Writing good multiple-choice questions (MCQs) can be difficult. MCQs often contain technical flaws that provide an advantage to "test-wise" examinees, and they sometimes focus on content that is relatively unimportant from a clinical perspective. This item-writing workshop focuses on preparing and reviewing MCQs that assess application of clinical knowledge in patient care situations, rather than just recall of isolated facts.
At the conclusion of the workshop, participants will be able to:
The workshop will be run in an interactive, seminar-style format that also includes small-group activities.

A photo of Stevie Nicks on the set of FX's American Horror Story has hit the web. Nicks has already mentioned that she has agreed to make an appearance on the program. Now, show creator Ryan Murphy has posted a photo featuring Nicks posing before a painting.
Murphy has previously explained the role that the Fleetwood Mac fronter will play:
"It's part of Fiona's ruse in that Fiona is trying to get the true Supreme to reveal herself because she needs to stay alive. So she tells Misty Day that the Supreme gets so many great things in life, like tickets to the Oscars and Met Ball tickets. So she brings Stevie Nicks in as a gift to Misty to prove to her that if she exhibits more power she'll get that and more. Then the other girls come home and see Stevie and Misty singing and it starts them trying to move much quicker to prove that they are the Supreme."
Nicks will appear in episode ten of American Horror Story: Coven.

Overheard in GenForum: Passenger List Inquiry
A: Passenger lists have changed over the years. As the government felt that additional information was necessary, they increased the number of questions asked and the amount of information collected on the passenger lists. Before spending your money you will want to see the difference in questions asked over the years.
You may be able to gain access to the passenger lists in question through another resource at a cheaper price. Many passenger lists have been microfilmed and are available at a number of repositories, one may be near you.
Passenger List Primer
While people have been immigrating to the American Colonies and then the United States since the early 1600s, passenger lists were not recorded in America until 1820. The table outlines the major changes in the information collected on passenger lists since 1820.
Passenger List Changes
Questions Asked
|Bureau of Customs
|passenger's name, age, sex, occupation, nationality
|Dept. of Treasury then Dept. of Commerce then Dept. of Justice
|passenger's name, age, sex, occupation, nationality, marital status, last residence, final destination in US, ever in US before, joining a relative, able to read and write, whether or not has a train ticket to final destination, who paid for passage, amount of money passenger is carrying, if passenger was ever in prison, almshouse, institution for insane, or was a polygamist, status of health
|probably Dept. of Justice
|all questions asked before plus race or ethnicity
|Immigration and Naturalization Service
|all questions asked before plus, personal description (height, complexion, color of hair, color of eyes, identifying marks), and place of birth
|Immigration and Naturalization Service
|all questions asked before plus name and address of closest living relative in native country
As you can see the amount of information recorded on immigrants arriving after 1906 was thorough, allowing you to learn a lot about your immigrant ancestor. This should help you determine if the information is worth the cost. You might be interested to learn, however, that it may be possible to get this information through another source.
Other Resources of Passenger Records
As was mentioned, passenger lists have been microfilmed. These microfilms are available in a number of different places. In addition to the National Archives in Washington, D.C., these microfilms may also be available at your local National Archives branch. Each branch is responsible for a given region of the country. The records held by each branch reflect the states in that region, including passenger lists. You may want to see if your local public or genealogical library has The Archives by Loretto Denis Szucs and Sandra Hargreaves Luebking, this helpful book looks at holdings by record type and repository for the branches of the National Archives.
Many public libraries with large genealogical collections also have microfilmed passenger lists. You may want to ask the genealogical department of your closest library what passenger lists they may have in their collection.
By far, one of the easiest ways to gain access to the passenger lists is through your local Family History Center. Family History Centers (FHCs) are found in local chapels of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. While they are run by LDS members, they are open to the public and I encourage all researchers to find their local FHC. Since these centers can borrow microfilm from the Family History Library in Salt Lake City, this is your connection to the more than 2 million rolls of microfilm from all over the world.
Borrowing films from the Family History Library to your local FHC does have a minimal cost to cover the expense of duplicating and mailing the microfilm to the local FHC. At present that fee is around $3.50 and you are allowed to keep the film at your local FHC for approximately 30 days. You can pay an additional fee to extend that time to an additional 60 days. If you find yourself using the same films over and over, you may want to consider borrowing on indefinite loan. That way, each time you go to your FHC the film is there.
In Conclusion
Some passenger records offer much information for us in our search for an immigrant ancestor. You'll usually find the most information on those immigrants who arrived in the United States after 1905. For those who arrived in the mid-1800s, you may already know everything that the passenger record would tell you.The Complete Idiot's Guide to Online Genealogy, now in its second edition. She is the author of four how-to guides on Family Tree Maker. In late 2001, she wrote The Genealogist's Computer Companion. She is a contributing editor to Biography Magazine with her "Celebrity Roots" column and a contributing writer to The History Channel Magazine.

I'm expecting a **** ton of red thumb for this but, I like Saints Row better.

The thing about it is where GTA tries to be a bit realistic(ish), Saints Row relishes in the insane. It's riotous fun, but GTA has the better driving, shooting, storyline, basically everything but the size of the smile on your face
#28 to #23 - irishpunker (04/29/2013) [-]
I like both, but I find the story more forgettable in Saints Row. I only own Saints Row 2 and 3 and never played the first, but I never remembered the characters or anything. I spent most of my time dicking around. I find I remember the characters and storyline in GTA (particularly in San Andreas) more memorable.

Making the Case For Recession-Proof City and Regional Titles
Despite an advertising downturn, the regional market continues to expand.
While much of the publishing industry grits its teeth in anticipation of a recession and national publishers reign in their print launches, the city and regional market remains hot, thanks to a low barrier to entry and a continued demand for print. The first quarter of 2008 alone has seen a flurry of regional magazine launches.
"Local, local, local—that's the key," says Dan Shannon, publisher of Chapel Hill magazine and Durham, a bi-monthly title with 20,000 circulation set to launch this spring. "Everyone identifies with their own city or town and embraces the media that recognize that fact."
Over the last few years, regionals have trended toward vertical launches—business journals, home/design magazines, luxury titles—that have a more narrow audience and cover smaller geographic regions. "Regionals are going through and will continue to go through their own normal consolidation, albeit for different reasons than national titles," says Kim Mac Leod, president of Regional Media Advisors, an M&A advisory company for the regional market.
"When the economy tightens, as it is doing now, ad dollars become even more focused," says Randy Thompson, co-publisher of Virginia Wine Lover. The quarterly magazine, with an initial circulation of 80,000, was set to launch May 1 with 84 pages—about 30 of which are ad pages. "Regional and niche publications can capitalize on that."
Regionals: An Optimistic Market
While regional magazines may not be recession-proof, a number of new publishers are optimistic that regionals are in a better cycle than their national counterparts. "If you have a strong product that people want and need then you can get through the economic cycles," says Jonathan Weber, publisher and CEO of New West Publishing. After developing NewWest.net in 2005, Weber in February launched New West, a quarterly business and consumer magazine focused on growth and development in the mountain regions of Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Utah, Wyoming, Washington and Oregon.
"We're starting out fairly small, with the first issue at a circulation of 25,000, but we have a good circ strategy which we're confident will get the magazine into the right hands," Weber says. Of the 68 pages in the launch issue, Weber has 35 advertisers over about 20 ad pages.
New publishers are finding also that there's a lower barrier to entry in the regional market. "We feel like our situation is unique in that Alabama is overdue for a smart, articulate lifestyle magazine," says Lee Hurley, co-publisher of Thicket, a bi-monthly lifestyle title with an initial 30,000 circulation, that launched in January.
M&A Remains Strong, Too
Despite the overall economic downturn, the market has seemingly valued regional magazines well. In May 2007, Modern Luxury sold to Clarity Partners for an estimated $250 million. In February 2008, Niche Media purchased DLG Media Holdings, publisher of lifestyle and fashion magazine Philadelphia Style.
According to Chris Shannon, managing director at Berkery Noyes, national media companies will launch more regional products and more mid-size companies will to look to own "families" of regional titles. Mac Leod expects to see a number of regional titles, especially those that have been impacted by the declining housing market, put up for sale over the next year.
"We anticipate that it will be a frothy market in the second half of the year," Mac Leod says. "Also look to see even more buyers and sellers from the newspaper sector active in the regional magazine market."

Show me the money!
The Black vote again taken for granted
By Cloves Campbell
There are less than 100 days until voters throughout the country will cast their votes for the next president of the United States of America as well as U.S. Senate, House and state legislatures.
The campaign war chests for President Barack Obama and presidential hopeful Mitt Romney total almost $3 billion! However, as of this writing, not one dollar has been spent in the Black Press. Once again the Black Press has unfortunately been relegated to an "Oh, by the way" campaign that features one half-page ad placed two weeks before the election in all Black newspapers, totaling a shameful $1.2 million. That is the money placed by the Obama for America Campaign (OFA). The Romney Campaign has committed zero dollars.
To put this all into proper perspective, let me fill you in on the approach National Newspaper Publishers Association (NNPA) took in reference to the ad campaign.
In January of this year, we had conversations with the OFA campaign. At that time, we were told that money was not coming in as expected so they could not talk about advertising in Black newspapers.
In late April, after we were advised that the OFA campaign had only $800 million, we put together a very detailed advertising proposal for $21 million, which included multiple insertions in all NNPA publications from June through November. The plan suggested a campaign that encouraged three phases of action.
The first steps were "Voter Registration — you can't vote if you are not registered."
Second was "Proper ID — What to take to the polls." Understanding that voter suppression laws vary from state to state, it is important that voters know what to take to the polls in order to vote.
The last step is "GOTV — get out the vote." Mobilizing our communities to go to the polls is the key to winning the upcoming election.
Our proposal also included an aggressive digital and social media campaign as well.
Today, once again, we are in the position of being taken for granted. Does Jim Messina know something about Black folks that we don't know? I am beginning to wonder where the Black Folks are that are advising this campaign? Do they not see the money being spent around them?
Are they not asking why there are no Black pollsters, ad agencies, placement, firms or other Black-owned businesses reaping the benefits of the only $3 billion being spent in this campaign season? Show me the money!
At the end of the election, over $3 billion will have been spent. Some people will be very happy. They will not care who wins. To take a quote from the movie "Trading Place," "No matter what happens … Duke and Duke still get their commission!" What are we to do?
Do we stand by and again wait four more years? Let's get moving now! Come on, Roland Martin, Rev. Sharpton, Rev. Jackson, Cliff Kelly, Steve Harvey and Oprah Winfrey. Let's talk about this now. Show me the money!
Cloves Campbell is chairman of the National Newspaper Publishers Association (NNPA)

Marine Animal Encyclopedia
Atlantic Guitarfish Rhinobatos lentiginosus
Atlantic guitarfish are elongated rays with a triangular snout and narrow pectoral fins. Like sharks, these rays use their spineless tails for swimming, while other rays swim by flapping only their pectoral fins. The Atlantic guitarfish has two small dorsal fins set far back near the tip of its tail. Grayish brown with small white spots, it blends in with the sandy seabed, but this ray can be seen in shallow water searching for mollusks and crabs, probing the sand with its snout. Female Atlantic guitarfish are ovoviviparous, giving birth to about six live young.

|Smoking: The Silent Killer
Written By:
Al-Raqas ( YEMEN POST STAFF )
Article Date: February 11, 2008
Smoking has over the years become a prestigious habit for men in Yemen. According to a British Scotch study on smokers in the Muslim world, Yemen recorded the highest number of smokers from all the countries involved in the study. In all, 77% of smokers in Yemen are men, while 23% are women.
Due to the cheap cost of tobacco in Yemen, smokers can obtain one cigarette after another. Smoking has become something that is practiced normally by millions in Yemen, whether in cars, buses, universities or in the streets.
Yemen is facing a crisis when it comes to smoking. Local studies show that Yemeni people smoke about 6 billion cigarettes annually. According to the numbers, they spend about 21.3 YR billion yearly on cigarettes.
Due to its spread, locals have began to feel that it is a normal procedure to smoke in public areas, not looking at the harm it causes to people around them. Ahmad Hussein, a student in the University of Sana'a, faculty of Arts, said: "You can find students inside the university smoking cigarettes not respecting the right of students around them to breath fresh air ." He added that some of his friends interrupt the teacher to have permission to go out for a smoke, and when they go out, they light up a cigarette.
The problem grows in public transportation as male smokers attack the privacy of women and children and smoke openly in public areas and in buses. " if smokers want to smoke they can do so in their houses, not in buses where innocent children and women accompany them in public transportation," says Anisa Saleh Al-Sabahi, a secretary who rides the bus every day to work and back home, as she complains of the rising number of smokers in public transportation. "Because of men smoking inside buses, sometimes I have to get off a bus and find another bus to ride. I pay twice to get home instead of one time," she added.
About 29 percent of smokers in Yemen are youth between the ages 17– 24 years. "I smoke at home because it eases the pains I get from the extensive housework I have to do. My husband has no problem with that," said Shaima Ali, a mother of one child and currently pregnant. However, she mentions that during her pregnancy, her husband is more strict with her smoking and does not buy her cigarettes, nor allow others to give her.
Dr. Sami Al-Jawfi, a surgeon pointed that "Smoking for a long time causes shortage of oxygen in the body calluses and this leads to its weakness, by time this causes difficulties to healing and coalescing the wounds of the body".
A cigarette contains about 4,000 chemical substances, including over 45 substances that cause cancer. After inhaling a cigarette, the smoke that goes out contains the same 4,000 substances to annoy people around and cause them cancer as well.
Nicotine is a main substance in the cigarette that causes addiction, boredom, worrying, and it kills the body calluses by time. About 15% of carbon monoxide (poisonous gas) centralizes in the smoker's blood and causes difficulties in breathing as well. It also causes stomach ulcers. Tar is another poisonous substance in the cigarette that causes the yellowish-brown color in the smokers' teeth and mostly in their lungs. About 70% of tar is accumulated in the lungs, causing serious diseases. There are also arsenic, cyanide, benzene, formaldehyde, methanol, acetylene, ammonia, lead, cadmium, carbon dioxide, chloroform, ethanol, car exhaust, and rat poisons and other substances in the cigarette's contents. Cigarette smoking increases the risk of cancer in other organs as well like larynx cancer, esophageal cancer, oral cancer, stomach cancer, pancreas cancer and colorectal cancer.
According to experts from the World Health Organization WHO, 7 million smokers around the world will die annually by 2020. Sources from (WHO) confirm that about 5 million children in the world are being threatened by early death due to smoking effects. These sources also asserted that 90% of lungs and mouth cancer are caused by smoking.
The government seriously discussed banning smoking in public places; as they started a campaign to make the public more aware of the menaces of smoking. The Health Ministry banned smoking in all its institutions. Sources from the Ministry show that about 650 million people in the world are smokers and half of this number will eventually die because of tobacco. Dr. Abdul Kareem Rase'a, the Health Minister, confirmed that the Ministry is collaborating with the World Health Organization to make intellectual activities in order to enlightening the youth and students of the dangers of smoking.
Anwar Ahmed, a 31 teacher, believes that if women become more familiar with the dangers of smoking, then they will raise their kids aware of these threats and build new generations with no smoking.
Hundreds of thousands of non-smokers die due to inhaling the smoke of the others' cigarettes worldwide. Today, about 5 million people die annually because of smoking in the world, most of them are men. According to researchers, from the total amount of deaths, about 1.69 million die of heart diseases, while 970 thousands die of pulmonary problems, about 850 thousands die of lung cancer also because of smoking. In USA about $110 billion is spent annually to fight smoking and drugs.

Australia Day: January 26
Australia's National Day is celebrated on January 26. It has its beginnings in the anniversary of the arrival of the First Fleet of 11 convict ships from Great Britain, originally called Landing Day or Foundation Day.
Captain Arthur Phillip, the first governor of New South Wales, raised the Union Jack flag at Sydney Cove in 1788, which commemorated the British occupation of the continent's eastern half claimed by Captain James Cook on August 22, 1770.
Continue reading "Australia Day: January 26" »
Australia Day: Do you celebrate?
January 26 marks Australia's national holiday, Australia Day.
Australia Day celebrates the establishment of the first settlement in Port Jackson (which is now Sydney Harbour), in 1788.
What's known as the "First Fleet", consisted of 11 ships that set sail from Great Britain and landed on this day at the Port. By 1808, January 26 was celebrated as "First Landing Day" or "Foundation Day".
In 1818, the Governor of Australia gave all government employees a day off, and in the years that followed, bank employees, and other employees, were also given a holiday day.

The Multiple Marriers
By Steven Thrasher
Rick Brown (as told to Out):
Just listening to PD, I think, Isn't he brilliant? He's just amazing.
What does he mean to me? The real easy answer is that he's company, and that's one of our touchstones. One of the earliest things I introduced him to was the musical Company, which is about relationships -- married relationships. And I told him, 'I can't hear this music without thinking about you. It's how I feel.' He's the man that I live with, and it's our day-to-day life that's important. And because he's PD, it's fascinating. There are always interesting things to do, to talk about. I love just listening to him.
We're an old married couple now. I think we've come to a point, after 18 years of just being together, that it's more than a constant kind of feeling of appreciation. What I've always said is that I'd be lost without him. He's always got this macro point of view that's always right. I'm the details person. I can set up a stereo -- that's one way we really fit together. He's terrible at the details. And so I can be of service, I can help. But he's just got this vision, which is great.
I wasn't raised to have my life have meaning. I wasn't raised to accomplish great things. But getting married, it connects me with the times, it connects me with my partner, it connects me with the movement. It's a very satisfying thing.
It's the personal that becomes the connection -- the connection to the ongoing struggle. Being a part of making a difference. Each time we get married, I think it's a snapshot of our relationship. We do have different vows, and we're at different places each time. I think of when we wrote our vows separately, and we'd both written that we hoped our lives would mean something. And for PD, for anyone who knows him, they'd expect that he'd write that. But for me, it's what I've learned from him. It's that same idea of why we're getting married again and again.

Birth of Spring
Charles White
(American; 1918-1979)
Birth of Spring
Charcoal drawing
Gift of the Childe Hassam Fund of the American Academy of Arts and Letters, New York
A Chicago native, Charles White was born in 1918, the son of working class parents. He participated in the "Chicago Renaissance," a mid-western movement of the 1930s, 40s and 50s that, like the earlier "Harlem Renaissance," was characterized by socially critical, cultural expressions by African Americans. In the late 1940s, White began to devote his attention to the creation of monumental finished drawings in charcoal, wash, and ink. His large drawings often took months to complete, and his imagery focused on the social and spiritual lives of African Americans.
The Birth of Spring was created in 1961, during the early years of the American Civil Rights movement. White did not use models, so the figure represents no specific individual. Instead, the drawing reflects the artist's interest in images that appeal to the viewer's spiritual and social consciousness. The woman's somber face and weathered hands testify to a life of physical and emotional pain, yet she rises out of the darkness into the open space above. Historian Peter Clothier described the figure as an "ancestral presence" removed from time and place, existing somewhere between America and Africa." White published a reproduction of Birth of Spring in a limited edition portfolio entitled Portfolio 10 (distributed in 1961 by Pro-Artis Publishing Company, Los Angeles). All the drawings reproduced in this portfolio represent optimistic images of African Americans. Titles in the series such as the Birth of Spring, Let the Light Enter, Awaken from the Unknowing, and Move on Up a Little Higher reflect the artist's interest in the social progress of black people in America.

Here's how you know that Rocco's on 22nd, the Manhattan eatery in NBC's reality show ''The Restaurant,'' is the real thing: Last month, it got busted by the New York Health Department for six health code violations. According to a citation posted at The Smoking Gun, a July 29 inspection found in the kitchen ''evidence of live flies,'' dishcloths ''soiled with old food particles'' left on countertops, and metal spoons stored in a ''container of greasy, stagnant water.''
Other violations: The dishwashing and food prep areas were missing floor tiles, an employee restroom lacked the required ''self-closing door,'' and the female employee restroom lacked a trash can with a lid. Neither chef Rocco DiSpirito nor manager Laurent Saillard have commented on the report, but they'll be able to do so in court during a hearing on Oct. 22. Hey, it's a good thing the inspectors didn't come during the episode with the kitchen fire.

What's better than skipping breakfast when you are in a rush in the morning? Making
quick and easy delicious Paleo diet smoothies that will keep you energized and balanced.
Many people do not start off their day correctly. Most times breakfast is an after-thought.
The hassle of cooking, cleaning up and then getting yourself out of the door on time can be a challenge. Especially if you want to continue to function normally throughout the morning. The great thing about Paleo diet smoothies is that once you know the foods you can eat on the diet, you know what you can put into your smoothies. Even better, the recipes in the Paleo cookbooks featured on this site provide easy to follow ingredient lists and recipes. So the trip to the grocery store will never be a mystery. Using the tools provided, prepping for the week of Paleo diet smoothies and Paleo meals will be a snap.
Truth be told, smoothies in general make it easy for us to consume the nutrients we need. 5 minutes is all you need in the morning to have a healthy portable breakfast that is not only nourishing but can also help you lose weight. Paleo diet smoothies deliver a diet high in proteins and moderate to low carbohydrates. This will help increase your metabolism because your body needs extra energy to digest proteins. This is also a great way to sneak some vegetables into your kids' diets (that'll be our little secret).
The truth about diets and even the Paleo diet, is that most people fall off and do not continue on because of a lack of guidance. Most dieters do not start their day off right by having a healthy breakfast, they either skip breakfast or have something that leaves them unsatisfied. The best thing about Paleo diet smoothies is how easy they are to make! Literally read the recipe, put in the ingredients, blend, pour, drink… and then tackle the day. Check out the products listed here and give them a shot. They are proven to make things easier and are very straight forward. Best of all the cookbooks and recipes are all in a digital format so you can take all the information with you wherever you go.

AMESBURY, MASS. — An early Nineteenth Century house in Ipswich, Mass., was the source of some 200 objects of historic interest at John McInnis' February 22 sale at the Amesbury gallery. The late owner had purchased the house and its contents in the mid-1960s and had not touched any of it over the years.
The highlight was an 1849 half-plate daguerreotype of five prospectors from Ipswich that sold to a bidder in the gallery speaking on the phone for $33,063. It is headed to a photography collector in Ontario, Canada. The men, teenagers, really, are depicted in a camp where a building is identified as Agawam, the name of Ipswich before 1633. They are Henry Dunnels, Charles Brown, William Cogswell, Frank Baker and Ambrose Ross Perkins, and the image suggests the grim conditions under which the Forty-Niners lived and worked.
Another Ipswich object was the trade sign for E.J. Darling's business, Darling, Photographer, which was conducted in the back of the house from which the material came. It sold for $2,530. Darling's collodion camera and lens on stand sold for $2,185. Six daguerreotypes, including one posthumous example, sold for $1,725.
Probably the most remarkable result in the sale was the $16,100 that a Vermont collector paid for a carved Fish Market sign in blue paint that was painted identically on each side, and signed Browne, a Newburyport painter. The sign attracted bidding from all over the United States. It came from the Ipswich collection, as did a tambourine marked Ipswich Police with numerous signatures on the back that sold for $201.
A lithographed advertising poster by the American Lithographic Company in New York for the Republic Rubber Company's "staggard" tires realized $10,350 from an area collector. Thought to be one of four known examples, it was found rolled up in the attic in Ipswich.
Chinese works of art from a New York City collection gathered in the 1950s and 1960s dominated the saleroom and much went to the Chinese trade in the United States and overseas. The highlight was a 12-panel Chinese hardwood screen, ten of which were each inset with nine famille rose porcelain tiles and two with ten famille rose tiles each, that sold for $34,500. Of the 110 tiles, one was cracked.
A Nineteenth Century 21-inch Chinese porcelain baluster-form vase in powder blue with gilt characters and decorations, and with two green five-clawed dragons on the bottom sold for $14,950, while a pair of famille rose garden seats was also $14,950. A Nineteenth Century Chinese porcelain bottle had a molded decoration of a horse, bees and monkeys and famille verte enameled lotus scrolls, the eight precious emblems and pomegranate. It sold for $13,800.
A famille rose porcelain fish bowl decorated on the outside with two five-clawed dragons, one in scarlet and the other in blue, and with goldfish on the interior sold for $6,900.
White jade is a perennial favorite: A white jade carved foo dog on a rosewood stand brought $16,100, while a white jade snuff bottle with a coral top fetched $10,350.
Three carved cinnabar panels finished at $5,175.
A carved rosewood screen with a carved hardstone panel depicting two lions sold for $4,200, as did a Chinese bronze tortoise box, while a Chinese enameled silver opium box fetched $3,900.
McInnis offered a selection of paintings from area estates that were well received. William Merritt Chase's "Helen," an unframed portrait of his daughter, came from a Salem estate, formerly in New Jersey, and realized $17,250 from a phone bidder. With a good cleaning, it will really glow.
"Modernist Still Life," a gouache by Russian artist Robert Rafailovich Falk, was signed and dated Paris, 1931. From a North Shore collection, it sold on the phone for $11,500.
Three oil on canvas works by the Vienna-born American artist Josef Floch sold. "Coastal Landscape with Boats" depicted sailboats on moorings in a cove and realized $10,350 online; "Woman at Rest" a scene of a reclining woman, was also $10,350, also online. Floch's "Mountain Landscape with Lake" drew $5,175.
Aldro Hibbard's small oil on board snow scene "Vermont Winter" was framed under glass and realized $6,900 from the Internet, and Quebec artist Marc-Aurèle de Foy Suzor Coté's oil on board "Soir, September 1908, Hommage a Mademoiselle B. Cloux, Oak Ridge Virginia" sold on the phone for $4,600.
Newark, N.J.,-born artist Matilda Browne lived next door to artist Thomas Moran, who encouraged the 9-year-old to experiment with paint, brushes and canvas in his studio. By the age of 12, one of her paintings was exhibited at the National Academy of Design. Browne was part of the Old Lyme school, and her oil on panel "Feeding Time" brought $4,600 online.
Nineteenth Century Boston and Appledore Islands' artist Ross Sterling Turner painted the marsh scene "A Calm" in 1887 and exhibited it at the Chicago Exposition and the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. From a Cambridge estate, it sold to a phone bidder for $5,175. "The New Boy" by Victorian artist George Smith was signed and dated 1859 and realized $4,600.
"Composition dans un Cercle, No. 5," an aluminum piece by Alsatian artist Jean Arp, was signed and numbered on the back and was accompanied by the original Lucite stand. Retaining the original gallery labels from the Dominion Gallery in Montreal, it came from a Palm Beach estate and sold online for $6,900. Another sculptural piece was the Lalique figure of two carp, "Deux Poissons," that sold for $1,380. An Austrian cold painted bronze figure by Franz Bergman of a blackamoor wearing a red fez sold for $4,075, and three bronze miniature figures of a dachshund, a Scottish terrier and a rabbit, the latter of which was signed Dubucand (French artist Alfred Dubucand) sold for $1,840.
A ceramic pair of faux bronze mythological figures brought $2,588.
The Nineteenth Century footed box with a classical micromosaic decoration of vines and putti brought $10,063. An Italian paperweight with eight micromosaic sections, each depicting an architectural ruin, sold for $3,420.
Bidding on an assembled collection of signatures of the signers of the Declaration of Independence opened at $10,000 and the lot sold on the phone to a private collector in Florida for $12,650. It was fresh from the Ipswich attic, in as-found condition, and the signatures had been mounted on a piece of cardboard in the Nineteenth Century. John Hancock's was the central signature.
A carousel stander horse was attributed to Dentzel, Stein or Goldstein and had "good bones," retaining the original paint and an untouched surface, with a horsehair tail and one glass eye. It sold online for $4,888.
A small powder horn was carved with geometric and fanciful designs and zoomed from an opening bid of $300 to $6,900. An Inuit cribbage board carved from a tusk realized $1,150, and an Eighteenth Century carved wooden busk went to the phones for $920. A cobalt blue blown whimsy in the form of a top hat in cobalt blue may have been made by the Boston and Sandwich Glass Company. It elicited $1,725 from a phone bidder. A Santa Claus figure from the 1920s holding a silver Christmas tree in the right hand and made of felt, paper and composition was a candy container. It sold on the phone for $2,760.
The boxed collection of Roe family miniatures included an oil on copper image of the Seventeenth Century Andrew Roe, an oil on copper of the Eighteenth Century John Roe, an Eighteenth Century watercolor on ivory of Andrew Roe and another of Phillip Roe and a watercolor on ivory of the Eighteenth to Nineteenth Century John Roe. It went to an absentee bidder overseas for $5,750.
A ten-piece ivory dressing set marked "Tiffany & Co., Union Square" belonged to Boston industrialist Albert Cameron Burrage and was used aboard his 1902 263-foot steam yacht Aztec. Each piece was marked in gold with Burrage's initials and bore the burgee of the New York Yacht Club and the Burrage house flag. It sold for $1,495. A pair of Gorham bronze bookends in the form of steer skulls was copyrighted 1915 and sold for $2,300. Other decorative accessories of interest were a Moser Art Nouveau enameled punch bowl with a silver rim that brought $1,035 and a Moser Art Nouveau pitcher that was $403.
New York maker John Henry Belter's laminated rosewood slipper chair with pierced carved roses, lilies, acorns and acanthus leaves was a rare form and sold for $3,163, and a Victorian walnut and walnut burlwood cylinder secretary bookcase with two glazed doors and an interior with fitted cubbyholes and two inlaid drawers was $2,875. A Nineteenth Century mahogany banquet table was a good value at $1,725.
An Eighteenth Century pine corner cupboard with two glazed doors, some panes of which were original, with square nails and pegged construction, brought $360.
A homespun linsey-woolsey quilted coverlet made around 1780 was accompanied by a note stating that it descended in the Coffin family. Found in an Eighteenth Century blanket chest in the Ipswich house, it brought $3,600.
A Steinway L grand piano from 1924 sold for $7,475.

The Oscar Mayer Brand Lets Gift-Givers "Say It With Bacon"
MADISON, Wis., June 4, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- The Oscar Mayer brand is inspiring wives, girlfriends, mothers, and significant others across the nation to take a stand against ties and other cliche mens' gifts. Instead they now can express their love by giving the guys in their lives what they really want: BACON.

"Before, I was a statistic on Father's Day. Like everyone else, I was showered with ties, coffee mugs and after shave over the years," said Oscar Mayer Senior Marketing Director, Tom Bick. "But really, who wants a tie when you can have bacon? Now Oscar Mayer is doing its part to give men what they really want."So when it is time for a woman to tell her man how she feels, Oscar Mayer invites her to Say It With Bacon and put a smile on his face that can only be evoked by the perfect execution of the Four C's – cut, color, cure and consistency – which transform an ordinary slice of pork belly into a dazzling strip of enduring desire.

The dismantling of private practice means Medicare beneficiaries will pay higher co-pays for services and likely wait longer for tests as they receive care in the outpatient setting rather than at a private practice. It also means higher costs to the Medicare system since many services cost more in the hospital outpatient setting. Read more on the 2010 rule. Find out what's on deck for cardiology in 2011.

Tips for getting things started?Posted by Nacho to ADHD Adults on Nov 18, 2013 at 3:15am | 15 Comments
So yeah, I'm looking for tips on how to start doing things.
I can plan my wholde day in advance, have a list of things to do, and so on, but as soon as I find myself unnable to start one thing, I pretty much can't get anything else started for the rest of the day.
Any and all advice is more than welcome
i plan the essentials only. They are on my Jorte calendar on my phone with alarms set to remind me. Regular things like leaving the house have reminders in my clock alarm on my phone too.
But on the whole i go with the flow within the structure of essentials and start time at work. Im lucky to work in a preschool and i can plan tbe day the way i want.
Usually not all the things i planned hapoen but the kidsstill have a great time and experiences.
I suppose it will depend on you job and what your tryi.g to achieve each day.
I tell myself, "I only have to do it for 15 minutes. If I get into it, I can do it longer." That sometimes gets me started, and once I start, I can keep going.
If I'm sitting down, for instance, at the computer, I tell myself "Just get up and start MOVING. Go brush your teeth, get a drink of water"... ANYthing to just get me up.
Inertia is the enemy - and the friend. "A body at rest tends to stay at rest. A body in motion tends to stay in motion."
I struggle with this every day. Good luck.
I use my calendar on my phone but it I still forget to act on it. I find it difficult to get out of the house. I use all sorts of excuses to avoid or get out of social events. I have really struggled the last 18 months particularly. It seems to have got worse since tthe onset of the menopause. I found my job became too much for me and my GP said I am in deep depression. I too can plan my whole day but it may take till 3.30pm or later to act on it. I don't remember ever having been this bad before. I'm sorry I haven't been able to help with a solution for you. It's difficult to open up at times and your question prompted me to do that so thank you!!! I do not have a diagnosis but my 11 yr son was diagnosed ADHD 18 months ago. I'm not sure what to say to my GP.
We are reward-based creatures so I often make "deals" with myself like, "If I finish the laundry, I can go get (insert favorite treat here)." Sure sometimes it takes longer to get things done, but at least they get DONE! My days used to be spent on the couch with my to-do list rolling around in my head over and over…ultimately accomplishing nothing.
I 100% agree with pnwsuzie about just getting up and moving! Excellent point there.
Unfortunately I was unable to control my symptoms so had to begin medication but it was the BEST decision I had made in my adult life. (Severe ADHD-C for 30+ years) But medications are never a cure-all and management of ADHD takes multiple approaches.
Congratulations @ Angelic for posting Getting a definitive diagnosis is very important. I know how expensive treatment can be unfortunately but going to a licensed therapist is imperative. Sure some people have had success with their GP docs but that's the exception, not the rule.
@Nacho you have made an excellent start for posting here! That takes courage. Hope you find all the help you are looking for!
Here is the thing… There are some things that just need to be done daily. I put those on a short list so that I have a morning and an evening routine. Morning routine gets my day off to a good start and the evening routine finishes off my day and has me somewhat prepred for the next day's start.
I use a planner to keep things visible. My phone is great, but when the screen is black, I don't look at it. The planner can stay open on my table or desk—where I am working and can see it.
I simply show the two entries now for morning and evening routines because I know what needs to be done. Other tasks, errands, and such are listed on the page along with reminders for things that I want to do if I have time in my day.
It took some doing, but I finally got things down to a level that leaves me a few "open" packets of time so that I am not making myself crazy with "things to do" and that goes a long way toward reducing stress.
Do not overload your time with stuff that could be planned over a douple of days or another span of time. Work on large projects just a little each day or week and it gets done.
You are only one person, so remind yourself often of that fact. start slowly building your routines so that they become habit, then add other things to build up your ability to go with your priorities.
You are off to a great start, so let me offer one important piece of advice. We all have had to "start over" numerous times to get to the point where life is moving in a better pattern for us. What other people do can provide idea, but you need to make your own way.
Struggled my whole life and in late 40's finally diagnosed after being sick of walking in circles all day. Found the aluminum foil in frig one day and had absolutely no recollection of putting it there…so I googled "memory issues" and it was bombarded with ADHD information.
Got on Adderall and though its not perfect and I've had my issues with it, it definitely beats the alternative. My marriage, my life have improved SIGNIFICANTLY. My daily thoughts used to be something along the lines of "whatever….he never does what he says"...."that person gets on my last nerve"...."why is this happening to me?"....total negativity and really in my mind, little hope for a happy ending for myself….just going through the motion of getting through the day.
Now I just don't think like that….and even more…I think to myself as I'm cleaning or cooking or piddling around the house…."I am so lucky and so fortunate in my life"...."kids are healthy, husband is doing well, nice home, etc." So, needless to say…..this is well worth the investment we make ink the medication each month (no health ins).
Additionally, my family dr. kept encouraging me to be on an anti-depressant and tried me on several (which was hard for me since I tend to give up too soon) before finding one that I feel actually makes a difference. Its subtle, but I do feel it helps.
Find a dr. that knows and understands the disorder and will work with you.
Thanks for all the comments guys!
I think what pnwsuzie said about just getting up and moving is probably the best way to start anything, even if you have to sit down again in order to do it lol.
@Angelic It makes me happy that my thread helped you open up! We all know how difficult that can be at times, but you can rest assured this is the right place to do it. As you can see, there's lots of people willing to help however they can.
Reading your posts has reminded me that this symptom is ADHD and not just lazy , hopeless me. I guess it would help to remember to take my medication on the days I don't work! Any other suggestions? I know a schedule and structure is what works best, but doing it is another. Sometimes I wish that someone would just come over and say, "let's get going. Do this now, etc."
Oh boy, does that ever sound disturbed.
Wow, this is a great thread! Thanks for bringing up the topic, Nacho.
As for what pnwsuzie said, I've learned something similar, and it's to JUST START. Anything! I get too overwhelmed with all I have to do and freeze. I also have a really hard time prioritizing. A psychologist told me to "just start…anything" and that it doesn't matter if it's not essentially what a "normie" would consider the top priority, at least SOMEthing gets done! I've found that helpful.
Dianne in the Desert made a good point about routine. Someone taught me to schedule certain chores on certain days of the week. That's how I got started on motivating myself and keeping up with household chores, while finally finishing unpacking after moving 7 1/2 years ago! (lol) I schedule laundry on Mondays, cat litterboxes and sweeping the house on Tuesdays and Fridays, taking out trash and straightening around the house on Wednesdays, and dishes on Thursdays. Doing that helped tremendously. After I did that for a couple months I found myself doing other chores in addition to my one chore a day! I was astounded, to say the least! I didn't even realize I was doing productive things until I'd sit down and I'd be like, "Wow! Look at all I've done today! Holy sh*t!" I've been a little out of the loop lately, though, but I'm going to get back on track starting with this simple plan with one chore a day assigned the same day every week.
Jennjenn, that does not sound disturbed at all! There's actually a name for having someone come over and do the things you said…it's called a "body double" and I've done it countless times. I'd have a friend come over, and just them being there would get me motivated and keep me on task (especially since I get sidetracked and distracted a lot, and most of the time it's with the wrong thing, like checking email or whatever). My friend would play on the computer or read a book (some friends even volunteer to help!), but just her being here made me accountable. If I said I was going to take a 5 minute break, she would hold me to it. "Okay, your 5 minutes is up; go back and finish what you were doing." Doing that helped tremendously, especially with chores I found it really difficult to do. I also considered myself lazy, but it's not true…I'm not a lazy person, I just couldn't channel my energy on the right things. Another thing I've done that's similar is meet up with other people online and be "cleaning buddies." We chat for 15 minutes or so and then go do stuff for 15 minutes, come back and chat for 15 minutes, and then back off to work for another 15 minutes (or 20 minutes or whatever time frame you choose).
Hope some of this can help someone!
What a great thread! Lots of helpful ideas…
I just read an article on "How simple mini- habits can change your life" at
It is really about getting things started. It isn't very long and goes into detail about why setting very small "baby-step" goals can get you where you want to go.
I am 39 and was diagnosed a couple of years ago and, once I decided to hold off on meds, I "forgot" to pursue alternative treatments. I have the opportunity to be a full time house wife for the time being and it has become even more glaringly obvious how much I struggle with managing my own time and getting "simple" housework done. I have been seeing an ADD psychologist and he is helping me come up with ideas and tips to help me be more successful. He suggested setting a timer for 45 minutes, working for that time, and then taking a 15 minute break, also timed. He said to start with three cycles of this and then allow myself to do what I want after that. The problem is remembering to do it, and sticking with it. He also said breaking seemingly overwhelming tasks, like cleaning the bedroom, into smaller, more manageable tasks, like just focusing on the dresser, or the floor, or bookshelf, helps the tasks seem less Herculean. It helps. I find, being addicted to television, that having a show I've seen umpteen times on my iPad, in the background, gives me a fun treat while I'm working, without distracting me too much. I sometimes prefer that to the radio because the movement and talking on the screen somehow give me the feeling of having "company" while working on a task that is tedious or challenging. Does that make any sense to anyone? I've also started working out and am on an elimination diet that has, indirectly, helped me feel and act more productive. I think with ADHD there is a lot of trial and error when it comes to finding what works/helps. I get really frustrated with myself and the ADD, because it mikes life a little harder on me, but it helps so much to know I'm not alone. I love this thread and website and am so glad I found it!
This article might help too.
@misshagrid29 Having the TV on for company totally makes sense to me. I actually picked it up from my mother, who has it on while she cooks. I do that too, don't really watch it, but it's nice "company" while cooking
I hyperfocus on everything showing up on my PC screen—news, e-mail, etc. but can't get started on writing projects that are due. I am a published author but did most of it in the office of the magazine where I worked. Now retired, I can't make myself do my own freelance writing.
Diagnosed with ADD (not hyper) several years ago. All my life I have felt "lazy" and not lived up to my potential.
I'm a coach and I work alone at home so I really need to follow my schedule, and before that I owned a marketing firm. I didn't know I had ADHD until 2 years ago, but I knew I had some quirks that made some things difficult for me. When I can't get started on something, I do a few things to trick myself, and for some reason they work for me.
One is to stay put where I am and not DO the thing, but decide that I'll just IMAGINE that I'm doing the thing. I'll go through different scenarios in my head about how I'd do it, and see myself doing it different ways. Usually that gets frustrating for me and makes me want to actually do it, and I have no idea why.
Another is to tell myself that I am not allowed to do the thing. This takes a tremendous weight off of me and makes me feel great. Sooner or later I start to get curious about my project, because I really do like my work. Then I get out the tools needed—maybe I'll open the file and just LOOK at it. Or if it's a writing project, maybe I'll read the parameters and write gibberish—it feels silly and good. If it's a design project, maybe I'll choose random colors. But I know I'm not ALLOWED to start the work. With the pressure off, many times I find myself thinking about the work, and before long, I'm doing it.

Because it's a leap year and in an attempt to inject a little self-discipline into my life and take some more photos I have decided to photograph something that I eat every day this year.
As well as giving me a little project I also hope that this project goes someway to illustrating the diet of a 30 something Englishman in 2012. Because of the nature of my work and with a love of travel I am sure there will be some interesting additions to this project as well as some monotony.
I will try and upload what I am eating at the end of each month so do come back once in a while to see what is fueling The Hungry Cyclist this year.

Porcello, error-prone Tigers lose to Angels 14-8
DETROIT Rick Porcello was done in again by one big inning.
Albert Pujols doubled, singled, scored a run and drove one in - all part of an eight-run fifth for Los Angeles - and the Angels routed the Detroit Tigers 14-8 on Tuesday night.
The Angels have won seven straight against Detroit, by a combined score of 48-17.
Porcello (4-5) gave up seven runs and 10 hits in 4 1-3 innings. The Angels scored nine runs off him in two-thirds of an inning in April. This start looked better at first, but Los Angeles broke through in a big way in the fifth.
"The first time around, just a combination of some freak things," Porcello said. "But tonight, it was me. I was just off."
C.J. Wilson (7-5) allowed five runs and seven hits in five innings for Los Angeles.
Miguel Cabrera hit a two-run homer in the third for the Tigers, but he also made two of Detroit's six errors.
The game was tied at 2 when Pujols hit a one-out double in the fifth. Mark Trumbo followed with a single, and Howie Kendrick's single gave the Angels the lead.
They weren't done. Josh Hamilton's single brought home another run - Torii Hunter's throw might have been in time, but catcher Bryan Holaday couldn't handle it on the bounce - and with runners on second and third, Alberto Callaspo was intentionally walked.
Darin Downs relieved Porcello and promptly allowed all three inherited runners to score. He walked Hank Conger to force in a run, and Erick Aybar's sacrifice fly made it 6-2. J.B. Shuck followed with an RBI single, and a single by Mike Trout brought home another run.
Pujols' RBI single made it 9-2 and chased Downs. Evan Reed came on and immediately made a wild pickoff throw to first for an error, allowing one more run to come home.
"It was just an ugly night for us. Obviously they hit the ball all over the place and we didn't make some plays," Tigers manager Jim Leyland said. "We actually swung the bats halfway decent tonight, but we just played an ugly game. We pitched and played an ugly game."
The Angels snapped a three-game losing streak with their highest-scoring game of the season. It was also the most runs allowed by the Tigers.
Cabrera beat out Trout last year for AL MVP, and each star made his presence felt in the third. Trout drove in the game's first run with a single, and Cabrera answered with an opposite-field homer, his 21st of the year.
Wilson threw seven scoreless innings in his previous start. He wasn't as sharp Tuesday, allowing three runs in the fifth immediately after his teammates had given him a 10-2 lead.
Shuck made it 11-5 with a sacrifice fly in the seventh, scoring Aybar, who had walked, stole second and advanced to third on a throwing error by Holaday.
Los Angeles tacked on three more runs in the eighth on an RBI single by Aybar and a two-run single by Shuck. Cabrera made both his errors that inning.

"Fine! The gloves are off pal! C'mon, lemme see a little wrath! Smite me, O mighty smiter! You're the one who should be fired! The only one around here not doing his job is you! ANSWER ME!!!"Our character has had a bad — really bad — day/episode/life. Things keep going wrong, ranging from a bad day of training to failing to stop The End of the World as We Know It. It seems like nothing can help them short of a great Deus ex Machina, but it's failed to come. They've already kicked in a few doors, punched a few walls, had their fit of Unstoppable Rage, and told everyone to Leave Me Alone. They've been patient and persevering long enough. Now they break down, turn their face to the sky, and unleash all their frustration and anguish at the highest up of the Powers That Be, most easily interpreted as God, demanding an answer. "Is that all you've got? Come on, I can take more! Smite Me, O Mighty Smiter!" Twice as likely to occur along with pouring rain, thunder, and lightning. Sometimes, they get an answer. Sometimes, they'll wish they hadn't. Sometimes, no answer makes for more drama than any answer could. A notable subtrope is when the character involved is implied or explicitly an atheist and they refer to this fact pretty much in the same sentence. A Sister Trope is Religious Russian Roulette, where the character instead threatens to become an atheist unless God/whoever gives them an answer. Indiscriminate by time, culture, religion, and even age demographic. We've all had one of those days. See also Clifftop Caterwauling, Crisis of Faith, Rage Against the Heavens.

Who decides what health services are needed and which are unnecessary? Public health officials investigate the needs of a population in order to bridge health inequities. But there are multiple kinds of needs. During Dr. Anees Pari's lecture on public health, I realized that performing a Health Needs Assessment on a population is quite a complex matter.
When you go to your doctor with a problem, you may find that what you're expecting and what your doctor recommends are different. You may want to take drugs to quickly fix what is wrong, while your physician may recommend lifestyle changes to make a longer lasting health improvement. These represent different needs. Felt need is what you feel like you need, while normative need is what professionals would recommend. Public health officials have a job that tries to match up needs, demand, and supply. Locally, nationally, and globally, this can be a difficult issue to tackle.
In current times, developed countries often give aid to developing countries. For example, outsiders would bring in polio vaccines to Nigeria. Polio is a viral, infectious disease that is nearly eradicated. However, a stigma about the vaccines arose, with leaders claiming that the vaccines actually served to sterilize Nigerian Muslims. In this case, the supply and normative need are present, but the people of Nigeria rejected it. As a result, people end up infected with a disease that most of the world does not have to worry about anymore.

Public health challenges exist locally as well. In Dr. Pari's lecture, we participated in an activity where we acted as public health officials in California counties. Specifically, we discussed how to assess the health needs of recently released prisoners. Not only did we come up with the prisoners' possible needs (eg. mental health care and housing), but we also determined who the stakeholders were. I hadn't thought of some of the stakeholders—lay people from the neighborhood where the prisoners are being released, local businesses that could hire the ex-inmates, and former prisoners were among the stakeholders brought up. Next, we came up with a plan of action that included measures like distributing surveys and getting data from the Census Bureau. We performed this activity in a short amount of time, but I understand now that the public health officials who perform Health Needs Assessments in real life have a daunting task that involves cooperation among many groups of people.
Throughout this class, I've learned details of public health that I hadn't considered before. Public health needs to be addressed at multiple levels of organization – local, national, and global. I can believe how much of a necessity public health is in my own community. I come from a suburban area, San Jose, and attend university at USC, near an urban environment. Even the health needs between these two parts of California can be very different, and need to be assessed carefully in order to bridge the gap between health outcomes, which is why I believe the field of public health is so important. In order to take preventative measures and encourage healthy behavior for entire populations, extensive information, insight, and empathy are needed.

Tom, if you knew him was like an M&M, he had a hard shell but was all soft and sweet inside once you got past his Brooklyn bravado. Most only knew him as a sheet timer but he was much more than that being a talented painter and designer as well.
His last DC work was for Superman/Batman: Public Enemies in 2009. He had also been working on the Ben 10 franchises and Kaijudo series.
When I write my (now too infrequent) animation reviews I try to transcribe a block of the credits and Animation Timing Director has always been one of those. Thus, even though I little nothing about him as a person, the name Thomas McLaughlin was very familiar. RIP Tom.
*This has been described as "probably the least understood job in animation". These are the guys who sit between the storyboard and the full on-animation. It's their job to measure and tweak the pacing of what is in the storyboards so that the animators create the right number of frames for each sequence. They are the people who make sure that gags hit on time and that there is enough screen time to allow for the recorded dialogue.
