Now you can gain knowledge and insight about a drug treatment with Patient Discussions.
Here is a collection of user reviews for the medication Rebif sorted by most helpful.
I have been on Rebif for 3 years now and, when I think of the alternative, I think it has been totally worth it. I do get site reactions from time to time but they have gotten better over the years. I take all three syringes out of the fridge at the beginning of the week so they are always at the right temperature. I use the auto injector (great invention!) and I find that if I remove the syringe cap and express the air bubble, replace the cap and then put in the injector and ADJUST the depth according to the fattiness of the site, I have better results. My arms are very slim to I inject on a 2. My hip and stomach has more fat so I use a 3. I also have a hydrocortisone cream prescription that I use if I see some redness and itching at the site and it helps tremendously as does rubbing the spot thoroughly immediately after injecting. I take the shots at night and usually sleep through the flu-like symptoms. I am tired the next day but I have that anyway with the MS so I can't say for sure that the Rebif is the prime culprit. I have been paralyzed and unable to do anything for myself before and, now, I work as a first grade teacher every day and take care of my family all under my own steam. Anything I can do to keep that going is absolutely worth it!

I am a nurse and still I hate the injection of a needle into my body. Rebif, doesn't create the same site discomforts that I received with Copaxone or the side effects. I wish and pray for a cure for all MS. I hate that it's in my life.Some times I cry when I see the box in my refirgerator, then I remember Annette Funcacella, and the mom of the writer of Harry Potter novels and I thank God again and take my injection. It's not easy but I know that those ladies and so many other like them would've loved to have had Rebif, Avonex and Copaxone. I just want a cure. I'd like to run free again. I'd like not to get too hot in the summer months and have those symptoms. I pray that that day will come and come soon.
I have found that using this drug for about 1 year that it has damaged my immune system to where I find myself always getting sick.My DR. says that it isnt the MS but the rebif. So now I am at the point to where I have to decide whether its worth it. I find it difficult to hold down a job when I am always coming down with something. And that didnt even happen when the MS was at its worst for me.So my advice to those thinking about using it be careful and keep a journal loggging anything different with your overall health.
I was dx in May of 2009, and Rebif was suggested as a good choice. For the most part, I don't mind, other than sometimes disliking 3x/week injections - but if it is going to help me, it's worth it. I started with the titration pack, and after being at 44mcg for about a month, the flu like symptoms really decreased. EXCEPTION being that if I get a vaccine of any kind, and have Rebif that night, I'll throw a high fever. I have managed to wean myself completely off of taking any painkillers after my shots, as Rebif is bad for the liver, and so are painkillers. The nurses check in with me every month or so, and seemed glad to hear that I am able to do so. Unfortunately, despite what they seem to believe, there is no end to the injection site reactions. I use the autoinjector, which definitely helps (the two times I had to do without was horrible!), but that is a personal choice... some find it to be the opposite. Although they suggest using all sites, my legs react too much, and I have small arms, so I have stuck with the abdominal area. Regardless of their suggestions, there is always a red area which lasts from one to two weeks. My largest concern now is the effect on the liver. My blood tests at 3 months showed elevated AST and ALT readings, although the hospital didn't seem concerned. I am trying to eat healthier and take reasonable supplements in hopes it prevents damage, but it terrifies me that the same medicine I may need to function may indeed destroy me!

I have been on Rebif for 3 years with either no or very mild flair ups. It sure has helped me and I recommend it. One thing though is that it stings when injected it has a ph of 3.8
I was diagnosed in Aug 2005 because of a problem with my optic nerve that lasted only 2 weeks. My dr started me on Rebif right away and I have not had any relapses. However, since being on the Rebif for 4 years, my Thyroid is all messed up and I have to take daily meds. These meds have completely messed up my menstral cycle and I go for months without a period. My blood count is low and am now anemic. My hair is also falling out and I had extreme lower back pain and stiffness. So against my dr's orders, I stopped taking the shots 3 weeks ago. Already, I feel better and my mind seems clearer. My back pain is easing up and I have more energy. I can't wait to see how I feel after 6 weeks without the shots. Good luck to everyone who is on it, I know everyone has a different experience.

Show Setlist
people judge this show not on the actual merits of what was played but rather on the fact that it happened at Bonnaroo. If it had happened anywhere else, all that would be talked about was the sick Carini>Shafty>RnR. As far as the playing. listen to BG2 or ATL then get back at me as to how "bad" this show was. All i see in most reviews is "im from the northeast, the show was not in the northeast so it is bad. very bad. oh its hot. there are bands that normal people have heard of. whine, whine, bitch, bitch." yall are pathetic. still pissed about repeats, flubs and lack of flow after leg 2?

I've written a lot of posts on why CrossFit is beneficial. I try to get into the science behind high intensity exercise and demonstrate why working on maximal work capacity is healthy for you. My goal is to educate you on why to stick with the program and highlight the long term physiological improvements that CrossFit will reward you with as a fitness program. Well I thought I'd flip the switch and let you know why you NEED it. Like a crack head needs a fix, humans need high intensity activity in their life, here's why:
Fight for Flight response:
The theory states that animals (even human's – yes you're animals… all of you) react to threats with a general discharge of the sympathetic nervous system, priming the animal for fighting or fleeing. This response was later recognized as the first stage of a general adaptation syndrome that regulates stress responses among vertebrates and other organisms. While this response may save our life, it can cause us un-do stress and lead to unnecessary anxiety. A whole string of health problems are accompanied with high stress levels.
Perhaps the simplest, best way to turn down the activity of our fight or flight response is by high intensity physical exercise. Regardless of which your body decides to do during this response, the natural conclusion of fight or flight is vigorous physical activity. When we exercise, we metabolize excessive stress hormones—restoring our body and mind to a calmer, more relaxed state.
For the purpose of stress reduction and counteracting the fight or flight response, we do not need to exercise for 30 to 40 minutes. In fact a lot of research shows that regular exercise longer than 60 min can actually increase the occurrence of negative stress hormones. Any form of activity where we "work up a sweat" for five to ten minutes will effectively metabolize off—and prevent the excessive buildup of—stress hormones. Performing movements that require high power output, lots of muscle mass moving at once and at high intensity are key to getting over on your fight or flight response.
So remember, when someone asks you why you CrossFit, don't tell them that you like it. Tell them that you NEED it.
A. Snatch 4-4-4-4 (work on catching in the squat)
B. Nate - AMRAP 20 min
2 MU's
4 HSPU's
8 KB Swings (2 pd, 1.5 pd)
I actually do tell people that I love it AND NEED it, but now I have actual proof as to why.

Game of Thrones is a site for the HBO-series based on George R.R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire.
New to the series? Read our spoiler-free review of A Game of Thrones.
Read our Privacy Policy.
BBC Magazine has a new piece out focused very much on Game of Thrones and the fans it inspires. As with most mainstream media takes on these things, it focuses a fair bit on the more extreme expressions of fandom, but on the whole it covers a wide range of fan expression pretty well. The only thing it really lacks is attention to the Internet fandom and social media part of things, which has been such a big component of the show's "viral" success, we think.
The Westeros network consists of several different sites, including a forum and a wiki, for all your A Song of Ice and Fire needs.

The Old Man and the Sea
by Ernest Hemingway
The Old Man and the Sea Strength and Skill Quotes
How we cite our quotes: Citations follow this format: (Day.Paragraph). We artificially created chapters by defining "days," because there are no chapter breaks in The Old Man and the Sea. Here's how we divided up the days:
- Day 1 = the start of the book until the old man falls asleep for the night
- Day 2 = begins when the old man wakes up and goes until sunrise of the next day
- Day 3 = begins at sunrise and goes until the old man dreams about the lions
- Day 4 = begins when the old man wakes and ends when the old man gets back to his shack for the night
- Day 5 = begins with the boy seeing the old man in the morning and goes until the end of the book
Quote #28
He took all his pain and what was left of his strength and his long gone pride and he put it against the fish's agony and the fish came over onto his side and swam gently on his side, his bill almost touching the planking of the skiff and started to pass the boat, long, deep, wide, silver and barred with purple and interminable in the water. (4.64)
The old man's strength is only one of his attributes; pride and endurance are presented as equally valuable.
Quote #29
The old man dropped the line and put his foot on it and lifted the harpoon as high as he could and drove it down with all his strength, and more strength he had just summoned, into the fish's side just behind the great chest fin that rose high in the air to the altitude of the man's chest. He felt the iron go in and he leaned on it and drove it further and then pushed all his weight after it. (4.65)
The old man ultimately does prevail over the fish by the use of his strength.
Quote #30
Then the fish came alive, with his death in him, and rose high out of the water showing all his great length and width and all his power and his beauty. He seemed to hang in the air above the old man in the skiff. Then he fell into the water with a crash that sent spray over the old man and over all of the skiff. (4.66)
The magnitude of the fish's strength and size become apparent in his death.

I hadn't realized that wartime clothing design was so limited in its details. I guess every extra pleat meant more fabric consumed.
That shade of peach crepe should still be all the rage -- it's lovely!
And I like your array of necklaces, a treasure pile of color, twinkle, and texture.

UT Southwestern moving longtime director of doctors-in-training program into new position
The doctor who for 15 years led UT Southwestern Medical Center's general surgery residency program — the nation's largest — is leaving the job.
Dr. Rawson "Jim" Valentine was named in a Dallas Morning News story last month about allegations that the program's tradition of letting doctors-in-training perform surgery with little or no faculty supervision risked patient safety and in some cases led to injury at UT Southwestern's main teaching hospital, Parkland Memorial.
My colleagues and I reported on faculty meeting notes taken by a surgeon and later included in a 2007 whistleblower lawsuit that alleged lax oversight of residents, as doctors-in-training are known. According to those notes, Valentine said it was "OK for residents to make mistakes" on patients "even if they could have been avoided with better faculty supervision."
UT Southwestern spokesman Tim Doke refused to allow Valentine to be interviewed for that story. Officials praised Valentine in written statements and said his remarks had been "taken out of context." President Daniel Podolsky called him "a nationally recognized surgeon and educator."
Valentine oversaw the post-graduate training of roughly 70 residents, who are working toward board certification in their specialties. In his old job, he also held the title of the surgery department's vice chairman for education, supervising training for medical students and faculty physicians.
He starts next week as head of the vascular surgery division, where he will oversee five other faculty members. There was no word on who might replace him as residency program director.
Valentine has not yet responded to my requests for comment.
The job change was officially announced by e-mail late Tuesday — nearly five hours after I asked Doke about a comment left on our blog and another blog saying that Valentine was moving into a new role.
I asked Doke whether Valentine's job change had anything to do with our story. He responded with an e-mail saying the move was "something done in the normal course of business at UT Southwestern" and was precipitated by a colleague's retirement (more on that at the end of this post).
Doke said Valentine was getting a "significant promotion" in a division "targeted for growth." Vascular surgery, Valentine's medical specialty, is one of the smallest in the seven-division surgery department.
Valentine, Doke added, "was actively being recruited as Chair of Vascular Surgery by top 10 academic medical centers who undoubtedly hoped to lure him away after reading the disrespect with which Dr. Valentine was treated by The Dallas Morning News in its irresponsible and distorted reporting of our surgical residency program."
Parkland recently made a change of its own, as we've reported.
The hospital is paying its top lawyer, Michael Silhol, more than $330,000 to quit at a time when Parkland and UT Southwestern face a federal probe into possible Medicare and Medicaid billing fraud. One focus is whether the government was charged for services faculty physicians did not provide, including resident supervision.
Here is the entire text of UT Southwestern's e-mail announcing Valentine's job change, written by surgery department chairman Robert Rege:
September 21, 2010
To: UT Southwestern Department of Surgery Faculty
From: Robert V. Rege, MD
After a national search, the Department of Surgery is pleased to announce the appointment of Rawson James (Jim) Valentine, M.D., as the Chairman of the Division of Vascular Surgery. He will assume leadership on October 1, 2010 from G. Patrick Clagett, M.D., who announced his retirement from UT Southwestern at the end of this academic year.
Dr. Valentine received his M.D. degree from Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia, then came to UT Southwestern for his general surgery residency (1980-1985) followed by a fellowship in vascular surgery. He has been a faculty member at UT Southwestern practicing vascular surgery since 1986, ascending to Professor of Surgery with Tenure in 1999.
Dr. Valentine has held a number of significant positions in national organizations and in the Department of Surgery. But his most meaningful contribution has been as the Director of the General Surgery Residency Program. In this position, which he has held for the last 15 years, he administered the largest surgical residency program in the United States, and distinguished the program by maintaining one of the highest General Surgery Board pass rates (> 97%) in the United States. In fact, as the Vice-Chair for Education in the Department of Surgery, he supervised all education programs, including medical student education, residency training, and continuing medical education for practicing physicians in our department.
When Dr. Valentine assumes his new role, I will step in as Interim Program Director for the General Surgery Residency Program.
Dr. Valentine's expertise in surgical education was recognized by his ascension to the position of president of the Association for Program Directors in Surgery (2006). He was appointed director of both the American Board of Surgery (2008-2014) and the Vascular Surgery Board (2008-2014), and served as president of the Southern Association for Vascular Surgery (2006).
Dr. Valentine was recipient of a distinguished national medical education honor, the Parker J. Palmer Courage to Teach Award for 2009, given by the American Council for Graduate Education (ACGME).
As we thank Dr. Clagett for his many years of service to UT Southwestern, please join us in welcoming Dr. Valentine to his new leadership position. His clinical, administrative and educational experience over the past 20 years bodes well for the growth of vascular programs at UT Southwestern.

So glad Henry is feeling better!!!
That is WAY cool! We are still stuck on the "thermometer under the armpit" that we had to do when Josh was in chemo, lol!
We only have a standard digital thermometer that we've use on both our little ones, but this one sounds SO much better. It seems like it would be much more reliable than an under the arm temp.

Small-But-Beautiful Japan Funds?
Apparently, good things do come in small packages in Japan's private-equity market. Smaller buyout funds are currently in favor there, as steadier deal flow and reduced competition from strategic investors makes them more attractive compared with larger peers.
That said, not all limited partners are convinced by the smaller buyout managers, as their track records are relatively thin, putting their ability to achieve sufficient return on investments in question.
Smaller deals may be more abundant than mega buyouts, but investors say Japanese general partners still aren't quick enough in sourcing and executing deals, while companies' management teams are too influential when it comes to choosing a private equity firm as an investor.
"The most difficult part of PE business is sourcing, sourcing and sourcing," said Hironobu Nakano, senior managing director and head of Japanese private equity at Citic Capital.
Read the full story in this month's Private Equity Analyst.


text: I think the "something cheap" here is Bowie (a rich man) being humbled by the death of his special friend.Being humbled he feels that making an expensive grandiose gesture would perhaps make a false impression when what he wants is to be as honest and direct as he can in his mourning. Perhaps the picture will serve as a shrine, and Bowie wants that when he speaks to his friend his friend understands that his grieving is sincere and not for show. When poeple see the frame they will understand immediately that it is not a piece of furniture to increase the beauty of his home. Also the simplicity of a cheap frame emphasizes the importance of the picture for a wealthy man.Perhaps he knew the friend when he was poor, and in remembering those times he feels that only simplicity itself would do justice to the purity of their relationship, ie the friend was not a typical sponger interested in him only for his money, but knew and liked him when he was nothing. Perhaps the friend was a true friend, a soulmate, as opposed to being someone he knew by virtue of his status or class.Bowie is being anti-materialistic for the wealth of the friendship he has lost is far greater than material possessions.Contrary to how it seems this is a true friend he is mourning.

With the Fall Season beginning yesterday I was influenced by my mate Julia who runs SaveBigLiveBetter a Canadian Coupon Site to make apple muffins. Apples are in abundance this time of year in Ontario and there is nothing more soothing than being in the kitchen and whipping up Fall apple recipes. Julia posted a picture of her muffins and I knew I had a few apples that needed using up. Jokingly I said we should have a muffin-off as she says that my muffins look very similar to hers.
Clearly we already know who the winner in the kitchen is here ..ermmm… ok, maybe I'm tooting my baking horn..toot…toot because Julia is not here to stop me! Something tells me I'll pay for that comment for years to come. You can find all sorts of great recipes at her new blog Cooking Up Crafts.
There is something nostalgic about the Fall air and the smell of cinnamon, apples and nutmeg swimming in the air. Standing in the kitchen I can close my eyes and take a deep breath and it reminds me of when I was a child and my mother would bake on Sunday morning. We don't buy baked goods at the shop because what we do like we make at home for a fraction of the cost most times. The best part is we know the ingredients we are putting inside and can control the amount we make. This is not really a low-fat apple muffin but it has all natural ingredients from your pantry and refrigerator. It's a treat muffin that you would have once in a while and the best part is that it is homemade.
So this easy muffin recipe I created had no name as of yesterday so I took to my Facebook Fan Page and asked the fans to post a name for this recipe. I received many great names but only 1 can be the final name for this light, apple muffin. Congratulations to Michelle M Mbmg for naming in part this muffin. She came up with "Caramel Harvest Muffins" but she needed to add the word apple in so I did just that. A close second went to Jason Magee with "Creamy Carmapple Muffins" and then "Creamy Apple Caramel Harvest Muffin" was born. I used both their ideas and made one and I now have 2 winners. So they both get a hand in helping me with the title of this recipe! Thank-you to all my fans who submitted a name for this recipe.
Inside these homemade apple muffins I put a chunk of fleur del sel Caramel from France. It's a very creamy, buttery tasting caramel and melts divine. If you don't have these caramels you can easily make caramel sauce on the stove top with sugar, water and whipping cream along with a candy thermometer. Here is an easy caramel sauce recipe for you to try but I'm sure it will be just as good.
Alright…. here is the easy
- Large Muffin Tin with 6 Muffins
- Cooking spray to spray the tin
- Mixer or a bowl with a hand mixer
- Measuring cups
- Measuring spoons
- Spatula
- Knife
- Cutting Board
- Mini strainer or something to spread cinnamon evenly on top of muffins
Time: 20-25 minutes in the oven at 350 degrees
Prep-20 minutes
- 3 Gala Apples or whichever you prefer…peeled and chopped fine
- 6-12 good quality caramels with a high butter content or caramel sauce
- 2 large eggs slightly beaten
- 3 teaspoons cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- Pinch of Fleur de Sel or regular salt
- 1/2 cup of butter-melted
- 3/4 cup brown sugar packed
- 3/4 cup white granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
- 3 teaspoons of Baking Powder
- 1 cup whole wheat flour (If you do not have whole wheat you can use 3 cups white)
- 2 cups cake and pastry or all-purpose ( I used cake and pastry)
- 1 cup of Milk
Procedure: Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees
- In your stand mixer add all the dry ingredients except for 1 tablespoon of cinnamon which you will need for the top of each muffin and mix together on low just until blended
- On a chopping board peel and chop your apples fine unless you like big chunks in your muffin then leave them chunky
- In a bowl crack your eggs and slightly beat them
- Add all the wet ingredients slowly to the dry while the mixer is on low
- Mix until incorporated but don't over mix the muffin mix
- Spray your muffin tin with cooking spray
- Fill the muffin tin slots until full right to the top. I like my muffins to be big!
- Sit your caramels in the middle of each muffin and press down and cover with the muffin mix. If you use the caramel sauce you can use a piping bag, insert it into the middle of the muffin and squeeze or fill the muffin tin half way, add some sauce and then fill to the top.
- Using your mini strainer or other kitchen tool sprinkle cinnamon on the tops of each muffin
- Bake in oven for 2-25 minutes
- Insert toothpick in the centre of the muffin. If it comes out clean it will be done. Try to avoid the caramel centre and go off to the side a bit.
- Enjoy them hot and gooey or cold with a nice hot cup of coffee, tea or cocoa.

As a photographer, it always brings me great pleasure to know that the photos I take are appreciated, whether it be positive or negative, but an even greater pleasure if they are used in publication. Ever since I had my shiny camera, it brought about some wonderful opportunities and experiences, and pretty much all of it is self-taught. The GSC Manabi figure I took photos of will be used in Mondo, a Hungarian anime/manga magazine (yet to see how that one looked). Of course my photos aren't just limited to figures. Come convention time, I'm pretty trigger happy and the photos come flowing through. Some of you may remember me mentioning that I did a photo shoot for Madman Entertainment during Supanova last year, well they finally got published!
Anime Update is a mini-magazine released by Madman Entertainment bringing us some info on some of the latest Australian releases. Most of the stuff covered in this magazine are things I've already watched, but it's nice to know what the local market has to offer as it's sure cheaper than buying the Japanese DVDs. Anyway, the part I'm most interested in was this:

The photo shoot I did was of the winner of the Sunday cosplay competition, Freddy Krueger. Seriously, when I saw his costume up close, it looked so freaking awesome. Anyway I'm happy that my photos are being used somewhere and I can only hope more opportunities like this will arise. So in the meantime, I'd like to thank Slykura of Madman Entertainment for giving me the opportunity to take photos for him, and also my photographer pal Bubby for informing me about the article, as well as scanning it for me.

SHERMAN — Ben Franklin allegedly said that beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy; and, while some might argue against that quote's validity, others like Jeremy and Natalie Roberts happily take it at face value. Their pet project 903 Brewers is set to open any day now in tiny Sherman, Texas.
Nestled near the Oklahoma border, Sherman is best known as the home to both Austin College and Lake Texoma, landmarks which traditionally attract wildly different sorts. But, Jeremy and Natalie Roberts believe that they can reach both textbook-toting Austin College students and sunburned jet-skiers. The proof is in the pudding coconut.
"The biggest advantage of starting so small is that there is room to experiment," said Jeremy, who shared a sample of The Chosen One, his toasted coconut ale, on Sunday.
While connoisseurs are likely familiar with Maui Brewing Company's Coconut Porter -- which can be found around town, often in cans, at beer-heavy hot-spots like theMeddlesome Moth -- North Texas simply isn't prepared for the flavor behind Roberts' ale. It's pale and effervescent, an ideal session beer for the coming summer, but what it might lack in color, it makes up for hand-over-fist in flavor. The first sip goes down with little fanfare before the toasted coconut flavor bucks across your tongue, kicking up a storm.
"I didn't know that I liked beer until I started drinking craft beer," Natalie said. "We think there would be a real interest if people out here were exposed to it."
Jeremy agreed, "We've intentionally made this one milder on the front end because we think the Bud Light drinkers will be willing to try it. And, they'll be like us and never go back."
Slated to open in early May -- TABC regulations and permitting has slowed down a projected April opening -- 903 plans to roll out The Chosen One and Roo's Red Ale, named in honor of Austin College, right off the bat with a rainbow of flavors and styles to follow quickly. Jeremy has already experimented with a brown sugar IPA called Sugar On Top set to drop on August 2, National IPA Day. Jeremy said that a Whole Foods rep is after his Grandma's Sweet Pecan Porter, but that recipe, as well as 903's Coffee Ale, Pumpkin Spice Ale, and Whopper Stout -- made from dropping actual Whopper's candies in the tank -- still await mass production.
903 Brewers have both a traditional pint glass and a wide "can style" glass with a lip. Jeremy said it is a nod to their hope to can and distribute widely in the future.
As for the brewery itself, the Robertses have leased a massive warehouse that they hope will serve not merely as a place to enjoy interesting beers, but also an integral part of the community. Within the coming year, they hope to invite Shermanites and beyond over for games, trivia, movie nights -- with screenings projected onto the brewery wall. They currently have 5,000 square feet for brewing and tasting rooms, with intent to expand into an additional 5,000 square feet.
While Jeremy is more interested in the brewing aspect, Natalie is passionate about design, and she plans to fill the brewery with refurbished antiques that she finds. She even created the bar from repurposed doors.
And, while 903 Brewers want to provide a place for Sherman to play, most notably, they also hope to instill a little soul support in the form of bible study.
"We couldn't have expected more support from our own church family," said Natalie. Case in point: The 903 logo, a reference to a prominent north and east Texas area code, was designed by Cristi Brinkman of Cristi Studios, whose boyfriend is a friend from Natalie's childhood church.
"We recognize that not everyone is like us, but we don't think beer is about getting drunk," Jeremy explained. "If you have too much, then you can't taste the flavor."
903 Brewers are all about complex and intentional flavor, from each hoppy sip straight down to the delicately designed space. 903 beers will be on local taps soon, and the brewery will be open for regular tastings within the next 60 days. Follow 903 Brewers on Facebook for updates.

One of the biggest problems I have with cross stitching is the amount of time it takes to complete a project. After 10 weeks of work, I managed to finally tease the Bermuda sloop out of the soft bread cloth I have been working on.
Over the past week, I have concentrated on filling in those long-standing gaps in the picture I have been creating. I worked my way through the very center of the ship, placing dark stitches to serve as the ship's many masts, and lighter ones to form the sails.
Those who have been reading along with me for the past couple of months know that somewhere along the line, I created an extra space in the first page and had to ad-lib the pattern to correct the mistake.

Photo by Gretchen Richards
As the mast finally took shape on the Bermuda sloop, and the spots were filled in on the sky, I realized that the project was going to come out looking nice despite the dark colors of the sunset reflecting through the sky and the sea below. I pushed on and completed the small page three, and was happy to find that the sloop's outline in the water will ultimately stand out nicely when the project is completed.
On the second page, I somehow managed to lose a stitch, which I did not realize until I went to put these final stitches in the center of the ship into place. Suddenly, I had two stitches both wanting to be in the same location for an entire stripe down the middle of the cross stitch. This was not a problem when I had several stitches of the same color in one area, but when a black part of the mast and a pink corner of the sail both wanted to occupy the same space, I was faced with a conundrum.
It took me hours of muttering obscenities under my breath to decide how I should go about keeping the ship's mast more or less in place while still filling out the edges of sails or the hints of sky peeking from behind the cloth. Eventually, though, these fell into place, leaving me with a the mostly finished sloop.
I filled in the other spaces I had been forced to leave behind due to missing colors as well. I moved my cross stitching ring over to the first side of the cross stitch and dealt with the hole in the sky to the left of the ship. It became a hint of pink, while the bowsprit of the sloop began to take form as a dark spot against the deep pink sea behind it.
More spots worked their way in, filling out the lower corners of the first sail finally, and adding the definition I had feared was completely lost in the pattern I had created myself.
When I was done, the only spots that still stood out as blank were those destined to be filled in by the single missing color I was still lacking.
As I was generally happy with the cross stitch, I decided that I would finish it after all. I had been debating simply abandoning the project, but had decided that this much work at least deserved to be seen through to the end of the second page.
I switched over to the third page of the design, located directly under page one, and discovered that it was only approximately twenty stitches tall. Since a regular page normally holds a hundred stitches in height, this meant that I would be able to finish it quickly.
I made fast work of the third page, finishing it in only two evenings after my usual shift at the newspaper. The sea continued its array of pinks and reds, mixed with more brown hues as it approached the bow of the sloop. The colors changed abruptly to greens and blacks as the body of the ship emerged from the water finally, giving depth to the size of the sloop overall.
Page three was mostly a series of four colors interacting, so it came together swiftly. I was careful to keep my stitches in line, and had to fake an extra stitch to make sure the boat lined up with itself in the pictures above it properly.
Satisfied with my work when page three was done, I decided to pause here for this week's column. Join me next week as I complete page four and fill in the one missing color finally, completing the cross stitch that everyone has been waiting so long to see.

When I was at the Meet The Lambies day out near Scio last weekend, I shot this photo of a nearby barn in the rain. You can see some sheep in the foreground.
Category Archives: scio
Meet the Lambies
Dave (of StaytonEvents.com) and Maryann Nielson took me along to Wolston Farms outside of nearby Scio for the annual Meet The Lambies day yesterday. They had newborn lambs, sheep, border collies, chickens, even pigeons up in the rafters of the barn, and it was all pretty awesome. It was my first time attending, and I'm glad I went.
Below are far too many photos of the various sights. Click on them to see them larger.
Scio Car Show
Reflection Of Life
Larwood Bridge
Guest photographer Tom Miller sent in these two lovely photos (click on the thumbnail at right to see the other one full size) of the Larwood Covered Bridge, which spans Crabtree Creek near Scio. Just a bit to the right of where these photos were taken is where the Roaring River flows into the creek, which is a geographical anomaly and pretty cool to see.
Thanks, Tom!
Bilyeu Creek
Guest photographer Tom Miller rocks. He's provided us with yet another beautiful image (and some facts to go with it), this time of Bilyeu Creek. His description:
Bilyeu Creek runs thru the valley in Jordan. If you're standing on the Hannah Bridge and looking downstream, that's where Bilyeu Creek dumps into Thomas Creek. One of the first sawmills built in this area, was powered by water from Bilyeu Creek.
Thanks, Tom!
Mount Pleasant
Guest photographer Tom Miller takes us back to last summer for this shot taken in the nearby Scio area. His description:
I took this foto last summer, this is just up the road from the historic Mt. Pleasant Church.
The summer before the fields were all planted with rye grass and there was close to a dozen northern harriers hunting them.
But they all left once the wheat went in.
Thanks, Tom!
Winter Wonderland
The Stayton area continues to be a icy white realm. Today's eerie but gorgeous image comes from guest photographer Jim Mullholand, and showcases the weather quite well. His description:
Temperatures in the 20's combined with persistent fog for several days has left a thick layer of frosty ice on all the trees creating a winter wonderland. This was taken on the SW side of Franklin Butte just south of Scio.
Be sure to visit Jim's web site for more of his beautiful photography. Thanks, Jim!
New Fire Station in Scio
Guest photographer Denny Barnes noticed something new and shiny in nearby Scio:
Driving through Scio a couple of days ago I see they are putting the final touches on their new fire station. Looks pretty spiffy and big enough to keep them in business for some time. Couldn't get a straight on shot because of the setting sun, too bright. One of the few times the clouds opened to let the sun through.
Be sure to click on the little thumbnail to see another view of the station. Thanks, Denny!
Smoky Sunrise
Guest photographer Jim Mullholand captured today's stunning sunrise photo. His description:
The sun rises thru a layer of smoke from the wildfires near Sisters. Taken near Scio on Hwy 226 on Monday Sept 17th
The cause of the smoke is tragic, but at least a bit of beauty could be found. Thank you, Jim.

BlackBerry Says It Is Open to Sale
BlackBerry on Monday said its board formed a special committee to look into strategic alternatives for the smartphone maker, which could include an alliance or an outright sale.
BlackBerry said the move was to "enhance value" and help further deployment of the company's latest operating system, BlackBerry 10. The announcement comes days after reports that BlackBerry's board was more open to going private in order to give it some breathing room as it figures out next steps.
Whether there is a company that would want to buy BlackBerry, which has seen its market share plunge, is the question. As Carolyn King points out in her article, BlackBerry's subscriber base is falling even in developing countries where it once had a strong foothold, as cheaper devices running Google's Android OS make strong inroads. Apple, too, is reportedly planning cheaper versions of its iPhone to target developing markets.
BlackBerry gained nearly 6% on Friday on the buyout talk and was up 1% in premarket trading before being halted ahead of then news.
BlackBerry's press release highlighted software, not any particular piece of hardware. The announcement's focus up top is on the OS, and BlackBerry also points out its "multi-platform" strategy for BlackBerry Messenger. The popular messaging service has been rolling out to Android and iPhone, though maybe a bit too late. Further down in the announcement, BlackBerry said in the meantime it would continue pushing sales of its new hardware.
Here's the article, where we'll update throughout the day, and here's the press release:
BlackBerry Limited, a world leader in the mobile communications market, today announced that the Company's Board of Directors has formed a Special Committee to explore strategic alternatives to enhance value and increase scale in order to accelerate BlackBerry 10 deployment. These alternatives could include, among others, possible joint ventures, strategic partnerships or alliances, a sale of the Company or other possible transactions.
The Special Committee of the Board is comprised of Barbara Stymiest, Thorsten Heins, Richard Lynch and Bert Nordberg, and will be chaired by Timothy Dattels.
With the announcement of the Special Committee, Prem Watsa, Chairman and CEO of Fairfax Financial informed the Company that he felt it was appropriate to resign due to potential conflicts that may arise during the process. Fairfax Financial is the largest BlackBerry shareholder. Mr. Watsa said, "I continue to be a strong supporter of the Company, the Board and Management as they move forward during this process, and Fairfax Financial has no current intention of selling its shares."
"During the past year, management and the Board have been focused on launching the BlackBerry 10 platform and BES 10, establishing a strong financial position, and evaluating the best approach to delivering long-term value for customers and shareholders," said Timothy Dattels, Chairman of BlackBerry's Special Committee of the Board. "Given the importance and strength of our technology, and the evolving industry and competitive landscape, we believe that now is the right time to explore strategic alternatives."
Thorsten Heins, President and Chief Executive Officer of BlackBerry, added, "We continue to see compelling long-term opportunities for BlackBerry 10, we have exceptional technology that customers are embracing, we have a strong balance sheet and we are pleased with the progress that has been made in our transition. As the Special Committee focuses on exploring alternatives, we will be continuing with our strategy of reducing cost, driving efficiency and accelerating the deployment of BES 10, as well as driving adoption of BlackBerry 10 smartphones, launching the multi-platform BBM social messaging service, and pursuing mobile computing opportunities by leveraging the secure and reliable BlackBerry Global Data Network."
JP Morgan Securities LLC is serving as financial advisor to BlackBerry and Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP and Torys LLP are serving as legal advisors.
There can be no assurance that this exploration process will result in any transaction. The Company does not currently intend to disclose further developments with respect to this process, unless and until its Board of Directors approves a specific transaction or otherwise concludes the review of strategic alternatives.

It looks like Ano Natsu's devious little loli Remon Yamano is going PVC courtesy of FREEing, set to arrive this June. Despite the constant stream of Ichika figures, it seems like we're finally beginning to round out the rest of the cast, which is always nice! Even though I can hardly afford to be a series completionist, it's always disappointing when you're left hanging, waiting for other cast members to show up. Dog Days.
Digression aside, Remon is one of my more enjoyed characters from Ano Natsu, and FREEing looks to have done a good job capturing her mischievous side with camera in hand for recording her little plots. I like the coloring as well, particularly the softer tone used in her hair. Get ready to drop the ¥8,381 on her so you won't be kept waiting in the summer for long!

SAN FRANCISCO: Oracle chief executive officer Larry Ellison said Hewlett-Packard's board was wrong to force the resignation of CEO Mark Hurd, comparing the move to the firing of Steve Jobs in the 1980s. In a letter to the New York Times, Mr Ellison said, "The HP board just made the worst personnel decision since the idiots on the Apple board fired Steve Jobs many years ago."
Mr Hurd left HP last week after a contractor named Jodie Fisher, who helped organise executive events, made a claim of sexual harassment against him. While the board determined that he didn't violate the harassment policy, it found that he made inaccurate expense reports and concealed a personal relationship with Ms Fisher, a former actress and reality TV contestant.

Lighting is one of the most important factors that make a lot of difference to your pictures, no matter whether you are shooting in a grand hotel or a dingy hole. While the lens plays an important role in the quality of your pictures, the right lighting with good camera flashes will go a long way in making your pictures more attractive. The model you are photographing will look more beautiful and the pictures you captured on a wedding day will be more memorable. Good lighting is especially important when you capture a picture in the following cases.
1. Fashion Photography- If you are the kind that takes pictures of beautiful women in designer clothes, there is nothing like a good flash to do justice to the model, the designer and your picture.
2. Wedding Photography- On the other hand, if you are the kind that walks into a hall of well-dressed people with a camera to capture memorable moments, you cannot do without a good flash.
3. Advertising Photography- Now, the success of a product can hugely depend on the way you choose to show it to the public, no matter whether it is an expensive electronic appliance or a simple household item.
The following are the three main types of camera flashes that you can choose from according to what suits your needs as a photographer in the best way.
1. A Hotshoe Flash- If you are looking for a flash that you can easily attach to your camera without the use of any wires, then this is the best option for you. Another great advantage of this camera flash is that it makes bouncing light onto your subject possible by letting you angle the light with ease.
2. Hammerhead- These look like a hammer over the head of your camera and hence the name. The high output of light from these camera flashes makes it a favorite among wedding photographers. These camera flashes also let you spread out the light at a good angle.
3. Macro Ringlight- The flat and even light that these camera flashes produce on the subject makes them a great option for those who like taking close ups of insects and other small objects. These flashes can easily be fit around the barrel of a camera's lens with the help of attachment threads.
No matter whether it is a hotshoe flash, a hammerhead or a macro ringlight that you are looking for, you can find a range of them on online shopping sites where you can compare the prices and features to find a camera flash that fits your budget and suits your needs best.

Cedar Plank Salmon; Johns Fish Marinade
We have two recipes this week, including Johns Salmon Marinade: a simple, tasty grilled fish tip submitted by customer John Habel, which we like very much and thought we ought to share with our readers.
Heres what John had to say about his recipe: I always enjoy your products and in the last few years I have built a small cooking file on sockeye and halibut recipes. I was recently reading a cooking article on the mechanics of making good marinades for chicken, fish, etc. This is one I tried for grilled salmon using orange and basil.
Thanks, John we appreciate your taking the time to test this creation, and your impulse to share it with your fellow grilled-fish aficionados!

Women in senior management: still not enough
Submitted by asklar on Sun, 04/08/2012 - 11:58pm
The past 12 months have seen women take the lead in some of the toughest economic and political environments: Christine Lagarde became the first female to head the International Monetary Fund, Angela Merkel, the German Chancellor, has emerged as the key figure in solving the eurozone sovereign debt crisis and Maria das Gracas Foster has taken over at Petrobras, becoming the first woman to run one of the world's top five oil companies. Women also head governments in countries such as Argentina, Australia, Brazil and Thailand.
However, the GrantThorton International Business Report 2012 survey shows that just 21% of senior management roles are held by women globally, figure which has barely moved over the past decade. Moreover, just 9% of businesses have a female CEO. This short report explores why this issue matters, the current state of play and what is being done about it.

Balsamic is best, both white and red: white is superb teamed up either with lemon juice (cuts the acid of the lemon) or rice vinegar (for a slightly sweeter salad dressing)in a basic vinaigrette; or sprinkle red balsamic over roasted veges (carrots are great!) in the last 5 minutes of their roasting - yum!Lindi - 2009-12-21 19:57:02
I really love rice wine vinegar in cooking, adds wonderful flavor. On salads it's Balsamic!Laura - 2009-12-21 12:17:30
My favorite is still just a good aged balsamic. I love to make terriyaki portabellos with it: hot skillet, add a little olive oil. Add sliced portabellos, a big splash of soy sauce, big splash of balsamic, and a Tbsp of sugar. Cook, stir sometimes until liquids are absorbed, adjust to taste.Mari Kermit-Canfield - 2009-12-20 00:19:12
oh man plain white vinegar infused with garlic and purple basil. it's so simple, SO delicious and it turns a cool red color because of the purple basil.Skipp - 2009-12-19 13:13:47

I love using rice vinegar when I cook Brussels sprouts. I simmer the sprouts in just enough veggie broth to cover them, some finely diced onion, and about tablespoon of rice vinegar for flavor. Good stuff!April - 2009-12-14 20:24:44
I love the Vinegre de Garlique garlic vinegar from the Josie Porter Farm in PA. It's fabulous on salads and for bread dipping. I even know people who just drink it straight from a glass! www.garlicvinegar.comChristy - 2009-12-14 10:55:58
Although I love and use every type of vinegar imaginable, my hands down favorite is that exquisite Japanese treasure, umeboshi vinegar, or ume-su. It's salty-sour goodness is unbeatable as a dash in soup, or a drop on rice. It is awesome in dressings, sauces, dips, even drinks. I use it every single day and never tire of it.S. Kaanoi - 2009-12-12 13:04:30
I love Seasoned Rice Vinegar: it adds a light tang to salad dressings and marinades. My husband and I try to limit or avoid using oils, and the milder flavor of this vinegar is a great way to soften its strong counterparts, like apple cider or red wine vinegar, so they don't overpower the other ingredients.Lee Browne - 2009-12-10 23:44:15
Plain White Vinegar. Good for green cleaning too!!Rosie - 2009-12-10 22:58:35
for great clean flavor throughout the house, gotta go with white vinegar (with banking soda) but if we're talking just foodwise, cider or champagne vinegars with just the hint of a kick rather than overwhelming the dish.diane - 2009-12-10 13:17:29
I add a tablespoon or two of Bragg Organic Apple Cider Vinegar to my favorite lentil soup recipe for added flavor. Delicious!Bunny Galletly - 2009-12-09 13:23:12
True Balsamic Vinegar. Went to a producer in Italy one time and it has a flavor that simply cannot be beat.Kaitlyn - 2009-12-08 17:31:06
I buy an 18 year aged balsamic vinegar of modena at my local gourmet kitchen store, Le Roux Kitchen in Portland, Maine. This vinegar is so good, my knees shake, just a little bit, each time I try it.Vincent Rubino - 2009-12-07 22:16:49

If there is a 20% deficit in this year's monsoon by July 31, it would be certain that India will have a drought.
This can be avoided only if the country gets 33% excess rain in August which makes up for the shortfall. But this is unlikely .

In the technology sector, besides the iPhone users expecting the launch of iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus, there could also be introduction of iPhone Mini. Actually, 2016 could be a year where Apple Computer Company could generate great revenues and profits suppose they launch the iPhone mini.
Actually, the current 5.5-inch and 4.7-inch iPhones have faced complaints from customers who have stated that they are a bit complicated to use. This is especially in relation to their size where they cannot fit properly either in the pocket or when held in the hand. Apparently, it has come out distinctively that the four-inch introduced earlier which were well compatible could be introduced in the latest versions yet to be introduced in the market.
Some analysts who are well acquainted to the forecasts of Apple Company state that due to the continuous demand from users, Apple Company would probably be prompted to introduce such small-sized iPhone. They further state that the introduction can take place in the first half of the year.
Currently, one will notice that the iPhone 5S which are four-inch in size were introduced in 2013. Apple Company is planning to get rid of them by 2016; this implies that there would not be any four-inch remaining in the market. Interestingly, tech analysts point out that Apple Company can make a sale of about 30 million four-inch iPhones in the situation that they introduce it.
What comes out clearly is that this small-sized iPhone that is yet to be introduced can have lesser features as compared to the current ones with the bigger display. One of the features that it could miss is 3D touch display due to its size. Other synonymous features found in iPhone are expected to be incorporated within this four-inch iPhone. This includes the iPhone operating system that is supported by the A9 chip. This would ensure that this iPhone model can undertake its operations smoothly without any malfunction.
According to the analysts, there are expectations that this iPhone mini could have a metal edge case that is sleek and smooth. This would indeed appeal well to the customers who can comfortably use them when holding them in the hand. There are predictions that the plastics cases may not be preferred as they were not satisfactory to the customers on earlier versions.
Furthermore, due to safety concerns in relation to the Apple Company's app store, there are the imminent plans to introduce safer algorithm and rebooting of different procedures on how users can locate different apps in the app store using certain keywords. This update is expected to be effective on the current versions of iPhone which can be provided with some updates. For the iPhones to be launched in 2016, such changes will have fully been incorporated.
Thus, it is anticipation for the iPhone users that the pocket- friendly, four-inch iPhone 7 mini would be launched next year. This would not only be a major boost in the technology sector but also a source of great convenience to the users of iPhone. Apple has always been known for greatest updates and upgrading of its mobile devices and through bringing this small-sized iPhone model, it would really have met the market demands in an immense way.
World's Fastest Super Computer
Japan already has the world's third fastest computer, the K' but it is not content with being third. Japan is developing a super computer that will become the fastest computer in the world, and in the category of all supercomputers. A national project called the Flagship 2020 is the banner under which Japan is developing the super computer that will blow all the others out of the water. The Flagship 2020 project aims to finish the super computer by 2020 and officially take over the mantle of the world's fastest supercomputer. Technology is clearly advancing at super sonic speed and this is one way to keep it growing even faster.
The current world's fastest computer, the Tianhe-2 is owned by china and is based in Guangzhou's National Super Computer Center. The Tianhe-2 has a speed of 33.86 petaflops which is actually twice that of the second fastest computer. This shows you just how fast the supercomputers are operating at and the Flagship 2020 aims to make the super computer experience even faster. The United States Of America aims to build a supercomputer with speeds of up to 1,000 petaflops which is around thirty times that of the current fastest supercomputer. At times it seems like it is almost an arms race to find exactly the best performing and the fastest supercomputer so as to hold the title amongst countries.
The supercomputer that Japan is building is being developed by RIKEN which is a research institution based in Japan. Alongside them is Fujitsu who are also co partners in the development program. This is the same team that developed the K supercomputer' which is the third fastest in the world. The K supercomputer is a distant third in the list of world's fastest supercomputers. Compared to the top two, it only has speeds of up to 10.5 petaflops and 705, 204 processing cores which in ordinary parlance are monstrous but not in the league of supercomputers.
The supercomputing website speculates that the systems used in the supercomputer being developed will be based on the Linux OS. The use of a 6D mesh shows that the design will be six dimensional and as such multiple memory and storage connections will be able to be made simultaneously. This will also have multiple storage layers making it super efficient.
In China and Japan, the supercomputer dominance is seen as a source of national pride and the strides being made by the current regime in science and technology. This is the same team that developed the K supercomputer' which is the third fastest in the world. The K supercomputer is a distant third in the list of world's fastest supercomputers. This is the reason such importance is placed on developing the very best and most modern technology in these countries. And it is well known that the very best technology stems from having the very best computers and countries have graduated to the next level of super computers. Supercomputers have made countries super cyber powers and in this modern world that is seen as increasingly important. No country wants to be left behind and certainly Japan is not being left behind in the supercomputer arms race.

The Women's Fund El Dorado has awarded more than $200,000 and touched the lives of more than 13,000 members of the county during its first five years, according to Bill Roby, director of the El Dorado Community Foundation. Bill spoke at the Fund's annual membership celebration dinner at David Girard Vineyards in Placerville on Oct. 4. Approximately 175 donors and their guests attended.
Founded in 2007, the philanthropic organization is based on the principal of collective giving in order to address some of the most pressing needs in the county. Each member donates $200 or more annually, and each has an equal vote in deciding how to distribute the year's grant money. The organization's Grants Committee researches various nonprofit and educational requests to fund specific programs and then determines which will appear on each year's ballot. Some of those who have benefited from Women's Fund grants include The Boys and Girls Club of El Dorado County, the Food Bank of El Dorado County, the Upper Room, The Center for Violence-Free Relationships, the El Dorado Arts Council, The American River Conservancy and Golden Sierra High School.
The Women's Fund's outgoing chair, Judy Morris, introduced the dinner's keynote speaker, Vicki Barber, El Dorado County superintendent of schools. She emphasized the importance of the Women's Fund El Dorado in creating healthy communities, highlighting three key areas: Leadership, collective action and organizational skills.
"The Women's Fund El Dorado is unique in that we are not fundraisers, we are collaborative philanthropists," said incoming chair Maureen Carter. "The options are many for members who might enjoy an increased sense of involvement; however, some members appreciate the simplicity of making their annual contribution and participating in the online grants voting process. We welcome members at all levels of involvement."
The Women's Fund El Dorado is under the umbrella of the El Dorado Community Foundation. The fund has approximately 275 donor members with membership open to anyone.

The primary intent of the Scarborough Beach Urban Design Master Plan (prepared by Blackwell & Associates) was to reinvigorate the badly run-down infrastructure at this popular coastal tourist node.
The trigger to proceed with Stage 1 of the Master Plan was the City's successful bid to host the National Surf Life Saving Championships, a major event in Australia, for three years running: 2007-09.
Stage 1 focused on the centrepiece of the Master Plan – the outdoor amphitheatre that was designed to accommodate all manner of sporting and entertainment functions ranging from small community orientated ceremonies, to international events including the Tri-nations Beach Cricket.
Interestingly during the Master Planning phase the amphitheatre was seen primarily as having a passive recreation purpose. However, this role changed significantly during the course of the design development and even through the documentation and construction phases. To this extent the amphitheatre design had to be progressively modified to not only meet Building Code of Australia theatre/venue standards but also the soaring shade structure and integrated event lighting. All this was achieved within the tight and inflexible timeframe available.
The shade structure was engineered for the extreme wind conditions experienced in this coastal location. In addition to hundreds of cubic metres of conventional reinforced concrete footings the design incorporated the whole of the amphitheatre terraced seating to meet the wind-load specification.
The harsh coastal conditions, ie heavily salt-laden winds and high solar UV, combined with comparably harsh, pre-existing social conditions mandated that only the most durable materials and construction techniques could be employed. These included solid granite terraced seating and electro-polished 316 stainless steel furniture detailing, to ensure a long-term sustainable solution.

As I am writing this post I am surfing the net looking for information about Egypt's Social Media Revolution. It is reminiscent of the events that took place in Iran last year during their election season. The Iranian Twitter Revolution failed to achieve its immediate goal of peaceful institutional change but it may have inspired the current Social Media Revolution in Egypt. This eventing, NBC News discussed how social media has helped fuel the protests in Egypt.
In general, for thousands of years Egypt has been ruled by one political party or group. Some of these groups have been internal while others have been foreign powers who exerted influence over Egypt's internal affairs. While researching Egypt's history, it appears that the Egyptian people have never really had the opportunity to freely choose from a pool of candidates whom they want to lead their country. Therefore, it will be interesting to see the final outcome of this situation.
The bottom line is that during times of turmoil organizations must be aware of how people are utilizing social media and they must create social media crisis management plans because social media has the potential to shape people's hearts and minds the way television has been doing so for the past 50 years. Blocking access to social media is not the answer and will only fuel the fire. Therefore, institutions and companies must be proactive and understand the political, legal, and business ramifications of social media.
To learn more about the legal, business, and political ramifications of social media you may contact me at www.shearlaw.com.

We are living in a "magical moment" and couldn't dream of a better start to the season! This is the result of the hard work, on track by the riders and their crew, and at home by all the HRC engineers. I'd like to thank Marc, Dani and everybody in HRC for doing such a great job!
pole - a feat not matched since Giacomo Agostini back in 1971. Another record for the young World Champion! Marc is re-writing the history of this sport, breaking record after record! I honestly don't know when he will stop surprising us!
since 2012 - and he now moves ahead of Alex Barros, into third place, on the top ten list of all-time point scorers in the premier class. What must he do to make that extra step and take his first victory of 2014? Dani is doing a great job, and I believe that with a better start he would have been able to fight with Marc to the end of the race. I think he just has to continue working as he is doing now, hard work always pays off.
I hope it will be a great show for all the Spanish fans! They are lucky to have three compatriots almost always on top in MotoGP.
