected.
This study used a novel Bayesian network-based analysis to calculate the relevance of gene – stress interactions in depression. Bayes was an English vicar who proposed his famous theorem in the early 18th century. It was neglected for a century or more and its elaborations are still expanding into to many aspects of understanding risk. The Bayesian approach offers an efficient new way to identify genetic effects in disorders with a strong environmental component.
The study was carried out in two populations, in Manchester and in Budapest, each with more than a thousand people. They provided blood for DNA and information about their psychosocial experiences and psychiatric symptoms. We confirmed the reliability of self-reported experiences and symptoms by interviewing a subset of 260 participants. The fact that the galanin system findings were the same in both countries and the same in men and women confirms their reliability.

Procurement Strategy
50 Shades of Pay: Shade 8 – Analyzing the "Bookends" of Purchases [Plus +]
In some of the previous installments of this series, we discussed why and how you might want to analyze the processes that generate spending so you can spend better by buying and paying better (we'll get to sourcing in our next installment). The series started with analyzing payment history and then moved "upstream" to purchase history and associated PO line-item detail. What we glossed over, however, is the "bookends" of the transactional purchasing process, namely the requisitioning and receiving process. Now, you may ask yourself why we are focusing on these sub-processes. I mean, these are just transactional processes, right? None of these are really strategic, right? Well, yes, and nomore ▸
Social Media and the CPO [Plus +]
For a recent workshop in London, I prepared a session titled "From Facebook to Supplier Collaboration - how social media is changing procurement." As well as being one of the more enjoyable topics to research (I got to know far more about vloggers and Haul Girls than I really needed to), it is actually a huge and fascinating topic once you really get into it. And it goes way beyond just keeping your LinkedIn profile up to date, which is about as far as many CPOs and senior professionals get. So in this piece we will get into an overview of the subject and start focusing on the key principles of social media, which then suggests what CPOs, procurement directors or similar should be considering in terms of actually making use of the tools - we'll cover that in Part 2.more ▸
50 Shades of Pay: Shade 4 – Analyzing Total Spend, Payments by Supplier Type [Plus +]
In our previous 'shades' (begin with Shade 1 here), we helped describe a foundational capability: to analyze and make visible how much money has been paid to suppliers. We also discussed how to wrangle the supplier master data that feeds the payment data that in turn, feeds the analytics. Now, in this Spend Matters Plus Research brief, Chief Research Officer Pierre Mitchell explores and classifies the types of suppliers with which you've held transactions to analyze your spend – ultimately signaling the shift from spend analysis to supply base analysis.more ▸
Why SAP Should — Or Should Not — Buy Concur [PRO]
Earlier today Thomas Kase (VP of research) shared some quick comments on the rumors that SAP is thinking about buying Concur. This Spend Matters PRO article is the in-depth analysis. "Say it ain't so" is what first came to mind, not that Concur is either shoeless or cheats. There are of course positive aspects to the acquisition as well. Thomas expands on the pros and cons of such a deal, as part of his advice to Concur's shareholders and customers.more ▸
50 Shades of Pay: Shade 2 – Total Cash Disbursements to Suppliers [Plus +]
50 Shades of Pay is back! Here is the second "shade" in this Spend Matters Plus series from Chief Research Officer Pierre Mitchell. The intent of getting to level two is to gain a complete picture of total cash disbursements to suppliers. To do this, some obstacles must be overcome. If improving your spend analysis is a topic of interest and you're not a Plus subscriber, contact us to inquire about a free trial.more ▸
Insight for CPOs: How Might CEOs Address Procurement's Failings? [Plus +]
In Part 1 of this series, Peter Smith, managing director of Spend Matters UK/Europe, discussed the new Proxima graphic e-book titled "Drowning not waving – how Corporate Virtualization has got business leaders out of their depth... And where the real opportunities lie." Peter believes that the empowerment of the budget holder and business stakeholder, giving them a greater role in the overall procurement process, and the emergence of a consequent stronger commercial capability across the organisation, will be the most significant development in the procurement world over the next 10 years (in terms of strategy and organization at least). That of course will have some major implications for procurement functions and people - but it's a topic for another day. In this Spend Matters Plus research brief, Peter gives four reasons why he is confident in his prediction.more ▸
Beware Ariba's Patent Treasure Chest (Part 4): Supplier Approval and Activation in a Network [Plus +]
One of the primary motivations behind SAP buying Ariba was its network approach model. It was theoretically a business model that could deliver scale benefits to participants (and Ariba shareholders) beyond standard software or SaaS applications. There were numerous archetypes for the Ariba Supplier Network. Spend Matters analysis suggests Ariba was a fast follower, copying Commerce One (which had its own stash of patents that was eventually acquired by Perfect Commerce and Novell) and others in building out such a model. Yet Ariba quickly scaled its own IP and approaches in the area of supplier enablement and connectivity. In Part 4 of this Spend Matters Plus series on Ariba's patent portfolio, VP of Research Thomas Kase considers Ariba's patent for supplier approval and activation in a supplier network (essentially a one-to-many supplier network approach).more ▸
Insight for CPOs: Proxima Lays Out Procurement's Failings, But Are the Answers Here? [Plus +]
Procurement outsourcing specialist Proxima deservedly received a lot of coverage with its Corporate Virtualization study that was published last year. As you may remember, it analysed the accounts of large firms and discovered that on average 70 percent of their revenues were spent with third-party suppliers. That was more than most of us steeped in the industry expected, and compared with just 13 percent going on staff costs. Given those statistics, that raised a whole host of interesting questions about why procurement doesn't have a higher profile. Surely senior executives can see how vital it is for that 70 percent to be spent well? Now Proxima has produced a "graphic e-book" titled "Drowning not waving – how Corporate Virtualization has got business leaders out of their depth... And where the real opportunities lie."
Spend Matters UK/Europe managing director Peter Smith was CPO for three large organisations covering both private and government sectors before he moved into advisory work and – eventually – running the UK/Europe site. In a new series for Spend Matters Plus, he will be writing regularly about key strategic – but non-technology related - issues of interest to the CPO, procurement director or other senior people in the profession.

50 Shades of Pay: The Blueprint for the Joy of Spend Analysis [Plus +]
In yesterday's announcement of a new Spend Matters Plus series, Fifty Shades of Pay, Pierre Mitchell wrote about the importance of spend analysis in procurement transformation. Now let's look at making it happen. As spend analysis scenarios become more sophisticated and complex, they draw in broader data sets and use deeper types of analytics. Pierre developed a graphical context diagram, or blueprint if you will, of spend analysis. Not a Plus subscriber yet? Contact us to inquire about a free trial.more ▸
Webinar on Thursday: Are Digital Signatures that Important? Yes, Indeed
You may have caught Pierre Mitchell's piece from last week on this topic (In Defense of the Signed Document), and we want to take it even further. Therefore, we're opening up this week's Ask the Expert webinar (on Thursday from 11-11:30 am Central) to ALL Plus/PRO members and procurement practitioners. As the orchestration between buyers, suppliers, and other third parties becomes more complex and increasingly digital, the need to seamlessly move across the document/data spectrum becomes more critical. Why? Jason Busch will count the ways.more ▸
In Defense of the Signed Document [PRO]
Many people refer to ERP systems (notably master data stored in them) as the "system of record," which is interesting terminology. Think about supplier master data entered in the buyer's ERP system that immediately can become "stale" the moment it's entered. Let's even take a better example of the penultimate document of record between the trading parties: the contract. A buying organization can use a contract lifecycle management solution that is fully integrated with an e-sourcing solution and even Microsoft Word documents that can be used as the user interface of sorts in contract authoring. Data is tracked at a detailed data element level and built up from low-level clause libraries. Yet when it comes time to seal the deal, the buyer and supplier print the contract and then start scurrying around for the final signatures, usually hand-written and faxed, only to then be stored and scanned so that the document image can be attached back to the CLM/ERP system. In today's Spend Matters PRO research brief, Pierre Mitchell makes an argument for the need of systems to accommodate the data types and user types across the source-to-pay continuum.more ▸
What Makes Public Sector Spend Analysis Different: Motivations and Process Requirements (Part 2) [PRO]
Building a successful public sector spend capability requires similar core capabilities as found in those sold to the private sector, as well as additional ones. But more so than simply checking the feature/function box as a vendor – or in software/solution selection processes as a user – implementing the right public sector spend analysis approach requires taking a slightly but critically different mindset compared to what is tried and true in the private sector. In Part 2 of this Spend Matters research series (see the first installment here), Jason Busch, founder and managing director, continues to explore what these unique motivations, requirements, and approaches are.
The final installment of the series (Part 3 – forthcoming) will continue to profile one of the specialist vendors in the sector, Spikes Cavell, which appears to have cracked the code on what federal, state, and local organizations most value in understanding their expenditures, reporting on activities, and tying data to actual programs to drive better constituent outcomes. There are clearly lessons in this regard for public sector procurement organizations and overall leadership (employees and elected officials), other technology and solution providers expanding their public sector presence, and, surprisingly perhaps, the private sector as well.more ▸

Bay Area Woodworkers Association (BAWA) was formed in 1982 to strengthen the woodworking community in the San Francisco Bay area.
Our members cover the complete spectrum of woodworkers from hobbyists to professional; from new comers to lifelong woodworkers. The common interest is they all want to learn more about the craft and improve their woodworking skills.
At our regular monthly meetings we discuss, disseminate and exchange information on woods, tools, woodworking techniques etc. The meetings provide an informal forum for exchanging knowledge and ideas. Most of the meetings are held on the 3rd Thursday evenings of the month in Foster City.
Meetings start at 6:30pm with a 30 minute social time when attendees can discuss topics of interest with other members.
Meetings then proceed to the evening's formal program which varies every month but typically will include the evenings main presentation or demonstration given by one our experts in BAWA or a distinguished guest speaker. This is followed by Members Show and Tell or Tool Talks where members get the chance to talk about their projects or experience with tools etc. Any topic that is related to the broad field of woodworking can be discussed. The meetings provide a learning experience for everyone.
We also participate in woodworking related charitable activites to help communities in the Bay Area.
For the last few years we have worked on several Rebuilding Together projects where we have pre-built cabinetry for deserving causes in our members workshops then installed them at sites around the Bay Area.

TUESDAY, Nov. 15 (HealthDay News) -- Remote and in-person weight-loss interventions and enhanced weight-loss counseling are associated with significant weight loss for obese participants, according to two studies published online Nov. 15 in the New England Journal of Medicine to coincide with presentation at the American Heart Association's Scientific Sessions 2011, held from Nov. 12 to 16 in Orlando, Fla.
Lawrence J. Appel, M.D., M.P.H., from Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, and colleagues investigated the effectiveness of two weight-loss interventions, one delivered remotely through the telephone, a study-specific Web site, and e-mails, and another delivered through in-person sessions, in 415 obese patients with at least one cardiovascular risk-factor. Weight loss at two years was significantly greater in both intervention groups compared with the control group (self-directed weight loss). Weight loss of 5 percent or more occurred in 18.8, 38.2, and 41.4 percent of controls and those receiving remote and in-person support, respectively.
Thomas A. Wadden, Ph.D., from the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia, and colleagues compared weight loss in 390 obese individuals with the usual care intervention (weight management education through quarterly primary care provider visits), brief lifestyle counseling (monthly instructions by lifestyle coaches), and enhanced brief lifestyle counseling (counseling plus meal replacements and weight-loss medications). After two years, participants had mean weight loss of 1.7, 2.9, and 4.7 kg, respectively; and 21.5, 26, and 34.9 percent, respectively, of participants lost at least 5 percent of their initial weight. Enhanced lifestyle counseling was significantly better on both measures
"Enhanced weight-loss counseling helps about one-third of obese patients achieve long-term, clinically meaningful weight loss," the authors write.
One of the study authors from the first study disclosed financial ties to the pharmaceutical and publishing industries.

Blue RoseThis feeling...How to describe something that makes all else so fleeting?A seed took root in the deepest fibers of my being,and now has bloomed, sealing my fate; doomed.Tis the kind of infatuation that leaves you lying awake at night;your thoughts consumed by memoriesof someone you feverishly wish you knew.The sleepless nights transition into wakeless dayswhere you are little more than a shell,dreaming of someone so close - and yet so far.Tis the kind of thoughts that leave you questioninghow you will hold on to your sanity,or indeed, whether you have already lost it. Are youcrazily insane or insanely crazy?For all the comfort this feeling brings, its torturouseffect must surely be tenfold.
RelationshipsThe frigidly cold air caresses her hairand I am intoxicated, high on more than is indicatedby the piles of ash spread over her flooras I walk unsteadily towards the doorI'm leaving and my mind is reelingfrom the fact that SHE invited ME over -but then I'm gone and in my mind I longfor the fling that came so closeA week later I have had my final dosecontaining thoughts of what could have beenbecause after everything I've seenI know it's better to not be exclusivebut neither am I intrusive:Screw me or shoo me, I'm good either waythere is always someone else willing to play
A Walk"I want to take a walk and write something"thought I this night. But what to say? Nothing worthy in sight.I feel a drive to spill ink on paper, but no words heed the Shaper.I could write about my dad who believes if I died yesterdayI would be rotting in Hell's fiery pits today!But I don't need his fallacious religion to know that my life has meaning.I could talk about my friend who recently joined the army,although it is nothing, a spit in the sea compared to the American death machine.I could think about how I was medicated;drugged half my life for a problem I was later told most people grow out of.I could sing of my sister whom I love and hate so much -love because she is my baby sister,hate because she treats us like shit smeared over the floor.But none of these things interest me,now that I have returned from my walk.
All AloneI'm crawling through miles of black clouds andicy rain; trying to reach the sunlightthat lies so far away. I need a handto steady me, but no friend is in sight.Please, someone, transform the anguish which looksat the depths into sorrow which doth stareat the stars in hopes of being quenched. Brookstrickle a mournful tune to my cold care:My fears trickle down like tears with no oneto catch them. A suffocating darknessis creeping in, now blotting out the sun.Will no one care for my living carcass?The living dead, loneliness incarnate,that is me. Friends would be emollient...
Thoughts on teaching myself how to drawThe very best of Mozart plays in the backgroundas i attempt to teach myself how to drawViolins sing a dreary dirge - for all that was lost, all that was defeated,and for all that never wasNever was for its birthers lacked the freedom to express their ideasThe light turns red - i hope you dieGangs Of Bloodhounds have overrun my dear pianistmelancholies thoughts are driven out,As i attempt to teach myself how to drawLost opportunities are falling FUCK THATI am better than this.I will not waste my life remembering the opportunities i lostI will waste my life chasing the unreachable girlDoing the undoableand simply regret what I could not achieveas i sit in my dark winter room.Just me and Hooray For Boobiesas i teach myself how to draw...
Why?Possibly the most interesting question ever invented.
I am going to Denmark!Fuck yes! Vacation time! Next Monday I start college and (if I got it) my new job. So basically I go from being a bum to a hard working college student in 1 day. At least I'll get payed. Only sucky thing is that I only get a week of summer vacation. Which is why I am going to go chill in Denmark. Copenhagen to be exact. So yeah. PARTEEEEEH!
Beneath the surfaceA proper introduction would introduce me as randy.The denizens of Dante's second circle have nothing on me.Wearing my heart on my sleeve would reveal a drooling letch.Aphrodite is my patron deity, and my favorite animal is a white bunny.Secretly a hedonist, tinder user, and frequenter of the match website. I don't care for puppets with strings attached.Being my friend comes with many benefits.I judge not those who let themselves go wild.So won't you let your hair down and play doctor with me?
Is it?Is ignorance better than painful truth?
This Ugly, Beautiful WorldI took a school trip to Europe this summer.To be honest, I don't remember much of it anymore. It's all a blur of rushing through crowded streets and cramped bus rides and crowds of foreign languages. When I look at the pictures, in fact, I can't seem to recall taking most of them. I can't even tell what some of them are supposed to be.Our first stop was Paris, France.I hated it there. It was dirty. Smelly. Crowded. Disgusting. Wherever we found ourselves, disdain was the only courtesy that was shown to us by those who called the City of Light their home. It didn't even matter that I loved each inch of history that was told to us by our guide - I just wanted to go home and get away from the squirming, teeming atmosphere that clung to me like fog on a rainy day.We spent three days in Paris.The first day is nothing but a fractured, bone-weary mess in my mind that consists of walking and walking and eating and walking and listening and walking and walking. The second day is simply bit
The Girl and the ChildThere was a girlAnd there was childThe girl dreamed of lossAnd the child played until the late hours of the morningThe girl was sad and lonelyAnd the child still clung to everything she hadThe girl was tired and doneAnd the child was afraid to grow upThe girl missed the childAnd the child missed the girlOne day the girl left her heart on the child's doorstepAnd then retreated into the shadowsThe child held it in her handsAnd criedThe child searched for years and yearsBut she found nothingShe finally fell to her knees never to get up againThe girl came out of the shadowsAnd saw the child on the floorAnd she wept until she had no more tearsAnd once she cried her eyes, she laid there beside the childAnd stared into the dark that now consumed herThe girl nodded for mother and laughed for fatherDid for brother and worked for grandfatherBut she cried for herselfUntil no more light shinedAnd she was just another lump on the bedThe girl did not know how unhappy she w
HumanI don't feel comfortable in this shell, I don't like its disgusting smell.My mouth release a breath so foul, in there reside teeth rotten like my soul.This shattered heart pumps like a steam train, in my mind falls heavy rain.My pale skin burns on this bright day, from my own self I just want to run away.My soul doesn't belong in this skeletal body, in everyone's eyes I'm just a nobody.I curse the day when I was born, my demented brain hurts like it's pierced with a huge thorn.I don't want to be this thing, to all the women I am not appealing.I just want to escape from my own skin, why do I hate so much my own kin?For my condition there is no cure, this life I must endure.And so from the darkest of depths of my condemned soul I roar, I'm just a human and nothing more.

Everyone doesn't need a trainer to become fit…but you might!
A trainer can be very important.
Can your trainer make you or break you, help you become fit or cause you to quit? Yes.
You may need a trainer to help you get started. You may only need a trainer after you've been working out for a year, or when you need to brush up on your form. We can all slide backward. If you work with one, choose carefully.
Assuming you need one, how should you select your trainer? Are there right questions to ask? Our best brief answer is that it can be difficult to select a trainer and assess if that trainer is right for you.
- Ask someone for a referral.
- Ask for a trial workout.
- Look for a female trainer who is "obsessed" with weights.
Get a referral from another female. Look around your gym and ask questions. That's how you find a new hair stylist, right? You see a haircut you like, and get the stylist's name.
A trial workout will tell you if your fitness philosophy is in sync with the trainer. She may know fitness but you know you. You may need someone to drill you and push you, demanding "just one more." The danger is that for some individuals, "just one more" will be "one too many."
Your personal workout style and taste needs to be respected. When you find what works for you, you'll find success.
Why weights, you ask? Although anything you enjoy, that relaxes you or gets you to the gym, is good, weights will do all that and so much more, in less time! I'll take that deal every day.
This discussion is not meant to be all about strength training with weights. The choice is such a good one, however, that we can't pass up the chance to encourage you. We both would choose something else if it worked better than strength training with weights. Note: both of us run, jog or walk, in addition to our weight workouts. But we would not give up weights and just do the cardio portion of our exercise.
This is what you'll get if you choose weight training: You will:
- Get fit faster.
- Get fit with the least amount of effort.
- Get fit expending the least amount of time on a daily basis.
It may be hard to find a female trainer who is obsessed with weights, but that's precisely what you need. If this female is also a bit of a philosopher, even better. There can be a Zen-like element to weight training- something more inner than outer, a sort of quietness. There certainly isn't any huffing and puffing. See for yourself. Try it. Do it now.

A project that was waiting quietly cut since August. A burda pattern pouch which I have no mods: lower the size clamps to add, take those back … And yes I forgot that it was a Burda and therefore too!
Despite all the retouching adjustment, it has a small side boyfriend that I like finally!

Looks great! I love how they are ankle length. I found unfinished trousers in my unfinished pile yesterday. This reminds me that I really need to get it finished.

Treasure Beach House Rental Photos and Description
3 Bedrooms, 2 Bathrooms, Sleeps 6-8
Large 3 bedroom home situated on a small bluff just above one of the best sea turtle nesting beaches in Treasure Beach with a small cottage close by. The area below the house has a great swimming beach with the possibility of walking along the coast in either direction. The main house has one large bedroom with two twin beds and another of the same size has a king sized bed and a small child's bed. There is also a smaller room with a single bed. This house has 2 bathrooms and an outdoor shower. The small cottage which is about 50 feet from the main house has two porches, a king sized bed and its' own bathroom and can be rented as an add on when we are not using the space as our turtle office during nesting season which is July-November. All rooms in the main house have ceiling fans and all the bedrooms also have a standing fan. Two bedrooms have screens and the others have mosquito nets over the beds. The house also has a nice living room, good sized kitchen, a large veranda on the sea side, a second story deck with a thatched roof and a roof deck for viewing Treasure Beach's beautiful sunsets. The house is very comfortable and there is almost always a breeze blowing through.
We are conservationists and are trying to raise enough money by renting our home and providing turtle tours (NEPA approved) to be able to pay 2-3 local men to do nesting surveys on the hawksbill sea turtles that nest on our local beaches. If you are looking for a gated community or the latest in luxuries, this is probably not the place for you. We do not have hot water although if you are willing to wait until late afternoon when the sun has been shinning on the water tank for a few hours, you can often get a nice warm shower. We have also left most of the trees around the house in an effort to keep the local bird population in place and then we draw them in even closer by putting out bird baths and hummingbird feeders. The birds really put on quite a show and sometimes you can actually hold the bottle while the streamer tail hummingbirds feed, giving you a good close up view.
If you want see the real Jamaica, learn about her wildlife and see some of her wild places, this is the place for you.
- Suitability:
- Long-term Renters Welcome
- children welcome
- pets not allowed
- wheelchair inaccessible
About Sarah Thomas
I have been an annual visitor to Jamaica for 30 years. For the past 14 years, I have settled in the Treasure Beach area and find it to be a home away from home, both comfortable and safe. I spend the remainder of my year in Oregon and have long focused my life on various forms of conservation.
Sarah Thomas purchased this house in 2004
Why Sarah Thomas chose Treasure Beach
This area of Jamaica integrates a culture of farming and fishing with limited tourism in a safe and positive community that still has the opportunity to save a good part of its' wildlife and culture.
What makes this house unique
Allows visitors to experience a true and realistic Jamaican environment in a safe and Eco-conscious retreat on one of the few remaining Hawksbill Turtle nesting beaches in the area.

We stayed for 4 nights recently. The hotel was only 15 blocks from downtown which is an easy walk if you don't mind it. Saves you the $10 to go to and from downtown via taxi. Midtown is also close which has some fun restaurants. We had 4 girls in a 2-queen bed room. Plenty of space and it was clean. Room had a little wet bar with a nice size fridge and microwave. The breakfast had fresh hot waffles, omelettes, biscuits and gravy!
Not enough plugs or lighting in the room, but no big deal, we made it work! Also, no bathroom fan, so when you showered or dried your hair it got hot, and no iron in the room. We didn't need it but just noticed there was not one.

Okay 6.0
Great location next to campus, right by stadium, and next to the park. Comfortable room and relatively clean but needs upgrades- carpet was stained and unravelling. Not as nice as I had expected for the price. I could hear the guests in the room next door.
Mediocre 4.0
Great location if you're visiting Vanderbilt university or attending a game at the stadium, but a little out-dated and overpriced if you are looking for the downtown Nashville experience. Without knowing the layout of the city we thought the room price here meant nice, more modern hotel, BUT it's an old style Holiday Inn located walking distance from Vanderbilt stadium. Our first room selection was on the service floor--next to swinging doors, smelled like we were working in the kitchen (that didn't help). They were nice enough to find us another room. Nice staff, funky hotel.

Poor 2.0
The rooms are in need of updating. There was a cigarette burn hole in the curtains. The shower curtain liner came out of the curtain rings b/c they were all stretched out. There were marks in the bathroom on the wall near the mirror that looked like scratched wood. There were hairs on the floor in the bathroom right when we got there so I know they weren't ours. There was a scuff on the door jamb near the bold lock. It looked like it had been banged up. On the upside, the staff was friendly and we liked the breakfast. But won't return unless the hotel is updated.
Excellent 10.0
My family stayed at this hotel for a cheerleading competition in town. We chose this hotel away from our team who stayed closer to the convention center. We did this for two reasons 1 being the other hotel had bad reviews and 2 the breakfast offered at Embassy. We did not want to worry about finding good food for my daughter all while getting her ready for her events. We were taking a chance but as it turned out the breakfast was fantastic the food was great . I took advantage of a made to order omelet every morning with fresh fruit and sausage. There was many options as well. After the competition we came back to hotel around 5 pm for a complimentary drink ,like happy hour till 7:30 with snacks.The lobby is very nice with two flat screen tv s plenty of space and very well furnished for comfort .I used the gym it is adequate and clean.

The entire staff was so friendly and accommodating! Any questions or requests were fulfilled immediately. The free shuttle, free coffee, and free wifi were awesome and made all the difference in our stay. Our room was really nice, especially nice to have a microwave in the room, because I find that to be very uncommon. The hotel is a bit further away from the Honky Tonk area, but the shuttle was super helpful. A cab, when the shuttle, was a minimal fee for two people. The only unsatisfactory thing was the firmness of the bed, but that's a matter of choice. Definitely would stay again!

Sometimes if you're not careful, the rope starts to fray and the knots come loose, and before you know it, the whole damn thing falls apart. You get busy with life – with just surviving and getting by – and everything you love gets blown to smithereens. Then you look back after some time and you're able to point your finger to the exact moment shit fell apart. And you think "how did I let that happen?"
And here's the thing – it can happen with everything: your marriage, your friendships, your career. It can all blow apart faster than you can put it back together. So you have to try. You have to cling to the things you love the most and try like hell to keep it all together. Some things will slide while you do this. Your house will get messy. Your car will go months past its scheduled maintenance. Your wardrobe will go to shit and every single shirt will smell like spit up. Your yard becomes a classified war zone, full of mushrooms and weeds and overgrown parts you'd like to forget about. But if you try hard enough, you might realize that your life is full and you're loved and you're loving others.
It's just so damn hard to keep it all together sometimes. I have incredibly high standards for myself and I often stress myself out trying to excel at my life. And I wonder "who the hell is grading me?" ya know? NO ONE.
Last night I walked away from a kitchen sink full of dirty dishes to go lay with Natalie on her bedroom floor and stare up at her playmat mirror. I put my head next to hers and stared at the mirror with her. She pulled both feet up and rolled towards me as if to say "oh, you're here!" So I pulled both of my feet up in the air and said "hey, I can do that too." She laughed, and everything else just fell away.
The sound of her laughter – oh, it gets me every time.
Most days I do a really good job of being her mom. I'm figuring it out and I have the best time with her. But lately I fail at other things.
I have to remind myself to give Billy a hug and tell him what a good dad he is. He needs to hear it. I have to remind myself to email or call a friend just to say hi and tell them I love them. I have to tell myself it's ok to leave the laundry unfolded for one night so that I can take a bath and relax with a glass of wine once Natalie is asleep. Those are the small moments to myself that keep me sane.
Life has changed so much, but I'm still the same person I always was. I'm still way too hard on myself. I still have standards that are – at best – impossible to meet on most days. I still love my girlfriends for the different things they bring to my life, and I value them even more now than I ever did. I'm still married to my best friend, who reminds me to keep a sense of humor because it's all going to be alright.
I'm still trying like hell to keep it all together.

Issue Brief
- The public may think pesticides are only allowed onto store shelves and for use in agriculture and into consumer products if they have been approved by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in a transparent and scientifically rigorous process. Recent investigations by NRDC, however, reveal a deeply flawed system, indicating that the public's trust is misplaced.

Comments about Shade for Bulkhead Fixtures:
I'm restoring a 1978 sport fisherman and needed to replace the fixtures. I couldn't fine the shades until I came accross them in the West Marine Catalog. I was pleased that they were plane because I was able to place diferent saltwater fish on them to complement the boat's decor. I've been a West Marine customer for over 20 years and should have know to always look there first.

Comments about Shade for Bulkhead Fixtures:
For standard bulkhead lights, these shades really do the trick. My only complaint is that they do not fit compact fluorescent bulbs - only the larger incandescent ones.
