Tags: Bull Durham, Hollywood couple Tim Robbins and Susan Sarandon, Slap Shot
This is not only the best movie ever made about ice hockey but also one of the best ones about the declining rustbelt of the 1970s, making its own way through any broke and moribund industrial cities. The Charlestown Chiefs are a minor-league, low-grade team in a Pennsylvania town with the largest mill, employing 10,000 workers, being due to close, killing off the economic base of the town. Coach and player Reggie Dunlop (stared by Paul Newman) knows that this may be the final season of his team and goes to war with champion sleazebag Strother Martin, his own manager, to try and unearth the team's anonymous owner. Meanwhile, he and the team resort to showbiz tactics in order to score some ink and build up their name, hiring the Hanson brothers, and making sure that there is a good punch-up or 10 in every game.
The 1988 baseball movie of Ron Shelton is mainly known these days for first introducing the liberal Hollywood couple Tim Robbins and Susan Sarandon. This is an indication that this movie does not follow the usual trajectory which characterizes most US sports stories. In fact, in Bull Durham, the mechanics of baseball don't really matter at all and the most unusually important thing is the unfairness of sport, as suggested in its love-story subplot that perhaps a good relationship is the best success.
Kevin Costner plays the role of "Crash" Davis, an experienced player who was brought in by the Durham Bulls to train the undisciplined but talented Ebby LaLoosh (stared by Robbins). Davis's job is raising his game, a task which is shared by baseball groupie Annie Savoy (stared by Sarandon), an older woman that adopts LaLoosh as her lover. Between them, a love triangle ensues, although Susan Sarandon keeps us guessing as to whom Annie will eventually choose.
Olympia Even after 80 years, Leni Riefenstahl's document telling the story of the 1936 Berlin Olympics still remains controversial; not only because of its government-sponsored status but also because of the questions it raises about Riefenstahl's own ideology.

Will you love me after the new has worn off?
Castelluccio di Norcia is a super known place among photographers, especially during that period of the year called " la fiorita ".
During that summer period all the piano grande gets an awesome flower bloom, a spectacular site to say the least.
I was looking for something a bit different, that's the reason I've decided to shoot with my telephoto instead of a wide angle and keep the lens deliberately wide open to get an impressionistic look of the image.
One of the most spectacular things I've ever seen and photographed in nature!
Here is a black leopard or jaguar.

With a classic, retro flavor Abigail and Lily Chapin are bringing music from the late 1950s into the 21st Century. The Chapin Sisters take us on A Date With the Everly Brothers, an album set for release by Lake Bottom Records on April 23, 2013. The sisters have definitely been studying what the brothers were famous for, employing melodically crafted two-part harmonies to convey a dreamy sense of longing. Filled with songs like "Crying In the Rain", "When Will I Be Loved", and "Always It's You", the album holds a nostalgic captivation which breathes a sense of youth and innocence into the air. "Sleepless Nights" and "Down In the Willow Garden" are two of my favorite tracks, but honestly the entire album from start to finish was an enjoyable listen. The Chapin Sisters with their lovely voices have put together a timeless tribute to the beloved Everly Brothers, sure to be appreciated by those who know the music by heart, as well as those who may have never heard it before.
With roots running deep into the late 80's and 90's alternative scene, Lisa Germano channels her years of emotional experience to release her 12th album, No Elephants. Staying true to her easy, soft, and often hushed singing voice, Lisa adds colorful, quirky sound effects all throughout the twelve tracks of her latest attempt.
Piano work is slow and dark in "Last Straws For Sale", "Diamonds", "Back to Earth", and the first track, "Ruminants". "Dance of the Bees" has a 'Yanni meets Trent Reznor for a few drinks' attitude. "Haunted" offers a slightly upbeat and positive tempo to trace your thoughts upon.
Album releases February 12th from Badman Recordings.
In the early 2000's British Band The Smoke Fairies started an adventure that took them from the streets of New Orleans to the Folk Fest of London England. What it has given us is their third Album and a great 2012 release. Blood Speaks brings all of this young up and coming band's influences to the table on this recording. The first track "Let Me Know" gives us a chance to experience this band's melodic side, then moves into the sick Southern Slide of "The Three of Us". The progression of sound and the harmonies make this a diverse album. The title track "Blood Speaks" sounds like a cry mixed with an anthem to a youth. This 2012 release covers twelve tracks that make for some great morning tunes for a music fan looking for a new sound. Take a listen to this deep sound and decide for yourself if this is an album of a different musical generation. I say that Smoke Fairies are a band that will make big moves in the next few years and we all should take notice. Start by getting your hands on this newest album by the band and see where it may take you.
The newest album by Boston based band Big Dipper is the band's fifth album and an ALMOST READY RECORDS release. From the first track "Lord Scrumptious" to the last "Guitar Named Desire" this band has brought fun and solid sounds to the table. The Indie Rock Group seems to show maturity and progress with each album and this is no different. Listen to the track "Princess Warrior" and get a feel of how these four kids from the north east can have such a passion for the sound. Crashes on the Platinum Planet has 12 tracks that have the ability to make this Album reviewer stand up and take notice. The smooth sound the band rocks on the track "Hurricane Bill" gives you a sense of something past 60's British Rock Bands may have been looking for to complete their sound. In my opinion there is nothing better than listening to something that you don't know what to expect. And Big Dipper has done that for me and can do the same for you. Check this band out on Facebook and get this new amazingly fun album by Big Dipper.
The album House of Mercy continues Bex Marshall's strong influenced Mississippi Delta Blues-meets-country gospel sound, and although she is a British musician, she delivers a genuinely American-roots style. Marshall tells her soul driven tales with the big sound she brings and the finesse of a truly inspired songstress. The album's title track "House of Mercy" showcases Marshall's raspy, blues voice and excellent execution of her well-polished sound. "Gone Fishin" is another track that paints a picture of great blues folklore of the Mississippi Delta region. This album is solid from track to track. Definitely one to keep an eye out for!
If you are in the mood for a different flavor of music, something that takes on experimental, psychedelic, improvised instrumentals, come take a ride with the new album Photos of Photos, by Carlton Melton. The hypnotic trance that is created is pleasant as well as meditational. It was recorded in the geodesic dome in Mendocino County, which really adds an extra layer of the deep space travel sounds that are created. With songs such as "Space Treader" one can only expect to travel on the journey with the San Francisco based, four piece band, Carlton Melton. Definitely one to add to the repertoire for that extra step out of reality for a minute, and just RELAX!
Psychedelic Pill is a sprawling, brilliant mess of an album, one that finds Neil Young returning to what he does best with Crazy Horse. A gargantuan, lumbering rhythm section and Neil spewing distorted, loose leads all weave together into a tapestry of sonics that sound both trashed-out-garage and spritually-enlightened-outdoor amphitheater. This is jam band music of a different order. It's not about technical virtuosity, but pure unvarnished grit and soul. That being said, Psychedelic Pill may not be the most accessible entry point for Crazy Horse neophytes. The album is long and contains only 8 songs. The opening track, "Driftin Back" clocks in at 27 minutes, and it's daunting. "Born in Ontario" and "Twisted Road" are a pair of classic-sounding Young tracks that might seem redundant if it was anyone else, but since it's Neil, it never gets old. "Ramada Inn" and "She's Always Dancing" are longer workouts, and contain some great guitar explorations. Just when things seem to be winding down, out rolls "Walk Like a Giant", which literally gave me goosebumbs the first time I heard it. Psychedelic Pill is very off-the-cuff lyrically, to the point that verses spill over and don't rhyme. It doesn't matter. This is about the music. This is the best Crazy Horse album since Ragged Glory. The only thing I might recommend is shuffling the song sequence. "Walk Like a Giant" seems like such an appropriate opener for an album.
So put away the electric cords and break out the wood for this one. It is a top 10 pick for the holiday season.
And if you are a Jennifer Hartswick fan, then you will really enjoy the Gorillaz tune "Clint Eastwood" which shows Jennifer's pipes are not just for the horn. And along with all the great tracks on this one they have included the bonus track "Greyhound Rising" to complete this eleven track new album by Trey Anastasio and his band.
Take this one with you on the road, for it has great "Traveler" tunes.
With the release of their fifth album and a summer tour that ran from coast to coast, New York based JD & The Straight Shot have reason to be excited. Midnight Run, released on the Indie Label, has a nice Classic American sound with a twist of New York style grooves. The album has some great tunes and also gives a nod to Payne, Barrere and Kibbee of Little Feat with a pretty piano swing on "Let It Roll". The album also shows their love for bluegrass and rock sounds with some great banjo picking in the title track "MIdnight Run". This album has already caught the attention of AMC's hit TV Series "Hell on Wheels" who is using the track "Can't Make Tears". And when you hear frontman Jim Dolan's tune "Voodoo Stew" you will wonder how this creative musician, songwriter, and band leader has time for a day job. With all that Jim and The Straight Shot have on their plate, this new album is a treat for a feast. It's a great album to enjoy with family and friends of all ages. Check out JD & The Straight Shot at http://www.thestraightshotmusic.com/ and download the newest album Midnight Run for the holiday season.
Were you one of the 17,666 that were in Auburn Hills Michigan on December 6th 1997? If so then you know just how great this newest of the ongoing LivePhish Archives collection is. The live recording was released on September 25th on a digitally remastered double disc and also available for download at LivePhish.com. This most recent release reminds us why we all love this band so much. From the first track "Golgi Apparatus" to the second and a sweet groove of "Antelope" you know that this will be something special for all who were there and those of us who wish we were. The first set holds true to form for the boys from Burlington. A solid set with some beautiful transitions from song to song. First set highlights include a very strong pairing of "Bathtub Gin" to a crazy "Foam" intro and continuing with "Sample", "Fee", "Maze" and a high energy first set closer with "Cavern". But for most of us the real butter is in the second set with non-stop jamming that gave the audience some new, some old and something to Reprise. The Band never let up on their third run to Auburn Hills, and with the first lick of "Tweezer" the crowd never sat down. "Tweezer" led into a guitar shredding Jimi Hendrix tune "Izabella" that found its way to the new tune "Twist Around". The band never took a breath as the jam continued to a sweet builder in "Piper" down to Fishman hitting the high notes in "Sleeping Monkey". And to end the set they come full circle with "Tweezer Reprise". Each song carried a long jam that the band created as a musical conversation between each other and the audience. Ending it all with the bluegrass classic "Rocky Top", it is easy to see why the fine folks at Phish Camp made this gem the next release in the LivePhish Archives collection. So to the 17,666 fans and the Band, thank you so much for letting us in to the show. Now we must play it in one sitting at the highest volume and dance, dance , dance.
I have always regarded Keller Williams as possibly one of, if not the most, talented acoustic artists on the scene today. I have recommended his live performances as my favorite act to attend for several years. The charisma he exudes is considered by many as comedic as it is musical, and is worth the price of admission itself. Typically playing solo, he has been known to mix it up with supporting musicians historically; with projects like "Dubalicious", "The WMD's", "The Keller Williams Incident" and he has even tried his hand at bluegrass, with "Keller and the Keels". Accompanied by Keith Mosely and Jeff Austin of Yonder Mountain String Band, he graced fans with the release of an all bluegrass tribute Grateful Grass, a foot stomping album consisting completely of Grateful Dead covers. As a devoted fan of both Keller and bluegrass, I was intrigued by his newest project where he teams up with superband, "The McCourys" as they tour promoting their new album Pick.
His 18th album sheds light on yet another aspect of Keller, and proves he has and will continue to keep fans satisfied. His new album is a testament showing off another one of his many talents as a successful frontman and bandmate. Credited to "Keller Williams and the Travelin McCourys", Pick is a studio masterpiece celebrating many wonderful talents, supported by the entire band, whilst still maintaining Keller's playful charisma. With fresh original songs like "Broken Convertible" and Jason Carter's superb fiddle work on "Something Else", Pick offers some new instrumental madness, accompanied by lyrics reminiscent of Keller's solo originals that will have you laughing out loud. Some of his popular originals like "Mullet Cut" and "I Am Elvis" also made the cut, with the pleasing addition of stellar mandolin play by Ronnie McCoury and banjo boogies by Rob McCoury. Alan Bartram provides a booming bass line, allowing Keller and the gang to put a delightful twist on popular cover songs as well. He has been known to recreate his own versions of new and classic covers, and Pick does not disappoint. Making an appearance on the album are taboo versions of "I'm Amazed" by My Morning Jacket, Mike Daughty's "American Car" and Jesse J's "Price Tag" to name a few. Closing the album, "Bumper Sticker" epitomizes the synergistic talents. Keller even managed to get folk legend Del McCoury to contribute his vocal skills on the final track. Between the band's fast paced pickin' and listening to Keller and Del sing about "Hippies not using shampoo", "Bumper Sticker" is an appropriate finish, sure to leave any listener permanently grinnin'!
Things still ain't going well on Dylan's new album ,Tempest, an absolute stunner of a record that feels like the proper follow up to Modern Times. ( 2009's Together Through Life seemed weak and out-of-place, but in retrospect, a stop-gap detour). The same themes are present, but Dylan really ups the intensity. His voice is as ragged and damaged as ever. "Duquesne Whistle" begins the record innocently, maybe the sweetest thing on here, but, after that, things get brutal really quick. "This is hard country to stay alive in, Blades are everywhere, and they're breakin' my skin, I'm armed to the hilt, and I'm strugglin' hard, You won't get out of here, unscarred" he belts out on "Narrow Way", over a white-hot, honky tonk rhythm. Time seems skewed in the modern Dylan universe; Biblical worlds bump up against the present. He's a judge and the judged in an impending apocalypse, a hangman and the hanged in the post-apocalypse. Those threats keep coming! Over the standard-stop-start blues beat (think "Hoochie Coochie Man") of "Early Roman Kings", Dylan spits "I can strip you of life, strip you of breath, Ship you down to the house of death". "Pay in Blood" contains more savagery per line than any Dylan song ever, too many to mention. At his most bile-throated yet, he practically barks the recurring line "I pay in blood, but not my own". Even the mellow waltz of "Soon After Midnight" hides treachery:"Two-timing slim, who's ever heard of him, I'll drag his corpse through the mud".On "Long and Wasted Years", the most Dylan can muster is smug admonishment to a woman of his past. The way he belts out "Oh baby, you just might have to go to jail someday" makes me chuckle.
There are two wild cards on Tempest. The last track, "Roll On John", about the slain former Beatle might seem out of place. But it's a nice respite from the blood-spilling that preceeds the record, a possible lament to or plea for a purity that was lost. The title track is a 14 minute, 40-odd verse rumination on the sinking of the Titanic. Critics have made such a big deal about the fact that it's not historically accurate. Fact, fiction, myths, even movie characters all fall into the sea. It's basically Dylan's version of a traditional tragedy song. It is grueling, and indulgent, yet not unlistenable.
The Avett Brothers "The Carpenter"
"The Once and Future Carpenter" is a warm opening track, like an old friend who's returned after a long absence. That line "if I live the life I'm given, I won't be scared to die" comes to the forefront. "Live and Die" is catchy, but more style over substance. With "Winter in My Heart" the music takes a somber, yet more exciting turn. There's plenty of great lines in almost every song; "Febuary Seven" ("And as the last of breath was drawn from me/ the light broke in and brought me to my feet"; "Down with the Shine" ("Things change and get strange with the movement of time/ It's happening , right now, to you"); and "Life"( "Wouldn't it be fine to stand behind the words we say in the best of times?") "Through My Prayers" is the real tearjerker on the record and I'll admit I got misty-eyed. Yet, I feel conflicted about it. Part of me thinks it's great, but then it feels at times like Avetts-by-numbers.
Trampled By Turtles "Stars and Satellites"
In April of this year, TBT released Stars and Satellites. It's Palomino turned on it's head. A desolate, rural melancholy is at the forefront ("High Water"). The lightning-fast hoedowns are minimized ("Risk"). It feels like they're trying to break into a new realm or have already-but just barely. If they have, I wouldn't say they know how to flawlessly maneuver through it yet. Lyrically, they can be odd, even opaque at times. It's simultaneously fascinating and frustrating. The few ragers can be jolting alongside everything else.Most of Stars and Satellites isn't exactly easy listening. I don't mean it's necessarily depressing.or uninviting. It's something that demands repeat listens. More gets revealed each time. Those kind of records can be the most rewarding in the long run. That's why it's one of my favorites this year, so far.
Trampled By Turtles have six albums-Songs From a Ghost Town (2004), Blue Sky & the Devil (2005), Trouble (2007), Duluth (2008), Palomino (2010), and Stars & Satellites (2012). Also check out www.archive.org for some great band-approved live downloads. But, please, if you like them, support them. Buy a record, ticket, or t-shirt. The name is silly, but the music is not. I kind of like that contradiction!

FSU students chime in on the show's depiction of sorority life.
The new hit show on FOX this fall is Scream Queens, which portrays a draconian sorority being terrorized by a serial killer known as the Red Devil. The show is co-created by Ryan Murphy, the mind behind American Horror Story and, more appropriately, Glee. On Glee, Murphy tried to depict the tangled and often dramatic lives of high school students, but now he's graduated onto something else. His depiction of the fictional sorority Kappa Kappa Tau is one of harsh rules and utterly devastating (and often racist) remarks from one sister to the next.
For example, the president of the chapter, Emma Roberts' Chanel Oberlin nicknames one pledge as "Deaf Taylor Swift" because, well, she's deaf and likes Taylor Swift. Furthermore, the show mocks the casual racism that may or may not be found in sororities, featuring a KKT housemaid that Chanel calls "White Mammy." The show does not pull punches in how it mocks Greek life.
Although certainly tongue-in-cheek, KKT's depiction can certainly rile up actual sorority houses that may be offended by the unfair representation. However, there are women that feel the show's portrayal — while hyperbolic — does sororities justice. In the pursuit of fairness, I interviewed three women who have varying degrees of involvement in sorority life: a girl who's currently in one, a girl who left one and a girl that was never interested in the first place. All of the women interviewed for this piece wanted to remain anonymous, so, for the purpose of this article, I'll call them Current Sorority Member, Never Interested and Former Sorority Member.
The show Scream Queens portrays sororities as being a brutal and elitist society that's similar to "an all-girl Game of Thrones." Where do you stand on that? When you first rushed, did you worry it'd be like that?
In the show there's a character named Chanel who's a "ruthless b***h" and she's president of Kappa Kappa Tau. Is there a figure like that in yours? Or in others?
How do you think this negative portrayal of sororities got started?
Really? So that entirely turned you off from the culture?
Do you think the "Head B**** in Charge" trope exists in sororities? Do they exist among girls at all?
Could you give me a glimpse as to what your sisters went through? Did they go to FSU?
Was there a Chanel character in your life?
In the show, Kappa Kappa Tau is forced to let anyone be a pledge. If that happened in real life would mayhem break loose?
So would you say you mostly left because of financial problems?
Regardless of how you feel about the accuracy of the show's portrayal of sororities, most people can agree — it has a 71 percent on Rotten Tomatoes — that Scream Queens is incisive, funny and entertaining. You can catch the show on Tuesdays at 9 p.m. on FOX.

Symptoms of Alzheimer's/Dementia
At first, increasing forgetfulness or mild confusion may be the only symptoms of Alzheimer's disease you notice. But over time, the disease robs you of more of your memory, especially recent memories. The rate at which symptoms worsen varies from person to person.
If you have Alzheimer's, you may be the first to notice that you're having unusual difficulty remembering things and organizing your thoughts. Or you may not recognize that anything is wrong, even when changes are noticeable to your family members, close friends or co-workers.
Brain changes associated with Alzheimer's disease lead to growing trouble with:
Everyone has occasional memory lapses. It's normal to lose track of where you put your keys or forget the name of an acquaintance. But the memory loss associated with Alzheimer's disease persists and worsens, affecting your ability to function at work and at home.
People with Alzheimer's may:
Repeat statements and questions over and over, not realizing that they've asked the question before.
Forget conversations, appointments or events, and not remember them later.
Routinely misplace possessions, often putting them in illogical locations.
Get lost in familiar places.
Eventually forget the names of family members and everyday objects.
Have trouble finding the right words to identify objects, express thoughts or take part in conversations.
Thinking and reasoning
Alzheimer's disease causes difficulty concentrating and thinking, especially about abstract concepts like numbers.
Multitasking is especially difficult, and it may be challenging to manage finances, balance checkbooks and pay bills on time. These difficulties may progress to inability to recognize and deal with numbers.
Making judgments and decisions
Responding effectively to everyday problems, such as food burning on the stove or unexpected driving situations, becomes increasingly challenging.
Planning and performing familiar tasks
Once-routine activities that require sequential steps, such as planning and cooking a meal or playing a favorite game, become a struggle as the disease progresses. Eventually, people with advanced Alzheimer's may forget how to perform basic tasks such as dressing and bathing.
Changes in personality and behavior
Brain changes that occur in Alzheimer's disease can affect the way you act and how you feel. People with Alzheimer's may experience:
Social withdrawal
Distrust in others
Irritability and aggressiveness
Changes in sleeping habits
Loss of inhibitions
Delusions, such as believing something has been stolen
Many important skills are not lost until very late in the disease. These include the ability to read, dance and sing, enjoy old music, engage in crafts and hobbies, tell stories, and reminisce.
This is because information, skills and habits learned early in life are among the last abilities to be lost as the disease progresses; the part of the brain that stores this information tends to be affected later in the course of the disease. Capitalizing on these abilities can foster successes and maintain quality of life even into the moderate phase of the disease.

What is Alzheimer's/Dementia?


It's Never Too Late to Get a Flu Shot ... Or Is It?
The cheery reminder of "It's never too late to get that flu shot!" has been popping up on the media lately. Is it correct?
Well… yes and no. From a medical standpoint, it's true. While an eleventh-hour flu vaccine given to you or your child after influenza has already hit your community won't protect you as well as if you had received it months ago, it will still give you a measure of protection. How much protection simply depends on the interval between when you got the vaccine and when you personally are finally exposed to the flu. That's fairly impossible to predict without knowing a lot of other variables. So yes, if you can get a vaccine this late in the season, it is still totally worth doing so. While we are finally experiencing intense flu activity here in Oregon, we haven't been inundated with it the way the East Coast has, and if you are careful about your exposures and your handwashing, your flu vaccine still has a good chance that it can protect you before flu crosses your path (unless you are a health care worker or a teacher, in which case you have almost certainly been exposed already multiple times).
But there's a big 'if' in that statement. IF you can get a vaccine, it will still help.
Why the 'if'? Well, it's January, and many medical offices have either used up their stock of vaccine — and are unable/unlikely to get more — or will soon be running out. As I write this, we still have some vaccine but we aren't sure how long it will last or how much more we will be able to get. Eventually we too will run out. We might be able to get more, we might not; if we do keep ordering more, we also run the risk that the flu shot frenzy will die down before our supplies run out. That leaves us with unused vaccine, and that's an expensive proposition.
This article from the FDA is a nice explanation of the science and technology that's involved in making the flu vaccine every year. I think it's all rather exciting: the idea of the world's infectious disease experts getting out their Magic Eight-Balls and making trips to Hong Kong to try to predict which strains will strike us sets my nerdy little heart thumping. I'd love to be a fly on the wall for that. But what the FDA summary doesn't mention, and what most news stories about flu vaccine leave out, is the rest of the guesswork that's involved.
How many people will queue up to get the flu vaccine? And when? Will the public flock obediently to their doctors' offices in early fall, the way we always urge them to? Or, lulled into a sense of false security by a couple of mild flu seasons, will they keep putting it off? If they don't bother to get the vaccine one year and there isn't widespread disease, will they be even less likely to bare their arms for a poke the following season?
And when the news media starts showing footage of overwhelmed emergency departments in the big cities, will the public suddenly feel motivated to get vaccinated?
These aren't questions that can be answered easily by the use of science… at least, not by the kind of science that involves going to the Far East and getting samples from pigs and chickens. Now we're dealing not with virology and epidemiology, but sociology — human nature — and economics. Human beings, in their own way, are more maddeningly unpredictable than viruses any day.
So after the big brains at the CDC and elsewhere have consulted the stars, tossed the bones, and sacrificed the chickens to study the entrails (okay, not really… after they have Done Their Research) and told the world which strains should be included, then the manufacturers of the vaccine have to make their best predictions of vaccine demand for the coming season. What a lot of people don't realize is that in this country, the flu vaccine — and routine childhood vaccines — aren't made by the government, but by for-profit businesses. They want to keep their production of the vaccine high enough to meet the demand, so as not to miss out on sales of vaccine, but they don't want to overshoot and end up with a lot of unused product. Since the flu vaccine is different every year, leftovers from this season aren't something that the manufacturers can just keep on ice for next year.
The same process happens on a smaller scale in your doctor's office. Every year, months in advance, we place our orders. Usually we base the numbers on how much vaccine we were able to give out the previous season. It's especially complicated for pediatric offices, because there are different vaccine doses for the youngest children versus the older kids. In offices like ours that see both commercially insured kids as well as clients on the Oregon Health Plan, we have to order both from the commercial suppliers and the federal Vaccines for Children program. And then there's the option of FluMist, the intranasal live vaccine, as well. Somehow, in a process that I don't even begin to understand, our nursing staff makes their best guess and places the initial orders.
Vaccine usually arrives in late August, and as soon as we have vaccine in all of the necessary categories we put out the call and start vaccinating like crazy. I'm proud of our patients: every year you seem to come in earlier and every year we are able to vaccinate more children (and their parents, when desired) against the flu. It's wonderful. But it could be better, and this year illustrates exactly why.
Remember the H1N1 influenza epidemic of the 2009-2010 season? That was the year when the novel strain of flu hit first in April 2009, then went underground for a few months only to re-emerge in the fall with a fury that most of us in the healthcare world had never seen before. Usually February is the busiest month of the year for us, but October 2009 broke all previous records for us for the sheer number of patients seen. (Because of what may possible have been the best vacation timing of my career, I ended up spending the very worst week of the season on a working cattle ranch in eastern Idaho; after up to ten hours a day in the saddle for a week a nice flu epidemic back home didn't sound so bad.) Vaccine production was thrown for a loop and we had two different vaccines to worry about, in addition to all the other variables. First we got the seasonal vaccine the experts had already recommended, then the H1N1-specific vaccine. Or maybe it was the other way around; it's all a blur now.
Patients packed EDs and office waiting rooms. Lines for the vaccine wrapped around the block. Many offices, including ours, removed toys and books from the waiting rooms and exam rooms to help stop the spread of the flu. Schools closed entirely in some places due to the disease burden. Masks were handed out at the front desk when appropriate. Everyone wanted both the vaccine and antiviral medications if they did get sick. It was, in short, a feeding frenzy, a perfect storm.
We survived, and saw increased interest in the flu vaccine the following year. Everyone remembered H1N1 and most wanted their children to be vaccinated. We had a mild flu season that year, the 2010-2011 season. And the following year, we had another mild season. Memories of the fall of 2009 began to fade.
This year, the country as a whole is having a bad year. Flu is more widespread and more severe and more people are dying from it. The result? Those who didn't get themselves and their families vaccinated in the fall are now desperately seeking the vaccine. Some are finding it; some aren't. It's just so late in the vaccination season.
It might help to think of flu vaccine supplies as being a little bit like breastfeeding. If you've breastfed an infant, you know that as the infant feeds for longer periods and more frequently the amount of milk produced increases. It's supply and demand: baby demands and mama supplies. Baby has a growth spurt and wants to eat every hour? Mama's milk-producing glands start working extra shifts and paying overtime to get the milk out. It's the same way with flu vaccine: If we vaccinate like crazy in the early fall and blow through all the doses we've ordered by, say, late October, we can order more, no problem. We'll be able to get more because it's early in the season and the manufacturers still have stock. If that's happening everywhere and the manufacturers start to run out, they'll make more because they know they can still sell it if it's early in the season. It's a feedback loop, with more demand creating more supply.
But when demand is lackluster in the fall and then suddenly peaks in January, everyone is caught with their pants down (and not in the sense of waiting expectantly for a shot in the gluteus maximus). Medical offices are reluctant to order more, because no one wants to be stuck with a fridge full of unusable and expensive vaccine. And they might not be able to get more even if they decide to take that risk, as the manufacturers may have called it quits for the season so that they don't end up with a warehouse of leftovers. This is like the baby who has had a poor appetite for weeks and then suddenly starts eating like crazy; mama's milk production isn't going to come back overnight (thankfully, breastfeeding is not a for-profit industry).
The take-home lesson from all of this is predictable, even if the flu virus and the vaccine supply isn't. Get your flu vaccine every year, for you and your children. Get it early, as soon as the vaccine becomes available. Give your doctor's office a chance to protect you before the virus hits. The more people we can vaccinate in September and October, the better we are able to get more supplies and vaccinate the folks who will inevitably procrastinate.
Consider it your civic duty.
Just passed 5500 flu shots given this year. This is well above previous year totals. Thanks to our patients and hard working staff for getting so many patients protected. We are ordering doses as long as there is demand. Flu season appears to be getting started in Oregon with higher levels of influenza activity in other states. Check out CDC Flu Activity or Google Flu trends for latest information.


Many people have not taken time to realize that CRM is not only for big businesses and that has made them dismiss the idea for small businesses. This is an incorrect attitude because any small business company that wants to grow well should embrace CRM. CRM is a short form of customer relationship management. It is a strategy and software at the same time whose role is to manage the customer data and leads. It keeps check of any information in the online platform that relates to customers. Any business whether small or huge will experience benefits when practicing use of this software. These are some of the beneficial things that you will reap as a business when you implement a customer relationship management strategy. Understand more what is CRM.
Firstly, it will help you know and understand your customers. There is no business without a client. Without customers, a business is not a complete entity. It makes the root of everything. That brings you to the point of desire to understand them more. If there is anything you can do to ensure you improve on this then it is worth investing in. You will get an updated detail of the customers that buy from you. You can check their sales history and know the trends in buying. This helps you have an idea of what they would love to have and that way you can know what information will excite them. It will help you in tracking them and getting them back if they leave. This kind of regular updates of the customer information on buying will enable you to build a good interaction platform.
It raises the number of sales in the business. This is one of the core aims of customer relationship management in a small business. Your business sales will considerably grow even as your revenue improves. This is effected by the lead management. You will get contacts to engage with customers in their level and create emails that are personalized. What you should know is that you have all their info.
Finally, it helps to refine and test your marketing skill as you also retain more customers. When you know which method works best for you more customers will also be in touch with your business. You are not likely to lose clients every time, but you will be gaining while retaining the former ones. It will keep you on top of your game with good marketing initiatives and maintain the right relationships. In the end, your marketing skills will be top. Know more about Infusionsoft.

The inspiration for these pictures came from a number of things, but they were definitely influenced by Forced Entertainment: specifically Emanuelle Enchanted, and the Cardboard Sign Photographs they made with Hugo Glendinning, but there's a little bit of Speak Bitterness in there too.

Viewbug asked me to create this short travel photography photo tips video for their website and I used some of my images from Europe to talk a bit about how I approach visual storytelling. I hope you enjoy.
As Stacey and I get ready to board a plane headed west this morning, my thoughts are turning back to 2013. Last year was a rough one not only for my family, but for a number of my close friends' families as well. It was a year that contained a lot of loss in my circle. Last fall, after the passing of my grandfather that summer, we lost a truly inspirational and incredible woman, my Nana Georgia Henry.
Nana lived, loved, laughed and left the world a better place for having walked it. Even in her final hours she showed strength, grace and an innate sense of what was most important. She loved a good adventure and understood my wanderlust like few others that I've known. Her favorite place on earth was the North Shore of Kauai, and since I first stepped foot there nearly 20 years ago, I have shared her deep respect and love for the power of that place.

They offer a complete contrast to your usual safari camp or lodge - a houseboat is a complete change of scene - from land to water. Imagine waking up to stunning water views every morning, cooling breezes and game viewing by boat while sitting back and enjoying outstanding hospitality as you relax and soak up the scene before you.
To help in selecting a suitable houseboat for you we would need to consider how it fits into your itinerary, time of year and budget. If you are considering a safari houseboat mention this in the Start Planning form at the bottom of the page and we will be pleased to offer our recommendations.
Located on the far north of Botswana, on the border with Namibia, lies the great Chobe River. Here you can cruise its waters aboard a luxury houseboat (either in Botswana or Namibia).
Located in Northern Botswana, alongside Namibia's Caprivi Strip, Chobe National Park is the second largest National Park in Botswana with the largest concentration of game on the African continent. The Chobe River, forming the northern boundary of the park, originates in the highlands of Angola. From there, it winds its way into the Zambezi River, which eventually flows into Victoria Falls, through Mozambique and into the Indian Ocean.
Because it crosses floodplains, forests and open woodlands, the Chobe consists of a complex network of channels and marshes, which makes for spectacular game viewing due to the lush vegetation that surrounds it. While it has water all year round, the Chobe rises significantly from February to May, after the rains in Angola that start in November.
Strictly speaking a dam, Lake Kariba is situated halfway along the mighty Zambezi River and 90 kms downstream of the magnificent Victoria Falls. The Kariba dam wall was designed by the French Engineer and Inventor Andre Coyne, & built by the Italians between 1955 & 1959. At the time of filling, in 1960, it created the largest man-made lake in the world and still remains the largest by water volume.
After a few hours of relaxing cruising aboard the main vessel, the boat will moor in a stunning Bay and allow time for exploring of the surrounds by smaller tender boats. Activities such as water-‐based game viewing, allows for a great opportunity to experience the enormous diversity of wildlife and get that little bit closer. The relatively untouched bush and its variety of inhabitants provides for a photographers paradise. Stunning hues in the horizon synonymous with the surrounding majestic hills, unbeatable light striking bush colours and wild subjects all make for unique photo opportunities.
Try your hand at fishing in these vast waters for a variety of fish species including the common and delicious Talapia Bream, caught on simple worm and hooks method, to the ferocious Tiger Fish which provide an adrenaline filled fight to land in the boat.
Matusadona National Park is one of several protected wildlife areas with shorelines on Lake Kariba. Some 338,000 acres (1370 km²) in area, it is bounded on the west by the Ume river and on the east by the Sanyati River. Two-‐thirds of it lies south of the Zambezi Escarpment formed by the 600 m high Matusadona Range from which it takes its name.
Matusadona boasts a unique combination of pristine and rugged wilderness, together with the water frontage of Lake Kariba. Together with its renowned sunsets, there is abundant birdlife and many more mammals ranging from impala to elephant along its shoreline.
Experience the quintessential Okavango Delta sleeping on board a floating houseboat. Experience the rhythms of the Delta - the gentle lull of the river, the rise and fall of the sun, the haunting cry of the fish eagle and cheerful grunting of the hippo. Our boats are moored on the main channel of the Okavango river, near the village of Seronga, in an area that offers fantastic fishing, papyrus beds and charming palm islands.
With the main channel being deep and fast-flowing it is ideal for both the fighting Tiger fish and bream. Seventeen species of fish can be caught in the Panhandle area. Bird watching is also outstanding in the region's tall, shady, riverine forests and many resident and migratory birds can be seen along the river.
Although relaxing on board would satisfy many, excursions on tender boats are arranged to explore the Delta's countless water channels, with fishing and birdwatching as well as mokoro excursions, overnight camping trips, fishing and village tours.
We offer a number of self-catering houseboats on the Knysna Lagoon, south of Plettenburg Bay on thye Garden Route. They are your floating home away from home and have been outfitted to a high specification for a truly comfortable experience. These luxurious self-drive boats have everything you might need and are suitable for up to 4 adults or a family of 5.

CAMPO EXPANDIDO
"The world cannot be described without color, which is not a decorative element but a fundamental feature of the entire formal construction. It changes the perception of a place on the level of spatial and sensorial experience, redefining the borders between us and things, with its own poetics and its own function.
Through the design of color you can warm or cool a context. The impact of light and its effects produce a third 'phantom' color that makes the landscape vibrant and establishes a dialectic with the viewer, called upon to interpret the dynamic game of virtual depths."
These are the words of Raymundo Sesma, an outsider artist-designer of international stature who since 1980 has lived and worked in Mexico (his native land) and Milan (where he studied, at the Fine Arts Academy of Brera, and in the workshop of a master, Giorgio Upiglio, the engraver and printer of works by great artists, from De Chirico to Adami, Baj to Calder).
"Mexico made me sensitive to color, which is life. I have absorbed the language of pre-Columbian art, as well as that of Diego Rivera, José Clemente Orozco, David Alfaro Siqueiros, among others. When I was a boy my father, who was a pharmacist, gradually introduced me to architecture, from Frank Lloyd Wright to Walter Gropius, through books people gave him.
Later, I discovered and appreciated the unique creativity and craftsmanship of Italy, a question of 'genes' cultivated for centuries. My vision is the result of the sum of these stimuli. Filippo Tommaso Marinetti and Giacomo Balla theorized a Futurist reconstruction of the universe, with painting that would spread out to clothing, walls, furniture, architectural surfaces. And inside this open, distributed, boundless universe, nothing would remain totemic, untouchable, immutable. Because – to say it with Felix Guattari – art is a living material, rather than a category of thought, just as the theater is a campo expandido for the American art critic Rosalind Krauss."
Sesma has constructed his own personal 'campo' with a precise mode of formal abstraction of the creative level: "I am interested in finding a dialogue with the context," he explains, "expanding the range of action of painting, which leaves the canvas and covers three-dimensional surfaces. In the end, what is important to me is to transform architecture into an artistic object, through the deconstruction of the landscape; and, without separating art from life, to find the possibility of improving the face of everyday things."
Raymundo specializes in just this: with his studio Taller Advento he makes worldwide site-specific projects that take on the value of environmental sculpture, integrating his work with that of architects, technicians and other counterparts.
The more the context of intervention is depressed, the stronger the value of recovery and renewal of the architectural artifact (in&out), which takes on new meanings and identities. Above all in terms of sharing with the community, participation; and without the need for destruction, museums, galleries. In this poetic of 'colonization' of places, which is not camouflage, but extension, osmosis, inclusion, drawing as an expressive language and structure represents the basic device of the critical and constructive project.
"In my pieces the interaction between spaces and volumes, full and empty zones, perspectives and vanishing points, is fundamental. At times an 'empty sign' can generate infinite resonances, and often the outside becomes inside, and vice versa. Specific iconographic elements of a place can enter the project, which when taken out of context, distorted in their image and reinterpreted – I remember the totemic image of the industrial gasometer in the Bovisa area in Milan, where I worked with the students of the Polytechnic in 2006 – become something different, a new ornament seen in an evolutionary, not aesthetic sense."
Among his past exploits in Milan, we should also mention the exhibition at the Triennale in 2004, where the chromatic mega-backdrop with 3D effects 'lit up' the display of Mexican crafts objects in onyx, marble and ceramic; and, more recently, for the exhibition Grattanuvole, on a century of skyscrapers in Milan, at Fondazione Catella, the large Milan skyline, 8 x 3 meters: a tribute to a rising city.
Today Sesma is working on the renewal of the industrial area of San Vito at Calamandrana, in the province of Asti. And in Viggiano, Basilicata, for ENI his is concentrating on the landscape-architecture revitalization of COVA (Centro Olio Val d'Agri). His Miglio Artistico ushered in the first phase of the project, done together with Andreas Kipar/LAND Milano.
"A wall becomes an opportunity for rediscovery, an instrument in dialogue between two realities: the life inside the industrial plant, part of a productive cultural landscape, and the life outside, part of a contemplative natural landscape. The rediscovery is obviously left up to the observer, the active protagonist of the work: stimulated to move along it and decipher it not only with the gaze, but also physically, in space and time, precisely through the special perceptive 'syntax' of chromatic movement."

How did Q know about NK sanctions being lifted ahead?
Kind of a strange thing to predict, after the summit fell apart.
Come on y'all hit it with your best shot.
Are you serious? How did he know, the same way I knew. Kim was complaining about how tough the sanctions were and would not denuck at the meeting without some sanction relief. Adding more sanctions would be completely counter productive to negotiations.
I do not give Q credit for what is a common sense prediction for someone who is informed.
My apologies. The "troy" part of your screen name threw me off.
While I highly doubt the Q saga is time travel related, I will give you that our government has stuff that's far beyond what they show us.
Were you around to witness the Astr0 threads a few years back? What about the connected Weird California Sighting thread (still going strong, by the way).
You really should check them out if you haven't already. Just search Astr0 and Weird California sighting. your mind will be blown. I want to say they were created in 2014.
That actually looks pretty interesting, I must admit.
Because time travel is pretty way out there, brother. No offense. I just don't go in for that stuff.
How about this WISDOM from Secretary of State Mike Pompeo?
So you knew Trump would lift the sanctions, eh?
Nobody, not even the president or anyone in the room with Kim during the negotiations ever hinted that they would budge an inch.
Did we know Kim didn't like the sanctions? Of course. Who would?
Did we know they worked out a deal to ease them? No. Nobody could predict that, and nobody did, other than Q.

Guhring Stock Standards & Manufacture Specials to Support Covid-19 Challenge
Sunday 17 May 2020 2:48:39 PM54 ViewsClick here for download information on this product
Social media is currently 'alight' with UK engineers doing the country proud in meeting the 'Ventilator Challenge UK' demand to support the battle against the Coronavirus (Covid-19). Likewise, the supply chain is flying the flag for UK manufacturing with its response to keeping this critical infrastructure in motion.
As part of this supply chain, Guhring UK has stepped up to the plate with the critical supply of cutting tools in a way that is beyond compare. As a UK manufacturer with a factory floor space of over 60,000sq/ft, Guhring UK is holding in excess of £5m of standard cutting tool stock items. This stock is being directed to both F1, Aerospace and Medical OEM's involved in the 'Ventilator Challenge UK' as well as the subcontract supply chain. In fact, with the impact of the pandemic on imports and the wider supply chain, Guhring UK is even supplying its products to recognised cutting tool manufacturers and competitors that cannot meet the urgent demands of their customer base.
Despite Guhring UK holding a plentiful stock of thousands of standard cutting tool items for next day delivery, it is the UK manufacture and coating of special tools that are really 'saving the bacon' for pockets of the supply chain at such a critical time. One particular customer, Bellurgan Precision Engineering Ltd based in Ireland urgently required a 3-step special drill for the production of ventilator components, Guhring stepped up to the mark delivering within 48 hours. Within that 48-hour time frame, Guhring UK had liaised with Bellurgan, designed and created a tool drawing that was subsequently approved and then the race was on. The Guhring UK team immediately manufactured 16 identical tools at its Birmingham headquarters and coated all tools in-house with its Signum coating technology before delivery to Bellurgan Precision in Dundalk, County Louth, Ireland.
Guhring UK is one of the only UK cutting tool manufacturers that can achieve this as its design, development, manufacturing, coating and delivery departments are all working to continue 'service as normal' – even during a pandemic! So, if you are taking up your role as part of this critical infrastructure, Guhring UK is here to help you face the challenges that demand new and innovative cutting tool solutions. At times like these, you can put your confidence in a UK manufacturer like Guhring UK to service all of your cutting tool requirements.

The Truths We Hold
A New York Times bestseller From Vice President-Elect Kamala Harris, one of America's most inspiring political leaders, a book about the core truths that unite us, and the long struggle to discern what those truths are and how best to act upon them, in her own life and across the life of our country Vice President-Elect Kamala Harris's commitment to speaking truth is informed by her upbringing. The daughter of immigrants, she was raised in an Oakland, California community that cared deeply about social justice; her parents--an esteemed economist from Jamaica and an admired cancer researcher from India--met as activists in the civil rights movement when they were graduate students at Berkeley. Growing up, Harris herself never hid her passion for justice, and when she became a prosecutor out of law school, a deputy district attorney, she quickly established herself as one of the most innovative change agents in American law enforcement. She progressed rapidly to become the elected District Attorney for San Francisco, and then the chief law enforcement officer of the state of California as a whole. Known for bringing a voice to the voiceless, she took on the big banks during the foreclosure crisis, winning a historic settlement for California's working families. Her hallmarks were applying a holistic, data-driven approach to many of California's thorniest issues, always eschewing stale "tough on crime" rhetoric as presenting a series of false choices. Neither "tough" nor "soft" but smart on crime became her mantra. Being smart means learning the truths that can make us better as a community, and supporting those truths with all our might. That has been the pole star that guided Harris to a transformational career as the top law enforcement official in California, and it is guiding her now as a transformational United States Senator, grappling with an array of complex issues that affect her state, our country, and the world, from health care and the new economy to immigration, national security, the opioid crisis, and accelerating inequality. By reckoning with the big challenges we face together, drawing on the hard-won wisdom and insight from her own career and the work of those who have most inspired her, Kamala Harris offers in THE TRUTHS WE HOLD a master class in problem solving, in crisis management, and leadership in challenging times. Through the arc of her own life, on into the great work of our day, she communicates a vision of shared struggle, shared purpose, and shared values. In a book rich in many home truths, not least is that a relatively small number of people work very hard to convince a great many of us that we have less in common than we actually do, but it falls to us to look past them and get on with the good work of living our common truth. When we do, our shared effort will continue to sustain us and this great nation, now and in the years to come.
Genre : Biography & Autobiography
Author : Kamala Harris
Discover the incredible story of a young daughter of immigrants who would grow up to be the first woman, first Black person, and first South Asian American ever elected Vice President of the United States in this moving picture book biography of Kamala Harris. When Kamala Harris was young, she often accompanied her parents to civil rights marches—so many, in fact, that when her mother asked a frustrated Kamala what she wanted, the young girl responded with: "Freedom!" As Kamala grew from a small girl in Oakland to a senator running for president, it was this long-fostered belief in freedom and justice for all people that shaped her into the inspiring figure she is today. From fighting for the use of a soccer field in middle school to fighting for the people of her home state in Congress, Senator Harris used her voice to speak up for what she believed in and for those who were otherwise unheard. And now this dedication has led her all the way to being elected Vice President of the United States. Told in Nikki Grimes's stunning verse and featuring gorgeous illustrations by Laura Freeman, this picture book biography brings to life a story that shows all young people that the American dream can belong to all of us if we fight for one another.
