Offering tacos and tequila 7 days a week, Mamasita is one of those CBD staples that still manages to boast dangerously long queues and a solid following that, three years on, doesn't seem to falter. Though it's a little quieter on the earlier days of the week, on a Monday night it's still quite a noisy place, with the tables placed quite snugly together and the sangria flowing by the jug.
Elotes callejeros (v) ($4.9)
A visit to Mamasita wouldn't be complete without ordering the fan fave 'street style' char-grilled corn – doused in queso, chipotle mayo and lime, it's a simple tapas dish that's served on a stick. The corn is ever so sweet and is complemented well by a kick of chipotle mayo.Tostaditas de Carnitas ($14)
Tostaditas de Carnitas ($14)
Our favourite for the night is the tostaditas de carnitas. It's a little pricey at 4 for $14, but the slow braised pork shoulder shredded over the top is gorgeously tender and packed with flavour and pickled jalapenos. It's a little messy to eat (I don't think that I could fit this one in one bite!) but absolutely delicious.Plátanos Machos ($7)
Plátanos Machos ($7)
I'd never tried the fried plantains before, but boy; they were good! Served with the same gorgeous salsa that accompanies the tacos, they were super thin and crunchy and complemented well by a generous sprinkle of delicious cheese.Tacos ($6 ea)
Taco salsa
Taco de Lengua y Cachete ($6)
It may seem odd but we've never been fans of Mamasita's tacos. We ordered these two thinking that we'd give them another go but unfortunately I still remain unconvinced and find them both to be lacking in depth and flavour. The taco de lengua y cachete is served with pickled veg, ghost chilli and mayo, braised ox tongue and cheek. The ox tongue itself is crispy and chewy in the right areas, though the ghost chilli mayo was almost absent and the dish would've been quite bland if it weren't for the serving of salsa on the side.Taco de Pescado ($6)
The grilled fish taco was better, with a more generous serving of meat with lime, achiote paste, red onion salsa & chipotle mayo. I found the taco shells to be quite dry and almost rough, and ultimately a little unpleasant to eat. For a light dinner and decent, reliable food, I was pleasantly surprised to find the bill for Mamasita to come out at around $40. Whilst I'd give those tacos a miss for good on my next visit, I'd definitely order those tostaditas again in a heartbeat. Though perhaps only on Monday nights when I know for sure that I won't have to come to terms with the line that goes out from the 1st floor right onto the street on busier nights.

I Believe Kitchen Appliance manufacturers may be, out of ignorance, limiting their market share in removing model sizes compatible with Appliance Garage size Generally 10+" deep by 14+" high (tambor door)and 24+" wide.I believe the model unavailability is reducing kitchen garage popularity in response to the appropriate model size availabilities. I believe that any manufacturer advertising appliance model size options compatible with fitting in appliance garages to help people keep their counter tops uncluttered, with a quality appliance will not capture market attention as being attentive to the needs of the customer and dramatically increase sales. For some it only meas re-introducing prior, appropriately sized models with possible minor cosmetic changes.
I have encountered this issue in replacing a toaster oven where, after extensive internet search, found only one an Elite cuisine two slice from Amazon (predominantly used in small kitchens and mobile homes. Prior to this I had GE/Black & Decker and other brands that were no more than 10+ inches deep. I also could only find one cone filter Auto-drip coffer-maker to replace my Braun "Aromaster" that was less than 14+' tall. It is a 12 cup Hamilton Beach and does not allow an option of a "permanent" type filter as the Aromaster did. Those of you share this concern, please, help in getting this into public discourse. Noting public trends in designing kitchens in stating kitchen garages are less popular doe us an injustice, as it does not look into the potential and likely causes of them. I believe it is the easy way of dealing with inconveniences, just adapting too them. Eventually, somebody will capitalize on meeting needs. In this case minimizing kitchen clutter and maintaining convenient access to storage and use of our kitchen appliances. |

The Bible does not support Zionism (the geopolitical variety anyway)
Submitted by Steven of Virginia on Fri, 11/16/2012 - 20:40My liberty friends, you will hear in heightened tones from your "Christian" friends and family that the bible mandates we " christian/ americans" must support the State of Israel. The bible does not endorse any geo-political entity. Please take time to watch and listen to this relatively short documentary and share it with those who are willing to consider that this long held assumption may in fact be a distortion of biblical truth, by those with narrow political and economic interests. This false mantra(meme) exits in many of my generation (50 and up) and is passed down to the next. Please watch> http://vimeo.com/29901084 Political Zionism is racism and "un-christian" because it requires one to show favoritism, which God does not do. **Then Peter began to speak: "I now realize how true it is that God does not show favoritism.....
**Acts 10:33-35

Perhaps we should start a new thread on logic and debate theory.
I do not presume to know what you want. However, I do not work for you.
Logically, either what I state is true or not. Were I speaking of some kind of arcane knowledge, knowledge that were not public, or asserting a novel idea I came up with, then you are correct, I would be required to present it or, logically, it would be Ipse Dixit.
In this case, however, you personally already have the proof. You've just decided to not avail yourself of it. That is not Ipse Dixit.
Just as I do not need to present and interpret Principia Mathematica to you to have a discussion of gravity, neither am I required to do your research of this public, open, available knowledge for you to feed it to you like a 2 year old.
My provision of that information or failure to provide it neither changes its existence or content. On the flip side, your ignorance or knowledge of it neither changes its existence or content.

So you do agree that Palestinian are Jew
1. So both the European Jews from Poland/Russia/etc share the same descendant as the Palestinian.
2. So now that we understood that, the next question is who has more right to the land?
3. Imagine a guy from Virginia and a guy from California arguing which one of them should be able to live in San Francisco.
4. The Virginia guy argue that since Virginia is part of "Original America" it has more historical cloud.
5. The California guy argue since San Francisco has always been part of California, then he should be able to live there.
6. The best is for them to BOTH live there as AMERICANS.
7. Similar with Palestine/Israel. The best if for them to live together like they did before WW1. However, Israel dont want this because they want a race-based state.
- Login to post comments
I don't know about Palestineans
I'll stipulate if you say you have seen the DNA evidence that they are descendant from the 12 tribes.
The European Jewish settlers in Israel are also descendant from the 12 tribes with extremely tight correlation as measured by Y-DNA.
I didn't address any of the foreign policy concerns and frankly don't care because it's not my business. That's a separate issue from what the DNA data shows.

Ashkenazi Jews DNA says they are not SEMITIC!!!
The Y Chromosome Pool of Jews as Part of the Genetic Landscape of the Middle East http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0002929707...
1 Department of Hematology, Hebrew University–Hadassah Medical School, Jerusalem
2 Hadassah University Hospital, Hebrew University–Hadassah School of Dental Medicine, Jerusalem
3 Laboratory of Biological Anthropology and Ancient DNA, Hebrew University–Hadassah School of Dental Medicine, Jerusalem
4 Institut für Rechtsmedizin, Westfälische Wilhelms-Universität, Münster, Germany
5 Anthropology and Human Genetics Unit, Indian Statistical Institute, Calcutta
A sample of 526 Y chromosomes representing six Middle Eastern populations (Ashkenazi, Sephardic, and Kurdish Jews from Israel; Muslim Kurds; Muslim Arabs from Israel and the Palestinian Authority Area; and Bedouin from the Negev) was analyzed for 13 binary polymorphisms and six microsatellite loci. The investigation of the genetic relationship among three Jewish communities revealed that Kurdish and Sephardic Jews were indistinguishable from one another, whereas both differed slightly, yet significantly, from Ashkenazi Jews. The differences among Ashkenazim may be a result of low-level gene flow from European populations and/or genetic drift during isolation. Admixture between Kurdish Jews and their former Muslim host population in Kurdistan appeared to be negligible. In comparison with data available from other relevant populations in the region, Jews were found to be more closely related to groups in the north of the Fertile Crescent (Kurds, Turks, and Armenians) than to their Arab neighbors. The two haplogroups Eu 9 and Eu 10 constitute a major part of the Y chromosome pool in the analyzed sample. Our data suggest that Eu 9 originated in the northern part, and Eu 10 in the southern part of the Fertile Crescent. Genetic dating yielded estimates of the expansion of both haplogroups that cover the Neolithic period in the region. Palestinian Arabs and Bedouin differed from the other Middle Eastern populations studied here, mainly in specific high-frequency Eu 10 haplotypes not found in the non-Arab groups. These chromosomes might have been introduced through migrations from the Arabian Peninsula during the last two millennia. The present study contributes to the elucidation of the complex demographic history that shaped the present-day genetic landscape in the region.
The Middle East played a crucial role in early human history. Its strategic location at the crossroads of three continents facilitated the movements of peoples and the spread of novel technologies and ideas. At the beginning of the Neolithic period (∼10,500 years ago), the Fertile Crescent of the Middle East was one of the few centers in which the transition from hunting-gathering to permanent settlement and farming took place (Bar-Yosef 1995). Previous genetic studies suggested that demic diffusion of Neolithic farmers, rather than cultural transmission, was responsible for the dispersal of domesticates and technological innovations from the Middle East to Europe, North Africa, and southwest Asia (Cavalli-Sforza et al. 1994; Richards et al. 2000; Semino et al. 2000; Quintana-Murci et al. 2001).
Polymorphisms on the nonrecombining part of the Y chromosome have become powerful tools for the investigation of genetic diversity in males, complementing the information from the maternally inherited mtDNA. Y chromosome variants were shown to be much more localized geographically than mtDNA or autosomal polymorphisms (Seielstad et al. 1998). The study of population history has gained enormous momentum with the recent introduction of a large number of new binary or biallelic Y chromosome polymorphic markers (Underhill et al. 2000). The typing of these markers in a set of worldwide populations led to a comprehensive and detailed Y chromosome phylogeny.
When microsatellites are analyzed within a haplogroup classified by binary polymorphisms, a measure of diversity is added that allows evaluation of interpopulation affinities at fine resolution (Hurles et al. 1999; Helgason et al. 2000; Nebel et al. 2000; Thomas et al. 2000; Kayser et al. 2001). In addition, microsatellite variation provides an estimation of time depth and, hence, facilitates the investigation of the origin and spread of haplogroups and permits placement of the genealogical projections in the context of known or surmised historical events (Zerjal et al. 1997; Hurles et al. 1998; Quintana-Murci et al. 2001). Particular high-frequency modal haplotypes have been shown to be associated with genealogies defined by religious status (Thomas et al. 1998) or surnames that are transmitted along male lines (Sykes and Irven 2000). The Cohen modal haplotype (CMH) has been described as the signature haplotype of the paternally inherited Jewish priesthood (Thomas et al. 1998).
Previous investigations based on binary Y chromosome polymorphisms suggested a common origin for Jewish and non-Jewish populations living in the Middle East (Santachiara-Benerecetti et al. 1993; Hammer et al. 2000). Our recent study of high-resolution microsatellite haplotypes demonstrated that a substantial portion of Y chromosomes of Jews (70%) and of Palestinian Muslim Arabs (82%) belonged to the same chromosome pool (Nebel et al. 2000). Of those Palestinian chromosomes, approximately one-third formed a group of very closely related haplotypes that were only rarely found in Jews. Altogether, the findings indicated a remarkable degree of genetic continuity in both Jews and Arabs, despite their long separation and the wide geographic dispersal of Jews.

LOL Nice try.
"Significant" in science is like 1%. What did I post earlier? Sephardic relationship to 12 tribes 98+%, Ashkenaz relationship 90+% and Azhkenaz vs. Sephardim = close to 95%.
So explain to me how what I wrote here or what you wrote above means that Ashkenaz are NOT related to the 12 tribes or are descendant from Asiatic Khazars.

That's what you're going to use
to try to prove the Bible doesn't predict the return of the Israelites to Palestine and the reforming of the nation of Israel? The fellow who did the documentary doesn't even believe what he is supposedly trying to support in an effort to refute a belief he doesn't understand.
There are literally dozens of Bible verses that predict the return of the Jews and the restoration of Israel in Palestine. It happened in 1948. Human beings had no way of knowing that on their own 2,000-3,000 years ago. Whether or not we agree with Israel carving out its own country and running over the Palestinians is completely irrelevant to what the Bible has to say about the restoration of Israel.
"But, I don't believe the Bible."
Well, that didn't stop the Bible from being accurate as far as the country of Israel is concerned. I can choose to believe the story of the Puritans landing at Plymouth is a myth, that doesn't change history.

To Dixie: I believe the Bible
I just don't believe Scofield's notes. If you read the Bible and allow it to interpret itself, I believe you'll find it's very clear that the prophecies you seem to think are being fulfilled in our generation were actually fulfilled long ago.
It's kind of sad that Dispensationalists claim to take the Bible so literally, except for the meanings of simple words like "soon," "at hand," and interpreting "this generation" to mean "the generation living in the 21st century" (it used to mean the generation of 1948 -- 40 years -- but since that didn't happen, the definition of a generation is now much longer to fit the futurist Dispensational view).

yes, and those verses can also be interpreted to mean that . . .
at some point (before or after 1948) Jews will be given a homeland by the Messiah, not the U.N./Britain/America.
And the fact that not all Jews are in Israel and that not all the Jews in Israel are practicing Jews--
makes it even more complicated.
There is a verse in one of the minor prophets (I can't pinpoint where right now) where it is prophesied that 2/3 of the Jews will be killed in the wars preceding the ocming of Jesus Christ or Messiah--
I don't believe in trying to make that happen (unlike the Christian Zionists), but at some point those who have lived violence will be destroyed--
it's a given. And those who have proclaimed peace will live--
I believe that there have been changes made to parts, especially, of the Old Testament--
and I do believe that God plans to gather His people--
but His people are all over the world, not just those who label themselves a particular label, and His people are those who ACT like His people--
Peaceful Jews were returning on their own to Palestine and getting along with the Muslims/Arabs there before 1948--
that was hijacked by the U.N./Zionists/British--
which gathering was valid?
It remains to be seen--
but those African Jews who are of African descent whose DNA prove levitical lineage (can't find the WSJ article that talked about it in the early 90s) who went to Israel to be 'gathered' were sorely disappointed at how they were treated, because they were black--
lots of discrepancies--
Frankly, I'd rather support Rabbi Weiss and his group--
peaceable Jews who are waiting for Messiah to give them a land, without bloodshed--
but that land has already been saturated in blood--
it's hard to be awake; it's easier to dream--

You can't pinpoint...
... where in the Bible it's stated that 2/3 of the Jews will be killed before the return of Christ because it isn't in the Bible!
I wish American Christians who read these sensationalist futurist books would read the Bible for a change. The country would be a lot better off!
- Login to post comments
that's not true; it is--
in one of the minor prophets--
I will find it--
I have never read a sensationalist futurist book--
whatever that is--
I found it while reading the bible once; it doesn't use the exact same words; it's something like 1 in 3 will be saved when Jesus comes; the same prophecy could apply to all the humans in the world--
I know someone who knows where it is, and I'll get the reference for you--
I don't subscribe to Scofield or his bible or to any of the Christian Zionists--
I don't believe that Jews are any more wicked than any other people or will be when Jesus comes--
what I do believe is that the Old Testament was meant for the children of Israel, so the warnings were to them and their descendants--
in all probability 2/3 of the people in the world will be killed, whether by nuclear holocaust or famine, etc.--
it's hard to be awake; it's easier to dream--

I wasn't clear in my post and I meant no offense to you.
You're right -- Zechariah 13:8 speaks of that -- but I believe it's a prophecy about the fall of Jerusalem in 70 AD. Christ told believers to "flee to the mountains" (Matthew 24:16). In fact, believers were warned time and again throughout the NT about the coming fall of Jerusalem.
If there were a nuke attack on Jerusalem now, I highly doubt fleeing the city to the nearby mountains would save anybody. It's clearly, I strongly believe, fulfilled prophecy.

could be--
I wish no destruction on any nation/people, anywhere--
but I think that some of the Jews who are peaceable are very wise not to live in Israel! These people are preparing for the Messiah--
and I think this is pleasing to God--
Many of the Torah Jews really are preparing for the Messiah--
and many of them are not in Israel--
I don't think God is pleased with people who stick on the label and don't have any change in their hearts--
but that is just my opinion--
and you owe me no apology, and I can understand that you might think that prophesy was fulfilled--
one of the things *I* like about believing in God and believing He has a plan for His children is that . . .
I feel quite confident that someday we will all know the truth, all of it--
I'm sorry I didn't get that reference to you earlier, too--
I did think about it; I got caught up in the drama of being part of a family that is going many different directions--
it's hard to be awake; it's easier to dream--

Like all Ron Paul supporters,
I wish the UN had never been created.
But, the geopolitical nation of Israel wasn't dependent on the UN for creation. If the UN hadn't existed, the Jews would have still created their own state. That was after all the main reason the Haganah was terrorizing the British, trying to make them leave.
No, it wasn't fair to the Arabs. But, they were unwilling to live as loyal, equal, Israeli citizens, or as a peaceful, non-citizenized minority, something Ben-Gurion repetitively offered them and they were unable to drive the Jews into the Mediterranean (kind of like militant Native Americans were unwilling to live peaceably under U.S. rule and unable to drive the Europeans into the Atlantic).
I'm a Christian who believes the reestablishment of Israel is a part of God's plan for the future. That doesn't mean I believe we should try to "make prophecy happen." I believe if it's in the Bible, it's going to happen in God's timing regardless of what we do. But, once again, just because God promised to restore the descendants of Abraham and their nation to the former land of Canaan does not mean Israel and its leaders are in favor with God. That won't happen until Christ returns to Earth and the Jews repent nationally for rejecting Him when He came the first time.

I am a Christian, too--
and I don't believe that the nation will be established by temporal powers, but by God--
and those Jews who have refused to go along with the temporal powers are the ones most likely to be there when Jesus Christ is acknowledged as their Lord and Savior, not the ones who have been majoring in warfare--
Jesus Christ is the Prince of Peace--
Most of the first Israeli 'settlers' weren't even believing Jews; they came from Russia (many) with a lot of communistic ideas--
and had little patience with Orthodox Jews.
Orthodox Jews are the Jews who really believe in God (Yah-Weh) or G-D--
they are the ones who have large families, are powerfully pro-life and don't believe in spreading war and destruction.
They are the ones who want to live peaceably. Those who do not share those values (who are Jewish) will more than likely cause their own destruction, and the Jews who did not uphold the temporal state--
who believe in the spiritual gathering--
will be here to fall down at His Feet and worship Him--
I've been reading the bible my entire life, and I read it over and over and over again, especially Revelations, but also the minor prophets. I have dissected every possible prophecy--
How many Jews do you know, practicing Jews?
I know very few who practice. I know a lot of Jews; there are some in my family--
most of them have become Christians--
Those who were raised in Orthodox families have mostly become atheists. I think this is interesting. If they are atheists, what is the point of having a land promised to *them* by God?
The one Orthodox-raised family member we have who took regular trips to Israel as a child--
could care less about the country now--
it's just another country, though his children, mostly now Christians, have gone over there--

The current state of Israel
does not fit he description of the nation that Jesus will restore as prophesied in the OT. Furthermore, all of the Jews aren't even in Israel, much less the descendants of the lost ten tribes that God promised to one day reunite with Judah (the Jews). However, I do believe the reestablishment of the geo-political nation of Israel was God's preparation for the future. That doesn't mean Christians should support all of Israel's actions or leaders, or even insist our country financially and/or militarily support Israel. But, I do think we should support Israel's right to existence.

I agree with your first three lines--
The fact is that Israel does exist. Unlike the Orthodox Jews who call for the peaceable disassembling of Israel, I won't go that far.
But I will continue to support those who protest Israel's treatment of Palestinians, including the many, many Jews around the world and in Israel who don't believe Israel has been playing 'fair'--
I've never even dreamt of destruction coming to the state of Israel; I don't hope for it--
I just can't champion the cause of those who oppress others--
If I had been alive in the 1800s and before when the native Americans were being exterminated in the U.S. territories, I would hope that I would have felt the same way.
I had at least one ancestor who did--
who protested the treatment of the native Americans by the government and settlers and who befriended (closely) an Indian chief--
makes me kind of proud.
I know things still aren't good on reservations, too, and I support those who are trying to right the wrongs--

Fellow Christian you are mistaken!!!
If you want the true biblical history of Israel I highly recommend this video.
Description: Tradition holds that those who are born of the sons of Abraham can receive salvation by this merit alone. There are many people who claim to be from the tribes of Israel. This DVD examines this belief in light of Scripture. What was the purpose of Israel? Does salvation come through the Jewish nation? Is salvation even possible through birthright? The meaning of the Jewish feasts is also examined, along with the question of the name of Jesus.

salvation through Abrahamic bloodline?
Salvation through Abrahamic bloodline? Garbage and not according to scripture. Abraham was saved by his faith in the coming Messiah. We are saved by our faith in the Messiah who came. It's all the same. Faith in Jesus=salvation. This is the teaching of the Bible.

You're misreading my beliefs big time.
I don't believe descendants of Abraham are saved through their blood relationship to him.

Why use religion as excuse for war?
Actually it is NOT true that "...Hamas has picked a fight with Israel.."
The US just helped Egypt turn over control to the Muslim Brotherhood with this Arab Spring nonsense!! (CIA-manufactured OWS movement)
But here is the real kicker...... caught on video..
Netanyahu admits on video that Israel is the aggressor/oppressor in Gaza but that dumb Americans (80%) will still support him and claim Israel is 'defending' themselves. It's because dumb Americans can't separate Zionism (which is what has the gov't turning on us in the tea party by the way, and why the GOP banishes real conservatives from the party) from Judaism. Glenn Beck is a moron when he promotes it as the same - Zionism is not religion-based... nothing to do with it and our GOP has their head stuck up Zionist butts as well.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JrtuBas3Ipw (around :30 he says it, with subtitles)
Nice eh? (Watch it before it's taken down)
From what I have seen Gazans live in a concentration camp-like situation where they are not even allowed to walk the streets freely.
When are people going to wake up and realize that Zionism (which is NOT Judaism) is running our country for the worse? They ran Romney and did some really nasty things to anyone who even spoke out against his war policies. (That's another story -- Michael Schueur is still feeling the hurt from Romney's controllers for speaking out in favor of non-interventionism)
Note that I am NOT supporting 'terrorists' who are the creation of the governments on both sides, I am saying it's time we stop funding BOTH sides and get the hell out of this middle east mess. The result is we depose duly elected presidents and replace them with the Muslim Brotherhood and other socialist radicals such as in Egypt and currently in Syria where we are actually employing Al Qaeda. We are not sending our boys to die fighting for our freedom, but to spread the elites NEW WORLD ORDER, ONE WORLD GOVERNMENT thanks to these operatives.
REAL JEWS do not support zionism either and were seen protesting in the streets burning their own flag. The whole world is sick of what the USA, Israel and the UN is doing.
Remember, Zionism is NOT anti-Semitic and has nothing to do with Judaism! (Semitic refers to all peoples of that region, not just Jews... not al Jews are semitic, some are of German or Swiss or even French heritage...)
So bottom line is, we should not take sides in these 'wars' and we certainly should not use religion as an excuse to support one country's annihilation of another!

Zionism was inevitable.
The Jews weren't going to all stay in Europe after WWII, especially when hundreds of thousands of their ethnic brethren had migrated to the Promised Land. And Jews and Arab Palestinians weren't living like brothers either before 1947-48. There had been sporadic outbursts of violence between the two ethnic groups for decades. The fact is neither side was willing to live subjugated to the other once the British pulled out. War between the two was inevitable. The victor would get a country. The losers would become refugees. The Jews kicked butt despite being outnumbered, not once but, twice. Hence the existence of the country Israel.

Of course they were living in peace...
... you need to substantiate your opinion, as jews/Christians/Muslims were living in HARMONY until the Zionist movement began. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P_ZiVRedU-4
"War...was inevitable. The victor would get a country. The losers would become refugess." Wrong, the loser would be "occupied" and according to the Fourth Geneva Conventions, they are supposed to be treated as such, not subjugated, starved and bombed. War crimes have been occuring BY israel for decades now (and this too will create blowback for them). Crack a history book, please.

I didn't say they weren't living in peace before
the Zionist Movement began, I said they were not living in peace before 1947. Zionism is over Israel won. They have their country and they'll always have their country. Anti-Zionists are beating a dead horse.

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — The Indiana Pacers' offense finally matched their impressive defense.
The result was their biggest win over the Dallas Mavericks in 15 years.
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — The Indiana Pacers' offense finally matched their impressive defense.
The result was their biggest win over the Dallas Mavericks in 15 years.
David West and George Hill each scored 15 points to help the Pacers beat the Mavericks 103-83 on Friday night. It was the largest margin of victory for the Pacers in the series since a 104-80 win on March 26, 1997.
West and Hill, the Pacers' top two scorers, had combined for 5-for-19 shooting and 10 points in Wednesday's loss to Milwaukee. On Friday, the Pacers shot 47 percent from the field in their first blowout win of the season. They had gone six games without scoring at least 100 points.
Hill said much of their success against Dallas came from subtle changes by coach Frank Vogel.
"Coach challenged us that we needed to change immediately," Hill said. "He came in with different types of offensive sets that kind of helps us as athletes, who we are on this team, young and athletic. It kind of helped us and challenged us to make plays for others and not just ourselves. I like the direction that we're going."
Vogel said there was a lot to dislike about the way the offense had been performing.
"I didn't like being 30th (last) in scoring and 30th in field goal offense," Vogel said. "I didn't like guys standing around. I didn't like the speed in which we were running our offense. I didn't like the lack of physicality in our screening. There was a lot to not like. So changes were needed."
Those changes resulted in Indiana's second-best offensive output of the season. Roy Hibbert and Sam Young scored 14 points apiece for the Pacers, who had lost two straight before beating the Mavericks and their former coach, Rick Carlisle.
Vogel said the Pacers needed a win to keep a positive outlook. Indiana (4-6) improved to 3-1 at home.
"We talked about re-establishing a belief in ourselves as a basketball team, belief in ourselves individually that we're capable to do great things and continuing to believe in our teammates that are struggling," Vogel said. "It's an important element in getting yourself out of a rut and getting a team out of a rut it to continue to trust that we have good players on this team that when the ball's moving and we're sharing it that we're going to be pretty good."
O.J. Mayo led the Mavericks (5-5) with 19 points. Vince Carter and former Pacer Darren Collison both dropped in 10 points for Dallas.
Dallas led 49-48 at halftime even though Indiana shot 54 percent. The Pacers made just 6 of 14 free throws in the first half and were outrebounded 22-15.

Junior Castro Valley, Calif. Soccer
Fresno State soccer junior Morgan Castain has been named the Sysco Student-Athlete of the Week.
Castain led the Bulldogs in a 2-0 road victory over Wyoming by scoring both goals for the 'Dogs in the only game this weekend. It was Fresno State's first Mountain West road win. In 37 minutes of action, Castain netted a goal in each half on two shots for a 100% shooting percentage. The eventual game winner and Castain's first goal came from 30 yards out and the second came off of a rebound from the Wyoming goalkeeper in the second half. Castain's two goals are tied for the most in a single game by a player in the Mountain West. She moved her total for the season to four goals which ties her eighth in the conference.

Recently I found some written instructions I had prepared several years ago to help my parents program their VCR. It took me three pages to write out the steps to record a program. Where applicable each step included a hand drawn representation of the button the VCR (and/or the remote) to ensure clarity and understanding.
The first page explained how to bring up the menu to record a program in the future. The second provided further details and discussed potential troubleshooting strategies. The third included the final steps and introduced the steps for recording a program currently being viewed. Even with these detailed instructions mistakes were made and recordings were missed. We will never know if the error was occurred in the programming stage or if show never actually aired.
I believe I also wrote out similar instructions for my grandmother. As she was even less inclined to adapt she opted to use her own technique. My grandmother would start recording a program hours in advance of its airing before leaving her home by putting the television on the desired channel and pressing the record button on the VCR. It may have required hours of rewinding but it worked for her. Since this time technology has evolved and we now "one touch" programming through the use of on-screen guides that list program dates and times. However, I'm pretty sure if my grandmother were alive today she would use her old system – start recording on the PVR when she went out rather than using the on-screen guide.
In 1988 Donald Norman wrote about this issue in "The Psychology of Everyday Design". He made reference to digital watches and microwave ovens as well as VCRs as examples of devices that were difficult to operate. Yet they were supposed to be for an average person to use on a daily basis. Why were they so difficult to use? One theory suggests that the skill set required to design such devices doesn't necessarily translate in a way that is evident to someone who does not have a similar background or training. What is apparent to one is not necessarily so to others. A lack of applying design principles (human-computer interaction) or examining how the device works in real use (e.g. usability testing) were provided as possible reasons. One resolution was to utilize technical writers, those skilled in interpreting complex electronic interfaces using plain language written material Some things are made to be obvious or intuitive – you use the sharp edge of the knife to cut. Others have developed over time with common usage – it is universally understood that turning the knob is a necessary step in opening a door.
Human behaviour is like running water. It always finds the path of least resistance. But can we 'afford' this type of affordance in health care?
In a previous post I presented an analysis of the tweets from the Health Care Social Media Canada (#hcsmca) Twitter community. By using a network analysis tool (NodeXL) I was able to determine that two Twitter identities (@infoway and @jasonboies) were participating but perhaps not in a connected way. When community members are "off to the side" it may be an indication of lurking behaviour (reading messages but not posting). However, since tweets were present from these Twitter accounts this label may not be applicable. A similar concept, labeled "legitimate peripheral participation" (described more thoroughly here) in which novices engage in a community of learners in limited fashion may be a more accurate descriptor of the phenomenon captured in the data set. In order to understand the findings from this network analysis a more thoroughly examination of the tweets containing referenced to the two outliers was required. To facilitate this process I used a tool called ITCA (Internet Community Text Analyzer) developed by Dr.Anatoliy Gruzd at Dalhousie University.
Using the Excel spreadsheet created by NodeXL from the network analysis I exported it into .cvs format, which was then imported into the ITCA tool. The dates of the tweets included Thursday November 24th, Friday November 25th and Saturday November 26th. There were 953 unique messages and 243 posters in this sample. The top ten posters (Image 1) is essentially in alignment with the network analysis, which was ordered by eigenvector centrality. In other words importance is, in part, reflected by the number of tweets.
Image 1: Top Ten Posters in #hcsmca Twitter community
The 'local concepts' (characters, words, terms and concepts) were extracted by looking for patterns frequently used in the data set. The ITCA tool revealed that there were 9812 unique terms. Image 2 shows the thirty most frequent terms and the number of times the term appear in the data set. The tag cloud formation shown in Image 2 also provides a visual representation of frequency (the larger the word the more times it appears). An individual term can be removed by clicking on the red X or explored further by clicking on its hypertext link, which reveals all instances by which has been tweeted.
Image 2: Top 30 Results of Local Concept Extractor (click to enlarge)
Using this tool I was able to search for the tweets associated with @Infoway. The results indicated that the two tweets were related to an upcoming HL7 (health level seven, a concept related to standardization in health information technology) certification. A hand search of the .cvs file indicated that one tweet on Friday November 25th, 2011 was directly from @infoway. The other was a re-tweet of this tweet by @alexanderberler on the same day. The second tweet was also recorded because @mentions were included in the data set obtained using NodeXL. Image 3 shows the @alexanderberler RT.
Image 3: @alexanderberler Re-tweet of @infoway tweet (click to enlarge)
A search of jasonboies revealed twelve tweets. Image 4 shows the total number of times in which tweets contained this Twitter identity in this data set.
Image 4: Incidents of jasonboies
Tweets with jasonboies appear to have taken place from Friday November 25th (four in early evening UTC) to Saturday November 26th (eight in late evening UTC). This time frame is outside the weekly hcsmca tweet chat, which took place in the evening on Thursday November 24th (the weekly tweet chat is held every Wednesday at 1:00 pm EST except for the last week of the month in which it is held on Thursday evenings).
Based on this preliminary analysis it would appear as though connecting with other members of the hcsmca community is a phenomenon beyond just using the hashtag in your tweet. These findings may indicate that being engaged means participating with others in the real time chat.
Perhaps more importantly this analysis demonstrates the need to examine not only the pattern of tweets as yielded using network analysis tools but also to examine the content. In addition, these findings should be interpreted with the aid of survey data and interview findings obtained directly from members of hcsmca community. For example, a survey could determine which participants are tweeting as part of their work, which may affect which time of the day they use Twitter. Interviews would provide even richer detail allowing us to understand what exactly prompts someone to both tweet and re-tweet material in the hcsmca community.

In the ethnography, "Situated Learning" (Lave & Wenger, 1991) it was observed that learning a trade or profession such as a tailor or midwifery was best supported by engaging in this activity within the actual community in which it was taking place. In this context the learner, as an apprentice, can be exposed to others with varied skill levels within that particular job or trade from which they can learn. Initially they may engage in some limited tasks such as maintaining inventories of equipment or tools and ordering supplies. Over time and with more exposure to the task their role will evolve and increase in responsibility. For this to take place they must learn from others with more experience. Some members of this particular community may have expert status whereas others may be at more of an intermediary level. At the beginning those new to the community participate only on a peripheral level. As novices they have yet to learn the terms, concepts and practices that would allow them to engage in the profession in a meaningful way. For example, someone new to programming may subscribe to a mailing list or follow a newsgroup that discusses the computer language they want to learn. These groups are often composed of individuals with varying levels (novices, intermediaries, experts) of skill level forming what has been termed "communities of practice". This legitimate peripheral participation or "lurking" is an acceptable and supported behaviour amongst many well established online communities. After reading the messages for a period of time novices may feel more comfortable and post questions of their own. This may lead to some form of debate amongst other participants in which new knowledge is co-created. Novices may contribute in other ways by sharing information related to issues they have already encountered. For example, the novice programmer may have been advised before participating in the message forum that using an integrated development environment (IDE) will aid their learning of how to program. Over time the community shares their experiences and members of all levels engage and learn from and with each other. This phenomena has been documented amongst mailing lists and newsgroups.
But what about the newer forms of social media such as Twitter?
Founded by social media expert and plain language writer Colleen Young (@colleen_young) the Health Care Social Media in Canada (hcsmca) Twitter-based community was designed as a means by which Canadians with an interest in social media within a health care context could exchange information. By posting tweets using the acronym, "hcsmca" those wanting to share and learn more about this topic area can follow the posts. Each week the community meets for a live tweet-up in which messages are exchanged in real time providing for a more conversational tone to the exchange. I have participated in this community almost since its inception. Over this time I have wondered about the types of connections that were being formed, what information is being shared and learned and how effective Twitter is as forms of information dissemination in this context.
To explore this further I examined the network relationships in the hcsmca community with NodeXL (http://nodexl.codeplex.com/). Using the import tool I limited the results to 100 people for this initial exploration. I requested edges (or connections) for each of these Twitter scenarios: "follows" relationship (an individual and their followers), "replies-to relationship in tweet" (a reply to an individual tweet), "mentions relationship in tweet" (a tweet that mentions a user) and a "tweet that is not a reply-to or mention" (a posted message or tweet). NodeXL calculates a variety of statistics related to network analysis. By using filters you can refine the resulting graph in form that provides meaning.
Image I provides one static representation of a many possible layouts of the results. The NodeXL tool allows for more dynamic views (e.g. colour coded relationships between users such as "follows", "replies-to relationship in tweet" and depictions of the other metrics mentioned above). It also provides for the ability to re-position the location of each user. Image I (below) demonstrates one instance of these options.
Image I: Network analysis of #hcsmca community – November 26th, 2011
To better view the relationships I limited the out degree (people with the most connections) to seven. I then arranged the display from left to right by eigenvector centrality (a measure of importance in the network). Community leader Colleen Young, who often moderates the weekly tweet chats is positioned at the far left as she has the highest eigenvector centrality in this group. @DoctorFullerton is next, @nursefriendly and @ehealthmusings follow and so on. What may be of most interest are the two outliers positioned on the far right: @infoway and @jasonboies. They were represented in the graph because they had an out degree value greater than seven. However, I am curious as to why they had no connections to the remaining members in this particular snapshot of the #hcsmca community tweets. Does this indicate some form of lurking? How can this behaviour be explained?
In order to understand this further a content analysis of the tweets will be conducted. In the next installment I will explore the contents of these tweets using Netlytic (http://netlytic.org/), an Internet Community Text Analyzer.

Accidents happen. Often when we are tired, overwhelmed with too much information and too much to do we make mistakes. Many of us work long hours, interacting with complex machinery and in noisy environments. Few of us, however, are required to work 36 or more hours in a row, with little or no sleep. Physicians do this on a regular basis and patient safety is at risk as a result.
Why does this happen? Many years ago I asked a senior staff physician who worked in a large metropolitan hospital this question. He told me there were three reasons: (1). A physician needs to learn how to make decisions no matter how they feel physically (2). We are short-staffed and (3). It was done to us before therefore it will also be done to those who come after us. I've since heard another reason: the more hours you work the more opportunity you have to learn new things. I don't know how effective this latter strategy is for physicians-in-training. Or whether it is used as a fear tactic. For example, someone might be told: "if you don't treat enough cases of X you will not have enough knowledge to pass the board exam in your specialty".
This clip (1:23 minutes) from the television show "ER" in which Dr. Elizabeth Corday explains at a weekly M&M (Morbidity and Mortality) meeting reasons why and ways in which the system could be changed.
Her concluding marks are quite poignant. I don't think the situation is much different now then it was when this show aired in 1998. Or when I asked a physician ten years previous to that. But I do think her point is valid. Who would want to fly in a plane in which an air traffic controller co-coordinating its take-off and landing had worked 36 hours in a row without sleep?
But I think the real question is whether you would want to fly in plane with a pilot who had worked 36 hours without sleep. However that would never happen. Pilots (and the airline industry) know that if they had people flying jets for many hours in a row they would likely make a mistake. The plane could crash and many lives would be lost. Including the pilot. Not quite the same scenario for a physician. Maybe the rules regarding work hours would change if their lives and not just those of the patient were also in danger. For this to be achieved we need more collaboration between everyone involved in providing care.
A couple of great posts from other bloggers on the peer review process, journal publishing and the open access movement:
I'm excited that others are sharing their thoughts on this issue. I've written about this before (see "Access to peer reviewed journals" ). Petermr's piece specifically advocates for patients (among other groups) to have access to this information and uses the Human Rights code as a foundation to make the argument. Brilliant work!
It should be noted that JMIR has adopted two unique methods for open access publishing. The fast track fee provides the option of paying a fee for a three week turnaround. I believe the money is used to compensate the reviewers for their time. There is also an Open Peer Review Articles process, which allows JMIR users to review articles who have yet to undergo peer review. Abstracts for these articles are posted at the site so please take a look if you are interested in engaging in this process.
Update: Monday October 3rd, 2011
I recently found out about a repository, arXiv that has been used for pre-publication papers in the sciences since 1991. It was started in physics and later expanded to include other fields such as computer science, mathematics and astronomy. Although the papers posted are not peer reviewed moderators do review the submissions to ensure they are relevant topic-wise. We should consider this unique model to disseminate information when considering changes to the current system.
Deb Matthews, Minister of Health and Long–Term Care Webchat Transcript: Ontario Liberal Party plan for health care
Tuesday September 20, 2011 8:00 pm
Note: This transcript is also available on Facebook. Each comment or question is followed by a time stamp indicating when it was posted. Inclusion of this transcript is for informational purposes only. No endorsement intended.
Ontario Liberal Party: Hello everyone and thank you for joining us tonight on Facebook. Tonight we're joined by Deb Matthews, Minister of Health and Long–Term Care, to talk about the Ontario Liberal plan to keep building the healthiest province to grow up in and grow old in. 8:01
Deb Matthews: Welcome to tonight's webchat! So glad you could all join us. Please start submitting your questions – we'll try to get to as many as possible tonight but it probably won't be possible to get them all. Looking forward to the conversation! 8:02
Comment From Guest: Good evening Ms. Matthews, thank you for providing a forum to ask questions and open discussions for all Ontarians. 8:02
Comment From Philip: Can you confirm that, if re-elected, the Liberals will continue to support the First Link program and roll it out across the province? 8:03
Deb Matthews: Thanks for the First Link question. I can tell you that we enthusiastically support First Link! It's making a real difference for people with Alzheimer's and their families — and will continue to do so! 8:04
Comment From Jacquie Micallef: Good Evening – The 8-week unpaid caregiver leave is a step in the right direction, however we (Alzheimer Societies in Ontario) hear from caregivers that flexible respite is critical to their health and wellbeing. If re-elected, how will Liberals give caregivers the break from caregiving that they need? 8:05
Deb Matthews: The 8-week job guarantee for caregivers is an important part of our strategy to keep people home, where they want to be, as long as possible. i'm glad you support it, and i look forward to working with you to find other ways to support caregivers.8:06
Deb Matthews: As you know, tomorrow is World Alzheimer's Day. I want to take this opportunity to say "thank you" to everyone committed to improving the lives of people with Alzheimer's Disease. 8:07
Comment From Natrice Rese: Thank you for this chance to ask questions, can you elaborate more on the coming PSW Registry and how it will protect our elderly and vulnerable please, as their protection is paramount. 8:07
Comment From OntarioPSWAssoc: We would like to know what you plan on doing about the PSW issue in this province? 8:07
Comment From OntarioPSWAssoc: Minister Matthews; Societies most vulnerable are dependent upon PSWs everyday. How do you plan to standardize the PSW profession? 8:08
Deb Matthews: I'm very excited about the PSW registry, and I know PSWs are too! I'm also excited that we're committed to 3 Million more hours of PSW homecare – three times the number of hours the NDP is committed to! 8:10
Comment From Paula Schuck: How will the McGuinty government meet the needs of the coming demographic shift. The sheer number of seniors that will be diagnosed with dementia and alzheimers as well as other health issues in the coming decades is staggering. What are we doing to meet this co 8:10
Comment From Paula Schuck: Families like ours have been sitting on a waitlist for special services at home for three years. What will be dine to clear up the wait-list?. No respite money right now for far too many struggling families. 8:11
Deb Matthews: Thanks for joining us, Paula! Embracing the demographic shift is exactly what we're doing. There are many parts to our strategy, outlined to some degree in our Party platform, but the foundation is building community supports to allow people to stay home as long as possible, instead of moving to LTC before they need to. 8:13
Comment From Jacquie Micallef: Thank you so much for the recognition of World Alzheimer Day. This chat is very timely! 8:13
Deb Matthews: Another piece is that we'll refocus a portion of our province's research investments to support the prevention, treatment and possible cure of conditions such as Alzheimer's and related dementias. 8:14
Comment From Patricia: I keep hearing about what the Conservatives will cut — and I am growing tired of this talk. Instead, I want to hear what you and the Liberals will build. 8:15
Deb Matthews: Our plan is to strengthen local decision making through the LHINs. We have seen great examples of how communities are working together to get better results for patients and better value for health care dollars. 8:16
Deb Matthews: No matter how good the bureaucrats in Toronto are, they'll just never be able to pull communities together the way local decision-makers are. People in Thunder Bay will make better decisions about health care in Thunder Bay than people in Toronto can! 8:17
Comment From Guest: What is the Liberal plan for Local Health Integration Networks, as compared to the Conservative plan to eliminate them, to reduce administrative health care costs and increase funds for direct care? 8:17
Comment From Patricia: LHINs? I'm not familiar with that. 8:18
Ontario Liberal Party: "Local Health Integration Networks": http://www.health.gov.on.ca/transformation/lhin/lhin_mn.html 8:19
Deb Matthews: Patricia, I urge you to take a look at our platform. We set out a challenge to make Ontario the healthiest place in North America to grow up and grow old. Part of that is a goal to reduce child obesity by 20% in 5 years, and to develop an Active Aging Strategy. It's time to focus on wellness!! 8:20
Ontario Liberal Party: The Ontario Liberal plan: http://www.ontarioliberal.ca/OurPlan/Platform.aspx 8:20
Comment From Ritika Goel: Hello Ms. Matthews. I'm representing an organization of young health providers concerned with the state of publicly-funded healthcare in Canada called Students for Medicare. We are interested in hearing how the Liberal party would put a stop to and prevent the further emergence of for-profit facilities in Ontario. 8:21
Comment From StudentsforMedicare: Hello Ms. Mathews, Our organization is interested in knowing how the Liberal party will do to prevent and curb the proliferation of private, for-profit clinics in Ontario to uphold the Canada Health Act. 8:21
Comment From Dan Raza: A few months ago, the government passed a law prohibiting extra, out-of-pocket billing as a measure to prevent creeping privatization. On behalf of physicians that want to continue to practice in a pro-medicare system, thank you! What plans to do you have to enforce it? 8:23
Deb Matthews: Protecting universal health care in Ontario is a sacred trust, as far as I'm concerned. We've passed The Commitment to the Future of Medicare Act, and we're enforcing it. Last year, we collected over $600,000 for patients who had paid illegal fees. Sad to say, both the NDP and PCs voted against the CFMA 8:24
Deb Matthews: Thanks Dan, Ritika and The Students for Medicare, for standing up for universal health care! 8:25
Ontario Liberal Party: Thank you everyone for your questions. We are trying to get to as many of them as possible before 9:00. 8:27
Comment From Guest: Tim Hudak has promised to shut down eHealth Ontario. What are your plans for eHealth Ontario? 8:28
Deb Matthews: Anyone who works in health care knows that we need to continue to transform it unless we want to move to two-tier health care, which Ontario Libs certainly don't!! A vital part of that transformation is moving forward with eHealth. We've now got about half of Ontarians with EHRs – shutting down eHealth would be just dumb! 8:29
Ontario Liberal Party: "EHRs": electronic health records 8:31
Comment From Laura O'Grady: Then why do we rely on population-based research for decision making? (i.e. one study in Windsor, for example, informs the policy around screening for the whole province because it is considered "evidence-based") 8:32
Deb Matthews: Sustainability of universal health care requires reliance on evidence. The Excellent Care for All Act reinforces that principle. Of course, there will always be debates about how strong that evidence is, so we need to keep investing in better research. 8:33
Deb Matthews: I urge you all to participate in the Ontario Health Study! It will give us extraordinary data!!8:33
Ontario Liberal Party: https://ontariohealthstudy.ca 8:34
Comment From Don Seymour: Deb, can you talk about how your will improve services for persons with mental illness? 8:35
Deb Matthews: Thanks for joining us, Don! Our Mental Health and Addictions Strategy is already being implemented. It's a 10 year strategy, starts with kids, and backed up by a $257M commitment in our last budget. 8:36
Deb Matthews: I was very disappointed that neither the PCs nor the NDP even mention mental health in their platforms. For us, it's a high priority. 8:37
Comment From Natrice Rese: Can you tell us more about in home dr. visits? Many elderly and infirm, special needs in our population do not get seen by professionals when they have crisis 8:39
Deb Matthews: Bringing back House Calls is part of our strategy to help people stay home longer. It's proving to be very popular with seniors and the families that support them. It's more than just doctors, it will include nurses, OTs and other health care professionals. Also telemedicine and on-line support! 8:41
Deb Matthews: The Libs are the only party that is facing the demographic challenge seriously. Our health care system wasn't designed for the demographic reality of tomorrow — we need to fix that! 8:43
Comment From Nicole: What about support for Community Health Centres? They service vulnerable and marginalized populations and provide great interdisciplinary service for the community….and are often undersupported in funding. 8:44
Deb Matthews: We are thrilled to have supported the greatest expansion of CHCs ever! We're in the middle of doubling sites from 53 to 101. Delighted with the announcement of new CHCs just a few weeks ago! Also, increased funding for CHCs by 108% — that's $152M! 8:45
Comment From Nicole: That's fantastic news! 8:48
Comment From J: Will you support OHIP to fund IVF procedures?8:49
Comment From Josee L: 1 in six couples suffer with infertility. My husband and I being included in that statistic. If elected, will you support IVF funding for Ontario families struggling with infertility?8:50
Comment From J: We also suffer from infertility. 8:50
Deb Matthews: I know how important it is that we support Ontarians as they build their families. That's why we established the Expert Panel on Adoption and Infertility. We're moving on their recommendation re: educating both public and providers. And we're watching the Quebec experience very carefully and doing the research in Ontario to be better able to make the decision here. At this time, we're not moving with OHIP funding of IVF, but we're not closing the door, either. 8:53
Comment From Zach: What role does preventative care play in the Liberal health care plan? 8:55
Deb Matthews: Now that we've come such a long way in rebuilding our health care system – cut wait times in half, got 94% of Ontarians with primary care, and rebuilding infrastructure – it's possible to focus on prevention. We know that 1/4 of our health care spending is spent on preventable illness. So making Ontario the healthiest place in North America is our next goal!!8:59
Comment From Laura O'Grady: The system was designed for acute care. Now we have chronic complex disease. This should be part of focus for change. 9:00
Deb Matthews: You are so right! People with chronic, complex needs deserve special care.That's why we'll provide a Health Care Coordinator to facilitate care between specialists and family doctors, hospitals, and the community to assist seniors who've been hospitalized within the previous 12 months. 9:02
Deb Matthews: Thank you so much for all your questions and comments! I wish we had more time to get through everything. Please make health care an issue in this election and ask your local candidates to support better health care for all! Hope you'll all vote Liberal so we can do this again!! 9:03
Ontario Liberal Party: Thank you for joining us Deb.
If you don't yet, make sure you follow her on twitter: @Deb_Matthews
We hope we'll see you on Facebook again for our next webchat. Stay tuned for details in the next coming days.

Ya Gotta Have 'Team' Plenty of rah rah stuff going on these days. As this column goes together, early-December is upon us. Lots of college football fans are getting excited about bowl games, even in San Diego. Unfortunately, our pro team out here seems to have run out of energy – might have gotten itself dis-Charged. Those boys aren't going anywhere in the playoffs, so we will content ourselves with watching your teams do what ours was supposed to do. Teams can be so disappointing. But teamwork, itself? That's another matter altogether. Where is your team going in the new 'season' of 2012? Who's on your team? Are you even on a team? Well, take a lesson from the geese, and see if a team might be in your future.
Your team
As you begin to set goals for 2012, among them might be for you to become more involved in your local associations and chapters. Everyone has heard the saying, "The squeaky wheel gets the grease." Well, in these times, you need to do more than just squeak. Maybe you need to yell. Possibly make some phone calls. Write some letters.
I'd like to give you a success story from here in California, but, unfortunately, we have the poster child of all stupid public works projects: the Bullet Train, also known as a high speed rail. We actually voted (on purpose!) for this. Shame on us. But, after just a couple of years' planning, we now expect project costs to triple (we are now pushing $100 billion) and construction time to double (20 years?). Oh, the best part: The train goes from the town of Nowhere and runs all the way to the village of Obscurity. And, ridership and revenue projections will never be met, meaning that the darn thing will have to be subsidized – forever. Kinda like Amtrak, but, I digress. Seems to me that, in a state that has no money – and no immediate prospects of any – $100 billion might be better spent on deteriorating highways, hospitals and schools. Those kinds of projects could begin reasonably soon. And, hey, we can build those!
Are you really planning on "flying" through 2012 all on your own? Doesn't it make more sense to travel in a formation, be a part of a group that might give you a 71% longer range? Statistically, flying solo increases your chances of failure. I love what Coach Dean Smith said to Michael Jordan in his freshman year at UNC: "Michael, if you can't pass, you can't play." Face it: In 2012, just as it's always been, teamwork still is critical. You need to be a team player, if you want to continue playing competitively in your industry. You can't score all by yourself against all of your competition. Besides, your teammates give you additional "lift," and who doesn't need that these days? Synergy. Pass the ball, Michael!

Gawd, I hope they don't get thrown out of the library…
Lookin' good there, Gunth!
Gunther, pull an old Luann trick. Keep Rosa talking until the library closes, then disconnect the phone. You'll have a minimum of 2 hours locked away with her.
And thus starts rather awkward spying that will no doubt backfire on the budding relationship
Today's strip was the first and last items I posted a short time ago at the bottom of yesterday's comments about what this weeks arc would be about. Of course since they are the same subjects on a merry go round that repeat over and over, it would have been almost impossible to be wrong.
That is the darkest Library that I've ever seen!
I'm all for saving energy but… maybe that isn't the best idea in a place people come to read in.
ps. Naughty, naughty, Luann!!! -
Don't forget to let Quill see them too!
"That is the darkest Library that I've ever seen!

Maybe they did not come there to read…;-)
Awwwwww…Love in Bloom!
The Gunth man's gettin' his mack on. Rock on, bro! Way to come through for nerds everywhere.
Look at those two! They're actually CONNECTING!
Lu's not jealous, she's excited for them……….of course, that could change suddenly if ol' Oz boy cools off. -
As long as they don't start making out in front of Ross' physics thesis.
Good Lord, are we back to this dry storyline?
Luann is at her most expressive in some time in panel 2! Snooping in panel 3, she, and we, see Gunther showing signs of overcoming his shyness under Rosa's careful tutelage.
It must be difficult to be Leviticus – having to appear smugly self-satisfied for having allegedly predicted a story arc while, at the same time, acting irritated and disappointed for having allegedly predicted a story arc.

Free Entry - Entry Information
In church grounds at Pimpama, halfway between Brisbane and the Gold Coast, stands a stone memorial-a soldier statue, his head bowed, hands crossed and resting on his rifle, a tree trunk supporting him. It is, in fact, a replica of the original which was unveiled in 1919 following a public subscription.
... moreThe original stood in the cemetery of Pimpama Uniting (previously Methodist) Church, a tribute to the seven local men who had died in WWI. It was produced by AL Petrie and Son of Toowong, the largest masonry firm in Queensland at the time; responsible for many WWI memorials.
A series of relocations within the property have occurred, the most recent in 1993, when the replica was commissioned. This facsimile, positioned facing the Pacific Highway, was unveiled on ANZAC Day 1995.
The old digger, which was in poor condition, was relocated to Miles Historical Village.

Soulfly's Max Cavalera on Siberia, Jeffrey Dahmer, Bad Hygiene, and Sepultura
Groove-metallers Soulfly, led by Cavalera Conspiracy and former Sepultura frontman Max Cavalera, are currently on a North American tour, supporting their seventh full-length, Omen (Roadrunner). The fact that they started the tour immediately after a grueling trek through some of Europe's coldest locales doesn't even faze the singer. "We're looking forward to being back in America, playing," he says. "I haven't played here in a while." It's this sort of positive outlook and steadfast determination that helped him break out of his native Brazil to become an international metal legend. Here, he fills us in on his past, present, and future.

Special Infant Formula May Protect Babies from Type 1 Diabetes
If you have a new infant in your family and a family history of type 1 diabetes, feeding your baby a special formula when weaning off breastfeeding may protect against the development of the antibodies associated with type 1 diabetes, thus potentially shielding your child from developing the disease itself. This is the finding of a new study, conducted by Finnish researchers, that was published in the November 11 issue of the New England Journal of Medicine.
The researchers randomly assigned 230 babies at high risk of type 1 diabetes to receive either a regular infant formula or one that was extensively hydrolyzed -- meaning that the proteins in the formula are already partially broken down and more readily available for digestion. They found that the extensively hydrolyzed formula cut the rate of developing diabetes-linked antibodies in the blood almost in half. Five immune system auto-antibodies have been linked to type 1 diabetes. Having one of these antibodies indicates an increased risk for the disease, while having two or more means between a 50 and a 100 percent risk of developing type 1 diabetes.
"We observed that early dietary intervention [with extensively hydrolyzed formula] decreased the frequency of diabetes-associated auto-antibodies, which are markers of an ongoing disease process, by about 50 percent by the age of 10 years," said the study's lead author, Dr. Michael Knip, a professor of pediatrics at the Hospital for Children and Adolescents in Helsinki, Finland.
The study built upon previous research suggesting that breastfeeding may offer protection against type 1 because it delays the introduction of formula. Formula is made of complex proteins that may trigger the development of auto-antibodies as the proteins are broken down for digestion.
The current randomized, double-blind study compared regular baby formula to one that was extensively hydrolyzed. Babies were offered the formula during the ages of six to eight months old whenever breastfeeding wasn't available. They were then followed until they were about 10 years old. After adjusting the data to try to account for the duration of exposure to one of the study formulas, the researchers found that the extensively hydrolyzed formula reduced the risk of having one diabetes auto-antibody by 49 percent and the risk of having two or more auto-antibodies by 53 percent. Researchers speculate that the extensively hydrolyzed formulas may reduce gut permeability or changes in gut microflora, among other things.
According to Knip, "It is possible to reduce considerably the initiation of the diabetes disease process in at-risk children in a simple and safe way: weaning to an extensively hydrolyzed formula." He added that "based on the current results, we think that it is justified to recommend weaning to a highly hydrolyzed formula for babies in families with a member affected by type 1 diabetes."

Clearly, Leinonen has put plenty of thought into this artful fare. But has he thought about how it comes together as a meal? Horseradish is listed as a component in four dishes. One night, horseradish overwhelmed not just the silky white-bean purée it was in, but everything else — crumb-topped whitefish, Hollandaise and tomato-cucumber salad — on my plate, although the pungent root minded its manners in the bed of fingerlings underneath my friend's New York strip. And another night, it played nicely with the Dijon underneath fried Havarti in the "Ham & Cheese" appetizer. But who wants to spend more than $100 on a meal and have to contend with such an assertive flavor at every turn?
Horseradish isn't the only unwelcome diva at Trillium. A savory butternut-squash pudding is exquisite, or at least it would be without the bacon vinaigrette drowning out the rightful star. Spiced cranberry semifreddo suffers a similar fate, with a fantastic holiday flavor you can hardly taste, hijacked as it is by chopped pecans.
While the kitchen seems to be trying to impress, the service does not; it swings from superb to nearly nonexistent. One night, no fewer than three large groups were squeezed into the dining room, overpowering nearby two-tops and requiring the server to wiggle around their chairs and smaller tables to avoid a collision. Meanwhile, the other side of the restaurant sat empty. I have waited thirty minutes after ordering for the chewy, herb-topped rolls that come with every meal, and on numerous occasions have had to ask the server to speed things up so that my two-hour meter wouldn't expire.
Leinonen and his staff have invested loads of heart in Trillium, named for a rare blue wildflower that he says only blooms when conditions are right. In restaurant terms, those conditions are superb food, fun decor and gracious service, and Trillium has the potential to meet all of them. But until Leinonen sees the establishment from a diner's perspective and recognizes the places where the experience can fall short, that prized, four-star flower might not bloom as often as hoped.
Nicely written Gretchen. Your review gives essential background info on the chef and the restaurant, but focuses primarily on what escaped many of your predecessors, the food. Thanks for avoiding a meandering narrative of how and why you found yourself at Trillium, and then giving us a clear and concise editorial on the food and atmosphere. I will try it myself based on your review. Cheers.
I love Trillium as well, but I think you nailed down exactly what few gripes I have about the place. It has never made sense to me to leave the bar area for the reasons you state. I dunno if they still have the truffled tater tots and Hollandaise sauce on the menu, but I'd be ass-pained if those went away.
I love Trillium and have frequented it since it opened. I have to say that Gretchen has spotted the major flaws. The price point is a bit difficult to manage unless you're eating snacks at the bar, and service has gotten stuffy. There's been some turnover in staff since the restaurant opened, and the restaurant has lost some of the warm, welcoming atmosphere that made it such a great place in the first half of the year. I certainly hope Ryan reads the review and takes to heart the critiques it contains--improve on these minor points, and Trillium will continue to earn the accolades it's gotten so far. Ignore these points, and he might lose more customers to the atrocity next door (Ignite!).
The food sounds too fancy and convoluted to me, so I guess I won't be going there.
Yeah... I got food poisoning from oysters there. They definitely need to pay more attention to their raw seafood.
"hijacked as it is by chopped pecans" - "Hijacked" - love that word in this use - I think it will be my word for the week!

How does one remove the gas tank on this IDC 500 Supreme string trimmer. Any ideas would be much appreciated. This unit is now called Ryobi. Model is IDC 500-2. |
Follow-Up Postings:
If it is like most i have seen, you have to remove the back plate that covers the part where the connecting rod goes around the crankshaft. A bunch of screws to remove, and it pulls off, and the fuel tank will practically fall off. Of course, there are other ways it is held on, but this is the most i have seen. |

G-Storm Announces Album Release Illuminated Displays
G-Storm Electro announces release an album project Illuminated Displays available at gstorm.bandcamp.com for $10. "It has been 5 years in the making. Perhaps every detail has been over-obsessed. My passion was to make an electronic album that was absolutely unforgettable, multi-layered, and at its core something thought provoking. It is a re-imagining, re-interpretation, a new spin on what electronic music from past eras could have been. I have employed some unconventional methods including re-synthesis and authoring my own plugins. And I have programmed every sample, synth patch, and beats expressly tailored for each track. Hope you enjoy the result as much as I do." -g
