Hi all,
I'm currently the de facto IT manager for a small IT services firm. The nature of our business requires that we follow PCI standards as per
logical security. Here's the thing, the CISO is leaving next month, and I've been told I'll be taking his position. I already
have a lot of exposure to info sec, I have a CCNP (the former version with ISCW) and a I'm an MCP (Active Directory for WS 2008). What I
need to know is what cert I should go out there and get to make me more cemented in this new CISO role, at least to keep the auditors happy, as
they sometimes like to question your competence. The outgoing CISO, even though he was trained by some of our partners, had NO certs, and this
exposed him to uncomfy questions from hard nosed auditors. Security+ or CISSP exam? Or any others? Any form of guiding light will be highly

It was common knowledge that prior to the Olympic Trials in December our team had agreed that if we didn't win the 2009 Trials we were going our separate ways at the end of the season.
Welcome to the first (of many) blogs I will be doing exclusively for the Curling.ca website for the next year. Why a blog? Seems that after you win a silver medal, people are interested. They want to get "between the sheets" and find out the details – what we do and why we do it! So enjoy!

It goes like this: Brothers. Identical twins. They could just as easily be sisters, but I'm a boy so I'll make them boys. One of the brothers gets on a rocket ship and flies into space, accelerating to nearly the speed of light (designated 'c') for a journey to a nearby star. The other stays behind on Earth. A few years later our space-fairing traveler returns to his terrestrial home to share his experiences. Except he find's his brother is now an old man, having aged many more years than he during the same time.
We've all heard of this. It is an inevitable consequence of Einstein's Special Relativity. And quite a surprising outcome at that. It is called Relativistic Time Dilation and is a real effect. Given two frames of reference (a boring physics term that just means point-of-view), if one of them is accelerated, time will slow down in the accelerated frame relative to the frame that stayed put. That all-important word there 'relative' is where the theory gets it's cryptic name.
But time dilation is real. It has been measured. Clocks aboard GPS satellites run slower than clocks on Earth. If we didn't account for this our Tom-Tom would put us miles off. High speed muons and neutrons take longer to decay than stationary ones. Things get heavier too, as one approaches c. Ultimately, they get infinitely heavy, which makes it impossible to get that last little push, since it would require infinite energy. Equally strange, matter gets compressed in the direction of motion. A yard stick, dully accelerated, will become shorter and shorter as it approaches c. These effects are minuscule, even unmeasurable for everyday speeds, but as one approaches c, they become overwhelming. Except for anyone traveling in the accelerated frame none of this happens. Everything seems perfectly normal.
So what does this have to do with writing? How does Einstein's 1905 theory impact my literary pursuits? Aside from the fact that Special Relativity is often used in science fiction, and sounds a lot like science fiction, there is another surprising, at least to me, connection. I will use one of Einstein's techniques to explain. He called it a gedankenexperiment – a thought experiment.
Suppose I am a twin. One of me sits down at a desk to write a computer program that calculates the intersection between two orbiting bodies. The other 'me' sits down across from him in the same room and begins writing a book. At the end of the day the engineer is worn out and exhausted, having felt every minute pass as if it were cold water dripping on his neck. The writer however is energized and engaged, his mind alert and active, and indeed surprised that the day is over. For him, time seems not to have passed at all: Literistic Time Dilation! And let me tell you, this is a real effect. And not only that, given years of this, the right-brained writer will age far more slowly than his left-brain-trapped counterpart.
It is also a powerful validation that I am doing what I am supposed to be doing. Most of us writers do this for a long time before achieving measurable success. Over 11 years on average before getting published. It's easy to question ourselves "Is all this time invested worth it?" Or, "How do I know I'm doing the right thing?"
Well, if you are experiencing literistic time dilation you are doing the right thing. It isn't just about getting published and getting paid. Yes, we all want that. But life is also about finding contentment and a sense of purpose. In fact, material success without these things is not of much benefit if it makes you age more quickly.
Perhaps it all just comes down to the old adage, "Time flies when you're having fun." No doubt this is true but I like to think there's more to it. A transcendental connection between creation and existence. Between finding what you are meant to do, and doing it. Something intangible and immeasurable that takes us out of this temporal world in which we're confined, and, if only for brief periods, accelerates us to the speed of light.

Dear Glutino,
When I was first diagnosed as gluten intollerant I wasn't sure what to do, and started trying any product that I could get my hands on that said 'gluten free' on the packaging. Some were good, some were bad, and some were worse than cardboard. I will admit that until recently if…
I feel like I want to liveblog Chloe watching Glee with absolutely no context…..
Taco Bake!
So every now and then (more than not actually) I have a craving for Chinese style chicken balls and sweet and sour sauce. Its one of the things I miss most since going gluten free almost a year ago. A while ago when my dad was sitting in front of me eating his Chinese food, I decided that there MUST be a recipe out there for Gluten Free! I came across this site called The Baking Beauties and after searching through, I found their recipe for chicken balls huzzah! I made them for the first time about a month ago, and then again today with a few modifications to ingredients, so now I'm ready to share with you guys!
- 1 Bob's Red Mill Gluten Free All Purpose flour
- 1 cup cornstarch
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp sugar
- 1 1/3 cups cold water
- oil (for frying)
- 2 lbs boneless chicken breasts, cut into chunks (you should get about 3-4 dozen pieces. Or if your grocery store is random like mine 'stewing' chicken pieces will do)
- In a bowl combine rice flour mix, cornstarch, baking powder, baking soda, sugar and water until smooth.
- Heat oil in a deep-fryer or Dutch oven to 375 degrees.
- Dip the chicken pieces into the batter, then drop in hot oil and fry until golden and the juices run clear (about 5 minutes).
- Remove to a paper towel.
Sweet and Sour Sauce
- 1/2 cup ketchup
- 1/2 teaspoon gluten-free soy sauce
- 1/3 cup white vinegar (for a sweeter sauce reduce to 1/4 cup)
- 3/4 cup water
- 1 1/4 cups white sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1/4 cup cold water
- In a saucepan combine the first 6 ingredients; bring to a boil whisking constantly.
- Reduce heat to medium-low and continue to simmer stirring for 2 minutes.
- In a small bowl or cup dissolve the cornstarch in 1/4 cup cold water until smooth, then add to the simmering sauce stirring constantly.
- Cook stirring until bubbly and thickened (about 3 minutes, the sauce will thicken as it simmers).
- Cool to room temperature then chill.
- Remove from heat; set aside to cool.
If you don't want to make your own Sweet and Sour sauce there are some out there that are gluten free, like anything you simply just have to look for it :)
Old recipe is old but I need to reblog so I can remember it this week while I attempt to make it for my new roommates.
Tonight's dinner for me and my roommates!!

One Grain More - A Gluten-Free Parody
This is a GPOY of my family and this shall now be sung by all household members.
LOL I can't, I enjoy this so much but FLAWED!!! (Corn Flake crumbs are not Gluten Free, they have malt on them from barley don't listen to them IT'S A TRAP!!!)
Sorry about the bad photos it was midnight and I was trying to get these prepped so I could head to bed. I call this…the Bacon Bomb!! (I may have blogged about it before I can't remember…regardless it is amazing!)
You start off by mixing up your regular meat loaf, ground meat of choice, eggs, salt and pepper, garlic, onions, gluten free bread crumbs, and ketchup. I like to add in a few extras, like cheese and parsley because I can :). Once it's all mixed up set it aside.
Take your bacon, for a regular meat loaf it takes about 1lb of bacon, these suckers are a pound and a half but then again I am getting ready to feed 15 people. Laying your bacon out in strips start weaving it like a basket.
Once your weave is done and you've run out of bacon, drop the meatloaf mix onto it, forming it into a roll shape as you go. Spread a bit more ketchup on top, and then roll the meatloaf (sort of like a yule log) until you've rolled from one side of the bacon weave to the other trapping the meatloaf inside.
Then just pop it in the oven, 1 hour at 350F (175C) and you have yourself a bacon bomb!!
Enjoy! AND HAPPY NEW YEAR!!
For those of you who are vegan, I apologize. For those of you who aren't certain they're coming to the Apple Party this weekend, here's some bribery
BACON BOMB!! (currently filled with 2lbs of bacon, 2lbs of ground beef, onions, and other yummy stuff, rolled and will be cooked like meatloaf served with mashed potatoes)
I promise we will save you some Jackie :D
Small Edit: since for some reason Tumblr decided I was reblogging this on my food blog (what a coincidence!) This is merely step ONE of tonights dinner. It is in fact Gluten friendly though not vegan (though like everything there IS substitutions with tofubacon and the ground meat replacement…I haven't tried it but I will eventually)
I'll post more pictures and the recipe later :)
Happy Early Thanksgiving you guys!! (wow I'm on a roll here 3 recipes in a month!!) Turkey just needs stuffing so here's the recipe I've used the last few years.
Serves six to eight people, depending on their appetite for stuffing.

The Soap Scene
PROMOTIONS AND ARRIVALS AT "NASHVILLE": Sisters Lennon and Maisy Stella, who portray the daughters of Rayna and Teddy on "Nashville," have been promoted to series regulars for season two. As the first season progressed, the sisters' singing talents became increasingly prominent, while their dramatic storylines were also expanding, making it hard to believe that "Nashville" was their acting debut. Also upgraded is Chris Carmack, who joined midseason as Will, an aspiring singer with a complicated personal life. "Nashville's" most recent signing is newcomer Chaley Rae as Zoey, Scarlett's childhood friend, who desires a country music career.
After waiting for almost six months for a decision, the critically acclaimed ABC Family Channel series "Bunheads," has been officially canceled.
Someone important may be arriving in Salem later this year. "Days of our Lives" has been seeking a middle-aged, attractive and charismatic man who has a son, and, of course, secrets about their past. The contract role is expected to start shooting this month.
Former "Days" actors Molly Burnett (ex-Melanie) and Charles Shaughnessy (ex-Shane), along with Travis Schuldt, who played Ethan on "Passions," star in a film called "This Magic Moment" on the Hallmark Channel on Saturday, Aug. 17.

Wine Time
Three classic stops make for an ideal day in Napa
Any time of year, California's Napa Valley is beautiful and full of wine-tasting experiences. Yet come autumn, the region becomes a flurry of grape-harvesting activity, making it an exciting, and popular, time to visit.
Hundreds of wineries large and small span out from Highway 29, from the city of Napa through Yountville, Oakville, Rutherford and St. Helena on the way up to Calistoga. Combined, these three very different wineries add up to a full day of soaking up the tastes, sights and flavor of Napa Valley.
Taste of Tradition
For a thorough—and thoroughly enjoyable—introduction to winemaking in the valley, visit the Robert Mondavi Winery in Oakville. Built in the style of California's missions, this was one of the first in the valley to open for tours and tastings. A comprehensive tour costs $25 and lasts seventy-five minutes. A guide begins by explaining the Mondavi history, then leads visitors on a tour of the winemaking process, pausing to talk about grapes, crushing, fermenting, barrel aging and more. Then it's time for tasting! At a table, the group sits down and the guide pours samples of three wines, taking time to explain the qualities of each and answer questions. Afterward, take a few minutes to explore the grounds, which feature fountains, sculptures and views of the fields, before heading to the next stop.
Open daily 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Guided tour is $25; call for reservations. 888-766-6328, robertmondaviwinery.com
Go With the Flow
Sterling Vineyards in Calistoga offers a leisurely, unique and picturesque winery experience. It starts with an aerial tram ride up three hundred feet to the winery, distinctive with its Mediterranean-style whitewashed walls. And then a self-guided tour winds around the building, with signs and motion-activated televisions positioned near stainless steel vats and wood barrels detailing steps in the winemaking process. Along the way, visitors stop for five wine samples poured by informative staffers. The beauty is there's no need to rush—and you won't want to here. Linger with a glass of wine on the expansive rooftop terrace taking in some of the best views of the valley, and later enjoy the final sample in the tasting room or adjacent deck shaded by tall cypress and pine trees.
Open 10:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. weekdays and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on weekends. $25 for tram ride and self-guided tour with samples. 800-726-6136, sterlingvineyards.com
Smooth Finish
Finish a day of wine tasting in style with a stop at Domaine Chandon in Yountville. While guided tours are offered of the first French-owned sparkling wine venture in the States, the most fun is had in the sleek Tasting Lounge. Decide which menu appeals most—the classic tasting includes a brut and rosé among others—and enjoy samples of bubbly at the long bar, which opens to a grassy meadow. Or bring your glass to a tall cocktail table in the lounge's club-like atmosphere or sip al fresco on the open patio surrounded by scenic landscaping. Unwind as the sun begins to dip toward the horizon and toast a day well spent in Napa.
Open daily 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Tastings are $18–$25. 888-242-6366, chandon.com
Can't make it to Napa this month? Sample vino at the Madison Food & Wine Show, October 22–24 at the Alliant Energy Center.

What Can I Do With Datu Puti (Filipino
Coconut Sugarcane Vinegar)?
Good Questions
Q: Recently a friend came back from the Philippines and brought me a present of "Datu Puti" — coconut vinegar, I think.
I will like to know what kind of recipes you can recommend me to make with it. Thanks for suggestions.
Sent by Angela Maria
Editor: Wow, we haven't ever cooked with this. It's available through Amazon.com for about $6 a bottle, though; we might pick some up.
Readers, have you ever cooked with this? What do you do with it?

It's a good vinegar dip for Thai Spring Rolls.
Datu Puti vinegar, a little fish sauce, sugar, diced carrots and cucumber and chopped coriander.
this post on burnt lumpia is super informative on filipino vinegar. it has a lot of links to his recipes too. i personally would use it for paksiw na lechon, a sour pork stew.
thats the coco version, and the best way to use it is for a grilled chicken made in the philippines called Chicken Inasal Bacolod
inasal means grilled
bacolod is the city famous for its style of insasal
Mmmm I love chicken inasal. You wouldn't happen to have a good recipe, would you?
i wish i know it uses calamansi annato and coco vinegar, other than that i want a good recipe too ;p
Thai recipes that call for white vinegar (pad thai, that cucumber salad served with satay) are almost ridiculously better when made with coconut vinegar.
1 cucumber, peeled and sliced into half moons
1 jalapeno pepper, sliced thin into rings
1/2 small red onion or red shallot, sliced thin (about 1/3 cup)
1/2C Coconut vinegar
2Tbl white sugar or palm sugar
1/2 tsp salt
Dissolve the sugar and salt in the vinegar. Combine with the veg. Chill 1 hour.
It's definitely worth keeping around. Lighter and sweeter than white or cider, but not as syrupy as a balsamic or sherry vinegar, it's good for salads too.
Datu Puti is actually a brand. The item featured is white cane (I think) vinegar. I use it to make Filipino adobo. Can also make a spicy vinegar by adding chilies, shallots, garlic cloves and other herbs and letting it sit for a week or two, then use it as a dipping sauce for salted fish, dried beef, chicharon (pork rind cracklings). But my favorite use is as a cleaner/disinfectant-- for my floors, bathroom and kitchen counters, and pretty much anything that has to be wiped down. The sour smell dissipates quickly.
Try to get some Filipino soy sauce and make adobo!
now I know why my marinade/dressing for the cucumber salad satay accompaniment is never as good as it is at the Thai place. Another must try new to me food item! yay! Thanks joelfinkle
It's so good as a sauce/dip for fried pork (lechon kawali or crispy pata). Add some soy sauce, diced red onion, and some of this vinegar. Delish!
well Thai vinegar is not from the Philippines ... it's probably rice vinegar right?
I use it for chicken inasal -- native Philippine vinegar (either coconut or cane) is a must for proper inasal:
Mix it with ginger, chilies, garlic, lemongrass, coconut milk or any other seasonings you want to cure fish or shellfish. Vinegar-cured food, kilawin, is just as good as ceviche and ready in a fraction of the time!
Mixed with soy sauce or fish sauce and seasonings, it becomes the base for a dip for fried foods, a dressing for green mango or papaya salad or a marinade for grilled meats. It is more sour than conventional vinegars with a touch of sweetness, beautiful with the briny freshness of seafood.
you can check out this site for that, it features filipino recipes like adobo...
title : Recipe that goes well with your Datu Puti (FIlipino Sugarcane Vinegar)
hope this will help. thanks

Every fashion week, more and more attention is paid to nail art. Designers are hiring talented manicurists who can create exquisite art that works perfectly with their designs. For the New York Fashion Week Fall 2013 season, the caliber of nail art was at an all time high. Here are a few of the trends we spotted on the runways!
Matte lacquer is one of the biggest trends in nail art today and there was a ton of it during fashion week.
Badgley Mischka's luxurious collection, featuring several gowns that would look great at the Oscars, was complemented with Deborah Lippmann's Red Silk Boxers, a metallic shade that dries matte.
A simple black matte manicure works well with Misha Nonoo's Russian countryside-inspired designs.
At Karen Walker, an edgy black matte manicure was created to accent a collection inspired by punk rock.
Rebecca Taylor's androgynous show was completed with navy matte nails.
The half-moon manicure is a nail art staple, but this season many shows featured a funky twist on the classic style.
Bold makeup and an exaggerated blue grey half moon manicure added whimsy to the mystical Threeasfour collection.
Gold rings worked well with the diamond half-moons at Titania Inglis.
Sally Hansen created three custom shades for Prabal Gurung and used them to create an olive and gold pointed manicure.
Sally Hansen also created a custom shade of blue for Tracy Reese's show and paired it with a gold lacquer.
Several designers chose to go over the top and send some funky nail art down the runway.
The Blonds are notorious for their wild designs and bold nail art. Their Fall 2013 collection featured nails with images of Jack Nicholson in The Shining.
For their show, Ruffian strayed from their signature half-moons and chose a shiny black manicure topped with lace.
DKNY went wild and created long, blinged-out talon nails featuring floral prints and gold studs.
Libertine also experimented with jewels and created a gold manicure with colorful gems, which were each applied individually by hand.

From the vibrant tropical prints at Issa to the neon color palette at House of Holland, London Fashion Week proves that less than stellar weather is no match for incredible spring fashion! Ofcourse, no runway would be complete without fabulous nail art and the collections at LFW informed of us some of the European nail trends for 2013.
Much like at New York Fashion Week, barely there lacquers were pretty popular. At Kaelen, nude nail polish was accented with black to create a messy half moon manicure. Daks complemented their minimalist collection with a griege (grey and beige) lacquer mixed by Revlon nail artists.
Bright colors were also popular during London Fashion Week. Antonio Berardi introduced a beautiful neon salmon lacquer from Revlon. At PPQ, Butter London created cool water marble design with hot pink and black lacquer.
Another hit at LFW was Minx Nails. David Koma had Minx create 25 individual nail sets to correspond with each of his designs. At Francesca Marotta, the elegant designs were accented with silver nails.

New York Fashion Week wrapped up a few days ago and ofcourse nail art was front and center on the runway. Trends for Spring 2013 range from classic nude nails to unusual 3D manicures. Here are some of our favorite looks!
The biggest trend at NYFW was simple, dainty manicures. Marc Jacobs, Rodarte and Angel Sanchez all accessorized their collections with minimal nail art.
Several designers chose lacquer styles greatly influenced by their collections. Prabal Gurung had dripping crimson nails to match his dark, mysterious clothes. The nails at Kate Spade were printed with cheery white and pink gingham to coincide with the garden-themed looks. Assembly NY added some whimsy to bare nails with white doodles, evocative of high schoolers drawing on their nails with White-Out.
Some of the wilder nail art was 3D. "Psycho Beach Party" inspired the Blonds collection so the nails were ocean themed, including a red coral design. Joy Cioci had angelic white and silver caviar manicures. The craziest nail art at New York Fashion Week has to be from Binetti. These oyster shell nails may seem impractical, but they are perfect for this breezy collection!

I fart.
This is because I am a human being who exists on the planet. As such, tooting happens. I mean, not if we have just started dating. For those first few blissful weeks, I store up my farts and take a special bus out to a field upstate where I stand quietly expelling noxious gases for several hours. Don't ask me where upstate, because I won't tell you. I need my privacy.
But if you are a long-time partner, a family member, a friend, you have probably been around me when it's happened. I'm not, admittedly a 12-year old boy about it. I have a certain base-line level of shame, after all. But, and this is key, I'm not going to let my shame prevent me from living a happy life, nor am I going to let it to do me physical harm. If I held in my farts? That's exactly what would happen.

As much as it might seem otherwise, I'm not going to write an ode to the gas we pass. I just want to make sure we're on the same page -- gas happens. That's why I find this "fart filtering underwear" that apparently neutralizes the smell of gas now being sold online so ridiculous. I think it's deplorable to mine a consumer's insecurities just to make a tidy profit.
I think it's doubly so when the consumer of whom speak is a woman. Because I guarantee you, there are more women than there are men buying these under garments. That's because as ladies we're made to feel shame almost constantly, especially when it comes to advertising. Think of all the lotions, potions, and products you've purchased because you were worried about how you looked or smelled?
While I can appreciate wanting to be sensitive to the noses of those around you, I think this product is particularly pernicious. I do wear deodorant, after all. But you won't find me knocking folks over to buy those vagina washes currently being sold. You know, because of how your girl-parts need to not smell like girl-parts but rather, daisies? Barf. This is poo-pourri all over again, and I want no part of it. Now if you'll excuse me, I've got a special chartered bus headed upstate to catch.
Would you ever buy fart-filtering underwear?

No honestly I wouldn't. first and foremost because it sounds toomuch like a diaper. Second because it happenns, so what?
im with the author, i only fart around specific people like my husband, kids and family otherwise i do my best not to and even then with my husband it took a bit before i was comfortable farting around him, and with his guy friends i wont fart around them even though none of them have an issue farting around me. im just embarrassed by it and i dont know why
I think it is a great idea for a gassy lady in a new relationship. How many times has a great date turned difficult because you're so interested in who they are and what they say but you have gas? Maybe the gas is from nerves or the food you just ate. Until that person becomes your long term partner most of us want to keep those habits to ourselves. I know I have had to apologize to my husband before and wanted to run out of a room because of how bad my gas smells. But now that he has already bought the cow, he is getting all that methane I produce now too. LOL
Just as a side note. When I am pregnant, such as now, I may also consider them. I am often hit with merciless gas pains and could not hold it to save my life. To spare others and myself a lot of pain, I might wear one for a special occasion! Im totally fine with crop dusting the aisles at walmart, but not the aisles at a wedding!

Are Root Biomechanics Dying?
- Volume 22 - Issue 4 - April 2009
- 32294 reads
- 1 comments
Even though many podiatrists within the United States have little knowledge of this fact, many podiatry schools in other countries such as the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia and Spain have already started to move away from teaching Dr. Root's subtalar joint neutral position theory. These schools have moved toward teaching alternative theories of foot function such as subtalar joint axis location/rotational equilibrium theory, tissue stress theory, preferred movement pathway theory and sagittal plane facilitation theory.11-19
At the California School of Podiatric Medicine, Dr. Root's subtalar neutral theory is now being taught along with other theories of foot function and foot orthosis therapy that broaden, balance and strengthen the overall biomechanics curriculum for the podiatry students.
A Closer Look At The Flaws With Subtalar Joint Neutral Theory
The gradual move toward developing and teaching other theories of foot function is at least partially due to the many problems with Dr. Root's subtalar joint neutral theory that have been noted throughout the years.20,21
First of all, the neutral position itself is a rotational position of the subtalar joint that has never been adequately defined. A precise anatomical definition of the subtalar joint neutral position is necessary for researchers to determine whether Dr. Root's theories are reliable and accurate. Unfortunately, the definition for subtalar joint neutral position used by Root and co-workers is "that position of the subtalar joint in which the foot is neither pronated or supinated."3
This tautological definition of the subtalar joint neutral position, "neither pronated or supinated," creates great difficulty for scientific study since it lacks a description of the exact anatomical rotational alignment of the calcaneus relative to the talus that could more precisely define the neutral position.
In addition, many podiatric biomechanics educators, including myself, have commonly found inter-examiner errors of 5 degrees or more in drawing the calcaneal bisection and determining the subtalar neutral position. One must ensure accuracy for both in order to determine the degree of rearfoot varus/valgus deformity, the degree of forefoot varus/valgus deformity, the neutral calcaneal stance position (NCSP) and relaxed calcaneal stance position (RCSP), all of which are important examination findings in Dr. Root's subtalar joint neutral theory.
As a result of these inter-examiner errors, it has been my experience in teaching hundreds of podiatrists and podiatry students that not only does the rotational position of the subtalar joint vary widely when one clinician determines a foot's neutral position compared to another, but the forefoot to rearfoot relationship, NCSP and RCSP also may vary widely from one clinician to another.
The result of these differences in interpretation between one clinician and another is that different clinicians may make significantly different orthoses for the same patient, even though the clinicians all think that they are precisely following the teachings of the subtalar joint neutral theory advocated by Dr. Root and his colleagues.
In fact, in a study by Australian podiatric researchers on the variation in neutral position negative casting of a single foot by multiple experienced and inexperienced clinicians, researchers found that the forefoot to rearfoot relationship of the negative casts ranged from a 10-degree forefoot valgus to a 6.5-degree forefoot varus, or a difference of 16.5 degrees in the forefoot to rearfoot deformity determination on the same foot.22
Dear Dr. Kirby,
Excellent article. I'm currently working with a different model of foot and ankle function with good success. This article confirms to me that what I've been seeing actually could be valid.
Are you aware of studies comparing foot deformities such as bunions, plantar fasciities, hammer toes, etc in developing countries versus our own? I'd appreciate any help pointing me in the right direction.
Thank you,
Rick Olderman

Fraser Institute pushes for First Nations private property
First Nations say they never gave up their land rights.
By Angela Sterritt, CBC News
A new study says First Nations and provincial governments should explore private property regimes on Aboriginal lands.
The report called "Divergent Mineral Rights Regimes" was published by public policy think tank, the Fraser Institute today.
It asserts First Nations land claims are one of the strongest hindrances to mining investment in Canada.
"The Native land claim issue is important, it rose to the top in our study", said Fraser Institute Senior director Kenneth Green.
"There is a large degree of uncertainty injected into the mining equation in Canada because of developments over First Nations and protected lands", said Green.
The Fraser Institute report makes a number of recommendations including moving to a more American style approach and allowing private ownership of mineral rights.
But not all First Nations people think that's a good idea.
John Rampanen is a Tla-o-qui-aht cross- cultural leader living in Ahousaht, B.C.
He and his family live on their traditional territory in Ahousaht, but over the years have faced threats from a mining company they say planned to disrupt a the mountain beside their home where they harvest foods and medicine.
"'Providing' First Nations with mineral rights would imply that Canada has the authority to determine the inherent rights of our peoples," Rampanen said. "It is imperative that indigenous people know and believe that our rights are ours to define and exercise... Not the other way around"
He said he doesn't agree that creating an equal playing field in terms of mineral rights is an ecologically viable solution.
"Rather, we should look at limiting the free-for-all approach that has been exercised with non-indigenous companies regarding minerals in traditional indigenous territories," Rampanen said.
Jennifer Duncan is a First Nation lawyer who specializes in the negotiation of agreements for First Nations with industry and government. She works at a law firm in Vancouver.
She says generally speaking exploring a private property regime for mineral rights might not be a bad idea.
"I agree that privatizing mineral rights to recognize that First Nations on a collective basis own the mineral rights in their traditional territory...will reduce uncertainty and increase mining investment and thus it's a good move for both Canadians and First Nations." Duncan said.
But she doesn't agree with everything in the report.
"I don't agree with the underlying position that the provinces would "sell" or "grant" rights to First Nations because this assumes that provinces have those rights to grant and this is exactly the position that creates uncertainty as First Nations argue that they have never given up those rights to the provinces, "she said.
But the Fraser Institute's Kenneth Green says changing the First Nations property rights regime could open doors for all Canadians.
"If people want to have high standards of living, if they want to have a high quality health care, good retirement plans, we understand that the revenues from mining are an important part of that equation, both to government, to private including and society as a whole, so thats what motivates our research into resource development."

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) - Beef Products Inc. plans to file a defamation lawsuit in the wake of a publicity storm over a meat product that critics have dubbed "pink slime."
The Dakota Dunes, S.D.-based company said Wednesday that it will announce a lawsuit Thursday. A company executive and lawyer refused to name the defendant.
Company officials have long insisted that the product is safe and healthy, and blamed the closure of 3 plants and roughly 700 layoffs on what they viewed as a smear campaign.
The lean, textured beef trimmings were the subject of many media reports earlier this year, and also have drawn comments from television chefs and food commentators. The term "pink slime" was coined by a former U.S. Department of Agriculture microbiologist.

How Eggs Benedict Helped Me Bust Out Of My Cooking Rut
Kitchen Diary: Kate in New York City
It's easy to get in a kitchen rut. It happens to the best of us. Yes, even those of us who daydream about dinner party menus and squeal at the sight of a new artisanal mayonnaise in the grocery store. Personally, the rut hits me when my schedule is crammed to the max. Time is scarce, with less time to casually flip through my favorite cookbooks or bookmarked recipes for inspiration. With my brain hovering around the same five classic staples I'm utterly bored with, there's only one thing left to do: Cook something outrageous and spontaneous.
What's there to cook that's outrageous and spontaneous, you say? This past weekend, inspiration struck in the form of an elaborate, gorgeous brunch sure to make any city brunch-goer skip the wait and line up directly at our kitchen door. Ordinarily, I prefer strolling to the neighborhood breakfast joint, but time, well, weather.
Eggs Benedict is one of my favorite things to order in brunch, in part because it's full of so many moving parts I'd almost never endeavor to make at home. Sure, I was probably capable of making hollandaise. Sure, I could try to perfectly coordinate the timing of poaching the eggs and cooking the bacon and toasting the english muffin so that everything wasn't lukewarm. But why? File Eggs Benedict right alongside French macarons and croissants in the list of things I'd rather leave to the experts!
Feeling particularly keen to stay in pajamas this past weekend though, I made hollandaise on a whim. After watching various celebrity chef YouTube videos and cram studying a few recipes, voila! Call it beginner's luck or masterful whisk skills, either way it came out stellar and was just the perfect brunch to pull me out of the kitchen rut. Plus, now I know for sure why hollandaise is so delicious. I'm looking at you butter.
What do you cook when you're in a kitchen rut?
Have your own Eggs Benedict adventure this weekend:
- Lighter Eggs Benedict with Mock Hollandaise Sauce
- Eggs Florentine in Hash Brown Nests (with non-mock Hollandaise!)
3 Comments
I also made eggs benedict this weekend with asparagus as the underside of it. My favorite way though is to do a southwestern style with a corn tortilla, tequila chorizo, poached egg with chipotle hollandaise sauce. Yum.
To the eggs-benedict-hesitant: you can do it and it will be worth it! Just don't try to serve more than four people the first couple times (I've never attempted more than four but maybe that's just me). The key is having everything set up before you start, just like for a stirfry.
Do your bacon in the oven, eggs on the stove, hollandaise in the blender, and muffins in the toaster. Hollandaise in the blender was my breakthrough moment to getting my favorite breakfast at home :)
Ugh, I need this today. I'm thinking dinner will be cereal and scrambled eggs. It's probably too late for eggs benedict, but maybe tomorrow.

WHITE RIVER JUNCTION, Vt. (AP) - A Vermont developer wants to build a new $8 million, 38,600-square-foot office building on the banks of the Connecticut River in White River Junction.
The proposal by DEW Properties of Williston would have tenants including the Department of Motor Vehicles, the Windsor County state's attorney's office and the U.S. Department of Veteran Affairs.
Town Manager Hunter Rieseberg says it would make for a "wonderful gateway to Vermont project."
The Valley News reports existing structures on the site would be demolished to make way for construction.
The project still needs to be voted on by town officials, but Planning Commission Chairman Bruce Riddle said he didn't see anything that would prevent the project from moving forward.
The developer hopes to begin work this fall.

If you heard somebody screaming in the distance on Monday afternoon, it may have been LSU coach Les Miles.
Vadal Alexander, one of the Georgia's most heavily-recruited college football prospects, committed to LSU over Auburn and Alabama. The 6-foot-6, 300-pounder from Buford High School was ranked by some as the state's No. 1 OL prospect.
Alexander called all three of his finalists on Monday, and got an enthusiastic reaction from Miles.
"It was great," Alexander told the AJC. "He was ecstatic. He was screaming and yelling, you know, only like Coach Miles can do. He is very outgoing. He was happy and he was definitely screaming."
Miles had plenty to hoop and holler about. LSU rallied to edge Auburn for Alexander's services.
"I had taken my official visits to Alabama and Auburn, and going into this past weekend's trip to LSU, Auburn was leading," Alexander said. "But I went to LSU and it just clicked for me. It was one of those things that I just knew when I left from Louisiana on Sunday evening. It was the atmosphere, the coaches, and everything. There was nothing negative about LSU, It was all positive."
Alexander is a native of New Orleans, and lived in Louisiana until he was three years old. His father played college football at Nichols State. Alexander said the Louisiana connection did not affect his college decision. "No, it really didn't. I went into my official visits with an open mind. Everybody was even and got their chance. Being from Louisiana wasn't a factor."
What position will Alexander play on LSU's offensive line? "They see me as a tackle but I would play any position that they need me to play. I would play tackle or guard."
Buford High School is the four-time defending Class AA state champions in Georgia. It has nine players that have either been offered by or committed to major colleges, including linebacker Dillon Lee (committed to Alabama) and tight end Kurt Freitag (Alabama, Florida or maybe FSU).

Good luck kid. Should be fun to play for Coach M. Would've liked to had your services in Athens, I hope they don't end up on probation. Inside sources say the NCAA is doing alot digging into the LSU program. I guess when you have players that assualt people its to be expected. Not to rain on your parade. You still have time to change your mind.

Would have been nice to have him stay in state but I can't blame the kid. They're having a great season and the entire state of Louisiana gets behind their college and pro football teams. Now maybe we should be visiting some Louisiana Gumbo eating OL's in the next couple of weeks to offer a big fresman the chance to start immediately between the hedges. Has to be a recruit that wasn't too excited about this commit…

BAMA………………………………………..Will still have a better recruiting class than UGA and have better records.
Would have liked to have had this guy, but Their are plenty more to be had. We have 6 players from GEORGIA so far.
GEORGIA is far behind BAMA in recruiting.
SCOUT…………………………UGA not listed………………………………BAMA 4TH
RIVALS…………………………UGA rated 20th…………………………….BAMA 5TH

Vampire Bill ……………………………Glad it's not bama
Every school in the SEC feels the same way.
Why ?…………………………………………When you are the SEC's most successful program then you will have haters from every school.
We do not mind, because it just shows than we have won in the past and are doing it in the future.

Kid has wanted to go out of state, UGA was never a player for his services. Would have been nice to have him, but some kids no matter what, just want to get away.
Best of luck at LSU.

9. Tennessee: 783-333-55
BAMA has a winning record against every SEC opponent …………………….Even against TX A&M.
BAMA leads GEORGIA……………………………….36 WINS………………..25 LOSES.
It is OK to hate BAMA…………………………………..WE DO NOT CARE WHAT YOU THINK
October 10th, 2011

BAMA program is what UGA would like to be………………………………But can not. Never have and never will be as good and as successful.
HATERS just give BAMA motivation.
October 10th, 2011
3:43 pm
I believe the rotation with THE SEC EAST (LEAST) is every 4-5 years that they play.
That means that if you won every game against BAMA for the 11 wins to catch up……………………………………Most of you would be DEAD !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Now that was FUNNY !!!!!!!!!!!

What's the deal with Buford kids not heading to UGA? Is it their coach? Is there some bad blood between Garner or another UGA coach? It seems the players coming out don't have UGA even in their top 3.

Read it and WEEP.
"I'll beat you with my team today, and I'll beat you with your team tomorrow."
"At Alabama, our players don't win Heisman Trophies. Our teams win National Championships."
"If you want to walk the heavenly streets of gold, you gotta know the password, 'Roll, Tide, Roll!'"
"It's an old story. You stick your head above the crowd, and you're going to have people trying to knock your block off."
"Sure I'd like to beat Notre Dame, don't get me wrong. But nothing matters more than beating that cow college on the other side of the state."
"What the hell's the matter with you people down there? Don't y'all take your football seriously?" [Coach Bryant, upon calling Auburn at 6 AM only to find out that none of the coaches were in their offices yet.]
"Here's a 20, bury two." [Coach Bryant, after being asked to chip in 10 dollars to help cover the cost of a sportswriters funeral.]

Bama getting every top prospect out of Georgia?
Delusional much?
I picture you as about a 5 foot nothing 100 pound nothing who never played any sports who dresses all preppy to try and attract the girls but always fails.
Never went to college, much less Alabama and lives vicariously through a cheating cesspool of a program that has always cheated and always will.
October 10th, 2011

If Bama had to give up their conference and so called national championships every time they have been put on probation they wouldn't even have one of each. When you have to cheat to win them they're not worth anything.

LSU, oh come on, he should have gone to GEORGIA TECH, but my guess is he wants playing time early. Tech is loaded with young OL and he may not have seen the field for about 4 years.
Wish him all the best at LSU, maybe Tech will play against him in a Bowl game.

Ummmm… to the DA who is talking up Alabama's class compared to where UGA's ranks. Well, when you go 6-7 last year, and you have coaches talking up the "Hot Seat" issue about our HC, the class will have a bit of a fall off. Now that UGA is winning a bit, and we all know winning cures all, maybe, just maybe UGA secures a few folks that are still major targets before it is all said and done. But get out of here with the pissing contest. I mean, Alabama has had a MNC two years ago, two undefeated seasons, and has been winning. UGA, not so much. Is it that difficult to reason why the disparity? DA!!!

NCBulldawg86 ……………………………..Exactly……………………..But you have so many delusional UGA fans that do not want to admit the truth.

ARE YOU FRIGGIN KIDDING ME!? YOU GET DALLAS LEE AND KOLTON HOUSTON FROM BUFORD, AND LOSE VADAL ALEXANDER TO LSU!? NICE PIPELINE BOOBOO AND FRIEND, AKA "THE CHEWTOBACCO BROTHERS". THAT MAKES UNDER ARMOUR ALL-AMERICAN BRANDON GREENE TO ALABAMA, JOE HARRIS TO SOUTH CAROLINA, (Where incidently, he plans to kick UGA's butt in the same manner Atlanta Creekside product and future NFL 1st rounder ROKEVIOUS WATKINS has done the past two years) and now ALEXANDER! Maybe,just maybe, Richt/Bobo can land Avery Young, but if they do so it's because the kid's mother lives in Cuthbert, which is a big Bulldog town.They'll deliver the kid, not Richt or Bobo. But Young's crazy if he commits to Georgia. Politics will see to it that he carries Watts Danzler's helmet for the next four years.Talent and ability has NOTHING to do with it. It's "THE GEORGIA WAY"' you know. You guys are great. You're going with Dantzler, Dabell and Theus rather than Greene, Avery Young and Alexander!!! Richt is certifiable, along with his sidekick, BoBo the clown! This is why UGA always sucks! How do ya'll stand it? It's got to be tough being a dawg. Anyway, thanks for the stud. We'll groom GREENE to play left tackle for us just like Hepzibah, Georgia and 1st round NFL pick JAMES CARPENTER did. UNBELIEVABLE!

Do you dawg fans ever wonder why it is that every time these Bama idiots whip on a player, they get on here and biouch and moan and groan and cry and cut Georgia down. That's what small kids do whenever they don't get what they want. What is truly amazeing to me is why on God's green earth would a kid want to go to Alabama of all places. California, New York, maybe even Flordia, but Alabama. I suppose that weak arse class work really works well for Alabama. We know why they go to Auburn. The asking price must have been a bit to steep for the Tigers or Eagles or whatever the heck they are.
So Vidal lived in New Orleans for how many years? Until he turned 3. You got to be kidding me. He lived there until he was a hole 3 years old. Just curious, but where did he live after he turned 3 years old? It's a good thing that he didn't live in Georgia for 15 years or LSU wouldn't have had a chance in hedes of getting him.

Our Frameworks
Media Justice: An Affirmative Framework for Media Change
CMJ recognizes that we live and work in a changing media landscape characterized by unprecedented consolidation of ownership and increased influence of U.S. news and entertainment media around the globe. These conditions present both threats and opportunities for communities of color and poor communities. Communities who have been historically marginalized from the democratic process must continuously defend our rights to fair media access and accurate representation, while advancing strategic stories to transform the public narrative around race, class, and power.
Media justice is a participatory, relevant, and strategic framework that addresses these threats and opportunities, and centers the leadership and participation of historically disenfranchised communities in the movement for media change.
Guided by a broad vision for social justice, this framework has five key assumptions:
- Media change of all kinds must expose and directly confront the mechanics of structural racism and systemic oppression.
- Leaders from historically marginalized communities must be developed as effective media activists and strategic movement communicators.
- Media policy advocacy and strategic communications are more effective when clearly relevant to the primary justice issues of the movement for racial justice, economic equity, and human rights.
- Compelling communications and media activism campaigns must be both rooted in critical issues and coordinated across issue, sector, and region for national impact.
- When justice sectors strengthen communications strategies, center the use of culture as a communications tool, employ winning frames and messages, and strengthen their influence over media rules and rights, the possibilities for transformative change skyrocket.
Traditional media reform and communications strategies are insufficient to address structural racism in public debate and policy, and to create a media environment in which campaigns for racial justice, economic equity, and human rights can thrive.
The Center for Media Justice is dedicated to building a strong and effective movement for media justice, and supporting organizing groups to incorporate media as a tool to reclaim our stories, reframe our humanity, strengthen our campaigns, and determine our destinies.
Because the power to communicate should belong to everyone.
Participatory Communications
Participatory communications is a framework for conducting change communications and media advocacy that engages people at all levels of movement leadership. Strategic communications should not be the job of experts only. Everyone in a community organizing group or campaign has a role to play in communicating the core messages, values, demands, and vision of the advocacy effort, and should be given the tools, training, and opportunity to participate in the process.
Justice Framing
The right has spent decades developing frames that highlight personal responsibility, conceal structural inequity, and replace government- and community-based policy with privatization and corporate solutions to social problems. Justice framing is a methodology that exposes structural inequity, emphasizes social responsibility and corporate accountability, and highlights the role of government and policy. Justice framing uses news coverage, policy, entertainment media, and all forms of communications to move public conversations toward a collective vision of progressive structural change.

Report: Mariah Carey Four Months Pregnant
Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon have remained mum since rumors began to swirl that singer was pregnant, now one report claims the R&B star is expecting.
According to Radar Online, Mariah is four months pregnant. The website reported the couple is not yet publicly talking about the reported pregnancy.
Another Radar source claimed that Nick has been sharing the news only with close friends.
A rep for Mariah was not immediately available for comment when contacted by Access Hollywood on Wednesday.
As previously reported on Access, on Monday, Nick dodged the pregnancy question on his New York radio show, saying, "I've said it before and I'll say it time and time again – when my wife feels like talking about whatever she wants to talk about, you will hear it directly from her."
Mariah stirred speculation by appearing very pregnant on stage in Brazil this past weekend.

About Kiriakos
A tinkerer by impulse and extremely curious person observing the world with eyes wide open I always was fascinated with technology. Getting my structural engineering degree and shortly thereafter leaving the profession for the true passion of my life that lies in software development I never perceived stepping out of the mold as a bad thing. A behavior that I also try to teach my intelligent agents.
This is quite informal and vague. For a more detailed image on who I am and what I have been occupying myself with in the past and present please visit my personal internet log @ kindstudios.gr
I am very interested in Internet technology and primarily World Wide Web technology, which is also a big part of my current occupation.
I am often seen as a casual web developer, still I want to do more.
Currently I am trying to teach a herd of servers to communicate with each other in order to convey not only raw numbers to be used to act on predetermined patterns but to have them raise awareness about their peers, reason about the collective state, reconfigure under distress and even exchange markers about their confidence in the status quo.
I am currently enrolled in the coursera org/course/crypto class widening my understanding of information security's technical aspects.
I was part of the initial distributed education experiment namely the Spetember 2011 classes:
ai-class, ml-class, db-class.
I am known to be taking on various web development projects on my own, some like the beautiful (yet only in greek) duendemagazine gr But in general I try to take on objects that will require me to dive deep into the code. I want to do inter-networked things, not just another blog, there are other people that can do casual blogs much better than me.
In 2008 I made my own first web application aether3d com that was meant as a tool to help people explore architecture with its own shockwave based 3d engine. It was a miserable failure but I ended up learning a lot.
I have been tinkering and open sourcing various developments and toolsets some of which can be found on my github page http://github.com/kiriakos

An idea worth spreading
As a culture we are evolving more now than we have in the past ten centuries. Yet the diversity of the things we have access to still is determined by geography. The chasm between those with-Tech and those without-Tech as well as the chasm between those who control their tech and those who consume their tech keeps getting more disturbing.
In a world where countries and multinationals have grown in complexity to such an extent that they start showing signs of meta behavior and in a world where semi sentient HFT machines daily invest more money than all the people in the world combined are we sure we are still the predominant species on the planet? Could it be we too are just bacteria playing minor roles in the life of a primordial new species?
I'm passionate about
Open source, equal opportunity tech, free speech. Things that will have a positive effect on the 1st world as much as they will have a positive effect on the 3rd world.
Talk to me about
Cool things that can be done over the Internet
People don't know I'm good at
Cooking! :-)
