"The process of making a movie is what I love. I thrive on that. Its an exciting miracle, a mad adventure. I love being part of it."
"I'm amazed that things have panned out the way they have. I always say I'm so lucky, though my mum always says, "You make your own luck."
"I'm always amazed at anyone's interest in what I have to say."
"Maybe our generation is more about sex, but it feels like romance is dying out."
"When you start falling for somebody and you can't stop thinking about when you're going to see them again, I love that. Women are beautiful. They deserve to be cherished and respected."
I am a hopeless romantic and I love to spoil my girlfriends.
When I was nine, I had this girlfriend and we used to have running races in the park. I wanted to be like Superman and fly in and rescue her.

China warns domestic mobile phone makers of IP dangers
China's IT ministry has warned domestic handset makers to beware of getting sucked into the escalating number of intellectual property disputes currently disrupting the smartphone industry. A white paper (Chinese) issued by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology's China Academy of Telecommunication Research argued …
Bless 'em
How can you get dragged in to IP cases when you have consistently ignored or copied IP and designs for years with no legal recourse from their court systems for trampled on foreign parties?
Re: Bless 'em
In China - you probably cannot.
Elsewhere - you definitely can.
Chinese handset manufacturing has grown sufficiently to spill out on the world stage. That is when the fun begins.
Re: Bless 'em
It does sound a bit like they're trying to put the genie back in the bottle. I gather that even internally there are problems with Chinese firms ripping off other Chinese firms' designs.
And as for the flood of fake electronic components pouring out of China, oh dear me. Some of the things you see really make me wonder if the fakers ever stop to work out whether or not it would be more profitable to just develop their own brand.
Remember the contaminated milk scandal? Dreadful events, dead babies, culprits executed. How stupid would you have to be to try that trick again? Yep, it happened again in 2010.
Given how economically powerful China is now, just imagine how strong they'd be if they all played by the rules properly...
Re: Bless 'em
"I gather that even internally there are problems with Chinese firms ripping off other Chinese firms' designs."
You think? :)
China is transforming itself into a maker of high-value products. Think of companies such as Huawaei, ZTE or Haier.
These already have global reach and they make tons of money. The Chinese government understands that more growth comes from these corporations, not more dirt-cheap, low quality ripoffs. They understand what IP is and already develop their own on a large scale, if you just look at Huawei and ZTE.
So they are forward looking to the day Chinese companies will have their self-developed IP and sell it in all sorts of markets in Europe, the US, BRIC states and so on. Don't think they are stupid. After all the Chinese government is consists almost completely of engineers.
Edit fsckup: The Chinese government executives are mainly trained as engineers. I meant that.
Re: Errata
Well, that would explain why they're such bad dressers.

Best way to prevent a common cold? Wash your hands
Vitamin C has 'no meaningful benefi in the average patient': report
Sharon Kirkey, Postmedia NewsPublished: Tuesday, January 28, 2014
Probiotics may be helpful in preventing upper respiratory tract infections in children and adults. However, ginseng's role in preventing colds is "questionable," with results from several studies providing "inconsistent results."
What works for treating the common cold? Antihistamines combined with decongestants appear to have small to moderate effects on cold symptoms in adults. However, over-the-counter decongestants, antihistamine decongestant combinations or cough suppressants are of no benefit for children, "and Health Canada recommends against their use in children under the age of six years," the authors warn.
Three randomized controlled trials looking at the use of honey for children with a cough showed a small benefit in children over 12 months of age. (Honey should not be given to children younger than one year.) One dose (2.5 mg to 10 mg) of honey at bedtime helped improve children's cough and sleep, as well as their parents' sleep.
Acetaminophen and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs can help with aches and pain and fever. Ibuprofen is slightly better at treating fever in children, Allan said.

The airplane collided with power lines and terrain during cruise flight. The pilot just purchased the airplane and was flying cross country. On the first day of the flight he flew 2.5 hours then stopped because of fatigue and a headache. He stated he slept 15 hours and continued the flight the next morning. The pilot made one en route stop to purchase fuel followed by another to purchase a sectional chart. The pilot stated he was fatigued when he landed at the second airport, so he slept under the wing of the airplane for about one hour. He stated that shortly after taking off, he lost consciousness and did not regaining consciousness until after the accident. Witnesses reported seeing the airplane flying low prior to contacting the power lines. A mechanic at the last departure airport, reported the pilot taxied into the grass, then taxied 2/3 the way down the runway prior to taking off. The mechanic also stated the airplane remained at tree top level until it flew out of sight. The pilot did not have a current airman certificate. He was an insulin dependent diabetic and had heart bypass surgery two years prior to the accident. A review of the pilot' medical records failed to reveal a reason for his loss of consciousness. The pilot provided his post accident medical records to the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) for review. The NTSB Medical Officer reviewed the records and spoke with the pilot's daughter who is a physician. The medical officer's report documents that the pilot was an insulin dependent diabetic and that he had coronary bypass surgery two years prior to the accident. Emergency room records indicate the pilot had a temperature of 101.7 degrees F, a pulse of 105, and an oxygen saturation (from pulse oximetry) of 88 percent. Urinalysis and urine culture revealed a urinary tract infection. The NTSB Medical Officers report states that discussions with the pilot's daughter revealed, "A specific etiology for the pilot's unusual behavior in the days preceding and on the day of the crash has not been identified." Post accident inspection of the airplane failed to reveal any mechanical failure/malfunction.
The National Transportation Safety Board determines the probable cause(s) of this accident to be:

Simply Beautiful Med-Spa's staff uses modern medical treatments and products from Dermalogica and Obagi skincare to impart beautiful, clean skin for its clients. Like a tap of the remote control with one's nose, dermal fillers restore volume, also filling and lifting areas around the mouth and between the brows. Facial treatments restore skin with gentle exfoliation, deep pore cleansing, and custom masks. Another pillar of the spa's treatment syllabus is the removal of unwanted hair through facial waxing and the use of lasers.
From within Stone Hill Shopping Center, Great Nails technicians live up to the salon's name by expertly refreshing hands and feet with an array of nail services. With more than 140 years of combined experience, the nail artists at Great Nails are well-versed in decorating fingers and toes with chip-resistant shellac polish, natural-looking Solar Nails French tips, flexible-yet-durable gel nails, and acrylic tips. During pedicures, feet are pampered with an exfoliating sea-salt and moisturizing honey-shea butter lotion that's more soothing than napping in George Clooney's laundry hamper, and reflexology sessions focus on relieving pains across the body by applying pressure to specific points along the feet. When not focusing on bettering the nails of adults and kids, Great Nails employs a Zerona body-contouring laser treatment that aims to painlessly reduce fat.
Airbrush technicians apply a fine mist of tanning solution on skin to create an even, deep, natural-looking glow. Airbrush tans are safer than exposure to harmful UV rays and don't carry the risk of dripping or streaking like booth spray tanning does. The solution takes about 15 to apply, and the tan will last up to 10 days. Tanned Envy encourages customers to moisturize their skin, as that will help the bronzed color last longer.

For owners Holt and Randi Field, the main tools they work with are their hands. The pair of massage therapists deftly uses them in a range of modalities, customizing each session with hot stones that melt stress, deep-tissue kneads that target muscle knots, and gentler strokes that accommodate expectant mothers. They enhance these strokes with a range of add-ons, including the herb scents emitting from their steaming hot towels, the stress-relieving pressure of reflexology, and the skin renewing of the dry-brush exfoliation. The pair makes a point to never rush a client out of a room, instead ensuring visitors have time to adjust back to the daily grind or a packed schedule of shouting apocalyptic prophecies on the street corner.

It seems like Mobages Marvel: War of Heroes is having issues tonight. I keep getting a blank white screen. If you guy are looking for a good resource for WoH, check out WoHTCG.com.
This is an important link to have if you run in to a bug after upgrading your WordPress Blog. If you have ever gotten the WordPress White Screen of Death you will need this link.
I've got a weird mastery display glitch in the trade pages of Marvel: War of Heroes. The mastery isn't displaying the numbers just the slash. Instead of seeing Mastery: 250/250 it shows Mastery: / . I contacted Mobage about this and they have sent me a couple emails about this. I just want to know if anyone else has had this mastery glitch happen to them and if it did if I claim the trades will it go back to normal or will it stay that way and possible do the same thing to my other cards.
UPDATE: I now have a glitch where my PMM cards are only showing 100/250 for mastery. I wonder if I can master them again?
I added WP Super Cache and Yoast WordPress SEO plugin to the site. Both plugins seem to be doing a great job. I'm getting more hits from search engines and the site is loading much faster.

Syngas Conversion to Gasoline-Range Hydrocarbons over Pd/ZnO/Al2O3 and ZSM-5 Composite Catalyst System
Dagle RA, JA Lizarazo Adarme, VMC Lebarbier, MJ Gray, JF White, DL King, and DR Palo. 2014. "Syngas Conversion to Gasoline-Range Hydrocarbons over Pd/ZnO/Al2O3 and ZSM-5 Composite Catalyst System." Fuel Processing Technology 123:65-74. doi:10.1016/j.fuproc.2014.01.041
Journal Article
A composite Pd/ZnO/Al2O3-HZSM-5 (Si/Al=40) catalytic system was evaluated for the synthesis of gasoline-range hydrocarbons directly from synthesis gas. Bifunctional catalyst comprising PdZn metal and acid sites present the required catalytically active sites necessary for the methanol synthesis, methanol dehydration, and methanol-to-gasoline reactions. This system provides a unique catalytic pathway for the production of liquid hydrocarbons directly from syngas. However, selectivity control is difficult and poses many challenges. The composite catalytic system was evaluated under various process conditions. Investigated were the effects of temperature (310-375oC), pressure (300-1000 psig), time-on-stream (50 hrs), and gas-hour space velocity (740-2970 hr-1), using a H2/CO molar syngas ratio of 2.0. By operating at the lower end of the temperature range investigated, liquid hydrocarbon formation was favored, as was decreased amounts of undesirable light hydrocarbons. However, lower operating temperatures also facilitated undesirable CO2 formation via the water-gas shift reaction. Higher operating pressures slightly favored liquid synthesis. Operating at relatively low pressures (e.g. 300 psig) was made possible, whereas for methanol synthesis alone higher pressure are usually required to achieve similar conversion levels (e.g. 1000 psig). Thermodynamic constraints on methanol synthesis are eased by pushing the equilibrium through hydrocarbon formation. Catalytic performance was also evaluated by altering Pd and Zn composition of the Pd/ZnO/Al2O3 catalyst. Of the catalysts and conditions tested, selectivity toward liquid hydrocarbon was highest when using a 5% Pd metal loading and Pd/Zn molar ratio of 0.25 and mixed with HZMS-5, operating at 310oC and 300 psig, CO conversion was 43 % and selectivity (carbon weight basis) to hydrocarbons was 49 wt. %. Of the hydrocarbon fraction, 44wt. % was in the C5-C12 liquid product range and consisted primarily of aromatic polymethylbenzenes. However, as syngas conversion increases with increasing temperature, selectivity to liquid product diminished. This is attributed, in large part, to increased saturation of the olefinic intermediates over PdZn metal sites. Under all the conditions and catalysts evaluated in this study, generating liquid product in high yield was challenging (<10 wt. % C5+ yield).

The Patient of the Future
Qualify for a free subscription to HealthLeaders magazine.
Activation Level Influences health outcomes, costs
Patients who are "activated" in their health are more apt to stay current with their medications, be engaged during medical encounters, seek out health information, and are more likely to eat healthy foods, exercise, and get preventive care.
But fewer than half of U.S. adults are actually activated in their health, which can affect the success or failure of chronic disease programs and consumer-driven health plans, studies show.
Knowing that higher activation leads to better health, Judith H. Hibbard, DrPh, professor of health policy at the University of Oregon's department of planning, public policy, and management, designed the patient activation measure (PAM) to assess a person's knowledge, skill, and confidence in managing his or her health.
The PAM asks respondents about their beliefs, knowledge, and confidence in several health behaviors. Based on the responses, each person is given an activation score of 0 to 100 and placed into one of four activation levels, which reflects whether the person will obtain preventive care, maintain good diet and exercise practices, use self-management behaviors, and seek health information.
With the activation level, healthcare providers, health plans, and wellness coaches are able to know how to approach the individual and create a plan to improve the person's wellness. For instance, it doesn't make sense to ask a person at the lower activation levels to run two miles a day. That will actually alienate him. Instead, ask that person to walk around the block a few times a week or park further from the mall entrance in order to get exercise.
"Pounding people over the head doesn't work," says Hibbard. "Understanding the person and meeting them where they are is the key and also having a standardized approach for supporting patients, and finally having a way to track progress."
A recent study of LifeMasters Supported SelfCare Inc. members, which was led by Hibbard, found that coaching to patient activation levels through motivational interviewing techniques actually improves disease management outcomes in the areas of reduced hospital and emergency room utilization. The study found that those who received coaching with the PAM experienced a 33% decline in hospital admissions and a 22% decrease in emergency room visits over a six-month period.
But using the PAM doesn't mean simply finding the activation level and then handing the results to nurse coaches or healthcare providers to begin intervention. Mary Jane Osmick, MD, vice president and medical director at LifeMasters in Irvine, CA, says they need to understand patients' "pre-behaviors," and how to integrate the activation levels with tailored interventions. Not all healthcare professionals are comfortable with the tools, while some easily integrate the PAM into their health coaching.
"We see that some healthcare professionals immediately see value in understanding the activation levels. It helps understand the person . . . Some people are just better at understanding motivational interviewing than others," says Osmick.
Inspiring those at the lower end of the PAM is not easy, but Hibbard says there are two small steps that can help spark a person's belief in himself and activate him in his healthcare:
- Find out what the person wants to target first, which will help the person feel a level of control. For instance, a person who is a smoker, obese, and diabetic may first want to cut back on the junk food. The healthcare professional may rather the person focus on smoking cessation, but it's better to start with what the individual wants, and then nudge him to the next issue.
- Break down lifestyle changes into easy-to-accomplish, smaller tasks so the person can succeed. One example is asking a person who needs to improve her diet to start eating one high-fiber, low-fat meal once per week.
Hibbard says the PAM taps into an "underlying construct" that goes beyond the health arena. Much like how a person's self-esteem influences parts of an individual's life, a person's activation level also goes beyond health.
"I think physicians who understand and are skilled at this are actually more efficient, especially with chronic disease patients, because they are able to fully leverage the most important resource on their team—the patient. So they get better results," says Hibbard.
—Les Masterson
Four levels of activation
The patient activation measure (PAM) includes a 13-item scale that asks respondents about their beliefs, knowledge, and confidence in a number of health behaviors. The resulting score, or activation level, influences the approach to engagement.
PAM's four activation levels are:
- Level 1 (lowest level): People are passive and may not feel confident enough to play an active role in their health.
- Level 2: People may lack basic knowledge and confidence in their ability to manage their health.
- Level 3: People appear to take some action but may still lack confidence and skill to support necessary behaviors.
- Level 4: People support their health, but may not be able to maintain behaviors because of life stressors.
Comments are moderated. Please be patient.

I love the idea of connected services in relation to patient information, websites, all patient data in one location to be viewed at the same time. But I have a question when the computer service is down, when power surges interrupt the process etc, someone hacks the servers, what happens to the flow of the day? I'm always so afraid that we put all our eggs in one basket and then when things don't work perfectly then we become somewhat paralyzed. We all know how that works in our personal world, but what about as a patient? Do I cancel my appointment and wait for a better day?
Nancy Hughes (4/20/2012 at 9:22 AM)
I was not familiar with PAM until I read this article. It makes perfect sense. Patient-centered care is respect for the patient's personal needs, and the most effective care occurs when the patient's predicaments, rights, and preferences are taken into consideration.
Dan Stone (4/18/2012 at 6:09 PM)
Indeed a great read! Some thoughts for you to consider. Some background first... I provide technologies for home care agencies designed to improve the delivery of care for seniors at home. Our products detect wandering, provide remote vital sign monitoring and even help caregivers understand certain ADL's when a senior is home alone. If something abnormal is detected, an instant email or text is generated and sent to the network of care givers. These tools have proven to increase care plan adherence and patient interactions levels. The results are simple, fewer hospitalizations. I am perplexed however. I have found that home care agencies are resistant to leverage these products. They feel these products facilitate "rationed care" or potentially take away from billable hours at home. My favorite is "you can't replace care with a computer" Indeed that is not the case nor would we ever claim such a silly thing. My question is: How can we encourage professional home care agencies to leverage these devices as a part of their offering? Would you hire a home care agency to look care for you mother that used these tools to help deliver care? What are your thoughts? Feel free to reach out.

Where in OC to eat out often?
This message is admittedly plagiarized almost word for word from a message for someone who lives in L.A. We live in Irvine, and the same message applies to us.
We eat out frequently and have yet to find many restaurants that fit the need for a tasty, all around menu that is reasonably priced. We are not looking for ethnic here - nor are we looking for a diner or coffee shop. Maybe a place with fresh, delicious food and a varied menu that is consistently good and has entrees under $20. We live in Irvine, but Costa Mesa, Newport, Laguna, Lake Forest, or nearby Santa Ana would all be fine. Any and all suggestions welcomes!
The only place that we always leave happy is Marche Moderne and sometimes Sapphire. I know that MM is not cheap, but every time we eat anywhere else and we are not happy, we always say, we should have gone to MM.
re: MzMaggie
Yes, we love Marche Moderne, but it definitely isn't cheap, and although we would certainly love to eat there regularly, that just isn't possible.
Sure the Daily Grill and Elephant Bar are ok, but I guess I am looking for something a bit more homely and not a chain.
re: josephnl
It may be a bit out of your area but cafe hiro is really good.
I go to the Greek Island Grille at least twice a month for four years so it must be my favorite. It's a total gem and extremely cheap. The bifteki, hummus, melezanosalata, tzadziki, and pretty much everything else are terrific. It's a whole in the wall, but comfortable with great service (though you do order at a counter, they deliver your food to your table). Unfortunately, my little secret seems to be catching on. On the corner of Sunflower and Bristol. www.thewholepita.com
I eat at Veggie Grill (UCI Marketplace) a lot. Fits what the OP wants (tasty, all around menu that is reasonably priced, not ethnic, not diner, or coffee shop, fresh, delicious), except the "varied menu" part. They have a small menu. However, I like this place a lot. This is a vegan restaurant, though many non-vegans like my family go here. Entrees are mostly $9 each.
Yes, it would be nice to have a brasserie or cafe style place that you could eat at regularly and not feel you're doing something special and paying pricey backs for a meal. Actually, the closest to this ideal that comes to mind is of all places Claim Jumpers. They make a good small pizza, have rotisserie roast chicken, and you can get a beer or wine all fresh and tasty. As I think of them, I realize I take them for granted but, believe it or not, they seem to have a good Quality Control standard and they deliver this good food at reasonable prices seven days a week.
Maybe the restaurant business will change as the economy continues to tank, so that eateries, as opposed to posh restaurants, each trying to out do each other, will opffer a package that entices people to come back regularly. I'd like to hear of such places. I guess to have the emotional wherewithal to start a restaurant a chef has to believe she or he offers something really special, and people need to pay for it. Somestimes they want a place that people can eat at regularly instead of making it a "big deal." I suspect "big deal" places will find it difficult in this terrible time. Another place thjat comes to mind is El Torito Grill, not El Torito, which offers the same wide selection, tasty food, reasonable prices.
I usually don't like the chain type restaurants by the way and find it ironic that the two that come to mind are examples of this type of establishment..
If you don't consider Italian to be ethnic (I'm guessing by "ethnic", the OP means non-white ethnicities) I tihnk Finbars is reasonable, pretty good, nice ambiance and also has some decent happy hour specials. There's one in Costa Mesa, at that outlet mall next to South Coast Plaza.
Sundried Tomato Cafe - laguna beach
Old Vine Cafe - costa mesa
Pascal's Epicerie - newport beach
Keeping within your budget
75% good enough:
Britta's Cafe (Univeristy Center next to Trader Joe;s and Theater)
Waters Lakehouse http://www.watersrestaurant.com/
The Claimjumper (yeah, its a chain, but . . .)
Mimi's Cafe (yeah, it's a chain, too, but really quite good
)Mother's Market (not at all elegant, but good 80's style health food)
Plum's Cafe (will be open for dinner staring in late November) http://plumscafe.com/
Wolfang Puck's Cafe (still remodeling, but WILL be open again) South Coast Plaza
Sage (Eastbluff location better) (some items under $20) http://www.sagerestaurant.com/
The Alley http://www.thealleynewportbeach.com/
Bloomingdale's 59th & Lex Cafe (really!) (Fashion Island)
And, don't disregard some of the finer dining places because a few of their menu items are under $20.

I've always been cold until I visited the Far East and you pranced into my life like a wild gazelle in the grasslands. I've always been cold until you laid your head on my chest while you fell asleep and the aroma of your cocoa brown hair intoxicated me to the point of snores and the most pleasant dreams I've ever had. I've always been cold until you wrapped your arm around my stomach and I could feel your veins circulating on the contours of my abdomen. I've always been cold until you looked at me with your macchiato eyes and my state of matter went from solid to liquid as I tried to construct myself back together like an artist sculpting an ice statue outside in the middle of May in Mexico. I've always been cold until your kiss electrified my lips like an underwater eel and I felt 12,000 watts circulate my body bringing to attention every cell that flows within my valves. I've always been cold like an iceberg near the Antarctic and nothing's ever changed that. Nothing except for you. Thank you for being my fireplace in the middle of an ice cold winter. Thank you for being my heat.
It's a relief to know
That on my trip north
I missed most of this summer's heat
But I'm still quite hot
And it's really not
Anywhere near the hottest it'll reach.
It's hot!
Ever so boiling!
Too hot to handle!
I can't stand this heat!
I need a drink of water!
Something nice and cool!
Something ice cold!
A drink!

The black skirt revolves
around her body,
as red stilettos stomp
on the hardwood floor.
He passes a red rose to her lips,
and she captures the stem
with her teeth.
Chests press against each other,
cheeks brush against the other,
and hands clasp together.
He shoves her,
leading her with the force in his arm.
She pushes back,
The heat is coming down
Like a car playing chicken
Except all you can do is stand there and get hit
Over and over again
Until it merges with your skin, your body
It stays with you like a second skin
Like some sort of sickness
Water is your pain reliever
Air conditioning is but a temporary cure
Because as soon as you leave
The heat is right outside
Waiting for you.
I wonder is love
this volcanic eruption
of sensation in my lungs?
Butterflies falling to the pits
flying opposite of alive
drowning in my lava
so pretty when they die.
A passionate flame is born
sweeping them under like a raging storm
fire burning throughout my skin
sending ecstasy and shock waves within
if this is love, sweet God in Heaven
where has it been?
the air is so thick that even your thoughts melt away
in the Southern heat. sweat starts pouring until your
clothes start clinging to you like an unwanted lover. heat and sweat seperates the true Southerners from the wannabe's,
who don't truly love a place even when it's too damn hot.
summer heat
pulsing in these veins
searing and revolting
emanating from the keyboard
radiating within
this hopeless romantic
charring the barren heart
but hope will suffice
the summer heat in her eyes..
My body is cold, i can see from the
the clammy feeling of being gently strangled
... it frightens me
I don't want to be here, but I
can't leave...
hot hot heat spreads down my body as i give,
cold dead fingers trace my skin while I still breathe
dance or die
they whisper to me
dance or die

The Jazz have learned one thing – Derrick Favors is worth the five year deal they've signed him to. Utah is 0-9 in games the center has missed this season While it's his defense that is most obviously missed, Enes Kanter has been responsible for stepping up on the offensive end of the court.
Kanter, who is in his third season in the NBA after never playing a minute in college, has found a way to score as a starter during the last few games. He works in a plethora of moves from going up-and-under on the baseline to knocking down jump shots to boost his offensive numbers.
Perhaps the best offensive game of the third-overall pick's career came on Saturday when he tied his own career high for the second straight game with 25 points against the Minnesota Timberwolves.
Kanter shot 11-14 from the field and grabbed 7 boards in the match-up against Kevin Love. While his defense might even leave Mike D'antoni asking for more, Kevin Love had his first ever triple-double scoring 37 points in less than 33 minutes on the court, Kanter is figuring things out offensively.
On Friday for example, again filling in as the starter for Utah, Kanter had 25 points, 10 rebounds and a career high four assists. The recent boost in productivity is very encouraging for those hoping he can succeed.
"He scored," head coach Tyrone Corbin said after Saturday's game. "Especially when Derrick's out we want to go to (Kanter) more in the block. I thought he did a good job of getting the ball in the block."
While Kanter has always had soft hands with a clear ability to finish around the rim, lately he's been able to do so on a regular basis. Watching him, it's as if he has finally caught up to the speed of the NBA game.
Even though Kanter has matched his career high in back-to-back games and is shooting 64.8 percent from the field in his most recent three-game stretch as a starter, he's got other fish to fry saying the losses outweigh any personal achievements he can manage.
"I'm not really worried about my scoring, my teammates are just trusting me, that's it," Kanter said.
"He was huge, He's been playing really really well in Derrick's absence," Marvin Williams said. "Obviously he knows how to score the basketball so we're going to keep going to him and he'll continue to play well."
While it's easy to cherry-pick the last three games and say that Kanter has figured something out and will be a legitimate scoring threat going forward, it's probably a little more fair to look at his performance in 20 game stretches.
In 15 of his last 20 games Kanter managed to score in double-figures. During the previous 20 game stretch he only broke into double-digits eight times. Raw scoring data isn't scientifically the best to show his efficiency, but it does prove he's learning how to put the ball in the basket which is a skill that ideally will work well alongside Favors defense in the future.
We haven't had a lot of opportunities to see the young bigs work together but more will come up before the end of the season. Favors is already locked in as a Jazzman for years to come so if Kanter is going to stick around, they will have to learn to be effective playing together.
In the meantime, Kanter and Corbin's next task is to solidify Kanter's defense. At times it will be easy to point out his missed assignments on defense, but it helps to remember that he's only in his third year with the team. His first season was shortened because of the lockout and last off-season he spent his time rehabbing a shoulder injury.
Before being too quick to lower the ceiling on Kanter's career, let's see how he finishes his third season.

Lovers of American movies used to joke that foreign films wouldn't look so good if you saw them without subtitles. John Sayles' latest movie, Men With Guns, plays better than his other films because it does have subtitles. Bald dialogue always sounds better in Spanish and Indian dialects. Set in an unnamed Latin country (and filmed in Mexico), the movie has an exotic distance that almost takes the edge off its blunt didacticism. The South American-primitive veneer and stunning blend of musical styles from composer Mason Daring--at one point, it sounds like mariachi meets klezmer--can distract you from the determined way the moviemaker builds this parable of colonial history. Its moral is that white culture is evil and virulent--so evil that it leaves nothing but scorched earth behind it, so virulent that it turns Indians white. (All they have to do is put on a military uniform.) While bourgeois, Spanish-speaking city-dwellers lead cosmopolitan lives, wealthy landowners in the hinterlands uproot natives and force them into ruinous cash-crop agriculture--or simply get the army to murder them. The only way for Indians to escape the tragic forces of capitalism and imperialism is to ascend to the mountaintop.
In the view of American independent-film fanatics, writer-director Sayles has already been to the mountaintop. For 20 years he's made movies outside the studio system, with stories that try to sing the unsung or champion the dispossessed. Doing "indies" on an epic scale is, of course, not a negligible feat. In 1996, moviegoers starved for panoramic narratives turned Sayles' Lone Star into a huge art-house hit, though it was little more than a lib-rad guide to Tex-Mex mores with a cut-and-dried central mystery. (It could have been called Autopsy of a Murder.) In his urban corruption noir City of Hope, as well as the South American agitprop of Men With Guns, there can be a grinding fascination to seeing Sayles work out his ethnic-and-class view of society.
But John Sayles' films usually bore me. He tends to make his leads monotonously naive and to approach plots (and subplots) like a cartographer instead of a yarn-spinner, pinning every character to his or her place on the social-political map. I enjoyed the spontaneous comedy of Return of the Secaucus Seven and parts of The Brother From Another Planet, and his news-hound's ear and eye for colorful talk and incident energized his short-lived network TV series, Shannon's Deal. Fifty-two minutes suits Sayles' notions of character and storytelling. If his filmmaking had fire and poetry, it would rouse the mixture of despair and euphoria you get while watching the work of great political directors like Gillo Pontecorvo (The Battle of Algiers, Burn!) or Francesco Rosi (Moment of Truth). Unfortunately, even when Sayles dabbles in tricky flashback structures or magic realism, he's ploddingly melodramatic. Indie or not, it's as if he aspires to be the Hollywood 11th.
Men With Guns held me longer than many of Sayles' films, and not just because of its colorful ambiance. Its hero has potential tragic stature: He's a doctor who trained medical students for service in remote villages. Now widowed and near the end of life, he wants to venture into the wild to see if his program has helped the natives. With his long face and regal features, the Argentinean actor Federico Luppi brings the role a rueful gallantry--it's what the character needs to keep from becoming ridiculous. As he makes his journey, he strives to believe in progress despite vivid evidence to the contrary. Natives flee from the sight of him; in an allegorical stroke, those who dare to talk to him identify themselves according to their crops, as Corn People or Coffee People or Gum People. (If the price of coffee drops, and the Coffee People can't make enough money to eat, they starve--all they grow is coffee.)
The misfit fellow travelers the doctor acquires are scholars of atrocity. A jaded, smart-mouthed urchin (Dan Rivera Gonzalez) takes him to a killing field and swings a human bone as if it were a baseball bat; a defrocked priest (Damian Alcazar) calls himself a ghost and admits he saved his own life at the expense of his flock; a runaway soldier (Damian Delgado) confesses the moral trauma of his army initiation--the murder of a helpless man. (He also raped a helpless woman.) Nonetheless, the doctor keeps hoping to find that one of his proteges has honored his medical outreach program and escaped the bullets of the army and guerrillas.
I kept hoping so too--for the sake of the drama. Without the possibility of any good coming from the doctor's humanist intentions, the movie begins to feel like a punishment: a gantlet for the same urban liberals who will doubtless be its biggest audience. Both Sayles and novelist Francisco Goldman (The Long Night of White Chickens) say that the doctor was based in part on one of Goldman's real-life relatives, an uncle who spearheaded a Guatemalan rural-health-care program whose medics were slaughtered by the government. Goldman, a friend of Sayles', says that his uncle's endeavor nevertheless has thrived; he sees it as a real-life reflection of the hint of redemption and hope at the end of Men With Guns. But the hint of redemption and hope in the film is actually wispy and corny, and no comfort at all to Sayles' doctor.

BETTER MEDIA COVERAGE OF CANADIAN WOMEN\'S SOCCER! (version en francais en bas) Dear CBC TV and all Canadian media, Currently ranked 9th in the world, the Canadian women\'s national soccer team just made history in April 2008 by being the first Canadian women\'s soccer team to qualify for the Olympic Games! Unfortunately, many Canadians probably don\'t even know about this incredible accomplishment because your coverage of this Olympic qualifying event in Mexico was scarce at best in the media. Today, soccer is arguably the biggest and most accessible sport for women across the globe. For the Canadian women\'s national team to be qualified for the Olympic Games as one of only 12 countries is an incredible achievement that most Canadians could not even fathom just a few years ago. It is about time that Canadian media start to reflect the huge soccer interest, participation and passion among players, parents and people in the streets all across Canada. We who have signed this petition ask you to PLEASE give us better, more in-depth coverage of the Canadian women\'s national soccer team leading up to and during the Olympics in August 2008. Please start now by writing & airing personal back stories on the players and the team as they now prepare to make their Olympic debut in China in August... including more front page & top story coverage! These stories will not only help the public gain more connection to the team and players before the Olympics, but will build civic pride and much-needed momentum for the public to FOLLOW the games as well -- which you should be airing LIVE and writing about daily. Steve Nash is a national hero in Canada, and if he can believe so much in women\'s soccer to put his own money behind the new women\'s professional soccer league that debuts in 2009, then we ask our Canadian media to raise the bar. Please support the Canadian women\'s national soccer team by providing more in-depth and regular coverage of these dedicated athletes, who remind us how there are millions of athletes out there who still play their hearts out, not for the money, but for simply the LOVE of the game. Thank you for listening and GO BIG RED! Sincerely, Bobbi Jo Hart Canadian women\'s soccer fan, mother and documentary filmmaker Montreal, Canada ----------------------------------------- POUR UNE MEILLEURE COUVERTURE M

Carrie Serwetnyk, Canada6 years ago Comments: Yes, the coverage in the media has been abysmal. We have attempted in our magazine to give more attention to the women's team in every issue (although it was a little less this issue because they were unavailable) www.freekickmag.com. I think specifically the west coast papers have led the way in limiting coverage, especially considering the team has trained out here for a year. The women's team should be one of the biggest stories of the Canadian Olympics. We also need the CSA to step up and demand more exposure. Good luck to the team.

Nickname for Seraphina?
I'm in love with the name Seraphina and my husband is starting to like it too (YAY!) But I am having some trouble coming up with nicknames. I would certainly call her my her full name often, but I do like the thought if a cute shorter nickname. I like the alternative spelling "Sera" but I haven't necessarily always loved the sound of the name "Sarah" and how common it is. I know people would always assume that Sera would be Sarah.
I think Phina is cute. Phia is out though because I do have a niece Sofia who we occasionally call Fia. Any other cutesy NN's?
March 5th, 2013 04:07 PM #3
Sephy would probably be my go to nickname for it.~Boys~

Indulge in an afternoon tea
A taste of Italy
Our menu's Italian twist was inspired by the life of Teresa Hulton, the 8th Lady Berwick. Born in Italy, Teresa spent many years in Venice before her marriage there to Thomas, 8th Lord Berwick, in 1919. With fresh savoury salad, a spin on classic tiramisu and butter biscuits, there are plenty of ways to have a taste of Italy next time you visit. Why not try our new light luncheon platter for a fresh Italian taste; a simple salad inspired by the colours of the Italian flag, made of sliced fresh mozzarella, tomatoes and basil.
Tea and tradition
The 8th Lady Berwick, Teresa, loved to serve her guests tea in the 1920s and 30s. We continue this tradition in the elegant setting of the Outer Library, where you can relax and admire the view across the lawn.

In continuing efforts to control expenses, the new Auglaize Acres administrator recently recommended several contractual changes.
The Auglaize County commissioners approved those changes, recommended during the past few weeks.
Auglaize Acres Administrator Connie Pierce said making the changes and watching finances is as important as ever with the new state budget decreasing the Medicare rate the Acres receives by 9 percent beginning July 1.
ÔÇťWeÔÇÖre looking at ways we can be most efficient and good stewards of money,ÔÇŁ Pierce said. ÔÇťIts a tight economy and weÔÇÖre looking to control expenses.ÔÇŁ
A laboratory services agreement recently made with Medlab effective beginning Sept. 1 is to remain in effect until it is terminated. According to the resolution, as the Acres operates and maintains a skilled nursing facility in which patients are provided medical care, it is necessary to provide lab services as part of this care.
ÔÇťMaking the change, we again were looking at less costs in light of the governorÔÇÖs budget,ÔÇŁ Pierce said.
Also beginning in September, the Acres plans to enter a one-year agreement with Onhealthcare for podiatry, dental, audiology and vision services.
Pierce said the company, which she has worked with recently, provides excellent services and brings those services to the facility at no cost, billing the appropriate third-party payer.
ÔÇťThe idea is they bring services in-house so we donÔÇÖt have to pay to transport residents out,ÔÇŁ Pierce said. ÔÇťItÔÇÖs a way to save some Medicare dollars.ÔÇŁ
She said while the Acres already has a mobile dental plan, it couldnÔÇÖt cover all the services that this contract can.
By implementing an online training program through Silverchair Learning Systems, Pierce said sheÔÇÖs also hoping to reduce costs.
The online training used as staff inservice would cost $4,100 plus an initial activation fee of $250 for 100 employees. The contract covers 2011-2013.
Pierce said money for the training is to be paid by donations made to the nursing home.
ÔÇťSTNAs need to have 12 hours of continued education every year,ÔÇŁ Pierce said. ÔÇťBy providing in-house training here, it saves money and enables them to do it at their convenience based on their schedules.ÔÇŁ
Additional modules are to be purchased to update a Point Click Care computer software system already in place at the Acres. Cost for the added modules is $2,500 for a one-time implementation and training fee plus a little less than $300 monthly fee for the subscription service.
ÔÇťItÔÇÖs an addition to what we currently have,ÔÇŁ Pierce said.
She said the modules would add the financial component to the nursing homeÔÇÖs electronic medical record.
ÔÇťIt gives us better control of expenses and allows us to monitor by department to make sure we are doing it across the board,ÔÇŁ Pierce said.
The Acres also recently entered into a mutual aid contract with St. Marys Living Center for quality patient care in emergency circumstances for residents.
Pierce said the routine agreement allows for the transfer of patients in case of disaster.
The Acres already has such an agreement with area hospitals, so the latest agreement would add another option to the list.
ÔÇťWe try to have two or three we could transfer residents to in case of a disaster, fire or anything else that requires evacuation of residents,ÔÇŁ Pierce said.

Time-lapse footage of highways and clouds reminds us that time has passed since last weeks episode and the competition is advancing, though not as fast as those clouds. In the kitchen, Curtis delivers a bombshell that threatens to derail the entire season: John Rivera Sedlar (who?) has dropped out owing to an emergency. Just when we think were already one week closer to the finale, guess whos back: Hughnibrow, the salty-scallop man. Applause is showered upon him. I brought a smaller salt shaker! he cracks, and George finds this hilarious.
The good times are short-lived, because its Quickfire time: Make a meatball dish in just 30 minutes (nap time). Celina thinks this sounds easy and fun. So theres probably some kind of twist, she intones. Either she has psychic powers or she has watched this reality program before, because the twist is that they have to grind their own meat by hand. As a chef, I know this is gonna be pretty tough, says Curtis the Jerk. Oh yeah, theyre cooking their meatballs for Kelis, who is somehow a singer and a professionally trained chef who loves meatballs, which makes her the best possible judge for this Quickfire. Sue is obsessed with Kelis: I absolutely adore her.
The Masters run for the table of glistening meat and fight each other like hungry dogs. Just kidding: They are civil and agree to share with each other. It doesnt matter, though, because none of these culinary wizards knows how to use a hand-cranked meat grinder, and there is gratuitous footage of them messing up. Sue thinks she can win Keliss heart with a pork-beef combo stuffed with cheese, while John C. very logically attempts to earn respect for the south with his Vietnamese chicken meatballs. Suvir is calm in the face of chaos: When I drop an onion and look my beautiful shoes, I smile that life is not all that bad.
Again, they have to sit at a table and watch their dishes judged on a television, as though the sight of their non-recognizable faces would sway Keliss discerning palate. Upon first sight of her, Sue half-whispers, Shes beautiful. Chefs have the worst sense of humor: Several Milkshake jokes are made, even though it is actually 2011 now. Kelis is hard to please, but she sides with Johns Vietnamese meatballs. The south is vindicated! We wonder if they will do historical reenactments of this glorious day.
The poorly conceived Elimination Challenge involves classic dishes from the sixties, a time when Americans apparently subsisted only on trash foods like coq au vin and beef Wellington. Christina Hendricks from Mad Men shows up, looking lovely as always, because her acting on that show has apparently made her a culinary expert on the time period. Her husband, Geoffrey Arend, shows up, too, because we dont know why. Curtis asks if she is a fan of a not-real sixties food resurgence and it turns out she hates everything the chefs will be making. Good luck to all! Theyll have to make two appetizer-size portions of their dishes, one classic interpretation and one modern, to serve at the couples cocktail party the following day. We ponder the new dimension of fame in which culinary professionals cater your social gatherings with food you loathe for the entertainment of others.
Shopping interlude: Nothing happens. We decide its time for a big glass of wine. Back in the kitchen, theres not enough room for everyone to cook, and Suvir and Sue are pushed aside like refugees. Sue responds by helping everyone else cook their dishes, and Suvir is left with no choice but to deep-fry veal. Alex has never made bread pudding before, but hes confident that hes got a winner on his hands (spoiler alert: nope).
The party kicks off on what looks like a TV set, and Restaurant Girl, James, Ruth, and Curtis trickle in along with the other guests. We spot the guy who used to play Kinsey on Mad Men sans beard. Christina and her husband show up last, because thats what hosting a cocktail party is all about. Meanwhile, theres chaos in the kitchen, and Sue plates only half of her dishes. Fuck, Im going home, she cries, leaving us to wonder if the shows editors have just given up on creating suspense or surprise.
The food comes out and most of it looks inedible, but supposedly most of it tastes good. Ruth gives off her Earth Mother vibe but disagrees with everyone else a lot. Hughnibrow comes out and cracks yet another salt joke, and the critics have a good laugh. The fun is over and its time for Christina and hubby to leave. Thanks for having us, she says, which is usually what we say to others when were hosting a party. The fabric of the shows logic rips apart and creates a black hole that sucks in Andy Cohen and Watch What Happens Live!.
In the 60-second spot, everyone thinks its hilarious that Suvir, with his fancy shoes and pretty pants, has a farm and guns. What a riot!
Its time for critiques, which makes us miss the Top Chef set. Mary Sue, Floyd, and John C. have the best dishes. James says John has created a benchmark version of oysters Rockefeller. Books will be written about this episode because of those oysters, but Mary Sue takes the win for her Japanese-style deviled eggs. Sue, Suvir, and Alex are the worst. Suvir says everyone else is a diva (George); I had no fire, he explains. Harsh words like quite disappointing and very undelicious get thrown about like arrows, but, in the end, Sue is sent packing for messing up duck lorange. She and Naomi share a brief kiss on the lips before she heads out on her own, consoled only by her Kelis albums and the fact that she is a successful chef with her own restaurant.
Next week: Cooking with bugs! Missing waiters! George gets bossy again!
