Catlins makes bucket list
The Catlins Traverse Walk is on a bucket list of the top 33 activities in New Zealand, compiled by a leading German travel company.
It was ranked with well-known attractions such as the Tongariro Crossing, the Routeburn, Waitomo Caves, Fox Glacier and Akaroa.
The two-day, three-night, 30km, guided walk is run by Mary and Fergus Sutherland with walkers staying at their Mohua Park cottages.
It crosses the Catlins, beginning at The Wisp and finishing on the coast, and includes views, rain forest, farm land beech forest, wildlife and historic features.
Walkers traverse the Catlins River Valley and follow the old Catlins rail route over Puketiro Saddle, down Maclennan Valley to the coast at Papatowai.
Mary said the bucket list was put together by the Best of Travel group in association with Tourism New Zealand and it was great for the Catlins to make the list.
The couple had been in business for 25 seasons and won New Zealand eco-tourism, adventure tourism and business sustainability awards, she said.
They were also one of the first in Otago to have their business awarded an enviro gold award from Qualmark.
She agreed they had done the hard yards over the years.
"What we have is a very good product that is recognised well outside the district."
Mary described the Traverse Walk as the "great Catlins walk".
She was pleased with what the international recognition would be mean for the Catlins as whole.
"It's something very special to be recognised as one of 33," she said.

Just Do It … Right
Consider these strategies for meeting the toughest challenges of meaningful use attestation for your EHR system.
Jeff Grant, Shell, Wyo.
(Note: Click here for an exclusive online version of this article, which lists all 25 CSMs and MSMs and provides a comprehensive overview of meaningful use attestation information.)
So, you've decided that you're ready to get your EHR for the 2011 payment year. Hopefully, you've already selected one of the certified vendors that offer solutions for optometric practices, or you'll be making your selection very soon. Either way, the time is now to get busy with your implementation planning and process re-engineering to ensure a smooth transition.
One of the key requirements for receiving the EHR incentive payment is to meet the 15 core set measures (CSM) and five of the 10 menu set measures (MSM) set forth by CMS. You'll meet many of these measures simply by using a certified EHR system. However, some measures are more challenging and will require process changes within your practice for compliance.
In this article, I'll discuss some specific strategies you can employ to ensure you meet the criteria of the more challenging measures. Where appropriate, I will note exclusions for measures.
While my comments are "vendor-neutral," this article is not meant to supplant your vendor's documentation. Therefore, talk to your vendor to ensure that my suggestions align with the way your EHR software functions.
Also, note that many of the measures offer exclusions. Decide whether to exercise one or more of the exclusions and if you choose to do so, you will be required to attest that you meet the requirements of the exclusion(s).
Finally, see "Useful Definitions" (below) for an explanation of some of the more common terms used in this article.
Core set measures
The most challenging CSMs to achieve are:
CSM 1. Use computerized physician order entry for medication orders for 30% of unique (see definition) patients.
Strategy: Simply entering the medication details into the EHR will satisfy this measure for most practices.
Exclusion: If you write fewer than 100 prescriptions during the reporting period.
Staff involved: Clinical
CSM 4. Generate and transmit more than 40% of all permissible prescriptions electronically.
Strategy: All certified EHR systems contain e-prescribing functions. Most of these systems would automatically "count" your e-prescribing actions when you submit the prescription electronically.
Exclusion: If you write fewer than 100 prescriptions during the reporting period.
Staff involved: Clinical
CSM 7. Record demographics for more than 50% of all unique patients. You must record preferred language, gender, race, ethnicity and date of birth.
Strategy: You certainly record patient demographics now, but maybe not all the required values. This is likely something your front desk staff will need to enter, typically after the patient arrives for the visit or with data imported from a patient registration portal.
Exclusion: None
Staff involved: Front desk/check-in/patient registration
Note: Several EHR systems offer patient registration portals where the patient would enter his/her own demographic information. (See "Exciting New Technology: Patient Portals," below.)
CSM 8. Record and chart changes in the following vital signs: height, weight and blood pressure, display BMI and plot/display growth charts for 50% of all unique patients two years old and older.
Strategy: By far, this measure has caused the most concern and questions. Understand that the measure requires you to "record" changes in vital signs, but it doesn't say "weigh and measure" your patients. Therefore, this data could be self-reported by patients. However, it is my position that you can exercise the exclusion available if you believe that measuring these vital signs falls outside the scope of the your practice. The final decision on the exclusion of this measure is up to you.
Exclusion: Any eligible professional (EP) who either sees no patients age two years or older, or who believes that all three vital signs of height, weight and blood pressure of their patients have no relevance to their scope of practice.
Staff involved: Clinical
CSM 10. Report clinical quality measures (CQM).
Strategy: Become familiar with the Core, Alternate Core, and Specialty-specific options. Chances are that you will report zero (0) for all the Core and Alternate Core measures, but you will definitely need to report on three eyecare-specific measures (one relating to primary open angle glaucoma and two relating to diabetic retinopathy). Your EHR software vendor must generate the information you'll need to enter when you attest.
Exclusion: None
Staff involved: Clinical
Note: For 2011, you will enter your information and attest to the accuracy, but in 2012, you will be required to submit an electronic file containing your CQM information.
CSM 11. Implement one clinical decision support (CDS) rule relevant to your specialty or high clinical priority.
Strategy: The EHR vendors are handling this in different ways and will present the "rule" in different ways. No matter how it is done in your software, you must implement one rule that is relevant to eyecare. For example, the CDS rule, for a given diagnosis, might present alternative drugs, a list of tests that might need to be ordered based on frequency, etc. Once the CDS rule(s) has (have) been presented, the event would be logged in the EHR.
Exclusion: None
Staff involved: Clinical
Note: This is one of the most exciting functions in the latest EHR releases, as the documentation of such rules presents tremendous opportunities to assist EPs, improve patient care and reduce unnecessary services.
CSM 12. Provide an electronic copy of health information within three business days to all patients who request such.
Strategy: Most vendors would use a patient portal to meet this measure. The patient data would be uploaded to the patient portal when requested by the patient, and the event would be logged into the EHR.
Exclusion: Any EP who has no requests from patients or their agents during the EHR reporting period.
Staff involved: Clinical or front desk (depending on how your software generates the summaries and how the software makes them available to patients)
CSM 13. Provide clinical summaries for at least 50% of all office visits within three business days.
Strategy: Different vendors may handle this CSM differently. The measure does not state how these summaries are to be provided, and you're allowed some flexibility. Obviously, these summaries could be printed for and handed to the patient, but most vendors would also offer the option of "providing the summary" to a patient via the patient portal. The patient data would be uploaded to the patient portal at the conclusion of an encounter, and the event would be logged.
Exclusion: Any EP who has no office visits during the EHR reporting period.
Staff involved: Clinical or front desk (depending on how your software generates the summaries and how the software makes them available to patients)
CSM 14. Perform one test of your EHR software's ability to exchange key clinical information (for example, problem list, medication list, medication allergies and diagnostic test results).
Strategy: This is a "baby step" toward exchanging clinical information. Health Information Exchanges (HIE) are functional in only a few areas of the country (but being set up in many others), so most EPs have nowhere to send this information at this time. Therefore, you merely have to test this function to meet the measure. Most vendors would create an electronic Continuity of Care Document (CCD), which is an XML file that can be sent or at least tested to send. Some vendors might actually provide a way for you to send the file to them if no HIE exists in your area. This testing event may or may not be logged in the EHR. Ask your vendor for more information.
Exclusion: None
Staff involved: Clinical or administrative
CSM 15. Conduct a security risk analysis of the certified EHR technology.
Strategy: You are required to comply with all aspects of HIPAA, and this measure specifically requires that you conduct a security risk analysis, and correct any deficiencies. The print version of this article does not allow enough room for a detailed explanation of conducting a risk analysis. So, visit the online version of the article at www.optometricmanagement.com for some links to helpful information on the subject.
Exclusion: None
Staff involved: Security officer, CEO, administrator and practice owner (complying with HIPAA requires the involvement of everyone in the practice.)
Menu set measures
You must meet at least five MSMs with one of them being one of the two public health-related measures, (unless you're able to exclude certain measures). Below are those that present the greatest challenges or offer an exclusion.
MSM 2. Incorporate lab test results as structured data for at least 40% of clinical lab tests ordered.
Note: For nearly all O.D.s, this measure would be excluded, as lab tests are not commonly performed on each optometric patient.
MSM 4. Send preventive care/follow-up reminders to at least 20% of all patients age 65 or older or age five or younger, according to the patient's preference.
Strategy: Think of this as "recalls" that you've sent in the past, but where they must be sent according to the patient's preference. The patient may want a letter, or maybe this info could be uploaded to the portal, and the patient sent a notification via e-mail. This patient reminder event would be logged into the EHR.
Exclusion: An EP who has no patients age 65 or older or age five or younger with records maintained using certified EHR technology.
Staff involved: Front office
MSM 5. Provide at least 10% of all patients seen by the EP with timely electronic access (within four business days of the data being updated in the EHR) to their health information.
Strategy: Most vendors would be using a patient portal to meet this measure. The patient data would be uploaded to the patient portal and the event logged.
Exclusion: If the EP neither orders nor creates any of the information contained in these measures. This isn't really an exclusion, however, since you would create this information if you try to meet the requirements for the incentive payment.
Staff involved: Clinical, depending on the way your vendor makes this data available to your patients (generally through a patient portal)
MSM 7. If there is a transfer of care, the EP performs a medication reconciliation for more than 50% of those transitions.
Note: Optometrists would generally not be the recipient of a transfer of care (see the definition), so you would probably exclude this measure.
MSM 8. If there is a transfer of care, the EP provides a summary-of-care record for more than 50% of those transitions.
Strategy: Since you'll almost certainly refer a patient to another provider, you will be required to provide a summary of care record.
Exclusion: An EP who neither transfers a patient to another setting nor refers a patient to another provider during the EHR reporting period.
Staff involved: Clinical
MSM 9. Perform a test of the certified EHR's ability to submit electronic immunization data (public health-related). (See note after MSM 10.)
Note: An optometrist does not administer immunizations, so you would exercise the available exclusion.
MSM 10. Perform a test of the certified EHR's ability to submit electronic syndromic surveillance data (public health-related).
Strategy: Your state may not have an entity where you can test the submission of syndromic surveillance data (diagnosis-specific data). Therefore, you may be able to exclude this measure.
Exclusion: An EP who does not collect any reportable syndromic information on their patients during the EHR reporting period or does not submit such information to any public health agency that has the capacity to receive the information electronically.
Note regarding MSM 9 and MSM 10: The following text from the CMS FAQ on this topic makes it clear that you could skip one of these two measures and attest to an exclusion for the other: "If an EP can be excluded from both public health menu objectives, the EP should claim an exclusion from only one public health objective, and report on four additional menu objectives from outside the public health menu set."
Hopefully, this information will help you plan for and meet the requirements of each measure. At the very least, it should educate you on exactly what to ask your vendor to ensure you're properly meeting the requirements.
Either way, your ability to earn your incentive money should be greatly enhanced. OM
|Exciting New Technology: Patient Portals
|The EHR Incentive and EHR software certification program has spurred software developers to build or include some very exciting new functionality that reaches far beyond the requirements for MU. For example, Microsoft and Google offer portals, which allow patients access to their health information. (For a more in-depth explanation of patient portals, visit www.optometricmanagement.com to view the online version of this article.) While some of the EHR vendors have chosen one of these two portal service providers, other vendors have decided to create their own portals, allowing the vendor complete control over functionality, operation and expense.
|Useful Definitions
|As you read through the strategies in this article, keep in mind these definitions:
► Unique Patient. If a patient is seen by an EP more than once during the EHR reporting period, then for purposes of measurement, they only count once in the denominator for the measure.

Beware of seeds in dark coats
GroundCover™ Issue: 2
Tannin content in chickpeas is not a worry, according to a recent Victorian Department of Agriculture survey.
But while chickpeas pose no problems, some varieties of field peas have quite high levels of tannin which is undesirable in human and animal diets.
Ways to avoid tannin
Before the survey, little was known about the tannin content of Australian chickpeas and field peas. Now there are some pointers to ensure that tannin levels are kept low in field peas used for animal feed.
Most of the tannin is concentrated in the seed coat, so dehulling is one way of avoiding adverse effects. High tannin varieties derive from lines with coloured flowers and have a dark seed coat. All varieties with pale cream or green seed were low in tannin. Graziers can thus select peas for use in animal feed on the basis of variety or seed colour.

10 Authentic Spanish Dishes You've Never Heard Of
Today Spanish cuisine is one of the most appreciated in the whole world, and as you think of Spain, you'd probably be seeing colorful trays of bite-size tapas, or as they call them in the North, pintxos – croquettes and sizzling garlic shrimp, stacks of grilled vegetables topped with goat cheese, and shot glasses with silken salmorejo garnished with minced ham, egg and croutons. You'd be thinking of golden, saffron-scented rice in the famous paella, and thick wedges of tortilla española – hefty omelet with potatoes, equally great with coffee for breakfast or a glass of red wine from La Rioja for afternoon snack. And even though some of those dishes have become staples in restaurants and households all over the world, Spanish cuisine can still surprise you. Beneath you will find a list of 10 authentic Spanish dishes – not as popular, and some are really hard to find, but in case you are lucky enough to encounter any of them in local bar – be sure to give it a try; it might be your only chance to experience ultimate Spanish cuisine!
10. Tigres
It is no secret, that Spaniards like their food fried. Deep-fried, to be more precise. Huge platters of fried fish and seafood are served to accompany ice-cold beer on the sunny coast of Andalusia. Bar counters in Madrid are bursting with plump croquetas and bombas – croquettes made of potato puree and stuffed with ground meat. Tiny green peppers, pimientos de Padrón, with sea salt flakes on top, were previously nowhere to be found except in their home Galicia – now, on the other hand, they are available all over the country. Tigres most certainly originate from the Basque country, and this is the best place to try them. Flavorsome mixture of boiled and chopped mussels' meat is mixed with sautéed vegetables and thick béchamel sauce and then fried right inside the mussel shell. And although the name suggests that tigres should be well seasoned with hot pepper, cooks nowadays tend to go light on spices, opting for milder flavor. This, however, does not mean that you should not try them – in fact, since the preparation does require some time (cleaning the mussels, boiling them, chopping vegetables, preparing béchamel, and finally letting the mixture sit in the refrigerator overnight to thicken), and tigres are hard to find these days, if you spot this dish on the menu list, consider yourself lucky and please do order at least one just to try!
9. Tiznao
Because its location right in the center of the country does not allow a direct access to the sea, traditionally the only fish you could find in Castilla-La Mancha was bacalao, salt cod. Pearl white firm meat was easy to transport from the Northern coast, where the Basques have mastered the process of salting and posterior drying of the fish. Bacalao became a local favorite, it is widely used in pates and salads, as main course or as filling of tortillas and buñuelos – the latter is reminiscent of croquetas, with the only difference that croquetas are traditionally oblong-shaped, whereas buñuelos are round. Normally the fish has to undergo the process of desalting, to be used in cooking, yet in tiznao the process is omitted, and the salt is washed away from the surface by holding the meat under the running cold water. The result is a much more pronounced flavor, which is further paired with char-grilled vegetables, including dried choricero peppers, chiles and garlic. In fact, the name of the dish comes from the use of vegetables – the verb "tiznar" translates as "to blacken" and thus, the vegetables in tiznao should in fact be charred until nicely browned and even have slightly burnt flavor. Mixture of chopped fish meat, vegetables, and olive oil should be refrigerated before use, and served with the crumbled egg on top and bread on side.
8. Patatas a la importancia
In case you are in doubts, whether the word "importancia" means the same in Spanish – yes, it does, and yes, the name of this dish can be roughly translated as "potatoes of importance". What is so important about them? Well, take, say a pound of your ordinary boiling potatoes. Now boil them until fork-tender, but not mushy (you will soon find out why). Peel your potatoes, cut them in slices (this is why it is so crucial not to overcook the potatoes – you won't be able to cut dollops of potato puree in even rounds) and generously season with salt. What you are going to do now is… fry them! Yes, that is it, the importance of this potato dish comes from the fact that past-boiling they are coated with a thin layer of flour, dipped into the beaten egg and fried until nicely browned. Of course, you can eat potatoes just like that, fresh from the frying pan, but top those with your favorite hot sauce and you have a nice alternative to less surprising patatas bravas.
7. Zurrukutuna
Cooking traditions in the northern provinces of the Basque Country, Cantabria, Asturias and Galicia are shaped by two determining factors – proximity to the sea, and generally cool climate. As the result, their cuisine heavily relies on fishing, and abundant seafood is often used in warming stews and soups. Zurrukutuna is in fact salt cod-based soup, scented with garlic and paprika, and thickened with bread. Over the years the Basques have proven themselves as genuine masters of salting cod – popular and widely used all over the country, bacalao – and in the Basque country itself cod is of exceptional quality. Funnily enough, even though Zurrukutuna translates as "pleasant sip" ("zurrup" is "a sip", and "kutuna" stands for "pleasant"), the soup is rather eaten with tablespoons than drank straight from the bowl – its texture remains chunky, since aside from the olive oil used for sautéing onion, and garlic, and little water to cover the mixture, it uses no other liquid. Some recipes include raw eggs added shortly before serving, and sometimes additional spices and herbs, like dried chiles, and parsley can be used.
6. Pajaritos fritos
Pajarito stands for "little bird", and tapa of fried itsy-bitsy fowl species served in earthenware casserole was hugely popular in Spain, especially in Madrid (although the dish originates from Andalusia). In the late 90s, however, hunting was banned, and nowadays if you spot pajaritos fritos in a menu, this can mean only two things: first, that instead of fowl you'd be tasting cultivated quails – not bad at all, but nothing to do with the original; and second, you'd be given a plate of lightly battered and fried… anchovies! Originally though, the dish was prepared with anchovy-like tiny fish which received the name pajarito for peculiar shape of its bill, but since today it is almost impossible to find authentic pajaritos on the market, anchovies are used instead.
5. Pericana
A favorite in Alicante province, pericana traditionally uses the mixture of dried choricero peppers combined with extra virgin olive oil. Thick mixture is then complemented by the addition of capellanes – sun-dried fish, which undergoes the obligatory fire-roasting before being added to the pepper sauce – and garlic. Pericana, which is also known as pipes i carasses in Elche (also in Alicante province), has rather strong distinguished flavor, and would be most certainly served on its own, as appetizer, with bread or picos – Spanish tube-shaped crackers – on side.
4. Gazpacho manchego
You surely do know that gazpacho is a cold tomato soup. What you probably don't know is that in Spain there are numerous dishes under this name – practically every autonomous community can be proud of their own gazpacho. Even in the province of its origin – Andalusia, gazpacho preparations differ from one city to another. Some go heavy on bread, which they soak in water or even extra-virgin olive oil, to make a thicker soup; others omit bread and add a pile of fresh vegetables, sacrificing intense red color from tomatoes yet adding more flavor. White gazpacho, also known, as ajo blanco, has blanched almonds as the main ingredient, and is garnished with grapes. As you observe, these are all cold soups, gazpacho manchego, on the other hand, isn´t; it's not even a soup! The dish originates in Castilla-La Mancha, a land which cuisine relies heavily on abundant fowl; and typical gazpacho manchego in fact will feature hare, partridge and sometimes even pigeon. The stew is further thickened with pieces of local flatbread – tortas de pastor; and even though the name implies the province of origin, gazpacho manchego have become a staple in neighboring regions of Alicante, Albacete and Murcia.
3. Tocino de cielo
Literally the dish is translated as "bacon from heaven". I know, you might be already too excited for the recipe, but it is not what you think! Tocino de cielo has nothing to do with bacon – it is a type of custard, traditional in Andalusia, which is made of egg yolk-sugar mixture and coated in caramel. The custard does in fact tastes heavenly delicious, and even though it is rich and flavorsome on its own, sometimes you can see it served with whipped cream or even a scoop of ice-cream.
2. Matrimonio
Don't freak out if sitting at tapas bar, you would overhear someone ordering "matrimonio". The word does mean "marriage", but in this particular case we are talking about a harmonious union of boqueron – marinated anchovy, and anchoa – same fish but canned in oil. Filets are placed side by side, and despite being completely different in terms of flavor – slightly pungent, with subtle vinegar aroma boqueron and pleasantly fatty, flavorsome anchoa – the end result is ubiquitously satisfying. Traditionally anchovy filets are served on top of baguette slice, but some bars complement the fish with strips of pimiento de piquillo – tiny red peppers (not hot!) from Navarra, roasted, peeled and then canned; fresh tomato, or wedges of white cheese. In the north, in La Rioja and the Basque country in particular, "matrimonio" almost always includes roasted green pepper, which provides a delicate sweet touch.
Paella valenciana may be the most famous rice dish in the whole country, yet the region, sometimes referred to as Levante (Costa Levantina in Spanish), and comprising Valencian community and neighboring Murcia, can be proud of dozens of arroces (just to be clear, even though paella valenciana is the right name of the dish, not everything which has rice in it is called paella; paella is first and foremost the name of large metal pan used solely to cook rice, and thus when talking about rice dishes, the term "arroz" – rice – is preferred). In Murcia one of the region's emblematic dishes is arroz con costra – "crusty rice" – which receives its name from the layer of baked eggs on top of the rice. Common ingredients include white pork sausage (butifarra blanca), chicken, and pork loin. Unlike traditional paella, which gets a distinctive bright yellow color from the use of saffron threads, in Murcia they insist on using pimentón – made from dried pulp of locally grown and highly regarded ñora peppers.

A reserved, reflective sort, the 35-year-old Green mostly just wants to be left alone with his ideas, but his pursuit of music requires at least occasional collaborations with a rotating cast of sidemen. "One thing most artists don't lack is an ego," admits the native Texan in a lingering drawl. "I'd rather be by myself in my space than in the company of someone I don't want to be with."
After studying documentary photography at the San Francisco Art Institute, Green gave in to his musical urge, selling all his camera gear in exchange for the studio equipment he needed to turn the insistent sounds in his head into reality. To the artist, his compulsive leap from photography into an aural medium made perfect sense. "I look at myself as having an artistic career," he explains, seated on one of the two chairs in his austere wood-floor apartment. "Whether it's music or photography, it's the same. The challenge of making something out of nothing -- I love that process. Music just happens to be the thing that's working for me right now." Besides, he says, "I don't like to dabble too much, and I've never been one for casual photographs. I don't have any family pictures."
Piecing together demo tapes in his home studio with a Macintosh computer, a sampler, a keyboard, and his trusty bass guitar, Green was soon offered the opportunity to record his debut album. In 1993, the reluctant bandleader recruited a few local musicians to rerecord some of his instrumental parts, and the Grassy Knoll project began to take shape.
Wearing a brand-new baseball cap, a plain gray T-shirt, and round academic's glasses, Green looks more like a number cruncher on weekend furlough than the sort of holed-up manifesto ascriber or flighty recreational drug enthusiast you'd expect to be the creative force behind the Grassy Knoll. Blending together trip-hop beats, Miles Davis jazz-funk workouts, dark, murky melodies on trumpet or bass clarinet, and a relentless swirl of white noise, the Grassy Knoll's sound is one of the most exciting aspects of the contemporary Bay Area music scene. And it's by design of a guy who hasn't sworn off his Grand Funk and Doors records; who admits he has little technical prowess over the computer programs he uses; who still considers himself a mediocre bass player, well over a decade after he started thrashing around in pickup bands. "There is no right way to do anything," Green shrugs.
Together with some of the titles the musician has chosen for his wordless compositions -- "Culture of Complaint," "Wailing and Gnashing of Teeth," "Corrosion of the Masses" -- his appropriation of the conspiratorial term "grassy knoll" for the band's moniker suggests he's an obsessive neuropath who spends as much time listening to short-wave radio as to the latest Tricky release. Not so, says Green. "I don't care about any [conspiracy theories]. I'm just trying to get through the daily struggles of life." He does, however, admit to finding a certain absurdity in the alarmist tendencies of so many Americans. "A lot of the song titles came from driving across country to mix the record and listening to AM radio talk shows. 'Black Helicopters,' for instance, comes from people thinking Clinton's in charge of Communist helicopters flying over U.S. borders. It's just funny stuff."
The mannerly and soft-spoken Green does, however, intend for his music to sound guarded and circumspect. While he wants "to be an upbeat person, to believe in things and trust people, in our time and age it's just hard to let that happen." The title of the Grassy Knoll's second, and latest, record, Positive, recorded for Antilles/Verve in San Francisco and San Antonio, alludes to that thoroughly modern dilemma. "It's a play on the word," Green says. "In the '50s, if someone was positive, he was an upbeat personality. Now you don't know what the word means anymore, just like the way the word 'gay' in the '20s meant something different than it does now."
Positive features Grassy Knoll mainstays David Revelli on drums and Chris Grady on trumpet, as well as appearances by guitarist Ralph Patlan, clarinetist/saxophonist Jonathan Byerly, and cellist Matt Brubeck. Green says he chooses his colleagues for their willingness to restrain their musical proficiency in favor of his direction. "I never tell anybody how to play," he emphasizes. "It's where to play. A lot of musicians don't think conceptually, they think technically."
Longer than most on concept, Green is able to bring his own ideas to life with one innovative, oft-maligned piece of equipment: the sampler. "Just because there's this piece of machinery that's considered a computer," Green argues, "people start freaking out. It's just another tool, same thing as a tape machine. ... To me, it's no different than Frank Sinatra going in and laying down 15 vocal lines and then [having producers] snipping together the best takes from each phrasing."
Recording primarily at night, Green gets his inspiration from a number of sources. "This music is highly visual," says the once and future photographer. "I think of colors while I'm doing it, 1950s paintings, Rothkos and that stuff."
"Being in the studio is a very cerebral place. I love getting lost in the mental space. I've got a great view here at night -- I light some candles, kick back with a beer, and think about ... everything. And the ideas start coming. I know what I want in the studio. Live, I haven't exactly figured out where to take it yet."
"The music I've always responded to takes me somewhere," he says. "Who needs drugs when you can listen to [Pink Floyd's] 'Echoes' for 23 minutes and it'll scare the hell out of you?" Though he's fully prepared to go back to photography if his musical career should falter, Green does have his share of ambition: "I'd love for this to be considered the next Pink Floyd.

The Obama administration has sent a legislative package to Capitol Hill that strengthens supervision of credit rating agencies and improves disclosures about the risks of structured mortgage-backed securities.
The administration wants ratings on structured products to have different symbols than corporate bonds allowing investors to know there is a difference between the two. Second, the rating agencies would provide a "clear report" containing assessments of data reliability, the probability of default, the estimated severity of losses in the event of default, and the sensitivity of a rating to changes in assumptions on structured products, said assistant Treasury secretary Michael Barr.

The functioning or running of a game server is rarely as easy when setting the server up from the first site. Many games, such as Minecraft, have easy server setup software (and, yes, I truly do count Bukkit since Minecraft's server software since Bukkit joined the Mojang group a month or so back). These tips come from my experience in both running my own servers and from becoming part of the direction and management personnel in various servers. The experiences are both applicable and entirely different.
With fast growing companies, sometimes maintenance of server becomes one man show and is definitely a time consuming effort. Moreover, you cannot expect absolute perfection and reliability. Here the necessity of server management support arises for your software & hardware security, system maintenance and lot more. cpanel server support, a server management provider with consistent services and good package are known to be one of the well renowned service.
Terraria servers are everything in the life of a game. With the special place that the game is holding in the heart of players, Terraria Server Hosting is very important too. You can find yourself a terraria server or make your own ones; the choice is all yours! It completely depends on the number of players you want on your server. While a single player doesn't need a server hosting, a multiplayer game can be played on private servers for additional fun.

Social Security
Ask Social Security Questions and Get Answers ASAP
Hello, my name is***** goal is to give you a complete & accurate answer. I am working on your request now & I will respond as soon as possible.
I received no answer to my question
Not specifically for air or heat from the Social Security Administration.
However, depending upon your financial circumstances and the state you reside in, you should check with your state's Public Assistance department to see what financial assistance may be available based upon your financial situation.
Also, if you are not already receiving assistance via your state's food assistance program using an "EBT" card (formerly known as "Food Stamps") you may also qualify for that financial assistance.
As far as your utility costs are concerned, I would start with your utility company and ask what financial assistance is available for low income customers. There are several programs that you may qualify for. Usually there is what is called the "Good Neighbor Fund" administered by the Utility itself that provides assistance for your utility bills.
There is also a program for Energy Assistance in terms of more efficient appliances such as a refrigerator, stove or possibly even a new heating/cooling system. They also provide upgrades to your insulation, windows, light bulbs, etc. You utility company can refer you to the proper program for this that is in your geographical area.
Those items should be a good start and you may find that any one of those programs has references to other programs for seniors and/or low income households.
Another great source of information would be at you local Community or Senior Center in your city or town or one that covers your county, parish or other municipal entity. It doesn't have to be in your own town.
One other idea if you need assistance with paying Medicare or other Insurance Co-Pays or Prescription costs, your state (again your local Public Assistance Office) may have a program that you qualify to assist with those costs.
Your Senior or Community Center should be able to direct you to the proper program for that assistance, and/or your local pharmacy can also provide that information for programs administered by most Drug Manufacturers, that would apply to your specific prescriptions.
If I can be of any further assistance, please let me know.
If you don't have any further questions, please remember to rate my response as that is the only way I will receive my share of the payment you already made to the site.
Thanks very much for using JustAnswer.com
Steve G.
no such help in this area. I don't need food stamps I need to get help
with my air and heat system because of my condition
Well, I'm sorry but Social Security does not have any such programs.
As I said, the only programs that are available (these are funded nationally by grants administered by Public Utilities or by related organizations that they have established or work with); If you haven't done so already, I suggest that you check with the utilities that service your geographical area. They are required by the terms of the grants to inform the public of any programs that may be available from time to time. Some of the programs are continuing, and some are new or revised each year.
That would be a reliable source of information of what, if anything, is available in your area. It is definitely worth a try if you haven't checked on that lately.
If there is any type of movable equipment that would assist or alleviate your medical condition and is advised or recommend by your physician, you should check with Medicare to see if they would pay for the rental of the equipment, which eventually would become yours at no cost to you. For example, they will pay for CPAP machines and similar equipment that assist in the respiratory area. An excellent source of this information, is your local Medical Supply company. They will also handle all the administrative work to apply to Medicare, set up & provide the equipment and monitor it to ensure that it is effective in alleviating or assisting your medical condition
Other than that, there are no specific programs available to meet the specific need that you have stated.
Just checking in....................
Have you had a chance to view my additional response this morning?
Do you have any follow-up questions, or can I be of any further assistance on this question?
If not, please remember to rate my response as that is the only way I will receive credit (payment) for responding to your question. Without a rating, I am not compensated.
There is no charge for providing me with a rating.
Thanks very much,

Today I was feeling motivated and daring. I wanted to try some new noodles, thinking of our new Slack friend, @littleblackcat. She misses Singapore food and I felt I would honour her and feel grateful for being in this food paradise by eating some of her favorite dishes.
But the stall was closed. That was not in the plan. Deep breath and then… an idea: Yong Tau Foo. YTF is always there to save me with a nice comforting meal.
Is it?
I just ate. I feel bad. I gobbled up like a pork because I was nervous…
As I was saying first, today I wanted to take risks so here is what I did.
Challenge #1: Take the fried stuffed bittergourd instead of normal one that is boiled. Fried is usually much more tasty.
Challenge #2: I love the stuffed eggplant in YTF. I slowly got used to it being friend, and I am happy I did, because since then I enjoy eggplant even more.
What? 2 fried items in the same meal?
You complain? Not happy gremlin? Then I will have a third one., I reply with fury,
And I took the best of YTF: fried pumpkin. Sweet, soft, colourful, crunchy outside. A little pleasure from life.
Then I scavenged for the biggest piece of fried eggplant.
I paid and I observed the meticulous preparation of my yummy lunch.
I will always be amazed by the wonderful setting of hawker stalls, with plenty of different ingredients, miracles happening in ridiculously tiny kitchens.
I sat and took a photo of my beautiful colourful bowl. I was proud of me for ordering it.
The photo was nice but… Argh, one of those old scratched table. I was wrong, when I carefully look at it… It was a dove! And dove that came to me to bring me peace and serenity in this meal. It was a reward to my motivation, a surprise to bring excitement to my boring morning.
You are a shame.
The bittergourd was not what I expected. It was not stuffed with fish paste but with minced fatty pork meat.
If at least you could stick to your idea of being vegan, vegetarian, pescetarian! You have no willpower. You are even worse than you used to be. Bah!
And the worse shame is that it tasted good, very good. The scary part, is that it felt like biting into a piece of heaven, into a cloud that just was bringing new clear air and a breeze of happiness.
I needed to forget about it so I decided to catch the eggplant. The piece I took was big indeed.Strangely big. Immense. It was two pieces stacked together ! I was going to eat one more piece.
You are punished for your stupidity.
You went too far. Daring is useless. This battle makes no sense. You are deemed to fail.
You are greedy. You are selfish.
You get what you deserve you fat cow.
As I was seeing how the shiny droplets of oil on it were skyrocketing my anxiety…
I tried to feel grateful for something. There was this dove, my dear comrade in this meal, there was the meticulous woman that had prepared it, there was the sun shining…
And finally, it was over.
I am full.
Full is success. Full means I brought food into my body. It is there, to rest and nourish and heal. I thank myself for having done it, for doing another step to recovery.
The full stomach is not the problem. The real issue is that my head is getting overwhelmed, full of thoughts that do not help and that I don't let go.
I just let it flow.
Now I see this meal as a victory. I will have exactly the same meal soon and enjoy it. I will mindfully eat it so that my mind understands today was a good choice because I LIKE IT.
"Success consists of going from failure to failure without loss of enthusiasm." – Winston Churchill

An advice column is a column traditionally presented in a magazine or newspaper, but can also be delivered through other news media such as the internet and broadcast news media. The advice column format is question and answer: a (usually anonymous) reader writes to the media outlet with a problem in the form of a question, and the media outlet provides an answer or response. The responses are written by an advice columnist (colloquially known in British English as an agony aunt, or agony uncle if the columnist is male). The image presented was originally of an older woman dispensing comforting advice and maternal wisdom, hence the name "aunt". An advice columnist can also be someone who gives advice to people who send in problems to the newspaper.
Sometimes the author is in fact a composite or a team: Marjorie Proops's name appeared (with photo) long after she retired. The nominal writer may be a pseudonym, or in effect a brand name; the accompanying picture may bear little resemblance to the actual author.
Agony may refer to:
Mock the Week is a British topical celebrity panel game hosted by Dara Ó Briain. The game is influenced by improvised topical stand-up comedy, with several rounds requiring players to deliver answers on unexpected subjects on the spur of the moment.
It is made by independent production company Angst Productions and made its debut on BBC Two on 5 June 2005. It was created by Dan Patterson and Mark Leveson, the same people responsible for the comedy game show Whose Line Is It Anyway? The show's theme music is "News of the World" by The Jam.
Old episodes currently air on Dave, a fact that is frequently mentioned on the show. Episodes regularly attract 3.5 million viewers.
The show is hosted by Dara Ó Briain and on the panel are two teams of three. The current panel consists of Hugh Dennis and two guest panelists seated on Ó Briain's right, and Andy Parsons and two guest panelists on his left. For the first seven series, Dennis was joined by Frankie Boyle, and from the second half of series 10 through the first half of series 12 he was joined by Chris Addison. The other team originally included Rory Bremner for the first two series; Parsons was made a permanent panelist after Bremner left, and was joined by Russell Howard the following series onward. Hugh Dennis remains the only team member to appear in every episode (except the special episode that was part of David Walliams' 24 Hour Panel People). Howard was absent for some of series 9 as he was concentrating on other projects.

Inkfish - Agony Aunt
You've got to clean out the house
Take out all the things you don't want
You know you know to go beyond everything
And not be barred (bored?) with your world
You've got to look around
You got to be yourself
Do you know your friend?
Well I'd die for him
Know that I'll come back
And live again
But the promise is all you need
And you've got the promise
I don't need to discuss my life
We're talking about it now
I know that you'll hear me
You didn't bring me all this way for nothing
I know that you're here
And we're both together
What more could you want?
You'd be surprised at how simple your intake can be
You got to clean out the house
Take out all the things you don't want
You know you need to go beyond everything
And not be barred (bored?) with your world
You thought you had energy before
You won't know where you are

Born a child that was the subject of a heroin addict while she was pregnant, at full term, my birth weight was only 3 pounds, so I've been a fighter from the beginning. I was placed in foster care because my mother couldn't complete a drug rehab program. I was in foster care for 3 years until I was adopted by a family that took me under their wing and molded me into the young lady I am right now.
I was born in New York, but raised in Kissimmee, which is on the outskirts of Orlando. Alumni of Osceola High School who graduated with a 3.6 GPA and relocated to Jacksonville because my adoptive mother fell sick and my sister was already living here, so I came here to assist in caring for her.
At this point in my life, I am dedicating much of my time bringing awareness to Domestic Violence. So many incidents go unheard of until something drastic takes place, and I want to be there to help prevent those measures from taking place. Hence the title, Silent For What?!?!

Hemoglobin C Disease Underlying Cause
Hemoglobin C disease is an inherited illness. Persons with this disease have abnormal hemoglobin in the red blood cells. This causes the red blood cells to be deformed. The spleen destroys the deformed blood cells, resulting in anemia.

A day ahead of Syrian peace talks, activists tell opposition, #DontgotoGeneva
People are still wondering what the Syrian opposition's Geneva representation will look like, but according to the Syrian activists behind this week's campaign, they shouldn't go at all. (AFP/File)
Syrian peace talks are set to begin in Geneva this Friday, a process that's already been pushed back a little, and—as headlines have told well by now—is beginning with more than a few unanswered questions.
One of the most noteworthy uncertainties lies within the Syrian opposition. Wrought with in-fighting and talks of boycotting the meeting altogether, a mixed-bag opposition factors has yet to reach an agreement on the talks.
Now, a day from the Friday start date, an Internet campaign launched by Syrian activists is dubbed #DontgotoGenva and aims to stop an opposition congregation from entering the talks altogether.
Advocates say past experiences at international peace talks have been fruitless for voices rallying against Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, and this session is likely to have the same result.
Speaking on the condition of anonymity, one activist based in the Syrian city of Aleppo said the talks "are lies," and opposition appointees eligible to go don't necessarily represent the needs of Syrians themselves.
"Here in Syria, we know that nothing will change during or after these talks," he said. "The opposition only wants an external political victory. Otherwise, if they represent the Syrian people - why are they abroad?"
After all, the opposition body charged with choosing a Geneva delegation was itself the product of another meet-up in Riyadh, where several prominent opposition were appointed to the High Negotiations Committee during talks last year.
Meanwhile, this week has been colored with disagreement and indecision about who should be allowed to negotiate in the Swiss capital. And as Friday's start date arrives, #Don'tgotoGeneva is also gaining speed.
Have a look at a few examples below, via Twitter.

text: No, this isn't another 'FOC figures are tiny' thread. I've only been collecting sporadically since the first movie toyline, but something I've been curious about for a while is how much of a discrepency there can between two figures in the same size class and toyline, despite each figure presumable having the same plastic budget. For example, Prime Deluxe Knock Out is pretty small compared to his wavemates in vehicle mode, even though some parts compression and lack of major kibble allows him a fairly tall robot mode, but then you look at Wheeljack who is honestly on par with the First Editions in both modes. Over in FOC from what I can tell from pictures, Shockwave and the Combaticons are all a good bit larger than Jazz and especially Optimus. And while I don't recall exact comparison from the movie and Animated toylines, I'm sure there must have been some examples from those with notably different sizes. Anyone know how this works? Is it a case of having a total amount of plastic allowable for each case, and a maximum amount on each individual figure which they use for some and not for others?

Clean and protect your boat every time you use it with Babe's Boat Bright polymer sealant.Description
Babe's Boat Care - Babe's Boat Brite is made to be used every time you wipe down your boat by enhancing the finish with a light wax surface and UV protectants. Babe's specially formulated design instantly creates a water repellent barrier on your boat which will cause water to roll right off. This helps to reduce water spots by keeping minerals from sitting on the surface of your boat. Babe's Boat Brite will also help minimize scratches by adding a mar-resistant coating to your boat. UV protection helps keep your boat safe from fading and oxidation also.
What is Gelcoat?
Gelcoat is a thin, porous mix of polyester resin and pigment that is sensitive to the damaging effects of ultra-violet (UV) rays and environmental contaminates. Left unprotected, gelcoat will begin to deteriorate over time and the finish will fade and dull. This fading and dulling is called oxidation.
The most common method boat owners use to maintain their gelcoat is to apply wax to the gelcoat fiberglass using traditional wax products as often as possible. However, traditional waxes do not contain UV protectants and once exposed to boating conditions will quickly deteriorate. The effort to apply wax on a boat is arduous and time consuming and most boat owners do not wax their boat as often as necessary to maintain the finish and appearance.
Why Boat Bright?
Boat Bright employs a specially formulated, synthetic wax blend with UV protectants to provide extreme water repellency, gloss, scratch resistance and durability. Boat Bright is, without question, the easiest and most effective product to use on a regular basis to maintain the finish and appearance of your boat. The more you use Boat Bright, the better it performs.
Importance of UV Protectants
UV Protectants are categorized in two general classifications. One type of protectant absorbs UV radiation and the other inhibits UV degradation by acting as a resin stabilizer. Our advanced formula of Boat Bright utilizes a 50/50 "synergistic" blend of both to provide powerful UV protection. When applied frequently, a simple wipe-on application of Boat Bright will assist in protecting against color fade, chalking and oxidation associated with UV degradation.
How to apply Babes Boat Bright
Boat Bright may be applied as often as you like to gelcoat fiberglass, glass, plexiglass, stainless steel and other related marine exterior parts. Boat Bright can be used on wet or dry surfaces, in direct sunlight or in the shade.
Spray a light mist, then wipe the surface with a soft, absorbent cloth, turning cloth on a regular basis until surface becomes completely dry. Unlike wax, Boat Bright does not need to dry before it is wiped off. If Boat Bright has dried on the surface, it is easily removed by spraying the area with more Boat Bright, then wiping dry.
For superior results, we recommend using BABE'S Extreme Performance Towels. These commercial grade micro-fiber towels prevent the product from being absorbed in the towel and create a high polished finish to the surface.
Restoring Gelcoat
BABE'S Boat Bright is a maintenance product not a "restoration" product. For surfaces that have deteriorated and become oxidized, a more aggressive treatment is necessary. We suggest you visit Easy Boat Care and secure a compound designed to restore gelcoat.

Good Stuff
After wiping my boat down i have started to apply the babes boat brite to help prevent mineral deposit build up from the river. To date I have only applied twice but the boat looks super clean and feels smooth to the touch after application. I do think frequent application is key to this working well but I will continue to use as its quick and easy to apply
Pretty good and fast to use
Great for keeping off water spots, but not really a replacement for waxing. My wax is in good shape so I was hoping to get a bit more shine on the deck areas that get a lot of wear. I'll keep using this product though. Great for keeping off the water spots and wiping away the scum line.

The Natural Remedy That Can Ease Your Joint Pain As Well As Ibuprofen
Arnica flowerheads have traditionally been steeped in hot water
You can find tinctures, creams, gels, and oils, all for topical use, at most health food stores and some pharmacies. I use a tincture, made with arnica and alcohol, which both smells good and feels good. Liberally massage topical arnica into any sore or injured area with unbroken skin. (Do not apply arnica in any form on an open wound—you risk absorbing a toxic dose.)
Or, try making an arnica compress: Dip a gauze pad into a tablespoon of arnica tincture mixed with a pint of spring or purified water, then put it on the arthritic joint or injured area. Some people are sensitive to a component of arnica, so stop using it if a rash develops.
Do not take arnica internally except in homeopathic form. While research findings have been inconsistent, personally and in my practice, I find the 30X potency beneficial as a first-aid treatment for trauma, such as a dental procedure, or any sports-related injury involving sprains, strains, or bruising. Some people take homeopathic arnica prior to and following surgery, but there are conflicting research findings about the effectiveness of this practice.

Note: Do not rely on this information. It is very old.
SackvilleSackville, George, Viscount (1716-85), soldier and statesman, third son of the first Duke of Dorset, was educated at Westminster School and at Dublin University, whilst his father was Viceroy of Ireland. He entered the Army in 1737, and fought bravely at Dettingen and Fontenoy, and in 1758 was made lieutenant-general. In the following year he was tried by court-martial on a charge of cowardice, and dismissed the service, the accusation being based on his refusal to lead his troops forward at the Battle of Minden. After the accession of George III., however, he was reinstated in favour, and appointed Colonial Secretary during the American War (1775-82). He was created viscount in the latter year. He was credited with the authorship of the Junius Letters.

Twice in recent weeks, I've exited the interstate on my daily commute and noticed - in two different places - bags of scattered fast-food rubbish lying in the grass by the side of the road. Both times, the remnants of children's meals - milk cartons and telltale cartoon-character packaging - were among the discarded cartons and wrappers. This tells me that children likely witnessed adults irresponsibly disposing of trash. How sad.
In politics, as in most things, it's not about the guts of an issue - what's good or bad about it - but how the guts look. Seasoned viewers of politics know making law is akin to making sausage. Not a pretty sight. But just as the new year dawned, House Republicans brought out the meat grinders, stuffer machines and casings for all to see. The House GOP majority allowed itself to get caught up in yet another example that reinforces the impression that it cares more about ideology than real people in need.
Editor, The recent Courier articles and subsequent opinions concerning the swearing in of elected officials leave me with mixed emotions - one of joy, the other sadness and dismay.
When negotiations began over averting the fiscal cliff, the ultimate goal was supposed to be two-part: addressing tax increases and reducing the deficit.
Editor, Citizens of Liberty County, thank you for your support, prayers and work during my term as president of the Liberty County Branch of the YMCA. I have come to the end of my presidency, and the branch will hold elections for new officers. Until then, the Ms. Hannah Williams-Donegan will serve as interim president.
Dear Cameron Charles Yarbrough: During the years, it has been a tradition at the first of the year to impart some words of wisdom in this space to your father, uncle and cousins, who double as my grandsons. Perhaps some of my observations were useful to them. Maybe some fell on deaf ears. I have never asked. Anyway, they are adults now, old enough and wise enough (I hope) to figure things out for themselves. So now it's just you and me, kid.
I've recently become a serious label reader. Previously while grocery shopping, I'd glance at the data on the back of food packages to make sure the item I was about to purchase didn't contain an entire day's worth of fat, or I'd do a quick comparison to determine which brand of granola bars contained fewer calories. But since my baby girl began eating solid food, I've pretty much made a career out of studiously inspecting every scrap of nutritional information I can get my hands on.
As a longtime businessman, I see a deficit in America that has received far too little attention. That's the wage deficit experienced by growing numbers of Americans, with serious consequences for our economy.
Editor, This is in reference to the two articles on the swearing-in of our elected officials. It has been said that a picture is worth a thousand words. What does Friday's article "Sheriff, other elected officials sworn into office for new terms," which ran with a picture of white elected officials, versus Sunday's article, "Liberty County's leaders take oaths, begin new terms," which ran with a picture of black elected officials and two white females, show us?
Editor, In reference to the story in last Sunday's Courier ("Dual ceremonies stir emotions"), a source for the story said that I'd planned to be sworn in earlier along with my colleagues, Commissioners Walden and Bowen, but that's not the case. At our regular December commission meeting, Commissioner Walden mentioned to me that he had plans to visit with his son during the holidays, and he was considering being sworn in before the planned date of Dec, 27. During a conversation before the December mid-month meeting, Walden asked whether I'd be interested in being sworn in ...
When the governor paints the state's financial picture as "daunting" and Medicaid is at least $700 million in the red, you know it's time to get serious about the state budget.
The White House said curbing gun violence is a complex problem requiring a "comprehensive" solution.
My work never ends. Not only do I have to deal with compound verb forms each and every week, the editors insist I throw in some commas along the way for reasons I don't fully understand. I think commas are a nuisance and only serve to get in the way of great thoughts.
Editor, The Seven Ministries board of directors would like to thank the community for its support of our annual Christmas giveaway. With your help, we were able to deliver more than 80 hams and more than 30 turkeys to deserving seniors throughout Liberty County.
I usually don't like Christmas. Now, before I offend anyone, let me make it perfectly clear that it's the commercialization and the added family stress that leave a bad taste in my mouth. The celebration of Jesus' birth is - and should be -the focal point of the holiday.
