text:
Bryan Ryan is a board member of Lima Public Schools. He is a former member of the Glee Club and Will Schuester's antagonist.
Bryan attended high school with Will, and was also in Glee Club. He is two years older than Will, and reported to have "got all the good parts." Will also remembers him having got all the girls - except one, Will's ex-wife Terri. After high school, he went on cruise ships and did theme park work. He then became addicted to crack and nine years later realized that the arts and the Glee club were good for nothing. He blamed them for ruining his life and, after becoming a board member, sets out to cut school funding and get rid of Glee club.
He is portrayed by actor and singer, Neil Patrick Harris.
Season One
Dream On
Bryan resurfaces as a member of the school board with the intention of cutting the arts program at William McKinley High School, because Glee Club ruined his life.
Will and Bryan went to school together, and they don't like each other. In a flashback sequence of Will in the Glee club, Will watches on uncomfortably as Bryan sings Daydream Believer and performs conjuring tricks.
First, he addresses the glee club, having them each write down their biggest dream on a piece of paper. He then takes Artie's piece of paper, crumples it up, throws it in the trash, and tells them their dreams will never happen- at this, the kids are crushed. Will tries to stop this, but Bryan simply presents Will as an example of someone, whose dream didn't come true.
Will buys Bryan a beer to convince him that he's wrong about Glee Club. Bryan confesses, that he used to have a crush on Terri, and Will says that things didn't work out when he married Terri. Yet music gave him the strength to move on. Bryan admits that he's miserable since he stopped performing.
Will puts Piano Man on the jukebox and he and Bryan sing it together. Will convinces Bryan to audition for the local community theatre's production of Les Misérables. At the Les Mis auditions, Will and Bryan rekindle old rivalries when they're both up for the same part with the same audition song. The director makes them perform one song as a duet. They have a heated musical battle singing Dream On as each tries to upstage the other.
Bryan meets with Sue to say he's cutting the Cheerios budget in favor of the Glee Club. He brings the glee kids presents with their new budget money—dance wear, bedazzled jean jackets and stacks of Broadway sheet music. Sue comes in and congratulates Will on landing the lead in Les Mis over Bryan.
Disappointed and upset that his dreams were crushed yet again, Bryan takes his gifts back and says that he's cutting the Glee Club. Catching up to Bryan later, Will reminds him what it's like to be in high school - with kids labeled with the various stereotypes of jock, queer, nerd, and others - as soon as they walked through the doors freshman year, and what glee once meant to him. Will then describe what happens when a star dies: not only does it fade, but becomes a black hole that takes any nearby light with it. He then compares the kids of New Directions to stars, and claims that if Bryan cuts glee, he'll have created 13 "black holes," and that the kids will then grow up to be as bitter, angry, and cynical as he is.
Will goes on to state that Bryan has become a "black hole" and needs to remember what it was like to be a star. Will offers to give Bryan his role so that he'll understand how important the arts are to a person's soul. In exchange, Bryan agrees not to axe the Glee Club.
Season Three
Saturday Night Glee-ver
Although Bryan is not exactly in this episode, a flashback is shown in where he shows New Directions jackets in Dream On from the first season.
Bryan appears to be very talented, but also easily put off his dreams and enjoys ruining others. He appears to take joy in revenge (even if it wasn't anyone's fault or if it affects other people as well as the people he's taking revenge on). He is sarcastic and bitter to even his so-called friends, usually causing them to feel some kind of guilt. However, he is a very unpredictable character, who can decide to be friendly to those he dislikes (e.g. Will) and likes talking about himself and his past. He is easily hurt or upset, often feeling paranoid or betrayed. In a one-minute flashback, he also appears to be a bit boastful but it is obvious he can put on a good show and is a great performer. At the end of the episode, it becomes clear that he often feels guilty and does try to do the right thing, even if he has to do the wrong thing first.
- Bryan starred in a production of Les Mis.
- He has only ever sung in duets with Will.
- He runs a show choir awareness group.
- He's the only male character on Glee with a name that rhymes.
- He views Terri as "the one that got away," as stated in Dream On.
- Neil Patrick Harris (the actor that plays Bryan) was mentioned on a broadcast of Sue's corner. Where Sue was talking about sneaky gays, and mentioned him. Ironically when he guest stared on the shows as Bryan Ryan, he and Sue had a short lived relationship, that consisted mainly of anger sex, due to Bryan trying to cut Sue's budget and the sexual tension between them, when they were debating the importance of the Arts, and sports in schools respectively.
- Bryan Ryan drives a Hummer.
- In Will's flashback to high school with Bryan, Bryan performs magic. This is a reference to his portrayer (Neil Patrick Harris) being an accomplished magician.
- He openly acknowledges that he is not very good at taking direction - ironic, given the Glee club's name.
- Bryan is competitive to the point of lying and mudslinging, as is evidenced during his Les Mis audition, in which he tells the director that Will is a sexual predator, solely to gain an edge over him.

Khanna's scholarship and foresight are world-class. A must-read for the next President."
Chuck Hagel,
Former U.S. Secretary of Defense
We're accelerating into a future shaped less by countries than by connectivity. Mankind has a new maxim – Connectivity is destiny – and the most connected powers, and people, will win.
In this book Parag Khanna guides us through the emerging global network civilization in which mega-cities compete over connectivity more than borders. His journeys take us from Ukraine to Iran, Mongolia to North Korea, Panama City to Dubai, and the Arctic Circle to the South China Sea—all to show how 21st century conflict is a tug-of-war over pipelines and Internet cables, advanced technologies and market access.
Yet Connectography is a hopeful vision of the future. Khanna argues that new energy discoveries and innovations have eliminated the need for resource wars, global financial assets are being deployed to build productive infrastructure that can reduce inequality, and frail regions such as Africa and the Middle East are unscrambling their fraught colonial borders through ambitious new transportation corridors and power grids. Beneath the chaos of a world that appears to be falling apart is a new foundation of connectivity pulling it together.
Parag Khanna is a leading global strategist, world traveler, and best-selling author. He is a CNN Global Contributor and Senior Research Fellow in the Centre on Asia and Globalisation at the Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy at the National University of Singapore. His previous books include The Second World and How to Run the World. He is also Managing Partner of Hybrid Reality, a boutique geostrategic advisory firm, and is a Young Global Leader of the World Economic Forum.
Connectography is ahead of the curve in seeing the battlefield of the future, and the new kind of tug-of-war being waged on it. Khanna's scholarship and foresight are world-class. A must-read for the next President.
Chuck Hagel,
Former U.S. Secretary of Defense
This is probably the most global book ever written. It is intensely specific while remaining broad and wide. Its takeaway is that infrastructure is destiny: Follow the supply lines outlined in this book to see where the future flows.
Kevin Kelly,
Senior Maverick, WIRED
Khanna's new book is a brilliant exploration of supply-chain geopolitics and how the intersection of technology with geography is reshaping the global political economy. It is an intellectual tour de force that sparkles with original insights, stimulating assertions, little-known facts, and well-researched predictions.
Chas W. Freeman, Jr.,
Chairman, U.S. China Policy Foundation, and former U.S. Ambassador to Saudi Arabia
Connectography proves why the past is no longer prologue to the future. There's no better guide than Parag Khanna to show us all the possibilities of this new hyper-connected world.
Mathew Burrows,
Director, Strategic Foresight Initiative at the Atlantic Council, and former Counselor, U.S. National Intelligence Council
Khanna imagines a near-future in which infrastructural and economic connections supersede traditional geopolitical coordinates as the primary means of navigating our world. He makes a persuasive case: Connectography is as compelling and richly expressive as the ancient maps from which it draws its inspiration.
Sir Martin Sorrell,
Founder and CEO, WPP
Reading Connectography is a real adventure. The expert knowledge of Parag Khanna has produced a comprehensive and fascinating book anchored in geography but extending out to every field that connects people around the globe. His deep insight into communications, logistics and the many other globally critical areas is remarkable. An invaluable resource for anyone involved in business, science, arts or any other field.
Mark Mobius,
Executive Chairman, Templeton Emerging Markets Group
Parag Khanna's latest book provides an invaluable guide to the volatile, confusing worlds of early 21st century geopolitics. A provocative remapping of contemporary capitalism based on planetary mega-infrastructures, inter-continental corridors of connectivity and transnational supply chains rather than traditional political borders.
Neil Brenner,
Director, Urban Theory Lab, Harvard University Graduate School of Design
To get where you want to go, it helps to have a good map. In Connectography, Parag Khanna surveys the economic, political and technological landscape and lays out the case for why 'competitive connectivity'--with cities and supply chains as the vital nodes--is the true arms race of the 21st century. This bold reframing is an exciting addition to our ongoing debate about geopolitics and the future of globalization.
Dominic Barton,
Global Managing Partner, McKinsey & Company
In high style, Parag Khanna re-imagines the world through the lens of globally connected supply-chain networks. It is a world still fraught with perils — old and new — but one ever more likely to nurture peace and sustain progress.
John Arquilla,
Professor, United States Naval Postgraduate School
Connectography gives the reader an amazing new view of human society, bypassing the time-worn categories frameworks we usually use. It shows us a view of our world as a living thing that really exists: the flows of people, ideas, and materials that constitute our constantly-evolving reality. Connectography is a must-read for anyone who wants to understand the future of humanity.
Sandy Pentland,
Professor, MIT Media Lab
Take what you think you know about globalization. Now add steroids. A well-traveled, well-informed guide, Khanna presents a consistently interesting, almost wholly persuasive vision of a future in which flow prevails over friction, where globalization's new scale, depth, and intensity reshape the map we thought we knew.
Kirkus Reviews
I found Connectography invaluable and compelling reading.

The World 4 Degrees Warmer
One of the greatest geopolitical changes of the 21st century will be climate change.The entire population of the Arctic region today is less than 4 million people but it could boom to 400 million within the coming years. This map from The British journal New Scientist outlines which geographies will produce the most food if temperatures rise 4 degrees Celsius.
Africa's remaining faultlines
Beware of straight lines on maps. Africa, which has more straight lines than any other continent, was not divided based geographic or cultural factors but by European countries' bargaining power. This map shows the lingering armed separatist movements and zones of autonomous control within the continent and displays the limits of our current political maps.
The North American Union
North America is evolving beyond the NAFTA trade agreement into an integrated mega-continent of shared resources and infrastructure. Pipelines, railways, electricity grids and eventually hydrological canals all embody the deeper unity emerging across Canada, the US and Mexico, which together form an energy, water, industry and agriculture superpower spanning the Arctic to Central America.

75% viscose, 25% polyamide
Did you know?
Fine knit: many different kinds of knitted material exist, one of which is a fine knit with an extremely fine surface. Available in endless patterns and variations, fine yarn is knitted with thin needles to create an elegant and fine surface.
Viscose: used to be known as 'artificial silk' because like silk it has superb drape, is soft to the skin and can be dyed in rich colours. A man-made fabric, it's made from wood pulp and blends easily. You will often find it blended with other fabrics to add softness, lustre or absorbency (it's highly absorbent and so cool to wear in the summer).
Polyamide: is a synthetically manufactured fibre that has been significantly optimised over the past few years to improve its breathability and comfort when worn. The fibres are extremely durable and can be used in a variety of ways. Polyamide is a popular material for making activewear.

- Assistant Professor of Harp
- Interlochen Arts Academy, H.S. Diploma, 1982
- BM, Cleveland Institute of Music, 1986
- MM, Cleveland Institute of Music, 1989
- Study with Alice Chalifoux and Joan Holland
Yolanda Kondonassis is celebrated as one of the world's premier solo harpists and is widely regarded as today's most recorded classical harpist. Hailed as "an extraordinary virtuosa" and "sheer luminescence at the harp," she has performed around the globe as a concerto soloist and in recital, bringing her unique brand of musicianship and warm artistry to an ever-increasing audience.
Since making her debut at age 18 with the New York Philharmonic and Zubin Mehta, Kondonassis has appeared as soloist with numerous major orchestras in the United States and abroad such as the Cleveland Orchestra, the English Chamber Orchestra, Hong Kong Philharmonic, Houston Symphony, Detroit Symphony, Dallas Symphony, New York Chamber Symphony, Philadelphia Chamber Orchestra, Orquesta Sinfonica de Puerto Rico, Phoenix Symphony, Buffalo Philharmonic, New World Symphony, and Florida Orchestra. Other solo appearances include engagements at Avery Fisher Hall, the 92nd Street Y, and Taiwan's National Concert Hall.
Chamber music is a passion for Kondonassis, and she enjoys every opportunity to indulge. The Cleveland Plain Dealer praised her recent debut performance with guitarist Jason Vieaux as "a joy from top to bottom." Recent seasons have included a tour of New Zealand with the Still/Chase/Kondonassis Trio and frequent appearances at festivals throughout the United States such as the Marlboro, Santa Fe, Spoleto, Tanglewood, Vail, Bay Chamber, Strings in the Mountains, Innsbrook, Great Lakes, and Mainly Mozart festivals. Her concert collaborations have included performances with the Shanghai, Rossetti, JACK, Jupiter, Biava, and Vermeer string quartets, pianist Jeremy Denk, and flutist Marina Piccinini, among numerous others.
Kondonassis carries her passionate artistic commitment to issues regarding the protection of natural resources, air quality, and climate change. Royalties from several of her projects are donated to earth causes, and she is the founder and director of Earth at Heart, a non-profit organization devoted to earth literacy and inspiration through the arts. Her first children's book, Our House is Round: A Kid's Book About Why Protecting Our Earth Matters, was released in 2012 by Skyhorse Publishing.
Born in Norman, Oklahoma, Kondonassis attended high school at Interlochen Arts Academy. She continued her education at the Cleveland Institute of Music, where she received her Bachelor's and Master's degrees as a student of Alice Chalifoux. Kondonassis plays a Lyon & Healy Salzedo Model harp.
Kondonassis' long list of national and international honors includes top prizes in the Affiliate Artists National Auditions in New York and the Maria Korchinska International Harp Competition in Great Britain. The first harpist to receive the Darius Milhaud Prize, she is committed to the advancement of contemporary music through both the performance and commissioning of new works for the harp. The recipient of two Solo Recitalists Grants from the National Endowment for the Arts and a 2011 Cleveland Arts Prize, Kondonassis has been featured on CNN and PBS television as well as Sirius/XM Radio's Symphony Hall and National Public Radio's All Things Considered, St. Paul Sunday Morning, Tiny Desk Concerts, and Performance Today. In addition to her active performing and recording schedule, she heads the harp departments at the Oberlin Conservatory of Music and The Cleveland Institute of Music, and has presented master classes around the world.
As an author, composer, and arranger, Kondonassis has published three books to date: On Playing the Harp, a comprehensive guide to harp technique and methodology that has quickly become a standard in the harp pedagogy literature; The Yolanda Kondonassis Collection, a compilation of her many original transcriptions, arrangements, and compositions for the harp, and The Yolanda Kondonassis Christmas Collection, featuring Kondonassis' most popular arrangements from her acclaimed disc Dream Season: The Christmas Harp. Carl Fischer Music publishes all of her works.
American Harp (Azica), released in 2013 and featuring original harp solos by John Williams, Lowell Liebermann, John Cage, Elliott Carter, Stephen Paulus, and Norman Dello Joio, marks Kondonassis' 17th album in a recording career that has broken boundaries and sold hundreds of thousands of discs and downloads worldwide. Her extensive discography includes Solo Harp: The Best of Yolanda Kondonassis (Azica), celebrating 20 years of critically acclaimed recordings; her Grammy-nominated Telarc release of music by Takemitsu and Debussy entitled Air; and the world-premiere Telarc recording of Bright Sheng's Harp Concerto, written for Kondonassis. Her many discs have earned universal critical praise as she continues to be a pioneering force in the harp world, striving to make her instrument more accessible to audiences and to push the boundaries of what listeners expect of the harp. "Certainly, the harp can be heavenly—and should be at times—but that's only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to this incredible instrument," Kondonassis said in a recent interview.

Starting a Business - How to Open an Account
Step 1
Read the Small Business Guide (ora.wa.gov) to learn what's required to start and operate a business in Washington:
- For instructions for business licensing and hiring employees, read the "Start" chapter.
- For ongoing responsibilities, read the "Run" chapter.
Step 2
File a Business License Application (bls.dor.wa.gov) with the Department of Revenue (DOR). Indicate on the application that you intend to hire an employee. If you plan to hire a worker under the age of 18, apply for a Minor Work Permit as part of your business license application.
Need help applying? Download our step-by-step guide (F101-079-000).
When can I hire workers?
You may start hiring as soon as you have completed and submitted your Business License Application, as long as you have indicated that you plan to hire.
Step 3
DOR will process your application, and notify L&I to open a workers' compensation account. They will also notify the Employment Security Department (ESD) to open an unemployment insurance account.
Within 2 weeks, you'll receive a letter from your new workers' comp account manager, and a packet of information that includes:
- Your workers' comp rate.
- The amount you can deduct from your employees' paychecks.
- Instructions for filing your quarterly reports.
- Required posters for your workplace.
- Notification of workplace safety and health requirements.
How much will I need to pay in premiums?
The packet we send you will include your workers' comp rate. This rate is based on the risk classification we assign you, which is determined by the business activity you noted on your business license application. If we have questions, we will call you for more information.
The rates for each risk class are calculated based on the frequency and severity of illnesses and injuries affiliated with that activity. With some exceptions, rates are stated in cost per worker hour.
When and how do I pay my premiums?
Premium payments are due quarterly, and you can pay them online.
To complete your quarterly report, you will total up worker hours for the preceding calendar quarter and multiply them by your rate. For example, if your rate is $0.7126 and you had 5 employees who worked a total of 2164 hours during the quarter, your premium would be $1,542.07 ($0.7126 x 2164 hours).
Step 4
- Read the Small Business Guide (ora.wa.gov) to understand your obligations as an employer. Specifically:
- In the "Grow" chapter, read section 2, "Employees."
- In the "Run" chapter, read sections 4 and 5 regarding employment taxes.
- Report any employees to the DSHS New Hire Reporting Program (secure.dshs.wa.gov) within 20 days of hire.

1. Specifically for BlueLeaf, we like the pictures on the right side that rotate that show the potential user what the product looks like on the inside.
2. Future website flow / development would be user signs up for the service. Fills out a form indicating their specs. Specs being what piece of jewelry they want i.e. an engagement ring, watch, earrings, necklace etc. Then further specify the parameters of what they want, such as a 2carat, princess cut engagement ring, looking to purchase in the next 30 days, and they only want jewelers from a 25 mile radius of their zip code competing for their business.
3. Then they receive a notice they have 5 offers in their account. They log in to view the offer.
4. If you could design a few rotating images of this flow, that would be cool.

Autumn is one of my favorite times of the year to bake and cook. I am very partial to apple desserts and have a long list of things I'd like to try every day if I had the time.
It was a very easy decision to have #TwelveLoaves November be all about Autumn Fruits: Apples and Pears! I know some of our baking friends have been wondering what the theme is and we are so happy you're anxious to bake with us. We are announcing the theme the first Monday of every month. You can chat with us @TwelveLoaves on Twitter and share with us your suggestions for future ideas. We love to hear from you!
October was an incredible bread baking month all about nuts, seeds and grains. You all really loved the theme and I was amazed with the over 30 mouth watering bread entries. Thank you for baking with us again!! Check out all the fabulous October recipes here!
Autumn Bread with Apples or Pear:
Bake a bread, yeast or quick bread (*did you know a coffee cake is considered a quick bread? You can read about it here), loaf or individual, filled, stuffed, studded or topped with autumn fruits: apples or pear! You can bake with just apples or just pears or with both. It's your bread…we want you to have fun with the idea!
Check out Barb's beautiful: Upside-Down Pear Crunch Coffee Cake
Just follow the rules, it's as easy as pie:
1. When you post your Twelve Loaves bread on your blog, make sure that you mention the Twelve Loaves challenge in your post and mention and link back to this blog post; this helps us to get more members as well as share everyone's posts. Please make sure that your Bread is inspired by the theme! This is obligatory if you would like your link to be included!
2. Please link your post to the linky tool at the bottom of my blog. It must be a bread baked to the Twelve Loaves theme.

What are you waiting for?!? Let's bake some bread!
I am sharing this lovely bread at the weekly Yeastspotting run by the lovely Susan Wild Yeast and Heather from Girli Chef's Bake Your Own Bread.🙂
Apple Bread Ring
equipment: One 9" round cake pan
Dough Ingredients:
7/8 cup warm milk (no more than 110°F [43°C])
1¼ tsp. ( 1 packet) active dry yeast
3-3 1/2 cups bread flour (I used about 3 cups of bread flour and 1/2 cup cake flour)
4 1/2 Tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon salt
2 eggs
4½ Tablespoons butter, room temperature
Apple Filling
1/3 cup light brown sugar
4 tablespoons butter
5 to 6 medium to large apples (I used Fuji), peeled, cored and cut into small chunks
1/2 cup water
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
juice of two lemons
Egg Wash:
1 egg and 1 tablespoon of water whisked together
Icing:1 cup powdered sugar
3 tsps. milk
In a mixer, with a dough hook attachment, add the warm milk and yeast. Mix until blended. Add the sugar and mix about a minute. Slowly mix in 1 cup of the flour until combined. Mix in the eggs one at a time until they are combined. Then add the butter in small chunks and beat well. Add the remaining flour a handful at a time and mix in until a soft but kneadable dough is achieved and the butter thoroughly incorporated. If dough is still too sticky, add flour a tablespoon at a time to achieve the right consistency. Do not add too much flour.
Knead the dough by hand on counter until it is smooth and satiny for a couple of minutes. Add a touch of flour if dough is too sticky.
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let rise and room temperature until doubled in size, 1 – 1 1/2 hours.
While the dough is rising, make the apple filling:
Spray your cake pan with baking spray (or butter and flour)and set aside. Deflate the dough and dump out onto a clean counter or pastry board. Roll the dough out into a rectangular sheet about 16″ by 12″ (40cm by 30cm).
Spread the cooled apple filling over leaving a little dough exposed around the edge.
Carefully roll the dough into a cylinder along the long side. Pinch the dough along the seam to hold it closed, then put the seam on the bottom and adjust the carefully shape into a cylinder.
With a very sharp knife, cut the log into 7-8 slices.
Place the sliced pieces into the pans, with the flat sliced edge down and the seam on the inside. Leave a space in the middle because the dough will expand more while it's resting before baking and you don't want it too squished up. *My dad was here and suggested I use a spatula to lift the rolls from my pastry board to carefully place in the cake pan.
I had an extra apple ring leftover and placed it into another sprayed cake pan.
Set aside to rise uncovered until doubled in size; approximately 45 minutes.
Preheat oven to 350 F.
Brush the apple rings with egg wash and bake at 350°F (180°C) for about 30 minutes, until golden brown.
Here it is HOT out of the oven! Smells incredible!!
When cooled, carefully remove the apple bread ring to a serving plate and drizzle on the icing. Enjoy!
Happy Baking!

NTT DoCoMo preps army-style music phone
Music Porter X unveiled
NTT DoCoMo will next month ship a music player capable of downloading songs from its 3G FOMA mobile phone network. Yes, it's a phone too, but unlike music-friendly mobiles like Motorola's Slvr and Rokr, the Music Porter X is designed to spend as much time hooked up to a hi-fi as placed in a pocket.
Kitted out in a militaristic 'safari green' hue, the Music Porter X contains a mere 1GB of memory, but it supports Sony's ATRAC 3 Plus format which generally delivers better quality at low bit rates than formats like AAC and MP3 do, both of which are also supported by the device. There's an FM radio on board too.
The handset uses Macromedia Flash as the foundation for its user interface, and it ships with a series of rugged, military looking apps full of knobs and dials - there's even a mock-up reel-to-reel screen - in keeping with the casing colour. It almost makes you want to call in airstrikes...
The device sports a big, 2.8in 240 x 400, 262,144-colour display and a 320,000-pixel camera. It weighs 136g and measures 10.9 x 5 x 2.4cm. DoCoMo said it will deliver 170 minutes' talk time, 90 minutes' videocall time and 20 hours' continuous music playback. The Music Porter X ships with a cradle, headphones and a remote control. DoCoMo said a Bose-speaker equipped dock will be made available too.
The device ties in to DoCoMo's online music download channels for which it charges ¥980 ($8.40) a month. There's a ¥2,500 ($21) joining fee, but the cellco appears to be waiving that until 30 June. The Music Porter X goes on sale in Japan on 8 April. ®

"I'm here to help clean up the blood.."
Stretching has been a very long and painful journey for me, and for 7 years worth of work I only had these dinky little 3/4" lobes to show for it. When I decided to move forward from the size I'd been for over 2 years I realised two things: 1. My left ear was thinning at the bottom and 2. I had a blowout and some pretty good sized keloids on my right ear that I felt would make the process more difficult. My first priority was fixing the problems before going any bigger, so I went about looking for someone to remove my keloids and blowout. I went to Brian Decker in Brooklyn. He said the blowout wasn't too bad, but the keloids could be removed fine. That procedure went well, and for 2 weeks I kept jewelry out of my right ear while it healed. After I thought it was healed enough to put jewelry back in, I found that only 5/8" could just barely fit. This was fine, because Brian told me I could try downsizing to coax the blowout back into place, but a few months went by and
it wasn't making and progress and it didn't want to move in its size either.
When I was leaving Brian's shop he told me his friend at a shop in Belleville could take the stitches out. I didn't go to him to take out the stitches but I remembered the shop name and looked him up. His online portfolio didn't have any surgical stuff but I called him anyway. I told him my story and he said he thought he saw me on BME a while ago after my surgery. I came in a little while later for a consultation and he said I would be a good candidate for cutting. I couldn't come up with a size at first; I wanted to be as big as possible, but we decided an inch would be a good enough size. He wanted the scar tissue from the surgery to settle a little more before the cut so he said to wait another month before doing it.
In the meantime I ordered some glass tunnels to use and when they arrived.. man were they huge! Maybe I was making a mistake, maybe that's too big. But the more I looked at them the more excited I got.
The day of the procedure I worked from 7:30 am to 2 pm and was running on around 4 hours of sleep. I tried to take a quick nap after work so I would be well rested for the hour long drive but that didn't work out. I got there and we talked about the different methods there were. Originally I was leaning towards getting stitches to minimise bleeding and healing time, but that would involve removing a lot of tissue so after Dominick's really helpful suggestions I decided to just get them slit and have the plug go right in. One of the tattoo artists from upstairs came down and was joking around with us, and I realised he was going to stay for the procedure and I asked him "why are you here?" He said "to help mop up the blood." and I laughed. They gave me two shirts to change into so I didn't get blood on mine. Then he got the earrings out of the autoclave and everything was set up. He got a little needle full of xylocaine and put it in my left ear. Those injections hurt so I held his assistant's hand. Then, blood started dripping out of my ear and I panicked. I couldn't feel anything in my ear though so I let Dominick do his thing. He clamped and cut, and what I thought would be a quick slice turned out to be a couple minutes of sawing, clamping, pushing, and pulling. When it was finally done I was shaking and my hands were sweating because the two guys struggling over me fumbling with my ear had stressed me out, even though I couldn't feel a thing. I needed a break, so they went upstairs to smoke and I laid back in the chair and took some pictures with my phone. They came back and injected my right ear, this time with more xylocaine, I think because it would be a bigger cut. This one took less time, there was no sawing, but at one point he pulled out a hemostat and wouldn't tell me what he was doing with it. They cleaned the blood off my ear and I looked in the mirror and a lot of emotions came over me. The first was an "oh my go d they are so huge!" feeling, which turned into complete adoration soon after. They were a bloody mess but I just wanted to stare at them for hours.
We went upstairs so I could relax. The right ear kept bleeding and at some points didn't seem like it was gonna stop. Blood did have to be cleaned up off the floor. Dominick let me stay and kept me company and after some cigarettes, Chinese food, and Smirnoff ice I decided I had to go before I was overcome by pain. It was midnight at that point, I had been there around 6 hours. Dominick taped a paper towel to my face so blood wasn't running down my face and neck while I was driving. He is such a sweetheart and I recommend him to anyone for any procedure.
When I got home I immediately took a shower as he recommended I do. The paper towel was pretty saturated in blood and the right ear looked significantly worse than it did at first, while the left looked better. Lots of blood dripped off in the shower, but as a female I'm not afraid of a little blood on the bottom of the tub. I put a towel over my pillows which immediately got bled on. The pain at this point was awful, but not unbearable. I stayed up an extra hour to take another dose of tylenol, and I surprisingly slept for 7-8 hours, a lot more sleep than I was counting on getting.
This is only my first day and it definitely looks a lot worse than it feels. My right ear is bleeding a lot because the cut was bigger, and as soon as I clean up the blood more comes pouring out so I'm just going to leave it alone. Aftercare is easy enough: soak with sea salt water at least once a day, spray with h2ocean a few times a day. I'm not sure if I want to stretch any further but Dominick said I could start again in a few months. I'm very glad I had this done, I feel like it has given me a jump start back into stretching after all these years of complications.

The Social Web: Potential for Abuse Among Teens
Ever wonder what the best way to keep your kids safe online is? Us too! That's why we're starting a 6-part series, Social Network Safety: A Parental Guide, written by a special guest blogger. Read Part I to find out the potential for abuse among teens and tune in for Part 2 next week.
Social Network Safety guest blogger: George Garrick
The rapid and exceptional growth of the social Web presents hundreds of millions of people with wonderful new capabilities and experiences; yet, like many great new Internet services that come along, it has the potential for abuse, especially among younger teens and pre-teens. But perhaps most scary is that younger teens and pre-teens are typically the victims of such abuse, whether it comes from fellow youths, or from adults who may or may not have a prior record of preying on children.
Parents, for their part, are especially concerned about all this, citing contact or solicitations from strangers as their greatest fear. While the dangers associated with being preyed upon by strangers are clear, concerns about online harassment, or "cyber-bullying," as well as a number of other risks, such as disclosure of personal and/or family information, are close behind.
Indeed, in two national research surveys that my company, SocialShield, recently conducted, most parents revealed that they are, indeed, worried that social networks make their children vulnerable to potential dangers like contact from strangers, innocent disclosure of their children's physical location, and other personal or private family information – often without the child realizing it, or having the judgment to determine what to post and what to keep private.
In fact, did you know that most photos posted by your child on a social network contain detailed information about where the photo was taken? This means that a person with devious intent can easily "map out" where your child, their family, and their friends typically hang out, right down to which corner of the playground your family prefers. (It's easy to disable this feature, but most parents don't know how.)
Also, many teens (and, of course, pre-teens), as well as many parents, do not realize that much of what is posted on networks like Facebook becomes "public" because anyone with a browser can see it – not just the user's "friends." Again, you can restrict access to information with privacy settings, but many people don't know how to properly use them. And, in any event, a good "rule of thumb" is that you should never put anything on the Internet that you would not want the whole world to see. (Just ask a few celebrities, whose names I won't mention.)
Other key areas of parental concern include: negative or improper content posted about their children, including possible reputation-damaging posts that could affect eligibility for colleges and jobs; exposure to inappropriate content on topics like sex, drugs, violence and racism; harassment, either by or against your child; and membership in "groups" or clubs with hateful or inappropriate themes such as anti-gay bias.

YouTube assigning workers to review videos to avoid another Logan Paul-type disaster
Your browser does not support the video tag.
In the wake of the Logan Paul controversy, YouTube is trying to reassure advertisers by pledging to "manually review" a significant chunk of the videos on its website.
This means that actual workers, not just algorithms, will review the videos that are within "Google Preferred," YouTube's special program for premium advertising.
The program was created to convince big advertisers to spend more money on YouTube. It fences off the site's most popular videos and lets companies buy ads alongside those videos.
Paul, a video blogger -- or "vlogger" -- with millions of fans, was part of Google Preferred until earlier this month, when YouTube punished him for posting a video of a dead body to his channel.
Paul was widely condemned for showing a corpse hanging from a tree in Japan's Aokigahara forest, also known as "suicide forest," and laughing about his visit.
So now he's out of the program -- but YouTube is facing further scrutiny for its belated reaction to the Paul controversy.
Brand advertisers definitely do not want their commercials showing up next to a vlogger's visit to a "suicide forest."
Before the controversy erupted, Google had already announced a plan to add thousands more video reviewers.
YouTube CEO Susan Wojcicki said in December that the goal was to have "over 10,000" reviewers in place sometime in 2018.
Now the plan is being put into effect. YouTube said Tuesday that it is "changing Google Preferred so that it not only offers the most popular content on YouTube, but also the most vetted."
All of the channels included in the program "will be manually curated," according to a statement, "and ads will only run on videos that have been verified to meet our ad-friendly guidelines."
YouTube previously said that it would be stepping up its efforts to weed out inappropriate content.
It announced a number of other changes on Tuesday, including stricter guidelines for becoming part of the YouTube Partner Program, which allows a user to start making money from ads on the site.

Justin Bieber may want to leave the circus to Britney Spears from now on.
After writing excitedly about his "big night ahead" just hours ago, the newly 19-year-old star just dejectedly tweeted, "Worst birthday."
What happened?!
Justin Bieber: Who needs a shirt when you're only 18?
An eyewitness source exclusively tells E! News that Bieber did indeed hold a circus-themed birthday bash at London's Cirque du Soir tonight with guests including British singer (and the teen's new rumored flame) Ella-Paige Roberts Clarke.
But a couple of hours ago, the insider says, a confrontation occurred between Bieber's entourage and club security, prompting Bieber's entire party to leave. The entire incident went down very quickly and they headed straight back to their hotel afterward, the source adds.
Twitter, meanwhile, is abuzz with disappointed fans using the hashtag "#BeliebersHatePaparazzi" and blaming photographers for ruining the Biebs' big day.

Tagged: Season ticket arrive
Pittsburgh Pirates Season Ticket Design
I got my Pirates season tickets in the mail today.
I love how every spring I get so pumped when I see this package.
When I got home Amy said that a package was waiting for me at the door. She said she thought it was my season tickets. She proceeded to say that she's never seen me run so fast in her life.
I opened it up and laid out the contents. Three season ticket books, with 81 tickets each, for a grand total of 243 tickets, as well as a few inserts:
The inserts I just discarded, as I was most interested as to what was inside the season ticket books.
There was the all important season ticket holders card, that allows me into batting practice before the general public:
Then I started leafing through the book. The first page has season ticket holder and individual game pricing. Most frustrating – additional tickets cost $9 each, rather than $5 like it has always been in the past. (My season tickets cost $4.93 a ticket, I don't see why extras shouldn't cost the same amount.)
The next page features the Pirates schedule along with the Promotional Schedule.
The next pages outline the season ticket benefits along with the ticket exchange program. The Pirates have one of the best ticket exchange program, allowing fans to exchange tickets to 71 of the 81 home games.
But anyhow, the most important part is the tickets themselves and the ticket design. This year's design features four Pirates players in color, while the background is in gray.
Andrew McCutchen was first:
Then Joel Hanrahan:
Neil Walker:
and Jose Tabata:
I'm still not sure if I like the tickets or not. They seem rather dull. I don't know, I'd rate them as mediocre. Maybe they'll grow on me.
Here's a close up of one of McCutchen's tickets:
The package also contained a letter from president Frank Coonelly.
The letter reads:
Dear Erik,
While it has been a relatively mild winter here in Pittsburgh, even warmer weather and the 126th season of Pittsburgh Pirates baseball are both right around the corner. The beginning of Spring Training games in sunny Bradenton Florida means that Opening Day at PNC Park is less than one month away.
We are extremely excited to begin the 2012 season. Last season gave us all a taste of how electric PNC Park can be as we battled for the division lead through the end of July. Our team learned valuable lessons last season and is determined to execute at a championship level for 162 games in 2012. We are extremely happy that you will be part of the excitement and fun that together we will create at PNC Park in 2012.
Enclosed you will find your season tickets for the 2012 season, which is packed with great games and promotions. The season starts off with a bang as we host our in state rivals and Eastern Division Champion Philadelphia Phillies for a three game set beginning on Opening Day, Thursday April 5. The rest of the season features exciting matchups against our NL Central foes, including the defending World Series Champion St Louis Cardinlas and the Central Division Champion Milwaukee Brewers, and exciting interleague visits from the Detroit Tigers, Kansas City Royals, and Minnesota Twins. Plus, we also have some great promotions lined up, including an exciting Summer Concert Series featuring Boyz II Men, Daughtry, Styx, and Lifehouse.
On behalf of the entire Pirates organization, thank you for your dedication and support of Pirates baseball. I look forward to seeing you on Thursday April 5 at 1:35 PM as we officially get the 2012 season started.
Frank Coonelly
Pittsburgh Pirates
What do you all think of the ticket designs?
Are your team's better?
By the way, I also blogged about the season ticket design in 2011 and 2009. You can check out those entries by click the links on the corresponding year.
If you're looking for the shirt I'm giving away, I'll try and post it soon.
I'm busy playing with my daughter and watching the Buccos on MLBtv – and Matt Hague just went deep for the Buccos.
Opening Day is a month away!

Brett Fuller, team chaplain for the Washington Redskins, visits campus
Brett Fuller, team chaplain for the Washington Redskins, gave a high-energy talk at Friday's convocation in the Vines Center.
He spoke about enduring conflicts and trials and using them to become a better person. As a father of seven, he used some humorous tales to engage the audience and spoke about how he's learned to communicate with his wife and build a stronger marriage and family.
He also discussed the impact of the death of Washington Redskins player Sean Taylor on the team. Taylor, 24, died from a gunshot wound he suffered in an apparent armed robbery attempt in November. Fuller said though it was a traumatic event, he has been able to use the experience to talk to others about where they stand in their relationship with Christ.

I was recently thinking about efficient algorithms for modular exponentiation. This led me to the (more interesting, in my opinion) question:
Let $1 < a < n$ be an integer relatively prime to $n$. What is the order of ${\overline{a}}$ in $\mathbb{Z}/n\mathbb{Z}^*$ (the multiplicative group of $\mathbb{Z}/n\mathbb{Z}$)?
I did some Google searching, but all I could find were the obvious facts that the order should divide the order of the group $\phi(n)$ and the exponent of the group $\lambda(n)$ (see Carmichael function). I asked several people if anything more could be said, but the answers were generally: "Some people study this. It is really hard." However, I couldn't find any other references.
Is this a question that has been seriously considered? If so, what is known and does anyone have any good references?
I am happy to suppose that we know a priori the prime factorization of both $a$ and $n$. Even given this information, is there something precise that can be said?
Because this is a (potentially) open problem, it is possible that it should be a community wiki page, I am not entirely certain what the policy is there. If so, someone please wiki-hammer this, as I have not the power! It might also be deserving of the open-problem tag?
Edit: I do in fact have the power to make community wiki posts (which I discovered by checking the faq) just not to edit someone else's. Still, I would prefer that this be a "real" question unless that is inappropriate.
