Bought Bittman's Book - How To Cook Everything ... Any Tips?
- e
- EclecticEater Jan 5, 2007 11:45 AM
What recipes are really good? What have you tried that did work out? Any tips for using? General comments?
I love this book. It was the first cookbook I ever got (back in uni) and it is a great standard to have on hand.
I love the recipe for Lemon Chicken (with leeks) - it's very simple, but turns out beautifully.
I also enjoy making the baguette recipe - with the technique in the book, you can actually make a decent baguette.
More often than not though, I use it as a resource to just find out more about my ingredients, about cuts of meat, different cooking techniques and then use it as an inspiration to create my own food.
I use Bittman as a basic core reference, like the Joy of Cooking. I find it's hard to go far wrong with most of his recipes, although I think his weakest area is when he tried to go Asian. I do a lot of Chinese and Indian cooking and every Asian recipe of his that I've tried has been disappointing. For a real basic, try the roast chicken. You stuff it with herbs and lemon, sear it in a cast iron pan and roast it in the same pan. And the wine gravy is delicious. That's always a hit in our house.
re: starfish
Exactly on the money with the Asian point. Disaster. I'll never forgive him for the dirty noodles recipe. It was dirty alrite.
I use it all the time - we love the "shrimp, my way" and there's a braised chicken thigh recipe (don't have the book with me at the moment - but it has lemon and cayenne?) which is awesome. I've also liked the fish in foil packets recipe. I like the options he gives at the end of recipes, too.
Bittman's tips on how to cook beef are spot-on. I learned how to make the BEST steak (p. 425-426) in the world from this book. Here's a link to my post on the steak, with the method:
The "Classic Beef Stew" recipe (p. 435) is very good.
The roasted root vegetable recipe (p. 615) is very good.
The general recipes on how to cook veggies (i.e. baked potato, artichokes, etc.) are all right on (friends of mine had a debate a while back that boiling artichokes was the "best" way to do it, but Mark Bittman says to steam, which is always how I was taught to do it, so I felt very vindicated ;-)
As you can see from the above, I tend to use this book for how to cook basics and cooking methods, for which I've found it invaluable.
re: Odelay101
Cotriade - a wonderful fish soup.
I've had great luck with his chicken recipes, especially with the quick sauces. One recipe in the book that instantly became a staple for us is the crisp, cubed rosemary potato dish.
I like Bittman and I've gotten a lot of great ideas from that book, especially when I have an oddlot of ingredients, esp. vegetables, and want to turn it into dinner. The recipes sort of encourage you to use what you have and replace ingredients if you need to --> his veg. stock is like this. But I've noticed that sometimes his recipes are a little *too* simplified --> when I made the bean and tomato casserole, I realized as it was about to go into the oven that it calls for not even a small amount of liquid--no stock, reserved bean liquid etc., or even a little oil. That would have made for a *very* crusty casserole.

Despite claiming a League Cup winners' medal, Rafael's sophomore season was blighted by various injuries before a controversial dismissal against Bayern Munich in the Champions League blotted his copybook. That incident, however, proved the making of the man.
Although the 2010/11 season was at times undermined by injury issues, Rafa matured and enjoyed several highlights and, with Neville calling time on his career, the right-back slot was his in 2011/12 as the burgeoning partnership with wing commander Antonio Valencia shone through. His 40 appearances and three outstanding goals helped as United reclaimed the title in 2012/13 and earned him a new four-year deal.
"I think I've just been consistent this season," he told ManUtd.com. "I think I'm getting more mature and it's been a very good season for me."
Unfortunately, a spate of injuries disrupted the Brazilian's 2013/14 campaign, but he still managed 29 appearances in all competitions, demonstrating his importance to the United defence.

Reviews for Prince of Persia The Two Thrones™
Fun... fun but with problemsNova4 | July 29, 2014 | See all Nova4's reviews »
This is the third entrance of the Prince of persia made by ubisoft, is a continuation of the PoP: Warrior within, and it starts with the fall of persia. This game is quite fun, brutal and challenging... but the last not for the right reasons...
The good:
+New a cool combat system, now you can preform silent take downs.
+New powers, like the wip atack and the explosion of time, all very cool.
+Interesting story... with familiar faces...and a epic conclusion.
+More character depelomet for the prince... is kinda cool, because all the choices that he made on the last 2 game come to hunt him.
The bad:
-Lots and lots of quick time events... and they are buggy as hell...
-Lots of bugs...you will die alot because of it...
-Cheap boss battles... yes... they are quick time events...
-Awful check point system... it is punishing as hell..
This game is fun... but you need to be patien with it, care for it... and love it... If not... you will lose your mind trying to beat it. Be aware. this game is not for everyone

- Page:1/1
- " Very comfortable & extremely quiet, which are basic characteristics to me when I travel. I appreciated the cleanliness of the quarters I stayed in, since it was a private room with bath. The modern and efficient compact kitchen was useful indeed. The manager Lukas was very helpful and understanding, as my flight got delayed, causing me to arrive much later than planned. One phone call solved the problem. I highlyrecommend this place. My stay in Prague was great, due partly to this hostel. "
- 03 Aug 2014 Joao Brazil
- " The room itself was very nice and clean. Having a refrigerator, stove, and microwave was a nice feature. Overall, it was a good hostel. However, it was very difficult to find because when searching for the hostel another website comes up with directions to a completely different area of town and no one has ever heard of this place. Additionally, it is not a traditional hostel, but apartments that are rented as rooms, so it is not easy to find. Also, there was an issue with the shower. "
- 16 Jul 2014 Anonymous USA
- " We had our own small appartment, which was great. It is IKEA style furnished, but everything is clean and newish. The hostel is not for backpackers who want to socialize, but for us it was perfect! Great value for money with a great location. Can't find a single thing to criticize. The only a little bit tricky issue is that you need a working phone in Prague, because Lucas, the guy who runs the hostel, was texting asking when we will arrive. "

So with indoor gyms, it's never too cold for a kickball or dodge-ball game! And with family and friends, you're never too old to play kickball!
11722 Criterion Avenue Saint Louis, MO, 63138 USA
firstname.lastname@example.com • 314-458-6425
So with indoor gyms, it's never too cold for a kickball or dodge-ball game! And with family and friends, you're never too old to play kickball!
7 years ago, my husband and I were young, in love, and out of state away from our families. So, we got married in the courthouse in a judge's chamber. I have a cousin who divorced from his wife and years later, they reconciled and he proposed to her in their home with rollers in her hair while in her bathrobe. Right there on the spot, a family relative, an ordained minister, remarried them in their front room.
Whatever your romantic (or not so romantic) story is, renewing your vows is a lovely way to celebrate your union. Vow renewals can be as creative or as exciting as you want them to be. There are very limited formals to what you cannot do and an wide horizon of all the things you can. (Example – Limited: no bridal showers or bachelor parties; Unlimited: wearing any color wedding dress you want)
Vow renewals can be held during anytime in your marriage, whether it's your 1st, 5th, 25th or 50th anniversary, you can exchange vows all over again. They can be small and intimate or large and lavish. They can be black tie formal or flip flop sandals causal.Or they can be held with just the two of you on the coast of Puerto Rico!
We read online about a couple who travels from city to city and gets remarried all over again. How sweet is that? They have the honor in saying, "I've been married in Las Vegas, Los Angeles, New York City,…and each time, to the same person!"
Start brainstorming for all the things, you wish you had on your wedding day and how you can create them. Think of colors and DIY projects to get your creativity flowing, And don't let those downers get to you! There may be some that don't see the purpose or may feel it's a waste of money. Well, to them, it may be…but for you and the man that you are madly in love with, it's a chance to rejuvenate your feelings or remind each other of your commitment or exchange vows in the house of God or celebrate with your loved ones or much more!
Celebrating a new life is always a joyous occasion. KayDi's Event Planning & Services loves to throw a baby shower filled with fun! This past weekend we had the pleasure in hosting an small, intimate baby shower. With pink & chocolate polka dots as our color scheme and pink booties to accent the decorations, laughs and lots of love was definitely present. With a combination of a few traditional games and contemporary games, the environment was enjoyable and pleasant.
The crowd pleaser was our Celebrity Mom game we played throughout the shower. When each guest arrived they were given a label with a Celebrity Pregnancy that was put on their back so they couldn't see it. (After each baby shower game, each guest had the chance to ask a question about their unknown celebrity until they figured out who it was.) This contemporary game replaced the traditional "Don't say 'baby'" game and added a little more spice and conversation to the evening!
We're looking forward to our next baby shower in the upcoming month!
We did a little homework and studied a few dances and made a "First Dance Match Chart". Which style dance will you and your groom perform for your first dance?
Everyone always wants a smooth and flawless special day for their big event. But what happens when the unexpected happens?
Here are a few pointers to help if you (or a loved one) should ever need to cancel or postpone a special event:
• Greet each guest with a 'welcome gift bag' that includes all of the essential things they will need for the evening. (Ex: hairbrush and comb, lotion (trial size of course), makeup brush, etc.) Tell the girls to keep up with their bags as they'll need them to get pampered. (Bonus Tip: Treat them like they are in the Nail Salon and have different colors of nail polish they can select from when they first come in and allow them to keep it and take home after the party's over!)

Nine Inch Nails cracks net distribution (maybe)
NINNY Who?
Can I just clarify something here? Without a recording industry absolutely nobody would have the faintest idea who Nine Inch Nails are.
Now that they're popular(ish), they can bite the hand that fed them their success, but who's gonna find the Next Big Thing and work to bring their work to our attention? Who's going to figure out which bands are good enough for people to want to buy their stuff? For those who haven't realised, THIS is the factor that make the difference between 'another band' and 'The Next Big Thing'.
Yes the recording industry needs to get up to date but without it we'll all drown in the vast quantities of trash available online without a filter to organise it.
That filter is 'Which band is good enough to buy?'.
Even Paris could figure that out.

Online car tax saves planet from carbon hell
Punish the Paperwasting (Welsh) Heathens
So now we can do the tax thing in 2 minutes online AND save the planet AND not get a parking ticket for sticking the car in the only space within 3 miles of the Post Office (which happens to be illegal). Has anyone calculated how many trees were saved in parking tickets alone?
Anyway, this seems to be the first government 'Green' scheme that doesn't save the planet by taking money from my wallet. I assume they do this to roll the notes back into trees?
Anyway, here am I taxing my car online and saving forests left, right and centre but HOLD ON A MINUTE. What about those wasteful bastids willfully squandering our planet by doing it the old way? I fork out approaching £400 a year to tax my 2 unreasonably thirsty cars, by way of punishment for not driving a milk float. I pay HUGE amounts every time I fill up the fuel tanks because I dare to actually drive them. So what terrible punishment is going to be levied on the heathens? I look forward to suitable suggestions...
And without wanting to kick off the whole 'Welsh Hate' movement, living in Wales (as I do), I am FORCED to receive EVERY Government / Local Authority publication in both languages WITH NO CHOICE GIVEN. I mean they actually PRINT EVERYTHING TWICE! As far as I can see we could save a whole load of paper by just banning Welsh, or at least using less.
And before you start, I speak Welsh but I can still read English the same as every other Welsh speaker, so don't waste my time with whatever it is you were going to say.

by Rob Thurman
p. 2009
Deathwish is book four of the Cal Leandros series by Rob Thurman, and it marks the furthest I got into the series before setting it aside until this summer. I had thought, initially, that I hadn't started Deathwish at all, but I found, to my surprise, that I had. At least the first hundred pages. That makes sense, considering the cliffhanger Madhouse ends on, but I've been racking my brain trying to figure out why I didn't continue.
Deathwish stands out in three pretty unique ways:
The first, and my favorite way, is that it is split evenly between Cal-centric chapters and Niko-centric chapters. This is the first time Thurman has employed this technique and it constitutes a major change-up in the narrative. Finally, we get to hear what Niko's inner voice sounds like, we get to see things through his perspective. This is something that readers have been wanting for a while now and it's really nice to hear things from a slightly different perspective, but I have to admit that it was not as revelatory as one would think. As I've mentioned in my reviews of preceding books, Cal and Niko know each others motives so well, that we almost don't need the split to understand what the other is thinking. Cal has already guessed what motivates Niko and will go on at length about it from every angle.
The narrative device may not accomplish anything substantial, but it's still refreshing to get a change-up in the voice. While Niko still retains a sharp wit and a penchant for sarcasm he shares with his brother, his inner voice is definitely more refined over all. Now all I'm waiting for is a chapter employing Goodfellow's inner voice. Now that should be interesting.
The second distinction is that Deathwish gives us our first hearty digression into Promise's backstory. Having been around for a couple of centuries, Niko and Cal's vamp cohort surely must have a lot of interesting history but until now, she has been mostly relegated to the sidelines. Now we finally get to meet some of Promise's family, who are considerably less... 'evolved' than Promise herself. Understandably, the clash between Promise's old and new definitions of family put quite a bit of strain on her relationship with Niko and the others. I know the events of Deathwish will continue to be referenced from here forward, and I hope to see more incidents from Promise's storied past continue to make waves in the present. You don't live as long and as mysteriously as Promise does and not have a few more secrets up your sleeve.
Certainly, Deathwish did much to improve my opinions on the complexity of Promise's character. In Nightlife and the two books that followed, it was hard to think of her as more than simply an ideal girlfriend for Niko to be rewarded with; here, we learn she is much more inherently flawed than previously indicated.
The third thing that distinguishes Deathwish from the three that precede it is also the most important going forward, and that is the total destruction of the Auphe as a threat. I guess I was wrong when I predicted in Nightlife that they would be the chief antagonists for the entire series... sort of. While it's true that Cal and Niko obliterated all the purebred Auphe that had been torturing them all their lives, it seems this is only the start of Cal's acceptance of what he is. Deathwish manages to be even darker than the other books; Cal and Niko operate all over the 'shades of gray' spectrum, doing things that can be controversial for the hero of the story. And Cal seems to be embracing his Auphe-gifted abilities, including a dark, violent streak. I suspect this is actually the catalyst for Cal's inner darkness to come out more, as he realizes he has more in common with his demon heritage than anyone would like to admit.
I have to say, I'm a little over all the excessive angst, but what would this series be without it? In any case, I'm impressed that Thurman 'went there' so early in the series. It takes guts to destroy a recurring supervillain like the Auphe, and I'm excited to enter 'Phase Two' of Cal and Niko's lives and see what new antagonists emerge to challenge the brothers in new ways.
I'm taking a little break from Thurman to explore some other worlds this fall, but it won't be as long of a break as it was last time. I have every intention of getting caught up with the series before the end of 2014. For now, Cal and Niko will just have to sit back and celebrate—as well as the Leandros brothers can allow themselves to celebrate anything—their victory over their enemy and the end of running.

How would you handle...:
1 Atticus Finch, Fri, 16th Dec '11 10:55:52 AM from You
readKnowing what happened when you die? Just for a morality question, since I am trying to think of different ways different people would handle it. Basically, you know that when you die, the most horrible place you go to, is basically a luxurious day spa where you receive therapy. How do you think you might moralize death, if any differently at all?
2 nekomoon 14, Fri, 16th Dec '11 12:41:47 PM from Oakland, CA
Umm... Death sucks because ghosts cannot be seen or heard or touched; they are tired but dare not sleep; they are hungry and thirsty but cannot eat or drink; they are always being hunted by the reapers; they cannot leave their remains, which smell terrible to them. As time goes by, their sight and hearing deteriorate until they are blind and deaf. They hate the living and will try to steal their bodies. Ghosts feed on fear and use it to attack the living, hoping to knock their souls out of their bodies. Ghosts can be placated - a shaman can give a ghost temporary use of his body in exchange for vows of peace. If you're a bad person, your ghost will smell bad and attract the reapers; if you're a good person, your ghost will smell pleasant and attract angels. If a ghost doesn't reincarnate within a century, he/she/it will simply cease to exist.

Easily entertainedWell, anyone with such knowledge of a guaranteed pleasant afterlife could easily leap into the (morally murky) waters of the Soul Saving Crusader. They'd look like a murderous Heroic Sociopath, Knight Templar or even Omnicidal Maniac from the outside, though. Note that I don't refer to my own reactions — I'm honestly not sure what I could do with such absolute certainty, but I don't think I'd come out sane by society's standards.

Shadowed PhilosopherIn my thinking, 'death' means Cessation of Existence. Anything less than that, and it's not death, but merely some sort of weird transition—the analogy I've seen used is one-way voyage to Australia (pre-telecommunications, of course). Killing people is much less problematic. Just a forced journey to Australia, after all. Suicide is less problematic—hell, everything becomes much easier.

I changed accounts.Life and death would be cheap, I guess. I dunno. It's an interesting question. Perhaps you should make it a goal of your story to explore the implications as a theme: what would people do if death was literally meaningless? The world would either become far better... or far, far worse...

I wouldn't say this renders death meaningless, exactly, because you've still got the basic issues of 1) it being a one-way trip and 2) the actual physical process of dying is still going to be unpleasant in most cases.

readWe don't know. I like keeping heaven ambiguous. Because as fanty showed, everyone's idea of heaven is going to be different. As for exploring the theme, I do have that, albeit a bit. Basically it shows up in the form of "do you kill your former friend if it's going to save everyone else in the long run?" It's a bit of a weak form of it, but it's there.

Short HairPoint 1: How can you be 1000% sure you know about the afterlife? Even first-hand evidence can be explained away as a vivid dream/hallucination. Point 2: How do you convince others of your received truth? Most people won't give up their belief systems even with solid proof. Almost every religion has its theory. They can't all be right, but they can all be wrong. What matters is how you live.
Under World. It rocks!

readRalph: The main plot takes place in this place. They can't leave. Much like any fantasy story, after a while, convincing yourself nothing is real is just detrimental. As for religion, thanks to plot gimmick/hook number 1, none of them remember what their own religion was, until much later. Like I said, there are very few people out of the loop, due to the focus of the story.

text: In praise of the Chromebook by John Hayward Apr 30, 2013 1:39 PM PT Share This: Print Since we've gotten a bit computer-geeky with a videogame trailer this afternoon, I thought I'd throw in a little review of the Chromebook, which I've had since March. It's one of the best tools a writer could ask for. A Chromebook is a 14" notebook computer that runs the Chrome OS, not Windows. In other words, it's dedicated entirely to running the Google Chrome browser. You can get Chrome apps for just about every productivity application, like word processing. (Aside from its bizarre lack of a decent Table of Contents function, I'm quite happy with Google Docs.) Blogging through online suites like WordPress is no problem. The basic Samsung Chromebook is cheap ($249), weighs only about 2 pounds, makes absolutely no operating noise, generates almost no heat, and runs a good 6 hours on a battery charge. It's got all the furniture of a notebook computer: USB ports, decent speakers for music, a headphone jack, etc. The keyboard is remarkably good, considering how small and light the machine is. It can connect to external monitors, run a wireless mouse, etc. The reason it's so light, quite, and cool is that it doesn't have a hard drive, although there are Chromebook variants that do. You'll never miss it. The machine has 32 gigabytes of built in storage, and it can hold an additional 32 GB SD card (the little memory cards you put in digital cameras.) One of the few design flaws is that the SD card protrudes slightly from the machine when inserted. The built-in memory is plenty for just about every application I've thrown at it. Everything else gets stored in the cloud on Google Drive, which is very convenient. You can write something on the Chromebook, then log into Google Drive from any other computer and pull it right up. Besides its light weight and long battery life, the most useful feature of the Chromebook - and this is little short of amazing - is how quickly it boots up. It only takes about 5 seconds to go from power-off to an open browser tab. It does updates automatically, and almost invisibly. On the one occasion that mine asked me to do a reboot, it was able to restart itself and re-open the half-dozen browser tabs I had been running in less than 20 seconds. The convenience of this performance compared to regular laptops or notebooks can't be oversold. The big question is whether a prospective buyer likes Chrome or not. If you hate the Chrome browser, Google Drive, the various Chrome apps, or Google in general, it's not for you. Personally, Chrome was already my browser of choice. There are some things the Chromebook actually does faster than my quad-core PC. It's terrific to have something so portable that boots up so quickly. And Google keeps improving it with those updates - I saw early reviews that said it couldn't run Netflix, but I had no problem doing so the other day. You Can Blog on It, Right? by Ace Of Spades Apr 30, 2013 3:30 PM PT Share This: Print In response to In praise of the Chromebook: I assume so, but just want to check. Blogging from the Chromebook by John Hayward Apr 30, 2013 8:08 PM PT Share This: Print In response to You Can Blog on It, Right?: Yes, absolutely. About half of everything I write these days is done on the Chromebook. It's had no problem loading WordPress or any other blogging back-end I've encountered. It also handles social media pages well, including every Twitter or Facebook app for Chrome that I've tested. There are plenty of Chrome apps you can use to capture images and prepare them for a blog post. I've been using one called Pixlr. I like it well enough to use it on my main PC as well. For word processing other than blogging, I'm generally happy with Google Docs, which does a nice job of putting the word processing features 90% of users are interested in front and center. It has an offline mode too, if you want to grab some documents into local storage before heading someplace that you won't have wifi. Chromebooks also come with a dozen free passes for in-flight wifi; I used one of them to write a blog post from 35,000 feet a couple of weeks ago. If Google Docs isn't your thing, there are several other Chrome word processing apps out there, plus other office apps like spreadsheets. I have a small wireless mouse I often use with my Chromebook, but it has an excellent built-in touchpad that has worked quite well for blogging. It's a little different than most notebook touchpads - for instance, scrolling is accomplished by brushing two fingers on the pad, instead of having a dedicated scroll area on the side. I like it better than the touchpad on any other laptop I've owned. Google is the Panopticon by Elizabeth Sheld May 1, 2013 4:27 AM PT Share This: Print In response to Blogging from the Chromebook: Just so you are all clear, Google is BIG BROTHER, tracking your every move. I am not sure I'd want a Google based operating system in addition to all the other tracking Google does via gmail, chrome, search engines, and what ever other Google apps you use. And of course there is this: How I learned to stop worrying and love the Google data bomb by John Hayward May 1, 2013 6:46 AM PT Share This: Print In response to Google is the Panopticon: Rest assured, I know all about the dark side of Google. I've had plenty of occasions to criticize Google for everything from the issues you mentioned, to their Google Doodle editorial decisions. That's why I stressed that the Chromebook is a 100% Google device, and if that's a deal-breaker, prospective users should look elsewhere. I got my Chromebook after looking into some tablet/keyboard combos to get a small, fast-booting portable system, and there are plenty of alternatives - the Asus Transformer tablets get a lot of good press. It's got a keyboard dock that boosts its battery life to something like 15 hours, which is great for writers on the go. I haven't seen a good tablet alternative that comes anywhere near the $250 Chromebook price point, though. A Transformer with keyboard dock will run you almost twice as much. Personally, I'm comforted by the notion that if Google decides to unleash the data hounds of Big Brother on my Chromebook usage, they'll discover I'm a conservative blogger. And I had about a hundred readers cheerfully tell me they reported me to Obama's Orwellian online dissident tracking operations, like Attack Watch, so it won't be Google that puts me on Dear Leader's radar screen, if I ever wind up there. advertisement Breitbart Video Picks advertisement advertisement Most Popular Fox News National Throngs of Ferguson protesters dwindle to small groups as community seeks return to normal26 Nov 2014, 9:46 PM PDT Family: 12-year-old boy would still be alive if police hadn't 'reacted quickly' and shot him26 Nov 2014, 9:46 PM PDT Global jihadists tweet in bid to recruit Ferguson protesters26 Nov 2014, 9:30 PM PDT Men allegedly plotted to bomb Gateway Arch, kill Ferguson officials, report says26 Nov 2014, 7:30 PM PDT Autopsy suggests Oklahoma beheading victim fought back against attacker with kitchen knife26 Nov 2014, 5:47 PM PDT advertisement Send A Tip Sign up for our newsletter You Deserve The Truth Sign Up for the Breitbart Daily Newsletter "The media class is the wall that we have to climb over for our voices to be heard.

I have a serious question, somebody help ! Brace or without Brace ?

Re: I have a serious question, somebody help ! Brace or without Brace ?
Hi Innocent,
I'm afraid that medical evidence pretty much agrees that bracing cannot permanently correct a spinal curve once growth is complete. In fact, there is little evidence to support the idea that bracing can permanently correct a curve in an immature spine either. Most braces aim to simply hold an existing curve and prevent it from getting worse, and even this usually requires wearing the brace for much longer than 8 hours a day (16-23 hours is the norm).
The good news is that you are young and fit and it sounds as though you enjoy exercise
there are certain types of physiotherapies that are reported to help with the cosmetic appearance of spinal curves - you might like to learn more about these. Schroth therapy is the best-known of these - you can learn about the exercises on the web, or find a registered Schroth therapist using the stickied post at the top of the nonsurgical forum. There are also special Yoga for Scoliosis instruction DVDs available (look for the name Elise Browning-Miller), and The Alexander Technique can be very beneficial for postural problems.
If your curve is truly postural kyphosis then exercises could potentially help a great deal, as the curve should resolve completely if you consciously hold your spine straight. If your curve is structural then things will be more difficult. The most common type of kyphosis, Scheuermann's Kyphosis, is caused by the vertebrae being wedge-shaped and exercise has limited potential for correcting this because there is little you can do to change the shape of the bones.
If you do decide to try a brace, remember to keep exercising as much as possible because bracing can cause the muscles to weaken if you aren't careful.
Good luck with whatever you decide to do! We will support you whatever your choice.

Casting and Milwaukee braces until surgery at 10 - ant release/pos fusion T1-T12, halo traction. Post op cast and then TLSO. Further surgery at 18 (ant release/pos fusion extended to L3 to include lumbar curve, costoplasty) and 25 (another costoplasty). Fusion extended to L4 at 33 (XLIF with 4 pedicle screws and two short rods). Pre-op curves: 76(T) and 70(L). Post-op curves: 45(T) and 35(L). Diagnosed with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome aged 34; scoliosis almost certainly due to this rather than being idiopathic.

It began when a friend looked at my new checkbook cover and asked, "I wonder how many 'naugas' have to give up their lives for those?" By that she meant, how many naugas' hides had to be collected to satisfy the warped tastes of people who want their checkbook covers, car seat covers, and sofa covers made of them. (Some purists insist on spelling the word "naugahyde").
Gun safety training is the backbone of the shooting sports, and no matter how much training we have had, it pays to relearn those vital lessons from time to time. Shooters who err in this virtually always violate one or more of the fundamental rules of gun safety: Always keep the gun pointed in a safe direction. Always keep your finger off the trigger until ready to shoot. Always keep the gun unloaded until ready to use.
Back when life was mellow, I read a book by Robert Ruark called "Use Enough Gun," which pretty much describes it. Ruark also wrote "The Old Man and the Boy," which should be required reading for every young person. It conveys a lot of wisdom about people, guns, hunting and dogs. Once, when the old man was warming a park bench and was asked why he wasn't doing anything, he replied, "I'm storing up for the future." That's a nice all-purpose answer that fits many situations.
Most outdoor presents to others, of course, are really gifts we would like someone to give us. And with children (who need us to supervise them), the presents are really for ourselves.

When I saw this week's episode, it struck a chord in me of how real this show is.
We start in Villa Blanca on the night that Kyle and I had planned to have dinner, which is certainly a rare occasion, especially when you are married and lead such busy lives. It is not always that easy to take time out and catch up, and trying to do that in my own restaurant is a difficult task to say the very least. So we proceeded to chat and lo and behold Kyle receives a text!
I have always maintained that one of the reasons for our rapid decline as a group was the fact that Taylor had instigated the problems in New York, That never sat well with me (and at some stage later I do pull her aside). Now was I pleased when she announced to Kyle that she was coming to join us wanting to discuss her marital problems? Ummm, let me think about that for a moment...no. Also Kyle warned me not to mention New York as she felt that on this particular occasion Taylor wanted to open up to us, and that it would get complicated to include the previous fiasco.
So Taylor arrives, and I sit there supremely irritated at her hand holding and giggling. I don't know maybe it was ridiculous of me to show my irritation, but there you have it. That is exactly what I mean about the reality of this show.
I like all the women, but Taylor running to Camille and repeating what Kim had said, always stayed in the back of my mind...

The Magic Flute (2006)
Movie Info
Acclaimed director Kenneth Branagh skillfully lifts one of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's most beloved works from its original fairy-tale setting and places it against the backdrop of the First World War with this impassioned English-language adaptation staged to coincide with the 250th anniversary of the master composer's birth. Tamino (Joseph Kaiser) has been wounded in battle, but his life is saved when he is subsequently rescued by three kindly field nurses. Papageno (Benjamin Jay Davis) is a bird keeper whose mission it is to check the trenches for dangerous gasses. Upon seeing a picture of the lovely Pamina (Amy Carson) and instantly falling in love with the girl, Tamino makes it his mission in life to save his treasured beauty from the clutches of nefarious kidnapper Sarastro (Rene Pape). Tamino won't be alone on his dangerous mission, though, because the noble Papageno, who has determined to rescue his own true love, has vowed to fight alongside the smitten soldier right to the bitter end. An imaginative new adaptation of one of Mozart's most beloved operas, Branagh's variation on +The Magic Flute features newly adapted libretto by Stephen Fry, musical direction by James Conlon, and an unforgettable score skillfully performed by the Chamber Orchestra of Europe. … More

Critic Reviews for The Magic Flute
All Critics (21) | Top Critics (5) | Fresh (15) | Rotten (6)
The results are often fascinating (I love the duet of the Armed Men, sung by a chorus of faces animated out of a wall of sandbags), sometimes ludicrous and never boring.
In the end, love triumphs. In this movie, the music triumphs, proving again that a true masterpiece can survive all kinds of meddling.
Apart from a fascination with the hate-spitting mouth and throat of Lyubov Petrova's vocally pyrotechnic Queen of the Night, the visual gimmicks are individually tolerable. But they don't add up to anything particular.
Opera buffs shouldn't throw away their DVDs of Ingmar Bergman's 1975 TV movie.
Even though there were moments in The Magic Flute when I wondered if Branagh hadn't truly gone off his rocker, I found its audacity exhilarating.
Like the Beatles' "Yellow Submarine," it's all about the marriage of music and images.
It dwells quite happily somewhere in the no-man's-land between "Perfect" and "Perfectly Enjoyable."
Kenneth Branagh's adaptation of Mozart's opera The Magic Flute comes on strong ... maybe too strong...
A week is a long time in cinema. Last Friday saw Branagh being all but written off thanks to the ludicrous Sleuth. This week, he's hitting the high notes.
His flamboyant rendering of the Mozart opera isn't as smug and stagey as Sleuth, but it is insufferable - and 40 minutes longer.
With James Conlon conducting, this Flute is perfectly in tune - so it's a shame Branagh keeps dropping it in the mud.
The film is fresh, spectacular and unafraid to be called philistine.
A genial and good-natured production with much spectacle and entertainment to offer, and, like all of Branagh's classical revivals on celluloid, it manages to be high-minded and yet accessible.
Despite the talent involved - Branagh is joined by Stephen Fry, who has written a new libretto - and the ambitious staging, this flute blows all right, but it's short on the magic.
Flashes of inspiration but not enough, one suspects, to cause a stampeding horde of cinemagoers to beat down the doors of the Royal Opera House.
It's an impressive undertaking by Branagh but a rather pointless one.
A huge budget allows for spectacular CGI sequences and Branagh concocts some startlingly inspired ways to accompany Mozart's music in visuals.
Branagh's imagery is imaginative and the music lifts you. A neat trick.
Although Branagh has done a good job of toning down the opera's more ridiculous elements, what remains will test even the most willing opera virgin.
Audience Reviews for The Magic Flute
In this adaptation of Mozart's classic opera, Tamino is fights for his love in World War I era trenches.
Kenneth Brannagh, whose Shakespearean adaptations don't always use the advantages of film, makes up for it in this rendition of Mozart's opera. Visual effects abound in Brannagh's best imitation of Julie Taymor, and while some of them are effective, most of the visual stylings do little to advance the plot even though they're fun to look at. The acting and the singing are the real highlights of this film; many of the actors, particularly Benjamin Jay Davis, are able to satisfy the high demands of opera while focusing their work for the film.
Overall, I enjoyed this film even though Brannagh is no Julie Taymor.

US continues airstrikes on Islamic State militants
By Michael Hernandez, Tuesday, August 12, 2014
WASHINGTON, D.C. - The U.S. continued its aerial bombardment of Islamic State militants Monday, targeting vehicles and checkpoints belonging to the group in northern Iraq.
Three checkpoints, one armed personnel carrier, one Humvee, two armed trucks, and another Islamic State truck were destroyed, according to the U.S. Central Command. A fourth checkpoint was damaged during the airstrikes.
They were carried out from roughly 5:10 p.m. GMT to 8:30 p.m. GMT by U.S. fighter jets.
An additional Islamic State checkpoint was damaged in a strike.
U.S. President Barack Obama authorized the U.S. military to carry out airstrikes on the Islamic State last week in support of U.S. personnel in the northern Iraqi city of Erbil, and forces in Iraq.
On Saturday, President Obama warned it was "going to take some time" to help stabilize Iraq in the face of the insurgency.
The violence in Iraq escalated in early June after a coalition of armed groups linked to the Islamic State, formerly known as the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, or ISIL, took control of large swathes of the country's predominantly Sunni provinces.
The Iraqi army has staged military operations against IS-led militants.
Over a million civilians have been displaced so far amid the ongoing clashes in the north and west of the country.
