I got this great book for Christmas called American Food Writing: An Anthology: With Classic Recipes. I've only read a bit of it, but it's a collection of short stories and excerpts and recipes by various authors, ranging from Thomas Jefferson to MFK Fisher to John Steinbeck to Alice Waters. While reading it today I came upon a recipe for chowder, which I was planning on making for dinner (I was planning on clam, this recipe was for fish). This recipe, more a method, is from 1830 and by a Lydia Marie Child (no relation that I can tell to Julia). While I didn't follow the recipe ingredients (I used what I had), I was intrigued with Ms. Childs process. Instead of adding ingredients individually, she layers them, covers the pot, and lets the soup cook until done. Interesting! No process of cooking and stirring and adding, just layers like a casserole and then some cooking time, and voila! Chowder! I tried it and while there was a bit stuck to the bottom of the pan (I cooked it on high accidentally for a while), it was delicious. And easy. And fairly quick. Next time I might add some bacon (cooked first and left in the bottom of the pan) and onions (I was out), but maybe not! It was perfect as it was.
Another idea would be to assemble everything, then drop biscuits on top (see yesterdays chicken and biscuits) and bake until biscuits are done...
Easy Layered Clam Chowder
1 container chopped clams (sold frozen, thaw yours out, keep the juice!)
2-3 potatoes, slices as thin as you can slice them
4-5 cloves garlic, minced
1 to 1 1/2 c milk
4 T instant mashed potatoes
4 T fine GF breadcrumbs (I use crappy grocery store GF bread, whizzed in the food processor)
Pepper and salt
In a soup pot, put a bit of clam juice, and then spread a layer of potatoes. Sprinkle with a handful of clams, some minced garlic, and a bit of pepper. Next spread some instant potatoes, followed by breadcrumbs, then repeat until you've used up all the clams. Finish with a layer of potatoes, sprinkle a bit of pepper on top, then pour on all your clam juice and fill to the top of the last layer of potatoes with milk. Heat slowly to a simmer, then cover and go wash some dishes or watch tv for half an hour. Come back, taste for salt, and your chowder should be done! It will be peppery and creamy and delicious.

Thought I'd just drop in to introduce myself as my husband and I will be moving into Market Warsop some time in April.
Both born in Newcastle upon Tyne, we have just returned to the UK after 22 years in SW France. We actually started our property search in Cornwall but discovered your area completely by accident while on holiday with friends. We were completely enamoured and the rest, as they say, is history.
We are both animal lovers although our little family has reduced from 3 horses, 4 dogs and many cats, to just one ginger and white moggy.
I love baking, all kinds of craft and art, amateur dramatics, cycling and walking. My other half is very much an automobile nut. He also loves problem solving in any form.
Looking forward to joining you all up there.

Starting next week we plan to start a weekly post covering the D-Rays minor league system. However, Wednesday night's Visalia Oaks game could not wait until next week to be mentioned. The team tied a California League record by hitting 8 home runs in a 17-15 victory over the Bakersfield Blaze. More importantly, one of the Ray's top prospects, SS Reid Brignac hit 3 home runs and had 8 RBI. He is now hitting .429 on the season. Can anyone say B.J. Upton, thirdbaseman?

Lynn Minderman was kind enough to share her experiences as a PCV in Lesotho and talk to our group about the work she is doing through a 501(c)3 called Quolaquoe Mountain Connections. The organization's mission is, "to benefit the people of Qholaqhoe, Lesotho by providing financial grants to fund education, cultivate sustainable farming practices, and to alleviate hunger."
Lynn's personal connection to the country and the orphanage, established during her time in the Peace Corps, drive her work and present an impressive example of what a small group of people can accomplish.
To learn more about Quolaquoe Mountain Connections, visit http://www.qmconnect.org/.
Lynn will be hosting our November meeting in Schodack Landing. If you didn't get a chance to meet her, come on November 6…after you vote, of course.

More than two-thirds of young New Zealanders are not saving for their future - and just over half budget, a survey has found.
The findings come from the Financial Education and Research Centre, a joint venture between Westpac and Massey University, which has issued the baseline results for its 20-year longitudinal study - the first of its kind in New Zealand.
It found there was a "relatively low level of financial knowledge" when compared with similar studies in other countries and parents often remained the key source of informal financial education for young New Zealanders.
The survey also found that while 90 per cent recognised the importance of saving, 77 per cent of the 18 to 22-year-olds surveyed said it was not important to plan any further than four years ahead financially.
A further 52 per cent said they haven't given any thought to financial goals, spending habits and how to manage money.
The director of the centre, Dr Pushpa Wood, said the survey of 300 young Kiwis would be repeated with the same participants every five years for the next 20 years.
She said the preliminary findings would provide a benchmark for how much information young New Zealanders have on personal financial matters and where they obtain this information.
Westpac's managing director of private, wealth and insurance, former justice minister Simon Power, said there was "clearly a lot of work to do" in educating young New Zealanders about the importance of saving and budgeting.
Retirement Commissioner Diana Crossan said financial literacy as part of the OECD Programme for International Students Assessment programme was tested for the first time among Kiwi 15-year-olds in September.
The results are due early next year and will show how young New Zealanders compare against several other countries.
Of 18 to 22-year-olds surveyed:
*90 per cent recognise the importance of saving.
*80 per cent think it's better to spend savings than buy on credit.
*77 per cent don't think it's important to plan ahead financially more than four years.
*66 per cent learned everything about finances from their parents.
*52 per cent say they budget.

X marks Infinity Scarf
It's been a long time since I've had the chance to post a pattern. This one is something I've tried twice now. One in bulky yarn and this one in worsted weight. They are basically the same, an even amount of stitches, with the worsted version with about 70 more than the bulky. My Worsted weight version ended up with an even six inches in width.
You want to have an even amount of chains to start with, so that when you do the cross stitch double crochet it will come out evenly.
Worsted weight yarn and a J hook:
Chain 170 stitches, or however long you want your scarf to be. I wanted to be able to double this one up.
Making sure chain doesn't twist, slip stitch to close to begin working in rounds.
Round 1: ch 1, single crochet in same stitch and in each stitch around.
Round 2: ch 3, (counts as first stitch now and throughout) double crochet in next stitch and in each stitch around, slip stitch to top of beginning chain.
Round 3: ch 1, single crochet in same stitch and in each stitch around. slip stitch to close in top of first single crochet
Round 4: ( this round is the cross stitch round) chain 3, working in last stitch of previous round, double crochet by working across the front of beginning chain, (this makes a X effect) *skip next double crochet, double crochet in next stitch, double crochet in skipped double crochet* repeat from * to * around, slip stitching in to beginning chain.
Repeat rounds 1-4 for a width of your choice, I worked 3 sets total.
Then work another round of double crochet and then one final round of single crochet to finish off.

The organisers of Rugby World Cup 2011 have posted a tournament-end loss 20 per cent better than forecast, capping off a successful event that exceeded all expectations.Mathematicians among us will note that the taxpayers share of this loss is $21.3 million. Looks okay on the surface, and I'd be happy with it too, if there weren't more costs (like $190m towards Eden Park, among others)...
Rugby New Zealand 2011 today announced a loss of $31.3 million from staging the seventh Rugby World Cup, which is $8 million lower than forecast.
Under the original shareholding arrangement, two-thirds of any loss was to be covered by the Government, one-third by the NZRU but NZRU's share of the loss was subsequently capped at $10 million.
This, also, from the Rugby World Cup Minister, Murray McCully:
"Without a doubt, RWC 2011 will generate significant economic benefits for this country for many years to come," he said. "We welcomed 133,000 visitors to our shores and we were superb hosts for a great six-week celebration. The huge television audiences and extensive media coverage generated by the tournament boosted our international profile.I can completely understand the excitement when the loss is smaller than expected - this is indeed a positive result. I think it is a credit to the organisers of the tournament (Martin Snedden and his team) that the ticket sales exceeded expectations (I had my doubts, but I am glad to have been proven wrong), and that costs were lower than forecast. It was a very successful event, and many would consider it an investment that was well worth it (especially given that the All Blacks were victorious). The related question I am looking into at present is whether we saw the economic benefits during the tournament or whether these might plausibly materialise some time in the future.
"We also forged valuable new business partnerships and showed the world we are a smart and innovative economy capable of delivering major global events.
"We made the most of being in the world's spotlight, so this result really is the icing on the cake."
The winners (domestically): The NZRU.
The NZRU invested $10 million in RNZ 2011 and $10 million in the redevelopment of Eden Park.Interesting, that. A quick read of this 2005 paper by Stefan Kesenne will reveal something rather remarkable.
"From a rugby perspective, our investment in RWC 2011 is certainly paying off. We are seeing encouraging early signs that player registrations are up on last year and the strong gates and TV audiences we are seeing for Super Rugby are partly a spin-off from the wonderful atmosphere and exciting rugby we saw last year."

Several high profile titles have just seen an update on this fine April day. First and foremost – the ngmoco freemium Farmville-style sim game – We Rule has finally been updated with loads of long awaited interface and performance tweaks, as well as a the placeholder for new buildings. I have checked it out and the game has become much more user-friendly as well as a bit quicker on the uptake on the iPhone 3G. Get it now!
ngmoco, Inc., We Rule – Free
Second – the absolutely wonderful and horribly addicting Space Miner: Space Ore Bust (TMA Review) has just received a massive graphics update for the 3GS and iPod Touch 3G, a whole new license level with a bunch of new equipment, new alien tech and even a new UltracORE mode difficulty (beat the game with only ONE life). In the original review, I gave it a firm Kiss; now with the additional content and improved visuals for the latest iDevices, Space Miner gets even better and is totally worth the $4.99.
Venan Entertainment, Inc., Space Miner: Space Ore Bust – $4.99
And finally the amazing open-world space exploration/trading/action/tactics that hit the AppStore after more than a year in development – Warpgate – has already received an update. Miscellaneous bugs are fixed and Freeverse have added the much requested interactivity to space combat with tilt controls for movement and final-resort diversion of weapons power to shields. I am going to review it later today, but even without the update it is one of the best games I ever played on the iPhone and the improved combat system just patched the only real cons I was going to note in the review. Go get it – you won't regret it! Or wait for my review
Freeverse, Inc., Warpgate – $4.99
You can find the official list of improvements after the gap.

Academic Misconduct
Academic misconduct
Academic misconduct is defined as any activity that tends to compromise the academic integrity of the College/University or subverts the educational process. Academic misconduct includes but is not limited to:
- cheating: copying the work of another student, receiving unauthorized assistance during an exam, submitting an assignment from one course for another course or other similar acts;
- plagiarism: the act of appropriating and using the ideas, writings, or work of another person as one's own without giving credit to the person who created the work;
- fabricating information: submitting falsified information as if it were genuine, providing false excuses as a means of gaining extensions or special circumstances for assignments;
- intentionally damaging the coursework of others; and;
- assisting others in acts of academic misconduct (e.g. giving exam questions or course materials to other students or agencies without the consent or knowledge of the instructor).
Academic misconduct vs. poor scholarship
Poor scholarship consists of an inadequate understanding of scholarly conventions of source citation or an inability to implement those conventions properly in documenting the sources used in one's work. Academic misconduct, particularly plagiarism, is characterized by intent to deceive, by gross verbatim use or limited alteration of another's work accompanied by explicit or implicit claims that the work is the student's own, and by a general disregard of institutional policies regarding academic honesty and misconduct.
Occasionally what initially appears to be an act of academic misconduct may turn out to be a case of poor scholarship on the part of a student, particularly in suspected cases of plagiarism. Insufficient citation of sources, inappropriate paraphrasing of sources, and wholesale reproduction of unacknowledged sentences and paragraphs, while serious offenses in the scholarly world, are among students often enough caused by a lack of understanding. In such circumstances instructors are advised to keep in mind that students at CSB/SJU are in a position of apprenticeship: they are learning the skills of scholarship under the tutelage of their instructors.
Acts of plagiarism that result from poor scholarship should be dealt with in a spirit of apprenticeship and treated as an opportunity for teaching rather than as an infraction that warrants censure. An appropriate penalty, therefore, is the same as for any other situation in which students fail to achieve the goals of a course: a reduced grade for the assignment in question and further instruction to remedy the deficiencies demonstrated by the student.
First year seminar (FYS) courses are the essential milieu for the presentation and discussion of academic misconduct and plagiarism. While FYS provides an essential first opportunity for discussion of academic misconduct, it should not be the only forum for discussion and learning. Ethics seminars and discipline-specific courses provide a better setting to introduce students to the discipline-specific principles and practices of academic honesty.
Cases of academic misconduct
It may be difficult to delineate intent, extent or motive in cases of academic misconduct. Because of the potential seriousness of these cases, which can potentially result in expulsion, it is important for instructors and students to consider the following:
- Has the student received instruction in the Institutions' academic misconduct policy and how academic misconduct, plagiarism and poor scholarship can be avoided?
- In the judgment of the instructor, was there intent to deceive?
- Does the incident in question represent a pattern of misconduct?
- In the judgment of the instructor, was the incident sufficiently egregious to warrant penalty?
The burden of proof rests with the instructor to demonstrate that one or more students have engaged in academic misconduct. If an instructor suspects academic misconduct, he or she must present compelling evidence of this misconduct.
I. General Procedure
A. An instructor suspecting a student of academic misconduct must meet with the student and present evidence of the specific offense
B. If the student agrees that the alleged act of academic misconduct has occurred, a penalty is determined and a written acknowledgment specifying the offense and the penalty is signed by the instructor, the student and a third party witness to guarantee that the student has been shown the agreement and read it (Link to Report of Academic Misconduct). The evidence of academic misconduct and the written acknowledgments are then placed in a closed file in the office of the Academic Dean.
C. If in spite of the evidence presented by the instructor the student maintains his or her innocence, the student may contact the Assistant Dean/Director of Academic Advising and request that an appeals process be initiated (see Appeals Process below). In such contested cases it is the responsibility of the student to provide detailed information demonstrating that the assignment in question is the product of his or her own work, or evidence refuting the allegations presented.
D. By refusing to view the evidence, or by refusing to acknowledge having viewed it, a student will not prevent imposition of the instructor's recommended penalty nor prevent the case from going into the closed file.
E. The penalty determined by the instructor (or by the Academic Dean in cases of a second or third offense) will stand unless and until the student is found innocent on appeal. If the student is found innocent on appeal the material will be removed from the closed file and destroyed.
F. A student accused of academic misconduct who maintains his/her innocence has the right to remain enrolled in the course while the appeal process is pending.
G. The closed file located in the Academic Dean's office will be destroyed two years after a student has graduated. In the cases of students who transfer to other institutions, or who for other reasons leave the College of St. Benedict or St. John's University without graduating, the closed file will be destroyed five years after the student's departure.
H. The proof of guilt in an earlier offense does not imply any assumption of guilt when a student is accused in a future case.
II. Consequences
Penalties for academic misconduct vary according to whether the case involves a first or a repeat offense, and according to the character of the offense itself. If the evidence of academic misconduct comes to light only after course grades have been turned in, the instructor may change the course grade retroactively.
First Offense
A. The penalty for a first offense of academic misconduct is failure of the course in which the academic misconduct occurred. This penalty may be reduced at the instructor's discretion.
B. The process of written acknowledgement and closed file described in section I will be implemented.
C. If a student commits two acts of academic misconduct nearly simultaneously it is at the academic dean's discretion whether they are regarded as one or two offenses
Second Offense
A. The instructor should follow the general procedure indicated above. Following this, the Academic Dean will be aware that this is not the student's first instance of academic misconduct, and because of the increased gravity of the situation, will consult with the instructor and other parties deemed necessary to learn as much as possible about this instance of misconduct. The student will fail the course in which the academic misconduct occurred.
B. The student may be suspended or expelled from the college. This decision will be made by the Academic Dean.
C. The process of written acknowledgment and closed file described in Section I will be implemented.
D. If a student commits two acts of academic misconduct nearly simultaneously it is at the Academic Dean's discretion whether they are regarded as one or two offenses.
Third Offense
A. The instructor should follow the general procedure indicated above. Following this, the Academic Dean will be aware that this is not the student's first instance of academic misconduct, and because of the increased gravity of the situation, will consult with the instructor and other parties deemed necessary to learn as much as possible about this instance of misconduct. The student will fail the class in which the academic misconduct occurred.
B. The student will be expelled from the college.
C. The steps of written acknowledgement and closed file described in Section I will be implemented
Appeals Process
A. The appeal process for academic misconduct is initiated by a student through a formal request made to the Assistant Dean/Director of Academic Advising.
B. The student is given an opportunity to provide detailed information related to the academic misconduct and disputing the evidence presented. The student may present any or all of the following:
- a prepared, written statement rebutting the evidence;
- material evidence that supports the claim that the work is the student's own and that documents the process by which the assignment in question was generated;
- the testimony of any others who may have been involved in the incident.
C. The Assistant Dean/Director of Academic Advising will review the materials and evidence presented by the student and request further clarification from instructor(s) and/or the student as needed and consult the Academic Dean as needed.
D. The Assistant Dean/Director of Academic Advising will notify the student and the instructor as to the outcome of the appeal. The decision of the Assistant Dean/Director of Academic Advising is final.

Janicab is here. In case you haven't heard, it is one of the latest Malware releases, one that targets both Mac OS & Windows OS.
Do a quick Google search about Janicab, you will see droves of websites talking about it, like Intego, F-Secure, Avast, Macrumors, and ArsTechnica, just to name a few.
In the arsenal of tools hackers use to launch attacks, this is just a taste of what is to come in the future of malware, viruses, and the like.
ONE virus, ONE malware that hammers any computer it touches.
As the Avast website confirms, Janicab is a "new polymorphic multisystem threat". Polymorphic means a virus that changes its virus signature each time it replicates, and infects a new file. It does this in order to keep from being detected by an antivirus program. A virus that changes itself from computer, to computer, to computer.
The point I would like to bring to your attention, is that there is no such thing as a totally safe, secure computer. Irrespective of what antivirus software you have on your computer, all of them will fail at some point or other.
Remember, every virus started out at one point as a ZERO DAY attack, one that has never been seen before, flying in under the radar, walking in right past your antivirus software, because no one knows about it yet. It is that Zero Day window before it is detected by the antivirus companies, that it does the most damage. This is why antivirus software needs to be updated at least once a day, sometimes more frequently, with the latest list of virus signatures.
I get a lot of comments and feedback saying I am an alarmist, and fear mongering. Maybe. I prefer to call it being fully aware. I shine a spotlight in the dark corners to show threats and vulnerabilities, and sometimes I have to dangle it in front of your nose to get your attention. This is what I do, because hackers don't, and won't stop.
People are over reliant on their antivirus software, it can only do so much, so quickly. As 2012 came to a close Kapersky Labs reported, they detected 200,000 new malicious programs every day. It is projected to get even worse.
That's some food for thought, especially for Apple folks.

NBA: Andre Drummond will miss 4-6 weeks with back injury
AUBURN HILLS -- The Pistons will be without rookie sensation Andre Drummond for four to six weeks after it was discovered in an MRI Thursday he has a stress fracture of the fifth lumbar vertebra.
Drummond, a Middletown native, suffered the injury during the Pistons loss to the Lakers on Feb. 3. Drummond attempted to play in games on Monday and Wednesday, but left both games early due to pain.
The injury does not require surgery and will get better with rest.
"He'll heal," Pistons team physician Ben Paolucci said. "He should have no residual, in other words, he's not going to have anything lasting."
Drummond has been fitted with a custom brace, which Paolucci doesn't expect him to wear for long.
"He's got some discomfort now," Paolucci said. "We've got a custom made brace for him. We've already fitted him for it. Once he gets asymptomatic, doesn't have any pain, we'll be able to start some exercising program."
The timetable for Drummond to return is four to six weeks, but Paolucci said it's uncertain when Drummond will be allowed to start any non-contact basketball activity.
"We don't know that," Paolucci said. "It's hard to tell that. I think realistically four weeks. You never know."
The MRI also discovered another possible injury, but Paolucci said it was minor.
"It looks like he may have had a minor injury on the other side, on the same disc," Paolucci said. "It doesn't change the treatment, doesn't change ... his recovery."
Drummond's injury is a serious blow to the Pistons. The 6-foot-11 rookie was averaging 7.3 points, 7.5 rebounds and 1.7 blocks in 19.7 minutes per game.
Drummond was scheduled to play in the BBVA Rising Stars Challenge at All-Star weekend, but will miss the event due to the injury.
Among rookies, Drummond was first in rebounds, second in blocks, fourth in steals (0.9 per game) and eighth in points.
Rookie Viacheslav Kravtsov will take Drummond's spot in the rotation.
"That's why you carry three centers, great opportunity for Slava," Pistons coach Lawrence Frank said. "He's put a lot of work in. He's been extremely professional. Also we'll need more from Greg (Monroe), more from (Jason Maxiell), more from Charlie (Villanueva), more from Jonas (Jerebko). That's the NBA. Next man up."
Dave Pemberton covers the Pistons for The Oakland Press, a sister publication to the Middletown Press.

I've never really talked much about life as an expat (and I won't really start now haha!), but having been one for nearly 8 years now I feel like I've almost forgotten what it's like to live back home in Australia. While we have no immediate plans to leave our adopted Singaporean life, inevitably we will end up making the trip back to Australia eventually, so I'm always on the look out for some uniquely Singapore souvenirs that I can take with me to remember my time here.
Finding these "souvenirs" can be a little tricky.. tacky trinkets and obvious tourist stuff is a definite no-go for me. I want well-designed, not-so-obvious, meaningful (to me) souvenirs. Things that offer a story or meaning below the surface. And even better if they're usable and don't just sit on a shelf. I know, I know.. I ask a lot of the things I buy!

But – as you can see, they do exist! And boy are they fantastic. These are not your average souvenirs, there's nothing tacky or garish here. Only beautifully designed pieces of Singapore, and I love it!
So, if you're in the market for your own keepsakes from the Little Red Dot, look no further than Super Mama and The Little Dröm Store. I really can't recommend them enough… whether you're a tourist, an expat or a local!

So perfect, right?! By coincidence I came across this quote today that I thought was a pretty great way to describe what it feels like to be an expat at times. Not always, but sometimes :)

Humidification is the process of introducing moisture into paper by placing the document inside an enclosed area with a water source. This is often done for tightly rolled documents such as large maps, posters, or large pictures. Water vapor enters the fibers of the document, allowing them to relax. Often the document may then be opened safely, after which it can be pressed and dried to keep it flat.
A conservator is a professional whose primary occupation is the practice of conservation and who, through specialized education, knowledge, training and experience, formulates and implements all the activities of conservation in accordance with an ethical code such as the American Institute for Conservation of Historic and Artistic Works (AIC) Code of Ethics and Guidelines for Practice.
Humidification is relatively safe, but there is always some risk when documents are exposed to water.
Items that should only be treated by professional conservators are:
- Rare and valuable documents.
- Non-paper documents such as parchment and vellum.
- Photographs.
- Documents that are heavily soiled.
- Documents that show previous mold growth
- Documents with water soluble inks or paints as they may smear or bleed into the paper.
For help finding a conservator, contact the American Institute for Conservation at 202-452-9545 or visit their website at www.conservation-us.org.
Moving on to the fun stuff! What supplies do I need to make a Humidification Chamber?
Supply list:
- Plastic container with a tight-fitting lid, they come in different sizes and shapes. Select one made of plastic with no ventilation holes. Remember to choose a container which works best for the documents you want to flatten. Examples below:
- 2-3 bath towels.
- Water pitcher.
- 4 freezer containers. You can find these at any grocery store, Walmart or Target for less than $4.00.
- Warm water.
- "Egg Crate" light panel. These are plastic grids with holes in them. The documents will rest on this panel so it should have a small grid, approximately ½", to give even support. The panel should be at least 3/8" thick, to prevent the document from touching the water filled containers beneath it. Cut the panel to fit on the lip of the container. You may need to cut the panel to fit in the container. Use caution when cutting because the plastic is brittle, and bits may fly about as it is cut. Wear protective eye gear when cutting the panel. Another option is asking hardware store staff to trim it for you.
- Blotting paper—purchase online at suppliers such as universityproducts.com or Gaylord.com.
- Paper for signage. Use this wording for the Sign: Humidification in Process.
Pre-humidification steps:
- Unfold or unroll the document before humidifying, if that can be done without damaging it.
- Remove staples and paper clips. Metal fasteners can rust in humid conditions.
Humidification procedure:
- Step 1—Fold towels and place at the bottom of the container.
- Step 2- Place 4 freezer containers of equal size on top of the towels
- Step3- Pour warm water into the freezer containers.
- Step4-Place egg crate panel on the lip of the container. It should fit snuggly, raised a few inches above the freezer containers to avoid their contact with document.
- Step 5- Cover the container and wait patiently for 4-8 hours. Check the progress of the document every 15-20 minutes. If you have to open the container, do not leave the lid off for long, or the humid air will escape, and this will prolong the humidification process.
- Step 6- Remove document from container, it will unroll on its own.
- Step 7- Lay the document flat on blotting paper. Make sure blotting paper covers top and bottom of the document you are drying. Use a book to provide even pressure while the document is drying. Leave on blotter paper for a minimum of 12 hours.
- Final step-Remove document from blotter stack. You are finished with humidifying your document.

Archive for the ' Betta Splendens ' Category
Things you will need
10 gallons planted tank, fully cycled.
Heater and filtration for the appropriate tank size
Temperature keep it at 80-82 F
Male and female bettas
Tank setup
Fill the tank with ¼ of play sand
Add water wisteria and oriental sword plant
Good chunk of java moss
Some people use Indian almond leaves to add tannic acid to the water to simulate the natural water where wild bettas lives. I never did bother with Almond leave or tea, they just love dense planted tank.
The reason I chose planted tank is because the abundant of infusia available for the fry when they are in free swimming stage.
Conditioning the pair for two weeks, feed them chopped up shrimp meat and chopped up chicken breast. Once they know there is a constant supply of food, breeding will come naturally.
I usually left the male in the 10 gallons planted tank and start to condition him in there. I cut a triangle Styrofoam piece and mount it on the same side as the filter but opposite end. The purpose of that Styrofoam is to keep the moisture around the bubble nest so that it doesn't pop and make too much work for the male to up keep the nest.
Adding the female betta to the spawn tank
After conditioning the pair for two weeks you can introduce the female into the tank, I usually lure the female with food into my palm and scoop her up and put into the male tank, opposite to where the male situated. Observe carefully how the female response, if she showing dark vertical stripes she is ready for spawn and if she is showing light horizontal stripes she is stressed out and is not ready for spawning, in that case get her out of the tank and try again in a few days. From personal experience if I provide a shade corner with lot of vegetation the male start to blow bubble nest even before seeing any female betta.
The male and female betta will embrace anywhere from 10 minutes to 2 hours depends on how much eggs the female carried.
If everything went according to plan, after the female lay all the eggs the male will chase her away if she come near the nest, it is a good time to scoop her out to a recovery tank and feed her well.
This is the part where the Styrofoam triangle come into aid the male. Many people experience male betta eating eggs because they get frustrated by the bubbles bursting and eggs keep sinking to the bottom. The bubbles are quite durable but will burst if exposed to dry air (Canadian winter really sucks for that) Since I don't have any problem with bubble bursting and egg sinking I can turn off the light at night as I normally would, this will be less stress for the father and he will less likely to eat the fry when they hatch.
Newly hatched fry
The eggs will hatch within 48 hours, once hatched they will swim vertically and will be feeding exclusively on their yolk sack. Father will be keeping his eyes closing on fries that sink to the bottom of the tank and rescue them and blow them back in the bubble nest.
Free swimming fry
About 48 hours after the fries hatched, they will starts to swim horizontally and should be searching for food as their yolk sack has been consumed completely. They will quickly make good use of the infusia in the tank.
You can now start to feed them with egg yolk twice daily, using toothpick and get a tiny amount and dip it where the fries are at and stir up the water a little with the toothpick to spread the yolk fine particles.
Continue feeding them egg yolk for the next 2 weeks. Continue to monitor water condition, don't overfeed them or the water will go foul really quickly.
2nd week after hatching
You can now start to mix baby brine shrimp with eggs yolk and use an empty eye dropper to squirts the food around the tank where needed. I still feed egg yolk because not all fries will grow at the same rate, there will be some grunts that needs the fine particle of yolk.
3rd week after hatching
I start to introduce them to brine shrimp and grinded up flake food in the mix.
4th week and so on
Flake food, occasionally chopped shrimp meat and chopped chicken breast.
Hi everyone!

John Madden reminisced about great coaching Monday as he cruised east on Interstate 80 through Nebraska's flat lands, happily making his annual pilgrimage to the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio.
Madden wasn't raving about his Hall of Fame career. Instead, he regaled Jim Harbaugh's success with the 49ers.
"He's doing a great job," Madden told me in a phone interview. "He's done one of the great coaching jobs ever, especially with that first year and the (labor) lockout and how he couldn't work with the players and they went all the way to the (NFC) Championship.
"Great coaching job."
Harbaugh is the first coach in NFL history to reach the conference-championship game in each of his first three seasons.
As Harbaugh searches for his first Super Bowl win – and the 49ers' first in 20 years – Madden doesn't think Harbaugh should make radical changes, or, for that matter, any changes at all.
Enshrined in 2007 into the Pro Football Hall of Fame, Madden knows what it's like to flirt with Super Bowl contention. His teams were denied again and again and again … until his 1976 Raiders broke through and won the Lombardi Trophy.
That title came in Madden's eighth season. His Raiders were stopped within one win of a Super Bowl berth in five of his first seven seasons, including three straight AFC Championship defeats from 1973-75. (That 1973 season marked the start of punter Ray Guy's career, which has earned him enshrinement this weekend into the Pro Football Hall of Fame; Madden is his presenter.)
So did Madden offer his counsel to Harbaugh this offseason?
"Hell no," Madden said. "He's done a lot of good things and won a lot of big games. The last thing he needs is counseling on that.
"The answer is you don't do anything. People get close and try to do something. They panic and screw everything up."
The 49ers have kept most of their corps intact under Harbaugh's reign, and Madden is a firm support of the "great" Colin Kaepernick. This season's changes will include two new starters in the secondary, an injury fill-in for NaVorro Bowman into November, a deeper receiving unit and a new center, who could be lined up to a different right guard if Alex Boone's contract holdout isn't resolved.
The 49ers' near misses since 2011 shouldn't diminish their postseason runs, implored Madden, who retired from broadcasting in 2009 and works for the NFL as an advisor to commissioner Roger Goodell and a coaches' subcommittee chairman.
"Sometimes you can be one of the best, but you don't accept that if you don't get the ring or win the Super Bowl," Madden said. "There's a lot of good teams between the Super Bowl winner and other teams. Once the Super Bowl is over, we lump everyone into the other 31, and that's not fair."
Madden didn't predict Harbaugh's coaching prowess, not as he watched Harbaugh play 15 years as a "tough guy" quarterback nor when he got his NFL coaching start as a Raiders assistant in 2002-03.
"He'd always talk to me about his brother John, how he's a good coach and people need to recognize that and give him a chance to be a head coach," Madded said. "He would talk up how John should get the opportunity, instead of himself. He was right on John. He wanted me to give him more play."
Madden is happy to give Jim Harbaugh the play he feels he deserves after three seasons as 49ers coach. It sure can makes the drive fly by faster from Madden's Pleasanton home to his bronze bust's resting place inside Canton's hallowed Hall.

- Save some data for the Q-and-A: You don't need to share every single fact in a speech or presentation.You'll look even smarter if you save some to reveal in response to questions. Do some thinking ahead of time about the questions you get most often, natural questions that might arise from your conclusion, and questions this specific audience might ask--then prepare to answer them after, not during, your formal presentation.
- Flip the order for later data: If you're a scientist or engineer (or just have a lot of detail to put across), your default impulse will be to put all the background explanations, detail and data first, then get to your conclusion, result or decision-making issue. Instead, flip the order to put the data later, not first. Start with the bottom line, and use data to support that, instead of the other way around. Public audiences and business decision-makers want the results first, before the detail.
- Keep your data off your slides: If you put all your data on slides because you can't recall it all, just remember that if you can't remember it, neither can your audience. (And using your slides as your notes just doesn't work, for you or your audience.) Max Atkinson uses Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg's TED talk to point out that you can have a business-data-driven presentation without slides.
- Even with a fun analogy, don't make the numbers too big to grasp: The Wall Street Journal's "numbers guy," Carl Bialik, writes here about using analogies to describe very large numbers. He's collected some bizarre examples, like the website that figured every American adult could buy two pairs of Manolo Blahnik pumps for the cost of the war in Iraq. A better approach would be to skip the big numbers (in terms of how many bills would reach the moon, something hard to picture) and go with a smaller number, like the cost per taxpayer. Check out Bialik's blog post on this column, which includes links to all sorts of sites that help us visualize numbers and dollars.
- Use a three-step response if you explain too much when answering a question: If you over-explain in response to a question, an issue for many women, try the three-step response: Pause. Answer. Stop. Think about why you're over-explaining and come up with a briefer approach. You should aim for a back-and-forth with your audience, not a lecture...and if you explain too much, you might be making too many assumptions about what's wanted. Not sure what the question's really about? Ask your questioner a question to narrow down the scope of your response: "Are you referring to the results or the overall approach we took?"

"Others have written about the relationship between time and medical care with similar eloquence and urgency, but the centuries of perspective that Dr. Sweet brings infuse the point with unforgettable clarity. Sick people need time, she demonstrates repeatedly, and their doctors do, too." –A Hospital That Gave Its Patients Time to Heal
The Center for Medical Humanities & Ethics and the Libraries of the University of Texas Health Science Center San Antonio have chosen God's Hotel: A Doctor, a Hospital, and a Pilgrimage to the Heart of Medicine by Victoria Sweet as a 2016 One Community/One Book selection.
Victoria Sweet, MD, PhD is an Associate Clinical Professor of Medicine at the University of California, San Francisco School of Medicine. Following her BS in Mathematics from Stanford University and her MD from the University of California, Irvine School of Medicine, Dr. Sweet earned an MA and a PhD in the History of the Health Sciences from the University of California, San Francisco. Her research focused on the 12th-century German abbess, composer, theologian, visionary, and medical practitioner Hildegard von Bingen.
In God's Hotel: A Doctor, a Hospital, and a Pilgrimage to the Heart of Medicine, the author weaves stories of her experiences caring for patients at Laguna Honda Hospital in San Francisco, the last almshouse in the country, with her studies of medieval medicine. In the process, Dr. Sweet comes to appreciate the importance of slow medicine and the efficiency of inefficiency.

Today wasn't the best end to the week and I'm still trying to buy some time and hang onto Sunday, very reluctant to let it go. I read an entry about me on an old friend's blog… Seriously buddy?? Right now, I imagine myself as an executioner laying out some bone-crushingly brutal style torture.
I don't get men! If I don't like them it means something's wrong with me? Face it! We were just friends and if I didn't go out with you it's not because I thought you were nuts (although that would work as a good reason) but it was because you were like a… FRIEND!!
Bollocks! I didn't want to get personal on my blog…
A month ago on Facebook, I was looking through some of the events featured for the month and noticed that 'Dream Theatre' was playing the next day in Canada.
Head- bouncingly cool!! I can just imagine their over-the-top show that turned the crowd into an ocean of hopping, moshing, sweaty bodies! Just for kicks I ticked 'attending event'.
As I write this, I hear him singing to me…'She's got shadows in her shoebox…..' and now, he takes off …saying something that doesn't quite make sense but it flows seamlessly with the melody. The pace of the song quickens and you can hear his breaths, his voice getting raspier and he takes you into a spiraling world and as this was wonderfully built, it wonderfully dissipates. You're left wondering whether the experience was real and when the silence is heard you're ready to replay the song, hoping you'd feel the same way again… surprisingly You Still Do!!!!
An amazing stranger stopped by and read my blog- thank you! I never thought this page would be read by anyone really. Here's to fast friends and musical allies.

Buying Time!
Today wasn't the best end to the week and I'm still trying to buy some time and hang onto Sunday, very reluctant to let it go. I read an entry about me on an old friend's blog… Seriously buddy?? Right now, I imagine myself as an executioner laying out some bone-crushingly brutal style torture.

A Local Band and A Fan
The radio and the internet get a mention because up until middle school or so I thought music consisted of acts like – Michael Jackson, New Kids on The Block, Prince and Journey (which was mostly for sentimental reasons). Now I've turned on my mind's musical side and I realize there are hundreds of them! From Matchbox Twenty, Lifehouse, Third Eye Blind, Goo Goo Dolls, Vertical Horizon to Taking Back Sunday, Counting Crows, Coldplay, Tori Amos... and this is just Alternative.
I haven't discovered a new artist to write about this week. Training for a new process at work is over. I barely made it through the first week and i cant believe the weekend's almost over. Last night I remembered this local show that took place about 3 yrs ago and I decided to write about it before my memory fails me. It was during my first year in M.A. My friend's boyfriend asked me to come and hear him play at a coffee shop. I had seen local bands play in B'lore and I had never gotten the whole Spazobilly punk rock mayhem thing and that day it rained quite monstrously. I wanted to give up going to the concert altogether but I decided to go for it anyways because anything was better than staying at home.
Tony Das, was the friend who invited me. At the time he was playing for Thermal and a Quarter and he was also part of the three member band- Golden Boy, who performed that night. The other two were his older brother, Chris and his little sister, Judy. As a family they've been together cultivating their sound for so many years and what took place that night was real music - unplugged, acoustic, at its best!
Judy sang Bonnie Rait's 'I Can't Make You Love Me'. Her voice was intimate and sultry and that reflected her artistic and personal life. Chris sang the very famous, Maroon 5 'This Love' and Vertical Horizon's 'Everything You Want'- these were my favorites at the time and if anyone had sung them and screwed them up I would've probably had some seething comment ready. But Chris exerted a powerful creative presence that night with his acoustic rendition of the two songs. Tony Das, (now the guitarist of Karma6) a multi-talented guitar player - If you haven't watched this boy play, hold on to your space suits kids!
The trio's music is not en vogue in a sense. They sing the kind of songs that you would listen to on those wintery days. Always catchy and always thoughtful. These folks exude a strange sort of confidence that makes you feel like throwing your hands up and loving.
The Miracle of '08- after a long break, the Das' performed again at the Opus. By this time I had gotten to know them pretty well and this was the local act that I had wanted to see perform. Some of the songs sang by the group were from the 80's.. It made the night seem sunny and hopeful and took you out of a world of dead end jobs, phonies, sycophants, making up and breaking up.
Judy sang Sara Bareilles and Jewel. Chris sang tracks by Del Amitri and Winger, with a special dedication to their biggest fans- their mum, Tony's girl- Runa and then the unique devotee- ME!
Don't know if these guys will ever play again together, but if they do… I'm there. You should join me too. Long live Alternative Rock!

'"Tropomyosin-receptor-Kinase (Trk)"'
The tropomyosin-receptor kinase (trk) belongs to the family of tyrosine-protein kinase receptors (TK), which was discovered as a proto-oncogene that consisted of seven exons of 'non-muscle tropomyosin' gene fused to the cytoplasmic domains of a novel 'tyrosine-kinase' gene. Trks are commonly associated with cell survival, proliferation, neurite growth including axons & dendrites as well as regulatory function of ion channels and neurotransmitter receptors in immature neural cells. In addition, binding of ligands to trks can affect growth, plasticity and synaptic strength of neuronal junctions in the adult nervous system (ref), although it is notable that Ligand binding does not itself illicit an action potential event. Three trk genes have been identified in mammals: trkA (proto-oncogene), which serves as an NGF receptor, trkB and trkC, that each was subsequently identified due to their high homology to trkA(ref).
--Hamid/Arash Araghi 08:39, 14 May 2009 (EST)
- Trk receptors are made of an extracellular segment that binds polypeptide ligands, transmembrane helix, and cytoplasmic segment where the tyrosine kinase catalytic activity takes place.
- The extracellular segment of the Trk receptors has various range of distinct globular domains. They include immunoglobulin-like domains, fibronectin type III-like domains, cysteine rich domains, and epidermal growth factor-like domains.
Seven subfamilies of receptor tyrosine kinases
Each of the seven subfamilies are distinct in their own ways. Please see discussion. Include the above under this heading or make a new heading for it.
--Serkan Erkan 17:12, 2 May 2009 (EST)
- TrK receptors act as dimeric transmembrane proteins. Distally, three cysteine-rich motiffs and two Leucine rich regions form a conserved NGF binding region which is common to all TrK's near the amino terminus(in addition, TrkA is possesed of an additional NGF binding region, see TrK A).
- Additionally, the common binding region is flanked by a pair of extracellular immunoglobulin-like domains located proximally to the cell membrane. The juxtamembrane complex contains a variable amino acid sequence suggested to determine ligand bindng affinity and specificity and may bind directly to some ligands; The localization of these peptides appears to be non-specific in tertiary NGF-TrKA complex structures however their conformation within this complex appears to indicate direct participation in complex binding.
- Further NGF binding site affinity is generated through collaboration with the p75 protein/neurotrophin receptor (p75NTR). Furthermore, p75NTR regulates NT-3-TrkA and NT-4/5-TrkB mediated receptor activation by blocking Neurotropin ligation by circumnavigating the prequisite of these neurotropins for receptor activation.
***Tyrosine receptor kinases*** play an important role in number of fundamental cellular processes such as cell migration, cell cycle, cell metabolism and survival as well as cell proliferation and differentiation. The activation of the tyrosine receptor kinases requires two processes: enhancement of intrinsic catalytic activity and creation of binding sites to recruit downstream signaling proteins. They are both achieved by the autophosphorylation of the tyrosine residues, a consequence of ligand-mediated oligomerisation. Upon their activation, tyrosine receptor kinases transduce extracellular signals to cytoplasm by autophosphorylation of the tyrosine residues on the receptors themselves and downstream signaling proteins within the cells. --Serkan Erkan 16:45, 2 May 2009 (EST)
Maintenance and Proliferation of undifferentiated Cell Lines
Dynamic Process
NGF binding to ligation region facilitates dimerisation of Trk Receptor monomers into the signal tranductive unit- activating the kinase unit. Phosphorylation of the autoregulatory loop tyrosines of the cytoplasmic domain further activates the kinase. Phosphorylation of an additional seven tyrosines within this region promotes signalling by providing docking sides for adaptor proteins which regulate signalling-cascade couples.
Mechanism of Trk Activation via multiple Signalling pathways
Tropomyosine receptor kinases (Trk) enhance neuronal cell growth and differentiation of neurites via the activation of various signalling pathways. PKC, PLCy1, Ras/MAPK and PI3 are the four well known pathways, which exhibit this activity. The latter process involves the activation of transcription factors that will bind onto a specific target gene, thus trigerring neuronal cell division and/ differentiation via production of specific proteins that inhibit apoptosis.
PKC Pathway

Ras-MAPK (mitogen-activated protein kinase) Pathway
Activation of Ras-MAPK signalling pathway is predominantly essential for promoting neuronal cell growth and differentiation. Several pathways derive from Trk receptors for activation of Ras molecules, which begin by formation of ligand-bound mitogen (BDNF or NGF) at an extracellular domain of the trk, causing receptor dimerization. This subsequently will lead to phosphorylation of the intracellular parts of the receptors, which activates Guanine Exchange factors (GEFs), such as sos, Grb2 and Shc. GEFs trigger the exchange of GDP bound to inactive Ras to GTP, resulting Ras to activate. The presence of activated Ras molecules, stimulate signaling via a major downstream pathway known as MAP kinase (mitogen-activated protein kinase)-although activated Ras, would be also capable of triggering several other downstream pathways such as PLC-y1 and PI3-kinases. (Figure..awaiting for copyright approval..)
Mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway involves a series of signalling cascade. Raf is the first component of MAPK, activated by Ras-GTP on the plasma membrane. Raf then phosphorylates MEK1/2,which in turn activates the ERK1/2 by phosphorylation. ERK1/2 kinase would further phosphorylate a variety of downstream targets. These pathways may include phosphorylation of MAP 2-kinase by MAP 3-kinase on its serine and threonine amino-acid residues. Further phosphorylation of MAP- kinase by MAP 2-kinase on its serine and tyrosine amino-acid residues subsequently yields activated MAP-kinase. This results in activation of transcription factors that will lead to changes in gene expression. (Click here for well illustration of MAP-kinase pathway on You-tube) Nonetheless, aberrant Ras-MAPK signaling has been identified to be a possible factor responsible for the uncontrolled proliferation and malignancy (See "Cancer Biotherapy", current research).

Current Research
Cancer biotherapy via targeting 'Ras / Ras-MAP-kinase' signalling pathway
Recent studies have hypothesized that receptors responsible for Ras activation would be effective target for treating human cancers (ref). Based on this hypothesis, since 1995, therapies utilizing the inhibition of Ras activation have aroused a major interest. Farnesylation is a process by which small G-proteins like Ras are activated and adhered to the cell membrane. In a recent paper (Sebti & Hamilton 2000), farnesyl transferase inhibitors were used in order to block the farnesylation of Ras proteins. The results revealed promising hopes in animal models but unfortunately have not been effective in human cancer treatment. The major downstream target of Ras-MAP-Kinase (MAPK) has also been taken as a subject for drug design. Sebolt and his colleagues showed that MAPK-inhibitors are effective in cancer therapy using mouse models (ref). It has been also suggested that Inhibition of the Ras-MAPK signaling pathway can serve as a potential therapy for NF1 in humans (ref).
Trk receptors can behave as signalling endosomes
In a recent publication, a hypothesized model was explained in which active Trk receptors are internalised into signaling endosomes during signalling transduction process (ref). The experiment that led to this understanding involved local application of NGF to axons and soma (cell bodies) of neuronal cells. It was shown that both ERK1/2 and ERK5 signaling cascades were activated. Surprisingly, application of NGF to neuronal cells at distance resulted only in activation of ERK5 pathway and NOT ERK1/2. It was then understood that activation of ERK5 in the cells somas required receptor internalisation due to inhibition by thermo-sensitive dynamin. Further investigation was conducted by local application of specific Trk-inhibitor (K252a) at either the distal axon or cell body, which blockaded the activation of ERK5 in the cell soma in the presence of NGF. Therefore, the hypothesized model in which active Trk receptors are internalised into signalling endosomes is inevitable. Nonetheless, the mechanism through which distance affects the specificity of signalling would be the future topic of investigation.

Body dysmorphia isn't just fodder for tabloid covers
Plenty of celebrities have gone on dramatic diets or repeatedly undergone plastic surgery thinking that each would get them one step closer to body perfection. Heidi Montag from "The Hills" underwent a nose job, breast augmentation, liposuction, buttock augmentation, Botox injections and fat injections in her face. Pop superstar Michael Jackson underwent extensive surgery on his face, including narrowing his nose and creating a cleft chin.
Both are considered classic cases of body dysmorphic disorder, a fairly new and controversial ailment that may be underdiagnosed. The disorder often is described as a mental illness that causes someone to intensely obsess over his or her appearance and may lead to numerous cosmetic procedures that never leave the person satisfied.
Studies have shown that only 1 percent to 2 percent of the world's population meets the diagnostic criteria for body dysmorphic disorder, but four studies by the National Institutes of Health showed that a diagnosis was missed by a clinician in every case in which it was present.
Dr. Peter Ly, a psychiatrist in private practice, and Dr. Joyce Davidson, a psychiatrist at the Menninger Clinic and an assistant professor of psychiatry and behavioral sciences at Baylor College of Medicine, recently talked about the topic.
Q: We all have that friend who is constantly complaining about his or her body. How do you know when they're just being human and when they have this disorder?
Ly: Individuals with body dysmorphic disorder tend to obsess that there is something wrong about the way they look. They may think they look ugly or deformed when, in actuality, they look normal. These individuals may constantly check their image, consult doctors or seek reassurance from their friends. As a result of these irrational concerns about their appearance, they experience significant distress or impairments in their social, occupational or other important areas of functioning. They may stop working and start to isolate from society.
Q: What causes this?
Ly: Although research on the neurobiology of [body dysmorphic disorder] is ongoing, the fact that selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors often help to improve the symptoms of body dysmorphic disorder is a strong suggestion there is a biological basis for the disorder.
There are clinical cases of body dysmorphic disorder in many different countries. The disorder seems to be similar in many different cultures as well, but there may be variations. Societal pressures can definitely increase stress which can lead to worsening of symptoms of [the disorder].
Q: How closely is body dysmorphic disorder linked to obsessive-compulsive disorder or social phobias?
Davidson: In the new Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, [body dysmorphic disorder] is now grouped with [obsessive-compulsive disorder] and related disorders. It is similar to [obsessive-compulsive disorder] because someone with [body dysmorphic disorder] has obsessions about one's appearance and then compulsions related to that anxiety. In social phobia, the person is usually concerned about saying or doing something that would embarrass them.
Q: Do people with body dysmorphic disorder generally obsess about their weight, or is it more common to focus on certain facial features or other body flaws?
Davidson: [The disorder] is closely related to anorexia nervosa, but preoccupations with one's weight that are pathological are usually diagnosed as an eating disorder instead of [body dysmorphic disorder]. [Body dysmorphic disorder] preoccupations are most commonly about your nose, skin, eyes, arms, etc.
Q: If weight is the focus, how do you determine if someone has body dysmorphic disorder or if they're actually overweight?
Ly: Ideal body weight, adjusted body weight and body mass index calculators are a good place to start. If an individual is below 80 percent of their ideal body weight, this is a medical emergency and needs to be treated.
Q: How would you treat a patient with this?
Ly: Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors are the first-line treatment for body dysmorphic disorder. However, it may take six to 12 weeks to notice improvement. Cognitive behavioral therapy is also recommended. Often, the combination of medication and therapy is much better.
Q: Are there any books you would recommend on the topic?
Ly: "The Broken Mirror: Understanding and Treating Body Dysmorphic Disorder," by Katharine A. Phillips; "The BDD Workbook: Overcome Dysmorphic Disorder and End Body Image Obsessions," by James Claiborn and Cherlene Pedrick; and "Feeling Good About the Way You Look," by Sabine Wilhelm.
Q: What advice would you give someone who fears he or she may have body dysmorphic disorder?
Davidson: I would suggest they read further about the disorder, and if these concerns are significantly affecting their life, they should seek out a therapist who can help.
