Being Human è una serie televisiva co-prodotta da Stati Uniti e Canada e trasmessa dal 17 gennaio 2011 al 7 aprile 2014 sul network statunitense Syfy.

Questa serie è un remake della serie britannica Being Human, trasmessa dal 2009 dalla BBC. La trama è basata sull'insolita convivenza di un fantasma, un vampiro ed un licantropo che, nonostante la loro condizione, cercano di vivere come persone normali.

Il 17 marzo 2011 è stata rinnovata per una seconda stagione andata in onda nel corso del 2012. L'8 febbraio 2012 la serie è stata rinnovata anche per una terza stagione, composta come le precedenti da tredici episodi e andata in onda nel corso del 2013. Il 10 aprile 2013 è stata rinnovata per una quarta stagione, in seguito annunciata come l'ultima.

Trama
Aidan, Josh e Sally sono tre ragazzi che convivono in un appartamento a Boston. La loro potrebbe essere una convivenza come tante, se non fosse che sono rispettivamente un vampiro, un licantropo e un fantasma.

Personaggi e interpreti

Personaggi principali
Aidan Waite (stagioni 1-4), interpretato da Sam Witwer e doppiato da Giorgio Borghetti.Ha lavorato come infermiere nell'ospedale di Boston negli ultimi anni. È un vampiro di 257 anni, iniziato da Bishop durante la rivoluzione americana. Ha avuto una relazione con Rebecca, una ragazza che aveva ucciso e che Bishop aveva trasformato in vampiro, ma non ha avuto esito felice. Dopo aver ucciso Bishop, nella seconda stagione viene incaricato da Madre di assistere sua figlia Suren posta al comando dei vampiri di Boston. Da alcuni flashback si intuisce che i due, in passato, hanno avuto una storia.
Josh Levison (stagioni 1-4), interpretato da Sam Huntington e doppiato da Francesco Pezzulli (st. 1-3) e Edoardo Stoppacciaro (st. 4).Dopo essersi trasformato in un licantropo, ha condotto un'esistenza ai margini della società, isolato, finché non ha incontrato Aidan, con cui ha stabilito una profonda amicizia e che lo ha aiutato ad ottenere un lavoro presso l'ospedale. È proprio qui che Josh conosce Nora, una giovane e talentuosa infermiera con la quale inizia a frequentarsi. La loro storia diventa seria quando Nora rimane incinta di lui. Alla fine della prima stagione, durante la trasformazione, Josh graffia Nora che contrae la licantropia ed è per questo che inizia a cercare una cura.
Sally Malik (stagioni 1-4), interpretata da Meaghan Rath e doppiata da Domitilla D'Amico.È il fantasma di una ragazza morta prematuramente. Doveva sposarsi con Danny, con cui viveva nello stesso appartamento che ora divide con Josh e Aidan. Nel corso della serie, man mano, entra a conoscenza delle proprie capacità (possessione, teletrasporto, spostare oggetti, sognare) e conoscerà anche altre persone nella sua stessa condizione. Verso la fine della prima stagione sarebbe dovuta passare dall'altra parte poiché ciò che la teneva ancora legata a questo mondo (il suo omicidio invendicato, da parte del fidanzato Danny) era stato risolto, ma dopo un'aggressione di Bishop, la porta per passare oltre sparisce senza lasciare traccia. Nella seconda stagione conosce un'infermiera dell'ospedale dove lavorano Aidan e Josh capace di vedere e comunicare con gli spiriti e di farli reincarnare: Zoey.
James Bishop (stagione 1), interpretato da Mark Pellegrino e doppiato da Francesco Prando.È un vampiro trasformatosi nel corso del diciassettesimo secolo. Al di sopra della legge, è a capo di un'associazione di vampiri nella quale cerca in tutti i modi di far entrare anche Aidan. Viene ucciso da Aidan alla fine della prima stagione.
Nora Sergeant (ricorrente stagione 1, stagioni 2-4) interpretata da Kristen Hager e doppiata da Barbara De Bortoli.È la fidanzata di Josh. Dopo essere rimasta incinta di lui, viene trasformata alla fine della prima stagione, ma gli effetti della trasformazione si vedono durante il corso della seconda stagione; dopo la sua prima trasformazione perde il bambino. Lavora allo stesso ospedale di Aidan e Josh, il Suffolk County Hospital.
Suren (stagione 2), interpretata da Dichen Lachman.La figlia della potente vampira conosciuta solo con il nome di "Madre", viene scelta da quest'ultima per prendere il posto di Bishop, come capo dei vampiri di Boston. È stata esiliata per 80 anni per aver causato un massacro sanguinoso che ha costretto la famiglia di vampiri di Boston a una vita ai margini della società. Da alcuni flashback si intuisce che lei e Aidan, in passato, hanno avuto una storia.

Personaggi secondari
Rebecca (stagione 1), interpretata da Sarah Allen e doppiata da Federica De Bortoli.È una neo-vampira iniziata da Aidan, con cui vive un'avventura amorosa, destinata però a concludersi infelicemente: dopo aver ucciso il vampiro Marcus appartenente all'associazione di Bishop per salvare la vita di Aidan, poiché i vampiri non tollerano tali crimini, si farà uccidere dal suo amato per non soffrire ulteriormente ed essere finalmente libera.
Emily, interpretata da Alison Louder e doppiata da Alessia Amendola.È la sorella di Josh.
Danny (stagione 1), interpretato da Gianpaolo Venuta e doppiato da Davide Perino.È l'ex proprietario della casa in cui vivono Aidan e Josh. Doveva sposarsi con Sally, ma dopo la sua morte ha deciso di vendere la casa ed è tornato a vivere nel suo vecchio appartamento. Ha una relazione con Bridget, la migliore amica di Sally. Nel corso della serie si scopre che in realtà era stata lui la causa della morte di Sally, anche se accidentalmente: a seguito di un'accesa discussione, l'aveva spinta contro il muro facendola cadere dalle scale. In ogni caso, Danny non ha mai manifestato pentimento per ciò che ha fatto, anzi: egli tenta anche di liberarsi dello spirito della ragazza con l'aiuto di una medium, tentativo che fallirà miseramente. Alla fine Sally riuscirà a far uscire dalla sua vita Danny, anche con l'aiuto di Aidan.
Heggemann, interpretato da Terry Kinney.
Stevie Atkins, interpretato da Robert Naylor.
Henry Durham, interpretato da Kyle Schmid.
Zoey Gonzalez (stagioni 2-4), interpretata da Susanna Fournier.Un'infermiera presso l'ospedale nel reparto neonati che ha la capacità di vedere i fantasmi, anche se è ancora viva e non è un lupo mannaro. Ha la possibilità di unire le anime dei fantasmi con i neonati attraverso un processo simile alla reincarnazione.
Julia, interpretata da Natalie Brown.
Donna Gilchrist, interpretata da Amy Aquino.
Reaper/Scott, interpretato da Dusan Dukic.
"Madre" (stagione 2), interpretata da Deena Aziz.È il capo di tutti i vampiri. Lei è il vampiro più potente della serie ed è la madre di Suren. Mette Suren a capo dei vampiri di Boston, in sostituzione di Bishop, e ordina ad Aidan di sostenere Suren affinché riesca nell'impresa e in cambio lei lo libererà dai confini della società dei vampiri.
Ray (stagione 1), interpretato da Andreas Apergis e doppiato da Roberto Draghetti.È un licantropo che fa amicizia con Josh. È più vecchio di lui e per questo ha più esperienza, infatti da molti consigli a Josh su come comportarsi quando si trasforma. Ha un carattere piuttosto scontroso e impulsivo, specialmente nel periodo subito precedente alla luna piena.
Bridget (stagione 1), interpretata da Angela Galuppo e doppiata da Ilaria Latini.Era la migliore amica di Sally e porta sempre i fiori sulla sua tomba. Dopo aver baciato Danny, inizialmente si è sentita in colpa, soprattutto per l'amicizia che la legava a Sally, ma poi entrambi hanno ceduto. Tuttavia, dopo aver capito che persona era realmente Danny, capirà che è lui l'assassino di Sally, e lo lascerà, chiedendo anche scusa allo spirito dell'amica per aver ignorato i suoi tentativi di farglielo capire.
Nick Fenn (stagioni 1-3), interpretato da Pat Kiely.Un fantasma e vecchio compagno di college di Sally con cui ha avuto una relazione nel corso della prima stagione. Lui e Zoey iniziano a frequentarsi, con grande disappunto di Sally.
Robbie Malik, interpretato da Jesse Rath.
Kenny, interpretato da Connor Price.

Living your dreams! It's a bit of a roller coaster when you are on the entrepreneurial path or you are living your boldest dreams. There are inevitable ups and downs. You don't always know why, but something will come up, usually fear. You may second guess yourself and think that you can't continue on this path, which is completely normal!
In one of my past K Diary videos called, 'Pre Launch Jitters Of KirstyTV 'Kmart Meltdown', I was a little teary and emotional. I realized that I was feeling insecure about launching my own show (KirstyTV). Whatever it might be in your world, if you are feeling afraid and anxious about it all being perfect, at those times you need to lower your expectations and self love. You need to nurture yourself, surround yourself with good people and keep going for it one step at a time. Keep exercising that belief muscle!
Check out some more videos where I share great entrepreneurial lessons!


Chiropractic can help Fibromyalgia, Plantar Fasciitis and Vision Loss After Surgery!
Can you Treat Fibromyalgia with Chiropractic Care?
Have you ever wondered if there was another way to treat your fibromyalgia other than with pharmaceuticals? You may not have known that your chiropractor is actually a great treatment provider for this condition. This musculoskeletal disorder affects your whole body and it can be difficult to diagnose and treat.
Instead of typical and invasive treatment options, you can go with a safe, non-invasive, alternative option like chiropractic care. Whether you already see a chiropractor and never thought to seek treatment for your fibromyalgia that way, or you've never been to one, schedule your next appointment to take care of your fibromyalgia symptoms once and for all.
Fibromyalgia syndrome or FMS is disorder of the body that causes musculoskeletal pain in your muscles, joints, tends, and soft tissue. It is most often found in women but it only affects a tiny percentage of the US population. It often leads to other painful symptoms such as cognitive issues and sleep issues, depression and anxiety, irritable bowel syndrome and fatigue, as well as joint disorders such as temporomandibular joint disorders.
If you've ever wondered how fibromyalgia is diagnosed, it is a difficult thing to diagnose with the lack of a lab test to determine it. If you or someone you know has had widespread pain for 90 days or longer and there is no underlying medical condition, a physician is likely to diagnose it.
Doctors believe that it's caused by genetics, a physical trauma or stress, an emotional trauma or stress, or an infection. Unfortunately, physicians can't pinpoint the cause of the disorder and it can be difficult for patients and doctors to accept that. It is believed that it is caused from these reasons above.
With pain like the kind fibromyalgia presents, it's important to seek care to relieve the symptoms of the syndrome. Having overall wellness care is so good for the body, and can help with the care of fibromyalgia. In addition, your chiropractor can make adjustments needed to relieve the spine of subluxations caused from toxins, trauma, and your thoughts that cause stress.
Having misaligned vertebrae in the spine encourages these painful symptoms, and subluxations can work against your nervous system which is trying to send signals from your brain, spinal cord, and sensory organs to different parts of the body. Issues arise when the signals can't be transmitted from brain to body, but seeking chiropractic care can help manage symptoms including pain, sleep interruptions, and fatigue.
Pain often dissipates in patients when chiropractic care can assist in improving cervical and lumbar range. Your chiropractor will likely prescribe resistance training to be combined with your chiropractic care multiple times a week which can work to improve endurance and flexibility.
Don't think that your fibromyalgia pain must put a halt to enjoying life; seek chiropractic care to treat your symptoms from the inside out.
Postoperative vision loss (POVL) is a rare condition that typically occurs as a result of spine or cardiac surgery. Take the following studies into consideration: One study revealed that out of 3,450 surgeries, seven cases resulted in POVL. Similarly, another study reported 6 cases out of 14,102 surgeries that were associated with visual impairment post-surgery. Although this his data supports the low incidence rate POVL, it fails to address the need for solutions/treatments for these individuals.
There are 5 types of POVL that are known as external ocular injury; cortical blindness; retinal ischemia; ischemic optic neuropathy; and acute glaucoma. To date, treatment options largely depend on the type of POVL, however; they have yet to be deemed effective. For this reason, research is beginning to investigate alternative interventions such as chiropractic. In one case study, an 18-year old female expressed the following symptoms to a chiropractor: mid-back, neck, and low back pain, pain in her shoulders, numbness and tingling in both arms as well as her left leg and foot, vision loss in her left eye for two years, migraines, seizures, tinnitus, vertigo and digestive disorders. The patient experienced a stroke 4 years prior which required surgery and subsequently resulted in POVL.
maintenance of vision acuity, cessation of neck and back pain and fewer seizures as well as migraine headaches by the 11 th week of treatment.
The presented case study addresses the potential for chiropractic care to be used in the treatment of individuals who experience POVL. Additional research is required to support current findings.

Plantar Fasciitis – How Chiropractic can Help!
Over 2 million Americans suffer from a condition known as plantar fasciitis. The cause continues to be debated, although it said to be associated with inflammation of the plantar fascia and/or the result of degenerative changes in the connective tissue around a bone in the foot called the calcaneus (heel). Some of the contributing factors include: improper footwear, obesity, extensive standing, walking, and running in addition to other anatomical and biomechanical factors.
With so many people being affected by this disorder it is imperative that effective treatments are available. For example, evidence suggests that chiropractic care can provide great relief for patients.
Case Study: A 23-year old female with plantar fasciitis in the right foot sought chiropractic evaluation and intervention. Her primary complaint was severe bilateral foot pain that had been present for a month and a half prior to her consultation. More specifically, the patient experienced sharp pain at the base of her right foot that did not radiate, heel pain that was worse in the morning and aggravated with jogging, as well as the start of similar symptoms developing in her left foot. For temporary relief, the patient would use ice and rest with mild stretching. These symptoms made it incredibly difficult for her to complete activities throughout the day. She reported difficulty jogging due to the amount of pain she was experiencing and made several changes to her execution of exercises and choice of footwear to alleviate the pain.
Her chiropractic treatment involved 10, high velocity, low amplitude (HVLA) adjustments that were completed over the course of 4 months. Concluding these sessions, the patient shared that she felt less pain and as though she had stronger and more stable feet. Furthermore, the patient was able to jog lightly and wear different kinds of footwear.
It is important to understand that depending on one's condition(s), other instruments and interventions may be applied. In this scenario, the patient's treatment consisted of chiropractic adjustments as well as ultrasound therapy, rock tape, and neuromuscular re-education. As suggested by this article, chiropractic adjustments combined with other forms of treatment may be effective in providing relief for patients with plantar fasciitis. An important outcome of this study was the patient's return to completing activities of everyday living. However, additional research is required to further explore the relationship between chiropractic care and this condition.

"She must have been waiting for you," distant relatives said softly at the visitation, cupping my hand in theirs with furrowed brows and sympathetically tilted heads.
"I think so, too," my head would tilt back.
But I didn't actually think so. In reality, she was already gone by the time my plane touched the ground.
For years I've written off your people, cursed your winter-torn roads, pitied your empty shopping malls, lamented your land locked-ness, and readily given you the title of "The Land of Missed Opportunity." I made up my mind that you had nothing to offer me; you and I, we simply wanted different things. But for years, it turns out I was wrong.

It's All Fun and Games (Kobo eBook)
By Dave Barrett
"What would I do if my favorite fantasy world came to life? It's a question every nerd has asked him or herself, and Dave Barrett answers it in a tremendously fun, well-written story of swords, sorcery, and survival." — Dan Casey, Senior Editor of Nerdist
When Allison's best friend, TJ, convinces her to come along for an epic game of LARP (live-action roleplaying), she reluctantly agrees despite her reservations about the geeky pastime. TJ's weekends are filled with powerful wizardry, mystical creatures, and intense battles with his LARP group. Each adventure is full of surprises, but the goal is always the same—to defeat the monsters and find the treasure.
Not long after their quest begins, the friends discover that something has gone wrong. The fantasy world they've built has transformed, and the battle they're in the midst of is no longer make-believe.
Now they must fight for survival against brigands, kobolds, and other deadly mythical creatures that come to life. Fortunately, the group's once-fictional magical powers have also become real—including Allison's newly acquired gifts as a healer. They'll need everything in their arsenal if they hope to make it home alive.

For Dean Mead, embarking on a journey to Nutrisystem weight loss success did not come easy. Being overweight was uncomfortable and often humiliating: In middle school, he was already 300 pounds, and he was sent to a camp to lose weight. On the high school football team, the scale topped out at 375 pounds—and he was over.
In college, with food temptations everywhere, things got worse: His weight ballooned to more than 500 pounds, and the list of things he couldn't do got longer. He couldn't play with his nieces without getting winded. He couldn't climb a hill on vacation with his family to take in a great view. Getting out of the shower and bed were a struggle. And the worst, Dean says: He couldn't put on his own socks.
While he was hundreds of miles away at school, his family didn't see him for months. Dean drank Chocolate FreshStart Shakes to crush his cravings, ate pizza for dinner and used Nutrisystem's frozen and shelf-stable meals to help get his health and confidence back. When he finally visited his family on a beach vacation, he was already 140 pounds lighter*—and able to do all the things he couldn't do before when on family trips.
He kept losing weight—and gaining back confidence. Dean started lifting weights and has joined a nearby boxing club. Today, he's lost 245 pounds,* but people don't just see a lighter guy. They see the real Dean—active, funny and confident.


As legend would have it (and it indeed might be legend), a woman loved Neiman Marcus' famous chocolate chip cookies so much, she offered to pay for the recipe. Her waitress told her the cost would be "two fifty," and the woman agreed. Then she saw her credit card statement: $250. Yikes!
That story might just be a tall, half-baked tale. But it gets at the heart of dining in Dallas: Some dishes are so exceptional, so iconic they've become part of the intricate story of Dallas. Maybe they remind you of our history. Perhaps they've helped you define "delicious."
Here's a list of some of those coveted recipes. Now it's time to hit the grocery store.
Jack Keller, owner of Dallas' Keller's burger restaurants, says "it's hard to mess up a hamburger." He may be right, but a lot of us aren't making burgers as good as the famous Keller's. His secret is his grills, one of which has been seasoned for 40 years. It imparts flavor into his burgers you might not be able to get at home. His at-home trick is to use a seasoned cast-iron skillet – the older the better.
Keller's family has been making burgers in Dallas for 65 years. Take the recipe below as a suggested list of steps that might yield a Keller's-like burger. If it doesn't stack up, head to the old-school burger joints on Northwest Highway or Garland Road, and Keller's friendly staff would be happy to show you how it's done.
Warm a cast-iron skillet on low heat. Don't put the patty on the skillet until the skillet is warm.
Cook the burger meat, low to medium heat, on one side until the edges of the meat turn brown. Keller doesn't give a number of minutes per side; he judges when it's time to flip the meat based on its color. "You only turn a good piece of meat once," Keller reminds.
Place the poppy seed bun in a separate skillet on low heat. Mist it with water to lock in moisture.
Flip the burger when ready, then put a slice of cheese on the patty, if desired. Let it melt briefly, then put a slice of tomato on top of the cheese + burger stack. Sprinkle the tomato with salt and pepper and top it with a dill pickle.
Flip the poppy seed bun.
When burger is well done, pull it off the grill. Remove buns. Slather bottom piece of the poppy seed bun with Red Boy mustard. Plate the stack of beef + vegetables on top, and top it with the other bun.
To serve the burger like Keller's does, wrap half of it in wax paper, then enjoy.
A word on the well-done-ness of the burger: Keller believes all beef products taste best well-done. He says it's possible to produce a juicy, well-done burger if cooked properly on a seasoned grill or skillet.
Place the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar in the work bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Beat on medium speed for about 30 seconds, until the mixture is fluffy. Beat in the egg and vanilla for 30 seconds longer, until well combined.
In a mixing bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add to the mixer, while beating on slow speed., Beat for about 15 seconds, stir in the chocolate chips and espresso powder, and mix for 15 seconds longer.
Prepare a cookie sheet with about 2 tablespoons of shortening (or use a non-stick spray). Using a 1-ounce scoop, or using a 2 tablespoon measure, drop the cookie dough onto the cookie sheet in dollops about 3 inches apart. Gently press down on the dough with the back of a spoon to spread out into 2-inch circles; there should be room on the sheet of six or eight cookies at a time. Transfer to the oven in batches and bake for about 20 minutes or until the cookies are nicely browned around the edges. Bake for a little longer for crispier cookies.
When chef Brian Luscher purchased the Grape on Greenville Avenue in 2007, mushroom soup had been on the menu for more than three decades. He'd be crazy to take it off. And he won't, he assures: His regulars would be too heart-broken. Many tell stories of having first dates at the Grape, or getting proposed to, or celebrating anniversaries. The mushroom soup is part of the order almost every time. "Everybody's all about new and exciting," Luscher says. "Old and familiar is pretty delicious too."
In a heavy bottomed, 6-8 quart stock or soup pot, melt butter over medium-low heat. Add the onion, garlic, bay leaf and thyme, and cook until translucent.
Add the chopped mushrooms and cook until most of the water comes out. Add the sherry, if you like, and reduce by half. Add the flour and stir well to avoid lumps. (If you do get some, it's OK: They can be pureed out later). Slowly whisk in the broth or stock and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. You must continue to stir the soup at this point or the bottom may scorch.
When the soup comes to a boil, reduce the heat to low and simmer for 20 minutes uncovered, stirring occasionally. Finish by adding the heavy cream and nutmeg, and add salt and pepper to taste.
Remove the thyme and bay leaf. Puree the soup in a blender or with a hand-held blender.
This recipe may easily be cut in half. It freezes well if you make a larger batch.
Chef Dean Fearing, one of the fathers of Modern Texas cuisine, brings heavy Southwestern flair to his dishes. He's now the chef-owner of Fearing's in the Ritz-Carlton, though his style of cooking at the Mansion on Turtle Creek is one of many ways he's remembered in Dallas. Scads of home cooks have tried to recreate his famous soup -- available then at the Mansion, now as a slightly different recipe at Fearing's. The guessing game is over: Just follow this recipe.
To make onion puree: Chop onions, then add them in small batches to a blender. Blend until very smooth. Set 2 cups aside.
To roast chiles: Using a pair of kitchen tongs, hold each chili directly over open flame. Lightly roast each chili on all sides for about 30 to 45 seconds. (Be careful not to blacken or burn chiles.) When chiles are cool, remove seeds and stem. This same process can be done in a preheated 400 degree oven. Cook chilies for about 2 to 3 minutes.
Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add tortillas and garlic and sauté until tortillas are crisp and garlic is golden brown, about 4 to 5 minutes. Add onion puree and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally until reduced by half. Add tomato puree, roasted chilies, jalapeños, cumin, coriander, epazote, bay leaf and chicken stock. Bring to a boil. Lower heat and simmer for approximately 40 minutes. Skim fat from surface, if necessary. Remove bay leaf. Process through a food mill to attain the perfect consistency or use a blender. (Soup may become thick; thin out with additional chicken stock.) Season to taste with salt, lemon and cayenne.
Garnish each warm soup bowl with smoked chicken breast, avocado, shredded boyacá (Latin cheddar) cheese, green cabbage, red radish, jalapeño and corn tortillas. Ladle 8 ounces of tortilla soup over the garnish. Serve immediately.
"Hey, what's he eating?" customers would ask when they saw the Bob Armstrong Dip at Matt's El Rancho -- an off-the-menu item. It was a bowl of queso with taco meat, guacamole and sour cream, and Matt's regulars had never seen queso look like that before. The appetizer was named after the late Texas Land Commissioner Bob Armstrong, who once requested "anything besides queso" and fell in love with owner Matt Martinez's spur-of-the-moment concoction. The Martinez family finally added the Bob Armstrong Dip to the menu in the mid'90s, though they probably didn't have to: It had become enough of a sensation that most customers knew to ask for it anyhow.
Mix avocado, lime or lemon juice and salt in a bowl. Set aside; that's your guacamole.
In a saucepan, combine green chiles, tomatoes, 1/2 cup onion, 1/2 cup celery, 2 teaspoons Tex-Mex spice and chicken broth. Bring to a light simmer and cook for about 5 minutes. Turn heat down and add the cheese. Simmer until cheese is melted. Add water if it's too thick; add cheese if too thin. Set aside; that's your queso.
In a cold skillet, stir the bell pepper, 1/4 cup celery, 1/2 cup onion and 1 tablespoon plus two teaspoons Tex-Mex spice. Spread uncooked meat on top. Turn up to medium heat. When the meat starts to simmer, stir and break up meat. Simmer on low for 20 minutes. Set aside; that's your taco meat.
Warm a 9x13-inch pan. Spread guacamole in the pan, then add a layer of taco meat. Top with chile con queso and sour cream. Serve with chips.
The mile-high pie at Norma's Cafe isn't a mile high, of course. But you get the idea: It's tall. It's decadent. It's also one of Dallas' most famous pies. The folks at Norma's Cafe have been making the mile-high pie since the shop opened in 1956.
In double boiler, add milk and sugar and let heat to a simmer.
In separate bowl, dissolve corn starch with water (equal parts). Add vanilla and egg yolks and whisk together until the mixture is smooth and creamy, no lumps.
Add mixture slowly to simmering milk and sugar and cook mixture, whisking to prevent lumps for 5 to 15 minutes, or until mixture has thickened up, taking on the consistency of a vanilla pudding. Note: If your filling still will not thicken, you can add a little bit of gelatin to your mixture by following the directions on the gelatin packaging to bloom the gelatin, if required, then add to your mixture and whisk to combine. The gelatin will not change the consistency until the mixture has cooled. Be careful not to add too much gelatin, however: No more than a tablespoon or so.
Add the melted butter and cocoa. Whisk until smooth and creamy, no lumps. Pour in to pre-baked pie shell. Let pie cool for two hours. If you cool it in the fridge, let it come to room temperature again before putting it in the oven to bake the meringue, as you don't want to crack or break the pie pan from a drastic temperature change. Best bet is to cool it on the counter instead of in the fridge.
Once pie is cool, make meringue. In the bowl of a stand mixer or a large glass or metal mixing bowl with a hand mixer, add egg whites and cream of tartar. Make sure bowl is completely clean and free of any lint, dust or soap residue. Beat egg whites and cream of tartar until foamy.
Add sugar gradually, and continue to whip on high speed until stiff peaks form. When you think you are at stiff peaks, take your whisk and scrape all the way to the bottom of the bowl and check the very bottom of your egg whites. More often than not, they will need another 30 seconds to one minute of whipping, as the very bottom of the bowl tends to trap whites that don't get whipped up as much as the rest.
Spread meringue over pie filling, taking care to seal the edges. Sprinkle the top evenly with chocolate sprinkles.
Put in preheated 350 degree oven until lightly brown (about 15 minutes).
Surely you've heard of Mariano Martinez: He invented the frozen margarita machine. The Dallas restaurateur helped make frozen margaritas popular in North Texas and beyond. His original frozen margarita machine has since retired; he donated it to the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History, where it can continue to be remembered as an important tool in the life of tequila cocktails.
These days, Martinez prefers his margaritas on the rocks anyhow. His tastes have evolved, you might say. So in honor of Martinez's important invention, plus his new-found love for shaken, not blended margaritas, here's his signature cocktail.
On a cutting board, roll 2 whole limes back and forth using the palm of your hand. Cut the limes in half and hand squeeze 1 oz. of lime juice into a measuring cup.
Fill a 14-ounce Sorgente glass with ice. Salt the rim.
Add 2.5 ounces of Don Julio Reposado tequila into a shaker. Add 1 ounce of fresh lime juice. Add 2 drops of Agasweet agave nectar. Add 3/4 ounce Cointreau.
Shake mixture exactly 13 times in shaker tin. Pour mixture into the glass. 10. Serve with a 6" straw.
As for that fancy decorative lime in the picture, well, that's a secret. You'll have to go to La Hacienda Ranch or Mariano's Hacienda to get one.

Ever heard of NCH in London? Here's why you should come to us
Founded in 2011 by UK philosopher A C Grayling, New College of the Humanities (NCH), is a university-level college based in Bloomsbury, the academic heart of London. NCH offers its students liberal arts-inspired undergraduate degrees, and—from September 2016—its first postgraduate qualification with a Historical Research & Public History MA.
Here are seven reasons why you should consider NCH as a place to study:
1. One-to-one tutorial system
NCH offers all students weekly one-to-one tutorials. This allows students to really get into depth in their ideas, and gives them confidence in their own academic ability, with their beliefs and ideas being questioned by their tutor, thus allowing greater understanding of topics. Students also benefit from small teaching classes, with one of the best student-to-staff ratios in the UK. NCH students, for instance, get 30% more contact hours per week with academics than their Russell Group* peers. 97% of our students receive feedback on their essays in person versus 31% of Russell Group* undergraduates.
2. Visiting Professors
At NCH, our Visiting Professors collectively deliver around 100 lectures each year and actively shape the core curricula taught at the College. The Visiting Professoriate includes very well-known names, such as Simon Blackburn, Sir Partha Dasgupta, Richard Dawkins, Daniel Dennett, Bettany Hughes, Lawrence Krauss, Steven Pinker, Sir Christopher Ricks, and Adrian Zuckerman. Students benefit from access to these academics, who are also engaged with the College through social events. Sir Christopher Ricks, for example, holds a pizza evening every Christmas, where students can discuss ideas with him.
3. Our unique degrees
Undergraduates choose a combined honours degree comprising a 'major' subject and a complementary 'minor' subject, from any two of Art History, Economics, English, Geography, History, Philosophy, and Politics & International Relations. NCH also offers Philosophy, Politics & Economics (PPE) and Philosophy, Politics & History (PPH) combinations, Creative Writing as a minor option, and a single honours Law LLB. On top of your undergraduate degree, all students study the NCH Diploma, which includes Applied Ethics, Critical Reasoning and Science Literacy, and LAUNCH, a professional development programme to help students gain professional skills to succeed in the workplace.
4. Close proximity to facilities
Here at NCH, we as students are incredibly lucky to be situated in Bloomsbury, one of the best locations for higher education in the UK, with close proximity to many other universities, including University College London (UCL) and the The School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS). The Registry—NCH's main building, situated in Bedford Square—is a two minutes' walk to Senate House Library, the University of London Library, where NCH has its own reading room and personal collection. It's also in close proximity to Student Central, the main social hub of the University of London, where students can join clubs and societies.
5. Societies and clubs
With a small cohort of students, NCH is a tight-knit community in a big city. The small class sizes mean that students can get to know others in their course, with many discussions often taking place in the Junior Common Room (JCR) after lectures. Moreover, NCH has a wide range of clubs and societies, with students having the ability to create their own society with help from the Student Union, who actively provides funding. Students at the College are also able to participate in a huge array of clubs and societies, as well as events such as pub crawls, club nights, parties and balls, run by Student Central for students across the whole of London.
6. Studying in the heart of London
NCH is situated in the perfect location for students to explore London. The Registry is mere steps to the British Museum, which holds an exceptional collection of artefacts from around the world, and a few minutes walk from the shops of Oxford Street and Covent Garden, and the theatres of the West End. As 18th century English writer Samuel Johnson said: 'when a man is tired of London, he is tired of life; for there is in London all that life can afford.' London really is a city that makes it very difficult to be bored!
The city is a melting pot of people from all around the world, giving it a vibrant culture, and really offering something to suit all tastes and interests.
* Data was sourced by research agency Youthsight and compares the HEPI Student Academic Experience Survey 2016 with a NCH student survey using the same question format. Data for Russell Group undergraduates refers to those students studying social sciences and humanities.

Ethel "Dutch" Brink Memoir
Ethel "Dutch" Brink
Today I heard the sad news from my high school buddy Dan Brink that his mother, Ethel Brink had passed away. Her nickname was "Dutch" and she lived a long life of 94 years.
Dutch was a very special person to me-?-?like a surrogate mother. The entire Brink family was so kind to me. My own mother Helen had a stroke when I was 6 years old and was in a wheelchair for the rest of her life. Then when I was 15 my father Pete passed away. Bob Brink, Dutch's husband, had the difficult task of telling me that my dad had died. I lived with my grandparents until finishing high school.
Bob was Assistant Manager at the Oil City A & P Grocery Store. Later that summer, when I turned 16, he gave me a job as a bag and stock boy. It was a HUGE thing for me. It was a good-? paying union job and I made enough money to buy my first car and save money to later go to college. I was on my own and thanks (in great part) to the Brink family I grew into a strong, confident adult.
Dan Brink was the first trumpet player in the Oil City High School Band and we were close friends. Dan went into the Navy and later got two degrees at Penn State. But even after he was gone I still hung out at the Brink house. Bob and Dutch always had time for me. They constantly answered my questions and guided me with good advice in my life and career. Bob died more than 20 years ago and all of the Brink children moved on with their lives. But I still visited Dutch whenever I could get back to Oil City. She always had a bedroom and good meals for me. We discussed everything. She was super-?smart, had a great memory-?-?no subject was beyond her mind. I shared all of the important moments in my life with her: my degrees, marriages, career as a musician and teacher, travels and awards. She was proud of me and always made it comfortable for me to talk about anything.
For more than 50 years I have returned as a welcomed guest at her home. It was a focal point and a way for me to remain connected to my hometown—my roots.
Dutch was born in 1920 and lived in the Oil City area her entire life. She experienced so much: from the roaring 20s, the Depression, WW 2, and raised four wonderful children through the turbulent 60s and worked full-?time most of those years. For much of her life Oil City was a prosperous center of the oil industry. Early on she was a telephone operator and worked for Pennzoil. Her last many years of work were as a secretary at the Oil City District Schools. It seemed like she knew everyone and everyone knew her—and everyone liked her. Dutch was an outgoing and woman—strong well before women's lib. She was always positive and upbeat. Her last few years were physically challenging, including a lot of pain and the loss of her sight. But she remained strong and sharp of mind.
And she was nice to everyone. She outlived most of her best friends but for many years played in a weekly bridge club in town. She was a champion bridge player. And she drove her own car until almost 90.
I dedicated one of my CDs to her. It was called "My America" and loosely followed my musical career, including my years in Pennsylvania. It was a kind of jazzy group of folk songs and Americana. I think she was happy for that honor. I played once as an artist in Oil City with my jazz quintet and another time in nearby Franklin as a soloist with the Erie Philharmonic. Dutch was in the front row both times.
Dutch had no fear. One time while visiting OC I rented a Cessna and took her for scenic flight up over Niagara Falls. She flew with me another time when she visited me in Los Angeles.
A few years ago my brother Bill organized the one-?and-?only Self Family Reunion in Oil City at the Arlington Hotel. I have always tried to return to OC in late summer so I could sweet corn and tomatoes. For years I bragged about Dutch (and those delicious foods) to my brother Joe and my extended family in Los Angeles. They were all at the reunion and Dutch invited them to her house to eat corn and tomatoes. It was so cool!
Dutch was one of the most important people in my whole life. She was as close to me as any real mother could be. I really loved her and remain grateful to her for giving me a place to visit and call home.
My wife Jamie says "she was a dear soul—they don't make 'em like that anymore". I agree and feel so lucky she was in my life. A big emptiness will be there now but know that she had great long life, filled with love from her children (Dan, Terry, Randy and Ron), grandchildren, great grandchildren and many, many friends. Dutch was a positive force in this world and we are all better for having had her in our lives. Rest in Peace!

1. First, there are the two boys who keep shooting videos in one of their bedrooms. They are silly and fun, and I like their work, so this isn't so much a problem but…if they "accept" a HIT, then no one else can accept it. That's just how Amazon's machine works for right now. Obtaining a diverse set of performers is going to take a few rounds of hiring. I think this is normal in the workforce, even though I have very little managerial experience.
2. At first I had the HITs available for one week and when a worker accepted the HIT she/he could take the whole week to finish the job. This was a mistake. People would accept a HIT then forget about it, or lose interest, and the thing would be returned with no work. I'm thinking to myself, "Good thing I started this a few weeks in advance." (I think things like this to myself, also, because I have such little managerial experience). Now they're available for 5 – 7 days, but once someone accepts a HIT, she/he has only 24 hours to complete it. I like this a lot – I can see when HITs are accepted and I know to look again within a day to see the results.
3. There have been some truly inspired videos and I have encouraged those workers to submit additional entries, hopefully with a change of location or using different performers. I'm hoping that this will produce a mix of smart and entertaining works along with the silly videos.
At this point, I am really happy with the progress of this project. I even had a response with a worker's submitted URL that said, "This was fun to make." Precisely.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r0GLE0wxHKg
In Schnarr v. Blue Mountain Resorts Limited, 2018 ONCA 313, two appeals were heard together as they raised common issues. The cases have similar facts, as the plaintiffs were both patrons of ski resorts and had executed waivers of liability as a condition of their ski tickets. In both cases, the plaintiffs had been injured on the ski resorts' premises and had sued.
The plaintiffs had claimed in negligence under s. 3 of the Occupier's Liability Act (OLA) which sets out an occupier's duty of care to ensure their premises are reasonably safe for persons entering on the premises. They also claimed in contract under s.9(1) of the Consumer Protection Act (CPA) for a failure to provide services of reasonably acceptable quality, and under s.7(1) which reads:
The substantive and procedural rights given under this Act apply despite any agreement or waiver to the contrary.
The appeals raised the question of whether the CPA or the OLA governed the relationship between the parties. The Court of Appeal was asked to decide whether ss. 7 and 9 of the CPA vitiate or void a waiver of liability which is otherwise valid under s. 3 of the OLA, where the party seeking to rely on the waiver is both a "supplier" under the CPA and an "occupier" under the OLA.
Quick Answer
The Court of Appeal ultimately held that the statutes conflict and are irreconcilable. As such, the more specific provision in the OLA was found to prevail over the general provisions in the CPA. The plaintiffs were bound by the waivers.
Issues on Appeal
(a) Does s. 9 of the CPA conflict with s. 3 of the OLA, or can the impugned provisions be read harmoniously?
(b) If they conflict, how should each statute be interpreted and what effect should be given to the impugned provisions?
(c) In any event, does s. 93(2) of the CPA (allows the court to order that a consumer is bound by all or part of a consumer agreement) allow a court to hold a consumer bound to a voided waiver under s. 9(3) of the CPA ?
The Court of Appeal proceeded to conduct a statutory interpretation of the issues raised by the appeals using correctness as the standard of review. They referred to the Supreme Court's approach as set out by E.A. Driedger, Construction of Statutes, 2nd. Ed. (Toronto: Butterworths, 1983) at p. 87, that:
"The words of the Act had to be read in the entire context and in their grammatical and ordinary sense harmoniously with the scheme of the Act, the object of the Act, and the intention of parliament": Bell XpressVu Ltd. Partnership v. Rex, 2002 SCC 42, at. para. 26; and Indalex Ltd., re, 2013 SCC 6.
The Court of Appeal pointed out that the rules of statutory interpretation urge an approach that avoids a finding that two statutes conflict, which is premised on the "presumption of perfection". Despite this, the Court found a clear and direct conflict between the OLA and CPA, which was unavoidable. The OLA specifically contemplates an occupier obtaining a waiver of liability, whereas the CPA precludes a supplier from obtaining a waiver of liability.
Having addressed the first issue, the Court of Appeal then examined how the conflict should be resolved. The OLA is a statutory scheme that replaced the common law with respect to occupiers' liability. It created a single, unified statutory duty to take reasonable care to see that entrants and their property are reasonably safe on the occupiers' premises. Furthermore, the OLA allows for the restriction, modification or exclusion of the statutory duty. The Court found that the purpose of the OLA would be undermined if the CPA were allowed to introduce another novel contractual duty subjecting occupiers to an obligation to warrant that their premises are of a "reasonably acceptable quality".
The OLA deals directly with the ability of occupiers of a premises to obtain waivers of liability. In contrast, the CPA deals generally with all forms of consumer transactions. The Court found it difficult to accept that the Legislature went through the exercise of amending the OLA for the purpose of clarifying the liability of occupiers, and to encourage them to open their property for use by members of the public, all to have it rendered of no force or effect because of the existence of the CPA.
As such, the Court of Appeal concluded that ss. 7 and 9 of the CPA do not operate to void otherwise valid waivers executed under s.3(3) of the OLA.
Having reached their conclusion, it was unnecessary for the Court to address the third issue. Despite this, they conducted a brief analysis and concluded that s.93(2) cannot be used to give effect to a waiver that is voided by s. 9(3) of the CPA.

National Park Service and Grand Portage Band of the Lake Superior Chippewa
Approve VHS Prevention and Response Plan
(OMAHA, Nebraska) The four units of the National Park System on Lake Superior (Isle Royale National Park, Apostle Islands and Pictured Rocks National Lakeshores, and Grand Portage National Monument) and the Grand Portage Band of the Lake Superior Chippewa have approved a plan to protect park and tribal fishery resources from viral hemorrhagic septicemia, or VHS.
VHS is a deadly fish virus that was first detected in the lower Great Lakes in 2003 and continues to spread to additional locations each year, but has not yet been found in Lake Superior. VHS is known to infect at least 28 species of fish within the Lake Superior Basin, including many popular species for both commercial and recreational fishing and has been the cause of large fish kills in other parts of the Great Lakes. It spreads between fish through urine, feces and reproductive fluids released into the water and through the eating of other infected fish. Park and tribal fishery biologists believe the virus has significant potential to impact the ecological integrity of fishery resources in these protected areas and recreational fishing opportunities. The virus does not impact humans.
The plan developed by the National Park Service and the Grand Portage Band identifies six major categories of vectors which could cause the spread of VHS into and within these parks and reservation waters: Aquaculture, Untreated Ballast Water, Commercial and Subsistence Fishing, Movement/Migration of Fish, NPS and Reservation Operations and Water-Based Recreational Activities.
The plan also analyzes the likelihood (relative risks) associated with these various vectors and includes recommendations on what must be done to mitigate the threat posed by that specific risk. The highest risk vectors include the use of VHS infected bait by fisherman, the spread of VHS by infected water and/or fish in boats, agency and tribal operations, and untreated ballast water exchange.
The plan outlines 16 recommended Prevention Actions including an aggressive Public Education and Outreach Campaign, recommendations to restrict the use of any fish bait that is a potential vector of VHS within park units, requiring that agency and recreational boats and associated equipment be properly decontaminated before launch within National Park Service waters, prohibiting the exchange of ballast water within park units, and close collaboration between other federal, state and local agencies and organizations that have broader authority and jurisdiction over VHS related issues. The plan was developed by an interagency group of subject matter experts representing a broad spectrum of perspectives and expertise.
"The National Park Service has a legal obligation to do everything we can possibly do to keep VHS from impacting the fishery resources in these parks, and we also want to be good citizens in preventing the parks within the Lake Superior Basin from becoming an initial source of VHS infection in the larger Lake Superior watershed," said National Park Service Midwest Regional Director Ernie Quintana. "However, because these four parks are linked by Lake Superior but located in three states - Michigan, Wisconsin and Minnesota - all of which have taken slightly different approaches to preventing the spread of VHS, we needed a comprehensive plan to protect the parks, where we have a very high preservation mandate."
"I commend these four parks and the Grand Portage Band for working together to develop a solid prevention and response plan," Quintana added. "But it is also clear that we can not do it alone. This is a complex issue over which we do not have full control or jurisdiction. Preventing this disease from impacting the fishery resources in these parks will require sensitive and sophisticated collaboration between a number of other agencies, the respective states, local boaters and anglers, and the visitors to these parks," Quintana emphasized.
"Fish are life," said Norman Deschampe, Grand Portage Band Tribal Chairman. "They sustain us physically and are a part of who we are. Our people have lived along the lake and have fished from the lake forever. We are delighted to work with the National Park Service, or any entity, to prevent VHS from entering Lake Superior. We must all collaborate to keep it from spreading westward into Lake Superior and into other inland lakes." The Grand Portage Band is a full partner in the creation of this prevention plan and has joint management responsibilities for Grand Portage National Monument along with the National Park Service.
"This virus is known to emerge and spread fairly rapidly in the early spring. With the spring shipping and fishing seasons upon us, we will have to move quickly to prevent the spread of the virus this spring. Some parks may have to impose emergency restrictions to require boat decontamination and prohibit the use of potentially infected bait within the park. However, we look forward to and appreciate the opportunity to work with all interested stakeholders, including individual anglers, in implementing this plan and protecting local fishery resources from this and other aquatic nuisance species," Regional Director Quintana concluded.

We Are Being Buried Alive in Debt! HELP!
The Obama budget represents the biggest disaster in our entire fiscal history (Michael J. Boskin, "Debt Roulette," Hoover Digest, July 2, 2010).
In addition to the proposed increase from today's levels in taxing capital gains, dividends, payrolls, incomes, and the initiation of an energy taxes, the enormous deficits and endless accumulation of debt by the Obama Administration will eventually force growth-inhibiting income tax hikes, a national value-added tax similar to those in Europe, and/or severe inflation.
1. In the first three years of Obama's term, federal spending will rise about 4.4% of gross domestic product (GDP), far more than during President Johnson's Great Society and Vietnam War buildup and President Reagan's defense buildup combined.
2. Spending will hit the highest level in American history (25.1 percent of GDP) except for the peak of World War II.
3. The deficit of $1.4 trillion (9.6 percent of GDP) is more than three times the previous record in 2008.
4. Obama will add more to the deficit in his first two years than President George W. Bush added in eight years in office.
5. In his first 15 months, Obama will raise the debt burden — the ratio of the national debt to GDP — by more than President Reagan did in eight years.
6. This debt and current and future taxes are rising just as the baby boomers are retiring and the costs of entitlements are growing, which will require major reform.
7. The Obama programs increase the number of people getting more money back from the government than they pay in taxes to almost 50%.
The Obama regime and his minions in Congress are pushing the United States into bankruptcy. Who will bail us out? China? Saudi Arabia? Europe? Or nobody? Will November stem the tide, or are we slated to be the next Greece?
Unless something is done soon, 2011 will also come with innumerable tax hikes — including a return of the death tax — that will be REAL killers (Editorial, "The Tax Tsunami On The Horizon," Investor's Business Daily, July 21, 2010).
1.The lowest bracket for the personal income tax increases 50% — to 15% from 10% .
2. The next lowest bracket — 25% — will rise to 28%, and the old 28% bracket will be 31%.
3. The 33 % bracket rises to 36% and the 35% bracket becomes 39.6%.
4. The marriage penalty reappears and the capital gains tax will go up 33% — to 20% from 15%.
5.The tax on dividends will go up from 15% to 39.6% — a 164 % increase.
6. The capital gains and dividend taxes will go up further in 2013 when ObamaCare adds a 3.8% Medicare levy for individuals making more than $200,000 a year and joint filers making more than $250,000.
7. Other tax hikes include cutting the child tax credit to $500 from $1,000 and fixing the standard deduction for couples at the same level as it is for single filers.
8. Allowing the Bush tax cuts to expire will cost taxpayers $115 billion next year alone, according to the Congressional Budget Office, and $2.6 trillion through 2020.
Raising taxes like this is catastrophic for the economy in general and for the personal lives of all Americans especially those in the middle class and retirees. Thank you Mr. President and the Democrat Party!!
The Dodd-Frank financial reform bill that passed the Senate last week will generate humongous levels of red tape. The 2,300 pages(!) are so complicated that a debate has broken out over precisely how many new regulatory rule-makings it will require (Wall Street Journal "The Uncertainty Principle – II," Wall Street Journal, July 16, 2010).
Two hundred and forty-three or more new federal rule-makings are on the way; 67 one-time studies; and 22 new periodic reports. This is a minimum estimate, counting only the new regulations mandated by the bill.
The U.S. Chamber of Commerce adds to this estimate by including additional rule makings mandated by this legislation: American businesses will experience 533 new sets of rules. Sarbanes-Oxley, Washington's last atrocious exercise in financial regulatory overreach, had only 16 new regulations!
But even these analyses do not count the duplicate rule-makings, when different agencies create different rules governing the same activity, as they are stipulated to do under Dodd-Frank.
In the near term, Dodd-Frank will result in higher cost of credit, and a bigger market share for the mega banks that can more easily absorb the new regulatory costs. In the longer term, the bill will very likely not prevent (or effectively deal with) the next financial crisis.
Our economic status as a financial force in the world is being destroyed by an out-of-control Democrat Congress and presidential regime. And note that Dodd and Frank were partly responsible for us falling into this severe recession. Will November stem the tide, or will things continue to deteriorate?
Say Goodbye to Your Doctor?
With the enactment of ObamaCare, the country's largest insurers are beginning to offer affordable plans with reduced premiums that offer participants a more limited menu of doctors and hospitals (Reed Abelson, "Insurers Push Plans That Limit Choice of Doctor," New York Times, July 17, 2010).
These plans are being tested in places like New York, Chicago, San Diego, and other cities. Such plans will likely appeal to small businesses that already provide insurance to their employees, but are upset about the ever-increasing cost of coverage.
Large employers have already started to show interest, and insurers and consultants expect that ultimately, businesses of all sizes will gravitate toward these plans in order to cut costs.
More Americans will now be asked to pay higher prices for the ability to choose or keep their own doctors if they are outside the new networks. This will occur despite the repeated assurances from President Obama and others in his regime that consumers would hang on to a variety of health care choices. Companies might reduce their premiums up to 15%, the insurers offering the more limited plans indicate.
The plans will likely be popular with individuals and small businesses who are mandated to purchase coverage in the insurance exchanges, or marketplaces when ObamaCare takes effect fully in 2014.
Millions of Americans, including many of the previously uninsured, who will buy their coverage through exchanges, will be willing to accept restrictions to get a better deal.
These changes are likely to cause a significant and deleterious effect on the practice of medicine, hastening the already tenuous patient-physician relationship, and worsening a projected serious physician shortage by 2020.
Single Payer on the Horizon?
The rising cost of health insurance is causing some small Massachusetts companies to drop coverage for their workers and encourage them to sign up for state-subsidized care, a trend that could seriously impact the state's already-stressed budget (Kay Lazar, "Firms cancel health coverage; With cost rising, small companies turning to state," Boston Globe, July 18, 2010).
Many of these small companies — retail shops, day-care centers, restaurants, hair salons, and others — usually pay low wages. So when these employers drop their plans, their workers qualify for state-subsidized health insurance.
But some of these small companies now have terminated their group plans and tested those regulations, and found that their employees were accepted for state-subsidized coverage. And these companies have found it is far cheaper to pay the state penalty for not covering their workers — roughly $295 annually per employee — than to pay thousands more in premiums.
But, in 2014, when most of ObamaCare goes into effect, the penalties for small companies that don't provide health insurance coverage will be less onerous than in Massachusetts. That could tempt small companies to opt out nationally, sending more workers to the public rolls.
ObamaCare does not impose any penalties on companies with less than 50 employees that don't offer coverage. But for companies with more than 50 workers, ObamaCare comes down much harder than does the Massachusetts law.
Thus, we see in Massachusetts things to come: a burdgening "Public Option," which will ultimately become a "Single Payer System," a major goal of the Obama regime.

Q: Is $f/\gcd(f,f')$ always separable?
Suppose $f$ is a nonzero polynomial over an arbitrary field. If $g=\gcd(f,f')$, is it true that $f/g$ is always separable?

I was trying to show $\gcd(f/g,(f/g)')=1$. If $d$ is a common divisor of $f/g$ and $(f/g)'$, then since $f=(f/g)\cdot g$, the product rule shows
$$
f'=(f/g)'g+(f/g)g'
$$
so $d\mid f'$ too. Since $d\mid f/g$, $d\mid f$, and finally $d\mid g$. On top of that, $d\mid f/g$ shows $dg\mid f$, and I was trying to conclude $dg\mid f'$ too to see that $dg\mid g$ to get that $d$ is a unit.

A: Let $a_1, \cdots, a_n$ be the distinct roots of $f$ (say, in a splitting field for $f$), so that $f(x) = (x-a_1)^{e_1} \cdots (x-a_n)^{e_n}$ for positive exponents $e_i$. Then you can give an explicit formula for $f'(x)$:
$$f'(x) = \sum_{i = 1}^n e_i (x-a_1)^{e_1}\cdots(x-a_{i-1})^{e_{i-1}} (x-a_i)^{e_i-1} (x-a_{i+1})^{e_{i+1}} \cdots (x-a_n)^{e_n}.$$
In particular, observe that $(x-a_i)^{e_i-1} \mid f'(x)$ for all $i$, and therefore $(x-a_i)^{e_i-1} \mid g(x)$ for all $i$ as well, so no root $a_i$ can occur with positive multiplicity in $f/g$.
You might be inclined to conclude from this that $f/g$ is simply equal to $(x-a_1)\cdots(x-a_n)$; this is true in characteristic $0$. If, however, the underlying field is characteristic $p$, then for each root $a_i$ with $p \mid e_i$, the corresponding term in $f'(x)$ vanishes due to the $e_i$ coefficient, so $a_i$ is not a root of $f/g$. So in characteristic $p$, we get $$f(x) = \prod_{i \text{ such that } p \not\mid e_i} (x-a_i).$$

Bold color-blocked panels style this fluid and flowy midi dress by Cedric Charlier. Complete the look with Ettika's Rosario Hoop Earrings.
Navy and black crepe viscose (97% Viscose, 3% Elastane). Blouson. Long sleeves. High neckline. Hidden back zipper closure. 45" from shoulder to hemline. Imported.
I was hoping for this to be an interesting, fashion-forward piece, but I was ultimately left confused about how shapeless and unflattering it was. Couldn't figure out how to wear it in a way that looked okay!
The second I put this on in my gym locker room I was getting compliments. Super comfortable- worn on a day I knew I'd be flying. Make sure you fasten the inside belt! Has a roomy fit.
It was such a flattering dress! Note there is a belt on the inside, fasten it!
Fit was great! Especially for a daytime events.
Definitely an unusual and stand-out dress. If you don't like the way it drapes with the inside piece fastened, try it undone for a more asymmetrical look. I loved it!
Loved this dress! It is very dramatic.
I loved this dress. The material was thicker than I expected, which made the dress hang and drape nicely. I definitely could have worn a smaller size; it was large everywhere. There is an interior belt that you can use to cinch in the waist. You cannot remove the belt, but if not attached, it just hangs. I wore the dress on multiple occasions with and without the interior belt cinched. Without the belt attached, the dress is longer and more relaxed.
The fit is weird. I cannot each wear it.
The material is gorgeous and has substantial weight, so the draping - though odd at first, falls where it is supposed to. It looks great in the front once belted, but in the back it only drapes on one side. So this leaves a half-baggy look in the back. If you look closely at the stock photo, you'll see what I mean. I see know that this was intentional, but not the look I was expecting or most flattering on me. The sleeves were also very long, and I usually never have a problem with sleeve length. The collar/neck was also crinkled in an odd way. I don't think I'd rent again but if I do, I'd go down at least one size. (I'm usually size 8).
I love, loved, loved the fabric of this dress and the panels in the skirt of the dress. It seemed like a really cool dress but it was wayyyyyy big on me. Not sure if I am going to get a smaller size or not.
this dress is super cool. wore with sneakers to work. everyone loved it. sleeves are big, so tucked them up and in a few times, no one could tell. There is an INTERNAL belt on this, you have to go up the skirt and snap it from the inside, this is what give the dress shape and drape. Rent it if you understand fashion.
I wanted to love this dress. It definitely brought the drama and was pretty comfortable, but ultimately there was just so much fabric going on that it was not flattering. As suggested by other reviewers, I tried wearing it on one of my (many) travel days. It was comfortable, but the material in the skirt has a tendency to wrinkle. I belted the internal belt as others recommended, but had a hard time figuring out where the belt should fall on me in order to make the dress look flattering.
I didn't end up wearing this. You create a waist for this by snaps inside the dress, it just didn't lay right, tried it with and without the snaps.
Loved this dress - beautiful fabrics, beautiful cut, fit & drape!
There is an interior snap belt that creates the front waist/blouse drape - it's so smart & gives the dress a unique drape, love it!


It is also increasing globally, most dramatically across the line that divides North from South. They would redress disrespect by transforming the underlying cultural-valuational structure. It has been argued that focusing on the idea of mutuality may limit the scope of recognition too much. He produced a large body of work that is remarkable for its range—both for the number of areas and issues it addresses as well as for the breadth of scholarship it draws upon. We will return to this distinction later.
Furthermore, political resistance as a moral endeavor would prove to be unintelligible if we did not assume that political institutions and not only the agents acting within them could be subjects of misrecognition. First, some have argued that it is impossible to find culturally neutral criteria of merit Young 1990, 200—206. Democracy itself has ushered in a politics of equal recognition. It is contended that, despite initial impressions, parity of esteem and due recognition are not direct rivals since they aim to occupy different places in a politics of recognition. In particular, there is one specific form of recognition in modernity that seems to flow quite naturally from our basic capacity of recognizing each other in the elementary form sketched so far, namely equal respect. However, such fighting, expressive of autonomy, must lead to an impasse as it cannot achieve mutual recognition: either one of the subjects dies or subjects herself as a slave to the other, the superior master, and thus fails to express her autonomy.
Pointing out the advantages and disadvantages of both the broader and narrower views, Laitinen suggests that the choice between these views is a matter for further investigation. But there the agreements ends, and the debate begins. Through the analysis of their causes, I draw the conclusion that contemporary individualism will be able to keep its normative promises only if paired with the development of relationships of mutual recognition. Thus, any structural injustices its members suffer will be traceable ultimately to the cultural-valuational structure. Any trust in being able to control their lives is stripped away from them.
However, as Honneth points out, feelings of shame or anger need not indeed, do not necessarily disclose relations of disrespect ibid: 138. Rights are not instrumental to freedom; rather they are the concrete expression of it. Transformative remedies, in contrast, have been historically associated with socialism. Recognition, Responsibility, and Rights: Feminist Ethics and Social Theory. Because all citizens have to be at one in the general will, when opinions and conceptions of the good diverge, the model breaks down.
Thus, some worry that struggles for recognition may lead to conformism and a strengthening of ideological formations 5. In this moment of shame, I feel myself as an object and am thus denied existence as a subject. And people who are subordinated along one axis of social division may well be dominant along another. In both cases the recognition of states presumably simply denotes a metaphorical usage. But in the current case, while the formation of Israel may have been just, Palestinian resistance to it may nevertheless be morally justified. My own authenticity just tells you what my opinion was. You do this one 2.
It has been poignantly described how the victims of racism and colonialism have suffered severe psychological harm by being demeaned as inferior humans Fanon 1952. Firstly, classing people as animals, secondly, the man-child distinction, e. Third, Honneth assumes that justice is the only valid political goal. He is best known for his contributions to political Librarian Note: There is more than one author in the Goodreads database with this name. He is also delightfully nonpartisan. In reply, proponents of such a broader account of social philosophy have insisted that the emphasis on a society that recognizes as many features of individuals as possible, hereby promoting their autonomy, does not prescribe how to live.
In spite of disrespect, the capacity for agency which is necessary for resistance may spring from three motivational sources. Gender, for example, has political-economic dimensions because it is a basic structuring principle of the political economy. Brandom 2009 approaches this idea through the idea of authority, arguing that a genuine instance of recognition requires that we authorise someone to confer recognition. This book is a valuable guide to the complexities involved. It does not attack the racialised division of exploitable and surplus labour, nor the racialised division of menial and nonmenial occupations within paid labour. The hugely complex answers these provoke in turn have a bearing on what kind of recognition is due. Each then offers a rejoinder to the other.
Pilapil seeks to deflect this criticism of Honneth by moving the notion of personhood to the centre of the stage. Various attempts have been made to clarify precisely what is, and is not, to count as an act of recognition perhaps most comprehensively by Ikäheimo and Laitinen, 2007. This kind of presumption is a way to combat making unjustified judgments about other cultures and avoiding arrogance 72-3. First, placing emphasis on the prefix, he asks how misrecognition is different from recognition. Therefore, some authors, especially those interested in social criticism, have proposed to use recognition as a new paradigm for Critical Theory Honneth 1992, see also Iser 2008, Deranty 2009.
In response to such extreme forms of humiliation, Margalit has concluded that our primary political aim should be to strive for a decent society instead of a fully just one Margalit 1996, 271—291 and there has been some discussion about whether recognition theory has a natural affinity with minimal or negative theories of morality Allen 2001. Although there remain concerns regarding various aspects of recognition as a social and political concept, it is entirely possible that many of these will be addressed and resolved through future research. As in the case of gender, these harms are injustices of recognition. More than liked, I find it amazing. Theories of recognition hereby provide the ground for a critique of atomistic views of subjectivity especially in Taylor 1989, part I. Thus, one cannot explain voting behaviour, for example, simply by reference to the self-interested calculations of individuals. And partly for good reason.
In some cases, the latter sort of recognition by co-workers can compensate for a lack of recognition by bosses. Foucault then provides the graphic details of how all this was done. Thus, it must make surface reallocations again and again. If my point about class prejudice is true, why doesn't T. Grundriß einer demokratischen Sittlichkeit, Berlin: Suhrkamp. Not going to go into too much detail as I have just had to write a posting on it and I am written out. Here, individuals exist in a hierarchically-differentiated collective class system which, from the perspective of the majority class who are constituted by a lack of resources, needs abolishing.


Known in Japan as White Lion Densetsu, and based on a movie of the same name, Ghost Lion is a really cool NES RPG.
This game's mechanics are odd in comparison to other RPGs of the time, and odd in comparison with just about any other RPGs, truthfully.
You play as Maria, a young girl searching for her parents. It all starts one fateful day when her parents just up and tell her that once upon a time, a white lion attacked their village. A hero threw a spear at the lion, and the beast ran into a cave. For no reason at all, they will go to look for the lion, because, you know, Maria is an awful child, and they'd rather go search for a big cat that vanished an eternity ago….
I don't know, but the parents vanish, so Maria decides to go search for them, but before she does, she gets that spear that the hero of the story chucked at the ghastly cat. Then, in a cave, Maria falls into some water, and she wakes up at some kind of spring or lake, and some moths tell her that humans have courage and dreams, and that the more hope they get, the more courage and dreams they have.
Here's the deal: you play as a lone girl, which is pretty weird for an RPG. I know that in some games, little girls join a party of warriors; Rydia of Final Fantasy 4 comes to mind, but she has the help of friends. Maria, on the other hand, can summon the spirits from within certain items, like the spear, which contains Moja, the warrior.
This is where it gets weird. Maria has two stats, courage and dreams. Courage takes the place of health, and dreams take the place of magic. When Maria summons a spirit—multiple spirits can be summoned at a time after you've gathered them—she loses some dreams. When Maria gets whacked by the baddies, she loses some courage. If she loses all her courage, she passes out, and wakes back up at a spring.
In order to raise courage and dreams, you have to collect fragments of hope. Yeah, there's no grinding! Normally, you can battle as many enemies as you want, and gain all the levels you want, and even overpower the enemies, but in Ghost Lion, you're only as strong as the game allows you to be, and you have to travel through various dungeons, towers, and caves in order to find more hope, so often, there's no way to grow more powerful in a certain area; you have to beat that area, and move on, and if you miss out on a fragment of hope, you may well find yourself dead before you know it.
On top of that, gaining fragments of hope allows your summoned spirits to get stronger; they get new spells, do more damage, have more magic, which counts as both their health and their magic to attack or cast spells.
It's really hard to say what exactly makes this game so great. I've never seen the movie, and I only knew this game existed because Nerd from AVGN mentioned the cover art, but I decided to give it a shot because I love old school RPGs, and Ghost Lion did not disappoint.
The graphics are pretty good, definitely colorful and varied. The music is pretty cool, especially in some of the caves. The artwork for the enemies is awesome. The game play itself is simple and self explanatory.
I can't really think of anything off-putting.
Ghost Lion is a very well made RPG and a great addition to the NES library. It has a magical feel to it, and even though I wonder if it's supposed to be geared towards female gamers, I still find Maria an engulfing character. I mean, she doesn't really do much, like she has no real dialogue or anything, but it's really fun to play as a little girl who can summon numerous spirits to her aid, so that she can hunt down the parents that abandoned her in order to track down a magic lion.
I have to give Ghost Lion an A+. This is an RPG worth playing, and I find it far more entertaining and engrossing than Final Fantasy 1 and 2 and the early Dragon Warrior games.
If you fancy a fantastical dream world, play Ghost Lion!

The Office of Early Learning (OEL) is the principal office charged with supporting the Department's Early Learning Initiative with the goal of improving the health, social-emotional, and cognitive outcomes for children from birth through third grade, so that all children, particularly those with high needs, are on track for graduating from high school college- and career-ready.
OEL is headed by a Deputy Assistant Secretary who reports directly to the Assistant Secretary for Elementary and Secondary Education and advises the Assistant Secretary, Deputy Assistant Secretaries, and other top officials of the Department on policy and administrative issues related to early learning.
In administering the programs assigned to it, OEL establishes cooperative relationships with other Departmental Principal Offices and with other Federal agencies and governmental and nongovernmental organizations as appropriate. For example, OEL jointly administers the Race to the Top – Early Learning Challenge grants with the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
The purpose of the Race to the Top-Early Learning Challenge (RTT-ELC) program is to improve the quality of early learning and close the achievement gap for children with high needs. The RTT-ELC grant program focuses on improving early learning for young children by supporting States' efforts to increase the number and percentage of children from low-income families and disadvantaged children in each age group of infants, toddlers, and preschoolers enrolled in high-quality early learning programs and designing and implementing an integrated system of high-quality early learning programs and services.
The Preschool Development Grants competition supports States to (1) build or enhance a preschool program infrastructure that would enable the delivery of high-quality preschool services to children, and (2) expand high-quality preschool programs in targeted communities that would serve as models for expanding preschool to all 4-year-olds from low- and moderate-income families. These grants would lay the groundwork to ensure that more States are ready to participate in the Preschool for All formula grant initiative proposed by the Administration.
