When Patients Lie to the Doctor
Patient lies-from half truths and deceptions to bold, blatant lies-are surprisingly common in today's hurried medical practices, doctors say. WSJ's Sumathi Reddy joins Lunch Break with a look at why we lie and what tips off doctors. Photo: Getty.

John the Russian
The holy Saint John the Russian (1690-1730) was enslaved by the Turks, but lived his life in holy humility and miracles. His feast day is commemorated by the Church on May 27.
Foreseeing his end, John called for a priest and asked to partake of the immaculate mysteries. The priest was afraid to openly bring the Eucharist into the stable. Being divinely inspired, he dug the core out of an apple and lined the cavity with beeswax and placed the communion inside. He then visited the saint at the stables and gave him the Communion. After receiving the communion, John fell asleep in the Lord on May 27, 1730. He was about forty years old.[1]
Monastery of St. John the Russian (Euboea)
The relics were brought to the village of Prokopion in Euboea by refugees from Ürgüp in Cappadocia, after the Asia Minor Disaster of 1922-24. For several decades the relics were in the church of Ss. Constantine and Helen at New Prokopion, Euboia, and in 1951 they were transferred to a new church dedicated to St John the Russian (within the new Monastery of Saint John the Russian). St. John's body is small, and he is clothed in a garment similar to an altar server. His face is dark and is covered by a gold mask; one of his exposed hands is also quite dark. Thousands of pilgrims flock here from all the corners of Greece, particularly on his feast day (May 27).
St. John the Russian is widely venerated on Mount Athos, particularly in the Russian monastery of St. Panteleimon.
- He that hath called thee from earth unto the heavenly abodes doth even after thy death keep thy body unharmed, O righteous one; for thou wast carried off as a prisoner into Asia wherein also, O John, thou didst win Christ as thy friend. Wherefore do thou beseech him that our souls be saved.
- The holy memory, O righteous father, of thine illustrious contests hath come today gladdening the souls of those who venerate thee with reverence and faith, O John.

* Getting Organized: Storing Barbie Doll Clothing
Our Barbie Dolls have a lot of clothes.
Having all of our doll clothes jumbled up in a messy
basket was chaotic and stressful. Sure, cleaning up was easy
but it always messed up our playtime to have to stop
and hunt for the perfect outfit for whatever plot line was taking place in Barbie Land.
One never knows when one will need a lab coat, wedding dress, scuba suit, or ball gown!
So, this mama, brought back her
original doll clothes storage system
(from my own childhood -
invented in the mid-80s when I was in 2nd or 3rd grade)
Get ready for it...
The Barbie Clothes Binder!
(Note: This was the inspiration behind our big Doll Clothing organization system!)
The clothes are stored in Gallon Ziplock bags
(but I bet you could use those plastic page protectors too!)
Then, I just inserted white copy paper
in each bag so outfits can be displayed on both sides.
I used a hole punch to punch holes in each bag
and put them in big old re-cycled binders from my dad's old office.
All of these photos are of my original Barbie Clothes binder.
My grandmother made most of the clothes in it and my girls LOVE them.
Barbie just loves her Closet-in-a-Binder system, she can't stop smiling!
If only we could store our Legos and Littlest Pet Shop Critters in a binder too!
Happy Organizing!
pink and green mama, MaryLea

Kamikaze Girls: Special Edition (UK - DVD R2)
Our Marcus checked out a movie about embroidery and thought it was fun??!
Momoko Ryugasaki (Kyôko Fukada) fantasises of a better time, specifically 8th century Rococo France. After discovering her Lolita fashion look, a ray of light shines on her bleak world that consists of selling her father's bootleg clothing and listening to her batty grandmother. Upon meeting biker girl Ichiko Shirayuri (Anna Tsuchiya), a friendship soon blossoms and Momoko's life begins to take more adventurous steps.
Well this DVD release just supplied some of the most movie fun I've had so far this year. Kamikaze Girls probably shouldn't work with its over the top nature, bright colours and delicate embroidery but as with many Japanese movies of this style, Kamikaze Girls somehow transcends all its zany constraints and provides a tale that just put a smile on my face and a spring in my step.
A large part of the movie's success is down to the two cool-beans leads. The visuals of Kyôko Fukada's Momoko, in her frilly dress, high socks and crazy ass platforms is immediately cute and her little innocent faced reactions and smiles to camera just make her adorable. Anna Tsuchiya's Ichiko is a great tonal opposite to Momoko, with her snarls, spitting and shirt and tie punky schoolgirl attitude, but as is the way of things, this somehow strengthens the belief in the friendship and makes for great interactions between the two.
Now, I'm not saying the story is much to write home about and once it gets going it's predictable as hell but the storytelling style, with its voiceovers, flash cuts and even animated cutaways just make it all play out with a grin and an infectious charm that makes it very easy to go along with. In fact I watched this with my daughter, and even though it wasn't her first step into Japanese cinema it was her first fully subtitled movie and she had a whale of time with it, rounding up her feelings on the whole zany adventure by simply saying 'those girls were well cool' (trust me that's one hell of a seal of approval).
For such a colourful and generally visually playful movie it's a damn shame that the transfer isn't strong enough to celebrate it. There's a fairly pleasing rusty glow to most shots but with the grain, compression issues and overall softness to the image it's just thoroughly underwhelming and even a little bit of a disaster.
Some of Momoko's brightly coloured dresses and the purple and reds of the biker gang's jackets can look okay, especially when bathed in natural sunlight but skin tones and scene lighting can look unnatural or washed out and many of the interior scenes fairly drab, showing off the limitations of the film's budget.
Where music and dialogue are working independently they are actually presented quite well in the Dolby Digital 5.1 track, but where they arrive together the music can really feel restrained and really struggles to have an effective presence.
There's occasional noticeable ambience to the scenes, especially when in city streets but everything really comes down to strong dialogue in the front speakers and punky/rocky/wacky/surfer tune/sickly sweet music in the rears and not much else.
All the extras sitting on disc two, with the main feature being forty minute making of. This is playful and is made up of on-set footage and cast and director interviews (all of which were pretty interesting). It has a lot of insight into the origins of the story and the choices made but really isn't that far from the norm with these sorts of things.
The 'Japanese Trailer' (01:58) sits separately from the sixteen other Third Window release trailers and the 'Anna Tsuchiya Music Video' (03:19) is typical bat shit crazy as is the 'Unicorn: Ryuji Short Film' (11:01) featuring the dude with the mental Elvis style haircut.
Rounding up, there's a few alternative takes in the 'Work Print Footage' (04:51) and a batch of other interview reels with director Tetsuya Makeshima (3:52) and our leads Fukada and Tsuchiya (07:00)
Fun, fun, fun and more fun all wrapped up in a pretty dress. The Kamikaze Girls story, which revolves around friendship, biker gangs and embroidery, may not be for everyone but it put a grin on my face and I would happily watch some more adventures with the two lead characters.
The two disc special edition ain't that special on the audio front and less so in the video department, but there's a good batch of extras and they feature some more fun times with the cast and crew.

Are the extras worth upgrading for? I have the original HK version.

The forty minute doc is pretty enjoyable and the interviews knock up the run time a bit more. I wouldn't say it was the best set of extras I'd ever seen but if the HK doesn't have them, it should certainly be a consideration.

Koshimizu is a great actor but for some reason she just doesn't click for me. I guess I was expecting a more 'mysterious' voice. Maybe it was because she was talking pretty fast in the trailer... At the very least, Ookami will deliver great scenery. That was a very visually appealing trailer!
Edit: Yeah, Lawrence seems a more mature, early 30s type of character.

Hmmm, I'm in to check this one out just based on the premise. The "daily life" of a traveling merchant and a wolfgirl-goddess in the middle ages just has me chuckling. Though I'll suspect it gets a bit tragic before it is done <sigh>.
(scans back through thread) ... hoy! the manga looks interesting as well (adds to search queue)
I'll probably collect the light novels though I'm still very slow and painful with reading skills.
yet-another-edit: the more I read about this the more interested I get. Hopefully, the pacing is on the restful side rather than the frantic side (as in paced for the age in which it occurs). I'd almost love to see a series-long conversation between these two characters as they ride along in their wagon with minor intermissions of excitement being in a town.

According to her blog, Ami had a terrible year, health-wise, in 2007, with stress causing her stomach problems and insomnia. She says she got a bad fortune at the temple last New Year's and things just got worse from there. I hope she has a much better year in 2008. She and her friend Sanpei Yuuko both went from being free agents to joining the big Production Baobab agency during the year, so hopefully that may reduce her stress.
EDIT for Masanori Ota and Grimkill7 -- The girl hugging the dakimakura in the YouTube video is definitely not Koshimizu Ami.

True... I was not overwhelmed by the anime character model designs, but then the manga art is, while not bad, somewhat average so far in my reading. The storyline, however, more than makes up for it.
Idiot question: there are ... 6 volumes of the light novel and I don't know how many of the manga. I hope they're using the novels as source material. Can anyone who's reading the novels say whether there are good anime ending stop points without spoiling anything?
Not that the information changes much.... the anime will be what it will be. At least it did its job in directing me towards the manga -- and maybe later the light novels

Heh... my poor grammar... what I actually wondered was if the anime adaptation was using the light novels as their basis or whether they were deriving the script from the manga adaptation. The light novels are much further along - therefore providing more story material.

So far all we've seen of the anime shows they've taken the first chapter or two of the manga/novel and added a character (a different love interest for Lawrence, it seems). Then again, I may be horribly wrong and that character is really part of the story. We haven't seen her yet in the manga or novel yet, though.
As for a good stopping point for the anime, I don't see one yet. We've only gotten one climax in the novels so far (as far as I can tell) and that's in the first volume (the manga hasn't even got that far). Here it is anyhow, for you guys who just can't control themselves:
Spoiler for Don't do it!:
As you can see, this is a little too early for the anime to end on. Unfortunately, I don't see any good stopping point beyond this, in the five volumes I've torrented (I don't have the sixth yet, unfortunately). I personally don't want the anime to rush through the novels, like what happened to Zero no Tsukaima (that's a rather extreme example, but it's the most recent). Here's to hoping the anime isn't 12 episodes long. :l

First episode aired today. It was nowhere near the travesty that Imagin usually produces, but it wasn't really all that overly impressive compared to things that the rest of the world makes. They really went gung-ho to drive to drive the rustic setting home too.
Caps etc
I think manga fans will be mostly pleased (possibly that Imagin hasn't produced a steaming ball of refuse), but *shrug* A bit sloooow and pastoral for my tastes personally.

You are currently browsing the tag archive for the 'gluten free tart dough' tag.
Deciding to eat food without gluten [mostly] has been a normal part of cooking the past year. It wasn't until the thought of creating desserts gluten-free did I start to look around and experiment with different sorts of recipes, one being an all-purpose gluten-free mix. The one being posted here is the most recent baking mix recipe that I find to be delightful, while still mimicking desserts that are with regular flour.
I was very happy making these tartlets and working with the dough. It was surprisingly easier than I thought and better to work with than pâte sucrée with flour. And I just have to say, I love the texture of this crust. They hold up well and have a nice crumb factor.
Here's to an end of another great autumn month everyone!
Gluten-Free Pâte Sucrée Recipe
2 cups gluten-free baking mix
6 Tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
1 cup confectioner's sugar
1 large egg
¼ teaspoon sea salt
Tart rings used were 2 ½ inches in diameter and 1 inch tall.
1. Process butter and confectioner's sugar together until fluffy, 2 minutes.
2. Add egg and sea salt and process for another minute or so.
3. Add g/f flour mix and pulse just until combined, approximately 5 seconds.
4. Dump bowl onto a work surface and knead just to form a ball.
5. Flatten dough and wrap in plastic wrap; chill for 1-2 hours.
6. Cut dough into sixteen portions.
7. Roll out one dough portion at a time to an eighth inch thickness.
8. Line a tartlet ring and place in refrigerator; repeat with remaining dough.
Bake @ 350°F from chill for 20-23 minutes or until edges start to turn golden.
Cool for a few minutes in the tart pans, then unmold and cool completely on a cooling rack.
*note: You do not need to blind bake these tartlets with beans or pie weights. If the tart dough is thin enough it will look just fine. For a sleeker finish, line tartlets with parchment and fill with weights.
Makes 12 tartlets -or- 8-4" tartlets
Hazelnut & Caramel Filling Recipe
1 cup granular sugar
¼ cup water
4 Tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into bits
½ cup heavy cream
¾ teaspoon fleur de sel
2 cups hazelnuts
preparing the caramel:
1. Combine sugar and water in a small sauce pan and bring to a boil over medium heat.
2. Using a skewer, swirl the sugar so that is colors evenly.
3. Cook until sugar has turn amber in color and turn off heat.
4. Toss in butter bits and then the heated cream [mixture will violently bubble.]
5. Whisk until smooth and has cooled.
6. Stir in fleur de sel.
Makes 1 ½ cups.
preparing the hazelnuts:
1. Toast hazelnuts in a 350ºF for 15 minutes.
2. Once hazelnuts have cooled slightly, place between kitchen towels and rub to remove skins.
3. Halve or roughly chop and mix with caramel.
Fill prepared tartlets with filling and enjoy!
Gluten-Free Baking Mix Recipe
2 ¼ cups white rice flour
1 ¼ cups brown rice flour
1 cup tapioca flour
2 teaspoons xanthan gum
1. Whisk everything together in a bowl and store in an airtight container.

Golden Game: Baseball In Sacramento THE GOLDEN GAME: BASEBALL IN SACRAMENTO nostalgically recounts Sacramento's 150-year baseball history: its early teams and ballparks, the players, important victories, unresolved controversies and unforgettable moments. Among other highlights, the film chronicles the Sacramento Solons' dramatic come-from-behind victory against rival Los Angeles for the 1942 Pacific Coast League series title, the mysterious fire at Edmonds Field (and why some believe the team set it), and the 2000 opening of Raley Field, home of the triple-A champion River Cats. Contemporary footage and archival stills from baseball's early days, along with comments from former players, game announcers, historians and fans, reveal the indelible impression baseball has left on Sacramento and the mark Sacramento has left on the game.

ST. PETERSBURG, FL-- On a day in which the news cycle was dominated by a political back-and-forth over the latest jobs report, Mitt Romney on Friday night took a personal tack instead at a rally here, regaling his audience with sometimes-morbid tales of courage from the Americans he has met over the years who have inspired him.
Midway through his remarks here at a steamy rally with more than 5,000 supporters, Romney pivoted away from his talking points on the economy and towards personal anecdotes. Perhaps most touching of the three tales of courage amid loss was that of David Oparowski, a young boy whom Romney counseled through his battle with leukemia; including writing a will for the 14-year old boy.
"I went to David's bedside and got a piece of legal paper, made it look very official. And then David proceeded to tell me what he wanted to give his friends. Talked about his fishing rod, and who would get that. He talked about his skateboard, who'd get that. And his rifle, that went to his brother," Romney recalled.
"I've seen the character of a young man like David, who wasn't emotional or crying. He had his eyes wide open. There's a saying, clear eyes, full heart, can't lose," Romney said, quoting from Friday Night Lights, a television drama about football in a small Texas town of which he and Mrs. Romney are both devoted fans. "David couldn't lose. I loved that young man."
The more personal tone from Romney, including Oparowski's story, which was told by his mother at the Republican convention last month, marked the continued evolution of the Romney campaign's strategy to further round out their candidate's image in the final weeks of the convention.
"This is quite a nation we live in, with some extraordinary people," Romney said, wrapping up his third anecdote, about a soldier he was told about at the convention, whose mother told Romney her son had died abroad to protect freedom -- even the freedoms of "misguided" protesters who picketed the soldier's funeral.
Even as Romney pivoted back to the economy, he kept his more personal, compassionate tone. Obliquely remarking on today's jobs report, Romney said he understood that Americans both with jobs and without were suffering.
"People in this country are having a hard time finding a job," Romney said. "People in this country are having a hard time making ends meet even if they have a job."

Our photog gave Karrueche Tran plenty of chances to rip her ex Chris Brown to shreds last night ... but she took the high road each time.
We got Karrueche walking into 1 OAK in West Hollywood where our guy peppered her with questions -- asking her about jail, his alleged cheating, his new modeling agency -- all designed to get her to trash CB ... but she did not take the bait. Not once.
As TMZ first reported, Tran broke things off with Brown before word got out he'd hooked up with a girl at rehab.

daspi, I made one a couple years ago, about 162 x 50, straight edges, no rocker. It works great in light winds, bends real nice, smooth and doesn't need fins, no splash. I used the same stuff for foot pads. The pic is an old which shows I used some old boom wrap but that wasn't cushy enough. I still use windsurf straps but think I'll upgrade to regular straps. I used a cheap can of marine paint, I coat it every spring.
It's really amazing that it can even work, still surprises me when I use it... defies logic.
I use it in light chop as well with no problems, goes right over waves.

The Grafton Township Board voted Thursday to strip the supervisor's use of credit and debit cards for township expenses and cancel the cards.
During debate, Supervisor Linda Moore questioned the legality of the move.
The vote was 4-1.
The four trustees who voted to take the cards from Moore argued that she had abused her financial privileges as supervisor.
Moore was the lone vote to retain her use of the cards.
"We've operated many, many years without credit cards or debit cards, and our supervisor is misusing these cards, and I'm saying it is time to eliminate them," Trustee Betty Zirk said.
The action highlights mounting acrimony between the board and Moore, who spent more than $3,800 last month on legal expenses in an ongoing battle with the board over uses of township money.
"Tell me what statute you are applying?" Moore said.
That comment drew a sharp reply from Trustee Rob LaPorta. "After seeing month and month of abuse and excessive charges that you have been doing that we continue to tell you to stop on ... we have the right to do what we are doing now," LaPorta said, although he never cited a specific law that allows the board to cancel the supervisor's use of credit and checking accounts.
"We are accountable to do this," he said.
In April, an appellate judge ordered Grafton Township to pay $20,000 to a computer forensics company hired by the board after the trustees alleged Moore had deleted financial records.
The board's discontent over Moore's financial handling of the township continued Thursday. The board voted not to pay certain vendors.
Local governments traditionally review and approve bills without discussion. After a 30-minute discussion over April's bills, the board voted, 4-1, to not pay 10 vendors, including a $600 payment to police for staffing the annual township meeting.
The four trustees argued the police were an unnecessary expense. Moore was the only one to vote against the measure.
In other business, the board decided to hold a special meeting to discuss its 2013 budget, after the board could not agree on certain adjustments. The meeting will be before the township's regular meeting in June.

2. Re: Sony HVR-MRC1Kpebalsamo Apr 13, 2009 5:50 AM (in response to Harm Millaard)
Thanks Harm, but it did not help...
What I had been doing was taking the CF Cards and dragging and dropping all the files onto my HDD and then importing them into Premiere. The site that you directed me to says to import them with the Sony decive and I just tried that but each clip still starts at 00.00.00.00.
Anyone else have any ideas???
3. Re: Sony HVR-MRC1KHarm Millaard Apr 13, 2009 6:45 AM (in response to pebalsamo)
Did you look at page 2 and use the Sony utility?
4. Re: Sony HVR-MRC1Kpebalsamo Apr 13, 2009 7:26 AM (in response to Harm Millaard)
Yes I did try that and it is still the same thing...
5. Re: Sony HVR-MRC1Kacgold777 Dec 12, 2009 5:53 PM (in response to pebalsamo)
I'm having the same timecode issue, as I noted in another thread.
The Sony document is typically Sony: "After the transfer, simply import the transferred files to your NLE project and start editing."
Thanks, Sony!
6. Re: Sony HVR-MRC1Kadam gold Dec 28, 2009 4:45 PM (in response to acgold777)
The tape capture, which I did from within Premiere, is fine. It's the direct transfer from the MRC1k that's missing the header. I used the Sony Utility to stitch the files together, then imported into the project, just as recommended by both Sony and Adobe.
I got a completely useless response from Adobe Tech Support directing me to the page that tells you how to add timecode manually. But it takes longer and is more complicated to do that than it is to synch the clips using audio waveforms, the way I used to do it, and which I was hoping to avoid by using cams that could be synched together and use the MRC1k. Oh, well.
Has anyone done this successfully in either CS3 or CS4? Maybe it's not an issue with CS4?
7. Re: Sony HVR-MRC1Kadam gold Sep 3, 2010 1:55 PM (in response to adam gold)
Issue is now resolved in CS5 v 5.0.2.
Thanks, Wil and the Adobe team!

9. Re: Sony HVR-MRC1KTodd_Kopriva Sep 20, 2010 8:44 PM (in response to the_wine_snob)
For others coming to this thread, here's a link to thePremiere Pro CS5 (5.0.2) update.
10. Re: Sony HVR-MRC1KEyemo Apr 26, 2012 9:09 AM (in response to Todd_Kopriva)
My Premiere Pro CS 5.5 (Mac OS X Lion) doesn't recognize the Sony HVR-MRC1K recorder at all.
I have to drag the M2T files off the CF card manually to import them and then they're stuck with the FAT 32 segmenting.
To overcome that, I have to import them into Final Cut Pro (using the Sony FCP utility) as .mov files and then import those into Premiere. HOWEVER that presents another problem, because HDV .mov files captured in FCP then imported to PrPro have a darker gamma than M2T files in PrPro (or those same files, as .mov, in FCP).
11. Re: Sony HVR-MRC1Kheadstock Nov 8, 2013 5:22 PM (in response to Eyemo)
I have the HVR-MRC1 and Adobe Premiere Pro CS5.5, CS6, and now CC. In each instance all I had to do was import using the sony utility. This seamed the broken clips back into one. I have had no issues. It works very well with Prelude, as well. You should never copy the clips directly from the card into Premiere. This is why Sony has the utility. The only other way I have had it work is by having Prelude read directly from the card. It does the same thing, but it's always best to use the utility because it's much better to have a copy in a media folder, or something, on your hard drive.

There is no Throne of Peace
There is more complexity in immersion than in dominance,
more fibers in the fabric of life
than in the links of chains.
Single-minded we shackle ourselves.
Fluidly assuming roles
we take on many-colored capes
and one day after we have danced in them
we will discover we can also soar.
In one lifetime we have many
embedded in life we are not pilloried
but noded
but gateways
and hope is in the wonder of life
and wonder is in the complexity.
(From the throne we could see only surfaces
without complexity. Without risk. Without joy.
There is joy in every question.
Every question.)

It was a beautiful day for a houseboat party. The weather was gorgeous. Good friends aboard. The food looked terrific. We were having cheeseburgers, pizza, and for dessert, chocolate layer cake topped with homemade vanilla ice cream. Everything seemed perfect.
I sat at the table on the bow of The Phoenix. The pizza and cheeseburger disappeared quickly. All I remember is the cake, such a wonderful thing to behold-moist devil's food in three layers, covered with rich, creamy, chocolate icing. I put two slices on my plate, and dug right in. Mmm.
Looks can be deceiving. For such a beautiful cake, it was surprisingly unsatisfying. It didn't even taste sweet. Ugh! Who made this cake? Was this some kind of trick?
I shoved another forkful into my mouth, but there was still no joy. Unbelievable! The cake left me feeling unfulfilled, disappointed, and more than a little annoyed-something chocolate has never done before, not in MY life. The stupid, tasteless cake was ruining the whole party. I wiped icing off my chin, opened one eye, and looked at the bedside clock.
3 a.m.
3 a.m? Bedside clock?
I really hate dieting.
This all started with a trip to the joint specialist a few weeks ago. Referring to my knees as "The Gruesome Twosome," the doctor said I had lived in pain long enough. In mid January, I am having both knees replaced. The surgeon assures me I will feel much better afterwards, with these artificial parts. Like the six million dollar man, I suppose. Less my deductible.
The doctor was pleased that I am going into this as a non-smoker, and suggested that it wouldn't hurt to lose ten pounds before the surgery. "Do you mean me or you, Doc?" I felt we should be clear on that.
"I mean you," he clarified. "And make it thirty pounds," he added, clarifying further. (That was punitive, I'm convinced.)
I had other questions besides. "We'd like to go houseboating this spring. I'm hoping to be recovered by the time the weather turns nice. See any problem with that, Doc?"
He stroked his chin to enhance his considerations and replied, "Hmm. Well, that depends."
"On what?" I asked. I can sometimes be so full of innocence, among other things.
"Depends on if you have a houseboat."
I hold the firm opinion that medical school should not have a class clown, and fervently hoped I had not drawn the wild card joker from the doctor deck. These are my knees, after all, the so-called "Gruesome Twosome." I lost my sense of humor about them a long time ago. There's nothing funny about any of this. I didn't even ask if I'd be able to play the piano after surgery.
"I can help with the diet!" Roxanne told me when I gave her the news. "Great," I replied, "but do you have to be so cheerful about it?" She's always far too encouraging when it comes to my improvement.
As I write this, "After Thanksgiving" has arrived with an echoing thud, as it always does for serious dieters. Most will get a temporary reprieve by invoking the After Christmas Promissory Ploy, or the ever-popular New Year's Resolution Gambit. These maneuvers preserve weight loss commitments, without imposing unpleasant dietary restrictions. Not me. I must stick to the original schedule, but I am not required to be gracious about it. I'm convinced that suffering in silence is plain foolishness. Any two-year-old will back me up.
"Want to watch the Discovery Channel?" Roxanne asked one evening. "They're showing a knee replacement operation."
"No. I do not. Want to watch." I said. With excessive periods. For emphasis.
"Don't you want to see what they'll be doing?"
"I already know what they'll be doing. The last thing I want to think about before going under is bone sawing and bloodletting and gristle rending."
"So we're watching?" she asked.
"What did I just say? Didn't you listen?" I asked, annoyed.

"I said `The last thing I want to think about.'
Her point registered. "Oh. OK, the last thing I DON'T want to think about before surgery is whatever nightmare they're planning to show on the Discovery Channel tonight. Which we won't be watching." Roxanne sniffed. I think she called me chicken.
"But there is one thing I'd like to know." I added, thoughtfully.
"What?" asked Roxanne. She can also be full of innocence. Among other things.
"Would you make a cake? I was thinking Devil's Food."
I already knew the answer.

Osherow leads Darien rout of Trumbull
DARIEN -- It started with a program first at the plate and ended with a run-of-the mill strikeout from the circle.
The Darien softball team (6-1, 4-1 FCIAC) handled Trumbull Wednesday in an 8-1 win that opened with a first inning Erika Osherow home run and concluded when Osherow delivered a game-ending strikeout. The junior starter tossed a complete game, allowing only four hits while striking out eight Eagles. Blue Wave coach Nick DeMaio estimated her long ball was the farthest he has ever seen hit at his home park, likely clearing 250 feet.
"She's doing everything," DeMaio said. "She's hitting her spots, mixing up her pitches ... and I haven't seen a ball hit farther than that."
Darien exploded for seven runs in the bottom of the first, as 10 of the first 11 Wave hitters reached base against starter Marisa Valenti. Valenti pitched the first two innings for Trumbull (5-3, 4-2 FCIAC), before Samantha Platz posted four frames of one-run ball. Wave second baseman Kelly Vodola crushed a solo homer to center field in the sixth for the game's final run.
A half-inning earlier, the Eagles had broken up Osherow's no-hit bid through more than five innings with a Lauren Zielinski single to right field. Yet the Darien hurler -- who already owns a pair of no-hitters this season -- admitted she wasn't on her A-game to start out anyway.
"I think I was trying to get into a rhythm, but didn't feel totally in it," Osherow said. "Trumbull did a great job of swinging, and our defense was great today."
Three batters after Zielinski's base hit, Emily Clark tapped a single to center field that plated the first and only Eagle run of the game. However, there was simply no overcoming the early offensive ambush of the Blue Wave or their ace pitcher.
After Osherow's first inning blast, Julia Domiziano reached base with a single that was quickly followed by a walk and a Trumbull fielding error at third base. Batting with the bases loaded, Avery Maley stepped in and knocked in two runs with a base hit to center. Later, she would come around to score as a result of three consecutive RBI singles by the Blue Wave.
"That was the key to beat them," DeMaio said of his team's early edge. "That's a very, very good team. If we don't do that in the first inning, I don't know what the outcome is going to be."
Once the Darien bats had settled, Platz and Osherow combined to pitch perfect frames in each of the third, fourth and fifth innings. This was the first game Trumbull had scored fewer than two runs and the fifth opponent the Blue Wave had held to one run or less.
Darien returns to the diamond on Friday for a 4 p.m. game, while the Eagles will attempt to bounce back Thursday at home against Wilton at 4:30 p.m.

|PIease Read Before Adopting Rodents & Small Mammal in New Mexico
Rodents & Small Mammals can make good pets in New Mexico if they match your IifestyIe. Rodents are small mammals with four sharp teeth they use to eat, gnaw wood, and defend themselves. Several types of rodents are popular pets, such as chinchillas, hamsters, gerbils, and guinea pigs. Even rats are kept as pets! Rodents are often purchased as gifts for children. Sadly, however, many owners of rodent pets do not know how to care for them properly, and young children are often unprepared for the responsibility of having a pet. Families may not approach the purchase of a rodent with the same level of commitment they would have to a pet dog or cat. Mistakes can be made regarding the genders of a pair of rodents, resulting in a litter of unexpected babies. Some owners of rodents simply turn their pets loose when they get tired of them, which usually leads to the death of the animals, since they are not adapted to life in the wild. Free to good home ads can result in a rodent being used for snake food. There are some rodent rescue operations out there that can receive discarded pets, but these places tend to become overloaded due to so many people getting rid of their rodents. Please approach all decisions to get a pet with a long-term commitment, and pursue adoption rather than buying a rodent from a pet store.

Teknikor acquires Oxford Engineering
Teknikor, Inc. announced it has completed the acquisition of Oxford Engineering – a Connecticut-based provider of highly-specialized precision machinery alignment services critical to ensuring equipment performance across a number of different industries including wire and cable, rubber and plastics, and paper manufacturing. Financial terms of the agreement remain undisclosed.
The acquisition gives Teknikor, a specialist in plant and manufacturing systems upgrades, retrofits and relocations, additional expertise to add to its integrated service delivery offering. The move expands the company's operations and reduces the need for subcontractors.
"Our goal since the beginning was to buy or build the different skill sets and expertise that come into play when we perform operations and manufacturing maintenance," states Teknikor CEO Phil Pelletier. "Oxford Engineering not only fills a critical need in our services continuum, they are the best in the industry at what they do." Since its founding in 1981, Oxford Engineering has performed work for a number of Fortune 500 companies including Du Pont and Dow Chemical. Pelletier goes on to say that the two companies share similar priorities and credit their shared emphasis on training and retaining long-term employees for the success of their respective companies. Oxford Engineering's technicians and engineers are trained at the renowned, ISO 9001:2008-certified Brunson Instrument Company.
Joining Teknikor will be Oxford Engineering founder Jack Grosberg. "This acquisition is all about becoming part of an innovative company that is reinventing its own industry," observes Grosberg. "Teknikor is leading the way in its integrated services approach to plant and operations systems management and I'm excited that Oxford Engineering play a critical role in the company's future."

Calif. Truckers Challenging Emission Standards
January 6, 2012 by RVBusiness · 1 Comment
For the first time, the federal government is regulating big-rigs, RVs and tractor-trailers in much the same way it's held car makers to rigorous fuel efficiency standards for decades.
But, according to a FOX News report, a group of California truckers contends the regulations will drive them right out of business — and has filed suit to block them.
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is ordering large trucks and buses to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by up to 20% and overhaul engine design starting with models built in 2014. Most operators will need to spend thousands upgrading their rigs or buying new vehicles, with prices starting at $50,000 and going up from there, depending on the model.
Even so, the regulations have the support of the large and powerful American Trucking Association (ATA).
"We have never been inclined to be supportive of federal involvement and regulations in our industry," said Bill Graves, president and CEO of the ATA. "But our experience in this case is one where we have to admit that the federal government did a really fine job of working collaboratively with all partners in this, to come up with what we think is a reasonable and fair rule."
Smaller owner-operators like Sacramento trucker Robert McClernon argue the opposite.
"With the cost of the new equipment that they're requiring, and the oversight of the government in every part of my business, I can't afford to be in business," he claimed.
McClernon is among a group of California trucking outfits challenging the Obama administration in federal court. The lawsuit claims the EPA failed to properly submit the regulations to a blue ribbon panel called the Science Advisory Board (SAB), as is required. The SAB is a group of top scientists who've been empowered by federal law to review new regulations that the EPA proposes to issue under the Clean Air Act.

text: Shift work is a reality of our modern economy. Services don't stop running when the sun goes down. Without night workers—nurses and doctors, toll booth workers, security guards, policemen and women, truck drivers, pilots, and more—our world would grind to a halt. One of my closest friends works nights at a home for children. Most of his time is spent reading, but when the kids wake up or there's an emergency, he is the first person on the scene. Without him, those kids wouldn't be safe. But he pays a high price. Like many late shift workers, he suffers from terrible sleep-wake disruption, and is always either strung out or exhausted. After years of this strange schedule, he suffers from a host of physical problems. He has high blood pressure, struggles with his weight, and was just diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. He also has a lot of trouble with his relationship.

Critics of major hospital mergers say they have a history of driving up health care costs, as big health systems use their marketplace leverage to get higher rates from insurers.
"An increase in (hospital) consolidation leads to an increase in prices," said Sujoy Chakravarty, a professor at the Rutgers Center for State Health Policy.
Chakravarty cited a 2012 research analysis by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation that concluded hospital consolidation generally results in higher prices.
"And those increases in prices will ultimately translate into increases in premiums for consumers," he said.
That's a viewpoint David Knowlton, president of the New Jersey Health Care Quality Institute, can appreciate.
"Can hospitals do wonderful things by combining, can they spread the administrative burden and save money? Absolutely," he said.
But, he said, mergers become anticompetitive if the big health care system says to the insurer: "We won't negotiate unless you meet our terms, because we've sucked up most of the covered lives" in a particular territory.
"It is hard to find the proper balance," he said.
Ward Sanders, president of the health insurer trade group the New Jersey Association of Health Plans, said the efficiencies of larger health care systems are overshadowed by higher prices. "Plans and consumers want to pay based on value and quality, not the size of the entity or the volume of procedures," he said.
Princeton University professor Uwe Reinhardt, a leading health care economist, said hospitals should face limits on price increases. Specifically, he'd tie increases to the consumer price index for at least five years.
"Every hospital consolidation that has ever been proposed has been justified on the grounds that it will increase efficiency, lower the cost of producing hospital care and therefore lower prices, or keep them in check," Reinhardt said. "Yet a huge body econometric literature suggests that other things being equal, hospital consolidation has pushed up the prices hospitals charge."
Barry Ostrowsky, chief executive of New Jersey's largest hospital system, Barnabas Health, said, "The conventional theory has been if you become big, then you have greater leverage in negotiating with insurance companies."
But if that's true, he added, "it's more in the past than it will be in the future."
"I think it's clear that insurance companies or anyone else that finances health care are looking to reduce reimbursements for services, and they are looking to insist that providers of health care are as efficient as they can be," Ostrowsky said.

you feel that a collection firm has abused you? Call
FDCPA Help Right Now!
Help Attorneys Can Stop Collection Abuse In
attorneys can help you in Michigan with
collection abuse if you feel that
a debt collector is breaking the law
in communicating with you regarding your debt or a debt that
they allege that you owe. The FDCPA
or Fair Debt Collection
Practices Act was created by
the Congress of the United States
in 1977 to stop collection abuse
and harassment because of the many
complaints that they received from
outraged consumers. The Congress wanted to
stop debt collectors from abusing
consumers in Michigan and throughout
the United States by penalizing
each and every 3rd party collection
firm that was
involved in this type of
collection activity.
The collection laws implemented
by the states, including Michigan, are virtually the same as the
FDCPA in most cases. The Michigan state laws,
in conjunction with the
FDCPA, were designed to stop collection abuse
the harassment
that repeatedly comes from 3rd
party collection firms, when a debt
collector chooses
to violate the law in Michigan. The debt
collectors who typically abuse consumers do it to make
more money or to hit their
company quota and receive their
bonus. These debt
collectors know that by abusing
the Michigan consumer, they cause
great stress and the chances of collecting
the money from the consumer
dramatically increases.
you suffered from collection abuse
in Michigan? Has a debt collector offended
you? Threatened you? Do you feel
that you have been treated unfairly?
Unscrupulous 3rd party debt
collectors engage in collection
abuse tactics because they know it
works. They know that a consumer
residing in Michigan or elsewhere
in the nation is
more apt to pay them large sums of
money very quickly to make
them go away, sometimes, even when
the debt has been paid years
earlier and in other cases, when
it is not even the consumers debt
at all. The FDCPA
is comprised of many different
laws which protect consumers and describe what a
3rd party debt
collector can and cannot do.
Collection abuse in Michigan is something
that you do
not have to tolerate and our
experienced attorneys can stop
collection abuse in its tracks on your behalf
through our legal representation.

unaware of the laws governing the

if you feel that collection abuse
is an issue that you have been

osCommerce is the most popular online e-commerce solution. The primary reason for this popularity is its nature as open source software; it can be used for almost no cost compared to other online e-commerce software.
osCommerce runs on PHP and MySQL, again an open source solution. Despite its popularity, it possesses a significant weakness. The default page title generated by the osCommerce is highly unfriendly to both site visitors and the search engines, particularly the most popular one: Google.
A high percentage of site conversion and website marketing success is primarily due to the correct use of title tag element <title> ….</title>
This tutorial proposes a solution that allows an osCommerce web developer to generate unique and relevant title tags using only PHP. This eliminates the need to hire or consult an SEO on-site — work which can be tremendously costly.
Specification of Page Title for Search Engine Marketing Success
Very popular search engines like Google advise webmasters under their technical guidelines to include accurate and descriptive titles for their web pages. It is essential that the page title should be:
- Preferably 65 characters. Exceeding this limit is permissible, but you should make sure your important keywords are prominent within the first 65 characters.
- Perfectly relevant to the page topic. Users of osCommerce often make the mistake of creating misleading and inappropriate page titles.
For example: if the product name on a page is "Widgets XYZ," the page title should be the same as the product name. Or in other cases, if the category is "Large Widgets," the page title should be the same as the category name.
- Avoid having the same title tags in almost all product names and categories. Duplicate title tags are strongly discouraged for search engine optimization because they can affect the rankings of the product pages and cause dilution of the relevant pages.
You can do a rough check of your existing website to see if there are problems with duplicate titles. The best tool to use is http://www.google.com/
Type this in the search box (without including the www or http):
After pressing "search" in Google, you will see whether your indexed pages are having serious problems with duplicate titles. For example, below is a sample screen shot of a website having some issues with duplicate titles:
<Insert duplicate title.jpg here>
As you can see, most of the indexed pages have the same title, "osCommerce," which is completely unrelated to the page topic. This affects the site's search engine marketing effort and will confuse potential visitors.
{mospagebreak title=osCommerce Web Template Files and Page Title Naming}
In order to successfully create appropriate names for the page title in an osCommerce website, you must edit two important files and the corresponding important pages of the website.
- Index.php – This is the most important template file in osCommerce. This template is responsible for generating titles for the home page and category pages.
- Product_info.php – This template is responsible for naming the title tag for the product pages. This template can cause very serious problems. In a giant osCommerce site with thousands of products, using this template unmodified also means there are thousands of pages with the same titles.
Other pages are not as important as the two above, but it is very important that they also use unique and relevant page titles. The pages are found in the main site navigation menu. For example:
- New Products page: products_new.php
- Special offer page: specials.php
- Contact us page: contact_us.php
- Privacy Policy page: privacy.php
You should also modify other pages that are commonly found if you have them, such as the terms and conditions page, sitemap page and "About Us" page.
We'll start with the index.php since this is a very important file. By default, the title tag PHP script found in the index.php is:
<title><?php echo TITLE; ?></title>
This is not enough. It will produce a home page title equal to the store owners' name, or the name of the store, which will not help with search engine optimization efforts.
It gets worse. The page title on the categories pages will be the same as the one on the home page and even the product pages!
This can confuse visitors shopping your online store powered by osCommerce; even search engine bots like Googlebot will have problems sorting things out. Your site will be very hard for them to understand, and in return, since you confused Googlebot, you will not be rewarded with great rankings and traffic.

General warning: Before doing any on-site work, do not forget to back up your original files.
Now that we know the basic files that need to be edited to give your site the most relevant and unique page titles, we will come up with a good strategy to change those titles into something we want.
- The home page Title should be an SEO-optimized title tag.
- We can use the category variable cPath in the URL to fetch the correct category name in the MySQL database. As long as the URL is given, we can use PHP to analyze the URL, grab the category ID number, communicate to the MySQL database and finally grab the corresponding category name.
The appropriate product category name should then be returned as the category page title.
- The same technique will be applied to the product pages. The cPath ID number corresponds to the product ID with the corresponding product name in the MySQL database.
PHP script for producing unique titles for the home page and category pages (actual script in blue):
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=<?php echo CHARSET; ?>">
if (preg_match("/cPath/i", $optimizedurl))
//this is a category page, extract the category name
$start= $location1 + 6;
$result = mysql_query("SELECT `categories_name` FROM `categories_description` WHERE `categories_id`='$categoryextracted'")
or die(mysql_error());
$row = mysql_fetch_array($result)
or die("Invalid query: " . mysql_error());
echo "
";
$titletag = $row['categories_name'];
//this is the root page
$titletag = 'Put your SEO optimized title tag here for the homepage';
<title><?php echo $titletag ?></title>
Let me explain how the PHP script above will get the appropriate page title. It starts with
This script will get the URL of the page and store it to a variable. Note that $_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"] is not perfectly compatible with Windows Server, and there are things that need to be adjusted; explaining them is beyond the scope of this tutorial. However, you can read it here:
Now, since the index.php will cover both the home page and the category pages, we need to determine whether the URL analyzed by PHP is for a category page or the root URL. This script will provide the answer:
if (preg_match("/cPath/i", $optimizedurl))
Category pages contain cPath in the URL, and by using the preg_match function, we can test to see if it contains this variable.
If it is a category page, the next job of the script is getting the category ID, which will be used to pull out the category name in the MySQL database:
//this is a category page, extract the category name
$start= $location1 + 6;
$result = mysql_query("SELECT `categories_name` FROM `categories_description` WHERE `categories_id`='$categoryextracted'")
or die(mysql_error());
$row = mysql_fetch_array($result)
or die("Invalid query: " . mysql_error());
echo "
";
$titletag = $row['categories_name'];
The combination of strpos and substr will extract the category ID from the URL.
For example:
The category ID in the above URL is the value of the cPath variable, which is 4.
The rest of the above script's purpose will be to query the database in order to extract the category name.
{mospagebreak title=Proper Page Title Naming for the Product Pages}
For the Product_info.php, the following is the recommended script:
$start= $location1 + 12;
$result = mysql_query("SELECT `products_name` FROM `products_description` WHERE `products_id`='$productidextracted'")
or die(mysql_error());
$row = mysql_fetch_array($result)
or die("Invalid query: " . mysql_error());
echo "
";
$titletag = $row['products_name'];
<title><?php echo $titletag; ?></title>
To implement the following recommendations, find this piece of code in the default affected templates:
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=<?php echo CHARSET; ?>">
<title><?php echo TITLE; ?></title>
Replace it with the modified PHP script. For the product_info.php the above lines will now become:
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=<?php echo CHARSET; ?>">
$start= $location1 + 12;
$result = mysql_query("SELECT `products_name` FROM `products_description` WHERE `products_id`='$productidextracted'")
or die(mysql_error());
$row = mysql_fetch_array($result)
or die("Invalid query: " . mysql_error());
echo "
";
$titletag = $row['products_name'];
<title><?php echo $titletag; ?></title>
To be truly effective, revise the title tag PHP script in all important templates such as index.php, product_info.php, and the main pages in a typical osCommerce website navigation menu.
