1 in 5 ED Patients Referred By Primary Care Doctors
New policy proposals and practices sought by the administration or enabled by the Affordable Care Act will also modify demand, Sama says. For example, a proposal to pay primary care physicians who treat Medicaid patients at the same rate they treat Medicare patients, is now under review.
Other trends that may help the situation include an increasing number of retail and urgent care clinics.
But those developments are offset by the number of emergency departments around the country that have closed or are closing. The fact that those retail clinics operate in large part 9 to 5 and not on weekends, and that people without insurance may find the costs beyond their reach, Sama says.
"Even with the enhanced resources, these numbers are not going to go down," Sama said. He anticipates a continued 2% to 3% increase in emergency department utilization each year, which was estimated at 135 million annual visits in 2009.
The CDC survey also found that nearly four in five ED patients said they went to the ED because they had nowhere else to go. And two in three said they perceived their problem was so serious as to require immediate medical attention, according to a federal survey that's the first of its kind.

John T. Skowronski, MD, FACEP (6/6/2012 at 6:23 PM)
Excellent comments. In my community, most PCP's are very uncomfortable with anything that might be emergent. I'm sure this is based on genuine concern, mixed with malpractice risk and the fact that PCP's don't see many urgent patients, so they feel ill-equipped. In addition, getting a CT or MRI for an acute headache, or other similar tests, can be a significant delay for PCP's. In addition, pre-certification costs them time and money and the perception is that the ED can get any test at any time without these hassles. Also, even simple tests such as CXR's have new regulations, so a number of PCP's in my community can't perform this basic test. I can't tell you have many cases of "bronchitis" have turned out to be CHF. Finally, the ultimate insult to ED medicine in this scenario is payment. Naturally, patients that can't pay for a lot of tests wind up being referred to the ED. But, even worse, denials for care in insured patients are rife, even when the PCP refers the patient for care. What "prudent layperson" would NOT go to the ED after being referred by their primary caregiver? Unfortunately, this is a constant fight with payors, based on retrospective reviews and final diagnoses.
Daniel Woodard, MD (6/2/2012 at 5:26 PM)
As a board certified emergency physician with over 30 years of experience in ER, urgent care and primary care, I would like to offer a comment. First, ER docs tend to be of mixed mind on this question. If I had a dime for every colleague that complained about "ER abuse" by patients who were not sick enough to be "genuine emergencies" I would have retired long ago. At the same time, of course, hospitals see ambulatory patients as a revenue source and don't want to suggest they should go elsewhere. Why not consider what is best for the patient? These patients were all discharged from the ER, so unless they had critical outpatient procedures we can assume that most could have been taken care of in a primary care setting and were certainly stable enough that, if needed, they could have been safely transferred to a hospital. The primary care physician does not have instant access to CT or even labs, but he has two diagnostic tools that are even more powerful. First, the physician knows the patient and is already familiar with his/her complete history, medications, reaction to pain, and all the other thousand details that make up a complete patient, and if the patient is new, there is time to do a careful history and physical, something that is virtually impossible in the ER. Equally important, the physician has already established rapport and trust. There is little need to do medically unnecessary (but highly profitable) tests because if the patient has a complication he/she can easily be seen again. For an ER doc the sheer efficiency of primary care has to be seen to be believed. And in my experience, most patients would rather be seen by a doctor they know, and avoid having to either go through their life story or get a $500-$1000 bill. So the survey seems focused on two reasons to go to the ER. One is real, the inability to get to see a primary care physician without a two month wait. There is a simple solution to this; train more primary care providers and ask them to keep a few spots open each day for walk-ins, like they did when I was a kid. The situation we have [INVALID]d, in which it is impossible to see a primary provider when you are acutely ill, is simply absurd. Given the chance to see a doctor they know today, for a fraction of the cost of the ER, Second, many patients have the perception that ED care is necessary when it is not. Obviously some cases are equivocal and need the ER, but to say that every single patient might be having a silent MI and needs troponin levels is the mark of someone who does not know how to do a proper history and physical. Finally, there is the perception that the ER actually provides better care. When the patient is unstable with a dramatic but obvious diagnosis and requires immediate respiratory support, thrombolysis, surgical consultation, etc. then the ER is essential. But this isn't most patients, even at a trauma center. Confronted with complex histories that take more than 30 seconds to understand the ER is woefully ineffective, as I've seen more than once when bringing family members there. If we want the best care for all our patients we have to get beyond petty turf battles and actually look at the evidence. And that means looking objectively and with an open mind, not with the object of proving our own importance.
Bret Ginther MD (6/2/2012 at 12:00 PM)
Interesting article and my experience as an ED physician resonates with the numbers referenced in the article. One aspect of this referral sequence that has not been appreciated anywhere I can see is WHO is doing the referral. Most patients will readily volunteer that they were sent by "my doctor." But more often than not their referrals are by whoever picked up the phone at the doctor's office and based on variable if questionable medical input or decision-making. Asking your patient who referred them often reveals the contact specifics. This is significant because often the person least knowledgeable to make medical decisions is directing patient care and inevitable incurring resource utilization that the actual doctor may have felt unnecessary. I would never discourage appropriate ED referrals but ideally the care should be discussed doctor to doctor so the acute concern and approach to evaluation can be coordinated between the parties most capable in coordinating the care plan.

Great performance by Roger. I've seen The Floyd together & solo 9 times including DSOTM,Animals,The Wall,Momentary,Pros&Cons with Clapton, Radio KAOS, and all the Gilmour tours. It was a great show but the 1980 show (Nassau Coliseum)was superior IMO with the complete band in their musical prime....but for those that didn't have the opportunity this was a great substitute although pricey. Rest in peace Richard your keyboards still give me chills.
I paid [$] to get front row/vip lounge ascces/backstage and limo serivce for Myself and my son. It was and will always be the best money I have ever spent. It was the once in a lifetime SUPERBOWL OF ROCK that my son will ever see. He also got to meet and greet with the band YES ROGER TOO! This could not have been any better. Everyone came up to my son and told him how lucky he was that his dad was cool enough to take him to this so let alone get him the seats and access i did. THANK YOU ROGER WATERS FOR MAKEING A LIFETIME MEMORY FOR US...THE KOMARNITZKY's
Bar none - the most amazing concert experience I have ever seen. It will be forever etched in my memory! Thank you Roger Waters! xoxoxo
Well I'll put it this way!
The first I heard about this concert I started looking for tickets I'm a die hard "Pink" fan and without Roger it wouldn't have become what "The Wall" is today.
Not only did I buy tickets in Kansas City but I bought tickets for the St. Louis concert as well,
this was the 2011 tour. They aren't coming to Mo. this tour (at least that I know of)so what did I do, I bought tickets for the Tulsa concert. Not just regular seats but the best I could buy... This is the best concert ever produced (period)

Roger Waters, best known as the former bassist for Pink Floyd, is a force unto his own. A diverse and talented artist, Waters has spent his career slapping a bass, penning lyrics, belting out tunes and producing albums. From his Floyd past to his current solo status, Roger Waters tickets continue to be a hot commodity.
Born George Roger Waters in Great Bookham, Surrey, England, the future musical legend attended school in Cambridge with eventual band mate Syd Barrett. In late 1964 the first incarnation of Pink Floyd, then called the Tea Set, recorded its first demo. From 1965 to 84, the English rocker served as the bassist for one of the most widely recognized psychedelic era bands, Pink Floyd. Here Waters made his mark on the scene as a bass player, co-vocalist, songwriter and lyricist as well as occasional rhythm guitarist. Ranging from brutally clangy to verging on free-form jazz, Waters perfected his unique style and sound recognized in timeless capsules like "The Wall," "The Dark Side of the Moon" and "Animals."
In his solo career Waters produced three concept albums, one movie soundtrack and several singles. Working with legendary artist such as Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck and David Sanborn, Waters continued his climb into legendary status. The 1989 fall of the Berlin Wall provided Waters with the opportunity to collaborate with more well known names in the music industry, thus staging one of the largest rock concerts of all time.
However successful Waters' solo career has been it appears that he just couldn't resist the pull of the classic tunes. In 2006 he launched a tour starting in Europe and ending in North America that drew from the Pink Floyd vaults. Lasting for almost three years, "The Dark Side of the Moon Live Tour" led off with a mix of Pink Floyd classics and Waters' solo work, ending in the rehashing of "The Dark Side of the Moon" in its entirety. During this period Roger Waters tickets flew off the shelves. Waters' shows always receive sweeping reviews and fans keep getting their minds blown over and over.
Similarly, Waters announced a new tour in 2010, once again going back to his Pink Floyd roots. "The Wall", arguably Pink Floyd's most famous album, will be performed from start to finish. No such task could be completed without some serious back up. The band lineup reflects a plethora of talent consisting of Roger Waters on Bass/Vox, Snowy White of Thin Lizzy and Dave Kilminster on guitar and California group Venice on backing vocals. The success Roger Water's "The Wall" will no doubt reflect that of "The Dark Side of the Moon Live Tour." Make sure to get your Roger Waters tickets today and be a part of live performance history.

Madagascar, 01/10/2010 - In 2005, AKF launched the Programme de soutien de la region Sofia pour le développement rural intégré (PSSDRI) with the aim of sustainably boosting rice production in the Sofia region of Madagascar. The majority of the work of the PSSDRI is done directly with groups of rice farmers in four districts of Sofia (Mandritsara, Befandriana Nord, Port-Bergé, and Bealanana). Since the programme's inception, the yields of nearly 10,000 rice farmers (as of 2010) have more than tripled through the adoption of a number of low input-techniques proposed by the programme. Yield measurements show that average yield associated with integrated rice management practices is approximately 5 tons/hectare, whereas the yield associated with traditional farming practices in the area was 1.5 tons/hectare. A series of videos, produced in a dialect native to the programme area, was used as a training tool for scaling up from its initial pilot project to a larger number of farmers.

text: 5 Comedy At It's Very Best!tennishead39 | 07/11/2008 | See all tennishead39's reviews (33)Top 100 Reviewer Top 10 Games Reviewer I read about this film in the newspaper and it said that if you liked Johnny English then you would love Get Smart. So I did see Johnny English and I liked it so I went to see this. Did the newspaper lie to me??Well as you can see from the 5 stars that I have awarded it, Get Smart was no let down!! In fact it is one of the best films that I have seen all year. The film begins with Max (played by the very capable Steve Carell) as an employee of the secret agency, Control. Max desperately wants to be an agent and over his years working at control he has learned from the best and takes his test, he gets a perfect score but he has very little field experience so he isn't promoted, his fitness has also been an issue in the past but he got in shape to be an agent.Max gets promoted when the identity of all of their agents is discovered by their enemy KAOS and the boss of control has no choice but to promote Max. He becomes partners with agent 99 (played by the lovely Anne Hathaway) who thinks that he is incapable of being an agent and takes an instant disliking to him.So here they are on an aeroplane en-route to their destination. They really are complete opposites as agent 99 has loads of field experience but Max critics her for being a total field agent and vies versa, she critics him for being a total book worm and that it only takes an instant to be killed and she believes that Max doesn't realise that. There are some reel humorous moments in the film like when they break into a mansion to get to a party where one of the K.A.O.S members is. It really shows that Max is a reel James Bond wannabe.The main plot of this film is that K.A.O.S has made nuclear weapons and give them to terrorists and are threatening to give them the launch codes unless Control meet their demands. Overall I really love this film and would definitely watch it again. Steve Carell and Anne Hathaway are simply superb and the story line is also really good, I won't spoil the rest, so as you can fully enjoy it like I did, Enjoy, and super film with some excellent humour!!!Pros:+ Some sensational actors.+ Decent story line.+ Good ending.+ It all just seems to work.Cons:- What do they do from here??Overall: 9/10.Actors: 10/10.Humour: 10/10.Ending: 9/10.

"Ever get the feeling you've been cheated?" asked a weary Johnny Rotten at the very end of the last show of the Sex Pistols' first (and last) US tour. The show took place at the one-time hippie haven of the Winterland in San Francisco on Jan. 14, 1978 and would be the band's final performance. Well, at least until their 1996 reunion, anyway.
The much-hyped, sold-out show was simulcast over KSAN FM radio. "I don't believe this is really happening folks," said one of the announcers as the band took the stage. It was in a haze of hype, and not much glory, that the Pistols made their way to America. Most of the media attention focused on the tabloid fodder associated with that evil "punk rock" music that was set to destroy children everywhere.
The Pistols' manager, the legendary Malcolm McLaren, thought the best plan of attack was to avoid major markets like New York City and Los Angeles, and instead, hit the deep South. The tour made stops in Atlanta, Memphis, San Antonio, Baton Rouge, Dallas, and Tulsa. San Fransisco was the only date on the tour that could have provided an audience tuned into the band. But, this was McLaren's plan, figuring he would get more media mileage out of putting the band in this somewhat surreal setting. This worked to a much lesser degree than he would have hoped, in the pre-internet world of 35 years ago.
The evening kicked off with sets by two of San Francisco's finest of the era — the Avengers and the Nuns — before the Sex Pistols took the stage. "Welcome to London!" spat Johnny Rotten as the band launched into a suitably visceral 'God Save The Queen.'
Throughout the entire show, Rotten was in fine form, looking equally amused and angry while delivering the goods. "If you can put up with that, you can put up with anything," he even said in bit of self-defacing humor. Steve Jones and Paul Cook held their own, but the disaster that was Sid Vicious floundered rampantly on the bass (after all, it was his second instrument of choice, just behind the syringe). Though not a total disaster, the band failed to live up to the hype that preceded them. They were figuratively at death's door when the tour started, and San Francisco was the final nail in the coffin.
During the sole encore of the evening, a very loose version of the Stooges classic 'No Fun,' Rotten laid his feelings out, revamping the lyrics a bit. "This is no fun. No fun. This is no fun at all. No fun," he sang, sounding like he meant every word. "I felt cheated, and I wasn't going on with it any longer; it was a ridiculous farce," he wrote in his autobiography 'Rotten: No Irish, No Blacks, No Dog', "The whole thing was a joke at that point."
Rotten would leave the band before returning to the UK, and form the groundbreaking Public Image Limited in an attempt to distance himself from the entire punk scene.

I am selling a Chocoma tabletop E220 enrobing line. It is larger than I need in my small truffle shop in Kalamazoo Michigan, and turns out not to handle round items very well (they don't transfer well from the intake belt to the enrobing belt).
Here is the company's website (http://www.chocoma.dk/our-products/enrobers/e220.html) and the description of the machine from the manufacturer:
Chocoma E220 – the new multi functional enrober and moulding machine
• Top coating, bottom coating or complete enrobing
• Seed (Callet / Block) Tempering within the machine
• Double chocolate curtains and variable speed control
• Variable air pressure and direction control on blower
• Construction in stainless steel and food approved materials
• Supplied with a 1 meter paper take-off table as standard
The E220 enables the chocolatier to enrobe or bottom coat pralines, bars, biscuits, cakes and pastries. In addition the E220 provides solid or shell moulding of standard praline moulds, hollow figures, etc. Futhermore, the callet (button) tempering is easily achieved in the generous 20 litre chocolate vessel. In short: E220 is the "3 in1" chocolate solution center for the creative, quality focused chocolatier requiring versatile small to moderate production to a professional standard.
Production flow
Pralines, bars etc. are placed on the separate infeed table. From this point the wire mesh belt carries the products through two chocolate curtains and/or bottom coating reservoir. Once the products are double coated they pass under the blower outlet to insure that the appropriate amount of chocolate is left on the product. Any "chocolate-skirt" is minimised by means of the vibrating mechanism. Finally, the pralines or bars pass over a detailer shaft for perfect finishing before they continue onto the paper take-off table.
Flexibility and individual adjustments
All functions are easily controlled by the operator. The temperature of the chocolate is continually controlled by a digital thermostat. The speed of the wire mesh belt is adjustable between 0,7 – 1,7 m/min. The size and thickness of the chocolate curtains and the height of the bottom coating are individually set by the operator. By controlling the air pressure from the blower together with the direction of the air, the appropriate amount of chocolate is blown off so the desired amount of chocolate remains on the enrobed product. The "tapping strength" of the adjustable vibrating mechanism ensures that both small and light pralines and large and heavy cakes and pastries will have minimised "skirting". Finally, the height of the detailer shaft ensures a uniform base on the enrobed products once they are carried to the paper take-off table.
User friendly and hygienic
E220 is made of stainless steel and designed for easy cleaning. The entire enrobing section can be taken off the machine for cleaning.
Electrical specifications
Voltage: 110-240 VAC, 50/60 Hz
Power: 1,4 kW
Take-off table: Length at 1, 2 or 3 m.
Infeed grill and 2 chocolate curtains.
Enrobing of all sizes of products.
Bottom coating of all sizes of products.
Top and tail coating.
Moulding module and other options are available.
Enrober dimensions
Length: 910 mm
Width: 630 mm
Height: 700 mm
I purchased this enrober for € 10,000.00/about $13, 598 at today's rates (plus shipping and customs fees from Denmark).
I'm asking $12,500 (plus shipping), and would entertain any reasonable offer.

Hi Dale
This enrober is still available?
Yes, it's still available. I need to make space for a convection oven, so have dropped the price to $11,000 plus shipping.
Hi Dale,
Sorry for my late answer but we had to prioritize some others investments before this.
Your enrober is still available?
Can we talk about the price and i can send you and offer to your email address?
Yes, it is currently still available. There is another party that plans to come in early November to try running their special blend of sugar-free chocolate, and to see how it performs with this material. I am still open to other offers. My asking price remains the same. Feel free to send an e-mail to my personal address.
All the best,
Dale Anderson
The machine is sold.

Can we bring bikes to ride around the campground on?
Yes, but they can't go into the venue. People park them just outside the entrance.
awesome thank you for your quick response!
Yeah. You wouldn't want to sit on a bike pole.
If you already had a locker, i guess it works out. Otherwise that's another inconvenience. Last year I knew I'd end up in Lot 8, which isn't that far from the lockers, so don't really need one...The years I knew I'd be in Lot 10, I made sure I had a locker. I wish I brought a bike those years too...
That wagon was great for the "equipment hauling" we had to do before Car Camping was implemented. Even better was having new camping mates to help load up the gear back to the parking lot Hard to believe that was 4 yrs ago!

text: 1 Good Film but VERY Bad Star Trektaunitshq | 02/09/2009 | See all taunitshq's reviews (6)As a Film in and of its self this is a good even great film. The acting is good to great with ZQ being as good as I hoped he would be as spock. Karl Urban great as Bones. I was'nt to sure if chris pine would be any good as Kirk as he had some HUGE boots to fill but he does very well. The rest of the cast are good as well. The SFX are very good too.SO why am I only giveing this 1 star. Because as a Star Trek Film its THE WORST one ever. As anyone who is any kind of fan of star trek will tell you IF you change the past as they have done you change the future. There are no such things are alt time lines in ST. So in this film they have wiped out the past 40 odd years of trek as we know it. IE Everything thats ever happened in The original series, TNG, DS9, Voyager and all the 10 films has not and now never will happen. Thats not a reboot thats a total reformat.I wonder which franchise they will reformat next now they have runined both James Bond and Star Trek.

With all the news of Rihanna doing drugs and living like a party girl, it's easy to forget that the pop star is a hard worker, too. Which may be why a new video was released this week, showing RiRi rehearsing for her new music video and not wearing any makeup! Check it out after the cut.
It's nice to see Rihanna in good spirits and having fun in the dance studio. While her wild child image may appeal to some fans (and sell records), it's always good to be reminded that even the most rambunctious of stars can be mild and down-to-earth. Sometimes. [via Buzzfeed]

Give Amazon Some Respect
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Generally, these articles go to die in the comments section. As such, I was encouraged by the response I received to Monday's tamely titled article Amazon (AMZN) vs. Netflix (NFLX): Jeff Bezos Could Squash Reed Hastings Like a Bug.
The first solid comment came from "Felix Urman." Here's the gist of it, lightly edited:
You do realize that Amazon's cash only increased because
itissued $3 Billion in debt, right? ... with Reed Hastings having MSFT connections, I wouldn't bet against MSFT or another deep pocketed suitor to buy out/take a stake in Netflix if only to force Amazon to burn more cash as it now competes against MSFT in the cloud and tablets, google in the cloud, devices and shopping, and Apple in everything.
And, here's the second one from somebody who goes by northernlimits:
Put another way Amazon needs Netflix. As content purchasers, price becomes everything. As we all know pricing power vs pricing cost is a balancing act that needs many in the competitive pool to maintain the pricing balance that provides liquidity, profits and value for the consumer. Sometimes it is in your own best interest to have a weaker competitor / partner to maintain that balanced eco-system.
That's why I get up at four in the morning -- to help initiate these conversations.
These comments come at the issue from different angles, yet both address notions of competition and spending. I agree with everything in comment number two, but respect both takes equally. Each adds to the conversation; it's not the same old, tired lament of AMZN's P/E. First, I do realize that Amazon took out $3 billion in debt. Mea culpa. I probably should have mentioned it in my article; however, in all seriousness, I don't consider it relevant to the story. Prior to the offering Amazon had no meaningful long-term debt to speak of. In fact, relative to its cash pile and revenue, it still doesn't. This is a classic case of a company poised to grow exponentially, taking advantage of a low-interest rate environment. Given that Amazon had about $5 billion in cash on the books going into the transaction, I'm not sure how you could construe it any other way.
As I explained in the Bezos bug-squashing article and Netflix Probably Should Be Bankrupt, Stock Closer to Zero, even though Reed Hastings tells you it's the same situation at Netflix, it's not. Just look at Netflix's financials. They're an absolute mess, in isolation and relative to Amazon. Netflix is mired in a vicious cycle of spending with no end sight. It can't just turn off the tap on buying third-party content and creating original programming. Amazon, however, can throttle back as this current hyper-phase of growth moderates. But, just remember, it's not going to happen overnight. Also, remember, I know the score. Love Netflix the service. In fact, I would, without second thought, pay $20 a month for it. Sort of, kind of love the stock . . . enough to have predicted its rise from the dead and subsequent move past $100. But I just cannot buy the business model, which is why, at day's end, it's impossible for me to buy what Reed Hastings is selling on this debt deal as well as his company's future.

Sebastian Vettel may still be in a league of his own, but Kimi Raikkonen believes Lotus have closed the gap to the front-runners.
After finding himself 0.666 off the pace of Vettel's Red Bull in Free Practice 1 at Albert Park on Friday, the Finn reduced that gap to 0.453 to finish fourth fastest in FP2.
Although the defending Champion will be the man to catch come qualifying and race day in Melbourne on Sunday, Raikkonen feels his Enstone squad are there or thereabouts.
"I think even compared to the last races [of 2012], it feels like we are a bit closer," he is quoted as saying by Autosport.
"We saw Vettel being fast today but all the rest, everybody else, it looks tight and they are close to each other.
"But it is only the first Friday. So let's see how it goes in the first two races and we will go from there."
Red Bull's pace though made everyone sit up and take note and they are likely to go even quicker come Sunday as Vettel's best time came on a set of soft tyres that was well worn.
Raikkonen, however, is not too downbeat as he feels Lotus can still improve.
"For sure we can improve ourselves also quite a bit," he said. "They [Red Bull] were fast on the harder tyres, so you expect that they would have been a bit faster on the super soft. But you never know.
"Some other teams did not improve so much with the super soft. But it is what it is and the race is a different story. It is just the first Friday."

The incredible variety of religious rituals and meaningful traditions that are kept alive in all its regions and celebrated through periodical festivals is one of the reasons why numerous tourists visit Nepal every year.
The tradition that awakes the interest and the curiosity of all tourists is the election of a Kumari, the embodiment of the goddess Taleju in a young, virgin girl. Although the event is an official one, the access of the public is strictly forbidden, which makes people be even more curious about the selection criteria and the ceremonies that follow once a new Kumari has been chosen.
Criteria of Selection
- Family appurtenance - All the candidates have to belong to one of the Newari clans of Bajracharya or Shakya, known for being devoted Hindus and also skilled gold- or silversmiths.
- General state of health – A future Kumari must not suffer from any serious health condition, especially not from one that makes her lose blood. According to the Hinduist belief this tradition is based on, the blood of a young, virgin girl represents the essence of Taleju herself, and loosing blood means that the goddess leaves her body. The young girls entering the selection process must also have all their 20 milk teeth intact.
- Physical characteristics – Those who aspire to the Kumari position have to be the embodiment of all the "thirty-two perfections". A poetic description presents the ideal candidate as having the "eyelashes of a cow", "the chest of a lion", "the body like a banyan tree", "a neck like a conch shell", "the thighs of a deer" and the "soft, clear voice of a duck".
- Personality - A future Kumari has to be fearless and serene at the same time, these being two of the most important qualities attributed to the goddess Taleju and to her child version, Durga. To demonstrate the existence of these traits of character, a candidate undergoes a series of tests that she has to pass successfully.
The Life of a Kumari
Once elected, the candidate moves into a residence specially designed to host the living embodiment of Taleju, where she stays until she is replaced, moment that, usually, coincides with the young girl's first menstruation. Throughout all this time, her relatives visit her only a few times, the meetings being extremely formal.
Besides attending the ceremonies and rituals dedicated to the goddess, the Kumari also receives visitors to her residence. These bring presents and food to her, waiting to see if she shows any emotions.
According to a belief, showing signs of sadness or even of joy in the presence of a visitor is considered a bad omen for this person. On the other hand, a serene, impassible attitude is seen as a sign of good luck.

When she's not planning an epic, company-wide ALS Ice Bucket Challenge or talking about her new puppy Milton, you'll find Lauren's Hope Graphic Designer, Quinn Mills, meticulously planning and executing the product photos, marketing emails, and graphic design projects our customers see every day, worldwide.

When I made my big move from Lincoln, NE to Kansas City, on my list of things to get set up were cable, Internet, electricity, and a new Endocrinologist and Gastroenterologist. When you live with a chronic health condition, leaving the comfort of your specialist can be a bit overwhelming, and frankly, it can be pretty stressful.
If you've been online in the last few weeks, odds are you have heard about the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge. This terrific awareness campaign has gone viral online, inspiring people from all over to help raise awareness and funds for the ALS Association. The gist is that if someone challenges you, you have 24 hours to either make an ice bucket video yourself or donate $100 to the ALS Association. From July 29 to August 20, 2014, the ALS Association received $31.5 million dollars in donations, compared with $1.9 million over the same time last year! What a difference social media makes!
Those of you who follow the Lauren's Hope blog regularly (and who doesn't?) may recall that I shared a personal story earlier this summer when my 9-year-old son, Will, was diagnosed with Severe Feeding Aversion (that's him, at left, in the hospital) and underwent surgery to place a Microvasive G-Tube. This feeding tube works by way of a port on his abdomen, allowing us to give him all the nutrition he needs while he undergoes long-term feeding aversion therapy, a form of occupational therapy that addresses the behavioral, sensory (texture, smell, temperature, etc.), social, cognitive, and OCD (obsessive-compulsive disorder) issues surrounding feeding.
As the fall semester approaches, it's easy to look straight forward to purchasing textbooks, moving into and furnishing your new dorm or apartment, and the fun times you will have with new friends. But for those of us with health issues that impact our daily lives, there are a few extra things that should be put on our new semester checklists before we get to all that other fun stuff.
When people think of reasons a person would wear medical ID jewelry, they typically list things like diabetes, food allergies, drug allergies, epilepsy, heart conditions, and Alzheimer's. And while all of these conditions are important reasons to wear medical alert jewelry, there is one group of conditions that is largely overlooked: mental health disorders.
Blood thinners are a very commonly prescribed medication in the US. If you have a type of heart or blood vessel disease or if you have inadequate blood flow to the brain, your doctor has probably prescribed some variety of blood thinner to help treat your symptoms. Blood thinners work to reduce the risk of heart attack and stroke by reducing the formation of blood clots in your arteries and veins.
There's a pain rating scale called the McGill Pain Index. This scale starts at zero (no pain) and goes up to 50. A bone fracture is around a 15. Natural childbirth without preparation ranks just below amputation of a finger or toe, and both rank below a 40. Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS), also called Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy (RSD), however, tops the list at a 42. And unlike childbirth or a broken bone, things with set beginnings and ends, CRPS never goes away.

Seriously TONY?
What makes you a true New Yorker?
We asked notable city dwellers to share their recommendations and advice.
Wed Mar 28 2012
CommentsAdd +
Ben Smith, editor-in-chief of BuzzFeed (buzzfeed.com)
"I grew up here, and aside from a few years reporting from foreign lands—Indianapolis, Latvia—after college, I haven't really left. But I've always felt that being from here made me a bit of an anomaly, less of a New Yorker than the people from elsewhere who really drive the city. I didn't really feel like I was fully part of the city until I started raising my kids in Ditmas Park, Brooklyn, which is a small town where everyone knows your name."
Users say
Seriously TONY?
Seriously TONY?
Right. Of course, you're not going to publish that comment about fact checking the racial demographics of NYC. Great to be white and rich in NYC.
So, I suppose TONY now censors comments that do not agree with this offensive article. You'll just leave the one from the one profiled here to make this article palatable. That's ok, I have the screenshot of the unpublished comment. You're not the only one who has access to the internet and a blog.Welcome to Syria.
Hey guys, I'd like to jump in here to quickly thank the TIME OUT crew - who did an amazing job working with those who were interviewed. Lauren and their copy editing staff were professional throughout the wrangling process. Thank you to them for reaching out in the first place, for coordinating several busy schedules, and especially for taking the time to fact check. @Midwester Transplant Poster - Not that it matters (much) but I was born in Harlem and lived there until age 6, across from The Cotton Club. My father kept his NYC apartment until I was 14. He drove an NYC taxi cab - 1A57 - for over 25 years. I spent every Summer in the city until the age of 21, when I moved back permanently the day after college ended. AND, the best part of Minnesota is that locals are welcoming. I promise if you visited a friend there for a week and wanted to call yourself a Minnesotan, they'd let you.
I think this is an interesting list. However, as a native New Yorker, I am offended that there is not even one person of African descent on this list. This is not the first time I have experienced feeling excluded from Time Out. The selections you make are repeatedly geared towards white, middle and upper middle class New Yorkers(many of which are not "native New Yorkers". I suggest that Time Out reconsiders the demographic of New York City. It's a majority minority city. However, when people come to your website, they would think it is a predominately white city. It's not and it would be greatly appreciated if you represented and also catered to the tastes of NY's diverse population.
@ Peter even if Lauren gets fired, she'll just land another "journalistic writing " gig at either The Awl, Village Voice, or GothamShit -- blogs/publications about NYC written by non-new yorkers. Good to be white and beautiful in the insular world of NYC media. Kin Ying Lee said "Visit Brooklyn. You can't call yourself a New Yorker if you have only seen Manhattan and not explored the other boroughs. This neighborhood is especially important to me because I live there with my family. Uhmm. have you explored other boroughs aside from Brooklyn? and "It is where we landed after moving here from Ohio." O.hi.o -- that.is. all How are the people profiled here notable city dwellers and true New Yorkers? You need to give yourself a timeout, time out New York.
"I spent junior high and school in Minnesota, and I went to college in Washington, D.C. I moved back to New York six years ago." If I were to say this same thing about having attended college somewhere else and then moving back to Minnesota, does not make me a Minnesotan. Definitely written by a New York transplant who thinks NYC is comprised of only rich white trustafarian yunnies transplants, and most likely Lauren is one.
Whoever wrote the article should be fired immediately
This article is a Joke... Nothing New York is mentioned here... Nothing neighborhood mention or how it was when I grew up (26) or when my parents grew up... This article is from a trendy dirty hipster wrote who makes it clear the know absolutely nothing ab real newyork....this is PATHETIC

Toto Wolff has quashed fears that McLaren's decision to swap to Honda power in 2015 will hurt their chances next season.
2014 will definitely be McLaren's final year with Mercedes engines as the Woking team has opted to return to Honda with whom they had success in the past.
There are concerns that McLaren could suffer as a result as Mercedes become wary of sharing their V6 secrets with their soon-to-be departing client.
Wolff, though, insists McLaren will get equal treatment.
"McLaren is a customer and we have long history with McLaren, so we will do everything to support them from Mercedes' point of view," he said.
"We are in modern times so there is no such thing as different specs [of engine] and different specs are not allowed by the regulations anyway. The support of Mercedes is there [for McLaren] as it is for anybody else."
Meanwhile, McLaren's managing director Jonathan Neale concedes that Mercedes will be wary of sharing secrets but believes they will still provide the F1 team with the goods.
"I've worked with Mercedes for a long time and I know the team up there [in Brixworth]," he told ESPNF1.
"I think when you have limited engines - the days of six engines in a weekend are long gone - with just five power units for the year, it means that in order to get a high-quality part, everything coming down the production line has to be the same. They can't have an 'A' model, a 'B' model and a 'C' model.
"Now, do I think in a glimmer of a dyno somewhere that the one that's a little bit better might go in one direction? I think so, but it's going to be in the noise. Parity is something that will give Mercedes-Benz the quality and brand reputation that they want, so I don't fear that at all.
"In terms of the service that we are getting, then clearly they are not going to reveal as much of the internal workings of what is going on. But I've no worries about the quality of team we have in the garage or the support from Brixworth."

Needing advice for a tablet, convertible, or laptop for artist...
Quick Reply
Hellos all here, and good day...
I am a new member here and have read a LOT and watched quite a few reviews and videos of all the nice compys coming out.
I decided on some gifts for my wife and daughter and myself for IncomeTax Time, (and because I am on Workers comp for an (drawing) arm injury and couldn't really provide a good enough Christmas this year because of that.) The comps are a gift to my family for sticking with me through the mess through the year.
My wife will be getting an All in One desktop from Asus with touchscreen, daughter who is 8 will be getting a Galaxy Note 10 in white, as she LOVES drawing the MLP ponies and she's quite good as well. I love encouraging her to draw, unlike my parents when I grew up.
So with those two members taken care of for now, I now have a dilemma. What can I get?
I'm looking to replace my 5 year old Cintiq CQ60 boat-anchor laptop, but with what I have NO CLUE OR IDEA. About me: I'm an artist as a hobby, (just sketching, pencils on paper mainly) and I do love drawing. I did have a Cintiq 12 some years ago and I LOVED it, but had to sell to pay some bills. I prefer laptops, but looking for something that does not require a crane to lift off my lap, or makes my house lights dim when I turn on the power.
But with all the new choices, I am reading and re-reading and reading again about the different ones out now, it's annoying my wife, and she says for me to just 'pick one'.
I think I can ask what you can suggest be best for me? New or even used is good, but I am leaning towards new, or mebee a year old tops.
The Requirements are: (for laptop, tablet, and convertible) Wacom Stylus usable, Touchscreen, Backlit Keyboard, and not too expensive. (Why I also chose used or reurbished)
But here's the hard part... I LOVE the convertibles, laptop-tablets, laplets, pad-tops? ya know the ones that flip, flop, and flutter around the room when ya sneak up behind them and scare them at 2:30 AM? I seen and liked the Dell XPS 12 and loved how the screen flipped and became a tablet, and that came with a backlit keyboard as well. But from what I read, I can't use a Wacom Stylus with it, (CRIES) and it was $1200 dollars... OWW Major wallet cramp.
(I did see a used XPS Windows 7 with the flip screen on Amazon and Ebay, but I wasn't sure about it being artist and Wacom friendly, and wasn't backlit.)
Then there was the Lenovo Yoga that was able to contort itself around and backwards, (kinda like my brain is in trying to choose something here.) and I liked the look. Interesting about getting a sleeve to protect the keys in tablet form, but I read some quality issues with the paint coming off the frame (reported by other owners in a forum I read from) already within a few weeks, and that's unthinkable for a expensive lap-let.
I seen ads for the Transformer Book that has the laptop with the backlit keyboard dock, but no one is saying when or how much it will be. GAHHHHHSS !!!!
My questions are, Can a regular laptop with a touchscreen, and lit keyboard, like the Acer 5 Timeline support the Wacom Stylus, and be good for drawing on screen? As I seen a Windows 8 model at BB for $529. If not, what can you suggest? I am even half arsed tempted to get a separate laptop and a Samsung Galaxy Note for myself so I can draw again, without using daughter's own Note 10. I'd even choose just the Note 10 myself, as I like the idea of a tablet being a laptop replacement, but are they powerful enough?
Any advice will be most helpful.
(I am also retraining myself to draw again left handed, as I suffered a right arm nerve injury that almost destroyed 70% use of my drawing hand. But I am still determined to draw, I will even use my teeth if I have to. Hee !!!)
Thank you all for being so kind, bows in thanks,
Kimono-skunk. <><

Oh my god! She thought I was a man and kept saying how much she loved me and how she would be with me forever if I helped her get to the states. I'M A 15 YEAR OLD YOUNG WOMAN! I kept replying, like a fool who was overcome with curiosity and sympathy, but I made sure she knew that I couldn't do anything, and I wasn't lying. I don't know what I would have done, had I actually have had the power to help, but I honestly think that I would have fallen for it. I'm still unsure about it: what if she IS telling the truth and really DOES need someone's help? I would feel absolutely terrible if I knew that she really was suffering. I know it sounds stupid and naive, but I can't shake that feeling. I did notice too that she had sent it through this site, but like the rest of you, found no account. I discovered that she had an account on MetroJoint.com or something like that, so if that helps anybody, please take it. Any further questions, PLEASE email me!
I just wanted you to know and I am glad that it is out there now because now they know that can't scam us. We have to look out for each other so no one gets hurt. If I can help just 1 person I did something good. It's important as fans and new friends to try to stick together and fight against scams like " Esther Tanba", if that is who she really is. Thanks for the feed back smackers and please keep your eyes open and your wallets closed. Don't fall victim to them!!

Firestone's Ride-Rite LS air shock system is a tri-tube mono-flow air shock absorber designed to deliver superior performance under a full range of load and temperature conditions.
The air shock absorber is directly connected to the helper spring, allowing pressure within the air spring to automatically control the air shocks performance.
As a result, damping is low when the vehicle is unloaded to deliver a comfortable ride and then automatically increases to stiffer damping when the vehicle is loaded for improved control.
The air shock performance changes dynamically with the modifications in payload on the axle, resulting in better body and roll control as well as safe and secure handling of your truck. And because damping level is automatically controlled by the air pressure inside the air bag, there is no need to crawl under the truck to adjust the shocks.

Itsy Bitsy Babies
Through music, finger-plays, and the reading short books, infants are introduced to pre-literacy skills and socialization at the library.Ā The structured programs last for approximately 15 minutes, with an additional 15-30 minutes for the babies to crawl around and the parents/caregivers to network with each other.

You got some decent cc there, why don't you use it?
Shackle (2x)
Fear Undead
And why do you have troubles with the start of phase 2? Everyone is topped off before and unless all fail at the pillars there shouldn't be much more then 4-6 magma stacks average plus some shadow barrages to heal through.
We kited them with a frostmage on 10s, too. But he died from time to time.. You can try use your boomkin or your ret pally to actually tank/kite them with the aid of a frosttrap and a ring of frost it's very manageable. You just need to find a position where neither both dragon's tail/breath nor Onyxia's electro thingy can hit them.

The components that you hang on a bike frame can be just as important as the frame itself. Forks, rims, wheels, lights, and other parts play a huge role in how the bike rides. Even an expensive ultralight frame can be weighed down with poorly designed components until it rides like an old, heavy bike. Alternately, an older frame can be revitalized with modern, lightweight upgrades.
Detour will change the way you explore. Connect with professional outdoor guides across the US.
