B-Boy Bouillabaisse
This playlist was inspired by my brother Joe who, the other night, introduced me to the Funk Factory track listed below. I already had "Root Down", which is an amazing track, but I had to hunt down most of these. The goal was, in general, not just to find songs that were sampled in a Beastie Boys song per se, because:
- That list would have been exhausting
- And not as interesting
So, the list criteria was loosely, "a song that was formed the basis of a Beastie Boys song such that you can hear the influence throughout". I also tried to steer clear of songs that were overly obvious (like Beatles and Zeppelin samples). The general idea is that if you are a Beastie Boys fan and you have not heard any of these songs before, you will hear it and within moments say, "Hey! This is 'Root Down'!" And then we all laugh and we all learn something. Music History, folks!
|Sampled In…
|Happy Birthday
|Jimi Hendrix and Curtis Knight
|Jimmy James (Check Your Head)
|Root Down (And Get It)
|Jimmy Smith
|Root Down (Ill Communication)
|Curtis Mayfield
|Eggman (Paul's Boutique)
|Howling For Judy
|Jeremy Steig
|Sure Shot (Ill Communication)
|It's Yours
|T La Rock
|There It Is (Licensed To Ill)
|Shuckin' The Corn
|Eric Weissberg & Deliverance
|5 Piece Chicken Dinner (Paul's Boutique)
|Last Bongo in Belgium (Breakers Mix)
|Incredible Bongo Band
|Lookin' Down the Barrel of a Gun (Paul's Boutique)
|Rien Ne Va Plus
|Funk Factory
|Car Thief (Paul's Boutique)
|Put On Train
|Gene Harris & The Three Sounds
|What Comes Around (Paul's Boutique)
|Loose Booty
|Sly & The Family Stone
|Shadrach (Paul's Boutique)
|Flute Thing
|The Blues Project
|Flute Loop (Ill Communication)
|Loran's Dance
|Idris Muhammad
|To All The Girls… (Paul's Boutique)
Kind of a neat thing happened as I was compiling this. I realized that I ended up with a song that was an obvious album opener in the "Jimmy James" riff ("…the first song on our next new album!") as well as almost the entire B-side of Paul's Boutique, minus the Bouillabaisse, so I ordered those items accordingly. In fitting with what I think the Beasties wishes may well have been, I threw in a flute loop track deep on the b-side before proceeding to the really long outro track.
As always, if you actually know me and want a copy of this that you can listen to in classic mix tape style (but digitally, you know), drop me a line. Enjoy!

Advice: Do not book via FLYGHT HUB at ANY COST. I booked 3 tickets Chicago-Toronto-Montreal online. Got itinerary and Invoice (1035 dollars). Two days before the flight, when i tried to print my tickets: "ticked are cancelled". No explaination, no raison, nothing. No email to tell me there is a problem of any kind. No way to speak to anybody over the phone from FLYGHT HUB after 40 minutes waiting over the phone. Still do not know if they charge me or not. I had to book my tickets directly with company, but of course, 2 days before, its cost me the double. How can a company with so many terrible reviews, and obviously a big problem can still be allowed to operate ????

Let's clear one thing: Vignamaggio is not your average super cozy family run agriturismo villas but a beautiful huge wineyard villa with a very limited number of but friendly staff. as long as you adjust your expectations along with this fact, your stay in the villa will be smooth.
we stayed around 6 days in the first week of May and the summary of our experience:
* I'll say my closing comment first. we'll definitely come back to this villa very soon bringing our friends this time.
* we were enchanted with the beauty of the villa and the surrounding towns in chianti region
the facilities in the villa.
* the winetasting tour was a total fun especially thanks to its super fun guide Giovanna and beautiful Vignamaggio chianti classico DOCG wines.
we had a troublesome very late checkin (arrived around 10 pm). it was all my fault as it clearly states that there's no late reception. Yet, the reception acted responsibly and arranged the key and stuff to help us to settle in. the restaurant staff also helped us to find our way in this big villa.
I urge you to arrive before the reception closes and before it gets dark because the lighting around and in the villa is not enough for you to explore and find your way.
always check with reception about the opening hours or restaurant. on may 1st, we dressed for a proper loong dinner at the restaurant, but we found out that it was closed due to "national holiday". on such occasions, dont panic as Greve town is 5 minute drive away and its restaurants and pizzerias are open till late hours.
the breakfast was worth its price.
the free WiFi is sometimes troublesome. strongly suggest you but 20EUR/5GB internet package from Vodafone Italy. not only for the villa but for your italy trip.
- Official Description (provided by the hotel):
- Vignamaggio is one of the oldest wine estates situated in the heart of the Chianti Classico between Siena and Florence. Inside the renaissance villa, where the famous Monna Lisa painted by Leonardo was born, we have suites and rooms; the farmhouses close to the main villa have been renewed according to the typical Tuscan style. Here we offer rooms and apartments. ... more less
- Reservation Options:
- TripAdvisor is proud to partner with Venere, Expedia, Booking.com, Travelocity, Priceline, Hotels.com and Odigeo so you can book your Vignamaggio reservations with confidence. We help millions of travelers each month to find the perfect hotel for both vacation and business trips, always with the best discounts and special offers.

Molly's progress
Last year, we adopted a whippet(mix?) from a kill shelter. We let Max(Alpha dog) pick from several choices. He picked Molly. He was so dog aggressive(he was also a rescue with no control) he would have possible hurt (or worse) a dog he did not like.
She was so fearful, she would not walk/lead/move. She was extremely emaciated, petting her was unpleasant because of exposed hip joint/ribs/shoulder joints.
She needed a special diet(lamb and rice or chicken and rice)and a LOT of support and encouragement to come anywhere close to being a normal dog.
I have worked with several aggressive dogs and successfully calmed their behavior. I was not sure I had the knowlege to work with a basket case.
We have a fenced yard and I exercise her by kicking soccer balls so she can get a burst of full speed and stop the ball(capture instinct). She has learned to walk on a leash moderately well.
So, last week, I took both of them to PetsMart on a dog food run. First time she has been anywhere except the vet and back to the shelter for the staff to see a success story. She did well, locked up twice---just flopped on the ground and shivered. Like she used to do. Those episodes lasted mere seconds. Someone would walk by and she would jump up to be petted.
She sat up in the seat, looking out the window of the van---another first.
She does not like loud motorcycles or the garbage truck.Will run from one sdie of the yard to the other to bark and chase them away. (Good sign) I can now even correct her for doing that(unwanted behavior) without her locking up. I even yelled at her from across the yard yesterday and got a look as she complied that was---"What? I scared that mean motorcycle away!"
She will climb up on my lap and go to sleep---instead of needing stroked and petted all the time.
She will not do stairs. I have heard greyhounds and whippets do not like stairs. I know she does not. She can navigate them if I force her, but I have only done that twice---choosing not to instead.
All in all, since Max lets he climb/chew on him whenever she wishes, the progress is amazing. Much more difficult to take away the fear than to still the aggression.
It is SO NICE to hear such an uplifting story. Molly sounds like she is definitely feeling like she fits in with her pack. Kudos for putting in the time and energy to help her become "just a dog" without the issues. Besides all dogs have to keep the monster motorcycles away, especially those Harley's!

I have a question about the ingredient "aleppo pepper" on the recipe "Chicken , Sausage and Red Pepper Paella " from thirschfeld. Is there a possible substitution for this?
hardlikearmour is a trusted home cook.
Sure. You can just use crushed red pepper flakes, but scale back by half to start as even the milder California versions tend to be a bit spicier than aleppo in my experience. It's much easier to add more heat than to take it away!
Kenzi is the Managing Editor of Food52.
There is! You can substitute with four parts sweet paprika and one part cayenne pepper.

Afridi has played one Test match, for the Pakistan national cricket team against the Sri Lanka national cricket team. It was the same match which saw Naved-ul-Hasan make his Test debut.[2]
Riaz is a cousin of Pakistani footballer Yasir Afridi. In 2007 Riaz signed a contract with the Indian Cricket League (ICL) and represented the Lahore Badshahs, which put Riaz's future as a Pakistani Test player at risk. During the summer months Riaz plays for Great Ayton CC in the NYSD league in the north east of England where he has helped them win the league and consistently finished top wicket taker in the league with his fast swing bowling and big hitting.[citation needed]

So I'm due to bottle three batches (10 gallon and two five gallon) in the coming weeks and have no spare bottles as they are all full in my closet it is a very bittersweet problem. I called the local waste company's recycling number and inquired about buying a lot of bottles. they said no. I tried to explain to the manager on the phone that reusing is actually more "green" than recycling. He didn't seem to understand what i was getting at. Where have you (read: ya'll) found low to no cost bottles?
Too bad you did not live near me as I have a neighbor with several cases of bottles that are just sitting there looking for a good home.
Go to a bar or club they may be willing to let you look at the bottles.
Check with local bars.
Put up an ad in CL and offer to pay a nickel each for pop tops.
Drink more beer.
Make Beer, Not War.
Odds are the guy working at the recycling plant, even as the manager, probably is more interested in doing his job (which is making his company profitable) than helping out some homebrewer get some empty bottles. Waste companies recycle not because of some higher calling to save the earth but because it's part of their business model. Get paid to haul the trash and then sort and sell the recyclables as a commodity then use the recycling as a marketing win by talking about how green they are.
I guess what I'm saying is that a waste company is the wrong approach.
Personally, I find that the best cappable bottles are returnables. Go to your local liquor store, order a case of beer in returnables. Drink the beer. Fail to return the bottles. And they come in an awesome, sturdy case.
Jason 'Kornkob' Robinson
I wanna move to Theory. Everything works in Theory.
Here in Michigan, I can go to any good beer store and buy the empties for a dime apiece. The store doesn't care, because they would get paid the same amount anyway. Plus, they are very willing to make their potential customers happy.
Since I started kegging, my desire for bottles has diminished, but I still look for cool ones. I have enough in the garage to fill any need I currently have, and some plain brown bottles for a few competitions.
Here, there are no returnables, so that isn't an option.
I posted on the local freecycle group (it is a yahoo group)
And within a couple of days had 3 cases from old brewers who were on a hiatus from brewing.
Drink good beer and start keeping the bottles and reuse them. I know that wont help you today but that is how I got my bottle collection going. Ask you buddies at work to save there bottle for you if they are crown type.
I've given everyone I know an earful about saving bottles. I get a sixer here and there, but with 20 gallons to bottle soon (2 weeks) I'm looking at somewhere between 8-9 cases needed. I would need everyone to really step up their consumption to pull it off this way.

More health related news from around the web on my other blog at EP Monthly. ___ This site is an AMAZON affiliate. Purchasing products through Amazon by clicking on THIS LINK will support this blog at no cost to you. ___ Arkansas personal injury attorney Michael Smith implies that outpatient clinics should all have "the right kind of life-saving equipment" at hand at all times. He never says what the "right kind of life-saving equipment" should be, but mark his words – if a patient ever suffers a bad outcome in an outpatient clinic, he'll be sure to find something that the clinic didn't have that would have prevented the bad outcome. I hate articles like this. On their face, they are appealing. Sure, everyone should have the "right kind of equipment." That's like saying that attorneys should always file the "right kind of motions" and use the "right kind of case precedent" in their briefs. But if you ask personal injury attorney Michael Smith exactly what equipment to purchase in order to be compliant with whatever standards he thinks should apply, he'll suddenly change the subject. I guarantee it. Inappropriate opinion by expert witness surgeon Dr. Michael Drew causes $19.5 million judgment against treating surgeon to be overturned by Pennsylvania Superior Court. Court opinion (.pdf file) notes how Dr. Drew's opinion on how treating physician breached the standard of care "morphed each time he opined on how [the treating physician] breached it" and how Dr. Michael Drew's opinion created an "untenable" "no-win" situation for the treating physician. Kudos to Pennsylvania Superior Court Judge Jack Panella for the well-reasoned court opinion. Recent court opinion expands liability for medical providers. A passenger on a Royal Caribbean Cruise fell and hit his head while his ship was docked in Bermuda. The patient was then wheeled back onto the ship where a nurse allegedly didn't evaluate his head trauma and a doctor didn't even evaluate him for four hours. After the doctor examined him, he started the patient on a mannitol drip and transferred the patient to a Bermuda hospital for further care. A week later, the patient died from his injuries. Maritime law of the US normally prevents a shipowner from being liable for negligent medical provided by the ship's crew. However, the US Court of Appeals held that evolution of legal norms, rise of a complex cruise industry, and progression of modern technology have made those prior laws inapplicable (.pdf file). Pertinent quotes from the opinion include "medical negligence triggers the same equitable concerns whether it arises on land or at sea" and "we can discern no sound basis for allowing a special exception for onboard medical negligence." I'm guessing that there will be a petition to the Supreme Court on this case. Nearly $1 billion in medical malpractice payments from VA hospital coming from federal treasury, not the VA budget … and payouts are occurring at a higher rate than in the private sector. The Veteran's Administration declined a request for an interview in the article. A vet who had his esophagus punctured gave an interview and stated "If I had it to do all over again, I'd never go to the VA." New Jersey's St Lukes Hospital closing its behavioral health unit for cost cutting measures. Police and county prosecutors concerned that closing the unit will increase the burden on law enforcement. After closure, patients requiring inpatient behavioral care will be held in emergency departments until transfer can be arranged to remaining behavioral health centers in New Jersey or Pennsylvania. Ummmm. Yeah. I'm suffering from acute incarceritis and need an evaluation quickly. Utah's ...Read More »

A False Alarm
There aren't too many times that the staff gets the giggles when a patient's monitor shows ventricular tachycardia. Normally, there is a flurry of activity while everyone wheels a code cart into a patient's room ready to deliver lifesaving shocks. So when the new nurse was halfway through her second day working in the ED, she couldn't believe how calm the staff was when the cardiac monitor began alarming in Room 8. Room 8 was Clarence. He had dementia and was a transfer from the nursing home for mental status change. When Clarence arrived by ambulance, he seemed just like the same old Clarence they'd seen dozens of times in the ED before. Toothless smile. Southern drawl to his speech. Always wanted coffee – cream no sugar. A lot of times staff would try to avoid putting Clarence on a cardiac monitor because the monitor would often give false alarms when they were attached to him. But the paramedics stated that Clarence had some PVCs on the way to the emergency department, so the triage nurse dutifully attached EKG leads to Clarence's chest. About 20 minutes later, Clarence's monitor showed ventricular tachycardia. "BLEEP BLEEP BLEEP BLEEP BLEEEP" went the alarms. One nurse and the secretary looked at each other, smiled, and shook their heads. The new nurse looked quizically about the department, obviously wondering why no one was running to bring the crash cart into Clarence's room. The charge nurse started to get up from her chair, then sat back down and continued charting. "Mary, can you go and check on Room 8 for me?" "Um … sure," said the new nurse as she walked briskly into Clarence's room. Thirty seconds later, Mary came back to the nursing station with a stunned look and a red face. "Everything OK in there?" asked the charge nurse. "Well … yes," she said as she regained her composure. "It seems that the only thing going fast in that room was Clarence's hand under the sheets." "Welcome to the team. You'll get to know these patients as well as we do in no time. As for Clarence, I'll take care of him. A nice cup of coffee — cream, no sugar — usually breaks his 'ventricular tachycardia' fairly quickly." "But did he have a pulse?" asked one of the doctors. Mary smirked. "I'm kind of a … new … nurse. Maybe you could help me check that?" The doc smirked. "See, you're going to fit in here just fine." ———————– This and all posts about patients may be fictional, may be my experiences, may be submitted by readers for publication here, or may be any combination of the above.

Sites to Download Free Pictures
Getty Images has earned a reputation as a copyright troll for demanding hundreds to thousands of dollars in licensing fees and penalties from bloggers and other web sites that use a Getty photo without a license. Getty uses a search engine that scours all of the pictures on the internet looking for copyright infringers, then sends off demand letters to anyone flagged in its system. At least one law firm has fought back, suing Getty to get a court declaration that Getty's tactics should not apply to thumbnail images. The article contains a copy of the lawsuit if you happen to get a letter from Getty and want to sue them. Most people won't have the desire to fight one of the demand letters and will instead just pay Getty Images what one person labeled as an "extortion fee" to settle the case. I completely acknowledge and agree that photographers deserve to be compensated for their work. But copyright laws make exceptions for use of copyrighted materials (including pictures). For example, if I created the changes at the right to parody of Getty's iStock licensing model where it costs $45 (three "credits" costing $15 each) to download one picture, the transformative changes I made to Getty's logo would fall under the "parody" exception of copyright law. In addition, under US Copyright law, words and short phrases such as names, titles, and slogans and typeface are not subject to copyright. Even if you choose to pay Getty's outrageous licensing fees, you'll need an attorney to decipher Getty's license. For example, as some of the 16 restrictions on use of its images, Getty states that licensees may not … 5. incorporate the Content in any product that results in a re-distribution or re-use of the Content (such as electronic greeting card web sites, web templates and the like) or is otherwise made available in a manner such that a person can extract or access or reproduce the Content as an electronic file. *** 12. use or display the Content in an electronic format that enables it to be downloaded or shared in any peer-to-peer or similar file sharing arrangement; Since anyone can right-click and download an image from a blog post, by including a Getty image in your blog, you are violating Getty's terms of service. As part of the license, Getty demands that … You agree to indemnify, defend and hold iStock, its affiliates, its Content providers and their respective directors, officers, employees, shareholders, partners and agents (collectively, the "iStock Parties") harmless from and against any and all claims, liability, losses, damages, costs and expenses (including reasonable legal fees on a solicitor and client basis) incurred by any iStock Party as a result of or in connection with any breach or alleged breach by you or anyone acting on your behalf of any of the terms of this Agreement. In other words, if Getty alleges that you have breached any of the terms of its license agreement, you give Getty permission to sue you for damages and you agree to pay all of the damages plus pay for all of Getty's attorneys' fees. Finally, Getty requires you to acknowledge that YOU HAVE READ THIS AGREEMENT, UNDERSTAND IT, AND HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO SEEK INDEPENDENT LEGAL ADVICE PRIOR TO AGREEING TO IT That's an awful lot of risk and expense to go through just to put a picture on a blog, isn't it? Violate their restrictive and confusing licensing agreement and Getty can sue you and make you pay the fees of the lawyers that are suing you. Since Getty has already demonstrated its penchant for filing lawsuits ...Read More »
Healthcare Update — 10-21-2014
More healthcare related news from around the web on my other blog at EP Monthly Let's call the first part of this post the Ebola Chronicles Treating one Ebola patient would wipe out the ICU in an average-sized hospital and may even bankrupt some smaller facilities. Most states won't even allow disposal of waste from Ebola patients. Then there's the Ebola patient in the US you didn't know about. Doctor infected with Ebola while working for the WHO in Sierra Leone was treated in Emory Hospital's biocontainment unit for the past 6 weeks. Now is "well on his way to a full recovery." Baylor Medical Center in Texas requires that patients knock on glass door and answer Ebola screening questions before being allowed in emergency department. Clipboard idiot walking alongside Dallas Ebola patient Amber Vinson and directing people in hazmat suits grabs hazmat trash bag and discards it, then boards the flight — with no hazmat gear. Were he and his clipboard quarantined after touching waste from the Ebola patient? Of course not. The only conclusion we can make from this scenario is that clipboards must prevent Ebola. Vomiting is now an actionable offense. California's Southwestern College evacuates and institutes quarantine after student who flew on same airplane as Amber Vinson gets sick and vomits in class But vomiting and dying … not so much. Patient on Nigeria flight to JFK vomits and dies. Officials give corpse a "cursory" exam, declare he does not have Ebola, then whisk him from the airplane. Nothing to see here, folks. Move along. Move along. Don't look now … actress Tori Spelling quarantined in hospital with symptoms of Ebola. Well, she did have a fever and an "uncontrollable" cough, but she was hospitalized for bronchitis. That reminds me. I have symptoms of Ebola, too. My muscles are sore … after I worked out yesterday. Just wait until flu season hits. And finally, the lawyers are already figuring out ways to profit from Ebola, suggesting that hospitals may have liability if they miss a diagnosis of Ebola. Now back to regular news … Buying insurance on the Obamacare exchange? Last year's enrollment period began October 1. This year, you can enroll and find out how much your rates have increased … on November 15, 2014 … after the elections. This strategic timing can only mean that rates are set to skyrocket. If they were trending downward, the elected officials who voted to pass Obamacare would be using that fact in their campaigns. Want to see the names of the numbskulls who voted for this abominable law? Roll call of Senators who voted for Obamacare (a party line vote by Democrats) Roll call of House members who voted for Obamacare (pretty much a party line vote by Democrats as well) Did I mention that elections are a couple of weeks away and that many of these people want to be re-elected? More on the microbiome. Stress and shock may really cause a heart attack – by affecting the bacteria present in arterial walls. The stress hormones released during sudden stress may cause the bacterial biofilm over the arterial walls to dissolve, causing placques within the walls to rupture. In the future, managing bacteria within an arterial plaque (carotid arteries typically have Pseudomonas growing inside) may be just as important as managing a patient's cholesterol. What happens to all the kids who are sent from schools to the emergency department for psychiatric evaluations? In 92.2% of cases, they're sent home, and in half of those cases they aren't even given psychiatric follow up. The study notes that only ...Read More »

UC Davis researchers have discovered that they can erase certain memories in mice by using flashes of light. China is cracking down on pharmaceutical price fixing. Some company executives received prison sentences of between 2 and 4 years for their actions – although unfortunately those prison sentences were suspended. Government department heads are also being investigated since they are responsible for and must be punished for law violations committed by their subordinates. Even the cats were amazed. 18 year old woman who had habit of chewing on her hair goes to doctor with abdominal pain and malnourishment. Rushed to surgery where a 9 pound hairball was removed. Yes, you read that correctly. A nine pound hairball. Like she had a baby Cousin Itt inside of her. The Limits of Friendship. How many friends can an average person realistically have in their social circle? Based on human brain size … about …. Oh go on and read the article. The discussion is pretty interesting. Baylor University Medical Center reportedly at risk of losing all federal funding if it doesn't submit an acceptable action plan regarding psychiatric patient elopement. CMS inspectors recently found six cases in which psychiatric patients walked away from the hospital's emergency department before treatment concluded and determined that those "elopements" put patients in "immediate jeopardy" of their health and safety. The Netherlands has a slightly different way to treat patients with severe psychiatric problems: Euthanization. The rate of death by lethal injection for patients with severe psychiatric problems tripled from 14 cases in 2012 to 42 cases in 2013. Counting "terminal sedation," euthanasia accounts for one in eight deaths in the Netherlands. But at least the patients in the Netherlands have insurance – just like us. No more curly fries for me for a while. Woman puts potato in her vagina after being assured by her mother that doing so would be a fail-safe contraceptive method. Turns out mom was right. Guys tend to run the other way when they see roots growing out of your hoo hah. Fortunately, doctors were able to remove the budding spud without surgery. And if anyone makes any Mr. Potatohead jokes, I'm going to be sick. I just know it. The hormones from birth control pills found in sewage found to cause feminization of of male minnows. This caused the number of minnows in the Ontario waterways to decrease to 1% of the usual population. As a result, the number of lake trout decreased – lake trout are the minnow's main predator. Also as a result, the number of insects in the area began increasing – insects are the minnow's main source of food. When estrogen was removed from the water supplies, all of the changes reversed. Wait a minute. Obamacare requires that birth control pills be provided at no cost. That must mean that the government wants less fish and more insects in our country. What effect has the Affordable Care Act had on employment in the US? Mostly negative, according to this paper from the Mercatus Center at George Mason University. It creates financial incentives for employees to work less. Part ...Read More »
Better With Vomiting
A 3 year old was brought to the emergency department for persistent vomiting. He was seen in the emergency department a couple of days beforehand, was treated, and released. He still looked well-hydrated and the mom said that she had run out of the medication he had been given. So we looked in the old records to find out what medication he was given and found this entry for the history of present illness: Mother states he has had a fever of 101-102 for the last two days. He vomited this morning. He has drank some on the way here. She states he is acting better now. And all I could think of was the video below that is in one of my son's saved video compilations. I wasn't going to link to it initially, but then, eh, it reminds me of college and I have a sick sense of humor. ***WARNING *** This video is disgusting. Do not watch it if you have a weak stomach or if you are drinking beer or planning to drink beer.Read More »

Five months later, the hospital notifies her that her biopsy specimens actually belonged to another patient and that she never had rectal cancer. Now she's suing. Five most common presenting complaints at Kings County Hospital emergency department in Brooklyn: Headache, chest pain, pregnancy, limb pain, back pain. Vaccines are good? Of the 100 or so children who died from influenza last year, 90% did not receive an influenza vaccination. Vaccines are bad? 15 Syrian children die and another 50 children sickened after "bungled" measles immunizations occur. Medics may have accidentally used a muscle relaxant to reconstitute the powdered measles vaccine. Archaeologists uncover 700 year old skeletons in England. They were laid to rest holding hands and their fingers were still entwined together when they were found. Your children belong to US. Parents remove 5 year old son from British hospital after being refused proton beam treatment for his brain cancer. Take child to Spain to continue treatment in addition to obtaining proton beam therapy. Britain then issues an international arrest warrant against parents based on "explicit medical advice" that the child's "life was in danger." Interpol picks the family up in Spain's Materno Infantile Hospital. North Carolina's Fayetteville VA Medical Center converting to an urgent care clinic because the company with which it contracted "failed to staff the emergency department with "an adequate number of well-trained physicians." Veterans at the facility have reported that there was no medical officer on duty at the facility and that there have been long waits in the emergency departments. And … taking a play from George Bush's playbook … many veterans were told to just "go to the emergency department" for their health care while they were waiting months for their appointments with primary care physicians. One 69 year old veteran who was having heart palpitations with a rate in the 150s went to the VA emergency department at 3:30 PM and learned that there was no doctor there to evaluate or treat him. The put him into a monitored bed and left him there until a doctor could see him. The veteran and his wife were "scared by the lack of care" they received. Let that quote sink in for a second. They have insurance yet they were scared because had no medical care. Another example of how medical insurance doesn't mean a thing if you don't have the medical providers willing to provide medical care in exchange for the insurance. More importantly, the couple noted that nurses in the emergency department were "turning many veterans away and telling many to return at 8 p.m., when a doctor would be on duty." If true, the Fayetteville VA Medical Center is violating federal EMTALA requirements. If a patient comes to an emergency department seeking medical care, the patient must receive a medical screening examination to determine whether an emergency medical condition exists. I won't hold my breath waiting for news of the investigation of these incidents. Chinese patients increasingly violent when they are unhappy with the treatment from their doctors.

In May, 2012, a woman attacked a young nurse in Nanjing with a knife because ...Read More »
Battling diarrhea with … yeast
Recently-published meta-analysis shows that the yeast Saccharomyces boulardii has "clear beneficial effects" on children with acute diarrhea. Pooling of 22 studies showed that duration and amount of diarrhea was significantly reduced in children who took the supplement. Interesting back story to the discovery of Saccharomyces boulardii: The yeast is found on the skin of lychee fruits. French scientist Henri Boulard discovered Saccharomyces boulardii in the 1920s after noticing that natives of Southeast Asia were chewing on the skin of lychee fruits in an attempt to control the symptoms or cholera. You can purchase Saccharomyces boulardii from Amazon without a prescription. Saccharomyces boulardii is related to another yeast – Saccharomyces cerevisiae – which is found on the skin of grapes and plums and is used in brewing beer and baking. Antibodies to Saccharomyces cerevisiae are often seen in patients who have inflammatory bowel disease such as Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, suggesting that Saccharomyces cerevisiae may play a role in bowel inflammation. Then I begin wondering whether the link between beer and "beer belly" may be related to more than just the alcohol and the extra calories in the beer.Read More »

Time for a self-portrait... do I have the willpower to complete a 365 Days project? Probably not....
Nice one dad!
I don't think I could it. But is it not a wonderful idea?! One for my list of things to do before I die. Great capture by the way.
Hello! nice to see you.
I just wanted to let you know that I used this picture for my blog, pirathecaire.com. As you can see if you visit pirathecaire, it is a French blog, so if my comment is not clear, blame it on my poor English. ;) For your information, as you may not read French, pirathecaire is a blog about librarianship.
On my blog, if you roll over your picture, you will be able to read the «title» of the picture. I use a standard phrasing for each CC picture I put on my blog, that could be translated by something like «Picture created by [your name] under a Creative Commons [type of your license] license.» Your picture is also linked to its page on your flickr gallery, so the readers can track it back to you.
Thank you!

I know how it's made specially using thermal and chemical methods, but why is it popular?
Also, I'm getting the SUPCASE Unicorn Beetle Premium Hybrid Protective Case (Frost Clear/Black).
Has anyone else tried it? How good is it? Any better cases you could suggest?

I own them both, and wish there were more coming. They have a very old-school feel and gameplay, but the gorgeous looks of modern games.
Mutant Storm will make you go and buy a dual-stick joystick, like the Thrustmaster Firestorm [thrustmaster.com]. It's a lot more fun than Crimsonland. Much more action, and it always shoots where you point, just like Robotrom -- no separate fire-button action needed.

Apple settles freemium kids' app class action
Apple has agreed to settle a class action lawsuit over freemium apps aimed at children—titles that could be downloaded for free, but offered in-app game purchases. As originally reported by Law360 (subscription link), Apple will offer a $5 iTunes credit for claims that a minor bought in-game items without knowledge or permission. If the in-game items cost more than $5, Apple will offer a matching iTunes credit, and if the charges exceeded $30, the user can claim a cash refund.
A group of parents first sued Apple in 2011 over the "bait apps" in question. An email notice will be sent to more than 23 million iTunes account holders "who made a 'Game Currency' purchase in one or more apps." The settlement must receive preliminary approval from a federal judge before Apple can start accepting claims. [via GigaOM]

Former President George H.W. Bush endorsed Republican presidential front-runner Mitt Romney today, urging the party to end a divisive primary and rally behind his candidacy.
Former first lady Barbara Bush was discharged from Houston Methodist Hospital this morning after six days of treatment for pneumonia.
Barbara Bush said the other day that the 2012 presidential race has been "the worst campaign I've ever seen in my life."
When Jennifer McCrea -- perhaps the best-connected fundraiser in Manhattan -- meets a billionaire to ask for money, she almost never schleps to his office, instead choosing neutral ground at a local coffee shop.
At a recent campaign rally, Representative Michele Bachmann of Minnesota, who is seeking the Republican nomination for president, tried to quash a narrative that some people find too irresistible to drop. A woman at the rally asked the candidate about reported divisions between Bachmann and Sarah Palin. Bachmann brushed it off.
Mitt Romney, the front-runner in the Republican presidential contest, will receive the backing of former President George H.W. Bush tomorrow, Romney's campaign announced today.
The war on women, waged mostly by men, has given way to the war among women, waged by women on one another.
"She's wild connector."
- Barbara Bush on Nov 05, 2013

It's sad to see that the first comment ON A CHESS PUZZLE is religious garbage. I'm fairly sure that if a comment promoting atheism were first (which it wouldn't be, as atheists would have the common sense to not bring politics/religion into a chess puzzle) that it would be deleted after heavy backlash. Instead, the first comment is a biblical verse that has no relevance to the puzzle and is considered appropriate and not spam.
I so agree with this even though i believe in a religion i think you shouldn't preech/oppose your views on others and especially when it isn't relevant!
very easy
very good
Not much thought required.

That the five justices in the majority vote favoring the Republican nominee all had been elevated to the high court by Republican presidents (four by Ronald Reagan, one by George H. W. Bush) meant the outcome would inevitably be seen in starkly political terms.
And so it is today, despite the admonition of Associate Justice Antonin Scalia (one of the pro-Bush five in 2000) that people should simply "Get over it!" as he's said on a number of occasions.
"Voters who cast ballots incompetently are not entitled to have election officials toil to divine these voters' intentions," columnist George Will writes in the Washington Post, referring to the chad debacle. "Al Gore got certain Democratic-dominated canvassing boards to turn their recounts into unfettered speculations and hunches about the intentions of voters who submitted inscrutable ballots."
"Gore's lawyers persuaded the easily persuadable state Supreme Court – with a majority of Democratic appointees – to rewrite the law [requiring counties to certify their results within seven days]," Will writes.

"Entry level" is a relative term. For Nissan, for example, that means a $12k Versa. For Mercedes, it means the $30,000 CLA. For Porsche, the $50k Boxster. In Ferrari terms, that translates to the $200k California. But what does it mean for Koenigsegg, a company that makes supercars that sell for upwards of $1 million?

Arizona Cardinals
The Pulse: Cards' Fitzgerald still an elite receiver
Every day, ArizonaSports.com asks readers a question. It's the Sanderson Ford Poll Question of the Day, and it can be found midway down the right side of our home page.
This time, we asked whether Arizona Cardinals receiver Larry Fitzgerald is still playing at an elite level despite being 30 years old. While it seems like a fair question, the results were overwhelming -- Fitzgerald is still an elite NFL wide receiver.
A total of 533 votes were submitted, 63 percent of those said Fitzgerald is "absolutely" an elite receiver, while 14 percent said he's past his prime and 23 percent said they would reserve judgement until after the 2014 season.
Fitzgerald's numbers improved in 2013 after declining for most of the past five seasons, though much of that may be attributable to the Cardinals' woeful quarterback situation. The future Hall of Famer has caught 846 passes in his career for 11,367 yards and 87 touchdowns.

MAMARONECK, N.Y. – Carly Rose Sonenclar, the 13-year old "X Factor"
contestant from Mamaroneck, emerged a top contender after her performance of Celine Dion's "My Heart Will Go On" Wednesday night.
Sonenclar laughed off comments from judges Simon Cowell and Demi Lovato questioning her age while wearing a long, chiffon gown and looking considerably more mature than in previous weeks.
"You're 13 years old? Then I don't believe that you're a human being," Cowell said. "Because you can't do that at 13. Your control on that song ... and that note at the end was absolutely incredible."
Lovato even groaned at Sonenclar's talent. "Ugh, you are so good," she said. "And it honestly just doesn't make sense."
"I don't believe that that's your voice," Lovato went on. "I feel like Celine Dion is here and she's hiding." To which Sonenclar shook her head and said no with a laugh.
Judge L.A. Reid, who mentors two of the top three vote-getters from last week – Sonenclar was No. 2 – went so far as to say Sonenclar could walk away with the top prize, a $5 million recording contract. "I don't want to say this but we could be looking at the winner," Reid said to Britney Spears, Sonenclar's "mentor" on the show.
Spears laughed and nodded to Reid, mouthing, "I think so." Spears also said that Sonenclar's performance gave her chills.
After her performance, Sonenclar's parents, Bob and Terri, stood off stage and exchanged hugs and kisses.
Leading into her performance, Sonenclar told "X Factor" that it meant a lot to see her dad after being apart during her time on the show.
"He recorded a lot of me singing," Sonenclar said, referring to home videos her dad recorded when she was a toddler. "I was singing for my dad. Now, I'm singing in front of America."

Reader Redesign: De-Cookie Cuttered Kitchen
This email from Laurel-Dawn sounded like a common situation. You find yourself in a cookie cutter home, dying to put your own personal spin on the house so it doesn't look exactly the same way that the builder left it. Well Laurel-Dawn and her husband definitely turned a common kitchen into something spectacular. Here's her letter:
"I live in a super simple home. It's what my mom calls a "tract home" which I personally hate, but I guess it's true. I live in one of those neighborhoods where all of the houses look the same and it's hard to put a personal stamp on things. I dream of someday updating a home with a lot of style from the get-go. Until then, I'm changing every surface of my abode, room by room, until it feels like me (and my husband too, I guess!?) Anyway, my dad helped me redo the kitchen and it's my favorite space in our house. Here's the before…
… and the during…
… and the after…
Thanks so much for the opportunity to be featured!" – Laurel-Dawn
Isn't that amazing and borderline mind-blowing? Our favorite parts are the decorative corbels on the island and the rich wall color with the crisp white cabinets (and of course we love that she worked with what she had and just painted the original cabinets). You can peruse more pics and details over on her blog too. And if you're in the mood for more of their home's transformation, you should check out their dining room makeover. We're obviously on a kitchen kick lately (go figure) but it's a really cool update too!
Pssst- Katie B just posted a bunch of pics from our visit, and all the Clara + Will ones are killing us. Also, Sherry's making a pretty awesome crazy face in one of them. Check things out here.

Oooh, thanks for the inspiration! Wonderful as well as do-able. Great job.
Oh my god that is amazing!
Loves it. Fantastically creative and completely her own.
I actually love the kitchen before, but I think it's great that since they didn't, they had the courage to make it their own!
Wow looks great! My favorite part is perhaps the ceiling! Looks so grand!
LOVE that new faucet!
This is BEAUTIFUL!!!!
Nice job! The white color on the cabinets really brings out the trimwork – which is almost unnoticeable in the "before" pics.
I had to laugh at "track home". It's actually "tract" …
Tract housing is a style of housing development in which multiple similar homes are built on a tract of land which is subdivided into individual small lots. Tract housing developments are typically found in North American suburbs that were modeled on the "Levittown" concept and sometimes encompass large areas of dozens of square miles.
Love it! Don't think I would ever leave.
Whoa, my mind is blown. Is that even the same kitchen? Just goes to show that you really can make the space your own. Whooa. Can't wait to check out her blog (when I'm not at work….)
I LOVE the stools. Source??
I love them too and I think they are Pottery Barn!
beautiful! now i need someone to show me how they fixed up a 70s kitchen on a budget :) i'm sure mine was a track home in the 70s…..
Wow, this is absolutely beautiful!
Wow, just amazing!
Those backsplash tiles are magical!! Beautiful.
Ooh! Love that shade of gray on the walls. It goes so good with the white cabinets. Very nice :)
I love this. I live in Central Florida, which is famous for it's multitudes of tract home sub divisions. It's hard to find any other option around here, honestly. This is a great remodel – shows that you can take something that seems impossible to make your own into something great.
And just because you move into a home that is new, doesn't mean you shouldn't change things up just because they don't have to be replaced or updated.
I love reader redesign! Lotsa new blogs for my reader!
That looks beautiful!
Thank you for sharing;)
Lovely greetings…
THIS is what I would luuuuuurve my kitchen to look like. We don't have a tract house but we have a tract kitchen. I think our neighbor around the corner re-did everyone's kitchen about five years ago bc they aall look the same. I used to like it but now I'm starting to hate it. Thanks for the inspiration!!
Who knew a tract home kitchen could turn out so beautifully custom looking? My favorite part is that backsplash. I checked out her blog and the tiles are wonderful! She also has a super-cut Anthropologie bread bin that doesn't show up here.
WOW! So beautiful.
i love the backsplash! the little square tiles are cute, but hanging them on the diagonal makes all the difference!
what a good job!!! love the corbels, faucet, colours, stools…love it all.
