TheBrickster, here we are. We have finally reached Nikko Shrine safely. Take a look at the lush green environment which simply takes your breath away from the calm soothing environment. The building is as majestic as the pagoda, filled with rich scarlet oriental paint with traditional roof tiles made more than hundred years ago. Nikko Shrine was built by the respectable shrine builder known as Triathletus in Japan and built this in the Nikko region.
This is the very place, where the villagers climb up the high mountains to the top of the cliff daily, to pray to their God or commonly known to them as Kami. Kami's existence takes in many forms such as sun, mountains and rivers. For many hundred of years, the Shinto beliefs are still very strong in these villagers. In this present moment, this famous architecture are protected by the government and declared as National Treasure. TheBrickster, shall we head inside and take a closer look at the beautiful sakura blooms.

Sometimes it's not just about the ratings. And sometimes it is. That's the takeaway from an eventful week in the win-some/lose-some sweepstakes we call TV programming.
On the plus side: TNT's renewal of Southland, the latest lifeline for the gritty police drama that NBC ditched during that misbegotten period when Jay Leno put the 10 pm drama on the endangered species list. It will never be as popular as the network's signature shows like The Closer and Rizzoli & Isles (which got a funny shout out from 30 Rock's Liz Lemon this week), but Southland's uncompromising integrity helps give credence to TNT's "We Know Drama" credo.

Short on Physicians, Long on Adverse Effects
Short on Physicians, Long on Adverse Effects
The United States faces a shortage of 100,000 physicians in the next decade. Why? The patient population is aging and battling multiple chronic conditions. Millions of newly insured persons are entering the health care system. And the work force is experiencing attrition as many physicians move into retirement.
In addition, fewer aspiring physicians are opting for primary care—only one-third of U S physicians are choosing primary care compared with about half of physicians in other developed nations. You know the reasons: lower payments, frustrating practice models, and long hours of clerical work that doesn't use your medical training to full advantage.
These and other factors also contribute to a high burnout rate among physicians. You and your colleagues work an average of 10 hours more per week than the general population and are nearly twice as likely to be dissatisfied with your work-life balance. In one survey, close to half of physicians reported experiencing at least 1 symptom of serious burnout, such as emotional exhaustion. And the suicide rate among physicians is 2 to 4 times higher than in the general population.
A high burnout rate translates into even more physicians leaving practice, thus adding to an already critical shortage.
That a shortage of primary care physicians poses a threat to the quality of patient care is not subject to debate. The big question is what to do about it.
Many of the issues were addressed recently by the not-for-profit Association of American Medical Colleges. The AAMC submitted a statement, "Successful Primary Care Programs: Creating the Workforce We Need," to a hearing of the Subcommittee on Primary Health and Aging to the Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions—appropriately acronymed "HELP."
Medical schools already have taken the first critical step in addressing increased demand for primary care physicians, with the goal of enrolling 30% more students by 2016 than in 2002, the AAMC noted. But several medical graduates have expressed concern about their level of interest in primary care careers. And despite medical schools' best efforts, the AAMC added, such action will have a negligible effect on reversing physician shortages unless Congress permits a proportionate increase in federal support for graduate medical education training positions at teaching hospitals.
At the forefront of the physician shortage discussion lies the potential role of nurse practitioners in meeting increased demand for primary care services. In a recent study in the New England Journal in Medicine, researchers questioned close to 1000 physicians and nurse practitioners in primary care practice about scope of work, practice characteristics, and attitudes about nurse practitioners' expanding role.
Physicians and nurse practitioners did not agree about a number of things. Consider the following:
• "Nurse practitioners should be able to practice to the full extent of their education and training"—95.6% of nurse practitioners agreed to this statement vs only 76.3% of physicians.
• "Nurse practitioners should lead medical homes"— 82.2% of nurse practitioners agreed vs only 17.2% of physicians.
• "Nurse practitioners should be paid equally for providing the same services"— 64.3% of nurse practitioners agreed vs only 3.8% of physicians.
• On the question of whether physicians provide a higher-quality examination and consultation than do nurse practitioners during the same type of primary care visit, 66.1% of physicians agreed and 75.3% of nurse practitioners disagreed.
The authors concluded that both physicians and nurse practitioners will be needed to address the growing primary care workforce challenge but suggested that current policy recommendations remain controversial. In other words, many primary care physicians are unlikely to embrace an expanded role for nurse practitioners.
Data from the National Ambulatory Medical Care Survey support the use of physician assistant and nurse practitioner services as a strategy to ease the shortage. Findings suggested that some division of labor exists among providers that could contribute to improved organizational efficiency in ambulatory systems.
A new practice model, direct primary care, is another potential solution, one that has gained support from the American Academy of Family Physicians. Practices charge patients a monthly fee in exchange for access to a broad range of primary care services. Physicians do not take insurance but encourage patients to carry major medical health insurance to cover hospitalization and other high-cost care.
Family physicians who adopted the model were described as priding themselves on "having found a way to cut the red tape that has some physicians looking for the exit door" because "providing quality health care at a lower cost and at a relaxed and reasonable pace makes every day at the office a good one."
Still another remedy, a movement from a physician-centric model of work distribution to a shared-care model, comes from a group of physician-authors. They attempted to identify the challenges that primary care practices face and innovations that might increase physicians' work-life satisfaction, attract future physicians to the field, and improve the quality of patient care. Their main recommendation, the shared-care model, is designed to produce higher levels of clinical support of physicians and frequent forums for communication that can result in high-functioning teams.
There may be little agreement on the best solution, but everyone agrees that the potential consequences are worrisome. Dr Atul Grover, chief public policy officer at the AAMC, summed up the problem very nicely: "We are very concerned that we're going to hand insurance cards to 30 million people and we won't have the doctors to treat them."
When people are sick they want to see a doctor, not someone who is playing dress up. As a physician I see the role of nurse practioner and physician assistant as dangerous as in order to know that a complaint is minor one must first know what major disease is and how it presents. Lets face it, the most difficult diagnosis to make is the one that presents with subtle complaints and physical findings, and as we were told in medical school you see what you know, so the less you know the less you see. I know that if I were to seek care I would insist on seeing a physician. However, these considerations may be moot as most new students, at least those who are wise enough to seek advice, see the family practice, emergency medicine, general medicine, and pediatrics are dead end jobs that demand hard work with little reward, so in the end the nurse practioners will inherit the roles Only the specialties and sub-specialties can offer a decent living and job ,satisfaction.
As being a physician for 25 years, I disagree that a nurse, even practitioner- nurse might provide the MDs' service.
I studies the RN course, also, and RNs are the followers, only. They are poorly educated, and their professional knowledge/service is on the low level.
I believe, the problem might be eliviated by involving the American MDs who have their medical Diploma/ education a broad.
In a case of the natural disaster, those MDs were on the frontage to help to the ill/wounded patients/clients.
Davids, MD- educated and medically- practiced for 25 years in Ukraine
the USA citizen
I disagree with a lot of the information that is being used against Physicians Assisant, I find it erronous and not founded. First PA's are Board certified bu the AMA. They produce the licensing exam so that a compotent level is obtained. PA's are educated and trained in the medical model, not the nursing model. PA's do their medical rotation along side medical and osteopathic students. Studies done by AAPA shows that the PA delivers competent medicine as the physician(I am talking about primary care now). PA's are cost effective which makes the very attractive to physicians in primary care to hire PA's to lighten the load while adding to the bottom line significantly. The MD-PA team works well when each understand it roles and responsibility. I am no physician, I didn;t go to Medical School for 8 to 12 years. Physicians should make more money and should always have the final say in the way the PA's practices. You would be spurprise how well these teams work, when everyone understands his role. The PA can make a very good wage while at the same time increasing the physicians pay substantially and give him more time away from the practice, you can't put a dollar amount on time away if you are a physician. Lastly, we must use technology to its fullest to educate Healthcare providers and patients alike. We are in a new age were patients are truly informed and expect a certain level of care. All I can say from my experiences, my physicians loved working with PA's once the understood their roles were not threatened but enhanced. Change is coming and the Physicians and PA is a solution. NP's who want to be treated as physicians and paid aas a physician is something I am entirely against as a middle practitioner. They are missing the point and they are trying to short change the doctors who paid for the medical education....I believe they must step back and join the team, learn what their role is and contribute. PA's have the backing of the AMA and several other professional medical chapters. Jim Moreland PA-C, MHS

After watching the football team win the Class 4A state championship this month, the Booker T. Washington boys' basketball team knew it had to make a statement to keep up in athletic success within the program.
Although the Tornadoes didn't win a state championship Saturday, they did come away the victors of one of South Florida's most prominent holiday basketball tournaments.
The Booker T. Washington boys' basketball team won the South Florida bracket of the 2012 Junior Orange Bowl Basketball Classic with a 61-31 win against Mater Academy on Saturday at Ronald Reagan High.
"The alumni have been talking to me saying, 'Hey, what you guys going to do now that the football team won the championship?' " Booker T. coach Javorie Wilson said. "Definitely we're hearing little whispers about the football state championship, so that kind of motivates [the team]."
The swarming Tornado defense suffocated the Lions, forcing them into 18 turnovers and holding them to 27.7 percent shooting from the field, including 3 for 25 in the second half.
Richie Spiller, who was named South Florida bracket tournament MVP, had 16 points and four assists running the Tornado offense.
"I've been working since my freshman year. It feels good to finally earn something that shows my hard work," Spiller said while holding his MVP award.
The third quarter, which has plagued Mater Academy throughout the season, saw the Tornadoes outscore Mater 18-4 in the frame with the Tornadoes ending the quarter on an 11-0 run to take a 46-28 lead into the fourth.
Booker T. outscored Mater 33-7 after halftime.
Devin Holcomb, who drilled 5 of 10 three-point attempts to finish with 17 points, hit two of his long-distance shots during the run, and 6-5 forward Demetrius Jackson had back-to-back put-backs off offensive rebounds to ignite it.
Jackson ended the night with a double-double of 16 points and 11 rebounds. He also had three blocks. Going to the paint, showing off the midrange jump shot and cleaning up misses with put-backs, Jackson scored however he desired against the Mater defense.
"He's all-around," Wilson said. "He helps us a lot rebounding. He's a double-double machine."
Spiller, Jackson and Holcomb all earned all-tournament honors.
Booker T. (10-3) has aspirations to reach Lakeland for the state tournament this season. As the team posed for pictures holding up its championship plaques, players opted to collectively proclaim "Lakeland" instead of the more traditional "cheese."
"Lakeland" is also the word of choice the Tornadoes often use to break their huddle at the end of practices.
"I feel like all our games on our schedule are winnable," Spiller said. "So Lakeland, that's where we're going to be."
For the Lions (6-7), coach Corey Stephens understands that he has a young team that is developing. A majority of their rotation players are underclassmen. Junior guard Jesus Fernandez was the lone double-figure scorer for Mater with 13 points.
After earning the tournament crown, Booker T. Washington will now concentrate on winning its district before it can reach its ultimate goal of a Lakeland arrival.
• Tournament roundup: In the championship game of the national bracket, Potomac (Md.) Bullis earned a 57-55 overtime victory over West Charlotte (N.C.). Center Andre Walker hit the game-winning field goal from five feet away to seal it with five seconds left. Jamaal Greenwood sent the game into overtime at the buzzer of regulation with a three-pointer from the elbow.

DIY Oatmeal Packets
You'll need quick oats, creamer, dried fruit, and baggies and a food processor or blender:
First up you're going to take some of your oats and cut them up in your food processor or blender - this is what will give you the consistency of the store-bought packets. So on the left is regular and on the right is after I put some in my food processor:
I saw several different recipes and versions on Pinterest, and combined them into what worked for me. When eating the store bought oatmeal, I use 2 packets, so I made my homemade version a generous helping.
Each baggie includes:
1/2 cup quick oats
1/8 cup blended quick oats (from the food processor)
1 tbsp creamer (because the store kind I like is "strawberries and cream" or "peaches and cream")
1-2 tbsp dried fruit - I had strawberry, peach, and coconut pineapple
So, verdict - - it's alright. It mixes up just like the store packets - same consistency, etc. Looks perfect. But when I eat it, I know it's missing the loads of sugar. It's good and all, just doesn't have the exact same taste. I think it'd be better with more fruit, but that dried fruit was pricey and I was stingy.
Have you ever tried making your own Oatmeal Packets before?

I think this is a great idea! It is so much better than the sugared store bought!! I didn't think to grind any. We fly a lot, so I keep the oats in a separate baggie, fruit in another. When we are running between flights and don't have time to get something, I just ask for hot water and a cup during the flight .... no more hunger or cravings!!
ReplyDeleteA couple of healthier suggestions -- use powdered milk instead of creamer (which contains some strange things -- try reading the contents information!), which will up the calcium, consider adding more fruit, maybe top the final product with some maple syrup, which is a source of iron. You can also get dried vanilla if you want that flavor -- King Arthur Flour Co. carries it; probably Williams Sonoma too. If you can pack in a large container, then stir and measure accordingly, you will keep those plastic baggies out of the landfill.
ReplyDeleteI love this idea. Maybe if it is something you really liked you could get a dehydrator (or have Trevor do it the Alton Brown way with a box fan and air filters (seems like Trevor's style) laying the fruit on the air filter and then using rubber tie ons to attach the filter to the box fan.
ReplyDeleteHI, I have recently started doing this as well. My coffee grinder that cleans easily, grinds the oatmeal like a charm when I only need small quantities. I found a pinch of salt makes it tastes just right. I usually leave out salt in my cooking but this made a huge difference with just a little bit.
Comments are awesome! - - I reply to every question via email (if your email is linked to your comment) and I really really appreciate each comment!!

Somatic cells have two sets of chromosomes; one set from each parent. For example, in humans one set = 23 chromosomes, so our somatic cells have 46 chromosomes arranged in 23 pairs. The two chromosomes in each pair are referred to as being homologous chromosomes, so we could say that humans have 23 pairs of homologous chromosomes. The two chromosomes of each pair carry genes for the same trait (for example, eye color) at the same location, but not necessarily the same form of that gene (for example, brown vs. blue eyes).
An important exception to this is the sex chromosomes, the X and Y chromosomes. Although these chromosomes pair with each other, they are not the same size. The X-chromosome is longer and has genes for many traits with no match on the Y-chromosome. A person with XX would be female and someone with XY would be male (although, that's not true of all other organisms). All the other chromosomes are called autosomes.
Somatic cells have two sets of autosomes (however many pairs that is) and one pair of sex chromosomes so are called diploid or 2n cells. Thus, humans would have 44 + XX or 44 + XY chromosomes, and fruit flies would have 6 + XX or 6 + XY. Gametes or sex cells (eggs from female and sperm from male) have one chromosome from each autosome pair and one sex chromosome (one set of chromosomes), thus are called haploid or 1n. Human eggs would have 22 + X chromosomes, and human sperm would have 22 + X or 22 + Y chromosomes. Similarly, fruit fly eggs would have 4 + X chromsomes and their sperm would have 3 + X or 3 + Y chromosomes.
Meiosis is a special type of cell division that produces gametes with half as many chromosomes. The opposite process would be syngamy or fertilization, which is the union of the egg and sperm to restore the 2n number. This results in a zygote, the first cell formed by fertilization, a completely new and different organism with unique genetic information different from either parent. The zygote divides and grows to form an embryo which developes into a young organism, then an adult.
Life cycles of all sexually-reproducing organisms follow this pattern of alternation of generations. The 2n adult produces 1n gametes by the process of meiosis. These unite in the process of syngamy to produce a new 2n generation. Thus, the life cycles alternate between 1n and 2n stages, and between the processes of meiosis and syngamy. It is because of the way in which genes recombine in meiosis and syngamy that we have the whole study of genetics.
The steps in meiosis are similar to mitosis and even have the same names. However, there is a significant difference in how the chromosomes line up initially. In mitosis, chromosomes line up individually, while in meiosis, the two chromosomes in each homologous pair line up next to each other. This pairing process is called synapsis, and the resulting homologous pair is called a bivalent in reference to the two chromosomes or a tetrad in reference to the four sister chromatids involved.

Interphase is the same in both mitosis and meiosis, but in meiosis, it is followed by two cell divisions. These two division processes are referred to as Meiosis I and Meiosis II, and result in a total of four daughter cells, each with a 1n chromosome number.
In prophase I, notice the difference in how the homologous chromosomes behave. They come together and match up (synapsis) in pairs (tetrads or bivalents). In human females, this stage happens prior to birth when the ovaries are forming, and then stops. A baby girl is born with all the precursor egg cells she will ever have in a sort-of "suspended animation" until puberty (hence abdominal x-rays are dangerous for any young to middle-aged human female, not just pregnant women, and hence there is a greater likelihood that a 40-yr-old mother will have a baby with Down Syndrome – due to incorrect meiosis — than a 20-yr-old mother).
In metaphase I, the bivalents line up, not individual chromosomes, so there's a 50:50 chance of which chromosome of each pair faces which pole of the cell. Human "eggs" go about this far through meiosis before they are shed from the ovaries at ovulation.
In anaphase I, the homologous chromosomes separate, and one of each pair travels to each of the two poles of the cell, thereby reducing the chromosome number from 2n to 1n. Note that the sister chromatids stay together.
Two daughter cells are formed during telophase I. These usually go immediately into the second cell division (meiosis II) to separate the sister chromatids.
Meiosis II is pretty much like mitosis, in that the sister chromatids are separated. This results in four daughter cells, each with an 1n chromosome number. In human females, meiosis II in the precursor egg cells never happens until/if a sperm first enters the egg to fertilize it. Fertilization triggers Meiosis II, and then the sperm nucleus unites with the resulting egg nucleus. Thus, the unfertilized "eggs" that a woman sheds each month are not true eggs. Also in human females, division of the cytoplasm is not even. This provides a way of keeping as much cytoplasm as possible with the future egg/zygote. Rather than equal-sized gametes, one big egg and three smaller polar bodies with minimal cytoplasm are formed.
Interestingly, because the homologous pairs line up during Metaphase I, there is a 50:50 chance of which one of each pair will go to each of the poles of the cell (like flipping a coin, where you can get either heads or tails). Therefore, in humans with 23 pairs of chromosomes, a gamete (egg or sperm) could have 223 or 8,388,604 possible combinations of chromosomes from that parent. Any couple could have 223 × 223 or 70,368,744,177,644 (70 trillion) different possible children, based just on the number of chromosomes, not considering the actual genes on those chromosomes. Thus, the chance of two siblings being exactly identical would be 1 in 70 trillion. In addition, something called crossingover, in which the two homologous chromosomes of a pair exchange equal segments during synapsis in Meiosis I, can add further variation to an individual's genetic make-up.
Note this comparison between mitosis and meiosis.

The 18 wide fairways at Papio Greens Golf Center stretch toward smooth, par 3 greens designed to be manageable and challenging for both beginner and advanced players. Groundskeepers and staff have styled the complex as a place where families can take to the links together. Young golfers can be found preparing for their upcoming junior-league tournaments on the facility's water driving range, and adult players await their tee time by rehearsing bunker chips on the nearby practice green. Certified teaching pro Mike DeBoer teaches onsite clinics and private lessons that help beginners sharpen their swings and cut down on balls lost to the water hazards and intergalactic wormhole framing the course. Night or day, players can practice their putting beneath the lights that illuminate 36 holes of miniature golf.
Ultimate Baseball Academy's bullpen of coaches and professional and college players enlightens their athletic students in all aspects of their sport across a 55,000-square-foot facility. Batting cages rattle with the metal-pinging or wood-cracking ricochets of fair and foul hits, with baseball cages capable of four speed settings spanning from 40 to 80 miles per hour for experienced players and radar-gun calibration. Twenty-four training tunnels, five pitching machines, and a 150'x150' turf field set the stage for pedagogical sessions in techniques such as pitching, catching, hitting, and fielding, as well as training camps and clinics. The academy also organizes youth baseball and adult softball tournaments, pitting hopeful teams against each other in battles either to the top or to the top of the sportsmanship rankings.
Since 1925, the Dundee Theatre's gold curtains have been parting for generations of rapt audiences. Originally a vaudeville theater, the venue was transformed into a movie house during the Great Depression as a cost-cutting measure. For the next half century it traded hands, sometimes screening art films, sometimes featuring family fare, and once showing a 118-week run of The Sound of Music, which was eventually halted by a town statute banning raindrops on roses.
In 1980, current owner Denny Moran stepped in and renovated the theater to recapture some of the splendor of its early days. The old vaudevillian stage and dressing rooms still lurk behind the silver screen, counterbalanced by a state-of-the-art Dolby Digital EX sound system and Cyrano de Bergerac smell system. Under Moran's watch, the Dundee Theatre now screens an eclectic mix of art and independent films, cinema classics, and cult favorites.
Two-year-olds in HappyFeet soccer training sing "Roll, roll, roll your ball" to the tune of "Row, Row, Row Your Boat." The program's graduates, though, often go on to more sophisticated activities—such as collegiate and professional soccer careers and jobs kicking computers that won't work right. Founded by Andy Barney, the HappyFeet franchise encompasses two programs: one for tots aged 2–6 and Legends soccer for older youths. HappyFeet's coaches focus on childhood development while hosting onsite classes at preschools. Their curriculum fuses soccer drills with kid-friendly characters such as Gus the Gorilla. Meanwhile, the Legends program takes a more grownup approach, emphasizing the arts of dribbling, scoring, and evading opposing players with deft footwork.
Growing up in Las Vegas, Dr. Raymond Frye found himself drawn to bling at a young age. After training in general dentistry in Oregon, he decided to return to that youthful love of all things sparkly by imbuing his clients' teeth with an otherworldly glimmer. To that end, he created Bling Dental Products and launched a series of cosmetic-dental products such as the in-home Icing teeth-whitening kit, the Diamond ultrasonic toothbrush with UV sanitizer, and Shazzam teeth-whitening strips. Embarking on several projects, such as his pro-bono work in Brazil, Dr. Raymond's creations form an arsenal against dullness that aided in the gifting suite at the 2012 Academy Awards and help non-celebrity clientele flash a smile to gain entry to exclusive clubs and temporarily blind bouncers at movie-award ceremonies.
The YMCA of Greater Omaha brings people together at 10 locations with character-building programs that strengthen participants' involvement in their community. Adults can get a head start on their New Year's fitness resolutions with body sculpting, Pilates, and other tummy-toning group fitness classes, while kids can expend some energy at a drop-in child-care center that is free while parents work out. YMCA members also enjoy reduced rates on swim lessons and youth sports, as well as free senior programs. All locations except the LaFern Williams Y offer indoor pools for aquatic antics that cannot be properly enjoyed in a bathtub's limited splashing-real estate.

So I hate to ask this, but I'm throwing it out there anyhow -
I need to do a short camera test with a RED Epic for an upcoming shoot, but as is often the case, there is no budget for testing.
I need to get a few shots of a golf swing at 300fps.
Shouldn't take more than an hour or two at the most (scheduled around your availability obviously).
If any Epic owners in or around Austin are interested please drop me a line at:
luis (at) pitchproductions (dot) com.
You'll get my gratitude, a meal on me, and hopefully some cool slow mo footage.
(not the mention the karma points of helping out a fellow Austinite).
Thanks to anyone who even considers helping out.
Much appreciated.

Comment: I am new to the bike thing but I wanted to give it a go so I bought this jacket to match my helmet I have by the same company and I fell in love! The details on this jacket are so much neater in person! It has elbow, shoulder, and a back pad to keep ya safe, plus it's waterproof. Girls make sure you measure your bust cause I was going to go by size of my regular jackets which is a medium but I measured to make sure and I'm glad I did cause I got a large and it still fits me a little snug which is what you want anyway but a medium would of been too snug haha! And also another plus on this jacket is it has snaps at your waist and just under your bust so if you'd like to take it in at either spot for snugger fit or looser you can! It also has reflective spots on it so you can be seen at night! The only thing I can say I don't like with the jacket is that it's pretty stiff as a board but I've heard that most bike jackets are haha! Anyways hope this helps! Happy buying!

General Hospital Recaps
GH Week of February 11, 2008
At the meeting of the Five Families, Sonny kept his cool when Claudia walked
in and announced that she was a Zacchara. Sonny pulled no punches in
ordering Claudia to have her family stay out of his territory. Trevor showed
up and told the attendees that, on behalf of the Zacchara family, he just
acquired land near the railroad tracks, which borders the former Alcazar
pier property. When one of the crime lords threatened her, Claudia
physically got the better of him, silencing the room. She said there was
nothing else to talk about until the piers were acquired, then left. After
the meeting ended, Sonny went to Max and demanded to know where Jason was.
Sonny called Jason and said they need to get Ric's piers. Then, Claudia
called Sonny. "Well, isn't this interesting," she noted. They both agreed
that, if need be, they'd kill the other to get their own way.
In her hospital room, Sam was terrified to wake up and find the killer
standing over her bed. After whispering a threat, he ran off so no one was
able to witness the exchange. Ian entered and told Sam that he believed her
story. Sam was skeptical but he went to call the authorities. Ian returned
but didn't entered Sam's room when Jerry had stopped in to check on her.
Lucky arrived and questioned her but her story didn't seem to make sense.
Lucky filled in Alexis, who assumed the text-message killer was dead. Sam
was hurt that Lucky didn't believe her and asked if she needed to die in
order to prove she was telling the truth.
At Kelly's, Maxie relayed to Spinelli the details of Sam's attack. When she
stated that Sam injured the killer, Spinelli recalled that Logan had bruised
his ribs. Later, Maxie and Spinelli hid out in Maxie's car waiting to tail
Logan. When he pledged to find Georgie's killer, she pulled him into a kiss.
Just then, a cop knocked on the window. After the cop left, Maxie explained
that she kissed him to prevent the cop from blowing their stakeout. Spinelli
was obviously flustered. Later, he had a Bogart-esque fantasy about he and
Maxie. Then, when she made an innocent Chinatown remark, he got huffy, then
nervous, then weird. It appears Mr. Spinelli is strange new feelings about,
"The Bad Blond One."
Trevor threatened Marianna and ordered her to get the deeds to Ric's piers.
After the call ended, Ric entered with breakfast. They had a sweet chat
before he headed downstairs to speak to the front desk. When he returned,
Ric caught Marianna burning the pier deeds. He screamed at her to stop and
saved the paperwork. She countered that she was doing it for his own good.
Ric apologized, then noticed she has a bruise.
Elizabeth brought Cameron and Jake home for the first time since the fire.
"It looks as good as new," she noted. Nikolas stopped by to visit and Liz
was shocked that he hadn't scheduled his surgery yet. She reminded him that
Spencer needs him and he must go through with the surgery. He changed the
subject by asking if Liz would help with Spencer's birthday party, as he
turns two next week. Liz then filled Nik in about Sam's accident. He stated
that he, too, was on the road and wondered if he'd hit Sam during a
As Sam slept, Diane lectured Alexis on what a poor choice a man like Jerry
would be for her. Meanwhile, as Moreau, Jerry visited again with the
tattooed mystery man, who ordered Jerry to get control of the piers.
Jason called Liz, who told him about Nik's admission. She was feeling guilty
for Sam's accident but Jason stated she can't come clean for a crime if she
doesn't know for sure she committed it.
Trevor called Marianna back and said he's not going to ask her again to get
those deeds away from Ric.
At G.H., Epiphany was more argumentative than usual. Robin, Kelly and Regina
were concerned that she wasn't property grieving for her deceased son, Stan.
Shortly afterward, a package arrived for Epiphany. She opened it and saw it
was Stan's ashes. Upset, Epiphany berated Leyla for a minor infraction.
Patrick offered Leyla a sympathetic ear, which got a glare from Robin.
Luke went to Monica on Tracy's behalf but she wasn't interested in hearing
his speech. When he made no headway, Jason showed up and asked his mother
point blank if she hit Sam with her car. Monica refused to dignify the
question with an answer. When a frustrated Jason walked off, Monica took a
swig from her "water" bottle.
Patrick offered Sam a sympathetic shoulder, as she relayed to him how Lucky
still doesn't believe her about the killer.
At the PCPD, Alexis went to Mac with Sam's charges that the text-message
killer is still alive. Lucky admitted that he didn't file any new reports,
while Scott and Mayor Floyd were skeptical about the info. Lucky stated he'd
go back to check the docks for Sam's lost cell phone, while Alexis wanted
the case reopened but faced adversity from the disbelieving men.
Logan startled Lulu, who was standing alone on the bridge. She told Logan
that she shouldn't have given him another chance to hurt her in the first
place. He apologized for forcing himself on her when he didn't understand
her history (that her father had raped her mother.) Logan admitted he was
wrong and had to let her do the thing that he felt was the hardest — to
stand back and let her explore her feelings for Johnny.
Johnny went to G.H. and asked about Patrick some questions his father's
condition. "Is there any way he could really be getting better?" Johnny
wondered. Later, Johnny went to the roof where he hovered, and as he looked
down, Luke arrived. He joined Johnny sitting "on the edge," where Luke asked
Johnny his intentions for his daughter. He said he wanted to be with her
only if she'd never get hurt. Luke admitted that no one is safe when it
comes to love.
Jason came to Carly's house and wanted to talk in private. Michael gave her
a hard time before going up stairs. Jason then told Carly about Sam's
accident and wanted to know why she didn't report her own accident that
night. "Why do you even care?" Carly asked aloud. Carly told Jason she
didn't hit Sam and if she did, she wouldn't make it a secret. Jason left in
a huff. Upstairs, Michael took his one bullet and placed it in his newly
purchased gun, which he had hidden under his bed. Morgan burst in and
Michael kicked his little brother out of his room.
At G.H. Sam awoke from a nightmare and wanted to know why Elizabeth was
apologizing to her. Sam described her dream, just as Lucky entered. He said
he found Sam's phone; it was smashed.... Lulu showed up seeking romantic
advice from Carly.... Patrick overheard Robin tell Mac that the father of
her baby wasn't from the sperm bank.... As Epiphany cried over Stan's ashes,
she seemed to suffer a heart attack.... Liz told Lucky that she needed to
talk to him about something she'd done.... A gloved hand drank a beer while
looking over clippings of the text-message killer.
Jax and Kate met to discuss her magazine proposal and ended up talking about
Kate's dual life and her romantic history with Sonny. He liked her concept
and was willing to set her up with office space but she couldn't get her
mind off of Corinthos. Kate left the meeting to go find Sonny.
Diane and Alexis got together for dinner at the Lake House, where Diane
announced she was going to rep the ER bomber, Joe Smith, in suing the
hospital for turning away his pregnant wife. As the women chatted, Kristina
entered with flowers she picked. Alexis took a look outside and got spooked.
Unbeknownst to her, the text-message killer was lurking nearby. She shared
her concern with Diane, who turned off the lights, pulled out a gun and went
out back for a look. As Alexis told the girls to stay in their rooms, Diane
cold-cocked a man outside Alexis's house. Unfortunately, it was Mayor Floyd.
As Alexis helped him inside, Kristina looked out the window and screamed.
Jason visited Sam in the hospital to see if she knew anything more about who
hit her. Their talk didn't go well and Ian interrupted and threatened to
call the cops. Jason asked Sam to call him if she remembered anything and
Elizabeth almost came clean with Lucky about her activities the night of
Sam's hit and run, but when Lucky started quizzing her about Jason's
whereabouts, she clammed up.
Luke went to Sonny looking for a job but Sonny turned him away for his own
good. Luke then headed to Jake's for a drink and bumped into Claudia
Zacchara. Claudia immediately began pumping Luke for information about
Sonny. He warned her not to go after Sonny's family or she'd have to face
the consequences. After their chat, Luke asked Coleman for a job but just
got laughed at. Coleman said Luke would end up drinking all the profits.
Luke lamented about his new life with no work, no booze and no woman.
At G.H., Leo broke the news to Epiphany that she had suffered a heart
attack. Epiphany claimed it was just stress and kicked everyone out of her
room. Cassius chastised Epiphany for not taking better care of herself. The
staffers returned to give Epiphany their good wishes. She placed Liz in
charge in her absence and ordered everyone back to work.
Mike told Sonny about catching Michael trying to buy bullets on the docks.
Sonny was furious. Meanwhile, Morgan snuck into Michael's room and found the
gun hidden under his big brother's bed. Michael burst in and ripped the box
away from Morgan, chastising him and threatening to have him sold on the
Internet. Sonny arrived but Michael was able to cover up the box. Sonny
warned Michael again that he was, under no circumstances, to be playing with
guns. Michael said okay.
Jason entered Jake's, where Claudia challenged him to a game of pool.
At Jake's, Claudia bet Jason a dance on their game of pool. However, Spinelli interrupted and required a visit with the master. Claudia was upset that Jason didn't finish their game. Afterward, Jason told Spinelli there was something about Claudia that bugged him and he hoped to never see her again.
Tracy was surprised to find Luke working at Kelly's. He said he wanted to still provide for her. She scoffed and twisted her ankle getting up to leave. Luke suggested going to G.H., but Tracy said no way, due to Monica. When Tracy suggested that Monica may have hit Sam in a drunken stupor, Luke suggested that they investigate to use the information for leverage. Tracy liked the idea, but turned down Luke's offer to stay with him.
At the Lake House, Alexis comforted Kristina, who screamed after seeing the text-message killer lurking outside. Diane and Mayor Floyd wanted to check things out but Alexis kept everyone inside and called the police. Lucky and the cops arrived to ask questions, but Kristina refused to speak. Later, Kristina woke from a nightmare after recalling the killer's face.
At the coffeehouse, Kate and Sonny chatted about the old days and the choices they made in their lives. She then wished him a "Happy Valentine's Day" and planted a big ol' kiss on him. She asked him to admit he still loves her. He said nothing but did return another kiss. Afterward, Kate left and Claudia arrived. "I need something from you," Claudia cooed. They talked business, then Claudia commented that Kate still seemed to be in the picture. Sonny ordered her to stay away from Kate — or else.
At Kelly's, Maxie was stunned to find a Valentine's Day gift from Coop but wouldn't open it. Mac arrived and told her about the call at Alexis's house and acknowledged that Coop might not be the killer. He then advised her to open the gift. Maxie did. It was a beautiful necklace. Mac said Coop had asked him for a gift suggestion weeks ago. Mac held Maxie as she cried. Spinelli arrived and had a black and white fantasy about him and Maxie. When he sat down with her, she mentioned the attack at Alexis's house, noting that she's sure Coop was not the killer.
At G.H., Nadine was stunned to hear of Epiphany's heart attack and Ian was upset that Liz wouldn't help treat Sam. He put Liz in her place and told her to do her job. The women traded insults, then Nikolas arrived and asked to talk to Sam. Nik confessed to his cousin that he fears he may have hit her. Sam said that if he did, she would forgive him. Meanwhile, Jason told Liz that he checked out Nik's car and there was no bumper damage so it couldn't have been him who hit Sam.
Carly and Robin ran into each other in prenatal and learned the other was pregnant. The women sniped until Jax and Patrick broke things up. Afterward, Jax took Carly out for a trashy Valentine's evening at Jake's while Patrick gave Robin flowers for the occasion.
In Michael's room, Carly and Jax discussed the boy, who charged in and yelled at them to get out. Michael proceeded to berate his mother and Jax, who were both quite angry with him. Once they left him alone, Michael retrieved the pistol from his drawer and stuck it in his knapsack.... Jason was alarmed when Sonny mentioned that Michael had been caught with bullets. "I don't want him to be like me," sighed the mobster. Sonny went on to order Jason to get Spinelli to investigate Claudia's background.
At Crimson Pointe, Johnny told Claudia that he was angry because she'd been gone for so many years. Claudia assured her brother that she loves him. He observed that she has a cynical view of love. She then questioned him about Sonny. He filled her in on Sonny's relationship with Ric and Trevor. "We have some planning to do," she smirked.
At GH, an ashen, frail Sam lurked as Elizabeth assured Nikolas that he is not the one responsible for Sam's car accident. Sam hobbled up and said that for once she agrees with Liz: Nikolas should not blame himself until the driver's identity is revealed. He was still troubled by his blackout.
Alexis tried to get a traumatized Kristina to eat breakfast, but the girl wasn't responsive. Sonny visited, but could not get Kristina to open up, either. Kate, who had come to see Alexis, walked in; Alexis left her alone with Sonny. They discussed whether little Kristina had seen the text-message killer. A heart-to-heart ensued and Kate told Sonny that she wanted a new slow-paced life with him in it. Sonny basically told her that he had to focus on business right now. Afterward, Alexis told Sonny that he's lucky to have a woman like Kate.
Maxie arrived at the hospital and asked Robin to identify the pill she'd found. Robin showed the pill to Dr. Devlin, who said he could do it. It's a clinical-research drug, not yet available in the U.S. The doc asked if Maxie's boyfriend (whom she claimed the pill belonged to) was in the military. He mentioned that it is used on the black market as a performance-booster in the trenches, adding that one of the side effects is that your body begins to secrete "a sweet smell." "Oh, my God," gasped Maxie before gabbing the bottle and running out.
At Kelly's, Spinelli warned Lulu to be extra careful, tentatively dancing around before admitting that he and Maxie had been sleuthing and believe Logan is the killer. He rattled off all the clues they'd gathered, but Lulu argued that it's not real proof. Then she rushed out of the diner.
Claudia ran into Jason on the docks and got a little flirty, suggesting that they could have some fun. She mentioned that she didn't know his name. "Maybe that should tell you something," he responded before taking off.... Lulu crept into Logan's apartment where she spotted a bottle of pills and a box containing incriminating items. Logan walked in on her.
When Michael was at practice, Carly and Jax searched his room, thinking they might find drugs, but the room was clean. She mentioned the Taylor Building, saying she was interested in it. Carly smirked when Jax told her that Kate wants to buy that building; he warned her not to turn it into a competition.
Nikolas collapsed at the hospital. He got sweaty and trembled as he whispered that he could see "it," which turned out to be Emily at the ball.... As Spinelli told a shocked Jason that Claudia is Zacchara's daughter, Claudia visited Sonny and revealed a skimpy red dress.... On the docks, Michael prepared to dispose of the gun, but he dropped the pistol a shot was fired.

It's caucus day in Iowa, but residents of the Hawkeye State have a different reason to be excited. Land values have risen by as much as 30 percent in the last year. It seems, despite the caucus, the hottest selling thing in Iowa right now is not political dirt, but 'dirt' dirt. Veteran auctioneer Jeff Obrecht sells an acre of land for as much as $13,450. Rock Center's Harry Smith points out what makes a bid. Sometimes all it takes is a wink and a nod.

The more things change, the more they stay the same. A hundred years ago a Lassen County newspaper editor complained, "the vagaries of California legislation are remarkable. They might be said to be laughable if they did not cost the people so much hard cash."
The editor railed about expensive highway laws which could not be enforced, a countywide ordinance prohibiting the shipment of game out of the county — despite the fact such laws had been declared unconstitutional by the state supreme court — and a new voter registration law set to go into effect on Jan. 1, 1900. The editor referred to this legislation as "bungling."
85 years agoJimmy Morrison, known around Susanville as SP Jimmy, was shot by an unknown Native American who demanded his money.
Morrison encountered the Native American in his yard, but he said he didn't understand what the man wanted. As Morrison stooped to pick up some blocks laying in front of his house so he could build a fire before he retired, the Native American fired a handgun. The bullet grazed Morrison's head, but he was able to return home after receiving medical treatment. Morrison was either "unable or too scared" to identify his attacker from two or three suspects rounded up by Sheriff Parker.
60 years ago
A 50-foot Christmas tree adorned with colored lights was erected by a volunteer crew of city firemen at the corner of Main and Lassen streets. The firefighters added extra limbs to the tree, after some boughs were broken when a fire truck slipped in the mud as the tree was being raised, damaging it and leaving "a rather scraggly appearance."
35 years ago
A timber company executive told California legislators, "we have the necessary laws and sufficient knowledge to increase greatly the contribution of the commercial forest lands of the National Forests to the nation's welfare."
George Craig, executive vice president of the Western Timber Association, also told the legislators although the opportunity is there, "much of the effort is being stifled by the actions of preservationists" — whom he called those who want to prevent "the optimum use of timber resources."
20 years ago
California Highway Patrol Commander Maury Hanningan said the state's new drunk driving law declared an all-out war on drunk drivers.
He said the state's new lower threshold of .08 percent blood alcohol content which went into effect Jan. 1, 1990, was a more accurate indicator than the current threshold of .10 percent. Hanningan said medical research shows drivers are a menace when they reach .08 percent. The commander said under the old regulation a 160-pound person could probably consume four drinks in a two-hour period, but under the new regulation, consumption would drop to three drinks in a four-hour period.
10 years ago
Does the California Department of Corrections' new use of force policy leave the state's correctional officers in harm's way?
The question is one of increasing concern here in Susanville in the aftermath of a bloody brawl at the High Desert State Prison Facility D Yard on Nov. 22, that resulted in the injury of nearly two dozen inmates and correctional officers.
According to Terry Thornton, a spokeswoman from the California Department of Corrections' Sacramento headquarters, about 150 inmates were on the HDSP Facility D Yard when officers responded to an assault incident involving three white inmates. A prisoner-made weapon was found and a weapons search of all inmates on the yard was ordered.
A year ago
A local resident wants to know who is messing up the bright blue skies above Lassen County and why no one is doing anything about it.
"I'm a nobody," said Greg Smith, "but I'm also a truth seeker. I moved here 20 years ago for the blue skies and the beautiful weather. It really angers me that somebody is turning our blue skies a creamy white."
Smith acknowledges he doesn't know who is responsible for the emissions from jets that frequently seem to morph into clouds above Lassen County.
To the conspiracy theorists and the guests on late night radio talk shows, they're called chemtrails. Nobody knows for sure, but the conspiracy buffs say the chemtrails could be anything or everything from cloud seeding to weather modification to mind control to some advanced star wars weapons system to radar jamming to government black operations and more.

Nothing to watch in one-sided World Cup final

This month I bought my first version of Burdastyle magazine. I can't believe you get so many patterns, amazing! I decided to try this low back top first, and was keen to use stripes and make a Breton top. I added a band to the neckline, which i didn't put in perfectly, and the sleeves are a little baggy, but actually despite this I really like it. My husband came home and told me he liked it, so that means it's ok ;)
I can't wait to give the rest of the patterns a go :)

Fantastic fabric. Did you hem the sleeve's/bottom? Or leave it raw. I always have difficulty with the hems on knit fabrics – but your top looks great.
May 31, 2013, 09.12 AMby katya
I hemmed the sleeves with a twin needle, but I don't really like the effect so I left the bottom unhemmed. I think it looks ok :) Glad you like the top!
May 30, 2013, 11.42 AMby misumihaela
The top its great but I would never wear it with a bra!
May 30, 2013, 12.04 PMby katya
Sadly, I don't have much of a choice in the matter, I definitely can't go bra-less. I don't mind it with a top underneath, and I think it would look great over a bikini :)

Nice job! I didn't look twice at that pattern in the magazine, but after seeing your version, I might give it a go. I love the stripes and you lined them all up perfectly.

Featured reports from just-style's research store this week include a risk analysis of the apparel supply chain, a global market review of performance outdoor apparel, and a look at China's textile clothing manufacturing industry.

In this first-edition report, just-style has created six supply chain cost models to illustrate the differences between the supply price from different countries and the effect of changes to those cost elements. These cost models allow you to see what effects certain scenarios have on a typical supply chain. The scenarios include using local materials, a doubling in fibre prices, doubling in wages, a trebling in shipping and a combination of all - the "perfect storm".
