Financing Long-Term Care for Minnesotas Baby Boomers (January 2005)
Implementation issues
Communications campaign: Beginning in the fall of 2007 and continuing through 2008, the State will be using grant money from the Center for Health Care Strategies and working with a public relations group to develop and implement a social marketing campaign to promote Partnership. Initial plans include possible use of Public Service Announcements, mailings to large Minnesota employers and the development of online decision support tools.
Data reporting: Federal law requires the federal government to develop recommendations for a data set to be used by Partnership insurers to report Partnership inflation to the federal government in a secure, electronic format. A draft data set has been developed and federal regulations are expected out by the summer of 2008, with implementation sometime in 2008.
Reciprocity: A number of other states have implemented Partnership programs or are in the process of developing them. The federal government has developed standards for a national reciprocity agreement for all states participating in the Partnership program. A person who has purchased a partnership policy in one state can receive asset protection when applying for Medical Assistance for Long-Term Care in another Partnership state with which the first Partnership state has a reciprocal agreement. These standards require all states developing Partnership programs after 1993 to accept reciprocal agreements with other states unless the state notifies the federal government to the contrary.
Minnesota implementation timetable
The following is a chronology of the steps Minnesota took to implement its Partnership program.
July 2005: Minnesota law (M.S. 256B.0571) changed to allow for Partnership in Minnesota if allowed for by federal government.
July 2006: Minnesota law (M.S. 256B.0571) brought into compliance with the 2005 Deficit Reduction Act (DRA).
August 2006: State Plan Amendment filed with federal government; Program director hired, Implementation group consisting of Minnesota Department of Human Services, the Minnesota Department of Commerce and various industry groups begins meeting; Analysis of financial impact completed.
November 2006: Industry focus group held; State Plan Amendment, approved with effective date retroactive to July 1, 2006.
February 2007: Suggested Medical Assistance training materials issued.
May 2007: Minnesota Statute (M.S. 60K.365) regarding producer training changed.
July 2007: Guidance on producer training issued.
August 2007: Guidance on certification of existing policy filings issued.
October 2007: Guidance on inflation protection, exchange procedures and notification requirements issued.
December 2007: First insurers have policy filings approved. Web site goes live.
February 2008: All producers selling long-term care insurance in Minnesota required to have received initial training.
September 2009: Guidance to counties issued

GET A LIFE! Para sa mga TSISMOSO at TSISMOSA
There is so much good in the worst of us and so much bad in the best of us. That it's hardly becomes any of us, to talk about the rest of us.
If your mouth sometimes runs away with you and you hurt others (or yourself) by your gossiping, spilling the beans and divulging other people's secrets – then ito ay para sa iyo.
OO naman! It's only human to be curious about what's going on with other people. We like to compare other people's lives with our own. We wonder how successful they are and what their love life is like. We are social creatures – and gossiping is part of that.
'Gossip' is basically talking about someone else when they are not around. Dapat na hindi naririnig ng taong pinaguuspan na sya ay pinaguusapan. Tama naman di ba?
Kasi nga, the test which shows whether you are gossiping or not is basically to ask yourself: 'Would the person I am talking about be comfortable with me saying these things about them to these people if they were actually present?'
Well, gossip can seem harmless. A certain amount of sharing of information can be a way of bonding people together in groups, and talking about people who aren't there is part of life – but can you always swear that the person you are talking about would be happy about what you are divulging?
Like, kung mahilig sya manghingi ng yosi at kendi kapag yosi break, na mahilig sya humiram ng barya kapag mas madami sya bills kesa coins at kinakalimutan na lang nya talaga, na mas okay sa kanya na karelasyon ang kapwa nya babae o kapwa nya lalake, na girlfriend sya ngayon ng officemate nyo na may asawa, na F na F sya na akala nya gusto na sya ng lalaki pero di pala "assuming as she was quoted", na mahilig sya sa sumama sa mga gatherings kahit di sya invited, at marami pang iba. Hehehe, these we're the few gossips spreading around my workplace. To my colleagues, alam kung kilala nyo ang ilan sa kanila, sa floor ko narinig ang mga ito eh. Aminin!
Wala naman masama na pagusapan ang mga bagay na bagay na tulad nun. Minsan nga natatawa pa tayo pag ganito ang topic. The trouble is that gossip spreads. Sometimes faster than wildfire. And because the story doing the rounds can get distorted – Chinese whispers style – when it finally gets back to the one who was being talked about it can seem malicious. Even if the originator had no such intention, but just to make fun and entertain himself or herself.
So even so-called 'harmless gossip' can ruin reputations – not just the reputation of the subject of the gossip, but your reputation too, if you were the one who started the gossip, or helped to spread it.
Ilagay nyo ang sarili mo sa sitwasyon nya, ikaw ang pinaguusapan.Awwww…ano kaya nag magiging topic about you? Hindi ba parang nakakagago?..hahaha..
I know what could be the great excuse to hide the foul mouth, TOTOO NAMAN ANG SINASABI ko no? (with matching raise eyebrow and frown face).
Hmmmnn, gossip need need not to be false to be evil – there's a lot of truth that shouldn't be passed around as well.
Kaya nga if you haven't got anything nice to say about anybody, just try to take a deep breath and find something better to do.
Let me quote this statement by Johann K. Lavater:
"Never tell evil of a man, if you do not know it for certainty, and if you know it for a certainty, then ask yourself, 'Why should I tell it?'
I hope you get it! WAKAPAKE sa buhay ng iba, don't deal with other person's business. You have a life of your own and you better have enough of it.
January 27, 2011 at 11:09
Parte ng buhay ang chismis… Aminin mo man o hinde nakikinig ka dito. At di kayang baguhin ng kahit anong blogs ang bibig ng tao. Hehehe
January 28, 2011 at 11:09
Ang daya bakit nalalaman kung sino nag cocoment? Hahahaha peace! Maka kontra lang hehehe
January 13, 2012 at 11:09
Great writeup.. i stumble on ur article while looking for "handling tsismosas"
haaay.. buhay nga naman.

Like a deliberate effort to humanize the type of sound heard in Spiral Architect and other technical bands, Twisted into Form's goal, according to the press release, is that of "conjuring extraordinary emotions through each musician's contribution." That they are only partially successful in this can be attributed in large part to Leif Knashaug's limitations. With the air of a bestselling novelist referencing an early, scathing rejection letter, he concludes his personal profile at the Twisted into Form homepage with a 1987 quotation attributed to Kerrang, characterizing him (presumably) as "a piss poor vocalist." While I wouldn't go that far in describing the Leif of today, he is mediocre. Sterile and stiff, his thin voice carries little emotional resonance, and sounds particularly weak on "The Thin Layers of Lust and Love," which also has some lame vocal harmonies. Only on "Coda," where he is helped by a poignant melody, does he generate much feeling. Elsewhere, his strident, annoyed tone may be the only aspect of his singing that could be called emotive, as well as being the lone distinguishing feature of what is otherwise a generic prog-style voice. For a clean, non-aggressive singer, Knashaug is strangely abrasive most of the time, and not in a good way.
Part of what makes him off-putting is that the vocal melodies themselves can be stilted or jerky, intentionally, perhaps, so as to make the voice a percussive element and to convey a sense of agitation, one that would have come across better with a warmer, more soulful singer. That feeling is, however, expressed effectively and pleasurably by the other instruments, peaking in "Enter Nothingness" and "Coda." Lyrically and musically, these tracks suggest the beginning and end of a circular journey initiated by and concluding with the affliction alluded to in the album's rather pretentious-sounding title, which, I learned, is from Kierkegaard. Whether this knowledge makes it seem less pretentious or more, I'm not sure. Turmoil mixed with calmer moods dominates the middle portion, and throughout there are intricate riffs and rhythms, lush melodies (notably in "Torrents"), and great variety in the guitar sounds as well as in the style and length of the songs to command one's attention. While the music isn't consistently interesting, at times becoming merely background entertainment, there are few missteps (a glaring one being the tired in medias res opening of "House of Nadir") and many excellent choices. Sound-wise, Then Comes Affliction to Awaken the Dreamer has enough in common with Spiral Architect to somewhat assuage yearnings for a follow-up to A Sceptic's Universe, and although the vocals will be a deterrent for some, it should appeal to most fans of non-aggressive technical metal.

Spondylolysis in Children- Healing Potential and Treatment/ Pars Interarticularis Fractures in the Lumbar Spine in Adolescents
The pars interarticularis is the bony portion of the vertebra that connects the pedicles to the inferior (lower) facets. In fact, the term "interarticularis" means the area between two articulations (joints). There are two pars interarticularis bony junctions- one on each side. The two lower joints below the pars articulate with (hook onto) the upper joints of the vertebra below.
The purpose of these lower joints is two fold. One is that these joints act like railroad tracks to guide the motion of the vertebrae above on the vertebra below. The second function of these joints is that they act as "doorstops" to prevent the vertebra above from sliding forward on the lower vertebra. The lower two vertebra (L4 and L5) sit on a ski slope pointing downhill and these intact "doorstops" prevent this slide.
In the front of the two vertebrae sits the disc. The disc is an excellent shock absorber or "bushing". This disc is the main cushion for spinal impact. The disc however has no directional stability. Without the facets in back to protect it, the disc can twist, flex and extend, laterally bend and tilt and shear (slip forward and backwards). It is the intact facets that prevent the spine from bending in certain injurious directions.
When the connections between the facets and the pedicles are severed (pars interarticularis fractures), the disc is unprotected and can undergo motions that can cause damage. The disc is especially sensitive to rotational and shear forces, the forces that cause one vertebra to slide forward, sideways or rotate on the other. The facets prevent these forces on the disc by acting as "doorstops".
Because the upper vertebra's lower facets hook onto the lower vertebra's upper facets, the intact facets restrict the shear forces of the vertebral segments. If the facets wear out (as in the case of a degenerative spondylolisthesis) or break off (as in the case of bilateral pars fractures or isthmic spondylolysis), this protection is lost. If the disc gives way and the vertebra then slips forward on the one below, this problem is called an isthmic spondylolisthesis.
It is estimated that one of every twenty children will develop pars interarticularis fractures. If these fractures occur, they normally occur between the ages of 8 and 15 years. Why are these fractures not more commonly diagnosed in this age group? Many times the child that develops new fractures will not initially complain of significant symptoms or will ignore the pain and not report it to parents, coaches and trainers.
Early Diagnosis and Potential Healing
If the fractures are diagnosed early in childhood, the pediatrician is the physician that normally uncovers the fractures. Many injured children however never become diagnosed. This section deals with what to do if these fractures are diagnosed early when the child still has a chance to heal and the disc has not been injured.
In general, children generally have very good bone fracture healing potential. The pars interarticularis fractures however are the one set of fractures in particular that are resistant to healing. There are three reasons for this. One is that the surface area of these fractures is very small. Bone fractures heal best with large surface areas and the surface area of this fracture is smaller than some of the smallest bones in the hand.
Bone also has better healing potential when large cancellous surface areas are exposed. Cancellous bone is the "spongy bone" inside the hard cortical bone and has many bone generating cells. Unfortunately, the pars interarticularis has almost no cancellous bone.
The third problem is that this area of the spine has some of the greatest motion and shear forces acting on it, This fact is one of the main reasons the bone fractured in the first place. Getting an active child or teenager to rest this area is almost an act of God. A brace can slow a child down but will not immobilize the area and healing bone cells do not respond well to motion.
In the typical bilateral pars fractures, healing without a brace and without reduced activity has a very poor repair rate. Healing with a brace and three to six months of reduced activity has a success rate of about 50%. The chance of re-fracture is not know at this time but children with healed fractures can occasionally re-fracture if they go back to their previous level and type of activity.
Unilateral (one sided) Pars Fractures
Although it is uncommon for only one side of the pars interarticularis to fracture, unilateral fractures do occur. If a unilateral pars fracture does arise, the opposite pars will be placed under more stress and therefore will hypertrophy (lay down more bone-Wolfe's Law) to resist the greater forces placed upon it. If the fractured side does not heal, the greater bone mass of the opposite side may allow an individual who has a unilateral pars fracture to live with it comfortably. However, the unilateral break may create enough stress on the opposite side to eventually fracture it also.
The unilateral pars fracture has a much better chance of healing with rest and bracing. Think of the vertebra and both pars interarticularis as a ring. If only one break of the ring occurs, the ring still has some torsional rigidity. If there are two breaks, the ring is broken in half and has no rigidity. A recently diagnosed one-sided (unilateral) break allowed three months of bracing and rest will normally heal.
Healing potential and resolution can be assessed by MRI, X-rays, bone scan and CT scan. There are particular appearances that may indicate an effort by the body to heal the fracture and conversely, a noted lack of healing potential.
The unilateral pars interarticularis fracture needs to be differentiated from a facet fracture. If the fracture line starts at the pars interarticularis but descends obliquely instead of normally traversing across the pars, this fault line can fracture off the entire facet. A facet fracture will not heal. The CT scan is the only useful tool to diagnose this injury.
Non-Healed Fractures and Altered Biomechanics
What is the future of the spine in the adolescent with bilateral pars fractures that do not heal? If both pars are fractured, the biomechanics of the spine changes. There is more stress placed upon the disc and the entire spine can slip forward (isthmic spondylolisthesis- see separate section on this website). This leads to disc tears and degenerative changes of the disc. Some patients develop lower back pain and even leg pain if a pedicular bone spur develops. To prevent degenerative changes from occurring, there is mounting evidence that the pars fractures need to be surgically repaired.Please see section on surgical pars repair on this website for further information.

Subaru pulled back the curtain on its Viziv diesel-hybrid concept this past Tuesday morning at the Geneva Motor Show. The company has placed two electric motors with a 2.0-liter boxer diesel engine to show off its "vision for innovation," a phrase from which Subaru conjured the Viziv moniker.
Company literature on the new model proclaims it to be, "a new design direction…that will take the Subaru brand into the future." With its lithium-ion battery pack, butterfly doors, CVT transmission, and all-wheel-drive capability, the 4-seater is unlike anything the carmaker has yet produced. The Geneva Motor Show, one of the global auto industry's most significant expositions, runs through March 17.
Subaru enthusiasts will find much to love in the carmaker's freshest concept vehicle, now on display at the Geneva Motor Show. As the above video clip mentions, the Viziv diesel-hybrid concept car from Subaru is a sort of styling signpost for what lies ahead, perhaps three, five, or even seven years down the road. The exterior design flourishes and attractive, aerodynamic body are not the surprising facts about the car. Its drivetrain, however, is a very big story, pointing to a future lineup of alternative-fuel Subarus that definitely break the mold for the Japanese automaker. At the Geneva event, specs for the Viziv are scarce. Fuel efficiency, torque, and all the standard laundry list of data are absent. Some interpret the paucity of numerical information to mean that Subaru wishes to draw attention to one key fact about the Viziv, and that is the diesel-hybrid system. Automakers use shows like this one to make all sorts of announcements about their intentions for the near future. Subaru seems to be telling us exactly where it plans to go.

After attending the Custo Barcelona Spring 2011 RTW show over the weekend, I had an incredible urge to hop in a VW van and take off down the California coast. Too bad I'm 3,000 miles away and don't own a motor vehicle. The latest women and men's collections from Spanish designer Custo Dalmau definitely remained true to his aesthetic -- with psychedelic prints that would make even Jimi Hendrix say whoa!
The show featured lots of hippie fringe trim, colorful feather detail and beachy, mussed-up hair on the models, evoking a late 1960s West Coast vibe. Some of the stand-out pieces included a flowy tunic with graphic butterfly print, paired with bright Chevron-striped pants; a patchwork one-piece with tie-dyed hooded cardigan; and a flirty miniskirt made from neon-hued plumes with heavy wooden platforms. The anything-goes, mix-and-match feel of the looks recalls gypset style -- perfect for the jetsetter who resort hops. As for menswear, striped suit jackets and plaid pants complemented the dressed-up surfer theme.
Spring Trend 2011 Takeaway: Don't throw out any of your fringed handbags! Instead, dig through your mom's closet for some peace-and-love accessories. Or hit the vintage shops for loose vests, braided belts and funky short dresses.
What do you think of these looks? Chime in now!

luckily, the petition to get the Gov't to recognize them as a hate group (putting them in the same type of group as the KKK) has gotten about 8 times the required number of signatures to be considered, so hopefully the church will soon have the right to be associated with religion stripped from them

They do this **** all the time. They go to the funerals of soldiers and children - basically high-profile funerals in general - and thank God for those people's deaths, because it was God punishing America for being so tolerant of homosexuality.

Economic bubble
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
An economic bubble happens when a market goes through a very fast inflation of value. This inflation is followed by a quick decrease in value, called a "crash" or a "bubble burst". Economic bubbles can be caused by many things, but many economists believe that economic bubbles are related to inflation. An economic bubble can cause an economic crisis, such as the Great Depression or the Economic crisis of 2007-2010.

Geneva '08 Preview: Giugiaro-Italdesign releases 3rd teaser image
Why do the Italians insist on teasing us so with their curves and sensuality? It seems like the design houses got together and decided to torture us for a few weeks leading up to this year's Geneva Motor Show. Pininfarina's been killing us slowly with the agonizing inch-by-inch unveiling of its Sintesi show car, the Bertones are playing cat and mouse about showing up with their BAT 11 concept altogether, even Giugiaro has joined in the fun.
A third image of Italdesign's forthcoming concept car has now surfaced ahead of schedule, giving us another hint at the design house's latest. Sources suggest it could be called the Quaranta ("forty" in Italiano) to commemorate the firm's fortieth anniversary, while the slogan "nature has never been so powerful" adorning the Italdesign-Giugiaro website suggests the concept will feature some sort of conceptual environmentally-friendly powertrain. With one week to go, we'll just have to sit tight and wait for the car's official debut, which is sure to be flanked by more curvaceous Italian models rivaling even their employer's penchant for teasing.

Brand Icons
'Chicken Club - Sticker design motif used on all food products.'
When a client hires me to illustrate a sausage gondola and a hot dog smoking a pipe it goes without saying that the project is going to be a fun one to work on. This was the case when I was asked to create a set of icons for use in a new re-branding of a popular restaurant chain in Canada called Kolachy Co.
Kolachy's offers a wide range of unique pastry sandwich flavors and thus needed an equally unique set of icons to distinguish each of them. Working closely with the art director I developed a fun whimsical concept for such flavors as "Terrazzo Sausage" (Sausage Gondola), "Spinach & Feta" (Popeye Arm), "Steak and Cheese" (Cow with Swiss Cheese Holes), "Ginger Beef" (Cow in Chopsticks) and "BBQ Beef" (Flaming Cow Head) and many more.
'A particle selection of the '38' icons I designed.'
Each of the icons will be used within the context of the sticker design motif shown above. These stickers will be applied to the actual food item within the restaurants to clarify the flavor or food type being offered. The colors used are part of Kolachy's new overall branding strategy developed by ReThink.
I enjoy working closely with a creative team like ReThink, bouncing around ideas and fine tuning concepts until you arrive at a well crafted solution.

Let's make this clear:
Football is a violent game.
The game cripples young men, leaving many limping for the rest of their lives.
I've seen befuddled ball carriers wander into the wrong huddle. This confusion is, in a way, humorous, but the laughter fades when this wandering lingers for decades.
A friend named Joe, who is a devout Air Force football fan, sent an email Thursday. He protested an online headline from spring football. The headline described the Falcons practice sessions as "violent."
"The spring practice was NOT violent," Joe wrote. "It was tough and hard hitting but NOT violent."
Hate to disagree, Joe, but Air Force's spring practices were violent. I watched ball carriers get driven into the fake grass at Falcon Stadium, their bodies landing with a skull-rattling thud while their teammates on the defensive side howled in approval.
I'm not saying Air Force's practices were especially bloodthirsty. Football, played and practiced correctly, is violent.
We reside in an encouraging, confusing era when it comes to football. We are awakening to the game's toll as we listen to aging, brain-damaged players who can't find their keys because they placed them, for no reason, in the freezer.
Most of us have joined the crusade to make the game safer. A few fans cling to the barbarous ways of yesterday. Most of us have awakened.
The game is changing. Shots to the head were common, no big deal, in the recent past. Those same shots now inspire personal fouls and, in the NFL, stiff fines. Ejections could soon arrive for college football's head hunters.
A movement is gaining momentum in the college game to limit contact in practice. To construct a winning team, a coach must simulate the brutality of games at practice sessions. This simulation often leads to injury.
Air Force coach Troy Calhoun serves as chair of the NCAA Football Rules Committee. He's a sensitive man. In my decades of watching college football, I've never seen a coach quicker to join an injured player on the field. No doubt, he cares about the health of his Falcons.
But he's also a realist who is skeptical of the merits of limiting the days of full practice hitting.
"Football is a very physical and combative activity," Calhoun said. "Because of it, you have to train and they have to be training sessions that are physical and combative."
I asked Calhoun why he avoided the word "violent."
He laughed.
"I'm letting you do that," he said.
Calhoun compared preparing his players for a football game to a boxer's sparring sessions before a bout. He wants to squeeze every last chance to teach his players to thrive during the vicious afternoons of autumn.
"If you don't train how to tackle right and block right, it's very dangerous, I think," Calhoun said.
He has a point.
But the game is very dangerous no matter what.

Pyramid Math Card Game
See in slideshow:3rd Grade Math Games Medley
Want to ditch those tiresome flash cards? Check out this game that has kids create a pyramid with playing cards! It's a fun and easy way to help your child learn addition and subtraction. This math activity also transitions well into a history lesson; After game play, you can introduce your kid to these magnificent feats of architecture that for thousands of years were the largest structures on Earth.
What You Need:
- Deck of cards
What You Do:
- Help your child shuffle the deck of cards.
- To get the game started, have your kid flip the top three cards of the deck over and arrange them in a triangle, with one card on top and two beneath it.
- Have you child draw three more cards from the deck. Challenge him to figure out if he can find a way to integrate the cards he's drawn. For instance, if the top number is a six, and the row beneath it consists of a two and an eight, he could make a third row of the numbers 4 (6-2), 8 (6+2) and 2 (8-6).
- If he can't use certain cards, have him put them in a discard pile.
- He should continue building the pyramid until the deck is depleted.
- When he runs out of cards, have him shuffle the cards that have been discarded and try to integrate those cards into the pyramid the second time around.
Once he's used all of the cards to the best of his abilities, encourage him to take a step back and admire his math pyramid.

NCIS: Los Angeles Review: End of the Beginningby Carla Day at . Updated at . Comments
If you were hoping for a hug, a smooch or something more between Deeks and Kensi, you were likely left disappointed at the end of NCIS: Los Angeles Season 5 Episode 21.
If you wanted the partners to honor their agreement to be patient and take things slow, then you were probably left satisfied. There definitely weren't any fireworks; instead it was a slow burning fire between the two. They are both the masters of subtlety.
Immediately after "Three Hearts" ended, I wasn't sure how to read the final interactions between Kensi and Deeks. He wanted to talk and she ... didn't? After some consideration, I decided what happened was quite beautiful and demonstrated the special and unique language the two of them speak with each other.
Hetty was up to her games again by having the two of them interrogate Agent Angelo. I didn't like him one bit. He was smarmy and full of himself. He may have been able to read them well, but they didn't let him get the best of them. They maintained control of the room for the most part.
In the end, Angelo was a compromised agent. When he was given the opportunity to help Olivia to turn on her husband, Angelo used it to warn her instead. That was a choice that cost several men their lives, landed Olivia in prison, and caused Angelo to lose his true identity. He paid a hefty price for his misplaced loyalty.
Hetty let him go to suffer as Angelo, but warned him she would call on him in the future. I hope she doesn't. I don't want to see him ever again, though her threat was an added torture for him to suffer.
After finishing the case, Kensi and Deeks talked. I find it a bit odd that they haven't hung out at all since they returned from Afghanistan. They used to be friends and go out for dinner and hang out all them time. Now, there's a weird awkwardness between them. I really want them to get over that and quick.
Angelo's story of the three hearts, provided the lead-in that Kensi needed. She asked him, "What's your third heart tell you?" And, he responded by giving back her father's knife. At first thought, I took it as him giving back a class ring. He was ending it with her, but then it took on a different meaning.
He wants to believe raccoons mate for life after all. He gave her the knife back because he didn't need it any more. It was a reminder of her while she was gone and now she's back. He has her and he doesn't need to keep her proxy. In response, Kensi used the knife to open the box that he's been curious about all this time.
The box has taken on the representation of their relationship. It's been boxed up. She cut it open. Instead of ending their relationship, they moved it forward to the next level. It got even better when the contents were revealed. Kensi, she's a smart one. Deeks pulled out the contents and it was another sealed box. "Touche." Too bad he doesn't have knife to open it!
It was poetic, but wouldn't you just rather have them go out for a drink? Maybe next week!
Even Hetty realizes they have taken a step forward, even if Granger can't see it. It's definitely "The end of the beginning."
Were you happy with the box reveal and all that went with it?

I didn't see it like a lot of people I guess, I thought they took a huge step forward. The scene about her gym bag in the evidence locker was cute and she was not upset in the least at him for monkeying with her bras like she was in season 3 neighbourhood watch. the part about his not needing to tell her he has superman underwear was funny. my guess is she has already seen it. He was always going to return the knife as it was her fathers and it was and if the box was ever going to get opened she needed to do it. I thought it was quite clear when she asked him about their thing. He said I DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH THAT. That's a very negative statement its something we would say when we get a rude remark our way or a gift we don't like. He is telling her he doesn't want just a thing that's meaning less to him. She asked what does his third heart say and he answers I believe raccoons mate for life. I think it was very clear , he just told her he wanted to marry her one day and be soul mates . She smiles and uses the knife to open the box , basically excepting his offer . Notice when she goes for the box he lets out that huge sigh? its like the huge sigh of relieve he let out when she got up from the table at the restaurant in Recovery when he said he wanted to be at his place with her. Same sigh he let out by the ambulance in frozen lake when she finally admitted to their thing. It was a huge relieve to him all three times that she is on the same page as him.. The smaller box inside looks a lot like the box she had in the ncis archives in season 1 episode BANK JOB. It has all her most dearest personal things including her fathers medals. She told him last year that in the box is the thing he wanted most in life . Deeks was always snooping into her personal stuff so this is what he wants most to know everything about Kensi. In the end all will be good with them and she will give him all the things dearest to her.
I have to admit I wasn't able to read into it all you have blogged about. If the way you are interpreting what was going on is correct then awesome. After taking a poll of folks coming through my line at work (most of whom had no idea about the show at all and must live under a rock - LOL) the others were just as confused about all the "symbols" and lack of actual words. Maybe the interactive sync would have been better to explain to the rest of us what the writers intent was so we could all rest easy at the end of the night that we are watching the "love story" we so desperately want in one of our favorite shows. Please writers don't do this to us again.....Yuck!
I really dug this episode. I liked the guest star, and I'm happy they may bring him back in some capacity. He did a great job with the dialogue between Deeks, Kensi, and himself. Once I saw the guy who played Brunson, I had a feeling that the wife was the one in charge. He chewed up the scenery and it was glorious watching him be hammy. The krokodil story was different because this was the first time I've heard of it being mentioned on a fictional show. Sam and Callen were great this week. I know Brennan talked about how they were going to delve deeper into their friendship and how it makes their partnership stronger. When they go undercover, it doesn't take them long to develop an approach and they can adjust very quickly if the situation sees fit. Hopefully next season they can give us a little more regarding Callen's back story. I know last season was Sam's season pertaining to his family, but we don't know much about Sam's upbringing. I would like to see more of that. Now to the big, season long story. I was extremely happy to see how the writers' handled Deeks and Kensi. For the sake of longevity, this will keep people intrigued. I was never a regular viewer of NCIS, but I think the difference is that Kensi and Deeks WILL be together. Excuse my ignorance, but I don't know if Tony and Ziva ever felt like they were destined to be together. Before the end of this show, barring a cast member leaving (knock on wood), they will end this show together. They may not be married or expecting, and it may just end up with Deeks and Kensi somewhere holding hands and smiling at each other. I thought it was extremely responsible of Deeks to realize that this wasn't the right time. It definitely provided a bit of character growth. From watching "The Frozen Lake", "Fish out of Water" and "Spoils of War", I should've noticed that Deeks would've been the person to hold off on the beginning of the relationship. Finally, Granger and Hetty commenting at the end personally dampened the moment.
I had a feeling that the wife would be the power-half of that couple. The hissing husband TRIED to act like some tough guy but it just didn't ring true for me. I'm guessing the writers had that in mind so that the twist would be somewhat believable. Anyone else wanna talk about THE CASE?
For me to say that I was really curious on what was inside that box would be an understatement - Because when Deeks got up from the chair I did the exactly the same from the couch, but that other box was a brilliant touch and it all screamed Kensi and Deeks wits. I really hope though that the content will be revealed by the end of this season. And don't despair, Kensi and Deeks is still on, they're just in a holden pattern, because the charge/tension between them could power a city block in that scene. Deeks did the right thing, their thing just need to simmer for awhile, it will happen soon enough. (I hope)
Did anyone find deeks face suspicious when callen said that kensi had picked up his hygiene habits? Are they trying to trick the team so they both remain on the team? Maybe I'm just thinking too optimistically about their relationship:/ am I alone in this?
You could be right - And they would never display affection for each other on the job, so it could be a ruse for the others - Just my two cents.
I don't know what's up with Granger, I wear I don't like him. Bad vibe or something. Anyone else feel the same way? I am pretty sure he and Hetty are against them and making sure things don't "develop" between the two,
I never liked Granger because when he shows up, things get ridonkulously messy and he ends up f*cking with the team's collective heads. As for he and Hetty seeming to be against a romantic "Densi" relationship, I think they're right to be concerned--in their line of work it could be dangerous for them and the rest of the team. Look at what happened in Afghanistan--despite her orders to shoot the White Ghost, she couldn't do it when evidence pointed to it being her ex-fiance.
Kensi not taking that shot was the whole idea all along... It was Hetty's plan.
@ MrWriteSF... apparently you missed the dialog in the show where Hetty actually said she sent Kensi on the mission knowing that she would see Jack and NOT kill him... because she (Hetty) was protecting Jack...
Doesn't matter--Kensi didn't know Hetty's plan. It's still Kensi not complying with an order because of her personal feelings.
JEEZ....I hope there's an Amnesty International for metaphors....'cause you're all beatin' this one to death and it should be reported to a higher authority.
Yes, the word touche is getting a bit tired. I'm shocked there hasn't been an episode with that title. Though sometimes it's been really funny. "Touche, touche, you cannot touch my tush-ay..."
Just so nobodies kidding themselves, this romance-thing is over.
Back burner, very low heat. It ain't over 'till one of 'em says so.
Am I the only one who didn't understand what Kensi and Deeks did in the ending? The 3rd heart & the knife? Even when the agent explained what 3 hearts meant, I was still confused. "The end of a beginning," anyone care to explain it more?
Deek is scare he will end up like the agent they arrested because he too fell in love with a other NCIS agent
And this agent is?
Whoops...back up. I think Michael should have said "Deeks is scare [sic] he will end up the agent they arrested because he too fell in love with SOMEONE HE WORKS WITH." The agent they arrested didn't fall in love with another agent; he fell in love with the wife of the man he was investigating (and ultimately sided with).
Nice review !
Like said in the review, Deeks returning the knife was like he was givin up on them, because he's scared, he's a mess after what happened in Afganistan. I think he's not ready yet to , "take the step" and start a real relationship. Like he said, he doesn't know what to do next, he's lost. But what he said after let see that he's not givin up, he believes in soul mates, he believes in them. Three hearts, three boxes ( probably !) Deeks was always the one to push, he already show her his second heart. Now it's Kensi's turn. For me, with the box opening, it's like she tell him that she let him see her second heart. She acknowledge her feelings for him. Quite a step for Kensi ! "The end of the beginning" it's for me the end of the "There is no thing" period. Now it's a new journey for them
That makes sense - Now basically the ball is in Kensi's court to make the new move.

Best bars in Soho: The essential drinking spots
The best bars in the neighborhood range from sophisticated cocktail parlors to one of only a few brewpubs in the city.
CommentsAdd +
Soho, New York, guide: The best of the neighborhood
Whatever your poison, Soho offers several worthwhile drinking options, including a couple from two of the city's top mixology mavens: Audrey Saunders's seminal cocktail den Pegu Club and Julie Reiner's tropical haven Lani Kai are among the best bars in the neighborhood. Craft-beer aficionados should head to 508 GastroBrewery, where chef-brewer Anderson Sant'anna De Lima pairs proprietary beers and plates. For more ideas, consult our selection of restaurants, cheap eats and nightlife.
RECOMMENDED: Full guide to Soho, New York
The Ear Inn
When it opened in 1830, the historic Ear Inn was popular with colorful characters ambling in from the docks of the Hudson. The basic decor (dark-wood bar, wobbly tables and chairs, lots of retro ephemera) hasn't changed much since, but locals continue to pack the place thanks to its relaxed vibe and historical charm. Free snacks such as fried chicken and sausages can be had weeknights from 4 to 7pm, mitigating any wallet damage wreaked by a few $6 pints of Guinness.
- 326 Spring St, (between Greenwich and Washington Sts), 10013
508 GastroBrewery
- Price band: 2/4
Home-beer-brewing enthusiast Anderson Sant'anna de Lima, owner of 508, has converted his American restaurant into this modern brewpub which pours his creations. Grab a seat at the glass-topped aqua bar and sip a draft IPA or a bottle of Belgian strong ale, all made in stills below the eatery. An eclectic menu—featuring ceviche, short-rib meatballs, and truffled mac and cheese—offsets the booze.
- 508 Greenwich St, (between Canal and Spring Sts)
Lani Kai
Cocktail doyenne Julie Reiner (Flatiron Lounge, Clover Club) channels her Hawaiian roots at this stunning bi-level lounge. The vibe is more Four Seasons than Trader Vic's—lush flora and woven barstools replace the usual tiki statues—but the bar maintains a laid-back attitude. Teas, fresh fruits and syrups, and floral garnishes brighten the more than 25 tropical tipples. The towering Isle of Islay swizzle balanced the smokiness of peated whiskey with breezy notes of citrus
- 525 Broome St, (between Sullivan and Thompson Sts)
Pegu Club
- Critics choice
Thanks to the arrival of other serious mixology dens (PDT, Death & Company), Audrey Saunders's imperial Pegu Club is no longer cutting-edge. But it's still the gold standard for some of the city's finest elixirs. The eponymous house cocktail is a sweet-and-sour blend of gin, bitters, fresh lime juice and orange curaçao; the Earl Grey MarTEAni, a tipsy take on afternoon tea, features Earl Grey–infused gin and lemon juice frothed with egg white. If you want to tweak your
- 77 W Houston St, (between West Broadway and Wooster St)
Puck Fair
- Price band: 2/4
- Critics choice
Although there are 25 different beers on tap and 60 by the bottle at this airy trilevel pub, Guinness is the star: Thanks to the pricey Kilkenny cooling system, the black stuff tastes almost as good as it does on the Emerald Isle. Gaggles of Irish and other Euro expats take their pints at the enormous bar or small wooden tables. Retreat to the slightly quieter downstairs to tuck into pub grub like bangers and mash (available until 4am) in peace.

How To Make A Live Green Smoothie
Posted by: Angela Leeds In: Live Green Smoothie Basics
Live Green Smoothies For Beginners
To help you gauge a good beginner's proportion of greens to fruit, I've included measurements below. But I personally never measure my greens or my fruit when I make Live Green Smoothies. Since we're dealing with fresh produce here, it's hard to standardize measurements. A small very ripe banana will tend to be sweeter than 2 medium un-ripe bananas. "Three leaves of kale" could be tiny or gargantuan, depending upon the bunch you bought.
A good ratio to use when making green smoothies is 60% fruit to 40% greens.
You can use any kind of greens, and it's good over time rotate your choice of greens. But keep it simple. There is no reason for complexity, and in fact the simpler your Live Green Smoothies are, the better your body will be able to digest and absorb the special nutrients that they carry.
A newbie to Live Greenies will generally enjoy them on the sweeter side. But your tastes will adjust after awhile and you'll want less sugar and more greens. There are no hard-and-fast rules, though,only guidelines. Mostly importantly, learn how to make the smoothies that taste good to you so that you'll enjoy drinking them, and drink them often!
After you've blended your smoothie, taste it before you pour it out. Ask yourself the following questions, then add fruit or greens accordingly.
- "Do I want this more sweet, with more fruit?"
- "Do I want this more watery, with less greens?"
- "Do I want this energizing and really clarifying, with more greens?"
- "Do I want this more refreshing, with less fruit?"
A Word About Blenders
When I first started "going raw" and discovered Live Green Smoothies, I had a $20 two-speed "smoothie blender" I picked up at Wal-Mart. I achieved my entire personal transformation using that blender, and I enjoyed drinking all the smoothies that little pipsqueak of a machine churned out.
However, when I later picked up a powerful 3+ HP Blendtec "Total Blender" (revamped and now called "Home", but the same machine), my experience of drinking Live Green Smoothies jacked up as much as my vitality had. I'd never want to go back — the pricier Blendtec was worth every penny. So, if you can afford it, get a Blendtec. If you can't… no worries. Your smoothies will just be a bit "chewier"… but there's no harm in that.
However keep this in mind: there is evidence to show that the 2+HP blenders have the ability to break through the cell wall of the fruit & vedge in your smoothies, making them all that more digestible and their nutrients all the more "bio-available" to your system!
A Word About Preparing Your Greens and Fruit
If you use organic produce and you have a Blendtec, everything is quick and easy: Rinse the produce and throw into the blender whole, except for fruits that have pits or rough external skin. I don't peel or core my apples; I use the stems on my greens; I don't dice anything into small pieces; and I don't make my smoothies in stages ("First blend this, then blend that… and now this.") Everything goes in, the button gets pressed, and presto, in 40 seconds it's done. Maybe I'll add ice at the end, so I'll do a 2nd round. But that's the maximum fussiness I put into my smoothies. I am both busy and lazy, and I have to be hard-pressed and well-persuaded to put needless energy into any of my tasks.
In addition, I use water to create at least a 32 oz finished product, so I don't have to repeatedly jam the fruit & vedge down to get it to blend. There is sufficient liquid in the blender to get the job done quickly and easily.
If you don't use organic produce, I recommend that transitioning over to more organic – besides the pesticide residue you'll decrease in your system, and your contributing to more balanced agriculture, studies have revealed that organic fruit & vedge do indeed have more nutrients. And I've taste-tested many times — organic produce is definitively sweeter, more mineral-rich, and more tender than produce grown using pesticides. As for food preparation, you'll have to be more aware of removing peels and skins, roots and tops. Do what you need to do to make sure the food is clean and safe.
Simple Greens-and-Fruit Combinations For Live Green Smoothie Beginners
Spinach is the green of choice for beginners. It has a strong, tannic flavor when cooked, but when it is raw it has virtually no flavor at all. Instead, it gives a flavor of intense "freshness" when combined with fruit. Parsley is also very refreshing and enjoyable for beginners. I tend to use Parsley far more frequently than Spinach these days because it's much, much cheaper and I've tightened up the purse strings. As you begin to branch out, try other greens: Kale, Arugula, Watercress, Beet Greens, Collards, Dill, Cilantro, even Broccoli. Later you can even experiment with making Live Green Smoothie with sprouts…which make "green smoothies" of all lovely colors — purple, fushcia, orange, and yellow!
In general regarding fruit: choose "sweet" fruits as the basis of your combination. Reserve less-sweet fruits, such as berries, as additions… unless you want an extremely low-sugar, very tart smoothie.
- One of my all-time favorite smoothie combinations is Spinach and Pear. It tastes like "essence of pear"… super-refreshing! Try 2 pears to a handful of spinach.
- Another excellent combination is Parsley and Mango. This makes for a gorgeous spring-green smoothie, and these two flavors really complement each other. One mango should suffice; add a banana or some grapes if you want it sweeter.
- Spinach with Banana & Vanilla is great, especially if you add a bit of ice — it's like a pretty, green, vanilla shake! Use 2 bananas with the spinach, and add either a dash of organic vanilla extract or a 1″ piece of vanilla bean.
- One I make frequently is Grapes with Parsley. It's extremely refreshing, and one that I generally make when I'm less inclined to sip — for example, when I'm taking one to the gym or making a smoothie after an intense workout, or when I'm getting my third blenderful of smoothies in at the end of a busy day. Use the grapes from a nice large bunch!
Basic Live Green Smoothie Recipe for Beginners
- 1 cup (or a good medium-size handful) fresh spinach or parsley
- 2 heaping cups (or two pieces) fresh sweet fruit
- good, pure water to fill blender to 32 oz (or to the point at which it won't explode when you turn it on to MAX)
- 1 cup of ice (optional)
Blend: Put everything in the blender and blend til everything is broken down as good as your blender can manage. In my Blendtec, I have it set to 40 seconds, which is overkill. If you have a weenie-blender, you might want to give it a full minute or more.
Drink: Pour into glass & drink, or into ice-filled water bottles to take with you on-the-go. One blenderful will generally fill two large water bottles with ice, with a bit left over to drink.
Clean up: Rinse with hot water, then tip over to drain & dry. No need to use soap — you haven't used anything that requires soap to break down.
After getting your smoothie feet wet, begin tinkering with these proportions.
- Add a larger handful of greens, between 1 and 2 cups, or more. Try different combinations. Branch out to using kale, arugula, dill, watercress, beet greens, collards, broccoli… or anything else green you can buy in your produce section!
- Add less fruit, or play with fruit combinations.
And then start exploring some of the more adventurous combinations on this site and elsewhere!

MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) - The Environmental Protection Agency is recognizing the Alabama Department of Transportation for changes it has made to reduce pollution.
Federal officials said Thursday they presented the state agency with a leadership award at a meeting of the Southeast Diesel Collaborative in Atlanta.
The state highway department has auctioned older diesel vehicles and replaced them with equipment that meets 2007 and 2010 diesel emission standards.
It also updated more than 310 vehicles with new clean-air equipment.
The federal agency also recognized the state for having a fleet of more than 1,200 alternative vehicles and supporting the development of biofuels in Alabama. And the state is using GPS units in much of its fleet to ensure compliance with a policy against allowing vehicles to idle for long periods of time.

Make your arm cast see-thru with Casttoo
The silver lining to the dark cloud of breaking a bone is obviously the sweet cast you get to wear. It tells the world that you're a badass (or very clumsy, but let's stick with badass). But how can you make casts even cooler? By making them look like an X-ray of your broken bone!
That's just what Casttoos are. You send them in your X-ray, and they'll send you back a waterproof "cast tattoo" that will make it look like you can see right through your cast. So cool it almost makes me want to go break my arm. Almost.

Crews continue to make progress on area roads
(Focus has shifted to secondary routes and subdivisions)
FREDERICKSBURG – VDOT is making progress on area roads with the help of Mother Nature. Major roads are clear and crews have shifted their focus to secondary routes and subdivision streets.
Some roads may still be snow covered because of packed snow and freezing temperatures. These conditions may require the use of a motor grader to break through the frozen surface; however, crews are applying salt, sand and abrasives to provide traction for motorists. Motorists are urged to use caution when traveling in these areas and reminded that even treated roads may re-freeze overnight.
VDOT will continue to work towards its' goal to have all roads passable within 48 hours after the storm ended.
For real time road conditions and traffic information visit www.511Virginia.org or call 511. For more information aboutVDOT snow efforts and to find winter driving tips and other information, visit www.VirginiaDOT.org.
Information in VDOT news releases was accurate at the time the release was published. For the most current information about projects or programs, please visit the project or program Web pages. You may find those by searching by keyword in the search Virginia DOT box above.

Forget houses, John and Cindy McCain have 13 cars to Barack and Michelle Obama's one. McCain would point out that most of the vehicles are in his wife's name, but still, you can't call the other guy an elitist when you sleep with one.
McCain's personal ride, a 2004 Cadillac CTS, is no gas sipper, but it should make Detroit happy because it's made by General Motors. "I've bought American literally all my life and I'm proud," McCain said in the interview with Detroit's WXYZ-TV. But the rest of his fleet is not all-American. There's a 2005 Volkswagen convertible in the garage along with a 2001 Honda sedan. Otherwise, there's a 2007 half-ton Ford pickup truck, which might come in handy on the Sedona ranch; a vintage 1960 Willys Jeep; a 2008 Jeep Wrangler; a 2000 Lincoln; and a 2001 GMC SUV. The McCains also own three 2000 NEV Gem electric vehicles, which are bubble-shaped cars popular in retirement communities.
