C.O. hospitals worry about proposed Medicare cuts
Updated On: Sep 12 2013 11:25:58 PM CDT
Changes to federal Medicare funding has rural, critical access hospital officials worried about the future.
There's 15 of them in Oregon, two in Central Oregon -- Prineville's Pioneer Memorial and St. Charles-Madras are at risk.
"The impact of this could be really huge. In Oregon that means 60 percent. 60 percent of critical access hospitals will close," Robin Henderson, director of government strategies at St. Charles Health System, said Thursday.
"Critical access" facilities are more than 35 miles away from the nearest hospital. They receive higher Medicare payments under a program dating from the late '90s. But a proposal in Washington, D.C., cuts that funding -- potentially saving the government millions.
But it also could cut off medical service access to thousands.
"You would also be putting Warm Springs at an extreme disadvantage," Henderson said. "They would now be more than 50 miles way from their closest health care system. That's a long haul."
It's still early, however, and officials aren't sure if the hospitals would close or just have their services cut back dramatically.
More than 200 jobs are at stake at each hospital, and it's difficult to keep a hospital staffed with little to no federal financial help.
"These are third- and fourth-largest employers in their communities, and taking jobs away from the most economically disadvantaged places in our country just doesn't make any sense," Henderson said.
Henderson said shifting patients to urban hospitals could end up costing Medicare more. The cost per Medicare patient is 3.7 percent lower in rural areas than in urban ones.
"How we care for people who have chronic health conditions -- that's local," Henderson said. "People aren't going to drive to Bend to treat something that's chronic and ongoing, like asthma."
Bob Gomes, CEO of St. Charles Redmond/Prineville, said, "It's about access, and when you have someone that's sick and in the hospital, and to be able to get that care 20 to 30 miles away -- it's tough on them. But it's also tough on the family and support system they have in place."
Officials agree the new program would not only affect the hospitals but the people who use them.
"It's more than just about this building -- it's about this community," Henderson said.
The proposal hasn't made its way into any legislation yet, but Henderson said she's already sent letters to Rep. Greg Walden, R-Ore., and Sen. Jeff Merkley, D-Ore., as well as Bend state Rep. Jason Conger and Sen. Tim Knopp, hoping they can help if the move advances.

What His Holiday Gifting Style Really Means
"It's the thought that counts" doesn't always feel true when you receive a present you didn't, er, expect. But you might be surprised by your husband's good intentions.
By Cathy Garrard
A vacuum cleaner
What it doesn't mean: He considers you a lousy housekeeper.
What it does mean: He wants to simplify your life.
Gifting your wife a home appliance is a sitcom cliché, but perhaps you should give the joke a new punch line. It really may be time for an upgrade, and while he isn't exactly helping, he thinks he is. "He's probably trying to lend a hand helping with the burden of maintaining the household, which is actually the opposite of what you might be offended by," says Greer.

Immediate Release: November 20, 2008
This is the second time that Kiriyama has been tabbed America East Coach of the Year and is in his tenth season at Binghamton. The Bearcats were picked to finish fourth in the conference, but Kiriyama led the team to a 9-3 AE record and a number two seed in this weekend's conference tournament. This is the fifth consecutive season that Kiriyama has led the Bearcats to a postseason appearance. Kiriyama was last honored as the top coach in 2005.
"[The coach of the year award] is one of those awards that are pretty much up to the team and how they perform," Kiriyama said. "It's also about the rest of the staff and even the trainer. It was a really good effort by everybody this year. Again, it's a team-type of award, but I am very honored."
The sophomore trio of Lejina, McDonough and Mueller has proven to be an integral part of the Bearcat's success this season and were rewarded by being named to the conferences first team.
"I thought that was very deserving for them," Kiriyama said. "Those three have been the most consistent players for our team all year and have really turned it on during conference. I'm really happy and proud for them and have to admit that they really worked hard for it."
Lejina, an outside hitter, is in her first year at Binghamton after transferring from the University of Latvia. She leads the America East in kills per set in conference games and posted 29 kills against Maine on Nov. 14, the highest single match total in the conference this season. Lejina amassed double-digit kills in 18 matches.
McDonough, who was named to the all-rookie team last season, ranks second in the AE in conference matches in kills per set and third in overall matches. McDonough showed her versatility against New Hampshire on Nov. 15 by posting a triple-double of 12 kills, 11 digs and 10 blocks. The outside hitter totaled double-digit kills in 19 games and surpassed 20 kills three times. She also had six double-doubles (kills-digs) on the season.
Mueller, the team's setter, was also named to the all-rookie team in 2007. The setter is ranked first in assists per set in the AE in conference matches this season. She also surpassed the 40-assists plateau 12 times this season and recorded nine double-doubles (assists-digs). She also ranks second on the team in digs.
The second-seeded Bearcats will take on third-seeded UMBC on Friday at 4 p.m.

Entelligence: The aftermath of E3 (Engadget)
Jun 19th 2010 10:17PM @LetsHaveWaffles
I think Microsoft and Sony are stealing. When when the Wii was first announced and when it first came out all they would say is that it's a gimmick and people will get tired of it. Now they are pushing Natal and Move as major peripherals? I don't know how well they are going to do, but I'm not convinced that gamers are going to shell out to buy peripherals unless they can be used with all games. The games look good and Natal is what every kid dreams of (games that follow your movement). But I don't think anyone can argue that Microsoft and Sony is not following Nintendo's lead on this. If the Wii didn't do well we probably would not be seeing Natal and the Move. The Move especially. I don't know how Sony can keep a straight face when talking about the Move.
This E3 I see as Microsoft and Sony saying "Look, we can do what the Wii does now!" while Nintendo is saying "Look at all the cool new games and fun things we are doing with the Wii and 3DS!".

On the Wii side they seem to be behind in that the Wii's hardware is getting dated. Also no one can argue that Nintendo does not reuse its franchises the most. You can always depend on a Mario, Zelda, Metroid game coming out. Not that that is a bad thing...

It'd be one thing if this was done in 2000 when IE had a monopoly on browsers and people really didn't have much choice besides IE/Netscape/Opera. But now it's just a waste of time, energy and money. I don't get why they are doing this now. If it's because Windows is a monopoly why don't they make MS add a welcome screen telling people to buy a Mac or install Linux instead?

Internet Explorer market share falling like a ton of bricks (Download Squad)
Feb 2nd 2009 11:52PM For me the reason IE is dropping is because they don't seem to be able to update it fast enough. All the other browsers get incremental updates steadily throughout the year. IE only gets critical security patches and no updates to improve.
We saw this with IE6 -> 7 and now it's happening with IE7 -> 8. They can't bring out a new version every 4 years and expect people wait for them.
If what people say about IE8 is true then I think Firefox is going to get close to 30% this year.

Dec 30th 2008 12:26PM I think Vista is the best OS as long as you have a powerful machine. It's not good for older machines, but works great as long as you have a 1ghz processor and 2GB RAM.
It was killed by bad marketing at Microsoft and effective marketing by Apple.
Fujitsu Siemens' netbook entry gets revealed (Engadget)
Jul 13th 2008 8:20PM I agree. These are low cost if you compare them to what these sized laptops normally cost (>$1500 usually).
I want a small netbook that is around $400-$500. Once it starts getting past the $500-$600 range I might as well start looking at a regular 13" laptop.
The ASUS Eee PC 1000 shows up for pre-order at Amazon (Engadget)
Jul 13th 2008 8:08PM I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks this is too expensive.
What happened to the sub $400 sub notebook? With these things you might as well get a 13-14" for the same price or a couple hundred more, larger screen, slightly heavier, much better processor and keyboard and easier to upgrade RAM and harddrive that does not void your warranty.
Just the warranty thing... if upgrading RAM or the harddrive is going to void the warranty I expect the machine to be disposable (read: very cheap).
I'm waiting for the MSI Wind to become available. Seems that reviews of the MSI compare it favorably to the new eeePCs.

Almost done with this book about 19 year old intern who had affair with JFK. Author Mimi Alford. Seriously can't think of a better description of this woman but spoiled skank. Said they never kissed...ever. Affair lasted 18 months even after she got engaged! Knew there were other women. Said she never felt bad about Jackie...that she was just keeping the president company while his wife was away. Most of time he trated her well bit one time asked her to give oral sex to his best friend while he watched and she did it! She dropped the bombshell on her fiance the night Kennedy died. They agreed to never talk about it again. Rugswept it. Stayed faithful for many years in a loveless marriage and then seduced a Guy she ran marathons with who was her friend.

'Wii Fit' Balance Board Gives New Meaning to Baby-Mobile
The 'Wii Fit' balance board may be used in the near future to actually mobilize infants, as well as special needs children who may not be able to fully control their own movements and extremities. To accomplish that feat, researchers at Ithaca College have stacked a 'Wii Fit' board (with an attached baby seat) on top of a robotic, motorized chair. The Fit-scooter employs "responsive pressure sensors in each of [the balance board's] four corners" so a seated tyke can control it simply by leaning in any direction. Built-in sonar also reportedly steers wayward babes away from dangerous obstacles or collisions, and an override joystick allows cautious parents and caregivers to commandeer the kid-carrier at any time.
Continued scientific research and formal studies still need to be performed, but the results of preliminary tests can be found in the group's original presentation to the Rehabilitation Engineering and Assistive Technology Society of North America.

Interventional Radiologists perform a new procedure that can relieve crippling back pain for some patients. The procedure is called Balloon Kyphoplasty {KIE-FO-PLASTY} and doctors at Martha Jefferson Hospital have performed nearly 500 of them. The surgery is usually done on older patients who are living with osteoporosis or weakened bones.
"They usually break really with minimal trauma, as little as going over a bump in a car or just a very minor fall, because their bones are week," said Dr. Anthony Spinelli.
That break can be fixed with the Balloon Kyphoplasty procedure. Despite the big name, it's really a small outpatient surgery to repair the fracture. When the bone breaks, it compresses the vertebrae so it is shaped more like a wedge instead of a cube.
"We place two needles into the fractured vertebral body and through these needles we put two balloons. These balloons we gently inflate together and what that does is it gets the vertebral body that's broken wedge configuration back up to its normal configuration. We then remove the balloons and introduce bone cement that goes into that cavity we created. The cement stabilizes that vertebral body," said Dr. Spinelli.
The balloon surgery decreases the pain from the fracture, and Dr. Spinelli says the complication rate from this procedure is less than one percent.
"The bottom line is it's an extremely safe procedure. It's minimally invasive and patients who have severe wedge compression fractures with significant pain, the benefit far outweigh the risk," he said.
If you are thinking seriously about Balloon Kyphoplasty as an option to cope with your back pain, the Intervention Radiologists at Martha Jefferson Hospital say there are other procedures, but Kyphoplasty is their choice to fight this costly and painful problem.

Today it's vital that we help create a new public consensus about who America wants to be as a country. That's why liberals and progressives need to learn how to frame their messages in ways more Americans can understand. To this end, The Metaphor Project (MP) has been building the capacity of cutting edge American progressive and liberal activists to 'speak American' since 1997.
As a result of our work, many important "early adopter" activist leaders have learned how to "speak American," on a wide range of issues (see Some Groups Served, What People Say about The Metaphor Project, Our 2013-2014 Calendar so far and Metaphor Project News). We believe that many more are now ready to move into "speaking American." To serve this new wider audience, we are once again in the process of redoing this web site.

Cortijo las Rosas is situated uniquely placed to provide easy access to the monuments of the great Andalucian cities and yet also give you peace and tranquility beside the pool. A place which gives you a mix of cultural sightseeing and total relaxation.
What makes this house unique
Situated in the middle of olive groves with wonderful views from the pool side and many of the casitas. Bird song rather than the noise of traffic.
Guestbook comments from the manager
We all had a fantastic time at Cortijo Las Rosas last month, we are a party of cyclists from who knew Steve from when he lived in Kent. We were lucky to have such fine weather early in the season, and the roads were quiet (if a little bit hilly!) for cycling.
The Casitas were an excellent base and being early in the season we were thankful for the wood burning stove for the chilly evenings.
Thanks very much to Gillian, Mary-Lynne and Steve for a fantastic stay - the swimming pool should be warming up nicely now. — with Peter Rowe and 3 others.

I don't know if I've ever mentioned it – or if anyone has ever noticed it – but a while ago I added social networking bookmarks at the bottom of each post. The links – you can see what they are when you roll over them with your mouse – allow you to bookmark the story at various networking sites, and also allow you to email or print the stories.
I've just added the ability to subscribe to an RSS feed for the story, and to link the story on Twitter. But most importantly, I've added a custom link to an exciting new site I've discovered recently.
A couple of weeks ago, I started getting links to various stories from a site called DisMarks. It turns out that this new site, still in beta testing, is kind of like Digg for Disney-related sites. You can submit stories you enjoy, and people can vote them up if they like them as well. It's a great way to find the cream of the crop of Disney blog and news stories for the day. I recommend that everyone go register and check out the site; the more people that take part in these sites, the better the quality of the results.
Also, obviously, if any of you particularly enjoy one of our posts here please do us a favor and click that little link to share it with the world. Enjoy!
UPDATE: I never thought I'd do this, but you can now follow our posts and updates on Twitter. Sigh. Just search for ProgressCityUSA and subscribe.

The Quiet Piano Man
Sizing Up the Understated Grace of Baltimore Jazz Great Ellis Larkins
One of Larkins' large, square hands could span 11 notes on the keyboard, and while he necessarily conducted his eloquent conversations with other musicians, singers, and audiences seated at the piano, he was also a master of nonverbal communication when he was away from it. To fill out his muffled, elliptical speech, he relied on a full repertoire of dramatic and often humorous hand signals.
"How well I know," says Marian McPartland, one of four pianists who went on a 1974 George Wein-sponsored tour of South America with Larkins, Earl Hines, and Teddy Wilson. She also had him on one of her early radio shows. McPartland has probably come to know more jazz pianists than anyone alive through her program Piano Jazz, which started in 1978 and is still carried on National Public Radio.
"Ellis liked to drink a bit," she says from her home in Port Washington, N.Y. "He said he would be glad to do the show if we could stop after every tune so he could have a drink and smoke a cigarette. And that's what we did. I brought a bottle of brandy and Crystal [Larkins' wife] had a bottle, and afterwards we all had a drink. We talked about a lot of things, the people who influenced him.
"He was an extremely fine musician with a great sense of humor. Stylistically, he was one of a kind," she says. "He wasn't a guy like Oscar Peterson who is all over the place with technique. The opposite was true of Ellis. He was deliberate and smooth with a wonderful sense of rhythm, an inner feeling of perfect time. He was elegant and very melodic.
"In the 1950s I was playing at the Hickory House [in Manhattan]," McPartland says. "I thought I had a pretty nice touch. Ellis came in and I invited him to play. He got a wonderful sound out of the piano, the best I ever heard. He had the most velvety touch.
"I had been thinking that it would be nice to fly Ellis up here and do Piano Jazz again. It's tough to lose touch with a friend. You don't really because the music is always there. I wish he wasn't dead, but he is somebody who will never be forgotten." McPartland plans to rebroadcast her original show with Larkins next year.
Jazz divas, a demanding group, similarly rank Larkins at the top. He accompanied some of the leading jazz vocalists and blues singers, from Mildred Bailey through Billie Holiday and Ella Fitzgerald, to Joe Williams and Chris Connor. Connor, the essence of cool, whose husky, limpid tone and controlled intensity can still send chills up your spine, is now 74, a working singer and recording artist who will appear at New York's Birdland in January and is planning a Japanese tour.
"Ellis was my absolute favorite pianist in the world--he just lifted you up into the clouds," she says, speaking from her home in Toms River, N.J. "He made an indelible impression on me. We did the first Bethlehem album together [Lullabies of Birdland, 1954], and it put Bethlehem and me on the map. I didn't know he had just finished playing with Ella. He was so easy and inspiring to work with. He just wrote out a few chord changes, and we took care of business. We were on a deadline--you know, the producer kept saying, 'Three hours, three hours, three hours.'
"Some people are great pianists but not great accompanists. Ellis had his own unique style, soft and sensitive," Connor says. "He never got in the way, he just enhanced you. He sounded like a full symphony. It's funny, I've had him on my mind for some reason. I wanted to work with him again. I found his address and I was going to ask him to if he wanted to get together and re-create that album."
Ellis Lane Larkins, the eldest of six children, was born in Baltimore on May 15, 1923. The family home at 1523 W. Lanvale St. is now the site of Harlem Park Elementary School. His father, John Wesley Larkins, was a janitor and caterer who played violin in the Baltimore City Colored Orchestra; his mother, Clara Emily Larkins, was a pianist. At the instigation of his parents, Ellis first took up the violin, then the piano. A prodigy, he made his piano debut with the Baltimore City Colored Orchestra at age 10. In 1935, he played before a large audience at Frederick Douglass High School that included Eleanor Roosevelt, who called him back to the stage and shook his hand.
Larkins later attended Douglass High; the required curriculum then included Latin and a modern foreign language (he took French). Among its distinguished graduates are Thurgood Marshall, Cab Calloway, and song-and-dance man Avon Long. (The building, at Calhoun and Baker streets, has since been converted to apartments.)
Between 1936 and '38, while in high school, Larkins studied classical music with a series of piano instructors and also attended the Peabody Preparatory School--not as a formal student, because the school did not accept blacks at that time, but by studying privately with some of its teachers. (In 1984, Peabody awarded the pianist an honorary bachelor of music degree.) Larkins also served as the assistant organist at the St. James Episcopal Church in Harlem Park.
At the same time, he was listening to jazz pianists on the radio and to the big bands at the Royal Theater on Pennsylvania Avenue: the Jimmy Lunceford Orchestra and Chick Webb's band with Ella Fitzgerald. After graduating from Douglass in 1940 at age 17, with a three-year, $200 scholarship to New York's Juilliard School of Music, Larkins took a train at Penn Station and didn't come back to Baltimore for almost 50 years.
In New York, he quickly found work as a pianist in clubs and restaurants while attending Juilliard, from which he graduated in 1943. He joined guitarist Billy Moore's trio, which played at the Café Society Uptown on East 58th Street, and took over the band when Moore became ill. The other band at the club was led by pianist Teddy Wilson, famed for his work with the Benny Goodman Quartet. He and Larkins alternated playing for dancers between the floor shows. Wilson, who had a light, fluid style, was a major influence on Larkins, and soon Ellis began to gain a reputation as a singer's accompanist.
In 1950, he made a classic series of Decca recordings with Ella Fitzgerald, since reissued as Pure Ella. The Penguin Guide to Jazz calls the album "a masterpiece, all of it with Larkins' gentle, perfect accompaniments." His Vanguard duet recordings with cornetist Ruby Braff have also become jazz classics and have been reissued.
When the British Invasion avalanche of the 1960s darkened many of the New York cabarets, Larkins did studio work, became a vocal coach and teacher, and spent the years from 1968 to 1972 in California as Joe Williams' accompanist. He returned to a somewhat revived Manhattan club scene, playing Gregory's on the Upper East Side and the Cookery in Greenwich Village before settling in at the Carnegie Tavern below Carnegie Hall at 56th Street and Seventh Avenue. There, six nights a week for seven years, he was an institution, known for playing short sets with long intermissions.
In 1988, weary of the nightclub business, Larkins and his wife (the former Crystal Ernestine Brown, also a native) returned to Baltimore in semi-retirement. He worked sporadically in the city's hotels and clubs and played an occasional concert at the Peabody or Coppin State College.
Jazz singers who did not work with Larkins seem to wish they had. Providence, R.I.'s Carol Sloane and Baltimore's Ethel Ennis both remark on his ability to stay out of the way. "Ellis really showed the world how to be an accompanist," Sloane says. "Jimmy Rowles [another formidable jazz pianist, accompanist, and toper], with whom I lived at the time, went to the Carnegie Tavern to hear him play. He would play a couple of tunes and take a long intermission. Jimmy loved it--he thought it was great."
But it was more than just staying out of the way. "He knew how to phrase with the singer," Ennis says. Musically breathing in and breathing out, falling behind and catching up, knowing when to lead and when to follow: These things Larkins did superbly in his understated way. His own ideas he delivered authoritatively but quietly. He made people listen. One of a long line of Baltimore pianists stretching back to Eubie Blake and up to Cyrus Chestnut that includes Don Abney and Albert Dailey (both excellent accompanists), he was as unique a player and an individual as Thelonious Monk.
"He walked off an airplane," recalls Marian McPartland, "like an ambassador." He was that, too, from another age in Baltimore and in jazz. Ellis Larkins was a class act. His music will live on, but we are unlikely to hear or see anyone quite like him again.

Hey guys. I've been reading around. I was just wandering if it's possible to make great gains from doing only 2 sets and a full body workout 3 times a week.
The reps will vary due to weight. 2 sets of around 12 reps, but I might not be able to get 12 reps, maybe 8 or 10, but once I can reach 12 reps on both sets I up the weight next workout. Say first set is 10 reps, rest around 60 seconds then maybe I'll get 8 reps on the 2nd set, but I keep at this weight until I can reach 12 reps on both sets. Can this work?
Focus on compound lifts, and some iso for little things.
Bench Press
Close grip bench
I'll also add in Pull-ups and Dips 3 times a week as well.
Or is this not enough stimulation for building muscle? Need the help from the pros on this one..

Questions you never thought to ask: Is inbreeding bad for democracy?
Game of Thrones fans already know this, but apparently it's not great for governance when close relatives produce offspring. But this actually isn't a story about tangled royal bloodlines. As Michael Woodley and Edward Bell argue in the Journal of Cross-Cultural Psychology, it's something a little more broad-based:
This article examines the hypothesis that although the level of democracy in a society is a complex phenomenon involving many antecedents, consanguinity (marriage and subsequent mating between second cousins or closer relatives) is an important though often overlooked predictor of it. Measures of the two variables correlate substantially in a sample of 70 nations (r = –0.632, p < 0.001), and consanguinity remains a significant predictor of democracy in multiple regression and path analyses involving several additional independent variables. The data suggest that where consanguineous kinship networks are numerically predominant and have been made to share a common statehood, democracy is unlikely to develop. Possible explanations for these findings include the idea that restricted gene flow arising from consanguineous marriage facilitates a rigid collectivism that is inimical to individualism and the recognition of individual rights, which are key elements of the democratic ethos. Furthermore, high levels of within-group genetic similarity may discourage cooperation between different large-scale kin groupings sharing the same nation, inhibiting democracy. Finally, genetic similarity stemming from consanguinity may encourage resource predation by members of socially elite kinship networks as an inclusive fitness enhancing behavior.
As a counterpoint, Iceland -- a country so isolated and sparsely populated that people need an Android app to keep them from hooking up with a close relative -- has had a representative parliament since the 10th century and a culture of individualism so strong they write Nobel Prize-winning novels about it. So there.

Steel Dynamics Inc. is on the fast track to expansion, launching more than $100 million in investments in two projects – just weeks apart.
The Fort Wayne-based steelmaker Tuesday announced plans to invest almost $27 million and create 40 new jobs at its Columbia City operation.
The announcement comes on the heels of news that Steel Dynamics has earmarked $75 million for a major expansion to its rolling capacity in Pittsboro, just west of Indianapolis.
CEO Mark Millett said the central Indiana project will broaden the company's product range and diversify the mix it produces at its Columbia City mill, which will create the feedstock – or raw material – for Pittsboro's expanded engineered bar products operation.
The Whitley County plant now primarily makes heavy structural beams.
According to Tuesday's statement, the company will install what officials described as a state-of-the-art heat-treating system in Columbia City.
The system will allow Steel Dynamics to produce up to 350,000 tons of standard strength and head-hardened plain, carbon steel rails for the railroad industry.
Site preparation will begin immediately.
Company officials expect to order mostly U.S.-made equipment – including some made locally – before the end of 2013. Full production is expected in early 2016.
Steel Dynamics' new process will allow it to manufacture 320-foot-long rails, as compared to the 80-foot rails made by the company's domestic competitors.
Longer rails require fewer welds per mile, which reduces costs and the chances of weld-related problems.
Our rail customers have encouraged us to expand our product offerings to not only include head-hardened rail, but in these longer rail strings, thereby enabling our customers to reduce their cost of rail maintenance and replacement, Steel Dynamics' CEO said in a written statement.
On Oct. 17, Steel Dynamics reported third-quarter earnings of $12.8 million, or 6 cents per diluted share, on net sales of $1.7 billion.
The steelmaker employs more than 6,500 in facilities including five steel mills, six steel-processing plants and more than 70 metals-recycling locations.
The company's shares closed Tuesday at $12.53, down 38 cents in trading on the Nasdaq stock market.

Here's what BDSM author, educator and activist Jay Wiseman has to say about choking in his book SM 101: A Realistic Introduction: "I know of no way whatsoever that suffocation or strangulation can be done that does not intrinsically put the recipient at risk of cardiac arrest … I know of no reliable way to determine when such a cardiac arrest becomes imminent. If the recipient does arrest, the probability of resuscitating them, even with optimal CPR, is small."
Even if choking weren't dangerous – posts about people accidentally killing themselves during solo choking scenes appear on fetish blogs with depressing regularity – being this woman's boyfriend/assailant has to be tedious. Even if choking were safe, THROTTLE, you need to ask yourself if you wanna spend the rest of your life with someone who's as inconsiderate, selfish and sexually limited as your girlfriend seems to be.
I am a 29-year-old lesbian. My best friend has an incredibly hot sister to whom I am very attracted. Let's call her Gladys. Gladys is about 10 years older than me and happily married to a man. We talk about life on Facebook and text each other frequently. Recently, things have gotten a bit more flirtatious. I am dying to say to her, "I am super-attracted to you, and I don't want to assume anything about your agreements with your hubby. If you ever want to explore your sexuality with a girl, I would love to be that girl." It seems like a delicate situation. I love my best friend's entire family. I love their mom. I have spent holidays at their house and vacationed with them. I don't want to embarrass myself. But I know she couldn't ask me that same thing. It just wouldn't be right from her side, since I am her little sister's best friend. Is there a way to roll this out?
Lesbian Under Straight Tease
Let's do a quick risk/reward analysis, LUST. By hitting on this woman, you're risking your relationship with your best friend, your best friend's sister, your best friend's mom and all future family holiday/vacation invites for the potential reward of getting into the pants of your best friend's hot married older sister once or twice. Seems like a lot to risk if you ask me, LUST, and you did. That said, there are a lot of married bi women out there. But if Gladys has an open relationship with her husband – or if they're actively searching for a unicorn – it would be better if they made the first move. So keep flirting and live in hope.
A girl I worked with introduced me to your podcast a couple of months ago. You must get this e-mail (or
variations on it) all the time, but I wanted to say thank you for the Savage Lovecast. It has made me feel a lot more comfortable about some of the things I like to do, consensually, with my loving GGG boy. My girlfriends sometimes turn their noses up at some of the sexual stuff I've tried or mentioned being interested in trying. The calls and guest experts on your podcast make me feel so much more normal, and my boyfriend loves that I've recently become a lot more open about the things I want to do. I don't have a question, I just wanted to let you know that I appreciate what you and the tech-savvy at-risk youth do every week.

The Kenguru electric car is unlike any other EV, if for no other reason than it doesn't have a seat. That's because the Kenguru is designed to be driven by people in wheelchairs, and they bring their seats with them. With the Kenguru, you roll up, open the one door (the back hatch), then roll on down the road.
We learned about the struggles that Stacy Zoern, CEO of Community Cars, was having getting the Kenguru produced last month in this video. The good news is that the low-speed Kenguru (28 mile per hour top speed) is about to make its way into production. "Distribution in a number of European countries is imminent," Gizmodo reports. The car is hand-assembled in Pflugerville, TX by Community Cars. The Kenguru was originally designed by Rehab, Ltd in Hungary.
The Kenguru has a range of between 70 and 110 km (43-68 miles) and costs around $25,00 before governmental incentives. Because of the nature of this EV, qualified buyers can get both alternative powertrain and vocational rehabilitation incentives.

Ludum Dare 20
Ludum Dare 19

Progress Report
Once again, I shall partake in the upcoming Ludum Dare (And hopefully finish this time.. :))
Language: C++
Library: SFML
Warm-up: Radiation
I've spent what time I've had over the weekend working on a somewhat random game, while getting used to programming with SFML in C++ (Somewhat similar to C#, but slightly different). This is what I've gotten up to so far:
I'm liking the idea that I generated from this theme ( Collect Radiation, Power Buildings using Radiation, Protect Buildings from Radiation ), and will most likely finish this up during the week.
- Loading Resources
- Handling Input
- Scene Management
- Sounds (Fairly straight forward though)
- Displaying Text (Also straight forward)
table.insert ( competitions.ld22, self )
Totally looking forward to this one!
Might be changing things this time around, we'll see
Language: C++ or Lua (Maybe Both, Depends)
Libraries: SFML2 if C++, or LÖVE if Lua
Audio: SFXR
Good luck to everyone!
October Challenge – Checkpoint #1
October Challenge: Accepted.
I'm going to make a decent attempt at this, I have this idea I've been "tinkering" with for a while now, and would like to actually finish it (For once :D).
Most of my updates will be posted on my blog, but I'll post weekly snapshots over here as well.
As it currently stands, I'm currently playing around with the concept of an editor where players can (eventually) drag and drop components onto units.
The next step is to allow new components to be placed onto "mount points" that units have.
And finally, some (programmer) eye candy
(It's some concepts that I've got for a set that will focus primarily on allowing customisation by attaching attachments onto other parts, and so on (An attachment on an attachment, on an attachment?))
Progress Shot
Progress Report
The Setup (3.0)
LD21 – I'm In!
Other than a slight "distraction" for a few hours that weekend, I should be able to participate in this Ludum Dare!
I'll be using a slightly different setup this time around:
Language: C++
Libraries: SFML2 & Box2D
Audio: SFXR
Base Code: None (At the moment ;))
Now to make room for the timelapse
Good luck everyone!
Isolation – Post Mortem
Firstly: I've uploaded all of my notes that I wrote during the competition to here, and added a link to them on my submission page.
What Worked
No Framework
From what I have gathered from it, not having a massive framework to use helped me get what I wanted done more quickly, as I wasn't spending time trying to get the code to work with the framework. Also, not using a framework meant that I'd often just write something that was basic and worked (GUI Especially) or use existing code without writing a class for it, instead of going overboard.
Modular Code
This time around, I think I've gone for a more modular approach to the code. Which made me reuse the core much more than what I did in the last submission (The player and enemies use the same movement logic, except that the input for the player is controlled by actual keys). This made it somewhat easy to fix any issues that arose, as all I would have to do is change one file instead of multiple files.
What Didn't Work
No Framework
The only downside to not using a framework was that if I needed anything, I'd have to spend time implementing it. I think the solution here is to find a point at which the framework doesn't impede code development, while at the same time providing useful tools that can be reused through each project.
Too Big of Idea
While the core idea for this game was quite simple, I (once again) decided to go slightly overboard with the ideas that went on top of it, which resulted in majority of the features not getting implemented, or quickly tacked onto the game to make it playable.
Basically: Next time, keep it even more simpler
What Could Be Improved
Cross Platform Development
Once again, I chose to use C#, which effectively limits playing to people who have a Windows machine. A better alternative would be to use Java or Flash so that people from multiple platforms can play the game. This is something that I will look into before the next LD.
But once again, I had fun working on this game! Bring on LD #21!
Isolation – Full Timelapse
The full timelapse of me building Isolation can be found here:

I'll upload my notes later on today, and also write up a post mortem.

Beginning in the autumn of 2014, the Grand Palais will pay tribute to Niki de Saint Phalle (1930-2002) and her many talents. A painter, sculptor and filmmaker, she seems able to juggle between the arts with baffling ease. Through her works, she denounces racism and warns against AIDS, or she exalts the woman's body.
For three months, the Louvre takes visitors on a journey to a time of conquest and wealth. The unknown history of Morocco reveals its mysteries in this exhibition focused on its most flourishing period, from the 11th to the 16th centuries.
