Sharing Knowledge
Workshop on Climate Change Impacts and Adaptation Strategies for Arctic Indigenous Communities, September 20–21, 2008, Copenhagen, Denmark
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's Third Assessment Report identified Indigenous peoples as being among the groups most threatened by climate change. Principal factors leading to this vulnerability relate to Indigenous peoples' exposure to climate hazards and their high reliance on natural resources and ecosystems to sustain traditional livelihoods and cultural practices. Due to existing social and economic stresses on many communities, their capacity to cope with climate hazards is further reduced. Arctic Indigenous communities have to respond to major economic and cultural impacts. Their experience is an invaluable resource from which culturally appropriate adaptation strategies can be formulated. However, among the non-Indigenous scientific community there is little knowledge of the nature of Indigenous peoples specific vulnerability to climate impacts, or their past adaptation strategies. The importance of the interconnectedness between human health, culture and country for many Indigenous people must be understood by the non-Indigenous community for future work to be successful.

Two passengers are dead as a result of injuries suffered during a bus crash yesterday on State Route 1 in Delaware. The bus driver and passengers were taken to area hospitals for treatment.
The AM USA Express bus was turning onto an exit ramp when it overturned. The bus continued to slide on its roof, traveling down a slight grass embankment and then rotating onto its left side where it came to rest, said Delaware State Police Sgt. Paul G. Shavack.
The Delaware bus crash forced the closure of Del. 1 in both directions and caused hours-long delays and miles-long backups. Emergency responders needed 16 ambulances to treat and transport victims to local hospitals. Paramedics coordinated transportation with local hospitals as not to overload a single emergency department facility, said Paramedic Sgt. Michael A. McColley of New Castle County Emergency Medical Services.
The bus accident victims were part of a sightseeing tour group sponsored by E World Travel and Tours based in New York City. The group departed for the three-day trip from New York to Washington, D.C., and were on their way back to New York when the bus crash occurred, reported Philly.com.
This is not the first time an AM USA Express vehicle was involved in a bus crash during the last two years. According to federal motorcoach safety records , no passengers injured during the previous accident. Unfortunately, the Delaware bus accident victims were not so lucky.
"Bus companies must take the utmost care to ensure the safety of their passengers," said bus accident attorney and Anapol Weiss Shareholder Jim Ronca. "It's tragic when a bus accident causes the loss of life and catastrophic injuries."

Hosea (Program #5) – On Hosea (6)—Jehovah's Unchanging Love Versus Israel's Stubborn Unchastity (1)
The entire book of Hosea servers as a kind of metaphor showing us how Israel as God's wife was unfaithful to Him even becoming a harlot. Unfaithfulness in marriage always lead to more and more evil and sinfulness. And the same was true with Israel. She eventually became sinful in her social dealing, that's in her dealing with man. And also in her relationship with God on every level. Not only was Israel given fully to idolatry and sinfulness, but also she was stubborn refusing to turn back to Jehovah. In Chapter 7 referring to the stubbornness Jehovah says of Israel Ephraim is a cake not turned. By Chapter 11 Israel as this unturned cake refusing the admonition of Hosea and all the prophets eventually losses everything, including the temple, Jerusalem, the sacrifices, and ultimately the priesthood and the prophets.

Applying Split-Thickness Skin Grafts: A Step-by-Step Clinical Guide and Nursing Implications
Healing by second intention is the most predictable method in the terminal phase of wound healing. It is also the most damaging, frustrating, time consuming, (and) economically devastating.1
Split-thickness skin graft application is typically indicated for temporary or permanent coverage of cutaneous defects.2
These grafts traditionally are used to cover large areas of skin loss, granulating tissue beds, tissue loss across joints in areas where contraction will cause deformity, and where epithelialization alone will produce an unstable wound cover.3 Split-thickness autografts include epidermis and part of the dermis, depending on graft thickness. Some dermal skin appendages (eg, sweat glands, hair follicles, and sebaceous glands) remain at the donor site, which heals by epithelialization.4
Graft survival is predicated on several physiological events; the initial "take" (or incorporation) occurs by diffusion of nutrition from the recipient site (termed "plasmatic imbibition"). Revascularization generally occurs between days 3 and 5 by reconnection of blood vessels in the graft to recipient site vessels or by ingrowth of vessels from the recipient site into the graft. This phenomena is referred to as inosculation.5
Split-thickness skin grafts must be placed on well-vascularized beds with low bacterial counts to prevent infection. In addition, the grafts must be immobilized to prevent shearing and the formation of hematoma/seroma. The skin should be vented by fenestration ("pie crusting") or meshing and may ultimately have to undergo evacuation of excessive fluid build-up by aspiration or other means to prevent graft slough. Skin grafts generally will not "take" on poorly vascularized beds such as bare tendons, cortical bone without periosteum, heavily irradiated areas, or infected wounds. However, once cultivated, virtually any tissue type with a vascular granulating stroma may be an acceptable bed for grafting.1
Many different wounds may require skin grafts, including chronic nonhealing venous ulcers, traumatic lower extremity wounds, diabetic wounds, burns, and pressure ulcers, among others. Although each of these conditions has its own idiosyncrasies, the implications for nursing care of the graft and donor site are usually the same.
The following pictorial outlines a reliable and reproducible technique for split-thickness skin grafting that fosters fibrin adhesion, plasmatic imbibition, and inosculation. It also will aid dramatically in reducing the potential complications of hematoma, shearing, poor revascularization, and infection.
The specialized instruments used in skin grafting procedures are shown in Figures 1-3, and include:
* Zimmer air dermatome (Zimmer Patient Care, Dover, Ohio) with 1-, 2-, and 3-inch templates
* skin graft carrier (1.5:1 or 3:1)
* 2 wooden tongue blades
* marking pen
* jet lavage.
Applying Split-Thickness Skin Grafts
Step 1. The patient is brought into the operating room, appropriately positioned, and prepped and draped in the usual sterile manner. The length, width, and depth of the wound are measured to determine the size of the donor site (see Figure 4). All undermining must be taken into account and excised before grafting. When the skin is meshed, it will cover a larger surface area. If the wound is going to be excised rather than debrided, the depth of the lesion may increase dramatically and a larger piece of skin will be required for coverage. The template for the dermatome also should be selected at this time.
Step 2. The measurements are carefully drawn at the donor site with a surgical marking pen (see Figure 5). The donor site can be in various locations, including the outer thigh, the inguinal ligament region, the posterior leg, the lateral malleolus, the popliteal fossa, or the dorsal foot. The area is then prepped with sterile mineral oil. Tongue blades work best in the application of this substance as gauze will absorb too much of the oil.
The template and dermatome blade also are coated with a thin layer of the oil (see Figure 6). At this juncture, the thickness of the graft is determined and can range from 0.0008 of an inch to 0.020 of an inch. The author prefers a harvested graft of 0.0015 of an inch, if feasible. Each patient has different requirements (the thinner the graft, the better the "take").
Step 3. At the donor site, the tongue blades are placed distal and proximal for the purpose of applying some tension. The dermatome is positioned at approximately a 45-degree angle so the underlining skin markings can be visualized before taking the skin (see Figure 7). The dermatome moves downward until contact is made with the skin. The instrument then moves almost parallel to the donor site. Steady and equal pressure is applied while the skin is under tension until the appropriate amount of donor skin has been procured. The dermatome is then slowly angulated upward, releasing the skin from the site. During this process, having an assistant tease the skin from the dermatome to prevent it from getting caught in the blade is important. The donor site is then allowed to sanguinate for several minutes before it is covered with xeroform (Medline Industries, Inc., Mundelein, Ill.) gauze. This will aid in adherence to the site and will be less problematic for the patient.
Step 4. The donor skin is transferred (dermal side up to avoid any confusion regarding orientation) to a skin graft carrier in preparation for meshing (the skin will curl toward the dermis. See Figure 8). Atraumatic forceps should be used to prevent tearing the skin. The clinician should make certain that the dermal carrier is ridged side up or the skin will not mesh. This side of the carrier is usually marked; clinicians can feel the ridges with their fingers.
The skin is prepped with saline, gently spread out so no curled edges or air bubbles are visible, and the carrier is placed in the mesher (see Figure 9). As the skin is being meshed, an assistant should tease the skin away from the mesher to prevent shredding. This author prefers the 1.5:1 mesh; the 3:1 is also useful, especially for larger defects. The skin is covered with moistened saline gauze. If a mesher is not available or the skin is too large to fit the carrier, it can be "pie-crusted" to facilitate drainage which is easily performed with an #11 blade.
Step 5. The wound site should be debrided with cold steel or excised, including any undermining. During debridement, the edges of the wound will need to be "freshened" or excised (see Figure 10) and then flushed with jet lavage (see Figure 11) to thoroughly cleanse the wound bed. The author prefers to incorporate antibiotics such as bacitracin or polymyxin in this solution; however, normal saline is also acceptable. All bleeders are clamped and/or cauterized at this time to prevent the formation of hematoma.
Step 6. The carrier is held adjacent to the wound, and the skin is teased off this device and placed directly over the defect (see Figure 12). The harvested skin had been placed on the carrier dermal side up, so repositioning is unnecessary.
The graft is then stapled in place. Sutures, steri-strips, or nonadherent dressings also can be used for this purpose (see Figure 13).
Step 7. A stent dressing is fabricated by creating at least four long sutures opposing each other at the wound site. Several materials can be used to fabricate this dressing. The author places moistened gauze in a large piece of Vaseline(R) gauze (Chesebrough-Ponds Inc., Greenwich, Conn.) and folds it, creating a "ball" of petroleum jelly. He applies this gauze to the wound site and sutures it in place with long sutures (see Figure 14). This dressing creates continuous compression of the harvested skin against the wound bed.
Step 8. The donor site is dressed with xeroform, sterile gauze, and a mild compression dressing (see Figures 15a-15c). Although the author prefers foam tape, paper tape is also acceptable.
Step 9. The wound is dressed with sterile gauze, fluffs, ABD pads or combine dressing (Surgipad, Johnson and Johnson, Arlington, Tex.), and a soft gauze wrap. A posterior splint is applied under a double 6-inch Ace (Becton, Dickinson, and Company, Franklin Lakes, NJ) wrap (see Figure 16).
Step 10. The patient is required to stay in the hospital for 23 hours at full bed rest and is discharged with no weight bearing on the affected limb. After gait training from a physical therapist, a walker is usually dispensed to aid mobility. The original dressing is left intact for approximately 1 week unless deleterious signs such as pain, fever, or bleeding are present. A home healthcare nurse will visit the patient for the first 3 days postoperatively to assess circulation of the limb and to monitor vital signs. The patient is then seen weekly by the clinician and the splint is incorporated in the dressing for a period of at least 2 weeks.
The gauze at the donor site is usually removed several days postoperatively (see Figure 17); the xeroform gauze is usually left intact and allowed to dry to peel off. Although this appears to be contrary to the precepts of moist wound healing, it seems to be the most efficient and least problematic option for the patient. The physician should be aware that the donor site can be more painful for the patient than the graft site.
Additional Considerations
A topical antibiotic such as Bactroban (SmithKline Beecham, Philadelphia, Pa.) or Silvadene (Monarch Pharmaceuticals, Bristol, Tenn.) should be applied to the wound site for 1 week before surgery to decrease bacterial colonization.
Some surgeons advise examining the graft site within 4 days postoperatively for the purpose of evacuating hematoma/seroma, if necessary. The author has found that proper application of the stent dressing has virtually eliminated this problem.
At the first dressing change, before the stent is removed, the bolus may be saturated with hydrogen peroxide. The bolus will expand like a sponge and pull away from the wound so it can be teased away without lifting up the grafted skin. Hydrogen peroxide can be cytotoxic; therefore, care should be taken to avoid the wound itself.
The use of prophylactic antibiotics is controversial; however, the author recommends Ancef (SmithKline Beecham, Philadelphia, Pa.) 1 gram IV, 1/2 hour before surgery and then every 8 hours while the patient is in the hospital. For patients with penicillin allergy, the author recommends clindamycin 600 mg IV in the same regimen as above or Levaquin IV (Ortho-McNeil, Raritan, NJ) 500 mg every 24 hours.
Nursing Implications
Donor site. During the procedure, the physician will apply xeroform, which remains in place until it exfoliates on its own. The xeroform can be trimmed as it peels away from the donor site. The clinician should make sure a protective dressing, such as lyofoam, is applied until the site is healed.
The clinician will need to instruct the patient that he or she may have more pain at the donor site than at the graft site. Pain relief measures should be offered, as well as information on donor site care.
Graft site. The clinician will perform the first dressing change approximately 7 days after the procedure, which involves the following:
* Remove the dressing slowly. Keep in mind that moistening the dressing with saline may be necessary to avoid damage to the graft. If a stent dressing is in place, the physician or nurse who is skilled in this area should perform the removal. Hydrogen peroxide is sometimes used to lift the dressing from the graft site. However, this substance can be cytotoxic; therefore, it should not come into contact with the graft, if possible.
* Note amount, color, and odor of drainage.
* Gently cleanse the site with saline irrigation and pat with dry gauze.
* Apply Adaptic (Johnnson + Johnson, Somerville, NJ), Mepitel (Molnlycke Health Care, Eddystone, Pa.), or a similar dressing material directly onto the graft. Then cover it with lyofoam, gauze, gauze roll, and mild compression with a 3- to 4-inch Coban (Medline, Mundelein, Ill.). You may slit the top of the Coban to allow for any swelling. If the physician has recommended a splint, reapply per the physician's order for the prescribed length of time.
* With each dressing change, assess the site for any signs of maceration. If excessive maceration occurs, apply xeroform and lyofoam, or a plain hydrocellular dressing.
* Protect the area from pressure and/or shear injury
. * Assess for signs and symptoms of wound infection and report these to the physician as needed.
* Assess the graft site for signs of graft failure and report these to the physician as needed.
* This dressing remains in place for 5 to 7 days.
The clinician will perform the second dressing change 5 to 7 days later, which involves the following:
* Gently and slowly remove the dressing. If the dressing sticks, moisten it with saline.
* If a large amount of drainage is noted, increasing dressing changes to every 3 to 5 days may be necessary.
* Assess the area for signs and symptoms of infection and report these to the physician.
* Assess the graft site for signs of failure and report these to the physician.
* The previous dressing may be continued if no problems with maceration are evident. If maceration is a problem, use xeroform with lyofoam or lyofoam alone.
* The frequency of dressing changes after 2 weeks following the graft will depend on the status of the wound and physician orders.
Expectations at the graft site. Moderate drainage and scant malodor with absence of signs of infection may be due to the length of time the dressing has been in place and is usually no reason for alarm. The physician may incorporate a splint in the dressing for at least 2 weeks and prescribe a walker or wheelchair initially to help prevent weightbearing on the affected limb.
The services of a home healthcare nurse during the first 3 to 4 days after discharge will be helpful in assessing any complications.
Clinicians always should remember that caring for both the graft and donor sites should incorporate good wound care techniques. In order to avoid graft failure, clinicians should stress patient cooperation, compliance, and education.
Split-thickness skin grafting represents a reliable procedure for coverage of many cutaneous lesions. This paper has outlined a technique that helps foster fibrin adhesion, plasmatic imbibition, and inosculation. By following the basic precepts of wound healing along with meticulous tissue handling, split-thickness skin grafting has the potential to play an important role in wound management and limb salvage.- OWM

A coalition leads the way to system transformation
2010 – present. 2+ years.
In 2004, California passed Proposition 63, a groundbreaking piece of legislation known as the Mental Health Services Act (MSHA).
This Act mandates that stakeholders in the public mental health system would—for the first time ever— become a main factor for planning, procedures, service delivery, evaluation and the definition and determination of outcomes for county funded programs.
A year and a half after coming together for this monumental charge, the stakeholder group was in the throes of dysfunction. Personality clashes, tempers, and emotionally-charged meetings kept them from doing the work.
For this project, Marz Consulting paired with a close colleague who specializes in orchestrating processes for large, complex systems. Initially, we found that the process lacked structure, norms, and shared agreements among members. Group members varied widely in their perspectives and background. In truth, despite the differences, the people in the stakeholder group shared a common goal: to make sure services were relevant to the needs of clients and their family members. This gave us plenty of common ground to build upon.
This coalition has created clear governance structures and agreements. It now has a committee tasked with planning agendas for each large, monthly meeting. This sets the group up for more positive and productive outcomes. The coalition has refined elaborate county plans for dozens of programs, and has made funding recommendations for innovative programming. Their input is sought and incorporated by the Mental Health Director and program staff. In other words, they are now shaping the system.
And at a fundamental level, this coalition has earned one another's trust and respect. Where there was bickering and suspicion, there is now more awareness of the whole system (and a commitment to move beyond self-advocacy).
While still a work in progress, there is now a relevant, functional venue for client and family member input into public programming that touches the lives of millions.back to top
A partnership "does the work" to advance their shared mission
9 months.
Three conservation non-profits saw the writing on the wall: they could achieve more and secure future funding if they worked together… not just on their own.
So they formed a long-term partnership. Several years in, they'd come across the normal "growing pains" of this kind of relationship. The difference in organizational cultures. Imbalances of power. Role confusion. And lack of confidence in where the proverbial buck really stops.
Marz Consulting was brought in for the work we do with foundations and non-profits. For this project, our thought partner and co-lead was an attorney by training. The nature of this project was data-driven, requiring her methodical expertise and exquisite attention to detail.
First, we measured the partnership's strengths and challenges. We collected data from the core team of 12 as well as an extended working group of 50.
At a two-day retreat, we presented the data. We then helped them come up with an action plan that harnessed the strengths and particular cultures of each organization. These findings were then rolled out to the larger team. Once back home, we worked with a smaller team to create a comprehensive, 30-page report that distilled what the group learned… and provided a detailed road map of recommendations going forward.
The report now serves as a touchstone as the partnership faces important decisions and challenges. It's a reference that's used regularly to guide the partnership. Now that they are working together as a trio, this partnership has also taken leadership in promoting healthy partnerships among other conservation groups.
A founder leaves in the middle of rapid growth – now what?
Spring 2010 – present. 2 years.
In a short period of time, a B Corporation had grown from a scrappy start-up to a $20 million dollar organization. (A B Corporation is a mission-driven, for profit entity.)
Its leadership was largely grassroots activists who were, understandably, still learning how to manage the budget and operations of a venture of this size. On top of that, the organization's original founder had recently left, with little succession planning. The pace of change was feverish.
Marz Consulting brought in a former VP of AT&T, who saw his share of rapid growth in the telecommunications industry over three decades. He also brings extensive experience as a great team leader through unprecedented and massive organizational change.
The project is two-fold: develop the leadership and teamwork capabilities of the organization's leaders. And support their ability to act strategically in the business.
To begin, Marz Consulting paired everyone on the team with a private leadership coach. Individual coaching helps team members quickly integrate new information and tailor it to their style and role in the organization.
We simultaneously meet with the leadership team to develop their team identity, communication, and decision-making skills. On the business side, we are guiding them through a reexamination of their mission, vision, and values.
This freshly-minted leadership team has crossed one of most difficult hurdles of an organization: weathering the departure of the founder.
The organization's revenue continues to increase. They've expanded their staff, services, and products. And the leaders have developed a habit of pushing decision-making "downward"… so other managers and staff are more empowered to decide and act on their own.back to top
A team discovers a more proactive approach
One year.
A six-person team at a global environmental foundation with a multi-million dollar annual budget wasn't getting along. The work was fast-paced, high-pressure… and highly politicized.
Because this group oversaw one of the nation's largest granting budgets, communication, the ability to think and act on their feet, and work in concert with one another were crucial. But with two upper level members on the team, their "direct reports" were unhappy. They didn't know how to fix it.
Marz Consulting paired with a foundation expert with global experience. Together, we set up a custom yearlong program to diagnose the issue and train the team.
To get a baseline, we assessed how the team was currently engaging one another. When it came to making decisions and getting work done together, were they more reactive or proactive?
The assessment revealed, not surprisingly, that this team was operating in "crisis mode" as a matter of habit… and this habit impacted everything—communication, workflow, productivity, and morale.
Over the course of 4 half-day intensive retreats, we helped the team design an action plan to evolve they way they worked. Then, we met with the team monthly to celebrate progress and course-correct along the way.
At the end of a year, we assessed the team (using the same tool from earlier in the year). In the post-test we saw a 40% decrease in team's reactive, knee-jerk tendencies. We also saw an 85% increase in creative (or proactive) leadership skills, such as achieving results, systems awareness, authenticity, and relating.
Over time, the team learned how to move decision-making responsibility "downward," that is, closer to the work (it had been clustered "at the top" creating a bottle neck).
They ran more focused weekly meetings. They identified opportunities for mentoring assistant-level staff—resulting in a big boost to morale. Best of all, as this team became more practiced and confident, they began to teach their best practices to other teams in the organization.
Within a year, they became the model of a high-performing team within their organization.back to top
A young leader is called to found an organization
November 2009 – present. 2+ years.
Early in her career, the interim Executive Director of a regional nonprofit was charged with "winding down" an organization which had run its course.
She didn't have much support. And as a single mother, work-life balance was an ongoing struggle. Once completed, she planned to look for another post that would draw on her knack for details and organizing.
In the process of closing the organization's doors, we uncovered new information about her skills, leadership ability, and value to the community.
Through leadership training and inquiry, this young leader got feedback she wasn't expecting. According to people around her, her talents went well beyond "being organized"… she, in fact, is a bridge builder and "connector." They also let her know that these talents were sorely needed within the broader Social Justice community in the Southwest.
The message: don't leave this arena. It is time for YOU to found a new organization, built on YOUR vision for Social Justice and YOUR leadership. As she became clearer on what her personal mission, vision, and values were, she was approached by funders who—quite literally—were calling her to stay and lead.
This opportunity aligned with what she saw for herself. So she made the decision to found a new organization. She's since hand-picked an expert Advisory Board and established the structures and protocols she'll need to fulfill her mission. She's secured a significant portion of her funding. And the organization is on track to open its doors the summer of 2012.back to top

Director, Agency Services
When you conjure up great food and drink experiences, you might think of a fabulous meal by a celebrity chef, or a sommelier-led wine tasting, or local cuisine prepared with fresh ingredients.
You probably don't think of having all these on a cruise.
Cruise lines have realized the enormous appetite of travelers for fine cuisine, wine and spirits. The World Food Travel Association says more than 39 million people are culinary travelers, seeking out food and beverage experiences around the world. Dining is consistently one of the top three favorite travel activities, and all demographics love food equally.
For me, a self-professed lover of all things food, wine and spirits, the more than 10 cruises that I've been on have provided amazing opportunities to enjoy all of these loves while exploring the world. Here are my eight ways to make the most of the myriad ways to indulge in great cruise food and drink experiences.
1. Open your mind to new experiences.
Gone are the stereotypical days of extravagant buffets and cruisers filling their pockets with crab legs before the seemingly endless piles vanish. Not to say that there aren't still buffets on cruise ships. But the buffets of today cater to a more discerning and well-traveled client.
Because of the international nature of cruising, the breakfast buffet might include congee and dumplings. Or maybe kippered herring, muesli or sliced meats and cheeses alongside traditional American staples of cereal, yogurt, eggs and pastries. The lunch buffet might be like visiting Japan, Greece, Ireland, Italy and Germany in one 50-foot stretch.
For my friends and dining companions last year on Silversea Cruises, the amount of sushi that I consumed every day from the lunch buffet became embarrassing. We got to the point where our waiter would see me coming and prepare a plate of sushi to be sent to the table. I can still taste that salmon sashimi.
Remember that the buffet isn't like the Thanksgiving table; you don't have to get it all at once. Eat in courses, try things and enjoy!
2. Master the main dining room.
This can enhance your cruise immensely. Most cruise lines now offer open seating – meaning that you can eat at any time you like rather than at a set time.
The great thing about the main dining room is its flexibility. The menu might offer appetizers, entrees and dessert, but guess what? You can order any or all of them in whatever configuration suits your mood.
If you want three appetizers and no dessert, then fine, that is what you'll have. If you order the wiener schnitzel and then notice that someone at an adjacent table has the shrimp scampi and you want it too, it is yours. Don't see shrimp cocktail on the menu but it's your favorite? Just ask and chances are they'll make it just for you. My mom enjoyed it every night on our last cruise in October.
3. Discover the specialty restaurants.
Specialty restaurants on many ships offer five-star dining experiences, comparable to some of the world's great restaurants. Celebrity chefs are now as common on cruise ships as the swimming pool. Nobu Matsushisa, Todd English, Jacques Pepin, and Jamie Oliver (to name a few) all work with cruise lines in menu design, chef restaurants and cooking demonstrations. They're elevating cruise food to new levels.
Steakhouses, sushi bars, Italian trattorias, French dining – all of these can be found on cruise ships. Craving escargot or maybe a Pittsburgh-style steak? You can get these in the middle of the ocean.
I had one of the best goat cheese soufflés of my life recently on board Azamara Club Cruises. Yes, there is typically a surcharge at the specialty dining restaurants. But many cruise lines now offer packages that discount that rate. So whether you want to buy a package and enjoy the specialty restaurants multiple times, or pay the one-time upcharge for one splurge evening, take advantage of them and their over-the-top menus.
Depending on the cruise line and the category of cabin in which you'll be staying, sometimes reservations are included and can be made well in advance. Other lines require you to book onboard. When booking onboard, don't be dismayed if the time and date you want is not available. Many times there are cancellations, so spots open up daily. Befriend the maitre d' and you'll be surprised what can happen for you.
4. Buy bar and wine packages.
Is there a particular sprit that you enjoy each evening? Maybe a dry Belvedere martini with a lemon twist or a Glenlivet scotch neat? The premium bar packages on many lines allow you to have these same comforts onboard the ship at a price not much more than you pay at home.
Rather than paying $20 each evening for your martini like in a fine restaurant, your daily rate pays for itself in one drink. On my last cruise on Azamara, the premium bar package was less per day than one cocktail with my favorite spirit. Great deal for me and no guilt if I decided to splurge and have a second one.
Love wine? Consider a wine package where you can pick premium bottles of wine from around the world and enjoy them at any restaurant on the ship.
Can't finish the bottle? The sommelier will cork if for you and it will be waiting the next night, just like you are at home.
5. Opt for a cozy dinner in.
If you had a busy day of exploring on shore and just want to cocoon in your room that night, order room service. Unlike a hotel on land, it's included in the price of your cruise. And it's generally available 24/7 for any late-night cravings.
On certain lines, waiters will set up a table in your room and – just like at a restaurant – return with each new course as you've finished the last one.
6. Take advantage of all your cruise food options.
Your dining isn't confined just to the buffet or the main dining room. Get to know all the ship's venues and sample their wares.
Have a casual meal on deck at the barbecue grill. Enjoy a snack or dessert at the ice cream shop. Indulge in special late-night culinary offerings after a show or nightcap. Savor a morning beverage and pastry at a coffee bar.
7. Pick your shore excursions with food and drink in mind.
With so much traveler interest in local food and beverages, most lines offer culinary experiences while in port. You might taste wine in one of the world's most acclaimed wine regions, tour a distillery, explore local farmers markets with one of the ship's chefs or try a local specialty like olive oil in Italy or rice vinegar in Japan. You may be able to dine in a Michelin-starred restaurant or in a private home.
8. Take a specialty food or wine cruise.
There's an array of cruises just for the foodie traveler:
- Oceania Cruises offers Culinary Discovery Tours, which take small groups to a market, farm or vineyard and then to a cooking school to prepare the local ingredients. The line also features a culinary studio on board, where passengers can try their hand at a variety of cuisines including Greek and Moroccan.
- Silversea offers Culinary and Wine Voyages featuring menus by world-renowned chefs, chef demonstrations, vintner lectures, private tastings in famed wine regions, and cooking classes and competitions.
- Holland America Line has Culinary Arts Centers on each ship that offer classes and wine tastings.
- Crystal Cruises' Experiences of Discovery voyages include hands-on cooking classes, demonstrations, wine tastings, mixology lessons, and a guest chef dinner.
- River cruises offer an array of culinary temptations. AmaWaterways has sailings devoted to wine and chocolate. Its Limited Edition Tours visit cooking schools, culinary specialty shops and farms, as well as provide cooking lessons. Ponant offers gourmet cuisine sailings, and Avalon Waterways has sailings focusing on food and wine.
Do you have a memorable cruise food or drink experience to share?

I have had RA since I was 11. I had two hip replacements ten years back which worked brilliantly.
I am now looking into wrist replacement as my right wrist has almost no motion and am unable to carry a shopping bag, wash up, blow dry without causing serious pain. Even swimming and riding a bike really hurts.
I saw a surgeon who explained to me that wrist replacements were nothing like hip replacements which are more or less like giant lego, and who swore black and blue that fusion was the only viable option and wrist replacements are a mess. From what I have read though the technology is getting better. So I guess my issue is which procedure to get done and how long to wait if better wrist replacements do come along.
I have four questions.
1. Has anyone had a wrist replacement or a wrist fusion?
2. If so what has your experience been like?
3. Does waiting too long create problems?
4. Could you type after? I work part-time and it requires me to use the keyboard and mouse a lot?

It's fact. The highly respected Performance Bikes magazine has rated the latest Dunlop GP Racer SLICK D212 as the top tyre in test of five brands.
It all happened at Europe's fastest racing circuit - the demanding Rockingham Motor Speedway in the UK. The magazine put the tyres to the test using the 9-turn National Circuit for its combination of heavy braking zones, long traction areas and corner sequences. It's some mighty test for the tyres ability to handle quick direction changes!
The slick versions of each manufacturer's latest track day offerings were tested. Then feedback was gathered from two expert riders - neither knew what make of tyre they were testing. We're talking about no less than the racing legend Chris Walker, World Superbike race winner and John McAvoy, Performance Bikes Road Tester. They both used the Kawasaki ZX-10R for the test.
"This tyre instantly transformed the front end and made the ZX-10R turn in like a full blown racing super bike!" Chris Walker.
McAvoy agreed, giving the tyres (GP Racer SLICK D212) 10/10 in this test.
John McAvoy
Both test riders gave the Dunlop GP Racer SLICK D212 their top score for mid corner performance. "Tracked its line perfectly", claimed McAvoy.
Chris Walker
"Loads of feedback, loads of confidence…the front turns so quickly and grips so much that it feels like a video game," high praise from McAvoy
Performance Bikes magazine
This is the latest success for the Dunlop GP Racer D212. Available in slick and road legal versions, the latter was used to win the final round of the French Superbike Championship. That's where Lucas Mahias rode the GMT94 Yamaha to victory in both Supersport races.
What makes the Dunlop GP Racer D212 such a winner?
It is down to proven race proven technologies including:
>> New Multi-Tread compound designed to improve durability, warm-up time and ultimate grip
>> Revolutionary NTEC system which allows pressure tuning for optimum road or track performance
The Dunlop GP Racer D212 is a winner in races, a winner in tests. Now what more proof could you want?

Subject: Health Care Army
Maybe you will want to sign up for the "new army".
So, what does that bring us to? Well, take a look at what can be found on page 1,311 of that "health care" reform bill that passed on Sunday ...
Section 203 of the Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C. 204) is amended to read as follows:
(a) ESTABLISHMENT.-
(1) IN GENERAL.-There shall be in the Service a commissioned Regular Corps and a Ready Reserve Corps for service in time of national emergency.
(2) REQUIREMENT.-All commissioned officers shall be citizens of the United States and shall be appointed without regard to the civil-service laws and compensated without regard to the Classification Act of 1923, as amended.
(3) APPOINTMENT.-Commissioned officers of the Ready Reserve Corps shall be appointed by the President and commissioned officers of the Regular Corps shall be appointed by the President with the advice and consent of the Senate.
(4) ACTIVE DUTY.-Commissioned officers of the Ready Reserve Corps shall at all times be subject to call to active duty by the Surgeon General, including active duty for the purpose of training.
(5) WARRANT OFFICERS.-Warrant officers may be appointed to the Service for the purpose of providing support to the health and delivery systems maintained by the Service and any warrant officer appointed to the Service shall be considered for purposes of this Act and title 37, United States Code, to be a commissioned officer within the Commissioned Corps of the Service.
(b) ASSIMILATING RESERVE CORP OFFICERS INTO THE REGULAR CORPS.-Effective on the date of enactment of the Affordable Health Choices Act, all individuals classified as officers in the Reserve Corps under this section (as such section existed on the day before the date of enactment of such Act) and serving on active duty shall be deemed to be commissioned officers of the Regular Corps.
(c) PURPOSE AND USE OF READY RESERVE.-

BooYAH! Wait for it (cuz it'll jus surprise everyone here): more rightwing nonsense pumped out by rightwing think tanks to rile up the credulous righties against anything that can be manufactured (whether true or false) against BHO or the Dems, etc.
Fake "Newz" Andrew Napolitano was railing against this yesterday, which is clue numero uno that it's bullshit and a lie.
There seems to be some confusion about how old the Ready Reserve Corps is; wait for Snopes to catch up with the research on it. Media Matters takes it back to teh eeevul Pres John Adams - horrid socialistcommienazitotalitarian that he was.
It appears the the Health Care leg, does in fact, contain some language about this corps, which has been existence for *at least* 60 years or longer. Of course, most of the posts are by contards whining obediently that if BHO and the Dems have amended this in some way, then it axiomatically means a priori that it is eeeevul and the end of life as we know it. The end.
Contards might be interested to learn that a lot of the pork added to the Health Care Leg was mainly added by Republicans, who demanded that the pork be added and then refused to vote for the bill, anyway.
Meh... anyone who believes that it's only Democrats who add pork and other items to legislation needs to wake up and learn what reality really means. This kind of junk goes on under any admin; I may not like, but I don't see giant conspiracy theories constantly. A few more tin foil hats might look well on conservative heads.
But the rightwing thinktank accomplished their goal. Whining victimizing conservatives ever at the ready to do their Pavlovian dog salivating....
Oh blah de blah dah... do dah do dah

Conservatives quake in their shoes at the thought of a Ready Reserve Corps of doctors available to assist in case of disaster, but they fight to the nth degree to support the rights of Xtian Militias and so-called citizen Minutemen groups to patrol our borders and threaten to overthrow our government, while carrying actual guns and other weapons.
WTF??? Does. not. compute.
Oh right: we're not dealing with reality here. We're dealing with conservative fantasy land.
PS to Marc: good one! lol (about the size of it).

Apparently this is the code in question. Looks like just an expansion of the definition of the medical wing of the existing Army Reserve Corps to me.
It's depressing to think we would have to deploy reservists just to handle basic health needs in our own country. Best health care in the world!
- 06 April, 2010 04:34
- ferschitz said...
It is a sad commentary on the "best health care system in the world," which is a lie and bullshit. This is indicative of how broken our health care system is.
However, it's not indicative that BHO is booga booga booga out to "get" citizens. Conservatives need to take a breath.

29 August 2008
Since his retirement from competition last year Olympic gold medallist Jason Gardener has taken on the role of UK School Games ambassador.
The Games are an event close to Gardeners' heart, both with this year's location and the progression of young athletes to world-class level.
The Bath born athlete has been working hard promoting sports within schools around the country as well as working with some of the countries most talented school age athletes.
He said: "The fact that the games were being held in Bath and Bristol has given me a great opportunity to put a little bit back to in to grass roots sports in the region.
"It also gives me a great opportunity to inspire some of our most talented school age children and I have no doubts that the athletes here will move on to Olympic level and be our future champions.
"It has already been proven with Ashlee Nelson (City of Stoke) who won the women's 100 metres in Coventry last year and was recently part of the Olympic 4x100m relay squad."
Gardner's role as Ambassador offers him an opportunity to embrace all the sports at the games but he'll still have one eye on the athletics events which take place on Saturday and Sunday.
"Of course my sport is athletics, but being part of a multi-sport competition as an athlete, for Britain or England, it was always great to cheer on your fellow countryman.
"I was out in Beijing and I was at the cube watching our swimmers, or the Velodrome watching our cycling team before spending the majority of my time in the birds-nest.
The athletics programme kicks of on Saturday 30th with the women's 300 metres hurdles.

The School Centred Initial Teacher Training (SCITT) route into teaching is exactly the same as School Direct Fee Funded. As a SCITT we work with local schools, equipped with skilled and experienced mentors to support SCITT trainees. The support trainees 'receive from their mentor and from lead mentors is highly effective. Trainees receive valuable support from their mentors.' (Ofsted 2018)
This is a very practical route into teaching, offering hands on teaching experience from the very beginning, that is supported and facilitated by fully qualified, practising teachers.
Through the SCITT you will be supported by an experienced class based mentor to ensure you develop and grow into an outstanding teacher. In addition to this, the SCITT will also provide you with a Quality Assurance Tutor who will regularly visit you and provide constructive feedback and support.
You will spend (on average) one day a week at centre based training, within Lincoln. All training is delivered by teachers from within our partnership schools, or national and local education consultants. The rest of your time you will spend within your 'host' school. An important part of the programme is your second school placement, which is guaranteed to take place within your locality, within a school that is contrasting to your host school. In addition to this, we also work with a number of special schools and PRU's to provide you with a one week experience, to support your understanding of how to cater for children with additional needs.
The reason this course has a high employability rate is that the teaching, theory and development occurs within the school, as a result of working with children and teachers from day one.
Our programme will ensure you have experienced the full spectrum of life within a primary school and are therefore more prepared to undertake your NQT (Newly Qualified Teacher) year. Those who have undertaken school based routes are recognised as being more classroom ready by employers.
All trainees will be qualified to teach children aged 3-11. But you must choose a specialist age range to train within. Age ranges are: 3-7 or 5-11.
Are you more of a hands-on practical learner? If so, this is the route for you!
SCITT Core places
Financial Information
- Course Fee £8,500 (QTS only);

Beginning in June, a co-branded travel channel on ideeli.com will offer devotees of the flash sale site 100 opportunities each month to tap into a curated selection of travel opportunities. Domestic, European, Mexican and Caribbean hotels, cruises, and destination packages can be had at deep discounts during the limited-time only sales events that ideeli's perfected since its founding in 2007.
For those of you who have yet to experience the thrill of high-speed shopping, here's what you need to know about ideeli: debuting on the e-commerce scene four years ago, the start-up managed to score $3.8 million in capital from Kodiak Ventures in 2007, raised another $20 million two years later and just announced a Series C round of financing to the tune of $41 million two weeks ago.
In the past year, membership more than tripled, site visits were up more than 150 percent and the privately-held company projected it would ring in $175 million in revenue last year.
Growing its portfolio of luxury offerings to become a one-stop, lifestyle shopping site was always a goal. Paul Hurley, CEO and founder of ideeli told me "By combining Voyage Privé's global inventory with our U.S. marketing acumen and reach, and integrating this into a full-service platform, we will create the largest curated private travel sale destination in the U.S." Hurley says customers have already responded enthusiastically to ideeli's existing travel offerings. "Voyage Privé is without question the most respected private travel site in the world, and their global inventory, travel expertise and best-in-class customer service made it the partner of choice."
For its part, Voyage Privé has garnered high marks for its presentation of offers as well as exhaustive details and what is and isn't included in the deals. Voyage also earned accolades for restraint: the site doesn't overwhelm its four million members with offers, preferring instead to strategically peddle 10-15 offers per week – on a first-come first-served basis for four days max.
Voyage users can expect discounts of 30-60 percent on exclusive luxury travel deals and packages, guaranteed to be the lowest price at the time of purchase. Any discrepancy is reimbursed for the difference.
It's not clear yet if the companies will leverage each other's membership lists to maximize potential sales. But with luxury spending on the rise, the timing of this venture couldn't be better.

Osteoarthritis (OA)This is the most common joint condition, which is mostly present in the knee and hip. It's true that OA does occur in older people - due to wear and tear of the cartilage between your bones. However, OA can occur in younger bodies, too! OA occurs when the thin layer of cartilage between your articulating bones in a joint break down due to wear and tear. This degenerative change causes pain, swelling and stiffness of the joint, which is quite disabling when humans are designed to move about.
Risk factors of developing OAApart from the 'wear and tear' of your bones/cartilage between your bones, the following could contribute to the development of OA.
- Genetics: defects in the gene that produces collagen can lead to early onset of OA
- Overuse of joints: repetitive movements may result in the cartilage of your joints to wear out at a faster rate
- Injuries: having had injuries to your joints (including bones and ligaments) puts you at a higher risk of developing OA
- Weight: research has shown that being overweight puts extra pressure through your hips and knees
- Other risk factors: metabolic diseases, hormonal disorders and other more serious health issues can lead to OA of your joints
Have a read of our previous blogpost about how physiotherapy can help with arthritis:
How Physiotherapy Can Help Arthritis
4 Take-Home Messages for You
- Consider exercises that have lower impact to your joints
- Consider losing weight to help reduce the pressure you're putting through your joints
- You are in control of some risk factors
- Physiotherapy can help you strengthen muscles and help with pain relief

Vancouver Sun and Province staff warned of layoffs
Pacific Newspaper Group's business unsustainable says new president
CBC News Posted: Apr 24, 2013 2:28 PM PT Last Updated: Apr 24, 2013 4:19 PM PT
Staff at The Vancouver Sun and The Province newspapers have been told to expect another round of layoffs because the current business is unsustainable.
In a message to staff issued on Wednesday, Pacific Newspaper Group president and publisher Gordon Fisher said the papers are facing alarming declines in revenue from print advertising and if the trend continues the businesses are unsustainable.
"I would be less than honest if I failed to point out that, as an example, our productions costs are dramatically higher than those of our peers. As one small but enlightening example, we are not in the insert business because it is impossible to profitably compete due to our costs," said Fisher.
Fisher said a voluntary staff reduction program will be followed by the layoff an unspecified number of employees .
"These are not easy decisions and we do recognize that such programs mean we will lose senior employees with valuable experience as well as more junior staff with future potential."
Fisher, a former managing editor for the Vancouver Sun, was appointed president of Pacific Newspaper Group in January. PNG is owned by Postmedia Network.

July 4th Mirrored Shelf
This site contains affiliate links to products. I may receive compensation for purchases made through these links.
Is there anything better than a piece that you got for next to nothing that is extremely versatile and that gives you another excuse to decorate? I'm thinking no….
Recently I went to a person's home to look at a light fixture that I was interested in purchasing for my powder room. While there I noticed this amazing mirrored shelf sitting outside as though it was waiting for garbage day. I asked about it and discovered it was being considered useless because one of the little hooks on the back that was used to hang this on the wall had broken. Apparently its former owners felt there was no way to fix it so were getting rid of it. The Reader's Digest version of this story is that I "rescued" it and easily fixed it so it can once again hang on the wall in all it's loveliness.
Now….another confession….I'm not the most patient person in the world when it comes to decor. When I get an idea I wanna go for it NOW. Once this shelf was able to be hung on the wall I HAD to hang it and then I HAD to style it even though I hadn't fixed it up as I fully intend to in order to cover various graffiti like markings all over it! I'll show you that makeover soon….
Another quick tour of my home and I found the necessary items to style it. The red glass bottle is from Dollar Tree – yup, that's right $1. I got several of the flags in the above size at Home Depot for $0.98 each. The blue hydrangea was also from Dollar Tree and is a little vibrant to have a whole bouquet without it looking fake but one here and one there I find looks just fine! The little white pitcher was a recent Goodwill find and I believe I paid $3 for it. No, it is NOT ironstone but I can pretend, right?
The scarf and little USA necklace are both from Dollar Tree. The necklace came in a pack of 3 – one each of red, blue and silver. I just took them apart at the little connector and I use them like bead strings. The little duck figurine is part of a small collection of mostly Mallard Ducks that The MR has had since childhood. The little burlap wrapped faux plant was a Walmart find and I believe it was under $2.
The little rusty lantern is one of my favorite recent finds! It is just SO CUTE! It sorta has a design on it that makes it more fall/winter but I don't care. I think it looks just fine in a setting like this – I mean evergreen trees grow in the summer too! I got it from Goodwill for $3!
I left the final piece for last because I'm not sure what to call it! I know it has a name but it won't come to me at present no matter how long I sit here and mull over it. Okay here we go – that "decorative orb" was also a Goodwill find and I paid $2 for it! I love it and you will probably see it popping up all over the place like the elf on the shelf! 🙂
So was anyone doing the math? What's the grand total? I'm getting $15…..keeping in mind that a number of these items can be used all year around, the only items that are specifically for July 4th decor cost me a grand total of $4!
I hope this has given you some more ideas of how you can decorate for July 4th very inexpensively, with just a little creativity and a little shopping your own home.

WHAT'S IN THIS VIDEO:Musicians learn to do what they do by actively listening. Active listening means learning to hear specific things, developing the ability to notice and compare. You can listen to music passively, just as you can listen to someone speak without really hearing what they're saying. But to make the experience meaningful you have to translate it and understand its meaning.You don't have to pay attention to everything – just the things that resonate with you.

"Hydrographics or HydroGraphics, also known as immersion printing, water transfer printing, water transfer imaging, or cubic printing, is a method of applying printed designs to three-dimensional surfaces. The hydrographic process can be used on metal, plastic, glass, hard woods, and various other materials. Also commonly known as "hydro dipping" due to the fact that the parts are dipped in water.
The Water Transfer Printing process is extensively used to decorate items that range from entire all-terrain vehicles and car dashboards, to small items like bike helmets or other automotive trim. Films can be applied to all types of substrates including plastic, fiberglass, wood, ceramics, and metal. For the most part, if the item can be dipped in water and can be painted using traditional techniques then the hydrographic printing process can be used."
So, you may be thinking, "What is DuraCoat?"
DuraCoat is a two part chemical coating. Unlike other firearm finishes, DuraCoat was created specifically for firearms. Other firearm finishes are "spin-off's" from other industries. DuraCoat is permanent, and with normal use, a firearm finished with DuraCoat will last several lifetimes. Stop by today to see what we can offer you!

Richard III is a tough role for a number of reasons. For much of the play, he is written as a much nastier Snidely Whiplash, an over-the-top evil clown. That sort of portrayal can be fun for an actor (Kenneth Branagh was clearly having a ball playing the mad scientist/mechanical spider in Wild Wild West), but it can be limiting as well -- especially since the actor must shift into the tormented, desperate Richard III of the final act. Moreover, Richard carries this long, demanding play, and in many portrayals he has to do so while bent and limping as a hunchback, Despite contortions, hunchback, cane, and a steel leg brace, Kevin Spacey showed extraordinary grace and athleticism in the role.
And he was funny! OK, not all the way through; this was not Richard Dreyfus miserably lurching across the stage in a pink satin cape, as in The Goodbye Girl. But some lines I'd always read and heard as serious -- the scene where Richard attempts to seduce Anne in the presence of her father-in-law's corpse (and he's already killed her husband and father) -- were given a wry humor. It wasn't a perverse reading, it did fit the lines, and it gave some needed lightness to a play otherwise full of horrors and shocking, sudden deaths.
Richard III as written passes the Bechdel test; the three queens and Dowager Duchess of York have conversations about grief and loss and politics. Gemma Jones plays Margaret of Anjou, widow of Henry VI, as a tiger's heart wrapped in a woman's hide -- as she was described in Henry VI, Part Three. Now in old age, everyone she once loved dead, she curses Richard and the Yorkists with eloquent fury and a tinge of madness. Haydn Gwynne as Queen Elizabeth displays grace, dignity, and courage even under pressure. (Not, alas, as the fabled blonde she actually was.)
Most of the cast are excellent. I was not especially impressed with the actor who played Richmond (AKA Henry VII), but Chuk Iwuji, the Black actor who played Buckingham, was especially powerful.
And some of the violence really is shocking, even to blase modern audiences. I'm not giving anything away, but be prepared. This is a disturbing play.
The set was simple: a few chairs, a table or two, moved on and off as required; a scrim; a series of doors on both sides and the back of the stage, below battered white-painted brickwork. In this case minimal was powerful. The lighting design may be the best I've ever seen: generally unobtrusive, but occasionally brilliant white lights cast pitiless, sometimes gigantic shadows to emphasize certain individuals in certain scenes. For music, there were drums, sometimes offstage, sometimes played onstage, and some eerie keyboards. Very, very effective.
The first act comprised the first three acts of the play; at about 120 minutes, it really ran too long, especially since there are a number of scenes where Richard doesn't appear. I'd been warned by a review and limited my fluid intake beforehand, so I wasn't writhing and thinking of my bladder and could focus on the play. After a 15-minute interval, we got down to the nitty-gritty of the final two acts. You know the line: A horse, a horse, my kingdom for a horse!
The final image of the play isn't in the text, but dear God, was it effective. Nobody will ever end the play so strikingly again. In the Valhalla Coffee House, where dead writers forgather, Shakespeare is buying rounds for everybody.
If you see this, it may help to brush up your Shakespeare -- though that's not essential. I know a fair bit about the history, but the play compelled me to the point where I didn't care about the divagations from history and plausibility. Another person who attended told me that she knows nothing about the period, but the play held together for her, too.
Another thing I should note, which I also felt when I saw Hamlet at the Oregon Shakespeare Festival: the writing is astonishingly good. There are reasons Shakespeare has lasted 400 years, despite drastic changes in our language and culture. Insight, compassion, complexity, wit -- yes, he had all those. And he wrote speeches an actor can say with ease -- a tougher proposition than you may think -- that are also richly, memorably expressed. So many of the lines are beautiful, and this isn't even a particularly poetic play.
This outing was a birthday gift from the generous and imaginative wild_irises, who accompanied me, along with abostick59. The Curran is a beautiful theatre, and our pre-play supper at Max's on the Square was delicious. (Best Reuben sandwich I've had on this coast.) A wonderful, memorable evening.
Another friend reviews the same production, mentioning details I didn't touch.

Its kind of officially the kick off of summer this weekend – charcoal's getting hot, pools are getting filled, booze is flowing freely and skin is more exposed. Just in case you weren't convinced – there are some festivals (Lightning In A Bottle, Silverlake Jubilee) too.
Assuming you're not fest-ing it up, or even if you are headed to Jubilee, you might want to consider a trip to Pasadena on Sunday at noon for DELON'S MEMORIAL WEEKEND POOL RAGER. It's the launch of a series of pool parties that the DJ/MC will be hosting and performing at all summer long – from private residences, to swanky hotels. BUT – unlike the others – this one is the first and comes along with free alcohol (including some tasty tasty XANTE), free food and, of course, free entry. Space is limited – so you might want to RSVP to firstname.lastname@example.com to ensure you and your guests are included. You can also RSVP via Facebook here.
Not convinced? On top of being one of the first in LA to witness the Sri Lankan phenom drop his poppy party starter "Body Rock" – you may get a taste of some of his other unreleased material, as well as visits from other upstarts like Dean Risko, Electric Drip and Joy Island! Check out Delon, Risko and Electric Drip's videos below. Electric Drip's video is like Beastie Boys "Sabotage" had a baby with aliens and dub step music and that baby was a music video.
I'm heading out because not only are the musicians talented – but who can refuse free booze and food by the pool? Not me. Neither can Before The Bigs – the blog hosting the event. Hope to see you at 880 Rosalind Rd., San Marino, CA 91108!

"Send in the Clones," Bottom Feeder, 3/10
What would SpongeBob say?
This letter, as you will see, will hopefully assist you in your future exploits of defamation of things that you know not of. I was stunned to see that someone who claims such huge allegations about my election to the Alameda County Central Committee as a LaRouche Democrat, using such language as "cultish" and "jackasses," would not have done more research. There are a number of fallacies (which isn't surprising, considering it is after all the Express), of which I will only go into one particularly humorous aspect.
I quote this section of your article "Send in the Clones": "Democrats are notorious for favoring women, which might explain the success of LaRouchies Sylvia Spaniolo and Summer Shields ..."
I don't think that it would have been particularly taxing to figure out what my gender was, if you were truly a dedicated journalist. As for the rest of the "facts"? Who could possibly refute any further, a publication that decided to put an ad for a "Clitoris Celebration" event in the kids' section, right next to SpongeBob SquarePants.
Mr. Summer Shields, LaRouche Democrat, Oakland
"Who's Your Mama?" Bottom Feeder, 3/3
A tiger on my side
I feel compelled to come to the defense of attorney Carol Amyx, who received negative, one-sided treatment in the article, as well as a gratuitous ad hominem (or the female equivalent) slur from Professor Joan Hollinger.
Carol represented me in my divorce and custody issues fairly, ably, and inexpensively. I have since recommended her to scores of friends. She honored all of my wishes for compassion and justice toward my ex. Together she and I crafted the divorce action, settlement, and custody issues. She gave great advice, too, at a stressful time. I appreciate the advice of experts in whatever profession I am engaging.
Carol is even-handed in warning clients about the dangers of being too nice up front to potentially deadbeat dads or moms. She should wear Professor Hollinger's sour grapes/sore loser name-calling as a badge of honor.
Believe me, I want a tiger on my side in the courtroom. The law is a majestic instrument which can be wielded for good or ill. Carol is an advocate of the former; of that I am 100 percent convinced. She knew what was ahead in my post-divorce future through her years of experience: If only I had listened to her MORE!
Wendy Schlesinger, Albany
"So, How Do You Feel About That Scene?" Feature, 2/25
Original journalism
I just read your wonderful article on cinema therapy. My first reaction was "Only in the Bay Area," and my second was, "Who has not felt this way about a film?" As wild as it is, it's no more so than any other approach to mental health and harmony. You should seriously consider doing an additional piece for Premiere or Entertainment Weekly, et al. It's hard to find an original story in today's polluted airways, and you did just that.
James Dalessandro, San Rafael
"Dogging Mr. Ogg," Bottom Feeder, 1/28
The view from Pinebrook
Your staff writer, Will Harper, has written a column with apparent malice intent to mislead the readers of your publication, and apparently without a good faith belief on his part in the truth of his libelous language and, in fact in a cynical disregard of the truth. The following language is defamatory:
1. Language to the effect that I am one of the kooky landlords who dodge rent controllers. No facts are cited, and no facts could be cited, to support this libelous language.
2. Language to the effect that Naomi Brandes accused me of failure to repair a "gas leak." Brandes never made such a claim. Her false claim was not that I refused to repair a gas leak but that she asked me to turn off the gas, and I refused to do so.
3. Language to the effect that I called the cops to report a "contemplated trespass." When an illegal inspection of Pinebrook was planned, an inspection that would violate my privacy and the privacy of family members other than Brandes, I used two police officers to be impartial witnesses that I did not use force to prohibit the inspection but relied solely on the fact that under the law a single-family house cannot without cause be inspected without the owner's consent. I explained to Harper the real facts, but he apparently become so dedicated to assisting Thomas Ostly, counsel to Brandes, in the building of a case against me that truth became irrelevant to him.
4. Language to the effect that family members pay me a monthly fee to live at Pinebrook. This statement is libelous and defamatory for the reason that charging such a fee would be highly improper and inconsistent with the Pinebrook Family Sharing Agreement. Family members do reimburse me, in part, for expenses of Pinebrook maintenance based on the fair-use value of the quarters they occupy at Pinebrook, which usually has been less than their allocable share of expenses.
5. Language to the effect that family members provide me "thousands of dollars of nonrental income" is absurd, asinine, and defamatory on its face. By using the words "nonrental income," Harper is apparently accusing me of failure to report rent as income, a very serious crime under federal law. Moreover, I have always lost money as a result of my ownership of Pinebrook. It has always been a labor of love on my part, and I have always allowed other persons to share the beauty and former peaceful nature of Pinebrook, now destroyed by the actions of Thomas Ostly and Naomi Brandes.
6. Language to the effect that the city considers Pinebrook to be "a triplex at the very least" is false and defamatory. It was for the reason that the city considered Pinebrook a single-family house that the housing inspector was prohibited from inspecting Pinebrook.

3-methylglutaconic aciduria type I
3-methylglutaconic aciduria type 1 (3MGA1) is a genetic disorder in which the body cannot get energy from a substance called leucine. Leucine is one of the amino acids, which are the building blocks of proteins in our bodies. Because people with 3MGA1 can't break down leucine for energy to support muscle function and growth, they have a variety of symptoms that are present at birth. These symptoms may include developmental delays, seizures, muscle twitches (dystonia), and muscle weakness.
3MGA1 is caused by a mutation (change) to the AUH gene, which produces a protein to break down leucine. When there is a mutation to the AUH gene, this protein either isn't produced or isn't functional, so the body can't get energy from leucine. Under normal conditions, the protein is present in the part of the cell that produces energy (the mitochondria), so 3MGA1 is a type of mitochondrial disease. 3MGA1 is also an organic acid condition because it causes harmful 3-methylglutaconic acid build up in the body.
3MGA1 is an autosomal recessive disease, meaning that an affected person has two mutated copies of the AUH gene. People with only one mutated copy of the gene are called carriers. Any child of two carriers has a one in four chance of having 3MGA1. To diagnose 3MGA, a doctor will test a urine sample because the level of organic acid is higher in 3MGA1 than any of the other types of 3MGA. Treatment options depend on the symptoms but may include lowering dietary leucine intake. Many babies are screened for 3MGA disorders at birth so that treatment can begin early, but the conditions included in newborn screening differ from state to state. For more information, visit Baby's First Test. Talk with baby's doctor about the most current treatment options. Genetic counselors and support groups are also a good source of information.

Ad regulators in Sweden and the UK are investigating alleged claims in Apple's current campaign fot the new iPad 3 that it has 4G capability – it does in the US on the AT&T and Versizon LTE networks but not in other parts of the world.
The ferocious Australian Competition and Consumer Commission has already announced that it is to take legal action against Apple for 'misleading' consumers with its 4G label and Apple has offered to refund Australian buyers who feel they were misled.
Apple has shrugged off such problems in the past although refunding consumers could make a modest dint in even Apple's $100bn cash pile.
On the face of it, it looks as though Apple hasn't been claiming 4G for iPad 3s sold outside the US (as the company says). But, as this image from PadGadget comparing the US and Australia suggests, it does imply that that the 3 is as whizzy as it can be, which strongly implies 4G.

Hello. I'm Monocle Bot.
And then, from the mountains on high and from the bowels of the caves beneath the oceans— NAY! From the very lugubrious heart of the grassy fields of yore... there came a rumbling.
Actually, it was more like a mechanical whirring, reminiscent of lattes being gently prepared in the Starbucks under your apartment, crossed with the mellifluous purr that an Atari 2600 would make if it could purr when you insert your favorite game cartridge. Tunnel Runner, for example. And I mean the original, wood-paneled 2600, not the sleek black wedge they released later. But it's cool if you liked that one.
Either way, though, the sound still came from the mountains and the caves and the grass and the Starbucks... and it was good.

Suck it up. My name is Casey, I'm a proud of the name. I was teased by bullies about a number of things, last of which was being a boy with the name Casey. These experiences develop character. Not liking ones name says a lot more about the ebenvironment and mental conditioning (lack of self-confidence/self-esteem) of the child. I would focus on that not changing their name or coming up with a nickname.
