UPDATE: SORRY FOR THE DELAY (!!!) but a winner has been picked for the Julie Elizabeth giveaway! The winner is SARAH BROOKE KANE! I will email you to get you set-up. HAPPY NEW YEAR!
I'm not normally one for quirky prints. Given my pixie-like stature {ha, that's putting it kindly — more like elfin!..I'm only 5'1}, I avoid anything that might peg me as a child {including Peter Pan collars, plaid kilts, and rompers} with a dead-pan commitment you'll rarely see me display elsewhere — and quirky prints definitely fall into the high risk category. {Kourtney K. looked awesome in this horse-print number, but I promise someone would stop me on the street and ask whether I'd lost my way from the nearest Kindergarten classroom if I attempted the same.} The above notwithstanding, I've fallen hard for the star motif I've been spotting all over the place this past year. First, it paraded its way down the catwalk at D&G:
Please avert your eyes from the fashion tragedy going on towards the bottom-half of the above snaps. Socks with pumps are still an egregious fashion sin, IMO. LMAO. TTYL. LOL. {Sorry for the abbreviation vomit — I was so shocked at myself for using "IMO" that my fingers took control and I ran with it. Seriously, what? Since when do I use "IMO"? I've been working in an office environment too long.} And — back to the beat — of course, backstage at D&G was cluttered with stars:
Then I saw it on my favorite bloggerina, Blair Eadie of Atlantic-Pacific. {Bonus points (!) for the pattern play!}
And, then, on street style favorites Emily Weiss {yes, she was on "The Hills" as the awesome, perfectionist New Yorker who came to help LC with a big event in L.A. — BELOW, as snapped by StyleTao} and this little chic pea caught on Stockholm Street Style:
OK, so clearly, the star print can be elevated to make a refined or even edgy fashion statement. So I'm all aboard for this space tour. For the edgier chic peas out there, consider this cool girl blazer ($130, TopShop), which would look excellent paired with a sparkly statement necklace ($329, Samantha Wills — and don't EVEN get me started about the fabulosity of this new jewelry collection. I want one of everything in her e-boutique), black skinnies, and some fierce tootises (I want these Jimmy Choos like there's nothing else in the universe — on sale for $690, Net-A-Porter):
A little pop o neon is all this downtown chic look needs, and I of course instantly turned to Cambridge Satchel Company for their cross-bodies. Yes, please. This yellow number has my name written all over it ($155, Shopbop):
And — well, maybe a few of these sparkling bangles (Alexis Bittar, $185 apiece, Nordstrom):
Alternately, pair a feminine star-print blouse (Sonia Rykiel, $450, Net-A-Porter) with one of those trendy collar necklaces (Pamela Love, $277, Forward Forward), a full skirt (this style I saw at H&M for only $20! Alternately, check out the entire current Halston Heritage collection, which features a ton of pleated skirts and dresses. Love-leh.), black tights, and black-and-gold flats (Givenchy, $520, Jades24):
I'd finish with a classic quilted bag. Chanel would be preferable, but this Marc Jacobs style is nice and roomy as well ($1,195, Barney's):
Oh, and maybe a pair of delicate star-shape earrings ($45, ByBoe) and a swipe of orange-red lipstick. I live in YSL Rouge Pur Couture #13 ($30, Saks):
If you're really going to gun for the look {and have the $$ to spare}, go for the real McCoy with the floaty D&G gown seen on the runways ($2,497, Net-A-Porter). Perfect with this glittery, star-shaped enorma-studs (Judith Jack, on sale for $148, Zappos):
Finish with some fab pumps — check out this slick Zara pair! ($79, Zara) and a small, structured metallic clutch (Alexander Wang, on super sale for $189, Barney's):
And, PSST. This inexpensive ASOS star-print dress will do in a pinch if you NEED the look but lack the funds. Alternately, check out this galaxy-print dress ($308, Les Nouvelles) with a bold statement necklace ($340, Suzanna Dai):
Perfect with some bold bronze pumps ($640, Intermix) and a star-studded clutch ($270, Kotur):
Or, go for the bold print-play with this striped, fitted number (Bensoni, on sale for $292, LesNouvelles) and a star-print scarf (on sale for $15, Mango):
Finish with simple black pumps ($195, Vince Camuto):
I'd finish with a bold pop of pink/red (Marc by Marc Jacobs, $530, Net-A-Porter):
And then an architectural gold cuff ($65, Bloomingdale's) and a pair of vintage button earrings (Chanel, $317, Farfetch):
Or, consider this star-print scarf (Sonia Rykiel, $150, Kirna Zabete) with a color-blocked top (Gucci, $625, Bergdorf's), some denim skinnies, and a pair of snakeskin loafers ($195, Vince Camuto):
Perfect with these starburst studs (Janna Conner, $635, Max & Chloe) –
– and a big, roomy tote. I'm still hung up on the Celine boston bag ($1,800, Farfetch):
Finally, a couple of small-scale items to mix and match and mold into your wardrobe: a cheapy version of the Kotur clutch above ($41, ASOS), some galaxy-style pumps (Jimmy Choo, on sale for $518, Net-A-Porter), and a star-speckled bangle (D&G, $377, Net-A-Porter):
Finally, a star ring ($50, Shopbop):
In conclusion, two thoughts — the first gratuitous, and the other exciting. Gratuitous comment 1: though this is not even peripherally related to the foregoing post, I needed to brag about the most amazing massage ever in the history of massages in all of life. I treated myself to a little "merry Christmas to me" gift last night when I booked a 50 minute massage with Jay at SomaSpa. O.M.G. I strutted into that treatment room with a chip on my shoulder and announced, with the sort of unsolicited and undeserved know-it-allness of a true brat, "I carry a lot of stress in my shoulders and back." The masseur (aka god-like magician of amazingness) nodded understandingly and then asked a series of questions about my fitness regimen and my health history, which led him to realize that since I run quite a bit, my legs were probably in poor shape. I shrugged it off, but OH MY GOD. The leg portion of the Swedish massage was a revelation. I actually think I died for a few seconds and entered heaven. If you are in the D.C. area and need some TLC, book immediately so you can share my zen. I think I would be a very happy, holistic, well-balanced individual if I had a little more Jay in my life. {Incidentally, Mr. Magpie was not.so.happy to discover that my massage was administered by a male. Sorry, Mr. Magpie. I was too distracted by my bliss to pay attention to gender.}
The second comment: don't forget to enter my Julie Elizabeth giveaway! One lucky TFM reader will win this lovely pair of earrings! All you need to do is LIKE me on Facebook or follow me on Twitter and then leave a comment on this post below explaining why you want the earrings. I'll announce a winner on FRIDAY! AND: enjoy 20% off with coupon code: HOLIDAYS. Yeehaw!

Row Away.Posted by Swati S. If you want to take up a new sport, think about taking up rowing. Rowing is a fun way to keep fit and as a sport, it has a lot going for it. Here are a few things that make rowing so great. 1. It is a fairly easy sport to pick up. It's not very technical and you can probably master the basics of rowing in a couple of hours. 2. It is a complete exercise -- for both the body and the mind. 3. It is one of the few sports that can be enjoyed equally by those who are fit and also those who have a physical handicap. 4. Rowing is a very relaxing sport, for both the mind and the body. It takes you away from all the noise and the pollution to a scenic, calm, and peaceful setting. 5. The best part about rowing is that you can choose the pace that works best for you. So if you are looking to work out or work less, rowing is probably the sport for you. |

Prosecutors have rested their case against reputed Boston gangster James (Whitey) Bulger in a broad racketeering indictment charging him with participating in 19 killings.
The government wrapped up its case Friday after the jury heard from an FBI agent who described Bulger's 2011 capture in Santa Monica, Calif.
Bulger, whose father was born in Harbour Grace, is the reputed boss of the mostly Irish-American Winter Hill Gang. He was one of the nation's most-wanted fugitives after fleeing Boston in late 1994. The Winter Hill saga inspired the 2006 Martin Scorsese film "The Departed."
Judge Denise Casper sent the jury home for the day after prosecutors rested. She told the jurors that the defence — if it chooses to present a case — will begin calling witnesses Monday. Bulger's lawyers say they plan to call up to 16 witnesses.

My new best friend is a drone
His name is Joggobot and he's ready to go running with me anytime, anywhere.
The downside is that he can only go for 20 minutes before he (figuratively) runs out of gas.
No worries, that's only a matter of further iterations.

Newest Review: ... which other supermarkets fresh vegetables doesn't. I know I store them in the same way, but Asda's items seem to last that little bit long... more
ASDA: Always happy to help
Member Name: Seven17
Date: 08/06/12
Advantages: Good store layout, reasonable offers, friendly staff
Disadvantages: Sometimes they move stuff and it becomes hard to find
I normally go to ASDA for a top up shop. Just a few bits and bobs here and there but i actually like the honest offers, they dont trick you with offers like other supermarkets and they have a great staff attitude. They are especially helpful when it comes to retruns. You turn up, give your reciept, they give you a refund, and that's it, no faffing around getting half the workforce down to check your reciept they just get on with it, and thats what i like, the simplicity and good staff ability.
The store is very clean, well organised but the thing i have trouble with is stuff constantly moves, especially in the chilled meats section, i often have to ask where things have moved to. I dont understand why they do it but it must be for a good reason. The staff are very happy to help as their slogan says and point me in the right direction. I have yet to come across a member of staff that doesn't know where something is.
The whole store has banners above rows, products and if there is a special deal on it is clearly marked with big red and yellow text, and a small line of text explaining what the offer is. The checkout is pretty fast, most of their stores actually have self serve checkout and whilst i hate the annoying glitches and moaning i get from self serve tills, ASDA actually have a system where they dont moan, i thought it was impossible but it doesn't go crazy when i do something it doesnt like.
The store normally has a straight line layout for the main store but george and the vegtable section is quite open and much easier to get round with a trolley. Trolley's are usually rust free and in good condition by the way, they must take good care of them.
The staff at the manual checkouts are friendly and offer bags if you need them. To protect the environment you dont have bags ready to take, and instead they issue bags as and when needed. Stock on the shelves is usually full, sometimes things are taken and the staff need time to replace them but generally speaking they are stocked up and i can find everything i want. If i cant, i ask a member of staff and they help me.
Overall my shopping experience at ASDA is a pleasant one and i enjoy going there without hassle. I would recommend their supermarkets, and ill be sure to review some of their own brand products in the near future...
Summary: Recommended store

Every medical intervention has an inherent risk. Blood transfusion is no exception. Physicians must know the risks versus benefits of therapeutic modalities for each specific patient treated. Unfortunately, disproportionate emphasis is sometimes placed on the risks and potential infectious complications of transfusion, in part due to transfusion transmitted HIV in the 1980′s.

Cheap and Effective: the Tranexamic Acid Story
On March 20th the New York Times1 (NYT) reported on a study in BMC Emergency Medicine (http://www.biomedcentral.com/1471-227X/12/3/abstract) that use of tranexamic acid (TXA) in trauma patients could save up to 128,000 lives annually worldwide, 4,000 of them in the United States. Yet U.S. hospitals have been slow to adopt the use of TXA in trauma patients. The issue is not cost; TXA is quite inexpensive, averaging much less than $100 per treatment in most U.S. hospitals. And the issue isn't that the drug lacks efficacy or is unsafe since safety and efficacy have been shown in the CRASH -2 trial2. Continue reading
PLASMA: It's not so "mellow yellow"!
Plasma transfusion, whether FFP, plasma 24, thawed plasma, or any variation on this theme, continues to increase in the U.S. The 2009 National Blood Collection & Utilization Survey Report documented 5.7 million units of plasma produced and close to 4.5 million units transfused. This was an increase of roughly 400, 000 units from 2006.1
Anemia Management in ESRD: On the Horns of a Dilemma
Recently, I have had several queries and personal communications regarding a perceived increase in RBC transfusions for patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) on dialysis. The literature is replete with articles surrounding the management of anemia in this patient population, particularly involving the use of erythropoietin-stimulating agents (ESAs). The literature is limited, however, when it comes to clear guidelines for transfusion. In fact, transfusion is most often discouraged in this population if, in particular, the patient is awaiting a transplant where alloimmunization must be avoided. Continue reading
Who is truly ordering transfusions at your hospital?
As Blood Utilization Committees work to implement standardized transfusion order forms that encourage clinically appropriate transfusions, I am seeing that it is often nurses who are filling out the forms (whether on paper or electronically) after the physician writes the order on a blank form. Nurses and BUC's need to recognize the potential legal implications of this practice. Continue reading
The Storage Lesion: Soldier on and stay tuned!
Transfusion has been a mainstay of patient care for years. It is identified as the #1 procedure performed in hospitals.1 The development and ultimate use of specific blood components has provided ways to tailor transfusion therapy to the patient's clinical needs. Processing and storage of blood components, although allowing for more targeted and diverse therapy, also may have its attendant downside. Transfusion, of course, is certainly life-saving in many instances, however recent attention and scientific literature have highlighted the increased risk-to-benefit ratio associated with transfusion. The so-called "storage lesion" may play a part in some transfusion-associated adverse events.
Obstetric Hemorrhage
Transfusion support for the obstetric patient is complex and demands a significant understanding of the peri-partum physiology, bleeding risk assessment and knowledge of other useful mechanical, pharmacological, and surgical interventions. Variability in obstetric transfusion practice mirrors that seen in general medical and surgical practices. Even the definition of what constitutes "significant hemorrhage" is plagued by the underlying difficulty in estimating blood loss and risk stratification. Continue reading
The Joint Commission Reported Transfusion-Related Sentinel Events
Last fall The Joint Commission (TJC) published sentinel event data from 2004 through the first 3 quarters of 2011.1 While TJC cautions that this data is not epidemiologically meaningful because the events are for the most part voluntarily self-reported and represent only a small portion of actual events, TJC encourages us to recognize that information from these reports and resulting root cause analyses are an important source of information for "lessons learned" that can help prevent similar adverse events from occurring. During the first 3 quarters of last year, TJC reviewed 14 transfusion-related sentinel events taking the total to 92 investigated "hemolytic transfusion reactions involving administration of blood or blood products having major blood group incompatibilities" since 2004. What lessons are these events teaching us? Continue reading
To predonate or not to predonate, that is the question
Last's week's Journal of the American Medical Association included a clinical crossroads case study on autologous predonation (1). The scenario was a relatively healthy, non-anemic woman ("Mrs. C") who was scheduled for elective knee replacement surgery and was asking for advice on blood avoidance options. Her specific concerns were voiced as: "Personally, I do not want anyone else's blood. I believe I should give my own blood for safety reasons. I read the paper a lot and watch the news, and you hear so much about infectious diseases. That's my concern; I have never had an infectious disease in my life and at this age, I don't think I want to get one."(1) From her standpoint, she logically inquired about options such as predonating her own blood prior to surgery or using a directed donor. Continue reading

- " First I would like to address of it's location, it is quite a distance from Taitung city which you have to take a ride from the train station. Apart from that, this hostel is awesome. If you're the sort of person who love homely feel and socialize a lot, you will definitely love this place. Not only that they have 2 cats and a dog, due to the setting of the place people tend to gather and chat in common area. They emphasize a lot on "green", recycle and saving energy. "

This place is located close to nowhere really just a bike trail and a beach. It is really just a stop to relax during your travels. If you however have a bike or do not mind taking the bus then Taitung is not far away and the night life there is pretty good! "

Those interested in Nordic walking, or for that matter just walking as fast as possible, endlessly debate whether it can be done faster, by taking long – almost at maximum extension – steps, or faster, shorter ones.
Aristotle has said a long time ago, that: "The person who walks with short and slow steps is a person who starts his business sluggishly and does not pursue a goal".
I do not necessarily agree with the famous philosopher, mainly because it does seem to me that taking shorter, faster steps is not only, well…faster, but there's also less of a danger of injuring oneself, by overstretching the stride.
I can only assume that Aristotle was not too concerned about the actual speed of walking, but rather with one's personality. He also talks about "slow" steps and that's not what we are interested in here.
About a year ago, trying to catch up with a woman, who passed me on the trail around Burke Lake, Virginia appeared to be totally impossible. Very quickly I realized that my super-long steps simply were not the way to win races.
She did admit (probably to make me feel better, as she was passing me) that she used to be on the U.S. race walking Olympic team…
Anyway, after struggling for about half a mile and at the same time seeing the woman steadily pulling further and further ahead of me, taking very fast, but relatively short (by the standard of my longer legs) steps, I decided to try to emulate her technique.
It didn't come naturally, particularly in view of the fact that I had to exponentially increase not only the cadence of my legs, but also of my arms and Nordic walking poles, but lo and behold! I did start to slowly gain on her!
Was not able to catch her before the end of the lake circuit, but the slightly shorter, but much faster steps almost brought me within striking distance!
I suppose that the optimal combination would be achieved by taking long and very fast steps. Unfortunately, most of us are limited to a certain effort and in order to maintain a very fast cadence, the stride has to be shortened at least to a certain degree.
Most of the time, when I do not try to race someone, or attempt to beat a personal best time, I usually Nordic walk with my longer, slower steps, which seem more natural than a really fast tempo. When doing that, I usually am able to push harder with the arms. There is simply more time to do so.
Shortening the step by 5, to 10 cm (2-4 inches) will not affect the distance walked nearly as much, as increasing the frequency of the steps from 90-92 steps per minute (my long step average), to 130 + steps per minute (again-my average).
Losing let's say, three inches out of every stride would translate into 180 inches, or 15 feet (about 5 meters) per minute, or only 300 meters (900 feet) per hour. On the other hand…considering that my steps are around 1 meter-long (3.3 feet), the 40-step per minute increase translates into 40 extra meters for every minute, or 2,400 meters (1.5 miles) additional distance covered every hour!
Do the math yourself, substituting your figures for mine.
Once again, regardless of the tempo, cadence, stride length, proper form should be maintained. If you cannot maintain the form, try slowing down the pace, to the point where both speed and form can happily co-exist.
Faster cadence might be easier to manage with slightly shorter poles. I haven't been doing it, but you are all welcome to try, if your regular size becomes too cumbersome at 130+ strides per minute.
On the other hand, if you are looking for a better upper body workout, slightly longer poles might help. Once again, all I do is simply concentrate on pushing harder and/or doing some hill climbs, but using longer, or adjustable poles may be a very good idea here.

Bo Burlingham, the Best Selling Author of "Small Giants" will be appearing on The Power of the Human Connection with Chris Schultenover on Thursday, September 15 at 10 AM Pacific Time on the VoiceAmerica Variety Channel (http://www.voiceamericavariety.com).
Bo Burlingham is an editor-at-large of Inc. magazine and the author of several books on entrepreneurship. Mr. Burlingham joined Inc. in January 1983 as a senior editor. Promoted to executive editor six months later, he played a major role in the magazine's early coverage of innovative companies that have since revolutionized the U.S. economy.
In 1990, he resigned as executive editor so that he could do more writing and became editor-at-large. Subsequently he wrote two books with Jack Stack, the co-founder and CEO of Springfield Remanufacturing Corp. and the pioneer of open-book management. Their first book, The Great Game of Business, was honored as one of the 100 best business books of all time and has sold more than 500,000 copies. The second, A Stake in the Outcome, has been called "the first management classic of the new millennium."
Burlingham's next book, Small Giants: Companies That Choose To Be Great Instead of Big, was published in 2006 and named one of five finalists for the Financial Times/Goldman Sachs Business Book of the Year award. His most recent book, co-authored with Norm Brodsky, is The Knack: How Street-Smart Entrepreneurs Learn to Handle Whatever Comes Up. (It is now available in paperback under the title Street Smarts: An All-Purpose Tool Kit for Entrepreneurs.) Since 1995, Burlingham has co-authored Brodsky's popular monthly column in Inc. called "Street Smarts," which was the winner of a gold "AZBEE" award from the American Society of Business Publication Editors in 2008, and a finalist for a National Magazine Award in 2006 and 2008.

Egyptian art and architecture
Egyptian art and architecture, the ancient architectural monuments, sculptures, paintings, and decorative crafts produced mainly during the dynastic periods of the first three millennia bce in the Nile valley regions of Egypt and Nubia. The course of art in Egypt paralleled to a large extent the country's political history, but it depended as well on the entrenched belief in the permanence of the natural, divinely ordained order. Artistic achievement in both architecture and representational art aimed at the preservation of forms and conventions that were held to reflect the perfection of the world at the primordial moment of creation and to embody the correct relationship between humankind, the king, and the pantheon of the gods. For this reason, Egyptian art appears outwardly resistant to development and the exercise of individual artistic judgment, but Egyptian artisans of every historical period found different solutions for the conceptual challenges posed to them. For the purposes of definition, "ancient Egyptian" is essentially coterminous with pharaonic Egypt, the dynastic structure of Egyptian history, artificial though it may partly be, providing a convenient chronological framework. The distinctive periods are: Predynastic (c. 6th millennium bce–c. 2925 bce); Early Dynastic (1st–3rd dynasties, c. 2925–c. 2575 bce ... (200 of 10,995 words)

By the time she was 8 years old, Michelle Gordon '94 knew that she wanted to be a doctor.
Not only did she want to be like her uncles, who were doctors themselves, but the poking and prodding by physicians who first diagnosed her with atrial septal defect—a hole in the heart—was a major defining moment in her career choice.
Attending Harvey Mudd College later in life armed her with the skills she needed to make that choice a reality. And now she's giving back.
"Harvey Mudd is a unique place," says Gordon, a doctor of osteopathic medicine with her own surgical practice, Northern Westchester Surgical Associates, in Putnam Valley, NY. "It's a really good stepping stone. You can go anywhere. You can do anything."
"If I hadn't worked through the Mudd experience, I wouldn't be where I am now," she adds. "I learned to think on my feet, critical thinking. Even though I wasn't the best student in college, Harvey Mudd really prepared me. I can get through any situation."
Gordon, who received her doctor of osteopathic medicine from Western University of Health Sciences in Pomona, wanted to make sure that other students had the same opportunity.
So, in 2007 she established the Michelle E. Gordon '94 Endowed Scholarship, to be awarded each year to a HMC student pursuing a medical profession, preferably a student interested in osteopathic medicine.
Gordon hopes to increase the awareness of osteopathic medicine, which is a whole-person approach to health care. Rather than treating symptoms, "osteopathic physicians understand how all the body's systems are interconnected and how each one affects the others," according to the American Osteopathic Association.
"I know osteopathic medicine is not well understood," Gordon says. "It's really looked upon by many as the little brother/little sister of medicine."
The road to becoming a doctor was not always a smooth one for Gordon, who became a surgeon in 2005 and still occasionally practices osteopathic medicine.
"I struggled in medical school," she says. "I took care of a sick kid as a single parent."
After Michelle's graduation from HMC, her son, Alexander, who was not quite 2 at the time, was diagnosed with leukemia which had spread through his central nervous system. For three years, he was in and out of the hospital undergoing chemotherapy and other treatments. Today, at 15, he is cancer-free.
Despite the obstacles, Gordon reached her career destination.
"I completed not only medical school, but the rigorous tasks of internship and residency," she says. "Now I have something, and I want to give back."

Home > What We Treat > Specialized Patient Services > Therapeutic Recreation > Internship Opportunities
The Therapeutic Recreation Department at the Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago (RIC) strives to assist people with disabilities back into an independent and fulfilling leisure lifestyle. The primary population of patients treated are individuals with a spinal cord injury, stroke, cerebral palsy, multiple sclerosis, traumatic brain injury, visual impairment and amputation and a leisure assessment is performed and a treatment plan is developed based on the patients rehabilitation goals and leisure interests. Treatment objectives can range from leisure skills training and community reintegration outings to leisure education sessions and recreational resource awareness. In addition to recreational therapy, music therapy, horticultural therapy, art therapy, and animal-assisted therapy may also be offered through the department.
The internship program accepts senior or graduate students majoring in therapeutic recreation. The program requirements include a minimum commitment of a 12-week placement and the intern is expected to work 40 hours a week, including some nights and weekends.
Interns selected are assigned by the director of the Therapeutic Recreation Department. Each intern will have a Certified Therapeutic Recreation Specialist (CTRS) as their immediate supervisor. The intern is involved in all department meetings, including staff meetings, programming, in-services and accepts a portion of the staff's patient caseload.
RIC's Therapeutic Recreation Department provides office space and computer orientation/training as part of the internship placement. All travel related expenses directly attributed to assignments within the program will be covered.
Standard procedure regarding internships involves the student contacting the director of the Therapeutic Recreation Department in writing or e-mail, expressing an interest in discussing the possibility of an internship. Along with this letter of interest, a resume and a completed Internship Application Form must be included.
Following a review of the Internship Application Form and resume, the candidate will be informed if an interview will be scheduled. Interviews may be conducted over the phone if an in-person interview cannot be arranged. Interns are then selected from the pool of applicants. This process usually takes place two to six months prior to the start of an individual's desired internship.
Weekly staff meetings Patient team conferences Sports program and TR in-services as scheduled Suggested medical lectures or films (check with supervisor) Weekly supervision to discuss progress, growth, activity, planning, problem areas, etc. Meetings with other departments, staff or organizations as scheduled
RIC clinical therapies (scheduled through supervisor) One site visit to TR department in other facility (arrange on your own and report) Two other TR joint therapy programs Each of the currently scheduled RIC sports programs being held TR individual inpatient assessments and corresponding team meetings
Provides participants with leisure assessment, treatment and education Complete patient progress notes as appropriate Assist TR staff with one special event, one out-trip activity and two in-house activities Organize and lead two in-house TR special event Completion of a major long term project to benefit the TR Program

We'll start with an amazing wilderness photo today. Just check the lonely tiger posing in the rain forest … it can't get any better than that. My pick from the section below would be the football illustration by Will Murai called Antonio Gates. To say the truth we had here better illustrations though already .). I can't say the same after viewing the art / digital art section. There You Are by Anai Greog is quite amazing … the same goes for the chain sculpt artwork by Seo Yeong Deok, which is right below. In the freebie section you'll find something pretty cool, and untraditional. It's a web site "prepare for launch" progress bar. You'll never know when you could need it … just get it. Enjoy the collection .).

Bob Alexander, who owns and operates LX&R Design based in Chamita, New
Mexico is much happier these days.
After designing sustainable solar efficient homes for more than a
decade he says he has found the perfect material for the
owner-builder do-it-yourselfer.
"Pumice-crete casting is the best thing that
ever happened to sustainable housing." he says. "This
material is fire proof, rodent and insect proof, rot proof,
non-toxic and relatively cheap and easy to use. It doesn't cost
an arm and a leg to build a really nice home with it."
As for proof, Bob's friend, Ron Vanderzanden, recently built a pumice-crete casted home for his sister at a
cost of around $50.00 a square foot. This includes the cost of
the well, septic system and electric. And it was done using a
low-tech method and untrained labor.
"For years I have been interested in the wall casting idea
and I did a lot of research on it. Casting has several advantages
over many other forms of construction, but, many of the casting
materials I looked into had problems such as excessive shrinkage
which led to cracking and low R-value which results in higher
heat loss."
"Another big draw back is that these materials aren't well
known to the Construction Industries Division who issue building
permits here in New Mexico and they are reluctant to put their
stamp of approval on something they don't know much about."
"Pumice-crete, on the other hand, has been in use here since
at least the 1940's and, although it is still considered an
'alternative building material', getting a building permit for it
is pretty straight forward."
"It's not rocket science to build a really nice home with
it. Another big plus for me as a solar designer is
the fact that it has high mass, meaning that it will store solar
heat. And it doesn't use a lot of wood which is getting more
"With the rising cost of heating fuel, it only makes sense
to use solar energy if you can, but, you don't build a good solar
house by simply adding a lot of glass. That creates a greenhouse
effect and the house will soon overheat. You need a fair amount
of mass to soak up that heat. At night that mass will release
its' heat back into the home keeping your heating bill down. The
reverse is true in summer. If you cool the house down at night it
will stay reasonably comfortable through most of the next
"It still takes a good solar design to achieve high solar
efficiency, but the pumice-crete casting technique is something
almost anyone can do and it doesn't cost much to get going with
"We used a paddle batcher ten years ago, but, it
takes a bit more work."
which does a better job
than an cement mixer, but, you could mix it by hand in a
wheelbarrow. The forms were made out of ¾" plywood and a metal yoke
which Ron designed, was used to hold them in place. The forms
were reused as the walls grew taller. This is referred to as
'slip forming'. Even the interior walls were casted, but,
full-height plywood forms were used there which required stronger
"An old electric forklift was fitted with a platform which
would accommodate two wheel barrows making it easier to get the
mix into the forms at the higher levels. It can be done using 5
gallon buckets. In fact, that is how Ron and his wife built their
own house ten years ago, but, it
takes a bit more work."
"You can stop whenever you want to and start back on it when
you can. Doing a little work each day makes it easier on you and
your budget. You can even use the stuff as roof insulation, but,
it is heavy in the wet state, so strong roof bracing is
"It is also possible to make building blocks out of the
stuff and stack them like adobes. If the building site is remote,
you could make them in your back yard on weekday evenings and put
them up on weekends once they are dry enough to handle."
"Pumice is a lightweight rock
available locally for around $14.00 a cubic yard. The only other
ingredients are water and Portland cement which is only 1/15th of
the mix by volume. Making a good casting mix requires a little
practice. You don't want to over mix the stuff since this will
cut down your R-value."
"Rons' sisters' house has 16" exterior
walls which were required to meet current energy codes. No
additional wall insulation is required. This home features arched
windows and doors and flared window and door openings resulting
in a nice smooth appearance."
"Our goal isn't to build homes for people. It's to show
people how they can build their own high-quality homes using
inexpensive materials and relatively low-tech methods. We have
started to write a booklet on this method and we may eventually
produce a video tape on it."
"Traditionally, people have had to take out a long-term
mortgage to get a high quality home. This cycle has gotten us to
where we are now. I would like to see this change, so people can
live within their means. It does take some 'sweat equity', but I
know it is possible."

Document locked by signature that's never been signed?
Aug 6, 2012 4:57 PM
Branched from an earlier discussion.
I have Acrobat 10. I created a dosument, and signed it, and checked the "Lock document after signing" checkbox. Later, I realized I wanted to make a change to the document properties, so I deleted the document, and recreated it (I have an automatic way to generate the PDF). The new document by the same name didn't have a signature, so obviously there was no way to clear it, but the document behaved as though it was still locked. The only way I found to enable a new signature to be applied was to make a text edit to the document, and then I was able to sign it. Is this a bug?

Mathias Svalina was born in Chicago, where his parents were both chemists. He is the author of five chapbooks as well as five collaboratively written chapbooks. His work has been published widely in journals such as American Letters & Commentary, Boston Review, Diagram, Jubilat, and Typo. He has won fellowships and awards from The Bread Loaf Writers' Conference, The Iowa Review and New Michigan Press, among others. With Zachary Schomburg, he co-edits Octopus Magazine and Octopus Books. He currently teaches writing and literature in Denver, Colorado. Destruction Myth (Cleveland State University Press, 2010) is his first book.
There was a bunny with a broken leg
& a mink with an empty stomach,
Somehow they coexisted peacefully
& were able to create the world.
When Hollywood heard about this
they sent a team of idea people out to meet them.
that the bunny & the mink uncreated the world.
They drank up all the oceans
& hairdried all the clouds.
They knocked down all the mountains
& flicked the switch that turned the sun off.
They sat together in the darkness
neither one really knowing what to say.
The mink leaned over to the bunny,
put his paw on his friend's shoulder,
said: Well it's been a wild ride
& bit the bunny's throat out.
In the beginning there was a book
but every time a villager read the book
it meant something different to her
than it did to her friend or her mother.
The villagers fought over the correct interpretation.
Mothers ripped earrings from their son's ears.
Children stuffed their parents' mouths with gauze.
Priests bludgeoned bakers. Twins disagreed.
Eventually someone decided to throw the book
down the well, but when she picked it up
a shower of keys fell from its pages,
each key labeled for a particular villager.
There were no locks at that time
so the villagers took their keys home
to their basements & garages & built locks
& locked up everything they owned.
They locked up their houses & bikes first.
Then they locked up their drawers & their pockets.
One villager built a lock for his mouth
& then another built a lock for his eyes.
Years later a team of scientists in white coats
discovered the village. All the villagers
had locked themselves completely still
& only a few sneezes revealed that they were alive.
The scientists radioed in for a team of pickpockets
who stole the keys from the locked villagers.
But even the pickpockets could not be of help
because none of the keys opened any of the locks.

What are the beliefs that are getting in the way of your job or your business?
In the same way as we do inquiry on our stressful thoughts about people in our lives, we can do business inquiry, questioning the assumptions we take to work and about our work or not having work. These assumptions may seem neutral to some of you, but they may in fact be causing a lot of stress in your life.
Why do we do things the same way over and over again and expect different results? Because we are believing our unquestioned thoughts over and over again in the same way, that's why. Simple.
What if we were to challenge our underlying beliefs, the beliefs about our work, the markets, our products and services, our customers, our partners, suppliers, our financial thinking, in fact everything we believe to be true about our jobs, the people we work with, our businesses?
Here's how.
(Notice how familiar this process is.)
Write down a business assumption or belief on the line below and then question it in writing (use additional blank paper as needed), using the following questions and turnarounds.
(If you prefer, use the One-Belief-at-a-Time Worksheet. You are welcome to download it here now.) While answering the questions, be still, and go deeply as you contemplate. The Work stops working the moment you stop answering the questions. Assumption/Belief/Concept (Fill in the blanks)......................... 1. Is it true? 2. Can you absolutely know that it's true? 3. How do you react, what happens, when you believe that thought? What actions, thoughts, images, happen as an employee, a business owner, or a consumer, when you believe that thought? - Describe your feelings; notice what happens in your emotional body when you believe that thought or assumption. Notice what addictions come to mind when you believe that thought. Notice the ones that you act on and any guilt that may follow. Describe in detail how you react. - How do you treat your employees, customers, suppliers, partners, competitors when you believe that thought? - How do you treat yourself when you believe that thought? - What negative business behaviors happen when you believe that thought? (For example, defensiveness, secrecy, lies, exaggerations, justifications, theft, breach of laws (legal and moral), false accusations, anger, punitive behavior.) - Where and when did that belief/assumption first occur to you (at what stage or part of the business)? After you define that, close your eyes and find its origin. Were you three years old when you recall its origin in your life? Six, seven years old? Notice: is it still causing fear and failures in your business and life as a consumer today? - What negative results do you get for holding on to that belief or assumption? What are your business expectations, and what is the cost to you in losses, financial and personal? - What do you fear would happen to your business and your financial life if you didn't believe that thought? (These, as well as the others, can be added to your list for inquiry later.) - Does that thought bring peace or stress into your business life? 4. Who would you be without the thought? Close your eyes; drop your belief just for a moment and look back; notice what your business would look like without that assumption. What could your business be doing if you weren't holding on to this belief? What do you see? Find three examples of what you could easily do differently if you didn't believe that thought. |

By Chick Jacobs Staff writer
LUMBERTON - Lunch is still being served at Tyson's Diner. The smell of fried chicken fills the building, and tempting wedges of 22-layer chocolate cake still beckon by the cash register.
But "the Food Man" has moved on.
Melton Ray "Bill" Tyson died May 23 at age 83. He leaves a legacy as a man who who loved cooking and family.
In fact, his skills as a chef nearly led him to France.
"When he was in the Army, he was in line to join General Eisenhower's staff and go to France," said his son, Mike Tyson. "But he missed out on account of seniority. If that hadn't happened, he said, we might have all grown up Frenchmen!"
Tyson grew up in the heart of Robeson County. Born in Lumberton on Halloween 1929, he was the son of James and Alice Tyson and one of eight siblings. He graduated from high school, then joined the Army, eventually serving in the Korean War.
He returned to Lumberton in the 1950s, opening a small bakery with a cousin downtown. He also was a regional route salesman for Toms and Taylor Biscuits. Tyson also ran a tire dealership in Lumberton beginning in the late '60s.
"But his heart was always in cooking," said Mike Tyson, who now runs the diner that bears his dad's name. "We make boiled peanuts and deliver them to gas stations around here. He loved cooking hamburgers and fried chicken for people.
"When we got this place in 1976, we originally were just going to use it to make pig skins. But once we get set up, we decided to open a diner. He loved it here."
Tyson worked until retiring in 1998. Customers came to know him as "the Food Man" because, they said, you could count on friendly service and a good meal at his place.
Away from the grill, Tyson was a decent golfer and enjoyed spending time with the family. His skill as a problem solver is best summed up in his solution to getting a house on White Lake.
Mike Tyson said his dad had a place to put the house, but all of his equipment was in Lumberton.
"So, he figured out how to prefab the house and haul it to White Lake," he said. "There was some things he had to do down there, but nearly all the house was built here and hauled there. In the end, we had a two-story house at the lake that's still there.
"He could figure out just about anything. If he put his mind to it, he'd figure it.
"He was a great man with a great mind. He was a great father and friend."

First there was The Sporting News national player of the year award. Then he took home the NABC's honors. Then the USBWA, AP, and Naismith. Now The Villain has capped a remarkable career winning the John Wooden award for college basketball's best individual player. For those keeping score at home, he's now 6/6 in National Player of the Year awards. Truly a daunting trophy case this guy's going to have when everything's said and done. Congratulations Evan. While your stretch in a scarlet & gray uniform may be history, you'll always be a Buckeye.
Clean Sweep
You guys beat me to it!
Congrats, ET! Good luck in the league!
That's especially cool in light of that piece on the B10 network about him going out and purchasing his first trophy (like a bowling trophy or something) at a yard sale...he wanted one so badly. Short of the Heisman, this is about as good as it gets in terms of individual trophies.

How To Make A Hollywood Cocktail Recipe
(Story From About.com http://cocktails.about.com/od/vodkadrinkrecipes/r/hollywood.htm)
The Hollywood is an interesting mix of fruit flavors that one may not think of at first as a possible combination. Realistically, the dark black raspberry and light strawberry/pineapple work well together in a sort of yin and yang relationship. The Hollywood (sometimes called a Raspberry Smash) is a rather popular juice drink, and one that bartenders should know. If you prefer, the Hollywood Martini is a neat version of this rocks juice recipe.
- 1 1/2 oz Vodka ( I prefer Grey Goose)
- 1/2 oz Black Rasberry liqueur
- Pineapple Juice
- Strawberry / Lime Wedge for garnish
- Fill collins glass with ice.
- Add vodka and liqueur to cocktail shaker with 1 ice cue and shake 5-6 count.
- Strain into collins glass with ice
- Garnish (Not Required) serve and enjoy
