Vanessa Anderson- Another conservative voice on the horizon
Remember the name Vanessa Anderson; we have a feeling you will be hearing a lot from her in the future.
She is one of the voices in a movement that is not getting too much attention. As a matter of fact, if you ask certain liberals, they will tell you that Ms. Anderson and those who share her political political perspective does not exist. Vanessa Anderson is a conservative who happens to be black.
More and more blacks are coming out of the "conservative closet" to share the common sense principles of conservatism. Given the liberal bias of the mainstream media (as recently reflected by NBC with manufactured reports in the Trayvon Martin case), it's a good thing that more and more voices are speaking out to spread truth.
Most of us have heard of the more well know black Conservatives like Michael Steele, Condoleeza Rice, Star Parker, Alveda C King, Deneen Borelli, and by now, Mia Love, the rising star shining brightly in the political arena as the Republican candidate in Utah; but there are far more black Conservatives than most realize.
When asked why she believed that liberals liked to downplay the role of of blacks in the conservative movement, Vanessa replied: "Probably because that is truly their wish. Black Conservatives shakes things up. We change the normal liberal tactics of crying racism at every turn. However, liberals are crafty…they quickly label us as sellouts, Uncle Tom and other racially derogatory terms. Well, we don't care about the name calling. It's not like that's going to shut us up. Nice try on their part though."
Vanessa's articles have been featured in Conservative-Women.com, an online conservative magazine and The Conservative Fifty. She discusses current events and political issues on her blog titled Following Harriet. When asked how she came up with that name, she simply replied: "There are still slaves that need to be freed". She went on to say: "I'd like to think that I'm picking up where Harriet Tubman left off. I truly understand what she meant when she said 'I freed hundreds of slaves. I could have freed hundreds more if only they knew they were slaves'. See… whenever one believes that only the government can help them out of any given situation, that person is a slave. Freedom lives within our souls and we can do far more for ourselves than any government ever can. I want the help people understand that."
When Vanessa was asked how she planned to make a difference, she replied: "try to connect the dots for people to show them how liberalism is destructive. Making a difference is simply a matter of spreading truth… about black history in particular." She went on to say: "The history regarding Blacks in America is incredibly rich, but it has been stolen, distorted, revised and hidden for long enough. Blacks should realize that we were more than slaves, and that we are not victims simply because some of our ancestors were slaves. Some of them were doctors and lawyers… and much more…. they were amazing. We descend from Americans that were of grade A stock!"
Ms. Anderson often refers to herself as one of the "ABC's": American, Black and Conservative. Get to know your ABC's, America… the building blocks of America's future.
Keep your eyes and ears ready. Vanessa's messages may not be politically correct, but they are factually correct; meant to be thought provoking, and are relayed in a matter-of-fact and unapologetic manner.

Marche Saint Jacques… I really want to go here again.
Marche Saint Jacques market is an historic building in Montreal. Shops are re-opening gradually. I should be pleased to document the progress, on this website. Currently in the process of doing so.
Marche Saint Jacques is one of the oldest markets in Canada. Located in Montreal, the Art Deco public market was established in 1872. The market is famous for its fresh farm produce & fruits, traditional food. More importantly for its fresh vegetable stalls. Yet, there are also shops and stores. The main purpose of the market is to provide healthy farm produce and foods to locals; as well as visitors at affordable prices.
The market closed doors for several years due to internal management problems; as well as other logistics not clearly known and was converted to a city office.
Some new shops have already been opened" /> .. These include:
- Premiere Moisson; which is a bakery shop.
- Fromagerie Atwater a cheese shop
- La Mer fish shop
- Marché Jean-Talon; which sells almost everything from Gourmet retailing to farm produce.
- There is also a fresh pasta shop, a greengrocer, an olive product store, a coffee shop and a tea shop.
This site was initially established late 2012 and operated through to early 2014. It was established in French with the main purpose of guiding locals who wanted to shop at various Gourmet shops; as well as other farm produce traders in Marche Saint Jacques after the market was reopened.
Another thing about the site, is that it now has much better content ; along with great posts about visit the public market. The site will also have content about travelling to Montreal and its environs.
When I was about 6 years old
Moreover, I was definitely a chubby fellow. Now, at that young age, I didn't even know there was slim and chubby. I was just a child eating as much junk and sweet foods as I could and my mom didn't want to deny me anything. So I shoved the sugary chocolate cream doughnuts down every time I had a chance. Don't get me started on the hot dogs.
By the time I was 15 my classmate didn't pass up the chance of educating on the difference between the three groups of slim, healthy and down right fat; and unfortunately I fell in the last group. So I started becoming self-conscious and my head almost permanently stuck to the downward position. This was because that's how I mostly walked at school and boy, weren't there many school trips and camping and all that. I didn't even make it to be a football player. However, I really wanted to save lives back then.
The more my head faced down the more doughnuts I ate. Somehow this really made me feel better. I simply refused to give up my doughnuts and ice creams. What can I say; they really tasted good.
I made the decision to eat healthy
We moved to Quebec when I was 21. My heart almost flew out of my chest when I saw this very cute girl on my way to the market. My grandmother has breast cancer; so she sends me to the market every Friday at 4.00 pm for groceries. She has a special diet and only buys groceries from Marche Saint Jacques market. The cute girl was selling in one of the shops in there. However, she had deep blue eyes, dark hair with a few blonde highlights. Unfortunately she didn't even look at me. Well I was normally noticed. The reason was because of how big I was. But he didn't even see that.
Oh I was going to make her look at me for sure. In fact she was never going to take her eyes off me. So with that said, the pizza had to go. My grandmother had tried for years to get me on a diet; with most of the food she sent me for at the Marche Saint Jacques market. Now I was ready to try her organic food to become healthy.
She had breast cancer and so she knew well; which types of food had what effect to the body. Now I made it my business to know that too. Nonetheless, I embarked on a weight loss journey eating only healthy organic food from the Marche saint Jacques market like cheese, fresh untreated dairy products, healthy olive product, pasta, green fresh vegetables, among others.
Getting started on the healthy organic diet
However, I started learning how to make tasty yet healthy simple meals from organic food products that I had bought at this market. I use all kinds of products. But I made sure they are fresh. For breakfast I made sure I had a fresh fruit before anything then a protein. But it all had to be fresh and not canned food. That made a huge difference. My grandmother opted for this produce. This was because it was fresh and rich in all the enrichments she needed for strength and good health; so I just followed suit.
For a snack I wasn't eating ice cream anymore, I ate fruits and healthy tasty organic salads instead made out of the fresh traditional vegetables there. Nevertheless, I missed my strict diet with a little exercise. Realized to stick to it until I started seeing desirable results. There are more than one ways; in which organic food is better for your body. It's more nutritious and healthier than processed food; which is packed with unhealthy supplements. It also tastes better.
There are gourmet shops at that market also that have fresh gourmet products that are good for your health. These became a key part of my new healthy diet as well.
Got the desired results
Well, after a while I was a healthy size. I fit into tights without reaping them at the edges. Moreover, I stuck to this diet; even after I had lost about 80 pounds and was confident in my skin now; fitting in the trendy clothes and that too in small sizes from XL; walking with my head high and visiting new places. However, I went to the market after I had lost it. She pretended to pick the same fruit I was picking; at end of the apologies she asked for my name and number. Check mate!

Living a Healthy Lifestyle
We all love shopping. Personally I shop for recreation. I'm not talking about online shopping. But the 'real shopping'. Every once in a week I usually go to a market place located near my place to shop for fresh organic groceries. This is a change in me; which I adapted after a painful quest to lose weight.
Initially, I used to lie around and call for the pizza guy to deliver the fast food to me at home. Nonetheless, I also loved other fats foods and before long, I had gained so much weight that I never realized that it was a health hazard. It all dawned to me that things are terribly bad after I Was diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes.
This is an almost fatal disease. According to the advice and recommendations of the health care provider, whom I seeing; there was an urgent urge to review my diet; as well as my lifestyle. All this came to me as a shock. The reason was because I realized that I had to adapt to a new lifestyle that I wasn't used to. But there were no alternatives.
That is how my craving for fresh organic fruits and vegetables started
I realized how much I must have been missing as I adapted the lifestyle. Because of the need of exercising, I would normally walk to the market place; which is near my place and do the shopping and then walk back home.
However, during summer last year something peculiar happened. That day, I had gone to the market as usual. In the gated market place; there is a coffee parlor where I usually take my favorite cappuccino whenever I visit the place. Cappuccino was one drink that I couldn't cut as part of the dieting. I stayed at the place sipping my drink; while chatting with the attendant who I made friends with for about 30 minutes.
Then I went on with my shopping
When I was sure that everything that I needed was packed, I decided to leave. The load was a bit heavy that day for a reason I didn't immediately understand. However, I thought of taking a cab. But decided against the thought. I decided to walk as usual.
About a hundred yards from the market, I started feeling dizzy. Therefore, I knew that I need an insulin injection. But I had carried none. That was the last thing that I remember; because I fell down unconscious with the groceries that I was carrying.
When I woke up, I was in a hospital bed and a nurse was smiling at me. Moreover, she must been attending to me. She explained how I fell unconscious and some Good Samaritan who saw the incident immediately called the ER and there I was brought. With that said, I was lucky that I never got injured.
Anyway, I still love shopping so much that I still visit the market place even today.
Do You Love Cheese? Maybe You Should
Probably it's the dairy in cheese; which reminds us of motherly love; hence the popularity of cheese. Many people across the world love cheese. Did you know that even dogs love cheese? And I'm not kidding.
Recently I had a unique and memorable cheese experience in a small market in Marche Saint Jacques in Quebec, Canada where I had gone for my summer vacation.
This summer while holidaying in Canada, I decided to bike to the newly re-opened public market of Marche Saint Jacques. However, I was really craving for some cheese and I was told that the market has some awesome gourmet shops and a cheese stalls; which had a lovely variety of cheeses was one of them. Nonetheless, I decided to give the market a try although I postponed the visit for quiet a number of days; because I was doubtful that a visit to the place would be worth it. However as my vacation days were ending, I thought to give it a try.
It was really critical to me
This was because I completely crave for cheese and the thoughts of munching a Brie de Meaux, the creamy cheese with a tinge of sourness, and feeling it go down my throat; as I have it with some sumptuous bagnettes; or sweet pickles and a glass of my favorite Merlot made me increase the desire to visit the market in the morning prior to the end of my vacation.
However, I still harbored doubts that I would find no nice cheese. The reason is because I was told that the market was recently re-opened and many shops and stalls were yet to be established. How wrong was this impression?
I made the hour biking to the market and to my surprise
However, I encountered a great cheese experience that I lamented having second doubts about the market and postponing my visit for several days. I was welcomed by the hospitable wonderful smell and brilliant front-door display of Fromagerie Atwater. If you don't know, Atwater stalls are some of the best and most admired cheese stalls in Quebec and Canada as a whole.
They are considered the 'home of cheese' because of their wonderful variety of cheeses. Get it right, when it comes to cheese, Atwater will never fail you. With the hundreds of cheese varieties, both local and international, to choose from, the outlet boasts a one with memorable cheese experiences.
The recently re-opened Marche Saint Jacques market, admittedly, is much modest the discouraging tales suggested while I made inquiries and the cheese shop gave me a great treat that I can't forget. By the time that I arrived, the market was already bubbling with numerous activities and both vendors and shoppers could be seen busying themselves in their various activities.
Feeling a little belated, I quickly located Atwater
Thanks to a nice Canadian brunette who helped me trace it among the several busy gourmet shops. Anyhow, I still could have located it due to its unique and colorful external display.
I must admit that I've been to other Fromagerie Atwater elsewhere. But there is something unique; which made me love the place in this old Canadian market.
I really loved the store. They sell more than just cheese. But its the cheese that I went there for. And of course the fresh meats and wine they were selling needed to be scheduled in my agenda. They had a large variety of cheeses to choose from. As if I had chosen the best day or luck was on my side, I met that they were selling 3 cheeses for $14 that day. I quickly knew that I had one of the best opportunities to sample different cheeses that I had never tried before and that is exactly what I did.
The staff were lovely and friendly and after having some nice cheese time, I realised what I really missed during the entire vacation. I love you Atwater
Why Marche Saint Jacques
Shopping for fresh farm produce in Marche Saint Jacques; which is home to various food and vegetable stalls is one awesome experience that you should be willing to give a try if you live in Quebec, Canada or you are visiting the region. You get the opportunity to shop healthy and quality groceries at affordable prices.
Also you get the chance sample various gourmet products from various world-class produces in the market. They include bakery products, cheese, espresso coffee, pasta etc. In the market you can as well buy some traditional foods, fruits or vegetable; which may be difficult to find in other places.
During my recent visit to the area on a warm beautiful afternoon
There was one shop in the market; which completely blew me off and made me yearn for more the market's shopping experience. It was Marche-Jean Talon. This French shop seemed to stock almost anything that a shopper would be looking for.
From gardening products, to kitchenware and other beautiful and quality products. They even they had an outdoor coffee patio where I took a position; which offered a complete view of the entire market as I sipped a cup of espresso coffee that I had ordered. The coffee itself was excellent and of high quality increasing my admiration for the retail stall.
The staff were so friendly and professional. They talked and served me nicely and in an hospitable manner. As I chatted with one lady steward called Jean, I came to realize that although the market was recently reopened after a long period of being in non-operational, it was still attracting a huge number of shoppers, both locally and from visitors who came touring Canada especially during spring and summer.
I did notice some closed stalls in the market
When I inquired about them, she was so eager and kind to tell me that almost all of them had been booked and were awaiting to be opened anytime. She was quick to point that hopefully the next time that I visit I would find the place completely unique because they were expecting that all the stalls will be in operation and selling various wares and farm produce.
Generally, the afternoon experience at the place was a good one and by the time I left the place I was jovial and happy. I extended my tip to Jean for her warm hospitality and kindness and she seemed so happy and appreciative in the manner; in which she thanked me.
Probably the next time I make a visit to the market I will do so in the morning hours. I also hope that by then the market will be optimally occupied and at a better state to offer me a more enriched experience.

Watt building off big moment in 2011 playoffs
HOUSTON — With one mighty swat, J.J. Watt knocked down Andy Dalton's pass, intercepted it and returned it for a touchdown in last year's playoff win over Cincinnati for one of the biggest plays in Texans history.
A year later, the second-year defensive end is one of the league's top defenders, and he'll need another big game to help Houston — which lost three of its last four regular season games — regain its form in a wild card playoff rematch against Cincinnati.
Watt wasn't too keen on reliving that play Tuesday, though.
"That was last year and this is this year," he said. "I have things to focus on this year. It was a great play, a huge moment in my life, but I'm looking forward to making bigger moments this year."
He's had plenty of them so far this season, leading the NFL with 20½ sacks. He also had 39 tackles for loss, 16 passes defended, 107 tackles and four forced fumbles.
"You are watching something special," coach Gary Kubiak said. "If you probably went and broke down what's happened over a period of the first two years in this league for a player, I'm not sure many guys could put up the numbers he's put up."
Watt was having a solid rookie season for Houston in 2011 and had started each game for the Texans. But he was largely unknown outside of Houston before his interception return gave the Texans their first lead in a 31-10 win over the Bengals. It was the first playoff win in franchise history and a play Kubiak called a "game-changer."
"He's been really consistent," Kubiak said. "He was a (darn) good rookie. During the playoffs last year, he raised his level of play. He found another gear as a player. It's continued through this season."
Bengals coach Marvin Lewis remembers the play from Watt well, and has watched him change the course of many other games with his playmaking ability.
"It's kind of a big dagger for us," Lewis said. "We never really overcame it. He's done that a lot. He's made the big sacks and sack fumbles. … You can't put on the tape where he's not doing that."
Watt finished 2½ sacks shy of breaking Michael Strahan's NFL single-season record of 22½. He was named to his first Pro Bowl recently, and is a top candidate for Defensive Player of the Year. But Watt isn't concerned with individual accolades.
"My season's been a lot of fun, and it's been great. But if we don't go out there and win, if we don't go out there and take care of business in the playoffs, it's just going to be another season for me," he said. "I appreciate all the support I've gotten, all the love I've gotten and obviously the awards and everything, but I want a Super Bowl. That's it."
The Texans lost to the Ravens in the second round of the playoffs last season. Now they're looking to put the disappointment of the last month behind them when they host the Bengals on Saturday.
Houston intercepted Dalton three times and sacked him four times in last year's win. Watt believes making the Bengals quarterback uncomfortable will again be the key to success.
"The only way I know how to stop a quarterback-receiver combination is to not let the quarterback get it out of his hands, and that's where I come in, and that's where the defensive line comes in," Watt said. "We need to put pressure on him. We need to get after him. We need to fluster him."
The Bengals are acutely aware of the problems Watt can create. Rookie right guard Kevin Zeitler might know what to expect better than anyone. He, like Watt, went to school at Wisconsin and the two have trained at the same gym.
"(He's) long, athletic, strong," Zeitler said. "He does it all. Watching him on film, it's just insane the things he can do. It's going to be a very tough challenge. We are going to have to put a lot of effort toward stopping him."
AP Sports Writer Joe Kay in Cincinnati contributed to this report.

How can 4 months be so fast and slow all at the same time?
On the one hand, I can't believe he is already 4 months old. Wasn't it just yesterday that I was larger than life, and then in labor for a billion hours?
{I look at that picture of myself and can't believe I was that big. I feel so skinny now}
On the other hand, I can't believe there was ever life without him. How did I ever not know this face?
He can almost sit up by himself. He brings his hands to his mouth. He picks up toys and talks to you. He sleeps in his own crib, in his own room. Basically he is practically going off to college.
He is such a happy baby.
{Who needs pants?}
And if I could just convince him to sleep through the night again like he used to, I dare say he would be the most perfect baby. I supposed we can't be perfect.
But I will give him $100 if he sleeps through the night. Momma is getting desperate over here. :)
Mommy loves you, Hank the Tank!!

Find out why a URL is called so often from internal
Budjetti €250-750 EUR
Setup of Plugins causes unwanted page requests that kill the webserver after a while.
Current setup wich is not changeable:
Plugin Jsonimporter collects REST Data from an external API. The Plugin transforms this into a RSS XML site as a shortcode added to a static site in wordpress. This Site is calld by the Smart-Slider as an dynamic Slide Generator.
Problem: In the log files we noticed too much requests to the endpoint of the rss. May caused from the smart slider. We enabled the SmartSlider Cache but the requests still exists. We thought of a borken cache but Support of SmartSlider promised a working cache. So where does the requests come from?
Task: Find out additional resources that will cause the high rate of requests or determine SmartSlider as the offender.
Goal: decrease the requests to one per day managed by the smartslider cache (excludes normal requests by users)
Website: [login to view URL]
RSS Url: [login to view URL]
JsonImporter Pro: [login to view URL]
Smart Slider 3 Pro: https://smartslider3.com/+
Hoster: [login to view URL]
Log-Files are accesable via Hoster Web-UI
why not directly import the json feed to smartslider
Because it is not supported yet.
Hope you could support us!

WASHINGTON — Almost everyone suffers from it at some time--that bloated feeling, or the kind of uncomfortable sensation that comes from overeating or indulging in too much greasy food. Sometimes it's accompanied by nausea and often it's over in a matter of hours.
What everyone knows as indigestion has been treated light-heartedly in numerous television commercials. But chronic indigestion can be a far more serious signal of other digestive diseases, ranging from a peptic ulcer to irritable bowel syndrome.
Researchers now are especially interested in a type of severe indigestion that seems to occur for no particular reason, lasts for three or more days, disrupts lives and results in lost work time.
Many Try Surgery
"Many unnecessary operations are performed to relieve the painful symptoms of this unknown indigestion," says Dr. William Y. Chey, director of the Isaac Gorden Center for Digestive Diseases and Nutrition in Rochester, N.Y. Yet despite the surgery, "many patients continue to suffer from the symptoms," says Chey, who is a leader in the study of this form of indigestion.

Bee bread is a fermented, enzymatically-activated food made by bees inside the hive, with around 25% honey or nectar, and 70% pollen. Considered far superior to flower pollen, protein bioavailability is significantly enhanced.
Produced in western Lithuania, near the Baltic Sea region. The bee hives stand in the meadows near to the small forests and far away from big cities (the nearest city is 80 km away), with no industry or factories nearby.
Produced to high ecological standards, our Bee bread is unprocessed, 100% pure and natural, and free from antibiotics and pesticides. Free from gluten, corn, wheat, soya and dairy and GMO ingredients.
Serving suggestion: Consume 1 or more teaspoons per day, preferably in the morning.
Storage instructions: Store in a dry, cool and dark place. Regarding refrigeration: it is best (but not necessary) to store bee bread in the fridge. Storing in the fridge, it will last longer than keeping it at room temperature. The only downside is that the product will have a harder consistency when you consume straight out of the fridge. This issue is solved if you keep the jar open for 2-3 days after you take it out from the fridge. The bee bread will absorb the humidity from the air and soften.
When the bees bring pollen back to the hive, they put it into the comb cells. After the cell is filled up to 2/3 with pollen, the rest is filled with honey and finally sealed with wax. Then anaerobic conditions appear. Anaerobic bacteria in synergy with a large variety of microbes, innumerate strains of yeast and different beneficial molds begin their work.
Complex chemical structures are broken into simple bonds, for example, proteins are broken into amino acids (in this way a lot of lactic acid and vitamin K is formed). While fermenting the pollen's inner container cell is broken down into substances that are easier to absorb. The lactic acid also can then be converted to glucose in the body, which is the main source of energy used throughout the body.
After three months of fermentation the sweet and sour tasting bee bread is ready. The bee bread granules are taken out of the comb cells in late autumn when the honey harvesting season ends up and bees start getting ready for winter. The granules stay fresh for 2.5 years if stored in a dry, cool and dark place. It is not recommended to keep them in the fridge.
Bee bread has a large variety of minerals and has high quantities of iron, cobalt, phosphorus, calcium. It is one of the richest natural foods containing selenium. Bee bread is also an excellent source of potassium and B-group vitamins. Amino acids, which are predigested for easy assimilation in the ratio that the human body needs, constitute about 15% of the dry substance in bee bread.

With the new year comes new challenges. We have had quite a few hardware upgrades (and unfortunately issues to go with them) over the last few weeks. Yesterday we had a hardware hiccup that impacted the SECURE Site, the STORE and Billing. For the most part, those hardware upgrades are done and we can get back to focusing on features for the site.
One recent change in a feature was the OINK message that was rolled out with the code upgrade in November. The OINK is now available only on the Profile Page. This was done to encourage people to open a profile before dropping an OINK on someone. As before, when an OINK is sent, the button will turn from orange to grey and cannot be used again until the OINK is over 30 days old. You may need to clear your cache to get this to function correctly, though. You can review your OINKS by going to WHO OINKED WHO. Keep in mind, once you send an OINK, you cannot unsend it. (Well, you can unsend the email, but the other member still gets the OINK!).
Stay tuned to the blog for more info!

This article is a collaboration between MedPage Today® and:
NEW YORK CITY -- A large integrated healthcare delivery system continued its success in taking hypertension control rates above 80%, researchers found.
After getting 80.4% of hypertensive patients to their blood pressure goals in 2009 -- as reported last year in the Journal of the American Medical Association -- the system was able to increase that rate to 86% in 2012, according to Joseph Young, MD, of Kaiser Permanente Northern California in Oakland, Calif.
In comparison, the national rate of hypertension control in 2012 was 63%, he told attendees at the American Society of Hypertension meeting here.
Commenting on the study, John Bisognano, MD, PhD, director of outpatient cardiology services at the University of Rochester Medical Center in New York state and president-elect of ASH, said the study was significant because it showed that a systematic focus on patients with uncontrolled hypertension can be effective at getting them to their blood pressure goals.
"It's not as if [the patients] needed extra drugs or different drugs or special medications," Bisognano told MedPage Today. "It's really they just had to be identified and have a special focus on them to improve their blood pressure control. And it really works."
Patients with uncontrolled blood pressure, he noted, are at high risk for developing a need for dialysis and for being hospitalized for conditions such as stroke and heart failure.
Thus, he said, "focusing on those patients can make a huge difference both in the patients' health -- which, of course, is what we're concerned with primarily -- but also with the overall healthcare dollar, which is increasingly important these days."
Young reported results from the Hypertension Project of Kaiser Permanente Northern California, a healthcare system in which more than 7,000 physicians provide care for about 2.3 million adult members at 21 hospitals and 45 medical facilities.
The first element of the project was the establishment of a hypertension registry in 2000. Included patients were identified by outpatient diagnostic codes, pharmaceutical use data, and hospitalization records; the accuracy of the method was verified by chart review audits of random samples of identified members.
Estimates of control rates were confined to patients meeting specifications from the National Committee for Quality Assurance-Healthcare Effectiveness Data and Information Set (NCQA-HEDIS): patients ages 18 to 85 who had continuous enrollment with a hypertension diagnosis confirmed one or more times in the medical record on or before June 30 of the measurement year. Patients with end-stage renal disease, pregnant women, and anybody admitted to a nonacute inpatient setting any time during the measurement year were excluded.
Aside from the establishment of the registry, other key aspects of the Kaiser approach to hypertension included:
- Provision of clinic-level feedback to induce operational and system-level changes. "We really focused on the team ... as opposed to on individual physician practices, and by so doing we were able to really engage and energize the staff in the clinic," Young said.
- Use of a simple and evidence-based treatment algorithm that includes a drug-treatment sequence and is updated every 2 years. Young highlighted the fall of beta-blockers from an option for first-line therapy in 2001 to fourth-line therapy by 2009.
- Use of a single-pill combination of the ACE inhibitor lisinopril and the diuretic hydrochlorothiazide. In 2001, the single-pill combination was prescribed just 13 times each month, but in 2012, the combination was prescribed more than 20,000 times each month. That represented about 30% of all prescriptions for ACE inhibitors.
- Blood pressure measurement checks performed by medical assistants. Young said that reduces the white-coat effect and minimizes overtreatment, enhances compliance because it eliminates the need for a copay and reduces delays, and "facilitates repatriation to primary care when blood pressure measurement is high outside of primary care." He noted that all of the medical assistants undergo annual competency training and that medical centers are encouraged to do spot checks on the medical assistants' techniques.
With this system in place, the blood pressure control rate increased from 44% in 2001 to 86% in 2012. Gains were seen across all patient groups, although rates remained about 5% lower in black patients compared with non-black patients.
"We are troubled and focusing on that," Young said.
Nationally, over the same time period, the control rate rose more modestly from 55% to 63%. Data for California became available in 2006, and from then up to 2012 the control rate increased from 65% to 69%.
Young acknowledged some limitations of the study, including the observational design, which precludes an assessment of the relative contributions of the various aspects of the program that were implemented to the improvements in blood pressure control and leaves open the possibility of residual confounding.
In addition, control was estimated using NCQA-HEDIS commercial data, which might not be accurate and does not apply to patients older than 85, and it is possible that the improvement seen in hypertension control could have been at least partly related to better documentation.

It's no secret: I am pizza OBSESSED. Always have been and probably always will be. The toughest part about going gluten free about a year ago was to cut out pizza from my diet. Luckily, over time I've found a few amazing gluten-free pizza restaurants in Boston. For those wondering, gluten-free pizza tastes exactly like regular pizza these days, except it might be a bit thinner crust and slightly more crumbly.
Since more and more people are going gluten free these days, I thought I'd share my running list of gluten-free pizza for everyone in the Boston area!
Best Gluten-Free Pizza in Boston
Oath Craft Pizza
Oath Craft Pizza is all about unique, gourmet ingredients and has locations all over Boston - from Chestnut Hill, to South Station, and most recently Coolidge Corner in Brookline.
You can create your own pizza ("The Selfie"), or opt for a craft pizza which are all really good! Plus, if you're in a hurry or don't want an entire pizza, you can order by the half.
Blaze Pizza
Blaze just opened in the Fenway neighborhood near Citizen Public House / Target area, and it's kind of like the Chipotle of pizza. You go down the line, choosing your fave fresh toppings, crusts, and they pop it in the oven for you. It's super quick and about as healthy as pizza gets!
Davio's is a great white-table-cloth Italian venue in Back Bay. They have great gluten-free pizzas for lunch, and just started a gluten-free brunch menu as well (at select locations like Back Bay)!
Sonsie on Newbury
Sonsie is another great Back Bay gluten-free pizza option. Nestled in the adorable brick-laden shopping street Newbury, it's the perfect spot to refuel after a full day of shopping or strolling around Boston.
Season's 52
Season's 52 is known for their great flatbreads, and luckily they have gluten-free options for these as well!
I love the toppings that Otto's pizza (from Portland, Maine), offers. My favorite from this Coolidge Corner venue is the gluten-free mango and pulled pork pizza. Yum!

So I was getting a strange error while trying to setup exchange to use a smart host. The Steps I had taken were to go into the the Send Connector that was already setup for email going out. I then Clicked on the Radio Button "Route mail through the following smart hosts:" I then added my mail server. Then I clicked on the change button beside "Smart host Authentication:" and put in the credentials. After clicking ok I got this error. "The DomainSecureEnabled parameter can't be set to $True unless the DNSRoutingEnabled parameter is also set $True."
Wierd, since I am new to Exchange 2007 I haven't gotten use to the shell so I was kinda lost on what it was saying. After Looking around the net no luck. I hit "OK" on the error and Canceled out of the Authentication dialog. After looking at the previous dialog I noticed the following Check mark for the setting opposite of using a smart host.
There is the option "Enable Domain Security (Mutual Auth TLS)." So I clicked the radio button back on "Use Domain system" and unchecked it" and then swapped back to "Route mail through the following smart hosts:" Went and put in the Authentication information again and it took it this time.
Personally the settting "Enable Domain Security" since it is a subsetting of Use domain Security it should have no effect on using a smart host. If so the Setting should be set to the bottom of both. Since if you choose route mail through smart host it gray's out that setting. Wierd. This might be fixed in Exchange 2007 SP2 but I don't know. Anyways hope it helps someone else out too.

Social Media in Government: Information Dissemination
"Information Dissemination" is the second in a series of articles about how governments are embracing social media. Want to learn more? Read the white paper, or watch the on-demand webinar featuring Beverly Macy.
Having the Right Followers
Reaching the right audience is one of the biggest challenges facing governments. With social media, governments can distribute information to their followers; reaching people interested in that government agency's specific mission. Taking cues from the commercial sector, this is an example of targeted messaging for governments. Reaching out to people who are interested in a specific topic. For example, individuals interested in environmental science can follow the specific government agencies that can provide information on those topics.
From the government's perspective, this is a wish come true: crafting and disseminating information knowing that it will reach an audience that is interested in such information. As social media evolves, sophisticated analysis can now show the content creators and administrators the true reach of their messages. Armed with hard data, governments can now make strategic shifts in their messaging as they discover what works and what doesn't.
It doesn't stop there. Having a significant following of influencers helps to amplify messaging. Shear numbers of followers is not as important as having the right followers. Subject matter experts and industry leaders can help propel information, via ReTweets or reference posts across multiple channels. If you post something interesting and William Shatner RTs it, you've just gained a potential 1.5 million impressions.
Emergency Communications
One of the most important missions for governments is to get emergency information to its citizens as quickly as possible. The techniques have evolved from simply communicating via news outlets covering local and national audiences (think CNN, BBC, etc.) to also include text messaging and social media. Mobile phones have outpaced television and radio – so governments have worked with telephone carriers to push text messages alerting citizens.
Social media allows for more clarity and detail beyond simple text messaging. It also leverages the amplification and networking effect, reaching a wider audience.
Last summer, the Washington D.C. area was hit by fast moving storm that knocked out power for millions. With a dead television, I had a couple of options: Get in my car and listen to the radio, hoping to find relevant information about my community, or reach for my iPhone. Of course, I reached for my phone – logged into Twitter and found the feeds for my local government and the power company serving my home. Within seconds I was able to assess the situation and more importantly, I was able to communicate directly with them without having to call them. Can you imagine the call hold times if telephones were the only option?
Want to learn more about how governments can start to leverage the power of social media for public communications? Download our white paper and watch the webinar: "Social Media in Government: 5 Key Considerations." Complete the form and you'll be given access to both the webinar and the white paper.

Spicy Drunken Noodles
Also known as pad kee mao, this can be varied from mild to sober-'em-up hot
Serves 2-3
Drunken noodle sauce
2 tablespoons Chinese vegetarian stir-fry sauce (see notes)
2 tablespoons Thai thin soy sauce
4 teaspoons brown sugar or palm sugar
1 tablespoon Thai Golden Mountain sauce
2 tablespoons Thai black soy sauce or Thai sweet soy sauce (or 1 tablespoon of each sauce)
2 teaspoons rice vinegar
2 teaspoons lime juice
2 to 3 teaspoons Asian chili garlic sauce or hot red pepper flakes
Noodles and vegetables
12 ounces (340g) Thai fresh flat rice noodles or fresh, Chinese ho fun noodles (see notes)
3 tablespoons peanut, canola, or grapeseed oil
5 cloves garlic, roughly chopped
3 to 4 red or green hot chilli peppers (Thai, Indian, or serrano), sliced into paper-thin rings
One 8-ounce (225g) package fried or baked tofu, sliced into 1/4-inch thin strips
3 cups (approx 150g) shredded Napa or savoy cabbage
1 carrot, sliced into matchsticks
3 scallions (spring onions), both green and white parts, thinly sliced
1/2 cup (half a bunch) lightly packed Thai basil leaves
1/2 cup (half a bunch) lightly packed cilantro (coriander) leaves
Lime wedges for squeezing over noodles
Prepare the noodles (see notes).
In a liquid measuring cup whisk together the vegetarian stir-fry sauce, Thai thin soy sauce, brown sugar, Golden Mountain sauce, black or sweet soy sauce, rice vinegar, lime juice, and chili sauce.
Chop the vegetables and arrange all of the ingredients within easy reach of the stove for the stir-fry.
Preheat a wok or large skillet over high heat, then pour in 1 tablespoon of the oil. When the oil is rippling, stir in the garlic and chilies, stir-fry for 1 minute, then add the tofu and fry another 2 to 3 minutes until the tofu browns on the edges. Transfer the tofu to a dinner plate. Add another tablespoon of oil and add the carrot, cabbage, and the white part of the scallions and fry for 2 minutes until slightly softened. Transfer to the plate with the tofu.
Add the remaining tablespoon of oil, add the noodles, and stir-fry for 1 minute. If the noodles start to stick, dribble in a teaspoon or two of water, but don't add too much or the noodles will become mushy.
Now, drizzle on half of the sauce, stir-fry for 2 minutes and return the tofu, cabbage, carrot, green parts of scallions, and the remaining sauce. Stir in the basil leaves and cilantro. Continue to stir-fry for another 1 to 2 minutes or until most of the liquid has been absorbed, everything is coated in sauce and the noodles are gently seared in some places.
Transfer immediately to serving plates and squeeze the lime wedges over the noodles before devouring.
Notes on ingredients
Sauces: Pad kee mao is best made with genuine Thai soy sauces. Chinese- or Japanese-style sauces don't have the correct flavors; your dish may be good, but it won't taste like Thai food. Thai thin soy sauce (light amber color, thin consistency, and strong, salty taste) does the job of standing in for fish sauce. Golden Mountain sauce is a special Thai seasoning sauce with a consistency and flavor slightly like Worcestershire sauce; it's vegan, with complex flavors that soy sauce alone can't cover. Thai black soy sauce and sweet soy sauce are thick and sweet sauces with molasses-like notes; both have their own unique character, but in a pinch are interchangeable. But for the most authentic tasting dish, use both.
Noodles: Regarding the rice noodles, you have license to use whatever you can find. Many Thai restaurants use slippery, chewy, wide fresh rice noodles. These noodles are delicious and will make the most authentic-tasting dish but can be difficult to find. If you can't find sliced, fresh flat rice noodles at Thai markets, investigate Chinese markets for bags of soft fresh rice ho fun noodles, huge rice noodles that resemble a floppy kitchen towel folded into a squishy bundle. Regular Pad Thai rice sticks, if not authentic, are an easy-to-find substitute.
If you can't use fresh ho fun noodles immediately, they can be refrigerated but will be stiff after being chilled a few hours (but they can keep for weeks, so it's worth stashing an extra bag in the fridge for future stir-fries). To refresh ho fun noodles, steam them for 4 to 8 minutes until soft and pliable enough to unfold; the older the noodle, the more steaming required. Gently unfold this super noodle (if it rips a little don't worry), and slice or tear into pieces. Don't worry if they're not pretty, they'll taste like dynamite in noodle stir-fries. Keep the fresh noodles covered with a moist paper towel until ready to stir-fry.
Noodle preparation: If the rice noodles are very fresh and soft, you don't need to cook them; just tear into bite-sized pieces if needed and proceed to the stir-fry. If already sliced, gently separate the noodles and set aside, or refold the ho fun several times into a wide tube and slice into wide, 2-to 3-inch strips. If the noodles have been refrigerated and are hard, set up a bamboo or metal steamer over boiling water. Steam the Thai noodles or the whole, unsliced ho fun until soft (4 to 8 minutes), then turn off the heat and keep covered.
If using ho fun, when the noodle is cool enough to handle, either slice into strips or tear into pieces 2 to 3 inches wide with your fingers. Keep covered until ready to use.
Add any of the following to the stir-fry before adding the noodles.
- With green peppercorns: Stir in 2 to 3 teaspoons of fresh green peppercorns along with the chilies.
- With shallots: Slice a large shallot into paper-thin slices and fry along with the garlic and chilies until golden.
- With snow peas, baby corn, or broccoli: Add a handful of snow peas, baby corn. or thinly sliced broccoli along with the cabbage.
- Without noodles: Omit the noodles entirely and double the amount of vegetables for a spicy all-vegetable Thai stir-fry.

Hi, I got this AGP 8x card recently to upgrade my new Athlon XP 2400+ Win98 PC using an MSI KM4M-L mobo. Every time insert the card into my AGP slot, I get this really bad graphical corruption:
In the bios, AGP is automatically set to 8x mode when the card is inserted (this option normally isn't visible with no card inserted), so it's not like the mobo doesn't support 8x or anything. Attempting to install the drivers didn't work, either. So, any ideas? I really want to get this working so I don't have to use the pretty bad S3 Unichrome integrated graphics anymore. Hope the card isn't simply dead. Thanks.

Spring Migration Coming to a Fulfilling EndSaturday, May 11th, 2013
Greetings Dry Tortugas birders,
I hope everyone made the most out of this year's spring migration, and maybe some of you made the Dry Tortugas part of the experience. We had a couple of late fronts that blew some exciting birds down at the park, including a fork-tailed flycatcher and over tw0-hundred yellow-billed cuckoos!
There has also been a regular black noddy spotted on the Bush Key tern colony for the last couple of weeks, although that particular bird continues to elude me.
Keep an eye out for bridled terns on the ride to and from the park, as they have been regular sightings while underway, and the roseate terns have been regularly sighted from the south coaling dock ruins.
The late warblers to show up were quite beautiful, including yellow, chestnut-sided, bay-breasted, magnolia, Tennessee, and Nashville.
Birders coming back for a repeat trip to the Dry Tortugas, keep in mind that the NPS has taken down the long-standing brick bird fountain from the parade ground, and temporarily replaced it with a small plastic container of fresh water. It's no where near as large as the prior fountain, and the water does not flow, but it does seem to attract the smaller passerines. Please direct any questions about the fountain and it's future to the National Park Rangers.
We also had an Antillean short-eared owl that was sighted several times over a tw0-week period in mid-April.
Also keep an eye out for continuing white-crowned pigeons, bobolinks, upland sandpipers, and a shiny cowbird this week!
Hope to see you out there!
Happy birding,
–Chelsea B.

Malaysia, Sep 26 2014. The water purifier market in Malaysia is expected to grow 229 percent, up from RM 18.64 billion in 2012 to RM61 billion in 2017, market research firm Market Pulse said Thursday.
The firm carried out an extensive survey among 10,000 households in 62 towns to glean consumer behaviour over the last few years to arrive at its conclusion.
"Nearly 67 per cent of the Malaysian households do not treat drinking water and those who treat were found to be relying largely on age-old boiling method. This situation has given rise to the water purifier market," Market Pulse chief executive officer Ejaz Hoda told .
Companies like Kent RO Malaysia offers three types of water purification technology - reverse osmosis (RO), ultra violet (UV) and offline or storage water purifiers.
The RO purifier market is likely to grow to more than three million units valued at almost RM41 billion in 2017 from the existing 786,000 units valued at almost RM10 billion, he said.
In the category of RO , UV and offline or storage water purifiers , Kent RO are the largest players in this market.

Rivington Hall Barn Wedding

Rivington Hall Barn Wedding
Emily and Neil's Rivington Hall Barn Winter Wedding
Emily and Neil's wedding was a cold one but the sun was shining at St Michael's Church in Flixton. Emily looked seriously stunning and her bouquet, though heavy, was so lovely with the colours fitting the winter theme perfectly.
The reception was at the amazing Rivington Hall Barn which I am familiar with as we spent many a weekend at the barn growing up watching all the bikers on a Saturday and Sunday. Rivington Barn is now well known for weddings and it is stunning inside with rustic saxon beams and fairy lights everywhere, its a wedding photographers dream.
The room was decorated beautifully and with the awesomeness of Gavin and the boys from The Rush the night partied on long and hard.
We managed to sneak off and brave the cold for 10 minutes for some portraits outside Rivington barn with Emily and Neil and then later on after the wedding breakfast we managed another 10 minutes in a quiet corner of the barn where I pulled out a couple of lights on them for some more gorgeous portraits.
A couple of days after the wedding Emily and Neil sent me a gorgeous bunch of flowers and chocolates thanking me….I was really shocked (pleasantly!) because they hadn't seen any of the pictures yet! When I did deliver all the pictures a few weeks later she wrote a lovely review about me which made me giggle…
Kelly photographed my wedding and I am over the moon with the pics! The whole day was captured so well from beginning to end bringing back lots of memories. I love the arty ones using the sunset, mirrors, etc to create really stunning effects! Only downside is that my house will now be CRAMMED with photo frames because I want them all on display Kelly Clarke is a camera genius!!
Thank you so much for asking me to be your Rivington Hall Barn Wedding photographer Emily and Neil! I had an amazing day. A massive thanks to the super talented Toni Darcy for helping me out too!

Not likely for fun, probably more likely 'cause urinating is painful and he's associating the litter box with pain, so he goes elsewhere. How long has he been doing this? Is he also still using the litter box at all? Good thing you have a vet appt today because it's possible his urethra is blocked or inflamed.

Blood tests probably aren't necessary at this point unless he's had this issue for a while and/or hasn't had blood work done in the last few years.
In the meantime, here is some really good info for you on urinary tract issues in cats:

Removing Vista in a Dual Boot with Windows 7
I have Vista on a separate disk from Windows 7. Windows 7 is on one of my partitions on the disk. I tried to format the disk with vista by going in to My Computer, and right clicking on the disk and formating it like that, but it says that Windows was unable to complete the format. I unchecked quick format and put the allocation to default instead of 4096 bytes.
I'm doing it this way because when I go to disk management, it keeps loading, but nothing is shown. I have had it open for a long time now, and still nothing is showing. All it says is "Loading disk configuration." When I close Disk Management and open it again, it stays at "Connection to Virtual Disk Service."
Virtual Disk Service is set to start manually, and it is started.
Is there any other way I can format the disk, or do I have to do it this way. I still want Disk Management to work though.
EDIT:I did some searching and I found out what the allocation unit size is. Is it better for me to decrease the allocation unit size if I'm using the disk as a backup?
|My System Specs
|04 Jul 2010
Download and burn free Partition Wizard bootable CD, boot it, select 1 for screen res, rightclick Win7, Modify>Set to Active, OK.
Now rightclick Vista to Delete, OK., Apply all steps.
Set Win7 as first HD to boot (after DVD) in BIOS setup.
Next boot the Win7 DVD Repair console or Repair CD, click through to Recovery Tools list to run Startup Repair up to 3 separate times with reboots to write the MBR to Win7.
If Disk Management will still not open, run sfc /scannow as Admin. If this fails, then run a Repair Install
|My System Specs
|04 Jul 2010
Thanks a lot for the help. After using startup repair, it worked for awhile then after restarting again, I was told bootmgr was missing or something I forget. Then I removed the cable from the disk that I had just formatted, and used Startup Repair again. Now I'm going to connect the cable again and see if it still works.
|My System Specs
|04 Jul 2010
Did you copy the boot files to the Windows 7 HD.
|My System Specs
|04 Jul 2010
Nope. I don't even have them in my Windows 7 partition right now. I have the hidden files showing.
EDIT:I forgot to say that my Disk Management works now.
|My System Specs
|04 Jul 2010
Please post back a screenshot of your full Disk Management drive map and listings, using Snipping Tool in Start Menu.
Is it starting correctly now? With or without Vista HD?
|My System Specs
|05 Jul 2010
It isn't working now that I put the backup HDD back in, the vista one. It just stops at "Loading disk configuration information..."
|My System Specs
|05 Jul 2010
I'm not sure what allocation unit size I should set the backup disk to. Should I reformat it again so that it is at the smallest size? Or should I leave it as 4096 bytes?
|My System Specs
|05 Jul 2010
Without seeing a screenshot we can't be certain what is causing the problem.
Since I believe you used Partition Wizard CD to delete Vista and mark Win7 active, boot back into it and make sure WIn7 HD is marked "System Active Boot," then rightclick Vista HD to Wipe partition with one set of zeros to make sure it's clean.
Then you can rightclick Vista to Create a new partition of full size to start (if that's what you want), format Logical and label "Data" or such.
If Win7 is not marked "System Active Boot' then check any other partitions present to see if they have those designations. Then rightclick Win7, select Modify>Set to Active, OK, Apply all steps.
Finally boot the WIn7 DVD Repair console or Repair CD, click through to Recovery Tools list to run Startup Repair up to 3 separate times with reboots to correctly recover the MBR into Win7 partition only.

Hi everybody,
I plan a trip next year with my big-scooter to western europe.
I wanna drive from Karlsruhe (Germany) to Paris (France), London (UK), Nottingham, Liverpool, Edinburgh, Belfast, Galway, Cork, Kilkenny, Dublin, Cardiff, Southampton, Brighton, Dover, Brussels to Home.
I plan to overnight on camp sites or bed and breakfast (what's cheaper).
Who can give me tips for my trips to those places
Is it good to travel on the motorway or over country road
Cause if I drive over road I need much more time. Mostly about 3 hours more. But I wanna see the country, the towns, the people beside. And I wanna drive that trip within 2 weeks
Thank you for helping

Seliger deserves credit for going to bat for Midland
- For the interfaith event Thursday night: Anytime we can have a discussion about religion with such a diverse cast, the community benefits. Leaders from five traditions discussed how their faith allows them to understand and confront contemporary issues. Scheduled to talk were Msgr. James Bridges of St. Stephen's Catholic Church; the Rev. James E. Liggett of St. Nicholas' Episcopal Church; Jay Mayo, pastor of adult ministries at Stonegate Fellowship; Satguru Bodhinatha Veylanswami of Kauai's Hindu Monastery; and Rabbi Sidney Zimelman of Temple Beth El.
- For state Sen. Kel Seliger: There was a time when many worried if a man from Amarillo really would fight for the concerns of the people from Midland-Odessa. This week offered another example that our representative will, not only for Midland but our oil industry. He thought the Senate bill dealing with the Railroad Commission didn't meet our expectations. In the end, Seliger didn't win the battle. But his actions showed he again is a representative of an entire district, not just Amarillo.
- For the Midland High girls soccer team: Kent Rivas' team beat El Paso Franklin to earn a spot in the Region I-5A soccer tournament, which is this weekend in Midland. The Lady Bulldogs will play their semifinal game at 3 p.m. today at Grande Communications Stadium. While mentioning the region tournament, we credit those responsible for bringing it to Midland. It is an example of sports marketing that makes sense for Midland and that the sports complex can attract new events and new sports tourism dollars to Midland.
- For the Texas A&M women's basketball team: Red Raiders, Longhorns and Bears may not like it, but Texas A&M winning the women's title was good for basketball, specifically girls basketball, in the state. And, yes, anytime a Texas team wins it all, we can appreciate that.
-- For the Hospital District and city of Midland. Installing "Light Guard" at the crosswalk in front of Midland Memorial Hospital on Illinois Avenue was the right thing to do. Hopefully, the flashing lights on the street and around a crosswalk sign will alert distracted motorists to pedestrians preparing to cross the street and will cause them to slow down. If this system -- purchased by the hospital for $18,000 -- prevents future accidents, it is money well-spent.
- For Midland's cyclical economy. It has caused a temporary housing shortage that may end up being worse than 2008. It's not what this city needs. There are waiting lists at hotels, and rent increases of $90 or more a month at apartments across town. It also appears there is no relief in sight. Yes, we know where this community's bread is buttered but we also need normalcy and relief for those who can't count on the big dollars being made in the energy sector right now.
-- For dog owners whose pets run free on city streets. Besides being in violation of the city's leash law, these pets are a nuisance to people walking in the neighborhood, may scare children playing outside and could become victims of car accidents. In addition, dogs that run loose often add to the city's unwanted pet population. We urge residents to be responsible pet owners and take extra care ensuring that their dogs don't get loose. Your neighbors would appreciate it.
What's the council going to do?
Sales tax revenue is soaring. Hotel/motel tax revenue is going through the roof. The MDC coffers are filling up fast. The Scharbauer Sports Complex board is swimming in cash.
How's the council going to act? There's a need for real leadership to come out of the council retreat being held this week. Water issues, infrastructure needs, tax rate concerns and our city's debt issues. We need to see that blueprint. We also don't need to lose our focus on extraneous items.
Will the council endorse the water plan being put forth by the mayors of San Angelo, Abilene and Midland? Are we going to see how public safety (fire department) concerns are being addressed? Are we headed to a brand new strategy for the MDC where infrastructure trumps incentives? How do we address this city's debt problems, which totaled $194 million as of October of last year? Will we allow for the kind of 4B spending that harms the long-term ability of the city to fund operations/maintenance of the facility after 2016? What's the message being sent to Midlanders expecting a property tax decrease because sales tax collections have increased 12 straight months and could surpass the 2008 level?
In addition, what will the city do as the need for housing approaches critical levels.
Probably gun-shy to get back in the apartment business because of the Blue Ridge saga, the council must know something has to be done.
There are a lot of questions. We wonder what the answers will be.

Converted and painted: Ilyad Warwolf to Circle Orboros Warpwolf
Next up is one of my favorite figures from my collection and the reason I started a Hordes Circle Orboros warband. As I was getting into the game when it first game out I went for Skorne first, but after getting bogged down in painting scheme, helmet swap and decal printing quandaries I decided to a smaller force that I would have fewer hangups about. Reading up on the Circle I liked quite a bit but didn't care for the Warpwolf model. However, I was immediately reminded of the awesome War Wolf figure by Ilyad, and Ilyad was on my brain already as they were going under and this would be my last chance to get the awesome "Vorag" barbarians and minotaurs. I lucked out and got pretty much everything I wanted on sale shipped from France (though despite the sale they wound up being more than I typically paid for figures of any kind).
But man, Ilyad figures beautiful, and the resin castings a joy for the most part. And by today's standards what I paid was pretty modest for any store-bought figures. Resin is one of those mediums that can be second-to-none in the hands of professionals like the original Armorcast team or Ilyad, or be a disaster like in the hands of Forge World, GW or the new Armorcast team. The detail on the Ilyad figs can't be beat. Gluing the arm of this beast on with no pin, no greenstuff, just CA glue alone, was a first for me. After gluing I could hardly see the join at all. Mold lines were virtually non-existent, and the gritty resin material files and sands down so much easier than any other medium. The Ilyad resin is light weight but sanding exposes some trace glints. I don't know about resin to tell if that is some kind of mixing agent like metal. There was one significant bubble area beneath one of the knees that I had to fill with greenstuff. Having looked over my other figures my thought is that a figure might pass QA if the bubble was in an easy to fill area on a larger figure. I haven't found any problems with detail areas. Faces, and armor, etc, the detail is simply better than metal, especially with regard to the pressure used to fill the mold. The volumes of the figures are fully fleshed out and don't have the squashed look that metal figures often have. And when you have a flat surface there is no concave surface like you have for Forge World, etc. All in all, superior to metal for this particular figure.
The finished figure:
When it comes to wolves I've always liked black ones ever since I had recurring dreams of them invading my dream winter manor as a young child (courtesy of the book the Wolves of Willoughby Chase, but the wolves are sadly all but forgotten mid-way through the book, whereas in my dreams they would come time and time again).
Anyhow, painting nearly all black is a fair challenge in and of itself and I went with a warm neutral tone in the highlights. As usual I used photo reference which was crucial to get how the hair on the back can be brown and the chin white, and the color of the gums. The pale green eyes are also after a particular wolf. And despite the finished product being more subtle and minimal and not having the bells and whistles I decided to see how it would fare at Kublacon (2008 I believe) and I was really pleased to come home with a Best Conversion and Bronze Master Kubla.
Here are some WIP shots of the conversion. I don't have any protips for doing armored detail. I just kind of muddled through and am pretty pleased with them though think I could do better given another chance as I've honed my sculpting craft a bit since then. I also made shin guards but decided the concept of shin guards on a wolf was a little goofy. You can also see how nice the Ilyad resin is, along with how I filled a bit of a hole under the left knee.
As always, the collection can be viewed in its entirety at flickr.
