Irene Adler. The Woman. The only woman to ever beat Sherlock Holmes. It was with trepidation that many fans waited for A Scandal in Belgravia. Some were ecstatic when it came out; many others horribly disappointed. Before the episode aired, there were many people who were worried that Irene would be a love interest for Sherlock, whether it be because they are die-hard shippers who didn't want a woman getting in the way of ~their ship~ or the idea that Irene and Holmes being in love is nothing new. The latter is based off of many, many years of fandom pairing Irene with Holmes, despite the fact the first paragraph in A Scandal in Bohemia states:
TO SHERLOCK HOLMES she is always the woman. I have seldom heard him mention her under any other name. In his eyes she eclipses and predominates the whole of her sex. It was not that he felt any emotion akin to love for Irene Adler. All emotions, and that one particularly, were abhorrent to his cold, precise but admirably balanced mind. He was, I take it, the most perfect reasoning and observing machine that the world has seen, but as a lover he would have placed himself in a false position.
As you can see, there wasn't any love between Holmes and Irene. Admiration, respect, possible scorn, yes, but never love. Though Irene and Holmes met face to face several times, they never did so without the use of disguises. Holmes dressed up as a workman the first time and acted as an impromptu witness to Irene Adler's marriage to Godfrey Norton. The second time, he was dressed as a clergyman in order to find where she hid the photograph of her and the King of Bohemia. The third, and last, time they met, she was dressed in men's clothing and followed Holmes after he found where the photograph was located, and said 'Good-night, Mister Sherlock Holmes.' Holmes could not pinpoint who she was, and therefore she managed to beat him at his own game.
Why then, do many scholars like to create a romance between the two? Even though there was no love between them, and even though she married the man she desired and went away with in order to escape harassment? William Baring-Gould, one of the leading scholars of Sherlock Holmes and editor of the Annotated Volumes of Sherlock Holmes, even continued the theory that Nero Wolfe (an American detective) was the child of Holmes and Irene conceived during the Hiatus. In more recent times, Irene Adler was the love interest to Robert Downey Jr's Holmes. It's also particular how many pastiches, adaptations, and stories like to play up the idea that Irene Adler was a thief and a femme fatale. She was an adventuress, yes, but only in the sense that she travelled abroad, acted outside of the familiar female norm, and was courted by men outside of her class. The entirety of her criminal exploits was rudimentary blackmail which she was using as a means to keep the King of Bohemia from invading her life even further. He had sent many teams to try and steal the photograph, ransacking her house and breaching her privacy. It's no wonder she went to such extremes to keep something sentimental to her kept under lock and key.
Given Moffat's history with female characters, many were concerned that he was the one to try and tackle the episode with such a prominent female character. Some people think Moffat is a 'feminist writer' because he writes ~strong female characters~. This article has a lot of quotes that pretty much proves Moffat's views of feminism.
Moffat, unsurprisingly, doesn't agree. "In the original, Irene Adler's victory over Sherlock Holmes was to move house and run away with her husband. That's not a feminist victory." He says he found Jones's argument "deeply offensive". "Everyone else gets it that Irene wins. When Sherlock turns up to save her at the end it's like Eliza Dolittle coming back to Henry Higgins in My Fair Lady: 'OK, I like you, now let me hack up these terrorists with a big sword.'
Moffat has bizarre views on what is feminist or unfeminist. Irene Adler in the book was a very independent woman who chose a lawyer over a king out of love rather than spite: 'I love and am loved by a better man than he. The King may do what he will without hindrance from one whom he has cruelly wronged. I keep it only to safeguard myself, and to preserve a weapon which will always secure me from any steps which he might take in the future.' How is this not a feminist victory? She made all the choices and moves herself and while she may have been 'warned' against Sherlock Holmes, she concocted her own plans, managed her own life, and escaped using her own wits. She won, on her own. Sure, she may have used a bit of help from her coachman and her husband (who she discussed the decision over with rather than him making the decision for her - or the other way around. Relationships that include changes such as the one they made should be equal), but they were acting on her prerogative. It's also rather ironic that Moffat says Irene 'run[ning] away with her husband' is not very feminist when he later states:
It's not the first time Moffat has been accused of sexism in his writing. He wrote a storyline recently about Doctor Who's mother. "I was called a misogynist because I was reducing women to mothers. 'Reducing women to mothers' – now there is possibly the most anti-women statement I've heard."
I'm sorry, but I don't understand how getting married is less feminist than constantly having female characters becoming mothers. As Hallor pointed out, not every woman can or wants to be a mother! Childbirth can be scary and dangerous and is not something everyone wants. Also, not every woman has a uterus or can bear children, so why is motherhood necessary to his female characters? I get flak from the people around me for even daring to say I'll never have children. I get/see statements saying 'You will when you find the right man!' or 'What are you going to do with your life?' or even 'Do you hate kids?' Again, the stereotype that women are the 'gentle ones', 'the homemakers', 'the childbearers', and 'the emotional ones' is being perpetuated here. There's a lot more of this stigma in Doctor Who, so I'll continue on with another stereotype that Moffat promotes in Sherlock instead.
On Sherlock, Irene Adler is a lesbian Dominatrix. That's basically the first description that comes to mind when you think about her. In the warehouse with John, she states that she's homosexual with this conversation:
JOHN (quietly): Who … who the hell knows about Sherlock Holmes, but – for the record – if anyone out there still cares, I'm not actually gay.
IRENE: Well, I am. Look at us both.
Irene has several relationships with other women that were seen onscreen (presumably Kate Middleton, and her assistant who was also (either coincidentally or intentionally) named Kate), however, she also alludes to relationships with men. Most likely these were all because of her work, where she held power over anyone regardless of their sex. The entire time, she made constant sexual innuendos and passes at Sherlock who made it clear he had no desire for any relationship of the sort.
Throughout the episode, Irene was at a disadvantage. She used information she obtained from Moriarty on how to play Sherlock and Mycroft, she used her occupation to cause conflict between other people and for her own personal gain (something which a Dom/me should not do). She tried to 'out-Dom' Sherlock himself, but it was obvious that there was no way he would back down. She 'beat' him, not in a game of wits, but rather in a physical sense; a point that was emphasised in the very show. Moffat had done that before in A Study in Pink, where he had Sherlock mock Anderson's intellect, but slut-shamed Sally in an attempt to point out their weaknesses. Again, even though Irene came in hard and initially baffled Sherlock, he managed to be three steps ahead until Irene had to use physical force to take him down. He broke the code to her safe, took the phone from under her nose, and managed to deal a blow to Irene's unshakeable confidence in the matter of minutes. It was only with luck that she managed to get that phone back - if he decided to leave after shooting the gun to summon the police, she wouldn't have beat him at all.
Back to the relationships - the whole point of the episode was, according to Moffat, 'Sherlock and love'. Or, as what was seen from the show, 'Sherlock and how women fall in love with him for no reason whatsoever'. Irene was a self-identified lesbian and yet she fell in love with a man. Yes yes, romantic love and sexual lust are completely different things. But let's take a roll call: how many lesbian/bisexual/non-heterosexual women have been told 'You just need to find the right guy!' or 'You're into chicks? That's so hot!'? The only significant relationship Irene had in the episode was with Sherlock who she was constantly flirting with. If she hadn't explicitly stated that she was gay, how would any of us know? It would appear as if it was another female character falling in love with the main male character. It comes back to the queer visibility that Moffat refuses to show. River Song was never explicitly said to be non-heterosexual in Doctor Who and her only significant romantic relationship was with the Doctor. This is stepping into a rather dangerous ground where sexualities are meant to make these women 'sexier', especially to men. They're both strongly sexual characters and by making them non-heterosexual, it gives way to easily fetishising women who can be associated with them.
That's not even getting into the way Irene was introduced to Sherlock. Yes, it appeared clever to have her completely nude when they first met in order to hide every bit of evidence from him. However, he can read people by more than just their clothing. Her hairstyle, her lipstick, house-decorations, her accessories even, could make it possible for the great Sherlock Holmes to pinpoint facts about her. In fact, he did so in the show! 'Can't be your birthday – no disrespect but clearly you were born in the eighties; the eight's barely used, so…' for instance, or even how he managed to figure out her measurements were the password. He managed to make inferences from John's physical features in the same scene, so why not Irene's? (Also, it begs the question on how Irene managed to fake her death. Even modifying a body double would leave scarring before the death, and I would hope Sherlock could tell the difference after being in her naked presence for so long. Also, she wouldn't have been able to pretend to be dead the entire time under the scrutiny of three people. Plot hole, anyone?) Moffat used Irene's sexual confidence in an attempt to be clever, but it was more than likely an attempt to generate controversy, comments, and ratings.
'But Sherlock was naked too!' I hear fans shout out against this argument. Yes, he was. Mostly. And it was used more for comedic effect rather than an attempt to be racy. But the fact of the matter is, women are often exposed on screen to show off their body, to show how 'sexy' they are. I raise a questioning eyebrow to the scenes of male characters working out without their shirts on or taking a shower. It seems pointless, but if you compare those scenes to women taking showers, the difference is clear. Men are shown to display their masculinity, their muscles, and (depending on the story) their anguish with life. Women are nude to show their femininity, and sexiness, to be the goddess of your fantasies. It enforces the idea that men are people and women are objects. It makes the entirety of Irene being a lesbian Dominatrix rather disturbing rather than enlightening.
Also, what are Irene's flaws? This article wasn't lying when it said we don't want male writers' ideas of ~strong female characters~, we want well-rounded characters who are female. Irene came off as the Sherlock version of River Song to me. She was smart, sexy, physically capable, witty, sneaky, and had a vast amount of resources. But, like River, her only flaw seems to be her emotions - her emotions for the Main Male Character to be exact. She tried to be clever, but exposed ~her heart~ to Sherlock by making it obvious she was in love with him. Those pesky womanly emotions! Sherlock took her pulse (which, excuse me, but I wasn't aware Moffat was reading fanfictions…) and found she was attracted to him and thus realised the password to her phone, crushing Irene's entire plans to dust. She did not win, and thus does the same to Moffat's argument of this being a more 'feminist victory'. Irene Adler beat Holmes in canon in a battle of wits. Sherlock defeats Irene in the show by exposing her attraction to him and he leaves her to her fate. If she was indeed just 'playing the game' as she claimed rather than him discovering it by realising she ~liked him~, it would've been a better ending. 'I AM SHERLOCKED' had the chance to be an amusing password, but the way it was pulled off seemed shallow and conceited.
To finish off the tropes Moffat added onto Irene Adler, from Femme Fatale to Girl on Girl is Hot, she was made into a Damsel in Distress at the very end. Going back to the article about ~strong female characters~, it points out that no matter how capable these female characters are, no matter how strong or how smart, they will need to be saved by a male character. People may argue that Sherlock was returning the favour since it is assumed that Irene was the one to call Moriarty at the beginning of the episode, ending the pool scene on a light note. However, that was months before Irene and Sherlock met, and I highly doubt Irene knew Moriarty's plans to kill the boys at that point in time. Others may try and say that Irene triumphed in the end since she now knew Sherlock was sentimental towards her, but that's a moot point. Again, it makes her only flaw her emotions and femininity. Besides the race fail (in choosing Karachi of all places to instigate racism, especially when Islamophobia is so high, and the fact that Karachi was formerly part of the British Empire and is now a financial boon to the Middle East and Asia), look at the scene in context. Irene Adler was dressed in Middle Eastern garb (with perfect makeup and hair) on her knees with men surrounding her with guns. Another man comes up behind her with a sword in order to behead her. She is given one last chance to send a message with the phone she's somehow managed to keep the entire time, and she sends her last text to Sherlock as a goodbye before he reveals he's her 'executioner' come to save her. For no reason that can be determined, she decided that a country that may want her dead is the best place to hide only to be captured and sentenced to death… Then in the nick of time, the Main Male Character she happened to Fall in Love With comes out of nowhere to save her from impending doom all on his own. This reeks of an action film that has no continuity or consistency and falls into the male fantasy of saving the hot female character from danger.
Because that's all this episode was with Irene Adler really. A male fantasy in the form of an action film starring Sherlock Holmes and another disappointing adaptation of Irene Adler.

|Paid another visit here last night. Had a nice pint, and reasonably priced, though it was a bit warmer than it should have been so perhaps they are struggling to keep the temperatures down in the heat? Not the friendliest of service last night, felt like we were causing an inconvenience by being there and we were initially ignored at the bar.

|It certainly makes for an interesting experience, indulging in a pint while sat in the market area of the Arndale. An excellent view of the cheese counter next door, but sometimes the smell of the fish counter round the corner can be a little offputting. However for me what makes this place is the funny looks you get from passers by in the Arndale when they see you sat in the market with a pint. Something a bit different!

|Great place to start off a day's drinking before watching the mighty 10 man U's beat Bury. Started off with the Boggart Cascade a light coloured bitter which was a pleasant first pint at 11am, then went on to the rum Porter which was fantastic. My mate had one of the guests from Newcastle I think which also hit the spot. A bar like this should be compulsory in all soulless shopping centres. 8/10

|nice place to escape shopping with the wife. Boggart brewery tap. However, I still need convincing that the quality is up to scratch. Had 2 halves last month and both were rather average

Brewer's Reserve No.1
Tasting Notes
Brewer's Reserve No.1 is a strong, full-bodied malty ale that has been aged in 30-year-old single malt casks for a period of 500 days. During this time the ale infuses with flavours and characteristics of the whisky that has absorbed into the wood, leaving a balance of hoppy bitterness and tangy marmalade fruit. Rounded off with subtle smoky vanilla notes and a hint of whisky, Brewer's Reserve is a rich, amber, 7.7% ABV, limited edition ale that is both complex and distinctive.
Brewer's Reserve No.1 was released in November 2008 and is no longer available for purchase - although it may appear as part of special Fuller's events in the future.

I mean… do the writers even have everything written down? Have they kept track of the shitshow they've forced upon this one character alone? Do they have ANY idea where they are taking her? Is it asking too much to just have a coherent character arc? I wasn't thrilled with the Lucy Caboosey backstory (because the way they did it felt like such a cop out/glossing over it) but at least they were still trying. Now it's just reached the point of absurdity.
Where the fuck are her parents? She had a breakdown when Finn pushed her into confessing her pregnancy and that was only temporary. Those medical bills would have cost a shit ton of money. Did her dad even see her in the hospital? What about her sister we've only heard mentioned twice? JUDY FABRAY, WHERE YOU AT? Is there anyone aside from Teen Jesus (who we've only known since Valentine's Day) looking out for this girl?
Glee, I don't know what the fuck you're doing, but it's bad. It's very, very bad.

climate change ain't the whole thang
One seldom remarked aspect of global warming is the remarkable finding that how the world develops is vastly more important than how it responds to climate change.
Indeed, our climate change response must be embedded in our development path.
Seems straightforward, no? Climate change action is necessary but not sufficient.
Yet, there has been a tendency (at least since the Stern Review) to focus almost exclusively on mitigation of and adaptation to climate change.
We're told the planet is approaching a tipping point, and nothing is more important than avoiding such a catastrophe.
True, as far as it goes.
On the other hand, some folks focus almost exclusively on resource shortages, such as peak oil.
We're told the planet is running out of resources, and nothing is more important than developing new energy sources and closed-loop production systems.
Oh, and, then there are others who focus almost exclusively on equity considerations.
We're told the planet is brewing unrest, and nothing is more important than averting a devolution into barbarism.
Wot's it gonna be? All three, say we.
We cannot mitigate climate change without also resolving resource shortages and achieving global fair shares.
The unavoidable conclusion: we should be discussing development pathways, and not simply carbon dioxide.

Quick! When is Kim Kardashian's baby due date? Do you know? Well, I don't know, either. That is because I have a life. But I do know she's pretty darn pregnant. Anyway, for people who are actually paying attention, you are officially on notice: Rumor has it Kim K may be lying about her due date.
The rumor goes something like this: Kim has gained SO MUCH WEIGHT (eye roll) that she wants to buy herself some time to lose that weight before presenting her baby and her post-pregnancy self to the world. And you know what? This is where we all need to stop and realize that the celeb pregnancy weight train has officially gone off the rails.
I guess the official word is that Kim is due in mid-July. But Page Six is saying it's actually more like mid-June. I don't know -- this plan of pretending the baby is born a full month later than it actually is sounds a little flaky. First of all, everyone who has ever seen a newborn baby is going to be able to tell the difference. A newborn looks like Yoda (in a beautiful, adorable way), and a month-old baby looks like a baby. Besides, Kim's just going to disappear from the tabloids for a full month? Yeah right! Like that's even possible at this stage in her life.
I don't buy it. But even so, that a rumor this insane even exists shows us all that we're way too obsessed with how much weight celebs gain during pregnancy. All those post-baby bikini photos are a little crazy-making, don't you think? Imagine the pressure! Can't a woman just be pregnant in the way her body wants to be pregnant without it turning into a PR disaster story?
Even if Kim is gaining SO MUCH weight, she's going to be just fine. She's short, for one thing, so she's going to look fuller just on account of there not being any place for that bump to go but everywhere. She may have some swelling. Honestly, I don't even think she looks that big. She's not like Jessica Simpson's last pregnancy. She's just gaining like any other woman would.
A more likely version of the rumor is that Kim is lying about her due date because she wants some privacy with her baby before the hordes descend. Now that I can understand!
Do you believe the rumor that Kim is lying about her due date?
Image via Pacific Coast News
i think she is because didnt kate m. get prego before her or similiar, yet kate doesnt look as prego as kim, so she might even have the baby sooner then june...but i think with kayne in the pic, she will have some privacy, i mean this past week eps. we just learned she was prego....so maybe she is changing...but omg what will she do with herself lol, but i bet she will crack sooner....heehee she loves the spotlight, i mean wouldnt you if you where that famous? I know i would lol.
Honestly, I don't think she should be defended about her weight gain. If you can't control what you eat when you're pregnant that's your own damn fault. When you gain so much weight that you look fat instead of even remotely pregnant coming from such a small figure, there's a problem. No sympathy for KK.

One Great Opportunity for Streaming Larger Profits
Callum is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Marriage is always sweet, and the marriage of Dreamworks Animation (NASDAQ: DWA) and Netflix (NASDAQ: NFLX) could make those investments even sweeter. On Monday, these companies announced an agreement to stream over 300 hours of original content on Netflix that Dreamworks will make.
For Netflix, Dreamworks will make a series based on its upcoming movie Turbo. Turbo is an animated kids movie about a failing family restaurant that can't seem to get any business. That family ends up finding this snail that can race as fast as a car and enters the snail into a NASCAR race to help save their restaurant. That movie will be made into a TV series called Turbo: F.A.S.T. Other content will be made as well, with a speculated Shrek series, which could be huge.
For the children
Netflix has two different options for viewers when you start it up; you can watch either the normal service, or the "just for kids" one. The kids service is there so that parents can feel safe knowing that their kids aren't watch R-rated movies and so Netflix can easily showcase all of its cartoons and shows for a children's audience.
In May, the streaming deal between Netflix and Viacom (NASDAQ: VIA) expired and wasn't renewed. Viacom owns Nickelodeon, which makes shows such as SpongeBob SquarePants and Fairly Odd Parents. These are very popular kids shows, and families were angered that they weren't there anymore.
The streaming deal between Dreamworks and Netflix can help remove those kind of situations, as the content Dreamworks makes for Netflix is exclusive for Netflix and will most likely be there for a very long time. This will reduce subscriber churn and lower the amount of subscribers leaving Netflix because their favorite show isn't on it anymore. That creates a far more stable revenue and profit stream for Netflix, which will be very big for its stock price.
The content makers
Dreamworks also benefits because it will have more leverage over the control of its TV content. If it receives a deal that it views as too low, it can always turn to Netflix. So far, Netflix has said it wants to spend 10% of its content acquisition costs on original content, which right now is $200 million ($2 billion total content costs).
As Netflix buys up more content and content costs up go, that $200 million will grow. Plus, if the original content works out and draws in more subscribers (like House of Cards and Arrested Development did), then Netflix could increase the 10% threshold up to 15% or 20%. Dreamworks will be able to take a large share of that cash, especially if it makes a Shrek TV series, which would be huge on Netflix.
Viacom isn't going to miss out on the streaming binge watching craze either. The company signed a deal with Amazon.com (NASDAQ: AMZN) to stream tons of its children's shows on Amazon Prime, from SpongeBob SquarePants to Blues Clues. This is good news for Amazon's Prime service, as it allows the company to show the world that it is a true competitor to Netflix. It also is good news for Viacom, because it allows the company to keep making money off of the content that it has already made.
Margins from streaming
Netflix has quite a high PE (trailing-12 months) of 516, which puts it valuation up there next to the social-networking companies. But its forward PE is 70, as EPS is expected to grow by 121% over the next year. If Netflix can meet those targets, then its high valuation will seem more reasonable. It looks especially realistic when you look at Netflix's increasing margins and shrinking negative margin for overseas subscribers.
Trefis sees Netflix's streaming margin in the US rising to 30% by 2019, which is a significant improvement from 19% today. This as marketing costs as a percentage of revenue decline and more subscribers sign on. I wouldn't be a major buyer as of right now, but taking a speculative position in Netflix could be a great long-term play as it becomes far more profitable over the next two years.
Dream of this working
Dreamworks used to just make movies, which made its profit stream very volatile as it only made money when movies were released and for a period of time after that. If Dreamworks can start making more TV shows, which it already has for Cartoon Network and is going to do for Netflix, then it can increase its profits and smooth them out. The less volatile the profit stream the happier the investor.
Keep in mind that Dreamworks' revenue is $748.5 million (trailing-12 months), so if it can grab a large chunk of Netflix's original content spending then it can boost its revenue by 7% to 12%. I'm bullish on the Netflix-Dreamworks deal and would also recommend a speculative position in this stock for the next few years.
Dual wedding
The addition of Viacom's content on Amazon Prime is a good move for both companies, as it enables Viacom to keep making money off of streaming and gives Amazon Prime a competitive edge in the children's viewing experience. That deal was the largest in Amazon Prime's history and shows that Amazon is aggressively trying to get into Netflix's turf.
As far as Viacom goes, it trades at a PE (trailing-12 months) of 16 with an expected growth rate of 13% to 16% over the next several years. If it can hit those targets, then combined with its 1.8% dividend yield a case could be made that this company is slightly undervalued by 5% to 8%.
Amazon is a company with explosive growth just like Netflix, with its EPS expected to grow by 146% over the next year. While Amazon has no PE, this company trades more around its prospects than it does its fundamentals. Amazon dominates the online-retail space and is moving into the cloud and into your living room with Amazon Prime. I'm bullish on Amazon in the long term, but I would wait for a pullback to around $240 to buy in.
Final thoughts
As the battle for the living room rages on, it is important to keep up to date on which content provider is providing content to who so you can see how shifts in subscriber and viewer bases might happen. This way you can stay one step ahead of the curve and have market-beating returns.
The tumultuous performance of Netflix shares since the summer of 2011 has caused headaches for many devoted shareholders. While the company's first-mover status is often viewed as a competitive advantage, the opportunities in streaming media have brought some new, deep-pocketed rivals looking for their piece of a growing pie. Can Netflix fend off this burgeoning competition, and will its international growth aspirations really pay off?

Elberta, Alabama
Bamahenge, the world's first full-size fiberglass Stonehenge, was built by Foamhenge creator Mark Cline. "No Druid has ever worked this fast on a 'henge," said Mark, who erected the entire monument -- after siting it to be in line with the June 21 solstice -- in only four days. Mark saved time by designing only four "block" shapes, which could then be flipped over and turned around to make each look different. He completed it just in time for the winter solstice, 2012.
"I am evolving with the 'henges," said Mark. "First foam, then fiberglass; the next one is sure to be concrete. Let the wind huff and puff and blow that one down, by golly!"

Procedures Performed at the Heart and Vascular Center
Alcohol Septal Ablation (Overview)
Angiography is a technique for imaging blood vessels and other soft tissues using X-ray technology. Blood looks the same as surrounding tissue on an X-ray, so in order to help blood vessels show up, a contrast agent that absorbs X-rays is injected into the blood through a catheter, which makes the blood, and therefore the vessels, visible on the images. The images themselves are either still images or fluoroscopic moving images.
Angioplasty (Overview)
Atrial Septal Defect (ASD) Closure
Until relatively recently, atrial septal defects could only be closed via major surgery. These days, however, our specialists inpediatric cardiology and interventional cardiology are able to repair many of these problems using a self-expanding, double disk device known as an Amplatzer septal occluder, which is introduced into the heart via a catheter and implanted across the defect like a small wire web. This procedure takes place in our Heart and Vascular Center and the patient is frequently able to go home the next day.

Balloon Angioplasty
See Percutaneous Transluminal Coronary Angioplasty

Cardiac Catheterization (Overview)
Cardiac Diagnostic Tests (Overview)
Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy (CRT)
Sometimes called biventricular pacing, CRT is a form of therapy for congestive heart failure caused by dilated cardiomyopathy. CRT employs a specialized pacemaker to re-coordinate the action of the right and left ventricles of the heart. In about 30 percent of patients with congestive heart failure, an abnormality in the heart's electrical conducting system causes the two ventricles, which should beat together, to beat slightly out of phase. This condition reduces the efficiency of the ventricles in patients with heart failure, whose hearts are already damaged. CRT re-coordinates the beating of the two ventricles by pacing both of them simultaneously. This differs from typical pacemakers, which pace only the right ventricle.
Chemoembolization is a way of delivering cancer-destroying chemotherapy directly to a tumor. With X-ray imaging to help guide him or her, one of our specialists in vascular interventional radiology use small catheters inserted into the body through an artery in the groin, the femoral artery, to feed chemotherapy directly into the tumor site via the blood vessels of the body. Chemoembolization helps kill the cancer in two ways. First, it delivers a much stronger dose of chemotherapy to the cancer than can be delivered intravenously. Second, it cuts off blood supply to the tumor, starving it of the oxygen and nutrients it needs to grow. Chemoembolization is often used in tandem with other treatments to attack the cancer aggressively.
Chest X-Ray (Overview)
Coil Embolization
Coil embolics are tiny metallic coils of wire created from alloys that "remember" their shape. These wires are fed through a catheter into an aneurysm. When they exit the catheter, the wires returns to their original coiled shape. The coils are used to fill up the ballooned-out space of the aneurysm. This slows the flow of blood in the aneurysm and allows it to clot, which keeps the aneurysm from growing any larger and prevents the possibility of it rupturing.
Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery (Overview)
Cryoablation is a technique for destroying tissue by freezing it by delivering a coolant to the targeted tissue via a catheter.

Echocardiogram (Overview)
Echocardiography (Overview)
Electrophysiological Study (EPS) (Overview)
Embolization is a minimally invasive procedure used to block a blood vessel. When a physician chooses to embolize a vessel that is bleeding, it is because he or she has determined that the vein or artery is doing more harm than good. There are many types of materials used as emboli (plural of embolus – a foreign body introduced deliberately into the blood stream to block the flow of blood). Emboli include small coils, screens, PVC pellets, polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) particles, and metal sponges.
Endomyocardial Biopsy
Sometimes, in order to diagnose rare heart disorders, a tiny sample of heart muscle is removed and studied under a microscope. The procedure, performed under a local anesthetic, involves inserting a special catheter called a biopsy tome [Glossary] into the right side of the neck. The catheter is fed via a vein in the neck into the heart where it removes a tiny tissue sample.
Exercise Echocardiogram (Stress Echocardiogram) (Overview)
Back to Top
Fluoroscopy can best be described as "live" X-ray images of a patient. In fluoroscopy, a radiologist uses a device to control an X-ray beam that is being transmitted through a patient. The X-rays strike a fluorescent plate that works in conjunction with an "image intensifier." The output is transmitted via a television camera to a screen so that the physician can actually watch moving images on a monitor.

Implantable Cardioverter-Defibrillator (ICD) Implantation
Much like a pacemaker, an ICD is a small, computerized device that senses an irregular heartbeat and jolts the heart back into a normal rhythm by passing an electrical current into the heart muscle. ICDs are often used to treat ventricular fibrillation and ventricular tachycardia.
Back to Top
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) (Overview)
Microwave Ablation
Microwave ablation is a technique for destroying tissue by delivering microwave energy to it using a specially designed probe introduced to the area via a catheter.
Myocardial Perfusion Scan, Stress (with Exercise or Pharmacologic)
Myocardial Perfusion Scans are also called Exercise Thallium, Stress Thallium, Cardiac Nuclear Imaging, Adenosine Thallium Scan, and Cardiolyte Scan; type depends on the exact type of stress and drugs used
Myocardial Perfusion Scan, Resting (Overview)
Back to Top
Pacemaker Implantation
See Implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) implantation
Percutaneous drainage
Percutaneous drainage is a minimally invasive method for draining fluids from inside the human body. A physician called a radiologist uses X-ray imaging equipment to help guide a small tube called a drainage catheter to the area to be drained. Normally, the catheter is introduced into the body via the femoral artery, an artery in the inner thigh or groin area.
Percutaneous Transluminal Coronary Angioplasty
Also known as a balloon angioplasty.
PFO closure
In order to treat Patent Foramen Ovales, PFO closure devices are fed through a catheter inserted into the body through a small incision made in the femoral artery on the inside of the thigh. The device itself resembles two round, fine mesh webs that oppose each other on each side of the open foramen ovale. The cardiologist guides the catheter to the correct position using X-ray imaging. The PFO closure device is designed so that it opens automatically when fed through the catheter.
Back to Top
Radiation Therapy (Overview)
Radioembolization, or selective internal radiation therapy (SIRT)
A procedure in which tiny radioactive microspheres smaller than the diameter of a human hair are introduced into the tumor site where they irradiate the cancerous cells, and kill them. The arteries feeding the tumors are rendered inoperable which also helps to kill the cancerous tissue by starving it of blood.
Radiofrequency Ablation
As it pertains to the heart, radiofrequency ablation uses radiofrequency energy (heat) to destroy abnormal electrical pathways in the heart muscle. An electrode is introduced into the heart through a catheter in a process known as cardiac catheterization. Using complex imaging equipment, the physician, an electrophysiologist, first "maps" the area of the heart causing the problem to locate the specific neural pathways that are firing abnormally. Other types of ablation include cryoablation and microwave ablation.
Radionuclide Angiography, Resting
Also called MUGA, Gated Blood Pool Scan [Resting], Gated Cardiac Scan, Resting Gated Blood Pool Scan, Multigated Graft Acquisition, and Cardiac Blood Pool Imaging
Radionuclide Angiography, Resting and Exercise (Overview)
Renal Artery Embolization
Renal artery embolization is a procedure in which small pieces of a special gelatin sponge, or other material, are injected through a catheter to clog the main renal blood vessel. This procedure shrinks kidney tumors fed by the renal artery by depriving it of the oxygen-carrying blood and other substances they need to grow. It may also be used before an operation to make surgery easier, or to provide relief from pain when removal of the tumor is not possible.
Back to Top
Signal-Average Echocardiogram
Also called Signal-Average EKG and SAEKG
Stent Emplacement
Often a stent is implanted after angioplasty. Stents are small, metallic, tubular, mesh cages that help keep arteries dilated after angioplasty by providing a relatively rigid support for the artery walls. These tiny mesh cages are also implanted using a catheter inserted into the body through the femoral artery. Stents seem to work quite well, although, in some patients, scar tissue forms around the stent. When the coronary artery grows scar tissue through the openings in the mesh of the stent, the re-narrowing of the artery is known as re-stenosis.
Stent-Assisted Coil Embolization
Coil embolics are tiny metallic coils of wire created from alloys that "remember" their shape. These wires are fed through a catheter into an aneurysm. When they exit the catheter they return to their original coiled shape. These coils are used to fill up the ballooned-out space of the aneurysm. This slows the flow of blood in the aneurysm and allows it to clot, which keeps the aneurysm from growing any larger and prevents the possibility of it rupturing. When the opening of the aneurysm is very wide, (called, as you might expect, wide neck aneurysms, there is a risk that the coils will not stay in place but will "fall" out of the aneurysm into the main artery. When this is the case, the physician may choose to use a type of stent called a Neuroform® stent. This stent, a mesh tube made of a lightweight flexible alloy, provides a frame or scaffolding that holds the coils in place so they can do their job.
Stress Test
Also known as Stress Echocardiogram, Stress ECG, Stress EKG. See Exercise Echocardiogram.
Back to Top
Tandem Heart
The TandemHeart™ Percunateous Ventricular Assist Device (pVAD) is used by cardiologists to gain valuable time in treating patients who have suffered heart failure as a result of heart surgery or heart attack. Because it serves to "bridge" the time between one treatment and another, it is considered a bridge device. The device itself consists of a continuous-flow, centrifugal pump that is placed outside of the body. Hoses or cannulas access the flow of blood through the femoral veins and arteries. The pump removes oxygenated blood from the left atrium, pumps it using a magnetically driven, six-bladed impeller, and returns it to one or both femoral arteries via arterial cannulas.
Tilt Table Procedure
Also called Upright Tilt Testing.
Transesophageal Echocardiography
Also called TEE and Heart Scan with Endoscopy
Back to Top
Ultrafast Computed Tomography (Ultrafast CT Scan)
Also called Electron-Beam Tomography (ETB) or Cine CT Scan
Uterine Fibroid Embolization (Overview)

Also called Balloon Valvuloplasty – used to treat Valvular Heart Disease
Vascular Studies
Vascular Studies include Carotid, Arm, and Leg Arterial and Venous Studies; also called Carotid Ultrasound, Venous Doppler Studies, Arterial Doppler Studies, Carotid Duplex Scan, and Pulse Volume Recordings, or PVRs

"East Of Eden -Snafu -1970 UK":
Their professional career began back in 1967 when they were formed in Bristol by Dave Arbus (born David Arbus, 8 October 1941 , in Leicester, Leicestershire) (violin, flute, saxophone, trumpet), Ron Caines (born 13 December 1944, in Bristol, Somerset) (alto saxophone), Geoff Nicholson (born 27 June 1948, near Bristol, Somerset) (guitar, vocals), and Geoff Britton (born 1 August 1943, in Lewisham, South London) (drums), who later joined Wings.
In 1969 release their first album titled "Mercator Projected" , followed shortly after by the "Snafu" and "Jig-a-Jig" albums. Combining flutes, violins and tape loops to folk , gypsy and psychedelic music, the East of Eden style was always heavily supported on a pure rock base, strong and experimental.

Been a fan of this unique record since its release. Unlike 'Mercator', this one's more jazzy and experimental, which I prefer. For those who like their prog on the jazzy tip, check it out. Oh, and for anyone who doesn't know already, Dave Arbus, played the cool fiddle on Baba O'Reilly, on 'Who's Next'. One more thing: I've never seen the cover shown here for 'Snafu'. Mine has a great photo of an old lady playing the fiddle on the street.

Downtown DC/Penn Quarter News Round Up: Heard In The 'Hood
Photo above: PAUL at Metro Center (F St NW between 12th and 13th)
We have a few updates for you…as usual, lots going on in the restaurant scene.
Send us your downtown neighborhood news and tips in confidence to: pqliving[at]gmail.com
Find us on Facebook and Twitter and Flickr (tag: pqliving).
Oil Men (Penn Quarter) – If you find yourself passing someone on 7th Street wearing two bullet shoulder belts filled with small vials of colored liquid, you just passed an "oil man." He isn't selling fuel for your car, rather, he is selling fuel for your love life in the form of aromatic fragrances (perfume/cologne). This WaPo article spells out what we've been seeing on the street for about 18 months in Penn Quarter.
Miss America Visits Carmine's (Penn Quarter) – The Miss America contest took place last night but their first East Coast stop was in Washington, DC. The full complement of ladies dined at none other than Carmine's (425 7th St NW). You can find the TV news story here, the WaPo story here, and a few pics here and here.
Date Lab in PQ! (Penn Quarter) – The Washington Post sends its Date Lab daters downtown for dinner at Bibiana Osteria-Enoteca. The daters then hit Shelly's Backroom for cigars and bourbon. Perfect! How did the date turn out…you'll have to click here to find out. We love us some Date Lab!
Grilling, Grilling, Grilling (Chinatown/Mount Vernon Triangle) – What is it like to grill on the roofdeck of a neighborhood condo? This WaPo article provides a whimsical view.
Development/Crib of the Week
Bible Museum (South of The National Mall) – Development of the as of yet unnamed Bible Museum in the former Washington Design Center building at 4th St and Virginia Ave SW is rolling. WaPo details the vision and the effort.
Crib of the Week (Mount Vernon Triangle) – We're jonesing this top floor 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom condo at the Yale Steam Lofts. It's Unit #1203 and has an airy, spacious feel to it with a north facing balcony. The listing price is $464,900, the condo fee is $435/month, and the reported square footage is 690 square feet. This building has one of the best pools in the neighborhood and the unit comes with 1 parking space. Sounds good to us! [Redfin listing - 437 New York Ave NW, Unit 1203, MLS DC8453984] – [Virtual Tour]
Metro Center Paul Opens! (Downtown) – PAUL, a French family bakery, is now open every day on F St NW between 12th and 13th St NW near the southern Metro Center entrance/exit. This location is in Columbia Square so the address is technically 555 13th St NW but don't be fooled – the entrance fronts F St. We visited over the weekend and there is a row of outdoor seating so enjoy it while the weather is good! (See photo above.)
CityCenter DBGB Opens! (Downtown/Penn Quarter) – DBGB Kitchen and Bar (931 H St NW) opened in CityCenter two days ago to much acclaim. We went to a pre-opening event and enjoyed all the mini-bites available so we expect no less from the full blown restaurant. Menus are not yet posted on DBGB's website but Eater DC (link) and the Washington City Paper (link) have the opening dinner menu salvos plus some background.
Native Foods Cafe Opening in October (Penn Quarter) – We learned from The 42 Bus website that the Native Foods Cafe (701 Pennsylvania Ave NW) in the Market Square complex plans to open on October 14 (scroll to bottom to see DC locations and opening dates).
Tel'Veh Changes Name (Mount Vernon Triangle) – The Tel'Veh wine bar (401 Massachusetts Ave NW) decided to change its stripes and in a hurry. It is now called Rudy's Mediterranean Grill and is no longer a wine bar.
Ceiba Ending 11 Year Run (Downtown) – According to a press release, Ceiba (701 14th St NW), a Latin inspired restaurant from the Passion Food Restaurant Group, is closing at the end of September (the 27th to be precise). Some context can be found here and a short blurb from the release describes more:
The partners of the Latin inspired restaurant, Ceiba, [Chef Jeff Tunks, Gus DiMillo, David Wizenberg] are turning a new leaf and have decided to close the doors at the end of this month, September 27, 2014. It has been an exciting 11 years for the sleek American interpretation of an urban Latin establishment, Ceiba, but now is the time for its final hour. It was a challenging and heartfelt decision for the partners, but with much review of the varied external factors, closing the doors was the best course of action. It will leave behind a legacy of spicy, tangy Latin cuisine and fiery memories – of tropical-style lunches, exotic dinner choices, and annual festive celebrations, right there on 14th and G Streets just blocks from The White House.
F Street Window Displays
We're enjoying the window displays in the 900 block of F St NW and we thought we'd share.
Fall colors on show above at Anthropologie (950 F St NW)
"Love notes to your closet" above at J Crew (950 F St NW)
Summer Sips: Art & Soul
The warm weather (and humidity) are lingering around, so we've been packing in as much al fresco dining and drinking as possible. This weekend, we enjoyed a refreshing and innovative cocktail at Art & Soul (415 New Jersey Ave., NW). The Pineapple Express features pineapple infused Cachaca, Don Ciccio & Figli Fennel liqueur, cucumber and black pepper.
DBGB Kitchen & Bar To Open Sept 13 In CityCenter DC
DBGB Kitchen & Bar (931 H St NW) will be the first restaurant to open in the CityCenter development in downtown DC and per an announcement on their front door they are set to open on Saturday, September 13th for service to the public. Yesterday evening diners could be seen taking in what appeared to be mock service and we are familiar with a number of private preview events taking place this week.
This is Chef Daniel Boulud's first DC outpost and although menus have not been posted yet, we can expect the venue to follow a casual French-American bistro outline as described on the restaurant's website to include popular dishes from the NYC menu. Craft beer on tap, a 150 bottle wine list, and craft cocktails provide the liquid sustenance.
Once open, we'll be by to try it out! (We're especially looking forward to the house-made sausages.)

by Hal Erickson synopsis
Intended as the pilot for the proposed weekly series "Peter Benchley's Mystery of the Deep," the made-for-TV Hunters of the Reef bears traces of such best-selling Peter Benchley novels as Jaws and The Deep. Much of the action is devoted to a race between two salvage-boat captains -- one poor, one rich -- to recover the valuables in a ship wrecked off the Florida coast. Needless to say, the waters surrounding the wreck are infested with sharks; it is perhaps also unnecessary to observe that among the "scavengers" is a gorgeous marine biologist (Mary Louise Weller) who happens to be a knockout in a diving suit. Filmed on-location in Key West, FL, Hunters of the Reef originally surfaced as part of NBC's prime-time schedule on May 20, 1978.

Integrated Buddhist Archives
- IBA: An "Indra's Net" for Buddhist Studies
Draft proposal version October 1, 2007
Authors: Huimin Bhiksu, Aming Tu, Christian Wittern, William Magee, Marcus Bingenheimer
A. Rationale
When CBETA was founded ten years ago, few of us could have foreseen the many recent developments in information technology, especially the emerging web-technologies. Wikis (Wikipedia), blogs, Internet telephony (Skype), platforms for exchange of amateur video (YouTube), geographical information (GoogleEarth), virtual worlds (Second Life) have become virtually mainstream. At this point it is impossible to calibrate the social impact of these technologies, and in spite of GoogleEarth we are on a journey without maps or compass, led by no one in particular.
Although the trajectory is obscure, as practitioners of Digital Buddhist Studies we have to ask what these changes mean for our practice. Looking back at the last ten years it is obvious that those projects in our field which proved successful were those that could rely on long-term commitment by individuals and/or institutions. We can all remember projects that started hopefully and with promise but which, without the necessary commitment, failed to establish themselves as a permanent presence on the Web. Only a strategic, far-sighted approach makes it possible to connect scholarship and digital media effectively enough to provide continuity.
This conference is dedicated to a discussion of strategies regarding how to strengthen our practice of Buddhist Informatics. This might be an auspicious time to establish a decentralized network of institutions committed to the use of information technology for the academic study of Buddhism. We have tentatively called this projected network the Integrated Buddhist Archives (IBA). As a first step in its establishment, we envision a working group with the task of suggesting and drafting effective measures for connecting existing archives.
B. Aims
A network like IBA could provide a number of important services to academic and Buddhist communities around the world:
1. Common Portal Site & Integrated Search Interface
A growing number of databases exist which harbor large amounts of Buddhist textual materials. Often little effort is made to advertise one's collections, and so it is often difficult to know where to look for specific texts, especially for non-specialists and newcomers to the field. It seems desirable to create a common portal from which these archives and repositories could be accessed and (ideally) searched. Such a portal would also help us to heighten the profile of Buddhist Informatics within the wider community of Buddhist Studies, where projects from the Digital Humanities are often met with reservations.
2. Maintenance of Legacy Projects & Archiving
In the digital realm where objects are fragile and quickly obsolete, impermanence is certain and longevity is rare. Individual contributions to Buddhist Studies in particular often vanish with the website on which they were originally presented. Scholars move on to new projects and cease maintaining the old. This is only natural but, nevertheless, it is in our interest to offer maintenance and archival support to content providers.
An institutional network like the IBA might preserve some of those projects and keep them available once the original creators stop maintaining them.
3. Establishing Guidelines for Best Practice and Review
For many of us, the realization of a digital project is a learn-by-doing experience. For certain types of projects, however, especially those involving the digitization and archiving of texts, we, the community of practitioners, can now start to draw conclusions from our experience and share them with others. A best practice for repositories along the lines of "Guidelines for Editors of Scholarly Editions" devised by the MLA, or the "AHDS Guides to Good Practice", would help us to establish benchmarks, which also could be used by reviewers. One aim of the IBA should be to make it possible for digital projects to be included in the peer-review process.
4. Assistance with Realizing Projects
Each year IT-technologies become more complex. The minimal requirements an institution needs to set up a digital archive are competence in digitization, databasing, web-technology and project management. Though databasing and web-technology are common skills among technicians, not all solutions are equally suited to scholarship. Exchange of personnel and workshops might assist in transferring knowledge and skills between IBA members.
C. Organizational Form
We propose the establishment of a working group composed of representatives from interested institutions that meets regularly (once or twice a year). Individuals might join IBA as subscribers or advisers. The working group would serve as a forum where various forms of cooperation can be explored, especially ways to connect our archives and depositories to serve their content to an ever-wider audience. The working group could also arrange workshops and disseminate information on emerging technologies that are relevant to our practice. Representatives should have enough decision making power to draft agreements and initiate projects.
We envision IBA to be a decentralized network of institutions and individuals at work on modeling Buddhist culture with the help of computers. Through regular contact, we can compare different approaches so that all projects might expand their reach. Projects involving two or more members of IBA could be initiated and maintained. Ideally, as with Indra's net, each repository can be present in - or at least be accessed from - all others.

The greatest lie being told to young Americans is that Democrats are for the little guy. To understand that their policies do not help, but hurt the little guy, you must understand from where they come. Democrats are the people who believe government should rule the citizens. They are the former slave owners of the South and members of the KKK like Senator Robert Byrd, and former organized crime bosses of the North.
Democrats started the KKK in the South after losing the War Between the States and having Republican President Lincoln overcome northern Democrats to abolish slavery. Organized crime lords like Mafia's Godfathers were intelligent enough to realize that, rather than operate outside the law by blackmailing businessmen for "protection" from themselves, they could make their mooks vote them into control of the government where they could make the laws. As mayors, governors, congressmen, and eventually presidents, they could make laws and regulations to force businesses to come to them for permission to operate under their rules and collect from them legal government taxes rather than blackmail money.
This is the beginning of corruption in America's elected government, and while it is endemic throughout government, its heart is in the Democrat Party. Under Wilson they learned the power of propaganda using news media to disseminate what they wanted people to believe, which included making Republicans out to be greedy and corrupt while telling the people Democrats were for the little guy. Democrats inflicted Prohibition, the War on Drugs, the War on Poverty, and abortion rights on the people.
Today's Democrats who promise affordable healthcare for all, service from the doctors you want, liberty from having a job, and saving the planet from carbon emissions are promoting these things for one reason only – to confiscate more money from the people to support their corruption. Every program initiated by Democrats under the guise of making America better destroys whatever they touch, requiring them to spend more to "fix" the problems that weren't really problems to begin with, and guaranteeing they are never fixed. Democrats' "brown thumbs" turn everything they touch into sh*t.
With control of the health industry they can now force people to pay them for medical insurance, see the doctors who pay them campaign money, and control how much is spent on their healthcare when they get old and increase costs to prolong their lives. Taxpayers are useful to the government, while those who collect Social Security and require extensive medical care cost the government money. Insurance was never meant to be a business for profit, but corruption has allowed them to become corrupt, and now Democrats are seizing control of that corruption for their own profit rather than regulating the corruption out of it.
Obama says the TEA Party is the new KKK because they object to a black man in the White House, not his $1.5 trillion yearly deficits! Yet the former Grand Masters of the KKK who became congressmen were all in the Democrat Party. Democrats who promoted abortion on demand to "save poor people from the burdens of babies" did so to control the rapidly growing black population so which grew from 6% of the population to 12% in just one century. Over 50% of abortions are by blacks who comprise 12% of the population.
Organized crime lords, the men who sent their thugs into businesses to shake them down for protection money, used the wealth they stole from working people to install themselves into positions of greater power, like the government. They because union leaders so the workers would have to pay them to get a job and raises. They ran for government and became mayors, governors, congressmen, senators, and eventually presidents.
Once in those positions they raised taxes on the rich to confiscate most of the wealth men who created businesses and jobs, and when that wasn't enough they went after the middle class. They invented social programs like Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, welfare, and food stamps under the guise of helping the people, but they only help themselves to most of that money as less than half that goes into those programs makes its way back to the people. The income tax that Theodore Roosevelt only wanted to inflict on the Robber Barons of his day was supposed to be a small tax on the rich.
People used to pay taxes only for businesses and land. Instead it has become a means of double taxing all the people by first taking from their income and then taking more in sales taxes as well as business and land taxes. In 1900 Americans paid 7% of their income in taxes, while today it is over 40%.
Democrats who promise to steal wealth from the rich by waging a War on Prosperity do great damage to the economy, destroying jobs and businesses while sucking the lifeblood from the private sector. The worst depressions in the economy were all in the last century when Democrats raised taxes so high that businesses collapsed. Wilson, Roosevelt, LBJ, Carter, and Obama all orchestrated shrinking economies by stealing all they could from the rich, and then going after the middle class, which accounts for the only times the middle class shrank in America rather than grew.
Today's Democrats milk taxpayers to buy the votes from tax parasites who live off of their fellow citizens without working for their own benefit, especially since Obama just removed the work requirement for welfare that was installed under Gingrich in the 90s. Their mantra of "income inequality" is to enlist the help of these parasites in bringing down the wealthy businessmen by telling their followers those men got rich on the blood and sweat of the poor working stiff who lives in squalor starving to death. Far from living the life of Les Misérables, the poor in America live better than the upper class in most nations around the world.
It has been seven years since Democrats took power in Congress. To listen to them it takes ten years for government to grow the economy, not just six months for their policies to have a profound effect. The last time America's economy was this bad was during the Carter administration. It took six months of Reaganomics to turn it around, not several years as Democrats insist. Wisconsin just proved them wrong again.
The people from whom Democrats take the most money are the middle class, not the filthy rich. The rich they do take from have less money with which to create new jobs and hire employees to grow their business. Drugs and crime are rampant and more people are becoming poor, losing their jobs, getting paid less every day.
The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result. The current generation of voters has proved that Americans are being dumbed down and failing to vote intelligently.
Reaganomics succeeds in Wisconsin

Of course... noone knew this so it kinda backfired... anyway... I was really stuck for what to do with my part... I just suggested to Gerkinman that I do a Singing Broccoli as a Joke... I actually did it. Broccoli then got popular amongst my Friends at DeviantArt and SheezyArt... So I made more stuff... hense the reason you're reading this now! I hope you enjoy it!

My 1993 YZF750R is using a lot of water. She runs very well but has oily residue in the water and the oil window is milky. I suspect the head gasket but noticed a water pump seal for sale. I'm clutching at straws as a head gasket is a big job!Any ideas?

Do you know where is the coolant is going ?
Is it being forced out of the system or is your oil level going up?
A compression test may detect a faulty seal as well as the spark plug condition.
It seems to get forced out of the expansion tank overflow. I can't see the oil level since the sight glass is so milky!
I think you know what`s going on.

fact that the coolant is being forced out via the expansion tank indicate that the problem is the head gasket.
To get the same result from a failed water pump seal you will have had to of added a substantial amount of coolant.
You could do the oil seal / water pump seal but you will probably end up wasting time, oil, coolant, and finally money.

American Reunion has released a new red-band trailer, previewing a few more snippets of new footage ahead of the gang's big get-together in a few weeks' time. This is probably the most consistently funny of all the trailers released so far, striking a nice balance between the gross-out gags and quarter-life crises.

Oh man... arenas. Even though I only did 2s for points back in Wrath, my roommate (and arena partner) knew that he always had to have something ready for afterward to calm me down. I have never been angrier about anything in WoW than the night we actually timed out of an arena match. The opposing resto druid didn't even have a partner, but because my roommate was also a resto druid, we didn't have the damage to kill him.

Delicious! I added a little beef broth to the shredded lamb at the end to make it jucier, but otherwise it was just perfect. I'm sure it's better with lamb, but I may try the recipe with beef some time to cut back on cost. I served the lamb over egg noodles (I think it would be good over mashed potatoes, too) with roasted broccoli on the side.

kellyt42 Posted: 02/28/09
Great Dish. It was a little dry at the end and I added in some more wine and a can of low-sodium beef broth to juice it up. I made it with a Sausal Old Vine Zin which added a little spice to the dish.
moonsma Posted: 09/30/09
This is the best lamb recipe ever. I made it exactly as written and everyone loved it! Will make it frequently. Served over buttered noodles it's good for company too.
KellyCooking Posted: 11/10/10
I did not enjoy this recipe. The lamb was dry and the sauce was not great.
Cookingnskiing Posted: 06/02/12
Ok but now little dry and not at all visually pleasing. Needs some kind of color to perk it up. Won't make it again and wouldn't recommend making it for company.

I enjoy time with my foster mom, but also enjoy lounging in the yard with my foster sisters. Speaking of my foster sisters--there are 2 of them--one who is 4 1/2 and one who is 11. We all get along beautifully, but sometimes when I meet new dogs I am nervous and bark when I shouldn't. That doesn't mean I don't like other dogs (you should see the GIANT one that comes to visit at our house!), just that I need proper introductions. There are no 2-legged kids living in our house, but I really like all the ones who have come to visit, or ones I see when mom takes me for my daily walks. Speaking of walking, I am so happy to be going for a walk that sometimes I pull a little on the leash, but after mom makes me sit and reminds me not to do that, I am fine.
I do have proper house manners, but I get very excited when it is time for meals. Then I like to dance and sing, but I know to sit nicely before I can start to eat. I'm not fussy about my food--I don't care what it is--just bring it on! When it comes to "commands", I do know sit, down, stay, come, wait, leave it, & heel, but mom says I sometimes have "selective hearing", whatever that means! I sleep on my bed through the night and don't get on the furniture (although my sisters do!). I must admit that I bark when strangers come to the house, but I do need to let mom know they are there! After all, she may not know them and not want them to come in, but if she does, she will tell me it is ok--then I get to meet them.
As much as I like living with my foster family, I would LOVE to have a permanent family of my own. It would be wonderful to have a brother or sister for company in a new home. And if my new parents were home most of the time, I would be in heaven. Please let someone from Lab Rescue know when you want to "get together".

So after that terrible start, the Wizards are on something of a roll, winning three in a row as Gilbert Arenas starts playing much more like his own self. Meanwhile, the perennially disappointing Brendan Haywood has really been stepping up this season, offering 10 rebounds and 2 blocks in thirty minutes per game, plus pretty efficient scoring. Admittedly, small sample, but if Haywood can keep up this improved play (and the additional minutes opened up by Etan Thomas' injury; minutes that I think he should have been getting all along) there may be hope for this team yet.
