CINNAMON– It is great for killing airborne bacteria and it's a natural insect repellent. It's an antidepressant as it has been shown to elevate moods. It is also good for pain relief. Simply mix 2-3 drops with 1/2 a cup of carrier/base oil and massage onto affected area. You may also put a few drops into a pot of boiling water or in a bath to elevate your mood by inhaling the steam.
GRAPEFRUIT– Grapefruit gives uplifting energy, boosts emotions and decreases anxiety and stress. You can diffuse to sharpen focus and even apply to insect bites to alleviate discomfort.
BODY SCRUB: 1/2 cup extra virgin coconut oil, 1/2 cup brown sugar, 10 drops peppermint oil and 25 drops grapefruit oil.
PEPPERMINT– Inhale peppermint oil to calm an upset stomach. Menthol in peppermint provides relief from respiratory illnesses such as asthma, bronchitis, cold and cough. Add 1 drop peppermint oil to carrier oil and massage onto the temples for headache relief. Peppermint oil can provide energy and alertness before and during a workout. Do you have an ant problem? Put a few drops of oil on a cotton ball and place in the path of ants and watch them go away.
LAVENDER– FRENCH is more floral and BAVARIAN more rich and robust and used in perfume. Lavender is used to relax, calm and balance. Trouble sleeping? Add a few drops to the underside of your pillow to aide in a restful night sleep.
YLANG YLANG– Balances hormones, promotes healthy skin and hair and lifts mood. Place a few drops in shampoo for healthy hair and add to carrier oil for healthy skin. Diffuse with Grapefruit in your home for energy.
◦ A glass bottle or small vase with a narrow opening
◦ Warm water
◦ Essential oil of choice (20-30 drops)
◦ Dried twigs
That's it! The twigs soak up the liquid and the scent fills the air.
Water is a driving force of all nature; it is amazing! Feeling sleepy at work? Drink water. Blood sugar levels gone awry? Drink water. Did you know we found the fountain of youth? WATER! Drink water to look younger and feel younger. It moisturizes the skin to maintain its texture and appearance. Trouble going to sleep? Drink water a few hours before bed. Do you get overly heated easily? Drink water. It is fuel for your muscles and prevents you from getting muscle cramps and strains. Water is a ph regulator. Our body PH should be about 7.4. PH levels less than 6.9 and greater than 7.6 are life threatening. If your body is too acidic you will be more susceptible to illness. An alkaline body is a happy body. Water balances our electrolytes and its a temperature regulator. Guess what? We are supposed to sweat!! Water is needed for most body functions, including to maintain the health and integrity of every cell in the body.
People need to increase their fluid intake when they are:
•on a high-protein diet
•on a high-fiber diet, as fluids help prevent constipation
•pregnant or breastfeeding
•vomiting or have diarrhea
•physically active
•exposed to warm or hot conditions.
Symptoms of dehydration
•mood changes and slow responses
•dry nasal passages
•dry or cracked lips
•dark-colored urine
•confusion and hallucinations.
Dehydration occurs when the water content of the body is too low. This is easily fixed by increasing fluid intake.
• Coffee, tea, soda, alcohol, and energy drinks are not water.
These drinks contain water, but also contain dehydrating agents.
Probiotics are "good bacteria", or some yeast, for your digestive system. You can think of them like dogs, not all are the same. A Great Dane is different than Chihuahua. The most important strains of bacteria are Lactobacilli, Biffidobacterium. Saccharomyces Boulardii (yeast) is an excellent thing to take to combat diarrhea. It is a great idea to take to countries like India and Mexico when you aren't sure about the water.
Manufacture B complex vitamins and Vitamin K
Break down polyphenols and flavonoids
Balances body PH
Digest lactose and proteins
Increase absorption of minerals
Regulates serum lipids like cholesterol and triglycerides
Activates T regulatory cells- Puts breaks on overactive autoimmune system.
Yogurt, Kefir, miso, tempeh,sauerkraut, kimchee, raw pickles, root and ginger beers, olives, kombucha, buttermilk, sourdough, green beans, soft fermented cheese like Parmesan, Gouda and Swiss, micro brewed beer and red wine.
When using supplements look for ones with lactobacillus 1-100 billion or higher. Bifidobacteria 10-100 billion. When taking S. Boulardii take 500mg-3g daily. If you want to regulate you digestive system, take 1-10 billion but if you recently were on antibiotics you need to take 50-100 billion.
If probiotics don't have an environment where they can thrive, they can't do as much good — and that's where prebiotics come in. Prebiotics are non-digestible fibers that help good bacteria flourish inside your intestines. Found in foods like legumes, oatmeal, onions and artichokes, prebiotics help strike the right digestive balance inside your body. According to Dr. B.J. Hardick, consuming the proper foods should give you a healthy dose of both: "When consuming cultured foods as part of a balanced diet, you're going to consume a great variety of probiotics, and eating a variety of fruits, vegetables and whole grains will offer the necessary prebiotics needed for probiotic metabolism," says Hardick. "Both are necessary for healthy GI function."
Polyphenols: A generic term for the several thousand plant-based molecules that have antioxidant properties
Green tea, Red wine, Apples, Onions, Dark chocolate
1tsp kefir grains
1 cup milk
Combine grains and milk into a pint size glass jar and cover with cheesecloth or a washcloth and close tightly with a rubber band. Let sit at room temperature for about 24 hours. Strain the grains from the kefir and refrigerate your kefir.
Enough cucumber to fill a quart size jar
2 tbsp pink salt
2 cups water
1/2 cup vinegar
2 garlic cloves
1 sprig Fresh dill
1 tsp Dill seed
1 grape leaf
Combine water, vinegar and salt. Put pickles into jar. Add garlic and dill. Pour water combo over cucumbers. Place 1 grape leaf on top. Place a smaller jar filled with water over the cucumbers to keep them submerged. Cover and let sit on counter for 5 days to 2 weeks. Check occasionally until they are to your liking. ENJOY.]]>
Pacific Islanders refer to the coconut palm as the "Tree of Life" because they believe coconut oil cures all ailments. On many islands coconut is a staple in the diet and provides the majority of the food eaten. Nearly one third of the world's population depends on coconut to some degree for their food and their economy.
Difference between coconut milk, water, juice, oil and butter:
Coconut milk is made from the flesh of the coconut
Coconut juice/water (no real difference) is the liquid that is stored inside a young coconut; as the fruit ages, the liquid solidifies into the meat. The juice is considered "natures sports drink" as it is high in electrolytes a low in sodium.
Coconut butter is made from the whole flesh including the oil, and puréed into a spread (coconut Butter is 65% oil by nature).
Coconut oil is just the oil pressed from the flesh. Always look for virgin cold pressed as it is the least processed.
Coconut oil is where all the healthy goodness comes from. Coconut oil is described as the healthiest oil on earth. Well, what makes this oil different than all the others? The difference is in the fat molecule. All fats and oils are comprised of fatty acids; Short chain fatty acids, medium chain fatty acids and long chain fatty acids. Almost 100% of all fatty acids consumed are long chain fatty acids. Coconut oil contains medium chain fatty acids or medium chain triglycerides (MCT's). MCFA are very different from LCFA. They do not have a negative effect on cholesterol and help to protect against heart disease. MCFA help to lower the risk of both atherosclerosis and heart disease. It is primarily due to the MCFA in coconut oil that makes it so special and so beneficial.
Here at OTM we use coconut milk in our smoothies and we sell a great coconut oil to use in cooking or for medicinal purposes.
Here we are in America and suddenly we are faced with an obesity epidemic. We use video games to "exercise". Fast food is all around us, even supermarkets make meals as easy as possible with rotisserie chicken and frozen pizza dinners. Is it any wonder when we do exercise that we don't know what to eat before or even after a workout to make us feel good and perform to the best of our abilities? Here is a little something to make it a little easier. Most important thing though is to listen to your body and notice how you feel. Drink plenty of water.
I love reaching for a banana right before or after a workout because it gives me the necessary energy for my workout and the potassium in the banana helps with cramps. I also love apples, grapes, oranges and pears. You can even make a fruit salad for something fun.
Try this combination next time you work out: dried cranberrries, dried mango, dried apples, sunflower seeds, raw pumpkin seeds and almonds. Be creative, have fun. I add animal cookies and yogurt pretzels for my daughter.
Okay so I don't like the texture of the EPIC bison, bacon and cranberry bar but it makes me feel great! Another great option are the raw revolution bars; specifically, Spirulina Dream. Spirulina is an amazing superfood and gives you a ton of energy.
Old town market has some amazing smoothies to try or you can create your own at home. Do some research and find the protein powder that's best for you. Pea protein has recently become popular because it's gluten free, dairy free and soy free.
Nothing makes you feel like a kid again than eating a peanut butter and jelly/jam sandwich. I look for a peanut butter that has the least amount of ingredients. I found one with just peanuts and salt. Steer clear of ones with added sugar and partially hydrogenated oils. I make my own jam using only chia seeds, strawberries, agave and vanilla. It's an amazing energy boost and it tastes great!
Happy workout and always remember to smile and have fun]]>

Now the Aztecs ate pond scum?
Yes, pond scum; the green stuff you see floating on lakes. It's actually amazingly good for you! It's called Spirulina. It has a long history of helping to sustain the food chain as it provides the fundamental nutrients for all life. Not only was it found in Mexico originally, but in Lake Chad in central Africa as well. Spirulina thrives in warm salt and fresh water. It may be considered a blue-green algae but it is actually a bacteria that contains a ton of chlorophyll. Using photosynthesis, Spirulina converts sunlight into pure protein, fatty acids, carbohydrates and nearly every other nutrient essential to life.
People have been eating dried Spirulina for thousands of years. It was a main source of protein for over 500 years in Mexico. Cortez and his conquistadores discovered Spirulina while dining with the aztecs. Naturally, people had to figure out why someone would want to eat pond scum.
So the tests were made, and…WOW!
Spirulina is super high in antioxidants which will destroy free radicals can protect the body against cancer, infections, diabetes and heart disease. Spirulina is also full of antimicrobial properties that destroy bad bacteria and viruses like HIV-1, Enterovirus, measles, mumps and influenza A. Spirulina boosts the immune system creating more killer cells to destroy pathogens. It can also destroy fungal pathogens like Candida.
Children were given Spirulina after they were exposed to the radiation form the Chernobyl nuclear disaster and the results were astounding. Soviet physicians at the Institute of Radiation Medicine in Minsk administered 5 grams of Sprulina daily to some of the affected children for 45 consecutive days. The children showed bone marrow, spinal fluid, blood cell and liver regeneration, increased white blood cell counts and decreased urine radioactivity levels by 50 percent in 20 days (organic burst).
Dr. Brickford, a professor at the University of Florida Center Aging and Brain Repair, proved that Spirulina reduced degeneration of the brain of aged animals while decreasing pro-inflammatory cytokines in the brain(cyanotech). DO YOU UNDERSTAND? Spirulina reversed the effects of aging on animals and made them think like a young animal. Imagine being 70 years old and being able to be quick on your feet like a thirty year old. Imagine if there was a study using Spirulina and its effects on Alzheimers?
Improves physical energy
Combats insomnia
You can get it in a pill or I like the powdered form because I can mix it in:
Where can I find Spirulina?
At health food stores or sometimes in the vitamin isle of the grocery store. We sell Spirulina here at Old Town Market in powder form, you can get it mixed into one of our delicious smoothies or juices. We also have a raw revolution energy bar that has Spirulina mixed in it.
Here is our featured smoothie using Spirulina
Chia seed
Apple juice
Please come check us out at OTM and try Spirulina today!

There it is, that gelatinous slimy substance everyone keeps talking about. "It's good for you" they tell me, and I see something that reminds me of boogers. In its dry form, I see bird seed ingredients. "Why did our ancestors eat birdseed" I wonder? As a child I saw it on commercials with a catchy little jingle and I thought it was funny. Today it is sweeping through the health community like a wild fire. It is an amazing little seed. A delicious trending superfood.
CHIA–the ancient grain that made super heroes out of the Aztecs
Chia is a flowering plant from the mint family and it is native to southern Mexico and Guatemala. This little seed was used by the Aztecs and Mayans for food, mixed in food, as medicine, it was ground into flour and even pressed into oil. Chia was considered so powerful and important that it was even offered to the gods during religious ceremonies. The Aztecs believed it gave them "super powers" because it provided them with long term energy and strength while hunting. "CHIA" is the Aztec word meaning "Strength".

Cut to Medicare could have big impact in Wyoming
Laramie, WY – The president of the American Academy of Family Physicians says some Wyoming doctors may not be willing to see new Medicare patients if Congress goes ahead with plans to cut Medicare reimbursements by 21 percent. The issue is scheduled to be debated by Congress on Monday. Academy President Dr. Roland Goertz says that doctors across the country say they would be hard pressed to take on new Medicare patients if the cuts go through, "61.8% of our membership who have ownership equity in their practices, would stop accepting new Medicare patients altogether," Goertz says. "And that 72% of physicians surveyed would actively limit appointment slots for Medicare patients across the board."
In Wyoming, Goertz says many rural doctors would have trouble maintaining their practices if the cuts go through. He says 30 to 40 percent their doctors' patients are on Medicare.

Bad allergic reaction....
Posted by Reviewer1241730 on Jan 03, 2013
A few days after using this soap, I developed small itchy red bumps all over. I even manage to get two large patches on my thigh and back. My doctor stated it might be an allergic reaction to food but I am not allergic to food. I eat seafood all the time and never had any skin issues. This is the 2nd time I used Kiss my face soap. The 1st time I used the Olive and Green tea soap, I had a horrible red inflamed patch all over my waist. I was taking antibiotics "keflex" at the time and thought that was the caused. Now I am positive that the soap caused it. I then tried the Olive and Aloe soap. Instead of the inflamed red rashes that wasn't itchy, I now see tiny red bumps all over my thigh and stomach. It's a great product, but just not for my skin type.

Lisht tries to auto sort any new item to one of four pre-defined lists. Shop is your shopping list, Home is any errands, Desk is for correspondence and other business stuff and Out is for errands and meetings.
It uses simple rules to decide what goes where, and these rules are fully editable.
For example "buy milk" will go straight to the shopping list, as it starts with the word "buy"
"clean the kitchen" goes to home as it starts with "clean"
"meet brian" goes to out
"eggs" by itself goes to shop, as the rules include a list of common groceries.
If you find something doesn't end up in the right list, simply change the rules.
I'm working on lots of extra stuff at the moment including cloud sync and a version for Windows 8. Please try Lisht out and let me know what you think!

Dev, so far I like what I've seen in limits usage. Would add double wide tile though. You could possibly add a list specific support to the double wide tile though for ether the app itself or for lists from the app. In other words, if you add the option to pin the list from in the app itself to the start menu, you can do a double wide tile and on the back when the tile flips over, I can get a small preview of the list by showing the first few items on the list. Just a possible way to be different from some of the other list apps out there...

It's a joke I often hear when I tell people I work at Drew University. The standard version goes something like this: "An engineer looks at an idea and asks, 'How does it work?' An accountant looks at it and asks, 'How much does it cost?' And a liberal arts graduate looks at the same idea and asks, 'You want fries with that?'"
My initial reaction to this hackneyed criticism of the liberal arts is to take pity on my interlocutors; they have obviously not had the advantage of the very education they feebly seek to denigrate. And then the teacher in me--or, what is essentially the same thing, the fundraiser--takes over. This is one of those perfect teaching moments, I tell myself, and I embrace the opportunity to show these tired, oh-so-astute critics of the liberal arts the error of their ways.

Lots of stars pocket huge sums for starring in foreign TV commercials.
George Clooney is one of them — but most probably don't invest a chunk of it in international intrigue, as he does.
The actor said he uses most of the cash he makes from his commercials for Swiss coffee-machine maker Nespresso to pay for a satellite aimed at Sudan.
He keeps the satellite hovering "over the border of north and south Sudan to keep an eye on Omar al-Bashir," the Sudanese dictator charged with war crimes by the International Criminal Court.
"Then he puts out a statement saying that I'm spying on him, and how would I like it if a camera was following me everywhere I went? And I go, 'Well, welcome to my life, Mr. War Criminal.' I want the war criminal to have the same amount of attention that I get. I think that's fair."
Clooney's spy program, the Satellite Sentinel Project, monitors potential human-rights abuses in Sudan. The project tracks movements of al- Bashir's army and tries to warn civilians in advance of attacks.

Woody Allen's adopted daughter talks frankly about her memories of childhood sexual abuse.
Woody Allen is a beloved American writer and director, responsible for such classic hits as Annie Hall, Manhattan, and Midnight in Paris. Most recently, his film Blue Jasmine has been receiving plenty of critical accolades and Oscar buzz.
However, it is not only his films that have made headlines. In 1992, Allen and his partner Mia Farrow split up after she discovered that Allen had taken naked pictures of her adopted daughter, Soon-Yi Farrow Previn. Despite his ten-year-relationship with Farrow and his longtime role in Soon-Yi's life as a father figure, Allen then went on to date and eventually marry Farrow's now estranged daughter.
Around the same time, Farrow also made allegations of sexual abuse against Woody Allen. She says that he molested their other adopted daughter, Dylan, and subsequently asked the judge to deny custody to Allen. The court found her allegations inconclusive, but Farrow was given sole custody of the children and Allen was not permitted visitation rights with Dylan.
Now, decades later, daughter Dylan has spoken out about the sexual abuse allegations for the first time. In the November 2013 issue of Vanity Fair, Dylan talks about her fear of Allen and how she was terrified to testify against him, saying "I'm scared of him, his image…If I could talk to the 7-year-old Dylan, I would tell her to be brave, to testify."
Dylan also discusses her early memories of the abuse, as well as the time she finally decided to tell her mother, saying "[It] made me think I was a bad kid, because I didn't want to do what my elder told me to do… I was cracking. I had to say something. I was 7. I was doing it because I was scared. I wanted it to stop."
For anyone who has ever suffered childhood sexual abuse, Dylan's traumatic experience probably hits very close to home. When a child is abused, their abuser often manages to convince that the abuse is their fault, or that they were somehow flirting or asking for that type of sexual attention. Instead of framing it as abuse, the abuser frames it as a "special" relationship between them, a relationship which must be kept be private above all else. He might even make the victim feel special with gifts, affection, and plenty of rewards for her continued silence. Although this might make the child feel complicit in her abuse, the reality is that it's just all part of the abuser's plan to manipulate and control her.
Sadly, many times when children come forward about their sexual abuse, they are often not believed. They are told that they were "confused" or that they "imagined" the horrible things that they endured. The pain of not being believed can almost be as heart-wrenching as the abuse itself, because the child is being told that her truth, her experiences, and her reality are less important than saving face and appearing like a perfect family.
The far-reaching impacts of childhood sexual abuse cannot be overstated. Victims of sexual abuse are much more likely to abuse drugs and alcohol, consider suicide, and suffer from depression and anxiety. However, the good news is that, with treatment, you can survive childhood sexual abuse and rebuild your life. Hearing brave stories from survivors about their own experiences can go a long way in helping others to reclaim their lives and let go of the pain of the past. If you or someone you know has suffered sexual abuse, please visit the Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network.

Waterfowl Studies
Waterfowl monitoring is an essential component of any biological abatement or assessment program that has huntable populations of waterfowl close to contaminated habitat or food sources. In today's world, the associations between human habitations and pristine aquatic environs are becoming less and less frequent. Corporate managers and governing agencies are increasingly being called upon to demonstrate scientifically-defensible policies regarding public health and general population exposure limits. While fish consumption advisories have been widely posted on contaminated waterways for years, similar warnings for human consumption of waterfowl would be largely ineffective because of the highly mobile nature of ducks and geese. Human health risks, even from uncontaminated birds, can occur when waterfowl take up residence near airport runways, or inhabit public beaches - causing dangerously high bacterial counts in water from fecal deposition. An effective waterfowl monitoring program can give managers the tools they need to educate local communities, and minimize the public's exposure to unnecessary health risks. Data from waterfowl monitoring programs have even been used to help ease federal restrictions on waterfowl, allowing individual states more control over resident waterfowl populations.
Surveys have been conducted, at varying (1-4x/mo) frequencies over the last decade, in which all waterfowl along a given route are recorded. This has resulted in the formation of an extensive database, put together by experienced personnel aided by the use of high-quality optics and field-portable computers. In addition to waterfowl observations, incidental sightings of all unusual birds (e.g., rare, out of typical range, state- or federally-listed species) are recorded.
A roundup of Canada geese is conducted each summer, during their flightless molt period. This allows for the attachment of neck-collars and/or leg-bands (for future identification of individuals in the field), and for the off-site translocation of nuisance geese. It also provides the opportunity to obtain data on whole-body radioactivity levels (~400 geese scanned since 1995) and to remove contaminated individuals from the population.
Waterfowl monitoring results are available for sites in:

'Say on Pay' Changes Ways
Companies that failed to win the support of a majority of shareholders last year in advisory votes on executive pay are working hard to avoid an embarrassing repeat as annual meeting season begins again. Already two of those companies—technical-services firm Jacobs Engineering Group Inc. and home builder Beazer Homes USA Inc.–have persuaded shareholders to support them this year. Their efforts to align executive pay with performance underscore how seriously companies take "say on pay" votes.

Meet King Arthur's daughter - Rhianna Pendragon!
You didn't know King Arthur had a daughter…? Well, that's because she was taken to the enchanted isle of Avalon as a baby to grow up with the fairy people. Her friend Elphin is a prince of Avalon and can work magic with his harp, which is just as well since King Arthur's druid Merlin is getting old and forgetful. Cai is a squire who dreams of being a famous knight like his father, even though he's more likely to drop his lance than hit anyone with it, and Arianhrod becomes Rhianna's maid at Camelot after escaping the clutches of Mordred's witch-mother Morgan le Fay.
If you ask him nicely the unicorn may bring you a few Arthurian legends during the rest of this year, but you're going to have to wait until the first book is published to find out what happens to Rhianna and her friends when they set out on the ultimate quest that killed Arthur's bravest knights…
Here is the official press release:
Templar have acquired an epic four book fantasy series for 9+ readers from award-winning fantasy author Katherine Roberts.
SWORD OF LIGHT, Book 1 of The Pendragon Legacy, will be published in February 2012. Set in the Dark Ages following the death of legendary King Arthur, the series follows the adventures of Arthur's daughter, Rhianna, as she sets out to reunite the four magical lights and restore her father's soul to his body.
Helen Boyle, Templar's commissioning fiction editor, says: "We're so excited to be publishing this four book series from Katherine Roberts. The minute I read the first chapter I knew it was something special. Katherine has created a gripping quest-based adventure series, with a really feisty female main character. Add to this a sprinkling of elvish and druid magic, action-packed battle scenes and, in Mordred, a truly twisted villain, and I know readers will be hooked. Our fiction list is developing a some real momentum at the moment and I was looking for some more core 8-12 fiction to complement the rich teen list we've developed. Rhianna Pendragon appeared out of the mists of Avalon and we're delighted to give her and Katherine a home at Templar Fiction."
Katherine Roberts comments: "As a big fan of Arthurian fantasy, I've always wanted to write my own version of the legend but didn't want to repeat the old stories. When I found red-haired Rhianna, King Arthur's daughter, hiding on the enchanted island of Avalon, I knew she would make a great young warrior princess to carry the Pendragon legend to a new generation. It was important to me that the whole series should be contracted up front, so I am delighted Templar share my vision for these books and am thrilled to be joining such an exciting new fiction list."
Founded in 1978, Templar has become one of the world's most respected publishers and packagers of illustrated children's fiction, novelty and picture books. In 2008 Templar was recognised by the Independent Publisher's Guild as UK Children's Publisher of the Year and Independent Publisher of the Year. Templar joined the Bonnier Group in September 2008 and launched its fiction list in 2009. You'll find their blog in the list below.

This is an easy way to decorate your room and add color, by upcycling old floppy disks, which are now useless.
What you will need:
- Floppy disks
- Hot Glue
- Scissors
- Plants
How to make it:
Heat up the glue and squeeze a thin line onto the edge of a disk and attach it to the second disk's edge. Keep going until you've gone all the way around. For the bottom, glue four edges of your fifth disk and attach!
If you want to add soil and plant directly to the floppy disk planter that you just created, you should use a more secure sealing method or a plate to sit on for excess water flow. We propose to use it as a decorative planter and put in it your plant with its own plastic pot it comes in. If it does not fit, use scissors to cut off the rim. If you're planting something from scratch, you can reuse an old yogurt container.
Optionally, you can use floppy disk labels to name your plants and to make notes about how to care for them.

Still waiting for the birth of my grandchild and still trying to put the time spent here in Boston to good use.
That means I'm taking pictures.
Black and white seems appropriate to the photos, but not really reflective of my current state of mood (playful and upbeat, thank you).
The Prudential building is the tallest building in Boston. There's an observation deck on the 50th floor that has a great view of the city and is awesomely well suited for taking pictures. Entrance to the observation deck costs twelve dollars. Seems kind of steep, but you're not going to get that view anywhere else in the entire city.
It was an overcast and lightly snowy day. I waited until just before sundown and dashed over to the Prudential building (which is really close to where my daughter lives).
It was closed. The observation deck, not the Prudential Building.
I could've called it a day, but it just seemed too easy to give up without looking for a plan "B".
So, I just sort of walked over to the elevator and rode it up to the 52nd floor. On the 52nd floor is a 5 star restaurant called "Top of the Hub". Sure, I had tennis shoes on, but apparently it was either a slow day or they just don't have all that strict of a dress code.
I tweeted and Instagram'd about enjoying a Sam Adams Beer (with a side of cheeseburger and fries) as I relaxed, composed shots and snapped a few pictures through my window from my table in the clouds.
I think Robeert B. Parker would've been proud of me.

Air Pollution as a Climate Forcing: A Workshop
Day 4 Presentations
Global Impact of Outdoor Particulate Air Pollution

The serious consequences of exposure to high levels of ambient air pollution were made clear in the mid-20th century when cities in Europe and the United States experienced air pollution episodes, such as the infamous 1952 London fog, that resulted in a sharp increase in acute health problems including many deaths. Subsequent clean air legislation and other actions reduced ambient air pollution in many regions. However, recent epidemiological studies, using sensitive designs and analyses, have identified important health effects of combustion-derived air pollution even at the low ambient concentrations typical of Western European and North American cities(1-6). At the same time, the populations of the rapidly expanding mega-cities of Asia, Africa and Latin America are increasingly exposed to levels of ambient air pollution that rival and often exceed those experienced in developed countries in the first half of the 20th century (7).
Urban air pollution is largely and increasingly the result of the combustion of fossil fuels for transport, power generation and other human activities. All combustion processes produce particles that are small enough to be inhaled into the lung, either as primary emissions, such as from diesel engines, or via subsequent atmospheric transformation, such as when sulphur dioxide, produced by the oxidation of sulphur in fuel combines with ammonia to form sulphate particles.
Air pollution from combustion sources is associated with a broad spectrum of acute and chronic health effects (3,4), the nature of which may vary with the pollutant constituents. Particulate air pollution is nevertheless consistently and independently related to the most serious effects, including lung cancer and other cardio-pulmonary mortality (1,5,6). The aim of the present project was to estimate attributable deaths and estimated life-years lost due to particulate outdoor air pollution in all major cities of the world.
The availability of measurements of ambient concentrations of particulate matter (PM) varies widely across the globe, making estimation of annual average concentrations in all cities a considerable challenge. We collected as much available PM measurement data as possible, but in order to provide estimates all 14 WHO regions, we relied on models developed by the World Bank to estimate PM10 (particulate matter with aerodynamic diameter <10 micrometres) using econometric data and the available PM10 measurements (available for several hundred cities) for 3226 cities with populations greater than 100,000 plus capital cities. These PM10 estimates were converted to PM2.5 (fine particles that tend to penetrate more deeply into the lung) using available information on geographic variation in the ratio of PM2.5 to PM10. Data on the percentage of urban dwellers was used to derive population-weighted annual averages for each PM metric.
We calculated four estimates of impact: mortality from cardio-pulmonary causes in adults, mortality from lung cancer, mortality from all-natural causes in adults and in children 0-5, and mortality from acute respiratory infections in children 0-5. Risk coefficients from a large United States cohort study of adults (1) were used to calculate attributable numbers of deaths and years-of-life lost for adults and children (<5 yr.).="yr.)." impact="Impact" estimates="estimates" were="were" calculated="calculated" over="over" a="a" range="range" of="of" annual="annual" average="average" concentrations="concentrations" of="of" pm2.5="PM2.5" between="between" 7.5="7.5" and="and" 50="50" micrograms="micrograms" per="per" cubic="cubic" meter.="meter." the="The" uncertainty="uncertainty" of="of" the="the" estimates="estimates" was="was" quantified="quantified" by="by" propagating="propagating" the="the" errors="errors" in="in" the="the" estimates="estimates" of="of" annual="annual" average="average" concentration="concentration" and="and" the="the" relative="relative" risks.="risks." additional="Additional" uncertainty="uncertainty" due="due" to="to" assumptions="assumptions" about="about" the="the" shape="shape" of="of" the="the" concentration-="concentration-" response="response" function="function" and="and" the="the" ratio="ratio" of="of" pm2.5="PM2.5" to="to" pm10="PM10" was="was" assessed="assessed" in="in" sensitivity="sensitivity" analyses.="analyses." an="An" additional="additional" estimate="estimate" of="of" attributable="attributable" deaths="deaths" was="was" calculated="calculated" from="from" time-series="time-series" studies="studies" of="of" daily="daily" mortality,="mortality," based="based" on="on" results="results" of="of" a="a" meta-analysis="meta-analysis" of="of" the="the" world="world" literature.="literature."
The preliminary and provisional analyses on which this presentation was based estimate that ambient air pollution causes about 1% of cardiorespiratory disease and about 3% of trachea, bronchus and lung cancer globally. This amounts to about 0.6 million (1.2%) premature deaths and 7.4 million (0.5%) years of life lost. This burden predominently falls on cities in developing countries.

Students in Dublin City Schools will have a chance for education abroad for the first time this year. Trips are set for spring break and this summer in the district's new global education program that will provide travel opportunities and education from curriculum, service learning, language immersion and leadership.
The global learning component was added to prepare students for competition in a global marketplace, and to learn 21st century skills such as critical thinking, problem solving, communication, collaboration and creativity, said Eydie Schilling, executive director of learning and teaching.
"It's all about being globally minded," she told Dublin Board of Education members.
The board got a crash course in the new offerings during a second reading of the global education course book. A final reading and vote is expected Feb. 10.
The course book limits travel to Dublin City Schools students and staff. A student who just graduated, for example, is not eligible for a trip.
The trips are district sponsored and can cost students anywhere from $2,500 to $4,500, Schilling said.
"It's district sponsored so it allows us to provide more scholarships," Schilling said, adding that an account for fundraising for trips also will be established.
Seven trips have been set for 2014 and trips are being planned for 2015.
A 10-day trip to Athens, Florence and Rome will offer a look into history with stops including the Parthenon, Temple of Athena Nike, Colosseum, Roman Forum, Vatican City and Sistine Chapel.
Schilling said a group of International Baccalaureate students will take a 13-day trip to World War II sites in Europe.
A 12-day trip to Costa Rica and Nicaragua will provide language immersion and an eight-day trip to the Dominican Republic will give students a service learning experience.
"They'll be developing baseball fields for a school," Schilling said.
Schilling is leading a nine-day trip to China during spring break. Students will visit landmarks in Shanghai and Beijing and attend a two-day leadership conference on the trip.

A 49-year-old man died Sunday afternoon when his pickup rolled over on Texas State Highway 70 near Pampa.
Loil Glin Woodruff Jr., of Pampa, was pronounced dead at the scene, according to the Texas Department of Public Safety.
Woodruff was driving a 2000 Ford pickup northbound on S.H. 70 about 3 p.m. when his vehicle left the road and traveled into a ditch. He then over corrected to the left and then back to the right, according to the DPS.
The pickup then rolled several times and came to a rest on its roof.
Woodruff was wearing his seat belt, according to the DPS. Alcohol appears to be a contributing factor in the crash, the DPS reported.

Meds, Mind, Body & Benefits > Insurance, Benefits Programs & HIV
ssdi appeal question...
<< < (10/38) > >>
update...I had a physical functional test that I was sent to from my ID doc about 6 weeks ago. Didn't really know how well/badly I did until today.Guess I failed with flying colors! :)Finally, some objective medical proof!!!The doc involved was so understanding and supportive. He said that the results of the test and his report would qualify me for disability. It's still a long wait for the ALJ hearing but today's news did wonders for my spirit. :)m.
That's great news Mitch! How long has it been, since you first applied, until now, then until the hearing will happen?
That's great news. Glad there's finally light at the end of the tunnel!!!
Hope it doesn't appear wrong to congratulate someone for failing at anything, but congrats! ;)
Jeff G:
Congrats Mitch ... in our world of living with HIV a horrible lab result can be a reason to rejoice sometime , bizarre but true . In all seriousness , I'm sorry you have had to fight so hard for disability , its something you already earned . I hope both the income and diagnosis bring you comfort .
