Southland Review: Helpless Heroesby Christine Orlando at . Comments
"Heroes" reminded Southland viewers of the complicated history that makes Officer John Cooper such a compelling character.
John chaining Hicks up in his house to keep the man from killing himself was a move that could have come back to haunt him. Hicks was a mean drunk, the worst kind. He had no problem verbally tearing down the only person left who gave a damn whether he lived or died. Cooper knew he had to wait until the alcohol left Hick's system to get back to the man he knew.
But it was John's father who made me ill. First he dangled a substantial donation in front of a priest to get him to compel John to see him. All of the priest's talk about forgiveness felt less than sincere once we learned that his church would receive money if he succeeded in getting John to the prison to visit. Would the man have pursued John so relentless if the cash hadn't been a factor?
I was surprised John went to see his old man. He found him strapped to a gurney in a dingy prison hospital ward and quickly found that man hadn't changed at all.
Cooper senior wanted to tell his son that he had raped and murdered his girlfriend years ago because he knew his son was gay. He'd also wished John would have committed suicide as he said, "I rather would have seen you dead than had a faggot for a son."
How could such a good man come from such an evil bastard? Hopefully John can now put his despicable father behind him and move on.
Sammy was going off the deep end as his guilt over lying to investigators ate at him. But this time Sherman was right. The recording needs to be destroyed. No good can come of it now and if it's found by the wrong people both he and Ben could lose their jobs and Sammy his son.
I knew the moment Ben and Sammy went to check on the parents that they'd find nothing good. The scariest part about being a cop is that you never can tell just how crazy someone is just by looking. Thank goodness they put the cuffs on Doug when they dragged him off of that bridge.
Ben was all about Elena tonight as he stood up to her gang banger brother. I still can't imagine this relationship being anything but disastrous in the end. Plus, what the heck happened to Brooke?
Hopefully Lydia allowing Christopher and his daddy some time together will be good for all concerned. Terrell may have proven to be a lousy husband but he does seem to be a decent dad.
Finally, Dewey's daughter made her debut as a cop as her probational training was over. Rae Anne Dudek was smart, beautiful, tough and funny. As Lucero said in this Southland quote…
How does an ugly son of a bitch like Dewey get a such a hot daughter? | permalink

Southland is so profound, dramatic and real! With out a doubt the best show on T,V.! The actors, writers, every week something more true to life to just grab you. How is this NOT! the BEST show on T.V.??? And OMG John is the sexiest S.O.B. ever.... I can tune in just to watch him!!
I'm always wondering how it would go when Hank find out John's tendency... This ep was remarkable yet killing me
I was reminded of Arlo and Raylan during the scene with John and his dad. In fact, that was the first thing that came to mind, when the priest said his dad wanted to see him. Dudek's daughter reminded me an awful lot of ...gah, what's her name??--the blond who was Dewey's partner in previous seasons. John's partner making homophobic sort-of remarks to John. Assuming that he does not know that John is gay (and I don't recall that he does know), what's gonna happen when he DOES find out?? Sammy--there's trouble coming. Guilt will make people do stupid things, same as anger. Ben was full of good intentions, when he lied on Sammy's behalf, but it's gonna come back to bite him in the ass :(

LENOIR The man accused of fatally shooting a Caldwell County sheriff's deputy is a former S.C. police officer with Army Ranger training who continued to elude authorities Sunday.
All day, hundreds of federal, state and local investigators searched unsuccessfully in woods off winding roads for Larry Wayne Brucke Jr., an Iraq War veteran, who recently changed his name to Skip Brinkley. Authorities described him Sunday as "very dangerous." He is accused of shooting Det. Adam Klutz in the head after he responded to a 911 hang-up call about 9:40 p.m. Friday. Klutz died early Saturday.
Lt. Chris Martin, who arrived moments later to back up Klutz, also was shot three times. He was spared serious injuries by his bullet proof vest.
Authorities Sunday said they believe Brinkley is armed at least with an assault rifle and he is now believed to be on foot or in a vehicle. After two days of searching, they had found no evidence indicating he was nearby. They said they weren't sure if he had been injured when Martin returned fire.
There were initial reports that he possibly rode off on a horse from the farm he lives on at Fox Winkler Road. But that horse was accounted for on Sunday, said Det. B.J. Fore, a spokesman for the Caldwell County Sheriff's Office.
Investigators declined to provide a recording of the 911 hang-up call and other calls possibly made after the shootings. They also couldn't say whether there had ever been reports of trouble at the home nestled among rolling hills off N.C. 64.
Dozens of police vehicles blocked access to the area Sunday where volunteers turned the Oak Hill Community Ruritan Club into a makeshift dining hall for searchers. Residents rolled out homemade pies while others grilled burgers and served fries to heavily-armed deputies with camouflage-painted faces.
By nightfall, authorities halted the search operation. But today there will be additional security at the nearby Oak Hill Elementary school and armed officers riding school buses, officials said.
"We're talking about a very dangerous person," Fore said.
He declined to give any details about what may have prompted the 911 call. Brinkley's fiancée and two children who were in the home at the time, were not injured, Fore said.
He used to patrol the area and said he wasn't familiar with Brinkley, who had been in Caldwell County only for about a year.
Brinkley grew up in Walhalla, S.C., west of Greenville. His father, Larry Wayne Brucke Sr. told WCNC-TV, the Observer's news partner, that he joined the Army right out of high school. He served at Fort Campbell, Ky., and in Iraq as an infantry soldier from 2004 to 2006. Authorities couldn't specify when he received Ranger training, or whether he completed it.
Authorities could not confirm whether Brinkley was honorably discharged or confirm whether he was injured during his Iraq service.
In addition to his military training, Brinkley completed basic law enforcement training in North Carolina and served as a police officer in Seneca, S.C., before joining the National Guard. His father told WCNC he served about a year in the Guard before getting out. His father said he was not aware of any troubles during Brinkley's military service.
Brinkley, who only recently changed his name, had been working most recently as a part-time truck driver and had a large construction project underway behind the home on Fox Winkler Road.
Relatives in Lenoir did not comment Sunday.
Friday's shooting was the second time recently that a suspect took aim at members of the Caldwell County Sheriff's Office. Earlier this month, two deputies were shot while serving a search warrant. The deputies, who were wearing bulletproof vests, weren't seriously hurt.
"This has been a rough few weeks for this department," Fore said. "Our department is hurting, but we are carrying on with this investigation, out of pride and for Adam."

Linux Grows Up
Phil Hughes
Good post
Linux is a serious threat to Windows, and it's about time. This is clearly evident, when you examine Microsoft's behavior in the past year or two. All of a sudden, Microsoft has been more vocal about Linux. They've tried to get close allies to release degrading, old, and false information about Linux. They've stepped up their patent violation threats to companies that exclusively use Linux. They compare Windows to Linux within their own reports. It's clear that they are worried about it, otherwise they would not be mentioning it.
We need for more people to realize the true power, flexibility, stability, and overall benefits of Linux which is a huge list. I use Linux for day to day computing, and I'll never look back at Windows again. Just not having to deal with all of the Windows problems and activation/registration of proprietary software is one of the largest bonuses there is to Linux.
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.

Lovely fruit flavor in this Chilean Cabernet -— red and black cherries, currants and cassis, with brier, vanilla and mineral notes coming in on the chunky finish. Needs a touch more harmony, but the spice and toast notes add complexity. Drink now throug —James Molesworth

With an impressive ATTO Max performance of up to 515MB/s Sequential Read and 440 MB/s Sequential Write, Performance Pro Series solid-state drives offer incredibly fast boot and application load times that will make you wonder why anybody still uses old-fashioned mechanical hard drives. This isn't just limited to files that can be compressed and decompressed on the fly Performance Pro Series SSDs offer similar performance when reading and writing compressed and non-compressible data. Since serious PC users work with so much compressed data audio, images, and video files are just a few examples it's a difference you'll notice every day.
With full support for the TRIM command, you'll get great performance under Microsoft Windows 7. Performance Pro Series goes one step further, with built-in advanced background garbage collection. It automatically uses idle time to optimize data storage, so that disk writes are consistently fast. Since this technology is built-in, you'll get strong performance with Mac OS X and Linux as well.

Gori Georgia
J. Mayer H. Architects
From ARCHITECT, November 2013
J. Mayer H. Architects in Georgia, by Ian Volner:
One of the most distinct features of the Georgian countryside is its gas stations: Almost all of them follow the same Soviet-era typology, a simple space-frame awning perched atop a boxy volume. With such a deeply entrenched (not to mention incredibly cheap) building mode already in place, it took a little doing to get the oil companies (such as Wissol Group and the State Oil Co. of the Azerbaijan Republic, or SOCAR) who funded the previous rest stops to see the wisdom of a new approach. "The idea was to be more specific and create unique designs for different sites in Georgia," says Mayer; it's easy to see the Gori buildings' peaks and valleys as reflections on the Caucasus ridge that surrounds them, though as in other projects, Mayer had a more nebulous analogy in mind. "We thought of them more as of driftwood sitting next to this new river," he says, "the highway, that runs through the country." Log or landscape, the two structures are intended to be part of a sequence of as many as 20 such stations throughout Georgia.

I guess it was very laggy boom :P
Imagine the largest Warhammer40k scale battles topped with balance for all races. Can you imagine your enemies being nuked by your own superweapon, or steamrolling them with many titans fighting other titans with complete balance? Then this is your mod.
I guess it was very laggy boom :P
what's this? tyraid's superweapon???
that's looks really cool
Looks more like the Necron's giant power generator went boom boom.
or great unclean one farted :P
lol that was good one XD
What a great Grand Puzzle addition! Thanks for the idea. xD
You'd think most of them would have disintegrated or something.
I wonder if it's possible to have a "disintegration" effect for some weapons. That'd make some weapons feel a lot more devastating than others.
I believe one of the necron sync kill (can't remeber if normal necron or immortal) is a few shot that disintegrate the enemy
necron power generator went critical and that means Nuclear BOOM
It's a raining Nids! BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM Hallelujah, it's a raining Nids.
Da hive mind just finished reading the tactictal guide by boreale. She/he/it liked the part about 'steel rain' it seems
It's called STEEL REHN not steel rain.
Hormagaunts , today the enemeh is at our door ! But as you no , it is the emprah who will taste death and defeat! Many of our hive brother are stationned in SPESS ready to deepstrike if the enemeh is bald and fewlish enough to attack!
you sir... have won the internet
Just lol!
Necrons :)
its sunny with 90% chances of tyranid rain and green fog
So many spleens....

Can we get a special skin or summoner icon when you own all the champs in the game? Because 1) you've either spent a lot of money or 2) you've played a lot of games. And I think that players who have done either should be rewarded somehow someway.
Senior Member
They already said once they release the last champ and all champs have 13 skins there will be a reward for owning them all within the first month
Further more, the next champ released is gonna be a support champ which will be the last support champ, which you'll get an icon for owning them all the day it's released
so basically 5 years from now. 13 skins for each champ. there isn't even 1 champ in the game that has 13 skins. you must be joking
Why would I give an exact number? and they already said teemo and annie would be the first to hit 13...
youre an idiot go troll someone else

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt
My name is Miller-Ragdoll!
Facts about Miller-Ragdoll
- Breed: Domestic Mediumhair
- Color: Black & White Or Tuxedo
- Age: Young
- Sex: Male
- Hair: Medium
Miller-Ragdoll's Info...
I am already neutered, up to date with shots, good with kids, and good with cats.
Miller was rescued by the landlord after his family left for other states. The landlord has seen their four children carry him around. He is really laid-back and seems to like to watch what is happening around him. I've been told he's part ragdoll.
Miller was a big kitten when rescued ... just over six months old based on teeth. He is about a year and a half old and 14 pounds now.
He's such a cool cat. Vacuum cleaner gets turned on right next to him (rescued cats jump on the switches) and he doesn't even jump.
Other Pets at SOS Kitty
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Miller-Ragdoll, a Scottsdale Domestic Mediumhair cat was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Domestic Mediumhair for sale in Scottsdale, or seeking a Domestic Mediumhair cat from a breeder in Scottsdale.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Scottsdale already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Scottsdale breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Domestic Mediumhair breeders who help with Domestic Mediumhair rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Scottsdale paves the way for another one to be saved.

The director of the National Institutes of Health has notified employees
to expect random computer audits as the agency works to ensure full
compliance with its security policies. NIH discovered that a stolen
laptop PC belonging to NIH contained medical data and Social Security
numbers of 1,200 patients involved in medical research.
The theft of the unencrypted laptop was a major violation of NIH=E2=80=99s
commitment to protect the confidentiality of patients, Dr. Elias
Zerhouni, the agency=E2=80=99s director, said in a memo sent to all NIH
NIH originally believed that no Social Security numbers were on the
missing laptop, but an investigation of backup files proved otherwise.
NIH is sending letters to notify those who might be affected. NIH is
offering free credit monitoring and insurance for as much as $20,000 in
losses for patients affected by the incident, an NIH spokeswoman said.
=E2=80=9CIt is important that we do everything possible to reassure the public
and our patients that we all take our responsibility regarding
protection of sensitive data from loss or misuse extremely seriously in
an age of increasing sophistication in information technologies,=E2=80=9D
Zerhouni said.
The new security precautions follow the theft of an unencrypted NIH
laptop in February. The computer contained information about more than
3,000 patients in a clinical research project at NIH=E2=80=99s National Heart,
Lung and Blood Institute.
The stolen laptop violated a federal policy that requires agencies to
encrypt mobile devices that contain personal information. The policy of
NIH and its parent, the Health and Human Services Department, is to
encrypt all government laptops with approved encryption software,
whether or not the PCs contain sensitive or personal information,
Zerhouni said.
Employees also must encrypt portable media, such as flash drives, if
they contain sensitive government data. NIH=E2=80=99s information technology
employees have encrypted nearly 11,000 laptops, Zerhouni said.
The disk encryption software must meet the National Institute of
Standards and Technology=E2=80=99s Federal Information Processing Standard
140-2. Encryption packages meeting that standard are available for
Microsoft Windows and Linux operating systems. A separate package is
under review for the Apple Macintosh operating system.
The agency has prohibited employees from using sensitive information on
Apple Macintosh laptops because NIH=E2=80=99s encryption software from Check
Point cannot be installed on them, said John Jones, NIH=E2=80=99s chief
information officer and acting director of the Center for IT. NIH has
about 4,500 Mac laptops, but only some contain sensitive data.
Check Point=E2=80=99s Pointsec encryption for Mac laptops is in testing, said
David Vergara, product marketing directing of data security products at
Check Point. He said he expects it to be ready in a few weeks.

Living in a world without smell
Anosmia or the loss of the ability to perceive smell can profoundly affect our eating and drinking behaviours, sometimes permanently, remembering that it's pre and post nasal smell, along with taste that forms our appreciation of flavour.
So what causes anosmia, and how does it change the way you eat and drink?
Anna Barnes has lived with anosmia since she suffered a head injury during a mugging in Cambodia two years ago.
Anna talks about how her loss of smell has radically changed her food likes and aversions, and neuroscientist Professor John Ngai outlines how new stem cell and gene research may lead to a possible cure for the condition.

On 25th Jan last year I suffered an out of hospital cardiac arrest. I apparently just fell forward onto my face. I was working with a medical retrieval team at the time, and that is why I can now recount that after I received appropriate on the spot treatment, rapid retrieval, cardiac and ICU interventions that my main deficit is secondary anosmia. I assume it was my head v ground that sheared the olfactory nerve fibres rather than hypoxic damage to the olfactory centre in my brain!

Hi Lyn,
The double edged sword of anosmia but working with colleagues in the very profession most required when you need them! I hope you've sought specialist advice and/or prognoses over what's occurred?
I'm sure all of us hope you've recovered in all other respects.
In the meantime, if I can ask, how has the anosmia changed your food preferences?
Regards Michael

I have had no sense of smell or taste since birth. Some things I can get a sensation from like sweet, or lemons and spicy like curries as they tend to burn.
I been told there is no nerve connection in my brain when I had tests done.
In my daily life I cant tell if the gas is on or food is off. I go by what food looks like and something like Avacardo I wont touch as it is green and smooth like an oyster.
I can tell food I dont like that my body will tell me as I will get itchy behind my ear and that tells me if I eat more then I will be sick.

I would be very interested in the stem cell technology and what it could do. I dont know if getting smell or taste would improve my life or make things worse, but I would be interested in taking part of any research programs.

Very interesting show! Thank you. I am curious to see some day if the stem cells Prof. Ngai spoke about can return some ability to smell to sinuses that have had lots of polyp surgery. How exciting!
I have had no sense of smell for many years. I think fairly standard stuff associated with cystic fibrosis killed it.
I lost it sometime in the mid nineties, so have never known what most current perfumes smell like. I've forgotten lots of smells too. I have four trusted noses whom I let (demand) choose perfumes for me. There was an angsty teenage patch where the perfume section of DJs would make me all maudlin, once I went home and cried, but I was 16.
I do still have some ability to taste. It is muted, but there. Yes, the texture of food is very important, though my preferences are almost the exact opposite of Anna's! Crisp apples are great, as is celery, cucumber, anything crunchy is good. Slimy, mushy, or gloppy is bad. It took me well into my 20s to be able to tolerate milk on coco pops, and still I use only enough to slightly dampen each pop. I love porridge if it is pretty dry. Sometimes the gelatinous oat-starch bits between the oats gross me out. Melting ice cream is disgusting, as soon as it gets mushy its over.
Subtle things like herbs are lost on me, I sometimes think I can tell the taste of fresh basil and baby spinach apart, but other times I definitely can't. Dried herbs are a wasted effort. I know vaguely what works with what because I have read about it, but cannot improvise, because I can't imagine what I am making. I have eaten mouldy lamingtons, and only realised when I saw a bite mark with green edges, and can drink stale milk.
I adore strong flavours like dark honeys, marmalade, ginger, blue cheese, and fruitcake. My sweet tooth is huge.
I get quite stressed about being smelly, so have a two wear max rule for most items (not underwear of course). Occasionally my poor boyfriend is asked to smell my clothes and tell me if I can get away with one more wear.

I suffer from a similar, but more rare condition called cacosmia, diagnosed about 10 or 11 years ago. The main difference is that cacosmia causes phantom (and usually) unpleasant smells. I have been unable to smell since. I can still taste, but not as strongly. While I miss smelling flowers, fresh fruit, and aromas of food and coffee, it is a concern that I am unable to smell things which are potentially harmful, such as gas or dangerous chemicals. Fortunately, the unpleasant phantom smells which endured continuously throughout waking hours, have diminished over the years so that, at least, is some relief.

Thanks guys for your program on smell. I now knows I am in the company of anosmiacs due to my noz. I think mine is virus induced as I've only had it this year after a cold. I can identity very well with those garbage and chemical smells but unfortunately attached to my favourite addiction - coffee - among the other floral wine bouquets and face creams, which are no longer subtle. The one advantage is the actual dunny reek is totally fine and non-existent.

I suffer from chronic sinusitis (fungal at times) and have anosmia at times to varying degrees. When I have no smell or taste at all I use my memory when eating in an attempt to enjoy food. I occassionally have a blast of smell when in a garden or at a food mat and wonder if this is what other's are smelling.
I've had a few mishaps with gas when cooking at home and am now very aware.
I'd love my sense of smell and taste to return more completely.
Thanks for the info.

I would love to be included in any trials that may become available in Australia in the future. I suffered a mild head injury nearly 4 years ago and was diagnosed with anosmia by a neurologist. It was a very traumatic and difficult time and to help me deal with the trauma I started a food blog
I taught myself to cook with sight and sound, focusing on colour and texture and set myself difficult technical challenges just to prove that I could still cook. I can.
Today, I can sometimes detect a handful of smells but sadly, if I can, they're distorted. I continue to live with the hope that I may get better one day and hope that some form of treatment whether it be stem cell or nasal theophylline or the like will become available in Australia and that it's affordable. Fingers and toes crossed :)

Although there is a strong focus on food here, since I had a skull fracture from a fall about a year ago, I experience a deeper sense of loss than simply food-related changes. I cannot smell ANYTHING; my children, my husband, the dog, the woods, smoke, gasoline, bleach; I cannot tell whether I'm drinking tea or coffee, red wine or white, cannot tell whether something is burning in the oven. It's so profound, it's like losing a whole dimension of who I am.

I lost my sense of smell 7 or 8 years ago possibly from a viral infection and/or general anaesthetic . Prior to this I may have been hyper-sensitive to many odours. The detergent aisle in the supermarket was a hold-the-breathe area; candle or soap shops with lots of highly perfumed items were no-go zones; the compost and manure section at the hardware store was challenging. But I loved the smell the bush, especially lemon scented gums. Good food, coffee and the occasional glass of a nice wine were real pleasures.
Initially, I was not aware that I had lost my sense of smell. It was only when someone offered to move a smelly bag of chicken manure for me that I realised I couldn't smell it. After that I started having panic attacks, waking up in the middle of the night wondering if there was something I should be smelling.
Fortunately the panic attacks subsided and a small degree of smell has returned over the years. However, I still triple check the gas is switched off and morn the loss of smells and taste.

Thanks for an interesting discussion on anosmia. I have transient partial anosmias. No, seriously, I really do. It is due to "Gorlin Syndrome" which has various names such as Basal Cell Carcinoma Naevus Syndrome. I often wondered how the associated defect in the Sonic Hedgehog Signalling Pathway could lead to these times of anosmia.
I studied some Psychology, so I learned about some special senses but nothing much about olfaction, so I remain puzzled how GS can have this effect.
I was diagnosed with GS when Dr Georgia Trench from Queensland Institute of Medical Research visitted Adelaide, several years ago. She confirmed my new-found hunch I had GS, and in the formal interview and physical examination, she asked me about one sense only AFAICR; how was my sense of smell! I told her; TERRIBLE! ... that I was aware I was not totally anosmic, but there was clearly a defect. She told me that it "comes and goes"; that explained a bit of my experience, but I remain puzzled about the mechanism of its loss and regain, occurring sporadically over time. I told her that I was amazed that it was part of the disorder, and I remain amazed now.
Working in a Microbiology lab, even partial transient anosmia was a hindrance, as we use olfaction as one clue in recognising clinical bacterial isolates grown from patients' samples. I learned to rely more on other senses and occasionally I passed cultures to colleagues for a confirmatory sniff-test. One day, I was instructing a Dr in practical bacteriology, and saw what looked like Proteus mirabilis swarming across a Columbia horse blood agar plate .... the classic culture morphology .... but no odour! I sniffed _hard_ at the plate ... nothing. That type of culture NORMALLY "clears the sinuses nicely" with just a light sniff; I had often smelled it before AND have, after that day. I told the young Dr sitting next to me that it _looked_ like Proteus, but .... then she managed to ask, gasping for breath; please put a lid on that! She was almost overcome, so I was obviously just anosmic (for that odour) at that time. The memory amuses me, to this day; imagine sniffing hard at a mixture of ammonia, stale urine and dirty socks; it's a _very_ pungent culture!
I am not sure how long the phases of partial anosmias last. I had the impression that they might last less than a day, but I never really tested it.
Fortunately, I can taste foods well (I would not always know what I am missing) but I can be heavy handed with spices like pepper, compared to what other people like. When cooking for others, I am cautious, relying on prepared simmer sauces for curry for example.
If Dr Ngai wants to know more, he can contact me or see the informative American site on BCCNS:

Just missed some of the talk on radio so went to the listen and read online.
Very interesting... have had this condition for almost 40 years but did not know what it was called or that so many people had it.
I had normal sense of smell up until 16 (although had many ear and nose infections and every cold that came round so lots of antibiotics) when met boyfriend who smoked near me all the time and many pets in closed spaces and ended up with no sense of smell, needed polyps removed and got asthma. Since then, cannot smell about 99.9% of the time, however every now and then I can smell some things and occasionally it has come back for a whole day. Mostly strong smells like coffee, petrol (when filling the car), cigarette smoke,etc. Also sometimes if have a cry about something, smell seems to come back for about an hour. Can taste food but think it is probably impaired but it is hard to know exactly how much - just not as strong as others eating same thing. Also get odd smells at strange times like Anna of really weird things that no-one else can smell. Think father had and 1 or 2 brothers have poor sense of smell but do have some sense.
Worst problem is like others of burning house down, cant smell if food burning but have seemed to make it without that yet. Oddly, when children were little, could smell them when they were sick, not when they were well.
Glad to be part of any research to help change the situation.

Hi, I just listened to tour program about living without smell. So I thought I'd pass on my slightly odd smell story. I couldn't breathe through my nose till I was 7 years old, and had my adenoids and tonsils taken out. That meant I also couldn't smell till I was seven. Now, I have a bit of an unusual sense of smell. I often don't notice a smell until someone points it out, and then I can smell it normally. Unfortunately people usually point out bad smells instead of good smells (ie who farted?) however when I'm looking for a smell or expecting one, I have no trouble smelling. I love food and have no trouble with taste. Also when I was young I was very had very active synesthesia, but because people generally didn't know what I meant by coloured sounds, etc. I stopped speaking about this and now I'm just mildly synethesic. I'm not sure if the synesthesia is related to my inability to smell till I was 7. Anyway, I thought I'd pass this on just in case it is of interest. Love your show. Cheers - Heidi

I found the discussion with John Ngai quite interesting. I lost my sense of smell and taste 3 1/2yrs ago,(I am now 54) it was a gradual thing and I have been to a specialist and had x-rays and mri's and nothing appeared to be wrong. I have not suffered any head truama or virus. I find that I depend on texture for the food I eat, and put chili on everything for some sort of sensation. It is very frustrating not being able to smell my husband or my daughter, along with the safety issues about gas,smoke etc.I would be happy to participate in any type of research since it couldn't get any worse.

My sense of smell was never that good, but after recovering from a fractured skull 25 years ago and discovered I could not smell perfume on a woman's wrist under my nose, I realised I'd lost my sense of smell completely and haven't smelled anything since although I can occasionally taste smells when I breath through my mouth. This has had its benefits such as not being bothered when changing my childrens' nappies or taking out the garbage but this palls in comparison with the loss of enjoyment of flowers, perfume, etc and the risks beyond not noticing that nappies need changing. I have three bottles of aftershave my partner chose and I have no idea how they smell.
However, unlike Anna and many other commentators to this story, this has had no impact on my sense of taste, except that it might be slightly less acute. I enjoy all the foods I did before the accident, prefer semillon over chardonnay with fish and deli black pudding over the commercial brands. My partner opines that my preference for Thai and Indian foods is an attempt to compensate, but I remind her that these were my favourite cuisines before my accident.
As the doctors explained it, the fracture squeezed the skull bones slightly and compressed or perhaps severed the nerves between my nose and brain. It would be nice if stem cell research could restore anyone's lost sense of smell, but I don't hold out much hope in my case. But if this was being researched in Australia ...

What a delight to hear your show. Its only the second time I have heard anosmia mentioned on the airwaves. And how comforting to know that my own preference for strong flavours is reflected in the taste habits of other anosmics. I love gamey meats - kangaroo, emu etc - blue cheese, curries & anything spicey. Though I haven't been able to smell for as long as I can remember, I am considered by friends and family to be a better than average cook, which is also considered something of a mystery. And though my lack of smell caused me to burn a million cooking pots (until, that is, I discovered the joys of stove top glass) nearly "die" in two fires,suffocate in a car that was leaking carbon monoxide & endangered by house gas leaks, these days I am more interested in the impact anosmia has had on my memory and emotional intelligence than on my taste. Can't give the reference unfortunately, but the sensible answer to the oft posed question about if you had to lose a sense would you rather lose sight or smell is according to some scientists, not smell but sight. Recent research suggests that "we" smell other people's emotions, like "we" smell fear. So eg when someone else is bored by your talk you know because you smell it. The first time I heard this light bulbs of recongition went off in my head (i have a reputation for being calm in crises but take way to long to tell stories) the same way as light bulbs of recognition went off in my head when my science teacher announced to my 16 year old self after I showed no reaction to rotten egg gas that I was anosmic. It made sense of a thousand childhood experiences. Unlike your guests however, I have no desire to have my sense of smell retuned to me. Who knows what those long forgotten smells will reference emotionally? I have been happily anosmic for 50 years and hope to be for another 50 more. Love your show Michael. Happy to cook you dinner anytime you find yourself in Alice Springs. Rest assured the flavours will be strong rather than subtle. Thanks for enriching my Saturdays.

The New York Times ran an interview on Wednesday with Tony Krantz, director of another Spokane-filmed thriller, "The Big Bang," starring Antonio Banderas. Here's a link
The Times said the movie is "undoubtedly one of the stranger films to make it to theaters this year," and compared it to some of David Lynch's movies.
The movie will be released today in New York and L.A. only. That will probably be the extent of the theatrical release. It comes out on DVD and Blu-Ray on May 24

Here's a great idea for saving some big money for the state of Idaho. We would automatically install Butch Otter as the next governor and Jim Risch as lieutenant governor. Those two races are going to be the most lopsided in the history of the state. Otter's democratic opponent, former owner of the Idaho Falls Register, is virtually unknown outside his newspaper's circulation area, and Risch, with superior credentials for the office he seeks, will easily outdistance Larry LaRocco, a former Democrat congressman from the Gem State.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best books I have ever read!,
This review is from: The Island (Paperback)
A colleague of mine mentioned this book to me when she found out I was going to Crete for a holiday, but I didn't buy or read it until after I came back from Crete. During our visit to Crete, we went on a tour of the island of Spinalonga. It was one of the most interesting tours I have ever been on. So, upon my return, I bought this book and it has become a little piece of treasure for me. The way Victoria Hislop has written the book makes it very easy to get lost in the isolated island and the emotions of the people banished there. Of course, it made it so much more meaningful and easier to picture the island as I had visited it, but even if you hadn't, she makes it very easy to picture the island and the situation and hardships the people faced as well. It is also a true testament of the human spirit. It is definitely a book you will not put down and will want to keep. I liked it so much I bought my Mom a copy (after telling her all about my trip), and even though she has never been to Greece, she really enjoyed the book as well. It also lets the reader experience the true spirit and lifestyle of the Greeks. Like most people who have had the privilege of spending time in Greece, I am absolutely in love with the Greeks and their culture. Beautiful book. I would highly recommend it to anyone!

This review is from: The Island (Paperback)
Once I started the book I didn't want to put it down. Characters were believable. Lived in Italy when I read the book, sent it to Nova Scotia for my Mom to read, she sent it on to her sister in law who then passed it on to my cousins.
5.0 out of 5 stars Recommend,
This review is from: The Island (Paperback)
This is a lovely summer read and it is an important book for Crete. It really gives you a great sense of the rich fabric of people and their customs from 1930-1960.
This book has become a television series in Greece.

Jenny M (Nova Scotia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Island (Paperback)
A friend of mine had bought this book and she recommended it to me. Let me tell you I could not put it down. The author wrote so meticulously and beautifully, I could feel every emotion in this book. It was so detailed I felt like I was watching these characters and could feel their pain, sorrow and happiness.
I now recommend this book to everyone I know. I won't tell you the details on the story line, I want everyone to experience it like I did.
I can't wait to read other books from Victoria.
Well done!

Edmonton Book Lover "Edmonton Book Lover" (Edmonton, Alberta Canada) - See all my reviews
This is a beautifully written book, full of hope, despair, love, anger. The book traces a family history in the shadow of Spinaloga, an island off the coast of Crete. Anyone who has ever been to Crete and fallen in love with the place and it's people, as my husband and I did, must read this book.

|I have been reading a few posts on Baumfarn.at, an Austrian site on tree ferns etc, and one guy showed a pic of a brown tuber he got from a market. From what i can gather it is called a Suran. Is that a widely available vegetable on markets etc, as it seems it is used in cooking!

dkmnow commented on the blog post Bill Keller Ponders What Would Have Happened if NYT Published Information from Bradley Manning
Yeah, Bill, as if a mere email or followup phone call would have been enough to get NYT interested. Everyone forget — FOR-GET — the quagmire of crap Ellsberg had to trudge through to get NYT interested in publishing the Pentagon Papers.
But then, I keep forgetting, "history is bunk."
No, Keller wants to believe he's all about speaking trupppth to power, and for that, he needs all of us to believe it first. Who am I do deny poor ol' Bill his favorite senile delusion?
Considering how little basis you had for judging my position, I congratulate you on your Omniscience. Was that given unto you by God, Himself, or was it among the Normal Superpowerz restored to you by the Infinite Benevolence of the clinical psych professions?
Please read my response to EvilDrPuma — and in the future, please consider the potential benefits of actually having some basis in fact before presuming to represent another person's position.
Thank you.
Decades ago, homosexuality was officially recognized as a mental illness. If it was a real illness then, why isn't it an illness today? Likewise, Gender Identity Disorder has finally been removed from the upcoming DSM-5. Now, this will create significant funding problems for a large number of very vulnerable people, but at the same time, it will help to reduce the stigma that society has long heaped upon transgendered persons. But the question remains: Is GID a Real Mental Illness, or isn't it? And this is hardly an uncommon question to ask about DSM-defined conditions. Virtually anyone who has studied the process of how DSM diagnoses are derived can tell you that such conundrums abound in connection with virtually every DSM label.
But this is peripheral to my point. I'll put it another way. Is it ethical to condone and participate in a popular cultural behavior that entails using people who have been labeled with "mental illnesses" — be they real, imagined, or falsely assigned — by equating them with any or all of the biggest a$$holes in our vaunted "normal" society? Is this not an ill-considered and casually dismissive way of exacerbating the stigma already heaped upon those who suffer from mental illnesses?
Not clear enough? Okay. How about when several million of society's least criminal, most law-abiding, and most uniquely vulnerable citizens suddenly find they are being categorically equated with mass-murderers by tens of millions of others, and, in addition to their pre-existing disadvantages, are now being routinely targeted with a terrifying escalation of slander/libel, discrimination, harassment, assault, and worse?
Or is the casual promotion of stigma and the sustaining of popular biases against any & all labelled "mentally ill" not really a Real™ problem? Perhaps you've gotten all comfy with the notion that it's not your problem. I would hope that the gratuitously predatory media-driven fallout from the Sandy Hook incident might have shown you otherwise by now. "First they came for the communists…"
While you're busy not standing out, one group is standing up. But after they've rounded up all the autistics, who will be left to stand up for you?
Do I have to show you my scars now?
I'm guessing you've never been labelled with a 'mental illness.' I think it's about time we lay that particular genre of all-purpose retorts to rest — one instance at a time, one person at a time, day by day, from now on. I'm ready to start doing my part. How 'bout you?
dkmnow commented on the blog post Kicked off of the air on CNN, Bryan Fischer says: CNN is 'What the Gay Gestapo Looks Like in Action'
My first thought: Wow. There may be hope for CNN yet!
Well, a fragment of a crumb of hope, yeah. But … HEY, LOOK: HOPE!
Still, I think it's important for us all to make sure @BryanJFischer is given the credit he deserves, thus to go down in history as "The Inventor of the Gay Gestapo."
Who's with me?
dkmnow commented on the blog post No, the Mandate Doesn't Affect Just 2-5% of the Population
Wow, again. Did I fart, or something?
Well, never let it be said that I don't know how to clear a room.
Except for the crickets, of course.
dkmnow commented on the blog post No, the Mandate Doesn't Affect Just 2-5% of the Population
The GOP Wishes to Thank Obama for Criminalizing Poverty
PREDICTION: After attempting to qualify for exemption from mandate, conspicuously large numbers of applicants will find themselves facing IRS audits. Indeed, the IRS — with all it's putative charms — will very likely become the de facto "enforcement" arm for the individual mandate. Or do the "reformers" expect to set up a whole new agency for that? I seriously doubt it.
Okay, that probably demonstrated considerable ignorance on my part. And there's more where that came from. So, here goes:
From what little I truly understand (cough), my impression is that this "reform" offers me a real choice: I can either commit suicide, or I can wait patiently to be thrown in jail for "evading" my financial responsibilities. I hope I'm wrong, but it really does appear that I will be effectively criminalized by "Obamacare."
Why? Because:
1) I CAN'T obtain traditional employment, nor could I sustain such for more than a few months at a time (presently, I can only tolerate NON-social volunteer work requiring only very limited skills — work for which the government gives absolutely NO acknowledgment whatsoever)
2) I CAN'T prove disability in accordance with (pathetically crude) government standards (my diagnosis, while accurate, has never been acknowledged by gov't on its own merits, and is currently being stripped from the relevant diagnostic manual by a professional body that's hell-bent on pandering to special interest groups)
3) I CAN'T afford even the vaguest shadow of a discount "health insurance" policy (my monthly income is LESS that what food stamps provide — and, no, I can't qualify for food stamps. Do the math.)
4) I CAN'T make a career out of maintaining the constant pretense of absolute helplessness — a patently ludicrous pretense that's presently required for even the most blatantly legitimate of disability claims. I don't possess a fraction of the Machiavellian "social skills" required to effectively maintain such a pretense for so much as five minutes, much less a day, a month, a year, or a lifetime.
So. We've been all over this, my family and I, exploring every "option" and trying to find some way — ANY lawful way — of fixing any of the above, only to finally give up in the face of unmitigated frustration.
But now I stroll into Nirvana on the shoulders of the Great & Benevolent Health Care Reform™, which in its infinite generosity, offers me a "Real Choice" (see above). Yeah. Wow. I can have my hemlock with, OR without, a side order of interminable gang-rape. My choice. Just, Wow.
At this point, it seems my only other "option" would be to commit outright fraud.
I Refuse To Commit Fraud.
Therefore, I'm a criminal.
Someone please tell me I'm wrong about this — and mean it.
[Oh. Sorry for the book-length comment. I'm caffeinated. Sue me.]

dkmnow commented on the blog post Late Late Night FDL: All Blues
Call me uncultured, call me pedestrian, or call me a cab. But it's just not really The Blues unless you can hear John Bonham's bass pedal squeak on the upbeat.
I'm sure there's a great political analogy in that, somewhere, but I'm not nearly clever enough to tease it out. Maybe something about my lost, musically-deprived youth, countless hours tragically wasted, reading Ayn Rand while too stoned to realize what I was seeing…

Pat Buchanan: Will the War Party goad a gullible America into war?
Two Israeli Cabinet members claimed credible evidence. Justice Minister Tzipi Livni said, "It's clear for us that (gas is) being used. ... This ... should be on the table in the discussions."
Yet, 72 hours later, the United States still could not confirm that gas was used, and Syria and Russia have called on U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-moon to investigate whether it was used, and if so, by whom.
What's going on here?
It does not require Inspector Clouseau to surmise this may be a fabrication to stampede the ever-gullible Americans into plunging into Syria to win the war for the al-Qaida-saturated Syrian rebels.
But sucking America into Syria's civil war is only a near-term goal for the War Party, which is after larger game - greasing the skids for a U.S. war on Iran.
And lest we underestimate the War Party, the likelihood is they will get their war. For they have already gotten Obama to make concessions that are steering us inexorably toward such a war.
First, Obama was persuaded to declare it U.S. policy that, where Iran's uranium-enrichment program is concerned, "All options are on the table!" Translation: Absent major concessions by Iran, proving she is not seeking a nuclear weapon, war against Iran is in the cards.
Yet, even as Obama parrots the mantra, "All options are on the table," he has been persuaded to take off the table the option that won the Cold War, the George Kennan option of containment and deterrence.
Obama has been goaded into proclaiming that though America contained an evil empire that spanned 13 time zones and possessed thousands of nukes, containment cannot work with Iran.
Why not? Because the ayatollah, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and the mullahs, we are solemnly instructed, are religious fanatics who could easily opt for committing collective suicide should they get a bomb - by using that bomb on us.
This, of course, is to attribute to Iran's leaders an insanity they have never exhibited. Not in memory has Iran started a war. Saddam attacked Iran, not the other way around. When the Vincennes shot down an Iranian airliner, Ayatollah Khomeini himself ordered the Iraq war ended for fear America was about to intervene on Baghdad's side.
Now we come to the sinister role of the U.S. Senate in setting the table for war. Consider what Senate Joint Resolution 65, crafted at AIPAC, the Israeli Lobby, and now being shopped around for signing by Sen. Lindsey Graham and Sen. Robert Menendez, does.
SR 65 radically alters U.S. policy by declaring it to be "the policy of the United States ... to prevent Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapons capability and to take such action as may be necessary to implement this policy."
Obama's policy - no nuclear weapons in Iran - is tossed out. Substituted for it in SR 65 is Bibi Netanyahu's policy - "no nuclear weapons capability" in Iran.
Now, as Iran already has that "capability" - as does Germany, Japan, South Korea and other nations who have forsworn nuclear weapons - what SR 65 does is authorize the United States to attack Iran - to stop her from what she is doing now. Yet, according to all 16 U.S. intelligence agencies, Iran does not have a nuclear bomb program.
Critically, SR 65 goes further and "urges that if the Government of Israel is compelled to take military action in self-defense, the United States Government should ... provide diplomatic, military and economic support to the Government of Israel in its defense of its territory, people and existence."
Translation: Should Bibi attack Iran, the Senate urges the U.S. military to join in that attack. SR 65 is a blank check to Bibi to go to war with Iran, with a U.S. Senate commitment to join him.
Coupled with House Resolution 850, which calls for crushing new sanctions, SR 65 is designed to so enrage and humiliate Iran that her delegates walk out of negotiations - and war inevitably ensues.
Here then is War Party calendar and countdown.
First, rule out containment and deterrence of Iran, though that policy won the Cold War. Second, rule in a U.S. war on Iran if Tehran does not yield to all our demands in nuclear negotiations.
Third, ensure the negotiations fail by repeated insults, threats, sanctions, and intolerable demands that so humiliate the Iranians that, enraged, they say "to hell with it" and walk out of the talks.
Then, by default, the last "option" left for dealing with Iran - even if she still has not tested a bomb or enriched uranium to bomb grade - will be U.S. air strikes on Fordow and Natanz, cheered on by a War Party that dreams of this day and that war.
Preventing another generation of war dead delivered to Dover should be the first priority of American patriots.
