This is one of my favorite ways of cooking clams, and whenever I go to a Chinese restaurant that offers this, I never fail to order it. These clams, I found at Costco. Asi is my only daughter who shares this dish with me. She loves to put the sauce over her rice. When she and I are hungry, we can put away a whole order of this dish.
When preparing fresh, live clams, make sure that all the shells are tightly closed. Or that they close up when you touch them. This means that the clams are still alive. There is nothing more disgusting than eating shellfish that has died before cooking. Their flesh deteriorates really fast that is why you have to cook them alive. Scrub the outside of the shells to make sure any mud, sand, or other impurities are removed. Wash them several times to get rid of any grit. It also helps if you soak clams in clean water for a few hours before cooking. This will allow them time to spit out any impurities like sand before cooking. Some suggests soaking them in milk too, but water works just as well I think.
Fresh Clams (about 3 pounds or a big bowlfull)
4 cloves garlic, chopped
2 Tbsp. fresh ginger, minced
1 large Onion, chopped roughly
1 large Green Bell Pepper, cut into 1 inch squares
1 bunch of Green Onions, cut into 1 inch length
2 fresh hot chili peppers, cut into diagonal slices
2 Tbsp. fermented Black Beans
4 Tbsp. Oyster Sauce
2 Tbsp. Oil
1 tsp. cornstarch dissolved in water (about 1/4 cup or so)
Heat oil in a wok or heavy bottomed pan. Saute' the chopped garlic and ginger for a minute then add the black beans. Lightly mash the beans to release the flavors and stirfy for another minute. Add the onions and bell peppers, stir, and add the clams and oyster sauce. Stir and cover the pot. Let it cook/steam for about 5 minutes until the clams have opened. Remove any clams that did not open up. The clams should have released some liquid at this point. Add the cornstarch mixture to thicken the sauce, stir in the chili peppers and green onions. Serve over rice. Lots of rice!

The Ekiti State Governorship election according to the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC will hold on July 14, 2018, while that of Osun State is expected to hold on September 22, 2018.
With campaigns expected to open up in Ekiti on April 15 and for Osun on June 24, the polity is expected to see a lot of fireworks as the gladiators in the two states engage themselves in crucial battles to replace their iconic outgoing figures.
In Ekiti State, Governor Ayodele Fayose's endorsement of his deputy, Prof. Kolapo Olusola has almost settled the contest in the PDP while the APC remains as usual divided. Some estimates have it that as many as 50 stalwarts are in the race while it is acknowledged that only about 25 have made their intentions public with the immediate past governor of the state, Dr. Kayode Fayemi generally assumed as one of the leading aspirants.
How they settle their differences would to a large extent determine if they would again enter the election as a divided house against Fayose whose image would loom over the PDP campaign.
A victory for the PDP would be a great boost for Fayose and perhaps provide safety for him inside the Government House till 2019 when he prays that Buhari would lose a second term.
In Osun State, the APC would enter the contest challenged by the years of half salaries to civil servants and the breakdown of political thoughts and emotions that have been characteristic of the Rauf Aregbesola years. The state's civil servants only last Saturday suspended their strike action directed against the policy of half salaries.
Though PDP officials have set their sights on Osun, their prospects would, however, depend on how the state's political leaders can manage their individual bids for the governorship of the state.

Emotional suppression and well-being in immigrants and majority group members in the Netherlands
Emotional suppression and well-being in immigrants and majority group members in the Netherlands - Descarga este documento en PDF. Documentación en PDF para descargar gratis. Disponible también para leer online.
(2014)INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF PSYCHOLOGY.49(6).p.503-507 Mark abstract We were interested in interethnic differences in emotional suppression. We propose a model in which suppression of specific emotional experiences (suppressive behaviours during interactions with others) mediates the relationship between emotional suppression tendency (intention to suppress emotions) and well-being, operationalised as mood disturbance, life dissatisfaction and depressive and physical symptoms. The sample consisted of 427 majority group members and 344 non-Western and 465 Western immigrants in the Netherlands. Non-Western immigrants scored higher on emotional suppression tendency and lower on well-being than the other groups. We did not find interethnic differences in suppression of specific emotional experiences. The full mediation model was supported in all groups. Interethnic differences in well-being could not be accounted for by differences in emotional suppression.

what does everyone think of this website?
serious thread!
It's Great!
It's changed my life, seriously my love for music was being destroyed by NME, MTV2 etc. I needed a site where the music was important, not the image or whatever.
I came across this site by complete accident aswell, searching for reviews of Black Holes & Revelations. Thinking to myself why aren't there more bands like Muse out there that actually excite me and don't sound like every other band ever.
There are bands like that and they are found here on DiS, Minus The Bear, volcano!, Spanish For 100, Asobi Seksu, The Twilight Sad, Broken Social Scene. to name some bands that I have got into because of this site, some of which I had never heard of before.
The only thing that I find annoying about this site are the users that are a bit up themselves because they have such a varied and/or obscure music taste. These people are few and far between though, most people on here simply have a love of music, maybe get a bit over-opinionated at times, me included but generally most people get along. It's like a big music loving community, a haven for true music fans.
Sorry if I rambled, is that what you were after?
erm, severely held back any career progression for the last three years.
Now more than ever.
I like it
but if I'm completely honest, I only spend so much time on here because I'm bored at work. I'd never log on at home

General Santos City. The Tuna Capital of the Philippines.
What more apt to celebrate its festival but to name it after its main industry? For this year's Tuna Festival, the theme "Exploring New Depths, Conquering New Heights" showed what the Generals are capable of. They had a long list of activities.
But for me (a transit inhabitant of this city), the best way to celebrate is to partake the freshest tuna for the unlimited Sashimi Night! :D The Japanese will have a heyday for this. For P150.00, enjoy the tuna and 1 bottle of beer/Coke.
(PS. Disregard the date. Stupid camera!hehe)
The fish killer!
Chillin' out with this cool couple- Kuya Jorge and Ate Chinkee.
And the best part for the night? Winning a free overnight stay in Family Country Hotel (valid until November).
And my grandma discovered this new resto, the House of Cashews! Owned by the Fuentespina, all of their food are served with cashews. Located at #5, ECA FOOD ARCADE, ECA Building, National Highway (fronting Citra MINA), they serve all food with cashews. I would love to try their cashew version of kare-kare but sadly, they don't have a steady supply of oxtail. But you can try the Specialty of the house - fresh lumpia. Freshly cooked in olive oil egg wrapper embedded with the deliciously mixed chicken strips and ubod ng niyog with chopped cashews and Covered with herb-honey sauce with garlic and cashews. For only P45.00, busog na!
Bonding over food is one of the best things in life.<3

The white stripes
yes yes, wrong board, but not really relevant for music.
The news are still claiming they're brother/sister. Wasn't a marriage certificate dredged up forever ago?
Never mind that
Eurythmy Bridge has a new song:
"It's called Broken Amp Broken Heart Blues and it's about how annoying it is when you blow a fuse in your amp and you don't know how to fix it, but when your boyfriend comes back home he can't fix it because he's been stabbed and he's bleeding everywhere, then he dies, and so you're left with no boyfriend, and no amp."
I know how to fix a broken fuse
do i really need to listen to it?
But you said I should
well, say what music I like
my internet is too slow tonight to listen :(
It's difficult to tell
because the quality of the mp3s is awful, but I really like her voice.
I believe a divorce certificate was dredged up too
I reckon they are a brother and sister who got married and then divorced because it was a bit dodgy!
i mean
not imagine them doing brother sister incest. it's just a good story.
my new favourite derogatory term for bands is 'pony'
White Stripes are 'pony'
hope you don't like the new young pony club then
or you'd have to refer to them by their acronym and nobody would understand
Catch up son, I've been using that for over 10 years now. And you have the cheek to say you know all the hip, young slang?!
Jack's real last name
is Gillis or something.
I still think it's really weird
that she was bridesmaid at his wedding.
they are in a band together
after all!
oh, silly me
some twit at work emailed me yesterday asking me what's happening w.r.t. payment of this invoice.
I'm assuming he means 'with regard to' but I'm gonna make him feel like an idiot before i answer his question. Tsk. Not a pop at you by the way :)

Community Animal Network received repeated calls and several cell phone photos from business center employees who walk to Fashion Island for lunch about a white-and-black spotted kitty in the birds of paradise flowerbed near the R+D Kitchen parking lot.
Witnesses said the kitten chattered with passersby and was seen in the same flowerbed day after day rolling on his back and wiggling with his legs as if performing to earn a meal. He retreated when approached.
Network founder DiAnna Pfaff-Martin circulated fliers in an effort to find temporary housing for the cat she appropriately named Jolly. The Davies family and their two Huskies have opened their home to save a local cat in need.
The organization's humane animal trapper spent several late nights trying to trap the well-fed kitty with no success. Pfaff-Martin contacted the concerned callers and asked them not to feed the cat so he could more easily be rescued.

I miss my old town. It was cold today. I did manage to find my overalls. Much warmer. Overalls are great for cycling. No constricting waistband. They are pretty much just bibshorts, but pants, and multifunctional.

2.1 Performance Date and Time
- Your group's performance site, address, date and time(s) are all listed within your group's TRIP INFO report at WPSMF Online (www.online.winterparkskimusicfestival.com). Definitely print this report and bring to Winter Park with you for reference!
2.2 Performance Site Location, Travel Distances and Map
- Winter Park Ski- Music Festival utilizes two festival performance sites- Middle Park High School and East Grand Middle School. Both performance sites are located in Granby, Colorado. The town of Granby is located approximately 18 miles from downtown Winter Park. Granby is located 6 miles from Snow Mountain Ranch (for groups staying overnight at Snow Mountain Ranch).
- When traveling from Winter Park to the performance site- please allow a minimum of 30 minutes travel time. When traveling from Snow Mountain Ranch- please allow a minimum of 20 minutes travel time. Please plan on arriving at your performance site a minimum of 15 minutes prior to your scheduled warm-up time.
- A link to a MAP showing the performance site is included within the WPSMF Ski Locker page (www.winterparkskimusicfestival.com/skilocker). Signs at the performance site will direct you to the appropriate group unloading area. USE OUR MAP, and not a bus driver's GPS! Other routes have steeper hills difficult to climb in a bus or motor coach, and impossible if snow covered!
2.3 Arrival at the Performance Site
- A festival representative or site host will meet you at the unloading area and will guide you to an assigned holding/storage area. Buses will be directed to park after unloading students, equipment and/or instruments.
- It is recommended that performers' personal belongings and extra clothing be left on the bus.
- Concert Bands, Orchestras and Instrumental Jazz Ensembles have the option to bring or not bring instrument cases into the performance site's storage area. Typically- cold or snowy weather is present, and removing instruments in this environment is undesirable, and not preferred by groups due to instrument sensitivity.
- Late Arrivals to the Performance Site – A group's late arrival will be accommodated as best as the festival staff can provide, as long as the subsequent performing groups' schedules are not altered- and the schedule constraints as contracted with the performance site, and adjudicators, are not jeopardized.
- In the event your performing group arrives late to the performance site:
- You will be permitted to enter the warm-up if there is enough time for warm-up prior to being escorted to the performance stage to begin at your scheduled performance start time. Your warm-up time would obviously be shortened to meet your scheduled performance start time.
- If your performing group's scheduled start time has passed upon your arrival and scheduled performance time has not expired- a group may go directly to the stage and perform within the remaining amount of time. The late arrived performing group will stop performance when scheduled stage time has expired.
- If arriving after your scheduled performance time slot- a time slot will be assigned that is available. However- some performance site schedules are full and may not allow for another ensemble to perform.
- Please plan for worst case scenarios when constructing your trip itinerary- especially surrounding your travel to the performance site!
- If you are unexpectedly running late on the day of your performance- please call any of the festival staff members to inform, so we can see what options may be available for you. (cell numbers listed on Emergency Contacts web page within WPSMF Ski Locker topics.
- Performances are open to the general public. Your group is welcome to listen to any performances of other performing groups within the festival. However- directors should be aware of the amount of time remaining before their group's scheduled warm-up time. Entrance and exit of the performance area audience is not allowed during a group's performance, even between musical selections. Consider the distraction to another group's performance and adjudicators if your entire group must exit between musical pieces in order to gather for your scheduled warm-up.
2.4 Performance Site Area for storage of Cases and Personal Belongings
- Again- it is recommended that a performer's personal belongings and extra clothing be left on the bus for security purposes. However- there will be a storage area at the performance site to store these items if needed. This storage area is being used by all other groups, and potentially vulnerable to security issues. Each director should assign an adult to monitor the security of their group's stored items while the group is in warm-up, performance, or anytime unattended by the group. Instrument cases, clothing articles, music folders or personal belongings (not left in the storage area) cannot be left in the warm area since this space will be occupied by the following scheduled ensemble. If extra items are not left on the bus or in the storage area- performers should expect to carry them into both warm-up, and on the performance stage.
2.5 Performance Attire and Performance Site Clothes Changing areas
- Winter Park Ski- Music Festival recognizes that most groups performing at the festival contest have traveled various distances prior to their arrival and will be skiing immediately before or after the group's performances. The festival further understands the inconvenience of traveling with concert uniforms, and the necessity to perhaps change clothes before and/or after performances. Therefore- the type of group attire is not an adjudicated component of any ensemble's performance! Winter Park Ski-Music Festival adjudicators are specifically instructed on this topic prior to all festivals. More importantly- stage presence, stage discipline, group vitality and performer posture & attentiveness are judged as the overall "presentation" of any group. Historically- many performing ensembles have chosen to perform in concert attire- while many others have chosen a more casual- but uniform performance attire. Ensembles have even performed in their ski clothing. An ensemble's performance attire is at the personal discretion of the director.
- There are clothes changing areas provided at the performance site for groups wishing to change clothes before or after their performance times.
- These changing areas are two male/female sets of larger rest room facilities located in the main foyer and possibly another male/female set of restrooms in the gym. We recommend that you inform your accompanying adults to monitor the entrances if you want adult supervision of these areas for your students.
2.7 Adjudication Options
- Three adjudicators will provide written and voice recorded (instrumental only) comments of your ensemble's performance with constructive criticism and suggestions. All groups have two options for adjudication:
- Compete: This typical option is to perform and compete with similar school sized ensembles. Divisional ratings and an ensemble's ranking within their classification are determined by the judges. All competing ensembles will receive divisional trophies. Trophies will also be awarded to the Best in Class and Runner up in Class for each performance type within their school enrollment classification. Overall Grand Champion Trophies will be presented each festival week: Overall Outstanding Concert Band, Concert Choir, Orchestra, Show/Jazz Choir, and Instrumental Jazz Ensemble.
- 2nd level (non- varsity) or 3rd level performing ensembles will compete in their own classification if greater than two are entered.
- If there are less than two 2nd or 3rd level ensembles entered in a classification, the 2nd level or 3rd level ensembles may be assigned to compete in a smaller school size classification.
- Non-Compete: The second option is to perform for comments only. This option is for those ensembles seeking a non-competitive experience and working towards strengthening their performance skills. No trophies will be awarded with this adjudication option.
- Compete: This typical option is to perform and compete with similar school sized ensembles. Divisional ratings and an ensemble's ranking within their classification are determined by the judges. All competing ensembles will receive divisional trophies. Trophies will also be awarded to the Best in Class and Runner up in Class for each performance type within their school enrollment classification. Overall Grand Champion Trophies will be presented each festival week: Overall Outstanding Concert Band, Concert Choir, Orchestra, Show/Jazz Choir, and Instrumental Jazz Ensemble.
2.8 Published Music and Copyright Laws
- Concert instrumental and concert choral ensembles performing published music are required to provide 3 original print scores for the adjudicators.
- Photocopied scores are not allowed unless accompanied by a letter from the publisher stating that the music is no longer in print or not available. Please contact the festival office with any questions regarding this topic prior to traveling to Winter Park!
- Judges prefer that the scores' measures be numbered for easier reference to music critique.
- Here's an online article on copyrighted material, if you need additional details: https://nafme.org/my-classroom/copyright/copyright-law-what-music-teachers-need-to-know/

Parrot AR.Drone: A Toy That May Have Aerial Photography Potential
June 16th, 2010
I've done a couple of posts in the past about R/C rigs that can carry video or still cameras (here and here). The trouble with many of the possibilities is they are too expensive and/or they are challenging to fly. Well these problem are on there way to being fixed! I just ran across the Parrot Drone, available in September, which is a flying video game and flying quadricopter. It is relatively inexpensive ($299) and easy to fly. You fly the Parrot from a iPod Touch/iPad/iPhone via Wi-Fi. Here is a intro video and here is a Parrot's YouTube channel.
The Parrot drone is designed to be a game in which you dog fight with other drone owners operating on the same Wi-Fi network. However, since it has both a front-facing and a downward-facing streaming cameras on board the first thing that came to mind was this could capture some cool shots of almost anything that would hard to capture in any other way.
This thing obviously not made to carry your DSLR but it's got two built-in cameras so it will be interesting to see what kind of video it can create. An important aspect of this device is that apparently the software that runs on the drone is open source.

The box that this blog runs on was rebooted this morning, after 272 days uptime and being very reliable. It had to be powered down due to some work in the DC. We should have known about it, but due to us not setting up the email notifications, we were not. The first thing I knew about it was when I was doing a few things and then:
Broadcast message from root (console) (Wed Sep 15 09:57:21 2004):
The system is going down for reboot NOW!
Of course, now we will know if any work needs doing that will need the box to be rebooted. The DC uses a special reboot on demand system to allow for systems to be rebooted at a customers request but I assume they just plugged into the console port to reboot our server, well that is what it looks like from our analysis and what they said when we raised it with them.
The system was only offline for 9 minutes so it wasn't much of an issue that we were not aware of it but good that I happened to be around at the time.
The good thing is we now will know if anything like that needs to to happen again. It also allowed us to ensure the box still comes up, after all the changes that have been made. Soon we're going to upgrade the RAM and probably install another disk too and I'm currently in the process of getting tape backup sorted using Veritas NetBackup which will allow for daily incremental backup as well as a full weekly backup.Post ID: 505, posted by jase at 11:35 PM
Hmmm, whenever I reboot my main user server, I give at least 15 minutes notice when running shutdown. That way people have a chance to see the message and save their work.
Your hosting is through theplanet.com, right?
Guess it goes to show you that fancy websites with claims of "Unmatched customer service" and "Knowledgeable Staff" means that they don't necessarily have common sense.
Well, I know why we never knew, partly our fault. The alerts list which you get notified on, it was not selected for us to receive stuff on it, I've corrected that now.
I can't knock TP at all to be honest we never have any problems!Posted by: jase at September 21, 2004 10:56 PM

"Recognizing the complex and unsolidified relationship between the self and the collective, and the local and the global, the summit will be held in a true multi-cultural environment and will be a true celebration of Jewish peoplehood. Summit participants will be representing Jewish communities stretched all across North and South America, Eastern and Western Europe as well as Israel, for this year's participants will be joined by 30 officers of the Israeli army." Masa's Vision of the Leadership Summit
The Masa Leadership Summit is a five-day intensive learning opportunity that was open to all current post grad Masa participants. In the end only 200 young adults were selected from the pool of applicants. I think it goes to show the high quality of participants here at Tikkun Olam having such a high percentage of attendees from our comparatively small group. The goal is to help participants to successfully navigate the future of Jewish communities and to reach their global potential.
Below are the different experiences of current Tikkun Olam participants. I thank them all for be willing to share their stories with you.
The Leadership Summit was a valuable experience for me because it gave me access to numerous sessions and resources addressing being a Jewish leader in the modern world. For example, I attended talks about facilitation skills, how to create a vision for the future, as well as potential tangible next steps that I can take once my program ends. Being a part of this opportunity helped me realize that there are a number of paths I can take, and that it is important to stay proactive, especially in the frame of things I love to do.
Elana White, originally from the San Francisco Bay Area, recently graduated from UC Santa Cruz with a degree in Cognitive Science. She is a current participant of Tikkun Olam, interning at the Peres Center for Peace in the External Relations department as well as volunteering at an after school program called Kadima Yafo.
While being a member of Tikkun Olam has already had such an incredible impact on me, participating in the Summit gave me a new wave of energy. Being surrounded by 200 or so individuals all sharing a common love for Israel and Judaism, and dedicated towards creating positive change in the future reaffirmed the reason I chose to join a Masa program in the first place. As I listened to the daily speakers, and contributed to the deep discussions in the workshops it was so apparent that every participant there was invested not only to the Masa mission, but also to making a difference here and in their home communities. Throughout the seminar there was so much positive energy; friendships were being formed, ideas were being challenged it was such a unique atmosphere to be apart of. A specific workshop lead by one of the summit faculty members, and my home group leader, Yaffa Epstein, titled "Can the Jewish People Really Talk to Each Other? What gets in the way of real open communication in the Jewish community?" really stuck with me. Coming from a person who has had the privilege of experiencing several different sects of Judaism, an issue I have repeatedly seen is our inability to talk with each other. In this workshop we discussed the difference between agreeing with one another vs. communicating with each other. As Jews it is in our blood to argue, nonetheless it is still important to remember that our own perspectives and opinions should not be the thing preventing unity within the Jewish people.
Shana Feld, originally from the Denver, Colorado, is a recent graduate of The University of Texas at Austin where she graduated with a degree in Psychology/Sociology. She spends her volunteer time with Tikkun Olam, at Beit Holland, a preschool for children with special needs, Lilach, an after school center for impoverished, at risk youth and The Florentine Elderly Center.
A few weeks ago I attended Masa's Leadership Seminar. Leadership is a topic that I have always been passionate for. Having the opportunity to not only learn more about leadership, but how to work on becoming a Jewish leader was something I was really looking forward to. One of the many things that really stuck with me after the seminar was this encouragement to challenge the way things are done and try new things. I left the seminar thinking about the future of Judaism and what my role was in keeping Judaism alive. I was also left with many questions. What stories will I tell the future generations of Jews? How can I share my Jewish values? What has worked for me and what has not worked for me in regards to being a successful individual? Between learning about how to make a memorable speech and hearing success stories of participants who now have start-up companies, I was asked to step out of my comfort box, and try something new! I have been asked to critically look at my strengths and values and figure out how these traits will influence my leadership. I have been asked to try a new method of fundraising for organizations I am involved with. I have been asked to take these experiences and share them with the people that I know and love. These are all things that I will keep with me for the rest of my life.
Rachel Waldorf, from Freehold, NJ, is a recent graduate of Rutgers University with a B.A. in Psychology and Jewish studies. A current participant of Tikkun Olam, she is lives in Yafo and volunteers at the Florentine Elderly Center, The Women's Courtyard, and Ironi Zayin doing various activities from Zumba to arts and crafts and teaching English classes.

The best team in baseball keeps getting better as the Los Angeles Dodgers push their win streak to nine.
The Dodgers headed into the All-Star break with the best record in baseball thanks to lights out pitching and endless firepower from their bats. Since the start of the second half of the season, L.A. has picked up right where it left off with a sweep of the Miami Marlins.
The Dodgers took care of the Marlins the same way they've been winning all season. They score a lot of runs when they're hot, their pitchers keep the game close when they're not and when they're down they're never out. In L.A.'s first game post All-Star break the Dodgers found themselves down 4-3 against the Marlins at the top of the ninth. They were down to one out and Yasiel Puig found himself down to one strike before slamming a three-run blast over the center wall to put the Dodgers up 6-4. Puig's 18th HR deflated Miami and sealed the deal for L.A.
Puig's three-run blast to lift Dodgers over Marlins #DodgersWin pic.twitter.com/qNqv3R2BBt
— Asha ⁶ (@PlanetAsha) July 15, 2017
L.A. followed that up with a 7-1 blowout of the Marlins Saturday behind a cycle from the Dodgers rookie sensation Cody Bellinger. Bellinger leads L.A. in HRs with 26 on the season and is also the Dodgers' RBI leader at 61.
Sunday's game against Miami would be a tighter affair, but with Rich Hill on the mound L.A. would survive 3-2 to complete the sweep.
What L.A. has going this year feels special and goes beyond the power hitting of Puig and Bellinger. Multiple Dodgers are having great hitting seasons and their depth and versatility give them almost no weaknesses. Corey Seager is the team leader in batting average (.296), OBP (.394) and hits (92) and is third for the team in HRs with 14 on the season. But it's not just Bellinger, Puig and Seager lighting it up at the plate. Justin Turner, Chris Taylor and Yasmani Grandal all have 10 or more homers this year.
Add in L.A.'s pitching staff and you've got a team destined to make a deep playoff run. Clayton Kershaw leads the National League in wins at 14-2 on the season and Alex Wood is a stifling 11-0. When it comes to closing, Dodgers' Kenley Jansen is second in the NL with 23 saves this season.
With success comes high expectations and although there is plenty of baseball left to play, L.A. shows no signs of slowing down. The Dodgers have good chances of making it all the way to the World Series according to Las Vegas and the way they're playing anything less would be a major let down for fans.

AHDI recently released a position statement in support of ICD-10 implementation. Given the in-depth clinical documentation knowledge and expanded skill set of our workforce, we are uniquely positioned to help facilitate adoption of ICD-10.

 This position statement outlines numerous ways in which healthcare documentation specialists serve as an important partner to clinicians. In addition, AHDI has created tools to assist healthcare organizations and service providers with establishing and maintaining dictation best practices, quality metrics, quality review of clinician-created documentation, and patient engagement and verification. These tools match ICD-10 expectations and prepare clinicians, the documentation sector, and HIM departments to meet or exceed ICD-10 documentation consistency as it relates to pre-authentication documentation.

 We encourage all who work in the healthcare documentation arena to download and read AHDI's Position Statement on ICD-10 Implementation.

 Join us for an overview of speech recognition editing and navigation, in which we will explore tips and techniques for managing and increasing individual editor production. By design, documentation specialists' takeaways will include being able to combine their own expertise with the strategies outlined to increase their production and motivation.

 Quality Assurance (QA) feedback is a critical component of expanding an editor's knowledge base, so the nature of QA feedback and its effect on production will be discussed as well. Work smarter, not harder, by employing these simple techniques.

 Learning Objectives:

Review best practices to increase editing production/income.

Review basic editing shortcuts to maximize production.

Understand the behavioral implications that can directly affect editing productivity.

To understand and manage the role of QA feedback on production.

Even if you can't attend the live webinar, registering will enable you to automatically receive a link to the recorded webinar 24 hours after the live presentation ends.

Individually and collectively, we have important stories to tell--our stories--about the critical errors we catch and correct or flag on a daily basis. Healthcare documentation specialists are important to patient safety, but it seems like we're the only ones who know that. We've been "invisible" far too long.

 So here is your chance to make a difference! We need our workforce VISIBLE and our VOICES heard. We're asking for individual and group video submissions, stating the reason you became an MT/HDS, why it's important to patient care, and why stakeholders should embrace the knowledge and skills HDSs bring to the table.

 Download the "My HDS Story" video information packet and guidelines for full details. This packet includes tips, how-to and sample videos, resources, and much more!

 We challenge individuals, MTSOs, components, and MT/HDS departments to get on board and submit a video testimonial! AHDI will use clips from these to create a series of videos to go viral and help get our message out, and all participants will be entered into a drawing to win one of several great prizes, including a 1-year AHDI Individual Professional membership!

 You may be working from home in your pajamas, but the rules for applying for a transcription job are the same as applying to be the White House Chief-of-Staff. Too often we see MTs/HDSs using inappropriate email addresses, applying for jobs they're not qualified for, or calling to complain if they don't get a response fast enough. Whether you're a new transcriptionist right out of school or a 30-year veteran looking to change companies, don't let your slippers and bathrobe limit potential opportunities—learn what will get your resume bumped to the top of the pile and what will get it relegated to the bottom.

 Learning Objectives:

How to write a resume that will get noticed.

Tips for interviewing well on the phone.

How to prepare for online testing.

At the AHDI National Leadership Board May 18 meeting, the Board approved to continue with the name National Medical Transcriptionist Week. Earlier this year, the Board sought feedback on plans to rename the annual event to reflect the expanded roles of healthcare documentation specialists. More than 350 people weighed in, with the community's divided opinion expressed through the open comments section.

 The Board is forming a task force to work on developing a one-day annual fall event centered on healthcare documentation integrity. The task force will recommend a name and the timing. A decision will be made at a later date whether to launch this in 2015 or 2016. AHDI is seeking volunteers who would meet online between June and August during business hours. If you wish to volunteer, please contact Tina Wilson by email: email@example.com.

Most AHDI members and healthcare documentation practitioners are familiar with the role of The Joint Commission (TJC)... As part of fulfilling this mission, TJC publishes "E-Alerts" highlighting current issues affecting healthcare organizations. In April 2015, TJC sent out a Quick Safety alert under the heading "Transcription Translates to Patient Risk." (Every HDS/medical transcriptionist should read it.) Read more.

Join us to explore healthcare documentation best practices in the setting of speech recognition technology—how to make this technology work to our greatest advantage. For our role in documenting patient care, there is a distinct contrast to traditional transcription, necessitating a skillset shift from the constant motion of expert typing to the more analytical, immediate identification and correction of the inevitable flaws in speech recognized text. Human intervention is necessary because of like sounds in the English language as well as the arrays of dialects and speech patterns. This presentation offers definitions of that intervention in fine detail.

 Learning Objectives:

Understand how the technology of speech recognition works.

Understand the impact we have on how well the technology works.

Know how to determine what to edit and when to edit in recognized drafts.

Embrace skillset shift from traditional transcription to editing of recognized drafts.

Develop strategies for the best balance of complete accuracy and top productivity.

Presenter: Criss Spoto

PACIFIC RIM 2 has continued its casting process, nabbing another young star to prove themselves in a big Hollywood project. The latest addition is Levi Meaden, who is perhaps best known for playing the character Matt Copeland in the show Aftermath. He has also appeared in Legends of Tomorrow, The Killing, and The 100, as well as David DeCoteau's 1313: BIGFOOT ISLAND, which, if nothing else, at least proves that he looks good shirtless. Charlie Hunnam, step aside.
Meaden will be playing Ilya, an irreverent and offbeat cadet. That's not a lot of information to go on, but at least it's more than we've gotten for pretty much anyone else. He will be joining a cast that also includes Scot Eastwood, Jing TIan, Cailee Spaeny, and John Boyega, who will play the son of Idris Elba's character in the original.
PACIFIC RIM 2 will be helmed by Daredevil season 1 showrunner Steven S. DeKnight, replacing original director del Toro, who remains on board as a producer. The script was penned by JURASSIC WORLD screenwriter Derek Connolly.
The film is currently scheduled for theatrical release on February 23, 2018.

The Khazi game was played at the end of last year. It was a preamble for some more 'normal' Bolt Action games set in the desert. The game was a mixture of role play and house rules, nothing sophisticated, just some fun.
The Axis and Allied commands are both seeking information from the occupants of the town that may help with the identification of the location of an ancient artifice. Both commands must enter the town and try and acquire as much information as they can. They have three agents each that can attempt to enter the town and interact with the locals.
The local Thugee's will interfere with any attempts by 'Foreigners' to enter the market. This may mean looting, robbing and murdering visitors.
The Allies and Axis had randomly determined bags of gold with which they could use to bribe the locals. Success/failure was on the roll of a D6. Each gold coin was an extra 'blip' on a dice roll. The number of coins used to bribe had to be declared before the dice were rolled.
Both sides were given prior notice and had the opportunity of being creative in 'making money' on the day. Innovation would be rewarded!
Each side had three agents who were sent in one at a time.
Rich as Head Thugee had to disrupt Allied and Axis activity, the more disruptive the better. He had some scripted characters and events and some activation requirements.
The Game
Craig sent a van full of Allied troops dressed up,as Germans. He pulled up behind the Post Office, climbed onto the roof, forced his way in and then proceeded to rob it. Clearly he had put the acquisition of gold coins ahead of intelligence.
He was lucky, complete surprise, no 1's and sack loads of Egyptian Pounds. His troops were dressed in German Uniforms so that if it all went wrong the Axis took the blame ! Sneaky.......
However I was not using Germans in the game at all. I sent in my Italians, the first of whom was Mr Murkov, purveyor of the finest Italian Ice Creams who drove straight to the Police Station in his ice cream van to apply for his All Day Refreshment Licence. Very fortunately the Chief of Police rolled a double 1 and not only was the licence granted to sell ice creams anywhere within the town, but the cost was only a dozen Tutti Frutti Specials for the local constabulary.
The game continued with both sides gaining intelligence with varying degrees of success although Rich did intervene and robbed Craig of some valuable coins.
Unknown to Craig the Post Office in Egypt was actually run by Italians so in kidnapping the postmaster he had unknowingly incapacitated my Secret Agent.
Tragedy struck when Rich's Thug was a little heavy handed in robbing the archaeologist 'Roberto Mankini' striking him a fatal blow.This tragic incident took place directly outside Rick's Place where Roberto's brother, Henri, was playing with his Jazz Band.
I can't say too much on the success or otherwise of the intelligence gathering as that is something that has yet to be played out, but a good night was had by all.

This is our favorite convenience store here in Ban Phe. It's right at the end of our driveway at the Condo Chain. The woman who owns it clearly makes at least 95 percent of her livelihood from TEFL groups, as does the woman who owns a similar little shop on the other side of our driveway.
The place sells bottled water, beer, iced coffee, and red bull, and most of us stopped in at least once a day. They also have a full food menu, but as far as I know none of us have tried any of it.
Like many of the little shops in Ban Phe, it also doubles as the family home and farm. The entire family lives in the back, including a number of chickens, which walk around all day in what you might call the living room.
If you walk past, you might see the family having dinner in the front of the shop or you might catch five or six children crowded around a karaoke machine while the mother cheers them on. It's a bit strange to think about, but there are quite a few people here who conduct all of their business from their living rooms.

January 2, 1776
Congress publishes the Tory Act
The Continental Congress publishes the "Tory Act" resolution on this day in 1776, which describes how colonies should handle those Americans who remain loyal to the British and King George.
The act called on colonial committees to indoctrinate those "honest and well-meaning, but uninformed people" by enlightening them as to the "origin, nature and extent of the present controversy." The Congress remained "fully persuaded that the more our right to the enjoyment of our ancient liberties and privileges is examined, the more just and necessary our present opposition to ministerial tyranny will appear."
However, those "unworthy Americans," who had "taken part with our oppressors" with the aim of gathering "ignominious rewards," were left to the relevant bodies, some ominously named "councils of safety," to decide their fate. Congress merely offered its "opinion" that dedicated Tories "ought to be disarmed, and the more dangerous among them either kept in safe custody, or bound with sufficient sureties to their good behavior."
The lengths Congress and lesser colonial bodies would go to in order to repress Loyalists took a darker tone later in the act. Listing examples of the "execrable barbarity with which this unhappy war has been conducted on the part of our enemies," Congress vowed to act "whenever retaliation may be necessary" although it might prove a "disagreeable task."
In the face of such hostility, some Loyalists chose not to remain in the American colonies. During the war, between 60,000 and 70,000 free persons and 20,000 slaves abandoned the rebellious 13 colonies for other destinations within the British empire. The Revolution effectively created two countries: Patriots formed the new United States, while fleeing Loyalists populated Canada

Searching For Signs
I have this odd habit, not exactly sure where it came from, of viewing objects and events in my life as signs. Sometimes I see something and I can't help but think, 'What could that mean?' Maybe it's a byproduct of my writer's brain, but I am always looking for the significance of a thing beyond what it is–even though I often find myself wondering if there truly is any meaning aside from that which we impose upon the world.
Why am I babbling about this?
I've been seeing lots of frogs lately, and it keeps reminding me of an idea I had for a story. I started writing the story a couple of nights ago, and today while I was out working I saw yet another frog.
Maybe I think too much, but I looked at that frog today—it was brown in case you're curious—and to me it was a sign that I'm on the right track.
Now, here's the thing: I realize that it might sound ridiculous, or delusional, but I think that if you keep an eye out for signs around you then you're more than likely to find them. Whether they actually mean anything at all is another question, one that we simply cannot answer. Unless you're convinced that our existence, our entire universe even, is absolutely random and holds no higher truths. I'm not convinced of that yet, signs or no.
A couple of years ago I went to interview for a new job and this subject came up. I don't remember the context, but I do remember why I mentioned it that day: on my way to the interview I saw two dead birds, side by side and all smashed into the road. I had seen a dead bird in the street before, but never two like that. I wondered what it might mean, and I told my potential employer about it. He was intrigued and he told me that he'd never considered it before.
Perhaps it meant nothing at all, and the dead birds were exactly that and nothing more, but I got the job and then got fired a week later.
For whatever it's worth, I haven't seen a pair of dead birds since.

A steady stream of Delaware third-graders walked from table to table in the Willis building conference room on March 22, looking at displays and asking questions of 4-H veterans before deciding on projects to tackle.
A steady stream of Delaware third-graders walked from table to table in the Willis building conference room on March 22, looking at displays and asking questions of 4-H veterans before deciding on projects to tackle.
The annual 4-H open house was open to anyone, said Laryssa Hook, educator for 4-H youth development at The Ohio State University Extension office in Delaware County. But third grade is the first year children can join, so Hook and her staff targeted that age group, sending flyers home and making presentations at several elementary schools in the county.
Delaware County has 75 4-H clubs, Hook said. Club memberships range from as few as five to more than 60. The Delaware Extension office is at 149 N. Sandusky St.
The Cloverbud program is for children in kindergarten through second grade. Cloverbuds have specific programs they follow, Hook said. In third grade, they become 4-H members and may choose one or more projects to complete each season. Youths can remain in the program through age 19.
4-H offers more than 200 projects to members, Hook said. Some can be customized to fit each child's interests.
"This (open house) is a great way for them to get to know something about 4-H before they jump in," said Tracy Burger, adviser for the Kountry Kids 4-H Club in the Sunbury area. She was manning a table on large animal projects with Morgan Jolliff, a freshman at Buckeye Valley High School who has been involved with 4-H for six years.
The open house gives students a chance to ask questions of someone who is already involved, Jolliff said. She explains why she chooses to raise beef cattle as her project and she talks to potential 4-H members about the other advantages of belonging to the organization.
"It's a great opportunity to meet new friends," she said.
"I've met kids from all over the county, many of whom I would never have met otherwise," said Lindsay Hope, a sophomore at Buckeye Valley and a member of the Delaware County Junior Fair Board.
While she raises dairy and feeder heifers, she also maintains a garden, which is what she and Tina Stevens, adviser for the Berlin 4-H Club, were promoting at their table.
Stevens is also learning about beekeeping and hopes to add a project on that to this year's offerings.
"I am so excited to see so many third-graders and their parents here � This is such a great family organization," Stevens said.
Brian and Connie Coghlan of Powell both belonged to 4-H when they were younger and brought their children, Sara, a third-grader at Wyandot Run Elementary, and Kevin, a fifth-grader at the same school, to the open house.
"We like the diversity (of the projects)," Brian Coghlan said, and the alternative to the "electronic age" many kids live in today.
Sara said she was leaning toward arts and crafts projects, specifically puppets,while Kevin was leaving his options open.
In addition to animals, gardening, crafts and other hands-on projects, kids have opportunities for kids in the performing arts, said Chuck Boquist, director of the 4-H Singers for over 15 years.
Last year, the group included nearly 20 singers who performed at county fairs, the state fair and other venues such as retirement homes, he said. The group is open to all 4-H members ages 9 to 18.
The deadline to sign up for 2010 projects is April 15, Hook said. More information about the local 4-H program and the project guidebook is available online at Delaware.ose.edu; click on 4-H Youth Development.

Buenos Dias!!
This week was a good week and a frustrating week all at the same time ha ha :) We worked hard Tuesday and Wednesday and had some good success. But after that basically every one of our investigators went out of town for the week. Wednesday and Thursday I think we had 1 or 2 lessons in total and we were in the street a lot.
But it was a great week because of General Conference (The semi annual opportunity to listen to a Prophet of God and the 12 Apostles speak to us to give us the guide and answers we need). It was great for 2 reasons:
1. We got to receive revelation and answers from the Servant of God
2. We got to sit down for 10 hours :)
I really did love conference. I wrote 4 questions and killed a spider crawling on my notes before conference started. In the sessions of conference all 4 of my questions were answered thoroughly. It was a great testimony builder that God is listening to my prayers and doing everything to answer my questions.
Some of my Highlights from Conference:
1 Kevin W. Pearson
"To hang in there isn't a gospel principle."
This life is to be enjoyed, not endured. We must persevere to the end, we must enjoy the journey, we must change where we are and follow the path to the end. If we "Hang in there" We aren't going to move, our situation isn't going to change, and we aren't going to become happier
"#Greatandspaciousbuilding4knowledge isn't the correct source of information"
If we really want to learn gods will, and how to be happy the pride of the world is not the place to look. The humility in the lord will truly lead us and our families to true everlasting Joy.
2 Pale G Renlund
"Twas I, Tis not I"
It doesn't matter who we were, It matters who we are and who we are becoming. Every person in the world will make a mistake, but if you have the true desire to change and act on that desire God will forget, and it doesn't matter, who you were before.
"A saint is a sinner who keeps on trying."
No matter how many times we fall, if we keep pushing forward and keep giving our best effort to improve we are just as much as a saint as anyone else.
3. Wilford W. Anderson
"I can teach you to dance, but you have to hear the music"
In our lives we can follow the routine and do what is required of us, but if we don't hear the music or recognize the blessings or benefit of what we are doing we will not enjoy the actions and will feel silly.
4. Boyd K. Packer
"A cookie and a kiss is the key to a happy marriage"
The small and simple things in life to show love will help a marriage and any other relationship grow. The small daily services will make stronger bonds than large infrequent demonstrations of love or service.
I learned so much from conference and it made a big impact on me. I testify that the prophet is called of God to guide us in these difficult times. I know that he will never lead us stray and that if we follow his council the difficulties will never get the best of us.
This week I ate alot of Cake to celebrate my birthday so I gained a little bit... okay a lot a bit of stomach line. So this week we had lunch that a member gave us and in the lunch it had light yogurt. I made the Joke that they were trying to say something... but all the other missionaries in my district agreed that they were saying something. So we decided that I am only allowed to eat things that say "Light" on the container in order to lose weight. So after that I ate my Apple (Light) Pear (Light) and then received a small candy. I wanted to eat it so I used my pen to write "Light" On the wrapper. Maybe I should start following the advice ha ha :)

text: I like this. I think the two people kinda blend together a bit because they are both wearing dark clothing, but the reflections show to different people. I think it's the reflection that makes this image work so well. The musculature in the man's leg is nice too! Lot's of things to keep the viewer interesting without being overwhelmed.


text: tp3dxf Posted March 25, 2002 Just returned from a really good ride at Ballinger. I rode with my buddy and his son. They were riding a TTR 125 and a DRZ 250. Got there around 8:30 this morning. Hit the trails around 9:00. I was worried about the weather. It started snowing as I was driving over Hwy 33 on my way there. On our first ride It was overcast and kinda cold. We rode for about 7 miles and then attempted our first hill climb. Nothing major. As soon as I started up the hill something was different. I got really loose and just barely made it up the hill. The TTR also made it up but it wasn't easy. My buddy on his brand new DRZ didn't make it and ended up on his side half way up the hill. The problem was snot slick sticky mudd. None of us have any real mud riding experience. This stuff is tricky. We went back down the hill and tried in vain to rid ourselves of this horrible substance. We then decided to head back to the trucks. The weather had changed for the worse. On the way back we experienced freezing rain and snow. It was bitchen. Except my goggles were so fogged up they were useless. After we regrouped at the trucks it was off again. This time the weather was better. It was amazing how much the soil had dried. We rode up out of the main road up some killer singletracks and everything was way fun. No dust killer traction. It was all good. We then deciced to try a trail we had never been on. It had everything from open dirt road to razor thin ridge riding single track. The single track was a real test of nerves. Not very much room for error because it was on this sucidal ridge. We all made it and were just amped! Back to the truck and time for a BBQ. After that one more ride. We found another single track that was just insane. Really technical tight single track with switch backs creek crossings mud and steep downhills. Mr. DRZ went down again on a uphill exposed single track. The weather was getting a little sketchy so we headed back to the trucks. On the way back we had hail. It was strange the sun was shining not many clouds in the sky and hail was just pouring down on us. Kinda hurts when it hits you in the face at speed. Overall a really good ride. Hardley anbody on the trails. The weather made this 50 mile ride a day to rember. Later. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think you should use your old iMac as a Jukebox and recording station :D
My old iMac.
It's a 2007, white iMac.
Kinda sad.
It's been with me for so long and now, i have a newer (3 year old Macbook) i'm retiring my old iMac.
No, it ain't.
But i don't care.
It's only a computer.
A machine that enables me to do the things i do.
Nothing more.
Over 950 video have been made and uploaded with that computer. It's been the centre of m life for so long and now, a younger model is taking over.
No pictures, no sentiment.
Tomorrow i delete the hard drive.
No worries, i copied it to an external HDD.
Seriously, at this very moment, i'm uploading a video to youtube via my iPhone. Watching a youtube video on my tele via my iPad mini which is connected to my Apple TV. And of course using my new macbook.
I'm such a fan boy.
I'm not.
But still, it's weird.
