By supporting farmers, businesses support themselves
Buckeye Farm News
Some county Farm Bureaus are building partnerships with companies that have connections to agriculture, and it looks as if it will pay off in terms of new long-term memberships.
Several local farm-related companies have been willing to buy Farm Bureau memberships for their managers or employees for a variety of reasons, according to Janet Cassidy, OFBF senior director of marketing communications.
These companies really understand that if farmers are out of business, they are out of business, Cassidy said. While these businesses are involved in agriculture, it doesnt necessarily mean everyone within their organization is up to speed on agricultural issues.
Many of these businesses are also not aware of the scope of activities in which Farm Bureau is involved, Cassidy said.
After that first year of membership, they really get it. They see all that Farm Bureau does, and they want to continue to develop their relationship, she said.
Some companies want their employees to be informed about issues impacting local farmers; others want to have an open line of communication with the farm community and to identify areas where they can work together.
The benefit of building relationships with local companies is that membership volunteers are able to bring in new members as groups, rather than one at a time. Examples of local businesses that might be interested in a partnership with the local Farm Bureau include crop insurers, implement dealers, agricultural co-ops, food processors and others.
Cassidy said there is no way to fail with this approach, even if a business declines to purchase memberships for employees.
Anytime local farmers can sit down with business owners and explain what Farm Bureau is, it is time well spent, she said. Its the first step in building relationships that could pay off down the road.

DEFINITION of 'SEC Form 15F'
A filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), also known as the Certification of a Foreign Private Issuer's and Termination of Registration. It is used by private foreign companies to revoke the registration of their securities traded on U.S. exchanges. SEC Form 15F is also used by foreign companies to notify the SEC and investors of the intent to cease filing required forms because their securities no longer meet certain filing requirements.
BREAKING DOWN 'SEC Form 15F'
When a foreign company files a SEC Form 15-F, it means one of two things. It may mean that a company's securities are ceasing to exist in a publicly-traded form in the U.S., although they still may be available on a foreign exchange. Alternatively, it may mean that a company is simply canceling a certain class of securities in order to replace them with another class.

By BECCA OWSLEY email@example.com Many have asked why I am not participating in my co-worker Robert's ghost hunting experiments this month. The answer is — I'm a big chicken.
I don't want to know if ghosts are real. I would rather they stay in the ambiguous realm of the unknown and I certainly don't want to see one.

The Day A Friend Corrected Me
I don't usually do "PSAs", but this post has some great info about car seats. My kiddo is super-tall for his age, but we're keeping him rear-facing as long as possible.
Originally posted on honorableliving:
I've been thinking about this blog post for months, the problem is, every time I start to write it, another friend chooses to forward face their child and I don't want them to think I wrote it because of them. Here's the thing: if this post convicts you, maybe you're feeling convicted because you reasoned the same way. To some extent, forward facing your toddler is a preference. Statistics, and in some states, laws, recommend AT LEAST 2 years, but most states, despite American academy of pediatrics research, recommend (not require) AT LEAST 1 year and 20 pounds (minimum. That's minimum.)
Look up your state's requirements here. If you're unhappy with the requirements, contact you state representative.It's also beneficial to contact car seat manufacturers, they are very supportive in lobbying for these changes. — thank you krystina

Lakeline Mall Play Area
Like most parents, I'm constantly looking for ways to entertain my kiddo, especially ways that don't cost anything. To that end I follow a blog called Free Fun in Austin, which alerted me to the existence of a free play area inside Lakeline Mall. It's air conditioned, free, and has wifi and comfy seats. What more could an adult need?
Little Nacho is about 1 1/2, and he liked the play area well enough, but he's a bit too young to get the most out of it. Mostly he wanted to point to all the shapes and letters on the carpet and name them. The place is neat, and pretty clean, and kids older than mine had a blast. I'd say it's probably better for ages 3-7. We also saw a kiddie train going through the mall, but I didn't find the starting point or where to pay for it. I know, you guys come here to get all the wonderful details, and once again, I delivered. That wasn't vague at all!
To sum up, it's clean, free, and air conditioned. It's not so amazing that it's worth a special trip over there, but if you're at the mall anyway, it's a good place for kids to burn off energy.
DIY Ball Drop
Rainy days, blah blah, kids trapped in the house, yadda yadda, mom's out of booze, we need an activity. My son can't get enough of playing with balls, so I thought I'd look at the resources I had on hand to craft an activity for him.
What does every crafty mom having laying around? Cardboard tubes! Whether from paper towels or toilet paper, we know there MUST be a use for them, and we hoard them like canned goods in a bomb shelter. I have these things falling out of cabinets when I attempt to put dishes away, so I figured it was about time to use a few up.
You will need: paper towel tubes, a cardboard box, strong tape, scissors, balls.
I had this Costco yogurt box laying around, and it is the perfect size for this. You can use something bigger or smaller, it's up to you. I'm going to show you the basics of how I made mine, then you can adjust according to the materials you have on hand.
I started out laying the cardboard tubes in the box to measure how many I would need. I cut the tops off, long ways, just using scissors. I didn't cut them directly in half, but if you have a shortage of paper towel tubes (Ha! Yeah, right) then you can do that and use each half.
I used pieces of toilet paper roll to add extra support to the paper towel tubes, with double stick tape. Important note: make sure the balls you're going to use for this will fit through with those supports on there. Mine did not. I used whiffle golf balls and had to remove my beautiful supports.
I used big loops of masking tape to stick the tubes into the box. You can also use duct tape, or whatever you have laying around that's fairly tacky. Again, test this thing before you hand it to your toddler so you don't have to frantically rip pieces off while they run off to play with power outlets.
Success! He played with it!
Disclaimer: it does not work with kangaroos. I apologize for this huge oversight.
Sickness Kit
It always happens: I feel that first tickle or soreness in my throat, the inexplicable aches, Hubby starts sniffling. These are my warning signs that illness will descend upon the household imminently. I usually run to the store to stock up on what we'll need, guiltily spreading viruses throughout the store. The alternative is attempting to sustain myself on the remaining dregs of a bottle of Dayquil whose expiration date rubbed off years ago, and that tea in the back of the cabinet that tastes like it was dredged out of Boston Harbor be someone even more frugal than me.
Well, no more! I am currently on the mend from a cold/flu, and this time I am stocking up in advance for the inevitable next plague. You can also use this as a "Get well soon" kit for an ailing friend. Put these items in a lovely gift basket with a bow, then leave it on their porch and run like hell to avoid zombie-fication.
- For adults:
Dayquil (or generic alternative, which you know is the one I have)
NyQuil (aka magical unicorn tears)
Pain killers
Okay, basically all the drugs
Tea (Throat coat is almost as magical as Nyquil)
Cough drops (even more drugs)
Chicken soup, or your preferred hot liquid
In the event of a stomach virus, crackers
Zinc (my choice), or your go-to supplement, like Emergen-C
- For kids too young for the good meds:
Herbal Tea (No caffeine, for the love of hamsters)
Chicken broth, watered down juice, whatever they'll drink to keep hydrated
Vapor Rub (goes on feet at night, under socks)
New books, games, TV, anything to distract them
When you feel yourself starting to get sick, get your nest ready. You may need or want to be sequestered away from others to avoid spreading contagion, or just to avoid their horrified grimaces when they see you wandering the house with tissues stuffed up your nose, moaning quietly.
Nest requirements:
Darkness, blessed darkness
Quiet, thrice blessed quiet
Comfy temperature
Chargers in place for required devices
Trashcan (for tissues or vomit, depending on your illness)
More books
Comfy bathrobe for wandering the house in, while moaning quietly
Journal and pen to capture your last words
You can also prepare by either keeping some things on hand: canned soup, soup fixin's, or make and freeze soup in advance, in small containers. Having food basically ready to pour in your mouth when you feel like death is a solid option makes illness so much easier. Your body needs fuel to fight off a virus, so help it out with lots of fluids, nutrients, and sleep. You can make big batches of soup while you're feeling well, then freeze it so it's ready when you or a friend need it.
It's hard to deal with sick kids when they're too young to get the effective medicines, like decongestant. For congestion, take your little one into a hot shower, and get the bathroom nice and steamy. You can also use a humidifier if you have one. We also put a couple folded towels under one end of Nacho's crib mattress so he slept a little bot propped up; this seems to help him breath easier while sleeping. We'd heard the Vapor Rub on the feet thing before, but finally tried it. It seemed to possibly help, but he could have been healing on his own at that point, so it's hard to tell. We also save TV for a treat, so during the worst of it we let him watch a solid hour of TV. He was so fixated, I was able to sneak some chicken soup into him.
Also remember, antibiotics will do NOTHING for a cold virus. AntiBIOTICS fight BACTERIA. AntiVIRALS fight VIRUSES. Don't pester your doctor for antibiotics that will do literally nothing to make you better, and can lead to more problems down the road. That's like asking for an antidote to poison when you got hit by a car. It's not going to fix the problem you have.
Being sick sucks, so make it suck a little less by being prepared.
What I've been up to, or Excuses for not Blogging
We have been having a crazy time at Bad Manor lately. First, an ancient piece of fence finally rotted enough for the tiny pain-in-the-tuchus dog to escape:
So we had to have it replaced. The original fencing didn't even have concrete poured for the posts! No wonder it collapsed. Hubby and I ripped it out bare-handed, and had this gorgeous new gate installed:
It's so pretty and functional and pretty! We also ripped out the old wood that was edging a garden patch the previous home owners had put in. As we know from previous installments, those people were idiots, so they put in a big pile of terrible dirt right where the yard should drain when it rains. This creates a moat around the porch that our tiny dogs can't overcome. We've started working on the yard a TON now that baby Nacho is old enough to run around back there.
We actually dug out by the other gate (because so many leaves and whatnot had built up water wouldn't drain that way either) and discovered a small concrete patio! We've lived in this house for over 6 years now, and had no idea it was there. Now we have a new place for our trash cans! I have gotten COUNTLESS mosquito bites working outside, in spite of bug spray. UGH. I hate being outside. This just shows how much having a kid can change you.
This next part is tragic, and horrifying. Our electric bill had been weirdly high for about 3 months. We called an electrician about something else, and he found that we were getting power surges. A city electrician then came out and discovered this:
This poor snake apparently crawled into the electric box during the winter, looking for warmth. I guess his bar b queued carcass was causing the power fluctuations. We didn't change anything in the house, other than removing the "reptile torture dungeon of horrors" (quote stolen from Timmy), and our power bills went back down to normal.
After that, both our washer AND dryer died, which is normally bad, but since we use cloth diapers was unacceptable! Thankfully, a friend had an extra washer laying around she literally gave us for free (THANK YOU LYNN), and then I went and bought a dryer. So we've had a very productive, yet expensive few weeks.
Am I going to leave you with the traumatic visual of snake jerky?
Oh okay, fine. Here's a picture of Stefano, the Overly Excited Cloud:
How to look hot in pictures
Ladies, duckface is played out. Yes, maybe it makes you look thinner, because it sucks in your cheeks, but it also makes you look unbearably smug. So here's the new thing: FISH FACE!! I mean, take a look at these wildly attractive ladies:

Starting Solid Foods – Allergy Advice
When you have that pediatrician appointment where the doctor finally okays starting solid foods, you know your baby is on the way to toddler-hood. It's great, but also a sign of how quickly time passes with these adorable little munchkins. My son, Nacho, is just over a year old now, so I thought I'd post a bit of advice on this topic before I forget everything due to sleep deprivation.
Nacho has a ton of food allergies, which were a complete surprise, as there are very few in my family. So here's my advice from a food-allergy perspective:
1) Before trying any foods, have children's Benadryl on hand, just in case. Ask your pediatrician for the appropriate dose in case of a reaction.
2) At the doctor's appointment, ask the pediatrician to review warning signs of an allergic reaction with you.
3) A new study just came out about preventing peanut allergies in the first year of your child's life. I'm not a doctor, and reading articles on the internet is no substitute for personalized medical advice, so ask your pediatrician about this also.
4) Keep a baby food diary. You may already be tracking stuff like milk intake, poopie diapers, and whatnot, so start recording your baby's foods also. Personally, I don't worry about the amounts, just the items. And record each food your baby has every day. It can take several exposures for a food allergy to show up. Nacho had had eggs 3 times before he exploded everywhere, and I was fortunate to have children's Benadryl on hand.
5) Have the number to a 24 hour nurse phone line programmed into your phone. This is useful for all kinds of things, not just food allergies. Your doctor's office or health insurance may offer this service, so check with them first.
6) I've read that when you first start baby foods, you should start with a green vegetable. This supposedly helps prevent picky eating later in life by exposing them to different tastes early on. I don't know how true this is, but we did this with Nacho, and he is a very good eater. There's pretty much nothing he won't eat, other than the many foods that try to kill him.
7) It's incredibly easy to make your own baby food, and it's insanely cheaper than buying store bought. That way you know exactly what goes into it. We were gifted a box of baby food, and had to pass about half of it off to a friend due to allergens. And it wasn't anything obvious! There were pears in something like a beef and veggie dinner. Pears! So be sure to read all ingredients on everything.
There are plenty of articles online about how to get your kids to like and eat food. This article is the one I wish I'd had to warn me about food allergies. Keep in mind, not all food allergies are life-threatening. I do NOT want to add more stress for anyone! It's just something to keep in mind when starting foods for the first time. Hopefully, you'll never have to open that little bottle of Benadryl, and can pass it on to someone else. In the meantime, it will be comforting to know it's available in an emergency.
DIY Toddler Food
Once your kid can start feeding him or herself, there are a million pre-packaged, expensive foods you could buy. If you're awesome and frugal like me you think "Surely, there have to be convenience foods I can feed this kid that don't cost as much as lobster, ounce for ounce". You'd be right! I have a few things I keep on hand or pre-make so I can hand food to Baby Nacho immediately, without spending a bunch of time cooking and whatnot.
1) Canned meats – Canned chicken is soft and chewable. It apparently tastes great, because my son goes crazy for it. It's like those baby hot dogs, but cheaper, and less odorous. Canned salmon is great too. You can mix it in with veggies, a mashed avocado, olive oil, or mayo (if your kid isn't allergic to eggs, which mine is).
2) Canned Fruit – mandarin oranges are a HUGE hit with my munchkin. Canned mangoes are a little mushy for self-feeding, but they're fine to blend into other foods.
3) Cottage cheese – this and yogurt are wildly popular in my house. Once your kiddo can chew stuff, this is so easy to just pop open and shove in their tiny mouths.
4) Cereal – obviously a childhood staple. We have a hard time with this one, because Nacho has dozens of food allergies, so we tend to avoid normal boxed cereal. When you're just starting out with self-feeding, those little baby puffs that dissolve are indispensable. I have yet to find a cheaper substitute. Now that mine can chew, he gets cornflakes occasionally.
5) Oatmeal – stores in the pantry forever. Just get the big canister and you can use it in overnight oats, or mix it with fruit or veggies for added fiber. You can even pre-cook some and store it in the freezer for later.
6) Puffs – Baby puffs are awesome, as I said, but pricey! Once your little one can actually crunch some snacks, and doesn't need the dissolving kind, Pirate's Booty is a cheaper substitute. It's still not cheap, but my son freaking loves it (as do I). It comes in several flavors, but your kid probably needs a few teeth for this one to be feasible.
7) Cheese – small chunks of cheese are easy. You can even leave them out to warm up a bit to make it even softer.
8) Fresh fruit – really ripe bananas, peeled pears, peaches, and kiwis are great. Really any fruit that is pretty soft.
9) Bread, pasta, etc – Unfortunately, with my kiddo's allergies, most carbs are off the table, literally. Bread, dried pasta, and tortillas can all be kept in the pantry, ready to be torn into little pieces for little hands. We do use corn tortillas, and some rice pasta.
10) Canned beans – these are great to keep on hand to add some fiber and variety to baby's diet. Don't go overboard unless you want to fog your house with toxic baby farts.
11) Food pouches – these are more expensive than regular baby food, usually, but I found them in another part of the store for about half the price! On the fruit aisle with the applesauce instead of getting them in the baby aisle. Also, applesauce is cheaper than buying apples and blending them up, FYI. Food pouches are so great for traveling. I keep a couple in the diaper bag as emergency back up food in case we're out longer than I expect, or I fail to bring adequate supplies. We only use these for running around town and such, not for daily eating; they're still too pricey for that.
12) Food dots – this came up on my facebook, so I don't have an original blog post to give credit to (and I'm not sure there is one). If anyone has a link, please let me know so I can give credit. I haven't tried this yet, but you can bet I'm going to!
If you have an idea for a self-feeding food, but aren't sure, test it by mushing it against the roof of your mouth with your tongue. This is a great test for feeding your kiddo from your plate (which is all they will ever want). As always, if you're cooking for yourself, you can make extra for the bambino, and just cook it a little longer, until you reach that easy-to-mush state. For this post I just wanted to focus on what you can keep on hand for those "oh-no-the-kid-is-hungry-right-this-second-but-I-just-walked-in-the-door-and-haven't-even-set-my-stuff-down-where-are-my-keys-am-I-losing-my-mind-I-swear-I-just-had-them-great-now-the-dog-is-barking-too-what-is-happening-to-my-life" moments.
The Very Hungry Caterpillar
I was goofing around on the internet, and I realized I was searching for something. Something beautiful, and deep, meaningful and profound. And I thought, "I should create content like that! I will do some artwork!" So of course that made me think of the burning hatred I have for The Very Hungry Caterpillar.
Non-parents probably don't have this level of passion when it comes to children's books. They probably glance at them fondly at the store saying "Oh, I remember this! I love that book", then they set it down, never to be opened again. I have an adorable little spawn, however, and I read several books to him every night. Even though we own about 30 books or so, there is a LOT of repetition, so minor annoyances in books become crimes against humanity. What's wrong with the Very Hungry Caterpillar? Take a look:
The wings are UPSIDE DOWN. Are you kidding me?? Have you ever seen a butterfly like this? No, because it would die.
This is a real butterfly. Not enough evidence for you? Do a Google search. I'll wait.
So here is my contribution to the wonder, beauty, and excitement of the world; something parents everywhere have been begging for since 1969:
Using my meager skills and MS Paint I was able to accomplish this wonder. Sure, the antennas got cut off, and the butterfly now has two legs growing out of his back, but this is a vast improvement. Feel free to print it out and glue it into your copy of The Very Hungry Caterpillar. Maybe I can save a few people from rage aneurysms. I know I feel better just looking at this.
Overnight Oatmeal
If you google "overnight oats" or something similar, you'll turn up tons of recipes, but they seem to be a little too granola for me, and I don't mean the cereal.
"Go to your neighborhood oat collective and hand harvest 1 cup of organic, steel cut Irish oats, NOT regular oats. Add the milk from your household goat, some homemade, probiotic, kombucha yogurt, periwinkle zest, and foraged acorns. Leave it in the fridge overnight, and you're done!"
Ok…that sounds great and all, but for those of us who get food at the grocery store, here's how I made it:
- 1/2 cup yogurt (this will basically be doing all the flavor work. I used vanilla)
- 1/2 cup oats (I used "Old-fashioned oats", not instant, cause you know, back in the 1500's they microwaved oatmeal for FIVE minutes, rather than just ONE. Talk about the Dark Ages)
- Dash of milk
- Optional:
- Handful dried cranberries
- Handful pumpkin seeds (can also use walnuts, or whatever you have on hand)
- Applesauce, or canned pumpkin
- Fruit chunks
- Ground flax seed, protein powder, whatever floats your organic, farm-raised, free-roaming goat
As you can see, this is YET ANOTHER of my what-do-I-have-laying-around-I'll-do-anything-to-avoid-going-to-the-store recipes. Use up what you have laying around. Mix everything together in a small container, preferably a little tupperware you can just eat it straight out of tomorrow morning. You want the consistency to be a little like a runny stew, not soupy. The oats, nuts, and dried fruit will absorb the moisture overnight.
I love this stuff for those bleary mornings where you wake up, inexplicably starving, there's no coffee ready yet, you were up to late, and you don't want to think. AKA a typical weekday. It really takes the edge off before second breakfast.
The Price Book
A friend of mine was recently asking how people save money on groceries. Me being the frugal guru I am, I of course had plenty of advice for her. As I've mentioned before, a price book can be a huge help with this. Here's a link to mine, so people with access to HEB grocery stores can probably use this, but everyone else can use it as a template. A price book might seem like a lot of work, but it really isn't. I generally add a couple items to it each time I go shopping. I didn't run around the store with paper and pen writing down the unit prices of everything they stock. That would be madness!
- I don't have to remember prices on everything.
- I can compare different items. For example, brown rice is waaaaay cheaper per pound than quinoa, so can I substitute that in some recipes?
- I can compare within items. How much cheaper are dried beans than canned? Is it worth the extra time required to cook them myself? (Hint: Yes)
- Is that sale item really a deal?
- Is the coupon worth it?
As you can see, I only shop at HEB and Costco. If I happen to find myself in a Target or Sprouts, I'll glance around, but generally I've found that these are the two cheapest places, and they BOTH offer fantastic quality. Don't forget to always look at the unit price when shopping. Often, the larger package is NOT more cost-effective. I noticed that with frozen corn this week.
If a price book seems too nit-picky to you, or while you're in the midst of building one, you can use a few guidelines while shopping to reduce your costs:
- Produce for $1 a pound or less.
- Meats for $2 a pound or less (keep in mind if it has bones, you're getting less meat).
- Only X number of snack items, or they can only cost X per ounce.
- If that thing you use all the time is on sale (For REAL on sale, not like a nickel cheaper) STOCK UP.
- Feel free to make your own rules. Only 1 item that's not on the grocery list, or only 1 item under $5, or only items with <10 grams of sugar per serving, whatever you'd like.
- Keep an eye out for clearance or sale items you would normally buy anyway, or that will be a cheaper substitute for something you'd normally buy. If goat cheese is on sale for only $8, but you normally would have bought feta and only spent $4, you didn't save money. You spent twice as much as you could have. However, if it's on sale for $3, stock up!
Of course, dietary restrictions, personal preferences, and number of family members will all impact your spending. I'm shopping for 2 adults, 1 enormous baby, 3 ungrateful cats, and 1 spoiled corgi, so our bills are not as cheap as I'd like.
Other ways to save money on food:
- Use up what you have. Have a "clean out the fridge" buffet every 2 weeks or so. Maybe you're eating cucumber slices, strawberry jell-o, and stir fry, but at least it's getting eaten. Not every meal has to be beautifully plated or instagram-worthy. The important part is that it is getting eaten.
- Shoplift! Nothing's better than free food! (I'm totally kidding, please don't
get caughtshoplift).
- Use recipes that utilize cheaper ingredients, or substitute them yourself. Raisins are generally cheaper than dried cranberries or blueberries, so can you use them instead?
- Make from scratch when it's more cost effective. A bag of dried beans is generally cheaper than canned beans, and it only takes water to make them. Look at some of your regular purchases, and consider reverse-engineering them.
Food can be pretty pricey, and it seems to take a lot of work to eat cheaply and healthily. Here's a free, online cookbook for more ideas, and of course, my blog is chock-full of wonders and amazement. Can't you just feel it radiating out of your monitor?? Good luck, Happy New Year, and stay frugal!

While the execution caused an outcry over pain Lockett may have felt, this article tells the story of Lockett's victim and the heinous crime that led to his death sentence. It was compiled using records and interviews, including the transcript from the murder trial of Clayton Lockett, his 1999 police interrogation video, archived news reports, interviews and public records. Jane Doe is a pseudonym for the female victim who was raped by Lockett, because the Tulsa World does not identify victims of sex crimes.

CLEVELAND, Ohio, January 27 /PRNewswire/ -- Simbionix, the world's leading developer of medical simulation systems, has released two new endovascular training modules, Cerebral Interventions and Cardiac Rhythm Management.
These new ANGIO Mentor modules demonstrate Simbionix's commitment to enriching the content of its training systems and maximizing their value for customers.
The Cardiac Rhythm Management module enables virtual placement of pacemakers and defibrillators. Any change in the patient's heart rate during the simulation sounds an alarm so trainees can learn to provide immediate treatment. For the first time, trainees have the ability to train on canulating the coronary sinus, placing a lead and perform electrical measurements in a virtual and safe environment.
The Cerebral Intervention module features complete neurovasculature and a biplane x-ray system, making it the perfect platform for learning how to deliver intracranial coils and stents. Simbionix's CEO, Gary Zamler, explains; "This module gives neuro-interventionists the opportunity to handle complications, such as a perforated aneurysm, in our unique simulation environment, rather than in the OR."
Mr. Zamler continues: "We at Simbionix are proud of these two new modules and their potential contribution to the quality of medical practice."
Dr Thomas Masaryk, Chairman and Fellowship Director at The Cleveland
Clinic Neuroradiology, is also excited about the new module: "Historically
one might say that I've been a "simulator skeptic." But, I was utterly amazed
with what Simbionix has accomplished: a thoroughly impressive recreation of
complex aneurysm coiling. As head of our ACGME fellowship with over twenty
years of experience, I have no doubt that the cerebral intervention module
will change the way we teach intracranial procedures. In the future I foresee
a significant impact on case planning and

DETROIT Wayne State University researchers announced today a $25,000 planning grant from the National Science Foundation to develop a strategic plan for a field-based water research center.
Known as HEART the Huron to Erie Alliance for Research and Training the center will focus on the development of field facilities at Lake St. Clair Metropark and Belle Isle along the Huron-to-Erie corridor, a binational body of water shared by the United States and Canada connecting the upper and lower Great Lakes. The project is a collaborative effort between Wayne State, Macomb Community College, the Huron-Clinton Metropark Authority and Macomb County.
The goal of HEART is to design activities and facilities to attract scientists, educators and students from national and international institutions to conduct innovative research focusing on urban systems and the environment. HEART's training and research activites will impact more than 4 million people along the waterway, who will receive recreational, economical and ecological benefits from the project. In addition, HEART will inform watershed managers and policymakers from a variety of urban freshwater environments.
The project, led by Carol Miller, Ph.D., P.E., professor of civil and environmental engineering in WSU's College of Engineering, and the Wayne State University Urban Watershed Environmental Research Group (UWERG) including Donna Kashian, assistant professor of biological sciences in the College of Liberal Arts & Sciences; David Pitts, Ph.D., associate professor of pharmaceutical science in the Eugene Applebaum College of Pharmacy & Health Sciences; and Jeffrey Ram, Ph.D., professor of physiology in the School of Medicine aims to develop the center's research themes, identify research partners and expand recruitment networks for attracting students and post-docs to the facility, obtain expert input on field station organization and administration, and develop a strategic plan fo

The Royal Order of Alcazar (Guild)This club/site is the domain of The Royal Order of Alcazar [RooA], a premier guild in the Guild Wars realm. The guild was founded on March 25, 2006 in anticipation of the Guild Wars Factions release and includes players from both Guild Wars and Guild Wars Factions. The Guild Hall, a Castle that roars over the plains of Wizard's Isle, is located in the Canthan island chain and to the east has a township on the edge of the Canthan ocean. The inspiration for the Guild was the famed Western wonder: "El Alcazar de Segovia". The famed castle stronghold of the Spanish nobility was the base of an ancient order of nights and the modern training ground for the Spanish Armada and Army. A concise history of the Guild's real life Guild Hall is as follows: "Originally a fortress, the Alcazar has also been a royal palace, and more recently a military academy. In the upper part of the city, the oldest foundations have been identified as Roman. Documents indicate that a fortress existed on this site by the early 12th century known as the Alcazar, an Arabic word for a royal residence. The palace was enlarged in the 13th and 14th centuries and again during the reign of King John II (1405-1454) when towers were added and the East Tower and moat were enlarged. Under Philip II (1558-1598) major alterations were made; slate roofs and spires on towers were added. From 1764-1862 the Royal Artillery College was housed here. A fire in 1862 destroyed most of the structure, which was rebuilt about two decades later in a more romantic style than the original building".

perfect for storing paper by the copier Jennifer from Reading, PA on 09/04/2014 – Verified Buyer
we bought two of these for our office and use one by the copier to hold different colors/types of paper. everything is so neat and organized now. these are much larger and sturdier than I thought they looked in the picture. the only problem is the way the "shelves" attach they sit on top of the metal pieces you put in each hole and the only thing keeping the "shelf" in place is the plastic lip at the front that you sits behind the metal piece. since the "shelves" are just really thick cardboard they're very light weight and it's easy to pull out the whole shelf.

Mood and the Use of Scripts: Does a Happy Mood Really Lead to Mindlessness?
ABSTRACT The authors tested whether happy moods increase, and sad moods decrease, reliance on general knowledge structures. Participants in happy, neutral, or sad moods listened to a "going-out-for-dinner" story. Happy participants made more intrusion errors in recognition than did sad participants, with neutral mood participants falling in between (Experiments 1 and 2). Happy participants outperformed sad ones when they performed a secondary task while listening to the story (Experiment 2), but only when the amount of script-inconsistent information was small (Experiment 3). This pattern of findings indicates higher reliance on general knowledge structures under happy rather than sad moods. It is incompatible with the assumption that happy moods decrease either cognitive capacity or processing motivation in general, which would predict impaired secondary-task performance.

- "For instance, low compared to high-fluent stimuli are liked less, judged as being false, toxic, or less famous and funny (Leder, Bär, & Topolinski, 2013; Topolinski, 2014; Topolinski, Lindner, & Freudenberg, 2014; Topolinski & Reber, 2010a, 2010b; Topolinski & Strack, 2010). Such a phasic negative affect, independent from fluency, has been shown to function like negative mood in cognitive tuning, where negative compared to positive affective states inhibit automatic and heuristic processes and induce more systematic and effortful processing (e.g., Bless et al., 1996; Kuhl, 2000; Ruder & Bless, 2003; Baumann & Kuhl, 2002). For instance, phasic negative compared to positive affect, when induced randomly, changing from trial to trial and lasting only for around a second, decreases creative performance (Topolinski & Deutsch, 2012), or inhibits automatic semantic processing (Topolinski & Deutsch, 2013). "
ABSTRACT: The emotion of surprise entails a complex of immediate responses, such as cognitive interruption, attention allocation to, and more systematic processing of the surprising stimulus. All these processes serve the ultimate function to increase processing depth and thus cognitively master the surprising stimulus. The present account introduces phasic negative affect as the underlying mechanism responsible for this switch in operating mode. Surprising stimuli are schema-discrepant and thus entail cognitive disfluency, which elicits immediate negative affect. This affect in turn works like a phasic cognitive tuning switching the current processing mode from more automatic and heuristic to more systematic and reflective processing. Directly testing the initial elicitation of negative affect by surprising events, the present experiment presented high and low surprising neutral trivia statements to N = 28 participants while assessing their spontaneous facial expressions via facial electromyography. High compared to low surprising trivia elicited higher corrugator activity, indicative of negative affect and mental effort, while leaving zygomaticus (positive affect) and frontalis (cultural surprise expression) activity unaffected. Future research shall investigate the mediating role of negative affect in eliciting surprise-related outcomes.Frontiers in Psychology 02/2015; 6:134.

- "Despite these assumptions about a link between positive affect and heuristic and gist-based processing, there are three classes of challenges to the contention that positive affect promotes memory errors in learning prototypical or semantically related concepts. First, the assumption that positive affect induces reliance on general knowledge is at odds with evidence that positive affect enhances originality and innovative thinking (Isen, 2000). 1 The originality and innovation observed in people in positive mood is likely achieved by less reliance on well-learned, typical ways of thinking, as opposed to the greater reliance posited by Bless et al. (1996). This is because schema-based knowledge tends to routinize thinking and impedes access to unusual cognitive material (Rowe, Hirsh, & Anderson, 2007). "
ABSTRACT: Increasing evidence that positive affect enhances associative processing has lent weight to the idea that positive affect increases false memory for information that is thematically interrelated. Using the Deese–Roediger–McDermott paradigm, we examined whether mild positive affect facilitates monitoring processes in modulating false memory for associate words. When participants in the warned condition – in contrast to those in the unwarned condition – were overtly warned about possible false recognition of the critical lure, we found that positive affect, compared to neutral affect, significantly enhanced monitoring through a warning and reduced false recognition. Signal detection analyses suggest that when a warning is provided, positive affect enhances sensitivity to discriminate list items from critical lures, but it does not shift the overall decision criterion. Taken together, we conclude that positive affect facilitates the effect of a warning in reducing false memories for semantic associates.The Journal of Positive Psychology 12/2014; 10(3):1-11.

- "Thus, it is not surprising to find that happy people show mindlessness to intrusion errors (Bless, Clore, Schwarz, Golisano & Rabe, 1996). Those studies suggest that happy people tend to use more effortless processing, to be less sensitive to circumstances, and to detect problematic surroundings less acutely; sad people, however , do exactly the opposite (Bless et al., 1996; Forgas, Laham & Vargas, 2005; Harris & Thoresen, 2006). Thus conceived, as they are supposed to be less sensitive to circumstances, happy people may tend to ignore the harm caused by perpetrators and, be more forgiving toward perpetrators. "
ABSTRACT: This paper examined how individual group status and happiness influence forgiveness. In Study 1, happiness was treated as a trait difference: highly happy people, compared with very unhappy people, were found to be more willing to forgive murderers. More important, an interaction effect between happiness and group status on forgiveness was found, that is, highly happy people tended to be more forgiving when either ingroup or outgroup members were killed; unhappy people, however, tended to be less forgiving about murder when ingroup rather than outgroup members were killed. In Study 2, happiness was treated as an emotional state difference: happiness, rather than sadness, was found to bring greater forgiveness. Moreover, consistent with the interaction effect displayed in Study 1, happy participants tended to forgive more when ingroup or outgroup members were hurt; sad participants tended to forgive less when ingroup members rather than outgroup members were hurt. Implications for connections between happiness, group membership, and forgiveness are discussed.Scandinavian Journal of Psychology 12/2014; 56(2). DOI:10.1111/sjop.12185 · 1.29 Impact Factor

Colin Firth's memorable wet shirt scene in Pride and Prejudice has been recreated thanks to a giant statue of Mr Darcy which has been built in The Serpentine.
Rolling stones guitarist Keith Richards has spoken of the moment the band witnessed a man being killed in the crowd in front of them, and how they kept on playing to "distract people".
A geographical battle for the capital's musical soul begins tomorrow when Hyde Park is relaunched as a gentrified, "green" concert location in a £3 million bid to lure festival-goers from an Olympic Park site described as a "concrete dustbowl".
Announcement follows tickets for earlier show selling out in matter of minutes
The Rolling Stones will play a Summer concert in the heart of Mayfair for those who find Glastonbury's muddy fields too tortuous to negotiate.
Bruce Springsteen will return to London this summer as headliner of Hard Rock Calling - despite having his set at last year's festival cut short after overrunning.
Lorraine Kelly "screamed like a girl" as she rode a zip wire to promote a Christmas charity campaign to thank troops serving around the world.
Tunisia's Oussama Mellouli won the gold medal in the men's swimming marathon to become the first competitor ever to get medals in the pool and open water.
Extra tickets could be released on Sunday morning for the Closing Ceremony spectacular, which will feature The Spice Girls, George Michael and The Who heading a cast of British musical stars, the organisers have said.
Great Britain's poor Olympics in the water concluded today with just three medals after Daniel Fogg finished fifth in the open water in the Serpentine.
Nicola Adams was not the only British woman to fight her way to Olympic glory yesterday.
Over 2 million visitors have arrived in London to support the Games, making it the biggest crowd event in the city's history.
Larry Godfrey had a mixed week. The GB archer scored his highest ever score but his team was knocked out by Ukraine. Now, it's the individuals...

A Showcase of Beautifully Designed Gig Posters
Please Stumble this Post:
Designing a gig poster is one of the most creatively challenging types of commercial design. There is good reason for this. Posters advertising events have been around for as long as writing has been, but poster design really blossomed in the late nineteenth century when chromolithography allowed posters to be printed with vivid, full-colour images. The technology intrigued artists including Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec and Jules Chéret, who came to be considered the father of advertising placards.
That fine art tradition was still going strong when gig posters became popular in the 1960s, and with the modern rise of indie bands as well as cheaper and easier printing techniques, designing gig posters has become even more prestigious.
That is not to say that designing the posters is easy. There are many elements that must be included and many competing themes and ideas that must be incorporated. The initial theme for the poster is usually the band's attitude and the style of their music, and then the designer must incorporate the feel of the current show the band is putting on. The design must also take into consideration what will draw in the band's current or potential fan base and, if applicable, the atmosphere of the particular venue or festival the show is happening in. Finally, it must seamlessly incorporate the time, date and location of the gig, as well as the names of the supporting acts, all without becoming overwhelming.
It can be little surprise, then, that designers will rise to the creative challenge with some spectacular results. Below are ten such beautifully designed gig posters. Interestingly, many of the examples mimic retro designs, harking back to the gig posters of the 1960s, perhaps in an effort to capture some of the original designs' ability to become collectors' items.
