The Heart of Healing: A Patient's Perspective
Our Services
This article was written by Maureen Quinn, a communications consultant and former patient who also serves as a member of the UW Hospital and Clinics Health and Healing Committee.
Visiting patients is a lot more fun than being one. I've walked these corridors before bringing flowers and cheer to patients and attending hospital board meetings. And now I sit with hospital gown and bald head pondering the meaning of time.
Infusions drip into me for months. My busy life pauses with lots of time to observe. Quietly my weekly tennis group replaces me with a sub. I'm tethered to a machine five hours a day every couple weeks waiting for healing. And so my story gets personal.
Cancer was the one illness I prayed not to get and got. So I tackled it. It was very important to me to gather a team of doctors who could support my desire to use integrative medicine as a complement to traditional cancer therapies.
"Speak to me in the language of wellness, not illness," I told my oncologist. "I want to do everything in my power to boost my immune system and get well. This is a journey to wellness."
Frankly, I was scared and overwhelmed with my diagnosis of breast cancer and with cancer information. It was important to remain positive and to keep my sense of humor. My perspective was to treat this bump (lump) in the road as learning and healing experience.
My mind refused to consider the worst. I wanted to consider options and be open to alternative methods of healing. I wanted to feel spunky and look healthy, not sick. My research led me to Dr. Lucille Marchand, whose name came up several times from former cancer patients. I was happy that my oncologist also referred me to her. I immediately set up an appointment.
Dr. Marchand walked into the small hospital conference room and smiled, not with pity but with compassion and a spirit of happiness. I loved that. She listened and took notes while I shared my philosophy on healing. She offered to compose a health plan tailored to my beliefs and her medical knowledge.
When I returned the next week my health plan included exercise, meditation, nutrition, non-pharmaceutical supplements, daily regimens and natural ways to enhance healing. What was most impressive was that she included some of my comments in the plan and supported these with medical suggestions. This was an indication that she truly listened and wanted to help and support me. She also explained the drugs that I was taking in the chemo regimen and the side effects.
We worked together for over a year. Dr. Marchand's counsel was so important to me because as I went through surgery, chemo and radiation, I also was helping care for my dying mother, who lived two hours away. Dr. Marchand's gentle guidance and suggestions for palliative care for my mother were a balm to my spirit and to my own wounded body.
Because I had studied holistic healing for decades, I suddenly realized that I would now be my own guinea pig. My belief in the body, mind and spirit connection would be put to the test. I was determined to incorporate this holistic philosophy into my health plan. My regimen included meditation, prayer, a few sessions of acupuncture, massage and healing touch. If these practices are reinforcement for healthy living, why not boost myself while healing?
To keep my thoughts calm and encouraging, I listened to soothing music and to CDs with positive imagery and health affirmations. My iPod accompanied me on walks as I listened to a play list of upbeat songs my brother had so thoughtfully recorded. It kept my steps and thoughts positive. I visualized my body healing. I tried to change my diet, eat healthier, but had little appetite. I continued to work full-time, albeit with some brain and body fatigue and an understanding boss.
It was during my countless visits to the UW Hospital and Clinics that I became dedicated to creating a healing environment for patients and for staff. My goal was to help empower patients to assist in their own healing. We are all channels of healing: for ourselves and others. During my discussions with Dr. Marchand, I told her that I wanted to produce healing programs on the hospital TV— channels to sooth weary patients and families and to give them non-invasive ways to aid in their own healing.
My desire continues to empower patients to use their own unique bodies, minds and spiritual beliefs to heal. At Dr. Marchand's suggestion I met with Dr. David Rakel, the director of Integrative Medicine at UW Hospital and Clinics (and member of the hospital's Health and Healing Committee), to share my idea. Coincidentally, spiritual care services (which is part of the Health and Healing Committee), had just received funding from the Derzon Endowment Fund and UW Hospital and Clinics nursing services for in-house TV programming. Thus, I found myself on the UW Hospital and Clinics' Health and Healing Committee.
This committee is made up of volunteers from the medical staff and hospital administrators and a few community volunteers, some former patients. The committee is co-chaired by Penny Andrews, hospital chaplain, and Dr. Joel Wish, director of pediatric psychology at American Family Children's Hospital. Within two years, three in-house healing channels are up and running at the UW Hospital and other programs and offerings are in the works. The healing TV programs run 24/7 for patients and families, and are available free of charge for those interested.
The programming includes an introduction to Integrative Medicine by Dr. Rakel, a Chuckle Channel (comedy), music videos, guided meditation and imagery, bedside yoga, quiet tai chi movement for patients, preparing for surgery and more. Additional programming is planned to benefit patients and families during their hospital stay.
Specialists in Integrative Medicine are available for alternative therapies to complement traditional medicine. In addition to spiritual guidance and personal counseling, the integration of art, music, nature and pet therapy, environmental design and the greening of health care are viewed in a holistic way.
"Our desire is to educate and inform patients about services to help them on their journey to health and wholeness," said Penny Andrews, UW Hospital chaplain and co-chair and founder of the Health and Healing Committee.
What is wonderful about this committee is the diversity of its representation, which includes medical and administrative staff across many UW Hospital disciplines and departments. They volunteer their time and services. The committee's mission is to explore ways to integrate health and healing throughout the hospital environment. Through their collaboration, commitment and dedication they have raised the standard of awareness with a view of holistic healing - body, mind and spirit.
This holistic vision has expanded to include a refreshed view of how the hospital can better support healing with compassionate care for patients, families, medical staff and care for the wounded planet. Initiatives include recycling, noise reduction, air quality, healing gardens, quiet space, living landscapes, mapping, and sustainable products.
Programs are underway to improve nutritional options in the cafeteria for patients, staff and visitors. The overall goal is to review and implement cost-effective best practices that enhance healing. Already the UW-Madison's Nelson Institute for Environmental Studies, the School of Veterinary Sciences, the School of Music, and representatives from Wisconsin Public Television have contributed research, interns, programs and services.
Funding is crucial to maintain programs and to expand care options for patients and staff. According to Dr. Rakel, the hospital's partnering with local, regional and national vendors has met with enthusiastic support. Recently the National Office Furniture Company of Indiana awarded the Health and Healing Committee a $25,000 grant to sustain some of these initiatives. Committee member Ardis Hutchins, UW Hospital interior architect, won the grant for the hospital based on her entry of how "Designers Give Back to their Healthcare Community."
"We are thrilled with this award and appreciate the generosity from the National Office Furniture Company," said Hutchins, who volunteered for the committee.
Her collaborative work with the committee and hospital administrators affirmed how architectural planning contributes to healing space. National Office Furniture urged the grant money be used to support these initiatives.
For more information, the UW Foundation has set up a tax-deductible and convenient way for donors (corporate, families and individuals) to contribute to Integrative Medicine at UW Hospital and Clinics. Gratitude and giving back are part of the healing journey to wellness.

Maybe you're looking around our site and asking yourself, "Can I really roast my own coffee beans at home?" Not only is the answer "Yes, you can" but it is also "Yes, you should"! There are a few old hard-heads out there who might not agree, but over and over we hear from people who say their first cup of home roasted coffee is the best cup they've ever had. We certainly think so!
We often tell people the difference in fresh, home roasted coffee and commercial coffee is like the difference in a tomato right out of your garden and one off a supermarket shelf. There simply is no comparison. Priscilla perhaps said it best when we roasted our first batch of coffee at home years ago, even though we didn't have a clue what we were doing. Her eyes lit up and she said, "This is what coffee is supposed to taste like!"
We never looked back.
Home coffee roasting can be as simple or as technical as you care to be. Your roaster can range from a skillet to a Gene Café. A popcorn air popper makes a fine coffee roaster. A lot of folks start with one and then move on to a dedicated roaster when they realize they can't possibly drink that stuff in a brick again! Depending on your roaster and batch size, roasting only takes between 5 and 30 minutes. A full 16 ounce pound of premium single estate specialty grade (highest) green coffee costs about half what a 12 ounce bag of Star***** roasted coffee sells for in the supermarket, and goodness knows how old it is.
Green coffee has a very long shelf life. Although there is disagreement among coffee professionals, some say you can keep it up to 10 years with no degradation. While that might be a bit long, a general consensus is about two years. If you'll simply treat it like you would dry pinto beans--keep it out of direct sunlight and keep it dry, and it will keep a good long time.
Once you roast it, then the clock starts. Now think of your roasted coffee like you would fresh bread. Protect it from oxygen (we use old fashioned canning jars--the kind with the metal latch and the rubber seal), and only roast what you'll use in the next 3-5 days. Just like bread, freshness makes a world of difference in coffee. But if you haven't tried it, how could you know?
There is a whole world of flavors and aromas waiting for you to discover. We offer many specialty grade coffees that are superb as single origins, and you are really limited only by your imagination when it comes to creating your own "signature" blend possibilities. Our offerings are continually changing with the seasons, so check back often.
Home coffee roasting is easy, quick, economical and delicious. But maybe the best reason is that it is just plain fun. Why not give it a shot? We're betting you'll be just like us--the first sip of fresh, home roasted coffee and you know right then you'll never go back to that grocery store swill!

If we are going to vacuum seal it anyway, we also have the option of buying it in bulk, which would save us even more.
I am glad this is working out, we should also extend this offer to our friends over at WG as they have good enough to include us in there offers
I am in for a case or two if this stuff is good i will let you know when my small order comes in
WG members are always welcome, but I don't know what the WG policy is on posting outside GBs.
ok I pm'd dutigaf we can post a group buy under a different catagory then group buy???
also i just receved my 6 boxes of tomato sauce, figures right after I had lunch, so I will cook up one packet for dinner tonight and let you all know how it taste and how easy it is to process ( make)
I will back after dinner
ok update, the product came in a plastic bag, in convient size boxes for storage repack in large zip lock ould last a longtime,
I prepared the sauce as directed, I served it with rigatoni, the taste was exceptable especially for camping, emergency foods, tasted better than I thought it would, not to acidic or watery
I should add its not what my mother or aunts would make, but they don't freeze dry it and reconsituted it.
I also ate the meal with no meat or sausage, this could also change the dynamic. I tried the spicy first , it was spicy enough that I did not need pepper flakes which i always use
I had two helpings so that is another indication and saved the leftovers for another meal maybe with sausage to see if it changes the favor
I think you will like it, not bad for just adding water, I would order a case if we did a group buy. it did remind me of Spatini ( circa 1960-70"s) instant sauce my mother would make when camping and long distance travelling
sprat the new food critic
Sprat the new Gunco food critic, I tip my hat someone had to take the first step into the beyond.:lol::thankyou:
We are looking into putting a group buy together on this sauce. anyone interested, please respond in this thread.

The 64.0 quarter-credit program is interdisciplinary and requires students to complete a comprehensive, community-based master's project. The program prepares students to enter an array of fields related to public health or a range of doctoral programs.
Program Highlights
The first year of the program covers the five core disciplines offered within the context of culture and community. These include environmental and occupational health; health care systems organization, management, and policy; social and behavioral sciences for population health; epidemiology; biostatistics. During the second year of the program, students select one of five following concentrations from the school's four academic departments:
- Biostatistics
- Epidemiology
- Community Health and Prevention
- Environmental and Occupational Health
- Health Management and Policy
Throughout the program, group case discussion sessions, case-related activities and didactic sessions are integrated into the experience. These include:
- Skill development labs and workshops (year two);
- Public health grand rounds (for all faculty, students, and community partners) provide access to scholars and their cutting-edge research and initiatives in public health.
The MPH full-time educational program is structured on a quarter-term basis, with a total 64.0 credit hours required. This is generally taken as a two-year program; all coursework must be completed within seven years of the date of matriculation for the full-time program.
The second-year curriculum is composed of four courses in the chosen area of concentration (Biostatistics; Epidemiology; Community Health and Prevention; Environmental and Occupational Health; Health Management and Policy), three elective courses, and the Community-Based Master's Project (CBMP), the culminating experience required of full-time Dornsife MPH students.
Students spend approximately 12 hours each week working on a community-oriented, health-related project, often working as an integral part of a community-based organization. This can be in the areas of government, healthcare and social services, among others. In preparation for developing their final paper, students are required to identify an issue or problem of significance to the target community or agency, synthesize the literature, develop an approach or methodology to address the issue, and either implement and test the validity of a proposed approach or set out a detailed prescription for addressing the problem.

John Scofield with Medeski Martin & Wood: Chank
John Scofield (guitar)
A Go Go (Verve 314 539 979)
John Scofield (guitar), John Medeski (organ), Chris Wood (bass), Billy Martin (drums).
Composed by John Scofield.
Rating: 93/100 (learn more)
John Scofield and Medeski Martin & Wood are a match made in jazz-funk heaven, and A Go Go is arguably the best record MMW has ever recorded. Sensitive to the guitarist's every nuance, they are the ideal rhythm section for Scofield's ambiguity and implicit soulfulness. If Scofield wants to drive, they rev their engine, and if he wants to cool out, they provide him with the laziest of lazy-boy grooves. On "Chank" the guys lay down a new wave boogaloo, with Martin and Wood freakishly synched, hitting every off-beat and syncopation in perfect rhythmic unison. Scofield sounds enthused, his bite-sized phrases dripping with hot soul sauce, but Medeski sounds downright possessed. What on earth did he eat for breakfast that day?!

Where: Turner Field
Did you know: The Dodgers and Braves have met in the postseason just once. With Greg Maddux, John Smoltz and Tom Glavine starting the games, the Braves swept the wild-card Dodgers in three games during the 1996 NL Division Series.
Numbers game: 3 – Of the seven regular-season games between the teams this year that were started by Matt Magill and Stephen Fife, neither of whom will be on the playoff roster for this series.
Kershaw did not face the Braves this season and has pitched just once at Turner Field in his six-year big league career (no-decision in 2011). He also has limited postseason experience — two starts and three relief appearances in 2008 and 2009 (all before his 22nd birthday). A lock to win his second Cy Young Award this year, Kershaw led the majors in ERA and WHIP (0.92) and the National League in strikeouts (232).
Medlen, 27, a right-hander from Gahr High of Cerritos and Santa Ana College, finished strong for the second consecutive season. In 2012, he was 9-0 with an 0.93 ERA over his final 12 starts. This season he was named the NL Player of the Month for September and went 5-0 with an 0.84 ERA over his final six starts. Medlen faced the Dodgers twice this season and allowed just one unearned run on seven hits in 132/3 innings, striking out 11.

...suffering occurs when we want other people to love us in the way we imagine we want to be loved, and not in the way that love should manifest itself - free and untrammeled, guiding us with its force and driving us on.

-When we marry, we are authorized to take possession of the other person, body and soul.
-We must be amusing at all times and sneer at those who express their real feelings; it's dangerous for a tribe to allow its members to show their feelings.
-We must at all costs avoid saying no because people prefer those who say yes, and this allows us to survive in hostile territory.
-What other people think is more important than what we feel.
People who are different are dangerous; they belong to another tribe; they want our lands and our women.
-We must marry, have children, reproduce the species.
-Love is only a small thing, enough for one person, and any suggestion that the heart might be larger than this is considered perverse.

Assuming "Thrift Shop" ever relinquishes its hold on radio and the pop charts, next in line for Macklemore and Ryan Lewis off The Heist's is the fine affirmational jam "Can't Hold Us"—already into the Top 40, and sure to keep climbing. And where 51-year-old music vet Wanz carried "Thrift Shop" with his golden-throated crooning, "Can't Hold Us" boasts the Top 40 debut of 22-year-old hook man Ray Dalton, a gospel and R&B singer part now also an inextricable part of the Mack/Lewis live camp.
We caught up with the extremely affable Dalton to talk about his recent experiences as a celebrity and in-demand live performer.
So where are you now?
I just got home to Seattle. We're shooting a video for "Can't Hold Us," and then we're flying right back on the road tomorrow.
What can you tell me about the video?
I can't even…it's hard to describe because we shot it in so many different places. But the video's gonna be great, gonna be really, really epic. I don't want to give too much away. We shot in New Zealand. That's one thing I can give away. It's gonna be very epic.
You were just at South by Southwest, right? What was that like?
It was actually my first time being there! And it was really hectic, but it's kinda fun at the same time, because you get to see all your friends. My friend Allen Stone was there…and Kay Slay, and I got to meet Rachael Ray. She was really cool. It was fun, you know, we're working hard and doing a bunch of shows which is really fun. We're doing like three shows a day. I haven't done that. But it was just kinda go with the flow and have fun, at the same time. I loved it.
What did you and Rachael Ray talk about?
She just talked about my singing. I got off stage, and she gave me a kiss on the cheek. And I was like "OH MY GAWSH!" And then we went up to her, like her hostess area, and then we talked more, and she was just like "Thank you guys for coming, it means a lot…" And we took a picture.
So let me ask you about how you got hooked up with Macklemore and Ryan Lewis. How did that all come about?
Well, um…Ryan once heard me sing on a song from another artist. He was chilling with this other artist, and Ryan Lewis was like "Wow, I wanna meet this guy." So [Ryan] Facebooked me, and I ended up meeting at their studio. And I started going to the studio and just record, just record, and then I met Ben, and we worked on "Wings"—that was the first song that we worked on. And I kept on working with them, and being part of the creative process.
And then "Can't Hold Us," they were like "OK, we have this song, and we need you to make a hook." And I couldn't make a hook for it. And I ended up coming in the studio one day and making the "Can't Hold Us" hook. That's how it all started.
And when you first heard "Can't Hold Us," did you know it was going to be a single? Did you know it was going to be big?
I always have faith in all my music. So I was like, "This is gonna be great!" And I was really young, too…I think I was 18 at the time when I met them?
And you're 22 now?
Yeah, I'm 22 now. And so I was like "Oh, this song's gonna be a great song!" And they're like "Yeah, it's big, we're liking it!" But we didn't know how big it was gonna get. I've been on a crazy, exciting road…
What was it like being part of their circle, of Macklemore and Ryan Lewis and everybody, when "Thrift Shop" started exploding? Did you think that was gonna happen? How did your life change at that point?
We had no clue what was gonna happen. You go and you do a song, it's like your baby, you're like "I hope my baby can succeed in life, and I hope it does good!" And out of like…it was like a night, I woke up the next morning, it's playing on the radio everywhere, everybody's talking about it. It was just crazy. And our team, we were just so shocked, like, "Oh my gosh!" We didn't know it was gonna be this crazy.
Did you know at that point that "Can't Hold Us" was gonna be the next song that they were gonna really push?
You know, we just focused one thing at a time. "Thrift Shop" was the thing, and so we were focusing on that, doing everything we could do to put that in the light and give it its respect that it deserves. And after we started doing a lot of press, people were talking about "Can't Hold Us." And so we decided it was gonna be the next single. And so now we've been pushing everything we can with "Can't Hold Us" now.
Were you a full-time musician when you got hooked up with those guys?
I sing in a Gospel choir. I sing in the Total Experience Gospel Choir. And I taught tennis lessons.
Are you still teaching tennis lessons?
No, not anymore! (Laughs) Not anymore, I'm a full-time singer/musician.
Did you have to have a conversation with your students, like, "I'm sorry guys, but I'm like a big pop star now, so we can't work on your backhand anymore"?
(Laughs) Nah, I just…the more crazy as we got, I kinda like didn't do as much. So I kinda eased out of it. And it was kinda hard to…just being a teacher, you want to be able to be a good teacher, and that's like, watching people develop, being there for them. And once you can't be there for them, you shouldn't be doing it. So it was just kinda like…something has to give.
So what's your life like now? Are people recognizing you in the street a lot?
Yeah, I walk down the street in my hometown, and sometimes people, they know who I am. And sometimes, they don't, which is fine, they don't need to know who I am. But it's very weird. It's very weird going out to shows and people are just like, "RAY!" They know my name, like, "Oh my gosh! This is a good thing, I hope I'm doing good!"
Do you like hearing your voice like everywhere? Are you sick of it yet?
I think it's a blessing. I think it's a blessing that I get to hear myself on the radio. The first time, I freaked out. I was with one of my friends, and we were in the car listening to the radio. And the next thing you know, "Can't Hold Us" comes on. And that was my first time hearing it on the radio. And we just stopped the car, and it was like "OH MY GOSH, OUR SONG'S ON THE RADIO!" And my family's always calling me, like "YOUR SONG'S ON THE RADIO!!" It's been a blessing. It's been really cool. It just makes me wanna work even harder, and do another song.
So what are your plans now? Do you have an album in the works?
Yes, I've been working on some music, but my main focus is the Macklemore camp. I'm a part of their team, and so I want to make sure that I can put as much as I can into their dream, and then when it's time for mine, we'll focus there.
Are you friends with those guys off-stage as well?
Oh yeah, oh yeah! We're really close.
You have any crazy stories, life on the road stuff?
Well, Ben dared me…We kinda had a bet going, and I lost it, so I had to get my ears pierced. (Laughs). I guess it's not too crazy of a story, but I was a wussy about it.
What was the bet over?
I forget what it was about, it was so stupid, it was so weird…Ben's so weird, he's a weirdo. [He said something] and I was like "Yeah, that's not true." And then he pulled something up, and I guess I was wrong, so he was like "You gotta get your ears pierced." But I thought he was joking… I was like "Yeah, whatever man," I didn't really even think about it.
And I was wrong, and he kept on saying every show…we were in Arizona, and he was like "We're gonna get it pierced." And then we wouldn't get it pierced. And then we'd be in California, "We're gonna get it pierced." I was like, "It was a joke!" And Ryan and Trisha our tour manager were like "Yeah, you have to get it now." And we went and just got it done.
Have you made use of the piercing at all?
Never in my life!
Are you and Wanz friends? Have you guys been hanging out at all?
Wanz is like the father of the group, kind of thing. So he's always on his own thing, and when we're on tour, 'coz there's so much going on, I kinda like to get away and go play tennis, play volleyball, go have lunch with the friends. So I only really hang out with Wanz on tour, coz when I'm home, I'm working on singing, playing tennis, visiting my family as much as my can.
So you're a pretty big tennis guy, I take it. You more of a Federer, Nadal or Djokovic man?
Oooh, that's hard! I don't like Nadal, I'm not a Nadal fan.
Why not?
He just beats all my favorite players! I'm a Federer fan, I love Federer. I love Djokovic too. I love Del Potro. Those three are my favorite players.
How was SNL? What was that like?
Oh man, it was so crazy. It happened so fast! So we went straight from New Zealand to New York. Did rehearsals. And at first we were a little overwhelmed, because we wanted to be good. Kendrick Lamar was on it, and Ben really looks up to Kendrick Lamar, really respects him, so he wanted to do a really good job, and we all did. And it ended up just like…somehow, just like we got this natural energy, and ended up just like screwing around on stage. And it came across looking good.
You guys look like you're having fun, certainly.
Oh yeah, that was what it needed to be. When you're having fun, that's when it's a great performance. We always want to look good at the same time, but mainly we want to have fun on stage. You don't want to look bored, or scared, or anything like that.

Sustaining Growth as the West Arrives at the Demographic Cliff
Are you worried about the economic outlook for your company, for your family and for your country? Do you suspect that current policies may be doing more harm than good? Are you interested in exploring a new analysis that focuses on the importance of people, rather than computer-based economic modelling?
This 30 minute video of a keynote presentation by Paul Hodges at a Metal-Pages conference explores:
- Why economic growth will be much slower for the next 20 years.
- Why interest rates will also continue to remain low in the major economies.
- Why policymakers are addressing the wrong issue when they worry about deflation.
- Why China cannot possibly replace the demand being lost in the West.
The blog has been running for 7 years. It looks behind the headlines, offering an independent viewpoint on the economic outlook and global demand trends. Major successes have included forewarning readers of the coming financial crash, and correctly forecasting its imminent arrival in early September 2008.

Andrew Bird in Studio on Talk of the Nation - 11/17/2005
Musician Andrew Bird defies easy categorization, mixing violin, guitar, glockenspiel and whistling with witty lyrics. Following his formal training as a violinist — and a stint in the hot jazz/swing revival scene — he has found a home playing solo in rock clubs across the globe.
"I sort of play with words and ideas, and they eventually kind of find their way into the nooks and crannies of the melodies," Bird says. He plays three songs from his latest album, The Mysterious Production of Eggs, live in NPR's Studio 3A.

Yes, Prime Minister Netanyahu, once again, was able to surprise us all with a new political move – the sudden announcement yesterday that the Likud Party and the Yisrael Beiteinu Party will be running together in this election cycle. Problem is, we don't know yet what Netanyahu and FM Avigdor Lieberman are trying to achieve by this move. Four theories come to mind:
A. The straightforward theory: These two parties will gain more mandates by running together. Yesterday, internal polls done by the parties were leaked to the press, according to which the new party will get around 50 mandates in the Knesset, more than Likud (27) and YB (15) have now. There's one problem with this theory: the first day-after poll gives the merged party just 33 mandates, instead of the 42 they have now - a meager achievement.
The poll is problematic. It was done when voters were still confused, and there are other numbers in it that seem like outliers – only nine mandates for Shas is one example. Moreover, it is hard to imagine the almost 10 mandates that suddenly disappeared. Who are all the people who were voting Likud and YB but can't tolerate the thought of the two parties together?
On the other hand, one can't imagine many new voters who would give the merged party more power than it has now. Religious parties of Likud might not be happy about the merging with the ultra-secular YB. Moderate voters might be frightened by the prospect of such a merged party gaining so much power. It is easier to think about reasons for which the new party will lose votes, than about reasons for which it will gain any. Having said that, it is clear that the merge was tested carefully by pollsters working with Netanyahu and Lieberman, and is also clear that these two men are shrewder that most others. So maybe they understand something that we can't yet see. We'll have to wait for more time to pass and more polls to come out.
B. The "Beware of Peres" theory: Netanyahu might have done this to escape any possibility of someone else being given the task of forming the next coalition. As this theory goes, Netanyahu was afraid that a decision to run by Ehud Olmert or Tzipi Livni – an announcement is likely early next week – will make election results inconclusive enough for the president, Shimon Peres, to give Netanyahu's rival a chance to form a coalition. By making YB part of his team, Netanyahu gains twice: 1. Even if the merged party does not get as many votes as the two leaders expect, one can't reasonably imagine another party getting close enough for it to get the chance to form a coalition. 2. By pulling Lieberman so close, Netanyahu insured himself against a decision by the YB leader to join an Olmert coalition – Lieberman and Olmert get along well – followed, possibly, by a Shas decision to do likewise – Lieberman is good friend of Shas' new-old leader, Aryeh Deri. With Lieberman by his side, YB can't abandon him, and Shas can't abandon him, as it would never do such a thing without the cover of having another right-wing party joining the same coalition.
C. Conspiracy theories: Netanyahu needs Lieberman to attack Iran before/after the election. Netanyahu and Lieberman plan to start a war against someone else. Netanyahu wants Lieberman as his successor. Netanyahu wants to get rid of IB as a potential rival. It is all an attempt to ready the next government for a second term Obama presidency.
D. The good theories: The two truly want to change the electoral system (if they do, Yair Lapid is likely to join forces with them). They want to draft Haredis to the military and need the votes. They think it really is time for Israel to rid itself of small à la carte parties (this is what they said in the press conference yesterday). They want stability. They want to limit the power of ideological parties of the right/religious to blackmail the ruling party.
So, which is it? I don't know. And as for those pretending to know – I don't trust them. Why? Because they didn't see this coming yesterday, and there's no reason to think they know today why it happened. Time will tell.

I upgraded from Fedora 10 to Fedora 12. Unfortunately, my ethernet interface eth0 is now named eth0_rename. I'd like to get back to having it named plain old eth0.
I googled a bit but the solution of removing the eth0 entry from /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules seems to have no effect (I restarted the network service but didn't reboot).
The interface works just fine although I could see a script or two having a problem with the format. So, it's more of an inconvenience thing than anything else.
Any ideas?

Almost anything, or anyone, can be found on Craigslist. The production team behind Tina Fey and Amy Poehler's new film, "The Nest", held this statement true when they posted an ad seeking cast members for the movie while filming in East Meadow, Long Island.
Vanity Fair reported June 20 that the comic duo's team posted an ad seeking professional manicurists/pedicurists to be a part of the movie.
The Craigslist's ad which states, "Seeking REAL PROFESSIONAL MANICURISTS/PEDICURISTS to Portray Female Korean Nail Salon Workers. This is PAID work, shooting TOMORROW 6/20 in East Meadow, Long Island with transportation provided from Manhattan if needed."
A representative with Universal confirmed with Vanity Fair that this ad indeed was legit. The post does not clarify if the manicurists will be interacting with Fey or Poehler in the movie, but still remains a fun gig.
'The Nest", a film about two sisters, played by Fey and Poehler, coming together when their parents' home is up for sale. The sisters then collaborate for one last wild weekend. Co-stars in this widely-talked about film include Maya Rudolph, Ike Barinholtz, John Leguizamo, and James Brolin. Fey and Jay Roach will produce the film which will be directed by "Pitch Perfect"'s Jason Moore.
The first photos from the film can be found on Huffpost. Barinholtz took to Instagram to share a photo of Fey, Poehler, and himself while filming. "The Nest" is scheduled to hit theaters December 18, 2015.

Case Details
One of Defendant Cortes-Eliosa's victims was his wife, whom he had married in San Francisco, Mexico. They traveled together to New York City, where Defendant Cortes-Eliosa wanted his bride to support herself as a prostitute, which she did reluctantly. She was to earn the money he spent on bringing her to the United States through prostitution income. The defendant was forcing at least two other women to work at the same brothel where his wife was working.

A couple new mid-range DX 10.1 based desktop graphics cards will squeeze into NVIDIA's lineup next week, these being the GeForce GT210 and GT 220.
The folks at TechConnect have gotten an early scoop on a GT 220 offering from MSI which comes factory overclocked.
The GT216-powered GT 220 features 48 Processing Cores, a 128-bit memory interface, 1GB of GDDR3 memory, and D-Sub, DVI, plus HDMI outputs.
MSI's cards lacks SLI support and has clocks which have yet to be revealed. Keep in mind though that the stock GT 220 has GPU/shader/memory clocks of (about) 615/1335/1580 MHz, so this OC version will be faster than that. Expect the MSI GeForce GT 220 OC to cost under 80 Euro.

Apple's sleek new iMac is hard to produce. Supply is constrained and the 21.5-inch model is facing large delays and the 27-inch hasn't launched yet. Apple had announced on November 30 that the new 27-inch version of the iMac would be shipping within 3 to 4 weeks, though that has now been changed.
The new shipping estimate places the Available to Ship time as January. No date, no week estimates, nothing solid to go on, other than the units will be available to ship sometime in January. This could mean that the systems will be shipping as late as the end of the month, especially if Apple is facing supply constraints and other delays.

Could it be that Britney Spears is ready to walk down the aisle again?
After a report surfaced on TMZ that the singer's longtime beau and "Criminal" co-star Jason Trawick planned to pop the question Friday night (December 16) in Las Vegas, the singer took to Twitter early Friday and had this mysterious message for her fans.
"OMG. Last night Jason surprised me with the one gift I've been waiting for," she wrote. "Can't wait to show you! SO SO SO excited!!!! Xxo"
A rep for the singer hadn't responded to MTV News' request for comment by press time, but sources confirmed the news to People magazine. TMZ further reports that Jason asked Britney's dad, Jamie, for his daughter's hand before he popped the question. According to reports, Britney already knew about the engagement and the couple will sign a prenuptial agreement.
As for her conservatorship, her conservators have signed off on the couple's plans to marry; a judge will most likely give them the go-ahead to tie the knot.
A source tells Usmagazine.com that Trawick asked his lady love to marry him on Thursday night while the two were at a romantic dinner celebrating his 40th birthday. The couple will celebrate the engagement at Planet Hollywood in Las Vegas on Friday. "This is something they've both wanted for a long time," the source told the site. "It's a way to cement their family. They're both extremely happy and can't wait to become man and wife."
The Neil Lane ring is a four-carat, round-cut diamond with micro pave diamonds around the band, according to E! News. "It's classic, simple and beautiful," a rep for the jewelry company told the site. The rep added that Trawick worked with the designer to design a "dream ring" for his future wife.
While there's no confirmation from Spears' camp just yet about the engagement, Spears did reveal something on Twitter: what she bought Jason for his birthday.
"Hbday Jason! He looked so cool in the video, that I had to get him a new motorcycle," she wrote. "Check out this new Confederate Bike I got him!"
Send congrats to Britney and tell us your thoughts on Facebook!

I was sitting in my recliner on a chilly March day a little over three years ago when my phone rang. Answering it, I heard, "We want you to come down to the bowling alley and pick up your prize." Prize? I knew the women's league bowling tournament was taking place that day but I hadn't entered it. Three weeks prior to the tournament, I'd had a mastectomy after being diagnosed with Stage 2 breast cancer.
I asked how could I have won a prize when I wasn't even in the tournament. "Just come down to the bowling alley and pick up your prize," came the reply.
Entering the bowling alley, I was met by some women who handed me a large plastic bag. "Open it," one of the women said. So I did. "Take out what's in there," she said. My mouth fell open when I withdrew a bright yellow, incredibly soft, handmade blanket.
"What on earth?" I asked in amazement.
"That's your cuddle blanket," one of the women said. "It's to help keep you warm while you are resting in your recliner. We all know what you've been going through and we wanted you to have something special. So we had this blanket made for you."
Through tears, I smiled at them and gave each one a hug. "Thank you," I told them. "Every time I use this blanket I'll remember every one of you and I know I'll feel the love and care that went into its making."
A month following the surgery I began a five and a half month course of chemotherapy. The first four treatments were every other week. Two weeks after the fourth treatment I started the 12 weekly treatments. Having gone through it all, I know now why some people are unable to do the 12 solid weeks of chemo and need a break. I understand why some simply can't continue and opt to terminate their treatments.
In an effort to in some way give back all the wonderful things people did for me, I decided to spread the word about cuddle blankets.
Blankets, either hand sewn, knitted, crocheted, or purchased, will be welcomed either at the chemotherapy center or by individuals who are having chemo and/or radiation treatments. Everyone making this journey appreciates receiving anything that lifts their spirits.
Now it's three and a half years since my mastectomy. And I still use my cuddle blanket. It warms me as no other blanket ever could.

Quarterback Adams overcomes mistakes with two touchdown passes in final 2:19 to cap comeback at Roos
October 4, 2012 | volume 116, issue 24
Paul Delaney
Eastern Washington's Brandon Kaufman beats Montana's Sean Murray in the second quarter for the first of his two touchdown catches in the Eagles' dramatic come-from-behind 32-26 Big Sky football victory last Saturday at Roos Field. Kaufman also caught a TD pass during Eastern's rally that saw them score twice in the final 2:19 of the game.
The one thing any team facing Eastern Washington University on the football field should always remember is that the game's never over until the clock hits zero.
And the thing the Montana Grizzlies will never forget now is how a 9-point lead as the clock approached the 2-minute mark was still not enough of a cushion to win.
Quarterback Vernon Adams literally scrambled his way out of a nightmare time midway through the fourth quarter, throwing a pair of touchdown passes in the final 2 minutes, 19 seconds to rally No. 7 Eastern to a 32-26 Big Sky Conference win over the Griz before a packed...

I thought that something a little different might be fun for Christmas this year. Here is an adaptation of the original Brothers Grimm story of Santa Claus. Before proceeding, and yes Santa was a Grimm creation before his legend changed over the centuries, realize that the Grimm fairy tales are massively different from the stories most Americans tell their children before bedtime. The Brothers Grimm were Eastern European, and lived about 150 years ago. Terrible things happened to children who disobeyed their parents or to people who disobeyed the rules of a ordered society. The tale of Santa Claus is no different from the other works of the Brothers Grimm. So, if this is likely to upset your sensibilities, do not proceed.
As for me, I enjoy a tale of irony which I can promise you this, will deviate from the same old same old that comes with a non stop television diet of Tim Allen and George Bailey.
You will be able to download the printed version by clicking here.

sfdebris is a website maintained by a reasonably funny guy named Charles Sonnenburg, whom I have never met personally, nor even virtually. This adaptation of the original Brothers Grimm tale of Santa Claus, and the curse that made him was written and narrated by Sonnenburg. I hope you've enjoyed it as much as I have.

Fast shipping, exactly what I was looking for, and best price online

I bought this item to mount a couple of gauges outside on the cowl grille on my S10. I needed something that was adaptable since I wasn't sure how I would end up mounting it.Other reviewers have said this is plastic. It's not. The base is a solid piece of steel and the screws attach the clamp securely to the base, holding it in the desired position without much chance of slipping. It has a fairly wide range of swivel around the screw, so as to obtain the desired angle of viewing.
