Older Americans upbeat about aging, future: survey
NEW YORK (Reuters) - Baby boomers are upbeat about aging and expect the next phase of their lives to be better than the last, but many are concerned about their financial future and long-term health costs, a survey released in Tuesday showed.
Americans are living healthier and longer that ever before. The U.S. Census Bureau predicts boomers will turn 65 at a rate of 10,000 per day for the next decade, making them, along with centenarians, the fastest-growing segment of the population.
More than 75 percent of seniors questioned in the poll on aging are optimistic, think the best is yet to come, and expect to have the same quality of life, or better, during their next decade.
+ACI-The reason they are upbeat is because we have changed our definition of aging. People are working longer. They see people that are older being healthier,+ACI- said Donna Shalala, the president of the University of Miami and a former U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services during the Clinton administration.
Shalala, 71, who will discuss the results of the poll during a panel on successful aging in Miami on Wednesday, said people are buoyed by seeing their relatives living longer.
+ACI-My mother is 100 years old. Why shouldn't I be optimistic?+ACI- she added.
The majority of 2,250 seniors, aged 60 or older, questioned in the telephone survey from the National Council on Aging, medical insurer UnitedHealthcare and the newspaper USA Today said they are confident they will be able to maintain their health and think they manage stress effectively.
Although many seniors feel financially secure, nearly half of low- and middle-income seniors questioned in the poll are not confident they will be able to cover their expenses over the next five to 10 years.
About a third of older Americans do not think they will be able to afford long-term care, according to the poll, and for 1 in 5 seniors, a major financial event would result in a fiscal crisis.
Lower income seniors are also more likely to suffer from chronic illnesses and less likely to exercise. Seventy-two percent of people who make less than +ACQ-30,000 a year said they live with a lingering health problem.
Whether it is out of necessity, a sense of productivity, or the enjoyment of it, about 20 percent of seniors over 65 said they are still working either full- or part-time.
+ACI-The market absolutely threw this generation off,+ACI- Shalala said about the impact of the recession.
And just as many seniors are staying in the workplace longer, the vast majority want to +ACI-age in place,+ACI- or continue to live in their own home for the next decade. It could be a feasible option for most 60 somethings, but less than half of seniors in their 70s said they could live independently.
The poll also showed that a lack of services in the community is a concern for seniors. More than 25 percent of people in their 60s were not confident there would be resources and facilities in their communities to allow them to live independently.
+ACI-With appropriate preventive care and lifestyle changes, growing older doesn't have to mean living with chronic disease and disability,+ACI- said Rhonda Randall, the chief medical officer at United Healthcare +ACY- Retirement.
The poll was conducted between May 10 and June 6. The margin of error for the general population is 3.1 percent.

Northern Kentucky Market Update
April 20, 2012 § Leave a comment
Northern Kentucky home sales have increased for the third straight month compared to 2011. Many neighborhoods have drifted slightly into a sellers market with absorption rates 6 months. All-in-all, the signs are looking better for the future.
Now may be a great time for you to sell and buy the home you've been wanting. While some neighborhoods have seen very little or no decrease in prices other areas or price ranges have seen significant decreases. While your home might only have decrease less than 5% in value, that home you've been dreaming of may be 20%-30% less than it was 5 years ago.
Give us a call and let us help you determine if now is the time for you to make that move.

Checklist – Preparing You Home For The Market
March 22, 2012 § Leave a comment
The spring real estate market is looking better than what we experienced in 2011. Not that the Northern Kentucky market has remarkably bounced back but the signs of stabilization are growing stronger. It is still a highly competitive buyers market in almost every neighborhood in Northern Kentucky. If your considering selling here is my list of "Must Do's" to complete before your home is listed.
1. As inconvenient as it might be you must de-clutter and remove all of your personal pictures and items. You want the buyer to see the rooms as something they could be comfortable in. Too many personal items crowded in a space makes that a challenge for buyers and clutter is a big detraction away from the features of your home.
2. New neutral, good quality rugs. Even if your not normally a "rug" person, rugs are very warm and inviting.
3. Re-painting rooms into neutral colors, if needed. Seriously, neutral colors, not some color combination you liked on HGTV. Your not trying to make a decorating statement here, you want any and every buyer that comes through your door to think " I can live with this".
4. Replacing and updating lighting fixtures. Lighting fixtures can easily become "dated". What was popular 10 years ago is not popular today. For a few hundred dollars lighting fixtures can make all the difference in the world. And, replace any of those "custom" light switch covers while your at it.
5. Make any small repairs (or big ones if needed). This a critical in this real estate market. If roof is missing some shingles you can be sure a buyer will deduct twice as much as a new roof would cost should they decide to make an offer.
6. Purchase matching appliances in the kitchen for a finished look. I've been amazed many times how new appliances influence many buyers.
7. Update major furniture and/or, put several pieces of your furniture into storage.
8. Rearrange furniture to show the rooms to their best advantage. See number 7 above. It may not be comfortable for you to move that lazy-boy to an angle from the TV that you don't care for but remember that your staging for the best overall look of the room.
9. Stage your bathrooms with hand towels and counter-top decor.
10. I didn't say selling was going to be convenient, unless of course your willing to take a few thousand dollars less.

One Tank Trips – Buffalo Trace, Frankfort, KY
March 18, 2012 § Leave a comment
Buffalo Trace Distillery is a distillery located in Frankfort, Kentucky. It has historically been known by several names, including most notably, the George T. Stagg Distillery and the O.F.C. Distillery.[2] Its namesake bourbon brand, Buffalo Trace Kentucky Straight Bourbon whiskey, was introduced in August 1999. The Buffalo Trace Distillery stands as the oldest (not necessarily continuously-operating) distilling site in the United States.[3][unreliable source?] Located on what the company claims was once an ancient buffalo crossing on the banks of the Kentucky River in Franklin County, the distillery is named after the American bison that created paths followed by America's early pioneers. The Sazerac Company, a New Orleans,Louisiana-based producer and importer purchased the distillery in 1992 and is now the parent company of Buffalo Trace Distillery.[4] The distillery is listed on the National Register of Historic Places under its old name, George T. Stagg Distillery.[1] The Buffalo Trace Distillery is home to the world's smallest bonded storage warehouse, Warehouse V. This warehouse only stores a single barrel of whiskey at a time.

The Christmas Tree Lot
December 13, 2011 § Leave a comment
Everyone has a favorite Christmas tree lot. Sometimes it's the guy in the corner of the parking lot with lights strung up with 2×4's. It's been many years but as a kid we used to trek through the hills the weekend before Christmas until we found the perfect tree. I remember one particular year that Mom, or maybe it was Dad, had the brilliant idea that we would dig one up and replant it in the yard in January. I must have been 5 or 6 years old but I clearly remember Dad loading the trunk with shovels, a pick ax, an old tarp and mom filling a thermos with hot chocolate and one with coffee. So Dad and I set out in the 1968 Oldsmobile Delta 88 on a Saturday morning adventure. Of course the frozen soil was has hard as concrete, a natural grown pine tree has extremely deep roots, and a 6 foot tree always turns out to be 10 feet when you have the root ball attached at the bottom. (insert scene from the movie Christmas Vacation here). It was way past dark, a full 6-7 hours after we found the perfect tree when we arrived back at home. Mom was ready to send out a search party and was none to happy until she realized that Dad was way past the point of totally losing his temper. Knowing fully, by this point, that the perfect tree was never going to fit in the living room unless we… yes, you guessed it. We took a saw and cut the roots off. I learned some new words that day that Mom was none to happy about. I think that was our last "live tree". After that adventure it was quite obvious that paying the extra for a tree lot tree, cut or live, was worth every penny.
Those childhood memories were great for reminiscing but we've created new memories at a great little local Christmas tree lot where selecting a tree is easy, the folks are friendly as family and your shouldn't have to worry about your toes being frost bitten. Our favorite Tree lot the Deaton's Nursery and Florist in Independence, Ky, just north of Simon Kenton High School.

Customer Reviews
Overall User Rating: Star GX20IG Dual 10"x 10" Grill Express Grooved Top & Bottom Heavy Duty Panini Grill ( 5.0 stars from 1 review )
We wanted a panini maker that could fit under our existing cabinets. It worked fine. However, we ended up putting it on top of our under counter refrigerator. It takes about 15 minutes to preheat, but works great.

A free weekend, a good pair of shoes, appetite for adventure, love for nature - if you've got all these then plan a trek to Kumaraparvatha, better known as KP among the trekkers. After many futile attempts of planning this trek, we had an impromptu one last weekend. Four of us (Shashank, Tejaswi, Anand and myself) met at KSRTC bus station in Majestic and realized how difficult it is to get a seat without reservation. We finally had to travel to Kushalnagar though our destination was Somvarpet, due to unavailability of seats. The bus finally departed Bangalore at midnight and we arrived as early as 5 in the morning at Kushalnagar.
We had a delicious coffee at the road-side while we waited for the bus to Somvarpet, which came at 5:45 and left to Kushalnagar at 6. It was an hour long journey in which I tried to catch some sleep, but it was again a vain attempt. The roads were too bumpy and curvy which kept tossing me badly. At 7, we alighted the bus in Somvarpet and we had to take another bus to BidhaLLi at 7:15. We quickly devoured idlis at Sharada canteen near the bus stand, bought pickles, onions and water bottles and boarded the bus. The bus was crowded by trekkers like us with backpacks and knapsacks. The entire gang of trekkers alighted at Hegde Mane village.
After walking for about 10 minutes, we encountered a bridge across a small river. We got down to the river and finished all our morning routine and started the actual trek at 9:15. The road keeps ascending all the way till the village Heggade Mane. The landscape in Heggade Mane is beautiful, you get to see farmer plough the land surrounded by verdant mountains all around or a gracious country lady carring her child on her waist. There is a steep ascent after Hegde Mane, which leads to Malleshwara temple. The tarmac ends there and a dusty trail starts. At 10:30, we were at the forest office.
At forest office, we had to enter the details (name, address and contact number) and sign a kinda of indemnity certificate which states that "Forest department is not responsible if u're hunted down by a wild animal", of course in a nicer way and in Kannada. A trekking fee of Rs. 75 and a camping fee of Rs. 40 per person is to be paid. On the back of the receipt, they gave the contact number of the forest department and asked us to call them in case of any problems. They also gave an informative flyer that contained available trekking trails, the fauna of the region, altitude of the mountains and a small map. We thanked them profusely and took leave from them. They've also constructed a hanging bridge just outside the office to cross a small stream.
There are signboards at prominent places indicating the distance to Pushpagiri summit. After few minutes of walk, we came across a waterfall, definitely not a very beautiful one, but it's a good place to relax for a while. We spent about 15 minutes there, had some cookies, took some photographs and continued ahead. The trail is a very pleasant one - lots of small water sources, most trail is well canopied, mildly steep gradient, not too stony unlike the one from Kukke side. We reached the view point by lunch time, we had Jolada rotti with pickle and it was very satisfying to lunch with a beautiful vista of mountains before us.
We continued our journey ahead, the trail started becoming more and more rockier as we ascended. There are two stretches of very steep rocks that we had to scramble up slowly. Though it was not at all difficult to ascend, it tired our calf muscle greatly. Actually these two stretches are the best part of the ascent, a mild adventurous delight for the newbies. The vegetation changes after these two stretches from dense jungle to a sort of taller shrubs. That change only means that you're close to the summit and it's time to just unload your backpack, turnback and have a look at the panoramic view of the landscape. It was breathtaking.
At about half kilometer below from the summit, you see a board that says "Water source". Thats the direction to head to KP and Kukke Subramanya. Since we had emptied already 3 bottles of water and we had a whole night to spend, we thought of replenishing our bottles. We dumped our backpacks, Anand and myself went to refill the bottles while Shashank and Tejaswi stood sentry for our luggage. It was a laborious task of filling the bottle since the stream was very small and I couldn't get some great idea like Bear Grylls to fill our bottle. Though I got an idea of dipping a clean cloth and squeezing it into bottle, but we didn't have a clean enough piece of cloth. We came back and continued to the summit.
By the time we reached the summit of Pushpagiri, it was exactly 3:30, the weather was extremely pleasant with gentle breeze and warm evening sunlight. We pitched the tent in the middle, but then Tejaswi was smart enough to suggest that we pitch it closer to the hedge on the lower part of the mountain. That was definitely a great idea, it was the best lee side on the mountain which was well protected from winds. As I pitched the tent, boys collected firewood for the bonfire. We had two pegs of Black Dog scotch, I also prepared a makeshift bhel-puri sorts (spiced peanuts, avalakki, crispy jolada rotti, pickle, onions, chakli) which was greatly appreciated by the boys.
At about 5, we went for a stroll to explore the mountain. On the west side there is a viewpoint with stunning views of sunset and the surrounding landscape. We went there and relaxed for a while. It was a beautiful day with fleecy artistic cloud patterns, blue sky, red sun - as though we were watching a cinema on an infinitely large screen sitting on a balcony. It was a delight for my camera too, I saw it more through view-finder than my eyes. We walked around the place till sunset after which we returned to our camp area for the Black Dog was waiting for us!!!
We sucked at lighting the bonfire, it took nearly half hour for us to get the flames unfurling brightly. Bhel-puri was repeated, Black Dog was repeated and blabbering started. We kept talking for a long while about marriage, about girls, about Aindrita Ray, about the pretty lady in the green shirt in the other group, her curls, her voice and lots of other unmentionables...until we got bored and took to singing. We sang (in the most cacophonous way) at the top of our voices as though we were the Kishore Kumars and Sonu Nigams and SPBs. At 9:30, we were all terribly exhausted and sleepy, we hit the sac and, it seems, I was snoring in no time while others suffered from cold and space congestion.
Apparently there is a confusion among many about the names of the mountains Pushpagiri? Kumaraparvatha? What I was told was that when we trek from Somvarpet side we first get Pushpagiri (the tallest mountain) and then when you continue towards Kukke you hit KP. Some told me that it's the same mountain, climbers from Kukke side call it KP and the ones from Somvarpet call it Pushpagiri.
Things to carry:
Sleeping bag
Drinking water
Snacks and fruits
A little kerosene would make your life a lot easier
Don't forget your cameras, landscapes are truly breathtaking.
Day 2 to follow soon...

The Colorado Mammoth announced today that Jamie Hanford, Captain and NLL All-Star who formerly played for the New Jersey Storm, has joined the Mammoth squad for the 2003 season in exchange for forward Bobby Horsey and defenseman Chris Standish.
"Jamie is one of the best face-off specialists in the NLL," said Mammoth General Manager Steve Govett. "He is also a strong right-handed defender and a great transition player. We lost our starting face off man in the pre-season so we knew we were going to have to make a move. We were really excited at the opportunity to get a great defensive player and an NLL All-Star in Jamie, at the same time we are disappointed in losing Bobby Horsey, but New Jersey has been pressuring us to trade him since he entered the league last year and we needed a face off specialist."
NJ Storm Captain Jamie Hanford, 6'2", 214 lb right handed defenseman originally from Marin County, California now resides in New York, NY. Hanford went to Loyola College and entered the league with the Philadelphia Wings. He was picked up by New Jersey in the expansion draft and was their only NLL All Star last year. He was also a member of the USA World Cup team, and played club lacrosse for Team Toyota and NYAC. At Loyola, Hanford was voted All-American three years, and in 1998 was voted Best Face-Off Man in NCAA Division One Lacrosse.
Training Camp will run most weekends from November 8 through December 20, 2002. Training camp will be held Friday night at Arapahoe Sports Center at 7300 S. Fraser Street in Englewood, CO. The phone number there is 303-617-3988. Saturday practices will be held at OD Sportscrossing in Fort Collins, Colorado.
The inaugural Colorado Mammoth Lacrosse 2003 season schedule has been released and begins January 3, 2003 against the Toronto Rock at the Pepsi Center. Season ticket packages range from $80 - $240 and can be purchased now at 303-405-1101 or www.coloradomammoth.com.

Maybe her girls are just ugly , ok, I'm sure they're not. I think the boy comment was un-called for, but I'll bet she had no idea what she was saying. I always imagined Sweden as a paradise of egalitarian high thinkers. But, it seems you have some of the same issues with putting girls on a pedestal given the comments you get...I definitely would have noticed that comment and it would have bugged me-- but I have some GD-colored glasses, too! Look, your friend doesn't have boys so maybe she really doesn't know that people out there in the world actually stop us on the street to tell us how beautiful/cute our boys are. I know I get lots of comments like that, although they are slowing down for my older son now that he is no longer a baby. (He is gorgeous, though, and I often think people should be making more comments than they do, LOL). I'm tired too, though not from a night of fun, so I'm probably not making sense...Just know, I empathize. I think we're in the same place with this GD-- trying to figure out why having boys is made to be such a scourge. Just know, you're doing so very well and have basically conquered your demons...maybe it will help you just to see her as unaware and missing out on the joys of boys (which she is).

Here it comes.
Fearless leader is fearless. Fearless leader never projects feelings of anxiety. Fearless leader is fearlessly self-assured. Fearless leader laughs at the face of adversity.
Fearless leader is obviously dangerously detached.
A week ago today, we walked around the shrines and temples of Kyoto, ending our day at Kiyomizu, the oldest temple in Kyoto, dating back some 1225 years. Kiyomizu means 'pure water', referring to the sacred spring that still flows from the hillside upon which the temple grounds are situated.
My Japanese friends taught me a bit of idiomatic Japanese: 'jumping off Kiyomizu'. No, it's not an invitation to suicide, but rather, a leap into the unknown: a love affair, a relocation, a business venture.
Having taken the leap, I find myself in that curious moment when I feel curiously still – becalmed – while the entire world rushes up to meet me at 9.8 meters per second per second. I want to do something – anything – but all I can do is fall.
That's the feeling.
It's not as though I'm racked with doubt. I'm not. Other folks are coming in now to offer their own opinions about the right or wrong steps we've made in the past two weeks (and before). Fair enough. We've certainly learned a lot. We've fed everything we've learned into everything we're doing. I've done nothing but write demos since I got on the flight home from Osaka. Things are looking better.
But there's still this feeling of falling.
On a blog comment yesterday, an anonymous poster (!) thought that our moment had passed, that we'd missed our opportunity to be a successful Kickstarter. My feeling is that we haven't even tried. We're collecting ourselves, getting ready for the push. But there is that doubt, gnawing at me: what if they're right?
The ground is now just 45 days away. Here's hoping we packed the parachute.

TEXAS, AUGUST 11, 2012 – Writer Hollis Thomases (Time Business Viewpoint) posits that you don't want to put the responsibility for your social media brand in the hands of a 23-year-old.
Pardon me. I don't mean to attack the middle-aged crowd or draw huge generalizations. Nor do I believe there are no individuals of "a certain age" that are not capable of running a social media strategy.
So let's take a dive into why you should strongly consider hiring a 23-year old to run your social media.
1. They could bring value to your organization
Shouldn't this be the whole point? Many young candidates are energetic individuals with a broad range of experiences and skills. Today, by the time you are 23, you might have spent upwards of a decade developing your social presence.
2. They have already cultivated a strong social presence individually and practiced brand marketing—their own
Today's young people have years of experience promoting something very dear to themselves — themselves. Facebook debuted in 2004, but Friendster and Myspace predated those by half a decade. Generation Y has watched and participated in the development of social media.
One could say that "a class cannot replace on the job training." Absolutely. Aren't we lucky that the under 23 crowd has had such broad exposure?
3. They have a unique perspective that will enhance your overall team
These people have a vast insight into the customer's mind and the way an end-user utilizes the internet to make buying decisions—seeing that they've done it their whole life.
4. Commitment to audience engagement
Having grown up while the Internet went through its own adolescence, young adults know the irritation of an out-of-date strategy. We cringe at the thought of a self-focused communication strategy that traditional marketers have embraced for decades.
5. Awareness of trends
As a generation that has grown up with a broader and deeper exposure to media than any preceding generation, young adults have an excellent sense of trends.
6. Dedication to excellent results, aka strong work ethic
With a college degree meaning less, generation Y is in an incredibly competitive market. Along with significant unemployment in our own generation—we're aware of how much we stand to gain or lose based on our performance.
7. Representative of a large portion of the marketing base
According to the latest US Census, 34% of the population is under the age of 25. Our perspective, while unique in the work world, will give you a significant advantage when appealing to a broad market base. While there are many who bemoan how youth-centered marketing campaigns are, youngsters still are a target audience to be reckoned with.
8. Understanding how social fits into an integrated marketing strategy
With nearly all traditional media focusing their attention on integration with social, 23-year olds bring a unique perspective. The smartphones that have been attached to their hip (not literally—we're not 40, after all) their whole life play a huge role in most integrated campaigns now.
9. They are hungry for their place in the world
Instead of complacency born of an earned place, young adults are looking to make a name for themselves. They are well aware that this will not be accomplished by resting on their laurels. It shouldn't be a surprise that most tech startups are full of youth. When presented with something they're passionate about, sleeping at the office isn't off the table.
10. Advocate social media strategy internally
Synergy was a buzzword for several decades for a reason; if a team cannot work together to create something more than itself, they are going to fall behind. A company that does not know how to integrate social media into a broader internal plan will in fact fall behind the company that does. With young adults having grown up in a culture that adopted this philosophy in social circles and family, it's no surprise that they're leading the charge internally.
11. Communication skills across media
A 23-year olds communication isn't straight forward.. email, text, IM, phone and in person are just a few. Understanding when to use certain mediums is a vital part of social.
Oh but snap. Remarkably, the qualities outlined above are not actually tied to a candidate's age. Sure, the 23-year-old has the skills, experiences and abilities outlined above, but so might a 53-year-old who loves technology.
The trope of a hapless 40-something bachelor in a dead-end job is recognizable for a reason; age does not create excellence. The pursuit of excellence, the refinement of skills, and a certain degree of natural verve does.
Whether your social media expert is 23 or 53, all that matters is that they have shown that they can develop your brand by engaging prospects and already customers.
But please, don't shoot yourself in the foot by shutting the door on a young face.
And, if none of that made any sense, all I need to say is to go look up most of the entrepreneurs sitting in Silicon Valley. If you don't know who they are, just ask a 12-year-old to "Google it."
The child will probably have a smart phone and be able to quickly accommodate.
And I will l be hiring that child soon.

Emailing folks can be a situation fraught with anxiety. Written exchanges are intrinsically more challenging than verbal; written words do not convey the inflections of speech and facial expressions that are critical to face-to-face communication. So your favorite D-List Monktress is here to drop some knowledge on your n00b asses.
Proper Salutation
If this is your first time emailing an elder monk, always err on the side of caution and use their proper title (e.g. Hello Prof. So & So, Dear Dr. Bigwig). If they later tell you to call them by their first name, obviously you should comply. However, don't make the automatic assumption that because they sign their reply email with their first name that you can become more casual. In the age of the internetz automatic signatures are all the rage, and 99% of their emails will be to their fellow peers, not peons like you. Hence, most will not bother to edit their shit for the 1%. If you can't take the easy way out of addressing a woman as Doctor, Professor, etc do not just assume they are Mrs. That shit's fucking annoying.
Don't be too casual
Just because you've taken a class with a professor for two semesters in a row doesn't make you buddies. Just because you have borrowed Secretary Johnson's stapler every Thursday before orthopedic biomechanics doesn't mean you can email 'hey, can you do this thing by Friday? Thanks Janey!' Asking people to do shit for you in a respectful manner can make things 100x easier than they would be otherwise. And for those of you mewling 'but that's their job, why do I need to kiss their ass?' stfu. I know you've spent several times in your life bitching that someone ordered you around like a peon without so much as a please or thank you, so pay that shit forward.
Write every email for elder monk eyes
Why? You may ask, why can't I jet off a quick email to my boss saying 'yo, collaborator Y's samples ran SUPER AWESOME with my Epicsauce Technique'? Because oftentimes, rather than rewrite your info more eloquently so you don't look like a hippy nerd, your boss or co-worker will forward that shit out to relevant folks with nothing more than an 'FYI' slapped on it. Moral of the story: write every email as if it were going to be forwarded to a Relatively Important Person. Consistently sounding sharp over email makes more of a difference than you'd think.
Figure 1: Some people don't speak fluent LOLCats, mmkay?
Watch yourself when emailing women
Yes, I'm about to put my feminist cape on, QQ moar. Ensure that you are being respectful when emailing a woman, go a step beyond the norm, even. There is something about talking to women that compels some people to think 1) they can be addressed more casually than men and 2) that women's uteruses somehow make them give more shits than men. Pam from True Blood perfectly summarizes my feelings on this phenomenon.
"I don't know what it is about me that makes people think I want to hear their problems. Maybe I smile too much. Maybe I wear too much pink. But please remember I can rip your throat out if I need to."
So try a little harder, if anything you will help balance out the karma of all the other fuckers who order women around like they're Cinderella.
Get to the fucking point
While some folks can be so casual in their emails that you almost expect them to give you a high five and pass a joint, others veer to the other extreme. This can strike especially hard when emailing someone who you think is Science Jesus. You feel compelled to spend three paragraphs describing how awesome they are and how much you love them, and can they please sign your pipetaid that you have enclosed. This is SUPER ANNOYING.
I'm not saying don't be polite, I'm not saying to state your demands and sign off. I'm saying spend, at max, two sentences being polite (one would really be optimal). Then say what the fuck it is you want, nicely, of course. Then make yourself available to answer any of their questions and stfu. Don't write your emails like a fucking grant application, no one has time to figure out where your specific aims are.
Make actionable items clear
Few things are more annoying than getting an email from someone and having no idea at the end of it what is was they actually wanted. This requires re-reading the email, emailing back to ask for clarification, or, most easily, just ignoring it. If you need a copy of their paper, state that clearly. If you need permission to buy something and need to know where to charge it, say that. If you want some of reagent SuperFantastic, request it specifically, don't email 'hi, I was wondering if I could have some reagents from your lab.' No, dumbfuck, because then you might ask for the on that cures cancer and I'm submitting a patent application for that. Oh, you wanted the one that makes mice sneeze, too bad you didn't say that at first, because I've already forgotten about you.
That's what I can think of while I'm on my chocolate break, what say you fellow monks? You know how I love the comments.
FYI, you guys should still be submitting topics for the reader takeover of the Hermitage blog for a MONTH.

Developer to be sued over Clifton tree felling
Published at 01:00, Friday, 30 September 2005
A HOUSING developer that felled dozens of growing trees at the entrance to Clifton Hall grounds is being sued by Defra.
Longtown-based Woodglen chopped down the trees last February. The felling caused uproar in Great Clifton, where villagers had fought to save the site from development.
The planning battle followed an application by Woodglen to build modern houses around the Georgian hall.
Villagers won their battle when the plans were turned down both by the council and at appeal.
One of the arguments was the impact of development on mature trees and the area's red squirrel population.
Limited permission was granted for five homes at the southern end of the site, where consent for some tree felling already existed.
In February it was found that Woodglen had bulldozed an area of trees.
An investigation revealed those with individual preservation orders had not been touched, but villagers fought on to try to bring the matter to court.
Defra launched its inquiry in April looking at whether the developer had, or needed, a special felling licence.
This will now be decided by the courts, with Woodglen Developments and company boss Mike Cotter both the subject of legal action.
The cases were adjourned by West Allerdale magistrates to November 14.

Public Health News Roundup: July 30
Task Force Calls for Regular Lung Cancer Screening for Older, High-risk Patients
New recommendations from the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force call for annual lung cancer screenings for people ages 55-79 who smoked at least a pack of cigarettes a day for 30 years, or the equivalent (e.g., two packs a day for 15 years). Low-dose computed tomography (CT) scans utilize an X-ray machine to take a series of detailed pictures that can help identify smaller tumors earlier, allowing for earlier treatment and improved health outcomes. "Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death in the United States and a devastating diagnosis for more than two hundred thousand people each year," says Task Force chair Virginia Moyer, MD, MPH. "Sadly, nearly 90 percent of people who develop lung cancer die from the disease, in part because it often is not found until it is at an advanced stage. By screening those at high risk, we can find lung cancer at earlier stages when it is more likely to be treatable." Lung cancer kills about 160,000 Americans each year. Read more on tobacco.
Study Links Breastfeeding, Higher Intelligence in Kids
Children who breastfeed score higher on intelligence tests later in life, according to a new study in JAMA Pediatrics. Researchers found that for each month spent breastfeeding there were slightly higher results on the intelligence tests at ages three and seven, though not on tests of motor skills or memory. Mandy Belfort, MD, who led the study at Boston Children's Hospital, said the study accounted for parental intelligence and other home factors and provides parents with one more piece of important information when making a decision on the complex question of whether to breastfeed. "Given the size of the benefit, I think this should be helpful for women who are trying to make decisions about how long to breastfeed… because there are many factors that go into that decision," said Belfort. "You have to weigh that against the time that it takes, maybe the time that it takes away from work and your other family duties." Previous studies have linked breastfeeding to lower risk of ear and stomach infections, as well as eczema. Read more on infant and maternal health.
NCI: 'Cancer' May Need to Be Redefined
The dramatic increase in cancer screenings over the past few decades has resulted in overdiagnosis and overtreatment, in part because of confusion—by both patients and physicians—over which types of cancer are actually lethal and require immediate treatment. As a result, a panel of experts commissioned by the U.S. National Cancer Institute has recommended that the word "cancer" may need to be redefined to differentiate between lethal and indolent cancers. The recommendations were published in the Journal of the American Medical Association. "We're still having trouble convincing people that the things that get found as a consequence of mammography and PSA testing and other screening devices are not always malignancies in the classical sense that will kill you," said Harold Varmus, MD, director of the National Cancer Institute, to The New York Times. "Just as the general public is catching up to this idea, there are scientists who are catching up, too." Over the past several years the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force has also called for an end to regular mammography screening for women under 50, as well as the widespread use of PSA tests to identify prostate cancer.

Rondo was clearly the Celtics best player in the playoffs. It's not even close. KG was their most necessary player because he was our only real quality Big.
Like or Dislike: 0 0
When Rondo's contract comes up, he will NOT get DWill numbers, for one reason: Rondo is a guy who WANTS great players around him and is willing to sacrifice for that. He loves the game.
About Jeff Green: I hate The Trade, but I don't hate Green. Apparently Ainge loves the guy, and we know that Ainge really does have an eye for talent. Got to have some faith that this is the right place for Green's talent to unfold, especially after a full training camp with Rondo.

Ok, I guess the time has finally arrived..I need the names of some really good Heart healthy cookbooks. My Cardio says I should stay away from red meat (does that include pork? I forgot to ask him) I've been fixing alot of chicken and fish which DH gets tired of pretty quickly. So I do frequently fix him a steak. It's sometimes hard to enjoy my chicken or fish when he's sitting there with a nice, big, juicy steak.... lol. But I know it's not good for me. Can anyone suggest cookbooks that have easy, tasty recipes for chicken and fish?

Went hiking in Blue Sky Reserve the other day. This is the second time. First time I went it was cooler and I took the path out of the reserve towards Lake Poway. This time it was hot and we ALMOST made it up to Ramona lake, but we were running low on water and had to turn back. The reserve is beautiful and an easy walk. The path to Poway lake is more difficult than going through the reserve, but not as steep as the way to Ramona lake. If you go, definitely bring a lot of water. There's no water there to refill a bottle and once you start heading out of the reserve toward either of the lakes there's very little shade. But it's a beautiful walk and great exercise. Does anyone else spend time in Blue Sky reserve? Any suggestions for other beautiful hikes?
Hey, tweesparkle...
Poway's cutest girl, by which I mean my roommate's 6 year old daughter, loves to hike "the scary path" up to Twin Peaks.
To start go over by the hospital and find a street call Larchmont. Drive all the way to the dead end and park there in front of the houses.
It is about 25 minutes to the top on well maintained trails that see little use but lots of wild life.
At the 360 vista at the top, you will look down on some of the most exclusive houses in Poway.
But, don't forget to look for Cortez gold that awaits a lucky finder!! hehe. True story!
Oh, you can also go about 1/2 way up and stay to your right. The trail will descend into Silver Set Park. Some people start at the park, but it isn't nearly as much fun.
Suzie went to Lake Hodges yesterday and loved it. Have you tried there?
Went on a quest for yard sales...came back confused. Are they just not a thing anymore??
Mother's day!! I spotted only one on Amso, over by the hospital. Usually there are two or three in that area every weekend.
Where do you usually look?
Try trolling Community road on a Saturday morning.
I noticed that people like to keep the city owned lemon orchard (on Adobe Ridge Rd.) a secret. Real estate brokers like to use it as a selling point, though. I was once a victim of lemon theft by a landlord's agents in another part of the county. Makes you wonder.
ugh. am i the only poway person who is really bummed out about the Wal-Mart mega-uber-giant expansion? i really love our little businesses. the hippie in me is wanting to protest, but i know everyone is going to shop there. what can we do to save our small businesses?
They're building a Wal-Mart here in Escondido too. I don't think you can do anything except continue to buy from as many small businesses as you can instead of them.
I'd move to Poway if I could afford it. I used to enjoy taking the buses there before my accident. Buses and walkers don't go together very well.
Horses and terrible traffic, only in Poway!
Has anyone else seen those guys in the field off off Garden Road flying those remote control airplanes?! I stand in my back yard and watch them fly those things around for hours. They are fun to watch but I want to ask if I can have a turn.

SOMEBODY mentioned KFC yesterday and it stuck in my head all day.... so, I bought an 8 piece dinner with mashed potatoes, gravy, biscuits & cole slaw. I also bought a Chicken Pot Pie for my hubby to take in his lunch today... they were on sale for $3.99.
The basement guys have been there each night checking on the drying and last night we also had the laundry tub pump guy there fixing it... he was waiting in the driveway when I got home.... the basement guys had locked the front door after they checked downstairs even though we had left it open for the laundry pump guy!
Anyway.... i did not want to cook with all that going on... i hate when workers are at the house because I do not feel comfortable and I feel like I cannot do what I would normally do.... like go change my clothes the minute I walk in the house and sit around braless in my nightgown! LOL

P and I had a day out together today. We went to Lowe's Wal-Mart, K-Mat, Gabriel Brothers and Red Lobster for dinner. I don't do sea food, so I had Chicken with Portabello wine sauce. It was sooooooo yummy!!! Mashed potatoes and the biscuits they serve and salad.

I love tortilla soup!
I want comfort food. Chicken and stuffing casserole or something like that. But it is 78 degrees outside today (yes, in February), so it might just be a big bowl of salad with chicken strips on top and ranch dressing.

I hope Nemo misses you, Sandy.
Thursdays are always rough for me. Softball right after school, pick up from softball at 6:00. DS has basketball practice so the ex can't help with her softball run. I have to be back here for overtime at 7:00. And that's why almost every Thursday is CP soup day. Tortilla Soup is in the Crock now.

Recent editorials from North Carolina newspapers:
Dec. 10
News and Record, Greensboro, on Partisan lawsuit:
Gov. Pat McCrory ran off to Texas last week to join its Republican attorney general in a lawsuit against the federal government over immigration. He left North Carolina's attorney general behind.
Texas AG Greg Abbott is a lawsuit animal. "I go into the office, I sue the federal government, and I go home," he once quipped to a Tea Party group.
He was only half-kidding. As attorney general, he's filed more than 30 lawsuits against the federal government. Most of the suits challenge actions by the Environmental Protection Agency. Other targets include the Dodd-Frank Act, fishing rules, abortion funding and, of course, Obamacare.
The latest suit claims Obama's executive order granting temporary legal status to some illegal immigrants, if they register and agree to pay taxes, is unconstitutional because it fails to carry out laws passed by Congress.
Governors or attorneys general from 17 states joined Abbott's suit. McCrory, a Republican, was one of those governors, but he didn't ask N.C. Attorney General Roy Cooper to go along — or even let him know. Cooper is a Democrat..
However, when asked later by Republican Lt. Gov. Dan Forest to participate, Cooper declined, expressing concern "that a partisan lawsuit adds to the divisiveness that has prevented meaningful immigration reform in the first place." He's right ...
A better course for McCrory would be to urge North Carolina's Republican congressional delegation to pass a comprehensive immigration reform bill, as employer groups such as the U.S. Chamber of Commerce support. Even in the unlikely event a lawsuit were successful, the problem would still exist.
North Carolina's governor should contribute to a solution, not more obstruction.
Dec. 10
Fayetteville (North Carolina) Observer on the 18th Airborne:
They boarded the plane Monday afternoon and said goodbye to the country where some of them had worked on and off since 2002.
As many of them told Observer military editor Drew Brooks who traveled with them, the country that U.S. troops from Fort Bragg left behind this week does not resemble the place they knew just a few years ago.
In the words of Gen. John F. Campbell, commanding general of the International Security Assistance Force and the top NATO commander in Afghanistan, their work constituted "a lynchpin of our success and a hub around which our campaign has turned."
The Afghans have conducted two national elections and seen a peaceful transfer of power.
As the troops return home, they are confident that their security measures bought the Afghan people the time they needed. It was well-used with many lessons learned and new responsibilities accepted.
"The big difference obviously is the Afghans and what they've done since then," said Col. Tim Watson, as he reflected on the difference from 12 years ago. "It's really great to see progress and see the Afghans largely leading everything."
The 18th Airborne Corps led the way in Afghanistan as the first three-star command there in 2002. It now departs as remaining U.S. forces take on an advisory role. In between many units from Fort Bragg contributed to the effort.
"The mission has certainly been complex, difficult and dangerous," said Lt. Gen. Joseph Anderson, who is commander of the corps and Fort Bragg. "This country is safer and more prosperous than before."
As they leave one country, they return to another, their own.
There's no shortage of pride in Fort Bragg and Fayetteville for what all of our troops have done in Afghanistan ...
Dec. 9
News and Observer, Raleigh, North Carolina, on the CIA:
Since the terror attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, the United States has not been hit again. But the United States — both the nation and the ideal it represents — has been hurt time and again. There's the damage of the protracted and increasingly pointless war in Afghanistan, the unprovoked invasion of Iraq, the disgraceful treatment of prisoners at Abu Ghraib, the endless confinement without trial of inmates at Guantanamo and the NSA's monitoring of Americans.
But of all that was done in the name of protecting the nation, the most damaging was something that the government would not admit: the extent and the details of the brutal and often illegal torture imposed by the CIA and its contractors on 39 of 119 detainees thought to have knowledge of terrorist activities and plans.
Now we know. A summary released Tuesday of a Senate Intelligence Committee report said the CIA's treatment of terrorism suspects was more painfully grotesque than previously admitted. Some detainees were deprived of sleep for up to 180 hours, were subjected to near drowning by water boarding, were given medically unnecessary "rectal hydration" or "rectal feeding," endured forced nudity and sexual threats and were shackled in pitch-black cells as loud noise and music blared. And, the Senate report suggests, these methods carried out in secret prisons abroad produced little information of value despite the claims of CIA officials and former Vice President Dick Cheney. Furthermore, the CIA itself determined that at least 26 detainees were wrongfully held ...
As terrible as the disclosures are, the release of the summary of the 6,000-page report despite resistance by the CIA and members of the George W. Bush administration is a positive and reassuring event. If some deserted American values in the name of security, the democratic system was responsive to the nation's conscience. What happened shamed the nation. That it has been revealed by the U.S. Senate is a vindication that the United States is a nation of laws, committed to justice and willing to admit and learn from those times when it acts contrary to its history and its ideals ...
What's needed now is to codify in law President Obama's 2009 executive order banning torture. There should also be a searching review of the CIA's mission. The agency is supposed to gather intelligence, but it has become increasingly militarized and unaccountable, a force that seems to create more risks than it detects. The prospect of such a review, however, appears remote with Republicans taking control of the Senate in January. North Carolina's Republican Sen. Richard Burr, who will serve as chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, said recently, "I personally don't believe that anything that goes on in the intelligence committee should ever be discussed publicly."
We hope the response to the report made public at last by the committee's outgoing chairman, Sen. Dianne Feinstein, will persuade Burr to take a more open approach to ensuring that the spy agency's behavior does not violate the values of the nation it serves. As Feinstein said in the report's introduction, "The major lesson of this report is that regardless of the pressures and the need to act, the intelligence community's actions must always reflect who we are as a nation, and adhere to our laws and standards."

A few weeks ago, our beloved cat, Greys, died. It was a horrible time – my husband and son were camping with my son's Scout troop when Greys, who had kidney failure, became very ill.
I was heartsick when it became clear that Greys' time was up. I had to make The Decision alone, and I was with him until the end.
When my husband let my son know, my son texted me, asking if I was OK.
"Not really," I responded.
Soon after, I got another text: "We're coming home."
I found out later that my teenager, while at the camp, said to my husband, "Why are we still here? Mom just had to do a terrible thing by herself and we need to be with her."
He was right. They came home and we were able to grieve the loss of our special kitty as a family.Read more
At the start of the school year, my son wanted to be a safety patrol, but he didn't make the cut.
Our fifth-grader was very upset. I wanted make him feel better, to take the pain away. But I knew I had to let him experience his first big disappointment. Rejection is a normal part of life, and parents have to let their children experience it and not interfere.
At the time, I suggested he try to get more information about why he wasn't picked. Ask his teachers what he could have done better. He did and then told his teachers he was going to try harder so he might be picked in the future. He was told he might have another shot later in the year.
Well, on Monday, he got that shot.
His teacher sent me an e-mail about his reading score, which was greatly improving, and I noticed she had attached a photo.
There was my boy, standing in his grey shirt, black skinny jeans, blue-laced shoes and a bright yellow patrol belt. I showed off his picture at work and didn't even realize what I was seeing...Read more
Instead of embarrassing my son, who has now reached puberty, I am going to own up to something you might not know about me.
I am just not that into the holidays.
As a mother of a young boy, I realize this must simply sound awful.
No, I am not depressed. And I don't have anything against the holidays.
I'm just not a mom who does advent calendars and activities, puts up Christmas lights, beautifully wraps presents (I might be the worst present-wrapper ever), bakes cookies for exchanges and starts shopping months ahead. For several years, I didn't even send out Christmas cards (it's OK to gasp). One year, I sent everyone an e-card, but it was not personalized. I think the only time I did one of those ten-paragraph update cards with how and what everyone in the family was doing was for my son's first Christmas.
Obviously, it just didn't stick.
By nature, I'm just a last-minute, cash- or gift-card giver, and sometimes I don't even do that. But if I see someone in person I will probably...Read more
Tonight "A Charlie Brown Christmas" is on, and that makes me happy. I've already checked the time and station (8:30 p.m. on ABC), even if these days one is hardly beholden to traditional TV broadcasts to watch a favorite show. Because there is something about watching Charlie Brown when it airs that seems to usher in the holiday season just perfectly.
Thinking about watching it years ago with my brother while sitting on a shaggy rug makes me think sweetly of Christmas time at home with my Mom. And getting to share the show with my own kids for the last decade and a half has been a whole other kind of sweet.
It's the sort of show you want your kids to watch this time of year since it's a reminder about the real "meaning of Christmas" and a playful swipe at the season's commercial, spending craziness. And who doesn't love that little tree?
Plenty of others must agree, since the show still attracts millions of viewers each year. And this will be the 50th airing of "A Charlie Brown...Read more
In late September, my Dad announced he was searching for a house for the 2015 edition of our annual, extended-family "beach week" vacation. By mid-October, he'd snagged a place. His early planning, he conceded, seemed crazy. But we would be a larger group than usual, so he figured the right-size house might be harder to find, making early-searching worthwhile.
Besides, he's retired (meaning he has time to indulge in super-organized planning). Me? No.
So I read my Dad's "I was able to reserve this house" email with real delight -- but had a very different take when not long after I got "save the date" and "early bird registration" notices from my kids' summer camps.
Then my reactions were: Are you kidding me? Really? You're sending this to me? No.
Registration for one camp apparently opened yesterday -- yup, three days before Thanksgiving and the dawn of all holiday craziness.
Don't get me wrong: I love this camp, and my kid loves this camp, and we have every intention of sending him...Read more
"Mom, my voice is changing," my son said in the car this morning. "It sounds cool."
Yes, it is. So is a whole lot more about him.
My 12-year-old has reached puberty, and gone is my little boy.
He's now almost as tall as me, 5'4, but he assures me he will still listen to me when he's taller. It won't be long before that happens. He's grown several inches in a year. We still do the door-measure.
He also has questions and even concerns about some things happening to his body. Some of them he asks me; others I prompty tell him to go ask dad. We both try our best to explain that these changes -- armpit hair, acne, voice changing and more -- are completely normal. He's just on his way to becoming a man.
It's bittersweet, and not just because I have to check with him before I write anything these days for this blog. What you're not hearing, by the way, is is some of my best material.
But, his privacy is what is most important these days.
And my editor warned me that when he got older he...Read more

Age of the Flapper: Art Deco Snake Bangle
SOLDItem 11981
This Art Deco snake bangle was made in such a sensuous and exciting manner that only the inimitable Roaring Twenties attitude of flappers and jazz music could bring to fruition.
Long and slinky, sybaritic coils of silver are self-indulgently lithely entwined around the arm. With wondrous details of serpent eyes, nose and jaw line, and the hiss can almost be heard as twist after twist of the snake patterned silver body embraces the arm. The bracelet must be wound around the arm; typically it does not slide off over the wrist and hand.
Measurements: 5/16 of an inch (0.9 cm) at the head in width and the body is just shy of 1/4 inch (0.5 cm) wide. This will fit a wrist of up to 7-1/4 inches—depending on size of arm may slightly compress or extend out as shown in our photographs.
Condition: Excellent
Date: 1920s
Overall Scale: Thin but very long

Senior robbed at TD Canada Trust, suspect sought by cops
Police are hoping the public will help them identify a robbery suspect who allegedly robbed a senior citizen at the TD Canada Trust outled at 6380 No. 3 Rd. late last month.
Richmond RCMP Cpl. Sherrdean Turley said the 76-year-old male victim had just withdrawn money from the ATM banking machine on May 29, and had secured his cash in a shoulder bang, when a male approached him from behind as he was exiting.
The victim said the suspect grabbed his shoulder bag and pushed him to the ground before fleeing on foot.
But Richmond Mounties now have images of the suspect, who was captured in surveillance video that's now been released to the public.
The suspect is described as about five feet eight inches tall, between 20 and 30 years old, with short black hair and was wearing a black-and-red ball cap, a dark-coloured hoodie and shorts.
Anyone with information about the robbery or the suspect is asked to call Richmond RCMP Const. Perera at 604-278-1212.
Those who wish to remain anonymous can call 1-800-222-8477.

The U.S. Department of Transportation has established a National Freight Advisory Committee to provide recommendations aimed at improving the national freight transportation system.
The recent transportation bill, Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century, or MAP-21, signed by President Obama in July 2012, established a national freight policy and called for the creation of a National Freight Strategic Plan.
The freight stakeholder group will work with DOT's internal Freight Policy Council and will provide legislative suggestions on implementation of the freight transportation requirements of MAP-21.
The committee will comprise 25 members, representing various modes of freight transportation, regions of the country and areas of freight policy expertise. The DOT is soliciting nominations for members of the committee. Instructions on how to do so will be available in the Federal Register.

If you're also into visual arts and illustration, you will definitely be in awe at the beautiful watercolor pieces of a South Korean artist. Step right up and flip through a gallery featuring some of her impressive works after the jump!
I have always believed that watercolor can be a bit of a difficult painting method to master. But, looking at the works of South Korean graphic designer and illustrator Sunga Park, I am also now convinced that acquiring the control it requires certainly produces impressive results. From conceptual artworks, portraits, architecture, everyday scenes, and travel sketches, this artist has nailed it with her calculated brush strokes and delicate hues.
For someone totally new to this craft, working to reach such skill level and mastery can be a daunting endeavor, yet the rewards are certainly tempting, don't you think?
Visit Sunga Park's Behance Site to see more of her impressive watercolor art!

Why Kirsten Dunst is on the new A list
WHY SHE'S A-LIST Though ''Spider-Man'''s teen dream Mary Jane is a veteran actress with three dozen movies on her résumé, starring in the biggest hit of 2002 gave Dunst extra cred. That upside-down kiss is now seared into the brainpans of moviegoers and Sony executives, who upped her price for the sequel to a reported $8 million.
WHAT'S NEXT Expect both quirky indie fare (''Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind,'' from a script by ''Adaptation'' mindbender Charlie Kaufman, currently in production) and glossy studio movies (Sony's drama ''Mona Lisa Smile,'' with Julia Roberts, due Nov. 21). ''Levity,'' with Billy Bob Thornton, premieres at January's Sundance Film Festival, with an eye toward a spring release; production of 2004's ''The Amazing Spider-Man'' begins in February.
