No one seems to be certain whether depression is a symptom of many of these chronic illnesses or if it is a result of the prolonged pain, fatigue and other unbearable circumstances that go hand and glove with Fibromyalgia, Chronic Fatigue and other chronic illnesses such as Lyme Disease and Lupus: Depression. One thing is for sure, many of us may find ourselves battling depression along with our other ailments.
Of course you don't have to be suffering from a chronic illness to get depressed — anyone can experience depression. Sometimes it comes and goes and sometimes it is chronic and unrelenting.
Here are the things that I have found that have helped to pull me out of it when I have fallen into that dark, deep pit.
- B vitamins help tremendously. You can get B Complex 100 or you can get B vitamins from natural sources such as nutritional yeast, brewers yeast, molasses, turkey, tuna, liver, legumes, whole grains, bananas and chili peppers. I recommend getting your B vitamins from both types of sources as we are talking fairly high doses. In addition to consuming foods that are rich in B vitamins, I also take several B-complex capsules spread out throughout the day. I found it best taken with food or yogurt, so I would just take one with each meal.
- Get out into the environment – take a walk, sit on your patio, do something to get your attention out of your head and out into the environment. Make a point to look around at the trees, the sky, or the birds. Find some beauty in your environment.
- Do physical work – yard work, house cleaning, repair something, build something or do other household chores. Again, do something that gets you out of your head and puts your attention out on the environment. Don't over-exert yourself as that could make you feel even worse later, so just do light work.
- De-clutter something – your office, your papers, your pantry, anything that is cluttered. De-cluttering can be very therapeutic.
- Do something to help someone. There is no better way to improve your mood than doing something kind or helpful for another.
- Do something creative – play any form of music, make a flower arrangement, paint, draw, make pottery or anything that you enjoy that involves some sort of creativity.
None of these are easy to do when you are feeling down. However, if you can get yourself to do at least one of these, then maybe you will feel up to doing another one.
Sooner or later, I think you will find some relief.

text: I recently completed an assignment for HCI Care Service and their agency, Delta Design. They wanted colorful pictures of leaves for their website. The timing was perfect. It was early August and the leaves would soon be changing. Because of the drought, the only question was if the leaves would shrivel up, turn brown and fall off the tree. For the most part, that is what happened. I looked at a lot of leaves before I found perfect, unblemished leaves. Here are some of the final images.

Your captures of the sunset and of the dogs' training are perfect!
The senior citizen's home displayed in your pictures appears to be a place which offers quality life to its residents. I'm quite impressed by the nice cottages amidst green plants and trees.
I have heard about this place! Seems to be a healthy, good place for the senior citizens. Thank you! We will have a look when we visit Coimbatore next time!ReplyDelete
The pictures look good! But the concept so alien still in India.ReplyDelete
I had communicated with them and liked the place, but couldnt go personally to see, now you substantiated my belief. I myself always dream of living in such place ....surroundings so green..ReplyDelete
The place looks serene and beautiful with so much of greenery around .The cottages look very cosy , the exterior paints are just wonderful.Looks like a nice place for senior citizens or for that matter for anyone .Loved meeting Ninja and Nancy .
Thanks for sharing.
Nice place with lot of life around to live with .ReplyDelete
Interesting post. Nice one.
Really nice place in the middle of nature.ReplyDelete
Such cute giants, those "pups". The place looks well maintained, and very clean. :)ReplyDelete
Are we moving into a culture where old age will mean strangers and alien surroundings?ReplyDelete
Nice to see such a wonderful place...nicely captured too!ReplyDelete
ur clicks are expressing beautiful mental image of happiness in the tapovanam...
@Anilkurup: These so called Sr.Citizen's Homes should actually be called Retirement Retreats.They provide a lot of comforts & conveniences for the Seniors.
Now a days Sr.Citizens move to such homes for the following reasons:
a) Sons/daughters are busy with their own careers/families that they find parents a "nuisance" and hence fix them up in retirement homes.
b)Parents who are fiercely independent and are financially sound prefer to stay away from their children so that they can lead their own lives.
Either way the elders lead a comfortable secure and well cared for life and enjoy all modern conveniences like TV,Telephone, computer,internet,library. They have centralized kitchen & dining hall as well a room for recreational activities. Cultural programs are organized periodically and there is a prayer hall. Doctors are available on call.
When ever they want they can take a break for a few months to travel # see places or to go and spend time with their children/grand children etc.
nice information
beautiful photos esp greens
Wonderful photos!!!ReplyDelete
wow, those are some happy senior citizens indeed!!! to live in such lavish natural glory... one can only imagine!
Ram! Thank you so much for your kind words, they mean to much to me. I wish you and your family all the happiness, joy and prosperity in the world.
Namaste :)
WOW...It's such a great place to spend your retired life...Great clicks...ReplyDelete
Nice to see such cheerful retirement homes. I like tree-lined entrance driveway and the little gardens around the cottages. :)ReplyDelete
The rice fields and palm trees remind me of Goa. Lovely shots.ReplyDelete
Another great post. Beautiful work again. Bravo!ReplyDelete
It's a nice place, no doubt. Maybe it's my misconception but there's always a certain sadness that comes to mind when I see there elderly care homes.ReplyDelete
Wonderful sequence of photographs of a great place.ReplyDelete
Definitely "Tapovan" would be a nice place for the Seniors who are otherwise not wanted at home. I really become sad at their plight nothwithstanding the amenities/facilities available to them at such "Homes"ReplyDelete
Looks like a wonderful place!
Beautiful photos.
Thanks for sharing.
Have a great weekend.
Hello Ram.
What a beautiful, serene place. The trees & shrubs remind me of the Caribbean. The cottages look very inviting too.
Fantastic array of photos!
Thanks for sharing.
When you get a chance, please come to my blog...I have a special gift for you.
Award Time...Sharing The Love Again!
Loved the post...Being young with two ageing parents, I believe that sending our elders to a retirement home is not much different than sending our children to a boarding school....there comes a time when it is essential and GOOD for all concerned. I for one wud love to live here. :-)ReplyDelete
This looks like a very nice place to live. Although, I believe that we should live by ourselves independently even when we are old, just as we do when we are young. Cheers!ReplyDelete
Looks like a nice place, green n healthy one..nice captures n glad that senior citizens are happy there :)ReplyDelete
The grounds and accommodations look very nice.ReplyDelete
Nice clicks :)ReplyDelete
Looks like a nice place. I like the driveway with all those trees lining it.ReplyDelete
seems wonderful!ReplyDelete
Tapovan Senior Citizens Home looks a nice place with so much green around. I am glad the place provide a lot of comforts & conveniences for the Seniors.
They deserve it so much.
The entrance driveway to Tapovan looks beautiful.
Thanks for your visit and comment on my blog. I agree with you, the dogs operate wonderfully as a team and Heini Winter did a good work with the dogs.
This looks like a pretty and cheerful place to enjoy old age - unlike many others! Happy sunday to you!ReplyDelete
the place is so beautiful...how many kms it will be from Coimbatore Pattam area (oondiputhr). My dad stays there. He loves to visit such places.
Could u mail me the details.
Thanks a lot:)
Nice home. Lots of greenery, and it looks very relaxing.ReplyDelete

it is such a lovely place! a happy place for its Sr citizens - the greenery,the peace & quiet - just what they needReplyDelete
I like the entrance way with trees...The pic with the dogs in action is beautifulReplyDelete
These places are becoming a reality of life in India too!ReplyDelete
I am visiting via texwisgirl. You live in an amazing part of the world, and I really enjoyed scrolling down and seeing the photos from south India.
I am also interested in your response to anilkurup. Somehow, I've always thought of the US as being the only place where we have places like this for the elderly. Some of our places are not as good as the one you describe here, but I think, in general, they are improving.
Love the fig trees and coconut tree, reminds me of home. enjoyed it all.
thanks as always you help me explore the world i am not able to physically right now.
peace...and blessings be with you and your.
Beautiful pictures make me feel it is a very peaceful place, great for seniors if they accept the change!ReplyDelete
Looks like a very peaceful and beautiful place. Also its so clean, which is such a nice thing. Loved meeting Ninja and Nancy!!ReplyDelete
Lovely senior citizens home. Looks very exclusive and expensive. Only the rich will be able to stay here, I presume. Very peaceful atmosphere and I am sure the service will be good also.
I wish the government which collects huge amount of taxes from the the citizens of this country comes forward to build some senior citizens home to provide relief to many poor senior citizens who are totally neglected by society.
A government which is interested in the welfare of the its people would undertake such useful things as building senior citizens home for the poor and running it efficiently rather than selling liquor and lotteries as they do in Kerala to siphon off a large chunk of the income into the politicians bottomless pockets.
I can see a large number of poor senior citizens begging on the roads, they have no money to buy medicines and they have undergo so much suffering in their old age. The government is doing nothing for them although the democratic form of government is for the people people.
Your post is an eye opener to what is happening in this democratic country called India.
Best wishes,
thank you for the suggestion about word verification, I took it off. I didn't realize that it became totally incomprehensible... what were they thinking at google?! thanks again :)ReplyDelete
usually old age homes are associated with a lot of bad stories only :( but this place looks interesting ... and nice picsReplyDelete
@Joseph Pulikotil: Yes you are absolutely correct. The kind of homes that I have shown is primarily for people with money. The poor will have no access to such places.Unfortunately the Govt is doing precious little to improve the plight of Sr.Citizens from the poor strata of Society. There are a few social organizations/ NGO's who are doing some good work in this area, but such groups are few & far apart. A lot more work is required both from Govt as well as as from the Corporate Sector who can also contribute as part their Social Goals.ReplyDelete
Really beautiful pics. You have great photography skills!!ReplyDelete
I also disabled the verification words on both blogs and got 13 spam comments so far in just three days... So annoying! Glad moderation is still enable.ReplyDelete
Wonderful place and photos!!!
I like the last photos!!!
Have a very nice week!
Its always so much fun to read your posts! And those photographs that go along with your posts are just another visual treat!ReplyDelete
love the greenery of this place...and the dogs are so cool!!
nice post with photosReplyDelete
A beautiful and peaceful place for the senior citizens. As usual loved your lovely shots.
The pups are such darlings! They have enhanced the beauty of this home.
Wish them all a wonderful stay .....
I had visited this place sometime back and this place pales in comparison to other retirement homes in the community. The place is a long way off from the city with hardly any transportation facilities available. the long narrow road to the main road has no lights and i shudder to think if our respected old citizens have to visit a hospital in the night. Residents can get bored very easily here since there is no nearby shops or places they could visit. This is a bad place to live if you do not have your own transportation. I had asked the manager if dogs were allowed and he said NO and now I see pets being allowed. How come they changed rules after the fact? Please understand that some residents do not like pets in the area. So this can be a real nuisance. All in all, a mere post on the net which only talks about the good things may tend to create a false impression on readers. Thank youReplyDelete
Hello Rajesh..I would like to know any other good senior citizen housing you know about...please let me knowReplyDelete
Dear Rajesh: You are perfectly entitled to your views.Your points are well presented. I am neither recommending or denouncing this place. I have simply presented some pics I took there. People who plan to live there must make their own inquiries and decide for themselves.
Hi Renu:
Please find a short list below:
swasthya homes
covai group
Please note Iam not recommending any or all of these. I would suggest folks interested in using the trial stay option so they can see for themselves the standards. Thx
Dear Ramakrishnan,
Before I forget, thanks for the pictures. You have correctly mentioned that at the end of the day - it is for that individual sot decide which is best.
The subject of retirement homes has fascinated me for some time and I have extensively researched on them and seen atleast a dozen of them personally. Our elders have a quite a few choices nowadays when compared to a few years back. Broadly, I can mention a few points which any prospective buyer of retirement homes needs to consider:
1) Background of the builder: An retirment home is not something which any builder can build. Such builders should atleast have built a couple so we can see for ourselves how are they are functioning and being maintained.
Disappointly quite a few builders have entered into this field with the objective of making a quick buck so we should be extra careful here. I have seen a few retirement homes which does not even have an intercom (in case of emergency). This shows how inexperienced the builder is
2) Wherever possible, buy a retirement home which is completed in all respects. This is what differentiates buying a retirement home from buying a flat. One can buy a flat in a 'under construction' stage but with a retirement home you cannot afford a situation where some of the facilities promised by the builder is not commissioned. The principle you follow here is " You buy what you see"
I hope this helps to prospective buyers. Cheers.
Thanks Rajesh!..yeah we shall chk them first..ReplyDelete
I am planning to buy one unit. I want to know on the pros and cons from who had already purchasedReplyDelete
Renu, could you visit any of the senior citizens home in coimbatore. If yes, please share your experience and views with us.....so that we can benefit from it. Comments of Rajesh is quite balanced and reflects the prevailing scenario..... NarasimhanReplyDelete

TAPOVAN, coimbatore was good in early days. Now the management is only money minded and the Senior Citizens are suffering. Many Government departments have visited the place on complaints from the senior citizen and still it is going from better to worse. No improvement.ReplyDelete

All the news media are biased, but some are worse than others. And that includes the mainstream media in the West. Daily Mail is biased toward sensationalism, CNN is liberal, The New York Times is leftist, MSNBC is left-wing & pro-Democrats, Fox is pro-Republican & conservatives, the Guardian is radical left-wing, BBC is anti-Christian, RT is anti-America, Al Jazeera is the mouthpiece of the Muslim Brotherhood, Haaretz is anti-Israel, Huftington Post is liberal leftist, etc. The Economist is a radical left-wing publication promoting liberalism and progressive values and propaganda. All of the articles published by The Economist have to conform to the agenda of The Economist Group (Cadbury, Rothschild, Schroder families).
Most of the news media are biased toward the perceived sensibilities of their target audience. The mainstream media will feed you with what they want you to think on certain matters. Therefore, you must free yourself from mental slavery. Do not be lazy. You must take anything you read online or in the newspaper with a grain of salt. Read from multiple news sources to form your own judgment. You must remember that what was written was just a personal opinion of the journalist who has to conform to the agenda of his or her paymaster. And this agenda could be left wing, right wing, liberal, conservative, libertarian, centrist, far-left, far-right, etc.
Anti-Israel media:
(1) Haaretz
(2) Al Jazeera
(3) The New York Times
(7) Huftington Post
(8) The Guardian
(9) Washington Post
Pro-Israel media:
(1) Fox News

Banana Bread is delicious! I always forget how good it tastes until I have some. Then when I do, I revel in the taste, until I forget again and then discover it anew. This time around, I had some over-ripe bananas that seemed past their prime- Banana Bread is a great, healthy dessert to use those babies up!
This particular recipe is surprisingly low in sugar and butter- awesome! If you're feeling adventurous, add a little cinnamon, or nutmeg, or even some walnuts. This is just plain and simple, wholesome-tasting goodness.
Simple Banana Bread
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F
- Grease a 9x5 inch bread pan
- In a large bowl, combine flour, baking soda & salt.
- In a separate bowl, cream together butter and sugar.
- Stir in eggs and mashed bananas until well blended.
- Stir banana mixture into flour mixture; stir just to moisten.
- Pour batter into prepared loaf pan.
- Bake in oven for 60 to 65 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into center of the loaf comes out clean.
- Let bread cool in pan for 10 minutes, aka gobble it up while it burns your mouth :)


text: Hello pancake lovers, these pancakes should be notice, really. A resto named Gotri in Nginden Surabaya has both on their menu at the dessert list. There are two choices which are Choco Banana and Strawberry. The taste are delicious, also just so cheap. Really affordable, perhaps it was the cheapest pancakes that I've ever buy. The price each is IDR 10.000 or equivalent with USD 1! Totally recommended!!!

Jim Tressel OUT at OSU
It's official. On this Memorial day morning, Jim Tressel handed in his letter of resignation to school President E. Gordon Gee. This is a complete reversal from March 8, when Tressel said he never considered resigning. However, it had to happen. Tressel knew of his players selling memorabilia and autographs for tattoos before the 2010-11 season. Yet he allowed them to play the whole season, even though he knew their eligibility had been compromised. Then, when asked about it by the NCAA in December whether he knew of these actions, he lied and said no. The cover-up was the final nail in the coffin. How does this impact Michigan? Well, obviously Tressel meant a lot to the Buckeyes, as he was 9-1 against the Wolverines in "The Game." It will be interesting to see where OSU goes from here. They've already said that they will search for a new replacement after the upcoming 2011-12 season, where current assistant coach Luke Fickell will lead the program. No one knows what this season will bring for the Buckeyes, as they will be without their starting QB and RB, as well as some others, for the first five games of the season (admittedly, the very weak non-conference slate. They return when the Big Ten season begins). Will there be players who transfer? Will any other revelations come out? And what will the NCAA meeting in August do to OSU? OSU could very well have wins vacated, be put on probation, and lose scholarships. Or, none of that could happen. But either way, an era has ended in Columbus, and now no one knows what will happen next.

The Director's Seat - Andy's Blog
I figured this could last at least two weeks. The next few Mondays I'll be traveling, so this is the last you'll hear from me for a while. Maybe somebody else will pick up the slack and throw something on the blog while I'm gone.
Arctic Monkeys - Library Pictures
The new Arctic Monkeys album is really good - certainly better than their last album, and in my estimation, better than their sophomore effort as well. This is one of the shorter, faster paced tracks on the LP, but the whole thing is worth a listen. It's streaming online here.
I've listened to a lot of other new music recently, including efforts from Bon Iver, The Vaccines, Givers, and Battles, but nothing has really captivated me, besides perhaps the new Bon Iver. It's not so easy finding new music you love every week.
The big buzz this past weekend was about the release of the Hangover II. I wasn't particularly blown away by the first edition, but it was funny enough, and so I watched the second installment with moderately high expectations. II is, and you'll hear this 100 times, the exact same movie in a different setting, and how you interact with this fact will color your viewing experience. Accept that it's the same movie again, remember that you enjoyed it the first time, and you'll have a pleasant enough time with the second. There are some classic Alan lines, and I laughed out loud more frequently than I did during the first movie, so there's that. All in all, worth a look.
The summer means your favorite shows are going on hiatus, but one you should be watching that will kick off a new season on June 23 is Louie, on FX. I don't know how it took me so long to get around to watching Louis C.K.'s show, but I watched the first season in a couple days, and it's really good. C.K. is hilarious, and a good third of each episode is just him doing standup, which is what he's known for and best at. The rest of the show plays on a down and out Dad theme, and as a sucker for self-deprecating humor, I'm a fan. You've got three weeks to watch the first season before the premiere of the second.
(Inter)national Sports
I hope everyone watched the UEFA Champions League final between Barcelona and Manchester United on Saturday afternoon (evening for me). Because it was dazzling. Barcelona dominated much of the first half but saw the score level at 1 after a glorious strike from Wayne Rooney. Barca came out and completely dominated the second half, and we were treated to some Lionel Messi magic. This will be at least the third place I say it, but it has been a privilege to watch Lionel Messi play football, and I will not soon forget this Barcelona team. After they shredded Arsenal in a much-mocked match in an earlier leg of the Champions League, I have to say I was rather pleased to see United suffer a similar, albeit less embarrassing fate. This Barcelona side will go down as one of the all-time great teams Europe has ever seen, and it's pretty special that we get to watch them. Highlights here, but sure to disappear soon.
The big story yesterday was the FINAL TURN collapse of rookie J.R. Hildebrand at the Indianapolis 500. I didn't see it live, so I know I've missed out on that special quality of watching it as it happened, but it's one of the most incredible things you'll ever see in sports.
There's just something special about live sports, and the sense that ANYTHING can happen and you could be witnessing history. I remember watching a bowling event earlier this year, and one guy had the championship all but sewn up, but inexplicably CRATERED on the last throw and lost. It was bowling, but my jaw was on the floor. Through the magic of the internet, here it is. Relevant portion around 9:20.
The NBA finals start tomorrow night, pitting Dirk and the Mavericks against the Miami Heat and its trio of stars. Better people than myself will preview this somewhere else, I'm sure. I just cannot get into the NBA playoffs. Dirk is a compelling story with his playoff feats, but I don't understand how anyone could be genuinely interested in the Heat. I don't like any of their larger than life superstars, and could not care less about whether or not they win rings. The nature of basketball - that one player can completely dominate a game - turns me off to it, especially in the star-driven league that is the NBA. Spare me the egos and theatrics, please.
Wednesday, however, brings us the Stanley Cup finals, pitting the Vancouver Canucks against the Boston Bruins. I'll be shocked if Lord Stanley's Cup doesn't belong to Vancouver at the end of this series - the Sedins are too good, and the Canucks roll too much depth for the Bruins to handle. Tim Thomas will have to be huge for the Bruins to have any chance, and I suspect Roberto Luongo will be equal to the task in net for Vancouver. This should be a fun one to watch on NBC, as long as Pierre's time is as limited as possible.
Michigan Sports
The biggest news of the past week was perhaps the worst kept secret in the Michigan sports world - that Michigan men's lacrosse would be making the jump to D-1 next season, with women's lacrosse to follow in 2012-13. Details here in the MGoBlue roundup. It's extremely exciting to be the first team in 30 years to make the jump to D-1 lacrosse, and Michigan's dominant varsity club side finally moves up to the top level. The next couple seasons expect Michigan to play in a hodgepodge of venues, but you can be sure that Dave Brandon is crafting a plan for a dedicated lacrosse facility to compete with the best in the nation. For an introduction to the team, watch this series of video blogs.
WCBN hopes to broadcast Michigan men's lacrosse next season when the facilities afford us a steady internet connection and power source.
That's going to do it for now. Thanks for reading, hope to see you again soon!

The Director's Seat - Andy's Blog
This is probably a one-off that I'm passing off as the start of something grander to legitimize not studying for my last exam of 2011 over here in the Netherlands, but it's fun to dream. I'm well aware that the field of sports + pop culture combo blogging is quite crowded, but its crowded because it's kind of fun. This will almost certainly be a summer-only feature, and we'll switch back to a sports-only format once we have Michigan athletics to broadcast again. For now, bookmark this right next to your Simmons and Deadspin tabs.
Summer is either upon us or right around the corner, and there has always been a distinct "summer" style of music that I really enjoy. It's light, breezy, and jangly, and two new releases from hotly tipped bands have finally hit the interwebs.
First up is Cults' eponymously titled debut album, due May 31st, streaming exclusively via NPR. You can find it here. I just caught Cults in Amsterdam and they were really good, and this album starts as strong as any I've listened to all year. It's pleasant pop music for a pleasant summer. Here's the third track, "You Know What I Mean," which was a stunner live.
The much anticipated new album from Atlanta punks Black Lips, Arabia Mountain, has made its way to the internet ahead of its June 7 release date, and on first listen it sounds like all the concerns fans had about new producer Mark Ronson were unfounded. Perhaps slightly more sedate than their past albums, Arabia Mountain is still sure to be one of the most talked about albums of 2011. Here's a sample.
The only band whose album has actually already come out, Explosions in the Sky returned in 2011 with Take Care, Take Care, Take Care. The album is more of the same from the Austin-based band, which is to say atmospheric, soaring rock void of vocals. The result can be chilling if you're patient enough with the songs.
If that sound is familiar, it's because EITS provided much of the music for both the movie and TV versions of Friday Night Lights, which leads me to my next segment...
Everyone is watching Friday Night Lights on NBC, right? Because it's an incredible show, and in basically every way the best. Much more than a football drama (it doesn't hurt to be a football fan), this show captures human relationships better than any show I've ever watched, and it is a wholly engrossing viewing experience. The fifth (and final) season aired last fall on DirecTV, and NBC is in the middle of the fifth season now (Friday nights, 8 pm ET). Seriously, if you haven't already, do yourself the favor and start from the beginning and grow with this series. You couldn't ask for a better series. You'll find yourself wishing Michigan could hire Coach Eric Taylor to be a QB coach or something, I promise. Clear Eyes, Full Hearts, Can't Lose. Here's an introduction for the uninitiated.
I won't get into more TV for now, as most shows I watch have wrapped up their seasons, but everyone should be doing their best to stay up to date with Parks and Recreation.
Finally, Vulture brings us a handy guide to summer movies in a form most of you should find familiar: F, Marry, Kill: The Summer Movie Edition. It's full of great looking movies to be released this Summer, but perhaps the most important revelation is that there is going to be a 4th Spy Kids movie! I loved the first one, when I was 11, but the last two weren't worth watching. I won't bother posting all the trailers that look good, but suffice it to say I will certainly be seeing Harry Potter, The Debt, and 30 Minutes or Less in theaters.
Here's the trailer for 30 Minutes or Less, starring Jesse Eisenberg, Aziz Ansari, and Danny McBride - a dream team of sorts. Be warned the trailer is NSFW.
There are some really great looking documentaries included in that lineup, which should serve as a reminder to take full advantage of the Michigan Theater's summer documentary series running June-August! Their Facebook page has all the details. A personal suggestion? Blood Into Wine, a documentary about Tool frontman Maynard James Keenan's winery operation, featuring a whole slew of comedians, musicians, and actors.
(Inter)national Sports
Novak Djokovic's amazing start to 2011 continues as the French Open gets underway at Roland Garros. Djoko is now 38-0 to start the year and chasing all kinds of history. Rafael Nadal has owned the clay in Paris for quite some time now, but Djokovic could be on target to knock Nadal off and claim his first French Open title. S.L. Price wrote a great piece in the latest Sports Illustrated that's worth your time. Find it here.
Michigan alum and benefactor Fred Wilpon is in the news again, this time for criticizing stars Jose Reyes, David Wright, and Carlos Beltran in the midst of the Mets' on and off the field struggles. He doesn't say anything particularly wrong, but the candor is unusual. It appears that all three stars are in play for moves elsewhere.
Last night Joakim Noah became the second high profile player caught on TV dropping a homophobic slur, and while he quickly apologized, it will always come off as hollow. The NBA will almost certainly levy a fine like they did against Kobe Bryant, but none of this addresses the larger problem that homophobic slurs are a popular component of jock culture. With the recent news that Suns CEO Rick Welts is openly gay, the issue of homophobia in the NBA and in sports culture at large has been brought to the forefront, where it should be addressed candidly. It's time to hold athletes to a standard of basic human decency, and Steve Nash appears to be leading the pack.
Though Lance Armstrong has been dogged by doping allegations his entire career in a sport notorious for widespread doping, some of the strongest allegations yet have emerged from former teammates Tyler Hamilton and George Hincappie. 60 Minutes has the video report. Lance has always enjoyed a strong defense from sports fans and the American media, and it will be interesting to see whether these overwhelmingly damning allegations can finally tarnish his record-setting image. I've always found myself rooting for Armstrong and dismissing doping rumors as the work of the jealous French, but now we're forced to confront whether former American teammates would lie about Armstrong using illegal substances.
Chelsea F.C. fired respected manager Carlo Ancelotti yesterday, despite finishing second in the English Premier League, and winning the league in 2009-10. Roman Abramovich is a madman. Meanwhile, my Arsenal limped to a pathetic finish in the EPL, going from in the running for four trophies to fourth place in the EPL in a mere couple of months. So is the wild world of international football.
Revenue sports are done for the year, and football recruiting will be the subject of dedicated posts throughout the summer. If you've been paying attention at all you should know that Brady Hoke and Co. are absolutely destroying it on the recruiting trail, and are on pace for Michigan's best recruiting class in recent memory. So that's fun.
In more somber news, Michigan was eliminated from the NCAA softball tournament yesterday after a heartbreaking 2-1 loss to Kentucky that featured a 7th-inning collapse. The loss not only ends the season for Coach Hutch, but also marks the end of the historic careers of Jordan Taylor and Dorian Shaw. Big, big holes to fill next season. Recap on MGoBlue.com.
Lion Kim continues to be awesome, and Michigan surged to a win at their NCAA regional to earn a place in the NCAA championships in Oklahoma. Kim shot a career-best 65 to pace Michigan. He'll go down as one of Michigan's all-time greats, and treated M fans everywhere to quite a thrill following him at the Masters. The season is far from over for Michigan, which will be looking to pull the massive upset and take down #1 Oklahoma State in Stillwater. Recap on MGoBlue.com.
That's going to do it for now. Please leave feedback here, or hit me up on Twitter , and we'll see about making this a regular summer feature if people like it.
Most importantly, this thing needs a proper name if it's going to continue. Suggestions appreciated and acknowledged!

Darius Morris' correct call
Look, we were all disappointed when Darius Morris decided to venture forth into the NBA. We all knew what a great team we would've had last year. However, this is not like Manny Harris' decision to leave early. Everyone predicted Manny to be a second rounder at best, and then he ended up undrafted. However, Morris has clearly received different information. Sporting News and nbadraft.net each have Morris all the way up to the seventeenth pick of the draft, to the New York Knicks. Meanwhile, the Hoops Report has Morris going 21st to the Trailblazers. While there are still some big mock drafts leaving Morris out of the first round (Sports Illustrated's Sam Amick for example) but the general consensus is that Morris is a first-round pick. There's still a lot of time for his stock to rise or fall, but based on the information he had come deadline time (to stay in the draft or pull out) he made the right decision based on the information available to him.

Semester Wrap Up
As I'm sure you can tell from a lack of activity over the last couple weeks, the 2010-11 WCBN Sports season has drawn to a close. We're done with official programming for the summer (though we may pop up here and there with a spring sport or a podcast), and it's been one heck of a year for the department. From the Denarding in South Bend and the Lexi Zimmerman show at Cliff Keen to the Big Chill and Big Dance, we've been there for some of the greatest Michigan moments ever. Hell, WCBN even got to broadcast a hockey national championship game. Sure there have been some lows, namely that debacle in Columbus, the Indiana Hoosier traffic management team, and flag football team Gus' Johnson's playoff loss, but on a whole we've made it to the end of another great year and have plenty to add to WCBN Sports lore.
Rest assured that we'll be discussing new ways to grow and improve the product WCBN Sports puts out, and we're hoping to come back in the Fall stronger than ever. Nothing makes us happier than knowing people are listening and enjoying our broadcasts and sports talk, and we'd all like to extend a huge thank you to everyone who supported us this past year. If you like what we do, your job now is to spread the word about WCBN Sports! This blog will be periodically updated throughout the summer, our Twitter account @WCBNSports will remain active, and we'll keep everybody informed about upcoming events, programming, etc. We love our listeners, and not only do we hope you return next season, but we also hope you bring a new listener or two into the fold. Thank you so much for all your support!
Go Blue!

What sets Emberall apart in the personal video history market?
Interview clips, taken in a single session or over time, are stored in unique albums. The compilation of these clips result in a life story video that can be viewed as a whole or in brief, natural segments online or on your personalized DVD – bound in a beautiful faux leather case.
Comparable professional service packages range from $1000-$3000 in price. Now, through Emberall's straightforward interface, you can create your own individualized albums at a fraction of the cost.
Is the app difficult to use?
Emberall may be downloaded on any smart phone. When opened, the app automatically guides you through the process.
The first screen allows you to create an album i.e. "Mom's history." From here, you may select a common interview question or create one of your own. A "record" button will appear. Hit record to begin recording and stop to finish. You will be asked if you wish to save or delete your clip. If you delete, you will be given the option to record again. When you are satisfied, hit the "save" button. The app will seamlessly process and upload the video to your Emberall album, freeing the memory on your phone for further recordings or other activities.
How will I know what to ask during an interview?
The Emberall menu offers 14 categories ranging from "Growing Up" to "Advice and Wisdom" with 4-8 high-impact questions in each category. Those most frequently chosen are starred.
How do I track which of the suggested questions have already been recorded?
Previously recorded questions are highlighted in green.
Can I edit my videos once they are uploaded?
Once you've uploaded your videos and logged into your account online, the dropdown menu for each clip gives you the options to share, edit title, download, make private or delete that segment.
What if I want to record in a location without wifi?
No problem. Once you've installed the app, you may use it even without an internet connection. After you save a clip, the file is held in your local memory and automatically uploaded the next time you open the app while connected to wifi.
How do I view my albums?
You may view your albums and recordings online, download them to your device, or order a DVD.
What is the advantage of Emberall's video storage system?
Emberall automatically organizes your clips and gives you flexibility in how you store or share your files.
When you record a clip and tap "save," the video is automatically uploaded to the selected album titled by question. You may store several hours of clips within each album. Of course, you may view the entire album as a whole, but the titled, segmented storage allows quick retrieval and playback of any particular clip online or on your DVD.
How many albums may I store on Emberall?
Once you have signed in, you may create as many separate albums as you wish.
What about sharing?
You may share all or portions of your albums with selected friends or family on social media. When sharing an entire album, you have the option to mark particular segments as private and share the rest. You can also just share individual recordings.
Can multiple people record to single album?
If multiple people log into the same account on their devices, they can all record videos in the same album. For instance, if several cousins would like to spend a few minutes recording grandmother on their visits, they may, with your permission, log into your account and record videos in your grandmother's album. Questions previously recorded are highlighted in green to prevent duplicate interviews.
How do I order a DVD?
When you are satisfied with your album, you are ready to order. Inside the album, click "Buy this album" at the bottom of the screen. The first DVD/USB is included with your license for free. The entire album, except the portions marked as "private," will be burned to a DVD and shipped for free (in the continental US) to the address you provide. DVDs typically hold about 2 hours of footage. If your subject requires more than two hours, a second DVD may be included at no additional cost to you. (Please note that lengthy histories or histories of multiple people with several hours of footage should be placed in separate albums.)
Can I use Emberall for personal videos other than histories?
Emberall's functionality is optimized for personal history interviews. However, users have also used the Emberall platform to archive and share exciting moments in the lives of their children, weddings, or special thoughts or memories at a family gathering or funeral.

A secondary benefit of hunting waterfowl is the collection of choice feathers for steelhead fly tying. Duck flank feathers are often used throats or wrapped collar hackles. Mallard flank feathers are light grey with faint dark barring. American widgeon suppy flank feathers that are barred and of a rosy-tan color. The bronze feathers from the back of the mallard drake supply the necessary plumes for the characteristic strip wings of Spey flies like this Lady Caroline. Prized bronze mallard plumes are eagerly sorted and paired for the creation of great wings.
Month: November 2009
November Fisherman's Pluck
The Medford wetlands have been more of my environs lately than the Rogue River. With the steelhead run and numbers low right now it is a good time to check on the local waterfowl. The local coots are fair company on a cold, foggy morning. I let them raft around me like friendly decoys.
Along the Rogue River ponds and sloughs I've discovered plentiful greenwing teal. There are mallards present too, usually just in pairs. So far the greenheads have been very elusive.
The A60 Canon camera is coming back from earlier near dunkings. Occasionally it has an issue or two with cold wet mornings. At home I've taken to storing the Canon in a bag of white rice. That very much has helped take the wet out of the electronics.
The Denman Wildlife Area still holds a pheasant or two in late November. I was lucky and tickled to stumble on this bird as he took to wing. A picture perfect flush still imprinted vividly in my mind's eye.
Jon ventured north from central California. I was hoping he'd come up here, but this November he opted to veer off to the trout of Eagle Lake near Susanville, California. He did quite well. This was his largest fish caught with a black mud dog jig. Brrr…that pretty northern California scenery looks cold.
November rain and near snow on the Rogue
Below normal cold weather and icy precipitation nearly send us home early on this mid November day, but we endured the conditions and eventually connected and landed a nice Rogue River steelhead on a conehead leech. Several early hookups had come unglued.
It took sweeping the driftboat and fly back and forth across some wide, featureless water. I could imagine the black rabbit strip undulating beneath the surface. The take was deceptive. Many of the cold water takes right now feel like no more than a soft tension and pull to the line…a mouthy glom on.
The conehead rabbit strip obviously is a leech pattern. It is not a fly that I am that familiar with. Appears that behind the conehead comes first a deer hair collar, followed by a silver chenille body, overlayed with a narrow black rabbit fur strip. The black rabbit fur is ribbed to the hook and body with strong silver wire. Additionally sparse red flashabou and pearl crystal flash are added as further attraction.
Obviously the steelhead will go for them. I've found small leeches under rocks before. Like the abundant stonefly nymph, they are natural to the river.
Early November along the Rogue
Great Fall action abounds along Oregon's Rogue River.
November begins on the upper Rogue River
November has arrived on the upper Rogue and now is a safe bet that good numbers of biting steelhead are there. I stopped by a familar stretch this late afternoon and after a few cast hooked up with this beautiful male steelhead.
On only the sixth or seventh cast into a familiar run with a Silver Heron Atlantic salmon pattern I struck to a deceptively trout like pull. I felt solid weight and I knew I had a fish. He ran strong downriver and showed with a couple of nice jumps. After a matter of time I pulled him to shore from the cold cover of the Rogue River.
The second half of October has been a whirl of waterfowl, blacktail deer and wild mushroom hunting for me. The Siskiyou Mountains have held the lure of the latter. The wild, shaggy mane mushrooms finally made their appearance during November. For a look at the first of them go to the More Wild Fungi page.

I had a huge serving of popcorn at 4:00 as a snack. So, I decided that I would have a sensible salad for dinner. Maybe something like this:
But, then I made this for my kids:
And while I was making their plates, that innocent looking sandwich threw it's Mack-a-Flama-Rama on me and made my head whirl.
I knew that if I didn't make one for myself I was just going to end up eating their cold, soggy left-overs, which is nasty. So instead of a salad, I made this for Oz-some Jeff and I:
A grown-up grilled cheese with turkey and avocado. I used butter on that bread and two slices of Kraft deluxe cheese so it's definitely not low fat. But at just 3.2 grams, it is low sugar.
And I made a side salad to make myself feel better about it.
You know what? It was totally worth the calories, and I'm going to tell myself that it's a wash since I ran today.
In retrospect, I wish I had used laughing cow cheese because everything is better with a laughing cow.
Go ahead. Make your self one.

Few will realize that the plot next to PDP, being used by the Maharashtra State Road Development Corporation for its temporary offices, could have been lost to a 4-storeyed office block!
One day, the Governing Council was surprised to see pilings being set deep into the earth for a permanent and large structure for the MSRDC's offices in South Mumbai.
This was a clear breach of the Coastal Regulation Zone (CRZ) Rules, apart from a violation of multiple other rules, regulations and laws. The Governing Council took on what seemed a losing battle, but pro-bono support came from a band of lawyers who took up the case. And the Bombay High Court gave its patient ear to the plaint of a small NGO from a corner of the city of Mumbai. The case was won. MSRDC was asked to vacate and restore the land to its earlier state.

"At first I thought it was terrorists but then none of them exploded so it was OK"
Another fan called Gianluca said "ita wasa soooo funny, like chicken cross road joke. Why? Do make lasagne! ha ha a haha"
And another fan called Mario said "I have had the weirdest fucking two days. I banged my head against this pipe I fell down when I was fixing something, and suddenly I was in this magical world where a giant dinosaur kept trying to rape this really hot princess and I felt compelled to help for no real reason. And there was this little mushroom talking dude. I dunno what was going on really but I just went along with it".
Last night my girlfriend assured me that if the USA had to, and I promise I'm not making this up, they could make genetically modified dinosaurs that were nuclear proof to fight Russia.

While it is true that a timeshare contract is a binding legal document, it is often mistakenly thought that such a contract cannot only be cancelled. In fact, most timeshare companies maintain that their contracts are non – cancellable. This misconception is perpetuated by timeshare companies and user groups that are funded, maintained and controlled by the timeshare industry.

NEW YORK (CNNMoney) -- The Securities and Exchange Commission charged six former executives of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac with securities fraud on Friday for misrepresenting their holdings of high-risk mortgage loans.
The SEC is targeting three former executives of Freddie Mac, including chief executive officer Daniel Mudd, chief risk officer Enrico Dallavecchia and executive vice president of single-family mortgage business Thomas Lund.
The agency is also going after three former executives of Fannie Mae: CEO Richard Syron, executive vice president and chief business officer Patricia Cook and executive vice president for the single family guarantee business Donald Bisenius.
The SEC is seeking financial penalties against them, but did not specify an amount.
Mortgage finance giants Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae, which play a central role in the U.S. housing market by keeping the cost of mortgages lower, received the biggest federal bailout of the financial crisis.
In addition, top executives have drawn some $100 million in pay.

Palmyra, New York 14522.
This is a story of how we restored an old 28-50 Hart-Parr, one of which is now forty years old. We have the 62nd one of this model made.
The tractor was first used in a sawmill between Palmyra and Walworth in 1927. It stayed there for several years. It was then sold to another farmer for a threshing tractor and another sawmill. This farmer sold the tractor. Then it was used for power in the Walworth feed mill. Later this mill burned with the tractor in it. It was then purchased by the Duell Bros. of Walworth. They completely rebuilt it and used it many years to thresh in the areas of Walworth, Palmyra, and Marion. Finally it was sold to a junk dealer of whom I purchased it. There it sat with weeds and grapevines covering it over, rusted and pitted from years of sitting outdoors.
After a close examination, I found that all parts were there and in fair condition. I decided to buy the tractor and after some dickering, it was mine. It did not run, so there was a problem on how to get it home. The final decision was made. A neighbor of mine offered to help me.
It was a nice day in May, but the wind was quite cold. The trip was about 14 miles and going was slow. We had several spectators wondering what in the world anyone would want or could do with such an awkward looking thing. The trip took the better part of the day, but was well worth it.
After I got it home, everyone was interested in helping to make it run. My father, who was a thresher for many years and knew old tractors as good as anyone, was the greatest assistant an old tractor owner could have. My brother-in-law was looking for a hobby and really interested, rolled up his sleeves and pitched in. Even my wife was willing to help scrape and clean our old antique.
I wrote several letters to tractor parts companies for information and always the answers were the same. 'Too Old; No Parts Available.' However, I did get a lot of information from the Oliver people. They were swell in coming through with a mimeographed copy of the original Operators Manual. After talking to several members of our Pioneer Gas Engine Association, who have had the same problems as mine, I was able to get ideas on how to defeat this problem.
The magneto was completely shot and a rebuilt one had to be installed.
This I purchased through Rochester Magneto for about $45.00. The gaskets were all in bad shape, wiring poor and oil leaked everywhere. The carburetor was set up for the tractor had always burned kerosene. The butterfly was completely ate up.
My brother who operates a machine shop really came through for us although he has no interest in our hobby. We bought gasket material and started cutting gaskets. I guess we ruined two good jackknives before we were done. With new wiring, oil piping, and gasoline piping, the day of reckoning was near. These jobs took almost three months to complete with all hands working. When we put each part back together, we made sure there was plenty of oil. With the help of the Operators Manual, we set the timing and were ready to go.
You know that darned thing started right off. Smoke! You couldn't see anything for awhile. Soon with a little adjustment, the old thing was running smooth as silk. Rides were given to every member of the family. What a joy to operate a machine that is forty years old.
We then entered the tractor in the Pioneer Gas Show at Fairville, New York. What enjoyment this was to work and exhibit with fellow club members. Millions of questions were asked on how does it work? and how did you get enough parts to make it run? With all these questions to answer and free rides to be given, three days flew by in all too big of a hurry. At the end of the show, my father and brother-in-law decided it would be a great joy to run the tractor back home on its own power. We had it trucked to the show.
The following Sunday afternoon, they set forth. The trip back home is about 14 miles, traveling the back roads and keeping off the main highways. Normally the trip would take 4? hours at a speed of 3? miles per hour in high gear. They took about 8 hours, giving free rides to everyone along the way, and stopping to answer questions. There were several family reunions in progress and what an occasion it was for them to see such a relic as this traveling under its own power. My father and brother-in-law finally arrived home, tired and hoarse, but what a lot of fun the trip had been to them. This is a memory to last forever and can never be measured in dollars and cents.
Roy Jansen looking over wagon load of engines. Getting ready for Show time-American Thresherman Show. Roy is one of my eight sons. (That's Roy at corner of wagon.)
In August we took the old Hart-Parr to the Steam Pageant at Canandaigua and demonstrated it again for 4 days. What a thrill it is to have an old-timer come up to you and say, 'I used to have one of these. Could I have just one ride on it and maybe steer it a little?' This fun and enjoyment is what our club is for. Without this, the fun of just owning the tractor would soon lose its fantasy and be just another piece of equipment.
With the year at an end, and the old Hart-Parr put away for the winter, one can look forward to another year of fun and excitement. Although this was a first for us, we are hoping that somewhere, sometime, we can make someone happy by giving them a ride and letting them steer. This, I think is the true meaning of our clubs, for without this, we ourselves could not enjoy the hobby.
All work 14-28. Picture taken in Leoti, Kansas.

The state has asked residents to refrain from eating certain fish from Mountain Island Lake due to high levels of PCBs.
On Thursday, Jan. 6, the N.C. Division of Public Health issued a fish consumption advisory for channel catfish and largemouth bass in Mountain Island Lake in Gaston and Mecklenburg Counties. The S.C. Department of Health and Environmental Control also issued additional health consumption advisories for Lake Wylie, the Catawba River from Lake Wylie to Fishing Creek, Fishing Creek Reservoir and Cedar Creek Reservoir.
Elevated levels of PCBs were found in channel catfish and health officials are recommending that people avoid eating those from Mountain Island Lake.
PCB testing in largemouth bass from Mountain Island Lake was indeterminate, but state health officials said previous studies have shown that largemouth bass in all waters of North Carolina have elevated levels of mercury.
The advisory comes a year after the federal Environmental Protection Agency released a study showing that more than 13,000 lakes throughout the country have fish contaminated with polychlorinated byphenyl (PCB), the cancer-causing toxin.
Pregnant women, nursing women, women who may become pregnant, and children under age 15 should not eat any largemouth bass. To guard against mercury exposure and potential PCB exposure, state health officials said other people should not eat more than two meals a month of largemouth bass from Mountain Island Lake. A meal is considered approximately 6 ounces of uncooked fish.
PCBs may adversely impact the neurological development of children, the reproductive system, the immune system, and may cause cancer. Mercury mostly affects nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord, especially in unborn babies and young children. Prenatal mercury exposure can affect the way children think, learn and solve problems later in life. Adverse health effects also can occur in adults at much higher doses.
The PCB and mercury contamination in the fish does not present a known health risk for people engaging in other recreational activities such as swimming, boating or handling the fish.
"These results undoubtedly show us that PCB contamination is a widespread problem in the Catawba River and its lakes," Catawba Riverkeeper David Merryman said. "We need to continue sampling the Catawba from Lake James to Lake Norman and make sure the proper advisories are in place to protect residents from contaminated fish. Furthermore, the source of this contamination must be found and stopped from further contaminating our river and its fish."
The Catawba Riverkeeper Foundation also collected, analyzed and released largemouth bass fish tissue results in June 2010 showing elevated PCB concentrations in Mountain Island Lake.
PCBs were used as coolants and lubricants in transformers, capacitors and other electrical equipment, but were outlawed in 1977 because of evidence they build up in the environment and could cause harmful health effects. Products made before 1977 that may contain PCBs include old fluorescent lights and electrical devices containing PCB capacitors and hydraulic oils.
Although the chemicals were outlawed more than three decades ago, they have stuck around, said Greg Pillar, a professor of environmental science at Queens University of Charlotte.
"They are extremely persistent, meaning once they are in the environment, whether that is in the air or water, they don't easily degrade and disappear," Pillar said.
Fish can come into contact with small amounts of PCBs throughout their lifetime and those PCBs accumulate in their fatty tissue, Pillar said.
Before enacting the advisory for Mountain Island Lake, the state had consumption advisories for seven lakes and creeks across the state because studies found fish high in PCBs. The most recent, enacted in February for Badin Lake in Stanly County, advises residents not eat more than one meal per week of catfish or large mouth bass.

An analyst at Here is the City researched the most common reasons why employees get fired.
The good news is this: most of the deeds that could lead to you being laid off are totally avoidable.
For example, being drunk at work and sexually harassing co-workers is an obvious no-no.
Other justifications for sacking a worker is more subjective.

My Trip to Haiti -- Part III
|My bed in the guesthouse, with mosquito net.
Sunday was a relatively lazy day. Amelia and I woke up early and had a relaxed breakfast of oatmeal with a very unusual and yummy flavor to it. I said it was anise. She said it was cinnamon, and after some good-natured arguing she bet me $5. Later, we asked Eloise what the spice was. She said it was cinnamon, and also some anise. We called it a tie.
After breakfast, Amelia went to church and I wandered down the path to the edge of the area where the tents are set up. I didn't feel comfortable going further back -- those are people's homes, and I hadn't been invited -- so I sat under a giant mango tree near the tent where the food is prepared. I attempted to chat with Fatima, the baby's mother. She is 19, and the baby's father was sent by his family to Port-Au-Prince when she got pregnant. We tried to converse in French, but since it is neither of our first languages it was a stretch for both of us.
After a while a bunch of kids went up to the gazebo outside the guest house, which serves as the center for all activities on the property. They decided to play school, and I joined them to watch. After a while one girl started banging on a drum and the others played musical chairs. It was truly amazing how busy they kept each other and how effortlessly they played together.
Two little boys ran around while all this was going on and occupied themselves by repeatedly sneaking up behind me and poking me in the back. What could be more fun? One of the little boys is Georges, age 4. While he was generally having a good time, he burst out crying every time anything even vaguely didn't go his way. I wondered if this was a post-traumatic reaction, so I asked Eloise whether he was like that before the earthquake. Sure enough, he wasn't. Apparently he was hit by a beam in the quake and lost a big piece of his scalp. His parents couldn't get him help right away, and, at 4, he told his mother he knew he was going to die. He looks fine now, but the fear is still there.
I played with another little girl who was enjoying writing me questions in Kreyol which I would answer, in writing, in French. She asked me my name, my age, and other basics. Then she asked where my mother was. I told her they were in the United States. Then I asked where her mother was, and she simply put her finger against her throat and made a slicing motion. Her mother is dead. She is 7.
In the afternoon, I was completely exhausted, mostly from the heat. I was trying hard to stay hydrated, but it was not easy. Most of the water in Haiti is not potable, and the drinking water at the guest house is bought by tanker truck and placed in giant barrels on the porch several times a week. There also is no electricity since the earthquake, so they use a generator 6-12 hours a day. This meant that when I went to lie down for a nap, I couldn't use a fan. You wouldn't think a mosquito net would trap heat, but it does. Luckily, a thunderstorm in the late afternoon cooled things off substantially, and I was able to stop sweating quite so much and catch up on my water.
Hillary, a play therapist from Canada, arrived and we began planning in earnest for camp the next day. Before bed, I wrote in my journal,
I don't know how I feel about tomorrow. I want to help. . . . (But mostly) I want to help right. We'll see.
Tomorrow: Herding Cats
Topics: children, earthquake, Haiti, stress symptoms

Chocolate and Foil by Jeff Hayes
oil on masonite
10'' x 10"
I've ignored my own blog here lately. I've been busy working on compositions to submit to the company in Chicago for a possible commission. I received word a few days ago that they like what they saw. The images have all been approved, and a deposit check has also been sent. Good news. Now all I have to do is paint them. Which, for anyone who follows this blog, knows for me that means - freak out time.
Since my last post I have managed to work on a new painting for Stricoff Fine Art, Ltd. in New York. It's a piece I began months ago, and never finished. The Print Pack Inc. commission was dominating all my time. It's nearly done, and should be ready to ship within the next few weeks. I'll post an image of it as soon as it is complete. The lack of time I've been able to spend workng for the galleries has been very distressing for me, but it's difficult, especially now, to reject work that pays immediately. Hopefully, I can finish this new commission quickly, and get back to work for the galleries very soon.

Regional Reviews: Philadelphia
Tooth and Claw
Also see Warren's review of The Great Ostrovsky
The "simple" plot of Hollinger's play concerns Dr. Schuyler Baines (Susan McKey), a renowned biologist who moves to the Galapagos Islands to work at the Darwin Research Station to help save the endangered giant tortoises. Hindered by her inability to speak Spanish, Schuyler soon finds herself in over her head as the exigencies of saving tortoises are connected to a larger ecosystem in which animal and human lives are intricately intertwined. Given a tip that pepinos (sea cucumbers) are being harvested in illegal numbers by poor fisherman who are inadvertently damaging the fragile ecosystem through their actions, Schuyler attempts to stop this massive attack of environmental violence. Her efforts are met with backlash, though, as her precious tortoises are slaughtered by the fishermen in an act of retaliation and revenge. Schuyler and her colleagues soon find themselves held hostage by the rebel fishermen in what essentially turns out to be a battle to survive. Pitting animals against humans and humans against humans in a game where there are no easy winners, Hollinger's work makes Darwin's notion of "survival of the fittest" strikingly relevant for the 21st century.
What might have been merely an action thriller (and the play is extremely suspenseful) is handled with the utmost detail and nuance by Hollinger who asks complex and difficult questions from "How do we decide what makes one type of life or animal more valuable than another?" to "Are there circumstances in which humans should step in and aid in the "natural" process of evolution?" These questions aren't just theoretical, but are carefully posed again and again in a multitude of situations in which the answers are always changing depending on the context. Hollinger's genius is that he is able to pose such epic problems while simultaneously maintaining an amazing sense of intimacy and humanity vis-à-vis the characters. In less talented hands, Tooth and Claw would be a dry "talking heads" play, but Hollinger serves the audience with real flesh and blood characters who possess complex feelings, flaws, and real emotional depth. The fact that we come to identify with many of the play's figures only serves to further complicate the ideological positions that they each advocate and represent.
Hollinger's rich writing is well executed by one of the strongest acting ensembles to recently grace the stage. From the group of Galapagos fisherman who often serve as a sort of Greek chorus to the action to the principal figures, each actor brings insight and depth to his/her role. It is worth noting that, in a season that recently gave us an all-Latino cast with the Pulitzer Prize-winning Anna in the Tropics, it is exciting to see yet another play that primarily utilizes Latino actors and provides them with multidimensional roles. Similarly, in keeping with the sense of verisimilitude which the play establishes, Hollinger does not shy away from incorporating a great deal of Spanish into his script. As this is ultimately a play about communication and the translation of ideas between cultures, this linguistic element only serves to enrich Hollinger's already ambitious piece.
Cast-wise, Susan McKey gives a brilliant and moving performance as Schuyler Baines. It of course helps that Hollinger has given her (and the other characters) such wonderful dialogue that flawlessly mediates between mundane activities and those issues that are epic in scope. Schuyler's moments with Malcolm (Donald Grody), a fellow scientist, intellectual, and father figure for Schuyler, provide quiet, touching and insightful pauses in a play that frequently erupts into fiery debate and, at times, violence. Strong work is also provided by David Grillo as Carlos, Schuyler's gay co-worker who feels limited by the glass ceiling imposed by the Western world on South American scientists, preventing them from advancing in the world of research. In a supporting role, the talented Shirley Roeca as Ana, the Darwin Center's secretary, lends some humor and levity to the proceedings of this serious work.
Hollinger's play is given a first-rate production under the direction of Terrence J. Nolen who uses the thrust stage design (appropriately covered with sand, rocks, and wood to evoke the Galapagos) by James Kronzer to effective use. Despite the limited playing area, Nolen stages the work with a sense of expansiveness that matches the play's far-reaching and ambitious aims.
Evolution might not sound like an engaging evening of theater, but Hollinger has written an important play for our time that is entirely engrossing. Anyone who wants to see an excellent example of well-honed theatrical writing that will leave you thinking and discussing its ideas for a long time to come should quickly head to the Arden before this work becomes "extinct."
Tooth and Claw runs through April 11 at the Arden Theatre Company, 40 N. 2nd Street, Philadelphia, PA. For schedule and tickets, call 215-922-1122 or visit www.ardentheatre.org. Running Time: Two hours and fifteen minutes with one 15-minute intermission.

Greg Finch A Skilled Orthopedic Surgeon
A common orthopedic procedure is joint replacement. Joint replacement is a procedure done when a damaged joint is replaced with a new joint. This type of orthopedic procedure can occur when an individual is having great difficulty climbing steps, walking, and showering on a daily basis. During a joint replacement procedure an individual will be given medicine that blocks out feeling pain. During the procedure a synthetic joint will be put in to replace the damaged joint. After undergoing this type of surgery an individual will begin exercising with a physical therapist.
Another common orthopedic procedure is anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. During this procedure several small incisions are made around the knee. Then saline solution is pumped into the knee area. Then an arthroscope is inserted. The camera inserted at the end of the anthroscope allows images to be transmitted onto a monitor. Then drills are inserted in the bones that meet at the knee joint to form a tunnel. Then the graft is put into the area it is secured with hardware. Then the incisions are closed up. The goal of this orthopedic procedure is to restore strength in the knee.
Greg Finch is an Australian orthopedic surgeon. He has impressive training experience. In 1991 he obtained educational experience at Auckland Medical School. In 2001 he was associated with FRACS. Then in 2004 Greg Finch became part of the Australian Orthopedic Association.
