No Words 2003 CD $12.
Indiana Stick player Chris Crain brings us his second CD release with "No Words". The solo Stick CD is a collection of twelve pieces. Seven of the pieces are originals and the rest are a collection of covers from a diverse group of artists including Pat Metheny, Santana and Vince Guaraldi.
No Words is yet another in that group of records that stands as a testimonial to the pristine sound of the instrument itself with no added tracks or effects. Right from the opening bars of "End of Summer", Crain delivers a smooth execution of all the selections from his 10-string Stick with the standard Stickup™ module. The selections provide a variety of rhythms to choose from with ballads, latin jazz, and the walking bass groove of "Believe Me". The ballads Chris performs on this recording are particularly nice. The CD wraps up with the two-handed bass punch of the tune "Busy Body".

Former Bihar Chief Minister and Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) president Lalu Prasad Yadav on Friday took a swipe at Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar after the state was adjudged to be the worst performer in the NITI Aayog's Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) index 2020-21.
"Nitish is full of negativity. He closed down several health centres opened during my tenure as Chief Minister of Bihar and converted them into ghost houses and various school buildings have turned into garages. It is only because of this that Bihar has ranked the top from the bottom in the NITI Ayog report. The so-called double engine (government) has turned into trouble engine," Lalu Parsad wrote in a tweet in Hindi.
Leader of Opposition Tejashwi Prasad Yadav hit out at Nitish Kumar.
"Bihar has been placed at the bottom for the third consecutive year. This sums up the 16-year BJP-Nitish rule's progress on paper," Tejashwi tweeted.
Responding to Lalu and Tejashwi's statements, Janata Dal (United) leader and spokesperson of the party Rajeev Ranjan said, "Well now Lalu Yadav is talking on Niti Aayog. He forgot his tenure when people of India were only talking about the crimes in Bihar."
He added, "Yes, I accept but if Bihar had special status then the situation of Bihar would have been different and for this situation of Bihar RJD and Congress are responsible."
RJD senior leader Shivanand Tiwari reacting to the remarks said "Jharkhand's ranking is better than Bihar because Nitish didn't do anything for Bihar, no schools, no industry, no roads so how will Bihar get better ranking."
BJP leader and spokesperson Ajit Choudhary said, "Now Lalu Yadav has no work to do so he is giving unnecessary 'gyan'. I think he forget his regime and when his uneducated wife became the Chief Minister of Bihar. What happened at that time?"
In the latest index, released on Thursday, Kerala retained the top rank with a score of 75, while Bihar was adjudged to be the worst-performing state with a score of 52.

Aaron Portzline from the Columbus Dispatch dropped a (predictable) bomb on Blue Jackets fans and curious NHL onlookers tonight revealing that young and über-talented Russian forward Nikita Filatov is working out an agreement to head back to Russia.
Jackets general manager Scott Howson would not comment on a potential agreement allowing the 19-year-old Filatov to return to his former club team, CSKA Moscow. Nothing has been finalized, however, and Filatov and the Blue Jackets are expected to talk again today about the possibility of staying in Columbus.
To say this has been a bit of an ugly situation in Columbus would be downplaying things a bit. Filatov has been unhappy with his ice time this year and he's been a healthy scratch more often than not lately. When he has been in the lineup for the BJs, Filatov has averaged a little over 8 minutes a game and has played with the fourth line. That's no way to treat a highly touted, highly talented 19 year-old future star.
Filatov made it known in the off-season that his plans were to stay in Columbus all year and get things done in the NHL at the age of 19. From that interview with Puck Daddy's Dmitry Chesnokov, a couple of things stand out:
I have been working very hard this summer. Nothing should stand in the way of me getting into the NHL. Ideally, I have to break into the second line where there is more ice time; you play more on special teams.
And this:
What is holding you in America?
When I was 18 I made a decision to play in the NHL. This decision did not come easy. But what is the point of backing off now? It would make more sense if I didn't play well. But everything is going good for me right now across the ocean.
If he's heading off to Russia, things have changed dramatically with Filatov and it's head coach Ken Hitchcock that has to be the focus of everything here. Filatov, to say the least, is a natural born scorer and a guy whom the word "defense" will never apply to, at least at his age now. That won't (and hasn't) sit well with the uptight Hitchcock who wants his team to play a lockdown brand of hockey ripe with back-checking and grinding galore.
Nikita Filatov in a Russian uniform. Get used to it.
Filatov is a sniper, a dangler, a goalie faker. He was drafted two years ago (6th overall 2008 NHL Draft) for his sheer offensive ability and talents, something Columbus was severely lacking in their system but now the team, with Hitchcock's ideal lineup in there is off to the best start in franchise history and Filatov basically hasn't had a hand in any of that whatsoever and his growth is being stunted because of it.
Sending him back to Syracuse to play wouldn't do any good because he's already proven his talent is being wasted after racking up 32 points (16 goals, 16 assists) in 39 games there last year. What more does he have to prove to the Blue Jackets? According to what some folks around the team are saying, Ken Hitchcock isn't satisfied with that. Just a few weeks ago, Hitchcock had this to say about Filatov's game:
"I don't think Filatov's game is going to be awake for a long time. He's in that adjustment phase right now, that survival phase. He did his job when he got back in the lineup in Edmonton. That's why he played again Saturday (in Anaheim). All the things we wanted him to do to be an NHL player, he's tried like crazy to do them. He's in the lineup now, so hopefully we're off and running."
Apparently he is off and running… Back home to Russia where he can play more than eight minutes a game with guys who might be better than Jared Boll and Mike Blunden (ed. note: Who the fuck is Mike Blunden?). OK so after looking at the translated CSKA Moscow roster, perhaps playing at home for more ice time is a better draw than the teammates. Maybe Filatov got to be a big fan of Mark Hartigan's while playing in the AHL. Whatever.
The key here is that yet another highly talented offensive Russian first-round pick of the Blue Jackets is now ready to get the hell out of the NHL (Nikolai Zherdev being the first) and while a lot people seem to agree that Filatov is both mentally stronger and more talented than Zherdev, it's a bit surprising (and disturbing) that one organization has screwed the pooch twice with how to handle a talented Russian forward.
While blame can be assigned to both Zherdev and Columbus management equally and finger-pointing can go on forever for that situation and failure, the case with Filatov can be thrown squarely on Ken Hitchcock for why Filatov has been buried and now, apparently, frustrated off to Russia. Hitchcock is firmly a part of the "No fun police" as far as offensive talent goes. His teams are classically boring even in spite of often having supreme top-end talent All you have to do is look back to Mike Modano and Brett Hull in Dallas, Jeremy Roenick and Simon Gagne in Philadelphia and now Rick Nash in Columbus. His teams in all three places are loaded with grinders and they forecheck and trap in a suffocating way, so having a naturally offensively talented dangler isn't an optimum piece of the puzzle – especially one that just wants to fire shots on the net.
Handling older veterans is one thing, but trying to hammer it home to a young kid that shooting and scoring all the time isn't what the game is all about… Well, you can see how that would get to be very frustrating, especially when the team drafted you to do just that.
Filatov is going to be a dynamic scorer in the NHL but he's got to be on the right team to make it happen and right now with everything clicking well enough for Columbus and the brand of hockey they want to play, it's pretty clear that Filatov isn't in Hitchcock's plans, something that doesn't sit well with Columbus' general manager Scott Howson doesn't like at all. I mean he did draft him and he knows what kind of player he can be in the league and he doesn't want to just give him away to another team and be haunted into unemployment because of it. Howson also doesn't want the player getting eternally frustrated at the coach and organization and vow to never play for them ever again.
At least there's this whole peaceful KHL/NHL situation where they've got a great working agreement to loan players to one another. Oh, right… I forgot that exists only in Bizarro World where Herr Bettman is a brilliant leader and the NHL is the most beloved sports product in the world and provides the greatest financial system for all professional sports across the land.
My bad.
If Filatov does go to Russia, you can bank on it that he's going to stay there until he's either traded, Ken Hitchcock is out of a job or until his entry level deal ends after the 2011-2012 season… After which there might be another sport-crippling lockout and everyone plays in Europe instead anyway. At least that last possibility won't be nearly as much of a disaster to watch as the movie 2012.
We'll get to know more about what, exactly, is going on here soon and keeping your eyes peeled on Yahoo's Puck Daddy will be recommended as resident Russian go-to-guy Dmitry Chesnokov will be on the case and he's stated he's already gotten in touch with Filatov. What I expect to hear is that he's beyond frustrated and he wants to play and getting the hell out of Columbus offers him the best and most enjoyable set of circumstances.
Meanwhile, the Blue Jackets would rather he either stick it out in the NHL and learn the hard way or go back to Syracuse to skate circles around the competition. If those are the options he goes with, the Blue Jackets run the risk of driving Filatov crazy and filling him with resentment and then they've got an immensely talented player that no longer wants to play for them and can't wait to get the hell out of town.
While the Blue Jackets might be winning, they have to be careful here because this could turn into a lose/lose situation for the organization. They'll lose out on a great talent and they'll also salt the earth for future young Russian players they may be interested in. If the Blue Jackets want to truly be thinking long-term in regard to Nikita Filatov, they'd best be thinking long term about the future of the team as well.
It's now official, Nikita Filatov is headed back to Russia to play the rest of the season out, and like I told you kids, Dmitry Chesnokov is all over it getting the first interview with him at Puck Daddy. I won't pull out all of Filatov's quotes and over-analyze them but I'll yank out this set because it strikes me as amazing.
What did the club management tell you when you told them of your decision and your reasons for it?
They told me that they completely share my point of view. They also told me that in the current situation it is actually better for me to go back.
If things go sour with Columbus this year and they find a way to miss out on the playoffs, you better believe that GM Scott Howson will have more than enough ammunition to use against Hitchcock just based around this situation with Filatov.

Hello everyone :)
I fell in love with crocheting during my pregnancy and I've been doing lots of smaller and bigger projects ever since.
I love to invent new patterns, first making basic sketches and then slowly crocheting, making slight alternations and revising the outcome. I write down the pattern as I crochet, and after I'm finished and satisfied with the end product, I start again, create one more item following the pattern this time, making sure everything fits :)
My patterns usually include pictures (if necessary) because I like them to be more elaborate :)
I wish you a nice day, I hope you like my patterns, and please, share what you created, I love to see all the projects from my patterns :)

Resolution: Done
Fix Version/s: None
Component/s: obs_decam
Story Points:8
Epic Link:
Sprint:AP F19-6 (November), AP S20-5 (April)
Team:Alert Production
obs_decam now has basic Gen3 butler support (sufficient for ingest), but we'll need to expand that to get to the point where we can run single-frame processing (IsrTask, CharacterizeImageTask, and CalibrateTask) via Gen3 on it. That will include, at least:
- implementing writeCuratedCalibrations in the instrument class;
- specializing (and modifying, as necessary) the instrument-specific hooks for the gen2to3 tool, at least to the point where we can write scripts like the ones in ci_hsc_gen3/bin.src to make a fully-usable Gen3 repo.
I'm assigning this to John Parejko and the AP team for now, in the hopes it might be possible for him to finish the work he started with the initial DECam conversion.
A useful concrete end-point for this task would be a CI package that creates a Gen3 repo containing the HiTS (2015) raws, master calibrations, reference catalogs and runs the aforementioned tasks as a Pipeline.

DECam has inter-CCD crosstalk, which requires resolving https://jira.lsstcorp.org/browse/DM-17169
Here is a proposal that Tim Jenness and I came up with to deal with with raw ingestion:
Each obs_foo package will have a `RawIngestFooTask` and associated executable. This Task will be a subclass of `obs.base.RawIngestTask` that knows the correct `Instrument`. For obs packages that have multiple instruments (e.g. obs_lsst), we propose a `ConfigField` to select the correct instrument (e.g. "Ts8"->"Ts8Instrument", "Latiss"->"LatissInstrument"). This should solve the problem of how to specify the instrument that goes with a set of raw files.
A followup question to this is whether these specialized tasks should have a `doCalibrations` option that runs `writeCuratedCalibrations`, or whether we want a separate `CalibIngestFooTask` for that purpose? We will be doing "raw ingest" much more often than "calibration ingest", but the latter is handled by the same `Instrument` class.
I don't think writeCuratedCalibrations belongs in ingest. If anything, it belongs in a (TBD) script to register the instrument with the repository, but I don't think even that is quite right; there are several different cadences here, and Instrument's API's aren't really well-aligned to them yet (though they work well for testing and development):
- Register instrument with repository: done exactly once per repository+instrument combination. Adds "instrument", "detector", and "physical_filter" dimension records.
- Human-curated calibrations change: call writeCuratedCalibrations into a new collection, test them, bless that new collection as the recommended one.
- Hardware changes: add new physical_filter entries, maybe add records of some future dimensions (Tim Jenness and I once talked about having a physical_detector, for example).
- New data is taken: run raw ingest.
What's the motivation for having a per-instrument Task subclass, rather than just per-instrument configuration? Are we moving abstract methods out of Instrument and into the base Task, or are we just using derived classes as a place to override config variables?
Regarding your final comment, is it a question of ingestDecam.py vs ingest.py --config $OBS_DECAM/config/ingest.py? I think we ask people what they prefer.
A separate command for preparing a butler repo for an instrument is fine with me. This would presumably be allowed to run repeatedly, adding new filters if required, else doing nothing.
I had not considered changing collection every time curated calibrations are ingested. That seems fine to me since you seem to be implying that there will always be a default collection for calibrations.
Regarding your final comment, is it a question of ingestDecam.py vs ingest.py --config $OBS_DECAM/config/ingest.py? I think we ask people what they prefer.
for going with what's considered the best UI. But also note that we can have different scripts for different cameras without having different tasks, if all the scripts are doing is hard-coding a config override.
I am going to close this ticket as "Done":
DM-23976 means that defects are being written in gen3 from obs_decam_data, and DM-22655 got us a mostly-working gen2to3 convert script for decam. DM-23616 includes notes about how to run the script for ap_verify_ci_hits2015, and took care of the groundwork of processing decam data with pipetask. The remaining known issues preventing us from knowing whether the conversion is correct and that we can run gen3 single frame processing are being dealt with on DM-23985, DM-23992, and DM-23983.

Artificial turf is growing in popularity in Los Angeles as consumers are looking towards maintenance-free options for their outdoor living spaces. Likewise, artificial grass does not require any regular maintenance i.e. – pesticides, mowing and watering. Furthermore, there are several ways you can extend the longevity and appearance of your artificial turf. Ultimately, the tips outlined below will guarantee that your artificial grass will maintain your Los Angeles home's curb appeal for a very long time!
Tackling Residues
Remove scrap or any other residue with a conventional plastic rake. Regularly clean your artificial grass with a broom. Both will ensure that your artificial grass fibers will remain upright which will enhance the overall natural appearance of the turf.
Removing Dirt
A motorized sweeper will lift dirt and dust particles trapped in between the artificial grass fibers. We suggest you also use this product towards the end of the installation process.
Pet Odors
For any pet odor/residue, we recommend our zeolite and deodorizer accessories. Our deodorizer comes in a spray bottle and its purpose is to eliminate the smell of pet urine. Our Zeolite comes in 50lb bags filled with granules that are inserted into the artificial grass to further mask the odor and cap the amount of pet urine that is released into the sub-base.
Artificial grass, like many other maintenance free products, may need some upkeep throughout the years however this will ensure the quality of your artificial grass throughout the years.

Sony Claims AF Speed Of Adapted Canon Lenses Will 'Almost' Match Canon DSLRs on A7R II
One of the big headline features of the A7R II was its vastly improved autofocus system, including over 300 phase detect AF points covering over 40% of the sensor. Upon hearing this news, the first thing that jumped out to me was how would this affect the performance of adapted lenses – which has been very disappointing to this point.
Sony Artisan Thibault Roland had a chance to interview an engineer from Sony, who worked on the A7R project. An interesting note from that interview, which you can find in its entirety here, is the bit quoted below, where the Sony engineer claims that the AF speed of Canon lenses adapted to the A7R II almost match their speed on Canon bodies.
We were confirmed that AF of Canon lenses was "much faster than before. With adapters (and in particular, with a firmware updated Metabones Mark IV) Canon lenses are almost as fast as on a Canon body.
Now, as we all know, just because an AF system is fast, doesn't mean that it is accurate. But if this turns out to be true, I can see a wave of A7 adopters trading in their current A7 models and upgrading to the A7R II, specifically for this upgraded AF functionality. On the current generation of A7 bodies, the adapted lens AF speed is dreadful. It works, yes, but it's so slow in most situations that there is little point in using it.
The first signs that this claim by Sony may be true are coming in as well, with videos posts by our own Miquel Quiles and Gordon Lang of Camera Labs showing a vastly improved AF speed on the A7R II.
Sony A7R II pre-orders open up today as well, so now the question becomes, "Are you going to get one?" I know I am very very tempted to try and sell my A7 II and upgrade to the A7R II. It's just a matter of if I can come up with the remaining money to cover the difference – which is quite massive (for me). But we will see.
If you are interested, you can get your pre-order in on the A7R II now over on B&H for $3198.
What about you? Are you planning to grab an A7R II? Do you think that the AF performance will be improved enough that you can actually use Canon lenses with AF? Leave a comment below and let us know what you think!

How quickly can you click on "Find Tickets," add them to your cart, and check out? You better hope you can do it faster than anyone else.
That'll be the challenge for local Adele fans on Thursday at 10 a.m., when tickets go on sale for her two shows at TD Garden Sept. 14-15.
The British songbird announced dates for her North American tour Monday, marking her return to the road after five years. Beginning in July in Minnesota, the tour will set up for multiple nights in several markets. For now, the TD Garden dates are the only New England stops.
"This is the big one," says Amy Latimer, president of TD Garden. "There's so much anticipation around seeing her live. How fast will tickets go? They're going to go as fast as technology allows. We'd love to have more shows."
That's a possibility: Adele's tour schedule has a few free days between her Boston gigs and her six-night stand at New York's Madison Square Garden. Tickets are priced at $35-$145, and there's no word yet on who, if any, the opening acts will be. Tickets will be available at www.live.adele.com/north-america, www.livenation.com, www.ticketmaster.com, and in person at the Garden box office.
Adele's just-released third album, "25," stormed the charts, making history as the only album ever to sell more than 3 million copies in the United States in its first week. When she gets to the Garden, five years will have passed since she last played in Boston at the House of Blues.
Watch the video for Adele's single, "Hello":

After Heidi Klum has her fourth baby this October, she and husband Seal are throwing in the towel
"Four is perfect. Three is a lot. But four? It's a lot of work. We're hands-on, and we feel like this is what we can handle" says the supermodel in an interview with USA Today.
The Project Runway beauty has the right attitude for such a large family "I'm not someone who is like, 'OK, this is a museum, and you can't sit
here and you can't touch this and everything has to be put in its
place.' They live there as much as we do," she says. "You come into our
house, and there is a giant elephant and lion to welcome you. We have
those big stuffed animals, and we have toys and things everywhere."
That's my kind of mom!
Heidi and Seal's new baby will be joining big sister Leni, 5, and brothers Henry, 3, and Johan, 2. Wow, they are certainly going to have their hands full!

Brilliantly chilling, interlaced with upbeat Bollywood music and perfectly described by the artistic director Eric Ting as a "pop-culture, action-adventure-romance," Cal Shakes' "House of Joy" is a unique treasure with the modern pace, relevance and appeal of your favorite Netflix show.
Written by internationally acclaimed playwright Madhuri Shekar, "House of Joy" marks the spectacular continuation of Cal Shakes' New Classics Initiative, which aims to expand and enhance the classical theatrical canon by uplifting the works of living playwrights with diverse contemporary perspectives and experiences.
Filled with secretive political power plays, violent manipulation and heartwarming, sexually fluid love stories, the inspiration for "House of Joy" included graphic novels, India's imperial upheavals and the 2016 American presidential election, among other things. As dramaturg Vidhu Singh relayed in her pre-show presentation, Shekar "uses history as her playground to speak about things in our contemporary moment she finds terrifying."
Gorgeous jewel-encrusted costumes designed by the laudable theater designer Oana Botez and set design by Lawrence E. Moten III, featuring great double gates framed in an intricate floral wooden lattice position the fantastical stage in "something like" the Mughal Empire's imperial harem and "sometime like" the 17th century, during famines in India.
The titular "House of Joy" is a prosperous, imperial harem filled with beautiful gardens and lavish extravagances. Excepting the good-hearted Doctor Thermometer, played by the instantly likeable Raji Ahsan, all men and troubles of the outside world are strictly barred in body and thought from the self-proclaimed paradise.
Incredible powerhouse female harem guards Hamida (Emma Van Lare) and Roshni (Sango Tajima) launch the production with a refreshingly open dive into fluid sexualities by playing the popular contemporary game 'Fuck, Marry, Kill' in the play's opening scene with the beautiful harem girls they protect. Showcasing an excitingly relatable and intimate female friendship, the duo ignites high energy throughout.
Seemingly idyllic, the House of Joy's restrictions afford surprising acceptance, empowerment and freedom from patriarchal structures for many of its employees. Hamida and Roshni have respected jobs in the elite all female harem guard, and the charismatic Salima, played by the truly captivating Rotimi Agbabiaka, wields an immensely powerful position in the Mughal Empire while being open about being "neither man nor woman." However, as the House of Joy's veneer of perfection begins to peel, revealing the rot underneath, these characters must negotiate their complicity in the chilling injustice of the empire's exploitation.
Fight director Dave Maier stoked the already fast-paced and physical nature of the production with several innovative Marvel-esque training sequences. Wielding long sticks, Hamida and Roshni practiced highly synchronized yet unpredictable combat maneuvers while facing out toward the audience; the powerful choreography was performed with such expertise and conviction that subtle outlines of invisible assailants seemed to manifest.
Lipica Shah plays the complicated and dynamic Princess Noorah, giving vital humanity and consideration to the character whose tale ends with the most moral obscurity. Also, Raji Ahsan gives lively nuance to the unequivocally trustworthy Doctor Thermometer with a contemporary bearing, humor and style of speech that distinguishes the doctor as a commoner and outsider from the harem workers, who generally carry themselves with more formality.
Simultaneously dark and troubling, joyful and poignant, Cal Shakes' "House of Joy" is ultimately a must-see because of its small but incredibly powerful seven person cast. Cal Shakes continues to be its own best advocate by making brave choices and casting the right people to honor timely and consistent source material.

We're Verifying Oyo Governor N48 Billion Assets Claim
The Code of Conduct Bureau has commenced verification of the N48-billion assets declared by Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde.
The CCB director in Oyo State, Bisi Atolagbe, stated this during a meeting of the South-West states' directors of the bureau with the member representing the region on the CCB board, Prof. Samuel Ogundare.
Atolagbe said, "Work has started in the verification of the content of declaration submitted by Governor Seyi Makinde. At the right time, the report will be available. It is not about noise-making but technically doing the work to ascertain assets that are declared.
"However, I must point out that the process is not a public exercise. "The governor has not committed any crime by declaring his assets. It is just to ascertain what he has declared; to check if they are not anticipatory."
Ogundare said there was almost 100 percent compliance to the CCB regulations by current and former public office holders in the region.
He said, "Our governors in the South-West have shown good examples in compliance. They have done what the constitution requires them to do before and after occupying an office.
Since the governors and their deputies showed good examples, almost all state lawmakers and appointees have also complied."

Haggai RamJan 13, 2021
Intoxicating Zion
A Social History of Hashish in Mandatory Palestine and Israel
Stanford University Press 2020
When European powers carved political borders across the Middle East following World War I, a curious event in the international drug trade occurred: Palestine became the most important hashish waystation in the region and a thriving market for consumption. British and French colonial authorities utterly failed to control the illicit trade, raising questions about the legitimacy of their mandatory regimes. The creation of the Israeli state, too, had little effect to curb illicit trade. By the 1960s, drug trade had become a major point of contention in the Arab-Israeli conflict, and drug use widespread.
Intoxicating Zion: A Social History of Hashish in Mandatory Palestine and Israel (Stanford UP, 2020) is the first book to tell the story of hashish in Mandatory Palestine and Israel. Trafficking, use, and regulation; race, gender, and class; colonialism and nation-building all weave together in Haggai Ram's social history of the drug from the 1920s to the aftermath of the 1967 War. The hashish trade encompassed smugglers, international gangs, residents, law enforcers, and political actors, and Ram traces these flows through the interconnected realms of cross-border politics, economics, and culture. Hashish use was and is a marker of belonging and difference, and its history offers readers a unique glimpse into how the modern Middle East was made.
Haggai Ram is an historian of the modern Middle East at Ben Gurian University of Negev. His teaching and research focus on the social and cultural history of Iran, Palestine-Israel, and the Levant region.
Lucas Richert is an associate professor in the School of Pharmacy at the University of Wisconsin, Madison. He studies intoxicating substances and the pharmaceutical industry. He also examines the history of mental health.

Trainer Favorites: The Glorious Chickpea - Falafel, Roasted, and Hummus (Oh My!)
There are a plethora of healthy recipes scattered all over the Internet and filling countless cookbooks. But sometimes, you want something you know will be tasty, tried-and-true. "Trainer Favorites" are nutritionally-dense recipes that my husband and I have tried (he, sometimes dubiously), and found that we really enjoy!
These make a great snack as well! I'll pull extra patties out of the refrigerator for a quick snack on the go!
Speaking of snacks, here's an awesome chickpea snack to try:
The Kitchn's Roasted Curried Chickpeas with Rosemary and Thyme
The below recipe is found here on the Kitchn's website:
Just. Can't. Stop. Eating. Those roasted chickpeas are so good! And homemade hummus is even easier: Pour 2 cans of rinsed, drained chickpeas into your food processor and add a dollop of plain yogurt, a squeeze of lemon juice, a clove or two of garlic, salt, pepper, and drizzle olive oil to consistency. Easy-peasy! Experiment adding in spices to your liking - Curry powder? Paprika? Fresh basil and oregano? The possibilities are endless!
How do you like your chickpeas?
According to Consumer Reports,
"'We're exposed to a cocktail of chemicals from our food on a daily basis,' says Michael Crupain, M.D., M.P.H., director of Consumer Reports' Food Safety and Sustainability Center. For instance, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports that there are traces of 29 different pesticides in the average American's body. 'It's not realistic to expect we wouldn't have any pesticides in our bodies in this day and age, but that would be the ideal,' says Crupain. 'We just don't know enough about the health effects.'" (Find the rest of the article here.)
There are concerns from some scientists about the affects that this type of exposure to pesticides and other chemicals used to treat our produce can have on our bodies. The World Health Organization states, "But pesticides are also potentially toxic to humans. They may induce adverse health effects including cancer, effects on reproduction, immune or nervous systems" (Article here). It becomes more concerning when we consider our children:
"Studies have found that children who eat conventional diets have significantly higher levels of OP pesticide metabolites in their urine than do children who eat organic diets. In one study, children were switched from conventional to organic diets. Urinary concentration of the OP pesticide metabolite immediately dropped so low it was undetectable. When a conventional diet resumed, urine concentration of the OP metabolite increased to previous levels. When organic produce is available and affordable, buying organic is a relatively easy way for parents to reduce children's exposure to OP pesticides" (University of Washington Center for Ecogenetics & Environmental Health, article here).
We don't know yet exactly how dangerous or the exact effects of consuming produce treated chemically. Scientists are still studying these things. So right now, we have the choice - Do we take a conservative approach (It might be dangerous, so I will avoid it until proven safe)? Do we take a relaxed approach (It hasn't been proven unsafe, so I'll risk that it probably isn't)?
Organic produce is produce that has been treated without chemicals - and many scientists and nutritionists are recommending that we consume organic or mostly organic, for the potential safety of our bodies, our children, our environment, and workers in the produce industry.
It's also a fact that organic produce is usually more expensive than treated produce. Sometimes we have to make a choice about what items we'll buy organic or non-organic. Here's where the Dirty Dozen and the Clean Fifteen can be helpful resources.
There are a plethora of healthy recipes scattered all over the Internet and filling countless cookbooks. But sometimes, you want something you know will be tasty, tried-and-true.

Moosewood Restaurant Cookbooks
Confession: Meal planning isn't always my thing. It's important, it helps me get organized, so I do it, but I'm not always jumping up and down to plan the weekly menu.
But one thing I've found that makes meal planning a whole lot more fun is to curl up with a cozy blanket and pour through a good cookbook to inspire the next week's meals. And one of my favorite series of cookbooks comes from Moosewood Restaurant in Ithaca, NY.
Not sure when we'll make it to Ithaca, but it would be dreamy to visit this restaurant. I love that the recipes they create are full of nutritious ingredients and unique combinations of spices and foods that I never would have thought to put together but upon trying just work! Some of our favorite recipes include:
* Pineapple Salsa with Blueberries
* Italian Lentils and Acorn Squash
* Pasta with Tomato-Peach Sauce
* Kale with Sweet Potatoes
* Butternut Cookies
* Caribbean Sweet Potato Gratin
* Homespun Pot Pie
* Chimichurri Sauce
Is your mouth watering yet??
Moosewood Restaurant posts a selection of recipes to try on their website. One very yummy and easy salsa worth making is Mango Salsa:

5K season is starting up!
The 5K has grown exponentially in popularity in the past few years, and there are 5K races themed around the craziest things: Glow runs, Color runs, Hot Chocolate runs, Hot Dog runs, Cupid Undie runs, Zombie runs, Tough Mudders, Warrior Dashes, Slime runs, you name it! Runs for food, runs for charities, runs for just weird fun!
Maybe you're interested in running (or walking!) one, but the 3.1 miles seems a little daunting. Or maybe you've run one before, but your winter fitness routine has not included a regular jogging routine of that distance. In any scenario, it's important to train your body in preparation for running or walking the distance.
One helpful tool is to use a phone app called "Couch-to-5K". The premise of the app is to provide timed interval workouts (periods of walking/jogging) that get progressively more challenging until your body is prepared to run the entire 5K distance. Most apps are plan for 8-10 weeks of training 2-3 days per week.
The Couch-to-5K app I use most often with personal training clients interested in training for a 5K is "C25K" by Zen Labs. There is a free version that can be downloaded for Android or Apple devices.
Here is the website:
This app doesn't have to be used just for running or jogging! If you're interested in walking the distance, then walk slower during the "walk" interval phase and walk more briskly during the "run" interval phase of the workout.
One of the reasons I like this app is A) It includes a warm-up and cool-down period within the workout (SO important!), B) It allows enough time to properly train the body for the race, and C) It's free! DO make sure that you stretch after your cool-down, though! Take the time to stretch your hamstrings, your quadriceps, your glutes, your calves, and your chest/shoulders.
It's beneficial to round out your running training regime with weekly strength training and flexibility (like yoga!) workouts also!
Questions about how to use the C25K training app and plan? Don't hesitate to contact me!

Bone marrow. It's less complicated to prepare than you think. Chef Ken Oringer of Toro in New York and Boston breaks down the steps to roasting bone marrow at home. And he also shares one surprising cooking hack.
To kick it up a few notches, before the marrow, top toast with Oringer's oxtail marmalade below.
Oxtail Marmalade
Serves 4-6
5 pounds oxtail
1 pound mirepoix
1 stick lemongrass, chopped
5 cloves garlic
1 teaspoon of each mixed together in small sachet: star anise, cinnamon, fennel, coriander
2 cups dry red wine
2 gallons dashi
3 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons fish sauce
4 tablespoons sugar
Salt and pepper oxtail. Dry roast in 350° F oven for 1 hour, turning every 15 minutes. Set aside. Pour rendered fat into skillet and add mirepoix, lemongrass and garlic. Cook until tender. Add spice sachet, oxtail, and red wine, and mix. Add dashi and bring to boil. Cover with lid and transfer to 350° F oven. Roast until tender, about two and a half hours. Remove from oven and cool.
Pick the meat from the bones or transfer to glass or plastic pan and let sit overnight in the fridge. The next day, gently warm the stock and pick the meat from the bones. Discard bones. Set meat aside.
Reduce oxtail stock from four cups to one cup. Add shredded meat to reduced stock. Add soy sauce, fish sauce and sugar. Stir and cook until mixture resembles marmalade. Use immediately or set aside and warm later. Oxtail marmalade will last in fridge for 1 week.

Before the autumn of 1992 is swept away forever into the winds of history, let us pause for a moment to take one close, last look at the Case of the Talking Barbie Doll.
Chances are, you`ve read a little squib of a news item about the talking Barbie. It`s one of those stories that you glance at for half a second before turning the page.
But in its own way, the Case of the Talking Barbie tells us as much about the strange turn our national life has taken as does any debate featuring men who yearn to become president. Especially in the always-tender area of relationships between men and women, the Case of the Talking Barbie is all the proof you need that we may all be beyond hope.
When the Mattel toy company manufactured a new set of talking Barbie dolls, the firm did not expect any controversy. The last thing giant companies want in this oh-so-sensitive new age of ours is to offend anyone.
So when Mattel put hundreds of thousands of the dolls on the market, the corporate hope was that little girls would play with them and have fun, and that the company would make a profit.
It didn`t take long, though, for the company to be served notice that it had committed an awful and most grievous error.
A women`s organization-the American Association of University Women-informed Mattel that it was upset because one of the phrases that came out of the talking Barbie`s mouth was deeply offensive.
What was this phrase? Was it a phrase that degraded women and implied that they were merely servants to men? Was it a phrase that indicated women were sex objects? Was it a phrase that said that women were deserving of less money on the job market than men?
Not exactly.
The phrase spoken by the talking Barbie-the phrase that so outraged the American Association of University Women-was: ''Math class is tough.''
''Preteen girls most likely to play with Teen Talk Barbie are at the highest risk for losing confidence in their math ability,'' announced association president Sharon Schuster.
On behalf of the AAUW, she served notice on Mattel that the company should either recall the talking Barbies-as if the dolls were cars with defective brake linings that could cause passengers to go hurtling over a cliff-or reprogram the dolls so that they did not say those words.
Not so long ago, a big company might have shrugged off such a complaint. In our politically correct era, though, Mattel was forced to have its executives make somber statements.
So Mattel spokeswoman Donna Gibbs told the world: ''Mattel in no way meant to discourage girls from pursuing education in the math and science fields. If Barbie talks in the future, we will take into account these concerns.''
Gibbs pointed out that the ''Math class is tough'' phrase was only one of 270 phrases spoken at random by the talking Barbies. Each doll speaks four phrases, which are loaded into their electronic memories during the manufacturing process. Some of the phrases, Gibbs said, are ''Let`s start a business''; ''I love school, don`t you?''; and ''I`m going to be a
veterinarian.'' Because even the manufacturer did not know which of the dolls on the toy store shelves uttered that appalling, chilling phrase-''Math class is tough''-it would be almost impossible to find them to recall and reprogram. The company estimated that the ''Math class is tough'' phrase was present in one out of every 67 1/2 talking Barbies.
The women`s group was not about to accept such an excuse. ''Why can`t Barbie say, `I`m good at math,` or `Math class is fun`?'' president Schuster complained.
So Mattel, trying to cut its losses, made the announcement. From the Associated Press news wire: ''The makers of Teen Talk Barbie, stung by criticism that the talking dolls utter sexist remarks, offered to let offended customers trade their toy in for a mute model.''
Mattel`s move did not satisfy the AAUW. A doll says something as terrible, as horrifyingly callous, as ''Math class is tough''-and the solution is to replace it with a doll that has the power to say nothing at all? A silent-silenced-doll?
So the controversy goes on. Does the talking Barbie really signify that women are not as good as men? That women lack intellect? That women should never expect to do as well in the world as males?
Perhaps. Of course, there`s always the possibility that the talking Barbie is merely expressing a universal truth that for centuries has been known by girls-and boys-all around the world:
Math class is tough.

Ask an Attorney a Question for FREE!
Can i get the check made out to me after a car accident?
I am trying to get a check made out to me for damage on my truck. I got 2 estimates and told them I would take the lower estimate but was not sure who I was going to get to repair my car.
I asked to have the check made out to me they did not say that was going to be a problem. when I got the check it was in my name and the company I got the estimate from.
I am now trying to get them to send me a new check and send back the old check and they have not returning my call. I live in Pennsylvania and am dealing with all state the amount of damage is $1,350.00 should this be a problem?
I am thinking of calling my lawyer.
The answer depends on how you own your vehicle. If you have a bank loan, the auto policy requires that the insurance company protects the line holder (the bank). They will have to issue a check to you and to the bank or a check to you and to the bodyshop (that way they know the car is fixed and the bank interest is protected).
If you have no loans and own this car outright, then the payment can be made directly to you. Try to contact them against and see what is the issue, if they don't answer, contact a lawyer in your area.
Good Luck,

Welcome Aboard
When Daamini and the team at Conceive asked us to participate in this project, to chronicle our experiences and share our "journey", I didn't realize how apt a choice of words that would prove to be. Looking at it now, far along, perhaps ahead of you a few steps but by no means at the journey's end, I see it quite clearly now as a voyage made in explicit stages.
From the heady and happy first couplings to the head-scratching thoughts of "ummm… nothing's happening" it can be a bit of a shock how quickly you can move from joy or anticipation to uncertainty and worry, and thence to a steady drumbeat of measurements, temperatures, calendars and planning.
First, love-making becomes something you book on the schedule, when every joining is fraught with "will it work this time?" and weeks must pass between the timely attempt and knowing the result. If you're here at Conceive, you may already know this stage too well. For us, that was followed by the eventual realization that the "old fashioned way" just wasn't going to get the job done.
So next came research, then learning – who are the best doctors? What are the metrics? What do they mean? Then the tests, a stage in their own right. Getting the results? Another distinct step in and of themselves. Deciding on a treatment plan, and preparing for it, paying for it, living through it, sometimes many times.
There are days of good news, filled with relief and anticipation. There are days of bad news filled with questioning and mourning and loss. All distinct experiences with unexpected facets and unintended consequences. And all along the way, scheduling and disruption, uncomfortable, often embarrassing procedures, thermometers and pharmaceuticals, little needles in the belly and big needles in the backside.
For my part in this discussion, I'll explore each of these experiences in turn, and offer my perspective in hopes that it may help. To help start the conversation, for now I'd like to leave you with the first, biggest thing I learned through the emotional part of the journey, the first thing I want to address, the thing I want you to know because this blog is here to help you deal with this more than any other single thing. Ready?
Infertility is awkward. It's "icky". You have to go to the doctor, so obviously there's "something wrong" with you. Something in your man or lady parts. Eeeewwww. Oh, and of course it's directly related to having sex, which means a large percentage of most societies doesn't want to talk about it on that basis alone. Not exactly helpful when you're already feeling broken, misunderstood, inadequate, isolated and/or ashamed, all of which you can, and should, anticipate feeling at some point in the process.
It's ok. We did. So have many others. (Gentlemen, you will, by the way, feel a whole host of things that are distinct from your wives' experience, and we'll talk about that in future posts.) For now, here's the first big takeaway:
You're not alone.
Your families may not understand, your friends may not know what to say, or you may not even feel safe speaking of it at all. You can come here. For me at least, open discussion and candor, however awkward, uncomfortable and embarrassing was a relief and a comfort compared to the feeling that no one out there understood, or could relate to what we were going through. If we hadn't found several friends who had also been through infertility, (which we didn't even know until we brought it up – why? because NO ONE TALKS ABOUT IT!) I don't know how we could have made it this far.
Got a question you're too embarrassed to ask? Need to rant, rave and cry at the unfairness of it all? Have to vent about the stupid, insensitive and hurtful things your well-meaning friends keep saying that make you want to tear your hair out? Come on by the blog. We've been there, we won't judge, and maybe just maybe, by taking the journey together, we can help make the trip a little easier.
I'll see you at the next stop. Welcome aboard…
