Making Christmas Ornaments is one of the best ways you can decorate for the holidays. Create this Charming Heart Ornament from A Spoonful of Sugar, adorned with a button and ribbon for a simple way to dress up your tree.
- Small piece of quilters cotton (I used red, lime, and pink)
- Fusible webbing such as vliesofix
- One button (I used red, white, and lime)
- White felt (I used the polyester variety although they would be nicer made up in wool felt)
- 10 inch length of narrow white ribbon
- Fibrefill stuffing
Trace your shape onto a piece of fusible webbing (I used hearts and stars) and iron it onto the reverse side of your cotton fabric.
Cut out the shape, peel off the paper backing, and iron it onto a piece of felt that is at least 1 inch larger than the outside of the fabric shape. Cut another piece of felt that is the same size for the backing.
Position the top layer of felt with the fabric shape, on top of the backing felt and pin together. Sew around the fabric shape using a machine buttonhole stitch or zigzag stitch, leaving a gap of approx 1 inch. You will be sewing through two layers of felt.
Lightly stuff the shape through gap in between the two layers of felt.
Stitch up the gap in the buttonhole stitching so the stuffing is secure.
Cut out the shape, leaving approx 1/2 inch of felt around the fabric shape, using pinking shears.
Overlap the ends of the ribbon as shown in the picture and secure to the top of the shape. Sew a button over the stitching to secure the ribbon.
- Hang the completed ornament on the tree; or attach to a Christmas present.

BJP leader Arjun Jaitley, who is all set to take over as the new finance minister, has a tough task awaiting him at the North Block. Having almost about one-and-a-half months before he tables his first general budget at his disposal, Jatiley faces challenges such as sub 5% growth, price rise, Rs one lakh crore pay-outs and liabilities carried over from the previous regime, fiscal deficit, and bad debts worth Rs 2 lakh crore in the banking system – in effect, an economy in a complete disarray.
In addition to the macro-economic malaise that Jaitley inherits from his predecessor, former finance minister P Chidambaram, there is yet another responsibility on his shoulder entrusted by his party. BJP president Rajnath Singh, who was sworned in as a cabinet minister in the Narendra Modi government has already announced that the party will take definite steps on the Indian black money stashed abroad. He had said the government would bring back the black money in 150 days.
The government is staring at payouts worth almost Rs one lakh crore carried forward from the previous regime. The liabilities pertain to the compensation for the central sales tax to the states, which the ministry, under the UPA rule, has stopped paying to the states since 2010. Finance minister sources tell dna that it now amounts to Rs 50,000 crore to Rs 60,000 crore. Another payout is Rs 35,000 crore worth under recoveries to the oil marketing companies, which was supposed to be paid in the last quarter of the previous financial year, but got carried forward to the current financial year.
Economists believe that macro-economic concerns, reviving the investment sentiments and tackling inflation should be the top priorities for Jaitley. Economist Bibek Debroy told dna, "Economy is in a bad shape in terms of GDP, inflation and fiscal consolidation. Addressing these should be the top priority for the next government."
"The next government will inherit an economy with two major problems. The first one being continued weakness in the investment cycle and loss of investor confidence. Second, worsening of food inflation due to poor monsoon," said economist Rajiv Kumar.
Now consider this. Wholesale Price Index based Inflation has gone up to 5.20%, compared with 4.68% in February. Food inflation too is soaring over 9.10 per cent. To make the matters worse, the meteorological department has predicted a below average rainfall in the monsoon season. This will cause the food price inflation skyrocket. Experts, who are unanimous on the fact that the next government is going to inherit an economy in a poor state, stress on immediate need to tackle inflation and investor confidence.
Growth has come down to sub 5% levels and fiscal deficit (difference between the total earnings of the government and the total expenditure) has is seen widening to 4.6% in 2013-14.
"On food inflation, the new government should form an empowered group to look into the causes of food inflation and take a considered decision and not a knee-jerk recommendation of the short term food supply problems," added Kumar.

THURSDAY, Dec. 6 (HealthDay News) -- The key to a slimmer figure is not necessarily dieting, but just cutting back on fat intake, a new British study suggests.
Researchers from the University of East Anglia found that simply replacing high-fat foods with low-fat alternatives helped people lose roughly 3.5 pounds. Reducing fat intake also resulted in lower blood pressure and improved cholesterol levels. The study authors suggested that the findings may play a critical role in global dietary recommendations, because being overweight or obese increases the risk for many cancers, heart disease and stroke.
The study was published Dec. 7 in the journal BMJ.
The researchers reviewed 33 randomized, controlled trials in North America, Europe and New Zealand that involved over 73,500 men, women and children with a variety of health histories. A randomized, controlled study is one in which people are randomly assigned to different groups: one group receives the treatment and the other does not receive the treatment (the "control" group).
For at least six months, the investigators compared the weight and waistline measurements of those who cut back on their fat intake with the same measurements of those who did not alter their eating habits.
In addition to losing weight, the study found that eating less fat reduced the participants' body mass index (BMI, a measurement of body fat based on height and weight) and waist circumference slightly. The researchers pointed out that none of the participants were dieting or trying to lose weight, and they added that the weight came off quickly and wasn't regained for at least seven years.
"The weight reduction that we found when people ate less fat was remarkably consistent -- we saw it in almost every trial. Those who cut down more on fat, lost more weight," study leader Dr. Lee Hooper, from the university's Norwich Medical School, said in a journal news release. <

An aggregate approach to model evacuee behavior for no-notice evacuation operations

This study proposes an aggregate approach to model evacuee behavior in the context of no-notice evacuation operations. It develops aggregate behavior models for evacuation decision and evacuation route choice to support information-based control for the real-time stage-based routing of individuals in the affected areas. The models employ the mixed logit structure to account for the heterogeneity across the evacuees. In addition, due to the subjectivity involved in the perception and interpretation of the ambient situation and the information received, relevant fuzzy logic variables are incorporated within the mixed logit structure to capture these characteristics. Evacuation can entail emergent behavioral processes as the problem is characterized by a potential threat from the extreme event, time pressure, and herding mentality. Simulation experiments are conducted for a hypothetical terror attack to analyze the models' ability to capture the evacuation-related behavior at an aggregate level. The results illustrate the value of using a mixed logit structure when heterogeneity is pronounced. They further highlight the benefits of incorporating fuzzy logic to enhance the prediction accuracy in the presence of subjective and linguistic elements in the problem.

Þóra Borgarhjǫrtr
|This article needs additional citations for verification. (October 2006)
Thora Town-Hart (Old Norse: Þóra Borgarhjǫrtr, Thora Borgarhjört) was the daughter of Herrauðr, the earl of Götaland and a wife of Ragnar Loðbrók.
Her father gave her a small lindworm that grew into a serpent and encircled her bower. Her father promised Þóra to the one who could slay the serpent. Ragnar Loðbrók arrived, killed the serpent and married Þóra. Ragnar famously wore hairy breeches, whereby he gained his nickname, Loðbrók "Hairy-Breeks". Ragnar went to Västergötland and dressed himself in shaggy clothes that he had treated with tar and sand. He took a spear and approached the serpent, which blew poison at him. Ragnar protected himself with his shield and his clothes and stuck the spear through its heart. He then cut off the serpent's head and married Þora.
According to the Tale of Ragnar's Sons (Ragnarssona þáttr), they had two sons, Eiríkr and Agnar, who would both die in battle with Eysteinn Beli, Ragnar's Earl of Sweden. Before this Þóra died of an illness and Ragnar was remarried to Aslaug (Aslög), the daughter of Sigurd and Brynhildr.[1]
The story appears in Krákumál, the Tale of Ragnar Lodbrok's sons, Ragnar Lodbrok's saga, Gesta Danorum and Bósa saga ok Herrauds. According to the last saga, the lindworm was hatched from an egg that Herrauðr had taken in Bjarmland.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Carolina Panthers fans are counting down the minutes to Sunday s season opener in Charlotte against the Seattle Seahawks.
Fans expectations are high and they want the team to make the playoffs, something the Panthers haven t done since 2008.
The opener is enough to make grown men and women act like kids in candy stores.
It's my favorite day of the year, every year, said Paul Buckshon from Mooresville.
The opener is enough to make men and women act like kids at Christmas, watching this year's shiniest, newest toys that double as jerseys drenched in sweat and grass stains.
You go a whole year almost without football, so the first game is always fun, said Matt Barwick from Raleigh.
Step into Bank of America Stadium Friday afternoon and you're in Pat Claiborne's playground, while she leads stadium tours.
Where are you from? Claiborne asks the crowd.
She loves peppering people with questions, especially those wearing jerseys.
Did you fall in love with the Panthers before we acquired Cam? she asked a man wearing a Cam Newton jersey.
Team history is her specialty.
(The) longest pass thrown in a Super Bowl, 85 yards, Delhomme to Moose, that record has not been broken.
But that was 10 years ago.
Fans say enough time has passed since that, and 2008's last playoff appearance - that getting back to the playoffs is their measure of a successful season.
Hopefully this will be a Super Bowl year, said fan Daniel Ward.
This Sunday's game against Seattle brought Panthers Fan, Adam Kelley, to Charlotte all the way from Orlando. His aunt is flying in from the west coast.
She's a Seattle Seahawks fan, so we have a little family rivalry going on this weekend, Kelley said.
The Burger Company, just down the road from the stadium, says 'Panthers equal profits'.
Owner David Smith says the restaurant made its most money ever on a single day - after three and a half years in business from the Panthers last home preseason game
This Sunday, the games count.
Everybody is ready to go.
This is going to be the year, Buckson said.

Clashes erupt in Egypt over Islamist governors
Gamaa Islamiya later renounced violence and turned to politics. The party is a top ally of Morsi, and its leaders have threatened an "Islamic revolution" if liberals try to unseat the Islamist president. The appointment was seen as a reward for the group's support.
Tourism Ministry spokeswoman el-Azzazzi told the private ONTV channel that the minister, Hesham Zazou, is considering resignation because of "the heavy impact of the decision internationally and locally." She said that the minister was meeting with prime minister to "reconsider the appointment."
In Beni Suef, Muslim Brotherhood supporters formed human chains to enable the governor, the Brotherhood's Adel el-Khouli, to enter his office.
The country's largest opposition grouping, The National Salvation Front, denounced the appointments in a statement and said the Muslim Brotherhood was pushing Egypt toward more confrontations.
"The new appointments clearly show the Muslim Brotherhood's real intentions to consolidate power and control state institutions," the opposition group said.
Morsi met Tuesday with the country's top heads of Coptic Church and Al-Azhar, the Sunni Muslim world's chief seat of learning, according a presidency statement.
It said that Morsi hoped that the two religious institutions would "continue to strengthen national unity and protect the nation's interests."
One of the country's most influential ultraconservative Salafi groupings, the Salafi Call, issued a statement distancing itself from the Muslim Brotherhood's plans for a rally this Friday as a show of strength.
The group denounced Islamists' planned rallies as "political provocation" and warned against dividing society into Islamists and secularists.
However, it did not join opposition demands to oust Morsi, saying that only Morsi could call an early election.

Ajay: What do you think of adding this to the documentation?
To columnize the Top 10 page you can add the following type of CSS in the end of your theme's style.css:
div#tptn_related_daily li.top10 {
padding:0 2.5em 1em 0;
text-align: left;
This shows the items in two columns on the Photog theme. Works like a charm for having only the title and a max 100 x 80 thumbnail below it. When setting width to be 135px or less the items flow into three or more columns.
If you're getting items that seem to hang on empty space, a previous item has a higher height than the one after it. In this example item 1 has at least one pixel more height than 2, so it looks like 3 is hanging on empty space when it's really hanging to those one or more pixels of item 1:
1. 2.
4. 5.
The solution is to add a line of
height:100px; to the CSS and to increase the number from 100 until the items align correctly (or decrease until it stops working). The aim is that all items' heights will be as large as the biggest one's but not any larger. If the items overlap then the height is too small. If the spacing between the items gets too big, you may try reducing the number on the
padding line that says currently
Ajay: To prevent the above problem, we could add an option to cut the title or excerpt at a specified number of characters. If a span tag or similar is allowed inside main content area of a page, we could add that and give users a CSS solution or add support for dotdotdot or threedots to do this by jQuery browser-side. These have the advantage of adjusting when the browser window is resized.

Isaacson: Jobs' bio may be expanded
updated 08:15 pm EST, Thu December 15, 2011
Wants to cover post-death reaction
During a talk yesterday at the Commonwealth Club of California, Steve Jobs author Walter Isaacson mentioned a few small tidbits that hadn't been included in the book, but also brought up the idea that the tome, which has turned into one of the top sellers of the year despite only having come out in late October, could be expanded in future editions. "This is a first or second draft," Isaacson is quoted as saying, "not the final draft."
People who attended the event in San Francisco noted that Isaacson talked about the possibility of a much more annotated version of the book, and of writing an addendum that covers the period immediately following Jobs' death at age 56. Additional detail and documentation on topics only briefly covered in the finished book, such as the yacht Jobs was working on at the time of his death, was mentioned as well, say witnesses.
Isaacson also mentioned that during most of the period he was working on the book, he wrote it with the assumption that Jobs would live long enough to read the released product, though Jobs had told him early on in the process that he was unlikely to ever read the book (even presuming he lived to see it). The author also said he foresaw Jobs' story (intertwined with Apple's success) as something that would be told for decades to come, suggesting that further revisions and expansions would help keep the story alive. Isaacson also acknowledged some "small errors" in the book, such as describing Burrell Smith as a software engineer rather than a hardware engineer.
How a revised or expanded edition would be made available to the millions who have bought e-book versions of the biography on Kindle or through iBooks, the Nook or other e-reading machines could be a touchy subject. Different vendors have different ways of handling expanded e-book editions, ranging from automatically offering customers the expanded edition for free to charging a small additional fee for the extra content to simply making the new version available as a separate product.
Isaacson's book was actually revised prior to its final publication, to include material related to Jobs' resignation from Apple in late August. The additional material was inserted late in the day, just after Jobs resigned and when the book still had a November 21st release date; Isaacson was still working on the final chapter when the resignation became public, and interviewed Jobs about it to get his perspective.
The book was subsequently re-scheduled for a rush-release on October 24th, possibly because the publisher learned of Jobs' declining health though it was denied at the time.

BOISE More speed limit changes are coming to area roads.
The Idaho Transportation Department announced it will lower the speed limit on 2.2 miles of State Street between Glenwood Street and Highway 55 - from 55 mph to 45 mph beginning Aug. 7. ITD says the change is for safety reasons.
There are several schools, businesses and side streets along this section of State Street, said ITD southwest Idaho Traffic Engineer Kevin Sablan. With traffic traveling at 55 mph, it was becoming increasingly difficult for motorists to safely enter and cross the highway.
Local law enforcement agencies support the lower speed limit.
The section of State Street is from the Home Depot to the Maverik gas station just west of the Walmart at State and Glenwood.
There have been 170 crashes on that stretch of road in the past five years. And there are nearly 75 businesses and residences in that area. Traffic engineers say safely getting in and out of those entrances and exits requires a lower speed limit.

ApplianceKitchenAid Blender
Level of DifficultyReally easy
Time to do repairLess than 15 mins
Age of Appliance1 - 4 years
PliersScrew drivers
Repair was really easy. I was going to bend the metal plate that used to be covered with rubber and had the cogs that coupled the base unit to the upper unit, so I could get an small ignition wrench on the nut under the plate. It did not need to be bent very much. However when I bent the plate upwards it loosened it on the motor shaft and I could unscrew it from the shaft by hand. Just be aware that it has left hand threads. All that was needed was a small screwdriver inserted through the bottom of the base into the fan blades to keep the shaft from turning. I removed the old coupler and screwed on the new part. It only needs to be finger tight since the rotation of the motor will tighten it with use. Again, remember it has left hand threads. A really simple and inexpensive repair that saved having to buy a new blender. PartSelect has saved me several times from having to replace an appliance when all that was needed was an inexpensive part.

Identification in Dynamic Linear Models with Rational Expectations
Olivier J. Blanchard
NBER Technical Working Paper No. 24
This paper characterizes identification in dynamic linear models. It shows that identification restrictions are linear in the structural parameters and are therefore easy to use. Using these restrictions, it analyzes the role of exogenous variables in helping to achieve identification.

Kovalev shoots, Rangers win...
I know it may not have been the direct result of Kovalev shooting, but wow, that was refreshing to see. In the first four games, I see him twirl around with the puck and he's magical with it but he didn't do much of anything except make attempts to set up teammates. Tonight, he shot the puck when he was in doubt, and it looked much better.
He's amazing with the puck, he still amazes me. The little passes that no one notices, very reminiscent of Adam Oates' passing and thinking (they both did it at any given time, no matter how their feet were moving, they were able to forehand or backhand a pass to a teammate on the tape in mid-stride).
His "shoot the puck" mentality certainly didn't hurt his playmaking.
It's not just Kovy that's shooting though, Lindros and Poti's goals would've not happened 2 games ago. They were both lucky snip shots, they probably would have tried to deke around the defenseman or drop it back for someone to rip a shot only to have it stolen and being rushed up the other way.
Should be amazing to watch...

The Rangers drafted Dylan McIlrath 10th overall in 2010 and ever since, media and fans have been waiting for his arrival. While McIlrath is now completely healthy and at Rangers camp looking to make the team there doesn't appear space in the defensive unit even though his style is an absolute need.
The Rangers are blessed with a strong top four when Marc Staal, Dan Girardi, Ryan McDonagh and Michael Del Zotto are all fit and able. With Anton Stralman a solid depth option it leaves a whole raft of ifs and buts to scrap it out for the 6th and 7th defensive spots. McIlrath will be fighting it out with Aaron Johnson, Danny Syvret, Justin Falk, John Moore and even the likes of Stu Bickel for a roster spot.
The problem here is not ability. John Moore aside, McIlrath has much more upside than any of the other options who are realistically in the frame for the top six. McIlrath needs game time. The Rangers top four will eat up the vast majority of ice time and given his lengthy absence last year the last thing the Rangers want to do to with McIlrath is curb – or stall – his development by offering up five or six minute cameos.
McIlrath probably needs to outperform the likes of Stralman and Del Zotto and not the depth guys if he is to make the Rangers. McIlrath will have to be an absolute force through camp and pre-season because merely being 'ready' isn't going to be enough. If he is ready for a depth assignment he should be in Hartford. If he is ready for a significant role – which is unlikely at this stage – then he could factor into the Rangers. McIlrath needs twenty minutes a night.
As is often the case with players of his style and size, patience is required even if it feels like the wait has been forever. If it means the Rangers receive a dominant, intimidating presence for the next half a decade, a full season knocking players over in the minor leagues is the right course action for Dylan McIlrath.

The Wii has done many things right (like selling), but one of the common complaints has been the complete lack of online multiplayer gaming. That's all changing though, with the very first online multiplayer Wii title in North America, Pokemon Battle Revolution, arriving on the 25th. The latest in a long-line of incredibly successful Pokemon titles, this is the first Wii Pokemon version and looks like it may be the biggest one yet.
The game takes place on an island called Poketopia and has ten different Colosseums to battle in, with the ultimate goal to become the Poketopia Master (of course). The gameplay is classic Pokemon but appears to be taking it to a larger scale than ever through the use of heavy DS integration. Though the game can be played with the Wiimote, the Nintendo folks strongly suggested the DS as the preferred method of control (of course they did). It was fascinating watching people connect their DS to the Wii via WiFi and, upload their captured Pokemon from Pokemon Diamond and Pokemon Pearl, and have them battle it out on the big screen. It was the GameCube / Game Boy Advance connectivity promise, given new life through wireless tethering and a killer app.
The graphics were notably impressive as well. Though not quite as impressive as Boogie's, they were definitely a notch above most of the other Wii games on display. The arenas were large and colorful and the Pokemon and Pokemon Trainers have never been rendered in such loving, colorful detail before. Expect Pokemon Battle Revolution to sell like, well, a Pokemon game when it hits retailers on June 25th.

Yes, this is a response diary. But it will be long enough to stand on its own. Every here is going crazy for a diary entitled I Refuse to By Into the Obama Hype. It purports to compare Hillary's Senate record to Obama's and concludes Obama's is superior. Why? Two reasons. First, in the diarist's opinion his bills are better. Second his bills have more sponsors than hers, and that demonstrates "leadership." Excuse me, but, well bullshit. "Leadership" doesn't come from getting people to join you. "Leadership" comes from getting people to FOLLOW you, to DO things. As in, pass laws. Can we look at what they both actually achieved?
Neither Senator, to date, sponsored legislation that passed into law in the 110th Congress. However, Clinton sponsored the only legislation between the two that passed both houses, and is awaiting signature. That is Senate Bill 694,passed in the House as H.R. 1216, and is a bill to regulate safety of children around cars. There have been a couple of heartfelt diaries about this one, and it was GREAT work. The score for the 110th Congress? Clinton 1, Obama 0.
Okay, on the 109th Congress.
Clinton bills passed as law:
S.272 : A bill to designate certain National Forest System land in the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico as a component of the National Wilderness Preservation System.
Personally, I have no opinion on that one, knowing nothing about the Puerto Rican national forest.
S.1283 : A bill to amend the Public Health Service Act to establish a program to assist family caregivers in accessing affordable and high-quality respite care, and for other purposes.
This is a good bill. It authorizes grants and other funds to people with adults or children in need of respite care. This includes hospice care, chronically ill, mentally retarded, and developmentally disabled children and adults, and allows people to be cared for in their homes, instead of in other facilities.
Okay, Obama's turn.
S.2125 : A bill to promote relief, security, and democracy in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
It's a good bill. It authorized money to the Republic of Congo, and authorizes withholding of funds in certain circumstances, both from Congo and from nations around it.
That's it for the 109th Congress. Excluding ceremonial statutes, the score seems to be 2-1 for Hillary, a fairly inconsequential difference. Obama's is international, which would seem to cut against the claim that is where he is weakest. Hillary's is domestic, assisting in one of the difficult and tragic times a family can face. Score it however you want.
Now for the 108th Congress. From here out we can only look at Hillary, because Obama wasn't there yet.
S.1425 : A bill to amend the Safe Drinking Water Act to reauthorize the New York City Watershed Protection Program.
The title of this one seems pretty self-explanatory, and this bill is a good thing.
That's it for 108. As the previous diarist noted, it's actually pretty darned hard to get legislation through both Houses.
107th Congress
S.1422 : A bill to provide for the expedited payment of certain benefits for a public safety officer who was killed or suffered a catastrophic injury as a direct and proximate result of a personal injury sustained in the line of duty in connection with the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001.
Again, self-explanatory, and this was a Senator truly taking care of the heroes and their families in her State.
S.1622 : A bill to extend the period of availability of unemployment assistance under the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act in the case of victims of the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001.
This is another bill to help New Yorkers after 9/11.
S.2496 : A bill to provide for the establishment of investigative teams to assess building performance and emergency response and evacuation procedures in the wake of any building failure that has resulted in substantial loss of life or that posed significant potential of substantial loss of life, and for other purposes.
Again, Clinton showed REAL leadership after 9/11, not just play-acting standing on rubble leadership.
What is the conclusion from this? Well, I'm not really sure. Hillary has certainly been in the Senate longer. There can be little doubt she showed REAL leadership after 9/11, something often talked about but rarely seen. It is also pretty clear that Obama really does have some chops in foreign affairs, at least in Africa, and that Hillary really does have serious chops when it comes to our most vulnerable, children and disabled or dying adults. Beyond that, though, any attempt to compare their legislative record based upon co-sponsors or the words of an act becomes an exercise in partisanship. You might think one bill is better because it seems broader, but its broadness to me shows naivete and an inability to focus legislation sufficiently to get it passed. You might think more sponsors shows "leadership," while I might think it shows weakness and the need for others. Alternatively, I might think it shows a strength, a refusal to back down from principles to make the necessary compromises to get people to join you. STOP! I know you are chomping at the bit to refute that last sentence. If you are, you are missing the point, which is, quite simply, that any such comparisons are, BY DEFINITION, partisan and not, as so many seem to believe, unbiased.
As for bills sponsored but not passed, they both have hundreds, including ceremonial bills. BOTH have ceremonial bills. The diarist in the other diary chose certain bills to compare. I could choose others, and the comparison would go the other way. At least in part, I would question the propriety of using the 110th Congress, rather than the 109th, since both were in full campaign-mode the whole time. But again, that leaks partisanship into the conversation and I am truly trying to avoid that.
Just for fun, here is one such comparison. Do with it what you will. I use it because the previous diarist claimed to be far more impressed with Obama's health care legislation than Clinton's.
Obama sponsored A bill to make grants to carry out activities to prevent the incidence of unintended pregnancies and sexually transmitted infections among teens in racial or ethnic minority or immigrant communities, and for other purposes. I got two co-sponsors, and provided grants, but just addressed to black and latino teens. Hillary sponsored A bill to expand access to preventive health care services that help reduce unintended pregnancy, reduce the number of abortions, and improve access to women's health care. It, too, had two co-sponsors. It was, quite simply, better legislation. It not only addressed pregnancy among ALL teens, it also addressed availability of birth control, assistance in rape emergencies, accuracy in contraceptive information, and equality for women in insurance for prescriptions. Using the same standard as the previous diarist, comprehensiveness of the bill, Clinton's is far superior. Does it matter? Well, no. Neither passed. Maybe Obama's was better, because it was more likely to pass, being better focused. Maybe Clinton's was better because of its breadth. Ultimately, neither one passed, hence neither was demonstrated actual SUCCESS in legislation or leadership. To claim otherwise is to participate in an exercise is partisanship, not an exploration of honesty.
Both Senators have sponsored bills. Both Senators have passed bills. I post this not to attack Obama (and I sincerely hope I have not), but to attempt to inject just a bit of reality into the celebration of Obama that Daily Kos' front page and Recommended Diaries section has become.
And now, watch it scroll away.

When the urge to over eat sets in the first thing I do is put cream on my hands. The greasy feeling keeps me from wanting to touch food. Also I don't want to taste the cream while eating.Hope this little trick works for you too.
When I haven't seen the scale move in a while I kick up my work outs adding two or 3 extra a week
Work outs go faster and are fun
I dont have much money so cant buy any dun bells for my work outs, and I dont want to build my arms up to much either. Therefore I use 2 tins out of my cupboard, such as baked bean tins, spagetti tins , veg tins ect and use them in the same way. Gives enough resistant , and enables me to work out my upper body cost free! 104

When a stroke's not a stroke.
10 comments:
- Penny said...
Here's my theory: When my vascular-dementia-ridden Mother had a UTI, she would behave exactly the way the rest of us would LIKE to behave. The dementia took the filters away and allowed her to attempt to kick the world's ass for making her feel so poorly. The rest of us WOULD react the same way, were it not for those friggin' manners we got drilled into us as young-uns.
- Crazed Nitwit said...
UTI is the first thing we check when one of our patients is getting loonier than normal. It scary how quickly a UTI can make an older person go down.
- Just My 2¢ said...
Didn't know that. Thanks for the tip from an EMS type of guy... And thanks for getting back into the groove.
- woolywoman said...
yup. had pts that suddenly were unable to walk: UTI. Suddenly nuts: UTI. Seizure: UTI. and so forth. Same in newborns for what its worth but they move quickly into sepsis like in an hour.
- Moose said...
When I was 26 I had a sudden, severely painful headache followed by vision problems in one eye. My then-doctor diagnosed it as a stroke, solely on the basis of, "Well, you're fat." No CT scan (this was before MRIs were common), blood pressure was 100/40, no medications that might have been involved.
It took another Dr sending me to a neurologist to discover it was a "complicated migraine." I did have another about 6 months later, then never again.
On the flip side, I knew a doctor who did a urine dipstick for everything. I allegedly constantly had UTIs. Then I read in an ER-related journal [the kind with peer-reviewed published studies] how dipsticks can have up to a 40% false positive reading.
I dunno if that's still true; this was a good 5 yrs ago. I'd like to think the dipstick tests have gotten more accurate since then.
- Jenn Jilks said...
Wise warnings. My brother took Dad to emerg the day of mom's funeral. They sent him home in the afternoon with undiagnosed UTI, still peeing on the floor in the middle of the night and demonstrating signs of delirium. I was pissed, if you'll excuse the pun. They attributed it to dementia from his brain tumour. No one warned us that it was a complication from radiation treatments Dad was getting.
Good post.
- shrimplate said...
Easy to diagnose (pee in a cup) and easy to treat most of the time. A little Sulfa or more likely Levaquin and things are all better in a day or two, with maybe a run of IV fluids to move it along.
While stationed in Puerto Rico my wife suddenly developed dementia symptoms and I took her to base hospital and was told she had a stroke. They sent her to the civilian hospital in San Juan where they confirmed the stroke. The Navy medevaced her to Portsmith Naval Hospital in Virginia where the reaffirmed the stroke. This took place in a 3 week period. Right side was week, right half of face slack, slurred words when trying to talk, did not know who I was or where she was. Her daughter, a civilian nurse, arrived from Georgia. Shortly she noticed her mother's urine was very dark and cloudy and asked nurses about it. Up to then, no one had noticed the condition of her urine. (?? How ??) It was found that she had a bad Urine Tract Infection (UTI) and started her on antibiotics. Once the infection was under control, my wife suddenly was clear as a bell mentally and all physical symptoms were gone. For 4 weeks I had been told my wife had a stroke and basically there was little they could do when all along she had only an infection.
I starting checking with different medical personnel and it seems most nurses know a UTI can cause stroke like symptoms but most doctors I interviewed did not seem to know of this. How many other women, especially elderly women, have been misdiagnosed for this?
For the elderly women who start exhibiting signs of delirium make sure they are checked for UTI infection and anemia before the final word of stoke is decided on.
- mike g said...
old post, I know, but I ran across this via google, and it seemed to fit my situation. I had a minor stroke in 2008, with slurring of speech and issues with coordination of my hands.
About 10 days ago, I developed pneumonia, and was quite run down. I also started exhibiting symptoms very similar to the 2008 stroke effects. This led to an ER visit and hospitalization. Stroke workup showed no stroke. These stroke symptoms would recur daily when fatigued in the hospital, and eventually disappeared (several days). The pneumonia was gone as well, and I didn't suffer from fatigue anymore.
Have you seen something like this? I tend to believe it is "reactivation of old stroke symptoms", rather than a new stroke. I also suspect this, since doctors can't find a cause of the stroke either,
- Jo said...
Mike, reactivation of symptoms is exactly what it is; yours is a classic example.
I'm glad you're okay and feeling better!

For the Enzo SF glove design, Capo designers took a simple and almost facile approach. This basic design is light and has no excess material which is perfect for riding in warmer climates. Many folks confuse simple with cheap. Although the Enzo gloves are stremlined and uncluttered, the build quality and material choice is superb.
The front of the glove uses soft, suede-like Clarino material with a dual-layer foam pad for added comfort against a hard and solid handlebar. The super stretch Lycra backing makes the glove fit like a second skin. A small Velcro closure tab at the rear of the wrist makes putting on or removing the glove easy and carefree. The low-profile styling matches the simple design. Highly recommended.

Hockey Expressen reports that Carl Hagelin injured his shoulder during Sodertalje's 4-2 victory yesterday. He was forced to leave the game in the third period, but the injury is said to be not that serious. ...i'd normally be ripping Bettman a new one right now, but to be honest, after seeing all the destruction and devastation from Hurricane Sandy the last few days this injury seems so insignificant.

'The Wall' traps woman in existential isolation
The unnamed character, played by Martina Gedeck, wakes up in her friends' Alpine hunting cabin, only to discover the friends still absent from a hike the previous day. Accompanied by their dog, she walks along a pretty lakeside road and abruptly face-plants into a transparent, all-encompassing force field. She can't go farther.
Spoiler alert: If you seek science-fiction explanations for such roadblocks, you will be disappointed. What we have here is a pure kind of abject isolation, as Gedeck discovers her enclosed world includes a large swath of nature, a bevy of animals, but no other humans -- and no way out.
After her initial adjustment, she learns how to manage her food supply, hunt for deer and shed her fierce I-ness in favor of a newly conscious connection to the world. If that description makes the movie's theme sound as transparent as the all-encompassing wall, fair enough, but the execution is suitably lyrical.
This set-up predates Stephen King by a long chalk: "The Wall" is adapted from a well-regarded 1963 novel by Austrian writer Marlen Haushofer. That's the era of "The Twilight Zone" and "The Incredible Shrinking Man," works that bear some resemblance to its single-premise study of how catastrophe might force an awareness of what it really means to be human.
On that score, "The Wall" is absorbing, as Gedeck passes through the changing seasons and stupendously pretty Alpine scenery. (The dog, too -- and dog lovers, please pack Kleenex.)
Director Julian Polser rests the concept on the strapping shoulders of Martina Gedeck, the star of "Mostly Martha" and "The Lives of Others."
Completely deglamorized here, Gedeck makes a thoroughly believable transition from awkward egotist to focused deerslayer, albeit one with profound, conflicted musings on her lonely place in the universe.
The film has a few strands of dialogue, but mostly we're in tune with the protagonist's voiceover narration, which Gedeck speaks in English for this export version (a wise move, given the torrent of words on the soundtrack).
The cliche that movie narration is a weakness is nicely rebuked by Gedeck's voice and the genuinely thoughtful observations that fall as gently as the first snow of the Austrian winter.
This sort of movie requires a delicate "touch," and Gedeck and Polser have found it.
"The Wall" (3 stars)
A woman (Martina Gedeck) finds herself sealed off from the rest of the world by an invisible wall, forcing her to roam some acres of Alpine hills and revert to a primal place in nature. Adapted from a novel by Marlen Haushofer, this movie gets real power behind its "Twilight Zone" tale of existential isolation.
Rating: Not rated; probably PG-13 for violence.
Showing: SIFF Cinema Uptown.
