The idea of God becoming a man is something that the Christian movement has grappled to explain since the early days of the first Jesus followers. Its a tough concept to explain in catechism texts, and when we do try to understand it it can still leave us feeling dry and baffled.

Pair set themselves alight in Lhasa
May 29 2012
Two men have engulfed themselves in towering flames outside a temple that is a popular tourist site in Lhasa, marking the first time a recent wave of self-immolations to protest Chinese rule has reached the tightly guarded Tibetan capital.
One man died and the other was taken to hospital after they set themselves on fire on Sunday outside the Jokhang Temple, the official Xinhua News Agency reported. The report quoted a local Communist Party official as blaming separatist forces, an accusation it often makes against Tibetan exiles who support the Dalai Lama.
The two men were taken away by authorities within two minutes of setting themselves on fire.
Protests have become rare in remote Tibet and Lhasa in particular because of tight police security that has blanketed the area since anti-government riots erupted in Lhasa in 2008.
There have been at least 34 immolations since March of last year to draw attention to China's restrictions on Buddhism and to call for the return from exile of the Tibetan spiritual leader, the Dalai Lama. Most have taken place in heavily Tibetan areas of China, but only one had occurred in Tibet itself and none in the capital.
The immolations are also likely to prompt tough, new restrictions on Tibetan social gatherings and religious activities in Lhasa, as they have elsewhere.

Top U.S. Health Insurance Companies Capitalizing on Reforms
By Shweta Dubey - August 2, 2013 | Tickers: HUM, UNH, WLP
After the recent introduction of healthcare reforms, the health insurance industry in the U.S. is expected to benefit from rising demand. Healthcare reforms such as the formation of health insurance exchanges and the government providing health insurance to citizens who cannot afford it will be the primary contributors to this growth. These reforms are expected to add 25 million U.S. citizens to the overall health insurance market. Three more »
Why Buy Hospitals?
By Dana Blankenhorn - July 26, 2013 | Tickers: AET, HCA, THC, UNH, VHS
Under the Affordable Care Act, also known as ObamaCare, hospitals are in a bind.
More wellness care should mean lower patient counts. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services are pushing automation for best practices, and checklists for operations, aiming to lower re-admission rates. Mistakes will no longer be tolerated, financially. While bringing more people into the pool will reduce the number of uninsured whose care must be accounted for more »

Obamacare Delays: Investors in Healthcare Beware
By Kyle Colona - July 17, 2013 | Tickers: AET, HMA, JNJ, THC, UNH
Key provisions of the Affordable Care Act (aka "Obamacare") have been delayed, and investors in the health care sector should get a second opinion.

WEDNESDAY, March 12, 2014 (HealthDay News) -- A U.S. Food and Drug Administration advisory panel voted unanimously on Wednesday that a new HPV test could be used before or instead of the Pap smear as a first step in cervical cancer screening.
In three separate 13-0 votes, the agency's Medical Devices Advisory Committee Microbiology Panel concluded that the cobas HPV (human papillomavirus) test, made by Roche Molecular Systems, is safe and effective as a first-line screen for cervical cancer.
Although the FDA is not required to follow the recommendations of its advisory panels, it typically does.
HPV, a sexually transmitted virus, is thought to cause the majority of cervical cancers. Certain strains, such as HPV 16 and 18, are most strongly tied to these tumors. The virus also causes genital warts in both men and women and certain head and neck cancers.
Roche was looking for the FDA to approve its HPV test as a first-line diagnostic tool. Women who test positive for the two high-risk HPV strains would then be asked to undergo colposcopy, which involves using a device that allows the doctor to get a clear view of the vulva, vagina and cervix and take a sample for further testing.
In addition, women who did not have HPV 16 or 18 but had other high-risk types of the virus would then have a Pap test to see if a colposcopy was needed. The data the committee reviewed in its decision comes from a trial called ATHENA, which included more than 47,000 women.
Testifying before the panel, Dr. David Chelmow, chair of the department of obstetrics and gynecology at Virginia Commonwealth University School of Medicine in Richmond, noted that "cervical cancer screening has been a huge success in decreasing cervical cancer incidence and death."
Chelmow, representing the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, added that "the college strongly supports further improving cervical cancer screening through the introduction of new paradigms such as HPV testing for primary screening. HPV testing as a primary screening method for cervical cancer is very promising, and appears effective for screening for cervical cancer."
Currently, the cobas HPV test is approved for use among women aged 21 and older who have already received an abnormal Pap test. It is also approved as an add-on to a standard Pap test in women aged 30 to 65. According to Roche, the cobas HPV test is able to screen for a variety of high-risk strains of HPV.
Dr. Andrew Menzin, a gynecologic oncologist at North Shore University Hospital in Manhasset, N.Y., said that "HPV testing has been a remarkable advance in cervical cancer screening."
Its greatest value is helping to decide whether a follow-up colposcopy is needed, he said. "The idea of reversing the order of testing is an approach to try to refine and minimize who [unnecessarily] goes on to colposcopy," he said.
Whether doctors will accept using an HPV test first instead of a Pap test will depend upon the clinical trial data supporting it and on doctors and patients being educated about it, Menzin believes.
He noted that current guidelines still favor using the Pap test first, "but the guidelines continue to evolve."
Although screening for cervical cancer is vital, it is not the only reason women should have a gynecological exam, Menzin added.
"Women should follow the current guidelines and have routine gynecological examinations," he said. "Gynecological care is more than cervical cancer screening."
There are two approved vaccines, Gardasil and Cervarix, that can protect against HPV. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends that all young girls and boys be vaccinated beginning at ages 9 to 11.

Help Us Help Boston
Hopeless Records' non-profit arm Sub City has teamed up with our bands in many ways over the years to try to make a difference in the world. Monday when the events unfolded at the Boston Marathon we felt compelled to do what we could to help.
So Hopeless Records/Sub City is once again working with our bands to raise money for those affected by the tragedy in Boston.
100% of the proceeds from all these items will go directly to The One Fund, which will be distributing funds to victims and their families.
THE ONE FUND I http://onefundboston.org/
Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick and Boston Mayor Menino today announced the formation of The One Fund Boston, the purpose of which is to raise money to help those families most affected by the tragic events that unfolded during Monday's Boston Marathon.
SUB CITY I http://hopelessrecords.com/about/subcity/
It's our belief at Sub City that bands and their music fans aren't just being lazy and avoiding real life issues and avoiding getting a real job, they are out changing the world by taking action.

Thesis Committee
Before the qualifying exam, the doctoral candidate and his or her advisor must assemble a thesis proposal as described below, and convene their committee.
A student's committee must be approved by the Dean of the Graduate School prior to the committee's first meeting. (A committee approval form is available on the Graduate School web site). The thesis committee must consist of at least five faculty, including a minimum of three from the Department of Cell Biology (the chair of your committee must be a primary in Cell Biology). Faculty with a secondary appointment in Cell Biology can be counted towards this requirement. The thesis advisor is a member of the thesis committee, but may not be the chair. Most commonly all members of the thesis committee are faculty at Duke University. The goal is to assemble a highly informed and appropriate thesis committee for each student and so faculty at other institutions can be made ad hoc members of the Graduate Faculty for the purpose of serving on a PhD thesis committee. Any exceptions to the rules regarding thesis committee composition must be approved by the DGS and the Graduate School. Students are strongly encouraged to review these requirements, which are detailed on the Graduate School web site.
Sometimes changes in the thesis committee are necessary during the progress of work and before the final exam (thesis defense). These changes must be submitted to the graduate school for approval at least 30 days before the exam.
Thesis Proposal and the Thesis Committee
Note: The thesis proposal is submitted to your committee for the first meeting after you pass the qualifying exam. It may take several months to schedule a meeting date, so start planning early. Deliver your proposal to your committee at least one week before your meeting. Sections A-E should be 10 pages in length, single spaced, one inch margins, 11 pt arial font. Section F is not included in this page limit.
Please write your proposal in an NIH-NRSA format. This means that you will need to include:
A. Abstract
B. Specific Aims
This section should consist of a concise summary of the problem you intend to address, a hypothesis, and the aims you plan to use to experimentally address the hypothesis.
C. Background and Significance
This section should provide the background context necessary to understand the problem you are addressing and why you believe the problem and your research are significant.
D. Preliminary Studies
Work that you have completed to date should be included. If you find it necessary to include work done by others, be sure to clarify which is your work, and which is work done by others.
E. Research Design and Methods
This section should include your experimental plan and the specific techniques you intend to use to address it. You may wish to break this into a Methods section, in which you include technical information about how you will obtain reagents and perform experiments, and an Experimental Design section in which you describe the experiments designed to address each of your aims. Alternatively, you may find it easier to include technical information within each Aim. In either case, remember to consider and discuss possible pitfalls, alternative plans, and the conclusions you hope to draw.
F. References Cited in the Proposal
In the Chair office (388 Nanaline Duke), you will find an excellent example of a thesis proposal written by a Cell Biology "mystery" student – you are welcome to take a look at this sample as you are preparing your own proposal.

It is all about the puppies
My daughter is 18 months old. She *loves* puppies. Specifically, she loves watching this video. Usually, when we watch this video (approximately 6.02e+23 times a day) I just open up a browser and Google It.
However, I heart reading. I want to pass those things on to my daughter. So, in an effort to give her exposure to the concept that letters make words, I want her to write a command which will make the puppies appear!
The idea behind doing this is that, as long as she is motivated to do something (i.e. watch the video), she may as well be learning something at the same time (i.e. words are made of letters).
I did the following (I'm using a Mac, using Google Chrome as my browser).
- Open a command prompt.
- Open up ~/.bashrc.
- Type the following command at the end of the file: alias puppies='open /Applications/Google\ Chrome.app http://www.youtube.com/watch\?v\=nHlJODYBLKs'
- Save and exit ~/.bashrc
- Run the command source ~/.bashrc
Now when she wants to watch the puppies, I open up a Terminal, we type puppies and the puppies magically appear!

Holidays are a great time to advertise. Because of the emotional context, marketers know people will be especially attracted to holiday-themed ads. Valentine's Day is no exception: You can almost set your clock to the sudden rush of banners strewn with cheesy hearts, bears and candy kisses.
Banner ads, once clicked, usually evoke the confusion of Alice's rabbit hole more than the come-what-may optimism of Forrest's box of chocolates — either way, you don't know what to expect.

Capaldi In Single Season Shocker?
Reports in today's Daily Express indicate that incoming Time Lord Peter Capaldi has signed up to a single run of 13 episodes of Doctor Who, and no more.
However, Kasterborites, we're hopeful that this is nothing more than tabloid mischief-making.
Running under the headline "Who's Next? New Doctor Peter Capaldi may stay just 13 episodes" the evidence presented to back up the claim is pretty thin – in fact, it's non-existent. Stating that the Twelfth Doctor will appear in the forthcoming Christmas episode, the Express continues:
Capaldi, 55, will star in two series of six episodes each before waving goodbye to the Timelord – or signing a new deal depending on how popular he has been.
Moffat, 51, confirmed that the former The Thick Of It star will be seen in 13 episodes next year.
(Steven Moffat's "confirmation" appears to come from the recent Broadcast interview.)
As you can see, there is nothing here that stands as a direct quote. Furthermore, it is unlikely that an actor of Peter Capaldi's stature would commit to more than one series at a time anyway.
So, cool your boots: we've still got at least a year of the Twelfth Doctor, so lets enjoy it before we start the doom and gloom of casting another actor, okay?
39 Responses to Capaldi In Single Season Shocker?
It is silly. I just think they want to see how successful this upcoming season will be. That's why it's just a one season contract as of now. That doesn't mean he won't be doing any more. If it IS highly successful and garners huge ratings…they will beg Capaldi to play the role for many more seasons to come. And remember that Capaldi has wanted to play this role since he was a child and at this point in his career, he doesn't have to worry about typecasting. Actually, he could stay in the role well over three seasons. He could be looking at this role as his swan song to eventually retire on. I can really see him going as long as Tom Baker did to be honest!
2 seasons max, but I honestly think he'd only do 'Who' for a year.
Are you aware of how big a fan Capaldi is? This is his dream role – he's not going to leave that quickly if he has anything to say about it. Matt Smith went year to year as well – there is absolutely nothing new here.
Basically, it's saying he can sign a new contract if he wants to, but won't be offered one if he&s rubbish . . . Which is, in essence, a description of every job in the world. Feeble premise for a story.
IIrc, that's how contracts for Doctor Who work, I remember talk of Matt Smith going between each season.
David Tennant and Matt Smith were reported to have signed 3 year deals.
True, though both were also reported to be on the verge of leaving after a year.
Considering Moffat has already confirmed the series is a 13 episode run, this just proves that this article is a load of BS…
Don't see anything here to cause alarm …. signing up for one season at a time is completely normal, this is just a bit of standard tabloid scaremongering!
Eccleston's 9th Doctor only appeared in 13 episodes…
It seems to me Eccleston may very well not have enjoyed the experience, or may have had issues with some of the people involved with the show at that time. Actors are only human; if he didn't enjoy the experience, he was perfectly right to walk away.
Also he wasn't a Doctor Who fan as far as I can tell. The job was a job. Again – fair do's, but the mere fact CE only did one year is not guide to what PC will do!
Its his dream job! As the Third Doctor would say 'Arrant nonsense'.
If you believe the rubbish written in a rag like the Daily Express then more fool you.
Moffat can't "do it again", he had nothing to do with the Eccleston thing.
He hasn't even gotten started and we're already dealing with this crap? I long for the day when tabloid are finally shut down. This kind of reporting is irresponsible and just seeks sensationalist attention.
If I'm not mistaken, Matt did it year by year, so I wouldn't be surprised if Capaldi's current contract is just for the next season, but that doesn't mean he's necessarily thinking of leaving after just the one season.
These "newspapers" are basically toilet paper with shit stories printed on them. It's way too early for any bullshit on this topic. Why do so many fall for the bullshit bait and lure every time? Why is anyone even paying attention? Ignoring this piffle would be a nice start.
Though it's not a definitive indication that Capaldi will leave after 13 episodes, I can understand his position if the last few weeks working with the studio have been "taxing". Back in 2006, Christopher Eccleston left not because he wanted to do other things, but because the professional experience he had with the crew and writers wasn't something he could work with over the long-term.
Moffatt's earlier comments on "The Doctor's Destiny" might also contradict the BBC's designs since its inception, as the old show demonstrated moments where the studio took charge of its direction that didn't sit well with every writer, hence those people left the project.
Quite possibly he's signed for one season…. with an option to stay on for another if he chooses. I imagine that's a perfectly normal way of doing things!
So far he's filmed, what? The regeneration scene? It's a little too soon to be discussing how he's finding the job! We're talking about a hugely experienced actor here who's also a lifelong fan and knows the show and what comes with it as well as anyone.
As per usual, a British newspaper couldn't be bothered finding any real news, so decides to run a spurious "Doctor Who Shocker!" to generate some interest.
Today must be a slow news day. Nonsense I'm sure and I predict a 3 season run from Peter with long gaps between seasons. He's a fan, he knew what he signed up for.
The only other reason I could see of not offering Mr Capaldi a contract of longer than a year is if there is a change of Producer. Budgets need to be planned and if Moffs not in the hot seat how can a contract be offered?
I love the way they write "Steven Moffat, 51″ as if his age has any bearing on anything at all, let alone the actual non story they are printing. Only in the press do you ever read that age thing, no one else does it, except Viz who get it wrong on purpose "Steven Moffat, 78″…
The problem is when the tabloids have selected a target, they just will not shut the f**k up, Certain suhuman elements seem to have targeted Moffat and Doctor Who in general. Let's hope it doesn't grow.
And of course, if there is a brief rest period(like when Tennant just did specials, or the middle of Season 7), you can bet that the tabloid idiots will be screaming "DOCTOR WHO CANCELLED!"
My boots were cool until I read the title for this! "Single season shocker!" That is the first time I was concerned. After reading it, of course having a year at a time contract does NOT concern me. You kind of Yahoo-News'd the title of this article.
I agree, I don't like the title of this article. It plays on the same field as the original newspaper story.
I think the role of the doctor should run the length of a prime ministers time in office and that's a minimum of 4 years or even a us president where they can only stay a maximum of two four year terms. We've already had two casting mistakes resulting in a waste of three regenerations, firstly being Colin Baker into Sly McCoy(although this wasn't Colin's fault at all as it was BBC internal politics that put paid to his tenure) then the other two were RTD's fault as he should've continued with Paul McGann but instead gave into that shallow and vain unprofessional pig Chris Eccleston who insisted that he wanted the role but had no intention of staying in fear of being typecast. (Any actor who fears that old "typecast" chestnut has absolutely no business going near a role like the Doctor because the role of the Doctor is bigger than any Shakespear role) If Steven Moffat has any sense at all, he'll tie all future actors to a 4 year contract and if Peter Capaldi has any sense, he'll commit to 4 years and not make the same mistake Eccleston made. Doctor Who is a show not to have the backside ripped out it otherwise we'll end up with another classic series disaster and we don't want that do we?
This is just hear say to sell papers,Peter Capaldi is a big fan of the show and a good actor so i think he would want two do a lasting impression with the role,so i think he will do at least three seasons with the series if all goes well with it.So i am not going to worry or speculate about it i am just going to sit back and enjoy the new series when aired.
If there's a kernel of truth to this, then it's a real bummer. The thing that makes me think it's a load of poo is that Capaldi is such a fan and I can't imagine him signing on for just a season…unless there's some reason (hey, is that John Hurt behind that curtain?)…
Makes sense to only sign an actor for 1 series. What if he's (no chance of this at all) terrible? Or hates making it? Or any number of things happen?
The papers are putting a negative spin on it, because the papers hate the BBC. Any chance to knock the broadcaster is seized upon.
*i season at a time.
Eccleston only agreed to do a single series but it wasn't til a few years later he admitted he didn't like how things were run. Anyways I wouldn't take the article to heart as you'll find it's just the press trying to get people worked up.
The Daily Express is probably the most sensationalist tabloid in the UK. I think the comedian Russell Howards summed up their message best:
Capaldi is booked for all the currently commissioned episodes.
Pingback: » Video of the Day: Patrick Ryan's 'Doctor Who:Beseiged" 4th Prequel Mini-sode
Chill guys. This is pretty standard. And honestly? The BBC is probably worried that casting an older Doctor might hurt the show overseas. (You know how superficial we Americans are). So they're probably hesitant to give Capaldi a longer contract until they know if the numbers will hold strong.

The story of my life is written in my calendar and to-do list. Some days the only item I cross off my list is "shower." Organizational experts suggest breaking down tasks into smaller ones. The idea being that if you {meaning myself} can break it down, an individual {me} will obviously not feel so overwhelmed. Okay, except the list itself can send me into a full blow panic attack on a Sunday night! Stay with me!
With the autumn season pushing against the front door, I thought I would share 2 quick DIY fixes when you racing against the clock AND you must get your fall décor out because that is a right of passage!
Tip #1 : Adding shoe or unused boxes, wrapped in craft paper, to add height or I like to call it "volume." Boxes for décor are like volumizer for your roots! It's quick and easy and with boxes stacked in my closet for a "rainy day" why not use what I have to bulk up my décor!
2 Minute Tip #2: pinch clips to get a strong grip on ribbon or fabric. This is useful for wreaths, quick fabric changes that can't wait for the iron on adhesive strips or gasp a sewing machine!
That's it! 2 Minute Tips Tuesday! Just curious how many started singing the theme song from Frozen after you read the first sentence?

A classic Russian nesting doll (so cute, right?) and a color-enhancing shampoo from Brooklyn-based amika might seem like two polar opposites. But both have roots in Siberia, Russia's mysterious and frosty tundra. Though it's best known for its freezing temperatures, this expansive region is home to some of the most diverse plants and herbs on the planet. Thanks to the abundance of greenery, Siberia is (funny enough) the source of the hair industry's hottest ingredients: sea buckthorn berry oil or obliphica oil which packs a rare mixture of omega 7 acids and the vitamin C levels of 15 oranges. The combination leaves locks shiny, glowing and gorgeous.
Luckily, there's no need to brave the permafrost in search of the magical elixir since amika's hair experts have made it the key ingredient in their lush Color pHerfection Shampoo—which some of you will receive in your Birchbox this month!
Amika! Love!

The Incumbent: Epilogue
Summary: It's an intricate web of murder plots, government conspiracies and rampant tanning. Oh, and the future of the entire nation.
'Who are you?' screamed the on-duty nurse on the Not Particularly Intensive Care Ward at the Prince Edward Private Hospital the next morning.
'I'm the prime minister,' said Duff. He and Holton-Lacey had walked past the front desk, keen to avoid any scrutiny. They were on secret government business.
'I don't care whether you're the Sultan of bloody Brunei, you're not coming in here outside visiting hours!'
'This scheme can't fail. We have the staff, the CEO and a plan.'
Duff engaged the woman in conversation, whilst Holton-Lacey slipped past to a tiny private room at the end of the corridor. Inside was dark, except for the red lights from a heart monitor. It beeped every minute. The beeps were nothing to do with the patient's condition; it just reassured staff that they'd plugged it in.
The man strapped to the monitor was breathing slowly. It was the shallow rasp of someone who looked like he was on the last phase of his life. Every breath of air seemed harder than the last. His face was expressionless, his eyes fixed at a point in the ceiling.
'Do you remember me?' Holton-Lacey asked.
The man didn't even acknowledge his presence. The machine beeped, that was all.
'Raise your finger if you recognise me.' He moved his face into the path of the man's gaze and smiled brightly. The patient didn't even flinch. Holton-Lacey threw a fist in his direction, stopping just a few millimetres from the nose. Nothing happened.
'My god, you really are just an empty vessel, aren't you?' he said, and he left the man to return to where Duff was talking with the nurse. She seemed to be bending his ear about nurses' pay, and he was asking what she expected him to do about it.
'Well, you are the prime minister.'
It was a good point. Fortunately, Holton-Lacey came at the right time, just as he was losing the argument.
'Come on, let's go,' he said, and Duff happily followed him down the corridor.
'So, you saw him?'
'Yes, I did.'
'And is he up to the task?'
'I'd say so. He is the perfect man for the job.'
'Brilliant,' said the prime minister. 'This scheme can't fail. We have the staff, the CEO and a plan. Perhaps I should write it all down on a big sheet of paper.'
'No way,' said Holton-Lacey. 'I think we'll keep this one in our heads and try and avoid any documentation.'
'Thank God that Botherington woman went and got herself pregnant,' said Duff.
'Yes,' said Holton-Lacey. 'That will make life a bit easier.'
'And now we can show Sydney Musson who is really in charge.'
'We certainly will,' said Holton-Lacey, pleased with the way things had turned out.
Despite the best efforts of the public health system, it seemed he was on a full road to recovery...
The prime minister doubted he could ever forgive his finance minister for what he'd tried to do — slaughtering half your own people is something to be frowned on — but he did seem to have mellowed over the last few months. Perhaps they could work together again, just like the olden days. He knew with their new broadband network employing thousands, they'd soon regain control of the country.
'In years to come, when people are asked who was the greatest leader this county has ever known, what name will they say?' asked the prime minister, expecting his now more compliant finance minister to call out, 'Alvin Duff, of course.'
But he didn't. Holton Lacey paused for a moment. 'Er...'
There was an embarrassing silence. He'd forgotten his name again.
Back in the hospital room, the frail man had another guest. The visitor was almost luminescent, sending a strange orange glow across the darkened room. He moved over to the bed and placed his hand on the forehead of the comatose patient. 'Don't worry,' he said. 'I haven't forgotten. I've still got a job to do; I won't let you down.' The patient's hand twitched slightly, the first movement in weeks. Then, as the stranger tiptoed out the door, a smile slowly spread across his face and he managed to open one eye. Despite the best efforts of the public health system, it seemed he was on a full road to recovery.

A copy of the ChangeLog (although it doesn't say much) can be found in the news section and updated files are of course available under downloads.
2002-02-19: The web site has gotten a bit of an update. Most noticeably is the new +/- images I'm using, which I got from Alex T. You can download them from contributions if you want to use them yourself. I've also updated the list of sites in use and it now contains quite a number of sites. The FAQ got updated with an entry for submenus that won't open and some of the explanations were rewritten slightly. Lastly I've also created an awards page, even though it only contains one entry so far.
Other pieces of information
The first version of tree menu menu, published in December 1998 was a modification of Mike Hall's tree menu. I've since then added features, re-written most of the code, and changed quite a lot of things. Our menus therefore no longer share much between them. I am still grateful for Mike's work which helped me a lot back then.
If you modify the code to add features and feel those features could help others I would be very happy if I got a copy of it so I could add it either as a separate contribution or directly into the code. You will of course get credit for the work you've done.
All information necessary to get the menu system up & running should be available through the menu on the left. I hope you get the menu to work as easily as I have. Should there be any trouble with setting it up or getting it to work read the FAQ, search the mailing list archive on Yahoo! or ask on the message board.

His hotel was very fancy. Nice room and nice hospitality

Best place I've stayed in vegas. The pool gets late afternoon sun, which is nice, especially since many pools do not. No resort fees. Free breakfast.

A rash of catastrophic collapses around the nation is driving new deck design and code standards. Builders who keep up and know how to fix what's wrong with America's aging decks will prosper.
Q: What's a good way to set deck piers in shallow water?
Production processes done in the shop minimized material handling at the site and allowed the job to move forward in the shop while rain drenched the site.
Q: I'm building an outdoor deck for a client who wants me to use lumber treated with micronized copper, in the belief that it's less harmful to the environment than wood treated with other chemicals. I'm not very familiar with the material. Can it be used in ground-contact applications, including...
Add safety without impeding views with Genovations glass railings.
A straight taper at the bottom transitions to a curve at the top, making for some careful millwork.
Color-matching trim heads, sharp points, and self-clearing threads--designed for composite decking
Solid bracing and strong connections are the keys to a durable, bounce-free structure.
Concerns about spray foam; passive-house rift; deck failures; and more
Roll roofing was the wrong material for the flat roof under this second-story deck.

Tres Gatos, the combination tapas bar/record shop/book store on Centre Street, has started serving brunch.
The new service began last weekend, according to owner David Doyle. Brunch is from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays.
"After brunch, we'll be offering a light bar menu from 2 to 5 p.m., then our normal dinner service will begin at 5:30 p.m.," Doyle wrote in an email to JP Patch.
Here's a look at the new brunch menu — which includes items like chickpea pancakes.
Tres Gatos joins a JP brunch scene that has more options than it used to.

Having a sick-day plan
One of the best things you can do in preparation for being sick is to have a discussion about sick-day care with your diabetes care providers. This will not only help you know what to do, but it may also ease some stress since you won't be facing an illness completely in the dark. It will also give you an idea of how long to manage your illness alone and when to call for help.
Topics to discuss include when to call for help, how often you should monitor your blood glucose and ketones, what medicines to take and how much of each to take, and how and what to eat. Typically, doctors want to hear from you in the following circumstances:
- When you have been sick or have had a fever for 2–3 days and aren't getting any better.
- When you have been vomiting or having diarrhea for more than six hours.
- When you have moderate to large amounts of ketones.
- When your blood glucose is consistently higher than 250 mg/dl despite having taken extra insulin.
- When you have taken only oral medicines and your blood glucose has stayed above 250 mg/dl for more than 24 hours.
- When you have any symptoms of DKA.
- When you don't know how to take care of yourself.
However, these are only general guidelines. Be sure to ask your doctor for guidelines that fit your diabetes and life on when he wants you to call, as well as what kinds of information he will want to know when you call. Some likely questions include how long you have been sick, whether you have lost weight during your illness, how much fluid you have been able to drink, your current blood glucose level, whether you've had any episodes of very high or very low blood glucose, whether you're taking your usual medicines or any additional medicines called for in your sick-day plan, and whether you have a fever.
With this in mind, a critical aspect of helping yourself and your doctor manage your illness is to keep a log of what is going on with your body. Through record-keeping, you may be able to identify patterns. It will be especially important to monitor your blood glucose level every two to four hours while your levels are elevated or until symptoms of your illness subside. Ketones should be monitored every four hours until they are no longer present. Since your body is going through a small trauma, you might not have or notice your normal signs of high or low blood glucose. By checking your blood glucose level often, you may be able to catch any problems early and treat them quickly.
Some items to log and keep track of include the following:
- Blood glucose readings
- Results of ketone tests
- Fluid intake
- Any symptoms such as vomiting, diarrhea, stomach pain, or headache
- Your temperature
Sick-day tool kit
The last thing you want to do when you feel sick is go to the store for medicine, food, or tissues. Having shelf-stable foods in your kitchen cupboards and other supplies on hand can be a lifesaver when you realize you may be planting yourself on the couch or in your bed for a while. Some items to stock in your kitchen include fluids with calories such non-diet soda, fruit juice, and regular Jell-O, as well as some sugar-free items such as diet soda and sugar-free Jell-O or pudding. Include things that taste good to you when you are ill. Other items you will want include the following:
- Thermometer
- Over-the-counter pain reliever such as acetaminophen or ibuprofen
- Sugar-free cough syrup or throat lozenges (In addition to looking for the word sucrose in the ingredients list, look for dextrose, fructose, glucose, and just about anything else that ends in –ose. These are usually types of sugar. However, if you don't have sugar-free products in the house, the amount of sugar you receive in a regular product is small and shouldn't have much effect on your blood glucose level.)
- Decongestant (Even if sugar-free, decongestants can raise blood glucose level. Nasal sprays, however, may have less of a blood-glucose-raising effect than decongestant products that are swallowed.)
- Ketone strips (Make sure they're not expired.)
- Lancets
- Glucagon kit in case of severe hypoglycemia (Check the expiration date on this, too. A glucagon kit requires a prescription, which most doctors are willing to write for anyone with Type 1 diabetes.)
- Notebook or pad and a pen so you don't have to go hunting for something to write on
- If needed, a sliding scale showing dosage adjustments for your diabetes medicines according to blood glucose and ketone levels
- Several bottles of water so you don't have to get up to refill your glass

Justin Timberlake Tickets: Cheap Concert Tickets Announces that Justin Timberlake Presale Tickets are Available for Shows in Montreal, Raleigh, Tulsa, Las Vegas, Dallas, Houston, Atlanta, Orlando and Edmonton Justin Timberlake Presale Tickets Available for Shows in Montreal at Bell Centre, Raleigh at PNC Arena, Tulsa at BOK Center, Las Vegas at MGM Grand Garden Arena, Dallas at American Airlines Center, Houston at Toyota Center, Atlanta at Philips Arena, Orlando at Amway Center and Edmonton at Rexall Place. Public onsales for Justin Timberlake begin on Monday, May 13th at 10:00 a.m. local time.
NEW YORK, May 10, 2013 /PRNewswire-iReach/ -- Justin Timberlake is back and he is hotter than ever preparing for "The 20/20 Experience World Tour." The 32-year old newly-married pop and R&B singer, actor, and record producer is poised to set North America, Australia, Europe, and South America on fire with the announcement of his highly-anticipated fifth concert tour dubbed "The 20/20 Experience World Tour." After six years of being quiet on the concert scene, Justin Timberlake decided to get back in the game and do what he does best: performing. The concert series will kick off in Bell Centre at Montreal, Canada on October 31, 2013
After putting his music career on hold to give way to acting, the six-time Grammy awardee heralded his much-awaited return to the music circuit last January 2013 immediately followed by the release of his album's single "Suit and Tie" featuring Jay-Z from his third album The 20/20 Experience.
The 20/20 Experience album was officially released on March 19th and it landed right on the number one spot on the charts. Clearly, the guy has been missed and there is no stopping him as he made an announcement that "The 20/20 Experience Part 2" album will be released on September just in time for the start of the concert tour.
The former lead singer of boy band N'Sync tested the waters and ventured on a solo career in 2002 while their group was on break. He launched his solo single "Like I Love You" at the 2002 MTV Video Music Awards. The move to go solo definitely proved to be wise as he went on to become one of the most commercially successful singers following the release of his solo albums "Justified" in 2002 and "FutureSex/LoveSounds" in 2007 which gave us hits such as the controversial, post-Britney Spears hit song "Cry Me a River", "Rock Your Body", "What Goes Around…Comes Around" and "SexyBack".
The infamous "wardrobe malfunction" in the 2004 Super Bowl half time show performance with Janet Jackson that caused him to issue a public apology on the threat of not being able to perform in that year's Grammy Awards was the start of his shift in career focus. The transition to acting came easier as he had already dabbled in a little bit of it in the past with appearances on TV shows like "Star Search" and "The New Mickey Mouse Club." During this period, Justin Timberlake still made his presence felt in the music scene by doing collaborations with other artists and groups such as Snoop Dogg and Black Eyed Peas. Some of the movies he participated in were "Alpha Dog", "Shrek 3" (where he lent his voice to a character named Prince Artie Pendragon), "Snake Moan", "The Social Network", "Friends with Benefits", and "Bad Teacher."
Catch Justin Timberlake as he brings the house down one city at a time with "The 20/20 Experience World Tour".

LUBBOCK, TX (KCBD) - Curiosity consumes Levelland after federal law enforcement officers raided Bobby Froman's home early Friday morning. Federal agents charged 28 defendants for trafficking methamphetamines including two Hockley County Sheriff's Deputies-Narcotics Officer, Jesse Quintanilla and Chief Deputy Gordon Bohannon.
"When I heard I was just like in this small town and all this investigation that's been going on for all these years. We just didn't expect nothing like that," said Maria Mendez. Federal agents started investigating a Levelland drug operation months ago. One of the men behind it all is Bobby Froman. This is not unusual for Froman. Police charged him with multiple drug possessions in the past.
The Hockley County Sheriff, who arrested Froman in the past, says he did know two of his deputies had a relationship with Froman, but he believed it was strickly proffesional. The shock still remains throughout Levelland, along with many rumors.
"Nobody knows. It's just all hear say. I mean, yes, we know they are in jail and people are having rumors everywhere. The way I see it, I've lived here all my life and I'm behind my community, I'm behind Bohannon and Jesse you know and if they did do what they did, then you know what, they will pay for what they have to do," said Jovita Castillo.
Bohannan appeared in handcuffs before a judge at the Federal Building in Lubbock on Friday afternoon. Now, he is being held in the Lubbock County Jail without bond. His hearing is set for July 20th. The rest of the defendants will appear in court on Monday, July 13th. If convicted on the conspiracy charge each defendant faces 10 years to life in prison, and a fine up to $4,000,000.

(If you're outside the UK, here's a link to be able to watch UK TV programmes: bit.ly/oVMz60)
Upstairs Downstairs
My friend Sarah was an Extra in last Sunday's episode (11th March), and managed to make it on-screen in several shots. She's the one on the left, and looks a lot older here than she does in real life!
As for the show: I'd hoped for a better week this week, but it was all a bit flat. No sign of the lesbians again (it's as if it never happened), and far too much of Spargo. He really is a poor actor. I'll keep watching as I feel I've 'invested' my time in it now, but I'm not enjoying it!
CLICK HERE TO GO TO SITE (Upstairs Downstairs, BBC1 Sunday 9.00 pm)
Donald Trump's Celebrity Apprentice
Well. Another week's gone by and I've still got five left to watch, but hope to catch up this week. It's gripping stuff. Check it out:
There's another Apprentice to watch this week though, isn't there? Yes, it's the return of The Apprentice with Lord Sugar on Wednesday. I had a quick look at the site the other day, and one of the candidates lists her hobbies as 'Animals'. That's it … 'animals'.
I truly wonder what's in the mind of any adult who lists the word animals in a profile of themselves. What does that mean? Oops, I'm digressing!
Take Me Out
I've waxed lyrical about Take Me Out many times on here. I love it for Paddy McGuinness's humour; its feelgood factor and the seemingly successful couplings, but I was shocked to read yesterday that it's all a sham, so when the lovely Gracie got a date last night, it wasn't the happy moment I'd waited 11 weeks for.
I'm quite a cynical person, but I had no idea this show was fixed, and feel as if I've just found out that Father Christmas doesn't exist, so when it ended up with Gracie being the only one with her light left on (which meant she HAD to be picked), I now wonder whether it was totally engineered?
I've followed Gracie's progress each week on this post and have tweeted about it during the shows. Many people have agreed and re-tweeted me (including the show's own Twitter account!), and there's been a growing awareness in the media of the time she's spent waiting for Mr Right – or even Mr Wrong.
Gracie's been the perfect contrast to the other 29 'identikit' girls, and any man would be lucky to have her. She's pretty; witty, and clearly a lovely person. They'd (coincidentally?), given her a makeover this week, and the guy who 'picked' her said she had a twinkle in her eye and that he was happy with his date. I just wish he'd actually chosen her …
Are you watching Benidorm? It always had a lot of Carry On style innuendo, but this current Series is just about as blatant as you can get away with (even after the watershed), on what's – essentially – a family show, and as for the gay/camp humour … well, it's totally in your face, and I LOVE IT!
It almost ran out of steam at the end of Series 3, but reinvented itself and is now camp as Christmas and totally hilarious!

Ooh, it's not laugh-out-loud funny, and I don't know how Jamie's mother would have still been standing after all the alcohol she knocked-back at the meal, but it ticks all the boxes and I'm really enjoying it (apart from Mike – although it was better this week as he didn't have any scenes with Jamie).
Just a teensy niggle … Jamie's very well-spoken, and I just don't feel as if he would really be the son of those two parents (who I also feel have been miscast – if I'm being honest). The dad – particularly – doesn't look remotely like him, and it doesn't feel believable (unless Jamie turns out not to be his biological son at some point in the future).
It's a nice, feelgood show though, and I like it a lot.

Watson & Oliver
If you've missed this show, you might have been missing a treat. I'd assumed they were men, but Lorna Watson and Ingrid Oliver are two very funny women comedians whose sketch show (like all sketch shows), has some good bits and some less good bits.
They write their own material (with 'additional contributions' by several male writers), and – as a woman – a lot of it really appeals to me (is it their's or the men's I enjoy though?).
They remind me of Morecambe and Wise in places, and I'm already looking forward to seeing certain characters reappearing. The funniest part about it for me though, is that in one of the sketches, Watson's character is almost the exact double of me (apart from the blouse: I'd never wear anything as flamboyant!), and it's very weird looking at 'myself' on screen!
(That's her by the way. I haven't got a photo of myself since 2009, & my friends/family haven't send me one in time, but hopefully I'll get one for next week.)

Radio Times
Watson and Oliver's show is becoming a weekly topic of conversation between Barry Harris and I, and there's many a mention of it in his and Nick Anderson's Friday show.
Who'd have thought that the local paper's crossword could be such a rich comedy vein? If you like radio comedy, you really can't afford to miss The Big Weekender.
In the meantime … at the risk of repeating myself: if you like comedy, you really do not want to miss this show. It's real 'cult classic' stuff, and if they were on mainstream radio they'd have a huge following. (They do some clever – and very funny – sketches, and could probably write for Watson and Oliver!)
PS Barry's a very keen Eurovision-watcher, so-much-so that he even watched the whole of the Russian heats, and is predicting this to be a contender: Buranovskie Babushki

PS Not strictly TV-related, but why, oh why does the Daily Mail's excellent Saturday TV Guide continue to list the Footie Finder by club and not day? There's 72 clubs in the league, and only a few of them will be on TV in any given week.
Listing matches by DAY makes it easy to see what's on when. Who's actually playing is largely irrelevant to most football fans, as no matter who someone supports, they'll still want to watch all the football on TV that week. Come on Daily Mail; put it back to how it USED to be please!
