NOTE: She is also listed under " would prescribe. She advocates new medications and tests. For example, she prescribed Lovasa (refined fish oil) and PreDX (diabetes indicators). Both are extremely expensive and PreDX is a specialty lab which is not covered by insurance. The test cost over $600 and is no better than the A1C blood test. Lovasa is expensive fish oil at over $100/month, even if it is refined. I would recommend that people think and double check with insurance before just taking her prescribe medications and tests.

He is an excellent cardiologist and a very fine gentleman. He is a board certified doctor and has a very proficient office. His medical assistant named I have a very high opinion about him. I have been very happy with all the work he has done for me and have a very high regard for him."

After all the tests were complete, I had a follow-up appointment to discuss the results (even though he had the appointment scheduler let me know that everything appeared fine). Dr /> Dr "
I like my cardiologist. I go to his satellite office in South problems. I see him yearly. He has a main office in "
What is really outstanding about this doctor is how fast he analyzes the situation. I never feel like he is pushing me. When I first saw him in 2001, he correctly analyzed the heart condition the heart condition that did not want it to continue because he didn't like what he saw. He asked me right on the spot on how soon I could get over to Union Memorial Hospital in Baltimore. He said that he would like me there within an hour. So, he was terrifically concerned. I had a quadruple bypass operation done there. He called me after the operation and asked me how the medicines were doing after I got home. I told him that they were making me nauseous and he told me to stop taking them. He is a very pleasant fellow, and he quickly gets to the point. I feel fully satisfied after a five-minute examination, and I feel like he has really done a terrific job. He schedules me for the next appointment after looking at the results of the test. There is nothing that disturbs me with the office. It is not large but it is a very welcoming office. He is right on the spot every time and never makes me wait. He is perfectly adequate for everything that I have needed."

received input from nearly 800 members of the public through a Web-based questionnaire, and small groups of committee members visited each of the nine NASA field centers and the Jet Propulsion Laboratory. Furthermore, the committee reviewed a large number of studies conducted by the NRC and other groups over the decades that made recommendations about the conduct of NASA's programs and the agency's future, as well as NASA's strategic plans back to 1986.
The committee was impressed with the quality of personnel and the level of commitment of the agency's civil service and contractor staffs and the superb quality of the work done by the agency in general, most notably recently demonstrated by the Curiosity landing on Mars. But the committee also heard about frustration with the agency's current path and the limitations imposed on it by the inability of the national leadership to agree on a long-term direction for the agency. Only with a national consensus on the agency's future strategic direction, along the lines described in this report, can NASA continue to deliver the wonder, the knowledge, the national security and economic benefits, and the technology typified by its earlier history.

Experimenting with color can leave you in the dark as to how to pair up products that go beyond your usual cosmetic spectrum. Richly pigmented shades of blue, green and purple can really pop the natural nuances of the eye, but matching up shadows to bright liners can be tricky (particularly if you are seeking something office-friendly!). To make a vibrant eyeliner more every day wearable, tone down the loud look with a soft shadow palette.

Lee Child
Lee Child was born in Coventry and spent his childhood in Birmingham. Academically bright, he was awarded a scholarship and went to the same school that JRR Tolkien attended, before heading to university. Lee studied law but never become a lawyer. Instead, he worked in theatre and then in television on programmes including Brideshead Revisited, Prime Suspect and Cracker. After many years working as a presentation director at Granada Television, he was made redundant in 1995 after a corporate restructure. This was a blessing in disguise, as it was at this point of his life, aged 40, that he began writing
Lee had always been an avid reader and 18 years in TV had taught him how to tell a story, so this sudden change in career didn't faze him. He created the character Jack Reacher and wrote the first book in the series which he called Killing Floor. His debut novel was an instant hit with readers and his fan-base has grown ever since. As well as numerous novels, Lee has written a number of short stories and has won various awards. In 1998, Lee Child moved to the US where he still lives with his wife, Jane. They also have a grown-up daughter, Ruth.

Never Go Back
Former military cop Jack Reacher is back and has made the epic journey from South Dakota to Virginia. He is heading for the HQ of his old unit, the 110th Military Police, to meet the new commanding officer, Major Susan Turner. When he arrives, however, Susan is not at her desk. The unit is the closest thing Jack has to a home, but things are not as they should be.
He is told Susan has gone to Afghanistan, but in fact she has been arrested and Jack is in trouble too – having been wrongly accused of murder and told he is back in the army again. Jack finds himself in jail, along with Susan, but they soon escape and are on the run. As well as being wanted by the police it soon becomes apparent that there are other people out to get them, too. As their journey progresses, so do the revelations.

in the areas of the collecting hospitals. Informed consent was obtained before admission to the hospital for labor. However, in the event that it was not possible for the mother to provide informed consent, verbal consent or preliminary informed consent was obtained immediately before or during labor and was reaffirmed after delivery. Of the 35,799 available donors, 20,710 consented to the collection of their cord blood. After the exclusion of units with low cell counts, microbial contamination, and positive serological test results for an infectious disease, and of the units that could not be collected after consent was obtained because of a lack of collection staff, the study was able to cryopreserve 8,731 cord blood units (Cairo et al., 2004).
In 2000, NHLBI convened an ad hoc committe when it realized that the study was not going to meet its goals for collection and transplantation on schedule. The study staff was having difficulty encouraging potential transplant recipients to use what was essentially an experimental product (i.e., cord blood transplantation), and it was competing with other banks outside the study that often had more suitably matched units for the transplant patients. Participation in the COBLT study was increased to include an additional 21 U.S. transplant centers, as well as access to cord blood units banked at the New York Blood Center, NMDP-approved banks, or U.S.

If your PC has an EFI BIOS and had Windows 7 installed in EFI mode then it should already have a GPT format HD and be ready to delete all partitions to reinstall Win8, or shrink Windows 7 to create a new partition to install Windows 7.
The fact you are getting an error saying what you have is an MBR formatted HD makes it sound like you either do not have an EFI BIOS or Windows 7 was installed in Legacy Mode or using the Compatibility Support Module.
What I would do is boot into BIOS setup to see what these settings are exactly.
In addition I would watch this video to understand better UEFI BIOS:
Once you do this study closer the BIOS settings and report back what you find.
Your choices are to install to UEFI (Unified Extensible Firmware Interface) - Install Windows 7 with - Windows 7 Forums or if you don't want to mess with EFI BIOS yet you can Bypass UEFI to Install WIn7.

I have been feeding my 3 yo DS Lunchables almost everyday because I am so tired and sick that I just don't want to make him lunch and would rather give him that junk. On that same note, I give my 17 month old DD Chef Boyardee cause it's easy. There has never been so much processed food in my house before.
They are also still in their pajamas..as am I.
My mother in law came and cleaned my house last weekend cause I haven't done anything but feed and change my kids.
I hate how lazy I have been. I'm really considering this being the last baby cause I don't think I can handle this feeling with 3 kids needing me. I just need this crap to go away soon as DS and I will be starting school in a few weeks.
So there are my confessions. Please add yours so I don't feel so bad...

I think I might have an addiction to Colour Tattoos, I seem to keep finding new ones to love and to buy and take home to be mine! I came across Pink Gold a couple of months ago and was not disappointed with my purchase, as per usual.
The shade itself is a metallic rosy pink with a duochrome flash of pale gold. It is the perfect eyeshadow base for working with Rose Gold shadows like the legendary Naked 3 palette, its all very on trend for the moment.
As with all the colour tattoos, I very rarely wear mine alone, I think without a shadow to complement over top they look a little too sheer, as well as being easier to crease. However with shadow over top it makes it more pigmented, last longer and has no creasing.
Overall, I would recommend and repurchase!
This is such a gorgeous colour - probably my favourite out of all the Color Tattoos.
The pink is a beautiful shimmery shade and I love that the glitter isn't taking over. The texture is lovely - not patchy at all and goes on smoothly. The staying power is excellent, just as with all the Color Tattoos, and I get no creasing.
3 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Lovely shimmer cream shadow, lovely pink, good staying power , I will be using this a lot.
I believe that this is the best colour that has come from the range... it's so beautiful... the pink actually shows more than the shimmer and that's what i love about it.. it does stay on my eyes and does not crease.. finally a pink cream shadow that actually shows pink... as far as the gold I cannot see it on my eyes.. it isn't a nars orgasm colour thats for sure... nevertheless I love it and finally found the last one in my local superdrugs.. swiped!!!

grass-fed and overcooked
After reading the Omnivore's Dilemma I've been making an effort to buy pastured beef. I usually buy at the farmer's market (Farmer to you Beef/Farmer to you Pork) in Santa Monica, and other times I buy at whole foods. While the taste is usually really wonderful, I find that it has a tendency to end up tough. I'm guessing that because the fat content is much lower, I'm not cooking it with the sensitivity it requires. Last night I made a beef stew. The beef was really solid. I guess I overcooked it, but my question is, do you need to baby everything cooked with grass-fed meat? Even things cooked with moist heat? I've been making some of the Zuni short rib braises, and have similar issues. While I'm always hoping the meat will fall off the bone, I've come to realize that it won't happen for me, even though the flavor is beautiful. Am I doing something wrong or is this just something I need to accept if I'm going to cook with pastured beef?
If you make stew and the meat comes out tough, it's usually not because you overcooked it. It's because you undercooked it. Stew meat is tougher and more fibrous (that's why it's cheaper than filet mignon!), and it needs long, slow cooking to break down the fibrous bits. I suggest cooking it in a Le Creuset or a dutch oven with lots of liquid (wine, beer, broth, water, or a combination) plus your aromatic veggies (carrots, onion, garlic, celery...) in a low oven for at least a couple of hours. Some cuts need even longer. Putting it in the oven always helps me resist my impatient urge to peek and prod.
Well, for grilling, you need to let the meat "relax" after you cook it to let the blood redistribute and make it more tender. And of course when you do this, you shouldn't jab it with a fork or worse, cut into it to see if it's "done."
It's also possible you like your meat more "well done" than a lean cut of meat will turn out well. What may be acceptable for a fatty cut will ruin the texture for a leaner cut.
For meat that is well done but tender with a leaner cut, whether it's from a cheaper section of beef or simply a leaner grass fed cow, the recipe is generally the same: initial pan searing to seal in the juices followed by long slow cooking at a lower temperature. That will work for generally everything.
However, the plain fact is that certain cuts work better for certain preparations, and are simply ruined if cooked to a "doneness" that does not suit the cut, no matter how much you insist that you like that level of doneness.
When we make chili with corn-fed beef it simmers for 2 hours. Grass-fed or pastured beef simmers for 4 hours. It is fall apart tender at that point. However, pastured beef is generally firmer-textured than corn-fed beef. I *like* the texture, because it feels like you're eating meat instead of tofu, but not everyone does.
We've been producing grass fed beef for about 15 years in the central mountains of Idaho (Alderspring Ranch). Unfortunately, U.S. producers are still growing grass fed beef that is variable in quality, but well-grown grass fed beef should be both fabulous in flavor AND tender. You might want to experiment with suppliers. Ask how old the animals are when finished (should be under 24 months--it has been our experience that older than 24 months of age, although often well marbled are very unpredictable with regard to tenderness), and how they are fed (quality feed is everything--we move our finishing steers to fresh grass as often as twice a day). A rule of thumb for us: a beef that is gaining weight well throughout its life is tender, provided they are younger than 24 months. Another question to ask is about dry-aging. A dry age (whole carcass) of 10 days is a bare minimum to ensure tenderness. If the beef you are purchasing was frozen, ask about the freezing process. Only very rapid freezing (we call it flash freezing) maintains the tenderness that was present when the cut was fresh.
Here are some basics on cooking grass fed beef:
1) Better cuts, and even fine-grained roasts like rump and eye of round, can be cooked with dry heat (roasting, pan searing, and grilling) to medium rare (my husband likes it rarer than I--I like it a bit more toward medium, but I sacrifice some tenderness). As a general rule of thumb, although it depends on the degree of "finish," or intermuscular fat, grass fed beef will reach medium-rare in about 2/3 the time of grain fed beef. Use a thermometer and pull the cut when the temp reaches 141'F and then let the meat rest for at least 10 minutes (it will actually continue cooking and rise in temperature a bit after you pull it from heat). The 10-minute rest also allows juices to redistribute, and minimizes losing moisture as steam.
2) Tougher cuts are "tough" because they contain collegen and other connective tissue that actually tighten and toughen at temperatures below 160'F. After spending some time (at least an hour, and usually a couple hours) above 200'F, however, this connective tissue breaks down and permeates the meat. This is why a chuck roast has more flavor and moisture than a rump when cooked as a potroast for a few to several hours (the longer the better at our house), but a medium-rare chuck roast is just plain yucky. Most of these tough cuts are cooked with moist heat (braising or pot-roasting) because they will dry out at the higher temperatures needed to deal with the connective tissue. Acidic marinades and physical breakdown (pounding with a mallet, or using a Jaccard-type tenderizer) are other ways cooks deal with tough meat.
re: Alderspring
Wow, what fabulous information Alderspring. I have recently been transitioning over to grass-fed/pastured beef myself and am so thankful for the tips. Thanks for the work you do!
re: ronla
Try buying a piece of chuck, uncut, (cut it yourself) and make the stew again. Check this video for making a delicious "boeuf" stew: http://fayedelicious.blip.tv/#659391
I talked to my farmer's market beef farmer yesterday, but forgot to ask about the animal's age. I did ask about the dry-aging process. He said 8 days and explained that after that, in day 9 and 10 he ends up loosing a lot of meat because it will darken and he has to cut it off. (Does this make sense?) I also asked about freezing. He said that as soon as it is packaged it is frozen "right away".
The dry-aging process is temperature and humidity dependent, and it takes a good processor to get it exactly right. Too dry and cold and the meat turns to jerky on the outside; too warm and wet and it molds. Either way, the carcass has to be heavily trimmed and much of the meat is lost. This is why we can send a beef to one processor and 30% of it comes back as meat, and with another processor only 20% of the live weight is meat. It depends on the quality of the "hang" as well as the quality of the the cutting.
There is more information about dry aging on our website.
Give your local supplier a try. If you like it, support him with regular purchases. He needs you to keep doing what he is doing. Also, if you like his beef, give him some compliments--he probably is working 14 hour days to bring his beef to you.
re: Alderspring
Great information, Alderspring!!!
What can you tell us about breeds of cattle for grass-feeding. You don't use Holstein for beef or Angus for dairy.
Are there some breeds that just don't do well as grass-fed beef?
re: MakingSense
As Alderspring says, it IS possible to get grass-fed beef without sacrificing 'quality' that you would get with grain-fed. Quality in this case refers mostly to the juiciness of the beef, but also to tenderness. We've chosen Angus as the breed to use in our grass-feeding operation. Half our business is raising top-end purebred breeding stock, and the other half is selling beef from the animals that do not quite make that level. Even so, they have superior genetics for producinc well-marbled beef, even on grass.
I would recommend looking for pasture-raised beef that is Angus based, one with sufficient feeding (grass or pasture with some grain supplement) to get the cattle to finish (usually 800-1200 pounds before 18 months old. Other breeds that tend to be naturally highly marbled are South Devon and to some extent Shorthorn or Hereford. Holstein and Jersey, believe it or not, also marble very well. Brahman and Brahman-cross breeds tend to be tougher and less well-marbled. Of course, there is variance in every breed and the best of the worst breed will be better than the worst of the best breed.
When you say "solid" what do you mean? Can you cut it very easily with a fork, but otherwise it holds it's shape more than you expect? If yes, that's likely to happen with beef low in marbled fat, if you use cuts with little connective tissue anyway, and you don't say what cut you used. If it was like a round roast cut up, what you got is pretty much what you can expect. Try shoulder or chuck, which will "break up" a bit more as the connective tissues (collagen mostly) render out. But still, on the whole, yeah, the lower overall fat content requires extra attention, like "modern" pork with it's low fat content....
I have tried braising short rib from grass-fed bison using recipe from The Grassfed Gourmet Cookbook: Healthy Cooking and Good Living with Pasture-Raised Foods by Shannon Hayes and it came out great. I first seared the ribs on the stovetop then put the dutch oven in the oven for more than 3 hours and the meat came out very tender, almost falling off the bone. Btw, i think this is a very good site on grass-fed meat
Since the thread is being revived I'd like to suggest looking at http://www.bisonbasics.com for grassfed recipes and cooking techniques. Although all the recipes were tested with grassfed bison, they will work equally well with grassfed beef.
re: AnneBird
A sister site to Bison Basics is http://www.eatingelk.com . Same chef, but some different recipes focused on Ontario pastured elk. I highly recommend a probe type thermometer where the temperature readout sits outside the oven. I found mine for less than $20 in a Loblaws superstore. Cooking by internal meat temperature rather than time will produce more reliable results.
My rule of thumb is thus - in terms of tenderness, consider any cut of grass-fed meat to be one step down on the toughness scale and cook accordingly. So if a cut is considered to be somewhat tough, treat it like it's tough. If it's supposed to be very tender, treat it like it's tender. And so on. And your summation (wet-cook longer, dry cook shorter) is right.
Worth adjusting to, for the sake of flavor and health benefits.
We only ate pastured beef where I grew up (in Jamaica). There was no such thing as beef you could cut with a fork. You learned also how to cut across the grain for dry-cooked cuts (and we never let it get more than medium rare). And braised cuts (pot roast was a regular on the menu) cooked for a long time, several hours. Short ribs we ate charcoal grilled, not braised.

A little about me...
Life has made me realize that everything happens for a reason and as such, I have worked very hard to get to this point in my life. Now, I am looking for the right person to share my life with; someone with solid morals and similar values.
I am a career minded professional who has a passion for learning and contributing to my profession. I take great pride in using my skills to help others learn and grow.
I was raised in a religious family. I have always had faith; however, the formality of religion took a back seat during my college and young adult years. I'm back on track now.
My friends describe me as honest, trustworthy, smart, loyal, dedicated and funny. I enjoy working outside in the yard, digging in the flower bed, and fixing things around the house. I am comfortable in jeans; however, I also, enjoy cleaning up at the end of the day, slipping on a little black dress and going out for dinner. I believe in "doing the right thing for the right reason" and "treating others the way that you would want them to treat you".
About the one I'm looking for...
I am looking for an honest gentleman who is both emotionally and financially stable, wants to be treated like a king and wants a lasting relationship with a lady by his side. The ideal person would have a good sense of humor, be adventurous, likes to travel and just have fun.
I'd just like to add...
Send me a message.

Leon Panetta is not the first of high level appointees to lower the boom on Obama.
When history judges Obama it will be as a fraud, and an occupant of the Oval office who did more harm to America and Americans than good.
Let that be cast in stone.
News Week
Though memoirs are nothing new to Washington, their contents can be particularly cutting when faulting a current president—and Obama's been hit with a series of not-so-happy former cabinet members' tell-all-ish books lately.
Former Secretary of Defense Robert Gates got the ball rolling by harshly questioning the president's leadership in Duty: Memoirs of a Secretary at War.
Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton followed with Hard Choices, where she distanced herself from Obama's foreign policy. And now, former Secretary of Defense and past CIA Director Leon Panetta has penned the latest critique.
In Worthy Fights, released on Tuesday, Panetta describes a president that failed to properly lead on numerous occasions and that "avoids the battle, complains, and misses opportunities." But beyond the Obama criticism, Panetta sheds light on decisions made within the administration, particularly regarding the Middle East.
Panetta served as Obama's CIA director from 2009 until 2011, and questioned Obama's leadership from the start—he, along with others, wondered why Obama was hiring someone with such little intelligence experience for the role.

Racial slur on construction sign along I-94 targets Trayvon Martin
Updated On: Apr 09 2012 11:36:31 AM EDT
Elaine Bonner says she can't believe.
"I feel violated by it," she said.
Bonner was driving westbound on Interstate 94 near Addison going into Dearborn at about 1 a.m. when she saw the sign.
An MDOT highway message board was lit up for all to see: "Trayvon A N*****."
Bonner called 911.
She wanted the hate message to come down and come down fast as Monday rush hour was approaching.
MDOT spokesperson Rob Morosi says its clear someone broke into the sign's operating system and had enough knowledge to be able to delete the traffic message and put up their own offensive message about the Florida teen shot who was killed by a neighborhood watch captain. The Trayvon Martin case has inflamed feelings of racial discrimination nationwide.
"The knew what they were doing," Morosi said.
He doesn't think it was anyone with the sign company or an MDOT subcontractor called "Poco."
He says a person with enough computer knowledge would be able to change the sign. There are instructions on changing highway signs on-line.
"I don't think we really understood how accessible these signs were," said the Rev. Wendell Anthony, Detroit NAACP president.
A metal box on the back on the sign had been broken into and its keyboard was torn out and stolen.
Michigan State Police said it was flooded by calls from drivers outraged by the sign.
MSP called MDOT overnight and an employee came out to the sign to take the message down.
State troopers drove area freeways all morning to check to make sure other message boards hadn't been tampered with.
MDOT and the MSP are now investigating and asking anyone who may have seen a person at the sign or a car parked on the side of I-94 near the sign to call them.
"Whoever it is needs to be found. They changed the message, now find the messenger," Anthony said.

Prednisone works for me on short term treatment. Prednisone works great on a short term treatment for flairs. I do not take it more than 10 days .
Methotrexate is the medication I take on a regular basis which keeps the Lupus under control as a rule but occasionally stress will put me in a flair and that is when I take 10 mg. daily for approximately 10 days or until the flair is over. Prednizone has side effects that my Doctor says I should avoid as much as possible.

After the Polar Vortex-saddled January and February months of 2014, something tells us a break in the weather is exactly what car shoppers have been waiting for. Perhaps it's all the lovely green we see in the chart below that has us in an upbeat mood, but there's no denying most automakers doing business in these United States saw big sales improvements this month, led by the seemingly unlikely duo of Maserati and Mitsubishi.
Wait... is this the same Mitsubishi that has been struggling mightily over the last several years, with some analysts questioning how long the Japanese automaker will continue to do business in the States? Yep, that one. Mitsubishi posted a strong 70-percent improvement in March compared to the same time a year ago. And, although it's a relatively small number of vehicles on the grand scheme of things, it's hard to overlook the success of Maserati, which saw its sales improve by an astounding 342 percent on the strength of new models.
Other big winners in March include Jeep, Lincoln and Jaguar, all of which have been going gangbusters for the year that has been 2014 (so far). The biggest loser was Mini, as it has been all year, with a guest appearance from Chrysler, which lost 55 percent of its 200 sedan sales. We'd expect Chrysler's sales figures to recover over the next few months as the redesigned 2015 200 hits dealership lots. The only major automotive company that didn't post an improved March was Honda, and even that loss was pretty minor at two percent. Overall, not a bad sales month for the industry.
Check out all of the month's sales figures below, and feel free to compare them with past months in our By the Numbers archive.

But, even clicking on news articles links, which are the easiest points here on GasBuddy, when you can't or didn't post gas prices before midnight will save your consecutive days! : ) WARNING!

understand. do most of my postings on fly-bys. after stopping in to a place for cheap gas and having to cough up cash, i decided to check out the stations i post at least once and then add comments about cash prices and walmart/bilo cards to my station list so the comment would be there everytime i post. i have missed things; noticed a buddy's comment on a station and when i checked it out found out the station added 3% when a card was used. i had assumed the posted price was good for credit as well as cash. oh well. we keep trying.

It was DNA evidence found under the victim's fingernails and on the stockings used to tie her up that led to the December arrest of a Cleveland man in the 2006 murder of Mary Hudson.
DNA evidence led investigators to Jerome Wade after he was arrested in an unrelated felony and his DNA was put into the state system. It was later matched to Mary Hudson's murder.

Eight of our closest family and friends put on our magnificently made shirts by custom ink and loaded up to head on to rock out in Tiger Stadium! We had a blast! Many people commented on how cool our shirts were. We can't thank the guys at Custom Ink enough for helping us make our trip more memorable!" - The Gang (May 28, 2013) Share this photo on: Twitter Facebook Pinterest Similar Photos: concert | festival | music | event other | event other known | family | friends | fun | neon | bayou country superfest | tiger stadium Feeling inspired?
