Lisa Marie Presley's publicist announced that she got married for the fourth time last month to guitarist and music producer Michael Lockwood. The two got married in a traditional Japanese ceremony in Kyoto with Lisa Marie's mother giving her away and one of her ex-husbands, Danny Keough, acting as best man. And you'd think having an ex-husband as best man would be awkward, but it wasn't at all. At least not until his speech when he pulled down his pants, pointed to his penis, and started yelling, "Miss this, baby? Miss it?! Do you miss it?!"
Lisa Marie Presley gets married again
Why is he dressed up like a reporter from the 60′s?
What is the over/under on the number of times this chick is going to get married? I saw…14.
Is that not Rhys Ifans, the bloke that played Hugh Grant's mad Welsh flatmate in "Notting Hill"?
Great goggamm, she sells Daddy's legacy for a giggle of geld and she married ANOTHER musician without a prenup, AGAIN? Lisa Marie dump this cat over the Pacific and take me. I'll produce all your albums, show you how to sell them over the internet to your fans, eliminating the middleman, and make you a very happy humming whore in bed and spend your daddy's money on the ponies, pinot noir and pinochle.
I think it would be funny if during the ceremony, Lisa Marie (not the best man) pulled up her dress and said, "Miss that?? Miss that coochie???" Now THAT would be high comedy.
It won't last.
She's a lukewarm singer who we wouldn't have the dubious honour of ever having to listen to if it wasn't for her dad. She knows it, we know it.
Her dad was also a complete nut job in the end. This could be genetic. This woman married Michael Jackson, I can't believe no-one has mentioned it yet. This latest escapade no surprise.
What's up with all the boring stories today?
You know I just thought she looked like a doll. But how long did she last with tormented Nick Cage? And then to hear her speak you would think she grew up in a trailer and her daddy drives trucks for a living.
She seems somewhat odd. Somehow I want to like her and root for her. If she finds happiness, I'd be glad for her.
What kind of lame ass get's talked into letting your future wife's ex-husband be your best man… I bet when he toasted them at the reception he said, "She's your fucking proplem now man."
On a seperate note: Not wanting to leave out her other ex-husband, Lisa Marie appointed Michael Jackson as the Flower Girl.
Well, she IS a scientologist you know. And we all know how sane they all are.
Tacky……he must be able to lay down the pipe!!!
He looks like a door-to-door salesman. He came by my house the other day and tried to sell me a vacuum cleaner. I told him I didn't need one because his new bide's last album sucked enough .
MEN: No matter whose daughter she is; wouldn't the fact that she married Michael Jackson be a DETERRENT?
I love when White-American people have traditional Japanese weddings. It's so nice to see them get back to their roots.
Women don't miss a guys penis, they can always find a better one, but nice try. Ya it won't last…poor girl, she tries so hard. Maybe it's the Scientology thing?
I feel like I just read the TV Guide blurb for next week's episode of "My name is Earl."
Christ…she STILL needs a father figure.
Richter Scale readings taken near Memphis indicate that Elvis is rolling over in his grave. Not just once or twice, but spinning like pig on a rotisserie. Whoa, there's an unintentionally apt metaphor.
Best Wishes to the happy couple. And by "Best Wishes" I mean, "You'll be divorced quicker than the time it takes to say, 'I've spent my entire life failing to compensate for the loss of my pill-popping, pedophiliac, redneck daddy'."
Pill-popping, pedophiliac, redneck daddy, who also happened to be the King of Rock!
#19, She HAS her father's figure.
Nah, I don't know how fat she is now, I just wanted to say that.
Ummm…FIRST of all…she was supposed to marry me, so this MUST be some kind of mistake (much like all her other marriages). Second, what the hell's up with his head? I've searched all the crevices and crannies online to try to find a picture of him without a hat on. It could be he just has an ugly forehead, or baldness, or a boil, or he's giving birth to a litter of alien rodents that are crawling out of his fontanelles…
That is an odd wedding, your ex as the best man? If and when I get married NONE of my ex's are even going to be near my wedding. She is like serial marrier, if I were her I would enjoy just being married to my legend of a father's money.
In response to comment #1 – I agree with you. Nice fuckin' hat I say. Is that traditional Japanese garb for a wedding? Bad suits?
– One question, I really want an answer–
Why did they get married in Japan??
keyword being AGAIN . "congrats anyway". About why they got marries I read somewhere that Japan doesn't put a cap on the amount of times you can marry.
#17 haha, I love it when women get upset about stupid jokes that are supposed to just be funny.
Or should I say… excuse me but guys don't expose themselves to their ex-lovers at wedding ceremonies, they only do that on dark street corners or after they've bound a gagged their ex, but nice try though.
I see she's already redecorated her groom with the 'country gingham' look that Nick Cage objected to.
#26 – Maybe she's bigger in Japan than she'll ever be here and they made more of a thing of it than we would?
Hey, what's with her marrying these freaky looking dudes? Is it the whole alien nation religion thing she has going on?
Okay… she is just too damn weird. First of all, she marries the king of psychos Michael Jackson, and now she has a JAPANESE wedding with her ex as the best man… What is up with this chick?
YeeeeeeHawwwwwwwww It's marrying time! Break out the deep fried Peanut Butter sandwiches!
Yawn. What?
I don't think 17 sounded upset, Bogart.
Does anyone wonder why she went insane and married the Scarecrow from the Wizard of Oz. Michael Jackson's tounge was in her mouth. I wonder if it tasted like llama ass and candy apples? She = tainted goods.
Great now she's going to suck his blood and eat his penis on a stick. This is going to be fun to watch.
This story was so last month
#24- because she divorced that hubby to marry Michael Jackson. She was fine in her marriage until Scientology could see an opportunity to "recruit" Jackson. It's all part of the scientologists' policy to get celebs in to promote their "group", she married Jackson 20 days after she divorced her first husband, a "devout" scientologist. Cage wouldn't take on scientology so the marriage fell apart. Neither would Jackson. The Cage thing was nothing to do with his personality I suspect. If Lockwood hates Scientology too, they've got months to go.
I have nothing to say here.
she is boring!!!!!!!!!!!!
very boring!!!!!!

I don't know about advantages, other than the obvious one. But I have heard of risks - again the most talked about one is that of toxins being released when the pan is heated. Of course, this is said to be true of other nonstick materials as well.
Are dishes and cookware that are made using the Teflon material the best when it comes to cooking? I mean, sure, they don't make the food stick, but what are the other advantages of using them?
I don't know about advantages, other than the obvious one. But I have heard of risks - again the most talked about one is that of toxins being released when the pan is heated. Of course, this is said to be true of other nonstick materials as well.
I almost always use SOMETHING (butter, olive oil, etc.) to coat my pans anyway, teflon-coated or otherwise, and I am always irritated when I can't find my wooden or rubber utensils to use on the teflon surface (so you don't scrape the teflon off into your food). The pans I have were a gift, so I appreciate them, but if I could afford a new set I would go with non-coated.
It really depends on what kind of cooking you do and how important easy clean up is. If your cooking is typically more simple, fast and easy and you really don't want to have to scrub pots and pans, teflon or other non stick cookware is the way to go. If you make a lot of gravies and sauces from scratch, you're better off with stainless steel. The flavors come out better if you get a little carmelizing, which you won't get in non stick pans.
Amy is right, with non stick you have to be careful what utensils you use. And I have heard about the toxin potential as well.
For saucepans, soup pots, etc., I like stainless, glass, or copper. For all of my skillets, personally, I'd recommend cast iron. I've gone on a crusade to remove ALL teflon from my kitchen due to the health risks as we are trying to live as naturally as possible around here. Cast iron is green, eco-friendly, lasts forever, and, if seasoned right, is nonstick. You can buy cast iron brand new, but honestly, I prefer the old, used skillets. I have 9 myself, all from flea markets, all different sizes, and they are all a joy to cook with. If you're unsure how to season or de-rust your cast iron there is a full tutorial on my blog.
Forgot to add: from what I understand, teflon-coated pans are often made with cheaper metals that are poor conductors and often they don't heat evenly which, of course, can affect your cooking.
I think you do need a good variety of cookware. Not just non-stick or cast iron or steel. Each material has it's place and use.
Teflon is used to line the cooking surfaces of many items of cookware. The application of Teflon to these surfaces makes the surface non-stick. But do you know that the utensils that are used to cook food often do more than just hold the food? Molecules of substances can leach from the utensil into the food that is being cooked. Similarly, Teflon is a product that is capable of withstanding temperatures up to 480 degrees Fahrenheit above which it begins to degrade and and this degradation leads to Teflon cancer risk. The risk of cancer is associated with a degradation caused to the vital organs of body. Similar information about aluminum, iron and lead utensils is mentioned in the following site.
Cooking utensils and nutrition: MedlinePlus Medical Encyclopedia
Hope this information would be helpful to you all.
You can get cancer from anything these days. I can't wait til they tell us that using cast iron causes cancer because, as most anemics know, a small amount of iron is leached into your food when you use cast iron.
There's nothing wrong with using teflon-coated pans, just follow the advice above: don't heat the pan unless you have something in the pan to absorb the heat. If you still don't believe us, check out the Good Eats episode that deals with teflon-coated cookware. He explains the effects and how to avoid overexposure. Until then, don't read that CDC (or whatever it is) BS posted above.

It's easy to be disheartened by the enormous technological and economic challenges to finding efficient new ways to meet the world's energy needs – particularly with the massive scale of consumption in the developed world. So simple, low tech solutions always generate excitement – the $5 solar oven being a good example. Somewhat in this vein, the BBC World Service reports on an appealing idea: using banana skins and other waste from the plant to make simple briquettes for burning.
It doesn't necessarily address the problem of soot or 'black carbon' emitted by burning biomass, which is understood to be a significant contributor to climate change. But the BBC reports it would reduce deforestation due to wood being gathered burnt for home cooking.
In addition, it could be less labour intensive. Gathering enough firewood to cook each day is physically demanding and time-consuming. It's a common sight on the edge of many African cities to see dozens of people, usually women, making the long walk back home from carrying piles of firewood they have gathered from the outskirts.
For more fortunate readers whose appetite for low-tech alternative energy sources is whetted, this guide to charging a USB device using a bicycle is proving popular.

Republicans for Revolution
The Reactionary Mind: Conservatism from Edmund Burke to Sarah Palin
In 2004, then Senator Barack Obama brought the Democratic Party convention to its feet by declaring that there is "not a liberal America and a conservative America—there's the United States of America." He learned differently. As Princeton historian Sean Wilentz wrote recently in The New Republic, the American fantasy of a postpartisan politics runs back to the earliest days of the republic.1 Politicians who exploited it for their own purposes did well; those who genuinely believed in it failed. And it's a good thing, too. Modern democracy depends on distinctions among factions, principles, and programs, the clearer the better.
But the current public dissatisfaction with our parties is not just about partisanship. It also reflects a sense that the labels we use to distinguish factions, principles, and programs have lost their value. What does it mean to call oneself a liberal or conservative today? Does it make sense to distinguish "progressives" and "reactionaries," or are those just terms of abuse and self-flattery? It's hard to know how to talk about the new classes of rich and poor created by the global economy, and their strangely overlapping political commitments. Or where on the linguistic map to put the new populisms spawning around the world, some anti-global, some anti-immigrant, some libertarian, some authoritarian. Words are failing us.
Though it sounds dull, we actually need taxonomy. It is what renders the political present legible to us. Getting it right, though, requires a certain art, a kind of dispassionate alertness and historical perspective, a sense of the moment, and a sense that this, too, shall pass. Political scientists, intent on aping the methods of the hard sciences, stopped cultivating this art half a century ago, just as things started getting interesting, as new kinds of political movements and coalitions were developing in democratic societies. We're in a similar moment now; we need a guide. That's why Corey Robin's The Reactionary Mind is a useful book to have—not as an example to follow, but one to avoid.
Robin, who teaches political science at Brooklyn College, has been writing thoughtful essays on the American right for The Nation and other publications over the past decade. The Reactionary Mind collects profiles of well-known right-wing thinkers like Ayn Rand, Barry Goldwater, and Justice Antonin Scalia, and some deserters who turned left, like John Gray and Edward Luttwak. There are also a few that look beyond our borders, including an excellent piece on Hobbes as a counterrevolutionary thinker. But the book aims to be more than a collection. It is conceived as a major statement on conservatism and reaction, from the eighteenth century to the present. And this is where it disappoints.
The problems begin in the opening paragraphs, where Robin lays out his general picture of political history. It is not overly complex:
Since the modern era began, men and women in subordinate positions have marched against their superiors in the state, church, workplace, and other hierarchical institutions. They have gathered under different banners—the labor movement, feminism, abolition, socialism—and shouted different slogans: freedom, equality, rights, democracy, revolution. In virtually every instance, their superiors have resisted them, violently and nonviolently, legally and illegally, overtly and covertly…. Despite the very real differences between them, workers in a factory are like secretaries in an office, peasants on a manor, slaves on a plantation—even wives in a marriage—in that they live and labor in conditions of unequal power.
This is history as WPA mural, and will be familiar to anyone who lived through the Thirties, remembers the Sixties, or was made to read historians like Howard Zinn, Arno Mayer, E.P. Thompson, Eric Hobsbawm, and Christopher Hill at school. In their tableau, history's damnés de la terre are brought together into a single heroic image of suffering and resistance. Their hats are white, immaculately so. Off in the distance are what appear to be black-hatted villains, though their features are difficult to make out. Sometimes they have little identification tags like those the personified vices wear in medieval frescoes—"capital," "men," "whites," "the state," "the old regime"—but we get no idea what they are after or what their stories are. Not that it matters. To understand the oppressed and side with them all you need to know is that there are oppressors.
What distinguishes Robin from the old-style left historians is that he's genuinely interested in the right and wants to paint its portrait—though, again, he's committed to keeping it simple. In fact, he thinks that much of our confusion about this subject stems from the fact that we have been taken in by conservative intellectuals who lay out benign-sounding political principles, and historians who accept them as defining different streams of right-wing thought and activity. Robin will have none of it. To his mind, the fundamental truth about the right is that it has always wanted one and only one thing: to keep down those who are already down. This is what unites Edmund Burke and Sarah Palin:
Conservatism is the theoretical voice of this animus against the agency of the subordinate classes. It provides the most consistent and profound argument as to why the lower orders should not be allowed to exercise their independent will, why they should not be allowed to govern themselves or the polity. Submission is their first duty, agency, the prerogative of the elite.
If you accept these claims, then you will have no trouble accepting what Robin says in the book's most extraordinary paragraph:
I use the words conservative, reactionary, and counterrevolutionary interchangeably: not all counterrevolutionaries are conservative…but all conservatives are, in one way or another, counterrevolutionary. I seat philosophers, statesmen, slaveholders, scribblers, Catholics, fascists, evangelicals, businessmen, racists, and hacks at the same table: Hobbes next to Hayek, Burke across from Palin, Nietzsche between Ayn Rand and Antonin Scalia, with Adams, Calhoun, Oakeshott, Ronald Reagan, Tocqueville, Theodore Roosevelt, Margaret Thatcher, Ernst Jünger, Carl Schmitt, Winston Churchill, Phyllis Schlafly, Richard Nixon, Irving Kristol, Francis Fukuyama, and George W. Bush interspersed throughout.
Glenn Beck's blackboard was never half this full.
Robin is a lumper, an über-lumper, which may please his beleaguered readers on the left, but makes his entire enterprise incoherent. He fails to see that it is based on a glaring fallacy of composition: he posits a class, isolates a characteristic of one of its members, and then ascribes that characteristic to every member of the class. Catholic reactionary Joseph de Maistre and George W. Bush are both on the right in Robin's scheme; following his logic, since Maistre spoke flawless French, Bush must too. Which would be some national secret. Yet that's exactly how Robin proceeds, until he has corralled everyone he doesn't like into a pen and labeled them all conservatives and reactionaries and right-wingers, terms he fails to distinguish. (More on that in a moment.)
But if there's anything we've learned over the past century, it is that la destra è mobile. The right used to be isolationist, then became internationalist, and to judge by recent Republican debates may be tiptoeing back to isolationism again. In the 1970s, if you thought that public schools were being used for social indoctrination, that power over them should be decentralized, and that children would be better off learning at home, that put you on the far left. Today those views put you on the right. Are we to think that these shifts were only about how best to keep power from the people?
And what about all the factionalism within the right? Isolationist paleoconservatives at magazines like The American Conservative hate "American greatness" neoconservatives at The Weekly Standard for their expansionist foreign policies and unconditional support of Israel, and the feeling is mutual. Theoconservatives at the journal First Things who resist gay marriage drive libertarians at the Cato Institute up the wall. There are serious and consequential disagreements on the right today over immigration, defense spending, the Wall Street bailouts, the tax code, state surveillance, and much else. Who wins those arguments could very well determine what this country looks like a generation from now. Robin registers none of this.
An opportunity has been missed. Robin is not wrong to think there are two tribes in modern politics, and the terms "right" and "left" are as good as any other to describe them. But within each tribe there are clans that do more than express more radical or moderate versions of the same outlook. Most of the turmoil in American politics recently is the result of changes in the clan structure of the right, with the decline of reality-based conservatives like William F. Buckley and George Will and the ascendancy of new populist reactionaries like Glenn Beck, Ann Coulter, and other Tea Party favorites. To understand why the distinction between them still matters, we need to remind ourselves what the terms "conservative" and "reactionary" originally meant.
"Liberal" and "conservative" first became labels for political tendencies in the aftermath of the French Revolution. Like all polemical terms their meaning and usage shifted around in partisan debate, but the philosophical distinction between them was settled by the mid-nineteenth century, thanks in large part to Edmund Burke. After the Revolution, Burke argued that what really separated its partisans and opponents were not atheism and faith, or democracy and aristocracy, or even equality and hierarchy, but instead two very different understandings of human nature. Burke believed that, since human beings are born into a functioning world populated by others, society is—to use a large word he wouldn't—metaphysically prior to the individuals in it. The unit of political life is society, not individuals, who need to be seen as instances of the societies they inhabit.
What makes conservatives conservative are the implications they have drawn from Burke's view of society. Conservatives have always seen society as a kind of inheritance we receive and are responsible for; we have obligations toward those who came before and to those who will come after, and these obligations take priority over our rights. Conservatives have also been inclined to assume, along with Burke, that this inheritance is best passed on implicitly through slow changes in custom and tradition, not through explicit political action. Conservatives loyal to Burke are not hostile to change, only to doctrines and principles that do violence to preexisting opinions and institutions, and open the door to despotism. This was the deepest basis of Burke's critique of the French Revolution; it was not simply a defense of privilege.
Though philosophical liberalism traces its roots back to the Wars of Religion, the term "liberal" was not used as a partisan label until the Spanish constitutionalists took it over in the early nineteenth century. And it was only later, in its confrontation with conservatism, that liberalism achieved ideological clarity. Classical liberals like John Stuart Mill, in contrast to conservatives, give individuals priority over society, on anthropological as well as moral grounds. They assume that societies are genuinely constructs of human freedom, that whatever we inherit from them, they can always be unmade or remade through free human action. This assumption, more than any other, shapes the liberal temperament. It is what makes liberals suspicious of appeals to custom or tradition, given that they have so often been used to justify privilege and injustice. Liberals, like conservatives, recognize the need for constraints, but believe they must come from principles that transcend particular societies and customs. Principles are the only legitimate constraints on our freedom.

Some people say they are just specks of dust on camera lenses. But researcher Julie Ryder says, "The orbs are becoming more and more complex. They are consciousnesses from other dimensions and are trying to make contact with us. The more complex forms are teaching us to communicate."
Martin J. Kidston writes in the Helena (Montana) Independent Record that Ryder has hundreds of different photographs of orbs. They appear as diamonds, circles, and streaks of color.
Ryder says, "We've done over 50 photo sessions and I've been present at all of them. The orbs have been present at every single session." To eliminate the possibility that they are caused by a camera defect, she's used 14 different cameras to photograph them.
"My personal theory is that they're inter-dimensional beings," she says. "They interact with consciousness." She was especially impressed by what she calls the Blue Orb, which she saw in June. It had a membrane and filaments that crisscrossed within the sphere. "I think it was a visitation," she says. "It had a human form in it.

Soooo i've gained a lot of weight in the last 2 weeks over spring break at my dads.....I've tried to exersize and such, but I'm to addicted to junk food that I shouldn't be eating. How do I stop myself from having this habit of eating junk food way to often? I want to live a healthy life, and the whole "junk food" that some retard created is a complete concrete wall on my path to achieve my goal. I never eat fast food or anything, just snacks, candy, cookies, desserts, and mostly chocolate. Please help.

So I just got NEON GREEN suspenders from Claires. But I don't know what to wear with them. I don't have black chucks, But I have like peace signed, different colored ripped ones, blue ones, and like old fashioned movie theater chinese kind. (The last choice isn't really converse, but they look like them.) I don't have black skinny jeans, but I have blue, purple and a greyish black kind. (I have a black beret, or a fashionable beanie.) I have black shirts, but some of them have neon bright print on them. I also don't know how to wear them. These are a pic of my NEON GREEN suspenders.

I need some accessories for the new school year and I haven't gone clothes shopping in about half a year. My mom doesn't have much money, and my grandma once in a great blue moon takes me shopping at those places but do they actually have clothes in style? I also don't know how to convince my grandma in a sweet way that she needs to spend money on me, not in that way though. So thats part of the question.

If your looking for something cute to wear for the Summer, I would suggest a Summer dress. They look cute while making sure your cooled off. Flower print makes your dress look old fashioned but still chic and stylish. A brown colored belt by your waist/stomach area make it fashionable to wear on ...

The fashion style for the year of 2012 is Skinny Jeans or Jeggings, Skinny T-shirts, in your size - not to tight, Converse or DC's, and large necklaces with big charms. If you don't have these things then don't worry we each have our own style. If you like these kind of outfits but you don't wear...

Is 26 too old to go back to school?
- 0Oct 4, '06 by anoukHi, I'm currently working on obtaining my BSN in nursing. Before this degree, I pursued a BA in education. I thought that I wanted to be a teacher. After all it was something that I'd wanted to do since childhood. However, once midway through college something inside of me clicked. I didn't really want to be a teacher, but because I was halway through the program, and had taken loans I decided to go through with it anyway. I took my test for my credentials and once I found myself in the classroom setting, I realized that it was not what I wanted to do and should have trusted my gut instinct instead.
I was always drawn to nursing. Especially when in my junior year of college I went to my doctor and he misdiagnosed my symptoms of being the result of stress. I went to the school NP, and she ran test and found out it was more than stress. (I was SEVERELY anemic)
I was impressed and wanted to make a career change before I started my career as a teacher but was to scared to do so.
To make a long story shorter, everyone in my extended family keeps asking me why am I still in school. The one that really bugs me is everyone saying that I'm simple to old to go back to school. Should I be offended? Has anyone else heard someone say they were to old?Last edit by anouk on Oct 4, '06
- 0Oct 4, '06 by AntikigirlI started RN school at 28! Most of the students were older than me! I find it takes a level of maturity to handle nursing you don't find straight out of school. Takes some life experience to bring with you to RN school and pts! So I think it is a good idea to get some life experience first...know yourself well...and have maturity before going to RN school!
(I didn't make it clear that I mean GO FOR IT!).Last edit by Antikigirl on Oct 5, '06
- 0Oct 4, '06 by np_wannabeI think it's really sad, and even infuriating, that people are telling you that 26 is too old. Really. So tell me: when is the "cut-off" age? at what age does one have to choose a career that they stick to forever and ever??? Is their opinion, then, that you should be a teacher for the next 40 years because that is the decision you made at 18? Ridiculous.
To me, you are only too old to return to school when you are dead.
Just my
- 0Oct 4, '06 by Miss Chybil RNThink of it this way, the current life expectancy of the average American female is 76 to 80 years old. Males run from 69 to 75 years old. You've got, at least, another 50 years on you. Are you going to let it pass wondering if you're "too old?"
Here's a simpler way to look at it. You're 26 now. If it takes you 4 years to finish a BSN-RN, or any other degree, you'll be 30 when you graduate. If you don't go to school, in 4 years, you're going to be 30, anyway.
Follow your heart. You're never "too old."
- 0Oct 4, '06 by anoukQuote from morte.i d--n near choked on my potato chips......i was almost 31, and now 55...would go back to school in a heart beat.....and the family only has a rght to an opinion if they are supporting you......good luck.....and learn to trust your gut!lol
No they are not supporting me. I'm supporting myself through school.

Health Matters - "Pre or Postoperative Joint Replacement Therapy Programs: a Physical Therapist's Perspective"
Pre or Postoperative Joint Replacement Therapy Programs: a Physical Therapist's Perspective
Anna Nelsen, DPT uses a physio ball to demonstrate a movement, "bridges," an overall strengthening exercise for the hips, with Carlos Baloco, NCH Outpatient Rehabilitation technician
Since life expectancies have increased and folks enjoy a more active lifestyle with outdoor activities and sports, it is inevitable that knee and hip joint replacement surgeries have increased.
Most often affecting elderly patients, the causes are usually due to cartilage deterioration from end-stage arthritis or from previous injury to the ligaments surrounding the joint, according to NCH Outpatient Physical Therapist Anna Nelsen, DPT.
NCH joint replacement patients benefit from a comprehensive treatment plan from presurgery to postoperative therapeutic care.
After the initial physician exam, patients are expected to attend the two-hour preoperative patient education program for total joint replacement that discusses surgery preparation through post-surgery.
Presurgery physical therapy is for the assessment and treatment of the patient. Plan of care and follow-up with the physician determines whether or not surgery will occur. In addition, this presurgical therapy allows a patient to understand which exercises are important, become acclimated to the therapeutic environment, and helps set expectations postoperatively. A rapport of trust is established between patient and therapist.
The therapist gains awareness of the patient's particular needs, and thus is able to address the patient's rehabilitation more quickly.
After receiving a referral from your physician for physical therapy, the therapist conducts a comprehensive evaluation and develops an individualized treatment plan.
"If a patient's muscles are not strong prior to joint replacement surgery, they are less likely to be strong after the surgery. While muscle is typically not cut during surgery, the muscles are moved around in order to allow the surgeon access to the joint," explained Nelsen. "I tell my patients that it will feel like someone has been kicking them in the knee for three hours due to the surgeon pulling the muscles apart manually. So the stronger the muscles are before surgery, the better they will be afterward."
A physical therapy plan is customized to individual needs. Goals can include strengthening the affected joint muscles and increasing range of motion to optimize functional goals. Therapists also give postsurgery instructions such as the need to begin moving the knee as soon as possible.
Nelsen advised that rest, ice, compression and elevation (RICE) are essential, along with gentle, active movement, with the goal of regaining range of motion in the first few weeks after surgery.
"We also use stimulation devices that send mild electrical impulses to manage pain when indicated," added Nelsen.
"Each patient is unique, and the healing process is different for each. I tell them not to compare themselves to the experiences of others and to keep committed to their pre and postoperative programs."

Dog shot, brought to Jacksonville's animal shelter
Updated On: Nov 16 2012 10:26:45 AM EST
A dog brought to the city's Animal Care and Protective Services with a gunshot wound will be taken for surgery Friday morning.
The male doberman/German Shepard mix estimated to be about 10 months old was found Wednesday near the intersection of Dunn Avenue and Interstate 295. The dog was shot in the left leg and an X-ray indicates the extent of the damage will likely require that the leg be removed.
City workers are working area veterinarians and the public to fund the cost of of the surgery, which they believe will surpass $1,000.
Anyone with information about the shooting or who the dog belongs to is asked to call 904-630-CITY and ask for Animal Care and Control. Anyone wishing to make donations for the dog's care can contact Jacksonville Veterinary Medical Society, Friends of Jacksonville Animals or Animal Care and Protective Services and specify that the money is for this dog.

S.u.S.E. V5.0
Manufacturer: S.u.S.E.
E-mail: email@example.com
URL: http://www.suse.com/
Price: $49 US
Reviewer: Stuart Green
When I arrived home following the ALG (Austin Linux Group) meeting of August 28, there in the kitchen sat a rather large box from S.u.S.E. Being of sound disposition and sober manner, I tore the box open. Inside were a boot diskette, four CDs in a single jewel box and a 380 plus page manual. The packaging was of good quality and shrink-wrapped as if it were sitting on a shelf at a computer retailer.
The manual is excellent. This is the finest piece of comprehensive documentation I have seen. It includes practical and detailed setup instructions for services, such as firewalling, rational sendmail configuration, emulator setups (and many emulators such as DOS, Atari, Nintendo, CBM from the PET to the VIC-20, Sinclair/Timex, Gameboy and others).
The highly detailed table of contents and comprehensive index are rare in this type of documentation. Not only is information accessible, but it is presented very clearly. There are minor errors in translation from the German, including the presence of some characters unique to that language being left as is, in particular, in the names of individuals. These mistakes are easy to overlook. An unusual and very appreciated aspect of this manual is that it consists of original material and does not contain reprints of the LDP (Linux Documentation Project) HOWTOs. The manual's thoroughness is aptly complemented by the clarity and accessibility of the material. The manual alone is worth the price of admission.
The sheer amount of code available within this distribution is daunting—three of the four CD-ROMs are installation media. The fourth is a live file system that can be loaded in a demo mode that uses very little disk space. The explanation of how to permanently set up a small Linux partition and how to use the live file system to have a complete installation contains an accessible and cogent discussion of inode density, or how to cram 40,000 symbolic links into a partition.
S.u.S.E. has included utilities from Caldera and Red Hat; specifically Netware connectivity and Red Hat's RPM (Red Hat Package Management). The utilization of RPM, which is evolving into the de facto standard for installation, maintenance and replacement of software packages, is admirable.
I installed it on a variety of machines: a P166, a K6-166 and a PPro-II running at 300MHz. Kernel compile times were:
P-166: 7 minutes 15 seconds (64MB memory)
K6-166: 6 minutes 12 seconds (64MB memory)
PPro-II: 2 minutes 43 seconds (96MB memory)
The system-level information available is the most thorough I have encountered in any operating system. The disk information, for example, contains the actual disk geometry as well as the LBA translations, the amount of physical cache on the disk and the manufacturer's information down to the device serial number. The same can be said for this utility's output regarding any physical device, e.g., the screens for the networking card go to the level of reading the registers for networking statistics on the card. I find this information of great value in diagnosing networking problems, as well as for installation ease. The S.u.S.E. environment contains only software available under the GPL (GNU Public License); there are no commercial X servers or window managers. The overall product seems to be quite complete.
As is the usual case the printed documentation is behind the actual code, so don't rely on the printed instructions to be consistent with what is on the screen at all times. The process is well documented on the screen. The only confusing point is the order of the process. Like all Unix installations, the first step is preparing the storage media by partitioning and/or making file systems. Under S.u.S.E. this process is accomplished within a cleanly presented screen that requires using the function keys for selection of mount points, formatting options (inode density and bad block checking), etc. I found that the level of options is far above other distributions and, unlike some, S.u.S.E. does install.
The installation is simplicity itself. Once the machine is booted using the enclosed diskette, a series of questions is asked. The install process begins by prompting for the insertion of the first CD-ROM. It loads all selected packages from that CD-ROM and then boots into the newly installed system to complete the installation. It works well—it is a solid installer. The installation process is quick—a base installation taking a little over half an hour with reboots and all. The entire process is as smooth as an installation of this sort on Wintel architecture is going to be. Linux will not install with the ease of Solaris or Irix; but those are captive machines, where the manufacturer has total control of the hardware and choices are rather small.
As Linux continues to play an ever increasing role in corporate data centers and institutions, ensuring the integrity and protection of these systems must be a priority. With 60% of the world's websites and an increasing share of organization's mission-critical workloads running on Linux, failing to stop malware and other advanced threats on Linux can increasingly impact an organization's reputation and bottom line.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

You'll get such a kick out of seeing a person's expression when he or she first catches a glimpse of these handsome and truly voluptuous burger and hot dog buns. These round buns can handle a hefty burger with lots of toppings, and the long buns can easily cradle a large, grilled dinner-size hot dog, knockwurst, or generous link of sweet or hot Italian sausage. Regardless of the shape, I love these buns split, with the insides brushed with melted butter that's flavored with sautéed garlic. Just before serving, I broil the seasoned sides until lightly toasted. These buns taste best when enjoyed freshly baked.
Use some of the melted butter to grease the interior of a 5- or 6-quart mixing bowl. Set that bowl aside. Pour the warm milk into a mixing bowl and add ½ cup of the warm water, 3 tablespoons of melted butter, the shortening, salt, 2 tablespoons of sugar, the egg, and the yolk. Mix well. Dissolve the yeast in the remaining ¼ cup warm water with the pinch of sugar and allow it to become visibly active, about 3 minutes. Add the dissolved yeast mixture to the mixing bowl and stir in enough flour, cup by cup, to create a somewhat stiff, shaggy mass that's no longer easily stirred.
Use a rubber spatula to scrape the mass onto a floured surface, and knead it until you've created a dough that's smooth and elastic, adding only as much additional flour as is needed to keep the dough from sticking. Place the dough in the greased bowl and brush the top with more melted butter. Cover the bowl with greased plastic wrap and a clean kitchen towel. Let the dough rise in a warm draft-free spot for 2 hours. Uncover the dough and punch it down with several swift swats with the back of your hand. Turn the dough over in the bowl and knead it gently to redistribute the yeast. Recover the bowl and let the dough rise again until light and billowy, about 1 hour.
Line two shallow baking sheets with parchment paper and sprinkle the paper with cornmeal. If using one oven to accommodate both baking sheets at one time, place the racks in the upper-and lower-third shelf positions. If using a double oven, have the racks on the center shelves. Preheat the oven to 375°F. If planning to apply a topping to the buns, make your egg white glaze and strain it into another bowl so it's easier to apply. Place your seeds and/or reconstituted onions in small bowls, if using. After the second rise, uncover the dough and punch it down to deflate it. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead it briefly and gently.
To shape burger buns, use your pastry scraper to divide the dough into 10 equal pieces and cover them while working with one piece at time. Shape each piece into an irregular round, then pull up the sides, repeatedly, pinching the gathered ends on top to form a small knot. Continue pulling and pinching until the dough is round and taut with a slightly pinched area on top, flouring your fingertips as necessary. Turn the ball of dough on its side and drive the blade of your pastry scraper down through the waist of the round (not through the pinched end), cutting the ball in half. Lay both halves cut side up, gently opening them so they lie flat. Sandwich both cut sides together, then pinch the cut edges together, sealing them shut. Place the squatty round down smoothest side up, and flatten it quite firmly, using your fingers to shove the pinched seam gently under the bun all the way around. When a bit flatter than you think appropriate, lay the bun (smoothest side up) on one of the prepared baking sheets and cover it with a clean kitchen towel while you shape the rest. Let the buns rise for 20 minutes, starting after the last bun has been shaped.
To shape hot dog buns, divide the dough into 12 equal pieces and cover them while working with one piece at a time. For each bun, roll a piece of dough into an 8-inch strand and flatten the strand using either a straight rolling pin or the heel of your hand. Roll both long sides of the dough in toward the center, and when the two sides meet in the middle, pinch them together to seal shut. Working with one end at a time, lift the dough at one short end and fold it over, rounding off that end and attaching that portion of dough to the seam, going about 2 inches down the length of the seam. Do this on the opposite end and pinch the dough, as needed, to correct the shape. When done, the seam should be straight and the bun about 7 inches long. Place the baking sheet horizontally in front of you. Invert the bun onto the prepared baking sheet, seam side down, close to one end of the sheet. Repeat the shaping procedure with the remaining dough, placing them in a vertical line, only ½ inch apart. (They should merge in the oven.) Tear off two large sheets of aluminum foil and scrunch each one into the shape of the buns. Spray them with vegetable spray and tuck these foil buns at either end of the lineup of buns, giving these last buns boundaries. If not applying a topping, cover the buns with a clean kitchen towel and let them rise for 20 minutes, starting after the last bun has been shaped.
If topping hamburger or hot dog buns, as soon as you've finished shaping them, brush the tops of the unrisen buns with the egg white glaze and sprinkle the tops with seeds or the reconstituted dried onions. Cover the buns with a clean kitchen towel and let them rise for 20 minutes. If the remaining melted butter has congealed, rewarm it just until liquefied.
Uncover the risen buns and brush the tops with melted butter (brush gently over the topping). Regardless of their shape, bake the buns in the preheated 375°F. oven until they are golden and feel light, 25 to 30 minutes. If baking in the upper and lower shelves of the oven, switch the position of the baking sheets after half the baking time. Also, check the burger buns after half the baking and, if becoming too pointy in the center, use a flat metal turning spatula to gently push this raised section down a bit, taking care not to split the sides of the bun. When done, remove the buns from the oven and brush them once more with melted butter. Transfer the buns to wire racks so they can cool until just warm. Just before serving, separate the hot dog buns by pulling them off of each other. Serve the hot dogs and burgers with your favorite mustard and relish and a bowl of spicy ketchup, all passed at the table.
Timing is Everything
• The dough can be assembled through the first full rise and, after punching down, placed in the refrigerator for up to two days. Let the dough sit out of refrigeration until it comes to room temperature (which can take 4 hours) before shaping, rising, and baking as directed.

While some ERP vendors might suggest that it's best to conform to their ERP application's practices, in fact, the ERP software should be adaptable to the customer.

"Widespread fraud" took place in Afghanistan's presidential election in August, the UN special representative to the country has said.
Kai Eide made the comments at a news conference on Sunday, in response to allegations by Peter Galbraith, his dismissed ex-deputy, that he had concealed evidence of fraud.
"It is true that in a number of polling stations in the south and the southeast there was significant fraud," Eide said.
"The extent of that fraud is now being determined."
There have been multiple claims of fraud in the August 20 poll, which according to preliminary results, was won by incumbent Hamid Karzai.
'Personal attacks'
The Afghan Electoral Complaints Commission (ECC) and the Independent Election Commission (IEC) are investigating a sample of suspected fraudulent ballots.
"No one knows. I can only say there was widespread fraud."
The final results of the investigations - that Eide said were supported by the UN - are expected in the coming days.
Galbraith was sacked on September 30 by Ban Ki-Moon, the UN secretary-general, due to a public dispute over how to deal with the fraud allegations, which threatened the credibility of the Afghan government and the international strategy to fight the Taliban.
Eide, who was joined by the US, UK, German and French ambassadors at the news conference, said Galbraith's allegations against him "have not only been personal attacks against me and my personal integrity but have affected the whole election process."
'Private conversations'
He denied the allegations by Galbraith that he had prevented information on high levels of fraud to be disseminated, even to ambassadors in the country.
Eide said that the UN's role "is to support the process, not influence the outcome".
"Some of these allegations were based on private conversation whilst he [Galbraith] was a guest in my house.
"My view is that private conversations around a dinner table in my house remain just that, private."
Karzai received 55 per cent of the preliminary results, with his closest challenger Abdullah Abdullah, a former foreign minister, on 28 per cent.
EU election monitors have said that about 1.5m votes - 1.1m for Karzai - were suspicious.
If no candidate receives at least 50 per cent of the official results, then a run-off between the two top candidates will be held.
However, concern has been raised by authorities that unless results are released soon Afghanistan's harsh winter could make a run-off vote impossible on logistic and security grounds.

Marmot does not disappoint I bought this shirt to wear casually as well as on hikes, and while camping. It is extremely soft, comfortable, and keeps you dry. September 30, 2014

Great Shirt Great shirt. Love the weight and comfort. I also have this in green! May 28, 2014
Great shirt! Very soft and comfortable. A little on the expensive side but worth it. April 29, 2014
Nice color and good fit Like the color a lot, fits well, soft fabric, so bought two. Tapers a bit, so size large fits me well in shoulders and there's not so much material around the waist. December 10, 2013
Nice Shirt Feels great, nice fit, quality shirt. I would get a few more June 18, 2013
super soft Softer, thinner feel than a traditional heavyweight cotton t-shirt. Because of this it hugs the body (not tight tho) a little more naturally than a plain cotton t which can look boxy sometimes. June 4, 2013

Other people's reactions to your hair loss can sometimes be difficult to cope with. If you feel that they're uncomfortable and don't know what to say, it may help for you to raise the subject first.
Once they hear you talking about it, they'll probably be able to offer you more help and support. For example, they may be able to help you choose a wig or hairpiece| that suits you, or help in other ways.
Although you may feel that everyone will notice when you're wearing a wig, you may find that people don't even seem to realise that it is a wig. It's very common these days for people to completely change their hair colour and style.
People often worry that their children| will be scared if they see them without their hair, but children usually cope and adjust well if they're told about any changes to your appearance in advance.

Take inspiration from the baseball season as you strive to discover great ideas and solve problems. These habits will boost your thinking:
- Go out to the ballpark, or anywhere other than your office. When you take a break from focusing on a problem, your brain will continue to work on it in the background.
- Play. Have a hobby and spend time with interesting people. Innovators often make connections between seemingly unrelated things. If the bookmarks slipping out of his choir hymnal had not frustrated Art Fry, 3M may have never found a marketable use for the low-tack adhesive Spencer Silver had invented. And we wouldn't have Post-it notes and other products.
- Be a team member. Collaborate with your colleagues. Talk about your problems and ideas. Build on and combine each other's thoughts.
- Keep records. Don't rely on being able to scrawl your great idea on the back of a napkin. Always carry a way to record your thoughts. It doesn't matter whether you choose a paper or digital method, as long as it's always available and easy to use. Review those notes periodically, because sometimes ideas take a while to simmer.
- Meet the fans. Your customers, that is. Chemists at Procter & Gamble spent years trying to invent a better cleaning solution for mopping. But when P&G partnered with an outside firm, that company watched customers cleaning their own floors and discovered the problem was with the mop.
