I've never liked Hiro. He appeared too laid back and unkempt (haircut dude! haircut!), plus the supposedly callous treatment of Shouko turned me off. But the flashblack in Asatte no Houkou 08 changed that. Here's a man who unconditionally loved a stranger as imouto and shelved his life to devote himself in the care of her. The amazing thing was he decided to do so upon first setting eyes on Karada and affirming that choice with the above embrace. Absolutely superhuman for one who just lost his parents himself. Granted, Karada is a wonderful soul worthy of such selfless love but Hiro's still utterly admirable.
I finally found someone who could complete for the place that Shirakawa Kotori occupies in my heart. Lovely as adult Karada may be, her physical beauty is but a diminished transmission of the true inner beauty, an unblemished soul. It hurts me so much that Karada shed not a tear during the passing of the step-parents, both at the hospital or funeral. Knowing Karada, she's probably telling herself to be strong (as she was before the start of the flashback in ep 08) and not burden anyone anymore. But came Hiro and his instant loving acknowledgement of Karada as sister melted Karada's will as she allowed herself to be vulnerable once more. Yes, she's lost her parents but she's found a brother. Such is the bittersweetness of Karada's tears, the strength of their first embrace.
Where Karada and Hiro have an outward looking, almost divine love, centred not on self but the other, Shouko is only mortal. We see Karada striving to release Hiro but Shouko pursuing him to account for his deeds. I understand Shouko's bitterness but also know she knows nothing of the altruistic love that binds Hiro/Karada. Sure, she's seeing some of it and her concept of love is evolving. Her genuine blessing of Hiro in ep 7 is a important step in shaping her views on love and Hiro's past action is made clearer with the revealing worthiness/loveliness of Karada. Nevertheless, given her outburst in ep 9, I'd say she will never be able to fully grasp the lofty love that Hiro/Karada enjoy.
The preview for ep 10 suggests that Karada finally falls in love (let's remember Karada now has related hormones). It's ambiguous at this time if it'd be Tetsu (a very worthy suitor indeed) or (*gasp! siscon ewww!*) Hiro that Karada's heart aches/yearns for. Personally, I'd never accept anything other than a Hiro X Karada end. No other coupling in the story comes close to the the level of their relationship. Not Tetsu X Karada (despite Tetsu's very persistent and consistent fledgling love for Karada), not Shouko X Hiro (even with their previous relationship.) I don't care if people call me a pedosisphile or the police,
I need a wishing stone.

Fat is Fat, Right? Check Your Omegas!
By Juliet M. Getty, Ph.D.
Fat is an excellent source of calories – more than twice the calories offered by carbohydrates or protein, making it a great way to help your horse meet his energy needs while in training, working, or performing. Unlike sugary and starchy feeds like oats, sweet feeds, or grain-based products, fat doesn't create insulin highs and lows, it doesn't produce negative behavior, it doesn't increase laminitis risk, and it doesn't destroy the microbial population in the hind gut. But are all fat sources created equally? Read on…
Omegas – 3, 6, 9
First, what does "omega" mean anyway? It's basically a numbering classification based on how fats are chemically configured. This has an influence on how the fat is metabolized, consequently affecting cells and tissues differently. The fat that you add to your horse's diet (such as soybean oil, corn oil, flaxseed oil, etc.) provides a combination of these three omega types. The key is to know which types are in the highest concentration. Here's why…
There are two fatty substances, one omega 3 and one omega 6, that are considered "essential," meaning the horse's body cannot produce them. Therefore, they must be in the diet. Chemically, they are considered "polyunsaturated." Omega 6s, while important, should not exceed omega 3s, because too many omega 6s increase inflammation. If your horse suffered an injury, has aging joints, exercises regularly, or has an ulceration in his digestive tract, his inflammation level is already elevated. Feeding too much omega 6s will exacerbate this situation and result in more pain.
Omega 3s, on the other hand, do the reverse… they decrease inflammation. They do a lot of other beneficial things too, such as:
· balancing the immune system
· protecting joints and ligaments
· decreasing nervousness
· improving heart and blood vessel health
· reducing skin allergies
· diminishing airway inflammation
· supporting normal gastrointestinal function
· maintaining hair and hoof health
· improving sperm motility and speed
Omegas 9s are chemically "monounsaturated." Though there is not much research on their effect in horses, human-based studies reveal that they have a protective effect on the heart, brain, and blood vessels.
Know your fat sources
Balancing omegas is easy to do once you know the proportion of each type of fat in common sources. For example, fresh, healthy pasture contains approximately 4 times more omega 3s than omega 6s, making it a perfect food. Commercially fortified feeds, however, often add "vegetable oil" which is usually soybean oil or corn oil. The omega 6 content of each of these two oils is more than 50%, making them poor choices when trying to reduce inflammation. To balance these oils, you can add sources that are very high in omega 3s, such as flaxseed meal, flaxseed oil, or Chia seeds. Fish oils are also predominantly omega 3s, but their use should be limited since horses are not fish eaters.
Balance your oils
To feed flaxseed meal or Chia seeds, it is best to limit the amount fed to no more than 1/2 cup per 400 lbs of body weight (120 ml per 180 kg of body weight). The dosage for flaxseed oil should be 1.5 tablespoons per 400 lbs of body weight (22.5 ml per 180 kg body weight).
When feeding oils that are high in omega 6s, such as soybean, corn, and wheat germ oils, they should not exceed the amount of omega 3 sources. Even though soybean oil has about 7% omega 3s, the vast majority of its content is from omega 6s. And, if your horse requires more fat than these can offer, you can safely add rice bran oil (high in omega 9s). Finally, it's best to avoid coconut oil and animal fat. These contain too much saturated fat and horses are just not designed to handle these feed sources.
Not all equines are the same
Depending on the health status, exercise level, and condition of your horse, supplementation of fat may be beneficial. But other equines such as ponies, minis, donkeys, and mules cannot tolerate the high levels horses can. They require some fat, but generally 1/3 to 1/2 the amount given to horses.
Remember, fat needs to be in your horse's diet, but not all fats are the same. Though they all provide the same number of calories, each fat source has its own individual omega profile, impacting your horse's overall health.

Helpful supplements
April 2011 Forage for Thought
If your horse does not get fresh, healthy pasture for at least 8 hours each day, you'll want to consider adding flaxseed meal to your horse's diet. The simplest way to do this is to add:
· Nutra Flax (Horsetech): http://gettyequinenutrition.biz/products/nutraflax.htm This product contains only flaxseed meal (with a slight amount of calcium to correct for the naturally inverted calcium to phosphorus ratio found in flaxseeds). It is stabilized against rancidity for 6 months when stored in a cool, dry place.
If your horse is predominantly on hay and is not supplemented with vitamins and minerals from other sources, or you are feeding a commercially fortified feed, just not as much as recommended, consider adding a flaxseed meal based supplement:
· Glanzen Complete or Glanzen Lite Complete (custom product made by Horsetech to fill in nutritional gaps found in hay). http://gettyequinenutrition.biz/products/glanzencomplete.htm or http://gettyequinenutrition.biz/products/glanzenlitecomplete.htm
· Both Glanzen Complete and Glanzen Lite Complete can be made without selenium. This is beneficial if your horse is already receiving selenium from another source or your hay/pasture contains sufficient amounts of this mineral.
If your horse does have access to fresh pasture, and therefore receives the vitamins that are not found in hay, you can use the original versions (not the Complete versions) of Glanzen and Glanzen Lite:
· http://gettyequinenutrition.biz/products/glanzen.htm
· http://gettyequinenutrition/products/glanzenlite.htm
Finally, for a flaxseed meal based supplement that also offers joint protection, consider Reitsport (Horsetech). It comes in the original version, as well as with added hyaluronic acid, or a lite version. For hay only diets, consider the Complete versions. They can all be found at: http://gettyequinenutrition.biz/reitsportproductpage.htm

Despite those flaws, Politico did find a bit of interesting agreement between Washington's elite and the rest of the land.
When asked to identify the most important issue facing the country, 52 percent of elites and 48 percent of respondents from the rest of the country identified the economy and jobs.That's encouraging—though "the economy and jobs" could mean different things to different people.
Well done to Politico for the good idea and the interesting poll, and the stark reminder that where you stand really does depend on where you sit.

What's eating your prize carrots? Get answers from scientists at BBC Gardeners' World 2010
31 March 2010
Gardeners who have felt the pain at finding pests have ravaged their best flowers or that carefully nurtured vegetables have fallen victim to disease can get help from world-leading UK scientists this summer.
The Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC), the UK's biggest funder of research in food and agriculture, will be exhibiting at the BBC Gardeners' World Live event at the NEC, 16-20 June 2010 with a display to explain and engage visitors about the bioscience behind gardening and garden pests and diseases - and BBSRC experts want to see your diseased or pest riddled carrots, cucumbers, tomatoes and dahlias.
As part of the exhibit BBSRC scientists will be running regular surgeries where visitors can bring plants, vegetables or just questions to receive advice on the science behind the pests and diseases spoiling their efforts and possible ways to tackle problems. Scientists from world-renowned BBSRC Institutes, such as Rothamsted Research and the John Innes Centre, and university research groups will be taking part over the five days of the show.
Joining the scientists will be ground staff who have the job of providing the perfect plants, crops and flowers for scientific study. These plants are being used by BBSRC researchers to help understand plant biology and to offer ways of averting a crisis in food security. It is critical those plants are grown in the best way possible and these vital members of the BBSRC team will be on hand to pass on their advice and expertise.
Dr Patrick Middleton, BBSRC Head of Public Engagement, said: "The BBSRC exhibition will engage visitors with the importance of plant science and horticulture research to all of us. From helping gardeners grow their own vegetables to putting safe, nutritious and affordable fruit and vegetables on our tables, bioscience touches our lives every day.
"The science going on in your garden or allotment is fascinating. We want to help gardeners understand the science that is going on when the fruits of their labour are lost to blight or aphid attack. BBSRC is bringing some of the world's best plant scientists to the NEC for BBC Gardener's World Live in June to help to provide the answers.
"But we need help from the UK's gardeners - if you are losing your fruit, veg or flowers to pests or disease we need you to bring samples to our surgeries at the show so our scientists can examine them and explain what is going on."
BBSRC will be exhibiting at stand G732 on each day of BBC Gardener's World Live, 16-20 June 2010. BBSRC speakers will also be giving talks on the science of garden pests and diseases at the show's RHS Ask the Experts Theatre at 2pm on Thursday 17 June and at 3.15pm on Sunday 20 June.

Everything I read says it takes 2-5 years to recover from an affair. I've talked to people who went on to have successful relationships/marriages with other people after they were betrayed and it impacts them with the NEW person even though the NEW person has never given them any reason to distrust. So...that is something to consider. There may be a part of BS that never gets over it.
Be happy with what you have while you work for what you want - Hellen Keller
You're there for her, right? Do you listen to her, show her empathy, hold her? Do the same here. And when these triggers come, apologize to her for causing her so much pain. Don't be afraid to apologize and to listen. Show her you're there for her "in sickness and in health". If that's where your heart is, don't be afraid to do it. Especially do a lot of listening. It's one of the best ways to show you're THERE with her.
Wish you both healing.

I had *both* dishwashers and has suffered through nearly a dozen service calls between the two, not resolved yet. :( But I was just notified by my local repair service that last week (1st week of February 2013) Samsung released a NEW CONTROL PANEL with an additional resistor. If you've paid for service or are still trying to get your dishwasher repaired, this resistor may be the answer to your problems, and you may want to give them a call. Ask for Executive Service. Seems similar to issue with the samsung tv capacitor settlement - hopefully samsung will help you without needing a judge to get involve to help them understand what good service involves! |

The individual health care mandate is a public policy issue. Therefore, Mitt Romney has taken positions on both sides of it in the past few years:
Massachusetts also proved that you don't need government insurance. Our citizens purchase private, free-market medical insurance. There is no "public option." With more than 1,300 health insurance companies, a federal government insurance company isn't necessary. It would inevitably lead to massive taxpayer subsidies, to lobbyist-inspired coverage mandates and to the liberals' dream: a European-style single-payer system. To find common ground with skeptical Republicans and conservative Democrats, the president will have to jettison left-wing ideology for practicality and dump the public option.
Our experience also demonstrates that getting every citizen insured doesn't have to break the bank. First, we established incentives for those who were uninsured to buy insurance. Using tax penalties, as we did, or tax credits, as others have proposed, encourages "free riders" to take responsibility for themselves rather than pass their medical costs on to others. This doesn't cost the government a single dollar. Second, we helped pay for our new program by ending an old one — something government should do more often. The federal government sends an estimated $42 billion to hospitals that care for the poor: Use those funds instead to help the poor buy private insurance, as we did. … One thing is certain: The president must insist on a program that doesn't add to our spending burden.
Maybe I'd just missed it, but I hadn't heard about this 2009 USA Today op-ed before. In this age of the Internet preserving everything, you'd have thought that it would have been on every anti-Romney ad all season long.

Rosebud Salve Featured On Vogue.com! » -
Shop the full Rosebud Salve collection here!
Great beauty brands come from all corners of the world and we like to think we carry the best of them right here at b-glowing. However, because we just celebrated our countries Independence Day Vogue.com decided to pay tribute to 10 beauty brands that are 'Born in the USA.' Some of them big and well known while others like Rosebud Perfume Company are a little smaller but have reached an iconic status amongst it's beauty junkie cult followers because of their amazing multi-purpose lip salve that can soothe chapped lips, minor burns and irritated skin, diaper rash and the horrible dry elbow. Simply choose your favorite flavor like strawberry or the original scent and watch Rosebud Salve works it's miracle magic!
There's no time like summer to break out those bright popsicle and sherbet shades. Neon knows no boundaries so feel free to apply on nails, eyelids and lips! However, a little word to the wise, just like jewelry it's a good idea to choose one area to focus your beauty statement rather than choosing all three. A turquoise eye, hot pink cheek and bright orange lip might be a little overkill, unless you're walking on a runway. Here are a few fun high voltage shades to adorn yourself with this summer season…
Make an eye-popping statement with By Terry Ombre Blackstar in Fizzy Jade Or Paradise Island. These crayon inspired eye shadows can literally be drawn on for precise contouring as well as easily blended out to create more of a smoky look. Both of these shades remind me of the sea with Fizzy Jade being a gorgeous soft green and Paradise Island a turquoise blue. They're made with pearl proteins, present in the form of micronized powder which allows for a creamy, melt away eyeshadow that creates a lifting light effect and has infallible hold.
Lips are meant to be noticed. Forego your neutral soft pink gloss and go high octave with staff favorite Ilia Lipstick in Neon Angel. We can't get enough of fuchsia this season and when it's this easy to apply and consists of organic ingredients that tint and condition our skin it's a beauty junkie no brainer.
First looks at the outer packaging of Armour Beauty Lucy Opaque Lip Gloss initially frightened me. It. Is. So. Orange. However, I pushed past the initial fear and am so glad I did. Let's just say everybody at the office was asking me what gloss I was wearing. It doesn't go as bold as what you'd think but still gives a highly pigmented coral orange shade in it's wake. Totally in love with this Lucille Ball inspired gloss!
Actress and singer Miley Cyrus is a big fan of RGB nail lacquers. She has been seen about hollywood land rocking many different shades but her favorite seems to be RGB's Minty. A very pretty mint green, robin's egg inspired shade that is oh so cute for summer!

Atlantic Lottery has been part of the fabric of Atlantic Canada for 35 years. But although Atlantic Canadians know of Atlantic Lottery, very few could tell you much about them - like who owns Atlantic Lottery, where their profits go and the impact they have on Atlantic Canada.
Atlantic Lottery partnered with Revolve and Digital Kitchen to create a platform where Atlantic Canadians could find answers they didn't even know they were looking for. AskAway.ca became the hub for an integrated campaign where Atlantic Canadians can ask Atlantic Lottery anything they want. Not what you might expect from a typical government institution is it?
Through TV, print and online Atlantic Canadians can explore stories, find answers, and most importantly, participate in a two-way conversation at AskAway.ca. We traveled throughout our region talking to Atlantic Canadians and asking what would you like to know about Atlantic Lottery? Their responses, both positive and negative, started the conversation and the answers are provided through the voices of Atlantic Canadians, not a corporation.
AskAway is more than a campaign. It's a connection between Atlantic Canadians and a corporation that exists to benefit them. As the campaign evolves, new stories and questions will bubble up to keep the conversation relevant and informative for everyone.

The Black Fire is a larger and versatile Jew's harp. Excellent for beginners through virtuosos with its easy playability and excellent flexibility.
The Jew's harp, or Jaw Harp, is a distinct instrument that has developed within Eastern Europe and Asia. These mouth harps have been handcrafted to the highest standards by Zoltan Szilágyi, who works out of a shop in Kecskemét, Hungary. Each instrument has been expertly tuned by Szilágyi himself, to ensure the greatest pitch accuracy possible.
The Jew's harp is thought to be one of the oldest instruments in human history, with an apparent image of a musician playing it dating to the 3rd century BC in China.
The Black Fire is available in Low E, C, D, E, F, B, High A and High G.
These are professional grade instruments which are not appropriate for young children's unsupervised use.

With less than a quarter of the original 68-team field remaining in the 2013 NCAA Tournament, let's take a look at some of the players that have stood out from the rest on Sweet Sixteen rosters…
Jeff Withey – Kansas – 16.5 PPG, 11.0 RPG, 1.5 APG, 6.0 BPG, 65.0 FG%
There's nothing flashy about the senior big man's game, but ask Kansas if they mind. Withey has been a beast on the defensive end and crashing the boards while converting with astonishing efficiency on the offensive end for the No. 1 seeded Jayhawks. If anyone was doubting Withey's worth as a first round pick in this June's NBA Draft, his first two games of the tournament should have put those doubts to rest.
Russ Smith – Louisville – 25.0 PPG, 1.5 RPG, 2.5 APG, 5.0 SPG, 54.8 FG%, 45.5 3PT%
He's been the best player on arguably the best team in the tournament so far (and the No. 1 overall team), and he's getting it done on both ends of the floor. Smith, a junior guard from Brooklyn, has created havoc on the defensive end (he had eight steals against No. 16 North Carolina A&T) while getting to the free throw line and knocking down 5-of-11 attempts from behind the arc. The Cardinals are way more than a one-man team, but in two tournament games so far, Russ Smith has been the catalyst for both Louisville's efficient offence and their swarming defence.
Sherwood Brown – Florida Gulf Coast – 20.5 PPG, 8.5 RPG, 1.5 APG, 1.5 SPG, 57.1 FG%, 55.6 3PT%
The Eagles have upset No. 2 Georgetown and No. 7 San Diego State thanks in large part to a total team effort (see honourable mentions below), but the face of their ultimate Cinderella run has been senior guard Sherwood Brown. Brown has been lights out on offence, where he's scored 41 points through two games while taking just 21 shots (call him the anti-Marshall Henderson), with his three-point efficiency especially standing out. The 21-year-old can space the floor for the high-powered FGCU offence, but he does a great job of mixing up his shot selection, as evidenced by his 12 free throw attempts against Georgetown. And in case you thought Brown was a strictly offensive threat, his team-leading 17 rebounds in the tournament and his season average of 6.6 say otherwise.
Arsalan Kazemi – Oregon – 9.5 PPG, 16.5 RPG, 2.5 APG, 2.0 SPG, 1.0 BPG, 53.3 FG%
The Iranian-born Kazemi, who fled to the U.S. when he was 17, has been a dominant force on the boards through two games for the Ducks. While he flirted with averaging a double-double in the pre-tournament portion of his senior season (9.3 PPG, 9.9 RPG), nobody saw the 33-rebound explosion of the last two games coming. The 6-7 forward is more than just a rebounding specialist for the underrated No. 12 Ducks though, as he never seems to force anything on the offensive end and has become a dependable option for Oregon.
Deshaun Thomas – Ohio State – 23.0 PPG, 4.0 RPG, 1.0 APG, 1.0 SPG, 61.5 FG%
Aaron Craft got all of the attention after hitting the game-winning three-pointer to carry Ohio State into the Sweet Sixteen, but make no mistake, Thomas has been the most valuable Buckeye through two games of the tournament. The junior forward has been virtually unstoppable on the offensive end (averaging 23 points on only 13 field goal attempts) while proving to be one of the anchors for Ohio State's impressive defence. If there is one complaint I have with Deshaun in the tournament so far though, it's his lack of rebounding after averaging over six per game in the regular season.
Honourable mentions
Bernard Thompson – Florida Gulf Coast – 23.0 PPG, 5.5 RPG, 1.5 APG, 3.0 SPG, 50.0 FG%
Vander Blue – Marquette – 22.5 PPG, 2.0 RPG, 1.0 APG, 2.5 SPG, 46.7 FG%, 50.0 3PT%
Brett Comer – Florida Gulf Coast – 11.0 PPG, 4.0 RPG, 12.0 APG, 1.0 SPG

Let them bring them forth
Not their reasons, as before, but their gods; let them cause them to come nigh, let them appear in court, and speak for themselves, when their worshippers have said all they can in defence of their deity: and show us what shall happen:
what shall come to pass hereafter; and by that prove their divinity; for none but God can foretell things to come with certainty; for everything else but what comes from God, by his prophets, is all conjecture, ambiguous, uncertain, mere juggle, trick, and deception, as were the oracles of the Heathens; but what is clearly and plainly foretold, and agreeably to the prediction comes to pass, is a proof of deity, and as such is here challenged. The "us" here, and the "we" in the following clauses, either design God, and the Christians, the true worshippers of him; or rather the three divine Persons in the Godhead, Father, Son, and Spirit, the one true God, in opposition to the gods of the Heathens. The Targum renders it,
``what shall happen to us:''let them show the former things what they be:

Disney Welcome Sign
This will be our third family trip and we have never driven under the big welcome sign. We are staying at Shades of Green and the last 2 times we went, when I put the address into my phone, it takes us in a back way behind MK and through all kinds of other backstage kinds of stuff. Can anyone give me directions to Shades of Green coming from the direction of Tallahassee that will take us past the sign?
Thanks! |
There are at least 3 entrance arches:
Coming down the Turnpike from I-75, the easiest one is Western Way. Exit the Tpke. at Toll 429 southbound, and the Disney World exit will be about 15 miles. Or for the original one, just stay on 429 one more exit to 192 east, and follow signs to WDW. |
From Tallahassee it is easy. Simply take I-10E to I-75S. I-75S to FL HWY 91 (Florida Turnpike, you'll see the signs to Orlando). Once you get to I-4, head West and follow the signs to the Magic Kingdom exit. Once on property, the signage is easy. Just follow the road to the Magic Kingdom resorts. Keep right at the toll booths (you won't pay, just tell them where you are going), so you can access the roads and not end up in the TTC parking lot.
Remember, people drove here before GPS and smart phones, so even if you wing it, you'll be fine :) Good luck and have fun! |
It is neat to drive under the sign.... you know you are really there!
Keep in mind, there is no stopping to take a picture... we always have the camera or iPhone ready to snap a quick one...... You are on a freeway with quick traffic and no areas to just pull over. We've seen people doing it and it's very dangerous..... |
I have always taken cruise transportation or ME and have never been able to snag that elusive front seat to get the pic of the entrance sign.
This year we are driving and if I have to slow down to 5 miles an hour or back up two or three times, I am going to get it.....I already have someone riding shotgun to take the pic, because I am driving that leg of the trip. |
Do NOT back up!!!! Take the second exit past the sign, drive over (under) the road you were on, get back on it going in the opposite direction, repeat when you get past tge sign and try again. Repeat as many times as necessary.
Don't slow down, either. |
We took a video of it on our last time through.....
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=60qBcO9JaYE |
Oh plus, the Orange County Sheriff patrol this road for speeders, so you might get stopped for impeding traffic. :upsidedow Good luck! |
That is what I get for posting at my local watering hole after a couple glasses of wine! |
Seriously, we're staying at Wyndham Bonnet Creek. Will we be going under the sign on the way there? We're probably coming from the Turnpike. Also, would we be going under the sign every time we leave the Disney area (grocery shopping or eating offsite)? |
If you enter thru a backstage area, you won't go thru an arch. |
Oh Please People!!!!
You do have to keep in mind the amount of traffic around you, but if it is a slow traffic time you can slow down (I don't suggest to 5 mph!) to grab a better picture!! We have done it more than once. Sometimes when we are coming thru there, there are literally no other cars around (or it might only be 2 or 3 and its what 3 lanes wide)!! And we have Never had a problem with slowing down! You definitely don't want to pull over. There are signs posted telling you not to and if a cop catches you, you will be ticketed! |

AHRQ and the Ad Council encourage consumers to ask questions and get more involved in their health care
Research Activities, May 2009, No. 345
The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) has joined with The Advertising Council and actress and health advocate Fran Drescher to launch a new series of national public service advertisements (PSAs) designed to encourage consumers to get involved in their health care by knowing and asking appropriate questions when visiting their doctors or other clinicians.
The new "Questions" PSAs, which were created pro bono by Grey New York, aim to encourage all patients to become more involved in their own health care by asking questions of their doctors or other clinicians. The ads feature people asking questions in everyday situations, such as ordering food at a restaurant and buying a cell phone, but clamming up when their doctor asks if they have questions. The television, radio, print, outdoor, and Web ads direct audiences to visit a comprehensive Web site, http://www.ahrq.gov/patients-consumers/patient-involvement/ask-your-doctor/index.html, to learn the 10 questions every patient should think about asking when visiting their doctor or other clinicians.
The new "Questions" PSAs are an extension of the Ad Council and AHRQ's patient involvement PSA campaign that launched in March 2007. The campaign is one of a series of campaigns that AHRQ and the Ad Council have collaborated on to improve health care. Other campaigns encourage men to get appropriate preventive care screenings and encourage Hispanics to take care of themselves by visiting a doctor to get preventive tests. The Web site features tips for patients to become more involved in their health care, including a list of questions everyone should know when they visit their doctor or other clinician. The Web site also features a "Question Builder" tool that allows patients to develop a customized list of the questions they can take to their medical appointments.

Eleven-year-old Azharuddin Mohammed Ismail starred in 2008′s Oscar-winner for Best Picture, but he did not live inside a home with an indoor toilet.
Yes, the young actor who played young Salim in "Slumdog Millionaire," grew up actually in the dirty and chaotic Mumbai slums depicted in the film and saw his home bulldozed by the government without warning last May.
But his housing situation improved yesterday when little Azhar moved into a one-bedroom apartment in Mumbai, near where he attends school. "Slumdog"'s director, Danny Boyle, and producer Christian Colson, purchased the new pad with money from the Jai Ho Trust, which was set up for Azhar and 9-year-old Rubiana Ali, who played young Latika. Boyle will transfer ownership of the apartment into Azhar's name when he turns 18 if he stays in school. [Telegraph]

"Money can't buy everything it's true," the Beatles used to warble, but it can buy a drive in a leading Grand Prix team.
"It's no secret that I have wanted a change of scene to help push on with my Formula 1 career," said Pastor Maldonado when his departure was announced,"and Lotus F1 Team offered the very best opportunity for me to be competitive next season."
The Venezuelan comes with backing from his home country worth millions of dollars, and he comes to Lotus after an increasingly bitter breakdown of his short relationship with Williams, whom he joined in 2011.
True, in 2012 he did bring Sir Frank his first victory since 2004. But those in F1 who saw that Spanish success as a false dawn were proven right when the Grove team endured a humiliating 2013.
Maldonado had to wait until the middle race of the season to score his first point in Hungary. By the end of the season he had failed to add a single point more, and in the latter stages he was outshone by the brave and focused rookie Bottas, who claimed four points in the sister Williams in Austin.
Maldonado was the last of the 18 drivers who scored points in the 2013 World Championship and Lotus seem sure they can get more out of him.
He's not an unknown quantity at Enstone: Lotus chief Eric Boullier had Maldonado in his DAMS team during the World Series by Renault back in 2005.
"It is clear that Pastor has pace and potential – demonstrated by his 2010 GP2 Series title success and then through strong races throughout his career at Williams F1 Team," Boullier insists.
"We are convinced that we will be able to provide the correct environment to enable him to flourish regularly on track."

Man, this was a fun car! And by that I mean that it was anything but! Sarcasm is hard to express electronically I'm going to share with you guys how we took this alternator out to replace it. The book calls for 3-4 hours on this job. And it took every bit of time. This is another job where, if you aren't absolutely comfortable taking stuff apart it would better to let a professional do this.
Also, it is helpful to have 2 people, one with small hands, a flexible extension (6″), a swivel, 13mm socket (shallow well), 3″ extension. These were the things that this would've been nearly impossible without.
Well first of all, we actually got the alternator cheaper from the dealer. So this one would be worth calling around about. Also, the dealer had it in stock and most of the other parts stores either didn't have it or couldn't get it. Add to the fact that the dealer alternator was new and all others were rebuilt and this is a pain to get in and out, we went with the dealer.
In any case, we did reference the book on taking this out. However, we found that their instructions were not the best way to go about this. This is how we started:
-Remove the top and bottom idler pulleys and put them out of your way.
-Take metal line off power steering pump, remove bolts and set pump up on the motor out of the way. There are holes in the pully to access the bolts. There are 3 bolts on this pump.
-Then get under the car and take a/c down. Doesn't come out, just take bolts out and move out the way. It doesn't move much.
-At this point, remove the bolts from the alternator (2 bolts) and let it sit down in the hole. You can't get it out because of the power steering bracket, but you need it loose so that you can get your hand on the back bolts on that bracket.
-So now we work on removing the bracket. It appears that the alternator bracket and power steering bracket are one piece, but trust me, they are not. Because of the way they fit together, it will seem like another bolt is holding it until you have the bolts completely removed. It will not move even if you have loosened all 4 bolts.
-There are 2 bolts in the back of this pump bracket. If you reach though where the alternator was (under the bracket) you can feel these 2 bolts. They are vertical to one another and they are facing back towards the passengers side. To loosen you will be pushing down on these bolts. Now to break these loose we used a very short 13mm wrench. There is not much room to get anything else on there. You will find that the intake is in your way up top and the oil dip stick tube is in the way on one side and the oil pressure sending unit is in the way on the bottom bolt. **Do Not remove the dip stick.!** The book says to do this but it is nearly impossible to get it back in once you have it out. You can work around it, it just takes some manuevering.
-So loosen up these bolts using the wrench. We then went up through the bottom with the 6″ flexible extension, swivel and shallow well socket on the top bolt. Allen wrenched it from the bottom while I held the socket on the bolt up top. The bottom bolt was more difficult because you had to work around the dip stick. The best way I found was to go around it using an extension. Put the 3″ extension between the swivel and socket and you come right around the oil pressure sending unit. The bolt barely clears it, but it will work. This really took patience. Basically, we did the same thing, Allen wrenched it off from the bottom and I held everything in place up top.
-Once you get the 2 bolts out of the back there are 2 bolts in the front. Both are under where the top idler pulley sits (you should have this off already).
-You'll need to pull the brackets apart using a big screwdriver between the block and the bracket.
-Once you get that out, the alternator will lift right out. Remember to unplug the wires
-Set the new alternator in there and hook the wires back up. Don't put the bolts in the alternator yet. You'll want to leave it out of the way so you can get your hands back into the back of the ps bracket.
-When you go to put the bracket back in the spot, it fits together kind of like a puzzle. There are little inserts that are inside the bolt holes for the bracket that help the bolts lockdown better. They may be exposed on the inside area where the bracket goes. If this happens it will keep the bracket from seating properly. Use a pair of pliers or channel locks to push them back into the hole and flush with the other bracket.
-You will need to get it all lined up to get those back bolts started on the bracket. You'll know when you get them started and use the same procedure to tighten them back as you did to loosen them.
-From there you pretty much reverse the entire procedure above. Once you get the ps bracket bolted down you can both work on bolting everything else back.
-Really the longest part was getting those back bolts out. It really was a pain. I won't lie to you.
Remember, just have patience and the right tools and you'll be good. Good luck with all of your repairs. Please let us know if you have questions. Also, I apologize for not having pictures. We will remember to grab the camera next time.

I have a rose that I want to make about 4 different crosses with as a seed parent. So with 4 hips on the bush - would the rose rebloom elsewhere on the plant or would that be enough to stop rebloom? Carol |

Yes, no, and maybe. Some roses ignor the hips relative to rebloom, and some are supposed to have less or no further blooming. You will probably have to take notes for each plant to answer your question for each plant. |
Carol, if the rose in question is a modern HT, floribunda, climber or mini, it'll probably continue blooming. For those more closely related to species or OGRs, perhaps it might not. What rose, in particular, are you referring to? Kim |
- Posted by henry_kuska z5 OH (firstname.lastname@example.com) on Mon, Jan 14, 13 at 0:20
"In contrast, modern roses (hybrid tea, floribunda, and grandiflora cultivars) are repeat blooming and must be deadheaded to encourage continuous bloom." The above is an example of a "rule" that is the opposite of a statement made in this thread. Which is right? I suggest that both may be and that neither may be. Nature is complex. It may be another factor such as the length of daylight, amount of moisture, daytime heat, nighttime cold, amount of nitrogen available, whether a rose show is approaching, etc. that turns off flowering in place of the presence of hips and/or along with the presence of hips plus the ancestry of the particular rose. |
Here is a link that might be useful: links with opposite rule

I was thinking of Night Owl and Memorial Day as seed parents. But now I'm thinking Night Owl (has a lot to offer) but I want a more fuller bloom on the offspring - so maybe I should go with Memorial Day and something else from my stable of roses. :) |

I like that we have 3 week break from school and I also like playing in the snow.
I'm also planning on going to the theatres soon. The Matrix^ and no, I don't throw my cat into a pile of snow like that.
I like that we have 3 week break from school and I also like playing in the snow.

Poor pussy.
When i was at school, i loved the holidays, and being able to run around the city all day with my friends.
Times have certainly changed. When I went to school, our Christmas holidays began at school closing on December 24th (or the 23rd if Christmas was on Sunday) and began again on January 2nd (or the 3rd if New Years was on Saturday).
I like the extra sleep, enjoy my own private bathroom/bathtub at parents' home, and the large kitchen to cook when I have no room to here in my small flat.
What do I like best about the holidays, When it all over...
That they end. That is all.
I'm not a Scrooge or a Grinch or anything, but I haven't enjoyed the holidays in years and years. I'm just tired of it. Year after year, always the same thing, starting a little bit earlier every year. The same Thanksgiving with the same people eating the same food; the same gawdawful Christmas songs on the radio, the same lights on the neighbors' houses, the same bright red and gold and green in the stores, the same fucking bells all over the place; the same tree, the same dinner and the same relatives as last month's holiday, then the same birthday, the same New Year's Resolutions... it's just so damnably same.
I dream of a Jewish Christmas: Chinese food and a movie.
* Question the Dominant Paradigm *
Everything, my favorite time of year.
The cheerful spirit from those that have it. Seeing the Christmas lights downtown at night just puts you in a mood.
Mid-Night Mass, the Music, the Solemn feelings (actually a different feeling at Easter, before and after), the food, being with family and friends, etc.
I think that last year, I hit the Christmas wall.
This year, Christmas season seems like an admonishment.
It is a season of forced 'joy' after a year so dismal that I am praying the Mayans were right and it all ends on the 21st.
At this point, I am purely going through the motions to do the barest minimum possible. I want the same Christmas as Swellegant.
To meet and eat. And eat the ones you meet.
It's my fav time to sleep/hibernate..I love sleeping 14 hours this winter
eat twice a day
and getting skinny but fit.
The paycheck. I get double time in a half the entire day I work a holiday.
Oh, and presents.
the free items especially the money (if i get any this year).
one thing about the closet/you don't have to hurry/it will be bad tomorrow/so brother, don't you worry
Fruitcake! Although a lot of people don't like it, it doesn't seem like Christmas to me without it.
"The surest way to make a monkey of a man is to quote him." ~ Robert Benchley
1. Gifts.
2. Fireworks.
3. Food / sweets.
4. Spending time with family.
5. Seeing all the nice Christmas lights outside when the day is so short.
99. Spending time with other relatives.
Taking a break from college. Hanging out and having fun with friends, also chilling and doing the things that I like such as watching Tv, playing games etc.
Snowball fight!!!

We who are in law enforcement must always be open to adapting our policies and procedures to meet new challenges that continually come at us.
I want to keep our community the safe, quiet place it was when I grew up here. But, we will not keep it that way by doing law enforcement the way it was done then.
Too often, positions were filled by the sheriff or police commissioner with his supporters or their family and friends. Some of these were people that could not get a job anywhere else. Of course when the sheriff had to fire the incompetent employee his supporter became someone else's supporter.
The sheriff then became susceptible to the supporter when the incompetent employee would seek to be promoted. That same fellow would approach the sheriff telling him or implying that he should be promoted. Knowing the guy was a goldbricker, often the sheriff would promote him anyway for perceived political reasons.
Yet, at the same time the sheriff had to walk this minefield and still enforce the law and keep the community safe and peaceful. This was certainly not the way to create a professional agency that would improve law enforcement services or keep up with increased demands.
Another misconception a few folks have is that we can somehow rehabilitate employees with deep-seated psychological issues or folks with flawed characters. We have fired people "for cause" and they turn around and sue us because of their wrongdoing.
They show no shame for their despicable behavior and their lawyers try to put forth the notion that the taxpayers should rehabilitate them or otherwise cover for their sins.
They try to say it is all right for a deputy to lie, steal, cheat and undermine law enforcement efforts, even to the point of committing felonies.
Some of the people who have been terminated for reasons stated were hired for political reasons rather than their talents and expertise. Yet, we have people who have been with us for years who were hired because of their political friends and have, also, become real assets to the Sheriff's Office.
Some of these folks really stand out, while others are with us for the same political reasons and probably will never stand out in a positive way.
Many very competent people who have good jobs are at those places because of a parent, aunt or uncle's recommendation. But the reason the human resource office hired the offspring is because that employee has a good reputation concerning their work ethic. In most cases it naturally follows that the apple doesn't fall far from the tree.
I am asked often to hire someone's friend or relative. There is nothing wrong with that. I have taken these recommendations and filled some of the positions. Some have worked well, while others we have had to let go.
We have instituted a standardized testing process that will refine the hiring process. Every applicant must take this test, which is designed to separate the goats from the sheep. (Pardon the crude comparison.) Before an applicant proceeds further in the process he/she must pass the test.
All of our efforts are geared toward having a bona fide, professional BCSO. The process has sometimes been ugly and bumpy. We have learned from the mistakes of others and from our own mistakes in our quest to become a better agency.
A potential employee may score well on the standardized test and he or she may have a good education and experience. Then, he or she may have the best references and all the indicators that they would do well as a deputy sheriff or correction officer. But, we all know that the behavioral scientists, psychiatrists and psychologists cannot tell for a certainty how a prospective employee will react to any situation in the future.
All of us enjoy doing a little armchair quarterbacking, but I have noticed lately that my most severe and harshest critics are those who have failed at their attempts to work in law enforcement.
Thanks for reading.

reputation and experience. They believe this says a lot more about the type of lawyers they are than any thirty second television ad could do. They are among the nations most experienced and best lawyers in the fields they practice." This unique approach was one of the many reasons Matt prided himself on working at Doran & Murphy. Chris Murphy, a partner at the firm, said "Matt was a superstar in the making. I still remember interviewing him three years ago for a law clerk's position. He's just one of those guys, as soon as you met him you knew he was going to be a great fit. I just knew he was a special person." Throughout his career, Doran & Murphy grew to become Matt's second family.
Matt worked closely with Senior Partner, Michael Doran, on multi-million dollar products liability and international tort actions. Doran was a great mentor to Matt, but also allowed him to have freedom to figure things out on his own; Matt jumped at the chance to learn all he could and follow in Doran's footsteps. Doran's brother, Tom, a paralegal with the firm, said that it was reassuring for him and his brother to be able to go out-of-town and not have to worry about the office. They knew Matt had everything under control and could take it upon himself to handle any situation should one arise. Everyone would agree that Matt had the ability and drive to succeed in his law career, especially with the guidance and knowledge passed down from Doran. They were both very dedicated professionally, yet also had fun-loving personalities. Michael Torcello, an associate at the firm said, "Matt was born to be a trial lawyer. He knew more about being a trial lawyer coming out of law school than anyone you could imagine." Additionally, fellow associate, Colleen Murphy, recalls Matt always being one of the last ones to leave the office, and always coming in to work on weekends. She said that Matt was more excited about being admitted to the bar than anyone she had ever met. That describes Matt perfectly. He was hard-working and passionate about the law. Although Matt's law career was short lived, he definitely built himself a great reputation in the law community. He worked very closely with his clients and was well respected among them. Chris Murphy said, "Matt's contributions to our practice have been invaluable and will doubtless prove to be irreplaceable." |

So sad. Ed McMahon passed away this morning at the Ronald Reagan/UCLA Medical Center at the age of 86. Our generation will always remember him for passing out ginormo Publisher's Clearing House checks and for hosting "Star Search." But to older folks, he'll be remembered as Johnny Carson's sidekick on the "Tonight Show," thanks to his famous "Heeeeeeere"s Johnny" introduction. McMahon kept folks laughing for 30 years along with Johnny, and the hilarious chemistry they shared is now part of television history. Here's a look back at some of McMahon's funniest moments.

Thanks Carol. It does look like it. I tried going to the fact sheets, but couldn't get it to come up, but that gives me a starting term. |
Looks like fire blight. Check out the AB15 photo in the link sooner posted. How does your Fuji do here. I am still deciding if I want to try apples. My concern is the Gigantic Cedar that will be with a few yards of my orchard. Mike |
It could be both. My initial guess would have been fire blight just because it is so common on apples and their relatives here in OK. However, it could be black rot or it could be both. Black rot often sets in after the initial damage is done by fire blight. Mike, If you don't mind spraying your apples with something like Immunox at the precisely right time of the year, you can grow apples near cedar trees. I would love to grow apples but so far have resisted planting them (for 15 years now) because I don't want to deal with cedar apple rust or, as far as that goes, with all the pests attracted to the trees/fruit. The folks who grow apples in my neighborhood have to deal with a lot of coddling moths. Dawn |

MK we do spray our trees several times each spring with organic spray we get from Nitron Industries in Springdale. Something for fireblight and dormant oil for moths. And we do have cedars near. We cut them on our place but there are others on neighbors' place close by. I don't know which disease this is. We didn't see twig dieback on this tree last summer so didn't think it was fireblight. We'll cut the limb but hate to since it is almost a third of this young tree. |

Updating something that I honestly, really meant to update earlier this morning before being distracted by other glowing lights on my computer screen, Ed Reed's contract details emerged late last night. For a guy who will turn 35 next September, dude made some nice bank.
NFL Network's Albert Breer reported that Reed's contract with the Texans will keep him in Houston for three years, and he'll be paid $15 million. John McClain of the Houston Chronicle chimed in with the guaranteed money — the most important detail — and it's $5 million.
The likelihood that Reed will reach the end of this contract is lower than low, but regardless, such a large financial number being associated with an aging safety — even if he's still highly effective — shows that winning the Super Bowl and thereby creating a bidding war can lead to some pretty sweet cash. That final number and the length is what resulted in Reed's departure from Baltimore, with the Ravens surely leery of a possible cliff dive at the hands of father time.
Of course, the guaranteed number is all that really matters, and it's reasonably affordable for a safety of Reed's caliber. Here's a fact that's undeniable: true ballers sign multi-million dollar contracts with a bottle of apple juice within reach…
