Unfortunately, the list of possible side effects is long. The oncologist just went over the most likely candidates w/me. I did end up with pretty severe leg/foot pain 2 days after my first chemo. This one is a bit unusual, so it wasn't discussed. I was scared to death, because I couldn't imagine being in that much pain for so many weeks. It's really a matter of about 3 days, and I can medicate myself fairly well, so I'm left w/about 3 days of discomfort/soreness. I think it would be too scary to go over every possible side effect, when so many of them don't crop up. Can't help w/the radiation question, as I'm chemo only right now. I'd definitely bring up your concerns to your doctors. I go in w/a whole list of questions each time I see mine. Hope that helps at least a little. And I hope it gets better for you.
Serous Carcinoma Questions
Communication problems
Asked by Happyjack on Monday, December 3, 2012
Communication problems
I'm finding that I'm not always given as much information as I feel is needed; or I get the information after the fact. For example, I was initially told that I would lose my hair, get chemo brain, and possibly nausea and vomiting. No mention of the other side effects that I did get until I asked about them after I got them. Where is informed consent in all of this? Is this a common practice? My surgeon and oncologist both utilize the internet which I think is great but the rad/onc does not. I will be seeing the rad/onc at the treatment center (he's not the same doc that established my treatment protocol) every week to answer questions/concerns. I'm not sure I will need to see him every week. Have other had this experience?

You have to remember that everyone reacts differently to chemo. No way to really know exactly what you'll experience. The 3 most common side effects are nausea, vomiting and hairloss. So it would only make sense that these would be the side effects your dr would warn you about. It's important that you do your own research on chemo so that way nothing is a surprise. I think I knew more about my chemo and the side effects than my Dr did. Together, we also discover new side effects. Good luck with your treatments.
Communication is always a problem, but it's a two-way street. Doctors tend to use jargon. Patients need to ask what those words mean. Also, BuckeyeShelby and ticklingcancer are correct, the list is very long and every patient reacts differently. No one expected my reaction to Rituxan, but it happened and now we both know.
I can't complain about not getting info about the chemo process - I'm getting treatment at an oncologists group that seems very organized. Before I ever started treatment, I met with a nurse who explained just how the sessions would go, and I got a whole folder of information re: side effects (and the remedies), nutrition, support programs, etc. Every week when I go for blood draw I fill out a form with questions about how I'm feeling, and a nurse or the oncologist goes over it to see if there's any new (or worse) symptoms, what's bothering me the most, etc. This group also has patients' stats online too, so I can check my blood count, CA 125, etc.
My Chemo Oncologist told me of the most common side effects, however, his office gave me printed pages from an internet site that explained in detail the side effects specific to the drugs I was taking. My Radiology Oncologist shared some side effects of external radiation, however, I discovered some possible permanent side effects on my own through internet research. I expressed my concerns to my gyn oncologist & radiation oncologist, and following a PET Scan that showed NED, I was told that I could opt for internal radiation which had less side effects. So that's what I did - internal radiation. If I had not found the permanent side effects of the external rad. on my own, I believe that I would have never been able to make an informed decision.
Most of the information, I found by researching. The cancer center really didn't go over much for dad. There should be some kind of orientation and more detailed patient education for people who want it. There was a brief patient education just to go visit the chemo infusion room, and talk about the medication. This is one of the reasons why whatnext.com is useful. You can connect with other people and their personal experiences.
Its sad to say butmost Doctors do not gwt communication training in Med school and it is one of the most important skills they should have. While communication is a two way street thereare some things we all can do to he;p it along. First is to do some homework and come to appointments prepared with questons and items for discussion. There are lots of places to get info but be sure to check and make sure it is accurate. This approach will allow you to get the Drs to think about treatment alternatives that they might not otherwise consider. Good luck !!!!!!
Communications is a real issue in the medical community and not use in the oncology department. But this issue is a two way street, and unless you speak up your medical team has no way of knowing what issues you are having. Our medical care is a collaborative effort and we need to be proactive.
I am very fortunate, I can e-mail my oncologist with any questions, and he gets back to me really fast. The the nurses in the infusion department are a great resource, and they deal with side effects every day, they have been helpful, and print up information about my chemo drugs when I need it. My oncologists also have great nurse practitioners who are their partners, and have been critical in giving advice on how to cope with side effects, this includes over the counter and prescription meds. When I had radiation, the nurses were super, giving me advice and ointments to help cope with the blistering, etc that radiation causes.
Every chemo drug has a list of all side effects that have ever been reported for that particular drug. All you need to do is ask your oncologist for it, or google it on the internet,. What your oncologist and the internet can't tell you is which of those side effect you will have because there is no way to know until after the fact.
Your oncologist and the internet also can't intuit how much information your feel is needed or wanted, only you can determine that. So, if you don't get the info your need or want, ask.
Just as a by the way, I would be a little concerned about a surgeon or oncologist that needed to rely on the internet for information in their fields of expertise.
If you are getting daily radiation treatments, it is fairly standard protocol to see the radiation oncologist once a week. This is not only to answer questions, but to examine your skin in the irradiated area to monitor burning, cracking, swelling, etc. so you will need to see him every week.
Thank you all for your input. Yes, I have gone to all my appointments with a list of questions/concerns. I'm just surprised that a written list of possible/probable side effects wasn't included in the information packet given to me when I first saw my oncologist. Having worked in a hospital (not as a nurse though) I know we usually gave patients written information (got a printed information paper upon discharge from hospital after hysterectomy), and with other surgeries/procedures so am just questioning why not with chemo. I know everyone is different but there are still side effects that are expected and those that can occur. I have gone online and found out the side effects of the meds I was given but still feel that it's the doctor who should be sharing the info. Can't always trust what you read online!
Will be starting radiation tomorrow, told to get blood test the week of radiation and not specified to do so the day before......so I got the blood test last Thursday and had to have another one done today to meet the "day before" requirements even though the results were normal from Thursdays blood draw. I'm also finding that a lot of the offices/treatment centers call the day before your appointment to let you know what to do. I left the house early this morning to run errands and get to several appointments, so was glad that I had called the radiation center before I left to find out that I needed to repeat the blood test and to drink 18 - 24 oz. of water an hour before the treatment. This could have easily been written out for me at the time the appointment was originally made and would have prevented a lot of confusion and last minute hassle to get blood work done in time.
For those of you who had classes before you started chemo, I think that is a wonderful idea. Getting chemo is really scary and to have someone explain things is comforting. I can't help but compare going to Lamaze classes to "prepare" for the birth of a child to going to classes to "prepare" for chemo.
Happyjack, WOW...this is a great question and it amazes me how many hospitals don't perform informed consents. I am an oncology/end of life nurse and prior to my nursing career, I worked in the field of research and so I know the value of an informed consent. As a nurse and really the rule applies for any caregiver, our role is to educate those we tend to so that they can make informed decisions. We are asking you to allow us to introduce a toxic chemical into your blood stream so the least we can do is go over the benefits and risks. Many people don't realize that the U. S. Patient Bill of Rights states that oncologists recommend two options of chemo because they are the only physicians who can get a kick back for recommending a drug. When some one gives you a computer print out describing a chemotherapy you should demand that they go over that description with you before you consent to the treatment. Go over those side effects even if it means you have to reschedule your treatment for another day. This is your right. I have never given treatment without an informed consent. For those of us who have worked in research, we know that some of those side effects listed have nothing to do with the drug. If you participate in a trial, and while on that trial you slip on the ice on your front stairs in the winter, you have to report that to the trial coordinator. That fall then gets listed as a possible side effect as an unsteady gait because it cannot be proven that the trial drug did not cause the fall so this is why it is important to go over that print out. As side effects are listed, the most common ones are listed first and so that fall might be listed last but by law, it has to be listed. Remember that your oncologist and staff works for YOU, so you have a right to this information and the right to expect an informed consent. All doctors should have general informed consent forms, especially gyne oncs because of the in office procedures they perform like leeps, or colposcopies so to ask for one is not too much to ask. After all, it is you that will be expected to suffer from those side effects, some long term so BRAVO to you for such a fantastic question. It is patients like you that make our job easier because you are involved in your care and your desire for this knowledge only empowers you. If you should need to go over those handouts, I am always here to go over each drug and I would suggest you sign up with a website called chemotherapyadvisor.com. it is free to join and it will explain each regimen and chemo by disease. Best of luck to you, Carm.

"Everyone has a story to share. Especially the non-storytellers."
Thaler interviewed by Silicon Republic
Thaler profiled by Silicon Republic.
"How to best share powerful and truthful stories when others insist they can tell your story better than you."
Now is the time to invite and amplify the stories of supporting and heroic collectives.
By "storifying" our days, we can step back, reflect, and learn.
Victoria Ward, of London's Sparknow, reflects on a conversation she and Thaler had about Thaler's extensive work in oral history.
Labeling stories "dangerous" dismisses them and reduces understanding of complex situations and experiences. Stories work to surface and illuminate truth.
Listen to Thaler on BBC Radio!
"Oral history is the perfect tool for celebrating the multiplicity of voices that define a legacy and create new, legacy-worthy futures."

According to the FoodSaver manual, marinating meat in a vacuum-sealed container opens the meat's pores, allowing the marinade to penetrate more quickly and deeply. Instead of marinating meat overnight, you can cut your prep time to 20 minutes. This is easiest with a FoodSaver vacuum packaging canister. (If you use a regular vacuum sealing bag, the machine might suck up some of the liquid marinade along with the air unless you freeze the marinade first.) Your machine must have an appliance port to use the vacuum packaging canister; check your user manual before you begin.
Place the FoodSaver on a dry, level surface, such as a counter. Plug it in.
Place the meat inside the vacuum packaging canister and pour the marinade over it. Leave at least 1 inch of space at the top. Wipe any liquid off of the rim and seal the lid by snapping the latches into place.
Insert one end of the accessory hose in the accessory port on the FoodSaver and the other end in the hole on top of the vacuum packaging canister. Twist while inserting for a tight fit.
Press the Canister Vacuum button or the Vacuum & Seal button, depending on your model. The machine will stop when all the air has been removed.
Remove the accessory hose and remove the latches from the canister lid. Check the seal; if the lid does not move when you pull it, it is properly sealed.
Store the meat in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes. To open, push the gray button on the lid or turn the knob to "open," depending on your model.

Leaders Commission Todd Bentley at 'Lakeland Outpouring' The special service was billed by leaders as one of the greatest moments in revival history [04.24.08] Canadian revivalist Todd Bentley, leader of the "Lakeland Outpouring," was commissioned as an evangelist last night in a special ceremony in Lakeland, Fla., that was broadcast into millions of homes by God TV.
California pastors Ché Ahn and Bill Johnson, along with Canadian pastor John Arnott, laid hands on the 32-year-old Bentley while Peter Wagner, leader of the International Coalition of Apostles, read a statement about the need for apostolic alignment. Other prominent leaders from the apostolic and prophetic movements stood on the platform to show their support for Bentley and to endorse the revival, which began in early April and is now in its 83rd day of continuous meetings.
The ceremony, held in a 10,000-seat tent, took place after some charismatic leaders raised questions about Bentley's claims, methods and theology. They asked Wagner to oversee a dialogue, and he responded by organizing Monday evening's event so that Bentley could have more accountability—or what Wagner calls "apostolic alignment."
"I believe last night was truly historic and a true sign of unity," Bentley told Charisma today. "Many streams converged and I know last night's commissioning will truly help bring God's outpouring to a much larger part of the body."
Participating leaders at the ceremony included Wagner; Ché Ahn, pastor of Harvest Rock Church in Pasadena, Calif.; John Arnott of Toronto Airport Christian Fellowship in Canada; Bill Johnson, pastor of Bethel Church in Redding, Calif.; and Rick Joyner, founder of MorningStar Ministries in Charlotte, N.C.
Wagner said to Bentley on the platform: "This commissioning represents a powerful spiritual transaction taking place in the invisible world. With this in mind, I take the apostolic authority that God has given me and I decree to Todd Bentley, your power will increase, your authority will increase, your favor will increase, your influence will increase, your revelation will increase.
"I also decree that a new supernatural strength will flow through this ministry. A new life force will penetrate this move of God. Government will be established to set things in their proper order. God will pour out a higher level of discernment to distinguish truth from error. New relationships will surface to open the gates to the future."
In a newsletter released earlier this week, Bentley said Wagner was the one who suggested having an official ceremony in which Bentley could be commissioned.
"I am no church historian, but I do not know of any other time in history, since the book of Acts, have so many different apostles and so many different prophets and movements and leaders [been represented]," Bentley said of the capacity crowd. "This is so much bigger than [anything else] ever before. The devil is shaking in his boots because the apostles are gathering and the prophets are gathering."
Though the outpouring has enjoyed mostly favorable publicity and is stirring excitement in charismatic congregations worldwide, it has also spawned a debate among leaders dialoguing behind closed doors. These backroom discussions over aspects of Bentley's teachings were partly what prompted leaders to lay their hands on him last night.

If you have been in any sort of accident, you will find that there are a lot of ways in which you can proceed. How do you ensure that you have a way forward? Are there options that work well? And do you need to get legal help to sort things out? If you're trying to make sense of your situation, going to a law firm like The Perecman Firm is going to be a great way to ensure that you have a way forward.
More often than not, you will notice that there are a lot of different ways in which you can proceed. Sometimes, insurance is willing to work with you in order to sort out details. You can talk to them about the things that need to be sorted out and, on top of that, they can help you to get what you need. If the insurance isn't working the way that you believe that it should, then you want to go ahead and talk to your lawyer about potentially putting in some sort of lawsuit or going through other legal processes.
Look at what you can sort out and see what your lawyer recommends. Many times, you will be able to learn about the way that you can move forward and get the help that you need in order to get the results you deserve. Take the time to really learn as much as you can and to be ahead of the game. You can figure out a lot of details and know that you'll be taken care of in the best way possible, no matter what comes that way. When all is said and done, you will see results and know that you can get ahead of everything that is out there.

They say that the longest distance in the world is that between a man's head and his heart. Put another way, it takes a big man to be able to determine his feelings and reconcile them with the facts.
Talk to most married women about how often her husband tells her that he loves her, and you'll likely get a nod of appreciation. "When it comes to rugby or man's stuff he's all talk and yet the only time he's able to talk about us is when he wants something", is a common take on this.
For guys especially, it's almost like the facts fight with our feelings, and faith seems to come a very distant third.
Women struggle with this all too, but it's more often the other way around. Facts get in the way of feelings. An example of this may be, "I love the guy but I know he's not good for me".
Maturity in this area does not happen automatically with time, but it does take time to work our selves out. The school of hard knocks helps us to understand that for guys, it is possible to have feelings, and fess up to them, and for girls, that it is possible to engage brain before launching themselves down a path of emotional heartbreak.
As with most life issues, the core of the problem is pride. Men generally like to look cool and to be in control so allowing pesky little things like feelings into the equation can be threatening to us "proudies".
It's not all doom and gloom though however. When passion, clearly a primary driver of the Samoan people, is mixed with a strong physique, we have rugby players of international envy. Give a Samoan a rugby ball and say, "Go!" and it needs a world class athlete to stop him. Likewise when it comes to support for anything Samoan . . . the passion is unequalled.
A lot of the gossip that occurs in Samoa is caused from feelings too. Envy, insecurity, selfishness and more all feed the trait that to be quite honest, Samoa should be ashamed of. Simply engaging our brain before telling tales or exercising the tongue in idle gossip would solve no end of grief for people who end up on the end of it, and who are in turn labelled as gossips or troublemakers. I know this all too well from personal experience being the ongoing target of unwelcome gossip myself.
The Samoan guy who punched me up let his feelings of rage get the better of his better judgement. He later tried to apologise but the damage had been done, and the consequences will no doubt haunt him for the rest of his life. When things get a little heated, facts such as possible shame or prison time can be inconvenient.
Again the solution is very simple, even if not easy. It is humility. Like the Good Book says, it's when we "come down" a little and humble ourselves, rather than putting ourselves above others, we balance the facts and feelings and conduct ourselves in a little more godly manner.
Taking the subject still further, it is when we mix these two things (facts and feelings) together with a measure of faith that we begin to move mountains. Like Christ did so well, establishing facts (that He was the Son of God), with the feelings (such as love and compassion) that gave Him the drive with faith that He had a mission and purpose (a sacrificial Saviour)
Inevitably magic happens when we can properly divine the trio of facts, feelings and faith.

Q+A with Shawntelle Madison (Repossessed)
EJ: When did you begin writing?
Shawntelle: I started writing in middle school, but I didn't really get serious until 2008 after college and having kids. I was far too busy in college to write.
EJ: What brought you to the paranormal genre?
Shawntelle: I've always loved sci-fi/fantasy so it was only nature to write in that genre. I read a great deal of science fiction in high school from the classics to the recent fiction at the time.
EJ: If you could be any paranormal or have any one supernatural talent, what would it be? Why?
Shawntelle: If I could chose one, I'd say werewolves. I love writing about them. There is just something really sexy about a primal beast lurking under a man's skin. Unlike a vampire who pretty much wants to drain your blood. That's not very sexy.
EJ: Tell us why readers will enjoy your new release.
Shawntelle: My next release will be next month on January 20th. Repossessed is a novel in the universe of my Coveted series. It's about a witch matchmaker and a warlock repo man. She runs into problems with her business and she needs to ride along with Rob on his repo missions. She gets mixed up with the bad guys Rob faces.
I had so much fun writing this book. After writing a hoarder werewolf, there was no direction to go except a warlock repo man, a leprechaun pimp, and a talking satchel. And that is just a pinch of fun I tossed into that book. If you like fun paranormal romance, my books are for you.
EJ: If your book(s) were being made into a movie, who would you cast for the leading roles? Why?
Shawntelle: I love this question!
Natalya-Megan Fox (I had originally pictured a young Joanne Whalley)
Thorn-Wilson Bethel (From Hart of Dixie) or maybe Channing Tatum
Aggie-Deborah Ann Woll (True Blood)
From Repossessed:
Rob Shin - Rain (He was in Ninja Assassin)
Tessa - Jessica Alba
Repossessed (Warlock Repo Man Chronicles #1) by Shawntelle Madison.
Supernatural matchmaker Tessa Dandridge knows a little mist here and a little magic there will help reckless werewolves and precocious pixies find love. That is, until her magical Smythe scroll is lost in her repo'ed car and she can't contact her V.I.P. clients. To connect with an important client cavorting in the fifth dimension, Tessa must depend on handsome Rob Shin, a warlock repo man, to enter Limbo and find her Smythe scroll.
Rob has money problems of his own, thanks to the bank determined to foreclose on his elderly aunt and uncle's home. Repossessing magic wands and cursed pianos from disgruntled warlocks isn't the best pay, but the Navy SEAL works well as a repo man to pay off his family's debts. Rob's repossession jobs catch up with him when a powerful warlock seeks to end his life for his constant meddling, drawing Tessa in the middle.
Release Date: January 20, 2014

I don't think this is what most people would consider "art deco." It's much too sloppy with errant brush strokes and paint runs. But the colours make me think of art deco. I love how bold they are.
I don't know why i feel the need to classify or label different paintings? In my last post i wondered if my painting was "abstract expression?" I looked up that label and it said something about being anarchic, which isn't a feeling i had about those paintings. So i was probably wrong calling them abstract expression.
Joy to the World!

- Go Back
With its calming play on blues and grays and its beautifully elegant patterned design, the Chalet curtain lives up to its name, helping to impart an atmosphere of restful sophistication to any room. If you are looking for a warm design that helps your patients feel at home, look no further. Like any of our other hospital curtains, the Chalet design is built to last in institutional settings, so you can count on it to provide you with service through cleaning after cleaning.
H2: Fabric Features
All Healthcare Curtains fabrics are built to pass NFPA 701 small scale fire retardant testing, and the Chalet is no exception. As one of our top of the line fabrics, it is also built with an antimicrobial coating that makes it safe for use in any area. Other features:
- Mesh venting available for sprinkler system compliance
- Dyed in color, woven fabric
- 100% FR polyester
- Vertical repeat is 20.8"
- Horizontal is 18.9"
- Great for draperies, bedspreads, cornices, patient rooms, and cubicle curtains
New curtains often mean that new drapery infrastructure is being built. If you're buying for a new installation, don't forget that you'll also need tracks for your new curtains. Healthcare Curtains provides a great selection of customizable tracks that work with all our curtains. Check them out today.
We recommend the following:
- Use actual floor to ceiling height: Deductions take place during fabrication. A standard 1' deduction will be taken off from the curtain whether you order with mesh or not. For example if you have an 8' ceiling you will receive a 7' curtain. Do not give us the actual curtain length desired because you will receive a curtain that is too short. If you have questions please call us and we will be happy to help.
- Add 2 feet to width of curtains. To add fullness to the curtains, we recommend adding 2 feet to the width. For curved tracks, you may need to add more.
Our curtains are available without mesh to meet the fire code standards for sprinkler penetration or with mesh (on solid fabric only). All curtains feature nickel-plated grommets set 6 inches apart. Curtains with mesh have a 20 inch mesh portion. This means that a curtain 96 inches long will have 20 inches of mesh and 76 inches of fabric.
2 – 3 weeks
Because all of our privacy curtains are made to order, there is a two to three week lead time for each order. This lead time may be longer if the chosen fabric is currently out of stock. Our team will inform you as soon as possible if the lead time requires an extension.

Family Law
Is there anything that matters more to you than child custody?
Child custody is often the central issue in any divorce or legal separation. To one party or both, this legal issue may be more important than any other issue, including financial assets. In hotly contested child custody legal cases, there is no middle ground. Both parties are unwilling to cooperate in any way. There is only one conclusion: a court application and possibly a trial on this issue.
The better alternative is to have both parties work out a fair, reasonable and flexible child custody agreement that is in the best interest of the children involved and is mutually acceptable to both spouses. Jonathan Healey, the Principal of Healey Law, welcomes the opportunity to answer your questions about family law, parent rights and child custody. For example, you could ask about fathers rights, mother rights, joint child custody and child custody agreements.
"Developing a Child Custody Agreement takes patience, a lot of discussion and a full understanding of father's rights and mother's rights," explains Mr. Healey. "There are a lot of things to consider in a Child Custody case, ranging from work schedules and vacations to school schedules and after school activities. But it is well worth the effort for everyone involved."
Quick facts about child custody agreements
Definition of custody – An individual with custody is responsible for the care of a child. Both fathers and mothers have child custody rights under the law.
Who gets custody? - Courts strive to do what is in the best interest of a child.
Responsibilities – The individual who is granted custody or primary care gets to make decisions about:
- Day-to-day activities
- Schooling
- Medical care
- Religion
Joint custody – When both parents are involved in the life of a child and make key decisions together, they have joint custody.
Key issues – Judges are particularly interested in knowing who cared for the child previously, the relationship between the care giver and the child, and what the person seeking custody plans to do if he or she is granted care of the child.
Home studies – When judges need more information about the child and the individual(s) seeking custody, they often order a Home Study, typically completed by a social worker, child psychologist or another individual appointed by the Court.
Children have a voice – Judges will consider the wishes of children if they are old enough and mature enough to express an opinion.
Applying for custody – You don't have to be a parent to apply for custody. Anyone who has acted as a parent can apply for guardianship and custody.
Access rights – The party who does not have custody can spend time with the child and has the right to be informed about key decisions, but does not have the right to make decisions.
Family Law Services
Why is it risky to buy or sell a property without the help of a lawyer?
A lawyer has the training and experience required to protect your interests throughout the transaction. Do the transaction on your own and you may miss a hidden liability that could become a big problem after the transaction is complete. In addition, your lawyer ensures that all the necessary documentation is completed properly. That's important because just one mistake could be difficult – and costly – to correct after the transaction is complete.

Together with Breathing Exercises to strengthen your Diaphragm, Core and Pelvic Floor; weight training is some of the best exercise you can do while pregnant, as long as you have medical clearance to exercise.
The goal is to strengthen the muscles that will support your growing bump, and also to maintain as much muscle mass as possible, to make your postpartum recovery easier.
In this 3-part article, I will discuss some of the exercises that you will find in out fitness programs, and why we do them.
The first exercise that we will look at, is the Squat. The Squat is a staple in our fitness programs both for during and after Pregnancy.
Why do we Squat?
Ina May Gaskin, the so-called 'mother of authentic midwifery' and author of Ina May's Guide to Childbirth, is credited with saying:
"Squat 300 times a day, you're going to give birth quickly."
No-one can promise you an easy or quick birth, your birth will be what it will be, but you can still prepare yourself as well as possible, not only for the birth, but for the pregnancy and postpartum recovery, and for doing life with a rapidly growing baby.
Benefits of Squatting
- Squats help to strengthen your lower body, specifically your glutes, hamstrings, lower back and quads, and maintain mobility in your hips so that you can achieve the squat positions that will help you cope with contractions during labor.
- Squats will strengthen your glutes, which will help to stabilise the pelvis and reduce the experience of lower back pain. The glutes easily become inactive during pregnancy due to body posture, so squatting can help keep them activated and keep your bum looking good!
- Squats help to maintain balance and coordination as your center of gravity shifts with your expanding belly.
- Squats are a low-impact exercise that will elevate your heart rate and keep your cardiovascular system strong.
- Squats can help increase pelvic floor muscle strength.
- Squats engage your core, helping you strengthen your core without crunches and sit-ups, which you no longer want to be doing during pregnancy.
Types of Squats
There are many different ways to squat, below are some of the Squats you can expect to do in the Pregnancy and Postpartum Fitness program:
Air Squat
This is a squat where you use your own body weight and perform a squat. Focus on moving through full range of motion while using your arms out in front for balance. If you are accustomed to squatting, aim for a squat that breaks parallel. If you are not accustomed to squatting, aim to squat at least to parallel.
Box Squats
Box Squats are a great exercise to engage and activate your glutes. The are also very safe because you are supported by the box. You can also use a chair at home if you don't have a box. You can start this exercise with just your own body weight, and progress to adding weight, either a barbell, or dumbells or even a Kettlebell, once you feel able.
Goblet Squat
In this squat you hold a kettlebell or dumbbell or a medicine ball in front you and focus on keeping your chest up.
Barbell Back Squat
Here, the barbell rests on your shoulders and upper back, while you perform a squat. Progressively increasing load here can help strengthen your lower body and lower back for the increased load you will carry as your bump grows.
Squat Technique
- Keep your feet about hip with apart or slightly wider
- Keep toes turned slightly out
- As you start your squat, sit back as if you are going to sit in a chair, keep your heels on the floor
- Check that your knees remain across your toes, don't allow your knees the cave in
In Part 2 of this series we will look at the humble deadlift as a great pregnancy and postpartum exercise option.

What is Medicare Supplement Insurance?
Purchasing Medicare Supplement (or Medigap) insurance can help you pay for some of the costs Medicare alone cannot cover, including copays, coinsurance, and deductibles. If you have Medicare and you choose to purchase a Medigap policy, Medicare will still cover your pre-approved amount for relevant care costs.
Keep in mind that a Medigap policy is a bit different from a Medicare Advantage Plan. Those plans were designed to help people receive Medicare benefits, while a Medigap policy can only be used to supplement Medicare benefits you are already receiving.
What you need to know:
- Medigap purchasers need to have Medicare Part A and Part B.
- If you already have an Advantage Plan, you are free to switch to a Medicare Supplement policy. However, make sure you are allowed to leave the Advantage Plan before the supplemental policy starts.
- The Medicare Supplement Insurance policy will need to be paid for monthly in addition to your monthly Medicare Part B premium.
- Medigap policies cover only one person. If your spouse wishes to have a policy as well, you'll need to purchase an additional one.
- Medicare Supplement insurance policies can be purchased from any licensed insurance company in your state.
- All standardized Medicare Supplement policies are guaranteed to be renewable, even for those with health problems. As long as you pay your premium, the insurance company cannot cancel your supplemental policy.
- Any Medicare Supplement insurance sold after January 1, 2006 cannot include prescription drug coverage.
- It is illegal for anyone to sell you a Medigap policy if you are already have a Medicare Advantage plan, unless you are reverting to traditional Medicare.
Get in touch with our team at Agency for Retired, Elderly & Disabled today to learn how we can help set you up for Medigap insurance.

by Amanda Rollins, Japanese Language Program Coordinator
In February, the Modern Language Association (MLA) published a report titled "Enrollments in Languages Other Than English in United States Institutions of Higher Education, Fall 2013." This report, published about every four years, researches the number of enrollments in world language courses in American colleges and universities. The survey resembles a census in that MLA attempts to survey every single college or university which offers world language courses in the United States. This year MLA surveyed 2,435 schools.
Overall, higher education language enrollments in the US decreased by 6.7% since 2009. Spanish enrollments decreased for the first time since the original MLA survey in 1958. Both French and Spanish, the languages with historically the most enrollments, decreased by about 8%, and German and Italian also decreased by 9.3% and 11.3% respectively. Within the top 15 languages, only 4 languages reported an increase in enrollment: American Sign Language (19%), Chinese (2%), Portuguese (10.1%), and Korean (44.7%).
Experiencing the first decrease since 1998, enrollments in Japanese language courses decreased by 7.8%. Between 2009 and 2013, 47.6% of colleges which offer Japanese experienced stable or increased enrollment in those courses while the other half experienced decreased enrollment. Since 2009, Japanese remains in the same rank among languages (#6) and maintains the same percentage of enrollments as a whole (4.3%).
Other interesting statistics show that 29% of colleges which offer foreign language offer Japanese (for a total of 706 institutions in 2013), and 25.6% more bachelor's degrees in Japanese were awarded in 2013 than in 2009.
The full report can be found here and a database of schools which answered the survey can be found here.

TPR 2018 Tours - Limited Spots Open - Apply Now!Accepting Applications for Japan & USA 2018 Trips
Users viewing this topic: No registered users and 1 guest
Discuss theme parks, roller coasters, and mules!
TPR 2018 Tours - Limited Spots Open - Apply Now!
Once you have read this entire post, and you are SERIOUSLY INTERESTED in a TPR Tour (seriously interested meaning you would be ready to send in a deposit as soon as your application is accepted) then send an email to: firstname.lastname@example.com requesting the application.
I cannot stress enough to only email if you are SERIOUSLY INTERESTED in a TPR Tour.
That being said...
As many of you may know, TPR hosted theme park tours for 10+ years but stopped publicly hosting them a few years ago for a variety of reasons, mainly due to the behavior and attitude of the participants as it was creating stress levels for us and for other trip participants that we no longer could tolerate. If you don't know what we are talking about, this thread will give you an example of some of the stress we want to avoid.
While we may have stopped doing public tours, we have not stopped doing tours completely because we actually really enjoy putting on tours, but have done them "private, invite only" for the past few years. In 2017 we quietly opened up about ten spots to new people and that actually worked extremely well! So this year, we are going to try opening that up a little bit more and hope that doesn't end up being a mistake!
At the moment, we have 4-6 spots open for our Japan trip in June and 6-8 spots for our USA Trip in late July/early August. As a "test" we are going to allow new people to apply for one of those open spots.
We are looking for enthusiastic, well-behaved, appreciative people who can get along well with others, are drama-free, have respect and trust for the tour leaders, and not complain about every little thing that happens on the tour if things don't happen to fit your own personal preferences. After all, you're on a theme park tour and not at work, right? Vacations are meant to be fun!
If you consider yourself "high maintenance" or a "complainer" you probably would not be a good fit for a TPR trip.
1. Emailing us and submitting the application does NOT immediately mean you are on the invite list. We only have a handful of spots open and we need to fill them with the people we think will be the best fit for the tour. If you are not selected for this tour that does not mean you won't be considered for a future tour.
2. Only email us asking for the application if you are *SERIOUSLY INTERESTED* in the tour. It is expected that if you are selected to be on the invite list, you will immediately send in a deposit for the tour. Tour deposits will be between $200 - $400 depending on the tour. If you fill out the application, and then decide to back out after being selected, you will NOT be invited to fill out the application for future tours.
3. We are unable to "part out" any days of the trip or have you "meet-up" if you only want to join for a day or two. This creates a crazy amount of work and hassle for us and it's just not something we will do anymore. Sorry, this is the entire tour or nothing.
4. You MUST be over 18 years of age to join a tour on your own. Anyone under 18 MUST be accompanied by an adult on the entire tour.
So to summarize:
"If you fill out the application, and are selected to be on a tour, you are expected to submit your deposit immediately.
Tour information - Final prices and itineraries will be available when you request the application. Our tours are in the $2800 - $4000 range.(based on double occupancy in rooms, there is a single supplement option at an additional cost.) Yes, our tours are higher priced than others you may see, but we feel we also offer a higher-end product than anyone else doing theme park/roller coaster trips.
For example, we are staying on property at Hotel Breakers next to Cedar Point for three nights during our USA tour. We will get front of the line passes at all parks that offer them. We will rent out rides at certain parks just for our group. We go to higher end restaurants and many meals are included. We are staying on property at both Disney and Universal during our Japan trip, etc. Our tours are limited to only 25-40 people so there is plenty of room on the bus, train, etc. Our prices are very reasonable compared to other higher-end excursions. In short, you get what you pay for and in the case of TPR, a higher-end vacation. Most people come away from our trips saying they had to spend very little money outside the cost of the actual trip.
Japan Trip
15 Nights - June 15 - July 1
Ground transportation included by bus, trains, and taxis. (You are on your own for airfare to/from the starting and ending points)
14 Day Rail Pass Included.
At least one meal per day.
Base camps in three different cities (Tokyo, Osaka, Nagoya) including resort stay at Universal and Disney!
Parks included:
- Tokyo Disney
- Fuji Q
- Universal Osaka
- Nagashima Spaland
- Parque Espana
- New Reoma World
- Washuzan Highland
- Misaki Park
- Adventure World
- Benyland
- Lina World
- Hirakata
- Legoland Nagoya
- Hamanako Pal Pal
- Lagunasia
- More parks may be added to the itinerary!
Non-Park Activity Options during Free Time: Castles, Shrines, Food, Museums, other parks, Zoo's, Shopping, etc.
USA Trip
Late July/Early August
10-12 Nights
Ground Transportation included (You are on your own for airfare to/from the starting and ending points)
Parks Included:
- Six Flags Over Georgia
- Carowinds
- Kings Dominion
- Busch Gardens Williamsburg
- Hersheypark
- Knoebels
- Cedar Point (with three night stay ON PROPERY)
- More parks may also be added to the itinerary
Two meals per day!
Fastpass options at all parks that offer it!
More perks may include behind the scenes tours and ERT!
Once again, if you are SERIOUSLY INTERESTED in one of these trips, and would be ready to send in a deposit between $250 - $400 depending on the trip, then send an email to: firstname.lastname@example.com and request a 2018 TPR Trips Application.
Thank you and we hope this test works out! We've had a lot of people ask us about TPR Tours and we feel this the best compromise for satisfying some of those requests while at the same time keeping our sanity!
Thank you everyone!

Re: TPR 2018 Tours - Limited Spots Open - Apply Now!
Glad to hear you guys are back at it. I would definitely consider this as a future option. Both trips seem like solid (re)starts.
Re: TPR 2018 Tours - Limited Spots Open - Apply Now!
Well, to be honest, we never really stopped, we just were more "cautious" on who we invited on our trips. Like I said above, I'm hoping this way of adding new people to the tours doesn't turn out to be a mistake, and if it does, we'll just go back to doing our own tours and only telling the people we want to about them!
Re: TPR 2018 Tours - Limited Spots Open - Apply Now!
First off, I would like to say THANK YOU!! I have been a long time member (another screen name takes me back to at least 2007) and I have LONGED to go on one of the big TPR Tours! My wife knows how bad I've wanted to and she told me I should do it! Now reading this post, I see why I haven't heard anything about the tours! I hate how one can ruin it for many and in this case, a fair amount can ruin it for A LOT!! Now this isn't to say that I can't go on this tour because financially, I can, but taking the days off for me is a problem.
Robb & Elissa, you both have done an amazing job with all this and when I see TR from all the tours, I am amazed at what you can do! It's hard to even fathom how people can find something to complain about!! Sure, sometimes there is weather related issues, or maybe a transportation snafu, which ANYONE, would complain about but not much else could be!
Please see this post as, hopefully, a pre-approval application. I am the kind of enthusiast that you would love to have around! It kills me to see that there were nasty people there instead of me, and that you had to put up with them. So when the time comes, I hope I can get approved on one of your tours when I apply!
Keep doin what you do so well,
Re: TPR 2018 Tours - Limited Spots Open - Apply Now!
We've actually had both of these happen on our trip, and instead of people being PATIENT about whatever the issue is, they actually would come to up with endless bitching and complaining as though it's our fault. I actually said to a person once "I cannot control the weather. Seriously, if you are going to sit here and complain to me that being at a beautiful theme park (We were at Tokyo Disneyland), even in bad weather is still worse than sitting at your day-job, then you shouldn't be on our trip." I think at that point they just stopped talking, turned around and left.
Send us an email and we'll see how it goes!
Re: TPR 2018 Tours - Limited Spots Open - Apply Now!
I'm sorry... just plain ignorant!! I would (not literally) KILL to be at a park, drenched, than be at my day job! I drive transit for the Bay Area and have to worry about people complaining about things that are out of my control! I 100% understand you when I have to say, "I can't control the traffic!! If I'm late, then I'm LATE!"
Forgot to ask, but will these be the only 2 tours for the year?
Re: TPR 2018 Tours - Limited Spots Open - Apply Now!
Yes, that is all we are doing this year.
Re: TPR 2018 Tours - Limited Spots Open - Apply Now!
Well damn... Might have to work some magic to get on the US tour at least!
Re: TPR 2018 Tours - Limited Spots Open - Apply Now!
We have limited vacation time and we're saving up for a wedding, so unfortunately a TPR tour isn't in the cards for us right now but we'd love to get on one of these one day. Going on a TPR trip to Japan and then adding a few days before or after the trip for Brit and I to do some cultural stuff and explore on our own sounds like an amazing bucket list trip and hopefully one day we can make it happen.
That said, these both sound like great trips. Have fun, and good luck with this "experiment".
Re: TPR 2018 Tours - Limited Spots Open - Apply Now!
And this is exactly how we are positioning the trips now. No more "death marches" or "credit whoring" like we used to do. More relaxing trips focusing on better parks with some time during the trip for people to explore when we go places like Japan, and we also encourage people to add on days to a trip, especially to further away destinations to see even more sights outside of theme parks & roller coasters.
Return to Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!

Saturday, 9 June 2012
With reasonable weather forecast for today, I arrived at Reculver this morning just before six a.m. .The sun was shining and Marc and myself were joined in our stroll to Cold Harbour and back by Julian Perry. Expectations were not that great but there were a few pleasant surprises .The Oyster Farm held Oystercatcher, Tufted Duck, Mallard and Shelduck. Three Mediterranean Gulls added to my year list and a bonus came in the form of a BLACK -TAILED GODWIT,which is a very tricky bird to get and was the first of the year for the recording area.The lonely Eider was again in its usual place although a little closer in to shore. A short coffee break at Cold Harbour allowed us to add Common and Sandwich Tern and a fairly uneventful walk back to the Towers was enlivened by 2 Cuckoos and an obliging Yellow Wagtail more intent on its breakfast than us, allowing some photographs.With Marc on a tight schedule we popped into Brook and a few pictures of Common Blue Damoseille were taken. The only addition to the notebook was Sand Martin .

55 Things I Want To Do Before I Die
Let's cross these off the bucket list.
Let's cross these off the bucket list.
The process is the biggest hangup I see most people have.
3. Understand that you need a game plan that is specific.
Most people stop short of extraordinary because they leave out the details.
Henry Ford is an enigma to most people today.
I have changed my literary catalog a couple of times over the years and I still cannot say I am completely satisfied.
It isn't much to be 25. some people tell you that you are young, others look at you as an adult. No one is necessarily looking at you with jealousy. Twenty-five is the same distance from birth as it is to early retirement. Now what?
Food is a medium that transmits culture, belief systems, politics, health, and human connection. It is no wonder that the millennial generation chose food as the topic to freak out over.
Explorers have always held a special place on my bookshelf because of what they represent: independence, defiance, confidence, curiosity, political savvy, strategy, and imagination.
Everyone has a story to tell. It is better to listen to others than to reveal your own.

"Do you have a bird in your bag?", asked the US Customs officer at Newark Airport. Was he kidding me? Apparently not as this was at the height of the bird flu in early 2006 and indeed, the officers were concerned about the smuggling in of live contraband. What they did catch in my suitcase was a whole stash of lap cheong (Chinese sausages), freshly grated coconut, pandan leaves, daun limau purut (kaffir lime leaves), buah keluak and of course, bak kwa (Chinese barbecued pork). The officers inspected and confiscated everything, I was admonished and in the midst of the whole public spectacle, my brand new suitcase was stolen.
I had got away unscathed for years, blatantly bringing in my fresh goods and my favorite snacks with much aplomb. I became bolder and bolder until the bomb dropped on me that moment in 2006. Since then, I have been more careful, meekly packing Maggie noodles or shelf-stable chili sauces and air mailing buah keluak to circumvent the imposing Food X Ray machine.
On my recent return from Singapore this past weekend, I was inundated with requests to bring something back to NY for friends and family. You would think that I would be wiser than to say yes in this age of terrorism. But I obliged my sisters on behalf of my nieces, and agreed to a tit-for-tat for a friend who had previously carried back a cookbook for me. And of course, they had all requested that I carry in bak kwa as well as packs of pork floss. For a moment, I forgot that bak kwa fell into the category of forbidden foods. The US Customs is infamous throughout the world for its strict agriculture policies. The beagles rush to the carousel to greet the suitcases coming in from Italy, filled with sausages and truffles. A family friend always talks about the home-made kueh chang she gorged on the spot because the officers intended to toss them out. Or for that matter, the friends who wanted to die when their expensive vintage wines were taken away (but for a different reason, more to do with the liquid limitations).
So this time, I got away with bak kwa, and lots of it. I bought some........how could I not treat myself when I was carrying all this special delicacy for others? One bite and it made all the justification. Bak kwa happens to be one of the most missed food items for overseas Singaporeans. Sweet, sticky, greasy, succulent, meaty, just plain delicious, Yes, we may argue about its provenance - Lim Joo Guan, Bee Cheng Hiang, Kim Joo Guan, Bee Chun Heng - but a good chew is worth all that danger of getting caught by US Customs. It's a good fix associated with Chinese New Year, shopping malls, Chinatown, family and home.

Dunmow's recycling centre is pulled
PUBLISHED: 10:20 30 September 2010 | UPDATED: 10:20 30 September 2010
A WASTE recycling centre for public use in Great Dunmow has been pulled after a council admitted that it does not have the cash to continue with the project.
But nearby residents will still have to put up with other town's rubbish travelling past their doors after it was announced that a bulking and transfer station will still go ahead.
The entire centre was earmarked for the Hoblongs Estate next to the Travelodge hotel and was also due to include vital road improvements and a household recycling centre - but those aspects have been binned.
Essex County Council Cabinet Member for Environment and Waste Tracey Chapman said: "Current financial circumstances mean we can no longer justify a new waste and recycling centre in Dunmow.
"This decision was based on the fact that we already have exceptional waste and recycling rates in Uttlesford and there are two nearby centres for householders to recycle their waste, including a brand new site at Springwood Drive in Braintree.
"Essex County Council remains fully committed to working in partnership with Uttlesford District Council to increase recycling rates in Uttlesford.
"Despite this decision, a proposal to develop a transfer station on the Chelmsford Road site in Dunmow will proceed, as this is integral to the delivery of improved services for the people of Uttlesford.
"This will enable residual waste and separately collected food waste services to be operated more efficiently, reducing cost and unnecessary vehicle movements."
The decision was taken jointly between Uttlesford District Council and ECC and is likely to upset many residents who currently have to travel to Braintree, Shalford or Saffron Walden to dispose of waste.
ECC said that significant has recently been put in at Springwood Drive in Braintree, and that centre has the capacity to accommodate users from the Dunmow area.
In addition ECC in partnership with UDC has over the last few years invested in expanding the kerbside recycling service within the district.
Chairman of UDC's environment committee Susan Barker said: "I know that some local residents will be disappointed, but in the current economic climate we do understand the county's decision.
"We are committed to recycling and we have two very good nearby recycling centre's for household waste and an excellent kerbside recycling service."

Instead of creating a Human Peace Sign this year, WR Nonviolence will be holding a "Supplemental" Discussion Night — supplementary to our regular meetings.
We'll meet at the Coffee Culture coffee shop in the Walper Hotel at the corner of King Street and Queen Street in downtown Kitchener. Map
Discussion will be wide-ranging: How can we implement a Personal Peace? How can we implement Global Peace? What can we do to overcome the obstructions that prevent Peace?
If time permits, we may form a Human Peace Sign to commemorate the International Day of Peace.

Person-Centred Therapy: Myths and Realities
by Professor Mick Cooper
Myth: Person-centred therapy is "just the basics" – everyone does it, it's just that some therapists go on to do more advanced things, like psychodynamic therapy or cognitive-behavioural therapy.
Reality: Developing one's capacity to engage with another human being at a level of interpersonal depth is a life-time's achievement. Few "purely" person-centred therapists, even after many years, would claim that they have reached the end of that road, so the chances of getting there after a few years' study are pretty remote. Moreover, skills and ideas from other therapeutic approaches – like psychodynamic therapy or cognitive-behavioural therapy – can't just be "dumped" on top of a person-centred foundation: they need careful integration. Finally, whilst it's true that the skills and ideas associated with person-centred therapy can be taught at a fairly basic and accessible level, the roots of the approach dig down into some far more complex ideas. Understanding the person-centred approach, then, can involve engaging with the ideas of such philosophers as Martin Buber and Edmund Husserl, as well as the complex psychological processes that Carl Rogers, the founder of the approach, outlined in his theory of therapy, personality and interpersonal relationships (see here).
Myth: There's no evidence that person-centred therapy works.
Reality: Rogers was one of the first people to systematically study the therapeutic process, and his hypotheses about the necessary and sufficient conditions for therapeutic personality change were firmly grounded in the empirical data. Today, more than ever, there is compelling evidence that person-centred therapy is effective with a whole host of psychological difficulties (see Elliott et al, here); and that relational factors – such as empathy, unconditional positive regard and congruence—are central to the process of therapeutic change (see here). (For more discussion of the evidence base, see my previous blog here).
Myth: Person-Centred therapy doesn't have a model of psychopathology.
Reality: It's certainly true that person-centred therapists try to see their clients, first and foremost, as unique individuals, and not as representatives of a particular label; and it's also true to say that person-centred therapists are as interested in their clients' potentialities as they are in their problems. But, in recent years, numerous therapists within the person-centred field have attempted to understand severe psychological distress from a humanistic perspective (see here). For instance, there is the work of Margaret Warner on "difficult" and "fragile" psychological processes; Elke Lambers' accounts of psychosis, neurosis, and personality disorders; and Gary Prouty's work on "pre-therapy" with schizophrenic and other "contact-impaired" clients.
Myth: Person-centred therapy is one, particular approach to therapy.
Reality: Both within and outside of the person-centred field, many people do not realise the sheer scope of, and diversity within, this approach. At one end of the spectrum, for instance, are those "classical client-centred therapists" who put great emphasis on not directing the client in any way; whilst there are others who put much more emphasis on entering into a dialogue with the client, and acknowledging that the client may be influenced by the therapist (and vice versa) in numerous ways. Then there are those in the closely related field of the "process-experiential therapies", who will actively invite their clients to process their experiences in particular ways (whilst not attempting to direct the content of those experiences). There are also arts-based approaches to person-centred therapy, the aforementioned person-centred approaches to working with 'contact-impaired' clients, and approaches which are fundamentally integrative/pluralistic in nature. In fact, these days, many people talk about the "family" of person-centred and experiential therapies, or of the different "tribes" of person-centred therapy, to highlight the diversity of ideas and practices within this field (for a great introduction to the many different tribes, see here).
Myth: Person-centred therapists mustn't ask questions.
Reality: Most person-centred therapists are keen for their clients to take a lead in the therapeutic work, and, for this reason, they will avoid bombarding them with questions. But there are no mustn't's, must's, don't's or should's about person-centred practice, because person-centred therapy is not about behaving in a particular way with clients, but about being a particular type of person with another human being. So, for instance, in attempting to establish an empathic understanding of a client, a person-centred therapist may ask them a question; or they may ask them a question as an expression of their interest in that client's experiences.
Myth: It's not person-centred to challenge clients.
Reality: Person-centred therapists are careful to avoid criticising clients and undermining their sense of self-worth, but it can also be one of the most challenging and direct forms of therapy. In being congruent with a client, for instance, a person-centred therapist may really let that client know how hurt or angry he or she feels towards him or her; or, in being unconditionally accepting of a client, a person-centred therapist may really challenge a client's feelings of low self-worth.
Myth: Being a person-centred therapist means having to like your clients and everything that they do.
Reality: At the heart of a person-centred approach to therapy is the distinction between what a person experiences and the way in which they behave. So, whilst a person-centred therapist would want to unconditionally value everything that their client experiences – whether it's love, jealousy or rage – this doesn't mean that they would unconditionally value every way in which their clients behave. If a client physically threatened another person, for instance, a person-centred therapist might experience feelings of annoyance or anger, and might well communicate to their client that they were doing so. What they would also try and do, though, is to communicate to that client that they also valued the feelings and experiences that underlay those behaviours, and their belief that the client had the potentiality to find more constructive ways of expressing these feelings.

A recent NYT article posed the question "The Free Market: A False Idol After All?" No doubt, progressives and anti-market types joined in one Pavlovian chorus in response. Folks like Fitzsimon and Schofield over at NC Policy Watch like to delude themselves and their readers into believing that we have been living in some sort of pure laissez-faire-lovers paradise ruled by "market fundamentalism" here in the US. "If only government would interfere just a little bit and correct some of the inherent injustices of the capitalist system, we would all be better off" they often lament.
Jeffrey Tucker has a great response to such nonsense. First, this notion that our economy is largely unhampered, and therefore any "failures" in the economy can be blamed on an unfettered free market is simply fantasy.
"We live in the 100th year of a heavily regulated economy; and even 50 years before that, the government was strongly involved in regulating trade.
The planning apparatus established for World War I set wages and prices, monopolized monetary policy in the Federal Reserve, presumed first ownership over all earnings through the income tax, presumed to know how vertically and horizontally integrated businesses ought to be, and prohibited the creation of intergenerational dynasties through the death tax.
Just how draconian the intervention is ebbs and flows from decade to decade, but the reality of the long-term trend is undeniable: more taxes, more regulation, more bureaucracies, more regimentation, more public ownership, and ever less autonomy for private decision-making."
Tucker then attacks what can be narrowed down to either ignorance or outright deceit on the part of journalists and pundits:
"How is it that journalists can continually get away with asserting that the fantasy is true? How can informed writers continue to fob off on us the idea that we live in a laissez-faire world that can only be improved by just a bit of public tinkering?"
Of course, bureaucrats will always long for more intervention because it provides them with more power, and elites will go along with it because they refuse to acknowledge anything less then their omniscient ability to plan and direct society, nevermind their complete denial of the superiority of spontaneous order and localized knowledge. Naturally, most interventionists think that their recommended dose of meddling is just the right amount to "correct" the perceived negative externalities of the market system. To those folks, I say this: Take one look at the massive tax and regulation codes (both US and NC) and try to convince that we need "just a little more intervention" to make everything perfect.

About Us
A little about Leah's Chook shed. We have been breeding our beautiful Heritage Breeds of chickens since 2013. The breeds we have accumulated and am working with, are the breeds that are closest to my heart. Like so many people I thought the world of chickens consisted of ISA Browns and Black Australorps. After a little research, called Google, I found the world of chickens was much more diverse. Heritage Breeds wont lay as many as an ISA brown per week but will still provide you approx 4 or 5 beautiful eggs per week over many more years. With so many varieties and colours, there is something for everyone. They make an amazing addition to your back garden with their stunning plummage and relaxing qualities. We hope you will love them as much as we do.
Initially our prime goal was to sell quality fertile eggs. Selling eggs that are only 24-48 hours old to ensure great hatch rates.
This year as well as continuing to provide quality fertile eggs, we will also be hatching chicks with a goal to provide our customers with cute, healthy and robust little chicks that would grow into stunning hens. As I mentioned earlier, our beautiful birds/breeders have been raised to Australian Poultry Standards so if you are a breeder of any of our breeds, you can buy from us with confidence. Some chookie fanciers have even entered birds or fertile eggs bought from us at Leah's Chook Shed and have gone on to win First, Second and Third places in various Poultry shows. Fantastic feed back which has overwhelmed us that we am going in the right direction but still grounded enough to know the work never ends.
We have been asked so many times about creating a webpage, I thought I would be easiest if we set up a simple page with a few pictures and then build and update whenever time allows. We hope you enjoy looking through our web page and hope you will revisit from time to time to see the updates. Please feel free to contact us with any questions or any feedback.
We will be updating our webpage every few days to show what we have available at the time, to help make it easier for you. Please click on "Current Availability" to check what we have available at the moment.
Thank you for visiting our page and we hope you will visit us again soon. Hope you have an fantastic day. :-)

When asked about the most representative fruit shop in the country, many Japanese will probably mention Shinjuku Takano. With its long-standing reputation starting from 1885, this well-established fruit store is regarded as somewhat of a pioneer in the field of fruit-selling.
One of their current business endeavors, besides the original one, is the expansion of business mainly to the Kanto Region, by opening Takano Fruit Parlors, where customers can savour fine parfaits made with their first-class fruits.

OTTAWA – (June 19, 2018) – A Junction City woman was ordered yesterday to repay more than $1,600 to the Kansas Medicaid program after being found guilty of Medicaid Fraud-related charges, Kansas Attorney General Derek Schmidt said.
Ruby Irene Powell, 41, pleaded no contest in April to one felony count of making a false claim to the Medicaid program. Franklin County District Judge Douglas P. Witteman yesterday ordered the defendant to repay $1,607.27 to the Kansas Medicaid program. Judge Witteman also sentenced Powell to 12 months of probation with an underlying prison sentence of six months. Convictions such as this one may also result in a period during which the defendant is prohibited from being paid wages through a government health care program.
An investigation by the attorney general's Medicaid Fraud and Abuse Division revealed that Powell had billed the Kansas Medicaid program as the personal care attendant for her mother to provide home-based care services. The defendant billed 460 hours for those home-based care services during periods while her mother was out of the home and in the hospital. The crimes occurred between January 2013 and December 2015.
Assistant Attorney General Alma Heckler of Schmidt's office prosecuted the case.
