Opening this Saturday at the GableStage at the Biltmore, and running through August 7, the provocative and explosive stage play Masked is a candid depiction of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. In a village on the West Bank, three Palestinian brothers are torn between their obligations to family, ideology, and survival as they wrestle with the life-and-death decision to either join the Palestinian resistance, reject it, or flee altogether.
As with any story or film delving in this volatile topic, Masked is controversial. But it seeks to start open-minded dialogue about its subject matter much like our Top Ten Films about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict have done. Some are controversial, others lighthearted, but all get people talking about an important issue:
10. Hanna K. (1983)

Hannah Kaufman is an American-Jewish lawyer appointed to defend a Palestinian man accused of terrorism. At the time of its release, the film was widely ignored because of its contentious subject matter. Hannah, who is a child of Holocaust survivors, argues that Israel's policies on Arab refugees are responsible for the crimes her client is accused of. She presents a case that her client would continually sneak into Israel not to perpetrate acts of terrorism, but to reclaim his home, illegally seized by the Israeli government. Not the best film regarding the political strife in the Middle East (the movie drags during certain parts, and the characters are seriously one-dimensional), Hanna K. is nonetheless something of a bold effort with its timely and divisive themes.
9. David & Fatima (2008)
David & Fatima is basically Romeo & Juliet, but with a Jew and a Muslim. David, the handsome Israeli Jew, falls in love with Fatima, the beautiful Palestinian Muslim. Of course, their love is forbidden, and so the romance must be kept a secret from friends and family. Things get violent when their secret is out, and the two are forced to risk it all to be together. While the plot is cliché and sappy, the film works thanks to an engrossing script, great performances and the timely political commentary. The film delves in hope, and visits the perpetual themes of love and acceptance, but is honest in its portrayal of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
8. Beyond The Walls (1984)
7. Time of Favor (2000)
A rabbi's bold plan and a complex love-triangle plays out with a terrorist in Israel's West Bank as the backdrop. Time of Favor tells the tale of Rabbi Melzter's movement to pray at the temple mount while he tries to play matchmaker with his daughter Pini and his yeshiva's star pupil. Winner of six Israeli Oscars, including Best Picture, Best Actor, and Best Actress, the film explores the volatile nature of relationships when they are mixed with religious zeal and military duty.
6. Ajami (2009)
Five different stories based in the Ajami neighborhood of Jaffa where Arabs, Palestinians, Jews, and Christians all reside are explored in non-linear fashion. There's Israeli Arab Omar, who is in love with a Christian girl and struggles to protect his family from a violent gang. Malek, an illegal Palestinian, works odd jobs to earn money for his mother's operation. There's also Israeli cop Dando, who diligently searches for his missing brother who may have been killed by Palestinians, while Binji is outcast by friends and family for associating with an Israeli girl. Ajami is an electric and moving film and a testimony to the power of collaboration between Israeli and Palestinian filmmakers.
5. Munich (2005)
Eric Bana plays a former Mossad agent who is ordered to lead a small squad of assassins on a top secret mission to exact vengeance on the members of Black September, after the Palestinian terrorist group's massacre of Israeli athletes during the 1972 Munich Olympics. While the film is told mainly through the eyes of Bana's character and the Israeli government's retaliation, the film does serve as commentary at times, particularly during a scene where Bana debates the politics of the Middle East with his P.L.O. counterpart, as well as when one member of Bana's team begins to question the morality and purpose of their mission.
4. Lemon Tree (2008)
A Palestinian widow, who lives on the border between Israel and the West Bank, is suddenly forced to fight for her lemon grove when the Israeli Defense Minister moves to a house next door. The Israeli Secret Service regards the grove a threat to the Minister and his wife, and obtains permits to uproot the widow's lemon trees. Although drenched in symbolism, the film is actually based on true events. A beautifully shot and engrossing film, Lemon Tree serves as a modern parable to the conflict in the Middle East.
3. Lebanon (2009)
Four Israeli soldiers fighting in the 1982 Lebanon War inside a tank are called to clear a Lebanese area of hostile fighters. As they look to carry out their orders, the situation quickly becomes even more volatile than they expected and the soldiers soon find themselves in circumstances beyond their control. The film's bold and honest depiction of war and the tension felt throughout by the four soldiers earned Lebanon a Golden Lion Award at the 2009 Venice International Film Festival and has been called Das Boot in a tank.
2. Paradise Now (2005)
Lifelong friends Said and Khaled are recruited by an extremist group to carry out a suicide attack on civilians in Tel-Aviv. The two men are inadvertently separated at the border when Israeli border patrolmen chase them, leaving one of them to carry out the mission while wrestling with his own conscience as his friend and the extremist group try to track him down. Filled with suspenseful plot twists and outstanding performances, the emotionally charged Paradise Now was the first Palestinian film to be nominated for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film.
1. Waltz With Bashir (2008)
This animated documentary chronicles the story of Israeli 1982 Lebanon War veteran Ari Folman, and his quest to revive forgotten and suppressed memories from the conflict after he suffers recurring nightmares. Hailed as disturbingly realistic in its depictions of the war, Waltz With Bashir became the first animated film to be nominated for an Academy Award and a Golden Globe for Best Foreign Language Film (the film won the Golden Globe).
Masked opens this Saturday at GableStage at 8:00 p.m. Tickets are $47.50. Call 305-445-1119 or visit GableStage.org.

An adventurous fantasy mellow historical of Ah-rang a single ghost with ataxia who wants to know how she died and a bad tempered district magistrate who can see ghosts.
Directed by Kim Sang-ho-I
Written by Jeong Yoon-jeong
Network : MBC
With Lee Joon-ki, Sin Min-ah, Yeon Woo-jin, Hwang Bo-ra, Han Jeong-soo, Kwon O-joong,…
Wed, Thu 21:55
Broadcast starting date in Korea : 2012/07/25
Source: Hancinema
Arang (Shin Min Ah)
Shin Min Ah described her character, Arang, as a plucky, bright personality, in a departure from the typical ghost character. "She's cynical and coarse and reckless, and strong-headed to boot, but not in a hateful way; she's a lovable character. She doesn't remember who she was in her life, and struggles to get by in this world, desperately wanting to know the reason for her death."
It also seems that the ghost doesn't exactly get a free ride, despite her non-living status, because Shin describes Arang's experience as "struggling to live in this world" and fighting with other creatures over the bits of food that get thrown on the ground as a ritual to scare away ghosts. (Source: dramabeans)
Magistrate Eun-Oh (Lee Jun Ki)
Lee describes his character as a man who doggedly pursues clues about his mother's disappearance; he feels nothing in the world matters aside from that. His character as cynical and brusque on the outside, though (naturally) much warmer on the inside: "It seems like he treats people coldly, but he feels a lot of sorrow and sympathy for them; 'Eun-oh' is a three-dimensional character. At first I was drawn to him because he was a prickly type of role I haven't played before, but as I delve more into the drama, I find that he's someone I can show a lot of different sides to."

Got back from the Father's and Son's Outing this morning and thought that instead of biking out to SDRC and swimming, I would swim this morning at Layton instead. So I got there one hour before they close lap swim time. So the pressure was on to get in 3600 yards (2 miles) under that time. Here are the split times I took:
825 Yards (750 M) - 10:52 (New Personal Record)
1650 Yards (1500 M) - 21:32 (New Personal Record)
1800 Yards (1 Mile) - 23:40 (New Personal Record, but only for the next 23 minutes cause the second mile was even faster!)
3600 Yards (2 Miles) - 47:08 (New Personal Record) The last mile split was even better! 23:27!
Kicked some major butt today! At this rate, if I train hard and work, I will be able to break 20:00 in the 1500 M next year at the summer games. That would be a total dream.

All Too Familiar with the War on Drugs, Latin America Offers Advice to Africa
A reverend from Kenya, a doctor from Senegal, a psychiatrist from Tanzania, and a pharmacist from Malawi sip a cup of coca tea and munch on coca leaf cookies. This was the scene at the recent South–South Drug Policy Exchange in Bogota, a gathering of African and Latin American officials and civil society representatives to discuss the pressing issue of drug policy reform.
At the center of the war on drugs, Latin America is leading a growing international movement toward alternative drug policies based on promoting health, human rights, and proportional punishment. With a wealth of experience and innovation in the realm of drug policy reform, the region is well positioned to advise other Global South nations struggling with similar issues.
The South–South Drug Policy Exchange, part of a series of Africa–Latin America discussions organized by the Centro de Estudios de Derecho, Justicia y Sociedad (Dejusticia), aimed to blaze a new path forward for the movement. Participants surveyed the results of alternative drug policies and visited a small shop that legally sells coca-based products through an economic project created by a local indigenous community.
Experts from Mexico, Colombia, and Brazil detailed the success of new harm reduction and human rights approaches to drug policy. In return, reform-minded officials from Senegal, Kenya, Benin, Malawi, Tanzania, Ghana, and Botswana shared valuable perspectives on the public health and security challenges African nations face as a result of increased drug production, trafficking, and consumption in their region. The discussions allowed the group to identify common ground.
The two regions share many concerns. Both need a public health approach to drug policy that includes a focus on HIV and hepatitis C. There was agreement that drug policies must specifically address the needs of women and minorities, and that the chasm between the harm caused by drugs and the punishments doled out for drug crimes is far too large. In Africa especially, there was a call for more information on drug use and trafficking, with continued evaluation and monitoring.
For poorer countries, drug policy may appear less urgent than matters like disease prevention and food security. But initiatives like the South–South Exchange reveal how all these problems are interrelated. For example, injection drug use is a leading cause of Colombia's rising AIDS rates, a disease that some African nations have only recently gotten under control.
In addition, African representatives expressed concern that their continent could be on the verge of a trafficking surge, destabilizing vulnerable areas and increasing the risk of armed conflict. Initiatives like the South–South Exchange provide the opportunity to learn about proactive policies and how to avoid adopting counterproductive ones that have already proven ineffective in Latin America.
Bringing Global South countries together is an opportunity for Latin American and African officials to coordinate and strengthen shared views on the need for reform at the United Nations. These voices will come together in April 2016 during the United Nations General Assembly Special Session on Drugs, a prime opportunity to counter the idea that the war on drugs—imposed by powerful countries and enforced by United Nations conventions—is the only option. There is another way, backed by hard-won experience in Latin America, and it represents the beginning of a consensus shift, one that perhaps begins over a cup of coca tea.

This past weekend, I had the fortune of being able to attend a conference at Yale on the legacy of William F. Buckley Jr and his seminal work God and Man at Yale. Among those present were the publisher and editor-in-chief of this very magazine, as well as several luminaries in the fight against liberal academic bias (Roger Kimball, for one). These gentlemen had clear reasons for believing that the influence of liberal bias still exists, and articulated them ably.
However, while many found the attacks on academic bias edifying, they left me feeling somewhat hollow — in fact, almost inclined to defend the enterprise of academic liberal bias. This is odd, because defenses of liberal bias on college campuses are frequently the province of liberal professors trying to excuse their own intellectual laziness, or of postmodern pseudo-academics who want to deconstruct everything and leave nothing but an educational landfill behind for students. On some level, this is fortunate, because while these defenses persuade those in the academy, they also keep conservative students vigilant against the hostility of their so-called superiors.
I do not claim that intellectual bias is unavoidable, nor that it is desirable from the perspective of the liberal arts, and certainly not that it is preferable for the propagation of social justice. However, it's good for one very specific, very small group — namely, conservative students.
Cardinal John Henry Newman, in The Idea of the University (for those not in the know, this was basically God and Man at Yale Episode I: The Phantom Menace), wrote that some of the most pious bishops are educated in pagan universities while listening to pagan lecturers. This is more or less the case with conservative students who survive four years in especially liberal environments. While the quantity of conservative graduates of universities suffers as a result of this phenomenon, I believe the increase in quality more than compensates. Moreover, I believe the numbers can be made up later, for two reasons below.
First, there's the oft-cited point that conservative students at liberal universities are constantly obliged to defend their positions. This is true enough, not just because there are so many people for one to argue with of one's own age, but also because there is no junior varsity for conservatives in campus discourse. If, as a freshman just out of high school, you cannot argue with the senior who majored in queer studies for four years, you had best sit down and do your homework, because no charity will be forthcoming from such people. Not two weeks into my freshman year, I had the misfortune of being harassed by an entire group of seniors over Facebook, one of whom told me I was "ugly" and that my "writing sucked" simply because I'd had the audacity to quote Langston Hughes in support of my position. For the sake of irritating similar people, I reproduce the quote below:
They send me to sit in the kitchen when company comes
But I laugh and eat well and grow strong
Tomorrow I'll be at the table when company comes
Nobody'll dare say to me, "eat in the kitchen," then.
Besides, they'll see how beautiful I am and be ashamed.
My rude interlocutor notwithstanding, this quote's prediction was correct.
Second, liberal bias forces intellectual curiosity and irreverence upon conservative students — not just about their own ideas (though I am sure these are read with hunger), but also about the other side's. One needs to know both what they are affirming and what they are negating, and this sort of independent research makes one less naturally predisposed to accept a professor's argument on faith. This, too, reduces the effectiveness of indoctrination, especially if the professor in question lets themselves appear rattled by the one contrarian in the classroom, which too will raise questions in the minds of undecided students. Thus the conservative student becomes not merely a gadfly, but a missionary, in conditions where he must fight to be heard. Bias is dramatically more likely to produce these conditions.
Third, liberal bias hobbles the academic growth of the very students whose prejudices it seeks to reinforce. A conservative student in a liberal-dominated class must read and engage with the arguments of liberals in order to survive. Liberal students, on the other hand, need not read any of the material so long as their emotional intuitions conform to the intended message. This means that while conservatives learn what the other side is saying and how to counteract it, liberals are only trapped in an endless solipsistic exercise. Their ideas are neither reinforced nor challenged, since they have no incentive to take the initiative to reinforce them, nor will anyone but a rare conservative challenge them.
This may make the professor's job easier, but it means that the biased ideas pushed by that professor are less likely to stick. A conservative who has once refuted his professor's argument for Communism will not forget the experience. A liberal who has merely regurgitated that same argument for Communism will be more susceptible to ideas that refute such an argument in the future, because he has never had to make a principled commitment one way or the other. Were both sides forced into emotional and intellectual engagement with the material, education might get better, but it would also solidify both sides' political convictions and make everyone more intractable.
In short, in its own way, pervasive liberal bias produces small numbers of highly informed, intellectually pugnacious, and iconoclastic conservatives, and armies of unthinking, easily refuted exponents of liberalism with no connection to their convictions other than mere caprice. The end result is that liberal bias in the academy is the worst enemy of a thoughtful, educated American Left. And for that reason alone, we may bless its existence.

Handspun mallorcan sheep wool. The wool has been hand washed with natural soap. Then carded with an electric drum carder and spun with a spinningwheel. After that the yarns have been soaked and dryed.This is an exclusive selection of brown mallorcan wool.
The irregularity of the thickness makes these yarns unique pieces for crochet projects, two needles or loom.
The creation of all yarns is a slow process that cannot be rushed.
All skeins are the result of processing raw fleeces. They are brushed to remove all dirt. Then washed several times so that the fibers are clean and smooth. Carding is done very carefully so as to remove the last traces of waste.
Yarn spinning is the final process. During this phase the thickness that will be thread is chosen. Sometimes it is smooth and fine, others thick and irregular. All production is done in Mallorca (Spain), working on a little farm using recycled materials to build tools and equipment. Mu yarns is an ethical and sustainable project. The entire process is respectful with the enviroment.
Color: brown
Fiber: 100% mallorcan sheep wool.
Meterage: 53m / 57yards
: Super Bulky. 100gr
Ply: 2 ply
Yarn origin: Mallorca, Spain.

It has come time for me to take a hiatus from my blog. October is National Cybersecurity Awareness Month. I will be writing blogs and putting together letter boards to promote that at work. (Here's one I posted three years ago about cybersecurity for bloggers.) I will be speaking later in the month at a conference on Cybersecurity. As such, I find I don't have the time/energy for any additional creativity this month and need to give myself permission to breathe. Living with a chronic condition, I find it is sometimes difficult to give myself such permission.

The band shared the visual for its final new song "Levitate" on Wednesday. The track itself continues the band's commitment to reinventing rap-rock as frontman Tyler Joseph spits lyrics over psychedelic synths and drummer Josh Dun's fevered pacing.
"Levitate" and previous releases "Jumpsuit" and "Nico and the Niners" will all appear on "Trench," an album that will see Twenty One Pilots attempting to replicate the Grammy-nominated success they saw with "Blurryface," which spawned hits such as "Stressed Out" and "Ride."

I would like to add, I know not all city employees make the large pensions I've mention. I also know that some employees
need the pensions they have. But I do think some things would need to be changed.
Sara and Laurie,
I think your blog is needed in Hollywood and I would like to see more up to date comments. I've read all the comments and it seems that the residents in Hollywood all agree we need to do something with the local government.
I've been thinking about running for city commissioner and would like to share with you what I've been told by certain people who are involved in politics.
Unless I have all three unions (Police, Fire Department and City workers) behind me to run, I would not be able to get the votes I need to become a commissioner. I think the Police, Fire Department and City workers all do a great job but the unions are working for them and not concerned with how much it cost the residents in Hollywood.
I understand why unions were formed and the benefits they have for the workers, but I think somewhere along the line it has gotten out of control. Most of the employees for the city are making more money than the people who pay their salaries, the residents. I have owned my own business for years and if I do not save and invest for retirement I will not have one. Unlike the union employees who do not have to save anything because they get a pension averaging $3000.00 – $5000.00 per month for life and benefits. This amount of money is still more than the average persons salary. This is a great deal for them but not the residents. I know the commission changed some of the laws but were they enough?
The citizens of our country are always wondering why politicians have their own agenda, so it would seem. What do they expect when they are back by big corporations, big money and unions? They are not going to vote for what's best for the people, but what's best for them and the companies that invested in them. Job security is what they are looking for.
I know somewhere out there, there are politicians who really think they can make a difference for us, but they are far and to few. I am one of those people. I think we live in the best country in the world and the people have the right to have a government who is working for them not pretending too.
It's time the citizens get a government that we were promised, as Abraham Lincoln said, "That this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom — and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth." These are great words from a great man and no one should ever forget what a great country we live in.
There are a lot of other areas of wasted money that need to be addressed also, CRA, WIFI and many more.
I would love to hear from the residents of Hollywood and see what your thoughts are. I am not on any committees or have any ties to the local government whatsoever. I would just like to see if it's possible that someone who loves our city and country has a chance to be elected to do what's right for all the people and not just certain groups. My father always taught me that being a good parent isn't easy and if your kids like you all the time your not a good parent. I took this to mean, that you have to make tough decisions for the safety and well being of the person you love and sometimes you have to say NO and that does not make everyone happy all the time, but it's best in the big picture. I think this also applies to citizens in the city that are only worried about what's in it for them.
I would love to be a commissioner and do what's best for the people of Hollywood. I am honest and always go out of my way to help everyone when they need me.
Together we can take our city back………………….
What happened? Lost your voice? No comment on CRA? No Comment on Lala? LOL
Congratulations Sara and Laurie, good to see you moving to the WordPress platform. But, I am wondering if at this point in time — July 1 — you only have one item posted… Because, on the old BSO, navigation was shaky and it was not always clear how many posts there were or how to see them all. And, it appears you might — at this point in time — have the same glitch?
I am not sure if you are aware that WordPress has sidebar widgets where you can automatically provide a list your posts as clickable links, either in cloud format or list format and also show archived posts, and on an on…

Operation Pacific Fury Chapter 1
From: Admiral A.K Barr
To: Personnel of Expeditionary Group 16
We have a serious problem. The Russians have moved in and rapidly mobilized and dug into the island. The Pirate presence was swiftly eliminated thanks to the Russians which did our job for us but this has given us a concern - THEM. why are they here who knows. Every intelligence branch Washington has its fingers in is looking for answers.
For the last week, we have had to sit here with our hands shoved up our derrieres licking our wounds while a bunch of pen-pushing democrats has been trying to "negotiate" with a nation that has blatantly land grabbed this island chain for unknown purposes. Now we have been formally been petitioned by what remains of the rightful ruling body of Tanoa to intervene. I have dispatched extra ships to the region but they will require a few days to reach you. For the moment your carrier and its escort have not been attacked due to the USA being a neutral entity - until now.
We have little intel all we can assume is that they haven't been idle. They are waiting for us and they are not known to back down off of a claim like this. I would suggest you follow the leads and focus on finding information on the enemy strengths and weaknesses (see secondary).
The main objective here is to give ourselves a landing position that US Marine units can use as a staging point. Yes, marines that means vehicles if we capture these locations we can start landing armored and motorized assets to reinforce the infantry effort in future operations.

The FBI reportedly is probing the failed launch of Oregon's ObamaCare insurance exchange, joining several other agencies looking into the multimillion-dollar program that was scrapped last month.
The Oregonian and KATU first reported on the preliminary investigation. The law enforcement arm of the Department of Health and Human Services' inspector general also is involved, according to The Oregonian.
The state exchange, called Cover Oregon, stood out as perhaps the worst-run of all the ObamaCare exchanges. The state decided last month to abandon the system and default to the federally run insurance exchange, on HealthCare.gov.
The Wall Street Journal reports that the FBI has interviewed several people as part of the inquiry. The Oregonian reported that the bureau held a 90-minute meeting with a former Republican lawmaker who detailed potential wrongdoing -- including suspicions that the state showed the feds a misleading demonstration to keep money flowing.
A liberal lawmaker from Oregon is speaking out against President Barack Obama and saying he may lose his 2012 re-election bid.
During a break between town hall meetings in Eugene, Oregon, Rep. Peter DeFazio (D-Oregon) recently told KGW-TV that President Obama is "not [doing] so good."
"I think it started really with his stimulus package, which I voted against," DeFazio speculates. "And I remember the original stimulus that came out of the House would've built a lot more stuff, would've put a lot more people to work"...
Washington, DC (LifeNews.com) -- When the Clinton presidential library released papers written by Supreme Court nominee Elena Kagan last week, two of them had Kagan taking a pro-abortion position. A third shows Kagan urging former president Bill Clinton to oppose a ban on assisted suicide.
The issue of assisted suicide came up in the Clinton administration following a vote by Oregon voters to make the state the first in the nation to legalize the practice.
The Clinton administration was considering issuing a ruling saying Oregon doctors who prescribe federally controlled drugs to kill patients in assisted suicides were not violating federal law in doing so...
An Oregon teacher who announced his intention to "dismantle and demolish the Tea Party" has been placed on administrative leave until his school district finishes its investigation into whether his political activity crossed the line.
The state's Teacher Standards & Practices Commission is also conducting an investigation into Jason Levin, a media teacher at Conestoga Middle School in Beaverton.
"Jason is on paid administrative leave," Maureen Wheeler, the school district's spokeswoman, told FoxNews.com. She described the suspension as "standard practice during an internal investigation"...

I'd just like to say that since starting work in July I have biked to work 70% of all days possible, for the first 4 months I biked 4 miles one way. since moving I bike under one mile. Even with the Ct weather being less then favorable and often quite wet I save alot of aggrivation with parking. It was quicker to bike the 4 miles and get fresh air then it was to find parking. also in order to get a spot I'd have to be in by 6 AM or park well over a half mile away. now that i live within a mile it is a dream. the money I save on gas I used to buy extra beer and another bike. I think there should be alot more people biking to work. I like the OPEC trend of cutting supply and decreasing price. It works for me. On top of the coolness of parking I've yet to sit in traffic, I get prefered bike parking and I can brag to all the others that I made it throug the snow storm without any effort.
#1 top reason. Theres on such thing as late. only a flat tire! and a smile because I know I over slept.:thumbsup: ride those bike guys

This little girl came into our life by "accident" ten years ago. Sweet little Sadie. We were NOT going to get a dog. We were "just going to look" at the litter of 11 golden retriever puppies. Just looking. Yes, we took both kids with us, but we were NOT leaving with a dog.
Despite a 40 minute drive of reinforcements, "we are NOT getting a dog, we are just looking." Forget the insistence that we aren't ready, don't have, can't, shouldn't. I'm telling you, even a heart like a ten pound hammer would find a litter of brown-eyed-puppy-breathed-yipping-jumping golden retriever puppies to be kryptonite. My steely position lasted strong….for about 2.7 seconds. The kids took about 4 seconds to find THE one. We left with a puppy and my husband was grinning ear to ear. He knew it all along.
We worked hard to train her, make sure she knew she wasn't the boss and she caught on. A golden always wants to please so they are very trainable and will do just about anything that makes their owner happy. They are genetically designed as professional beggars as well and will eat nearly anything and at any time. Rocks, dirt clods, grass…you name it, they eat it.
A couple of months ago she was diagnosed with lymphoma in both kidneys and given about 6 to 8 weeks to live. We were offered the option to do chemotherapy, a treatment that lasts about 5 months, costs nearly $10,000 and results in an average of 4 to 5 months longer to live. Does that weird math escape any of you? We thought about it and decided to let her live out her days happy and stress free (well as stress free as possible since we brought ANOTHER NEW PUPPY home in this time frame). Since lymphoma is not thought to be particularly painful, she seems to do ok. Feels better some days than others, but still a sweet, sweet girl.
Despite the terrible timing of a puppy added to the mix (don't judge – have you seen a WESTIE litter…kryptonite 2), Sadie is doing ok, but she has caught on to the situation. She knows. She gets scraps more often, more treats, extra loving. If told no she gives us that, "you can't say no to a dog with cancer" look. She's been golden mind melding us since that spring day ten years ago, but is pouring it on with the "I have cancer" look. No, I'm not making it up. But I have firmly come to the conclusion that our pets let us live here because we feed them.
We are so not the boss of us.

Number of planet Earths we need
to provide resources and absorb our waste
Take a journey with us as we highlight the most amazing facts about Earth – our Home. We may be separated by countries and continents, but the whole of humanity shares a common space. A little blue ball floating in space, accompanied by its sister moon – the Earth, the 3rd planet from the Sun.
That there are 4 features that make the Earth special and unique. These 4 things are the reasons why it is able to harbor life – while other planets can't.
The Perfect Planet for Life
But what makes the Earth so amazing is that it harbors Life – Intelligent Life at that. It seem to have all the ingredients necessary for beings like us to flourish. Not just one-celled organisms, but beings that can wonder at life itself.
According to Bill Bryson in his book - A Short History of Nearly Everything:
"We may be the universe's greatest achievement and it's worth nightmare at the same time. We are so remarkably careless about looking after things, both alive and not. We have no idea, none at all, about how many things have died off or will soon die off – and what role we played in any part of the process.
We do not know when we started doing many of the things we've done, and how our present actions will affect the future exactly. What we do know is there is only one planet to do it o and only one species that can make a considerable difference."
Our Earth is really an amazing planet, more so because it has you and me that can talk about it and wonder. It has allowed us to exist and evolve so we can have the ability to appreciate it in many ways and make it better. It's a skill that we're only starting to realize and act upon.
Read more about our amazing planet and the environmental issues plaguing it and see where you can make a difference. We are lucky to be here. It's time we showed our gratitude and take care of the Earth for a change. Visit yobet体育官网: Stories.
A little click can go a long way. And if you feel couragous, please share.

The SUN I is not only the flagship of the KNAUS fleet. It is our definition of passion and enthusiasm; of perfection and luxury. We have designed the vehicle interior in such a manner that it doesn't just meet the highest demands, it exceeds them. Beginning with the stylish floors constructed in a yacht design and including the most beautiful and luxurious ambient lights that were ever used in a mobile home: Every SUN I is full of fascination.
Is there anything better than warming up with a hot chocolate? Of course, if you're also sitting in a SUN I and casting your mind back to the day's adventures on the piste.
The full‐HD television is electrically brought up from its storage space at the touch of a button. For great entertainment and exceptional ease of use.
Broad passage or longer side bench? The armrest can adapt to your wishes.
As well as controlling the lights, monitoring the battery, and many other functions, the air‐conditioning can be split into 2 zones if correspondingly equipped in the SUN I as a particular highlight.
So refined and of such high quality, only Anton's fondue is softer. Both can find everything they need to magic up first‐class dishes.
The unique storage compartment in the double floor is not just spacious, it is also useful in electrical terms so that you can reach your vegetables more readily.
So much space for treats and thanks to double stop the door can be opened easily in both directions.
The quality fullextension slides from GRASS satisfy the most rigorous demands.
Resting on the quality EvoPore mattresses is so comfortable, that Marie and Anton could simply watch the snowflakes dance down all day long.
A touch of sunscreen on the nose, then Anton is ready, with the luxury bathroom, to shine like the sun.
The door does not just close the toilet area to the passage, but also closes the entire bathroom to the living area. Greater privacy or mobility, whatever you prefer.
So that your hand towels have their place and are still dried out.
If the door is closed to the passage then the result is a particularly spacious bathroom that leaves nothing to be desired and also gives you maximum freedom of movement.
You would like to be even more beautiful and comfortable? Extend the comfort of your motorhome with the cozy pillows, blankets and table runners from our COZY HOME package.

I know some people who spend their time worrying about the weather and the moon phases. They think (and talk) about wind direction and water levels and water clarity. They organize their tackle boxes by color, weight, diving depth, brand, or whatever else. Their rods and reels are matched, maintained and oiled. And they could tell you the retrieve speed of all their reels and how many ball bearings they all have. Their coffee tables are covered in editions of BASS Magazine, and they always have a fishing forum open on their computer. You could eat off the floor of their bass boats, but they don't allow their guests to bring food in them because of the crumb risk.
Watch this old SNL video. It's hilarious.
Here's the thing, though. They never actually go fishing. And when they do, they usually come home with some sort of overanalyzed excuse about why the fish weren't biting. I know that you know people like this. They are more planners than doers.
It isn't just in fishing that you find these type of people of course. That just happens to be one of my sports of choice and it makes the title funny.
This reminds me of those in business world who focus on rules, procedures and protocols instead of free thinking and creative problem solving. These people are usually employees, not business owners. When they are business owners, they do better as franchisees, since there is a set framework.
Being Anal Retentive, as Freud characterised it, or having mild Obsessive-Compulsive Personality Disorder (OCPD, not OCD) isn't always bad for business. We may even desire these traits in some professionals. Computer programmers, engineers, and actuaries need to be precise.
What about consultants, designers, salespeople, and doctors? Would you prefer these people to be free thinking problem solvers, or rule followers? Your opinions on this probably vary. I would say that it could be situational, but flexibility is a nice skill to have when things don't line up perfectly.
Right or wrong, I happen to enjoy working and fishing with people who just push through the problems and make it happen.

With 12 children you have to be organized to survive.
With 12 growing children you have to have snacks.
With 12 children sometimes the snacks disappear before some children get a chance to have their share.
From those circumstances we came up with this concept.
They get their own box and enough snacks to last a couple of weeks. They get one snack a day (ideally) but if they run out before the allotted time is up - oh well. They just have to do without until snack refill time.
So far it has worked out. They even came up with a snack swap since they do have their own preferences and tastes. So far, so good.
Until next time...

Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer today appointed Satya Nadella as president of the company's lucrative Server and Tools Business, filling a spot vacated last month by Bob Muglia.
Nadella, who most recently was senior vice president for engineering in the Online Services Division, is a 19-year Microsoft veteran. He was instrumental in Bing, MSN and the Yahoo search partnership, and previously led the company's Dynamics CRM and ERP business.
As president of the STB, Nadella is in charge of a division that brings in $15 billion in annual revenue — one of Microsoft's main money engines. The division creates products such as Windows Server, SQL Server, Visual Studio, System Center and the Windows Azure cloud-computing platform.
"We're already making strong traction across our Server and Tools Business by embracing cloud services," Ballmer said in an announcement. "Satya has deep experience in both our server business and online services, which will help accelerate our momentum while setting the course to deliver the cloud computing scenarios of the future."
On Jan. 10, Ballmer shocked Microsoft outsiders and insiders alike with the announcement that Muglia, who had led STB for two years, would be leaving this summer. In an e-mail to employees, Ballmer declared, "I have decided that now is the time to put new leadership in place for STB."
Muglia's was the fifth high-level executive departure within 14 months and the seventh within two years. More about Microsoft's recent "executive exodus" can be read here.
Microsoft said Muglia will be working with Nadella to ensure a smooth transition.
"Our Server and Tools Business is one of the fastest growing and most profitable businesses at Microsoft," Nadella said in the company's announcement. "I see great opportunity for Microsoft to grow the business and also lead the way in the transformation of enterprise IT. I'm excited to work with such a high-caliber team to chart the path for our continued success today and growth in the future."
Read both Ballmer's and Nadella's e-mails to Microsoft employees.

Comment: The road to outstandingJanuary 14, 2018, 3:40 pm GMT
School inspections are an integral part of achieving the UAE's Vision 2021 with respect to high quality education. The National Inspection Framework itself is a testament to the country's commitment to putting in place a robust system for on-going school improvement. However, the reality is that to date, only 17% of schools have achieved a ranking of Outstanding. This means at least three things: 1. Achieving outstanding is possible, 2. Models of excellence exist that can benefit the rest, and 3. There are a lot of schools that need to improve before 2021.
In February 2017, Abu Dhabi University Knowledge Group's (ADUKG) education division published a white paper entitled Road to Outstanding. The publication qualitatively describes best practices in Dubai and Abu Dhabi's Outstanding-ranked schools. Through a detailed analysis of school inspection reports, the publication serves as a guide to struggling schools of what outstanding schools do right.
The following highlights provide a summary of seven key findings that differentiate an Outstanding school from others:
Deeply Self-Reflective
Outstanding schools are described in the inspection reports as being deeply self-reflective and highly attuned to their school's needs. For example, outstanding school principals interviewed during this study acknowledged that by their own personal assessment, their school has much to improve to be truly outstanding. It is an ethic of constant self reflection where leaders are critically aware of their own gaps, they systematically address barriers, and they encourage all stakeholders parents and students in particular to contribute constructive criticism.
Distributed Leadership
Descriptions of school leaders in outstanding schools reflect a collaborative form of leadership where each stakeholder plays a role in the success of the school including parents and students. Outstanding school principals have fostered a sense of communal responsibility, beginning with transparency and involving everyone in setting priorities and celebrating successes. Senior and middle leaders have clearly defined roles and responsibilities and all stakeholders are equally held accountable for targets and key performance indicators.
One significant point is that senior leaders trust and rely on middle leaders to play a substantial role in overseeing the quality of teaching and learning a key differentiator often lacking in low performing schools.
Infectious Positivity
There's something different about the energy in outstanding schools it's infectious. Many inspection reports cite examples of positive reinforcement like "Caught ya doin' good" instead of reprimanding misbehaviour. Students are described in the reports as empathetic, responsible, and mature initiating campaigns and taking responsibility for their own learning. But much of this comes from the mentorship and opportunities awarded to students from the leadership and teachers. Outstanding schools are described as providing opportunities for students to lead decision making and to actively partake in conflict resolution.
Vigorous Tracking of Student Progress and Attainment
Tracking attainment is a substantial part of the UAE school inspection process and outstanding schools take this part very seriously.
Outstanding schools are described as having "sophisticated systems for tracking progress", clearly communicated expectations for all teachers and students, and formative feedback is constant and individualised. Data driven instruction is more than a buzz word in outstanding schools, they have systems in place for data to be regularly gathered, analysed in small and large teams, action plans around informed decision-making for how to address gaps, and celebrations for staff and students based on achievements.
Curriculum is Diverse
What inspectors are looking for in a strong curriculum is for a school to create learning maps that illustrate how learning outcomes are going to be achieved across the school year. Outstanding schools are noted to have well planned and structured progression that a) meets the needs of their particular student demographics, and b) addresses the specific areas of under-performance identified in the previous school inspection.
A well planned curriculum also includes action plans to differentiate for gifted and talented (G&T) and special education needs (SEN) students. Lastly, with the UAE's push toward reinforcing national identity and moral education, outstanding schools map cross curricular links that are meaningful.
Teaching is dynamic
This is a foundational marker of an outstanding school. The quality of teaching and learning in outstanding schools is described as being "imaginative" and terms such as "inspiring learning environments" are written in some reports. Others state that teaching is a "dialogue, not a monologue" and overall teaching is consistently identifed as being inquiry-based, using effective open-ended questioning and collaborative problem solving.
For most outstanding schools there is mention of sharing best practices within the school, a strong professional development programme, and an on-going monitoring of good practice through professional learning communities.
Arabic and Islamic is work in progress
It was not a surprise that none of the Outstanding-rated schools have achieved excellence in Arabic and Islamic Education. Both subjects are evidently a work in progress across all schools to improve the quality of teaching and learning, increase the professional development support provided to teachers, build capacity of middle leaders to better support departmental oversight, and develop more relevant and engaging learning resources for students.
What is acknowledged in many of the inspection reports are the initiatives being put in place to improve Arabic and Islamic Education by Outstanding schools, such as sending select teachers to pursue an iPGCE and others fostering collaborations between language departments within the school.
For schools on the road to Outstanding, the findings of this report provide a roadmap on the tangible strategies and broad emphasis that some schools have focused on to achieve outstanding. As the UAE continues to strive toward education excellence, these best practices serve as positive case studies that a) mediocrity is unacceptable and b) that outstanding is possible.

Jenelle L. Handcox has been named director for the Office of Financial Aid at UNC Pembroke.
Handcox has worked in financial aid and admissions in higher education for 20 years. She comes to UNCP from Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College (ABAC), where she was director of financial aid and veteran's affairs.
Jackie Clark, vice chancellor for Enrollment Management, said Handcox's professional experience is a good fit for UNCP.
"Jenelle is a proven leader in operating a student-centered, efficient and effective Financial Aid programs," Clark said. "Her knowledge and skills are exactly what UNC Pembroke and our students need during these difficult economic times.
"Increased accountability for fiscal management and promoting student success are the hallmarks of a comprehensive financial aid program," she continued. "I am confident Jenelle will serve UNC Pembroke and our students well."
With approximately 85 percent of UNCP students receiving financial assistance of some kind, the Office of Financial Aid plays an important role for students. One of Handcox's first initiatives is to hire two new assistant directors and replace two staff positions.
"The staff and administration inside and outside the Financial Aid office are very open to new initiatives," she said. "We all recognize this is a time of change."
Technology education and improved communications with students will be critical, she said.
"Technology empowers students to work through the financial aid system online," Handcox said. "Providing improved education will help our students understand the advantages and pitfalls of financial aid."
The new director's experience in higher education will also be an important factor.
"UNCP is very similar to ABAC, where 75 percent of students receive financial aid," she said. "Like UNCP, ABAC is a regional institution that has experienced an era of growth, and like UNCP, the students are a mix of residential and commuter students."
Handcox worked 13 years at ABAC, and before that, she worked seven years at South Georgia College as director of financial aid and as an admissions counselor and recruiter. She was active in university work and with the state association for financial aid professionals.
A Georgia native, she is a graduate of the University of Georgia with a Bachelor of Business Administration degree. Handcox earned a Master of Public Administration degree from Valdosta State University.
Handcox was also active in the community with Big Brothers Big Sisters of South Georgia and Relay for Life.
"Whether it is through a church or volunteering in the community, I believe that giving back to your community is very important," she said. "I was raised in a small community where civic engagement was particularly needed and meaningful.
Handcox is enjoying the campus community at UNCP.
"One of the things students consistently identify as a critical to their success is the personal touch that comes from a caring community of faculty and staff," she said. "That is what I find at UNCP, and I hope to continue that tradition in the Office of Financial Aid."
The Office of Financial Aid may be contacted at 910.521.6255 or email@example.com or online at www.uncp.edu/fa/.

Level 2: The Practical Shaman
Prerequisite: Level 1
Instructor: Pamela Rico and Margie McMahan
Start date for the Pre-LV2 prep classes (required) is October 19, and the start date for the 18 month, 2020 LV2 Horse class is February 22.
Buffalo Group (currently in session)
The Telepathic Practicum and fees are also part of the course requirements
Level 2 (LV2): The Practical Shaman focuses on skills and techniques in core shamanism. Some of the key topics covered in Level 2 include extraction, death and dying, divination, power animal retrieval, energy filling techniques, and telepathic communication. This course fosters an understanding of shamanic principles, and advances your abilities to perform healing practices on your self, others, and the earth.
You will be drawn deeper into a community of people who have strong relationships with the spirits and are learning to strengthen that connection on behalf of healing.
In this course you will learn how to care for the soul–either for yourself or for others. As with all of LightSong's courses, Level 2 is based on the knowing that the soul constantly needs attention. You will also advance your awareness of how we lose and gain energy continually, and how to exert more control over this ebb and flow. In this way, we become healthier.
Complete healing is possible when all parts of the human experience are energetically adjusted: spirit, mind and body. Level 2 focuses on learning how to utilize the spirits and intention to bring the spirit, mind and body into energetic alignment, and how to accomplish this with others.
Jan's book, Through the Rabbit Hole: Explore and Experience the Shamanic Journey and Energy Medicine is a helpful refresher of the material and exercises presented in the Level 1 class. The basic skills presented in the class and book are greatly utilized and built upon in Level 2: The Practical Shaman.

The "Unwatch" Option
The Governor to Milton: "You kill or you die. Or you die and you kill."
Pentel Pocket Brush Pen and watercolor on 9×12″ 400 Series Strathmore hardbound sketchbook.
Ugh, I was worried that the dream Goddess would punish me with zombie dreams if I watched the season 3 finale of The Walking Dead right before going to bed last night. The Governor is one messed up unit and without spoiling the outcome, the character no longer has a shred of pathos intact after what he did in that episode. I sketched with my new Pentel Pocket Brush Pen, with which I have obviously not developed a working relationship. Rough sketch above! Need to keep sketching with it to learn its nuances.
On the subject of dreams, watching last night's show doesn't explain the dream that I did have: In it, I was a feudal Japanese house servant/wife, complete with a filthy floor, a smoky kitchen, a cranky mother-in-law and an oafish, arse-scratching husband. The family did own a beautiful exotic wood desk that had two big drawers, each of which had its own key. Needless to say, I did not possess the keys to the desk and during the dream I was intensely absorbed in fantasy about the contents of those drawers.
If I could "unwatch" last night's tv show, I would select that option. I hope the bloody mess that was The Walking Dead season closer won't enter my dreams.

Its every cat owners dread: letting their kitten outside at night for the first time. Some cat owners prefer to keep cats indoors, in fact many studies have found that indoor cats are healthier and live longer. But some cats cannot be kept in, and many pet owners buckle under the cats cries to be set free. A friend of mine recently had a bit of a scare with her 9 month old kitten, who came back into the house with a nasty gash on his stomach and bite marks on the rest of his body.
The vets conclusion was that the poor black and white kitten had been attacked by a fox. Hes on the mend now, (taking antibiotics and painkillers, and sporting the dreaded plastic con), but a little shaken up thats for sure.
Fox Cub Season
The incident did bring to light an important message that around this time of year, March/April, foxes are rearing their newly born fox cubs.
Ordinarily, foxes will completely ignore cats and dogs. Foxes avoid dogs, and many foxes are even killed by dogs. Equally, cats and foxes are about the same size, making cats quite capable of defending themselves against foxes. Because of this, foxes generally give cats a wide berth and flee when threatened by a cat.
Protecting Small Pets
However, at this time of the year, if they feel their cubs are at threat an attack may occur. With hungry fox cub mouths to feed, foxes are also on an extra vigilant hunt for small animals to prey on: this means Rabbits, Guinea Pigs, and Chickens etc. are even more vulnerable around this time of year.
If you have a boisterous kitten who does not quite know his/her limits, you may want to consider keeping him indoors for these months until the fox cubs have grown up and moved on.
If you know you have a lot of foxes in your area, you may want to consider bringing your rabbit/guinea pig hutch indoors to be 100% sure. If this is not an option, it is advisable to invest in a good quality, secure hutch with firm locks. Foxes are quite adept at opening flimsy catches on less secure hutches.
Scoot Fox Repellent
In addition, to protect smaller pets such as rabbits and guinea pigs, weve found Scoot Fox Repellent to be the most effective fox repellent on the market. Scoot is a spray that mimics fox scent marking odours to trick foxes into thinking another fox has claimed the area as their territory generally, foxes do not cross other foxes territories – so marking your garden with a fox-like scent can effectively drive foxes away.
Scoot is a patented non-toxic formula which is totally safe for use in gardens, on plants and edible crops and is humane, bio-degradable and very effective.
Keep foxes away, and keep your small pets safe.

Your last two posts have been interestingly linked by date. So while England and America were fighting it out, both were sending missionaries abroad. I think that speaks to the better side of their nature rather than the war they were undertaking.ReplyDelete
Thanks for illuminating a rather forgotten period in our history and helping us see some of the lasting results.Replies
- Larry RiedingerJune 20, 2012 at 12:18 PM
Good point about "better side of their nature." If we want to "see" God's work - it is best not to look at the roll of wealth-power, or P$W$R, in human history. Of course the winning sides all claim God for their side!Delete
But I find that looking for the work of the "still small voice" to be more revealing than national triumphalism.
I think that may be behind Tolkien having the very small Hobbits carry out the most important of tasks in Middle Earth - while the great and powerful were occupied otherwise; as observed by Elrond.
David, thanks much for posting your comments. Carey, of course, had been in India since 1793. But it is interesting that the Judsons were concerned about Carey's view on baptism and not (as far as we know) about his views concerning the fighting going on between Great Britain and the United States.Delete
You overlooked George Lisle. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Lisle_(Baptist)ReplyDeleteReplies
Blake, thanks for calling attention to an important African-American pastor and "missionary" who is not well-known at all. (His name is also spelled Liele.) While in one sense he was a missionary, he was not supported by a church or mission agency, so for that reason he is not generally considered the first American missionary.Delete
- Larry RiedingerJune 20, 2012 at 12:09 PM
Thanks for the history lesson! I recall only snippets from from my early Baptist years in the '70s.ReplyDelete
Thanks for the interesting insights into these early missionaries. I'm not sure how much I want to celebrate these congregationalist turncoats, though. :)ReplyDelete

We know that Hugh Jackman, director James Mangold and writer Michael Green are all working on the next Wolverine movie, and now we can throw another name in the mix as well – Patrick Stewart. Yes, Charles Xavier will appear in the upcoming film and not just as a cameo.
Here's what Stewart told Steve when he asked if the rumors about his involvement and the Old Man Logan story are true:
"I think what you say is true. There is a project in development. I understand that Professor Xavier will be making more than an appearance, however, and that intrigues me."
He also specifically addressed the Old Man Logan arc by joking:
"And the idea of an old Wolverine – I'm really looking forward to Hugh Jackman getting old. You know, damn him. He looks so great! So I'm hoping to see him covered in prosthetics, you know? And then he'll make me look better if that's the case."
When Blunt Talk writer/executive producer Jonathan Ames noted that he thought Wolverine doesn't age, Stewart explained:
"He's not supposed to. Unfortunately, actors do and so I think Hugh maybe has begun to get a little uncomfortable, and I know how that feels."
So now we know that Stewart is involved and it also seems like he's aware of the Old Man Logan rumor so perhaps that idea really has been discussed. It certainly would make for an interesting sendoff. The story was written by Mark Millar and takes place in a United States that's been conquered by supervillains. Logan's busy living a quieter life with his wife and kids, but when a blind Hawkeye approaches him with a job offer, Logan has to take it because he needs the cash. Clearly there's some serious ownership issues here because Fox doesn't own the rights to a number of featured characters, including Hawkeye, but perhaps that's where a character they do own the rights to, like Professor X, could step in.

I'll never take a solid piece of ground for granted again after seeing this poor Chinese girl captured on CCTV falling right through the pavement, totally disappearing into a large invisible sinkhole that had been eroded underneath.
If a taxi driver hadn't been watching at the time, do you reckon anyone else would have even noticed? The hole wasn't that big and the girl was apparently unresponsive, so who knows how long she'd have been down there. My commute home is going to be interesting one tonight, gingerly walking and avoiding cracks like a lunatic. [Reuters]

Note: This report from January 2013 is still relevant. The Dolores Park Project is now in the RFP and bidding stage, where The Department of Public Works seeks a suitable contractor to build out the plan. We will keep you informed and post when we have a firm date for groundbreaking.
The Dolores Park Renovation is nearing the end of the planning process. "We have an agreement in principle", according to Rec and Park manager for the project, Jake Gilchrist, referring to staff from Rec and Park and staff from SF Planning Department.
The final planning documents will be released in late February or early March, and construction should begin this Fall, 2013. Rec and Parks new prediction for completion is Fall 2014.
According to Rec and Park, this revised plan includes improved ADA-compliant entries and pathways, renovated sport courts (including a new multi-use court), a new operations building beneath the basketball court, 2 new restroom buildings, removal of the current operations/restroom building, proposed improvements to the MUNI tracks, safe crossing across Church Street, entirely new irrigation and drainage, new picnic areas, a completely renovated multi-use field, 2 improved dog play areas, and overall rehabilitation of the landscape. This plan will be substantially the same plan approved in the community meetings over a year ago.
Rec and Park staff will be hosting an Open House Meeting to communicate progress on the Renovation. At this meeting Rec and Park promises the community will be able to comment and ask questions of the project to Rec and Park staff. For information about the meeting or the project, please contact Jake Gilchrist at (415) 581-2561 or email@example.com.

I'm never quite sure where to fit those things in because 9 out of 10 times they have absolutely nothing to do with fashion. So… I've decided to dedicate my Saturday posts to what I'm calling Random Goodness: good things I find that I don't want to keep to myself. It could be illustrations, photography, music, design, movies or whatever happens to tickle my fancy that week. It could even be something as random as shadow puppetry.

SN 5 | EP 10 | Commitment
All-out war erupts as Chandler faces his fears and confronts the greatest threat he has ever encountered.
Available: Hulu, Amazon.com, iTunes Store, VUDU
At the helm of the USS Nathan James en route to the Arctic, Capt. Tom Chandler learns that the destroyer will be in the best possible place -- a circumstance his crew must utilize -- to save humanity from extinction. A virus has wiped out more than half the population since the ship embarked, and despite orders from the U.S. government to return, Chandler -- believing home is now a shadow of itself -- decides the safest place to develop a vaccine is at sea. That task falls mainly to virologist Dr. Rachel Scott, a civilian originally assigned to the Nathan James to study birds. "The Last Ship" is based on a novel by William Brinkley and is executive-produced by filmmaker Michael Bay ("Transformers").

Diagnoses: Bursa are small sacs that contain fluid. They are located between bones and soft tissue to provide cushion and prevent excess friction. When bursa become inflamed and irritated, the condition is referred to as bursitis. Bursitis of the hip typically occurs over a body prominence of the femur called the greater trochanter.
Symptoms: Bursitis typically causes pain on the outside of the hip directly over the bone. It can begin as a sharp and intense pain and progress into more of an ache over a greater area of the thigh. Pain is usually more intense at night and a person might have difficulty lying on the affected side. Pain may also increase while transitioning from a sitting to standing position.
Causes: Hip bursitis is most common in middle aged and elderly women. Risk factors have been associated with:
- Repetitive stress
- Leg length inequality
- Bone spurs
- Spine pathologies
- Rheumatoid Arthritis
- Trauma to Bursa
Our Physical Therapy Treatment: Treatment will be dependent on the patient and their response to exercise. Treatment might include:
- Mechanical diagnoses/treatment
- Stretching exercises
- Lower extremity strengthening exercises
- Manual mobilizations
- Rule out spine pathology
- Soft tissue mobilizations
- Task specific performance analysis
