The effects of previous meniscus and anterior cruciate ligament injuries in patients with total knee arthroplasty

Patients undergoing total knee replacements constitute a suitable population to study the natural history of traumatic joint injuries.
Material and Methods
We studied all the patients who received a TKA (Total knee arthroplasty) over the course of one year, in five different centers. The study included 474 patients who had undergone primary TKA for knee OA over a one-year period. In each patient, we analyzed age, sex, side of operation, weight, height and body mass index (BMI, kg/m2). BMI were stratified into four groups according to the WHO classification: normal (<25), overweight (>25 and <30), obese (>30 and <40), and morbidly obese (>40).
In the TKA group, 74% of the patients were women, while in the THA group the percentage of men and women was similar. No differences were found in the sides operated on. Differences between both groups were found in knee alignment. Women were operated on more frequently for TKA, as there was a higher incidence of OA of the knee joints in women aged over 65.
Patients who required a total knee arthroplasty are likely to have previously undergone surgery or trauma to the knee joints.

Wolfberries are the subject of today's post. Fresh ones. I'm probably way ahead of the curve here, as outside of my few secret sources, I've only seen them on our shores dried, when they are uniformly referred to as "goji berries."
However, goji is their Japanese name, and since they are actually grown in China, it seems only fair that they should be more properly referred to as gǒuqǐ 枸杞. Raised mainly in the desert province of Ningxia Hui up near Mongolia and out in Xinjiang near the western borderlands with Central Asia, gouqi are regarded as veritable elixirs of good health in Chinese medicine and are often combined with other herbal ingredients to provide a touch of sweetness and flavor to the mix.
|Extravagantly decorated waffle
|Chiaying & her berries
So, what to do until that fine day when we can at the very least hunt them down in a farmer's market?
Well, they are easy to grow if you live in a relatively dry area and if you can get ahold of cuttings from a friend. (Yet another great reason to have lots of Chinese friends, as if you needed another excuse.)
|Chiaying's hubby hard at work
To make your very own gouqi plantation, just strip the leaves off of the base of some 2-inch stems with a few leaves left growing on the top, stick them into some rooting medium like Perlite or a loose potting soil, keep them watered, and soon you'll have a whole bunch of these fabulous plants. If you have the patience, you can also try growing them from seed - I'd suggest soaking a couple of the little fruits in warm water (preferably organic and nicely soft, so that they are of the best quality) until plump, and then you can carefully squeeze or scoop out the seedy pulp. You might even want to chill the dried seeds for a couple of months in the refrigerator to help fool them into thinking that winter has come and gone, and then sow them in light potting soil once the weather warms.
Little purple blossoms of Lycium barbarum cover the branches before they set fruit, so there's this gorgeous progression of colors. The thin leaves drop off in winter, which is an excellent time to trim them up a bit so that they bush out with abandon in spring. Pot up the trimmings and make more plants and friends that way - at least, that's my suggestion.
Do note that there is another type of wolfberry that you can get in Chinese grocery stores from summer up until frost: One with a wider leaf that is grown mainly for its tender leaves (gǒuqǐyè 枸杞葉, or Lycium chinense), although I've heard that its fruits can be just as good as L. barbarum. Of course, there's absolutely nothing stopping you from rooting these stems, and nothing gets wasted that way, either.
|Stem as needed, rinse, & eat
To prepare fresh wolfberries, simply pull off any stems still sticking into the fruit, rinse in a colander, and shake dry. If you plan to hold the little fruits for a day or two in the fridge, then store them dry in a plastic bag, as water will make them rot faster.
Wolfberries can be used much like any other fragile, ripe berry, but keep in mind that they are not as sharply sweet as, say, raspberries or blackberries, nor as highly flavorful as tomatoes. That - and their tiny seeds - is why they never appear in pies or get turned into sauces. Instead, the traditional Chinese way of cooking them is limited to adding the ripe fruits to austere stir-fries, especially things like celery, lily bulbs, and wolfberry leaves, where they won't be overwhelmed by other flavors and textures.
That being said, 99% of the time you are only going to be able to get your hands on the dried berries. But keep your eyes out for Chinese friends with prolific wolfberry patches growing in their back yards. Ask for a taste of those fresh gouqi fruits and then get a couple of cuttings. Growing impossible-to-find produce is one of the best reasons to have a yard, in my personal opinion!
Alas, until you have your own stellar crop waiting for you on the counter, you'll have to settle for dried berries, which really are quite tasty, of course. Here's a good way to turn those dried fruits into a tonic that is fabulous either hot or cold.
Wolfberry and chrysanthemum tea
Júhuā gǒuqǐ chá 菊花枸杞茶
All over China
Makes 1 pot
2 tablespoons dried wolfberries
3 to 4 tablespoons Hangzhou dried chrysanthemums (see next week's post)
Boiling water, as needed
Honey to taste, optional
|Your ingredients
2. Fill the pot with water that has come to a full boil and then rested for about 5 minutes, which will reduce the temperature a bit and so help preserve the flavors. Cover the pot and let the two ingredients seep for another 5 minutes or so, until the berries and flowers are plump. Add honey to taste, if you like. You can add water to the pot probably one more time before the flavor peters out.
Do note that you can adjust the ratios of the berries and blossoms here as you like. Or, just leave out one or the other. It will taste good no matter what you do.

With Raiders head coach Dennis Allen in Texas this week to be with his ailing father, offensive coordinator Greg Knapp and defensive coordinator Jason Tarver met with the media Monday.
For the team's fans, it was a chance to see and hear two of their favorite targets talk about what went wrong in the loss to the Browns Sunday, and the challenges that face the 3-9 team as it prepares for a quick-turnaround game against the newly crowned AFC West-champion Broncos (9-3) Thursday night at O.co Coliseum.
Knapp, after all, has been criticized by fans and media since the start of the season for his play-calling and the ineffectiveness of the zone-blocking scheme that hasn't consistently opened holes for Darren McFadden and other running backs. Tarver is the coordinator of one of the worst defensive units in the NFL.
As the Raiders have sunk in the standings this season, speculation has risen about whether they can survive for next season.
The Raiders are 28th in the league in yards allowed per game (387) and last in the league in scoring defense, giving up 31.3 points per game.
On Sunday, in a 20-17 loss to Cleveland, the previously struggling Browns offense put up 475 yards.
And, as Vic Tafur of the San Francisco Chronicle noted, the Raiders have allowed 59 plays of 20 yards or more, including eight by the Browns.
Wrote Tafur: "When they haven't blown assignments or plugged the wrong gap, they have demonstrated some clumsy tackling attempts that look like an old black-and-white Keystone Kops movie."
Speaking to reporters, Tarver said the Raiders "played with passion," but "that doesn't mean we were correct all the time."
Now, the Raiders will have the task of slowing down the Broncos, who tore them apart earlier this season 37-6 in Denver.
"You're never really ready for Peyton Manning," Tarver said. "It's a matter of getting on the same page and having enough coverage looks to, hopefully, slow down his progression and challenging guys in coverage. That's what we need to do."
Making the task even more difficult will be the concussions suffered by safeties Matt Giordano and Mike Mitchell and cornerback Phillip Adams against the Browns. None of the three may be able to be cleared in time for Thursday's game.
On offense, it's expected that both McFadden and backup Mike Goodson will be able to play against Denver after missing several games because of ankle sprains.
This season, because of the lack of a consistent running game, the Raiders have been mostly a one-dimensional offense, relying on the passing of quarterback Carson Palmer.
Palmer is seventh in the league in passing yards, with 3,532 (294.3 yards per game), and has 20 TD passes vs. 13 interceptions.
Knapp said on Monday that he expects the Raiders to play hard against Denver – just as they did on their last TD drive against the Browns on Sunday. Even though the Raiders won't be going to the playoffs this season, Knapp expects maximum effort.
"The true competitor comes out and they want to perform at a high level at all times," Knapp said.
Both coordinators said they will stay in contact with Allen this week, who is expected to return in time to coach Thursday night's game.

Cook books are the things I love to read the most. They inspire and challenge me.
Patissierie is one such book. You would be forgiven for thinking that this book is not for the home baker, but it is. It will challenge you to take yourself out of your comfort zone and inspire you to make something different. It will make you think about taste, flavours and presentation.
With gorgeous pictures and step by step guides, all you need do is read through the recipe carefully, get all your ingredients together and create something special.
Being a lover of all things cake, Clandestine Cake Club being my passion ATM, and with me in the midst of writing a new CCC Cook Book ( read more about it here) I decided to bake the Chestnut and Rum Cake on page 328.
The first step was to make the Apricot Nappage on page 104. Note to self, buy a good quality digital scales that primarily deals with smaller qualities of grams. I added too much Pectin and as a result, the Nappage resembled a quince Jelly. Still nice, but after leaving in the fridge to set, it needed a little water to soften before adding the glaze to the finished cake.
Next I made the Apricot Liqueur Syrup on page 102, I didn't have enough Rum so I carried on with the Apricot theme and used Apricot Liqueur. This recipe made enough syrup to save for other cakes. I suggest you start to creating your own syrups, they are easy to make and are perfect for dousing cakes with additional and complementary flavours which help add moisture to your sponge. Get yourself some nice bottles and start syruping.
I didn't have the correct tin sizes, but the recipe worked beautifully in 2 x 1lb loaf tins. They had a good rise, the sponge texture was terrific and moist and the taste was divine with the Ground Almonds, not too sweet. It balanced nicely with the Alcoholic Apricot glaze and Nappage as a topping. It was delicious. We ate one cake and froze the other. I have a glut of cakes in the freezer ATM, with all the recipe testing I am doing for the next book.

Innovative use of Wiimote.
Repetitive, potentially painful joystick motions. Uninteresting take on the genre.
Bottom Line
A creative approach to the Wiimote isn't enough to save this game from being a tired rehash on the Mario Kart series.
For a few years now, Nintendo has used its Donkey Kong franchise to explore new avenues of gameplay. The GBA's Jungle Climber, GameCube's Donkey Konga, and Mario vs. Donkey Kong 2 for the DS all took unique approaches to traditional gameplay. Originally designed for use with the GameCube's DK Bongo controllers, Barrel Blast offers a unique take on the traditional Mario Kart racing game, using rapid shaking motions of the Wiimote and nunchucks to propel the cast of characters across the track. Unfortunately, it's not unique enough to set the title apart from countless racing clones, and the constant shaking motion will likely wear on players' wrists after the first round or so. This is the stuff of carpal tunnel.
For more on this game, see 1Up.com's review of Donkey Kong: Barrel Blast.

Elder Scrolls Online Hits Consoles June 9
The wait is almost over for Elder Scrolls fans (sort of): Bethesda today announced the next installment will hit consoles on June 9.
Available this summer for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, The Elder Scrolls Online: Tamriel Unlimited comes with familiar PC gameplay, plus new contentall without a monthly game subscription fee.
Returning players will be invited back into the world of ESO with open arms. Newbies, however, will be asked to make a one-time $20 purchase of the game, before continuing on without restrictions.
"We have made numerous changes to the game over the past year, and are confident this is a game that Elder Scrolls fans will love to play," game director Matt Firor said in a statement.
Can't wait until June to begin new adventures? PC and Mac users will gain access to Tamriel Unlimited on March 17, with optional downloadable content and the new Crown Store.
Sure, there's no subscription fee, but Bethesda earns its keep with a monthly charge for a premium ESO Plus membership. Sign up to receive monthly in-game benefits and an allotment of crowns to spend in the store.
"Players can explore Tamriel with friends, battle creates, craft, fish, steal, or siege. The choice is theirs," Firor said.
Bethesda Softworks in May 2012 announced plans to move The Elder Scrolls online in a massively multiplayer online (MMO) version of the popular franchise; it hit PCs and Macs in 2013.
Last summer, ZeniMax and Bethesda revealed that ESO needed another six months of work before hitting next-gen consoles.
Now, more than six months later, fans found out they will have to wait, well, another five months.
"We can't wait for everyone, whether they've played before or will be experiencing it for the first time, to begin adventuring," Firor said.
Check out the video above for the final installment in Bethesda's four-part series of cinematic trailers.

"After analyzing jazz centers across the country and years of planning, we are primed to deliver a world class experience for fans of all ages to experience and study jazz," said Gene Dobbs Bradford, Executive Director of Jazz St. Louis. "We're confident this redesign will place St. Louis among the top five jazz hubs in the world."
The project became a reality as a result of leadership gifts by David & Thelma Steward, John & Alison Ferring, Centene Corporation, Ken & Nancy Kranzberg, Emerson, the Jazz St. Louis Board of Directors, and other jazz patrons in excess of $5.8 million. The remaining $4 million will be raised during the public phase of the capital campaign. The funds will be used to build a top-tier jazz facility after the purchase of two buildings in Grand Center: Jazz at the Bistro – which until now was leased by Jazz St. Louis – and the former Greenberg Van Doren Gallery Building. Jazz St. Louis has allocated $6 million for improvements, including:
State-of-the-art jazz club with seating for 220 (currently 150);
Jazz Lounge with seating for up to 75 and featuring a jazz video wall;
Jazz education and practice space featuring six soundproof, individual and small group practice rooms and two large rehearsal studios;
Recording and live streaming to share performances with an audience of jazz enthusiasts across the globe.
St. Louis-based contractors secured include Lawrence Group (architecture), Jamieson Design (interior design) and BSI Constructors (construction). World-renowned acoustician, Sam Berkow, will ensure these new facilities are optimized for live sound. He is responsible for the sound and/or acoustical design of some of the top performing and recording spaces worldwide, namely:
Jazz at Lincoln Center, New York;
SFJazz Center, San Francisco;
NYU Clive Davis Department of Recorded Music, New York;
The Pearl at the Palms Concert Hall, Las Vegas.
Jazz St. Louis' new and expanded facilities will be The Harold and Dorothy Steward Center for Jazz, housing the brand new Centene Jazz Education Center and the completely redesigned and renovated Ferring Jazz Bistro, home of the Jazz at the Bistro concert series.
"My parents, Harold and Dorothy Steward, were passionate advocates of arts and education," said Dave Steward. "My wife, Thelma, and I are eternally grateful that the new facilities will represent their legacy and incorporate an educational pillar to enrich the jazz community."
The construction commenced on June 2 and is expected to be complete by October. Jazz St. Louis has booked Wynton Marsalis—a national recording artist, trumpeter, composer and educator – and his Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra as the inaugural concert during the grand opening in October. Marsalis is a nine-time Grammy winner and one of his jazz recordings has received the Pulitzer Prize for Music.
About Jazz St. Louis
Jazz St. Louis advances the uniquely American art of jazz through live performance, education, and outreach. Each year, this non-profit organization presents over 270 performances in its internationally-acclaimed Jazz at the Bistro concert series. Jazz St. Louis takes a three-pronged approach to its work: presenting jazz, encouraging and educating future audiences, and nurturing budding musicians.

Naomi Campbell wants to have a baby and insists she doesn't need a partner to help her raise a family.
Naomi Campbell wants to have a baby.
The 43-year-old supermodel - who split from longterm boyfriend Vladimir Doronin last year - would love to have a family and insists she doesn't need a partner to raise a child.
Speaking to Diane Von Furstenberg during a SiriusXM Radio Town Hall show in New York yesterday (11.03.14), she said: ''I do want to have children, whether I have a man or not. I will have it on my own.''
The 'Face' star has long been a campaigner for ethnic diversity in the modelling industry, and though she believes there has been ''progress'', she worries the use of non-white models could just be a ''trend''.
She said: ''We are definitely making progress on the ad campaigns. We do not want it to be a trend, we want it to be consistent... I also don't want to see them put us in a line in the show, like we're an act together, and it's done... That's also not very creative.''
And the British beauty also insisted the fashion industry is not responsible for models suffering from eating disorders, arguing people need to be ''responsible'' for their own actions.
She said: ''You cannot blame our industry for the body type of women. The food issue is a really sensitive subject for me, and it makes me nervous to really talk about it because I've never seen a designer in my whole 28 years say to someone, 'Go on a diet, lose weight.'
''You have to be responsible for your own actions. So if you decide you don't want to eat because you feel like you have to be like this, that's all up to you.''
After nearly thirty years since his first solo record Mark Lanegan has just released one of his very best and there's not many artists who can claim...

Like MLB scouts, IT security pros are turning to metrics
Security pros are beginning to use metrics to measure the effectiveness of security technologies and strengthen budget requests, but those measurements are still being inhibited, some experts say.
For decades, the process of scouting and evaluating prospective Major League Baseball players has been the domain of scouts, most of whom are former minor league players themselves who have spent their lives in and around the game. They spend months every year traveling from town to town, watching dozens of high school and college players in hundreds of games over thousands of innings. They keep detailed logs of each player's strengths and weaknesses, note his tendencies in specific situations and talk to coaches, teammates and teachers about whether he has any off-field problems.
And in the end, the decisions on which players teams will draft and enrich with multi-million dollar signing bonuses comes down to nothing more scientific than pure instinct. Scouts recommend players based on how they look, how a pitcher's fastball sounds as it hits the catcher's mitt, how the ball looks coming off a hitter's bat or how a player looks in his uniform. That kid just looks like a player, they'll say.
This approach has changed radically in the last few years as Ivy League graduates have taken over the front offices of many Major League teams, applying standard scientific and statistical analysis methods to the evaluation of players, rather than relying on fuzzy standards like look and feel.
Until very recently, the same approach followed by baseball lifers has been the go-to method for information security practitioners, as well. Security has been virtually the only discipline within IT to be stubbornly resistant to empirical measurement and analysis. The practice of security has been focused almost exclusively on technology and how the next new box can prevent the latest new attack. Security vendors have spent the last 15 years trying to convince IT managers and security practitioners that their product is the one that finally will solve all of the customer's security problems, but please don't look over here behind the curtain, sir. As a result, the customers can end up spending tens of thousands of dollars on products about which they know very little.
But now a small, but rapidly expanding, group of security experts, researchers, analysts and practitioners is working to change the way enterprises, governments and other organizations approach, apply and measure security. These rebels subscribe to the belief that the value and efficacy of security can—and should—be measured. And, more importantly, they believe that the entire practice of security should be approached scientifically, bringing in methods and thinking from other disciplines, including psychology and economics.
One of the chief proponents of this line of thinking is Adam Shostack, co-author, with Andrew Stewart, of an excellent new book on the topic, "The New School of Information Security." Shostack believes, as do many others, that one of the keys to improving the state of security is developing more and better data about security, including attacks and data breaches.
"We have this utter dearth of data and we've become so used to this that we don't even really realize it anymore," said Shostack. "It's understandable because you want to put attacks behind you, so people have developed this fear of sharing anything and that holds us back. We have to recognize that the data isn't being shared as widely as we'd like. Without data, we can't do the analysis. We have to start analyzing the reasons for that."
In their book, Shostack and Stewart expand upon that point, saying that the lack of data on security is preventing security practitioners from putting better analysis methods into practice and hampering their attempts to make informed decisions about strategy, architecture and policy.
"The search for objective data on information security is at the heart of the philosophy of the New School," they write. "Without objective data, we are unable to test our hypotheses. Since there is a drought of objective data today, how can we know that the conventional wisdom is the right thing to do? That is not to say that the conventional wisdom is necessarily incorrect, but as professionals we find it profoundly unsatisfying to not know the answer either way. Being unable to test hypotheses fundamentally inhibits our ability to improve."
|Dan Geer
That search for evidence, the kind of objective data that is available in virtually every other scientific field, is not an entirely new idea, but it's one that is gaining a lot of currency at the moment.
Dan Geer, who was trained as a biostatistician but has spent most of his professional life in the security industry, for years has advocated the use of hard data and cold analysis in the practice of security and he has come to the conclusion that the proliferation of security products, mixed with the lack of data from customers about security incidents has created an untenable situation.
"We've put so many products into these systems, that the complexity of the sum of the parts is part of the problem itself," he said during a speech at the Source Boston conference earlier this year.
The idea of applying the scientific method to the practice of security has been appearing in other places, as well, in various shapes and forms. Gary McGraw, chief technology officer of Cigital Inc., who has a dual Ph.D. in cognitive science and computer science, has been working in this vein for more than a decade, applying critical thinking and risk-management strategies to the problems of software security. He believes that the current shift in thinking is a logical step in the evolution of the security field.
|Gary McGraw
"I really believe that the research community spearheaded it. I mean the guys in academia, like Avi Rubin, Ed Felten and those guys," McGraw said. "It was right around the mid-1990s, when we were all working on the first problems with the Web. It was the wild west, and there was plenty of room for snake oil then and it's taken this long for people to get past that. Plus, it takes about 10 years for ideas to make their way out of academia. We learned that there was no such thing as perfection and that risk management was the way that real professionals went about it. Those ideas aren't earth-shattering, but for the average IT guy or sysadmin who doesn't have access to executives, they're new ideas."
Andrew Jaquith, an analyst with the Yankee Group and former security consultant with @stake, has been studying security metrics for years and runs the ultra-informative Security Metrics mailing list and a companion conference each summer. But as valuable as this work is, it is hampered by not just the unwillingness of enterprises and other organizations to share data on attacks, ROI and other measurements, but also by the uniqueness of each organization. Measurements and strategies that are valuable in one company may be completely useless to others.
"Metrics is a great idea, but nobody is making any breakthroughs yet," McGraw said. "Relative metrics are useful in specific organizations, but that's the metrics conundrum: they're most useful when they're context-sensitive."
How and when all of this will affect the daily work of IT security teams remains to be seen. But some of the core ideas, especially the emphasis on risk management, have begun to work their way into a number of organizations, primarily in the financial services sector. As the strategies and techniques are tested and refined over time, they will work their way out into the broader IT community, which can only be a good thing.
"Every discipline has challenges, but security professionals are not only opposed to trying some of these methods, the way we are engaged with the world inhibits it," Shostack said. "The secrecy holds us back. That has to change."

Pentagon Chicken (Serves 6)
The etymology of this recipe is, frankly, unknown to us. This recipe is a gift from the beloved mom of Archana who scribbled it down, long back, while watching a random cookery show. We love this recipe especially due to the fact that the final taste is so new and different in-spite of having the usual common ingredients. The timing of cooking and the addition of ingredients, we believe, might have a role in the development of the wonderful flavor and taste in this recipe. So why not try it for yourself....
Chicken (preferably boned pieces) 2 lbs, cut to med size pieces
Marinade for chicken
Red chilly powder 3 tbsp
Coriander powder 2 tsp
Turmeric ¼ tsp
Ground Pepper 1 tsp
Chaat masala 1 tsp (optional)
Lemon juice 1 tsp
Egg 1 no
Curd 2 tsp
Salt as needed
Preparing the marination
In a mixing bowl, make a marinade of all the above ingredients, add the cleaned and washed chicken pieces, mix well and marinate for 30 mnts at room temperature.
For the gravy
Onions 2 nos, sliced
Green chilly 4 nos, chopped
Cashew 8-10 nos
Ginger garlic paste 1tsp
Tomato sauce 3 tsp
Red chilly powder 1 tsp
Garam masala 1/2 tsp
Oil 3-4 TBSP
Salt as needed
In a deep bottomed wok, add the entire oil (3-4 TBSP) and when hot enough layer the chicken pieces evenly and close with a lid. Let the chicken gets cooked and fetch a reddish brown color. Turn the chicken in between for an even browning on all sides. This will take around 20-30 minutes. Drain the fried chicken and set aside.
Note:- Do not deep fry the chicken. It should be slowly cooked in oil with lid closed.
At medium to high heat, in the same oil, add the onions and sauté till golden brown. Next add in the green chillies, ginger garlic paste and sauté till raw smell goes off. Add the cashew nuts and sauté for a few more minutes. Add the red chilly powder, salt and garam masala. Mix well with onions and add the tomato sauce. Cook for 2 more minutes and add the chicken pieces, mix well to combine. Close the wok with a lid and allow the chicken to absorb the gravy in a medium flame for about 10 -15 mnts. Open and give a final mix. Serve hot with fried rice, chappathi….

Filed under: Uncategorized
(A note to the mom who feels like she doesn't measure up.)
It seem like the moment I became pregnant with my first child a seed of doubt was planted and forever grew in my mind.
Should I let my baby sleep next to us in our bedroom or over on the other side of the house in their own bedroom? Should I feed them vegetables first or just fruit? Should I hold them when they cried, or let them cry it out? I read books about parenting, talked endlessly with my husband, friends and older women about the right way to parent.
I watched other parents and their children, and no matter what the situation was, I always wondered. Was I doing the right thing for my child? Maybe I should change what I was doing. Was the way I was parenting going to ruin my child forever? Then I felt guilty for questioning myself. Now I was a bad mother for questioning and worrying!
Nine years later, I think I realize that this is the heart of a good mama. Or at least, that's what I tell myself.
I have felt guilty for years because my children often wake up and find me still resting in my bed. Even now, with older children, they still wake up to me in my bed, still in my pajamas. So many great mothers I know post on their Facebook, or their blog, about how the early-morning is the time they get to prepare for their day. They show beautiful pictures and tell sweet wonderful stories that I envy of how wonderful the morning hours are for them, and how they couldn't survive their day unless they got up early.
And every time I read a post like that, I question, whether I should adjust my schedule again and try, yet again to do the early-morning mama thing.
This morning, Jeremy's alarm went off very loudly and very early. I woke up, made my bed and got a few things done. Here's a picture just for the proof!
As I made my bed, however, I felt some regret. This morning I would not get the giggles and snuggles and hugs of three adorable children in my bed. I would miss out on relaxed sleepy conversations this morning when they woke up. I would very proactively and efficiently set them to task on their morning routine, and the possibly most important connections of our day would be missed. We would finish homeschool early, we would get more done, but still we will have missed out.
So to you momma, the momma like me, who always wonders if she's doing it right, take a rest, make sure you leave time in your day to accomplish the most important things.
A wise mother once told me that one of the most important lessons we can teach our children is how to rest. And now, as a mother of children who love relaxed time with me, I can say wholeheartedly that I agree with her! You see, it is in those times when we are relaxed, that we are emotionally present enough to give our children some of the things they desperately need the most! They need us to pay attention to them, and not anything else, to sit quietly with them, and let the thoughts of their little hearts pour out to us in a way that they only can when things are restful and quiet.
They need us to pray for them, they need to find us reading God's word, not in a rush, but in a way that teaches them that God's word is something to feast on and delight in and "waste our day away in."
And since we're on the subject, I don't usually read my Bible in the morning. Usually it's later in the day, when my mind is sharp later. One benefit of that as a mother, is that sometimes my children get to see me read God's word during the day.
Now for those of you amazing mothers who wake up early in the morning as the proverbs 31 woman does and prepares bread for her household and is busy at work, enjoy the place and routine that God has called you to as well!
I will be the proverbs 31 woman who stays up just a little later preparing for the next day.
Either way you go (or if you are something completely different, or in between), remember that God gave you the children you needed and gave your children the mother they needed. He ordained every day for them before there was yet one of them (Psalm 139) including today.
Relish today in the fact that your family has been called to care for and love each other in different ways than other families – different ways that are beautiful and sweet. . .in ways that no one else can completely know or really understand, except of course the very Creator God who ordained your days together before the beginning of time.

Beautiful post, Adina!!!! I feel like the past few months God has been teaching me to REST in Him, as opposed to being RESTLESS as I tried to take on extraneous demands and manage countless distractions. I want to sit at Jesus' feet and turn down the volume around me and hear His voice instruct and guide my heart, thus my day. Thank you so much for sharing this! I love your heart! Lots of love!!!
Learning about grace is a lifelong task. It's first about learning how loved we are when we don't deserve it. Then it's about learning how our human efforts divert us from enjoying the lavish love that holds us.
Your story reminds me of a comment your mother made about the subtle pressures around us to perform. In late 1995 Carolyn Ahrens' song "Seize The Day" was getting a lot of airplay on Transworld radio. In a voice, colored a bit with exasperation, Linda said, "that song just makes me tired."
It's a bit heart warming to see the parallel in your spiritual journey between you and Linda. Even more encouraging is knowing your children get to watch you learn how to be childlike, held, resting in His specific loving provision, specially made just for you. Thanks.
Adina, thank you for that post. Really. It made me reflect in so many of our conversations we used to have. You have always been a woman who inspires me to be a better mother, wife, and Christian. I love your outlook raising children and still, to this day, think of how to handle situations better like you might do.
You are absolutely right, Miss Adina. My children are grown and I miss the quiet relaxed moments when they were younger. I cherish all the little moments that were not doing anything special but being with each other. You are a good Mom. I've seen your loving ways. Do not doubt yourself…you are a loving mother and a supportive wife….but mostly you are a wonderful person. I love you always and your whole family. Aunt Molly

How do I play this game?
Darker Slate is an interactive puzzle mystery. Each chapter is like a new level of the game. The chapter advances the story, and at the end you will be presented with a puzzle of some kind. Simply type the correct solution into the form at the bottom and you will advance to the next level. You will find some levels harder than others, naturally. Some may even require you to flex your search engine skills. In some cases, there are hover notes at the bottom of the page on levels where the solution format is tricky. For every level, though, the solution will always be a combination of letters, digits, or both. Some levels refer to things from previous chapters, too, so write down anything you think might come in handy later on. You never know!
What does the rating mean?
Each chapter has a difficulty rating. The higher the number, the harder the level is, relative to how well people perform on that level. The number is determined by dividing the fails by the successes. As you can see in this example, 96 divided by 5 is about 19.
Do I really have to read the story?
No, not really. Okay, we lied. Some chapters have clues in the story text. Be thankful the chapters are short.
What if I get stuck on a level?
If you get stuck on a level, you can always try to ask for clues in the Dead Drop. It is a general rule that you should never ask for the answer outright; as such, you should also never post an answer outright to any level. Posting the answers ruins the fun for everyone, much like posting spoilers to your favorite shows.

text: BUSINESS Film fest staff, guests forced to flee from fire 5:00 AM PDT 9/24/2007 by Nick Holdsworth , AP FACEBOOK TWITTER EMAIL ME Empty VLADIVOSTOK, Russia -- The top manager of Russia's Pacific Meridian film festival, members of staff and international guests were among scores of people forced to flee a high rise hotel fire the early hours of Sunday morning. Alexander Doluda, executive director of the festival, which focuses on films from Asia-Pacific countries, was asleep in his sixth floor room at the sea front Vladivostok Hotel when he awoke to gagging fumes from a blaze just a few doors away.Clasping a towel soaked in water he made his way with other scared guests through the thick smoke and fumes down a stairwell to the hotel's ground floor as the fire took hold."There was a lot of thick, black acrid smoke and it was pitch black on the sixth floor as the electricity had gone out," Doluda told The Hollywood Reporter.Evgenia Dudina, head of the festival's visa and accommodation service, who was staying in a room adjacent to the blaze, said the initial confusion was ameliorated by a swift and orderly evacuation."It was pretty scary. I could see sheets of flame shooting past my window," she said.Doluda, Dudina and others from the festival management team -- all of whom were staying on the sixth floor -- checked with hotel staff to ensure that none of the festival's international guests had been harmed in the fire before organizing alternative accommodation at the nearby Versailles Hotel.A number of guests had remained in Vladivostok after the festival's closing ceremony Friday as they awaited long haul flights that included New York, Sydney and Seoul on Monday.No one was hurt in the fire, believed to have been caused by an electrical fault, but around a hundred hotel guests, including a large group of Chinese visitors unconnected with the film festival, were kept waiting for more than an hour outside as crews from three fire tenders tackled the blaze at the 11 story, 415 room two star hotel managed by Russia's state hospitality company, Intourist.Those guests who elected to remain at the hotel, which overlooks Vladivostok's famous Amur Bay, were allowed back in after the "all clear" was sounded at about 2 a.m. only to be awoken and evacuated briefly again after a second fire -- in an electrical wiring circuit board in a second floor stairwell -- caused a fresh alarm.Guests were re-admitted to the hotel within 15 minutes on the second occasion as hotel staff began an overnight clean up operation that was continuing Sunday.

Advance Fantasy AI Free Edition is quite awesome, but it's camera only support for static camera from above. I modified it a bit so we can use 3rd person camera style to our character. I create 3rd person camera system based on 3rd person controller from unity3d standard assets.
I also included game manager class for managing AI spawns. here is my modified package of Advance Fantasy AI, don't forget to include default Fantasy AI in your project.
Tweet&getit is powered by Viuu
Here is sample of modified assets, use 'arrow" or 'w-a-s-d' to navigate player and use 'space' or 'left click' to attack, and 'right click' to snap camera to it's position. (more…)
Creating a massive RPG game takes a long time, we must create large number of props model, some character model, some building model. there is a lot scripting to do too. Some people has already create really nice assets and share it in assets store and forum. Here they are :
1. Advance Fantasy AI FREE Edition
By Brilliant Game Studios
Here is Fantasy AI Free Edition! we could get a good taste of what Fantasy AI has to offer! This version features including Easy Character setup system, built in Follow Pathfinding system, Raycasting vision (to detect player), basic animation and targeting system, and much more. In this package also included mini scene about Fight off 500 AI Skeletons called 'Dungeon Hordes'. Need AI simple found, follow and attack system? just install this free version but awesome of Advance Fantasy AI. (more…)
is a special scrolling technique in computer graphics, creating an illusion of depth in a 2D video game and adding to the immersion. The key of parallax scrolling is background layer move by the camera slower than foreground layer. We will create simple parallax scrolling effect, using UV Scrolling technique and Object Scrolling technique,.
UV Scrolling is a method to create looping animation by moving UV Textures according to textures planar position. We could do this by modifying offset of x-coordinate and y-coordinate of textures. UV Scrolling can be used to animate water flow, river, waterfall, rain, background scrolling, etc
Object Scrolling is a method to create looping animation by moving Object according to world position. After object isn't seen on the scene / camera, we would move it's to initial position, so it will create looping object animation.
Here is our final example of the simple parallax scrolling, we could download project file in the end of post. (more…)
There is nice posted from Michael Jasper's Web for how to do a camera shaking effect in Unity3d, It's quite simple, it combines both positional movement with rotational movement to simulate 'Shaking Effect' to player. I modifying it a little bit so we can set it's variable via inspector view. put this code bellow into js script and rename it to cameraShake.js
#pragma strict var originPosition:Vector3; var originRotation:Quaternion; var shake_decay: float = 0.002; var shake_intensity: float; var coef_shake_intensity : float = 0.3f; function Start () { } function Update(){ if(shake_intensity > 0){ transform.position = originPosition + Random.insideUnitSphere * shake_intensity; transform.rotation = Quaternion( originRotation.x + Random.Range(-shake_intensity,shake_intensity)*.2, originRotation.y + Random.Range(-shake_intensity,shake_intensity)*.2, originRotation.z + Random.Range(-shake_intensity,shake_intensity)*.2, originRotation.w + Random.Range(-shake_intensity,shake_intensity)*.2); shake_intensity -= shake_decay; } } function Shake(){ originPosition = transform.position; originRotation = transform.rotation; shake_intensity = coef_shake_intensity; }
In that code there is two key variable to manage our shaking effect, (more…)

During my visit to Mount abu, we rented a car to tour around the city. The ride was through the narrow, winding hilly path, passing through dry barren valley. We saw many monkeys on route. The ride was quite scenic especially when we passed through a lake.
The lake looked serene and calm and we decided to stop and spend some time jaywalking around the lake.
After a short walk, I sat down on a bench while my friends went further down to go for a boat ride. It was lovely afternoon, my friends came back half way, insisting that I join them for a cup of Rabdi, a sweet dish, the city is known for. It was delicious, although a bit watery.
#NakkiLake is the ornament indulgence of#MtAbu..the story as narrated by our taxi guide is that lake is believed to be dug by sage with his nails(Nakki) to satisfy the eligibility criteria set by parents of his beloved. Today it stand as testimony of their eternal love.
There was a large garden behind the lake where I saw many people dress in a traditional rajasthani costume to pose for a photograph.
Outside the entrance, in the opposite lane, the road led towards market place selling the local handicraft items of the city.
We had just limited time to spend at Nakki lake but this market seemed like shopper's paradise. It was so colorful and vibrant.
I thought I would return on another day, not realizing the distances. It was quite far from where we had put up at Abu Road, at Brahmakumari Center and going back up the hill was not possible.
But spending two to three hours at this beautiful venue during the evening hours, watching the sunset by this Nakki Lake and going for a peddle boat ride would have been a better option.

So Tesla is industry leader in terms of battery capacity sales (in kWh) in 2015, with a big margin. I will see if I can bear in mind where it is. It is been a although since I solutions one, as I had a leading technician who could do it much better than I could, so I only did a few of these myself. By far, the easiest way to test a suspect fuel pump relay — or some other automotive relay — is to swap the suspect relay with a good one. It is calculated by taking your total gross profit from the sale of components and labor, which is sales minus the cost of parts and labor sales and dividing that total by your dealership's fixed expenditures.

All of their early and late model automotive gear has been initial class apart from some easily broken touch pads at one time on their truck wheel balancers they have very couple of difficulties. The Lexus leather is quite thick, so the repair requirements a filler to bring it up flush with the seat surface. My dad gave me three old Volkswagen and told me if I wanted a vehicle I needed to make 1 from the components.

Fun Corporate Team Building Activity Ideas
When you look around your office and see shoulders drooping or certain staffers getting into all-too-frequent spats, the conditions may seem right for holding a team building event to help to bump up morale at your firm. But of course, deciding on the right activities for a morning or afternoon of team building can be pretty tricky.
Here at U Drive Cars, we therefore decided to scour the web (and our own past experiences with such events!) to come up with some corporate fun day ideas that are likely to genuinely pique your employees' interest, instead of leaving them rolling their eyes.
Life drawing
It's often said these days that everyone is an artist, and when you want to cultivate creativity as well as strong morale in your workforce, a day of life drawing may seem to fit the bill.
Once your employees get past any awkwardness that they might expect from drawing a nude model (and in any case, sessions using clothed or part-clothed models do exist!), they'll almost certainly love their time spent behind the easel, refining their drawing or painting technique and having plenty of fun along the way.
There are a lot of arts organisations, art schools, universities and other providers of life drawing classes out there, and different classes often offer different approaches. Some may place the emphasis on traditional observational drawing of the figure, whereas others are more experimental, with the model serving as a vehicle for exploring new ideas and approaches.
Office trivia
You don't necessarily need to do anything too expensive, sophisticated or time-consuming as a team building exercise – indeed, you could do something no more complicated than coming up with a list of 20-25 trivia questions about life in your office, and seeing who knows your workplace best.
What does that 'inspirational' poster on the canteen cupboard say? How many people are in the HR department? In what month of the year do most staff birthdays occur? These are all questions that could be included in a quick and convenient activity lasting little longer than a lunch hour.
Getting behind the wheel
You might expect us to suggest a driving day here at U Drive Cars, and… well… why not? How often do your employees get the chance to clamber behind the wheel of a mix of classic and modern cars, potentially including supercars that they may have always dreamed of driving? It all happens at our Oxford circuit, and it's fair to say that it won't be just another mundane team building event.
Whatever cars your staffers might fancy putting through their paces on the day, we're sure we'll have something to interest them within our extensive fleet. Alternatively, if you aren't sure, don't worry about it – just tell us your budget, how many people will be participating and whether you want the emphasis of your driving team building day to be on classic or modern cars, or a combination of the two. We'll then assemble a bespoke package that will appeal to your staff and the financial decision maker at your company.
Go Ape
Organising the perfect outdoor adventure day for your employees is often much easier said than done. Will you be able to put something together that all of your staffers will enjoy, including both the more and less athletic members of your workforce? Will it also be safe and genuinely assist you with your corporate goals?
That's why you should really turn to a reputable provider of such adventure days, such as Go Ape. The company has been around since 2001, has 31 locations around the UK and offers a choice of six activities, as well as many different catering options, so it really couldn't be easier to plan the ideal bespoke day.
What about a classic Tree Top Adventure that will see the intrepid members of your team gliding down zip wires, tackling high rope obstacles and leaping off Tarzan Swings, all while enjoying the fresh air of the great outdoors?
The company also offers Team Development activities that will help to coax even your shiest team members out of their shell and give you an insight into your most effective leaders, as well as Team Solutions days that are invaluable for improving how your entire team performs as a unit.
Making like the Calendar Girls… or boys
The events management company Adventure Connections certainly has some fun corporate team building activities and ideas listed on its website, including the likes of city treasure hunts and animation workshops. However, we especially liked this suggestion of having competing teams create their own calendars.
It involves teams using high-quality digital cameras to create, style and shoot their own interpretation of each month of the year. The teams then pitch their creations to the judges, and a 'master calendar' can be created from a combination of the teams' images. Now, wouldn't that be a nice – and useful – souvenir to have at the end of it all?
These are just a few of the many corporate team building events that you might consider, and which should serve as a decent taster of the possibilities that go well beyond the stereotypical paintballing!
If you especially like the idea of a U Drive Cars corporate day, don't hesitate to contact our team now, on 01869 277 112.

I used to have a blog a few years ago, but I killed it.
I had just become a mother and was trying to hold down a career at the same time. I did not have the energy or discipline to keep a blog going.
Times have changed. Sprog is older and I've finished one of my big writing commitments i.e. my Courage of the spirit trilogy. So a little more time means I can once again commit my thought (I tend to only have one good one a day XD ) to the internet outside of twitter.
So, this blog will be mainly my rants and complaints about life but also reviews of games, anime, books or anything else that successfully holds my fickle interest for more than 10 minutes. This will also be the place where I talk about my writing projects.
So, to new readers, welcome. To old readers, nice to see you again.
Here we go people!

One good thing, perhaps the only good thing, about the MPs' expenses scandal is that it has pushed constitutional reform issues up the agenda.
Charter '88, now part of Unlock Democracy, has been plugging away on this agenda for over 21 years. Now there is an upsurge of other organisations on similar lines from 38 Degrees to Power2010. With all these numbers in their titles, perhaps we should group them as Democracy2.0
Power2010 has been promoting its ballot on various reform pledges; many of them, from fairer votes to the right to recall your MP, will be familiar to Liberal Democrat supporters. Another Power2010 pledge I'm backing is to scrap ID cards. NO2ID activists will be joining forces with Power2010 at their first London activists' meeting. It's next Tuesday 16th February, 6-8pm at ULU on Malet Street, WC1E 7HY.

The syndication was well received by Japans banking sector, with 13 financial institutions participating. Canadian Solar will use the funds to finance the development of solar projects in Japan, as well as for general corporate working capital requirements.
We are very pleased to receive such strong support from a leading group of financial institutions, demonstrating their confidence in the growth prospects of Canadian Solar, said Dr. Shawn Qu, Chairman and CEO of Canadian Solar. We value our partnership with SMBC, and we look forward to continuing the cooperation to support our business growth in Japan and other important markets.
Canadian Solar already has a significant presence in the Japanese market, and secured a JPY 6.2 billion (US$60 million) investment from Prudential Capital Group earlier this year. The company currently has a pipeline of more than 20 MW of solar PV projects in the country.
With this new source of funding Canadian Solar remains one of the largest and most successful businesses in the solar industry. As well as this expansion in Japan, we are seeing major projects in development in China, Latin America and all over the world.

News that Rep. Anthony Weiner and his wife Huma are expecting their first child adds a touch of humanity to an increasingly grotesque tale.
But here's the question: Is Weiner so utterly devoid of common decency that he'd subject his pregnant wife to wholly unnecessary pain and humiliation as his career disintegrates around them both?
A real man would quit.
Then again, a real man wouldn't have gotten into such bizarre trouble in the first place.
Yesterday, the long-discussed X-rated photo of Weiner's now-famous appendage hit the Internet; blogger Andrew Breitbart showed it on his cellphone to radio shock jocks Opie & Anthony while taping their show — and their in-house video crew captured the image.
Quick as a wink, it was on the Web — and around the world.
Weiner's colleagues were not happy.
"Having the respect of your constituents is fundamental for a member of Congress," said Rep. Allyson Schwartz (D-Pa.), a top official of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee. "In light of Anthony Weiner's offensive behavior online, he should resign."
She was joined by Rep. Michael Michaud (D-Me.), who called on Weiner to quit; Rep. Joe Donnelly (D-Ind.), who said he had "disgraced the Congress" — and Sen. Mark Pryor (D-Ark.), who urged Weiner to "go ahead and resign."
Even before the photo surfaced, former Democratic Party Chairman Tim Kaine, now running for the US Senate in Virgina, demanded Weiner's resignation, saying: "Lying is unforgivable [and] public lying about something like this is unforgivable."
And at least two of Weiner's Democratic House colleagues said they'd give away campaign cash they'd received from his committee.
A lot of this is self-serving, of course. Which Democratic politician wants to be tarred with Tony Weiner's brush?
Let's be clear: Weiner's disgusting behavior has not only brought shame on himself, but upon Congress as well.
And there's more.
It seems that Weiner had known for months that his disturbing antics was being tracked by people who wished him no good — but he kept it up.
The Times reported yesterday that the trackers had started contacting some of the women who were interacting with Weiner on Twitter and warning them to stay away.
Yet all he did was drop his contact with some of the women he'd targeted — while continuing with others, including porn star Ginger Lee.
Quite apart from the sickness underlying Weiner's sexting compulsion, there's a self-destructiveness to his behavior that borders on the frightening.
We understand that Weiner has never held a job outside of politics, and that he seems to have few marketable private-sector skills (apart from lobbying — for which, come to think of it, he seems quite well-suited).
But his political career is over, and there's a baby on the way.
It's time for Tony Weiner to move on to the next phase in his life.
Today wouldn't be too soon.

abstract:Stella Harvey, founder of Whistler's writers group, Vicious Circle launched her debut novel, Nicolai's Daughters (published by Signature Editions, Oct 2012) at the 2012 writers festival this past October. After spending almost a decade with false starts she settled on her novel's premise and the hefty 336 page volume results. Join us in discussion with the author next month, December 6th. Stella's maiden name is Leventoyannis. Her family comes from Greece and her book is set in two cities in the southern region of Peloponnese. This hilly countryside, though surrounded by water, would be an island if not for the technicality of a land bridge that joins the mainland. Interestingly, the local population has provided the majority of Greece's modern-day politicians.
To research for her book, Harvey says that she returned to Greece regularly to connect with her heritage, visit family and brush up on her native tongue. During her travels she discovered a WWII piece of history involving a German massacre of a town's male population over age 13, a fact that has been kept quiet by members of the townspeople who left after the tragedy. Harvey was intrigued by the idea that a tragedy of this nature would follow generations in a variety of ways, whether they knew about the story or not. Indeed she imbues her main character with additional layers of secrets which his daughters are led to uncover. Loss, longing and secrets are the basis of this book told through the alternating voices of daughter Alexia and her father Nicolai. The reader is carefully bounced between generational stories, colliding cultures and economic realities to reach the climactic truth. Join us at a private home in Whistler (details disclosed with paypal voucher). Tickets $10 $15 at the door, with proceeds used for Greek themed refreshments and appis. (Voucher has mapquest location link).
Copies of the book can be purchased at Armchair Books in Whistler village and members be sure to get your 10% Whistler Reads discount. It's also available online in digital format via iTunes, KOBO or Kindle.
Visit Stella's website for more biographic information and a very good book trailer.
