My name is Bakhus S. Six months ago I placed my Mother in a retirement home. With Alzheimer's, I had been taking care of her for the past 7 yrs, she has been with me all my 52 yrs. When John and Michele Law (The Laws) had asked me to write a song about this from a caregivers view, I couldn't do it, 2 yrs ago when they had asked me. After placing my mom at the full care home the song that they asked me to write poured out of me.
This week I had committed to volunteering at a nursing home that was filled on one floor with dementia patients. I questioned myself why I was doing this, and thought of cancelling. My thoughts of course were about my mom who suffers with Alzheimer's disease . I did not truly understand why I would place myself in such an atmosphere, that would only bring up my feelings about my own mother. Yet I felt that since I made the commitment I needed to live up to it and at least go this one time.
As I grew older, my father grew younger. I was 17 when my father ran away from home, leaving the television on behind him, the remote control lying at the base of the recliner that was still extended. I was supposed to be looking after him that afternoon as he sat in his recliner watching the stock market channel, staring at the numbers, forgetting each and every sign and symbol. I remember trying to keep my heavy lids from falling but finally giving in to the comfort of a woven, cotton blanket and familiar warm pillow. And when I finally awoke that afternoon, I saw that he was gone.

The vast majority of rail systems use pendant art style and can be directional. Rail lighting systems is highly demanded in residential houses, studio apartments and commercial buildings. This fixture type allows users to create different shapes and direct the light as they want. Often rail lighting system consists of a rail itself connected from one side to fixtures. This rail holds lamps, which can be made in pendant style or can have a special adjustable fixture. Some rails are firm and not bendable, other have a curved shape or hand-bendable. A homeowner can select a proper rail lighting system depending on his needs.

How to Select
How to select rail lighting
Rail lighting fixtures help create decorative, task or ambient lighting of your choice both indoors and out. Functionality and various settings that such lights can offer make them a great selection for both residential and commercial use. Westside Wholesale has prepared the following guide to help you select the best rail lighting for your particular needs.
First of all, it is important to specify the purpose of rail lighting fixtures. This will help you know their style and installation location. Rail lights are seldom used to illuminate the entire room. Their main purpose is directional lighting that highlights certain elements of the interior or helps create lighting ambiance in the room. If you need to illuminate some specific areas of the room, ensure that rail lighting fixtures that you select are adjustable and can be mounted on the wall.
Rail lighting fixtures can come with two or more lamps of various sizes and capacities. Knowing the purpose of a rail light will help you select the perfect size and capacity of such fixture.
The next thing you need to consider before purchasing any rail lights is their energy usage. The more time your directional lighting stays on, the more electricity it consumes and the more money you spend on monthly bills. Calculating the operating cost of each fixture will help you save money in the future. When selecting a light bulb for your rail lighting fixtures, look for the bulbs that use LED technology. This is by far the most economical and eco-friendly lighting technology that will provide your home with more light.
The style of each rail lighting device that you select should match the existent décor of the room. Otherwise, there's no point of installing a decorative lighting fixture that will spoil the view of the entire room.
Now that the main factors of the rail lights are specified, you might want to spend some time to consider the additional features of each lamp. Having your rail lights equipped with automatic controls lets you program their operation while different color options help create lighting ambiance of your dreams.
After all of the details are taken into account, you may still have some questions about the rail lighting and its benefits. The best thing about rail lighting is their functionality and maintenance. A tiny lamp provides you with countless lighting effects and ensures the items or details of your interior are properly illuminated. In addition to that, such lights spend little energy and thus help you save money.

Thanksgiving is fast approaching. Whoo-hoo!
That means people start calling the National Wild Turkey Federation looking for someone to talk turkey. And sometimes they end up with me.
Earlier this week I chatted with Jim and Trav on The Revolution — one wacky outdoor radio show. Click here to hear it. (Be patient. It may take a minute or so to load. And, yes, it's a hour-long show, but I'm the first one up.)
They were searching for someone to talk about cooking wild turkey. Their first pick was James Africano, executive chef for Vermejo Park Ranch in New Mexico. Chef James couldn't do the interview, but remembered me from my hunt out there this spring … and that I'm working on a cookbook for the NWTF.
Basically, I was the consolation prize. But I'm not hurt, because I learned a couple things about myself during my 10-minute on-air stint.
1. I say "you know" WAY too much.
2. If you answer questions with enough authority, people believe you.
I'm not talking about the cooking tips. Those I have down pat. It was the turkey trivia.
I feel bad because some of my answers were, well, bad. And I won the trivia contest with these bad answers. So I'm here to set the record straight.
Turkeys CAN fly 55 miles per hour.
I wasn't TOTALLY wrong. They fly 35 mph (which is what I said), but they do it in order to get to 55.
Now, I know. And you do too.

Fernando del Sol, president of F. S. Inversiones in Chile, had just bought himself a headache as a New Year's present. On December 31, 2001, he purchased a Chilean electricity generation and transmission company called Edelnor that was in danger of becoming insolvent within months. del Sol had six months to restructure the company before it would become completely insolvent, and his headache was compounded by the fact that the process for company reorganization in Chile typically dragged on in the courts, often for two or more years. Any debtor, no matter how small, could hold up the process at any point by issuing written complaints to the court. del Sol needed to figure out whether the company was worth saving, whether it had a business strategy that could succeed if the company's debt was restructured, and whether he could find some means of saving the company in time.
learning objective:
To learn about the possibilities for strategic arbitrage.
subjects covered:
Arbitrage; Bankruptcy; Bankruptcy reorganization; Electric power; Globalization; International business; International management; Strategy
- Geographic: Chile

♪ piano music ♪ [Adobe TV Presents] [The Complete Picture] [with Julieanne Kost] [Prinipal Evangelist: Photoshop and Lightroom] Let's take a look at how to showcase and share our images using Lightroom mobile. I'm going to go back to the Japan collection, and in order to share, I'll click on the icon in the upper right. When I select share, I can then tell Lightroom which images I want to share. I'll click on the check mark so that we can see that I can message this, I can e-mail it, and I have a variety of other apps that I can share with. If I choose mail, I just wanted to let you know that the image that's created is 2,048 pixels across on the longest dimension. We don't need to mail it right now; we'll delete that draft. And with 1 image selected, I also have the option to share with Twitter. If I have more than 1 image selected, and try to share, Twitter is no longer available. You might not be seeing all of these other apps. So, let's just take a moment, and look at how I got them to appear. I'm going to go into my settings here, and you just need to sign into your account. So, any service that's deeply integrated into the iOS, we can go ahead and share to that service. Alright, let's return back to Lightroom mobile. If I wanted to share this to another service—say for example— Behance or Instagram, then I could just save the images, in which case they would get saved to my camera roll. I can also copy these and print them if I want to. Alright, let me go ahead and cancel out of here for now. I also want to just mention that you can share your images as a slideshow. So, I'll select the icon in the upper right-hand corner again, and just tap slideshow. Obviously right now, it's playing on this local device, but if i wanted to I could hook this up to another device— say in my studio—if I wanted share these images to a larger audience. And I'll also point out that there is another way to start the slideshow, and that is from the collection view here. Any of the collections in the lower left have a little triangle. If I simply click on that triangle, that will also start the slideshow. That wraps up this series on Lightroom mobile. Please don't hesitate to give us your feedback. We're looking forward to hearing how Lightroom mobile can improve your photography and simplify your workflow. My name's Julieanne Kost. Thanks for watching. [Adobe Creative Cloud]

Nespresso U Launch Event
Last week, I got invited to an exclusive Nespresso U launch event at the Grove in Los Angeles. As you all know, Mr. Rasa Malaysia and I are huge fans of Nespresso machines and its coffee, so you can imagine just how excited I was. I was also stoked as Padma Lakshmi was the host of the launch event. As a fan girl of Top Chef, it was awesome to have finally met the gorgeous Padma in person.
I brought along my friend Simply Reem and we had a lot of fun. The garden section of the Grove was transformed into a Nespresso pop-up cafe. Guests and media mingled and was treated to the freshly brewed and superb espresso made with Nespresso's premium coffee capsules.
Padma Lakshmi looked gorgeous in person. As the brand ambassador, she kicked off the launch event and shared a Nespresso Cardamon Cappuccino with us. If you look at the photo above, you can see that I was on the right hand side, looking (ogling) the gorgeous Padma like a dork.
The ingredients for the Nespresso Cardamon Cappuccino, with green cardamon, nutmeg, and almond.
Reem and I busy checking out the Nespresso U and the coffee capsules. Of course, we had to snap the pictures with the iPhone and upload to our social media.
Enjoying a cup of espresso prepared by the barista at the pop-up cafe. I had at least 3-4 cups of various types of espresso that day. Coffee makes me happy.
Here I volunteered to test out the photo booth.
All in all though, it was a fun and successful launch event for Nespresso U. A week after the event, I received my complimentary Nespresso U and now it sits on my kitchen counter top. I love the compact size and it's perfect for a small kitchen. The size doesn't compromise its performance as it brews some of the best espresso. I just love it.

3 years ago I quit smoking after being addicted for 10 years. I listened to a book on tape called
"The Easy Way to Stop Smoking" by Allen Carr
. Like anything you HAVE to be ready to do it otherwise it will be a waste of time. I tried to quit smoking a TON of times before it worked. I will tell you nothing worked as well as this book. I have 4 other friends that used it as well and it worked for them too. GOOD LUCK!

This Land is Your Land, This Land is Lego
Jeff Fieren's a photographer from Nova Scotia who's been known to dabble in dioramas using only Lego building blocks and other lego items. Seems like maybe he's got some spare time on his hands - maybe a lot of it. Check out his website. He's built dioramas of each of the 50 United States. Some are dead on: dancing girls in Nevada; folks attending a big football game in Alabama; and the Wright Brothers in North Carolina. But others will have you scratching your head: a merry-go-round and funnel cake stand for New Jersey; two guys on swings for Ohio; and a roadway sign saying "Welcome to Delaware" immediately followed by one saying "Thanks for visiting." Come on, guys. We all know that's a Rhode Island joke.

Ed Sheeran, Wedding Singer
Did you catch this one? A radio station in Sydney, Australia had already arranged an $80,000 dream wedding for a local couple after the unemployed groom wrote to talk about their need to postpone their wedding due to personal and financial hardship. Everything taken care of, down to the last detail. So when a somewhat familiar wedding singer showed up, no one should have been surprised, right? Surprised they were when Ed Sheeran walked in, strapped on his guitar and played "Thinking Out Loud," the song the couple had chosen for their first dance. Nicely done. And it's good to know Ed's got something to fall back on in case this recording thing falls through... Just surprised this lovely couples first dance.

Kourtney K, Trail Blazer
The Kardashians are frequently known for taking what others do and trying to top it. This newest one has me scratching my head though. You've heard of breastfeeding selfies, right? Giselle Bunchchen started the trend, posting pictures of herself feeding her children. And Alyssa Milano has kept the trend alive. They're called "brelfies." Now, Kourtney is posting pictures of her using breast pumps to express her breast milk to feed her child later. So what do we call these types of pictures? Pumpies? After the show it's the after party. A photo posted by Kourtney Kardashian (@kourtneykardash) on Mar 21, 2015 at 6:39pm PDT

That's Some Expensive Texting
The general manager of the NFL's Cleveland Browns has been suspended for four games without pay and fined $250,000. Why? For texting to on-field personnel during games. That's a serious wrist slap right there. A lot tougher than the NFL's former "Give Me That Phone You'll Get It Back At The End of The Game" policy...

James Corden's been in the late slot after Letterman for about a week now. And he's making a bit of a splash. This week, he had soccer star David Beckham as a guest on The Late Late Show, and they took the opportunity to debut a new clothing line. A new underclothing line, to be precise. You'd think more people would be taking shots at The Biebs and his Calvin Klein ads...

Stephen King on Indiana
Despite being a guy who chooses to write books that are over 1000 pages long, Stephen King can be short, sweet and to the point at times. Take for instance his reaction to Indiana's controversial new Religious Freedom Restoration Act. He's not a fan, and he puts it in a very simple light. No novel, no novella, not even a short story needed here. Indiana's Religious Freedom Restoration act is gay discrimination, pure and simple. You can frost a dog turd, but it's still a dog turd. — Stephen King (@StephenKing) March 31, 2015

Bieber's Roast Airs
It seems like the roast that would never end, but the Comedy Central roast of Justin Bieber finally aired last night.

Meet the New Daily Show Host
Comedy Central announced yesterday the replacement for Jon Stewart on The Daily Show. Just as everyone expected, the new host is... Trevor Noah? Um, sorry, who? Trevor's relatively new to The Daily Show. Heck, he's relatively new to the US, having arrived at both spots back in December - four months ago - from his native South Africa. In fact, back then, he made his debut appearance on The Daily Show as a correspondent. Now, suddenly, he's the new host. As others scramble to find out more about him, why not just sit back and watch that debut..

Justin Bieber took the stage as a back-up singer with Ariana Grande in Miami over the weekend. His job: help her with "Love Me Harder." And he couldn't do it. He flubbed the lines, then gave up and started dancing on stage and greeting fans to cover for his failed memory. He apologized repeatedly to Ariana on stage.. And he did so on Instagram afterwards as well. Accepted or not, I'll bet it's the last time he's invited to be Ariana's back-up... Had fun with u Ariana, even tho I forgot all the words haha A photo posted by Justin Bieber (@justinbieber) on Mar 28, 2015 at 8:46pm PDT

The Beginning of The New World
Jay Z enlisted some top-level friends to help him announce his new streaming music service, Tidal. Beyonce was there, of course, and Kanye. But so was Madonna, and Nicki Minaj, and Jason Aldean, and Chris Martin, and more. Dozens of artists, in the room and on-line, to hear about and lend support to Jay Z's game changing idea. His plan is to get consumers to pay for music they're used to streaming for free. You laugh, but it worked for Netflix. The man could really be on to something big here...

I have used this tubing for two projects now for retorfits in my home. One was with joist tracks, and the latest is with warboard in a gut job in a 15' x 17' room.When I did the joist track retrofit, I had a 300' run that had to be threaded through all the holes that were drilled in the joists....what a PITA. This, combined with the fact that it came in a cardboard box (and my lack of experience), it was very difficult to unwind it and keep it from getting all tangled up. but we got it done. It was a two man job.The most recent project was very easy, used warmboard. The latest stuff comes plastic wrapped, you pop a hole in the center of the packaging, and it just snakes out and uncoils perfectly. I have a home made uncoiler (lazy susan and some 2 x 4's and vertical dowels), this was a one man job that took less than 30 minutes to install in the warmboard. Great packaging now!!!I have also used pex-al-pex before....I would not waste your time with it vs. hePEX plus as the ease of working it makes a HUGE difference. I don't know how you could use pex-al-pex on a joist retrofit system with a long run.There could be benefits to pex-al-pex that I am not aware of, but I won't be using it in the future. Only the hePEX for me. Plus it uses standard PEX fittings, makes it super easy to connect.

Do not try to run multiple 3/4" hePex through a small chaseway by yourself. I just ran 350ft. of hePex in my basement ceiling then into 8 radiators , and it was not pleasant. I work in construction, and if someone offered me 3 days of either; pulling 3/4" pex, or pull heavy gauge electrical wire, or doing roofing or pouring foundations, pulling 3/4" pex would be my last choice. This stuff is not your garden hose. Pex is flexible, compared to black iron, or concrete, but this is all relative. But honestly, threaded pipe is easier on your shoulders then pex, not faster mind you, but easier. Would I use this system again? definitely, but with help next time. Actually, I am looking forward to using the 1/2" aquapex to replace the copper in my house (that by myself). That has to be easier. Good luck

What a difference
By Plan B
from Detroit Michigan
Comments about 5/16" hePEX plus - (250 ft. coil):
I moved into a foreclosed house 3 years ago, which had baseboard heat and the great room had only one wall of register. That first winter we were never able to get the room over 65 deg. The next fall I installed radiant floor heat in that room and that Winter it was the most comfortable room in the house. Since then I have converted the rest of the house. Very pleased with the product.

Comments about 1/2" hePEX plus - (1000 ft. coil):
Great product! I installed about 1500 feet of this pex in my basement slab. Went down very easy, I did not get one kink as I have had with other pex. I recommend the tubing uncoiler for big projects. I just started using uponor and propex fittings and they have been great so far!

works good. as should be expected
By Eric

I used this to install heat under an existing floor in between joists. Doing a detailed layout and installation plan is key. Taking out a bunch of tube to get around an existing duct is a pain. However, that is operator error. The tube used with Joist Trak was easy to install. Highly recommend the Pex tube uncoiler by Wrisbo. Life saver!

Comments about 3/4" hePEX plus - (100 ft. coil):
Ordered 100 ft of heat pex and received it two days later. Great product delivered fast. I also ordered items in the past and basically have my own pex supply in my garage. They have everything you need and will get it to you fast.
Good Stuff, Decent Price
By Robert
from Detroit, MI
One good thing about this product is that it is slightly more rigid than pex for domestic water. My supply/return temps are 165/140 so I was expecting the hot water would make the pipe more flexible and that it would sag in long runs... it does not. There is an entire unsupported corner of it, maybe 12" each side, it does not sag. I was surprised at that. If you're running it in the ceiling, you will of course, want to add talons maybe every 16" or so, but in general its a strong pipe. Enjoy.
High quality very flexible tubing
By Serge N
from Toronto, ON
Comments about 1/2" hePEX plus - (500 ft. coil):
The great flexibility of the tubing makes a lot of difference when routing in tight spaces. The memory effect of pex-a allows to fix kinks with heat gun only. If you have to connect this to a copper pipe make sure you buy wirsbo propex fittings as they provide better flow than a big box stores fittings as they have larger inside diameter. One can use a heatgun of a special tool to pull the tuping over the fitting.

We were scheduled to visit two outlying camps each day, which meant leaving out early every morning, donning heavy protective gear and hopping in a Black Hawk helicopter to ride to each location. I really enjoyed these flights, with the fresh air blowing in the open doors and the sights of the country below us.
Of course, there were capable men and women armed with machine guns pointed out the chopper doors at all times.
One of the most memorable camps we visited took us on a sightseeing tour, followed by an opportunity to shoot their artillery. As luck would have it, a sandstorm blew in at the appointed return flight time, and we were able to spend several more hours with this great group.
I'm sure my traveling companions will agree this was the most relaxing and entertaining evening of the entire trip.

Spiced Hot Chocolate on a Stick for The ModCloth Blog!
Hot chocolate on a stick is one of my favorite sweets to gift for the holidays. I first blogged about it back in 2009 and I've made it every year since! They're so cute packaged individually and make great stocking stuffers. Today I'm sharing my own recipe for a spiced version on the ModCloth Blog! It's my favorite adaptation so far. It's subtly spicy and a great way to warm up in chilly weather. Get all the details HERE!

King James Bible 400th
This year, the world recognizes the 400th anniversary of the publication of the King James Bible, named for James I, who ordered the translation from the Hebrew and Greek into English so everyman could read it for himself.
Today we take for granted that anyone can read the Bible in his own language, but this was not the case up to the Elizabethan era. The Bible was written in Latin, the language of the Church, and only accessible to the priests, who controlled what to present and how to present it to their flock. When James the Sixth of Scotland and the First of England took the throne after Elizabeth's death, he sought to unite rival political factions of monarchists and Puritans, and commissioned an official translation of the scripture into the vernacular. The King James Bible represented a religious and political declaration of independence from the controlling power of the papacy in world affairs. The effect of this action was revolutionary and led to the English Civil War, the American Revolution, and the rise of democracy around the world.
The way in which this powerfully influential translation came to be is the subject of God's Secretaries by Adam Nicolson, who also has an article on this subject in the current issue of National Geographic magazine. Nicolson provides historical context, brings vividly to life many of the 50 scholars who worked on it, gives a plausible account of how the task was accomplished, and conveys the full grandeur of the translation. These men spent seven years, from 1604 to 1611, poring over Greek and Hebrew texts, comparing previous translations, and arguing over fine details to produce what is widely recognized as a highlight of English literature and a milestone in the Protestant movement in Britain.
Historian Melvyn Bragg writes about the worldwide significance of this book in The Book of Books: the radical impact of the King James Bible, 1611-2011. He tells the engaging story of the creation of the KJV, and then assesses its influence on culture, including science, language and literature, and its impact on society. The social reach of the KJV extends to widely varying attitudes toward slavery and the American Civil War, views of sex, and advocacy for women's rights, the social gospel movement, and democracy.
Prolific literary critic Harold Bloom presents the book he has been writing "all my long life", a perceptive reading of the King James Bible as a literary work of art in The Shadow of a Great Rock. Comparing passages from William Tyndale's Bible, the Geneva Bible, and the original Hebrew and Greek texts, Bloom illustrates how the translators improved upon earlier versions to create a sublimely beautiful masterpiece of literature.

ALBANY - Time to break out the bug spray and citronella candles across south Georgia counties.
Georgia health officials urged citizens Monday to take precautions because the mosquito population has grown dramatically in the wake of last month's heavy rainfall and flooding.
ATLANTA -- State Senator Eric Johnson of Savannah announced today that he will seek the Republican nomination for governor in 2010. Johnson intends to file paperwork for his candidacy tomorrow.
"As I traveled the state campaigning and visiting with Georgians from all walks of life, I was thrilled to see the support and encouragement we received in every corner of this state," said Johnson. "Georgians recognize that we need a steady, tested, and experienced leader to address the challenges we face as a state and to build on the progress we've made under Republican leadership. My vision for our future ...
ATLANTA - The 2010 race for Georgia's attorney general is attracting almost as many candidates as the governor's contest - and for good reason. There hasn't been an open seat in the election for the state's top lawyer in more than 60 years.
That explains why what is normally considered a down-ticket race is already becoming one of the most hotly contested campaigns.
Tam Duc Le has pleaded guilty to seven charges stemming from the March 21, 2007, deaths of three North Bryan teens in a car wreck,
SAVANNAH - Attorneys for one of the nation's largest sugar producers accused a whistleblower Monday of faking a report that he says he sent to company executives warning them of the dust hazard at a Georgia refinery days before a blast there killed 14 workers.
Lawyers defending Imperial Sugar in more than 30 lawsuits filed a motion in Chatham County State Court asking a judge to throw out the report and all testimony by Graham H. Graham because he "knowingly provided false testimony." Graham was vice president of operations at the Texas company at the time of the explosion.
ATLANTA - The Georgia Bureau of Investigation says a state firearms examiner has resigned over faulty testing and dozens of criminal cases in the state could be in jeopardy.
GBI spokesman John Bankhead says Bernadette Davy admitted to not fully testing guns. She could not be reached for comment Monday after GBI announced she had resigned April 1. She had been an examiner since 1991.
ATLANTA - Lt. Gov. Casey Cagle fought back tears Wednesday as he reluctantly dropped out of the race for governor, saying he has a degenerative spine condition that will require surgery.
The surprise announcement immediately scrambled the crowded contest to replace Gov. Sonny Perdue when his second term expires in 2010. Cagle was considered a front-runner for the Republican nomination with the primary still more than one year away. The 43-year-old Republican from Gainesville said he will seek re-election as lieutenant governor.
The Community Collaborative Rain, Hail and Snow Network, better known as CoCoRaHS, is looking for volunteers to help collect rainfall data across Georgia.
GAINESVILLE, Fla. - Another band of heavy storms is marching across the water-logged South.
A day after high winds were blamed for toppling trees that killed one person each in Tennessee and Georgia, more blustery conditions were reported late Monday and early Tuesday across the region.
VALDOSTA (AP) - A weekend shooting outside a business in south Valdosta left five people wounded.
Valdosta police Lt. Bobbi McGraw, a spokeswoman, said none of the victims suffered a life-threatening wound and all were treated and released.
ATLANTA - A swath of severe weather moved across a storm-weary South on Monday, killing at least two, downing trees and cutting power to thousands of homes.
The storm system that hit Alabama, Tennessee, Georgia and northern Florida brought torrential rain, flooding, hail and gusty winds to states still reeling from strong storms and tornadoes last week.
RALEIGH, N.C. - The 2009 hurricane season will be less active than last year's flurry of storms, and there's less than a 50 percent chance that a hurricane will hit the southeastern U.S., a researcher said Thursday.
On the Gulf Coast, however, there is a 70 percent chance a hurricane will make landfall.
VALDOSTA (AP) - Another group of Georgia Army National Guard personnel is preparing to deploy to Afghanistan.
A send-off ceremony for 106-members of Alpha Company, 2nd Battalion, 121st Infantry was held Wednesday night at the Georgia National Guard Armory in Valdosta.
Here's how some legislation fared on the final day of Georgia's 40-day legislative session:
ATLANTA (AP) - Georgia lawmakers rushed to consider vast changes to the state's transportation network and a series of sweeping new tax plans as they faced the tightest of political deadlines on Friday, the chaotic last day of the legislative session.
The Georgia Legislature's sole obligation during the 40-day legislative session is to pass the $18.6 billion spending plan, which would make deep spending cuts amid the lagging economy.
They say that money can't buy happiness, but it turns out that maybe the right amount can — $75,000, to be exact.

Skin Reactions to Targeted Therapies [1]
Targeted therapy is a treatment that targets faulty genes, proteins, or the tissue environment that contributes to cancer growth and development. Compared with conventional chemotherapy [3], targeted therapies are more specific and cause fewer side effects, such as infections, weakness, and changes to blood counts. However, patients receiving a targeted therapy often develop skin, hair, nail, and/or eye problems.
There are often effective ways to treat these side effects. Patients taking a targeted therapy drug are encouraged to talk with their doctor on a regular basis about special precautions they should take, signs and symptoms to watch for, and what to do if a reaction appears.
These skin, nail, hair and/or eye side effects are caused by the drugs' effect on the normal growth of these normal tissues. Specific side effects to the skin, hair, and nails depend on the drug that the person receives.
Drugs that target EGFR
A common type of targeted therapy is directed against a molecule known as epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR). Although EGFR fuels the growth of cancer cells, it also plays a role in the normal growth of the skin, hair, and nails. That means rashes and changes to the hair and nails may occur after treatment with these drugs, including cetuximab (Erbitux), erlotinib (Tarceva), panitumumab (Vectibix) and lapatinib (Tykerb).
Overall, these side effects are often managed in most patients so that appearance of the skin, hair, and nails stays the same or are only slightly affected, and treatment can continue. It is important to note that the skin side effects associated with these drugs are not allergic reactions or infections.
General signs and symptoms
If you are prescribed a targeted therapy, talk with your doctor about what to expect about possible side effects, including how they will be treated if they do appear. Common signs and symptoms are outlined below.
Most patients taking drugs that target EGFR develop a rash on the face and upper body. It usually occurs within the first few weeks of taking these medications. Before the rash appears, there may be redness or a warm sensation of the skin on the face that may feel like sunburn. After several days, tender pimples and pus bumps appear, and the surrounding skin feels slightly tender. Rashes tend to be mild to moderate, but in some cases they are severe and cause significant physical and cosmetic discomfort.
Other symptoms may include the following:
- Pimples and red bumps on the face, neck, and upper chest or back; at times, the pimples may itch
- Tenderness in facial skin, with a sunburn-like sensation
- Itching of the skin, especially the scalp
- Tender sores inside the nose, corners of the mouth, or eyes
- Painful inflammation around nails, especially the thumbs and big toes
- Nails that become brittle and may loosen from the nail bed
- Fissures of the fingertips, which are similar to paper cuts
- Hair loss over the entire scalp and reduced hair on legs or arms
- Increased growth and curling of the eyelashes and eyebrows
- Increased facial hair growth
- Easy bruising of the skin
- Dry, flaky skin
- Dry, itchy eyes
The skin can also become very tender and itchy, interfering with daily activities and sleep. Vigorous scratching can result in breaks that may make the skin more prone to infections. The inflammation around the nails can make grooming, dressing, and other activities painful or difficult.
Sorafenib and sunitinib symptoms
Sorafenib (Nexavar) and sunitinib (Sutent) are two drugs that interact with multiple targets to stop or slow cancer growth. Most skin reactions are mild and manageable. However, 20% to 40% of people taking these drugs experience painful, thickened areas of skin on the hands and fee that may blister. These areas may also become tender to the point that they interfere with the person's daily activities, such as walking or holding objects.
In 20% to 40% of patients, a rash that may involve redness and a sensation of warmth or burning on the face or scalp occurs. Mild hair loss may be a side effect for up to 25% of patients on sorafenib, but it tends to be mild. Dry skin is also common and should be treated early to prevent the development of itching.
Vemurafenib (Zelboraf) symptoms
With vemurafenib (Zelboraf), up to 40% of people can develop a rash on the upper body, including the face. This rash involves the appearance of flat red spots. Even though this may be difficult for the patient, it is not recommended that patients stop taking the drug.
People may also develop thick calluses on the palms and soles, especially the heels and balls of the foot (in about one-third of people taking vemurafenib) and/or some type of skin growth (in about 20% of people). These skin growths usually appear within the second and third month of treatment and affect the face, chest, and upper back. Although it is possible that some of these are skin cancers, they are a type of cancer that does not spread and is not dangerous to a person's health.
Ipilimumab (Yervoy)
This drug stimulates the immune system in a person's body to become overactive and attack cancer cells. For about one-third of people taking this drug, the immune system reaction may cause rashes and itching on the skin. The rash is usually characterized by red bumps on the face and torso. The itching occurs on the legs, and sometimes the entire body, and it can be very bothersome, especially at night.
Another condition that may appear is pale spots on the skin or graying of the hair. This side effect is a result of the drug attaching to the cells that give skin its color. Interestingly, this side effect is also a sign the drug may be working well.
Everolimus (Afinitor) and temsirolimus (Torisel)
One out of five people can develop a bumpy rash on the arms and sometimes the legs. Usually appearing within the first few months of treatment, the rash heals without scarring. With these drugs, mouth sores that look like canker sores (called aphthous ulcers) will affect up to a third of people. These usually appear at the beginning and then go away over time.
Managing and relieving these reactions
Although rashes, dry skin, and nail and hair reactions are rarely severe, they often cause significant discomfort to the patient. In some cases, the patient may even want to stop cancer treatment because of these reactions. Therefore, it is important to talk with your doctor beforehand about what to expect and also tell your doctor as soon as you start feeling or seeing any such side effects. Early and effective treatments for these reactions are available. Health professionals who can help include an oncologist, oncology nurse, dermatologist (a doctor who specializes in skin problems), or ophthalmologist (a medical doctor who specializes in diseases and function of the eye).
The following suggestions may help avoid reactions and help relieve them if they do happen:
- Before you begin treatment, talk with your oncologist or a dermatologist to learn about its side effects. Ask what to do if a rash or other problems appear (such as how to get a prescription filled or the best way to see the doctor).
- At the first sign of a developing a reaction (such as a warm or burning sensation, pimples, nail fissures, or dry skin), tell your doctor or a dermatologist familiar with these reactions.
- Avoid the sun, and use a sunscreen with a high sun protection factor (SPF). Ideally, the SPF should be at least 15, and the sunscreen should contain zinc oxide. It should be applied every two hours or more frequently if sweating or swimming.
- Remember to use enough sunscreen. Apply more than half a teaspoon of sunscreen to each arm, the face and neck, and just over one teaspoon to the chest and abdomen, back, and each leg.
- Use a broad-brimmed hat if going outside and avoid being in direct sunlight between 10 AM and 4 PM.
- Use a mild soap in the shower, and avoid soaps with strong scents. Shower with lukewarm water and avoid long, hot showers. Also, avoid laundry detergent with strong perfumes.
- Apply a moisturizer within 15 minutes of showering or bathing to dry areas. Use hypoallergenic moisturizers that do not have perfumes or preservatives (such as Vanicream, Aveeno, CeraVe, Cetaphil, and Eucerin).
- Avoid anti-acne skin products containing alcohol, benzoyl peroxide, or retinoids, because they can dry out your skin.
- Your doctor may prescribe topical medicated creams, such as corticosteroids (alclometasone [Aclovate] or mometasone [Elocon, Momexin]) to effectively relieve symptoms of rash. A prescription is required for these drugs. In cases when the rash is very severe or covers a large area of the body, oral corticosteroids may be needed (such as prednisone or dexamethasone [multiple brand names]).
- Antibiotics in the tetracycline family (such as doxycycline and minocycline), usually taken two to four weeks in pill form, are an effective therapy for rashes and nail tenderness when taking cetuximab, erlotinib, panitumumab, and lapatinib.
- Whenever there is discharge of pus, your doctor may want a sample for a culture to determine the appropriate antibiotic treatment.
- When the skin is very dry and flaky, your dermatologist may prescribe a moisturizer containing urea or lactic acid. However, do not apply this type of moisturizer to sensitive or red areas of the skin.
- For the hand/foot skin reaction to sorafenib and sunitinib, use creams containing urea (carmol 20 or carmol 40), salicylic acid (Salex cream kit), or high potency corticosteroids (fluocinonide [multiple brand names], clobetasol [multiple brand names]. Gel insoles may also help. In addition, do your best to protect against injury or putting too much weight on hands and feet, especially during the first two months of treatment.
- For itching in one specific area (called localized itching), a cream containing a corticosteroid (alclometasone or mometasone) or an anesthetic (numbing medicine, such as lidocaine 2% or pramoxine [multiple brand names]) can be applied several times a day. For more generalized itching or itching that affects sleep, an antihistamine pill, such as cetirizine (Zyrtec) or diphenhydramine (Benadryl), can be taken as needed.

Schneck Named to '100 Great Community Hospitals' List
Schneck Medical Center has been named one of the "100 Great Community Hospitals" in the United States by Becker's Hospital Review; one of only three hospitals in Indiana to be named to the list including Major Hospital in Shelbyville and Margaret Mary Hospital in Batesville.
Stephanie Furlow, director of marketing and public relations at Schneck Medical Center, says the hospital was recognized for its demonstrated commitment to the health of the community through clinical excellence and service to the community. This is fourth time this year Schneck has been named to a prestigious Becker's list including "100 Great Hospitals," "100 Best Places to Work," and "Top 100 Leaders of Great Hospitals."
Becker's stated, "Whether independent or part of a larger health system, these hospitals have worked with limited resources to continually provide the quality of care and the experience patients expect."
The Becker's Hospital Review editorial team selected community hospitals based on rankings and awards from iVantage Health Analytics, Truven Health Analytics (formerly Thomson Reuters), Healthgrades and The Joint Commission. Hospitals do not pay and cannot pay to be included on this list.
"To be recognized as one of the best community hospitals in the country means we are succeeding in our 102-year-old mission of providing the highest quality of services to the communities we serve," said Gary A. Meyer, Schneck President/CEO, "This is a true testament to the exceptional care and service delivered by our physicians, clinicians and staff every day."

Jon Stewart
Not your ordinary Jewish funny man (okay, maybe he is).
There is a voice that Jon Stewart trots out on certain occasions.
High-pitched, wheedling, and nebbishy, it immediately summons to mind legions of nerdy young men wearing glasses. It is less an original impression and more an homage to every contemporary Jewish comedian's hero, rival, and guiding star, Woody Allen, the comic genius who shucked his last name while retaining his famously conflicted stance toward Judaism.
Like Allen (born Allen Konigsberg) Jonathan Stuart Leibowitz transformed himself into the more gentile sounding Jon Stewart without actually becoming any less Jewish in affect or sentiment.
Any comedian with a Jewish last name (or the remnants of one), and a literate, bookish shtick, will inevitably face the Woody comparisons. Jon Stewart's Woody voice is a small, telling indication of his willingness to not only attack those comparisons head-on, but make it a part of his own persona. The same could be said of Stewart's relationship to Judaism as a whole.
In many ways, Jon Stewart is only nominally a Jewish comedian. His enormously popular Comedy Central series, The Daily Show, is a comedic take on current events and public affairs--a sort of alternative front page for an audience who prefers Stewart to the New York Times.
Stewart rocketed to fame during the lowest years of the Bush administration, when liberal wrath at the excesses and incompetency of Republican leadership propelled The Daily Show's brand of snarky outrage into cultural ubiquity.
The Road to The Daily Show
Born in 1962 to a middle-class Jewish family in New Jersey (his father was a physicist, and his mother a teacher), Stewart has served longer in the trenches of comedy than many Daily Show enthusiasts might be aware. Debuting as a standup comedian shortly after graduating from William & Mary in 1984, Stewart scuffled through various low-profile gigs before becoming a featured presence on MTV in the early 1990s. Graduating from writing sketches to hosting his own show, Stewart took the reins of his pleasingly lackadaisical talk show--named, conveniently enough, The Jon Stewart Show--in 1993, with B-list celebrity guests like John Stamos sharing time with the comedian's off-kilter musings.
The MTV series was a cable hit, eventually making the leap to syndication, where it was forced into competition with the big boys of late night. Stewart's show flopped in its new time slot and was canceled in 1995. Following his show's cancellation, Stewart filled his time with mostly forgettable roles in movies like Half Baked, Playing for Keeps, and The First Wives Club (from which his scenes were ultimately deleted).
Meanwhile, Comedy Central had debuted a new program of its own called "The Daily Show" in 1996. Hosted by former SportsCenter anchor Craig Kilborn, it was meant to be a snarky news roundup with an emphasis on entertainment reporting. The show was popular, and when Kilborn took a job hosting CBS' Late Late Show in 1999, Stewart was hired as his replacement. Under Stewart's guardianship, The Daily Show brought in a remarkably gifted group of correspondents (including Stephen Colbert, Steve Carell, Rob Corddry, and Ed Helms), and shifted the focus from popular culture to politics.
The timing was ideal; with the contested 2000 election, the September 11 attacks, and the war in Iraq just around the corner. The Daily Show would tap into a growing public desire to stay abreast of current events without being bored stiff by the nightly news. The Daily Show not only has come to fill in it viewers in on the news, but also offer its own deliciously witty, rip-roaring take on the day's events, often leaning on cleverly culled video footage to poke holes in the well-maintained façade of public discourse.

And you fail, like all Linux fanboys do.
I know. That's why I actually answer. The best way to make a troll go away is to make him look dumb.
So look at the desktop market. Who except you uses that thing called gNewSense? I'd bet there are more PC-BSD users around.
Now tell me again about the relevance of the market.
Their comments about it are usually along the lines of boots up to slow, can't boot, too slow, clashes often, Xorg doesn't work (Most common), can't get WIFI to work, can't detect USB, only uses KDE, torture to the eyes
At least gNewSense users are more permanent and besides it's kernel Linux is used far more then all the BSDs (excluding Mac and Windows) put together.
So chill out BSD bitches!!!!
Thus, Windows must be better than Linux. Good riddance.
