Harry's Championship Chicken – Shortcut Recipe
My standard response is two easy tips which will give you 90% of the results of competition teams. They are: 1) wet brine the chicken before applying my Jailbird Chicken rub, and 2) cook your chicken in a covered half foil pan after the bark/crust sets. I wrote this handy recipe so I could point future callers to it each time I get the same question.
Step 1: A cooking brine is mixture of water and salt plus flavors (sugar, herbs, spices, color, etc.). The advantage of a wet brine is that it's penetrates very evenly into your protein and makes your chicken more moist and flavorful. This is caused by the repulsion of the positive and negative charged sodium and chloride ions and the flow of a salty solution into the protein through a process of diffusion and osmosis. Of course, I'm over-simplifying the process so please don't debate me on the science as all I'm suggesting is that a salty soak will make your chicken more forgiving to overcooking and give it better flavor. Be aware that the texture gets a bit mushy if you soak it for too long. Three hours is perfect based on the salinity specification in my recipe (about 7.5%). Less than 3 hours, the flavor is lacking. More than 3 hours, the texture is compromised. I know because I've tweaked this formula over many years to win in double-blind judging. When you bite into perfectly cooked chicken, it should have a springiness to the meat and it should be juicy, moist, and flavorful even after spending 2+ hours in the smoker at 275F.
Step 2: I like to cook my chicken (thighs, half-chickens, quarters, wings, or breasts) on the pit grate at 275F with some apple chunks for flavor until the bark or crust forms on the skin. I don't worry about the time. It may be anywhere from 35 mins for wings, 45 minutes for breasts, 60 minutes for thighs, or 1:15 for half chickens. The key in Step 2 is to remove the chicken after the crust forms and wrap it in foil for the second phase. You can wrap using sheets of aluminum foil or put the crusted chicken into a half or full foil pan and then tightly cover it with foil. For competition, I squirt two lines of Parkay on the chicken pieces but for home cooking, I skip the Parkay. This second phase will tenderize the skin and make it bite-through. Remember that barbecue chicken cooked in a smoker under 325F will not have crispy skin like roasted chicken so the objective is to render the collagen in the skin to make it tender. This typically takes another 35 mins for wings, 45 minutes for breasts, 60 minutes for thighs, or 1:15 for half chickens.
Be advised that the 35:35; 45:45, 60:60; 1:15:1:15 recommended times are merely a guide. Depending on the brand, size, and cut of chicken, and your smoker, you may have to vary your times. For example, my current Costco Fosters Farms thighs I'm cooking at contests on my WSM-18 on the top rack @275F needs 60:50. That is 60 minutes to crust and 50 minutes wrapped in foil. At the 50 minute mark, I take out one thigh and do a bite-tenderness test. I then decide if another 5 minutes is necessary or it's perfect. You may need to experiment a bit to find your optimum timing for the chicken brand and chicken cut you buy.
Notice so far that I have not said anything about the internal temp as my cooking method will yield chicken that has a very high finish temperature above 185F. You might be concerned that is will be overcooked and dry but it's not. You will have to trust me. Here's a challenge for you. If you use my rub and sauce, it may be one of the best championship chickens you've tried to cook. Try it and you will see.
- 8 chicken thighs (you can also do wings, breasts, quarters, or halves)
- 4 tablespoons Slap Yo Daddy Jailbird Championship rub
- SYD Championship Sauce
- Brine
- ¼ cup non-iodized table salt (the cheap kind, no expensive Kosher or Diamond Crystal salt needed)
- 4 cups cold water (32 oz)
- ½ cup golden brown sugar C&H brand
- Add these optional items if you have them. If not, no big deal. Springs of fresh thyme, 1 tablespoon chopped garlic, 2 bay leaves torn in pieces, handful of black peppercorns
- Mix brine ingredients in a bowl and pour into a gallon plastic zip bag. You can scale up my recipe for the brine and seasonings if you're cooking more than 8 thighs
- Trim your chicken into shape so the pieces don't have any excess skin or gobs of fat.
- Place chicken in the bag with the brine and rest in fridge for 3 hours.
- Remove chicken from fridge, drain off excess brine, and lay it skin down
- Apply a medium-heavy coat of SYD chicken rub. That is, you apply enough rub so that the meat is covered and becomes opaque from the rub layer. Most people are surprised by how much rub is needed.
- Rest skin side down for 30 minutes in the fridge (optional), flip, and repeat with a medium coat.
- Set up pit with hot zone and cool zone of 275F grate temp. Smoke indirect in 275F zone for about 45-1:15 to set the crust
- Remove and cover in foil either wrapped with foil sheets or covered foil pan
- Cook @275F for another 45 to 1:15. You can do this part in your oven
- Vent the foil and let it cool a bit before you sauce and serve. You can also sauce and set it on the pit for 5 minutes

Oh those look lovely!
I tried to do everything exactly like the recipe. The chicken thighs were moist and delicious but the skin was like tough rubber. Any ideas on what I have could have done wrong? Thanks Jim
Hi Jim,
Just a thought – and I'm no Harry Soo – but you might start your grill/smoker at 325-375 to set the skin. Or, if you're using a charcoal grill, create that 2 zone fire that Harry talks about and place the chicken skin side down directly over the hot coals to caramelize the rub. But watch it carefully 5+ minutes is sometimes all it takes. Happy Qing!
Too high heat and you risk the skin shrinking up too much. I just had this happen at a comp a few wks ago and our pit was at 325-350 when we started.
sometimes bringing the skin can make it rubbery.
Hi, What is the Brine Recipe?
Hi Harry. Great recipe. I'm subscribed to your YouTube channel also. I was wondering if you have any chicken sauce recipes you'd like to share?
Harry's Great recipe I got to try this.
Harry – thank you so much for posting this recipe. We did it yesterday with chicken thighs and legs on a GAS grill. We used foil pouches and got great smoke for nearly an hour. The cook took much longer than anticipated but with the gas grill we have, it was still a workable compromise. Love your videos. Hope to see many more.
After the first hour I placed the spotchcocked chicken in an alum. pan and wrapped it. I have a MAK pellet smoker. I then placed the wrapped chicken in my kitchen oven to finish. After another 50 minutes I removed the chicken and It was wonderful. The seasoned juice in the bottom of the pan was great. I poured it into a bowl and served it with the chicken as an additional sauce. Great. I used Harry's all purpose rub since I didn't have any of his chicken rub.
I did legs 45:45 and it turned out great! Bite through skin. I did prick the skins but didn't scrape them. They had the perfect level of salt and were juicy due to the 3 hour brine. You chicken rub is well balanced, has good flavor, and a little heat. Thanks for sharing this!
Could you cook it in the pan first and then sear it at last

Georgia the long way round
So onto Georgia and a wholly different country from Turkey but a great experience all the same. We entered the country through the 'back door' so to speak. With no trace of tourism in sight and the local families all hard at work cutting hay in the fields, we were a little thrown at first. The first villages we came to were silent, with no visible shops or banks, just fairly impressive huge grey houses with shady gardens and plum trees lining the road. The signs are cyrillic so unhelpful to us initially. We reconsulted the map and kept riding until we came to Akhaltsikhe, a large town in the shadow of an enormous restored castle. We withdrew some Lari from an ATM and it wasn't long before Chris had sniffed out the cheesy pie shop on the High Street and ordered a selection of this national delicacy.
Considering how knackered our legs were feeling from five days straight in the mountains, our decision to take the long route to Tbilisi along the south of the country, almost to the Armenian border, rather than the more straight forward route north still mystifies me. This is what we did though thinking that the route promised some great camping spots at the alpine lakes shown on the map. And to be fair, we had some cracking spots. The first night though was probably the best when we checked into Hotel Chico at Aspindza after only 47km of riding. It was already 4pm by the time we arrived for our ice-cream stop and the views from their terraces were so spectacular we enquired about the price. £20 for a beautiful room and a restaurant with 50p beers sealed the deal.
The next day took us to the market town of Akhalkalaki, high up in the mountains and about 40km from the Armenian border. It's a town at the crossroads and its contrasts became evident to us in the three languages spoken – Georgian, Russian and Armenian. The Armenian shop owners were having nothing of our attempts at Russian and the Georgians just laughed at us. Bland, low, featureless buildings on broken roads didn't promise much, but then we turned a corner onto a fresh food market that continued further than we could see. Food is always cause for excitement so we parked the Trolls and marched on in. One nuance of the Georgians is their love of Tarragon. It certainly adds flavour to the cucumber and tomato duo that has been our staple three meals a day for some time now. Big bunches of it were on sale throughout the market and we added it to our food bag. I also took the opportunity to try the Tarragon lemonade we had seen people drinking everywhere. A seriously evil looking bright green soft drink it tastes as bad as it looks I'm afraid. We wandered the market for quite some time. Chris focussed on adding some variety to our food bag whilst I gawped at the women. Most were dressed to the nines in strappy heels and short tight dresses, swinging handbags as they greeted each other with kisses on each cheek. They looked so out of context with the surroundings, yet their ability to strut the broken streets without twisting an ankle indicated years of practice.
Back at the Trolls, we had stowed our finds and were about to set off when another cyclist appeared and laid his bike down in front of us whilst excitedly asking whether we had a chain tool. He had just discovered his broken chain link and looked up to see us on the other side of the road preparing to leave and couldn't believe his luck! We got chatting as Chris fixed his chain and he told us he has been living in a Monastery located in caves in the countryside for the past month, so St Christopher is clearly looking after him too! He was a nice guy, a Spaniard, who likes to think of himself as a ghost who passes through the places he visits leaving no trace and avoiding attention. He was grateful for Chris' help and insisted on buying us one of the local fresh yoghurt drinks and showed us his detailed map of the area as he was worried about one of the roads on the route we were planning. It turned out to be good advice and we had to extend our route a little more to avoid an unsealed road up a mountain to the first lake we had planned on camping at that night.
We enjoyed our riding through Georgia. For the most part it continued to be fairly tough going through the mountains, but small rewards such as a driver leaning out the window to pass us each a chocolate, or going off course a little to visit a convent promising fresh cheese and discovering a small community of nuns in the middle of nowhere producing exquisite cheeses, honey, cookies and truffles, finding the inconspicuous hole in the wall in each village to buy hot, fresh bread and cheesy pies. On peering into the darkness of the small hole we would usually find a cavernous interior with a wood fire and a proud baker only too happy to show us around.
Quirks were the way most food is sold by weight, from cheese and vegetables to the huge array of breakfast biscuits and chocolates. It's sort of like pick 'n mix except that mixing is not on unless the shop person picks for you. At one point east of Tbilisi, this extended even further to a run of specialty towns in that we would ride through a town where all street vendors only sold cheese so we would feel obliged to stop at a vendor and buy some cheese. The next town would only sell melons and the next only dried fruit stuffed with walnuts etc. This ensured some good interaction and banter in each town as well as a continued source of calories and energy, not to mention something to look forward to. The perfect cycle touring set up really.
On the hazards side, the drivers turned out to be everything we had read. Dangerous, crazy hooligans who scared the hell out of us countless times a day. The dogs were the same as were the hostel patrons in Tbilisi. I won't go into detail about the hostel and the sisters who ran it but rather say that we were relieved to get out. Once again we had a storm for our descent from the mountains. This time there was heavy rain for several hours which turned into hail and then fog. Enough fog for us to miss a turn and add even more distance to our route. We did make it out of the country alive and happy though and our last experience of the Georgia was when I handed over our last 75 lari cents (hardly any pennies) to a roadside seller and asked for a tomato and a cucumber. She filled an entire shopping bag with tomatoes, cucumbers, tarragon and grapes and gave us a big happy wave off to the border of Azerbaijan where the exit sign from Georgia wished us luck!

Everything's more challenging from the perspective of an offshore platform. That's another way of saying everything's more expensive. This is especially true when it comes to mitigating the effects of corrosion on carbon steel pipelines.
Marine environments are hostile to begin with. Steel is always going to be the loser in the battle against corrosion, but on an offshore platform, the process is accelerated. An operator faced with repairing or replacing tubulars must also contend with the logistical isolation—getting material and manpower offshore, hiring divers to assess and repair breaches, ad infinitum. Installing a new pipeline out here is far more time-consuming and can cost more than what it costs onshore—and it's not exactly cheap onshore.
Fortunately, a cost-effective solution that has been very successful in onshore applications is quickly proving its value offshore.
Thermoflex rehab: a welcome sea change
Manufactured by Polyflow, Thermoflex® is a lightweight, spoolable pipe with a patented layering system comprised of aramid fibers for strength. It offers higher pressure capabilities than HDPE—up to 2,000 psi—and features a nylon lining for corrosion protection. It's flexible, fast and easy to install, and requires no heavy machinery or welding.
For years, Thermoflex has been used onshore to rehabilitate aging pipeline. Due to the product's low-friction coefficient, Thermoflex can achieve flow rates comparable to those of much larger-diameter pipes. Its higher pressure and temperature rating, along with low permeability characteristics, make it ideal for pipeline rehabilitation.
In a process developed by Polyflow, a pig is run through an existing steel pipeline while pulling a rope, which is then used to pull a section of Thermoflex pipe back through the existing pipeline. Because Thermoflex is lightweight, the process doesn't require a lot of pulling force, taking usually just a few hours per mile.
Compared to a new steel installation, costs for material, initial labor, and long-term maintenance are dramatically reduced. Offshore, obviously, those advantages are multiplied.
Field-proven, paradigm-shifting
One production company recently operating in the Gulf of Mexico was experiencing multiple leaks in an existing 14,000-ft. line comprised of 4-inch, 6-inch, and 8-inch steel pipe connecting an offshore platform to an onshore facility. Because the line carried oil, brine, and gas, a corrosion-resistant material was needed.
A Thermoflex pipe was pulled through the existing pipeline, which was flooded with seawater, reducing the required pulling force by 90 percent. In just three hours, a winch truck on the platform pulled through 9,000 feet of Thermoflex. A second spool was attached using a jointless splice coupling. The new, corrosion-resistant line was successfully hydrotested at 750 psi—1.5 times the maximum operating pressure.
A game changer offshore and onshore, Thermoflex has proven to be a cost-effective alternative to steel for the rehabilitation of aging pipelines. It can handle high-temperature, high-pressure requirements of oil and gas applications, along with the unique challenges presented by marine environments.

Yoga In Strange Places
No Studio Required
Anyone can do yoga at a gym or in a yoga studio, but how does balancing a tree pose in unconventional places inspire your practice? I am personally bent on practicing yoga in a studio or my basement in my daily routine. However, a handful of my girlfriends who are avid yoga practitioners and I have done a few downward dogs in strange and strangely beautiful places. Practicing yoga outside the customary environment conceivably fosters a sense of adventure, adaptability and to see the sacredness of the practice wherever we may find ourselves. Real estate agents are all about location, but for the devoted yogi, the locale plays only a part.
One of the remarkable gifts of yoga is the portability of the practice that can be done in close quarters with no mat required! One of my girlfriends was on a long haul flight with her entire family of six. After flight delays, children fighting and it just being a generally stressful travel day, my friend was feeling desperate for yoga to ease her aching and agitated mind and body. She went to the back of the plane in the galley and did a short standing sequence including lunges and warrior poses to feel some relief!
I have practiced and taught yoga at interesting event spaces, like nightclubs. A good idea theoretically, however, bars and dance floors do not look as sexy when sober and in broad daylight! A fun experience once you can get past the lingering scent of stale beer and cigarettes, which makes for an intoxicating practice!
A friend of mine attended a yoga event held in a church. Practicing in a holy place, my friend shared that she felt a deep sense of appreciation for yoga's ancient traditions and being in a place of ritual, magnified the experience for her.
Of course, an environment can add richness and beauty to a yoga practice when in wondrous places, like nature. A magical moment happened to a friend of mine as she led a group of 15-year-old girls through the wilderness on a two-week canoe trip. Using a damp towel, my friend practiced sun salutations on big flat rocks that jutted out to a lake. She inspired her campers and by the fifth day, all were breathing and moving together as one, doing postures on uneven surfaces like dirt and grass.
One of my favourite experiences, was practicing yoga overlooking a wine vineyard in the country. It was wonderful to inhale the sweet air as we moved through the practice and meditated surrounded by grapevine plantations.
The gift of practicing yoga in strange, non traditional places is that it illuminates the sacredness of every moment and every breath. When the whole world becomes a place to practice yoga, we can more easily see the divine that is present.
Sari Nisker-Fox is a yoga teacher and holistic life coach who brings the yoga practice into studios, business and back into nature at The Yoga Weekend. www.sarifox.com

Technology turning media industry upside down, says BCG's Patrick Forth5 min read . Updated: 25 Jul 2017, 04:20 AM IST
Boston Consulting Group's Patrick Forth on how technology is disrupting media businesses and measures the firms in the sector could take to stay afloat
New Delhi: Patrick Forth, global leader of The Boston Consulting Group's technology, media and telecommunications practice and a member of the corporate development strategy and operations practices, has offices in Sydney and London. "But I am on the ride all the time, from China to the US to everywhere," he said, on his recent visit to India to meet his clients. In an interview, he spoke about technology disrupting media businesses and measures the firms in the sector could take to stay afloat.
Edited excerpts:
What are the changes in media firms owing to technology and consumer behaviour?
No industry has been impacted by digital disruption more than the media industry. Consumer behaviour around the world is changing dramatically. The print media industry is very concerned because around the world print readership is declining. But it's true that around the world our consumption of media is increasing because we have so much more available technology. People have smart devices and high bandwidth connectivity, so you can watch a 4K video on the bus on your way home which you couldn't do before. Of course, you could still watch media in your lounge on your big flat screen but you can snack bite on social media while you are in a traffic jam or in the lift.
So, media consumption is growing. Customers expect to hear the news when it breaks, whether that's on Twitter or on a masthead. They expect to see the news and the social comment around it straightaway. Consumer expectations have risen enormously.
So if we don't change our business models in the media industry, we have got a big problem because there are disruptors coming in all the time… whether it's social media or instant messaging, or even traditional media that is getting it right in terms of mobile-first offers. Technology is turning our industry pretty much upside down.
What's the impact on traditional media as social, mobile and video channels mature?
Traditional media, if it doesn't respond, will clearly be challenged and may even die. If you look to the US, many print media companies have already died. So the challenge for media companies is to change the business models to understand what consumer needs are and to react and respond to that. Now those who react and respond well will have a great future. There are companies like Recruit in Japan, which have successfully transformed from print to digital. There are many print media companies which have turned old classifieds ads into online verticals like real estate, jobs and automotive sales. Others are experimenting with mobile-first business models and ancillary businesses like conferences, loyalty and e-commerce. So there are many ways in which a media company can respond.
What are some of the smart media companies doing in mobile?
The first thing best companies are doing in mobile is designing mobile-first customer experiences. In mobile-first, the word "first" is very important because what many media companies design for is print and then say we better put that on our mobile website. That is not mobile-first. If you really design mobile-first, then there is no 11 o'clock cut-off because it is a 24-hour cycle where news is continually refreshed. That is a big change and not many print media companies have moved there yet. Then there's the user experience of the mobile version—how easy is it to navigate, to export an article to a social media site or to save that article. Or how easy is it to contribute to social media responses on that article in real time. That's what I mean by mobile-first.
That is not all. It is a different way of writing for editors and journalists. It's a different cost base in terms of what's needed to support that because lots of mobile businesses are very low-cost. They don't have the infrastructure of large print presses you have in the print media industry. So it's a different mindset.
There is also obviously video. Video consumption has grown astronomically. So journalists need to respond to this. So how do you gather that video, where do you put that on the mobile site, how do you then put adverts in. So the incorporation of video in that business model is also very important.
What is your advice to traditional media firms?
The first one is to manage the existing business for profitability. There is a lot of value embedded in print media companies by just doing today's business better—better advertising solutions, more efficient corporate systems. That gives them more profits and, may be, more time to think about where this is going. So, job No.1: make today's business better. Job No.2: think about how to move to that digital business model—mobile-first, innovative, different cost based, highly responsive, driven by data and analytics. And may be No.3 is to think about the portfolio in the business. Are there other businesses you could be winning—online classifieds, travel, healthcare, education? So those are the three challenges, make today's businesses work, transform today's business and think about building a new business. It is a challenging but a very rich agenda for media company executives.
Monetizing digital media is still an issue.
It depends. If you look at things like real estate, jobs and cars, those businesses are highly profitable. If you look at Recruit of Japan, it is highly profitable. Many digital businesses are profitable. I think what you are talking about is the digital mastheads. That is a little different. In many countries, we have become used to getting news for free. So we expect it online for free now. In many countries around the world, people have put up paywalls; it's a very hard thing to do. But monetization is certainly growing. You have to be very careful about the trade-off between subscription revenue and advertising revenue. What you were implying is that digital advertising yields are much lower than they are in print. It is just a different business. You need to think about how to respond to that. But digital profitability is clearly increasing. It is a tough transition. But it's doable.
In the past, Nikkei acquired The Financial Times and Jeff Bezos acquired Washington Post. Do we see more such deals?
There will be a lot more deals in the media industry for sure. The logic for doing them is different. So Nikkei and the FT, I think, was about building a global business news franchise. That's a specific segment. It is very amenable to a global value proposition because in this world of global business, Americans are interested in what happens in Japan, China and India and vice-versa. So that's the logic on that one.
Bezos buying Washington Post, you can speculate to what his logic was. I don't think it is the biggest jewel in the Amazon crown, but may be it has its uses. Then there is some consolidation still taking place. I am sure there will be some in emerging markets. Here in India also there will be some consolidation. There are companies getting into new areas—digital , video, mobile, production. So you will continue to see a lot of M&A activity.

text: When you build a full range Stereo HiFi type cabinet Theil Small parameters come into play when tuning the cabinet to match the woofer's low end capabilities in order to get a flat and extended bass response out of the speaker. When tuning guitar cabinets with an open back the builder is clearly looking to build the cabinet like it wasn't an infinite baffle. But when building a closed cabinet how important is it to build it according to the speakers TS parameters? It would seem to me that you would want to optimize the bass response at at least 60HZ, given some room for detaining. Otherwise tuning the cabinet for 80HZ would make sense since low E is 82.2HZ. What do you recommend?

I completed my acupuncture training in 1995. I was amazed by some of the "miraculous results" I witnessed during the training — even more so after I started treating patients myself with acupuncture. I was very excited and couldn't wait to share these results with my medical colleagues. I was convinced that once they saw such incredible therapeutic results they would immediately be interested in learning more and the practice of acupuncture would spread like wildfire throughout the medical community.
Such an opportunity came within the next two weeks. A 65-year-old woman, a known patient of mine, was wheeled into my office for a severely sprained ankle. (She had accidentally caught her foot in a hole while walking in a field.) The ankle was markedly swollen, primarily on the lateral side, and she was unable to bear any weight on it. She had significant tenderness over the lateral malleolus, as well as significant pain on attempted manipulation of the ankle.
At that time, I was practicing in a group comprised of internists, a family practitioner and a part-time orthopedic surgeon. I asked the surgeon to see the patient. He did a clinical evaluation, obtained an X-ray (negative) and confirmed a severe sprain. When asked about the prognosis, he said it would take at least 4-6 weeks for her to start walking again without pain.
I proceeded with an acupuncture treatment on her: a simple TMM of the bladder, gall bladder and stomach meridians with several Ah Shi points on the foot and ankle (all in dispersion). After the 30-minute session, the patient felt markedly better and was able to stand and walk without pain.
I was ecstatic! And I was confident that after seeing such an amazing recovery the orthopedic surgeon would be converted into a "believer." However, no such thing happened. The young orthopod came to the patient room, saw her standing and walking without pain, made an unintelligible sound, "Hmmm," and walked away without making any other comments or even talking to me about the case.
I was certainly disappointed that my colleague didn't share my enthusiasm for such a dramatic result.
I'm sorry to say, this experience is just one example that represents the barriers acupuncture faces within the established medical community. Acupuncture has been applied for longer than 3,000 years, and the advances in modern science are now validating the efficacy of the modality. More and more controlled studies are confirming that acupuncture can be extremely effective and provides tangible results with few side effects. Yet it continues to be labeled an "alternative" therapy — although it is, fortunately, losing the stigma that it's "snake oil" offered by "quacks." In addition, the results achieved by skillfully placed needles challenge some of the basic tenants of standard medical training and certainly threaten financial interests of drug companies and the healthcare system, in general.
Understanding that these very real barriers exist, what we can do to overcome them? As medical acupuncturists, the onus falls on our shoulders to raise awareness of our fellow physicians, our patients and the healthcare industry.
The ultimate goal, always, is to provide our patients with the best and most effective methods of care. It would be a great service to move acupuncture away from an "alternative" therapy into the standard curriculum of medical education, so physicians have yet another effective tool to promote health in their patients.

Many physicians practicing medical acupuncture today obtained their original training a number of years ago. There are excellent training programs available where a physician can obtain initial training in medical acupuncture. There are also an increasing number of learning opportunities in specialized areas or in new areas of medical acupuncture. But there are limited opportunities available for physicians to obtain an organized review of that original knowledge acquired years earlier. The Medical Acupuncture Review Course was developed by the AAMA's Education Committee to provide a broad-based refresher course on the major subject matter areas with which a well-trained physician should be familiar. The Review Course is especially useful as a refresher for those who obtained their acupuncture training some time ago and for those who are seeking an organized review prior to taking the ABMA Board Certification Examination. The course is offered during the week prior to the Annual Symposium (April 21-22, 2020) in the same hotel as the Symposium.
In a recent digital newsletter celebrating a new cohort of program graduates, the ACUS Foundation focused its content on inspiring stories of gratitude and impact. Read more about how military physicians and healthcare providers are incorporating acupuncture into their patient care.
AAMA members are encouraged to submit pragmatic clinical trial proposals (not placebo comparisons). One grant (up to $30,000) will be awarded each year. Submission deadline is January 30, 2020. Grant award will be announced at the 2020 Annual Symposium, April 24-26, 2020, in Orlando, FL. Read more on the AAMA website or contact Larissa Bresler, MD, DABMA, for more information.

On October 8, 2017, a series of fires started burning across our state, destroying over 245,000 acres in Napa, Lake, Sonoma, Mendocino, Butte and Solano Counties. These fires were the costliest group of wildfires in the history of California and the most destructive, causing at least $9.4 billion dollars in insured damages. So we must ask ourselves, can this ever happen to me? Unfortunately, it can happen to any of us. This blog will delve into some very important information–the explanation of homeowner's insurance and why you should review your policy.
Typically, since our mortgage company requires us to have homeowner's insurance, we find the least costly solution and hide the documents in a file drawer expecting never to need them. But, what if the unthinkable happens?
In 2009, a neighbor called me at work about 5 p.m. and excitedly said "Come home! Your house is on fire." When I arrived home, the fire was out. My 92-year-old father had managed miraculously to escape unharmed. One of our dogs was at the emergency vet unable to be saved. The home was a smoldering mess, almost destroyed completely. We had the clothes on our backs, nowhere to sleep, and the graciousness of our neighbors. That was the beginning of a three-year process to settle our claim with the insurer and rebuild our home. I suddenly had two more full-time jobs–dealing with the insurer and working with the architect and contractor, in addition to running my own business. My life began to revolve around those pieces of paper defining the contractual relationship between the insurer and me–the homeowner's policy.
3. The insurer will work with you to settle any claim.
3. The insurance company is not your friend or ally. Your adjuster's interest is to protect the insurer–not you the policyholder.
Many insurers, agents, and homeowners are too casual about the insurance process. The agent is seeking a sale. On the other hand, the client probably misunderstands the industry jargon, may just want to get coverage in place quickly at the lowest price, and doesn't know the questions to ask the agent. The sales process results in a high potential for pain if the policy is ever needed. The claims process is governed first by the specifics of the policy. It's a contract. Definitions matter. Contract definitions are specific to the industry, through case law and practice. Be sure you know what terms mean and how they affect coverage.
California policies have four areas covering property losses: the dwelling, other structures (such as a deck), personal property, and loss of use. The dwelling and other structures need to be insured for the cost of construction-not the market value of the property. Personal property is often based on a percentage of the dwelling coverage. Loss of use covers the extra expenses incurred while you are not in your home. Dwelling replacement cost is often misunderstood and underestimated. You need to know the replacement standard being used to replace the home. Will it be "Like Kind and Quality" or "replication," usually referred to as "Full Replacement"? A new home built in a housing tract is likely of simple construction methods. It has lots of clean lines, standard-sized cabinets, and windows. But suppose you have a San Francisco Victorian, with custom windows, lots of detailing in the exterior and interior design, and different roof elevations. The new home might cost $300 per square foot, while the Victorian may run $600 per square foot. If you want the Victorian rebuilt as it was, it will be a much higher cost to replace it due to labor and materials.
What about coverage for codes and ordinances? Your policy provides limits to bring your structure up to current standards. For example, to replace all the windows it may cost $8,000. But if the City codes required triple-pane, non vinyl replacements, the cost would jump to $40,000. The difference in the cost might not be covered fully by the policy. Finally, market value and replacement cost are not related. Know your options-replacement cost or actual cash value (a lesser standard). You pay extra for full replacement cost coverage. Before purchasing a policy you must interview the agent, testing how the policy will work in specific instances. Does the policy cover your Wolf range or would that be replaced with a GE range? Obtain and retain details about artwork, inventory, warranties. If you have valuable collections, jewelry or artwork, have it appraised and carried on a separate schedule. Be sure to have the policy re-evaluated every policy renewal.

Bruce Kesler writing at the Examiner looks at the complaints of those on the right and left and then suggests some ways to make the Medicare prescription drug benefit work better for patients.
Most partisan liberals and conservatives are in need of a reality-prescription to clarify their approach to the new Part D Medicare prescription drug benefit. This is a classic polarized left-right ideological confrontation that neglects the interests of the vast middle…
Mark McClellan, administrator for the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, said investigators asked customer service reps for information that they are not required to provide, and may even be prohibited from providing.
"Medicare has never required drug plan call centers to provide detailed information about the prices of specific combinations of drugs," he said. "Despite this fact, two of GAO's five questions were on this topic."Kesler suggests enlisting doctors in the process to better serve patients and to better utilize the program.

4/30/18 Daily Bible Reading: 1 Kings 12-14, John 18, Proverbs 30
Heed the advice of the elder!
1 Kings 12:6-16 (NKJV)
Then King Rehoboam consulted the elders who stood before his father Solomon while he still lived, and he said, "How do you advise me to answer these people?" And they spoke to him, saying, "If you will be a servant to these people today, and serve them, and answer them, and speak good words to them, then they will be your servants forever." But he rejected the advice which the elders had given him, and consulted the young men who had grown up with him, who stood before him. And he said to them, "What advice do you give? How should we answer this people who have spoken to me, saying, 'Lighten the yoke which your father put on us'?" Then the young men who had grown up with him spoke to him, saying, "Thus you should speak to this people who have spoken to you, saying, 'Your father made our yoke heavy, but you make it lighter on us'–thus you shall say to them: 'My little finger shall be thicker than my father's waist! And now, whereas my father put a heavy yoke on you, I will add to your yoke; my father chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scourges!' " So Jeroboam and all the people came to Rehoboam the third day, as the king had directed, saying, "Come back to me the third day." Then the king answered the people roughly, and rejected the advice which the elders had given him; and he spoke to them according to the advice of the young men, saying, "My father made your yoke heavy, but I will add to your yoke; my father chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scourges!" So the king did not listen to the people; for the turn of events was from the LORD, that He might fulfill His word, which the LORD had spoken by Ahijah the Shilonite to Jeroboam the son of Nebat. Now when all Israel saw that the king did not listen to them, the people answered the king, saying: "What share have we in David? We have no inheritance in the son of Jesse. To your tents, O Israel! Now, see to your own house, O David!" So Israel departed to their tents.
John 18:4-6 (NKJV)
Jesus therefore, knowing all things that would come upon Him, went forward and said to them, "Whom are you seeking?" They answered Him, "Jesus of Nazareth." Jesus said to them, "I am He." And Judas, who betrayed Him, also stood with them. Now when He said to them, "I am He," they drew back and fell to the ground.

Fri, 20 Jul 2012 04:25:33 PermalinkReading a book on Queen Marie of Romania and her devotion to the Bahai faith… Surprising pay-off are the detailed descriptions in the correspondence from Martha Root, the Bahai missionary, of the several magnificent palaces the Romanian royals inhabited…the furnishings..ceremony…and graciousness with which they entertained even the most humble of guests. Especially the details of the interiors and how the family were living, in relative modesty. The thirties in Eastern Europe from a perspective which few have had the opportunity to share. I have met real royalty and they are invariably gracious to all those around them…unlike the nouveau riche

Family Features
When it comes to Halloween, carving the same pumpkin designs each year can become routine. But that's not a problem at Pelham Vision Center in Greer. The entire staff there, doctors, technicians and assistants decided to have some fun this year, so they divided up into groups and their challenge was to come up with a pumpkin fit for the season.
The pumpkins ranged from a minion, to a beautiful, glittery pumpkin, to a couple: Mr. and Mrs. I.C. Goode (notice the play on words).
Optometrist Dr. Kerry Steck said everyone had fun with their creations and deciided others should enjoy them too. So they lined them up on the check-in counter so their patients could see them. The pumpkins were getting so much attention, they decided to hold a contest. Each pumpkin was given a number. As patients came in and commented on the pumpkins, they were told they could then vote for their favorite.
We have to wait until Halloween to see which pumpkin is the winner, but watching the reaction of patients as they oame in made all the creations winners.
Ever thought of carving a watermelon for Halloween?
Now if you really want to be challenged this year, save a pumpkin and carve your spooky masterpiece into a watermelon instead.
To get started, consider these carving tips and tricks:
- To make cutting and slicing easier, the watermelon should be at room temperate when carving.
- Cut a small, thin, flat piece from the bottom of the watermelon to provide a stable base for carving.
- Draw the design on the watermelon rind with a dry-erase marker before cutting. If you make a mistake, this can make it easier to wipe off.
- Use a sharp knife with a pointed tip for easier, cleaner cuts. Consider a paring knife with a smaller tip for ease of detail.
- Blend scraps of watermelon that are too messy for dicing or slicing to create an easy juice.

Oil prices eased early in Asia as crude output rises in virtually every major export region despite plans by OPEC and Russia to cut production, triggering fears that a fuel glut that has dogged markets for over two years might last well into 2017.
International Brent crude oil futures were trading at $54.55 per barrel at 0128 GMT, down 39 cents, or 0.7 percent, from their last close.
U.S. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude futures were at $51.32 a barrel, down 47 cents, or 0.9 percent.
Traders said the price falls were due to rising output from within the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) and Russia.
OPEC's oil output set another record high in November, rising to 34.19 million barrels per day (bpd) in November from 33.82 million bpd in October, according to a survey based on shipping data and information from industry sources.
Russia on Friday reported average daily oil production of 11.21 million bpd for November – its highest in almost 30 years.
That means that OPEC and Russia alone produced almost half of global oil demand, which stands just above 95 million bpd.
The news came just days after OPEC and Russia agreed an historic deal to cut output in 2017, triggering a more than 10 percent rise in prices, in a bid to end a fuel supply overhang that has dogged markets for over two years.
In a further sign that the fight for market share is not over – especially in Asia, the world's biggest consumer region – Saudi Aramco cut the January price for its Arab Light grade for Asian customers by $1.20 a barrel versus December.
Despite these developments, analysts said prices were unlikely to tumble back to levels before last week's deal announcements.
"Other than a complete deal collapse, we don't see many catalysts to reverse the recent rally," U.S. bank Morgan Stanley said, adding that "a greater shift towards bullish positioning" was, in fact, pointing towards higher prices.

i am looking on how to get my CPU working at the most optimum way, and all i get is an answer about a GPU? really????
can somebody help me with this?
here is my question and their answer, a total fail:
My question:
i have this CPU: AMD A10-7870K Radeon R7, 12 Compute Cores 4C+8G What driver do i have to install on my PC to make this one run optimal? My specs are: Motherboard: Gigabyte F2A88XM-D3HP CPU: AMD A10-7870K Radeon R7, 12 Compute Cores 4C+8G RAM 16GB HDD: 250 SSD/ 1 GB HDD/ 500 GB HDD Operating System: Windows 10 HOME 64bit Graphicscard: NVidia GeForce GTX 750 Ti 2 GB (But soon the 1050 Ti 4GB)
Their answer:
Thank you for your Email.
I understand that you are looking to update A10-7870K APU integrated R7 graphics on your PC.
I believe that you might be connecting your display (Monitor/HDTV) to dedicated NVidia GPU not to the MB onboard port. So there is no requirement to install the R7 graphics on your PC.
If you still insist to download the drivers then you have to connect your display to MB onboard port and install the drivers.
As this integrated R7 graphics is not powerful as dedicated video card.
Thank you for contacting AMD
In order to update this service request, please respond, leaving the service request reference intact.
Best regards,
AMD Global Customer Care
Can somebody get me the right answer please? ty

In our previous post we suggested that Jim Perrin might not have been with our sister on Tuesday, May 10th, the day before she died. What other circumstance, we wonder, could have caused him to have written of the last day of her life so dismissively — in so far as it was, for all his pathos, entirely imagined. 'By the next afternoon [the Tuesday in question] she was scarcely coherent.' We knew that Jac was being given morphine to alleviate her pain but she was, and quite contrary to what Jim Perrin so dishonestly wrote, sufficiently 'coherent' to make a phone call herself to her daughter that same afternoon, when they shared their last conversation…
Later our niece told us Jac, in their conversation, had said Jim Perrin was not there with her at the hospital — and so jealously did he guard the time he chose to spend with her, so controlling was he to the last, he would not have countenanced any phone call had he been there. (And when her daughter had visited Jac he pressured her to leave each time the visit to her mother coincided with his own. She was terribly hurt by this and given the gravity of Jac's condition and her own youth, and the particularly strong and loving bond between them, we think Jim Perrin's behaviour was — as so often — indefensible.)
In the course of our own conversations with Jac we had noticed that she was sometimes affected by the morphine which had been administered — and certainly the majority of our calls were made in the evening/night-time when it was natural that she would be sleepy; but on the day, Tuesday, which Jim Perrin described, although she may well have been mazy with her medication, and weary, rather than 'slipping into sleep and beyond that deep unconsciousness', leading — as he wrote — to her death, we know that after some refreshment and a period of rest she revived and was able to telephone her daughter.
And fully 'conscious' (quite contrary to what Jim Perrin wrote in West), after speaking with her daughter, she was speaking at length with two of her sisters and with her 'first love' (the father of her first-born child). These phone calls in total lasted several hours — from early evening until late — and, as we said before, she telephoned her daughter that very afternoon: also, one of her closest friends visited her that evening and later she described to us how, as she was leaving, Jac went with her to the corridor where they kissed as they parted. These are the details which WE know of Jac's last Tuesday, apart from the on-going hospital routine of meals and her exchanges with her nurses and any necessary medical attention: therefore, Jim Perrin's descriptions of Jac being 'scarcely coherent', leading to her unconsciousness and death, were completely untrue.
* * * * *
When our sister was so gravely ill and with every moment of remaining life precious how dared Jim Perrin write of her final day as he did? We feel that, effectively, he stole it from her. In the interest of his own indulgent tale (where he is always the focal point) he airbrushed the hours she had left to her: hours in which she had actually spoken with some of those whom she most dearly loved and who, with their support and expressions of their love for her, were able to calm her. It is clear that Jim Perrin, for all his false and subsequent 'so-sensitive' words, was absolutely not one of those…
Jac had telephoned her daughter and spoken with her at length, as well as having, later in the evening, talked with her sisters, and with the friend who visited her: and much later (and it was to be the last conversation in her life apart from with those who were nursing her) she and her very first partner had a long and deeply intimate conversation, which apart from her other calls that day and evening, lasted well over an extra hour and a half.
It is he, 'her 'first love', more than any other, who has shared Jac's life's most lasting sorrow: and, as well, he was acutely aware of the distress she had been suffering in her relationship with Jim Perrin (he knew him of old) because in the preceding months they had discussed it at length. Now however, this time was theirs' — their lives coming to full-circle. They spoke of the love which had lasted since they were young; of those years in which they had been so joyous; and of the years between when although loving and making their lives with other partners their love for each other, albeit changed by time, was constant: they spoke of their lost child… So it was that Jac's 'first love' was able to console her, and with his gentle Buddhist belief to reassure her and to assuage her fears and it was he, not Jim Perrin, who as Jac approached those final hours was speaking lovingly to her and who soothed her.
We have always felt that among so many other base betrayals by Jim Perrin, in this he surpassed himself: to have left our sister entirely alone when she had so little time to live; deserting her as she lay dying and thus being absent from her bedside when within only hours she slipped away from life… that is the measure of the man.
* * * * *
Jim Perrin was entirely unaware of Jac's conversations, instead untruthfully stating she was unconscious: he had chosen to leave her, on her own, before they had taken place: and he could have had no knowledge at all of Jac's conversation with her 'first love', until he read our record on this site. Subsequently, by talking with her family, he garnered as many details as he could and combining them with his own (many faux) recollections he purported to describe Jac's last hours in West — apparently so convincingly — as if he had been with her throughout. It was nothing less than the utmost chicanery.
Did he feel sadness for a while? — he certainly displayed publicly a self-consciously passionate although short-lived grief. And 'short-lived' it proved to be as he very quickly reorganised his life*. Later, describing in West his new house, he wrote: 'I moved in on the first anniversary of Jac's funeral', neglecting to reveal of course that it was not on his own ('I') that he moved in but with his most recent partner at the time (since when he has had several others) and with her funds…
Jac's sisters.
* Here we will quote Jim Perrin quoting Thomas Hardy (taken from his copious notes at the end of West).
' "I shall traverse old love's domain/ never again — at Castle Boterel," He did, of course, with his second wife Florence Emily, and rather promptly at that.' (Our italics.)
Jim Perrin's emphasis here is a snide swipe yet the presumably unintentional irony of his choice of this passage when his own lamentable history of 'relationships' is considered is remarkable. He very quickly moved on, was involved with another young woman from whom he separated, and was living with a second both within a year of our sister's funeral…
