The 10 Most Bewitching Bergères
Truth in Decorating: Designers Bruno de Caumont and Beata Galdi sit a spell in suave descendants of an 18th-century French classic
By Samuel Cochran
Other than baguettes, berets, and Brigitte Bardot, few things are more classically French than bergères. Popularized in Louis XVera salons, these cushy armchairs survived the revolution, adapting easily to the changing fashions of the Directoire and Empire periods. Today they remain as in vogue as ever. And for good reasonwith their plush upholstery and regal frames, bergères blend comfort and style seamlessly.
For laymen, what sets them apart from other stately seats are their characteristic closed arms, loose seat cushions, and exposed-wood frames. "They really are masterpieces," says Bruno de Caumont, an interior decorator and furniture designer. Having learned about bergères from the chief upholsterer at Versailles, Caumont is well versed in the different styles. A bergère en gondole has an arched back and sides upholstered as a single panel, while the bergère confessionale features a high back and low arms.
"Bergères were really designed for palaces," notes interior architect Beata Galdi. Still, she finds their elegant form fits into even the most contemporary rooms, whether grouped in a formal seating area or standing alone in a bedroom. "Excellent design is timeless," Galdi says. Here, she and Caumont settle in to contemplate ELLE DECOR's picks of the ten best.

Yesterday, coming back from SouthCenter (a whole other story)there was this BIG traffic jam on 1-5...south of the West Seattle Bridge but north of Boeing Field...turns out there was a big group of Hells Angels pulled over on the left shoulder of the north going 1-5...about 5 cop cars with lights going strong. Hmmmm...what kind of mischief could they have been doing while on the highway - just because it was a band of Hells Angels maybe? Kind of exciting to see those bad boys.

We are building our home and are installing an electric fireplace in the bedroom. Where do we put the electrical outlet? All the descriptions note is to "plug into any outlet." Since we have the opportunity we want to install it where it is least noticeable and best functioning. Can it be installed behind the fireplace out of view? Thanks |

We put ours behind the unit as well. It's a dedicated outlet just for the fireplace. We also wired for a flat screen tv over the fireplace as well, as well as all cables that go to the tv. |

I am an A with olive skin, 55yrs.old and have breast cancer. I have developed brown raised spots on my stomach, sides, and back. Have had them checked by a dermatologist who says they are not malignant. To remove them, the dermatologist has to "freeze" them with a cold gas. I am following the A diet and love it. Has anyone found any other way to remove them?

Conservationist John Cain Carter to speak at Wilbraham & Monson AcademyAug. 20, 2014 |
Chris Goudreau "John and I served together in the military back in the early 90s and in the Gulf War," said Easler. "We were both member of a small six-man long range reconnaissance and surveillance team and you get really tight serving in that role together, sort of like brothers." After Carter's military service in the United States Army, he founded Aliança da Terra, an organization that works with farmers, ranchers, and indigenous people living near the Amazon rainforest to promote ethical land conservancy and offer economic incentives for rainforest conservation. According to a press release from Wilbraham & Monson Academy, there are more than 700 members in Aliança da Terra and the organization covers 7.6 million acres in and near the Amazon rainforest. The group has also fought 135 wildfires and is currently building a firefighter-training center. "Simply, the massive destruction I saw affected my soul and my conscience would not let sit idly by without trying to affect change," Carter said in an exclusive e-mail interview with Reminder Publications. Carter said he witnessed thousands of miles of wildfires and deforestation every year while living on the Amazonian frontier. One thing he said he couldn't stop thinking about during this time was a better way of human settlement in the region. "I founded Aliança da Terra as the silver bullet solution for frontier expansion, based on boots on the ground experiences and not boardroom fundraising projects," he added. Carter has appeared on "Dateline NBC" and the "Late Show with David Letterman," and has been featured in profile stories in magazines such as Time, Economist, and Outside. During the last nine years, Easler said Carter has assisted with student trips to the Amazon River basin where students are flown in by small Cessna planes, land on dirt strips, and spend three to four days with the indigenous Kamayurá people in the Xingu Preservation. "It's a transformational experience really," Easler said. "These are not performers, these are people living within their natural environment with their natural means and it's honest and genuine and quite beautiful." Students have also worked with graduate students from Ivy League institutions on environmental studies within the Xingu region, he said. The lesson for students is to see the effects of deforestation, as well as the contributing factor of agricultural progress for deforestation firsthand Easler said. Students also focus on the impact of deforestation on indigenous peoples in the region. "I am not an environmentalist, never have been and never will be," Carter said. "Don't make the mistake of thinking that I do not like nature. As an outdoorsman and natural resource manager, I love nature and wildlife. That is why I moved to the southern Amazon. "I am enthralled with raw wilderness and that is why I have dedicated my life to trying to foster a more sensible development model for the Amazon Basin," he added. Carter owns a 20,000 acre ranch near the Xingu and Amazon rivers in the Brazilian state of Mato Grosso where his typical day consists of getting up early, giving marching orders to staff for the day, and completing his tasks, he said. "Daily tasks differ based on the season and work schedule," added Carter. "However, every day someone is checking the cattle by horseback. In Brazil a lot of time is spent on bureaucratic tasks, exponentially more than producers in the U.S. have to deal with. Record keeping is a big deal." Carter grew up in Texas and he said from an early age his family members taught him how to hunt, hike, backpack, and do almost everything outdoors. When he was 7 years old he said he learned how to shoot well. At 10 years old, he knew how to track wild game, and at 15 years old he was living off the land. "The outdoors is how I am hard-wired," he said. "There is a tremendous difference in the way folks who depend on the land look at conservation versus the way urban environmentalists treat the issue." Carter's speech will focus on innate leadership abilities and character traits necessary to be a leader in addition to his personal experiences being led my Brian Easler in Iraq. "He became what we as teachers strive to instill in our students, a true social entrepreneur," Easler said. "He saw a problem and took it upon himself to come up with a solution." |

I have a lot of purslane (wild) growing in my garden. I know some can be poision. How would I tell the difference? Is there a site that could help with this? Thanks
Deb |
Follow-Up Postings:
If it's Portulaca oleracea that you refer to as your "wild" purslane it is completely edible. Google "purslane" and read away about the benefits of including this plant in your diet.. References to its poisonous properties appear for livestock, especially those that are starved and are fed large amounts of this herb. It does contain oxalates and nitrates and appears that the No. American plants are lower in these substances as compared to it in other parts of the world (Australia for example). Remember too that potatoes and tomatoes as well as spinich (which also contain oxalates) also contain toxic substances and we eat those on regular basis. |

Curls of frankincense billow towards me. I breathe in slowly through my nose. The house submits to the sweet, deep darkness and I feel the urge to sleep. My body is ready to sink down anywhere - the couch, the bed, the kitchen floor - but, as Robert Frost would say "I have miles to go before I sleep." I drag the tip of my spoon along the soft white scoop and put the cold ice cream to my lips. I slip into a dream lit by exotic pine, orange, sandlewood and cream. There's ginger in there, … [Read more...]
Recipe: Rosewater Lemonade
For some, the season of flip flops is over, now replaced by the steady clickety-clack of school shoes on polished linoleum. For others, school is nothing more than a faint memory, farther yet than the setting sun's shimmering rays upon which our dreams cling. Either way, Rosewater Lemonade will put a smile where you need it most. For the back-to-schoolers, this drink represents everything easy-breezy; a way to go global, even in the midst of lost backpacks, homework, and forgotten lunches. … [Read more...]
Recipe: Grilled Kofta with Zucchini Sauce (with poll)
This week we dove into a summery garden spread from Oman. Kofta are grilled hand-formed sausages enjoyed in Oman and neighboring countries. In fact, versions of kofta are enjoyed as far east as India (although these are typically served in meatball form). These Omani kofta sizzle with earthy cumin, warm flutterings of cinnamon, and are rounded out by coriander seed, fresh parsley and cilantro. The sauce - entirely vegan, by the way - is loaded up with fresh zucchini, garlic, parlsey and such … [Read more...]
Recipe: Frankincense Ice Cream
I like a little mystery in the midst of routine. A drizzle of scented massage oil makes the evening fly by. A simple puff of incense fills every crevice of my home with glorious serenity. And of all possible aromas, Frankincense reigns supreme. Ever since I was a little girl, poised with wonder under the glittering Christmas tree, Frankincense has captivated me. My little brain could never quite grasp what on earth Frankincense was or why it was so special, but that didn't stop me from … [Read more...]
About the food of Oman
Pull up a chair, grab a steaming cup of Kahwa and a few dates. We're going to Oman, a boomerang shaped country on the edge of the Arabian pennisula. Kahwa is omani coffee, made with enough sugar for the biggest smile in your heart, a dusting of dreamy cardamom and brittle, sunset-colored strands of saffron. Sip by sip, let the heat soak into your pores as you dream your day away. If coffee isn't your preference, perhaps a cold glass of rosewater lemonade [Recipe], or a salty … [Read more...]

Can anyone recommend some good tasting sweet red, orange and yellow bell peppers, preferably heirlooms, that change color before frost?
Thanks in advance. |
Follow-Up Postings:
The best producing peppers for me are Ace and New Ace, hybrids. They will flower and set fruit that will ripen at least some to red every year for me. They are less fussy about conditions for setting fruit than most peppers and have a shorter ripening sequence than almost any other bell peppers, both of interest to me since I live just north of Concord, NH. I have tried a variety of other peppers over the years, but these similar peppers have been the most successful for me. Most others produce maybe three peppers, so really aren't worth the space in the garden. Ace//New Ace are smaller than many peppers (fist sized or somewhat larger,) but have good flavor and medium wall thickness. Sorry to not have any non-hybrid recommendations. If you have any interest in a quite mildly hot banana pepper, not hybrid, Hungarian hot wax has produced oodles of peppers for me, many of which are able to ripen (red-orange.) Hopefully someone will have some recommendations of other peppers for you. I will recommend Johnny's Selected Seeds as a source of seed if you want to grow your own plants. They have both hybrid and open pollinated or heirloom varieties and have plants chosen to do well in New England. Here's a link to an earlier thread about peppers with a few other varieties and resources listed. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Pepper thread
Thank you for the information; I appreciate it. The 'colored' ones I've been growing~King of the North & Golden Calwonder~always produce well but don't usually have time to turn red/yellow even though they're started early in the greenhouse. I'll check out your link~thanks again. |
You're going to hate me for this, BUT, if you'd like more information about various pepper varieties - especially "early season" peppers for your Zone 5 location - check out the link below. They have 500 varieties listed (that's NOT a misprint!), all available in the Spring as seedlings. . .and while you might not want the added expense of ordering seedlings, sites like this can provide a wealth of free info. I have been using these folks for years, and actually make a special day-trip every April to pick up my tomatoes and peppers! They also introduced me to the best fertilizer I have EVER used on my veggies: liquid fish emulsion. . . Here's a tip I learned, just in case you DO decide to order plants from this Carl |
Here is a link that might be useful: Cross Country Nurseries
Carl, BUY a vegetable plant? Bite your tongue! I DID visit the site and you're right, there's alot to learn there and Ill check it out as time allows. Thanks so much for the link. I completely agree with you on the fish fertilizer~it's the best. (We buy it locally in 5 gallon buckets.) Thanks again! Janine |

The Montgomerie Dubai (themontgomerie.com), which Colin Montgomerie designed with the late Desmond Muirhead, is worth a visit. Its island green on the par-three thirteenth is reputedly the largest in the world. Jebel Ali Golf Resort & Spa (jebelali-international.com), about a forty-minute drive from the city, has nine pretty holes and for years hosted the Jebel Ali Challenge, a star-studded event that acts as the curtain raiser for the Desert Classic. Watch for peacocks that roam the fairways on the eighth and ninth holes.
There are two types of hotels in Dubai: expensive and very expensive. Unfortunately, it's almost impossible to find anything decent with fewer than four stars, so visitors tend to stick to the plethora of upmarket resorts and business hotels. The most famous of these is the five-star Burj Al Arab (burj-al-arab.com). With its soaring white facade resembling a billowing sail, the hotel stands on its own island nine hundred feet offshore and serves as the architectural symbol of the city. A kaleidoscopic waterfall, mirrors on the ceilings of the suites, and chauffeur-driven Rolls-Royces are the order of the day here. The more conventional Hilton Dubai Creek (hilton.com) manages to have both a boutique and business feel. As an added attraction, the hotel is home to Verre, celebrity chef Gordon Ramsey's first restaurant outside the U.K.
You can find restaurants serving dishes from all corners of the globe in Dubai, but visitors often overlook the fine cuisine of the Middle East during their stay. Layali Lubnan on Sheikh Zayed Road is an independent café that gives a rare glimpse of genuine Arabia. Here you'll find locals and expatriate Arabs smoking shisha (flavored tobacco) while enjoying a game of backgammon. Try the falafel and hummus washed down with a cup of strong Turkish coffee for a tasty and invigorating lunch. Lebanese food is justifiably popular the world over, and Ayam Zayam at the Ascot Hotel in Bur Dubai offers delicious repasts at reasonable prices. The restaurant also puts on belly-dancing shows and live music throughout the week.
Shops And Spas
Shopping is a major reason that tourists flock to Dubai; the city is often referred to as the Hong Kong of the Middle East. However, those looking for traditional Arabian markets are in for a disappointment. The creekside souks, which sell a range of gold, jewels and textiles, are a rather sanitized version of their exotic past and a world away from the bustling flea markets of Cairo, Damascus and Tehran. Rather, designer boutiques rule the roost in modern Dubai, and the emirate's tourist-friendly tax-free zones ensure that bargains can be had. BurJuman (burjuman.com), Wafi City (waficity.com) and Mall of the Emirates (malloftheemirates.com) are three of the city's biggest malls, each of them crammed with upscale outlets.
Spas have become seriously popular in Dubai as well and can be found in all of the city's top-end hotels and shopping centers. The Spa at the Shangri-La Hotel (shangri-la.com/dubai) is one of the most elegant retreats anywhere, while the exquisite Angsana chain (angsanaspa.com) has outlets at both the Arabian Ranches and Montgomerie Dubai golf clubs.
Nightlife, etc.
It might come as a surprise to learn that Dubai buzzes after dark. For years, drinking alcohol was restricted to a series of stodgy hotel bars, but the city now overflows with trendy pubs and ultrachic nightclubs. The Souk Madinat complex (madinatjumeirah .com) in Jumeirah, with its twenty-two bars and restaurants, is the focal point for many a good night out. Particularly popular joints here include the Agency, a waterside wine bar, and JamBase, a world-music megaclub.
The active traveler is well catered to in Dubai. Skiing is the latest craze here, and it can be done in both the desert and the city. Local tour operators organize sand skiing—more like sandboarding—down steep dunes, while Ski Dubai (skidxb.com), in the Mall of the Emirates, is a 240,000-square-foot indoor ski center with man-made snow and the world's first indoor black-diamond run. One of the most popular sports in Dubai is camel racing, which can be viewed at the Nad Al Sheba racetrack (nadalshebaclub.com) from October to March.

Kayjones...thanks so much for pointing that out!! I am a newbie here (who is really an oldie...it's just been a few years!!) and didn't know about that!! I still haven't found time in the last few weeks to navigate around and play around yet, so thanks so much!! Now I have some catching up to do from my last trade!!! Have a great day! |
Thank you Kayjones. I did not not know that before posting, sorry. I am also a newbie here and love this info packed site. Looking forward to doing some trading in July when wife is back in the US/Florida. Thank you Everyone GrowDan |
Hi Growdan, You might want to add your state abbreviation to your garden zone box. See I am zone 5/6 S IN. Some members, myself included will not respond to or maybe even read Plant Trade posts where the location is not shown. It is postage cost, (as cost varies greatly with distance), days in transit, temperatures, etc that are all taken into consideration. I see you have found a lot of the other forums, but you may want to check out the Florida Forum too. hth. Sue |

I know this should be on the conversation side, but it's not very active lately. The sad news is that FLAGTRUCK, Carol West, passed away this morning. She had brain surgery this past year, and has never quite recovered. I w/miss her greatly. Carol was known on Flickr as TOOMUCHTWODO. I've just written the Flickr headquarters for help on making the announcement to Carol's Flickr contacts. If any of you Flickr friends, WACKY, NANA, CATHY, know how, I'd appreciate it, if you could send me an email. |

Going down to her house this morning to visit her sis - she wasn't receiving yesterday. Ashamed to say that last time I visited her was when CALAM was here - waaaay too long. It confirms again that we need to take more time out to be w/our friends and tell them we love them more often. |

It is such sad news, I am so grateful to Slow, for taking me over to meet Flagtruck when I was there...All the Dear Members of this and other GardenWeb forums have been so special to me....have changed my life!!! I will cherish meeting Carol, and to see her beautiful yard/home, and her amazing Mosaic studio!!!! It was so touching to see how Carol's eyes lit up to see us walking into her place, especially Slow, she LOVED you Slow! It was a "Wish List" visit to meet Flag and visit her and Slow and see their work/lives in person. May God Bless her Sister at this time. |
I remember many beautiful projects Carol had made, and her wonderful studio. She was a real artist and inspiration. It's so sad to hear she's gone. I know you'll miss her Betty, sounds like you spent some quality time together. This is very sad news. Cindy |
Oh I'm so sorry to hear this news. I've loved to look at Flagtruck's mosaics and have been inspired by her work. And Slow, I thought if I ever did get up your way to see you, I would ask if I could meet your friend. This is a sad day. |

I heard the news. I'm heart broken. She was a wonderful,sharing lady & a great teacher . ( She always pitched in to help me when I needed it ) It's really our loss. On the other hand - I know she's looking down at us & smiling . She'll never know how many hearts she's touched. PS -- I have to ask - didn't she post under a different name besides flagtruck ? I could swear ,I knew her as something else before I found out her other name was flagtruck. |
I am SO SORRY to hear this!! She was a wonderful person and great artist. I still have some tiles she made, I got them from her in a tess exchange. I always felt they required a special project, now even more so!! |
She was an asset to both this forum and to the garden junk forum when she posted there. I send my condolences to her family. |
So sorry to hear this talented lady had a rough last year of her life. Loved all her work & was amazed at all she did. Hope her sis can deal with it & that there are friends & family around. Glad she got to meet some of you & always nice to have friends who have same interests as you. We'll miss her lovely work & friendship! Jan |

Visited her sis yesterday morning. Her daughter and two grands are there w/her for a few days. I'm taking my garden helper and husband down tomorrow, and w/Janice's help, we are going to clean up the back garden. It was so sad to see it go downhill. I used to go there for inspiration, and often told FLAG that I could pitch a tent in the middle and just camp out. Even though I'm impaired now w/my back, I can do a little bit, and hire my garden helper to do what I can't and get it all clean and tidy. When Janice and I were out in the garden yesterday, I could see it was overwhelming for her to even think about it. It's a BIG place, and the heat and lack of Carol's touch have taken its toll. I w/pass y'all's condolences to Janice. I had spoken w/Carol via phone about three weeks ago, and when she called me back a few days later, she was responding to her telephone log, and said she was sorry she missed my call and was returning it - didn't remember we had talked. She regained some of her memory, but not all. She still thought she was driving that beautiful truck. Makes me so danged sad. It's like an artist library burned - hurts us to lose her and her wonderful talent. The Lord knows best, and He called her home and out of her depression. TOOMUCH: I don't know of another name she had on this forum. On Flickr, it was TOOMUCHTWODO. |

You are so sweet Slow! A kind gesture from someone she Loved! |
That's so nice of you Slow, I know Carol would appreciate it, that yard was her pride and joy |
I haven't posted in quite a while, but heard the sad news and wanted to say how sorry I was about her passing. |
This is from NiceThyme: "for some reason I can't get GW to load, I had it open enough to read that post and when I tried to respond it wouldn't open.. I've tried for several days. can someone PLEASE please tell Betty how terribly sorry I am to hear of Carol's passing, she was an incredible artist and clearly a vibrant woman. " |

I am so sorry to hear of Carol's passing. Her mosaics were such an inspiration and I loved how colorful and vibrant they were. I am so sorry Betty for the loss of your dear friend! |
I'm so sorry to hear the sad news of Carol's passing. Betty, you and her family are in my prayers. You are so right, we must take time to tell our friends and loved ones how much they mean to us as often as possible. rchovey (Ramona) |
So sorry to hear of the loss of your friend. |

I was not aquainted with Flag but admired her work.Praying for His Peace which surpasses all understanding for her family and for each and every one of you whose life she touched. She was very talented & obviously well loved. blessings, |
- Posted by slowmedown (My Page) on Tue, Sep 6, 11 at 7:48
Isn't it amazing how these forums make us friends w/people we may never meet? I was blessed to live near enough to FLAG to visit and share her wonderful work in person. The three of us made a huge dent into the cleaning of her pride and joy garden. I managed to clean one large bed and scrubbed/bleached a whole bunch of birdbaths and filled them. Spent the rest of the afternoon talking w/her bro-in-law - telling stories of Carol, while my garden helpers worked away. What a huge yard, but we got the worst part done. It'll look a lot nicer for the memorial open house that is to be scheduled soon. |
Oh Slow what a wonderful thing you did by helping the family get her yard ready for the Memorial. I remember some of her works. Does she have a site to be able to go view all her works?. If not that would be a wonderful tribute to her, wish I knew how to do that! Surely theres a way to compile pics of her work in one place to view. My sympathies to you and her family I know she will be truely missed. Linda |
- Posted by slowmedown (My Page) on Wed, Sep 7, 11 at 9:22
The only place I know is Flickr. Since I assume she wasn't a premium member there are only 200 photos. Search her on Flickr as toomuchtwodo, and you can see a few of her pics. I just don't have the time to devote to trying to make an album of her works. Go for it, if you do, CRAFTY. |
God bless you Carol. I'm so sorry to hear this news, Betty it's hard to loose a dear friend I lost my in 2004. As time goes on the pain is easier but always in my heart and mind. Carol will be always there to help you with your design and creativity and in your heart. Words can not heal but with Gods help he will see you though this rough time. What a wonderful friend that can stay with a friend in need. She was never alone. God bless you Betty. toomuchglass said it the best "a wonderful sharing lady and great teacher". My sympathies to family and friends. God Bless you Carol you will be missed. Indiana Betty |
- Posted by slowmedown (My Page) on Wed, Sep 7, 11 at 17:06
Amen - I lifted my eyes to Heaven when I was helping clean her yard on Monday, and said "Thanks a lot, you l'il heifer"!!!!!!!! She was a sweet, loving and talented lady. |
What a wonderful gift you've given her family, Betty. I would be overwhelmed by such kindness, and I'm sure your friend would have appreciated it. |

I have not posted here in Years. Carols passing is so sad. huge lump in my throat, typing through tears. I am so so sorry. Heard about it on flicker. I am so very sorry for our loss of Carol and know how her family will miss her. I remember the first time we saw Carol in her truck on the highway in our neck of the woods. DH and I oooohhhheeeddd and AAAHHHEEEDDDD over the Gorgeous Flag Truck. Then I remember saying to DH. It is a Woman driving that truck and waving a Thumbs up to her and she waved back.Gave us a short toot. A year or so later I was here at GW and we were visiting and Flagtruck told us about her truck and it was then I KNEW we had seen Carol on the highway. We saw her a few times as this turned out to be a regular rout for her. So sorry I did not know her as our Flagtruck until after she had quit driving. So close yet so far. May her dear hands guide us for ever in our quest to make beautiful art. She will be so missed. Chris |

Hello SHADES. I've missed you so much on this forum. It's so nice to see your post. What a blessing to you to have seen that beautiful truck on the road, and then to meet her on this forum. Truly, she was a unique individual that touched many of our lives. Again, I've missed you, SHADES - thanks for posting about your friendship w/FLAG. |
Oh Slow, so sad to hear this... I haven't checked in here for awhile and my heart is saddened by Flag's passing. You are an amazing woman too and great friend you were to her. I now your heart aches...be blessed today. Hugs to you!! |

I'm so sorry to hear about Carol. she was such an inspiration me! I was... and am...so in awe of all she accomplished. In looking at her Flickr page: http://www.flickr.com/photos/toomuchtodo/ I'm reminded of her encouragement and wonderful spirit of sharing information. I just looked at photos of some of the birdbath... gorgeous! And what a wonderful gift to help with her gardens! Slow... you and Carol were some of the first Internet folks to patiently answer questions for me...and give encouragement. I appreciate you! Positive thoughts and prayers your way... and do take care of your back!!! Katie |

Statement on the Second Iteration of the Ryan Plan to End Medicare
For Immediate Release
Contact: Eddie Vale – firstname.lastname@example.com
Statement by Protect Your Care Communications Director Eddie Vale on the second iteration of the Paul Ryan plan to end Medicare:
A Republican budget to end Medicare, is a Republican budget to end Medicare, no matter what you call it. Paul Ryan can claim a tweak here or a tweak there from his last budget that ended Medicare. He can try to latch onto a new co-sponsor. But no window dressing can change the fact that at it's heart his budget is a plan to end Medicare by ending the way the program has worked successfully for decades and throwing seniors out onto the mercy of the private insurance companies.
The Republican budget to end Medicare is a one-two punch to seniors because at the same time Republicans want to throw them back into the prescription drug donut hole and take away their preventative care benefits by repealing the Affordable Care Act.

Miller Kaapke is a "miracle child" with congenital heart disease. He has defied doctors after he was pronounced dead, with no pulse for almost a half an hour.
The Gilbert 13-year-old has undergone open-heart surgery and has a pacemaker and a defibrillator. He has had to relearn how to walk, talk and recognize his four siblings.
In 2009, after a year of low energy, Miller needed more surgery to replace his pulmonary valve. He had to rest just to walk upstairs to his bedroom.
Thanks to a new medical device approved by the Food and Drug Administration a week and a half ago, Miller is back to playing the drums in his Gilbert Junior High School band, and playing kickball and dodgeball with a chest protector.
"He's got the energy to be a kid again," said Miller's dad, Bob Kaapke, an entrepreneur. "Now, he just flies up those stairs, and he's much happier."
Miller is one of 150 patients throughout the country accepted into a research trial to receive a replacement heart valve implanted without surgery. In April 2009, Miller underwent the minimally invasive procedure to receive the Melody Transcatheter Pulmonary Valve at Morgan Stanley Children's Hospital of New York, on the campus of Columbia University.
Twenty-four hours after the procedure, Miller left the hospital, walked around Times Square and went to see the Blue Man Group. It was a far cry from the weeklong hospital stay Miller endured after his open-heart surgery.
"There was no heart-lung machine, no invasive surgery, no long hospital stay," said Miller's mom, Tracy Kaapke, an administrative assistant at Montessori Education Centre in Mesa.
Four days after the new procedure, Miller went ice skating for the first time.
"For now, with a cardiac son, this has been an amazing choice," Tracy said.
The procedure and the device, made by Medtronic, went "remarkably well" with Miller, said Dr. William Hellenbrand, who operated on Miller.
"We're going to follow him very carefully (for at least five years), along with all the other 150 patients," Hellenbrand said. "The issue is how long will this valve last? We put an adult-size valve in him, and we are very hopeful this will last a long time."
You'd never know Miller has been through so much, besides his scars and the bump in his chest from the defibrillators, which he calls his "man boob."
Dr. Mary Jo Kutler, Miller's pediatrician, discovered Miller's heart problem when he was 4 weeks old. Miller was diagnosed with aortic subvalve stenosis, an ailment that can kill undiagnosed teens when they are playing sports.
Miller's condition was controlled by medication, but he needed open-heart surgery when he was 18 months old to remove a muscle flap that caused his heart to work overtime.
Then, when Miller was 8 years old, he complained of tightness in his chest while playing sports. Doctors discovered a bad aortic valve and Miller underwent another surgery.
In March 2008, Miller, then 11, collapsed in his home and went into cardiac arrest. He had no pulse, and was pronounced dead by paramedics. They were able to get a pulse started 23 minutes later.
Miller's dad performed nonstop chest compressions to keep his son's blood and oxygen flowing until the paramedics arrived and then the staff at Banner Desert Medical Center took control. The family believes that's the reason Miller suffered no major brain damage.
"He only survived because of the people who touched him that day," Tracy said.
Tracy remembers telling her son in his ear, "You can do this."
Miller's pediatrician calls him a "miracle child" and credits his dedicated, supportive family, and his new Melody valve.
"It just goes to show you how wonderful technology is and how, as time advances, technology advances, too," Kutler said.

"If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?" – If a piece of sensitive data is exposed to the intranet/LAN, is that a security incident?
Here are some versions of an answer I've heard (all fictionalized, of course):
- "No, what on Earth are you talking about? We share everything inside the firewall."
- "No – since we would never know that it happened anyway."
- "Yeah, kind of– but it is low-priority incident, the one we get to … whenever we get to it"
- "It depends on the data, some data seen outside its intended secure enclave immediately triggers an incident."
- "Yes, of course - with 50,000 employees you cannot have any concept of a perimeter."
- "Yes, because our internal is really external – due to a large number of partner, customer, vendor, etc personnel on our network."
However, the situation is much worse than that. I am this close to thinking that today at a large company with expansive and effectively uncontrolled network access (wireless, VPN, BYOD, etc), an internal breach is going to become an external breach before you can say "DBIR"
Here is why: a lot of the organizations open up all sorts of internal resources to all sorts of outsiders and then poorly govern access to said resources. A recent research piece on SharePoint contained this shocking number: "nearly a third of these internal-facing SharePoint sites are now being opened up to people outside of the enterprise, such as partners and customers for external collaboration." The authors further note, in a style reminiscent of a winning The Understatement of The Year contest entry, "This changes the overall risk profile of SharePoint."
In this scenario, an internal exposure magically becomes a data breach. In light of this, some organizations undertook massive (=covering hundreds of thousands of internal file repositories and millions of files) efforts to discover, corral and attribute (to data owners) sensitive data and then institute a blend of processes and ongoing technical monitoring (via DLP) for internal exposures, in addition to explicit exfiltration and "loss."
Finally, here is a great example (discovered here) of an internal incident leading to formal breach disclosure:
(full notification is at http://doj.nh.gov/consumer/security-breaches/documents/depository-trust-20120702.pdf)
So, here is to change in the New Year: accept an idea that an internal sensitive data exposure may, in fact, be a security incident, even before the attackers get to this data and steal it!

3 Easy Steps to Reach Facebook Users with Video Ads Right Now
It's safe to say that Facebook.com and YouTube.com are the #2 and #3 most visited websites on the world wide web (behind only Google.com). No big secret there. It's also pretty safe to assume that you or someone you know has shared a YouTube video on their Facebook Wall. Also not a life-changing revelation. What might surprise to you is that you can actually target viewers of these Facebook-hosted YouTube videos using a Google AdWords advertising product. That's right; read it twice.
"How is this possible?" you might ask. "Aren't Facebook and Google mortal enemies?" you might ask. Well ya, but with Google AdWords for video and some keen investigation you are able to leverage these two super-massive audiences in conjunction with one another. You get the best of both worlds by effectively serving your advertising message alongside compelling YouTube content within the world's most popular forum, Facebook.
The best part: you can accomplish this impressive feat in just a few short steps, and it isn't all that different from a typical video ad campaign setup…
Step 1: Create Your Video Ad & Host on YouTube
No brainer here. If you don't already have a video that you'd like to promote, then you should get to work. Once you have an ad you'll need to upload it to your YouTube channel because this is the source that the AdWords system will reference when you create your ads.
Step 2: Create a Google Display Network Video Ad
Create your campaign and start building your first ad. When creating the ad you are prompted to select the networks that you would like to target – YouTube Videos, Google Display Network, and YouTube search. You will select only Google Display Network.
Selecting only Google Display Network allows you to target YouTube videos that are embedded on sites other than YouTube. This will narrow your to targeting to only the videos that meet your first requirement.
Step 3: Select Placement Targeting
So far, so good? Now it's time to really hone our targeting… How do you actually ensure that your video ad is displayed only when a user watches a YouTube video on Facebook?
Easy! Let's review our placement report data from other Google Display Network video ad campaigns:
What we see in the above report is that more than half of all views targeting the Google Display Network have originated from a placement called…
What is this strange Facebook URL? It doesn't work when entered in your browser, and it's not supposed to either. Let's post a video to my wall then take a peak at Facebook's source code:
You can see that the URL is displayed in the source code. This is the iframe source which describes the actual location of the video, so that explains why it is reported this way in placement reports (NOTE: this is just one example, Facebook my use other variations of this URL). By using this abstract URL as a placement target in a new Google Display Network campaign we can target just videos that are played on Facebook.
This is a great way to put your video ads to work in a place where they'll be sure to attract a ton of views. If you want to get really clever, you'll even create an ad tailored specifically to the Facebook audience (maybe you can ask people to "Like our Facebook page"?).
*You can also layer any other kind of targeting – topic targeting, contextual targeting, and even remarketing – on top of your placement target to more effectively target the YouTube audience too. What fun!
How will you experiment with this targeting option? Leave a comment below.

Hello Linda,
Well…I have some thoughts and questions. You feel not allowing same sex couple the right of marriage is against the US Constitution is wrong some how. I wish you would spend more time explaining how this is the case. Are you aware that 52 of 55 or so signers of the U.S constitution were men of Christian faith ? And by far an orthodox one that believed in traditional marriage. The few that may not have been Christians were still held to natural law, and had a semblance of respect for Biblical authority.
Science was mentioned by you I think, and if I have you mixed with another article, this is still apropos. Through the study of Theology (the study of God/Jesus) men wondered about their environment both far and wide, science and the scientific method was launched through the worldview of Christianity. I offer this because I have the impression you don't seem to have a very high view of the Bible for wisdom about mankind do you? Curious why you would spend time reading it, perhaps a passing fancy
. I think before I could go in to detail why same sex marriage and or being gay is sin, among so many other sins, many of which I have experience in my life, it will have to suffice to say until you get a better grasp on what Jesus is saying in his word, comments like yours and others will probably rule the day. I will finish by saying that if Gay rights continue to be promoted and special protections are offered this group of people, you wont have to worry about the first amendment, or religious free speech–you, nor I, or the folks you are an apologist for will not have this wonderful blessing–Government will be the sole arbitore of this right, and if you are on their side, for instance President Obama, you will be joyful, perhaps Ted Cruz soon, sounds like you will be sad.
In truth, these men work for you and me, and our rights are not given from them, are rights are inalienable, granted from God. This God through evidence over time I have come to trust, not Darwin, Obama, or any other man other one called JESUS. I think its important to read what he thinks about me and you, and all that is before us.

Related article: Delay at the Airport Delay at the AirportI was finally heading home after a long week with a problem client. I was just looking forward to laying my head down on my own pillow. The last leg of my flight was out of Chicago. Of course, the snow was coming down like mad. They announced that all of the flights were cancelled. I
innocent cute preteen
had been making small talk with this good looking guy for about an hour before they made the announcement about the cancelled flights. We were now standing in line at the counter to arrange for a flight out of O'Hare tomorrow morning. I got on my cell phone immediately and tried to arrange for a hotel room for the night, but everything was completely booked due to the storm. My new friend, whose name was Johnny, by the way, told me that he lived close by and I was welcome to crash on his couch for the night,. We were set for the same flight in the morning, so that seemed like a good idea to me.We both decided to just keep our bags checked so we wouldn't have to deal with that in the morning. We got a cab back to his place, which thankfully was not too far from the airport. He had a nice house in what seemed to be a nice part of Chicago. It was a bit cold in his house as he had turned down the heat since he was going to be gone. He made us a drink and we sat on his couch and talked. Johnny apologized for not having a guest room, but said I was welcome to stay on the couch or he had a king size bed that we could share if that didn't bother me. I let him know that it didn't bother me if he had some shorts or something I could sleep in as I usually slept nude and didn't have a change of clothes with me. He said he could find me some, but I was welcome to sleep nude, since he does as well.As the evening went on, it was

clear that there was definitely some chemistry between us. He turned and looked me and told me that I had beautiful blue eyes. I blushed and thanked him. I have always been complimented on my blue eyes, so I was used to it. Johnny stats are as follows: 5'10, 185, brown hair, mustache, and green eyes. I am about 6'1, 230, brown hair, blue eyes. Johnny continued to look at me and I finally asked him preteen asian naked if he wanted to kiss me. He told me that he thought I would never ask. With that Johnny put illegal underage preteen his soft lips up to mine and slowly entered his tongue into my mouth. He was a

great kisser. We kissed for quite awhile and then he led me by the hand into his bedroom. We stood at the foot of the bed and embraced in another kiss. As we were kissing, I unbuttoned the front of his shirt and revealed a very moderately hairy, sexy chest. He looked very hot with his shirt unbuttoned. He pulled my shirt up and over my shoulders. I am somewhat hairy, but more on my stomach than my chest. We both kicked off our shoes and socks and slipped off our pants. He was preteen forum nonude wearing a pair of silk boxers and I didn't have any on. He looked at my 6"cock and said now he knows why

I asked for a pair of shorts since I wasn't wearing underwear. I laughed and told him that I

hate underwear. He bent down on his knees and took my cock into his mouth. I pulled him up

and told him he needed to get rid of his silk boxers before we went any further. He pulled them down and revealed his big 8.5" cock. I was looking forward to grabbing hold of that thing. We lay down on the bed and embraced and began making out once again. We both let our hands roam all over each other's bodies. I began to lick my way down his body. I took his left nipple into my mouth and nibbled on it lightly as it became further erect. I followed suit with his right nipple. As I chewed on his nipples I moved my hand down to find his fully erect cock. I began to stroke it slowly and moved my mouth back up to greet his eager mouth. We made out for a bit and then I moved my mouth down to his cock and took the massive tool into my mouth. He tasted so good. He began to moan and tell me how good it felt. I took his cock deep down my throat and could feel the head hitting the very back of my throat. I sucked him for a good twenty minutes.Johnny then pulled me off of his cock and rolled me over on my stomach. He put his tongue up to my ass and began rimming me deeply. Being rimmed is one of my favorite

things to do. He stuck his tongue deep in my ass and also rubbed his stubbly chin in my ass. It felt so good. Johnny then said, "Jeff, can I fuck you?" I told him that I would love it. With that, he put his hard cock up to my ass and slowly inched his way into my ass. It was tight, but it

felt so good. As he was working his way into my ass, he was licking my neck and telling me how good it felt to be inside of me. Finally, Johnny was deep inside of me and he just let it sit there so I could get used to it. He then began pumping in and out. It was extremely hot. He

was pounding me hard and telling me that he couldn't believe his luck that we were on the same flight that happened to get cancelled. He started pounding faster and faster and started breathing faster. He told me that he was about to cum and I told him to shoot that load in my ass. I wanted to feel his jism inside of me. With that he screamed out that he was cumming, oh yeah, here it is, yes, Jeff, yes, take that load. I could feel my ass filling up with his cum. It was a great feeling. He shot every last drop of cum into my ass and kept his cock in my as for a bit and we rolled over on our sides. He was stroking my very hard cock and licking my ear. Johnny then pulled out of me
preteen labia pix
and rolled me on my back. He took my cock into his mouth and began giving me a blow job. I was so worked up that I knew it wasn't going to take me long to shoot my load. He could tell I was getting close and sucked faster and deeper. Before I knew it, I was shooting my load in his mouth. He stayed on my cock and took in every last drop.We cuddled in bed and just talked for several hours. We eventually fell asleep in each others arms. The next thing I knew I woke up to an alarm clock going off and Johnny was not in bed with me. Thankfully, he had remembered to set the alarm. I could hear the shower running, so I figured Johnny was in the shower. I stumbled into the bathroom to release my morning pee. Johnny wished me good morning and asked me to join him in the shower. I told him I would love to. I finished peeing and opened the shower door and walked in. He took me into his arms and greeted me with a big kiss. I told him "thank you for putting me up". He told me that it was his honor and he hoped that I would come see him again sometime. I told him that I thought that could be arranged.We began kissing again and sudding up each other. We were both rock hard. Johnny turned me around and told me that he had to get inside me one more time before we left. I wasn't going to fight him as I bent over and felt his hard cock enter my ass. He pushed it in quickly and started fucking me hard. I was stroking my cock while he was fucking me. Before I knew it, he was shooting his load up my ass and I immediately shot my load all over the shower wall. We finished rinsing off and called a cab. Johnny and I arranged to sit by each other on our flight to Houston. We held hands most of the trip. It was hard to say goodbye to Johnny at the airport, but I know it won't be long before we see each other again.If you enjoyed this story, please send feedback to thenewjeffaol.com.

The San Luis Obispo California Highway Patrol Office is on the hunt for a driver who hit and killed a 24-year old man. They said the traffic collision happened on North Thompson Avenue, south of Willow Road, sometime between Sunday night and Monday morning.
The San Luis Obispo County Coroner's Office identified the victim on Tuesday, as Christopher C. Tietjen, of Nipomo. In 2010, Tietjen was arrested after being accused of acting suspiciously around children at a playground in Nipomo.
Friends and loved ones of Tietjen poured out heartfelt memories over Facebook on Tuesday night.
Gary Mendoza posted on the KSBY Facebook page that Tietjen was a "good guy". Mendoza told KSBY over the phone that he was Tietjen's case worker through the local non-profit organization NCI Affiliates/Achievement House Inc. He said Tietjen was mentally disabled, and he saw him at least four times a week. He also said he had just seen Tietjen on Saturday, and he was looking forward to the holidays.
The CHP is looking for a 2004-2009 mint green Toyota Prius with major front end damage. Anyone with information regarding this case is urged to contact the CHP at (805)593-3333.

I know Disney won't announce free dining until spring of 2014, if they do at all. I know its not going to be a guaranteed thing until they officially announce it, but I was wondering if anyone has any speculations if they will do free dining in 2014? I saw they recently announced free dining for UK guests for 2014, and I can't imagine Disney would offer it only to UK guests, and not US guests in 2014. Here's why I would like to know:
My husband and I have been planning our next WDW trip for September of 2014, and we were recently talking to my parents about it (I have never been to Disney World with my whole family. My mom was there about 30 years ago, my dad has never been, and I took my little sister in 2010, but only got to spend one day in the Magic Kingdom. It was a dream of my mom's to take her family, but they have always struggled financially and it was never something they could do). When my husband and I got home, he suggested we take my parents, and my sister and her boyfriend with us. I was so touched that my husband understood what this meant to me, to have my whole family go on vacation together (my husband is an only child and has been to Disney World tons of times with his parents). We crunched some numbers, and we know we can make it work, if and only if Disney does free dining next year. We plan on paying for everything: airfare, resort, park tickets. But to feed six people as well for a week, we just cant do that on top of everything else. We want to keep our plans a surprise just in case things don't work out, and Disney doesn't do the free dining. I plan on using Mouse Fan Travel (I've never used them, but if Lou recommends them, I'm willing to give them a try) to help book this very special trip, how soon should I contact them, being that the whole trip rides on the possibility of free dining? Any help or advice that anyone could give would be great. I'm so afraid that Disney won't announce free dinning this year, and crush one of the biggest dreams I have ever had, when its so close to reality.

- It's a green tea, all organic: Sencha green tea, cranberries, blueberries, caraway seed, mustard seed, sea lettuce. With natural flavouring*
- Boil your water and let it set for about 4-5 minutes to bring the temperature down to 82 degrees.
- Steep for 3 minutes. Do NOT oversteep as green tea bitters.
- It does not smell like pine or (evergreens) but rather like those Mr. Sketch Dark Green Markers.
- It tastes a bit fruity but not tart, its a good combination of cranberry/blueberry
- Sea lettuce is a fantastic source of iron and is abundant in minerals aka it's really good for you.

The Winona Area Public School Board approved $1.5 million in energy-saving projects for the Senior High School and Jefferson Elementary, part of a package that should pay for itself with reduced energy bills over the next 15 years.
Administrators have said that Jefferson Elementary was examined for energy-saving projects before other district buildings because the district received a grant for boiler replacement at the school. Because many of the energy-saving projects involve the heating and ventilation system at the school, it would make sense to do those upgrades at the same time as the boiler is replaced. On Tuesday, board members learned that the grant was for a steam system, rather than a hot-water boiler that would work more efficiently with the planned upgrades. Building and Grounds Director Bill OLaughlin was hard-pressed to recall the name of the agency that had granted the funds, but later said it was a Minnesota Historical Society Capital Project grant. Board member Steve Schild wondered whether switching to a more modern and efficient hot-water boiler would mean the district would lose its $70,000 boiler grant. He said a more efficient system might put the grant in jeopardy because it wouldnt be similar to the original boiler put into the school.
The grant is made up of federal dollars administered by the Minnesota State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO), said grant specialist John Fulton. He explained the grant does not require the district to install an old, historic, antiquated boiler system, that there is no requirement that a building owner install old and inefficient heating systems in order to use the money.
In fact, he said, a grant for a historic building such as this is made to help building owners maintain those structures, and to improve efficiency, which can ultimately help keep buildings intact. We would not force them to have an inefficient boiler. If they have a good plan we want to help them meet their mission, said Fulton. Improving a heating system helps in a lot of different ways. It helps in energy costs and so money can be saved for other purposes. Theyre going to see the building as easier to maintain if they dont have to spend as much money on it.
While grants for projects to the exteriors of historic buildings may require that components retain historic qualities, Fulton said that is not the goal of a grant to help with a heating component like a boiler. His office is concerned with whether a project would require walls to be demolished or any other structural changes in the building. If the hot-water boiler doesnt require the district to change the building any more than the original plan for the steam boiler did, there shouldnt be any problem, said Fulton.
He said SHPO would like to hear about the districts change of plans, since district staff had not yet contacted the SHPO office.
Concerning the confusion around the SHPO grant for the boiler, Fulton said his and other historic agencies in the state work hard to educate the public about how these incentive programs for historic buildings really work. We certainly dont have any policy of putting inefficient equipment into buildings, he said. Unfortunately theres a lot of education that we have to do about what our mission is, too.
Energy Savings Group (ESG), the firm overseeing the projects, has guaranteed the energy savings that would pay for the projects, so if the dollars dont add up, the company will cover any overage cost as part of the contract.
The remaining Dist. 861 buildings for other potential energy saving projects, such as upgrades to HVAC systems, lights, and water fixtures. The findings on the other buildings will be presented to the board in the spring.
In addition to the projects that would pay for themselves over 15 years through reduced energy costs, the firm has proposed several other building upgrades that could be pursued at the same time. For Jefferson Elementary and the Senior High School alone, the firm presented additional upgrade options that would cost from $13 million to $15 million. The board is expected to look at the additional projects at an April 2013 briefing.

Did you hear the good news about the 2009-2010 academic year? In addition to the increase in Pell Grant money (which is great for students), Federal Stafford loan funds have been increased by $2,000! Terrific, let's poor more student loan debt on the children of tomorrow.
Do you know what happens when the federal reserve puts more money into circulation? Inflation spikes which devalues the dollar; although that also has a positive subsequent effect on our nations trade deficit. Still, the point I'm making is that more isn't always better. Giving students more money doesn't get to the root of the problem, which is that tuition is so overpriced it's ridiculous!
I really feel for the students of today who are getting out of school with mini-mortgage payments and no job prospects. The trail of tears is long. You may want to inquire about free debt consultation if you are struggling with your monthly bills like so many Americans these days. For those students who are still in school there is some hope in the form of scholarships.
At ScholarshipPoints.com, our sister site, we know how tough it is on today's students, which is why we are committed to helping as many as we can with $100,000 in free scholarship money. Take a look at all the year-to-date winners.
Taking that one extra step may save you thousands of dollars. So I guess more money is a good thing after all, provided it's in the form of a scholarship.
