AMA announces EVP's departure
■ Michael D. Maves, MD, MBA, will step aside in June 2011 after more than 9 years in the post.
The AMA Board of Trustees and Executive Vice President and CEO Michael D. Maves, MD, MBA, "have mutually decided" that he will step aside when his contract ends on June 30, 2011, the Association said in a statement released Nov. 4.
"I have proudly served the AMA and its members for nearly nine years," Dr. Maves said. "The end of my current contract in June 2011 presents a natural opportunity to transition the leadership of the AMA to a new physician executive."
AMA Board of Trustees Chair Ardis Dee Hoven, MD, lauded the outgoing CEO's performance.
"Under Dr. Maves' leadership, the American Medical Association restored its financial stability, weathered the recession and implemented a number of critical initiatives to improve quality of care, increase access to care and establish a fair system of payment for physicians within the Medicare program," said Dr. Hoven, an internist and infectious disease specialist in Lexington, Ky.
"As we enter into a new era that is redefining the way health care is delivered, both Dr. Maves and the Board of Trustees share the belief that new top leadership is required to address these challenges and to ensure the rights of patients and physicians are passionately and effectively protected," she said.
Dr. Maves, a head and neck surgeon, took over as CEO in 2002 after serving as president of the Consumer Healthcare Products Assn. and executive vice president of the American Academy of Otolaryngology -- Head and Neck Surgery.
The Association said no other executive changes are expected. The AMA said it hopes to have a new CEO in place by the conclusion of Dr. Maves' contract.
The announcement comes as the AMA House of Delegates prepares to begin its Interim Meeting in San Diego on Nov. 6. Among issues to be addressed at the meeting are stopping looming Medicare pay cuts, extending health insurance coverage for children of military families and establishing guiding principles for accountable care organizations.

Security Cleared Expo launches in Westminster
by Annie Byrne
A unique exhibition for individuals with professional security clearance has chalked up double the number of attendees expected for its first event. The Security Cleared Expo was held at The Royal Horticultural Halls and Conference Centre in Westminster and took place on 21 October. According to the organiser, Security Cleared Jobs, over 1,200 attended the one-day expo, which aimed to provide clients and recruitment agencies with an opportunity to meet professionals with DV, SC, CTC or NATO security clearance in a dedicated recruitment environment. Lead organiser, Sean Smyth, said feedback was positive from exhibitors and visitors. The Security Cleared Jobs site was launched by Smyth and a couple of colleagues in January 2007. "The need for security cleared personnel in the UK continues to grow and along with it the demand for candidates," Smyth said. "Our exhibitors were surprised at how high-level the people who attended were."Smyth told EN Westminster was chosen through an industry survey as the best place to hold an exhibition, based on the number of central government agencies in the area. The expo consisted of a centralised stand area, along with a separate, seated interview space.The organiser is now considering a similar expo in Bristol in April next year, and hopes to return to London in October.

Background. Listeria monocytogenes (LM) is currently the third most frequent pathogen of bacterial meningitis in adults. Methods. A prospective study of patients with LM meningitis in a Czech tertiary care hospital, carried out from 1997 to 2012. Results. Thirty-one patients were diagnosed with LM meningitis, which was 7% of a total of 440 adult patients with acute bacterial meningitis (ABM) over a 16-year period. Their median age was 63 years, range 26–80 years. Nineteen patients (61%) had underlying immunocompromising comorbidity; 15 patients (48%) were older than 65 years. Fourteen patients (45%) had arterial hypertension. The typical triad of fever, neck stiffness, and altered mental status was present in 21 patients (68%). The median count of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leukocytes was 680/L, protein level 2.6 g/L, and glucose ratio 0.28. Four patients (13%) died, and nine (29%) survived with moderate to severe sequelae. Conclusion. LM meningitis is known to affect immunosuppressed and elderly patients. Arterial hypertension seems to be another important predisposing factor. Clinical symptoms, CSF findings, and disease outcomes, did not significantly differ from other community-acquired ABM in our study, although the CSF leukocyte count was lower. Ampicillin showed good clinical and bacteriological efficacy in the majority of patients.

Leonard and Reva Brooks: Artists in Exile in San Miguel de Allende
€ 51,99
Besorgung - Lieferbarkeit unbestimmt
Oktober 2001
BeschreibungIn 1947 Leonard and Reva Brooks left for Mexico where Leonard planned to study painting for a year. In Mexico they discovered a vibrant, sometimes even dangerous, society and a dynamic artistic community, unlike the mundane world they had left behind in Canada with its stale and unwelcoming artistic scene. Invigorated by their new environment Leonard and Reva ended up staying for over half a century, playing a key role in establishing San Miguel de Allende as a world-famous art colony. In this new biography, John Virtue chronicles the lives of these two important artists and offers an intimate look at these complex and creative people.
Pressestimmen"Virtue's extensive research into the lives of Leonard and Reva Brooks opens our eyes to the circle of Canadian artists who made their home in San Miguel, Mexico. The book is an excellent resource for students of Canadian art and culture and a timely record of a passing generation of artists." Anna Hudson, assistant curator, Canadian Art, Art Gallery of Ontario

If you can not see any situation for shooting an eight year old you need to work on mindset. I can see situations where you would have to or at least should shoot any and all others. Only thing is you need to be able to explain to a jury of 12 why you where justified in doing so.Originally Posted by SCXDm9
I see no situation that shooting an eight year old is the best answer.
Justification for shooting comes from their action not from their looks or who they are. If his action warrant you doing so could you shoot a LEO uniform? I sit here at the keyboard and say yes. But it all comes down to your mindset and how you work on it.

I love Bond movies and one of the things I like the most about Bond Movies is to see the Bond Girls' looks! In fact, seeing what the Bond Girls are wearing and how they do their hair and makeup is sometimes my favourite parts of the movies! … I saw Skyfall about two weeks ago on the opening night here in South Africa and actress Bérénice Marlohe who played the Bond Girl 'Severine' definitely did NOT disappoint! I was in complete 'awe' of how absolutely stunning she looked! … Everything from her gorgeous gown to her hair and of course … her makeup! She had an absolutely gorgeous sultry version of a 'reverse smoky eye' which is a huge makeup trend for 2013 and is a perfect look for holiday parties! So of course I had to try it! This is how I got the look.
1) Create a Flawless Complexion: Severine's complexion was absolutely flawless! … So I started by making sure I also had a flawless complexion by using my favourite BB cream which is Smashbox Camera Ready BB Cream in 'Light' (which you can see my review for here.) and my MAC Select Cover up in NC30 to cover up any blemishes I had. (TIP: dabbing a bit of white eyeliner onto the blemish before applying your concealer helps to make it disappear … See more ways that white eyeliner can be a lifesaver here.)
2) Fill in Eyebrows:
To pull off heavy eye makeup like Severine's, eyebrows should be full so fill in your eyebrows if you need to. I use a brow kit by a company called 2K that is sold in stores called Mikyaji that are located in the Middle East. If you don't have a brow kit, don't worry a matte eye shadow in a shade of brown that is one shade lighter than your brows if you have naturally dark brows, or one shade darker than your brows if you have naturally light brows will work just fine. Use an angle or liner brush in small strokes that mimic the hair growth to fill the brows in. I use my Benefit Benefit Get Bent Liner Brush to do the trick.
3) Use a Black Gel Liner to Create a Thick Line on The Upper Lash-Line:
I used my Smashbox Cream Eye Liner in Caviar with my Benefit Get Bent Liner Brush (again) to create a thick and dark line along my upper lash line. The line should be slightly winged out and extend past the outer corner of the lash line. The line doesn't have to be done perfectly because a layer of eye shadow and more liner will be placed on top of it. Also, notice that Severine's dark eye makeup goes all the way to her tear duct and slightly down … I got this effect by drawing a little dip at the inner corner of my eye past my tear duct with the gel liner. (I hope this is making sense but if not maybe the pictures help? … Let me know)
4) Use a Gel Liner to Create a Thick Line Below The Lower Lash-Line:
Using the same gel liner and liner brush, I created a thick and dark line just below my lashes on my lower lash-line … Again, extend it out past the outer corner of the eye so that it adds to the 'wing' created by the liner on the upper lash line.
5) Sweep a Dark 'Greige' (Grey/Taupe) Eye Shadow Across the Upper Lid:
Severine seems to be wearing a black eye shadow on her lids but to keep this look more wearable for us 'regular folk' I used a dark grey/taupe shade … When wearing it over the black liner it still creates the sultry 'Bond Girl' effect that we are going for here. I used a shade called 'Captivate' from my Stila In The Moment Eyeshadow Palette (which you can see my review for here) with a wide flat eye shadow brush (It's a MAC brush that is so old, the number has faded but I think it's the 249 brush). For this step I swept the eye shadow across the upper lid, over the gel liner, along the lash-line, past the outer corner of the eye, using the gel liner as a guide for the 'wing'. Hopefully you can see what I mean in the picture above.
6) Use The Same 'Greige' Eye Shadow Under the Lower Lash line:
Use the same eye shadow and brush that you used in the step above to apply the eye shadow along the lower lash line, under the lashes, over the line created by the gel liner in step 4 … Again, use the gel liner as a guide to extend the eye shadow past the outer corner of the eye to add to the 'wing' that was created with the gel liner. (At this point it might start looking a little messy … don't worry the next step will fix that!)
7) Use a Clean Fluffy Eye Shadow Brush to Blend The Eye Shadow:
Use the brush in soft little circular motions to blend and soften the edges of the eye shadow.
8) Apply a Pearly White Eye Shadow to The Brow Bone and Blend It Out:
I used the shade 'Instinct' from the Stila In The Moment Eye Shadow Palette that I used in steps 5 and 6 and used the same wide, flat eye shadow brush to apply it. Then repeated step 7 on my brow bone to blend it.
9) (Optional) Clean The Edges using a Q-tip and Concealer:
If you have any 'fallout' from the eye shadow or feel like you need to neaten the edges, you can try this little trick: Dip a Q-tip in a little bit of Concealer and use it to 'clean' up the look.
10) Use a Black Pencil Eye Liner to Line the Upper Lash Line and Lower Waterline:
When lining the upper lid, stay as close as possible to the lash line and create a very slight wing, using the eye shadow and gel liner as a guide. For the lower lid, simply line the waterline.
11) Use Your Favourite Volume-izing Mascara:
I used my current favourite mascara, Too Faced Lashghasm which you can see my review for here. I also used these tricks to get the most volume, lift, and length out of the mascara.
The sultry, smoky Bond Girl eyes are now done!
12) Contour The Cheekbones:
Severine has extremely high beautifully sculpted cheekbones! To get the look of higher, sculpted cheekbones I used the bronzer, highlighter and blush in the Elizabet Arden palette shown above to apply my quick and easy contouring method.
13) Line Lips and Apply a Vampy Coloured Lipstick:
Before applying any bold coloured lipstick you want to make sure you're lips are smooth and moisturized because if they are not, the lip colour will only make any cracks and dryness on your lips more noticeable. To avoid this, prep your lips by exfoliating and moisturizing them first. (I used my Lush Minty Julips lip scrub to exfoliate and my Burt's Bees tinted lip Balm in Rhubarb before applying my lip colour.). Since I didn't have a plum lipstick like Serene's (which is now on my wish-list!), I used my Estee Lauder Pure Color lipstick in a burgundy shade called Plumberry, which is shown above. Since I didn't have a lip liner to match it, I used a lip brush with the lipstick to line my lips before I filled in my lips with the lipstick. *UPDATE: I found the perfect plum lip colour for this look! … You can see it here. 🙂
TIP: If you have any 'spill out' from your lipstick you can use the trick that I used in step 9 with the q-tip and concealer to clean around the edges of your lips and give it a more crisp look. (For more tips on making sure your bold coloured lipstick application is perfect, see here.)
… And my Skyfall Bond Girl Look is Done!
I know that it seems like there are a lot of steps to get this look but I'm sure Bérénice Marlohe didn't just wake up looking like Severine … or maybe she did … but in any case if you plan to make an impression on a night out and don't mind putting a little extra effort into it, then I'm sure you will find this look totally worth it!
Hope you guys liked this post!

IRVINE, Calif. --- Jordan Fox went 2 for 3 with four RBI as No. 22 UC Irvine (11-1) defeated Sacramento State, 5-3, Saturday at Cicerone Field at Anteater Ballpark. The win gives head coach Mike Gillespie his 900th career victory as the fourth-year skipper of the Anteaters improves to 900-526-2 in his 24th year of Division I coaching.
Fox, who had a bases-clearing double added single and a sacrifice fly while Jordan Leyland hit his second home run of the season to go 1 for 4 with an RBI. Jimmy Litchfield earned the win after two scoreless innings in relief and Brian Hernandez locked down his second save after striking out one and inducing a double-play groundball to third to end the game.
Sacramento State led for the first time in the series in the first. Jake Chilton hit a leadoff single and took second on a hit to left by Eli Davis. Following a fielder's choice, starter Kyle Hooper issued a walk to load the bases and Kirby Young hit a deep fly-ball to right for the sacrifice. Derrick Chung doubled in a run and looked to take a 3-0 lead on the play but an Anteater relay from left-field would cut down Andrew Ayers at home plate.
UCI answered in the third as Shaeffer kicked off the frame with a single to left. Tommy Reyes and D.J. Crumlich drew a pair of base on balls to load the bases for Fox, who hit an 0-1 offering from starter Dallas Chadwick to give the Anteaters a 3-2 lead.
However, the Hornets struck again in the fourth. Ayers doubled to left and Chung came up with the run-scoring hit to left to tie the score at 3-3 but Leyland led off the fourth with a solo home run to give UCI a 4-3 edge.
UCI would tack on another run on Fox's sacrifice fly to right in the seventh.
Litchfield took over on the mound in the fifth and gave up a pair of singles with one out but induced an inning-ending double-play grounder to short to end the threat. After retiring the side in order in the sixth, Litchfield gave up a double to lead off the seventh. Andrew Thurman entered and proceeded to strike out the side. Thurman logged 1.1 innings and Matt Whitehouse retired two batters before yielding a bunt-single to lead off the ninth.
Chadwick fell to 1-2 with the loss while Chung paced the Hornet offense with two RBI on three hits.


text: Assuming you believe Jerry has been a main drive of the changes, can you think of a situation where the owner/GM drove a 'rework' of the system and staff under the HC, but retained the HC? I am not trying to get into an argument with you if you believe Garrett made all these decisions...so please don't sabotage the thread if you think Garrett is orchestrating all this. I am just curious, assuming you do think Jerry is the main driver, if you can think of a similar situation in the past.

Converting a closed porch to an open porch
I have a seasonal room that I don't use (was initially meant to be a porch then enclosed, only has one vent to heat/cool) and would like to convert into an open covered porch. The room is on a concrete foundation with storm windows and a slanted ceiling. this is a large house with no exterior porch with shade. I can install a sliding glass door from living room to this room. My question is, how to insulate the soon to be exterior walls? Also what to do with the ceiling tiles? change them to be more outdoor friendly. This room is about 14 X 18.
I would think the walls were already insulated from your description. You can check by either removing an outlet cover or baseboard molding and looking behind the sheetrock.
What do you mean by ceiling tiles? Dropped ceiling or staple up on a grid? If it's a dropped ceiling, put in the plastic covered fiberglass tiles.
If it's the staple up material, you can replace it with a wood beadboard or just try to put a few coats of exterior paint and see how they hold up.
converting porch
The ceiling tiles are those that are stapled to the ceiling. bead board might work and I like the idea of painting with exterior paint - to seal it. I did look and there is insulation:) I think that if I use some foam board then put up either siding or something it should work. Thanks for the suggestions.

Canoecopia started small, a modest event called "meet the folks who build the boats." The original owner of Rutabaga hoped to sell a half a dozen canoes at his sidewalk sale. He sold eleven canoes (this is long before kayaks were around) and was delighted. That was around 1976.
In 1981, the word "Canoecopia" was first used in a mailer from the old store in Park Street. The sport was growing and Rutabaga began to rent the Dane County Forum and Arena, where we would empty the store of merchandise and pile it high, deep, and cheap. The 20,000 square-foot Forum building was barely large enough to handle the crowd, and we had one area draped off for the speaker. One speaker. That continued for a while with overflow into the Arena for boats and such.
In the early 90s the Dane County Forum was bulldozed to make room for the new Dane County Expositional Hall. We added 30,000 feet to a total of 50,000 square feet and had about 70 exhibitors. We now had three speaker rooms, not one, and Canoecopia started to grow in popularity. Year by year we added rooms until we took the whole hall, all 100,000 square feet, plus all the speaker and meeting rooms. Now we have six speaker rooms and are spilling over into the hallways. When the Alliant Energy Center (its new name) adds room, we'll add room too.
From a dozen customers and a few trailers of boats to over 20,000 annual attendees and hundreds of exhibitors didn't happen overnight. The reason Canoecopia grew is because of people like you. Thanks for your past attendance, and thanks in advance to new attendees. See you at the show!
Now for the pictures
One of the coolest things about Canoecopia is that everyone but everyone shows up for the event. Here Jim Clark, my buddy and the then-president of Perception descends from his corporate headquarters to speak with consumers. He likes to see where the rubber meets the road.
It's quite a job filling a 100,000 square foot hall with manufacturers, exhibitors, outfitters and finally,
. Here's a photo from the upper deck, just before we let you in.
Once again we filled the hall with hundreds of boats from manufacturers all over the world. Here's a good shot of Valley and NDK, with Winde Sports and Slick Rydr Trailers in the background. Notice the lack of people in the aisles. This is Friday, 4:05 PM, long before the carnage began.
Billy Turner from Perception tests his own product, while Brian Henry from Current Designs gives advise on writing instruments.
The American Traders folks always bring a well-stocked booth that shines with the beauty of clear cedar. The swing (seen in the middle-bottom of the picture) is always occupied.
The speakers at Canoecopia vary their topics, but the quality is consistently amazing. The things I learn when I'm snooping around just for a few minutes is totally amazing. Here a group waits for Rolf and Debra Kraiker's presentation on backcountry nutrition.
Sit-on-top kayaks create a considerable number of smiley faces. These two young ladies sat there for a long long time. I don't know what they were thinking, but I think they were good thoughts.
Many of the former shop staff come back for a sort of Canoecopia Homecoming. Here's ex-staffer Eric Raffini (left) showing an anonymous customer (right) the virtues of Nigel Dennis Kayak's recessed deck fittings.
The amount of information at Canoecopia can be a bit overwhelming sometimes. Here a couple looks over the catalogs and various other forms of propaganda from the manufacturers.
Saturday, about 12:00 noon
. The lines, though they looked long, moved surprisingly fast (about 25 minutes was the longest wait for accessories). The boat line wasn't so fast, but we're gonna fix that next year - more machines, better signage (up high where you can see it.) Page is right under the white word that says Page. Wave to Mom, Page
Darren listens to Fred Hartray tell stories (although we forget about what) while Landis Arnold, President of Prijon USA listens with amusement. Darren looks fried but it's Sunday and he's on his 80th hour for that week

Some manufacturers place restrictions on how details of their products may be communicated.
This review is from: Vivitar 2400M Universal Hot-Shoe Camera Digital Flash With 12 Guide Number Lighting
I bought this mainly because of the price they were selling for. I was not sure of what I was going to receive. I have got to say it's really good. I have only used a few times but so far it works nice. The mount is plastic, and works unless you plan to carry your camera by the flash and swing it around I don't see a problem. The recharge time is about 3 sec. with good batteries. Nice product Vivitar and 1SaleADay !! Thank you both.
no cons very happy

RE: st: RE: AW: Creating single values from a nested data file
Wed, 16 Dec 2009 17:37:19 -0000
As I understand your slowly emerging problem: Not so.
A side-effect of mapping all but one value to missing will be to exclude all the changed observations from any subsequent model fit. Thus you end up using just one observation from each school, which you do not want at all.
The source you are using is not drawing on any information about how Stata works. What you are asking in effect is that Stata impute the missings on the fly within schools, but it won't do that.
Your original data structure is, again if I understand you, not only fine for your purpose but the only one that will be appropriate for your problem.
Otherwise put: everyone who answered gave good advice for what they understood to be your problem. But everyone was addressing problems that differ from your need.
Russel Wildeman
Because of the nested data structure, the value of the school-level
variables (ie those that have been aggregated) will be duplicated for the
same school (because for the same school, they must be the same), whereas I
wanted only one record (I must not say observation and this is what was
perhaps confusing-my apologies) per school. This should do the trick
I want to model class size and educational outcomes jointly and the source I
am using suggests it is computationally more efficient to have only one
record per school. I want to use a multilevel bivariate response model for
this task.
Martin Weiss
Actually, I had the same idea as Jeph initially, because Rusell requested
that "... one of the school-level variables (classize) ... have only one
observation per school", but I dismissed it as unlikely. If this is indeed
what Rusell wants, I would be interested to hear what kind of analysis
requires that the variable have only one non-missing value per unit (Schools
in his case).
Furthermore, he could then look at -egen, tag()- which would give him an
indicator variable which he could condition on in subsequent analysis
instead of -drop-ping the remaining cases outright.
Jeph Herrin
If I understand correctly,
bys school : replace classize=. if _n>1

A vintage pair of earrings featuring a lady's fan. The interior of the fans have a faceted green rhinestone decoration. On the outside we see a filigree loop design. These are a screw back closure. The metal setting has a gold tone finish.
We did not find a mark to help us identify a maker but would date them in the 1940s for a time period.
Measuring 3/4" long, we find these to be in beautiful vintage condition without damage.
Curio - an object displayed for its attractiveness or interest
Intriguing estate finds in antiques, vintage collectibles, silver, jewelry and more.

Today's guest blogger, Debbie from reFresh reStyle, is one seriously talented lady! I "met" her a few months ago when I discovered THIS POST and I have been hooked ever since! (you really will want to check out that link, you are going to be blown away!) So...needless to say, I am so happy she is my guest here today!
Hi, I'm Debbie from reFresh reStyle! I'm excited to be here, I thought I'd share this fun, fast project and I hope you'll visit me and see what else I've been up too!
Thanks Carmella for the opportunity of guest posting!
Mrs. B and I go to lunch every Tuesday, and some of those lunches end with a trip to Hobby Lobby (less calories than dessert!). We walk around discussing items and what we would do with them. I don't know how many times we've picked these up and said, I want to do something with one:
The Cardboard "W"
The Cardboard "W"
The pressed paper cardboard letter! Finally, I came up with something! A framed cardboard letter! To create the frame I used a 10 cent (from a yard sale) cabinet door. The letter was $1.06 ($1.77 w/40% discount), that brings to total to $1.16. I know, I am a big spender!
I love the print on this scrapbook paper!
Traced around it, and cut out the shape, leaving enough to cover the edges. I used Elmer's white school glue to adhere.

I sanded everything and finished with wax.
Leaned it on the mantle to take a picture. I think it will end up in the kitchen or among the photos in my gallery wall. I am trying to incorporate some blues in my decor!
Debbie, Thank you so much for sharing your talent with all of us!! I love this project so much, and can't wait to give it a try!

Howard Bloom
Longtime Piedmont resident Howard Bloom passed away on Sept. 1, 2013 at age 94. He was predeceased by his wife, Pearl, just before their 60th wedding anniversary.
A World War II Army veteran, Howard served on a gun crew in the Aleutian Islands and then as a reconnaissance warrant officer in Europe. After the war, he became a pioneer in the paper recycling business and eventually started a real estate company, which he continued to run until his death.
An avid hunter, fisherman, skier, boatman and pilot, Howard loved the outdoors and caught his last fish, a 38.5-pound salmon, in British Columbia this June. Howard raised orchids and spent countless hours in his beloved garden.
A man of honor, his handshake was his word. Whether driving his red Porsche to Tahoe, planning dinner parties or spending time with his family, Howard filled his life with his passions, interests and those he loved.
He will be deeply missed by his daughter, Jeanne Eber, his granddaughters, Lauren Casparis and Lauren Eber, son-in-law Martin Spottl, two great-grandchildren, Samuel and Lucia Spottl, and his dog Rocky.
Ludwig M. Tannenwald
Ludwig M. Tannenwald died at his home in Palo Alto, Calif., on June 26, 2013, surrounded by his devoted family, due to Parkinson's/Lewy body disease.
He was born in Frankfurt A.M., Germany, and came to Chicago with his parents in September 1938. He received his Ph.D. in Theoretical Physics from the University of Chicago at age 23. He spent his career in research and loved physics. He was a longtime member of Congregation Kol Emeth in Palo Alto, a Hadassah associate and keeper.
He is survived by his wife of 50 years, Carol, daughter Diane (Jim Grishaw) of Piedmont, Calif., and son Eric (Laura) of Palo Alto. He was the much beloved Sabah of Max, Eli and Sarah Tannenwald of Palo Alto. He was the cousin of Helmut Schwab (Appleton, Wis.) and Liese Hass (Fort Lee, N.J.). After a memorial service at Kol Emeth, burial took place in Colma on June 28.

Date of Stay: March, 2013
First of all, campers are charged extra if they have more than one car (including motorcycles). Our friends had a motorhome, car and motorcycle - the owner told him if he removed the motorcycle from the lift, he would be charged extra. The owner doesn't like kids. He told me that's why he doesn't have a swimming pool or playground. He does rake his roads almost daily. He also shows favoritism to the more expensive rigs.
Date of Stay: January, 2013
The manager and his wife have absolutely no people skills. Most of the snow birds are going to another park next year. We were promised a valentine's dinner "provided by the manager" but he wanted everyone to pay for it. He is only here during happy hour (1 hour a day). If you come in without reservations, he will tell you he is full. We had spots available all winter. If your spot is available, he won't allow you to come in early (he doesn't seem to know how to charge you - because there aren't 31 days in each month). The one work camper tries very hard to make up for the managers shortcomings. If this park had a different manager it would be full. Everything is nice here except for the manager and his wife. We will not return as long as the current manager is here.
Date of Stay: May, 2012
The park was perfect for us. We stayed 7 months to be near my Father, age 94, who is living alone nearby. The private lake was well stocked with fish. We swam and fished often. We could have campfires (wood and ring provided). Our dish worked fine. We used our own wi-fi. You could also receive mail. Our Yorkies had a blast chasing squirrels. The owner was very helpful. The only drawback was during hunting season. We would stay there again.

Dog adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog and you'll have a friend for life! Contact us, or contact another local humane society, animal shelter or SPCA.
We are always looking for volunteers to help foster, transport and help with fund raising and of course we always accept donations.
All of our rescues are spayed/neutered, brought Up-tp-Date on vaccinations as well as heart worm tested and micro-chipped.
Why should you adopt?
Dog adoption and cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog or adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life! What is the difference between adopting a dog or puppy versus getting dogs for sale or puppies for sale from a dog breeder? When someone is breeding puppies, they are creating new dogs who need homes. Some people are interested in a very specific breed of dog or puppy and they think the only way to find that specific breed is to buy a dog for sale from a puppy breeder. Yet animal shelters are filled with dogs who must find homes. So rather than buying a dog or puppy for sale from a dog breeder, we encourage people to adopt a dog or adopt a puppy at their local animal shelter, SPCA, humane society or pet rescue group.

This is a blog to chronicle this portion of the life of Staff Sgt. Jason Ross, my son, as he mends, after an I.E.D. explosion, on March 7, 2011, while serving his country in Afghanistan.

December 22, 2011 - Getting Back Together
After we were done eating breakfast we figured it was time to get over to PT (or maybe OT) and begin some of Jason's out patient care and rehab. Actually nothing had been scheduled or planned, but we figured we go anyway - just in case. We got there and saw Dr. Pyu, and also found out that there really wasn't anything planned today, for Jason. Dr. Pyu was actually pretty happy that we were there, as he wanted to get Jason over to the prosthetic guys, so they could begin working on a prosthetic for Jason. We went over and spoke with them, and they gave some basic instruction to Jason, and set up an appointment for next month, and otherwise it was just nice meeting them. Once that was done we headed back home. I commented to Jason how odd it felt that we didn't have several things to do. While an in patient Jason was kept VERY busy most days, and now it was almost like everything slowed to a crawl. Maybe its just the holidays.
I got a call from Joyce (not my sister-in-law), and she and her husband were wanting to come by and put up a Christmas tree, and some decorations for the house. I let her know that we needed to be over at the hospital at 13:00 (1:00pm) for an appointment with a Nurse Practitioner, and she said she could be over well before that. Anyway, decorations were well on their way when Jason and I left to go, and left the two of them in the house. We were totally comfortable with them in the house, since they brought a bunch of the stuff that is now in the house, and we've gotten to know Joyce over these past several weeks.
Back at the hospital again, we talked with the Nurse Practitioner and she said she was going to be setting up several appointments for Jason, and then wanted to see Jason's wounds. It was a little early for a dressing change, but what the heck, she was the medical professional and she wanted to guide us properly. As it turned out I did the dressing removal and had to help them get the correct materials when it came time to re-apply. I did most of that work too, and I think Jason was probably more comfortable with me doing it anyway, since I'm familiar with what needs to be done. The nurse was very grateful for my assistance, and for procuring the supplies. They typically don't carry them, and again, Jason is different from what they are used to working with. Not concerned though, as it has been the same at just about every turn.
The visit at the hospital took a little longer than we expected, so we wanted to get back to the house as soon as we could. Bridgette was supposed to be coming soon, and the house wasn't even close to what we had hoped. Just as we were done putting things away, and I had just gone up stairs, Bridgette showed up with her U-haul trailer and her dad. They had driven across from North Carolina, and both of them were quite tired. The house looked pretty good, and now that there was a tree with all the decorations and the rest of the house, it was a good positive start to the rest of their lives together.
We went out to dinner, and enjoyed a relaxing meal. Bridgette's dad is staying at the Holiday Inn Express, since were out of places to sleep at this house (maybe that's why Jason wanted four bedrooms). We came back from dinner and I got all of Jason's meds ready for him, and even his 06:00 for tomorrow morning. Bridgette said she would be getting up to make sure he took them, so I just might be able to sleep in for a change... naw... I'll be up around 6, like I always am. Then I'll be headed over to the airport a little later in the morning to pick up Linda and the girls (Stacy and Jackie) as they are flying in tomorrow morning. The family will be back together again, and with God's help they will be able to get back to as close to a normal life as they can.
Thank you, all for all your continued support and prayers.

Nothing like going home....Your story and long recovery has been a daily message that you don't stop fighting until you shake the hand of your maker.Amen.Don't stop the blog, at least make a weekly update or something like that.For me, I can always ask Aunt Joyce how Jason is doing.My Christmas wish has already come try but I do have another, and that is I wish all the losers in the world would read this story and pick themselves up and stop feeling sorry for themselves and start living. Jason is an example of someone who had all the odds against him, yet he pulled on and on and on. Well, have a Merry Christmas and Jason your job is not over, it as has just begun.The future is yours and I know you will touch people all over the world who are willing to receive your desire to live and awareness that life is a challenge, a game worth playing and is meant to charish.

Immigration: After releasing tens of thousands of criminal aliens, President Obama urgently asks law enforcement officials to lean on Republicans to pass amnesty. Will the GOP deport itself out of victory this year?
Congressman Lamar Smith called it "the worst prison break in American history, except it was sanctioned by the president and perpetrated by our own immigration officials."
According to a document obtained from the Center for Immigration Studies, Immigration and Customs Enforcement released 36,007 convicted aliens last year who were being detained pending deportation. The tally includes 193 convictions for homicide, 426 for sexual assault, 303 for kidnapping, 1,075 for aggravated assault and 16,070 for drunk or drugged driving.
Rep. Smith, a Texas Republican, reacted by calling for a hold on consideration of immigration reform.
Why would a president let loose so many alien criminals? It might be the incompetence we've come to expect from this administration. But don't forget Obama knows a lot of these criminals will vote for his party.
Addressing law enforcement representatives on Tuesday, he emphasized there was only "a window of two to three months to get the ball rolling in the House of Representatives" on the amnesty-for-illegals-based immigration overhaul Democrats want so badly. "And your voices are going to be absolutely critical to that effort."
Law enforcement pressure, he said, is "making a difference" against conservative House Republicans opposing amnesty. And it can help Speaker John Boehner and other GOP leaders favoring amnesty get "political space that allows them to go ahead and get it through their caucus and get it done."
Phyllis Schlafly's Eagle Forum has published a landmark report on how the immigrants of today and their children overwhelmingly support expansion of big government, and thus vote overwhelmingly Democratic.
Even without reform, present levels of legal immigration "will add nearly 15 million new potential voters by 2036, a large share of whom will favor the Left," it points out.
Unless legal immigration is reduced — something that can only happen with Republicans in power in both Congress and the White House — "it will force Republicans to either permanently become a minority party or move to the left politically," the report warned.
But immigration isn't just a long-term threat to the GOP. Amnesty for illegals will this year "alienate the Republican base, working class whites, at least 4 million of whom stayed home in 2012," the Eagle Forum analysis pointed out.
Yet the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, thinking only of quick, cheap labor, continues to divide Republicans, nonsensically warning the party this week not to bother fielding a presidential candidate for 2016 without an amnesty this year.
Now that even Obama has stressed to supporters what a priority it is for him, will Republicans — as ever, the Stupid Party — catch on that amnesty is their electoral death warrant? You're better off betting on a criminal alien being deported.

From Jordan
The most important thing when it comes to budgeting is figuring out what is important enough to buy. No matter how much money you make, this should be a question in your mind before you buy anything. A lot of my friends go out and buy ridiculously expensive items with their own hard-earned money. These items will be gone in a year or two, but they buy them anyway: tire rims, stereo systems, iPods and other "cool" things that they really don't need. I think that by not buying these things and just spending your money on what you really do need, you will budget your money much better and have more money later on. For the most part, I spend most of my money on food. By only spending money on food, I always have enough when I am hungry! So you really need to choose what is more important to you and budget your money around that.
From Joyce
I only had two sources of 'income' in my pre-teen years. One were the 'red packets' I received for Chinese New Year. My grandparents and parents were usually generous enough so that I won't be broke throughout the year. The 'red packets' also carried blessings for me so they are especially meaningful, and I saved up a large part of them. The other occasion for which I was given money was summer time. I usually spent my summers with my grandparents and my sister and I each got a huge allowance for those two months. We carefully drew up shopping lists way ahead of summer (like during
spring break) and we noted down each of our expenses in detail, like where we
bought it, the day we made the purchase, and how much we spent on it. It was a good experience and also good practice, I think. I spent most of that money on books and also some on clothes.
From Vanessa
I feel I manage my money pretty well. I keep track of what money goes where. I make sure I only keep about five to ten dollars in my wallet for emergencies (like "whoops, forgot breakfast!"). I try not to spend money on leisure things like CD's, DVD's, and headphones, although those could arguably be essentials (just kidding). I do not have a job. I get money from scholarships and financial aid related things. I am a full-time (or rather over-time) student and 95% of the money I save up goes to school. The other 5% goes into stocks and mutual funds, and savings. So for now, my budget is tight. I think it's important to have money on hand, but not too much because then you will be compelled to spend it. Having a balance of your money between savings, necessary things, and fun stuff is also a good idea. Try to figure out what percentage of your money goes in each category based on your priorities. Maybe you don't need to save a whole lot of money, so a greater percentage would be in fun stuff or school. But it is always important to save some money. Good luck! Remember that money is fun. Don't get caught up in working hard, but in working smart!

Preparing for a PandemicGardiner Morse
Posted on HBR Editors' Blog: April 27, 2009 1:00 PM
"Should a pandemic emerge," wrote Dr. Jeffrey Staples in HBR's 2006 special report on avian flu, "it would become the single greatest threat to business continuity and could remain so for up to 18 months." Staples' warning is just as relevant today, though the threat, as you've probably heard, is from swine flu.
The outbreak that is believed to have killed more than 100 in Mexico and sickened dozens of others from North America to New Zealand could take any course: it may be relatively mild and quickly contained—or it could explode into a deadly pandemic that closes borders, severs supply chains, shuts down businesses and kills thousands. The World Health Organization declared the outbreak an international health emergency on Sunday, though it didn't raise the Pandemic Threat Level, its gauge of the chance the flu could become a global epidemic. Still, as Staples wrote, "little stands between best-and-worst-case scenarios."
What should business do in this unpredictable environment? Obviously, avoiding nonessential travel to areas with confirmed cases is wise, as is discouraging presenteeism (employees coming to work sick) and practicing sensible infection control.
But as important, companies need to be sure they have plans in place for the worst case. The 1918-1919 influenza killed an estimated 50 million people. How would your company manage if a third of its workforce dropped out because of sickness, quarantines, travel bans, or fear of contagion? What would you do if a main office overseas suddenly went dark or your CEO fell ill and died? What if your trading partners closed their borders?
Whether this swine flu outbreak becomes a pandemic is anybody's guess; that there will be a global flu pandemic in the future is virtually certain. In the next pandemic, continuity plans developed now may determine which companies prevail and which flounder or fail.
The advice in these articles from our avian flu special report is essential reading for business, whether a pandemic materializes this time or not. Below you can find links to all of the stories in the special report.

North East may need several new hitters to step up this season to fill in holes left by graduation, and, so far, Pete Seymour has come through.
The senior first baseman and designated hitter ripped a two-run double to tie the Grapepickers' first game of the season against Hickory at 2-2.
North East went on to win 4-2 and in the process pick up an impressive road victory. Seymour then drove in two runs on two hits in an 11-4 win over Mercyhurst Prep and has emerged as a clutch hitter for the 'Pickers.

I just finished the first nine issues of Garth Ennis's CROSSED, and - without going into detail - it's a pretty grim read.
All the same, I can't help wondering if writers currently working in the industry are in some sort of weird competition to see whose version of the apocalypse is more grisly and "badass" than the other's. If one guy's writing a post-apocalyptic story about cannibalism, the next guy tries to top that by adding rape. The next guy then tries to top rape by adding pedophilia, then bestiality, and so on and so forth.
Normally this wouldn't be that big of a deal for me, but considering we're playing a game about a young girl struggling to survive in the same kind of environment, I sure hope the WD staff hasn't picked up a copy of CROSSED and said to themselves, "Holy shit, we gotta really crank it up if we're going to stay one step ahead of geniuses like Ennis! Let's have Rebecca's child forcibly removed from her womb and eaten by rabid weasels while Alvin is forced to watch!"
I don't think this is about 'good storytelling' so much, as trying to fit in with a more nihilistic-minded zeitgeist.

For immediate release
Contact: Alisa Harrison, 202-628-8000
WASHINGTON, Nov. 4, 2009—The International Franchise Association today urged the House of Representatives to oppose a health care reform bill unveiled last week by House leadership.
"While we support efforts to reform our nation's health care system, we cannot support reform at any price. We urge Congress to oppose H.R. 3962, the Affordable Health Care for America Act," IFA Vice President of Government Relations David French wrote in a letter sent today to all members of the House. "We do not believe that this legislation achieves meaningful, long-term control of U.S. health care costs."
French said that IFA has a long history of advocating for changes in health care laws that allow employers to provide health care benefits to their employees and restrain ever increasing health insurance costs. He explained that IFA is supportive of several provisions in the legislation that make necessary changes in the insurance market and provide pathways for some small businesses to access affordable coverage, but the $1 trillion cost of the bill raises serious concerns.
"Much of the revenue necessary for this level of federal spending will come on the backs of small franchise businesses through a series of tax surcharges and penalties," French said. "The IFA's long standing priority is to ensure that health insurance is more affordable for franchise businesses and their employees."
In addition, IFA opposes any federal mandate for employers to provide health coverage and the creation of a public option that will, over time, shift costs onto the vast majority of employers that provide private insurance coverage.
"H.R. 3962 is a significant government intrusion into the benefits decisions of employers and it clearly fails IFA's basic test of enhancing coverage option for small employers without increasing cost," French said. "In order to comply with the new mandates required by H.R. 3962, franchised businesses would have to scale back wages, reduce hiring and raise prices for services. These measures will further stunt economic recovery and curtail future job growth."

Anyone who reads advice books about romance has one problem to begin with: bad taste in literature. The idea that a book can advise a woman how to capture a man is touchingly naive. Books advising men how to capture a woman are far less common, perhaps because few men are willing to admit to such a difficulty. For both sexes, I recommend a good novel, offering scenarios you might learn from, if only because they reflect a lot of doubt.
Nevertheless, in 2009, comedian and radio host Steve Harvey wrote a best-seller titled Act Like a Lady, Think Like a Man: What Men Really Think About Love, Relationships, Intimacy and Commitment. This was advice for women. It apparently left some questions, because in 2011, Harvey felt the demand for another book, Straight Talk, No Chaser: How to Find and Keep a Man. A small industry had been set in motion, which inspired Maria Bustillo's Act Like a Gentleman, Think Like a Woman: A Woman's Response to Steve Harvey's Act Like a Lady, Think Like a Man (2009). What are Bustillo's qualifications? One month before that book, she published Dorkismo: The Macho of the Dork.
Among Harvey's qualifications are that he's been married three times, and possibly gained some insights from his two ex-wives about how they failed to keep him. This is not a history to inspire confidence, but in the movie "Think Like a Man," we're expected to believe that every woman in the film bought the book and started living her life according to it. The twist comes when the men in their lives discover their secret reading and study the book themselves. Now the men know the women's game plan.
Starting with its title, this movie must be one of the greatest examples of product placement in history. We see Steve Harvey plugging the book on a daytime talk show, and then he appears again from time to time to deliver advice straight to the audience. It's a promising device for a sitcom, especially as the film assigns the characters to categories from the book, such as "The Dreamer vs. The Woman Who Is Her Own Man." This is somewhat limiting, because each character is required to behave in a way consistent with his or her label.
But that isn't the real problem. The movie's mistake is to take the book seriously. This might have worked as a screwball comedy or a satire, but can you believe for a moment in characters naive enough to actually live their lives following Steve Harvey's advice? The result is a tiresome exercise that circles at great length through various prefabricated stories defined by the advice each couple needs (or doesn't need).
The cast is superb. It's depressing to find them locked inside this formula. My favorite is Mya (Meagan Good), discouraged by her own promiscuity, who tries to follow the book's advice in dealing with Zeke (Romany Malco). He's a fast-moving ladies' man. She decides he must wait 90 days for sex. This is contrary to both of their natures and builds up such a head of steam, we expect a gasket to blow.
Kevin Hart is funny, too, as a living rebuke to his pals who are studying the book. He spends most of his time in so-called gentleman's clubs, having 30-minute relationships that all have happy endings, and it's hard to argue he isn't happy.
Given that the book advises women about how to capture men, it's an irony that the actresses are among the most beautiful in Hollywood. In addition to Good, it gives us such lovelies as Gabrielle Union, Regina Hall, Taraji P. Henson and Jenifer Lewis. Does it make me a chauvinist if I suggest that finding men must be the least of their problems? The movie is as appropriate for men-seekers as a diet movie starring thin girls.
Let's pretend you're a studio executive. Having read this far, did you spot in this review the brilliant title (and premise) for a new comedy? Maybe you skipped right over it. It was: Dorkismo: The Macho of the Dork.

Cafe One24 in Brookfield focuses on healthful dishes
Cafe One24 in Brookfield opened just last week, and already people are peering into the dinner-only establishment midday as workers prep for dinner, asking if the restaurant is open for lunch.
Not yet, but perhaps by summer, said Sarah Dusseau, the chef. She's also a business partner of café owners Brian and Renee Shecterle.
The restaurant, at 3705 N. 124th St., focuses on clean eating, a style of healthful eating that has its own magazine. Degrees of clean eating vary, but in essence, the restaurant practices scratch cooking, with no processed foods.
The whole wheat pasta dough is made in-house, for instance. "It's very laborious," said Dusseau, whose Fit Food Trainer business inspired the restaurant. "We're just trying to do things right."
There's no deep-fryer at the restaurant, and no butter, just extra-virgin olive oil, the chef said.
"We don't add unnecessary fat or gluten or dairy to anything," she said, adding that the plates are portion-controlled. Not small plates, but not over-the-top.
Café One24 also sources organic and local ingredients.
The grilled flank steak ($17), for example, is grass-fed beef from the state cooperative. It's served with braised rainbow Swiss chard and sautéed wild mushrooms.
Sandwiches, such as the pulled chicken sliders ($12), made from house-smoked organic chicken, are served on sprouted-grain breads.
And salads, such as the grilled vegetable quinoa salad ($11), are made with greens from Milwaukee's Growing Power.
Diners will find gluten-free and vegetarian items noted on the menu.
Clean eating eschews processed sugar, but Café One24 does serve desserts. One this week was organic peach and blueberry cobbler with organic whipped cream — made with organic rolled oats and whole wheat, and maple syrup for sweetening, Dusseau said.
The restaurant serves wines that either are organic or produced sustainably; the majority of its craft beers are from Wisconsin.
Starting this Friday night, the restaurant will have live music — it's acoustic guitar and vocals from 8 to 11 tonight.
Café One24 takes reservations; reach it at (262) 781-1662.

I fell in love with this movie right from the first time I ever saw it many years ago. The story is great, the setting is rich, the music is excellent and cast is superb. And what can you say about Vincent Price, pure genius. The scenes between Price and his loving wife are delicious!! "Remember the fun we had when you tried to poison me?" The end has great twists and turns, and will be a surprise for those who have never seen this film. Unfortunately for those of us who have seen it dozens of times the surprise is long gone, but I make sure that I run it every Halloween. Don't miss it! My only complaint is that TCM feels the need to air it in the middle of the night.
House on Haunted Hill
- Dashiell Barnes
- 10/11/12
The best of Castle's gimmicky horror films. Price is a wealthy man who invites a group of people into his haunted house for the chance to gain $10,000. Obvious special effects are only fault in an otherwise effective & unintentionally funny film. Good entertainment during Halloween time. I give it a 3.5/5.
- 9/8/12
The House on Haunred Hill(1959)
- nshepard
- 9/5/10
Another gem from Master Showman , William Castle. Who else could build a film around the "Ennis Brown" mansion, located in a heavily populated area, and provide an hour and a half of spooky entertainment, with Vincent Price as the creepy host . Frederick Loren(Vincent Price) invites 7 guests for an overnite stay, with each of them to receive $10,000 if they survive. Supposedly picked by an unknown set of demgraphics, probably before the term was popularized , each guest is there for a reason only known to Price. Elijah Cook, jr also stars as Watson Pritchard, who was supposedly attacked by the ghosts. Terrifically atmospherric, sometimes goofy, but for a date film hits on all cylinders. The "House on Haunted Hill" provides that needed boost to knock us off the edge of our seats, but entertainingly and with good taste. Gets 5 stars simply because it works for what it does and is.

Once again proving that the innernets are dragging down the level of discourse in this godforsaken fucking country, the genius Twitter mashup CURSEBIRD wins our timesuck-of-the-day award for showing a real-time feed of . . . every single person who posts a Tweet with a nasty word in it.
That would have been enough to amuse us for at least half an hour. But Cursebird also lets you search by Twitter username to discover how many f-bombs they've dropped in the past week -- and then shows that person's overall ranking relative to everyone else.
Which means that next week, instead of talking about who's got the #1 book on Amazon.com, you're going to be talking about who's in Cursebird's top 10.
Or -- won't we? Right now, a strategic notable omission is the ability to view the top-ranked pottymouths. (Though with a little bit of Googling, you'll find that the #1-ranked Cursebird is this guy.) The site's surfacing random rankings at the top of the page -- but doesn't let you instantly click through to the highest-ranked. Which means instead you sit there staring at the ticker, hoping you'll accidentally see someone in the teens. After a few minutes of that, you'll start entering usernames to see if any famous people rank higher than the plebes . . .
Well, hell, we'll take that as a compliment. Especially since, it seems, even gangster rappers don't swear like gangster rappers:
From our (albeit brief) surfing, the highest-ranking person we could find was . . . Questlove?
Say it ain't so, Mr. Posi Rapper! In his defense, Quest twitters with the frequency of a 13 year old girl, so a few four-letter-words were bound to make it into his feed. But dude: did you know you curse even more that curses curse?

Spiders, bullies, monsters or terrorists: What scares Australian children?
Gilmore, Linda & Campbell, Marilyn (2007) Spiders, bullies, monsters or terrorists: What scares Australian children? Children Australia, 32(3), pp. 29-33.
|PDF (103kB)
In recent times, Australian children have been exposed to a range of frightening images of war and terrorism in the media. To determine the possible impact of such distal events, fears were measured in a sample of 220 children aged 6 to 12 years using the Fear Survey Schedule for Children (FSSC-R) as well as a free option method. On the FSSC-R, the type and intensity of children's fears were similar to previous studies conducted over the past two decades, with being hit by a car, bombs and being unable to breathe producing the most fear. By contrast, spontaneous responses indicated that children's greatest fear was of animals. Surprisingly few children mentioned war and terrorism without prompting. The findings suggest that concerns about Australian children becoming more fearful as a result of media coverage of war and terrorism are not supported.

These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science® generally from 1980 onwards.
Citations counts from the Google Scholar™ indexing service can be viewed at the linked Google Scholar™ search.
