Another Halloween manicure - this time adorable monsters!
|colors l-r: Jesse's Girl All Things Girly, OPI Who the Shrek Are You?, Sally Hansen Complete Crinoline, Wet n' Wild Ink Well topped with Cougar Attack
I love these little guys! I'm a little bummed my pinkie didn't show up better in real life, although I think it looks nice in this picture (just little eyes in the dark). The monster is inspired by this post I found on tumblr, and the frankensteins have been floating around the internet a lot but here's one good source. I made up the silly vampire myself! Yay!
|a view with a thumb!
These are the first pictures I've taken with my light box. I feel like I need some practice with posing my hand and taking pictures at the same time; most of my pictures still seem sort of awkward to me. Overall, I'm really happy with this first set of light box pictures and SUPER happy with how much better my manicures look now that I'm leaving a gap!!!

The fights — featuring Super Middleweight Joey Gilbert, undefeated Brandon "Flawless" Gonzales and former Jr. flyweight champion Ulises Solís, among others — are part of a three-day, Fourth of July weekend celebration of the 100-year anniversary of the fight that pitted Jack Johnson, the nation's first African-American World Champion, against Jim Jeffries, a man known as "The Great White Hope."

{See Day 1 here}
The second day in Charleston started with a Harbor Cruise!
{Ft. Sumter}
{being tourists}
After our Harbor Tour we walked to Poogan's Porch for lunch. Y'all this food was to die for!! They served homemade biscuits in a basket which were SO good. I got the chicken biscuit and the pimiento cheese fritters. This fried chicken was THE best I've ever had. And I've had some damn good fried chicking at Babe's in Ft. Worth. This was better!
After our lunch, Megan and I walked down King street for all the fun shopping! I didn't buy anything but it was fun window shopping!
Then we stopped in at Cupcake!
{my almond cupcake}
{Megan's chocolate cheesecake}
{being tourists again}
After our LONG day of walking, we headed back to Megan's and rested for awhile. We originally planned on doing a big night in downtown, but we were exhausted! Sophie was too :)
We ended up just going to Mellow Mushroom for dinner by Megan's apartment. Pizza, beer, live music... nice relaxing evening!
We did decide to go downtown around 11 so we got ready and about midnight started out night out. I haven't done that in forever!! We ended up at Closed for Business which was a nice laid back bar. I only took one picture and it was of my glass! haha.
Stay tuned for day 3 and 4!

Marinated Olives
selection of olives
finely chopped garlic
curls of lemon rind
handful of chopped parsley
olive oil, if necessary
Buy a selection of nice olives. If your grocer has an olive bar in the deli, start there. Toss in finely chopped garlic, curls of lemon rind, a handful of chopped parsley and a bit of olive oil if lubrication is necessary. Refrigerate.
The longer the olives have to sit and marinate (a couple of days), the better!

A forensic pathologist said Tori may have died from asphyxiation but could not determine the exact cause of death as her body lay undiscovered for up to a week.
After killing her daughter, Bourke hitch-hiked to Queensland and turned herself in to police.
The president of the Victims of Crime Support Association, Noel McNamara, said people convicted of manslaughter should serve at least 75 per cent of the maximum 21-year jail sentence. "I think that to let her back on the street within five years is absolutely disgraceful," he said.
But Father Peter Norden, convener of the Victorian Criminal Justice Coalition,
said Bourke's psychiatric history needed to be considered. He said it was misleading to cast judgments on cases without having heard them in court.
Justice Coldrey said that "in the complex circumstances of this tragic case there is no correct sentence". He said that although Bourke found parenting difficult at times, there was no evidence that she had physically abused her daughter.
The court heard that a bitter custody dispute ended Bourke's "emotionally turbulent" relationship with Tori's father, Edward Lamers, in 2000. Bourke, who had grown up "out of sync" with her family since her parents' divorce when she was 14, had lived with Mr Lamers for some time.
The court heard Bourke became obsessed with the idea of going fruit picking in Queensland in January, 2001. Her lawyer, Aaron Shwartz, said his client wanted to gain independence and self-esteem but after Mr Lamers expressed his disapproval, Bourke began living in "a state of utter confusion".
A month after police found Tori's body on August 28 last year, a dishevelled Bourke approached Queensland police and told them of her crime.
Mr Lamers, who has sought counselling since his daughter's death, wiped back tears as Bourke was sentenced.

text: So we are invited to some good firends wedding this summer, and I have 2 questions 1) About gifts: This is only the second US wedding we have been to, and the first one requested donations or had a nifty website where you could give them 'experiences' for their honeymoon (aka - 2 night on the hotes in Florence - I thought this was neat). This couple has a traditional wedding registry. I have noticed in other wedding threads that youu 'send' the gifts? In Denmark you always bring them to the wedding, and the bride and groom usually opens it up before the dinner. Is that not done here? Where do I send the gift? How do I mark them? Do I get the store to send them? 2) this is Jewish wedding, and the invitation says something like 'Badeken and Tish at 5pm, Chuppah at 6pm'. I understand the Chuppah is the ceremony itself and that Badeken is the 'veiling of the bride'. But what is Tish? And how are the 2 events connected/seperated? Are they seperated by gender? 'Side of family'? Anything else worth knowing? Our friends are fairly secular/libral? jews, but part of the bride's family is more conservative?/orthodox?. Her sister keeps kosher, and I believe modesty rules.

Texas Tech campus in El Paso is governor's signature away from becoming stand-alone university
EL PASO, Texas - The Texas Tech Health Sciences Center campus in El Paso is one step away from officially becoming a stand-alone university.
The bill was passed by the Texas House of Representatives Tuesday and just needs to be signed into law by Gov. Rick Perry.
"When the governor signs the bill we will have the ability to pick our own president and really sit at the table with the other universities," said Health Sciences Center dean, Dr. Jose Manuel de la Rosa. "(The bill's passage) is just a real vote of confidence... team El Paso really got this done."
S.B. 120 was authored by State Sen. José Rodríguez and sponsored by State Rep. Naomi Gonzalez. The bill was the top legislative priority for the El Paso delegation this legislative session.
"Today represents the culmination of two decades of hard work and close collaboration by our community and the Texas Tech University System," said Rodríguez. "Establishing an independent health sciences university is a key element of our community's educational, health care, and economic development strategies."
"This is a great victory for District 76 and the El Paso region. Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center at El Paso as a stand-alone university will help address the specific needs of the population along the El Paso border," said Gonzalez. "The stand-alone will improve access and quality of health care for the El Paso community and region."
the bill establishes TTUHSC at El Paso as an independent health sciences university with its own president and administration, schools with degree-granting authority, and greater local engagement in key hiring and funding decisions.
The move takes on greater significance given its role in regional priorities. It will continue to promote access to health care, attract more doctors and other health care professionals, research diseases that affect Latino and border populations, and spur economic development through its key role in the Medical Center of the Americas.
With well over 3/4 of the Texas State House voting in favor of the bill, Dr. de la Rosa the El Paso campus is now eligible for Health Education Assistance Funds, which are legislatively appropriated moneys meant for health education institutions.
According to Dr. de la Rosa, the El Paso campus is one of 9 centers that have access to those funds, "If it hadn't been for the Margin passage that we had today we would have had to operate without those funds. That is what gives us a seat at the table; more resources, more ability to set our own destiny."

Review: Three Sisters
The stars align for an excellent revival of Chekhov's classic.
Fri Feb 4 2011
Photograph: Joan Marcus
Time Out Ratings :<strong>Rating: </strong>4/5
Be sure to note how the title siblings of Three Sisters are positioned at the end of the play; it says a lot about the production. Most versions have Masha, Olga and Irina in tight formation abreast, gazing tragically into the middle distance of a barren, Moscow-less future. In Austin Pendleton's shockingly tender and lucid version for Classic Stage Company, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Juliet Rylance and Jessica Hecht huddle in a clump, facing away from the audience with heads bowed, a triple-backed mass of female grief. Lee Strasberg apparently created the same tableau for his 1964 Actors Studio version. Like Strasberg, Pendleton is a consummate actors' director; he'd rather obscure the performers' faces, keep their unspeakably painful emotions among themselves.
And it doesn't stint the impact on us one bit. Besides having three powerhouses in the main roles, Pendleton does outstanding work with Peter Sarsgaard as the miserably married army colonel Vershinin, as well as Marin Ireland, unexpectedly funny and scary as the bossy parvenue Natasha, who marries the sisters' jelly-willed brother, Andrey (Josh Hamilton), then proceeds to bully everyone in the household. There's not an off note in the ensemble, with finely etched portraits from Ebon Moss-Bachrach as the sweetly optimistic Baron Tuzenbach and Anson Mount's manic-depressive Solyony. It would be unfair to single out any of the lead women for special praise, but suffice it to say that each incarnates the various intense states that course through Chekhov's drama: languid cruelty (Gyllenhaal); wilting youthful hope (Rylance); and grimly desperate solitude (Hecht).
As critic Richard Gilman pointed out, the major theme in Chekhov's final four works was an almost Beckettian endurance in the face of futility and certain failure; that may be what gives the plays their humor and harrowing pathos. Intimate and finely textured, Pendleton's actors know how to make melancholy persistence thrilling to watch. And if you find this limited run sold out due to celebrity casting, at least the stars are perfectly aligned.
Classic Stage Company (see Off Broadway). By Anton Chekhov. Dir. Austin Pendleton. With ensemble cast. 3hrs. Two intermissions.

Raja Ampat has to be at the top of most Indonesian backpackers travel list. It is one of the ultimate destinations for diver (check here for my top three diving spots in Indonesia besides Raja Ampat) from around the world and one of the last hidden paradise. Most people think it is expensive. I'm going to prove to you that it's not. In this article I will show you how you can visit Raja Ampat for less than Rp 5,000,000. I will also answer some of the most frequently asked questions I have seen online about how to arrange a trip here. I hope this information will make it easier for people to visit here. 🙂
Where is Raja Ampat?
Find Indonesia on a map. Got it? well now try to find Papua. Yes the big island at the far eastern edge of the country. Raja Ampat is located off the north-west tip of the island in a place known as the bird's head peninsula. Believe me when I say it is much easier to get there when you know exactly where it is, at least on a map.
How to get there
There are two main ways to enter Raja Ampat, the first is from Sorong, West Papua to Waigeo. The other way is Misool, which you can reach from Ambon. I have only ever entered Raja Ampat from Sorong, so I will focus on what I know and have experienced and not what I have not.
The easiest way to get to Sorong is fly to there from Jakarta (Btw, if you want to know is it worth it to spend some time in Jakarta, you better check this article). The flight takes about seven hours and usually transits in Makassar (Ujung Pandang) for one hour. These are local airlines that I know serve the route Jakarta-Sorong: Lion Air, Sriwijaya Air, Merpati, Express Air. Some of the airlines transit in Surabaya or Ambon.
A return ticket costs between Rp. 700,000 until Rp. 5,000,000. If you want to get the cheapest tickets then you will need to find an airline with a promotion. I know that it is possible to get a ticket this cheaply, because my friend once bought a Jakarta – Sorong return ticket for only Rp. 685,000! Isn't that great? The other option you have is to fly from Jakarta to Makassar with Air Asia and then from there fly to Sorong with one of the local airlines that I mentioned before. Air Asia to Makassar on promotion period time can be as cheap as Rp. 154,000 one way. Cheap!
It is also possible to take a public Pelni ferry from Jakarta (Tanjung Priok port) to Sorong. A one way economy ticket costs Rp. 747,000 while a super VIP ticket costs Rp. 2,954,500 (two beds per cabin with a private washroom, TV and air conditioner). The journey takes 4-5 days.
From Sorong
From Sorong you can get a public boat to Waisai or Waigeo. The ticket costs Rp. 120,000 and the ferry takes 2-3 hours. An insider tip from me, if you arrive in Sorong around 12, you can go straight from the airport to the port and be sailing off without any waiting around.
How much does it cost the whole trip?
This obviously depends on what do you want to see and do! You can get a 10 day 9 night cruise around Raja Ampat for Rp. 45,000,000 per person. A 7 day 6 night tour that includes almost everything you will want to see in Raja Ampat (but exclude diving) costs Rp. 8,500,000 per person or if you are lucky, you can get as low as Rp. 4.100.00 for a 6 day 5 night trip. A 6 day 5 night live on board diving trip can cost as little as Rp. 17,000,000 per person. Alternatively you could stay for a week in a luxury resort run by a Westerner for $3,000 per person.
Basic Things
One of the things you should know is that the more people you travel with the cheaper the trip. If you're a solo backpacker or a couple then try and find other people who look like backpackers and see if you can travel together. You could even ask the staff at the Cultural and Tourism Ministry Office in Waisai where you need to buy a tourist permit (costs Rp. 200,000 for local and Rp. 500,000 for foreigner).
To hire a large speedboat for 12 hours will cost you around Rp. 9,000,000 with the capacity of 20 people per boat, while smaller boats can be rented for Ro. 2,000,000.
In Waisai, you can find hotels for Rp. 300,000 up to Rp. 500,000 per night. Homestays cost a lot less than this. It is possible to find cheap accommodation in the outlying islands of Raja Anpat as well. For example a homestay in Sawinggrai Village costs just Rp. 500,000 per night. Meals cost around Rp. 25,000 – Rp. 40,000.
What Can You Do in Raja Ampat?
Raja Ampat is not just about diving. As an archipelago comprising over 1,500 small islands there are endless cays, and shoals to explore, white sand to relax on, clear water to swim in, coral to marvel at and colorful fishes to amaze you. The most iconic thing to do in Raja Ampat besides the diving, is climbing the peak of Wayag islands. There are two different summits to climb and both offer a breathtaking view that can't be beaten.
Birdwatchers will find plenty to do in Raja Ampat with all of the birds of paradise to be seen. Sawinggrai Village is a great place to see them. You will have to watch out for all of the mosquitoes that will try and suck your blood. In front of the home-stay in this village you can also feed the fish (the local people provide the food for all the fishes). There are stairs that you can use to sit on and half submerge your legs underwater. The experience is priceless and even more enjoyable rather than a fish spa!
The other obvious thing to do is go diving or snorkelling. You can swim with Manta Rays, watch dolphins and see thousands of beautiful and colorful fishes. I was lucky and saw a blue dotted cuttlefish when I did a bit of snorkelling in the ocean in one of the islands. I was quite shocked because the last time I had that experience in Sulawesi I was diving and not just relaxing!
I hope I have shared enough of my experiences and knowledge to give you even more of a reason to visit Raja Ampat. If you do visit, please be sure to preserve this beautiful environment. Don't forget, I would love to hear your story! For more pictures of Raja Ampat you can visit this page.
Thanks for some of the pictures Mbak Yana, Tante Debby and Mbak Lisna! :-*

CORAL GABLES, Fla. -- Monday night was filled with football in Coral Gables as the Miami Hurricanes held their second scrimmage of #CanesCamp.
The Canes were out on the Greentree Practice Fields for a two-hour scrimmage, and players on both sides of the ball wasted little time making an impression on the coaches and NFL scouts in attendance.
The offense got on the scoreboard early as Matt Goudis hit a 38-yard field goal on the team's second series of the evening. Brad Kaaya added six more points when he connected with Stacy Coley on a three-yard touchdown pass. Kevin Olsen's nine-yard touchdown pass to Tyre Brady completed the first half scoring for the offense.
Kaaya got the Hurricane offense into the end zone for the final time Monday night when he found fullback Walter Tucker in the end zone for a score from nine yards out.
Several of Miami's running backs had impressive showing on Monday, led by freshman Joseph Yearby. The former Miami Central standout rushed for a team-high 71 yards, including a game-best 33-yard run. Duke Johnson, Gus Edwards and Trayone Gray also had several impressive runs.
Fifteen different Canes caught a pass on Monday, with freshman Braxton Berrios leading the way with five catches for 48 yards. Seven Hurricanes has multiple catches and senior tight end Raphael Akpejiori recorded his first catch in a scrimmage.
Linebacker Thurston Armbrister picked off a pass and returned it for a 40-yard touchdown, but the junior linebacker was not the only defensive standout on Monday night. Malik Mayweather also had an interception late in the first half, while senior linebacker Denzel Perryman delivered a loud and forceful hit on Edwards in the second half for a three-yard loss. Perryman finished the night with five tackles.
Al-Quadin Muhammad was active in the backfield, recording two of Miami's seven sacks on Monday. Anthony Chickillo, Jermaine Grace, Ufomba Kamalu, Tyriq McCord and Darrion Owens also sacked the quarterback in Monday's scrimmage.
The Hurricane defense finished the scrimmage with 10 tackles for loss, five pass breakups and two passes deflected at the line of scrimmage.
Senior quarterback Jake Heaps was held out of Monday's scrimmage to rest his arm.
The Canes will return to Greentree Wednesday for a two-a-day session beginning at 8:20 a.m. For the latest information on Miami Hurricanes Football, follow @MiamiHurricanes on Twitter and the official blog for Hurricanes Football, www.theufootball.com.

"It was for officers on the ground to judge in any given situation what force should be used and how an intended operation should be run," he said at the start of what could be three weeks on the stand.
The incident was one of the worst in three decades of violent struggle by the Catholic Irish Republican Army against British rule of Northern Ireland.
"The tragic death in Londonderry outraged the Catholic community, increased support for the IRA and destroyed the prospect of a political initiative," Sir Edward said in a statement.
"Therefore it was absurd to suggest that her majesty's government intended or was prepared to risk the events which occurred," he said.
Sir Edward said he could not claim to remember in detail all those matters that occurred so long ago.
The shootings by the First Battalion of the Parachute Regiment, who had been ordered into the Derry area, the Bogside, to arrest rioters, prompted the IRA to declare its intention to kill as many British soldiers as possible.
It also boosted support for the organisation in the United States that provided fertile ground for fund-raising right up to the 1998 Good Friday peace agreement that ended the bloodshed and began a shaky peace process.
Sir Edward, prime minister from 1970 to 1974, ordered an inquiry at the time into the killings that largely exonerated the soldiers involved as having acted in self-defence, and prompted charges of a cover-up from family and friends of the victims.
Sir Edward's performance drew mixed reactions from relatives of the victims.
Liam Wray, whose brother Jim, 22, was shot dead on Bloody Sunday, said: "We can see already that there are matters that Edward Heath seems to have no great knowledge of, that we believe he should have had better knowledge.
"But I'm not totally disappointed.
"It's apparent from watching him today that he's very able, capable and has a very good memory."
John Nash, the brother of William Nash, 19, who was killed, and son of Alexander Nash who was wounded, possibly from a shot fired by an IRA man, described Sir Edward's evidence as "unimpressive and tedious".
He said: "He's going through the motions because he is legally obliged to give evidence to this inquiry."
Sir Edward is expected to be quizzed on the impartiality of the inquiry and on claims that government policy at the time was that anyone obstructing the army was a legitimate target.
Last month, Lord Carrington, Britain's defence secretary at the time of the killings, rejected as "ludicrous" claims that the army had a government-sanctioned shoot-to-kill policy.
The latest inquiry, which opened five years ago and is expected to run into next year, moved to London last year out of safety concerns for the 350 witnesses who are due to give evidence.

I'm 24, 5'8" and 180lbs. I'd like to lose 20lbs before getting a breast reduction to a C, but I've always been big busted. At least a D, even when I weighed 145 2 yrs ago. I just had twins 6 mo's ago so sagging is an issue too. Just wandering if a breast reduction will be ideal (thinking in terms of ins. coverage). I have very good insurance, but I know how difficult it can be to get these types of surgeries covered. I have had back pain since before I can remember as well as posture problems.
Is a 36DD Too Small to Get a Breast Reduction?
Doctor Answers 13
Breast Reduction Candidate?
Thank you for the question and pictures.
Based on your description you may be a good candidate for breast reduction surgery; it is one of the most patient pleasing operations we perform.
The best way to obtain insurance coverage for breast reduction surgery involves some "hoops" to jump through. The more documentation you have (for example, from your primary care doctor, physical therapist, chiropractor etc.) the better when it comes to obtaining insurance "authorization" for the procedure.
This documentation and letter/pictures from your plastic surgeon will help you obtain authorization. Make sure you're working with a well-trained/experienced board-certified plastic surgeon.
Best wishes.

Breast Reduction: insurance candidate
Thank you for your question and photos. From your pictures, it appears that you do would definitely benefit from a #breastreduction. The symptoms that you are experiencing are quite typical for a woman with large breasts. In addition to relieving the physical discomfort, we find that breast reduction also improves self image, allows for participation in various physical activities and it's easier to find clothes that fit.
In general when the excessive breast size causes functional problems, #insurance will generally pay for #breastreduction if more than 400 – 500 grams are removed from each breast dependent on your individual insurance company requirements. These problems may include neck #pain, back or shoulder pain, hygiene difficulty, and breast pain.
Many women that elect to have #mammoplasty, also will require a lift. The lift is part of the procedure at no extra cost. A #lift is necessary to ensure proper placement of the #nipples and can allow for areola reduction if needed. The best advise I can give you is to schedule a consultation with a Board Certified plastic surgeon who will be qualified to evaluate your current breast shape and volume. They will also be able to explain all of your options. Good luck!

Breast Reduction Candidate seeking insurance coverage
There are a series of questions that must be answered prior to beginning the insurance process.
1. Have you experienced persistent symptoms in at least two of the anatomical body areas below, affecting daily activities for at least one year:
Pain in upper back
Pain in neck
Pain in shoulders
Painful kyphosis documented by X-rays
Pain / discomfort / ulceration from bra straps cutting into shoulders;
2. Have you had a mammogram within the last year?
3. Have you tried any of the following therapies for 3 months or more?
Supportive devices (e.g., proper bra support, wide bra straps)
Analgesic / non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) interventions
Physical therapy / exercises / posturing maneuvers
4. Have you seen a physician for the symptoms you have experienced? When?
Your physician must also be able to document symptoms such as back and neck pain, headaches, also needs to ensure that the estimated reduction is consistent with the insurance company's requirements for your BMI.
Web reference: http://www.drkrisreddy.com/West_Palm_Beach_Breast_Reduction.html
Insurance coverage for breast reduction
Every insurance plan has their own unique criteria on whether they will cover a breast reduction. More and more, we are seeing plans where a breast reduction is not a covered benefit. If it is a covered benefit, some insurance plans set a minimum required amount of tissue to be remove in order to met their threshold for coverage. Some set the amount in relation to your BMI (height and weight). Others require extensive medical records documenting neck pain, back pain, and history of rashes. The other alternative is to opt for a breast reduction as a self-pay option. Start by visiting with a board certified plastic surgeon to learn more about your options.
Best wishes,

Size is relative to your frame.
Prior Authorization Has To Be Complete Before Knowing if Insurance Will Cover Breast Reduction
Based on your pictures and symptoms, I believe you're probably a good candidate for breast reduction surgery. Unfortunately, it's almost impossible to know whether or not an insurance carrier will cover the expense of this procedure until prior authorization is complete. Each insurance company has its own unique requirements and some companies consider breast reduction a contract exclusion. This means they won't cover it, even if you're a perfect candidate for surgery.
I believe you would benefit from this procedure in multiple ways. Breast reduction alleviates symptoms associated with breast enlargement, such as back pain, neck pain, breast pain, shoulder pain, and chronic rashes. It improves breast aesthetics by reducing the size of the breast, reducing the areola size, and lifting the breast into normal position. It results in improved self-esteem, self-confidence, and self-image. All of these benefits make breast reduction an extremely popular procedure with high satisfaction rates.
Insurance and breast reductions
Without an exam it is hard to assess what volume of tissue you have and how much can be removed that can also leave you with a nice shape and volume. Each insurance company has different criteria for approval as well. Good luck.

Initial cup size is only one determinant for breast reduction
Many factors are considered when looking at insurance coverage for breast reduction surgery, and a 36DD cup is certainly not too small to consider the potential benefits of reduction. It is courageous of you to submit your picture, and it appears that the DD may not be a 'true' cup size. Often women with a very large breast will wear a bra that they can find be it convenience or fashion and will under-size the true cup. Who really enjoys a custom wide strap G cup bra at your age. When judging breast reduction your height and weight, breast size, distance of the nipple to the neck, and estimated weight of reduction all must be factored in. Based on your photo, if you are strongly motivated to complete a breast reduction, an exam and insurance predetermination is worth a shot.
Best of luck,

You may have never heard of healthcare navigators, and you may never meet one. But these foot soldiers of the Affordable Care Act have been on the job for months, working the phones and holding sign-up events to help uninsured Texans.
Now the community groups that employ these navigators are bracing for new state regulations.
The proposed rules would require that navigators undergo 40 more hours of training, on top of the 20-30 hours they've already done.
The navigators would also have to register, be fingerprinted and undergo background checks.
Lucy Nashed is a spokeswoman for Gov. Rick Perry, who urged the insurance department to craft the regulations last fall.
"People who are working with these navigators in Texas should have the reasonable expectation that they are well trained, that they are not criminals, and that they are not going to use that private information for anything illegal."
The city of Houston employs dozens of navigators, some of them paid for with grants from the Affordable Care Act.
City health official Benjamin Hernandez says it looks like the new rules could go into effect in March, and the timing couldn't be worse.
That's because March 31 is the last day people can sign up for coverage for 2014 and avoid a tax penalty.
"March is important because it's the last month of the enrollment period and what we want are our navigators out there talking to people, we don't want them sitting in a classroom for 40 hours."
Hernandez and others wonder if navigators are being unfairly targeted.
By contrast, Texas requires Medicare counselors to undergo only 25 hours of training.
Medicaid counselors do only four hours of training in Texas.
And both those trainings are free, while the proposed navigator training and registration will cost hundreds of dollars per person.
"That really doesn't make sense why you're asking one group to do a whole lot more training."
Stacey Pogue is with an Austin think tank, the left-leaning Center for Public Policy Priorities.
She says the proposed rules even try to control what navigators can and can't say about the various health plans.
She says that could make it very hard for them to do their jobs, which is simply to help people understand how insurance works and help them enroll.
"What we try to do is empower those navigators, we try to empower community groups to go out and help sign people up for benefits. And this seems like an unprecedented move — from what we can tell — in the other direction, where the state is actually for the first time trying to create big barriers that prevent community groups from providing application assistance to poor and underserved Texans."
The Texas Department of Insurance has closed the public comment period and is expected to issue the final rules in a few weeks.
Nationwide, at least sixteen states have passed or are considering laws to regulate navigators.
Two of them, Missouri and Tennessee, have been sued over the laws.

"This is a staple at our house for holiday dinners. My cousin (who always comes for Thanksgiving dinner) would be incredibly upset if this pudding were not on the table (in fact, we double the recipe just for him). It is easy and delicious."
Reviewed Mar. 6, 2011
"I love corn pudding as a side dish. However, this one is a little too sweet for my taste. I will try cooking it again. It was very runny with a syrupy consistency on the bottom. Maybe with less sugar and more bread it will be better to me. It is a very easy recipe to prepare."

After noticing that her 3-year-old brother has difficulty learning, eighth-grader Janna Hoza conducted an experiment to see if exercise would help.
The experiment won the Hayden Middle School student a first-place award at the Alpine Bank Western Colorado Science Fair at Mesa State College in Grand Junction two weekends ago, which in turn qualified her for the state competition, the 49th annual Colorado Science and Engineering Fair, to be held April 8 through 10 at Colorado State University.
Conducting an experiment in which she could use the results from in her own life weighed positively with the judges, Hoza said. She tested five classmates with an online test of memorizing and recalling facial features. For two weeks, the students took the test without exercise. For two weeks, they took the test after running and participating in other physical exercise -- and had improved results. Hoza proved her hypothesis by determining that exercise helped the students' learning.
"Hopefully, I can use this to help my brother," she said.
The experiment won two special awards: the American Psychology Award and the Behavioral Science Award.
Several other Hayden eighth- and ninth-graders participated and placed at the regional competition in Grand Junction.
Ninth-grader Stephanie Pope won a Kodak Award for her photography of color-changing flames from adding chemicals to a fire in a coffee can. Her presentation broke down the chemical reactions of the color changes to the molecular level.
Ninth-graders Brandon Ford and Dave Gullet tied for third in the engineering category for testing the strength of balsa wood structures that they built.
Ford used different bridge engineering styles and added weights to determine which was strongest. Gullet built four towers, two in the shape of the World Trade Center and two in a shape he hypothesized was stronger.
"I was trying to find a better World Trade Center design," Gullet said, describing his staggered-level design. "I thought if one level collapsed, it would just be that one, not all of them."
Gullet's design failed to meet his theory, but learning that is part of the idea behind the science fair, science teacher and middle school science fair sponsor Greg Richards said.
Other notable ninth-grade winners were: Jennifer Epp, second place in botany, and Brian Richards, second place in earth sciences.
Eighth-grade winners were: Ann Yager, third place in earth science, Jacquelyn Denker, third place in physical science, and Jordan Williams, second place in engineering.
Richards won the outstanding teacher and sponsor award and $500, which he said almost made him fall out of his chair.

Guest blog by Andrew from Match Next
For a few weeks I've been describing our approach to getting kids hooked on reading. Jamie G. commented on my Accelerated Reader post:
Couple great points in there. Thanks, Jamie! (btw, I hear Johan is looking for a new team these days)
If you missed the Accelerated Reader post, AR is a website with a short quizzes about a bunch of books. When a kid finishes a book, we have them go and take a quiz.
Jamie, to your last question, the quizzes are not part of the students' grades. We only use the quizzes:
a) to make sure the student actually read the book and understood it on a very basic level, and
b) for the team competition.
I'm not sure how I feel about including something like AR quiz performance in a student's grade. On one hand, once 'pleasure reading' turns into a chore, it can lose its spark. On the other hand, people often need a little push to actually go and do the things they themselves enjoy. Like exercise.
Here's a picture of the big velcro board we use to track students' reading.
On the left side, we track how many points each individual student has earned just for that week. On the right side, the figures represent the team totals for that week. All of these markers reset to 0 every Monday.
A bit more on our teams. All 50 of our students are divided into 8 teams. Each team has a collection of students that, when you add up their historical weekly reading averages, read about the same amount. So in theory, each team has a similar shot at reading the most each week.
To your first question - is fiction better than non-fiction, even when it comes to pleasure reading?
Let me add to that - are books better than articles, essays, shorter works?
Ie, let's say you have four options (assume they're at the same reading difficulty).
1) a fiction novel.
2) a nonfiction book.
3) a short story.
4) a news article.
You'd want every student to get exposure to each of these options. Take that as a given.
Your question seems to be - why do we always focus on #1 - the novel - when it comes to pleasure reading and kids?
Reflecting on our own program, I think there are a few reasons:
1) Preference. Our school's 'librarian-types' (ie, the people who seem to know what to put in most kids' hands that will get them reading like a maniac) simply know more about kids' fiction books. Maybe its their personal preference.
2) Volume. There are way more young adult novels out there than nonfiction books.
3) Longevity. It's way less work to get a kid hooked on a series of novels than on shorter stuff. Let's say you get someone hooked on The Hunger Games. That's like a thousand pages of reading. Done. But if you get a kid hooked on one newspaper article, you've gotta keep finding more articles to keep them hooked. Even if it's the Mets' nightly recap, that's only like 5 minutes of reading a day.
4) It seems to work. In our handful of attempts to get kids reading nonfiction, we've been less successful than with novels.
But maybe we haven't tried hard enough here. We'd love to hear any suggestions for ways folks have gotten their students hooked on nonfiction.
Next year we're thinking of incorporating a set chunk of time into our day for students to read news articles. There's a neat website called Newsela which publishes multiple versions of news articles, each version at a different level of complexity. We'll try this out over the next month or two and let you know how it goes.

Fully-insured shipping: $15.95
While overall dimensions are confined to the absolute minimum, the Tamron SP AF 70-200mm F/2.8 Di LD Macro Lens is packed with features that allow stress-free photography: a versatile minimum focus distance (MFD) of just 95cm over the entire zoom range; best-in-class maximum macro magnification ratio of 1:3.1 at f=200mm; an advantageous internal focusing (IF) system and, of course, the fast maximum aperture of f/2.8. The new tele-zoom lens covers a desirable focal length range of 70mm medium telephoto to 200mm telephoto when mounted on full-size format SLR cameras and a focal length range from 109mm to 310mm ultra telephoto when mounted on a DSLR camera with an APS-C sized imaging sensor.
Super Performance series
This Tamron SP AF 70-200mm F/2.8 Di LD Macro Lens is designed and manufactured to the exacting specifications demanded by professionals and others who require the highest possible image quality. The foremost priority is achieving superior performance parameters - high design standards take priority over cost constraints. As a result, Tamron SP lenses feature innovative designs that have established an enviable reputation for excellence amongst demanding photographers.
Low Dispersion
Chromatic aberration occurs when a lens element refracts different wavelengths of a ray of light - its rainbow colours - at very slightly different angles. This results in the 'colour fringing' that reduces the sharpness of an image. LD elements are made from special glass materials with extremely low dispersion indices (i.e. the refraction of a ray of light into rainbow colours is extremely narrow). Thus they effectively compensate for chromatic aberration at the centre of the field (on axis), a particular problem at long focal lengths (the telephoto end of the zoom range), and for lateral chromatic aberration (toward the edges of the field) that often occurs at short (wideangle) focal lengths.
Internal Focusing
In many lenses, the front elements move back and forth to alter the focus distance. With an internal focusing (IF) mechanism, the focusing elements are inside the optical design. Because the front lens elements remain static, the lens' actual length does not change. This provides several benefits both to the image and during photography:
- The barrel is not subject to stray light entering from external helicoids that can adversely affect image quality
- A non-rotating front filter thread makes it easier to use filters such as graduated filters and polarisers
- A flower-shaped lens hood will remain in the correct position to most effectively shield the lens from stray light
- Better balance and more predictable handling because the lens length does not change during focusing
- Generally, a much closer minimum focusing distance throughout the zoom range
- Improved optical performance by minimising loss of illumination at the corners of the image field (vignetting)
- Suppression of other aberrations that become more troublesome at different focusing positions.
Integrated focus cam optimises internal focusing
Tamron's Integrated Focus Cam is a precision mechanical component that optimises the co-ordinated movement of the Internal Focusing (IF) system with the Multiple Cam Zoom Mechanism. This ingenious mechanism ensures accurate and seamless positioning of all the internal elements within the lens and coordinates them with the external zoom and focus controls.

Now I have to finish 2 baby boy quilts...do you miss the days that no one found out if it was a boy or a girl so you could make a "which ever" baby quilt?????
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
Now I have to finish 2 baby boy quilts...do you miss the days that no one found out if it was a boy or a girl so you could make a "which ever" baby quilt?????
I know exactly what you mean!!!
I love the pink quilt though! It is beautiful! Nicely done!
I am so happy, my sister is pregnant right now but they are NOT going to find out what sex the baby is!! I am so excited! I just finished putting the top together for my first baby quilt! When I am finished quilting and binding it I will post the picture! It was so much fun because I got to pick fun and funky colours and patterns that would work for either sex!
Your quilt is beautiful! I like to know the gender, or else I'd probably never use pink.
Very cute!!! Yes, I miss the days when all you knew, it would either be boy or girl.LOL
Very pretty!!! Baby will be tickled pink :D :D :D
Love the fabric and Pattern ! What pattern is it ? And yes I do miss the days of mystery... Everyone has to know and the sooner the better these days :?
Beautiful bright pink! I found out with both mine - but then I squeeze and poke Christmas presents as well, BEFORE the day - to try and guess what's in them! LOL
K x
I think the pattern is called Shadow Box???? It can be found on the Timeless Treasures website: ttfabrics.com it is by Cheryl Malkowski. She did it in batiks but I thought it would look good in the pinks.
That's very cute. I love the pinks! Sometimes I like to know what the baby is going to be so that I can make it for either a little girl or boy or you just end up doing greens and yellows!

In 1974, an Indian Bollywood Hindi-language film was released with the title Roti Kapda Aur Makaan (English translation: Food, Clothing, And Shelter), referring to the bare minimums of life. If it were to be released today, the director of the movie would need to add the word Internet to the title because access to the Internet has become a necessity for many people over the past decade.
In a recently published Forrester ForecastView report titled "Forrester Research World Online Population Forecast, 2012 To 2017 (Global)," Forrester found that 2.4 billion people across the world use the Internet on a regular basis — i.e., at least once a month — from home, school, work, or any other location via a PC or a non-PC (mobile) Internet access device. This is expected to grow to 3.5 billion by 2017, representing nearly half of the 2017 overall world population of 7.4 billion. Our forecast provides the details of the Internet population in 56 countries across five regions.
Posted by Reineke Reitsma on the Data Insights Professionals Blog on November 12, 2010
In the past five years, the global Internet population has grown from about 1 billion to 1.6 billion, and this growth isn't about to stop any time soon. However, the future growth isn't equally spread across regions. Forrester's ForecastView model shows that the Internet population will increase in every country in the world over the next five years, but emerging markets will grow at a faster pace. In 2014, one-third of Internet users will come from Brazil, Russia, India, or China (the so-called BRIC countries).
The sheer number of online buyers and the increased online spending per capita will position several emerging markets to challenge North America and Europe from an eCommerce perspective. Companies that want to capture this growing number of online users — and their growing funds spent online — will need to look beyond the markets of North America and Europe and approach their online strategies much more globally.
This graphic comes from the Forrester report 'Global Online Population Forecast, 2009 To 2014' which is available to Forrester clients. A full model with detailed figures of Internet subscribers and penetration rates for more than 60 countries is available to our ForecastView subscribers.

"I can see the bubble on the horizon; the fat lady entering the building," Mr Roth wrote in his annual letter to investors, filed with the US Securities and Exchange Commission.
"My belly tells me that prices are now higher than future prospects and, therefore, we will buy carefully and likely sell more than we buy."
US commercial properties have recovered value lost during the recession and are now back to 2007 highs on average, real estate research firm Green Street Advisors said in a report earlier this month.
Economic growth, low interest rates and minimal construction have fuelled appreciation, according to the firm.
"It also feels to me like interest rates will stay lower for longer than the pundits expect and that we are near the tipping point where market participants will start to believe and act as if it's their God-given right to zero-bound interest rates," Mr Roth said in his letter to investors.
Vornado, based in New York, has sold $US2.75 billion of assets since the chairman's letter last April, for a net gain of $US718 million from a total number of 26 transactions.
Sales included the Kings Plaza shopping centre in New York's Brooklyn borough, for $751 million; the Green Acres Mall in Valley Stream, New York, for $500 million; and Vornado's stake in
Mr Roth, 71, who will take over as Vornado chief executive officer this month, joined the group in 1980 and has been chairman since 1989.
He was CEO from May 1989 through May 2009 and will step back into the CEO's role after the company reported a $US224.9 million loss on its stake in JC Penney.

The Russian connection: See all our coverage | Read about our investigation
USA Today's media columnist, Rem Rieder, is tired of the rest of us tacking gate onto the end of every conceivable scandal. Here's his argument:
It's not cute. It's not cool. It's not clever.
I will give it knee-jerk. And lazy. And oh, so predictable.
But it's not supposed to be cute, cool, or clever. It's supposed to be knee-jerk, lazy, and predictable—or, as the rest of us refer to this quality, instantly recognizable. Tomato, tomahto, my friend.
Perhaps recognizing the tenuousness of his case, Rieder adds this:
But there is a more serious reason to show gate to the gate. By awarding the suffix to everything from serious government misconduct to the exposure of Janet Jackson's breast during the halftime show of Super Bowl XXXVIII (surely you remember Nipplegate), you create a false equivalency that ends up trivializing everything.
That certainly was the take of Sam Dash, who served as chief counsel to the Senate Watergate Committee all those years ago. "When people hear this proliferation of 'gates,' they feel the press is telling them this is the same as Watergate, and whatever Watergate has stood for has lost its meaning," Dash told Suzan Revah of American Journalism Review.
I dunno. We've been slapping gate on the end of things for 40 years now, and Richard Nixon's notoriety remains safe. So I don't really think this argument holds water. Besides, gate actually has a very specific meaning. Watergate was the first big example of scandal as public spectacle during the media age, and because of this gate is generally reserved for spectacles large and small. But it's not used for things that go beyond the realm of political spectacle. There's no such thing as Benghazi-gate because that was a tragedy in which people died. Likewise, there's no Surveillance-gate or Waco-gate. Its use is actually surprisingly specialized.
Still, what if we did all get tired of gate? What would we replace it with? It would be even more boring to just call all these things scandals, and that wouldn't clearly identify them anyway. But maybe we could poach some other scandal-related suffix? What options do we have? Teapot Dome. Crédit Mobilier. The Plame Affair. Iran-Contra. The XYZ Affair. The Keating Five. Chappaquiddick. The vicuna coat. Let's try these out to see how they sound as a replacement for Bridgegate:
It's hopeless. Teapot Dome is the only one that works—though I'll confess that Bridgexyz has certain possibilities depending on how you pronounce it. So that's that. We either keep using gate or else switch to dome. I think we're better off sticking with gate.

Eric Bibb
In 1970, Bibb left New York City for Paris, where he met with guitarist Mickey Baker. There, he began to focus on blues guitar, and after moving to Stockholm, he became enamored with prewar blues. He continued to write his own songs and perform during this time, and returned to New York in 1980 to pursue a career as a folk and blues singer. He moved back to Sweden five years later and continued performing, but also taught music in school. His debut, Spirit and the Blues, showcased the sounds of bouzouki, mandolin, accordion, and a gospel group, inspired by other recordings that married bluesmen like Lead Belly with gospel groups like the Golden Gate Quartet. He performed at the London Blues Festival in 1996, where he shared a set with Corey Harris and Keb' Mo', and he quickly followed up with 1997's Good Stuff.
His third album, Me to You, featured performances and collaborations with some of his musical heroes, including Pops & Mavis Staples and Taj Mahal. He followed up the success of the album with tours of the U.K., U.S., Canada, France, Germany, and Sweden. He recorded and released Home to Me in 1999, Roadworks in 2000, Painting Signs and Just Like Love in 2001, and A Family Affair in 2001, which featured duets and solo tunes by Bibb and his father. Bibb joined Robert Cray on two U.S. tours in 2001 and 2002, and opened for Ray Charles in the summer of 2002. Bibb was nominated for a Grammy for "Shakin' a Tailfeather," and he has been nominated for many W.C. Handy Awards in a variety of categories.
Ever the prolific songwriter, forever brimming with new musical ideas and a freshness of appreciation with no dimming in his enthusiasm for performing, Bibb has kept up a hectic schedule of performing and recording since Home to Me and A Family Affair were released in 2001. He recorded Natural Light for Earthbeat in 2003, Roadworks and Sisters and Brothers in 2004, and Friends in 2004. His late-2000s recordings include A Ship Called Love, Diamond Days, and Twelve Gates to the City in 2006, and a collaboration with his father, Praising Peace: A Tribute to Paul Robeson. He released a live album in 2007, An Evening with Eric Bibb, for the Telarc Blues label. Released in 2008, Get on Board on Telarc Blues featured performances by Bonnie Raitt and Ruthie Foster. Bibb described the sounds and songs on the album best when he said it was "a further exploration into the place where blues meets gospel and soul."
Troubadour Live, recorded at a December 9, 2010 concert in Stockholm and featuring guest guitarist Staffan Astner, was released in 2011. Jericho Road, which found Bibb working once again with longtime collaborator, producer, engineer, and multi-instrumentalist Glen Scott, appeared in 2013. Another impressive Scott-produced album, Blues People, arrived the following year. In 2015, Bibb paired with harmonica player Jean-Jacques Milteau for the Lead Belly tribute album Lead Belly's Gold. His next project was a collaboration with Finnish musicians Petri Hakala and Olli Haavisto and legendary British bassist Danny Thompson. Billed as Eric Bibb and the North Country Far with Danny Thompson, they released The Happiest Man in the World in 2016. ~ Richard Skelly

Drain flies under house
I had a waste pipe (thank goodness not a sewage pipe, but only from my kitchen sink and dishwasher) break under my house. Floor boards were ripped up in one room and a swarm of drain flies emerged. I was told that by fixing the pipe, and leaving the floor boards open for a few days, the ground/sand would dry and make the environment no longer good breading ground for the flies. I have poured bleach down each of the openings- a bit daily. I have fans positioned down into the holes and a 65 pint dehumidifier producing two filled tanks of water daily. But I still have flies!!! Usually I see about 10 live ones on the walls and about 50-100 dead ones on the floors daily. It is better than a swarm, but ... ug!!
I have purchased InVade, but instructions seem to be limited to the pipes alone. Can I use it under the house??? If so, how??
Besides ripping up the rest of the house, what should I be doing??
Thanks in advance for any advice.
