New reader here, directed to your blog by a friend. I have to resist the temptation to sit and read all the back posts in one long night! Your good humor and obvious compassion for people really shine through.

As a medical transcriptionist, I have an odd sort of window into people's lives myself. I have laughed over some of the (no permanent damage!) things people have gotten themselves into, and felt my heart break for others, but I never meet them. I have known physicians for years - their names, their voices, their ups and downs, sleepy ones and impatient ones, self-important ones and kind ones - who don't know that I exist (beyond that they must know there is *some*one out there listening to them!) You, sir, sound like one of the good ones. I'll bet you're even kind to the MTs.

...but you misspelled "priapism". (I'm sorry! It was making my MT reflexes twitch!)Calamitybirdhttps://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-7558528804236989500.post-27044541925096952782010-08-20T05:46:04.272-04:002010-08-20T05:46:04.272-04:00This comment has been removed by a blog email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-7558528804236989500.post-66713088155221067982010-08-18T16:22:27.444-04:002010-08-18T16:22:27.444-04:00Gut-wrenching, yes, but am I the only voice saying...Gut-wrenching, yes, but am I the only voice saying "thank goodness his reckless driving didn't kill some innocent family instead of just injuring him?" I hate to sound callous, but he made the poor choices that led to his injury; by 20-something we all know what can happen when we are acting stupid. Usually it's innocent bystanders who pay the price -- this time it was the instigator who did. A terrible, heavy price, but one that was not unexpected. My sympathies are much more on the side of the many innocents who die each day, killed by drunk, sleepy, or reckless drivers like that young firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-7558528804236989500.post-87499524651293850012010-08-17T18:45:55.576-04:002010-08-17T18:45:55.576-04:00Life changes on a dime but at least he has life.

When I was 16 and in a head on collision (red light runner hit my car)the paramedics turned their sirens off when they approached the scene, telling my mom they assumed it was a fatal scene. I was tossed all over the car like a rag doll, according to witnesses. I, to this day have no memory from that accident except for the medic's face who asked me what my phone number was to call my mom...multiple injuries, ripped apart knee, head trauma, I was able to say the number. For a month after that, I repeated the same day and date when asked as I recovered, it took 3 months to bend my knee again.

I was alive. I did not have a seatbelt on, and have worn one ever since.

As an adult, I had a friend lose her teen son to speeding and not buckled up, as he was ejected from the car via the window when he hit a telephone pole.

After my car accident I attended a teen bible study that summer. The young pastor said, to watch ourselves, in all areas, as to "don't become another statistic in the newspaper".

I told that to my kids as they learned to drive, and I'll tell it to anyone reading here. Life, is more fragile that it appears. Fleeting.

This post made me wanna reach through the computer screen and hold this kids hand and be there to comfort him. I was in an accident last summer (although nothing as bad as this kids') and I remember being sooo scared and guilty and shock and all these emotions. I recently just got my "N" (one step under a full licence in my province) and was driving my parents car, when I wasnt paying full attention, ran through a Red light and teboned a car turning left that was clearing the intersection. Luckily everyone was ok (considering their car flipped and they were in a convertible, with the top down, THANK GOD THEY WERE WEARING THEIR SEATBELTS) But we were all taken to hospital to get checked out. I remember being soo frieghtened and shocked, and I just had whiplash and a broken arm. I couldnt even imagine finding out that I was paralyzed. Like Kate said, his parents will just be happy that he is alive. I also thought my parents were going to kill me (how the hell was i gonna get outta that one--"hey mom and dad, sorry i ran through a red, oh and btw, it was your car")but they were just thankful i was ok. Although, a week after the accident I definately got "the lecture" lol.

I commend you for being the voice of calm for the guy, I can gaurantee you that even though it probably didnt seem like much, the fact that you were calm and compassionate probably made him a little at ease.
Again, great post, and keep up the great work!!

When I was in high school, we had four or five youth involved in MVCs in a six month span. Some were poor decisions, some were avoidable, some were alcohol-related... all were devastating. I didn't know anyone personally, but they all shook my world.

I was in an accident in October. Two cars tried to occupy the same spot at once, and I saw the whole thing unfold. As a passenger, there wasn't anything I could do, only so many times I could say, "Jess, he doesn't see us." She never heard me. Both cars were totaled but all of the people were uninjured. I'm ten-times more adamant about seat-belt use now, and I have resolved myself to forever be a backseat driver: I'd rather be annoying than in a crushed car.

There's a billboard on my way to work that shows a sign in a rear view mirror reading, "Let's go out for ice cream after you paralyze us." I don't think I'll ever see that billboard in the same way again. I wish there was a way for young drivers to read a testimony like this.

text: A New Year Brings New OpportunitiesKennedy, Maureen ShawnAJN The American Journal of Nursing: January 2010 - Volume 110 - Issue 1 - p 7 doi: 10.1097/01.NAJ.0000366027.75286.62 Editorial Abstract Author Information Article Outline An optimist savors the possibilities. E-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com Abstract I like January, when I can see a whole new year stretching out ahead of me. As I write this, 2009 is winding down, and I'm hopeful that the pall recently cast by a bad economy, record unemployment rates, the ongoing wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, vitriolic debate over health insurance reform, the H1N1 pandemic flu, and generally hard times for too many people will disappear with the flip of the calendar page. A new year seems rich with potential. People are newly resolute about their New Year's resolutions, and there's a shared optimism about getting down to business and making good on the opportunities that present themselves. This new year presents nursing with tremendous opportunities. For one thing, the profession is increasingly in the public eye. Three television shows currently feature nurses as central characters. Although in my view, none of these shows hits the mark when it comes to portraying nurses' work accurately, the nurses on Nurse Jackie, Hawthorne, and Mercy are big improvements over their earlier, one-dimensional counterparts. (The one shining exception was nurse Colleen McMurphy on China Beach, a series that ran from 1988 to 1991.) I don't think this is happenstance, but rather the result of a concerted and deliberate effort by nurses and their supporters over the years. The Raise the Voice campaign of the American Academy of Nursing (www.aannet.org) has brought nurses' work into the foreground, informing policymakers and the public about nursing's innovators and highlighting their successes. Advocacy Web sites such as the Center for Nursing Advocacy (www.nursingadvocacy.org) and more recently The Truth About Nursing (www.thetruthaboutnursing.org) have been relentless in responding to unfavorable portrayals of the profession. Health care journalists are finally realizing that nurses have a perspective unlike that of physicians or hospital administrators—one closest to the point of care, allowing nurses an up-close-and-personal vantage point. (Our message to journalists: talk to a nurse or you might miss the best part of the story.) Figure The role of nurses has also been gaining ground in health care reform talks about how to provide cost-effective care that yields good outcomes and satisfied patients. Major initiatives like Transforming Care at the Bedside (see our November special supplement at www.tinyurl.com/TCABajn) have enabled nurses to make visible changes that make a real difference to patients. Policymakers are finally beginning to take notice. In this month's Viewpoint, Ellen T. Kurtzman and colleagues from the School of Medicine and Health Sciences at The George Washington University make the case for a renewed effort by nursing to "influence policies that affect the quality, safety, and value of health care," and announce the formation of the Nursing Alliance for Quality Care (NAQC). With a two-year grant from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF), the NAQC will work to unite nursing organizations, health care consumers, and others in pushing for change that focuses on patient safety and high-quality health care. (For more information, contact firstname.lastname@example.com.) Also in this issue is a series of articles about a collaborative effort by several groups, including the AARP's Center to Champion Nursing in America, the RWJF, and the U.S. Department of Labor, to address the crisis in nursing education capacity. At two summits convened last year, teams of stakeholders from various states shared information and began framing new strategies aimed at developing the future nursing workforce. This first article reports on these summits; future articles will detail state strategies and partnerships that have proven successful. Our profession needs to make its voice heard more strongly than ever, especially now, when policy changes are reshaping the future of the health care system.© 2010 Lippincott Williams & Wilkins.

text: In response to Brian Hoyle's posting in bionet.general in which he objected to the creation of a new newsgroup, bionet.organisms.pseudomonas, I would like to explain that the idea for this newsgroup came out of discussions at the recent ASM annual meeting in Washington, D.C. The proposal was enthusiastically received at the Pseudomonas club meeting, and I collected over 60 e-mail addresses at the time, having added many more since then. Ergo, I think there is more than sufficient support for a Pseudomonas newsgroup among researchers in our field. Brian negates his own objection by correctly observing that "those interested in a specific topic may not want to wade through other, "useless" information." If Brian is "leery" of "ultra- specific newsgroups," then I am far more worried about having to wade through the veritable mountain of information available in the many newsgroups and on the internet in general just to find the information I need to keep our lab moving forward. One truely excellent way to cut out the "noise" and focus on the useful stuff is to create specific newsgroups so that particular communities of researchers can share information and ideas in a more concentrated way. I'm sure Brian is perfectly correct when he says that "I find the bionet.micro newsgroup a useful place to pick up information." If "picking up information" is the only thing the bionet was good for, we would need only a fraction of the newsgroups we already have, particularly if, as Brian suggests, our discipline (microbiology) needs more interaction, not fragmentation. The whole idea behind the creation of specific newsgroups is to provide a forum, a central location, so that workers in a particular discipline can share ideas, data, and technical problems unique to their field without having to roam through the entire bloody internet to find what they need. The fact that they find their own newsgroup useful does not imply at all that they will not "pick up information" and share in discussions in a whole variety of other newsgroups. This is not an "either-or" proposition. Well, this is my $0.02 worth. Cheers, Bruce

Jude Law, my God, would you just look at the state of him: teeth the colour of slowly moulding orange-rind, catastrophically ragged hair-do, scuttling, psycho-insect deportment, plus, towards the end, a nasty dose of broken glass shards embedded in the face. There he is up on the screen in Road To Perdition, acting his little socks off as a psychotic contract killer, having apparently done everything humanly possible in order to dim and occlude that bright beauty that lit up Matt Damon's eyes in The Talented Mr Ripley. If Ripley saw this guy he'd probably beat him to death with a boathook in no seconds flat. In short - look away lest ye be turned to stone, because he isn't one bit pretty.
And it's not easy to make Jude Law look this terrible. Sexiness can't be got rid of with a few scowls and a spot of make-up. No, this kind of auto-vandalism takes a great deal of care, application, technical expertise and attention to all the queasy little details. It takes a team, working around the clock. The word from the set is that Law's good looks were so hard to eradicate, so impregnable, that getting the job done required at least three trips to the Ugly Chair.
And to what purpose? Why do actors blessed, or cursed, with inordinate good looks so frequently go to great lengths to make themselves look like cowpats that have been force-fed through a mangle? Why does someone like Brad Pitt, whose good looks are of the inarguable, no-doubt-about-it variety, not the matter-of-taste kind, dress up like a tramp for the paparazzi, while cultivating the sort of explosive facial hair that makes a yeti look insufficiently hirsute? Why does Tom Cruise move heaven and earth to get Vanilla Sky made, when he spends half the film with his handsome face carved up by foot-long disfiguring scars? Is it because Ugly is the new Cute?
Or is it about Respect?
It's got to be Respect, hasn't it, because if Ugly really was the new Cute, there'd suddenly be all sorts of career opportunities for squat, creeping, bald, fat, cheap and nasty looking types. And there's no sudden shortage of folks bearing those characteristics - never has been, never will be. So why aren't they getting the work, when after all they certainly have the necessary qualifications written - indeed, smeared - all over their faces? Instead movies are taking honest work off the real uglies by taking bona fide cuties and carving these alarming grotesques from them. The uglies ought to unionise.
Respect it is, then. Beauty, as anyone beautiful will tell you, carries its own set of curses along with all the myriad blessings. Foremost among them is the assumption that beauty alone has got you where you are today, not talent, brains or charm; that beauty is somehow essentially frivolous and unserious, and an unfair advantage to boot. Beauty also tends to work against realism on screen. Just look at Michelle Pfeiffer in Frankie And Johnnie. That's a role that needs to be played by normal gal Edie Falco, and indeed Falco is currently playing the role on Broadway, and receiving acclaim where the pretty girl got brickbats.
It used to be the case that the Cary Grants and the Gary Coopers got the money, the babes, the chauffeured limos and the international renown, but it was the Rod Steigers and George C Scotts who won the Oscars. These days the marquee-topping babes and himbos want the money AND the acclaim, and if necessary, they'll cut off their noses to improve their faces - and thus their chance of Oscars. They've all seen The Elephant Man. They know the drill.
So it is we come across Nicole Kidman, donning a John Merrick-like prosthetic chin extension and a fake hook-nose over her own button one, so as to be able to portray Virginia Woolf in an upcoming biopic. The girl looks nothing like Woolf, who was, for all her literary abilities, more than a tad horsey in the face. Instead of hiring Kidman, why didn't the film-makers get someone like Fiona Shaw who, while not being particularly horse-faced, does bear a considerable and very fetching resemblance to the author? Who, you ask? Well, there's your answer. No one wants to see one of Britain's best stage actresses give a straightforwardly excellent performance: they want to see their It-girl Kidman wearing a rubberised stunt-face, just like the grotesques in Dick Tracy. Paint her green and she'd look just like the Wicked Witch of the West.
Which takes us neatly back to the beginnings of the phenomenon, the year 1966 and Elizabeth Taylor's Oscar-winning performance as the shrill, blowsy, drunken, overweight harridan Martha in Who's Afraid Of Virginia Woolf? It looks like nothing today, but back then it was a very big deal for someone like Taylor, normally considered the gold standard for Hollywood glamour, to pile on the pounds and run over her own beauty with a truck. Forget three trips to the Ugly Chair - Martha, swearing, falling over, hair in hectic disarray, booze and fag-ash stains from eyebrow to ankle, looks like she fell 50 feet out of the Ugly Tree, hit every branch on the way down and when she landed, got 40 whacks from the biggest, knottiest Ugly Stick known to man or beast. Three years earlier she looked radiant in Cleopatra, but no Oscar. Now she looked like a train wreck, and the statuette was hers.
Taylor might have been taking tips from Joan Crawford and Bette Davis, who at that moment were both based in Britain and busily making an impressive series of bad films that collectively form a strange subset of the horror genre - the Old Bag Horror Movie. The Nanny and Berserk! were just two movies in which they squandered their reputations for cash, behaving in the most swivel-eyed, barmy and undignified manner imaginable. They spent a large part of the 1960s replaying their roles in Robert Aldrich's robustly crude camp classic Whatever Happened To Baby Jane? Remember Joan in a wheelchair being served cooked rats for dinner by Bette, whose atrociously unflattering make-up caused her to resemble a clown who's been custard-pied for a month of Sundays? Maybe Taylor simply reversed the equation: she squandered her beauty, not her reputation, to enhance her career.
And it worked, and plenty of people have followed her example. The process is perfectly simple: bad reputation as an actor? No problem - just ugly on down. Thus Keanu Reeves grows some Charlie Manson hair, dons a disastrous beard and does some extensive reupholstery work on his thespian rep in The Gift, in which he plays a wife-beating psycho (a dash of moral ugliness is just as good as the facial version). There's Cameron Diaz in Being John Malkovich, dowdy as a crack-addicted clippie.
It must have taken a year in the Ugly Chair to sandblast away that beautiful face. Likewise Terence Stamp, usually too handsome to live, dressed a lot like Baby-Jane-era Bette in Priscilla, Queen Of The Desert. We've had scar-faced Tom Berenger in Platoon, Johnny Depp in Edward Scissorhands and, come to think of it, Fear And Loathing In Las Vegas (bring on the baldie-wig), and Robin Williams in The Fisher King ("Wardrobe! My tramp suit and exploding hairpiece, if you please!"). And a favourite example is Mel Gibson sporting half a face-worth of mixed pizza toppings in his directorial debut, The Man Without A Face.
It all comes back to Jean Cocteau's 1944 Beauty And The Beast, a title that encapsulates all the issues above. It starred the insanely handsome Jean Marais, then roundly dismissed by French critics as a no-talent boy-bimbo who'd only succeeded because he was Cocteau's boyfriend. Cocteau just suited him up like a warthog and, hey presto, the plaudits just came raining down. It's a simple and enduring principle: make yourself as ugly as all get-out, and life will be just beautiful.

Celebrity Pregnancies = Big Bucks
The New York Times has a great piece on celebrity pregnancies and how it helped OK! magazine sell a record number of copies for it's "Jamie Lynn Spears: I'm Pregnant" cover.
The exclusive Jamie Lynn issue sold nearly two million, roughly twice the usual number. The previous record issue was headlined "Britney's Meltdown," which sold 1.2 million copies.
"This is a family whose trajectory appears to be moving in the wrong direction, and they might actually not know where their next paycheck is coming from," said Janice Min, the head honcho of US Weekly. "Money is money. [Jamie Lynn's pregnancy is the] ultimate example of one of these celebrities deciding 'I'm tired of somebody else making money off of me, I'm going to make money off my own news.'"

Dear Ann Landers: I just turned 25, and my mother is trying to marry me off to the son of one of her friends. I have an excellent job and am not worried about being unattached. I don't date much, which is OK for now. My mother told her friend which days I had off so her son could see me. He called my mother, and she set up a lunch date for next week. Of course, I have to go.
My mother has talked about my dating situation with my aunt and my sister, and now, I am beginning to feel pressured on all sides. I tried to explain to Mom how demeaning this is, but she became hostile and said she is only trying to help me. Don't get me wrong, Ann. I love my mother, and we get along fine, but this is more than I can take.

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'Tennessee Titans and NFL Talk' started by Shanvhere, Dec 23, 2013.
oh ok I always thought it effected more than that
oh well those 2 games woulda been easier!!
Steelers at home... Yesss! Will defiantly make my first trip to Nashville for that game!
There are no easy games for this team. I wouldn't be surprised if we went 0-16 next year. Obviously I'm pretty sure we will be a lot better than that, but honestly the only thing that would surprise me is more than 10 wins.
If the team makes moves in the off season and an effort to improve the roster and coaching staff I will make a trip next fall. First and foremost if the MM is the HC again next year I will wait until 2015 to make that trip!
Don't worry guys, 2014 is Jake Locker's year! I just know it! Him and Munch will take us all the way to our first playoff berth in years (where we will loose to the Colts), but hey, it the playoffs!
After how 2013 turned out, I am done trying to predict this team right now even with new coaches. Titans seem to find ways to lose games in the 4th if not the entire game (Jags)
I am just ready for the overhaul which I pray will happen this off season, time to start fresh!
IM still waiting for the easier part of our schedual to start...
this year never mind next year..
we had it tough in the beginning and we were 3-1 .then when it was going to get easier
Best schedule the Titans have had in years!
lockers our guy munchies aint

How to Make Fizzy Cleaning Tabs for Hard to Clean Bottles
These days more and more people are doing away with plastic bottles, and in their place using reusable ones. There are a wide variety of reusable bottles and cup available in all sorts of shapes, sizes and colors. And while these bottles are great and especially good at keeping drinks cold, they are a bit more difficult to wash given that it is best to keep them out of the dishwasher. You might try to use a special brush to your reusable bottles, or you can try and make this DIY idea for homemade cleaning product. The recipe for the fizzy cleaning tabs is easy to make, and they will make cleaning your reusable water bottles so much easier. These natural cleaner tabs contain baking soda for its abrasiveness, some citric acid for its fizzing action, and Dawn liquid dish soap for a good overall clean. Whether you have reusable water bottle or a shelf of them, you'll want to give these homemade cleaning products a try. You can store them in a dish or a mason jar beside your sink.
Some of the ingredients and tools you will need for this homemade cleaning product include some baking soda, citric acid, salt, Dawn dish soap, hydrogen peroxide, a melon baller or spoon, some parchment paper, and a baking sheet. To use your homemade cleaning product you simply fill your bottle or container with some water, then drop one of your natural cleaner tabs in. Then let the tab bubble and fizz for about two minutes, and place the cap on the bottle. Next, give the bootle a good shake, then dump the cleaning water out and rinse the bottle with some clean water. You can use your fizzy natural cleaner tabs to clean glass, metal, and plastic water bottles. You can also use the natural cleaner tabs to clean other glass, plastic, or metal containers.
Citric acid is an acid compound that is naturally found in citrus fruits, but citric acid can also be derived from mold-based fermentation, such as Penicillium or Aspergillus niger of sugars. Citric acid kills bacteria, mildew and mold, and it's great for any sort of general disinfecting and natural cleaning. Citric acid is also effective at removing soap scum, calcium deposits, hard water stains, lime, and rust. Also, citric acid serves as a preservative in many natural cleaning solutions. Because lemon juice contains between five to eight percent citric acid, it is often used in green cleaning and natural cleaners. Citric acid can be used in a variety of homemade cleaning products and natural cleaners, such as auto cleaning products, metal cleaners, dishwasher cleaners, oven cleaners, all-purpose cleaners, tub and tile cleaners, soap-scum removers, bathroom cleaners, carpet cleaners, and dish soaps. Citric acid can also be used for laundry detergents, window cleaners, air fresheners, stain removers, and dishwasher rinse aids. You can find citric acid online, or check for it in the canning section of your grocery store. Citric acid is often located near the pectin and the other canning ingredients and materials. You can look for citric acid under the name sour salt in the kosher section or in the spice aisle of your local grocery store or local supermarket.

You can't, as plugins are not allowed on WordPress.com. The good news is that you can simply add a link to LinkedIn in a text widget and put that in your sidebar.
I tried to copy paste a LinkedIn button via LinkedIn into a text widget. It does appear on my site, but doesnt take me to LinkedIn.
How do I make this follow me/my company on LinkedIn button work?
What is the exact code you used? Paste it here between backticks so it shows.
Note that the Follow Us on LinkedIn code will really only ever work if your profile is public.
I am trying to do the same thing! But the code gets stripped out as it's not allowed by Word Press. Does anyone know a work around for this code?
<script src="//platform.linkedin.com/in.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type="IN/FollowCompany" data-id="813080" data-counter="right"></script>
You can't use a javascript code on a WordPress.com blog. You CAN use plain HTML code. If LinkedIn no longer provides it, you can just write your own text and link to your profile.
@nsynergy: I see you managed to do this. Congrats! Can you help me with the plain HTML code? Thanks!

Stereotactic interstitial radiosurgery for recurrent singular cerebral metastasis: Clinical outcome and local disease control of a salvage treatment regiment.
Stereotaktische interstitielle Radiochirurgie für rezidive singulärer zerebraler Metastasen: Klinische Ergebnisse und lokale Tumorkontrolle
Search Medline for
|May 30, 2008
Objective: Treatment options of patients with local recurrence of singular cerebral metastases after previous multimodal treatment are limited. Especially re-irradiation is often not an option due to the previous dose application to the surrounding tissue. Scares reports have demonstrated that stereotactic interstitial radiosurgery (IRS) is an effective and save treatment option to control cerebral metastases. In this study we applied this method to patients with local recurrence after previous treatment and evaluated the feasibility of the method, local disease control and clinical parameters.
Methods: For this retrospective study we selected all patients with local recurrence of a singular brain metastasis who received previous (multimodal) treatment (microsurgery, stereotactic radiosurgery, radiation therapy). Stereotactic interstitial radiosurgery (125iodine, 50 Gy surface dose, for 42 days) was applied to the recurrent metastasis in all cases. Neurological status, KPS, treatment related complications and local response of the metastasis (Macdonald criteria) were evaluated during follow-up.
Results: From 1999-2007 20 patients (13 famle/7male) with stable systemic disease were treated. Previous treatment included radiation therapy (17 patients), LINAC radiosurgery (6 patients) and/or microsurgical extirpation (10 patients). The mean and median follow-up period after IRS was 13.7 and 8.1 month, respectively. The target volume ranged from 2.3 to 22.5 ccm (mean 9.5). No treatment related permanent morbidity or mortality was observed. Neurological status improved in 25% or was unchanged. The KPS remained stable (≥70). Local tumor control was achieved in 90% (18/20 patients); two patients showed progressive local disease and received re-treatment with IRS.
Conclusions: These data demonstrate that stereotactic interstitial radiosurgery (IRS) using 125iodine seeds provides a minimal invasive, save, well tolerated and effective treatment option for patients with local recurrence of a singular brain metastasis when other treatment options are finally utilized.

There's good reason for the popular appeal of short ribs at The Grill in Beverly Hills. "It's homespun food," says Bob Spivak, managing partner of the restaurant. "More and more people are looking for meals like mother used to make." Short ribs are not the type of food you would expect to find at a fine restaurant, but there they are on The Grill's menu. "We run the item twice a week, and every day we get phone calls asking when they'll be served," says Spivak.
The ribs at The Grill do have special qualities. To start, chef John Sola, who trained under Rolf Nonnast, the chef at Scandia in West Hollywood, uses kosher-cut short ribs. Kosher-cut does not mean that the ribs have been "blessed" by a rabbi but rather that they have been "squared off," or trimmed of as much fat as possible to render them almost perfect rectangles of meat with the bone in. Where do you find kosher-cut ribs? Any butcher worth his salt will be able to provide you with some.
The trick to the flavorful ribs is to braise them until they are well browned. "Browning the meat with the bone in is what gives the sauce its rich flavor," Spivak says. The ribs are served in a pool of the rich, brown juices--perfect to sop up with pieces of crusty sourdough bread. A mound of colorful julienne vegetables is placed on top.

Points To Remember When Buying New Bass
New bass day is probably the happiest day for every bassist. You'll be spending weeks and even months preparing for this day. In the process you'll spend lots of time reading reviews, watching youtube videos and comparing prices and specs. Here's how not to lose your path along the way…
This should be your number one priority when shopping for a new bass. You want your bass to feel good in your hands as you'll be spending a lot of time playing it. This is why shopping for a new bass online is not a good solution. You just can't feel it first hand to see how it fits you and your body. Bass should sit nicely in your lap and you should feel good holding it. The weight distribution of each instrument is different, some are head heavy, some are body heavy and some are in between. You can only judge this if you actually hold it and try playing it. To make it simple: if it doesn't feel comfortable - don't buy it! Simple as that, as you'll surely regret it later.
String action
This is one characteristic that separates well made from poorly made basses. I'm saying well made as this doesn't always have to do with the price of the instrument but more on that later. String action is a term that defines how much space there is between the strings and the fretboard. Lower action means less effort is needed to fret the notes and play the instrument. This is crucial as I remember buying an instrument with high string action when I was starting out and I almost quit playing for that reason alone as I didn't know there we instruments with more comfortable action available on the market. Try out different basses in the store to find the one with lower action. This way it will be more playable and you'll enjoy playing on it. If you do prefer high string action, keep in mind that you can always raise the action easily using saddle adjustments, but rarely can make adjustments go the opposite way!
More expensive is not always better
I've tried so many basses and what I learned is that price doesn't always dictate the quality of an instrument. Okay, there are some price points and ranges out there which can impact the build quality and playability, but at certain price point, those differences start to decay, especially the higher we go in price. To make it easy to understand: the more expensive bass will not always be the better bass for you! This is important to note in order not to get sucked in the vortex of: "if I just bump my budget a little but, I'll be able to get a much better bass". Wrong, you won't! (unless your budget is unlimited)
Instead, look for the bass that talks to you. The one that you like the sound of. The one that feels good in your hands. The one that plays well. The one YOU like and can afford. Each bass is different, even when it comes to exactly same model. They are made from different wood, set up and put together by different people. They all sound slightly different.
Don't look at the brands
The logo on the bass shouldn't be your decisive factor when choosing the instrument. At one time, I really wanted a Musicman bass. I tried a lot of bases but just couldn't pull the trigger. Something just wasn't right even though we all know that's a premium brand. I ended up with a Fender bass, the only one available in stores (out of dozens of other fender, musicman and other basses), that I really, really liked. I'm still playing it every day as my main bass. Back when I was starting I was playing an unknown brand, jazz bass copy type of instrument. I was playing major gigs with it and got compliments on the tone. When I would tell people that it's a $100 bass, they couldn't believe it. It's not just in the brand of the bass, it's how it works in your hands. There are other factors of course that influence the sound but I'll leave that for another post.
Finish and looks
Finally, you need to buy a bass that looks beautiful to you! Don't buy an ugly bass. Don't do it. The looks are indeed important and you need to feel good when playing the bass and be ready to show it off to others in youtube videos or at the gigs. Bass that looks cool will inspire you to pick it up and practice more often. You'll enjoy every minute of it. This is why you need to pay attention to looks and finish of the instrument.
Hope these tips were helpful and that my thoughts inspired you to re-think your strategy when purchasing a new instrument and help you avoid getting lost in the process. Enjoy your bass hunt and let me know in the comments below which one did you buy.
I'd like to take this opportunity to invite you to check out my premium video bass guitar courses, if you're up for learning something new. Just check them out to see if you like the content and if it's something for you. You don't need to buy, just check it out.

I didn't really plan for new bass day. I had a starter bass and was doing ok, and had picked up some other basses and said "the bass I have is fine, I can't see a reason to get another." Then I was on work travel, and hadn't been able to practice in almost a week, so I went into a Big Brand instrument store, and played some of the basses hanging on the wall. One of them spoke to me, and when I got home, I went to the local store, tried 4 of the same model, and one of them spoke the same way. Had to have it. It's heavier than my original bass, but it feels better. Looks better too. I still have the old one, play it sometimes, but the newer one inspires me. I still call it my "new bass" even though it's been almost two years.

Oz media favours recall of Shane WarneDecember 28th, 2008 - 1:34 pm ICT by ANI
Sydney, Dec 28 (ANI): To avoid embarrassment of losing consecutive series against South Africa and England, a section of Australian media has favoured recall of spin legend Shane Warne.
The Sun-Herald, for the people, would like to present the case for Shane Warne returning to the Australian Test team.
Its a serious attempt to remind Warne that his word is his bond. Warne vowed to ride back on his white horse if Australias spin-bowling stocks went up the chute after his retirement, the Sydney Morning Herald said.
Warne has been dropping hints all year. Test captain Ricky Ponting and Cricket Australia chief executive James Sutherland have declined to take him seriously. Warne has deserved better.
He is Australias greatest cricketer since Don Bradman. When Bradman came out of his eight-year hiatus caused by World War II and boarded the RMS Strathaird for one last tour of England, the British Empire rejoiced. Test cricket was alive.
Warne keeps hinting at a similar revival but Sutherland has dismissed the mere suggestion as an attention-grabbing schoolboy prank.
If Australia really needed me and there was no one else around, and Ricky thought I could do the job, you would weigh up the options, Warne said in May.
If Stuey MacGill fell over and broke his leg, and there were no other spinners around, and Ricky came out and said, Mate, can you please help us out for this one-off tour? We need you, that is something I would weigh up.
Subsequent reports on Sky News said Sutherland had laughed off the remarks. He has certainly given people something to write about, but hes good at that, Sutherland said.
Its not for me to be talking to Shane in that sort of fashion. I think we should be focusing on the tremendous opportunity that Cameron White or Jason Krejza or Bryce McGain will have over the course of the summer.
Warne has 708 Test wickets. One of the finest performances by an Australian cricketer this year was Warne taking the Rajasthan Royals to the Indian Premier League title. (ANI)

Yesterday when I did My eats from last week blog post, I mentioned going to dinner at Tokyo in Andover on Thursday. It was the bf's mom's b-day dinner and I was excited to eat and see the cooking demonstration. I have not been to a hibachi style meal in ages…maybe the last time was at Benihana at Disney World years ago! So I was excited to try a new place, even though it was a half hour drive from Boston.
We ordered a couple of pieces of sushi to start, including white tuna and octopus.
We also got the combination dinners which included salad, onion and mushroom soup, followed by fried rice, veggies, and the proteins of our choice. I could not decide and ended up getting chicken, shrimp, AND steak.
Each person is given a small portion of shrimp to start off alongside the rice too.
Then the chef works his magic on the grill and puts all the meats and fish and the veggies on there and does a few tricks with the utensils. He chopped up the veggies and cut up all the meat and fish into bite size pieces. I was especially excited when I saw this.
I knew what was going to happen next from my last hibachi experience. Fire! I think that was my favorite part. Who doesn't love the dramatic effect of the flames in this onion volcano?
My plate was filled to the absolute brim, starting with the steak followed by my fish and chicken. You also get three sauces with it, including a mustard one, sweet one, and spicy option. I was so glad we had only gotten the sushi as a starter because I was so full from the combo meal, plus I got wine and some pear sake to sip.
I definitely liked the experience of dining here. It was a large space, so not really that busy or full on a Thursday. But I bet on weekends it is great for special occasion meals and is filled with people. There were a few sushi options I would love to try when I go back, like sushi rolls that are seared! But all and all I recommend the dining experience of the combo dinners around the hibachi.

Question: Are there any other hibachi places in the Boston area I should try?

Movement: #MakeItHappen - Ideas are what shape the world. Every project, every company, every song, every book, started with an idea…but ideas are meaningless without the passion and dedication to follow through. Some ideas you can't shake. You wake up every day with a fire under you to make it happen. You work hard because you want to, not because you have to. You improve daily, in any way you can. You learn things you never thought you would because you know they're necessary. You push yourself, you seek guidance, you scour your resources, anything to further your progress. The dream is real and you won't stop until it's yours. #makeithappen. - Website | YouTube | Twitter | Facebook
My goal is to get you doing important work that is making you a lot of money and having a meaningful impact on the world.
How do we measure? Through social media milestones.
This isn't going to come from advertising, spamming, or paying for numbers. It's going to happen from people jumping on your movement and involving everyone they know.
The results are measured through levels you reach:
|YouTube Views
|Twitter Followers
|Facebook Fans
The end goal isn't to get you to reach these milestones but instead create an important movement that would generate these kind of numbers and massive sales growth as a result of doing meaningful work.
Money and time.
How much? Money:
* $1,000 / month for monthly hangout
* $2,500 / month for weekly hangout
I charge corporate clients 10x times amount for this kind of support.
Time: A lot. You have to live your movement if you want it to happen. Let's change the world.
Email me. In 10 sentences or less tell me what you're doing and why this is so important to you.
This is your application and I don't have a lot of spots open so make every word count. Make me feel something.
We'll take it from there. #Believe.

Red Hawks Headed to NCAA Division III Playoffs for Second Straight Year.
Junior quarterback Ed Collins scored on a one-yard sneak with 2:47 to play as Montclair State captured its second straight New Jersey Athletic Conference title with a 17-13 victory over Rowan before a boisterous crowd of 3,187 at Sprague Field.
Collins, who scored on a similar play in last year's title clinching victory, helped the Red Hawks (7-2, 6-0) win their 16th NJAC title. With the win, MSU is now headed to the NCAA Division III Playoffs for the second straight year. Last year, Montclair State advanced to the quarterfinals where they were knocked out by Rowan. It is the first time the Red Hawks, who have won 11 consecutive conference games, will make back-to-back appearances in the NCAA's since 1985-86.

PARK CITY, UT (Nov. 21) – USSA athletes and clubs will continue to have world class training conditions thanks to HKD Snowmakers who re-signed as the official snowmaking supplier of the U.S. Ski Team through 2019. HKD is responsible for snowmaking at the U.S. Speed Center in Copper, CO. The Speed Center provides athletes with early season training largely possible through HKD Snowmaking's commitment to USSA and its athletes.
Brian Krill, USSA Club Development ManagerThis special offer helps provide some real value to USSA member clubs. Essentially, any program looking to invest in a capital project for snowmaking or venue improvement can start with a generous donation from HKD through this discount. In working with a resort, the club can bring this to the table.
Mike Looney, Slope Maintenance Manager, Copper Mountain ResortThanks to HKD snowmaking capabilities, the U.S. Ski Team Speed Center at Copper Mountain is truly a world-class venue. The quality of HKD allows for a full downhill course early season with prime snow conditions.
Charles Santry, President, HKD SnowmakersWe at HKD Snowmakers are honored and excited about our continuing partnership with USSA and the introduction of our White to Gold snowmaking program. This program allows USSA and HKD to assist member clubs, their families and the resorts where they train by providing affordable snowmaking technology to ensure the best possible snow surface for our nation's young athletes.
About HKD SnowmakersHKD Snowmakers was founded in 1991 by Herman K Dupre (HKD), his fourth daughter Anni, and his son-in-law Charles Santry. The company's initial product was the HKD Standard snowgun developed by Herman at Seven Springs Mountain Resort in Champion, PA. Herman and his wife, Sis, raised nine daughters who all embraced skiing and ski racing at a young age. HKD Snowmakers has continued to develop innovative snowmaking products focused on operational ease, longevity, and the fundamental economics of snowmaking. Today, the HKD product line includes the HKD Impulse tower, HKD Fan gun, and HKD KLIK automatic hydrant. HKD Snowmakers also offers engineering and system planning solutions.

For British readers, and/or in case you missed it, here's the 'Op-Art' graphic from the Sunday New York Times, by the design consultancy Open NY. (The picture above is just a small portion of the graphic, which compares the heights and weights of the contenders in every American presidential election since 1896.) The presidential height index has long shown us that taller candidates have an unfair advantage in US presidential elections, which would seem to pose a significant problem for John 'Bonsai' McCain -- but could things be even worse? The shorter candidate does sometimes win, as in 2000 and 2004, but McCain is also the lighter of the two men, and this chart demonstrates that the shorter and lighter candidate has only won once in modern times, when Truman defeated Dewey in the famous upset election of 1948. Senator, it's time to get eating. Your nation's future demands it.
John McCain, lightweight
Barack Obama's election victory is assured: the taller and heavier candidate always wins
