WASHINGTON - President Barack Obama's State of the Union address represented a study in scaled-down ambition.
WASHINGTON � President Barack Obama�s State of the Union address represented a study in scaled-down ambition.
A man who entered the White House yearning for sweeping achievements finds himself five years later threatening an end run around gridlock on Capitol Hill by using executive orders, essentially acknowledging both the limits of his ability to push an agenda through Congress and the likelihood that future accomplishments will be narrow.
He urged Republicans to join him in a �year of action� but signaled strongly that he will act unilaterally when bipartisan agreement is out of reach.
Executive orders such as the one he will employ to raise the minimum wage paid by federal contractors might be the only route available to the president, given deep hostility from the Republican majority in the House and a Congress increasingly focused on the 2014 elections rather than his legacy.
But with notable exceptions, only so much can be delivered through the president�s pen if he is not using it to sign legislation. He cannot raise the minimum wage for most workers, overhaul the Social Security system, grant legal status to millions of undocumented immigrants, reorder spending and taxes or even make necessary fixes to the health-care law.
Illustrating how challenging it is to use executive orders in an expansive way, the White House refused to say how many workers might be affected by the new wage policy, and Republicans, while criticizing the move, played down its impact.
At the same time, anyone who succeeds Obama can use the same stroke of a pen to undo his actions, just as Obama did to some Bush administration policies one day after his inauguration in 2009.
�There is nothing like legislation,� said Rahm Emanuel, Chicago�s mayor, Obama�s first chief of staff and a former House member who advocates the strong use of executive power. �But given the challenges that are mounting, the country cannot afford Congress to go MIA.�
When it comes to Congress, the formula for success in dealing with a balky opposition continues to elude the White House, except perhaps for a new opening with Republicans on immigration.
Despite the modest budget and spending deal completed this month, Congress seems more of a legislative graveyard than ever. Lawmakers cannot find a way to extend emergency jobless benefits even when leaders of both parties say that the aid should and could be approved. If Congress cannot advance economic and social policy that Democrats and Republicans essentially embrace and that would be a political victory for both parties, how can real disagreement be bridged?
Finding consensus gets harder from here. The midterms are taking over the conversation on Capitol Hill, intensifying scrutiny on every legislative vote and making lawmakers even more reluctant to take chances. The growing sense that Republicans have a chance to win the Senate in November raises the prospect that the president�s final two years could be consumed by veto fights with opposition majorities in the House and Senate.
Republicans say they see the president�s focus on executive action as abandoning efforts to work with them. The approach will feed the conservative narrative that Obama is engaged in a power grab and is ignoring constitutional limits. They point for validation to the so-far-successful legal challenge to his use of recess appointments in a case now before the Supreme Court.
�We�re going to watch very closely because there�s a Constitution that we all take an oath to, including him, and following that Constitution is the basis for our republic, and we shouldn�t put that in jeopardy,� Speaker John Boehner of Ohio said.
Rep. Joseph Crowley, D-N.Y., conceded that governance by executive order is not ideal but said it is justifiable, given the depth of GOP opposition.
�This is not a panacea; this is not the fix we are looking for,� he said of the president�s action on wages. �But he is leading by example, sending a message to Congress that we need to raise the minimum wage for all Americans.�
But for Obama, who began his presidency with a gauzy vision of a post-partisan brand of politics that proved to be unrealistic, leading through executive order is not what he had in mind.

Faced with the sluggish economy, a changing regulatory climate, shifting patient expectations and new forms of competition, today's optometrists are getting more creative in their approach to both clinical and business matters. Whether it's improving their diagnostic skills, implementing new technologies in the exam room or office, employing the latest management techniques or raising the level of patient care, forward-thinking ODs are pushing ahead with fresh ideas. They are the focus of our second annual Optometric Business Innovators report, a special collaborative project between Vision Monday and Review of Optometric Business. Each month for the rest of the year, ROB will profile the honorees in various categories–business management, optical dispensing, digital media, marketing, the patient experience, influencers and contact lenses. This month: doctors recognized for innovation in the patient experience.
"Patients are not just a pair of eyes. You need to look at them as whole people."
After several decades of building up a successful optometric practice, Michael J. Dunn, OD, found that the pathway to personal success lay in a rededication to the "roots of optometry." In his practice, The Family Vision Center, in Lubbock, Texas, he concentrates on providing primary eyecare to families, as well as low vision therapy, vision training and nutritional counseling—and not selling eyewear.
In order to focus on these fundamentals of the profession, Dunn dramatically downsized a practice that had grown to employ 17 and which maintained files on 30,000 patients. He closed his dispensary, allowing him also to dispense with staff and its management challenges. Now he sees about 2,000 patients a year with a staff of just two: he and his wife, Cindy, an optician by background who also is trained in T'ai Chi Chih, a form of movement and a healing art similar to the martial art, T'ai Chi.
"The key difference is that I now spend at least a half-hour to 45 minutes with each patient," said Dunn, who entered practice in 1976 after graduating from the University of Houston School of Optometry. He feels his approach, which builds for stronger doctor-patient bonds, suits both new and established practices.
Many of Dunn's active patients are seniors, and he offers treatment services for macular degeneration and low vision. Dunn is enthusiastic about the success he has had in two other areas: corneal refractive therapy (CRT) and nutritional counseling. Paragon Optical named him CRT Practitioner of the Year in 2008, and he cites many instances of patients eliminating up to 6.0D of myopia with overnight use of reverse geometry rigid contact lenses.
If one thing differentiates Dunn's practice, in this town of 230,000 with a concentration of medical centers, it is the patient experience which is notably more personal and satisfying with his holistic approach.
"I try to understand my patient's total health history and recommend lifestyle changes and nutrients to support their needs," said Dunn.
Independent Practitioner
Henrietta, New York
"If you do your best every day and give the patient the best exam they've ever had, you'll never have to worry about patient flow."
Private practice optometrists and optical retail chains are usually competitors, but not so for Vince Graniero, OD. For more than 20 years, he has operated a successful, high-volume practice within a LensCrafters store in Henrietta, a suburb of Rochester, NY.
"We have a sublease within LensCrafters, so we're private within a corporate setting," he explained.
"It is a huge benefit because LensCrafters is a well-known name. Thirty five percent of our patient base on a daily basis is walk-in traffic. When they're shopping and in need of an eye exam, we can see them the same day. That generates lot of new patients."
Graniero said that maximizing efficiency has been a key to the success of his practice. His team of three full-time optometrists, including himself, and two part-time ODs, see patients seven days a week. He also employs a full support staff to handle pre-testing and check patients' insurance.
The practice, which has been computerized since 2008, recently began using My Vision Express practice management software. The software allows patients to make appointments online, and then sends them reminders by e-mail and phone. It even enables Graniero to book appointments during an eye exam.
Advanced technology such as an Optos retinal scanner also plays an important role.
"We capture about 65 percent to 75 percent of our patients with the Optos," said Graniero. "That's huge in itself, and it generates a lot of referrals. We were the first practice in Rochester to use it."
"Recognize what patients and clients need and desire, then establish programs that exceed their expectations and success will follow."
While much of his experience with patients has resulted from his having founded a five-location primary eyecare group practice in Minnesota and managing it for 20 years, John Lahr, OD, FAAO, now has an impact on far more patients as the medical director for EyeMed Vision Care. With approximately 159 million members, this vision benefits company provides access to thousands of private practice and retail-affiliated network providers.
As medical director of this massive organization, Lahr sees optometry's role as being instrumental in health care reform and inherently involved with health risk assessment. He cited recent studies indicating increased incidence of diabetes and prevalence of cardiovascular disease risk factors among US adolescents as illustrative of areas in which optometry can participate with other medical professions in determining who is at risk and helping to monitor disease progression.
"Optical is in a unique position to be able to assess diabetes, hypertension and high cholesterol," he said. "Whatever we see in the eye is probably the same level of disease in the kidneys, liver and toes, for example."
He described some steps that he and EyeMed are taking to participate in health risk assessment. "I sat in on several health coordination conferences where the employer brings all health care vendors to a meeting," he said. "You have a medical carrier, dental carrier, you might have a psychology group, and you have vision, and we all discuss who is sharing information. Most of the time we're the provider of unique data sets they haven't seen before." He sees this as only the beginning.
"Take the time to listen and respond to your patients and you will be rewarded."
When trying to create a positive experience for patients, many optometrists redesign their office, purchase new, high tech equipment or employ the latest voice and text messaging services. Brian Spittle, OD, takes a different approach.
"As odd as it may sound, we try to improve the patient experience by improving the employee experience," said Spittle, who has grown his private practice in Midlothian, Va., more than seven times over since he bought it eight years ago. "Keeping staff morale high has allowed us to greet patients with a smile and resulted in a tremendous volume of referrals because enthusiasm is contagious."
Focusing on customer service, communicating precisely to patients and providing quality care has been the key to growth of the practice, which Spittle co-owns with his wife, optometrist Norma Spittle, OD. "The easiest way to be successful in business is to find a niche with minimal competition," he said. "For us, that niche is a business based on honest communication."
Spittle described his patient base as "young, middle-to-upper class and somewhat trendy." To appeal to this demographic, he has created an aesthetically designed office environment that features pleasant scents (a lavender-vanilla mix) and soft rock music. The entire facility is "green," as well, which many patients view as a plus.

A Proposal: Let's Not Be Scandalized by Something That Happened at the VMAs
It's Monday morning after the MTV Video Music Awards, which means that the Internet's choice for outrageous, sharable VMA video of the year has already made its way through your various feeds. Yes, that old, familiar feeling is back. You click on Miley Cyrus' performance of "We Can't Stop" and "Blurred Lines," sense memory takes over, and all of a sudden you find your fingers instinctively fluttering to your mouth as you wallow in a bath of titillation and outrage. She was on some Disney show once!
Yes, yes, I know you want it—to feel scandalized. But may I offer an alternative, one that may be less immediately exciting but ultimately more fulfilling? Try not caring. Step back and really look at the performance. If it were anywhere but the VMAs, we would not be that interested in a mediocre pop star in a beige bathing suit rattling her butt at Alan Thicke's son in an inept attempt at eroticism. We certainly wouldn't call it "X-rated." If you want to see something actually sexy, try porn. Or HBO. Or just wander into any dance club in any major city and see people who can dance better than Cyrus and actually make it hot.
Being outraged at some nonsense at the VMAs is becoming one of our nation's more embarrassing traditions. It's easy to understand why. It's August, people are bored, and getting all bent out of shape about nothing is a way to pass the time. But it has to stop! If you look back at some previous VMA scandals, you'll see how dumb they always are in retrospect. We as a nation allowed ourselves to get homophobic about Madonna kissing Britney Spears. We had a coast-to-coast panic because Kanye West said something that everyone secretly had to admit was true. We've been sucked into scandals that turned out to have been staged. And what was even remotely upsetting about the inaugural VMA outrage—Madonna rolling around on the floor in a bridal gown singing "Like A Virgin"? Most brides aren't virgins? My eyes! (Meanwhile, the real scandal—that there are still video music awards on a channel that doesn't play music videos—is such a given that it goes largely uncommented upon.)
Miley Cyrus was so obviously trying to push your buttons, people. Teddy bears to stripping? Oldest trick in the book! She's insulting our intelligence to think that we'd be scandalized by such an obvious ploy. Don't let her win.

Tupperware CEO Blasts Cheap US Consumers
Rick Goings blames a 'Wal-Mart market' for his company's problems but ignores its dated domestic image.
As Tom Gara at the Wall Street Journal gleaned from Tupperware (NYSE:TUP) chief executive Rick Goings' Tuesday earnings call, he's not exactly happy with the buying habits of the average cheese-product-eating, soda-swilling, dollar-store-dwelling American.
In fact, in a quarterly report made available on Seeking Alpha and dominated by the 60% of Tupperware's business from emerging markets in South America and Asia and its growth in European countries like Germany, Goings bluntly explained to Bank of America Merrill Lynch analyst Olivia Tong why his mix of products isn't succeeding in the US:
We are a high-quality product and a brand. Why do we do better in Europe than we do in the US? Hey, take a look at the average brand of cab that you get in the New York cities. I mean, they're filthy, they're junk. Get in a cab over here, it's a Mercedes or an Audi. The USA is basically a Wal-Mart (NYSE:WMT) market. Our top-tier products like the Microsteamer or the Ultraplus that are 100-year-old products, hard to sell them in the US, because that's a discount market over there.
That most Americans have no idea what the Microsteamer reheatable steamer/colander and Ultra Plus casserole dish lines are bolsters his point a bit. Still, The Huffington Post argues that most Americans aren't springing for $30 steamers they can hand down to the grandkids, because the money just isn't there.
The Social Security Administration puts the median annual wage at $26,965, while the Corporation for Enterprise Development notes that most Americans are one emergency away from financial ruin. Combined with stagnant unemployment numbers and a recent downturn in the gross domestic product, the loss of the payroll tax break has taken a toll on US consumer confidence.
But that's letting US consumers off a bit too easy. As Goings says, "Europe buys quality, Japan buys quality." As the Guardian acknowledges, Japan just fell into a recession, while Europe's austerity measures and bailouts couldn't prevent a double-dip recession there. The US isn't the only nation going through hard times, yet it's the one coping with disposable plastic from the supermarket instead of slightly costlier product that will last far longer.
What that has to do with the brand or reliability of cabs in either market is still anyone's guess, but the greater point about Americans' fear of the up-front cost shouldn't be lost on a country that made Wal-Mart the largest retailer in the nation and No. 2 on the Fortune 500 one cheap plastic resin chair at a time. Just because it's true, however, doesn't make it a great thing to say to potential customers.
Nor does that truth make it Tupperware's only problem in the US market. Sure, its products aren't cheap, but they're also attached to a dated image of mid-century American domesticity that no longer exist. Those Betty Draper-style semi-mute subservient housewives in pearls have faded into suburban history and aren't throwing Tupperware parties anymore. Even Goings admits that one of his "dumb" decisions in the US was "recruiting younger women by giving her products that a 50-plus-year-old woman would like." Maybe American consumers can do better than a $1.99 pack of disposable plastic containers, but why should they buy Tupperware if the product they're being sold doesn't differ much from the sets their parents and grandparents are handing down for free?

As you can imagine, Missoni x Target is probably the most excited I've ever been for a collaboration. Not only because I live for Missoni, but this collaboration is a complete lifestyle collection. Missoni homewear anyone? Or a multicolor zig zag bike? Yes and YES! (and I don't even ride bikes)
So how pumped was I when the Missoni for Target ad photos leaked today? You have no idea…especially because my fashion icon Margherita herself is modeling the collection.
Note to self: matching your dress, headband AND suitcase totally works.

You may travel about in the land for four months and know that you cannot thwart Allah, and that Allah will humiliate the unbelievers. ( Surat at-Tawba, 9:2)
Humiliation is one of the punishments that Allah sends to unbelievers in this world. For unbelievers who are devoted to ostentation and seeking others' approval, humiliation is a very severe punishment. In the Qur'an, Allah describes this punishment, as follows:
Those before them also denied the truth, and the punishment came upon them from where they did not expect. So Allah made them taste disgrace in the life of the world, and the punishment of the Hereafter is far worse, if they only knew. ( Surat az-Zumar, 39:25-26)
Allah manifests this attribute through believers and especially through those of His Messengers. The following verses call attention to this fact, as follows:
... Allah will punish them at your hands, disgrace them, help you against them, and heal the hearts of those who believe. He will remove the rage from their hearts. Allah turns to anyone He wills. Allah is All-Knowing, All-Wise. ( Surat at-Tawba, 9:14-15)
"Return to them. We will come to them with troops they cannot face, and will expel them from it, abased and humiliated." ( Surat an-Naml, 27:37)
On the other hand, in many verses Allah gives the news of a degrading punishment awaiting unbelievers in the Hereafter, one that they deserve because of their arrogance and pride in this world. As stated earlier, one of the unbelievers' major goals is to gain other people's appreciation, and so they praise themselves rather than glorify Allah. Thus, Allah makes humiliation the essence of their punishment in Hell, for their humiliation in front of other people will cause them to experience the greatest anguish. One verse reads:
On the Day when those who were unbelievers are exposed to the Fire: "You dissipated the good things you had in your worldly life, and enjoyed yourself in it. So today you are being repaid with the punishment of humiliation for being arrogant in the land, without any right, and for being deviators." ( Surat al-Ahqaf, 46:20)
The humiliation and abasement experienced in Hell is unprecedented and of various kinds. This humiliation will even manifest itself upon their bodies. For example, dust and debasement will darken their faces, as the following verses reveal:
Some faces on that Day will be downcast. ( Surat al-Ghashiya, 88:2)
But as for those who have earned bad actions—a bad action will be repaid with one like it. Debasement will darken them. They will have no one to protect them from Allah. It is as if their faces were covered by dark patches of night. Those are the Companions of the Fire, remaining in it timelessly, forever. (Surah Yunus, 10:27)
While manifesting His attribute of al-Mudhhill upon unbelievers, Allah manifests His names of ar-Rahman and ar-Rahman ar-Raheem upon believers. By granting His Paradise and mercy, our Lord purifies them of all forms of evil. Contrary to the unbelievers' humiliation, Allah will grant His sincere servants His good pleasure, Paradise , and blessings.2009-08-19 11:36:08

External hemorrhoids (a single lesion is shown here) are found below the dentate line (the division between squamous epithelium distally and transitional columnar epithelium proximally) and so are covered by skin. Patients experience significant pain when external hemorrhoids are dilated and thrombosed—conditions that stretch the overlying skin.

March 10 – What role did religion play in your family? How did your female ancestors practice their faith? If they did not, why didn't they? Did you have any female ancestors who served their churches in some capacity?
As far as I know religion has not played a significant role in my family. We are C of E (Church of England) which is the Anglican denomination. But we are not really churchgoers apart from attending Baptisms, Marriages and Funerals. It's not because we are not religious in any way. We all have our own beliefs and as one family member puts it, "I don't have to attend church to show my religious beliefs or pray".
I have not really come across any particular females in my ancestors who were anything other than churchgoers. I have several male ancestors who were Church Wardens for their churches.
But, there is one female ancestor, that I have already mentioned here in this theme for Women's History Month for March 8th, who probably did serve her church in some capacity. That is Annie Humphreys, whose diary extract I have mentioned in a post for March 8th and also under my menu for Pages, Old Documents.
In one of Annie's extracts dated January 1866 she says:
Jan.: Went to a "Dorcas" Meeting at Stockwell Lane, a great many ladies present. Worked until 8.
Stockwell Lane is in Princes Risborough, Buckinghamshire, UK and as I did not know what a "Dorcas" Meeting was I looked it up on the internet. The Wikipedia states the following:
Dorcas Society
A Dorcas Society is a local group of people, usually based in a Church, with a mission of providing clothing to the poor.
So it looks as though my ancestor Annie Humphreys did serve her church although I have no idea if she continued attending "Dorcas" Meetings, as I have not seen her Diary for myself.

WASHINGTON -- Depending on who's counting, the Senate has approved a fiscal 2006-2010 budget resolution that would require agriculture spending cuts from $5.2 billion to $6.2 billion less than President Bush proposed in the budget he submitted to Congress in February.
Senate Republicans agreed with a request by Sen. Saxby Chambliss, R-Ga., chairman of the Senate Agriculture Committee, to put agriculture's share of the deficit reduction efforts at $2.8 billion. The president's proposal reportedly would have resulted in savings of an estimated $8 billion to $9 billion over five years.
The House-passed budget plan requires agriculture spending cuts of $5.3 billion over five years despite the efforts of Rep. Jo Ann Emerson, R-Mo., and other farm-state congressmen to reduce the figure to the level in the Senate version.
Chambliss said the Senate vote maintains authority for the Senate Agriculture Committee to look for deficit reduction within different areas of agriculture spending without changing the current farm bill.
"I was at the table when the 2002 farm bill was negotiated for our farmers, and we are going to keep the current policy of the farm bill in place," said Chambliss. "I would rather not have any cuts, but being fiscally responsible is just as important as writing a good farm bill. We are going to be fair and equitable in every area."
Chambliss said the Senate resolution version of a $2.8 billion share for agriculture out of all federal spending cuts means less government borrowing which can lead to favorable interest rates for farmers and ranchers.
The House plan, which was approved by a vote of 218-214, would require $707 million in savings in fiscal 2006, which begins Oct. 1. After failing to pass amendments that would have reduced the agricultural reductions, Rep. Emerson voted against the budget resolution.
The Senate blueprint would require $171 million in mandatory cuts for fiscal 2006.
Sens. Max Baucus, D-Mont., and Kent Conrad, D-N.D., offered an amendment that would have removed any cuts in agricultural spending from the budget plan, but the measure was defeated by a vote of 54-46.
"We are very disappointed the Senate rejected this amendment to eliminate the huge cuts in agricultural spending called for in the Senate budget legislation," said Dave Frederickson, president of the National Farmers Union.
"Congress and the president made a commitment to rural America in the 2002 farm bill to adequately fund farm, nutrition, conservation, research and rural development programs through 2007. Passage of this budget reneges on that promise and re-opens the farm bill after three years."
The Senate budget also contains non-binding "Sense of the Senate" language that "any reconciled mandatory agriculture savings required under this resolution should be primarily achieved through modifications to the payment limitation provisions of the Food Security and Rural Investment Act of 2002."
Leaders of the House and Senate, which recessed for the Easter holidays following the votes, must select a conference committee to resolve the differences in their approaches to deficit reduction.
In other budget developments, the American Farm Bureau Federation sent a letter to the Senate and House agriculture committees and appropriations committees laying out reasons why Congress should maintain or increase discretionary funding for several agencies and programs.
"Farm Bureau has identified three areas as priorities for discretionary funding in fiscal year 2006," the letter said. "They are: BSE and animal identification, programs to increase agricultural exports and crop protection."
The letter includes specific dollar budget requests and explanations about what shortfalls in funding will mean to American farmers and ranchers. This funding is separate from mandatory funding voted on in the budget resolutions of both the Senate and House before the Easter recess.
"Industry estimates of the U.S. Animal Identification Plan forecast an ongoing cost of about $100 million per year to effectively implement such a system," it said. "If the government were to fund $33 million each year (the same as their FY05 and FY06 requests), two-thirds of the cost of the National Animal Identification System would be funded by producers and affected industries.
"Farmers and ranchers cannot afford to bear the brunt of the cost of this program, especially when most of the benefit will accrue to the general public," AFBF reports.
"We support an increase of $7.5 million for an enhanced bovine spongiform encephalopathy research program. The additional research funding would allow Agriculture Research Service scientists to increase our understanding of the disease and develop the technology needed by regulatory agencies to establish science-based policies and control programs."
The letter also said funding for Biotech Regulatory Service personnel and activities are essential for ensuring public confidence and international acceptance of biotechnology products. AFBF supports increased spending of $4.5 million in this area because it will enable the USDA to increase inspections of genetically modified crop field test sites and enhance its capacity to regulate transgenic animals, arthropods and disease agents."
Farm Bureau identified the following as essential for the well-being of farm communities.
-- Federal biodiesel use and other renewable fuels.
-- Animal identification implementation.
-- BSE-related testing, research and facilities.
-- Economic benefit and scientific analysis for registering crop protection products.
-- Integrated pest management and pesticide minor use research and implementation.
-- State Cooperative Extension services.
-- Export development and expansion consistent with World Trade Organization agreements.
-- Plant and animal health monitoring and pest detection.
-- Trade issues resolution and management.

I'm just finding a few minutes to write my latest post about how I went down to help Kerstin Rodgers -aka MsMarmitelover– at her Thatcher Tea party last Saturday. I caught the train from Leeds to London on the Friday afternoon with a few tea loaves that I'd made earlier in the week.
During the afternoon I baked Grantham Gingerbread biscuits and other biscuits which we iced between us.
Kerstin painstakingly made 8 Thatcher pops, which took an hour each to make, yet each one had character.
The morning came and further baking was done. I made some Cheese scones with a dash of mustard and grated chedder cheese. Kerstin made Margaret Thatcher's own recipe of Orange & Walnut Cake.
Kerstin horizontally sliced one of my tea loaves in half, dipped it in chocolate and created a money chest.
With salmon & cream cheese sandwiches along Kerstin's signature marmite sandwiches, mini cupcakes a topped with sweet milk bottles, we were ready for Kerstin's guests to arrive.
Kerstin managed to take time out to chat with her guests while I made sure the the tea kept coming.
By 6:30 it was time for me to leave and catch the train home, so I bid farewell to Kerstin and her guests and hot footed it to Kings Cross station and the journey home to Leeds, forgetting to take one of the Grantham Gingerbread biscuits that I'd made, to eat on the train home. Never mind, I'll make some another time for the Secret Tea Room.
A thoroughly enjoyable time, but baking with an Aga, a fine piece of machinery, is something I will never get used to. The constant opening of oven doors is not conducive to good baking. Unless they create one with a glass oven door.

What do you get when you simultaneously bring together hundreds of families across three time zones under the glow of a full moon? An event that is truly something to HOWL about!
On Saturday, October 19, 2013, our ten Great Wolf Lodge resorts across the United States offered a unique challenge to our guests: come together for the chance to set a new world record for the most people howling at the same time.
Earlier this year, we read about a record attempt in St. Cloud, Minn where students from St. Cloud State University gathered together to set a record for most people howling. Their event attracted 296 people.
Howling is a fun tradition at Great Wolf Lodge resorts. Guests stomp, clap and howl alongside Wiley the Wolf and his cast of lovable characters every day. It is a part of the Great Wolf Lodge experience.
Each October the resorts also all celebrate Howl-O-Ween, complete with trick or treating through the lodges, Monster Bash dance parties and more. After reading about that record attempt in Minnesota, we knew we could not only beat that record – but also set a new one that would REALLY have everyone howling!
When planning a world record attempt, in order to "beat" the existing record, you must re-create the same circumstances as the original. For us, that meant bringing everyone together in one spot, outside and having them howl for 60 seconds. The full moon provided the perfect setting across the country for everyone.
Of course, we still had to put our own unique Great Wolf Lodge flair on our record attempt: as a special surprise, we gave everyone who took part a limited edition set of bright orange wolf ears to wear while howling at the moon!
At exactly 8:45 p.m. EST our resorts counted everyone down and the howling began. 4,341 people of all ages howled for one minute! I'm sure wolves in the wild all paused and perked their ears at that time, wondering just what was inspiring so much howling that night!
Were you at one of our resorts? Curious how many people howled alongside you? Check out our totals below. And next time you see a full moon, take a moment to howl, Great Wolf Lodge-style!
Great Wolf Lodge Concord, NC – 605
Great Wolf Lodge Pocono Mountains, PA – 615
Great Wolf Lodge Williamsburg, VA – 412
Great Wolf Lodge Grand Mound, WA – 412
Great Wolf Lodge Traverse City, MI – 381
Great Wolf Lodge Kansas City, KA – 346
Great Wolf Lodge Wisconsin Dells, WI – 261
Great Wolf Lodge Mason, OH – 492
Great Wolf Lodge Sandusky, OH – 478

But the doctor (vary pro breastfeeding ) was sad when she told me to start supplementing. She is also confused as to why he's not gaining if he's potty enough. Did anyone else have this problem I breastfeed as much as possible and always give the breast first than offer the bottle. (Usually if he drinks the bottle (formula ) he spits it up) we go to the doctor for a weight. Check in the morning.

MOSCOW (AP) — Russia's President Vladimir Putin on Thursday lambasted a U.S. bill imposing sanctions on Russian officials accused of human rights violations, saying that it hurts Russian-American relations.
Congress last week passed a bill penalizing Russian officials accused of rights violations. The Russians have bristled at the bill, which they interpret as U.S. intervention in Moscow's domestic affairs, and have vowed to retaliate.
In remarks carried by Russian news agencies Putin on Thursday described the U.S. bill as "a politicized and unfriendly act" and lauded the Russian parliament's planned response.
"I can't understand why one has to sacrifice Russian-U.S. relations in favor of reaping a political dividend," he said.
The U.S. bill is named for Russian lawyer Sergei Magnitsky, who was arrested by police officials he accused of a $230 million tax fraud. He was repeatedly denied medical treatment and in 2009 died in jail. Russian rights groups accused the Kremlin of failing to prosecute those responsible. Moreover, the officials that Magnitsky accused of fraud went on to be promoted.
Putin mentioned on Thursday that the investigation into the lawyer's death is still ongoing and "it's not clear yet who's right or wrong there."
Pro-Kremlin lawmakers on Monday submitted a bill to the Russian parliament with measures against U.S. citizens "who are rudely violating human rights."
In a move widely seen as punishment for the U.S. bill, Russia has also required all shipments of U.S. beef and pork to be tested and proved free of an animal feed additive called ractopamine. The measure effectively amounts to a ban because the U.S. considers ractopamine safe and does not test for it.
Putin on Thursday said he wondered why the Americans were paying so much attention to a Russian jail death and suggested that deaths behind bars are frequent in the U.S.
"Why, doesn't anyone ever die in jail out there?," he asked.

Los Angeles: Actor Damian Lewis was left surprised when he got a box of ladies` lingerie from fans all over the world.
Lewis, an Emmy Award winning actor, is known for his work in TV series 'Homeland', 'Life' and 'The Forsyte Saga'. He was surprised to get a box full of innerwear from female fans. The initiative co-ordinated by a group of fans calls Bunnies.
"I returned home one day to find a big Victoria`s Secret box and I opened it and there were 40 pairs of panties in there of all different sizes and colours," a website has quoted Lewis as saying.
"There was a label on each one of them and they were from all over the world and they had been co-ordinated by the bunnies (fans) and sent from Australia and Milwaukee and the north of England.
"The granny panties looked like granny panties and the 19-year-old blondes sent me some sort of feather boa thong thing that just looks like floss... It was amazing," he added.

Both Winston Justice and Eagles general manager Tom Heckert indicated Tuesday that Justice's new contract extension -- reportedly worth $18.15 million over four years, with a $6 million signing bonus -- makes Justice the right tackle starter going forward.
Heckert said that with Shawn Andrews essentially sitting out his second successive season with back problems, the "question isn't even relevant right now."
It will be relevant next summer, of course, which was why the question was asked. Another source said the team views the commitment to Justice as very much "a quality starter deal." At this point, sources indicate, the Eagles will view Shawn Andrews' return as a bonus, if it happens, but they certainly aren't counting on it. Shawn Andrews could end up competing with his brother Stacy for the right guard job next year (assuming either of them is healthy/good enough to beat out Nick Cole).
Justice, meanwhile, said the money was less important to him than the faith the organization was showing in him by signing him through 2013. "That actually feels better than the whole financial security part," he said. Asked about being viewed as a starter henceforth, he said: "I think so, but again, I really don't play for money ... I don't play for the next contract ... I just play to glorify God and to go out there and enjoy playing."
Justice had been scheduled to become a free agent following this season. Whether he would have been restricted or unrestricted would have depended upon whether there is a new labor deal, but now that's moot, for Justice, anyway.
Until this summer, Justice was widely considered a huge bust, after being drafted in the second round out of USC in 2006. His lone start, at left tackle in 2007 against the Giants, was a memorable disaster, as New York sacked Donovan McNabb a dozen times, at least four of the sacks charged to Justice, who was nowhere near ready to handle Osi Umenyiora.
But Justice moved back to his more natural right side, where he'd played in college, and when Andrews' bad back flared up at the start of this year's training camp, Justice got a chance few had foreseen him ever earning. He has started every game, and though he hasn't been perfect, he has been solid and unflappable, as most of the components of the line around him have shifted through various injuries and recoveries.

Naval FirepowerPen and Sword 2013; US$ 14.72
For more than half a century the big gun was the arbiter of naval power, but it was useless if it could not hit the target fast and hard enough to prevent the enemy doing the same. Because the naval gun platform was itself in motion, finding a 'firing solution' was a significant problem made all the more difficult when gun sizes increased and fighting... more...

Did you know that toxins may be lurking in your child's school lunch? It's true. While a litterless lunch is a greener way to go, not every water bottle, food container and lunchbox you buy is perfectly safe. For instance, do you remember the controversy around Sigg water bottles a number of years ago? When everyone started to become concerned about BPA in plastic water bottles, Sigg benefited big time. When it came out some time later that their water bottle linings contained BPA, many people felt betrayed. I myself owned one of the BPA-containing bottles, and I was pretty cheesed about it.
My point here is that it's not always easy to tell what's green, and what's greenwashing. That's why I'm re-sharing my interview with the fabulous Lori Popkewitz Alper of Groovy Green Livin with you again. I first met Lori in person at BlogHer 2011 in San Diego. In this photo I'm standing on the far left, and Lori is standing on the far right:
Lori is a fellow green mom, and I have admired her for a long time. I particularly admire the work she's done to highlight our exposure to toxins, and advocate for change. She's started two petitions that have garnered widespread attention. The first is aimed at Proctor & Gamble, and it's called Tide: Get Cancer-Causing Chemicals Out of Laundry Detergent. The second is aimed at Disney, and it's called Disney: Get toxic chemicals out of Princess and Spiderman lunch boxes.
During our podcast, Lori and I discussed her own journey to greener living, and what motivates her. We discussed the petitions and why she started them, as well as the awareness that she's raising. By pointing out the toxins our kids may be exposed to in the products they use every day, Lori is helping to ensure that people can make better decisions. When you don't know what the dangers are, you can't avoid them. When you know, you're empowered, which is why I admire Lori so much. If you'd like some tips for making better choices of your own, Lori shares some of those during the podcast, as well.
Whether you're a fellow green mom, you want to learn a little bit about how you can reduce the toxins your kids are exposed to in their school lunches, or you'd like to be inspired by someone who's working hard to create change, you'll want to listen to the podcast:
I'm working on some new podcasts that I'll be recording in September. I'm really excited about some of these! Subscribe to my podcast in iTunes and you won't miss a minute.

Delta Air Lines and Alaska Air Merger: Not Going to Happen

- Print Article
Last week, rumors, or should I say "speculation," emerged that Delta Air Lines (DAL) was considering a play for Alaska Air (ALK), another in a long line of mergers that we thought had culminated with the American Airlines (AAL)/U.S. Airways combination.
Cowen's Helane Becker and Conor Cunningham tell investors not to get their hopes up for a Delta Air Lines play on Alaska Air. They write:
Alaska Air Group shares were up 4.1% Friday following a Bloomberg article discussing the idea that the company was a likely merger candidate for a major US airline. Delta was specifically mentioned as a likely buyer because the airline is building out Seattle as an international hub and needs feeder traffic to support its growing presence in the market. Delta will have more than 2500 international seats per day to 25 destinations on 79 peak day departures from Seattle starting next summer. There are five flights to Asia and three to Europe. Alaska Air is Delta's code-share partner, but given the fact that Alaska has code-share agreements with other airlines and flies 90%+ full in the summer, there is limited capacity for Delta's passengers. In addition, Delta is trying to change traveler behavior, to encourage flying through Seattle rather than through Vancouver, Los Angeles or San Francisco.
And regulatory approval? Not going to happen, Becker and Cunningham say. They write:
We believe any transaction involving Delta Air Lines is sure to be heavily scrutinized by the regulators. Given the difficulty which the American Airlines / US Airways merger had, we seriously doubt the Department of Justice would approve an acquisition of Alaska Airlines, especially given the route overlap. Delta recently announced seasonal service to Anchorage, Fairbanks and Juneau and Alaska announced new service from Salt Lake City to Boise, San Francisco and Las Vegas. Earlier this week Alaska announced Anchorage-Las Vegas and Anchorage-Phoenix service.
It seems like the market agrees today. Shares of Delta Air Lines have gained 0.3% to $27.64, while Alaska Air has dropped 2.3% to $71.78. American Airlines is down 0.5% at $26.20.

It has been a green Christmas in Toronto and the kids could do with a good old fashioned winter snow fall to play in.
There is nothing better than coming inside after an afternoon spent tobogganing or skating, to enjoy a cup of hot chocolate, homemade cookies and maybe even a special treat like a Smore -yum!
If you are planning a winter skating or snow party you'll be inspired by this Smore's Package that Shop Nice Package put together on their blog. I love this idea! Their packaging ideas are so appealing.
An invitation from my shop that might be perfect for inviting friends and family to a Winter Party...

All consultations are by appointment. Please make an appointment either by telephone or in person at reception. If more than one member of the family is to be seen, please book separate appointments to avoid delays for other patients.
If you have a problem which you feel needs attention urgently on the same day, please explain this to the receptionist who will make an appointment for you. Urgent cases are always seen the same day by the first available doctor.
Please help us with these consultations by ensuring we have an up to date telephone contact number. The doctors respect your time and endeavor not to keep you waiting too long. However, emergencies arise and have to be given priority. On these occasions, if you are inconvenienced we hope that you will understand.
If you cannot keep your appointment please let us know as soon as possible. We can always offer the cancelled appointment to another patient.
If you are too ill to attend surgery please telephone before 10.30am and outline your problem to the receptionist to help the doctor assess the priority of each patient who requires a visit. A doctor usually visits after morning surgery but please let us know if it is more urgent. The doctor may phone before the visit.
The doctors run a telephone appointments system for things that do not require a face to face visit. You can make the appointment as normal via reception. Although we cannot say exactly when the doctor will call, it will usually be at the end of their morning surgery (around 11.30am).
We will try to fit you in with the doctor you request, but if that doctors list is full for the day, you will be offered either another doctor on that day or your requested doctor on their first available appointment slot.
Please help us with these consultations by ensuring we have an up to date telephone contact number.
If you change your name, address or telephone number please let our receptionist know. If you move out of our area it will be necessary for you to find a doctor in your new area. The local Primary Care Trust (PCT) will help you if you experience any difficulty finding a new doctor.
