705 Tasting Notes
Had some of this one again today with the beau while enjoying a work day off together. It is beautifully sunny out though still chilly. We've got the fire going, video games, books, tea and time to ourselves. Woohoo! On a side note, I feel like I SHOULD put something about the tea at the start on the off chance this is selected as a blurb but that's not how I roll so I'll keep on talking about myself at the start for now.
I guess this tea has been around a time or two but when the beau went to Davids this Spring to pick up some Blue Lagoon to try out he was tempted by this as well. Now that I've had it a couple times I can say it is too too sweet for my tastes but that is a personal issue. It is actually a good tea, with a nice black base that doesn't get bitter but also isn't totally swamped by the flavouring. The flavour itself comes off as peachy to me, maybe because I've never eaten a pomegranate and can't be sure what it tastes like. It would be good iced if I were the sort to drink iced tea. I could probably serve it to my little cousins as iced tea and they would be over the moon because it's one of those teas that seems more like juice than tea. Not my thing anymore, but still well done unlike others that taste of chemicals or sugar rather than sweetness. This is definitely a result of the candied fruit in here. I used to love candied pineapple but ate too much and now they all taste too sweet to me.
I got an e-mail from Davids that Eastier tins are 3 for 30 in store and we are going to the city tomorrow for record store day and to visit some friends. I see a trip to Davids included in there to scope out some tea to add to the collection. We're so glad we moved to the country but since I only order online once or twice a year, I miss being able to go to Davids or Winners and find some new tea when the mood strikes me. It's not often, but seeing all the new acquisitions on Steepster makes me a little jealous! :)
Flavors: Grapes, Peach, Stonefruits
Made this up as well as hot chocolate and apple cider for the brothers. It is a beautiful sunny day here but chilly so a hot beverage is nice. I forgot about it though and steeped it for ten minutes or more. After that, the aroma is a mix of blueberry pie filling and bubblebath. So sweet blueberry but also a bit artificial. Not unpleasant and totally expected. I love Davids blueberry jam but hate the stevia so was excited about this one. I am a bit leery of too much sweet from tbe pineapple though and willing to add some more lemon something to bring it to my liking. The beau and I love blueberry tea but it is hard to do right.
Steeped, it kinda tastes like blueberry baby food. I like it at first, then its too sweet and then I like the aftertaste. I think if I limit the pineapple per cup OR decrease them time OR add extra lemon myrtle or something this could be a good tea for me! I can see how this would be a good iced tea as my cup us cooling and if the beau gets on an iced kick I could have a bit of this but I ammore interested in it hot as that is how I drink my tea.
For now it is good but I need to alter my parameters to make it even better!
Trying this today, another shu. This is one of the first pu I tried a while ago and I remember liking it a lot, thinking of earth, leather and a bit of smoke. This aroma is subtler than the Master Han ones and really pleasant.
Did a ten second rinse then a steep at 15 seconds with boiling water. No combining today! There is no bitterness but there is some depth. Not sweet like the 04 shu and not quite the damp earth and woodiness I remember. It's a bit more bland than my last couple shu but also bolder, if that makes sense. I get something that reminds me of mushrooms here too.
#2: 20 seconds. Dark colour, warm aroma that reminds me of hay but deeper than green tea. This steep has more sweet notes and reminds me of hay bales in taste as well. Very nice and familiar.
#3: 30 seconds. Dark dark dark! Stronger aroma, flavour is a bit muted. I don't know why my steeps seem to lose strength so quickly. Maybe I'm being under-generous on my leaf. I'm always worried about bitterness so I tend to under-do it on occasion.
Cutting it off here, as usual, as the brothers want the puter back. Interestingly, of the three I've had this week I prefer the Master Han 04 the best. It didn't impress me initially but I find it more interesting to me than this and the Master Han 02. I'll have to try the 04 again soon and see if that impression holds up.
Yesterday I was hanging out with Master Han's 2004 loose shu which I enjoyed but wasn;t wowed by. Today I'm trying out the 2002 to see if I can notice differences. Might help educate me a bit about my tastes and the different flavours and aromas.
I am using the small gaiwan again with boiling water, a ten second rinse and then combined the first two steeps (both 15 seconds) in my small koi cup. The aroma reminds me of mushrooms and damp earth – it poured a sea here so I am used to the wet earth! This isn't as offensive as the initial aroma of the '04 I had yesterday. Taste-wise, this is not as sweet, it has some juiciness but isn't as bright. This is more earthy and almost has a light coffee edge, without any defined bitterness.
Steeps 3 and 4 were combined in one cup again, each given 30 seconds to steep. I prefer the convenience of combining two steeps but I think I am losing flavour this way. I might try doing two steeps at a time but separate cups so I can just drink them in order. Anyway, this has a little more depth than the first round but the flavours are muddied. I think it's because of the combo. Darn laziness. I think I'll call the tasting note quits for now and just enjoy the rest.
At first, I preferred the sweetness of the '04 puerh but this one seems to have more depth and body. I can't quite appreciate the nuances yet, but I did enjoy the tea. I definitely need to try this with each steep done individually. Tentative rating but I prefer the 04 to this for now. I have 2 ounces of this though (accidentally bought it twice) so I can try it many more times.
Two of my brothers are here this week for March Break and one has been throwing up all day so I am doing whatever I can to keep myself safe from the awful germs. I thought maybe some tea would be wise and I had the time to do gong-fu so I decided to open this one. I am not a pu-erh afficianado but I pick it up sometimes so I can try them out. I tend to prefer shu and didn't want to pick at part of a cake so here I am.
The dry leaf smells nice, very much like black tea with some sweet grassiness in the aroma. I am steeping a heaping teaspoon in my small gaiwan with boiling water. Steep times listed below.
I did a ten second rinse and then ten seconds for the first steep which smells…less appetizing. This is more like wet animals and dung than the nice earthy barn flavour I have come to appreciate. Fortunately the taste is much more pleasant. It is actually surprisingly mild. I am having trouble describing it. There is some sweetness, and something earthy. No wet animals or dung. Yay!
Steep 2 at 15 seconds is much darker, aroma is much like the first, only less unpleasant. More like earth than animals. I don't know if I am becoming accustomed to it or if the character of the tea has changed. The flavour is lighter than the aroma again, and sweeter than expected. There is some depth and richness but I have a hard time describing it. This is harder than it looks!
Steep 3 at approximately 20 seconds yields another dark cup that smells more like earth after a hard rain. I am liking this the best so far but unfortunately I had a chip between steeps and that is muting my taste buds. This is still sweet and strong, no bitterness or astringency. I do seem to be losing a bit of the flavour so I am upping the time for the next round.
Steep 4 at 30 seconds has kicked back up a bit, earthiness, fresh and sweet. I'm going to stop posting about this one now because not much is changing worth reporting and my (non-pukey) brother wants the puter back.
In general, I didn't get any bitterness or astringency which I appreciated. The aroma could be overwhelming but the flavour was often a bit lighter in a pleasant way. I am enjoying it, but don't find it remarkable. That could be my lack of experience or my personal preference but my rating is not to suggest it is a poor quality tea, it just doesn't knock my socks off. I will try again at some point with even more leaf and less steep time when I have the opportunity to enjoy many many steeps.
Wowza, I really hope the puerh helps you fend off that nastiness. I hope everyone feels better soon!
Thanks MissB!
As for the tea, I've done an additional four steeps (2 combined twice) and nothing new really happened. I get a lot of colour from the leaves but not much flavour even when steeped for a minute or more. I think I've about exhausted my options. I think more leaf and less time would be interesting.
Enjoying this one with my grandmother and husband today along with some fresh homemade donuts. The perfect accompaniment! I also got news this morning that I didn't get the library job I applied for but they DID offer me a better one so this is an exciting day. Tomorrow my brothers arrive for a March Break visit and all is well in the world. Loving the Dragon Pearls and all the good news!
I've gone through at least an ounce of this one without ever posting a tasting note, apparently. I sometimes confuse it with the yu lu yan cha simply because I bought them at the same time but now I should be able to remember the differences!
This one has large golden leaves that are fuzzy and remind me of thread, and very few (if any) broken leavesor crumbs. Steeped three minutes, I've got a rich amber liquor that smells faintly of cocoa. The taste is rich and dark without being bitter at all. It isn't as sweet as other yunnans but has that depth and cocoa that I love. A lovely tea that I am glad to have another 2 ounces of!
Trying this one again while listening to Canada Reads 2014 on CBC1. The only one I have read so far is Cockroach, but maybe they'll sell me on the other four – I hope so! I meant to read Annabel but forgot about it. Whoops! I've also got an interview tomorrow with the local library in the area I just moved to, so I am hoping I can get back into the book world after four years in an office. It's only part time but it would be a start!
This is a tea that I really didn't like on first encounter but saw a couple positive notes about it lately and wanted to try again under different circumstances. I only steeped it three minutes because last time, it turned my tummy and I blame the stevia and white chocolate oil for that. The theory is that less time will reduce those issues for me. So far, so good.
It's very unpalatable to me in look, complete with cloudy yellow liquor and disgusting green oil scum on the top and clinging to the sides of my mug, but the taste is less aggressive. The mint continues to come out too sharp and gives me a toothpaste sense (one of the few mint teas to ever do that for me) but I will be able to finish it. There is some creaminess, but I don't get the peppercorns. In general I love mint and enjoy white chocolate but as I said last time, chocolate in tea can be iffy for me. Less time seems to help with that.
I'm not going to raise the rating very much, because though it didn't turn my stomache again, it still didn't wow me. I find the oil slick and stevia particularly unpleasant in this (and other blends) so once this is gone I will be glad to cross it off the list.
Wow. This is the first time I have had to use Steepster to look up the ingredients in a tea since the big change about a month ago and I was really disappointed. While most of the issues others have mentioned haven't bothered me yet, I had an unreasonably hard time finding the vendor's information about this blend amidst all the Steepster promotional info, snippets and tasting information contributed by users. Arguably I could have gone straight to their site but since I use Steepster as my tea journal, I didn't think it would be unreasonable to look here for ingredients and brewing guidelines from the company.
Part of the beauty of the Steepster database is that the companies provide their info, and the users expand upon it in their reviews. Especially for older teas that are discontinued, re-blended or otherwise unavailable on a company website, it is great to have the info here in the archives. I appreciate that the Steepster overlords need to find a way to profit from the site, but it seems to be at the hands of the tea companies and reviewers right now which is frustrating. It would be funny if this paragraph were chosen as a snippet for this tea though…
Anyway, personal complaints aside I am excited to try this one. I had accidentally stored it with my herbals when sorting tea in our new house and had to confirm that it is in fact a black blend. I have been drinking nothing but black tea for the last month and was proud of my selection of an herbal – until I proved myself wrong. Ah well. It smells amazing, mostly of ginger and orange to me without being too pungent. It is rich with full leaf, herbs and light 'dust' from the black tea. I took a deep scoop out of the bag and ended up with a lot of herbs and little tea. It seems to be a 2:1 ratio of additions to tea in my ounce of this so I am plunging ahead. Hopefully I got a good balance of all the parts, that can be tricky with Verdant blends.
Steeped at 95 degrees for four minutes (kinda forgot a bit) this smells lightly of ginger with a bakey aspect, reminding me of Christmas gingerbread. First sips echo that taste strongly. Ginger, but sweetened by the vanilla and citrus so it doesn't burn like fresh ginger. Hot, I am loving the blending of the ingredients. My favourite spice teas echo gingerbread and this is the closest I have had one come in a long time. It reminds of 52Teas Gingerbread Chai which I loved.
The black base is very light here, and completely without bitterness. I can't say I notice the vanilla here but I do get citrus in the aftertaste. If this holds up well while it cools as well as it does hot then it will be a re-stock as soon as it's available again. I rarely do this but I think this would be interesting with a bit of rock sugar. I might try that some day. As yummy as it is, there is something a little flat about it that I would like to fill out. Steeping it a bit less time, with a bit more citrus in the scoop would probably do a lot for that!
For now, this is a yummy blend that I will have to play with a bit. Glad to have an ounce to enjoy. Now back to your regularly scheduled programming!
This tea is doing double duty – first tea in the new house and first review with the new system! I am using my phone but so far so good. The site is still super clunky on my phone but the font is actually legible now! I can't use the slider bars though and I am at constant risk of losing my note. Hmmm.
Anyway, I served this tea for the beau and our first guest in the house and everyone liked it. It is very affordable, rich in taste with a natural honeyed sweetness and some cocoa notes. It resteeps well and is never bitter. Lovely!!

On Friday, May 17, 2013, CMS announced that its Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation Center (Innovation Center) is providing an open period for additional organizations to be considered for participation in Model 1 of the Bundled Payments for Care Improvement Initiative (BPCI Model 1). Interested organizations have until July 31, 2013 to submit the Model 1 Open Period Information Intake form.
Section 3021 of the Affordable Care Act authorized CMS to implement demonstrations under Section 1115A of the Social Security Act for purposes of testing innovative payment and service delivery models that reduce spending under Medicare, Medicaid, or the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP), while at the same time preserving or enhancing quality of care. The Innovation Center is testing four episode-based payment models. For a discussion of all four models being tested by the Innovation Center, see the March 29, 2011 Health Headline entitled "CMS Announces it is Accepting Applications for a 'Bundled Payment for Care Improvement Initiative,'" here.
BPCI Model 1 focuses on the inpatient episode of care in the acute care hospital setting. Medicare will pay the hospital a discounted amount based on the payment rates established under the Inpatient Prospective Payment System (IPPS) used in the original Medicare program. Physicians will continue to be paid separately for their services under the Medicare Physician Fee Schedule. Under certain circumstances, hospitals and physicians will be permitted to share gains arising from the providers' care redesign efforts.
Participation in BPCI Model 1 began in April 2013 following submissions received in response to a Request for Application posted by the Innovation Center in August 2011. The Innovation Center is now allowing additional acute care hospitals paid under IPPS and organizations that wish to convene acute care hospitals in a facilitator convener role to submit the "Model 1 Open Period Information Intake" form until July 31, 2013. CMS will review the information submitted and screen organizations for suitability for participation in BPCI Model 1.

Rebar, concrete and not a book in sight at new central library site
Update: Central library
Location: 330 Park Blvd. (11th and J)
Cost: $184.9 million ($30 million yet to raise privately)
Description: 9 stories, including 2 for charter high school plus 2 underground parking levels; 497,652 square feet
Schedule: Construction begun, Aug. 2010; completion expected, Feb. 2013; opening, July 2013
Fun facts: 43,000 cubic yards of concrete needed (18,300 so far), equivalent of volume of 1,453 lap pools measuring 4 feet deep, 10 feet wide and 20 feet long; $5.2 million worth of steel used so far, 40% of total needed; 2 cranes, 255 and 298 feet high; 115,000 man-hours logged so far, no injuries, after 290 days.
At the corner of 11th Avenue and J Street, the new central library is rising out of the ground.
It's an Erector set at full scale -- towers of rebar steel, embedded in columns of pure white concrete and a big, 60-foot-wide, three-story-high gravity arch that will act like a rainbow welcoming future patrons seeking truth and pleasure in books, music and Internet connected computers. (Its real job is to hold up the floors above.)
"It will become a focal for downtown and San Diego," said Mayor Jerry Sanders at the first public hard-hat tour of the site Thursday.
He took no credit for the project, in the works for decades, but acknowledged donors, library lovers and construction workers sitting under a makeshift tent.
"It doesn't matter," he said later, when it was noted that he will be out of office when the building opens in 2013 and another mayor's name appears on the plaque.
For now, it's not the librarians who are the heroes, it's the steel workers, concrete pourers and dozens of construction trades who make up the 150-person workforce, expected to max out at 250.
One person at the event -- Ron Dorr -- was singled out by Turner Construction general superintendent John Scheuer. Dorr oversees the installing of reinforcing steel bars, thin strands of rebar buried inside concrete poured into forms that make up columns holding up the nine-story building.
"He's just incredible," Scheuer said, handing Dorr a #18 piece of chrome plated rebar as a souvenir.
Scheuer also noted that after 290 days of construction, the project is on budget, on time and 100 percent safe with no serious injuries to date.
Leading one of the walkabouts on the ground floor, the first to be completed after completion of the two floors of underground parking, was Joe Ciaccio. He's a structural engineer superintendent who described the great care going into a building that should meet San Diego's central library needs for the next 50 years or more. (The existing Central Library, opened at Eighth Avenue and E Street in June 1954, will be 59 when its successor opens.)
To one side of the job site is a pavilion-like mockup of the building where engineers and designers tested out the font for the external lettering for depth and height, the form lines in the concrete that will and the coffered ceiling that adds the needed strength to floors bearing heavy loads of books and other materials.

GTX 260 freeze + crazy colours
My GTX 260 randomly freezes and displays crazy psychedelic colours, as in the attached picture.
The system doesn't react (can't go into console), and after a while shuts down.
Any ideas?
The fan speed seems to be stuck at 40% (PowerMizer changes the performance level, but fan speed is constant always), so I'm wondering if it could be some problem with overheating (but I can't check the temperature when it happens, because of the crazy system freeze).
Normal temperatures are between 40-45 C and I haven't noticed it rising much more (but I do not always watch it).
The card was bought in July 2009, I don't remember when the problems started but it's at least one year now, sometimes it runs fine for a month, sometimes it crashes frequently (yesterday 3 times, when I was using the graphics application Blender).
I'm on OpenSuse 12.1 and KDE 4.2.7 r5 now, but the same happened previously on Xubuntu/Xfce and OpenSuse/Gnome. I've read some posts about the same problem with the same card in Windows (includinig fan speed stuck at 40%) so I wonder if it's a hardware problem and not from the driver?

Carolyn J. Sharp
Professor of Hebrew Scriptures
Denomination: Episcopal
Website:Personal Site
Professor Sharp's research explores aspects of the composition and theology of Hebrew Scripture texts. Professor Sharp's first book, Prophecy and Ideology in Jeremiah (2003), treats literary-critical issues in Jeremiah as revelatory of a post-exilic power struggle over the prophet's legacy. Irony and Meaning in the Hebrew Bible (2009) explores literary and hermeneutical issues regarding irony in biblical texts, and Old Testament Prophets for Today (2009) offers theological reflections on the prophets in terms accessible to readers with little or no biblical training. Wrestling the Word: The Hebrew Scriptures and the Christian Believer (2010) addresses historical, literary, and ideological-critical issues in Hebrew Scripture studies for the seminary classroom. She has edited or co-edited several books, including Jeremiah Invented (with Else K. Holt; 2014), Prophecy and Power: Jeremiah in Feminist and Postcolonial Perspective (with Christl M. Maier; 2013), and Disruptive Grace: Reflections on God, Scripture, and the Church (2011) by Walter Brueggemann. Her current projects include a commentary on Joshua (Smyth & Helwys) and a commentary on Jeremiah 26-52 (Kohlhammer Verlag). Professor Sharp serves on the editorial boards of the Journal of Biblical Literature, the Library of Hebrew Bible/Old Testament Studies monograph series, and the Biblical Interpretation series. An Episcopal priest, she serves a parish in New Haven.
Read a feature article about Professor Sharp.
When we encounter contestatory moments in our sacred texts, we may struggle through to a fuller and more complete picture of the God who far surpasses any one human language, set of metaphors, or particular storytelling mode. We may reap spiritual fruit from considering the uniqueness of each witness and the importance of the ways in which they speak differently about God and Israel. And we may commit ourselves to hearing and honoring each voice on its own terms as a mandate of Christian hermeneutical ethics. This is wrestling that matters—and the rewards are great indeed.

I am looking for projects that I can complete on a part-time /full time basis. They can be either short term projects or long term projects.

Senior web developer
United States - Last active: 10/25/2013 - Tests: 8 - Portfolio: 5
Over the last 15 years, I have developed a wide range of websites using HMTL, CSS, PHP, and MySQL including sites for startup companies and small corporations. My core competency lies in complete end-end management of a new website development projects, and I am seeking opportunities to build websites from the ground up for you or your business. I am overly competent in database management and have superior knowledge of internet security from experiences from both ends of the spectrum, I have been a hacker in the past and now use this knowledge to better my penetration testing skills.I have many tools that I use to offer clients that guaranteed the most in depth penetration test of their websites. I charge $125.00 for the test, along with a very in-depth compliance report that will explain all vulnerabilities found to you the client. When you hire me for just programming, not only can you rest assured that you will automatically get a secured script and you will not have to worry about sql, xss and csrf vulnerabilities from any part of the scripts that I write. Security is my main focus when writing a script! I have skills in jquery animation, animations with new technology such as adobe edge currently in prototype stage (which will most likely deprecate flash), I have worked on almost every type of website there is from database driven cms, to static html, from real estate websites to javascript driven penny auctions, I have created gaming websites such as knightcrusaders.com, and I also offer server tuning for those who have dedicated servers and find that their websites are just moving to slow, I can optimize queries, tune mysql and php. Again I do have have over 15 years of experience so if there is something I have not listed feel free to ask and I will let you know if I have the ability to do it! I have taken several of the odesk test in order to ensure the client that I do know what I am talking about, I am in top 20% in a few categories which is by far not an easy accomplishment.

Ahead of Sunday's Western Conference Semifinal second leg against Real Salt Lake, LA Galaxy players Landon Donovan, Robbie Keane and Dan Gargan previewed the match.
Check it out above.
The LA Galaxy will give away a team photo of the 2014 squad to the first 20,000 fans who attend Sunday's Western Conference Semifinals second leg match against Real Salt Lake.
In honor of that giveaway, LAGalaxy.com created a photo gallery of every team photo since the team's inaugural season in 1996.
Check out the vintage photos of players like Cobi Jones, David Beckham, Mauricio Cienfuegos, Mike Magee, Carlos Ruiz, and more below.
CARSON, Calif. –To advance from the Western Conference, the LA Galaxy understand that they must breach the man lovingly referred to by Real Salt Lake fans as the "Wall of Wasatch."
Since his triumph over the Galaxy in the 2009 MLS Cup, Salt Lake goalkeeper Nick Rimando has proven himself to be one of the finest 'keepers in all of MLS. And amid that rise, Rimando has consistently been a thorn in the Galaxy's side as his stellar goalkeeping has proven to be Salt Lake's primary weapon against LA's dynamic attack.
"He's quick and sharp. He's very agile and there's a reason that he's in the national team. He's a good goalkeeper," said Galaxy striker Robbie Keane. "But hopefully, he's not too good on Sunday."
During the first leg, Rimando was rarely tested as the Galaxy forced him to make just one save in the scoreless draw. But if LA are to advance on Sunday, Landon Donovan says the Galaxy must challenge RImando early and often.
"We have to put him under pressure, we have to create chances, we have to hit the target," said Landon Donovan who has scored eight goals all-time against Rimando. "You have to keep making him make spectacular saves. He's not going to give us any goals, we know that. If we're going to get a goal then we have to earn it and we're prepared to do that."
Photo Gallery: LA Galaxy train ahead of Western Conference Semifinal second leg against Real Salt Lake
CARSON, Calif. -- The LA Galaxy were back on the training ground on Thursday just three days out from their Western Conference Semifinals second leg match with Real Salt Lake.
Despite Galaxy needing a win -- or a penalty kick shootout victory after a draw after 120 minutes -- to advance past RSL, Galaxy captain Robbie Keane says that confidence is high in training ahead of Sunday's match.
"We know how big the game is," said Keane. "We know that if they score one goal and we tie then we're out. We're an experienced team and we're hoping to keep the confidence high throughout the week. And I can tell by this week's training session's that the guys are ready to go."
Below are photos from the fantastic Mora Photography's Hana Asano from Thursday's training.
It's a game within the game that is as universal as soccer itself.
All across the world, teams from FC Barcelona to the LA Galaxy play a version of the classic keep-away training exercise "5v2." The latest edition of MLS Insider takes a look at how the Galaxy and other teams across the globe use the training game to their advantage once the ball kicks off for real.
Check it out above.
Los Angeles Football Club may be on the scene, but the LA Galaxy are showing that it is their club that holds the claim to be L.A.'s team.
The Galaxy continued their "Handcrafted in Los Angeles" campaign which was started during the summer with a powerful video showcasing the city's sports championships as narrated by Landon Donovan.
Check it out above.
CARSON, Calif. –Real Salt Lake's speedy diminutive striker Joao Plata gave the LA Galaxy fits during their Western Conference Semifinal first leg, but once the second leg rolls around on Sunday, LA are confident that they can shut down the Ecuadorian.
Plata was the main conduit in the Salt Lake attack during Saturday's first leg at Rio Tinto Stadium as he repeatedly stretched the Galaxy back four while notching a pair of shots on frame. The Ecuadorian, who notched 13 goals and six assists during the regular season, also had a pair of goals negated by offside calls including one which was shown to be onside according to television replays.
After tussling with Plata over the course of 90 minutes, Galaxy center back Omar Gonzalez says that he's ready for a challenge on Sunday.
"Plata's a special player. He's small and he's always in my blind side. He's quick. We just have to be aware of where he's at. Don't let him start sprinting freely. Give him a little bump but not too much because the slightest touch can tip him over," said Gonzalez. "Last game the referee (Silviu Petrescu) told me, 'You're just so much bigger than him. What do you want me to do?' When I hear the ref tell me that it's kind of difficult to do my job."
But how does Gonzalez plan to account for Plata -- and the officials -- in a match where one goal by Salt Lake could see the Galaxy's season end prematurely?
"I'm just going to do my job," he said. "I can't worry about the referee and our whole team is over being worried about the referees. We're going to worry about approaching the game with the right mindset. We know that it'll be a challenge against Real Salt Lake for 90 minutes plus and we have to be ready for them."
CARSON, Calif. – The season may be over for LA Galaxy defender Todd Dunivant as head coach Bruce Arena told reporters on Tuesday that he is "not likely" to return for the remainder of the season.
Dunivant has yet to return to full training since tearing his left groin muscle during LA's 6-0 victory over the Colorado Rapids back in September that ruled him out for six weeks. Injuries have been a frequent problem for Dunivant who missed out on four months of the season due to an abdominal tear.
The 33-year-old has made some progress over the last week by taking part in fitness work, but he revealed to reporters on Tuesday that he is still unable to train without experiencing pain.
"Injuries are part of the game and you have to deal with it accordingly," said Arena. "On the team side, it can't be an excuse and on the player side, you certainly feel for the player, but we have to move on and take care of business.
"We've had eight guys who have helped us in the back and they've all been needed."
CARSON, Calif. -- A day after signing with LA Galaxy II, 15-year-old Los Dos goalkeeper Eric Lopez was among the 22-man U.S. Under-16 roster that will take part in a training camp in France from Nov. 13-21.
The nine day training camp will be overseen by U.S. Soccer technical advisor and former U.S. U-17 assistant coach Clint Peay. Lopez will be joined in France by nine other players from California including former Galaxy Academy star Hanif Wright.
The complete roster is below.
LA Galaxy II bolstered their goalkeeping core on Monday by signing 15-year-old LA Galaxy Academy product and U.S. Under-17 international Eric Lopez.
A member of the U.S. U-17 Residency Program in Florida, Lopez becomes the youngest player to ever sign a professional contract in USL PRO. In addition to a sterling academy career that has seen him suit up for each team from the club's U-13 to U-18 levels, Lopez has trained briefly with the Galaxy first team over the past year.
"Eric is another example of the fully-realized player developmental system that the Galaxy have implemented," said LA Galaxy Technical Director Jovan Kirovski in a statement. "We are excited to complete this deal and keep talented prospects like Eric within the Galaxy organization as their careers progress."

PORTLAND A woman driving an SUV hit a 14-year-old girl Monday afternoon in Southeast Portland and then fled the scene, police said.
Police said the Mount Scott Alternative School student was walking in a marked crosswalk when she was struck by an SUV turning from 26th Avenue onto SE Powell Boulevard.
Vicktorya Courtney was rushed to Oregon Health and Science University for treatment. She spoke to KGWfrom her hospital bed.
For her just to leave like that, it's not just sad for me, but sad for her because now she has to have that on her conscience, Courtney said.
She added that the driver stopped after the crash and motioned for her to get up. When she couldn t, the SUV took off.
Courtney described the vehicle as a gold-colored mid-sized SUV, possibly a Lexus. The victim said a woman was driving and she appeared to be in her 40s, about five-foot-three-inches tall, with black and silver hair. The woman was wearing dress slacks and a purple shirt with silver sequins.
Anyone with information that may help investigators was urged to call the police non-emergency line at (503) 823-3333 or send an email.

Doody's Review ServiceReviewer: Aimee R Dietz, Ph.D.(University of Cincinnati College of Allied Health Sciences)
Description: An improvement in this edition of a compilation of both the history and the future of aphasia interventions is the increased support for the notion that aphasia is cognitively based. Additionally, this book provides the foundation for clinicians to learn about restorative and compensatory intervention approaches for people with aphasia and related disorders.
Purpose: The purpose of the fifth edition is to bring together significant thoughts on intervention and to stimulate further developments in the remediation of adults with aphasia, "according to the editor. She has successfully assimilated current research and continued development of intervention and assessment tools in the field of aphasia, traumatic brain injury (TBI), dementia, and right-hemisphere syndrome."
Audience: Clinicians of all levels are the target audience. The standalone chapters could be successfully used independently depending on the purpose of a class or a clinician's caseload. The editor and the contributing authors are respected aphasiology researchers and clinicians at heart.
Features: This book can serve as a guide to clinicians when planning the assessment of and intervention for people with aphasia, TBI, right hemisphere syndrome, and dementia. It helps readers to provide services that are embedded in a social construct regardless of the type of intervention (i.e., restorative, compensatory/augmentative and alternative communication (AAC), or combined). Some of the unique features include a description and examples of diagnostic and treatment SOAP notes and incorporation of Blackstone & Berg's Social Networks (2003) into the assessment chapter. The chapter on communication-based interventions also provides an up-to-date summary of the current state of the science of AAC and aphasia and offers ideas to help clinicians understand how restoration and compensation/AAC interventions can be jointly implemented from day one. An inconsistency that occurs throughout the book is the failure to provide current references in some instances. In some chapters, authors provide few, if any, updated references from the previous edition published in 2001. (It should be noted, however, that some chapters discuss important, historically based interventions that have not been extensively researched in recent years, such as Schuell's stimulation approach to rehabilitation.) In other chapters, authors have not updated incidence and prevalence numbers from the previous edition, while other authors have not updated references to include new treatment approaches that are now available.
Assessment: However, this fifth edition is the most comprehensive book available for clinicians of all levels seeking assessment and intervention ideas for people with aphasia and related disorders.

It was an evening of lush cello sounds and musical variety.
Gary Fitzgerald, who arranged many of the pieces especially for this concert, conducted, Howard Sapp was the featured guest gospel singer and James Jacobs, from local radio station WETA 90.9, was our master of ceremonies.
Our faculty performers included Tanya Anisimova, Marion Baker, Robert Batttey, Nancy Baun, Lynne Beiler, Victoria De La Cruz, Carl Donakowski, Kristin Gilbert, Carlos Figueroa, Harriet Kaplan, Kenneth Law, Sean Neidlinger, Alan Saucedo, Schuyler Slack, Bo-Min Son, and Irina Tikhonova.
Also wonderful was the gathering of past Cellospeak participants, Dorothy, the faculty and folks newly introduced to Cellospeak at the lively post-concert reception. It was good to be reacquainted with those who could come.
And for those who couldn't come, Cellospeak tried for the first time to live stream the concert on the internet enabling folks afar to enjoy the event as well.
All in all, it was an enriching experience for everyone.
And for those who plan ahead, save 3:00 Sunday March 6th, 2016 for our next 16 Cellos concert!

5.0 out of 5 stars Michels Worthy of Title - "FIFA's Coach of The Century",
Michael J. Alward (Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Teambuilding The Road To Success (Paperback)
Rinus Michel's book, together with Bert Van Lingen's book "Coaching Soccer" provide the framework of the "Dutch Vision" of how to coach soccer (football or voetball) - and the Dutch have had more than their fair share of success producing outstanding players since the 1970's.
This book is a fantastic resource for soccer coaches at any level, or any person tasked with administering a youth soccer program. Michels explains the vital importance of small-sided (4v4) games in teaching young players how to play soccer, establishes objectives for the technical development of young players by age group, discussed systems of play.
This is my "top-rated', "must read" book for any serious soccer coach.

Kane (b. 1971), who hanged herself in 1999, was a controversial and influential figure in British drama during the mid- to late '90s. During her short career, the mainstream British press routinely savaged her work, but started to come around with this '98 drama. Other critics and colleagues, including Harold Pinter and Edward Bond, considered her a brilliant iconoclast right from her 1995 debut with Blasted, which dealt with rape, cannibalism, and other subjects generally barred from teatime chat.
Strands of nonlinear narrative run through Crave, but it's more of an abstract poem than a drama. The stage is nearly bare. Four woebegone characters (identified in the program as "A, B, C, and M") sit on metal folding chairs and face the audience, even when they seem to be addressing each other. They're seated boy-girl-girl-boy, and resemble couples at times, though they might be four sides of the same brooder. Character A (Wade A. Vaughn) yearns for love, B (Eric "Pogi" Sumangil) settles for sex and booze, C (Kimberly Richardson) is haunted by visions or memories of sexual and parental abuse, and M (Elise Kuklinca) wants a child to lavish affection on.
The foursome trades exclamations, aphorisms, and plaints in rapid and rhythmic succession. There's one memorable monologue (from A, with nicely wracked work from Vaughn), but most of the text spews forth in shards. Stuff like: "I'm not a rapist, I'm a pedophile," "I feel nothing," "You look reasonably happy for someone who isn't," "I crave white on white and black, but my thoughts race in glorious Technicolor, prodding me awake," "I'm not ill, I just know life's not worth living." (I could see many of these doing well in the T-shirt department at Saint Sabrina's.)
This production, directed by Rebecca Easton, has added a movement component to Kane's play. Four dancers introduce the piece (to a soundtrack of the Pixies and other alt-rock types) and sometimes shadow the actors or offer footnotes on the text. In the interest of full disclosure, I must report that one of these dancers is a downstairs neighbor of mine, more specifically a tenant in the manselike duplex my wife and I own. (I didn't know this until the show began, and it was too late to reassign the review).
Yet it's not fear of a light rent check so much as seasonal diplomacy that compels me to say that this is one of those productions that I admired but didn't really like. For the most part, I found it intellectually interesting but emotionally flat, less profound than lugubrious--an impression aggravated by Chaos Theories' failure to draw out the script's black humor. Granted, this is a play in which "I feel nothing" is a central statement, so perhaps it should be a touch cold. But save for Vaughn's A--mysterious but corporeal--the characterizations seem reluctant to take interpretive chances with the material.
The company does excel, though, in tapping into the script's contrapuntal music. Lines bounce off each other in a disjointed conversation that seems to imagine what channel surfing would be like if all TV programs were written by Beckett, Pinter, and Joy Division's Ian Curtis. Actually, that sounds better than Crave actually is, but isn't the fact that such a scenario can be imagined proof that life is worth living?

Do you own a pair of skates? Give Glen a call, you could be of help! Yesterday we discussed how the Rangers may eventually look outside of the organisation for help on the blueline. Unless you think Stu Bickel, Matt Gilroy or Steve Eminger are the answer then it's perhaps inevitable that the Rangers are on the lookout. Of course, this is assuming that team brass do not want Girardi and McDonagh on the ice every other shift. So, with other teams such as the Red Wings signing viable alternatives such as Kent Huskins already, what's still out there that could help? Should the Rangers look to bring in another defenseman it all depends what the Rangers want from their last pair. The options from either a free agent or trade perspective are limited but there are some intriguing options, both defensive and offensively. Chris Campoli From the unemployed pool, Campoli would likely be the most expensive but at this stage of an abbreviated season anyone looking for work, aren't likely to make ...

A lot of soldiers ain't make it through this year
So lets just celebrate that we still here
from Kanye West (Ft. John Legend) – Home Lyrics on Genius
2 possible meanings:
1) He could be talking about real soldiers, who died in a war and didn't come back home.
2) He could be talking of normal people, who are like soldiers because they fight with the daily struggles in life, who died on different ways, maybe a car crash, an overdose, suicide or an heart attack etc.
No matter which meaning fits better, at the end they are celebrating life and appreaciate the fact, that they are still alive.

Moldovan Church Blames Jews for Anti-Semitic Attack
And we graciously apologize
On behalf of the Jews of Moldova and the world, The Scroll is sorry for the incident that occured several days ago in the Moldovan capital of Chisinau. What happened is that a crowd, led by an Orthodox Christian priest, attacked and toppled a Hanukkah menorah and replaced it with a cross. (A century ago, Chisinau hosted pogroms that killed thousands of the city's massive Jewish population and forced even more to emigrate, including this author's great-grandparents.) Some might blame the priest and the crowd for this incident; in fact, the Moldovan government did, condemning "hatred, intolerance and xenophobia." But earlier this week, the Moldovan Orthodox Church helpfully cleared up matters and pointed out whose fault this regrettable event really was:
We believe that this unpleasant incident in the center of the capital could have been avoided if the menorah had been placed near a memorial for victims of the Holocaust. … we think it inappropriate to put a symbol of the Jewish [religion] in a public place connected to the history and faith of our people, especially because Hanukkah is classified by the [religious] books of Judaism as a 'holiday of blessing' that symbolizes the victory of Jews over non-Jews.
Frankly, this clarification, though welcome, is a bit extraneous. The priest who led the protest put the matter much more succinctly while his followers were removing the offending display: "We are an Orthodox country. Stephan the Great defended our country from all kinds of Zjids [a derogation], and now they come and put their menorah here. This is anarchy."
So, again, on behalf of all of us (we can speak for everyone, we all talk all the time): we apologize. Won't happen again.

Pacira Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: PCRX) today announced consolidated financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2012 and provided updates on the commercial launch of EXPAREL® (bupivacaine liposome injectable suspension) for postsurgical pain in the United States.
"With our first quarter of EXPAREL sales behind us, we are extremely pleased with the launch trajectory and where we are today," said Dave Stack, president and chief executive officer of Pacira. "Based on our sales numbers, initial feedback from the physician community and what we believe to be the market potential for EXPAREL, we feel we have only scratched the surface and look forward to updating you on our commercial success as we expand our market share and explore additional therapeutic indications for EXPAREL."
Recent Highlights and Upcoming Events:
- EXPAREL Commercialization: In the second quarter ended June 30, 2012, EXPAREL sales totaled $2.3 million. As of August 3, 2012, 428 accounts had ordered EXPAREL compared to 164 accounts as of May 8, 2012. Among the accounts that have placed an initial order of EXPAREL, 49 percent of the total accounts have now reordered and 55 percent of hospital accounts have reordered.
- Exploring Additional Indications for EXPAREL: Based on a recent meeting with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, Pacira currently expects to launch a Phase 2/3 clinical program in the second half of 2012 to study the safety and efficacy of EXPAREL for a nerve block indication. Bupivacaine is a standard of care in many nerve block procedures, creating what Pacira believes to be a potential customer base already familiar with the drug and injection techniques.
- Investor Meetings: Pacira management will present at the Wedbush PacGrow 2012 Life Sciences Management Access Conference on Tuesday August 14, 2012 at 8:35 am ET in New York City. Pacira is also planning its first corporate investor event in mid-October, 2012. Attendance will be by invitation only; however, the presentation will be made available via live webcast.
Second Quarter 2012 Financial Results
- Total revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 2012 were $12.3 million compared with $3.6 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2011. Revenues in the second quarter included $2.3 million of net product sales of EXPAREL, which was launched in April 2012, and represents the sale of product shipped directly to end-users, including hospitals and ambulatory surgery centers. Net product sales of DepoCyt(e) in the second quarter increased $1.2 million year over year due to a higher number of lots sold to commercial partners. Collaborative licensing and development revenue in the second quarter of 2012 increased $5.3 million versus the second quarter of 2011 primarily due to the recognition of revenue in connection with the termination by EKR Therapeutics, Inc. of the licensing, distribution and marketing agreement for DepoDur.
- Net loss for the quarter ended June 30, 2012 was $8.3 million, or $0.27 per share (based on 31.0 million weighted average shares outstanding) compared to $8.8 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2011. As of June 30, 2012, the Company had 32.4 million shares outstanding.
- Total operating expenses for the quarter ended June 30, 2012 were $19.0 million compared with $12.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2011. The increase was primarily driven by the commercialization efforts for EXPAREL and manufacturing costs in operating two cGMP facilities.
- Pacira ended the second quarter of 2012 with cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and short-term investments of $86.1 million. In April 2012, the Company received approximately $63 million in net cash proceeds from a secondary common stock offering. Also in April 2012, the Company recorded its first commercial sale of EXPAREL, triggering a $10.0 million contingent payment obligation to SkyePharma Holding, Inc.

New Acupuncture and Asian Medicine Clinic Opens in Studio City
Located on Ventura Boulevard, Bokchi Acupuncture Clinic expertly uses Asian herbal medicine and other therapies to treat a wide variety of acute & chronic illnesses.
Studio City, CA (PRWEB) February 1, 2011
Bokchi Acupuncture Clinic is proud to announce the opening of its office in Studio City, California, serving the entire San Fernando Valley and beyond. The clinic specializes in Bokchi medicine and acupuncture and treats an array of common ailments such as respiratory problems, musculoskeletal disorders, allergies, headaches, depression and anxiety.
Bokchi Acupuncture Clinic's therapies focus on balancing energy and eliminating the body's toxic elements. Acupuncture uses thin sterilized needles to improve energy flow, reducing pain and restoring vitality, health and function to organs, joints and tissues. "Bokchi Medicine" utilizes the art of abdominal palpation by the hand of a trained professional. Areas of pain and sensitivity are identified. These areas are toxic elements accumulated in the body. A clinician then blends Asian herbs into teas, pills and powders to formulate a detox program suited for each patient's medical needs.
The clinic offers other treatments as well. Trigger point therapy, developed by Dr. Janet Travell, identifies and resolves painful trigger points which are found in skeletal muscle fibers. SI Technique, developed by Sung-Im Park, uses two probes which have bipolar magnetic energy to correct body energy flow. Clinicians can also monitor their patients' progress using the Hematology Analyzer, which measures the ratio between granulocyte and lymphocyte activity.
All three of the clinic's members are licensed acupuncturists with experience in Asian medicine. Their methods are based on the Korean modality, as taught by the Korean Bokchi Medicine Association.
