Weeeellllll - it seems that FINALLY, the 8 month layoff is catching up to the rankings. I heard last night that the #2 player, Sergio Garcia, -(himself a winner of only six events, which is like 135th on the all time list) is poised to overtake Tiger this weekend. The funniest part about this was the absolute OUTRAGE that the on-air talent expressed at this - why how could ANYONE stake a claim to #1 except Tiger ? Oh, I get it - so NOW we notice that maybe there is a teeny problem with the rankings ???
Yet another example of the sheer comedy of this is the #16 ranking of wunderkid Rory McElroy of Norrthern Ireland. As pointed out by my pals at Fanhouse - the media has annointed Rory as the next coming of Eldrick the King - eerily similar to the treatment they gave el nino a decade ago. No doubt the kid has enormous talent, and is a welcome addition to the tour - but he is NINETEEN years old, with ONE win under his belt ( and a couple of, er, premature collapsications, shall we say). Can we at least wait for him to do a little more, maybe win at least two or three more times before we mention him in the same breath as a dude who has won 65 times ?
My point is this: the World Golf ranking methodology (God, what a stretch that is) is just as much a joke today as it was a year ago - all that has changed is that after 8 months of relative inactivity, someone has finally accumulated enough momentum (ha!) to overake Tiger. However, this change at the top of the list is what it took to illuminate how completely Fecked the process is. Trust me - as soon as Sergio passes Tiger (as soon as this weekend!!!!!), we will be FLOODED with stories, analysis, interviews, statistics,graphics (and maybe even a short game tip or two from Dave Pelz) ... all telling us how to fix the World Golf Rankings. Consider this, perhaps, a seismic moment in the world of golf...
P.S. - For those of you who would dare to defend the rankings as "scientific", you need only take a gander into the recent past - 'memba when M. Wie was ranked #2 on the LPGA tour's Rolex rankings - how did THAT work out... ???

Santiago de Compostela – One city, two faces
Among those in search of meaning in their life, Santiago de Compostela is a well-known pilgrimage site. But in addition to inviting contemplation, the capital of the northern Spanish province of Galicia is a starting point for all kinds of outdoor activities. We show you both sides.
Tomb of St. James
All pilgrims on the Camino de Santiago road head for Santiago de Compostela Cathedral. Around 900 years old, it is said to contain the apostle's relics.
Collecting stamps
The pilgrimage office will issue a certificate that proves you completed the walk as long as you collect enough stamps in your "pilgrim passport" along the way.
Are we there yet?
Situated sixty kilometers west of Santiago on the Atlantic coast, Cape Finisterre is considered by many to be the place where the Way of St. James actually ends.
Arts complex
Exhibitions, concerts, festivals: The Cidade de Cultura de Galicia is a pilgrimage site for culture fans – although the money ran out and it was never completed.
Gourmet market
Foodies may easily lose their way among Mercado de Abastos' 300 stalls. Mariscomania restaurant will whip up your fresh purchases into a tasty meal.
Fruit of the Gods
The Rías-Baixas wine-growing region in Galicia is famous for its crisp white wines produced from the Albariño grape. Most wineries hereabouts welcome visitors.
Fun on the water
Eddies, rapids, waterfalls: There are several good rivers for rafting near Santiago de Compostela, and the Deza and Ulla rivers are particularly popular.
Hole some putts
Andalusia is far too hot for practicing your hole-in-one, but Galicia's verdant golf courses boast Atlantic breezes and spectacular views.
Thirst for knowledge?
Night-time rally on medieval Rúa do Franco road: Santiago's students like to frequent the bars and taverns between Café O París and Dakar bar.
Into the woods
A good way to explore the forests, valleys and rivers near Santiago is by quad. After a brief introduction, even first-time riders can zoom off.
Don't hold your breath
The gaità, a variation on the bagpipes, is extremely popular in Galicia – and learning to play it isn't even all that hard.
Natural challenge
Rock climbing, kayaking and archery: Galipark, an adventure park southwest of Santiago, near Padrón, offers outdoor activities for the whole family.

Kirsten Flipkens takes magical ride to Wimbledon 2013 semi-finals
- From the section Tennis
- Venue:
- All England Club, London
- Date:
- 24 June - 7 July
- Coverage:
- Live on BBC One, BBC Two, BBC HD Channel, Red Button, BBC Radio 5 live, plus 10 live streams available on the BBC Sport website, tablet, mobile and connected TV.
Kirsten Flipkens enters a dark interview room wearing the brightest of tops and a smile to match - a smile that has lit up the All England Club and will remain on her face regardless of what happens in the coming days.
For this is a woman who was diagnosed with life-threatening blood clots in her legs 15 months ago and, ranked 262nd, was not even eligible to enter qualifying for Wimbledon 2012.
Struggling for sponsors and with her funding withdrawn by the Flemish Tennis Association, the Belgian's career was hanging by a thread.
But with the help of those closest to her - including four-time Grand Slam champion Kim Clijsters - Flipkens returned to fitness, collected wins and quietly climbed to world number 20.
Remarkably, she will play Marion Bartoli of France on Thursday for a place in the SW19 final. No wonder people are referring to Flipkens as the Cinderella of Wimbledon 2013.
"Not getting into qualifying last year and now to be a semi-finalist… it's more than a fairytale," the 27-year-old Belgian told BBC Sport.
"A year ago I was 26 years of age and ranked 262nd, so not a lot of people were believing in me and I'm happy I proved them wrong.
"It's a matter of love of the game, and being a Capricorn I'm very stubborn - that's why I fought back. I was feeling down, I had blood clots and I didn't get any financial support.
"Only about five people believed in me, giving me the confidence I could still do it and come back to the top level and be a top-100 player. To be in the top 20 is like a dream come true."
The blood clots were discovered after Flipkens returned from an ITF tournament in Thailand and saw her miss two months of the season.
"Two days before we had to leave to Japan for a Fed Cup tie they found I had four blood clots and told me I was very lucky," she explained.
"If I had stepped on the plane then nine times out of 10 I would have come out blue, so I was really lucky at that time.
"I feel very blessed that I'm still in the game, in Wimbledon. It's 10 years since I won the junior title, which makes it even more special, and it was my mum's birthday on Tuesday so I gave her the nicest present I could."
Flipkens lifted the 2003 girls' singles crown at Wimbledon and the US Open version a year earlier, but of her 13 senior tournament triumphs only one has come on the main WTA Tour.
She has been blighted by injuries, yet after returning in June 2012, the 5ft 5in right-hander qualified for the 2012 US Open, made round four at the Australian Open and was runner-up at a recent grass-court event in the Netherlands.
Then came Wimbledon and straight-sets victories over Yulia Putintseva, Bojana Jovanovski, Vesna Dolonc and Flavia Pennetta were followed by Tuesday's stunning victory over 2011 champion Petra Kvitova.
After each win Flipkens has laid down to kiss the turf and she remains in contention to become the first bespectacled women's champion at Wimbledon since Martina Navratilova in 1990.
"The celebration is a way for me to be thankful that I can play on the court and to all the people," she said. "I just love the grass. It's the way for me to thank Wimbledon."
Flipkens is the first Belgian to reach the Wimbledon semi-finals since Justine Henin in 2007, yet it is Clijsters who she looks up to.
"We've known each other from when we were six years old, I practice at her academy and our mums are very close friends," Flipkens revealed. "She was one of the few people still believing in me, she's like a big sister to me and is there for me through good times and bad.
"We've been texting all the time and she wanted to call me yesterday but we're superstitious so we're not going to speak on the phone until I'm out of the tournament.
"Reaching the fourth round for the first time was already very special and the dream continues. I don't know where it's going to end, I'm just enjoying every moment. I have 0.0 to lose so I can go out there and give 200%."
Flipkens reportedly once dated Rafael Nadal, rides a scooter and is an aspiring magician.
Whether on not any of that is true, she managed to baffle the BBC cameras with a card illusion and by making a handkerchief disappear.
"Flipper with magic tricks," she joked, referring to her nickname. "That would be amazing."
It would be even more amazing if Flipkens won Wimbledon, a fitting way to cap her fairytale story.

As a business owner, it makes sense that keeping income producing assets up-to-date is key to your efficiency and driving revenue. As technology develops, so too does the need for your business to regularly reassess revenue-generating assets in order to remain competitive.
Regularly upgrading equipment means continual investment. It means locking down working capital in purchased assets which may become obsolete, hard to sell or costly to dispose of. Furthermore, it freezes cash that could be otherwise used to maximise EOFY deal and tax-time savings, such as reducing your taxable income by pre-paying insurances or interest payments for the next financial year.
Fortunately, there are asset financing options to help you both increase productivity and free up cash, whilst taking advantage of tax benefits before June 30, 2018.
Michael's business
Michael owns a commercial plumbing contracting business. He's looking to add three vans to his fleet to begin servicing new areas. He wants to take advantage of the EOFY dealership sales, but does not want to tie up his working capital in multiple assets. He opts to finance each van with an equipment and vehicle loan, where the assets act as security for the loan. This way, he can use his available cash to pre-pay insurance and loan interest of each of the vehicles to reduce his taxable income this financial year. He can also instantly write-off the vans as they each fall under the $20k cut-off for the Instant Asset Write-Off Scheme.
There are a number of approaches that, like Michael, you can take in financing equipment or vehicles before the end of financial year, each with their own advantages and tax-time benefits.
Finance Lease
A finance lease means that the lender will purchase the equipment on your behalf. You will then pay the lease in instalments over a period of time. At the end of the lease you have the option of purchasing the asset (for a residual amount agreed at the beginning of the lease), trading in the asset for new equipment or simply ending the lease. If you look to purchase at the end of the lease, there is a risk that the asset will be worth less than the residual value.
Tax-time benefits of a finance lease:
Generally, you can claim the lease rental as a tax deduction. The lender pays the GST component, making your repayments lower.
Operating Lease
An operating lease is best for equipment that becomes outdated quickly. Jonathan Raymond, Director of LendingPro, advises, 'An operating lease is ideal for equipment that needs regular replacement and reduces the risk that you will end up owning obsolete technology. At the end of the lease period, you simply return the goods to the lender. Unlike a finance lease, the risk of the market value being less than the residual value lies entirely on the lender.'
Tax-time benefits of an operating lease:
Claim the full lease payments as a tax deduction, meaning you could pre-pay a portion of your lease before June 30, 2018 to minimise you taxable income. Like finance leasing, your repayments will be lower as the lender pays the GST component.
Equipment and Vehicle Loans
Otherwise known as a Chattel Mortgage (a "chattel" is a moveable asset). An equipment or vehicle loan means the lender provides you the finance to purchase the asset which you will then own. The asset also acts as security for the loan, meaning there is less documentation and often no down payment required.
Tax-time benefits of equipment and vehicle loans:
Claim the interest payments on the life of the loan. Instantly write the asset off with the Instant Asset Write-Off Scheme for assets under $20k. There is no limit to how many times you can claim. For assets over $20k, claim depreciation on the equipment used in your business.
As you approach the end of financial year, do an assessment of equipment necessary to create revenue for your business. Is it already, outdated by new models or technology? Are there new more efficient tools? What are your competitors using?
By utilising asset finance you are not limited by available cash in your business, so you can have an agile response to developing technologies for a competitive offering. LendingPro can help you determine what sort of asset finance can work for you. Visit lendingpro.com.au or call 1300 998 555 to speak to a specialist loan advisor.

Last week, we had the pleasure of attending a dinner and vodka-pairing at Scott Conant's Scarpetta in Chelsea and it was surely a tasty night.
With three pairings, we were taken from course to course by a variety of cocktails all from the guest of honor, Alchemia Infusions. From Wild Cherry to Alchemia Chocolate, the flavors were not your typical vodka infusions.
The night's favorite pairing was yellowtail with ginger and chili oil, tuna "sushi" with preserved truffles, and the farmer's market salad, all topped off with the Zenzero Frizzante (Alchemia ginger vodka with lemon, lime, ginger beer, and muddled cucumber). It was quite the zinger! Get a taste for yourself and try the recipe below.
U.S. & World
Scarpetta's Zenzero Frizzante
1.5oz Alchemia Ginger Vodka
0.75oz Simple Syrup
0.5oz Fresh Lemon Juice
0.5oz Fresh Lime Juice
2oz Ginger Beer
3 Cucumber Slices
Muddle cucumber almost into a puree, add Alchemia Ginger, simple syrup, lemon and lime juice. Add ice and shake vigorously. Strain into a collins glass over fresh ice. Top with 2oz of ginger beer. Garnish with 1 slice of cucumber.

Dinner Tonight: Quesadillas Stuffed with Greens and Feta Recipe
Your source for quick recipe every single week day.
The Los Angeles Times recently republished their favorite recipes of 2010, and one of them was a very interesting take on quesadillas—what food editor Russ Parsons deems the ideal dinner when you're looking for that elusive combination: real flavor, and not much time. With that in mind, this recipe takes a cue from the Mexican dish but moves things in a very different direction: hearty winter greens like kale, mustard, or collards are cooked down with onion, garlic, and red chile flakes, then studded with salty cubes of feta cheese.
On its own, this filling would make a superb side dish; the briny and salty feta cheese play a perfect foil against the savory greens. But slipped inside a corn tortilla and griddled, along with a few cubes of diced mozzarella, the whole thing melts into an oozy, satisfying dinner.
- Rated:
- 2 tablespoons oil
- 1/3 cup minced onion
- 1 pound mixed cooking greens, such as kale, mustard and collard, ribs removed and leaves roughly chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon crushed red chile flakes
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic
- 1 cup diced feta cheese
- 12 corn tortillas
- 1/4 pound low-moisture mozzarella, cut in small dice
In large (12-inch) skillet, heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium heat until shimmering. Add onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft and beginning to color, 3-5 minutes. Add rinsed greens with any water clinging to leaves, along with salt, chile flakes, and garlic. Cook, stirring frequently, until greens are tender, 15-30 minutes, depending on type used. Add water as necessary to keep skillet from drying out.
When greens are cooked, stir in feta and remove from heat. Season to taste with salt.
In large, heavy skillet or griddle, heat remaining oil over medium-high heat until shimming, using a spatula to spread evenly on surface. Add as many tortillas as will fit and cook on one side until softened, 2-3 minutes. Flip, then spoon 2-3 tablespoons of filling onto tortillas, along with some mozzarella. Use a spatula to fold tortillas in half.
Cook until tortillas are golden and cheese is melted, 2-3 minutes per side. If necessary, keep cooked quesadillas in warm oven until all are cooked. Repeat with remaining tortillas and filling. Serve immediately.

Let's face it: Like some kind of newfangled technology, our bodies are costing us more than ever. From gym visits to healthcare to diets, we're paying more to stay fit and healthy for longer.
And when we fail, we also pay: Healthcare costs have skyrocketed. Here are three healthy habits that come with a big price tag:
Going to the gym. Depending on where you live (and your penchant for amenities), gym memberships can cost upwards of $95 per month. Initiation fees, incremental price hikes, and extra charges to take that spinning class may jack up your annual outlay to well over $1,200. And a session with a personal trainer typically costs around $40 to $50 a pop, although you might find a buy-in-bulk deal.
Workout gear—which you'll need whether you do your sweating at a gym, outdoors, or in your own home—can be pretty steep, too. A snazzy women's workout tank from Lululemon Athletica costs more than $50, while the apparel company's yoga-style pants will run you nearly $100 per pair. But deals in the single digits can be found at chain discount stores like Wal-Mart and Target, where you can get Mossimo yoga pants for $14.99.
Following diet advice. Many of us are thankful for those glossy guides to getting swimsuit-ready, but tally up a few magazine subscriptions ranging from $12 to $25 per year, and you're shelling out some serious cash. There's never a shortage of reality TV stars or New Age gurus peddling their weight-loss plans, and hardcover copies of the latest diet book can usually ring up to around $25. If it's a more comprehensive plan for slimming down that gets you going, an annual membership at the likes of Weight Watchers will cost about $235 for the standard plan.
Buying health foods. While Americans spend far less of their disposable income on food than they did 50 years ago, they shell out increasing amounts on health-related foods and restaurant meals. In other words, they're paying for health and convenience. Agriculture Department statistics show than in 1930, families spent around 21 percent of their disposable income on food consumed at home and 3 percent on food consumed away from home. Compare that with the average family today, which spends just 5.7 percent of its disposable income on food consumed at home but 4.1 percent on food away from home.
The organic food industry is also booming—and sucking more money from consumer wallets in the process. Sticking with nonspecialty stores is also easier on the wallet; a survey from Washington Consumers' Checkbook shows that families that spend an average of $150 a week on groceries at a mainstream store such as Safeway would spend $3,510 more by shopping at Whole Foods. (They could also save $1,326 by shopping at a discount store such as Bottom Dollar Food, but they might not find any organic arugula there.)
Meanwhile, Americans are also willing to shell out cash for convenience, too. Processed foods, which include everything from cereal to baked goods, have expanded to make up about three-quarters of global food sales and now exceed $3.2 trillion a year, according to the Agriculture Department. Almost half of all money going to food in the United States is spent at restaurants, the National Restaurant Association reports. (In 1955, only $1 went to restaurants for every $4 spent on food.)
Put it all together—the growing costs of our exercise routines, dieting, and health food—and you can see why our bodies have become more expensive to maintain. The exercise industry, which was practically nonexistent 50 years ago, now rakes in billions of dollars a year. According to the National Sporting Goods Association, sales of sports-related footwear, clothing, and equipment exceed $53 billion a year. Americans buy $3 billion worth of treadmills alone annually.
Americans are also spending record amounts on their healthcare. According to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, total annual spending is now $2.2 trillion, or around $7,421 per person. Ten years ago, it was half that, and 20 years ago, total spending was a quarter of what it is today. Whether or not we're healthier as a result is the subject of much debate.

15-year-old Helena wrote a hundred years ago today:
Wednesday, January 18, 1911: Got a book out of the library at school today, which I'll have to manage to read pretty soon, as soon as I get time.
Her middle-aged grand-daughter's comments 100 years later:
Tuesday, January 18, 2010: Goodreads lists 180 books published in 1911 that are still in print. These probably were not the most popular books at the time, but rather they are the books that have endured –and whose message apparently continues to resonate a hundred years later.
Fourteen books on the list that I recognized the title or author of are listed below.
1. Peter Pan by J.M. Barrie (Barrie published the children's story in 1911–he'd written the play a few years earlier.)
All children, except one, grow up.
First line of Peter Pan
2. Ethan Frome by Edith Wharton
3. Riders of the Purple Sage by Zane Grey
4. My First Summer in the Sierra by John Muir
5. The Door in the Wall by H.G. Wells
6. The Scarlet Plague by Jack London
7. Under Western Eyes by Joseph Conrad
8. Jennie Gerhardt by Theodore Dreiser
9. The Quest of the Golden Fleece by W.E.B. DuBois
10. The Sea Fairies by L. Frank Baum
11.The Montessori Method by Marie Montessori
12. Roget International Thesaurus by Peter Mark Roget
13. The Principles of Scientific Management by Frederick Taylor
14. The Official Handbook for Boys by The Boys Scouts of America
The books cover the gamut, but they give an indication of some of the key issues of 1911–social norms (Wharton), civil rights (Dubois), good management (Taylor's famous–or perhaps infamous–time-motion studies measured how long it took factory workers to complete various tasks with the goal of increasing efficiency), early childhood education (Montessori), revolutionary movements (Conrad), and the environment (Muir). It's amazing how some of the issues haven't really changed much in 100 years–while in other cases the whole paradigm has shifted.

Ready for the most counter-intuitive piece of medical research you'll hear about today? University of Oklahoma Neuroscientist Junie Warrington and colleagues have discovered that controlled oxygen starvation can reverse radiation induced brain damage in mice. Does this mean that you can cross the atomic wasteland of your bombed-out city safely just by holding your breath?
Not quite - it's a bit more complicated than that.
When someone comes down with a brain tumor, they're often treated with whole brain radiation therapy (WBRT). The problem with this is that 40%-50% of survivors have to deal with cognitive impairment afterwards. The radiation decreases blood vessel density in important parts of the brain, essentially starving it of nutrients. You save the brain, but render it less effective.
What Warrington and her team have discovered is that this brain damage can be reversed in mice - just by depriving them of oxygen. One month after the radiation treatment, the mice were subjected to either normal oxygen levels, or 11% oxygen (hypoxia) for 28 days. By cutting the oxygen levels to half normal for almost a month, the researchers write, the treatment "completely reversed WBRT-induced impairments in learning." And blood vessel density increased, persisting for at least 2 months following hypoxia treatment.
It's not entirely clear why why this treatment works. The researchers believe that the WBRT may interfere with the body's ability to form new blood vessels, which the hypoxia may do something remedy. I wouldn't count on this hitting hospitals (or nuclear wastelands) until a lot more research has been done, but it's an intriguing vein of research.

Mountain Lion's Power Nap will keep your Mac updated and backed up while it sleeps
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Apple, PC / Laptop, Software
One cool new feature you can expect in OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion is Power Nap. Similar to Intel Smart Connect for Windows, Power Nap allows your Mac to keep itself updated and backed up while it sleeps. Your Mac email and calendars will stay updated, your Time Capsule backup will be performed, and even your system updates and Mac App Store updates will It syncs your computer's email, keeps track of calendars, syncs to Time Capsule, and downloads App Store and system software updates—all while your computer's asleep. One odd tidbit about this feature is that Power Nap only works with Macs that use flash SSD storage. So if you are rocking an HDD, you're out of luck on this one. Power Nap is one of many new features you can expect from Mountain Lion which will launch in July for $19.99.

I wouldn't call either one of the great minds of the era. Not as an insult, both highly intelligent men but just think there are others who were even greater.
I would probably go for Zhou Yu as the better strategist despite not knowing how his invasion of Yi would end up but perhaps Sima Yi (no slouch as he could be a bold strategist bar facing Zhuge Liang) the better all round mind given his political and propaganda abilities. Both perhaps strengths also lay in parts of their personality, Zhou Yu made a good commander becuase of his good nature, Sima Yi was successful becuase he had a ruthlessness that Cao Shuang (who did beat him politically for some time) lacked

Asier necesitaba un nuevo diseño de otro y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 31 diseños de 7 diseñadores freelance.
Design of the HTML email and the corresponding web landing page, for an emailing campaign to inform our customers of our PEFC certification and the benefits of it for them.
Mccgraphics is basically a printing company. We want to start to use the email channel to communicate to our customers updates & events. In this case we want to communicate them our new certicification in PEFC (chain of custody) and the benefit and possibility for them to use PEFC paper and to place PEFC logo on their print work. Refer to http://www.pefc.es/eng/index.htm for more info.
For that we want to send and email, and the corresponding web landing page with extended info, and for those that could not read the email correctly.
For the email:
- And appealing design. Graphics and colors based on an ecological theme. Green background colors, and a forest photo banner for example, but still open for new ideas.
- It also should appear our logo, that is basicly, the word mccgraphics where the color is mcc (in Pantone 201/RGB 152 30 50) and graphics in black. And also should appear the logo of the corporation where we belong. See botton right corner of this banner (http://digital.mccgraphics.com/img/banner.gif).The one with Humanity at work & Mondragon.Red color Pantone 201 & Orange Pantone 1655/RGB 251 79 20.
- The Text content of the email is going to be short, inviting to the reader to clic on a button for more info that redirects to the landing page. The text is going to inform that we have certified in PEFC ant that now can print with us his Cataloges, leaflets, etc, in PEFC paper and with PEFC logo.
- So it should have also a button for more info. The the text of the button can be initially "more info" we would translate and place the exact text at final design decision.
- It would be find if the shapes used for banner, photos or buttons, etc are with rounded corner, instead of square corners.For the landing page:
- Keep the same look & feel of the email design but adding more text and graphics. We will talk mainly about this things: -The compromise of our company with substainable management.
- -The benefits for the customer of our certification on PEFC,could be fine to complement this info with a picture of a printed paper with the PEFC logo placed (maybe there is some in PEFC web page),
- -Explanation of what the chain of custody meand (giving refer to http://www.PEFC.es). Interesting to add the PEFC web page logo to link the page.For any further detail please do not hesitate contacting me.
- We do not want the designer to think about the text content, the info given refering to it is just to explain idea, so the designer is ready to prepare the graphics according to it.

Even in my elementary school days I feel our dear old Andy Boni got a raw deal. I do believe he should be our national hero for he started the Katipunan, he started the ball rolling to begin the revolution and break free from the colonial masters. And what did he get for all his heroism and troubles? He got salvaged (executed) for being a rival party in the election for the head honcho of the revolutionary government. Then he lost out again almost a hundred years later in being a national hero. If that's not a raw deal I don't know what is.
It's no use arguing now about his place in history but what is undeniable is his courage, heroism, and his love of his country and fellow Filipinos. To you Andres, a big lambanog toast for being a real Pinoy! Thank you for all the things you have done for us.
What I have in mind to cook for him is something that can be considered essentially Filipino and at the same practical and nutritious for a revolutionary who had to eat on the go. And I thought why not our classic pancit. It's a complete meal in itself. It's got carbs, protein from the meat, and some wholesome veggies thrown in the process. Sounds like a good idea to me. :)
For the pancit recipe itself, this is the culmination of several years of my family's sacrifice of eating pancit as soggy and undercooked or dry and a bit tough or almost tasteless (prompting lots of toyo and lemon juice heaped on it). It took me awhile to get the hang of cooking the noodles just right. There is also the case with the oil, I used to put as little oil as possible while at the same time wondering what makes my mother's pancit well separated and really nice. Well I increased the oil exponentially with each batch - et voila! The oil is crucial! (I bet my doctor's not happy about this.) Too little will make it dry (obviously) and will tend to make it clump together. I also took my mother's advice of cooking the veggies separately to prevent it getting soggy. So like most dishes, cooking pancit successfully has a lot to do with timing. One revelation as well is that the richer your stock the better tasting your pancit will be. That my friend is guaranteed. :)
Pancit Bihon Guisado
250 g thin or medium rice noodles (bihon)
3 Tbsp oil
1 Tbsp minced garlic
1 medium onion - sliced
1/3 cup jullienned carrots
1/4 cup sliced celery (optional)
15 pieces mangetout (sitcharo)
1 cup shredded cabbage
1 cup sliced meat - chicken, pork, shrimp or combination of these*
1 1/2 cups rich stock
2 Tbsp dark soy sauce
freshly ground pepper
additional stock or water
- Soak the noodles in tepid water for about 20 minutes or until soft. Using scissors, cut into desired lengths. Drain and set aside.
- In a wok, heat 1 Tbsp of the oil in medium heat. Saute half of the garlic and half of the onions.
- Add the meat and stir fry a little. Season with salt and pepper.
- Add about 1/4 cup stock or water and simmer until done. You may have to add a bit more stock from time to time to keep it from drying out.
- When the meat is done, add the carrots, mangetout, and celery. Stir to combine. There should still be some liquid in the wok if not add about 2-3 Tbsp stock and then cook under cover for 2 minutes.
- Add the cabbage, stir fry for a few seconds and cook under cover for 1 minute.
- Remove from heat and transfer to a dish. Set aside.
- Using the same wok (no need to wash unless there's some burnt crust in the bottom), heat the remaining 2 Tbsp oil on medium heat.
- Saute the remaining garlic and onion until onion is translucent.
- Tip in the stock and any sauce drained from the meat and veg mixture.
- Add the soy sauce and season with black pepper.
- Bring to boil then add the noodles. Cover and bring to boil again then lower heat to medium-low.
- Once the sauce starts getting absorbed by the noodles (about 5 minutes), toss and stir the noodles (preferably with large forks for easier tossing) until all the sauce is absorbed and the noodles are fully cooked. The tossing also make sure that the strands are separated and do not clump together. Don't worry if the bottom is getting a bit crusty. At the end there should be no sauce left but the noodles should still be moist, cooked but not soggy.
- Add half of the meat/veg mixture and toss to mix.
- Dish up and transfer to a dish. Top with the rest of the meat/veg mixture. Serve with calamansi or lemon on the side.

Wednesday marks the beginning of sea turtle nesting season, which runs to Oct. 31.
Noel quickly flapped her fins as she moved forward and nipped at a shrimp swimming past her.
The loggerhead turtle is in the last stages of rehabilitation at the Gulfarium Marine Adventure Parkbefore she is returned to the Gulf of Mexico where she was rescued as a hatchling last fall.
Wednesday marks the beginning of sea turtle nesting season, which runs to Oct. 31.
See a photo gallery of sea turtles at the Gulfarium. >>
Local turtle experts say if this season is anything like last year, records likely will be broken for the number of nests.
�The Panhandle was out of its mind with sea turtles last year,� said Sharon Maxwell with South Walton Turtle Watch, who added that 97 nests were documented. �Our average is between 35 and 40.
�Finally, our hard work in saving these little critters is beginning to pay off and they�re coming back.�
Each year when the water warms, female turtles make their way onto the beach to dig nests in the sand and lay about 100 eggs that resemble ping-pong balls. They then cover the eggs with sand and head back to the water.
Allen McDowell, the sea turtle curator at the Gulfarium, said the large number of nests last year resulted in numerous rescues, including Noel, who is set to be released in the next few weeks.
Hatchlings are easily confused by light and can be hurt by debris on the beach. Florida law prohibits the taking, possession and disturbance of sea turtles, nests or eggs. Protection is also afforded to marine turtle habitat.
�All the turtles that nest here are either endangered, threatened or a species of concern,� said Jim Trifilo, coastal management coordinator for the Okaloosa County Tourist Development Department. �Basically, just don�t disturb the turtles. Don�t try to help them in any way. Just let them be.�
Specific authorization from the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission is required to conduct scientific, conservation or educational activities that involve sea turtles.
Walton County, Santa Rosa County and Destin have adopted lighting ordinances to help keep the hatchlings and their mothers safe during nesting season.
�The best thing I can say is just remember it�s their beach, also,� Maxwell said. �They have no other place to lay their eggs, so if you see a sea turtle on the beach stay in back of it and just call your local authorities.�

"Highly recommended . . . The beauty of [Steinbach's] narrative . . . lies in her luminous descriptions. . . . But it is her perceptive looks into the lives and minds and hearts of the people she meets through her studies that bring her settings to life and make this collection of essays truly engaging."
–Library Journal
"Steinbach makes such a life look highly desirable. . . . Her stories are powerfully seductive to anyone who's ever been tempted to get up and go, following interests wherever they may lead."
–Publishers Weekly
"A delicious experience . . . This book will entertain, educate and perhaps inspire readers to make their own journeys."
-–San Francisco Chronicle
"I loved Educating Alice….Alice Steinbach may visit some of the world's most popular tourist cities but she does not follow the ordinary tourist route. Oh no! Down the back alleys Alice Steinbach goes, slipping through side doors and riding on employees-only elevators; dropping huge, slippery salmon on the floor of the Ritz Escoffier Ecole de Gastronomie Francaise and charming retired geishas into showing her their prized kimonos, wrapped in rice paper and stowed in boxes in the attic. Ms. Steinbach must be who Henry James imagined when he advised novelists to try to become 'one upon whom nothing is lost.'"
—Sarah Pritchard, author of Crackpots: A Novel
"In these uncertain times, the smart thing to do is stay home and read Educating Alice: Adventures of a Curious Woman. Alice Steinbach has more fun than anybody, whether chasing sheep in Scotland, or taking cooking lessons at the Ritz in Paris, or swinging to a salsa beat in a down-at-the-heel cafe in Havanna, or taking a writing course in Prague, or studying landscape architecture in Provence, etc. etc. etc.— Alice's etceteras are limitless, and what all of us, surely, have always wanted to do ourselves. What is more, no matter what she does or who she sees or how hilarious the encounter, she is a lady to her toes."
—Jane Geniesse, author of Passionate Nomad: The Life of Freya Stark
"A brisk and companionate tour of the Paris Ritz, ancient streets of Kyoto, the Scottish Highlands, inner Prague and Renaissance Florence, in search of the secrets of French cooking, Japanese dance, sheepherding, writing and painting. Alice Steinbach's travel memoir serves up, in savory detail, the tricks and ingredients of these trades, even as she reveals steps in the intimate dance of an epistolary romance of her own."
—Jean McGarry, Chair of the Johns Hopkins University Writing Seminars

As we exclusively revealed last week, Dell is launching a new PS6000 line of EqualLogic iSCSI SAN arrays, featuring solid state drives and expanded software offerings.
Compared with the current PS5000 products, The PS6000 delivers up to 91 per cent faster sequential write workload performance and is up to 29 per cent faster for sequential read workloads.
There are five PS6000 models: PS6000E; PS6500E; PS6000X; PS6000XV; and PS6000S (details here). The PS6000S debuts solid state drives - the array has a separate controller dedicated to the SSDs. They can be combined, Dell says, to scale performance linearly.
The PS6000s can be integrated with existing PS5000 products to expand their virtual storage pools: a PS group can now have more than 500TB of capacity.
Dell is offering ProConsult services (ProConsulting in EMEA) to help customers design a storage infrastructure using the new boxes. A SAN Headquarters dashboard provides centralised monitoring of dozens of PS Groups and is available at no charge to in-warranty and service contract customers. Hyper-V Smart Copysnapshots is added to the EqualLogic software suite, so that Hyper-V virtual machines can be recovered in seconds. The PS6000 arrays are also VMware vStorage-ready.
Dell is also adding the NX4, based on EMC's Celerra NX4, to its product range, adding in filer capabilities for Windows, Linux, and UNIX environments, as well as the flexibility to consolidate file and application (block) storage via iSCSI or Fibre Channel.
The PS6000 arrays' pricing starts at $17,000 with the PS6000S starting at $25,000. The products and services are available worldwide from Dell and its partners. ®

A Big THANK YOU To Dwayne Raser for the following bit 'o history of our call sign!!
My name is Dwayne Raser and I live in San Jose.
I was poking around on Google, and decided to see if the call letters
Of the radio station I worked for in my very first job in radio are still
In use.
I put the letters in and came up with your address.
Thought you might be interested to know that KYTE-FM was a very small
station located in Livermore Calif. It went on the air in 1969. It was
located at 101.7 As a matter of fact, I was the first voice , when
the switch was turned on at the transmitter/station.
Would you believe that I came across a reel to reel tape of a show that
I and a lady named Sue Seward hosted each Friday night.
My family and I lived in Dublin at the time.
The station was owned by Peer Broadcasting. Programming was MOR with a
Mix of classical, show tunes, etc. during the course of sunrise to Midnight.
It was fun. I moved on in 1970.
Just thought you might be interested in the history of KYTE-FM.
Hope your station is doing well.
Dwayne Raser.
A Big THANK YOU To Dwayne Raser for the following bit 'o history of our call sign!!

This was the title of an article I had drafted in August 2010.
I never posted it on this blog.
I don't remember why I did not.
Maybe I had reached a deadend or that the time was not right.
So here it is with an epilog at the end.
I know I have shown you this picture before…
Philomène Lagacé's daughters
Joe said that this was his favorite picture.
If you look closely you will recognized someone.
Déjà vu?
Joe did not know all the names. Thirty years ago, someone had told him some of the names.
I asked Sandy about that picture and she had a theory…
Come back next time for "Pierre" Round the Clock.
Since August 2010, we found all about Libbie's daughters thanks to the help of so many people from the East Coast and the West Coast.
This makes this blog all worthwhile.
I just wanted to let everyone know how I feel about sharing my passion for Our Ancestors.

The half ended with Texas leading 51-25, Fisher led CCSU in the half with eight points and five rebounds.
The Blue Devils opened the second half with a 9-4 run, but Texas hit another basket just before the first media timeout to put Texas up 23 with 15:14 left in the game.
Central played much better in the second half scoring 33 points after the break, but the nationally ranked Longhorns were still able to stretch their lead with 43 points of their own.
The Blue Devils were led by 15 points from senior Jaclyn Babe. Babe scored 11 of her 15 in the second half. Junior Jessica Babe scored 10 points, with eight coming in the second half. Junior Lauren Arbogast also reached double-digits with 10 points.

Social gaze-following consists of both reflexive and volitional control mechanisms of saccades, similar to those evaluated in the antisaccade task. This similarity makes gaze-following an ideal medium for studying attention in a social context. The present study seeks to utilize reflexive gaze-following to develop a social paradigm for measuring attention control. Two gaze-following variations of the antisaccade task are evaluated. In version one, participants are cued with still images of a social partner looking either left or right. In version two, participants are cued with videos of a social partner shifting their gaze to the left or right. As with …

The blood bank analyzers market in Europe and Middle East & Africa (EMEA) is projected to gain high revenues by 2022, according to a report available on Radiant Insights, Inc. It is expected to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period (from 2016 to 2022). Prevalence of blood disorders globally and advancements in blood banking techniques are the key market drivers. Demand for lowered redundancies and cost-effective solutions is expected to positively influence market growth.

Blood bank analyzers are the medical devices that can automatically optimize blood grouping and conduct blood screening assays. They can increase the efficiency of laboratories and blood banks. These analyzers find application in all areas of clinical laboratories such as immunology, hematology, and transfusion medicine. Automation has been the talking point in blood banks since early 2000 as it can reduce the burden on workers. However, advent of novel technologies and high cost of assays have persuaded investments from blood banks. All these factors are anticipated to play crucial in shaping the market for blood bank analyzers in the years to come.
Innovations have led to development of technologically advanced devices. Immucor's latest blood analyzer, NEO, has separate modules to analyze various assays. It has a user-friendly interface that can assist in inventory management. It boasts of a lesser turnaround time of tests compared to other devices. Recently, BioTek Instruments collaborated with Immucor to launch an automated desktop blood assay instrument, Galileo Echo. It is aimed at small and medium laboratories. It can aid in carrying out Immunoglobulin G (IgG), Red Blood Cell (RBC) antibodies, RBC genotyping, and Rh (D) typing.
The blood bank analyzers market in EMEA is segmented into product, end user, and region. On the basis of products, it is bifurcated into fully and semi-automatic analyzers. Semi-automatic analyzers are utilized by laboratories with a small workload. It can lose its shares to its counterpart on account of possessing less safety features and high probability of human error. Fully automated systems are expected to be used in full capacity in transfusion centers.
Clinics, hospitals, and others are the key end–user segments. Hospitals and clinics are expected to exhibit significant CAGR respectively throughout the forecast period. Clinics are anticipated to gain a small market share in the forthcoming years due to the capacity to afford semi-automatic blood analyzers.

Regionally, the blood bank analyzers market is divided into Middle East, Africa, and Europe. Middle East market covers United Arab Emirates (UAE), Israel, Iran, and Saudi Arabia. Africa is further divided into Algeria, Nigeria, Egypt, and South Africa. Europe is split into Benelux, Germany, France, Russia, Italy, and United Kingdom (UK). Europe is expected to thrive during the forecast period due to increasing blood donation drives in Germany, the UK, and France. Focus on increasing the research pertaining to blood platelets and antibodies can augur well for regional market growth in the near future.
Notable companies in the market for blood bank analyzers are Immucor, Inc.; Beckman Coulter Inc.; Bio-Rad Laboratories, Inc.; Grifols, S.A.; and Hologic, Inc. Collaborations, partnerships, and acquisitions are business expansion strategies of these players in order to expand their customer base. For instance, Ortho Clinical Diagnostics has decided to ally itself with Cardinal Health in order to distribute its latest product, Ortho Vision Analyzer. This product can reduce human error redundancies and provide a novel approach for workflow monitoring.

First of all, I just want to thank you all for the sweet comments on my last post. Y'all are truly the best.
You know that biochemistry lab I have been bitching about for the last 9 weeks? Well, it is finally over. Completely. No more labs. No more lab reports. No more mid-protein-assay break downs. No more quizzes. And no more final.
I had so much anxiety about the final that it caused me to stress eat. Stress eating is something that I think is very common amongst women (especially school-aged), and is even more prevalent around midterms and finals. However, I usually don't have much of a problem with it. I've found that if you fill up on mostly balanced and nutritious foods during the day, you don't really have all that much room to cram in froyo, cookies, and brownie bars. But this lab final bypassed all that logic and sensibility and had me scouring our kitchen for anything with a 6 carbon chain and a hydroxyl group on the end. (AKA sugaaaaaa.) After a day or two of that, enough was enough. I decided to make something that was sweet, but actually satisfying and healthy to boot. And thus, the personal blueberry pie was born.
This little pie is sugar free, made from whole grains, and packs a punch of antioxidants. Sweet and delicious. Best of all, it can be made in under 5 minutes flat, if you want. The blubes burst in the microwave (or oven) and soak the granola and coconut in sweet blueberry juice. [Since it is sugar free, all you bloggers who are doing Alex's sugar free challenge can feel free to imbibe in this lil' beauty!]
Personal Vanilla Blueberry Pie
suga free and supa easy.
Recipe: Serves 1
3/4 cup blueberries (I am obsessed with Rhythm and Blueberries, if you're local!)
2 tbsp plain greek yogurt
4-5 drops vanilla NuNaturals stevia (or regular stevia + a few drops vanilla extract)
2 tbsp Love Grown Granola + 2 tbsp high fiber cereal (I used Fiber One Honey Clusters)
1-2 tbsp unsweetened coconut shreds
pinch salt
Directions – In a bowl, combine the blueberries, greek yogurt, stevia, and salt. Mix well. Scrape into a small ramekin. Top with granola, cereal, and coconut. To cook, either microwave for 1 minute (or until the blueberries have burst) or bake at 350 for about 8-10 minutes. Enjoy with a dollop of whipped cream!
Blueberries * have one of the highest concentrations of antioxidants of all fruits and veggies. Their anthocyanidins counteract free radicals, which damage cells and tissues. One study demonstrated that blueberries improve memory and learning capacity in aging animals. They also protect against all forms of cancer, especially colon and ovarian cancer.
Oats * A prime source of soluble fiber which has been proven to help lower total cholesterol levels. They also contain a unique antioxidant called avenanthramides which prevent the oxidation of LDL cholesterol. This is good because the oxidation of LDL cholesterol is part of the atherosclerosis process. Basically, oats help prevent heart disease. They also contain selenium, potassium, phosphorous, pantothenic acid, and magnesium.
I have been meaning to do a review of Love Grown Food's granola for ages now. They kindly sent me two flavors: Raisin Almond Crunch and Sweet Cranberry Pecan. Honestly, both were so good that this was the only recipe I was able to make with them before my housemates polished it all off! I am not usually a big granola fan, but Love Grown's texture is really different – in a great way. It is very crunchy and light. And they don't skimp on the goods, which is both rare and awesome. There are giant coconut flakes in every bite and each flavor had plenty of cranberries, raisins, and nuts. To top it all off, they don't add any artificial flavors, HFCS or hydrogenated fats (blech) to their products. Definitely a fabulous granola.

Will Harley-Davidson riders really warm up to the concept of an electric motorcycle? Harley's bikes are about as old-school (and just plain old) as you get, and that's how its customers like it. But now Harley wants to know what the faithful would expect from an electric bike. That's what this motorcycle is for.
Yesterday we got a teaser confirmation of Harley's electric bike, and today we get to see the real deal. Meet Project LiveWire. It is the storied Milwaukee company's first-ever electrified motorcycle.
But if an electric Harley is an extremely enticing proposition for you, don't get too excited just yet. It's not for sale or production.
Instead, Harley is taking it across the country, inviting customers to do test rides and provide feedback. Project LiveWire is taking a journey down Route 66 to more than 30 dealerships this year, and next year it will do the same in Canada and Europe as well.
Harley didn't release specs on the bike, except to say it will offer a "a no-excuses riding experience" and a visceral sound distinctive from other internal combustion and electric bikes on the market.
Check out more details, including test ride locations, at the project's official site. Who wants an electric Harley?

eOne is one of the industry's most significant buyers. Andreas Wiseman speaks to EVP of filmed entertainment Lara Thompson about the company's Cannes acquisition strategy.
Recent markets have been awash with chatter about eOne's blockbuster acquisition of Alliance Films, which created one of the industry's most comprehensive and diffuse acquisitions groups. Spanning three continents, the $230m Alliance takeover saw eOne add Spain to an already impressive distribution network that encompasses Canada, the UK, Australia, Benelux and the US, and sub-distribution agreements in France, Germany, South Korea, Scandinavia and South Africa.
Lara Thompson, eOne's Los Angeles-based acquisitions head, has been busily planning for the future. A six-year veteran at eOne, Thompson was promoted to EVP of filmed entertainment just before Cannes 2012, and was formerly SVP of worldwide acquisitions at Sony Pictures Worldwide Acquisitions Group.
While the Alliance takeover saw a number of experienced executives depart, Thompson managed to keep her team intact. And the changes have not affected their outlook, she says. "My team has been rock solid during this period. We have been 100% focused. We are very well placed to cover all the material in terms of personnel. And in terms of the way we work, it will be the same — my team gathers all the information, we disseminate it to the territories and then we work collaboratively to pick out what we want to buy."
Early offers
eOne picked up 20 films in Berlin this year, including The Good Lie, Our Kind Of Traitor and Yves Saint Laurent for multiple territories. Thompson and her team will now be looking to acquire early and often at Cannes, with the volume likely to approach 50 films across territories and windows. "Our philosophy will be the same as it always is," she says. "We are looking to source commercial product by making aggressive early offers. Other than a few one-off acquisitions we will be building the backbone a couple of years ahead, so for 2014 and 2015. But it's also important for us to maintain that local flavour as well. All our territories have had a lot of success with local films so while there is centralisation there is also a lot of autonomy."
The addition of Spain represents a challenge, admits Thompson. "Spain is a very challenging market. But some things are still working well. Jorge [Vazquez] and Igor [Ibeas, respectively, managing director and deputy managing director in Spain] who I worked with while I was at Momentum [as VP of acquisitions, 2004-07], are experts in their field and will guide us well."
The US remains largely a home entertainment business for eOne but the company is beginning to grow its theatrical ambitions in the territory. "The idea is to have a mixture of home entertainment, day-and-date and theatrical releases," says Thompson. "Clearly the US is very competitive. But we have just acquired David Cronenberg's Maps To The Stars, which will be our biggest theatrical release in the territory to date."
Key to Thompson's job will be overseeing eOne's burgeoning roster of output deals. As a result of the acquisition of Alliance last year, the Canadian outfit inherited relationships with Lionsgate in Canada; Summit and Lionsgate in Spain; and Relativity in Canada and the UK. These complement eOne's output deals with Summit for Canada, the UK and Australia/New Zealand and David Linde's Lava Bear for the UK, Canada and Benelux, plus agreements with Lakeshore, Morgan Creek, Remstar and Wrekin Hill.
Producer relationships
With former Alliance executive Xavier Marchand having decided to stay on at eOne to spearhead the company's production push, he will bring with him a slate of impressive producer relationships — all of which Thompson needs to factor into the slate. These include Jason Blum's Blumhouse Productions (Sinister, Insidious), Iain Canning and Emile Sherman's See-Saw (The King's Speech) and Hammer Productions and Exclusive Media (The Woman In Black). eOne is also due to distribute former Alliance project Suite Francaise starring Michelle Williams and Matthias Schoenaerts in the UK, Canada and Spain.
The company also recently signed a first-look financing and distribution output deal with US-based producer 1984 Private Defense Contractors, whose slate includes gangster thriller Corsica 72 from Skyfall writers Neal Purvis and Robert Wade, and its relationship with Lava Bear means it has a close eye on the likes of Ben Wheatley's Freakshift.
And with eOne likely to add another territory to its repertoire in the coming year, Thompson's diary looks set to become that little bit busier still.

FORT LEWIS, WA -- About 140 civilian employees at the Sheridan Sports and Fitness Center for Installation Management Command at Fort Lewis, WA, graduated in April from a six-month fitness program hosted by the Army.
To promote more productive employees, participants in the program were allowed to work out for three hours per week during duty hours and were offered the services of a personal trainer. In addition, program organizers monitored their blood pressure, cardio fitness, body fat and flexibility.
Most participants showed improvement in some, if not all, evaluated areas, says Cindy Branton, the Fort Lewis health promotion officer.
"Statistics say if they're exercising, employees are more productive," Branton says. "There is 'presenteeism' when you're present at work but you're not actually doing anything. Statistics show that when they're exercising, they feel better, they're healthier and they're more productive the hours they are at work. And stress levels decrease."
A second group of employees began the program and took benchmark evaluation tests as the first group completed them and graduated from the program.

Often times, the life expectancy of people who smoke (for a certain length of time) is decreased by 14 years. Smoking not only alters the body's immune response and causes bad breath, but it increases the risk of gum disease (periodontal disease) by two to seven-fold. Of course, the effects that smoking tobacco has on the periodontal tissues depends on how many cigarettes smoked daily and how long the person has sthe habits. Usually the periodontal tissues of men rather than women are more effected. Also, if you are being treated for gum disease, there are 4,000+ chemicals in cigarettes that slow down the healing of the gums including: formaldehyde, carbon monoxide, ammonia, arsenic. Smoking also gives a favorable environment for bacteria in the mouth like P. gingivalis, P. intermedia, and A.actinomycetemcomitans, because the byproducts of smoking inhibit the mechanisms that restrict the growth of bad bacteria in the oral cavity. With that said, smoking can encourage the early stages of periodontal lesions. Smoking cigars and pipes have similar negative effects that cigarettes do on oral health. So not only does smoking increase the damage that periodontal disease does, but it decreases the gum's response to treatment, possibly causing refractory disease. According to resources, if a person quits smoking, it is very likely that the harmful effects of tobacco use (on periodontal health) will gradually be stopped. Therefore, if you are a smoker with oral health problems, it is definitely the best idea to quit smoking.

The 500 Cities
created Nov 2 2016
updated Dec 5 2019
2017. Data were provided by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Division of Population Health, Epidemiology and Surveillance Branch. The project was funded by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) in conjunction with the CDC Foundation. This is a filtered subset of the 500 Cities data that provides model-based small area estimates for 27 measures of chronic disease related to unhealthy behaviors (5), health outcomes (13), and use of preventive services (9). It represents a first-of-its kind effort to release information on a large scale for cities and for small areas within those cities. It includes estimates for the 500 largest US cities and approximately 28,000 census tracts within these cities. These estimates can be used to identify emerging health problems and to inform development and implementation of effective, targeted public health prevention activities. Because the small area model cannot detect effects due to local interventions, users are cautioned against using these estimates for program or policy evaluations. Data sources used to generate these measures include Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) data (2017), Census Bureau 2010 census population data, and American Community Survey (ACS) 2013-2017 estimates. More information about the methodology can be found at www.cdc.gov/500cities.

It's been over two years since I've done a Young-at-Heart post. (You can blame motherhood for that one!) But I wanted to share what my family did for our parents' 50th wedding anniversary, which was last summer, by the way. (Yes, it's taken me a year to get this post out. Another thing for which you can blame motherhood!) I came across the site Dear Photograph, where people send in a picture of a picture, taken in the same spot but several years apart. I thought it would be fun to use the photo of my parents coming out of the church on their wedding day and take a picture of it in front of the church. Do you follow? Here it is:
And here is a picture of everyone (minus a couple in-laws who couldn't make the trip):
