nice video, great commentary. Although at one moment, deep in thought about your analogy about making holes to stop a leak, I realized I was staring of a photo of Smelly Butts team sign, proving that the Lord does have a sense of humor.
Thanks for sharing. |
Congratulations on your first Grand Jeff! It's always an honor and great experience being able to witness somebody's first.

Golf doesn't get that much coverage, but little-known Aussie battler Scott Gardiner has made headlines and become a part of the sport's ever-evolving history. In 2013, he will become the first Aboriginal to play on the PGA Tour in the US, which is sure to generate a lot of interest.

only one way to describe mundine a total muslim scumbag
Replybuddy franklin before peter matera,gotta be kidding.
ReplyJust to add to my previous post..why isn't "Chicken George" on the list? Didn't he achieve enough?
ReplyWhew, just for a moment I thought the Big Fulla missed out too, but he was there and just as well. It ain't a list without Big Artie. I agree with Lumwana Chris tho. No Polly Farmer or Sid Jackson and from league, no John "Chicka" Ferguson and what about the "Black Flash", Larry Corowa? I think they tried too hard to get as many sports on the list instead of aiming for the best sports people.
ReplyTotally agree with Lumwana Chris! Prolly Farmer changed the game of AFL. To not have him in there is a travesty! BTW Cyril Rioli would be a good inclusion.

Book Review - "Before I Die," by Jenny Downham
Finally, my copy of Jenny Downham's "Before I Die" came in last week. Our copy just cannot stay on the shelf! For a popular title, "Before I Die," deals with some heavy stuff. Our narrator Tessa is a British teen who's been living with leukemia since she was twelve. She's recently received news from her doctor that it's no longer responding to treatment. Our narrator Tessa is going to die. But Tessa doesn't give up on living just yet, definitely not. She makes a list of things she wants to do before she dies- things like sex, breaking the law, and getting her divorced parents back together. But things happen that were never on her list - like falling in love, and her best friend Zoey becoming pregnant.
It should come as no surprise that this is, towards the end, a terribly sad book. But it's also hopeful. Tessa is mad and frustrated at times, but she's not willing to go out with a whimper. She stands up for the things she wants, the things she would get to have if given the chance to live a full, 75+ year life. This librarian was absolutely sobbing at the end of this phenomenal book.

Miss Barnes continues on her quest to review this year's Printz honors!
This weekend, I read Australian author Judith Clarke's adorable book "One Whole and Perfect Day." Adorable? Hmm... Sixteen year old Lily would like for things to work out, just once, in her crazy life, with her crazy family. All she wants is, well, "one whole and perfect day." Her mom's so busy working all the time that Lily is stuck taking care of all things household; her 22 year old brother Lonnie can barely get his act together and has moved out of the house; her dad left before even getting a chance to meet her; her grandmother talks to her imaginary friend; her grandfather is at odds with Lonnie; oh, and she doesn't have a boyfriend! No wonder she just wants one perfect day.
The author does an amazing job of weaving in and out of the different character's lives, much in the way that adult fiction author Anne Tyler so skillfully does so. The characters are endearingly complicated and you just can't help rooting for each and every one of them. This is a "feel good book," but not at all in that cliche way. It's filled with delightful surprises at the end that will keep you smiling hours after finishing it.
Will Lily finally get that one perfect day? Read "One Whole and Perfect Day," by Judith Clarke, to find out.

New YA book turned movie!
Blake Nelson's book "Paranoid Park" has been adapted for film by Gus Van Sant ("Good Will Hunting"). The movie opened a few weekends ago to decent reviews. Unfortunately, it is rated R and currently only playing at one theatre in the Chicago area, Landmark Century Centre on the north side. Still, you might want to check out the book.

Miss Barnes reviews this year's Printz winner: The White Darkness by Geraldine McCaughrean
Okay, I'll admit that the Printz winner and honor books this year weren't really on my radar until the awards were announced, but if my reaction to the first book is any indication, wow, the Printz committee picked some fascinating books. "The White Darkness" is probably not the best book to read when you are in the Chicago area whining about how cold it is, since the book is set in Antarctica. Or maybe that makes it the perfect read.
Sym is a fourteen year old British girl who is definitely the odd one out in her group of friends. They enjoy gossiping about boys and reading teen magazines; Sym likes talking to a famous dead explorer, Titus Oates, in her head. If that premise makes you decide that the book is not for you, think again. Sym is just your regular eccentric underdog. It's just that the quirks I chose to tell you first, her defining quirks, are rather particular. She's also painfully shy. The one thing that seems to make her feel good is hanging out with her uncle, who has the same passion for Antarctic explorers, of which Titus Oates is among the most famous. He and his crew died trying to reach the South Pole.
Anyway, so when her uncle whisks her away to Paris for a weekend, Sym is totally stoked! And when he tells her that they might be heading "down south" for a few weeks, she's even more excited. Then she learns he's taking her to Antarctica. Within a few days, there she is, in Antarctica, one of the coldest, most barren and beautiful places in the world. They are there with a small group of adventure vacationers, aka rich people who wanted to see Antarctica. Things are going fine, until everyone gets sick. Everyone except for Sym and her uncle. Soon after, it becomes clear to Sym that her uncle had quite another mission in mind, one that will take them to the places Oates once saw, before he, along with his colleagues, perished.
"The White Darkness" is a riveting adventure tale that will have you shivering and convinced you are right beside Sym and the man in her head, Titus Oates, stuck in Antarctica with a crazy man. It's a small, thick book, but if you're a voracious reader, you'll get through it in no time. I started reading Sunday night, and finished it Monday afternoon. (And I worked all day Monday!) But this book is also more than an adventure tale, it's a test of character, a thriller, a peek into a weirdo's mind, and a brilliant read from start to finish.

STILL TOUGH AT TIME: As part of Time Warner's earnings news on Wednesday, Time Inc. reported revenue declines of 13 percent to $1.10 billion during the fourth quarter and advertising revenue down 12 percent, which represented an improvement over the prior year. The style and entertainment unit emerged as the strongest performer during the period, thanks to revenue growth from People magazine. Most of the ad declines were concentrated in the news segment, which includes Time magazine. The division showed improvement in subscription trends, primarily at the newsstand. For the first quarter of this year, Time Inc. has seen improvement in print advertising, relative to the fourth quarter.

Frankly, I'm relieved for Deputy McDonald. I have no doubt that she did exactly as she should, but I kept thinking if it were me and a young girl were involved, I would feel just a tad bit better if that bullet weren't fired by me and apparently it wasn't. So many victims by one unscrupulous piece of work. That poor young girl lost her life for that jerk and it saddens the heck out of me. I can't help but feel that someone failed her to the point where the sun likely rose and set on this guy. So very tragic. The deputies performed above and beyond and with God's grace, there were no other fatalities.

Pau Gasol told reporters at the Los Angeles Lakers shootaround on Tuesday that there will be no limitations in the game against the Charlotte Bobcats on Tuesday at the Staples Center, according to the Lakers twitter feed.
"I think it'll be good for me to get up & down," the Lakers feed quoted him as saying.
The Lakers have won two straight games — 102-96 at the Washington Wizards and 111-98 at the Philadelphia 76ers — and the Bobcats come into the game on an 11-game losing streak, so it would seem like a good time for Gasol to ease back into the lineup.

Protests Against Ruling on Admission to Faculties of Medicine A decree of the minister of public instruction, issued January 25, has put into effect the provisions of the Armbruster bill, revising the law of 1892 governing the practice of medicine in France. The Armbruster bill has been passed by the senate but not as yet by the chamber of deputies, which still has the right to make changes in it. Nevertheless, the minister, basing his judgment on the opinion frankly formulated by the senate, immediately put into effect one of its most important provisions, which denies admission to the faculties of medicine to students who have no bachelor's degree covering classical studies and a knowledge of Latin and Greek. In place of the two old established courses leading up to the bachelor's degree (belles-lettres or the sciences), the university has created some twenty different courses to meet the needs of

Well. the food was not bad, except mine had a rock in it. I bit down on it and thought I had cracked a tooth. I have not seen a dentist yet... Anyway, the waitress knocked 50% off that one entree, which is less than one would have expected, since I had eaten half of it before finding the rock... More
This extremely pleasant little Thai restaurant is tucked into a small storefront on Norman's Main Street, but the interior will surprise you: It's quiet, serene, and attractive, conducive to a romantic meal, a small gathering of friends, or a business dinner. The food is delicious and the staff are attentive without getting in the way of your privacy.
The food was delicious, not too oily as some Thai restaurants I have tried. They adjusted the spices to my liking.
Fresh, clean, good, nice. Not a place to go out of your way for, but when you crave Thai food, a place to go.
Wonderful taste, perfectly seasoned appropriate size portions. Spring rolls are great! Heat levels 1-5, 2 is normal, 3 a little spicy
I go out of my way when traveling to eat here! I have never been disappointed with any dish I have tried.
After you eat this Thai cusine, you're spoiled for Thai elsewhere. The ambiance matches the culinary excellence with understated elegance, a beautiful salt water aquarium to entrance you and privacy-enhanced comfortable booths. Their many curries are to die-for with fabulous appetizers and stir-fry.
We celebrated our anniversary here and it was amazing! You have to check this place out! It is perfect for an intimate date night. The food is spectacular and so is the service. :)
My husband and I are both vegetarians and we were able to choose from several options. Good service too. I recommend the pineapple curry- a local favorite. We did have a difficult time getting the dishes to be spicy enough. My husband ordered his with 5/5 stars for hot and said "as spicy and hot as you will make it".... More

UMass Amherst Second Bachelors Fall 2012 - Page 3
Register Today!- Apr 19, '12 by andrewmorganI was looking over the nursing school handbook on their website and it said that the 2nd degree application was due April 1st 2012. I guess they must have moved it back. Im pretty sure it was Feb. 1st. That's when I had all my material in.
- Apr 20, '12 by luce8888I called today since I am so anxious about this!! The woman said that they still have a few more applications to review, but they hope to let us know by the end of next week.
- Apr 23, '12 by EmmaNPthis wait is horrible! when anyone knows anything, please post! does anyone know whether letters are electronic or snail mail?
- Apr 24, '12 by luce8888I think they're sent snail mail (based on what posters from previous years said). Has anyone else heard news from other schools? Good luck everyone!!
- Apr 24, '12 by andrewmorganYa..Amherst is my last hope! Although it is my first choice school.
What about you? - Apr 25, '12 by shosseinHello everyone,
I've called every week in the month of April, and every week they said they were sending the letters out early next week. It is now April 25th, and when I called they said it would be the end of this week. So, we are all still waiting patiently, or not so patiently, and will see what actually happens. - Apr 26, '12 by sarang31Hello Everyone! I'm so glad that this thread exists!
I just called them this morning and was informed that they will be sending out admissions decisions via email and then the actual paper via snail mail. I am so nervous!!!! I heard its competitive... I have a low GPA so my chances seem minute.. But whatever happens, happens for a reason!! For the sake of our future! So let's not be discouraged if we get rejected...
If you guys have any other updates, please share!

Building Impact into Social Science Research
Practice No. 1202
Last modified: 11/11/2010 08:54:46
Institution: University of York, University of Leeds
Building Impact into Social Science Research was funded by vitae innovate fund applied for and successfully awarded to Professor Richard Thorpe and Dr Paul Ellwood. The event was supported by the Staff and Departmental Development Unit at Leeds. Much of the following text formed part of a proposal to Vitae written by Paul Ellwood and Richard Thorpe, with summary and context written by Jenn Chubb at the University of York. This Vitae Innovate funded project enabled the development of a module to be integrated into postgraduate training programmes – it contained both concepts and practical tools aimed at helping students understand and connect with aspects related to the impact of social science research. The Innovate fund supported a two day Leeds University Business School course entitled Building Impact into Social Science Research followed by a two day Social Science- wide White Rose residential event at Bodington Hall with input from academics reporting on the impact of their research and interactive group work activities. Building Impact into Social Science Research aimed to provide an introduction to this increasingly important aspect of a researcher's life. Through a mixture of presentations, specialist speakers and practical exercises, the workshop provided a grounding in the emerging UK policy environment, appropriate research design and practical engagement mechanisms with research stakeholders.

When the Rams went 2-14 in 2008, fans said it couldn't get much worse.
They went 1-15 in 2009.
After the first 28-2 game in NFL history, it can't get much worse, right?
Come find me after the game for that one.
For now, fans can feel good about this game. It can't-and won't-get worse at all.
It is not going to be a W, but more than two points will be on the Jags side of the scoreboard when the game ends. After all, three is more than two.
An angry Cecil Shorts and a QB that has a better relationship with his offensive targets will give Scobee the chance to step on the field more than once.
Final score prediction: Raiders win 22-6.

Acne - Medications
Medicines can help manage the severity and frequency of acne outbreaks. A number of medicines are available. Your treatment will depend on the type of acne you have (pimples, whiteheads, blackheads, or cystic lesions). These medicines improve acne by:
- Unplugging skin pores and stopping them from getting plugged with oil (tretinoin, which is sold as Retin-A).
- Killing bacteria (antibiotics).
- Reducing the amount of skin oil (isotretinoin).
- Reducing the effects of hormones in producing acne (certain oral contraceptive pills for women).
The best medical treatment for acne often is a combination of medicines. These could include medicine that you put on your skin (topical) and medicine that you take by mouth (oral). Or you may take medicines such as clindamycin/benzoyl peroxide, a gel that contains 2 topical medicines.
Medication Choices
Treatment of acne depends on whether inflammation or bacteria are present. Some acne consists only of red bumps on the skin with no open sores (comedonal acne). Topical creams and lotions work best for this type of acne. But if bacteria or inflammation is present with open sores, oral antibiotics or isotretinoin may work better.
The most common types of medicines that doctors use to treat acne include:
- Benzoyl peroxide, such as Brevoxyl or Triaz.
- Salicylic acid, such as Propa pH or Stridex.
- Topical and oral antibiotics, such as clindamycin, doxycycline, erythromycin, and tetracycline.
- Topical retinoid medicines, such as tretinoin (Retin-A), adapalene (Differin), and tazarotene (Tazorac).
- Azelaic acid, such as Azelex, a topical cream.
- Isotretinoin, an oral retinoid.
- Low-dose birth control pills that contain estrogen (such as Estrostep, Ortho Tri-Cyclen, or Yaz), which work well on moderate acne in women and for premenstrual flare-ups.
- Androgen blockers, such as spironolactone. Androgen blockers can be useful in treating acne. These medicines decrease the amount of sebum (oil) made in your pores.
What To Think About
If you are pregnant, talk to your doctor about whether you should take antibiotics for acne. Some antibiotics are not safe to take during pregnancy.
Over time, bacteria can become resistant to antibiotics, which means that the antibiotics are no longer effective at killing or controlling the bacteria causing the acne. This is called drug resistance. When this occurs, a different antibiotic may be used.
After acne is under control, you often need ongoing treatment to keep it from returning. This is the maintenance phase of treatment. Your doctor may suggest treatments other than antibiotics for long-term use, to avoid the risk of drug resistance.
Topical medicines usually have fewer and less serious side effects than oral medicines. But topical medicines may not work as well as oral medicines for severe acne.
Isotretinoin (such as Sotret) and tazarotene (Tazorac) can have serious side effects. Women who take isotretinoin or tazarotene need to use an effective birth control method, to avoid having a baby with serious birth defects. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has announced that the companies that make isotretinoin have a program to register doctors who prescribe isotretinoin and the people who take it. The program is to ensure that women taking this medicine understand the risk of birth defects, take precautions to avoid pregnancy, and know what to do if they become pregnant. If your doctor suggests that you take isotretinoin, you must be registered with iPLEDGE in order to get the drug. You can get more information and register at www.ipledgeprogram.com or by telephone at 1-866-495-0654 (toll-free).
Using isotretinoin may be linked with depression, psychosis, and, in rare cases, suicidal thoughts or attempts. The link between this medicine and depression is not clear and is being watched very closely. Talk to your doctor about the side effects of isotretinoin to decide whether it is right for you. If you are taking isotretinoin and feel depressed, see your doctor for treatment.

text: Shands employee gives patients first-class treatment Published: November 9, 2012 Case Manager Gary Enos knows it's in the details that exceptional care is provided to hospital patients. His dedication was noted earlier this year by airline employees at Jacksonville International Airport, who submitted a letter of praise to Shands Jacksonville. View Larger Image As Gary Enos talks into the receiver on his office phone, the cell phone sitting on his desk starts ringing.He quickly answers the cell, asks the person to please hold and then returns to his first call.Both are calls about his patients, soon to be discharged from Shands Jacksonville. Enos is their assigned case manager. He wants to make sure one patient has a good place to go when she's discharged. And he's helping ensure the other patient will get necessary medical equipment sent to his home.This phone-juggling moment is repeated many times in a typical day for Enos.He's rarely in one place for longer than five minutes. The only time Enos slows down long enough to focus on one thing is when he's standing in front of his patients. Then everything else comes to a stop as he listens to every word and watches body language.He can tell you that one patient doesn't like turkey sandwiches. And on a different floor, another patient wants ketchup. So Enos is off to get her some.It's not in Enos' job description to know his patients' dietary likes and dislikes. And he certainly isn't required to run down ketchup packets.But Enos knows those little details make a difference to his patients. The more he learns about them, the better he can help them as they make their transitions out of the hospital. And he's the first to tell you that all of his coworkers work just as hard to help their patients.As a registered nurse, Enos is strong clinically and understands his patients' needs, said Pamela Shiver, director of case management. She added: "He is funny and compassionate, and he looks for opportunities to make a difference."He's always looking for a way to make his patients more comfortable and help them as they prepare to return home. For instance, Enos and a colleague run a clothes closet for patients in need."He doesn't choose the easy road when he has the option to do so," Shiver noted.Enos's willingness to go further and do more has been noticed by more than just those he works with at Shands Jacksonville.At the end of May, Enos took a patient to the airport so he could catch a United Airlines flight to Newark, N.J. The patient had been taken to Shands a few days earlier because of breathing issues while he was on a quick stop in Jacksonville on his way to Newark.Enos said he would stay with the patient until boarding so he could switch the patient from the hospital oxygen tank to the mobile oxygen tank. But then the flight was delayed for five hours, and the United Airlines flight agents informed Enos about the delay, telling him he didn't have to stay and that they didn't have the authority to compensate him for his time or to pay for his parking.But Enos stayed, not only helping his patient but also helping others who were waiting."He was calling passengers' families on his own cell phone to inform them of the delay," United Airlines workers said in a letter to Shands Jacksonville. "He made sure everyone was hydrated with drinks. His compassion for these passengers was a godsend."While he waited, he made calls to help his other patients back at the hospital."Enos didn't have to stay. He didn't have to help everyone in the boarding area. He didn't have to spend his own money for parking. No nurse or case manager has ever done this much, either for a patient or for us, in the past," according to the letter.That was nothing to Enos, just part of his job. A job he loves.

GUI's in Java can baffle people particularly when dealing with awt after having already learnt Swing. One thing that many people struggle with when dealing with awt is the lack of those extra features that Swing has added. In my case as a programming designer I wanted to display information in a label but I wanted to have it in a multiline format. Awt has no inbuilt multi-line label capacity, so I wrote a class that would allow me to split a given string string at a given maximum character width without splitting any words.

Comedy star Walter Matthau was born Walter Matuschanskyayasky. His middle name was Foghorn and his mother was a gypsy. Or maybe not. These were jokes that he told so that he wasn't driven crazy by his constant procession of media calls. In truth, his surname was Matthow and his parents were Russian-Jewish immigrants in New York.
You know you shouldn't believe everything you read about famous actors and actresses. Here are eight stars whose life stories (or significant parts thereof) were as fictional as the movies they starred in.

Poll: Obama Leads Romney In Youth Vote, But Has Trouble Too
Reader Comments
For you gun lovers out there: Be advised, Mittens voted YES on 5 (FIVE) Anti-gun bills/legislation. (Easily verified info.) Now how is the NRA going to support Flipper with a straight face? I wouldnt be donating a dime to a group that shanghais its members like that!
And you guys below think that people are buying Romney's brand? If so you are completely out of touch with reality. Romney could be one of the weakest candidates the Republican party has ever put on the ballot. We saved GM, killed Osama Bin Laden, withdrawing from Iraq, and plan to leave Afghanistan. Not to mention unemployment going down and some growth in the economy that is showing an upswing. Romney is an extremely unlikeable candidate that even top Republicans have been uneasy about endorsing. The guy is a robot and judging by the things he has said on the campaign trail (etch a sketch etc) he is a moron. ROMNEY HAS A MORE LIBERAL HEALTH CARE PLAN PASSED IN MASSACHUSETTS WHILE HE WAS GOVERNOR under his belt, yet he claims to be a TRUE CONSERVATIVE? ROMNEY IS A FLIP FLOP! He says whatever he has to say to get elected, and it will show in November when his unenthusiastic supporters don't show up to the polls.
What diffene does it make ?These over parented entitled ,grade inflated ,freeloaders won't vote anyway.
The polls on this are so skewed they cannot be taken as even close to reality. Obama is currently having trouble with every group that elected him in 2008. People are not buying his brand anymore. It is one thing to be a good speaker but quite another thing to be the leader of the free world. Obama does not have the leadership qualities to be president. I'll put my money on Romney.
Don't believe in polls. Obama is a socialist and if the voters of this country reelect him, they will have placed all future generations in jeopardy. Since Obama took office as president, this country has become more lawless and Godless. Watch out, America, Germany made a grave mistake in the 30's, too.
If it was any other candidate but romney,the president would be in trouble.Romney has the flip flopping and the mass. healthcare law as a yoke he can not shed.Add to that the fact that he;s about exciting as cold oatmeal and does not inspire
people to rally around him.

HYDERABAD: A nine-year-old boy, who had gone missing since Friday in the Chandrayangutta area, is learnt to have been kidnapped by unknown persons. The incident came to light when the kidnapper called the parents and demanded Rs 15 lakh as ransom.
According to the Chandrayangutta police, the boy, Narasimha, 9, is a student of class IV in Gautami Talant School at Meerpet. Narasimha's father Venkateshwarlu is a security guard. Every day Narasimha used to go to school by school bus. He would get down at Keshavgiri and call his parents up from a public phone, and they would pick him up. Narasimha did not make the call on Friday. The family members searched for him in vain, and later lodged a complaint with the Chandrayangutta police. A missing case was registered on Friday. But on Monday, Venkateshwarlu received a call from an unknown person, stating that his son was kidnapped and would be released if he paid Rs 15 lakh.

Hey, I had a similar problem before, I realised the problem was the charger itself, you know how the magnetic head that links to your mac has 5 metal heads? Mine was broken or loose or something and it wouldn't always charge, I had to fiddle with it and set the computer upside and and stuff till I got the metal things to connect and charge the computer. I bought a new charger and now I have no problems charging my Macbook. hope this helps.

The West Islip Union Free School District and community need your support to encourage our legislators to repeal the Gap Elimination Adjustment (GEA) during the state budget process in the 2014-2015 school year. The GEA is a formula in the state budget that reduces the amount of aid each school district receives.
New York State introduced the GEA in 2009-10 when it was known as the Deficit Reduction Assessment in order to partially reduce the state's $10 billion budget deficit. To date, West Islip's aid has been reduced over $17 million as a result of the GEA. This annual practice is detrimental to quality education on Long Island and is not acceptable to taxpayers. Now is the time to work together to eliminate the GEA. Click here to print a letter that may be signed and mailed to legislators. You may also copy the text from the letter and paste it into an e-mail. Legislator mailing addresses and e-mail addresses are provided below. If you wish to learn more about the GEA, click here.

Greek Theater
Greek Theater
Greek theater was dominated by the works of five playwrights. Many of the great tragedies extant today were prize-winning works by Aeschylus (525-24 b.c. to 456-55), Sophocles (497 b.c. to 406), and Euripides (circa 484 b.c. to 407-06) and the famous comedies by Aristophanes (circa 447 b.c. to somewhere between 386-80) and Menander (342-41 b.c. to 290), among others.
Although the exact origins of Greek drama cannot be known with absolute certainty, most scholars believe its roots can be traced to the worship of Dionysus, the god of fertility and wine. Members of the cult of Dionysus practiced assorted religious rituals, including the dithyramb, possibly as far back as 1200 b.c. Although scholars do not fully understand the dithyramb, they speculate that the ritual involved a type of choric poetry, accompanied by dancers and flute playing. The choir, which numbered fifty persons, assumed roles of satyrs and maenads in honor of Dionysus. The cult and its rituals spread widely over the centuries, until most of Greece celebrated it. And as it spread across the nation, religious elements diminished and theatrical elements were expanded. In the sixth century b.c. great tellers of Homeric tales began to recite in public contests before audiences. Nowhere was this activity more prominent than in Athens, the densely populated cultural center of Greece. Sometime during the 6th century, a synthesis was achieved: a choir member, perhaps inspired by the epic presenters, stepped away from the others and their song and recited his own lines. His name was Thespis and, in asserting his individuality from the rest of the choir, he became the first actor. In 534 Thespis won first place in the drama competition at Athens's magnificent religious festival called the City Dionysia, which had been established four years earlier and would soon become an annual event. Scholars differ in their assessments regarding the nature of these very early plays, with some calling them little more than choric, and others deeming them fledgling tragedies. The satyr-play, which served as raucous, comic relief after the performance of three serious dramas in a row, first appeared in 501 b.c. The scale of the theater grew rapidly: the Theatre of Dionysus located near the Acropolis seated 17,000 and Plato estimated that some 30,000 spectators viewed various portions of the Dionysian festival's dramas.
Of the playwrights mentioned above, Aeschylus is credited with refining drama into an art form. His first victory in the City Dionysia was in 484 and he dominated the event for decades. He introduced the second actor on stage and this enabled an expanded story line, with more potential for conflict and dramatic situations. His work made great use of myth and legend and he included gods among his main characters. The second great writer of tragedy was Sophocles. His first victory in the City Dionysia contest was in 468; Sophocles was the first significant competitor to Aeschylus and is responsible for introducing three actors on stage at the same time. He did not neglect the potential of the ensemble and is noted for advancing characterization to a previously unheard of level. His irony-laced tragedies stress human interaction with other humans more so than relations between humans and gods. The last of the great Greek tragedians was Euripides, who first competed in 455. Although he did not achieve the popularity of Aeschylus or Sophocles in his own lifetime, possibly due to his emphasis on more realistic people and situations, Euripides's Medea (431 b.c.) is regarded as one of the finest achievements in the history of drama, and he is probably the most popular of the Greek playwrights today. Aristophanes was the first master of comedy, a dramatic form of unknown origin; scholars believe it likely has roots similar to tragedy. Aristophanes is the best representative of the period known as Old Comedy; the comedies of this time were highly political in nature, satiric, and fantastic. These evolved through a posited stage of Middle Comedy, arriving at New Comedy, represented by the last great Greek dramatist, Menander. Menander is silent on politics; his plays, which have been compared to modern era farces, deal with common people, their problems, and their romantic situations.
Modern thinking regarding the origin of Greek tragedy was advanced in 1872 by Friedrich Nietzsche in The Birth of Tragedy, where he proposed that its roots were in ritual and the cult of Dionysus. And although specific details of this theory remain in dispute, by and large, the majority of modern scholars subscribe to this point of view. A contemporary of Nietsche's, A. E. Haigh, explores many aspects of the festivals of Dionysus. J. R. Green discusses how drama changed as the written word became important in Greek society. Leo Aylen also examines Greek theater's origins, with an emphasis on the influences of war and religion. The impact of war can hardly be overstated: many of the greatest tragedies were written when Athens was at war with either Persia or Sparta, and Greece's defeat by the Spartans at the end of the Peloponnesian War profoundly affected its theater. However, despite considerable research, there is also a critical point of view that questions many of the accepted theories regarding Greek theater. For example, Clifford Ashby is skeptical of the conclusions reached by the majority of scholars, insisting that not enough facts are available to allow certainty regarding the nature and origins of Greek theater.

[In the following excerpt, Haigh describes the festivals celebrating Dionysus, particularly their drama contests.]
The ancient Athenian drama was in many respects unlike any kind of dramatic performance that we are accustomed to in modern times. The difference extended not only to the character of the plays themselves, and the manner in which they were presented upon the stage, but also to the circumstances under which the production took place. In order to form an accurate conception of the external features of the old Greek drama it will be necessary to dismiss from the mind many of the associations with which the modern stage is connected. In the first place, the luxury of having theatrical entertainments at every season of the year was a thing never heard of among the ancient Athenians. The dramatic performances at Athens, instead of being spread over the whole year, were confined within very limited periods. They were restricted to the two great festivals of Dionysus, the Lenaea and the City Dionysia. It is true that at these festivals the...

The history of the Greek theater is, as I have said, the history of a hundred years or so of life, twelve hundred years of imitation. To study the life and how it died is the center of all study of the Greek theater. But it may be as well to precede this with a summary of the main events that affected the development of the theater, as a background to the plays we possess.1
In 534 b.c., the Athenian tyrant Pisistratus founded the festival of the City Dionysia, whose main purpose was the presentation of plays and dithyrambs as a sacred competition.2 During the preceding century a form of dance drama had been developed to considerable subtlety, mainly in the Dorian parts of Greece. During the thirty years in which Pisistratus had been in power, an Athenian poet-choreographer called Thespis had developed this dance drama in the countryside of Attica, and he had then introduced spoken prologues and interludes between dances and thereby extended the possibilities of storytelling in this new art form, which had clearly become very popular by the time it was made the center of the new festival...

[In the following essay, Arnott contends that, because actors played multiple roles in the same production, some continuity in Greek theater was provided by the mask and costume, but that any given dramatic situation was meant to be taken essentially in isolation.]
We have suggested that, far from providing the rigid format that the neo-classicists attributed to it, the Greek theatre furnished an ambience that was infinitely flexible. In this imaginative world, the normal laws of time and space were suspended. Both were controlled by the wit of the dramatist.
To a large extent, this free-floating environment conditions plots that are themselves flexible, and can reshape themselves at will, no less than the setting does. We see this most conspicuously in comedy, which does not even have the parameters of a known story to act as a controlling factor. In Aristophanes, the plot may change direction without warning. The first half of The Frogs is built on Dionysus' passionate desire to resurrect Euripides. This motivates his journey to the Underworld, and carries him through many hazards to the gates of Hades. Only Euripides will do. He has no time for any other dramatist.
This takes us through to the parabasis. But when...

Condamnés à expliquer le mystère de leur vie, les hommes ont inventés le théâtre
Louis Jouvet, Témoignages sur le théâtre
To our eyes and ears Greek tragedies seem complex in both structure and thought, yet the establishment of the genre happened almost unbelievably quickly. According to tradition, Thespis first distinguished an actor from the choral group which lay at the basis of tragedy some time about 534 bc.1 Aeschylus, who was born only a decade later, began producing tragedies very early in the fifth century and had his first victory in the dramatic contests in 484 bc. Our earliest surviving tragedy dates to 472 bc, our latest to 405 bc. We have no complete tragedy written after that date and it would seem that scholars of Late Antiquity did not think later pieces worth preserving. Our surviving classical comedies are from an even shorter period. Aristophanes' Acharnians was produced in 425 bc, his Plutus in 388 bc.

[In the following essay, Ashby argues that the relatively few surviving Greek plays are not necessarily representative and nor are they likely the best theatrically, and that much of what has been written about Greek theater in ancient times is given too much credence by modern scholars.]
Both written and archaeological sources concerning the Greek theatre are generally well known. Ronald Vince has discussed them at some length in Ancient and Medieval Theatre; more recently, Eric Csapo and William J. Slater have covered much the same body of material in The Context of Ancient Drama. It may then seem redundant to chew over the same information …, but one has only to compare the readings by Vince with those of Csapo and Slater to see that each researcher places his own emphasis and interpretation on what is essentially the same body of material. Since my conclusions are based largely upon differing interpretation of the evidence, I hope that I may be forgiven for retracing the admirable work done by the above authors.

(chorus: Medea, 424-30)
The theatre of Athens was created by and for men, yet it is generally thought to contain some of the best female roles in the repertory. The contrast with Shakespearean theatre is a striking one. Why? The question has caused much concern in the late twentieth century.
The first surviving words of dramatic dialogue from the Greek world are actually written by a woman:
Virginity, virginity, you have left me: where have you gone? I shall never return to you, never return.(1)
The singer of the first line represents a bride, and the reply is by an individual or more probably a chorus playing the bride's lost virginity. Sappho wrote this text for a wedding on the...

Acupuncture for Chronic Sinusitis
Apr 18, 2012
Chronic rhinosinusitis is a chronic infection of the sinuses that causes nasal congestion, sinus pain, and headaches. Chronic rhinosinusitis, commonly called chronic sinusitis, affects your energy, sleep, and work. Some research suggest that chronic sinusitis can even lead to depression and anxiety.
Conventional medication often is not completely successful in treating the symptoms. Many patients have been turning to acupuncture Chinese medicine for help. In our New York City acupuncture clinic, we often use acupuncture, acupressure, and herbs to reduce the symptoms of sinusitis, especially during the spring allergy seasons which can exacerbate the sinusitis symptoms.
A comprehensive approach to chronic sinusitis
When it comes to treating chronic sinusitis, it is important to include many of the modalities used in acupuncture therapy. I use acupuncture, acupressure, and sometimes Chinese herbal remedies to help relieve the symptoms of chronic rhinosinusitis, help people reduce medication, and avoid surgery.
The acupuncture therapy targets acupuncture points on channels that help reduce pain and pressure in the sinuses. Acupuncture points can be located on the arms or legs on channels which travel to the sinuses. These points are LI 4, LI 11, Lu 5, SP 9, ST 36, St 44, GB 34, and SJ 5. For some people, acupuncture points on top of or near the sinuses are needed. These points can include LI 20, ST 4, Bi Tong, and Yin Tang.
Acupuncture points selection is based upon the imbalances which cause the condition. For example, acupuncture discusses the circulation of energy, or qi, in the body. If there too little qi, a common cause of sinus headaches, then the qi should be boosted with ST 36 and SP 9. But if there is more heat which often happens with inflammation, acupuncture points such as LI 11 or ST 44 should be selected.
Acupressure on the neck, head, shoulders, and back helps to increase circulation, decrease pain, and drain the lymph. I will also instruct my patients on a self acupressure routine for patients to perform on their own. Often, patients will begin to feel relief after a few acupuncture sessions.
It is important to understand that acupuncture is not an either or when it comes to your conventional therapies for chronic sinusitis. The first goal to is help you feel better. When you are consistently feeling better you can work with your physician to reduce the amount of medication.
Research on the Integrative East West Medicine approach
A paper was recently published examining an east west integrative treatment protocol for patients with recurrent chronic rhinosinusitis (1).
The treatment involved a combination of the patient's current therapies, most often nasal corticosteroid spray and nasal irrigation in addition to acupuncture, acupressure, dietary modifications, lifestyle modifications, and self-acupressure. As you can see, the researchers used a pretty comprehensive approach.
The study was small with only eleven patients. But it showed potential for this therapeutic approach. The patients, overall, reported improvements in their physical functioning, social engagement, less needing to blow their nose, and an improvement in their ability to concentrate. I hope that larger studies will be conducted to further explore the power of acupuncture to relieve symptoms, reduce dependence on medications, and help people avoid surgery.

What is Chinese Medicine?
Feb 13, 2012
Traditional Chinese Medicine is a term that refers to medicine practices developed in China and other parts of Asia. Traditional Chinese Medicine generally covers many types of modalities including acupuncture and moxibustion, Chinese Herbal remedies, Tui Na or Chinese Medical Massage, as well as other manual therapies including gua sha (spoon massage or coining) and cupping.
In China, the term Chinese medicine (in Chinese it is called Zhong Yi 中医) often refers to the practice of Chinese herbal medicine. Although it can also refer to the entire practice of Chinese medicine. While acupuncture refers to acupuncture and moxibustion.
Some of these therapies are performed only by experienced physicians, such as prescribing complex herbal formulas or doing acupuncture. But others are considered more home remedies. This may include folk herbal remedies for common colds or manual therapies such as gua sha which can be used for nausea, car sickness, the common cold, and other common illnesses.
Common ideas in Chinese Medicine
While the therapies are diverse, done both by physician and family members, they all rest on the holistic view of the body and health that developed over 2000 years ago. A primary idea is that health is a state of balance in the body and between the body and the environment. The body has qi, energy, which flows through channel and meridians. Also, that environmental factors such as cold, heat, and dampness can cause illness. And these environmental factors represent certain illness within the body.
For example, if you have a cold, a physician may write an herbal prescription to release the heat to help you get rid of the cold. But the home remedy of gua sha spoon massage on the neck and upper back can also release the heat.
Chinese Medicine: An Evolution of Ideas
Many of the dominant concepts in Chinese medicine were discussed in the early books of the Yellow Emperor's Inner Classics as well as the Treatise on Cold Diseases. Although they referenced older works, they are no longer in existence. Over the years, physicians and scholars have debated these ideas evolving into the contemporary tradition of modern Chinese Medicine.
Yet, it is important to understand that Chinese medicine is an evolving tradition. These are not static concepts, but ideas that scholars, physicians and even individual family lineages have expanded on and explored. Chinese medicine has a strong tradition of writing, discussion, and debate. There is a great diversity of ideas. Through experience and training a Chinese Medicine practitioner will develop their own style.
For example, certain physicians believed that the best way to use Chinese medicine for psoriasis was to clear heat and toxins from the body. However, other physicians believed that psoriasis developed from internal cold and the body must be warmed. These debates continue today.
In fact, some of the significant therapeutic strategies of modern Chinese medicine physicians were not developed until recently. As I mentioned in my last post, the development of electro-acupuncture for pain was only developed within the last century, a relatively short time for the history of Chinese medicine.
Natural Remedies for the Common Cold
Oct 11, 2011
This herb is best for preventing colds. Now, the change of seasons, is the perfect time to begin taking Ling Zhi. When the seasons change it is easy to get cold. Ling Zhi helps to prevent getting the cold be giving an immune boost. I take only a small dosage and still feel the improvement in my health.
It actually grows all over the United States. A few weeks ago, I went on an foraging tour with Wildman Steve Brill. We actually found Ling zhi on our trip in Westchester. If you are picking wild ling zhi, it is very important to go with a guide as many mushrooms can be dangerous.
Five Things I am Doing For My Allergies
Apr 15, 2011
This week my spring allergies kicked in big time. Sneezing, runny nose, itchy throat, congestion, and a headache. All this means I feel crappy and tired.
Luckily, I have many therapies at my fingertips for my allergies. Just as I do for my patients, I use a combination of acupuncture, acupressure, and herbal remedies for my allergies. Here are the five things.
1. Acupuncture for allergies is amazing. Acupuncture for allergies help to decrease pressure, pain, and headache. It can open up closed sinuses, and help to reduce itchy eyes and nose. Some of the best acupuncture points are Large Intestine 4 and Stomach 36 on the hand and leg. Also, DU 20, UB4, and UB 7 on the head work great.
2. Acupressure for allergies can be done both by an acupuncturist and also the patients themselves. I teach a routine in my acupressure class at the Open Center called the Dao Yin, which focuses on opening up the sinuses and increasing circulation in the head. It works wonders.
Start by massaging LI 20 on the side of the nose, and UB 1 near the eyes. Massage the scalp and the ears. LI 4 and ST 36 are also helpful with acupressure. I will be writing more about acupressure for allergies, check back soon.
3. Yin Qiao San is an herbal formula which helps to reduce scratch and sore throat. The formula is focused on releasing wind heat in the body. It is also effective for itchy eyes, particulatly if the herb man jing zi and ju hua are added to the formula.
4. My favorite herbal formula for nasal congestion and headache is called Bi Yan Pian. This literally means nasal clearing formula. This formula helps to open the sinuses, clear the nose, and reduce headache. It is very strong, so it is important to begin taking it in moderation.
5. Cang er zi tang is another formula for nasal congestion. This herbal formula for allergies I like to use as nasal drops. The herbs are finely powdered and immersed in sesame oil. This helps to reduce inflammation directly in the nose and moisten the nasal passage.
Review of Alternative Therapies for Interstitial Cystitis
Jan 18, 2011
If you are a reader of my blog and articles, you know that I am interested not only in the clinical effects of acupuncture, but also acupuncture research, and physiology of acupuncture. This is why it is unfortunate that there is a lack of studies for acupuncture and Chinese medicine treatment of Interstital Cystitis, a condition which I have very positive clinical result with acupuncture.
There is one published case study which describes the acupuncture treatment course of a 31 year old women with IC for 5 years. The treatment was very effective, over a course of 10 treatments there was a substantial reduction in pain and Interstitial Cystitis symptoms. More work like this should be published along with larger trials, and different approaches. There is also a very good article published at ITM Online about acupuncture for IC describing the theory of acupuncture and Chinese medicine for interstital cystitis.
There is a review of Complementary and Alernative medicine (CAM) therapies for IC which was published in 2002. It covers many different approaches to treatment and management, including acupuncture, Chinese herbal remedies, physical therapy, biofeedback, amongst others. They conclude, and I agree, that a combination approach is often the most effective method for at managing this condition. Which is why I combine acupuncture, acupressure, and sometimes, herbal remedies for my patients with interstital cystitis.
On the other hand, grouping so many different therapies into one analysis makes it difficult to explore any one of the modalities on its own. Each of the different CAM approaches, like acupuncture, homeopathy, and physical therapy have their own theories of diagnosis and treatment. Each must be examined on their own. Which bring me back to my original point, the unfortunate state that there has not been much research on acupuncture or Traditional Chinese Medicine for IC.
