|Phase 2B Study of Rectal Ballooning Training in Female Urinary Incontinence
|Brief Summary
|Urinary incontinence (UI) is a common and worldwide problem.Although pelvic floor muscle training(PFMT) is the standard recommendation for conservative treatment but some patients had difficulty doing PFMT. They could not locate the pelvic floor muscles, and so could not perform the PFMT properly or increase intensity of the exercise. The authors hypothesized that rectal balloon training(RBT) may improve patients' pelvic floor recognition as well as it is another option of progressive strengthening of pelvic floor muscle. This study's aim is to combine RBT with PFMT using the water-filled balloons of Foley catheters
|Detailed Description
|This study's aim is to combine RBT with PFMT using the water-filled balloons of Foley catheters. The catheter would be inserted into the rectum and used as a tool to help the patient recognize the pelvic floor muscles. The advantages of Foley catheters are that they are cheap, safe for contacting the mucosa, easy for self-insertion, and can be reused. Furthermore, we can increase the load of exercise by increasing the amount of water pushing into the balloon, and can use that as a tool for progressive resistive exercise.

About and Appearances
Sexual Tension, Heightening Your Readers' Satisfaction
by Sarah Kades
I gave a workshop for
on writing sexual tension. Enjoy and Happy Writing!
I love writing sexual tension. It's fun, it's dynamic, and you get to create a storm of feeling within your characters. Your characters dance around each other and their feelings for each other and wrestle with darn near everything under the sun trying to ignore the burning heat that is threatening to scorch them if they don't give in to the passion exploding through their system.
But they can't give in. Not yet. Something is stopping them from grabbing that other person and rocking their core. And not just any something. Nope. It has to be a big enough deal to stop this rocking attraction. And sexual tension isn't soft and fuzzy. Soft and fuzzy has a place, mind you, but it is not when the stakes and the passion are so high somethings got to give and your characters have no idea what they are going to do because they can't
on the attraction (insert plot element here where acting on it would be the dumbest thing in the world, internal or external conflict) and they can't
not act
on the attraction (because the attraction and passion are so real, so intense, so burning that not acting on it is the most unnatural and dumbest thing in the world).
Sexual tension has very little (sometimes nothing) to do with the actual act of sex. Sexual tension is passion unsatisfied. It is emotion and conflict, both internal and external, with anticipation and frustration thrown in the mix.
It is that passion, that attraction that makes your characters' life impossible because they cannot stop
their beloved (or be-lusted) everywhere. It's distracting and oh-so-fun to write your characters going through it. It is up to you how you put it in there.
Sexual tension scenes grip your reader. I want my reader to feel what my characters are feeling, feel the sexual tension, feel the sexual frustration, feel the heat that is the no holds bar, intense, crazy attraction that can exist between two people.
The core of writing believable, charged sexual tension, is to
it. Feel that fire and translate it to your reader. Have you ever met someone and were rocked to your absolute core? Have you ever felt completely consumed by passion? Have you been floored that you could feel that much?
Write it. Make your characters
And if you haven't experienced, no worries. As writers we create. Create that feeling, that passion, with so much clarity that your readers are caught up in the maelstrom of emotions and conflict, both internal and external, the anticipation and frustration, that they are squirming in their seats desperate for release, too.
We write sexual tension by overstimulating our characters' senses with each other. We have (at least) five senses to work with. Go play and have fun working your characters into a frenzy over each other. Remember, sensuality trumps sexuality in the sexual tension game, so work with your characters' senses!
Love (or lust) amplifies everything, it takes ordinary situations and experiences and blitzes the system with feeling. Everything is more intense because there is an underlying
that is inexplicable, and impacts
it amplifies
. Sexual tension is part of that. Write it.
A few things to note:
Direct the sexual tension where you want it to go, not where you don't.
Don't 'conflict' your characters into a corner they cannot get out of. Or a corner where your reader looses interest.
Throw your readers enough bones.
Teasing your readers and characters is one thing, but they need something to tide them through. Sexual tension ebbs and flows. Heightening satisfaction includes the sensual dance of push and pull. Keep your reader actively engaged in this drama by keeping it rolling. Too much pushing with no pull will disengage your reader. Keep them engaged and wanting more.
Check otherwise "non-sexy" scenes and see if there is opportunity to heighten your hero and heroine's awareness of each other.
Sexual tension builds. Utilize the opportunities for it to build in your story.
Condom are sexy.
Romance novels now include responsible, safe sex. Have fun writing condoms into your sizzling scenes.
Exquisitely craft your sexual tension scenes. Your characters, and your readers, will thank you.
Happy Writing!

Writing Humor in Fiction
by Sarah Kades
September 4, 2012
Last month
(Aug 2012)
When Words Collide
in Calgary, Canada, one of the panels I was on was
Humor in Fiction
(available in podcast)
It is a great topic. Here are a few of my thoughts on it.
I love to smile, chuckle or laugh out loud when I am reading a story or writing it. When done well, humor in fiction is perfection. It is an incredible writing tool and essential to me as a reader and writer.
Most people in the world respond positively to laughter. It is fun to laugh, it
good. It brings joy and release. Humor also lightens us up. That's a good thing. We do too good a job of winding ourselves up to the point of snapping, breaking or erupting. Booo. Humor diffuses our self-sabotage and grounds us. Humor has a way of putting life in perspective and laughter is called the best medicine for a reason. Next time you feel like crap, laugh. Find something that makes you laugh in that happy, silly, SO FUNNY way. And then stop and take the time to enjoy it.
Now let's talk about how to use humor in your writing, how to use humor as a writing tool. I like to entertain readers not only with my story, but with my characters, too. It is important to me that my characters are fun, interesting, someone I would want to have a beer or coffee with or be stuck in an elevator with, like what
Sarah Duncan
wrote about in her blog*. Writing humor into your characters can give them depth and make them more real, more believable. Who do you like to hang out with? People who are fun and make you laugh? Write characters like that. Even if they are tasked with saving the world with a toothpick or have had so much trauma you can't imagine what they would laugh about, find something. Give your characters a sense of humor. Your reader will be attracted to them just like we are to people with a sense of humor in real life.
I include humor in emotionally- or action-charged scenes. This works for me as a writer and my readers in a few ways. It changes emotional gears for the reader, which is entertaining, but also creates an dynamic emotional roller coaster for when the other shoe falls. It gives readers a temporary respite from the adrenaline of the scene, so the action or conflict can jack them again later. The reader has a place to go emotionally, there is a change. For me, static emotion in a story does not hold my interest. I want the roller coaster. I want an emotionally dynamic story. Humor heightens the highs that enhance the lows, making them feel even lower. I want my readers to be emotionally exhausted and satisfied after reading my books because they have
what my characters went through.
Humor should enhance your story, not run roughshod over it. Following are a few flags to note:
Be aware of what is considered appropriate and good taste for your story and the humor you include. This will be relative to genre, author and your audience, but just be mindful of the type of humor you include and how you use it. It is a good thing to have humor that grosses out your audience and they love it and want more, but not so good if it inspires your readers to run screaming, appalled, never to buy your work again. Do you use humor to push the line a bit? That can be very cool or leave some readers queasy. Who is your audience? Who do you want your audience to be?
There is such a thing as too much of a good thing. There is a saturation point, a threshold of too many zingers where they start to detract from the story and/or they loose there punch. Remember that there is always that perfect word? Same goes for humor. Having beta readers can help identify when you have too much, or not enough.
Readers are smart. Write authentically. What do you think is funny? Write that. It will come out sounding real and authentic because it is. Yes, people have different senses of humor, but don't get stuck on that. If you think it is funny there will be others who do, too.
Remember, stay light. Laugh. And go write.

Tapping area experts for insight on workplace issues
Q: I work full-time at a company that just announced a new paid time off (PTO) policy. At my current level (two years), I get 23 days of PTO and six sick days. The company requires us to use paid time off for seven holidays a year, like Christmas. We've just been told the company has decided to honor Presidents Day and Good Friday, too. They're also reducing our sick days from six to four. When I was hired I took the job based on six holidays a year and my paid time off. Is it legal for them to unilaterally change my benefits?
A: Check your employee handbook. If it lays out specific benefits to which employees are entitled, courts may recognize that as an implied contract, unless there's some clearly worded caveat stating otherwise, said David Allen Larson, an employment and labor law professor at Hamline University in St. Paul. If your employer gave you an "offer" letter outlining your benefits when you were hired, you might be able to argue that any changes constitute a breach of contract.
But if you don't have a union contract that would prevent these types of unilateral changes, you'll have to put up with it. Taking an extreme example, your boss could fire you because he or she didn't like your shoe style and then hire you back at lower pay and with reduced benefits.
"Employers aren't legally required to give any vacation or any sick leave," Larson says. "So if they're not required to give them in the first place, then certainly they are going to have the ability to change them in the absence of some kind of contractual or statutory protection."

Comments, questions and tips
I like this recipe as not only is it tasty but also easy to make, not too much washing up and uses ingredients which I often have around. I didn't find the lentils took much longer than stated in the recipe.
It is very warming, ideal for these colder nights!
I have experimented with different sausages e.g. chorizo style which added some extra interest. I also often use a dash of sherry rather than wine, making up the difference with stock (normally I use chicken for extra depth).
Bread is essential for mopping up the yummy juices!
You need a lot more liquid to cook the lentils through. I had to throw in a lot of more stock and water before everything was cooked and that really ruined the colour, creating more of a murky purple colour rather than the rich red from the photo.
It didn't taste bad though but I probably wouldn't make it again.
Really nice, grilled the sausages and cut them up when adding them. Used green beans instead of peppers. Caramalised the onions and garlic using balsamic vinegar and brown sugar. Added a bit extra liquid too. Seasoned with salt and pepper... might try this again but vary ingrediants, perhaps add cherry tomatoes, use some herbs...
I agree with the above. Needed lots more stock and 2omins extra cooking time. I used 3 onions (one brown two red) and caramelised them first which I think must've added to the flavour as mine was delicious. Wish I'd read the comments first- I will try balsamic next time at the end of caramelising the onions.

Biologist Confirms Fisher Cat SightingMonday, March 18, 2013
She saw the small, dark brown creature again, and this time got a picture.
Laurie Borst captured digital images in mid-March of a narrow dark-bodied animal with a long, bushy tail walking through her yard in Sandy Hook. "I know my nature," she said. "This is a fisher cat."
Wildlife Biologist Paul Rego, with the Sessions Woods Wildlife Management Area (WMA), in Burlington, Connecticut looked at Ms Borst's photo via email and confirmed that the animal "is a fisher."

© Copyright 2015 Albany Herald
ALBANY, Ga. — A jury of 10 women and two men at about 2:30 p.m. Friday found Southeastern Farm Brokers owner Joseph W. Jordan guilty on one count conspiracy and three counts of bribing a bank officer.
Jordan stood emotionless as the verdicts, including a not guilty on the second of five counts, were read in U.S. District Court Judge Louis Sand's Albany courtroom.
While he is facing a possible 35 years in prison, Sands allowed Jordan to remain free on his own recognizance. Jordan must contact probation officers within 72 hours.
A sentence could also have five years supervised release after any time served. Jordan's fines could total $1 million or three times the amount of his bribes, court officials said.
After the four-day trial, sentencing could be scheduled within two months, stated a court official.
U.S. Attorney Michael Moore stated, "Especially during challenging economic times, we will not tolerate this kind of fraud. The financial system works when we all play by the rules and obey the laws."
Jordan operated outside the rules, according to the indictments. He was charged with attempting to bribe Larry Malone, chief lending officer at Southwest Georgia Farm Credit. The bribes amounted to more than $440,000 so that Jordan could secure more than $3.4 million in loans from Malone's organization.
According to Buddy Parker, Jordan's attorney, there will be an appeal of the verdict.
"As the judge said, this was a difficult and hard case," Parker said. "There was insufficient evidence to support the verdict and we will appeal."

Anyone who commits fraud of public funds should serve their time in pink underwear, in a tent, in the heat, performing labor. That's about all the comment, I can muster right now. I'm fixin' to go eat supper.
Abytaxpayer 3 years, 5 months ago
How about as part of his sentencing he has to attend a school assembly each week of his sentence and stand before the children in his jail clothes and proclaim" I am what you become when you listen to your peers when they say go ahead take it no one will miss it, cause it is only a little amount you are stealing. Yes kids lying, cheating and stealing is how you get to be where I am standing."

Taxpayer, it ought to be Deerfield because his child went there and he runs with that crowd.
Cartman 3 years, 5 months ago
Let's get predictions in and see who comes closest. My guess is 8 1/2 years to serve.
DoctorDorite 3 years, 5 months ago
Just like the auctioneer from a nearby town that got caught bribing Fla. State officials with payments he'll never see a jail cell but if by chance he does it'll be at a federal country club type prison planting flowers or mowing the golf greens for 6 months. Justice American style !
Sister_Ruby 3 years, 5 months ago
to tccvc........make sure Jordan doesn't sell his Mercedes to a relative for One Dollar prior to heading to the Big House. I have no other asinie comment except that ALL lawbreakers should pay the appropriate penalty regardless of race, creed, religion, sexual orientation, or level of stupidity.
Question: would all persons of all races have gotten the same penalty from a local jury? Just aking.

Wiley Jordan is a typical "High Roller" he wants and flaunts his money which as it turns out to be is really the banks and lending institutions money. He "Lived" in the upper crust of Albany's so called finest if there is such at class here. More and more we find the real story. Wiley could always been seem in the "in crowd" of local business people buying drinks at Henry's. Turns out though he financed all those drinks and had to bribe people just to qualify for the loans. He was definetly in the "in crowd" at DWS. Personal friend witht he highest of highest in the DWS Social Circle. I suspect he was also one of the major contributors each yeat at DWS. At DWS your social status and ranking is determined by how much you give there. He always had free access to the headmaster's office. DWS actually pubishes a ranking for all the parents and others from DWS based on how much you donate each year. Basically if you are struggling to send your kids there and can give only a few extra hundred dollars each year you get listed in the public donation list. I suspect Wiley was in the upper crust of the list since he it is a social ranking class system at DWS. IF you really give a lot you can end up at in the highest status class listed with Nancy Lopez and a few others. Anyway the point is Wiley participated in all the local social networks to further his clout. Turns out though he had to borrow money to keep up with the "Jones". Sad but just another chapter in the sad story of why Albany is sinking.

If the loans were called in Albany and Dougherty County, I guess we would not have a home in a gated community, a condo on the beach at P.C. and a river front home on Lake Blackshear. You figure out who I am referring to.

Most of the people I know who are affiliated with Deerfield think they are somebody or want to be somebody. The school is an excellent learning facility, but the majority of the people affiliated (parents etc.) are arrogant, hateful and snooty. They are missing so many of God's blessings of not permitting themselves to associate with the little biddie's of the world. Self-centeredness and arrogance are huge negatives in God's Word. They would run over you before they would speak to you.

RICHMOND, Ky. (WKYT) - Police say a man in a stolen car crashed while trying to get away from them.
It happened on Lexington Road in Richmond at the bridge over I-75.
Police say they spotted the stolen car downtown and began following the driver.
However, things soon turned tricky for police and another driver.
"They lost him a couple of times. He was quite a bit ahead of them, then he went in the left lane by the interstate and hit a truck coming off the off ramp," said Major Steve Gregg with Richmond Police.
The driver of the stolen car was taken to UK Hospital. His condition is not known. No one in the truck was injured.
Police say the same man is also a suspect in a shoplifting investigation at the Richmond WalMart.
They're also looking for the two people they say he dropped off in downtown Richmond before the crash.

A few days ago, I accidentally deleted a voice mail on my messaging system at work. The # key (play) and 9 key (delete) are close together on my keypad. Since I take pride in returning phone calls, it's bugging me to have this loose end flapping out there. Plus, it's likely the caller is frustrated, too (at me).
This reminds me of the many times I've heard job searchers say, "I called Mr. Smith, but he never called me back. He must not be interested."
Maybe ... or maybe Mr. Smith simply lost the searcher's number. Who knows? ...

Election results and recent polling show Vancouver does not support light rail
Voters in the Clark County area are soundly rejecting (56.3%) a proposal to fund light rail across a new Columbia River Crossing (CRC) on I-5. The measure, Proposition 1, was placed on the ballot by the Clark County Area Transit Authority, C-TRAN. Yet, even though this is the second time voters have rejected light rail in Clark County, local officials have made it clear they want to move ahead with extending light rail from Portland to Vancouver.
Recent polling, however, shows voters do not support light rail across the CRC and 57% oppose ANY taxes or fees to pay for it. 87% of voters also strongly believe they should have the chance to vote on the project.
Conducted in October, Washington Policy Center's poll found the following:
Which do you think is the most cost-effective public transit between Vancouver and Portland?
- buses 45%
- a light rail train 34%
- other 4%
- don't know 17%
Do you support or oppose raising the sales tax for a new light rail system from Vancouver to Portland? IF SUPPORT/OPPOSE: Is that strongly support/oppose or somewhat support/oppose?
- strongly support 10%
- somewhat support 18%
- Total support 28%
- don't know 6%
- Total oppose 66%
- somewhat oppose 16%
- strongly oppose 50%
Do you support or oppose any type of tax or fee to pay for light rail from Vancouver to Portland? IF SUPPORT/OPPOSE: Is that strongly support/oppose or somewhat support/oppose?
- strongly support 12%
- somewhat support 22%
- Total support 34%
- don't know 8%
- Total oppose 57%
- somewhat oppose 13%
- strongly oppose 45%
Should taxpayers in Washington State have the opportunity to vote on whether to extend Portland's light rail system to Vancouver, or not?
- yes, should have the opportunity to vote 87%
- don't know 4%
- not, should not have the opportunity to vote 9%
Voters have made it crystal clear they don't want light rail in the Clark County area. Voters are promoting anti-rail candidates to public offices and twice rejected light rail proposals at the ballot. Instead of pushing billion-dollar rail schemes that the public does not want, officials should focus on improving transit that actually moves the most people for the least cost.
I'll be speaking about this issue at a Small Business Forum hosted by Washington Policy Center and the Camas-Washougal Chamber of Commerce on November 15. The lunch event will take place at the Camas Meadows Golf Club from noon – 1:30pm.

Albany Meet Info
Published by
Hey everyone!
So I apparently was thinking incorrectly when I thought the meet was going to be held at West Albany High School this Saturday, May 5. I have not yet received a schedule for the meet, but as soon as I see one, I will make copies and email the schedule out to all of you. It will begin at 10:00am. So if we could try to be there by 9:30am, that would be great. Also, do not forgot about the extra week and Lebanon track meet on May 14th. I have not yet heard responses from everyone about whether we are all interested in the extra week of practice and the extra meet. We will be conducting regular practices next week on Tuesday and Thursday, but they will only run from 6:30pm to 7:30pm. I will be at the track everyday next week from 6:30pm to 7:30pm doing my own running practices, so if anyone would like to join me on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday next week, for a couple of long runs and speed work I would be willing to work with those who are there. Lets have an awesome meet this week, and remember there is no practice tomorrow night! Thank you all!
Coach Ben

A mall in Augusta, Georgia turned into a driving course for a man who drove his SUV straight through the building's glass doors.
The incident, which was captured on surveillance, shows the driver ramming his vehicle into the mall's entrance and then casually taking a drive around several stores, as well as the food court.
Security guards are also seen on the video trying to stop the driver, but fail in their attempts. The mall is empty since the incident occurred after hours.
Authorities have identified the driver as 47-year old Stephen Lowe. Investigators said Lowe smashed his vehicle into the building following an argument with his wife.

April housing starts drop 16.5 percent, building permits increase 14.3 percent
Posted By Amanda Bayhi On May 17, 2013 @ 9:23 am In Aggbeat Online,News | No Comments
[1]Following a month of high housing starts, the start of home construction fell in April, while an increase in building permits suggests continued recovery, according to our sister site, Equipment World [2].
Housing starts dropped 16.5 percent from March's revised rate of 1.02 million to a seasonally adjusted rate of 853,000 in April. Despite the decrease month-over-month, the start of home construction is still 13.3 percent higher than the rate of 754,000 in April 2012.
In April 2013, multi-family starts fell 37 percent from March to an annual rate of 234,000, and single-family housing starts decreased by 2.1 percent from March to an annual rate of 610,000.
However, the increased number of building permits issued suggests the housing recovery is still in full swing. In April, building permits were issued at an annual rate of 1.02 million– up 14.3 percent from March and 35.8 percent from April 2012. It is also the highest rate in which building permits have been issued since June 2008.
Housing completions dropped 14.3 percent from March to an annual rate of 689,000 in April, but are still 3.3 percent higher than the April 2012 rate.

"So how big should the pattern be?" he asked, displaying a brow furrowed by concern and concentration.
"How big do you want it to be?" I asked, endeavouring to get some parameters for my answer.
"I suppose so it can be seen, but not seen too much," he replied, helping only a little.
"So a little above the average, but not loud?" I ventured.
"That sounds about right, yes," he said, brow suddenly as flat as a lake on a breathless day. "How big would that be?"
"No idea."
The scale of checks, stripes and other patterns are hard to put one's finger on. They are rarely quoted in terms of inches or centimetres, unlike the calculations of weight in ounces and grams, or the fineness of fibres in terms of super numbers and microns. It's far more subjective.
Fortunately, the vast majority of cloth books out there hover around an average. The subjective decisions of countless individuals, all making their consumption preferences known through demand for cloth – or lack of it – have led to industry standards.
Most glen checks intended for suits, for example, are around the same size, say an inch or so across the central square. Those for odd jackets are often larger, but in suits they are outliers. Similarly with windowpane checks – normally a couple of inches across and a little more in height.
As to stripes, they fall fairly clearly into two camps. Either they are broad stripes, half and inch or more apart, or they are fine stripes, no more than a millimetre or two apart. Either you want the suit to obviously be striped, or you don't. That's the conclusion weavers have made about their target market. There's not many of you in between.
Of course there are bold stripes and faint stripes, chalk stripes and bead stripes, even double stripes and triple stripes. But all of these will be outnumbered by the options offered to a man in a simple broad or fine. So, my advice to the friend mentioned in dialogue above, is, look through the bunch and work out what density of pattern is most frequent. That is the normal suit. Then find something a touch broader, stronger or chalkier, if the slightly unusual is what you're after.
(All this assumes, obviously, that you have a nice normal H Lesser & Sons or Hunt & Winterbotham bunch in your hands. If it's a special order evening bunch from Scabal, the guidance may not apply.)
Again broadly speaking (it is so much more fun to do so), the same thinking is useful if buying one's first suit off the peg. Go into a Ralph Lauren, Hackett or J Press store and the average pattern will probably be the most common, the safest, the most usually seen. Use that as your base point and work up.

HOLLAND'S MAGAZINE. Holland's Magazine was issued under the name Street's Weekly from 1876 through 1903, volumes 1 through 23. With volume 24, in 1905, the publication became a monthly magazine put out by Texas Farm and Ranch Publishing Company in Dallas, with Franklin P. Holland as president and general manager and Walter B. Whitman as editor. The contents usually included a number of fiction and nonfiction articles, often contributed by well-known writers; standard features, such as recipes and gardening notes; and vigorous editorials. By 1927 members of the Holland family occupied the top three positions: Frank P. Holland, Sr. (and later his wife), president; Frank P. Holland, Jr., vice president and advertising director; and R. V. Holland, secretary-treasurer. In December 1944 Mrs. Gussie Holland Lancaster became president. She was succeeded in May 1945 by Brownlee O. Curry, who took the title of chairman of the board in August 1946. By September 1952 publishing of the periodical was taken over by Holland's Magazine Company. The magazine, which had been named Holland's: The Magazine of the South beginning with volume 48, printed the last issue, volume 72, in December 1953, ending a seventy-seven-year existence.

Haven't you had all you can stand about personality disorders?
Seems that far too many things are labeled a "disorder" these days…like:
Attention Deficit Disorder – used to be called boredom or boyhood.
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder – for the 200th time, I don't have OCD.
Narcissistic Disorder – most victims are pretty women and gay men.
Paranoid Disorder – sometimes paranoia is true and they ARE out to get you.
Antisocial Disorder – used to be called "I don't like you…or anybody else."
Dictionary defines a "disorder" as: An ailment that affects the function of mind or body…then defines "ailment" as a disorder. Thanks a lot.
Big Pharma likes disorders, because they can invent a drug that masks the symptoms. Unfortunately, it also creates a bunch more symptoms which will also need a drug. Cha-Ching!
I have invented some disorders that explain how I act. Maybe I can get a disability check from somebody. Or some mind-altering drugs.
Idiot Tolerance Disorder – When I am trapped in a conversation with an idiot…which happens with startling regularity…I start to hear my own pulse in my ears and I have the overwhelming desire to choke the life out of the moron who is droning on about a subject for which he has only the knowledge he has learned from TV. My palliative is to smile and nod, and excuse myself to go to the bathroom.
Blue Agave Tequila Disorder – this only occurs when ingest Tarantula Tequila. Eventually the room will spin and I will giggle like a little girl. This disorder invariably leads to "too damned many stairs in this house" Disorder.
Big Leather Chair Disorder – sitting in my big leather chair with my feet up on the hassock invariably leads to a nap of variable duration. This Disorder is frequently triggered by…
Black and White Movie Disorder – the nearly irresistible compulsion to take a nap while the Redhead enjoys a movie that was shot in the 1930s.
Game of Thrones Disorder – viewing all the sex scenes in this HBO series causes my pants to swell and my palms to sweat…or maybe it's the other way around.
Chocolate Ingestion Disorder – The most addictive of the Disorders. Like crack cocaine, you are always looking for your next fix. Quality is not as important as quantity. No complaints here, and resistance is futile.
Social Media Disorder – The gigantic time vacuum cleaner that can easily waste hours of your day looking at kittens or what your friends had for lunch…or what your kittens had for lunch.
Big Greasy Spicy Meal Disorder – ingestion of copious amounts of spicy food invariably lead to repeated interactions with a certain plumbing fixture.
Mercedes on Interstate Disorder – caused whenever my E300 gets onto an Interstate highway. I immediately start driving 85-90 mph, which causes me a premature arrival at my destination.
I'll bet you share some of these disorders. But if you think about it, some of your own personal personality disorders are probably more amusing than mine.
Bottom line is that we are ALL a little twisted, but that twist is what makes you YOU. Celebrate your twist.

During an interview with the British singer, Robbie Williams commented on the leak of controversial videos of young celebrities including Justin Bieber and members of boyband One Direction. Robbie suggested that the young pop stars, including Justin, who caused controversy last week after videos of him using the word with "N" were released, stop making home videos. In the opinion of the singer 40 years, as it will be difficult for these young stars do not make mistakes, but the secret that he used throughout his career, he was always sure to "not get caught". Check out the advice of Williams:
"I think they should stop being caught! Whatever it is, but just do not get caught. I was not caught until I had at least 22 or 23 years maybe!"

COLLIERVILLE, Tenn. (WVLT) -- The Tennessee basketball program received an early Christmas present Thursday night: Jarnell Stokes.
Stokes, a 6'8" power forward ranked by Rivals as the 11th best player in his class, announced that he will attend Tennessee.
The Memphis native picked the Vols over the likes of Memphis, Florida, Arkansas, Kentucky, and UConn.
Stokes plans on enrolling at Tennessee in January. He can begin his collegiate career once he is cleared by the NCAA.
The 5-star prospect already graduated from Southwind High School.
Stokes isn't playing high school basketball this season because the TSSAA ruled him athletically ineligible for violating transfer rules.

Salt Lake County and Ballet West prep for Capitol Theatre renovation and construction
Salt Lake County and Ballet West have trumpeted the imminent renovation of Capitol Theatre and construction of the new Jessie Eccles Quinney Center for Dance ever since announcing those plans in October 2010.
Now, 32 months after that announcement, the county and its partner dance company held an open house on Wednesday at Salt Lake City's downtown Capitol Theatre to showcase those plans once more.
Once the curtain closes on the upcoming touring Broadway musical "Jersey Boys," playing June 4-16 at the theater, construction and renovation will commence June 28.
For Salt Lake City's fans of ballet, opera and other assorted performing arts, that means more comfortable seating with better sightlines, a raised stage and updated heating and air conditioning. With the new Center for Dance adjoining the theater's west wall, it also means a lobby extended into the foyer, new flooring, ticket and concession stands and, most important for intermission, 30 new toilets. The new construction and renovation overhaul give Ballet West an even bigger imprint on a facility it's long called home, but with even more cohesion, given extra room that lets the dance company house its academy on site, rather than dispersed throughout the Salt Lake Valley.
"[Capitol Theatre] is just as much home as it's always been, but with these changes it will become even more conducive to larger audiences for ballet, the opera and anyone else using it," said Ballet West artistic director Adam Sklute, present as Wednesday's open house.
The comprehensive renovation and new construction should be complete by Dec. 1, when Ballet West opens its annual performance of "The Nutcracker."
The theater facility update has played second fiddle to plans for the larger, more expensive and more controversial Utah Performing Arts Center. The 2,500-seat, $116 million project will be just around the corner on Main Street. Once complete, the new center and the updated Capitol Theatre promise to remake and rebalance the city's entertainment offerings.
The $32 million Capitol Theatre upgrade suffered a setback last fall when it was announced that Ballet West and Salt Lake County hit a snag in securing millions in federal "new market tax credits" needed to fill the gap between money provided by the county, Ballet West and Salt Lake City. Thanks to congressional approval in the 2013 budget, those credits are now back "in the queue," said Cami Munk, communications manager for Salt Lake County Center for the Arts.
Salt Lake County Mayor Ben McAdams said the joint upgrade and construction project between Ballet West and the county is evidence of a Salt Lake City population that's maturing and growing along with the arts. "Capitol Theatre will always be a centerpiece of arts performance in Salt Lake County," he said.
Salt Lake County purchased the lot for construction of the new Jessie Eccles Quinney Center for Dance for $2.4 million and is funding $8 million of the construction and renovation costs. Ballet West will be providing $10.5 million, Salt Lake City $2 million, with the remaining cost provided by the federal tax credits.
Sklute said Ballet West will move its administrative offices from Capitol Theatre during renovation and construction, but said the company has not decided where.

More Controllers, Better Training, Adequate Funding Are Musts! - (6/12/1997)
More controllers, better training, adequate funding are musts!
WASHINGTON, D.C. - The leading advocate for air traffic controllers today offered solutions to a 3,000 controller shortage nationwide, inadequate training of new hires and lack of funding before a U.S. Senate subcommittee.
"Aviation safety is coming at the expense of the nation's air traffic controllers," National Air Traffic Controllers Association President Barry Krasner said today. "I wish this were the first time we've been before the U.S. Congress, administration and FAA pointing out the air traffic control system is stretched to the limit."
The Senate hearing was prompted by the recent spotlight on New York staffing problems, where facilities have had a dangerously low number of air traffic controllers. However, the Federal Aviation Administration now agrees it will increase the number of controllers to 294 by October 1997 and 339 by October 1998. "This is a sign of progress," Krasner told the subcommittee, adding, "But the real work ahead lies in training of new hires and retention of the existing work force. Remember, New York is only one example of a coast-to-coast staffing crisis in air traffic control. If we can find solutions to New York, we can offer them to other air traffic facilities."
NATCA solutions proposed for New York include a combination of local hire and apprentice programs. Instead of recruiting employees from outside the area whose primary goal is relocation, the FAA could accept trainees from New York who want to remain. "If this policy works in San Juan, it will work in New York and in other high cost, chronically understaffed areas," Krasner said.
New recruits would first work on data control positions, where they would assist controllers by writing strips about the flight progress one each aircraft, provide clearance delivery or input data into the computer about airplanes' positions, altitude changes and other information. "By the time they complete an apprenticeship, they will understand the workplace, the pace and demands. This will help ensure successful completion of training to a full performance level in an environment now claiming a minimum failure rate of 20 percent," Krasner said.
"Controllers are already stretched to maximum productivity and workloads. Consider how fewer controllers today handle 36 percent more aircraft than in 1981. They push the limits every day, handling millions of flights daily. Yet, the number of controllers lags far behind the growth in air traffic volume. Incredibly, we run the safest, most comprehensive air traffic system in the world," Krasner said.
Congress must authorize and actually provide funds for additional controllers, training and equipment, NATCA told the Senate
bcommittee on Transportation Appropriations. "The FAA can write numbers in the staffing line item all day - but until Congress approves funding, it can't happen," Kranser said.
Copies of the full testimony are available from NATCA upon request.

Updated animal services program debuts
July 6, 2010
By Warren Kagarise
The way King County, Issaquah and 26 other cities handle animal control, sheltering and pet licensing services changed last week.
The updated plan took effect July 1, as 27 cities and the county signed a cost-sharing agreement to provide animal services.
Officials hope the changes help the county move beyond a troubled, unprofitable era in animal services. Problems with King County Animal Care and Control leadership, organization and operations led to public outcry and legal challenges, prompting the King County Council to direct County Executive Dow Constantine to make changes late last year.
The two-and-a-half-year agreement divides King County into four animal control districts, each staffed by at least one animal control officer. Even the name — King County Animal Care and Control — changed to Regional Animal Services of King County.
The agency handles responses to complaints about vicious animals, animal-cruelty investigations and pickups of stray animals.
The updated agreement calls for similar services, but puts more emphasis on pet licensing to help fund the agency. The county estimates pet licenses can raise most of the $2.5 million needed to pay for the bulk of the program.
Issaquah City Council members agreed last month to join the regional plan.
The city generated almost $65,000 in pet-licensing fees last year — dollars used to pay for animal services in Issaquah. Mayor Ava Frisinger and city Parks & Recreation Director Anne McGill said the city could opt to change the contract in order to increase enforcement patrols, although the county has yet to provide a cost estimate to the city.
The city could join the enhanced agreement alongside Sammamish and Snoqualmie in order to share increased services and bring down the cost.
In Issaquah, the added patrols could be used to enforce leash rules at Timberlake Park, the South Cove preserve where the city banned dogs last summer after numerous complaints about unruly animals.
McGill said the initial phase of any increased enforcement effort would include education for pet owners about city rules.
The changes enacted last week represented the latest step in a monthslong effort to remake the county animal services agency.
Officials closed a county animal shelter in Bellevue last month. The larger shelter in Kent will remain open. The county estimates the Kent shelter will serve about 8,000 homeless and lost animals this year.
The county has also offered a grace period to owners of unlicensed pets in order to boost the number of residents purchasing licenses.
Constantine said the changes should make for a better, less expensive animal services agency. The mayors of Mercer Island, Redmond, Shoreline and Lake Forest Park joined the executive for a ceremonial contract signing July 1.
"Regional cooperation has been the key to redesigning King County's animal care and control system," Constantine said in a news release. "Each of the 27 partners in this effort has contributed to shaping the final product, and we look forward to working toward better care at lower cost over the two and a half years of the city contracts."
County offers licensing grace period
Owners of unlicensed pets can license their animals without facing a fine until Oct. 1, as part of the updated animal control plan enacted last week.
King County, Issaquah and 26 other cities signed on to the two-and-a-half-year agreement last month. The pact includes a 90-day amnesty period for owners of unlicensed pets to purchase a license without facing a fine.
A no-tolerance policy for unlicensed pets goes into effect Oct. 2. Outlaw owners face $125 fines for unlicensed spayed or neutered pets, and up to $250 for unaltered animals.
Purchase licenses at more than 100 locations across the county, including Issaquah City Hall, 130 E. Sunset Way, veterinary hospitals and QFC grocery stores. Find the complete list here.
License fees for spayed and neutered pets remain unchanged at $30. Owners of unaltered pets face a $60 fee, down from $90. Every dog and cat older than eight weeks in unincorporated King County, Issaquah and other contracting cities must be licensed.
Seniors and people with disabilities can receive discounts. So can owners of pets up to six months old.
The county offers benefits to owners of licensed pets. If county officers find a lost pet, the agency attempts to skip the shelter and deliver the pet home. The shelter also holds licensed pets longer as strays.

Basil Jelly Recipe
We grow lots of basil for our local farmers market, and this is a unique way to use it. The jelly is really good with cream cheese as an appetizer. I also like to combine a jar with 1 cup of barbecue sauce and simmer mini meatballs or cocktail wieners in the mixture. -Sue Gronholz, Beaver Dam, Wisconsin
- 4 cups water
- 2 cups firmly packed fresh basil leaves, finely chopped
- 1 package (1-3/4 ounces) powdered fruit pectin
- 3 drops green food coloring, optional
- 5 cups sugar
- 1. In a large saucepan, bring water and basil to a boil. Remove from heat; cover and let stand 10 minutes. Strain and discard basil. Return 3-2/3 cups liquid to the pan. Stir in pectin and, if desired, food coloring. Return to a rolling boil over high heat. Stir in sugar. Boil 1 minute, stirring constantly. Remove from heat; skim off foam.
- 2. Ladle hot liquid into hot half-pint jars, leaving 1/4-in. headspace. Wipe rims. Center lids on jars; screw on bands until fingertip tight.
- 3. Place jars into canner with simmering water, ensuring that they are completely covered with water. Bring to a boil; process for 15 minutes. Remove jars and cool. Yield: 6 half-pints.

No shoulder pads at Sunday morning practice
The Cowboys have changed their practice schedule today. There are no special teams drills, so they are not kicking it off until 9:20.
And like they did the other day, they will just be in helmets and jerseys for the morning workout as they go through the second of back-to-back two-a-days. They will be in shoulder pads in the afternoon.
No word on whether the vets are off this morning like they were earlier in camp because we haven't seen any of them on the field yet.

BREAKING: Marvin Manzo, Who Escaped from Musick Jail a Week Ago, is Recaptured
Categories: Breaking News, Crime-iny
Manzo, whose rap sheet includes grand theft, attempted grand theft and resisting arrest, was originally taken into custody Nov. 12 for a probation violation, which earned him a sentence of 180 days at Musick and three years probation.
Jailers first noticed him missing during a routine inmate head count on Dec. 20. Officials believed he escaped around 5 p.m., leaving behind his jail garb and slightly injuring his leg climbing over razor wire.
Sheriff's investigators received information indicating Manzo would be at the intersection of Euclid Street and La Palma Avenue in Anaheim today, according to a statement from the department. Surveillance was set up, Manzo was seen walking toward the intersection, and he was confronted and arrested without incidents, according to deputies.
