OMG I was looking for this since yesterday when WH5 mentioned it and I could NOT find it. Its a huge purple thread stuck to the F&G and I missed it! LOL
Here's my current favorite for lunches and/or appetizers at a party.
Flat Iron Bruschetta with horseradish yogurt sauce
Flat Iron steak used here is off the top of the shoulder on a cow and very lean meat. Really tasty too, and not as tough to cook as flank steak. Regular grocery stores carry it - just ask.
Small load of french bread
Olive oil
Kosher salt
Flat iron steak
Mock sour cream - see recipe below
Horseradish ( prepared )
Fresh italian parsley, finely minced
Preheat the oven to 350 Deg F.
Slice the french bread into ¼ inch slices. Brush each slice with olive oil and sprinkle with kosher salt.
Place the slices onto a sheet pan and bake until golden brown in color. Reserve.
In a large saute pan add in a drizzle of olive oil (1 tbsp) Place the steak into the pan and cook for about 4 mins, each side. Desired state is medium rare.
Remove the steak from the pan and allow to cool completely.
Using a sharp knife, cut the meat into thin slices. Toss with olive oil and kosher salt. Reserve.
Combine equal amounts of mock sour cream and horseradish and mix well.
Assembly of flat iron burschetta:
Spread the horseradish sauce onto the bruschetta then place a piece of flat iron steak on top. Sprinkle with parsley.
Mock Sour Cream:
Using a cheese cloth, and place it over a strainer, and put some Whole milk Yogurt (usually organic sections will have this) into the cheesecloth. Cover with plastic wrap and put into the fridge for 24 hours. Dump the water in the bottom in the sink(that's the "whey") and save the remaining leban in a bowl with an airtight seal. Keep refrigerated for up to 2 weeks.
It can be mixed with dill and garlic for a great potato chip dip with half the calories of sour cream dips, or with cinnamon sugar for a shmear on bagels. Here it is mixed with prepared horseradish. Get creative!

Buffalo Wings and Dip
Chipotle Buffalo Blue Cheese Dip:
1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/2 (4-ounce) package blue cheese, crumbled (about 1/4 cup)
2 teaspoons TABASCO® brand Chipotle Pepper Sauce
1 clove garlic, minced
Salt to taste
Hot Wing Recipe:
Get some Frank's Original Red Hot Sauce, there
is "no" adequate substitute.
Acquire some margarine. Only margarine works right (correct taste and
resistance to burning). Neither oil nor butter will substitute.
Get the wings cut up, and start heating up the frying grease. Some
revisionist (or health-conscious) types insist on other cooking methods,
but there is nothing like the real crisp-on-the-outside moist
-and-chewy-on-the-inside texture of fried wings.
Make up the sauce. Put the Frank's and margarine into a skillet or
saute pan big enough to comfortably hold one fryer-load of wings. The
total amount of sauce at once should be about a quarter of an inch in the
bottom of the pan.
The proportions are:
Equal parts is the nominal starting point (called "medium" in Buffalo).
A bit of tingle, but not very spicy.
Undiluted Frank's doesn't taste as good, but is pretty hot. Three to
one, Frank's to margarine is about as hot as I like it.
For the really timid (like kids) just a splash of Frank's in the margarine
gives a little flavor but no noticeable hot. The idea is to cook up the
Frank's and margarine to a bit thicker consistency. It should simmer for
5 minutes or so, then be kept hot.
You can make up just one batch of sauce for a bunch of wings. You can just
add more ingredients to the pan as you use up the sauce. When you add more
ingredients, you can adjust the spiciness.
I use this to satisfy everybody, I start out with all the margarine I plan
to use, and put in just a splash of Frank's. That makes a few wings for
the kids. Then a bunch more Frank's to make the wings medium. Still more
Frank'sto get it the way I like it.
Fry the wings. They're cooked when the bubbles slow down significantly.
This takes seeing it once to know just how much bubbling corresponds to
"done," but it doesn't take a rocket scientist to get it right. At home,
I put the "drumettes" in first, because they take a minute or two longer
to cook. As always with frying, be sure that you don't put in so much
food that the temperature of the fat drops below 325 or so, and have the
heat on so it gets back up to 375 ASAP.
As the wings finish cooking, take them out and drain thoroughly. I
generally put them in a strainer held over the fat. Don't pile them up
in a bowl, or the fat will cool and congeal before it runs off!
Once the wings are drained, put them in the sauce and get the wings covered
with sauce. The official restaurant way to do this is to toss them in the
air, but your stove cleaner may not appreciate this.
Use tongs to pick the wings out of the pan and let the sauce drain off.
Toss the wings on a grill or in a hot oven for a few minutes at this point
to "bake on" the sauce.
Serve with celery sticks and blue cheese dressing on the side. Yes, the
BCD *is* for the wings! But make sure it is good BCD, with nice chunks of
good cheese.

Dinner-Main dish-Poultry
Easy Enchilladas
*heat oven to 350*
1 rotisserie chicken
(I've also just cooked an "extra" when roasting chicken for dinner)
1 large can enchilada sauce
(cut with 1 sm can tomato sauce if mild is desired)
4 cups shredded cheese (I get the Mex Mix pre-shredded)
tortillas (I prefer flour, but use what you like)
1 bag frozen "bean/corn salsa"
OR 1 sm can black beans, 1 sm can corn and 1 cup salsa
Take all of the meat off the chicken. Use your fingers to break it up into small pieces or use 2 forks to shred it.
You'll need a well greased 9x13 pan. Pour 1/2 cup of enchilada sauce into bottom of pan, spread over entire bottom.
Pour enchilada sauce into a pie plate. Dunk tortilla into sauce, coat completely. Lay in 9x13 pan. Sprinkle a little chicken, and some bean salsa in the tortilla, cover with a good sprinkle of cheese. (Abt. 1/4 cup-1/2 cup total of filling) Roll tortilla, and scoot to one end of pan, lay seam side down. Continue to fill and roll tortillas until baking pan is full.
Take any extra sauce and drizzle over filled tortillas in pan. Sprinkle rest of cheese over the sauce, cover with foil and bake for about 30 minutes so everything can melt together. Let stand about 10 minutes then serve with sour cream or guacamole, or in my house both!
Awesome with margaritas of course or a sweet-tart Reisling or Vionay wine, ooooo or a good Sangria!
I'll make a simple salad to go with it too. (Though I HAVE been known to shred zuccini, or finely chopped spinach in with the salsa-mix. No one ever notices...)
Flan or angel food cake and fresh fruit is a good dessert after this.
This is much requested in my house, and my family loves it! You can use left over roast beef, ground beef, canned chicken-though watch the sodium-, or just cheese. Even left over pork works. I've even made veggie and cheese enchiladas, though I prefer chicken. I tend to make two pans at a time one to eat now, one to freeze and have in a few weeks. (Just make it in a foil pan and cover tightly. Takes about 2 hours to bake if coming from frozen, if thaw, takes about 1/2 hour)
You can also make it by layering the tortillas instead of rolling. It tastes the same, is less work, and once its all covered in sauce and cheese, no one can tell.

Dinner-main dish/soup
Tortilla soup
*Warning this makes about 4 gallons at a time*
2 large bottles of regular or spicy V-8 juice
1 large can of vegetable or chicken stock
1 bag frozen corn
1 bag frozen black beans
1 lg can pinto beans, rinsed
1 lg can stewed chopped tomatoes WITH juice
1 large jar of salsa (jar not jug)
1 bag frozen zucchini
1 sm box frozen spinach
1 large (softball) onion, chopped
1 small bunch cilantro, chopped fine or a few tablespoons of the "paste" from the produce section
1 head of garlic (or 1/4 cup pre-chopped stuff)
10 small corn tortillas torn into small pieces.
2-3 lbs cooked, de-boned chicken
3 TBSP chili powder
3 TBSP cumin (ground)
1 TBSP cayenne pepper
A few good glug-shakes of Tabasco sauce (I pull the plastic stopper out and add glugs)
Salt and Pepper to taste
In a LARGE stock pot, bring V-8 and chicken stock to a low boil, add all frozen veggies, return to low boil/simmer. Add spices, onion and garlic and the tortillas. Give it a good sprinkle of salt and pepper. Add canned veggies/bean. Stir every few minutes to be sure it doesn't stick and burn. Add chicken and cilantro about 5 minutes before serving. Serve when veggies are tender, beans are soft. Adjust spices to suit your family. I will sometimes blenderize it with a stick blender if my nephews and nieces are eating it too. Then they can't pick out the veggies. Just do this step before adding the chicken.
I serve with cornbread and corn chips, sometimes even warm tortillas.
Good with margaritas, Corona,Dos Equis, Sangria and sweet-ish white wines. (White Zin, Reisling, Vionay, some Charddonays- ask your wine person at the market for one that's not buttery)
Very easy and still good served vegetarian. You could serve the meat like a garnish for those who want it. Good garnishes are lime slices, sour cream, guacamole, cilantro, green onion (chopped) and tortilla or corn chips.

Greek Name: Eros
Roman Name: Cupid
Role in Mythology : God of love
Eros is the Greek god of love and sexual desire.
He is also worshiped as a fertility god,
In the Dionysian Mysteries Eros is referred to as "protagonus", the first born.
|From the early legend of Eros it is said that he was responsible for the embraces of Uranus (Heaven or Sky) and Gaia (Earth), and from their union were born many offspring. It was also written that Eros hatched our race and made it appear first into the light (Birds, by Aristophanes). Although one of the oldest gods, he was a latecomer to Greek religion. He was worshiped in many regions of Greece, at Thespiae there was an ancient fertility cult, and in Athens he and Aphrodite had a joint cult. Also in Athens the forth day of every month was sacred to Eros. Sometimes Eros was worshiped by the name Erotes (which is the plural of Eros); this personified all the attractions that evoked love and desire, this included heterosexual and homosexual allurements. Anteros (the Returner of Love also known as the god of Mutual Love) was the brother of Eros, which comes from the version of which Aphrodite and Ares are said to be the mother and father of Eros.
Eros is usually depicted as a young winged boy, with his bow and arrows at the ready, to either shoot into the hearts of gods or mortals which would rouse them to desire. His arrows came in two types: golden with dove feathers which aroused love, or leaden arrows which had owl feathers that caused indifference. Sappho the poet summarized Eros as being bitter sweet, and cruel to his victims, yet he was also charming and very beautiful. Being unscrupulous, and a danger to those around him, Eros would make as much mischief as he possibly could by wounding the hearts of all, but according to one legend he himself fell in love. This legend tells us that Eros was always at his mothers side assisting her in all her conniving and godly affairs. The legend goes on to say that Aphrodite became jealous of the beauty of a mortal, a beautiful young woman named Psyche. In her fit of jealousy Aphrodite asked Eros to shoot his arrow into the heart of Psyche and make her fall in love with the ugliest man on earth. He agreed to carry out his mothers wishes, but on seeing her beauty Eros fell deeply in love with Psyche himself. He would visit her every night, but he made himself invisible by telling Psyche not to light her chamber. Psyche fell in love with Eros even though she could not see him, until one night curiosity overcame her. She concealed a lamp and while Eros slept she lit the lamp, revealing the identity of Eros. But a drop of hot oil spilt from the lamp awakening the god. Angered she had seen him Eros fled and the distraught Psyche roamed the earth trying in vain to find her lover. In the end Zeus took pity and reunited them, he also gave his consent for them to marry. There are variations of this legend but most have the same outcome.
The Romans borrowed Eros from the Greeks and named him Cupid (Latin cupido meaning desire). Eros has been depicted in art in many ways. The Romans regarded him as a symbol of life after death and decorated sarcophagi with his image. The Greeks regarded him as most beautiful and hansom, the most loved and the most loving. They placed statues of him in gymnasiums (as most athletes were thought to be beautiful). He was depicted on every form of utensil, from drinking vessels to oil flasks, usually showing him ready to fire an arrow into the heart of an unsuspecting victim.

Winners and Losers for Week 7 of the NFLOctober 20, 2013
All Patriot Nation talked about this week was if Rob Gronkowski would play.
The Gronk did play on Sunday, hauling in 114 yards while showing some rust. But the unlikely hero of the game was New York Jets kicker Nick Folk, who nailed a 42-yard field goal in overtime to beat the Pats 30-27.
The Jets are huge winners for Week 7, as they improved to 4-3.
In contrast, the Miami Dolphins are a big loser. After having a week off, you'd think they'd come out and beat the divisional rival Buffalo Bills. Not the case. The Bills defense was fantastic, and the team upset Miami, 23-21.

See on Scoop.it – Complex Insight – Understanding our world
Bartosz Grzybowski of Northwestern University in Illinois, US – who has already established himself as one of our most inventive chemists – has unveiled a 'chemo-informatic' scheme, Chematica, that can stake a reasonable claim to being paradigm-changing. Grzybowski and his colleagues have spent years assembling the transformations that link chemical species into a vast network that codifies and organises the known pathways through chemical space. The nodes of the network – molecules, elements and chemical reactions – are linked together by connecting reactants to products via the nexus of a known reaction. The full network contains around 7 million compound nodes and about the same number of reaction nodes. Grzybowski calls it a 'collective chemical brain'.

- http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/debia ... f_archives
- (optional) the manpage for apt_preferences(5), plus
- (optional) the FAQ for unstable/sid @ http://wiki.debian.org/DebianUnstable#FAQ
[2a] BEFORE MODIFYING ANY FILES: CREATE A BACKUP of these two files sources.list and preferences:
Code: Select all
sudo cp -p /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.orig
sudo cp -p /etc/apt/preferences /etc/apt/preferences.orig
[2b] (optional, but recommended) using Update Manager for testing, refresh the repository list, and take note of:
- the quantity of packages it wants to upgrade
- the names and version numbers of those applications
[3a] alter the two files as follows:
- add to /etc/apt/sources.list the line:

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to MK readers! Wishing you a new year filled with happiness, peace and love. It is a summer Christmas here in Malaysia so I made my cake white, non-dairy cream with a hint of coffee.
This cake was easy to make and deco, but with two little boys (four naughty hands) around I was able to give only 60% attention to the cake and spending the rest watching out for those hands. Boys were happy licking the cream off the beaters and spatula, and clearing up the odd cuts of the cake. Worth to mention, the decoration took me 10 minutes or less including whipping the cream.
175 g Pett. sponge cake mix
175 g whole eggs
40 g water
30 g vegetable oil
60 g bitter-sweet chocolate
1/2 tsp instant coffee granulates
1 cup non-dairy whipping cream
1 tsp hot water
1 tsp instant coffee granulates
Sugar beads
Christmas decos
- Heat oil. Melt the chocolate in oil, mex well then add in coffee granulates. Set aside.
- Combine cake mix, eggs and water in mixing bowl, beat with high speed till the mixture turned pale.
- Transfer small amount of batter into chocolate mixture, mix well then return into batter. Mix with low heat till well blended.
- Transfer batter onto a baking tray (22cm x 32cm) lined with baking paper, spread out evenly the tap the tray on kitchen bench a few times to release air bubbles trapped inside.
- Bake in preheated oven, 175C for 15 minutes.
- Spray water mist on a clean kitchen towel, invert cake sheet onto it soon after it is baked. Peel off the baking paper, roll the cake up (from the long side) together with the kitchen towel. Cool rolled cake on wire rack.
- Meanwhile, prepare icing. Dissolve coffee in hot water and set aside to cool. Place whipping cream in a cooled bowl (I left it in freezer for few minutes), beat with high speed till stiff then add in coffee mixture. Beat till well combined and transfer whipped cream into a pipping bag.
- Unroll cake (keep the curly shape), pipe some whipped cream onto the cake and roll it up again (remove the towel). Cut and trim the cake, make into desired shape. Pip the cream from the bottom to top until whole cake is covered with cream. Add deco on the top as desired.
- Keep cake in the refrigerator for a few hours before serving.
Cook's notes:
- The cake sheet is about 1" in thickness.
- If using other brand of sponge cake mix, please prepare the cake according to the instruction on the packaging.
- I used sweetened cream, no extra sugar is needed. Leftover whipped cream can be kept in the freezer, thaw in the fridge before use.

Essay: The Nature of the Sabbath
The Sabbath and the Snowflake
Though all days may seem the same to men whose days are all too full of silent greed and roaring vanity, there is nothing indifferent or random about the days. Even on one day shall Christ return in power, and that day shall not be trivial in terms of the present cycles of the Creation.
The Earth is exactly where it should be in relation to the sun and to the other planets, so that a seven-fold of paper is as virtually the maximum as that of the waves upon a safe shore. Ever since the beginning of the Creation, there has been one right time according to which a man ought never to ignore guiding his canoe over the reef. Mankind is not made to live in a boat.
In being the first thing which God called sacred in the human realm, God's words of blessing upon the seventh day rest is comparable to Adam's own first words toward woman. Such a comparison means that the proper focus of the human creature's life is not any code of law, or sacred verbatim, but is, rather, the blessings which the Creator gave to human life as such. The proper focus for a human person is to be and become what a human person was made to be and become. Anything less is to fail to flourish. In short, the proper focus of the living of human life is exactly that: the living of human life. This is why even the 'pessimist of the Old Testament', who wrote that 'all is vanity', concluded that fellowship at mealtime is the standard of general blessedness even for a man who, in knowledge of his own mortality, has lived 'in vain'.
So, only by the most extended and deep violations of the truths of marriage and the Sabbath is even God Himself finally induced to impose commands and enforcements concerning keeping them. Others had so said, and but few heeded them. So, upon a certain point of no return, God Himself not only so said, but had a man stoned to death for working.
But, God had that man stoned to death not because that man was working as such. God had that man stoned to death because that man's work was so deeply greedy as not to refuse its own greed even for a day so as to honor the very Respiratory cycle of the Creation (which is the Sabbath day). The final phrase of Revelation 11:18 puts the finger on the ultimate natural product of that greed, a product the beginnings of which God could not allow to infect the establishment of His own nation.
And, while the Pharisees kept the Sabbath by some measure of form, their own greed of ego in claiming to be teachers of God's Truth was a greed which they extended over people every day of the week. Thereby the Pharisees violated the Sabbath every day of the week. The cause of God's requirement that even fallen man keep the seven day Sabbath is that the truth of that Sabbath in the fallen world acts as the most frequent equalizer, stabilizer, re-balancer of human culture. The Pharisees denied that truth every day of the week, and especially on the Sabbath.
So, God was not being a legalist for having given, commanded, and enforced the seventh-day rest upon His own nation. The Sabbath, and the keeping of the Sabbath, is not legalistic. What is legalistic is keeping a law in such a narrow-minded and finger-pointing way that the form of its keeping is alloyed with the error of making it into a burden rather than letting it be the blessing upon all life which it must be.
This is why Christ and John the Baptist called the Pharisees vipers: they were teachers of a righteousness which made themselves out to be the essential spiritual superiors of those who did not so keep the letter of the Law. Judgmental-ism is the friend only of misjudgment, and the spiritual viper, though being blessed in some worldly ways by the keeping the form of all of God's laws, is the greatest enemy of God. A man who brushes his teeth every day is not therefore a good keeper of his teeth, even though his brushing is a good action: he may, in fact, have an infected tooth which is going to get to his brain and kill him.
So, these two truths, marriage and the Sabbath, are in exact contrast to one another in a most important way: together they encompass the whole of human life, in that one is the most obvious of all possible creatures (sexuality), and the other is the most subtle of all creatures (the very respiration of the cosmos which is the day of rest). In other words, one is of a nature which is more demandingly and constantly obvious to us than would be the name of God written permanently across the sky in the form of a roaring fire; and the other is of a nature so subtle and quiet that, for a man in the fallen state to sense it at all, he must be absolutely perfect.
While the need for rest, as such, is obvious, only in keeping the true day of rest can the soul be kept from exchanging that day for any another. A man who thinks to keep his wife, but who sees no difference between her and any other woman, is a man who soon will exchange his wife for any other woman, and then who soon will keep no wife at all. To see no difference between the days is to see nothing wrong with taking and allowing rest only when you, personally, are struck by a whim or a wish to take and allow it. The cohesion of human life depends on abiding the cycles of the Creation itself, and the best time to toil the ground is not when the ground is frozen in winter.
So, do not mistake subtlety for triviality. The subtlety of all the microscopic ecology is that on which depends the health and very continuance of all macroscopic life on Earth. Even more subtle is the being of God, who, though everywhere present, does not crowd anyone out of their chair. In fact, despite that God speaks always, He does not shout out even the roaring greed of the infidel. This is the infidel who, in denying God's necessity to every one of Creation's dynamics, goes blindly into the grave while his descendants reap the errors of his greedy ways.
As surely as the sun goes down each day, and as surely as a man's thirst compels him to water, so the only way to sense the deepest rhythm of Creation is to breath as it breaths. This respiration of the cosmos is the Sabbath day. And, in a fallen world of toiling the ground, this also is the Sabbath year.
Unlike the roaring waves of water on an unstable-but-livable Earth, the most primal waves of the physical Cosmos are as subtle as the life of a comatose man to people who already are too busy fighting over his Will to realize he is not actually dead. The instant they bury him, they condemn him to death by their ignorance of him: the longer they leave him buried, the surer it is that he becomes his survivors' self-fulfilling prophecy.
But, when that man is none other than the Creator Himself, no one survives His death.
So, once greed and ignorance allow that that man, Jesus, may be exchanged for any other, nothing is kept off-limits from the greedy ignorance of a secular liberty. (The caste system of India began as a free society of equally selfish-and-ignorant individuals, so a mutual individual liberty as the sole original state of a fallen society is nothing more than a recipe for every kind and form of injustice and violence which may ever be produced by any isolated and initially unstable civilization; Mere liberty in face of disharmony is always at best a borrower, or at worst a robber, from that which flourishes human life.) Then, all are increasingly enslaved to an abdominal Prince of Darkness, so that, in their most final triumphant independence from that most lowly Jesus which they knew not, even the planet itself finally is caused to reel and shudder in grief.
To deny the made is the deny the maker. To preserve all but one small made thing is the fall short of the glory of the maker. So, a small thing can become a big thing, by the accumulated cost of consistently, if ignorantly, rejecting its reality. The deadly avalanche is made one snowflake at a time.
The Sabbath in the Bible: Greed-and-Adversariality vs. Rest
There is no mention in the pre-Israel portion of the Bible of anyone practicing the Sabbath. But, neither therein is there mention of nearly any other thing which it surely was wrong not to practice. Charity. Rest in general. Allowing others the right to rest. Etc..
The first mention of the Sabbath (seventh day) includes no command concerning it. But, if God called it sacred from the beginning of human existence, then what point would such calling be? Was it only that first seventh day that God meant to call sacred? And, if so, then what about it would have made it sacred? Did all the Creation rest on that day?
Did even the fallen Adam and Eve feel no need of rest from their toil every several days? Did they never take a day of rest? If they did take one, then did they never take it regularly? If they took it regularly, then what was its regulation? Every nine days? Why not every three days? Even momentary exhaustion commands momentary reprieve. And, then, there is the regular compulsion to sleep.
To what extent should we pattern our lives after the original pattern which God set for life in our world? God does not sleep, but He did cease his work of Creation. And, He called the seventh day sacred, special. He called it so not for exhaustion of His energies, as if he were in need of rest from his...toil...lest He collapse in a useless heap. He called it special because, even in the unfallen world, human life should not be one endless sequence of days for tending Eden, and for expanding Eden to all the Earth. There ought to be a day set apart simply for living; and for celebrating life; and for communing with God, and with nature, and with all of the human family.
Just as there is a distinction between day and night, so there is a distinction between work and living. Work ought to be a joy, even in the fallen world. But, work is not rest. And, work is not celebration in the fruits of your labor. When you build a beautiful house for yourself, you do not immediately go away and build another, and then another. Rather, you stand and glory in the work of your hands, and then you go inside your house to live in it. The garden of Eden was a house-without walls which God built. A very, very big house. The biggest that there has ever been. And, more luxurious than it is possible for any house---or, indeed, for any place---to be in the fallen world.
So, if that first seventh day was special in terms of the functions of the Creation, then it would have been special the second time around, and the third, etc.. The day when all those who were made in the image of God would naturally have rested from their efforts to make all the Earth a Garden of gardens. And, in the unfallen world, it would have been natural to unfallen humans to sense the gentleness of that one day. The gentleness of that day. No roaring wave was it. No compelling thirst to a parched throat. Gentle.
The gentlest day. No command could have been given concerning it, because any command, however blessedly given, would have detracted from its gentleness. Commands were given regarding other things, such as to exercise dominion over the Earth, and to multiply. But, these commands were concerning the strenuous instincts. The act of providing for rest and celebration is not a strenuous instinct, but a gentle one. The gentlest day of all. Over-work was not to be an element of that unfallen world. But, over-work surely is an element even of life itself in the fallen world: to so much as breath is to work toward a final death.
But, if over-work is a constant element in the fallen world, then how much more need have we of rest who are born to die. And, how much less ought we to be ignorant of the respiration of the Creation, so that we do not ignore the times at which it is only right to guide our boat over the harsh reef of toil.
There is no word in the whole of the story of Abraham concerning God telling anyone to take rest on the seventh of every seven days. But, there is no mention, either, in the whole of the Bible, of how Abraham knew to give a tithe to Melchizedek. Did Abraham give it by pure inspiration from God, such that Abraham, and, indeed, the whole world, had no prior practice of a tithe? The first thing which God called sacred in the human world was the seventh day. So, unless there was no record of that original week, then Abraham had knowledge of that day. But, a tithe, by any name, is begotten by common sense, just as is charity begotten by common sense. This was the central means of appeal which Jesus made to his doubtful listeners: do not even you seek a lost sheep on the Sabbath? The most charitable thing is to grant rest to those who have toiled in mind of obtaining rest. To cease commanding them in their toil for your own greedy glory, and to give them a status which becomes one who is made in the image of God.
So, only the most insanely greedy do not grant even themselves a day of rest, who are ever in mind of the competition of men and of nature. They are in mind even of the infidel who is called righteous by the righteous, and who all are together ignorant of their own ignorant secularism. So, it is seen that the Bible is no Complete Idiot's Guide, though small portions of it approach such simplicity of purpose. The only truly secular text in existence is a wholly foolproof one, which, in fact, does not exist. Because, if it did exist, then no fool, and no ignorant pansy, would fail to esteem it as the perfectly righteous, duty-bearing (i.e., religious) text.
The day was changed, for ignorant and greedy cause, and nothing has been the same since. And, so, the sacred text all the more has been taught, and read, as if it were a Complete Idiot's Guide. It is from this error that the most determined fools escape to a sanity which nevertheless rejects the text itself. These 'sane fools' are ever in mind of all those who, in so preaching it, preach it in a greedy arrogance which itself is in mind of all the competition---including that of the human intellect itself, such that faith is reduced to blind loyalty, and the test of Abraham taught according to the verbatim of the story itself lest any child get a mind to reject the insane kind of fear by which they are held in subjection to their most foolishly greedy elders. This is what happens when no day is esteemed as inherently special, but merely accepted as such by the command of a God who is mistaken for a Creator Devil/lawgiver.
For such "believers", the God who walked beside Adam, and beside Eve, is too vague a character, such that the wise necessities required for the present, fallen world is supposed as the standard by which humans were originally made. So, the marriage vow in place of marriage, and work-toil in place of life. So, a more direct sense of things is considered not to be a prerequisite to wisdom, but, rather, to be a rebelliousness against God per the verbatim of God, and against the verbatim-and-leadership of men-who-follow-the-verbatim-of-God-in-place-of-both-God-and-common-sense.
"This is spiritual warfare", they said, "so no one has a right to truly rest, lest they become slothful or filled with temptation." So said even the evil Pharaoh, who could not rest knowing that the Hebrews were more sound-of-body than were his own pagan subjects. This is 'leadership from the top', despite the extent to which all are alike in wisdom and foolishness. This is church services ruled over so un-family-like that they are made dependably convenient for a mere spectation whose duty then so easily fails to carry to the whole day; Which make the undershepherd into a celebrity who cannot allow his children to speak at table lest their mere thoughts seem to challenge his fatherhood, so that their cowed reticence makes him the more ignorant the more he speaks, and makes them the more confused and discouraged and indifferent, and makes him the more frustrated at their own seemingly inherent ignorance and lack of natural disciple-ishness; Which, if a pharaoh commands toil, or if the spectator has opted for toil, then there supposedly is no real violation of God's blessings to that day. "All the better for the bottom line" they said. This is the greedy 'spiritual warfare' of modern Gentile Pharisees who will not stoop to those made ragged of soul and body by others' supposedly responsible greed.
So, there is a story of three men: One man was stoned to death for toiling. A second man allowed himself to be crucified to save that first man from such greed of toil. A third man lived as a 'believer' in the second man, but died as mocker-and-infidel of that man "because", he said, "you, that second man, on whom I had hoped against my enemies, have turned out not to be so mighty in terms of the greedy adversariality which my enemies invoke as the means by which to compete against them." Ironically, this third man, in so mocking the second man for failing to compete in the terms which the greedy man demands of his adversaries, himself died in a state of greedy competition against the second man.
That third man, with no name, who continued mocking the second man, named Jesus, did not believe in Rest, but in his own arrogance of discernment. This is why, despite being fallen and full of sin, and therefore being the very substance of a lack of rest, that third man refused to recognize Jesus as Rest Personified. There is no third man, no one to add to the second man, Jesus. Every attempt to add to, or improve upon, the second man is to practice the superstition of arrogance, which is misjudgment. The first man knows his own sin, while the third man only thinks he knows the first and second mens' sins.
So, that third man, in acting on a discernment which his arrogance claims to possess, adds to his own sin: he discerns nothing. He even fails to discern that the first man is made righteous, because he is offended at the first man when the first man refuses to honor, and then finally ignores, his arrogant, pharisaical, claim to superior discernment.

Continuous vs Flash Lighting and Everything in Between. A Multipart Exercise!
Continuous vs Flash Lighting and Everything in Between. Part 1
Light is a very fickle entity. Why do I say that? Because light can play many tricks on us and and is often elusive in it's etherial state. It has many frequencies and understanding those wave lengths might help us understand the grand palette of nuances available that we can play with. Now to add to the different color temperatures (frequency) we have another element that is a very important part of the equation and that is duration. Light is always present, even in the darkest of nights. That is where duration or time comes in to play.
I love playing with light, especially when I can compose with it, rather than nature imposing it on to my environment. Not that I do not love natural light and all that can be accomplished with it, but I believe my forte is creating light from scratch and designing my work with brush strokes, splats, washes and fine details.
I also love to mix and match different frequencies (color temperatures), durations and light sources.
We need to start by attempting to grasp how light from different sources, durations, color temperatures and light sources have an effect on your final images. "Light is a very powerful spice and should be used sparingly." Is my motto. Use it sparingly and it can bring some very powerful elements to light, (no pun intended) in to your imagery. Now when I say sparingly, I don't necessarily mean that you cannot splash it all over the place, especially if that is your intent. Of course you may, but be sure you know why and what the outcome will be.
Your camera can capture a multiplicity of frequencies and nuances. What the camera does not know is what you the "Composer" is attempting to accomplish and thus, generally can only deliver predictable results.
So to end this Part 1 of this theme, I suggest you start to look at light of all sources and see how those sources are intermingling with the environment. In the meanwhile, I suggest you prepare a couple of lamps with 60 watt light bulbs, a single flash unit, a few cardboard squares of about 35cm, some white paper, black paper and some aluminum foil. You may however imagine anything you wish, until the next episode.

Continuous vs Flash Lighting and Everything in Between...Part 2
Continuous vs Flash Lighting and Everything in Between...Part 2
In Part 1, I asked that you prepare a couple of 60 watt light bulbs a flash (off camera is preferable) some modifiers i.e. cardboard squares, black paper, and aluminum foil. I will now add a few more elements to this and that is a couple of empty cans, (make sure you open both ends). You can use different sizes. The more the merrier. A couple of metal coat hangers that you usually get from the dry cleaners. a few clothes clips for hanging out clothes to dry, or better yet a few clamps. Any stand that you have lying around as well. A few would be better.
Some construction gloves (NOT RUBBER) light bulbs are hot! Oh we don't want to forget the box cutter and gaffers tape.
Now the reason for these elements have more to do with experimenting with the absence or abundance of light that will be created by you during this first preliminary exercise.
Here is where the fun begins. You must please understand, that there are NO hard fast rules about lighting and the more open you are to experimentation, the more original your set up will become.
Here goes. You find a way to clamp your lamp to a stand. You might consider a cheap lamp with the standard metal shade like one of those old reading lamps for example. Or one of those clip on types. NOT PLASTIC PLEASE!!!
Take a couple of those metal hangers and force the shape in to a square, leaving the rounded part to be used to attach to a stand. You may need to adjust this segment of the hanger accordingly. Tape the white paper to the hanger. The hanger acts as the skeleton support for the paper. You will be using this paper as either a reflector or to shoot your light through it. I suggest find different types of paper as well. Some more transparent than others. Now it is time to prepare the black sheets of paper. It can be cardboard the larger the better. Find a way to support these sheets to a stand. You might build a frame out of a wire hanger or "What Ever..."
If any of you have a light/flash meter, that might also be useful, but not imperative. I suggest that you are in an environment, where you can darken or partially darken the space you are in. It can be done in a space that is exposed to daylight, but it is more problematic as highlighted by the Steve Jacob article found HERE. http://www.benjaminkanarekblog.com/?p=103
Now that you have all of these elements you might ask, "What next?..." You can do one of two things at this point. You can use your imagination, or wait for Part 3.
I would love that you do the later, but that is your choice.
Have Fun!
Hi Ben,
I have become a daily reader of your blog since you've started, thanks for sharing all that with us. This post of yours is very valuable and I expect it will be an eye opener to many.
Just a request from my side though. I think it would help those who are not native English speakers immensely if you could kindly illustrate the described "props and equipment" (e.g. by posting a picture of them). Reading these instructions and understanding them could be a tough job for those who are not that good in English. Thanks again.
Continuous vs Flash Lighting and Everything in Between Part 3
Now that you have put together some of the tools required for this first exercise, lets do the following. Take one of the tin cans and slightly flatten one end of it so it looks more like a cats eye and place the rounded side of it over the head of the flash, making sure you dont obscure the sensor. We can now name this coke can or what ever a Snoot. The longer this Snoot the more concentrated and pointed the light will be in a given area that you choose. Now there is a problem here. As there is no pilot light, it will be difficult to see where it is hitting. You can do a couple of things here. My favorite is, I squint my eyes and do a test flash. By squinting I can see where the flash is hitting with greater accuracy. The other option is by taking several test shots and reviewing where the light is directed. The closer to the subject the more concentrated your light will be. Find someone who would like to sit as your subject. If you wish to do a still life that will also work. Oh, one thing, I prefer that the flash is off camera and attached via a synch cable to your camera or to a synch cable adapter that will attach to the hot shoe of your camera. You will find a way of attaching the flash to one of your stands.
If you have a flash/light meter take a reading of the flash output. 1/4 power might be a good starting point, placing the flash head about 1.5 to 2 meters from the subject. If you dont have a meter. Set up your camera in M mode and find a starting point of lets say, f5.6 at 1/30 second at 100 iso. If it is too bright adjust accordingly i.e f8.0 etc. One more thing. If your snoot is casting too much light, you can always place another tin can over the can being used to make it longer. You now have the primary light. We will discuss this further in a moment. Do you have a plant or a cool sculpture or cool object lying around? This will be your secondary layer in the image. Take one of your 60-100 watt light bulb with metal clip and place another Snoot over it, before turning on of course. This is where the Construction Gloves come in to play. I dont want you burning yourself. Once the Snoot has been well placed over the light and it should be at least 20 cm long (8″), place the plant or object out of the planned crop of the image i.e. to the left or right of where the subject is, but NOT seen in the view finder. Aim the light at the plant or object and cast a shadow on to the back wall. Experiment with where you wish to cast the shadow. Remember those black cardboard sheets we talked about? You will want two for this exercise. Place one on either side of your subject, but out of view in your view finder. We can call these Scrims. These will block the flash light from hitting the background and ruining the effect of the shadow cast by the secondary light.
Now lets get back to the principal light i.e. the flash head. You might want to light the subject selectively by moving the flash closer to illuminate the upper half of the body and let it fall off to the lower half. Its your choice. Now that you have set up the two lights, it is time to do some metering. In M3 mode read what you are getting on the secondary object. Lets say it is f5.6 at 1/15th of a second. Now read the wall where the secondary light is hitting. Dont read the shadow! This might be f2.0 at 1/15th of a second. Now that you have this info, it is time to adjust the principal flash hitting the main subject. This becomes a creative decision. Why, because it now becomes a proportionate lighting exercise where the more light that hits the main subject, the darker the background. Lets try f8.0 on the subject (this is just a starting point). Ok, you have f2.0 on the back wall, f5.6 on the object casting the shadow and f8.0 on the subject. Set your shutter speed at 1/15th of a second at f8.0 and start to take some test images. If the background is too dark for your taste, reduce the flash output to f5.6 etc You can try 1/4 to 1/60th of a second and everything in between.
Play with this for a while until you are satisfied with the outcome.
I will go further in Part 4

Continuous vs Flash Lighting and Everything in Between Part 4
Continuous vs Flash Lighting and Everything in Between Part 4
Now that you have your light set up for the model and the reflection of the object on the back ground, it is time to determine the ambiance your wish to create. If you are looking for a more "Cinema Noir" look you may wish to isolate the foreground from the background by increasing the out put of the flash on the subject and letting the background go darker by another 1 to 2 stops. But this may also pose other problems that I call "light bleed". The spread of light throughout the space by virtue of light bouncing off of surfaces around the space. What I suggest you do here might be the following. Take some aluminum foil and form it in to a conical shape to reduce the size of the area that the light will cover. If you have thin sheet metal, this might prove to be more controllable, as you can adjust the circumference of the opening to your taste. Another approach is to take a piece of aluminum foil and place it on the front of the can facing the model and poke 10-20 pen "Bic" pen width holes in to it to produce "specular" light. This will of course reduce the flash output considerable and as a result you may wish to augment the shutter speed to compensate the how this will effect the proportion between the foreground and background.
It is very important that you do not spill too much light on to the back ground, as it will negate much of the shadow produced by the background light being cast on the wall. For this I suggest several possibilities. One, is to raise the light about three feet above the subject and shooting down at around 60 degrees. This may work well, if the wall is at least 5 meters behind the subject. I love side lighting and although not always becoming to the model, it does add a very mysterious feel to the image and gives the background more drama, as there is very little light bleed from the principal light source. You may wish to introduce a lamp in to the composition to act as the "Faux" source of the light casting the shadow on to the wall. Very Hitchcock looking.
One of the most important parts of a shoot is keeping open to the possibilities when shooting a subject. Now even though you set up the lights to be in a certain position, based on the fact that you will be shooting from the opposing position, I would also suggest considering another approach as well, which I will discuss in the next segment of this series.
I will see you for part 5 shortly. Got to prepare for two major shoots, so pardon this short episode.
Continuous vs Flash Lighting and Everything in Between Pt 5
Continuous vs Flash Lighting and Everything in Between Pt 5
In Part 4,we were left facing the subject, we had tested the light and had to determine the difference between the foreground and background intensity. That was a very personal decision. You also had to decide how much of the principal subject was going to be lit.
Now that you have done your test shots and are satisfied with how it looks, you can commence shooting with this very simple lighting set up. The first thing to consider is, how will the focal length change the overall look of the image and to this end I highly recommend using a wide to medium telephoto zoom. The reason I say this is that the closer you come in to the image the less intense the contrast will appear between the foreground and the background. It is for this reason, that I want you to experiment with a 16,17,18 to 45,50,70 lens. This is much more dramatic than you can imagine using this lighting technique.
In the last segment I also mentioned considering a different approach and this has been one of the very seminal moments of illumination for me in my 25+ years in photography and that is "Always break away from your assumed position and orientation, without changing the lighting of the principal person or object..." This approach has always given me some of my best images. In other words, when you have set up the lights for a particular orientation i.e. you are here and she is there, start to move away from that position and start to rotate around the subject having them follow you with a slight change of the head position and eye orientation, then gradually having them follow your movement or moving against your movement. Lay on the floor, or stand up on a cube, or come in really really tight or pull back really far and place her at the bottom right quadrant of the image, taking up only 20 percent of the surface area.
As you start to do this you may find that there might be some additional lighting that you wish to introduce, especially in very wide angle shots for this scenario.
We shall get in to more detail in Part 6
During this time, I free up the model's pose and give nuanced instrcutions, v small but liberated from what I had imagined before, just playing of that person's figure and vibe.
Now, where I'm interested is how to benefit from adding new light when one does this, but without losing the pace and magic of the moment. I'm looking to see how you use light and color splashes or small spots, so I'm really interested in learning how you do this next stage. This is so valuable!
Thanks so much for your amazing generosity in sharing so much with us.

Benjamin Kanarek Lit for Contrasting Elements
In this section, we will discuss the importance of scale. In the last sentence of Part 5 I said "that there might be some additional lighting that you wish to introduce, especially in very wide angle shots for this scenario." What I mean by that is, in order for a viewer to discern changes in contrast, highlight and shadow in an image there must be sufficient information to do so. As a result you must consider this when lighting the scene. A little light goes a long way when next to a very dark and shadowy segment of an image. Contrasting elements make an image interesting and to this end I suggest you either add or remove modifiers selectively to make the image more varied and interesting. As you come in closer to the model or object you are shooting, all of the surrounding elements become obscured thus rendering a totally different ambiance to the image. If you are going to come in close and still wish to capture the drama of a pulled back photo, you will have to re-light the image for that composition.
This is where much smaller modifiers come in to play. I suggest you cut some cardboard squares of around 3, 6 and 9 inches. These modifiers can be white satin or brilliant paper. As in a Still Life image you can now bounce the light off of the flash in to sections of the image that fall with in the framing you have decided on. These can be held by an assistant or attached to stands.
Start to take test images and adjust for your desired outcome. Move the reflectors closer for less coverage and further back for more. I also suggest playing with the output of the flash to view the differences between the fore and background ratio.
You may also consider bouncing light off of the tungsten light bulbs. If you are concerned about the colour balance, I suggest purchasing a sheet of "Full Blue" gelatine and cut a small square to cover the light bulb. Make sure you attach it t least three inches from the bulb to avoid burning the gelatine. If you do this you will loose about a stop of light. In this case augment the power of the bulb to about 100-150 watts.
In Part 7, I will discuss a more complex lighting set up for the same setting.

In Part 6
I stated that I would discuss a more complex set up of the same setting. When using your standard flash head, i.e. (those that usually are fixed to the hot shoe), they never come with a pilot or modeling light. What I suggest you consider here is placing a 60-100 watt light bulb directly above or below your flash unit to mirror the direction of the flash you will be using. What I also suggest is that you frame that pilot light in the same manner as you did with your flash. For example if you built a "Snoot" for your flash our of an elongated tin can you could mirror that on on your pilot light. The ideal situation would be to place your flash slightly behind the pilot light bulb and share the same snoot. This would then cast only one shadow. However, as the light bulb can be very hot, this must cause damage to the flash unit. You might consider using cold lamps that generate very little heat by comparison, thus allowing you to apply this configuration.
I would like to introduce another element that can be used quite creatively and that is what is called "Barn Doors". "Barn Doors" look just like what you might think and that is two small perhaps black cardboard or metal rectangular shaped modifiers around 6-9 inches wide by 8-12 inches long that frame the flash or tungsten light unit allowing you to frame the light coming of of your lighting source. The more you close these barn doors the tighter the light becomes on the subject you are lighting. It is ideal that you find a way to pivot these panels. This will make it a lot easier to manipulate. You can add two more barn doors horizontally, allowing you to create a horizontal and vertical window of light. You may wish to use several of these units to create some very interesting lighting landscape in your composition. If the light is too harsh, you may also add a diffuser to soften the light coming from your source.
I hope you have found this mini series helpful and hope it gave you the inspiration to experiment and to break with convention. When it comes to lighting, the sky is the limit.
In Part 8, I will discuss a totally new lighting set up.

Girly Bits: Canadian Eh? is a glitter topcoat polish consisting red and white glitters of different sizes in both hex and squares. There's also a beautiful microshimmer that really adds awesome depth to it. I didn't realize that it had it until I applied it. AND I LOVE IT! :)
I think Nails Inc. Baker Street is fast becoming one of my most favorite polishes. It takes 2 coats and it's just amazing.

A pelvis MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) scan is a imaging test that uses a machine with powerful magnets and radio waves to create pictures of the area between the hip bones. This part of the body is called the pelvic area.
Structures inside and near the pelvis include the bladder, prostate and other male reproductive organs, female reproductive organs, lymph nodes, and pelvic bones.
An MRI does not use radiation. Single
Alternative Names
MRI – pelvis; MRI – hips; Pelvic MRI with prostate probe; Magnetic resonance imaging – pelvis
How the test is performed
You may be asked to wear a hospital gown or clothing without metal fasteners. Certain types of metal can cause inaccurate images.
You lie on your back on a narrow table. The table slides into the middle of the MRI machine.
Small devices, called coils, may be placed around your hip area. These devices help send and receive the radio waves, and improve the quality of the images. If pictures of the prostate and rectum are needed, a small coil will be placed into your rectum. This coil must stay in place for about 30 minutes while the images are taken.
Some exams require a special dye called contrast media. The dye is usually given before the test through a vein (IV) in your hand or forearm. The dye helps the radiologist see certain areas more clearly.
During the MRI, the person who operates the machine will watch you from another room. The test most often lasts 30 to 60 minutes, but may take longer.
How to prepare for the test
You may be asked not to eat or drink anything for 4 to 6 hours before the scan.
Tell your doctor if you are afraid of close spaces (have claustrophobia). You may be given a medicine to help you relax and be less anxious. Or your doctor may suggest an open MRI in which the machine is not as close to the body.
Before the test, tell your health care provider if you have:
- Brain aneurysm clips
- Artificial heart valves
- Heart defibrillator or pacemaker
- Inner ear (cochlear) implants
- Kidney disease or dialysis (you may not be able to receive contrast)
- Recently placed artificial joints
- Vascular
- Worked with sheet metal in the past (you may need tests to check for metal pieces in your eyes)
Because the MRI contains strong magnets, metal objects are not allowed into the room with the MRI scanner:
- Pens, pocketknives, and eyeglasses may fly across the room.
- Items such as jewelry, watches, credit cards, and hearing aids can be damaged.
- Pins, hairpins, metal zippers, and similar metallic items can distort the images.
- Removable dental work should be taken out just before the scan.
How the test will feel
An MRI exam causes no pain. If you have difficulty lying still or are very nervous, you may be given a medicine to relax you. Too much movement can blur MRI images and cause errors.
The table may be hard or cold, but you can request a blanket or pillow. The machine produces loud thumping and humming noises when turned on. You can wear ear plugs to help reduce the noise.
An intercom in the room allows you to speak to someone at any time. Some MRIs have televisions and special headphones that you can use to help the time pass.
There is no recovery time, unless you were given a medicine to relax. After an MRI scan, you can resume your normal diet, activity, and medications.
Why the test is performed
This test may be done if a female has any of the following signs or symptoms:
Abnormal vaginal bleeding
A mass in the pelvis (felt during a pelvic exam or seenon another imaging test)
A pelvic mass that occurs during pregnancy
Endometriosis (usually only done after ultrasound)
Pain in the lower belly (abdominal) area
Unexplained infertility (usually only done after ultrasound)
Unexplained pelvic pain (usually only done after ultrasound)
This test may be done if a male has any of the following signs or symptoms:
Lumps or swelling in the testicles or scrotum
Undescended testicle (unable to be seen using ultrasound)
Unexplained pelvic or lower abdominal pain
Unexplained urination problems, including trouble starting or stopping urinating
A pelvic MRI may be done in both males and females who have:
Abnormal findings on an x-ray of the pelvis
Birth defects of the hips
Injury or trauma to the hip area
Unexplained hip pain
A pelvic MRI is also frequently done to see if certain cancers have spread to other areas of the body. This is called staging. Staging helps guide future treatment and follow-up and gives you some idea of what to expect in the future. A pelvic MRI may be used to help stage cervical, uterine, bladder, rectal, prostate and testicular cancers.
Normal Values
A normal result means your pelvic area appears normal.
What abnormal results mean
Abnormal results in a woman may be due to:
Bladder cancer
Cancer of the renal pelvis or uretersthat has spread from the kidneys
Cervical cancer
Colorectal cancer
Congenital defect of the reproductive organs
Endometrial cancer
Ovarian cancer
Ovarian growths
Problem with the structure of the reproductive organs, such as the fallopian tubes
Uterine fibroids
Abnormal results in a man may be due to:
Bladder cancer
Cancer of the renal pelvis or uretersthat has spread from the kidneys
Colorectal cancer
Prostate cancer
Testicular cancer
Abnormal results in both males and females may be due to:
Avascular necrosis
Birth defects of the hip joint
Bone tumor
Hip fracture
Consult your health care provider with any questions and concerns.
What the risks are
MRI contains no radiation. To date, no side effects from the magnetic fields and radio waves have been reported.
The most common type of contrast (dye) used is gadolinium. It is very safe. Allergic reactions to the substance rarely occur. But gadolinium can be harmful to patients with kidney problems who require dialysis. If you have kidney problems, tell your health care provider before the test
The strong magnetic fields created during an MRI can cause heart pacemakers and other implants to not work as well. It can also cause a piece of metal inside your body to move or shift.
Special considerations
Tests that may be done instead of a pelvic MRI include:
CT scan of the pelvic area
- Vaginal ultrasound (in women)
- X-ray of the pelvic area
A CT scan may be done in emergency cases, since it is faster and usually available right in the emergency room.

Jean Wade necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 92 diseños de 24 diseñadores freelance.
b.e. - boutique events
Women owned Boutique Event company. We are two women in our twenties trying to survive in a mans world, therefore we have decided the only way to avoid the glass ceiling is to go out on or own.
We have spent the past couple years working for a catering company designing and planning both coporate and residential events from start to finish. We have decided to build our own event planning company that will still service corporate and residential clientle.
We would like the logo to be the name which is b.e. standing for boutique events. We like the letters to be lowercase. b.e. will aslo represent letting the client 'be' whatever they wish. We also want to make the client know that they will recieve 'boutique-ee' treatment. Everything will be very personal. As for colors, we have played with the idea of purple being as it is a royal color. Purple and yellow seem to be a possible match. Teal has also popped up in our brain a couple times as well. With this being said, we are very open. Let your imagination soar!
We feel as though once we have a logo it will be the starting point to our future. This logo will inspire and represent who we are. This logo will take us everywhere we want to go.
We do not want the logo to be gender specific but keep in mind our target audience by default will probably be female. We are appealing to (upscale) brides, clients planning soirees such as birthday parties, bar and bat mitzvahs, themed events and just anyone who wants to have a party. We do not want the logo to be too delicate and 'fru fru' being as we would like to also stay in the corporate world as well.
I'm sure you've all heard this a million times, but we do want to be different. We want someone seeing our logo to feel comfortable, clean, and taken care of.
We are looking for a logo to represent b.e. boutique events.
We want the logo to incorporate b.e.
Elegant but attainable.
Please no script or cursive font.
Keep in mind the idea does not need to fit on a standard business card because at this time we don't think we would like the standard card look.
We will need a jpeg and pdf formate. Plus we would appreicte if you would provide us with all of the PMS colors.

Empowering Youth with Disabilities in Bangladesh: Providing ICT Skills
In Bangladesh, youth with disability often have difficulty transitioning to work, as they lack the necessary skills to perform competitively in the job market and also face discrimination from employers on the basis of their disability. When the World Bank and Microsoft announced the regional grant competition "Youth Solutions! Technology for Skills and Employment", we decided to submit a proposal to address this from the Young Power in Social Action (YPSA) in Bangladesh.
Our proposed project titled "Empowering Youth with Disabilities through Market Driven ICT Skills" sought ideas from youth on how to use innovative and creative methods to promote ICT skills amongst youth with disabilities to help them secure gainful employment.
