Just a few quick notes for you on this Tuesday.
Animal Sacrifice, Factory Farming, and Palo Mayombe: Religion Dispatches has an excellent essay up by Meera Subramanian, senior editor of Killing the Buddha, on the recent case of William Camacho, a practitioner of Palo Mayombe whose barber shop was shut down after sacrificial chickens were found in the basement. Subramanian compares the actions of religions that engage in animal sacrifice to the factory farming industry, and suspects that public discomfort with one and not the other is all down to issues of visibility.
"Last year alone, about eight billion chickens were slaughtered in the U.S., according to the USDA. So why does the idea of animal sacrifice so easily fall into the realm of heebie jeebies? Why do stories about people like Camacho and their doomed animals get picked up so quickly, not just by ABC, but also sites with names like Wacky Bastards? […] Camacho broke the rules. No chickens within city limits. But what shutting down his barbershop and the initial talk of throwing animal cruelty charges at him reveals is really our discomfort and alienation from the animals at the heart of the New Bedford controversy. It lays bare our preference that animal killings, whether as a part of a religious ritual or not, stay hidden out of view. It asks that any connection that animals might have to the spirit world remain tamely leashed to our household pets."
I recommend reading the entirety of Subramanian's essay. As for Camacho and Bad Boyz Cutz? The barber shop is open for business once more, and no charges are being filed against him at this time. He's still seeking advice from attorneys.
Burning Man Celebrates its 25th Anniversary: Burning Man in Nevada is now under way. The temporary city in Nevada's Black Rock Desert celebrates its 25th anniversary this year with a "Rites of Passage" theme. This year marks the first time the event has sold out, and also sees the event transition into a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting the festival's ideology outside the famous once-per-year event. What is that ideology? Lee Gilmore, author of "Theater in a Crowded Fire: Ritual and Spirituality at Burning Man", argues for the event being "pagan" at its roots.
"No one I've ever spoken to (and I've been attending and researching this event since 1996) has ever come right out and called Burning Man a religion–Pagan or otherwise–and the event's organizers have repeatedly stated as much for years. However, I think in some ways it can be considered to be a pagan (note the lower case) phenomenon. In this meaning, I see the uppercase term "Pagan" as referring to our various Neopagan traditions–that is the sets of practices, beliefs, and communities that are seen as (albeit loosely) constituting our family of religions–while I use the lowercase term "pagan" as a more general adjective.
In this sense, I am thinking of Michael York's concept of "root religion," which identifies paganism as a set of shared–yet diversely constituted–primal religious tendencies that broadly underlie all global religions. As he stated, "inasmuch as paganism is the root of religion, it confronts the earliest, the most immediate, and the least processed apprehensions of the sacred. This is the experiential level on which paganism in both its indigenous and contemporary forms wishes to concentrate." (see York's Pagan Theology)
Burning Man has a similarly embodied, experiential, and ritualized quality. This feeling is in part engendered by the encounter with nature in Nevada's Black Rock desert. In the beauty and essential simplicity of this vast dusty arena–as well as in the visceral physical experience of its arid and demanding environment–many participants encounter a sense of the transformative and numinous."
Recent data suggests that Burning Man is becoming more religious, political, and female as it ages, though critics still contest the event is a "dead-end cult." For more on how Burning Man is small-p "pagan" check out the rest of Gilmore's guest post for The Wild Hunt. You may also want to read the interview conducted with her at Religion Dispatches last year.
Debating Dominionism: In final note, the debate and discussion over what Christian Dominionism exactly is, whether its worth talking about, and whether it is or isn't a threat, continues. At Religion Dispatches Sarah Posner and Anthea Butler have an excellent discussion that digs deep into the subject, and goes beyond the alarmism and denial currently dominating coverage.
"I view with a jaundiced eye these journalists who think that by the mere act of writing an 800 word op-ed they're going to wave a wand over people of faith and make their beliefs go away. Not Happening. Yes, not every conservative Christian is a Dominionist, but to say a movement doesn't exist, without even being able to say what it is in an op-ed is just irresponsible. It also shows what the real issue is.
For the last 30 years, journalists have had an easy time reporting on the religious right, because all they did was pay attention to to white male leaders of big organizations like Focus on the Family, National Association of Evangelicals, or Family Research Council. The days when a nice soundbite from Jerry Falwell, James Dobson, or Ted Haggard would suffice are over. If journalists and others want to understand the last 10 years of the religious right movement, they will need to pay attention to the theological, religious, and ethnic diversity among evangelicals, Pentecostals, and non-denominational churches. They will at least need to recognize the old and new leaders of the religious right, and the complex network of leaders, conferences, and teachings if they want a reductionist argument they can spin out in 800 words. As someone who has studied and written about Pentecostalism for over 15 years, their lack of basic knowledge is staggering, and although I don't expect people to get it like I do, I do expect reporters and journalists to do their homework—like you do, Sarah!"
In addition to that, Fred Clark at Slacktivist points out that Dominionism has been a serious concern within conservative Christian circles for some time now, and certainly not a myth. He also notes that if you don't want to be seen as a Dominionist, you should probably avoid hiring them. Right Wing Watch echoes Clark by asking why, if Dominionism is a liberal myth used to attack conservative Christians, does it have conservative critics? At Talk To Action Chip Berlet responds to the latest wave of Dominionist coverage backlash from figures like Ross Douthat and Mary Eberstadt (more here). For my run-down of the debate up to this point, check out this post.
That's all I have for now, have a great day!

I found a funny video on our old trade rumour buddy 'Eklund'.
There are a few f-bombs so careful if you are viewing at work but it is really funny and worth the watch!
Also, why not watch this one more time:
That's more like it Dion, much better over the last four contests.
My source (let's call him "Kramer") thinks Brian Burke might've dragged him into his office and gave him a tongue lashing, "Pick up your game, you are not scoring, f'n hit somebody!".
Until next time.

Loyola Greyhounds vs. Lehigh Mountain Hawks
Sunday, April 25, 2014 | 1:00 p.m.
Baltimore, Md. | Ridley Athletic Complex | CBS Sports Network
Quick Hits About The 'Hounds
Loyola University Maryland will host the Patriot League Championship Game at Ridley Athletic Complex, on Sunday, April 27.
The top-seeded Greyhounds will play third-seeded Lehigh University at 1 p.m.
Lehigh edged No. 2 seed the U.S. Military Academy, 12-11, and Loyola topped No. 4 seed Colgate University, 12-6, in Friday's semifinals.
Loyola went 8-0 to win the Patriot League Regular-Season title and earn the right to host the Patriot League Championships.
The Greyhounds are looking for their second conference tournament title in three years. They also won the 2012 ECAC Lacrosse League Championship.
Joe Fletcher leads all close defenders nationally in ground balls (66) and ground balls per game (4.71).
Pat Laconi is tops among NCAA Division I non-pole players in caused turnovers (27) and caused turnovers per game (1.93).
Justin Ward and Nikko Pontrello entered the week ranked second and third in assists and goals per game, respectively, in the NCAA. After the Colgate game, their averages are 3.21 and 3.14.
Last Time Out
Loyola used two 3-0 runs and a 4-0 run to take control of Friday's Patriot League Semifinal against Colgate University, as the Greyhounds defeated the Raiders, 12-6.
Brian Schultz scored four goals and assisted on another, and Justin Ward matched his team-high five points with two goals and three assists.
Colgate's Cameron Williams scored his first of two goals with 1:31 left in the third quarter to send the teams into the second frame with Loyola in front, 3-2.
Schultz, however, scored his first goal 38 seconds into the second quarter, and Nikko Pontrello added a goal at 4:21. Schultz then tallied his second of the quarter with 3:06 left in the half, and Loyola led 6-2 at halftime.
After a 38-minute lightning delay early in the third quarter, Schultz capped the 4-0 run with a goal at 5:22 left in the third.
The Raiders got two goals within 61 seconds of each other to close the third, but Ward, Ryan Fournier and Schultz scored for a 3-0 fourth-quarter run that put the game out of reach.
Joe Fletcher tied his career-high with five caused turnovers in the contest.
Turn On The Television
All three games in the Patriot League Championships will be broadcast live, nationally on CBS Sports Network. Dave Ryan will call the play-by-play, and Evan Washburn will handle the analysis of the action.
The game is one of six that will feature the Greyhounds on the network. The entire Patriot League Championships, as well as game against Johns Hopkins University on May 3 will be broadcast live. Loyola's games versus Duke University, at Georgetown University and against Bucknell University were also on the network.
In The Polls
With last Thursday's win against Bucknell, Loyola remained in the No. 1 spot of both the USILA coaches and Warrior/Inside Lacrosse media polls for the fifth week in a row.
The Greyhounds have been ranked No. 1 at some point in each of the last three seasons. This stretch is the longest Loyola has been ranked first since spending nine-straight at the top from March 15-May 10, 1999.
Series History
Loyola and Lehigh will meet for the ninth time on the lacrosse field when the teams take the field Saturday.
Prior to the teams' regular-season meeting at Lehigh on March 1, the Greyhounds, who are 8-0 all-time against the Mountain Hawks, last played Lehigh on April 15, 1998. Loyola won that game 20-2 at Curley Field in a season which the Greyhounds would reach the NCAA Semifinals.
In the teams' regular-season game, Kevin Ryan scored a career-high five goals, and Jack Runkel made 13 saves. The Mountain Hawks tied the score, 3-3, with two goals late in the first quarter, but Loyola outscored them 4-0 in the second as part of an 8-1 run that covered both halves.
All-League Awards
Three Loyola players earned individual awards on Monday when the Patriot League honors were announced. Joe Fletcher was named Defensive Player of the Year, Jack Runkel Goalkeeper of the Year and Justin Ward Offensive Player of the Year.
The trio was also named to the All-Patriot League First Team along with teammates Pat Laconi, Nikko Pontrello and Brian Sherlock. Kevin Ryan was named to the Second Team. Loyola's seven All-League players were the most by any team this season.
Get To Ten
Since Charley Toomey became head coach at Loyola in 2006, the Greyhounds have scored 10 or more goals on 67 occasions. After defeating Colgate, 12-6, on Friday, Loyola has won 82.1 percent of those games (55-12).
Since 2012
Loyola has the best winning percentage in NCAA Division I men's lacrosse since the start of the 2012 season. The Greyhounds are 42-7 during that stretch (18-1 in 2012, 11-5 in 2013 and 13-1 this season) for a .857 mark. Loyola's winning percentage of .928 this season is the best nationally.
Only Duke has won more games (43) than Loyola during the run, but the Blue Devils are second to the Greyhounds in winning percentage nine percent (43-13, .767).
Chart Toppers
A pair of Greyhounds attackers are near the top of two offensive categories through games of Friday, April 25, in both total goals and assists. Nikko Pontrello is third in Division I with 44 goals, while Justin Ward is second with 45 assists.
The duo is the No. 2 point-scoring tandem in the country with 114 combined points (Ward, 60; Pontrello, 54). Albany's Lyle (88) and Miles (85) have a combined 173.
Tops Among Close Defenders
Joe Fletcher not only leads Loyola in ground balls, total (66) and per game (4.71), this season, but more impressive than that, he paces all close defenders nationally in the categories. Fletcher is 46th overall in ground balls per game, while the 45 players who are ahead of him are either face-off specialists or long-stick midfielders who play on the wings during restarts.
And Short-Sticks, Too
Meanwhile, Pat Laconi leads all non-pole defenders nationally in caused turnovers and caused turnovers per game. With a career-high five against Bucknell, he has caused 27 this season while averaging 1.98 per game. He entered the Patriot League Championships eighth in the nation, and the seven players ahead of him in the rankings are all long-stick midfielders or close defenders.
Record-Setting Quarterback
Justin Ward has continued to be the quarterback of the Greyhounds' offense this year, passing out 45 assists in 14 games. With his third and final assist on April 12 against Boston University, Ward passed Sean Heffernan for first-place in school single-season history at the Division I level.
He is second in the nation in total assists (45), and he is also second in the country, and tops in the Patriot League, with 3.21 assists per game this year. The 45 assists are tied for second in Patriot League history, three shy of matching Bucknell's David Dickson's record of 48 from a year ago.
With four assists against Duke on March 9, Ward set Loyola's career Division I record (since 1982) in total assists, eclipsing the mark of 83 set from 1989-92 by Jim Blanding. His three at Colgate gave him 100 for his career, making him the second player in program history ever to reach the century mark.
Ward now has 112 career assists. Gary Hanley holds the all-time Loyola record with 160 assists. Ward is also sixth in school Division I history in total points with 166, 14 away from tying Gewas Schindler (1996-99) for fifth place. His 60 points this season are tied for seventh in school single-season history.
Ward is in his third year as a starter on attack for the Greyhound after earning USILA All-America Honorable Mention last year after finishing tops on the team in points (62) and assists (35) and second in goals (27). His 62 points ranked tied for fifth in school single-season Division I history, and his 35 assists check in at third on that list.
Pontrello Putting Up Points
Nikko Pontrello was held without a goal for the first time this season on April 5 against Navy, snapping a streak of 10-straight games to start the season that Pontrello had two or more goals. He rebounded, however, with three goals and two assists versus Boston University and three goals and an assist versus Bucknell. Through games of Friday, April 25, Pontrello is third in the nation in total goals with 44.
He scored two in the season-opener at Virginia and then had three each against Penn State and Towson before scoring a career-high six goals at Holy Cross. He then tallied four at Lehigh, five against Duke, three at Georgetown, five versus Lafayette and three against Colgate, Boston University and Bucknell. He has now scored two or more in 12 of 14 games this year.
Two of his goals have been game-winners in one-goal contests. Pontrello scored 19 seconds into overtime to give Loyola a 12-11 win at Penn State, and he then tallied one with 51.4 seconds left in regulation to push the Greyhounds past Georgetown, 10-9.
Pontrello's 44 goals this season rank fifth in school single-season history, one shy of tying Kevin Beach's 1993 total for fourth.
Stopping Shots
After opening the season with a .214 save percentage in the opener at Virginia, Jack Runkel has played to a .647 mark, saving 143 out of 221 shots on goal he's faced. In a six-game stretch against Towson, Holy Cross, Lehigh, Duke and Army, Runkel made 61 saves and allowed just 26 goals (.701).
The senior goalkeeper earned a record five Patriot League Goalkeeper of the Week honors this year and was named the conference's Goalkeeper of the Year. He has a goals against average of 6.80 this season and a cumulative saves percentage of .621 through 14 games. He is second in the nation in saves percentage and third in goals against average.
In three years as a starter for the Greyhounds, Runkel has a 7.63 goals against average and .569 saves percentage. Runkel's record between the pipes is 40-6. He is second in wins among active goalkeepers, trailing only Maryland's Niko Amato who has 43 victories. Amato, however, is a four-year starter, while Runkel did not start until early in his sophomore season.
Fletch, White And Blue
Senior defender Joe Fletcher was the lone current collegiate player selected as part of one of 52 players who made up the United States Men's National Team training roster this fall, and the day before Loyola's season-opener, he found out he is one of 30 players who made the cut for the team that will compete at the 2014 World Cup in Denver.
He later had seven ground balls and causing a turnover against Duke. He also was primarily responsible for holding the Blue Devils' All-American attacker Jordan Wolf to one goal.
Versus Colgate, Fletcher was matched up against Ryan Walsh, and he held the Raiders' leading scorer without a goal or assist for the first time in his career, a total of 42 prior games. He then marked Navy's T.J. Hanzsche, holding him without a point for the first time in 15 games. He then snapped the 41-game point-scoring streak of Bucknell's David Dickson on April 17, holding him without a shot.
In all, the players Fletcher has had primary marking responsibilities for have tallied 11 goals in 13 games this year (including three each by the University of Virginia's Mark Cockerton and Penn State University's Shane Sturgis in the season's first two games). Four of those goals have come when Fletcher was already out of the game late in the fourth quarter.
Fletcher has been named Patriot League Defensive Player of the Week five times this year, the most any player in conference history has earned the award. He leads the Greyhounds with 61 ground balls and caused turnovers (19). His 69 career caused turnovers are third all-time at Loyola behind the 90 of P.T. Ricci and 88 of Scott Ratliff.
Not Just Defensive Midfield
Pat Laconi has continued to show his versatility as one of the top short-stick defensive midfielders in the nation while being a player with offensive acumen. The Preseason All-American had a goal against Bucknell to bring his season total to eight goals and three assists and his career numbers to 13 and 12.
Laconi posted four ground balls, matching his career-high, and three caused turnovers at Colgate, the final of each coming with less than 25 seconds remaining to help seal the win. He caused another three turnovers a week later at Navy and then had a career-high five against Bucknell. His team-leading 27 caused turnovers are tops a this season have brought his career total to 68, fourth-most in school history.
Schultz Stepping Up
In his first year as a starter on attack for the Greyhounds, senior Brian Schultz has scored 31 goals, second-most on the team through 14 games. He had the game-winning goal 12 seconds into the second overtime at Navy and less than two weeks later posted a career-best six goals in a win over Bucknell. His four against Colgate in the Patriot League Semifinals have given him 10 in Loyola's last two contests.
Entering this season, Schultz had seen most of his playing time on extra-man opportunities for the Greyhounds, posting a combined three goals and five assists.
Near The Top At Both Sides
The Greyhounds entered the Championships as the only team to be in the top five of scoring offense and defense at the Division I level. Loyola's goals per game (13.14) rank fifth, and its goals allowed (6.93) are third. As a result, Loyola leads the nation in scoring margin (+6.21).
Games Of Runs
Loyola has used significant runs in all 13 of its games this season, and it has had five stretches of seven or more unanswered goals. In all the Greyhounds have 25 runs of 3-0 or better. Here is a look at their four best scoring stretches:
|Time Covered
|Time Covered
|at Holy Cross
|at Virginia
Tewaaraton Watch Trio, Senior CLASS Award Pair
Loyola is one of three schools (along with Duke) to have three players named Tewaaraton Award nominees. Joe Fletcher, Nikko Pontrello and Justin Ward are semifinalists for the honor of college lacrosse's top player.
Fletcher and Ward were also two of 20 players nationally to be named candidates for the Senior CLASS Award that seniors who have performed at a high level athletically and in the classroom and who have used their platforms as student-athletes to make positive impacts in the community. Earlier this month, they were selected as two of the award's 10 finalists for this year.

The U.S. Supreme Court said on Monday it will not hear an appeal by R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Co. in a Florida case in which it was ordered to pay $28.3 million to a woman whose husband died of lung cancer after decades of smoking its cigarettes.
The justices refused an appeal by the Reynolds American Inc. unit, which argued that its constitutional due process rights had been violated and that the issue could affect thousands of pending cases in Florida against tobacco companies.
In 2009, a state trial court in Pensacola, Florida, ordered Reynolds to pay more than $3.3 million in compensatory damages and $25 million in punitive damages to Mathilde Martin.
Her husband, Benny Martin, died in 1995 of lung cancer that she blamed on his long-time smoking of Reynolds' Lucky Strike cigarettes.
The jury found that Reynolds was 66 percent responsible for his death and that Martin, who started smoking in the 1940s before cigarette packages had health warnings, was 34 percent responsible.
The lawsuit stemmed from the so-called "Engle progeny" cases filed against tobacco companies by sick Florida smokers or their relatives. A class-action lawsuit filed in 1994 by a pediatrician, the late Dr. Howard Engle, produced a $145 billion judgment against cigarette makers six years later.
The Florida Supreme Court overturned the Engle award in 2006 and ruled that the state's smokers could not sue as a class.
But it allowed them to sue individually and upheld the trial jury's findings that smoking causes disease, that nicotine is addictive, that cigarettes are defective and dangerous, and that tobacco companies concealed the health effects of smoking.
In its appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court, R.J. Reynolds argued the state court in the Martin case precluded litigation of issues that had not been necessarily decided during the Engle proceedings, violating its due process rights.
The tobacco companies have been ordered to pay more than $375 million in 60 of the cases arising from the Engle litigation, Reynolds said. Trial dates have been set for 75 more suits for this year.
The Supreme Court case is R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Co. v. Mathilde Martin, No. 11-754.

Getting it Monday - 59
Ordered at 49, got it at 52. Will not go back.
46 My wife said me getting the Tesla is a better mid-life crisis than getting a 20 something year old. I will have to agree..... Did I just say that.......

I'm 66. Did my mid life crisis thing 26 years ago with a Porsche 944 turbo which I still have. All these years I have not been sufficiently impressed by any car to replace the 944T. Until the Model S came along! After 1 month driving - love the car. Feel like 40 again! Anyone want to buy a 1986 Porche 944 turbo?

Essential Insights On Hallux Valgus
Back when I left the didactic world of podiatry school and entered my residency, I was ready for a transition that would blend the books with practice. Of course, the first two surgeries I performed did not fit the mold. The first one was a cartilage articulation preservation procedure (CAPP) and the other was a Keller procedure. The CAPP procedure was familiar to me only in books and the Keller seemed "outdated." To my surprise, both surgeries turned out well and gave me an appreciation that diverse types of procedures can have a good outcome when they are performed well and on the proper patients. Granted, there were old standards like the first metatarsophalangeal fusion and Lapidus procedures but during my residency, new surgical procedures like the Austin and Scarf were coming down the pike for hallux valgus. There were also innovative new procedures (such as the Swanson total joint arthroplasty and Juvara basal osteotomy) that enthusiastic residents like myself quickly adapted. During the first part of my residency, base wedge osteotomies were the norm. We would commonly do them bilaterally, with or without a pin for fixation, and use circlage wire across the osteotomy. Patients usually walked on these osteotomies the day of surgery. Today, a base wedge would not be treated in this manner. The latter days of my training revolved around the Austin procedure. At first, we would not fixate the capital fragment but after a couple of metatarsal heads dislocated, they were all fixated. The Austin was certainly easier to perform than the base wedges and healed a lot faster with fewer complications. Patients were up and in shoes faster.
Five Salient Points On Hallux Valgus Procedures
After performing thousands of hallux valgus procedures of almost every type described in the literature, I would like to share what I have learned from my experience. Closure of the intermetatarsal (IM) angle should not be the primary reason to select a particular surgical procedure. Experience and the literature support the fact that a basilar osteotomy of the first metatarsal will only reduce the IM angle 3 to 4 degrees. In addition, it provides relative elongation of the metatarsal and increases the proximal articular set angle (PASA), creating a "tighter" joint with dorsal jamming on weightbearing. This may necessitate additional distal procedures to reduce these complications. It is also well known that base osteotomies commonly elevate the metatarsal even after periods of nonweightbearing. Reducing the IM angle is still important but it should not be the primary goal in addressing hallux abducto valgus repair. Decompression of the first metatarsophalangeal joint (MPJ) is necessary to allow IM angle reduction and prevent postoperative jamming of the joint and valgus subluxation of the hallux. In my experience of performing first MPJ arthroplasties with or without total joint replacement and fusion, resecting either component of the first MPJ (i.e., via Keller or Mayo procedures) reduces the retrograde forces from the hallux valgus deformity. This leads to decompression of the joint. As a result, the IM angle reduces usually as much or more than with a base wedge procedure. Only in rare cases would one see a very large and rigid IM angle that requires a metatarsal cuneiform fusion or base osteotomy. Since the introduction of the Austin procedure, surgeons have noticed that modifications that shorten and plantarflex the first metatarsal, and allow reduction of the proximal articular set angle facilitate better MPJ motion. This is due to the resultant joint decompression and reduction of dorsal jamming from the head being dropped down and the realignment of the hallux with its metatarsal. Correction of the proximal articular set angle (PASA) should be the primary goal that drives procedure selection. Adaptation of the first metatarsal head to the functional position of the hallux is what creates the PASA. Realigning the deviated metatarsal's articular surface to its new functioning position should be the first priority when reducing the deformity. Then one can reduce the IM angle. Since PASA reduction provides relative lengthening of the metatarsal, one needs to perform some type of decompression procedure as well. This involves first metatarsal shortening and, preferably, concurrent plantarflexion of the metatarsal head to prevent its elevation. Except in extreme cases, one can stabilize hypermobility of the first ray by joint decompression and reduction of the PASA and IM angle. The first ray (navicular, cuneiform and first metatarsal) cannot be stabilized in the transverse plane with a metatarsal-cuneiform fusion. Truly hypermobile first rays would present as a metatarsus primus elevatus on weightbearing radiographs with a navicular-cuneiform ptosis. This would require a navicular-cuneiform fusion of some type if the deformity is very flexible or rigid. If such a deformity exists for the first metatarsal-cuneiform joint, then it would need to be fused for stability. Transverse plane widening of the interspace between the first and second metatarsal bases (IM angle) will reduce without fusion. Functional hallux limitus with or without metatarsus primus elevatus is a component of almost every case of hallux abducto valgus. When evaluating a bunion deformity, one should load the first ray and put the first MPJ through a range of motion. Upon dorsiflexion, the joint will invariably jam, either preventing further dorsal migration (look for a hallux extensus) or causing further dorsiflexion through a valgus rotation of the hallux. In both cases, one needs to decompress and plantarflex the first metatarsal joint. If there is a remaining valgus rotation with the joint loaded, then one would likely need to excise the fibular sesamoid.
Why I Prefer The Modified Weil Osteotomy
I could live with any or all combined procedures that address these five points. The best of all worlds would be one that accomplishes most of these goals easily with the least risk of complication and the quickest recovery for the patient. I have accomplished this via a modified Weil osteotomy through the first metatarsal head in an oblique fashion from dorsal-distal to plantar-proximal. Before the osteotomy, make a medial, curvilinear capsulotomy, allowing exposure of the metatarsal head for resection of the medial eminence. Following the osteotomy, reduce the head of any PASA and then translocate the head laterally to reduce the IM angle. Some shortening has to occur here for joint decompression. This osteotomy allows plantarflexion with concurrent shortening for decompression. However, one should only allow enough shortening to preserve a normal amount of dorsiflexion without jamming the joint. Excessive shortening can cause the hallux to remain dorsiflexed, preventing adequate toe purchase on the ground due to concurrent plantarflexion of the head. In regard to fixation of the osteotomy, one would utilize two 0.62 inch threaded Kirschner wires in the metatarsal head that are cut flush to the bone. Close the capsule with large oblique sutures of 2-0 absorbable material with the hallux held in the corrected position. Allow the patient to ambulate in a surgical shoe and emphasize weekly dressing changes for 18 to 21 days. At that time, one can remove the sutures and place the foot in a mild compression wrap (like a Darco forefoot sleeve), and allow the patient to begin wearing an oversized soft shoe.

First of all, DIYGeigerCounter is a big kit in a small package; it's got more than 40 through-hole parts, on a PCB that would fit in an Altoids gum tin box (Note: only the PCB, not the Geiger sensor itself, which is too long).
The kit contains both the Geiger analog circuit (that generates the high voltage for the tube) and the ATmega328 microcontroller part (that can eventually drive an LCD), together on the same board.
The version I received is 1.0; the version John is selling is 1.4. The differences are minor: the latest revision has the resistors placed horizontally, a few more headers on the processor side and four screw holes in the corners.
Because of the complexity of the circuit, one needs to take the time to read the assembling instructions. There are lots of resistors and capacitors that need to be placed correctly. And then there are the diodes. To determine their orientations (they are not marked on the silkscreen in revision 1.0), one needs to use the continuity meter and the schematic, which is not a bad thing at all, since one learns about the circuit. (I know that the tendency is to just assemble everything in a haste, because I do that myself. I only learn when something goes wrong and the circuit does not work. Then I have to go to the schematic and use the multimeter.) OK, so no shortcuts here; this kit requires a bit of study, checking and identifying the parts, even crossing them off the list once installed (this is what I did).
Needless to say that the kit worked superbly right off the bat. I measured (with a regular voltmeter, not using the method BroHogan describes here) the high voltage, and it is 310V. It may sound dangerous, but I felt nothing when I touched those pads. The assembled Geiger counter is shown below, without the Geiger tube.
Notice the nice clips for the tube. Other kits usually recommend just wrapping some wire around the tube's terminals, or worst, soldering the wires directly to the tube (this procedure may damage the tube, apparently).
The tube I used for partial testing (since I don't have any radioactive materials just yet) was part of another, much simpler (and much more expensive) kit, from electronic goldmine, shown assembled below.
I just inserted the clips over the installed tube and powered DIYGeigerCounter and started clicking (with the LED turning on) every 2 seconds, giving thus a "reading" of about 30 CPM (clicks per minute).
Next step is the addition of the LCD, detailed here. Then, I will need to build and enclosure, so I can take it out on the field and impress my friends when they chose their granite kitchen counter-tops :)

DURHAM — Several members of the University of New Hampshire women's lacrosse team took a break from their busy schedules on Tuesday, Jan. 8 and traveled down to Newtown, Conn. to participate in a youth lacrosse clinic to help heal a community that was stunned by last month's shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School.
UNH head coach Sarah Albrecht and assistant coach Eileen Finn were joined at the clinic by Connecticut native players Meghan Bridges, Amber Casiano and Jenny Simpson. Bridges, a junior attacker, is from the area and attended Sandy Hook Elementary School. The group of New Hampshire players and coaches were joined by members of the Boston College women's lacrosse team and offered instruction at the clinic for Newtown girls, which was organized shortly after the Loyola University men's lacrosse team put on a similar event during the first week of January.
"It was an honor to go down and help as much as we could, in the little way that we could, and have that interaction with those kids," said Albrecht, who enters her first season at the helm.
The clinic was made up of four one-hour sessions for kids ranging from second grade to high school as the Wildcats shared their knowledge of the game, offered instruction in fundamentals and team play, and came together with the Newtown lacrosse community.
"The kids were great. There was a lot of energy on both sides," said Albrecht. "They really had a willingness to learn and we were happy to be there."
The Wildcats open the 2013 season on Saturday, Feb. 16 when they visit Hofstra at 11 a.m.
Frame named AE POW
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. — Morgan Frame, a senior forward on the University of New Hampshire women's basketball team, was honored as America East Player of the Week on Monday.
Frame led UNH to its first America East conference victory of the season – a 63-62 win against UMBC at Lundholm Gym on Jan. 9 – with season highs in both points (20) and rebounds (12) to record her second double-double of the year. Frame shot 72.7 percent (8-for-11) from the floor in the game and was also credited with two assists to garner the team's America East Player of the Game recognition. She scored five of the team's initial 11 points as the Wildcats built their largest lead of the first half at 11-6. Frame entered halftime with 13 points (5 of 8 field goals; 3 of 4 free throws). In the second half, Frame scored one point and pulled down five rebounds during UNH's 10-2 run spanning nearly eight minutes that transformed a 52-47 deficit into a 57-54 lead the 'Cats would not relinquish. In 18 second-half minutes, Frame recorded seven points (3-3 FGs), seven rebounds and two assists.

White Men Can't Jump is getting back into the game.
Kenya Barris, the creator of ABC's acclaimed comedy Black-ish, is teaming with Blake Griffin of the NBA's Los Angeles Clippers and Ryan Kalil of the NFL's Carolina Panthers to develop a remake of the 1992 sports comedy for 20th Century Fox.
Barris will write the script for the project, which falls under his overall film deal with Fox that he signed in September. Barris also will act as a producer.
Griffin and Kalil are producing via their Mortal Media banner, along with their partner Noah Weinstein.
It strikes me as being pretty unnecessary, and trying to capture lightning in a bottle. I'm a fan of the original: it was funny, came along at the right time, and it's one of the best basketball movies out there. However, it's been done; there's nothing else to really do with that story. I guess like most remakes, it creates a version that is more accessible to a new generation with updated cultural references and actors they're more familiar with, but some ideas should just be left alone, especially if they're a product of their era that feel awkward and out of place, even when they're updated with more modern themes and references.

To create an image in one's mind of someone or something being inside of something else, such as clothes, an enclosed space, a location, etc. Picture these sofas inside our living room—wouldn't they just be perfect? The old advice for public speaking is to picture the audience in their underwear, but I don't think that really helps. Picturing myself inside of an office building for eight hours a day makes my stomach turn.

When the first Hawaiians migrated north, South Point at the foot of Mauna Loa is likely the first land they saw from their double-hulled voyaging canoes. The Ka'u coastline is truly a majestic sight.
The Ka'u district, which is the southernmost area of the Big Island and the southernmost tip of the U.S, is still a real estate frontier. This is largest district in the State, but the least populated. At its northern boundary lies Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, undeniably volcano goddess Pele's domain. Dominating the landscape along the coast are black sand beaches and mile after mile of stark lava landscape where forests of ohi'a and a variety of small farms and orchards are flourishing.
Home to several large rural subdivisions created by real estate developers in the mid-1900s as well as historic and culturally significant small villages, Ka'u embraces a very diverse population, many of whom are committed to "keeping country country." Recent proposed resort developments have met with strong community resistance, giving rise to active community groups dedicated to preserving the legacy of ancestral places and the old Hawaiian ways.
Located deep in the hills of Ka'u is Wood Valley, where in 1980 His Holiness the Dalai Lama consecrated and dedicated the Nechung Dorje Drayang Ling Immutable Island of Melodious Sound as a Buddhist temple and retreat. Farther south, along the highway, are the small villages of Pahala and Naalehu. Farther still are the subdivisions of Hawaiian Ocean View Estates, Hawaiian Ocean View Ranchos, Green Sand, Mark Twain and Discovery Harbor.
There are unique real estate opportunities in Ka'u for those who prefer life outside the mainstream. A variety of custom homes, off-grid homes, farms, ranch properties and ocean view lots are available in the Clark Realty Big Island listings.

The conservation team is participating in a project involving the Russell Library, the History Department NUIM, Castle Howard in
The Morpeth Testimonial Roll, wrapped around a gigantic bobbin, measures 412 metres in length and contains around 250,000 signatures gathered from across the whole of
Created in 1841 at the instigation of the Duke of Leinster, Daniel O' Connell and others, this remarkable document marks the occasion of Lord Morpeth departing from his political office in
The roll consists of 652 sheets of paper which were either signed in
This photograph shows one of the sheets sent in the post.
The sheet was sent from Bailyboro, Co. Cavan to
An Irish hand amongst the signatures
The address was written out by T.M. Ray and is both signed and dated within the flourishes of words 'My Lord'.
The sheets are joined by glued paper strips, tail to head, originally creating a continuous length of paper which was subsequently rolled onto a wooden spool. The first two sheets boast an elaborately written address which opens with:
To the Right Honourable Lord Viscount Morpeth The Address of the Nobility, Gentry, Clergy, Merchants, Traders & People of Ireland
First Leaf of the Address Before and After Repair
The vast majority of the paper used is of good quality and retains much of its original flexibility. There are, however, a small number of fragile, chemically unstable, sheets.
The glue used to join the individual sheets has caused staining where it has been applied, though again, not universally. A small number of sheets exhibit staining across the entire surface despite otherwise being of good quality. Paper length and width are not uniform, nor are the weights of individual sheets. All these variables and complexities render the roll vulnerable to damage and degradation. Our role in this project is to facilitate an understanding of the physical object which will complement both research and the future curatorial care of the object itself.
Only during cleaning of the first sheet were gold embellishments to the title revealed, a glimpse into how lavish those first pages were. Edge repair of the sheet protects it from further damage and this combination of investigation, understanding and care are key to our conservation approach.

|How to Save Money on Groceries - Part Two
Many thanks to all who are encouraging this series, especially the readers forwarding thoughtful tips. From some, I hear worry, "I already use so many of the basic ways to save money on groceries. What if they're not enough?" For that, I wish I had an answer. I do know that by writing this series, I am more and more aware of my own habits. Last week I reached for a second bottle of corn syrup, priced two for $something. It was a good deal, yes, but how much corn syrup can one use?
To start at the beginning of this series about How to Save Money on Groceries, see the Introduction and Part One: Frugal Eating Starts in Our Heads
We're still not ready to hit the grocery store. The trick is not to save a few pennies on hamburger or find a bargain on chicken breasts. (Anyone looking for ways to save money on potato chips and boxed pizza at all? You aren't going to find it here.) This is because there is just no question: to save money on groceries, we must rethink what we eat and who's going to cook it. No surprise to regular readers, I think that we cut out prepared food and instead cook real food, ourselves.
Cook something every day, every single day. Make soup one day, cook a roast on the weekend. Put together a grain-based salad that will last several days. Every single day, make something. The objective is to never be faced with cooking an entire meal from scratch, too overwhelming to contemplate at the end of a long workday.
If not every day, find your own rhythm, but do cook on a regular schedule. For some years, my sister had good luck feeding her family by investing much of one weekend day cooking for the entire week. Whatever the rhythm that works in particular circumstances, it's done to avoid the vicious cycle of the drive-through and the convenience of carry-out and delivery. The less we cook at home, the more we pay someone else in order to eat. The more we cook at home, the more we save.
Focus on healthful dishes for meals. For those of us who love to bake, well, we could pop cakes and cookies our of our ovens every day. But to eat both healthfully and frugally, we should first take care of our core nutritional needs for breakfasts, lunches and suppers. Then, once we reach a point where the fridge is stocked with a few days of food, celebrate by cooking something special, brownies or muffins, say.
Recycle & repurpose. That soup? You made enough for lunches during the week and some for the freezer, right? That roast, there's enough for sandwiches and a casserole later in the week, yes? Is it the end of the week and all that's left are bits and pieces of more leftovers? Make Saturday Soup. Waste not, want not.
Extract all the value. When we splurge on bacon, save the fat in a jar in the fridge: it adds great flavor to stews and eggs. When we buy leeks, save the heavy green parts to make No-Waste Leek Stock and use this for making soup or braising meat. When we roast a chicken, after supper throw the carcass into a pot with sliced onion, chopped celery and a bay leaf to make chicken stock. If there's not time after supper, place the carcass in a freezer bag and freeze for cooking on the weekend.
Work toward a handful of recipes that feed the family 'on air'. Call these recipes 'ramen for grown-ups'. Cooked pasta tossed with cooked onion and frozen peas. A quick tomato sauce. Learn how to cook eggs, say French eggs or Ratatouille Omelettes.
Egg Night In fact, set aside one night a week for eggs for supper. While eggs are way up in price, they're still a great value. Plan "egg night" once a week and trade off making omelettes, scrambled eggs, fried eggs, frittatas, more. Then never allow your kitchen to be without one or more of these to be on hand. In fact, let's collect some basic egg recipes from my own sites and my fellow food bloggers.
For the complete collection of egg recipes, see Easy Egg Recipes.
Keep a running list. When running low or finish the last of a staple, add it to a running grocery list that's handy. Mine is on the fridge and is actually five lists - one for the grocery store, one for my favorite international store, another for Wal-Mart, another for Trader Joe's and during the summer, the farmers market.
Food only! List food items separately from paper and cleaning supplies, personal items like shampoo, toothpaste and deodorant. This is a visual reminder that we buy groceries at the grocery store, we buy supplies elsewhere, where they're far cheaper.
Eat for free. Get one more meal from what's on hand. It might well be an odd meal, it might even not be that tasty. But it's 'free' because if we shop and refill the fridge before all those odd bits are gone, chances are, they'll go to waste.
Shop your fridge, freezer & pantry first. Before shopping for groceries, what meals can be put on the table without spending a dime? Use up that soup you made two weeks ago. Do turn that roast pork and leftover cheese into tortillas. My brother-in-law and nephew visited a few weeks ago, arriving a few hours early, leaving me with no time for a planned visit to the grocery store. Only by 'shopping the pantry and freezer', I fed the three of us for a couple of days. One thing I could do better: tracking what's in the freezer, especially since my town is prone to power outages, which is why I now leave the chest freezer in the basement unplugged except at Christmas.
Save the circulars. In the Monday or Tuesday mail, the "junk mail" includes the week's grocery circulars that show what's on sale for the week. Good news, most of the circular can be ignored, pay attention only to the 'real food', which meat, dairy, produce and pantry staples are on sale for the week. Ignore everything with a brand name.
Write a meal plan, a menu, then make a grocery list. At the top of the plan, list what's in the fridge, freezer and pantry, also good values from the circulars. Start with those items to build the week's menu. Be realistic, don't expect to cook a four-course meal every night. Especially if you're starting from scratch, set the goal of cooking one thing (plus, maybe, something easy like cooking a vegetable or making a salad) every day but make enough so there's leftovers. Within a couple of days, you'll set up a continuously feeding system. Every few days, you'll be able to take a day off, just to clean up what's leftover.
Be flexible. If "Tuesday night is always chicken night" you're setting yourself up for extra challenge, price-wise. Be prepared to move with the sale prices, what's in season, what fits with what's already on hand.
Plan the trips. With the price of gas what it is, frequent shopping trips create our own food-related transporation costs. Make the most of the stops. My running lists remind me when I'm nearly out of olive oil (and frozen peas and ...) so it's easy to add a bottle to the cart the next time passing by Trader Joe's.
Wait. What about walking? Is it possible to walk to a grocery? Americans tend to 'walk for exercise' instead of 'walking to get somewhere'. (Admittedly, this is different in dense, inner cities with public transporation where people get around just fine entirely without cars.) I've taken to walking to the farmers market on Saturday mornings: it's cool and the dog loves it. I carry a backpack which limits my purchases.
Keep a copy of standby recipes in the car. But we're all human, plans some times go awry. Let's say you're on your way home, you know you're even out of eggs, you're tired and everyone's hungry. Drive-through night? Carry-out night? Wrong and wrong. Instead, keep a handful of recipes, ones that can made up quick (once you're home), right there in the car. I keep a Word document with these standby recipes written in shorthand form so a single page hold 20 or 30 recipes in small type, two columns.
Feeling motivated? Good! Here are some ways to get started, now, by arming yourself with information and tools.
- What's in your freezer now? your pantry? Make it a running list, adding and subtracting.
- Create a grocery list, one that can be printed and reused. Separate non-food items like paper and cleaning supplies. If you shop at multiple stores, separate by store too.
- Collect three standby recipes in a form that's easy to update and can be accessed from anywhere.

Dustan Sept of Norco Bikes is a beer guy. And true beer guys know that the best beer in a town or city is usually not bottled yet due to volume constraints. So enter the growler, the new standard in taking beer home from your favorite brew pub. It's half a gallon or 4 pints so it's a bit much for an individual to consume but great with a friend or two. The beer in a growler doesn't keep too long so it has to be consumed within a week. And once opened, the growler has to be emptied or the beer will go flat. One of the secrets of the growler is it's filled to the absolute brim so there is no air trapped inside the bottle that will compress and allow the beer to go flat.
But how does one take a growler home, have fun on the local trails and help mother earth at the same time? Dustan is a resourceful guy so he found a way with the 2014 Norco Bigfoot Fat Bike. Note that Dustan maintained good 'honey-do' relations by pretending he's running errands and getting supplies for a picnic.
— Francis Cebedo —
The North Shore Beer Run – Fat Bike Growler Style
Editor's Note: Words and photos by Dustan Sept of Norco Bicycles.
What do you do when you look in the fridge and find some OJ, Cola, Purple Stuff and an empty craft beer growler. Ignore the purple stuff! it is time to pull out your bike and head on a North Shore style beer run.
To do a beer run like this it takes a few unique items.
The first item is a 2014 Norco Bigfoot Fat Bike. If you are about to go on a ridiculous mountain bike beer run carrying an empty 1.89l growler you will likely need a Fat Bike. This need is not necessarily for function but with it you will look damn good along the way. Fat bikes have larger tires than your average bike giving extra traction on snow, ice or when carrying a growler through technical mountain bike terrain.
The second item you will need is a Growler Cage. Specifically designed to take your growler along on any impromptu bike ride this steel cage is wrapped in neoprene to protect the glass container and is mountable on most styles of bicycle. The bottle-fit is quite snug holding the growler firmly but if you decide to go mountain biking with it be careful; It is not designed for this type of use and could likely cause the glass to break under extreme circumstances. If you are seeking a means of carrying your craft beer from the brewery to your favorite beer-drinking location check out the Growler Cage!
The third item on the must-have list is a brewery that is close to the end of your favorite mountain bike trail. In North Vancouver the Deep Cove Brewers And Distillers is set to open their doors on August 23rd at their North Vancouver BC, Dollarton Highway location. If you are out riding the iconic North Shore trails of Mt. Seymour the crew at the Deep Cove Brewery tasting room will be your best friends afterwards! Stop in and say hello, tell them BeerMeBC.com sent you!
With these basic tools, you too can be enjoying the fruits of your labour in the form of a cold craft beer.
Thanks to Norco Bicycles, Growler Cage and Deep Cove Brewers and Distillers for making this video possible.

Junghans Watches
Junghans Watches are a German company established in 1861 and are the decisive company renowned for their famous time keeping. By 1900 they were the largest clock makers in the world. In 1970, they launched the worlds first quartz wristwatch and were the official time keepers to the 1972 Olympic games. They were the inventors of the atomic clock, operated by radio signal to provide the most accurate time keeping in the world. The atomic clock movement is now miniaturised and the make them in wristwatch format. The atomic clocks are amongst the most accurate in the world. They still do maintain some of their original values though and make watches in the traditional manner, that being automatic and hand wound watches.

Junghans Watches also have a proud aeronautical history as they are also well established clock makers - In 1900, they were the largest clock maker in the world. They manufactured dashboard clocks and instruments for the early 20th century fighter aircraft, as well as the instrument panel clocks in the famous Zeppelin air ships.In 1970, they launched the world's first quartz wristwatch and were the official timekeeper for the Olympic Games in Munich in 1972.
Since this time, Junghans have been instrumental in the development of atomic clocks and watches, with installations around the world setting standards for the most accurate time keeping in the world.In addition, Junghans continue to develop environmentally friendly solar powered watches that do not need batteries Junghans Watches are covered by a two year manufacturers warranty

There are days when you go shopping in a strip mall near an airport, buy absolutely nothing, and call it time well spent.
Even though I spent the entirety of Saturday by myself (I did Mom's Day a day early), Sunday proved that I needed more time out from Crabtot. We'd gone out en famille in search of a washer-dryer. Crabtot had half-spun and half-sobbed in her car-seat for the duration of the car trip out to the delightful strip mall that houses Best Buy. I'd thought that, unlike her parents, she'd quite enjoy an examination of front and top-loading washer-dryers for her Sunday outing; after all, these are the things that kids get sort of tickled over, right? But she grew quickly bored and threw herself up and down the aisles, complaining and demanding strawberries and such.
After a spell, Crabhubby and I looked at each other over the Maytags and Whirlpools. "IKEA," I said. "It's a good day for IKEA."
And he said, "Let's go."
Some of you may be confused. Why add a cavernous self-serve homewares depot to an already overburdened family shopping trip? But you are merely the uninitiated or foreigners in an inhumane country that does not offer the splendor of a Scando-warehouse called IKEA. Which is oh so very much more than merely half-cooked cheap furnishings made by people with names like Gunnar Bjirkelund (no doubt the pseudonym of one Jeffrey Weiner of Brooklyn? ...Does IKEA give you Swedish avatars when they hire you, I wonder?) Back to the point, Until moving to Crabcity I had lived a half-life, without IKEA. But Crabcity is more civilized. And the chief sign of that is the presence of IKEA. With its free childcare. That's right, Crabtown friends: free.
When we first spotted IKEA's free childcare room, "Småland," we thought we might be seeing things. Crabtot smashed her nose to the glass in wonder, as children frolicked inside a giant clog. Yes, a giant clog. Which sounds a tad absurd now, but when you are at IKEA it just makes sense, like lingonberries with Swedish meatballs.
For those sadly in the dark, Småland is a "magical forest" where children play like bunny rabbits while their parents argue over whether to get the Malm series of bureau or the Snordgegrone (okay, I made up the last). Småland is where forest fairies bewitch each other inside IKEA children's room products while Mom tries to convince Dad that there's nothing wrong with a $1 towel, and Dad tries to convince Mom that there's nothing wrong with a bedroom that consists entirely of birch-veneered furniture. When did Småland come to be? I don't recall ever seeing it in other IKEAs that I have visited. Mind you, I haven't been to an IKEA in years and back when I last trotted through a Nordic habitat in search of a futon cover or lava lamp or whatever-all I bought in those carefree days, I wasn't even thinking about having children, much less thinking about how to palm them off on others.
"Yay, Small Land!" Crabtot said when we dropped her off, signing a perfunctory info sheet, and attaching an ID sticker to her back. Then we thrust her through a trapdoor that led to that Magic Forest and we bailed...past the Marketplace (where you get big furnishings), through the habitats (where tranquil modern living is simulated in an otherwise tense environment of beleaguered families making what appear to be major life decisions), and made straight for the restaurant. Which basically just rocks. Except that the strudel is frozen. "What time is it?" I asked Crabhub. "Check your phone." You see, at Småland you get only one hour of childcare. Then they buzz you with a pager.
The first time Crabhubby and I did the IKEA date, we felt very pleased with ourselves. Drinking $1 coffee out of china cups, stashed in a pleasing booth beside paper screens stretched with Marimekko-ripoff fabric, we looked out the windows and sipped on freedom. The view was gorgeous. Okay, so the view is basically just the back of the strip mall with the airport parking lot nearby but when you've got one hour of child-free time on the weekend, all childless views are good views.
Our most recent IKEA date was a touch more fraught. We'd just prior to the outing drunk fifty barrels of coffee and so decided to nix sitting and sipping for some random shopping. Except there was nothing we could think of buying. "Napkins," I said firmly to Crabhubby when he expressed reservations over the whole thing and posited that we nix IKEA altogether and go home to clean the house. "I need napkins. And a small white frame."
"Pity they don't let you leave for an hour," Crabhub said. We peered across the strip mall wondering if we'd get caught if we made a break for it and hit the grass island strips adjacent to the cars, to loll upon the lawn and take a nap. Yes, unfortunately there is one major rule of Småland and it's for parents: no leaving the premises. I wondered if my pager would work if we spent the hour upon the grassy knoll near the edge of the IKEA parking lot. But in the end, I'm not a rebel. I can't break laws. The closest I've ever been to law-breaking was an attempt at bathroom graffiti in grad school. With a Pilot Varsity fountain pen that wrote in turquoise ink. (I was getting my Master's in Writing people. Leave me alone.) So it was napkins over naps on strip-mall lawns. We really did need napkins.
But napkin-shopping just isn't the whale of a time it should be when your bloody Småland pager keeps vibrating in your pocket.
Now, first, a word about the IKEA childminders. If you want me to tell you they look perfectly wonderful and beautifully trained and wildly knowledgeable about children, I will. Because to me any warm body looks to be that way of a Sunday afternoon when one's preschooler is preschooling all over you. That said, the grownups in the Magic Forest have more of a desultory look, more of a teenage look, more of a low-slung pants, dyed hair, ipod's-on-shuffle sort of look. They say only two things to you when you drop your child off. "Is she potty trained?" and "Is she over 34" tall?" And you say yes and yes and then stuff her through a trapdoor and Bob's your uncle. Which is why you might actually get a tad nervous when the pager goes off prematurely. Maybe the tot got hurt?! Maybe some bloody bruiser of a boy mashed her delicate leg in the clog?
So Crabmommy sprinted for that Magic Forest. Not so easy to find at IKEA. You're going against the stream, working backwards through habitats: bedroom, bathroom, kitchen, office, patio...When I get to the Forest my eyes roam frantically for a small creature with a puff of uncombed hair and unmatching socks, quite possibly crying or injured near a giant clog. But Crabtot's happy, up a magical woodland climbing wall, oblivious. "Sorry," one of the teens says. 'The pager's just malfunctioning." She gives me a new one.
I race back to Crabhubby. Patio, office, kitchen, bathroom, bedroom. Mostly we've been wandering without purpose or enjoyment. And now I can't find him. And now I have only forty minutes left.
"What about this for the living room?" he asks when I capture him beneath a pallet of wool rugs designed by Sigrid Olafsen and made by children in Guam. We discuss the rug. For about thirty minutes. Oh, how we can discuss a rug! And just when we've reached an agreement on the tone and weave and quality of rug, the pager jiggles again. Off I go. Bedroom, bathroom, kitchen, office, patio. Småland. And I see Crabtot, or rather just her hair. She is DROWNING IN A SEA OF PLASTIC BALLS. "Excuse me!" I say to the teen up front as I point wildly at the ball pit from behind glass (parents can't go into Småland). "I don't think my child can breathe!!" But the teen just smiles as Crabtot stands up and I see the ocean of plastic balls is only about twelve inches deep. To be sure, my child was quite fine, but my pager was not.
"Again?" The teen rolls her eyes. "Sor-ree!" she says to me and hands me another, snapping her gum.
"I can't get much shopping done this way," I say, all huffy, as though I'd come to IKEA to actually shop.
"I'll give you another half-hour then," she says. Score!
Patio, office, kitchen, bathroom, bedroom. Rugs. Crabhusband and I discuss and rationalize the rug for the remainder of the Småland time. This activity is perhaps not quite as peachy-fun as some things (especially since we ended up not buying the rug, or napkins for that matter). Then again, there are other Sunday experiences that make arguing over a rug at a mall on an off-ramp near the airport as bloody fantastic as sharing a pot of Beluga caviar with Javier Bardem.
And so after coming all the way out to a strip mall near the airport of a Sunday, we left Best Buy with no washer/dryer and then we left IKEA empty-handed too. But at IKEA at least, we'd got what we came for. To be empty-handed: that's what we'd really wanted.
Anyone else been to Småland? I think we might go back this weekend. It really is a total all around family win-win-win activity. Or win-times-18 if you're those fundamentalist idiots who are about to have an eighteenth baby.
More giveaways of smashing toddler loveliness right here this Thursday. And Cookie sees new posts twice this week as ever, something about donuts and then Astromommy returns (plug, plug, what-eva, mon)...

Socialist Euro-Style Free Daycare in America: Just go to IKEA!
There are days when you go shopping in a strip mall near an airport, buy absolutely nothing, and call it time well spent.

We occasionally do the IKEA thing as well. We go early with our two little tots and have breakfast together at the restaurant - the breakfast is nothing to write home about but, hey, for 99 cents who can complain? We make sure to get a table near the play area in the restaurant so we can eat while the kids play with the toys, watch a movie and once in while wander back to the table to nosh. Then we send them to Smaland, pick up our pagers and wander around a bit. Sometimes, I confess, I just go back to the restaurant and drink coffee while reading a book. I can't stand IKEA furniture.

If my tot was tall enough I would go to IKEA every morning! Sit in the grass! Bring the dog! Watch people load their cars. Love the drive near the airport. It makes me feel like I'm leaving town!

oh yes,how we do love IKEA! My older child is old enough to go into the ballroom/ playrea (ours is not in the league of your Smaland, I think I need to complain!) but won't go alone and my toddler who would love nothing more than be dropped off is a few inches short of the height requirement. Needless to say we love IKEA. I give the boys pencils and tape measures and they run through the displays, climbing into beds, sitting on chairs and most recently, shutting themselves into a kitchen cupboard. Oh yes, they do draw on stuff but I try to keep it to a minimum. Our best ever use of IKEA was during a heatwave. We knew our paltry ac's were not going to cut it in the face of 105 degree NYC heat. We bundled all 4 of us into the car, drove to IKEA getting there for breakfast and spending the entire day between the cafeteria, nursing room (another reason why I LOVE IKEA) storage, bedding and the kids section. We got home to Brooklyn as the heat of the day subsided, cool and peachy.
On an entirely other note - Crabmommy I am so glad you mentioned the 18th baby freaks! Something about that bunch unnerves me and leaves me with all sorts of unanswered questions ie "how does she even hold them inside any more beyond 22 weeks?" or "how can she be about my age and already have birthed a kindergarten class worth of kids and still look remarkably young?". Lawd.

We didn't get an IKEA here until my kids were too old for "Small Land," but still a great idea. :) Sounds like a fun, adventurous day.

We just got IKEA in our area (1/2 hr drive towards Cincy) and am looking forward to the day I will be able to drop kiddo's off in the area. :-)

My girl is too small for Smaland yet, but she does LOVE playing in the lockers. Hmmm...
Another good Ikea trick is lining a shopping cart with pillows and letting the small one nap while you shop. She loves it and so do the other shoppers when they see us. Of course I don't buy the pillows, just make use of them at the time. :D

I love ikea, because I love cheap crap! lol. Much like my love for target. Anyhoo, I still have to stare longingly at the childcare center in ours, as my eldest(3)refuses to be potty trained(*groan*) and my younger one(21mo) is WAY too small! Dealing with them both in ikea is fun, too. My daughter(the eldest) never gets in ANYONE'S way, tries to run in the opposite direction or creates any kind of scene. Then those people come who hand me wads of cash and fine french pastries..wait, sorry I must have nodded off there sometime after the whole ikea being fun with two wee ones part.

Not crazy about Ikea furniture but lord do they have them some tasty cheap grub. I believe I'm going to go microwave up a half-dozen Swedish meatballs right now (bought them in February and they're still going ...)

Portland, Seattle, and Salt Lake City. I plan vacations around an hour or two in Ikea. Strangely, I never buy anything.

As for the Duggars, to each his/her own. I only have 3 children, but if the Duggars want many more, and can raise them properly (as they seem to have done quiet well), I say God bless them.

Publisher's description
EOS 60D/60Da Firmware Version 1.1.1 [Windows]
Firmware Version 1.1.1 incorporates the following fixes.
1. Fixes a phenomenon where the camera's serial number that is displayed in the shooting information of the image does not display the correct serial number. *1)
2. Corrects errors in the Greek, Italian, and Portuguese menu screens.
*1) If the camera's serial number is 2147483648 or higher and the camera firmware is Version 1.1.0 or earlier, the images captured with the camera will be affected by the phenomenon listed in 1. above.
This phenomenon only affects the EOS 60D, and does not affect the EOS 60Da. Both of these cameras are equipped with the same firmware.
To obtain the serial number correctly in the shooting information of images that are already captured using the old firmware, we are preparing updates for Digital Photo Professional and ZoomBrowser EX / ImageBrowser applications.
Once the software updates are ready, we will make an announcement on our Web site.
Firmware Version 1.1.1 is for cameras with Firmware Version 1.1.0. If the camera's firmware is already Version 1.1.1, it is not necessary to update the firmware.
Q&A Section:
Preparations for the Firmware Update:
After the downloaded compressed file (.zip) is extracted, a firmware folder is created.
*Extracting the downloaded file: Right-click the zip file, and then select Extract All to extract the file. The extracted folder contains the firmware (file name: 60D00111.FIR / file size: 11,601,212 bytes) and instructions on the firmware update procedures (a PDF file in five languages: Japanese, English, French, Spanish, and Simplified Chinese).
Before starting the firmware update operations, please confirm the contents of the download and carefully read through the firmware update procedures.
Q: Are the previous versions of firmware included in version 1.1.1?
A: Yes, the following improvements from the previous versions are included:.
Changes in Version 1.1.0:
1. Fixes a phenomenon where the wireless built-in flash settings are reset to defaults when the battery is removed from the camera.
2. Fixes an intermittent phenomenon where image-rotation information is not recognized correctly when shooting with the camera in the vertical position depending on the timing of the shutter release.
Changes in Version 1.0.9:
1. Changes the name of the feature called "Art Filters" to "Creative Filters" (which is used in markets other than Japan) in the Japanese version to make the terms consistent. (This change only applies to the Japanese version and does not apply to other language versions.)
2. Fixes a phenomenon where the camera may operate abnormally when it is set to Quick Mode AF during Live View shooting immediately after capturing an image with the C.Fn II-1 Long exposure noise reduction setting set to [2: On] and a shutter speed setting of 5 seconds or more.
3. Fixes a phenomenon where the camera may operate abnormally when after Live View shooting, the remote switch on the EOS Utility screen is pressed to immediately start movie-shooting. This phenomenon only occurs when the camera is connected to a compatible personal computer and the Remote Live View function of EOS Utility software is being used.
Changes in Version 1.0.8:
1. Fixes a phenomenon where captured images may become overexposed when using the camera's built-in flash or an external Speedlite in combination with the lenses listed below.
a) EF300/4 L IS USM
b) EF28-135/3.5-5.6 IS USM
c) EF75-300/4-5.6 IS USM
d) EF100-400/4.5-5.6 L IS USM

it could be very useful because 2x2 is to small and 3x3 is just way to big (but having 4x4 for separate screen would be also great) :/

A little boy is standing outside, a remote control in his hands. What appears to be dental floss is tied to a loose baby tooth on one end and a toy rocket on the other. Under the direction of his dad, and in a matter of seconds, the boy pushes a button, winces, looks skyward and then smiles broadly into the camera to reveal a bloody gap.
This is what can be found by today's parents searching the Web for information on the age-old dilemma of what to do about a very loose baby tooth.
And if hits on YouTube tell you anything, the rocket method could overtake the old string-tied-to-a-doorknob trick: Jimmy's tooth launch has been viewed more than 1.7 million times. Other methods showcased in online videos: bow-and-arrow, string tied to dog's collar and, yes, doorknob.
"Don't follow their instructions," says Gisela M. Velasquez, an assistant professor of pediatric dentistry at the University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston School of Dentistry. "You don't want to traumatize your kid."
From generation to generation, parents handle child-rearing challenges in ever-evolving ways. One constant is that, beginning around age 5 or 6, baby teeth will fall out and permanent teeth will grow in. And most of the time, parents needn't get involved.
"Some parents just get very involved because they're very involved parents, and some have a more laissez-faire attitude," San Antonio pediatric dentist Paul Wiegand says. "Usually normal eating and normal activity will get it out."
If a tooth is ready to come out, wiggling it 20 to 30 times a day should do the job, Wiegand says. Biting on firm foods such as apples can help, too.
"The string attached to the door is a horrific way to approach things," he says. "It tends to scare kids and is just way overkill."
There are, nonetheless, situations where Mother Nature may need some assistance, such as when a permanent tooth erupts behind or beside a baby tooth.
"Then it's time to make sure it gets evaluated" by a dentist, Wiegand says. "Over-retained baby teeth can cause permanent teeth to go off course."
Whether a child, parent or dentist pulls a loose baby tooth, it's normal to see some blood. Clamping down on gauze should stop the bleeding in three to four minutes.
Six-year-old Blake Johnson, a kindergartner at San Antonio Academy, had a loose top front tooth for about a month.
"It was very loose, but I was afraid to pull it," says his mom, Heather Johnson. "I wasn't sure it was completely ready to come out."
She recently took Blake for his six-month checkup at Dr. Wiegand's office. A hygienist applied numbing gel and pulled out the tooth with a piece of gauze before Blake even realized what happened.
"When he shook the tooth fairy box, the tooth miraculously appeared," assistant Veronika Withers says of the little trick they played.
A baby tooth will become loose as the root dissolves to make room for the permanent tooth. Sometimes only a little fiber in the gums is all that's holding a very loose tooth in place.
In that case, the method of choice of Dallas general dentist Eric Hibbs is to use dental floss to "lasso" the tooth, tying a knot around it and then giving a swift yank.
If you're curious to see what he means, just go to YouTube.
Hibbs is among the parents who demonstrate baby-tooth pulling via video.
"I thought it was cute, and there's a lot of interest in it," Hibbs says, noting the 30,000-plus hits. "All parents come to that stage in life where the child has a loose baby tooth, and they're wondering what to do about it. So many people are going online now to find information."
His video shows his daughter, then about age 11, tying a loop of floss around a top back tooth.
"One, two, three, pop it. Hard," he encourages.
"I'm scared," she whimpers.
Fade out.
And we're back - with Hibbs' daughter dangling the string and tooth away from her face, with a bloody smile.
Then Hibbs appears and says into the camera:
"Dental surgery in the 21st century."

*The HERS® Index is a scoring system established by the Residential Energy Services Network (RESNET®) in which a home built to the specifications of the HERS Reference Home (based on the 2006 International Energy Conservation Code) scores a HERS index of 100, while a net-zero energy home scores a HERS Index of zero. The lower the home's HERS Index, the more energy efficient it is in comparison to the HERS Reference Home. The 20-year old home, 10-year old home, typical 2009 IECC code-built home and K. Hovnanian® High Performance Home HERS Index ratings have been derived using an average of locally-built, active K. Hovnanian® Homes® using local climate data. The HERS Index for the typical similar 2006 code built home is the benchmark for the HERS scale. The HERS Index of the Energy Star home is based on the compliance requirement of EPA Energy Star New Homes Version 2.0 for the local climate zone defined as being at or below a HERS Index of 85.

What is the minimum GPA I require to apply to UBC Law? What about LSAT?There is no specific minimum LSAT score or GPA that is required to apply. The higher the score, however, the more competitive your application will be. Last year, successful applicants in the Regular Category had an average CGPA of 82% (approximately 3.8 on a 4.3 scale) with a LSAT score of 164. However, because we weigh the GPA and LSAT evenly there is a range including an LSAT score of 165 and a CGPA of 78% and an LSAT score of 155, but with a CGPA of 86%. The lowest competitive GPA would be 68% together with an LSAT in the 99 th percentile. Please note this applies to the Regular Category only.
Well I was going to attempt to get references, but if they do not require or even consider them, I may focus less on that aspect.Thank you.
A personal statement is basically a "why I should be accepted into law school" essay?
