*Anna and the King (PG-13)
Fox Pictures
During the holidays, I can feel logistics getting the better of me. Between work and family and the usual home duties like getting the laundry done, I don't have the wherewithal to even think about one more thing.
That's why I have a normal job in a normal suburb in normal U.S.A. If I had epic vision and the organizational powers of the United Nations I might, instead, be Andy Tennant, the director of Anna and the King. So help me, as scene after scene of great beauty and organizational complexity unfolded in this film, I kept thinking "How did they get all those people to stand in front of that antique ship?" or "Where did they find all those elephants and elephant drivers?" or "How could they have commissioned so many gorgeous costumes?"
If you're not so obsessed with organization as I, you might just kick back and enjoy this retelling of the story of Anna Leonowens (Jodie Foster), a British widow employed as an English teacher to King Mongkut (Chow Yun-Fat) of Thailand in the 1860s.
Unlike the 1956 Rodgers and Hammerstein musical, The King and I, this retelling of Leonowen's story is rather serious in its treatment of the political circumstances in Siam, the consequences of colonialism (including on the colonizers), and the relationships between Asia and the British during the age of British expansion.
Jodie Foster has been criticized for a rather dour performance, but I thought her work was subtle and well informed. In the age of hoop skirts, white gloves and class ossification, British women, especially widows having to make their own way in the world, were rarely encouraged to engage in great jollity. Foster's now slightly lined face and bright blue eyes are perfectly mesmerizing as she struggles with the clash of cultures, and sometimes loses.
Acting opposite Chow Yun-Fat must have been a great pleasure, for the man is not only easy on the eyes but has a wonderful command of facial expression that underscores the trials of an intelligent, regal ruler struggling to keep his country out of the hands of foreign domination.
Don't mistake Anna and the King for real history, however. As with most historical fiction, there's plenty of history in the fiction, and plenty of fiction in the history as well. No matter. If you're going to the film to try to learn the true history of 19th century Thailand, you'll come out with the kind of half truths engendered by diarists and screenwriters. Go instead to be captivated by the kind of spectacle that Hollywood alone can create, the organizational and visual feats of lush scenery, beautiful costuming, and good special effects, and you won't be disappointed.

Today has been a day of smells.
And smells the kind I love: FOOD!
It was coming on for a bit, actually. Yesterday, someone said 'biryani' and instantly, I was swamped by that exquisite blend of uniquely Indian smells that make that dish food for the Gods! And me.
After biryani, the brew. Later in the evening, another colleague said something about grabbing a coffee and instantly I could smell the aroma of coffee – grinding (my grandmother used to do it at home), brewing, boiling, bubbling over, frothing! Aaaaaahhhh!
I'm not sure about this, but there is supposed to be a Starbucks study which indicates that 90 odd percentage of coffee drinkers hit the cup for the smell and they can't actually stand the taste!
But that was not all. The assault of Smells had just begun for me.
Last night I could smell coke. Well, i mean Coca Cola- the coldness, the freshness, the fizz. That's a new one, even for me! And then, I could imagine cold coke trickle down my throat – The agony and the ecstacy!
Synaesthesia. That's what it is. When one sensory perception leads to another, the second without any independent external stimulus. Like I smell non-existent coke and feel it trickling down my throat…Prof.V.S.Ramachandran, Director of the Center for Brain and Cognition and Professor of Neurosciences and Psychology at the University of California , San Diego, of course says it much better.
But back to where we began.
Today, the smell business got really serious. I was getting back to office after a rather hard day on the field- speaking to medics, one after the other, about illness and disease can be quite tiresome. But let me not get into that trip now. Saving that post for a rainy day!
Now, where was I? Ah! Smell. I was driving back through Peter's Road and right bang in the middle of Royapettah, I was assailed by the smell of frying food- samosas, maybe pakoras, maybe cutlets, even oily bajjis. These smells began as a mere wisp, wafting past, and then swirled around me, slowly surrounding me, envelopping me – wholly!
The smell carried me until the General Patters Road -Mount Road junction, after which the aroma from Buharis took over! This one brought up visions of some pleasant subzi-gravy and piping hot tandoori rotis, layery parottas.
I guess all this is still within the realms of what any person, mildly sensitive to pleasant smells can feel on an extra sensitive day. You know when I was tempted to think I have ESP- extra sensory perception, when I knew the smell monster had taken me over – wholly?
When I opened a box of idlies, took a deep breath and then forgot to breathe out…

Media companies posted reports for the third quarter, blaming the glum outcomes on the economy and the effects of the Sept. 11 attacks. Dow Jones & Co. posted $397.6 million in revenue for the quarter ended Sept. 30, 20.5% below the same period last year, and earnings of 20 cents per share, 63.6% below the 55 cents in the third quarter of 2000. For the first nine months, Dow Jones' revenue was $1.34 billion, compared with $1.64 billion in 2000 and net income was $66.1 million, down from $155.3 million in 2000. Advertising revenue dropped to $220.5 million in the quarter, led by a drop of 41.2% in advertising lineage at The Wall Street Journal, 46.8% in September alone. Dow Jones executives warned that lineage at the Journal is expected to be down 35% to 45% in the fourth quarter. E.W. Scripps Co. reported operating revenue of $342.1 million for the quarter, and net income of $22.63 million, drops of 16.5% and 36.2%, respectively, from the same period last year, due to weak advertising revenue at its newspapers and broadcast TV stations. A 15.6% increase in revenue at its cable networks, which include The Food Network and Home & Garden Television, was not enough to counter flat revenue for its newspaper operations and a 23.4% drop in revenue at its TV stations. General Electric Co., parent of the NBC network, reported revenue of $29.5 billion, up 7% over third quarter 2000, and earnings of $3.3 billion, up 3% in spite of $400 million in insurance losses related to the Sept. 11 attacks. NBC's revenue was down 45% for the quarter to $1.1 billion, but profits were down only 13% to $255 million.
Online sees continued decline in third quarter
Third-quarter results reported by three companies involved in online advertising showed a continued decline in the already-troubled sector. New York-based online ad solutions company DoubleClick reported revenue of $92.7 million, a decrease of 31% over the same period last year. Hardest hit was the company's global media unit, which saw revenue decline to $22.2 million, down 65% compared with the third quarter of 2000. The company had a net loss of $103.5 million as compared with a net loss of $10.7 million for the same period last year. However, the company is continuing to use the downturn to negotiate inexpensive acquisitions. Digitas, a Boston-based i-shop, also reported substantially lower revenue and announced major cost-cutting, laying off approximately 325 people or 20% of its staff. The company, which has been doing better than most of its competitors, missed estimates, posting a net loss for the quarter of $44.8 million, or 75 cents per share, compared with $4.9 million, or 9 cents per share, during the same period last year. The company had revenue for the quarter of $51 million, compared with $75.5 million for the third quarter of 2000. In addition, Yahoo! reported revenue declines both quarter-to-quarter and year-on-year (See story, P. 40).
Ziff Davis closes magazine, Primedia lays off staffers
On October 11, Ziff Davis Media shuttered its yearling Expedia Travels magazine. The move will affect about 20 employees. A spokeswoman, borrowing a phrase from Editor Gary Walther, blamed the shutdown on a "perfect storm" of negative market events: the collapse in the dot-com economy, the overall ad slowdown, and the fallout from the events of Sept. 11. The every-other-monthly Expedia Travels launched with a November-December 2000 issue. Earlier this week new Chairman-CEO Bob Callahan sold the company's half-interest in the parent company of MacWorld magazine, Mac Publishing LLC, to International Data Group, which owned the other half of that company. Separately, Primedia laid off about 20 staffers at four teen-related titles-Bop, Tiger Beat, Teen Beat and 16-and moved their operations from Manhattan to Los Angeles. The monthly titles among them will now become quarterlies and be handled by the edit staff of its recent acquisition, Teen.
Williams starts as CEO within Omnicom Group
Having thwarted a lawsuit by his former employer, Brian Williams formally started as CEO of a yet-to-be-named ad agency within Omnicom Group to handle the PepsiCo-owned Quaker Oats Co., Gatorade and Aquafina accounts. Interpublic Group of Cos. on Oct. 5 dropped its lawsuit against Mr. Williams, DDB Worldwide and Omnicom after a Cook County Circuit Court judge denied Interpublic's motion for a temporary restraining order against them. Last month, PepsiCo pulled an estimated $350 million of business out of Foote, Cone & Belding Worldwide, Chicago, because the agency's parent company, Interpublic, is closely affiliated with archrival Coca-Cola Co. Mr. Williams resigned as president of FCB, Chicago, after Quaker asked him to lead the new agency at Omnicom. Mr. Williams is still working out the details of the new agency and expects to have more information by the end of October. Mr. Williams confirmed that Martin Sherrod and John Fraser, FCB's top account leaders on Quaker and Gatorade, were joining his agency. The two resigned from FCB Sept. 27.
PIB numbers show no turnaround for ad slump
Though the ad fallout of Sept. 11 is not yet fully known, the latest ad page figures from the Publishers Information Bureau show that this year's ad downturn showed no signs of turnaround in September. For just the month of September, ad pages dropped 9.9% compared with 2000. For January-September 2001, ad pages dropped 9.2%. Technology, last year's largest ad category, was off 30.8% through September, and ad pages in this year's largest category, automotive, fell 9%.
Terrorism fears affect American Media, Vibe/Spin
The tragic anthrax contamination of American Media's Boca Raton offices took a bizarre turn last week, as panicked consumers, terrified they may contract the disease from the company's tabloids, flooded supermarkets with calls. Such concerns prompted David Pecker, American Media's CEO, to get the Centers for Disease Control to issue a statement assuring consumers such fears were groundless. In early October, an American Media photo editor died from the disease and two more employees tested positive for the spores last week. Separately, New York-based staffers for Vibe and Spin magazines, published by Vibe/Spin Ventures, were phoned at home on the evening of Oct. 10 and told not to come to work on Oct. 11, owing to concerns of possible terrorist actions in Manhattan on the one-month anniversary of the attacks on America.
Procter & Gamble Co. has agreed to sell its Jif and Crisco brands to J.M. Smucker Co. in a tax-free stock deal valued at around $1 billion. ... As expected, Publicis Groupe's Fallon Worldwide and its Duffy Design unit will open three creative offices in Singapore, Hong Kong and Sao Paulo, Brazil, by January 2002 to service its United Airlines and Timberland accounts, among others. ... The California Department of Consumer Affairs has awarded the state's $45 million energy conservation account to incumbent Grey Global Group's Grey Worldwide, Los Angeles. ... Nestle last week said it would shift its agency compensation structure in the U.S. from a system based on commissions of its total ad spending to one based on hours spent developing advertising and bonuses paid for campaigns that succeed in building market share and/or sales. Nestle spent $346 million on measured media in 2000, per Taylor Nelson & Sofres' CMR.

Time Trends in First Episode Genital HSV infections in an Urban STD Clinic
Dabestani, Nazila Melika
MetadataShow full item record
Background: Genital HSV-1 has emerged as a more common cause of first episode genital herpes in the last few decades. We examined trends in etiology of first episode genital HSV infection in a 21-year period and determined risk factors for genital HSV-1 versus genital HSV-2 infection. Methods: Using an electronic database, we identified persons who visited Public Health – Seattle & King County STD Clinic from 1993 through 2014 with genital ulcers. We selected persons diagnosed with a first episode of culture positive genital HSV. Poisson regression was used to determine risk factors for first episode genital HSV-1 versus HSV-2 infection. Results: Of 52,030 patients with genital ulcers, 3,199 (6.15%) patients had culture-proven first episode genital HSV infection: 1,059 (33.1%) with HSV-1 and 2,140 (67.9%) with HSV-2. Overall, 1,213 (37.9%) patients with first episode genital HSV were women. The median age was 27 (range 13-81) years of age. 1,959 (61.2%) patients were white, and 377 (11.8%) were men who have sex with men. Over time, the number of patients with HSV-2 has declined 6% per year, from 223 in 1993 to 39 in 2014 (RR=0.94 per year, 95% CI=0.93, 0.95) while the number of patients with HSV-1 remained stable at about 50 per year (RR=1.0; 95% CI: 0.99, 1.01), resulting in an increasing proportion attributed to HSV-1 over time, from 16.9% in 1993 to 44% in 2014. Among patients with first-episode genital HSV, age <30 years (RR=1.40; 95% CI: 1.20, 1.63), white race (RR=3.03; 95% CI: 2.37, 3.87), and reporting homosexual practice (RR=1.42; 95% CI: 1.19, 1.71) were associated with genital HSV-1 infection compared with genital HSV-2 infection. Conclusions: We observed a significant decrease in first episode genital HSV-2 in the last 21 years with a stable number of first episode genital HSV-1 infections. Understanding changing epidemiology in genital HSV infection may inform prevention strategies.

"Green plumbing" is a bit of a buzz word in our industry lately. Green plumbing is a great way to minimize waste and save money, water, and energy.
What is Green Plumbing
Green plumbing modifies traditional ways of plumbing to make it more efficient, reducing water waste, and even sometimes using waste water for activities such as gardening. Reducing waste water is one of the easiest things you can to make your home more ecologically friendly. And, it can save you money.
What Can You Do?
Sinks and Showers
Sinks and showers can easily be fitted with low-flow faucets or shower-heads to reduce the amount of water used during operation. They still provide plenty of water flow for normal use. One of the largest producers of waste water is the kitchen sink, where water is left running during washing or dishes. You can install a house fitting on the sink to shut water off when the handle is released.
You can also have sensor-operated water faucets installed. These faucets reduce waste, and reduce germ transference, because they are hands-free.
One way to reduce waste water is through the use of low-flow or dual-flow toilets. Low-flow toilets can reduce water waste by up to 75 percent. Low-flow toilets became the standard when water conservation laws in the mid-nineties mandated that toilets could use no more than 1.6 gallons per flush. If your home still uses an older model, upgrade to a low-flow model to save substantial amounts of water.
If you prefer more control over how much flushing occurs per flush, consider a dual-flow toilet. Dual-flow toilets allow you to select a regular flush or a low-flush. The dual-flush toilet design can save up to 68 percent more water than a conventional low flow toilet.
Another water-saving alternative is a composting unit. Composting units do not use water at all. Instead waste is combined with sawdust, coconut coir, or peat moss to support processing. These types of toilets are often used in State Parks throughout the United States. Special installation may be required for typical home use.
Water Heaters
Traditional water heaters keep large amounts of water consistently heated in order to allows for hot water usage when necessary. They encourage water waste, waiting for hot water to run through the system and energy waste maintaining constant heat. Tankless water heaters heat water only when warm water is called upon, reducing the amount of energy used to heat water.
If you prefer keeping hot water on hand, there are alternates to traditional water heaters, such as point-of-use water heaters, which are located in specific areas where more hot water may be needed quickly such as bathrooms.
Another alternative is solar-powered water heaters. These reduce the amount of energy required to heat the water in the system.

Great climb through overlap!
Well worth the great moves you find on the overlap. Rob and I belayed out right at a very large block by soloing up the slab below. I ventured out to the flake and found fantastic moves on the overlap. Found the moves past the first bolt to be closer to 5.9.

Miami Dolphins vs. New England Patriots Pick-Odds-Prediction 12/15/13
New England Patriots (10-3) at Miami Dolphins (7-6)
NFL Football: Sunday, December 15, 2013 at 1:00 pm (Sun Life Stadium)
The Line: Miami Dolphins +3 -- Over/Under: 45.5 See the Latest Odds
The New England Patriots travel down to Miami to play the Dolphins on Sunday.
New England improved to 10-3 on the season after beating the Cleveland Browns 27-26 last weekend. The Patriots gained 484 yards against the Browns, with 397 coming thru the air. Tom Brady threw two touchdown passes in the final minute to help the Patriots come from behind to beat the Browns, despite losing Rob Gronkowski to a leg injury. Brady completed 32 of 52 passes for 418 yards with 2 touchdowns and 1 interception. Brady was sacked 4 times, while the Patriots only managed to sack Cleveland's Jason Campbell once in the win. New England allowed the Browns to gain 494 total yards, as Campbell picked apart the Patriots secondary on Sunday. This year, no matter what personnel is on the field the Patriots have a way of winning games, even though it may not look pretty all the time. The Patriots have now won three straight after losing at Carolina back in mid-November. New England won four straight to begin the season, and lost two out of their next three before winning five of their last six games. New England will have to adjust back to life without Gronkowski and head out on the road where they are 3-3 on the year.
Stew Milne-USA TODAY Sports
The Miami Dolphins improved to 7-6 on the year after beating the Pittsburgh Steelers 34-28 last weekend. The Dolphins gained 360 total yards with 181 coming on the ground. QB Tannehill completed 20 of 33 passes for 200 yards with 3 touchdowns and 1 interception. RB Thomas rushed 16 times for 105 yards and a score. TE Clay caught 7 balls for 97 yards and 2 touchdowns for the Dolphins, who have fought through some drama in the last two months and didn't let a few snowflakes stand in their way on Sunday. The Dolphins defense allowed 412 yards against the Steelers, but they were able to force one turnover and sack Roethlisberger 3 times. Miami blew a pair of second-half leads but improved to 3-1 in its last four games. Heady territory for an organization reeling a month ago after a bullying accusation against offensive lineman Richie Incognito by Jonathan Martin that threatened to rip the locker room apart. The Dolphins are playing some of their best football as they chase a wild-card berth. They will play two of their last three regular season games at home, where they are 3-3 on the year.
New England has won the last 7 games against Miami, including at 10-point win at home back in October. New England has not looked sharp over the past month, needing some second-half comebacks to get their last three wins. Miami is a team on a mission that would love to steal a wild-card spot this year. The Patriots will be without Gronkowski and their defense has struggled at times this season. I think Miami has a chance to win this game outright and I'm going to take the points with the home team.
