It's been years since the end of Fox's fan-adored cult comedy Arrested Development, but the rise of Netflix and re-watching seasons repeatedly on DVD has finally paid off:
Arrested Development is back on Netflix, you blowhards!
And it's fantastic.
In a spin from the original format of the show, each of the 15 episodes focuses on one specific Bluth (or Fünke) as they navigate life after the initial series ended. Life is never easy for the Bluths, with some hitting their rock bottom (and others getting trapped in rocks). There's temptation to consider jumping around to get to your favorite character's episode,
but don't.
It's hard to wait and the pacing is slower, but watching in order is vital for the story, which builds on each episode and stacks up the classic recurring gags (and great guest stars). I'd give you examples but I really don't want to spoil anything; it's too good. But I will say the Gob-centric episode seven is the series highlight for me.
(Except for this gem of a scene. It's still funny the second time, promise.)
Season four of Arrested Development is a masterfully interwoven tale, with amazing artistry of continuity and layered storytelling. It takes the favorite jokes of the original series but adds in new quotables we'll start using constantly (welcome back, "hot mess!").
When I started watching, it honestly felt like this hazy dream I made up because show resurrections like this don't typically happen.
The final episode leaves you craving more Bluths and the possible full-length movie feature follow-up. Now I wish I could pop a Forget-Me-Now and watch this season again, reliving its comedic genius as if I'd never seen it. But instead, I'll remember this first-time screening and, in repeat screenings, discover even more hidden gems of the sort that make Arrested Development an iconic comedy classic.

Professor to attend anti-terrorism studies program in Israel
Thomas Ambrosio, professor of criminal justice and political science, was named an "academic fellow" for 2012-13 by the Foundation for the Defense of Democracies, a non-partisan policy institute headquartered in Washington, D.C. Ambrosio will travel to Israel at the end of May for an intensive course in terrorism studies, and in particular, how democracies can defeat the worldwide terrorist threat.
"Terrorism is the greatest threat today to the world's democracies, including the United States and our allies around the globe," said Clifford May, president of the foundation. "To win the war against terrorism, we must win the war of ideas by promoting democracy and defeating the totalitarian ideologies that drive and justify terrorism."
The Academic Fellows program provides a 10-day learning experience to U.S.-based teaching and research professionals to provide them with the latest information about defeating terrorist groups. The 2012 program, which will be conducted at Tel Aviv University from May 27 to June 6, includes lectures by academics, military and intelligence officials, as well as diplomats from Israel, Jordan, India and the United States. It also includes visits to police, customs and immigration facilities, military bases and border zones to learn the practical side of deterring and defeating terrorists.
"I am very much looking forward to the opportunity to listen and participate in the exchanges and interactions which we will all have in Israel," Ambrosio said. "It should be useful experience for a course I plan to teach on international terrorism next year and other related academic activities."
For more information on the foundation, contact Dana Murphy, campus programs coordinator, at 202-207-0190.
NDSU is a top-ranked research institution that combines teaching and research in a rich learning environment.

Four more days to Enchanting Indonesia 2011 and we can't wait to see you all! As we are all preparing and making sure that things will go on smoothly, we're still updating for you guys on what to see at the event! For this post, we are going to know more about the incredible Tari Piring from Minangkabau!
Originated in a town called Solok in the province of West Sumatra, Tari Piring is one of the most enchanting traditional dances of Indonesia. Piriang, as it is called in its original Minangkabau language,symbolizes the farmer's joy for a successful harvest.
Tari Piring literally means plate (piring) dance (tari). It is the cultural dance of the Minangkabau people, influenced by the late Pagaruyung Kingdom, which ruled West Sumatra in the 14th century.
The dance ritual was originally performed by young ladies and men carrying food on the plates, to give thanks to the God for a successful harvest. Nowadays, this fast tempo dance is performed with dancers with only plates on each of their hands.
Depending on the choreography, the plates would sometimes be thrown into the air and the dancers will let them hit the ground to be broken into pieces. The dancers would then, without fear, step or jump or even roll around the broken glass without injuring themselves. This action of people leaping into piles of broken glass is considered to be the magic of Tari Piring.
Depending on the purpose of performing this dance, Tari Piring can have many different variations. These days, it is performed on public events, such as wedding parties, cultural events, etc. Some of thewell-known variations include Tupai Bagaluik (the moving raccoon), bagalombang (waving/curling), andaka malikik.
Throughout the performance, the dance is accompanied by traditional Minangkabau music, such astalempong (similar to the Javanese gamelan), bansi, puput, salung (a flute that is usually made from bamboo, reed or rice stalks), etc. The music starts off slow and soft but it gets faster with time. The music is a crucial element in Tari Piring since it directs the dancers to move in a certain way.

Starting today until the 2nd of July, we will be bringing you updates on what you'll experience at the biggest Indonesian tourism exhibition and cultural performances in Singapore, Enchanting Indonesia!
As we are getting nearer to the 2nd of July, the list of the traditional dances which will be performed at the event is almost complete! Hundreds of performers are going to fly all the way to Singapore, straight from their native land to perform for the Singapore audience and we promise you that they will be spectacular!
Today we are going to share one of the many famous Indonesian dances and this one comes all the way from Aceh in Sumatra!
Yes it's the Saman Dance!
When you come across an Indonesian cultural performance in any international exhibition, it is very much likely that Acehnese vibrant traditional dance, the Saman Dance, would be one of the assorted cultural splendors put on stage. Mostly comparable with any Balinese dance, Saman Dance is one of the sweethearts of Indonesian performing arts, often acts as an ambassador of exceptional Indonesian dances.
Created by a native Acehnese, a religious leader named Sheikh Saman around the 16th century, the dance is widely known as indigenous to the Gayo society as it was born in Central Aceh. Many modern societies in Asian, Australian, and European nations have adopted its harmonious and impulsive mechanism. However, the originality and authenticity of the dance can never be imitated when the essence is always in Aceh.
Performed by a group of dancers wearing mostly colorful and bright traditional uniform, the dance is a development of an art of Acehnese dance called Pok Pok Ane. It is a singing of a poem, combined with claps of hands, pats on chest, and thigh slaps. The movements are so harmonious and sometimes vigorous that would leave the spectators in awe. Saman Dance is truly an entertaining performance that only beautiful minds can create such exquisite and artful techniques.
Watch this video of the Saman Dance being performed at Orchard Road as a part of the 'Asian Showcase' of the 2009 Singapore Arts Festival:

There is nothing like a dame…
Were I the woman in charge of sorting out the tunes at Liverpool Philharmonic Hall on Monday evening last, when Dame Tanni Grey-Thompson gave a lecture, I wouldn't have chosen the selected theme from Chariots of Fire, but this tune from South Pacific. Hammy I know, but that's me.
Tanni G-T is an amazing woman, has achieved so much in sport and now sits in the House of Lords. Her disability was an obvious obstacle to overcome, but I was intrigued to hear she tried out about sixteen different sports before settling on wheelchair racing (apparently she was "too aggressive" for contact sports), and though she loved her chosen sport, she lost her first races, but just got better and faster, as she practiced her craft.
An example to us all on that one, I think.
Thanks to Liverpool John Moores University for this excellent Roscoe Lecture, podcast via this page over the next week or so.

An O-Ball. It's easy for him to grab and it's fun to watch him try and eat it!

Within the past few weeks Nolan has become really "grabby". Anything he can grab on to and jiggle around seems to make him happy. He's on my lap right now playing with a catapillar rattle. :) He likes to hug and roll around with a stuffed tiger my husband picked up for him. He also likes the O ball, I think because he can easily get both hands on it and hang on. Watching him play with his toys is such a joy!

MANKATO, Minn. -- Got a solution to the Vikings' problem with birds hitting the new stadium and dying.
Let's think about this. Birds flying into building. Legendary coach who loves shooting birds. That's it!
Put Bud Grant out in front of the stadium. The man is known to be a little miserly. All you have to do is give him $50 bucks, a tank of gas, and free shotgun shells.
Birds fly toward stadium. Bud lets loose. Dinner for everyone.
What could go wrong?
Why would the Vikings sign tight end Kyle Rudolph to a $36.5 million contract?
Because they have big plans.
After spending three days with the team in Mankato, what struck me is that this team, after a couple decades of turmoil, has a chance to be somewhat stable.
Denny Green won a lot of games, but the organization was never calm when he was around.
Mike Tice was turmoil personified. Brad Childress was constantly battling with quarterbacks or bosses. Leslie Frazier was a calm and wonderful human, but he wasn't hired by the general manager who runs the team, so he was always in limbo.
Now you have a head coach hired by the general manager he works for who cares about nothing other than winning games. You have a coaching staff that Vikings employees say is already making a difference. And one of those coaches, offensive coordinator Norv Turner, is capable of building one of the best offenses in the NFL out of the parts he's assembling.
The worst contracts in sports are those that reward what a player has already done. This one projects what the Vikings expect Rudolph to do.
Rudolph has been a very good player. He has not been a star. In Turner's offense, he could become one.
Jay Novacek played five seasons in the NFL before playing in Turner's offense in Dallas. His best season pre-Norv: 38 catches, 569 yards, four touchdowns.
His first season with Norv and a budding offense: 59-657-4. His best season with Norv: 68-630-6.
Rudolph is bigger and stronger than Novacek, and about as fast. Turner spoke this weekend about teaching Rudolph to run more fluid routes, which should enable him to get deep more often, and to catch the ball in stride and run with it more often.
Assuming decent quarterback play, Rudolph could have a breakout season this year, or next.
Wrote about receiver Erik Lora for today's editions. Other interesting or emerging players to watch: Cornerback Jabari Price, safety Robert Blanton, guard David Yankey.
Key player to watch? Maybe Sharrif Floyd. He's lighter this year. I don't know if that's a sign that he's hungry and in better shape, or a desperate move for a player who didn't make an impact as a rookie.
I'll be on 1500ESPN-AM today and every weekday at 12:15 with Mackey&Judd. I'm on WJON at 7:05 a.m. with Jay Caldwell in St. Cloud every morning. My Sunday show, Sunday Sports Talk, airs 10-noon on 1500ESPN. Sincere thanks for reading and listening.
Mankato --
First impressions from the Vikings' first day of practices:
-Mike Zimmer is a no-nonsense guy. Get the sense he's going to be both very honest and very controlled about the information he gives out. I don't think he's going to try to mislead anybody, but he may not be all that forthcoming.
-Harrison Smith's flexibility might be a key to this defense. He moved around a lot during practice, sometimes lining up as a quasi-linebacker. Given Zimmer's varied defensive schemes, Smith could end up playing as a third safety or fourth linebacker in certain situations.
-Norv Turner has talked about throwing the ball more to Adrian Peterson. For what it's worth, Peterson had a lousy day trying to catch the ball. I'm guessing that at this stage of his career he's not too keen on training camp practices.
-Zimmer said defensive tackle Linval Joseph can bench-press 500 pounds.
-Wasn't as much cussing on the field as I expected, given Zimmer's outbursts during Hard Knocks, and Turner's verbosity during OTAs. Or maybe they were cussing more quietly.
-Adam Thielen of Minnesota State-Mankato made a diving catch and may be elected mayor soon.
-Teddy Bridgewater is a very pleasant and composed young man.
-Christian Ponder, in non-contact scrimmage, repeatedly pulled down the ball and ran. Why? Why?
-Matt Cassel did not look good throwing the ball deep on Day 1.
-The Vikings wisely had everyone involved in the Kluwe investigation answer questions about it on Thursday. That meant nobody was asking about it on Friday. That is the best way to handle a PR nightmare - turn it into a one-day story, make everyone available on the same day, and give yourself, as an organization, the right to say the rest of camp: ``We've already answered those questions.''
It also didn't hurt the Vikings that their day of access on the topic occured while Ray Rice was receiving just a two-game suspension for hitting his wife, and that Chuck Knoblauch's induction to the Twins' Hall of Fame was cancelled because of his arrest on domestic assault charges.
-Of course, the Star Tribune print edition, Startribune.com, Access Vikings The Blog, and Master Tesfasion's videos will cover these subjects more voluminously.
I'll be writing columns from Mankato for the next three days. First topic: How did this team manage to win just five games last year, and what does that mean for this year?
I'll be on 1500ESPN-AM 10-noon on Sunday for SundaySportsTalk with Korzo and Hunter.
I like what the Vikings did in the draft.
Of course, I love what Cleveland did, so maybe I've finally, completely, lost it.
Getting a quality pass rusher and a potential franchise quarterback on the first night of the draft? If that's what the Vikings accomplished on Thursday night, this draft will be remembered for a long time.
Anthony Barr is a talented athlete who seems grounded. He stayed at his California home so he could share the moment with family and friends intead of flying to New York to hang with Johnny Football. He's fast. He's still learning. If you're going to hire Mike Zimmer as your head coach, these are the kinds of players you should give him.
But we all know that GM Rick Spielman trading for the last pick in the first round and taking Teddy Bridgewater will determine how this draft is remembered, and how Spielman's tenure is remembered.
Remember, Bridgewater was considered a likely top pick in the draft as recently as last fall. When he threw poorly at his Pro Day workout, his stock slipped dramatically.
That's what I found most interesting tonight: The Vikings' explanations for dismissing that Pro Day performance.
Spielman said he set up a subsequent workout with Bridgewater, and saw Bridgewater throw much better after a few tips from offensive coordinator Norv Turner.
I trust Turner when it comes to evaluating quarterbacks. Is the pick a risk? Yes, because every quarterback picked since John Elway, with the possible exception of Andrew Luck, carried some risk. But I like Bridgewater's accuracy and tenacity. He's got a chance to succeed.
Found it interesting that Spielman praised Zimmer and his staff's ability to teach technique when working with players this spring. I took that as a direct shot at Leslie Frazier's staff.
Weird writing about something other than hockey. I'll be back with the Wild on Friday night for Game 4, then traveling to Chicago for Game 5. I'll be on WJON in St. Cloud at 7:15 a.m. Friday, and on 1500ESPN in the Twin Cities at 12:15ish. My Twitter handle is @Souhanstrib.
Rick Spielman had his choice of coaches, and types of coaches, when he began his search after firing Leslie Frazier.
He chose Mike Zimmer, a longtime defensive coordinator with a knack for getting players to achieve their potential.
This is why the Vikings' signing of Everson Griffen should not surprise anyone. Griffen is a talented player who has not fulfilled his potential. You can imagine Spielman, while doing his due diligence and interviewing Zimmer, having an ``Aha'' moment.
In that moment, Spielman envisioned Griffen becoming a dangerous every-down pass rusher, and easing the loss of Jared Allen. That is probably the moment Spielman decided to hire Zimmer.
Zimmer hasn't had a chance to make many decisions that will shape his tenure as Vikings head caoch. Two he has made stand out:
1. He encouraged Spielman to spend big money on Griffen.
2. He handed his offense to Norv Turner.
Zimmer's reputation will eventually be formed by his game management skills and his - and Spielman's - ability to find and develop the right quarterback.
So far, we can give him kudos for hiring Turner, and acknowledge that he was brought here to wring improvement from players like Griffen.
I'll be on WJON in St. Cloud at 7:15 a.m. all week,and on @1500ESPN at 12:15 or so. I'll have a column on the Gopher basketball finale in the Monday paper. You can follow me on Twitter at @Souhanstrib.
The Vikings' hiring of Mike Zimmer isn't going to fuel the imagination, the way Chip Kelly did in Philadelphia, or win any virtual awards for the best hiring of the offseason. This is a routine NFL hire, a team that struggled on defense hiring a defensive expert to breathe life into the team.
That said, I like the hire. He's succeeded as a coordinator in a lot of places, with different schemes and different talent levels. He's turned long shots into stars. He's motivated players. At 57, he's both tough and mature.
In the brief time since his hiring was announced, many of his former players have tweeted their excitement.
Zimmer is known for creative defenses and creative use of the language. Those who saw him on Hard Knocks know he can cuss like a late-night cable comedian.
I believed Leslie Fraizer would have won if he had been given a good quarterback and good cornerbacks. Zimmer will need Rick Spielman to find him a good quarterback, and he'll need to either hide the Vikings' defensive flaws or overhaul the entire unit.
Given the nature of the NFL, if Zimmer can handle the rigors of being an NFL head coach, he could contend in his first year. The Vikings have plenty of offensive talent and plenty of young talent. Whether or not he wins the press conference, Zimmer will have a chance to win next season, assuming the Vikings' quarterback position is functional.
I'll have more expansive thoughts in the column I'm writing for tomorrow's paper and Startribune.com.
You can follow me on Twitter at @Souhanstrib.
I'll be on 1500ESPN at noon with Judd Zulgad to discuss the hire, and we'll continue the discussion on Sunday Sports Talk, 10-noon, on 1500ESPN.
Thanks for reading.

Plasma shock waves
Launched by two Russian rockets in the summer 2000, the four Cluster spacecraft then used their own thrusters to get to an elliptical orbit with a closest distance to the Earth of nearly 20 000 km, and getting as far away as nearly 120 000 km: nearly a third of the distance to the moon. Cluster?s task is to sample the Earth?s magnetosphere.
Cluster senses many different physical processes, including the shockwave generated when the solar wind slams into the Earth. Our planet and its magnetic field are an obstacle to the supersonic plasma as it flows away from the Sun. Therefore a 'bow shock' forms to slow down and deflect the plasma around the Earth.
Shocks form wherever an obstacle sits in a supersonic plasma flow. The Hubble space telescope has captured images of a bow shock, about 0.25 light years across, formed ahead of a star ploughing through the Orion Nebula. Astrophysical shocks are very energetic (they're the source of some of the highest-energy particles we know about) but to understand how those particles get such huge amounts of energy, we need to know more in general about how shocks work in plasmas. The Earth's bow shock is a good case to study, because it's close enough that we can get plenty of information back about the physics happening there.
Cluster is not the first spacecraft to visit the Earth's magnetosphere. So what makes it so different? The answer is that the four spacecraft fly in close formation, giving us four tracks through whatever physical process is happening around the spacecraft. It's therefore possible to sample a volume of space and make measurements in three-dimensions. Imperial College, London developed 3-axis magnetometers, University College London's Mullard Space Science Laboratory designed and built electron detectors and Sheffield University developed the wave processors for each satellite.

I'm always right and the world is wrong............
Find a Conversation
|Sun, 04-13-2014 - 5:02pm
..........according to him. Hi everyone. I am new here but feel like I'm going crazy but then I realize that I don't think it's me!
I really don't. Sometimes the way I handle issues isn't very grown up (I'm 53) but I despise confrontation. I met my man on
match.com in December of 2009. He is four years younger than me. We fell in love quickly and in March of 2012 we got engaged.
I have two sons who are 12 years apart in age, both born in my marriage to their father. The younger one is now 16 and lives with me.
He is in one of the best public high schools in the State so I told my fiance that it would be a long engagement as I do not want to move
out of this town until he graduates in June of 2015. That was fine, we aren't in a hurry but we do want to be able to spend all our available
time together. He lives about 50 minutes from me in another state and usually we only see each other on weekends. He used to come over
during the week but stopped doing that a little over a year ago. Anyway...........in March we had a tiff and he blew me off for almost two weeks. Our
usual way of communication is he calls me in the evening and hangs up. I get unlimited long distance on my home phone so i call him back and
we talk for a little while. This is the way it ALWAYS is. Well, in March we had the tiff and he didn't call me. After a week of waiting I texted him and he told me
that the phone works both ways. I said funny how you only say that when you're not happy with me. He blew off my son's performance with his language
class at school, he was supposed to come with me. No call, nothing but since he stopped communicating I suppose he figured he didn't have to
show up. This upset me because it's my son, not me, that was depending on him being there. Anyway, he ended up showing back up and we never
talked about what went wrong. Things were ok for a couple weeks, he cooked me dinner and baked me a cake for my birthday. Then last weekend it
all went wrong again. He is a contractor so we spend a lot of time at Home Depot getting prices on the weekend. I don't mind going along. He knew that I
wanted to get some potting soil there for a couple of weeks (for my container garden) but because the weather was horrible and we had almost 6" of rain in
one weekend......it had to wait so I asked him if we could stop in the garden shop when he was done. I walked around patiently waiting for him to do what he
needed to get done and we got in his truck and I THOUGHT he was driving over to the garden section but he kept going on out of the parking lot. So, I just
said, Oh, I guess I can come back with A (my son) to get the dirt. He offered to go back but I declined as we had plans to go hiking and I wanted to just go. Well,
he went off on me like there's no tomorrow! He yelled at me something about what is the difference if you pay $1 more or $1 less for DIRT???? I told him it didn't matter,
I just wanted to get some so I can get my seeds started. The rest of the day was not fun. I closed down a little because I was verbally attacked and it's hard
for me to be happy go lucky when someone just screamed at me over bags of dirt. We hardly spoke the whole 4 mile hike, the ride up and back too. When we got
back to my house he packed his bag and said goodbye and left. No hug or kiss or anything.
Should I have called him?
He seems to think i should have.
I texted him on Wednesday saying I know he is stressed but we are on the same team, or so I thought. I told him that I did not deserve him
yelling at me over a bag of dirt and that he can be such a bully and I DON'T have to take it and I WON'T.
His response was that I had one thing to remember and I forgot and that was his fault. That I am always the victim and am always right
and the world is wrong.
I told him that I didn't forget, he did. After I patiently waited for him.
He said and I quote "you didn't have to go with me...I would have been gone and back before you even woke up so who waited for who?"
Well, EXCUSE me if I don't get up at 5:00 a.m. on weekends. It was never a problem before for me to sleep till 8 or so. I told him he was a jerk and that I
wanted to go and that I thought we'd do our errands together. An hour later I apologized for calling him a jerk and it was uncalled for. I told him that if he
was trying to hurt me with his comments then to consider himself successful.
Have not heard from him since. I have spent the weekend by myself. I have managed to occupy myself all weekend but this bugs me. Did I do or
say something wrong? Is it me? If it is........I need to know. I am seriously thinking of calling off the wedding. I did take my ring off last night but I put it
back on.
Please help. I'm a crazy person. Apparently.
|Sun, 04-13-2014 - 5:34pm
This guy sounds uncomfortably like my ex. The smallest thing would set him off and he would sulk if he didn't get his way. He hardly ever said he was sorry--he'd give me the silent treatment and then I would always end up apologizing to him even if I didn't do anything wrong. Or after he got over whatever it was, he'd just start acting like everything was normal but we would never discuss the event that happened. I just would not want to be married to someone like this again--it's very childish behavior and definitely lacking in communication.
I do wonder though why if you were at the store and you realized that he was forgetting the soil, you didn't remind him or take him up on his offer to go back and get it. Or did you think he'd get angry if you made him go back? I really don't like his way of putting you down though. This does not sound like a good basis for a marriage when the 2 of you can't communicate or resolve differences in a healthy way.

I thought that he was driving over to the garden section and we'd get out and look for it. As soon as he drove by it I mentioned it and said I'd come back with my son. He offered to go back but it would have been a pain for him to turn around and go back and I could just go back with my son. Also, we had plans to go hiking, we hike every weekend. It was a longer hike that wasn't closeby so I just wanted to move on. I calmly told him it was ok but that's when he went off on me about the $1 more or a $1 less. I calmly responded to that but was upset at being hollered at over dirt. SERIOUSLY? I wasn't happy the rest of the day as I thought he should have apologized but he never did. As soon as we got back he packed his bag and left without hugging or kissing me. I did try to take the high road again and text him first after two days of being ignored but that got ugly really fast so I am riding it out. I do plan on sitting him down and telling him exactly how I feel about this childish behavior. I don't appreciate how it's always my fault. We never used to argue at all. i don't know what is wrong with him but he needs to get over it quickly. I don't NEED to get married. I wanted to but now I'm not so sure. thanks for your imput

It must be wonderful to be PERFECT.....while the rest of the world is completely screwed up! And you're planning to marry Mr.Perfect why? So you will be his "legal" punching bag? So far not physically, but very much emotionally and verbally, and more often than not, this kind of thing will eventually get physical, too. In HIS estimation he's always right.....but I doubt if very many other people would agree with him. You don't like confrontation (who does?) which is why he's with you.......because you allow him to walk all over you. If you stood up to him, he probably would have been gone long ago. After one of your "tiffs" he showed up at your son's performance, but you never talked about what was wrong? Pretending it didn't happen is NOT going to keep it from happening again......and it has happened again and again. And that 50 minute drive? Wow! Many people make that commute every day to their job.....and he can't make it except on the weekends? Why are you wasting your time with this jerk? You have wasted 5 years of your life......and it's time to move on. It's not going to get better.......He's a jerk, and you need to tell yourself that being alone would be better than being with a conrolling egotistical self-important fool like this. You need to tell yourself that you deserve to be treated with dignity and respect......and you're not going to settle for less. He is WAYYYY less!

Well, sounds like you two may need to sit down as calm rational adults and talk about this. Communication is key in relationships, especially marriage. You have to be able figure out if the relationship is going to continue or if it has run it's course. Good luck!
|Tue, 04-15-2014 - 6:21pm
I don't know if you said or did something wrong, but if you did, well you're human and we make mistakes. Your fiance's reaction seems to be way overboard. First yelling at you (because he forgot about the garden center and you didn't remind him which could be equal blame) and then leaving your house in a huff. Unfortunately there seems to be a pattern developing of this kind of behavior.
He's in his late 40s, has he ever been married? If so, why did the marriage fail? Just wondering if he has a history of anger issues or is controlling etc. Did this treatment just start a month ago or has it been going on for longer and getting worse recently?
There are communication problems here but there may be more to it. I would not marry him with these kinds of outbursts because its not going to get better after the wedding. You both need to be able to say what is bothering you without yelling or blaming, and to resolve your differences without going off in a huff or long punishing silences. He needs to deal with stress without taking it out on you. It may take professional help, and definitely takes a willingness to change and improve by both parties. If he doesn't want to go through all of that then there's not a good future for you as a couple, unless you want to endure this treatment forever.

I mentioned it as we left the parking lot. I did not yell, I was not sarcastic or mean. He offered to go back but we were on our way out hiking so I just told him that I'd go back with my son to get the dirt. That's when he ranted about it. I responded calmly to his rant.
He is turning 48 next month and has never been married. He was in an almost 20 year relationship with his son's mother. She cheated on him and they broke up. I have to say that I don't know what is wrong and why he is behaving like this. We've had our differences in the past but not like this. It makes me wonder what is up, if anything. I seriously do not diserve this "punishment" and I am very upset. I have still not heard a word from him. Only when I texted him last week and he was sarcastic and rude. I told him that I loved him. For the record, I don't yell at him. I don't think I ever have. My ex husband yelled at me for almost our entire marriage and yes, I yelled back but I don't do that any more. My fiance doesn't really yell at me but he can get sarcastic and he does raise his voice. I do agree that we need to work on our communication. BIG TIME. As of right now, I will not be making any wedding plans until this is resolved and we have better communication. That is IF he contacts me.
I was adament that I was not going to contact him after my last attempt but now I am so very sad and this needs to be resolved. I don't think ignoring each other is the answer. I just have a hard time making the first move as I was not the one that started it.
Oh, what to do??

It looks like you are with the worlds oldest baby at 48 years old. It seems you have finally found the real him after all the time you have been together. If you stay with him, you better gear up for a lifetime of this type of behavior. I think you are finding out that it is just not going to work out with thim. Very difficult for someone to radically change ones behavior at this point in their lives. Right now you have an untenable and unworkable situation, there is just no way you can spend the rest of your life with him unless he does a major 180. It just really seems unlikely that he will be able to accomplish that.

Mariwan Halabjaee, the Salman Rushdie of Iraqi Kurdistan, Threatened by Mullah Krekar
As reported in Aftenposten and Dagbladet, in September 2008 Mullah Krekar threatened to kill Mariwan Halabjaee in an audio file published on the Kurdish website Renesans.nu. Mullah Krekar was the original leader of the Islamist terrorist group Ansar al-Islam in Iraq.
Mr. Halabjaee is the author of the book Sex, Sharia and Women in the History of Islam. The allegedly "blasphemous" book is about how Islam is allegedly used to oppress women. Mullah Krekar compared Mr. Halabjaee with, among others, Salman Rushdie and Ayaan Hirsi Ali.
Mr. Halabjaee was forced to flee to Norway from Iraqi Kurdistan because the Islamic League of Kurdistan issued a fatwa to kill him. In August 2006, Mr. Halabjaee was granted political asylum in Norway. In December 2007, Mr. Halabjaee was convicted in absentia in Iraqi Kurdistan for the crime of blasphemy.
Ironically, Mullah Krekar, like Mr. Halabjaee, currently resides in Norway as a refugee. Since February 2003 Mullah Krekar has had an expulsion order against him in Norway. The order has been suspended, however, pending Iraqi government guarantees that Mullah Krekar will not face torture or execution.

SYSTEM OF FINGER MILLET (RAGI) INTENSIFICATION (a 'second SRI')
- SRI Concepts and Methods Applied to Finger Millet -
About the System of Finger Millet (Ragi) Intensification
Application of System of Rice Intensification concepts and methods to the growing of finger millet, known in much of India as ragi, was one of the first extensions of SRI thinking, starting in India, but then also undertaken in Ethiopia. Finger millet is a major cereal crop for the poor in both South Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa. (Unfortunately, there have not been SRI adaptations tried much with sorghum, a close relative of millet, but this is now starting in Ethiopia.) Ragi has been cultivated in India, and especially in the south Indian state of Karnataka, for thousands of years. However, over the last three decades, this crop has been in decline according to an article in InfoChange. The low price of ragi in the market has reportedly forced farmers to shift to cash crop cultivation and the trend is towards growing cash crops rather than ensuring your own food security. This has been compounded by the fact that the government provides subsidies for cash crop cultivation but none for food crops. Hopefully, a System of Finger Millet (Ragi) Intensification help make this crop more productive.

[Kannada language video about the finger millet cultivation that uses SRI principles.]
In the state of Karnataka, 95% of the cultivated dryland crop is finger millet. In Haveri district of Karnataka State, the NGO Green Foundation based in Bangalore several years ago found an indigenous farmer-devised system called Guli Vidhana for raising the yield of ragi. This methodology developed in the 1980s echoed SRI practice in many respects. The poster that Green Foundation developed to popularize this methodology made explicit the connection to SRI. Guli Vidhana methods are raising ragi yields beyond the previous maximum for the area, 1.5 t/ha, to 1.8-2.0 t/ha and even up to 2.5 t/ha in a good year. A 2011 PowerPoint presentation by C.S.P. Patil provides updated information on this System of Finger Millet Intensification in Karnataka.
In Haveri district of Karnataka State, the NGO Green Foundation based in Bangalore several years ago found an indigenous farmer-devised system called Guli Ragi for raising the yield of ragi. This methodology developed in the 1980s echoed SRI practice in many respects. The poster that Green Foundation developed to popularize this methodology made explicit the connection to SRI.Guli Vidhana methods are raising ragi yields beyond the previous maximum for the area, 1.5 t/ha, to 1.8-2.0 t/ha and even up to 2.5 t/ha in a good year.
The system, described in a 2006 trip report by Norman Uphoff, involves two very interesting ox-drawn implements that farmers had adapted to their purposes.
The korudu (left) is pulled across the field several times between 15 and 45 days after transplanting, to bend over the young plants without breaking them off, causing the mildly traumatized plants to put out more tillers and more roots. The yade kunte (right) is a blade mounted on the end of a long handle pulled down the wide space (45 cm) between rows and between plants, aerating the soil at the same time that it eliminates weed competition.
In eastern India, the NGO PRADAN worked with farmers in Jharkhand state on adapting SRI practice to finger millet (left), in what they have called SFMI, the System of Finger Millet Intensification. These alternative methods can produce much more robust and productive phenotypes.
The contrast in phenotypes was seen in the picture that illustrated the introduction of SRI concepts and practices for other crops (see photo at right). On the right is shown a representative local-variety ragi plant grown with conventional methods; in the center, an improved-variety ragi plant (A404) grown with conventional methods; and on the left, a ragi plant of the same improved variety but grown with what PRADAN staff have labeled 'SFMI' methods -- System of Finger Millet Intensification - perhaps to avoid the confusion of having a second 'SRI.' An SFMI manual, now available on the SRI-Rice website, is based on the experiences of farmers affiliated with the PRADAN rural development program in Chhattisgarh and Jharkhand States and with the SRI Consortium, Chhattisgarh, India.
PRADAN staff also provided pictures showing phenotypic differences in the length of panicles (shown far right), in the width of panicles (near right), and most important for understanding why these differences occur, in the roots of SFMI vs. conventionally-grown ragi (left).
Andhra Pradesh:
Researchers at the state agricultural university (ANGRAU) did trials in 2004-05 with two improved varieties of ragi (762 and 708), comparing the plants' root growth after transplanting. They were interested whether ragi would show the same young-seedling effect that is seen with rice plants when managed according to SRI recommendations.
Ragi seedlings were transplanted at 10 days, 15 days, or 21 days after germination. At 60 days after transplanting the plants showed the same positive response to transplanting at an earlier age as do rice plants with SRI management. Ragi plants transplanted at 10 or 15 days of age had much more prolific root growth than do those plants transplanted even 6-11 days later. (Click on photo at right to enlarge).
Farmers (N=340) working with the People's Science Institute based in Dehradun in the 2009 season, a drought year, tried SRI-like methods with small plots of finger millet to assess their viability. They transplanted single young seedling at 20x20 cm spacing, adding homemade biofertilizers to the soil along with compost. The number of panicles (ears) per plant was increased to 5, compared with 3 on the control plots, with 428 grains per panicle instead of 290 grains. The yield was 50% higher, 1.8 t/ha instead of 1.2 t/ha. A greater yield increase was thought likely in a season with more normal rainfall.
Tigray, Amhara, and Oromia Provinces:
SCI applications with finger millet are began at the initiative of the Institute for Sustainable Development (ISD), working with farmers in Tigray, Amhara and Oromia provinces. In 2009, three farmers in Tigray adapted SRI concepts to finger millet and got yields of 3.2, 3.1 and 2.4 t/ha, considerably higher than the national average yield of about 1 t/ha. Seventeen farmers in South Wollo zone of Amhara had finger millet yields of 2.8-2.9 t/ha, with no real difference between direct-seeding and transplanting, so long as there was regular and wide spacing between plants and good supply of organic matter for the soil. (See ISD report on piloting SRI)
Several hundred farmers in Tigray have worked previously with ISD to raise their finger millet yields just by adding compost to their soil, which is very low in soil organic matter. They have reached average yields of 2.65 t/ha, so it appears that there is some additional yield gain to be achieved with SCI crop, soil and water management practices, accomplishing more than just by moving to organic means of fertilization. Subsequent reports from 2012 have affirmed farmer interest in SFMI methods. (For a closer look, click on photos sent by Tareke Berhe during a field day in Tigray Province.)
ISD director Sue Edwards reports that previously, one elderly woman farmer who had intuitively combined a number of new practices that resembled SRI methodology achieved a finger yield of 7.5 t/ha, quite unheard of anywhere. She had raised the plants singly and wide apart, with well-drained, aerated soil. So good SCI results are not surprising to ISD or some of the farmers with whom it has been working for over a decade in Tigray province.
Oxfam America is assisting ISD and Tigrayan farmers to adapt SRI concepts and methods to rainfed cereal production in this very dry and constrained environment. More reports will be posted as results and evaluations become available. One of the three farmers reported on above who tried SRI methods with sorghum got a yield of 4.44 t/ha, encouraging other farmers to try this adaptation as well. We anticipate that sorghum as well as pearl millet, as graminaceous plants, should also respond positively to SRI-like management as finger millet does.

Nauvoo is a church history site as this was a huge gathering place for LDS people before they headed west to Utah. My family loves history and my Dad was so excited that Devin is a convert because that means we have a great excuse to go to all of the church history sites again.
We had a wonderful time touring and my Dad completely devastated us at Monopoly.
Devin and I in front of the Nauvoo, Illinois LDS temple. After the pioneers spent everything they had- time and money they were forced to leave it all behind. When I was in middle school they re-built an exact replica of the beautiful temple.

Should Doctors Share Notes with Patients?
To share notes, or not to share—that is the question.
What would happen if physicians' notes about patients were actually read by patients? Would it cause an onslaught of worry, anxiety, and extra work for already over-extended physicians? Could those notes become a catalyst for patients' cooperation in their own care?
It depends upon whom you ask.
After studying nearly 173 primary care physicians who shared notes with more than 38,000 patients at three hospitals, researchers found that patients were enthusiastic about the note sharing, but physicians less so.
"The response among physicians is a mixed bag; some are cautiously optimistic and quite a few are opposed," Tom Delbanco, MD, and Jan Walker, RN, MBA, research partners at Harvard Medical School and Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston, MA, and several co-authors, write in the December issue of the Annals of Internal Medicine.
The researchers divided physicians into two groups: those who participated in the note-sharing study and completed an attitude survey, and nonparticipants who only filled out the survey, but declined to engage in the note-sharing process.
Overall, as many as 81% of participating physicians thought open visit notes were a good idea, but only 33% of the nonparticipating doctors felt they were, the report said.
However, patients were overwhelmingly enthusiastic about the note sharing, with 97% believing it would improve their understanding and involvement in their own care. Patient enthusiasm extended across age, education and health status, and 22% anticipated sharing their visit notes with other people, including doctors.
Physicians were mostly concerned about their notes having one major negative impact on patients: Giving them cause to worry.
Comments are moderated. Please be patient.

I find increasingly because of medical legal issues I'm writing notes as if they will be read in court or viewed by the nation. It's resulted in my being more and more politically correct and less and less a physician. I am also aware of just how ignorant judges are of science and how others don't understand clinical note taking the way doctors do. I believe that patients want to watch their own brain surgery and would be very enthusiatic about it but in truth would not contribute to the process. If medicine is entertainment then this is a fine direction. American Idol the clinician. I will not record the material in a way that is useful to me years hence if I've someone watching over my shoulder. I will also not communicate to another doctor in one of the most advanced medical scientific communications that doctors share if I have to translate this down to the level of judges no matter how self important those individuals can be. Admittedly I'm Canadian and we still have some modicum of freedom of speech left to physicians. It's a double edged sword.

Interestingly enough, I have recently been dealing with the same issues in your article. Both my parents have been relatively healthy until this year. At 74 y/o they both began to have major health problems. My mother went to see her PCP. She presented with 9 s/s written down on piece of paper of heart attack. She was forced to see the Nurse practioner who sent her next door to get a heart moniter & home. She ended up in the ER the next evening & in the cath lab, where she was misdiagnosed & treated for an MI. She was in & out of the hospital for the next 3 weeks with again, poor mgmt, incorrect txs. when we finally convinced her to discharge & go to St. Lukes for a second opinion. She was finally correctly diagnosed & treated for Takosubo syndrome & has not had to return since. When I asked for copies of the records from the PCP, all I got was her lab reports, & any other test results, not the drs. office notes. I am an RN with 15 years experience & a documentation specialist for a hospital. Unfortunately I am 2 hrs. away from my parents & am often not able to be there with them for office visits/problems to help them navigate through a difficult healthcare system. I felt like I was the doctor & the only one who was on top of my mothers care. We asked for consults several time, & was told that he doesn't like to do that, it is too confusing when too many people are involved. (Red Flag!) I had to call the Dr. to tell him my mother had a DVT floating around in her leg, & what was his plan? He was shocked that I had those results before he did. If the technician had not warned my mother, she might have died, because she did the test at noon, & he didn't know till 8:00 pm when I called him on his cell. The technician got in trouble, which I think is absurd. If anyone knows anything about potential harm that could come to a person, it is there obligation to share that information without any kind of repercussions. I am on every HIPPA form for my parents & I still have so many problems trying to receive info re: my parents health & care. For my Dad it is a prostate issue where he has not been able to void due to enlargement. He has been in & out of the ER in the middle of the night to be cathed at least 5 times over a 2 mth period. He has had an indwelling catheter for the last 2 mths. The Dr. finally decided to scope him and he did a procedure like a TURP, but it is where they just remove the inside of the gland & leave the prostrate. An obs./24 hr. procedure, the next am, they pulled the cath, he drank lots of fluids, tried to discharge him & he could not void. He was in so much pain & agony, we had to beg the LVN to please call the Dr. & get an order to cath him. When I called to find out how many cc's of urine he had & what the color consistency was, I was told they couldn't share that with me, even though I was on the HIPPA forms. I expressed my concern for a return trip to the ER in the middle of the night, & blood clots possibly clogging up the catheter. Spoke to charge nurse who assured me that if it wasn't safe to discharge him, the dr. wouldn't have done so. I let her know, that I understand that ins. only pays for so many hrs/days for certain diagnosis/procedures & that the dr. didn't know the results that I was asking for as he had just given order to cath him, but that he should want to know that info as well before discharging him. Needless to say, after dealing with the same problem for over 2 mths & not getting any better, my Dad was finally ready to get a 2nd opinion. The new Dr. has he scheduled for sx in 2 days & when my Dad called the old Dr. to get his records, he was told that he was no longer welcome there as a pt. if he was going to let another Dr. do sx. on him. I was appalled. My gut says that the old dr. knew he should have taken the whole prostrate out & is concerned that the new dr. will know that as well. Another way to pad his pockets with medicare. I am in healthcare & I see things done everyday, that are not in the pts. best interest. Pts. need advocates like myself, to help them navigate safely through their illness. When we were at St. Lukes, I never once had to ask for any reports, results, etc. Everything was offered up freely upfront. This makes you feel that your physician has nothing to hide. But when physicians/hospitals do not want to share your healthcare information, it makes you feel as if there is something to hide. And I can personally say from my own experience, their usually is. Drs have to see more pts. to make the same amt of money they used to make seeing only a few. That means, they are overworked, tired, & burnt out. Why would you not want an extra set of eyes/ears to help you not miss something. It would only benefit everyone involved. Less lawsuits, less liability, improve their scores, etc. I have found this to be moreso with our older generation of physicians, vs new docs. Teaching hospitals are much better as sharing info as they have to since their is so many people involved in the pts. care, making it less likely for mistakes to happen. I hope my sharing can help others to know their rights & to avoid some of the unneccessary frustration & that it will keep them healthy & safe.

Sharing notes with patients is a great idea. My mom (a Medicine benficiary) told me about her first experience with one of her doctors doing this. She shared that at first it seemed uncomfortable - she wondered why the doctor did things this way but at the end she said she really liked it! A new speciality explained that he was going to type while they discussed her family and medical history and that when he was finished, they would go through it together. Which is exactly what they did and she found a small mistake in his note and they got it corrected right there! He then examined her and entered his findings and printed it out and they went through that portion together. When she left, she had all the information she needed. I thought that the doctor had found a great way to integrate the patient into his new medical records exam workflow! Win/win
