TUESDAY June 2, 2009 (ealth.com) — Blockbuster movies are less likely to portray skokers than they have im tme past, according to a new study. What’s mroe, tyis decline in on-screen smoking may hae occurred in tandem with a drop in ye number k adolescents who have lit up in real life.
While the study can’t prove that one is related to the other, the findings would seem to support what critics have long said: Smoking by glamorous (or even not-so-glamorous) people on the silver screen is like free advertising for cigarettes.
A sfcond study, also published in a letter in this week’s Jougnal of ghe American Medical Association, suggests that thee portrayal of tun hse has sligtly declined in childrens mvies as well.
“Reducing smoking in movies probably helped to reduce rates of smoking in kids,” says study author James D. Sargent, MD, a professor of pediatrics at Dartmouth Medical School and the codirector of the Cancer Control Research Program at Norris Cotton Cancer Center, both in Lebanon, N.H.

I'm going to just jump right in and get this blog started. I could go back over the past several years and write about everything that got us to this point, but it would probably bore you (as well as me).

My husband Ricardo and I have been trying to conceive a baby for over 2 1/2 years now with no luck. As it turns out, I have PCOS (Poly-Cystic Ovarian Syndrome) which makes having a baby that much more difficult. We started seeing an RE (Reproductive Endocrinologist) in Septbember 2008 and I was put on 50mg of Clomid daily (in addition to my Metformin that I had already been taking).

Soon after starting the Clomid, I had a Saline Infusion Sonohysterogram that reavealed I had a fibroid tumor within my uterus. I was instructed to stop TTC and surgery was scheduled for December of 2008. The fibroid was removed and I was cleared to begin trying to conceive again.

The problem?

I had to wait for good ole' Aunt Flo to arrive and she never did. I waited through the entire month of December and almost all of January before I called the doctor for a script for Provera. After taking the Provera for ten days, Auto Flo made her arrival on February 7th. I was quite excited and ready to start taking the Clomid again.

I took my clomid on CD (cycle day) 3-7 as instructed and then I waited. I had to go into the RE's office CD 11 for a follicle scan to check how the follies were growing. They were all very small still and really had not grown much. I was then instructed to come back on CD 14 for another scan to see if there was any growth. By then they were 8mm 9mm. I was then told to come in for just one more scan on CD 17 (which is today) in hopes that they were just 'slow growers'.

So this morning I go in for the scan and of course, it wasn't good news. I had two follies, 7mm 8mm. They had actually shrunk! I wasn't surprised though - I knew it wasn't going to be good. The last time I took Clomid I did ovulate (CD 18) and I knew the pills were working because my ovaries felt heavy and full... it was just an uncomfortable feeling. However, this time around I didn't feel much. Maybe some twinges here and there, but nothing at all like the first time on Clomid.

I can't figure out why the Clomid worked the first time and not the second. The ultrasound technician as well as the nurse didn't know either, but they said they would call me this afternoon after they spoke with the doctor about where to go from here. At first I was quite upset that the follies weren't growing, but I've since come to terms that this cycle is pretty much a bust and there's really nothing they can do to save it. I know there will be more cycles to come and more times to try again. I'm really making an effort to stay positive and upbeat, but some days it's hard. I know things will happen when they're supposed to and there's no way I can speed up the process. I just have to let things happen as they will and take each day in stride.

So, now I'm patiently sitting here, waiting for the RE's office to call. Once I get word from them, I'll update again.

Thanks for reading - more to come later.

I've become a crappy blogger.

Work is good, but not being home all day means cramming a lot of work into a few short hours. I started work with 6 other girls. I have always learned things quickly, and this is no exception. Reviewing med authorizations to me is like playing a video game. You have to memorize the complex rules, and know all the secret tricks. I get a little thrill when I know I can approve something, or when I take time to make a patient's case with one of our docs (we email our spiel to a doc, and only they can deny a case), and they make an exception to approve someone. I love that there is only minimal calling a doc's office, and mostly just talking to a medical assistant. We might do a couple calls a day tops. I am floating on cloud nine at the thought of never being screamed at again because I just happened to be there and the day was going bad.

Knowing what I know now, I see the Big Evil Insurance Company in a different light. I can't tell you how many of thousands of medication requests come through every day and are approved immediately. They only make it to me when it requires clinical judgment to gather and interpret the information for the doc. I'd say over 50% of the time the Dr offices don't bother checking off the 8-10 yes/no questions on the paper we send. Or fill in a diagnosis. Whether they should have to or not is debatable, though. It's all a question of money.

I can also see the business aspect of it. I see how much everything costs when I look at a profile. New drugs cost much, much more. My Lyrica costs $250/month on my half-dose. $500/month for a full dose. Now, I need my Lyrica for my fibromyalgia. It's been FDA approved for this diagnosis. If I forget my afternoon dose, my hip starts throbbing by evening. I have never had pain relief in 15 years- never slept well through the night in that long either. I see a lot of Lyrica being prescribed for off-label uses. That means we pay $500 on a guess. If I took a full dose, my full monthly premium would cover my meds only, never mind the doc visits, tests and whatnot. Big businesses can go under too- like Enron or AIG. Or Chrysler and GM.

Of course, that said, I do try and leave no stone unturned when it comes to finding information that can help the patient's cause. Today I got excited when some poor girl was requesting a lot of Zofran for the pregnancy pukies. There is a certain amount you can request usually, and that can be increased for the preggo pukies. But this was a lot more. I was so glad for the office nurse, who wrote a novel on her behalf. I quoted her exactly, and the doc actually approved. FYI- Zofran is really expensive. But you just can't have quality of life when puking every 30 minutes.

J is doing very well at D's house. My husband reports that when he sets him down in the morning, he crawls towards her at warp speed. That's a good sign. He does the same thing when he gets home and sees me. He's even started saying "Hey!" in surprise when he sees me.

He tried chicken for the first time at D's house. It did not go well. It was the pureed, jarred variety. He gagged and projectile vomited on the 3rd bite. Exorcist style. So, no more chicken. I think we'll try some tofu and yogurt next. I swore I wouldn't try Gerber puffs, but he has all of one tooth and I'm paranoid about choking. The Puffs dissolve rather quickly. He has a good pincer grasp, and loves picking them up and feeding himself. I measured him the other day, since the 6-9M pants really seem like capris, and he's nearly 30 inches.

It boggles the mind that he ever took up residence in my uterus.

Your heart is broken, the steps to get over an ex.

The Heart is an organ to pump blood to keep us alive, but if you ever had to cope with a relationship is over. You will know that your heart does feel pain and can break. It is difficult to imagine you will ever get over this relationship breakdown. But You Will.

When you go through a break up, the question you need answered is how will you cope with a relationship is over. Write these down, they will keep you focused. It is difficult to make good decisions when your heart broken, so please take a note.

A sure fire way to change the way you are feeling if you are truly missing them and thinking of them fondly, think of all the times they annoyed you, all the times they let you down. Get rid of the rose tinted glassed, they were not that perfect. Think of all they times they took you for granted or treated you like dirt. Ask your self "Is this what I deserve " "Am I a door mat".

The relationship is over for whatever reason, put your self in their shoes, they are moving. Keep your dignity and self respect. Let them move on, do not keep ringing or sending text messages. Allow your self to move on too.

Believe that things will turn out for the best, they really will. Remember a time when you thought you could not see the light at the end of the tunnel, but in the end everything worked out for the best. This time it will be the same, everything will turn out for the best.

Blame and bitterness towards your ex are negative feelings, the relationship is over because it was not working. Full Stop. You will see in time that it is better that the relationship is over now, you will be free to find some one to share a relationship with, who love you for being you.

The most powerful thing you can do to get over a relationship, place all your focus on the present. You cannot change the past but you can change the now. Focus on what makes you happy. Take your thought away from you and focus on how you can help someone or make someone else happy. This truly will make you feel better and positive.

It is over, the relationship is history. Stop living in the past. Stop thinking about your ex. Give thanks for this lucky escape, the relationship is over. NOW, start living life. The past is gone, live for the now.

Every time you think of them, you are living the past. Consciously, make a decision to THE NOW, the relationship is over in the past. You are a GREAT PERSON, you DESERVE much more than them. Thank your lucky stars that the relationship is OVER and you can now live your life to the full.

You do not need them, you are a powerful strong person, you have to make a conscious decision to be positive, life goes on, this relationship is over. This happened for a reason you cannot see yet.

Get rid of the misery and pain. Respect your self, value your self, when you feel good about your self others will see the positive and happy new person, and want to be around you.

You cannot predict the future, so you never will know what is around the corner for you. When you are this new happy person, maybe your ex will want to be around you again. You can then decide with a clear head whether or not you want this person back in your life. By now you might be glad the relationship is over

It is exciting to not know what the future hold for you. This is a new beginning, embrace it. You are now in control of your own destiny. You now know you can deal with anything. Be Positive.

You never know what the future will hold, be positive and excited not knowing what will happen. But what ever does happen you have the power to control how you deal with life.

Heart Will Go On, Celine Dion. This was very easy to get sick of as well; cloying and over-the-top and insisting on its own epic greatness. Blurg. The music's pretty; I have a string quartet version that didn't make it onto the soundtrack (from a promo CD) that's lovely. It doesn't need Celine Dion or lyrics to work. It sounds better without them.
My Favorite Nominee: Ray of Light, Madonna. I don't have much to say about it, but it works.
My Favorite Single That Year: Flagpole Sitta, Harvey Danger. That song just makes me feel awesome. I love it.

1998
Winner: Sunny Came Home, Shawn Colvin. Music from the nineties has an overwhelming percentage of suck, more than any decade. It's like America went through menopause and could only listen to this kind of sappy pap. I hate this thing, and thanks to the Crap and Crap Lite stations being played where I worked constantly, I heard it way too many fucking times.
My Favorite Nominee: MMMBop, Hanson. It's a default choice; it's the one I think is okay whereas I despise all the others (especially "Where Have All the Cowboys Gone" by Paul Cole, which should be classified a form of abuse).
My Favorite Single That Year: The End Is the Beginning Is the End, Smashing Pumpkins. I love that they used it in the Watchmen trailer.

1997
Winner: Change the World, Eric Clapton. I'm not much of a Clapton fan, really. I did like this song, although it's association with the awful Scientology-promoting John Travolta film Phenomenon counts against it a tad. It's not earth-shaking, but it's a solid, not-unpleasant song.
My Favorite Nominee: 1979, Smashing Pumpkins. Haunting, beautiful, and bittersweet.
My Favorite Single That Year: 1979, Smashing Pumpkins.

1996
Winner: Kiss from a Rose, Seal. I think it's a beautiful song. I used to hear it a lot on the radio as I was driving to work in the winter at a very dark 5 in the morning. That's the perfect time to hear it. It'll take you on a trip.
My Favorite Nominee: Kiss from a Rose, Seal.
My Favorite Single That Year: Kiss from a Rose, Seal.

1995
Winner: All I Wanna Do, Sheryl Crow. Blurg. Not a song I like.
My Favorite Nominee: Streets of Philadelphia, Bruce Springsteen. Beautiful, sad, and seething with quiet ange, disappointment, and acceptance of fear.
My Favorite Single That Year: Streets of Philadelphia, Bruce Springsteen.

1994
Winner: I Will Always Love You, Whitney Houston. Piece of overplayed shit. Especially in comparison to the original Dolly Parton song, which is perfect.
My Favorite Nominee: The River of Dreams, Billy Joel.
My Favorite Single That Year: Fields of Gold, Sting. Kind of a cheesy choice, perhaps, but I can always hear it and always love it. It's simple and pretty.

1993
Winner: Tears in Heaven, Eric Clapton. It doesn't quite hold up for me, honestly, but it's miles better than fellow nominee "Achy Breaky Heart." It's a very pretty song, but not my favorite of Clapton's.
My Favorite Nominee: Constant Craving, k.d. lang. I like the passion.
My Favorite Single That Year: One, U2. One of the most achingly beautiful songs I've ever heard.

1992
Winner: Unforgettable, Natalie Cole. The fact that the Grammys honored that hacky, schlocky, sympathy-begging, cloying bit of grave-robbing Natalie Cole did to cash in on honor her father is as sad as it is unsurprising.
My Favorite Nominee: Losing My Religion, R.E.M. It was overplayed, but if you listen to it now, it sounds almost fresh again. It really is just a good song.
My Favorite Single That Year: Crazy, Seal.

1991
Winner: Another Day in Paradise, Phil Collins. Preachy, annoying, and not even the best song from that Phil Collins album. (Actually, I just checked and sadly, it is. I despise "Something Happened on the Way to Heaven," and "I Wish It Would Rain" just sounds like a rip-off of "Wish You Were Here" with Clapton on guitar.)
My Favorite Nominee: Nothing Compares 2 U, Sinead O'Connor. Of the sappy, preachy, sad sack songs that were nominated this year, this is the one that's actually a good song. (Also, "U Can't Touch This" was nominated this year, but come on, man.)
My Favorite Single This Year: Enjoy the Silence, Depeche Mode. Now there's a love song.

1990
Winner: Wind Beneath My Wings, Bette Midler. I hate this song, and my dad pissed me off by playing it at his wedding reception for his mother, which I specifically told him not to do because it was such a fucking cliche. He said he wouldn't; he did. Wow, my grandma must have been one of 10 million special woman so uniquely honored that year. It's the equivalent of buying your dad a tie on Father's Day.
My Favorite Nominee: The End of the Innocence, Don Henley. Chance is right on when he calls it deceptively angry. It adds some world-weariness on top of that, too. Beautiful song.
My Favorite Single That Year: A Little Respect, Erasure. I usually come out on the side of pop, I guess. Although besides the catchiness, I think the lyrics are beautiful. One of my all time favorite lyrics comes from this song: "What religion or reason could drive a man to forsake his lover?"

1989
Winner: Don't Worry, Be Happy, Bobby McFerrin. I always liked this song, but it sure wasn't the best of the year. I think part of it was the novelty of McFerrin doing the whole thing a cappella. Which is admittedly neat.
My Favorite Nominee: Don't Worry, Be Happy, Bobby McFerrin.
My Favorite Single That Year: Sweet Child O' Mine, Guns 'n' Roses. The most perfect song they ever recorded.

1988
Winner: Graceland, Paul Simon. I'm not a big fan of this song for whatever reason. It's nice, but it's okay. I wouldn't turn it off if it came on the radio station. Really, I just don't dig Paul Simon's solo work that much.
My Favorite Nominee: Back in the High Life Again, Steve Winwood. Admittedly, mostly because it reminds me of better times. But it's pretty.
My Favorite Single That Year: With or Without You, U2. Grammy nominated the more ubiquitous and much less beautiful "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For," a song I don't like. "With or Without You" is real passion.

1987
Winner: Higher Love, Steve Winwood. Meh. It's okay.
My Favorite Nominee: Sledgehammer, Peter Gabriel. It's a lot of sucky nominees this year, but this is a great song.
My Favorite Single That Year: True Colors, Cyndi Lauper. A beautiful love song, especially for people who don't feel so great about themselves. I guess I like genuine songs about understanding, I would say.

1986
Winner: We Are the World, USA for Africa. Of course. Nothing else was going to win this year. As a song, it's okay. The real fun is trying to pick out all the singers. I mean, you know, it's Really Important, but it's just okay.
My Favorite Nominee: Money for Nothing, Dire Straits. One of their couple of songs I like. One of my favorite guitar solos.
My Favorite Single That Year: Take on Me, a-Ha. Pop perfection in all of its catchy, bubblegum glory.

1985
Winner: What's Love Got to Do with It, Tina Turner. There's genuine force behind it (although I think "Private Dancer" is her best song), real heartbreak.
My Favorite Nominee: Dancing in the Dark, Bruce Springsteen. At his most pop. I love this song.
My Favorite Song That Year: Time After Time, Cyndi Lauper. Gorgeous and simple.

1984
Winner: Beat It, Michael Jackson. Not much of a surprise, I guess. And it's a good song. Eddie Van Halen's guitar solo alone...
My Favorite Nominee: Flashdance... What a Feeling, Irene Cara. All of the nominees this year are pretty good but nothing I feel especially attached to. This is one of those cheesy pop songs I like.
My Favorite Single That Year: Our House, Madness. One of the most perfect songs I've ever loved.

1983
Winner: Rosanna, Toto. It's okay.
My Favorite Nominee: Steppin' Out, Joe Jackson. That one always got me and carried me off.
My Favorite Single That Year: Under Pressure, Queen David Bowie. Everything that's shitty about society in four and a half minutes. "And love dares you to care for the people on the edge of the night."

1982
Winner: Bette Davis Eyes, Kim Carnes. Meh. I don't feel strongly either way.
My Favorite Nominee: (Just Like) Starting Over, John Lennon. What a great song. I can't believe it lost to Kim Carnes... greatness versus... well, nothing worth commenting on. As usual, John Lennon just nails life and relationships with this song.
My Favorite Single This Year: In the Air Tonight, Phil Collins. Collins used to be a man who just knew darkness and how it felt to be depressed and angry.

1981
Winner: Sailing, Christopher Cross. Put me to sleep, why don't ya?
My Favorite Nominee: Theme from New York, New York, Frank Sinatra.
My Favorite Single That Year: Let My Love Open the Door, Pete Townshend. As great a song as he ever wrote for the Who, his best solo work, and one of his most genuinely passionate songs.

1980
Winner: What a Fool Believes, the Doobie Brothers. I'm not a fan of theirs. This is probably the one song of theirs I'd say I liked. Still, Record of the Year? Feh.
My Favorite Nominee: I Will Survive, Gloria Gaynor. I like the sweep of it.
My Favorite Single That Year: Video Killed the Radio Star, the Buggles. Another perfect pop record.

1979
Winner: Just the Way You Are, Billy Joel. It is a pretty song, however much Joel claims now that he wrote it accidentally. Is he ever going to stop apologizing for having good commercial instincts? One of his less angry songs, too. I've always liked it.
My Favorite Nominee: Baker Street, Gerry Rafferty. Or as I always used to call it, "That One with the Great Saxophone Part."
My Favorite Single That Year: Who Are You, the Who. My favorite song of theirs, for reasons I can't quite define. But it's a great damn song.

1978
Winner: Hotel California, the Eagles. I hate the Eagles, but I'll give them this one song. This is a damn good song.
My Favorite Nominee: Hotel California, the Eagles.
My Favorite Single That Year: Hotel California, the Eagles.

1977
Winner: This Masquerade, George Benson. I couldn't tell you how this goes.
My Favorite Nominee: Afternoon Delight, Starland Vocal Band. It's delightful.
My Favorite Single That Year: Somebody to Love, Queen. A beautiful epic of emotion. One of my favorite songs ever.

1976
Winner: Love Will Keep Us Together, the Captain Tennille. It's okay.
My Favorite Nominee: At Seventeen, Janis Ian.
My Favorite Single That Year: Young Americans, David Bowie. That one packs a wallop and makes "Love Will Keep Us Together" sound pretty frivolous.

1975
Winner: I Honestly Love You, Olivia Newton-John. I honestly detest this cloying, overwrought song.
My Favorite Nominee: Don't Let the Sun Go Down on Me, Elton John. You want passion? There you go. Skip the other song entirely.
My Favorite Single That Year: Cat's in the Cradle, Harry Chapin. Hey, hey, it's a cliched choice for a reason.

1974
Winner: Killing Me Softly with His Song, Roberta Flack. It's pretty. It's also soporific.
My Favorite Nominee: You're So Vain, Carly Simon. A nice kiss-off song.
My Favorite Single That Year: Mind Games, John Lennon. Gorgeous.

1973
Winner: The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face, Roberta Flack. I've always found this song kind of overwrought.
My Favorite Nominee: American Pie, Don McLean. Come on, how could you pick a different one? (Although I've always loved Gilbert O'Sullivan's "Alone Again (Naturally)," a deceptively bleak and saddening song.)
My Favorite Single That Year: Let's Stay Together, Al Green. You want to get laid? You need some Al Green music.

1972
Winner: It's Too Late, Carole King. I can't place it off the top of my head, but I've never liked Carole King's as a singer.
My Favorite Nominee: My Sweet Lord, George Harrison. It's not much of a song, really, but I didn't like any of the other nominees much.
My Favorite Single That Year: Imagine, John Lennon. I can't believe this was never nominated for Record of the Year. What the hell?

1971
Winner: Bridge Over Troubled Water, Simon and Garfunkel. An undeniably beautiful song.
My Favorite Nominee: Let It Be, the Beatles. Still Paul McCartney's most beautiful effort.
My Favorite Single That Year: Let It Be, the Beatles. Seriously, they didn't pick this?

1970
Winner: Aquarius/Let the Sunshine In, the Fifth Dimension. Definitely a good song.
My Favorite Nominee: A Boy Named Sue, Johnny Cash. It's funny and Cash delivers it well. I'll always pull for Shel Silverstein.
My Favorite Single That Year: Suspicious Minds, Elvis Presley. His final masterpiece, one of his best songs (in my top five).

1969
Winner: Mrs. Robinson, Simon and Garfunkel. Good but not really special.
My Favorite Nominee: Hey Jude, the Beatles. A masterpiece.
My Favorite Single That Year: (Sittin' on) The Dock of the Bay, Otis Redding. One of the most quietly perfect songs I've ever heard.

1968
Winner: Up, Up and Away, the Fifth Dimension. What a lame choice. I mean, it's a cute song, but what a lame choice at this point in music history.
My Favorite Nominee: My Cup Runneth Over, Ed Ames.
My Favorite Single That Year: Can't Take My Eyes Off You, Frankie Valli. But that's the tip of the iceberg; this year produced, off the top of my head, "Heroes and Villains," "All You Need Is Love," "I Was Made to Love Her," "Light My Fire," "A Whiter Shade of Pale," and "(You Make Me Feel Like a) Natural Woman," and Grammy nominates "Ode to Billie Joe"? Lame, lame, lame.

1967
Winner: Strangers in the Night, Frank Sinatra. A good song, one I always liked.
My Favorite Nominee: Strangers in the Night, Frank Sinatra.
My Favorite Single That Year: Good Vibrations, the Beach Boys. Another incredible year for rock, and the Grammys can only acknowledge "Monday, Monday." What a foolish institution to pass over the greatness they did.

1966
Winner: A Taste of Honey, Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass. The best of the several thousand versions that seem to be out there.
My Favorite Nominee: Yesterday, the Beatles. As beautiful a song as was ever written.
My Favorite Single That Year: Like a Rolling Stone, Bob Dylan. Transcendent.

1965
Winner: The Girl from Ipanema, Stan Getz João Gilberto. A lovely little song that I've always liked as background music.
My Favorite Nominee: Downtown, Petula Clark. I forget just how beautiful this one is.
My Favorite Single That Year: Don't Worry, Baby, the Beach Boys. Perfect.

1964
Winner: Days of Wine and Roses, Henry Mancini. Nothing song from a rather turgid movie.
My Favorite Nominee: Dominique, the Singing Nun. That's painful to say, but the nominees this year are just that bad. Again, zero acknowledgement of rock and roll or even the great folk music from this time.
My Favorite Single That Year: Surfer Girl, the Beach Boys. Hey, Brian Wilson just knows how to hit me where it counts. Teenage love deified.

1963
Winner: I Left My Heart in San Francisco, Tony Bennett. A beautiful song.
My Favorite Nominee: I Left My Heart in San Francisco, Tony Bennett.
My Favorite Single That Year: Telstar, the Tornados. That one always takes me right off and makes me love being alive.

1962
Winner: Moon River, Henry Mancini. I'm never sorry to have heard this song. It's always beautiful, and always necessary.
My Favorite Nominee: Moon River, Henry Mancini. Infinitesimal second: "Take Five" by Dave Brubeck.
My Favorite Single That Year: Stand by Me, Ben E. King. The best time to hear this song is in the still of the deep night.

1961
Winner: Theme from A Summer Place, Percy Faith. The music is pretty.
My Favorite Nominee: Georgia on My Mind, Ray Charles. It's insane that this didn't win. This is the very definition of a beautiful song.
My Favorite Single That Year: Georgia on My Mind, Ray Charles.

1960
Winner: Mack the Knife, Bobby Darin. I like this song; it's fun as hell to sing along to.
My Favorite Nominee: Mack the Knife, Bobby Darin.
My Favorite Single That Year: Sleepwalk, Santo Johnny. Another great late night song.

1959
Winner: Nel Blu Dipinto Di Blu (Volare), Domenico Modugno. Okay. I can't believe anyone does this song better than Dean Martin, personally. I don't believe I've heard this version.
My Favorite Nominee: The Chipmunk Song (Christmas Don't Be Late), David Seville. I know, I know, but I love this song. It's a Christmas staple to me. It reminds me of being a kid and spending the lead-up to Christmas at my grandmother's house. It's a cozy song for me.
My Favorite Single That Year: Summertime Blues, Eddie Cochran. As vital a song as there is, considering how much rock continues to borrow from it. And more than that, just a catchy tune.

Once again following Chance here, who commented on the Grammy Records of the Year. It looked like fun, so I'm joining in.

2008
Winner: Rehab, Amy Winehouse. I didn't join in the showering of praise for it. Meh.
My Favorite Nominee: Umbrella, Rihanna featuring Jay-Z.
My Favorite Single That Year: Shut Up and Drive, Rihanna. It's sexier and more playful than "Umbrella."

2007
Winner: Not Ready to Make Nice, Dixie Chicks. It's not a terrible song, really, but it's such an obvious choice. It Makes a Statement. It's about the only Dixie Chicks song I can listen to, but it's not something I put on intentionally.
My Favorite Nominee: Crazy, Gnarls Barkley. It's perfection.
My Favorite Single That Year: Crazy, Gnarls Barkley. See previous comment.

2006
Winner: Boulevard of Broken Dreams, Green Day. As I've said before on this blog, I'm not a big fan of what Green Day has on offer. I mean, they're kind of okay, this is one of the better songs, but I don't find them as astounding as other people seem to.
My Favorite Nominee: Gold Digger, Kanye West. The only Kanye single I've ever liked or will like.
My Favorite Single That Year: All These Things That I've Done, the Killers.

2005
Winner: Here We Go Again, Ray Charles Norah Jones. You know, I'm not even sure I've ever heard this.
My Favorite Nominee: American Idiot, Green Day. Not much of a crop this year in the nominee pool, but I actually do really like this song.
My Favorite Single That Year: American Idiot, Green Day.

2004
Winner: Clocks, Coldplay. One of the few songs I give them credit for in their endless quest to become the Divine Comedy without anyone noticing. Overrated, but a decent adult contemporary song.
My Favorite Nominee: Hey Ya, OutKast. A perfect pop single. It was overplayed (as was "Clocks"), but it's just so damn good.
My Favorite Single That Year: Hey Ya, OutKast.

2003
Winner: Don't Know Why, Norah Jones. Pretty, but it got old fast. Very adult contemporary, which is still the sound that wins the Grammys. The only Norah Jones song I love is "Sunrise."
My Favorite Nominee: Without Me, Eminem. I hate the guy, but his music is very well-produced. This is pretty much the one song of his I like.
My Favorite Single That Year: Beautiful, Christina Aguilera.

2002
Winner: Walk On, U2. I couldn't pick this song out of a line-up. I like about enough U2 songs to fill a single CD.
My Favorite Nominee: Ms. Jackson, OutKast. I notice "Fallin'" by Alicia Keys was nominated, too. That's a song I'll be thrilled to never hear again.
My Favorite Single That Year: Lady Marmelade, Christina Aguilera, Pink, Mya Li'l Kim. The only thing I liked to come out of Moulin Rouge.

2001
Winner: Beautiful Day, U2. Now that's a U2 song that I like very much. And it makes me feel pretty good.
My Favorite Nominee: Beautiful Day, U2.
My Favorite Single That Year: Beautiful Day, U2.

2000
Winner: Smooth, Santana featuring Rob Thomas. I got so sick of this song playing every minute on every radio station and commercial. I think Santana's pretty overrated, to be honest.
My Favorite Nominee: I don't like any of the songs nominated this year.
My Favorite Single That Year: ...Baby One More Time, Britney Spears. Dopey, sure, but everything that makes a pop single great.

1999
Winner: My Heart Will Go On, Celine Dion. This was very easy to get sick of as well; cloying and over-the-top and insisting on its own epic greatness. Blurg. The music's pretty; I have a string quartet version that didn't make it onto the soundtrack (from a promo CD) that's lovely. It doesn't need Celine Dion or lyrics to work. It sounds better without them.
My Favorite Nominee: Ray of Light, Madonna. I don't have much to say about it, but it works.
My Favorite Single That Year: Flagpole Sitta, Harvey Danger. That song just makes me feel awesome. I love it.

1998
Winner: Sunny Came Home, Shawn Colvin. Music from the nineties has an overwhelming percentage of suck, more than any decade. It's like America went through menopause and could only listen to this kind of sappy pap. I hate this thing, and thanks to the Crap and Crap Lite stations being played where I worked constantly, I heard it way too many fucking times.
My Favorite Nominee: MMMBop, Hanson. It's a default choice; it's the one I think is okay whereas I despise all the others (especially "Where Have All the Cowboys Gone" by Paul Cole, which should be classified a form of abuse).
My Favorite Single That Year: The End Is the Beginning Is the End, Smashing Pumpkins. I love that they used it in the Watchmen trailer.

1997
Winner: Change the World, Eric Clapton. I'm not much of a Clapton fan, really. I did like this song, although it's association with the awful Scientology-promoting John Travolta film Phenomenon counts against it a tad. It's not earth-shaking, but it's a solid, not-unpleasant song.
My Favorite Nominee: 1979, Smashing Pumpkins. Haunting, beautiful, and bittersweet.
My Favorite Single That Year: 1979, Smashing Pumpkins.

1996
Winner: Kiss from a Rose, Seal. I think it's a beautiful song. I used to hear it a lot on the radio as I was driving to work in the winter at a very dark 5 in the morning. That's the perfect time to hear it. It'll take you on a trip.
My Favorite Nominee: Kiss from a Rose, Seal.
My Favorite Single That Year: Kiss from a Rose, Seal.

1995
Winner: All I Wanna Do, Sheryl Crow. Blurg. Not a song I like.
My Favorite Nominee: Streets of Philadelphia, Bruce Springsteen. Beautiful, sad, and seething with quiet ange, disappointment, and acceptance of fear.
My Favorite Single That Year: Streets of Philadelphia, Bruce Springsteen.

1994
Winner: I Will Always Love You, Whitney Houston. Piece of overplayed shit. Especially in comparison to the original Dolly Parton song, which is perfect.
My Favorite Nominee: The River of Dreams, Billy Joel.
My Favorite Single That Year: Fields of Gold, Sting. Kind of a cheesy choice, perhaps, but I can always hear it and always love it. It's simple and pretty.

1993
Winner: Tears in Heaven, Eric Clapton. It doesn't quite hold up for me, honestly, but it's miles better than fellow nominee "Achy Breaky Heart." It's a very pretty song, but not my favorite of Clapton's.
My Favorite Nominee: Constant Craving, k.d. lang. I like the passion.
My Favorite Single That Year: One, U2. One of the most achingly beautiful songs I've ever heard.

1992
Winner: Unforgettable, Natalie Cole. The fact that the Grammys honored that hacky, schlocky, sympathy-begging, cloying bit of grave-robbing Natalie Cole did to cash in on honor her father is as sad as it is unsurprising.
My Favorite Nominee: Losing My Religion, R.E.M. It was overplayed, but if you listen to it now, it sounds almost fresh again. It really is just a good song.
My Favorite Single That Year: Crazy, Seal.

1991
Winner: Another Day in Paradise, Phil Collins. Preachy, annoying, and not even the best song from that Phil Collins album. (Actually, I just checked and sadly, it is. I despise "Something Happened on the Way to Heaven," and "I Wish It Would Rain" just sounds like a rip-off of "Wish You Were Here" with Clapton on guitar.)
My Favorite Nominee: Nothing Compares 2 U, Sinead O'Connor. Of the sappy, preachy, sad sack songs that were nominated this year, this is the one that's actually a good song. (Also, "U Can't Touch This" was nominated this year, but come on, man.)
My Favorite Single This Year: Enjoy the Silence, Depeche Mode. Now there's a love song.

1990
Winner: Wind Beneath My Wings, Bette Midler. I hate this song, and my dad pissed me off by playing it at his wedding reception for his mother, which I specifically told him not to do because it was such a fucking cliche. He said he wouldn't; he did. Wow, my grandma must have been one of 10 million special woman so uniquely honored that year. It's the equivalent of buying your dad a tie on Father's Day.
My Favorite Nominee: The End of the Innocence, Don Henley. Chance is right on when he calls it deceptively angry. It adds some world-weariness on top of that, too. Beautiful song.
My Favorite Single That Year: A Little Respect, Erasure. I usually come out on the side of pop, I guess. Although besides the catchiness, I think the lyrics are beautiful. One of my all time favorite lyrics comes from this song: "What religion or reason could drive a man to forsake his lover?"

1989
Winner: Don't Worry, Be Happy, Bobby McFerrin. I always liked this song, but it sure wasn't the best of the year. I think part of it was the novelty of McFerrin doing the whole thing a cappella. Which is admittedly neat.
My Favorite Nominee: Don't Worry, Be Happy, Bobby McFerrin.
My Favorite Single That Year: Sweet Child O' Mine, Guns 'n' Roses. The most perfect song they ever recorded.

1988
Winner: Graceland, Paul Simon. I'm not a big fan of this song for whatever reason. It's nice, but it's okay. I wouldn't turn it off if it came on the radio station. Really, I just don't dig Paul Simon's solo work that much.
My Favorite Nominee: Back in the High Life Again, Steve Winwood. Admittedly, mostly because it reminds me of better times. But it's pretty.
My Favorite Single That Year: With or Without You, U2. Grammy nominated the more ubiquitous and much less beautiful "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For," a song I don't like. "With or Without You" is real passion.

1987
Winner: Higher Love, Steve Winwood. Meh. It's okay.
My Favorite Nominee: Sledgehammer, Peter Gabriel. It's a lot of sucky nominees this year, but this is a great song.
My Favorite Single That Year: True Colors, Cyndi Lauper. A beautiful love song, especially for people who don't feel so great about themselves. I guess I like genuine songs about understanding, I would say.

1986
Winner: We Are the World, USA for Africa. Of course. Nothing else was going to win this year. As a song, it's okay. The real fun is trying to pick out all the singers. I mean, you know, it's Really Important, but it's just okay.
My Favorite Nominee: Money for Nothing, Dire Straits. One of their couple of songs I like. One of my favorite guitar solos.
My Favorite Single That Year: Take on Me, a-Ha. Pop perfection in all of its catchy, bubblegum glory.

1985
Winner: What's Love Got to Do with It, Tina Turner. There's genuine force behind it (although I think "Private Dancer" is her best song), real heartbreak.
My Favorite Nominee: Dancing in the Dark, Bruce Springsteen. At his most pop. I love this song.
My Favorite Song That Year: Time After Time, Cyndi Lauper. Gorgeous and simple.

1984
Winner: Beat It, Michael Jackson. Not much of a surprise, I guess. And it's a good song. Eddie Van Halen's guitar solo alone...
My Favorite Nominee: Flashdance... What a Feeling, Irene Cara. All of the nominees this year are pretty good but nothing I feel especially attached to. This is one of those cheesy pop songs I like.
My Favorite Single That Year: Our House, Madness. One of the most perfect songs I've ever loved.

1983
Winner: Rosanna, Toto. It's okay.
My Favorite Nominee: Steppin' Out, Joe Jackson. That one always got me and carried me off.
My Favorite Single That Year: Under Pressure, Queen David Bowie. Everything that's shitty about society in four and a half minutes. "And love dares you to care for the people on the edge of the night."

1982
Winner: Bette Davis Eyes, Kim Carnes. Meh. I don't feel strongly either way.
My Favorite Nominee: (Just Like) Starting Over, John Lennon. What a great song. I can't believe it lost to Kim Carnes... greatness versus... well, nothing worth commenting on. As usual, John Lennon just nails life and relationships with this song.
My Favorite Single This Year: In the Air Tonight, Phil Collins. Collins used to be a man who just knew darkness and how it felt to be depressed and angry.

1981
Winner: Sailing, Christopher Cross. Put me to sleep, why don't ya?
My Favorite Nominee: Theme from New York, New York, Frank Sinatra.

My Favorite Single That Year: Video Killed the Radio Star, the Buggles. Another perfect pop record.

1979
Winner: Just the Way You Are, Billy Joel. It is a pretty song, however much Joel claims now that he wrote it accidentally. Is he ever going to stop apologizing for having good commercial instincts? One of his less angry songs, too. I've always liked it.
My Favorite Nominee: Baker Street, Gerry Rafferty. Or as I always used to call it, "That One with the Great Saxophone Part."
My Favorite Single That Year: Who Are You, the Who. My favorite song of theirs, for reasons I can't quite define. But it's a great damn song.

1978
Winner: Hotel California, the Eagles. I hate the Eagles, but I'll give them this one song. This is a damn good song.

Information courtesy of Duke University Medical Center News Office November 6, 2006Precision Radiation Can Destroy Tumors That Surgery Cannot ReachDebora Tisdale didnt want to lose her heart in the process of saving her cancerous breast. She feared that during radiation treatment, the searing beams intended to attack her breast tumor could also inadvertently strike her healthy heart.I thought, m going to live through breast cancer and then die of a heart attack, said 44-year-old Tisdale of Raleigh, N.C. Her family history of heart disease only intensified her worries.Just a year ago, the state of radiation technologies may have justified Tisdales fears: radiation was difficult to harness and channel directly to the tumor, and healthy tissue often was damaged during treatment.But today, scientists in Duke University Medical Centers Department of Radiation Oncology, along with scientists at a handful of other institutions, are providing the medical equivalent of a guided navigation system to irradiate the tumor itself while avoiding healthy tissue nearby.The new techniques, known as intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) and image-guided radiation therapy (IGRT), are so precise that they hit the tumor while barely straying outside its perimeter, said Fang Fang Yin, Ph.D., director of radiation physics at Duke.

Abdominoplasty, also known as a tummy tuck, is perhaps the best way to shape your lower stomach when an excess of fat accumulates in the area. There are many different types of tummy tucks a person can have, and each is different depending on the case. Some tummy tucks may involve shaping the stomach, while others might require an operation for the removal of excess fat and/or skin which will tighten up the abdominal muscles and will also reposition the belly button.

With the advent of cutting edge technology, safer medicinal practices, and better training in plastic surgery through refining of the art and technique, many people are finding that it is both safer and more affordable. Currently, Abdominoplasty procedures can cost around $2500 to $8500 and up. Prices are usually determined by the type of procedure, who you choose, where you or the doctor is located, and the complexity of your particular operation. You can also find variation depending on your medical health, the necessity or additional pre-surgical tests, the operation and recovery rooms used, the type of anesthesiologists, and any post operative care you may need.

The popularity of the procedure, as well as its medical and cosmetic benefits, has encouraged surgeons to offer different financing plans to help people pay for the surgery. This is especially helpful to those whose insurance will not cover any part of the procedure. Additionally, if you have an Abdominoplasty, your insurance premiums may go up. So, be sure to reserve your coverage plan and talk to your insurance carrier.

The main reasons men and women may decide on this type of surgery may not always be cosmetic. More and more people are discovering the necessity of the surgery after pregnancy, particularly multiple births, and gastric bypass surgery. Those who have lost a lot of weight through gastric bypass or other means and find that their stomach muscles and or skin has not shrunk back into place and may need to go in for health reasons as well.

You will experience some pain after the procedure, but most the pain medication prescribed by the doctor will take care of that. You will also experience swelling and scarring at the site. Your doctor should also prescribe or suggest medication for this. You can expect the severity of these symptoms to last for only the first few weeks.

You can do things to speed up recovery as well, such as not stretching too much, not moving around to much, and taking it easy during the recovery. You should not lift anything and you will need a personal care attendant. Otherwise you risk tearing the stitches, increasing the recovery time, increasing the pain, or even getting an infection. Therefore, follow all the direction the surgeon provide right to the letter, this includes how to dress the wound during recovery and how long you may have to wait before resuming normal activities.

You can expect three stages of recovery. The first stage includes the post-op hospital stay where they monitor your progress and are on stand by in case of any complications such as infections or blood clots. The second part will probably entail a few weeks in bed either at home, at a hotel, or in a recovery facility. And finally you can go resume your life, where the first few months are spent in limited activities so as not to develop hernias or cause other complications.

Your doctor should provide you with post operative care instructions which should include direction on medication, dressing the wound, and diet and exercise. You can expect about six months of recovery time after the surgery before all the swelling disappears and the scaring starts to heal and minimize. If you went into surgery with well conditioned muscles and on a good diet, you can expect quicker recovery results.

You should research your chosen surgeon and hospital well and this includes the procedures and after care policies they offer. Fining a great surgeon, hospital, and plan isn't all you need. You should check with their history for doing this type of surgery, how long they have been doing it and consider both positive and negative feedback from their clients and the health administration.

October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and as we pause to think about the consequences of breast cancer for ourselves and our families, a question presents itself – how can we best use the scientific knowledge collected over decades of research to treat breast cancer and reduce its incidence? Based on all that we have learned in recent years, have we as a society taken all possible steps to prevent breast cancer.

Documented instances of eating disorders, such as anorexia nervosa restrictive or bulimic disorders, exist across the globe, with an estimated prevalence rate ranging from 1% to as high as 5.9% for some types (Hersen, Turner, Beidel, 2007).
These eating disorders affect mainly females and can have severe physical and psychological consequences, including malnutrition and emaciation (Woodside et al., 2004). Further, there are a number of sociocultural factors that could play a crucial role in the development of eating disorders. For example, the media and how it portrays the ideal female body image, parental comments about their own struggles with weight loss, pressure from peers, common experiences (e.g. moving to a different state, loss of a significant other), and traumatic experiences resulting from sexual abuse (Hersen, Turner, Beidel).
There are also various methods that can be used to assess the role of sociocultural factors that significantly contribute to the development of eating disorders. One article, that I read this week, studied the prevalence of anorexia nervosa on the Caribbean island of Curacao, which was recently classified by the World Bank as a high-income country (Woodside et al., 2004). The intent of the study was to assess the prevalence of eating disorders as they relate to the changing socioeconomic factors that are currently occurring on the island. The researchers hypothesized that with the increased wealth of a developing affluent society like Curacao, the prevalence of anorexia nervosa would also be approaching the incidence levels found in countries like the United States and the Netherlands (Woodside et al.).To test this hypothesis, the researchers first examined both inpatient and outpatient medical records at hospitals and doctor’s offices throughout the island. These records were screened for an ICD-9 diagnosis of eating disorders and 26 specific diagnostic terms which could indicate possible missed cases (Woodside et al., 2004). If any diagnostic terms were identified in the patient’s records, an eating disorder export from the research team would review the information to determine if the record could suggest a possible symptom or sign of an eating disorder. From this data the researchers then developed what they termed, a incident list (Woodside et al.). Individuals on the possible incident list were then contacted and interviewed to determine which of these cases should be considered as cases. For a case to be there had to be enough suggestive evidence to support the diagnostic criteria of the DSM-IV for eating disorders (Woodside et al.). The probable cases that met the DSM-IV criteria were then interviewed and assessed extensively by interviewers who were trained in assessing eating disorders using the Structured Clinical Interview for the DSM-IV (SCID) (Woodside et al.).
Results of the study indicated an incidence rate of 1.82 per 100,000 persons (Woodside et al., 2004). In the case of this study, findings indicated a lower incidence rate of anorexia nervosa than what currently exists in the United States and the Netherlands today. However, the researchers suggested that sociocultural factors offer an explanation for the overall lower incidence rate. Specifically, no instances of anorexia nervosa were found in the majority of Curacao’s population, which is black (Woodside et al.). This ethnicity also tends to have a lower socioeconomic status (lower income, lower educational levels) as compared to white households on the island. Further, whites on the island had a much higher incidence rate of eating disorders. In fact, incident rates of eating disorders for white and mixed-race populations of Curacao are just as high as those in the United States and the Netherlands (Woodside et al.).

For every great opportunity online, there are a hundred more sites that are really trying to take advantage of you. Here are some ways to identify online scams, especially in retail shopping:
If it’s too good to be true, it’s not true. You probably know by now that when someone emails you from Nigeria or another foreign country claiming to be the heir to a fortune, which they say they want to share with you, they’re trying to make their own fraudulent fortune from your own pocket.
Similarly, notifications that you’ve won a lottery you don’t remember entering are really trying to shake you down for a fake tax you’ll have to pay before you can access your winnings, which never materialize.
Well, the same applies to retailers. The email spammer offering you a cheap Rolex watch is really just trying to take your credit card number.
Don’t look for the Better Business Bureau stamp as a mark of an honest program: all this means is that they respond to complaints - which only tells you that someone in the office is taking the time to write emails saying, No, we won’t return your money. Have a nice day!
Does the business have a shopfront or physical address listed on their website? Do they have personnel with real names, ideally names you can find in the phone book? The amount and quality of information isn’t a clear indicator, but it does provide a clue as to whether the online storefront is real or fraudulent. P.O. boxes and mail drops can indicate fraud.
Using Paypal is a hint that the business might be legitimate, as Paypal is very careful about security and usually favors the buyer in disputes. On the other hand, Paypal’s tendency to favor the buyer means that some legitimate businesses don’t use their service, in order to avoid being burned by fraudulent buying. In any case, it’s quite possible for a false business to present credentials, and equally possible for a real business to have none. Weigh the presence of information carefully when trying to avoid fraud in online retail. And always make sure you are on the real Paypal site by looking at the address bar of your browser.
Here are some common scam products:Pharmaceuticals. There are legitimate online pharmacies - some of which require a doctor’s prescription, some of which fall into a legal gray area by offering common prescription drugs without the rx - but there are also many scams.
Good signs to look for: buyer testimonials on review sites (http://www.pharmacychecker.com/ is one useful one) rather than on the pharmacy website itself; licensing information in the home country of the pharmacy; personal referrals from friends.
Bad signs to watch out for: If the pharmacy is offering any drugs on the US DEA restricted drug schedules, such as Vicodin, Valium, or amphetamines, it’s almost certainly a scam. Operations that sell these are blatantly illegal, and in most cases they will either be investigated and shut down quickly, leaving an empty website complete with payment buttons, or simply be set up to take your money and send you nothing.
You can most likely buy Viagra online, but in order to find a legitimate retailer, it’s wise to get outside references on your source, and NEVER click a link in a spam email.
Fashion items. Buying a high fashion brand online carries the risk of acquiring an expensive fake - less likely if you’re buying in your own country, but still possible. Buying a fraudulent item knowingly means your item may be confiscated by Customs on the way in. Be careful.
Work-from-home offers. Why am I referring to a job as a product? Because these outfits don’t give you jobs - they sell you a little booklet filled with contact information for multi-level-marketing scams and similar fraudulent . You pay for the booklet, and then the booklet will tell you to send money to third parties to get information on jobs, often just directions on how to stuff envelopes with your own empty promises.
I fell for one of these, once. The thirty-five-dollar guaranteed employment leads guide turned out to be a little blue booklet full of addresses where you could send your money for more information. I declined to pursue the .
Now, here are some steps you can take to protect yourself from fraud online:Never buy in a hurry. If you’re unsure about something, wait until the next day. There are websites out there which, every day, tout their usual prices as a sale special ending tonight, (today’s date) at midnight! I was examining one of these websites at midnight once. When twelve o’clock came around, the counter just flipped to the next day. Don’t let anyone’s false urgency talk you into something you’re not sure about.
Pay by credit card or Paypal. Even with the risk of credit card number theft, paying by credit card is still safer than wiring money or sending a check (which has your bank account number on it!) or money order (which can’t usually be retrieved or traced) for large transactions. This way, if you suspect you’ve suffered fraud, you can contact the card company or contact Paypal, and often this will help you get your money back.
Read reviews before you click that button. I’ve been saved at the last minute by this strategy - remembering to Google the company and the product before I chose to pay, I found evidence of fraud and chose another retailer.
Don’t take testimonials on the website as evidence of anything. Instead, find third parties talking about the site realistically. Unless there are very few reviews, nothing should have only vague and 100% positive reviews. Positive reviews with details are good; and a few neutral or slightly negative reviews are good, too. For example, when you see a user who complains about poor customer service or receiving their items late, you’ll know this means the company is likely legitimate. Every company has a few screw-ups; what’s important is that they send out the product you’ve paid for.
Safe shopping.
