Having been trained in urology, reconstructive urology and plastic surgery allows Dr. Crane to understand the complex transformation from female to male from both the urologist and plastic surgeon's perspective.
Dr. Crane and Dr. Satterwhite strongly believes in a personalized approach in assisting their patients in achieving their surgical goals. Both doctors have complex one on one discussions with their patients regarding placement of incisions and resultant scarring in the pre-operative consultation. The doctors give all their postoperative patients their own, personal cell phone number should patients have any urgent questions during their stay in the San Francisco Bay Area. By not having to go through an answering service or another doctor on call, patients have reported extremely high satisfaction rates with their care and compassion.
For details about the FTM surgery procedures offered by Dr. Crane and Dr. Satterwhite in San Francisco, please click the links below.
Top Surgery is one of the most common female to male gender confirmation surgeries. Dr. Crane and Dr. Satterwhite perform both the double incision and keyhole surgical procedures. For double incision patients, Dr. Crane and Dr. Satterwhite do not use drains. This is safely accomplished by leaving an abundance of lymphatic tissue which allows your own body to reabsorb the fluid that the drains would remove. With the combination of not using drains and performing intercostal nerve blocks with Lidocaine before starting the procedure, Dr. Crane and Dr. Satterwhite's patients have a dramatic decrease in their post-operative pain.
Patients may pursue a metoidioplasty (meta) or phalloplasty with or without urethral lengthening. Dr. Crane does perform his own vaginectomy, completely, and there is no drainage hole so the perineum is that of a male.
Dr. Crane works with several gynecologists in the Bay area that are proficient at laparoscopic hysterectomy for trans men.
Metoidioplasty is a "FTM bottom surgery" procedure that creates a phallus from the hormonally-enlarged clitoris. Urethroplasty, vaginectomy, and scrotoplasty are optional.
Free flap phalloplasty techniques offer optimal sensation, and include radial forearm, anterior lateral thigh (ALT) and musculocutaneous latissimus dorsi (MLD) phalloplasty. Urethral lengthening, vaginectomy, scrotoplasty and penile implant placement are optional.
For genital reconstruction, Dr. Crane does follow the World Professional Association of Transgendered Health (WPATH) guidelines and requires two letters of recommendation from mental health professionals, hormonal treatment and a year real-life test. Some exceptions are made for patients that transitioned years beforehand and have had legal documents changed reflecting their true gender.
Payment: Brownstein & Crane Surgical Services does accept major credit cards, however there is a 3% fee for their use. Care Credit is a financing company that the office also accepts. Information about Care Credit can be found at www.carecredit.com.
Insurance: Dr. Crane and Dr. Satterwhite are two of the few trans surgeons that are currently accepting insurance. Due to the high volume of requests, we find it necessary that you provide our office with a copy of the front and back of your insurance card along with the letters of recommendation required by your specific insurance company prior to scheduling surgery. Our office will verify if your insurance plan includes trans benefits and we will submit your letters of recommendation along with a letter from your surgeon to your health plan.
Our office does not currently accept Medicare and if the surgeons are out of network with your insurance plan you may be responsible for the surgeon's fee prior to surgery. Our office will always submit for prior authorization in order to try and obtain reimbursement for patients postoperatively.
The scheduling fee for meta is $1000. The phalloplasty scheduling fee is $2000.

Definition of paleobiology in English:
The biology of fossil animals and plants.
Example sentences
- Yet the majority of the book emphasizes dinosaur osteology, systematics, and the fossil record; paleobiology takes a back seat to this important foundation.
- Perhaps nowhere else in the literature is the integration between field stratigraphy, paleoecology, and paleobiology better illustrated than in this research.
- Studies of the preserved dung and animal remains are beginning to provide insight into large mammal paleobiology and community development during the Holocene.
- Example sentences
- Future exploration and quantification of the appendicular skeleton is necessary to complete the paleobiological and paleoecological picture of these giant herbivores.
- The next four chapters all focus on paleobiological patterns in the Cretaceous western interior.
- Both traditional morphometric methods and thin-plate splines revealed paleobiological trends among the humeri and femora of Apatosaurus, Diplodocus, and Camarasaurus.
- Example sentences
- In order to do this, paleobiologists must have an excellent fossil record of a lineage and an independent source of environmental data in the same region.
- Some paleobiologists believe the answer lies in the Ediacaran fossil remains dating back before the Cambrian, in the Ediacaran Period (565-545 million years ago).
- He has continued this work as a member of our ecumenically diverse team of ecologists, geneticists and paleobiologists supported by the National Center for Ecological Analysis and Synthesis.

Their Eyes Were Watching God
by Zora Neale Hurston
Their Eyes Were Watching God Love Quotes
How we cite our quotes: Citations follow this format: (Chapter.Paragraph)
Quote #10
After that she came to where Joe Starks was waiting for her with a hired rig. He was very solemn and helped her to the seat beside him. With him on it, it sat like some high, ruling chair. From now on until death she was going to have flower dust and springtime sprinkled over everything. A bee for her bloom. (4.59)
After being threatened with death by Logan, Janie runs away from her failed marriage and vows that she will have the beautiful love represented by her pear tree. She promises to herself that she will not settle for less. She sees Joe as her vehicle to this love and thus elopes with him, despite the fact that he represents the far horizon far more than her "flower dust and springtime." However, she's so blinded by her happiness to be leaving Logan that she mistakenly thinks Joe is "a bee for her bloom."
Quote #11
She [Janie] had never thought of making a speech, and didn't know if she cared to make one at all. It must have been the way Joe spoke out without giving her a chance to say anything one way or another that took the bloom off of things. But anyway, she went down the road behind him that night feeling cold. He strode along invested with his new dignity, thought and planned out loud, unconscious of her thoughts. (5.108)
The first sign of trouble in Janie's second marriage comes when Joe completely cuts off Janie when she is invited to speak publicly. Though Janie does not really want to speak, she resents Joe for not even giving her the chance to reply. This quick silencing of Janie takes "the bloom off of things" or takes the romance—represented by Janie's pear blossoms—out of the moment. This leaves her feeling "cold" when she should be flushed with warmth for love of Joe.
Quote #12
But here come Bootsie, and Teadi and Big 'woman down the street making out they are pretty by the way they walk. They have got that fresh, new taste about them like young mustard greens in the spring, and the young men on the porch are just bound to tell them about it and buy them some treats.
"Heah come mah order right now," Charlie Jones announces and scrambles off the porch to meet them. But he has plenty of competition. A pushing, shoving show of gallantry. They all beg the girls to just buy anything they can think of. Please let them pay for it. Joe is begged to wrap up all the candy in the store and order more. All the peanuts and soda water—everything!
"Gal, Ah'm crazy 'bout you," Charlie goes on to the entertainment of everybody. "Ah'll do anything in the world except work for you and give you mah money." (6.143-145)
The attractive young girls entering the store have that innocence and ideal of love that Janie describes through natural imagery; she compares them to "young mustard greens in the spring." Accordingly, the young men jump to play at courting them. These young people are playing at love, flirting and testing each other out.

Tonight, Warriors rookie guard Stephen Curry will get to defend Boston Celtics rising star point guard Rajon Rondo.
It will be the third elite point guard he's matched up against in three games, the first two being New Orleans' Chris Paul and Phoenix's Steve Nash.
So far, Curry has done better than expected.
"Quite a three-game series for the young kid," Warriors coach Don Nelson said after Sunday's practice. "He's going to be learning a lot of stuff on the job. ... He's certainly has learned a lot (of lessons). He hasn't given any (lessons) yet. But he's been very solid. He's holding his own all right."
Against Paul on Wednesday, Curry had 17 points, a career-high 10 rebounds and seven assists. He helped limit Paul to 20 points and seven assists.
Curry said part of the reason was that New Orleans was looking to get the ball inside, but Paul did score two big baskets over Curry down the stretch.
Saturday vs. Nash, Curry had 13 points and four assists. His numbers paled in comparison to Nash, who had 36 points and nine assists, but Curry said the game plan was to prevent Nash from beating the Warriors with his passing.
The Warriors wound up getting the victory, but Curry spent much of crunchtime on the bench, including all but the final 20.8 seconds of the fourth quarter, as Nelson put guard C.J. Watson on Nash.
Rondo presents a different problem from Paul and Nash. A superior athlete who excels because of his versatility, Rondo drives home the primary point for Curry during this stretch.
"You've got to be alert at all times," said Curry, who gave himself a good grade for his defense on Paul and Nash. "This the NBA. No nights off."
Curry will have a harder time going back at his man on offense, as Rondo is a better defender than Paul or Nash. Rondo rebounds well for a guard and creates offense by forcing turnovers.
He is not looking to shoot as much as Paul and Nash. But he is relentless at getting to the basket and sets up his offensive weapons well.
Curry's efforts against Paul and Nash displayed his strides on the defensive end, as those are two of the better offensive players in the league. Nelson said Curry is tougher on his post defense now, and he defends pick-and-rolls well. Perhaps his biggest asset is that he understands and executes the game plan, which sets him up to have the help he needs.
"He's doing a lot better than he was at the beginning of the season. I know coach (Keith) Smart has been working with him a lot, talking about his stance and not backing up so much in transition. He's doing a lot better. He's taking on the challenge, and he's meeting it. "... You've got to be ready at all times because they're always attacking you."

6 Ways to Eat Your Placentacaitlinhtp
If you can get beyond the initial "ewwww!" factor of eating your placenta (technically know as placentophagy, if you're wondering), the debate on whether your placenta provides any unique health benefits is quite interesting.
While maybe cultures, especially those that follow Traditional Chinese Medicine techniques, revere the practice, other cultures – like our own – typically find it to be a bit gross and possibly cannibalistic.
While the Western scientific community is still out on whether placentophagy is beneficial, proponents argue that the placenta contains high levels of prostaglandin, which stimulates a shrinking of the uterus after delivery. Additionally, the practice is thought to reduce rates of postpartum depression, increase milk supply, and speed along a mother's recovery. The placenta notably contains high levels of iron and Vitamin-B12.
Interestingly enough, many hospitals consider placentas to be 'biohazardous waste' and will fight patients who want to take their placentas home. Other hospitals require that the patient's doctor signs a release form before they allow the placenta to be carted off in a cooler.
Here are six common ways (well, relatively speaking) that women consume their placentas following birth:
- Some Like It Raw: A potential midwife told me a story of how one of her patients, who wouldn't stop hemorrhaging after birth, calmly asked for a knife, carved a bit of placenta off, and ate it… raw. For what it's worth, the bleeding stopped almost immediately afterwards.
- Others Like It Neat: Most women, of course, do not go the raw route and opt for something a little more – well, neat. There are many services that will pick up your placenta from the hospital (or your house if you had a home birth or were not legally allowed to release your placenta to someone else at the hospital), dehydrate it, and encapsulate it in pill form. A bloody, messy placenta disappears, and a neat little bottle of 'vitamins' comes back. I can stomach that.
- Some DIY: There are some very interesting tutorials on how to encapsulate your own placenta at home, saving you money (but perhaps not time). Here's one example.
- Others Blend It Up: Placenta Smoothie, anyone?
- Some Do the Jerky: Using a dehydrator, some moms opt to dehydrate their placenta in strips. Word is that it tastes much like regular jerky.
- Others Go Gourmet: Yes, you can apparently make Roast Placenta, Placenta Cocktail (with V-8 juice), Placenta Lasagne, or Placenta Spaghetti Bologna. Here are the recipes.
Would you eat your placenta? As my husband is a Traditional Chinese Medicine physician, I'm planning on having a service encapsulate mine into pills. I figure it can't hurt – and as long as I don't have to eat raw placenta meat, I'm cool with it.

Daily Journal
TUPELO – Tupelo has played an unforgiving schedule. Now the Golden Wave are starting to be unforgiving – winners of five straight games. No one seems to notice the eight losses.
"When you go up against tougher opponents, it helps when you come to division games," senior guard Isaiah Traylor said. "It helps you out in the long run. It doesn't seem like it, but it does."
Tupelo made the biggest jump in the latest Northeast Mississippi rankings, moving from No. 10 to No. 4.
The schedule has featured two losses to No. 2 West Point, wins against No. 5 Shannon and No. 6 Biggersville and a loss against 3A contender Velma Jackson.
"I think we're really making some progress, as far as playing together and turning it over less … and we're rebounding better," Tupelo coach Jeff Norwood said. "So it gives you a better chance."
With only two seniors, Norwood said this team is rightfully a little slow-maturing, but says it's happening at a good time.
The Wave (13-8) will put their streak on the line in today's Hotbed Classic. Tupelo will play No. 9 North Pontotoc at 3:30 p.m.
"I love this time of year, the start of March Madness," Norwood said. "But if you don't dance now, you don't get to dance later."
Senior captain Traylor and junior Antonio Green have shot the ball well. Norwood says senior JJ Ashby is probably his best leader.
Tough schedule
The schedule continues to be tough. Tupelo goes to Grenada on Tuesday for a division game against the Chargers and Louisiana Tech signee Joniah White. Green says he is especially looking forward to playing 4A contender Corinth to close the regular season.
Tupelo is getting key contributions from a lot of their youth – including junior Tre Long, sophomores Tre Jenkins, Eric Fuller and Tristan Upchurch, as well as Easton Upchurch, the lone freshman.
"Along with them and my older group, if we can get it to mesh just right, I think we can be hard to play against," Norwood said. "I just like our chances. I'm still in the process of trying to teach them to go game-by-game and be ready to fight."

When Greg Schiano left Rutgers to become the head coach of the NFL's Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the Scarlet Knights turned to a familiar face in former offensive line coach Kyle Flood. Flood has done a great job in his first year as the 29th head coach to Rutgers.
But how does he really stack up against the prior coach? Schiano served at Rutgers University for 11 years and transformed the Scarlet Knights into a consistently competitive and respected football program.
When Schiano started with the Scarlet Knights in 2001, his record was a mere 2-9, while this season Flood has shown an impressive 9-3 season in his first year. It took Schiano nearly 6 years to have a record as impressive as Flood's, with an 11-2 season in 2006. In fact, Schiano's winning records did not improve until Flood signed on as an assistant in 2005. In the past 50 years (and out of the past six head coaches) no Rutgers head coach has posted a better record as Flood. Even his counterpart in the Russell Athletic Bowl, Virginia Tech Head Coach Frank Beamer, took seven years to reach a record of 9-3.
Although Flood fell just short of taking the Knights to their first BCS game, he was able to help Rutgers become a Big East Conference Co-Champion. This is their first share of a conference championship since 1974 when they won the Middle Three Conference Championship.
No doubt Flood has seen the benefit of Schiano's recruiting and details-oriented approach to managing the program. By keeping the head coaching position inside the family, the Scarlet Knights were able to continue the standard of success rather than hitting the reset button. Time will tell if Flood can build on that standard, but a win in the Russell Athletic Bowl would give the Knights double-digit wins, a feat they only accomplished once under Schiano.

Elastic Text for FCPX
ElasticText is a set of elastic styled text animations that are powered by a very unique drop-down option menu. Not only can you choose 7 different in and out animations, but you can choose the various directions for each animation and you can have a different in animation from your out animation.
Requirements: Final Cut Pro X 10.1.1 or higher.
Price: $29
Immediate Download
Elastic Text Animations
ElasticText comes with 7 unique elastic/rubbery styled animations. Each animation type has several directions in which it enters and exits the screens. It's also set up in a way that the in and out options coordinate with each other with natural feeling results. Not only that, but ElasticText is a single animation engine (rather than all separate animations for each style) so that you can have a different incoming animation from that of the outgoing animation. Simply select one "in" animation and select a different "out" animation for many possibilities.
Title Parameters
In the ElasticText parameters, simply select the title on-screen then click the "text" tab in the parameter window. From here you can change the text type, size, and face. Then top to the "title" tab and you can select the incoming and outgoing text animations as desired. Experiment with them and change them up. Then it has an X and Y adjustment so you can easily micro/adjust each position. It also comes with useful fade in and out settings that can be adjusted with sliders if you want a slight fade in or out in your title animations. Finally, you can opt to select the continuous Elastic Quiver animation to add even more life to your elastic text!
Creative Possibilites
One thing we love about ElasticText is that the corresponding in and out animations allow for some real creative title animating. For example, you can set the outgoing animation of your first title to "Fling" then set the incoming title animation of the next title to the same thing and the result is like pulling back a rubber band and letting it "fling"…then it comes zooming back onto the screen from the other direction. This is fun to create continuous looping animations when creating kinetic text type sequences.
Smooth or motion blur?
Something we love about fast flying animations is the natural motion blur effect. We have provided two choices when using ElasticText: "ElasticText Clean" and "ElasticText Motion Blur". For those of you who like the clean look and for those who prefer the film-like motion blur. Please note: using the motion blur text engine is a bit more processor heavy and may take longer to render in your timeline.
Made for FCPX
ElasticText was created for FCPX and is found in the "Title" browser under "FilmCandyFX ElasticText". Simply drag and drop one of the text engines onto your timeline, then edit your text, change the font, and begin choosing various animations from the drop down menus.

Alice in Wonderland
Look it's the trailer for the new live action Alice in Wonderland movie directed by Tim Burton. I am excited about this movie. The art direction looks amazing. Johnny Depp is the Had Hatter. Anne Hathaway is the White Queen. Helena Bonham Carter is the Red Queen. Here are some stills from the movie.
So much work I missed out on the french movie I wanted to see. Now I get to wait for it to be released on Netflix
I attended the LR Tweet up. I didn't take pictures. I was too busy mingling. Other people took pictures and a good bunch are over on Lance Turner's Blog..
Over 70 people RSVPed and there were quite a few there. The room that was originally reserved for the event was too small and the people managed to take over the entire bar area.
I'd give more details but I don't want to end up in the trunk of a car. You'll just have to come to the next one.
Thoughts of the day at the end of the day.
This was in Conway today. Conway is town where my alma mater is located. On more than one occasion, I remember sitting in the hallway of the first floor in the dorm waiting for a tornado watch/warning to let up. It's an awesome video. The conversation between the two people who are watching this while one is filming is pretty classic.
I took one of those cheesy "which Greek Goddess are you?" quizzes and got Hecate. I've never heard of her. Obviously, my education on the Greek Gods and Goddess is sorely lacking. Fascinating though.
For all your personal injury attorneys, the ambulance chaser t-shirt.
This is the video of Arkansas Lottery Director Ernie Passailaigue after his speech to the Arkansas Political Animals Club. He gave a lot of football metaphors and called the Hogs. I love the attempt to ingratiate himself with the locals by calling the Hogs. I can understand the theory on why you pay the lottery people so much; (It's a specialized set of information and to set up one from scratch requires a level of expertise that should be compensated) BUT WHY!!!! is the security detail (a former Arkansas sheriff) getting paid six figures? Is he supposed to follow the director around 24/7?
The best part about Tolbert's video is the female reporter making faces. She obviously forgot that people could see her. OH MY!
early morning Tuesday
It's 1:08 on Tuesday morning. So yeah I'm up late. I have some low level allergies that messes with my head which messes with my sleep schedule. I've also been busy at work and life.
- I won something that I thought I'd lose. It's always a pleasant surprise when you find out that you have underestimated your abilities. Or heck, pleasant surprise when you have just lucked out!
- I finally replaced my Nike + iPod. This made me happier than being the next contestant on the Price is Right.
- I am excited about seeing this movie: Summer House. Both Blake Rutherford and Jennybee liked it. Both of them like fancy pants movies. They saw it on the same day at the same theater. They may have even seen it at the same time. NO, as far as I know, they don't know each other.
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince
yes America, I went and saw Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince.
I read the book back in the day but I haven't reread it since. I do, however, remember quite a bit of the plot. Let's say that I remember enough to know what was going to happen but not enough to get pissy about the things left out.
This is the movie that starts right after the confrontation between Harry and he who must not be named himself Voldemort in the Goblet of Fire. Harry hangs out at the Weasleys. They start school and Malfoy looks like he's up to no good. This time, it looks like he's really really up to no good. What is he doing? Also, the whole gang has discovered the opposite sex and crushes abound. This is Harry Potter: teen angst version.
This movie is darker than the previous Potter films, as it should be. Dumbledore asks Harry to get close to the new potions teacher to find out some dirt on a former student. Dumbledore is away on his own doings trying to take down the death eaters. There are mysterious conversations regarding Snape.
So. The movie is quite a fun ride. Some of the plot lines in the book were more subtle than the movie version especially the romantic plot lines of Ron, Hermoine, and Harry.

The blog of the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation
I was recently reminded of the insights that grieving can provide us on the subject of hope. I was in Biloxi, Miss. last week to accept an award on behalf of Knight Foundation, which was being honored as Philanthropist of the Year by the Mississippi Gulf Coast Community Foundation.
It was a festive event, complete with Hawaiian leis and an Elvis impersonator. So I don't mean to suggest that anything somber was taking place. But Biloxi was nearly wiped off the map by Hurricane Katrina five years ago.
It killed people. It lifted barges out of the river and deposited them on top of inland buildings. It destroyed root systems for trees. It seemed very much like an act of an angry God.
Since joining foundation-land, I've learned that hurricanes like this or the floods in Grand Forks, S.D. or the economic collapse in Detroit, Mich. are called "mobilizing events." It's a very sanitized phrase to describe the sudden extinction of things once eternal and the disillusionment that seeps in in the aftermath of that knowledge.
The storm did change Biloxi forever, but because of the people, it did not destroy it. Our CEO Alberto Ibarügen has written about his visit to Biloxi at the urging of his friend Ricky Matthews, former publisher of the Sun Herald. His eyewitness experience of the combination of anguish and resolve is just one of the many ripples still reverberating in our hearts and minds today.
I don't mean for this entry to be a solemn one. 'But before I can share the hopeful thing, you must at least touch upon the inner struggle that human beings face in the wake of cataclysmic phrases like "post-Katrina" or even "great recession."
When Alberto recounted stories of children searching for their parents following the storm or people clearing their yard and sweeping their stoops, I heard a full range of ways that we *cling* to life after the storm. The storm is like a death and human beings respond by clinging to life.
Now, five years later Biloxi has new schools, homes, hotels, neighborhoods and casinos. They still get an influx of thousands of volunteers per year who are eager to participate in such a visible, phoenix-type experience.
Our former program director and current local advisor, Adele Lyons, drove me around town and I learned more about the history and diversity of Biloxi. The waterfront is gorgeous. The Ohr-O'Keefe Museum has rare and magnificent collections of Mississippi's world-acclaimed artists. And though he wasn't at the museum, the world should remember that Elvis was made in Mississippi as well.
So pause right here.
The story of Biloxi's continuing turnaround is so visibly impressive to an outsider like me that I wondered aloud to Adele and Denny Mecham (who runs the Ohr-O'Keefe Museum) and others at my table, "Why isn't someone doing heritage tourism here?"
You get this influx of thousands of volunteers who get to know something about the place already, I'm sure that they'd be willing to tell friends and family about the other attractions here. I've stayed at the Hard Rock Hotel and the Beau Rivage. For the price of a regular bed in Miami, you can get the baller's suite in Biloxi.
Plus taking a bus tour and hearing the stories of Katrina's devastation while you look upon new houses, new schools and new community centers is about as inspiring of an alternative vacation as any I can imagine.
They let me fantasize about this for a while and then one of the guests at our table confided.
"You know, when you're here, you don't see it the same," she sighed a little and looked into her memory as she spoke. "An outsider sees what we have, but we can still remember what we've lost."
And there it is. The lesson of Biloxi and Detroit and countless other places.
The people there are grieving their losses. They can remember fondly the way that it was and it will never be that way again. I don't blame them for remembering their love who is never coming back.
But I'd encourage all of us to honor that memory by looking forward. Retain your love of the place but build upon the new opportunities. Know your neighbors, get involved. Let new ways of thinking about this place become new ways of living in it.
That's not a lesson about Biloxi or Detroit. That's about love, loss and life itself.
Happy Thanksgiving to any and all who are determined to make it better.

The Laboratory
by Robert Browning
The Earring
Symbol Analysis
This is just one object we could pick out of a whole bunch in the poem, but we think it's a great symbol of feminine appeal, which is such an important theme in this text. The way that ladies dance and drink and dress is an obsession for our speaker, and the poem spends a lot of time on those little details.
Line 19: This is just an earring. Or is it? You see, it happens that this earring, like a lot of things in the poem, is filled with poison! It's gone from being an innocent thing for a lady to wear to a deadly weapon. That's a big theme in this poem: looks can be deceiving. A sweet pretty young lady could actually be a serial killer.

It wasn't more than a couple of years ago that I wrote "digital" as we knew it was dead. Dramatic as the title was (and still is), it didn't take away from the cold hard reality that we have labeled so many things in our industry "digital" that the term itself was now meaningless.
And "digital" isn't the only one; in fact there are lots of similar terms and catchphrases that have gone the way of pop culture lexicon, having lost their inherent meaning.
Today these terms, though once very descriptive, now require some form of additional context to provide any true value in their use.
Entrepreneur. Another term that means nothing in the modern age without context. When I was young (mind you, I'm only 35-years-old) "entrepreneur" was a badge of merit.
Calling yourself that (or better yet, being referred to it by others) meant that you had created a life for yourself and your family from scratch. You created wealth in monetary fashion or lore. In any case, you were someone to be considered, even admired, by the general public. You were a successful businessperson.
Enter today, where we call anyone with a Federal ID an "entrepreneur" and dropping the F-bomb more than once in a presentation is sometimes enough to get you a cover story in the Huffington Post or Mashable. Today you have to add context to give meaning to a word that was once a simple description of a life inspired by many and revered by some.
It's no longer sufficient to be described as an "entrepreneur," rather we want our peers to say, "He's a successful entrepreneur." And yet each time I hear it, I cringe. It bothers me because it's a term I once felt passionate for.
It defined the very reason I went to the office in the morning and stayed through the night. It was something I wanted so badly because I knew that it bucked the trend. Being an entrepreneur meant I was different.
Digital was different
Today we live in a world where digital means nothing. Anyone who builds a website (which is easier to build than a Facebook page these days) is digital. Do you buy digital media? You are digital. Do you manage social media? Create communities? What about video? Do you create it and upload it to YouTube? Wait a minute? Have you made an app?
What about an installation that uses a computer and some form of interactive infographic? Wow! You are digital. Everyone is digital because nearly everything is digital. Yes! Digital won, right?
Oops. So what's to become of all of us, the "digital" agencies? What do you do when your identity is hijacked by pop culture? You rebrand of course! This is a "marketing" marketplace. Some became "interactive."
Others became "technology-first" or "experience" agencies (….guilty). A few just kept marching on as production companies embracing the maker movement, creating new technologies or finding cost-effective ways to subcontract to other firms. Last, but not least, some took hard-earned money off the table and sold to holding companies and agency conglomerates sensing the "end was near."
That didn't stop the marketplace either, did it? The people still demand digital. I hear it every day. In fact, I often find myself in this conversation…
Them: "What does Phenomblue do?"
Me: "We are a brand experience agency using strategy, creative and technology to connect people and brands."
Them: "So…that means what exactly?"
Me: "Basically…we are a digital agency."
Them: "Oh, right. I get it."
Several months ago I was at a conference and this question came up again: "What is digital?" I forbade my usual tirade on "digital is dead" and contemplated the question and thought about how Phenomblue goes about business.
I thought about my SoDA peers and how they "do what they do." I considered the methodologies and the trial and error. I thought about the prototyping and the incessant tweaking of beta 1, 2, 3. Then it dawned on me. Digital is iterative. Traditional is fixed.
That's what our clients have been talking about all along. They desire a digital agency because they want to innovate and innovation is iteration.
I started processing agencies in my head and categorising them as digital or traditional, and all of a sudden a line that seemed to blur infinitely looked razor sharp. I thought about the world we live in, and what we do as consumers using technology to interact with everything and everyone and it clicked.
We live in an iterative world and that requires sustainable adaptability. It requires digital. Digital is not dead, it's iterative – a continuous evolution.
Why are digital agencies starting to get everything as opposed to just the "tech stuff"? Branding. Positioning. Business strategy. Full on creative. Because we are iterative by nature.
In a world where every market on the planet is seeing unprecedented competition, where pop culture changes at an exponentially faster rate year over year and where technologies rise to power more rapidly than the public can keep up, we're forced to move first and iterate.
Digital is iterative and it's everywhere.
Joe Olsen is the president and chief executive of Phenomblue. He co-founded the agency in 2004, and is a SoDA board member.

Five Tips when Choosing your Vacation Rental
More private and often more affordable than hotel rooms, vacation rentals are increasingly becoming the way to stay. The right vacation condo, cabin, or townhome can be the perfect start to an unforgettable vacation; often they come with more space, better amenities, and have more varied locations than you'd find if you were strictly looking at hotels.
Of course picking the right vacation home is the first step when you plan to travel. Here are a few simple things to keep in mind when you start planning your next vacation getaway:
Know your destination – Although you may be in town for the beaches or the ski slopes, most vacation locales have a wide range of off-the-beaten-path activities when you know the area. Check travel guides and speak with an expert so you can plan everything from zipline canopy tours to hot springs visits when you come to town.
Know what you need – Traveling with pets or small children? Need ski locker storage or resort shuttle access? Only choose a vacation rental that suits all of your needs. Be sure to check what amenities are offered with your rental property and double check that the location is to your liking before you commit to a week-long stay.
Keep an eye out for special rates and deals – Many vacation home suppliers will offer off-season specials to fill vacant properties. Shrewd travelers can save as much as 50% on their lodging costs or get special package deals that include free lift tickets, rental gear and more. Stretch your dollars so you can enjoy more of the fun stuff on your trip.
Always choose professionally managed – Professionally managed vacation properties offer more security and a better guarantee of quality. You want to be sure the vacation home you choose is professionally maintained and cared for so there are no unpleasant surprises when you walk in the door.
Consider trip insurance – When you've booked a trip six months in advance it's entirely possible your plans may change down the road. Don't let an unexpected illness, injury or job loss ruin your fun. If you have to cancel or postpone a trip, travel insurance can protect your investment and ensure you get the vacation you hoped for.

ASPEN - A trade association for Colorado's ski industry has decided it will no longer disclose how much business its members log each season.
Colorado Ski Country USA has traditionally provided the number of skier and snowboard rider visits that each of its members recorded over the course of the ski season. But member resorts suggested a change of policy to Colorado Ski Country staff. And no objections were raised at a recent meeting of the trade group's board of directors, said Melanie Mills, president and CEO of the trade group.
"We had a number of members, it wasn't just one, that asked why are we doing this," she said, referring to releasing skier visits. "No one could say why."
So starting this spring, Colorado Ski Country changed a decades-long policy of disclosure. Instead of providing information about the skier visits at each of its 22 member resorts, the association only gave out the cumulative total.
In addition, all of the historic data of individual resorts' skier visits from past seasons was erased from Colorado Ski Country's website.
Dave Bellack, Aspen Skiing Co. attorney and chairman of Colorado Ski Country's board of directors, said the change was sought for competitive reasons. Representatives of some resorts argued that their in-state competitors would copy their marketing and other business tactics if they showed growth in skier visits. They wanted the number more closely held.
Neither Mills nor Bellack would disclose the resorts that raised the concern over skier-visit disclosure. "It wasn't us," Bellack said, in reference to Skico.
Nevertheless, Skico is playing along. It refused to release its skier visits, cumulatively or at its four individual ski areas, for the first time in nearly two decades this spring. The company claimed it posted a 4.3 percent increase over the reported visits the prior season. That would place its visits at 1,422,710 for last winter.
Vail Resorts - which operates Vail Mountain, Beaver Creek, Breckenridge and Keystone - continues to release skier-visit data. The publicly held company is not a member of Colorado Ski Country.
The secrecy by the bulk of Colorado resorts comes at a time when the state ski industry is struggling with the recession. Growth was negligible last season, with skier visits up only 0.4 percent over the prior season for Colorado Ski Country's members. That came on the heels of a 7 percent drop - about 500,000 fewer visits - in the 2008-09 season.
Bellack said the recession was only tied to the change in policy on skier visits "in the most indirect sense."
"The recession inspired and compelled everybody to look at how they operate their business," he said.
Bellack noted that the ski industry went from its best season ever in 2006-07 to one of its toughest seasons in just two years.
"You could afford to be complacent in 2006, and now you can't be complacent about anything," he said. In this case, some member resorts feel it would be best to guard their skier visits, he added.
Mills downplayed the significance in the change of how Colorado Ski Country handles skier visits. The numbers don't reflect revenues or profits, so their value is limited, she said.
However, the measure of visitation has been the ski industry standard for years.
"Times change. It's a competitive world out there," Mills said.
There might be a hitch in the plans to keep the numbers secret, though. Most of the 22 resorts in the trade association lease lands managed by the U.S. Forest Service for their ski operations.
Ken Kowynia, winter sports administrator of the Forest Service's regional office in Lakewood, was surprised to hear about Colorado Ski Country's new policy of withholding skier visits. "It's never been an issue," he said.
He traditionally collects figures on skier visits by contacting winter sports administrators in the individual forests, who collect the data from the resorts or Colorado Ski Country. Kowynia said he was uncertain if the Forest Service, as landlord, can force the ski resorts to supply the data "if push came to shove."
The federal agency is more concerned about collecting information about revenues from the ski areas since that factors into the complex formula used to set ski area fees for use of public lands.

Renowned for its celebrations of the arts, its multiple cultures, and its bountiful harvests from vines, land, and sea, South Australia is both diverse and divine. Here you can taste some of the country's finest wines, sample its best restaurants, and admire some of the world's most valuable gems. Or skip the state's sophisticated options and unwind on wildlife-rich Kangaroo Island, hike in the Flinders Ranges, or live underground like opal miners in the vast Outback.
Spread across a flat saucer of land between the Mt. Lofty ranges and the sea, the capital city of Adelaide is easy to explore. The wide streets of its 1½-square-km (½-square-mile) city center are organized in a simple grid that's ringed with parklands. The plan was laid out in 1836 by William Light, the colony's first surveyor-general, making Adelaide the only early-Australian capital not built by English convict labor. Today Light's plan is recognized as being far ahead of its time. This city of 1.1 million still moves at a leisurely pace, free of the typical urban menace of traffic jams thanks to Light's insistence that all roads be wide enough to turn a cannon.
Nearly 90% of South Australians live in the fertile south around Adelaide, because the region stands on the very doorstep of the harshest, driest land in the most arid of Earth's populated continents. Jagged hills and stony deserts fill the parched interior, which is virtually unchanged since the first settlers arrived. Desolate terrain and temperatures that top 48°C (118°F) have thwarted all but the most determined efforts to conquer the land. People who survive this region's challenges do so only through drastic measures, such as in the far-northern opal-mining town of Coober Pedy, where residents live underground.
Still, the deserts hold great surprises, and many clues to the country's history before European settlement. The ruggedly beautiful Flinders Ranges north of Adelaide hold Aboriginal cave paintings and fossil remains from when the area was an ancient seabed. Lake Eyre, a great salt lake, filled with water in the year 2000 for only the fourth time in its recorded history. The Nullarbor ("treeless") Plain stretches west across state lines in its tirelessly flat, ruthlessly arid march into Western Australia.
Yet South Australia is, perhaps ironically, gifted with the good life. It produces most of the nation's wine, and the sea ensures a plentiful supply of lobster and famed King George whiting. Cottages and guesthouses tucked away in the countryside around Adelaide are among the most charming and relaxing in Australia. Farther afield, unique experiences like watching seal pups cuddle with their mothers on Kangaroo Island would warm any heart. South Australia may not be grand in reputation, but its attractions are extraordinary, and after a visit you'll know you've indulged in one of Australia's best-kept secrets.

Monday in The Zone was a more somber show because of the sever weather Sunday night. The damage was extraordinary and the loss of life tragic so this was really the focus of the show today. Gov. Mike Beebe gave a live press conference and we carry his comments live.
People were calling in asking how they can help. One of the best way right now to help is to donate to the Red Cross. From the Red Cross we are joined on the Stickyz hotline by Bridget Williams who tells us all of the way's they have made it easy to contribute.
KATV's Chris Kane was up at 2am reporting on the lives lost and the damage. He joins us in studio to give his first hand account of what he saw. He compared what he saw to being in a post apocalyptic world.
A fellow employee of ours was close to wear the tornado's touched down last night. Keri calls in to tell us her experience from last night.
The big national sports story, which seems so trivial at this moment, is the racist comments made by the Clipper's owner Donald Sterling. In this segment we discuss this situation.
Tuesday we will be live from Landers Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep in

My Heart Leaps Up When I Behold
by William Wordsworth
My Heart Leaps Up When I Behold Theme of Happiness
Happy, happy! Joy, joy! From the start, we learn that the speaker's heart leaps up when he sees a rainbow. This enthusiasm, we find out, runs throughout his entire life and is largely created by his relationship with nature and with childhood. Think about the things that make your heart leap with happiness when you consider the theme of happiness in "My Heart Leaps Up When I Behold."
Questions About Happiness
- Describe the feeling of a heart leaping up, as you imagine it happening in this poem, and how it happens for you.
- Think about something that makes you so happy that you would want to die if it no longer made you happy. How is your source of happiness like or unlike the speaker's?
- Does the idea of "natural piety" sound happy to you? Why or why not?
- Do you feel happy at the end of this poem? Why or why not?
Chew on This
The speaker in this poem can only draw happiness from the beauty of nature. Like Sinéad O'Connor sang, nothing compares to nature for our speaker.
The speaker of this poem feels that, if one of the main sources of happiness in his life no longer pleased him, it would not be worth living. Bummer.

Stomach Issues/GERD
This answer was rated:
I've had stomach issues for the last two years. It began as extreme heartburn, sometimes to the point where I couldn't breathe. I went into the doctor, and they told me many different things. I was sent to have an endoscopy, and they found nothing out of the ordinary. I have also done a barium swallow which confirmed that I have GERD. I was still having issues, and they sent me in for a gallbladder ultrasound and a blood test of gluten sensitivity. They found many gallstones, and I then had my gallbladder removed in October. The blood test for the gluten issue came back negative, though a holistic nutritionist said to stay away from it and wheat itself. I am still having issues, and my symptoms no one seems to understand or to have heard of before: I am nauseous 95% of the time, every day. I also always feel hungry, like when you haven't eaten in forever and it is grumbling and gurgling. In the beginning, the only thing that would make the heartburn go away was eating, which in turn made me nauseous. This has caused me to gain weight. I still have heartburn, though I am on omeprazole once a day. I was also on Reglan for a short period of time but that didn't seem to help, so they took me off because of the potential side-effects. Lately, I have been having diarrhea nearly three times a week and it is beginning to get uncomfortable. Last week, I had loose stools and I felt like I emptied out my entire colon, but still felt the urge to "bear down" but nothing would come out, almost like the dry-heaves when you're vomiting. I have not had a bowel movement since then, and my stomach is sore or tender to the touch. I don't know if these symptoms are related, but I have gotten to the point where I feel like I am falling apart. I'm only 21, I feel like I shouldn't have this much of an issue so young. Any advice or feedback would be GREATLY appreciated.

It is my pleasure to help you today
sorry to hear about your symptoms
the fact that you have this change in your bowel movement habit,dissension and pain would make me suggest talking to your Dr about scheduling colonoscopy and abdominal CT scan
IBS or irritable bowel syndrome should be ruled out with these symptoms if positive you may need different medications than the ones that you are on now mean while try to stay away from carbonated beverages, salads, raw fruits and vegetables — especially cabbage, broccoli and cauliflower and fried food
Hope you get better soon
Any other questions let me know
if I was able to help you your (EXCELLENT) rating is very important to me so I would get compensated for my time and answer

In your opinion, what do you think the reasoning for the continued hunger and nausea is? Have you seen anything like this before? I have done this type of information gathering as a last resort of sorts because no one seems to have any answers to give me and I am getting very discouraged. Do you have any other information or ideas that I should be looking into?

a CT scan of the abdomen should be done 1st to rule out any visible mass or condition that may be partially obstruction the GI track and causing such symptoms especially if upper endoscopy was negative

Thank you to the Physician who answered my question today. The answer was far more informative than what I got from the Physicians I saw in person for my problem.
