Steven Brill: I got the idea for this article when I was visiting Rice University last year. As I was leaving the campus, which is just outside the central business district of Houston, I noticed a group of glass skyscrapers about a mile away lighting up the evening sky. The scene looked like Dubai. I was looking at the Texas Medical Center, a nearly 1,300-acre, 280-building complex of hospitals and related medical facilities, of which MD Anderson is the lead brand name. Medicine had obviously become a huge business. In fact, of Houston's top 10 employers, five are hospitals, including MD Anderson with 19,000 employees; three, led by ExxonMobil with 14,000 employees, are energy companies. How did that happen, I wondered. Where's all that money coming from? And where is it going? I have spent the past seven months trying to find out by analyzing a variety of bills from hospitals like MD Anderson, doctors, drug companies and every other player in the American health care ecosystem.

Maybe collectively we can come up with the ultimate FCB setup. 10 Buttons and 2 Pedals. I don't think this is possible as SL exists now, but it would be great eventually.
This would be cool, sort of a combination of the EDP and the RC50.
Button 1. Record/Play
Button 2. Overdub Selected Loop
Button 3. Stop/Play
Button 4. Loop 2 Select, Options: Auto record if empty, play if filled. With an option for Round of course.
Button 5. Loop 3 Select, Same.
Options for Multi Loop (3 at a time) or Single mode 1 at a time.
This would mimic the best part of the RC50.
Button 6. Clear selected Loop with short press, clear all with Long Press.
Button 7. Multiply
Button 8. Reverse/Half Time etc.
Button 9. Undo/Redo
Button 10. Sync On/Off.

It keeps working for a month after the initial application process, and remains waterproof even if your cat is bathed. Kittens be administered Frontline Top Spot for Cats from 2 months of age. Do not reapply FRONTLINE for 30 days.
FRONTLINE Top Spot provides convenient and effective spot-on flea and tick protection for your cat. In addition to killing adult fleas on your cat within 24 hours, it also rapidly eliminates all stages of 4 major ticks (brown dog ticks, American dog ticks, lone star ticks, and deer ticks) including ticks that may carry Lyme disease and Rocky Mountain spotted fever.

Ingredients Fipronil 9.7%, Inert Ingredients 90.3%

All about fleas and prevention.
Helpful information on Ticks and your pets.
Use FRONTLINE TOP SPOT for fast-acting, long-lasting flea and tick control. When you apply FRONTLINE, fipronil, the active ingredient, is stored in the oil glands under your pet's skin. It's then distributed continuously to the skin and hair of your pet through the hair follicles. This way, FRONTLINE provides waterproof, month-long protection against future pests while breaking down the flea and tick life cycles.
Applying FRONTLINE TOP SPOT to your pet is an easy three-step process. First, remove the Frontline Top Spot applicator from the child-resistant package and cut or lift off the plastic tab to expose the foil and then peel the foil down. Next, hold the applicator upright and away from your face and body and snap off the tip. Finally, place the Frontline Top Spot applicator tip on the skin between your pet's shoulder blades and squeeze the applicator to apply the entire contents in a single spot onto your pet's skin.
To prevent harm to you and your pet, read the entire label and enclosed directions before each use. Follow all directions and precautionary statements carefully.
To prevent harm to you and your pet, read the entire label and enclosed directions before each use. Follow all directions and precautionary statements carefully. Always point the applicator away from your face, especially your eyes, and wash your hands thoroughly after application. USE ON CATS ONLY. Do not use on rabbits or other animals.
I have been using this product for years and love it! We found the cutest stray kitten last winter full of fleas. We put Frontline on at 10:30 at nite and in the morning she came out of the kennel without an itch and the bottom of the carrier full of dead fleas! We combed out the rest and have never had a problem. We have 2 dogs and now 5 cats and use Frontline for all. We live on the outskirts of town with plenty of opportunities for our furry family members to bring in intruders. They all go out to hunt or laze in the yard and Frontline gives us peace of mind.
I have two cats, one short haired kitten and one long haired adult. Within a day of applying Frontline Top Spot, they both were shed of their flea infestations, and have been flea-free since.
With 10 cats in the house it is important that we find the best price and product to keep our house flea and tick free. Frontline does not burn their skin or leave those nasty oil spots for days like other flea products. That's why we keep coming back to Entirely Pets for our monthly Frontline.
Checked many sites and local vets and this ws the best price of all plus no shipping.
I rescue abused and homeless cats and use a lot of flea medications. I like Frontline products because they really work.
Fipronil is a manufactured insecticide that works on a cellular level on adult fleas and ticks. It seeps into an insect's cells and blocks chlorine molecules from passing through. This stops the nervous system from working and paralyzes the insect.Fipronil kills adult fleas and ticks on contact or when consumed, and it can be spread from one insect to another.
Because fipronil is so strong, it only needs to be applied once a month to continuously kill fleas and ticks. Once it is applied with an oily liquid to keep it on the skin of your dog, it slowly seeps into the hair follicles and oil glands where the fleas and ticks live.
To kill adult fleas and ticks.
Some animals are sensitive or allergic to the ingredients in FRONTLINE, so be sure to watch for any signs of allergic reaction. If your pet shows signs of itching, restlessness, nausea, lethargy, or breathing difficulty, seek veterinary attention immediately.

Students from Calera schools gathered in Durant to do their part by recycling and support the Durant Police Department and Durant Fire and Rescue.
As the Red versus Blue Trash off began Friday morning, both departments tried to sway the children to donate recycled goods to their department.
The two departments are now in a nine week competition to see who can collect the most recycled goods.
Two drop-off locations will have bins marked blue for police and red for fire. Those donating can drop off their recyclables into the bin of the team they want to win.
Bins are located at the old Goody's Store parking lot on the east side of the building and at 1415 W. Main St. The contest will end on May 10.
The winner will be announced May 31 at the annual Magnolia Festival in Durant. The losing team will have to participate in a dunk tank at the festival.
The event is in collaboration with the Choctaw Recycling Center. Choctaw Recycling Center's Tracy Horst said that she had gotten the idea from a town in North Carolina.
She then got together with the city of Durant to see if this would be possible. This event also coincides with the annual Great American Clean Up.
Keep America Beautiful's Great American Clean Up is an annual national community improvement program.
The program began March 1 and lasts until May 31. Horst said that the hope for this competition is to get 100,000 pounds of material and develop a habit of recycling in the community.
During the kick-off Friday, children heard from Choctaw Chief Gregory Pyle, Durant Mayor Jerry Tomlinson, Fire Chief Roger Jones and Police Chief Durward Cook.
After speeches and friendly banter from both department chiefs, the children were invited to unload all of the recyclables they had brought and enjoy hot dogs.
Chief Jones said that the hope of the event is not only to collect material for the event but to educate everyone on recycling.
This sentiment was shared by Durant PD Captain Mike Woodruff who said he hopes it reminds people even after the competition to be conscious of their recycling habits.
Though the two departments have been swapping insults with each other, they all say that they have a good working relationship.
"We have an extremely good relationship." said Jones, "We may play pranks but it's all in good fun."
Woodruff said he feels as though if the departments did not have such a strong relationship they could not have fun with a competition such as this one.
He said he has visited many other cities and feels that the relationship between the departments here is one that does not exist in other towns.
Despite the brief friendly remarks both side insist they are the better department and will win this competition. They said they want to remind citizens to get out and donate material to their bins.
By the end of Friday's kickoff event, the Durant Fire Department was in the lead with 494 pounds of material to the Police Department's 405 pounds.

Primitive Christianity Revived, Again
I stopped going to Meeting, months ago...
I lost an Employment Tribunal case...I sat and heard people in positions of authority purjuring themselves, bearing false witness and fabricating and concealing evidence. I suppose I was naive to believe that people under oath would tell the truth! It was/is no consolation at all that I was speaking truth to power, since a panel decided my case against me, because it was technically 'out of time'. It was such a bitter experience that a bully was left to carry on bullying his subordinates. I wasn't pursuing money, only the truth, and to stop him bullying any one else.
At about this time I encountered such a strong sense of an absence of God.
I stood up in meeting and ministered...out of a sense of exhaustion.Not the most coherent Ministry on my part, about violence in the world. I should have shut up... I heard other people Ministering in similar vein...and then bursting out, a woman in the Meeting leapt up and said that this Ministry was 'like throwing rocks at the Meeting'. It was the least Quakerly Ministry I have ever heard, in thirty years. There was an awful silence.
Some Quakers would rather the Meeting was always silent, especially when the silence is not gathered. They see it as restful! I would rather hear fumblings after the truth than the stifled silence of a Meeting that is not gathered, when cough -drop papers rustle and people shift in their seats, just waiting for release.
So I stopped going to Meeting, and haven't been back since.
I seem to have mislaid my own Quakerly feelings. It feels like a light has gone out, and yet the urge to do anything about it has stalled.
Am I still a Quaker?
Just an observation. Just because 'a light has gone out' does not mean Light no longer exists. I spent a long time without any faith of any kind because of anger and expecting humans to be perfect. Eventually, events and life moved me past that and I am glad it did. Give yourself time to heal and value yourself that you deserve to. I know some Quakers do want to define exactly who is and who isn't a Quaker. Personally, I'm not sure that is very important. Do you feel you're still a Quaker??
When you sit in prayer with this, what do you think God is telling you? Is there anyone you trust to hold this with you?
with tenderness,
Mary Linda
Have you read Sandra Cronk's book Dark Night Journey? I've found it of help when I was dry and bitter and disappointed.
Sometimes I fret about whether or not I am a Quaker, and sometimes I decide just to get on with following God as best I can figure it out and never mind the labels. (Not that I don't grouse a lot at God...)
MY computer is acting up. I just wanted to share an experience. Upon reading about Jesus' s law of love I thought the purpose of forgiveness and truth was about affecting change in those around us....and to some extent I think it is. But I recently learner that it is also about maintaining a clean and joyous heart. When I feel rejected or betrayed my whole being is swallowed up with anger mistrust and bitterness. It is very difficult I know. But when I realize that all I have is a gift that I am a steward of and I am no more deserving of it than anyone else...when I remember that I to have wronged others and know one is perfect but our Lord...I remember that is where my ultimate trust and dependence must lay. People and things will invariably let you down.
My heart's cry is this. The injustice of your tribunal and rejection you feel are surely very painful. There is nothing wrong with taking time to mourn. But God is right there with you. Perhaps the roar of your own heart makes it difficult to hear? Can you forgive? (Sometimes it helps me to read about the experiences of others. It puts my situation in a more objective light. Ever read about Corie Ten Boom?)
May you find sweet peace and divine direction.
I think it's hard for some people to face up to the reality of the cross, in every church or meeting. You have encountered the reality of the cross - the world does not love truth, there are many people who do not love God or rightness, who will not show mercy where God would wish they would. If we make a decent attempt at following Jesus we might well get punished for it by the worlds' powers. A fellowship of believers can be a great comfort, and a fellowship of folks who shun the cross can be an added burden for a struggling christian! I just wanted to reach out to you in love. The world is often very hard on those who do right. I have found a loving power who stands with me in my suffering, who mourns with me and who keeps uncovering hope for me. Hoping you can find your way again to the springs of life.
Spiritual dry times happens to all of us. It's easy for us to get discouraged.....we don't have some of the "trappings" other faith traditions have to 'get lost" in...or "focus on" when our own sense of Spirit is diminished. We don't light candles...we could.....but don't....we could light incense....we could...but don't....we could say a prayer of wine and bread.....we could...but don't.....OUR witness is that while these things CAN and ARE to many vehicles of the Light....our "way" is not found in the "outward forms".....so sometimes...we get tired.....sometimes we get lonely...especiallin Meeting at times.
I went on a "cross coutry" trip with a Friend friend of mine....I was telling him about my own spiritual dryness and how it seemed my prayers went no higher than the ceiling...and I could not sense the Light as I sought to "enter into the Presence" in Meeting.....he listened as I bemoaned my spiritual state....very quietly he recited..."He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty." Ps 91:1.
He went on to say that sometimes in our Jouney...we move into the "Shadow of God"...and lose sight of Him....not because He is so far away...but because He is so very Near we are ecliped in His Shadow.
I Remember these days of my "dry times".....I am in His Shadow.....a good place to be.
It doesn't matter if you are still a Quaker. What matters is that you lost your peace. Get it back. That's the important thing. Otherwise you will be tossed about.

KRBC AM Forecast: Friday, May 25, 2012
By: Natalie Ferrari
Updated: May 25, 2012
We have a great Memorial Day weekend in store for you with highs remaining in the low 90's and partly cloudy skies. We could be welcoming the chance of some rain for late Monday and into early Tuesday morning as a cold front approaches from the NW.
In the long term, a second cold front by Thursday could give us a significant drop in temperatures...to the mid 80's! Back to where we should be for this time of year.


text:
Heat advisories have been issues to fifteen southern states, and as of now Texas is getting hit the worst. Recently, Dallas has had 34 straight days with temperatures above 100, record setting, and showing that this is by far the hottest summer ever.
The heat wave is having its consequences for the crops and the people. In Kansas City, Missouri they held their "Warrior Dash" course, and one of the runners collapsed and died at the end of the race.
Not only is it very hot, but dry as well. This has been the third hottest July and crops are feeling the heat and lack of water.
All over, electricity companies are urging people to stop using electricity as much as they can. The thermostat should be set to 80 Degrees, and you should stop using dishwashers and dryers for a couple of months.
In Arkansas, they reported a 114 degree day; the hottest day in Little Rock ever. Three high school fool ball players also passed away due to the heat. These numbers hit hard, and the overuse of energy is hitting our wallets.
It will be very important to stay hydrated this summer; drink around 60 fluid ounces a day, and if you feel dizzy sit down. Also, try to have salts before you start drinking water, otherwise the water will sweat right out of your pores and you will become exhausted.

So what else can you do with the Citrus-Ginger Honey from Monday's post? Funny you should ask...........
Along with drizzling it on the Seeded Oat Bread, I could probably think of at least twenty more ways to use this magical elixir, but you'll have to settle for just two more.......... this post and tomorrow's Vanilla Bean Cheesecake with Citrus-Ginger Honey Glazed Strawberries. Most likely, I'll be all excited next week about some new recipes or some awesome fresh ingredients that have just come into season and poor old Citrus-Ginger Honey will have taken a back seat. Sorry C-GH, but that's just how this blogging world works - this is your week to shine!
Sticky Citrus-Ginger Honey Ribs ........... the name pretty much says it all, and if anything's missing, the pictures tell the rest of the story. The only thing I'll say is...... MAKE THESE ASAP! They're fall-off-the-bone, melt-in-your-mouth, sweet-spicy, crazy deeeeeeeeeeeeeee-licious!!
P.S. Oh, one important thing - they're not difficult to make in any sense, but you do have to plan ahead - as the ribs need to nestle up overnight with the flavorful rub - this helps impart the wonderful layers of deliciousness!
Sticky Citrus-Ginger Honey Ribs
5-6 pounds country-style ribs*
Ingredients for the rub:
½ cup dark brown sugar
1 teaspoons sea salt
1 tablespoon dry mustard
1 tablespoon crushed coriander seed
2 teaspoons sweet smoked paprika
Ingredient for the sticky sauce:
2 tablespoons canola oil
1 teaspoon seame oil
3 cloves garlic
½ cup low sodium soy sauce**
½ cup hoisin sauce***
½ cup Citrus-Ginger Honey
1 teaspoon Sriracha
½ cup fresh squeezed orange juice, from 1 large or two small oranges
Ingredients for garnish:
orange zest, from 1 orange
lemon zest, from 1 lemon
thinly sliced green onions, 1-2 medium onions
1 tablespoon sesame seeds
Directions for the rub:
1. Combine the dark brown sugar, sea salt, mustard, crushed coriander and paprika. Line two sheet pans with foil and divide the ribs between the two. Don't be tempted to put them all on one sheet. since they will give off a fair amount of liquid and you don't want a big mess in your oven! Trim any large areas of the fat off of the ribs, then sprinkle them with the brown sugar mix and massage the rub into the meat on both sides. Cover each pan tightly with foil and refrigerate overnight.
Directions for the ribs:
1. The next day, remove ribs from the refrigerator and drain off any liquid that has accumulated. Preheat the oven to 250° F. Cover the ribs again with the foil, making sure they are tightly sealed. Roast for about 3 hours until ribs are very tender. Allow to cool for 20 minutes, then place ribs on a clean baking sheet that has been lined with foil. Discard liquid from the roasting process.
2. At this point you can allow the ribs to cool, wrap well and refrigerate until ready to serve. Just before serving, brush ribs generously with sticky sauce and place under broiler for 3-5 minutes until bubbly and starting to brown in spots. Flip the ribs over and repeat on the opposite side. Serve over rice or with mashed potatoes, garnish with sesame seeds, thinly sliced scallions and lemon and orange zest. Pass extra sauce at the table.
Directions for the sticky sauce:
1. Heat canola and sesame oils in a medium-large sauce pan. Add garlic and and sauté for 30 seconds or just until fragrant. Add the remaining ingredients and bring sauce to a simmer; to maintain a medium simmer for about 10 minutes or until sauce is starting to get syrupy. Sauce will thicken more as it cools.
* You can make these with bone-in or boneless country-style ribs. At my local markets these are on sale for a great price quite frequently. I stock up and stick them in the freezer, then when I'm ready to make a yummy dish like this, I don't have to pay an arm and a leg! I like the country-style ribs as they are so meaty, but you could also use baby back ribs.
Don't have a heart attack when you see how much meat this recipe calls for to feed 6 persons. The meat will shrink up quite a bit during the long, slow roasting time. Don't be fooled and not have enough meat - your family and friends might just burst into tears if they don't get their fill of these amazing ribs! If you're using the boneless ribs 5 pounds is probably plenty.
** Be sure to use the low sodium soy sauce because the sauce simmers and reduces. It will become quite salty if you use regular soy sauce. You can always add more salt, to taste.
*** Hoisin sauce, oyster sauce (no, it doesn't taste anything like oysters - it's a thick, slightly sweet, caramel colored sauce that lends wonderful flavor to many dishes) and Mirin are all readily available in the Asian section of most grocery stores. You can also get them for very cheap at Asian markets.
Serves 4-6

Starting a story with a misquotation is likely a serious faux pas, but alas, I did it. Get over it.
We were called to Jim's house by a 3rd party. Actually a fourth party. Jim had missed a lot of work so his boss called his next of kin–and estranged daughter–she called a neighbor and between the neighbor and his boss, made the decision to call the ambulance.
I was greeted on the rickety steps by a confused looking gentleman I learned to be Jim's boss. As I walk past him he tells me Jim had fallen and was on the ground all night. Jim says he's not hurt. He says he is fine. Every word he speaks is enunciated in booze. The fruity smell of cheap vodka and cheaper beer permeate through his pores. Even the feces he has all over himself smell of sweet, cheap alcohol.
But Jim is adamant that he isn't hurt. He knows where he is, he knows what day it is, but he just can't admit that he is hurt. He just can't admit that he needs help.
See months earlier Jim lost his mother and sister in a week or two. Jim, already an alcoholic took these double crosses and stumbled back to the ropes. He bowed out and lost control. Now the alcohol has control.
See, Jim isn't fine. You can see the cellulitis has eaten at his legs. He's not eating. Not bathing. Not doing anything other than getting delivered in cheap booze. Intentional or not, he's killing himself. He's of sound, if not sane, mind. He by law, can make decisions for himself. People are allowed to let themselves die here.
But after I've spent a considerable amount of time trying to get Jim to go to the hospital today, with me in the ambulance, his family arrives. His estranged daughter, her husband, and the granddaughter he hasn't seen in a year. I try to "prep" them for what they are going to see. This isn't going to be the "dad" you're use to. But she walks right by.
And the crying, and the begging, and fighting begin. PD tells me they have no grounds to hold him. No threat to self or others. See, Jim insists he's in contact with his lawyer, who is going to take him to the doctor on monday. The problem is, he can't tell me his lawyers name. If you ask Jim how much he's been drinking he changes the subject. If you ask Jim to stand(knowing he can't) he changes the subject again.
Jim wants to stay home and drink another day. I think he knows that if he manages to stay home and drink enough days his body will finally give in to his mind and end this all.
But just because someone thinks they want to die a miserable death doesn't mean we SHOULD stand idly by. I had walked out, as the city around me is imploding with 911 calls and transfers, I'd given up. Nothing was working. I waked out, got my signatures and was getting into the truck when the daughter came up to me.
"Please help me". I don't want him to die here. I don't want him to die alone". I try to explain how little there is I can do. I'll be honest, I don't expend a great deal of energy trying to get people to go to the hospital. If people say they don't want or need me, I send them on their way.
But not this time. I'd already spent 50 minutes on scene, a few more won't hurt. I walked back inside, daughter trailing behind me. We walk past an unopened box of "Omaha Steaks" with a postmark before Christmas. What kind of man leaves a box of meat–tasty meat–on their front stoop?
Inside the front door Jim's son-in-law and granddaughter are sitting there. Granddaughter is crying. I walked up to Jim and said flatly…. "if you can stand, I will leave you alone forever". So he tries to stand up. And flails and fails miserably. Sad, but in a way, what everyone needed to see.
I kneeled down to his now low level. Firmly, but compassionately I said…
"Jim, look. Look around this room. These are all people that care about you. Your daughter. Your granddaughter. Your boss. Your neighbor. Even me and my partner. If we didn't care, the easy way out presented itself 100 times or more. But we didn't take it. I stuck around. WE all stuck around. Because I'm scared that we're going to come back tomorrow morning and pick you up in a different way. In a black bag and instead of going to the emergency room we'l have to go to the morgue. I'm terrified that I'll have to look at this little girl over here and tell her that her grandpa is dead because we couldn't convince him to go to the hospital to take care of some moderate medical problems. I'm scared that I won't be able to sleep if I don't do right by you. You have a chance to go out with some pride. Go out on your own, not be drug out of area against your will or in a body bag. Do this for your pride, if nothing else. Your pride is going to kill you"
and all he said to me:
"Well I don't wanna hurt your beauty sleep. You need all you can get. Lets go"
And so we went. Quietly and calmly. At first he was defeated, but then the relief swept over him and the fear faded away.
In my longest scene time ever(1 hour, 48 minutes) I actually did something. More than I do on every major trauma or code or stroke I go on.
When the powers that be wanted to talk to me about the scene time delays I told them to read the narrative. I wasn't going to justify it any other way. I wasn't going to say sorry. I got a sick person to go to the hospital.
THAT is my job.
Damn it, Jim.

He/she will need to do a physical and neurological exam and possibly blood work to assess your cat's health. The veterinarian will place an IV catheter and start fluids along with other treatments. If your veterinarian suspects that your cat has ingested a toxin, he/she might give your cat medicine to make it vomit, or he/she may perform a gastric lavage (stomach pumping) If the cat has a skin reaction to the toxin, washing him/her in a luke warm bath with dish soap will help remove the toxins from the skin. Unfortunately, there are no "antidotes" in veterinary medicine for treating toxicity in cats, and therefore other treatments have to be used.

Apple wins $625m patents appeal

Apple wins $625m patents appeal
Cover Flow displays album artwork for users to flick through
A judge has thrown out a ruling that would have forced Apple to pay $625m (£383m) for alleged patent infringements.
A jury decided last year that Apple's Spotlight, Time Machine and Cover Flow systems violated three patents held by small technology firm Mirror Worlds.
However, Judge Leonard Davis overturned the verdict saying that the claimant had failed to properly make their case.
The original fine was one of the biggest ever for patent infringement.
Mirror Worlds, owned by Yale University computer-science Professor David Gelernter, sued Apple in 2008.
The dispute centred on how documents are displayed on-screen - particularly the 'card-flipping' technique utilised when a user scrolls through music in their iTunes library.
In October 2010, a federal jury in Tyler, Texas awarded Mirror Worlds $208.5m in damages for each of the three alleged infringements.
Apple appealed, challenging the validity of the smaller firm's patents and arguing that they were not infringed.
Reviewing the case, Judge Davis upheld Mirror Worlds' patents, but decided that that the company had not provided enough evidence to support its complaint.
"Mirror Worlds may have painted an appealing picture for the jury," he said.
"But it failed to lay a solid foundation sufficient to support important elements it was required to establish under the law."
Neither Apple nor Mirror Worlds have commented on the new ruling.

Families fear Sandy killed cottages, traditions
A Tuesday Dec. 4, 2012 photo shows the Bratek family cottage, which was damaged by Superstorm Sandy, in Brigantine, N.J. Families that inherited small homes on the New Jersey shore over the years are trying to decide whether it is possible to repair or rebuild after Superstorm Sandy. (AP Photo/Katie Zezima) |
The small yellow cottage has always been more than a house to Bob Bratek and his family. It was their tiny slice of oceanfront heaven, a repository of family memories built in the '60s with the hands of three generations of Brateks and any materials they could find.
"It was made of pieces and hearts and souls and emotions and memories," Bratek said, remembering how he would ride there as a teenager in the family station wagon, its freight of free siding and donated wood causing the back to practically scrape the highway.
Superstorm Sandy battered the Brateks' home and other seaside bungalows and cottages passed down through families that scrimped and saved to buy small getaways on the Jersey Shore. Now many families that see themselves as stewards of an heirloom are grappling with whether it is affordable, or even possible, to rebuild.

Great legal pad
By Robin
from Los Gatos CA
As a lawyer, when I go to court, I don't want my legal pad to be floppy with a weak cardboard backing. This legal pad is the firmest available, and in court you can readily stand up, hold it, and take notes on it. Weaker pads have to be laid on the table or some other hard surface to be used.

YogaBabe on Red Onions
Posted By: Daphne's
Categories: benefits of red onion, California Greek Culture, cooking blog, Daphne's California Greek, EAT WELL, Jessica Mulvey, red onion health benefits, red_onion, yoga classes, yoga poses, YogaBabes, YogaBabes
What would so many of our favorite dishes be without the red onion? This versatile vegetable is used in many dishes and sauces because of it's delicious flavor and irresistible crunch, but it also contains some important health benefits. Let us get acquainted with the red onion.
First know that it can be consumed both raw and cooked, but the flavor changes
dramatically once cooked. When selecting a red onion, look for one with a dry,
papery skin that has no blemishes or wet/dark spots. Onions should be stored in
a cool, dry location that is away from potatoes. (Placing onions near potatoes
will cause them to both spoil quickly.) Also, a fun fact about the onion in
general, is that it gave the city of Chicago its name. The Chippewa Indians
found these "she-gau-ga-winshe" growing at the site of the modern day
city... yep sound it out, it sounds like Chi-ca-go!
On a more relevant note, red onions are very good for us because they have been
found to contain anti-fungal, anti-bacterial, and anti-inflammatory
properties. Nutritionally, red onions are low in calories, have no cholesterol,
and contain zero fat! Red onions also provide significant amounts of
vitamin C, vitamin B6, and are a good source of dietary fiber.
Needless to say, don't fear the red onion because it makes you cry when you cut it. Rather add it to your salads, classic pita sandwiches, and flatbreads. It's tasty, crunchy, and really good!

Thogus creates spin-off companies
AVON LAKE — Plastics, product development and biomedical devices have become a formula for rapid growth for Thogus Products Co.
The plastic component maker has won its second Golden 30 business award for an established company.
Thogus was established as Master Mold & Die in 1950. In 1958, the founders changed the name to Thogus Products Co. when they molded their first nylon and polyethylene plastic tube and hose fittings.
Since then, Thogus, 33490 Pin Oak Parkway, Avon Lake, has worked to become the premier rapid prototype and biomedical plastic manufacturer, President Matt Hlavin said.
Thogus has created a spin-off company, rp+m, or rapid prototype + manufacturing, which helps other businesses quickly design and make test products.
Another spinoff is Jalex Medical LLC, which focuses on medical device design, product development and meeting regulations of the Food and Drug Administration.
Thogus has plans to compete at the national and global levels, but northern Ohio is the hot spot for developing new medical devices used in treatment, implants and surgeries, Hlavin said. He cited a number of companies growing that industry across the region.
"If we continue to execute as planned, northeast Ohio will be the biomedical hub of the world," Hlavin said.
"Our emphasis is to grow within our backyard," Hlavin said. "We really are focused on northeast Ohio and growing our business here. That means other companies are growing, so we're contributing to the domestic GDP, or I should say the regional GDP."
This year, Thogus has added high-end engineering software, engineers and product developers. At least 40 percent of the workforce have master's degrees in a number of topics, Hlavin said. Continued...
He emphasized the company maintains a strong relationship with LCCC, GLIDE and its business incubator program. Academic training will help create a workforce that attracts more biomedical researchers and manufacturers, Hlavin said.
Thogus made statewide news in May when the Ohio Tax Credit Authority approved a job creation tax credit for the company to add 30 jobs over the next three years.
Thogus will add $1.6 million in payroll and retain $4.8 million in existing payroll. The company also will add at least 35,000 square feet and more parking to its 76,000-square-foot facility which sits on 35 acres.

(SOURCE: University of Western Australia, news release, July 31, 2012)
THURSDAY, Aug. 2 (HealthDay News) -- Asthma and airway hyper-responsiveness are the most common chronic conditions among Olympic athletes, affecting about 8 percent of the competitors, according to a new study. The Australian researcher suggested the conditions may be linked to the athletes' intense training, particularly those who participate in endurance sports or winter sports. The inhalation of cold air contributes to airway damage. Airway hyper-responsiveness involves marked narrowing of the airways in response to some kind of outside trigger. "Inhaling polluted or cold air is considered an important factor which might explain the cause in some sports, but not in all," explained study author Kenneth Fitch, of the University of Western Australia, in a university news release. "The quality of inhaled air could be harmful to the airways, but does not cause the same effect in all sports." Fitch counted the number of athletes with asthma and airway hyper-responsiveness from the five Olympic games between 2002 and 2010. He identified the athletes by tracking the use of inhaled beta-2 agonists, an anti-asthma drug commonly used by top athletes. In 2001, the International Olympic Committee recognized the increased use of the drug between 1996 and 2000, and issued a new rule requiring athletes to provide proof of their condition to safeguard the health of Olympic athletes, not as an anti-doping measure, according to the news release. Fitch noted that athletes with asthma have routinely beaten their opponents. He added, however, there is no proof that treatments for the condition improved their performance. He suggested that training harder than other athletes could help explain why many athletes develop asthma or airway hyper-responsiveness as adults. The study was published online in the British Journal of Sports Medicine. More information The U.S. National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute provides more information on asthma.

Studying words with the WordNet lexical reference
The WordNet lexical reference maps connections between words. Check out this fascinating tool based on language data from two decades of research.
WordNet is a reference tool that lets you study the connections between words. In the words of its developers, WordNet is "… an online lexical reference system whose design is inspired by current psycholinguistic theories of human lexical memory. English nouns, verbs, adjectives and adverbs are organized into synonym sets, each representing one underlying lexical concept. Different relations link the synonym sets." (http:// wordnet. princeton. edu/). In other words, since all the entries in WordNet are organized into synonym sets (synsets) and they contain definitions and examples, WordNet can be used both as a thesaurus and a conventional dictionary.
However, what makes WordNet a unique reference tool is that every synset is connected to other synsets via a number of relations. This means that for each word in WordNet, you can retrieve not only its synonyms, but also hypernyms, hyponyms, meronyms, and holonyms.

More Americans Quitting Than Being Laid Off, Stats Show
That's the title of an old country chestnut, written by David Allan Coe in 1978, and most famously covered by Johnny Paycheck.
Fast forward 34 years and it's a tune, in increasingly strident fashion, being sung by more and more Americans workers.
More employees are voluntarily leaving their jobs than those who are being asked to leave by their employers, according to new government data. |
Why Americans are feeling the urge to leave a job in this economy seems to be a mystery. The U.S. Labor Department just announced that the number of U.S. workers applying for jobless benefits spiked to its highest levels since January (to 380,000, the agency reports).
And the Bureau of Labor Statistics says that the unemployment rate for March was 8.2% (with many private economists saying the real jobless rate is much higher than that).
So what's up with the "quitters"? In actuality, Americans have been leaving jobs on a regular basis, although it hasn't received much notice in the media.
According to the government's Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey, the "quits rate" (the term the government uses for workers who leave a job on their own) rose to 2.1 million - 300,000 above the 1.8 million the government recorded at the height of the recession in January 2009. The most recent high was 2.9 million American workers leaving their jobs in December 2007, before the economic tsunami hit.
Taken together with the survey's "separations" figure (the term Uncle Sam uses for workers who leave a job either via retirement, "voluntary quits," and involuntary layoffs), 51% of such employment separations came from employees walking away from their jobs. That's up from 49.8% in February, and signals a milestone for the survey - more Americans are quitting their jobs than being laid off.

Vanilla is a product of Lussumo:
Documentation and Support.
I wish people needed comics like they need porn. We'd all be rich.
can you tell me you need your comics more than you need orgasmsNo, but I can tell you which I get more of.
I was at the comic book store today, looked at all the DC titles and thought "Why should I even bother? Shouldn't I just wait for all this relaunch nonsense to get started?"
Because a lot of these relaunches aren't relaunches. The Green Lantern and Batman books aren't breaking continuity step, for example.
Keep in mind that if there really was a problem with an issue because it opened with a kitten-rescuing scene, it would be easier, less controversial and more cost-effective to redraw the scene than to turf the whole issue.
And it's not as if the folks at DC don't know that. Redrawing scenes is not a bizarre or unusual idea.
Turfing an issue over a scene with a kitten, though? It takes a special kind of dopiness for someone who knows much about comics production to buy that explanation -- or try to sell it.
Particularly in the same breath as they try to sell the idea that DC was so embarrassed at the thought of something as corny as Superman saving a kitten that they replaced it ... with a sentimental story about Krypto the Superdog.
I'm not going to discuss why the issue was replaced, but I can tell you that it had nothing to do with any kittens.
I sympathize with Chris Roberson (hey, I've been there), but glad my story finally saw print. I expect his will, too, in time.

MILTON, N.H. -- Police say a 59-year-old Tewksbury man suffered serious injuries Saturday afternoon when his motorcycle collided with a pair of trucks on Route 16 southbound.
State police were called at 12:22 p.m., after a Harley-Davidson motorcycle driven by Robert Babikian, 59, of Tewksbury, crossed the road's center line and went into the path of a northbound GMC truck and Chevy truck. Harry Coffey, 58, of Beverly, Mass., who was driving the GMC, and Teresa Mitchell, 42, of Sanbornville, N.H., who was driving the Chevy, were not hurt.
Babikian was taken to Maine Medical Center, in Portland, with serious injuries. The cause remains under investigation.

You might be right! it's too bad that she is NOT schedule to play in central court.
I would say i'm disappointed, but not really.
Maria hasn't looked comfortable all tournament, i definitely saw this coming.
She's still playing with a clay court mentality in my opinion.
Ahh well, Lisicki played the match of her life, i mean i think she missed 2 first serves that whole second set.
Meh, Vika can have the number 1 ranking; all it ever brings for Maria is losses
Take a day off, then start training for the Gold.
Don't know what else to say really, dont wanna make excuses.
The weather and scheduling is an absolute joke. Maria played her first match on centre, and the rest on court 1. Imagine if Djokovic or Federer were put off centre for more than one match, we'd have uproar.
Definitely not impressed with the tournament overall.
Both RG champs out before the QF. Who would have seen that coming?
You need to chill out buddy. She was bound to lose some time.
As i said before, she looks more comfortable on clay. Give her a few more weeks training and she'll be fine.
REMEMBER who cares about Wimbledon, we want Gold.
It isn't a devastating loss. I'd rather her lose now, rather than in the final. ESPECIALLY IF ITS AGAINST VIKA OR SERENA. No thanks, at least Lisicki isn't a b****
I'm not extremely upset that she lost because of the Olympics. However, i don't see how anyone "Could not care" about her winning Wimbledon. I mean, it's Wimbledon. On to the Olympics!
Today wasn't a great day for Maria and her fans. Unfortunately Sabine was more consistent, especially on her serve, than Maria was. Maria tried to comeback in the first set, she 4-5 40-15 but a few errors and a DF gave Lisick the set. In the second, the early break decided it, Maria improved her serve but it wasn't enough. Lisick served well and Maria didn't find a way to break back. Now is to wait if Victoria will or not to take top spot back, and wait for the Olympics.
Tennis is tough and it's impossible to play your best all the time. She will work hard to improve for the Olympics. GO MARIA!!!
I'm a Maria's fan so she will have my full support, winning or losing I'll be there for her.
I never said i didn't want her to win Wimbledon. I want her to be undefeated.
On the bigger picture though Olympics > Wimbledon.
Maria has 3-4 more Wimbledon's left in her, but only 1 more Olypmics (if she hasn't retired in 4 years) after this one.
I'd rather her have a rest, get back on the practice court, and get back into the grass court mentality.
Kim lost to Ange 6-1 6-1. I find that a bit more upsetting than Maria's loss. Ahhhh well, just one of those days!
This is what happen when you don't have much timre to prepare.........Maria wasn't simply able to play under this condition! Too bad!
Well definitely a bit disappointing, but not the end of the world. Maria looked a little flat all of the first week too and she definitely wasn't at her best today, but all credit to Lisicki, as she had held her nerve at the important end hgames of the sets, even though Maria was pushing back hard. Maria kinda gifted that first set from 40-15, but still Sabine took full advantage and serving out the match she managed to hold. Still very proud of Masha for the whole start of the year and she still fought very hard today and was anything but an easy out and it took a second serve ace to finally beat her. So chin up Masha and get some well deserved rest, then come back stronger and meaner for the Olympiad!!! Crap gonna have to change my signature back though!!!
Also agree with brebis that personnal problems are maybe in play right now too and may have made it hard to concentrate well.
This may seem wierd but if Maria is out of a grand slam i never want a underdog to win. I am not a fan of Serena but i almost want her too win now.
I find the Sasha thing fishy as well but we have to remember that Maria is extremely private
oh my god! maria outed? i can't believe it!

The sad story of a fallen community.
Like (0)
Isnt it pathetic, that you cant play one match in mw3 without akimbo warriors or haxing nubs?
And the legit people that do good, are called hackers?
The hackers took over the game, not a patch can fix this.
Codeleakers geckocodes and other code forums will just post new codes, i think hate this is the time to really call the game hacked to sh*t.
If there is a patch in the making, i say that they can better stop it, since it will only stop the hackers for like a week or 2 days.
The poor balancing of the game only made it easier for people to abuse stuff, so probs to that.
Now about black ops.
This game was so much fun, never experienced a hacker since the start of mw3. Now the cool hacker people ( sarcasm ) are there to, and with much people and annoying copy and paste codes.
In general, both black ops and mw3 are just destroyed, thanks hackers.
This forum, well this place just became boring, its all the same and there is no news here, so why is this forum here when it doesnt get updated by the wii admin? Thats supposed to still live.
This is probally the last time that im saying this on this forum, since this will be my last post.
But thank you for reading, and thank you forummites, i had a good time when it was fun.
Silenshotnl aka [ A i ] SilenT
we'll miss you buddy!
I still remember your birth into the forums! you were such an anoying forum noob but you grew up so quickly...
adieu my friend, see you on the skype chat
This is the start of a rush out the door.

Oh, how the mighty have fallen...
We'll miss you :(
For some reason I actually like MW3. There are plenty of people who run codes and use OP guns, but I still enjoy playing the game. I'm thankful that Treyarch fixed the problems this game had during launch. Let's just be happy that they actually cared somewhat. Infinity Ward would never give us support if they made the Wii version. Look at the PC forums of MW3. Many of the posts are about the problems that the PC version has. There are way more complaints in those forums compared to the Wii forums. So I'm guessing that Treyarch did a pretty good job with the Wii version. Try to look at MW3's positives. Survival Mode and the Campaign are underrated in my opinion. Most people only care about Multiplayer, so they skip these 2 which are very fun.
I've created my own campaign for survival mode, with specific classes and factions for each map.
It's much more fun than buying an ACR and M60E4 and camping out somewhere :P
R.I.P silentshotnl 8/6/11-7/27/12
Gone, but never forgotten.
Silents been around longer then 8/6/11. He's been here longer then I and my first post was in June last year.
Idk. That's just what is saw under his name.
Oh... I'm pretty sure that means when their first post on the MW3 forums was. My first post on the MW3 forums was on September 21st. It still keeps your total number of post from every game.
Wow..im new to these forums thats pretty deep silentshoT, its too bad you have to go. we should play sometime
I'll take your account silent?
Silentshot you were #1 on the forums you were the first one i saw on the forums before i even made an account this year well thanks for everything silentshot see you later

Yeah, it's a sad state of affairs we find ourselves in... I generally take a week off at a time and come back to play with some friends and have a few drinks. It's all fun until some little sh!thead, sex-deprived, hyper-masterbating, hacking c&nt shows up and ruins the experience.
Hackers, good and bad, F*CK YOU ALL IN YOUR EYE SOCKET
Well it was nice very nice meeting and playing with you bro.
I have played with you from the first week of my mw3 gameplay
Well there goes my best mate. Ill still talk to ya on skype but it wont be the samei think.
CoD community has always been scum, I knew it before I even considered about getting any of the games, just simply by looking few forums, maybe few vids and just by getting into argue with few CoD fans told me everything.
It is sad to see how people really are, being immature ass in a videogame already tells something about you in real life, sure everyone likes to piss others off sometimes but hackers do it constantly.
Still, I got to defend Wii's community little bit by making a question, how many people on Xbox and PS3 would be cheating/hacking if it was just as easy as it is on Wii?
They're not any more mature than the people what we've got
Yeah, I totally agree with your post.
All the fun is out of the game...
Hackers in every match.. Wallhacks are not the problem, but people being invisible or flying around, it is just insane!
So I bought myself a ps3 3 weeks ago, they are cheap nowadays ;)
And am doing some Combat Training on it to learn about the ps3 controller, on the Wii I always used the Wiimote ;)
On the Wii my kdr was 3.49 haha and now on the ps3 it is 1.07...but my last 10 matches on the ps3 I already had most of them with a 2 or 3 kdr.
What I am trying to say a switch to the ps3 is possible and I think it is even better than buying a Wii U. More adults are playing on the ps3 than on the Wii, so you meet more serious gamers instead of little kids saying bad words to eachother in the lobby.
I really don't understand why people are still playing cod on the Wii.
Madhouse is right. The wii has some of the best controls out of the 3 consoles in my opinion. Also, if you bought a Ps3 only for cod, then that is just a big waste. Ps3 has many other good games that the wii doesn't have, so why buy CoD when you could get BF3, Uncharted, and God of War? I have a friend who wants to switch from Wii to Ps3 just for MW3. That's really stupid in my opinion since he already has MW3 on the Wii. Xbox and Ps3 have more kids mainly because they are more popular. Wii has some, but most players are mature even if they're teens. I've played zombies before on the Xbox, and I usually run into someone who acts immature. I respect all the consoles, but I think that the Wii gives the best experience. However, Xbox and Ps3 have way better sports games
I never said I only bought it for cod ;)
I use it as a mediacenter on the first place. Besides that I am playing way more different games than I did on the Wii, just because -like you said- the ps3 got a lot more good games to offer!
My point exactly.
I do play Uncharted on ps3 A LOT. from the first one,to the last one. I love that game and its awesome.
But i dont like first person shooters on PS3,not even BF3.
That is why i play my Wii,only cod on wii.
And slowly our Community's Heartbeat slows.... the death of a Nation is iminent... Goodbye Silent.....
Nothing to worry about Wozny the community will resurrect with the release of the WiiU.
Aw Silent, I'll miss some of your posts on here... At least we can still meet up at the ai forums and ingame though!
Yeah it is over i hope the wiiU has good security i jusst want clean games.
I don't post here often anymore because we all know that there is nothing new. This is another major fvck up by activision by not updating, and giving us the patches we desperately need. Great advertising activision. How the fvck you stayed in business this long is anyones guess. I suppose ripping off your customers is the only way you know. But there is always one good thing to come here for, and thats the Corner Campers podcasts.
It was fun while it lasted.
I personally declared MW3 hacked to hell back when the game came out. Took you long enough silent *cries a little*
You'll be missed and always remembered as that DLC scrub...but the DLC scrub we have all known to love. Goodbye silent.....oh wait i have you added on skype....
I'm gonna miss ya buddy. And don't forget the forums might become lively once again when.....IF Lag Ops 2 comes out for the wii (U)!
I also want to point out that its funny how we're all saying goodbye even though he already sayed he's leaving the forums

Elsewhere in Europe Spain is certainly leading the way and Montoro`s 38.0C is the hottest we have seen in Europe this year
Historical Introduction
The onset of Montoro prehistory dates back to 50,000 years ago in Middle Paleolithic full. We must advance to the fifth millennium BC. C. to find human presence more or less sedentary. It is in the Late Bronze Age (1100-950 a. BC) when it starts Protohistory Montoro, as evidenced by the remains found in the Llanete of the Moors.
Phoenicians, Greeks and Carthaginians Epora visited the former, but the Romans are the ones that give greater splendor. They arrive late third century. C. in a friendly way, as people had stayed away or as an ally of Rome in the Roman-Carthaginian litigation. A few years later Rome Montoro gives the status of "civitas foederata" and in the early years of Christianity the municipality. With the invasion of Germanic peoples the Roman Epora lost its splendor, but remained independent until the arrival of the Arabs. Lasts about five centuries of Arab domination. St. Bartholomew's Day of 1240, King Ferdinand III conquered the Holy Montoro. From 1245 belongs to the Crown of Castile under the jurisdiction of Cordoba. In 1658 passed to the Marquis of El Carpio. Four years later Philip IV stands the villa Duchy. In 1808 Fernando VII is declared by "City Noble, Loyal and Patriotic." |
Stage pre-Roman |
The onset of Montoro prehistory dates back 50,000 years in the Mousterian, in the Middle Paleolithic, when the man called contemporary of Neanderthal lived in this area. However, some people think that about 100,000 years ago Homo erectus was walking by one of the sites of the Sierra Montoro. In the fifth millennium BC human presence was more or less sedentary, according to the axes found in the Palomarejo. At the end of the fourth millennium BC, the cists found in the Loma de la Higuera and hammers miners found, attest to the passage of man through the area. From 1,100 to 950 a. C. fragments of pottery and the remains of charred coal and wheat found in the Moors Llanete witness the beginning of the Dark Ages of Montoro from Late Bronze to the presence of stable population. During the VIII-VII centuries. C. the findings of burnished pottery, handmade in the form of bowls or plates a metallic sheen to the Llanete of the Moors and the Palomarejo testify to the existence of a small stable core protourbano with characteristics similar to those of Ategua, Carmona. . This town home Late Bronze circular or elliptical, built with mud boulders continued until the Romanization. In the VII-VI centuries a. C. Phoenician pottery made to impose their lathe and painted with red lacquer. This period was found in the Moors Llanete an ivory comb fragment with a single row of tines. Human settlement in Montoro was maintained in the immediate aftermath of the fall of Tartessos. In Llanete of the Moors were five fragments of vessels made by the technique of core sand. In s. III is expected to leave the Punic influence felt in the pre-Roman Montoro. |
Roman Stage |
The fact that the support eporenses Scipio favored the Carthaginians relations between the two peoples and Epora signed a "foedus" or treated to the year 206. C. acquiring the status of "civitas foederata". Which in the late Republic there were only three cities in Andalusia Confederate (Gades, Malacca and Epora), highlights the importance of such rank. These cities were losing their autonomy and became a municipality. The administrative transformation of Epora was achieved in the early years of Christianity, having being granted by Augustus as a reward for his loyalty to Caesar, his adoptive father, in dispute with Pompey. Regarding communications Epora suffice to say that was the first mansion of the "Via Augusta" of Corduba to Castulo had a stretch through the mountains and one in the countryside. The mansions were a kind of post-house that had horses and chariots of soda. At the time of decay of the Empire, Epora converts to Christianity at the beginning of s. IV. |
Stage Visigoth |
Is this a dark period in the history of Montoro, and most important traces left there by the Visigoths are the inscriptions. |
Stage in the Middle Ages |
At first, religious tolerance and non-confiscation of the lands of the Christians who had not fled, there was coexistence between the two peoples. However, Montoro medieval history is not known until the Christian conquest in s. XII. On August 24, 1240, St. Bartholomew's Day, King Ferdinand III conquers the city. From 1245 belongs to the Crown of Castile under the jurisdiction of Cordoba. |
Montoro in the Modern Age |
On January 10, 1660 the Chapter Montoreños betray the people signing the waiver of transfer of jurisdiction in favor of the said Marquis. In 1662 Philip IV stands the villa duchy. In 68 when he married Catalina de Haro, Marchioness of El Carpio and Duchess of Montoro, with the Duke of Alba converge all three titles in the same family. The legal status of the town would clearly be noble, but not to sell the King to those of Haro nothing but some land of the term, occurs when less confusion: in 1731 Catalina Mendez de Haro, granddaughter of the first Duke of Montoro, claims possession effective term. The town does not yield to his claims and asks the king their protection. It begins a long dispute between town and manor that will last more than a century that will end only when they are abolished the seigneurial rights. |
Contemporary Age |
Already in 1969, is declared by its wealth of art and its typical architecture, Historic preservation, currently being considered as the most picturesque city in the province of Cordoba. |

Ritual Wine Vessel (Guang). China, late Shang dynasty, 13th–11th century B.C.E. Bronze, 8 1/2 x 6 1/2 x 4in. (21.6 x 16.5 x 10.2cm). Brooklyn Museum, Gift of Mr. and Mrs. Alastair B. Martin, the Guennol Collection, 72.163a–b
Long-Term Installation
Closed for Renovation
The Brooklyn Museum houses one of America's foremost collections of Asian art. The Asian galleries provide a full survey of those holdings, featuring more than 350 works of art from Japan, Korea, China, India, Southeast Asia, and the Himalayas. The galleries are home to a diverse array of objects, from glowering Japanese guardian figures to delicate Indian miniature paintings, and from the heavily wrought surface of a Chinese cloisonné altarpiece to the smooth celadon glaze of a Korean ewer.
The Chinese gallery at the Museum features objects that range in date from the Neolithic period (circa 3000 B.C.E.) to the present. The works of art on display reveal the sophistication of Chinese craftsmanship and the variety of concerns—funerary, courtly, religious, and poetic—that combined to define traditional Chinese culture. They also demonstrate an enduring respect for antiquity, visible in forms derived from ancient bronzes, emblems such as the dragon and the taotie mask, and materials such as jade, all of which were employed by Chinese artists over several centuries.
The Brooklyn Museum was one of the first American institutions to collect and exhibit Korean art, and as a result it houses one of the country's premier collections. The gallery presents the varied art forms through which Korea distinguished itself from its neighbors, including a fine selection of ceramics such as early stoneware funerary vessels, inlaid celadons, and later wares with freely painted underglaze decoration. Also on view are rare examples of bronzes, furniture, and painting.
Japanese works form the largest area within the Asian collections at the Brooklyn Museum. In addition to the traditional arts of Japan, the galleries include a selection of ceramics made by the great masters of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. A section of the gallery is dedicated to the art of the Ainu people of northern Japan, material rarely seen in Western museums.
The Museum's outstanding collection of South Asian art includes works from India and surrounding areas. The objects in this collection represent the rich religious traditions of southern Asia—Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, and Islam—with an emphasis on figural sculpture and architectural elements. Among the strengths of the Museum's holdings are terracotta figures dating from prehistory to the present and courtly objects made from precious materials.
Southeast Asia and the Himalayas are represented by smaller installations within the galleries, but these collections include several noteworthy objects, including large-scale sculptures from Cambodia and Thailand and early images from Kashmir and Nepal. Like South Asian traditions, the arts of these areas are primarily religious in subject or inspiration.
The displays of paintings and textiles in the Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and Indian galleries change periodically. These temporary installations are usually thematic and often highlight works of art that are rarely on view because they are light-sensitive.

Being an Indian, muslim female artist living and traveling throughout South East Asia, this exhibit really hit home. I love the timelessness of pottery and other works.

it was a beautiful experience to see the different types of artifacts from the Middle East. It was honestly breath taking
I liked how there was a mix of the different countries in Asia and not art from not just one place.
