Cutting Personal Health Care Costs
- Friday, September 01, 2000
Written by Susan M. Shannon Davies
Everyone seems to agree that something needs to be done about health care costs in the United States. While the nation debates the possible solutions, here are some things you can do right now for your family and your budget!
Medical supplies and records
"Eight out of ten health care problems are cared for at home without the help of health professionals. By doing a good job of self-care, you are helping to reduce health care costs." (Healthwise Handbook, 10th Edition).
Even if you are insured, you are reducing your costs by eliminating any co-pay insurance payments.
Here are some key steps you can take to reduce unnecessary doctor visits and medical costs.
- Be prepared for minor emergencies and illnesses. Keep a well-stocked first aid kit and purchase some basic medical equipment.
- Store an emergency procedures reference booklet with your supplies.
- Take CPR and first aid classes. Many cities offer these through community education programs.
- Make a folder or notebook for each family member. Each time there is an illness or accident, jot down the date, make notes about the symptoms and treatments, and describe the results. Include both physical and mental observations of the patient. These records can be valuable in evaluating recurring or chronic problems.
Good nutrition is extremely important in preventing and overcoming illness. Use your food dollars to buy unprocessed, low sugar, low fat, high fiber, wholesome food. Shop around the "outside of the store" where you tend to find fresh fruits and vegetables, bulk foods, etc. The new USDA food pyramid provides a good foundation for healthy eating.
Don't buy things like soda pop or candy on a regular basis. These and other foods like them provide zero nutrition. Bake healthy snack foods or eat fruit in between meals. Check out a wholesome foods cookbook from the library.
Your library is sure to have numerous reference books on basic health care. Check one out, and visit your local bookstore for other possibilities. Every home should have some reference books on health and medical care that can be used as guides for identifying symptoms and treatments, as well as determining when to seek a doctor's care.
If you are unsure whether an appointment is necessary, consider a phone consultation. Most health care clinics provide on-call services 24 hours a day.
Whenever you're planning to visit your health care provider, write down everything about your complaint or illness before you go. If an illness is diagnosed, ask lots of questions:
- Does the prescribed medication have any side effects or contraindications? Due to possible synergistic reactions, should you avoid other pharmaceuticals?
- Is there a generic equivalent available? Bob Lewis, Vice President of Public Affairs at the Generic Pharmaceutical Industry Association estimates that you can save 30% to 50% using generic drugs.
- Can your health care provider give you the names of any books or recent articles that discuss your illness?
- Are there less expensive or less invasive alternative treatments that could be tried first?
For instance, holistic and homeopathic remedies can be effective, inexpensive and noninvasive. Many parents try them first with their children when they are teething or have ear infections and are pleasantly surprised with the results.
(Homeopathy is a therapeutic form of medicine based on the principle that minute doses of medicines can stimulate the body's immune system to cure itself. For example: Ipecac if taken in large doses induces vomiting. If taken in minute, homeopathic doses, often cures vomiting. It's similar (though different) to the idea behind immunizations.)
Stephen Cummings, MD, in his book, Everybody's Guide to Homeopathic Medicines, notes that homeopathy, developed in the late 1700's by a German physician, is enjoying a comeback in the United States. A survey published in The New England Journal of Medicine (Vol. 328) found that over 30% of Americans used homeopathy in 1990.
Consider reading more about homeopathy, herbal treatments, mind/body connections, chiropractic, nutritional therapies or Chinese medicines. Used alone for minor conditions or in conjunction with conventional medicine, they can enhance your family's overall health and reduce your health care expenditures.
(Warning: The secular market is inundated with books and speakers promoting health care via New Age theology, which puts man first. Know what to look for and what to avoid, and/or ask your Christian book store owner to help you.)
Talk to friends and family about your health care concerns. If you subscribe to the Internet or an on-line service, participate in discussion groups concerning this topic. Use health care providers as consultants, but listen to what your body is telling you and trust God to help you make the best choices.
Insurance Options
If you're responsible for buying your own medical insurance, ask for competitive bids and study the options. By analyzing the choices for deductibles and copayments, you can reduce your monthly medical insurance bills and have more control over your family's health care costs. Families who have to pay for medical insurance and fees are much more discriminating.
For example, Blue Cross individual health insurance offers deductibles from $300 to $3,000. In the 34-year-old category, with a $300 deductible, a family of four could expect to pay $216 per month. In contrast, if the same family opted for a $3,000 deductible policy, the monthly payment would drop to $92.80. That's a savings of $1,480 per year, provided family members remain relatively healthy.
Barbara Gracey, from the Health Insurance Association of America, affirms that while families needs differ, choosing a higher deductible can save money in the short run. Tracy Andrus, vice president of public affairs and corporate communications at Blue Cross of Idaho, cautions, however, that "higher deductibles work best for families with relatively good health."
While there are many practical ways to reduce health care expenses, it always should be remembered that the power of healing ultimately lies in God's hands. Consequently, all health care and treatment programs should begin and end with prayer.
Pray not only for yourself and family members, but for friends when they are sick. In your faithfulness, you will be blessed as you see the hand of God's provision in your life and the lives of others.
The connection between healing and prayer is well documented in Larry Dossey's book, Healing Words - The Power of Prayer and The Practice of Medicine. His book also reveals the importance of choosing a physician who shares your faith. If your doctor prays for your recovery, you have an improved chance of getting better.
When afflictions are serious, consider the importance of James 5:14-15 where the ailing person is advised to invite the elders of the church to pray over him or her.
In addition to asking God for help, don't forget to praise God when healing is provided.
So, don't wait for the federal government to take action on the health care issue; stretch your health care dollars by taking a proactive, preventive, practical and prayerful approach to your family's health.

I'm on a slap-free kick as of the last few days.
Meaning: no foundation, no tinted moisturizer, no minerals, no powders.
I've been sticking to standard daily moisturizer, SPF and a touch of concealer for spots.
And experimenting with a medley of cream/liquid/stain/gel blushes.
1. My skin is uber sensitive. It likes to flair up and freak out over most products it's introduced to.
2. I'm pretty neurotic about sun protection. Having once been a brown-baby, I started to steer clear of most sun exposure in my teens.
3. I'm fair. I'm freckled. So if using a moisturizer that contains an SPF30, as well as throwing an additional straight SPF40 into the mix makes me seem a little loco - Well… have you seen what happens to the freckly-faced after too much Vitamin D?
4. Greasy monkey. Shine and I don't really get along. Obtaining the "dewy look" has never been my bag seeing as though I feel like an oil-slick after a few hours of donning face makeup and cannot avoid having to touch-up and powder-down at least once throughout the day.
Which brings me to the picture above.
Hunting blogs and Makeup Alley Reviews and totally cracking out on Lisa Eldridge Videos last night brought me to Becca.
I've had a couple of their products lying in my makeup graveyard over the years that never really wowed me much so I kind of forgot about the line.
But I kept seeing/reading/hearing about their Beach Tint - an oil/streak/paraben/preservative free gel-like waterproof colour for cheeks and lips.
So I decided to investigate some more.
Which led me to their site and that there photo.
First off - She's striking (her hair looks a little saltwater crunchy but I'm not dishing 'dos right now).
Her freckles are quite enchanting, the black & white imagery - captivating.
But most of all, that is some bangin' there-but-not-there-no-makeup-makeup-application.
Despite how minimal the product use might have been or how large a role Photoshop played.
I don't really care, it still hooked me.
So I'm now on a quest.
To further embrace my freckle-age, to hopefully scrap face slap entirely, to find a divine new rouge and to nab an opportunity to create an image like that for my portfolio.

#2139 The rules only apply to other people
I was always the naughty kid in my class at school. Well intentioned and good natured, but naughty all the same. I was the guy who'd run around the room, talking to anyone who'd listen and doing anything I could to make my classmates laugh. My teachers used to write on every one of my report cards, "Isaac disrupts his fellow students' learning environment." It wasn't my fault, I just had too much energy for the classroom and I could never understand why I wasn't allowed to just do what I wanted to do. Needless to say, my academic record was less than stellar. I'd flourish under teachers who had the patience to deal with me, but flounder under everyone else.
My first and second years of high school were a write-off, my third year I was lucky to have a string of good teachers and I achieved excellent results, my fourth year was an abject failure, and my final year was much the same except for classical studies, where I scored 84% in the final exam. I had plenty of teachers tell me I'd never succeed in life because I could never apply myself to anything, and other teachers who no doubt held celebrations when I was finally out of there.
So I left school with no formal qualifications above Fifth Form Certificate. No Sixth Form Certificate, no Bursary, no University Entrance. I went to work at Christchurch's top hairdressing salon, and slaved away for 12 hours a day, five or six days a week, for six months.
My girlfriend at the time – who lived in Auckland – was an incredibly intelligent and highly ambitious girl who'd left school after sixth form to study law. She told me that I was far too clever to be wasting my life away shampooing hair in Christchurch, and advised me to go to university.
Now I was faced with a dilemma. I had no University Entrance and the rules state that if you don't have University Entrance, you can't gain entrance to university. So here's what I did: I called up the dean of Arts at Canterbury University and told him who I was, what I did, and why I thought he should let me enroll. He told me to come in the next day for a sit down chat. The next day we sat down, talked for 15 minutes, and he approved my application for first year Arts. I did one semester at Canterbury University, then transferred up to Auckland to finish my degree (BA in Film and Sociology). And I never failed a paper.
This experience taught me several things: 1. Don't ever let something silly like rules hold you back; 2. If you want to get something done, call up the person with the power and authority to do it, and if you plead your case well enough, it'll probably get done; 3. Sometimes you just need somebody to slap you in the face and say 'Stop wasting your life away'; and 4. The school system doesn't work very well for people with high energy levels, a natural disregard for authority and a serious lack of personal discipline when it comes to getting work done – ie teenagers.
Finally, if you're a teacher, never tell a kid they're not going to amount to anything. It's such a jerk move.

My approach to the students who don't apply themselves is to tell them they are better than that! I'll tell you in a month how well it works! Agree structured education doesn't work for everyone!
- March 15, 2012 at 8:41 AM
Fascinating, Isaac. I admire your chutzpah! However, I presume that the Dean of Arts was aware that you had gained a scholarship grade in Classics, in your final year at high school and had also done very well in your third year. Had you failed everything in your final year, I'm sure even you would have been declined entry to Uni. Totally agree with all your lessons from this experience, and particularly with your final point that no-one, and especially teachers, should ever tell someone that they're not going to succeed. What utter arrogance! Show me the crystal ball.

I read recently that many of the great architects never studied architecture - they just 'did it'. Sir Christopher Wren was an English and Latin tutor who didn't design anything until he was in his mid-thirties. You make the path by walking.

I have kept a card I received in my last year of high school from my English teacher. At my school any student who achieved over a certain mark got a congratulatory card from their teacher. Mine reads: Dear Rebeccah, I knew you could do this, I just didn't think you would. Take care, Mrs Lean.
The old backhanded compliment!
- March 15, 2012 at 11:10 AM
The backhanded compliment has been getting men lucky for centuries. Mrs Lean was onto a good thing!

hindsight is a wonderful thing. I think the slap in the face worked well because it came from a hot/brainy girl, as opposed to a parent/teacher. i think i may secretly employ one to get my talented/lounger son off the sofa.

Yes, both my parents are extreme over achievers and their pep talks never seemed to work. I'm sure you're right.

I actually think most unis do take Isaac's sort of case on a genuine case-by-case basis and weigh up all factors... My sister had a similar situation, where the last year of high school she completed was fourth form, so she had absolutely NO pass results from 5th-7th form. Her school difficulties had been due to a series of horrible family tragedies, which she didn't want to feel like she was cashing in on. But after a couple of years unemployed and a couple of years working her butt off in a manual job, she realised how badly she wanted to go to uni. She is really smart, and had developed a strong work ethic, but just had zero to show from her whole high school career - no certificates, no good reports, not even a very good attendance record. Like Isaac, she spoke to the Head of the uni department she wanted to attend, and they relatively readily accepted her to the programme after an in-depth interview and reading a recommendation letter from her work supervisor. She's in her final year at a great uni and has also never failed a paper!
Just wanted to tell that story to show that if you are determined enough and prepared to truly put yourself out there (I know it was tempting for my sister not to go to uni at all because getting accepted involving laying her whole life out in front of someone), you can get what you want. It might be hard or even painful, but you can do it. Also, the NZ school system is not a great predictor of success.
Thanks for these stories of late, Isaac, they are awesome!

Congrats to your sister!!

Syl, thanks for sharing that inspiring story about your sister. I'm delighted to learn that there is still a human face behind the bureaucratic veil, something I've always loved about NZ, but which is increasingly disappearing as we become more and more influenced by other much larger and more impersonal societies, such as the US.
- March 15, 2012 at 5:26 PM
I really admire how you went after what you wanted and didn't let a little (yet seemingly huge) thing like lack of university entrance stop you. I will remember this the next time I feel like giving up too easily! Holla.
- March 15, 2012 at 7:58 PM
Loving your stories this week! Cheers for such a great read :)
- March 15, 2012 at 10:45 PM
Thank-you so much for this! :) I just finished high school last year and I can relate to parts of this and it's inspiring, because there is always more than one way of doing things. It's frustrating when teachers only see one path. There is always more than one way especially if you want something enough.
- March 16, 2012 at 12:54 AM
I think I've said this before, but I'll say it again. I have a huge amount of admiration for the way you go after what you want. This post is fantastic and I'm going to force my 18 year old brother to get out of bed and read it - then I'm going to steal Sarah's idea and get one of my hot friends to deliver the much needed slap in the face!

I started my senior year of high school at the local public high school, but after a quarter of struggling in all my subjects, I transferred to an alternative school. When I wouldn't have graduated easily or maybe at all from the public school, I was done with high school at the alt. school THREE WHOLE MONTHS earlier than all my peers. I consider that a success!
In my opinion, it's not necessarily all teenagers who don't function well in regular school systems. I have friends who do fabulously in that setting. They take AP classes, play sports, and are generally incredibly happy people. I wasn't one of them, though! The first extracurricular I did was in my senior year, after transferring schools, and even though I took some AP classes at the public school, I did miserably in them. Also, I absolutely hated my life the whole time I was at the public school!
It all comes down to different types of people & different learning styles. I've been told I'm highly gifted & very smart for most of my life, but the public high school system just couldn't harness that energy!

text: Another wordy post ahead! If yesterday's outfit was an example of the importance of waiting and not settling, today's outfit is quite the opposite; it's all about settling and opportunism, and how that can pay off, as well. I have been looking for a slash neck black wool or cashmere jumper for a very long time now, and have yet to find it. I've got a slash neck black tee, which can sometimes play the role I see for the much-wanted black wool jumper, but not always, and certainly not when I want warmth. The jumper I am wearing in this photo is one I found while on the still-unsuccessful search. I came upon it while on one of my endless thrifting trawls, and initially thought I'd struck gold, until closer examination showed the neck was more of a short, wide funnel with saddle shoulders. Nonetheless, I liked it, and a semi-slouchy black wool sweater in very good condition turning up on a thrift store rack seemed like the kind of thing I shouldn't pass up, especially since, A.) it's made by Dolce & Gabbana, and B.) It only cost £1. I'm going to go ahead and call this probably my biggest thrift score ever, at least in terms of value for money. It's definitely going to work as both a stopgap and a useful addition to my wardrobe on its own merits. I'm definitely getting there, on my good basics list, and the process is making it much easier for me to understand which things in my present wardrobe really work for me, and which are going to languish unworn, because even though I like them, I suppose they don't really feel as if they fit into my evolving style. Some of the things I know I need in order to get my phone-it-in-and-still-feel-fantastic capsule wardrobes that still remain to be sourced, and are currently always in my mind when I'm out shopping, are as follows: Black wool or cashmere slash neck jumper. (I'd like one in white, as well, but consider that less of a priority.) Winter white crepe wool pants that actually work with my figure, instead of making me want to swear off pants forever. I will be pretty flexible on the actual shade of off-white; ideally, we're talking something close to a creamy ivory, but I'm OK with cooler tones as well. I'm getting much better with the whole pants thing, but still, nothing will make me feel dowdier than a pair of unflattering or matronly-looking trousers. I have white denim and white cotton pants I'm happy with, although my boot cut jeans are just too big, and need to be altered or replaced, but again, that's a low priority, because white boot cuts and our wet and slushy winters are a bad mix. As mentioned yesterday, I'd like some better-fitting skinny jeans, but I'm OK with the ones I have for quite a while. A not-too-sweet lace or lace-embellished silk blouse. White, ivory, or blush would be fine. I am also making friends with button-up shirts, at long last! Absolutely no seed pearls, rhinestones, or other twee blingy trim, thank you. Those are made for a person who is not me. A couple of neutral wool or cashmere pullovers. I'm flexible about collars, as long as they aren't prow-of-a-great-sailing-vessel tight crew necks, but I'm being very picky about hem length. A black leather tote bag, and oh my gosh, I am being SO picky on this one. No garish logos, no excessive hardware. Roomy, fairly lightweight, with a shoulder strap, and it has to have the kind of closure I can get into and out of without hassle. I have learned the bitter, hard way that no matter how much I like way the bag looks, if it's got a fiddly closure, I am not going to use that bag, because I will hate it, and hate myself for buying yet another gorgeous bag I won't use because of the hateful closure. I also much prefer unstructured, or lightly structured bags, but I'm slightly more flexible on this. This I will pay (by my standards) fairly big money for, because I want the sort of quality construction and materials that can stand up to the kind of abuse I routinely give my workhorse tote bags. There are other things, but these are the ones I'm really watching like a hawk for at the moment. I am always keen on good wool skirts (I'd like some longer pencil skirts, for example) and good sheath dresses. I have a thing for coats and jackets, and have seriously pruned down my cardigan collection. I'm probably going to severely prune my accessories as well, and my shoes. I'm about to do the seasonal changeover in my wardrobe, and stuff I didn't wear this summer, and can't realistically imagine myself wearing again will be going, as will stuff I wasn't sure of when I packed away my winter clothes. When I retrieve stuff from their Rubbermaid holding pens, I tend to get instant clarity on whether or not they should stay or go, and that's always a relief. Sending the wardrobe orphans out for adoption into loving homes is always a big relief, when I just suck it up and do it, and I'm looking forward to that. Anyway, that's kind of where I am on the style journey. Thanks for reading and commenting, when you're so moved, and now, onto the details: Jumper: Dolce and Gabbana, thrifted. £1, y'all. So many reasons to thrift, but I think that's gotta be one of the most compelling. Necklace: H&M, remixed. I will never stop loving this necklace. Definitely one of my signature pieces, but really, it's just SO useful. Skirt: River Island. Pink and black again! I really cannot resist it, but I'm starting to think what I find so irresistible is almost any high-contrast colour pairing with black. Fishnet hose: Uh, I have no idea. They were wodged up in my tights chest (oh god, the shame, I have an entire chest full of tights) and led directly to me actually tidying up and organizing my tights, because seriously, I had wodged-up fishnets and didn't know it? Heeled loafers: Sofft, remixed, via Gracey. Hello, indispensable new shoes! Comments Permalink thrifted remixed i have lots of thoughts basics: the quest

Bitlocker and Intel SRT?
Hi, I was thinking of setting up an intel smart response technology system using my hdd and my ssd.
I have done this previously, so this shouldn't be a problem, but I also want to use Bitlocker at the same time (I mean on the same drive)
Do you think it is possible?
Also, if it is, then would the files on the ssd be encrypted? If those are not secured, than it is pointless to use Bitlocker with SRT.
Thanks for your answers in advance, any thoughts are welcome.

In 2000, four-time US Presidential Candidate Gus Hall died on this day at Lenox Hill Hospital, Manhattan, New York. Hall led the Communist Party USA (CPUSA) since 1959 when he had also received the Order of Lenin.
Childhood Mentor by Eric Oppen & Ed.He ran for president four times, in 1972, 1976, 1980, and 1984, the last two times with Angela Davis. Due to the great expense of running, the difficulty in meeting the strenuous and different election-law provisions in each state, and the difficulty in getting media coverage, it was decided that the CPUSA would suspend running national campaigns, while continuing to run candidates at the local level (a policy decision that would remain in effect until 2008).
Whilst comrades deeply respected Hall for serving as leader until his death, it was universally agreed that a breakthrough was required for the CPUSA. A sharp change in direction was offered by a self-styled "skinny guy with a funny name". Because in his biography "Dreams of my Childhood Mentor" Barry Obama described how his mother met the revolutionary communist intellectual Frank Marshall Davis during his early years in Hawaii. Davis influence would steer him away from his failed law studies towards his eventual leadership of the CPUSA, a path Obama would describe as "Walking a straight line in a crooked world".
"Walking a straight line in a crooked world"His elevation to leadership took the CPUSA to a new level, enabling Obama to credibly run as a third party candidate for the Presidency in 2008. Deeply concerned that he would split the left-wing bloc vote, President John F. Kerry would threaten Obama with indictment under the Alien Registration Act, a fate which had also befallen Hall who had spent eight years at Leavenworth Prison for his advocacy of Marxist thought.
The Act was proposed by Congressman Howard W. Smith of Virginia, a Democrat and a leader of the "anti-labor" bloc of Congressmen to legislate against war-time traitors who sought to "to teach and advocate the overthrow of the U.S. government by force and violence". President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed the Act during 1941. alongside his own Executive Order 9066 ("Japanese American internment") which called for the forcible relocation and internment of approximately 110,000 Japanese nationals and Japanese Americans to housing facilities called "War Relocation Camps", The Smith Act was still on the books in 2008, presenting an opportunity for a desperate President to win a second term, beating his more charismatic contestant by fair means or foul.

i drop off my car at the service station and go up the block to get a haircut while i'm waiting. i can see the big red 'open' sign in the corner of the window from across the street but i don't see joe. maybe he forgot to turn the sign around yesterday when he went home. i start to cross the street and then i see him in the back. and then i see a guy with a baseball cap sitting in one of the waiting chairs. i get a little closer and see that the guy is bald so maybe he's not waiting at all. i get to the door and go in.
my barber shop is called, shore road hairstylists. the painted sign over the storefront stretches the length of the shop, 'shore road' in red on a yellow backdrop and 'hairstylists' underneath in much larger letters. the storefront window on the right has some plants that aren't doing too bad but the left window is bare except for a small black marquis leaning up against the far wall. some of the plastic letters are missing and the prices are incorrect. i take my coat off and lay it down in this area instead of hanging it in the back on the coat rack which i usually do. i don't want to go near the bar. joe has a little set up with a couple of bottles, an ice bucket and some glasses spread out on a white linen napkin. it's early but joe always offers me a drink and has one himself. he motions me to the front of three seats giving the seat a crack with his towel. there are three red leather barber chairs, the arms of which are curved, white porcelain. the foot rest is a dull chrome and there is chrome detailing around the bottom of the seat cushion. more than once i have come into the shop and joe was napping in one of the chairs in the fully reclined position. it let's out a breathy 'hiss' as i sit down.
'i guess you're just hanging out, seeing as your bald under there,' i say to the guy sitting in one of the folding chairs on the opposite wall.
'yeah, i'm moving to florida for good tomorrow so i stopped in to say goodbye to joe. i been coming here for years.' he's wearing a black korean war veteran hat that says, 'l950-53 25th infantry division.' he has a puffy blue flight jacket on and a pair of new looking acid wash jeans. his sneakers are white new balance.
'what part of florida?' i ask.
'we rented an apartment in sarasota but we're looking to buy something once we get the lay of the land.'
'my parents lived in ft. myers for 25 years.'
'oh! so you know the area.'
'yeah. quite well.'
joe asks me, 'what'll it be' and i say the same thing i say every time,
'1 1/2 all over, please.'
'we were looking at cape coral. that's near ft. myers.'
'i'd say it IS ft. myers but you don't want to buy there. that's right in the flood plain.'
'oh, really?'
'yeah. the insurance must be astronomical if you can even get it.'
'what do you think of ft. myers, in general.'
'i like it a lot. it's like a normal town. people actually live there and are from there. it's not lousy with snowbirds and the snowbirds that come seem a little more middle class - not like the redneck riviera up in the panhandle or the crazy, glitzy neon of miami or the rich enclaves of naples or lauderdale - just normal people, which in florida is fairly unusual.'
'huh. well, we'll have to investigate that more. what about punta gorda?'
'i don't know. it was nice before charley nearly wiped it off the map. i hear it's come back.'
joe has put the neck strip around my neck, fastened the hair cloth around me and removed my glasses. now he is untangling the clipper with some difficulty.
'you picked a hell of a last winter,' i say. this has been the worst winter in the 13 years i have lived in new york city.
'yeah. i've had it. but it gets hot down there. 'specially in the summer.'
'oh, yeah. and the bugs. you're going to meet some new critters.'
joe chuckles. he's wearing a kerchief around his neck which i've never seen him do. maybe he's had some medical procedure but i don't bring it up.
'the waterbugs don't bother me. but i never wear flip-flops in the grass down there 'cuz of the snakes.'
'i've never actually seen any poisonous snakes down there,' i say. i used to work in my mom's garden all the time but all i saw was the garter snake she called her 'little buddy'.
'oh, i have! i fish a lot and you have to watch out for the water moccasins. they'll crawl right up into your boat.'
'really? they can climb up fiberglass or whatever?'
'my boat's really low to the water.'
i think about this. 'climb' isn't really the right word. 'crawl'? no. i guess what they do is, 'slither', but who goes around using the word, 'slither'.
'well, you can beat the heat fishing. isn't most of the best fishing in the morning or the evening?'
'depends what you're going for. i love grouper and they love to hide out under bridges so there's some shade there, at least.'
'i hope you're careful of the manatee.'
'very much so. those are just amazing creatures and we always observe the no wake signs. there's a lot of idiots down there that don't.'
'i know. my mom used to volunteer at the manatee park up the callosahatchee near the power plant.'
'i've fished under the freeway bridge up there but the power plant makes the water too warm for grouper.'
'it's just right for manatee calving.'
we continue to discuss the wildness that is florida. i tell the story i always tell when the subject of mosquitoes comes up. the one where i'm playing golf in winnipeg and i go into the woods to pee and my dick gets beset by hundreds of mosquitoes being the only place on my body i hadn't thought to cover in bug spray. this elicits another chuckle from joe. i feel the clipper skip up the back of my head. joe misses spots and i usually have to have my wife touch up the cut. one time i just shaved my head after i saw him.
i go on, 'you know, it took the u.s. army three wars to get the seminoles out of florida. can you imagine being one of those soldiers? they basically had to form a human chain all the way to the everglades and the indians just picked them off and ran into the swamp. and they were probably so delirious from malaria and heat stroke, it was easy.'
nobody says anything. joe hasn't said anything so i'm not surprised when he doesn't but the other guy is thinking.
'yes, it was terrible what we did to the indians,' he finally says.
we. it's interesting how certain people will take responsibility for things they had no part in. i've never been involved in genocide against indians or owned slaves but there is a part of me as an american that feels guilty about it. i pegged this guy for a gung-ho type american, the kind that makes no apologies. i'm glad to be wrong.
'where did you live here?' i change the subject.
'just down the street there on 94th near marine.'
'this is a great neighborhood. i've just been here a year-and-a-half but i love it.'
'it's changed a lot. it's not like it used to be.'
'what is?'
'yeah, but it's different now.'
'i don't know how it was. i mean, i saw 'saturday night fever' and everything. i just like living on the water - around all this history - i love imagining what happened right here. the footsteps that i'm stepping in.'
'what do you mean?'
'you know, like some revolutionary soldier was hauling ass up the ridge here to get away from the british who were landing where the bridge now is.'
'i never thought of it like that.'
'and you know how every ship that's ever come into new york harbor had to pass right by my window. that means every immigrant that came through ellis island and so much more. it's kind of mind boggling.'
and then he says something kind of unexpected,
'i've only been talking to you a short time but you sound like a very spiritual person.'
noone has ever said this to me before.
'i'm not religious,' i say.
'no, that's not what i mean. the way your imagination works. the way you see all the people through history that have passed before you. it's spiritual.'
'i guess it is.'
joe has finished with my neck and has unsnapped the hair cloth.
'nice and clean.' the same thing he always says.
'thanks, joe.'
it's a $10 haircut. i give joe $20 and ask for $5 back.
'nice talking to you, sir, and good luck with your new life.'
'you too, pal. you, too.'
we shake hands and i leave them to pick up my car.

Luther love PetGuard
posted 6 years ago
I have an 18 year old cat, Luther. Because of his advanced age, he sometimes has trouble keeping food down and he also has given up on dry food. I discovered PetGuard canned cat food at our local organic food store (Raisin Rack) Since he began eating PetGuard he rarely throws up and loves the taste. He has also gained weight which is good since he lost so much over the years due to thyroid problems. I highly recommend.
Pros: easy on digestion, tasty
Cons: expensive

AAC Wins 787 Completion Contract
Associated Air Center (AAC) of Tempe, Ariz., has been awarded a contract for the custom interior completion of a Boeing 787-8 BBJ, and staffing, training and infrastructure development are under way in preparation for the project. AAC expects delivery of the green aircraft from Boeing by this summer, and AAC's in-house design is now undergoing a full review. The contract, signed in late December, capped months of discussions and work with Boeing engineers.
The 787's composite structure requires special training, unique tooling and state-of-the-art design considerations for interior work. Jack Lawless, AAC's CEO, calls the project "a game changer in the world of custom interior completions," saying, "Not only is this a major milestone for AAC, it represents a monumental leap forward for the entire custom interiors completions industry, as this aircraft is unlike any other in the world."
Work will be performed at parent company StandardAero's transport-category VIP completion center in Dallas. "The AAC team has a long and proven history on several Boeing platforms," said Boeing Business Jets president Steve Taylor. "We look forward to working with AAC in support of its first 787 BBJ interior completion."
The 787-8 offers 2,404 sq ft (223.3 sq m) of cabin floor area and a range of 9,590 nm. AAC did not disclose the identity of the aircraft owner or the project cost.

Four Ways to Avoid a Hangover
Take a multivitamin The body can deal with a certain amount of alcohol thanks to the liver. Enzymes in the liver convert alcohol into acetaldehyde, which is the chemical responsible for that embarrassing facial flushing, as well as the headaches and nausea which are part and parcel of hangovers. In order to detoxify alcohol, liver enzymes require the mineral zinc and B vitamins, particularly B1. A good multivitamin will contain these nutrients.
Eat before you go
Party food is a trap for the unwary. Eat a nutritious meal before you go to the party. Food in your stomach will also slow down the rate of alcohol absorption.
Drink coconut water
Dehydration is a major contributor to a hangover. If you have partied hard, as soon as you get home (no matter what time), drink 500 millilitres of coconut water. The fluid will rehydrate you, and the coconut water will top up your electrolyte (minerals) and blood-glucose levels, both of which take a beating with heavy drinking.
Take St Mary's thistle
The average liver handles about one standard drink an hour. Remember, a standard drink is not a Long Island iced tea. More than this and unpleasant by-products such as acetaldehyde circulate in the bloodstream, maintaining a holding pattern above the liver until it is ready to take on more grog.
St Mary's thistle (Silybum marianum) is the liver herb. It has been shown to protect the liver against alcohol damage and reduce the severity of a hangover, particularly if taken a few hours before the event

shift of the species R. pomonella from its ancestral host hawthorn (Crataegus spp.) to introduced, domesticated apple (Malus pumila) within the last 150 years in the eastern United States is often cited as an example of host race formation in action, the hypothesized initial stage of sympatric speciation (Bush, 1966, 1969). However, we have discovered a surprising geographic source of genetic variation contributing to sympatric host shifts (Feder et al., 2003a). Based on gene trees constructed for three anonymous nuclear loci mapping to separate rearrangements on chromosomes 1–3 of the R. pomonella genome, as well as mtDNA, we inferred that an ancestral, hawthorn-infesting fly population became geographically subdivided into Mexican and "Northern" (United States) isolates ≈1.57 million years ago (Mya). Episodes of gene flow from the Altiplano highland fly population in Mexico subsequently infused the Northern population with inversion polymorphism affecting key diapause traits, forming adaptive clines. Later, diapause variation in the latitudinal inversion clines appears to have aided flies in the United States in shifting and adapting to various new plants with different fruiting times. These shifts were mediated by population-level changes in allele (inversion) frequencies, generating premating and postmating reproductive isolation in the process and helping to spawn several new host-specific taxa, including the recently formed apple race. We stress that we are not contending that the R. pomonella complex in the United States evolved in allopatry. Rather, certain raw genetic material contributing to the adaptive radiation of R. pomonella in the United States originated in a different time and place than the proximate ecological host shifts triggering sympatric divergence.
The evidence for past introgression and its contribution to sympatric host shifts could be interpreted as indicating that inversions preferentially flowed from the Mexican Altiplano into the Northern fly population after secondary contact. However, the persistence of latitudinal clines in the United States suggests that environmental factors may have constrained the spread (prevented the fixation) of the inversions relative to other genes. Hawthorns tend to fruit later in southern latitudes (H.D. and J.L.F., unpublished data). Hawthorn-fly populations in the United States track this geographic variation in host phenology, possessing inversion genotypes for chromosomes 1–3 in the "South" that cause them to eclose later in the season (Feder and Filchak, 1999; Feder et al., 2003a; Filchak et al., 2000). The pattern continues into Mexico. In the Altiplano, flies infest their primary hawthorn hosts, Crataegus mexicana and Crataegus rosei var. rosei, from mid-October to late December (J.R., J.L.F., S. Berlocher, and M.A., unpublished data). However, in the United States, R. pomonella infests various different hawthorn species, mainly from mid-August to late October. Mexican flies take significantly longer to eclose than U.S. flies, even those from Texas (H.D., J.L.F., J.R., S. Berlocher, and M.A., unpub-

Economic Evaluations are tools that health economists use to assess the cost-effectiveness of healthcare interventions. Economic evaluations also include the notion of 'choice' in which the relative values of alternative courses of action are weighed. A typical question asked is:
'What are the additional costs and benefits of switching from Drug A to Drug B?'
Decision-makers are better able to judge the economic value of an intervention, by assessing whether benefits justify the costs.
A good working definition of an economic evaluation is: 'the comparative analysis of alternative courses of action in terms of both their costs and consequences'. The role of a health economist is, therefore, to identify, measure, value and compare the costs and consequences of a particular medical intervention.

Sharks. Hallucinations. Jellyfish. A swollen tongue. Sensory deprivation.
Those are just a few of the challenges that await 61-year-old Diana Nyad when she swims non-stop for about 60 hours to cross the 103 miles from Cuba to Key West. If she makes it, Nyad, who already holds the record for the longest ocean swim, will be the person to make this trek without a shark cage.
Nyad explains why she's trying this swim, one she attempted decades ago, again now:
Ms. Nyad pinned the reason on her gallop toward 60; it unsettled her greatly. She needed a fresh, powerful target to stir up her energy and ambition. And although she had given up swimming abruptly in 1979, a casualty of burnout, her mind seized on her unsuccessful swim to Key West.
"This is what I need to remedy my malaise," Ms. Nyad said. "I need commitment to take over. That level of commitment has such a high. There is no thinking about regrets or what will I do with the rest of my life. I'm immersed in the everyday, full tilt. It's so energizing."
Serious props. Maybe if I start now, I'll be as bad-ass by the time I'm 61.

Archbishop Borders School students now have a new space to enjoy reading books, and it's not a school library.
Thanks to a grant from Bank of America and the Ben Carson Scholars Fund, students at the bilingual elementary-middle school at 3500 Foster Ave. now have a print and electronic book collection, and a dedicated reading room in which to enjoy them.
The grant of around $10,000 covered the cost of books, Nook e-readers, shelves, decorations, a sofa, and comfortable floor seating, according to Kristina Collins, a teacher at Archbishop Borders who was in charge of putting the reading room together.
While the bulk of the grant money was spent creating the reading room, a portion of the funds are held in escrow for maintenance and replacement costs, Collins says.
What makes the reading room different from a library, Collins explains, is that it is dedicated to reading for fun–with the hope that reading for pleasure will improve student literacy, especially among reluctant readers.
"It's a reading lounge, a place to enjoy a good book that you want to read. Students can't take out the books. They can't bring in pens or pencils either. That helps preserve the integrity of the books," says Collins, who teaches sixth-, seventh-, and eighth-grade social studies and literature.
The Archbishop Borders School reading room is one of 88 Ben Carson Scholars reading rooms established since 2000 around the country, and the 46th in Maryland.
Two other such reading rooms in the East Baltimore area are at Graceland Park/O'Donnell Heights Elementary and at Wolfe St. Academy.
Collins believes that Archbishop Borders School is the first Catholic School to be awarded a reading room via the Carson Scholars Fund. In order to get the funding to create a Ben Carson Reading Room, the Carson Scholars Fund works with individuals, businesses, civic organizations, and foundations.
The Carson Scholars Fund is named for Dr. Ben Carson, a noted Johns Hopkins pediatric neurosurgeon—now a player in the political arena—who sees reading as a way to unlock the academic potential of students and promote lifelong learning. In addition to the reading rooms, the Carson Scholars Fund awards $1,000 college scholarships to students in grades 4-11 who excel academically and are dedicated to serving their communities.
Collins says that the reading room was a school-wide project.
"The students had a say in what books were purchased and eagerly looked forward to the opening of the reading room last month," she says.
"I ordered a lot of books for reluctant readers, such as Marvel comics, graphic novels, and Ripley's Believe it or Not. It's a pleasure for me to see the students devouring books and being completely engulfed. The reading room has already made a great impact."

The study will focus on outcomes of youth after they leave foster care, including: 1) an assessment of current functioning of 23-year-old foster care alumni (outcomes of interest include mental and physical health, education, employment, and community involvement); and 2) determining how services, opportunities, relationships with foster parents and agency staff may be related to outcomes.
SRO will collaborate with Casey Research Services staff on sample design, IRB approval, obtaining sample files, questionnaire design, pretesting, programming, locating respondents, data collection, coding, and producing final data files. 300 in-person interviews will be completed, at an average length of 120 minutes. Interviewing will take place in the State of Texas.
All SRO work will be conducted from January 2008 through June 2009, with data collection expected to start in the fall of 2008 (September/October) and concluding by end of March 2009.
