Last Of My Summer Tomatoes
My two little plants are looking very weak as if they are telling me, "no more! I have no more strength to give you more."
I shall water her until she has dries up. Thank you dear plant for feeding my stomach with delicious fruit/veggies. Until next time.

Guidance for understanding and communicating about the price of health care.
Guidelines on how to make it easier for consumers to get information about healthcare prices.
So says Lyman Sornberger, executive director of revenue cycle management services for the 11 Cleveland Clinic hospitals and the Physician Practice Plan of Cleveland Clinic Health System.
"Our greatest success is we are making the healthcare experience transparent to the patient," he says. "No matter how complex a health system can be, we are trying to circumvent that-sometimes at a cost to Cleveland Clinic-so the patient doesn't feel challenged to figure it out."
This case study appears in the Leadership special report, Creating Value for Patients for Business Success.
Access the full report.
When it comes to improving patient financial services, Cleveland Clinic's CEO and CFO set the tone, he says. These leaders first ask, "What is the impact on the patient?" Only then do they ask, "What is the upfront and ongoing cost of the improvement?"
That attitude does not reflect unlimited resources. Cost consciousness is as important to Cleveland Clinic as it is to any stand-alone hospital, says Sornberger. Rather, Cleveland Clinic has found that patient satisfaction, word-of-mouth advertising, and a growing patient population-despite a highly competitive marketplace-more than make up for investments in patient-friendly practices.
Furthermore, managing a business office staff that is focused on improving patient satisfaction makes his job easier, says Sornberger. "It's much easier to say, 'I care about my patients,' than 'I care about the almighty dollar.' And at the end of the day, you will get the ROI that you need."
Cleveland Clinic is on its way to eliminating one of patients' most ubiquitous complaints: multiple bills.
"Nothing is worse than an inpatient receiving, on average, six bills from a highly fragmented health system," says Sornberger.
Over the last four years, the system has consolidated billing from its 11 hospitals and 2,800 employed physicians so that inpatients receive a single bill. Some ancillary care services are still billed separately, but they will migrate into the one bill system this year.
"It is a huge endeavor," he says. In addition to the technology challenges of consolidated bills, the initiative required operational changes.
For example, the Clinic created a single database that includes the billing information for all elements of a patient's care. Thus, patients can call a single telephone number to discuss any issue on the bill-whether it is a physician charge or a hospital services charge-without being transferred to the entity that created that component of the bill.
Another simplification: The Clinic has developed a single call center and patient navigation so that scheduling-and keeping-appointments is as easy as possible. "If you need an appointment, regardless of which specialist you need to see, we will handle that for you," says Sornberger.
For example, if a patient is referred to the Heart and Vascular Institute, a navigator will identify the tests that need to be scheduled and coordinate physician appointments and diagnostic appointments on the patient's behalf. Appointments are scheduled according to the patient's preference-all on a single day or spread out over several days.
"Once you arrive on site, we will navigate you as well," he says. Both a clinical navigator and financial representatives are engaged to assist the patient.
Before a patient schedules an appointment, he or she should know what the out-of-pocket expense will be. Indeed, Sornberger says patients should be able to use out-of-pocket cost as a factor in choosing when and where services will be received.
That is why Cleveland Clinic is working on a new type of bill estimator, which is expected to launch this year.
"We are developing this internally because we believe there's nothing in the industry that meets our customer's needs," he says.
Most out-of-pocket estimators are limited in their accuracy because they give estimates that do not reflect the status of the patient's annual deductible. The Clinic's system will incorporate real-time information about the deductible level.
Further, the estimator will show the patient a range of choices within the Cleveland Clinic system and the out-of-pocket consequences associated with each choice.
He believes patients also need to be able to compare Cleveland Clinic to other options. "Then you, as a consumer, can shop around and see if you can find a better rate," he says.
Allowing a patient to know his or her financial responsibility upfront is key to Cleveland Clinic's goal of moving traditional back-end functions of the revenue cycle to the front. Instead of calling patients after the fact to seek payment, the Clinic is contacting patients before they arrive for their services.
This approach allows the money talk to be less assertive and more patient friendly. "We can say, 'Let me talk to you as a financial counselor about your out-of-pocket responsibility and educate you about your options for payment plans, loans, and financial assistance' and not 'I want you to pay,'" he says. "It is a totally different discussion that is needed to support the Cleveland Clinic mission."
To help patients understand medical bills and how to address financial concerns related to them, Cleveland Clinic's patient financial services department has developed a series of patient education programs.
The two-hour sessions, scheduled at the Clinic's community hospitals and health centers throughout the year, cover a variety of topics, from "The Basics of Insurance and Billing" to "About to Retire: Preparing for Medicare." The idea for the educational sessions came from a series of feedback forums conducted in early 2008.
The goals for the education initiative were to reduce incoming calls to Cleveland Clinic's customer service department and to increase patient satisfaction. Sornberger says it is working on both fronts.
The sessions are promoted via community newspapers, flyers, and other traditional means-and by targeting individuals who might need the information. For example, if a patient scheduling a procedure mentions that he or she has lost employer-sponsored insurance, the patient financial services staff member will refer the patient to an upcoming "Lost Your Insurance?" session.
Similarly, patients who are nearing retirement age receive a card inviting them to attend an educational session.
"We all recognize that we have an aging population out there, and health care is confusing," says Sornberger. "From my perspective personally, we have an obligation to our patients to make it less so."

Extraordinary ministers of Holy Communion: "These ministers serve Christ present in the gathered assembly by ministering his Body and Blood to their brothers and sisters" (Introduction to the Order of Mass, ¶21).
Lectors: "In proclaiming the word of God, lectors exercise their responsibility in the liturgical celebration. God speaks to the faithful through them …" (Introduction to the Order of Mass, ¶14).
"[Ushers] exercise their role by welcoming people at the door, providing them with all necessary books and aids, and helping them to find their places" (Introduction to the Order of Mass, ¶23).
The extraordinary ministers of Holy Communion, lectors and ushers contribute to our participation in the many liturgies offered in the Cathedral, most important among them being the Sunday Masses. If you would like to learn more about these liturgical ministries, please contact Fr. Brad Zamora at email@example.com
"To accomplish so great a work, Christ is always present in His Church, especially in her liturgical celebrations. He is present in the sacrifice of the Mass, not only in the person of His minister, 'the same now offering, through the ministry of priests, who formerly offered himself on the cross,' but especially under the Eucharistic species. By His power He is present in the sacraments, so that when a man baptizes it is really Christ Himself who baptizes. He is present in His word, since it is He Himself who speaks when the holy scriptures are read in the Church. He is present, lastly, when the Church prays and sings, for He promised: 'Where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them (Matt. 18:20)."
(Catechism of the Catholic Church ¶1088).
"Rightly, then, the liturgy is considered as an exercise of the priestly office of Jesus Christ. In the liturgy the sanctification of the man is signified by signs perceptible to the senses, and is effected in a way which corresponds with each of these signs; in the liturgy the whole public worship is performed by the Mystical Body of Jesus Christ, that is, by the Head and His members." (Sacrosanctum Concilium (Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy from the Second Vatican Council) 7).
"The celebration of Mass [the Sacred Liturgy], as the action of Christ and the People of God arrayed hierarchically, is the center of the whole Christian life for the Church both universal and local, as well as for each of the faithful individually. In it is found the high point both of the action by which God sanctifies the world in Christ and of the worship that the human race offers to the Father, adoring him through Christ, the Son of God, in the Holy Spirit. In it, moreover, during the course of the year, the mysteries of redemption are recalled so as in some way to be made present. Furthermore, the other sacred actions and all the activities of the Christian life are bound up with it, flow from it, and are ordered to it" (General Instruction on the Roman Missal 16).
"In the liturgy of the New Covenant every liturgical action, especially the celebration of the Eucharist and the sacraments, is an encounter between Christ and the Church. The liturgical assembly derives its unity from the "communion of the Holy Spirit" who gathers the children of God into the one Body of Christ. This assembly transcends racial, cultural, social—indeed, all human affinities" (Catechism of the Catholic Church 1097).
Included in the liturgy of the New Covenant, "'[the] public prayer of the Church,'" is "The mystery of Christ, his Incarnation and Passover, which we celebrate in the Eucharist especially at the Sunday assembly, permeates and transfigures the time of each day, through the celebration of the Liturgy of the Hours, 'the divine office'" (Catechism of the Catholic Church 1174).

Welcome to Korazy, the website for the promotion of the Korazy Koreanimation art exhibition.
So, 'just what is this Korazy thing?' you're probably wondering, right? Well, the Korazy collection is one of only 5 large collections of original Korean animated movie posters anywhere in the world. The collection itself is based in Australia- it's the only collection held outside of South Korea while probably also being larger than the collections held by the Korean museums.
The posters in the Korazy collection tell stories on many levels but it's the bigger underlying story of the development of South Korea itself that is the most important one of all. While we might belly-laugh at the audacity of many of the older knockoffs, please do consider the context instead of casting an overly negative critical eye.
Feel free to wander around and investigate some of the examples from the collection that are displayed here. They might just blow your mind!

God's Mercy in Making Us Face the Impossible
Dear Friend,
God is not content for us just to understand the idea that nothing is too hard for the Lord (Jeremiah 32:17). He wants us to have the overwhelming joy of experiencing it. But the sometimes agonizing period between his promise and his provision can push us to the brink of what we think we can believe, as it did for Abraham and Sarah.
[This imaginative conversation takes place shortly after Genesis 17:22.]
Abram entered the tent, his eyes on the ground, his mind a world away. He was breathing hard. Sarai was repairing a cloak. She watched him as he walked to the back corner and collapsed on the cushions with a sigh. She recognized the bodily weariness of a divine encounter.
"The Lord has spoken to you again, hasn't he?" There was a pause.
"Yes." It usually took Abram a while before he could talk about these encounters, so Sarai pulled her threadwork up close again where she could see it. Another reminder of her aging body. But now her hands were trembling. She dropped them back into her lap. What had the Lord said?
"Ishmael!" The name pierced through Sarai like an arrow. She looked through the open flap and saw Hagar hand her son supplies to carry to the cooking fire. The boy was thirteen and beginning to look like a man. He was his father's delight, the flesh of his flesh. But not of hers. The Lord had promised Abram offspring. But it was a deep, bewildering grief that he had granted it through Hagar, her own maidservant. And it had been her own idea.
"Sarah." She looked over at Abram. What had he just called her? "Yes, I called you Sarah. The Lord has changed your name."
The Lord spoke of her? Her heart sped with a rush of hope-fueled adrenaline.
"He changed my name? What do you mean?"
"You are not merely a princess. You will be the mother of kings."
Sarah just stared. His words didn't register. A childless mother of kings?
"The Lord said, 'I will bless her, and moreover, I will give you a son by her. I will bless her, and she shall become nations; kings of peoples shall come from her'" (Genesis 17:16). "Sarah, God is going to give you a son, and through him, nations."
Sarah's whole being staggered. She steadied herself with her left hand and cupped her mouth with her right. Tears streamed. Grief, hope, and confusion churned inside her. A child? She had tried to bury this desire and she felt fear at resurrecting it. And she was ninety. She hadn't had a feminine cycle for years. How could this possibly…
"I know what you're thinking. I thought the same thing. When God spoke it, it was too much to take in and I said, 'Oh that Ishmael might live before you!'"
The familiar pain shot through Sarah.
"But God said, 'No, but Sarah your wife shall bear you a son, and you shall call his name Isaac.'"
Isaac. Her desire now had a name. Sarah mouthed it but still had no voice.
"Yes. Because the whole idea seemed so ludicrous that I laughed to myself."
"But… I can't… Husband… I'm ninety years old." Sarah began sobbing. "My body is no longer able to bear children. My time has passed."
Abram walked over and enveloped his wife in his arms. "I know, Sarah. We are powerless to have children. Now more than ever. But if we've learned anything these twenty-five years, it's that our hope doesn't rest on our power to do anything. Our hope rests on the Lord's power. Our entire lives are built on what he's promised. And the lives of our descendants must be built on his promises for generations before they ever occupy this land. Their survival will depend on them trusting the Lord's promises and not their own power. Should it really surprise us that the first descendant the Lord gives us is a reminder of this?"
Sarah leaned into her husband.
"And, my precious wife, our Isaac will always remind us, and many after us, that the Lord makes us laugh at the impossible."
"Your faith strengthens mine, Abram."
Sarah looked up at him puzzled again.
"Yes, the Lord changed my name too." Abraham smiled. "A mother of nations needs a father of nations, doesn't she?"
There are times when God orders our circumstances in such a way that from a human standpoint his promises are impossible to fulfill. And if at that point these promises seem almost unbelievable, as they did to Abraham (Genesis 17:17-18) and Sarah (Genesis 18:11-14), what God has exposed are the boundaries of our faith—boundaries he means to expand.
Resting in the promises of God is learned in the crucible of wrestling with unbelief—seasons, sometimes long seasons, when everything hangs on believing that God "gives life to the dead and calls into existence the things that do not exist" (Romans 4:17) and there is no safety net.
If you're in such a season, as difficult as it feels, God is being incredibly kind to you. Because such seasons are when we really learn that nothing is too hard for the Lord (Genesis 18:14). And the joy in God that results makes any agony endured not even worth comparing.
That's why this month's featured sermon is "The Isaac Factor." In it, John Piper examines why God made Abraham and Sarah, and sometimes makes us, hope against hope (Romans 4:18) in his promises. God wants us to believe that it is his word that makes reality firm (Psalm 33:9) and that "if you are not firm in faith, you will not be firm at all" (Isaiah 7:9).
Thank you for supporting Desiring God so wonderfully. Please pray with us as we close out the fiscal year on June 30th for full financial provision and that because we've partnered together, millions more people next year will live with greater joy and faith in the abundant future grace God promises to all who believe.
Abraham and Sarah "grew strong in [their] faith" (Romans 4:20) because God pushed them to believe more than they thought was possible. For the sake of our joy he does the same for you and me.
Desiring with you to grow stronger in unwavering faith,
Jon Bloom

Jerry Buell was reinstated today after getting legal support from Liberty Counsel, a Christian legal firm. onkneesforjesus.blogspot.com

However, the opinions expressed are homophobic, and, to restate the issue that has arisen already, does this affect his professional relationship with his students? I think it would.
Kris: yes - I think that is my biggest concern. His statement that they are not judged and are welcome in his class rings a little hollow. Certainly no scared gay child is likely to see him as someone to confide in - where sympathetic teachers have often played that role. But then he isn't employed to do it either. How his class actually feels to any gay child is a matter we can speculate about, but without being in it, it's hard to say I think. Still - it's reasonable to think that it is unlikely to be a good place for a gay child now.
Rober: there is nothing you have said I can disagree with. But I remain uncomfortable because the consequence here is that a guy, who may well have had a long and good career, is going to have it all end in a blaze of confrontation, potential disgrace, loss of earnings etc.
To be clear: I have a reasonable understanding of what the impact of his views continues to be in the US in particular (never mind elsewhere in places like Eastern Europe where being gay is close to being a capital offence).
But this is a great media story. A good solution here would be for him to have to spend some time with gay people, realise the error of his ways, apologise and then get back to teaching - a job there is every reason to believe his is quite good at. Or at least, from what I've seen, we could charitably make that assumption in the absence of other information.
The way these things work though, is that confrontation will be stirred by preachers, journalists and politicans who have everything to gain by pushing an anti-gay agenda; a teacher, who perhaps like so many teachers, is not that savvy about the media, gets to take full consequence for expression of (horrible) views - but views which he shares with large numbers of others.
For the guy himself, this is an absolute tragedy. For the improvement of gay rights, having him sacked might not be the best answer either as it creates another martyr for them to croon over.
But I can accept that until he recants somewhat publicly, it seems unlikely that he should be in a classroom. It would be great if there were a way to see his bigotry for what it is, and to help him recant.

Sean Paul ranks among 2003's top breakouts
At summer's peak, it seemed like Paul's hip-grinding dancehall hits -- ''Gimme the Light,'' ''Get Busy,'' and ''Like Glue'' -- came installed in every SUV from Manhattan to Mendocino. And if selling more than 2 million copies of his second disc, ''Dutty Rock,'' wasn't enough, Paul's ragga rhymes brought Jamaican swagger to some of the year's biggest R&B/rap hits, like Beyoncé's ''Baby Boy'' and Busta Rhymes' ''Make It Clap (Remix).'' All of which fueled a Kingston-to-Brooklyn crossover not seen since the days of Bob Marley.

Would you work for a hospital as an Independent Contractor? - page 2
If you were able to work for a hospital as an independent contractor and made more money, do you think it would be worth paying your own malpractice insurance, health insurance, self employment taxes (quarterly) and social... Read More
- 1Dec 10, '12 by elkparkI pay for my own malpractice insurance anyway, and encourage every other nurse to do the same; health insurance is a lot more expensive if you're shopping for it as an individual, and there are other benefits provided by many employers that aren't listed above -- e.g., life insurance; dental and/or vision insurance; short- and long-term disability insurance, and some employers still provide some degree of matching funds for retirement savings. The typical nursing compensation "package" is quite a bit more than the actual paychecks we take home. One could always choose to do without the extra insurance, etc., but, if you wanted to be safe and have them, that proposed additional $10-20k/year would get whittled down quite a bit.
- 2Dec 24, '12 by NedRNThat 20 to 35% agency margin I quoted is after all direct traveler costs, including health insurance, housing, per diem, and the employer's share of FICA, unemployment compensation, and workers comp. As far as getting your own insurance, with one pre-existing I am paying less than half of what group health would cost. I know that can't work for everyone, however everyone can COBRA existing insurance for 18 months at the exact same cost as the agency (plus 2%). So that margin is truly extra for the independent traveler.
There is a lot more in the way of benefits - for one, I only am negotiating for one person, me. I don't have to lowball to get the contract and try to squeeze in many more travelers to the same hospital. I usually have the highest bill rate of any agency. When you have a corporation, you can deduct a lot of expenses first dollar - which is far better than itemizing a 1040 as an employee. All my healthcare costs are paid, including mileage to the drugstore for aspirin.
Running your own business takes a certain mindset that is not for everyone. But there is no doubt that it pays more.
- 2Jan 4, '13 by kalevraThe CRNAs at my hospital are all independent contractors. There are 8 that I know of personally. They consider themselves as a small business, something to do with filing paper work that makes an LLC or something. In any case they have to file for taxes quarterly but they all share the same accountant. In any case the CRNAs get to use a lot of those corporate loop holes and end up making more money than if they were a regular employee.
I asked about how complicated filing for taxes must be, and they all told me the accountant handles all that. All they do is turn in paperwork. I wouldn't mind having that level of autonomy. The idea of being my own boss has always intrigued me.

High School Graduation Requirements
To receive a high school diploma, students must fulfill state and district graduation requirements. State-mandated graduation course requirements (the state minimums) follow:
- Three years of English
- Two years of mathematics (including Algebra I)
- Three years of social science (including U.S. history and geography; world history, culture, and geography; one semester of American government; and one semester of economics)
- Two years of science (including biology and physical science)
- Two years of physical education
- One year of foreign language or visual and performing arts
Students who successfully complete Algebra I in middle school must still complete a minimum of two years of mathematics in high school. Recognizing that these 13 years of preparation are state minimum requirements, local school boards often set local graduation requirements that exceed the state-mandated requirements. Beginning in the 2005–06 school year, students must pass the California High School Exit Examination to receive a high school diploma. (Please refer to the Testing section for information on this requirement and two methods of earning a high school diploma or its equivalent: the California High School Proficiency Examination and the General Educational Development test.)

Our children retold the story and created painted picture collages in the style of Eric Carle.
Our very first experience exploring our glue bottles and brushes in preschool.
Collages are a simple way for children to extend their understanding of different concepts that they are exploring or showing an interest in… Collage materials can include any kind of materials you can possibly think of. These children are making what I would consider one of the most basic types of collages using pictures and […]
The kindergarten class enjoyed reading the Leaf Man book by Lois Ehlert and discovering all the different leaf characters in the book. After reading this book, the children followed up the book by creating their own leaf characters. The teacher had some paper leaves that were bright and colorful for the children to choose from […]
Our two and three year olds were focusing on the shape of a circle this week and one of their activities was to make a circle collage! Each of the children were given a round paper plate because of its circular shape to use as the canvas for their circle collage. The teacher had precut […]

Our education department offers a variety of informative and entertaining programs to families, schools, and organizations of all types. We offer them on-site or we'll visit your facility in our Zoomobile with a selection of cool and interesting animals.
From classroom presentations to night prowls, education is wild at the Utica Zoo!

- Loaves are each about 9 inches in diameter
- Pre-baked in Lugo, Galicia
- Crusty, airy loaves of white bread
- Ready in about 10 minutes
- Size - 2 loaves - 1.32 pounds
From the ovens of a bakery in Lugo, Galicia, we're pleased to bring you this amazing bread. Made with the same recipe as our immensely popular Barra Gallega, this bread is shaped into a rustic ring. Rosca Gallega is a culinary treasure from Galicia with its crackly crust and sweet, light interior.
Rosca Gallega is easy to enjoy; in just a few minutes, the tantalizing aroma of freshly baked bread will fill your kitchen. Place this partially baked bread in an oven that is preheated to 375 degrees, and bake for about 10 minutes. Made with a light, yeasty dough, it has an airy interior surrounded by a thin, crisp crust and is perfect for breakfast, lunch or dinner. One of our favorites ways to serve it is sliced and filled with slices of jamón and Manchego cheese for the perfect bocadillo sandwich.
Those of you who have visited Santiago de Compostela will remember eating the extraordinary bread of Galicia. For years we've searched for a Galician bread to carry at La Tienda and we've finally found it! We think this Galician bread stands up well against any we have tasted – and that is saying a lot.
The medieval pilgrimage city of Santiago de Compostela is inspiring in its spirituality and architecture, but is also memorable for its abundance of fresh seafood and vegetables native to the region. You can feast on sizzling platters of locally grown padrón peppers, bubbling cazuelas of Coquille San Jacques from freshly harvested scallops, and pulpo simmering in oil, garlic and smoked paprika. All of these extraordinary dishes are accompanied by bread that is legendary throughout Spain.
Wheat flour, water, salt, yeast, calcium carbonate (a stabilizer), mon and diacetyl tartaric acid esters of glycerides of fatty acids (an emulsifier) and ascorbic acid (as antioxidant). CONTAINS: WHEAT

"This bread is some of the best ever eaten. Most of our twenty guests wanted to know where they could get some. I told them."
Robert Jones - La Grange, KY
"Some loaves were quite a bit smaller than some others? Otherwise, the bread is the closest to French baquettes as possible."
"just as I remembered."
Amparo - Ayestaran, California
"This bread is amazing! We will continue to order it for sure. Este pan es delicioso!"
Tonia P.
"This bread is delicious! Just place it in the oven for 10 minutes and you will have a wonderful loaf of the lightest, airiest, bread. Pairs very well with the olive oil also sold on latienda.com"

The Greatest Disney Wedding Ever
In the summer of 2011 I photographed The Disney Wedding.
Jamie and Chris hired me to photograph their wedding on what they described as having a little themed feel. At the time I knew they were planning a Disney themed wedding, but I had no idea to what extent. About a third of my clients plan weddings that are both creative in setting and look. I really enjoy being a part of these weddings.
On the day of the wedding, we photographed both Jamie and the girls getting ready and Chris with the boys. I was having so much fun photographing all the details and goings on that it still did not hit me what I was involved in or the extent of the theme.
The entire wedding party was awesome. Jamie and Chris are such wonderful people- about as genuine and humble as you can get. Their friends are very close, loyal, and supportive. The bond was really evident between the wedding party and the couple.
While the girls were drinking Mimosas and watching Disney movies, the guys were jamin on guitars and having a party. Shots and Cinnamon rolls is what I remember. Great times at both locations. Some of my favorite candid shots are from this day.
The ceremony was at a park in O'Fallon. It was a lovely setting with the officiant wearing Mickey Mouse ears. My favorite was the father of the Bride dressed as King Neptune. What an awesome family! The weather was perfect for that time of year and I thought the ceremony was just right for the occasion.
The reality of the theme did not hit me until we drove to St Charles for some wedding party pictures. This is a very popular spot for wedding pictures. There must have been at least 10 other weddings there at the time.
While all the other wedding parties looked great, my wedding party looked AMAZING. They stole the show. Other wedding couples wanted pictures taken with Jamie and Chris. We were able to get amazing pictures of the couple and the party here.
Jamie and Chris are a wonderful couple- humble, outgoing, caring, and giving. I am so lucky to have been their photographer.
I typically give my clients 1300+ individually edited images. I've posted about 180 here. I hope you enjoy.
The Knot picked up the story of the Disney themed wedding I photographed.
NBC emailed last night- to interview the couple- pretty interesting ride so far.
More from that amazing day.
