By Kyle Warner
Takashi Miike began his prolific career as a director in 'V-Cinema,' Japan's direct-to-video film productions. His first film that was meant as a theatrical release from the very start was his 1995 dark crime picture, Shinjuku Triad Society: Chinese Mafia War. And though Miike would return to V-Cinema afterwards, with notable movies such as Full Metal Yakuza and Visitor Q, Shinjuku Triad Society put theatres on notice; the madness of Miike could no longer be contained on VHS and DVD alone.
The Black Society Trilogy is one of Miike's earliest and best works as an auteur in extreme cinema. The three films—Shinjuku Triad Society, Rainy Dog, and Ley Lines—all tell stories about outsiders in Japan's underworld and the violent hardships they must endure. The Black Society Trilogy is a 'trilogy' only in the loosest sense. Like Chan-wook Park's Vengeance Trilogy, Miike's trio of dark crime dramas is connected by shared themes and cast members, but not by any continued plot thread.
"I know a love story both sickening and sweet," begins Shinjuku Triad Society, a film about devotion told with buckets of blood. Detective Kiriya (Kippei Shiina) is looking to dismantle the Taiwanese Triad group known as the Dragon's Claw. The leader of the Dragon's Claw remains unknown to the police, but the streets are now overflowing with blood and guns. Working his way up the food chain, Det. Kiriya identifies the leader to be Wang (Tomorowo Taguchi), a gay Taiwanese gangster whose criminal enterprise appears to be international in scope.
Making matters worse is the fact that Det. Kiriya's younger brother is an attorney for the Dragon's Claw group. And though Kiriya would like to save his brother from getting further involved with the criminal underworld, it becomes increasingly clear that his brother does not want to be saved.
The way the cops eliminate leads and work their way up to Wang is slightly reminiscent of procedurals like The Wire, but only on the surface. This film is quintessential Miike, made at a time when he most enjoyed pushing the extremes, even if that meant giving in to some unfavorable thematic obsessions. When intimidation does not work to break the will of a male suspect, Det. Kiriya orders a fellow cop to rape the man from behind. It's sick. Perhaps even more disgusting is that Kiriya himself rapes a female suspect later in the film in the same fashion, and that the woman enjoys it enough to come back to her rapist and ask for more. This is lurid, offensive, and typically Miike. During this stage of the director's career, sexual violence was a norm. Yes, one can argue that it always serves a point in the story, and at least it's never made to appear sexy (the entirety of Shinjuku Triad Society has a dirty, in-need-of-a-shower aesthetic), but this does not make me feel better about these sections in the film, or similar scenes in other works from Miike.
Others have found issue with the amount of homosexual acts included in the film. However, unlike the two situations noted above, these moments are consensual and highly suggestive in the ways in which they're filmed. It would be fair to say that Shinjuku Triad Society belongs to be mentioned in the LGBT sub-genre of crime dramas, and that may indeed turn off some potential viewers, but I hardly think it's the most provocative thing about the movie.
Still, I do tend to think that Miike hopes to offend you. What's more, I think he aims to disgust you. The most unpleasant sound effects are turned up extra loud, so that even if you wish to close your eyes you still cannot hope to escape the nastiness as it unfolds. One moment, totally pointless beyond setting tone for the film and its central city, has a cop step on a pile of crap in the middle of the street. Squish! The cop stops, takes a closer at the crap, and wonders out loud, "Is that… human?"
What ultimately makes the movie hum is the solid character work from the film's leads. Kippei Shiina (Outrage) is a character actor with a wide range. He's very good as Det. Kiriya, a flawed character that blurs the line between antihero and co-villain in the picture. Raised by a Japanese father and a Taiwanese mother who can't speak Japanese, Kiriya does not fit in with others either in his homeland Taiwan or in his adult life in Japan. He's corrupt, he's abusive… he makes Dirty Harry look like a by-the-book detective. But the one thing he loves is his family, and he does everything to protect it, even if that means going to war with the Triads to save his brother. I found it impossible to like Kiriya, but I appreciate Shiina's work in the role.
Wang, a villain involved in organ harvesting, gun running, and prostitution, is almost the more likable character of the two leads. Tomorowo Taguchi (Tetsuo: The Iron Man) has a pair of the darkest, most interesting eyes you'll ever see. They almost look like they're permanently dilated. In a good guy role, it gives Taguchi the look of a wide-eyed innocent. As a villain, Taguchi looks positively mad without having to speak a word. Taguchi's villain Wang almost seems like an early prototype for later Miike villains like Tadanobu Asano's Kakihara in Ichi the Killer. Taguchi is the best part of the movie.
There's good work from other members of the supporting cast, too. Miike favorite Takeshi Caesar (Fudoh) has a fun part as a yakuza who's trying to learn Mandarin to better converse with his new boss, Wang. Cult filmmaker SABU (Unlucky Monkey) plays Kiriya's equally corrupt partner. And popular character actor Ren Osugi (Shin Godzilla) has a minor part as a rival yakuza boss.
The Black Society Trilogy arrives on Blu-ray in the US and UK from Arrow Video. Shinjuku Triad Society looks dark on Blu-ray, but that's largely because that's how the film was made; very dark and very rough around the edges. Though Miike's early films feature the same frenetic energy we've come to expect from the director, but it took him some time to improve behind the camera in terms of setting a scene. The sound included on the new Blu is really good, though. Shinjuku Triad Society shares disc 1 with Rainy Dog (the best film in the trilogy, reviewed earlier by Martin Sandison). Also included on the disc are trailers for the two films and new audio commentaries by Miike expert Tom Mes. Though the release will never be a considered reference quality Blu-ray, I've seen the old ArtsMagic DVD and can attest that it's an upgrade.
With Shinjuku Triad Society you can see Takashi Miike at an early stage of development. He gives in to his worst impulses, he shoots scenes with a devil-may-care sense of style, and yet, at the end he manages to hold the film together with spit and blood, thanks in no small part to his solid cast. And though the film has a crude quality to it, you can sense the burgeoning talent behind the camera. There's no other director quite like Takashi Miike. Rough and unpleasant, dark and weird, Shinjuku Triad Society is unmistakably Miike.
Kyle Warner's Rating: 7/10

The AHRC Network on 'Technoscience, Law and Society' held its inaugural event on the 6 June 2013, organised jointly with Arts Catalyst, providing an opportunity to explore some of the key aspects of the relationships between law, science and society that the Network seeks to interrogate. This discursive event was organised around displays of and introductions to the work of critical artists Carey Young and the Critical Art Ensemble, and academic presentations pertaining to debates in law and science.
• Introduction to the AHRC Network by Dr. Emilie Cloatre and Dr. Martyn Pickersgill
• Presentations by Prof. Alain Pottage and Prof. Robert Dingwall
• Presentation of the work of critical artists Carey Young and Critical Art Ensemble (by Carey Young and Steve Kurts (CAE) or Nicola Triscott (Arts Catalyst)
• Interactive explorations of the key theoretical, methodological and practical issues that arise when exploring the relationships between science, technology and legal processes
Carey Young's work centres on the growing influence of corporations and the legal sphere on individual and collective subjectivity, which she explores using a variety of media including photography, text, video and performance. She has exhibited in group exhibitions at venues including MoMA/PS1 (New York), the New Museum (New York), Hayward Gallery (London), ICA (London), Whitechapel Gallery (London), Neue Berliner Kunstverein (Berlin) and Secession (Vienna), as well as in the Taipei Biennial (2010), Moscow Biennale (2007) and the Sharjah Biennial (2005). Works in public collections include Tate Gallery, Arts Council England, Kadist Art Foundation and Centre Pompidou.
Critical Art Ensemble (CAE) is a collective of five tactical media practitioners of various specializations including computer graphics and web design, film/video, photography, text art, book art, and performance. Formed in 1987, CAE's focus has been on the exploration of the intersections between art, critical theory, technology, and political activism. The group has exhibited and performed at diverse venues internationally, ranging from the street, to the museum, to the internet. Museum exhibitions include the Whitney Museum and The New Museum in NYC; The Corcoran Museum in Washington D.C.; The ICA, London; The MCA, Chicago; Schirn Kunsthalle, Frankfurt; Musée d'Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris; and The London Museum of Natural History.

After years of WTTC/ talking about not having bio children we are finally NTNP! I consider it a victory.
I'm not actively TTC right now only because we have a cruise in early December. I have horrible motion sickness so on past trips I've taken nondrowsy Dramamine from before we boarded our first plane until we arrived home. With my history I don't know if I'd be comfortable taking anything other than ginger and maybe use the acupressure wristband. Neither have worked all that well for me in the past, so it could make for a pretty uncomfortable trip. Since we've been planning and dreaming about it for over a year and DH is especially looking forward to it I don't feel right pushing for a pregnancy before we leave.
On the other hand, DH and I have gone back and forth so much over the idea of another pregnancy that I wouldn't mind getting pregnant asap before he changes his mind again. In the long run I can live with a less than stellar vacation if it means I finally get to raise a child.

In India Himachal Pradesh, Jammu & Kashmir, Uttarakhand are some best states which have a no of exotic hill stations in India as world famous tourist spots.
Although the hill stations in North India always remain cool and full of wonderful scenic locations & pleasant weather conditions; and some of them also witness snow fall and sub zero weather conditions to give its visitors the ultimate cool experience. Jammu, Gulmarg, Sonmarg, Leh, Ladakh, Qazigund, Kokernag, Srinagar, Kufri, Dalhousie, and Shimla are among those locations of the northern hilly areas of India where you can find sub zero temperatures and are also best for the tourists for planning their holiday in India.
While Nainital, Ranikhet, Dehradun, Amritsar, Solan, Sundernagar, Bhuntar, Palampur and Dharamshala are some other places of tourist interests of North India which also witness the near or almost subzero degree weather condition and even experience snowfall many times.

Get the facts about Central Michigan University physics degree, and registering for elective lectures and seminars. As a student, your first stop should be the registrar's office, where you can pick up a free copy of both the academic calendar and course catalog, in order to find available credit classes that you may be interested in taking. Consult with an academic advisor, to ensure that your chosen classes constitute a full-time course load, and fulfills major requirements. Finally, check with the admissions office for assistance with prerequisites, tuition payment deadlines, and Central Michigan University physics courses information. Please use the form above to request admissions info for Central Michigan University.
While a physics degree may not seem like a path to wealth at first glance, many fields are based almost entirely on a math foundation. For instance, both physics as well as engineering make use of algebraic formulas to determine motion and forces on objects, and the stress on materials. In business, financial accounting and stock investing count on the mathematical principle of compound interest over time. Atomic physics classes may be refocused toward practical applications, such as numerical analytics of big data online or statistical interpretation of scientific research results. Further, financial engineers or 'quants' may be called upon to prepare math-based reports for financial management, in order to develop high-speed, stock investment algorithms.
Finally, there is a lot of mathematical calculation behind complex decisions such as whether a business should raise money by issuing stock directly to the public as in the case of Google, or seek long-term loan financing? Both decisions involve quantification of risk and substantial probability analysis. A discount rate is used to determine the present value of the expected returns, and if a business anticipates being highly profitable in the short-term, it may be wiser to take out a bank loan, rather than dilute ownership via exanding the number of shares outstanding. Beyond degree requirements such as Central Michigan University physics major requirements, you may consider Delaware Community College SAT test dates for complementary electives to your primary course of study.

Functional Medicine
Modern Natural Healthcare
I provide the latest in functional medicine. Functional Medicine is a growing field of modern health care. Functional medicine is a system of health care that sees the body as natural system. We work to correct the deficiencies and flaws in your system that are causing your problems rather than suppressing or blocking the symptoms. Functional medicine doctors identify the real causes of many health conditions by using the results of scientifically documented physical and lab tests. Then we use natural therapies such as vitamins, minerals, herbs diet and lifestyle changes to restore health body systems affected.
Functional medicine vs Standard Medical Care
In standard medical care health conditions are seen as isolated problems. Most medical doctors are specialists and don't look the connection between different systems of the body and health problems. These isolated problems are usually treated separately. They are mostly only looking for pathology and not optimal function. Usually drugs or surgery are used to suppress normal body functions and symptoms rather than correcting problems.
In functional medicine we examine the body's physiology to identify the dysfunction and disharmony in the body that is causing a breakdown of health. Once the root cause of a person's health condition is identified it can usually be improved or corrected and health is restored. Since the body is a natural system, there usually are natural solutions to correct most health problems. The key is to find out what is going wrong with a person's physiology and fix it.
Symptoms are Signals
The reason you may not feel your best is because you've developed an unhealthy lifestyle, been exposed to toxic substances or have undergone stress and trauma. Poor diet, stress, environmental and chemical toxins, and lack of exercise, all take a toll on your natural defenses. For awhile, your body is able to cope, and then the body starts to breakdown. These puzzling symptoms may be an early warning that one or more of your body's systems are malfunctioning.
Just like the red warning light in your car that flashes when there is a problem with your engine, a symptom is a signal telling you that an underlying health problem needs to be corrected. Treating a symptom without uncovering the real cause is like placing a piece of black tape over the blinking red warning light. Ignoring the cause of the red warning light can lead to an engine breakdown. Unfortunately, our bodies can't be overhauled or replaced like an engine. Ignoring these chronic symptoms can eventually lead to a serious illness.

- Fatigue, Anxiety, Depression, ADD, ADHD
- Blood sugar problems: Pre-Diabetes, Diabetes and Hypolglycemia
- Hormone imbalances: Hypo-Thyroid, Hashimotos, Menopause, Andropause,

How can u make clean money from designing a website, as in what tips do i need and what features can u include in the site that will make it attractive and also generate money.
How can u make clean money from designing a website, as in what tips do i need and what features can u include in the site that will make it attractive and also generate money.
Monetize your website- Alternate to Google ADSENSE and YPN!
I just came across it today and had to tell you right away.
It's called Fair Ads Network. And it makes sense considering everything they've done to ensure not only the advertiser benefits as much as possible, but also the publisher. There's no more unfair practices where the publisher gets the boot every so often without warning and there's no more over-populated ads from the advertiser and wasting their money.
I predict, in just the next several weeks, you'll hear about people becoming a FAN and not because they're some popular rock band or well known celebrity, but because everyone is falling for their fair treatment. It's undeniable.
FAN introduces the first ad network of its kind. You can earn an income regardless of whether you sign up as a publisher or an advertiser. In fact, you can register as both! They didn't stop there though, you can even transfer your funds back and forth as you please! They give you total control of everything.
FAN is a very unique species in that they MAKE you be active without putting a gun to your head just so you can continue to make money every single month. The strategies and concepts applied to this ad network is beyond human and should be investigated by NASA. Before they do though, perhaps you should scurry on over there first.
Another reason to go now is because they are only accepting a limited number of members! They are partnered with 2 multi-million dollar companies and backed by a handful of millionaires. They would not have that kind of support if the potential is not there.
From one FAN member to a soon-to-be FAN, see you on the inside!
I am really happy being a member of this forum. I thank Seun, tcash and all others who have helped to solve peoples problems here. I would like to know though if this thing I hear about making money through reading E-mails are through and how can one claim his cash bearing in mind the limitations of e-transactions here in Nigeria?
Interesting topic.
From experience the best bet is to spread your tentacles and provide services that actually solve problems as all of us have problems to solve.
I started with basic website design then went into real programming but funny enough the bulk of the money I make today come from alternative energy, building inverters and installing backuo systems for people.
Even though I went into the inverter stuff to solve my own problem of spending too much money on fuel in my office, I ended up building them for clients when ordinarily came into my office to discuss web projects. These people just wonder how I toggle a switch and everything comes on once there is power failure while they are still in the office.
So, we must look around us and look for a need to fulfill and if we do well money will chase you wherever you go, not you chasing money.
Bizzy, appreciated.
Of course my post refers to internet business models that create their entire value striclly from the net, not the so called clicks-and-mortar internet models i.e. websites that also have an off-line component. If a bank goes online, its not what I am talking about.
In one aspect, the web is a crazy place. Not every body who participates actively on it wants to make money. People suffer to offer things for free on the web that cost millions offline. Open source software is an example. Most people who write open-source software do so no their employer's time. These software could make them millions, but they offer it free. Thousands of sites offer free advice on so many "expensive" topics. The currency of the web is not only money as you have in the offline. Web economists have studied this phenomena and are coining terms like "reputation" capital to try and explain it. The web has proven more SOCIALIST than it is CAPITALIST.
Essentially, what I am saying is that e-businesses compete with people on the web who are not looking for money and often the latter win. That is unusual offline. Just thought i should mention this.
Article written for Mr. Shina Adegoke of Technology Times
My name is Seun Osewa. I'm the 23 year old webmaster who runs Nairaland.com - the Nigerian forum with 17,000 members. I may be the first Nigerian to make enough from a website to justify running it full-time, because from my site alone I earn more than some graduates working in top banks.
I started out in April 2003 by moving to Abeokuta to take advantage of free Internet access offered by a family friend who managed an ISP. I wanted to be a web host(1), but after 3 months I ran out capital ran out because I could get only one customer. After this, I researched so many business opportunities but nobody was willing to provide an untested young man like me with enough capital to execute any of them.
Towards the end of 2003, I stumbled on the idea of web publishing - I would create a site that would attract many Nigerians and then sell advertising the space on the website. So I started a blog, but I I couldn't serve my target audience well because I lacked interest in popular topics that Nigerians are crazy about, such as celebrities and showbiz. So I kept learning and searching for more lucrative opportunities on the net.
By the end of 2004, I realized that the only hope for me lied in web publishing, because no capital was forthcoming for all my other ideas, so I decided to try again with Forums. Forums are wonderful because they can cover topics that even the website owner has no interest in. Thanks to the support of a GSM Ezine publisher (John Sagai Adams) and another entrepreneur (Yomi Adegboye) my first forum (2) grew to several hundred members in a few months (3). But the traffic was still not enough to attract advertising to even cover my Internet costs.
So during March 2005, I started work on a new Forum called "Nairaland, the Nigerian Forum" where Nigerians can discuss absolutely anything. In April, I opened it to the public and directed all members of my old forum to the new one at www.Nairaland.com ! Since then, our rate of growth has increased gradually from 10 new members a day to 30 to 100 or more today! By th end of 2005, we had more than 5000 visitors a day and I was making enough to justify the employment of an additional employee (though I haven't done that)!
Right now, I am experimenting with new websites and business ideas and I hope to diversify my income. I've bought valuable domain names (they are cheap). I've launched Naijarita News, a fake news website that mocks everybody. And I've offered to help some people sell their products over the Internet. Nairaland.com, hovever, has proven to be infinitely more popular than these other ones, because we cover everything: romance, business, politics, games, and of course technology (4).
I'd like to urge fellow young people in technology to think of themselves as entrepreneurs and not as job-seekers. Look for problems that people are having, solve them, and make your money. In an under-developed economy like ours you do not even have to be innovative to make it. You just have to be focussed on solving the real problems that people are experiencing in life or business.

t4cash, thanks for sharing your own tips. Hope there's something to learn from my story, too?
I have said this many times and will continue saying it, you can NOT make millions just by knowing how to knock-up HTML scripts and maybe some multimedia development, highest you get is employment.
You have got that knowledge and skill, what you need to do is think creative and come up with strategic idea(s) using HTML and multimedia as your tool, simple.
Many companies out there sells already fantastic multimedia customizable website pages.
Many Companies employs website designers as one of their employee to develop internal web page and other IT tasks. I have said it before in a similar thread that web browser could be run and deployed in a CD-ROM or DVD disk using tomcat embedded server
You can write your wonderful web payroll system and burn it into a CD-ROM or DVD without worrying about using or having internet access to access the web application. I think MySQL also have embedded database, but it would not be good for application that will update or change the state of the database.
You can host a remote database and provide API for your users to connect to the database server from within the CD-ROM or DVD and do their updates depends on the application function.
Forget you are very good in developing PHP, JAVA, ASP, JSP, Perl, Python, CGI etc, the truth is that you cannot really make the amount of money your are looking for unless you have a unique business idea(s) like Seun, and use your skill and knowledge of IT to make millions.

I took the dogs in today to get Microchiped. Birch Lake Animal hospital has a pretty good deal on it and we have wanted to have it done for awhile. Toby also got his Rabies Distemper combo and a clean bill of health from the vet ("he has a very nice coat" said the vet) but he does have a serious problem that I am going to call "Small Dog Syndrome" due to it being very similar to Small Man Syndrome. Toby is a big dog but he is in a very small body and so when he sees a big dog he has to get up in their face and tell them that he can tango too. I'm not sure what to do about it right now, but I'm thinking about giving Cesar Millan a call… maybe we'll just start with some training and see what happens.
Did you see Kelly Pickler on "Are You Smarter Than A 5th Grader"? Check this out. I am prone to think this is an act… don't you think? People are just not that dumb but everyone loves watching people who are. I think I have a general distrust for people who appear ignorant and people who tell tall tales.
I bought a Dell XPS M1330. I'm going to do a full write up after I get the laptop. But currently I am pumped.

COEUR d'ALENE - Brent Little has been an electrical engineer.
He has taught physics. He has been an executive for a semiconductor company, worked in manufacturing, for the defense industry, the Navy and has been a project manager.
His latest venture could be his toughest yet: Bagel shop owner and manager.
"Last week, I probably in my life clocked my first 100 hour week of work," he said Wednesday, smiling. "All my waking hours for about 14 days, I was here."
Brent and wife Laura Little on Saturday opened New York Bagel Cafe and Deli at 226 Ironwood Drive.
Brent, who is used to dealing with complex matters and subjects, said it has been extremely challenging, more than even he expected.
"I never realized in a small business like this how many moving parts there are," he said.
"Something as simple as a bagel has about as many moving parts as you can imagine," he added.
Brent handles the daily operations of the shop that employs seven. Laura, who works in professional theater and co-produced the Tony Award-winning "Peter and the Starcatcher," will take care of the marketing side.
Both are confident New York Bagel Cafe and Deli will do well.
"Between my wife and I, we have a thousand ideas of how we can continue to evolve it," Brent said.
The Littles moved to the Coeur d'Alene area about eight years ago from San Diego. It didn't take them long to notice the area was missing something they loved: a bagel shop.
"Everybody complains there's no place to get a bagel," Laura said.
The Littles discussed the idea of opening such a shop for a few years. Brent, who taught physics and math at Coeur d'Alene High School for three years before retiring last summer, began researching small business opportunities.
The Littles also wanted a family business that their three children could become involved in, too.
There were many possibilities, but one kept returning to the forefront.
"This bagel thing was in the back of my head," he said.
Finally, they decided to, as they say, go for it. New York Bagel Cafe and Deli is a franchise that should do well and fills a need in Coeur d'Alene, they said.
It's a good fit for the Littles, too, who love to visit New York and wanted a relaxing, clean place where folks could stop in for a bagel, sit down and chat with a friend, or place an order to go and be on their way.
Since opening Saturday, they've already see exactly that happen - customers coming and going, grabbing a bite for breakfast or lunch.
"It's been fun so far, but it's a lot of work," Laura said.
New York Bagel Cafe and Deli serves breakfast and lunch and is open until 4 p.m. It offers bagels, of course, and an array of sandwiches, parfaits, salads and juice drinks, water and coffee.
Average lunch price for a sandwich is $6 to $8, which includes chips or potato salad.
Their bagels come from New York, where they're boiled, flash frozen and shipped to Coeur d'Alene where they're baked daily.
"The New York water is the secret," she said.
The Littles are planning promotional events, such as cabaret and trivia nights with theater themes. Walls will continue to be decorated in a Broadway theme, and a TV on the wall will give customers a place to watch the latest baseball game this summer.
Laura, a Boston Red Sox fanatic, said they plan to have one day a month when a person wearing Red Sox attire gets a free bagel, "just because it's fun."
"We'll probably do a Mets day, too. We won't have a Yankee day," she added, smiling.

Last night's episode was my favourite makeover yet.
I loved the teak furniture and accents Sarah incorporated (where has that coffee table been all my life?) as well as the gray and yellow palette. I would have liked to see another accent colour used, but overall, this living/dining room really speaks to the current mix-and-match, new-with-vintage style.
Next week: Classic Ensuite
What did you think? We look forward to your comments!

Uncool foot stuff going on over here.
On Tuesday last week, I went for a run (we had fun, and even crawled under a tree – see here). Everything was dandy.
On Wednesday, I did spin/yoga. My usual combo, and felt pretty normal.
On Thursday morning, my left heel felt a little funny. So I skipped my run and stuck with BodyPump/Hot Yoga. Also, extra stretching and tennis ball rolling.
On Friday morning, my left heel felt really funny every time I took a barefoot step (much better with shoes on). And I don't mean "funny" in a "ha, ha" way. So I sat for most of the day and didn't do any working out.
On Saturday, it stopped being funny (oh, wait, it never really was), and hurt even more than on Friday. After a day of rest. I call shenanigans. KMN and I had planned to go for a long run, but I conjured up enough wisdom to know that was a royally bad idea.
Folks, I fear there's a touch of plantar fasciitis in the house (errr…apartment?).
This is a major bummer. Things were rolling along so nicely, and after months of tedious, careful, slow building, I was finally getting my miles up close to where I want them to be. I didn't do anything majorly stupid or irresponsible. Not cool, foot. Not cool.
But, enough moping. Let's start with this, for my non-running friends: What's plantar fasciitis? Better yet, what's your plantar fascia? Why, I thought you'd never ask!
The plantar fascia is the long, tough piece of connective tissue that connects your toes to your heel – basically, it creates the arch of your foot. Sometimes, this tissue gets irritated – usually where it attaches to the heel – a condition called plantar fasciitis. This causes discomfort/pain right here:
Plantar fasciitis is commonly caused by extra stress on the arch of the foot – for example, in runners who increase mileage too quickly, in overweight individuals, and in those without proper arch support in their shoes. This extra pressure on the arch results in stretching of the plantar fascia, which then becomes inflamed at the point where it connects to the heel (see photo above). Very tight Achilles tendons/calves can also contribute to plantar fasciitis (everything in the legs and feet is connected).
Most textbooks would tell you that plantar fasciitis is worst in the morning, after sitting for extended periods, and after extended periods of standing/walking/activity. This leads me to wonder when it's not aggravated…? (While you're sitting.) Anyway, this is my first personal encounter with plantar fasciitis, and I am by no means an expert – but I haven't yet correlated any of the aforementioned things to more/less discomfort yet. In the meantime, I'm pursuing a standard treatment plan:
1. No running.
2. Ice and massage:
3. Supportive shoes. Going barefoot definitely hurts, but in sneakers, or even my Adidas "Inside Sandals", I often don't feel any discomfort at all:
4. Calf Stretching: More on this in a separate post.
5. Ice cream.
On Saturday, we tried out Neli's, a gourmet ice cream shop pretty close to where we live.
On Sunday, we popped over to City Square Mall. Guess what's there? DAIRY QUEEN. Dairy Queen is the ice cream of my childhood, and as artificial as it is, I love that stuff. I treated us to Blizzards:
6. South Indian food. We were in Little India on Sunday, and stopped for masala dosai (huge savory Indian pancake, folded over and stuffed with seasoned potatoes). *gobble*
OK, so maybe 5 and 6 were more for my mental health, than my physical health. But 1-4 are legitimate plantar fasciitis treatments.
By Sunday, there was some noticeable improvement, and moreso on Monday morning. Plantar fasciitis can become quite a problem (like, requiring months to fully resolve) for some people, but I'm hoping that I'll be rewarded for catching this mild tweak very early and treating it appropriately. Time will tell. In the meantime, I'll try not to whine and mope too much. Deal?
Anything I'm missing on the plantar fasciitis treatment front?
[I do respectfully request that you keep your horror stories to yourself for the time being, though.]

There is no reason to feel robbed of choice by destiny, or to worry that the wrong choice will ruin our destiny. All choices accomplish our destiny. It is through the choices that we learn, and it is because of the ability to make choices that we come to this particular planet. It is our […]Read the rest of this entry »

The Word
Terminal 7
New York, NY
December 27, 2007
When The Word announced they would be playing a short tour of the east coast for the last few days of 2007 they probably anticipated that the news would be welcomed with enthusiasm. Fans of this gospel/rock side project have been waiting several years for the very busy members to make some room on their crowded calendars for a tour; members Chris Chew, Cody and Luther Dickinson, Robert Randolph and John Medeski are well known to audiences around the world with their own full time touring acts.
The second night of the four-show run revealed obvious signs of content amongst the members from the very first note. Any jitters that could have been presented from a band that hadn't performed together much in a few years clearly had been shrugged off before the evening started, and the show was executed with ease, demonstrating a kind of familiarity and bonding that can only be seen and heard when true musicianship is involved.
The nearly all instrumental set list included a fresh blend of recorded Word material ("Joyful Sounds," "Call Him By His Name," "Without God," "I'll Fly Away") and quick-witted improvisational cover jams like The Ohio Players' "Love Roller Coaster" and The White Stripes' "Seven Nation Army." Marvin Gaye and Stevie Wonder rifs were also dabbled with. One big beautiful exception was made for Chew's vocal's on a jubilant version of "Down by the Riverside."
While Randolph was poised to lead, seated at the front of the stage with his pedal steel, the band was clearly driving the music any direction the vibe led them to. Showmanship was a group effort with no one player able (or willing ?) to completely upstage the next. This reunion didn't even remotely look like work. John Medeski brought bonus bottom weight to stir up the governing strings and was genuinely engaged in everyone's melodious contributions. Guitarist Luther Dickinson openly enjoyed the reunion with the younger pedal steel maestro, indulging his axe-to-axe challenge when Randolph picked up his sparkly red Stratocaster. Robert didn't hold back his desire to be versatile and offered up his skills on the drums, giving Cody Dickinson the chance to bring out his electric washboard.
The three-hour performance of this evening worked on many levels; it was hard to not get caught up in the contagiousness of the sheer elation moving in the room. The 2000+ audience members were all well aware and appreciative of the uniqueness of the gathering.
The members of The Word would most certainly have a promising and prosperous touring career as a group, if they only had time to make it happen. Brief and unexpected tours are fun for some, but if it's truly all that they will ever have to offer their overall fan base, it's a major discredit to the entertainment value they have going on.

Capital Punishment 7 Essay, Research Paper
Many people think that if someone takes ones life then their own life should be taken, others say that people make mistakes, one more serious than another, and God has taught us to forgive? In principle a case can be made on moral grounds supporting capital punishment. Compelling arguments against capital punishment can be made on the basis of its actual administration in our society. Two different cases, one is based on justice and the nature of moral community, which leads to a defense of capital punishment. The second is based on love and the nature of an ideal spiritual community, which leads to a rejection of capital punishment! These are the two point of views on the death penalty. We will respectively see the arguments supporting the death penalty, then the arguments against it, and finally the methods of execution used.
A central principle of a just society is that every person has an equal right to "life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness." Therefore, some acts are so vile and so destructive of community that they invalidate the right of the perpetrator to membership and even to life. A community founded on moral principles has certain requirements. The right to belong to a community is conditional. The privilege of living and pursuing the good life in society is absolute. It may be negated by behaviour that undermines the nature of a moral community. The essential basis on which community is built, requires each citizen to honour the rightful claims of others. The utter and deliberate denial of life and opportunity to others forfeits ones own claim to continued membership in the community, whose standards have been so flagrantly violated. The preservation of moral community demands that the shattering of the foundation of its existence must be taken with utmost seriousness. The preciousness of life in a moral community must be so highly honoured that those who do not honour the life of others make null and void their own right to membership. Those who violate the personhood of others, especially if this is done persistently as a habit must pay the ultimate penalty. This punishment must be inflicted for the sake of maintaining the community whose foundation has been violated.
Furthermore, the argument saying that we should imprison them with the sentence of life without parole is a non-starter because putting a murderer away for life isn't good enough. Laws change, so do parole boards, and people forget the past. Those are things that cause life imprisonment to weather away. As long as the murderer lives, there is always a chance, no matter how small, that he will strike again. And there are people who run the criminal justice system who are naive enough to allow him to repeat his crime. Also, we must take into consideration the families of the victims. For example, Tina Puciloi for whom, justice was finally done when prison doctors injected a lethal mixture of drugs into the veins of William Bonin. Standing outside the San Quentin prison gates, she cried when she heard the word that Bonin was dead. Regret and a terrible sadness washed through her at the news. But most of all, she felt her brother's and up to 20 other young males' deaths were avenged. Justice, she said, was served!
On the other hand we have those who are against the Capital Punishment. The most compelling arguments against the death penalty can be made on the basis of it's actual administration in our society. First and foremost, the possibility of error. Sometimes a person might be put to death who is innocent. Of course, the bias of the jury is irrelevant unless and until a mistake is made. But those mistakes are made; and sometimes we don't find out until it's too late. In the past, there have been more than a dozen individuals who, it was later discovered, had not committed the crime for which they were convicted. If that is not injustice then what is? Furthermore, the death penalty fails to meet the goals of the criminal justice system. For obvious reasons, it fails to rehabilitate the criminal. Also, capital punishment doesn't really provide a better protection for society. Someone who spends his life in prison is no more of a danger to society than the individual that is given the lethal injection. In addition, the vast majority of social science research indicates that the death penalty has no deterrent value. While one would think that fear of execution would prevent one from committing a capital crime, most murders are the heat-of-the-moment affairs during which rational thinking is not top priority. Most people who plan a murder also plan to get away with it, rationalizing away any concern for punishment. The only thing death penalty accomplishes is death. There is no justice or redemption for the criminal. There is no restitution for the friends and family of the victim. There is only a dead body. That is what the criminal justice system seeks to avoid in the first place.
The conclusion of the matter is that the present practice of capital punishment is a moral disgrace. The irony is that the very societies that have the least right to inflict it are precisely the one most likely to do so. The compounding irony is that the economic malfunctions and cultural diseases in those same societies contribute to the violence that makes it necessary to unleash even more repression and brutality against its unruly citizens to preserve order and stave off chaos. To the degree that society provides opportunities for all citizens to achieve a good life in a sensible culture, it is reasonable to believe that the demand for capital punishment will be reduced or eliminated. The fact that the prisons are so full is the most eloquent testimony imaginable of the dismal failure to create a good society. Massive incarceration indicates bankruptcy of social wisdom and social will. It points to the shallowness of the dedication to solving the basic problems of poverty, moral decay, and social discord. Meanwhile, leaders divert our attention with the alluring fantasy that the capital punishment will make our citizens more secure against violent crimes. The fact is, the death penalty is wrong! You don't kill people to demonstrate that killing is wrong; otherwise, the government would rape rapist and burn down rsonists' homes.
Should the death penalty be carried out, there are 5 different methods used. First of all there is electrocution, which produces visibly destructive effects as the body's internal organs are burned; the prisoner often leaps forward against the restraining straps when the switch is thrown. The body changes colour, the flesh swells and may even catch fire. The prisoner may defecate, urinate or vomit blood. The second method is lethal injection, which involves the continuous injection of a lethal quantity of a short-acting barbiturate in combination with a chemical paralytic agent. Thirdly there is the gas chamber, where the prisoner is restrained in a hermitically sealed steel chamber below which is a pan. Upon a signal, the executioner opens a valve, flowing hydrochloric acid into the pan. On a second signal, about 8 ounces of potassium cyanide crystals or tablets are dropped mechanically into the acid, producing hydrocyanic gas, which destroys the ability of blood haemoglobin to perform. Unconsciousness occurs within a few seconds if the prisoner takes a deep breath, and longer if he or she holds their breath. Also, there is the method of hanging someone; the prisoner is weighed prior to execution. The "drop" is based on the prisoners weight to deliver 1260 foot-pounds of force to the neck. Finally there is the firing-squad method, which involves a five man team, one of who will use a blank bullet so that none of them knows who was the real executioner!
On a final note, after reading both sides of capital punishment, you may form your own opinion, if you are on the pro side, then you probably think that a person that kills someone else, does not deserve to live either, and if you are against capital punishment, then you probably, think that two wrongs does not make a right and that committing the same crime as the criminal is even worse. Personally I am undecided because, I think killing is wrong but on the other hand if someone killed one of my family members, I would want them dead too! But one thing is for sure nobody deserves to die, and instead of concentration on the way to kill people, we should try to prevent the crime itself, and the way we do that is by teaching our children to respect and love others.

Rules To Write ChipmunkFanfics: According to ChipmunkLover and Kitty Seville
1) They are brothers, nothing else.
Sure, whatever you say...
2) They must always live with Dave.
Even when they're old?! That sucks.
3) They must always end up with the Chipettes. Alvin can hit on other girls, but he must end up with Brittany.
No way! You said they have to end up with the Chipettes. You didn't say which ones each could end up with... Hello Alvinors!
4) They cannot die.
What happened to the Circle of Life? Have we learned nothing from The Lion King?
5) They can have superpowers, but the color of the magic/ mystical zone has to be the same color as they're signature colors.
I was gonna do that. *eyes shift*
6) They can't die.
Haven't I seen this before...?
7) They can't be severly injured.
What? No guts and gore?! I even had the chainsaw handy...
8) There cannot be any OCs. Only the Chipmunks, Dave, and the characters created my the Bagdasarians.
Great. That rules out the other seven billion people in the world.
9) The Chipettes HAVE to live with Miss Miller.
Hey! What about rule #2? Doesn't this apply? And when were they involved in this?!
10) If you kill them, thus violating numbers 4 and 6, you must bring them back. Also making it a horror story.
Oh, so now they can die? What are you trying to pull here? *pulls out rifle*
11) They can't be in horror stories.
Aw, man. *puts away rifle*
12) You must have at least three jokes/gags in a chapter.
13) If you do a Chipmunk crossover, it must be with some other cartoon. Not live action.
But I had so many plans...
14) If you have songs, they have to fit in the story. Not just be random.
What if it's like High School Musical, and they spontaneously burst into song?
15) The Chipmunks do not work for free. If you use them you must send Ross Bagdasarian 100 dollars by the end of the month, or else you'll die instantly.
Fine, but I keep half of their profits.
16) Don't talk about the rules, don't tell people about the rules, don't even think about the rules
But wait, didn't we just.. But I... Oh, forget it! *walks out of room and slams door*
If you have ever broken or are planning to break any of these rules, then copy and paste them into your profile!

I was actually published in this book. They collected people's attempts to do a Bill Hicks' routine if he were alive today. These were the ones I submitted and had published.
Jesus, I've been dead for over ten years – I'm hanging out in heaven with Yul Brynner smoking everything in sight and hey we feel for you. Tommy Chong sent to jail for blowing glass? A Supreme Court justice who won't let you film his lectures on free speech? An attorney general who can't bear to give speeches in front of naked statues? You want me to check out something that little demon John Ashcroft has to say? How about Pam Anderson and Janet Jackson jumping up and down behind him to see whose tits are gigglier? George Bush the sequel? How did this happen? Please Jesus when I said it would be funny to see the demon seed of George Bush and Dan Quayle – I was FUCKING JOKING! Serves me right. Ashlee Simpson caught lip synching on Saturday Night Live? Is this what passes for scandal these days? Whatever happened to Patty Hearst changing her name and robbing banks? Am I supposed to be fucking upset about Ashlee Simpson lip synching? Personally, I find the whole thing oddly considerate. I'm all for that little piece of trailer trash demon seed lip synching. Next time do us all a favor – lip synch to say – The White Album or Electric Ladyland – jump up and down naked to Helter Skelter – that's a TV show I'll watch. Yul and I are off to do some stewardesses – have fun getting offended by men wanting to marry each other – Jesus is waiting and he's fucking pissed!
Here's why America is fucked up as a nation. Lots of people find in ironic that at 18 you are old enough to die in an oil field for some fat corporate motherfucker, but you're not old enough to buy a couple beers before you get tossed head first into a cave to search for Osama. I understand that – hell, I fucking agree, but while you're at it consider this. An 18 year old girl isn't old enough to buy alcohol either. Appearing in a porn movie – perfectly legal – hey, no one loves porn more than me – just pointing it out. Vodka and Cranberry – totally out of the question – taking three crack head losers' penises into every orifice of your body on some mattress in a back alley in Chatsworth – completely copasetic. Dad, can I have a beer? Dick, just wait 'til I send you my first movie for Christmas. You've never seen semen arranged so artfully!

Only three more weeks left, only three more weeks left...that's what I keep telling myself about school. I love school, I love nursing, and I love learning...but I love not having homework even more. My last day of summer school seems so far away. Ugh, I cannot wait! I don't think people really understand just how much work nursing school is. Granted, the summer semester is accelerated so it's more work than normal. I literally do so much homework! I've only written maybe two chapters since I started school over a month ago.
I have 42 hours of just classroom school a week. And, because I'm weird, I broke down the week into hours.
There are 168 hours in a week. Minus the 42 for being in school and I have 126. For every hour in the classroom you should ideally spend two studying. Since 24 of those hours are spent at the hospital, I spent roughly 36 hours a weeks studying and another 2 working on papers and projects. That brings me down to 88 hours left. Take out 6 hours each night for sleeping: 46. Then factor in driving to and from school (one clinical is about an hour away), cleaning the house, making dinner, taking care of my horses, dog, and ferrets, and then the fun stuff. Really, I have no time for myself!
But it's worth it. And it's not impossible. My point isn't to whine about how busy I am (though I do to my husband; he gets to hear just how tired I am everyday lol) but it's so say if I can do it, so can anyone else! Really, if you put your mind to something, you can do anything. (Well, not anything...don't jump off a roof expecting to fly.)
Hard work and dedication pay off in the end. It sucks while you're doing that hard work. It does, no matter what people say, I know that it sucks big time. It's not fun staying up working on homework or cleaning or whatever. But it is worth it.
I stay up after I do my homework to write. I haven't been able to write as much as I'd like, but I'm still doing it. I have to find the time and stay disciplined. For me, that's hard. I'm a very easily distracted, I-wasted-an-hour-watching-Youtube-videos kind of person.
Self confidence was never my forte. In order to get through this and stay positive and happy, I had to learn how to become my own cheerleader. And I had to relearn my sense of time management. I have a planner that keeps me in line lol. I try to do everything on my list and when it's done, it's time to play :)
So, don't give up on yourself or your dreams just because it is hard. School seemed soooo overwhelming at first. It's no cake walk, but it's not that bad.
As Orissa would say, "you
don't give up just because something is hard. The harder it is, the more it's
worth it in the end."

Orissa was right!ReplyDelete
I do know how hard nursing school is. I did X-ray tech school in the nineties and the studying was so hard, the "practicals" (working in a hospital)were so hard and you have to pass or you don't get your degree or certification or whatever. You want to do more than pass, to get the job you want. So you study, you work in a hospital doing the work of a nurse (or in my case taking x-rays in patients rooms, in the ER or in the imaging dept.) and you are not making money doing any of this. At least I wasn't.
But when you are finished you feel like you really accomplished something. And you have.
I can't wait to be done :)ReplyDelete
