What's happening in patient and public involvement now?
Patrick Vernon, who is the Chair of the National Programme Advisory Group has said "Although, parliament, the health select committee, Care Quality Commission, Monitor and local authority health scrutiny committees are all essential, ultimately local people and communities need to be in the driving seat to call to account any failure of services, or to influence service change and better commissioning. It is not good enough that we still have to rely on whistle blowing from a frustrated professional; the death of a patient in tragic circumstances; or a fly on the wall documentary on maltreatment and abuse before the system to will respond."
The Joint Health and Well Being Strategy, overseen by a new Board and elected members of the Local Authority Scrutiny Committee, will empower community involvement, and improve health outcomes through immediate service delivery. In Devon, the exemplar for the shadow Health and Well Being Board will be services for Children with Additional Needs, overseeing the development of new processes surrounding the commissioning, provision and scrutiny of these services, recently put out to tender. Currently managed by NHS Devon, Integrated Children's Services are a range of health, social care and education services for children and families which aim to make services as seamless as possible for those needing to access them. Services range from the universal (for example health visiting and school nursing) to highly specialised (for example services for children with disability). Allen Bowen, the Chair of LINk Devon will sit on the shadow board, and a representative from Devon's Joint Engagement Board.
By paying regard to the wider determinants of health,the Board will have also have a role in promoting and supporting the role of individuals and groups in shared decision making processes at all levels where health outcomes are a concern. Local Healthwatch organisations will be supported by a new national body called Healthwatch England which comes into being in October 2012.
The current purpose of the LINk in Devon is to enable community groups, organisations and individuals to participate in a network. Participants all over England are committed to widening the influence of patients, users of social care and the public in the planning of local care services. Locally, by promoting and supporting involvement, LINk Devon can encourage statutory, private and voluntary services to operate a culture of meaningful participation at all levels. This is with a view to improving services which are increasingly safe, timely, and appropriate, ensuring people get the services they need, and reducing waste at a time when public resources are operating in a period of austerity.
There are many ways to get involved in service planning. You may wish to:
- · submit an idea to the Peninsula Clinical Research in Healthcare Centre via their website.
- · raise a practical issue e.g. to do with opening times of pharmacies in your area
- · research your condition and discuss self management of your condition on a more equal basis with your GP
- · join the Patient Reference Group at your GP surgery
- · engage with the Foundation Trust which operates hospital care in your area
- · feed back about your service via the NHS Choices website, which is Europe's most widely used health website
- · have a personal budget and choose qualified services to suit your treatment plan
- · access your patient records (some areas in Devon are already looking at how portable patient records, communications and assistive technology can be used to benefit patients, particularly those with long term conditions who use a range of qualified service providers)
LINk Devon can help you find your way round the system but it's up to all of us to make the most of Healthwatch in the future!

History of Qatar
The families that rule the northern Arabian Gulf states are, almost without exception, descended from migrants from the central region of the Arabian peninsula in the 18th and early 19th centuries. The Al-Khalifas, who today govern Bahrain, also established a settlement on the small peninsula directly opposite the island – modern-day Qatar. The Al-Khalifas were unable to hold on to their mainland possession, however, and were displaced by the Al-Thani clan. The Al-Thanis were part of the original wave of migration, but little else is known about their origins.
As the country rich in history and heritage, Qatar was a former pearl fishing centre. Archaeological discoveries, inscriptions and artifacts in this country prove that the land now known as Qatar was populated from around 4000 BC. During the pre-Islamic era, it was mostly dominated by foreign powers, such as the Persian dynasties, then during the Islamic era Qatar was one of the first areas to convert to Islam.
Qatar remained quite independent during medieval times although races and ideas were introduced into the peninsula from Africa, South and Southeast Asia, as well as the Malay archipelago, as a result of Qatar's participation in ocean commerce.
The British initially became interested in Qatar due to its location, which was a useful and significant vantage point en route to their colonial interests in India. However the British Empire's dominance over Qatar diminished after the 2nd world war, especially following Indian independence in 1947, and on 3rd September 1971 Qatar became an independent sovereign state. The Emir, His Highness, Sheikh Hamad Bin Khalifa Al Thani, acceded to power on the 27th June 1995 after seizing control of the country in a bloodless coup whilst his father was on holiday in Switzerland. The Emir and his father are now reconciled.
HH the Emir announced the appointment of his son on 5th August 2003, His Highness Sheikh Tamim Bin Hamad Al Thani as the Heir Apparent. The ruling Al Thani family was among a tribal group who settled for a long time at the Gibrin oasis in the southern Najd, before their arrival in Qatar during the early 18th century. The name Al Thani is derived from that of the family's ancestor Sheik Thani Bin Mohamed Bin Thani, who was the first Sheikh to rule over modern Qatar during the mid- 19th century. The family is a branch of the ancient Arab tribe, the Bani Tameem, whose descent, can be traced back to Mudar Bin Nizar.
Since his rise to power the Emir has introduced many liberal reforms such as press freedom, extended with the launch of the television news channel Al Jazeera, elections in 1999 (where Qatari women voted for the first time) and the drafting of a new constitution.
Qatar Major Cities and Towns
|QATAR Map - Click for larger view
The Capital of Qatar. Doha is Qatar's largest city and is the economic hub as well as the commercial, cultural and educational centre of the country. It is well placed in the middle of the East Coast Peninsula with 15 major districts. Qatar has a modern seaport, airport and is home to the largest Middle East news network satellite station, Al Jazeera.
Al Wakra
It is a pleasant little town nestled between Doha and Umm Said. Once a tiny fishing village but now Al Wakra has expanded and developed into a small town. Historic architecture is plentiful here, captured in mosques and old homes. The Museum, harbour and beaches are good examples of the small town's success.
Umm Said Umm Said is mainly an industrial area with various industrial establishments. Umm Siad is located 37 km South of Doha.
Al Khor North of Doha, on the east coast, lays the small seaside town of Al Khor. Traditionally Al Khor was known as a small fishing village. However, it boasts distinguished beaches, a museum, mosques and an historic tower. Many of the expatriates who work in Ras Laffan live here.
Madinat Al-Shamal Madinat Al Shamal is unique because it is surrounded by the Persian Gulf on 3 sides. Although the town is considered to be relatively new, the historic rulers of this area were the Al Thani family. A number of the coastal villages are still administered from here. An hour and a half's drive from Doha will get you there.
Al Ruwais Famously known for its breathtaking views and traditional Bedouin lifestyle experience, AL Ruwais is located on the northern tip of the peninsula. The 110 km drive from Doha provides an insight into the history and cultural heritage of the region.
Al Zubara Al Zubra is positioned approximately 113 km North West of Doha. Near Zubrah, on the west coast, are the ruins of an early Islamic settlement called Murwah. There is an important fort which was used by the military until the 1980's and which also served as a coastguard station.
Dukhan West of Doha, after an 89 km drive, you'll find Dukhan. Several thousand QP (Qatar Petroleum) employees live here. The Importance of this city is based on the discovery of oil in its surrounding areas.
Society, Culture and Lifestyle
|Visa to QATAR? - Read more information
In general, the Qatari Inhabitants are of Arabic origin and the culture is very much based on Islamic tradition. Islam is the dominant influence on day-to-day life. This rich cultural tradition is present in what they wear, eat and drink. Qataris are known for their generosity and friendliness, thus making Qatar a very welcoming country.
Qatar Lifestyle
In Qatar the lifestyle revolves around two things: money and the weather; and it won't be long before expats realise that both have an impact on nearly everything in this Gulf state.
It is no secret that this country's existence, in its modern form, is built on its vast gas and oil reserves. The skyline of Doha, Qatar's capital city, is growing at a breakneck pace. Signs of its new wealth are evident everywhere one goes; from supercars on the roads to VIP shopping experiences in the many malls.
The growth in the population of expat workers is a necessary part of Qatar's development and there is an ever-increasing amount of activities to keep those relocating here occupied. Expats should note that the summer months are a challenge. July and August are characterised by scorching temperatures and high humidity. Outside activities are just not an option, and during this time Doha practically empties of its inhabitants.
Winter is an altogether more refreshing prospect. Dune bashing, camel racing and fishing excursions aboard traditional Dhow boats are only a few invigorating options available. From October onwards many of the hotels will have weekly beach parties with international DJs and other live acts. For those wanting a more laid-back time, it's possible to pack a tent and head out to the desert for a night sleeping under the stars. There is something quite magical about watching the sunrise over the turquoise waters of the Persian Gulf.
All things considered though, despite its meteoric rise, Qatar remains a conservative country. It is an Islamic state and those who reside here must abide by local laws and respect the Muslim mandate.
Access to alcohol is restricted, dress-code in public areas must be 'respectful' and any public sign of affection is not allowed.
The People
There are approximately 2 million people living in Qatar. More than half of the population lives in the capital city of Doha. Three-quarters of the Qatari population are Muslim, while the remaining population practices a variety of other religions. The official language is Arabic, though English is commonly spoken. The thriving economy has attracted a large number of expatriates, particularly from neighboring Arabic states.
Executive power is held exclusively by the Emir, a member of the Al-Thani family, which has ruled Qatar since independence. The Emir serves as both head of state and head of government. There is no independent legislature or political parties. Some decision-making is devolved to a Council of Ministers appointed by the Emir. A 30-strong advisory council with limited powers was created in 1972. The Emir's democrtisation plan envisages a 45 member parliament, of whom 30 will be popularly elected and 15 appointed by him.
Since the mid-1800s, Qatar has grown from a poor British protectorate known for pearling into one of the world's most important oil and gas producing countries. While there is increasing investment in non-energy sectors, oil and gas still account for more than half of the Gross Domestic Product. Due to oil and gas, the country now has one of the highest incomes per capita in the world.
The monetary unit of Qatar is the Qatari Riyal (QR), which is divided into 100 Dirhams.
Bank notes in circulation are QR 1, QR 5, QR 10, QR 50, QR 500, coins available are Dh5, Dh 10, Dh 25, and Dh 50.
The exchange rate is linked to the US Dollar at the fixed rate of US$1 = QR3.65
Islam is the official religion of the country and Shari'a (Islamic) Law is the principal source of legislation and this is applied to family law, inheritance and some criminal acts. The Qatari's are very dedicated to upholding tradition and deeply religious and you will hear the call to prayers from every mosque five times a day. During this time many Muslims will stop whatever they are doing to go to the mosque or kneel to prayer wherever they are.
The official language of the State of Qatar is Arabic, but English is widely spoken and understood. All official documents (such as visas, resident permit applications and contracts) must be completed in Arabic.
Transport and driving
Traffic in Qatar drives on the right. Qatar has comparatively liberal laws, for instance women can't legally drive in Saudi Arabia but they can drive in Qatar. Expats should be cautious and employ defensive driving tactics since the country is known for having accident rates. Taxis are widely available in certain areas although buses are scarce and the rail network, which resumed construction in 2013, is only due for completion in 2030.
The Airport
Qatar's main airport is the Doha International Airport..
Alcohol is permitted in Qatar but is only available at the Qatar Distribution Center (QDC) or in licensed hotels or clubs. Expats that are not Muslim can obtain an alcohol permit that allows them to purchase alcohol at the QDC. Alcohol can only be purchased for personal consumption and you will only be permitted to spend an allotted percentage of your annual salary on alcohol. Although Qatar is seen as liberal in some aspects it is much less liberalised than the UAE or Bahrain.
A 10 percent service charge is often added to hotel and restaurant bills, and remains the expected amount when service hasn't been charged for. Taxi drivers also expect a small gratuity, and rounding up the due amount is often enough.

Many restaurants are closed during the day and there are restrictions on smoking and drinking. Some disruption may continue into Eid al-Fitr itself. Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha may last anything from two to 10 days, depending on the region.
Travel Advisory
Qatar is one of the choice destinations to visit and live and one of the safest places in the world.
If you travel to Qatar, stay or live in this country respect the Islamic beliefs of Qataris and Bedouins: While there is no legal requirement to wear the hijab, women shouldn't wear tube tops and skimpy outfits, although there is no strict rule and women are free to dress as they feel. It is absolutely acceptable for any nationality to wear the traditional Qatari clothes, the thobe.
If you're dining with a Qatari, don't expose the bottoms of your feet to him/her. Don't eat with your left hand either, since the left hand is seen as the 'dirty hand'. Similarly, don't attempt to shake hands or hand a package with your left hand.
If your Qatari friend insists on buying you something—a meal or a gift—let him! Qataris are extremely hospitable, and typically there are no strings attached. It is generally a custom to argue for the bill.
Emergency numbers
The general emergency number for police ambulances and fire services in Qatar is 999. Operators will often speak English.
Avoid eating in public during the holy month of Ramadan or you may be fined or even go to jail.
As a visitor to Qatar you should exercise a high degree of caution. Take care of your valuables and other personal possessions. Take out comprehensive travel and medical insurance before you travel.
Qatar is a Muslim country, you have not to forget it.

Listening to music online?
So, somehow I've put some music on at work today and no-one's saying shit?! Seems I'm getting away with it but I have no idea where to go to listen to decent music online. So far I've tried them with some classical, some punk, some 80s hair-metal and some dub/funk and they've not batted an eyelid. Mint.
Pandora was the only place I knew of but it won't let me on anymore cos of having a UK IP address (the bastards).
So, DiSers - Where do I go to stream some good music??
listen to my radio station on there.
may contain traces of dashboard con, embrace and girls aloud (y)
they have a radio stream
resonance fm
or go to marvin suicides home page... mostly electro stuff
I'd second Last.FM
Can you install the player software? I just stick things like Shellac and Fugazi into the search box and it finds great bands.
i'm listening to 'indie pop rocks!' right now.
I suppose I should check out Last.fm - but for now I'm more than happy with this http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/zanelowe/zanedeps_radiohead.shtml?focuswin that I found. Lovely (although it still baffles me - why on earth does everyone fucking love Burial? it's totally ball-less, soul-less music)
air-punch radio on last fm
is the best.

"For everything there is a season…. a time to tear down and a time to build up."
–Ecclesiastes 3
"When tying to describe the area, the word 'chaos' is an understatement. The amount of trash and goods just torn up and scattered everywhere was unreal. Metal buildings just shredded, fences twisted, toilets hanging in trees, homes that seemed to have vanished, and walls standing without roofs!"
Let me start by saying thank you Bethel and a special thanks to The Magills who raised over $2,800 for the victims in Moore, Oklahoma! I'm in awe of Gods people coming together for this need! -Tara and Ryan Smith
We arrived in Norman Oklahoma on the morning of May 25th 2013 ready to deliver goods to an area in need. Our destination; First Baptist Church in Norman, Oklahoma. We met with Clint, the outreach minister, and began unloading the 2 trailers that our community in Tyler, TX had donated for the Moore, OK tornado victims.
We had an assembly line of 14 people and it took every one of us to unload those trailers. We had everything from water (lots of water) to shovels, tooth paste, teddy bears, and dog food! It was so awesome to have people pull up and be able to load their car with so many needed supplies after loosing everything!
We also had 1,000 lbs of fajita meat to cook so we headed over to a small church and community that had very little support. They were having a town meeting at 3pm so we got there and started cooking for the community at a church called Pecan Valley. When I say these folks were excited about having a hot fajita with veggies I can't stress the excitement. There was a line approximately 1/2 mile long waiting to have a hot meal.
That evening we were able to go help a few people in the area with clean up. At first I thought many of these victims were still so dirty, (and many were from working) but most were actually just so bruised from getting hit by debris. There were so many hurting physically, and even more that were emotionally and psychologically destroyed by the realization of all their belongings being gone. Many have no job, no cars, no house, and are living in tents. There are shelters, but because of looting people can't leave. This is a very finacially depressed area so there aren't many homes with insurance.
We met a mom who lost her job (the business was destroyed by the tornado) so she didn't get a pay check the week before. Half of their home was destroyed but they did have electricity and they were the only home on the entire road that had power. So, with half of her home gone, she is feeding 25-30 people out of cans and donations! I was in SHOCK! Red Cross is there but they don't climb hills to feed others, or come to you to feed those that are in the remote locations.
We decided that the next day we would help cook for these people. We pre-made fajitas and delivered them up and down the roads on Sunday. We would say "God bless you" as we handed them a luke-warm (but familiar) meal and many would just break down in tears.
We realized that many were in need of very specific items and tools, but no longer had any form of transportation to go get what they needed. We ended up asking what people needed, driving up to the distribution center, and coming back to deliver the items.
Many locations have SO much clothing but not specific sizes and no more room to handle the clothing. A few times we were able to go to Walmart, buy specific clothes and supplies that weren't available from the distribution center, and help families that way. Each family was SO grateful! I had one sweet precious mother tell me:
"What you focus on is what you get. We have nothing left to lean on but God. I'm standing on the promises."
She lost her family business, her vehicles, and her home.
While working at a distribution center at a gas station in Little Axe we were able to pray with people, meet immediate needs, and find out from them what physical labor they needed for our group to do when we come back!
How can you help?
Please be praying for God to continue to work in these small areas. Moore is saturated with help. But these smaller communities have just as much damage, but little if ANY support.
We are going back the week of June 9th. If you are interested in serving on a work mission please let us know. I am excited to go back and love on them in Jesus name!
List of items still needed:
When we return we will be sharpening Chainsaw chains for the families and volunteers. We will be working to remove trees and brush from homes and helping those who lost everything recover the goods they can so they can feel comfortable to go to a shelter!

"Hours of fun await me tonight," wrote Nicole Villeneuve, a 2009 graduate of Yale University, on Twitter. She was not speaking about a party, but she was referring to a reunion of sorts.
In a deal with Jstor, Villeneuve's alma mater had just announced it was giving her – and all Yale alumni – free access to the academic journal archive's catalogue.
Villeneuve's enthusiasm was not unique. Ishaan Tharoor, a 2006 graduate, called the deal "the best thing Yale has done" for him since he left. "Nothing has made me happier all day," tweeted Cristina Costantini, who graduated in May.
Yale is the latest of 19 institutions to provide unlimited access to Jstor to alumni through the archive's alumni access pilot, which it opened with little fanfare in 2009. The pilot grew out of little more than speculation and a sense that offering perpetual access to the popular library resource could be a boon for the colleges' alumni relations and generate a little extra money for Jstor. (The initial price is 10 per cent more than the institutions' existing content licenses.)
Now, with two full years of usage data under their belts, some colleges are finding that even though many alumni no longer have to write scholarly papers, some still enjoy being able to read them.
Jstor chose a range of different types of institution for the pilot, which includes Columbia University, Smith College, the State University of New York at Buffalo, American University, and several overseas universities and theological seminaries.
"We're trying to get a mix of institutions and find out what are the differences in how alumni use Jstor at these different institutions – and hopefully to find some different funding models," said Bruce Heterick, vice-president for outreach services at Jstor.
Alumni usage at the pilot institutions has also varied. One elite private research university logged 90,000 visits in 2009 and almost 128,000 last year. (Citing privacy considerations, Jstor would not connect the names of pilot participation with usage data.)
However, that institution – the first to sign on to the pilot and the only one with two full years' worth of data – is an outlier. At a smaller elite research university (about half the size of the first), alumni visited Jstor a comparatively modest 21,000 times last year. Other pilots returned lower data. One multi-campus state university, which enrols many more students than the first elite private institution, clocked 12,000 visits. One medium-sized private research institution only clocked 741 visits last year.
Heterick said it was difficult to read too much into the results, since there were a number of variables, such as how aggressively the programmes were marketed. What is certain is that there is demand for academic journals from alumni, he said. The next step, he added, will be figuring out exactly how valuable that access is for institutions, and how much it should cost them.
"Just the potential of engagement it affords me is worth the price of admission," said William Mayer, the university librarian at American University. He called the alumni access programme "another creative way for libraries to leverage their resources as a tool for engagement with their alumni base".
Speaking to Inside Higher Ed from an alumni happy hour, Mayer grabbed Shannon Williams, who recently graduated from a master's programme at American. Williams said she was temping at the moment, but aspired to work in human rights and had been using Jstor approximately once a month "to keep up with articles in [her] field".
David Carlson, dean of library affairs at Southern Illinois University at Carbondale, said perpetual access to the scholarly database was a more meaningful token of having graduated from an academic institution than the other perks the alumni office sometimes arranged.
"It's an academic benefit…rather than, say, a 10 per cent discount on Hertz rental cars," he said.

A Burger King manager risked his life to help save others on Monday night.
That's what employees said happened last night when three gunmen burst into the Gallatin Pike North location.
"Three people came inside and he saved everybody's life," said Termikka Edwards, a co-worker at Burger King.
Edwards was describing the actions of Maurice Farris, 34, after the gunmen entered the restaurant at 11:33 p.m.
"He saved everybody here," said Edwards, choking back tears. "He's always been there if you needed someone to talk to, anything. He's a great guy. He's a hero."
Police said three masked persons, at least two of them armed, entered the Burger King through the rear door. Kenneth Lamont Jernigan, 18, was in the lead.
As they came into the kitchen area, Farris tackled Jernigan. As Farris took Jernigan down, Jernigan's two masked accomplices ran from the building. They are believed to have fled the area in a small white SUV.
Police believe Jernigan was fatally wounded as he was tackled by and struggled with Farris, who was wounded by the gunfire and is in critical condition at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.
Edwards said Farris had recently taken over as the night shift manager at the Gallatin Pike North location. He was there with four or five other when the gunmen walked in.
"He saved everybody's life. He knocked the gunman down and he got shot and he pulled the gun on the guy and just giving everybody else time to get out," said Edwards.
"It could have been me. It could have been any of us, but he didn't deserve this."

Hollenthon - Of Splendid Worlds
Alright, here's some symphonic metal. It's pretty cool stuff. Strange beats, dissonant guitars, guttural vocals; sounds pretty weird, and it is, but it comes together so wonderfully creating a dark, heavy sound straight from the depths of hell. Sorry to the indie fans, doubt you'll like this much, if at all.

VCBH: Why we continue to ride
Viva Carlos really does put out some great questions! This one in particular motivated me, since I get this question sometimes. Why DO I continue to ride?
Well, it's both incredibly complex and very simple.
Simply put: I love to ride. I love my horse; I love horses in general. I love the feeling of partnership and zen that we get when we work hard together and are both on the same page. I love the rhythm of it, I love being outside, and I love just the feeling of riding. I joke that I keep my sanity in my saddles, and if I stay away from them too long I start to slip further away from sanity. :)
I also just love that everything else slips away when I ride. Work, life stress, pain (mostly; I couldn't fight through broken bones or recently torn cartilage), worry, etc. It all just goes away and my attention is on my horse, my ride, my friends, etc.
There's also, like SMTT mentioned, the social aspect. I love the people I've met through horses. We all tend to have some things in common: willingness to work (I don't know many hugely high-priced riders who don't work for their rides), appreciation for these wonderful animals, and at least in the eventing community, a love of the outdoors and being a little scrappy. :) I love the supportiveness of the eventing community, too. Need a girth/whip/shirt? Just ask! Sticky places on course? Of course you'll tell someone else before they leave the start box. Et cetera.
I love the impetus to get out and exercise, too. To echo SMTT again, if I slack off, Apollo tells on me. :)
The complicated part comes from the fact that I've been hurt, moderately severely, more than once, and I have taken my own sweet time really learning how to ride effectively ... and yet I stick with it. Somehow, I haven't managed to give it up in 30 years ... I had a long break after college, but I rode every chance I got and still loved horses and riding. Honestly, I think that one is either a horse person or not, and you can't really get away from it if you're a horse person. We ride because, on some level, we must. I am pretty sure that if the zombie apocalypse came and horses weren't zombified, I would still manage to find a horse to ride. :) I might not be great, but I would find one.
I'd bet my readers are the same.

Persona and the Sounds of Silence
An opera about two women - one of whom doesn't sing - is a daring idea. The 1966 Ingmar Bergman film Persona (on which the opera is based) stars two women, one of whom doesn't speak. In the opera by composer Keeril Makan and librettist Jay Scheib, one of the lead characters is also silent, and the show becomes a musical monologue for the other. In the current LA Opera Off Grand production you have the push and pull of something that is at once a rather faithful adaptation and, at the same time, a work that is entirely original. The results are splendid.
Though the film is in Swedish and the opera is in English, both works share the same plot: Elisabet, a seemingly healthy actress, stops talking and is put into the care of Alma, a dedicated nurse. Alma continually pierces the silence by telling Elisabet all about herself. The result is that Alma learns more about herself than perhaps she wants to know, and she winds up "pouring" her personality into Alma (who is revealed to be an empty vessel.) The two become one - or do they? More words have been written about Bergman's movie than any of his other sixty or so films, because the work is so layered and contradictory. In Bergman's film, actresses Bibi Andersson and Liv Ullmann share enough Swedish DNA to look like sisters. One of the most memorable images from the film is when their faces merge. In the opera, Amanda Crider (as Alma) and Lacey Dorn (as Elisabet) look nothing alike - one is brunette and one blond for example. This proves to be no obstacle to the plot as it plays out. Director (and as noted, lyricist) Jay Scheib gets enormous credit for putting talent before type.
Scheib never lets us forget that the story was once a film. Several cameras and numerous monitors capture the live opera performances, many in close-ups that we usually never get to see except in the smallest of theaters. Influenced not only by Bergman but by early television, the composition of Scheib's shots remind us of the live plays that filled the airwaves in the 1950's. The cameras - one of which is on a large boom - often obscure the action on the stage but we never miss anything, thanks to the TV screens. This is especially important for our understanding of the character of Elisabet (a powerful and subtle "silent film" performance by Dorn.) Fine support comes from Peabody Southwell and Joshua Jeremiah in small but essential roles.
But it's Alma, played by mezzo-soprano Crider who must carry the show on her musical shoulders and she delivers a stunning performance, both as singer and as actress. Crider doesn't miss a beat capturing the emotional complexity of Alma's character while traversing the complexity of Keeril Makan's score.
Makan has written a minimalist work where much of the dialogue in the libretto stays on one note or moves sparingly; this is merely a set-up for the orchestral and vocal explosions that surprise us at the most important dramatic turning points. Alma's phrase "I'm changing," for example, wildly breaks free from the recitative just as Alma is breaking free from herself. And at the moment when Alma is in a violent rage, the notes dance in the stratosphere of the soprano's upper range. (We do need the supplied subtitles at this point, but for the majority of the show the words are very clear and unencumbered by vocal compromises that can help singers hit notes but can confuse the audience.) There are no melodies to be found anywhere but there are some lovely passages, particularly when Alma sings to a sleeping Elisabet.
The "score" of Bergman's film by Lars Johan Werle is nothing more than some dissonant blasts of flutes and xylophone, but Makan was clearly influenced. Werle may have set the tone, but Makan runs with it, opening things up with an eight-piece ensemble under the direction of Evan Ziporyn. While Crider sings the words, Ziporyn's group - especially not one, but two percussionists - offer all the punctuation.
The expert work of lighting and video designer Joshua Higgason and his team of live video editors and camera operators were essential for Scheib's vision. Camera operators Paulina Jurzec and Kim Madalinski move the cameras constantly in and around all the stage blocking. They are given a well-deserved bow in the curtain call.
This was the LA Opera debut for all of the creatives associated with this production except for producer Beth Morrison. At the talkback, Beth Morrison promised more projects and if this is any example, we eagerly await their arrival. No doubt that there is a bright future for LA Opera Off Grand and the Contemporary Opera Initiative which is dedicated to "the cultivation of new voices and new visions" - or, in this case, great voices and great visions.
The Scene
Box Office
Based on Ingmar Bergman's classic film, Persona is a provocative and artistically complex depiction of human frailty, cruelty and identity. In an isolated summer house, a young nurse becomes caretaker of a stage actress who has suddenly lost the ability to speak. The deepening layers of their unsettling relationship unfold in a taut psychological drama, revealed through a unique aural landscape and a richly layered production.

If I accidentally click to expand "Homegroup" under Open->File (or ->Save for that matter). then PMView fails (as in "PMView PRO has stopped working")
I seem to recall that this started when I upgraded my home PC from an old XP system to Win7 Ultimate on a much faster system. I never had much use for "Homegroup" though. I'm just tired of clicking the wrong "+" and having to start from scratch again. Both x64 and x32 versions fail (3.75 right now)
I've registered this problem with Technical Support, but thought I'd ask here in case anyone has a workaround.
It is quite probable that I've not setup a "Homegroup", but having PMView fail is a bit extreme...

The scam: Publishers Clearing House has been misused as much as any institution by scammers in recent times. Its name unfortunately has appeared several times in We've Got Your Back and it keeps returning. Just recently, We've Got Your Back reader Janice nearly got caught in a scammer's net.
How it works: Janice recently learned via a telephone call that she was a Publishers Clearing House winner. Over the course of several conversations, the callers asked her leading statements and questions that would reveal more of her identity. (For example, "Remind me of your address.") She also learned that she would have to "insure" her winnings at a cost of $1,800. All she needed to do was wire the cash to the callers. They noted that the normal cost of insurance was $2,500, so they were offering her a special deal. Who could resist?

I'm a pretty regular guy, a dad of two awesome kids who I adore, they're my number one purpose for challenging myself to push on and make a difference to myself, them and others, to make them proud and hopefully show them what can be achieved by mortals like us.
I also just love to run, travel and make a difference to others so being able to help charities and inspire others simply by doing things I love is an amazing gift I'm not going to waste.
It was only a few years ago after a car accident damaged my back that I was spurred on to get into running as it eased the pain by staying active. It took me a few weeks before I could even manage just 1-2 miles without problems and I've just continued onward and upwards ever since.
In the last few years I've raced and trained over thousands of miles from family park runs to beastly 40 mile obstacle races and the notorious Marathon des Sables running 156 miles across the Sahara. One of the best parts of making some noise about these challenges is it's enabled me to raise tens of thousands of pounds for charity which makes it all the more rewarding knowing that simply by putting one foot in front of the other I'm able to make a difference to those who really need it.
I've proudly been invited to be an ambassador for Anna's Hope, and am on the board of trustees for Nene Inspired in collaboration with the Duke of Edinburgh Awards to provide adventure experiences for young people in difficult circumstances.
I regularly write and feature in publications including Outdoor Fitness, Trail Running, The Guardian Running Blog, ESP Magazine amongst others and am an ambassador for Bio-Synergy health and fitness supplements.
I'm often invited to appear as guest speaker at presentations such as the Duke of Edinburgh Awards most recently at St James' Palace alongside Prince Edward which is a great honour and a privilege to be able to share my experiences in the hope to further inspire some already very accomplished young people.
Since writing for magazines reviewing races and talking of my challenges I thought I should create this site so I can just keep it all in one place. I hope this lot can inspire and encourage more people to keep pushing on and going after those goals, run, ride or walk after their next shiny medal and better themselves step by step, mile by mile.
Please feel free to contact me about public speaking or brand, product and race reviews, guest blogs or articles or anything else. I'm happy to hear feedback and questions so just fire away.

I HAVE A VISION…well, I have a television.
I thought now that I have some extra time I'd get caught up on important things… like TV.
What I discovered was shocking! Television, especially daytime TV, sucks!
I think the network executives know this because they seem to be trying to spice things up by giving shows violent names like Storage Wars, Karaoke Battles, BeatBox Battles, Towing wars, and my favorite the Cupcake wars. (What can be better than violence and baked goods?)
If creatures from other planets got a glimpse of our current TV shows they would have to assume that we are an incredibly petty race considering the things we seem to be battling over.
The food network is one of the worst. Do the executives there really believe that men are that stupid? Do they think that giving baking shows brutal sounding names is is going to fool men into watching a couple gay guys and some fat broads whipping up a batch of cupcakes?
While baking shows are given violent names, game shows are just becoming more violent. I remember when people use to sit in chairs, answer questions, and a buzzer was used to indicate wrong answers. Now, contestants are thrown off catapults and buildings. They are thrown into water and pelted with objects. There is even a show that gives contestants an electric shock for answering wrong. What has happened?
Groucho Marx's "You Bet your life" would have a whole new meaning in today's world.
I also can't stand the excessive narcissism of reality shows. The Fanny Pack (aka the Kardashians) are the worst with their inordinate greed and gluttony. Even the commercials for the show are benign. There was actually one commercial that showed the Kardashians at the dentist and said "find out which Kardasian has a cavity". (I bet millions were shaking with excitement for that riveting episode.)
I find it hard to believe that anyone cares which one has a cavity, or which one pees on herself, or which on farted in public. Seriously, if you are waiting on the edge of your seat to find out which Kardasian had a public butt malfunction, you need to get a life even more than I do.
We live in a weird society.
There's also a bizarre show called "I Didn't Know I was Pregnant". In almost every episode a woman is in a bathroom in pain. She thinks she has a bad case of constipation, but ends up with a baby in the toilet. I really just think they should rename the show "OMG…Look What I Just Crapped Out!"
Another popular reality show that bugs me is the one with the plastic women. Their facial skin is pull so tight that they look like reconstructed burn victims. They have fake boobs, fake hair, fake nails, and fake tans. What is it called? What else…The Real Housewives. (Plah-leeze…) A real housewife would be in sweats, a stained t-shirt, yelling at her kids while burning some Hamburger Helper on the stove.

It begins with a history of computing, from ... all » mainframes to the PC, with Apple, Steve Jobs and Bill Gates influence. It then shows how application virtualization - the elimination of software installation - is a key technical addition that frees software to travel the network and be wherever it has to be on-demand

My sweet husband is not a huge birthday person...prefers to keep things simple and quiet. But, unfortunately for him... he's married to the BIRTHDAY QUEEN!!! I LOVE having an excuse to throw a party =)
Last night, I planned on having our families over for a nice dinner to celebrate Ben's birthday (which is actually March 10th). We had a truly wonderful time and enjoyed the early part of the evening! Then, I may (or may not have), invited a few of Ben's buddies over to surprise him and celebrate with us with cake and drinks... we had a full house! Sorry I didn't get better pictures =)
And OF COURSE there was a Dallas Cowboys cake from Opulent cakes...yum!!!
A picture of our little family of three... (Reid WAS looking at the camera...but it looks like we just missed it in this shot...oh well!)
Ben's "real" birthday is actually this Tuesday, March 10th. My mom is taking our little dude for the evening and Ben and I have reservations at Bob's Steak and Chop House...CANNOT WAIT...YUM!!!! Happy early birthday to the greatest husband and daddy in the world!!!

How Do I Buy Life Insurance?
There are two great ways to go about the purchasing and getting information of life insurance. If you have a friend or associate who has great experience in the life insurance business, they should be contacted first. It is a great thing to go with someone that you know. This makes it a more comfortable process. If you can't find someone that you know, go and try to hire a person who knows what they are doing and has good credentials.
The Internet is a great resource! Use it to your advantage if you know how and can accurately find information that applies to life insurance. If not, there are always people around who can assist you. The Internet is a powerful and invaluable tool.
Although, there are many different ways that companies go about selling insurance, it all comes down to what is best and most affordable for you. This is why it is so crucial to shop around and get the best deal. Don't go with what looks nice at first, be sure to examine all possible outcomes and find what is right for you.
If you are referred to an agent or another person that knows about insurance, don't take it as you are being put off. Companies often do this to find the best options for you. If you are going online to look at insurance, do your research. Scam companies are everywhere and they have no problem taking your money and giving your nothing.

Romney's First Gay Bashing?
May 22, 2012
Read More: Mitt Romney
I have thought about Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney's high school bullying since the in-depth article in the Washington Post appeared on May 11th. I have considered my own high school years. Would I want to be judged now, some 20-plus years later over things that I did as a teenager? No, I would not. I have also considered that brain development is not complete until individuals are in their 20s. Specifically, brain processes that manage impulse control and predicting consequences are some of the last to form. Still, Mormonism aside, Governor Romney does not truly understand what it is like to be marginalized in a country that purports that everyone is equal, unless you are gay.
Washington Post writers gathered independent accounts from participants and onlookers of the alleged incident. These accounts depicted Romney as the ringleader of the pack of teenage boys that attacked their classmate. Nevertheless, Romney claims he has no memory of the attack. For me, the most troubling part is that assaulting a classmate with a weapon (scissors) cannot be recalled.
We all have things in our past that we are not proud of. Hopefully, we have apologized or attempted to right those wrongs. However, every person who has ever been assaulted lives with that trauma for the rest of their lives. Assault can lead to post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), which can haunt individuals for years. A classmate, who was one of the attackers, recounted that he apologized to the victim after a chance meeting at an airport years after the incident. This gay man (the victim) remained traumatized by the incident more than 20 years later.
Other classmates recalled that the victim was presumed by classmates to be gay. Romney has claimed that he grew up in an age when being gay was not discussed, so he had no reason to believe that the victim of this assault was gay. Over and over again in these independent accounts, classmates recalled that Romney disliked this young man because he seemed different, because he had long hair, because Romney did not believe that the young man fit in with their private school image. I do not condone or defend any type of bullying, but this was not a verbal attack. It was an assault…with a weapon.
Romney has lived a life of privilege. In addition, his Mormon faith has further insulated him from understanding the needs of marginalized groups. Should engaging in bullying as a teenager disqualify someone from being president? I don't think so. However, Romney cannot recall an assault that made such an impression on participants and onlookers that years later they recalled it in detail. Either Romney is a liar or a person so out of touch that he believed this assault was deserved in order to make the victim conform to social norms; therefore, it was non-memorable. I hope Romney is lying. If not, I hope that the latter characteristic proves to be a fatal flaw for his candidacy.

Prehab Exercises For Lower Back
Injury Prevention Drills May 29, 2009 Scott Thom 0
Here are 4 prehab exercises that will improve your lower back strength helping to prevent injuries ie, "I threw out my back, picking up a pencil". First off make sure you have a strong core, many low back injuries are due to a weak core. Everything is connected and if you have a weak link eventually something bad is going to happen. Secondly low back pain can be the result of tight hamstrings, glutes, and hip flexors. Make sure you have a good stretching and soft-tissue (foam rolling) routine in your daily game plan as well. Create a great day!!!! -Coach T

text: The 7th Grade football team played at Alliance last night. The weather was a concern for both teams as it rained the entire game. The Warriors started the game out with a defensive stand on fourth down. The following drive, Mckevier broke multiple tackles and scored on a long touchdown run. The Warriors were up at halftime 14 - 0 after Rose broke a 25 yard touchdown run right before halftime. Alliance started to battle back in the second half due to mental mistakes and turnovers by the Warriors. After 3 quarters of play the score was 20 - 8. The defense was strong all night, lead by Mitchell, Smith, and Coffee. Mckevier and Rose both broke long touchdown runs in the second half to help secure the victory.

When it comes to Christian concert promotion it takes MUCH more than just selling ticketing online. Anyone can do that. It takes...well promotion and lots of it. Most ticketing companies sell tickets, and that's about it. Yes they may charge you for a "email blast" that not even 15% of people even open. They may even sell you an ad on a site. But that's where the Christian concert promotion really stops.
Enter Christian Concert Alerts. Real Christian Concert Promotion and Ticketing.
People cannot purchase your tickets if they do not know about the event right? That's where real promotional work comes in.
Christian Concert Alerts actually spends more time on promoting your Christian concert or event than any ticketing company we know. In fact we are the most visible Christian Concert Ticketing company on the Internet. Here's the last proof of that.

Since 2007, our founder Chireya Fox (formerly Laura Fox) has been serving the plant based raw foods community with high vibe conscious events, media and entertainment, including initiatives to create "standards" for the raw foods movement. In 2008, we launched the Best of Raw Awards, an online contest which showcases and celebrates the People, Places, Products, Media and Eco-Initiatives of the Plant Based Raw Foods Movement. Professionals in the raw foods services and manufacturing industry may enter, and the public can "nominate their favorites."

In 2012, we added our "Peer-To-Peer" Awards to extend gratitude to leaders whose initiatives in the fields of raw foods manufacturing, eco-friendly packaging, culinary arts, medical science, research science and more deserve to be recognized for their achievements by their peers. These awards now continue into 2015 as the Pure Living Awards, taking place Friday, July 24 – Pure Living Awards Dinner Gala.
In 2013, we launched the Raw Living Expo (now the Pure Living Expo), a 3-day Expo-Conference-Festival hybrid event that has been acclaimed as one of the most exhilarating and life-promoting events on the planet.
In 2013, we also initiated Raw Living Radio, and the brand change to Pure Living Radio is currently underway.

The Scientist and The Preacher
"In regard to science there has often been full and cordial mutual recognition. Some eminent scientists have not failed in reverence for Christian institutions, the pulpit included; and some preachers here and there have been skilled scientists in various branches. But on the whole it must be sadly admitted that the relations between science and the pulpit have not been as friendly and mutually profitable as could be wished. If the progress of science has at times suffered from the dogmatism of the pulpit, even so the preaching of a sorely needed gospel has been sometimes hindered or harmed in effect by the dogmatism of science. Preachers have been known to assail science in an unchristian spirit, and scientists have perhaps as often denounced and discredited preaching in an unscientific spirit. Pulpit ignorance of science has been fairly matched by scientific ignorance of the aims and realities of the pulpit. Narrowness and arrogance on both sides have done their full share of mischief. It is time for a better understanding, for mutual respect, for more cordial united service between these two great agencies for human good. Reverent science seeking hidden truth should surely be no foe to earnest preaching proclaiming revealed truth; and the herald of God's saving grace in Christ should not be the enemy of the searcher after God's wondrous thought in creation. There is room in God's world for both the scientist and the preacher; there should be room in their hearts for each other."
Edwin Charles Dargan
Science and Religion: The SBC 'On the Record'
1. We recognize the greatness and value of the service which modern science is rendering to the cause of truth in uncovering the facts of the natural world. We believe that loyalty to fact is a common ground of genuine science and the Christian religion. We have no interest or desire in covering up any fact in any realm of research. But we do protest against certain unwarranted procedures on the part of some so-called scientists: first, in making discoveries or alleged discoveries in physical nature a convenient weapon of attack upon the facts of religion; second, using the particular sciences, such as psychology, biology, geology and various others as if they necessarily contained knowledge pertaining to the realm of the Christian religion, setting aside the supernatural; third, teaching as facts what are merely hypotheses. The evolution doctrine has long been a- working hypothesis of science, and will probably continue to be because of its apparent simplicity in explaining the universe. But its best exponents freely admit that the causes of the origin of species have not been traced. Nor has any proof been forthcoming that man is not the direct creation of God as recorded in Genesis. We protest against the imposition of this theory upon the minds of our children in denominational or public schools as if it were a definite and established truth of science. We insist that this and all other theories be dealt with in a truly scientific way, that is, in careful conformity to established facts.
2. We record again our unwavering adherence to the supernatural elements in the Christian religion. The Bible is God's revelation of Himself through men moved by the Holy Spirit, and is our sufficient, certain, and authoritative guide in religion. Jesus Christ was born of the Virgin Mary through the power of the Holy Spirit. He was the Divine and eternal Son of God. He wrought miracles, healing the sick, casting out demons, raising the dead. He died as the vicarious atoning Savior of the world and was buried. He arose again from the dead. The tomb was emptied of its contents. In His risen body He appeared many times to His disciples. He ascended to the right hand of the Father. He will come again in person, the same Jesus who ascended from the Mount of Olives.
3. We believe that adherence to the above truths and facts is a necessary condition of service for teachers in our Baptist schools. These facts of Christianity in no way conflict with any fact in science. We do not sit in judgment upon the scientific views of teachers of science. We grant them the same freedom of research in their realm that we claim for ourselves in the religious realm. But we do insist upon a positive content of faith in accordance with the preceding statements as a qualification for acceptable service in Baptist schools. The supreme issue today is between naturalism and super-naturalism. We stand unalterably for the supernatural in Christianity. Teachers in our schools should be careful to free themselves from any suspicion of disloyalty on this point. In the present period of agitation and unrest they are obligated to make their positions clear. We pledge our support to all schools and teachers who are thus loyal to the facts of Christianity as revealed in the Scriptures."
E. Y. Mullins, Presidential Address (excerpt), SBC, Annual, 1923.
