Well, two yeas and nine days when writing this post to be exact! And I'm so proud of everyone of those days, and believe me some of them have been so hard. I've wanted nothing more then to run to the local shop and buy some. But I've resisted, and the cravings never last long. It's been a lot easier since my husband joined me in the non smoking club. He declared to me back in October that he really wanted to take part in stoptober, but he was too late. It was the 2nd! I told him not to be silly, it's never to late and he quit the very next day. His story is different to mine, I quit the second I found out I was pregnant. I didn't even need to think about it, I was gearing up to quit on the Monday anyway as I had just joined the gym and knew it was going to hinder me. I found out on the Friday before! My husband however has needed help, he has quit using a device know as a electric cigarette. It's called vaping, and basically he's still getting nicotine, but in a water vapour and with none of the rubbish. He's done so well, I'm crazy proud of him! He's not had a single cigarette since October 3rd and he's not missed it either. There are serval types of Ecigs on the market, the type that he originally quit with which you can read about here. and you also get the disposable kind.
Now this type look and feel more like a real cigorette, you can also get ones like this that are rechargeable. The disposable ones are great if your going out somewhere and don't want to lose your larger and far more expensive model. These are perfect for when Michael goes out to play pool once a month. They last approx two days, depending on how heavy a smoker you are and can be purchased from most large supermarkets.
Product: Ten motives electronic cigarette
Claim: The electronic cigarette with ten great motives to make the change including…
1) Legal to smoke anywhere.
2) No tobacco.
3) No cancerous toxins.
4) Non flammable.
5) No passive smoking.
6) Satisfies nicotine cravings.
7) No ash or nasty odours.
8) Looks and feels like smoking.
9) Cheeper then ordinary cigarettes.
10) A practical alternative to smoking.
Review: A perfect 48 hour fix.
Here's to the next two years for me, and the next three months for Michael. I know we can do this, we both feel strong!
Do you have a quit story? I would love to hear from you if you do.
Disclaimer. We were sent a disposable ten motives to review, all words and photos are my own.

Long Term Care Services - Children
Children's Long Term Services (CLTS) includes the Children's Long Term Support Medicaid Waivers. The CLTS waivers are funded through Medicaid. They are known as Medicaid Waivers because the Federal Government "waived" certain regulations so that Medicaid dollars can pay for services in the community. CLTS waivers are available to children and youth under the age of 22 who have a developmental disability, physical disability, or severe emotional disturbance. A child's eligibility is determined by completion of the State approved WI Children's Long Term Care Functional Screen.
Case Management – Children
Case Management and service coordination is the provision of service to locate, manage, coordinate and monitor program services, additional services and informal community supports provided to eligible individuals and to assure that services are provided in accordance with program requirements. The Department of Community Programs offers case management services to children and adolescents who have an identified serious emotional disturbance, developmental disability, physical disability, or substance abuse issue. This service provides continuous support, service coordination, advocacy and assistance to families who have children whom qualify. Case Managers serve as a central point of contact for the consumer's services.
The Birth-to-Three Program is a State and Federal mandated program that provides services to children who exhibit at least a 25% delay in one or more major areas of developmental or cognitive functioning. Children must receive services within their natural environment, home or day care, and families must participate in the provision of services.
Family Support
The Family Support Program enables parents of children with disabilities to care for their children in their own homes rather than placing them in institutions or other out-of-home placements. The program recognizes that having a disabled child places additional stress on the family and can often lead to out-of-home placement. A priority system, based on assessed needs, is used to determine the children and families served by this program. Funding for this program is provided to the agency through a sum-certain grant of $35,000. Limited funds are available and no family is able to receive more than $3,000 per year. Families file a yearly application and the child must meet the CLTS Functional Screen Eligibility to receive this programs funds.
Coordinated Services Team (CST)
This program serves children of all ages that meet functional eligibility criteria and uses the wraparound process to respond to individuals and families with multiple and often serious needs in the least restrictive setting possible. This wraparound process is based on family and community values, is unconditional in its commitment to creatively address needs, and supports community-based options. Each child and family-centered team develops an individualized plan, incorporating the strengths of the child, family, and team members to work toward identified goals. Parents/caregivers are equal partners and have ultimate ownership of their Plan of Care. Children in this program are often involved in multiple systems of care and can still be found eligible/receive other sources of support such as Children's Waiver, Comprehensive Community Services, school based services, Outpatient Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services in conjunction with CST.
Community Support Program – Adults
Community Support Program (CSP) is a psychosocial rehabilitation program designed to provide coordinated care and treatment of persons with a serious and persistent mental illness, who also suffer from significant functioning impairments in one or more areas of live. Together, with consumers, individual treatment plans are developed identifying areas of need and methods of assisting the consumer reach specific goals. Over fifty percent of CSP services are provided in the community to help individuals lead independent and successful lives.

The male reproductive system produces sperm that are manufactured in the seminiferous tubules within each testicle. The head of the sperm contains the DNA that, when combined with the egg's DNA, will create a new individual. The tip of the sperm head is called the acrosome, which enables the sperm to penetrate the egg. The midpiece contains the mitochondria that supply the energy the tail needs to move. The tail moves with whip-like movements back and forth to propel the sperm towards the egg. Sperm have to reach the uterus and the fallopian tube in order to fertilize a woman's egg.

Will the glut of natural gas be a good thing for the environment? The gas industry insists it could be if we invest in the infrastructure to use it, as it would displace coal, which produces more CO2 when burned.
Environmentalists, however, say that investing in gas would simply lay the groundwork for a whole new generation of hydrocarbon-producing power plants, and set the goal of sharply reducing emissions back years.
The Russian partners in TNK-BP have been grumbling about BP's landmark deal with Rosneft. They seem to feel they have been cheated out of the opportunity to explore the Arctic, potentially one of the biggest oil provinces in the world.
BP should call their bluff. It should see if they are really up for risky polar exploration that may not yield a decent return for 20 years. The Russian partners have made plenty of money in Russia's roller-coaster post-Communist economy. But they have yet to show they are ready for investments that may not mature before they retire.
Just when you thought you'd heard all the impressive predictions about China in the coming years, BP comes out with another.
In a report released on Wednesday, the energy giant claims that China will be the largest source of oil consumption growth over the next 20 years – increasing consumption to 17.5m barrels per day – overtaking the US as the world's biggest oil consumer in the process.
According to the report, OECD oil demand peaked in 2005. Global energy consumption will instead be driven by developing countries, which will account for 93 per cent of global energy growth over the next 20 years.

I happened upon your Sept. 2, 2012 issue of East Valley Tribune Sunday. Thank you for the laugh! Really. "Is Tea Party Losing Influence" is the lead story?
I guess we now fully understand why The East Valley Tribune and more so, the Arizona Republic and your other friends in print media, have truly lost influence. I am actually sad to see the East Valley Tribune lose influence as it has over the past five years; but I haven't shed a tear about the rest of the liberal media.
This thing should be more appropriately called The East Valley Sunday Pamphlet.
Please report the news and do not try to create the news and you will enjoy increased readership.

Record: 18 – 10 – 7
Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Dark days behind him
Cormier learning valuable lesson after vicious elbow
Patrice CORMIER already had enough challenges disrupting his career.
A string of injuries -- appendix, concussion, shoulder -- that just wouldn't seem to quit.
Then came a bad decision. A really bad one.
And he's spent the last two years trying to loosen the grip of its consequences.
In January 2010, the Winnipeg Jets forward, just recalled this week, was suspended for the balance of his junior season and playoffs for elbowing opponent Mikael Tam in the head. Tam started convulsing on the ice and was rushed to hospital.
Cormier pleaded guilty to a charge of assault causing bodily harm in October 2010 and received an unconditional discharge, meaning he wouldn't have a criminal record.
Not long after the banishment, the 54th overall pick of the 2008 entry draft was traded by the New Jersey Devils to the Atlanta Thrashers in the Ilya Kovalchuk deal.
And then more injuries, including a concussion and a broken foot cost him most of the 2010-11 season.
"The last couple of years have been hell," Cormier told the Free Press during the season, most of it spent with the AHL's St. John's IceCaps.
The "hell" includes the consequences, which he admits are impossible to leave behind.
"Obviously it always will (stay with me)," Cormier said of his bad decision. "When you look at it, it sucks. I don't like to look at it. It's always going to stay with me but it's died down a lot. It's happened. It's behind me. It's over with. The court's over with. A year and a half has passed since then and I want it to stay in the past.
"But I know when I'm on the ice I have to keep my elbows down and obviously I think about it. When I go to hit a guy, if the guy's coming across the ice, I want to hit him but I don't want to hurt him.
"I know I tuck my elbows in and make sure there's nothing. I could lie to you and say that I don't think about it when I'm out there. But if you think about what happened, it was a pretty big deal and if it ever happens again, people are going to be saying, 'That's what he does.' "
Cormier says now he has no choice but to focus on the lesson, and at the same time return to a more steady path of development.
"I want to hit as much but I'm being smarter now, and with all these suspensions now, of course you have to be smart and right when you hit," he said. "If you're not, guys will not respect you. You have to respect everyone out there and if you do those things, you'll get no respect at all."
The Moncton, N.B., native still hasn't had a perfect season of health but the 62nd game of his season would come tonight against the New York Islanders. That would be a high-water mark for him since his midget days.
"He's been an interesting development process," said Jets GM Kevin Cheveldayoff. "There was the suspension and then last year the majority of the time with injuries. What we've said to him after a good training camp was that there was an argument to be made that he could have stayed. But we have told him to go down and continue to develop."
When he returns to the IceCaps next week, Cormier will have the chance to develop even further. St. John's will be one of the top three seeds in the AHL Eastern Conference playoffs.
"My goal was to play all the games, to stay healthy all year," Cormier said. "I wanted to make the Jets but I know more important was that I had to get better. And I had to play.
"It's what I've been doing. I've been giving it my all, staying focused on the goal."
Lessons started early in 2011-12 for Jets forward and prospect Patrice Cormier. After that good training camp came a mistake, he admits now, a mistake that won't be repeated.
He took something for granted.
"The first time I came down it was hard," he said. "I thought I was going to stay up for the home opener against Montreal. I let myself go that I was sure I would stay so when it (the demotion) happened, I was crushed. It took me a couple of games to get over it. Now when I go up, I know what I have to do, and when I come back down, same, I know what I have to do."

The Thais finished with 86 gold and a total metal count of 266 at the 11-nation event in Laos, with Vietnam taking 83 and 215 medals overall.
Indonesia were third with 43 gold and 170 medals. Seventy games records were set during the 12 days of competition.
On the final day in Vientiane, the Thais and Vietnamese took two gold apiece.
Hark back
Vietnam won two in shooting while Thailand captured mixed doubles tennis and women's team petanque – also known as boules and a hark back to French Indochina colonialism.
Myanmar picked up two in sepaktakraw, the Philippines won the men's tennis singles and Laos the men's team petanque.
The Games unveiled a Vietnamese team that had shown remarkable improvement since the 2007 edition at which host Thailand amassed 182 gold and a total of 406 medals against Vietnam's 64 gold and 204 overall.
The Thais were expected to capture more than 100 gold medals in Vientiane, but Vietnam had demonstrated at these games the benefit of large amounts of government funding for sports and improved coaching.
"They're very committed and they have taken the Southeast Asian Games seriously. I am impressed," said Malaysia's Minister of Youth and Sports Ahmad Shabery Cheek.
In the most popular event of the Games, favored Vietnam suffered an unlikely 1-0 defeat in the football final after an 84th minute own goal by Mai Xuan Hop handed victory to Malaysia.
Hop sank to the ground and wept.
Thousands of Vietnamese fans packed the 20,000-seat stadium on Thursday, having poured into the Lao capital aboard planes, buses, cars and jammed into the back of open-air trucks, waving Vietnam's yellow star flag and carrying portraits of revolutionary hero Ho Chi Minh.
The hosts received high marks from athletes, coaches and officials for running the games with surprising efficiency mixed with traditional Lao hospitality and a laidback style.
The sporting event, staged in one of the world's poorest nations, was the biggest in the country's history and probably the largest national event since celebrations of independence from France in 1947.
Vientiane's schools were closed, weddings and other large gatherings banned and the capital underwent major infrastructure clean-ups and repairs.
Hundreds of high school and college student volunteers, the women dressed in sarongs, helped out at the sports venues.
Largely dependent on foreign aid, Laos received assistance from China, which built the main stadium complex, Vietnam, South Korea, Japan, Brunei and neighbouring Thailand, which provided technical assistance and personnel to help run events and train future local sports officials.
The Lao teams, cheered on by avid fans, exceeded their official gold target of 25, winning 33.
The 2011 games will be hosted by four cities in Indonesia – Semarang, Bandung, Jakarta and Palembang – and will feature competition in 38 sports including non-Olympic ones like wall climbing, roller skating, chess and the martial art of kenpo.
Host nations can introduce some sports of their own choosing, and are normally ones in which they excel.

Family Guy: Brian Griffin WILL return to the show this December!
Put that box of Man-Sized tissues in the bin, guys, as it has been revealed that Brian Griffin WILL return to Family Guy later this month!! Yes, Yes and more Yes!
Entertainment Weekly has today reported that the beloved canine will pop up on the show later this month, and it's looking like he will be back on a permanent basis.
For those of you who don't know, firstly where have you been and secondly, Brian Griffin was killed off in an episode earlier this month. In the episode, the dog was run over by an out-of-control car and his injuries were that extensive, he passed away on the operating table.
Unfortunately, Stewie had dismantled his time machine that very day, so he couldn't go back in time and stop the accident from happening.
Following on from the accident, the family went out and purchased a new dog, which is voiced by The Sopranos actor, Tony Sirico.
However, the was an outpour of anger from the viewers as Brian Griffin had been a part of the show since day one and the viewers thought it was cruel and unjust to kill him off after such a long time, as he really was one of the family.
A petition set up online even received over 120,000 signatures to reinstate Brian on the show.
Now, one thing that we are sure about is that this was planned all along as an episode with Maya Rudolph is in the works already for next fall as all episodes are planned well in advance of broadcast date.
We're not quite sure how Brian will be brought back from the dead either, but we do know that he will return to the FOX comedy on December 15.
Speaking about the death of Brian, executive producer Steve Callaghan said that it was done "to shake things up".
"It seemed more in the realm of a reality that a dog would get hit by a car, than if one of the kids died. As much as we love Brian, as much as everyone loves their pets, we felt it would be more traumatic to lose one of the kids, rather than the family pet," he told E! Online.
Unfortunately, FOX has declined to comment at this time.
So, are you all happy that Brian will be returning?

Turkey: An Armchair Traveler's Guide
Explore the archaeology and history of Turkey! Delve into the fascinating archaeological sites of Turkey from the comfort of your home. Includes lengthy articles on Ephesus and books about the Seven Churches hand-picked by Dr. Mark Wilson, who leads our tours to Turkey.
Fully Illustrated Feature Articles on Turkey
Ephesus Uncovered
by Peter Scherrer
Archaeology Odyssey Mar/Apr 2001
Unlike other great Hellenistic/Roman cities—Alexandria, Antioch, Rome, Constantinople—Ephesus was abandoned in antiquity. These other cities continue to thrive today, which, unfortunately for archaeologists, means that they cannot be excavated, at least not completely. The principal remains we have from ancient Alexandria, for example, are catacombs and debris from the harbor floor; archaeologists digging at Antioch in the 1930s discovered that most of that splendid ancient city is buried under the sprawling modern one. We can view these sites only in the imagination, with the help of literary sources. Not so Ephesus. Read more.
Ephesus: Key to a Vision in Revelation
by Steven Friesen
BAR May/Jun 1993
The last book of the New Testament canon, Revelation records the fantastic heavenly revelations received by a certain John. Known as the Revelation of John or the Revelation to John, the book is also called the Apocalypse, which is simply the Greek word for revelation. A careful study of the archaeology of Ephesus will deepen our understanding of one of the visions in the Revelation of John, perhaps the most difficult book of the New Testament. Read more.
Recommended DVDs
Honor and Shame: Core Values of the Biblical World
The concepts of honor and shame are both ancient and pervasive in the Middle East, and have had a profound effect on the shaping of human history, from the Biblical age up to the present. In this riveting lecture, Dr. Richard Rohrbaugh examines this ancient value system and how it influenced the culture of the Biblical world, and illuminates how it plays a crucial role in today's socio-political climate.
Recommended Books
The Letters to Seven Churches: Updated Edition
by W. M. Ramsay
This edited and updated edition of Ramsay's classic work has, except for the omission of a lengthy poem in chapter 14, left the original material intact. The language and style were updated for the modern reader, modern place names were used, and a modern translation is the source of scripture citations.
A Guide to Biblical Sites in Greece and Turkey
by Clyde E. Fant and Mitchell Reddish
In A Guide to Biblical Sites in Greece and Turkey, two well-known, well-traveled biblical scholars offer a fascinating historical and archaeological guide to these sites. The authors reveal countless new insights into the biblical text while reliably guiding the traveler through every significant location mentioned in the Bible. The book completely traces the journeys of the Apostle Paul across Turkey (ancient Asia Minor), Greece, Cyprus, and all the islands of the Mediterranean.
The HarperCollins Visual Guide to the New Testament: What Archaeology Reveals about the First Christians
by Jonathan Reed
This one-of-a-kind presentation of the New Testament world and its archaeological treasures provides a new, more complete understanding of the world in which Christianity was born. Through lavish photographs, architectural plans, extensive maps, and detailed charts, you can explore the landscape of Nazareth where Jesus grew up; sit at the shores of Galilee where he preached; and enter the streets and temple of Jerusalem where his ministry was fulfilled.
Ephesos, Metropolis of Asia: An Interdisciplinary Approach to Its Archaeology, Religion, and Culture (Harvard Theological Studies)
by Helmut Koester, ed.
This volume brings together studies of Ephesos--a major city in the Greco-Roman period and a primary center for the spread of Christianity into the Western world--by an international array of scholars from the fields of classics, fine arts, history of religion, New Testament, ancient Christianity, and archaeology.
Jewish Communities in Asia Minor (Society for New Testament Studies Monograph Series)
by Paul Trebilco
Scholarly assessment of Jewish communities in the Hellenistic and Graeco-Roman Diaspora has, in the past, been dominated by our knowledge of the large and influential communities in Rome and Alexandria. This book brings together the evidence for significant Jewish communities in another part of the Diaspora, namely Asia Minor. By collating archaeological, epigraphic, classical, New Testament and patristic sources, the book provides an invaluable and coherent description of the life of Jewish communities in Asia Minor, and so gives a more complete picture than was previously available of Jewish life at the time.
In Search of Paul: How Jesus' Apostle Opposed Rome's Empire with God's Kingdom
by John Dominic Crossan and Jonathan Reed
Crossan and Reed make a compelling case for the idea that culture, politics and quest for empire played as large a part in the formation of the Apostle Paul as did theology and religious training. It is an approach that will leave some wondering just how much of a role spirituality played in the Paul story.
Classical Turkey (Architectural Guides for Travelers)
by John Freely
You don't need to be a student of architecture to find this book useful for planning what ancient sites you want to see while in Turkey. If you're planning to visit Ephesus (Efes) without a tour guide, then the maps, site details and site history in this book are invaluable. For other sites, sketches and photos help you envision what the lumps of dirt you're looking at once were! For architecture novices, there is a handy glossary of common terms.
Pisidian Antioch
by Stephen Mitchell
Pisidian Antioch was the most important colony in the eastern Roman Empire. This study, based on a two-season survey, traces the monumental development of the city from the 2nd century BC to Byzantine times against a backdrop of political history and forms a sequence to the same author's Cremna in Pisidia.
Art and Judaism in the Greco-Roman World: Toward a New Jewish Archaeology
by Steven Fine
Art and Judaism During the Greco-Roman Period explores the Jewish experience with art during the Greco-Roman period-from the Hellenistic period through the rise of Islam. It starts from with the premise that Jewish art in antiquity was a "minority" or "ethnic" art and surveys ways that Jews fully participated in, transformed, and at times rejected the art of their general environment.
Imperial Cults and the Apocalypse of John: Reading Revelation in the Ruins
by Steven Friesen
After more than a century of debate about the significance of imperial cults for the interpretation of Revelation, this is the first study to examine both the archaeological evidence and the Biblical text in depth. Friesen argues that a detailed analysis of imperial cults as they were practiced in the first century CE in the region where John was active allows us to understand John's criticism of his society's dominant values.

More than 25 years ago, Kundan Sabarwal opened the doors of a modest 400-square-foot skincare spa in New Delhi, working diligently to gently and efficiently eradicate her clients' unwanted body hair through a blend of ancient techniques and modern indulgences. With a bit of hard-earned success, Ziba Beauty hopped the pond, eventually expanding to 17 locations in two U.S. states. Each studio embraces American style while retaining its overseas roots, amplifying faces and bodies with traditional Indian cosmetic adornment and hair removal. By rolling small loops of cotton thread over brows and other facial areas, threading specialists can remove pesky fuzz without harming the skin or skipping over fine hairs. For more sizeable zones, Sumita Wax, which was developed in India exclusively for Ziba Beauty, quickly sends errant hairs packing on the face and body. Artistic hands ink bodies with the ornate semipermanent designs of traditional mehndi, or cloak clients in sparkle with intricate art in a choice of 32 glitter mehndi colors and shimmering crystals, readying skin for special events better than a full-body tuxedo tattoo.
Plush, black chairs line the walls at Greatest Nails & Spa, cushioning clients as licensed manicurists and aestheticians pamper them from head to toe. An expansive menu of nail services cossets cuticles and keratin on hands and feet, augmenting mani-pedis with more than a dozen add-ons such as paraffin dips and 3-D designs. Enriching skin treatments and facials enlist Oro Gold, a nontoxic line of skincare products infused with 24-karat gold, to stimulate blood circulation and help coordinate complexions with ornate palace ceilings. The salon also facilitates group pampering with gatherings targeted toward bachelorette and bridal parties, as well as kid-centric soirees for girls aged 12 and younger.
In a new crimson-trimmed interior, Sense of Joy Spa's licensed technicians balance inner tranquility and outer beauty with doting spa services that employ Guinot skincare products. The revitalizing European facial begins with gentle cleansers that trail across lips, noses, eyes, the décolleté, and second noses, succeeded by exfoliation and extractions as needed. Staffers knead away tension holed up in shoulders, necks, and upper arms before brewing a mask customized to specific epidermal types and afflictions. Sultry pouts and stressed-out peepers steep in a beautifying elixir while employees shift their focus to hands and feet.
Computers drove Flora Low to her career in the beauty industry. Armed with a degree in graphic design, Flora spent the first 25 years of her career with a printing company, but became increasingly dismayed by the amount of time she had to devote to mastering new computer technologies. She decided she wanted out and turned to a career in the beauty industry, partly because she wanted a career that revolved around personal interactions and partly because she didn?t want to work with any more computers. Now, at her own spa and salon, the aesthetician relies on her keen sense of design to help clients achieve flattering, natural looks using permanent makeup, noninvasive cellulite treatments, and rejuvenating facials.
The spa?s facial treatments can use specialized combinations of masks or exfoliating peels, imbuing cheekbones with a glow more youthful than that of a baby chandelier. For a more dramatic effect, the aestheticians can also apply permanent makeup to eye lines, lips, or brows. A permanent-makeup session with Flora requires a two-hour consultation to determine the perfect brow arch or lip line.
Though the spa always emphasizes that personal touch, the staff nonetheless employs an arsenal of aesthetic technology, as it recognizes that sometimes you need a little advanced machinery to achieve your beauty goals. Thus, technicians wield cellulite-reducing Starvac SP equipment to help tone the body and the CryoProbe cryotherapy machine to minimize the appearance of hyperpigmentation and blemishes.
The technicians at USA Beauty Group have a vast arsenal of beauty techniques and they aren't afraid to use it. Their specialty, Ultherapy, triggers the body's natural healing process to improve the look of loose or sagging skin with an ultrasound wand that encourages collagen growth. They also work with Botox, Restylane, Dysport, and other dermal fillers that can reduce the appearance of wrinkles on the face or on the hand you use too often to wave "hello." Other skincare treatments range from vitamin-enriched facials to hair-targeting waxing services.

This week, President Obama mentioned gay marriage in his inaugural speech. He stated, "[o]ur journey is not complete until our gay brothers and sisters are treated like anyone else under the law—for if we are truly created equal, then surely the love we commit to one another must be equal as well." Lots of children watched the speech, more so this year than usual because it fell on a school holiday. Earlier in the week, NBC Nightly News covered a story about marriage equality laws in the US. Children, particularly children in elementary school and older, are listening to these snippets of the gay marriage debate. Even if you don't talk about the topic at the dinner table, your kids likely know more about it than most parents assume.
After hearing the news coverage the other night, my own 8-year-old mentioned that gay people shouldn't marry because they can't reproduce. I was taken aback, not knowing where she picked this up – and realizing she was taking the exact opposite position I would have taught. She heard this somewhere, I am not she even really understand the concept of reproduction. She was saying a sound bite. With her still-developing brain, she struggles to understand an abstract political concept. Even when kids know someone who is gay or lesbian, they may not understand how a political issue relates to real people.

A funny thing happened on the way to Singlespeed World Championships in Alaska this summer, but not, like, funny ha-ha. It involved several days in the hospital, not because I hucked some monster gap jump at The Lumberyard and cased it. I wish it had been something epic, something noteworthy. But no. I, the Viking Biking Shield Maiden, was taken out of commission by a common house cat. Granted, this particular cat turned out to be downright venomous—a furry snake for all intents and purposes—and to add insult to injury the little bastard...read more
Friends laugh when I say I need to ride or I'm "not right in the head", but I realized some time ago, riding isn't an addiction. And it's no longer about sublimation of darker energies. It's just necessary. Like water. Food. Shelter. Oxygen. Love. If I could re-do Maslow's basic human needs chart, I'd be sure to put a bike at the base of the pyramid. And at the apex. And at every level in between the two.read more
Every mountain biker does it at one point or another. We forget something critical to our highly anticipated epic MTB ride and don't discover our error until we arrive at the trailhead—often after a long drive—open the trunk and feel our heart sinks with the realization…we forgot X. No ride for you. Do not pass go. Do not shred. This time, it was my turn. As I rolled into the parking lot at Sandy Ridge, the sun was shining, the sky a dreamy, cloudless blue. Birds chirped overhead. Spring was springing. I grinned in anticipation,...read more
Last week I attended the cycling industry season kick off known as the Sea Otter Classic, and am at this very moment penning a riveting accounting of that event.

Megavalanche has been on my bucket list since I first started getting into mountain biking. It's a brutally demanding marathon downhill style mountain bike race across technical terrain through the French Alps, including a section that rolls through the infamous Alpe d'Huez.

N+1. It's a pithy formula which jokingly points out how many bikes one should have. Non-cyclists won't understand the need for having a bike quiver. I know quite a number of people who collect bikes not just to satisfy some personal fetish, but to preserve the rich history of cycling. Most of the people I know who love riding have multiple bikes for a different reason: N+1 = the right tool for the job. Minimalists will argue that no one needs more than one bike. That may be true if your entire relationship to cycling is just to...read more

Antibiotics during pregnancy: Are they safe?
I am 25 weeks pregnant and got a bad case of the flu. I now have an upper respiratory infection and my doctor wants to treat it with antibiotics. Are these safe for me to take?Question:
Peg Plumbo CNM
Peg Plumbo has been a certified nurse-midwife (CNM) since 1976. She has assisted at over 1,000 births and currently teaches in the... Read more
Most upper respiratory infections are viral in origin and antibiotics will have no effect. The medical community is trying to reduce the frequency of prescriptions for antibiotics as well as choose types which are less broad in their application. Microbial resistance poses a major threat to the public health and to future generations.
We have known for years that babies whose mother receive certain antibiotics are at higher risk for fungal or yeast infections after birth as well as dehydration from drug induced diarrhea. Healthy full term babies usually do well despite these occurrences, but stressed or preterm babies often do not.
In a recent issue of the American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, it was reported that an astounding 46% of the mothers in the study received some type of antibiotic during their pregnancies or during labor. Babies who were exposed to these medications had a decreased ability to fight off infection. Almost half of them were resistant to Ampicillin, a commonly used broad spectrum antibiotic.
Protocols do vary from site to site but routine antibiotics are generally given to mothers in labor if they have had a positive culture for group B beta strep during their pregnancy or if they are in preterm labor. Such medications are also given to mothers if rupture of membranes has occurred and the baby is not delivered by 18 hours after this event.
Other indications for antibiotic use is maternal fever, fetal heart rate over 160 or malodorous amniotic fluid. The study points out that antibiotics should not be withheld from such mothers but the authors felt that such usage could be reduced by at least five percent. They suggest that penicillin and similar drugs should be the antibiotics of choice. These drugs kill fewer organisms than broad-spectrum antibiotics such as ampicillin, so there is a reduced risk that infants will develop antibiotic resistance.
I would recommend that you ask your care provider to justify the use of such medications in the light that most upper respiratory infections are viral in nature and will therefore not respond to antibiotics.Answer:

MBIA Still Carries Complexity Discount: Street Whispers
Bank of America could settle with MBIA any day, or it could drag the case on for another couple of years. In the meantime, look for an upgrade for MBIA's parent company from Moody's Investor Service in the near term. The bond rating agency downgraded MBIA Nov. 19, citing the cross-default threat, but said it would consider reversing the downgrade if MBIA could amend its bonds to delink the parent and MBIA Insurance. That's what MBIA accomplished on Monday. A Moody's upgrade would merely be an acknowledgement of that fact. Still, assuming the upgrade comes, it will likely spark another rally in MBIA shares--a reflection of how poorly the market understands the issues surrounding MBIA.
That lack of understanding suggests an opportunity for investors, and one that may be particularly attractive since it has relatively little to do with what happens with the economy.

Editor's Note: This column previously appeared in Bridge Magazine.
Editor's Note: This column previously appeared in Bridge Magazine.
Steven Brill's article on health care costs in the March 4 issue of Time magazine is the talk of the town in health care. While journalists have generally praised the piece, reactions from those in health care have been mixed. The American Hospital Association critiqued a number of Brill's major points in a fact sheet, Setting the Record Straight on TIME's Article "Bitter Pill."
The Supreme Court's June 2012 decision on the constitutionality of the Affordable Care Act made the Medicaid expansion—a cornerstone of the coverage expansion included in the law—an option rather than a requirement for states. To help Michigan policy makers make an informed decision on that expansion, we published a brief on the economic impact of the Medicaid expansion in Michigan. That brief noted under the most likely scenario, Michigan would save almost $1 billion over 10 years if it chose to expand Medicaid as contemplated in the ACA.
In many respects, the Affordable Care Act is a law about health care coverage. It is designed to expand coverage, mostly by using two tools: (1) the requirement for individuals to have/purchase health coverage or face tax penalties (known as the individual mandate), and (2) the expansion of Medicaid eligibility to all with incomes at or below 138 percent of poverty.
When we think of two-tiered care in America, we most often think of the "haves" and "have nots": those who are covered by health insurance and those who are not. But there is a different way to look at this question, and it may take being outside the U.S. to see it that way.
Since the Supreme Court ruling on the Affordable Care Act (ACA), the discussion about Medicaid has largely focused on a choice states now have: whether or not to expand coverage to those at or below 138 percent of poverty. This issue is extremely important because of the impact it could have on those who are uninsured today.
It is difficult to find an issue that is more politically contentious than health care; particularly the policy changes and programs that are needed to assure that Americans have access to needed care. The liberal position tends to see health care as a right, and seeks a strong centralized public role in assuring that all Americans have access to the same kinds of benefits and care. The conservative position sees fiscal and personal responsibility as the top priorities; tending to favor decentralized, private market solutions.
In early August, when the debt ceiling agreement was reached, many news reports noted the agreement did nothing to address core reasons for the debt, namely: Social Security, Medicaid and Medicare. Indeed, nearly every article written about the debt ceiling talked about the need to "deal with" (aka: cut) Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security.
Recently, 29 Republican governors sent a letter to the President and Congress advocating for more flexibility in the Medicaid program and a full repeal of the Affordable Care Act. The principles endorsed by these 29 governors (which notably did not include Governor Snyder of Michigan) essentially supported the concept of a block grant for the Medicaid program.

Stop Warner Bros. from cutting The Joker scenes!
Hello, me and a lot of other people are offended at the idea of some of The Joker scenes being cut out of The Dark Knight, due out on July 18. The deal is, there is a scene where The Joker pretends that he is dead and he is placed in a bodybag, and due to the fact Heath Ledger is dead, it has become a bit controversial. Please help us get WB to keep this scene and others in the movie and let all the world see how hard Mr. Ledger worked on his iconic performance.

The sign of an ace, is a pitcher who can come in and stop a losing streak, on demand, by single handedly taking over a game.
John Lannan did just that Saturday night, earning his first complete game. In nine innings he allowed just four hits and one un-earned run, completely baffling the Mets batters, drawing five double plays.
He finally once again looked like the John Lannan from last year that is a bulldog on the mound, thriving in pressure situations, using his great sinker action to demand ground balls.
Five double plays, when only allowing seven total base runners, shows a true ability to dictate the game. He said later that his sinker felt on from the beginning, and it showed.
The Nats gave him an early lead as well, which helped. The team combined for two, three-run innings. In the first Ryan Zimmerman singled in Nick Johnson from second base, and the next at bat Adam Dunn ended his powerless streak with a two-run homer to deep right.
In the fifth perhaps two of the most surprising people in the Nats line up to walk, John Lannan and Cristian Guzman, did. Nick Johnson, continuing his audition with the Mets, smacked a homer to drive them all in.
Elijah Dukes also hit a homer in the fourth inning.

Satisfying Salad
Submitted by LaEnsalada on August 25, 2009 - 12:06pm
This salad is filling and also very easy to make. The ingredients were all things I happened to have in my fridge. The macadamia oil can be substituted for any other type of oil but I really like how the macadamia flavor goes with the other ingredients.

My favorite place to stay............from bdailey1
You get what you pay for...from jdoexyz
When we checked in at around 5.30pm, we were told there were no king non-smoking rooms available - although that was what we'd booked - and would we take two queens instead? Not our first choice, but okay, we're flexible... We then asked for a North Tower room, knowing they were nicer than the South Tower ones, but alas, our cheap rate applied to the South Tower only. The next disappointment was finding that we would be on the second floor - ie. level with an adjacent roof, with no view except of that roof. You never feel quite as safe when someone can walk up to your window... but like I said, we're not overly fussy and didn't really want to make waves. It was one night and it was dirt cheap and we just wanted to get to the room.
The room itself was adequate. Quite large, but getting a bit ratty around the edges. Marks on the carpet, beds with scuffed and stained bases, a chipped table. Older style bathroom with scratchy towels.
Housekeeping had done an okay job of cleaning, but you can't remove all the signs of wear and tear.
None of which is intended as a major complaint... we knew the hotel was older, we knew the South Tower rooms weren't as nice, we were prepared for a few scratches and scrapes. Downtown was interesting, and I understand why people like it, but I think we're Strip people at heart - so we'd be unlikely to stay at the LVC again. For the same money, we could have had another night at the Stratosphere, which was much newer and nicer - with friendlier staff.

Top Local Tips for Las Vegas
Fremont Street. All the gambling you can ask for in a few walkable blocks. Much easier to get around than on the strip. You can walk from one casino to another in seconds and there are many of them clsoe together on Fremont Street. Lots of quality restaurants in the hotel/casinos. So there's no reason not to park at the beginning of your stay and walk everywhere until it's time to drive off.
Big Elvis Go see Big Elvis at Bills Gamblin Hall, formerly Barbary Coast. It is a free show in the afternoons and he is great.
Visiting Vegas by car If you are visiting Vegas by car and want to make a few side trips, consider using a downtown Hotel as your base. Its much much easier to go back and forth between your car and your room in the smaller downtown casinos than it is at the big monster sized resorts on the strip. So stay downtown and just drive and park at one of the big resorts when you want to visit the strip. Pick a resort on the west side of the strip since you can access the parking lots from Industrial Road which will not be near as congested when the strip is gridlocked with traffic.

3 Biotech Stocks Rising on Big Volume
WINDERMERE, Fla. ( Stockpickr) -- Professional traders running mutual funds and hedge funds don't just look at a stock's price moves; they also track big changes in volume activity. Often when above-average volume moves into an equity, it precedes a large spike in volatility.
Major moves in volume can signal unusual activity, such as insider buying or selling -- or buying or selling by "superinvestors."
>>5 Stocks With Major Insider Buying
Unusual volume can also be a major signal that hedge funds and momentum traders are piling into a stock ahead of a catalyst. These types of traders like to get in well before a large spike, so it's always a smart move to monitor unusual volume. That said, remember to combine trend and price action with unusual volume. Put them all together to help you decipher the next big trend for any stock.With that in mind, let's take a look at several stocks rising on unusual volume today. >>5 Hated Stocks Poised to Pop on Earnings Optimer Pharmaceuticals Optimer Pharmaceuticals (OPTR) is a biopharmaceutical company focused on discovering, developing and commercializing anti-infective products. This stock is trading up 12% at $12.01 in recent trading. Today's Volume: 2.80 million Average Volume: 608,811 Volume % Change: 679% Shares of OPTR are soaring higher today after the firm said it was exploring a possible sale of the company among a full range of alternatives and replaced its CEO as part of a review of compliance issues. >>4 Biotech Stock Stars Losing Their Luster From a technical perspective, OPTR is gapping sharply higher here right above some near-term support at $10.70 with massive upside volume. This move has briefly pushed OPTR back above its 200-day moving average of $12.61, but it has since then pulled back to around $12. At last check, OPTR has hit an intraday high of $12.74, and volume is well above its three-month average action of 608,811 shares. Traders should now look for long-biased trades in OPTR as long as it's trending above $12 to its 200-day at $12.61 with strong upside volume flows. I would consider any upside volume day that registers near or above its three-month average action of 608,811 shares as bullish. If OPTR can maintain that trend, then this stock will set up to re-test or possibly take out its next major overhead resistance levels at $14 to $15.

This recipe was O.K., but the next time I want a chili dog, I will just get carry out from the nearest Coney Island.
By baker@heart
on February 24, 2012
The recipe is really good, but I made a few changes to suit my family's taste. I added significantly more chili powder (probably about 6 T. total, about 2-3 t. of cumin, and it didn't need extra salt because of the salt in the ketchup. Overall, it was really good and the best hot dog chili recipe I've found. It's very easy and simple but definitely needs an adjustment in spices.

To save energy, fry the ground beef, then when it is about halfway done, add the onion and garlic. Use one can tomato paste and one can tomato sauce and one diced fresh tomato instead of ketchup. Also, grill the hot dogs without boiling them. They will have much more grilled flavor. Brush the hot dog buns with mustard instead of olive oil and do not toast. There is plenty of salt and pepper in the mustard, tomato paste and sauce, so any more is not necessary.
