I’ll be teaching a number of additional classes this and next month to help out my fellow Pilates instructors as they take their summer vacations.  Mark your calendars to get in a few extra classes!  Drop-ins are available at both of these locations: July 22 at 10am: Mat Pilates at Essential Physical Therapy at 81 River […]

Fit Mama Monday – It’s Spring. Let’s Get Outside!

Because I have been training outside through the winter, these sunny spring days are a sweet reward after the cold and ice of the last 4 months.  Vermont spring mornings and late afternoons are cooler, but not chilly, and the spring greens emerging on the hills and underfoot are energizing.  Even the occasional unexpected snake puts a spring […]

Getting Older ≠ Slowing Down

The older I get, the more life shows me that getting older has nothing to do with slowing down, accomplishing less, or failing to learn new things. I’m not one to make a bucket list, but each year I draw up a vision for myself and ask “who do I want to be this year?”. […]

deep freeze

well, we are holed-up inside due to sub zero temps.
last weekend i walked along the coastal trail with the dog. while all bundled up, we saw some beautiful sights. the inversion has caused ice fog which coats every thing with a fine layer of frost.
its really quite a sight.
the ice skating at westchester has been amazing. we've had no recent snow which has made the maintained rink smooth and shiny.

as i rounded the trail toward the inlet the sun was setting. i am still enamored by the ice chunks.

this morning, jeff and i were awakened by the strangest sound. it sounded quite like a hail storm. the sun was up and the sky was blue. the temperature was well below zero. our sleepy minds took a moment to adjust our thinking.
as we peered outside we saw thousands of beautiful bohemian waxwings. they were in all of the trees surrounding the house, they were dancing on the roof. it was an amazing sight.
they stayed, chirping and stripping the mountain ash of its bright red berries for about 15 minutes and then, rose in a cloud and moved on to another yard.

it was a very nice way to begin a saturday.

What I Can Teach You About Attorneys

Importance of Georgia Injury Lawyers

Car accidents, truck accidents, dog bites are all forms of injuries. However, car injuries are the most common type of injuries. At times someone might think that handling this claims are easy and get tempted to handle cases on their own. Unfortunately the legal system is not always fair or straightforward. In case you get into an accident in Georgia you can always hire an injury lawyer. Medical expenses and damages will be easily compensated with an injury lawyer. Personal injury statute case in Georgia is two years so it is important to contact a lawyer as soon as an accident occurs.

You should obtain a police report, seek medical care and gather witness testimonies and photographs from the scene of the accident. Georgia injury lawyers will help with all this because they know about all your rights as an injured party. A car accident may make injuries that existed before worse. All this information should be passed to your injury lawyer so that it can be presented as evidence in court. Damages in bodily injury claims should consider the financial cost of medical bills and the property lost. In order to win a case they produce evidence that complies to Georgia negligence law.

Handling injury claims in Georgia involves a number of strict deadlines. To avoid late presentation and filing of evidence you need to hire an injury lawyer. It is crucial to have an attorney early before beginning of trial. It is important to hire a lawyer who has studied law in a recognized institution and certified, this means they have the necessary skills to handle injury cases. Georgia injury lawyers take time to prepare the client well by explaining every opportunity, its advantages and disadvantages. They will negotiate and make sure to try their best to win the trail. It is good to choose an attorney whom you feel comfortable talking to.

Immediately you have an injury, Georgia lawyers get involved in the case. The other party builds their case as the case progresses. There are facts presented that may or may not be true so your lawyer will have started gathering evidence from day one. It is advisable to have an injury attorney early even before the beginning of trial.Evidence collecting is necessary and needs more time. Each case is different and requires different approach; the sooner you hire a lawyer to defend you the more likely the case will be a success. They can find an expert to testify on your behalf to build a strong case or they can weaken testimony of experts obtained by the prosecutor. Your legal counsel is the one that is contacted by law enforcement in case of questioning. This makes sure you don’t say anything that can implicate you. They have extensive knowledge which will preempt charges like heavy fines and other miscellaneous fees. All you have to do is talk to an injury lawyer who will help you gain more insight on why you should hire one in case of an accident.

Thing #23

My favorite exercises in working with Library2Play have been Photostory, setting up a blog, playing with Flickr, LibraryThing booklists, and exploring YouTube and TeacherTube. It made me think about things I could use in my classroom and for personal use. It will help me set some of my goals as well. Nothing really surprised me in this experience, but I have a ton of take-a-ways. I will be using the blog in my class this year as well as Flickr mashups and mosaics, and trading card maker. I have already started planning things for the class. I would not try to fix much of any thing. I would love to participate in another one of your discovery programs, if it was something I wanted to discover. My experience in a word, AWESOME!!! Thanks for all the information.

Thing #22

Nings look to be similar to blogs, except they are for a specific idea, item, train of thought. You join a ning just like you would blogs. I am a member of facebook, myspace, and and I do like being able to talk to people from anywhere. The difference with Ning is that it is for a certain common likeness. I looked a teacherlingo. I liked how teachers offered their lesson plans that could help others. I found two immediately that I would like to use next year. Nings are beneficial at collaborating with others in your field.

Thing #21

Since I do not have any recording equipment, I decided to do a Photostory. It was very simple to put together, once I decided on the photos and sound I wanted to put into it. I think I will be using this product many more times after this.

Thing #20

I found this video on YouTube called The Librarian Song. Although comical, very much what librarians should be about.

Here is a video from TeacherTube called anamanics The Nations of the World.

Using videos in the classroom to get a point across to students is wonderful. Students today are very visual when it comes to learning.

Monday, August 4, 2008

Thing #19

When I looked at the Web 2.0 award list, I found several that I am going to use next year in my class. There are so many to choose from. I liked the geneology site: myheritage. It was very easy to put together and students could use it to work on historical information of their own. I will definately be using LibraryThing for my class as well as Flickr and YouTube sometimes. There are so many tools to use that go along with all these sites.

Thing #18

I joined google docs. I like that I am already a member of google, so I am not having to join something new. I also like how google docs is very easy to work. I didn't have a problem uploading already made docs to it as well as make docs from scratch. I also like how you can share with others your docs.

Speed dating monologue 2,167 PLAYS & MUSICALS BY 1,359 AUTHORS!

Speed dating monologue

Justin is just as surprised and happy as Katherine. Two months later they walk down the aisle in a non-traditional wedding hosted by Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan kind of a passing of the romcom tourch. Plus I meet a guy who is going to teach me Arabic and learned that tends to mean seriously some of them were pretty old and already had teenagers.

Dating french man

So I'm just not willing to take the chance. Yeah, well, it's been nice talking to you. Still suffering from her last break-up, she launches into a description of the day her hamster died.

Reading her body language dating

My self-description said so, didn't it? As for the "falling in" kind of love, I'm willing to risk it-- and if it doesn't work out, I'll do my best at least to stay a friend. The funny thing is, I still do child custody-- but as a court Mediator.

Playwright and Director

But not if we're working against some kind of nesting instinct, some ticking bomb of a biological clock. No, not at all. The parties all want to do unto their ex-es whatever would hurt most if it were done to them.

I'm not sour on love.

New Play Exchange ®

No--I like kids, I'm good with kids-- as long as they understand that I'm like a buddy or an uncle. Did I have some laughs? But that's not so bad, really.

Good questions to ask a girl on a dating site

I'm interested in a serious relationship, but Fuck up their own kids, just to get at the ex! They're probably a little bit better, a little more likely to stop and think about speed dating monologue they're doing to their kids and the grandparents.

The dog will only suffer if he's abandoned: I'm not any better than they are. They're fighting for the sake of fighting, and their lawyers do it squared, cause that's the speed dating monologue.

Did they understand my sense of humor?

Production History

I'd rather sit in Harvard Square with a tin cup and beg, than go back to divorce. I just don't believe any more in marriage. Dan is a wide-boy Essex office junior who impersonates Elvis in his spare time. Claire is speed-dating but not very well. I never want to do that again. Sarah often starts her speed dating adelaide over 40 by writing monologues from the perspective of a character at a particular moment in time.

Because of all of the romcoms I watch this is how I had envisioned speed dating: There might be a woman who could turn me around.

I've seen guys-- mothers, too!

Play Details

No matter what it costs: Two minutes pass and both have decided this is the person they are going to spend the rest of their life with and make many babies max: They say hell hath no fury like a woman scorned, but in my experience the male is even worse. Mostly they just want to fight, just want to hurl themselves, teeth bared and frothing with rage. Katherine sits down and the fast few guys are a bust because they have to be but just when she gives up THE GUY sits across from her.

ACLS review: SVT part 6

Synchronized cardioversion
·         Specific timed delivery of electrical shock to the heart
·         Treatment of choice for SVT, VT with a pulse and atrial flutter with evidence of poor profusion
·         Provide sedation and analgesia
·         Prepare to defibrillate immediately if cardioversion causes VF
Synchronized cardioversion is shock delivery that is timed (synchronized) with the QRS complex. This synchronization avoids shock delivery during the relative refractory period of the cardiac cycle when a shock could produce VF.
·         All tachycardias (rate >150 bpm) with serious signs and symptoms related to the tachycardia.  These include unstable SVT, atrial flutter, atrial fibrillation and unstable VT
·         May give brief trial of medications based on specific arrhythmias.
Cardioversion is less likely to be effective for treatment of junctional tachycardia or ectopic or multifocal atrial tachycardia because these rhythms have an automatic focus, arising from cells that are spontaneously depolarizing at a rapid rate

·         In critical conditions go to immediate unsynchronized shocks.
·         Urgent cardioversion is generally not needed if heart rate is over 150 bpm.
·         Reactivation of sync mode is required after each attempted cardioversion (defibrillators/cardioverters default to unsynchronized mode).
·         Prepare to defibrillate immediately if cardioversion causes VF.
·         Synchronized cardioversion cannot be performed unless the patient is connected to monitor leads; lead select switch must be on lead I, II, or III and not on “paddles.”

ACLS review: SVT part 5

For verapamil, give a 2.5 mg to 5 mg IV bolus over 2 minutes (over 3 minutes in older patients). If there is no therapeutic response and no drug-induced adverse event, repeated doses of 5 mg to 10 mg may be administered every 15 to 30 minutes to a total dose of 20 mg. An alternative dosing regimen is to give a 5 mg bolus every 15 minutes to a total dose of 30 mg

Beta blockers (class 1)
Esmolol: 0.5mg/kg bolus over 1 minutes followed by an infusion at 50mcg/kg/min for 4 minutes. If no response then repeat 0.5mg/kg bolus over 1 minute and increase maintenance infusion to 100mcg/kg/min. If inadequate response in 4 minutes, repeat 0.5mg/kg bolus over 1 minute and increase maintenance infusion to 150mcg/kg/min. If inadequate response in 4 minutes, continue repeating bolus dose and increasing maintenance infusion by 50mcg/kg/min until maximum infusion of 300mcg/kg/min has been reached.

Metoprolol: 5mg slow IV push over 5 minutes x 3 as needed to a total dose of 15mg over 15 minutes

In principle these agents exert their effect by antagonizing sympathetic tone in nodal tissue, resulting in slowing of conduction. Like calcium channel blockers, they also have negative inotropic effects and further reduce cardiac output in patients with heart failure

Digoxin (IIb)
·         10-15mcg/kg
·         Usually 0.25mg IV q4h x 4 loading dose, then oral maintenance dose
·         Not useful in emergencies due to slow onset of action

Reviewed 2/28/16

Wednesday, September 28, 2011

ACLS review: SVT part 4

·         6mg rapid IV over 2-3sec.
·         Repeat Adenosine at 12mg rapid IV over 2-3sec.
·         Reduce dosage in patients using Tegretol or dipyridamole
·         Relatively contraindicated in patient with asthma

If the rhythm does not convert within 1 to 2 minutes, give a 12 mg rapid IV push using the method above. The initial dose may be reduced to 3 mg in patients taking dipyridamole or carbamazepine, those with transplanted hearts, or if given by central venous access. Side effects with adenosine are common but transient; flushing, dyspnea, and chest discomfort are the most frequently observed.  Adenosine should not be given to patients with asthma.

·         Adenosine should be considered for stable monomorphic, regular wide complex tachycardia
·         Adenosine should not be used for irregular wide complex tachycardia

Pause after Adenosine

Calcium channel blockers (class 1)
·         Diltiazem: 0.25mg/kg over 2 minutes.  If ineffective, in 15 minutes may repeat 0.35mg/kg over 2 minutes.  Followed by a maintenance infusion of 5-15mg/hr
·         Verapamil: 2.5-5.0mg slow IV push over 2 minutes. May repeat with 5-10mg in 15 to 30 minutes. Maximum dose 20mg
These drugs act primarily on nodal tissue either to terminate the reentry PSVTs that depend on conduction through the AV node or to slow the ventricular response to other SVTs by blocking conduction through the AV node. The alternate mechanism of action and longer duration of these drugs may result in more sustained termination of PSVT or afford more sustained rate control of atrial arrhythmias

Precautions for Carotid Sinus Massage
·         Avoid carotid massage in older adults
·         Never perform bilateral carotid massage
·         Listen for bruits before carotid massage- contraindicated if bruits are present
·         Should not be continued for more than 10 sec.
·         Patient should be on cardiac monitor
·         Should have IV access before attempting vagal maneuvers

Procedure for carotid sinus massage
·         Turn head to the left
·         Apply firm pressure over the right carotid bifurcation near the angle of the jaw
·         If unsuccessful, repeat with a 5- to 1- second rotary “massage motion”
·         If unsuccessful, turn the head to the right side and perform left carotid massage

·         Avoid in elderly
·         Carotid bruits
·         History of CVA

Evaluate Rhythm
·         Obtain 12 lead EKG
·         Determine if QRS complex is ≥0.12 second
·         Determine treatment options.

Note:  Stable patients may await expert consultation because treatment has the potential for harm

Narrow Complex Tachycardias
·         Atrial fibrillation
·         Atrial flutter
·         AV nodal reentry
·         Accessory pathway–mediated tachycardia
·         Atrial tachycardia (including automatic and reentry forms)
·         Multifocal atrial tachycardia (MAT)
·         Junctional tachycardia (rare in adults)

Note:  Irregular narrow-complex tachycardias are likely atrial fibrillation or MAT; occasionally atrial flutter is irregular

Wide Complex Tachycardias
·         Ventricular tachycardia (VT
·         SVT with aberrancy
·         Pre-excited tachycardias (Wolff-Parkinson-White [WPW] syndrome)

Note:  Because ACLS providers may be unable to distinguish between supraventricular and ventricular rhythms, they should be aware that most wide-complex (broad-complex) tachycardias are ventricular in origin.

Vagal maneuvers
·         Carotid sinus massage
·         Coughing
·         Valsalva maneuver
·         Stimulation of gag reflex
·         Digital rectal stimulation

·         Depresses AV node and sinus node
·         Terminates AV nodal reenterant tachycardia
·         Clarifies rhythm

Valsalva Maneuver
·         Performed by the patient (patient must be conscious and cooperative)
·         Document the dysrhythmia before treating
·         Explain the procedure to the patient
·         Instruct the patient to inhale and hold their breath and:
·         Bear down as if to have a bowel movement, and to hold this position for 20-30 seconds.

Expert consultation

Primary Survey
·         Airway- supplemental oxygen
·         Breathing
·         Circulation
·         Check VS

·         Attach defibrillator/monitor
·         12 lead EKG

Recognize Symptom of Instability?
·         Evaluate the patient: symptomatic or unstable
·         Identify potential reversible causes of the tachycardia

Many experts suggest that when a heart rate is <150 beats per minute, it is unlikely that symptoms of instability are caused primarily by the tachycardia unless there is impaired ventricular function.

Symptomatic Tachycardia
·         Symptomatic implies that an arrhythmia is causing symptoms, such as palpitations, lightheadedness, or dyspnea, but the patient is stable and not in imminent danger.
·         In such cases more time is available to decide on the most appropriate intervention

Unstable Tachycardia
·         Refers to a condition in which vital organ function is acutely impaired or cardiac arrest is ongoing or imminent.
·         When an arrhythmia causes a patient to be unstable, immediate intervention is indicated

Symptoms of Instability
·         Chest pain
·         Syncope
·         Shortness of breath

I hate "Doubtful Promise"

What is a PROMISE?
A promise which is also called troth is a physchological contract indicating a transaction between two persons whereby the first person undertakes in the future to render some service or gift to the second person or devotes something valuable now and here to his or her use. A promise may also refer to any kind of vow or guarantee.(credits to wikipedia)
In my simple words 'promise' is something that you give to someone to expect and that someone is hoping by the promise you gave. No matter big or small your promise is, it really matters if the other person is already hoping and wishing something from it. How if you failed to meet the promise? Do you say sorry? or do you think the person you gave promise to, doesnt have the heart and brains to think that you are a promiser but a fake one and is hopeless..
Do you promise someone today? do you manage to fulfill it, or just goes on and on promising your heart out but breaking it every minutes pass by? That's the fact that I just don't like to promise, if knowing that by chances any unknown circumstances would break out the made up promise.
If I made a promise , I will make sure that if the promise is not fulfilled, I will apologized heartedly and meant it ,else you are not gaining any respect and believe again from someone that trusted you from the start.
Its not the promise that matters, its the respect and faith you have placed it on someone. You lose it, you lose respect and believe from them, when you lose them, you lose friends and when you are losing friends, you are alone..Man cannot live alone..Thats why God made Eve for Adam.
Respect and be careful what you promise today!

Jody Donnelly said...

I don't like to make promises and more I don't like receiving promises because there is always something that could come up :)

FJL said...

If the promise is fulfilled then its fine, but what if its not, right? better nothing.:)

Not being able to keep promises to reinvent a dead mall to avoid paying taxes is one thing, slowly killing a successful one due to personal greed is on another level of malevolence altogether.

The son still has much to learn from the father...

This is a cuisine from the hindus of the Kashmir region. The cuisine of Kashmir has actually developed over hundreds of years. The major and the first influence on the Kashmiri cuisine is the food of the Kashmiri Pandits. After that the Kashmiri cuisine was influenced by the culture of the people who reached Kashmir with the invasion of the region by Timur from Uzbekistan. The Kashmiri cuisine has also been influenced by other central Asian, Afghan and Persian cultures.

A one-of-a-kind cuisine, Kashmiri Pandit food is not as easily available across the country as Wazwan, the more widely known Kashmiri meal. In fact, there is hardly anyone of Kashmiri Pandit lineage who has ever showcased the cuisine to people outside the community.
The actual Kashmiri Pandit Cuisine uses a lot of turmeric and yoghurt. This cuisine traditionally does not use garlic and onion. Some of the typical foods included in this cuisine are, Veth Chaman, Chamani Qaliya, Nadeir Yakhean, Dama Oluv, Nadier Palak, Muji Chetein, Choek Vangan, Razmah Dal Aanchar, Razmah Goagji, etc

Kashmiris as a community are one of the wonderful hosts you may ever come across. Their consciousness for food preparations is incomparable. Hence, it is not a surprise that Kashmiri cuisine holds its distinction to other cuisines and probably one of the most sought after in India. Because of the complexity involved and long preparation hours, Kashmiri food is not available in normal restaurants. We , being lucky souls have found a special place to savour this valuable cucisine in our vicinity at MATAMAAL.

“Matamaal” just by its name has made a special impact on me, it means Nani’s House (Grandmas’ Place) which deserves a special mention in my case as I have lived at least half my life at my Nani’s . Starting to chat with the Lady par excellence Mrs. Nalini Moti Sadhu the brain and soul behind this lovely food place, we came to know about her passion for food and how her family encouraged and motivated her to live her dream and start a food venture. The best thing to note here is, she is not at all after money (being from a very well to do background), she primarily wants to showcase her passion for her cuisine to the people who have never tried it. I loved the way she entered the kitchen and cooked for us as she wanted to be sure about the way that particular dish is cooked. She has even been invited to Singapore and other countries by renowned 5 star hotels for doing pop ups and training classes on Kashmiri Cuisine.

We started with the Tabak Maaz (Qabargaah) slow braised in milk and spices then deep / shallow fried.This is one dish , I can always lean down to my knees for. Awesome texture and flavors, a MUST MUST HAVE.

For the main course you cannot ignore anything at all. Especially the Qaliyan (mildly spiced yellow curry mutton) , Dum Aloo (deep fried potatoes in red gravy), Lyadur Chaman (Paneer in red gravy), Rogan josh and the most authentic Nadru Yakhni (lotus stems cooked in curd based gravy) and Haak (a local green vegetable, collard greens).

Amongst the whole fair, Dum Aloo is considered to be the ‘King of the Feast’. Prepared from the choicest of the potatoes, the cook’s dignity is at stake cooking this dish. It’s a MUST HAVE.
Every dish will have a distinct flavor of mild and fragrant spices like cinnamon, elaichi, fennel seeds, cloves, bay leaves, saffron and many more. The red colour in some gravy’s comes from the very famous Deggi Mirch or the Kashmiri Mirch which is high on colour but not too hot and spicy. Steamed rice is served with all the dishes as Kashmiris are not wheat lovers.

One can wrap up the lovely meal by having a cup of Kahwa (homemade) or a portion of Phirni , though we had both.

I am for sure, going back again this week itself. I am addicted to “Matamaal” now…You know why !

I immediately noticed the Phantom Tollbooth reference!

I see neighboring houses and the lake.

I hear my daughter skillfully practicing her violin and my son making funny grunting noises downstairs.

I smell the beginnings of a fried fish dinner. :(

I feel my leg tingling, because I am sitting on it.

I taste the flavor left behind by Wheat Thins.

4:45 pm.

I see my bare mattress, because I was in the middle of changing the sheets when I plopped down to read a blog post (had to take a break, LOL) and a curled up sleeping kitty that looks like she's smiling.

I hear said kitty snoring softly, K.D. Lang singing, an occasional cricket chirp outside and the indeterminate hum that is my suburban neighborhood at night.

I can't smell anything, because my sinuses are plugged tight from all the pollen.

I feel my sore back and achy knee, sinus pressure, and the release of knowing that all the kids are peacefully asleep now.

I can't taste much either (sinuses again). More's the pity.

It's 12:37 am. Need to go to bed. (Need to MAKE the bed!)

I like this exercise.

Huh...You should read my post for today...'cause I think I answered you without even reading this post first. Does this mean we're on the same track? Thinking the same things? Uh-oh - you're in trouble!

Shade and Sweetwater,

Elaina Avalos

I see houses and street lights.

I hear sirens. They appear to be heading to this neighborhood...

I smell wet grass and dirt. The sprinklers just shut off.

I feel hot air. The ceiling fan is turning but it's just not cutting it.

I taste cookies and cream ice cream.

It's 2219.

all things BD

I see the lighted back yard of my neighbors, who have built an oasis including pool, fountains, hot tub, and outdoor kitchen and fire pit.

I hear birds chirping, the fountain next door, and kids laughing on the street.

I smell freshly cut grass, the gardeners having been here today.

I feel a light, warm breeze, a relief from the 95 degree heat today.

I taste Diet Coke.

It's 9:30pm.

Bob Cleveland

This one's easy. The answer is, mostly, ME.

It is 10:30 a.m.
I SEE my laptop and a PolyCom speaker phone. I am on a mind-numbing webinar dealing with FMLA, ADA, and other sexy HR laws.
I HEAR - actually I can barely hear the lawyers speaking because their microphones are not turned out loud enough.
I SMELL an excuse to read blogs instead of looking at boring powerpoint slides.
I FEEL like these are two hours of my life that I will never get back.
I TASTE nothing now, but hope to be tasting a burrito or some tacos in about two hours.

I see my laptop. And a fog-enveloped day out the window.

I hear the clock ticking, and some kind of unrecognizable humming. And the keys of the keyboard clicking.

I smell coffee.

I feel ready to get back to work today.

I taste coffee.

It's 8:36 a.m.

Da Goddess

I'm glad I'm not the only one who's read Phantom Tollbooth.

As for the questions: Um...I'll have to get back to you on that one.

P.S. Great Laugh-In tie in with the pic

Chesapeake Bay Woman

I see the six a.m. sun trying to make its way over the horizon as its rays dance across the sky and across our creek. (And two cats trying to make their way in the house.)

I hear a chorus of cardinals and robins announcing the arrival of a new day. (And I hear the cats meowing because they're starving.)

I smell salt water and cool, damp air after last night's thunderstorms. (I smell cat food coming out the can.)

I feel cold air that has hope of growing warmer as that sun rises higher in the sky. (I feel a cat or six rubbing against my ankles.)

I taste toothpaste, because I just brushed them. (I do not taste cat food, although I'm surprised as much as I serve it up.)

Great exercise!

Laurie Ann

I see the public storage building at Highland and Santa Monica and circling police helicopters.

I hear the fan in the living room.

I smell something funky in my kitchen. Better take the trash out.

I feel sticky. It's 90 degrees in my apartment.

I taste minty freshness from brushing my teeth.

It is 12:45am. All is swell.

Cactus Petunia

I see the pile of construction debris outside the studio door that I forgot to drag out to the curb tonight.

I hear the rythmic roar of a freight train that sounds as if it's running through the back yard, even though it's a half-mile away.

I smell the faint scent of plum and cherry blossoms, with just a whiff of cut grass.

I feel the neighborhood dreaming in the cool April night air.

I, too taste cheap red wine, with a chocolate chip cookie chaser.

It's now 12:34 pm

Memoirs of a Geisha

"He was looking at me as a musician might look at his instrument just before he begins to play, with understanding and mastery. I felt that could see into me as though I were a part of him. How I would have loved to be the instrument he played!" these are the thoughts of 11-year-old Chiyo after her first meeting with the Chairman on the banks of the Kaino River. The chairman's charisma, charm, gentleness and sensitivity are a like a soothing balm on Chiyo's soul. A flash of an oasis in the cruel life that Chiyo lives in the okiya, a Geisha house. The encounter remains etched forever in Chiyo's mind and she decides to work hard towards becoming a successful Geisha, successful enough to win the affections of a man like the Chairman. Geishas are women trained to entertain men in 17th century Japan. They were trained to be skilled artists and conversationalists able to win the hearts of powerful men. Often they are misunderstood as prostitutes. But the journey from an ordinary girl to a geisha is not just tough but cruel. And that is what Memoirs of a Geisha is all about. The lives behind the painted masks of geishas and the pains with which they have to learn their arts of seduction. However, it is not just the beauty that makes a successful geisha, it is being present at the right place at the right time, and most importantly with the right man. It is amazing how the Arthur Golden has seen through the heart and soul of woman, who as a little girl who is cheated into coming to Kyoto by Mr. Tanaka a trader after her mother dies. Both Chiyo and her sister Satsu are sold. But while Satsu’s fate is to be sold into prostitution, Chiyo’s beauty and translucent eyes see her at the doors of an okiya.
At first Chiyo is devastated, separated by her sister and family and oppressed by the vain geisha Hatsumomo she doesn’t see any hope in her life. She hates being a maid in the okiya and dreads the life of a geisha. But life takes a turn when she come to know of her father’s death and her chance encounter with the chairman. In a way, the desire for the chairman fires her ambitions as she decides that one day she will have the chairman as her patron. It is not long before Chiyo becomes Nitta Sayuri, one of the most popular geishas in Kyoto.Golden, an MA in Japanese History from Columbia University with his lucid writing skills and arduous research has given us a peek into a now forgotten world of geishas of Gion, Kyoto. Right from the dressing style of the geisha, that is different from that of a prostitutes to the concept of the mizuage, Golden with his eye for detail has brought alive a time gone by. For the Geisha system was abolished right after the World War II. It was also beginning to fade away as rich patrons couldn’t afford to keep the geishas. Golden follows the thread till the end as Memoirs sustains the reader’s interest, weaving its way through the lives and loves of a Geisha. The tale though fictituous brings to light the reality that geishas lived half-a-century ago.

Comics by women for women - CLAMP

Who says comics are not literature?
Comics are a great combination between the letters and the graphic arts, the union that allows its clear understanding by people at various levels of knowledge, which in theory, make them more democratic compared to books and exhibitions of arts, especially in times of Today, with the advent of the internet, where one can find a plethora of available works, just have patience to make downloads.Como I really like Eastern comics, then they will have the privilege today! Next week we switch to Josi!
Manga are Japanese comics and manga are the artists who give life to them, and perform the work skillfully, nourishing a certain contempt for technological support, their work is handmade, manga are often made only with a fountain pen and ink! In Japan they are taken as seriously as the novels here in Brazil, the industry works in full swing and every year, artists employ as mangaka in Japão.Números impressive, no?As a big fan of this sport literary''m here to defend them and traverse a bit about women who are in them inseridas.Podem be villains, damsels, believe they make a difference! But, however today I speak of women who create the comics! These women who I''m talking use no additional assistant, why not work with goals, but with quality! Each is responsible for a part of the work in making of manga!
I speak of that group CLAMP is one of the most acclaimed groups mangaka today. Emerged in the 80s, when a group of friends decided to get together to publish short works unofficial, so-called doujinshis.Na most often they parodied pre-existing series, such as a classic work of Saint Seiya yaoi.
Yaoi is the part of male homosexual comics, in fact they have different aspects but this is a matter for the future.
In 1987, they decided to start producing their own stories, and 89 received the proposal to officially publish the magazine Wings, RG Veda, was the group''s debut work of CLAMP. After the premiere the group reached stardom, and published major successes that are sure many of us have caught on contact format anime, cartoon deles.Alguns examples are: X/1999, Magic Knight Rayearth, Cardcaptor Sakura, Tsubasa Chronicle , Chobits among many outros.Atualmente the group is composed of artists Mokona, Satsuki Igarashi, Nanase Ohkawa and Tsubaki Nekoi but grew to 11 members at the beginning!His trademarks are the extremely elaborate scenarios and characters where every detail is worked to perfection, see the hair, eyes and clothes prepared, determined the fact that "CLAMP style." It is impossible not to look at a manga or an anime and not know how to differentiate what is and what is not CLAMP. Also the plots are developed taking into account the cultural and religious tradition Nipponese, whose belief is based on animism and anthropomorphism of nature, a characteristic found in Shinto, the great pillar of the essence of the Japanese people.
Therefore, their stories are intriguing issues involving ancestry, mysticism, karma, stories that were not resolved in a lifetime and that will have to be resolved in other incarnations, be they issues of love, friendship, hatred or vingança.Também''s humorous elements and a certain eroticism yaoi and yuri [lesbianism] in their productions. The intertextuality between the works themselves is a very good employee to maintain the loyalty of the public, because they always bring the key piece that will solve some mystery in other works, by the way extended.All these elements makes the manga group CLAMP captivate not only the girls, who are originally directed, but also to boys. I hope the success of the group CLAMP here is inspiring to our group blog! How are gone my links to download some manga group CLAMP, and even then it is not feasible because there are hundreds of volumes, I will put videos of anime adaptations of works some of the girls!

james patterson, best seller book

It is no surprise that in January, 2010, The New York Times Magazine featured James Patterson on its cover and hailed him as having "transformed book publishing," and that Time magazine hailed him as "The Man Who Can't Miss." Recently, NBC's Rock Center with Brian Williams profiled Patterson's prolific career, AARP named him one of the "50 Most Influential People Who Make Our Days a Little Brighter," and Variety featured him in a cover story highlighting his adventures in Hollywood. In 2013, it was estimated that one-in-five of all hardcover suspense/thriller novels sold was written by James Patterson, his books have sold over 300 million copies worldwide, and he holds the Guinness record for the most #1 New York Times bestsellers of any author. And his success isn't based solely on thrillers like the perennially popular Alex Cross, Women's Murder Club and Michael Bennett series. Patterson is now also the current bestselling author in the young adult and middle grade categories. He's been called the busiest man in publishing, and that's not just because of his own books. For the past decade, James has been devoting more and more of his time to championing books and reading. From the James Patterson Pageturner Awards, to his website, to his College Book Bucks scholarships and his regular donations of hundreds of thousands of books to schools here in the states and troops overseas (see interviews on Fox & Friends, The Dennis Miller Radio Show and, Patterson has passed on his passion of books and reading and supported those who do the same. Jim personally funded a major ad campaign re-printing a recent opinion piece on about how it is our responsibility to get our kids reading. The ad has run in the

Explore the sights of Inferno alongside Robert Langdon in this exclusive first look at Dan Brown's latest thriller

Q&A with Dan Brown

Q. Inferno refers to Dante Alighieri´s The Divine Comedy. What is Dante’s significance? What features of his work or life inspired you?
A. The Divine Comedy—like The Mona Lisa—is one of those rare artistic achievements that transcends its moment in history and becomes an enduring cultural touchstone. Like Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony, The Divine Comedy speaks to us centuries after its creation and is considered an example of one of the finest works ever produced in its artistic field. For me, the most captivating quality of Dante Alighieri is his staggering influence on culture, religion, history, and the arts. In addition to codifying the early Christian vision of Hell, Dante’s work has inspired some of history’s greatest luminaries—Longfellow, Chaucer, Borges, Tchaikovsky, Liszt, Monteverdi, Michelangelo, Blake, Dalí—and even a few modern video game designers. Despite Dante’s enduring influence on the arts, however, most of us today have only a vague notion of what his work actually says—both literally and symbolically (which, of course, is of great interest to Robert Langdon). A few years ago, I became very excited about the prospect of writing a contemporary thriller that incorporated the philosophy, history, and text of Dante’s timeless descent into The Inferno.

Dan Brown
Q. Where did do your research for Inferno? How long did you spend on it?
A. Researching Inferno began with six months of reading, including several translations of The Divine Comedy, various annotations by Dante scholars, historical texts about Dante’s life and philosophies, as well as a lot of background reading on Florence itself. At the same time, I was poring over all the new scientific information that I could find on a cutting edge technology that I had decided to incorporate into the novel. Once I had enough understanding of these topics to proceed, I traveled to Florence and Venice, where I was fortunate to meet with some wonderful art historians, librarians, and other scholars who helped me enormously.
Once this initial phase of research was complete, I began outlining and writing the novel. As is always the case, when a book begins to take shape, I am drawn in unexpected directions that require additional research. This was also the case with Inferno, which took about 3 years from conception to publication.
With respect to the process, the success of these novels has been a bit of a Catch-22. On one hand, I now have wonderful access to specialists, authorities, and even secret archives from which to draw information and inspiration. On the other hand, because there is increased speculation about my works in progress, I need to be increasingly discreet about the places I go and the specialists with whom I speak. Even so, there is one aspect of my research that will never change—making personal visits to the locations about which I’m writing. When it comes to capturing the feel of a novel’s setting, I find there is no substitute for being there in the flesh...even if sometimes I need to do it incognito.
Q. What kind of adventure will Robert Langdon face this time? Can you give us any sneak peak at the new novel?
A. Inferno is very much a Robert Langdon thriller. It’s filled with codes, symbols, art, and the exotic locations that my readers love to explore. In this novel, Dante Alighieri’s ancient literary masterpiece—The Divine Comedy—becomes a catalyst that inspires a macabre genius to unleash a scientific creation of enormous destructive potential. Robert Langdon must battle this dark adversary by deciphering a Dante-related riddle, which leads him to Florence, where he finds himself in a desperate race through a landscape of classical art, secret passageways, and futuristic technology.
Q. What made Florence the ideal location for Inferno?
A. No city on earth is more closely tied to Dante Alighieri. Dante grew up in Florence, fell in love in Florence, and began writing in Florence. Later in life, when he was exiled for political reasons, the longing he felt for his beloved Florence became a catalyst for The Divine Comedy. Through his enduring poem, Dante enjoyed the “last word” over his political enemies, banishing them to various rings of Inferno where they suffered terrible tortures.

From Publishers Weekly

The threat of world overpopulation is the latest assignment for Brown's art historian and accidental sleuth Robert Langdon. Awakening in a Florence hospital with no memory of the preceding 36 hours, Langdon and an attractive attending physician with an oversized intellect are immediately pursued by an ominous underground organization and the Italian police. Detailed tours of Florence, Venice, and Istanbul mean to establish setting, but instead bog down the story and border on showoffmanship. Relying on a deceased villain's trail of clues threaded through the text of Dante's The Divine Comedy, the duo attempt to unravel the events leading up to Langdon's amnesia and thwart a global genocide scheme. Suspension of disbelief is required as miraculous coincidences pile upon pure luck. Near the three-quarters point everything established gets upended and Brown, hoping to draw us in deeper, nearly drives us out. Though the prose is fast-paced and sharp, the burdensome dialogue only serves plot and back story, and is interspersed with unfortunate attempts at folksy humor. It's hard not to appreciate a present day mega-selling thriller that attempts a refresher course in Italian literature and European history. But the real mystery is in the book's denouement and how Brown can possibly bring his hero back for more. Agent: Heide Lange, Sanford J. Greenberger Associates. (May)

The Media Monopoly

An interview with Ben Bagdikian, author of The Media Monopoly:
When "The Media Monopoly" first appeared in 1983, Bagdikian was alarmed that more than half of the media outlets in this country were controlled by 50 corporations. By the 1997 edition of his book, that number had dropped to 10. Today it stands at six (AOL Time Warner, Viacom, News Corp., Disney, General Electric and Bertelsmann).

The result is a landscape of media giants whose political clout in Washington should raise alarm about their collective power as well as concerns about the independent watchdog role that the news media play in covering the federal government, he says.

Bagdikian recalls the high-minded promises made by the architects of the AOL Time Warner merger two years ago that the union would not affect news coverage and would offer customers more content choices, not fewer.

"I know that speech by heart," he says. "It's made by every large corporate leader, but it's just not true. News almost never escapes shareholders' demands for maximum profits. As for promises not to interfere in the editorial process, when the stakes are high enough, there always is an intrusion. We've seen it with Disney clamping down on dissident voices and hard-nosed journalism, and we will see it at AOL Time Warner."

While the corporate honchos talk about synergy, Bagdikian says, customers get shortchanged by the incredible shrinking diversity of content. Remember the AOL Time Warner executive at the top who sang the praises of reduced duplication of effort in covering events like the Oscars? That's exactly what worries Bagdikian.

"Ultimately, what you're talking about is fewer choices, fewer journalists in the field, fewer foreign news bureaus, fewer news stories, fewer programming choices available," he says. "Diversity of channels does not give you diversity of content. You really need diversity of outlets to find a true diversity of voices and points of view."

This entire article from the USC Annenberg Online Journalism Review is great and full of insights, and well worth your perusal.

EP069: Her

By Tobias S. Buckell.
Read by Stephen Eley.

“It’s fascinating,” Jo said, now that she had what she wanted out of me, “that the inhabitants here are the only race we know of that has their mythology dead on.”

“Huh?” I looked down at the table. I needed more beer.

“They believe they live on the corpse of a giant.”

“Maybe it’s because they do,” I said, sneaking another look back down the inner thigh that dominated the western hemisphere.

Rated R. Contains explicit anatomical imagery. On a very large scale.

Extremely cool premise, one of those I really wish I'd thought of first.  Smiley  As the commenters on the blog said, the explicit referral to Mother Earth weakened it because the analogy was already very clear.  This brought up all kinds of practical questions that were never answered (in a good way):  Is she really dead or just sleeping?  Are there more of her kind?  Why does she look human?

And, as another blog commenter pointed out, considering earth religions as being homogenous wasnot at all accurate.  Especially since they mentioned Buddhism, which I wouldn't expect to have the objections to nudity that some other religions might have.

The end just kind of petered off, I would've liked to see a little more resolution.

Long time lurker, decided to finally give in a join this forum!

My question is simple, (rolling high hats) I've tried different delays and shorting the length of the note etc etc but i could never really get them correct ( even sidechain) question could anybody guide me on the right direction on achieving the following pattern? the sample is in the very beginning of the song it's the rolling high hats !

Example :

thanks so much! i look forward for the replys!

Embryo Adoption Expand / Collapse

9/17/2010 3:30 PM
My husband and I are about to begin the process of embryo adoption. We know the child will not have our genes but I would like to try to find a match where the child ends up having similar looks as we do. Does anyone know of a couple that has tried embryo adoption and the baby born looks like the parents that gave birth?

Happy birthday Abwayax! :)
Hi! I identify as female.  She/her pronouns, please.

Online I most often use the username Torchickens or Chickasaurus.

Ah.. koucha ga oishii ♪

Thank you Aeriixion for the cute sprite above! :) Roelof also made different variations of the sprite (which I animated).

If you like, please contact me by private message here on the forums as I no longer check other places very often.

I like to collect interesting video games. ^_^

Give love, receive love, repeat. But in order to love others you must first love yourself unconditionally, even if it means abandoning pressure from projects or taking time off work and empathise with the self as you are your own best friend. The key often is simply to follow your heart, your urges and have faith they are valid; use them to do what you want to do as long as it doesn't harm anyone, and/or sympathise and respect it as we all have bad days (even the prettiest rose has thorns but is still beautiful).

I have seen the in-car picture before but did not realize you were using CIS. Very innovative and nice job. I love it when folks do this kind of stuff.

No doubt in my mind about it - ditch the AAR. You do not need it in your application. The hand throttle will suffice and the plumbing nightmare goes away.

I assume you know that the header tube length is going to hurt you and you chose a good turbo to compensate. The distance from the air metering plate to the turbo inlet and back to the throttle body will likely sponge your throttle response a bit as well. Low tranny gears? Problem solved! Is that a 915 from a 914?

What is the 7th injector for? Boost enrichment? The stock 930 intake was not designed to handle fuel in that manner. The fuel tends to puddle and a couple of cylinders run leaner than the rest. If you are shooting for under 400RWHP fuel enrichment would not be needed, further simplifying your engine.

I am not picking at your project, just thinking out loud about my past experiences and research concerning these issues.

That is gonna be one fun ride when you're finished!

PS - nice air cleaner by the way. Ha!

If you have to go to the dealer try Beechmont Porsche in Cincinnati, OH. Without PCA discount they are in line with online vendors and with the discount they are significantly lower. I'm amazed to say that I get the majority of my parts from them and save money.

    Metal Frame as Artwork

    I saw a Kish Ti frame on their website main page images. The frame had some amazing scroll work on it. I was wondering where to find more of it. I'm use to seeing AL mt bikes or all carbon bikes. Pretty cool to see. I bet it's a lot of time to do something like that. Impressive.

  1. Hello, just to let you know that I'm pretty sure that I won't be on the forums at all tomorrow since Christmas is a "no computers allowed" affair in my family (I'll be on Twitter on very brief occasions though, so feel free to peek there if you want to see any stuff I get) so I just wanted to wish you all a very Merry & Happy Christmas/holiday period!

    I'll leave you with my favourite Christmas song to get you all in the festive mood, "Christmas Eve" by Tatsuro Yamashita.

Also shout out to @Twice's Bias for filling my Twitter feed with TWICE every once in a while Love you all!
  23. I'm freaking out right now, apparently I've been shadowbanned on my personal Twitter and I've done NOTHING wrong and had no notification of this! :mm-wut:
    What should I do?

    1. Beanie

      I'm not exactly sure how shadowbans work but... I hope you won't be shadowbanned for long :cy-fluffy:Saw it happen to one of my friends and it was not a fun experience for them either

    2. MomoMomoMo

      Thanks @Mina'sYellowBeanie - I did some more searching and it turns out I'm not shadowbanned! For some reason, Twitter's not showing my tweets in the search algorithm, which triggered the shadowban checker to think I was shadowbanned. People are still getting notifications from me, though, so all good, thank god.

    3. Beanie

      Oh that's strange :mm-wut:I wonder what's up with Twitter these days :ny-hmm:It's good to know that you aren't shadowbanned, though. :ny-yes:

Forty-nine-year-old Delmar Dixon was sentenced Thursday in Kansas City. He pleaded guilty in March to conspiracy and falsely swearing in an immigration matter.

Dixon admitted he arranged 30 to 40 fraudulent marriages, including his own. He charged the African nationals $1,000 upfront and another $1,000 after the wedding was complete. The nationals were asked to pay their spouses $250 amonth until the immigration process was complete.

Five co-defendants also have pleaded guilty. Two of them have also have been sentenced to prison.

Foundations: Preparing for a Fashionable Winter...

As many of you have observed, I've been refining and refining my closet for a few years. This past summer I stumbled upon the most effective method of all for finally cropping it down to a tightly edited closet. It was the pivotal moment in the lengthy personal wardrobe purge. The result? Peace of mind and a walk-in that brings a smile to my face daily.

So now I'm "there" on my goal of a slimmed down wardrobe. Excess has been eliminated and I love what is left. One advantage is the ability to clearly see what needs to be replaced, updated or added to (more fitted black tees, please!). The other clear advantage of the streamlined result is this: as each new season approaches I can see exactly what is lacking and where the "holes" are in my bulletproof closet. Hence, my current situation.

Why am I lacking winter foundational pieces? It's that spicy Dallas weather. It is so unbelievably hot in Texas each summer that I can hardly imagine cold weather. It makes it almost impossible to imagine what is necessary for cold winter days. The idea of nailing down tall boots when it is 98 degrees is unreasonable at best, torturous at worst.

That said, when the mercury does drop it drops with urgency. Chilly weather descents upon our pretty city with a major attitude. Days are suddenly overcast and dreary (where art thou, great sun?), and the brisk air is unforgiving. Very unforgiving. Suddenly it is crystal clear what timeless pieces I'll need to add to the mix to pull off this season and many winters in the future.

Those just joining in should know I'm an investment shopper. Fewer, better, more fabulous additions to the wardrobe are all that are allowed. No fast fashion fixes. No placeholders. No ill fits. No substitutes. Examine each potential new acquisition and take care to source the best of the bunch, considering personal preferences and budget.

So... what is on the present list for the season? Here it is...

Simple, straightforward and relatively easy to find.... right? It would be if I were merely plugging holes. Remember: this is finding the perfect item at the perfect price in the perfect size. Simple. But simple is not always easy.

I'll tackle a few of my fashion targets in a moment, but explore them more deeply in separate posts. After all, the selection process is a thorough one. You might wonder how (or if) I can shop online for such key pieces. My answer? A few factors come into play here:

  1. SIZING
    I'm petite, but it only matters in terms of pants and certain jackets. Eve so,  shopping online is pretty much a necessity as finding petite jeans is rarely an option even in the best of stores.
    I live for and adore reading customer reviews. Criticisms and praise over items (as well as details such as age and body type) offer tremendous wisdom.
    No store will ever offer as to choose from much as the great wide web. If it's out at Neimans, Shopbop may well have it. One I hone in on an item I search far and wide to pin it down in my size.
    I know my key brands and am always adding a few more trusted labels to the mix (as others are shuffled out).
    Be willing to experiment by ordering several pairs of jeans or a few jackets to see which suits you best. Know the return policies, abide by the basic tenets of being a good customer and simply ship back (typically for free) the items (new with tags, of course) that did not fit. I try to ship back the very next day to avoid any hiccups, but you often have as much as 30 days or more to make decisions.
    I have two very small girls at home. While I have to take them out to try on shoes and help me find new moisturizers etc, I order online quite a bit. Why? Delivery straight to my door (and return pickup from home as well) are a dream come true. Why run about unnecessarily? I adore shopping and do plenty of it, but there's also a certain thrill in opening those glamorous ribboned Net-a-Porter boxes after the doorbell rings.

With that... here are a few current contenders for the vacancies above in my wardrobe...

OpenGarage, an Open-source WiFi garage door opener

Ray Wang has published a new project called OpenGarage, an open-source garage door opener based on ESP8266 and the Blynk app:

Today I am very excited to introduce you to OpenGarage — an open-source, universal garage door opener built using the ESP8266 WiFi chip and the Blynk app. I’ve wanted to finish this project for a while, as there have been multiple occasions where I left the house in a hurry and forgot to close my garage door, or locked myself out of the house, or had to let a friend or handyman in while I was away. Having a WiFi-based garage door opener (which I can access remotely using my mobile phone) would be super convenient. Recently as I started learning about ESP8266, I found it to be the perfect platform to help me complete this project.
