Looking for quality water filtration system at an affordable price? The Hexagon alkaline hydrogen ( Alkaline ) water system is the choice of most prudent consumer. Patent pending technology. Fully certified by NSF and SGS. Made in Korea.
Wednesday, February 16, 2011
Why choose filtered Water?
With water filtration technology getting better and more affordable these days.It seems that choosing filter water over bottle or tap water is a prudent choice.
Water filters remove more dangerous contaminants than any other purification method, and they are uniquely designed to work with municipally treated water. The water they produce is not subject to phthalate contamination, and they are able to remove cryptosporidium from drinking water, a feat that neither municipal water treatment plants nor bottled water companies have yet managed. Also, drinking filtered water is a much more economical practice than drinking bottled water. The pure water product of a water filter costs very little more than untreated tap water. Furthermore, because water filters use no more energy than is already required to propel water through a home's plumbing system, they circumvent several of the environmental problems of the bottled water industry.
Meantime,there is simply no better alternative for purity and economy-than filtered water.

Biefeld–Brown effect
This article may require cleanup to meet Wikipedia's quality standards. The specific problem is: the article seems to be off topic and/or a redundant description of electrohydrodynamics (May 2014) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
The Biefeld–Brown effect is an electrical effect that produces an ionic wind that transfers its momentum to surrounding neutral particles. The effect was named by inventor Thomas Townsend Brown who claimed that he did a series of experiments with professor of astronomy Paul Alfred Biefeld, a former teacher of Brown who Brown claimed was his mentor and co-experimenter at Denison University in Ohio.[1][2] Brown also believed the Biefeld–Brown effect could produce an anti-gravity force, referred to as "electrogravitics" based on it being an electricity/gravity phenomenon.[3][4] The effect is more widely referred to as electrohydrodynamics (EHD) or sometimes electro-fluid-dynamics, a counterpart to the well-known magnetohydrodynamics.[citation needed] Extensive research was performed during the 1950s and 1960s on the use of this electric propulsion effect during the publicized era of the United States gravity control propulsion research (1955–1974).[citation needed]
There is renewed focus on the Biefield–Brown effect with the spread in interest in high-voltage powered experimental flying devices known as ionocraft or lifters.[citation needed]
Effect analysis[edit]
The effect is generally believed to rely on corona discharge, which allows air molecules to become ionized near sharp points and edges. Usually, two electrodes are used with a high voltage between them, ranging from a few kilovolts and up to megavolt levels, where one electrode is small or sharp, and the other larger and smoother. The most effective distance between electrodes occurs at an electric potential gradient of about 10 kV/cm, which is just below the nominal breakdown voltage of air between two sharp points, at a current density level usually referred to as the saturated corona current condition. This creates a high field gradient around the smaller, positively charged electrode. Around this electrode, ionization occurs, that is, electrons are stripped from the atoms in the surrounding medium; they are literally pulled right off by the electrode's charge.[citation needed]
This leaves a cloud of positively charged ions in the medium, which are attracted to the negative smooth electrode by Coulomb's Law, where they are neutralized again. This produces an equally scaled opposing force in the lower electrode. This effect can be used for propulsion (see EHD thruster), fluid pumps and recently also in EHD cooling systems.[5] The velocity achievable by such setups is limited by the momentum achievable by the ionized air, which is reduced by ion impact with neutral air. A theoretical derivation of this force has been proposed (see the external links below).
However, this effect works using either polarity for the electrodes: the small or thin electrode can be either positive or negative, and the larger electrode must have the opposite polarity.[6] On many experimental sites it is reported that the thrust effect of a lifter is actually a bit stronger when the small electrode is the positive one.[7] This is possibly an effect of the differences between the ionization energy and electron affinity energy of the constituent parts of air; thus the ease of which ions are created at the 'sharp' electrode.
As air pressure is removed from the system, several effects combine to reduce the force and momentum available to the system. The number of air molecules around the ionizing electrode is reduced, decreasing the quantity of ionized particles. At the same time, the number of impacts between ionized and neutral particles is reduced. Whether this increases or decreases the maximum momentum of the ionized air is not typically measured, although the force acting upon the electrodes reduces, until the glow discharge region is entered. The reduction in force is also a product of the reducing breakdown voltage of air, as a lower potential must be applied between the electrodes, thereby reducing the force dictated by Coulomb's Law.
During the glow discharge region, the air becomes a conductor. Though the applied voltage and current will propagate at nearly the speed of light, the movement of the conductors themselves is almost negligible. This leads to a Coulomb force and change of momentum so small as to be zero.
Below the glow discharge region, the breakdown voltage increases again, whilst the number of potential ions decreases, and the chance of impact lowers. Experiments have been conducted and found to both prove and disprove a force at very low pressure. It is likely that the reason for this is that at very low pressures, only experiments which used very large voltages produced positive results, as a product of a greater chance of ionization of the extremely limited number of available air molecules, and a greater force from each ion from Coulomb's Law; experiments which used lower voltages have a lower chance of ionization and a lower force per ion. Common to positive results is that the force observed is small in comparison to experiments conducted at standard pressure. This is likely[original research?] to be the result of the massively reduced number of ions produced by the experiment, although this could also be interpreted to be a different force entirely.
Brown believed that his large, high voltage, high capacity capacitors produced an electric field strong enough to marginally interacted with the Earth's gravitational pull, a phenomenon he labeled electrogravitics. Several researchers claim that conventional physics cannot adequately explain the phenomenon.[8] The effect has become something of a cause célèbre in the UFO community, where it is seen as an example of something much more exotic than electrokinetics. Charles Berlitz devoted an entire chapter of his book The Philadelphia Experiment to a retelling of Brown's early work with the effect, implying he had discovered a new electrogravity effect and that it was being used by UFOs. Today, the Internet is filled with sites devoted to this interpretation of the effect.
There have been follow-ups on the claims that this force can be produced in a full vacuum, meaning it is an unknown anti-gravity force, and not just the more well known ion wind, with several researchers (R. L. Talley in a 1990 US Air Force study, NASA scientist Jonathan Campbell in a 2003 experiment,[9] and Martin Tajmar in a 2004 paper[10]) finding that no thrust could be observed in a vacuum, consistent with the phenomenon of ion wind. Campbell pointed out to a Wired magazine reporter that creating a true vacuum similar to space for the test requires tens of thousands of dollars in equipment.
T. T. Brown was granted a number of patents on his discovery:
- GB300311 — A method of and an apparatus or machine for producing force or motion (accepted 1928-11-15)
- U.S. Patent 1,974,483 — Electrostatic motor (1934-09-25)
- U.S. Patent 2,949,550 — Electrokinetic apparatus (1960-08-16)
- U.S. Patent 3,018,394 — Electrokinetic transducer (1962-01-23)
- U.S. Patent 3,022,430 — Electrokinetic generator (1962-02-20)
- U.S. Patent 3,187,206 — Electrokinetic apparatus (1965-06-01)
- U.S. Patent 3,196,296 — Electric generator (1965-07-20)
Historically, numerous patents have been granted for various applications of the effect, from electrostatic dust precipitation, to air ionizers, and also for flight. A particularly notable patent — U.S. Patent 3,120,363 — was granted to G.E. Hagen in 1964, for apparatus more or less identical to the later so-called 'lifter' devices. Other ionic US patents of interest: US2022465, US2182751, US2282401, US2295152, US2460175, US2636664, US2765975, US3071705, US3120363, US3130945, US3177654, US3223038.

You can't judge a book by its cover.
But vegetables are another story: The more vibrant the flesh, the more nutrients it contains. For instance, orange-hued winter squash are naturally chock-full of beta-carotene, fiber, magnesium and potassium.
The Star's Pork, Fennel and Squash Stew combines squash with cubes of lean pork loin, silky half-moons of fennel, ribbons of leek, bits of red pepper and coins of carrot cooked in a reduced-sodium broth flavored with diced tomatoes and red wine.
Although stews are typically built on tough, economy cuts of meat that require long cooking times to break down the collagen, pork loin contains minimal fat, which helps create a fork-tender dish in record time.
Cooking tips:
Pierce squash several times with the tip of a knife and microwave on high power for 2 minutes. Allow to stand 2 to 3 minutes. Using a heavy, sharp knife, carefully cut off stem and cut in half. Scoop out seeds with a teaspoon. Cut squash into 1 1/2 -inch wedges. Peel each wedge, then cut into 3/4 -inch cubes.
The layers of a leek typically contain grit and sand, so be sure to rinse well.

"The Chris Matthews Show" is always good for entertainment. A handful of libs sitting around a small table chatting about how best they can get Dear Leader elected.
Once a week is about all of this anybody can take.
Andrew Sullivan was one of the five (counting Matthews) lib panelists this week talking about President Barack Obama's debate failure, why it happened, and how he needs to fix it. His quote was one for the ages.
"I think that they (bad, evil Republicans) got into his (Obama's) head with all this racist stuff before the first debate, you know, the Hannity stuff, 'look there's a black guy running for office,' like two days before, I think he, he, he (has) repression of his own anger.
"He (Obama) should be angry that these people (Romney, Ryan, and more bad, evil Republicans) have the gall to talk to him about the deficit and the gall to talk to him about foreign policy after their record."
So, lets see here, so much to dissect with this one statement. Sean Hannity apparently just figured out two days before the recent Presidential Debate that Obama was black and he launched a racist attack at Obama (who apparently watches "Hannity") and that got into his head to the point that it messed him up during the debate. That makes perfect sense. Why not just blame the altitude?
The second half of the quote is even better. Sullivan calls himself a "journalist" but he doesn't want anybody attacking Dear Leader. Talking "truth to power" is now "people have the gall to talk to him."
Let's see here. Obama's deficits are five times greater than President George W. Bush's and Sullivan does not want Obama to be questioned about that. Obama's foreign policy is filled with lies (lies that the administration knew they were making at the time,) the Middle East is falling apart, and Sullivan doesn't want anybody to question Obama about that.
While we're at it, the bigger question here, what are Romney's deficits and foreign policy failures? He has none. He has never been president. Sullivan think's Romney is George W. Bush. Please get some new glasses, Sullivan.
Which speaks to the essence of the Obama Campaign 2012. Sullivan exposed it. Obama is running on Bill Clinton's record and attacking George W. Bush. It's all he's got.

Does it make bread?
The new washing machine is an odd looking thing. It's not your typical top-loading machine with the controls on a raised panel at the back. It's more 'chest' shaped, kind of rounded on top, with the controls on a panel at the front. It looks rather a lot like an oversized bread making machine and, with the number of lights I'm sure there must be one that tells you when the bread is done.
Not even our video recorder has that many lights. It has a myriad of settings. One setting lets you set the machine to start washing even before you get out of bed in the morning…no cup of tea...but at least your clothes are done.
The machine also makes a number of beeping noises. I don't know what any of them mean but the one I heard sounded like it was probably reversing. It is an amazing little washing machine. It's been washing almost non-stop for two days and still going strong. Happily cleaning everything.
I'm just wondering when we can try out the bread making cycle?

Yeh, I could do with a washer that would make bread! From go to whoa without me having to do anything other than load the ingredients! Very handy!ReplyDelete
My medium-sized Simpson automatic washer isn't doing bad for its age. I got it in October '90 and it was first washing for two for a few years and now just me.
There have been a few hiccups with the spinner, and it gets temperamental at times, by stopping, but is fixed by catching onto a lever underneath the top of the tub. Apart from that, it's still going strong! (fingers crossed, after saying that!) No sign of any bread yet though!

In the last 12 months, Lane End has hosted key events for organisations including photographic retailer, Jessops, BFI Film Academy and the Royal Veterinary College.
The team at Lane End understand that the build-up to running a business event, even on a small scale, can be stressful but with the right tools and planning you can ensure it's a hit.
To help make your event a success, Lane End offers the following advice:
1. Nail down your budget – once you receive the go-ahead for an event, the first priority is to establish the budget. This will determine your event's location, style and duration. To stay on top of spending and budget enquiries, maintain a spreadsheet listing everything you need, from the venue hire to catering requirements, together with the estimated and actual costs involved.
2. Set the agenda – research and book keynote speakers and facilitators so that you can finalise your agenda before you start looking at venues. This will save time and make the planning process much more efficient.
3. Vet your venue – when sourcing a UK conference venue as well as looking at location, room capacity and AV equipment, consider factors such as overnight accommodation, broadband access and how easy it will be for attendees to get there via local transport links. Also research the venue's reputation. Don't only take into account testimonials on the website but check out customer reviews on TripAdvisor, Google and Twitter.
4. Pre-registration planning – pre-event registration can be complex and time–consuming, nevertheless it is crucial for maximising attendee numbers. It is also the ideal time to find out if attendees have any special dietary or access requirements. There are a number of online event support tools to help.
5. Review and reassess – gathering post-event feedback is vital to evaluate the effectiveness of an event.
While it's still fresh in everyone's mind, send out feedback questionnaires to participants and speakers and arrange a debrief with the venue. This will help to assess the overall experience and pinpoint aspects you might wish to improve in the future.
Lane End Conference Centre is located in the Chiltern Hills, an AONB (Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty) in Buckinghamshire just 30 miles from London's financial district.
The dedicated conference centre is made up of five distinct conference venues, each designed to afford visitors maximum comfort and privacy during their stay.
The largest self-contained venue, The Pavilion, comfortably seats up to 150 delegates. The building also benefits from two break-out rooms, private lounge for lunch, tea and coffee and private outdoor terrace.
Free, ultrafast wi-fi (up to 100Mbps) for quick, reliable browsing and video conferencing is accessible across the site, including Lane End's 100 en suite bedrooms.
As a primary training venue in the UK, Lane End operate a year-round calendar of corporate meetings and experiential learning events for a wide range of national and international businesses.
Heni Fourie, Sales and Marketing Manager at the Buckinghamshire-based residential training centre, said: "As an independent meetings venue we are proud to have carved out a reputation for delivering a world-class conference experience.
"We achieve this through continuing to re-invest profits into expanding our facilities and paying careful attention to customer feedback."

NEW YORK (AP) - April 23, 2012 --Facebook is reporting, ahead of its initial public offering, expected in May, that its first-quarter net income fell as its revenue rose by comparison with a year earlier.
Facebook Inc. said in a regulatory filing on Monday that its net income fell 12 percent to $233 million from $205 million in the three months that ended March 31. Net income attributable to common shareholders fell to $137 million from $153 million. That amounts to earnings of 9 cents per share in the latest quarter, down from 11 cents a year earlier.
The company said that higher expenses pushed down its earnings as its revenue rose 45 percent to $1.06 billion.
Facebook says it had 901 million monthly active users as of March 31, up from 680 million a year earlier.

Woman War Doctor: The Life of Mary De GarisBy Ruth Lee
One of the first of the women 'medicals' to graduate from Melbourne University, Mary De Garis was a pioneering doctor in the early 20th century. Of an established Mildura family, she practised in the Outback before serving in World War One as a doctor in Serbia.
After the War she settled in Geelong where, beloved by generations of women, she was the city's first female obstetrician, providing safe childbirth before the advent of antibiotics and blood transfusions. Her life and loves and the struggles she faced as a leader in her field are the subject of this fascinating biography.
Ruth's book received a commendation at the Victorian Community History Awards 2015 in the category of Centenary of World War One.

The University of Texas in Austin is evacuating all campus buildings Friday due to a bomb threat, a spokesman said.
"We received a bomb threat this morning from a man claiming to be part of al-Qaida," said spokesman Gary Susswein. "He was saying there was a bomb on campus. Out of an abundance of caution, we're evacuating all buildings, making sure all buildings are secure."
The call came about 8:30 a.m. to a main number at the campus visitor center, he said.
UT-Austin gets bomb threats, clears buildings
Update at 11:14 a.m. ET: KXAN-TV reports that the university's Director of Communications, Rhonda Weldon, says the university got a call around 8:35 a.m. local time from a male with a middle eastern accent claiming to have placed bombs all over campus.
The caller claimed to be from the Al-Qaeda terrorist organization and that the bombs would go off in 90 minutes, KXAN reports..

Why do you immediately think 'false flag' or a plot by CIA?
What happens when/if it does turn out to be some Radical Islamist Group??
What you going to say then??
Originally posted by Corruption Exposed
To me this sounds like a prank but a bomb threat from some one claiming to be from Al-CIAda cannot be ignored.
Since when does Al-queda WARN you before blowing you up?
I think this may be a prank since Al CIAda normally don't call in advance to warn about their attacks

College football's Bowl Championship Series is close to a deal to move its championship game and biggest bowl bouts to cabler ESPN in a four-year pact beginning in 2011.
The deal, which will see the BCS package shift to cable for the first time, is said to be worth $500 million over its 2011-14 term.
Fox Sports said in a statement Monday that it refused to match ESPN's bid, and it raised the specter of the games being unavailable to viewers who don't pay for cable, satellite or telco subscription TV service.
"Even with today's vast economic uncertainties, Fox Sports made a very competitive bid to keep broadcasting BCS games free to every home in America, one that included a substantial rights fee increase, and certainly as much as any over-the-air network could responsibly risk," Fox Sports said in a statement. "Unfortunately, the university presidents and BCS commissioners were not satisfied and they've decided to take their jewel events to pay television."
Fox has a four-year pact with the BCS that ends in 2010 and is valued at $320 million. The net was said to have bid about $400 million to renew its BCS rights.
BCS reps would not confirm details of the new pact but were quick to defend the decision to shift the games to cable.
"Currently, over 98 million homes receive ESPN," BCS coordinator John Swofford said in a statement. "With the ever-changing technology and as we look toward January 2011, when the first games in this package will be played, we know that the number of households that receive ESPN will only continue to grow."
In addition to the big-money rights deal, the BCS has been in the spotlight in the past few weeks because of the high-profile criticism leveled by President-elect Barack Obama about the lack of a playoff series to determine the final two teams in the championship game.
Obama raised the complaint, a bone of contention among college sports fans for years, in his Nov. 3 joint appearance with his GOP opponent John McCain on ESPN's "Monday Night Football." He repeated it on Sunday during the widely seen interview that aired on CBS' "60 Minutes."
"Any sensible person would say that if you've got a bunch of teams who play throughout the season … and there's no clear decisive winner (among them), we should be creating a playoff system," Obama said. "I don't know any serious fan of college football who has disagreed with me on this."

Sep 13, 2011
Researchers for many years have been trying to devise a newer method of birth control which will not affect the hormonal health of women. Therefore, now they are trying to come up with a birth control pill which will retard the release of the egg from the ovary itself. It is being believed that this new birth control pill will affect the process of ovulation.
Researchers at the Oregon Health and Science University are working towards this revolutionary birth control pill and are of the opinion that this pill will be more accessible to women and cheaper. Therefore, it will directly and positively affect the towering numbers of unwanted births. Moreover, this birth control pill is expectedly to do away with the strict dosage regimen that has to be followed in case of the present pills. The birth control pills that are widely circulated today actually accelerate the release of enzymes and hormones that affect a woman's menstrual cycle, thereby affecting ovulation. Such action often gives rise to the risk of cardiovascular diseases and the strict schedule of taking the pills reduces their efficacy by at least 15%.
The new birth control pill is expected to do away with these problems. And by not affecting the monthly cycle of ovulation, it will also be safer. It will focus of the technique inside the body that is responsible for the release of the egg from the ovary. Research has already identified the enzymes that are responsible for the release of the egg. This has been achieved by conducting tests on the rhesus macaque monkeys whose reproductive system is similar to humans. In fact, tests have already confirmed that by targeting the aforementioned enzymes, the release of the egg from the ovary can be prevented in the monkeys.
The next step in the research is to find a suitable delivery method for the pill and also a preferred timetable for the same.
This new birth control pill will hopefully be a better method of contraception and will also be able to release women from the drudgery of being bound to a strict pill-taking schedule.

Deepest darkest Austria. An ethnography
Brilliant. I think I might take up culturalbytes teaching tip:
I am now assigning Walter Wippersberg's 1994 Film, Dunkles, Rätselhaftes Österreich – Dark, Mysterious Austria, to all my students! If you teach qualitative methods, consider including this in your syllabus.
Produced for Austria's SBS-TV, this films poks fun at old-school ethnography from anthropologists and the National Geographic-esque like exposes on the exotic Africans and South American natives.
"A team of the All African Television network wanders into the darkest regions of the Eastern Alps. They observe the habits and rituals of the natives and make not one, but two ethnological major break-through discoveries." IMDB
badethnography tell us that at
"At 5:40, we learn that the team has disproved the theory that Europeans are monogamous; starting at about 7:50, they describe the elaborate costumes and militaristic symbolism of clans of the Tyrol region of Austria; and at 15:00, there's a great discussion of the curious obsession with "patently useless activities," such as biking for no other purpose than biking itself.
Aside from the humorous commentary, it's a great way of illustrating the sociological imagination, which requires us to step out of our own culture and try to look at it through the eyes of an outsider — and, as C. Wright Mills put it, to recapture the ability to be astonished by what we normally take for granted."
Pirates: Redistributing the sensible

A real gem is the video page, including clips with Chouliaraki, van Dijk, Martín Roja, and van Leeuwen discussing among other things the future of critical discourse analysis and discourse studies.
Rising powers
No more old-fashioned talk of "developed" and "developing" countries. China and India now categorised as "rising powers".
The language of riots
1. BBC World reported yesterday that the police had announced "that Mark Duggan had not fired the first shot". This is linguistically correct. But since apparently all shots fired were from police guns, the negation is midleading.
2. Young people have now occasionally been interviewed – and given space to speak – on tv. They are not talking about deprivation, bad parenting or cutbacks. They repeatedly say it is about the police: police corruption and unfair treatment. Since I can't link to the tv news here, …:
One 18-year-old man told the Independent, "Police know what they should have done, they should have come to speak to the community themselves. They don't care. You don't get no opportunities around here," he went on. "The police stop you because you're black. They stop you because you're wearing a hood."
One story on London24 headlines it tonight:
London riots: Police stop and search blamed for tension that sparked Tottenham riots
A 51-year-old builder named as Danny, who lives on the Chesnut Estate in Tottenham, said: "It was triggered by the police really. They terrorise the boys in the area for no obvious reasons. They stop them and search them, it's bullying really. You see them upset. 'What the police man just scold me about?'."
3. The Guardian reports police commander Adrian Hanstock saying: "Last night's peaceful demonstration was hijacked by a small number of criminal elements, who used that for their own gain."
Sounds suspiciously similar to the language used by Assad, Mubarak et al. Leaders will be leaders.
London vs. Moscow
I can't stop the "imagine this is Russia" thing going through my head. The police are announcing they will act "robustly", including bringing in water cannons and rubber bullets; police officers all over the city questioning young people about what/who they know; possibility of night curfew being brought in; apparently 333 deaths in police custody since 1998 and not one police officer convicted.
And very very little talk in major news media of exclusions, inequality, racism, cutbacks, etc. Instead, lots of individualising/personalising talk instead about "bad parenting".
Imagine this was Russia. What would the UK media be reporting? Strong hand tactics of the police. Soviet-style clamp down. Medvedev (or more likely: Putin) rolling back democracy – no-one listening to citizens voice their greivances and/or a generation disenfranchised by the nation's anti-democratic policies, thus they have turned to violence as the only way of being heard.
Peace Poets Workshop at Bethanienhaus
Wednesday 10th & Thursday 11th August, 13:00-16:00
The Peace Poets
We are young artist educators committed to teaching with a focus on our collective liberation. Our goal is to create safe spaces that allow us to deconstruct race, class and gender as a community. Our workshops focus on Hip Hop, youth empowerment, conflict resolution, community healing and cultural identity through spoken word poetry, music and theater.
We use music and poetry in the service of our collective struggle for justice. Through performances and workshops we open spaces for all people to embrace their role as leaders and compañeros in the construction of more just local and global communities.
As children of Hip Hop, we recognize its amazing potential to transform and liberate.
We also recognize how industries have exploited the culture and market appeal of this sacred force.
Our workshops focus on the true legacy of Hip Hop, its history and healing properties.
It's roots in African and indigineous cultures.
It's ability to tell the stories of the most marganilized and silenced in our society.
Through creative writing, performance and beatboxing, we take it back.. way back!"

London civil unrest
A lot of words flying around in the "mainstream media" to describe the events in London over the last three days. "Anarchists" being my favourite misnomer (Sky News). "UK riots" has become the key phrase to google, recalling the classic CDA comparison: "10 rioters shot in vilent clash" vs. "Police shoot 10 demonstrators dead during peaceful march".
It seems the news media and commentariat have forgotten the concerns which have been voiced since the Conservatives and LibDems came to power and started making their radical cutbacks to social services, including but not limited to closing many youth centres before the summer.
And, of course, the widespread corruption in the police which has been receiving major coverage during the Murdoch case – and would unsurprisingly fire up existing tensions between police and local residents.
These cutbacks and revelations, added to long-standing (institutionalised) social inequalities, are not serving to increase "community cohesion" in today's UK.
Context and comment here: Nina Power; Gavin Knight; Stafford Scott.
Update (see Penny Red):
In one NBC report, a young man in Tottenham was asked if rioting really achieved anything:
"Yes," said the young man. "You wouldn't be talking to me now if we didn't riot, would you?"
"Two months ago we marched to Scotland Yard, more than 2,000 of us, all blacks, and it was peaceful and calm and you know what? Not a word in the press. Last night a bit of rioting and looting and look around you."
Eavesdropping from among the onlookers, I looked around. A dozen TV crews and newspaper reporters interviewing the young men everywhere '''
There are communities all over the country that nobody paid attention to unless there had recently been a riot or a murdered child. Well, they're paying attention now.

Saturna winery is back on the market
Photo: Vineyard on Saturna Island
The latest list of British Columbia vineyard real estate from Sotheby's International Realty Canada includes Saturna Island Family Estate Winery, priced at $9.7 million.
Larry Page, the Vancouver lawyer who owns the winery, has had it on and off the market several times in recent years. Colliers International listed the property in 2005. In 2010, Allan Mark Angell, a Vancouver realtor of luxury properties, listed the winery at $15 million. In between listings, Page also has negotiated with potential investors in a search for partners in what is the largest vineyard on any of the Gulf Islands.
If Sotheby's is more successful, it might reflect the value added to the property by the talented young South Africans who managed the vineyard and the winemaking from August 2008 until last month. Winemaker Danny Hattingh and his partner, Megan DeVillieres, a viticulturist, have now left to travel in South America.
Their replacement is Hooman Baradaran, a British-trained winemaker whose previous posting in British Columbia was at St. Hubertus Estate Winery in the Okanagan.
Saturna has had unfortunate personnel problems throughout its history. Larry Page and some partners had acquired property on the island, primarily for the development of housing along the western shore. That left 78 acres of inland property, which was agricultural. Over a lunch with a Vancouver restaurateur, Jean-Luc Bertrand, Page conceived of developing a winery.
In 1995, Jean-Luc began planting the vineyard. Two years later, before planting was complete, he died suddenly. Eric von Krosigk, a consulting winemaker from the Okanagan, was hired to complete the work and to make Saturna's first wines (from Okanagan grapes). When Eric closed his consulting business several years later, the winery retained former Mission Hill winemaker Daniel Lagnaz. A few years ago, ill health forced Daniel to step aside.
Fortunately for the winery, Danny and Megan were circulating their résumés through the Canadian wine industry in the summer of 2008. Larry responded quickly, recognizing talent when he saw it.
Photo: Megan DeVillieres, Danny Hattingh
Both have diplomas from the Cape Institution for Agricultural Training at Elsenburg, Megan having spent two years in law school before deciding that, like her partner, she preferred working with plants. Danny had also picked up practical experience from 2005 to 2007 at six South African wineries and at Domaine Drouhin in Oregon. He and Megan first came to Canada to visit his stepfather, a doctor in Dawson Creek. Charmed with Canada, they returned promptly to explore wine regions in Nova Scotia, Ontario and British Columbia.
They took charge of a property in need disciplined management. The underperforming vineyard was producing about 18 tons of grapes from 42 acres of vines, enough for perhaps 1,000 cases of wine but not enough for a viable business.
Danny and Megan did the best they could in 2008, having arrived after most of the critical decisions were made in the vineyard. Their interventions did improve the wines. In 2009, which happened to be one of the best vintages on the coast in a decade, they harvested 34 tons of grapes and made good wine.
In fact, Saturna's 2009 wines, available at the winery and in private wine stores, are among the best ever made here. They include a tangy unoaked Chardonnay, a tropical-tasting Pinot Gris, and an appealing Pinot Noir Rosé and a serviceable rosé from the Merlot block that always struggles to get ripe. There is a
a good barrel-aged Pinot Noir not yet released.
And Danny made 50 cases of a sparkling Chardonnay. He was incredulous that the winery had never made sparkling wine even though island grapes lend themselves to such wines.
The 2010 vintage was much cooler and wetter than 2009. Even so, the South Africans coaxed 40 tons of grapes from the vines. Undoubtedly, they left some good wine from that vintage for the new winemaker.
Photo: Hooman Baradaran
Born in Germany in 1973 of Iranian parents, Hooman came to wine after a degree in hotel management and while working as a sommelier in leading European hotels (Claridge's in London, for example). He also worked with a London wine retailer.
Those experiences led him to winemaking. He debated between studying at Geisenheim or Australia until learning that Brighton University had a winemaking program as well. It was "three years hard core viticulture and enology," Hooman recalls.
"Our lecturer was a French British guy who had worked as a winemaker in Sauternes," he says. "We had another winemaker from Australia; a viticulturalist from New Zealand. We had our own winery. We are able to make different wines, including sparkling. It was scientific as well as practical. We also had to drive tractors and work in the vineyard as well as do our scientific lectures."
While taking the winemaking degree, he did vintages in Greece, Germany and Washington State, during which time he discovered the Okanagan wine region. He worked at St. Hubertus from 2008 to early 2010.
He will need his experience and his skills to keep Saturna at least at the level achieved by Danny and Megan. Given the usual winemaker's pride, he will want to move it higher.
And that might help Sotheby's find a new owner – although there is not a great deal of movement in the British Columbia wine market.
Sotheby's also lists two other island wineries. Morning Bay Vineyard on Pender Island, directly across the water from Saturna, went on the market last year for $2.9 million. Blue Grouse Estate Winery in the Cowichan Valley, which has been on the market now for several years, has a current asking price of $2,750,000.

Charlie Crist lost the summer.
The Democrat started his campaign in the fall with a bang, a double-digit lead in some polls. That margin has whimpered into a tie with Gov. Rick Scott, a result of the Republican's mammoth ad campaign ($20 million since spring!).
But Democrats are privately grumbling that Crist, too, bears some blame. His campaign is buzzless to many Democrats.
Were it not for Scott's self-inflicted wounds and likeability problems, Crist would look doomed right now and Democrats would be in full-blown panic mode at the beginning of August.
Instead they're just nervous. Just like Republicans are about Scott.
"There's worry," says a top South Florida Democratic fundraiser and Crist supporter. "There's not much excitement right now with Charlie."
Blame three major missteps:
A Republican-turned-independent-turned-Democrcat with a complex record of centrist-oriented deal-making and rhetorical flip-floppery isn't the stuff of which Democratic dreams are made.
Crist had a golden opportunity to gin up more energy in the Democratic primary against longtime liberal Nan Rich, a former minority leader in the state Senate. Instead, he was "disrespectful," in Rich's words, by completely ignoring calls to debate her.
Rich supporters say Crist is scared of her. He's not. He's more scared of himself.
A populist, Crist loves the crowd. He plays to it. If past debates are any measure, he plays to the theme of the debate. As a Republican in a 2006 primary, he was a rock-ribbed conservative. In the general-election debate later that year, he was an across-the-aisle guy.
Chances are slim that Rich could have beaten the former governor, even with an "elevated" profile of a debate that few would watch anyway. Crist still said no.
Crist doesn't want to define himself just yet. So the 2006 Republican candidate — who called for 12 GOP primary debates — wanted zero in his new party as a Democrat. But he blasted Scott for only accepting three general election debates.
"Rick Scott limiting debates to three is a disservice to voters," the debate-ducking Crist said as un-ironically as possible.
Scott responded: "It's hypocrisy at the highest level. Either one is too many. Or three is not enough."
Hang on, says Crist World. Scott's a hypocrite, too, for not debating his primary opponent Elizabeth Cuevas-Neunder.
But there are numerous differences between Rich and Cuevas-Neunder, who's ignored by the state GOP, which long ago launched a field organization dedicated to reelecting Scott.
Crist's campaign field team was late starting. That's partly because he couldn't rely on the Florida Democratic Party, which sat on the sidelines amid the primary with Rich. Crist World blames … drum roll … Rich for this as well.
So even Crist World admits the different party primary candidates are of a different ilk.
When it comes to hard work on the ground, Rich's grassroots outreach schedule blows Crist's away, judging by the emails from the campaigns. Every week, Rich seems to be meeting and speaking to three or more Democratic clubs and activist organizations.
Crist is busy raising money from the elite (primarily trial lawyers) and, compared to Rich, dispensing with regular appearances at grassroots clubs.
In some ways, Crist is repeating his performance in the GOP in 2009 and 2012. He eschewed meeting with grassroots Republicans, ignored them. His U.S. Senate opponent, Marco Rubio, didn't.
As a Republican or Democrat, Crist isn't really suited for the extremes of party primaries. He's a generalist, a centrist, a deal-maker. He's not a partisan ideologue.
In 2010, by the time Crist paid attention, it was too late. He soon left the GOP to try to win the Senate race. That failed too. Rich 2014 is no Rubio 2010.
But Crist 2014 is looking a lot like Crist 2010.
U.S. Rep. Alcee Hastings, D-Miramar, left this message last month on Crist's cellphone:
"You cannot win this election without a large black turnout."
It was true for President Barack Obama in 2012 when he won Florida by less than a percentage point. African Americans accounted for 13.6 percent of Florida's registered voters, but they cast about 13.9 percent of the ballots in that race.
Compare that to Hispanics, who were 13.9 percent of the overall rolls but cast about 12 percent of the ballots.
The Florida Hispanic vote also fluctuates, backing Obama 60-39 percent in 2012, but essentially splitting its 2010 support between Democrat Alex Sink and Scott (thanks largely to Miami-Dade Cuban-American Republicans).
African Americans, by contrast, are solidly Democratic, backing the party's nominee with more than 90 percent of the vote.
So for every 10 blacks who cast ballots, Crist can likely count on 9 votes. The higher the black turnout — especially compared to Hispanic voters — the disproportionately more Crist will benefit.
The math is even clearer in a midterm election, because Hispanics disproportionately stay home when compared to blacks and non-Hispanic whites and blacks.
Crist passed over some black running mates and picked a Hispanic, Miami-Dade Democratic Party Chairwoman Annette Taddeo, partly to counteract Scott's choice of Lt. Gov. Carlos Lopez-Cantera, a former Miami-Dade property appraiser and legislator.
"Since Crist did not select an African-American running mate, some folks in the Black community have questioned whether Crist and the Democratic Party have taken Blacks for granted," the Blogging Black Miami website wrote recently, noting that Crist does care about the African-American vote. Crist, for instance, has opened a field office in Liberty City. And he enjoys black support.
Rep. Hastings said he would have preferred Florida Senate Democratic leader Chris Smith, an African American. But he admires and strongly supports Taddeo.
Still, he said, Crist needs to do more to court the black vote.
"You need to identify the highest two positions and a third that you can appoint if you're elected governor," Hastings said he told Crist and Taddeo. "And of two of those positions you should announce now — just as you did with Annette — that you are going to appoint an African-American male and an African-American female."
That was two weeks ago. It hasn't happened.
Meantime, a shadowy out-of-state "progressive" group funded days of radio attack ads bashing Crist, who didn't respond with his own paid media that pointed out his record supporting civil and voting rights.
"Charlie Crist Is No Friend to African-Americans in Florida," Luther Campbell, the rapper football coach-columnist recently wrote in New Times, focusing on Crist's past support for Republican policies from guns to education.
Crist has been disciplined with his money and only recently began firing back on TV against Scott. But in black media, a little money — $100,000, say — goes a long way. And with $10.8 million cash on hand, Crist could have spent something by now. He hasn't.
Crist intends to spend big, yet the clock is ticking. That's worrying Henry Crespo, president of Democratic Black Caucus of Florida.
Crespo, who's also Hispanic and had strongly advocated for Crist to pick Taddeo, said he hopes Crist will do more and do it quickly. He said he fears that Crist, advised by seasoned Obama campaign hands, is forgetting a major difference between Crist and Obama.
Obama is black. Crist is white.
"I can see that," Crespo said. "My daughter can see that. Ray Charles can see that!"
So far, though, Crist can't.

I definitely did October the way all Octobers should be done. I went apple picking (my first time!), ate apple cider donuts, took photos in a pumpkin patch, got spooked in a haunted house (3 of them, actually...), and I got to go to Boston and finally see the beautiful fall foliage! Boston also allowed me to break out my jeans and sweaters since New England actually has seasons. Ugh, it was a dream. And on top of that, I got to go to my first music fest outside of Texas, called "Boston Calling", where I saw some of my favorite bands! I wish all my months could be this fun. :)

As my curatorial internship at the Currier draws to a close, I've been reflecting on the many great opportunities I've had at the Museum. While I spent some time in the galleries (see: A Drape Painting Takes Shape), most of my time was spent in the library and registrars' office conducting research for artist Andrew Witkin, who will have a solo exhibition at the Currier in winter/spring 2014. Witkin's exhibition explores the many stories embedded in the Currier's holdings, from collection objects to written and photographic records in the archives. Witkin's exhibition will feature a series of installations throughout the Currier's galleries, which will invite visitors to think about the way they experience objects at the Currier and perceive history as told in the Museum. My research has helped to determine what archival materials Witkin will include and ultimately, the stories about the Currier his exhibition communicates.
The research process was highly collaborative and a bit spontaneous. Witkin's general interests in organizational systems and making meaning from material culture guided my sleuthing, which resulted in exciting finds I would then communicate to the artist in post-research debriefing sessions. I want to share a couple of my finds that Witkin found particularly intriguing for potential inclusion in his exhibition.
One was accidental: an old card catalogue of exhibitions. The age of this card catalogue suggested it may lead to more information about a 1938 exhibition of "rock art" (cave paintings and engravings) that had intrigued Witkin during an earlier look at the Currier's exhibition history. The Currier's Librarian and Archivist, Meghan Petersen, eagerly pulled the appropriate card. Our excitement quickly dwindled when we saw the phrase "see typed descriptive data" on the card, which is pictured above. We had no idea what document the comment referred to, nor did we have any knowledge of additional material in the archives. Such frustration became a routine part of the research process. But dead ends and the countless number of thin records I encountered, meant just as much to Witkin as finding a wealth of information. I learned from this process that the all-but-forgotten can be just as important to our historical understanding as what is remembered through systematic documentation.
In addition to dead ends, our research yielded several unexpected connections. I'd been researching some plaster casts the Museum purchased before opening in 1929. These casts were never formally accessioned into the Currier's collection, and few records about their movements in the galleries exist. The Currier has several vintage postcards that show the placement of many of the plaster casts in the museum's East Gallery, but it is unknown how often these sculptures moved, or if the postcards show the original locations for these objects. It was unexpected, when looking at the original blueprints for the Museum, to notice that several plaster reliefs were drawn directly into the architectural plans.
Artworks once deemed important enough for inclusion in the architectural plans now reside in several offsite locations on the Currier's campus. The reliefs pictured in the plans above are currently housed in the Kennard House, a nearby building with Currier employee offices.
A selection of the sculptural casts, including the one of the Venus de Milo pictured to the left, can be found at the entrance to the Art Center.
Because Witkin typically didn't know what information might be in the archives, a lot of my time was spent sorting through materials simply to see what was available. This process yielded some of my favorite finds. One such item was on a shelf in the archive labeled "north façade loose bits." With such a mysterious label, Meghan and I opted to open the several small, individually wrapped objects. They appeared to be small pieces of an architectural model, the rest of which we found shortly after. While searching for information about the model, I found this photograph (below) with no date or explanation. With no clear documentation about the architectural model, it remains a bit of a mystery, confounded further by the unusual photograph.
These items highlight just a small cross section of my research for Witkin. His project is extensive and full of connections, surprises and unanswered questions. The research process, although challenging, has been immeasurably rewarding. Witkin's perspective on the richness of material culture illuminated many interesting nuances I would otherwise have overlooked and encouraged me to look closely for the unexpected. I hope that when you visit the Currier, you approach objects in the collection and archives with intense curiosity. If you do, you will probably find your experience as rewarding as mine!

The Portland Timbers and Vancouver Whitecaps game Thursday night marks the final meeting between the two teams during the 2009 regular season. However, off the pitch, the two teams will share many concerns over the next two years.
Portland and Vancouver were awarded Major League Soccer expansion teams in March and both franchises are scheduled to join the league in 2011. Both franchises are racing to meet myriad deadlines, develop strategies and finalize personnel decisions to make sure they are ready when MLS beckons in 2011.
"Vancouver and Portland are in similar situations in many ways," said Vancouver team president Bob Lenarduzzi. "We both have parallel paths. We're currently operating teams, but we have to have an eye on 2011."
Each team will play one more season in the United Soccer Leagues First Division before their MLS debut. What both franchises hope for is a splashy and enthusiastic launch similar to the Seattle Sounders, who have been wildly successful in their inaugural season, both on the field (second place in Western Conference standings) and in the stands (highest league average home attendance 30,204).
"It's been extraordinary," MLS commissioner Don Garber said. "The Sounders understand marketing and entertainment and have a real true commitment to it."
The expansion award announcement in Portland produced a spike in ticket sales for the 2009 season. Owner Merritt Paulson said the team received nearly 5,000 requests for season tickets for 2010 and the first MLS season in 2011 (requiring a refundable $50 deposit).
"I think there's a tremendous amount of excitement and anticipation," Paulson said.
Fans have responded to the Whitecaps in a similar fashion, making deposits for 5,000 season tickets for 2011 in less than 48 hours. "We have another 1,000-plus people on the wait-list because they didn't get in early enough during the first go-round," Lenarduzzi said.
Considering the longtime association of soccer in the two cities --both franchises date back more than three decades -- and the freshness of a new MLS franchise, the fans' reaction didn't come as a surprise.
"In a day and age of pumped up music and synthetic atmospheres, this is a fan created atmosphere," Paulson said. "You've got thousands of people playing drums and waving flags. You can't manufacture that."
Both teams are evaluating what approach to use when assembling their player rosters. MLS currently has the "Designated Player Rule" known popularly as the "Beckham Rule" (for Los Angeles Galaxy star David Beckham). The rule allows each MLS franchise to sign one player that would be considered outside of the league's mandated salary structure, allowing teams to compete for star players in the international soccer market.
"The problem we have is there aren't that many Beckhams who can heighten the profile of soccer like that," Lenarduzzi said.
Both franchises have noticed the success of the personnel decisions made by the Sounders. The Sounders possess a mix of well-known veterans, such as goalkeeper Kasey Keller and midfielder Freddie Ljungberg, and younger players, most notably Fredy Montero.
"My philosophy is I'd rather find an individual who has a lot of upside and his best years are ahead of him. I'd rather go that route than busting the bank on someone who is 34-years-old and has a bigger name," Paulson said. "But we'll take a hard look at a Beckham-exception type of player."
The Sounders weren't afraid to gamble on a player such as Ljungberg, who, as the team's designated player, has a guaranteed compensation salary of $1.3 million for 2009. Ljungberg has played well, but Montero, who leads the Sounders with nine goals, is a bargain at his $155,000 salary this season.
"They get a lot of credit from the league office for doing their homework," Lenarduzzi said. "At the same time they were playing USL, they had their eyes fixed on MLS and were quietly going about scouting the kinds of players they were able to go out and sign. We would look to try and do something similar to what they have done."
The venues of both teams will undergo extensive renovations to accommodate MLS. Paulson said renovations for PGE are on track for 2011, with a cost of $31 million. The venerable facility will be transformed into a 20,000-seat soccer specific stadium (with a total capacity of 22,000 for some events.
The Whitecaps had originally desired to build a new waterfront stadium in downtown Vancouver, but various obstacles forced them to look elsewhere. They jumped at the opportunity to play in BC Place stadium when the provincial government offered to renovate the stadium as part of preparations for the 2010 Winter Olympics. Lenarduzzi said the cost of renovations would be $356 million and include replacing the current dome roof with a retractable roof.
All this activity in the run-up to 2011 means some extra staffing requirements, but both Paulson and Lenarduzzi have indicated that the franchises have much of what they need already in place. Paulson said the Timbers have 34 full-time workers and the full-time staff will number somewhere between 40 and 50 in 2011.
"We have made no hiring decisions for 2011. We have a staffing plan in mind in terms of an organizational chart in how our world changes when MLS comes and the roles to fill," Paulson said. "I've had countless resumes sent to me. We will be starting to fill those positions in late 2009."

Yellow Batik Fabric, Floral Batik, Block Print Fabric, 2 Yard, Hand dyed Fabric, Traditional Indonesian Textile, Sewing Fabric - BCP0004
Item details
Yellow batik fabric, block print hand dyed fabric with floral pattern, 2 Yard, traditional Indonesian textile. Great for any sewing projects!
The fabric came from one of the famous batik making centers Java, Indonesia. It was made by using copper block stamp to create floral motif. The fabric was then hand-dyed.
The size is about 196cm x 104cm (77.1" x 41").
***If you find some tiny black spots don't be alarmed. Those are just the remaining of dried wax from the making process. Please keep in mind that the batik is completely handmade textiles, hand-stamped and hand-dyed. Therefore, imperfectness is unavoidable.
***Tips on how to look after your batik:
I recommend you wash the batik before you use it for your sewing project. The first time you wash your batik, hand-wash it separately in WARM water and MILD detergent. Using warm water will ensure that any traces of excess dye or wax are removed. Rinse until water runs clear. Hang up to dry avoiding direct sunlight. After this initial wash, you may use washing machine set on delicate or gentle cycle. However, hand-washing is highly recommended. When washing batik, do not rub and never use bleach or harsh detergents with bleaching or whitening agents.
**Please note that color may vary slightly due to monitor settings and photography lighting.
For more hand-stamped batik:

By adding wheat germ to your diet, you can positively boost your immune system to fight against a number of diseases and conditions like heart disease and cancer. Wheat germ protein hydrolysates have been shown to positively increase the antioxidant activity in organic systems. Antioxidants seek out and destroy free radicals and other disease-causing microorganisms in the body, reducing or eliminating the chances of serious illness. It has been shown to naturally contain high levels of these hydrolysates that stimulate the antioxidants within the immune system.
Studies have shown that the regular intake of whole grain wheat and wheat germ can reduce risk factors associated with coronary heart disease and can increase the health of the entire cardiovascular system. LDL cholesterol is cholesterol that has been oxidized, and therefore swells in the arteries and veins. This is a common sign and risk factor for heart attacks and strokes. Including wheat germ in your diet increases the amount of dietary fiber, which has also been scientifically linked to a reduction in heart disease. The presence of octacosanol in wheat germ has also been shown to reduce cholesterol levels, thereby decreasing chances of strokes and other harmful issues. High levels of omega-3 fatty acids in wheat germ also work to cancel out the negative effects of omega-6 fatty acids, further protecting your cardiovascular system.

We are here to direct you, when the time is right, for a great photo opportunity.

Always remember:
Enjoying your wedding day is top priority, and taking pictures is second.
Getting ready
Photos start (usually) 60 minutes before you're ready to walk out, or about the time when hair and makeup are finishing up. We try to make time for those dress & shoe shots, plus lots of candids of you and your entourage. Then we head over and to the significant other, and take candids of them and their entourage.
We do our best to merge into the background without missing the key shots, all while being shadows. Zoom lenses are our best friends.
This is typically the only one-on-one time I will get with both of you for the day. Try to carve out 30-45 minutes with me in the last 1-2 hours before sunset.
As a company, Luxchromatic was formed to foster inspiration, encouragement, empowerment and respect. We are here to develop a brand that stands for the value and importance of people and quality craftsmanship. We are driven to deliver the best experience, customer service, and end product.

What's it like to be a fly on the wall?

My name is Michael Reyes, and I put together a team to help document your memories as they unfold.
We offer commercial wedding photography, photojournalistic, and design services.
My style is simple, creative, and fun.
Let's connect.

Shoulder injuries such as labral tears, rotator cuff tears, tendonitis, frozen shoulder and arthritis are common in patients from all walks of life.
Whether you suffer from minor discomfort or debilitating pain, our shoulder experts will treat you with a combination of medications, therapy, exercise, rehab or surgery, if necessary.
We offer the full scope of arthroscopic and open shoulder procedures, including:
- Labral Repair
- Instability Procedures
- Rotator Cuff Repairs
- Decompression
- Distal Clavicle Repair
- AC Instability
- Total Shoulder Replacement
- Reverse Total Shoulder Replacement
- Fracture Care
When you're ready to end that nagging shoulder pain and resume a normal life, turn to the specialists at Rome Orthopaedic Center.
The shoulder is the most mobile and versatile joint in the body, requiring 22 muscles to orchestrate the synchronous movement of the shoulder blade and shoulder joint.
Unfortunately, this mobility causes the shoulder to be vulnerable to injury. Common injuries include tendon strains and tears, dislocations, labral tears and cartilage problems. These injuries can arise from repetitive overuse, advancing age, trauma and genetics.
A separated shoulder is a common injury, often occurring during a fall or a collision in contact sports. This can result in a mild sprain or a complete disruption of the shoulder.
For younger athletes, a sports-related injury can sometimes result in shoulder dislocations, which can lead to instability in the shoulder joint.
The best way to determine the cause of an injury is through a careful evaluation by a specialty physician experienced in the treatment of shoulder conditions.
In addition to an interview and physical examination, the physician may require additional tests in order to render his or her diagnosis.
X-rays can help the physician examine the bony structures, while an MRI test can best reveal soft tissue structures such as ligaments, tendons, muscles and cartilage.
