Is your shower safe? What kind of question is that? Of course it's safe… Or is it? Most water coming into our homes is chlorinated. Chlorine is a known carcinogenic. Chlorine evaporates more rapidly than water, so when we breathe in, our lungs inhale the vapors. So, between our skin absorbing the chlorinated water and our lungs inhaling any chlorine that evaporates, a shower can, in the end, expose our bodies to harmful chemicals. A simple inexpensive solution is a shower filter. An Aquasana shower filter can be purchased for under $50, a worthwhile investment for your health and well-being.
Rhabdomyolysis is a serious condition resulting from the breakdown of skeletal muscle fibers with leakage of muscle contents (myoglobin) into circulation. If not treated expeditiously, it may lead to kidney failure. While there are many causes of rhabdomyolysis, the one the fitness industry evaluates is overexertion due to exercise.
Too much exercise can lead to individuals being hospitalized with rhabdomyolsis. This condition is not specific to, nor is it more prevalent in beginner fitness enthusiasts. Doctors and fitness experts agree that anyone beginning a fitness program who has little or no experience should take it slow and build up in intensity and duration over time. One case documents a 29 year-old male who decided to perform 30-40 sit-ups every night. After 5 consecutive days, he developed this condition. On the opposite end of the spectrum, the University of Iowa put their football team through a rigorous workout after a 3 week long winter break. That workout, supervised by professional trainers, sent 13 football players to the hospital for treatment.
The most notable symptom is urine color. Specifically, the urine is darker than normal, becomes the shade of tea or cola, or is red. Other symptoms include severe muscle pain, muscle swelling, or muscle weakness. Normal muscle soreness from working out occurs 1-3 days later, while soreness that comes on immediately or within 24 hours is possibly related to this syndrome. If you experience any of these symptoms go directly to the hospital. A simple blood test will show whether you have this condition or not.
Exercise is not the only risk factor. Statin drugs, sickle cell anemia, McArdle disorder, alcoholism, trauma from an accident, severe exercise such as a marathon, heat stroke and amphetamines all increase the risk of developing rhabdomyolisis.
According to Roger Deutsch, author of "Your Hidden Food Allergies are Making You Fat," it certainly is a possibility. He begins by explaining the difference between a food allergy and a food sensitivity. A food allergy causes a rapid, severe onset of symptoms while a food sensitivity yields delayed low-grade symptoms. The body's reaction to an allergy vs. an intolerance is also different. A food sensitivity is handled by the innate immune system of the body compared to a food allergy which is handled by the specific immune systems. Food sensitivities and allergies involve different chemical pathways and thus require different tests for detection. A standard allergy test cannot detect a food sensitivity. Food sensitivities can cause migraines, chronic arthritis, fatigue, and chronic inflammation. Long-term chronic inflammation can lead to asthma, arthritis, and some gastrointestinal problems.
The test for food sensitivities, the ALCAT test, can be purchased from achooallergy.com. It's an easy test that can be done in the privacy of your home. You do not need a prescription. You simply place an order on the internet.
Where might you find your second brain? Go no further than your gut. According to Dr. Campbell-McBride's book, "Gut and Psychology Syndrome," a healthy digestive system can reverse autism, depression, ADHD, schizophrenia and a host of other issues. Dr. Natasha Campbell-McBride's research shows that neurotoxins are produced by abnormal flora in the gut. The neurotoxins are absorbed into the body and taken to the brain causing a long list of mental illnesses. A healthy digestive system is imperative for mental health, physical health and emotional health. The immune systems needs a healthy intestinal tract to fight off disease and infections.
One way to improve your intestinal integrity is to eat fermented foods, including, yogurt, sour cream, olives, kefir, sauerkraut, and pickles. "Fermentation is the flavorful space between fresh food and rotten food (Sandor Katz)."
The benefits of eating fermented foods include
- Boosts the immune system by giving the body an abundance of probiotics
- Increases the vitamin content compared to its unfermented counterpart
- Improves the body's ability to absorb vitamins in any food
- Promotes a healthy balance of good and bad flora and digestive enzymes
- Helps rid the body of toxins
- Stabilizes blood sugar
- Preserves food for longer thereby saving you money
Where to buy fermented foods? The best option is to make your own. Food manufacturers, in order to make the products uniform, resort to other processes. www.Culturesforhealth.com sells starter kits for yogurt, cheese, soy, buttermilk, and kefir. They have how-to videos, recipes and informative articles about fermentation
Keep in mind, if you are toxic, start with a very small amount of home-made fermented food, such as a teaspoon a day. The improvement in your gut's health will help your body release toxins. Too much, too fast, may cause an intense toxic release. So, take it slow.
I'm sure most of you have read about the benefits of coconut water, but did you know coconut oil has a much more extensive list of health benefits, including stopping and reversing Alzheimer's disease. Dr. Carolyn Dean has a great summary of research conducted by Dr. Bruce Fife (http://www.naturalnews.com/032727_coconut_oil_Alzheimers.html).

The recent controversy over the use of UV lamps causing cancer in the nail bed when used to dry has many women concerned and opting for alternatives.
Accusations began with reports finding the UV exposure from drying nails equaled the exposure from a tanning bed. Experts are concerned that exposure from UV lamps leads to the more dangerous skin cancer, melanoma. Melanoma is much harder to cure and has a high mortality rate. Also, keep in mind, even if it's low level exposure, women are still at risk for other forms of skin cancer, such as basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma. These are caused by chronic low-level exposure to the sun or UV rays. This cancer is easier to cure when detected early.
Some facts about skin cancer:
- Skin cancer is the most common form of cancer in the United States.
- Each year there are more new cases of skin cancer than the combined incidence of breast, prostate, lung and colon cancers.
- One in five Americans will develop skin cancer in the course of a lifetime.
- Basal cell carcinoma is the most common form of skin cancer; an estimated 2.8 million are diagnosed annually in the US. BCCs are rarely fatal, but can be highly disfiguring if allowed to grow.
- Squamous cell carcinoma is the second most common form of skin cancer. An estimated 700,000 cases of SCC are diagnosed each year in the US causing 2,500 deaths.
- An estimated 3,170 deaths from non-melanoma skin cancers will occur in the US in 2013.
- About 90 percent of non-melanoma skin cancers are associated with exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun.
- Melanoma accounts for less than five percent of skin cancer cases, but the vast majority of skin cancer deaths.
- Melanoma is the most common form of cancer for young adults 25-29 years old and the second most common form of cancer for young people 15-29 years old.
This statement further explains the issue:
""Nail dryers use UVA light," Dr. D'Anne Kleinsmith, spokesperson for the American Academy of Dermatology (AAD) tells Yahoo! Shine. "It doesn't cause much burning but penetrates the skin more than UVB. UVA radiation is more associated with damage to deeper levels of the skin, wrinkling, and cancer. She adds, "Without the burning, we are more are apt to overdose on UVA."
Nail drying machines are unregulated so it is difficult to determine how much UVA they emit. Older machines may emit higher levels. While more studies need to be done, research published in 2009 indicates a connection between UV nail dryers and skin cancer. Some dermatologists are reporting seeing skin problems around the nail beds of patients with little sun damage on other parts of their bodies. While individual trips to the salon might not be a problem, over time, the exposure adds up. " (Weir, Yahoo Shine)
The general facts about skin cancer sound pretty alarming to me. Regardless of your thoughts about using UV nail dryers, minimizing exposure to UV rays and taking extra precautions, such as lathering up your hands with sunscreen before placing them under the UV light, seems to be the smart thing to do. While I'm not preaching, remember, those beautiful nails now may come at a much greater cost later.
If only life were sooooo EASY!!!! Wouldn't it be great if all we had to do was eat all the foods labeled "fat-free" and drink "diet" soda (since that has ZERO calories) and we would all be SKINNY!!!! Ha…. Good Luck! Have you tried that theory out? How many of you didn't lose weight? Dr. Mark Hyman's blog below explains why eating fat-free foods and/or drinking diet drinks will cause you to be fat. Mind you those are his words. Click here to find out the truth about what you are eating and how misguided you may be.
Diet is 80 % of the equation in weight loss and weight management. Exercise, rest and stress management make up the other 20%. These days' eating out is just a part of life. Everyone is so busy that taking the time to plan meals, write the food shopping list, go to the grocery store, unpack the bags and then finally cook and cleanup is unrealistic. I understand. When I ask my clients what they eat when they go out, I hear many say "I always order a salad as my main. Of course I know not to order a Caesar salad."
Recently I came across an article on yahoo health called "6 Salads Worse than a Whopper." That article got me thinking. I started looking up salads at some restaurants and here's what I found:
California Pizza:
Caramelized Peach Salad (with a house made white balsamic vinaigrette) with chicken is 1190 calories. Just looking at the calorie count, you'd be saving a few hundred calories ordering the Caesar salad with chicken.
A smarter option is the Chinese chicken salad at 620 calories.
Putting this in perspective, while you ate lunch at California Pizza, your friend or spouse eats at TGIF and lets say orders a 6 ounce Black Angus Steak with fries. That meal totals 660 calories (not far from the Chinese chicken salad in calories).
You go to Longhorn steak house and order a grilled chicken and strawberry salad while your counterpart orders a 6-ounce sirloin with string beans. You consume 530 calories and he/she comes in at 420 calories. If your counterpart orders fries then the calorie count is 660.
I'm not suggesting that everyone should eat steak and fries when dining out. My point is, when you can, look up the menus and nutrition facts online before you head out. At least you will know the calorie and fat count of your meal. Sometimes a seemingly innocent salad is a bit of devil!

Ever heard of glutathione?
"Glutathione is a very simple molecule that is produced naturally all the time in your body. It is a combination of three amino acids -- cysteine, glycine and glutamine. The secret of its power is the sulfur (SH) chemical groups it contains. Sulfur is a sticky, smelly molecule. It acts like fly paper and all the bad things in the body stick onto it, including free radicals and toxins like mercury and other heavy metals. Normally glutathione is recycled in the body -- except when the toxic load becomes too great. And that explains why we are in such trouble." (Dr. Mark Hyman, Huffington Post 04/10)
Glutathione is the first line of protection against environmental chemicals and toxins. If glutathione levels are low, then the body will not be able to rid itself of the toxins. Stress, lack of sleep, illness, injury and an overload of toxins can reduce glutathione levels.
Why is Glutathione so great?
1. Glutathione protects against oxidative stress of the immune system and allows new cells to attack germs and viruses.
2. Glutathione is the gatekeeper to the cell enabling antioxidants to come into the cell and be synthesized.
3. Glutathione is a detoxifier of the cell; grabbing on to and getting rid of toxins such as arsenic and mercury as well as riding the body of free radicals. A great video demonstrating this is given by Dr. Oz and can be watched here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cFg7TYSn9zk
4. Glutathione is the only antioxidant that has the ability to recycle itself. No other antioxidant does this.
5. Glutathione protects the nucleus and DNA of a cell.
6. Gluthathione takes amino acids from outside the cell and transports the amino acid inside the cell.
Raising glutathione levels, especially in people who have cancer and other serious conditions, helps some people stabilize or even reverse their conditions. It may also enhance physical performance, mental acuteness, mood, and energy.
How can we increase our glutathione levels?
1. "The overall top food for maximizing your glutathione is high quality whey protein. It must be cold pressed whey protein derived from grass fed cows, and free of hormones, chemicals and sugar. Quality whey provides all the key amino acids for glutathione production (cysteine, glycine and glutamate) and contains a unique cysteine residue (glutamylcysteine) that is highly bioactive in its affinity for converting to glutathione. Glutamylcysteine is a bonded cysteine molecule (cysteine plus glutamate) that naturally occurs in Bovine Serum Albumin – a fragile immune component of the whey. This unique cysteine is exclusive to whey and rarely appears in other protein foods – which makes whey protein the best glutathione-promoting food source." (Dr. Mercola April 2010).
2. Glutathione supplements are another way to increase glutathione in the body. I have not read any studies as to the efficacy of their use. Some argue that taking a glutathione supplement is a waste of money and time because the stomach acids destroy the glutathione.
3. Supplements in the form of a "precursor" may stimulate the body's ability to produce glutathione. The body needs 3 precursors to produce glutathione: N-Acetyl Cysteine (derived from L-Cysteine), Glycine and Glutamate. While glycine and glutamate are abundantly found in foods such as broccoli, avocado, garlic, asparagus, tomatoes and spinach, N-Acetyl Cysteine is not. A precursor supplement focuses on giving the body enough N-Acetyl Cysteine.
4. A physician can administer glutathione intravenously. In the Dr. Oz video above, Dr. David Katz, Director of Yale Preventative Research Center, spoke about using the intravenous method with a patient who has Parkinson's.
Glutathione, with all of its abilities to heal and purify, truly is the body's own Super Hero.

The American suburbs: where old people get trapped, all the houses look the same, and you have to drunk-drive to get home from parties. Or is it not so bad?
While we were discussing failed urban planning ideas that seemed good at the time, many pointed out that they just want a yard, a garage, and a house of their own. Ash78 was one of these voices.
The suburban parts of America, for all its wastefulness and poor planning, is really a pretty nice way to redistribute wealth. (Wait, did I just say redistribute wealth? Like a socialist?) It gives average working people a way to gain some hard equity — price fluctuations included — instead of simply giving their money away in rent to a plutocrat landlord to increase HIS wealth at the expense of yours.
Homeownership isn't perfect (it's a damn headache; and commuting sucks). But it's a part of America that I wouldn't trade for anything. It's like a miniature feudal system where we all get to take part, rather than allowing all land ownership to be relegated to the wealthiest people. Our suburban model could probably never be repeated because it's a product of a unique set of historical circumstances. And it's nice to see that many cities are improving their zoning and incentives so more people can work AND live outside the city, and not mass commute to a central location. And similarly, downtown revitalization projects allow the same, but within the city. Modern construction and infrastructure means we don't have to live like according to the city model of the ancient Romans (or Maya, Aztecs, Babylonians, Greeks...). We just need to figure out how to better use technology to stop wasting resources — namely, oil — if we want this utopia to continue.
I'm all for VOLUNTARY wealth distribution. It's both free market and egalitarian at the same time. Homes and land are still the best method.
I grew up watching Suburbia and thinking that commuting is the worst affliction on the American people since the Civil War, so I've never been into the suburban ideal, magnified by my new and carefully-cultured pompous New York asshole attitude.
What do you think? As a gearhead, do you prefer the city, where you don't have to commute, or do you prefer the suburbs where you have a garage?

CANASTOTA, N.Y. An intensely watched Congressional race here that has become a battleground over the future of the Republican Party took another surprising turn on Sunday, when the Republican candidate who ended her campaign a day earlier announced that she was endorsing the Democrat.
The endorsement only intensified the intra-party fighting that has characterized the bitter contest, as Republicans denounced their former nominee, Assemblywoman Dede Scozzafava, calling her a turncoat who was a member of the party in name only.
"She basically put aside any pretensions and threw in with the Democrats," said Dick Armey, the former Republican House leader, who was among an ever-growing group of conservative leaders opposed to Ms. Scozzafava's place on the Republican ticket. Those leaders embraced Douglas L. Hoffman, the candidate on the Conservative Party line.
The White House helped engineer Ms. Scozzafava's turnabout, sensing an opportunity to turn the rift that has emerged between moderate and conservative Republicans to its advantage. Members of New York's Democratic Congressional delegation also reached out to Ms. Scozzafava over the weekend and encouraged her to back the Democrat, Bill Owens, a lawyer from Plattsburgh, N.Y.
Adding to the intense pressure she faced, Senator Charles E. Schumer, Attorney General Andrew M. Cuomo and the Assembly speaker, Sheldon Silver, also placed calls to Ms. Scozzafava.
Her position in New York's Republican Party seems in doubt: The state party chairman, Edward F. Cox, condemned Ms. Scozzafava's move.
"Dede Scozzafava's endorsement today represents a betrayal of the people of the North Country and the people of her party," Mr. Cox said, referring to the state's northern reaches.
Ms. Scozzafava had been under siege from conservative leaders because she supports gay rights and abortion rights and was considered too liberal on various fiscal issues.
Democrats appeared emboldened by the endorsement, but the outcome of the race in this Republican-leaning district remains unpredictable. Neither candidate is taking anything for granted.
With 48 hours to go before the election on Tuesday, both candidates spent Sunday making stops at cafes and veterans' halls to drum up support in what is expected to be a tight race.
Vice President Joseph R. Biden will be in the district on Monday to campaign for Mr. Owens, while Mr. Hoffman plans to appear with former Senator Fred D. Thompson, one of many national conservative figures who back his candidacy.
Speaking to a group of supporters at a Veterans of Foreign Wars hall in Canastota on Sunday, Mr. Hoffman warned that the race could still be lost.
Ms. Scozzafava's endorsement was a setback for Mr. Hoffman, whose candidacy has been gaining considerable momentum. He was caught off guard by the news and learned of it from reporters.
"It's typical of the Democrats to throw everything at me but the kitchen sink, because they are worried I am going to win this race," he said.
In a statement released Sunday afternoon, Ms. Scozzafava said: "In Bill Owens, I see a sense of duty and integrity that will guide him beyond political partisanship. He will be an independent voice devoted to doing what is right for New York."
Mr. Owens struck a similar tone, emphasizing the need for "bipartisan solutions to help bring jobs to upstate New York."
Just a few hours after she announced her withdrawal on Saturday, Ms. Scozzafava met in a restaurant in her hometown, Gouverneur, N.Y., with Steve Israel, a Democratic congressman from Long Island, and the former chairwoman of the New York State Democratic Committee, June O'Neill. They made the case that she had more in common ideologically with Mr. Owens than Mr. Hoffman.
Exhausted and emotionally drained by the attacks from conservatives seeking to paint her as a liberal who was disloyal to the Republican Party, Ms. Scozzafava said she needed time to decide whether she could endorse Mr. Owens, said one person with knowledge of the meeting, who spoke requested anonymity in order to reveal details of private conversations.
The White House was closely monitoring the situation all weekend. A Democratic win in the Republican-leaning district would bolster the party while it is battling over health care reform in Congress and facing rising popular skepticism over its leadership in Washington.
Conservative Republicans who want to discourage the party from backing candidates they deem too moderate are also seizing on the race's national significance.
"We have a real opportunity to send a real message to Washington," Mr. Thompson wrote on Red State, a conservative blog. "Now, let's finish the job."

Nicky Butt expects Manchester United to be challenging for the Barclays Premier League title this season.
The sense of optimism around United is growing as the 2014/15 top-flight campaign draws ever nearer, with new manager Louis van Gaal having come in and so far seen his team emerge victorious from all five of their pre-season friendlies.
The Red Devils are looking to bounce back after the debacle of 2013/14, when they struggled under David Moyes and finished seventh in the table - a year on from being crowned champions in Sir Alex Ferguson's last season in charge.
And Butt, the former United midfielder who was part of the coaching staff last term and is again this season, is in optimistic mood ahead of the club's Premier League opener against Swansea at Old Trafford a week on Saturday.
The 39-year-old said: "The new manager is in charge now, we are on an unbeaten run and now we are looking to make a good start to the season with the first five games we have got (Swansea, Sunderland, Burnley, QPR and Leicester).
"Everyone expects Manchester United to contend for the title.
"We finished as low as we have done last season, but when the season starts again, everyone will expect. I am a fan, and I will expect us to be challenging again."
Butt, a United player from 1992 to 2004, knows the strong desire within the club to respond after disappointing periods and has no doubt there will be that kind of feeling in the dressing room at the moment.
"It (that desire) is immense," Butt said.
"In days gone by it has sometimes been when Man United are at their strongest - when they have had setbacks.
"We were always told in no uncertain terms that you had to step up to the plate, otherwise you were not going to be at the club for very much longer.
"I'm sure the new man in charge will say the same thing to the players. Hopefully the players will react, and I'm sure they will."
Butt worked with United's youth set-up last term and asked about his current role under Van Gaal he said: "It is a bit of a wider remit now - I'm looking over all age groups. But that needs to be finalised in the next few weeks."
Then asked for his impressions so far of the Dutchman, Butt said: "Positive. He is obviously a very in-control man.
"He has an aura about him - when he walks in the building, you know who the boss is, and I think that is very important.
"We had that with Sir Alex for all those years and I think we have that now with Van Gaal. He walks into the building and he commands your respect.
"All the players look up to him as the leader and that is how it should be. From afar, when I've looked at him it looks like he takes no messing about and if anyone doesn't toe the line, I'm sure they will be out of the team."
Butt was speaking on Thursday at the AJ Bell Stadium, where he, Ryan Giggs, Paul Scholes, and Gary and Phil Neville rolled back the years as they lined up together in a 'Class of 92 and friends' XI for a friendly against Salford City, the non-league outfit they bought between them this year.
The quintet went on to enjoy trophy-laden careers with United after all graduating from the club's academy in the early 1990s - something Butt thinks is unlikely to be replicated.
"It is possible - there are a lot of great young players out there," the ex-England international said.
"But we just need to give them a chance. We had a manager in charge and a club that believed in that, but it is harder now with the immediacy of it all. Everyone wants things instantly.
"Owners that come in don't necessarily know a lot about football - they just know a lot about business, unfortunately. But that's the way football is. People don't have the foresight to wait and see.
"To be fair, managers come in now and why should they go four or five nights a week looking at academies when nine times out of 10 they are not going to be there to see the rewards?
"I think good lads, top players, will still come through. But whether you will get five or six through together is something I doubt.
"We played together since we were 12, 13. To prepare lads to come through takes a lot of patience and a good owner to say to a manager 'we are going to give you time and stand by you'.
"Unfortunately, for whatever reason, it doesn't happen now."

Skin Spider : The Page Equivalent Url
To learn all about Skin Spider, click here.
To view the most updated application, click here.
To view the current code base, click here.
I am a firm believer that most pages in an application should have a URL equivalent. Meaning, you can put some URL in the browser and get most any page in the system. I say "most" any page, as I draw the line at things like multi-part forms and form processing (as I view those as "phases" of a given page, not distinct pages). While this is a rather simple feature of the application, it will become very important for further updates where our redirection-navigation depends on where the user came from - but that's for a future update.
Based on our current application architecture, building the page-equivalent Url is rather simple. All we need to do is use the server name, the ColdFusion template being called, and all related variables in the query string. The server name and the ColdFusion template can be taken directly from the CGI object or the underlying request object (which I will discuss later). The query string can be taken directly from out REQUEST.Attributes object. Remember, REQUEST.Attributes is a unioning of the FORM and the URL scopes. The way we have it set up, the REQUEST.Attributes should encompass every location-defining query string variable (plus other stuff as well).
StructLib.cfc ColdFusion Component
To start with, I updated the ColdFusion user-defined library (UDF) for structures, StructLib.cfc. I added a ToList() method which takes a structure of simple values and converts it into a dual-delimited list. To create a query string type value, you might pass in the URL struct, and "=" and "&" as the respective delimiters.
You will notice that the function needs simple values for the string concatenation of the struct values, but I am not doing any validation (ie. skipping over non-simple values or throwing an error). My theory on validation is as such: if you pass in invalid data, the system is going to break in one way or another. If I don't do any validation in the method, the ColdFusion runtime will throw an error when it tried to do concatenation (such as if the passed in struct had child structs or arrays). On the other hand, if I did do validation, I might throw a custom error explaining that that the struct can only handle simple values.
What's the difference? The only real difference is that if I do error handling / validation, then I can have a more informative error message. But is this worth it? I argue that it is not. By doing my own validation, I am adding the overhead of the validation to the existing validation that ColdFusion already does at run time. This is overkill. If it's going to break, it's going to break. But I don't want to rant about this... it's personal.
PageData.cfc ColdFusion Component
Once we figure out what the page-equivalent Url is, we need a place to store it. The existing REQUEST.PageData object just felt like the natural place for this. It already houses information about the rendered (X)HTML page, why not also give it information about the request location of the page. I am not 100% satisfied with this, but that stems mostly from the fact that I am also not 100% satisfied with the PageData.cfc object itself. But regardless, there is now a private variable for the Url in the PageData.cfc private variables. There is also a GetUrl() and a SetUrl() method.
Application.cfc ColdFusion Component
The setting of the Url into the REQUEST.PageData object takes place during the pre-page processing portion of the Application.cfc ColdFusion component. Specifically, it happens at the end of the OnRequestStart() application event method. As I explained above, I am building the Url based on the underlying request object and the REQUEST.Attributes object.
To go into just a bit more detail on the Url construction, I start off by getting the Url object from the underlying request object (via the Page Context). This does not return a string object; this returns a Java StringBuffer instance that contains the constructed URL parts (ie. HTTP Protocol, domain, port, authentication, ColdFusion template, etc). To this, we need to append the query string values (a function of the StringBuffer). The query string value we get by converting the REQUEST.Attributes struct to a dual delimited list (using the ToList() method discussed earlier). Then, we convert the string buffer to a string to get the actual, full page-equivalent Url.
As I mentioned before, this will not behave nicely on pages that require processing or contain HUGE values in the REQUEST.Attributes struct. But, I am not going to worry about that for the moment.
This does, however, raise an interesting issue; I have created a generic Struct function, ToList(), but I am using it here for a very specialized feature. Not only should I be worried about large text areas, I should also be worried about Url Encoding. Should these be optional arguments in the ToList() function? Or, Should this be a different function all together - perhaps part of the PageData component itself? There is fine balance between being open to extension and being overly complicated (at the risk of not duplicating code). For now, I am going to use the generic function and just hope that Url encoding and large text values (that might go past the allowable limit for Url length) don't cause any problems. Not the best plan of attack, but I don't want premature optimization of a system that isn't throwing errors.
Another thing to notice is that none of the meta-form data is stored in the URL. This is the reason that we strip it out of the FORM scope after we are done using it (after it has been moved into the REQUEST.MetaForm object and before the REQUEST.Attributes object is created). Some people might argue that this is an improper analysis of what a page url is... but I argue that the REQUEST.MetaForm holds information about the "phase" of the page. This should NOT be part of the page url. The url should not indicate anything but initial page data. You wouldn't want to link to the "processing" of a page - that just wouldn't make any sense.
So that's the small update. But this now covers the prerequisites for the next update regarding referential-relocation (as a post-form-processing Url). Hopefully that shouldn't be too complicated.

By Tenzin Palkyi and Tenzin Dickyi
June 24, 2013
Some years ago, the Tibetan Women's Association (TWA) organized a gender sensitization workshop for Tibetan youth in Chennai, India. The student leader working with the TWA, a well-meaning young man who was president of the Tibetan Students' Association of Madras, had a question before the workshop. "Do the girls have to wear chupa to the workshop?," he asked. The TWA staffer fielding the question responded with a question of her own. "Do the boys have to wear chupa to workshops?" "No," said the student leader. "Well then," said the staffer, "the girls don't have to wear chupa to the workshop either."
This Chennai workshop was one of a series of such workshops held for Tibetan communities across India. For the staff giving the workshops as well as for the young men and women who attended, it was an eye-opening experience. At the beginning of the workshop, the majority of the participants confidently said, of course there's gender equality –phomo dranyam- in Tibetan society. They were then asked to consider certain numbers: how many women in the Tibetan parliament versus how many men, how many women as departmental heads versus men, etc. They were also asked questions about their home life—how much of the housework their mother did versus their father, their sister versus their brother. In most cases, it turned out that the women did almost all the housework. But, the young men protested; don't women enjoy doing the cooking and cleaning? When their female counterparts said they very much didn't, they seemed genuinely staggered. After reflecting on these statistics and trends, the participants usually qualified their opinion. Maybe, they tentatively suggested, we don't have gender equality in our society.
That we lack gender equality in Tibetan society is not our thesis. We take that for granted. Indeed, all human societies in the world today suffer from a degree of gender discrimination that limits the society's true potential. However, at present, the Central Tibetan Administration (CTA) is hampered by a weak Women's Empowerment Policy that doesn't even acknowledge the existence of gender discrimination in our society. Our argument is that the present gender inequality in Tibetan society is a serious problem that Sikyong Lobsang Sangay's Kashag has a real opportunity to address by implementing a credible Women's Empowerment Policy that can be a lasting legacy.
We propose a revised Women's Empowerment Policy that actively seeks to increase women representation in CTA leadership; promote a gender sensitive environment at school, increase the enrollment of girls in the science and technology fields, and reserve scholarship seats for girls and women; and facilitate gender sensitization workshops for the community and eliminate all forms of violence against women.
As of 2009, women made up only 3% of the decision-making bodies of the CTA. Roughly the same number of boys and girls graduate from the schools across our community and roughly the same number of men and women enter the CTA as civil servants, so from the posts of settlement officer on to the departmental secretary, why are the vast majority of these seats filled by men?
The Good Tibetan Women
There are of course talented, capable women who are role models for girls growing up these days; in arts and journalism, Jamyang Kyi, Tsering Wangmo Dhompa and Woeser, the voice of a generation; in education, Jetsun Pema and B. Tsering; in activism and social justice, Lhadon Tethong and Losang Rabgey; in politics, Dicki Chhoyang, Youdon Aukatsang and Dhardon Sharling; in academia, Tashi Rabgey and Yudru Tsomo...but the list is short.
At school, girls are expected to be more obedient and quiet, more passive and pliant, than the boys. As adults, we are held to a different standard of behavior as well as social, cultural and familial responsibility—a double standard that we ourselves subscribe to without question. Why is it more shocking for women to smoke and drink? In the offices of Gangchen Kyishong, why is it only women who are expected to wear chupas, a routine yet important manifestation of culture, and not men? How is it possible, in this day and age, for Tenzingang to happen?
There is a story about the late Dawa Norbu, one of our foremost and beloved Tibetan scholars. He was always nose deep in a book and not much help around the house. One day his wife, who was cooking and also attending to their crying baby, snapped and said to Dawa Norbu, "Can't you at least watch the baby while I am cooking?" Dawa Norbu replied, "Then who will read the books? Will you?" This is probably an apocryphal story and we don't mean to make a straw man out of a funny story, but the idea of the wife reading is what makes this story funny. But if you really think about this, if you really think about why the wife reading is a funny thing, and how maybe we should no longer hold current practices to the judgment of our grandparents' time, then the joke deflates a bit.
Violence Against Women
Perhaps the incidence of violence against women is infrequent in our society, but we see the Tenzingang case as only a symptom of a larger disenfranchisement of Tibetan women. The violence against women isn't always obvious, but slowly and steadily, case by case, it adds up to an almost systematic disenfranchisement.
We grew up in Patlikuhl school in north India near the river Beas, which grew in strength every monsoon and threatened to flood the school until the year it finally did. We also grew up in Lower TCV School in Dharamsala, which was almost overrun by a mob of angry local Indians in 1995. But in retrospect, these were not the real tragedies that befell our schools.
In Patlikuhl, there were several cases of male teachers having affairs with female students and one, in fact, a monk and the sternest discipline master Patlikuhl ever had, impregnated a girl and ran off with her. In Lower TCV, two young girls were sexually assaulted by men who were members of the tight-knit community. Both were very young, around ten or so. In all of these cases, the local Indian police were not involved. The men received no legal punishment—they were forbidden to enter the school again but they spent no time behind bars for their crimes.
Recently in Tenzingang, one of the remote Tibetan settlements, seven people, including a woman named Kunsang who was the key instigator, stripped another woman naked, dragged her out of her home, beat her entire body, blacked her face with ink and tried to cut off her nose with a pair of scissors for having an affair with Kunsang's husband. The CTA official involved in settling the case produced this startling resolution: Kunsang paid a fine of Rs. 30,000 to the local monastery and her brother, who was one of the perpetrators, paid a fine of Rs. 5000. The brother was a member of the local assembly, from which he was not expelled, but suspended.
What Kunsang and her goons did to this woman is tragedy, but what the rest of us did is farce. We, her local community, her greater community, our government and our officials, our people, all of us, failed her. The only group that acquitted itself was the Tibetan Women's Association, which must be commended for its swift and concerned response to the case. And so our society has repeatedly failed such people, girls and women who are victims of violence; by handling such cases within the community instead of enforcing the host country's laws, instead of safeguarding the victim, we protect the perpetrator. What is this if not systematic disenfranchisement and system failure?
Women's Empowerment Policy
The establishment of a Women's Empowerment Desk (WED) in the CTA, in 2006, marked our national awakening to the issue of gender as a policy matter.
For this, and for writing the first Women's Empowerment Policy in our history, Samdhong Rinpoche and his Kashag should be commended. Unfortunately, this policy, dated October 14th, 2008, began with these indefensible words: "Since the beginning of human civilization in Tibet, Tibetans in their entire history have not experienced problems such as gender inequality or gender oppression and exploitation." Considering that there was not a single woman official at any level in either the courts of the Tibetan kings or during the four hundred years of Ganden Phodrang rule until the forcible dissolution and takeover of our government in 1959, this was not an auspicious beginning for a document intended to empower and equalize Tibetan women.
This policy has eight points, two of the more salient points being Point 1, that "CTA should also continue its on-going efforts to restore the Bikshuni Sangha ordination of Tibetan nuns" and Point 3, that "CTA should make every effort to encourage more women to be elected as local settlement officers in the Tibetan settlements." These are important items that we hope the CTA holds itself accountable for.
Two more problematic items are Point 5, that "CTA should make efforts to implement the provision that states that 'priority shall be given to female candidates for the post of pre-primary teacher', as enshrined in the Basic Education Policy of CTA" and Point 6 that stipulates for workshops for women to become "ideal mothers". While certainly actionable, the field of pre-primary teachers is already primarily female. Point 5 would make more sense if it targeted fields lacking in women. For instance, as we mentioned earlier, as of 2009, women made up only 3% of the decision-making bodies of CTA. Efforts to increase female representation in these bodies will be highly welcome. Additionally, workshops on how to become "ideal mothers", though not intentionally discriminatory, reinforce gender stereotypes and ignore women's capacity in other regards. We also believe that the one thing that would allow all women to become better, effective mothers is for their husbands to take equal responsibility in child rearing and household duties. Certainly many mothers would agree that there is a more urgent need for an "ideal fathers" workshop.
The Women's Empowerment Desk has made some significant strides in the last few years. The desk produced a manual for the women's empowerment program as a result of the symposium it organized in March 2010. Although this manual hasn't yet been made public, we believe this is the kind of work the WED should be doing more of.
In 2011, the WED also contracted seasoned researchers and field researchers to conduct a qualitative research into the lives of Tibetan women in exile and identify their needs and challenges. The findings from this research will be laid out in a report entitled, 'The Present Status of Tibetan Women in India." This report is under production and will be released soon. We are confident that the report will debunk the original assumption that gender discrimination does not exist in the Tibetan community, which seems to be the foundation on which the first Women's Empowerment Policy was written, and in fact highlight areas of discrimination faced by Tibetan women. We hope that the research findings will inform a significant revision of the policy.
We also hope that Sikyong Lobsang Sangay's Kashag will upgrade the Desk to meet current needs. A WED staffed with one person and armed with a weak policy cannot effectively address the gender gap in the Tibetan exile community. We are also curious about why the WED is placed under the Department of Finance. Wouldn't it make more sense to house the WED under the Department of Home, which oversees the settlement offices and thus can facilitate WED to conduct programs in settlements more effectively?
A credible Women's Empowerment Policy is essential to resolving societal and institutional gender discrimination and will help Tibetan women and men recalibrate our expectations and our duties. Our community and our cause need the capacity and commitment of all our citizens. With renewed energy and optimism, we can double the pool of people to draw on for the posts of not just pre-primary teachers but also Parliamentarian, Departmental Secretary, Tibetan Youth Congress President, Tibetan Justice Commissioner and the Political Leader of the Central Tibetan Administration.
Tibetan women are beginning to understand that our dreams need not be so small nor our obligations so heavy. We need not reach for the ceiling when we can touch the sky.

Outlands as a Protection Paladin
Short answer, it's very viable. I levelled from 60 to 70 as Protection. Of course, I level by questing, and very rarely grind for experience, so I don't know any specific spots which are good for AoE grinding while levelling. Once you hit 70, though, you have to go to the Demon Hunter training grounds at the Temple of Karabor in Shadowmoon Valley. It is the Protection Paladin version of Paradise.
However, there are a couple of things to watch out for. There's not a lot of true Protection gear until you hit 70 and Netherstorm. Most paladin quest rewards tend to be str/int/sta/spell damage. Luckily, most quests don't make you choose between warrior tanking gear and paladin gear. So you can use warrior tank quest rewards for your tanking set, and paladin gear for general levelling if you prefer.
Personally, I recommend levelling as Protection/Holy rather than the standard tank build of Protection/Retribution. I find Spiritual Focus invaluable while soloing, especially when undergeared. Also, take Reckoning. It's very good while levelling, especially for regenning mana with Seal/Judgement of Wisdom, though most tanks spec out of it when they hit raid content.
The only other thing about levelling as Prot that I can remember is that you get Seal of Blood/Vengeance at level 64. Try them out and see if you like them better than Righteousness. I tried Vengeance for a bit, decided it was silly, and went back to Righteousness. Vengeance can give more damage, but half the time it falls off. Righteousness is always reliable.
If you're bored, you can "twist" Vengeance and Righteousness. Cast SoV, after 10s Judge it, and then switch to SoR. You'll get SoR damage while the Vengeance debuff continues to tick. It's decent extra damage for the last part of the fight.
Anyways, as long as you save the warrior tank quest rewards, you should also be able to tank any of the instances as you level.
Hope that helps!

Personally I hit a brick wall at level 67 in Nagrand where mobs are too spaced out to AoE with any kind of efficiency. After trying out Ret and realizing I was geared totally wrong for it, I combed together all spell damage I had and went shockadin for a while. I either tanked or healed all instances before that (carrying two sets of gear around).ReplyDelete
I've done all my leveling as Protection (I don't really like spec dancing much, I'd rather get my build the first time), and so far Outland has been very good with it. There was a drag from 60 to 61, but after that things started to breeze by. Tanking instances is an excellent way to level.ReplyDelete
As well, I've never really had this problem with SoV "falling off", but I guess it's because all the low level tanking weapons have such a high swing speed that it's close enough to the PPM. SoV, I think I saw, is about 20 PPM, so a 3 speed weapon should proc every swing.
I leveled from 20-70 as prot. I buried myself deep into the prot tree also. But I finally learned the art of the AOE grinding in WPL and EPL. But the few tricks of the trade I learned was for 1-3 mobs, was choose the last mob that you picked up judge that mob with SoC. Concencrate then Holy Shield. Switch back to the first mob and then apply SoR. For those that are a bit bigger Use SoL judge it on a mob you plan to focus on then reapply SoL again so you are basically healing yourself and throw HS and Concencrate when needed to speed to process along.ReplyDelete
But if they where spaced out too far, I would just chain kill. Where you walk backwards and just pick up mobs as you go, but not to go to far where they start running away. When you get runners, I'd let them run, they will come back, if they bring friends, great.
That's my spin on it, it helps ya manage mobs and kind of practice for tanking in dungeons too. I think it is just more mana efficient to grab 6 mobs, believe it or not. I think it takes about the same amount of time for other classes to take down the same 6 as a pally can do at once.

Like rj above, I also leveled as Protection to 70. My server has a large enough pool of people in the 60s range that I leveled exclusively through tanking instances. I only did a few quests for tanking gear upgrades.ReplyDelete
Playing as a Prot has two advantages that are not so obvious. First, spending 10 levels instancing will give a player a very solid understanding of how the instances behave once they move onto heroic mode. Even if you respec at 70, this is invaluable information.
The second is that you're forced to build your social skills. Learning how to quickly form groups and building a friends list full of skilled players is a huge boon. It's too tempting as Ret and Holy to take the easy route and quest your way to 70, imo.

Winnea had some great points, and I'll just add this: If you want to be a Tankadin, you have to be a self-starter. You really, really need to know your gear, and know how to tank. I would definitely do as much levelling as possible by running instances.ReplyDelete
I ran as much as I could with my guild, but I also ran with PUGs whenever I couldn't get a guild group. I made a lot of friends, some of whom ended up joining my guild. I got the gear I needed, and got invaluable experience.
- Anonymous1:19 PM, March 18, 2008
I agree with everyone else, but i much rather say that it was actually a little tough going from 60-63 as Prot. if you need, have a friend help you quest it makes things allot easier because u wont have those extra's coming after you and then you have to use all your mana to take out 2 mobs.ReplyDelete
I love my lvl70 Prot pally, tanking is the funnest part, and i agree when you start to tank instances it does get you prepaired for Heroic Dungeons. Just make sure if ur prot to have the right gear, because it will deffinetly kill you.
Stop by The Underbog(PvP) sometime, message Evanpally :) Gl!
- Anonymous8:38 AM, May 20, 2008
After reading everyones thoughts and opinions on prot pally leveling i figured id contribute. Ive got ret up until about 64 (current) the i just speced prot and kinda bit the bullet and got some intell/spell damage/stam gear from the AH. Honestly I dont know how I managed being ret and leveling, when now that im prot i find myself soloing about 5-6 guys a pull with no problems. (all about the spell damage for grinding) imo. And ive never had a funner time then tanking instances now. Always been a damage unit but now the prot pallie has opend my eyes! O.o haha. Anywayz It's a real fun spec.ReplyDelete
- Hughbert8:47 AM, April 13, 2009
I'm currently a level 53 Prot Pally attempting to levl to 80, and I was wondering if anyone could clarify for me what type of stats I should be looking for on Armor yo improve my tanking ability? I currently have Strength>Stamina>Intellect>Spell Power, but this is more from the coincidence of picking up gear upgrades than any sort of personal planning. Do I need to reevaluate my Stat priorities?ReplyDelete

Gastroenteritis is an inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract, which includes your stomach and intestines, and is commonly called the "stomach flu." Gastroenteritis usually causes severe symptoms and can even be fatal.
Gastroenteritis is spread by the following two ways:
Many kinds of bacteria cause gastroenteritis, so symptoms can vary. In some types of gastroenteritis, symptoms come on quickly. In others, they don't appear for 24 to 48 hours. Symptoms can range from mild to severe and may include:
Your physician will take a complete health history; be sure to mention any recent trips and what you ate before you became ill. Keep in mind that symptoms may not appear for a day or two after you become infected. You may be asked to provide a sample of your stool. This is sent to a lab for testing. Don't forget to check with your doctor or hospital emergency department to learn the test results. In some cases, you will be asked to see your doctor for follow-up care.

Keystone Task Force: Task force formed to preserve the Keystone Science School
Doug Sims, Lee Henry, Linda Clem, Sherry Strong, Jon Kirkpatrick, Bob Follett and John Fitzgerald
Re: "Keystone Science School striking out on its own," by Jessica Smith, Jan. 4
Recently, the Summit Daily reported on an exciting new venture for Keystone Science School, one of Summit County's most beloved institutions.
As was reported, the school's current parent organization, The Keystone Center (TKC), has experienced financial stresses and, as a result, the TKC Board of Directors has concluded that it is necessary to sell the 23 acre parcel on which Keystone Science School (KSS) resides. A task force of dedicated Summit County volunteers was asked to lead the effort to purchase this property and preserve the Science School. Due to the greater financial picture of the organization, time is of the essence. The task force must raise at least $2.5 million by the end of January to succeed. The group first met in early December and since then, has been successful in raising $1.5 million towards this goal. In just under a month, members of this incredible community have stepped up to the challenge. They've shown all of us what it means to give and support Keystone Science School in this time of great need and opportunity. If the task force is successful, Keystone Science School will become its own independent and locally operated nonprofit organization with the capacity to serve this community long into the future.
We are all a part of the task force for one reason: we believe that the science school makes a difference in this community and in communities far and wide by inspiring youth to think critically, challenge themselves and build confidence to be the leaders of the future. Our own children and grandchildren participate in KSS's programs and we've seen the difference first hand.
The Campaign for KSS is happening now. Time is critical as the task force must be ready to purchase the property by the end of January 2013. The Summit County community is a generous one – the science school and the task force appreciates all of the support through the school's 37 years in existence. At this time, we need your support more than ever to ensure the school's future and its capacity to touch the lives of our children, grandchildren and children of generations to come.
Please consider being a part of preserving the school's legacy. Contact KSS's executive director, Ellen Reid, email@example.com or Development Associate Liz Trower, ltrower@
keystone.org, to provide your support or to get more information. Or visit http://www.keystonescienceschool.org to read the Campaign for KSS Case Statement and Frequently Asked Questions. Donations can also be made online via the website.

National Rifle Association Executive Director Wayne LaPierre told a gathering of conservatives Friday it's time to "stand and fight" for U.S. gun rights.
People at the Conservative Political Action Conference in National Harbor, Md., cheered LaPierre when he said the true aim of the Obama administration is a universal registry of gun owners, The Hill reported.
He said tightening requirements for gun permits is a "placebo" because criminals will ignore the law.
"No matter what the elitists who scorn you say, let them be damned," LaPierre said. "Fill your heart with pride. Clear your eyes with conviction. This is your time to stand and fight."
The Dec. 14 massacre of 20 children and six staffers at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., has created new momentum for gun control.
The killer, Adam Lanza, used weapons legally owned by his first victim, his mother.
"There are only two reasons for the federal government to create a federal registry of gun owners: To tax them or to take them," LaPierre said.
Speaking with reporters aboard Air Force One, White House spokesman Josh Earnest said Friday President Barack Obama "believes in the Second Amendment" and the administration is focused on "moving forward with the implementation of a range of executive actions that the president has committed his administration to take" and working with congressional Republicans and Democrats "to move forward some legislative remedies to this problem."
"A number of these proposals have strong bipartisan support in the Congress," Earnest said.
Citing polling data that a large majority of Americans favor stronger background checks for gun sales, Ernest said there is "no reason we shouldn't be able to act in bipartisan fashion on some commonsense measures that would reduce violence, gun violence in our communities."

Grey's Anatomy Season 9: Will Anyone Else Die?!Steve Marsi at .
With Grey's Anatomy fans still reeling from the eighth season finale of the ABC drama, creator and executive producer Shonda Rhimes has a warning for those mourning the shocking death of a fan favorite:
They are still out there.
In an interview with E! Online, Rhimes said that "everyone is still so immersed in 'Who died?'" that "no one is talking about the thing that I actually think is important and was the point of the [season finale]."
What would that be exactly? You may not be ready for this ...
"They're still out there in the forest, and we don't know if they are going to be OK," she said. "We left it open for a reason because ... I hate to say this, but just because you saw people alive at the end of the finale doesn't mean they're going to be alive when the season starts up."
"We are completely jumping off into the unknown next season."
The unknown is something Rhimes is well familiar with.
The show-runner actually had a second cliffhanger planned and written that reflected her not knowing what would happen next season, regarding the cast's return (they have since signed new contracts).
Up until the day before the table read for the finale, this was up in the air. Then the original cast members re-signed, which "turned the tables" and pointed the eighth season-ender in the direction we witnessed.
The biggest consequence of that direction, obviously, was the death of Lexie Grey. A series regular and fan favorite since the tail end of Grey's Anatomy Season 3, her loss is hard for fans to stomach.
How did Chyler Leigh, who plays Lexie, take the news?
"Stuff that happens inside our family is stuff that happens inside our family," Rhimes said. "I have so much respect for Chyler, and the decision was very hard for everybody involved and I want to respect her privacy."
"The only thing I knew when I started writing the finale was that Chyler was leaving the finale. That was the only information I knew," she says, adding that the cast found out "at the table read."
"It was really, really emotional. Chyler Leigh and I were the only people who knew what was coming for her character. Kim Raver and I were the only ones who knew what was coming for that character."
"Chyler and I had been discussing it for months."
Excerpts from the rest of Rhimes' interview below ...
On the possibility of ghost Lexie: "We saw Denny as a ghost, and people didn't really like that, did they? It was a really hard decision to let that character die versus send her off into the sunset somewhere."
"It was really difficult. It was not made lightly. I don't think we're going to see Lexie Grey ever again. That's not the intention, to see her again. It's a big loss for the characters and it's a big loss for the show."
On her "other plans" for Mark and Lexie: "Honestly, I always felt like Mark and Lexie were meant to be. If things had not turned out the way they had this season, I had a completely different thing planned for them."
"I was one of the people who loved Mark and Lexie together; I had a completely different thing planned for them. The introduction of Julia was part of planning a completely different storyline for them."
"When Mark and Lexie say 'meant to be,' it wasn't about servicing the fans. That's how I felt. That's what was supposed to happen, and that's what I wanted to see. It was heartbreaking."
On Teddy's possible return: "I don't think that's a possibility that has been ruled out. At least not by me. I love Kim. I say to my partner Betsy [Beers] every once in a while, 'We could do a series that's just Med Com.'"
On this being the hardest-ever episode to write: "It was for a variety of different reasons. I questioned it while we were shooting it and I questioned it once I saw the edit for it."
"And then once we got to the soundstage, literally Tuesday, I'm watching the show and I'm still changing the music at the last minute. Because it's so unsettling at the end."
"I think there's something very unsatisfying about the way that it ends ... I like the ride. Doing the shooting episode was really great because while it was gut-wrenching and hard to do, I knew who was OK."
"And in this, we don't know who's OK. We still don't totally know who's OK."
"There's still choices to be made. It is very unsettling. The idea of my Meredith and my Cristina in the wilderness without a match, chewing half a stick of gum each, having each other, while beautiful, was really painful."
"I feel like everyone has the right to have the reaction that they want to have. I think part of the reason why I am staying away from the reaction is I fully get that this is an unsatisfying finale."
"I have to focus on what happens next. Paying attention to fan reaction or going online to see what everyone has to say about it is paying attention to what happened before, and that does not actually help me at this point."
On where we pick up next fall: "I do know where we are going to pick up next season. But I'm not going to talk about it."

This will probably be the only entry for the month, so here're 3 topics for discussion.
HBO series The Newsroom has received a lot of flak since its debut a few months ago. And I mean A LOT. A description that comes up quite often is "sanctimonious". But honestly, I don't comprehend where all this negativity is coming from.
I've been riveted since it premiered on local cable in July. Does it have flaws? Yes. To list a few - regular segments of over-the-top acting ( most glaringly from Dev Patel - someone needs to ask him to tone it down a little ); the occasional pompous line about how great journalists are (usually courtesy of Will McAvoy ); a little too much attention on a certain love triangle ( someone help me understand Maggie's appeal, 'cos I still think Jim is way too good for her ).
Sounds bad? It all depends. I've boycotted shows for much less, but continue to watch The Newsroom religiously for a number of good reasons:
1) Jeff Daniels - as lead character, Will McAvoy, Daniels is superb. Acid-tongued, sharp-minded, with acrobatic verbal skills that put even the Gilmore Girls cast to shame, this role deserved an Emmy nomination but didn't get one. A massive travesty!
2) Will McAvoy - the actor is amazing, but the character is one of the best I've seen on TV. I like to compare him to Brenda Leigh Johnson from The Closer, who's also tough, opinionated and damn good at her job.
But like all compelling figures, a vulnerable soul lurks beneath the hard exterior, and Will's insecurities are exposed surprisingly early, with more nuggets revealed as the show progresses.
The big ones tend to revolve around personal relationships ( actually, don't they all? ), but a few tip their hats to journalism as well.
I'm particularly fond of Will's comment: "I'm tired of people telling me [being cheated on] is a just-get-over-it situation. You don't know what that's like in my head." A kindred spirit! I know EXACTLY how he feels. :)
3) John Gallagher, Jr / Jim Harper - Gallagher won a Tony for playing Moritz in Broadway's Spring Awakening. It's one of my favourite musicals of all time, so woohoo! :)
I ADORE Jim. Sure, there's a lovesick puppy in most TV series, but Gallagher deftly handles the emotional depth, and shows quite a flair for comedy too.
Think George from Grey's Anatomy. I LOVE George!
4) Aaron Sorkin - whatever the critics are saying about his work on The Newsroom, don't listen to them. I honestly don't have a clue why they're so pissed off.
Okay, OTT lines aside, the gems far outnumber the duds. There's a tonne of witty banter packed into each hour-long episode. Sentences spoken at machine-gun speed, quoting statistics, C-SPAN, pop culture, etc.
But the memorable ones? When they come, you'd better be paying attention.
Will: Balance is irrelevant. It has nothing to do with truth, logic or reality.
Charlie ( Sam Waterston ): I thought you got where you were by being fearless.
Leona ( Jane Fonda ): I got where I am by knowing who to fear.
5) The stories - again, critics aren't happy that Sorkin based his writing on events which have already occurred. Again, I ask, what's the big freaking deal?
What matters is how each plot is presented on-screen, and so far, after 7 episodes, there've been at least 3 which were nothing less than AWESOME.
The pilot: how the News Night team scrambled to cover an oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, turning an event which most thought wasn't newsworthy into a headline.
Episode 6: a super-tense investigation of the Fukushima nuclear plant meltdown.
Episode 7: devoted to multiple perspectives related to President Obama's announcement of Osama Bin Laden's death.
If you decide to tune in but end up hating The Newsroom, then I guess it isn't quite right for you.
However, since I tried watching critically acclaimed series like Mad Men, The Sopranos and Boardwalk Empire, and was practically bored to death, accolades no longer matter much to me.
True Blood isn't going to win any major awards ever, but season 5 is its best one yet, and the cast deserves credit for investing so much of themselves in their roles. Is the rampant nudity ruining the show's Emmy chances? Tsk tsk!
Another victim of unfair reviews - The Bourne Legacy. Having trawled through quite a few movie websites this past month, I am appalled by some of the nasty reviews posted. A 1/10 score? This is getting personal...
At least it's still going strong at the box office. Hasn't quite reached the takings of The Bourne Identity, but this bodes well for a sequel.
Picked up from where I left off, almost 3 months ago, following an overdose of Fifty Shades ( read book 1 then went straight into the first half of book 2 - not advisable! ).
Fortunately, Fifty Shades Darker is much more palatable once you get past the halfway mark, mostly because the frivolous outings don't make an appearance ( e.g. helicopter / boat / sports car rides ).
The writing is still laughable, and the sex romps are becoming a tad routine, but plot developments are interesting enough to keep me entertained, and after a gruelling ER shift, reading a novel that doesn't make you think too much is a great way to relax.
No news about the cast yet. Hot favourite Matt Bomer ( White Collar ) remains a top pick for many, but his sexual orientation may be an issue. Not for me though - I had no idea he's gay when I saw him on TV, and am perfectly happy if he's cast as Christian Grey.
The latest bombshell? Harry Potter's Emma Watson is game for the Anastasia Steele role if Ryan Gosling is on board as Christian. I'm all for Gosling, but Emma? Not so much.
The hunt continues...
Next entry will be in October, after I return from a much-needed holiday break. I have a strange feeling about this trip - rest assured it's a good one. Won't know if it comes true until I get back.
Till next time! :)

SANDY, Utah – Real Salt Lake (15-10-7, 52 points, West #1) earned a hard fought point on Saturday night, tying FC Dallas (10-10-11, 41 points, West #8) 1-1 despite going down a man in the 17th minute in front of a sold-out crowd at Rio Tinto Stadium.
Real Salt Lake started brightly, but went down a man in the 17th minute when DF Abdoulie Mansally was shown a straight red card for a foul on Dallas MF Jackson. Despite the numerical disadvantage, Real Salt Lake scored first, going ahead in the 60th minute through FW Alvaro Saborio. Dallas FW Kenny Cooper equalized 12 minutes after Saborio's goal to send both teams home with a point.
The result maintains the Claret-and-Cobalt's position at the top of the Western Conference, one point ahead of second-place Seattle Sounders FC. RSL is one point behind the New York Red Bulls in the Supporters' Shield race. Seattle has two games in hand on both RSL and New York.
Real Salt Lake had a golden opportunity in the fifth minute. MF Javier Morales curled a free kick in from the right flank toward Saborio and strike partner FW Robbie Findley just inside the penalty spot. Unfortunately for RSL, both strikers went for the ball, getting in each other's way before combining for a header that bounced off the turf and over the bar.
Jackson put one off the post for Dallas in the 10th minute. FW Fabian Castillo hit an early ball in from the left wing, finding Jackson at the back post. The Brazilian directed his header across the face of goal, past outstretched RSL GK Nick Rimando and off the left post.
RSL went down a man in the 17th, when Mansally was shown a straight red card for a tackle on Jackson. Referee Hilario Grajeda sent Mansally off after the Gambian international clattered into Jackson on the left side in the FCD half.
Claret-and-Cobalt Head Coach Jason Kreis made a tactical change to adjust for the Mansally red card in the 21st, inserting DF Lovel Palmer for Findley.
Rimando made a huge save in the 34th to keep it scoreless. Dallas got behind the RSL defense for a point blank chance, with Castillo collecting a through ball on the left wing and racing into the area before squaring the ball to a wide open Jackson at the top of the six. The speedy attacker looked poised to put FCD ahead, but Rimando had other ideas, just getting a touch to Jackson's first-time flick from the top of the six to deflect the effort over the bar.
Real Salt Lake started the second half brightly, nearly taking the lead in the 49th minute. Morales slipped a gorgeous through ball to MF Ned Grabavoy in the right side of the area, putting him in for a 1-on-1 with FCD GK Chris Seitz. Grabavoy ran around the ball and put a first time shot on frame, but Seitz came up big, with the former RSL man blocking Grabavoy's eight-yard effort with a fine kick save.
Saborio put the Claret-and-Cobalt ahead in the 60th minute. Rimando started the play, launching a long ball forward that deflected off a Dallas player and toward the FCD goal. Saborio ran onto the opportunity, brilliantly letting the ball ride across his body before half-volleying it inside the left post from 12 yards out.
Dallas equalized in the 72nd minute. Substitute MF Je-Vaughn Watson got free in the left side of the area, putting a ball across the goalmouth that rolled past an onrushing Rimando and found Cooper at the back post. The substitute striker took a touch and slotted home from close range, finishing past a scrambling RSL defense.
Both sides pushed for a winner in the game's final 15 minutes, with Dallas exerting its numerical advantage to hold more of the run of play. Neither side was able to create any clear cut opportunities however, with the game ending in a draw.
Real Salt Lake is on a bye next week. The Claret-and-Cobalt will return to action two weeks from tonight, taking on Western Conference foe Portland Timbers at JELD-WEN Field.

Real Salt Lake Match Notes – RSL1-1 DAL
- Tonight's match was RSL's seventh sellout of the MLS regular season at Rio Tinto Stadium. The capacity crowd of 20,488 marked the third-straight MLS sellout at the Sandy facility.
- RSL would've clinched its berth in the 2013 MLS Cup Playoffs with a win tonight. The draw will force RSL to look to its upcoming match against the Portland Timbers on Oct. 19 as its next chance to qualify for the postseason. RSL's current streak of five consecutive MLS Cup Playoff berths is the longest active run of postseason qualification in the league. A sixth-consecutive postseason qualification would tie RSL for the second longest such streak in MLS history with the New York Red Bulls (Six years; 2003-2008), trailing only the New England Revolution (Eight years; 2002-2009).
- With tonight's draw, RSL remains in first-place in the Western Conference with a total of 52 points, one point ahead of Seattle Sounders FC. The Claret-and-Cobalt remains competitive in the Supporters' Shield race, currently sitting in second-place, one point behind league-leading New York.
- RSL recorded its sixth red card of the season when RSL DF Abdoulie Mansally was given a straight red in the 17th minute for a late tackle on Dallas' Jackson. It also marked the second red card seen against FC Dallas this season, with MF Yordany Alvarez earning the first in RSL's 2-0 loss at FCD on March 23.
- RSL MF Javier Morales received a yellow card in the 69th minute of tonight's match. Morales will be suspended for the Claret-and-Cobalt's match at Portland on Oct. 19 due to yellow card accumulation.
- Tonight was RSL FW Alvaro Saborio's first appearance in an MLS match in over a month after missing RSL's losses to Seattle on Sept. 13 and San Jose on Sept. 21 due to an injury suffered while on international duty with Costa Rica. His goal in the 60th minute was his 11th of the year (66th for RSL), moving him into a three-way tie for sixth-place in the Budweiser Golden Boot standings.
- RSL MF Luis Gil played the full 90 minutes tonight after missing Tuesday's Open Cup Final loss following an emergency appendectomy on Sunday night.
- Real Salt Lake is now 9-15-5 against FC Dallas in MLS regular season and MLS Cup Playoff games. The Claret-and-Cobalt holds an 8-4-3 at home against the Hoops
- FC Dallas GK Chris Seitz started in net tonight, filling in for an injured Raul Fernandez. Seitz was initially drafted into the league by RSL as the No. 3 overall pick in the 2007 MLS SuperDraft out of the University of Maryland. Seitz recorded his first-ever win and shutout in MLS play with RSL in its 1-0 win over Kansas City in August, 2009. RSL traded Seitz to the Philadelphia Union after winning the 2009 MLS Cup, with Seitz eventually landing in Dallas prior to the 2011 season.
