agement practices to establish the organization as a "learning organization." Evidence shows that these practices are not employed in many nursing work environments.
In particular, many hospital restructuring and redesign initiatives1 that have been widely adopted over the last two decades have changed the ways in which licensed nurses and nurse assistants are organized to provide patient care. Many of these changes have been focused largely on increasing efficiency and have been undertaken in ways that have damaged trust between nursing staff and management. Changes often have been poorly managed so that intended results have not been achieved, infrequently have involved nurses in decision making pertaining to the redesign of their work, and have not employed practices that encourage the uptake and dissemination of knowledge throughout the organization. The committee found, for example, that:
Loss of trust in hospital administration is widespread among nursing staff (Decker et al., 2001; Ingersoll et al., 2001; Kramer and Schmalenberg, 1993). This loss of trust stems in part from a perception that initiatives in patient care and nursing work redesign have emphasized efficiency over patient safety. Poor communication practices have also led to mistrust (Walston and Kimberly, 1997). This loss of trust has serious implications for the ability of hospitals and other HCOs to make the fundamental changes essential to providing safer patient care.
Clinical nursing leadership has been reduced at multiple levels, and the voice of nurses in patient care has diminished. Hospital reengineering initiatives often have resulted in the loss of a separate department of nursing (Gelinas and Manthey, 1997). At the same time, nursing staff have perceived a decline in chief nursing executives with power and authority equal to that of other top hospital officials, as well as in directors of nursing who are highly visible and accessible to staff (Aiken et al., 2000). These changes—along with losses of chief nursing officers without replacement; decreases in the numbers of nurse managers; and increased responsibilities of remaining nurse managers for more than one patient care unit, as well as for supervising personnel other than nursing staff (e.g., housekeepers, transportation staff, dietary aides) (Aiken et al., 2001; Sovie and Jawad, 2001)—have had the cumulative effect of reducing direct management support available to patient care staff. This situation hampers nurses' ability to fix problems in their work environments that threaten patient safety (Tucker and Edmondson, 2002).

How to make Pig Candy – + New Youtube Channel!!
New video! So excited to share this with everyone. I ♥ Bacon!! Bacon pig candy is just all sorts of awesome. SO much fun. Make sure you subscribe to the channel We have so much more to come. .
Chocolate Pig Candy Whisky Truffles
I decided to take 3 of my favorite food groups – Whisky, Bacon and Chocolate and combine them into one over the top crazy decadent dessert.
These are not your everyday truffles.
- 20 oz best quality semi sweet chocolate chopped finely
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 2 oz Forty Creek Whisky
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1 cup semi sweet/dark or milk chocolate chocolate melted
- 8-12 slices pig candy finely chopped
Place the 20 oz of chocolate in a large glass bowl. Heat heavy whipping cream to a simmer. Pour cream over chocolate and add vanilla and whiskey. Let sit for a couple of minutes. Using a rubber spatula stir until the chocolate, whiskey, vanilla and cream are mixed well. Place in fridge for minimum of 4 hours or even better overnight to set up. Using a melon baller or small ice cream scoop portion out the truffles. Place on baking sheets covered with parchment. Place in fridge for 1 hour to harden. Dip truffles into melted chocolate (I use a couple of fondue forks for this) and top with finely chopped pig candy. Place on parchment paper to set and chill or freeze until serving. You can also substitute the whiskey for rum or other extracts to change the flavor profile.
Makes approximately 40/50 truffles
Chocolate Pig Candy Pretzels
Pig Candy is a truly versatile ingredient in recipes. You can serve it up whole, add it to cookies, cakes, ice creams and everything in between.
This time I decided to make a fun pretzel with it.
Super simple easy and absolutely bad for you deliciousness. You can make it as spicy as you would like. This time I traded the chipotle powder for 1/2 cup Piri Piri hot sauce. It was a good change and I really liked the results.
- 2 lbs pig candy (finely chopped)
- 2 cups Ghirardelli milk chocolate chips (or substitute dark chocolate) melted
- 1 bag Great Value Honey twist pretzels 283gr
Pig Candy Peanut Brittle
Sticking with my theme of pig candy decadence this week I also made peanut brittle. A few years ago a friend of mine gave me the simplest and easiest Microwave peanut brittle recipe. It does not get any easier and does not require a Candy thermometer. It has always turned out well for me. I haven't gone back to the stove top method since.
The recipe can be found on many sites. Here is the recipe I use:
- 1 cup white sugar
- 1/2 cup light or dark corn syrup ( I use light)
- 1 cup salted Virginia peanuts or hazelnuts, walnuts etc. (if they are unsalted add 1/2 tsp salt to recipe)
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 3/4 cup finely chopped pig candy
- Combine sugar and corn syrup in a glass bowl and microwave on high 4-5 minutes. *Please note I am using my vintage Pyrex red Christmas bowl for this. I love it. I have dishes that bring back fond memories every time I pull them out use them and this one makes me smile every time I use it* Stir in peanuts and microwave on high 3 -4 minutes more until the peanuts take on a darker golden color. Then stir in butter and vanilla and microwave for 2 minutes. Stir in pig candy and microwave for 1 minute.
- Stir in baking soda until light and foamy and thoroughly mixed. Pour onto cookie sheet lined with greased parchment paper and spread thin. Cool for 1 hour then break into pieces. Can be stored in a sealed container (in the fridge due to the bacon) for up to a month.
Smoked Pig Candy Shortbread
I made a lot of pig candy yesterday. THere are lots of great uses for it. One of my all time favorites is in Shortbread.
In my world a basic plain shortbread only ever has 4 ingredients. Salted butter, flour, vanilla and sugar. Thats it. No cornstarch no fillers nothing else. I only like to eat real buttery shortbread. This should come as no surprise. The key to a good shortbread is whizzing the regular granulated white sugar in a food processor.
Or better yet buying berry sugar to make the cookies with. The texture is in between granulated and powdered sugar. You end up with a much softer shortbread even after a couple of days. I have been using the same recipe for years. It was given to me by a wonderful lady Stephanie.
Here is my recipe for a batch of shortbread:
1 cup soft salted butter
1/2 cup berry sugar (or granulated white sugar whizzed in a food processor for a minute)
2 cups all purpose flour
1/2 cup finely chopped pig candy
300F for 30-35 minutes until the edges are just barely starting to turn brown.
Cream the sugar and the butter together until fluffy. Working with 1/4 cup at a time add in the flour. One the flour is completely mixed in the texture should be crumbly and just barely hold together. Add the bacon. I used the a glass that I dip in flour to press the shortbread into the pan. Do not compress hard. Just enough so that it comes together in the pan.
I personally like to use spring form pans for my shortbread. It makes it easy. I was making jumbo shortbread cookies last night so I used my 6 mini spring form pans.
Smoked Pig Candy- Decadent and absolutely delicious.
Pig Candy is something I make often. Sweet and salty and absolutely bad for you it can be used as an addition to many great things or just eaten on its own.
Here is how I made it today:
12 slices bacon
1 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup Smoky Mountain Smokers Spicy BBQ Rub
Lay the slices of bacon on a frogmat or perforated disposable BBQ pan like a BBQ Buddy
Sprinkle the slices generously with 1/2 cup brown sugar and 1/8 cup BBQ rub
Place on a grill indirect (seriously make sure this is indirect bacon fat can make a nasty grease fire!!) at 250F using hickory and oak wood chips, chunks or pellets.
After one hour turn the slices over and sprinkle them with the remaining brown sugar and rub. Return to the grill for another hour. (2hours total time)
Remove from grill and let rest until they have dried out. This will make storage much easier. When storing pig candy place one layer of slices in between sheets of parchment or wax paper. Cover with plastic wrap. Use within a couple of days. You can also freeze pig candy to ensure you always have this decadent snack on hand. To crisp up previously frozen pig candy place in oven just under the broiler for just a minute or two.
Pig Candy is great in many recipes like Pig Candy Shortbread, Pig Candy Chocolate Chip Cookies and many many more.
Like it spicier?? Add some ground chipotle or ancho powder to the slices for a kick !!
Quekies – BBQ Cookies….. and Pig Candy from Big Butz BBQ Sauce
Day 12-25 Days of BBQ blogging.
Came across an interesting topic on twitter the other day. BBQ Cookies.
Now my dear BBQ buddy Angie Quaale from Well Seasoned has been making Bacon Chocolate Chip Cookies for some time and getting rave reviews for them. I don't doubt they taste fantastic since she is such a great BBQ'er and chef in general. Bacon in any recipe will get my attention.
However I have never come across a recipe that calls for BBQ sauce and pig candy in cookies…
This lead me to contacting Tom from Big Butz BBQ Sauce for the recipe and to find out the inspiration for them comes from. Gourmet Girl Magazine is one of my favorite twitter (@TheGourmetGirl) people outside of the BBQ world.
Straight from Tom here is his own words and recipes…
Big Butz Quekies
BBQ Sauce infused Shortbread with Pig Candy Crumbles Cookies.
Recently I heard about this thing called a Virtual Holiday Cookie Crawl that Gourmet Girl Magazine was doing . They said they were looking for people to post recipes of their favorite or unusual cookie recipes that they had come up with for other people to try and enjoy. Now, I am a BBQ Sauce maker, not a baker, so this wouldn't seem like something for me but, then I got to thinking, "Who says you can't make a BBQ Sauce flavored cookie?" After all, the way I looked at it, cookies are sweet, BBQ Sauce is sweet (especially our Cranberry flavored sauce), so it can't be impossible. After some research and thinking about the different flavors of cookies I've had over the years, I began to do some tinkering. Until finally I came up with Big Butz Quekies! At first glance these may sound like the strangest things ever but, just one bite and you'll be amazed. This is the entry that I came up with for Gourmet Girl Magazine's Virtual Holiday Cookie Crawl
Cookie Dough Mix
(Makes about 2 dozen)
1 ¼ cup All Purpose Flour
½ cup White Cornmeal
¼ cup Cornstarch
15 tbsp. Stick Butter
½ cup Confectioners Sugar
½ tsp. Salt
3 tbsp. BBQ Sauce (Big Butz BBQ Sauce preferred)
4 Strips Pig Candy (Recipe to follow)
First mix together the flour, cornmeal, cornstarch, and salt in a large mixing bowl. You can use a sifter to do this, I just use a fork to stir it around for a few minutes until there are no lumps and everything appears to be blended together evenly. In a separate bowl, start by creaming the butter (for easy figuring, it's one tablespoon shy of 2 sticks of butter). Once the butter is smooth, stir in the sugar. (It is best to leave your butter out for it to soften but, if you must, you can microwave it at 10 second intervals. Do not let it melt!) Add the BBQ Sauce to the butter and sugar mixture and stir until completely blended in. Take your butter mixture and add it to the dry mixture by cutting it in.
Continue stirring until the mixture takes on a dough like quality. Chop up the pig candy strips into bits and stir them into the dough. Once everything has been thoroughly mixed roll it out of the bowl onto some plastic wrap. Seal up the dough in the wrap, flattening it into a large puck shape in the process. Place the wrapped up dough in the fridge for an hour all the way up to overnight if you need to. When ready to bake, preheat your oven to 375° and take dough out of the fridge. Knead the dough and roll it out into a log shape that is about a 1 ½ inches in diameter. Cut the log in half with a knife and place half back in the fridge.
Start slicing pieces about ½ inch thick or divide over and over again until you get 12 even pieces. During the slicing process you may have to continue to rotate the log to keep the pieces as round as possible. Lay pieces out flat on cookie sheet. There is no need for greasing or spraying oil on the sheet. Place sheet in oven and cook for 13-15 minutes. Cookies will be brown around bottom edges when you take them out but the rest of the whole cookies should not be. While cookies are baking, lay out a sheet of wax paper.
When cookies are done, use a flipper and immediately remove them from the sheet, and place them on the wax paper to cool. Repeat the same process for the second log. Cookies will come out soft but will firm up as the cool and will really stiffen up if placed in the fridge inside a sealed bag. For serving, I recommend providing some BBQ Sauce for dipping the cookies into to really bring out the BBQ flavors. This recipe works with any of our BBQ Sauce and can bring a whole new dimension when using our Hot flavors. For those who are looking for the ultimate in making these cookies, one could attempt to use a Big Green Egg or Bubba Ho Keg type cooker to do it and would truly have made BBQ cookies.
Pig Candy
(Makes enough for 2 batches of Big Butz Quekies.)
1 package Thick Cut Bacon
1 cup Brown Sugar
¼ cup Chile Powder
¼ cup Kosher Salt (or less)
Quite a few people already have their own recipe for Pig Candy. This is a quick and easy one that I came up with and can be made in the oven. Preheat your oven to 375°. Mix sugar, chile powder, and salt together in a bowl. Lay bacon out on a Jelly Roll Pan or standard backing sheet (there is going to be plenty of grease). Coat bacon evenly with mixture and place pan in the oven. Let cook for approximately 20 minutes or until bacon appears to be cooked and sugar mixture has caramelized on the bacon. Remove bacon from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. After bacon, or now Pig Candy, has cooled for a few minutes, place the strips on another baking sheet lined with paper towels to soak up the grease. You might have to do this a second time to get all the extra grease off. Once fully cooled, your Pig Candy is ready to be used in your Quekies! Or, you can always just eat it by itself.
Thanks very much to Tom for sharing his recipes.

Updated at 4:40pm:
Under the deal, single-use plastic bags would be banned at groceries and big box stores as of July 1, 2015. Pharmacies and liquor stores would be subject to the ban in 2016.
The stores would have to charge no less than 10 cents for any type of bag they sell – recyclable paper, reusable plastic or compostable. They could choose to charge more than 10 cents a bag.
The bill also includes $2 million of incentives for retraining plastic bag factory workers and retooling companies.
And starting in 2016, reusable plastic bags would need to contain at least 20 percent recycled material. That requirement would increase to 40 percent in 2020.
Original story:
The measure stalled last spring in the state Senate. But Sen. Kevin de León (D-Los Angeles), who's at the center of the talks, told Capital Public Radio Thursday morning that an announcement could come within 24 hours. A few hours later, the bill's author, Sen. Alex Padilla (D-Pacoima), announced a news conference Friday in Los Angeles County with De León, Sen. Ricardo Lara (D-Bell Gardens) and stakeholder groups.
While the bill's final details were still being worked out Thursday afternoon, Padilla says the framework won't change from last year's attempt.
"You phase out single-use plastic bags with a time-certain, make paper available for a fee, and ultimately, strongly incentivize and encourage the use of reusable bags."
~Sen. Alex Padilla (D-Pacoima)
Another area of negotiation among lawmakers, environmental groups and manufacturers is how to help plastic bag factory workers who could lose their jobs. That concern led a bloc of Latino Democratic senators, including De León and Lara, to oppose Padilla's bill last year.
"What we don't want to do is move forward good, progressive environmental policy while at the same time, having folks lose their jobs – particularly folks who are of the lower economic strata."
~Sen. Kevin de León (D-Los Angeles)
Ideas under consideration include tax incentives for manufacturers and job training and placement programs for workers.

Not bad for a first timer..
Let me just say, my initial plan was to practice this dramatic makeup a few days BEFORE the Halloween Block Party, but a busy and hectic week prevented that from happening. I was a little nervous doing my makeup on the day of, but I'm super pleased with the results. It only took me about 30 minutes total.

Top Local Tips for Belize City
Stay here as your base for inland or island tours Rougher looking thn average America, might feel uncomfortable for unexposed tourists. Some of the locals might be poor but are very happy and jovial to each other! Some awkwardness with tourists. Take a taxi ride anywhere for $2.50
Yes, there's a nightlife but not a lot. Stick around the Princess Hotel area. Bunch of clubs in the area. If you are looking for "something else" you have to leave the city but it's there. The local clubs are hot and not really touristy but people are great and I never had any issues. It's a place to dance. I don't know that I would recommend it alone, especially for women, but as a group it should be fine. Keep in mind you are NOT on south beach, you are in Belize.
Just be aware of where you are Mopan is located right next to the hub-bub of everything. Do not be so out of it that you do not enjoy the city, but just go with the flow and know you are in a third world county.

Stem Cell Therapy regrows meniscus tissue
Ross Hauser, MD explains the latest research and clinical studies on the use of stem cell therapy in regenerating and regrowing meniscus (meniscal) tissue in the knee.
- In examining the latest research, doctors acknowledge that a new strategy is required in treating extensive meniscus injuries and defects.
- This new strategy is Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). The doctors found (as we have found) repetitive injections of stem cells promoted meniscus regeneration and provided protection at the medial femoral articular cartilage.1,5
In research published by the Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery, doctors have found that a single stem cell injection following meniscus knee surgery may provide Knee Pain relief and aid in meniscus regrowth. In this study, patients received a single injection of adult stem cells following the surgical removal of all or part of a torn meniscus. These patients reported a significant reduction in pain. Further, some meniscal tissue regrew! Up to 15 percent increase in meniscal volume at one year. There was no additional increase in meniscal volume at year two. (Comment: Maybe they should have given more than one injection.) Wait, that was answered in the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons' press release. "The results of this study suggest that mesenchymal stem cells have the potential to improve the overall condition of the knee joint," said Dr. Vangsness (a study author). "I am very excited and encouraged" by the results. With the success of a single injection, "It begs the question: What if we give a series of injections?"2
Meniscus repair with Stem Cell Therapy
Again, we have to ask, if stem cells work well in meniscus tear injury, why have the surgery in the first place? It does say multiple injections may benefit the patient more. It seems we have written very often that single injections are not Prolotherapy; single PRP injections are not PRP treatments; and now single Stem Cell injections are probably more effective if given more often? Sounds like Comprehensive Prolotherapy performed at Caring Medical, ie multiple injections of various and supportive elements to fit the individual case of the the patient.
Why have the surgery in the first place?
On December 24, 2013, the New England Journal of Medicine published an article entitled :"Arthroscopic Partial Meniscectomy versus Sham Surgery for a Degenerative Meniscal Tear."
This was the work of Finnish researchers who recognized that arthroscopic partial meniscectomy is one of the most common orthopedic procedures, yet rigorous evidence of its efficacy is lacking. So what they did was to conducted a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, sham-controlled trial in 146 patients 35 to 65 years of age who had knee symptoms consistent with a degenerative medial meniscus tear and no knee osteoarthritis. Patients were randomly assigned to arthroscopic partial meniscectomy or sham surgery. Then a scoring system was designed to measure pain, symptom severity and knee pain after exercise at 12 months after the procedure.
The outcomes after arthroscopic partial meniscectomy were no better than those after a sham surgical procedure
What they found was "In this trial involving patients without knee osteoarthritis but with symptoms of a degenerative medial meniscus tear, the outcomes after arthroscopic partial meniscectomy were no better than those after a sham surgical procedure."2 This is not the first study this year to question the value of meniscal surgery. Earlier in 2013 research published in the American Journal of Sports Medicine showed what little value meniscectomy has. Researchers compared meniscectomy to nonoperative treatment for meniscus tears.2 They specifically studied degenerative horizontal tears of the medial meniscus and hypothesized that surgical treatment would produce better outcomes than nonoperative strengthening exercises.
In other research, doctors hypothesized that surgical treatment would produce better outcomes than nonoperative strengthening exercises. It didn't.
This study was a randomized controlled trial with the highest level of evidence (level 1). The study had 102 patients with medial meniscus tears – 81 women and 21 men with the average age of 53.8. Fifty patients underwent arthroscopic menisicectomy while 52 participated in nonoperative strengthening exercises. The results did not match up the to researchers hypothesis. At the two year follow-up there was no difference in pain relief, improved knee function or patient satisfaction. Results also showed that meniscectomy did not provide better functional improvement than the nonoperative group.3 But what was the difference between these two groups? One group of patients underwent invasive surgery, had tissue removed, and will likely experience long-term meniscus degeneration. In fact, most surgical meniscus treatments, "have a high long-term failure rate with the recurrence of symptoms including pain, instability, locking, and re-injury. The most serious of the long-term consequences is an acceleration of joint degeneration."4
Significant decline in the patients' knee pain and stiffness
In 2010 we published our findings on Prolotherapy for meniscal tears. We performed a retrospective study involving 24 patients, representing 28 knees, whose primary knee complaints were due to meniscal pathology documented by MRI. The average number of Prolotherapy visits was six and the patients were followed on average 18 months after their last Prolotherapy visit. Prolotherapy caused a statistically significant decline in the patients' knee pain and stiffness. Starting and ending knee pain declined from 7.2 to 1.6, while stiffness went from 6.0 to 1.8.
Prolotherapy caused large improvements in other clinically relevant areas such as range of motion, crepitation, exercise, and walking ability
Patients stated that the response to Prolotherapy met their expectations in 27 out of the 28 knees (96%). Only one out of the 28 patients ended up getting surgery after Prolotherapy. Based on the results of this study, Prolotherapy appears to be an effective treatment for meniscal pathology. 5

Living in the city while having limited space may seem like the norm, but this is especially disheartening for any green thumb looking to take on a gardening project. Fortunately for all the city dwellers out there, Uribo has developed the Vertical Garden – a cool, modern and eco-friendly magnetic gardening system that combines futuristic aesthetics, with functional practicality.
The pots are made of "eco-plastic", and each comes attached with to large neodymium magnet strong enough to hold the weight of the plant against any wall. Each pot also includes its own individual puck to hold each of the individual plants. The pots can also be attached together to create nice, little centerpieces for any table. Uribo is also designing a wall mount kit consisting of plates that are also designed to hold the pots.
Interested in buying a few for your home? The Urbio team is currently trying to raise funds to make the project a reality. You can visit kickstarter.com for more info.

I recently started staying at Hilton properties more regularly. To accumulate points faster I requested to be fast tracked to Hilton Honors Diamond status.
The reason I switched some of my stays over is there is a really nice Hilton property in the city where we are taking an upcoming trip and I needed to top off my account. Plus there are two decent promotions going on at Hilton, the Delta promotion, and the 10,000 Hilton Points promotion.
How to Request Fast Track
I called the Hilton Honors help desk and simply asked if there was any fast track offer for Diamond status and motioned I had some upcoming stays I'd like to move to Hilton. They offered me Diamond if I stayed 21 nights in a 90 day period.
Now I earn all the perks of Hilton status with only 21 nights.

Simple things are worth blogging about
28 Feb
Dr Lisa and Her New Book About Her
*In Stores and Everywhere in April – ORDER Your Copy Online Today!
Fans of the weekday show The Drs will know who Doctor Lisa Masterson is. She is the only woman on the panel of 4 doctors; who all cover an expertise, in a different medical profession. Doctor Masterson is a Obsterician & Gynecologist. Do you know what that means? How about a quick little game of Doctor Trivia with our own Dr. Lisa as the host, question, and answer to our little hospital Trivial Pursuit Game. Come on! This will be fast and fun…
Health Exam #1 - What part of a woman's body would we expect Dr Masterson to be touching the most?
A. Ears
B. Tongue
C. Stomach
D. Feet
Do you have any guesses? Well just take out your Little Padgett Gadgets, oh wait, this is NOT Live TV! Well let's clarify a little bit more about the job, training, and certification, our little Dr. Lisa has, for her to do the medical tasks in her Doctor's Office. And what her official title on The Drs TV Show she carries with her to the studio each day, where she is capable and professionally trained to answer the variety of TV questions; which get placed in front of her each morning. Dr. Lisa Masterson is a OB/GYN. She gets the first two letters from the "obstetrician" skills, knowledge, and years of training. While the last three letters in her official medical title is from the "gynecologist" skills, knowledge, and even more years of studying, reading, asking questions, taking medical exams, and other highly trained lessons, she has had to endure over the early years of her medical school days.
Well after learning about her official title, I feel like I have a guess, but I am still not completely sure. Let's go to Answers.com and see what they have to say, about each one of these job titles Doctor Masterson carries with her.
А Obstetrician is a physician who has successfully completed specialized education and training in the management of pregnancy, labor, and the puerperium (the time-period directly following childbirth).
A Gynecologist is a physician who has a successfully completed specialized education and training in the health of the female reproductive system, including the diagnosis and treatment of disorders and diseases.
Now do you have an answer for the medical question above? Please reply with your answers: A, B, C, or D. And we will try to get a professional OB/GYN to stop by and answer this tough question. Or perhaps if the one and only Miss Lisa Masterson is free and could spend a quick moment with all of us here, on the DRs TV Blog, we might could get a famous California Doctor to provide us with the correct answers to this OB-GYN question.
The main thing I wanted to give everyone the heads up on, is some of the details about this newest book from The Doctors Television Show in Hollywood, California. Most of you got to see the new book Dr. Travis Stork recently released in early December of 2010. Travis wrote a pure medical book and his Lean Belly Prescription has been a very popular book online. A lot of positive reviews have been made about Dr. Stork's unique and helpful diet and exercise tips. Which he has laid out for men and women to start making a few changes in their daily lifestyles.
The newest book that will be hitting bookstore shelves in April, will not be a pure book on medicine, health, and doctors. This Drs New Book will be about the real life story of Lisa Masterson. Long before she ever became a doctor, she was living in a much different life; than the grand lifestyle and fame, she now commands on the set of Paramount Studios in California.
You can order Doctor Lisa's new book Paper Doll House and lock in the special pre-ordering price. You will be guaranteed the special, low rate price for the debut of this special book. I can't wait to get a chance to read through it and see what the struggles were like, for the very attractive Dr Masterson; which we see each morning now. How much worse, would our mornings be, to wake up each day, without having the lovely Doctor Lisa to smile and brighten up everyone's day? I guess the feeling is mutual for the ladies; who find Doctor Stork from Nashville, Tennessee as a very attractive and well-liked doctor with the female audience members.
More news, info, and details coming soon…

Borla offers their Touring catback for the 2010-2011 Camaro, this system is constructed of full stainless steel piping that uses slip fittings for easy install and great fitment. The touring system is similar to the "Type S" exhaust in almost every way, but offers a more subdued tone for those not looking to catch unwanted attention. The system offers higher flow, a more aggresive exhaust note, and lighter weight/stronger construction than stock. As usual this system is backed by Borla's Million Mile warranty and is guaranteed for the life of your vehicle.

In 1995 I lived in Hermosillo, Sonora. I worked in a Franchise named Mail Boxes Etc. Near to my job lived my sister of the Message and friend, Angélica Riojas. At that time I lived with her. One day after work, we heard that a campaign was going on in a charismatic church nearby. We decided to go visit the church.
The evangelist came from Cananea, Sonora. He was preaching a tremendous message. His subject was about the great men of God of the twentieth century. He mentioned Bro. Billy Graham, Amy Semple McPherson, Jimmy Swaggart, etc. He said that all these powerful ministries had fallen into various scandalous circumstances. At the end he mentioned this great man that had a gift of healing who preached around the world and had a gift of discernment. He said that he has seen some videos. He said at the end, "Oh, what a sad thing! This man also fell; he let the people worship him. His name was WILLIAM MARRION BRANHAM!"
My sister and I felt shivers through our spine. We looked to each other in amazement. Did we really hear what this man had said? This was the first time I heard somebody in an organization mention Bro. Branham. After the service was over, I approached the evangelist and asked him for his card. I felt in my heart that I had to call him and let him know that we believed Bro. Branham's message and what he had just said was not true.
The following day at work, I was reading a message book from Bro. Oscar Galdona of Venezuela. "Aclarando conceptos" (clarifying concepts) is a compilation of quotes of Bro. Branham explaining how some precious brothers had started to say that Bro. Branham was their savior and wanted to confess their sins to him. I telephoned the evangelist and started to explain to him that I was at the service listening to what he had said about Bro. Branham. I told him that he was mistaken. Bro. Branham never let those people worship him but, because of them, he wanted to leave the ministry and told them, "Brothers, don't do that, I rather leave the field, stop that, because that would made me an antichrist. If you love me, call me brother." The evangelist noticed that I was upset. After he questioned me about the believers of the message and where they had services, the conversation ended.
I forgot the incident. Some some years later, I was attending a meeting in Ejido Cibuta, south of Nogales. My sister, Angélica, was at that meeting also. After the morning service, a brother approached me and asked me if I had worked in a place where I used the telephone a lot. I answered that I did. He then started to tell me about a vision he had. He told me he seen me talking on the phone and had heard all the conversation I had with the evangelist. (I had never talked to anybody about that). The brother saw where the evangelist was from. He told me he heard a voice telling him that the Holy Spirit was pleased that I had stood up to defend God's Prophet.
I called sister Angélica and requested the brother to repeat what he had just told me since she was with me at that time. My sister started to cry and repeated, "How did he know?"
Brethren, I love our Bro. Branham with all my heart. I am identified with all that he preached, in all that he suffered, and also with all of his victories. But I can only look forward to where he pointed me to OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST.
I have not been in touch with supernatural things. God had a purpose for this confirmation in my life. Nevertheless it's personal and has been a blessing to me, far from what words can explain. I hope it will be, in some way, a blessing to you to see that God always watches over his servants.
God Bless you.
Love in Christ,
Susana Ashurst

10 Songs You Need To Download This Instant
i'd like to make this a weekly feature i think, consider this my maiden voyage:
1. The Delays – Long Time Coming
Is this the Cocteau Twins you ask yourself? no wait, that's a dude singing… This record is easily one of my favorites so far in 2004, and this is just one of many reasons.
2. The Delays – You Wear The Sun
I said it was one of my favorites this year didn't i? While this album reminds me of The La's a lot, this song doesn't have as much La's influence as a few others, but the jangly brit pop vibe is still very much present here. One of my fave songs i've heard this year.
3. Pedro The Lion – A Simple Plan
Say what you will about David Bazan, but the guy can write a damn good melody. Normally PTL's music isn't something that i'd probably really like, but something about it really sticks with me, i'm not sure exactly why, but it started mostly with his last record, Control, which is pretty much perfect all around imo. This new record isn't quite that awesome, but it's still got some very solid tunes no less. Overall the record isn't one of my top albums, but it's def i'd say top 15-25 or so.
4. Pedro The Lion – Start Without Me
Along w/ You Wear The Sun above, another of my favorite tunes so far this year. David's weary voice, combined with his haunting lyrics usually = a great formula for success as far as my ears are concerned. My favorite part of this song is the little breakdown "If it's once i've got it, if it's twice i don't", etc. as it rolls into the harder "It's not, like it wasn't all for you, but like everything i do, it's misunderstood".
5. David Byrne – The Man Who Loves Beer
While David's work in The Talking Heads was almost always stellar, his solo efforts have not been met with as much enthusiasm on my part, but his newest release, Growing Backwards, has definitely intrigued me quite a bit, and this song is one of the reasons. This song would be amazing as the opening to a film imo.
6. The Killers – Under The Gun
So while i dig this band's debut record Hot Fuss some, it dissapoints me that the best song that i've heard from them so far, was destined to live forever in b-side land. They should have taken the stinker track, Indie Rock N Roll, off and put this in its place. Though i've heard it's not on the US release at least.
7. The Hold Steady – Knuckles
While Lifter Puller never quite got the attention they deserved (imo), i'm hoping that Craig Finn's latest project is met with a bit more enthusiasm this time around. I've heard a lot of people are not big on Craig's voice, and i can understand that, it's definitely different, but imo it's totally unmistakeable and original. "I've been trying to get people to call me Sunny D, cuz i got the good stuff that kid's go for, and people keep calling me 5 Alive."
8. Mclusky – She Will Only Bring You Happiness
Yeah this new record isn't nearly as good as Do Dallas, so fucking what, it still stomps ass imo. And this song is just one of the reasons why i appreciate the more melodic stuff on this one that wasn't as present on Do Dallas. "Not to self, be erect by half past ten", words of wisdom from the Welsh.
9. The Fiery Furnaces – Straight Street
If the Flaming Lips, Spoon, and The Eels got into a bus accident, it'd sound a little something like this i'm thinking (ok not this song exactly, but as a whole, check out the track Bird Brain for more of what i'm talking about)
10. Matt Pond PA – Lily Two
I actually wanted to included a song or three from this album too, but i'll save it for future editions (actually maybe i should enact a 1 song per band rule next time, noted). This album, along w/ the Delays, have totally been my 2 "sleeper" albums this year. Just totally came out of nowhere, but at least i was familiar w/ Matt Pond PA a little bit before this record (their last one was pretty damn good too). As i stated above talking about Pedro, not exactly something i'd expect myself to enjoy, but sometimes those are the most fun records/bands/songs, the ones you least expect to kick your ass.
alright, it's 3am, and even though i dont' work until 10, i still should get some shut eye, until next time!

The 2009 Nautica Malibu Triathlon is just one month away and Oceana still has available spots for our race team for the Olympic distance race (1.5K swim, 40K bike, 10K run) on September 12 and the Classic distance race (.5mi swim, 18mi bike, 4mi run) on September 13.
Sign up to race for Oceana before Monday, August 17. »
I'll be racing this year, but last year I attended as a spectator and was excited to see all the celebs that did the Pacific swim, the Pacific Coast Highway bike ride and the run down the pavement and blacktop along Zuma Beach. Jennifer Lopez, Matthew McConaughey, William H. Macy, Felicity Huffman and Cindy Crawford were just some of the famous faces to grace the beach in 2008 and I know many will be there in 2009 too.
Team Oceana athletes won't be as widely recognized as some of the stars in the race, but we'll do our part to help you get recognized by giving athletes a team race jersey and shorts. There's also a fundraising component to being a team Oceana athlete and Nautica has offered a $500 gift card to the athlete who raises the most money for Oceana.
It's a fun event, done for a great cause. We have spots available for the September 12-13 event and we want you to get involved. Remember to please sign up by Monday, August 17.
Also, be sure to check out my slideshow from the 2008 event.

First Spin: Download FIDLAR's Surfy 'No Waves'
L.A. garage punks FIDLAR are quintessential SoCal skate brats. Lo-fi production, head-banging riffs, (insanely infectious) songs called "Wake Bake Skate," and of course, a Facebook page where their bio begins with the words, "FIDLAR are slackers at heart." Following the release of their first 7" DIYDUI (White Iris) last year, the quartet signed to Mom+Pop Music, where they'll join Andrew Bird, Neon Indian, and our latest SPIN cover stars Sleigh Bells. Their new 7", unsurprisingly named No Waves/No Ass, is due March 13.
Their name — an acronym for "Fuck It Dog, Life's a Risk" — pretty much does our work for us, but we'll give it a shot anyway: FIDLAR channel elements of classic acts like the White Stripes and Pixies, while practically begging for a co-headlining tour with contemporaries like Bass Drum of Death and JEFF the Brotherhood (the latter of whom we recently caught when they stopped by Death By Audio in Brooklyn). FIDLAR live shows are sweaty, shirtless, and generally intoxicated; download (and headbang at your desk to) the A-side of No Waves/No Ass, "No Waves," below, to see if their recordings measure up (we think they do).
FIDLAR Spring 2012 Tour Dates:
February 23 - San Francisco, CA - Noise Pop @ Café Du Nord
February 25 - Berkeley, CA - House Party @ Cloyne Co-Op
February 26 - Santa Barbara, CA @ Biko Garage
March 4 - Los Angeles, CA @ The Echo
March 13 - Austin, TX - SXSW @ White Iris Showcase
March 14 - Austin, TX - SXSW @ Origami Records/Echo Texas Throwdown
March 14 - Austin, TX - SXSW @ Vans Showcase
March 14 - Austin, TX - SXSW @ Get Bent Showcase - The Spider House March 15 - Austin, TX - SXSW @ Filter Show (Lustre Pearl)
March 15 - Austin, TX - SXSW @ KXLU/Smell Day Party
March 15 - Austin, TX - SXSW @ C3 House Party
March 17 - Austin, TX - SXSW @ Mess With Texas Day Party

Kveller Helps Name a Baby!
Kveller readers may remember the contest we had back in February to help name my friend's baby. She wanted to honor her grandmother, Goldie, who recently passed away. The winning name was Orli, and I am so pleased to let you all know that my friend decided to use it.
Orli Rose was born on June 11. She showed up about 5 weeks early, so she's still in the NICU, but doing well. Thanks to everyone who participated in our contest, and especially to MusicJulia for her wonderful suggestion!

What a fantastic start to the season for the Tigers - six wins from seven in the First Utility Super League combined with a Tetley's Challenge Cup win over Batley has really created a feel good factor around the club.
It is not only the team who are flying high - 'The Beast' made its debut in the first home game against Catalan Dragons (no, not Justin Carney). 'The Beast' in question being the enormous black, amber and white flag which was rolled out (literally) over Cas fans in the Wheldon Road End.
It has been amazing to see it follow Cas fans around the country since then, but now we want you to contribute with one of your own. You can now buy a 'mini beast' flag ahead of the St Helens game, available at the stadium shop and retail van at The Mend-A-Hose Jungle at the game for just £5.
The Beast was the brain child of fellow TT members Adam Price and Oliver 'Big Fish' Wilby, who together with other members of the Tigers Barmy Army, came up with the idea of bringing a very large splash of colour to the WRE, to create something special for the fans, by the fans. What's more, they funded it from their own pocket.
We want to create a sea of black and amber which helps to add colour and atmosphere to what is already turning out to be the most exciting season for the Tigers in many years. The stadium was positively bouncing against Wigan and Hull FC, and the atmosphere at the end of the game will be remembered for a long time to come.
TT are planning more events for fans in the coming months, with funds continuing to go back into the club to help with important off field projects within the club and the wider community, eg the new Castleford Tigers logo outside the WRE, which was funded by the TT group.
A big thank you to everyone who continues to support our fund raising evenings and events, we could not do it without the fans.
