Good frying pan
I would like some suggestions for a decent frying pan, I use the pan for a lot of my cooking. I fry all meat, bacon, eggs, onions, mushroom, make sauces after cooking meat and generally use the pan for everything i decide to fry.
I would like an oven safe pan, and would like it to be under �50 if possible.
Any ideas?

Re: Good frying pan
We have a number of different pans for different purposes. A small and large pair of plain old frying pans. A heavy bottomed non-stick (Pyrex) a heavy bottomed pan with a dimpled finish and a cast iron pan. We also have a Griddle Pan (again Pyrex)
On the non stick side, I tend to buy a reasonable quality product - much depends on what is available when I am buying. I've found that most will wear out over time regardless of how well you treat them.
Our current non-stick is about ready for replacement, my thoughts are to buy a pan capable of being put into the oven, so the handles need to work for that. We tend to use the regular non-stick pans the most, though we use a stove top convection oven for cooking meats and rarely fry meat.
We also have a number of woks we use for certain types of frying.
I like the look of the pan in this set:

or this:
http://www.tefal.co.uk/All+Products/Coo … odised.htm
Availability and pricing will determine whether or not we actually buy either. We tend to buy from outside of Cyprus as things can be way cheaper elsewhere, even with the shipping. Prices do vary between the different Amazon sites, we've used UK, Germany and Spain. Amazon.es can be better pricing and have the best delivery times, though the product ranges are limited. Germany has the worst delivery times to us with the UK somewhere in the middle.
What is really stupid though is that most of the stuff from Amazon gets shipped from Germany anyway, regardless of where we order from - the only difference is how/when it gets delivered.

Re: Good frying pan
The best nonstick frying pan that I have had in a long time has been a WMF one . I have now had this pan for a number of years and it has successfully put up with the abuse that my husband puts it through !!!
My darling thinks that the only way to fry things is over a mega heat and never thinks to adjust the temperature !
I have to say that this pan was expensive but I would buy another one again someday .

Re: Good frying pan
I would get a couple, a small tefal non stick for your eggs/ommelettes/pancakes and a heavy duty stainless steel (Not non stick) say 28cm diameter, for hob/oven use, and the meat cuts.

Re: Good frying pan
I've owned teflon coated pans that cover a large number of brands that range in price from expensive to dirt cheap. They all seem to last the about same amount of time before a replacement is needed. Of course, I do have the same problem as Mummza... my wife doesn't seem to grasp the concept of controlling the heat. Medium, medium MEDIUM!!!!!

Re: Good frying pan
I am a function over form kinda guy, so my recommendation is well seasoned good cast iron and black steel pans. These aren't pretty, like shiny stainless but they work well, take a beating and are cheap to replace. I prefer cast iron, but black steel gives you a more responsive pan for when you need to change temps fast. If you absolutely just have to have a non-stick, get one with the new ceramic non-stick coatings.

Le Crueset enameled cast iron - one of my favorite skillets - easy to clean, heats evenly and holds heat well.

Re: Good frying pan
Thanks everyone for the suggestions.
Much appreciated. That's my problem at the minute, the tefal pan i bought in tesco, �18 or something, has gone to the dumps, maybe because i use it for everything and anything.
Another question - Is Stainless steel good for cooking meats? Is it not a sticky base, burn food easily and what not?
Thanks again for the reply's.

Two were sent out two days before the byelections were called and could not be stopped, despite what Cote says were 'genuine efforts' by the NDP to recall them
Two people, including a cousin of Conservative MP Dean Del Mastro, are facing charges in connection with donations made to Del Mastro's 2008 election campaign
The long-awaited report from Yves Cote lays out what he calls the difficulties that investigators faced in gathering evidence in ridings other than Guelph, Ont.
Federal prosecutors are considering laying charges over expenses claimed by Conservative MP Dean Del Mastro's campaign during the 2008 election.
After more than 21 months of investigation Yves Cote has recommended laying charges over the election day robocalls sent to voters in Guelph in 2011

Three Designs For Livingby
Clear Classics Intellivent food-storage system
Icy Rider sled
Little Green portable cleaner
Designers: Rubbermaid Inc., Bissel Inc.
Call it Wal-Mart design. One of the basic truths of design in the U.S., and increasingly, in Europe and Asia, is the need to design products for distributors, not just customers. Distributors have their needs and requirements that often differ from a product's ultimate end-user. And they have clout.
America's Wal-Mart Stores Inc. is the biggest distributor anywhere. It is the largest single customer of product in the world, and it has its own special design parameters. Wal-Mart makes its profit on traffic and wants as many products as possible to say "buy me" as people pass by. Of course, there are many sections in a store, selling many kinds of products, including some that carry high prices. But since space is at a premium, Wal-Mart loves products designed to fit 14-by-14-inch shelves. And it especially likes products that cost less than $20.
Rubbermaid Inc.'s Clear Classics Intellivent System of food-storage containers is pure Wal-Mart design. The winner comes in four sizes, from one pint to 3.5 quarts, that fit easily onto shelves. The price is right, from $4.99 to $8.99. These products hit another Wal-Mart design button: They look good. In addition, they have an innovative steam vent that allows food to travel from the freezer to the microwave to the table without removing the lid. (Ergo, no splattering in the microwave.)
Of course, not all products sold in Wal-Mart can fit into 14-by-14 shelving. But if designers create them to stack and save space, they have a shot at selling to Wal-Mart. Rubbermaid's Icy Rider sled fits that bill.
After field research, a competitive product analysis, and consumer focus groups, Rubbermaid discovered that parents ride down the hill with their children, and kids slide down with friends, but people rarely use sleds alone. So Rubbermaid designed one to meet these needs. Its design features a seat big enough for two, molded handles, and steering. Lastly, after researching Wal-Mart's needs, Rubbermaid made the Icy Rider thin and stackable.
Bissell Inc.'s Little Green portable vacuum cleaner is designed to communicate to the shopper walking the aisles that it's easy to carry and use. It's for people who want a lightweight (9.9 pounds) liquid cleaner
for carpets, cars, and furniture. It sells for $79 to $99.
Rubbermaid's food-storage containers and sled and Bissell's vacuum were all designed with distributor and customer in mind. Size, price, looks, and features were equally important. These bronze winners show that designing for the masses is every bit as complex as designing for the elite. And perhaps, just as rewarding.

Manchester United's defender Chris Smalling has apologised for an "insensitive decision" after appearing to attend a fancy dress party as a suicide bomber.
A photograph of Smalling in his fancy dress, which his management company said was taken at a private party in his home, was on the front page of Thursday's editions of the Sun.
It shows the England international with items looking like a mock circuit board and mobile phone around his chest, and cables leading up his body. Also on his body are bottles of Jagermeister and cans of Red Bull, while he is also wearing an Arab kaffiyeh head dress.
Smalling's management group said the outfit was an elaborate pun on the popular 'Jagerbomb' which is a blend of those two drinks.
"Chris and his girlfriend hosted a fancy dress party to celebrate Christmas and their belated birthdays with close friends in the assumed privacy of his own home," Wasserman Media Group said in a statement. "He dressed in a costume consisting of empty bottles of Jagermesiter and cans of Red Bull strapped to his chest in an attempted comedy play on the popular 'Jagerbomb drink'.
"Although he fully accepts in hindsight it was an ill-thought out and insensitive decision, absolutely no harm was intended whatsoever and he apologises for any offence caused."
United declined to comment.

If your ATAR is likely to be more in the region of 81.00 to 90.95, there's still a good chance you could get in. We strongly encourage you to put in an application for an interview under the Faculty of Engineering Admissions Scheme, or FEAS.
At the interview, you'll have the opportunity to meet with Engineering academics, exchange information with them and show them your passion and suitability for studying engineering at UNSW.
Find out more about entry via FEAS.
Entry via ATAR + HSC Plus bonus points

I had ran across a blog a while back that had a pic of an old satellite dish used as the roof of a gazebo! Well I have been on the hunt for one and finally found one on Craigslist! It has been in our yard waiting patiently to be transformed! Well that day finally came! I started painting and my hubby started digging the holes for the poles! Still need more white paint, but it is a start! We are going to put a concrete floor and banisters all around as well as benches! I am so excited! It is close to where we laid our sweet Maverick to rest.
Here are some pics. I look awful, but I was off and didn't want to put on make up to do yard work! LOL
On another note, I just had my 6 month check up and it didn't go too well. I got sick during the CT scan. My youngest daughter went with me. I don't know how I drove home that day. I had such a terrible headache to boot too. I think it was from not having my morning coffee. I had my tests done on the 15th and find out the results on the 27th. My hubby always goes with me for those. Say a prayer for me if you could! Love n (((HUGZ))) Nutter

Welcome to Online Rakhi Gifts.com
Online Raksha Bandhan Store
Raksha Bandhan has been celebrated in India since times immemorial. We hear about the tying of Rakhi, and the power of the love between brothers and sister, in a number of mythological and historical stories. Many believe that this beautiful festival started when Lord Indra's wife tied a sacred thread around his wrist to protect him in the war against demons.
Draupadi tying a cloth around Lord Krishna's bleeding hand in the battlefield is also a famous incident. Similar historical incident involving Rani Karnavati and Mughal Emperor Humayun underlines the strength of bond a rakhi can create. Today, Raksha Bandhan is celebrated all over India and Nepal on the full moon day of Shraavana (fifth month of Hindu calendar).
'Rakhi' tied around the right wrist of the brothers, is the central symbol of love and protection. It is the external manifestation of the sister's love and affection towards her brother. On the day of Raksha Bandhan, the everyone get up early in the morning, takes a bath, wears beautiful clothes, and visits the temple.
The sister ties the rakhi on her brother's right hand, and the brother gives her money or gifts and promises to protect her. Rakhi is a unique Indian festival that celebrates the sacred bond of love between sisters and brothers; there is no other festival in the world that equals to Rakhi.
Just a few decades ago, most people used colourful cotton or silk threads in place of rakhi. While a number of artistic rakhis were available even at that time, only the rich could afford metal and Zardosi rakhis. But today people can choose between hundreds of varieties of rakhees. Rakhi with dry fruits, pearl rakhi, diamond rakhi, rakhi with chocolates, rakhi with sweets, kid's rakhi hampers, bracelet rakhi, Lumba rakhi, Mauli rakhi, Zardosi rakhi and a number of decorative rakhi sets are available in the market at affordable rates.
The trend of buying rakhi online has become very prevalent owing to the vast varieties of rakhis available online and the heavy discounts given by online stores. Not only do you get several types of Rakhis, but you get a number of gifts related to Raksha Bandhan. An increasingly large number of sisters choose online Rakhsa Bandhan gifts and do their rakhee shopping online as they can get everything in one place.
Whether you need material for Rakhee thalis, buy rare rakhis, shop for rakhi gift hampers, or send rakhi to USA or India, this is the best place to do your online Raksha Bandhan shopping. Everything you need is just a few clicks away, and we have special collections of Rakhis to make your Raksha Bandhan 2013 celebrations special!

Steamboat Springs Steamboat Springs High School volleyball coach Wendy Hall wouldn't go as far as saying she was glued to her computer the past week.

- Nov. 2: Season ends as Steamboat volleyball falls just short in regionals
But inevitably, one of the first windows brought up in the browser was www.maxpreps.com, which she refreshed periodically to see if standings had changed.
The site determined the 36 Class 4A volleyball teams that qualified for 12 regional pools this weekend.
On Tuesday, Steamboat found out it had come in as the 31st seed.
The team will join a three-team pool with overall No. 6 seed and host Montrose. Mountain View, seeded 19th, will round out the region.
"I was trying not to be obsessed over it," Hall said. "But I've followed it the last couple weeks. We dropped a little further than I was expecting."
The region sets up with one winner advancing to the state tournament.
Steamboat opens play at 10 a.m. Saturday against Montrose. The team then plays at noon against Mountain View.
Montrose went 19-4 on the season and has several wins against Western Slope teams including Battle Mountain, Eagle Valley, Palisade and Delta.
Mountain View went 14-9.
"We have good momentum right now," Hall said. "We're playing our best volleyball of the season right now. Our team has showed a ton of growth in play and in their maturity. They handle tougher situations better and their trust level has grown."
Hall is familiar with Montrose, having coached with Indians coach Shane Forrest during all-state games in the past. Hall said Montrose is an athletic team with multiple offensive weapons. Although Steamboat has been able to lean on its defense throughout the year, Hall said getting blocks and tips at the net will be key against Montrose.
Hall didn't know much about Mountain View, but to get through the region, Steamboat almost assuredly needs a win against Montrose.
The good thing, Hall said, is that Steamboat enters tournament play with little outside expectations. She has encouraged her team this week to play loose and let things fall where they may.
"It's actually a really stressful place to be the No. 1 seed," Hall said. "It's been awhile, but we've been there before. It's a stressful week when everyone expects you to go on.
"They're not going to overlook us. Their kids will be ready to play. But I do feel like we have nothing to lose and everything to gain."
Western Slope League champion Battle Mountain was the highest seeded team from the area, earning the right to host a region as the No. 5 overall seed.

A woman who spent 50 minutes screaming in agony waiting for an ambulance after dislocating her knee has won £522,379 damages.
Ceri Leigh, 50, had post traumatic stress disorder after the incident on a London bus in 2008 and was medically retired from the Natural History Museum.
Every additional minute added to the trauma of her experience until she felt "utter despair", said Mr Justice Globe at London's High Court.
Mrs Leigh said she felt trapped, was shaking violently, became unable to hold her mind together, remembered "no longer knowing who she was" and went "into a freeze".
The judge, who witnessed a seizure when Mrs Leigh gave evidence by video-link, said that the delay made a "material contribution" to the development of her PTSD.
"There are innumerable variables in the circumstances that will give rise to the development of such a disorder and in the people who are likely to suffer it," he said.
"It is impossible to predict on any scientific or mathematical basis the moment after which someone will go on to suffer it."
In the High Court , ambulance bosses admitted a 17-minute negligent delay.

The pre-season questions posed over McLaren's unique rear
wing concept smacks of the fuss made over Brawn's double diffuser last year -
but what's it all about, and will it make such a difference?
There's no smoke without fire, and the fact that several
teams have called for a clarification over the design treatment at the rear end
of the new McLaren means the team has simply created a clever concept or
discovered a new loophole that others failed to spot.
Last year, Brawn got the jump on their rivals by spotting
a gap in the regulations that allowed the double diffuser - and while their
concept met the letter of the law, other teams felt the design pushed the
spirit boundaries to the limit. Brawn broached the subject previously, trying
to ban it because he knew what would happen, but he failed and so he ran with the
double diffuser and they became standard equipment.
McLaren's innovation, it seems, is a similar matter. They
have cleared it with the FIA once already, but just as happened with the double
diffuser, the design is under investigation as the teams head to the opening
race of the year.
But what have they done?
The design, according to popular perception, revolves
around the concept of aerodynamic stall.
Racecar wings work because the shape forces air to flow
faster under the element than it does over the top, creating a pressure differential
and a downwards force. Steeper wing angles create more downforce but only to a
certain point, after which the flow underneath separates from the surface and
becomes turbulent, slowing down and ruining the downforce. To stop this, the
rear wings on an F1 car use two elements with a gap between them to allow air
to merge in and regenerate the underside flow, allowing it to flow at greater
angles before it separates and stalls.
With high downforce, however, comes high induced drag
that slows the car down - and it is here where McLaren's concept is understood to
be focused.
It appears the McLaren has a flow channel in which air
enters at the top of the airbox above the driver's head and travels through the
inside of the engine cover all the way into the upper plain of the rear wing,
where it exits through a slot gap at the rear. In theory, this would inject
additional air into the underside flow on the rear wing, allowing the air to
stay attached on the steeply angled wing.
If the flow through this gap could somehow be stopped at
high speeds on the straights, then the underside flow would become turbulent
and the drag would drop. If this is, indeed, the concept, the only way it could
be done is without a moveable aid (as these are banned), and without that any
design that enables it to work
only on straights and not on high speed corners would be a real design
And the big gain to all of this?
With refuelling banned, fuel efficiency is a real focus
this season - and with drag having to be overcome by fuel-sapping engine power,
if the drag can be reduced the engines can run leaner and fuel will last
longer. And that could be a crucial factor in race strategy.
Of course, it could be much simpler that that, but until
the teams work out the concept behind it, their only solution is to protest and
see if they can get it outlawed...

A motorcyclist in Belarus is counting his lucky stars after dashcam footage caught him surviving a crash.
The Suzuki he was riding was reportedly travelling at 85km/h (52 mph) at the time of the collision, which makes his survival all the more remarkable.
"He was incredibly lucky," local government spokesman Eugene Zilina told local newspaper Nasha Niva. The crash took place on a bridge over the Dnieper River, and despite taking place on July 30, the video was only just posted online overnight.

To understand the expectations of the Career Awards at the Scientific Interface program, it is important to read the eligibility requirements below, in addition to the proposal elements, terms of grant, and selection criteria prior to taking the eligibility quiz. If eligible, you will automatically be directed to a log-in page on BWF's Grant Application System where you will begin the preproposal. You will be notified upon conclusion of the quiz if you are not eligible to apply. The FAQs may also provide eligibility clarification.
Candidates are expected to draw from their training in a scientific field other than biology to propose innovative approaches to answer important questions in the biological sciences. Examples of approaches include, but are not limited to, physical measurement of biological phenomena, computer simulation of complex processes in physiological systems, mathematical modeling of self-organizing behavior, building probabilistic tools for medical diagnosis, developing novel imaging tools or biosensors, developing or applying nanotechnology to manipulate cellular systems, predicting cellular responses to topological clues and mechanical forces, and developing a new conceptual understanding of the complexity of living organisms. Proposals that include experimental validation of theoretical models are particularly encouraged.
In addition:
- Candidates meeting the objectives and eligibility requirements may self-nominate by submitting the required preproposal application by the posted deadline.
- Candidates must hold a Ph.D. degree in one of the fields of mathematics, physics, chemistry, computer science, statistics, or engineering. This includes related areas of physical, mathematical, computational, theoretical, and engineering science. Exceptions will be made only if the applicant can demonstrate significant expertise in one of these areas, evidenced by publications, undergraduate major, or master's degree.
- Candidates whose Ph.D. is in biochemistry/biophysics/biology/cell biology/etc. may be eligible if significant accomplishment or competence in one of those areas can be shown (i.e., papers published, advanced coursework, or undergraduate major), and if the proposal draws on that background. Work must be interdisciplinary and making use of non-biological approaches.
- Candidates who meet the other eligibility criteria must demonstrate that their work is truly interdisciplinary.
- Candidates who hold an M.D. are eligible to apply if they hold both an M.D. and a Ph.D., and the Ph.D. is in one of the fields of mathematics, physics, chemistry, computer science, statistics, or engineering. This includes related areas of physical and computational science. Exceptions will be made only if the applicant can demonstrate significant expertise in one these areas, evidenced by publications, undergraduate major, or master's degree. In addition, the applicant cannot have spent more than 48 months in postdoctoral research since receipt of a Ph.D. If the candidate holds an M.D. without also holding a Ph.D., the candidate is not eligible to apply to this program.
- Candidates must have completed at least 12 months but not more than 48 months of postdoctoral research by the date of the full invited application deadline. If your entire work experience since receiving your Ph.D. has been in any scientific research field (including outside academia) and exceeds 48 months, you are not eligible. However, if part of your work experience was not in a science research field, and your scientific work experience doesn't exceed 48 months, you are eligible. No exceptions to this requirement will be made.
- Candidates who are not titled "postdoctoral" fellows may be eligible if (1) you have at least 12 months, but not more than 48 months of postdoctoral research experience, including time as, for example, an instructor, research associate, or non-tenure track research faculty, and (2) you meet all other eligibility requirements.
- Candidates may use either the date of their Ph.D. defense or the date their degree was conferred by the institution in determining the date they received their Ph.D.
- Candidates cannot hold nor have accepted, either in writing or verbally, a faculty appointment as a tenure-track assistant professor at the time of application - both preproposal and full application. This award cannot be made to a tenure-track faculty member because it is a transition award. If you are planning to start a faculty position before the award beings you are not eligible to apply.
- Candidates must be committed to a full-time career in research as an independent investigator at a North American degree-granting institution.
- Candidates must have at least one first-author publication; including papers on which "first authorship" is shared. Candidates who have submitted a first-author manuscript from graduate or undergraduate studies but it has not yet been published may apply if the manuscript is accepted for publication or in press - otherwise you are not eligible.
- A candidate's primary postdoctoral mentor must hold an appointment at an accredited, degree-granting institution in the U.S. or Canada. Two postdoc mentors are permitted; one must be designated as the primary mentor who will sign off on the preproposal application form. Mentors or institutions may not be changed after submitting a preproposal. Candidates moving to a new institution after submitting the preproposal will not be able to submit a full application, even if invited to do so.
- Candidates must be based at a non-profit institution [501(c)(3) or equivalent] in the U.S. or Canada. A 501(c)(3) organization is an American tax-exempt, nonprofit organization. Candidates should check with their institutional officials to confirm the institution's classification.
- Candidates must not hold nor have accepted a K99 award from the U.S. National Institutes of Health.
- Candidates with a K01 award from the NIH may apply for this award as long as they meet all the remaining criteria, however, if granted a CASI award, the NIH will need to fund the postdoc portion and BWF will only fund the faculty portion of the award.
- Citizens and non-citizen permanent residents of the U.S. and Canada are eligible.
- Temporary residents of the U.S. are eligible.
- Temporary residents of Canada are not eligible.
- Candidates who are temporary U.S. residents and hold a valid U.S. visa that allows you to remain in the U.S. during the postdoctoral period of the grant are eligible to apply. Candidates who hold a J-1, H1B, F-1 visas - as long as your visa is valid and will allow you to remain in the U.S. during the postdoctoral period of the grant, are eligible. If a grant is awarded and your visa does not allow for such a stay, BWF may terminate the grant. BWF will not intercede on behalf of non-citizens whose stay in the U.S. may be limited by their visa status. If you are invited to submit a full application, your institution must verify your immigration status as part of your application.
- Candidates may not submit more than one preproposal.
- Candidates with questions about their eligibility must contact BWF in advance of the proposal deadline. BWF will make no exceptions to its policies.
- Candidates may apply from the U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH) or HHMI's Janelia Farm Research Campus, with the same restrictions listed above. The NIH/Janelia Farm will support these award recipients during the postdoctoral years, and BWF will support them for the faculty portion of the award only, for a total of $360,000.
- Candidates who are postdocs at an independent research institute may be eligible if your research institute is a non-profit institution (501(c)(3) or equivalent) in the U.S. or Canada and your primary postdoctoral mentor holds an appointment at an accredited, degree-granting institution in the U.S. or Canada. If both criteria are met, you are eligible to apply. With the exception of eligible postdoctoral fellows at the National Institutes of Health, preproposals will not be accepted from federal facilities. These policies are non-negotiable.
During the postdoctoral and faculty periods,
- Grants must be made to non-profit institutions [501(c)(3) or equivalent] in the U.S. or Canada on behalf of the award recipient.

In case you haven't recently ventured outside one of Mississippi's relatively few urban areas, please be reminded that Mississippi is a very rural state – very, very rural indeed. Hence the great significance of work by the Mississippi Rural Health Association, which just hosted its 17th Annual Conference over two days at the Jackson Hilton.
Produced by the College of Health through a management contract with MRHA (kudos to Mr. Ryan Kelly and his crack team of organizers for their superb job), the conference packed a real punch both from educational and professional networking perspectives.
Unfortunately, as detailed by expert presenters from celebrity doc Rick deShazo, to Therese Hanna of the Center for Mississippi Health Policy, and Brock Slabach of the National Rural Health Association, the health needs of rural Mississippians are great, complex, and growing. Worse, scarce resources at both federal and state levels are exposed to new threats by sequestration, the general fiscal crisis, and legislative gridlock in Washington. A panel of Mississippi legislators, including the eminently pragmatic USM alum Toby Barker, could offer little hope on the funding front. The Mississippi economy is in the tank, and the prospect of expanding Medicaid under the Affordable Care Act sends shivers up legislative spines for fear of the eventual costs.
There are rays of hope here and there. For the moment, at least, Mississippi's network of rural hospitals and clinics remains functional. Promising prevention and wellness programs are popping up with increasing frequency. Providers, planners and policy makers remain passionate in their mission to address rural health care needs.
But there is so, so much work to be done in this very, very rural state.

Talk Doesn't Come Cheap
Gardiner Harris has an article in today's New York Times called "Talk Doesn't Pay So Psychiatrists Turn to Drug Therapy." The article is a twist on an old Shrink Rap topic--Why your Shrink Doesn't Take Your Insurance. Only in this article, the shrink does take your insurance, he just doesn't talk to you.
With his life and second marriage falling apart, the man said he needed help. But the psychiatrist, Dr. Donald Levin, stopped him and said: "Hold it. I'm not your therapist. I could adjust your medications, but I don't think that's appropriate."
Ah, Dr. Levin sees 40 patients a day. And the doc is 68 years old. This guy is amazing, there is no way I could see 40 patients a day for even one day. He's worried about his retirement, but I wouldn't make it to retirement at that pace. Should we take a bet on whether Dr. Levin has a blog?
So the article has a whimsical, oh-but-for-the-good-old-days tone. In-and-out psychiatry based on prescribing medications for psychiatric disorders is bad, but the article doesn't say why. In the vignettes, the patients get better and they like the psychiatrist. Maybe medications work and psychotherapy was over-emphasized in the days of old? The patients don't complain of being short-changed, and if Dr. Levin can get 40 patients a day better for ---your guess is as good as mine, but let's say-- $60 a pop and they only have to come every one to three months, and there's a shortage of psychiatrists, then what's the problem? Why in the world would anyone pay to have regular psychotherapy sessions with the likes of someone like me?
After my post last week about The Patient Who Didn't Like the Doc. On Line , I'm a bit skeptical about on-line reviews. Still, I Googled the psychiatrist in the story, and the on-line reviews are not as uniformly positive as those given by the patients who spoke to Mr. Harris. Some were scathing, and they complained about how little time he spends with them. In all fairness, others were glowing.
The article makes psychiatrists sound like money-hungry, unfeeling, uncaring, sociopaths. Either they're charging $600 a session (...oh, can I have that job?) or the financial aspect is so important that they're completely compromising their values for the sake of a buck. This doctor believes that patients get the best care when they receive psychotherapy, and the rendition Mr. Harris gives is that it's understandable that he's compromised his values to maintain a certain income. I don't buy it and I don't think it portrays psychiatrists accurately or favorably. If the doctor felt that it was the high ground to give treatment to 40 patients a day who otherwise couldn't get care, then this portrayal wouldn't be so bad. And that may be the case---I don't know him and I don't know Mr. Harris and I do know that an occasional reporter has been known to slant a story. I found it odd that there were no other options here aside from 4 patients/hour, 10 hours/day, not to mention the 20 emergency phone calls a day that he manages in the midst of all the chaos. Why hasn't this doctor left the insurance networks and gone to a fee-for-service model with a low volume practice if psychotherapy is what he enjoys and what he feels is best? Or why doesn't he devote an hour or two a day to psychotherapy? Okay, I shouldn't rag on the poor doc, I only know him through a newspaper portrayal, but I don't think this article showed psychiatry at its finest hour. And yes, I know there are psychiatrists out there who have very high volume practices.

I notice when I play both my LP and my strat for an extended period of time, my hand sticks to the back of the neck, and kind of drags when changing positions.
I know this would destroy any re-sale value, but what would I use to sand down the neck to give it more of a satin finish? I was thinking steel wool followed by some extremely fine grit wet sanding, then oiling the neck over and over.
any ideas?

Remembering Harris Goldsmith
We've learned that music critic and pianist Harris Goldsmith died earlier this month in a Manhattan hospital. He was 78.
Goldsmith, who set aside a pianistic career to write for "High Fidelity" magazine in the heyday of the classical LP, became a familiar and influential critical voice for music lovers in the 50s and 60s, and could be spotted almost any night of the week in the press section of one or another of the New York concert halls, listening intently and then expounding to his colleagues on the music. Later he did finally have a pianistic debut in Town Hall.
He was a charming and wonderfully eccentric gentleman who traveled to WNYC in blizzard conditions, years ago, to be interviewed for a profile, "The Critic," on the occasion of the release of some of his piano performances on CD. Sometime earlier, we recorded his thoughts on the pianist Sviatoslav Richter. In both pieces he is entertaining, erudite –and you can feel his intense enthusiasm threatening to overflow at every moment.
We are sad to see him go.

When it comes to cricket, Rees Uerata is a man who stands out. Towering at 185cm and 125kg, Uerata can be a menace with both bat and ball.
As a batsman, the 32-year-old knows only one way, all or nothing. The hard-hitting right-hander has a good eye and usually has no trouble finding the boundary. Uerata has opened the batting for Central in the past but this year, his first as captain, he has elected to bat middle to lower order.
Rightly so, when you consider the team has lost only two games this season with most of their top order scoring half-centuries and setting reasonable totals for their bowlers to defend.
When it comes to bowling, Uerata's right-arm medium-pacers have also help his side eke out the odd wicket when they have needed it.
Although his side were beaten by the Taupo Wanderers in their last round of the Rotorua Reserve Grade limited-overs competition, they managed to win the Rotorua T20 competition, something he said has fired up in his team.
"We had quite a good night after that last win and for some of those young fellas, they've never actually won a round before and so for them they just can't wait to get started for the next [round] and move forward."
The reserve grade gets underway again this Saturday with a limited-overs series minus the college team. Uerata said the team were keen to continue their winning ways.
Uerata, a childcare worker at Rotorua's Early birds Educare Kea Centre, said it was important for the team not to get complacent in the second half of the season and he was expecting his senior members to step up over the next few weeks.
"I just think when it comes down to it, we've got some pretty good guys [in the team]. But there are some weeks, as it showed in the last round, if guys are unavailable through work it really puts a lot of pressure on some of the other senior guys.
"When you're playing with half [of your regular team], it can make it really difficult and I think it showed. But when everyone is there, we can beat anybody. But that would go for most teams in this competition."
Uerata said the first half of the competition showed any of the teams were capable of winning the next round.
The college sides will now play in the college Baywide competition while the four senior teams - Central, Indians, Geyser City and Taupo Wanderers - will play a round robin series.
Uerata said he was keen to see the college teams return to play against the senior sides.
"It definitely showed with the high schools coming in that there is not a big gap between the senior reserves and the high school teams. So I think having them play [at our level] will only build cricket in Rotorua ... they are competitive so hopefully once they leave school they know there are some great clubs in Rotorua and they come and play."
The Post Rotorua Senior Reserves draw for this Saturday will see Central take on Geyser while the Indians will play Taupo Wanderers. Both matches are at Ray Boord Park from 12.30pm.

By Michael McCarthy, USA TODAY
CBSSports.com's NCAA March Madness on Demand, and its popular "Boss Button," return with live streaming of opening round games on Thursday, March 19.
Ever year, CBS helpfully provides millions of at-work viewers with a Boss Button that will show a fake spreadsheet if a nosy supervisor is looking over their shoulder. There were a record 2.5 million-plus clicks on the button in 2008. This year, it will be brought to you by its first official sponsor: Comcast.
Given the millions of jobs lost during the recession, Jason Kint, general manager of CBSSports.com, wouldn't be surprised if some worried supervisors reach for the button themselves.
"I bet you a lot of bosses will click it too," Kint says.
Kint's asked frequently if killjoy employers block the free service. Some do that on their own. But he says no companies have ever inquired with CBS on how to block it (although there's information about it on the March Madness on Demand website). That could change during the worst economic climate in decades.
"Even in a tough market we can all use a little break from the grind of the current economy," Kint says. "I'm hopeful that will continue. And people will look at March Madness on Demand as a positive."
Kint estimates the number of unique viewers in 2009 will rise 50% to 7.2 million. In 2008, the number of unique viewers grew 164% to 4.8 million. The total hours of live video/audio consumed grew 81% last year to 5 million hours.
Does March Madness on Demand cannibalize CBS' TV audiences? The network says no. Not surprisingly, the service gets its biggest audience for the Thursday-Friday first round games when many viewers are at work. The numbers then fall steadily while CBS' TV audiences take off.
Barkley starts jail sentence:
TNT basketball analyst Charles Barkley began serving his three-day jail sentence for DUI in Arizona on Saturday. Barkley is serving his time in Maricopa County's "Tent City" jail.
Top quotes:
Dale Earnhardt Jr. to crew chief Tony Eury Jr. during Fox's telecast of the Kobalt Tools 500 on Sunday: "If my wheel comes off and I hit the fence real hard, I get to whack every one of you with a hammer. Is that a deal?"… ESPN's Michael Wilbon during Friday's Pardon the Interruption on Shaquille O'Neal ripping Stan Van Gundy as a "master of panic" and Chris Bosh as the "RuPaul" of big men: "It's easy to see (Shaq) as a funny, funny guy, I do. Unless you're the guy he's clowning on."
NHL fighting code:
NHL enforcers follow their own code of honor when it comes to fighting. There was an example of sportsmanship during NBC's telecast of the New York Rangers vs. Boston Bruins on Sunday.
During a scrap between the Rangers' Colton Orr and the Bruins' Shawn Thornton, Orr's sweater rode up over his head. Rather than continuing to punch his blinded opponent, Thornton gestured for the linesman to break them up.
"That's part of the (fighting) code right there," said NBC's Pierre McGuire. "Good for Shawn Thornton."
Survivor guilt:
Excellent piece by ESPN's Kelly Naqi on Sunday's Outside the Lines about sole survivor Nick Schuyler — and the challenge he might face from survivor guilt after losing friends and NFL players Marquis Cooper and Corey Smith and former South Florida player Will Bleakley in a Gulf of Mexico boating accident.
Schuyler's friend Scott Miller told Naqi in an interview: "I can't imagine what he's going through mentally right now. I mean, he's got to explain to three families why he made it — and they didn't."
No mas:
Is there a mercy rule on promotional ads for ABC's new cop show Castle? I'll make you a deal ESPN: I'll watch Monday night's premiere, if you stop running those show promos over and over. You know the ads. Rick Castle (Nathan Fillion) is the wisecracking novelist enlisted by the New York Police Department. Detective Kate Beckett (Stana Katic) is the tough cop. He asks if she ever gets wild. She chews her lip and asks: "You know I'm wearing a gun, don't you?" Sure, the two Disney networks have to cross-promote. But I feel like I've seen the first episode already.

On September 14, I posted a notice about a research study we had in the works on The Interactive Marketing Organization. Thanks to everyone who participated in the survey!
We've gotten about 150 responses and have actually closed the survey (just in case you have tried to take the survey recently and found the link inactive). I'm currently at work on the report this data will feed. But since that is still several weeks away, I wanted to provide you with a few previews of what we learned:
*Companies actually have a surprising tenure with interactive marketing: 79% have been using interactive marketing for more than 3 years; 52% for more than 5*Interactive marketing teams are generally small (39% have IM teams with 1 to 5 people). However 18% report teams that are quite large (31 or more people)*Interactive marketers outsource less than I had expected with 59% outsourcing less than 25% of their work.*Younger IM organizations (those using IM for less than 5 years) are generally less strategic than more senior organizations. They have less staff, less budget, but better executive support than IM organizations who have been using interactive marketing for more than 5 years.
Posted by Shar VanBoskirk on October 6, 2006
I've gotten a number of press calls since Yahoo announced it has missed its earnings on October 5 asking if I think this indicates a larger slow down of interactive marketing spending overall. My response to these qualms "No way, Jose." Here is what I think is happening:
*Interactive marketing spending is definitely different today than it was in the boom times of Bubble One (circa 1999-2000). But this is a good thing. Today, more traditional marketers are including online advertising, email and search marketing in their marketing mix. This provides stability and legitimacy to interactive media which it did not have when it was supported solely by dot coms.
