Not sure if I have posted this before. If so, it is worthy of repeat.
Your neck. How your back arches when I kiss it. How you grind against me without thought. Without shame. Without judgement. This is pure.
Of course I want to fuck you where you stand. But there is so much more in you. I want to draw everything hidden in that little body out. To slowly wreck you, with patience.
Teeth on your neck now. I want to pick you up with them. Carry you somewhere darker. Away from all the rules and ideas. Back to who you were, before you thought about it.
Again, just cause, Fuck….
This is like my life.
We tend to think of the erotic as an easy, tantalizing sexual arousal. I speak of the erotic as the deepest life force, a force which moves us toward living in a fundamental way.

Published in Gourmet Live 05.02.12 Fine dining is about soft lighting, elegant plates, and impeccable service. But as Julia Savacool learned from leading scientists, it's about something else, too: The right tunes can make or break your dinner experience
music and dining 608 In the Mood for Food
It's 9 p.m. on a Saturday and my companion and I are tucked away at the corner table at our favorite Italian restaurant on New York's Upper East Side. We order carciofi alla Romana (grilled artichokes in olive oil and garlic) and crespelle alla Fiorentina (eggplant cannelloni filled with ricotta and spinach), which arrive bursting with flavor and demanding the presence of a classic Chianti. Presented with the dramatic flair of old-school Italian waiters, drink and food soon transport me to another place and time. Over the stereo system, emotion-filled strains of "O Sole Mio" layer in amid the clinking of silver against porcelain and glass against glass. By the time the tiramisu and cappuccinos arrive, I have completely left my New York existence behind and am fully immersed in la dolce vita. In the background, Andrea Bocelli begs us to linger a little longer with his impassioned rendition of "Con Te Partirò." "I feel like I'm back in Rome," I whisper.I'd have sworn it was the meal that whisked me away to one of my favorite cities in the world, but as it turns out, something totally unrelated to olive oil and Chianti may have been driving my dining rapture. According to a 2010 study in the journal Musicae Scientiae, playing songs related to the ethnic origins of a certain food can greatly enhance a person's preference for this type of cuisine. "Music may trigger certain memories," says study author Joanne Yeoh, PhD, a researcher of music and consumer behavior. "In other studies, I've asked people to perform mundane tasks while background music was playing. Afterward, I stop the music and ask them to think about a food they'd like to have. Most of them choose a food associated with the music." They do this despite the fact they can't recall what music was playing, adds Yeoh, indicating that music influences our dining desires in a subconscious way.
Double the Pleasure
When it comes to music and food, there's more at work than just memory recall. Researchers at McGill University in Montreal have found that when people listen to music, it activates an area of the brain responsible for the production of dopamine, the body's "feel good" chemical, which transmits signals for the body to seek out more of what is giving it pleasure. No surprise, this is the same chemical that drives people to eat more cake and have more sex. "In evolutionary terms, the purpose of dopamine is to reinforce behaviors that are highly adaptive," says study author and neuropsychologist Valorie Salimpoor, PhD. For instance, food and sex are, by necessity, pleasurable: Should humans cease to pursue either one, survival of the species would be imperiled. But music? Hardly something we think of in survival terms. "It is interesting that something as abstract as music can elicit a similar dopamine response," Salimpoor admits. In fact, study participants experienced a 6 percent to 9 percent increase in dopamine levels when listening to pleasurable music, versus a 6 percent increase associated with eating pleasurable meals. Now imagine the dopamine boost that comes from combining the two.
Restaurant Gold Mine
It's no surprise, then, that people in the food business see music as a clever tool they can employ to their advantage in numerous ways. "Using the five senses in merchandizing is a reasonably cheap way of defining who your customers are," states Paco Underhill, author of Why We Buy: The Science of Shopping. "If you can match your music to your customer, you increase her ability to identify with your brand." That brand recognition can build brand loyalty; loyalty, in turn, brings repeat customers—the gold standard all restaurants reach for. That promise explains why, although the marriage of food and music is thousands of years old, it still attracts researchers seeking to unlock the perfect formula. Scientists have probed the relationship from many angles. One study found that slower tempos can encourage diners to linger longer over their meals, ostensibly buying more items off the menu. On the other hand, up-tempo tunes tend to encourage rapid dining—not a bad trick for a maître d' trying to speed along tables during rush hour.
Finding the right balance between beats per minute, decibel level, and genre of music isn't easy—but it's critical. A recent study in the Journal of Culinary Science & Technology found that diners prefer music over silence but will quickly form an unfavorable impression of their meal if the background-music level forces them to strain to converse.
The risk of turning off customers is so great, and the potential of increasing a customer's pleasurable dining experience so high, restaurant managers have good reason to think seriously about their choice in musical selection. "What was once largely driven by intuition is now driven just as much by science and technology," notes Underhill.
Sensing a market niche in need of a leader, Allen Klevens stepped in to fill the void. "The choice of music can make or break the dining experience," believes Klevens, who formed his company, Prescriptive Music, in 1999. Today, it is the fastest-growing music-sensory branding firm, pocketing a 40 percent increase in profits in 2011 over the previous year. "Restaurant owners are realizing the right soundtrack can increase sales. There is no question that if you like the music, you will linger longer over dinner or order more drinks at the bar."
To maximize his business model, Klevens sends a team of music consultants into the restaurant space with a detailed checklist of criteria: What is the lighting like? The room shape? Decor? "The most important thing is talking to the chef," says Klevens, who counts Wolfgang Puck and the Four Seasons hotel group among his clients. "We want to understand the flavors, the subtleties of the chef's style. People talk about pairing wine with food. I think of it as music pairing." Sometimes, he adds, contrast works as well as complement: At the Beverly Hills steakhouse Cut, Klevens chose to play against the stark, modern decor with a playlist of classic rock, including Pink Floyd and Elton John.
Moreover, you need to be able to adapt your soundtrack to the time of day, day of the week, and even the type of customer you're serving at any particular meal. As part of creating a customized music plan, Klevens connects his clients' sound systems remotely to his office computers, so workers can be ready at a minute's notice to make adjustments to sound, volume, and genre.
No longer a fledgling industry, customized music is now an essential component of the high-end restaurant experience. "We can literally alter your music in a matter of minutes," Klevens reports, adding that his team does this regularly when a celeb makes a surprise visit. "If Beyoncé walks into your restaurant and you want to drop her songs in the mix every fourth track, we can do it almost instantly."
As sound technology improves, Klevens believes demand for his services will continue to grow. "Music is the butter on the bread," he says. "We're that little extra thing that makes your food taste better."

Mercato di Vetro, sbe's latest Santa Monica Italian eatery and bar exceeds expectations with its small plates with big flavors playlist by Prescriptive Music. The open Tuscany kitchen and authentic market feel cheese bar and meat counter exuberates all throughout its two levels connected by a floor-to-ceiling wine rack. The approachable, social and interactive environment is modern meets traditional.
"And everything is going to beat. And everything is going to the beat," taken from American electropop Passion Pit's Sleepyhead is exactly what will be sensed from this edgy, cool hipster playlist. Think high energy, upbeat, fast tempo bands like Night mixed in with a little bit of light Italian flavor variables. Fun, indie rock, electronic singles leave a long lasting musical appeal.
The rustic, theater-like restaurant was very much inspired by 1960 La Dolce Vita, a comedy-drama film. Taking from the old Italian film clips, the concept launched its own, An Italian Affair video. With a cigar lounge, iPad/iPhone integration, sbe's upmost award-winning dining experience and Prescriptive Music partnership, Mercato di Vetro is the only "market of glass," to check out in L.A.

Olivia k combines recycled silver and 24k gold with semi-precious stones, such as agate, amethyst, citrine, opal, kyanite and crystal quartz. By using recycled metals we reduce the demand for new gold, limiting the destructive impact of mining on global communities and the environment. Because these metals can be recycled repeatedly with no degradation in quality, they are a naturally renewable resource.
Olivia k reveals the hidden wonders of nature with understated elegance.

I just have to say how proud I am of my group in the EIP program for rocking their group project and presentation. You all represented the era of the 60's music so well! I love you all!!!
Russia has been an interesting journey so far. Very much different from Pakistan. When we got off the plane and in the Russia airport, there weren't a lot of smiles to be had. People were pushy and seemed very angry to be there. A very different cultural feeling. When saying the Russian "hello" on the street most people don't even acknowledge that you spoke and won't look you in the eye.
Before our first concert I thought, "well shit. We're prob gonna get tomatoes thrown at us with the way this is going…". But to my surprise, by the end of the show we had people clapping and dancing and loving it, even with the language barrier since most people do not speak English here. People have wanted our autographs and our pictures taken with them as well.
The difference between Russia and Pakistan is that in Pakistan they loved us before we went on the stage just because we were American and visiting their country. Also in Pakistan we were celebrities everywhere we went. And in Russia we're celebrities for a brief moment after our show and then it's over. Both have perks. And in Russia they don't love us before we go on the stage. We have to earn their love, so although they are tougher around the edges, once you win them over they are so great and so sincere. In Pakistan all they wanted to hear we're party songs and in Russia they appreciate the melodies and slower songs more, it seems.
After every show almost, we have received bouquets of flowers from members of the audience. You would almost NEVER see that in America unless it was a family member or a close friend. It has been really sweet. We've got about 9 more days left in Russia. We travel and perform almost every day so it's been intense and a little tougher to enjoy the scenery. But the weather has been beautiful. Reminds me of Oregon Summers… Ahhh. I miss home. :)
I'm really looking forward to ending in Moscow at the Jazz Fest! Should be a blast! And thanks to all of our new fans in Pakistan and Russia! We love you all! Xoxo

Wow. I can't believe We've been in Pakistan for 10 days now. We started in Karachi which is the 6th most populated city in the world. It's supposedly one of the most dangerous cities in the world but I found it interesting that we as a band had the least amount of security with us in that city. We couldn't have asked for a better team on that trip and we already miss them. That city will forever be in my heart, especially the orphanage with mentally handicapped children. SO hard to leave them!
As we continued on our journey our flight to Lahore got delayed and we hung out in the airport for 6 hrs straight. THAT has actually been the scariest part of the trip for me. There were a group of men from Afghanistan hanging at the airport staring at myself and the other girls and making us feel really uncomfortable. There was a language barrier and they all wanted picture after picture with us and kept motioning for us to touch them and got very pushy which I think would make any woman uneasy. The kicker was, all the boys were there to witness this but they just watched and then fell asleep on the benches like it was no big deal. Not cool! Lol. I even kicked Thomas at one point and when he opened his eyes I said, "how'd you sleep, BABE?" to give him the hint we wanted help and he just nodded his head and nodded off again. Dang.
We finally took off from the airport and I realized my seat number wasn't in the same row of everybody else's, go figure. So I was a little uneasy. But when I sat down I sat next to a young Pakistani man who I found out just so happened to be a pilot for the airlines so he snuck me in the cock pit on the flight and let me take a pic with the captain! I thought that was pretty cool! :) He wanted to take me to fly his private 4 seater the next day but security said no… Pickles!
When we got to Lahore the streets were nicer and it was a little more of an upscale city compared to Karchi. Still very populated but not as much. This was the trip we got to perform for colleges. Both university of central Punjab and university of Lahore were a kick ass time, but the crowd at central Punjab was so much fun! The crowd was wild! We went all up into the audience and people were screaming and going nuts. I was sweating balls that concert and dancing my ass off with the other girls. They were so much fun! And the band we collaborated with from Pakistan was amazing. They've all been amazing!
Our last city we visited was muzaffarabad. I had no idea we were visiting the most beautiful city in the world! Our hotel sat right in the middle of it all. Mountains surrounding us In every direction. The prettiest thing I've ever seen in my life. I did yoga outside every morning. I could have stayed there forever.
We actually took a day to go to the tallest peak at 28,000 feet. The roads were thin and less traveled and one wrong turn of the wheel and we were off the cliff! When we made it to the top we all frolicked around singing songs from the sound of music! Good times. :)
It is thought that no Americans besides the government has ever been where we had been. And if things don't change, likely never will. Which is such a tragedy because it is the most breathtaking experience.
There was a school of children and the top who were there on a field trip and they had never seen Americans before. They sang to us and we sang to them. It was beautiful. Then there was a group of beautiful women who we sat down with and tried to communicate with and we did. Language barrier and all. At one point a woman grabbed my hand and said, "Friendship?" and I said, "yes, friendship" it was beautiful. She held my hand and another woman held my other hand as they walked us into the shrine to pray. I will never forget that memory, and I wish everyone could have an opportunity to experience that.
Muzaffarabad is said to be one of the more conservative cities in Pakistan. They are more strict on what the women can wear and the men seem to have a greater sense of entitlement. While there we got to go to a graduation of kids who had completed and English speaking access program. Basically kids who are in poverty had applied to be a part of this program and only around 60 were selected and received scholarships to attend. It is a two year program that the US Consulate puts on to teach these children the English language to provide opportunities. To be able to speak English and to get educated is a huge deal to these kids.
Something to know about this access program for the kids is that it is very controversial for them to be attending this program. They get much criticism from their community and hear things like, "why are you working with the US?! They are the one with the drones!" it was very hard to hear their struggles with the US but they were still standing there, elated to be a part of this program and understanding that the education is so important and understanding that although the US government may be doing some things they don't agree with, that Americans as a people are good people. We're all people wanting the same things in life and just want peace and to love each other. When the children held their home flag and the American flag and then played both national anthems back to back I was fighting back the tears. What a beautiful moment.
They say that Pakistan is one of the most dangerous countries in the world. And I've been asked many times "WHY Pakistan? Why not go somewhere safer?" and the reasoning is, which I didn't understand until I got here, exactly that. That it's the most dangerous city in the world. But more so the reasoning behind that statistic.
When there is a country with as large of a population as Pakistan that is in poverty, there are bound to be safety issues. As with any largely populated area. As a whole the children are uneducated. And when you're uneducated and struggling to get by, it is easy to take the "easy" route and get into some bad things. If you're only opportunity of survival is to become a terrorist and have the other terrorists be your family then you might just choose that path because then you have a family of people who will take care of you. That's why it's so important that we are HERE in Pakistan trying to touch these children's lives and people's lives. So we can bring the message back that most people in Pakistan are just as scared of terrorists as we are and have the biggest hearts. That having peace lies within the education system. We need to care about them more than anybody else, not hate them or be afraid. Our piece in this picture as a band may seem very small to us, but it is HUGE to the lives we have touched. And with that said it has been HUGE to my life as the people of Pakistan have touched me dearly. We need to know that we as a people can change the world. We can have peace and harmony with everyone. We just have to want it and really care about the people. It's all about the individual people. All you need is love… and I love Pakistan!-Dallas Brown
Today changed my life, forever. I have been in Karachi Pakistan for the last 4 days and the people I have met have been amazing and hopefully in my life always. From the workers at the US consulate who have taken such good care of us and treated us like family-to the hotel workers, the kids, the loving people who have welcomed us here with such open arms. We've had some amazing shows that couldn't be topped where the kids were swarming the stage screaming and reaching to touch our hands and to get autographs as the press was taking pictures. Radio interviews, national tv talk show interviews, newspaper interviews, and photo shoots have been a common theme. We've been treated like Royalty here. But today was something else…
Today we went to an orphanage for mentally challenged children and actually adults too. We passed out crayons and took pictures. I had a girl come up to me and started beating on my legs like a drum and I thought it would be cool if she could try the real drums… And she killed it! She was a natural! Never had played before and did WAY better than I would have done lol. It was so sweet!
As soon as we started our set the children started to climb on stage and their spirit in their smiles went as deep as the ocean. They were so beautifully pure and could tell they were having the times of their lives. Maybe the TIME of their life. Wow. To have that effect on someone else's life. Even if just one, I have served my purpose in this world. But the opportunity for more…I hope so.
As we left the orphanage today one of the sweetest little girls who had been hopping between my arms to the other girls arms starting crying hysterically as we left… And as soon as I got in the van to go, I lost it. I too started crying hysterically. Gabe (in the band) said it was an ugly cry and referred to it as a Lucille ball cry. Rude! ;) #Buttotallyfunny (it made me crack a smile in the midst of it all)… But I was a blubbering mess. And all day I have felt on the verge of tears having to say goodbye to all of the people who have changed my life forever. I can only hope I've made a fraction of an impact on them as they have on me. It's all about the love. We are all people just wanting to love and be loved. What a fascinating world we live in.
We are now off to our next destination and are barely into this trip. Feeling so blessed to be a part of this amazing opportunity. Love to all!
-Dallas Brown

I JUST read this article after posting my response to the blog3 post about the panel of professional women. One of the comments made was how it is so ingrained that women are either a professional or a mother, but can't be both. This article is about how Modern Motherhood may undermine Women. Check it out. Most of the class we focused on what has/is happening in the US, but this new book focuses on the perspectives of women in France and their reactions to American Motherhood and what that may mean to the modern woman.

V. Special Considerations
A. Protocol-Restricted Activities
All NHPs at the institution are included in this plan unless excluded for cause by the IACUC or for health or well-being reasons by the attending veterinarian. Some research at USE requires such exclusions, including sleep and vision research in which animals are restrained in chairs for up to 4 hours a day 3 days a week when the electrical activity of the brain is monitored. The procedures for placement of electrodes are detailed in each investigator's protocol and outlined in the electrophysiology SOP. Chair restraint is discussed in the restraint SOP. When the protocol permits, these animals are pair-housed. Such animals are reintroduced to their cagemates after each period of restraint. Replacement of chair restraint with tethering is encouraged by USE and practiced by some investigators. This permits the animal to remain in its home cage but generally does not permit pair housing.
B. Exemptions from Social Housing
All animals housed in nonsocial situations require an exemption from this plan. The social housing exemptions SOP discusses each exemption.
Animals undergoing clinical treatment may be temporarily exempted from social housing at the discretion of the attending veterinarian. Such exemptions will be reviewed every 30 days, and an exemption will terminate when the animal finishes treatment. Long-term exemption from social hous-

"Excellent communication, personable and interested. Explained each step in his diagnosis and treatment. Readily suggested methods to alleviate and prevent future issues."
"This doctor gets it right every time. Goes beyond the usual perfunctory standards of many GP;s. Extremely conscientious,personable and approachable. Along with his colleague Dr Hurn, I have nothing but praise for the quality of consults at Hindmarsh Medical. "

Basically, let's talk about race and class. Let's stop buying into this narrative that our families all got here because we 'worked hard and made it to the America'. Especially since those of us who came to the US in that first wave of professional South Asian (largely Indian) immigrants largely benefited from our caste and class positions in South Asia. Our families had access to the education and capital it took to enter those professional spheres. This is not to erase the struggle and pain of immigration, but to recognize that our experience of 'desi-ness' is often very, very different from that of working-class, Dalit, and indigenous people.
Let's quit talking about our homelands like we know everything there is to know. It's easy isn't it? White people in particular will take our word as native informants. ('Oh tell me more, what's it like there?'). Our goal here is not to enable White gurls who want to do unpaid internships in Kolkatta or write the next Eat Pray Love. We have strange privileges as diasporic peoples to speak for countries we do not live in—cut it out.
We each need to do the work of recognizing for ourselves what we do or do not know about our countries of origin. The more distance we get (in geography, class, Western socialization), the less we probably get it—'it' being conditions on the ground for working-class and other oppressed peoples. We also need to do the work of reading and listening to the experiences of the very same, and understanding that our knowledge will always be incomplete and secondhand.

I can't even begin to explain how desperately I miss this place sometimes.
It feels too far away now, like something I made up. I was really annoyed by the massive amounts of picture taking that goes on while abroad, but now I'm so grateful for all those photos, because in a lot of ways, that's what's left. I miss the people, and the whole attitude, and laughing that hard, and not worrying about my future. I miss biking up to Grundtvigs and feeling such relief to be home.
It's weird to imagine how intensely I wanted to go back to the US sometime, considering that returning to my normal life was basically an inevitability. Returning to Copenhagen, and living with the people I lived with and how I lived, is totally unattainable now. There's no countdown. I'm just going to miss it a little bit forever.

Chewmasters Beef Liver Bites Freeze-Dried Dog Treats 30 30
Product is excellent and Chewy.com service fantastic My vet recommends this product because it is healthy and low calorie. And my dog loves them so much I actually searched for this product when I couldn't find it in any stores locally. I couldn't ask for anything more form a product. December 13, 2013
Chewmasters goes out of their way to help First purchased this at Costco but they stopped carrying it. Sent an email to Chewmasters in Canada that makes this and they told me that there was no-one in the States who carried it . About a month later I received an email from Chewmasters telling me that Chewy.com would be carrying this product so I put it on my calendar to check your site. It wasn't there so I set it up to check again in 2 weeks. As soon as I saw it I ordered 2 pkgs. Our dogs love it and it is a great training tool. September 29, 2013
Great treat for dogs. I have tried several Liver Treats products but this is by far the best - my dog is the proof of it! September 16, 2013
Excellent beef liver treats I usually buy the more expensive brands (Stewart- Pro Treats) due to a lack of choice but these are exactly the same, for less, especially when on sale. Got a 17.6 oz bag for $15 bucks, can't beat that! Excellent quality and lasts a long time. August 20, 2014
CHEWY LIVER BITES THESE ARE LIKE CRACK FOR GRNADDOG SAMMY, HE IS A VERY FUSSY EATER AT 93PONDS, BUT GOES CRAZY FOR THESE AND IS WILEY TRYING TO GET THEM July 14, 2014
It is the greatest This stuff is really amazing. My dogs just love it. One is a show dog and it is a great treat for the ring. I grind some up and sprinkle on there food and they eat everything. Doesn't get any better than that and it is made in the good ole USA. June 4, 2014
Great Treat!!! I used to buy Jerky Treats, but with all the controversy surrounding their safety for our pets, I decided to search for an alternative healthy treat for them. I am so glad I decided to give these treats a try, out dogs love them and they are healthy!! I will never go back to jerky again now that I found these!!!! May 26, 2014
Excellent Treat My Great Dane has a very sensitive tummy and these are one of the few treats she can tolerate. She loves them and starts drooling when she hears me getting into the bag! May 6, 2014

This blog is devoted to the band The Really Good Pot Roast.
Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
Robert Rubin - Now That You're Here
As we've teased a few times already on the blog in the past few weeks, we've been mixing away at my first solo album. Actually, we're almost done. With the finish line in sight it's time to start sharing some of the music with you folks. The album will be released August 10th and will be available as a name-your-price (Yes, that includes free) download via BandCamp. Stay tuned for further details.
The album itself is divided into 2 sections. The first half of the album is a concept EP I worked on during FAWM (February Album Writing Month) this year. These 5 tracks work together to tell the story of an evolving relationship. The EP plays as one continuous piece of music. The second half of the album consists of other songs I've written recently that I wanted to share, but are not part of a continuing story. Those songs cover important topics such as the time travel paradox and my horrible potty mouth.
Today's preview is the title track from the new album and is part of the story/EP section of the album (Hence the rather abrupt end to the track). Now That You're Here joins the story already in progress. The narrator has welcome the love of his life home but realizes that they are apart so often that it is difficult to interact directly (This is not based on personal experience. TLOTH and I both have jobs that allow us to spend lots of time together).
Hope you enjoy!

All about Asthmaby Irwin J. Polk
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
"A wonderful blessing and an invaluable aid in the understanding, treatment, and control of asthma. Should be required reading for every asthmatic". — William A. Kaloss, M.D., Pediatrician/Allergist in Private Practice, Red Bank, New Jersey
According to the U.S. Public Health Service, asthma is a serious disease that affects over 10 million adults and children in this country. It is a leading cause of schooltime absence and hospital admission in children, and is a major reason for time lost from work among adults. With a reported 5,000 asthma deaths in the United States, asthma can no longer be dismissed as a mere childhood ailment.
All About Asthma is the perfect resource for patients and their families to understand, prevent, and manage the disease. Also available in paperback, the book provides up-to-date information on the following crucial subjects:
-- the effects of asthma on children
-- the particular concerns of asthma on pregnant women
-- the problem of excess air trapped in the chest
-- the careful treatment needed for the elderly
-- the important differences and similarities between asthma and allergy
-- the traditional and alternative medications available to all asthmatics
With helpful glossaries of explanatory tables and charts, this will be an invaluable guide for patients and their families as well as for professionals in public health, pediatrics, gerontology, obstetrics, and pharmacology.
"All about Asthma: Stop Suffering and Start Living is an astute examination of a disease that persists despite the best efforts of medical science. Dr. Polk, an expert with over 40 years of experience"
All about Asthma: Stop Suffering and Start Living is an astute examination of a disease that persists despite the best efforts of medical science. Dr. Polk, an expert with over 40 years of experience treating asthma and allergic diseases, discusses important new techniques and equipment for identifying asthma and cost-effective medicines for prevention and treatment. He notes that drug companies are also evaluating new chemicals and devices for prevention and treatment of episodes of asthma. According to the author, specialists are broadening their horizons by paying closer attention to inflammation of the lungs as a prime target for asthma management. All about Asthma will be an invaluable resource that will help patients and their families understand and control this disease.

Pro Tools 11 Working With Digi002 - A Guide
Owners of both Digi002 and Digi002R were a little concerned when Avid put it in the "might work" options on their list of approved interfaces. Anyway Eric Johnson has taken the plunge with Pro Tools 11 and reports are postive, here is guide to how he got up and running! Thanks Eric, you're a star.

5 Mix Tricks That Work 95% Of The Time
Mixes are complex things and can take a long time to get right, but there are some things that will work on 95% of mixes, or put it another way here are 5 cheats for those who are just getting into mixing. I use these all the time, other people shared them with me over the years so try them and if they work for you then pass them on.
- Roll Off Guitars At 100Hz
Keep the bottom end nice and clean and leave space for the bass and kick by rolling off 100Hz hard on electric and acoustic guitars.
- Using A Loop
To stop loops fighting with other stuff, particularly when you use loops with live drums, I often roll off the top and the bottom and put a peak boost right in the middle to grunge it all up.
- Magic Bass Guitar
Simple as this… shelving boost at 100Hz then compress nice and hard.
- De-Ess Cymbals
Not a usual use for a de-esser, but if you have overheads or cymbals that are harsh then put a de-esser across them and then find a sweet spot using the frequency control and you'll get them under control.
- Use Pre-Delay Instead Of Long Reverb Times
If you want to create space with reverbs without the whole mix becoming a splashy mess, then use a longer pre-delay and a shorter decay time. So instead of using a decay time of 2.5secs, try a longer pre-delay and about a 1 second decay.
Let me know how you get on. If you have any you would like to share your own then add them in the comments.

Shop burgled of items worth 50K
Jharsuguda : Some unidentified miscreants, today had broke into Utkal Variety Store situated opposite to Gujarati M.E. School and burgled items worth Rs. 50,000 in the wee hours of Monday.
As per the police officials, the burglars had first made a hole from the back side of the wall and entered inside the shop and had taken away one Motor Pump, Ball Bearings, Brass and SS Items along with cash of Rs. 2800, altogether around items worth Rs. 50,000 had been stolen.
Nirmal Mahapatra had reached the spot along with the Forensic experts and dog squads were also called in for the investigation.
Global grinding start-ups
ICR seeks out the locations of the new finish-grinding plants and proposed new grinding station projects around the world. Large projects coming on-stream this year include Saudi Cement's new Jizan plant, Sephaku Cement's 1.4Mta Delmas grinding unit in South Africa and UltraTech's 1.6Mta expansion at Jharsuguda, India.
The need to build grinding plants does not seem to be slowing as producers see this as an opportune way to enter new markets on a permanent footing, especially after importing into the region. It is the next step and a natural progression to distributing larger amounts of cement at a more competitive price.
While grinding plants can be quicker to set up than integrated facilities they still require environmental assessments and licences, and usually take 18 months or more to be established from the moment construction begins. However, capital expenditure for such a unit is far lower than for an integrated plant.
Doctor arrested by vigilance while taking bribe
Sambalpur Vigilance P.S. Case No.15 dated.27.02.2014 U/s 7P.C. Act was registered against Dr. Debendra Naik, Surgery Specialist, District Head quarter Hospital, Jharsuguda for demand of illegal gratification of 2,000/- from the complainant Jatin Saraf of Vill- Raghunathpalli, Dist-Jharsuguda for conducting Hydrosil operation of his nephew who was admitted at Dist. Headquarters Hospital, Jharsuguda on 22.2. 2014.
In course of investigation a trap was laid on 28.2.2014 by the Vigilance Officers of Sambalpur Division. Accused Dr. Debendra Naik was caught red handed by the Vigilance Officers at Dist. Headquarters Hospital, Jharsuguda, while accepting bribe amount 2,000/- from the Complt. Mr. Saraf as per previous demand. Bribe amount 2,000/- was recovered from the pant pocket of Dr. Naik and seized in presence of witnesses. His hand & pant pocket wash gave positive chemical reaction confirming acceptance of bribe.
Air Pollution Rising in Jharsuguda
Increasing air pollution in the coal-rich district has led to increasing threat of accidents. The coal dust hinders the drivers' vision leading to accidents. District police report stated that 249 accidents cases were reported in 2013. While 98 persons died, 133 were seriously injured.
Jharsuguda has been placed at the eighth position among critically polluted districts of India. According to a survey, the district also tops in the State in spreading pollution. The measures taken by the district administration have failed to solve the problem.
Brajrajnagar MLA Anup Sai along with his supporters staged a protest on NH-49 on Thursday, demanding measures to check pollution levels. The stir was called off after Sub-Collector assured of taking corrective measures.
Seven Families Rendered Homeless in Jumbo Attack
A herd of around 30 elephants damaged houses rendering seven families homeless in Rengali block of Sambalpur district and Kolabira block of neighbouring Jharsuguda district.
With their corridor shut by boundary wall of industries in the two districts, the elephants are intruding into human habitations in search of food.
According to reports, the herd strayed into Pipalpada and Dalpatpali in Rengali block on Friday night and damaged the houses of Hrushikesh Sunani, Bighneswar Sunani, Sushama Bhanja, Santosh Bhanja and Kunduru Deep. They devoured the paddy stalks stacked in the yard near the houses besides damaging utensils, bicycles, motorcycles and domestic articles.
The villagers' efforts to chase away the herd proved futile. The homeless villagers have taken shelter in Dalpatpali Primary School.
Similar reports have also been received from Mangrapali village under Kolabira block of Jharsuguda district where the same herd damaged two houses owned by Nityanand Bag and Danara Sandha on Saturday night rendering the two families homeless.
Sources said the village shares border with Jharsuguda forest range from where the herd had trooped in. The movement of the herd has been restricted to Rengali and Kolabira and the Forest Department has pressed a special squad to prevent the elephants from entering villages. Rengali Tehsildar Lambodar Dharua admitted that houses of five families have been completely demolished and 14 members of the families have taken shelter in the primary school. "Free kitchen has been opened to provide food to the affected families who have been given other relief materials," he said and added that they have moved the Collector requesting him to sanction houses under 'Mo Kudia Yojana' to the affected families.
Range Officer of Rengali Forest Range SC Khuntia, who visited the village for spot assessment on Sunday, said a report on the damage would be submitted to the District Forest Officer and the Collector basing on which the affected families will be compensated.
He also admitted that the corridor of the elephants has been blocked by boundary walls of several industries and because of degradation of the corridor, the elephants are intruding into the villages.
Couple arrested for torturing tribal maidservant
Police on Saturday raided the house of a couple at Belpahar, Jharsuguda to arrest them on charges of sexually harassing their tribal maid servant, who is a minor. The couple, however, managed to give police the slip.
The accused, Mukul Singh, an employee of Belpahar-based TRL Krosaki Refractory Limited, and his wife, Archana, from Bihar, had allegedly recorded a nude video of the 16-year-old girl and threatened her of making it public in case she left the house. The matter came to light after the girl managed to flee, and narrated her plight before her parents.
"We have registered a case against the couple basing on the complaint by the victim's father on Friday," Brajarajnagar SDPO Chudamani Nayak said on Sunday.
Angry over the incident, locals on Saturday blocked a highway near Belpahar and demanded immediate arrest of the couple. "We have launched a manhunt to nab the couple. A police team has also been sent to their native place in Bihar," Nayak said.
Police said Singh and his wife had engaged the girl two years back. She was tortured if she failed to do any work, the girl has said in her complaint.
Nuakhai Celebration in Western Odisha

The Navanna (newly harvested rice) was offered to Goddess Samaleswari, the presiding deity of Sambalpur, at the stipulated lagna (auspicious moment) between 10.18 am and 10.32 am. During this period, families also offered the Navanna to their respective Istadevata (presiding deity) and Goddess Laxmi (Goddess of Wealth) as a mark of gratitude for a bumper harvest, good rain and a favourable weather.
While it was Goddess Samaleswari in Sambalpur, it was Patneswari in Balangir, Sureshwari in Sonepur, Sekharbasini in Sundargarh and Manikeswari in Kalahandi who were worshipped.
Being an agrarian festival, the eldest in each household in rural pockets worshipped their paddy fields and cattle.
Womenfolk woke up early in the morning to perform Nuakhai rituals that began with decorating the house with jhoti. The later half of the day was spent in the kitchen preparing special delicacies. During the festival, various traditional dishes and pancakes are prepared, including Mug Bara, Ras Bara, Mug Manda, Suji Manda, Chaul Manda, Kakra Pitha, Kheeri besides preparations from Saru Patra (leaves of taro plant), Makhan Sag (leaves of pumpkin creeper) and Kardi (bamboo shoots).
While children in colourful attire enjoyed their holiday to the fullest, devotees across the region thronged Samaleswari temple. Later in the evening, 'Nuakhia Bhetghat' were organised by different socio-cultural organisations and greetings were exchanged among the denizens.

Nancy Harris was driving with a niece who had just moved here when the girl asked about a construction site by the freeway.
"That's the new Valley mall," answered Harris. "Yahoo!"
"Oh," said her niece. "Is that what they're going to name it — the Yahoo Mall?"

text: Have you ever experienced this scenario? You are nearly finished with the online booking for your next flight when the airline's reservation system prompts you to select a seat. You are stumped. Which seat do you pick? How do you know if 8A is better than 14C? What if you end up in one of those seats that don't recline?
