Walker relishes return from injury
Walker relishes return from injury
CHICAGO -- Rejoining his team would seem like excitement enough for Todd Walker, but coming back in the midst of the Cubs' three-game winning streak made the smile on his face just a little bit bigger on Wednesday afternoon. Walker returned to Wrigley Field on Wednesday after making more than a week's worth of rehab starts in Triple-A Iowa, but that didn't mean he wasn't following his team's progress during his time away. Driving back from Des Moines on Tuesday night, Walker flipped through radio stations to find the Cubs' game. Listening to the team pull off a come-from-behind win over the Astros put Walker in a role that he wasn't quite used to and is glad to be leaving behind.
"I kind of became a fan a little bit and became very excited about the way it ended up last night," Walker said before Wednesday's game. "I imagine everyone else is as well. If we win tonight, we get back to .500, and that's a step in the right direction." While that win eluded the Cubs as they fell, 5-1, to the Astros, having Walker back could be an even bigger leap toward keeping the Cubs on the right track. The team has been dealt many injuries since Walker was placed on the disabled list after spraining the medial collateral ligament in his left knee during a collision with Milwaukee's Carlos Lee on April 10. Getting back their starting second baseman, who was hitting .381 in six games before his injury, could be a powerful addition to the team's struggling offense. Manager Dusty Baker wasted no time reinserting Walker into the lineup, giving him the nod at second base on Wednesday. "He's not going to get the strokes while sitting," Baker said of his decision to start Walker. "I will probably play him against most right-handers and [Jerry] Hairston against most left-handers, and then I'll see how [Walker's] moving, what kind of mobility he has and if I have to double switch and mix-and-match during the course of the game." Despite referring to Wednesday's game as "another Opening Day," Walker didn't have exactly the comeback he would have liked. The second baseman went 0-for-3 in his three plate appearances, but he also suffered through a slow start when he first went on his rehabilitation assignment. In nine appearances for Triple-A Iowa, Walker went 8-for-37 with three RBIs and thee runs scored. "I was 0-for-20 to start, and then I went back to Des Moines and got three hits the first night," Walker said. "In four games, I had eight hits so the last four days have been good. That's when I started counting anyway, is when I got my first hit. The 0-for-20 doesn't count." Although Walker is able to play and contribute, he will not be competing at 100 percent until much later in the season. Walker said it will take around 16 weeks for his knee to be close to where it was before the injury, but that doesn't mean that he feels unprepared to play. "I wouldn't be here if I wasn't ready to go," Walker said. "I feel fine with all the movements. "I've been playing in Triple-A and believe it or not, they throw the ball pretty well down there, so I feel pretty ready." Walker's hitting stats from his first game back may not look like he's quite back to big-league form just yet, but his defense seemed to be without much rust. With a strong night out in the field and some things he took from his at-bats, Walker didn't feel too badly about his first outing since the injury. "As long as I'm putting the ball in play, I'm going to be alright," Walker said. "And defensively, I felt good, which to me was my most important thing, going to my left and right. Now I just have to work from there." Although the smile Walker had to begin the day had faded a bit following the team's loss, Walker's sense of humor did not. When asked if his day was dampened a bit by the game's outcome, Walker joked that it may affect his status with the team. "I might just get sent back," Walker said with a laugh. "I'm a bad luck charm."

LaDainian Tomlinson: Is the end nigh?
It's fitting that, a year after by far his worst of nine NFL seasons -- one in which I strongly advised fantasy owners to avoid him -- LaDainian Tomlinson is the subject of a "32 Questions" in which I'm picked to analyze his prospects in his follow-up year.
No, this is isn't an attempt to tout a correct 2009 prediction. After all, anyone who cared to study the extensive history of 30-year-old running backs could have foreseen Tomlinson's career regression. To quickly illustrate, the former San Diego Chargers star, who set the fantasy world ablaze with a 410-point fantasy season in 2006, lost approximately 30 percent of his fantasy production in each successive year. To quote the specifics, it declined by 28.5 percent in 2007, 27.6 percent in 2008 and 31.1 percent in 2009. That 31.1 percent, actually, represents almost twice the level of regression of a typical back during his age-30 campaign.
The purpose, therefore, of dredging up memories of Tomlinson's miserable 2009 is to show how much the proverbial pendulum, in terms of his perceived value, has swung in the opposite direction in a mere calendar year. Last season, he was a consensus first-round selection. This year, he's barely a ninth-round selection, with an average draft position of 94.9 that ranks him the 90th player picked overall.
It's that perception that Tomlinson was a fantastic selection in 2009, but a dreadful one in 2010, that makes him a potential bargain in the late rounds this year. There might yet be enough left in this tank for one last fantasy hurrah.
A big reason is the New York Jets and Rex Ryan's run-based offense. The 2009 Jets led the league with 607 rushing attempts, which, incidentally, represented the most of any team since the Pittsburgh Steelers amassed 618 in 2004. They also sport arguably the league's most talented offensive line, which sent three members to the Pro Bowl last season: left guard Alan Faneca, left tackle D'Brickashaw Ferguson and center Nick Mangold. Though Faneca was released during the offseason, the presence of Ferguson and Mangold along with sturdy veterans Brandon Moore and Damien Woody should keep this team ranked at or near the top, especially now that the quartet has had a year to work together in Ryan's zone-blocking scheme.
Combine those factors and you're talking about Tomlinson having signed into perhaps the best possible situation for a running back, the primary strike against him being that the Jets already have a younger, quicker option at the position in Shonn Greene. In Tomlinson's defense, however, Thomas Jones and Leon Washington, who were both let go following last season, totaled 403 rushing attempts between them (or 66.4 percent of the Jets' total). Greene had 108, and if you know anything about the wear and tear at the running back position, there's no possible way that Greene could absorb 403 more carries. In fact, he might not absorb half of those.
While the Jets might talk up the notion of a "dual starter" approach, it's more likely they'll utilize Greene as their primary back, sprinkling in Tomlinson situationally.
• On passing downs: Tomlinson has been a skilled pass-catcher throughout his career, averaging 59 receptions per year, albeit only a disappointing 20 in 2009. His reputation certainly exceeds that of Greene, who didn't catch a pass last year.
To this point, Tomlinson's value in PPR leagues should be higher than his ADP, if only because if the Jets are serious about giving him 12-15 touches a game; a third of those might be catches, and that could be enough to warrant flex-play appeal.
• At the goal line: If there was any positive about Tomlinson's 2009, surely it was his usage near the goal line. He carried the football 36 times within 10 yards of his opponents' end zone, second in the NFL, and scored on 10 occasions, also second-most. (Only Adrian Peterson had more of either: 40 and 15, respectively.) For his career, Tomlinson has 306 carries in those situations and 109 touchdowns, and not once in any season did he score fewer than eight times.
To this point, if you play in a touchdown-heavy scoring system, Tomlinson might be a no-brainer starter out of your flex spot, and if you play in a touchdown-only league, he might be the smarter pick of the two Jets backs.
To this point, Tomlinson warrants status as a fantasy handcuff, especially being that his role is so closely tied to Greene's value. For all the concerns about Greene's workload hinted above, I'm as much a fan of his as anyone. But at the same time, if I'm picking him in the second round -- which his 22.1 ADP (21st overall) suggests you might need to -- I'm targeting Tomlinson by the 90th pick.
Understand, of course, that in no way should any of this be confused with my saying Tomlinson is due for a return to his prime-year numbers, or even close to it. In fact, his chances at finishing as one of the top 25 players in fantasy in 2010 are slim to none. After all, he's a year older, with 223 additional carries on his legs; he's 31 years old and has 2,880 career rushing attempts, 3,410 career touches. And if you know anything about the ravages of age on a running back, especially one with that much mileage, you know that the chances of another significant drop in production are significant, a double-digit-percentage number.
Still, sometimes players indeed hit a proverbial wall once they reach the later years of their careers. Others, placed in the ideal situation for their waning skill sets, have what it takes to eke out one more relatively productive year.
Yes, the end is near, but I say it waits one more year.

Well what can I say? I honestly have NO idea why I didn't buy this brush before. It's ridiculous the amount of positive reviews I have seen on the Real Techniques brushes, they're so hyped up and I can honestly see why. Being a beauty blogger and after following Pixiwoo for years I thought it was about time I set aside a bit of cash for my first two Real Techniques brushes (crazy to think I never had any!). Although I'd never tried their brushes before I knew that my expectations would be fulfilled, I've not ever heard a bad thing about Sam and Nic Chapman's brushes.
The Expert Face Brush - wow. It claims to make your face look flawless and it honestly does. It applies foundation completely evenly around your face while still leaving a radiant dewy look, what more could a girl really ask for? I've only had this for a week but it has genuinely made me feel so much more confident about my foundation. I was planning to do a review on this brush although because there are SO many reviews out there and I'm a bit late to jump on the bandwagon I thought I'd leave that as I am probably the last of many to buy this brush. Call me sad but I'm making it my aim to collect every single one of RT brushes, I don't think I'll be let down!
The Expert Face Brush by Real Techniques retails at £9.99 and can be bought in Boots, Superdrug, RealTechniques & Various other websites
Have you tried this brush? Which are you favourite RT brushes?

Nursing homes are similar to assisted living communities in that patients reside in the nursing home and are cared for by medical professionals. In regards to nursing homes, care is given around the clock and for extended periods of time, by doctor, nurses, and licensed health professionals. Compared to other home health care options, nursing homes are for the most demanding patients requiring 24 hour care and long term medical assistance.
Those in nursing homes tend to be the disabled, elderly, and those with cognitive complications. Those with declining health, poor recovery from surgery and bone replacements, and patients with speech impediments also find safety in the care within a professional nursing home. Those suffering from severe illnesses are also admitted in nursing homes to better assure the patient is cared for and the living conditions are safe.
When one is considering nursing home facilities, there may be a lot of questions you have and need answers to. All questions and concerns are valid in regards to a nursing home and the placement of a loved one. When researching the types of nursing homes available, some of these questions you may have should be:
What are nursing homes?
How do nursing homes compare to assisted living facilities?
What are the typical services a nursing home offers?
How much do nursing homes generally cost?
What does a nursing home offer the patient?
What is not included in a nursing home?
Who are nursing homes for?
Nursing homes are compared to assisted living communities in that both care for those who need residential health care outside of the home. The difference between a nursing home and assisted living is that in a nursing home, the patients require 24 hour care and for extended periods of time. Those in a nursing home are less independent, if at all, and require constant watch and safety measures in place. Many people in nursing homes are bed ridden and immobile, thereby requiring help in every aspect of personal care.
Nursing homes generally offer a doctor and nurse on staff at all times, access to hospitals and medical equipment, locked doors, and alarms. In an assisted living center, these security measures as not needed for all patients and residents as in a nursing home.
When looking into the cost of a nursing home, quality of the center and the staff should remain the highest priority. However, costs are always a factor in regards to health care and nursing homes are known for their high prices for care. For example, many nursing homes are priced between $200 and $1000 per day depending upon the needs of the patient.
When one stays in a nursing home for a short time, the cost of the nursing home will go down. Compared to those who must live out their lives at a nursing home, the short term option may be the most cost effective. Why are nursing homes so expensive? This has a lot to do with the fact that skilled nursing services are required at nursing homes. As a result, the facilities have to spend a lot of money to staff all of the personnel. Also a determining factor in cost is the type of room one has. There are rooms of all sizes and occupancies available, similar to that of a hotel. The larger and more private the room, the higher the cost will be. Location of the nursing home also comes into account in regards to overall cost.
When a nursing home facility has been chosen and the costs have been agreed upon, one must determine how to pay for this type of care. Nursing homes are very expensive and can exceed the cost of an elderly person's apartment and medical costs when living outside of the nursing home. Figuring out a new budget to attribute to the cost of nursing home care is difficult if the funding is not there and savings have not been accumulated. In the event there is little money, insurance and other funds available, grants can be applied for and distributed on an as needed basis, and to the most extreme cases.
Private payments, insurance, Veteran's benefits and Medicare all tend to provide funds for the cost of a nursing home when ordered by a doctor. Provided there is documentation of the illness or injury, the costs should be at least covered in part via insurance. Given the fact that nursing homes are so expensive, your insurance company may not be required to pay for all of the care services billed. When looking for options to pay for a nursing home, be sure to take into account your own financial footing and ability to pay.
Nursing homes offer a great deal of services to their residents and patients, comparable to a hospital, but in a more home like setting. For those constantly worried about the health and well being of a family member, a nursing home may offer the services and peace of mind required. For those unable to care for themselves any longer due to serious illness and disease, unburdening the family of the ones who needs care by entering a nursing home can be a blessing in disguise.
While all nursing homes differ according to state, location, regulations, and abilities, the majority of nursing homes offer:
How does one find the nursing home for their loved one that will be the most beneficial and the least disruptive to routine? One must begin with personal referrals and to complete as much research as possible. When a list of acceptable homes has been made, you must visit the home, speak with the staff, assess the home itself, and visit with the patients to best determine the atmosphere of the nursing home.
When visiting potential nursing homes, be sure to assess the abilities the staff have in medical situations. Your medical, mental, and dietary needs to be adhered to and the nursing home should be designed with this in mind. Also to consider is the turnover of the staff, the overall morale of the building, and the experiences of past patients. Location is also important to consider. One should be in a nursing home close to family, friends, and a support system.
When visiting a nursing home and determining the acceptability, be sure to take into account the cleanliness of the home, the smell, the sights, the lighting, and the overall demeanor of the residents. Looking to the residents and their families for guidance may be the final piece of your nursing home puzzle. The current state of the nursing home residents offers insight to the capabilities of the staff. When the residents are cared for, the residents will be visibly healthy (as can be), clean, and of decent spirits. The referrals of the families of residents may also offer insight to the actual care the nursing home offers, as well as what to expect if one becomes a long term resident.
Nursing homes benefit those who cannot care for themselves and their homes in a secure manner due to cognitive decline and worsening health. On rare occasions, nursing homes are used a short term method for care, but the majority of patients in the nursing home facility are there due to long term care. Those with cognitive decline (such as due to dementia or Alzheimer's), poor mobility, poor communication, poor hygiene and lack of memory may find that a nursing home may be a good fit for their needs. Those seniors who can still care for themselves independently should not be in a nursing home.
A nursing home should be considered when a patient is no longer able to care for themselves independently, or keep themselves safe, and when nobody is able to care for them inside their home. Those who are unable to care for themselves need care in and out of the house, but those with dementia or Alzheimer's also need care to ensure the home and patient remain safe. Nursing homes should be considered in the event an elderly person has wandered away from home, has trouble remembering fires on the stove, or is unable to cook, clean, and care for the home.
A doctor's opinion is one of the best indicators as to whether or not a nursing home must be considered. The opinion of a doctor should be respected and trusted given that over time the patient has been watched and under the guidance of a medical professional.
Nursing homes benefit most those people that have difficult time practicing hygiene, housekeeping, and performing simple chores. Those who have memory issues, an inability to drive, poor mobility, and difficulty communicating benefit from the staff at a nursing home that is trained to care for their particular medical and mental needs.
All nursing homes vary depending upon location, price point, and specialties. Peace of mind, safety, and medical attention are all offered in extended care nursing homes. However, there are a core group of services a nursing home should offer their patients:
In a nursing home, most all services are covered to ensure the comfort and medical needs of the patient are met. Massage, luxury goods, single rooms and private meetings may not be offered in some nursing homes, but offered in others, depending upon the price. In a nursing home you or your family member may miss the comforts of the actual home one left, but the nursing home itself has all one needs to remain happy and healthy during their difficult times. Not included in a nursing home setting is the actual home one is accustomed to. Outside of the comforts of one's home, a nursing home has all that is offered in a home care environment, but with higher emphasis on medical attention and safety. A nursing home has much to offer all patients, so very little is not included.
Nursing home preferences are unique to the individual and family and are needed for a variety of circumstances. After researching the topics of your particular medical situation and need for a nursing home, you will be better able to assess whether a nursing home is right for your family. If you or a family member have cognitive decline, poor mobility, low communication skills, decline in social ability, and the inability to practice good hygiene, then moving into a nursing home may be the best option to secure the safety of all.
Obeying doctor's orders and moving to a nursing home can be a difficult time for most and counseling services should be offered to everyone involved. Also involved should be social service agencies and support groups to ensure the mental health and physical health remain in the family and with the resident. Ensuring you have doctor's orders and proper documentation should allow a smooth transition into the life of a nursing home resident and also ease the financial burden of the final costs.
For those looking for a safe home and care giving for those unable to care for themselves, nursing homes may be worth looking into. The modern nursing homes are unlike the nursing homes of the past and have stricter regulations for their staff. Ideally, the nursing home you choose is one all are comfortable with and provides the peace of mind needed to live the rest of one's life in peace.

It's weird. We don't usually think about it, though considering how much thought we give to other aspects of the relationship, we really should. We care about what they eat. We care about their bathroom and grooming habits. We buy them toys and play towers and other fun (and sometimes fancy) treats and consider ourselves bad owners if we don't. You see, we love our pets. Our dogs (or cats, or rats, or guinea pigs, or fish, etc.) are our furbabies and we want to treat them as well as we can – that is, until we walk out the door in the morning to go to work or head out for the day. Then, suddenly, our concern drops.
Think about it for a moment. You are hanging out with your partner or your friends or your kids and you are having a good time. Suddenly, without much warning, you are closed off in a room (or worse, a cage) and then left alone for hours on end. If you are a single pet parent, you may literally be gone most of the day (eight hour work day, commute time, gym usage, drinks and dinner, etc.) and yet never think about what your pet does, or how they react. A few owners who began to notice issues with their animals asked some researchers from a local college to help them discover that goes on. A hidden camera and several cases of separation anxiety later, they got the results.

text: This isn't a quiz game or anything, but I hear terms like "power user" and "light user" thrown around a lot, and I'm not exactly sure where I fit in. I consider myself kind of savy when it comes to phones, but mostly in the research part before purchasing (thanks to an ill conceived MotoQ purchase which taught me a lesson). So I know what I was getting inot with the Evo, the pluses, and possible minuses of the phone. This is my third smartphone, after a WinMo 5 Moto Q (if you even count that POS) and a Blackberry Curve. My data usage is probably moderate. I do go online with the phone a lot, but I don't think I'd have to be worried about approaching any data caps. I have a decent knowledge of apps, but I'm know sure if that's because I'm a smart phone guy, or because I know this secret trick called "googling it." I have no idea how to root, nor any interest in rooting (at least not until the warranty is up.). The reason I ask this is because even though there are simple fixes for some of the downsides to this phone, many detractors will say that the casual user would not think to do it, or be able to do it. I've have had no problem custimizing my phone, and I really don't think I'd be considered a "power user." So what would you say I am? A light, moderate, or power user? I'm leaning towards moderate. And honestly, as easy and intuitive as it was for me to change a couple settings to improve batter life, I imagine a light user would have no problem doing the same. Or am I really a genius and changing these settings are as hard as some tech sites say?

Bring your kids, bring your wives, bring them all. Lion King in all it's awesome glory is back, and in 3D no less.
We have some tickets for your families. Yes families, don't grab these from those of us with kids.
When "The Lion King" first roared into theaters in 1994, the story of Simba and his father touched the hearts of an entire generation–its pioneering soundtrack, unexpected humor and compelling characters captivated audiences worldwide. The film, which followed "The Little Mermaid" and "Beauty and the Beast," propelled The Walt Disney Studios' animation renaissance, becoming the highest-grossing animated film of all time. (In the U.S., it continues to be the highest-grossing hand-drawn animated film ever.) "The Lion King" won the Oscar® for Best Original Score (Hans Zimmer) and Best Original Song (Elton John/Tim Rice, "Can You Feel the Love Tonight") and earned Golden Globes® in both categories as well as for Best Motion Picture–Comedy or Musical. It is the best-selling home entertainment release of all time and inspired a Tony Award®-winning Broadway musical that became the seventh-longest-running musical in Broadway history in January 2011. And now, the popular classic is in 3D for the first time ever. A special two-week theatrical extravaganza kicks off Sept. 16, 2011, showcasing the film on the big screen in Disney Digital 3Dâ"¢.

Rates of gonorrhea, syphilis, and chlamydia have risen steeply at Fenway Health in Boston since 2011, according to presentation last week at IDWeek in New Orleans. Being HIV-positive and using pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) to prevent HIV were associated with higher risk of getting-sexually transmitted infections (STIs), but more frequent STI testing and treatment could potentially help reduce the numbers.

On average? Lets say you already understand how the industry operates, how long?
For me, I always have the problem that I feel I didn't spend enough time. But usually after like 2 hours I feel that I understand if it is a buy or not. The little details do nothing but confuse my original thought, because no company is going to be perfect.
For instance, if 1) I like the industry and how it relates to the macro environment 2) Earnings never miss estimates 3)EPS Growth rate is good 4) ROE/ROA is improving 5) The company has confident management and buys back shares 6) Is very well covered, so that there are plenty of news articles so I dont ever have to worry about missing a vital piece of info 7) The company is the best in its field 8) The chart is not ugly 9) The balance sheet is clean enough 10) They have enough cash to meet their bills
Is there really a need to still do like another 5 hours of research?
For instance, I just picked up shares of MHS on the drop, and did this quick analysis
1) Good industry
2) Was fine during the recession3) Market leader4) Insane growth (25% projected 5 years)5) Never misses earnings6) Buying back shares like crazy7) Patent cliff is a huge catalyst8) Baby boomers getting older9) Increased healthcare spending10) High retention rate of contracts
11) Stock is cheap in terms of PEG12) No dividends + lots of debt = leveraging their returns (and since they were fine during recession im not worried about hard times hampering this)13) Increasing ROA and ROE a lot every year14) Confident management
15) The recent sell-off only impacts their earnings by 3-7 cents per share...no big deal
In all honestly, is there a big need for a lot more DD? I read the last earnings call transcript, and will continue to read every Income statement and earnings call they have...tell me what else I should be doing, I am not such a fundamental guy, more of a momentum guy
My main problem with MHS is an ugly chart...but I have no problem buying more on dips
As long as it takes.
I happen to own an EHR that was purchased by a company that was then purchased by MDRX, MHS's rival. They broke compatibility of their e-prescriber with MHS's mail-order pharmacy as nearly the first thing they did. Works with every other pharmacy on Earth, but not Medco's. Makes me leery of the whole business model.
I'm in the same position you are. So much information can be accessed so easily, making the process shorter than it would have been a couple decades ago. The result is that I feel I haven't worked hard enough.
Where I do take my time is to think things over for a few days before making the actual buy. If the idea still sounds good, I feel much more confident.
I would say that it depends on the company how long I take. When I got HNZ I took hardly any time at all on DD the ketchup consumption in my home alone made me think I couldn't lose, but I took a lot longer to deliberate over BSI, a foreign grocery chain with a high dividend, but located in a volatile political region.

The deadline for operators to cut data roaming charges came to an end today with the EU threatening legislation unless prices are dropped.
EU telecoms commissioner Viviane Reding said the price of using data on phones while abroad - including internet access - must be slashed.
The EU said failure by the operators to reach an agreement may see legislation brought in that would force them to change the way they charge customers.
But Reding said she is not expecting the networks to have agreed to sufficiently lower their roaming charges.
An Ofcom spokeswoman said: 'We agree that the cost of downloading data when abroad is too high and is unsustainable.
'There has been come positive movement recently. We are working with the European Commission and our other European counterparts to ensure prices continue to come down for the benefit of customers.'
Last week, the European Commission unveiled plans to lower the cost of mobile phone calls by reducing termination rates, the fees operators charge each other for using their networks.
Operators have until 2011 to abide by the new regulations, which the commission estimated would make calls 70% cheaper.
3 chief executive Kevin Russell today called for the EU to regulate wholesale data roaming charges in order for operators to offer competitive roaming rates to their customers outside of their home networks.
He said: 'It took the EC to intervene on behalf of the consumer on voice and we think it is going to have to take similar action with data and text too.
'The market has failed to drive down text and data wholesale rates. This has effectively prevented competition from working to give consumers a better deal. Operator responses at the wholesale level have been tiny.
'Only five out of over 100 networks have taken us up on our current offer to every operator in Europe of a reciprocal wholesale deal of 25 Euro cents.
'This would give plenty of opportunity to dramatically reduce the data roaming prices all our customers pay. Some operators charge us wholesale prices of as much as £14.40 (€18.20) for a megabyte when we generally charge less than 1p per megabyte for data on our own network in the UK.'

Hi all
An auction house is offering this item as a "Military Radio Set". It looks more like a grid dip meter or similar. Does anyone know exactly what it is? I see that there is a verneer on the units dial so it must be for measuring - or must it?

So this is coming out a few days early, BUT I have got good excuses! I am sure of it… Actually it boils down to the fact that I want to share this with you before the day arrives so you know I am thinking of all my family and friends on Christmas. And I am praying that each of you is celebrating the birth of Christ with those that you love the most, near and far.
The card also is fulfilling a couple challenges the first is the color challenge at iCopic. I have stretched it a bit on my colors but it still has the generals. The card is also based on the card sketch over at Sassy Lil Sketches. So thank you both sites for pulling this one together for me. I have been wanting to put this stamp to use and I so love how it turned out.
I think my favorite part is the fact that the scalloped disk comes off and can be saved as an ornament on the back is written "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life. John 3:16"
Merry Christmas!
Blessings to all and to all a wonderful year!
So I promised I would post this guy yesterday for a friend and did not get it done! Sorry Tiffany! Here he is better late than never. I came up with this little snowman snow-globe to be the craft at my second graders winter party next week. He is made from a 10 oz. water bottle. I added a squirt (about 1 teaspoon) glycerin, white and blue glitter and a few sequins and glued the lid on tight. Then added two pipe cleaners for arms, a felt carrot nose, two googly eyes, a fleece scarf, and two more pipe cleaners with a bell on top to finish off the hat. I am so pleased with how he turned out ans I am excited to see if the class will like them. I have the bottles ready to go with the glitter glued in tight to avoid the mess :-).
Hugs all!
Woops I spoke a little too early! This is what greeted us this morning. We are freezing with blizzard conditions last night and the winds hanging around through today. Not much accumulation but we are frozen solid!
Well I decided to tackle three jobs at once and ended up with this fun layout that is awaiting photos. The funny thing is we are happily snow-less at the moment. This little snowman is colored with Copic markers and fulfills the current challenge at iCopic. The layout is based on a sketch from Scrappy Lil Sketches. To top it off it is a little prep work for my local Club Copic!
On the home front we just celebrated our first round of Christmas. With Dad on call next weekend and hitting the road with an already loaded down vehicle the following weekend we decided today was the day! The girls watched Polar express last night all bundled up in their sleeping bags and popcorn last night then opened up new PJ's for the season. This morning they opened stuffed stockings and a few gifts under the tree. John got me a gorgeous new coat with a quilted hood. I love it and will be looking good this winter!
The rest of the day is open with a date night to finish off for John and I.
Happy ho Ho Holidays!
I recently completed this layout for an article written by my very good friend Tami over at Get It Scrapped. It was a fun challenge, four of us took a digital kit and did "our thing" with it. Mine is very much still a paper layout using digital elements. The flower and both patterned papers were from the digital kit. I just printed them each on photo paper and used them on my layout. The photos are from a fun, fun night at Prairie Meadows. We watched ostriches race, and laughed a lot. We will go back for sure!
Life here is well and swinging into the Christmas season. The tree is up, stockings are hung and a few gifts are making appearances. As you can imagine the girls are pretty excited! I have a few last minute things to get together and I am all ready. I love this time of year though. The busyness is happy busyness. I like all the details, memories and family time.
Hugs to all!

Playground building in Utrecht, The Netherlands by Van Rooijen Architecten
September 29th, 2011 by Sumit Singhal
Article source: Van Rooijen Architecten
In an inner courtyard close to the city center of Utrecht a playground is situated for the children of the neighborhood. The old existing building on the playground was to be replaced by a new one. The brief called for a modest, durable and safe new building that would upgrade the playground and appeal to children. The building has separate spaces for a kindergarten. By means of a movable partition the spaces can be interlinked to provide space for different activities and multiple uses.
Within a very tight budget a colorful light-hearted object was designed and introduced in the playground. The relationship between inside and outside is playfully strengthened with specific openings and windows. A large covered canopy for sheltered play features the front of the building. Natural wood and color determines the cozy and comfortable atmosphere of the interior.

Sunday, Feb. 14, 2016 | 1:44 p.m.
Six days before the Nevada caucuses, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders faced off in opposing front-row pews while attending the same church service in Las Vegas on Sunday morning.
At Victory Missionary Baptist Church, one of the largest black churches in the valley, both candidates preached brief messages to members of the congregation. Sanders touched on common refrains, decrying billionaires and railing against mass incarceration, while Clinton touted the progress made by the Affordable Care Act and emphasized her relationship with President Barack Obama.
Clinton arrived to the church early — before the end of the previous service — and spent several minutes posing for pictures and greeting congregation members, including Nevada Sen. Minority Leader Aaron Ford and Rep. John Lewis, both Clinton supporters. Sanders arrived about 45 minutes into the service, sitting in a pew across the room from Clinton.
It was Sanders' campaign that contacted the church first about making an appearance at the service, the church's pastor, Robert Fowler Sr., said during the service. About an hour into the service, Fowler gave the two candidates a chance to briefly address the congregation.
Sanders, greeted with warm applause from the congregation, took an opportunity to lament how hard Nevada was hit during the Great Recession.
"This state was decimated," Sanders said. "We have made great progress, but much more needs to be done."
He spent a portion of his speech touching on mass incarceration to the repeated, enthusiastic amens of congregation members.
"We cannot as a nation turn our back on the reality that we have more people in jail today," Sanders said — punctuated by an "amen" — "than any other country on Earth."
Clinton opened her speech by quoting the book of Psalms: "This is the day that the Lord has made. Let us rejoice and be glad in it." The congregation responded with a chorus of thunderous applause.
Both candidates praised Obama in their speeches, with Sanders saying the country has made "enormous progress" under Obama and Vice President Joe Biden, and Clinton pushing to "build on the progress" Obama has made.
During her speech, Clinton took another oblique shot at Sanders, as she did during the last Democratic debate, in which she implied Sanders was a single-issue candidate.
"I am not a single-issue candidate, and this is not a single-issue country," she said.
At the end of the service, Fowler prayed for the two candidates.
"Whichever candidate becomes president, unite this country behind them," he said.
Fowler said last week that he will be caucusing for Clinton on Saturday.
During the service, several children gave short presentations about black men and women in honor of Black History Month. Children sang familiar hymns such as "How Great Thou Art" at the opening of the service, and a woman praise danced at the end of their speeches.
Today, Sanders also rallied supporters at Bonanza High School, while Clinton will attend a rally at Sun City Summerlin later tonight.

International Symposium on "Modern Technologies and Long-term Behavior of Dams", September 27-29 2011, Zhengzhou (China)
Developing countries such as China, Iran and Turkey are being at the heart of dam construction and hydropower development in the world. Many challenging problems, arising in the dam construction, are well solved, while the summary and integration of those pathbreaking technologies is lagging. On the other hand, many early built dams in the world have been operated for years, some over 50 years or even 100 years, and hence some problems like aging and cracks begin to appear, which urgently need to be solved. To provide a platform for engineers and scientists to present and exchange their successful experiences in dam construction, management and rehabilitation, Chinese National Committee on Large Dams (CHINCOLD) and other relevant organizations would like to sponsor an International Symposium on Modern Technologies and Long-term Behavior of Dams to be held in Zhengzhou, China during September 27-29, 2011.
The symposium will be a combined event of the 7th East Asian Dam Conference (EADC) and the 3rd International Conference on Long Term Behavior of Dams (LTBD). The EADC is a regional conference jointly sponsored by CHINCOLD, Japan Commission on Large Dams (JCOLD), and Korean National Committee on Large Dams (KNCOLD), which aims to promote the technical exchange and cooperation among East Asian countries in the field of dam technology. Since the 1st EADC in Xi'an China in 2004, it has been successfully held for 6 times by turns in China, Japan, and Korea. The LTBD conference is an international conference jointly sponsored by Chinese and Austrian universities, which aims to provide the opportunity for professionals to exchange their experiences and the latest developments related to the design, performance and rehabilitation of earth, rockfill and concrete dams.
Up to now, it has been held for 2 times. The combination of the 7th EADC and the 3rd LTBD conference as "International Symposium on Modern Technologies and Long-term Behavior of Dams" will enrich the contents of symposium and enlarge the scale of participants.
It is great honor for the Organizing Committee to invite you to participate in the symposium, which will provide a forum for sharing of experiences by engineers, development planners, managers, manufacturers, environmentalists, consultants, academicians, users and others. We sincerely hope that this symposium will contribute significantly to promoting the worldwide spread of successful experiences in dam construction, management and rehabilitation.
We are looking forward to welcoming you in Zhengzhou China in September 2011

What are you reading? I usually prefer my fiction books to be about the familiar–usually finding books where the protagonist is a thirty-something white female. It's not that I don't like reading fiction stories featuring other protagonists, it's that these books are easy to find.
According to the 2015 study by Cooperative Children's Book Center, there is not enough diversity in children's picture books. In 2015, almost 75% of the books published featured a white character, while 12.5% featured characters that were animals or trucks. More books with animal characters were published than ones featuring African Americans. More books with animal characters were published than ones featuring Asian Pacific Americans. More books with animal characters were published than ones featuring Latinos. More books with animal characters were published than ones featuring American Indians.
Why is diversity in books so important? People want to read about the familiar. It's easy for a white child to find a book featuring a main character that looks like them, but not as easy for other children. Children who see themselves reflected back in literature will make more connections with reading and will generally foster a more positive experience with reading.[i] Diverse books are more than just books featuring a character of a different race than the reader. Diversity in books also includes featuring characters of a different religion, gender, sexual orientation, ability, cultural background, or socio-economic status.
While researching the lack of diversity in children's books, I came across the Reading Without Walls Challenge (http://read.macmillan.com/mcpg/reading-without-walls/#challenge). This challenge helps promote diversity in what we read.
1: Read a book about a character who doesn't look like you or live like you
2: Read a book about a topic you don't know much about
3: Read a book in a format that you don't normally read for fun (it could be a chapter book, picture book, graphic novel, a book in verse, an e-book)
If you are interested in ways to promote inclusion of diverse characters in books, check out We Need Diverse Books (http://weneeddiversebooks.org), whose mission is to advocate for changes in the publishing industry to produce books that reflect ALL people.
Recently, 11-year old Marley Dias, made it her mission to promote diversity in books. Marley was frustrated that she could only find books about white boys and dogs. Her goal was to collect 1000 books about black girls. Marley launched #1000BlackGirlBooks—a large book drive to collect those books. She met and exceed her goal, and was able to donate these books to a local school.[ii]
What new and exciting things will you read?

Molecular-Scale Interface Engineering of Nanocrystalline Titania by Co-adsorbents for Solar Energy Conversion
The use of mixed self-assembled monolayers, combining hydrophobic co-adsorbents with the sensitizer, has been demonstrated to enhance the efficiency of dye-sensitized solar cells (DSCs). Herein, the influence of the anchoring groups of the co-adsorbents on the performance of the DSCs is carefully examined by selecting two model molecules: neohexyl phosphonic acid (NHOOP) and bis-(3,3-dimethyl-butyl)-phosphinic acid (DINHOP). The effect of these co-adsorbents on the photovoltaic performance (JV curves, incident photon-to-electron conversion efficiency) is investigated. Photoelectron spectroscopy and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy are performed to assess the spatial configuration of adsorbed dye and co-adsorbent molecules. The photoelectron spectroscopy studies indicate that the ligands of the ruthenium complex, containing thiophene groups, point out away from the surface of TiO2 in comparison with the NCS group.

Michael Friedberg Wrote:Hi JD,
I think your understanding may be incorrect. You first need to wind your watch manually to full power reserve. Then, by wearing it, it should stay at that point. If you don't wear it, you will lose power reserve until day 7, when it should stop.
Your watch sounds OK.
