GDB V: The come up
October 12 2009 03:50PM
Oh snap Puffy! The 47 coaches, 23 management types and two psychics involved in every single decision for the mighty Oil have elected to start JDD tonight against the Preds. Nevermind that the Oilers have won only one of their last 10 games in Nashville. It's time to roll out le JDD and cue the come up.
For the unititiated, the come up is technically defined as "on the way to mastering a skill or trade." In reality the come up is the point in a plot line where a heretofore bit player gets his or her chance to shine in the big time. Remember that scene where Rudy finally takes the field at the end of a long career on the practice roster? That right there is the come up, even if it is a little late:
We are hardly suggesting that JDD is Dan Ruettiger. First of all they look nothing alike, and we totally think that JDD would have made the Fighting Irish in the mid 1970s if he had just put his mind to it. No, instead we are referring to one of the many instances in the life of an athlete bordering on the big time, where he has the ability to take the reins in his career.
See our friend JDD is at a bit of a crossroads. Drafted 31st overall by the Oilers in 2002, he has seen a whopping 10 games in the NHL since then. During that time he has played for eight different teams (thank you once again for that multi year complete lack of dedicated AHL squad Oilers) and though certainly not washed up at the age of 25, he isn't exactly on the fast track to become a starter in the NHL.
But things look better than they used to
With an aging Khabibulin recently signed to a 12 year contract and knowing that he is one of the most oft-injured goalies in the NHL, our man JDD must be cautiously optimistic about his slim chances to be an NHL starter slightly improving of late. Had the Oilers gone out and signed a work horse of a starting goalie for the next 6 seasons, one would have to assume that the chances of JDD ever getting the job with the Oilers would have fallen to nearly zero.
But with the introduction of a 36 year old goalie that optimistically hopes to see 60 games per season, the door has opened for JDD to walk in and put his stamp on 20-24 games per year. With an NHL career record of (4-3-0), a GAA of 3.33 and save % of .901, there is little to suggest that JDD isn't capable of handling these duties. But you can best believe that if he is unable to deliver the goods – and quick – Pat Quinn and Tom Renney will be looking for someone else to bring the thunder in a backup role to Monsieur Booleen.
Which brings us to tonight's game against the Preds
You know that there is a lot of hockey left in the season for a fragile starting goalie when the coaching staff are willing to potentially burn a road game against Nashville by starting the backup goaltender against a good Predators team. The Oilers have only won once in the past ten games at the Sommet Center and will be looking to do so without the help of Super Stud defenseman Sheldon Souray on the back end.
Opinion on the Oilers is starting to point North of "this team is garbage" as evidenced by positive articles popping up in the MSM, such as the Dan Barnes article in the Edmonton Journal this morning. Dan Barnes talks about how "there is more promise in (the Oilers') play than there are points in the standings, but the essence of these Oilers is in other, better, more surprising numbers." Articles such as these by a rarely fooled guy like Barnes point to the start of some momentum to the Oilers, a welcome sight in a season that could have been over by the 20 game mark if they stumbled out of the gate. But as any Oilers fan who watched the Titanician season last year can attest, early promise can be snuffed out all too quickly.
Which brings us back to JDD getting the start tonight
Yep, you are the man tonight Jeff. Play well and you too can lay claim to some early season momentum. Come out and play a whale of a game, suddenly the Oilers have a lot more confidence in a Plan B if the Bulin wall is not ready to go. But have things start poorly and you can bet that a great many Oilers fans will be wringing their hands and yelling about the need for "a real backup goaltender. " Nashville isnt exactly rolling four lines at the moment, relying on the top line of Arnott, Hornqvist and Steve Sullivan to score 5 of the 6 goals the team has potted to date. So it would seem that shutting down the first line could get our man JDD a win in his first game of the season and set the table for the first half of the year.
Good luck to you Sir.
All the very best.
Update: The game is at 6 PM not 8 PM. No matter what our scoreboard tells you. If we knew how to change it we would, but there you go.
Love, Wanye
Keep em out tonite big guy, vive les Oilers!

It's GAME DAY!!! Is it 6:08pm yet? GOILERS!
October 12 2009, 04:29PM
Oilers: 3 - Hemsky, Comrie, Penner Preds: 1 - Staios
October 12 2009, 04:31PM
Barnes article? HA! Silly Wanye, everybody knows these types of columns are written with the exrpess intent of triggering a faceplant by the subject of same. An experienced journalist writes this kind of column when meaty material is thin or optimism is too high. Penning it requires only a combination of chicken blood, an old Lisa Bonet poster, a wicked hangover and a functioning laptop -- all of which a seasoned scribe such as Barnes has at the ready. Tap this baby off while throwing in a couple of hoogida-boogidas, and it's off the tracks, baby. "Is Quinn the right man for the job?" column to come.

@Robin Brownlee
Don't sound so bitter Brownlee. It was a good read and it filled up print space.
October 12 2009, 04:46PM
God I hope JDD shines tonight, or that slightly sick feeling I get when 'Bhulin wiffs in the odd goal starts tpgrow into a full blown brain meltdown.
PLEASE kick some ass JDD.
(and the rest of the Oil...please play some HARD defense)
October 12 2009, 04:47PM
**to grow**
damn fingers!!!
October 12 2009, 04:49PM
And here we go!! Oilers 3, Predators 1. JDD will prove that he is a worthy back up and the own goals will be kept to a minimum. By the way, does anyone know if the game can be found on the Internet?
October 12 2009, 04:52PM
Oilers: 3 - Hemsky, Comrie, Penner Preds: 1 - Staios
I had to read that a couple of times before it made sense. Hilarious!
I'm predicting a tough and chippy 3-2 Oilers win. All I really want to see tonight though is for Stone to stamp a 'Tootoo Tattoo' into the boards.
October 12 2009, 04:53PM
25 years old, who cares, Delorean can travel back in time!
So if we let the tying goal in with less than a minute to go, don't be surprised to see Delorean's pads light on fire as he hits 88mph skating toward center ice, and then BOOM, suddenly we're back in 1985... and as an Oiler fan, thats a hell of a good year.
October 12 2009, 04:54PM
does anyone know if the game can be found on the Internet?

NHL GameCenter is free until Oct.24 although good luck finding that on the NHL site (at least I didn't see it). Found the link below elsewhere. Worked good - watched the Kings-NYI game this afternoon.
(I don't know if we are supposed to post links but this is legit so here goes)
@Librarian Mike
Is Tootoo injured and out for the game Tnight?
October 12 2009, 05:14PM
Skidmark: Don't sound so dense. You didn't get it? Really?
For the amount of times atdhe.net gets mentioned, you guys should just post a link titled "Watch hockey online" or something. When the Oilers come whining, the worst you'd have to do is take the link down.
Anyways...3-2 Oilers. Could easily go the other way though.
October 12 2009, 05:17PM
oops. the link I posted was not complete. here is the link:
October 12 2009, 05:21PM
I thought TooToo is out for tonights game? Hemsky and Gagner should be able to breathe alot easier!
October 12 2009, 05:27PM
Or just pony up and get the NHL package, its worth the $180.00 for phuck sakes!
October 12 2009, 05:38PM
@ Librarian Mike, @ChiliChunk @Oilersordeath
Thanks for the info. I always buy the NHL Package, but I do it for the last part of the season when the price goes down. The game intensity always goes up as the games mean more.
Anyway, here's hoping for a good game by JDD and another Oiler win or point pick up. I just hope the "own goals" situation fades away. If not, I propose we write a letter to Quinn sugesting that the players have to write a 500 word essay on "why own goals" are bad"....AND NO DOUBLE SPACE!!!
October 12 2009, 05:49PM
Umm, if it's 500 words, why does it matter if it's double spaced or not? It's the same length and the same amount of work...
HELLO NATION!!!! It's been awhile, I've missed you guys....even you Brownlee. LETS GO OILERS!!!

Welcome old friend. Lets party.
October 12 2009, 06:11PM
I'm glad JDD isn't wearing the bright oranges. That would have been bad.
Holy sweet crap look at Storts chuckin em!
Stortini's girlfriend must have gotten mad at him for hugging so many guys last season, because he's actually chucking knuckles
October 12 2009, 06:13PM
What the hell is Gilbert doing?????
October 12 2009, 06:14PM
Well, no sense in making it easy for JDD
This has the potential for a chippy game
October 12 2009, 06:17PM
Holy crap that is a big Ad for Bud Light behind JDD. MAking me thirsty....
I can't find a link thats showing the game, anyone able to help?
October 12 2009, 06:19PM
October 12 2009, 06:20PM
pretty tough to miss that muffin pass.
I hope some of you are watching the Nashville feed.
Reporter asked Trotz what the key to the game was for Preds and he said it was to manage "Edmontons tremendous power-play"
Whoever runs the scouting report for Nashville is on meth or should be looking for a new gig.
October 12 2009, 06:20PM
That was actually a Zack attack. Horcoff doesn't fan on the Hemsky one timer?
it's not meth, it's country music...It turns your brains to mush and makes you wanna kick your dog and sleep with your sister

How's she doing by the way? oh hello BRULE!!!!!
Thats the Penner we need!
holy crap, Penner and Hemmer are somehow transferring skills!!!
October 12 2009, 06:26PM
The Oilers picked up some new fast guy wearing #27. I like him. I think he's my star.
She got fired from her job and is a dead end relationship and broke and addicted to marijauana, but other than that, she's great
October 12 2009, 06:29PM
You can't be addicted to Weed....
but uh I am not really interested.... Kind of a rhetorical question really.
well anyway, it's starting to look like circus circus is out of the question, and maybe just a city hall wedding...I'm so proud

Response To "worse Than Conair" PersonI noticed your comments and just had to respond. Most hair dryers have the one of three wattages..so that has nothing to do with how good the dryer is. Second, a dryer doesnt tangle anyones hair, your hair is probably dry, therefore tangly..you need a good deep conditioner. Third the weight of the dryer is 1.2 lbs. so if that is causing you an hour of pain afterward..you may need to see a doctor because that is practically the lightest dryer I have ever heard of in my years as a stylist.Last, there is no reason you should dry your hair on low unless touching up or doing bangs..so just turn it up!!! Truth is,a dryer is good if it does what you need it to do.Price, name brand, makes no difference. I found your review overly dramatic and very amusing. Dont mean this to offend, but I just had to comment on how over the top your review was. I like the Chi blower..because they will give you a new one if you keep your receipt and that is good enough for me.Dont buy the T 3 products or babyliss they are crap.Feb 28, 2009Angie / Orlando Florida

Best Choice!I just started using dryiers to do my hair, so im no expert, but my first one was a conair. it was ok but so heavy and big!this one doesnt weight as much and its small and powerful.I changed the conair for this one after a couple of months of using it, and even though im not as experience in blow drying my own hair, i really love how it leaves my hair. and i dont feel like its damaging my hair.also it doesnt leave it freeze, like with the conair.my hair is very thick. and its naturally wavy.I really recomend this one!Feb 26, 2009Ceci

Love ItFor the past few months, I have been determined to get my hair to look and feel like it does when I leave the salon. I use all the same products and the same drying techniques. Then I upgraded my hairdryer and this made a big difference. My hair is silky and has so much more shine. It really does help reduce the friz big time. I dont like where the cool button is, its easy to hit it, so Ive just had to train my hand to hold the hairdryer another way. And the only other thing I dont agree with (as far as the advertising) is the drying time. I had a brand new Conair hairdryer and it takes me just as long to dry my hair with the Sedu. But my hairdresser spends even more time. I also got a $35 round brush from this site that helps a lot too. Goes to show you - you get what you pay for! Thanks Sedu!Feb 24, 2009Lauren / Tallahassee, FL

DisappointedI really wanted to like this hairdryer. I found that it was not all it was cracked up to be. It left my hair very limp even when using it on the regular setting. The ionic setting was a joke. I highly suggest if you have fine hair to stick with a regular hairdryer not one of these so called fancy ones. My $30 Remington works better than any Ive tried so far.Feb 24, 2009Sue / CT

Great HairdryerI bought a 50.00 dryer on this site, & was disappointed. I was hestitant to spend 150.00 on this one. But after reading reviews I went for it & Im glad I did. I have med. thickness, but very course hair that loves to soak up water. This took my 20 minute drying time to 10 minutes & my hair is so smooth with out smoothing lotion. It has been a month and no regrets.Feb 22, 2009Anon

I Wanted To Love This Dryer, But I'm Going Back To My T3I have been using the T3 Evolution for a couple years now and my hair ALWAYS looked great. I have pretty thick wavy hair and will get frizzy at the first sign of humidity. The T3 would dry my hair in 10 minutes or less and leave it perfectly straight and shiny. I guess i had been wrapping the cord too tight around it and I ended up breaking it. T3 wouldnt fix it with out the original receipt that I lost so I was out of luck and decided to try a new one. The Sedu got such great reviews so I decided to give it a go. From the first day I was disappointed. It takes much longer to straighten my hair and my hair doesnt even come out straight or shiny. I have to use more product and now I have to whip out my iron. After 2 months of using it I decided I need the T3 back so Im losing money on this one and switching.Feb 21, 2009Liz

Overpriced But Works WellI purchased this dryer for the compact size and power. I have very thick hair, and I need a dryer to work fast. It takes about 8 minutes for me to dry my shoulder length hair with this dryer. My old dryer (BaByliss Pro Ceramix Xtreme) dried it in the same amount of time and costs about $38 on Folica. The only thing I absolutely love about this dryer is the ionic setting - it really does leave your hair silky and does not dry it out. The nozzle gets extremely hot, so you dont want to touch it while working or after youve turned it off. All in all, I am very happy with the product, but I think it should cost at least $75 less than what it sell for.Feb 18, 2009Amanda / Edmonton, AB

Fast And EffectiveThis dryer was worth the money. I had never paid this high a price for a hair dryer but my stylist said I needed a better dryer to duplicate the results she got at the salon. She was right. It is extremely fast. With my old dryer, I hated using it because it took so long and made me so hot. This one dries my thick hair in a quarter of the time and it looks straighter and shinier.Feb 16, 2009Sammy / Houston, TX

Average Results For The Price!I am not sure why I experienced such a different result from the other reviewers but this hair dryer was just average. I have fine, long hair and using this hair dryer left my hair limp, frizzy and tangled. I used it with the ions switched on and off with the same results. It also felt heavy and slightly unbalanced for the size of the hair dryer. It did dry my hair fast. Maybe a minute or two faster than the mini Babyliss Pro TT that I have. It definitely wasnt worth the price for me.Jan 30, 2009Anonymous

Whoa!I was very hesitant to spend so much money on a blowdryer, but it was worth every penny. I have thick, long hair that used to take 45-50 minutes to straighten...with the help of a flat iron. Now it takes me 20 minutes and I dont need a flat iron! I highly recommend it!Jan 26, 2009Dee / NY, NY

Match to forget for Canadian women's volleyball team
TARAPOTA, Peru – After some encouraging performances, Canada's national women's volleyball team provided a subpar performance in a 25-22, 25-17, 25-19 loss on Thursday night to Peru in the fourth match of a series between the two world championship-bound teams
Peru took the opening match Monday in five sets and it was another close battle Tuesday. Both Peru and Canada, ranked 17th and 24th in the world respectively, are currently tuning up for the FIVB women's world volleyball championships set for October 29 to November 14 in Japan.
The Canadians started Thursday's match well but were deflated after squandering a 22-19 lead in the first set.
"I am very disappointed with the way we lost tonight," said Canada's head coach Arnd Ludwig. "At the end of the first set we made four unforced errors which cost us. The second set started like the first one ended with individual errors. We fought back in the third set but in the end we didn't play well."
Tiffany Dodds of Lucky Lake, Sask., was Canada's top scorer with six points while Tonya Mokelki of Weyburn, Sask., added five.
Canada is the midst of an 18-day tour and closes out its series against Peru on Saturday before concluding the trip in Costa Rica.

Can Appropriate Artist Credit Co-exist With Tumblr And Buzzfeed?
Last week, cartoonist Rachel Dukes posted some eye-opening statistics to her Tumblr about a comic she made about what life as a cat owner is like. She originally published the comic with a copyright notice and a URL to her website. That version of the comic has been seen about 81,600 times.
Another version, from which someone removed the URL and copyright info, has been seen nearly 600,000 times, mostly on Tumblr and Facebook. This problem of lack of credit is one that lots of artists have dealt with and quite a few have talked about over the past several years, but it continues to persist. It makes me wonder if there could be some kind of fix.

Alive-Alive-O! brings together a steaming "live" session recorded at the Roundhouse, London, on February 19, 1978, with several interesting studio sides made originally as warm-ups or demos. Closing out the album is Ballad Of The Faithful Departed. An acoustic version of the Ghostown classic, it would later be recorded by Moving Hearts, Christy Moore solo and the Radiators' Phil Chevron accompanied by Elvis Costello. Though Chevron's later group The Pogues played it "live", they never recorded it.Many of the sides are covers of existing songs (The Flamin' Groovies' Teenage Head and Shake Some Action are just two), as befits a garage repertoire for a newly-emerging band. Others are "live" versions of originals that formed part of the band's first studio album TV Tube Heart.
Compiled jointly by Phil Chevron and Ace's Roger Armstrong, Alive-Alive-O! offers additional "live" and recorded insights into the group that the Melody Maker's Carol Clerk says produced in Ghostown "one of the most important and enduring LPs in my life... outrageously masterful stuff.

Third trip to Haiti: inspiring projects on La Gonave
I just got back from the Haitian island of La Gonave (lagonav in Creole) after 8 days there visiting people who work on projects we help to fund. I'm glad to be home, because this is where I live and I missed toast with jam, my dog, and not being sticky sweaty all the time. Still, it was a wonderful trip and full of things to get excited about.
I first visited Haiti in 2010, about 3 months after the big earthquake hit the main island and killed more than 250,000 people, primarily in Port Au Prince. I went to La Gonave, 35 miles off the coast of Haiti, on a trip that was planned before the earthquake and which had nothing to do with the acute worsening of misery associated with the widespread destruction of the main island's marginal infrastructure. La Gonave was definitely affected by the earthquake, but nobody was killed, mainly due to the fact that there were very few large buildings and very few people inside in the late afternoon in the few places that did collapse. Poorly constructed houses did fall down or become uninhabitable, so some people were homeless or had to live in rickety structures of wood or palm leaves or in cramped quarters of their extended families or in chicken coops.
Many were anxious or grieving because of the loss of friends or family members in Port Au Prince. People came to the island from Port Au Prince to get away from the destruction, with injuries, needing food and water and medical care, but by the time we got there most had gone home and life was returning to its baseline.
Baseline for La Gonave is very rural. It is about 8 by 25 miles and is home to about 200,000 people, most of whom live in the main town of Anse a Galet. There is very little tourism, and almost all of the non-Haitian faces belong to aid workers of some sort or another, and there are very few of those.
We visited a community in the mountains above Anse a Galet, 6 miles away, though it takes 1.5 hours by truck due to terrible roads. In the mountains there is no running water, no electricity and very little cash economy. The island was once a tropical paradise, I hear, but the French and then the Haitians deforested it and when it was brown and ugly, sent undesirable people there to suffer. There is very little in the way of government programs. Apparently it is possible to get a policeman to come eventually if something happens, but I have never seen a policeman. There is a hospital in the main town which is charitably funded by Episcopals, I think, and is slimly staffed. It is beyond the financial means of most of the people who live there, and so they get very little medical care. Foreign aid groups such as World Vision provide for some services like vaccination, but a minority of people are able to access care.
Human beings are amazing, though. Put them on a brown hot deforested island and they make communities, build schools, grow gardens, organize for the rights of women and children, and make music. The people who live on La Gonave descended almost entirely from African slaves. Their common language became Haitian Creole, which combines a kind of phonetic French with words from English and other languages.
After France recognized Haiti's independence, the country was saddled by crippling debt to both the U.S. and France, hindering its ability to become economically viable. Haiti has also had terrible and cruel leadership for decades, and political unrest and official corruption has resulted in very poor infrastructure, despite huge amounts of aid which pours in on the heels of the various disasters (hurricanes, droughts, earthquakes) which befall them. La Gonave gets only a very tiny amount of that aid, though in the 2 years since I was last there, a UK based charity, Concern Worldwide, has built over 100 deep water pumps which have drastically improved everyday life for people who spent hours a day fetching a few gallons of water from the few springs scattered around the island.
Church organizations give some money to support churches and schools that have a religious mission. The most energetic of young people make their way to Port Au Prince for education and then to the U.S., wiring money home to families, which bolsters the tiny, cash-based economy of the island. There are essentially no exports, except sometimes fruit or fish, which go to Port Au Prince. It is a subsistence culture, but it is also green and beautiful, and safe and welcoming to someone like me.
My thoughts in visiting La Gonave have evolved significantly since I first visited. I initially supposed that I should just bring as much medicine and medical testing equipment as was practical because I was sure to see lots of people dying because of lack of medical care. It turns out that there was some ill health, but more just discomforts of being human and working really hard, and there was very little I could treat. The sickly die in childhood, those who are left are pretty tough.
Older folks couldn't really get to where I was, and many people who might have been helped by my services, like those with hypertension and diabetes, would have needed those services long term for me to have done any good. I did save a goat who was sick and maybe a baby who had pneumonia survived due to an antibiotic I gave her, but I was unable to do anything for the woman with advanced breast cancer or the one with the non-healing wound, or the grandmas whose blood pressures were upwards of 200/140.
There are drug dispensaries on the island, with various medications which might be useful, but people can rarely afford even the very reasonable prices for these. What really improves the lives of people in developing countries (the U.S., around the industrial revolution, was a good example) is clean water. Diarrhea, mostly transmitted by contaminated drinking water, kills more babies than any other disease. In Haiti, AIDS also kills people, and starvation is a significant part of the disease syndromes that shorten peoples' lives. Anything I might do for my Haitian friends would tend to be temporary, but anything they can do for themselves sustainably might make a long term difference. This time I focused on projects that could be made to be sustainable, without unacceptable long term financial support from aid agencies or our Haitian focused nonprofit, Paloma Institute.
We provide some financial support and ongoing intellectual collaboration with a group of master gardeners and community leaders called JLLP (jaden legim selavi paysen, vegetable gardens are the life of the people.) They, in turn, support gardeners, a school, education and sanitation projects and do some micro-lending for various other community projects. During this visit we walked through several gardens which were much larger and more lush and productive than they were the last time we visited, and brought some gardening equipment which is not available there. Transporting seeds to Haiti is theoretically strictly regulated, but vegetable seeds are what they need most, so I may or may not have brought various organic and non-genetically-modified-organism seeds of the type that grow well in a hot humid environment.
One of the master gardeners, Eligene Deravil, is particularly knowledgeable and devoted to garden experimentation and educating other people who want to have successful gardens. He has a huge garden with beautiful compost piles, grows 3 crops per year and has 3 people who work for him. He was a very poor child, a restavek (domestic slave) when he was small, but is self-motivated, unselfish and tireless in all the projects I've seen him take on. It is inspiring to watch him work.
We also try to mentor people in art and craft projects, because most people have very little ability to make money, are very motivated to create things, and La Gonave could sure use an export. We worked with women who were making beaded jewelry and purses out of recycled waste to find items that would potentially sell to U.S. consumers.
There is clay, and we worked to find a good source and have, in past trips, explored sustainable pit firing, but have been hindered by lack of good quality material in the area we visit. One man, though, took the clay idea and created a form out of the rather crumbly clay that is easy to find and began to make vessels out of concrete. He was excited about creating large sturdy buckets to be used as composting toilets. He was able to make a very solid and culturally acceptable container during this visit which can be used by families who can't afford a pit toilet, and which can be covered while composting begins, then used as humanure compost for gardens. This will require ongoing experimentation, but in any case is an improvement on what those families do now, which is to poop on the ground, without regard to groundwater contamination or hygiene. He could make one of these for $5 U.S. dollars, which is affordable to people there, and we gave him some startup money to make some to give away to families with no money. He will eventually paint them, and perhaps have deluxe models that will sell for more money to families that are more financially comfortable.
My traveling companion does wild animal rehabilitation at home and we both keenly feel the tragedy of the domestic creatures who get even less TLC than their poorly fed owners. It is fine to be a chicken in La Gonave, since there are plenty of bugs and nobody cares where you wander. Eventually you become food, but it is in everybody's best interested that you be treated well and kept comfortable before that happens. It is not so good to be a dog. Dogs are dependent on humans for food, and there are very few scraps, and nobody has ever heard of dog food. Puppies routinely starve after they are weaned and this is part of the ecology of the place since there is no doggy birth control. Goats do pretty well, much like the chickens, though they are tied up to keep them from raiding peoples' gardens. Donkeys have the worst lives. They exist only to carry heavy loads so it is not necessary that they be treated with any kind of consideration beyond that which keeps them on their overburdened feet.
There are people trained in animal medicine, not real vets, but people with training. One of our friends had attended a 2 year animal medicine course given by the aid organization World Vision, but had had little opportunity to use his skills. We came upon a donkey with a saddle sore that was so severe that it was liable to have ended in the animal's painful death before too long. We were able to give him $20 to buy some standard veterinary pharmaceuticals and then give the donkey a little love and debridement, some penicillin and worm medicine and a chance to live a few more years. The owner got a chance to have a functional donkey again and some education in animal care, the under-employed animal medicine technician got practice and publicity, and stories like this travel. We had another such patient in a couple of days, with more people wanting to see how to care for it, and maybe some good will come of all of this.
Birth control and safe sex are vitally important in the developing world and are very tricky due to cultural norms and deeply believed misinformation. I had a terrific translator, a man who had worked in the U.S. for 9 years before being deported due to a visa violation. His understanding of the language and culture made it possible for him to translate not only what I said, but what I meant, and his winning personality made people hear a message that they might have tended to reject. I gave a talk to about 30 people, many of them community leaders, about how wonderful condoms are, and gave out about 1,000 very attractive but quite inexpensive (for me, I bought them in bulk online) condoms for distribution. We talked about AIDS, unwanted pregnancy, the way they work and that they don't break and go to your heart and kill you. I talked about personal experiences and people laughed and had a good time. Condoms are not hard to get, and many organizations are set up to provide these free of charge if there is demand. In my tiny way, I hope to create demand, which will mean that use of condoms will be potentially sustainable without me. At the very least, we talked about sex in a way that was open and honest and the 1,000 condoms represent 1,000 opportunities to not get pregnant or contract a sexually transmitted disease.
The visit also offered an opportunity to learn about schools in rural Haiti. There are many. They are usually not free. The cost per year is $25-$30 USD, and most parents pay this. There are no standards for teaching, and beating and yelling at students is common. Sexual contact between male teachers and female students is frowned upon but not unusual. There is a standardized test at the sixth grade level, which has some influence on the content of what is taught. Haitian Creole is the language used in most schools up until third grade, French thereafter. Some schools are religious and are supported by churches outside of the country. Schools sometimes pay teachers a little bit, but teachers often work for nothing but the promise of someday being paid and the opportunity to have a job in their community. Schools really want money from outside because it is very difficult to make a school self-sustaining.
Students learn better if they are fed, and making beans and rice for everybody in a small school costs a lot of money. School supplies are less expensive in Haiti than in the U.S., but in La Gonave they are in short supply, as are books. It is hard to know, as an outsider, which schools deserve supporting. We talked to the leaders of several schools in our area about forming a school district to share resources and ideas, and our translator expressed his desire to start a program to teach adults skills such as teaching and translating so that the quality of education could improve. In our area many of the schools incorporate teaching gardening and crafts so that students might develop practical skills. Education is key to allowing these rural poor children to have real choices in their lives and so we will try to support their efforts.
I saw very few actual patients, since I didn't advertise my visit that way, but did see some. An old woman with a stroke provided an opportunity to talk about high blood pressure prevention and treatment. Hypertension is common in older Haitians and results in the usual complications that we see in the U.S. Regular treatment with medications is usually not affordable, but high salt diet and late life obesity are modifiable risk factors.
Painful knees and backs from hard work on steep terrain with heavy loads were common, and people were grateful for a few aspirins, since over the counter medications are hard to find and expensive. I saw a couple of people who truly needed acute medical care, a baby with probable malaria and a young woman with a severe leg infection, and recommended immediate transfer to the hospital in Anse a Galet, but I have no idea what happened. Both patients would have been hospitalized immediately in the U.S. I was able to do a few ultrasounds with my handheld machine, and everyone loved looking at babies, who were appropriately positioned and appeared to be healthy. These procedures were primarily to open up conversation about healthy pregnancy, and ultrasound always seems to have the ability to make people appreciate their bodies. I would love to do a more widespread screening for hypertension and cardiac disease, but would prefer to do this as part of a larger effort that might potentially include treatment. I would also need easy access to an electrical outlet, which I did not have.
I'm home now, glad to eat toast with jam and wear thick wool socks and sweaters. E-mail will allow me to see some of the projects that happen in La Gonave, and the miracle of wire transfers will make possible contributions from me and other people who find this stuff inspiring.
Janice Boughton, MD, ACP Member, practiced in the Seattle area for four years and in rural Idaho for 17 years before deciding to take a few years off to see more places, learn more about medicine and increase her knowledge base and perspective by practicing hospital and primary care medicine as a locum tenens physician. She lives in Idaho when not traveling. Disturbed by various aspects of the practice of medicine that make no sense and concerned about the cost of providing health care to every American, she blogs at Why is American Health Care So Expensive?, where this post originally appeared.

Thanks for what you're doing for La Gonave. Very interesting place. I'd be interested in where in the mountains you're working. Always good to compare contacts.
I have been there five times in four years and always find it an amazing place.
Oh, and the hospital in Anse-a-Galets is Wesleyan (Methodist).

Hi David--It would be great to see another doctor when I am there, if our visits overlap. We visit Bwa Nwa and the communities around it. I knew that about the Wesleyan Hospital, but somehow I have it wrong in my head. Thanks for reminding me.

Actually not a physician. A journalist by profession, but in Haiti as part of a long-standing twin parish relationship. Mostly do technology and bridge-building (in the figurative sense) between the two communities, here and there. We try to help underwrite large portions of a 1,000-child school in Anse-a-Galets.
Not familiar with Bwa Nwa, but there are so many little villages and the maps are lacking. Just tried to google for it and only found your national anthem video and a couple of references related to it being an hour's walk from Manetwa. Covers lots of territory.
I'm not sure if I'll be making it in February this year, but if not then likely in June and November. Ping me here when you're going back or drop a note to david.c.fritz (at) gmail.com.

Virginia Gov. Candidate Cuccinelli Asks Supreme Court to Revive Ban on Oral, Anal Sex
Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli, the GOP's nominee for governor, filed an appeal on Tuesday asking the Supreme Court to revive the state's law banning oral and anal sex. In a statement, Cuccinelli claimed that the law, which the US Court of Appeals for the 4th Circuit ruled unconstitutional earlier this year, is "an important tool that prosecutors use to put child molesters in jail." Cuccinelli warned that the appeals court's decision to strike down the statute "threatens to undo convictions of child predators that were obtained under this law" since 2003, when the Supreme Court ruled in Lawrence v. Texas that laws criminalizing oral and anal sexsometimes referred to as sodomy bansare unconstitutional.

"These shoes are very cute and stylish. They run a bit narrow; however they will stretch with wear. The only downside is that the soles are slippery. There were a few times I had to catch myself from slipping. Can't really scrape the soles because they are thin."

Volleyball Canada has lost a champion.
Volleyball Canada is sad to announce that Ian Fowler, City of Moncton's General Manager of Economic Development, Tourism & Culture, and member of Volleyball Canada's National Championships Committee since 2009 has passed away on November 5th, 2011. Ian was a visionary who always found ways to make things happen despite obstacles. From being instrumental in transforming Magnetic Hill into a concert hub to bringing major sporting events to the City of Moncton. Ian had big plans for the City of Moncton. He was also one of the key individuals who are working on the 2012 Canadian Open to ensure that it will be a first class event.
Ian will be greatly missed and will always be a part of the Volleyball Canada family. We send our most sincere condolences to his family and friends.

Gets Very HotI have fine hair with a pronounced but erratic wave pattern, and I need something to just smooth out the waves and curve the ends under. I have a Conair dryer brush tool that I've had some success with, but it's too large for my now short hair, so, based on the reviews here I tried this product. The H3000 has three settings, high, low, and cool. As far as I can tell, the difference between the low and high setting is only in the air flow, because with either setting the barrel gets very hot within seconds. So, rather than smooth my hair and gently curve it, it introduces a tight curl. The cool setting unfortunately has a very high air flow, so that whatever styling I've done next to the area I'm working on is completely ruined by the wind-tunnel blast coming from the brush. (Also, this has the same problem I've found with all of these dryer brushes, in that the small size is too small and the large size is too large for medium short hair. )Jan 19, 2012Louise C.HAIR TYPEFine or Thin Hair

Did Not Get Hot.This was the worst that I have ever had and I think I have purshased at least 4 in the past.
This product did not get hot. My hair was so frizzly and damp at the root.

What A Terrific Find!!I love this hot air brush. I have very thin, limp, and completly straight hair (beaded hair). I started using Nexxus Diametress Luscious Volumizing Shampoo, only a small amount of rinse to the ends (due to making my hair too soft), a root lifter, and volumizing mouse. Now I've got "big" hair! It even stays big, thick, and curled while going out on a rainy day. I used a hot air brush many years ago, and like I read in many reviews for other hot air brushes, they don't get hot enough. Well, this gets very hot and is so easy and fast. I put up my blow dryer, curling brush, and curling iron, because I don't need them any longer.Dec 20, 2011Vincetta S. / Grain Valley, MOHAIR TYPEMedium Brown / Color Treated Hair / Fine or Thin Hair

Great, Quick Styling ToolI've tried several hot air brushes and the Hot Air Styler H3000 is the best by far! It seems to be well-made and versatile. I use the bigger brush on the hot setting on my thick head of fine, wavy hair to sculpt it into a medium, not quite shoulder length, smooth, sleek bob, The brush heats up right away, but it is not nearly hot enough to fry or frizz the ends or thinner top section, which has happened with other hot air brushes, alas. I use my recently purchased favorite styling tool much as prescribed. The Hot Air Styler is quick at making my damp, not wet, hair smooth, straight, shiny, and dry, with just enough volume and curl to please me. I can even use it on the front section of my hair, no bangs, to add a little lift while keeping the style and sleekness I seek, with no unwanted waves at all. The handle stays cool throughout and the tool does not roll when I set it down, which often happened with other brands. When my hair is dry and styled, I change the Hot Air Styler to the cool setting -- a first for me in a hot air brush and a real plus -- and quickly go through my hair again to add extra volume and sheen. This is my first time with this brand and I hope it will have a relatively long life. My last hot air brush, Helen of Troy, stopped working after several months and though I liked it until it died, this is a big step up. Styling with the Hot Air Styler H3000 is much easier and quicker than using a dryer and brush, which I used to dread, and I get better results. I highly recomment it!Dec 4, 2011Jill / PhiladelphiaHAIR TYPEMedium Brown / Dry Hair / Color Treated Hair / Fine or Thin Hair / Thick or Coarse Hair

Overall A Good Hot Air Brushits easy to use and it works well on my hiar, but I found that its a bit difficult to make those pretty curls at the end of my hair cause maybe i didnt really know how to use it? and the brush can get pretty hot and you really need to watch out and I'll suggest to use heat protect glove if you set to air brush on high!!!! However, the brush does make my hair shine and gave it volume like the describtion says. I'll recommend it!!!!Oct 21, 2011SmartyyyyyyHAIR TYPEMedium Brown / Fine or Thin Hair

Best Styling Tool!When my HairArt H3000 Hot Air Styler
blew out in Europe, because I stupidly turned it on without a converter attached to it, I was lost! It's my favorite styling tool. I ordered another one immediately so it would be waiting for me when I returned home from my trip. I love the two barrel sizes and the intensity of the heat.

Love This!I was not sure how I'd like this hot air styler. I have fine hair, so I thought it wouldn't really style my hair well. But quite the opposite. My curling iron went out recently, so I gave this a shot. I really like that it has a cool setting. Especially during hot summer days. It gave my bangs lift and straightened the hairs even on that setting! Love this and so happy to have it as an alternative to my blow dryer!!!Jul 14, 2011Diane / Los AngelesHAIR TYPEMedium Brown / Dry Hair / Color Treated Hair / Fine or Thin Hair

The Best Hangover Beauty Cures
Seen On: Kylie Jenner
What: Major Lashes
How-To: Unless you've been overdosing on Latisse, you're going to need a set of falsies to get seriously long lashes like Jenner's. First, curl your natural lashes and apply eyeliner. Then, dot black—not white—adhesive along the lash line and use tweezers to place individual extensions (they look more realistic than full sets). Allow the glue to dry before applying mascara.

Seen On: Erin Heatherton
What: Messy Waves
How-To: To get Heatherton's tousled waves, start by curling your hair in two-inch sections. Then run your fingers through the curls to mess them up and encourage flyaways. Mist a sea salt spray all over for piecey texture.

We've established that Wrangler is exponentially rising as a "cool" premium denim brand—especially overseas—and their latest lookbook has some more evidence to this point. With a hint of attitude that reminds us of Diesel marketing (without the pro-stupid slogans and overt sexual liberation), models pose against stone greys and cement backdrops. Denim-on-denim combos are recurring, with mixed wash styles on both genders (we love one combo that pairs cuffed light wash jeans with a medium-dark wash workshirt and knit vest). Plaids in blue and red color ways, vintage-inspired sweaters, leather jackets, and furry hats are styled into the shoot effortlessly—soak up some of this FW'11 fashion inspiration! A bit more on the concept of this lookbook below…
"Mark your territory is the FW11 season theme: Wrangler urges its clientele to customize their own jeans. To give each pair a life of their own. Mark your territory extends Wrangler's brand signature. We are animals. Like animals we are compelled to mark our space and our belongings, to leave our stamp. Tagging, tattooing, branding: these are primal animal impulses. In FW11, we challenge consumers to 'Mark Their Territory'."

Former Volleyball Canada executive director Sylvie Bigras on most influential women in sport's list
OTTAWA – Sylvie Bigras, the former executive director of Volleyball Canada, was on the list of the most influential women in sport's list released by the Canadian Association for the Advancement of Women in Sport (CAAWS)
Bigras, a member of the University of Ottawa varsity team, headed Volleyball Canada for most of the 1990's. Since then she has become a powerful force in sports communications in Canada serving as the Canadian Olympic Committee's press chief at numerous Olympic and Pan Am Games including the 2010 Vancouver-Whistler Olympics.
Bigras was featured in the newspapers La presse (http://www.cyberpresse.ca/le-droit/personnalite/201101/23/01-4362952-lamour-du-sport-mene-a-tout.php on Sunday and will also be profiled tonight on the Ottawa-Gatineau newscast on Radio-Canada television at 6 p.m.

By PAUL YOUNGSt. George
Dear Editor,
From recent articles appearing in our newspapers, Utah Power and Light Co, i.e. PacifiCorp, i.e. Scottish Power has applied to the public service commission for a rate increase of 12.5 percent, which would raise the average retail customers bill up approximately $8.47 based on a household using 1,000 kilowatt hours per month.
I would hope that the Utah State Public Service Commission would request from PacifiCorp general office a listing of any and all gratuities such as bonuses, increases in salary or any other type of cash remuneration the head honcho's gave themselves each year for the past five years in, year end, gratuities.
I would further hope that we have a state legislator in office now that has the intestinal fortitude to pass a bill to the effect any public service utility company that gives their high echelon officers or directors in top management year end bonuses or any other type of gratuity be restricted to five years before applying for another rate increase.
I would like to see our legislators make provisions where as the public service commission must notify the Consumer Protection Agency and allow them input on all utilities requesting rate increase evaluation.

I don't care how badly it tanked at its release in 1993. This movie is fantastic. I might even like it more than Mr. India, that other Javed Akhtar-written, Sridevi-and-Anil-Kapoor-starring film (and for all the Bollywood newbies who may have drifted over here from MOSS, that one was directed by Shekhar Kapur of Elizabeth fame). Though I know precious little about 90s films before the big hits of Shahrukh Khan later in the decade, I reckon this one seems as much like giddy 70s masala as I am likely to find fifteen years later than its heyday. While it is not fair to boil a film down to a checklist of ingredients, doing so for RKRCKR will help illustrate why I liked it so much.
the plot (for those of you who haven't seen the film)
Seema (Sridevi) was orphaned as a child when her father was killed by arch-villain Jugran (Anupam Kher) and her mother has some kind of psychotic episode upon seeing his corpse. In the orphanage, she is befriended by Ramesh (Anil Kapoor), whose father (Dalip Tahil), a customs officer investigating diamond smuggling, was also killed by Jugran when Ramesh and dad were out and about in downtown Bombay. I mention this detail only because of the great tragic poignancy of being orphaned in the maximum city, a location well-known for harboring familial near misses, especially among children who were separated as infants and thus cannot recognize their parents or each other. Ramesh is old enough to recognize his mother, sister, and brother (Ravi, a police officer played by Jackie Shroff when grown), but it takes awhile for him to encounter them. Fortunately, dad had given both brothers a special token, a lock and key, cementing their brotherhood by saying each was useless without the other. (Sucks to be the girl child, I guess.) Jugran, meanwhile, has been pretending to be his twin brother, the upstanding Manmohan, whom in reality he long ago killed, as a cover for his nefarious deeds. All of these threads come together exactly as you assume they would, with no one recognizing each other at first and all having their own reasons to use each other to get to Jugran.
the main characters and the people who play them
Sridevi is empathetic, intrepid, and funny as a thief and self-proclaimed "queen of beauty" in "the fashion and modeling world." (Why does she not include "music" among her credits when all we see her do is dance and sing—and, more importantly, act—rather than go to photo shoots?)
|At this point, Seema is trying to convince Romeo to do a job for Jugran in exchange for information about her father's killer. AND THE MULLET OMG THE MULLET.
|I caught Raaj Kumar, Sanjeev Kumar, Shatrughan Sinha, Raj Kapoor, Dharmendra, and Ashok Kumar.
If you like Bollywood anipals, be sure to read next Monday's installment of "Bollywood Journal" at the Wall Street Journal India Real Time blog, in which I interview Todd about anipals.
the comedy
Sridevi is really funny. Yes, she bugs out her eyes a lot
"Chai Mein Chini" and the effect is...let's call it regrettable and move on with our lives.
the songs
The Laxmikant-Pyarelal songs are otherwise incredible and impressive, perhaps more visually than musically, but still. To name a few enticements: Sridevi falls out of a cake before singing with four other versions of herself, none of which are repeated in the song's many costume changes ("Main Hoon Roop Ki Rani"); Anil shakes a black pleather trouser-clad leg rather impressively (or at least relatively to what I've seen him do in other films) ("Romeo Naam Mera"); both leads do some romancing in the rain, thereby presenting an excuse for a wet sari ("Jaanewale Zara Ruk Ja"); and there's a giant golden Egyptian set for an angry dance of revenge ("Dushman Dil Ka"), in which Sridevi pouts and stomps impressively.
* I have typed the name of this film so many times I want to shoot myself. Abbreviated it shall be!
** In fact, all the screencaps of this DVD turned out really dark! Boo!

Soad Bekheit, M.D., Director of Electrophysiology at Staten Island University and Dr. Garrie J. Haas, Professor of Clinical Medicine at Ohio State University of Medicine at SIUH.
Staten Island, New York (PRWEB) October 31, 2013
Director of Electrophysiology at Staten Island University Hospital, Soad Bekheit, M.D., held the 2013 Electrophysiology Cardiac Symposium on October 23, 2013 at the Regina M. McGinn Education Center at SIUH. The two-part symposium featured four prominent doctors from heart centers nationwide who discussed new frontiers in the management of congestive heart failure and the procedures and treatments in atrial fibrillation.
Members from The Heart Institute team, along with other cardiologists, electrophysiologists, fellows, and health professionals, attended the symposium. The first half of the event included Garrie J. Haas, M.D., Professor of Clinical Medicine at
Ohio State University of Medicine along with Mark Zucker, Director of Heart Failure Treatment and Transplant at Newark Beth Israel Medical Center.
The second session of the symposium focused on atrial fibrillation with a presentation by Michael D. Ezekowitz, Vice President of Lankenau Institute of Medical Research in Pennsylvania who discussed the pharmacological treatments and approaches for stroke prevention. The last speaker was Dr. Jayanthi N. Koneru from Virginia Commonwealth University Medical Center who covered treatments and devices for atrial fibrillation (AFib), including cryoablation, a minimally invasive solution offered at The Heart Institute.
The symposium ended with Dr. Chad Kliger presenting new treatments and procedures now offered at The Heart Institute, including TAVR (transcatherer aortic valve replacement), a procedure offered to inoperable patients who need a valve replacement. Dr. Kliger will be part of a comprehensive Valvular, Structural and Congenital Heart team that will treat patients with defects and diseases in the structure of the heart.

The evaluation of biomarkers as diagnostic indicators for disease progression is an endeavor of intense academic and clinical research. Our group is interested in the regulation of cancer progression, which we are studying through a novel in vitro cell model system. This model, called the Prostatic Human Epithelial Cancer (PHEC) system, represents all three states of human prostate cancer progression: non-tumorigenic, tumorigenic and metastatic cells. For each state, we have individual cell lines in culture, and thus we are able to compare the three states directly, as they are generated from the same progenitor line. This allows us to study changes in expressed protein identities, concentrations, biomolecular interaction partners, and even genetic expression profiles, to understand the sub-cellular basis for prostate cancer progression.

Fullauto StrainEye LSM-9000LE Simplifies Strain Measurements and Enables Quality Control
Luceo developed the "Fullauto StrainEye LSM-9000LE" to accurately and easily measure the strain of glass and plastic products.
"This is a two-dimensional strain measuring device that is easy to operate. Conventional measuring devices can only measure a single point of a sample, but the Fullauto StrainEye LSM-9000LE can measure the entire area of a sample."
