Some healthcare providers recommend the use of opioid medications to help patients manage pain. If your healthcare provider has prescribed an opioid medication for you, it is important that you understand the benefits and risks involved with taking these medications.
Being treated with an opioid medication may offer certain benefits. These potential benefits include: better control of pain, which may improve how you feel and function physically; an increased ability to function in personal and professional relationships, as well as an improved sense of overall well-being; and or a decrease in the intensity of pain.
Being treated with an opioid medication increases certain risks. These potential risks include:

As a fan of cheese, baked beans, cheese-on-baked-beans on toast, beer and rugby, many people wrongly assume I'm also a fan of farting. Let me be absolutely clear: I'm not.
Along with an appreciation of good music, the ability to contain the urge to fart sets human beings apart from animals and Australians.
New research recommends letting rip inflight - for safety's sake. A team of Danish and British gastroenterologists produced a paper on flatulence on planes, saying passengers will fart more than the usual 10 times a day because of changes in the volume of intestinal gases as cabin pressure alters.
The boffins warn that holding it in can lead to stress, pain, bloating and dyspepsia.
In the cockpit, uncut cheese could be lethal. "If the pilot restrains a fart, all the drawbacks previously mentioned, including diminished concentration, may affect his abilities to control the airplane," the researchers warn. "If he lets go of the fart his co-pilot may be affected by its odour, which again reduces safety on board the flight."
This research could be a rogue farter's charter. But flying can be stressful and tiring enough without being assaulted nasally by your neighbour's aroma. As with all things on board a plane, from sharing the armrest to helping others reach their luggage, show a little respect.

Eden Foods Sushi Nori - Cultivated - Toasted - .6 oz - Case of 6
Toasted nori sheets for sushi, nori rolls, and rice balls. Very versatile and popular. Ise Bay grown purity. Differences you can see and taste in its deep color, brilliant luster, and appealing sweet, mild flavor. Fat free, very low sodium, and a good source of calcium. EDEN Toasted Sushi Nori is the finest grade nori available, already toasted and ready to use for making sushi and nori rolls. The tastiest of all sea vegetables and the one that is most easily appreciated by the Western palate. EDEN Sushi Nori has a complex sweet, delicate aroma and flavor not found in lesser grades of nori. Nori Porphyra tenera is a red to deep purple algae or laver (there are more than thirty species) used to make paper thin sheets of dried nori. Nori has been harvested since ancient times providing a valuable food source - minerals, vitamins, trace minerals, iodine, and protein. Traditionally harvested in the wild, young tender fronds were eaten fresh in the spring. Due to increased demand and popularity, a simple system of nori cultivation began. EDEN Sushi Nori is a type of nori known as tenera in Japan, meaning soft and considered to be the most delicious of all nori species. Cultivated off the western shore of Ise (ee-say) Bay in Japan, an area surrounded by national forests and mountains known as the 'Ocean by Mountains' area. Rivers of pure mountain spring water nourish the bay, creating a mineral rich, pristine environment. This area of Japan is the country's leader in environmental and ecology movements. Industrial and residential development is forbidden here to ensure future generations the legacy of this famous, edible seaweed resource. Nori cultivation is an intricate craft in that spore quality, water temperature, a pristine growing environment and proper drying methods are crucial to producing the best quality product. EDEN Sushi Nori is cultivated in the traditional manner, using a system of woven rope nets made of hemp or palm fibers that are tied to bamboo poles and horizontally suspended in the bay. This intricate substratum is placed in the shallow bays in late September or early October. Over the autumn, winter, and early spring months with the coming in and going out of the tide, the nori spores attach to the netting and slowly develop into nori fronds or leaves. In spring the fully developed fronds are hand harvested at low tide, washed, chopped and placed in mixers before pressing it into flat, paper thin sheets between woven reed mats. After naturally sun drying, the sheets are cut and lightly toasted before packaging. EDEN Sushi Nori is is low in calories (5 per sheet), is fat and cholesterol free and a good source of vitamin C. According to the FDA, "Low fat diets rich in fruits and vegetables (foods that are low in fat and may contain dietary fiber, Vitamin A, or Vitamin C) may reduce the risk of some types of cancer, a disease associated with many factors." Also, "Diets low in sodium may reduce the risk of hypertension or high blood pressure, a disease associated with many factors." EDEN Sushi Nori is very low in sodium (5 mg per sheet). For those who use sea salt, which contains little iodine, nori is an excellent source of iodine with 1 sheet providing 70 percent of the daily value (DV). Use EDEN Sushi Nori to prepare sushi, nori rolls, and rice balls. Try it in sandwiches as a garnish, mixed with fried rice and noodle dishes, in salads or in scrambled tofu. Cut strips of nori, dip into batter and then deep fry them for a delicious, crispy snack. Nori may be used just as EDEN Wakame in miso soup or shoyu soy sauce broth (dashi).

Have you ever heard of "Caffe Viennese" or "Vienna Coffee"?
I have to confess that I never really checked if it actually has anything to do with Vienna, or if it does my version may not be the most authentic: I discovered this perfect beverage during my college years, in the historic cafes of Venice and Trieste – such as the Florian and the Tommaseo – and regarded it as my grown-up upgrade from Italian hot chocolate. My roommates and I found that it helped immensely with the cold, the fog, the all-nighters before exams, and heartless boyfriends .
While in general I find that most elaborate coffee drinks are just bad examples of "gilding the lily", please trust me with this: it's an improvement upon perfection!
Keep in mind that we are not talking about ordinary ingredients. Yes, chocolate tastes great, but there is more to it than what meets the lips: it's full of chemicals that are associated with mood and emotion (phenylethylamine, theobromine, anandamide and tryptophan, since you are asking), to the point that a shocking percentage of women report to prefer chocolate to sex (sorry, guys!). Daniele Piomelli, from the University of California, compares its effects to those of marijuana.
And don't get me started about coffee. How many of us would have graduated from college had it not been for those midnight Americanos, and could we still call New York "the city that never sleeps" without the omnipresent to-go cups of joe?
Obviously, the pairing of the two is a marriage made in heaven – as long as if you don't suffer from gastric ulcers.
Do not ask me how many calories are in a cup of this concoction. I have no idea. And besides, thinking about the calories may just make you crave it more. Go ahead and enjoy it, just try to stop after the first two cups!
Serves 4
- 4 small cups of espresso "ristretto" (strong and concentrated)
- 4 ounces really good bittersweet chocolate
- 1/3 cup heavy cream
- 1 tbsp sugar, or to taste
- Whipped cream to decorate, if you like (I prefer it without)
- Ground cinnamon, if liked
Bring some water to a boil in a saucepan and place a second saucepan or heat-proof bowl on top to create a bain-marie. Add the chocolate pieces or shavings to the top saucepan or bowl, and allow them to melt, stirring occasionally with a wooden spoon. Add the heavy cream and sugar and keep stirring. Add the espresso and keep heating until some bubbles form and it thickens. Remove from the heat, and add cinnamon or chocolate liqueur if liked. You can also decorate with whipped cream and chocolate shavings. I probably don't need to tell you this, but… serve immediately!

A seductive shadow that leaves a little to the imagination, this Zippo is sure to tickle your fancy.
George G. Blaisdell founded Zippo in 1932 and the company produced its first lighter early the following year. As testimony to Blaisdell's superior product, the original patent for the windproof lighter was granted in March of 1936 and, with the exception of minor improvements, the lighter is essentially the same today.
During WWII the Bradford, Pennsylvania company ceased selling their products commercially and supplied the US military with lighters. The reliable Zippos had earned the servicemen's loyalty during the war, thus ensuring the company's success and everlasting popularity; over the decades Zippos have proven to be highly collectible. Still family-owned, Zippo has sold more than 400 million lighters and for over 75 years has stood by their pledge and lifetime guarantee: "It works, or we fix it for free."

TriGeo Network Security's TriGeo Security Information Manager 3.0
A review of the security information management product: TriGeo Network Security's TriGeo Security Information Manager 3.0.
TriGeo Network Security's TriGeo Security Information Manager 3.0
TriGeo Network Security
Price: Starts at $19,820
|TriGeo Network Security's TriGeo Security Information Manager 3.0
Turning data from multiple network and security devices into actionable information isn't just a headache for Fortune 1000 companies--SMBs with limited staff need to know quickly when their networks are threatened.
TriGeo Network Security's TriGeo Security Information Manager (TriGeo SIM) 3.0 fills this niche as a highly flexible, easy-to-manage appliance that's designed to support 50 to 5,000 active devices.
It also adds automated remediation, a plus for any organization. TriGeo SIM can issue policy-based commands to block IP addresses and ports, and shut down or reboot users through Cisco Systems, Check Point Software Technologies, Juniper Networks, WatchGuard Technologies, SonicWALL, TopLayer Networks and Fortinet devices.
Like other SIMs, the appliance gathers data--typically logs--from devices and applications via agents or remote logging from firewalls, routers and switches. Data is normalized and processed by the policy engine, which initiates remediation action and/or an alert via e-mail, SMS, pagers and handheld devices.
The sweet spot for TriGeo, though, is its interface and management. TriGeo has hundreds of prebuilt correlation filters and rules that are as easy to use as LEGOs.
You can create filters based on alert types, and then operate the filters based on any of the data contained within the alert. For example, you can create a "VPN Alerts" tab that can be used to show only the alerts from a Cisco VPN Concentrator. Other custom filters might show modifications to user accounts or changes to do-main properties.
The appliance ships with more than 500 predefined rules. For example, change management rules can identify when users, groups, domains or policies are manipulated. Rules can apply to a specific group of devices, be time-dependent and have easily modifiable thresholds. One drawback is the lack of directory support; users and groups have to be manually created.
Exec Summary
- Prebuilt rules, easily modified
- Automated remediation
- Good "live" dashboard
- Device support just OK
- No directory support
Device support isn't as broad as some enterprise-level SIMs: about 100, with a hefty Cisco representation. We used the appliance to monitor events from Juniper's NetScreen firewalls, Snort IDS sensors, Cisco routers and switches, Norton Anti-Virus CE software, and Win- dows and Linux workstations.
Event storage capacity runs from 73GB, to 3x73GB RAID5 arrays, depending on purchase level. The Data Warehouse function can support additional storage to a second database (MS SQL server).
The live console dashboard is very good, giving security managers easy access to alerts and agent status, with the ability to drill down for detail. The Crystal Reports are acceptable; out-of-the box reports are static--unlike the live dashboard, you can't review these reports' graphical data in real time or drill down for more detail to investigate interesting patterns. This can be remedied with a third-party tool.
With its ease of use and automated remediation features, TriGeo SIM is a sensible option for organizations that don't quite need the muscle--or the cost--of a large enterprise product.

SANFORD, Florida (Reuters) - A Florida judge on Tuesday ruled out any further delay in next month's trial of George Zimmerman, the former neighborhood watch captain charged with second-degree murder for last year's killing of unarmed black teenager Trayvon Martin.
Circuit Court Judge Debra Nelson, who ruled against a string of defense motions during a two-hour hearing in Seminole County Criminal Court, rejected a defense request to delay the scheduled June 10 start of the trial.
Martin's February 26, 2012, killing ignited protests across the country. Much of the public outcry centered on race issues because police initially declined to arrest Zimmerman, who is white and Hispanic, on grounds that he killed the 17-year-old Martin in self-defense.
"The whole world is watching to see if everybody in America gets equal justice," Benjamin Crump, a lawyer representing Martin's parents, said after Tuesday's hearing. "Most Americans believe that if the shoe had been on the other foot, Trayvon Martin would have been arrested that night," Crump added, speaking in an interview on CNN's Headline News.
During Tuesday's hearing, Nelson ruled that defense attorneys cannot bring up Trayvon Martin's past marijuana use at trial, or his school suspension shortly before he was killed and alleged participation in fights.
Such background information might only be addressed during the trial if its relevance became apparent during the proceedings and the judge gave specific permission to use it, Nelson said. She also barred lawyers from mentioning in their opening arguments that an active ingredient of marijuana was found in Martin's blood shortly after his death.
Nelson also denied the state's motion for a gag order in the case and said she would rule at a later date as to whether the jury should be sequestered.
In an unexpected matter, Nelson scheduled a separate hearing for Friday to address a claim by Zimmerman's lead defense attorney, Mark O'Mara, that some evidence, including photos downloaded from Martin's cellphone, had been withheld by the prosecution.
One of the photos appeared to show Martin refereeing a fight between two other young men.
A defense request that jurors be taken to the crime scene, in a gated community in this town near Orlando in central Florida, was also rejected by Nelson.
In a motion to ban evidence of marijuana use, prosecutors said there is no evidence that Martin was under the influence or that marijuana contributed to his death. O'Mara claims, however, that the evidence supports the defense theory that Martin was the aggressor and a troubled teenager.
Zimmerman followed Martin after he spotted him walking in the rain in the gated community in Sanford, where Martin was spending the weekend in one of the townhomes with his father. Zimmerman called police to report a suspicious person and pursued Martin despite the dispatcher telling him not to. Soon after, Zimmerman shot Martin during a struggle before police arrived.
In court filings Zimmerman's lawyers say they want the judge to decide about the use during the trial of voice analysis of 911 tapes of calls to the police before and during the struggle.
Lawyers are seeking clarification from the judge about whether the science behind the various types of voice analysis used by experts for the state and defense is solid enough to be considered by the jury.
Nelson said those issues would be addressed at final pre-trial hearings set for June 6-7.
Experts have reached different conclusions about whether it was Zimmerman or Martin screaming in the background of a 911 call taped just before Martin was shot, or whether it was possible to be certain at all.
Some experts could isolate only seconds of usable audio on the tape while one prosecution expert claims to have deciphered several phrases uttered by Zimmerman and Martin.

Confirming Halladay
When Chris Wheeler and I were PR department teammates some three decades ago, he once said, "We should change the name of our department to the department of confirmation and denials."
"Wheels" was referencing the fact news often got out before we announced it. That was during the time when there were electric typewriters, old-fashioned telephones, no voice mails. Sorry, Pony Express had long passed.
A major news conference was held in the Media Room at Citizens Bank Park late this afternoon to confirm two trades. In today's world of instant news (cell phone, internet, texting, twitter, facebook and whatever else there is), these trades have dominated the news since Monday.
It became a game of hide and seek. Ruben and his staff and the PR staff had to hide from the seeking media until everything was finalized this afternoon.
Now, in a room as packed as it was for the postseason the last two autumns, we introduced our new pitching ace. 12 TV cameras were lined up in the back of the room, including one from Toronto.
Halladay wore #32 with the Blue Jays but that number is retired for Steve Carlton. So, he'll wear #34, which was Cliff Lee's uniform for three-plus months. #34 has become quite a collector's dream.
Nine weeks from today, he'll report to Bright House Field in Clearwater along with the other pitchers and catchers. First workout is the next day. Can't wait.
2 Comments
I am very happy about Halladay, but losing Lee does put a damper on it. Sad to see him go. Excited for Spring though…it needs to get here sooner :O)
I think that the whole Halladay trade was bull there was nothing wrong with cliff lee he was doing great and i just dont think that you should fix something that isnt broken.

You wont be suffering skin allergies, redness, soreness or itching with these skin whiteners, they are completely safe and whilst everyones skin tolerance is different there are no reported incidents of skin rashes, blemishes or any of the above conditions when using these safe (see skin lightening in rockford hampshire) and organic skin whitening creams, your see results quickly, within two to four weeks your see rapid and yet safe skin lightening, the pigmentation of your skin, the sun exposure and skin health are all important factors that can increase or decrease the time it takes for your skin to whiten but with a 100% guarantee that you can get your money back if your skin does not lighten, you have nothing to lose, once you have reached the skin colour that you want to remain at, you wont need to use as much of the cream, but your still need a maintenance cream as your skin is constantly growing and renewing and being damaged by the sun, wind and rain, just continue to use a smaller amount of these skin whitening creams as a maintenance regime when you are white enough.
To cover skin lightening in cusop powys and skin lightening in castletown dorset together with skin lightening in blaston leicestershire along with skin lightening in green end lancashire with skin lightening in llanwddyn powys as well as skin lightening in hayston dunbartonshire and skin lightening in waterside shropshire including skin lightening in cricket malherbie somerset also skin lightening in king water cumbria to skin lightening in menna cornwall and skin lightening in ballynamona county galway and skin lightening in galligill cumbria with skin lightening in kettlethorpe west yorkshire plus skin lightening in plaistow london and skin lightening in braunstone leicestershire.

Unlike other skin whitening creams, you can put makeup on top of the skin whitening creams, the only word of caution is to let the skin whitening cream dry before you apply the makeup, this should be no more than five minutes between applying to full dryness ready for makeup, for best results, keep the skin whiteners in the fridge, a cool dark place is always best to preserve the active ingredients (check skin lightening in rockford hampshire) and give you the quickest skin whitening experience ever, theres lots of skin whitening creams available, but not all are natural and organic and designed not to harm your skin in any way whilst also offering quick, results and a 100% money back guarantee, other brands you have probably had experience with are Zeta, Civant, Skin Bright, SkinWight and Ivory Caps.
If you have tried other skin whiteners and not had any results or are new to skin whitening and just want your skin to be a few shades lighter naturally, then give this skin whitener a go, it comes with a money back guarantee so there is nothing to lose and light, white, healthy looking skin to gain, organic, natural, vegan friendly and with no harsh chemicals, thats natural skin lightening that works.

Fresh Sheet September 30th - Reviews of recent and current Washington wine releases
2010 Harvest Report - September 29th Edition
The 2010 Harvest is underway in Washington State. Over the coming weeks, I will provide weekly updates on what is picked, where, and when. See previous reports here.
9/29 Update: The big news this week has been an extended stretch of 80-degree days. The warm weather is expected to continue for the next ten-plus days, allowing some sites to make up ground after a cool growing season. Kent Waliser says, "The weather this week in Eastern Washington is a multi-million dollar gift. It will make many a winemakers' dream come true."
Five Under $15 - September
In tough times, we continue the search for good, inexpensive wines.
Chinook Wines is named after the Chinook winds in the Pacific Northwest. The winery is located in Prosser. Husband and wife team Clay Mackey and Kay Simon are the nucleus of the winery with Mackey doing the viticulture and Simon making the wines. Both University of California Davis graduates, their paths didn't cross until they both took positions at Chateau Ste. Michelle. Chinook Wines was started in 1983. The couple released their first wines a year later, two days prior to their wedding.
Update on the Great Grape Caper
Earlier today I posted about the grape theft at Grand Reve Vineyard. Below is some additional information courtesy of Grand Reve co-owner Paul McBride.
McBride says the fruit was stolen some time between September 15th and 21st. Winemaker James Mantone, of Syncline Wine Cellars, discovered the theft while inspecting the block. The theft was subsequently confirmed the next day by vineyard manager Ryan Johnson. The grapes were most likely stolen at night over the weekend. McBride estimates that it would take one person eight to nine hours to harvest the grapes. It would take a team of three about two to three hours.
Recently I wrote a Focus report on Grand Reve Vintners. In that post, I mentioned that the winery was looking forward to its first vintage of estate fruit this year. Wednesday evening the shocking news came across Twitter from vineyard manager Ryan Johnson that the winery's first vintage of mourvedre grapes had been stolen (the picture here was tweeted by Johnson showing the vines stripped of their grapes).

Washington 2010 Harvest Update - September 22nd
Reminder: September's Virtual Tasting is this Thursday from 7-8pm Pacific Time. Read more about it here.
The 2010 Harvest is underway in Washington State. Over the coming weeks, I will provide regular updates on what is picked, where, and when.
One of this week's updates comes from Jonathan Sauer at Red Willow and Les Vignes de Marcoux vineyards in the Yakima Valley. Red Willow, one of the state's finest vineyards, is the furthest western vineyard within the Yakima Valley. Sauer says that while the vineyard is not a particularly warm site, it is typically an early vineyard.
The beat goes on in 2010 for Washington wine
Reminder: September's Virtual Tasting takes place this Thursday from 7-8pm Pacific Time. Read more about it here.
2009 was a watershed year for the Washington wine industry. Amidst numerous high scores and accolades, there were three particularly significant accomplishments. Columbia Crest's 2005 Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon was named Wine Spectator's 'Wine of the Year;' Charles Smith's 2006 Royal City Syrah received a perfect 100-point score from Wine Enthusiast; and Charles Smith was named Food & Wine Magazine's 'Winemaker of the Year.' With three months to go until the end of the year, 2010 is shaping up to be an equally notable year for Washington State and its winemakers.

Washington Wine Round-up September 8th to 14th
A round-up of stories on Washington wine from September 8th to 14th. Please add any I missed to the comments section. See previous round-ups here.
From around the country…
Wines & Vines writes about the Washington Wine Commission's campaign to increase local wine consumption.
Annapolis' The Capital writes about merlot with a callout to Columbia Crest and Chateau Ste. Michelle
Enter the Dragon – As China's economy grows, Washington wineries come courting
Two headlines interwove late last month. The first was an Associated Press story about Northwest wineries working to expand their presence in the Chinese market. The second was the report of China becoming the world's second largest economy. Can Washington wineries get a lift from China, especially in difficult economic times? Here is why they must, if not now, then soon.
Old? Perhaps. Boring? Far from it - Walla Walla Vintners
The story of Walla Walla Vintners begins in 1981. Gordy Venneri, a Certified Public Accountant, was teaching business at Walla Walla Community College. It was there that he met and became close friends with Myles Anderson.
Venneri had taken the job at the community college partly to take summers off. That year, he decided to use the time to travel, going to Italy, Spain, and Africa. Along the way he enjoyed the long, languorous meals that much of the Old World is known for (compare this experience to American fast food to get a sense of just how different the cultures are). Venerri says, "We had eight o'clock to midnight dinners. That's how I got into wine."
Standing in front of the mirror naked with Maison Bleue
I have a saying about the difference between red wine and white wine. Red wine is like standing in front of a mirror in a thousand dollar suit. White wine is like standing in front of a mirror naked.
Whereas red wine can be dressed up in fancy – and expensive – new oak that can add accents and hide imperfections, doing the same with white wine tends to be unforgiving. Use too much oak and the fruit gets clobbered. Don't use any oak and imperfections get exposed. With white wine, if the grapes aren't just right and the winemaking isn't completely sound, it shows. Many a winemaker excels at red wines but falls short on whites. It takes a skilled hand to make extremely high quality white wines. It takes an even more skilled winemaker to excel at both.
Otis Kenyon Wine - A winery started by force
Some wineries are started organically with winemakers evolving from home winemaking to starting a commercial venture. Some wineries, however, are started by force. This is is one such winery's story.
Stephen Otis Kenyon and his wife Deborah Dunbar became interested in winemaking many years ago when they lived in Chateauneuf du Pape. Since that time, Kenyon, who is a native of Walla Walla, had watched the local wine industry grow and had even taken a few classes at Walla Walla Community College's Center for Enology and Viticulture. But he had not taken the plunge.

The Perfect Storm – Does Washington's 2010 vintage have time to recover?
After a number of near perfect vintages the past decade, Washington is in the midst of a vintage that is far from it. In many respects it started with the frost last October, which put a punctuation mark on that year's harvest. Since that time the weather has ranged from unusually warm to unusually cool leading to delays in ripening. At present growers across Washington State are significantly behind schedule. One week into September, is there still time to recover?
Food & Wine Magazine's 'Best New Winery in America' - An interview with Greg Harrington of Gramercy Cellars
When last we saw rocket ship Gramercy Cellars, I reported that the winery had left the earth's gravitational pull. Today Gramercy hits the warp speed button with an announcement of an award from Food & Wine Magazine as the 'Best New Winery in America.'
I had a chance to talk to Commander Greg Harrington of Gramercy Cellars via a satellite link shortly before he and his wife Pam blasted off into the cosmos. Below, we discuss Washington's recent increase in recognition, the low alcohol movement, the state of syrah in Washington and around the world, and viral videos.
Reynvaan Family Vineyards - The exhilaration of drinking wine
Reynvaan Family Vineyards is nestled up against the Blue Mountains. The winery is located next to one of the family's estate vineyards, Foothills in the Sun, with the family home a short walk away.
Two things strike me each time I drive out to Reynvaan. The first is the incredible scenic beauty of the area. I now double my estimation of the time it takes to get to the winery to allow for sufficient time to stop and take pictures (NB: Make sure to travel with patient compatriots; click on the pictures here for larger images). You literally feel like you are about to drive up and over the Blue Mountains as you get closer and closer to the winery. The second thing I am struck by is that I always feel lost. You keep going and going and going. The road narrows then turns to dirt. Is this right? And then you're there.

Photographer's Note
Take a few steps back and than look:
Eucalyptus trees reflection over the rippled water surface, taken on a bright morning along the Yarkon river.
Some Eucalyptus trees grow up to 45m high, and brought to Israel by the Australian army in 1918 with General Allenby British troops, and planted over many locations in the country on known marshlands and rivers.

Hello Ike.
Great shot with beautifull reflections, you're right it looks better from a distance, well done.
Regards Robert.
pierrefonds (93053) 2013-12-28 5:30
Hi Ike,
The reflections on the water are assets to the composition. The point of view is showing the détails and colors of the tree on the water. The good luminosity is enhancing the colors. Have a nice day.
photoray (13981) 2013-12-28 5:36
Howdy Ike,
From your thumbnail I thought the image was an aerial view of land and rivers. Pleasant surprise to discover your Nature's mirror of Eucalyptus wavering in the blue water.
I am a big fan of Eucalyptus trees since growing up in Whittier, Calif, our parks had many of these guys. And now I have them in my yard and enjoy not only their appearance but also their fragrances and attraction to birds. They are not native to California but as immigrants do very well in our environment.
Warm regards,

a beautiful reflection, with colours and motion all over the frame. I like very much this description, that is playful and faithful at the same time. There's an agreeable vibrancy, the light and the colours are bright and cheerful. Congratulations and thank you for this photo as well as for the impressive work you've done on TE! Your description of your city, your travels, pictures, notes and comments mean a lot to me and to a lot of other members, I'm sure!

Hi dear Ike
Looking at this lovely tree reflection always makes me think of home. The soft colours and blue sky are unmistakable and yet this Aussie tree ends up in Israel, brought here by our troops. A very artistic, original composition. I love the distorted reflections. Happy New Year to you dear friend and happy 1000th photo here on TE, what an achievement.
Warmest wishes
ChrisJ (151748) 2013-12-31 6:37
Hello Ike,
You are making me homesick! The eucalyptus trees are native to Australia but are popular all around the world. I have also seen them in Vietnam, Thailand and Greece. Effective tight framing here with good sharpness and superb reflections. A safe and happy New Year to you and you family!
adramad (62434) 2013-12-31 9:40
Hello Ike.
Wonderful shapes and colors, these beautiful reflections that create a single image, with a fantastic graphics and an appearance like a modern painting.

Hi Ike,
though a bit late, I want to congratulate you for the reached milestone of 1000 published photos.
And I like this creative composition, where you have played skilfully with the abstract effect of the reflections of the tree on the water, in a powerful and colorful image.
A great work.
Best regards,
I wish you a happy and healthy New Year!
Kielia (24077) 2014-01-09 8:19

Hi Ike,
Trust you are well, you know I can not resist a reflection. Great one here and one of my favourite tree Eucalyptus,(I used to suck the leaves when I was boy so my mother did nor smell I had been smoking, they even grow well in England).
Love the colours and the distorted grey bark. Well managed and presented.

Hello Ike,
A fascinating reflection of the gum tree. Great effect with the ripples creating a blur in some areas, whereas other parts of the reflection retaining clarity. Strong light works well here. Congratulations, I really like this image!
All the best,

Hello Ike! Very sophisticated art work. Amazing colours. Fine contrast. Superb effect. Splendid work. Well done!
No_One (4) 2015-11-21 10:38
Hi Ike
This is like a photo of a dream the way the colors blend and fuse together is beautiful and so unusual. The tone of blue in particular from the sky, it seems almost electric, or perhaps that s the effect of it being amongst the subtle greens. Beautifully seen.
Best wishes
PaulVDV (49014) 2019-08-26 11:22
Hello Ike,
Fairly abstract reflections and yet the eucaliptus trees are recognizable as such.
The blue sky that is reflected everywhere in between makes the photo very attractive.
Best regards, Paul
PiotrF (41922) 2019-10-01 15:33
Hello Ike.
Great picture with beautiful reflections.

How to Use the Context
Inquiry Question
John Winthrop, Jr., son of the colony's governor, was particularly interested in developing an iron industry in Massachusetts. Educated at Trinity College in Dublin, Ireland, Winthrop had studied law and read widely in the sciences. He experimented in alchemy (an attempt to turn base metals into gold), medicine, and metallurgy. In 1641 he sailed to England to seek investors in a plan to start an ironworks in America. By 1643 Winthrop had found about two dozen men willing to invest in a "Company of Undertakers of the Iron Works in New England." Returning to the Massachusetts Bay Colony that year with a necessary team of skilled workmen, Winthrop established an ironworks along the Saugus River that operated from 1646 to 1668. In effect, he created the foundation for the American iron industry.
Some 300 years later, in 1948, the site where this ironworks had been established was excavated under the direction of archeologist Roland Wells Robbins. He and his crew found foundations of the buildings, remains of the holding ponds and the canal, half of the original blast furnace waterwheel and wheel pit, and more than 5,000 artifacts ranging from a 500-pound hammerhead to brass pins. As a result of the archeological evidence and historical documents that were found, the American Iron and Steel Institute decided to fund a reconstruction of the ironworks. The reconstructed site, based partly on conjecture, opened to the public in 1954. In 1968 the site became a unit of the National Park Service.

Lisa Molyneux
Cool Summer Swamp
Oil on Canvas
16 x 20 inches
Signed Lower Right
Lisa Molyneux was born and raised in Albany New York, spending every summer in Ontario, Canada. She knew from an early age that her life would revolve around making art. She attended the State University of New York at Geneseo and received Bachelor degrees in Art and Theater. During her last semester at SUNY, she was struck by a drunk driver and lost one of her legs. She spent almost a year in a hospital in Rochester, New York. This physical setback led to the decision to further her theater education at the Ohio State University and to complete a Master of Fine Arts degree in theater design. During this time she studied both costume design and set design. She was eventually able to walk again.
After finishing the three year program, she pursued a career as a designer, mostly designing costumes, for several theaters in the Midwest. While doing design work she realized that she was missing scene painting. She has, for the last 22 years been painting scenery for the Cincinnati Playhouse in the Park. Several years into this career she began creating her own oil paintings at home. She eventually decide to devote herself full-time to art.
Lisa's work varies in style and as the "Muse" strikes her, she may paint in either a realistic, impressionistic or abstract manner. Her subject manner is primarily swamps, bogs and different kinds of wetlands. She creates drama in each painting by using light, texture and color palette. Her paintings change as the daylight changesin the room where her paintings hang, this is by design, she has used warm and cool glazes to enhance the effect of light. She approaches each painting as if it were a stage setting, one that the viewer wants to enter, wearing rubber boots.

This looks like the kind of jam that only the legendary MacGyver could pull himself out of. Actually MacGyver, some duct tape and a team of lawyers.
An explosive fight has broken out between the creator of the original "MacGyver" television series and the producers of the Saturday Night Live-inspired parody "MacGruber" which is headed to the big screen this April.
Seems that "MacGruber" is not alone with its big screen ambitions, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Lee Zlotoff, who created the original pop-iconic ABC series about the science-wily secret agent with the ability to escape every jam, retained the rights to make a movie based on the show. He's part of a team working with New Line in developing an actual "MacGyver" movie.
Zlotoff's attorney is sending cease-and-desist letters to Relativity Media, the company making the "MacGruber" film with SNL star Will Forte.
"We feel they're infringing our rights," Zlotoff's lawyer told THR. Indeed, it is going to be hard to say there is not a "MacGyver" connection here. Richard Dean Anderson, the original MacGyver, even played along with the skit during its SNL days when the bomb-defusing homage was still a laughing matter.

The 2015 Chocolate Easter Egg Display at Disney's Grand Floridian Resort isn't the only sure sign of spring around here these days! Easter treats have been "hopping" up everywhere around Disney World Resort to celebrate this weekend's holiday — not to mention the remainder of the Spring Break season through the end of next week.

At Epcot, a Chocolate Cupcake with marshmallow filling and marshmallow buttercream frosting can be found at Fountain View from now through April 11th, and at Sunshine Seasons for a very limited run on April 4th and 5th.

While there, be sure to check out the Contemporary Resort's display of Chocolate Bunnies and decorated Easter Eggs presented by the Resort's pastry chefs on the fourth floor!

You've already crossed off the capital's major sights, shops, museums and restaurants on previous visits, and you're up for discovering something new. Our 48-hour guide uncovers the lesser-known corners of the capital, with tips for avoiding the crowds and secret alternatives to the usual tourist haunts – ensuring you'll have a truly curious London weekend.
Evening - Make your escape
British Airways operates daily, worldwide flights to three of London's major airports – Heathrow, Gatwick and London City – so you're bound to a find a flight time that suits you.
If you're flying into London City Airport, you'll get spectacular aerial views of the capital, especially the burgeoning development East along the Thames corridor.

Product Endorsement Policy for the Blue Skunk and my presentations
- I will not endorse or mention a product (at least without a heavy-duty disclaimer) which I don't have experience using in our district. This is important. While the product itself might look very cool, it's only through experience that one learns about little things like support, compatibility, bug fixes, situational customizations, and unintended consequences of use.
- I will not accept any form of remuneration for reviewing or writing about a product. (Exception listed below.) This includes trips, gifts, cash, cars, call girls or dictatorships of small countries. Not that any of these things have actually been offered to me.
- I don't take paid advertising on my blog or website.
- I don't accept unsolicited guest blogs from commercial enterprises.
- I don't wear t-shirts, baseball caps, or underwear with corporate logos. (I do have a hip flask with the ALA logo on it, however.)
- I do write "blurbs" for books and/or products that I've actually read or used and liked.
- My recommendations are my personal recommendations - not the school district's.
I suppose there are other guidelines I should set for myself. That readers trust my objectivity is important to me.
Now there is one big caveat to all of this. If the price were right, I would probably say just about anything. I am thinking $100K would pay off the mortgage, allow me to fill up both family motor vehicles at the same time, and get the LWW that new garbage disposal she's been pining for. Cool.
There is an old joke about a man who approaches a woman in a bar and offers her a staggering amount of money if she will sleep with him. She accepts. Then the man offers her five dollars if she will sleep with him. The woman responds, "Just what kind of a woman do you think I am?" The man responds, "I think we both know that. We're just negotiating the price."
I suspect it's good for my professional reputation I work in education where the profit margin is so small that the temptations just aren't that tempting...

ORLANDO – Fortunately, Jeremy Lin's first press conference at NBA All-Star Weekend included a question about Jeremy Lin having any sort of press conference, period, at All-Star Weekend.
Even though it had only been three weeks since Lin "blew up" as the NBA's biggest story – underdog Asian-American kid from Harvard coming off the bench to revive one of the league's marquee franchises in America's media capital – the frenzy had become the new normal for many.
Oh, of course Lin would be on the cover of Sports Illustrated (again). Oh, of course he would outsell every NBA All-Star in replica jerseys. Oh, of course he would have his very own press conference in an interview room that went SRO 10 minutes before he arrived.
Screeeeech! Someone finally stopped the Linsanity and asked Lin – who never asked for any of the hype or mania surrounding him – if he could appreciate how surreal this was. From sleeping on his brother's couch a few weeks ago to a private audience with a global sporting press, beyond what the actual All-Stars were getting.
"Oh, absolutely," the second-year point guard said. "Just any press conference of my own in general, let alone All-Star Weekend. Just to be here and to see the company and all the players that are here is just – it's been unbelievable, and I'm just trying to take it all in and embrace it and enjoy it every step of the way."
The legend of Jeremy Lin is pretty well known by now: Undrafted out of Harvard. Signed by Golden State as a free agent in July 2010. Modest rookie season with the Warriors (2.6 ppg, 1.4 apg in 9.8 mpg). Cut in December 2011. Picked up and quickly dumped by Houston. Signed by New York two days after Christmas but barely used through nine appearances, averaging about six minutes, across five weeks.
Then – kaboom! – Lin scores 25 points off the bench against New Jersey. Twenty-eight vs. Utah. Twenty-three with 10 assists at Washington, 38 against the Lakers … and the Knicks win nine of 10 games. He becomes the NBA's flavor of the month and beyond, a wholly unexpected, happy story in an odd post-lockout season. A downright phenomenon that – even after losses to the Nets and the Heat in recent days (and an ugly stats line vs. Miami of eight points, eight turnovers and 1-of-11 shooting) – shows little sign of abating.
Though Lin expects it to soon.
"Hopefully as the season progresses, it will go from [Linsanity] to 'New York Knicks,' " he said. "We can make a good push after the All-Star break and people will start talking about the Knicks and not necessarily me." New York is 17-18, at No. 7 in the East and chasing a second consecutive playoff berth after a six-year drought.
Lin shared some other tidbits with the inquiring minds Friday, in the hours before he played in the Rising Stars game at Amway Center.
– Landry Fields, Carmelo Anthony, Tyson Chandler and Jared Jeffries have been the New York teammates who have been most supportive and helpful as he has learned, and been tested by, the league.
– Had Knicks guard Iman Shumpert not gotten hurt and dropped out of Saturday's Slam Dunk contest, Lin might have participated with a replica of his famous couch: "Landry was going to roll a couch out with a cover over it, I was going to be sleeping underneath it and then we were going to pull the cover. I was going to throw to Iman an alley-oop from the couch. And he was going to jump over both me and the couch, windmill it and then sit down and have Landry hand him a Sprite."
– He hasn't splurged on any purchase. "I'm still a minimum [salary] guy. That hasn't changed."
– His job security was precarious enough in January that he said a prayer in pregame chapel in Miami, as the date for guaranteeing contracts (or dumping those without them) approached.
– Yet he never had a solid Plan B in his back pocket, in the event New York did cut him. "Obviously I was thinking about three main options: overseas, D-League or to just take a break or give up basketball for a while," Lin said. "I was just trying not to think about it, basically."
– Lin met head-on a question about his ethnicity and whether it worked against him with NBA scouts. "I think it has something to do with it," he said. "But I think just being Asian-American, obviously when you look at me, I'm gong to have to prove myself more so, again and again and again, and some people may not believe it.
"I know a lot of people say I'm 'deceptively athletic' and 'deceptively quick,' and I'm not sure what's deceptive. But it could be the fact that I'm Asian-American. But I think that's fine. It's something that I embrace, and it gives me a chip on my shoulder. But I'm very proud to be Asian-American and I love it."
