text: Back Arthroscopy What is an arthroscope? An arthroscope is a small tube that is inserted into the body that consists of a system of lenses, a small video camera, and a light for viewing. The camera is connected to a monitoring system that allows a surgeon to view the operation while it is being performed. The arthroscope is often used in conjunction with other tools that are generally inserted through another incision. These tools, unlike the arthroscope, are used for grasping, cutting, and probing. What is arthroscopy? Arthroscopy is a procedure used for joint conditions. Originally, arthroscopy was a diagnostic tool only, used primarily for planning a standard open surgery. However, because of the development of new instruments and advanced surgical techniques, many conditions can also be treated with arthroscopic surgery. What does arthroscopic surgery generally involve? Although each procedure varies, generally, arthroscopic surgeries involve the following: A general, local, or spinal anesthetic is administered. A small incision is made in the patient's skin. The arthroscope is inserted through the incision. Other incisions may be made to introduce other small grasping, probing, or cutting tools. Light is transmitted via fiber optics at the end of the arthroscope. Information about the interior of the joint is transmitted to a screen. Corrective surgery, if necessary, may be performed during the initial diagnostic procedure. Dressings or bandages may be applied to the postoperative area. The small puncture wounds created by the arthroscope and probing tool(s) may take several days to heal. Recovery time depends on the extent of the surgery and on the individual patient. However, most arthroscopic surgery is done on an outpatient basis, and patients are allowed to go home within hours after the surgery. Some patients resume daily activities and return to work or school within a few days. Athletes and other patients in good physical condition may return to athletic activities within a few weeks, under the care of their doctor. Joints most frequently examined via arthroscopy The joints most frequently examined using arthroscopy include the following: Knee Shoulder Elbow Ankle Hip Wrist Conditions most frequently found with arthroscopy The following are the conditions most frequently discovered during an arthroscopic procedure: Inflammation (including in the lining of the synovium in the knee, shoulder, elbow, wrist, or ankle) Injuries, including the following: Rotator cuff tendon tears, impingement syndrome, and recurrent dislocations in the shoulder Meniscal (cartilage) tears, chondromalacia (wearing or injury of cartilage cushion), and anterior cruciate ligament tears with instability in the knee Carpal tunnel syndrome in the wrist Pieces of loose bone and/or cartilage (particularly in the knee, shoulder, elbow, ankle, or wrist) Always consult your doctor for a treatment recommendation based on your individual condition.

Finally... faux fur time!
I've been tweeting and blogging about various faux fur pieces that I've been coveting for months now in anticipation of cold weather. Wouldn't you know on the very first cold day of the year here, that is exactly what I wore. Another thing I'm crazy about this season is a wedge boot. I love these, they're surprisingly comfy and got them for a great price. Actually, this entire look was a complete bargain - this sweater is actually on sale at AT Loft right now. LOVE when I find more trendy items for a great price. I will drop some serious cash on an investment piece, but for a trend I venture toward the sale rack quite a bit more.
I'm sure you all have shopping strategies about this sort of thing. What types of items will you splurge on, and on which pieces do you prefer to save?? Tell!
AT Loft cardigan (new and ON SALE or super splurge worthy one here) and necklace (old, similar here), NY&Co dress (really old, similar here), Spanx tights (awesome, highly recommended), DG sunglasses from TJ Maxx (similar), Michael Kors watch, F21 bracelet (similar), Francesca's wristlet (similar), Seychelles boots

I think this might be one of my favorite outfits of yours so far! Those tights are perfect & I love the touch of leopard print! As for shopping strategies, I am very selective about what I will splurge on - it has to be something I will wear to death. Otherwise, I am hunting the clearance & sale racks like a stalker...love me a good deal!! :)ReplyDelete
Such a gorgeous look, Sarah! I especially love the cardi over the dress, it was so unexpected!ReplyDelete
I LOVE this outfit, the sweater and wedge booties are amazing :DReplyDelete

Very stylish! I'm still a bit on the fence about faux fur, because sometimes you can see that it's poorly made, but yours looks nice. And it's better than real fur anyway!ReplyDelete

The faux fur is beautiful, wonderful outfit! And I love your clutch :)ReplyDelete
That faux fur sweater is gorgeous. I always try to wait for a sale, unless I'm under the gun and need it right away. I've noticed, clothing companies having more and more sales. However, you must take notice that prices sometimes fluctuate up and down. They sometimes raise the price and then offer a percentage off. So consumers really should be savvy when shopping and know when they're getting a good deal or not.ReplyDelete
That wristlet is too cute!ReplyDelete
Hi! Thank you very much for your comment in my blog!! I love these outfit, specially the cardigan, wonderful!!ReplyDelete

Kim Jong-un compulsory haircut story a baldfaced lie?
Kim Jong-un's haircut: The thinly sourced reports say an order went out a few weeks ago for university students to buzz cut the sides of their heads just like Kim.
North Korean leader Kim Jong-un's distinctive hairstyle is the 'do of the day on the Internet, thanks to a viral report that every male university student in the capital is now under orders to get a buzz just like it. But it appears the barbers of Pyongyang aren't exactly sharpening their scissors.
Recent visitors to the country say they've seen no evidence of any mass haircutting. North Korea watchers smell another imaginative but uncorroborated rumor.
The thinly sourced reports say an order went out a few weeks ago for university students to buzz cut the sides of their heads just like Kim. Washington, D.C.-based Radio Free Asia cited unnamed sources as saying an unwritten directive from somewhere within the ruling Workers' Party went out early this month, causing consternation among students who didn't think the new 'do would suit them.
"I was there just a few days ago, and no sign of that," said Simon Cockerell of Koryo Tours, which specializes in bringing foreign tourists to North Korea. "It's definitely not true."
An AP journalist in Pyongyang also said he had not seen any recent changes in hairstyles among college students in the capital.
Wide interest in the reports reflect the fascination the outside world has had with the unique hairstyles of bothKim Jong-un and his father, the late Kim Jong-il, who had a one-of-a-kind bouffant.
Though the forced grooming story may be one of many reported oddities about North Korea life that turn out to be false, it is true that the government has its own "fashion police."
Choe Cheong-ha, a defector who left North Korea in 2004, said members of a government-run youth organization routinely check for people who are not dressed appropriately. He said they look for whether people are wearing the mandatory lapel pins with the images of former leaders Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong-il, or for violations such as blue jeans, clothes with English words or above-the-knee dresses.
But Choe said directives on hairstyles weren't much of an issue, since most people voluntarily keep their hair neat and conservatively styled.
In 2005, however, the government waged war against men with long hair, calling them unhygienic anti-socialist fools and directing them to wear their hair "socialist style." It derided shabbily coifed men as "blind followers of bourgeois lifestyle." The country's state-run Central TV even identified violators by name and address, exposing them to jeers from other citizens.
The hair campaign, dubbed "Let's trim our hair according to socialist lifestyle," required that hair be kept no longer than 5 centimeters (2 inches). Older men received a small exemption to allow comb-overs.
The campaign claimed long hair hampers brain activity by taking oxygen away from nerves in the head. It didn't explain why women were allowed to grow long hair.
With women's hair, too, there have been misperceptions.
Photos of suggested hairstyles posted outside women's hair salons — the kind allow a customer to show her hairdresser what she wants — are regularly depicted by foreign media as showing the only sanctioned styles North Korean women can choose from.
Not true. But don't tell that to the Internet.

On the big screen this summer the superheroes rule again. Already the third installment of Iron Man has soared to new heights with a billion dollar (and still counting) global box office and soon the highly anticipated Man of Steel by director Zack Snyder will bring Superman back into the theaters with a grittier and more modern edge. This time Henry Cavill plays the superhero with Russell Crowe as his Krypton father and Kevin Costner and Diane Lane as the Kansas parents who adopt him. The library's DVD collections are an excellent place to catch up on superhero movies that you may have missed or may want to see again. You will find all three of the recent Dark Knight films starring Christian Bale as a brooding and conflicted Batman as well as the very successful Marvel Comics films including Thor, Captain America and last year's box office winner, The Avengers. Because of their popularity and newness finding copies of these DVDs may be a challenge at times but do not despair. There are plenty of other superhero movies and television series to check out while you wait for the latest blockbuster to come in.
A search for Superman DVDs in the library's online catalog results in 33 hits. There are many animated features and at least one of the classic films starring Christopher Reeve. Since this summer's film tells the origin story of Clark Kent, an outsider trying to fit in despite his alien heritage, maybe it is a good time to watch the television series Smallville. This long running series starring Tom Welling followed the teenage Clark as he discovered his powers and struggled to understand his destiny. The library has several copies of this and other television series.
As a child my brother and I always argued over who was the better superhero, Batman or Superman. I liked Superman because he had such awesome powers but my brother thought Batman was better because he always caught the bad guy by using his brains and expensive toys. If Batman is your favorite then you are lucky. There are 28 DVD titles in the catalog related to Batman including the 1966 film Batman: The Movie based on the classic TV series with Adam West as Batman and Burt Ward as Robin. Who needs Christian Bale and his gloomy Dark Knight when, "Holy Retro Batman!" you revel in the colorful BLAM! KAPOW! from the groovy Sixties?
Superman and Batman are not the only superheroes who have been reinterpreted over the years. Don't forget about the big green "don't get him angry" science experiment known as The Incredible Hulk. The library has copies of both the 2003 film, The Hulk starring Eric Bana and directed by Oscar winner Ang Lee and the 2008, The Incredible Hulk with Edward Norton. Compare these takes on the reluctant superhero with Mark Ruffalo's Hulk in last year's The Avengers. Get ready for a new Hulk movie by 2016. For some of us Bill Bixby's low-key and thoughtful portrayal from the 1970s and 80s television series will always be the true Dr. David Banner.
Finally there is always Spidey. A search for Spiderman in the library's catalog also pulls up multiple titles including last year's reboot of the franchise, The Amazing Spiderman, starring Andrew Garfield as Peter Parker, a less anguished and more high tech version of the super teen. If you were a big fan of Tobey Maguire's portrayal, never fear, the library has all three of his films as well. Did he really first play the role almost 10 years ago?
Check out all of these super titles and many more at the library this summer.

HATTIESBURG – First-year students in the Pearl River Community College dental hygiene program brightened the smiles of 25 kids from the Salvation Army Boys and Girls Club of Hattiesburg.
The students and children took part Friday, Feb. 1, in the annual Give Kids A Smile event sponsored by the South Mississippi Dental Society and PRCC.
The PRCC students cleaned and polished each child's teeth and made sure they know the proper technique for brushing and flossing. A dentist then checked the PRCC students' work and examined the children's teeth.
"The main reason we participate is to give back to the community," said Dr. Shana Allen, director of the PRCC program. "It's also a wonderful learning experience for our students."
Six-year-old Rory Hall Jr., a student at Lillie Burney Elementary School, used a hand mirror to watch what PRCC student Cindy Nguyen of St. Martin was doing inside his mouth.
"I like her washing my teeth," he said.
PRCC and area dentists have partnered on Give Kids A Smile for nine years, said Dr. Lana Clarke of Hattiesburg, coordinator for the dental society.
"It is basically a way for us to reach out to the community and try to make a difference," she said.
PRCC provides the hygienists and the clinic while the dental society provides supplies and dentists. Dr. Bill Tolbert of Hattiesburg also assisted with the exams.
For more information on the PRCC dental hygiene program or to make an appointment at the clinic, telephone 601 554-5509.

Jolie Holland
Artist information
On her fourth studio album, Jolie Holland embraces the live-studio rock approach of the 60's and 70's, and transforms it with her unmistakable touch. Loosely inspired by Neil Young's Zuma, with nods to The Velvet Underground, the Stones, and Bowie, this playful dialogue gives way to Holland's most grounded work. Some of the lyrics were written tipsy on a train, others out of a trance state–every one drawn from the seemingly bottomless well of her muse. From the electrified sidling ode of "Gold and Yellow," through the outright violence of "Remember," to "Rex's Blues"–a devastating Townes Van Zandt rendition, Holland's inspirations and evolving aesthetic ring bell-clear in every song. Her complete vision for this album is evident from the songs' sound to the handwritten liner notes; even the record's cover is a watercolor painted by the artist herself.
As with the Living and the Dead, Holland co-produced this record in partnership with Shahzad Ismaily. Pint of Blood was similarly recorded in New York studios, as well as in private spaces, thanks to Shahzad's consumate and highly creative engineering skills. Ismaily accompanies her on every song (drums, percussion, bass, back up singing, synthesizers, and very fine guitar work), with Grey Gersten adding his unique palette of electric guitar tones to many of the tracks. On the B side, guitar genius Mark Ribot joins Ismaily and Holland on her hallucinatory masterpiece "The Devil's Sake." Of Marc's playing on that piece, Holland notes "when he stepped in, I realized no side player had ever understood the ins and outs of that song before him."
The album was mixed in Portland, Oregon at Adam Selzer's Type Foundary. The mix was executed by a triple team of Adam Selzer, Jolie Holland and Grey Gersten, with Shahzad on skype from Iceland giving his invaluable opinion here and there. At one point, they were graced by the presence of American musical luminary, Michael Hurley. Bopping out on the couch while listening to a mix of "Honey Girl," Hurley declared, "Now you're swimming. This is experimental. But it's a successful experiment."
In the third track she promises: "what I lost in a broken sphere/ I'll find in a tender mirror/in the love from the heart." Listeners will find their own lost parts in her voice, which captures the unnameable more succinctly than ever. She croons of the hardest kinds of love and most aching choices, along with the light and lovely. These ten songs are rich with moments to savor –evoking memories of moonlit fields, past lovers, and the childhood dream of summer. As always, her lyrics speak transparent and true as tender mirrors themselves. The mermaid adorning the album's cover is an apt symbol for Holland's work: a magical coupling of disparate tones. Pint of Blood is, as that old book says, as wise as serpents and as innocent as doves.

(1) How can she do her job as vice-president and take care of her kids?Because Obama has kids, so the only way to ask the question is with an anti-feminist assumption. Obama supporters are tempted to make a Down Syndrome distinction and to emphasize that the decision to have the child entails a commitment to spend extra time on it, but that only forefronts the disagreement about abortion -- for her, there was no choice -- and highlights the harsh reality that (some of those) who accept abortion think it's a good idea to discriminate against the (unborn) disabled. None of that is very pretty. And yet, planting seeds of doubt is all that is needed. You can believe that an anti-feminist argument is wrong and even think that it will trigger a strong counter-argument and still think it might work as it plants doubts in some voters' minds and decide to do it anyway, because that's how much you want to win. Just look at the doubts the Clinton campaign tried plant about Obama in minds that they must have hoped had a place where racial prejudice could grow.
(2) What makes anyone think that Palin has enough experience to be "one heartbeat from the presidency?"Because it points up that Obama, with his corresponding lack of experience would actually be the President.
(3) Is Sarah Palin's church/pastor nutty?Because McCain supporters would love to bring back good old Jeremiah Wright -- American chickenssssssss and all.
Bernstein's points are good. And yet, Bernstein supports McCain, right? Why is it a McCain supporter who is giving this advice. Why should Obama supporters take this any more seriously than they take the bogus advice they are dispensing about how Palin ought to drop out for her own good?
ADDED: Bernstein isn't a declared supporter of McCain's.

It's nice to be reacquainted with lutong bahay or home cooking when you've eaten too many restaurant meals.:-D
On spotlight this week: a delicious menudo dish that you can cook for 10 minutes or less. It was created by Unilever Food Solutions corporate sous chef John Paul Sia for the SM Master Chefs Cooking Marathon 2011.
I couldn't help munching on this menudo which is prepared "tapas" style – ergo, can be eaten even without rice. Emphasis is on long marination (overnight), using less sauce and choosing a meat cut (pork tenderloin) that can be sauteed for only three minutes each side. The addition of chorizo bilbao gives this dish Spanish flavor.
Chef John Paul made his cooking demo at the custom-built kitchen of SM Hypermarket Sucat.We do our groceries in this branch! It's a nice idea of the Hypermarket group to devote precious floor space to a demonstration kitchen where their shoppers can learn cooking tips and recipes from the masters.
The chef also prepared a variation of a beef adobo dish that can be done in 6 minutes, with proper marination beforehand. The trick is to use a beef sukiyaki cut so it can cook easily. Here's the finished version:

Stikwood: The New Peel and Stick Wood Paneling
Almost everyone has a wall that doesn't look right, or a table, or the back of a kitchen island. Maybe it's an empty bedroom wall that makes the room look cold. Maybe it's a drab beige office wall. Maybe it's an old IKEA table that has seen better days. Perhaps you've been looking for a way to bring natural, harmonizing elements into your space, but you just haven't figured it out.
I just discovered Stikwood, and I think it is a brilliant solution to all of the above situations. With Stikwood, any room can look like it has artisanal bespoke reclaimed wood, or smooth bamboo, walls built by an earnest San Francisco carpenter. Don't have a remodeled condo in the Mission? Ha ha, neither do I. But with the help of Stikwood, our own apartments and condos can have that look.
Stikwood is, in plain language, 1/8 inch thick wooden planks that can be affixed to a clean, sanded surface with adhesive strips that are factory-mounted on their flip sides. While not a total beginner's project (the planks need to be cut down to size with a power saw), "the world's first peel and stick solid wall planking" is certainly easier to install than regular wood paneling.
Like bead board wallpaper, Stikwood is able to create the illusion of custom trim woodwork, for a fraction of the price and time. Sourced and manufactured in the USA, it's a pretty green product. The company claims that Stikwood products are VOC free, great for people with allergies or sensitivities to scents, which can be triggered by remodelers using noxious adhesives and paints.
The photos of customers' projects on Stikwood's Pinterest board are pretty inspiring. One customer used Stikwood to cover the back side of a kitchen island. Another totally changed the look of a living room by covering a wall with it. Another customer framed a fireplace with it (it's flammable like all wood; it appears that the fireplace is not in use).
Have you tried Stikwood? I'm excited about trying it myself. With so many possible DIY applications and a fairly reasonable price, Stikwood is an attractive new material to work with.

Modern romance
Go, get strong.
Well don't you know,
there is no modern romance."
— "Modern Romance," Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Tuesday morning rose misty and warm, with flecks of sunlight burning through the cracks in a disintegrating ceiling of clouds. I packed up my Camelbak the way I did back in July, with just a light shell and gloves, extra socks, my GPS, and water. I held my camera in my hands, wavering on whether or not I should stuff it in the outer pocket. Maybe, maybe just this once, I thought, I should leave it behind. Maybe this one will be a quiet trek. I won't tell anyone, and I won't have any evidence I was there. It will be a secret.
I stuffed my camera in the pack, just in case, and set out into the promising morning with the same sense of irresistible anticipation and cautious reserve I have been feeling recently in other areas of my life. I thought again about leaving the camera behind. Already, some of my friends have been hinting that I have a problem. That I spend too much time in the mountains. That I have only just emerged from a very long, committed thing (a-hem ... the Tour Divide), and in my drive to get back out there, and the overzealous way I am going about it, I may be setting myself up for a long fall.
"It's not so much about being tired," my friend said as I told her about my Sheep Mountain trek and how I've been feeling a little under the weather ever since, but can't seem to stop as long as the actual weather is nice. "What do you even think about when you're out there alone, just out in the woods with the bears and wolves, for like seven hours all the time? Aren't you scared? Don't you go crazy?"
And all I could think of the answer is, "I don't know. I think about everything, I guess. That's really the only time I have to think." But why has it been so hard for me to decipher what "everything" actually is? All of the time I've spent stomping through the mountains lately, I've had a lot of time to sift through the pieces of my life, to look for ways I can fit them together in a puzzle that makes the most sense and makes me the most happy. And all I seem to have found is a flight of ideas surrounded by exhilaration in the high country, transforming flawlessly to fear when I am back in the low country. The ideas feel something like love up high, something like insanity down low, and the pieces stay scattered. As I come down, I cling to appreciation for the "regular" life I have, and the new friendships I've found, and mountains.
"Time, time is gone.
It stops stops who it wants.
Well i was wrong ...
it never lasts ...
there is no ...
this is no modern romance."
So I thought about keeping it a secret that I was heading up Thunder Mountain on a tranquil Tuesday morning. After all, I can hardly complain about achy muscles if I am the one who keeps pounding them into the ground. It could just be me and the mountain, a quiet October morning, where instead of gathering and analyzing the pieces of my life, I could just scatter them in the gentle breeze. But as I worked my way up the mountainside, hands clasped around the exposed roots of 100-foot-tall Sitka spruce trees that filtered flecks of sunlight down their moss-coated trunks, exhilaration started to take over again. Confidence swelled, and in those perfect photogenic moments, I believe I could do it, all of it: living the dream, the cabin, the writing, the trips to Nigeria and Banff, the skiing, the winter bike touring, the freedom, the unhindered freedom. There are so many chances out there waiting to be taken, so many feelings ready to be exposed.
Clouds floated along the edges of the ridge, which looked more like a rolling, Midwestern prairie than a mountain top. I like this world because it is so close, but so different than mine. I love this world because it is mine. Every time I'm really tempted to mix things up, all I need to do is come up here and realize that I actually have it pretty good. Still, the empty spaces remain. Some of my married, parenting friends have expressed envy at my freewheeling, single-girl lifestyle, which on its margins must appear to be all fun and hottie potential, with no room for dull responsibility. And, of course, I look at the margins of their lives and I want what they have - partnership and love. Why would anyone want more? Why do people always think they want more?
But up in the mountains, above the confusion and contradiction, it's easy to condense what I know about life and love. I know life is short and hard. I know love is long and abstract. I know I want to experience both to the very edges, the very heights of my abilities, because I know, in the end, they're all I have. But I know fear is powerful and pain is unbearable, and those two things will battle life and love, always. And as the battle rages on, I know it will be difficult to fight when there is so much I do not know. If I am brutally honest with myself, I know that right now there are just two things about life and love that I actually do know:
I know I love mountains. And I know they do not love me back.

I think this is your best. post. ever. Maybe it is bc I am struggling, one of those people always wanting/wondering is there more? I have a wonderful husband, love living in the area I do, a job I like quite a bit and I pretty much define the majority of my work...but still...is this happiness? Is this all there is ? Is there something wrong with me in that I feel a need to move professionally? "What if the hokey pokey is REALLY what it is all about"?ReplyDelete
You need to live the life you feel you are called to live. Many won't understand, most out of envy, some just out of ignorance of what this life truly brings to us while we are living it as called to!
Awesome post today (and lately as well!)
And those mountains love you as much as they love, probably even more!
I think it's awesome that you're doing the hiking thing. You know your window is short, the scenery superb and ped is the superior mode for getting up there and out there.ReplyDelete
This Daumal quote has great meaning for me and I think you live by it:
You cannot stay on the summit forever; you have to come down again. So why bother in the first place? Just this: What is above knows what is below, but what is below does not know what is above. One climbs, one sees. One descends, one sees no longer, but one has seen. There is an art of conducting oneself in the lower regions by the memory of what one saw higher up. When one can no longer see, one can at least still know.
- Rene Daumal

Beautiful post.ReplyDelete
Very fine post.ReplyDelete
Life goes by in stages, and we live life most fully when we learn to appreciate each stage for what it brings. In my life, I've tended to constantly yearn for the next stage, only to look back and realize the joys I didn't fully explore in the stages past.ReplyDelete
I really enjoy your pictures. I love mountains and spend way too much time gazing at your pictures...the way the mountain ranges dam up the clouds until they spill through the gaps like a waterfall, the interplay of colors, and the crispness of the snow. I've gotten to the point that now I can relate some of the views to others, realizing that this one was taken just around the mountainside from that one, or it's the same view but at a higher elevetion, etc. PLEASE keep packing the camera!
Simply lovely post.ReplyDelete

That it one of the best closing sentences I've ever read, and so very true.ReplyDelete
You are not the only one who finds solace in solitude and confusion back on planet earth. There are others of us out here who's lives seem like so much magic and fairy dust to our friends and to ourselves just seem tiring and complicated except when we are on the road.
Thanks for sharing your life with us - the mountains may not love you, but your readers can't wait to see what you find up on the next ridge.

Thank you for a beautiful post...and the pictures.ReplyDelete
What an excellent post. I agree that it's the best that I've read so far. Keep the camera and take those pictures. Back in the day when I was doing serious backpacking I never minded carrying the camera and all the film (kind of dates me)because I knew the scenery was going to be beautiful. Now the tripod, well..... But the photos are great as you have a good eye and can frame them nicely. But as I always say, when you're in the mountains can you take a bad shot?ReplyDelete
Beautiful, Jill.ReplyDelete
yes they do, just not in a socially recognized way. It almost goes back to native ways... having a reverence for the land which is given back by your solace up there.ReplyDelete
One day I hiked to the bottom of the Grand Canyon and back up in one shot. The overall lesson I learned was that the canyon doesn't care...ReplyDelete
A truly thought provoking post which causes me to reflect on my own life. Typically when I read your posts as one the first things I do when I bring up my computer at work and ease into my work day, - I get caught up at the beautiful scenery; read about the adventure and get a sense that my life is slipping away and I need to spend more time in the wild. As is, I spend as much time in the mountains as my work life allows and gear my social life around outdoor adventures. Yet I always feel I need to get out there more.ReplyDelete
We all choose our own paths, whether it's adventures in the mountains or nurturing a family. In each path chosen a fellow traveler's companionship multiplies the joys and sorrows along the journey. May we all come across and welcome those who are traveling the same paths as our own. I end an overly wordy comment with a quote -
"You are worried about seeing him spend his early years in doing nothing. What! Is it nothing to be happy? Nothing to skip, play, and run around all day long? Never in his life will he be so busy again." ~Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Emile, 1762
AucillaSinks: great quote!ReplyDelete
you touched me.
Fantastic post!ReplyDelete
Please never: leave your camera at home or lose your sense of adventure and wonder.
beautifully said and so honest.ReplyDelete
First of all, just because you spend a few weeks hiking doesn't mean you're becoming a hermit.ReplyDelete
Secondly, Why do you have to do one or be the other? Sometimes in life we have to choose black or white, sometimes the gray area can be confusing or dangerous; but most often, we just need some balance in our lives.
I think as long as we are trying to be better people, and trying to help other people we can call that a life well lived.

You've got the desire, fitness and fearlessness to continually go up into the mountains, taking advantage of good/reasonable weather while it lasts and before the snow covers all of those beautiful colors. No wonder you are up there so much. Being a person who really likes my own time to do what I like to do and doesn't mind being alone with my own thoughts I can appreciate and respect how you spend your spare time. Keep on doing it, obviously it's doing your soul some good and the photos are great.ReplyDelete
How can you be so sure the mountains do not love you? Are they not always there waiting for you to come?ReplyDelete

Great last sentence, and I believe, so true. Great post. How do you do it?ReplyDelete
Whoa. Incredible post, incredible pictures. That last sentence brought tears to my eyes.ReplyDelete

What a brave, open and honest post, Jill.ReplyDelete
I suspect life is different things to different people, but the fact that you are so aware of the battle to define and decide your own path through it means you're probably doing it right.
And you write so beautifully that we are all entranced.
(And the photos are pretty good too!!)
Whatever path you take from here, if you approach it with the passion and lively intelligence you show us here regularly, it will be a wonderful life.
they do love you back - just silently.ReplyDelete
p.s. not that i'm old enough to truly put my two cents in - but so far in my experience love is short and hard, and life is long and abstract
p.p.s. i'm still on a mother f'n boat though ;-)

I think we have all moments like these. Norman Maclean, "I am haunted by water."
I also think we all have these times in our lives, times that challenge who we think we are, what we think we know about ourselves, how we have defined ourselves, or how others have defined us. Is there an answer, I don't know.
Does this happen just once in a person's life, I don't know that, either. But it is a struggle to maintain ones identity in the face of these challenges.
And it never gets any easier.
They must love you because I have the same camera and the mountains never strike such come hither poses for meReplyDelete
Great post - great pics

whoa - getting kind of dramatic on the whole life/love/mountains thing. Since you're fond of quoting songs, how about this one - "You're taking it all too hard". Life is for living, (some) people are for loving and the mountains are for playing. Ease up, don't take things so seriously, and for philosophy I recommend googling Mr. Natural on the meaning of life. He has a very Zen like attitude.ReplyDelete
So glad I read your blog today. I totally identify with all of it. Tale careReplyDelete
Your comment "I know I love mountains. And I know they do not love me back" is an interesting variation of Lou Whittaker's famous quote "Just because you love the mountains doesn't mean the montains love you"ReplyDelete
Brilliant last two paragraphs, Jill.ReplyDelete

Arise then...women of this day!Arise, all women who have hearts!Whether your baptism be of water or of tears!Say firmly:"We will not have questions answered by irrelevant agencies,Our husbands will not come to us, reeking with carnage,For caresses and applause.Our sons shall not be taken from us to unlearnAll that we have been able to teach them of charity, mercy and patience.We, the women of one country,Will be too tender of those of another countryTo allow our sons to be trained to injure theirs."From the voice of a devastated Earth a voice goes up withOur own. It says: "Disarm! Disarm!The sword of murder is not the balance of justice."Blood does not wipe our dishonor,Nor violence indicate possession.As men have often forsaken the plough and the anvilAt the summons of war,Let women now leave all that may be left of homeFor a great and earnest day of counsel.Let them meet first, as women, to bewail and commemorate the dead.Let them solemnly take counsel with each other as to the meansWhereby the great human family can live in peace...Each bearing after his own time the sacred impress, not of Caesar,But of God –
In the name of womanhood and humanity, I earnestly askThat a general congress of women without limit of nationality,May be appointed and held at someplace deemed most convenientAnd the earliest period consistent with its objects,To promote the alliance of the different nationalities,The amicable settlement of international questions,The great and general interests of peace.

They're battling in courtrooms, and could one day meet over a bargaining table. About the only things the two sides in the debate over big-time college athletics agree on is that things are changing.
Schools bringing in hundreds of millions in television contracts. Coaches making kind of salaries that the late UCLA legend John Wooden wouldn't recognize. Athletes insisting on rights, if not outright cash.
And now a union for football players at Northwestern that would previously have been unthinkable in college sports.
A ruling that the Northwestern football team can bargain with the school as employees represented by a union may not by itself change the way amateur sports operate. But it figures to put more pressure on the NCAA and the major conferences to give something back to the players to justify the billions of dollars the players bring in — and never see.
"While improvements need to be made, we do not need to completely throw away a system that has helped literally millions of students over the past decade alone attend college," The NCAA said in a statement.
There's huge money at stake — nearly $18 billion alone just in television rights for the NCAA basketball tournament and bowl games. Already fighting a flurry of antitrust lawsuits challenging its control of college athletics, the NCAA can't afford too many more defeats.
"This is a colossal victory for student athletes coming on the heels of their recent victories," said Marc Edelman, an associate professor of law at City University of New York who specializes in sports and antitrust law. "It seems not only the tide of public sentiment but also the tide of legal rulings has finally turned in the direction of college athletes and against the NCAA."
For the NCAA, the timing of a National Labor Relations Board opinion allowing a union at Northwestern couldn't have been worse. In the middle of a tournament that earns schools close to $1 billion a year, it is being taken to task not only for not paying players, but for not ensuring their health and future welfare.
Add in revelations like Florida coach Billy Donovan's new $3.7 million-a-year contract and the $18,000 bonus that Ohio State athletic director Gene Smith got for one of the school's wrestlers winning an NCAA title, and some are frustrated with the NCAA's contention that everything it does is done for the benefit of athletes who play for the glory of their school.
"Fifty years ago the NCAA invented the term student-athlete to try and make sure this day never came," said former UCLA linebacker Ramogi Huma, the designated president of Northwestern's would-be football players' union. "Northwestern players who stood up for their rights took a giant step for justice. It's going to set a precedent for college players across the nation to do the same."
The players currently at Northwestern may have already graduated by the time the team gets a chance to bargain — if it ever does.
According to federal law, Northwestern football players have 30 days from Wednesday's decision to vote on whether to authorize the College Athletes Players Association, or CAPA, to represent them. But Northwestern is expected to appeal the landmark ruling to the National Labor Relations Board by an April 9 deadline, potentially stalling the union vote. The NCAA is also likely to continue to fight the description of college athletes as employees.
"We frequently hear from student-athletes, across all sports, that they participate to enhance their overall college experience and for the love of their sport, not to be paid," the NCAA said in a statement.
It was that love of the sport that drew outgoing Wildcats quarterback Kain Colter — as well as a scholarship worth up to about $75,000 annually. But Colter, backed by lawyers with the United Steelworkers union, began the union push after growing disenchanted with the time demands placed on him in football that forced him to drop his plans to go to medical school.
Colter also worried about the long-term health risks of football long after players have left school. Players have said they want more research into concussions and other traumatic injuries and insurance and guarantees that they will be covered for medical issues later in life. They also want money for continuing education and for schools to offer four-year scholarship deals instead of year-to-year pacts.
"If we are making sacrifices like we are, we should have these basic protections taken care of," Colter told ESPN. "With the sacrifices we make athletically, medically and with our bodies, we need to be taken care of."
One day that could mean money, over and above the $2,000 extra annual stipend that NCAA president Mark Emmert proposed but failed to get implemented over the objections of small-budget schools. There's plenty to go around, with a $10.6 billion contract for television rights to the NCAA basketball tournament and a recent $7.2 billion deal for football bowl games.
The NLRB ruling described how the life of a Northwestern football player is far more regimented than that of a typical student, down to requirements about what they can eat and whether they can live off campus or purchase a car. At times, players put 50 or 60 hours a week into football, the ruling said, qualifying them to be treated as employees of the university and eligible for a union.
By itself, the ruling could be little more than an irritant to private universities and the NCAA. But combined with the antitrust lawsuits — one filed just last week by a prominent attorney called the organization an "unlawful cartel" — they present a clear challenge to the unique way college sports operates.
The model of coaches and administrators making millions while the athletes providing the labor are paid in room and board and books is one that could be difficult to defend in court.
One of those suits, filed by former UCLA basketball star Ed O'Bannon, is scheduled for trial June 9 in California and is being carefully watched by those on both sides of the issue. O'Bannon, who led his team to the national championship in 1995, sued after seeing his likeness in a video game licensed by the NCAA without his permission.
"It's never been about monetary gain," O'Bannon told The Associated Press earlier this week. "It's all about changing the rules and making sure the players, both present and former, are represented as well."

It was their expressions that were surprising.
"People don't think this war has any impact on Americans? Well here it is," Berman says of the image of a somber bride staring blankly, unsmiling at the camera, her war-ravaged groom alongside her, his head down.
"This was even more shocking because we're used to this kind of over-the-top joy that feels a little put on, and then you see this picture where they look like survivors of something really serious," Berman added.
The photograph that won a first place prize in the World Press Photos Award contest will stand out from other battlefield images in an exhibit "WAR/PHOTOGRAPHY: Images of Armed Conflict and Its Aftermath" that debuts Sunday -- Veterans Day -- in the Houston Museum of Fine Arts. From there, the exhibit will travel to The Annenberg Space for Photography in Los Angeles, the Corcoran Gallery of Art in Washington and The Brooklyn Museum in Brooklyn, N.Y.
The exhibit was painstakingly built by co-curators Anne Wilkes Tucker and Will Michels after the museum purchased a print of the famous picture of the raising of the flag at Iwo Jima, taken Feb. 23, 1945, by Associated Press photographer Joe Rosenthal. The curators decided the museum didn't have enough conflict photos, Tucker said, and in 2004, the pair began traveling around the country and the world in search of pictures.
Over nearly eight years and after viewing more than 1 million pictures, Tucker and Michels created an exhibit that includes 480 objects, including photo albums, original magazines and old cameras, by 280 photographers from 26 countries.
Some are well-known -- such as the Rosenthal's picture and another AP photograph, of a naked girl running from a napalm attack during the Vietnam War taken in 1972 by Huynh Cong "Nick" Ut. Others, such as the Incinerated Iraqi, of a man's burned body seen through the shattered windshield of his car, will be new to most viewers.
"The point of all the photographs is that when a conflict occurs, it lingers," Tucker said.
The pictures hang on stark gray walls, and some are in small rooms with warning signs at the entrance designed to allow visitors to decide whether they want to view images that can be brutal in their honesty.
"It's something that we did to that man. Americans did it, we did it intentionally and it's a haunting picture," Michels said of the image of the burned Iraqi that hangs inside one of the rooms.
In some images, such as Don McCullin's picture of a U.S. Marine throwing a grenade at a North Vietnamese soldier in Hue, it is clear the photographer was in danger when immortalizing the moment. Looking at his image, McCullin recalled deciding to travel to Hue instead of Khe Sahn, as he had initially planned.
"It was the best decision I ever made," he said, smiling slightly as he looked at the picture, explaining that he took a risk by standing behind the Marine.
"This hand took a bullet, shattered it. It looked like a cauliflower," he said, pointing to the still-upraised hand that threw the grenade. "So the people he was trying to kill were trying to kill him."
McCullin, who worked at that time for The Sunday Times in London, has covered conflicts all over the world, from Lebanon and Israel to Biafra. Now 77, McCullin says he wonders, still, whether the hundreds of photos he's taken have been worthwhile. At times, he said, he lost faith in what he was doing because when one war ends, another begins.
Yet he believes journalists and photographers must never stop telling about the "waste of man in war."
"After seeing so much of it, I'm tired of thinking, `Why aren't the people who rule our lives ... getting it?' " McCullin said, adding that he'd like to drag them all into the exhibit for an hour.
Berman didn't see the conflicts unfold. Instead, she waited for the wounded to come home, seeking to tell a story about war's aftermath.
Her project on the wounded developed in 2003. The Iraq War was at its height, and there was still no database, she said, to find names of wounded warriors returning home. So she scoured local newspapers on the Internet.
In 2004 she published a book called "Purple Hearts" that includes photographs taken over nine months of 20 different people. All were photographed at home, not in hospitals where, she said, "there's this expectation that this will all work out fine."
The curators, meanwhile, chose to tell the story objectively -- refusing through the images they chose or the exhibit they prepared to take a pro- or anti-war stance, a decision that has invited criticism and sparked debate.
And maybe, that is the point. ------------------------------------------------

PATH_TRANSLATED is handy when using Apache's ModRewrite engine, as it gives you the name and path of the resulting file rather than the one that was requested by the user. Since PHP 5.0 and Apache 2 no longer support this variable, I created a workaround by adding an environment variable to my ModRewrite command:
RewriteRule ^/test/(.*)\.php(.*) /test/prefix_$1.php$2
RewriteRule ^/test/(.*)\.php(.*) /test/prefix_$1.php$2 [E=TARGET:prefix_$1.php]
I could then find out the resulting file name through the super global $_ENV, for instance:
echo "The actual filename is ".$_ENV['REDIRECT_TARGET'];
Note: The "REDIRECT_" prefix appears to be allocated automatically by ModRewrite.
