(Also Called 'Caregiving: Respite and Adult Day Care - Family Issues')
No matter how efficiently and effortlessly you have adapted your life to the role of caregiver, eventually you are going to need a break. Occasional breaks are essential not only to your emotional well-being, but to the well-being of your relationships with your family, friends, and the person you are caring for. Taking an occasional break is also essential to maintaining your capability as a caregiver. For some caregivers a nearby family member can step in and provide the care, but for other caregivers that option is not available. In these cases, adult day care is an option.
Adult day care provides daily structured programs in a community setting with activities and health-related and rehabilitation services to older adults who are physically or emotionally disabled and need a protective environment. Many centers provide services to clients with a broad range of conditions and disorders, while others specialize in particular disorders such as Alzheimer's disease.
Care is provided during daytime hours, and the individual returns home for the night. These centers not only enable older people to live at home, thus maintaining a degree of independence, but they are also beneficial to a primary caregiver in need of respite from the every day responsibilities of looking after a loved one. Many adult day care programs also provide transportation to and from the center.
Adult day care is offered at a special purpose facility or as a service at another type of care facility such as a nursing home or assisted living residence.
Services usually include, but are not limited to:
Adult day care also provides opportunities for education, as well as taking into consideration the older adults' favorite hobbies, interests, and needs.
When deciding to investigate adult day care options, the first step is to locate centers in your area. Local churches or a senior center generally can provide information on adult day care centers. In addition, some assisted living and nursing home facilities offer adult day care services.
Once the area centers have been located, call the centers and ask them to mail you information about the center, such as eligibility requirements, sample menus, activity calendars, and the application process. Once you have received the information, other things to look for include:
Once you have looked over the information, the next step is for the caregiver, along with the person being cared for, to visit and tour the center. Observations and questions that can be made or asked include:
If you live in a state that licenses adult day care centers, be sure to verify that the center's license is current.
The cost of adult day care varies from facility to facility. Private facilities may average $70 to $90 a day, while nonprofit centers may be only $10 a day. Centers funded by corporations or religious organizations can also be relatively inexpensive. If medical services such as physical or speech therapy are provided, Medicare, Medicaid or veterans' benefits may cover part of the costs.

Dueji and 'Diet' stamps: the importance of weight in Korea vs. the United Statesby Sarah Shaw on Dec 18, 2012 • 10:42 am 13 Comments
"What did you do last weekend?" I asked my class of 24 twelve year-old students.
"I played with these two pigs!" shouted one of the skinny boys, referring to two of his friends. His friend turned around and slapped him playfully on the head.
Later in the day, I was playing a Powerpoint game with another class. One of the images consisted of a fat guy eating a hamburger. "He looks like Sunny," one of the girls exclaimed, as the other kids laughed and Sunny burst into tears.
Whenever students bully their classmates by calling them "fat," and more commonly "pig," dueji in Korean, I never know exactly how to respond. First of all, my Korean is not fluent enough to address the issue, and they certainly can't understand if I try to explain it in English. Also, in a cultural context, it's difficult to know where to draw the line. Calling other students "pig" is completely normal in Korean society, but at least for some kids, it must be affecting their confidence and mental health. I asked my co-teacher what we should say to the students when they bully the chubby kids (because most of them are certainly not fat by American standards), and she responded, "I think they're used to it."
As I've mentioned before in other posts, bullying the fat kid is not a "Korean" phenomenon. I remember the kids in my own elementary school classes who were constantly bullied for being fat, but the standard for being perceived as "fat" in Korea would be seen as "chubby" in the United States. Also, teachers in the US are MUCH more likely to directly address the problem, rather than the typical Korean way of avoiding problems and striving to keep harmony within the classroom.
Dieting is openly discussed and encouraged among people of even healthy weights, but I was still quite shocked when I saw these items marketed towards children while searching for Christmas presents for my two-year old niece.
This pencil stamp set was placed in the children's aisle–and I'm positive it was the children's aisle because it looked like florescent colors threw up among the shelves. The stamp on the bottom says, "Diet" and the stamp above that says "blind date" in Korean. I personally feel that the six year-olds or even twelve year-olds who use this stamp set should not be concerned with dieting and blind dates. Yes, the word "Diet" is in English, but the image of the scale is self-explanatory. These toys are giving kids (most likely girls) the impression that they should be most concerned with dating and diets.
Here's another notebook, seen at Artbox, with "Enjoy your diet" written at the top. Granted, teenage girls and even older women use these cutesy cartoon-character plastered notebooks, but this is definitely marketed towards a younger girl, probably middle and high school students. Also, it's in English, and most times, English is merely used as decoration in Korea. Even it wasn't meant to be scrutinized, the designer must have written "Enjoy your diet" as the main text, due to it's prevalence in Korean society. The text underneath completely contradicts the header, but hey, that's Korean English for you.
My students have become so comfortable with me that sometimes they'll even call me fat. They're mostly joking around, but they still mean it. A few weeks ago, I told one of my classes that I went on a Buddhist Templestay, and all the food was vegetarian. "Ms. Shaw ate only vegetables because she's fat and is dieting," one of the students exclaimed (or at least that's how my co-teacher translated it, since I didn't exactly know what he was saying.) Although I'm at a completely healthy weight, according to Korean standards I'm still chubby.
This pressure to diet and achieve the ideal weight does not only apply to women in Korean society. Men also face pressure to diet. One of my chubby boy students, who speaks English really well, came into my class early one day and discussed his diet with me. "My dad said he would buy me a smartphone if I lose [a certain amount] of weight," he told me. (He's one of the exceptionally wealthy students at my school.) "But last weekend I ate a lot of naengmyun; it's my favorite food." We talked about snacking habits, since he is constantly going to hagwon, Korean evening cram schools, and doesn't necessarily eat regular meals.
Korea's openness towards weight can be a good thing. This student really does need to lose weight for his health, but I'm not sure if bribery is the best encouragement. The obesity rate is certainly much lower than the United States', but I'm wary of how many people actually have eating disorders. The standard weight that Koreans try to achieve is too low in my opinion, and many kids lose their self-confidence at a young age, spending the rest of their lives on strict diets, trying to reach a goal weight that is either unhealthy or physically impossible. With the plethora of advertising promoting weight loss and constant pestering from family members and peers, the need to diet is quickly ingrained in children's brains.
In the United States, a standard of unattainable beauty is also splattered throughout the media and advertisements, but weight is somewhat taboo to discuss. Many overweight children grow up ignoring problems and are encouraged to love their body despite their weight posing future health risks. Everyone should feel confident with their body but also realize when and if they need to make healthier choices.
In Korea, if someone is constantly commenting on "how chubby your face is" and encouraging you to diet, it means that they are comfortable around you and that they care. In the United States, we often avoid telling people we care about that they need to lose weight, because it's either not that important to us or we don't want to hurt their feelings. How can both countries reach a happy medium?
What are your thoughts about the importance (or lack of importance) of health and weight in your home country vs. current home abroad?

Chuck apparently fills many unusual roles in Barkeater. I lived in a town once with a combination realtor-used car dealer. Good advice never to completely trust someone who lives in a trailer he pulls behind him
I spent some time in a northern town where one guy owned the local hotel, bar & restaurant, and was also the mayor and the baggage handler at the airport (I wouldn't be surprised if he was also the Realtor).
I knew a dude who once was the local confectioner and the local dentist. Thats what I call job security! Oh, the cavity of the
Just kidding, I meant "gravity" instead of "cavity"

Brendan Johnson was nominated by the President as the 40th United States Attorney for the District of South Dakota and was confirmed unanimously by the United States Senate on October 15, 2009. Johnson serves as South Dakota's chief federal law enforcement officer and supervises the prosecution of all federal crimes and the litigation of civil matters in which the United States government has an interest.
At the request of Attorney General Eric Holder, Johnson chaired the Native American Issues Subcommittee from 2009-2013. The Native American Issues Subcommittee is the longest-standing subcommittee of United States Attorneys within the Department of Justice and is focused on improving law enforcement efforts in tribal communities. Attorney General Holder also selected Johnson to serve on the Attorney General's Advisory Committee. This committee consists of 17 United States Attorneys from across the country and is tasked with the responsibility of advising the Attorney General of the United States. Johnson also co-chairs the South Dakota Law Enforcement Coordinating Committee, is a member of the Midwest High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area Executive Board, and serves on the Department of Justice's Terrorism and National Security Subcommittee.
Prior to becoming the United States Attorney, Johnson was a federal law clerk in Rapid City for Chief Judge Karen Schreier and later worked as a Deputy State's Attorney in Minnehaha County where he prosecuted cases ranging from attempted murder to narcotics and domestic violence. In addition to his public service, Johnson practiced criminal and civil law as a partner in the law firm now known as Johnson, Heidepriem and Abdallah LLP.
Brendan Johnson is a fifth-generation South Dakota native and a graduate of the University of South Dakota (B.S.) and the University of Virginia School of Law (J.D.). Brendan and his wife, Jana, are the parents of four children.

SANTA FE — The heads of the state Game and Fish Department and the Game Commission have decided to hold off on issuing hunting permits for the lesser prairie chicken, a longtime candidate for possible protection under the Endangered Species Act.
Game and Fish director Bruce Thompson and Game Commission chairman Tom Arvas said they will not issue permits while a decision to list the bird as a protected species is pending before the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.
"Given the strong public interest in protecting this species, it's prudent for us to take more time to work with our partners to assure that we continue to take the best approach for conserving this species and its habitat," Arvas said in a statement Thursday.
Southern Roosevelt County is the beseiged bird's stronghold in New Mexico.
Lesser prairie chickens are round, stocky ground-dwelling birds. Males are famous for courtship displays in which they inflate pouches of skin on the side of their necks. The displays have become the centerpiece of an annual festival near the eastern New Mexico town of Milnesand.
Tish McDaniel of Clovis, who helps organize the festival said she believes from a biology standpoint the hunt was sound, but she's glad to see it delayed.
"I personally think it's a good idea to put it all on hold," McDaniel said. "The perception that all is well with the birds is not correct. It's something that needs to be studied more closely before something is put in place."
The Game Commission on July 21 approved a structure for lesser prairie chicken hunting in New Mexico that could have started as early as this fall.
The plan included a strict permitting process, but conservationists, sportsmen's groups and others argued that such an activity could derail long-term efforts to conserve the bird's population.
Nicole Rosmarino, wildlife program director for WildEarth Guardians, noted the lesser prairie chicken has been a candidate for protection under the Endangered Species Act for more than a decade and has been reduced to just a fraction of its once booming population in New Mexico, Colorado, Oklahoma, Kansas and Texas.
Rosmarino said the bird can't afford "any backslides in protection."
"This incident shows just how important it is to take management of this species out of state hands by listing it under the federal Endangered Species Act," Rosmarino said Friday.
Rosmarino has said the bird's future is bleak unless Fish and Wildlife decides to list it.
The Fish and Wildlife Service does not have funding this fiscal year for the studies necessary for proposing a listing, but staff biologists, landowners and other agencies are closely monitoring the bird.
Various projects are under way, including putting markers on fence lines to prevent the chickens from colliding with barbed wire fences. Fish and Wildlife also works with the Bureau of Land Management and Game and Fish to promote cooperative agreements with landowners to ensure prairie chicken habitat is conserved.
The Game Commission said it has numerous properties that are specifically managed for lesser prairie chickens and that it's in the process of establishing more areas.
U.S. Sen. Jeff Bingaman, D-N.M., said New Mexico officials made the right decision by holding off on the hunt.
"It makes sense to delay this hunt so that the Bureau of Land Management, the state Department of Game and Fish and other public, private and nonprofit stakeholders can continue promoting the bird's population while ensuring multiple use of public lands in southeast New Mexico," the senator said in a statement Friday.

Spike Jonze is surely one of the most imaginative and innovative filmmakers creating movies today. (See what the experts at the Museum of Modern Art think at: http://www.moma.org/visit/calendar/films/996 Spike - Psike - Psyche. His name is almost an anagram, and certainly his work, fascinating and psychologically surreal as it is, cries out for a psychobiographer.
Recently, our local film club watched and discussed Jonze's three feature films: Being John Malkovich; Adaptation; and Where the Wild Things Are. The music videos and the skateboard films I find much harder to read in any psychological way, although there is a lovely, dreamy commercial for Adidas that he did with Karen O. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Zvqf3sF0b4 It shows some of the same characteristics as the feature films.
What are those characterisics?
To me, Jonze's most striking pattern is going into someone's head and putting the contents out on the screen. Wild Things shows the tactic most clearly: Max's fantasies become the huge creatures on the island, as does the dream in the Adidas commercial. In Malkovich, various characters go into the actor's mind and we in the audience see through his eyes. In Adaptation, the fictitious twin (Donald) acts out the suffering twin's wished-for personality.
Closely related to this psychic move, Jonze uses odd representations of people's bodies: the fictitious twin; the huge wild things' bodies; or the puppets in Malkovich. Not only does he project dreams and wishes from a character's mind onto the screen; he projects the character's body. Adaptation in particular is a meta-film: a film in which the film includes its own making--another kind of projection. In Malkovich, strangers go into the actor's body.
Many people have commented on Jonze's own physicality. Take a look at his peculiar dancing with the Torrance Community Dance Company. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cliHaTV2V6w . Jonze duplicates the style in John Malkovich's puppet-dance when his body is taken over by the puppeteer.Jonze also shows a lot of interest in the stages of life, childhood, old age, and mid-life problems. Many of the music videos focus on children and, of course, Wild Things does. In Adaptation, we witness a mid-life crisis with a "Mom" in the background, a crisis solved when the twin into whom the hero has projected his wishes dies, and the hero can fulfill his wishes himself. In Malkovich, he concerns himself with aging and finds a way to avoid it. But he titled his show at MoMa: Spike Jonze: The First 80 Years.
Many people have commented on Jonze's trying to preserve his "juvenility" (the relentless teen-agery he maintains). What other major filmmaker makes skateboard movies? And Jonze even used a skateboard to "get" one scene in Wild Things. In the few videos that show him in person he looks, even in his early forties, like a teenager (and acts like one).
Another striking thing about Jonze: he chose this pseudonym. Born Adam Spiegel into the very wealthy Spiegel catalog family, he took a new name when fellow workers at a BMX store called him Spike Jonze. (His brother goes by Squeak E. Clean.) Adam's parents divorced when he was young, and he grew up with his mother and older sister. With the Torrance dance group, he uses the name Richard Koufey (goofy?).
Can we put all this together into what I like to call an "identity theme"? Something distributed widely in the brain as procedural memory? That is, can I find a phrasing that lets me understand Spike Jonze's life and work as the expression of a core theme? What I see is a forty-year old man who doesn't want to be a forty-year-old man. He would like to go on being a teen-ager with all the possibilities (and risks) teen-agers have. Or, more generally, I see someone who wants to escape his own mind and body and who is so spectacularly creative that he can succeed-superbly--in doing just that.

International best-selling author Linwood Barclay delivers pulse-pounding suspense that puts him among the masters of the genre. A Tap on the Window finds private investigator Cal Weaver making an ill-advised decision to pick up a young female hitchhiker who reminds him of his dead son. But something is off about the girl, and Cal is soon drawn into a host of nightmarish secrets.

"5 Stars for Tap on the Window"
Yes. At first I wasn't sure I was going to like the book but boy did I change my mind. Very good, a little sad at times but definitely hold on to your seat for a wild ride kind of story.
Mark Zeisler did a very good performance. I don't know if it was the greatest but it certainly was not bad.
Yes. I listened to it all in one day.
There are so many twists in this book, just when you think you know "who done it" the story goes off in another direction and takes of running somewhere else. The final two chapters took me totally by surprise. The conclusion actually left me feeling kind of melancholy and I normally like a book with an ending on the upside but in a way it does that too. Sounds confusing right? Listen to this one and see if you don't agree. It is worth the $ or credit you spend on it.
"mystery thriller that totally hooked me"
I thoroughly enjoyed this mystery thriller. The main character is a private detective dealing with grief over the recent death of his teenage son. The disappearance of a teenaged girl he gives a ride to draws him into mystery and intrigue in a small town in upstate New York. I found myself caring about the characters and mystery equally. This story is very well paced, and I could not stop listening. While I would characterize this as a light summer page-turner, I was totally drawn in. The plot moved at a good pace with a good amount of twists and turns. My only criticism is that the end had one plot turn too many, but I still recommend this novel. It was one of my favorites of the past year.
"Barclay fan since his Toronto Star days"
Another page turner. Realistic, everyday characters in not so everyday situations. Very relatable. A person's true character comes out when tested and this is such a case.
"Suspensefull thriller was engrossing"
The reader was superb at evoking many different characters.
The opening sequence is riveting and sets the stage for everything that follows.
Lost children, lost hope.
The ending went a bit off the rails and was a bit far-fetched, but I really enjoyed the book nonetheless.
"Boring or Bored narrator"
I have never listened to a more unemotional, flat narration on Audible than this narrator.
Part of my job is cleaning vacation rental homes so while doing so I love to listen to books! Mystery books and suspense are the BEST!
"Another great listen."
I really like Linwood's stories. I have listened to them all but one now and really have very much enjoyed them all. This one is no different.
I like the father Cal in this one....I also like Auggie the brother in law, kind of one of those bad boy chief of police type.
His voice is great. And the way he does the different people in the story really adds to this being an enjoyable listen.
Yes...several parts when people die.
This is a great listen. Any Linwood fans out there will not be unhappy with this one! Has you going to the very end!
"Looking forward to Linwoods next book!"
Would listen to it again, love his books!
The whole book.
His voice
The ending.
Can't wait for the next book.
"A Disappointment"
Several years ago I read The Accident........and really liked it. A few months ago I reread it and liked it so much that I began to read all of the author's books. I thoroughly enjoyed every one of them until I got to this one. It was slower than the others but I could live with that. But the ending was just totally beyond belief. In most of his books the final solution is at least reasonable..........this one not so!
Enjoying one good listen after the next!
"A Very Engaging Well-narrated Thriller-Mystery!"
It had me from the first sentence. . . and that exhilarating feeling didn't quit through the whole book. Barclay's writing is so natural and flows so realistically that the story is plausible throughout. Zeisler's narration is excellent. . so easy to listen for hours on end.
This is about a private detective, a couple in mourning, a small town, and a group of young adults mixed up in a story that centers around a rotten-to-the core cop. The untold secrets of the characters keep the story running and imaginations churning.
I can highly recommend this one!
"great book great suspense"
You never know what is next. I think this writer is under valued. Another one of his great books. I went to bed LATE a few nights trying to listen and figure out what was coming next. I recommend it.

Earlier today, students from Sacramento's Mira Loma High School took home the 2013 National Science Bowl first-place trophy with a close win over North Carolina School of Science and Mathematics. The two teams were neck-and-neck throughout the tense double-elimination round of the high school finals -- and Mira Loma pulled ahead seconds before the clock ran out by correctly answering a complicated medical question about damaged cranial nerves.
The Mira Loma team includes seniors Saaket Agrawal and Siddarth Trehan, sophomore Daniel Chen and freshman Jack Gurev. Between the four of them, the team is already contributing to diagnostic cancer research and teaching chemistry to other students in their spare time. This is Mira Loma's third win at the National Science Bowl.
The middle school winners of this year's championship round are a group of eighth graders from Carmel, Indiana's Creekside Middle School, who won a tough battle over a team of seventh and eighth graders from Takoma Park Middle School of Silver Spring, MD.
And while this morning's opening remarks were filled with science and math jokes -- including a few references to fictional theoretical physicist Dr. Sheldon Cooper from the CBS TV show The Big Bang Theory, the competition itself was no joke. Teams trained for months to be one of the regional champions who came to D.C. to compete in the National Science Bowl Finals for big prizes -- including $1,000 for their high school science department and an Alaskan science adventure that would make any biology fan jealous.
As Acting Secretary of Energy Poneman said, these remarkable students represent America's future in science, technology and engineering. Though the competition has officially ended, expect to hear more from them as they go on to become leaders of the next generation of innovators.
Congratulations to the winners, and a round of applause to every team that competed in this year's National Science Bowl.

- Grain elevators of this kind were built 70-80 years ago (or more in some cases) to fulfill a specific need. Most every town had at least one, and many of those towns themselves have disappeared. The prairie landscape has changed. While once these were the giants, now newer cement structures rise high into the landscape dwarfing even these. Many have been torn down in the last 15 years.

The Airport
I'm sitting at the airport again, this time preparing to board a plane from Christchurch to Auckland.
The trip represents a few things for me.
First, it's my final departure from the South Island here in New Zealand. Up until this point, I've spent the vast majority of my time in the bottom part of the country, and the North Island is still relatively new and unexplored territory on my mental map.
Second, since Christchurch has been my home base in NZ, it feels like I'm really and truly leaving home again, a feeling that I've had several times since I started Exile Lifestyle, and one that is always a little surreal.
Third, it represents a series of new challenges I hadn't yet encountered, which is good in that I'm learning and struggling and getting the most out of my experience, but bad in that it really kind of sucks and makes leaving a whole lot more difficult.
The Bus Ride
I took a bus ride yesterday, which is something I don't often do since I've always lived in the City Center of Christchurch, where everything is within easy waking distance.
But I found myself on this bus, and it was like I had hopped on a Disneyland ride entitled 'Colin Wright, This Is Your Chch Life!' (Chch is the abbreviation many Kiwis use for Christchurch).
As I sat there, leaning back in my seat and gazing out the slightly-blurry windows, we passed landmark after landmark in my short history in the city.
I'd be staring blankly, unfocusing my eyes and quietly enjoying the relative silence of the bus interior, and them BAM! My eyes auto-focus in on the hostel I stayed at when I first arrived in town, jarring my attention back to the fact that this is my last day here.
As soon as I'm able to push down the flood of memories and associations, WHACK! Slapped in the face by a blurry view of the first intersection that I learned and used as a point of reference to find my way around the city.
KAPOW! There's the real estate office in the middle of nowhere that I had to hike over to several times to get my apartment rental settled.
THUNK! There's the lookout point that my good friend Melissa showed me my first week in town.
WHUMP! There's the empty pizza restaurant my buddy Nathan was thinking about renting for the first location of the new fish and chips chain he's setting up.
By the end of the bus ride I was more than a little punch-drunk, head full of reminiscent fluff and eyes still a little blurry, though no longer from the bus windows.
Moving On
Christchurch is an amazing place full of amazing things. It's a smallish city by international standards, but the culture is fantastic, the beer and wine is great, and the food is good.
It's also the first place that I've been out on a handful of dates with someone who I've really felt a 'more than friends' connection to.
I kept thinking, under other circumstances….but in these kinds of situations you can't really think about that, because I have my priorities, and she has hers, and we met in the middle and had a good time. Trying to make it anything more or less than it was would do the whole situation and the time we DID have together an injustice.
I'm parting ways with her for now, but I'm sure I'll see her again somewhere in the world, someday, when we're both a bit different and have even more to share with and learn from one another.
Similarly, I'm leaving Christchurch for now, but I'll be back.
But even if I cannot for some reason, I've seriously enjoyed the experience, taken something away from it and become a better person for it.
And at the end of the day, that's what this trip and LIFE is all about.

Madonna's 15-Year-Old Daughter Lourdes Plays Dress Up With Iconic Cone Bra
Madonna's 15-year-old daughter Lourdes had a little fun backstage during the singer's "MDNA Tour" Wednesday night after getting into her mom's wardrob and trying on her one of her iconic "cone bras."
Lourdes, aka 'Lola,' struck a goofy pose and tweeted the image Thursday morning with the caption, "Lola backstage at MDNA!"
The image was removed from the twitter page, but not before the photo went viral across the internet Thursday afternoon.
The Jean Paul Gaultier designed leather corset is a more modern version of the one he designed for her 1990 Blond Ambition Tour, which was gold satin.
The Material Girl's daughter was caught on camera earlier this year smoking a cigarette, and that image also quickly spread online. Madonna told newsman Brian Williams during an interview for his Rock Center news show that the images shocked her.
"I don't think I'm as tough as I should be," she said. "I think I need to be maybe tougher. It's hard though, it's hard, everyday is a negotiation. But cigarette smoking I'm not very fond of, for anyone.
"I don't approve of anyone smoking cigarettes - most of all my daughter."

err... isn't the end result the reward.. or am I missing something?
How do you reward yourself when you reach a certain fitness goal? What do you do for yourself to get that "motivational boost"?
err... isn't the end result the reward.. or am I missing something?
Ya I feel like getting bigger is it's own reward, however, eating all the time is hardly a punishment. If I was trying to loose major weight instead of gain it, I think I would need some extra motivation to stay hungry all the time.
I lube up my finger and ........ Wait. What was the question.
Everybody wanna be a bodybuilder but dont nobody wanna lift this heavy ass weight. R.C.
i like to celebrate with a round of LHJO...while blasting this.
OH Fuck. Im laughing. No reps till I spread my manlove around a little more.
Everybody wanna be a bodybuilder but dont nobody wanna lift this heavy ass weight. R.C.

rewards in the "workout business" usually contain something counter productive to your goals. plus they are for little kids
Everything I say is for entertainment purposes only.
I do not condone the use of illegal substances.
I pooped today...
Cheating is reward, fuckin craves. Not a fan of alcohol but damn a few beers or wine wouldnt bad so bad...ugh..now if you'll excuse me...my brocoli just gave me the finger I'll have to eat him alive.
like someone already said rewards are for kids, if you need rewards to commit to bbing then you wont go far that beeing said the odd beer now and again doesnt go a miss.. but i was at the gym yesterday and some guy come and was chatting to me about training and stuff and asked me how did i get big? tht was like a reward for me ah its the little things in life eh?.. most people could not comprehend or appreciate the hard work and days weeks months years of trainng it takes, when i see somebody whos really in shape i will have a quite respect for them as i know the hard work they have put in its like a brotherhood in a way haha...
Rewards are for kids? Screw that. I go shopping.
It's not because of the reward that I try and improve my body. But it's a nice way to celebrate and pat myself on the back. Just like no one's going to do it for you, no one can make you feel as good (or bad) about your achievements as you can.
I will buy new weights and shop some accessories.
Masterbate infront of a big mirror... its the best kind
Get some ink done to compliment your physique.

Its not what i hear often, in my dating career I have always learnt a cardinal rule "whenever you go on a date, always eat what you can afford". I am a modern day spinster, i support the notion that if a man asks a lady out on a first date he MUST pay for it. Then where does lets split it in half come in?.
I met a flippant-tight-fisted guy a while ago and we got on OK. He purchased tickets for the best seats at the cirque du soleil to see Allegria on a spur of the moment. I was thrilled, while i was basking in the euphoric moment he said "I am not a guy who believes he should buy a woman a meal just to get into her knickers". I mean where did that come from? He offered to take me out. Anyway, that made me furious. I still agreed to our first date. After the show I took him to Maroush and forked out cash for our entire meal, at least he knows one of us wasn't a cheapskate. then i make the mistake of inviting him over to to another restaurant with my pals. Mr Voracious had 4 cocktails at £9.50 each and when the bill came i was saddled with a £40 portion of the bill when i only had a mediocre meal and 2 glasses of cheap rioja. Suffice to say, that was the conclusion of our ill-fated encounter.
Why on earth will you go out for a meal with a vegetarian and expect to go dutch, when your food costs more than theirs?
Recently, i met up with someone i dated briefly (now he doesn't deserve the title of an ex), we went to a cheap and cheerful Thai restaurant just before our movie. After the meal he said "should we go dutch?". The bill was frigging £30, what was there to split? I was puzzled, i looked around, In my lineage there are no dutchs. I thought it was a joke. I simply replied, well i got the movie tickets anyway so pay for the meal.
Eating out, or lunch/dinner dates needn't be orchestrated, if you have an understanding the bill gets settled. There is no need for any awkwardness or slow-reaching-for-the-wallet. Maybe my preconceived notions are getting the worse or best of me, but i don't believe in going dutch anyway. I dont mind paying for what i eat, especially when your date has got a voracious appetite and you settle for a starter, the git then wants you to split it half. Thats how most men earn a reputation for being tight-fisted.

Advanced Micro Devices on Wednesday finally revealed several AMD Phenom X3 microprocessors with three processing engines for channel and consumers after months of waiting. The new chips are aimed at gamers and multimedia enthusiasts in budget and are priced accordingly. In addition, AMD slashed pricing on certain quad-core AMD Phenom X4 processors to better compete against Intel.
AMD Phenom X3 8000 triple-core microprocessors are based on AMD's latest micro-architecture and have 1.5MB level-two cache (512KB per core), 2MB of unified level-three cache as well as built-in dual-channel memory controller. A month ago AMD already started to ship AMD Phenom X3 models 8400 (2.10GHz) and 8600 (2.30GHz) to system integrators, whereas today the company unveiled models 8450 (2.10GHz), 8650 (2.30GHz) and 8750 (2.40GHz) that will be sold in the channel market and available for end-users.
The Phenom X3 chips are made by disabling one potentially faulty processing engine of an AMD Phenom X4, which means that the triple-core chips are not a major product for AMD, but a way to sell imperfect quad-core dies. Since triple-core central processing units (CPUs) are created from unsatisfactory quad-core chips, there will be less AMD Phenom X3 processors available on the market than the Phenom X4.
AMD targets its AMD Phenom X3 microprocessors primarily for gamers and enthusiasts in budget seeking for something more than a dual-core chip, but who cannot afford a quad-core processor and also demand a little higher clock-speed to run single- or dual-threaded applications quicker.
However, AMD's actual positioning seems to be quite strange, if consider the fact that the price difference between triple-core and quad-core processor is not high, whereas performance-wise there are very few cases when AMD's triple-core chips are substantially faster than AMD's dual-core chips thanks to additional core or offer considerably higher performance than AMD's quad-core chips due to slightly higher clock-speed, a review by X-bit labs revealed.

Will Doctors Opt Out Of Public Option?
It appears at least some plan too. Dr. Alfred Bonati, who heads the American Society of Medical Doctors, says he plans to say "no" to accepting patients under a government run plan and, according to a poll he cites, so do an awful lot of other physicians:
Perhaps this is why a nationwide, nonpartisan poll of physicians this month found that a full 70 percent oppose the health care reform proposals under consideration by Congress. Sixty-six percent feel that a government-run health insurance plan would restrict doctors' ability to give the best advice and offer the best care possible to their patients. Perhaps most importantly, 60 percent said they would not accept new patients covered by a government insurance plan.
His reasons are based in experience:
Nearly all the doctors polled have worked with Medicare. Most have likely been denied Medicare reimbursement, or given minimal reimbursement, for a course of treatment that they prescribed that best fits the needs of a patient and that patient's family. They know that government coverage does not allow for flexibility, creativity, or, sometimes, even compassion.
I share the view of the 60 percent in the August poll — those doctors who are planning to "just say no" if government-run health coverage is implemented. Many of us already do not accept patients who are on Medicare or Medicaid because of restrictions those programs put on our decisions as doctors. It pains us to turn away a patient in need, but the narrow rules of government reimbursement programs stymie our ability to follow our oath, so we simply opt out and work with patients who are also in need but have more flexible, private coverage.
If a government option gains the popularity that is expected — after all, who would not choose the most affordable option available, and how could any option compete with one that is subsidized by taxpayers — millions of Americans will face severely limited options in choosing a doctor. As physicians reject working with a system that does not honor our oath, patients will be left opening their own checkbooks, or going into credit card debt, to get the treatment they need and deserve.
The law of unintended consequences again raises its head. The government may indeed put a public option in place – whether or not the citizens of the nation want it or not. And they may, through legislation, force insurance companies to take everyone without exception, but -at least not at this point- they can't force doctors to accept patients under plans that don't feel reimburses at a rate commensurate with the care given or doesn't allow them to treat a patient in accordance with the oath they took.
Of course that then leaves that system with a problem and the government with a dilemma – does it then force MDs to take anyone who applies (as it will insurance companies) regardless of insurance plan? And if so, how do you suppose doctors and other health care providers will react?
It is these sorts of problems, dilemmas and unintended consequences that few are talking about in this great "debate". What if it is doctors who become the Atlas that shrugs when all is said and done. What options would the government then have – in this land of the "free" and home of the brave?
12 Responses to Will Doctors Opt Out Of Public Option?
unfortunately, the next step is to pass a law requiring Doctors to see patients on the plan by either tying it to their license or making it illegal to not accept it.
tying it to their license
I remember a commenter here years ago arguing that exact thing regarding pharmacists and her "right" to medicine. (I think it was specifically the morning-after pill and pharmacists who didn't want to carry it because of religious objections.) Among other things, she saw no problem with forcing pharmacists to carry any and all drugs because they must have state licenses to be in business. No libery-based argument would sway her – she wanted her medicine and didn't want to drive or move closer to a compliant pharmacist.
Joel C. beat me to it.
Once you decide that health care is a right, then people who deny that right are committing a crime, no?
—>people who deny that right are committing a crime
Yeah, a hate crime and they will use the power of civil rights laws to send them to federal prison.
Good luck with trying to deny treatment.
After a few very public show trials the rest of the sheep will get in line.
You think the people who feel they can force you to have insurance wouldn't also tell doctors they have to see any patient? Of course they will.
Greedy Republican Doctors refuse patients!
MDs shill for Big Insurance and Big Pharma!
Right Wing Doctors hate the idea of a Black President!
Why Doctors put Green before Grandma!
Senate investigates Primary Care Physicians.
Medical Ethics committee explores penalties on non-participant Docs.
Cuban Doctors, they care for you!
Just trying out some headline and lead-in angles for Obama's media Czar to suggest to The Ministry of Information when the proper time comes.
Not that our esteemed Supreme Court would so hold, but I have a hard time seeing how forcing doctors to accept patients under a government option against their will does not violate the 13th Amendment's prohibition of involuntary servitude.
NO CO-OP'S! A Little History Lesson
Young People. America needs your help.
More than two thirds of the American people want a single payer health care system. And if they cant have a single payer system 77% of all Americans want a strong government-run public option on day one (86% of democrats, 75% of independents, and 72% republicans). Basically everyone.
Our last great economic catastrophe was called the Great Depression. Then as now it was caused by a reckless, and corrupt Republican administration and republican congress. FDR a Democrat, was then elected to save the nation and the American people from the unbridled GREED and profiteering, of the unregulated predatory self-interest of the banking industry and Wallstreet. Just like now.
FDR proposed a Government-run health insurance plan to go with Social Security. To assure all Americans high quality, easily accessible, affordable, National Healthcare security. Regardless of where you lived, worked, or your ability to pay. But the AMA riled against it. Using all manor of scare tactics, like Calling it SOCIALIZED MEDICINE!! :-0
So FDR established thousands of co-op's around the country in rural America. And all of them failed. The biggest of these co-op organizations would become the grandfather of the predatory monster that all of you know today as the DISGRACEFUL GREED DRIVEN PRIVATE FOR PROFIT health insurance industry. And the DISGRACEFUL GREED DRIVEN PRIVATE FOR PROFIT healthcare industry.
This former co-op would grow so powerful that it would corrupt every aspect of healthcare delivery in America. Even corrupting the Government of the United States.
This former co-op's name is BLUE CROSS/BLUE SHIELD.
Do you see now why even the suggestion of co-op's is ridiculous. It makes me so ANGRY! Co-op's are not a substitute for a government-run public option.
They are trying to pull the wool over our eye's again. Senators, if you don't have the votes now, GET THEM! Or turn them over to us. WE WILL! DEAL WITH THEM. Why do you think we gave your party Control of the House, Control of the Senate, Control of the Whitehouse. The only option on the table that has any chance of fixing our healthcare crisis is a STRONG GOVERNMENT-RUN PUBLIC OPTION.
An insurance mandate and subsidies without a strong government-run public option choice available on day one, would be worse than the healthcare catastrophe we have now. The insurance, and healthcare industry have been very successful at exploiting the good hearts of the American people. But Congress and the president must not let that happen this time. House Progressives and members of the Tri-caucus must continue to hold firm on their demand for a strong Government-run public option.
A healthcare reform bill with mandates and subsidies but without a STRONG government-run public option choice on day one, would be much worse than NO healthcare reform at all. So you must be strong and KILL IT! if you have too. And let the chips fall where they may. You can do insurance reform without mandates, subsidies, or taxpayer expense.
Actually, no tax payer funds should be use to subsidize any private for profit insurance plans. So, NO TAX PAYER SUBSIDIZES TO PRIVATE FOR PROFIT PLANS. Tax payer funds should only be used to subsidize the public plans. Healthcare reform should be 100% for the American people. Not another taxpayer bailout of the private for profit insurance industry, disguised as healthcare reform for the people.
God Bless You

You posted this same crap on another thread. The next time I'll mark it as spam.
If you've got something to talk about, fine. Have at it. If you're just dropping in to do your "cyberwarrior" thing with the same boilerplate each time, then do it somewhere else.
FDR proposed a Government-run health insurance plan to go with Social Security.
And look at what that got us.
Of course that then leaves that system with a problem and the government with a dilemma – does it then force MDs to take anyone who applies (as it will insurance companies) regardless of insurance plan? And if so, how do you suppose doctors and other health care providers will react?
Pssst! I hear there's an outlaw doctor who'll do off-the-books prenatal care for cheap. Cash only, no questions. Meet him in the alley behind Mike's at 9pm.

McClain coach Eleazarus Greenleaf said Tuesday night he likes Booneville to win Class 3A.
McClain lost 70-58 at Booneville in the North State opener Tuesday as Booneville's Kenny Paul Geno scored 33 points and had 20 rebounds.
McClain played their 1-3-1 but shadowed Geno in the second half. Geno had 19 in the second half.
"In the second half, we basically tried to stop Geno from getting offensive putbacks and running the floor," Greenleaf said. "He can shoot it. He crashes the boards hard. He's a hard working player. He works hard at everything he does."
McClain (20-6) was upset in its division torunament and fell to a 4-seed. Greenleaf likes Booneville's chances to bring home a gold ball. The Blue Devils (25-4) won it all two years ago.
"Probably Booneville. Booneville's tough, they play good defense, they run the floor, they're patient. I think them and Cleveland East Side would be a good matchup," Greenleaf said.
Booneville and East Side would have to meet in the North semifinals.

Whilst found almost everywhere in the Southern Hemisphere, particularly high concentrations of dusky dolphins are found around New Zealand, Tasmania, southern Australia and south-western Africa. Populations are also found around the western coast of South America, but appear to be separated both geographically and biologically by a gap spanning 1,000 kilometres of Chilean coastline. Individuals to the north of this separation are larger than those to the south, and are sometimes considered separate subspecies (1).

Summer Entertaining — Salsa
Whether veggie or fruit, salsas are a fresh, healthy alternative to calorie-laden dips
Summer is the best time for chips and salsa, but the same old stuff out of a jar can be boring. Spice things up with one of these beauties!
Roasted Corn Salsa
This colorful Roasted Corn Salsa is worth the extra time it takes to grill the ears of corn. The flavor goes well with barbecued meats, but it's also tasty served with chips.
—Nancy Horsburgh, Everett, Ontario
Fast Fruit Salsa
We like this refreshing and colorful Fast Fruit Salsa served with tortilla chips or spooned over grilled chicken. For a fun twist, try stirring in some diced cantaloupe or peaches when they're in season.
—Eileen Miller, Woodridge, Illinois
Asparagus Salsa
Jalapeno pepper and cilantro spice up this refreshing Asparagus Salsa that's made with tomatoes, onion and fresh asparagus. Served chilled with tortilla chips, this chunky sauce won't last long.
—Emma Thomas, Rome, Georgia
Peppy Peach Salsa
Garden-fresh salsas are one of my favorite condiments, so when I saw a recipe for Peppy Peach Salsa in the newspaper, I couldn't think of anything that sounded better.
—Jennifer Abbot, Moraga, California
Zucchini Tomato Salsa
Wondering what to do with all my garden zucchini, I came up with this versatile and colorful Zucchini Tomato Salsa. I also serve it on crackers, burgers, chips, baked potatoes or over cream cheese as a spread!
—Jennifer Magrey, Sterling, Connecticut

Two steps forward, and one step back. While Elementary continues to carve out its own path as a modernized version of Sherlock Holmes, every once in awhile it's bound to slip. In "Lesser Evils," the bumps are smaller than in previous episodes, but they're still noticeable.
The Players:
- Director: Colin Bucksey
- Writer: Liz Friedman
- Cast: Jonny Lee Miller, Lucy Liu, Aidan Quinn, Jon Michael Hill, David Harbour, Anika Noni Rose
Episode Title: "Lesser Evils"
Sherlock (Miller) and Joan (Liu) discover that a series of deaths at a local hospital are actually murders. The race is on to find the culprit before another victim is claimed. At the same time, Joan runs into an old friend (Rose) from her former profession, thus triggering buried feelings about her medical career.
The Good:
- Watson's Past: We all know that Joan was a doctor whose patient met an unfortunate end. After her suspension from medicine, she never returned to the field. In this episode she's reacquainted with an old friend, who lures her back into the world. Their rocky relationship proves that Joan still has a passion for medicine. She just refuses to go back because she can't forgive herself for a fatal mistake. Although the episode ended with her deleting pictures from her past, we imagine the good doctor will be return soon.
- Sherlock, The Slight Screw-Up: It's such a delight to see the additional quirks of Sherlock's personality. Aside from being a rehabilitated smarty pants, he's likely to make mistakes and can even apologize. Who knew Sherlock would willingly give in and say he's sorry? It's always funny to see a character like him give the "I'm sorry" speech, because it's so out of the norm. Oh Sherlock, you're so silly.
The So-So:
- Our Mystery: Again, there isn't too much about the murder mystery that's hard to figure out. The only cool twist was that there were two people involved rather than one. That and we like David Harbour's (End of Watch, The Newsroom) acting. Nice move bringing him on the show.
- Two Endings: Don't you hate it when you're watching something, you think it's wrapping up, only there's 10 minutes of exposition left? That's how it felt like during this episode. Once the Angel of Mercy murderer was apprehended, we knew there was a loose string left. They had to find his accomplice, but it took too long to wrap up. We don't need the Scooby-Doo ending for each of the villains. We know they're awful and why they did it. Stop holding our hand.
The Bad:
- 90% Of Familiar Actors = Episode Villains: Come on, we thought we were past this point already. The point where the true murderer was easy to spot within the first 15 minutes to a half hour of the show. Whenever an actor looks familiar to you, more than likely they're going to be our culprit in the case. We don't want that! We want more mystery. The stories of Sherlock Holmes are the epitome of the mystery crime genre. Maybe that should be kept intact for this show.
- Puke Green Flashback Scenes: Sorry but we thought they got rid of these unnecessary scenes? Darn it.
We weren't particularly blown away by this episode. But at least it laid some groundwork for further development in Watson's future. We're intrigued, that's for sure.
Rating: 6.5/10
What did you think of the latest episode of Elementary?

Hello! TTC at 39!! Come on clock please keep ticking!! :)
Good day all! My name is Sherri and I am a proud mother of two beautiful children. Well, actually my children are almost completely grown, my daughter 17 and my son is now 19 years old. (but of course for all of us mums our babies will always be our babies no matter how old they are!) I had a tubal ligation at the age of 22, 2 months after my baby girl was born. I was in a difficult time of my life, I had an abusive husband. I was young and scared and I did what I thought was necessary at the time. Well when my daughter was 3 and my son was 5 years of age we escaped with the help of my couragous sister. She saved my life!! Well, later on down the line I met the love of my life!! We were soon happily married. Well, he has never had children of his own although he accepted mine as his babies. I would love to have the chance to bare a child together with him. 8 years ago, we attempted IVF. 16 beautiful class A embryos. We were so excited!! We had 3 implantations 2 embryos at a time, each time my body rejected them. We felt like there was no hope for us so dontated the rest to women that are not able to conceive. Well, until 2 years ago, we changed our minds again. I had a tubal reversal 2 years as of May 2nd. Still no luck, but we are not giving up!!

Shared ownership for council and housing association tenants
With Social HomeBuy, you buy a share of your council or housing association home and pay rent on the rest of it.
To apply, ask your landlord for an application form.
You'll get a discount of between £9,000 and £16,000 on the value of your home, depending on:
- where your home is
- the size of the share you're buying
If you want to buy another share in your home later on, you'll get a discount on that too.
Buying more of your home later
You must buy at least 25% of your home. You can buy more later, until you own 100%. This is called 'staircasing'.
If you buy more of your home, your rent will go down - because it's based on how much of the property you rent. Your landlord can charge rent of up to 3% of the value of their share of your home, per year.
Example Your home is worth £240,000 and you buy a 50% share. Your landlord charges you 3% rent on their 50% share. 3% of £120,000 is £3,600 per year. This works out at £300 per month for you to pay in rent.
Who can't apply
You can't use Social HomeBuy if:
- you have an assured shorthold tenancy
- you're being made bankrupt
- a court has ordered you to leave your home
- your landlord is taking action against you for rent arrears, anti-social behaviour or for breaking your tenancy agreement
Not all local councils or housing associations have joined the scheme. Check with your landlord to find out if they belong to the scheme and whether your home is included.
