Icy Lemon-Ginger Vodka Cocktails
Total Time
Prep 20 mins
Cook 4 hrs
These slushy, potent cocktails are easy to make in batches. They're also ideal for parties because most of the preparation can be done in advance. Thanks to Tyler Florence, TV Food Network!
Ingredients Nutrition
- 3 inch piece fresh ginger, peeled and thinly sliced
- 473.18 ml water
- 354.88 ml sugar
- 1 lemon, zest of, finely grated
- 236.59 ml fresh lemon juice
- 1892.72 ml crushed ice
- 473.18 ml vodka
- 8 mint sprigs, for garnish
- In a small saucepan, combine the sliced ginger with the water and sugar and bring to a simmer over moderate heat. Simmer for 5 minutes, then let the ginger syrup cool slightly. Transfer to a blender and puree. Strain the syrup into a large, shallow glass dish. Stir in the lemon zest and juice. Cover and freeze the lemon-ginger syrup until firm, at least 4 hours.
- Let the frozen lemon-ginger mixture stand at room temperature for 5 minutes. Chop the mixture into large pieces. Put half of the pieces in a blender, add 4 cups of crushed ice and 1 cup of vodka and blend until slushy. Pour the vodka cocktail into 4 glasses, garnish each with a mint sprig and serve. Repeat with the remaining frozen lemon mixture, ice, vodka and mint sprigs. Serve at once.
- MAKE AHEAD The lemon-ginger mixture can be frozen for up to 1 week.
- Cooking Club Tip: Peel ginger's thin and delicate skin by scraping down the root with a metal teaspoon. A spoon maneuvers around the nubs more easily than a pairing knife.

Former South Carolina basketball star Devan Downey signed with a pro team in Turkey, according to a website in that country.
Turkbasket.com reported that the guard inked a contract with Antalya, which also signed former Tennessee forward Wayne Chism.
Downey and Chism were teammates on the Sacramento Kings' NBA summer league team earlier this month in Las Vegas.
Downey averaged 4.8 points, 3.0 assists and 2.4 rebounds in five games for the Kings, who apparently decided to look elsewhere to fill their need for point guard depth.
The Chester native's 5-9 height makes him a long shot for the NBA, despite his college success.

Skip to comments.Analysts surprised by alleged Al Qaeda in Iran tie in Canada plot
Posted on 04/22/2013 7:29:44 PM PDT by tobyhill
Police in Canada said Monday that two men suspected of plotting to derail a passenger train were guided by Al Qaeda elements in Iran, but the statement surprised many experts who study terrorism in the Middle East and Iran.
It frankly doesnt compute for me, said Barbara Slavin, a senior fellow at the Atlantic Council. "If there is any link, I would think it was extremely tangential."
Iran and Al Qaeda have frequently had chilly relations, according to Slavin and other experts. Iran is majority Shiite, while Al Qaeda is firmly Sunni. In Syria, Al Qaeda has jumped into the fray alongside opposition fighters while Iran has backed President Bashar Assad. Iran has also held Al Qaeda members in the country under house arrest, monitoring their activities. Documents confiscated from Osama bin Laden's hide-out in Pakistan and released last year suggested discord between the two.
Canadian police said there was no reason to believe that the plotted attacks were sponsored by any state, which would mean the Iranian government was not involved. Police provided no further details regarding the alleged involvement of Al Qaeda elements in Iran in the plot.
(Excerpt) Read more at latimes.com ...
Guess that they are not really "experts".
Just one more thing that FReepers could have told the "experts." And we would have done it for free!
Islam is a bonding religion/social structure/political scheme.
Iran represses Sunnis, and has been ever since the revolution, but lets not kid ourselves who they hate more.
Khomeini backed the Soviets against the mujahideen in Afghanistan because they were against the Great Satan.
The Ayatollahs are as reliant on hatred of America as the Nazis were on hatred of Slavs and Jews.
Americans and Canadians are NOT surprised.
Canada and America CONTINUE to be attacked as
their "protectionary" agencies are infiltrated
by the Enemy.
they may have their disputes among themselves, but when it comes to jihad and terrorism directed against the US or any of the "West," they are united.
It seems everyone knows this except the experts.
the plot was busted in Canada but the train was headed for NEW YORK
so what is Barky gonna do about it?
"They cut my hands off ....and I don't why..."
Methodists and Baptists have their differences too... but both would stand against the Jim Jones "kool aid' cult... Radical Islam (both Sunni and Shiite) sees us as the Jim Jones cult - or worse.
Deny them big gulps and check ID's to see if they're old enough to smoke...
Canada and America CONTINUE to be attacked as their protectionary agencies are infiltrated by the Enemy.
Imagine a 100,000 muslim jihadi H-1Bs working in power plants, fertilizer factories, refineries, chemical manufacturers, hospitals, utilities, dams, pharmaceutical formulators, web hub server farms, municipal water supplies, sewage treatment...
The most successfull terrorist attacks are the ones that are unexpected. Virtually no defense for the unexpected.
I think so too. I don't think the Iranian government would be that stupid to flirt with suicide. They're kleptomaniacs, not maniacs and love the good life too much.
People seem to forget that in the early days of the war on terror, Iran cooperated with us on anti-Taliban operations in Afghanistan because it was in the Iranian national interest to do so.
With Iran, self-interest and survival trump "hate".
('Stolen' from dfwgator)
stupid analysts can't understanding that radical islam wants to kill who are not like them
Yup. Islam is global Scientology, with a murderous bent.
Canadians played a major role in saving our personnel in Iran during the hostage crisis. ARGO just rubbed salt in that wound and this plot would have killed both Americans and Canadians. That was my first thought when the bombs went off in Boston. What does the Marathon commemorate? The Battle of Marathon where the Persians were defeated in 490 BC.
Before Iraq War.
There is no way Saddam would work with terrorists because he is secular.
After Iraq War.
There is no way the Sunni and Shiite will ever work together on terrorism.
Only when it is in the Iranian national interest. The Iranian regime may be crooks and rabble rousers, but they don't have a death wish- the Iran-Iraq War showed that.
She must be the threat assessment director for the Boston Marathon.
Canadians played a major role in saving our personnel in Iran during the hostage crisis.
Your kind words appreciated. We now learn one of the two men apprended this manner is from Tunisia and the other from the United Arab Emirates.
I hear no praise as yet for the Royal Canadian Mounted Police and the American arm of intelligence, who worked together. Well done and thank God, we did not get another horrible jolt.
I have read Sir Edward Creasy and his "Fifteen Decisive Battles" (1851). He credits the Athenians with the great victory over Persia. He reckoned the whole of Western Civilization would have been lost with a defeat. Be that as it may, I remember one phrase from his narative. This of the Persians.
"Their arrows darkened the Sun".
Excuse the ramble but if we of the English speaking peoples "do not hang together, we will surely hang apart".
It would seem they've been studying the wrong book, doesn't it?
You say Sunni, I say Shia -— let's call the whole thing off.
The message that keeps repeating over and over again is that most of the experts cited in the daily news --- aren't.
They just have cushy forever jobs and whether they are right or wrong doesn't really matter.
What difference does it make?
Never finding what is logically obvious to the rest of us makes life easier for everybody; from the fake president down to the littlest delusional tyrant bureaucrat.
Duh! I'm really, really, really gettin' scared now. No shiite, for real.
Maybe your brain needs a software update. Or just admit you are wrong.
The Soviets actively supported Iraq against Khomeni in the decade-long Iran-Iraq War.
The two bombers in Boston can now take credit for stiring the "hornets nest" for all the terroist groups around.
I predict that there will hundreds of similar incidents happeing across the U.S. and in Canada in the not too distant future. Mexico on the other hand? Well they have their issues, like sneaking into the U.S.
Nah. The important take-away from the Boston bombings is that no group in the world was willing to take credit for the event.
They fear the drone wars.
It has taken *years* of killing leaders worldwide from the air to reach this point.
Yes they did because Iraq was a long term client state of the Soviets.
However, Iran still didn't support the Mujahideen or Islamist separatist movements in the USSR because Khomeini valued their strategic value against the US more than their animosity towards atheism.
I don't get where I'm incorrect. Iran provided no assistance to the Mujahideen, other than some tiny Shia groups in a failed attempt to export their revolution early on. Iran hated the mujahideen and the Taliban, viewing them as Pakistani oriented.
Iran even backed Armenia against Azerbaijan because the Azeris were orienting themselves towards the West and needed to be "punished".
Khomeini did not back the Soviets against the mujahideen.
Ok fine, "backed" was too strong of a word to use. However, the mujahideen were not supported by Iran either.
Seeing as how Iran is the safest place for terrorists of any stripe to hang out - well, except for the US - I'm sure some overlooking can be done.

FRESNO, Calif. (AP) - The wife of Rep. Gary Condit is suing the Star tabloid magazine for $15 million, claiming it libeled her by claiming she threatened to kill herself because of her husband's relationship with federal intern Chandra Levy.
In the lawsuit, filed Friday in U.S. District Court in Fresno, Carolyn Condit said the magazine knowingly published falsehoods in a Sept. 11, cover story, including claims that she threatened to kill herself, trashed the family house and sought counseling.
The statements "could falsely convey to the reader that (Carolyn Condit) is an intemperate hothead who will do or say anything to get the attention of her husband and who acts wildly out of control," the lawsuit said.

James Hazen- Convenience Store, Honolulu, Hawaii
October 31st, 2012
The affairs of Hawaii went on much as it always did. Slow, steady, and in James Hazen's eyes, boring as hell. You would think that the discovery of the Atlanteans would have changed something there, and you would be dead wrong. It was almost the same as when the events of September 11th hit New York, or when a new pope was appointed to the Vatican, or when the swine flu outbreak began in Mexico. Even though the events were severe and had major impacts, if they didn't occur in the area, all it was, was pass-time news. That was the sad truth of life there. People weren't concerned much with the troubles outside. Or perhaps they were concerned, but instead of confronting or addressing the problem, they figured the problem may never reach them there, and eventually the problem would somehow be corrected. And for most people, that would be alright.
But James Hazen was different. He hated this false sense of security and tranquility that existed here. He hated that nothing was taken seriously, and nothing was ever seen as a serious matter. Even the latest event was just a hiccup in these people's lives. Sometimes, James had to actually imagine things happening, just so he wouldn't drive himself crazy. It usually would be some small imagining, like a car crash at the corner of the street, or an individual holding up the store where he worked.
But lately, his imaginings grew even bolder. This began to occur after a strange tattoo appeared on his neck, one in the shape of distorted arrow, pointing outward in an unbalanced circle. It was an Atlantean tattoo. Soon after, he discovered he had an ability, just like the people in the newspapers he would read about. Now, the big news didn't seem so far away anymore. It was right here, right in front of them. None of them knew, but James intended to show them. He just needed the right sign. So for now, he simply imagined doing it, sending a spark in the convenience store where he worked, causing a light bulb to burst. Shut off the power in an office building floor, if he can manage it. For a while, that suited him. But as the desire to actually do something about it grew, so did James's patience withdraw. A boiling point would eventually be reached.
James swept the floor at the corner of the convenience store where he worked. He had no idea why he still worked there. He hated the job. The pay was crap. His boss was an a$$ hole. He assumed he needed the money, but sometimes no amount of money was worth it. Harold, James's acquaintance and coworker managed the cash register as a few customers wandered the store. Then suddenly, there was breaking news on the television which was attached to the wall on the adjacent corner to James.
"Evidence was found today that the cause of the Berlin Explosion was the work of Atlanteans. André Cabrillo, brother of Leo Cabrillo, member of the Atlantean Royal Family, was suspected to be the cause of the explosion as survivors claimed to have seen the 20 year old in the streets on Berlin that day as well as physical DNA evidence at the heart of the chaos. Other members of the Royal Family have made no comments towards his disappearance but together with the United Nations have rushed an international bill, calling all Atlanteans to register themselves and their abilities with the local Atlantean Relief Centres in all capital cities. Anybody now caught using Atlantean Abilities without being registered or carrying a registration card will face detainment.
"More on this story soon..."
"Holy sh*t, man." Harold said in his typical surfer accent. He turned to James, who had stopped sweeping and looked intently at the TV. "Can ya believe it? I mean, I heard the news, but to think that they're like, here. It's just crazy, man, ya know?"
"Yea...crazy." James said softly. He wondered what he should do. Obviously, he would have to register, or get detained. But did they really know who among them was Atlantean? He was sure nobody knew he was one. But it might be safe to do so anyways. Suddenly, the manager of the store came into the room from the back, while James and Harold still watched the TV. James hadn't noticed him come in, while Harold had, and quickly went back to work. Seeing that James wasn't doing his job, but was instead watching the TV, the manager walked up to James from behind, before slowly clearing his throat to let James know he was there.
At the sound of the throat clearing, (which James had been hearing a lot lately due to the number of times he had snuck out of work, or took longer breaks to practice his ability secretly) James's eyes snapped away from the TV and to the manager.
"Mr. Hazen, this is the second time I've had to get you back to doing your job today. What is with you? Over the past month, there's been a dozen cases of you arriving late, leaving early, not doing your job, and everything in between! What the heck is going on?"
James didn't reply. He began sweeping the area, hoping his manager would just walk away.
"Mr. Hazen, are you even listening to me?"
"Remotely...." James said quietly, continuing to sweep the floor.
"Excuse me?" The manager said, crossing his arms as he gave James a disbelieving look. Harold, as well as the rest of the customers stared back at them, wondering what was going on. This was the type of thing that caused the most attention among people in the area. It was a sad fact that for so many, this would be the highlight of their day, an argument in the convenience store. "James, I'm talking to you. Look at me when I'm talking to you!"
James sighed and stopped sweeping as he turned to the manager. "Do you mind? I'm trying to do my work..."
"Oh, now you're interested in doing work? Well if you were doing your job before, I wouldn't have to be having this unpleasant conversation with you right now."
"Listen, man. Just back off..." James said softly.
"No. You don't get to make that call. I have a business to run, and when little sh*ts like you don't do your job, it makes me lose money!"
James looked at the man irritatingly. He clenched his fists, and closed his eyes, trying to calm down. The manager continued to scream in his face.
"You think you're so special? You're nothing. Nothing but a waste of a person. If I wanted, I could fire you and hire a retard and he'd be doing a better job than you!"
James could feel his heart beating faster. A light bulb flickered for a moment above the two. Nobody noticed.
"You are a worthless piece of sh*t, and you're lucky you even have this job to begin with, and you disrespect me and think you're badass? You're just a prick who thinks he's hot stuff!"
James's breathing became more uncontrolled. Light flickered above in the store, but the manager was too busy screaming to notice.
"Why don't you do us all a favor and either get the hell outta here, or go drop dead somewhere, cause it's obvious you can't do sh*t here anymo-"
The light bulbs above all shattered, minus one which flickered on and off uncontrollably at the end of the store. The manager never had a chance to finish his sentence. It all happened so fast, even James wasn't sure what happened. He just knew he stuck out his hand to the manager's chest, and the released all his anger out through his hand. Sparks of lightning flickered around the area from the aftershock. James looked around, noticing the customers and Harold all were on the ground, their hands covering their heads, many in shock and fear. The manager lay motionless on the ground. Whether he was unconscious, or worse, James didn't know, but he didn't bother finding out. He didn't look at anyone else, but ran through the outside door. He didn't stop running, turning the street corner and heading down the first smaller street he could find, and then kept on running. A taxi cab was driving close by. James hailed it, and got inside.
"Airport." He said to him, the only words he needed to say before the taxi driver took off. Luckily, he had been prepared to leave, all of his cards and passport on him always since the day he discovered his powers, on the off chance he had to leave. Now, he had no choice. Whatever happened in Berlin was irrelevant. He didn't know what the deal was with the Atlantean Center, but knew there was no way he was going to one now, not after what he did in the store. If he got into the system and they found out about his power, they could easily trace the same power to the incident there. No, he had to get out. He didn't know where he was going, and he didn't care. All he knew was it was time for a change. A big one. This was the beginning for James Hazen.
A Legend once told me that roleplaying is about bringing people together and celebrating creative vision.

Guinea Starts Cotton Production for First Time Since 2008
Cotton production in Guinea started in May after a four-year halt, according to the country's Finance Ministry.
The West African nation produced 365 metric tons of the fiber from May to June this year, compared with 730 tons in 2008, an e-mailed report from the Conakry-based ministry showed, without giving a reason for the stoppage.
In the six months through June, palm oil output plummeted to 156 tons from 6,372 tons in the same period a year earlier, according to the statement. Coffee rose 91 percent to 29,406 tons, while cocoa fell to 8,696 tons from 20,361 tons in 2011, the ministry said in the statement.

Skip to comments.Hillary Angst ... Tina Brown
Posted on 01/03/2013 2:50:12 AM PST by Rummyfan
Washington is a wreck, and the fearless secretary of state seems like the only one with her head in the game. No wonder that medical scare left us with a case of the jitters.
The idea of losing Hillary has seemed especially unbearable at this political moment. Its as if she has become, literally, the ship of state. She stands for maturity, tenacity, and self-discipline at a time when everyone else in Washington seems to be, in more senses than one, going off a cliffa parade of bickering, blustering, small-balled hacks bollixing up the nations business. Shes a caring executive too, and that takes its own emotional toll. What a disgrace that John Bolton and his goaty Republican ilk accused Her Magnificence of inventing a concussion to get out of testifying at the Benghazi hearings. Bolton is not fit to wipe her floor with his mustache.
(Excerpt) Read more at thedailybeast.com ...
Tina Brown establishes a new standard of sycophancy.
Tina is doing a "Kathy Griffin" on Hillay....DISGUSTING.
Yeah, Hillary, take a rest. Let someone else implement obama's plan to help the Muslim Brotherhood take over the middle East and more.
Totally delusional.
Raving lunatic or blithering idiot?
What's going to happen to these people when Hillary eventually does die? Will it be like watching the funeral of a North Korean leader? (Everybody crying in the streets, with the prospect of mass suicide?)
tina is worried satan is sick.
Tina has a whole lotta brown on her nose. Disgusting. Hillary is "mature"? Nuts.
"Tina has a whole lotta brown on her nose."
A wise man once pointed out to me that the difference between a "brown noser" and an " a%# kisser" is depth perception.
I didn't know tb did satire. Obviously, she is very good at it.
Tina has a degree in journalism from the Kim Jong-il Institute (Correspondence Division).
Who was the airhead who offered to fellate William the Impeached because of his "correct" views on abortion?
Her Magnificence , theres a new one
Didn't know that tansverse sinus thrombosis was contagious, but after reading this, I sincerely suggest that Tina Brown's doctors perform a CT-scan ASAP.
The 1960s Marxist-Alinsky campus radical, psycho spoiled brats were celebrated in the establishment MSM as the most intelligent generation ever!. They are now arguably that very establishment that praised them and they hold themselves and their ideological issue in even higher regard.
The progressives' New Normal ruling elite
All those photos of her boogying down in countries around the world.. now all of a sudden serious health problems? Did the Obama White House slip a little something into Hillary's tea to keep her quiet about Benghazi? Or is she faking to avoid having to chant "I don't recall" in Congressional hearings?
'The idea of losing Hillary has seemed especially unbearable at this political moment. Its as if she has become, literally, the ship of state. She stands for maturity, tenacity, and self-discipline"
Holy crap? These people are so whacked out.....and they control the country.
When I read that particular word it made me think she was actually making fun of her under the guise of complimenting her. I did not read the entire piece, but the Brits do have an odd sense of humor & I could see it as a slap in the face to ol' Hillary.
The luny left in univision.

Well: Everybody won't be crying in the streets. Some will be buying the drinks at the local bar.
This poor ignorant Tina Brown sounds like she has been eating at the Y.
Unless, of course she had time to sober up and then everyone knew that she could walk under her own power without falling down.
She fell and broke her arm a little while ago while drunk and even needed surgery.
She was filmed visibly drunk falling while getting on a government plane in Yemen.
Drunk Hillary Falls while boarding plane in Yemen
Even Obama says she drunk texts him:

Passing out drunk during speeches:
Snoozy Hillary
Speaking while drunk:
Hillary Drunk Speech
It's interesting how liberals attribute qualities to Hillary Clinton that she has never shown any evidence of having. Like competence.
Holy ____. You're not kidding.
I just had my Chili dinner ...
again.(it tasted much better last night)
Nita Burleigh, I think.
OMG.....these people re the MOST ADMIRED in this country.....PATHETIC....AMERICA is PATHETIC.

Health Information
Radical Prostatectomy (RP)
What is a radical prostatectomy?
Radical prostatectomy is surgery to remove the prostate gland. During the procedure, the seminal vesicles, nearby tissues, and often some pelvic lymph nodes are also removed.
The prostate gland is found only in males. It sits below the bladder and wraps around the urethra (the tube that carries urine out of the body). The prostate helps make semen. The seminal vesicles are the 2 sacs that connect to the vas deferens (tubes that carry sperm from the testicles). The pelvic lymph nodes are small oval collections of immune system tissue that filter lymph fluid. When prostate cancer spreads, these lymph nodes are often one of the first places it goes.
A common way to remove the prostate is through an incision (cut) done in one of two ways:
- A retropubic or suprapubic incision, which is made in the lower abdomen (belly)
- A perineum incision, which is made in the skin between the scrotum and the rectum
Radical prostatectomy is used to treat prostate cancer that is confined to the prostate gland and the seminal vesicles. There are several ways to do a radical prostatectomy:
Radical prostatectomy with retropubic (or suprapubic) approach
This is the most common method. The incision is made in the lower abdomen. If there's a chance the cancer has spread, the healthcare provider may remove lymph nodes around the prostate gland first so they can be checked in the lab before the prostate is removed. Cancer has spread beyond the prostate gland if it's found in the lymph nodes. If that's the case, then surgery may be stopped, since removing the prostate won't remove all of the cancer. In this situation, other treatments will be used.
- Nerve-sparing prostatectomy approach. Two tiny bundles of nerves that control erection are found on each side of the prostate. If the cancer is tangled with these nerves, the nerves must be cut to remove the cancer. If both nerves are cut or removed, the man will be unable to have an erection. This won't improve over time. But, there are treatments that may help erectile function. If only one of the bundle of nerves is cut or removed, the man may have less erectile function, but will possibly have some function left. If neither nerve bundle is disturbed during surgery, function may return. Still, it sometimes takes months after surgery to know whether a full recovery will occur. This is because the nerves will need time to heal after the procedure.
Radical prostatectomy with perineal approach
Radical perineal prostatectomy is used less often than the retropubic approach. This is because the nerves can't be spared as easily, nor can lymph nodes be removed with this method. But, it takes less time and may be an option if the nerve-sparing and lymph node removal isn't needed.
With the retropubic approach, there is a smaller, hidden scar behind the scrotum for a better cosmetic effect. Also, major abdominal muscle groups are avoided. So, there's generally less pain and recovery time.
Laparoscopic radical prostatectomy
In this approach, the surgeon makes several small cuts and puts a thin tube with a video camera (laparoscope) inside one of the cuts and long, thin tools through others. The camera helps the surgeon see inside as the tools are used to do the surgery.
- Robotic-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy. Sometimes laparoscopic surgery is done using a robotic system. The surgeon moves the robotic arms while sitting at a nearby computer monitor. This procedure requires special equipment, training, and experience. Not every hospital can do robotic surgery.
Why might I need a radical prostatectomy?
Radical prostatectomy is used to treat prostate cancer. It's used when the cancer is thought to be confined to the prostate gland.
Other less common reasons for radical prostatectomy include:
- Inability to fully empty the bladder
- Recurrent bleeding from the prostate
- Bladder stones with prostate enlargement
- Very slow urination
- Increased pressure on the ureters and kidneys from urinary retention (called hydronephrosis)
There may be other reasons for your doctor to recommend a prostatectomy.
What are the risks of a radical prostatectomy?
Some possible complications of retropubic and perineal methods may include:
- Urinary incontinence. This is uncontrollable, involuntary leaking of urine, up to a year after surgery. This may get better over time.
- Urinary leakage or dribbling. This symptom is at its worst right after the surgery. It usually improves over time.
- Impotence (erectile dysfunction). Recovery of sexual function may take up to 2 years after surgery and may not be complete. Nerve-sparing prostatectomy lowers the chance of erectile dysfunction, but doesn't guarantee that it won't happen.
- Sterility. Radical prostatectomy cuts the connection between the testicles and the urethra and causes retrograde ejaculation. This results in a man being unable to naturally provide sperm for a biological child. A man may be able to have an orgasm, but there will be no ejaculate. In other words, the orgasm is "dry."
- Lymphedema. Lymphedema is a condition in which fluid collects in the soft tissues, causing swelling. This may be caused by inflammation, blockages, or removal of the lymph nodes during surgery. Although rare, if lymph nodes are removed, fluid may collect in the legs or genital region over time. Pain and swelling result. Physical therapy is often helpful in treating the effects of lymphedema.
- Change in penis length. A small percentage of surgeries will result in a shorter penis.
Some risks associated with surgery and anesthesia in general include:
- Reactions to medications used during surgery
- Bleeding
- Blood clots
- Infection
One risk of the retropubic approach is rectal injury. This can cause stool incontinence or urgency.
You may have other risks,depending on your condition. Be sure to discuss any concerns with your doctor before the procedure.
How do I get ready for a radical prostatectomy?
Some things you can expect before the surgery include:
- Your doctor will tell you about the procedure and you can ask questions.
- You'll be asked to sign a consent form that gives your permission to do the procedure. Read the form carefully and ask questions if anything isn't clear.
- Your doctor will review your medical history and do a physical exam to be sure you're in good health before you have the surgery. You may need tests to make sure the cancer is confined to the prostate and has not spread to other parts of your body.
- You'll be asked to fast (not eat or drink anything) for 8 hours before the procedure, generally after midnight.
- Tell your doctor if you're sensitive to or are allergic to any medications, latex, iodine, tape, contrast dyes, and anesthesia.
- Make sure your doctor has a list of all medicines (prescribed and over the counter) and all herbs, vitamins, and supplements that you're taking.
- Tell your doctor if you have a history of bleeding disorders or if you're taking any anticoagulant (blood-thinning) medicines, aspirin, or other medicines that affect blood clotting. You may need to stop these medicines before the surgery.
- If you smoke, top as soon as possible to improve your recovery from surgery and to improve your overall health.
- Follow all other instructions that your healthcare provider gives you.
What happens during a radical prostatectomy?
Radical prostatectomy requires a stay in the hospital. Procedures may vary depending on your condition and your doctor's practices.
Generally, a radical prostatectomy (either retropubic or perineal approach) follows this process:
- You'll need to remove any jewelry or other objects that may get in the way during the procedure. A bracelet with your name and an ID number will be put on your wrist. You may get a second bracelet if you have allergies.
- You'll remove your clothing and put on a hospital gown.
- You'll be asked to empty your bladder.
- An intravenous (IV) line will be started in your arm or hand.
- The doctor may choose regional anesthesia instead of general anesthesia. General anesthesia puts you into a deep sleep during the surgery. Regional anesthesia is medicine delivered through an epidural (in the back) to numb the area to be operated on. You'll also get medicine to help you relax and pain medications. The doctor will decide which type of anesthesia is best for you.
- Once you're sedated, a breathing tube may be put through your throat into your lungs and you'll be connected to a ventilator. This will breathe for you during the surgery.
- The anesthesiologist will closely watch your heart rate, blood pressure, breathing, and blood oxygen level during the surgery.
- A soft, flexible tube called a Foley catheter will be put into your bladder to drain urine.
- If there is a lot of hair at the surgical site, it may be shaved off.
- The skin over the surgical site will be cleaned with an antiseptic solution.
Radical prostatectomy, retropubic or suprapubic approach
- You'll lie on your back on the operating table.
- An incision will be made from below your belly button to the pubic region.
- The doctor will usually remove and check lymph nodes first. If the lymph nodes do not have cancer cells in them, the nerve bundles will carefully be separated from the prostate gland.
- The prostate gland will be removed. The seminal vesicles may also be removed.
- A drain will be put in, usually in the right lower area of the incision, to remove fluid that may build up as you heal.
Radical prostatectomy, perineal approach
- You'll lie on your back on a table that keeps your hips and knees fully bent with your legs spread apart and raised. Straps will be placed under your legs for support.
- An upside-down, U-shaped incision (cut) will be made in the perineal area (between the scrotum and the anus).
- The doctor will try to minimize any damage to the nerve bundles in the prostate area.
- The prostate gland and any abnormal-looking nearby tissue will be removed.
- The seminal vesicles may be removed if there's concern there may be cancer in them.
Procedure completion, both methods
- The incision will be sutured or stapled closed.
- A sterile bandage or dressing will be put on the site.
- The breathing tube will be taken out and you will breathe on your own.
What happens after a radical prostatectomy?
In the hospital
After the surgery, you will be taken to a recovery room to be closely watched. You'll be connected to machines that will constantly display your heart beat, blood pressure, breathing rate, and your oxygen level.
Once you're awake and stable, you may start to drink liquids and will be taken to your hospital room.
You may get pain medication as needed, either by a nurse, or by giving it yourself through a device connected to your IV line.
You will be able to eat solid foods as you're able to handle them.
Your healthcare team will show you how to do breathing exercises and movements while in bed to help your body recover. You may wear compression stockings on your legs. These reduce your risk for blood clots. Your activity will be gradually increased, and you will be urged to get out of bed and walk around for longer periods.
The drain will generally be taken out the day after surgery.
The Foley catheter that was put in to drain your urine will stay in place for about 1 to 3 weeks as you heal. You'll be given instructions on how to care for your catheter at home.
Arrangements will be made for a follow-up visit with your doctor.
At home
Once you're home, it'll be important to keep the surgical area clean and dry. Your doctor will give you specific bathing instructions. The sutures or surgical staples will be removed during a follow-up office visit, if they weren't removed before leaving the hospital.
The surgical incision may be tender or sore for several days. Take a pain reliever for soreness as recommended by your doctor.
You shouldn't drive until your doctor tells you it's OK. Other activity restrictions may apply, such as no heavy lifting for 3 to 4 weeks.
Once the Foley catheter is removed, you'll probably have some leaking of urine. The length of time this occurs can vary. Your doctor will give you suggestions for improving your bladder control. Over the next few months, you and your doctor will be checking for any side effects and working to improve any problems with incontinence or erectile dysfunction.
Tell your doctor if you have any of the following:
- Fever and/or chills (may be a sign of infection)
- Redness, swelling, or bleeding or other drainage from the incision
- Increase in pain around the incision
- Inability to have a bowel movement
- Inability to urinate once catheter is removed
- Changes in your urine output, color, or odor
Your doctor may give you other instructions after the procedure, depending on your situation.
Next stepsBefore you agree to the test or the procedure make sure you know:
- The name of the test or procedure
- The reason you are having the test or procedure
- The risks and benefits of the test or procedure
- When and where you are to have the test or procedure and who will do it
- When and how will you get the results
- How much will you have to pay for the test or procedure

|Discussion/General Information
EPs are recordings of the nervous system's electrical response to the stimulation of specific sensory pathways. These recordings have the ability to provide information relative to the functional integrity of pathways within the nervous system. Only a few EPs are used on a routine basis and those most frequently encountered include VEPs and SSEPs.
Visual Evoked Potentials (VEPs)
VEPs track signals from the retina to the visual cortex and determine how a visual system reacts to light. A common indication for VEPs is to help confirm the diagnosis of MS, or to evaluate and monitor MS. In general, myelin plaques which occur in MS slow the speed of VEP wave peaks. Over time VEPs in individuals with MS become progressively slower eventually attenuating in amplitude as demyelination increases (Creel, 2012). The American Academy of Neurology (AAN) (Gronseth, 2000) recommends VEPs as probably useful to identify those at increased risk for clinically definite MS.
VEPs have also been used for other conditions including neuromyelitis optica (NMO) or other demyelinating disorders of the optic nerves, or for a suspected disorder of the optic nerve, optic chiasm or optic radiations not explained by MRI, CT, infectious diseases or metabolic disorders.
The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) (2011) has not recommended vision screening for infants and young children. The USPSTF concludes that the current evidence is insufficient to assess the balance of benefits and harms of vision screening for children less than 3 years of age.
van Laerhoven and colleagues (2013) performed a systematic literature review to investigate the prognostic value of current clinical tests used for evaluation of long-term neurodevelopmental outcome of neonates with perinatal asphyxia and hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE). A total of 29 studies were included in the review describing 13 prognostic tests performed 1631 times in 1306 term neonates. A considerable heterogeneity was noted in test performance, cut-off values, and outcome measures. The VEP (sensitivity 0.90 [0.74-0.97]; specificity 0.92 [0.68-0.98]) was found to be one of the most promising tests. The authors concluded that although the prognostic value of the test is promising, investigation in well-designed prospective studies is needed before standardized clinical use is advocated.
Several small studies (Horn, 2012; Pillai, 2013) have investigated the use of VEP technology to differentiate between normal healthy eyes and eyes with early to advanced visual field loss resulting from glaucoma. The authors indicated that VEP signals may discriminate between normal eyes and glaucomatous eyes. However, larger studies are needed to confirm these findings. Additionally, VEP has not been shown to be as good as or superior to standard visual field testing in managing clinical outcomes for persons with glaucoma.
Somatosensory Evoked Potentials (SSEPs)
SSEPs are electrical waves that are generated by the response of sensory neurons to stimulation. An abnormal SSEP finding demonstrates that there is dysfunction within the somatosensory pathways.
SSEP studies may be useful for helping to assess the extent of injury and predict outcomes in persons with traumatic, hypoxic-ischemic and other diffuse brain injuries, who are comatose. Rothstein (2009) studied 50 comatose individuals with preserved brainstem function after cardiac arrest. A total of 23 of the 50 had bilateral absence of cortical EPs and all died without awakening. Neuropathological study in seven of those that died displayed widespread ischemic changes or frank cortical laminar necrosis. The remaining 27 had normal or delayed central conduction times with some dying without awakening or entering a persistent vegetative state. The majority of individuals with normal central conduction times had good outcomes, whereas a delay in central conduction times increased the likelihood of neurologic deficit or death. It was noted that greater use of SSEPs in anoxic-ischemic coma and severe brain trauma would identify those persons unlikely to recover.
Wijdicks and colleagues (2006) for the Quality Standards Subcommittee of the American Academy of Neurology issued a practice parameter on "Prediction of outcome in comatose survivors after cardiopulmonary resuscitation (an evidence-based review)". The authors recommended that the assessment of poor prognosis can be guided by the bilateral absence of cortical SSEPs (N20 response) within 1 to 3 days (recommendation level B).
The American Academy of Neurology (AAN) (Gronseth, 2000) recommends SSEPs as possibly useful to identify those at increased risk of for developing clinically definite MS.
Additional indications for SSEPs include: acute anoxic encephalopathy; deficit of the central nervous system identified on exam, but not explained by appropriate imaging studies; demyelinating diseases under certain conditions; unexplained myelopathy; spinocerebral degeneration (such as Friedreich's ataxia); spinal cord lesions secondary to trauma when the need for surgical intervention is uncertain; or suspected brain death.
Motor Evoked Potentials (MEPs)
MEPs evaluate motor pathways located in the anterolateral spinal tracts perfused by the anterior spinal artery. Single- or repetitive-pulse stimulation of the brain causes the spinal cord and peripheral muscles to produce neuroelectrical signals known as MEPs. In a case series, Cantello and colleagues (2001) reviewed the use of MEPs for diagnosing psychogenic or hysterical paralysis. The authors concluded that MEP studies assisted in the diagnosis of psychogenic paralysis and noted that if nerve trunks and muscles were found to be intact, a psychogenic cause for paralysis may be implied. Additionally, specialty consensus review indicates that MEPs are useful in cases of hysterical or factitious paralysis. There is a lack of peer review literature to support the use of non-operative motor evoked potentials testing for other uses.
Friedreich's ataxia: A rare genetic disease that affects the muscles and heart.
Hysterical paralysis: An uncommon psychogenic, nonorganic loss of motor function.

Cecina (meat)

|Main ingredients
|Cookbook: Cecina Media: Cecina
In Spanish, cecina [θeˈθina] means "meat that has been salted and dried by means of air, sun or smoke". The word comes either from the Latin siccus (dry) or from the Iberian ciercina related to modern Spanish cierzo or northern wind.
Cecina is similar to ham and is made by curing beef, horse or (less frequently) goat, rabbit, or hare. The best known cecina is Cecina de León, which is made of the hind legs of beef, salted, smoked and air-dried in the province of León in northwestern Spain, and has PGI status.
Latin America[edit]
The word cecina is also used to name other kinds of dried or cured meat in Latin America.
In Mexico, most cecina is of two kinds: sheets of marinated beef, and a pork cut that is sliced or butterflied thin and coated with chili pepper (this type is called cecina enchilada or carne enchilada).[1] The beef version is salted and marinated and laid to dry somewhat in the sun. The marinated beef version can be consumed uncooked, similar to prosciutto. The pork "cecina enchilada" must be cooked before consumption. The town of Yecapixtla is well known for its version of the dish, which varies from region to region.[2]

We know, we know. Tribute nights. They're everywhere. Whether you like them or not, a tribute night has probably become something of a non-event in your book. Or maybe Hiss & Vinegar are the only ones who regard them as a lower form of entertainment. Oh, and the Night Avenger, she freaking hates the things. But there is a marked difference between a night zig-zagging from "Candle in the Wind" to "Crocodile Rock" and one spent re-creating and exploring one of the late-20th's most important albums in its entirety.
Especially when that album is Herbie Hancock's Head Hunters, which took jazz fusion to funkier terrain and changed the way people talk about that low-lit genre. Just listen to Porterhouse's Joe Porter talk about the upcoming tribute he's organized to Herbie Hancock and the Headhunters' first three albums.
"If you're a jazzer, you can't just be out there doing 'Caravan' and 'Autumn Leaves' and 'Girl from Ipanema' and shit like that all the time," he says. "It's gotta be--you gotta have your nuts attached, you know what I'm saying?"
Oh, we know exactly what you're saying, Joe. As plainspoken as his phrasing is, Porter gets down to what made Head Hunters, and Hancock's two follow-ups, Thrust and Man-child, such important albums. To take the funk of Sly and the Family Stone and the nontraditional synthesizer and apply them to jazz was at high risk of becoming a disaster in fusion. What Hancock came out with was a progenitor to the funk of the Commodores and Parliament, funk that respected the spaces between the notes and reverberated with the rhythmic intensity of rock and roll. It worked, and it helped turn a new crowd onto what is usually cast as a music for the cultural elite.
Eighteen years after its 1973 release, the chunky synth bass line of Head Hunters' "Chameleon" took a then-19-year-old Porter from the grips of classic rock and delivered him to the beauty of jazz. Now, Porter hopes it will do the same for Portland listeners who come to hear his band perform all three albums in their entirety on Saturday at the Fez Ballroom.
"That's why we're trying to present this whole three or four years of Herbie's career to everybody, 'cause I'm hoping everybody's like, 'Oh, man, that was great. And if they made it sound like that, imagine what Herbie did,'" says Porter, his eyes brightening. "And they'll go out and buy Herbie's record. And it'll change their life like it changed my life. You know? And then they'll be like: 'Oh, I like jazz.'"
The Tribute to Herbie Hancock and the Headhunters will take place Saturday, Oct. 11, at the Fez Ballroom, 316 SW 11th Ave., 221-7262 ext. 41. 9 pm. $10. 21+.
