Amazon.com Review
FROM: Tokyo Office
DATE: January 5, 1991
RE: My American Wife!...
Here is list of IMPORTANT THINGS for My American Wife!
1. Attractiveness, wholesomeness, warm personality
2. Delicious meat recipe (NOTE: Pork and other meats is second class meats, so please remember this easy motto: "Pork is Possible, but Beef is Best!")
3. Attractive, docile husband
4. Attractive, obedient children
5. Attractive, wholesome lifestyle
6. Attractive, clean house...
1. Physical imperfections
2. Obesity
3. Squalor
4. Second class peoples
The series, My American Wife!, initally seems like a dream come true for Jane as she criss-crosses the United States filming a different American family each week for her Japanese audience. Naturally, the emphasis is on meat, and Ozeki has fun with out-there recipes such as rump roast in coke and beef fudge; but as Jane becomes more familiar with her subject, she becomes increasingly aware of the beef industry's widespread practice of using synthetic estrogens on their cattle and determines to sabotage the program.
Cut to Tokyo where Akiko Ueno struggles through the dull misery of life with her brutish husband, who happens to be in charge of the show's advertising. After seeing one of Jane's subversive episodes about a vegetarian lesbian couple, Akiko gets in touch and the two women plot to expose the meat industry's hazardous practices. Romance, humor, intrigue, and even a message--My Year of Meats has it all. This is a book that even a vegetarian would love.

Rotational head movements cause the fluid in the cupula of the semicircular canal to "bend" the hair cells. The hair cells, in turn, send a signal to your brain that you are experiencing "motion".
Vertigo can occur when these hair cells are still sending signals of motion, even though you may be perfectly still, giving you the "illusion of movement".

Board to Consider $6.6 Million Homeless Shelter Contract — County staff is recommending that the Arlington County Board approve a $6.6 million contract for construction of the new year-round homeless shelter in Courthouse.

Ebbin Reflects on Va. Marriage Ruling — State Sen. Adam Ebbin, the first and only openly gay member of the Virginia General Assembly, had mixed emotions after last week's ruling that the Commonwealth's ban on same-sex marriage is unconstitutional. "I always thought if you were gay, you could never get married, you'd never be able to have children," he told the Washington Post. "I didn't know you could be gay and be happy." [Washington Post]

Update at 2:50 p.m. — Alexandria Mayor Bill Euille also announced today that he's running for Rep. Moran's seat in Congress, according to the Washington Post.
State Sen. Adam Ebbin says he intends to run for the congressional seat of the retiring Rep. Jim Moran.
Ebbin, who represents parts of Arlington, Alexandria and Fairfax, joins an increasingly crowded field of candidates for the Democratic nomination. Announced candidates for the June primary include state Democratic party chair Charniele Herring, Del. Patrick Hope, Del. Mark Sickles, former Lieutenant Gov. Don Beyer and Bruce Shuttleworth. More are expected to enter the race soon.
Ebbin's campaign issued the following press release this afternoon.
State Senator Adam Ebbin (D-Alexandria) announced today that he would seek election to the U.S. House seat of retiring Congressman Jim Moran (D-8). Ebbin has filed the paperwork needed to launch his campaign committee for the June 10 Democratic Primary.
"For twenty-three years, Jim Moran has stood for the progressive values of the people of Northern Virginia. I am proud to have been represented by him in Congress, and to have represented him in Richmond," Ebbin said.
Since 2004, Ebbin has represented voters from Alexandria, Arlington County, and Fairfax County in the Virginia General Assembly, first as a member of the House of Delegates, and since 2012 as State Senator. Ebbin is the only openly gay member of the Virginia General Assembly.
"Today, I am excited to announce that I will be running to succeed Congressman Moran," said Senator Ebbin. "For over a decade in Richmond, I've been a strong voice for progressive values who's gotten results. I've fought to end human trafficking, to strengthen protections for seniors and the disabled, to ensure LGBT equality and to expand Medicaid in Virginia."
During his time in Richmond, Ebbin has been recognized as a proven progressive leader by the Virginia League of Conservation Voters, Equality Virginia, the Virginia AFL-CIO, NARAL Pro-Choice Virginia, and other key progressive organizations. In 2011, Ebbin authored a bill to reign in the abuses of then-Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli.
"Now, more than ever, we need effective leaders in Congress who know how to reach across the aisle to accomplish important goals while never abandoning our shared progressive values. In Congress, I will work with President Obama to protect the Affordable Care Act and ensure access to quality health care. I will protect federal workers from mean-spirited attacks. I will work alongside representatives from every state and political party to raise the minimum wage, fight climate change, and ensure that we never abandon the promise of Social Security and Medicare," Ebbin said.
Prior to serving in the General Assembly, Ebbin served as Governor Mark Warner's Chief Deputy Commissioner of the Department of Labor and Industry. He has lived in Alexandria for more than 20 years, and served on the 8th District Democratic Committee and the Virginia Democratic Party's State Steering Committee.
Ebbin has launched a campaign website at www.AdamEbbin.com.
A bill restoring Virginians' ability to receive their tax refunds in paper check form could be on its way to pass the General Assembly this session.
The legislation, introduced by Sen. Adam Ebbin (D-30), passed the state Senate Jan. 20 by a unanimous 38-0 vote — the Senate is missing two votes until new Lt. Governor Ralph Northam and Attorney General's Mark Herring's seats are filled via special election — and is waiting to be considered by the House of Delegates Finance Committee.
As of January 2013, the state started only doling out tax rebates via direct deposit or a debit card, which comes with associated costs, like ATM and transaction fees. The Senate Finance Committee voted to abolish the debit card option altogether if the bill is signed into law.
"Taxpayers deserve the convenience of receiving their refunds in the form they prefer," Ebbin said in a press release after the bill passed the Senate. "By contrast, the debit card system was fraught with fees and was not consumer-friendly. Taxpayers were even charged for withdrawing funds from an in-network ATM. I'm glad the Senate recognizes the need for reform."
The bill states that, if the taxpayer doesn't indicate which payment method he prefers between direct deposit and a mailed check, a check will be mailed to the provided address. If the bill passes, it would go into effect for taxes collected this year, meaning taxes filed by April 15, 2015.

State Sen. Adam Ebbin (D-30) doesn't like it when supporters commend him for "fighting the good fight" on legalizing same-sex marriage in Virginia.
Such talk suggests that he's taking a futile stand to make a point. Instead, Ebbin insists that he's in it to win it.
Ebbin has introduced legislation for the 2014 Virginia General Assembly session to try to repeal the Marshall-Newman Amendment, Virginia's constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage. The legislation, Senate Joint Resolution 1, is a long-shot by any measure: it would require passage in 2014 and 2016 in order to repeal the gay marriage ban.
Ebbin's bill will be the first time the Senate will hear a same-sex marriage proposal — the only challenge to the Marshall-Newman Amendment previously came in the House of Delegates and never made it out of committee, Ebbin said.
"I've waited to introduce this bill until we've come to the point where I think it is a bill that Virginians are ready to pass," he told ARLnow.com. "I have had discussions with Republicans and Democrats, including with people who supported the Marshall-Newman Amendment. There are supportive Republicans in the General Assembly."
Ebbin will put the bill before the Senate Privileges and Elections committee, which he said will allow him and his allies to identify who the bill's supporters are, even if it fails this year. Ebbin, however, has no plans to see the bill fail. Despite the amendment passing by a significant margin in 2006, he believes the time is right to take decisive action.
"We're working to win," he said. "If we don't win one year, we're working towards winning. It's not tilting at windmills, it's making things happen, whether quickly or over a multi-year effort."
Public opinion around the country has shifted drastically in recent years over same-sex marriage. Sixteen states and Washington, D.C., have legalized gay marriage, including seven in 2013, and the U.S. Supreme Court struck down the federal Defense of Marriage Act in June.
Ebbin is encouraged by several Republicans both in and out of the General Assembly whose opinions "have evolved" in recent years on the subject. At least as of last week, he was confident that he has secured at least one GOP vote. When asked the reasons they've given him for the changes in their opinions, he said, "It's not really complicated. People say it's the right thing to do, or they know it's the right thing to do."
"It wouldn't have been seen as a winnable fight five years ago," he said. "The Supreme Court has spoken and people across the country, and including Virginia, are supportive of marriage equality."

Ebbin Introduces Repeal of Va. Gay Marriage Ban — State Sen. Adam Ebbin has introduced legislation that would repeal Virginia's constitutional amendment banning gay marriage. In order to repeal the amendment, which was approved by voters in 2006, Ebbin's legislation would need to pass the General Assembly in 2014 and 2016, and be approved in a statewide referendum.

Two of the attorneys that launched a successful legal battle to get the U.S. Supreme Court to overturn California's same-sex marriage ban are joining the suit against Virginia's marriage amendment.
State Sen. Adam Ebbin (D-30), the first openly gay member of the Virginia General Assembly, released a statement on Ted Olson and David Boies' decision to join the legal team contesting the Marshall-Newman amendment, which defines marriage in Virginia as between a man and a woman.
"Mr. Olson and Mr. Boies are among America's finest legal minds and I am delighted that they are putting their talents to use in seeking to strike down of the Commonwealth's draconian Marshall-Newman amendment," Ebbin said in a statement "It is not a question of whether marriage equality will come to Virginia; it is a question of when."
The American Foundation for Equal Rights announced today that Olson and Bostic had joined the legal challenge. The organization hopes the suit reaches the U.S. Supreme Court, which struck down California's Proposition 8, but left the power of defining marriage to the states.
Ebbin has previously spoken out condemning state Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli, the Republican candidate for governor, for his anti-gay stances.

State Sen. Adam Ebbin (D) is blasting Virginia Attorney General and gubernatorial candidate Ken Cuccinelli (R) for his anti-gay views.
Ebbin, the first openly-gay member of the Virginia General Assembly, responded to remarks Cuccinelli made at a debate over the weekend. Cuccinelli defended his previously-stated "sincerely held beliefs" about homosexuality — that, in the paraphrased words of moderator Judy Woodruff, "same-sex acts are against nature and harmful to society."
"My personal beliefs about the personal challenge of homosexuality haven't changed," he said. "The notion that because I believe marriage ought to be protected, because I believe life begins at conception — just like hundreds of thousands of independents and Democrats — this isn't just me, it isn't just Republicans."
In response, Ebbin issued the following statement today.
Ken Cuccinelli's unapologetic and bizarre views on gay people perpetuate the worst stereotypes and make Virginia look like a hostile backwater. Labeling gay people "harmful to society" and calling homosexuality a "personal challenge" puts him out of the mainstream of Virginia thinking. It's one thing to be prejudiced in your private life, but it's another to use a position of public trust to promote intolerance and bigotry. As a gay person, I know how this type of rhetoric can hurt people, and I don't think that Ken Cuccinelli understands that at all.
This debate in Virginia is especially timely since our neighbors in Maryland and DC now have marriage equality. Terry McAuliffe understands perfectly, as I do, that this places us at a competitive and economic disadvantage. That's what this governor's race is all about.
Cuccinelli has also been trying to overturn a federal court ruling that found Virginia's anti-sodomy law, which outlawed oral and anal sex, unconstitutional. He says the law wasn't intended to prosecute consenting adults, but instead served as a tool prosecutors could use in cases involving child sex predators.
Cuccinelli is facing Democrat Terry McAuliffe and Libertarian Robert Sarvis in the race for governor. The election will be held Tuesday, Nov. 5.
Hybrid car owners and climate advocates joined State Sen. Adam Ebbin (D) on Monday as the lawmaker announced an effort to repeal the state's new hybrid and electric vehicle tax.
Ebbin and Del. Scott Surovell (D-Mt. Vernon) both plan to introduce bills to get rid of the tax during the 2014 legislative session.
"Hybrids already pay gas taxes and the mileage of both hybrids and non-hybrids vary significantly," said Ebbin. "There are gasoline-only autos that get better mileage than some hybrids, and some hybrids, including SUVs, that do not get mileage as good as many gas-only powered cars. The punitive annual hybrid tax was not well thought out and hastily passed."
The $64 tax went into effect yesterday as part of Gov. Bob McDonnell's (R) transportation bill. As a compromise between McDonnell and the state General Assembly, the amount was reduced from the originally proposed $100 hybrid tax. The measure is expected to raise about $5 million out of the $1.4 billion budget.
The more than 91,000 hybrid vehicles registered in Virginia make up about one percent of all vehicles in the state. Around 80 percent of the hybrids are registered in Northern Virginia.
Earlier this year, Ebbin and Surovell circulated a petition requesting the removal of the tax from the transportation bill. That petition picked up around 8,000 signatures but did not prevent the tax from being included.
The two lawmakers plan to introduce the bills to repeal the hybrid tax on the first day of the state's new legislative session, which is January 8.
The Commonwealth was once again the butt of jokes on The Daily Show last night. But this time around, a local Virginia legislator at least got some snarky kudos from Jon Stewart.
The Comedy Central show featured a mock-segment, alternately titled "Virginia Is Not For Lovers" and "19th Century News," about the efforts of state Sen. Adam Ebbin (D) to repeal the state's long-standing law against an unmarried couple living together. Though rarely enforced, Virginia law classifies "lewd and lascivious cohabitation" as a Class 3 misdemeanor, punishable by up to a $500 fine.
Ebbin's bill, SB 969, has passed the Virginia House of Delegates and state Senate and is now awaiting Gov. Bob McDonnell's (R) signature.
VA Senate Panel Advances "Love Shack" Bill — A state Senate panel unanimously advanced a bill proposed by Sen. Adam Ebbin (D) that would repeal the Virginia law making it illegal for unmarried couples to live together. Currently, cohabitation by unmarried couples is a misdemeanor under the law, which went into effect in 1877. [Washington Post]
Board Accepts Grant to Fight Childhood Obesity — The County Board has accepted a state grant worth $25,000 to fund a Healthy Meals for Healthy Families program at Carlin Springs Elementary School, intended to fight childhood obesity.

APS Makes EPA's Green Power Purchasers List — Arlington Public Schools has come in at number five on the Environmental Protection Agency's list of the Top 20 K-12 green power purchasers. APS meets six percent of its electricity use by purchasing more than 3,000,000 kilowatt-hours (kWh) of green power each year. "Utilizing green power helps us become more sustainable, while also sending a message to others across the U.S. that supporting clean sources of electricity is a sound business decision and an important choice in reducing climate risk," said APS Superintendent Dr. Pat Murphy. "Most importantly, this conveys to our students the important role and responsibility that all of us have in safeguarding our environment today and in the future." [Arlington Public Schools]

Two state lawmakers who represent parts of Arlington have proposed a gun safety legislation package in the Virginia General Assembly.
State Sen. Adam Ebbin and Del. Patrick Hope, both Democrats, introduced bills that would close the so-called "gun show loophole," require universal background checks on gun purchases, require gun owners to report stolen firearms, and restrict weapon sales to the mentally ill. To drive home the point, the lawmakers recorded two videos (above and below, after the jump) showing them buying a handgun without a background check and buying a high-capacity magazine at a recent gun show in Chantilly, Va.
The legislation was introduced Wednesday, a day before President Obama proposed legislation to require universal background checks, ban high capacity magazines, and ban assault-style weapons.
The gun control bills face an uphill battle in the Republican-controled state legislature; Hope and Ebbin called on Virginia residents to contact their legislators in support of the legislation.
From a press release:
Virginia State Senator Adam P. Ebbin (D-Alexandria) and Delegate Patrick A. Hope (D-Arlington) have introduced a package of gun safety legislation to require universal background checks on prospective firearms purchasers (SB 1232 / HB 2025), close the gun show loophole, and tighten restrictions on the sale of weapons to the mentally ill (SB 1109 / HB 2221).
SB 1109 and HB 2221 would make it a Class 6 felony to sell firearms to persons found mentally incapacitated or who have been involuntarily admitted.
Ebbin also introduced legislation to require the reporting of lost or stolen firearms (SB 965) and to outlaw firearms in legislative buildings (SB 1012).
"We easily purchased a handgun at a Virginia gun show, without undergoing a background check. Sadly, nearly 40% of all gun sales are conducted without a background check. In the interest of community safety, it's not too much to ask for responsible gun purchasers to undergo a background check to screen for criminal history or history of serious mental illness," the two wrote in a joint statement.
The lawmakers discussed their visit to a gun show in a January 15th news conference at the Virginia Capitol. Hope showed the High Standard Sentinel Revolver he bought for $175; because he purchased the gun from a private dealer, he did not have to undergo a background check to screen for a criminal record. "Today, a felon with a violent past can walk into a gun show or go on the Internet and buy any gun with no questions asked," Hope said. "A law we could pass today, requiring universal background checks for all gun sales, would have an almost immediate impact on gun safety. No responsible gun owner is afraid of a background check."
Displaying a 30-round ammunition magazine he purchased for $20, Ebbin said, "Buying a 30-round magazine should not be as easy as buying a candy bar." He noted that a 30-round magazine was used in the recent Newtown, Connecticut tragedy that left 26 dead.
Citing the need to pass SB 965, Ebbin said, "When a gun is stolen, a deadly weapon is in criminal hands—a combination we all want to avoid. Reporting lost or stolen guns can help police avert a tragedy."
Hope and Ebbin called on Virginians to contact their legislators in support of the gun safety legislation.
Technically, in Virginia, it's illegal for an unmarried couple to live together. State Sen. Adam Ebbin (D) is hoping to finally change that.
A law against "lewd and lascivious cohabitation" has been on the books in Virginia since the 19th century. Currently, § 18.2-345 of Virginia code specifies that "If any persons, not married to each other, lewdly and lasciviously associate and cohabit together… each of them shall be guilty of a Class 3 misdemeanor" — punishable by a fine up to $500.
A quick internet search reveals that talk of repealing the archaic law dates back to at least 1981, when the University of Virginia's Cavalier Daily talked to a local prosecutor who attributed "the statute's permanence… to the reluctance of members of the Legislature to stand up and ask for its repeal." In 2005, USA Today noted that Virginia was one of seven states that still prohibited unmarried cohabitation.
The law rarely if ever results in arrests these days, although it was the subject of a 1973 Virginia Supreme Court case. According to USA Today, cohabitation laws usually only come up when they're "cited by landlords as a reason for not renting to cohabiting couples or by government agencies refusing licenses."
Ebbin, who represents Arlington and Alexandria, is hoping to take lewd and lascivious cohabitation off the books once and for all this year. Ebbin has introduced a bill, SB 969, that would eliminate unmarried cohabitation as a crime in Virginia.
The bill is expected to be heard by a state Senate committee Wednesday afternoon, according to the watchdog website Richmond Sunlight.
The Virginia chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union has expressed support for Ebbin's bill. Ebbin's office has not responded to a request for comment.

How To Stop Snoring
This film will show you the proper ways to stop snoring. Learn how to stop this sleeping habit, and make sure the bedroom is as silent as a library.
Step 1: Cease Or Limit Alcohol Consumption
Aside from the overall health and mental problems that alcohol can cause your body, it can also relax your jaw and throat muscles too causing excessive snoring.
Step 2: Stop Smoking
Smoking irritates your breathing passages and can cause them to swell, closing them off, and straining respiration. Plus its just plain yucky. So stop… please.
Step 3: Lose Weight
You may need to go on a neck diet to free up your windpipes from all of the excess baggage weighing it down. Also, exercise is part of a healthy lifestyle that improves respiration and cardiovascular functions.
Step 4: Use A Pillow
Keeping your head properly elevated on your pillow may take part of the strain off of your neck, relieving the pressure on your breathing passages.
Step 5: Sleep On Your Side
According to medical experts, sleeping on your side helps to reduce pressure on your windpipe and forces your jaw muscles to stay somewhat tensed showing minor improvements in snoring.
Step 6: Clear The Nasal Pasage
Try wearing a nasal strip. Nasal strips stick to your nose, flexing it gently outwards, opening up the nostrils to allow more airflow. Also, try using a nasal spray before bed to aid in clearing your nasal cavity.
Step 7: Meds
If all else fails, medication is available, or in severe cases, surgical procedures. Ask your doctor. For those with sleep apnea, this may be a life-saving measure.

I just heard you..
I heard what you said.
You called me pretty.
You said you would have nothing to live for
If I wasn't here.
Dear Daddy,
Why can't you just tell me to my face?
Why can't you just se eme smile about it.
Daddy, please,
Don't think I'll take it weird,
It'll be a father-daughter moment.
Tell me you love me
To my face..
I won't mind it!
You're still my Daddy..
I may be 13...
And people say I'm too old..
But you're still my Daddy..
I may seem mad sometimes..
But I love you.
Say it to me too?
Say you'll always be there for me
To me.
Dear Daddy,
I love you...
Thank you.

Former American Idol finalist Constantine Maroulis apparently is among the many alumni disappointed about Paula Abdul leaving the show.
But he's probably the only one who had to take a punch to defend her honor.
According to the New York Daily News, when the Rock of Ages star said something about hoping the "Forever Your Girl" singer would eventually return to Idol, a well-dressed man pushed him to the ground and started throwing punches.
Indeed, the Tony nominee twittered that, while Kanye West was performing at a party for Casio Wednesday night, he was attacked.
"Some drunk dude tackled me in the middle of the concert and jumped on me," he wrote.
The man hit and kicked him repeatedly before security stepped in, the newspaper reports. "The guy body-slammed him and punched him in the face and then just stood up, straightened his tie, and said, 'B—ch, don't you ever,' before walking away," their witness said.
At least the Tony nominee had a sense of humor about the incident.
"Broke up quick, didn't even know him. Or throw one punch," he reported. "I don't mind a fight...but only when its fair and I'm lookin'."
We doubt Abdul was speaking specifically to Maroulis when she tweeted, "You've been nothing shy of brilliant in your loving way of taking great care of me," yesterday, but we're sure the statement still applies.
Paula might be making an appearance on So You Think You Can Dance next season. BTW, did you hear who won?

Lily Collins touted as Hollywood's Next Big Thing in Glamour
With three new films due out this year -- including a lead role in "The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones," a film based on a young adult fantasy book series a la "The Hunger Games" -- 24-year-old Lily Collins has certainly earned the title bestowed upon her by Glamour in the magazine's July issue: "Leader of the New Hollywood Girl Pack." But don't confuse her being dubbed the "next big thing" with her acting like Little Miss Thing. Collins loves her parents -- she says her mom, Jill Tavelman, is her "best friend" -- but she refuses to rely on her dad, Phil Collins' fame to get ahead.
"I always wanted to do it on my own. I never wanted anyone making phone calls," she tells Glamour. "A name can open doors, but there's a quote I like: 'Personality can open doors, but only character can keep them open.'" She says her mom, meanwhile, is her mentor. "She guides me through my personal life, telling me to experiment," says the style-obsessed Collins. "She lets me borrow her vintage. She has Chanel and eighties stuff from Yohji Yamamoto and Vivienne Westwood that she got when vintage wasn't cool … She has always encouraged me to feel like being me is enough. That's really special, especially in a place like Hollywood."

London-based Furneaux Stewart has designed this cafe on one of Britain's highest sites.The £6 million glass and granite block on Mount Snowdon is at the end of the mountain railway, the only access point to the 1,085m peak, which can be buffeted by 170 mile-an-hour winds.
The cafe will include two lobby areas, a kitchen and rest areas for train staff.Architect Dominique Haslam said work could only take place between April and October and carrying materials on the train would be difficult.The cafe will replace one by Sir Clough Williams-Ellis if Snowdon National Park Authority gives it the go ahead in October.

|Acute multi-vessel coronary stent thrombosis.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 18823736 Owner: NLM Status: In-Data-Review
|Background: Coronary artery stent thrombosis is a rare but often fatal complication associated with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) using both bare-metal stents and drug-eluting stents. Although strict adherence to dual anti-platelet therapy (aspirin plus clopidogrel) minimizes this risk, stent thrombosis will still occur in rare patients, leading to acute, subacute, or late life-threatening acute coronary syndromes. Objectives: To present a rare case of acute stent thrombosis involving multiple vessels to increase awareness of this life-threatening condition among emergency physicians, and to review the current guidelines for anti-platelet therapy in this patient population. Case Report: A 52-year-old man who underwent PCI using drug-eluting stents in two separate coronary vessels presented to the Emergency Department within 2 h of discharge from the hospital with chest pain, dynamic electrocardiogram changes, and elevated cardiac markers. Despite compliance with the current recommendations for post-PCI anti-platelet therapy, urgent repeat catheterization revealed total thrombotic occlusion of both stents, requiring urgent repeat intervention. Conclusion: Despite patient compliance with the currently recommended anti-platelet regimen after stent therapy for coronary artery disease, acute stent thrombosis remains a rare but life-threatening risk in both the immediate and delayed post-intervention period. In addition, premature cessation of this anti-platelet therapy stands as the greatest risk factor for such thrombotic events. This case is presented to inform emergency physicians of the current post-PCI anticoagulation recommendations to help mitigate the risk of such complications.

Yokohama's Rinko Park
Yokohama Bay Area Parks 6
There are six pleasant parks alongside Yokohama Bay. Rinko Park is just behind the Pacifico Yokohama (Hotel and Convention Center). You can enjoy a really beautiful bay view from here, but it is actually a little known spot for visitors. If you stay at a hotel in the Minato-Mirai 21 area, please be sure to take a walk in this park. It's also a great place to have a picnic. There is a pond in the northwest corner of the park into which seawater comes pouring in during high tide. An index of this series is here.

The 'efficiency' is going to be the private companies issue, and I have faith in private companies that they will compete and find ways to succeed.
One of the biggest problems I have with the exchange system is that government is going to define the minimum acceptable coverage. That's a recipe for constant expansion/inclusion of non-basic, but politically popular coverages (e.g. contraception).
Going back to the concept of free riders in our current system, the basic coverage should just mimic what the uninsured are already afforded. That is, emergency and catastrophic care. Congress and governmental bureaucrats are not competent to decide what types of preventative care and elective care are cost effective. Instead, decisions will be based on politics, with those willing to give the most to those who don't have to pay for it always having the upper hand.

A friend of mine last week mentioned she had gotten a brand-new touchscreen desktop PC to replace a relic she'd had for years.
But she continued on to tell me she had set a system password – and duly written it down – only to later realize she'd written it down wrong.
She was locked out of her brand-new touchscreen desktop PC, and the best she could tell, she would have to pay about $80 for a Windows 8 recovery disk since her computer came with the software pre-loaded.
I was of course dismayed for her.
In my book that would be like taking a kid to Disney World, taking her up to the gate and saying, "Look at that! Isn't it awesome? OK, time to go home now."
So since I'm not generally one to back down from a computer-related challenge, I offered to see if I could fix it for her.
I cautioned that it might require erasing the whole thing and starting fresh, but since she'd only used it for less than a week, she didn't have anything on it that she minded losing.
So I did my research, and it looked like I had a few options. Apparently this is not an uncommon occurrence, because Windows 8 offers a utility to create a password-reset disk for just this situation.
Unfortunately, you have to create the disk before you're locked out, so scratch that.
Another method involved restarting the computer and entering Advanced Startup Options, opening a command prompt and copying over a specific utility file.
Unfortunately, you have to have the operating system's installation disk, otherwise you're simply prompted for the password you're trying to bypass, so scratch that.
I'll admit that by that point, I was getting just a tad frustrated. I had a few choice words about computer manufacturers' relatively recent practice of withholding physical installation disks in favor of pre-loading the installation files on a partition of the hard drive.
Which reminded me that they pre-load the installation files on a partition of the hard drive.
I recalled that I'd run into a similar issue with a desktop PC I'd bought shortly after that became standard practice. Except that time, I'd gotten a particularly nasty virus and was just going to reformat and call it done. I'd eventually discovered I could access the installation files through Windows' advanced boot options.
On a hunch, I decided to try that with my friend's computer.
Sure enough, I found an option to do a factory reset, which erases the hard drive and restores the system back to the initial factory setup.
I'll note that they've become more kind in recent years, since they now offer options to back up select types of personal data during the reset process. I was slightly jealous thinking back on the data I lost those years ago.
So just to be safe, I told the computer to back up my friend's photos, documents and personal data. I held my breath, crossed my fingers and clicked the button.
And then waited. And waited some more.
It took about an hour for it to finish, and I had a brief, "NO!" moment when I saw my friend's name appear on the screen. I quickly realized, though, that it wasn't prompting me for a password.
I poked around a bit, opening and closing different programs to make sure it wasn't some cruel hoax.
Finally satisfied, I declared the computer, "Fixed."
I came away from the whole experience with a few lessons firmly ingrained in my brain.
First, when I saw how simple it would be to fix it with that nifty password-reset disk, I heartily wished I had one. I suspect anyone else in a similar situation would also, so it might be a REALLY good idea to make one if you have a password set on your Windows PC and you haven't already made one.
Windows is very good about walking you through processes such as that, so I suspect it's fairly straightforward.
Second, Windows offers users the option to create physical recovery disks in case something catastrophic happens and you need to re-install the operating system. Although you can access the installation files through Windows' advanced boot options, some users may not be comfortable "digging around" in the computer like that. In that case, creating recovery disks is a pretty straightforward process that only requires blank media, such as a DVD-R or a USB flash drive.
Third – and fourth, fifth and sixth – back up, back up, back up, back up.
I know everyone says that, but it's too easy to say, "I don't have time right now; besides, my computer works fine."
No one expects their hard drive to crash or a virus to turn their computer into a paperweight. And with so much of our lives – from photos, music, financial records and more – all centralized onto our computers, losing any of that data could be critical and irreplaceable.
And although the factory reset option on my friend's computer allowed me to back up some of her data, it didn't allow backup of all types of data.
Plus, sometimes backing up any data is simply not an option during an emergency.
So, do yourself and your repair technician a favor and periodically do a full system backup. And again, Windows makes that process pretty easy also.
Because if nothing else, the simple peace of mind of knowing your data is protected even in the event of a computer snafu is totally worth the minor hassle of taking those precautions.

Some things:
– I sometimes think about working in a furniture store just to observe couples come in and fight over couch seat depth and textiles: a sociological study, you know? Ok… I never actually think about working in a furniture store… I'm really bad at talking about end tables and such.
– Only real adults should have to deal with fabric swatches. Seriously… what is this swatch supposed to tell me about my life? I don't get it.
– I think that Ikea should have a bar instead of a cafeteria.
… I'm shopping for a couch… can you tell? Please send reinforcements (not fabric swatches).
– Buying a car is easier than buying a couch. I'm pretty sure this is fact.
I made this cake with far too much home decor nonsense in my brain. I came to realize that this cake is totally the best air freshener EVER. Couch shenanigans aside… (almost) all you really need is a house that smells of cake. So much can be forgiven is cake exists on pretty plates with hot coffee.
This is where satisfaction begins… in this arrangement of small bowls and measuring spoons.
I love that this recipe comes together with just two mixing bowls. No fancy stand mixer necessary. Well, no mixer needed until it comes time to make the cream cheese frosting… but even that can be twerked with just a large bowl, wooden spoon, and a good dose of elbow grease.
Welcome to where wet ingredients meet dry.
This cake is flavor PACKED. The ground ginger is bright and spicy. I want to put ginger is just about everything these days.
The molasses is deep, rich, and beautifully alluring. I love the honey sweetness paired with the delicate orange notes. This cake is everything ever.
You want to poke this. I know you do.
It's cool. I do too.
This is just enough cream cheese frosting to generously frost the square cake aaaannnnddd sneak a few spoonfuls for yourself. Life is short… unless it's really really long. In both instances, spoonfuls of cream cheese frosting are necessary.
It's like I turned the lights down low to frost my cake.
That wouldn't be weird…
Pomegranates are the magical gem equivalent in the food world. While there are no pomegranates in the cake itself, it feels like pomegranates are the only thing you could possibly decorate this cake with. Pretty/Perfect.
Spiced and moist. Decadent and humble. This is that. These are those. I love when a cake feels relevant and joyful. I love when cake makes my house smell better than my awesome pine scented candle. Air freshener meets crazy delicious.
I baked this cake in a square 8×8-inch square pan. The batter came up to fill the pan about three-quarters of the way full. Should you find that your batter fills the pan more than three-quarters of the way full, I would suggest baking this cake in a 9-inch or 10-inch round cake pan. See what works for you.
Orange Gingerbread with Cream Cheese Frosting
makes 9 generous pieces in an 8×8-inch square pan
For the Cake:
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons ground ginger
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1 3/4 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
3/4 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
3/4 cup unsulphered molasses (not blackstrap)
1/4 cup honey
2 teaspoons orange zest
3/4 cup warm water
For the Cream Cheese Frosting:
1 block (8 ounces) cream cheese frosting, softened
1/2 cup (1 stick, 4 ounces) unsalted butter, at room temperature
big pinch of salt
2 cups powdered sugar, sifted
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract (plus half of a scraped vanilla bean if you'd like)
pomegranate seeds for garnish
Place a rack in the upper third of the oven and preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease an 8×8-inch square (or 9-inch round) baking pan. Line with parchment paper and grease and flour the parchment paper. The parchment paper isn't entirely necessary, it just makes the cake easier to remove from the pan. Set pan aside.
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, spices, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl whisk together vegetable oil, sugar, and eggs until thick and pale. Stir in molasses, honey, and orange zest.
Add the dry ingredients, all at once, to the wet ingredients. Stir together until entirely incorporated. Add the warm water and gently stir until entirely incorporated and the mixture is silky smooth.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan. If you find that the mixture fills the pan more than three-quarters of the way full, you might consider using a larger pan (a 9 or 10-inch pan may serve your better).
Bake cake for 35-45 minutes, or until a cake tester inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
While the cake bakes, make the cream cheese frosting.
In the bowl of an electric stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, blend the cream cheese (yea… just the cream cheese) on medium speed. The cream cheese should be as soft and smooth as possible. Stop the mixer. Add the softened butter. Scraped down the sides of the bowl and beat the two together over medium speed until smooth and incorporated. Add one cup of powdered sugar. Blend until incorporated. Add vanilla extract (and bean, if using) and remaining cup of powdered sugar. Beat on medium high speed until frosting is smooth and silky.
Allow cake to cool in the pan for 20 minutes. Remove and allow to cool completely on a wire rack before frosting the cake. Sprinkle with pomegranate seeds before serving.
This cake can be stored, well wrapped in the refrigerator, for up to 3 days.

i've been craving something holiday-esque topped with cream cheese frosting. this looks incredible. baking asap.
and i just went through the couch drama myself…godspeed! :)
Looks like an awesome cake! Quick question — in the cream cheese frosting you say "Add one cup of powdered sugar. Blend until incorporated. Add vanilla extract (and bean, if using) and remaining flour. Beat on medium high speed until frosting is smooth and silky." That "remaining flour" is "remaining powdered sugar," right? I went back and looked through the recipe and can't find any flour that was reserved…
this is maybe the exact thing i need to do with some of my pomegranate seeds…which my husband does not seem to understand the necessity of this time of year.
First of all, this looks AMAZING., and so right for finally actually feels like winter weather we're having in NYC.. Yum. But on the subject of couches: Macy's! They have a surprisingly great selection, with surprisingly great prices. I got a couch there this summer after looking everywhere, and I love it.
I'm having the same couch issue. And yes, baking is a brilliant way of procrastinating, Ikea should have bar, and a house that smells like cake makes you never want to leave.
Ohhh yuuum!! I'm about to embark on furniture shopping with my man, I'll need this cake!
I like the note you put on the bottom — hahaha ;) Good luck with couch shopping!
Can you sub fresh ginger in here? Curious if you would need more or less of it.
Also, thinking of baking this when my house gets appraised. Subliminal softening with baked goods.
You have GOT to stop the madness. I can't keep up!! Pumpkin curry soup and grilled brie and cranberry cheese kept me occupied this last weekend.
Sounds amazing – I am planning to make gingerbread muffins tonight and now I"m definitely adding orange zest to the mix!
So today I was thinking about gingerbread cupcakes, and then HERE is gingerbread cake! Do you think I could put these in cupcake cups, or would it be too dense?
Gorgeous!!! And I agree… couch shopping is so stressful. I'd much rather buy a car!
No lie, I was imagining poking that cake.
The first thing that popped up in my google reader feed – beautiful! Love the pomegranate seeds on top – the color is perfect.
love the pomegranate garnish!!

Whether you need a fence mended or a room remodeled, you want a handyman who will do the job right.
But how do you evaluate home repairmen?
Begin by asking friends and relatives for their recommendations. Someone who does good work usually gets good recommendations from their clients.
When you get those recommendations, ask what they liked about the repairman. Did he finish the job in a timely manner? Did he charge what he said he would? Has the repair held up over time?
Telephone interview
Once you have a few candidates, start by interviewing them on the phone. As you ask them questions, note how readily and professionally they answer.
How long have they been in business? How soon can they attend to your project? Do they have liability insurance? Will they give references?
Liability insurance
Even a handyman who does small jobs should have liability insurance to cover accidental damage to your home or property. You may pay a little more for you repair project, but the difference is worth paying if an accident happens and youre left worse off than when you started.
And dont just take his word for it ask for proof of insurance.
Check references
Any reputable repairman will have references who will attest to their workmanship. If a candidate refuses to provide references, scratch him off your list.
Check the Better Business Bureau
In addition to checking references, check the Better Business Bureau, which collects and investigates complaints. Call the Louisville BBB at 583-6546 or visit louisville.bbb.org.
Get more than one estimate
Estimates can vary more than you think. You dont necessarily have to choose the least expensive option, but if you have more than one estimate, you hopefully have interviewed and checked references for more than one candidate.
Now youre ready to choose a repairman.
Get it in writing
Before giving someone your business, make sure to get the terms of service in writing. Include the cost of the project, how long it will take, and the consequences if one party doesnt uphold their obligations.
Avoid repairman scams
Do NOT hire any repairman who:
Tries to pressure you into a special deal that is available today only
Demands payment up front
Comes uninvited to your home
