Written by Dylan Callaghan
(June 21, 2013)
If, as was famously written in the '80s "pop will eat itself," history on TV also appears to be having quite a feast. This has become the era of Historical Drama on American television and British scribe Michael Hirst is the affable, unassuming man behind the curtain pulling the levers. Having brought to life the lustily massive series The Tudors and Camelot, he has now moved to History for his latest hit, Vikings – the saga of one of Western civilization's most important and least understood people.
Given the sweeping popularity of this genre, you'd think the former London School of Economics and Oxford grad had some kind of grand plan for his success, but nothing would be further from the truth.
Much like how he writes, Hirst has let life come to him in its unknowable, magical way. In fact, he's where he is today because of a single evening of martinis in 1979 that changed his life forever. He was in his early 30s with a doctorate in American literature, planning a life as an academic, when director Nicolas Roeg, whose hipster masterpieces include the 1970 Mick Jagger vehicle Performance and The Man Who Fell to Earth with David Bowie, changed his life.
"Nick read some of my short stories, which he liked, and he invited me to his apartment in London, and he got me rather drunk," recalls Hirst. "He was saying things like, 'What is it you really want in life?' And I had no idea… We talked and talked, and I felt that my whole life up to this point has been shallow and rather not truthful, that I'd just followed the line of least resistance. I'd never done anything that really meant anything. By the end he said, "Okay, I want to work with you. I know you must be clever because you've been to Oxford, but I'm not interested in your cleverness, that's just information. I just need to know if there's anything you have to say or is there anything interesting about you.'"
At four in the morning, when the two finally parted ways, Hirst says he "knew my life had changed. I gave up academia and wrote something for him… So in fact I'm still the same person I was on that night that left his apartment, but I'm just slightly better at what I do."
Hirst spoke with the Writers Guild of America, West Web site about how he's merged his love for letters and history with his love for writing drama and why, because most of their history was written by anti-pagan Christian monks, the Vikings are so deeply misunderstood.
Can you to narrow down to a single element what is most excitingly different for you about working with this material, the Vikings, versus for example, Henry VIII?
The huge difference is that this is about stories and Henry VIII is about information in the sense that you can read any number of books about Henry VIII and his court, you can read any number of transcripts of things that were actually said, you can retrieve all this endless material – but here, this is the Dark Ages. The Vikings themselves never wrote anything down. They had an oral history, they told stories, they told sagas so this is more than ever like about being a storyteller.
You've mentioned in previous interviews that what history exists was written by fairly anti-pagan, anti-Viking Christian monks. Have you developed some sort of built-in way to re-center the perspective of the Vikings?
Yes. Because I wanted to tell the story from the Viking point of view I obviously had to find ways of making them more than their traditional cliché. Because the Vikings are always "the other," they're always the guys who come and knock your door down and rape and pillage.
So, for a start, I had to find interesting, complex things about their culture, and we can find enough of that out. We have the Sagas which tell some of the stories, but there's other information we have about, for example, how much more democratic they were as a society than the French or the English, how their attitude toward women was much more emancipated, that women could divorce their husbands. They could rule, they could fight, as they did in the Shield Wars, they could own property. They had this amazing technology for building boats and navigating. So part of the whole effort of this thing is to redeem the Vikings from the kind of lazy prejudices that were encouraged by the Christian monks who, after all, had an axe to grind, which is a bad metaphor, but...
Yeah, nice one. I mean the Christian view of the Vikings was in many ways propaganda.
Yes, it was propaganda. That's not to say, of course, that the Vikings weren't extraordinary warriors, because they were, but their reputation for shock and awe kind of started in the west when they first attacked the Lindisfarne Monastery and news of the brutality of the attack went around the western world and shocked many people in the western world. It didn't do them any harm to develop a reputation for shock and awe so that their very presence intimidated the Saxons or the French. And of course they were extraordinarily daring. I mean they attacked Paris and Ragnar took a piece of one of the gates of Paris back to Scandinavia to show that he'd done that. They were formidable warriors, but their culture, their gods, everything else about them was deliberately suppressed by the monks and by the Scandinavian Christians when, of course, after 400 years or so all the Scandinavian countries became Christian, and they pulled down the pagan temples. They made every effort to destroy any evidence of pagan life and beliefs.
And to relegate it to this dark, purely black chapter.
Yes, yes. And we've inherited, as you say, a lot of those attitudes. We have a kind of internal horror of paganism. We associate paganism with terrible things. I find the pagan gods fascinating, wonderful and rich. When you study them, you see some interesting parallels and crossovers. Odin, for example, was the father god – the Father of fathers. He was not only the God of Fallen Warriors, he was also the God of Curiosity – he sacrificed an eye to look into the Well of Knowledge. But he also wanted to know what it would be like to die, so he hanged himself from the World Tree, and while he was hanging from the tree [he was] stabbed him in the side with a spear. I don't know about you but I'd kind of heard that story before.
Do you find a lot of these parallels where the Sagas, the mythology have been grafted into biblical stuff or certainly non-pagan Judeo-Christian…?
Yes, you can… you know, and Thursday is Thor's Day and Friday is Freya's Day. You know, it's there in our days of the week. We still have pagan festivals... So there is this crossover. However, going back to the first point I made, if you read the Sagas they are really weird stories. I mean their gods are up to many strange, crazy things, and their relationship to the gods is very different from the Christian relationship to God and Christ. It's a much more active relationship, their gods were much more present.
They walked on Earth, they walked among them?
You mentioned in an interview you did with us about The Tudors, that when you were doing that show, you were trying to develop ways of sticking as close to the history while making it entertaining for a TV audience.
Have you gotten that down to a science and would you say now that you're on History, are you able to get more historical detail in now?
I'm still doing essentially what I was trying to do then, which is to connect the past to the present and to make the past resonate with contemporary audiences and meaningful to contemporary audiences. So in the same way that I guess at its heart The Tudors was about love in its many forms, there's a sense in which Vikings is a family saga – it's about a guy and his wife and his children and how he gets on in the world, and it's all based on what we know of these characters, about Ragnar.
Nevertheless there's a kind of determined attempt on my part not to make the past a foreign country, you know? Somewhere where they were completely unrecognizable as human beings. Despite all the clichés, the Vikings were human beings, they loved their wives and kids. It's a kind of false dichotomy to say that it's either more or less historical because you can't see drama in that way, in a sense. All I would ever say is, it's not a documentary. It's only applicable if I'd said I was writing documentaries and then people could say, "Well, do we really know this or are you guessing or are you speculating?"
All I'm saying is everything I write is absolutely rooted in research, it's based in history, it has some historical claim to authenticity, but it's a story, it's a drama, it developed out of my reading and out of my research. It's just I'm doing the same thing, I'm trying to make the past live in the present.
And to be clear, you are still writing everything yourself as you did on The Tudors?
Which is so unusual.
Yes, I understand that it is. I mean I don't know any other way of doing it, and I suppose I'm very bad at delegating.
Right, or just opening up the process…
Yeah, because the process is also quite a mystery to me. I kind of know what I'm doing and I know how I begin, but halfway through writing an episode something will occur to me. I'll dredge up some memory of something or something will occur to me that I never, ever thought of, and this thing that occurs to me will often shape the next two episodes or give birth to another character. So how could I explain that process to anyone else? And I'm not working from a text, you know… this isn't Game of Thrones. It's not based on books. You can't just point to the book and say, "That's the next part."
So is there kind of an unknowable fragility or nebulousness to the process for you?
That's right. The poet Dryden said that the art of creativity is thoughts and ideas that are tumbling over each other in the darkness, and that's the way I like to start when I'm doing my research and thinking about possible storylines and things. I just let all these things tumble around and try and find a shape inside them.
But then you get more disciplined, of course you've got to turn out episodes, and you're working with production, you're working with actors, you're working with directors, but there's still a part of the process that I keep open, and it isn't closed almost 'til the last moment. It isn't closed until they actually have to grab the scene, that something might happen or someone might say something or I might re-read something in one of my books and go, "You know what? I missed this. I missed this storyline. I missed this idea and it's crucial." So it's difficult for me to delegate in those kinds of circumstances.

I recently switched to an android phone, which is the first smart phone I have. There is an IM app I must use for daily life, but it got too much i/o which laaaaaaaaaags my entire phone. Basically it writes too many temporary/cache files (image received) into my phone too often.
Then I remind I've been using some program called "Ramdisk" on my Windows Laptop to deal with this problem, I know there's something similar called "tmpfs" for Linux, since Android is based on Linux, can I get tmpfs on my phone and link the cache directory to it? My phone has 2GB RAM, which usually still has 800MB free during heavy usage. I'm thinking take about 200MB~300MB of RAM to use for those annoying cache. So the question is:
- If all of this is possible, do you think this will solve my problem? (My phone is a quad core phone, doesn't support SD cards. I think the I/O is the cause of lag, or am I wrong?)
- Can I get tmpfs on my android phone? (Running stock rom "MIUI V5" based on Android 4.1.1, rooted)
- Once I get tmpfs done, how can I link those cache directory to it?
- What do I need and how can I get it done? (I don't have busybox installed and I've no idea how to install it.)
Thanks in advance.

You have reached the website of the Embedded Sensing Systems group, an independent junior research group funded by the Emmy Noether programme of the German Research Foundation (DFG), and part of the Department of Computer Science at the Technische Universität Darmstadt in Germany.
Our research targets the novel designs of small computing systems that are equipped with basic processing and sensing modules, thus enabling them to detect, monitor, and learn phenomena around them. We are particularly interested in obtaining multiple simple and/or challenging sensor signals within low-power devices, rather than bulky solutions that tend to be expensive, complex, and fragile. The focus lies especially in the algorithms and software models that we build on these small embedded systems to process and characterize the sensors' output, though we also build our custom sensor hardware.
We aim to evaluate our systems in real-world trials, rather than to stop at prototypes in simulation or lab tests. For this, we collaborate with other researchers (for instance psychiatrists, sleep researchers, or sports coaches).

The Glass Menagerie
by Tennessee Williams
The Glass Menagerie Marriage Quotes
How we cite our quotes: Citations follow this format: (Scene.Line). Every time a character talks counts as one line, even if what they say turns into a big long monologue.
Quote #10
"After the fiasco at Rubicam's Business college, the idea of getting a gentlemen caller for Laura began to play a more important part in mother's calculations. It became an obsession. Like some archetype of the universal unconscious, the image of the gentleman caller haunted our small apartment…" (3.1, Tom).
Just as Tom pursues escape, an ultimately unobtainable goal, so Amanda pursues what is eventually unobtainable as well: a husband for Laura.
Quote #11
Now we see Amanda; her hair is in metal curlers and she is wearing a very old bathrobe, much too large for her slight figure, a relic of the faithless Mr. Wingfield. (Scene Three, stage directions).
Amanda's failed marriage is ever-present throughout the play, adding to her desperation to find a husband for Laura.

Today's post is a follow-up to the post Darla wrote a few weeks ago titled "To Fix Problems, Stop Admiring Them." As always, she comes through with some spot-on insight and strategies for changing our thinking.
In a recent blog, we talked about how we are quite accomplished at talking about and bonding with others about problems and, yes, dramatically complaining about our problems to willing listeners. Problem focus just might be the lowest common denominator of communication and certainly plays key role in how we manage emotional eating.
Today I want to talk more about how to move away from admiring problems with the creative process of reframing. Reframes allow us to move from a place of external locus of control (i.e., it just happens to me) to internal locus of control (i.e., I 'm in charge of my thoughts and behaviors).
Creatively reframing our self-talk
Consider this well-practiced and familiar external locus of control way of thinking.
My problem is:
- Everyone takes advantage of me.
- People offer me sweets when they know I'm trying to avoid them.
- My problem is: My SO brings food into the house that I can't resist.
Or how about this twist — external locus of control thoughts about the things people around you don't do but you think they should do?
My problem is:
- No one asks me my preferences.
- My SO is unconcerned about my feelings.
- No one at work asks me to join them for lunch.
Fill in the sentences with your own familiar self-talk to quickly see how miserable you can make yourself feel. Writing them down can help you see what you might habitually be thinking below your level of awareness. These thoughts run along well-grooved neural pathways without conscious effort. Reframing helps you put up road blocks to interrupt external locus of control self-talk and move towards internal locus of control empowered self-talk.
Reframing with Personal Empowerment We frame our problems with words. So let's choose to frame them with personal empowerment words using internal locus of control.
My problem is: Everyone takes advantage of me.
My reframe is:
- I keep saying yes when I need to say no.
- I give people the impression that I'm okay with their requests.
- I let other people decide for me rather than making a decision myself.
My problem is: People offer me sweets when they know I'm trying to avoid them.
My reframe is:
- I expect others to help me control my behavior.
- I've taught others that I'll accept what they offer me.
- I expect others to change so that I don't have to.
Important: Our reframes need to feel just right to us – like taking off an uncomfortable pair of shoes and slipping into a pair of cozy slippers. The key to effective reframes is to find, well, the key to opening a door for problem solving instead of taking the easy way out and blaming others for our dissatisfaction. So, these need to be "I" statements. When we've got a problem, we're part of the solution. Entertain your mind by the challenge of finding language that puts you in the driver's seat to help you achieve your goals, whether they be getting your dream job or managing binge eating.
Got a problem? Let's hear it and then see the reframe.

Five days following the Saturday night shooting death of a local restaurant owner little information has been released to the public regarding the incident. Michael Washington, 40, owner of Burger World and More was shot to death in an apparent attempted robbery at the business. Phillips County Coroner Earnest Larry confirmed that Washington was shot 8 or 9 times. Washington had been in business at the corner of Missouri and Columbia streets location for a number of years. He was well known and respected in that area of the community. He was known throughout Helena-West Helena for providing annual Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners to the needy. The case is still under investigation by the Helena-West Helena Police Department. There are reports circulating that local law enforcement officials are questioning two persons of interest. Numerous attempts by The Helena World to obtain additional facts about the shooting incident from H-WHPD were unsuccessful.

OMAHA, Neb. – The rains came, lightning hit and then Eric Verso thundered home the game winner in the 95th minute to send Stanford back to The Farm with a 2-1 victory over Omaha at Caniglia Field late Sunday night.
The match start was moved up one hour, to 6 p.m. CT, early Sunday morning in the hopes of avoiding projected storms rolling through Eastern Nebraska. The forecast was correct, but the adjusted scheduled proved unable to save the sides from an extended delay. Following a little over 12 minutes of action, the two teams were forced to restlessly wait for three hours as strong storms pummeled the region. It was nearly 9:20 p.m. local time before play resumed and after 11 p.m. when Verso netted his timely tally.
With Stanford (1-1-0) displaying a good bit of possession, Alex Ainscough started the decisive run when he played the ball through to Zach Batteer. The senior forward managed to get off a good cross to Bobby Edwards, who unleashed a strike on goal that was saved by Omaha (0-2-0) keeper Josh Christiensen. Verso was first to respond to the rebound and smashed the ball into the roof of the net from close range.
"We had a great mentality tonight," Stanford head coach Jeremy Gunn said. "I think everybody took care of their jobs and put in a solid performance. With the delay and the downpour there were difficult conditions all throughout the weekend and we responded well."
2 and a half hour tornado/storm delay in Omaha can't stop @StanfordMSoccer and @EricVerso from keeping undefeated in OT for the past 2 years— Trevor Hyman (@trevorhyman8) September 1, 2014
The Cardinal was dominant throughout the first half, firing off seven shots to Omaha's two and earning five corners to the Mavericks' one. Stanford's relentless pressure paid off in the 41st minute, when redshirt senior Bobby Edwards registered his first career goal off an early cross to put his team on top, 1-0.
Verso and Batteer combined to set up Edwards for his mark. Sunday marked Verso's first three-point affair since scoring and assisting in a 6-1 Cardinal victory at Cal on Nov. 9, 2012.
"We started the game in great style," Gunn added. "I thought we were very sharp and were in a good groove when the delay came. It's tough being cooped up, having to wait and then wait again, but we came back out and definitely deserved to take the lead."
Omaha was able to reassert itself a bit in the second half, putting a bit more pressure on sophomore keeper Andrew Epstein, who earned his first career victory on Sunday. In the 68th minute, Logan Mendez took a pass from Jake McCain and deposited the ball in the bottom right corner to knot things up, 1-1, providing a platform for Verso's heroics.
Stanford has not lost an overtime game since Nov. 1, 2012 at UCLA (2-1, 2OT), a streak that has now reached nine. The Cardinal is 5-0-4 in such contests over that span.
"We were pressing to go 2-0 up and would have been more comfortable, but didn't quite get that lead," Gunn added. "After dominance in the first half, Omaha managed to have some counters in the second and got back into the game. Then it's game on. It was a gut check for the team and they responded well."
Stanford returns home for a run of five straight at Laird Q. Cagan Stadium to close out the non-conference portion of its schedule. It will be a welcome change following an intense weekend of weather in the Midwest. The forecast for Saturday's 7 p.m. start against San Jose State calls for clear skies and temperatures in the mid-60s.
"We played in two great soccer environments this weekend and have to give wonderful credit to the UNO athletic department for creating and maintaining a first-rate soccer facility," said Gunn. "With the amount of rain there has been over the few days, most facilities would have been struggling to even host a game, but the staff here was fantastic."

My pain is sever all over and I take Lyrica and Morphine for my pinched nerve. Anyone have ideas on coping with the pain/limatations with fm. I was diagnosed 7months ago but its recently got bad for me. Unfortunatly I am stuck working full time doing lots of physical and mental abuse on the body. I would love a fm buddy.

I work full time too. I can't take Lyrica, I take Cymbalta, it works well for me. I also take Ultram and Nucynta for the pain. I manage it pretty well. Luckily, I am blessed with a wonderful job, one I love going to, otherwise I don't think I could work full time, the pain and depression would get me down. I'd be happy to be your fm buddy. Just joined the network, but have been diagnosed for over 6 years. Been through plenty of ups and downs. Am doing good at the moment. . . .

and depression makes it very hard to get through each day.

I just posted comments in the chat about natural pain relief for fibromyalgia. I saw this chat and so I thought I would chime in here too. I can so relate your comments about pain. I had to resort to use only natural alternatives for my fibro. My body just won't take those prescription meds. I tried them all. A fibro friend of mine told me about some all natural supplements that have changed both her and my life. I was skeptical, but holy cow, I am glad I tried them. I have been on them for a few months now and I just keep getting better each week. It is a package of three bottles that you take, called Fibromyalgia Natural Relief. My brain fog has lifted, pain is probably 80% better and my energy level has improved a lot. I still get tired every now and then, but I combine the supplements with massage and that helps. I wasn't sleeping much, but with these new supplements, I sleep most nights. The test for me was if I had side effects, and I didn't. I even emailed the doctor listed on the website, Dr. Mayfield, and she was really helpful in answering questions. For more info, check out: andfibromyalgia.com They also offer emotional support sessions. I am signed up to take those too. Lord knows I need the emotional support. Anyway, just wanted to share what has worked great for me and my other fibro friend.

My name is Liz, Mom, wifey and many others that I just cant think of right now. I am a person first and formost and the diseases have to come second..they have to. I can rattle off a list of them misdiagnosis of RA (took plenty of nasty drugs for that one :-)), Scoliosis, FM, PolyMyalgiaRheumatica, Polycystic Ovarian Syndrom, IBS, migrains (2 types), bruxism and there is more and more. I saw a couselor for over a year and it made a world of difference for me. PTSD is what threw everything into overdrive for me. The scientists seem to believe that we have this fm in our bodies and that it lies dormant until something startles or hotwires it. Mine was a poor childhood/orphan/abuse and so on. We still have choices. My pain does disable me and no I cant smile through it all the time that is for sure. I can however choose not to let it win in the end. This is a huge relief to know other people feel what I feel. That it is not all in my head. I had explained to my husband that the reason why I liked my tatoos are because I know that the pain is real and quantified. So many of you spoke of being alone, solitary. I am alone even when I am surrounded by people because I feel so different from them. I am not the same. Thank you for allowing me to feel like I fit somewhere, you have no idea what that means to me.

I have found some success with tramadol for pain and neurontin. I also have been doing an 8 wk OT therapy program which I enjoy. My question for everyone out there…has anyone had experience or heard anything about the Mirena IUD being blamed for FM symptoms? My sister heard about it causing some issues of other kinds and along the lines of FM & pointed me in the direction of some internet reports. Just looking for more info. I have one & want to know if my FM could be blamed on it.

As I sat here reading all you have typed I started to cry. I am
a strong person and my Dr at the time seen this. He had me start a
support group where I lived and I seen how much it helped us all to
be with others who suffer as we do. I am alone now in a different
state and have no support. I do have people around that know I am
in pain but just truly don't understand it all. I am here, heart
and soul for anyone who wants to talk. I have had fibro since I got
hurt in 1995, and was finally told it was Fibro in 1999. I'm 46 and
going through a rough patch right now. I have been on many drugs in
my past to help: ultram, Nuerontin, Topamax, oxicontin, Effexor,
Vicodin and some others. Ultram started to give me headaches after
about 6 years. Nuerontin, just made me fat. Topamax took away my
taste buds. and well we all know about oxicontin, but i'm not on
that anymore. (the only one that truly took the pain away) I still
take my Vicodin and needed to clean my system of the effexor or it
stops working as well. I need to get back on it soon. The pain is
just too much right now and can't take it anymore.

My name is Taffy. I have been a nurse for 30 years, and have been unable to work for 2 years. A couple of months ago I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia. I was already taking Lyrica, but the specialist I was sent to recommends Cymbalta in addition to Lyrica. I really haven't been on it long enough to say for sure that it has helped the pain much, but I am sleeping better, and have a more positive outlook. Sometimes ice packs, heat, then ice packs again help. Biofreeze ointment (which you can only get at a chiropractor's office) on my back is much better than bengay. A nice home remedy is to take a hot bath with lavender scented bath oil or salts help. A small dog by my side, and a purring kitten on my lap as I watch an old movie (a comedy, or one with a happy ending) can releive some of the stress. I pray you find relief for the pain. I was told by my Dr. that I would have good days and bad days, like a roller coaster. I was never a big fan of roller coasters, and on bad days I still question, "Why me?", on those days I just pray. You are the first person I have written to on Care page. I hope you will consider me a friend. God bless you, Taffy

Hi everyone, I am a 24 yo mother and wife living with fibro. I take lortabs and amitryptiline. I tried savella and it made me crazy. I don't have insurance ans lyrica is to expensive. I'm already paying out of pocket to see my doctor and for my other meds. I was told by a nurse in my docs office to apply for SSI, because I haven't worked to get SSD. So I applied and was denied, I'm looking for a lawyer now to appeal. Does anyone know what I have to do to get approved???

hi. i'm amanda and have had fibro for 8 yrs now. I take handfuls of meds both day and night including cymbalta and abilify. tha abilify does good with the depression and also adds energy. for those tat can't sleep, ask your docs about trazodone. a wonder drug. I also suffer from severe hip pain and hold a full time job where i am on my feet for eight hours a day. I am just glad to know that there are others out there. my other half doesn't understand all that goes on with me most of the time.

I've had fibromyalgia and all of the ugly symptoms that are associated for 4 years. I take pain medication, but we have no insurance so I must ask the doctor for the cheapest possible medication. My son became disabled in the Iraqi war at the age of 22, my husband was laid off from a job he thought he would retire from and I was in a major auto accident all in the same time period. My body couldn't handle the physical or emotional stress. I haven't reached out to anyone, so that's what I'm doing now. I'm unable to stand on my feet or legs because the pain is so overwhelming most days. I just need to hear about inexpensive pain relief. I can only sleep for 3 hours at a time because the pain wakes me up and I'm tired all the time. My neck, back and arms ache beyond my ability to endure. Anyone out there?

Hi. I don't know you but I know your story. I get sad when I hear of one more person in pain. I don't have any answers as my pain just started out of the blue 6 months ago. I work full time and my hands and legs hurt at an unbearable level all the time. There have been times that I cannot walk or write my name. I still cannot hold a glass or cut meat and I have good days and really bad ones. I am on fentinel patches and gabapentin but they don't seem to work. I take ambiance so I can sleep through the pain. I am so sorry to hear you don't have insurance. I don't know what I'd do without mine.

I have Fibromyalgia and been dealing with it for 7 years
however, did not know until a year and a half ago what I had. I
have gone to my primary physician, rhumatologist, chiropractor,
neurologist, and the list goes on. All they have done is put me on
Cymbalta, Lyrica, Ambien and an anti-inflamatory. All of these made
me feel worse.

NEWARK, N.J. -- Scott Clemmensen said he's ready and excited to get the start in the Panthers' net Tuesday as they try to close out the Devils in Game 6 at Prudential Center.
"It's an opportunity to get re-engaged in the series, to contribute to the team," Clemmensen said. "I'm going to be ready and do everything I can to get the win."
However, Panthers coach Kevin Dineen wouldn't rule out the possibility that Jose Theodore could still play despite missing the morning skate with an undisclosed injury. Jacob Markstrom was called up from the American Hockey League and was the second goalie on the ice Tuesday morning.
"We decided to give Theo the morning off and see where he's at tonight," Dineen said. "He's a little bit tender right now so we'll evaluate as the day moves on see if he's ready to play tonight or not. We'll always try to lean toward the side of precaution if there is something that somebody is a little bit tender with. We felt we needed an extra backup and that's why you see Jake out there."

"Egypt is the central nervous system of the dance," says Liza Laziza, my instructor. She is Iranian and has lived in Cairo for seven years, led by an overwhelming passion for belly dancing that first struck her in London, when she was a young legal assistant.
It's not unusual to find a foreigner keeping this art form alive: A growing cultural conservatism has led many Egyptian belly dancers to retire. Meanwhile, Liza says, in the rest of the world, interest has grown. She counts Japanese, Dutch, and South African women among her pupils; she also hosts a weekly show devoted to the dance on an Egyptian subscription cable channel.
A beginner must start out simply. The first thing I learn is that my shimmy is coming from the wrong place.
"It's with the knees, not with the hips," Liza says, demonstrating how a quick pulling back of the right knee sends her right hip bone into a movement of punctuation.
She stands behind me and makes a tuk-tuk noise to remind me to move my knees, not my hips. She ties a scarf festooned with coins around my hips, the jingling sound tracking my steps. She traces the moves for me, adding to my dance vocabulary — the figure eight, the shoulder shimmy, the hip drop. An hour later, I'm still trying to roll my hips in a figure eight when my lower back adds its own accent move. Ping! I can feel the muscles snapping, a familiar twinge that has invaded my workouts before, and with that my lesson is over.
I wonder how Liza has managed these moves for so long. She gives her age as 40 and says, "As I grow older, the dance in me gets better and better. I feel like I'm in my element."
The Timeless Tourist
A day or so later, the element I'm most worried about is fire, specifically the belching flames that are powering the hot-air balloon carrying a dozen of us over Luxor, what was the site of ancient Thebes.
We are 2,000 feet in the dawn air and climbing. Every now and then, a loud whoosh from the bellows signals the advent of a blast of air so hot that we cower on the floor. But then the wind picks up, our flight straightens out, and we cautiously put our heads back up.
The sun is a yellow disc rising in a red and pink sky, and we float over a vista that I imagine looks much as it must have millennia ago. The land closest to the Nile is checkered green and yellow, dotted with clusters of palm trees. Boys chase sheep and goats across a field.
And then, with a breathtaking abruptness, the desert reclaims its hold on the landscape, the green suddenly replaced by ocher; another kind of beauty emerges: fissures and patterns etched in the sand by the wind. In the distance rise the broad beige strokes of the Theban mountains. We pass over a portion of the ruins of the Ramesseum, the temple erected by Ramses II. It is this colossus that inspired the Romantic poet Percy Bysshe Shelley to write "Ozymandias," his sonnet to power long forgotten.
Shelley wasn't the only 19th-century notable to follow the same itinerary I have. Mark Twain, Florence Nightingale, and Gustave Flaubert were among the travelers who flocked to see the wonders that were being unearthed in Egypt in their time. It's easy to seamlessly slip into a daydream in which I am one of their troupe. Like many of those people, I have now climbed down into the tombs in the Valley of the Kings, crisscrossed the souks of Cairo and Aswan, and walked through the temples of Luxor and Karnak. And like them, I find myself increasingly inured to the constant demands for baksheesh, the small tip for any service, and the hectoring cries of men desperate to sell the scarves, the scarabs, the papyrus goods in their arms.
Both Nightingale and Twain complained about the never-ceasing crowds of souvenir hawkers. I think of them both when I make my pilgrimage to the Sphinx one morning, struck by the familiarity of the image — who hasn't seen a picture of the Sphinx? — and the piercing cry of the vendor nearest me, pushing his bottles of soft drinks: "Ice! Ice! Ice! Cold Fanta! Cold Fanta!"
It is like standing in front of the Mona Lisa and discovering a baseball-game peanut seller at your elbow. But nothing, really, can dim the serene beauty of the Sphinx; I feel both recognition and a sense of peace.
"Oh," I say, "there you are."

We are once again eating a lot of chicken. The chicken we can buy here in Thailand is fair quality, as is the pork, but I can't say as much for other proteins. Anyway, it's not hard to fall into some sort of chicken breast rut.
Todays's remedy for the chicken breast blues: a homemade sauce made from chopped dried cranberries, some diced onions, a little celery, and about a 1/2 of cabernet sauvignon. The cabernet was actually my third choice, but my pantry was out of chicken stock (first choice), and we don't have any white wine hanging around (second choice).
Unrelated observation: I have been enjoying grocery shopping for the last six weeks at least 2/3 of the people I am competing with for Cheerios, turkey deli meat, etc. were on vacation. They're back now. Ugh! I will have to start hoarding food again!

It is creepy enough for some people to go to the dentist. Some dental offices are actually haunted. Here are seven haunted locations in the United States that have dental connections:
1. One of the most famous is Dr. Grime's dental practice in Huntington, Virginia. A TV show called The Dead Files even filmed an episode there. Patients, the dentist and other staff have seen young female the ghost in the office.
2. The ghost of a dead dentist supposedly haunts an office at 1420 King Street in Hampton, Virginia. It even garnered a listing in Haunted Places: The National Directory by Dennis William Hauck.
3. There is a candy shop in Independence, Missouri that used to be a dental office. People are said to hear a dentist still drilling teeth there.
4. The George Eastman Dental Dispensary is said to be haunted and was investigated by a paranormal team. It is located at: 800 East Main Street, Rochester, NY 14607. They also use it as an actual haunted house during Halloween. A statement was made that many patients died there due to less than standard treatment over the years.
5. East Bend, North Carolina - Michael Renegar said one of his earliest encounters with ghosts happened at Kitchen Roselli's building. A local woman named Rosebud Garrett ran a dental practice in the upstairs office. She passed away when Renegar was 11. Sometime after his 12th birthday Renegar was riding his bicycle by the building when he looked up to the upstairs window. He saw Garrett and waved without thinking. After seeing the dead dentist in the window his interest in ghosts started. He has written three books on the topic.
6. Adamos Aldrin dentistry, 219 Division St. Pleasanton, California. A ghost has been said to bring in the mail and before the office opens and a front door creaks open and closes among other events in this older building.
7. At 714 St. Peter Street in New Orleans a dentist named Dr. Deschamps was said to have had his practice there in the 1850's. The story passed down was that Dr. Deschamps overdosed a patient on chloroform. Apparitions of both the dentist and his victim have been seen there.
A few other haunted places have had dental offices in them. They are haunted but also served as many other businesses in the same location and nothing paranormal has been attributed to a dentist or dentistry at these locations.

Alcatel's One Touch Firefox OS smartphone officially launching in Europe and Latin America this summer
Initially announced in February, and approved by the FCC earlier this month, Alcatel's One Touch Firefox OS smartphone (called One Touch Fire) is officially ready to be launched "this summer." According to a press release issued today, the handset will be available in Europe and Latin America.
There's no word on exactly what carriers will sell the One Touch Fire, but we know that Telefonica, Deutsche Telekom and Telecom Italia (among others) have announced their support for Firefox OS.
The One Touch Fire is an entry-level device, so it's going to have a low price. Its features include a 3.5 inch HVGA display, HSDPA, Wi-Fi, GPS, stereo FM radio, 3.2MP rear camera, 256MB of RAM, 1GHz single-core Qualcomm MSM7227A processor, MicroSD card support, and a 1,400 mAh battery. Three color versions will be available: orange, green, and white.
It's not clear if ZTE's first Firefox OS handset – the ZTE Open – will be released before the Alcatel One Touch Fire. In any case, both are going to be available starting the next few months.
Mozilla has developed Firefox OS for mobile devices using HTML5 "and other open Web standards." The company hopes the new platform will be a viable alternative to Android – and for the beginning it's testing the market with affordable handsets like the Alcatel One Touch Fire and ZTE Open.

Summer is almost here which means people tend to spend more time outdoors. Of course, here in Hawaii some of us spend time outdoors year around. The tropical balmy weather allows us to do that. In addition, you can surf, swim, run, hike, bike, walk, year around. However, all that fun in the sun can lead to more cuts, wounds, and insect bites. If you have diabetes, you're at a higher risk for wound and fungal infections. Unfortunately, when you live in a tropical paradise there is an increase in athlete's foot and other fungal infections. To avoid all fungal infections, keep your blood sugars in a normal range. Also, keep your feet clean and dry. Fungal infections are just a yeast overgrowth in the body. Did you know that yeasts grow rapidly in an acidic high blood sugar environment? Yes. Yeasts love sugar!
There is an antiseptic you can use, even if you have diabetes. This essential oil is called Tea Tree Oil (Melaleuca Alternifolia) Oil 100%. My favorite one is Thursday Plantation 100% Pure Australia's Original Tea Tree Oil Antiseptic. Tea tree oil is used topically to disinfect minor cuts, minor burns, scrapes, abrasions, insect bites and stings. In addition, tea tree oil is being used for athlete's foot, fungal infections, hair, and scalp problems.
It's crucial before you start using Tea Tree Oil to consult with your doctor. Also, never take it internally and keep away from your eyes, mouth, ears or other sensitive areas of the body. You must never use it around your pets as it's highly toxic to cats, dogs, and other animals. In addition, keep out of reach of children. If swallowed, get medical help or contact a Poison Control Center right away. Of course, if your condition worsens or does not improve stop use and see your doctor immediately.
This summer, make sure you have Thursday Plantation Tea Tree Oil Antiseptic in your medicine cabinet.
It's easy and free just subscribe here for my next Honolulu Diabetes Examiner Article.
Have a sweet summer!

Get your free PDF download of the scripted role-play called "Finding Jessica's jigsaw puzzle piece." Just scroll down near the end of this article for the free download link.
This is one of several perception role-plays appropriate for middle school students that teaches anti-bullying and perception and perceiving concepts.
Role-play description
What is the role-play about? You can watch the slideshow to find out. You can also read the description below.
Perception role-play description: This story is fiction, but it is based on true events. The idea for the story came from a social worker who used to live in Knoxville, Tennessee. She had clients who had to get their stomach pumped due to either accidentally or purposely taking an overdose of pills or drugs.
One of the points of the story is that if you cloud your vision or dull your senses by taking drugs or drinking alcohol, the world will lose out of all your special talents and abilities. Each of you is essential to making the world the best possible place it can be.
Please note: Due to the sensitive nature of the story, the role-play is the sequel rather than a replay of Jessica's painful experience.
The sequel role-play is called "Finding Jessica's Jigsaw Puzzle Piece." At the group counseling session conducted by a man named Stephan, Jessica and the rest of the group were most touched by these words: "You are each one jigsaw puzzle piece in a giant jigsaw puzzle. ... There is something special each one of you can do to make that jigsaw puzzle piece be complete and help the world to be a better place to live." Jessica strives to figure out what her particular jigsaw puzzle contribution to the world might be.
Role-play directions
Note to the teacher: Read the story to the class first. Due to the sensitive nature of the subject matter, this story will not be reenacted as a role-play. Instead, there is a follow-up role-play called "Finding Jessica's Jigsaw Puzzle Piece."
Here are the links to both:
- Perception Story link: Jessica's Painful Experience
- Perception Role-Play link: Finding Jessica's Jigsaw Puzzle Piece
Teacher Says or Asks: We will now act out the follow-up role-play that is a spin –off of the last story you just heard called "Jessica's Painful Experience." The spin-off role-play is called "Finding Jessica's jigsaw puzzle piece."
The role-play features two guy actors: Stephan and Discussion Leader #1.
The role-play also features three girl actors: Jessica, Jessica's Mom, and Discussion Leader #2.
All five actors have medium-size to big-size parts.
The rest of the class will take turns reading the parts of Narrator 1 and Narrator 2.
Who is interested in playing these roles? (Either pull names or accept eager student volunteers.)

A paper-saving suggestion
To save paper, you might only want to duplicate ten copies of the role-play and then have your students share the script between them. If you have an overhead projector or some way to project the role-play from the slideshow onto the wall or screen, you could save paper altogether.
For your viewing pleasure, please enjoy the video called "The Dangers of Alcohol Poisoning."

Descr."Agápe* means love in a "spiritual" sense, it's selfless; it gives and expects nothing in return, a true unconditional love.
Éros is "physical" passionate love, with sensual desires and longing, romantic, pure emotions without the balance of logic.
For me this has established itself over the years in two very distinct and different aspects of my life. Dean being my Agápe, and my random lovers being my Éros. This is about to change, or is it?.."

Verelst Garners UMass Co-Athlete Of The Week
Nov. 18, 2013
AMHERST, Mass. - Field hockey freshman midfielder Charlotte Verelst picked up UMass Co-Athlete of the Week honors on Monday afternoon. Verelst shares the weekly award with hockey's Mac Haight stopped 51 of the 61 shots he faced over the two recent contests with No. 7 Boston College, including 31 saves in Thursday's matchup.
The duo will be recognized at this week's UMass Sports Luncheon, which will be held on Wednesday, Nov. 20, from Noon to 1:15 p.m. in the Massachusetts Room of the Mullins Center. Guest speakers this week will be head coach John Micheletto and a member of the football coaching staff.
Parking is available directly West of the Mullins Center free of charge and a $13 salad-to-dessert buffet is provided for all attendees to purchase. The event is open to the public.
Verelst scored the overtime game-winner during the NCAA Tournament First Round meeting with No. 7 Virginia on Saturday, Nov. 16, as the Minutewomen defeated the Cavaliers, 4-3. Verelst used back-to-back shots in the 81st minute to end the game. The freshman from Braine l'Alleud, Belgium, dribbled into the circle and fired an attempt into the legs of a Virginia defender. After the ball kicked back to Verelst, she gathered the loose play and sent a shot high into the back-left corner to earn the game-winner, her second of the year.

PROS / CoreCommerce's security features and ease of use are higher than the standard.
CONS / It limits storage space even with its top plan.
VERDICT / Because it limits storage space, CoreCommerce is a good plan if you have a small inventory.
CoreCommerce eCommerce software is easy to use and contains excellent security features to ensure that your information is safe and that no one can steal credit card or other personal information from your site. However, this is one of the few eCommerce website hosts that limits memory space, even in its highest-tier plan. If you have a small business with limited products and no need for a lot of video, downloadable materials or high-density images, the plans should more than suffice.
This eCommerce software receives full marks for its interface. The simple-to-navigate software makes setting up and maintaining your online store hassle free. No matter what plan you select, you get access to all of the program's features. The differences lie in the size of bandwidth, storage space and products. Depending on the plan, you have a limit of 150 to unlimited products, but storage maxes out at 50 GB. While a hefty amount, if you want to load a lot of high-quality images or videos, you might want to check out other eCommerce platforms that allow unlimited storage.
CoreCommerce excels in security features. Not only does it secure your data to 256-bit SSL, which is over the standard, it offers fraud-protection and fraud-scoring capabilities. While most other eCommerce platforms offer fraud protection, only a few offer scoring, which evaluates purchasers for risks and alerts you to possible fraudulent transactions.
It offers a large feature set with tools to help you design your eCommerce website, manage your inventory, create reports and more. The administrative interface is as easy as the setup of the eCommerce website itself. CoreCommerce provides useful reports so you know exactly how your business is doing, although they are not customizable. It integrates with QuickBooks and has a mobile-responsive admin section for running your business on the go.
This eCommerce platform offers nearly all the shopping cart and marketing tools we looked for in our research. You can run affiliate programs, have reward programs for frequent buyers or loyal customers, and post daily deals. You can also have customer reviews of products and offer suggestions for upsell. Some features that set it apart from the pack include the ability to program the store in multiple languages and have a live chat to field customer questions.
Even though CoreCommerce is easy to work with, you may run into issues. If so, customer support is just a phone call, live chat or email away. There are searchable FAQs and a large number of how-to videos that walk you through the features.
CoreCommerce is a friendly and useful eCommerce platform for setting up your online store. Its multitude of features come as part of every pricing plan, and while its upper limit on storage space is smaller than many top eCommerce programs, it's still sizable. The security features are excellent. Overall, it's a strong choice for new stores and stores that don't have large data-storage needs.

spoiler:KIlling Jolee and Juhani on the Sith temple (they were good friends and traveling companions...especially jolee )
spoiler:Layeth the death on Mission by way of mindtrick was pretty nasty. O & telling Tanis<?> you were going to sip ice water while he broiled in the twin suns was pretty cruel as well
spoiler:that Selkath on Manaan offers you 500 credits if you find out what happened to his daughter and the other missing Selkath, and when you find them inside the sith base you just slaughter them all, and then return to him and tell him you have information for him, and when he asks what you've found out you say "Maybe a few credits could refresh my memory," and when he pays up you tell him that the sith was training the young Selkath in the dark side of the force and that you killed his daughter, just as you'll kill him if he tells anybody about it, then you take the 500 credits.
Or what about finding those promised land journals in the undercity and instead of giving them to Rukil selling them to Igear for a couple hundred credits so he can destroy them, that was really evil

A new advisory board to provide recommendations for developing a commercial seine fishery on the lower Columbia River will meet at 10 a.m. Thursday at the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife, 2108 Grand Blvd.
The public is invited to the session of the five-member Emerging Fishery Advisory Board.
Ron Roler, Columbia River policy coordinator, said the new board was created to help implement a portion of the Columbia River Basin Salmon Management Policy adopted by the Washington and Oregon fish and wildlife commissions in 2012.
The policy calls for the development of salmon fisheries that use alternative selective gear, such as purse seines and beach seines.
Roler said his agency will look to the advisers for recommendations on license qualifications, gear requirements and other regulatory aspects of the fishery.
Guy Norman, regional director for Southwest Washington, said new rules for seining in the Columbia likely will be presented to the Fish and Wildlife Commission in January or February after meeting with commercial fishermen and coordinating with Oregon.
Implementation of a seine fishery in 2014 is anticipated.

Media & entertainment
What does Web 2.0 mean for content production? When will mobile media become ready for the mass market? What will shape the media business in the next 5 to 10 years? Media and entertainment have never been so dynamic: With the advent of the Internet and mobile media, the industry has experienced dramatic upheaval over the last decade.
We have seen the rise of new business models and innovations, such as IP and mobile TV, online communities, portals and free newspapers. These changes are reshaping the entertainment value chain. We are also observing dramatic shifts in consumer behavior, such as an increasing demand for customization and customer empowerment.
The need for innovative business models is growing, and only those who understand how to create premium content and present unique, individualized products to both consumers and advertising clients will be able to stay in the game. CEOs ask us to jointly design strategies and align operations in order to successfully address these issues in an environment that keeps reinventing itself.

We jointly assess strengths and weaknesses, anticipate trends in consumer behavior, identify growth potential and design implementation plans. In recent years, we have assisted numerous media companies in developing strategies to increase and broaden revenue streams and prepare for tomorrow's challenges.
Operational excellence
Some media segments, however, are experiencing downturns because customers are defecting to other media and advertising spending is in steep decline. Whatever the problem, aligning operations is a key priority for all our customers.
Over the past few years, we have supported companies in all media segments to improve operational excellence. Our projects have focused on pre-press facilities, TV production units and central functions of media conglomerates. We help these companies restore their competitiveness and prepare for sustainable operational excellence – each time with a very specific and targeted approach.
