"Living in the Moment" ~ 4th selfie dance video
My 4th selfie dance video to "Living in the Moment" by Jason Mraz.
Lee Isaacson Roll commented on my last dance video, which I had hoped she wouldn't see, out of concern for our, in those moments, different abilities. Instead, she popped right into the conversation. Lee's words << Keep dancing, laughing, exuberant living! Do the things I can no longer do (well, I still laugh-- a lot!) and have the best time ever! You brought back so many memories of JR and the kids when they were little rocking out to Flashdance. Keep on! >> ... So this, Lee, is <3 me with you <3 . Feels like stirring up joy together; thanks for being with me still.
My preface here is no way apology, more my self soothing: I am aware that my energy is a little low after the weekend's 11-hour drives, road trip and glory days with my daughter and son-in-law in the Sierras, the 11-hour drive home on Monday somewhat diminishing. I was thinking of a dance coming round though, feeling a bit of a poser too :-) as my last is already months back. I don't make these selfie videos in any planned way though. I wait until I'm hit with an idea. So that wondering when another dance is coming increased after I read of Lee's passing, belatedly late Monday night. And then ... this morning when I woke at 3:36, eager to get up, I knew: Today I will Dance with Lee. And I will do so with gentleness for us both, as I continue on, setting my own stage for 'ease' from here on.
I'm also noticing, shiveringly so, how fun this is ~ when things line up they really line up. Early on the morning I was leaving for E's, I went out my seldom-used side door, to the garage for loading up. Right there on the narrow steps, a fox had left me a Happy Trails tribute. And then THIS morning when I was out catching the moon ... I'd been on the deck, come in for a minute ... I was about to step back out when there was the fox walking right past my hammock where I'd been two minutes before. ON THE DECK, my hand on the door, four feet from it! I did take a breath and go on out. Then I'd nearly finished filming that segment, all grin inside, when a bat almost bonked my in-the-air feet. Done enough, feeling more giggly than weirded out by the bat, I was taking my pup to our front door which has a substantial landing under a porch roof, wide set of steps ... and right there, sometime in the night the fox had left its little giftie. On our front porch. Now I don't know about you, but I feel holy blessed when creatures make their close comings and goings super apparent to me.
I thought to myself, I have got to do this, with all these energies swirling about, no matter that mine may be lacking. And you'll see, per my commitment, when I get that rush 'today ... I dance' I do, get it done within 24 hours and all right here, in whatever's at hand, and with whatever or whoever shows up. So here we have it, gentling with Lee (and a fawn who happened by right in the middle of my 'filming'): "Living in the Moment," my 4th selfie dance video, by Jason Mraz. with love, Sparky

Okay, before I give myself a heart attack with Takes 9, 10, and 11 ... and with my due caveats 'what IS that body that doesn't look like I feel' and 'I know I can do better than this' (especially if I'm not in front of a camera :-) ) ...

"Loving ourselves, loving Being" ~ 2nd selfie dance video
With my kudos and couldn't-have-finished-without-you appreciation to Jared Johnson for editing/enhancing the final cut, I made this video hearkening to early-Mom-era, with what I thought was a Charlie Chaplin poem "As I Began to Love Myself" supposedly from his late in life. There seems some discrepancy about that poem's authorship, so I won't repost it as CC's. The point still holds: whatever state I'm in, hoorah for valuing myself enough to go on being who I am, as I'm able, free of apologies, regrets, fears, blames ... no worries either (most of the time), and way less holding back. Any who've returned to watch this particular video a second time, may notice I've cut the sections that didn't feel good (I certainly never intended to make fun of anyone but myself :-); this then, my bit choppy Take 2 version. I love we can 'Take 2' through life, as needed. Whatever venue I jump into from here on ... and on and on ... I'm going to keep pulling me rip cord when I'm anywhere near this joy. Thanks for watching. ♥ Sparky

"What a Feeling" ~ 3rd selfie dance video
My Facebook post:
When we know ourselves,
when we get comfortable in our own skin
and come to believe anything can happen ...
"What a feeling!"
With my great appreciation: In "Flashdance" the movie, the original was sung by Irene Cara who was the lyricist with Keith Forsey, the music by Giorgio Moroder. One requirement I place on myself in making and posting videos is that from inspiration to recording/posting I move quickly, embracing solely my immediate geography, 'wardrobe,' spontaneous 'choreography,' novice techie skills, etc. in order that I don't get caught up in perfection obsessions. (What you won't see then, in my in-the-moment outbursting of video is my dancing in my heart with my kids and their spouses and kids, the lot of whom I adore with this same passion.) So my huge thanks to Sister Cristina Scuccia and her winning "Voice" performance in Italy, singing which transcended seeming limitations, and inspired me a few days ago. Brava!
Rather than perpetuating the belief that my old thought line is uncrossably, tenaciously tripping-up grabby, I am comfortable with noting the line now between my believing in myself (or more basically, simply loving myself) and letting myself soar has become, through my practice, so thin it's immaterial. As in posting ... video 3! Yay! Even though I do still have to hurdle over or dodge around: Do I dare; I don't want what I do to bring up hurt in anyone, knowing I do sometimes make takes that come out insensitively other-than-intended; I should have blah blah; My feet hurt and other this & that body stuff; Maybe it's too late; and the lousiest of all, What will others think? ... I continue now yay yay yay to let myself open to the exuberant flow that is me. (And who, I ask myself, who has let themselves be all they could be, ever threw up a permanent barricade that said 'selfie' is too self-y? The point of a selfie isn't me, it's letting go, relief, liking, owning, rising into mySelf and all the other feelings leading up to JOY. And joy is so WAY bigger than me. Here's to loving ourselves enough/and loving others enough, to skip on by those snatcherly thoughts.) If not now and without apology, when?
Yay for the feeling I get in laying down a sentence that I like ... oh, I don't mean these fingers-flying types in my posts and emails, I mean the deep writing work I get to do. As soon as I'm done dancin' today, I'm on to what's current, my first full novel, well underway! Whoohoo!
With love for you and yours! Sparky

"Farewell to Ashley Longworth" 5th selfie dance video
"Farewell to Ashley Longworth," my fifth and maybe last selfie video (with Bloopers!) ... or maybe just the last for a while. (It IS FUN!) No damage done in this one ... just thinking ... might be time for lessons as I've maxed out variety in the dance, or at least what comes out of my hands and feet on the spur of these moments.
I made it again ... squeaked in or real close. I did spend some time ahead on the 'lyrics.' But I donned my skates after decades in storage, also got in the (d#@* ;-) recording, such as it was, the filming and the puttin' it all together in my self-prescribed 24-hour framework. You'll see, what I lack in ability to dub in layered sound still, I solved by learning 'insert text.'
Regarding Ashley Longworth* ... maybe you secret one yourself, or maybe you hold onto an idea that has lovely aspects but really truly you've moved on, or you would if you said good-bye on that front. I'm more goofy than usual after my all-nighter ... so I won't suggest making 'sense' in this ... just enjoy ... if you like. Hugs and off we go.
And later:
I've been thinking about Kitty L. Coleman's comment on my Fb post, 'as long as you're having fun with [the video dances]' ... Thanks! I like running through the various aspects in my mind. You know one thing I absolutely LOVE? The putting together the clips, fitting them to the music, remembering as best I can the 'do this' FIRST, 'and don't forget that part before you do the other.' It's a challenge ... one I LIKE. And it's like nothing I've ever done before. One way I really know the 'this is for me!' satisfaction: last night I looked up from the the computer, the physical doing long done, and I realized 'that's dawn coming on!' ... And the last time I'd glanced at the clock was four or five hours before. I love engagement and 'getting up to speed' with something, and having little bits of it turn out enjoyably. Think of what filmmakers must experience in getting to watch a full movie they've put together!
And: This whole dancing and posting my dancing isn't at all about 'Look at me!' or even 'look at me.' It's about loving the energy that pours through me ... I mean, just LOVING IT ... how it feels to lose track of time and stay up all friggin' night just cuz I'm having so much fun.) And the real kicker/the heavyweight 'oh, it's not just me ... wow, there are others on this island??!!' is when I get to hear from you/others about times when you likewise are just bowled over with being alive (or trying something new, or doing something you've wondered if you could). This is the fun that goes on, after the event itself. And that brings up another point I'm wanted to say ... this time I have is a huge gift, something I've taken/ made for myself (you have to know, my life hasn't always been like this, where I actually can stay up all night and not have little ones needing me in the morning, though I wouldn't have missed those days for anything); I hope everyone who would like similar time with ease in their lives gets it/creates it at some point in their lives, to explore whatever would come up for them, not in performing necessarily, just in living. Hugs! And thanks for coming round!
* Regarding Ashley Longworth: It's seems I may be a rare one here who not only gathered her family on the couch every week during their growing up ~ I did make popcorn, provided candy, I'll give me that ~ taking that one-hour "Waltons" reprieve, enjoying someone else meet the challenges of parenting, and who remembers as if a part of our extended (TV) family, Miss Emily Baldwin's pining away for a brief love, expecting him to return at any moment. Well well to my farewell (not that it matters; it doesn't). Happy now.

ZimRights director Okay Machisa was on Monday arrested and charged by the police in Harare for allegedly conspiring to 'commit voter registration fraud and publishing or communicating falsehoods.'
McDonald Lewanika, the director of Crisis Coalition in Zimbabwe, confirmed to SW Radio Africa that Machisa presented himself to the police in the presence of his lawyer, Beatrice Mtetwa.
Machisa becomes the second person from ZimRights to face similar charges after his deputy Leo Chamahwinya was arrested last year and is still being held in remand prison.
Lewanika said Machisa was arrested together with his personal assistant Faith Mwamutse.
'They've laid the same fraudulent and unfounded charges against Machisa, just like what they did with Chamahwinya. This action by the police was not only unexpected but unjustified as well.
'This is a clear plot by the authorities to stop Zimbabwean voters being enlightened on voter registration and it's a clear attack on the people spearheading this campaign,' Lewanika added.
Jameson Timba, the Minister of State in Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai's office, went on Facebook to make known his views on the latest crackdown.
'The continued harassment of civil society leaders in Zimbabwe who are going about their work, is an affront to democracy and a threat to a free and fair electoral environment. It must stop,' he said.

PRELIMINARY negotiations between the DRC government and M23 rebels continued yesterday in closed sessions in Kampala, Uganda, with the facilitator and both sides consulting on the agenda of the talks.
Lt Col. Paddy Ankunda, Deputy Spokesman, Uganda Peoples Defence Forces (UPDF), said the two sides have for the last two days been deliberating on the rules of procedure and agenda of the talks.
"We hope that by the end of today (yesterday) this phase will be concluded and then meet tomorrow for the plenary that will endorse both items," Ankunda said.
The International Conference on the Great Lakes Region (ICGLR) facilitator, Dr Crispus Kiyonga, Uganda's Minister of Defence, mediated the sessions.
Both the Kinshasa and the M23 delegations have for the last few days treaded accusations, sometimes in the presence of journalists.
M23 delegation chief Francois Rucogoza said the security situation in the eastern Congo was down to the government's refusal to recognise that "there are internal problems that need thorough diagnosis and treatment."
"It is a consequence of poor governance," Rucogoza said.
The government delegation is led by Foreign Affairs minister Raymond Tshibanda, who accused the rebels team of insulting the government in their opening statement.
The preliminary talks between the warring parties began a week after the M23 pulled back its fighters from the Congolese strategic towns of Goma and Sake under a regional arrangement that required President Joseph Kabila's government to allow political talks.
The group was formed when hundreds of fighters deserted from the Congolese army early this year, accusing the government of reneging on a 2009 peace deal which had ended an earlier rebellion.
ICGLR, which is leading diplomatic efforts to resolve the conflict, is a regional grouping composed of 12 countries.

URL? I saw some passing references to it, but nothing substantial.
While CHP or law enforcement do receive some training they are hardly
driving experts. In face when I was taking the motorcycle safety course
they taught us the concept of counter-steering. There was a simple test
where you had to approach at 15 mph and then to simulate an emergency
you can to turn hard right, left hard left, or emergency stop as
signalled by the instructor.
Out of the 8 of us in the class we all passed on the first test. I
watched a 10 year recertification that the motorcycle police officers
were required, half of them failed. You'd think that after 10 years of
active duty that in a surprise situation you'd have the right instinct.
Unfortunately counter steering is one of those things that is
counter-intuitive and that when you get a big surprise and you think it
through that your common sense/carefully thought out response will be
completely wrong. So next class I asked about it, the instructor said
that was about average and that the old school police officer types
weren't particularly receptive and considered themselves experts that
didn't need to listen. Said instructor was pretty good at dodging
though. I have to say it was pretty amusing watching folks desperately
trying to turn with no effect.
Did said officer try shifting into neutral? Use the emergency AND
normal brakes? Downshift?

I've yet to see anything substantial that shows that the vast majority
of problems are just the end user. Much like happened with Audi.
Certainly if it happens to you:
* Stop ASAP, do *NOT* ride the brakes which (depending on the car) might
eventually overheat. Maybe this is what the officer did.
* Shift into neutral or a lower gear, exceedingly high RPMs might sound
terrible, but a blown engine is much cheaper than the alternatives.
* If BOTH of the above fails turn off the car with the key or button,
which might require holding the button down. Be warned the steering
and brakes can get substantially harder to use after being turned off.
Also note that turning the key too far can lock the steering wheel.
* as a last resort the emergency brake can help, they aren't typically
designed to be used at speed though.

Video: Oakland University Runs Genius Inbounds Play
With a mere six-tenths of a second remaining and trailing Youngstown State by two in the opening round of the Horizon League tournament on Tuesday, things seemed bleak for Oakland University. However, Golden Grizzlies head coach Greg Kampe had one hell of an ace up his sleeve.
Kampe had his inbounds passer run the baseline, knowing that the Youngstown defender would shadow him the whole time. Meanwhile, Oakland's Travis Bader stood stationary along the same baseline. The Youngstown player was whistled for a foul after colliding with Bader, sending Bader to the charity stripe for the game-tying free throws en route to the Grizzlies' 96-92 overtime win.
"We were trying to draw the guy guarding the inbounds pass to foul," Bader told reporters afterward. "A circumstance like that, there's a lot going on and you think he's trying to heave it down court, so it was a really nice drawn-up play by coach Kampe."
Some might consider it a cheap play, but to his credit Kampe conferred with officials ahead of time to let them know that he was running the play and confirm that they would call the foul if Bader got run over.
"I go, 'You got to call it now if he runs him over,'" Kampe told reporters. "He goes, 'If he runs him over, Bader goes down and he goes down on top of him, I'll call it.' "

Rob Dyrdek's Pro Contest Series, "Street League" has just added three more names to the growing all-star roster. Geoff Rowley, David Gonzalez and Luan Oliveira are making sure Flip is represented in the circuit which kicks off on August 28th 2010 in Phoenix Arizona. We'll have more on the league as it unfolds.
Diamond formally announced this weekend that they are about to shake up the griptape game with the launch of Grizzly Griptape with Torey Pudwill. Joining Pudwill on the Grizzly team will be P-Rod, Dyrdek, Andrew Brophy, and Guy Mariano. In other words, they can't lose.
As reported first by columnist Jason Bergh, Rob Dyrdek has popped off something big with the establishment of his Street League, the first ever professional league in skateboarding history. Chris Cole, Ryan Sheckler, Greg Lutzka, Torey Pudwill, PJ Ladd, Sean Malto, Mike Mo Capaldi, Mikey Taylor, Billy Marks, Tommy Sandoval, and Paul Rodriguez have all signed on to skate Street League's inaugural three events in Arizona, California, and Las Vegas. Exactly how exclusive contracts can be in the face of X Games, Maloof Cup, and Dew Tour will be interesting to see. We'll have more as Street League progresses.
Sometimes the gear gods are not kind. Check out the original leather from the DC Dyrdek Collection. Super buttery, ill cut, printed lining and with the sickest rainbow skittle zips, this baby was originally set to retail for more that $600. That's Dyrdek's clout for you. They even made four custom colored ones for his Street Dreams premieres. Unfortunately, realistic sales forecasting prevailed and the jacket was re-formulated for it's actual release. The cut is still good, but the leather has been downgraded and gone are those precious precious zips. Bummer. More looks at the last one on earth after the jump.
Each year thousands of New Yorkers push themselves to the mind altering distance of 26.2 miles in the New York Marathon. Most do it to brag to their friends, some do it because they like torture, and a few do it for a good cause. Actions sports icon Sal Masekela has decided to jump headfirst into the latter category and is doing a last minute bid at the distance for the sake of his mentoring organization, Stoked. His strategy? Out Diddy Diddy. To learn more or donate go to RunSalRun.
We previewed Rob Dyrdek's RD0915AW collection for you a while back. Today we announce it's official release. You can cop the new RD1 Mid plus skate denim, fleece, t-shirts, hats, wallets, and a high-end leather jacket at worldwide retailers starting right now. Plus, cause you know Rob don't play, he is combo'ing the release with an episode of Fantasy Factory that showcases the collection. Cha-ching! Some more shots after the jump.
Someone must really love this Gymkhana thing, cause it keeps going longer than the energy bunny. Next up is version 2.1. This one is pretty funny though, with Rob Dyrdek getting in on the action in his exact replica mini-Gymkhana whip and further proving that he gets paid purely to have fun. You can't hate on that though. If you still need more, hit up DC for some behind the scenes love.
As promised, here are looks at Rob Dyrdek's new DC collection RD-0915AW, hitting stores on October 1st. You'll notice a water motif runs through the entire line with blue colors and pool ripple patterns appearing throughout. The new RD1 Mid kicks are especially dope with a definite nod to DC Life. Take a look at the whole collection after the jump.
It's hard to believe that it took 14 years to happen, although he probably planned it that way, but Rob Dyrdek is launching his first full apparel, accessory and footwear line with DC this fall. The RD0915AW collection, which is flipped from the branding on Dyrdek's first DC shoe, includes custom fit skate denim, a lightweight zip fleece, T-shirts, hats, wallets, a leather jacket, and Rob's 15th footwear model, the RD1 Mid. The collection is tied together with the theme "Fantasies Run Deep" and will hit stores on October 1, 2009. Check out Dyrdek rocking some of the stuff after the jump. We will have product shots soon.
Not surprisingly, Rob Dyrdek's second MTV series, "Fantasy Factory" was a huge hit and has been renewed for another season. Starting August 27th at 9pm you can once again join the dude with the best life in the world for his adventures in skateboarding and superstardom. The new season drops just in time to lead up to the October release of Dyrdek's new DC apparel and accessory line and his 15th DC pro model, the RD1 Mid. More on that soon.

Teen Mom
First Pics From Farrah Abraham's Porn Video Surface — OMG!
The moment we've all been waiting for (read: dreading, fearing, etc) has finally arrived. The very first snapshots from Teen Mom star Farrah Abraham's hotly anticipated porn film, Farrah Superstar: Backdoor Teen Mom, are upon us. And our retinas will never be the same.
TMZ managed to get their hands on a slew of NSFW photos from Farrah's 70-minute sex romp with adult film star, James Deen, and let's just say they offer an alarming visual of what to expect when the full tape is released on the Internet May 6 (and in stores nationwide May 14). And guys, the photos suggest that the phrase "Backdoor Teen Mom" means exactly what it sounds like...
We won't go into the details of Farrah's x-rated pics (head over here to see them), but it looks like Farrah and James spent a fair amount of time frolicking around a set that looks like a cheap hotel room (with weird pirate art), before Farrah strips off her clothes and gets down to business. And yes, it appears that we'll be treated to a scene of Farrah soaping herself up in the shower. Yay!
Also, Farrah's sex faces are everything you could possible want and more. You're welcome, universe.

Speaking on Carlson Gracie Naperville, each lesson is about 1.5 hours, and if you go 3x per week the rate is $7.60 per hour. Not too shabby.
On the other hand, they only want to draw monthly out of your checking account ($95.00). So missing weeks (or months) here and there is really annoying (cancelling, re-instating). The head instructor doesn't seem to want to deal with payment issues either. There's some other dude who hangs around, who seems to be some unofficial manager you deal with.
Needless to say, I don't go there anymore for that reason. But really, only that reason alone.

Broadcom has chips for STBs in Asia/Pac
Broadcom has developed a line of chips for DVB-C based set-tops aimed at the Chinese cable market, and another set of chips for IPTV set-tops, also with Asia/Pacific markets in mind.
Broadcom is claiming to have fabbed the first DVB-C cable tuner developed in 65 nanometer (nm) technology; the smaller dimensions translate into lower power consumption and lead to lower costs.
The BCM7003 chip includes a 10/100 Fast Ethernet media access controller (MAC) that enables two-way interactive services such as video-on-demand (VoD), digital video recorder (DVR) functionality and Internet browsing.
The chip also supports cable standards employed in India, Europe, Latin America, South America and Asia.
According to In-Stat market research, there are more than 37 million digital cable subs in China; the research operation projects that number to reach 135 million by 2013, with set-top box revenue in China expected to peak at $1.3 billion in 2011.
Broadcom also expanded its line of silicon for Internet protocol (IP) set-tops, with new chips to complement its BCM7405 product.
The three new devices deliver different feature sets for mid-range and thin client applications, supporting single or multi-room TV delivery and distribution. With both media server and thin client devices using this chip family, STB manufacturers can leverage a common hardware and software architecture, accelerating time-to-market for multi-room solutions, Broadcom explained.
All three chips feature multi-format video support with an MPEG-4/VC-1/MPEG-2/AVS-compliant HD video decoder. Two, the BCM7205 and BCM7206, are designed for the needs of the mid-range single HD decode STB. The BCM7466 is designed for the entry-level SD output segment of the STB market.

This was his first attempt!
Peter Barrett has been documenting his cooking adventures since the beginning of 2006, at his website Cookblog. His skills are impressive, to say the least! In addition to being a cook extraordinaire, he is a painter, a potter, a culinary teacher and a food writer for Chronogram, an arts and culture magazine in the Hudson Valley.
His latest article in Chronogram, Cottage Industry-The Joys and Challenges of a Home-Based Food Business has some great information for any of you who might be thinking about selling your cheese at a farmer's market, etc. The regulations might be a bit more complicated than you think.
Peter claims on his profile to have a "really great personality," and we have to agree, because he generously agreed to share his post about the first time! he made camembert:
The Soft Parade
By Peter at Cookblog
Now the saga that follows actually covers a few cheeses over their various stages for maximum confusion. But I want to make clear at the outset that making this sort of cheese is every bit as easy as making feta. The only significant difference is that it needs to be aged at wine fridge temperatures rather than fridge fridge. But if you have a basement or crawl space beneath your house, a couple of plastic food storage vessels of suitable dimension will provide all of the gadgetry you require. You will, as with the feta, have to order the bacterial (and mold) cultures and rennet, and having a local source for (organic) raw or minimally processed milk is the sine qua non for this sort of operation.
Having said that, the rest is as easy as pie. Ripe, stinky pie with a gooey, slowly oozing center of creamy pale yellow goodness, that is. The process is the same: bring your milk to 86? F, the temperature that mesophilic cultures like, and add the bacteria either as dry powder or as cultured milk you saved from your last batch. Then you add some of the mold (I use two, since one helps keep the white skin that the other grows from slipping off during the occasional handling later on) and then curdle it with rennet and cut and stir the curds over an hour or so, keeping the temp fairly constant. If you haven't yet, do click over to that feta post so you can see how this works. It's very easy.
And then the curds go in the mold to drain and settle into the shapes we know and love. Here's a shot of curds in my big round mold, with mats top and bottom to show how we flip it over every hour or six:
pyramid-shaped mold, complete with beautiful, glistening highlights courtesy of the kitchen window:
cheese wrap and aged another several weeks. I sit the wrapped cheeses on top of the plastic tubs that house the moldering ones. In a month or so I'll be using grape leaves instead, because why not?
brevibacterium linens as well. This gives a reddish blush to the rind, and a characteristically footy odor to the result. You know the color from muenster (real muenster, not the rubbery simulacrum that supermarkets foist upon the microbially phobic). Technically, brie and camembert age at slightly different temperatures, but it doesn't matter. Here's a shot of a brie fresh out of the mold:
But let's not go crazy. As I have courted microbial collaboration in more and more culinary endeavors, I have learned that all the desirable microbes really need from us is a competitive advantage and they can exterminate their competition handily by generating acids and other compounds that benefit us and keep the food safe. It is, after all, what they do, and it's why we love them.
Pickles, vinegar, wine, and cheese: these and more are all the results of us inoculating food or drink with beasts that excrete acids or alcohol or other compounds that kill their rivals and taste great to us. Often they have many health benefits as well. Embrace the unseen world. If something smells rotten, it is. Compost it and try again. But mostly things do not smell rotten if you make them halfway right and age them at a temperature where your millions of pets can do their job properly.
In time, I have no doubt that variations and accidents will emerge, and the results will change and improve. But this very first try was so inspiring and exciting that I'm ready to try a bunch of new techniques this week to keep the expansion going for as long as possible. Future batches of these two cheeses will get washed with various local liquors to see how that works. Tomorrow I make salami. When the results are this good, there's no earthly reason not to make things for yourself. Try it!

Sinus Surgery Lawsuit Ruled Against ENT
A jury found against the ENT and ambulatory surgery center rewarding $2.5 million dollars to not only the patient, but also the wife "for loss of consortium".
Damage to the eye and vision is part of the normal consent process for endoscopic sinus surgery when considering the geographic proximity of the eye and sinus cavities.
Eye muscle injury as in this case is particularly relevant when surgery is performed on the ethmoid sinus cavity which is located between the eyes (purple in illustration). Risk of injury is even higher when powered instruments are used like a diego sinus shaver.
Although informed consent appears to have been present, the jury still found for the patient:
- $1.5 million to Mr. Dias for pain and suffering
- $0.5 million for loss of service
- $0.5 million to his wife for loss of consortium.
This case appears to suggest that informed consent does not really provide any legal protection. A bad outcome regardless of consent implies sufficient cause for lawsuit... and winning.
This case also suggests that any bad outcome can affect a patient's ability to have intimate relations with a spouse which is sufficient cause for lawsuit and winning.
I wonder if I now have to add to the informed consent (which may not afford me any legal protection) the possibility of "loss of consortium" with a spouse.

Informed consent has always been suspect as far as protecting a surgeon against a suit. Lawyers always can find issues that were not brought up. There have also been cases where the patient admits he was informed but says he "didn't understand" what the potential complication really involved. Try to explain a possible common bile duct injury to an 80-year-old man with a high school education.ReplyDelete
Face it (no pun intended), a bad outcome is often hard to defend regardless of the consent form that was signed.
I agree the loss of consortium thing looks a bit out of whack. But just because a patient was informed of risks does not mean a physician should be absolved should one of the mentioned risks arise due to negligent execution or post-operative management. If all you're going on is the writeup in the link, there's nothing there that says the physician delivered care appropriately (only that his defense was "he was warned").ReplyDelete
Just because it may be more difficult to get a patient to understand the true risks and expectations of a surgical intervention doesn't excuse using a "one size fits all" consent process.
And informed consent, when done in a way that truly tries to help a patient gain understanding (instead of pro forma "consenting" the patient) is one of the best ways to reduce malpractice risk. Or at least, that's what the U of Michigan's health system things, anyway: http://educatetheyoung.wordpress.com/2012/07/19/transparency-begins-with-informed-consent-and-shared-decision-making/

"I did not begin my aikido training in the Iwama tradition. When I first heard about it, I was told that Iwama style was based on the knowledge that Saito Sensei gained from O-Sensei during the many years that he lived and trained as an uchi deshi at Iwama. Although I knew this definition, I didn't understand what it meant until I saw Saito Sensei conduct a seminar. Seeing Saito Sensei in action and hearing his explanation of why he taught in a particular manner was a humbling experience. After just one day of training, I understood why it was important to Saito Sensei, and should be important to the whole aikido community, to preserve the styles and forms that O-Sensei taught at Iwama.

Phase II of cardiac rehabilitation is the
initial outpatient cardiac rehab program.
The goal of phase II is to lower your risk of future heart problems.
You will take part in a supervised exercise program.
You will receive
information and tools to make lifestyle changes, such as:
You may also receive
vocational rehabilitation so you can return to work safely and sooner.
rate of recovery depends on age, gender, and other health conditions. Depending
on your condition and how you respond to rehab, you may stay in a particular
phase or move back and forth among the various phases. There is no set length
of time that you must stay in a specific phase.
If a person has been in the hospital, phase II typically follows the cardiac rehab home program. But some people might enter phase II right after they leave the hospital.
Discuss any additional physical limitations or medical issues with your doctor before you start any exercise program.
The frequency and duration of phase II rehab sessions for each week will
vary depending upon the structure of your personal program. Your exercises may vary depending on your medical history, clinical status, and symptoms,
and whether you had heart surgery.
During phase II, you will exercise regularly, usually in a
hospital rehab facility. This exercise includes stretching, aerobic exercise, and an introduction to strength
Your exercise goals for phase II of cardiac
rehab are to:
Your progress will be monitored by several rehab staff
members. While you exercise, a health professional tracks
your heart rate and rhythm, blood pressure, and symptoms.
Stretching and flexibility
Make stretching part of your
warm-up and cooldown every time you exercise. The benefits from an
increase in flexibility are numerous. And as part of your lifetime physical
maintenance program, stretching will help increase the length of time that you
can continue to be active. Enjoy the feeling of relaxation as you stretch. As
you do each exercise in a slow and controlled manner, focus on your
breathing and become more aware of your body's range of motion and positioning.
An example program is:
Aerobic exercise
Phase II rehab includes a carefully
monitored aerobic program that involves one or more types of exercise. Choose
an exercise that you enjoy, and record how hard you exercise. Use your target
heart rate (THR) and
rating of perceived exertion (RPE).
You will exercise within a specific heart rate range. Over time,
your staff will probably ask you to work harder when you exercise.
Sometimes exercise may cause angina (such as chest pain or discomfort). It is important to know when you
reach an exercise intensity that causes angina and to exercise below that
threshold. So note your heart rate intensity at any signs of chest
discomfort or pain, and tell your doctor and the staff who is supervising your
exercise. It is suggested that you use heart rate monitors to accurately record
your heart rate and exercise 10 to 15 beats per minute (bpm) below the known
Minimum of 3 to 5 times a
Strength training
Strength training has been shown
to be very effective with cardiac patients for improving muscular strength and
endurance as well as help in improving coronary risk factors. It also decreases
the cardiac demands of daily activities such as lifting and increases your
endurance capacity for other activities. Do not start a strength-training program without discussing it with your doctor.
When you are strength training, be sure to follow recommendations for correct technique, breathing, and appropriate intensity.

Israeli paragliding brand is no flight of fancy [video]
Posted By Viva Sarah Press On August 25, 2011 @ 12:00 am In Lifestyle,Sports | No Comments
A boyhood fascination with flying has been transformed by Anatoly Cohn into one of the world's most successful paragliding companies.
Apco's hang gliders are one of the most popular brands in the world.
A boy who dreamed of flying while growing up in Russia turned his fantasy into a reality by developing a top paraglider aircraft company in Israel.
Anatoly Cohn, CEO of Israel's APCO Aviation, was deported from Russia in the 1970s, and then set up business in Israel making hang gliders. Forty years later, he heads one of the world's most successful brands in paramotoring and paragliding equipment.
The family-run business has dealers in more than 60 countries, and 15 world records have been set using APCO gliders. The company's R&D is considered top-notch; its Mayday reserve parachute system has saved hundreds of paragliders and hang gliders in trouble.

I have dedicated this post to make my readers understand exactly, what are the essential principles that expert cinematographers follow to deliver state of the art moving imagery? How these elements evoke audience emotions? What are the core elements of cinematography that every newbie and veteran should have on their finger tips? Below I have mentioned these secret ingredients for you to understand & master yourselves, in the simplest form, so let's get started :-
Subject is described as, object or person of principle interest in a photograph or a video clip, for which the photograph or video is captured for. It is the subject, a cinematographer (or photographer) intends to captures in first place.
Foreground in a given frame is described as object or person closer to camera then the subject or the object or person between the camera and the Subject.
Background is that element of a frame, which lies behind the Subject. It is farthest from the camera.
Let us have a look at few examples:
There will be frames where foreground and even background is missing; your foremost concern should be to identify your subject and SEPARATE IT from Foreground and Background elements. More SEPARATION more visual cue for the audiences to force their point of interest on the Subject.
It is the light reflecting from objects which allows human eye or a camera to form an image. Imagine yourself sitting in a dark room with no trace of lighting, would you be able to see anything?
Light not only equips us with the power of vision but its direction intensity and color EVOKES sense of Emotion.
HARD LIGHT (light which forms sharp edged shadows) is used for INTENSIFYING emotions of DARK nature like anger, depression, anxiousness, fear and horror etc.
Whereas SOFT LIGHTING (light which forms more diffused shadows) is used for portraying beauty, love, affection, happiness and other such positive emotions.
Frontal lighting – If the light source is directed to front of the subject, it is called frontal lighting or flat lighting. It is basically used for magazine covers and home videos. Frontal light puts the emphasis on central feature of face (if subject is a person). Moreover frontal light is EMOTIONALLY more NEUTRAL lighting method.
Side lighting – if light source is directed to sides of the subject it produces some dramatic emotions, that are great for portraits They also help in escalating the intensity of the emotions. It reveals form and features of subject.
Lighting from above and below the subject cause shadows, which are mostly used to accentuate emotions and to demarcate the features of subject. Light from below also produces hard shadows utilized by horror film cinematographers.
A backlight is light coming from a source placed behind the subject it gives for surreal feeling or larger than life feeling.
Direction of lighting and its emotional perspective is essential to learn topic.
3 Point lighting system: It is the most classic lighting setup used, consisting of- a key light (main light), a fill light (secondary to main light) and a backlight or hair light (placed behind subject to demarcate edge of hair and or whole body –silhouette).
KEYLIGHT and Fill lights are generally placed at sides of the subject, a lighting director can alter the angles or height of lights but more or less the direction of lighting is sideways. The ratio between intensities of Key light to Fill light is called the LIGHTING RATIO. If the lighting ratio is high, the lighting system is called HIGH KEY LIGHTING (of course it suggests higher intensity of key light). If the lighting ratio is low it is termed as LOW KEY LIGHTING (suggesting lower intensity of key light).
It is the zone or range of distance in full focus (sharp). If field of vision spans from fore ground to background Depth of field is the range of distance where objects appear clear and sharp. Telephoto Camera lenses have shallow depth of field blurring foreground and background and concentrating entirely on Subject (increases the sense of separation). Whereas, the wide angle lenses provide deeper depth of field allowing foreground and background also to be IN FOCUS along with the subject.
Shifting of focus between subject and fore ground or background to subject produces revealing effects and is called Racking or Rack Focus.
Exposure means amount of light entering camera, which in turn constitutes luminescence value of the corresponding photograph or video clip. Higher exposure results in higher luminescence of photography but it may (depending upon the lighting condition) result in clipping details of image or video, this phenomenon is called Overexposure. It must be avoided in all conditions. Similarly Underexposure (lower exposure valve) can drastically reduce lighting in the scene or image.
It is the classical PRINCIPLE for COMPOSING a frame for photograph or film. It consists of 2 straight lines vertical (equidistance to each other) and 2 straight lines horizontal (equidistance to each other) dividing the frame into 9 equal parts. Much better COMPOSITION can be attained simply by placing FOREGROUND, SUBJECT, and BACKGROUND on or around the intersecting points (between horizontal and vertical lines).
How to use lines: GOOD COMPOSITION PRACTICES
Good compositions require use of Straight lines. Horizontal & Vertical lines are used for generating sense of stability and peace. Where as diagonal lines direct viewer eyes towards there convergence. Diagonal CONVERGING LINES produce tension and agitation.
EYE LEVEL- Camera positioned at eye level or level of subject- audience feel absence of camera making them part of scene or shot.
LOW ANGLE- Camera positioned below eye level of subject- audience get the feeling of subject being larger, bigger, and powerful.
HIGH ANGLE- Camera positioned above eye level of subject- audience take a much higher position giving them the feeling of a vulnerable more smaller subject they might feel pity for the subject.
Bird's Eye View- Camera positioned perpendicular to subject – used for aerial cinematography and for landscapes and city lines.
Point OF view- Camera positioned acting as the eye of the subject CAMERA moves as the subject moves to explore the world of character (subject). Audience sees the world with subject's eyes.
Moving camera can create emotions. When a camera moves it has to move in relation to someone or something to communicate the emotion of the story. Let us have a look at core camera movement and the emotions they evoke:
A camera Pan movement is nothing but camera placed on a tripod is rotated right or rotated left in a horizontal pan. This type of camera movement is used for establishing the scene or revealing something. Rapid movement from one side to another is termed as Swish Pans used for transition from one shot to another & for producing sense of rapid motion, tension.
Dolly moves are of three types –
Tracking in (towards the subject)- Creates a bit of tension and a sense of intimacy with the subject .
Tracking out (from the subject)- Moving away from a subject feels like the character is abandoned or lonely. Sense of empathy generates inside audience mind for the character.
Tracking right to left (from one subject to another)-Can be used to UNDERLINE change of emotions between the characters.
Round dolly (around the subject) – Can be used for exploring the environment surrounding the subject it also makes audience feel the silence before the storm situation.
ZOOM IN –OUT – to elevate expressions of actor with a touch of suspense and something is coming to catch you up feeling.
Hand Held Camera movement feels a bit shaky and unsattleling, but makes environment feel more strange and dangerous.
HITCHCOCK EFFECT – This effect was often used by Hitchcock in his age of cinema and one still feels its brilliance. It is combination of dolly movement and zoom,Tracking in with zooming out of subject, Tracking out with zoom in to the subject. This way the subject remains the same sized, while the background increases or decreases in size resulting into overwhelming emotion of world crashing on them.
This post is quiet verbose in nature, but I wanted it to be like this. Me and my team had to go through several books to bring this post to life. I hope, my readers would have enjoyed and learned from it. Let me know your suggestions and discussions in the comment window below.

I don't have the expertise of the Lounge Legal Department when it comes to this lockout nonsense, and I'm not going to pretend that I do. But, since my family has held Steelers season tickets since the opening of Heinz Field I did have an opportunity to jump on commissioner Roger Goodell's conference call with Steelers fans Thursday. Here are some highlights.
– To say the call went off without a hitch wouldn't be accurate, at least from my end, as there were some audio problems early on. After getting on the line at approximately 2:30 PM we were treated to roughly five minutes of NFL Films-style music playing in the background that kept cutting in and out. Once the call finally started the commissioner was introduced, he made his opening statements and talked about how, having spent some time in Western Pennsylvania, he knows how passionate and knowledgable Steelers fans are. He then opened up the floor for questions.
I never had an opportunity to ask a question, mainly because I never actually heard what the process was for asking questions (it's not like it was a free-for-all with an open mic). The sound quality was poor from the start and gradually got worse, particularly while a 40-year season ticket holder was asking a question. I never did hear what he asked, or the answer he was given. For about six minutes the sound was reduced to a whisper, and turning up the volume on my phone did no good, which was disappointing. Then, magically, it was restored.
– The call lasted almost exactly 30 minutes and didn't really shed light on anything new. It was basically the same thing we've heard over the past few months: Our goal is to play a full season, seeking to put balance back into the CBA, NFLPA is attacking the draft, best way to solve this is through negotiations, rookie wage scale needs adjusting, and money should be going to established players. Same things, just different ways of saying it. Which is about what I expected, and that's not any different from the players' side. I went through their PR game back in November and that's basically what this was, only without the free food. At this point I'm not on either side, mainly because it's easier for me to just say "You're both responsible for this, so stop trying to win our support, stop talking about getting a deal done, and actually get a deal done." No amount of conference calls or free dinners will change that.
– There was more than one question regarding Super Bowl tickets and why season ticket holders of the participating teams get the shaft when it comes to seat quality. His answer essentially came down to, there's an overwhelming demand for Super Bowl tickets, a limited supply, and the league does the best it can to distribute the seats as fairly as possible.
There was also a lot of talk about fines directed at the Steelers, with more than one person accusing the commissioner and Ray Anderson of unfairly targeting the Steelers, and James Harrison in particular. Surely you're not surprised that came up, are you?
– One of the first questions was in support of an 18-game season (one of the first people I've actually heard in support of it) and removing two preseason games. Goodell talked about how this is what fans want — more regular season football — and it's a topic I wanted to address if given the opportunity. For one, I wanted to know where's the evidence that fans actually want an 18-game schedule. Of the fans I've talked to, both in person and online, the majority seem to be against an expanded regular season for a number of reasons, including, but not limited to: Increased injuries, decreased quality late in the season because of injuries, decreased quality early in the season because of a shorter preseason, and the potential for three or four weeks of meaningless games for some teams at the end of the season instead of one or two weeks of meaningless games. (SL exceptions: countertorque and GlennW. Your votes have been recorded.)
I understand the value of the preseason, both from a coaching standpoint and for players on the bubble trying to earn a roster spot, so my problem isn't necessarily that the preseason is four games long, but because I'm forced to pay regular season prices for two games that are far below regular season quality. Reduce the price of the tickets to something that is more in line with seeing starters play for a quarter before the Arena Football League fodder comes in and I'd be more receptive. Or, if that's not an option, how about the possibility of simply not purchasing those games? The NFL gives season ticket holders the option of NOT buying playoff tickets, but forces preseason games on them. There is, of course, a reason none of those options are on the table: Because the preseason, whether it's two games or four games, is a cash cow.
– On what other options the league has to play a full schedule if the season doesn't start on time, Goodell said they have options that include eliminating the bye week, eliminating the bye week between the Conference Championship games and the Super Bowl, as well as pushing the Super Bowl back an additional week.
– Goodell was asked if progress was made during the most recent discussions why they're waiting until after June 3 to speak again. He said he's hopeful that there are more discussions before then and the best way to get this settled, and for everyone to get "what they need, and not what they want," is through more talks.

A MATHEMATICAL technique for studying disorder in quantum systems could improve internet keyword searches. It is able to spot significant patterns in large data sets such as web pages and text documents, and may even be adaptable to genome analysis.
Standard keyword searching compares word frequencies in one document with the frequencies in a standard corpus of text from many sources. If a word in the document occurs more frequently than average, it is considered important.
The new method gauges the importance of words in a document based on where they appear, rather than simply on how often they occur. "You should be able to detect an intrinsic property of a book without the need to compare it with different books," says Pedro Carpena, a physicist at the University of Malaga in Spain.
Carpena previously used mathematics from a field called random matrix theory to analyse quantum systems. ...

The NCAA is currently investigating reports that the father of Cameron Newton, quarterback of second-ranked Auburn and a favorite to win the Heisman Trophy, demanded money from schools during the recruiting process.
According to ESPN, Cecil Newton told Mississippi State University that it would take a payment of $100,000 to $180,000 for his son to sign with the program. The allegations, if true, would compromise Cameron Newton's eligibility and possibly invalidate Auburn's season.
Whether or not the Newtons solicited money from universities in exchange for Cameron's football ability has yet to be determined, but regardless of the outcome, the NCAA has a huge problem on its hands.
In September, 2005 Heisman Trophy winner Reggie Bush was forced to return his award after it was discovered that he and his family received large gifts from agents during his playing days at the University of Southern California, according to Fox Sports.
Sports Illustrated recently ran a cover story on an agent who paid dozens of college football players over his career.
While Cameron Newton is the most prominent player under allegations at this time, he is certainly not the first. If the NCAA does not step in to end this problem, the college football landscape will start to resemble the NFL.

Bucking the trend of "seeing the thing you are writing about", James Moran walks around HMV and draws his own conclusions. These are the reviews The Powers That Be (informed, paid reviewers) don't want you to see/don't even know about. This week, if you're looking for a Christmas gift DVD special look no further. Well, actually, look further down this page.
The more Hollywood relies on remakes and pours money into superhero franchises that are safer bets at the box office, the more people will turn up to watch these beautifully drawn animated worlds brought to life. As long as Studio Ghibli and Pixar are open for business, it will be worth our effort and money every time.
There are no greater magicians in the modern age than the storytellers of Pixar, but they should not carry it alone. No-one at Pixar would claim that digital animation is the only way. They all fell in love with hand-drawn and stop motion work as children, and those mediums deserve their place still. They too can delight the child.
The formula for Disney used to be so simple: take one porn-star proportioned, doe-eyed virgin on the brink of adulthood, screw on a magical affliction, support on brackets of dysfunctional and/or single parent family, furnish with evil hags and dashing Princes heavy on bravery and light on personality, decorate with singing balls of fluff. It was like the IKEA of children's films: bright, simple, and formulaic. But feminism and animation went and ruined it all- society grew tired of damsels in distress- the 50s housewife that Disney princesses were undoubtedly modelled on seemed ridiculously outdated, insulting even. Disney's unruly child, Pixar, introduced the world to boys toys and morals for a modern audience in Toy Story, out-stripping it's parent so quickly that less than 20 years on, it's practically gobbled all of Disney up.
