- converting attic to master suite
converting attic to master suite
I will say this - The BEST approach is to hire an Architect. They have answers to ALL the question. You really want the Builder to do the, well ..., the building work; NOT the design work. Architects do designing and Builders build. It's money well spent! Oh, if you only deal w/a Builder on this, you will find that Change Orders cost a LOT! The Builder will simply 'write down' what you want but as time goes on, you may change your mind on 'things'. This is where an Architect's expertise is money well spent. They spend a LOT of time 'up front' to be sure that what you want is 'doable', workable, affordable, and little-likely to change.
Go for it! My best to ya and hope this helps.

PS: A neighbor of ours is having a 20' x 12' addition put on a Colonial home. It's being built right next to the living room and is only 1 story high. It will have a cathedral ceiling w/a skylight and natural gas stove and bow window. The structure is 'sound'. Cost: $26,000. And no roof is being razed or raised! Also, this will probably cause you to increase the size of your HVAC System and Electrical System. Again, hire that Architect!!!

Face it, guys, this week's news has been exhausting. Time to think of other things:
Glass Distinctions: Which Eyewear Frames Suit Your Personal Style?
You don't want the same boring frames. But how much of a style risk can you live with every single day?
Eyewear can define who you are and who you want to be perhaps more than anything else a man owns. "You could have a great pair of shoes or a great suit, but people are first connecting with your face, so finding the right pair of glasses is crucial," said designer Garrett Leight, who has followed in the footsteps of his father Larry Leight, founder of 28-year-old Oliver Peoples, by creating his own eponymous eyewear company which specializes in frames inspired by classics from the literary and film worlds.
With women, traditionally it's been different, with the gin-soaked Anita Loos creating a mantra for generations with "Men don't make passes at girls who wear glasses."
Until you find the guy who does:

"Enclothed cognition"? That's what psychologists call the premise that the clothes you wear directly affect how you think and what you do.
It turns out the study was paid for by Lululemon, which has managed a lot of free publicity because of some see-through pants, and because the CEO managed to tell the truth – that their clothes are not for the overweight:
Psychology of Lululemon: How Fashion Affects Fitness
Does expensive athletic wear actually incline us to work out? "Enclothed cognition" proposes that the clothes you wear directly affect how we think and what we do.
"It's all about the symbolic meaning that you associate with a particular item of clothing," Adam said. And he thinks the study's results can be applied to many more fields, including activewear and fitness. "I think it would make sense that when you wear athletic clothing, you become more active and more likely to go to the gym and work out."
Especially if you have spent $300+ on an outfit you could get for under $40 at Old Navy.
Let's compare:
En Route Jacket $148.00
Hustle & Bustle Tank $58.00
Astro Pant (Tall) *Full-On Luon $98.00
Total: $304.00
Old Navy:
Micro-Performance Fleece Jacket $10.00
Active by Old Navy Compression Tank $14.00
Fold-Over Yoga Pants $14.00
Total: $38.00
Yes, the prices above are as of today, and you can get almost ten Old Navy outfits for the price of one Lululemon.
"But Fausta," you'll say, "Lululemon's yoga and running gear are designed for sweaty workouts (Full-On Luon fabric is sweat wicking, four-way stretch and breathable)! Old Navy's isn't!"
Ask yourself how many times a week/month/year you run outdoors long enough to break a sweat: that's when you need the high-performance materials. If you work out indoors, you'll do fine with Old Navy. At the end of your sweaty workout, you're done, and you'll be showering and changing anyway.
Unless, of course, you have to impress yourself and everybody else with the brand name (be it Lululemon, Patagonia, Athleta, or whatever), in which case, by all means, do. It all has to do with enclothed cognition.
However, keep one thing in mind: I don't weigh myself, and I keep to a low-carb diet because I must, so the way I keep track of my weight is by seeing whether my non-stretchy clothes are getting tight. Once you get into the habit of wearing stretchy clothes all day, clothes that "give" (particularly around the waist), you lose track of that.
Which brings me to the question:
If you spend $300 on an outfit, would you be wearing it all day, and skipping the gym because breaking a sweat would mean changing into something less stylish? Or do you really get the activewear for working out?
Only you can answer that.
Related: Althouse goes Heisenberg and asks,
What I think would be fun to talk about is articles of clothing that you have used to alter your perceptions. And have you rejected items of clothing that you thought would skew your perceptions in ways you didn't like? Remember to exclude the idea of how others perceive you and how their response to you will affect you. It's just you. You and that item of clothing.
For a snowy day,
#snowday Cabin-fever workout: 5 mins of stairs, 15 crunches, 5 mins balance exercises, 5 mins dumbells, 5 min stretch. Housework next!

Compare and contrast: Retailers pay millions of dollars to leave Argentina, while they're descending on Mexico
Spurred by Relaxation of Tariffs on Clothing, Youth-Oriented Stores Head South, among them H&M, Zara, and Gap, all aimed at the younger consumer (I do shop at Zara for its classic, yet updated, style)
Encouraging the retail newcomers is the relaxation of steep tariffs on imported clothing. For more than a decade, Mexico applied antidumping duties as high as 533% on Chinese-made apparel to bolster its domestic garment industry. But in December 2011, the country eliminated the last of those transitional duties on Chinese clothing, lowering that barrier to entry. Currently the top tariff is a more palatable 25%.
"Because Mexico is a huge aspirational market, the removal of import tariffs for apparel may well be the single most-important retail event in the country in the past few years," says a report by analysts at Credit Suisse, CSGN.VX -3.34% which estimates that clothing in Mexico was previously at least 50% more expensive than clothing in the U.S.
It's all part of Mexico's market-friendly policy by decreasing trade barriers.

To people who have not had the pleasure of being overwhelmed to the point of breaking… consider yourself lucky. Very lucky. It was and is one of the most difficult time periods of my life. It's a burden I'm still fighting to work through day by day. A good allusion might be to Atlas and holding up the world, because that is 100% what that shit feels like.
But let's Tarantino this a second and go back to the beginning. What happened? Well, when you are you're own boss, employee, client AND worst critic… lot's of things can go wrong. You set deadlines for yourself, you don't meet them because of reasons X, Y, Z and suddenly there's ten-times the pressure you already had. It's exponential. Because you're looking from within and without and basically having a conversation with yourself on your own failings. It's kind of like this:
Boss: "Hey me, you didn't meet that deadline."
Employee: "Yeah, I know, boss. Shit just came up. Not much I could do. I will work double-time to get that going."
Critic: "You suck."
Employee: "Shut up, Critic. I got this."
Client: "Um… excuse me, but when am I going to get this product delivered?"
Boss: "ASAP, sir. We have are best on it."
Critic: "If by best you mean the absolute worst… then yeah, you do."
Boss: "He's right, you know… you got to bust some serious ass and prove you aren't full of fail, son."
Employee: "Sigh, yes sir. I'll get right on it."
Client: "So… when am I getting it again?"
Boss & Employee: "Soon."
Critic: "Never… he sucks."
Employee: "Fuck my life."
Now imagine having that conversation internally ALL THE FUCKING TIME. I'm not talking once in a while, or when you hit a block or a dry spell. I mean 24/7, 365 days a year. You're working, you're living, you're trying to relax… doesn't matter. That spectre is just haunting the back of your mind with that freaking recorder from Home Alone 2 and he's laughing maniacally as he keeps clicking play over and over and over and over.
And you know it's bullshit. It's just you're mind. What boss is there? What timeline? If you're getting paid for what you're doing by SOMEONE… then you got something to worry over. But you're WORKING. There's a difference. When you are doing what I do, which is just amateur design and work, it's more a creative outlet with the pipe dream of someone going, "Hey… that's pretty bad-ass." You aren't in that situation of you HAVE TO GET THIS DONE OR YOU'RE FIRED!
But that's what it feels like. Only you're being fired from your personal life. That's what happened to me.
Image courtesy of stockimages at FreeDigitalPhotos.net
To the few people and friends who have read my blog from the times of yore… I do a lot of different creative projects. And quite frankly, adding the blog to that overwhelmed me. I was trying to maintain a ridiculous schedule between my life, my work, my creative pursuits, my need to have decompression time and the blog. It just was too much. I started missing my own pre-set deadlines for having things done or having certain projects to a certain point. And every time I missed one, I was beating myself up. And then it got added onto the stack of holy fuck that I already had. Eventually, I shut down. And I mean completely.
I haven't worked on ANY of my games or worlds in over a year. I totally abandoned everything: my writing, my music, my blog, my design. All of it, Kevin… all of it. The mania side of my bi-polar needed an outlet though, and that became my obsession into the tabletop miniature war game that is Warmachines and Hordes.
The upside to this, is that it's a wonderful hobby for me, and one I can move at a snails pace and not really feel like I've lost much. It was definitely what I needed. But I started suffering from another problem after several months… It wasn't challenging me.

Wait, what? Yeah, I know… I just complained about how overwhelmed I felt only to immediately commenting about the EXACT OPPOSITE. Yeah, welcome to being bi-polar and the concept of living life in extremes.
I was missing a large part of my life because I was blocking so much of it out. I was focused on only a few things… my wife, my work and Warmahordes (as the two games are called typically). It was peaceful. But it was too peaceful. I got lazy… REALLY lazy. It was so easy to just say, "I don't need to go back to my writing, I'll just put together some more miniatures and maybe paint, maybe not. No dramas." Worse part was that it took me a long while to realize I'd swung so far to the other extreme. I was now unmotivated and indifferent.
So here we are, over a year later, and I'm trying to bring the extremes into balance. We'll see how this goes. But first, I'd thought I'd share some thoughts and steps I've been doing to try to find that balance, in case anyone else ever gets into this kind of situation:
Being Overwhelmed
1) STOP EVERYTHING. Seriously. I don't mean quit your job and ignore your spouse. I mean set down that massive lists of projects for a day, take a step back, and BREATHE. I can't tell you just how important taking just a DAY to focus on the minor details of your life and letting some of the more major ones just lie for a bit. Now obviously some things you can't do this with. You can't just stop taking care of your child, for instance. But you get the idea. Take a breather. It's OK TO NOT WORK EVERY HOUR OF THE DAY. More importantly it's OK TO DO NOTHING ONCE IN A WHILE. With the absolute hell of day to day life that most of us "normal" folk deal with, we deserve an hour here or there to just close our eyes and fucking veg out.
2) Prioritize, prioritize, PRIORITIZE. Let's face it, if you are HALF as chaotic, ADD or scatterbrained as I am, you have like twenty BAJILLION ideas and projects you want to work on. Write those fuckers down, organize them and more importantly PRIORITIZE THEM. Sometimes, its ok to put off writing that in-depth article about your gerbil's afternoon snack because you need to get some work done on that 18 tier birdhouse you've been meaning to build…
3) Reach an agreement with yourself. I mean it. You have fifteen voices in your head and all are saying something different? Have a fucking committee meeting and get that shit sorted. Accept the fact that it's ok to not have strict deadlines on EVERYTHING. Come to an agreement with yourself about number 1 and 2… Seriously. You have to be on the same page in your head and that sometimes is the absolute hardest thing in the world to do, but it's maybe the most important. Nevermind, it IS the most important.
Lacking Motivation
1) Choose one MAYBE two things to slowly start working back into. Like for me, it's this blog. That was my one thing. I'm still focused on my miniatures, but I'm adding the blog back in. And even though it's been a month since my last hiatus post, here I am. And I'm not stressing. But I feel great because I'm doing something MORE. But it's baby steps. Don't just dive back in with both feet. That pool could be covered in fire or something… I dunno. You have to view the landscape first. Check things out, toe in, and when you feel more comfortable, step into that fucker and start swimming again.
2) Set a goal. Not a deadline… a goal. There's a miracle waiting for you in the world of language called positivity. Words are the biggest weapon (and inspiration) we as a species possess. They can incite everything from rage to joy so powerful you can't help but cry. George Carlin once said that the quality of our thoughts and ideas can only be as good as the quality of our language. What true fucking statement. Here's how it works. Setting a deadline is making a hard point where you HAVE to be finished… or else. Else what? Doesn't matter. That's its connotation. It's negative language. You have until THIS DATE to get THIS DONE. On the contrasting side, setting a GOAL is positive language. You are setting a point you WANT to achieve. You might set a time for it, but it's not something that necessarily has any pressure to it. It's just… I want to have this done by end of the year. Goal. Positive. You WANT to do this, not you HAVE to. That's the power of positivity. That's the power of positive LANGUAGE and positive THOUGHT. Use that shit.
That's it for now. It feels good to write again. Let's do this again some time.

Review: "Ashfall" by Mike Mullin
Forget the Zombie Apocalypse. Have you ever wondered what's underneath Old Faithful and all the other springs and geysers of Yellowstone National Park? Have you ever wondered why there's so much pressure underground to push thousands of gallons of boiling water hundreds of feet in the air? Enter "Ashfall," a gripping debut novel by Mike Mullin. This survival story starts with 15 year old Alex as he is being left alone for the weekend so his parents and sister can visit family. Shortly after his family leaves, an earthquake hits and things go downhill from there. The slumbering super-volcano underneath Yellowstone National Park has erupted spraying millions of tons of ash into the air. The result is blizzard-like ash storms and deafening booms that send Alex into countless dangerous situations, pitting himself not only against nature, but also the horrors of humanity as people cling to the last bits of civilization. What's also great about this book is that its sequel, "Ashen Winter", can be picked up and taken home right after you read "Ashfall" (if you request the book soon enough!).
School Library Journal recommends this book for grades 8 and up.

Brady should use The Crane Technique, "Because if done right no can defend!"
Iron Mike, I always wondered that, because in Karate Kid II, the Crane Kick is a total joke. Does LaRusso not do it correctly? Hillary Swank obviously didn't either since she died in that boxing movie.
Great. I was gonna watch all of these movies for the first time this week, but not anymore.
Yes, cast is off, but apparently he will be wearing the "Tommy-Cam" during the game – which I understand is cumbersome. Gisele's idea.
How about the kid that swept Larusso's leg and started crying.
Two minutes later he is like YAAAAA1 ,Put him in a body bag!
Peace…Iron MIke

I must be dreaming . . .
Please take me away from me
Away into nothing
Dull my heart's pain
Silence my mind and dry my tears
I must be dreaming . . .
My sky is now dark
Everything crashed to the ground
No pieces left big enough to mend
Tiny shards only left to cut deeper
Always knew my reason for being
Fought those demons for so long
Come take me I beg of you
Curse the seen and hope to die
Steal my breath, take my soul
My joy now my pain, happiness now horror
I'm sorry . . . was it truly me?
When night falls on me I'm fallen
All I need is you . . .
My only everything
Please tell me I'm dreaming . . .
Longing to be lost inside you
Lost all faith, lost my mind
Wake me from this dream
Don't want to pretend I've not seen
No way to deny what rang through my ears
The knife wounds are there in my heart
Finish me or save me
Closing my eyes I see it so clearly
Our dreams and plans all laid out
Painted black by your sinister heart
My life given only to you
How can I run away now?
My love . . .
I can't think
I can't sleep
I'm fallen apart . . . broken
How I get lost in you
All I live for
One I'd die for
Nothing left for me now
Slowly I'll disappear
I must be dreaming . . .

Thank you so much! I am so happy to have been picked as part of your feature!
Wow... just... wow... this is a wonderful poem, what else can I say?
I always have moments like this... not knowing whether I truly lived something, or if it was a dream. Sometimes I even wonder if I'm dreaming at the present moment... Wonderful poem, it was very good! <3
nice. looks like the gal/guy's heart's dead/dying but wishing it ain't at the same time.

Drove by both Settlers Trace and Van Buren and they are closed. Possum Ridge at the state park has water up to where the trailers park. The parking lot doesn't have much slope there and may be difficult to get you boat off the trailer. The two bass tournaments out of Possum Ridge on Sunday have cancelled. Have not heard anything on Chowning Lane. Good luck. It is 35.2 ft above summer pool right now.

Are You Trying to Make Me Hate You, R*?
Not that I expect anyone to care, but I've despised this 'game' for a long time. My review from when it originally released:
I agree with the person who said it was $60 misspent.
I turned this game in as soon as I knocked out the original 50 cheevos (including the ones from the first two DLC) and never looked back. But the achievement whore in me just won't leave it alone. I keep seeing that missing 200 G on my activity page and I know those cheevos have gotta be super easy, but I don't want to pay for the DLC.
So, yesterday I happened across a pre-owned copy of the Complete Edition and said to myself, "Hey, I could get those achievements for 'Nicholson Electroplating' and 'Reefer Madness' in a day or so and then turn this back in to GameStop and get all my money back... Free DLC! BWA-HA-HA!!
So I picked it up and took it home. Remembering that the first time around, the game ran better installed, I went ahead and did that. The 4 discs are almost 26 fucking gigs! Anyway, I then copied my old saves back into the game file and fired her up.
When the opening title menu comes up, all I can select is NEW and EXTRAS. WTF? I check the saves and they're still there and don't seem corrupt, but the game is ignoring them.
I couldn't understand because when I got the GOTY Edition of Red Dead Redemption, I didn't even have to re-install. I plugged the disc into the drive and headed over to the previously PS3-exclusive content and it fired right up.
So I head onto the Interwebs, and there I discover that R* was kind enough to change L.A. Noire for the Complete Edition. So, now, instead of the DLC cases being separate, like they were before, they are integrated into the various desks as part of the story.
The real kicker is that the Complete Edition does not recognize saves from the original edition. And apparently if you have a save from the original, it will prevent the Complete Edition from making a new save game.
Thanks a bunch for that, R*.
Essentially what this all boils down to is that in order to get the 10 cheevos I haven't acquired, I have to play the whole fucking game again. Okay, that's not entirely true, but considering "Nicholson's Electroplating" is the penultimate case I might as well be playing the whole fucking game again... Granted, I don't have to work to get the other cheevos, but still.
Good thing there are so many walkthroughs and that my partner can drive me everywhere. I knocked out the first 2 desks last night. But even then this game is still a trudge.
Depending on how long this takes me, I might re-examine my achievement whoring and make a new assessment on whether I should let this behaviour continue.

Paul Oakenfold's Facelift Tour at LIV November 13
Producer and Perfecto Records founder Paul Oakenfold isn't your typical DJ. He has toured every inch of the planet with legendary acts such as U2 and Madonna. And known for the glitz and glam that often accompany his sets, he has staged every kind of spectacle, from fully produced stage shows starring 75 circus performers to special effects and light displays.
So predictably, Oakenfold isn't an easy man to reach. A simple conversation with him means calling a hotel at 9 p.m. Eastern Time and asking for a long-dead English author whose name he uses as a pseudonym. Asked if he's a fan of the aforementioned Brit, Oakenfold replies half-confused, "Sorry?" After a pause, he regroups, chuckling, "Yeah. I am a fan."
Later, it comes up that the DJ spent his early 20s pretending to be a reporter for music magazines such as NME and Melody Maker. He interviewed legends such as Bob Marley, but his major motivation was getting into the best clubs and parties in the United States.
"Well, that was how you got in," Oakenfold shrugs. "If you've got an English accent and you've got an ID card that says you work for that magazine, obviously that was good enough."

- She Wants Revenge: Debut Album 10 Year Anniversary Tour
- Leaving On A Jet Plane
His answers to the next few questions are similarly short and calculated — almost as if he were tweeting his thoughts — until he brings up Miami.
"Well, like a lot of people, I love Miami," he says. "I think it's very cosmopolitan. Obviously, a lot of South Americans really bring out that flavor for electronic music. They love it in South America, so it really opens the door in Miami for a lot of electronic artists."
Conveniently enough, Oakenfold will be in town this weekend at LIV as part of the 50-date Facelift Tour, road-testing new material from his currently untitled album-in-progress. Scheduled for a May 2011 release, the disc will feature a ton of cross-genre talent, including Cee-Lo, Ryan Tedder of One Republic, the Red Hot Chili Peppers, and Matt Goss. Meanwhile, he has assembled a small gang of young, international musicians — Chuckie, Calvin Harris, and Nervo — to help with the road show.
"I like the idea of being able to play all kinds of music," Oakenfold explains when asked about his eclectic roster of collaborators. "For me, it's the way forward. I find that I like that approach."
And now 20-plus years into his DJ career, the man behind the music has worked with every genre, from Goa trance, Balearic beats, progressive trance, and rock to acid house, hip-hop, pop, and soul. But he doesn't have much to say about all of those twists and turns.
"It's just the music I like and play, really," he concludes. "There's nothing more in it than that."

There are many kings mentioned in the Bible and this men's Biblical King Costume could be effective for any of them! Consisting of an ankle length, long-sleeved white tunic trimmed in gold stripes, a royal blue kaftan trimmed in bright gold ribbon, an ornate gold belt for the tunic, and the gold kingly crown! Add sandals, rings, and other jewelry for an ancient king look as well as a wig and beard if you don't already have the necessary look! A perfect costume for a nativity play, a Sunday School theater production, or Halloween costume, this king could easily transform into an ancient Greek king out of history or mythology, or many other kings of antiquity! It is really the details that sell this as a particular king or a king from a particular time or place, so use your creativity and make this costume worthy of a king!

my opinion? cool, but not what i'd ride. a skateboard is about the only wooden thing i'd like to ride down the street.
****ing awesome. incredible craftsmanship.
I think im going to totally try it as next winter woodworking project! I think the shop should be set up enough by then! I need to buy about 35 more clamps though ! I know i could make it solid enough to ride, but It would be just as awesome to have one just as wall art ! My ***** for fine wood working has just risen again!

Whoa, that's crazy. The concept sounds a little rickety when first mulling it over, but with that many laminates it should have quite a bit of structural integrity. Looks beautiful too.

Beautiful, thanks for sharing.
I think it would look better with a quill stem and lugged fork
lets see a video of you riding

I wonder if its glued together?

Not ss/fg, but still drool-worthy in my opinion.

I wouldnt trust a wooden fork, especially one that is bolted onto a steel steer tube like the picture above. and I wouldnt trust the wooden drop-outs found in the first link.
cool concept, but I dont think "structural integrity" is a quality that these bicycles posses especially if they are ridden in various climates for a period of time -- at least not on par with steel or aluminum.

The Legality of Cabinet Firings
The revised disengagement plan approved by a cabinet majority this week will be remembered for more than its contents. The vote was preceded by actions that in themselves represented a disengagement from orderly constitutional procedure.
The revised disengagement plan approved by a cabinet majority this week will be remembered for more than its contents. The vote was preceded by actions that in themselves represented a disengagement from orderly constitutional procedure.
The problems that became evident are due to some extent to the "the rules of the game" created by Israel's Basic Laws - but they also derive from a heedless political culture, one bereft of accepted norms and "things that just aren't done" that are to be found elsewhere, as in Britain.
This political culture, which cannot be cured by legislation, was in evidence when the prime minister decided to remove from his cabinet two National Union ministers, Binyamin Elon and Avigdor Lieberman, who represent a Knesset faction and whose opposition to separation from any part of the territories was crystal clear when they joined the government. The use of prime ministerial authority in this case raises questions about ends justifying the means.
The prime minister's legal authority to dismiss ministers has been anchored in Israeli law since 1981. The purpose of this power, as emphasized in many Knesset discussions, is to give the prime minister necessary tools to act against ministers who violate the principle of "collective responsibility" in a Knesset vote, or who trample agreements that are spelled out in coalition guideline agreements.
The authority to dismiss ministers was not meant to help a prime minister gain a majority for the government on a specific subject - the use of this power in such a case is not for any worthy end. When it comes to making positions held by cabinet ministers compatible with those upheld by the prime minister, Israel's Basic Law on the Government offers one legitimate solution - it empowers the prime minister to dismantle the cabinet by offering his own resignation.
David Ben-Gurion accorded great significance to this power. A prime minister who resigns is, of course, entitled to hope that the president will ask him to try to form the new government, one which will be more in line with his own views.
The High Court may have decided to refrain from issuing a temporary injunction to stop the cabinet vote on account of the firing of the two ministers, but Supreme Court Justice Edmond Levy was moved to wonder aloud: "Can the democratic system countenance the possibility that a prime minister may fire ministers to create an artificial majority and win support for decisions - ones which might be fateful for the state?"
The question of whether it is reasonable for a prime minister to use his authority to fire ministers so as to gain a cabinet majority will be discussed by the High Court in a number of petitions that have been submitted. Ministers Avigdor Lieberman and Binyamin Elon no longer serve in the cabinet, yet the constitutional significance of their dismissal warrants a High Court decision about the principles it raises.
In 1993, the High Court found that prime minister Yitzhak Rabin's decision not to fire Shas minister Aryeh Deri, despite indictments for serious felonies that had been filed against him, was subject to judicial review and criticism. The Court decided that the prime minister's decision not to fire Deri was not tenable.
Yet again, it remains to be decided whether firing a minister is subject to judicial review. Even if it is decided that dismissal of a minister - be it for the color of his hair or anything else - cannot be subject to judicial criticism since it is essentially a political matter involving the prime minister's right to act and govern, the issue will still be subject to public critique.
It raises the genuine issue of the reasonable use of prime ministerial authority in a parliamentary system - which no longer accords the scope of powers that was conferred by the direct prime ministerial election system. In the broad constitutional context, the problematic character of a prime minister crafting a policy measure which has broad public support, while needing to rely on maneuvers such as firing ministers to promote the initiative, cannot be ignored.
The reality which has materialized - circumstances in which the prime minister has broken his promise to members of his own party - is liable to stir new public debates about the need to review the possibility of creating a presidential system which is protected by necessary checks and balances.
The bad taste left by Israel's experiment with direct prime ministerial elections need not disqualify proposals to establish a new government system that would enable the prime minister to carry out a political and social platform. Making the leader accountable to the legislative branch, as is done in the U.S., and broadening constitutional protections provided by basic laws, would prevent repeat scenarios of "cabinet maneuvers" that make a mockery of orderly government procedure.

Health and Access to Care and Coverage for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Individuals in the U.S.
Lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) individuals often face challenges and barriers to accessing needed health services and, as a result, can experience worse health outcomes. These challenges can include stigma, discrimination, violence, and rejection by families and communities, as well as other barriers, such as inequality in the workplace and health insurance sectors, the provision of substandard care, and outright denial of care because of an individual's sexual orientation or gender identity. This issue brief examines population characteristics of the LGBT community including demographics, health challenges such as chronic conditions, HIV/AIDS epidemic and STIs, mental health and substance use, sexual and physical violence, adolescent and young adult health, and access to care and insurance coverage. Additionally, this brief examines the impacts of the Affordable Care Act (ACA), the recent Supreme Court rulings and other policy changes related to same-sex marriage on insurance coverage and access to health care services.Issue Brief Read More
Medicare And Medicaid At 50
Medicare and Medicaid were signed into law by President Lyndon Johnson on July 30, 1965 in a bipartisan effort to provide health insurance coverage for low-income, disabled, and elderly Americans. In their 50 year history, each of these programs has come to play a key role in providing health coverage to millions of Americans today and make up a significant component of federal and state budgets. As major programs both in size and scope, their role and the ways in which they operate are often debated by policymakers and the public alike. As the programs reach their 50th year, the Kaiser Family Foundation conducted a nationally representative survey of Americans to explore the public's views of these programs, their experiences as beneficiaries, and their opinions on proposals for future changes.Poll Finding Read More

How Have State Medicaid Expansion Decisions Affected the Experiences of Low-Income Adults? Perspectives from Ohio, Arkansas, and Missouri
This brief examines the experiences of low-income adults in three states that have made varied Medicaid expansion decisions: Ohio, which adopted the ACA Medicaid expansion, Arkansas which implemented the Medicaid expansion through a "Private Option" waiver, and Missouri, which has not adopted the expansion. While Arkansas and Ohio implemented the expansion in different ways, participants in both states described how obtaining coverage improved their ability to access care, contributing to improvements in their ability to work and family relationships. In contrast, participants in Missouri remained uninsured limiting their ability to obtain needed care, creating significant stress and anxiety in their lives, and interfering with their ability to work and care for their families.Issue Brief Read More

Access to Care for the Insured and Remaining Uninsured: A Look at California During Year One of ACA Implementation
California is a bellwether state for understanding the impact of the Affordable Care Act (ACA). Much attention has been paid to enrollment in California's new coverage options, such as the Medicaid expansion (Medi-Cal) and plans sold through ACA marketplaces (Covered California), and to changes in the uninsured from 2013 to 2014. However, less is known about how this coverage has affected people's access to care and financial security, and why others remain uninsured. This report, based on the 2014 Kaiser Survey of Low-Income Americans aims to fill this gap by comparing the newly insured, previously insured and remaining uninsured across several of these important dimensions.Issue Brief Read More

Are The Salem Witches Returning For Justice?
Witch craft is the art of casting spells and conjuring up potions. Many believe that it is Satanism. For this reason, in the early days, witches were deemed as evil forces and must be destroyed. During the Salem witch hunts, these entities were sought out, tried, and killed. My fascination with the paranormal, supernatural, and the unknown has lead me to search for interesting stories about these topics. The Joshua Ward house falls neatly into the realm of paranormal activity. The following is a brief account of what transpired during the Salem witch hunts.
The History:
The Joshua Ward house is one of Massachusetts most haunted homes. It was built in the mid 1780's by sea captain Joshua Ward. It is centered in the town of Salem Mass., and built on the same land that Sheriff George Corwin, also known as "The Strangler," lived. He sought out people suspected of practicing witchcraft, brutally interrogated them, then slowly choke the life from them by hanging. This is how he became known as "The Strangler."
Sheriff Corwin was responsible for all 19 executions of the suspected witches, during the Salem witch hunts of 1692 and 1693. During the interrogations, the sheriff would tie their necks to their ankles, and sometimes even crush them with rocks, trying to get a confession. This was an old English law allowing him to do that. As their life was being choked away, many of the victims cursed the sheriff, and anyone who was involved with this senseless cruelty.
In 1697 sheriff Corwin died of a heart attack and was buried in the basement of his home. Partly because it was winter and the ground was frozen. But mainly, his family feared his body would be dismembered by angry towns people. Years later his body was dug up and placed into the Broad Street Cemetery. One myth is when a body is disturbed from its grave, the spirit becomes confused and restless.
Sightings and Experiences:
There have been many sightings and experiences within these walls. One in particular is a woman with black hair wandering the halls. Possibly searching for her killer. She has been captured in a photograph by the current residence. In this photograph, she seems very angry. Photo can be viewed at: http://www.slightlywarped.com/crapfactory/ghastlyghostgallery/ghosts/wickedwitch.htm.
Another account is a man named "Giles Corey," who was wrongly accused of being a Salem witch. He was crushed by rocks and died during the interrogation. But before he passed he cursed the sheriff. It also affected several sheriffs for years to follow.
Other accounts include, trashcans being overturned, certain rooms containing cold spots, candles being removed from their holders and being melted and bent into an s shape. Books randomly fly from their shelves, and rooms become messed up.
Even the sheriff has been reported being seen sitting in a rocking chair by the fireplace. Many people have said they feel a presence, and hands around their throat choking them. Some say it is the sheriff continuing his brutal acts or the witches themselves returning and sharing their demise.
To this day paranormal activity still haunts the Joshua House.

Akbar Ali, Zonal Manager, Central Bank of India and Phillipa Baker, Head Corporate Training, British Council, New Delhi were chief guests.
The students from the economically weaker sections were handed over the membership cards sponsored by Central Bank of India with a fee of Rs 1600 per card for a year. The aim of this activity was to provide the children a platform for gaining knowledge. The students selected for this scholarship have been delivering good academic results in their schools.
Akbaraly asked the students to deliver their best not only in their studies, and fulfil the expectations of their parents and teachers. He also expressed the hope that this endeavor would not only inculcate the habit of reading in students, but also make them aware of their hidden talents in the world of books and literature.

Each year at this time the daily book critics for The New York Times make lists of favorite books. Favorite is not synonymous with best, so this process can be painful. Brutal honesty is required. We pick what we actually liked, not what we only admired, although ideally our favorites fit both descriptions. But if any of us had fallen for the "Fifty Shades of Grey" books, we'd have to say so. We didn't, so we don't.
Anyway, after too much deliberation, we recommend these.
The Passage Of Power: The Years Of Lyndon Johnson by Robert A. Caro (Alfred A. Knopf)
In the latest installment of his magisterial, multivolume biography, Caro uses his wondrous narrative gifts to tell the dramatic story of how Johnson was catapulted to the White House in the wake of the assassination of John F. Kennedy, and how he used his potent political skills to push his predecessor's civil rights legislation through Congress and lay the groundwork for his own revolutionary war on poverty.
A Hologram For The King by Dave Eggers (McSweeney's Books)
Using a new, pared down voice in this sad-funny-moving novel, Eggers recounts the tale of a penny-ante Job named Alan Clay, who's betting everything on a quixotic scheme to sell the king of Saudi Arabia a lucrative new technology contract. Alan's dreamlike story unfolds to become an emotionally stirring allegory about the frustrations of middle-class Americans coping with unemployment and diminished dreams in a newly globalized world.
The Yellow Birds by Kevin Powers (Little, Brown & Co.)
The author of this beautifully observed first novel joined the Army when he was 17 and served as a machine-gunner in Iraq in 2004 and 2005. In chronicling the friendship of two young soldiers struggling to stay alive on the battlefield there he has written a deeply affecting book that conveys the horrors of combat with harrowing poetry. At once a freshly imagined bildungsroman and a metaphysical parable about the loss of innocence and the uses of memory, it's a novel that will stand with Tim O'Brien's enduring Vietnam book, "The Things They Carried," as a classic of contemporary war fiction.
Telegraph Avenue by Michael Chabon (Harper)
Taking its title from the famous thoroughfare that bridges Berkeley and Oakland, Calif., this fresh, tactile novel introduces us to Archy Stallings and Nat Jaffe, the proprietors of a struggling vinyl-record store that's threatened by the prospect of a new megastore opening down the street. The stories of Nat and Archy and their families become a choral tale that addresses many of Chabon's perennial themes — concerning fathers and sons, husbands and wives, and the consolations of art — while underscoring his ability to write magically about just about anything.
The Idea Factory: Bell Labs And The Great Age Of American Innovation by Jon Gertner (Penguin Press)
From the 1920s through the '80s Bell Labs — the research and development wing of AT&T — was the most innovative scientific organization in the world, pioneering the development of the transistor, the laser and digital communications. In this riveting new book Gertner not only gives us keenly observed portraits of the individual scientists behind such transformative products but also examines the reasons Bell Labs became such an incubator of talent — and the place, for several decades, where the future was invented.
The Twelve Tribes Of Hattie by Ayana Mathis (Alfred A. Knopf)
This extraordinarily powerful debut novel chronicles the many sorrows visited upon one Hattie Shepherd, a woman who left the Jim Crow South in the 1920s to start a new life in Philadelphia, and who at 16 lost her twin babies to pneumonia. That loss hardens Hattie's heart, and she raises nine more children with stoic determination and not a whole lot of warmth — an emotional legacy that will shape the remainder of their lives. Writing with authority and psychological precision, Mathis endows Hattie's life with an epic dimension — much as Toni Morrison has done with so many of her characters — while at the same time making her daily life thoroughly palpable and real.
The Revolution Was Televised: The Cops, Crooks, Slingers And Slayers Who Changed TV Drama Forever by Alan Sepinwall
In this engaging new book the television critic for hitfix.com provides a smart, observant look at 12 "great millennial dramas" — including "The Sopranos," "The Wire," "24," "Friday Night Lights," "Mad Men" and "Breaking Bad" — that transformed the TV landscape and moved the small screen out from under the shadow of the movies. Mixing critical analysis and interviews with the creators of these shows, the book is a spirited and thoughtful cultural history that possesses all the immediacy and detailed observation of Sepinwall's popular blog, What's Alan Watching?
Every Love Story Is A Ghost Story: A Life Of David Foster Wallace by D.T. Max (Viking)
This revealing biography of Wallace — who committed suicide in 2008 at 46 — traces the connections between his life and art, mapping the sources of his philosophical vision, while chronicling the heartbreaking struggle he waged throughout his adult life with severe depression. It gives the reader a sympathetic portrait of the artist as a young man: conflicted, self-conscious and, like many of his characters, yearning for connection yet stymied by the whirring of his brain and the discontinuities of an America reeling from information overload.
Hello Goodbye Hello: A Circle of 101 Remarkable Meetings by Craig Brown (Simon & Schuster)
In this captivating volume a longtime columnist for the satirical British magazine Private Eye weaves together dozens of real-life encounters into a glittering daisy chain that reads like an entertaining illustration of the theory of Six Degrees of Separation. Frank Lloyd Wright meets Marilyn Monroe who meets Nikita Khrushchev. Tolstoy meets Tchaikovsky who meets Rachmaninoff who meets Harpo Marx who meets George Bernard Shaw. Brown's sketches of these incongruous meetings — drawing upon diaries, biographies, interviews and other source material — possess the historical resonance of reportage, the surreal fizz of fiction.
Hallucinations by Oliver Sacks (Alfred A. Knopf)
This physician's latest book is a fascinating natural history of hallucinations. There are visual hallucinations (like seeing Kermit the "Sesame Street" frog several times a day), auditory hallucinations (hearing music or voices), and hallucinations produced by illness, fevers, sleep deprivation, drugs, grief, trauma and exhaustion. Sacks' compassion for his patients and philosophical outlook transform what might have been clinical case studies into humanely written short stories that illuminate the complexities of the human brain and the mysteries of the human mind.
Dwight Garner: Poems
1962-2012 by Louise Gluck (Farrar, Straus & Giroux)
An event. Gluck's collected poems have a great novel's cohesiveness and raking moral intensity. This is a poet with a prosecutorial mind: in supple and exact language, she interrogates the world around us. She is fearsome. And fearless.
Fire In The Belly: The Life and Times of David Wojnarowicz by Cynthia Carr (Bloomsbury)
Wojnarowicz (1954-92) was a painter, photographer, writer, performance artist, filmmaker and an AIDS activist whose work helped define the anarchic downtown Manhattan art scene of the 1980s. This admirably sensitive and cleareyed biography makes a case that, in life and art, he was "so ugly he was beautiful."
Wild: From Lost To Found
on The Pacific Coast Trail by Cheryl Strayed (Alfred A. Knopf)
As loose and sexy and dark as an early Lucinda Williams song, this memoir — about a long and sometimes desperate hike alone on the Pacific Coast Trail when the author was 26 — makes an earthy and American sound. It's moving, without making you feel you are committing mental suicide.
Why Be Happy When You Could Be Normal? by Jeanette Winterson (Grove Press)
In this vivid memoir, Winterson makes it plain that words were her ticket out of a sadistically grim childhood. By the time she was a teenager, she says, "I knew how words worked in the way that some boys knew how engines worked." About her adoptive mother, we read, "She was a monster, but she was my monster."
In Praise Of Messy Lives:
Essays by Katie Roiphe (Dial)
This collection of brisk and provocative essays argues that we've grown pretty dull and conservative, more interested in being parents than in being adults. Roiphe carefully — and necessarily — isolates "messiness as a value, a good thing, a lost and interesting way of life."
Far From The Tree: Parents, Children, And The Search For Identity by Andrew Solomon (Scribner)
This knotty, gargantuan and lionhearted book introduces us to families that are coping with things like deafness, dwarfism, Down syndrome, autism and schizophrenia.

TUCSON, Ariz. — Arizona's offense was disjointed, the shots were not falling, the free throws clanging one after another.
Playing without injured forward Brandon Ashley for the first time, the second-ranked Wildcats looked out of sorts on the offensive end, leaving them in jeopardy of their first losing streak of the season.
Good thing they know how to play defense, particularly when the game is on the line. Digging in over the closing minutes, Arizona overcame a rough shooting night to win in their first game without Ashley, grinding out a 67-65 victory over Oregon on Thursday night.
"Our defense down the stretch is what we rely on," said Nick Johnson, who led Arizona with 18 points. "We have all year."
The Wildcats needed it against Oregon.
Coming off its first loss of the season, Arizona (22-1, 9-1 Pacific-12 Conference) labored offensively without Ashley, who is out for the season with a foot injury suffered last Saturday in a loss at California.
The Wildcats went 4 for 16 from 3-point range, missed 16 free throws and had a tough time even getting into their set plays.
They turned up the pressure with the game on the line and, as they have for much of the season, found a way to make the big plays when they needed to.
Point guard T.J. McConnell missed seven of his first eight shots before dropping in a 3-pointer with 90 seconds left to give Arizona the lead.
Johnson went 5 of 16 from the field, but kept fighting his way through it and hit 5 of 6 free throws in the final 47 seconds.
Rondae Hollis-Jefferson provided the Wildcats with a big lift, too, finishing with 14 points, 10 rebounds and all kinds of not-in-the-box score contributions with his hustle in his first start in place of Ashley.
Oregon (15-7, 3-7) held its composure in one of college basketball's toughest road arenas, keeping the Wildcats at bay well into the second half. Joseph Young and Jason Calliste had 14 points each for the Ducks.
