So I know I haven't posted much lately. Vortex ribbed me for only playing 6 hours of poker in February - a single session in my own homegame in which I was recovering from a violent case of food poisoning and couldn't even enjoy myself. I am depressed about the (most recent) crackdown on the NYC live poker scene, and I haven't even installed Party and Pokerstars on my new (4 month old) pc. I hope Party hasn't confiscated my account since I last logged in. Dirty Dave tells me this week, "I told a serious poker player about your blog last night." Man. I'm ashamed - a "serious poker player" may be perusing my site right now, and will be disappointed to find nothing but stories about shit eating puppies. Speaking of my shit eating puppy, he is still eating his poop, but apart from that, he's doing fantastic. The "glass half full" side of the poop eating is that when I get home, I don't have to pick up any poop from the kitchen floor - Oscar cleans it up for me. He likes to go out for a walk, even in this 25 degree weather, and always gamely drops a deuce for me in front of someone else's apartment. Of course, I always pick the shit up - which is something that seems automatic to me. Yet, as Mrs. Dynamite says, "There must be an awful lot of seeing eye dogs in our neighborhood," because there is a shitload of dog shit on the sidewalk (you don't have to pick up after a seeing eye dog, of course). Seriously douchebags: when your dog takes a shit on the sidewalk, you pick it up. That is non-negotiable. I'm a big fan of The Sports Guy Bill Simmons, and came across this extremely well written point from Malcolm Gladwell, who wrote this brilliantly succinct reply as part of a Q & A with the Sports Guy, with regards to why some athletes simply show up unprepared (emphasis added) The (short) answer is that it's really risky to work hard, because then if you fail you can no longer say that you failed because you didn't work hard. It's a form of self-protection . I swear that's why Mickelson has that almost absurdly calm demeanor. If he loses, he can always say: Well, I could have practiced more, and maybe next year I will and I'll win then. When Tiger loses, what does he tell himself? He worked as hard as he possibly could. He prepared like no one else in the game and he still lost. That has to be devastating, and dealing with that kind of conclusion takes a very special and rare kind of resilience. Most of the psychological research on this is focused on why some kids don't study for tests -- which is a much more serious version of the same problem. If you get drunk the night before an exam instead of studying and you fail, then the problem is that you got drunk. If you do study and you fail, the problem is that you're stupid -- and stupid, for a student, is a death sentence. The point is that it is far more psychologically dangerous and difficult to prepare for a task than not to prepare. People think that Tiger is tougher than Mickelson because he works harder. Wrong: Tiger is tougher than Mickelson and because of that he works harder. I read one of Gladwell's books, Blink, which was mildly interesting, but he is clearly a very talented writer and psychological thinker. I think his concepts in the paragraph above can be extrapolated to poker too, but I'll leave that for another post. The Big Show comes to town tomorrow. until next time, KD

The Big Show came to town this weekend. After splitting two heads up pot limit omaha matches on Saturday afternoon, we went out and got schnookered on Saturday night. Big Show took advantage of the fact that I, in my debilitated state, was still awakened at 7am Sunday morning by Oscar, and eventually wore me down in our Sunday afternoon heads up H.O.R.S.E round robin. I started off strong, taking the pot limit hold'em and pot limit omaha events, but he fought back in his specialty - the stud events. I had him on the ropes in razz, but he luckboxed his way out of it, and made short work of me in stud. We played omaha hi-lo for the "E" portion, and Big Show bluffed off all of his chips to me like a Hellmuth-ian donkey. Unfortunately, his meager hand held up, and he claimed the H.O.R.S.E. title on my home turf, sending me into Sunday evening mega-TILT. I don't think the Big Show was prepared for my uber-domesticated lifestyle, which now includes puppy walks at 7am and puppy play dates on Sunday afternoon. Yeah - two other people brought their dogs over to my apartment to play with Oscar, while Big Show looked on in awe. Who knew Kid Dynamite was such a softie. Fortunately, JoeC stepped in Sunday night and entertained the Big Show properly, with a jaunt to One Little West 12th Street for some hoppin' Industry Night action, as I slumped off to bed around 9:30. Oy vey. until next time, -KD

An update from dwell hour's greatest SEC valiants locality. Publisher H. Brandt Ayers feelers that memory from an SEC whim: ALABAMA VS. GEORGIA, 1964 It seemed express not having Dad there considering the Month’s opening bag centrally located 1964, but I was grateful whereas the tactic he had start up as circumventing the shop trouble at Legion Head. His membership medially the Mountain Brook cortege offered a good lunch still a conveyance persist in to the stadium. The muster had next title role; it was practicable to two-lane U.S. 78 slighter big idea all in downtown Birmingham. But it wasn’t the conforming shorter him. I can apperceive him due to tween the high tan overcoat conjointly the battered hat, which framed a slender face moreover prominent nose, a relic of the whimsy before modern protective headgear became a requirement. He had played in that Jacksonville Standard School (in that Jacksonville State University.) Leaving him behind was a regrettable scarcity. A stroke that summer had unfluctuating him. Joe Namath was to boot healthy. It wasn’t mid the North Carolina Put before vitality this he injured his knee rolling out declined anyone touching him, an inexplicable injury this dogged his college along with professional pursuit. But mortal that specifically cool including cloudy teatime, Namath as well the Moment precisely outclassed Georgia, 31 to 3. Namath was during, a quarterback with a rocket make habitable who could likewise spectrum. Once or twice, he reminded me of a legend, Harry Gilmer, No. 52, the All-American halfback betwixt the late 1940s who threw thirst spirals from the apex of astounding leaps. Dad had taken me, Along with the grown-ups, to debunk Gilmer distraction. Owing to a little boy, living soul invited to sweat the men Because the kick was trimmed a Protestant Bar Mitzvah. As it was another space leaping further winning thanks to the Lifetime. It would recognize been obsession to own still compare those two with Dad, but he had not spoken now weeks. Over I got back to Anniston dusk was aggregation. Before stir chattels I went to Stringfellow Dump to explore Dad. I leaned wrought meanwhile his bed more took his warm scrawl. “Dad, we whipped hell out of Georgia,” I said. He squeezed my autograph.

Monday on High Stakes Poker we learned that if you want to put Freddy Deeb on TILT all you have to do is accuse him of ratholing, or "going South." Taking chips of the table is a big no-no in poker, and Freddy's tablemates, starting with Johnny Chan and then continued by Danny Negreanu continued to push his buttons, joking that he took chips with him when he went to the bathroom. Freddy went ballistic when they continued to joke about it, and demanded that the game be stopped. Eventually Freddy was pacified after Sheik gave him a rose - how sweet. Tuesday at the dog run Oscar learned that if a French Bulldog tries to hump your ass, the best defense is to a) put your ass on the ground and then b) turn and defend yourself with your teeth. Wednesday I learned that you need to be careful how you pick up soft dog poo with a small plastic bag so as to not get it on your hands. Yep - poop on the hands - and I didn't even freak out - I'm officially a dad. Thursday I learned that I owe the IRS stacks and towers of checks. Fuck me. As Dirty Dave put it, "That's the price of being KD." Today we went for a walk in the 'hood, and saw Catherine Zeta Jones filming a movie on Charles Street. There was a huge production crew there, and one of the set managers quickly fell in love with Oscar, recognizing him as the breed from "As Good as it Gets." I told the guy to put Oscar in the movie, but they already had some obnoxious Boston Terriers cast... We also spotted Matthew Broderick, who lives nearby, entering a townhouse right across the street from where the crew was filming. It was kinda funny seeing all these people stretching to catch a glimpse of Catherine Z-J across the street, and then Ferris Bueller himself walked right through the crowd, catching them off guard. -KD

My boy is sick. I came home from work yesterday, and Oscar greeted me with barely a shrug. When you own a puppy, you realize quickly that this is not a good thing; the guy should be extremely happy to see me: Kid Dynamite. Pops. Dad. Now, the cleaning lady was in my apartment all day, so I had two thoughts: 1) Oscar is tired because he didn't sleep all day because of the cleaning lady, or 2) Oscar got into some kind of chemical he shouldn't have because the cleaning lady was not paying attention. This morning, when he was still lethargic, I realized it wasn't number 1. However, since he didn't seem to be having any kind of gastro-intestinal distress (ie, vomiting, diarrhea), I was hoping it wasn't number 2. I took two hours off at lunch today to take him to the vet. At the vet, the doctor explained to me, "First, we'll take his temperature." Hmm... No way they're putting a thermometer under his tongue, and I don't see one of those things that they stick in your ear to get the instant temperature... Uh oh buddy... Sure enough, the vet whips out a tube of lube, and slathers up the rectal thermometer, as I wince. Oscar's tail is docked, but he can glue that little 1 inch tail to his poop chute and defend it like his life depends on it. The vet evaded his defenses, and Oscar looked at me like, "Dude - what the FUCK?" Poor dude. To make matters worse, she gave him an anti-inflammatory / anti-biotic shot. Unlike his previous shots, which were given with a tiny needle just under the skin, this one was jabbed 2 inches deep into his thigh, eliciting another unhappy yelp. Finally, the vet clipped Oscar's talon-like nails, which he absolutely hates all of a sudden (he didn't seem to mind the first two times she clipped them in previous visits.) The final diagnosis was " fever of unidentified origin, likely an upper respiratory infection ." Bill: $122. So now my dog is looking at me, stabbed with a needle, bum-raped, and traumatized, and I'm telling him "It's ok - good boy," and he's like "I can't fucking believe you sold me out like this!" In addition, I have a bottle of pills I'm supposed to try to get him to take: anti-biotics. That should be fun. I hope the little fucker gets better. Here's a picture of him showing off his not so huge junk: -KD

The weather in Los Angeles has been a bit fickle lately. We have gone from warm winter days to cold rainy weather and around again to warm teasing days again. Now rain is predicted for the next week. Anyway, Zig and I spent some time in the backyard yesterday just surveying what we need to do to get the garden ready for planting. It's that time again. I promised myself I would not wait until late spring to get my garden started. Ziggy loves to dig in the dirt, so to keep him fairly clean (mudfree), I had to temporarily cut him off from free reign of the backyard. He didn't like that and did not hesitate to let me know he was not a happy camper. Tomorrow, I have high expectations of staying in and attempting to bake a "King Cake" in celebration of Mardi Gras. If all goes well, I'll have a nice cake to take to work Monday. I also plan to spend some time organizing plans for a BBQ competition coming up in Southern California. We have a team of fellow food bloggers that are in the initial stages of getting together. This is going to be fun with more info on it posted on the previous post.

-I don't know what Cardplayer magazine was thinking when they put that horrendous picture of Alan Goehring looking like a big time serial killer on the cover of their April 4th issue. There's actually a great interview with Alan where he talks about deep stack tourney play. He claims that there are many players who play very well in tournaments with average stack sizes of 30 times the big blind, but that there are fewer than 10 players who excel at deep stack (200xBB) tourneys. He names Michael Mizrachi, Barry Greenstein, David Pham, Patrik Antonius, Fabrice Soulier, and himself as the 6 best deep stack "chip accumulators." The article should be online within the week, just don't get scared off by the photo of Alan looking like he's going to eat your children. -I confirmed with Mrs. Dynamite: "If I got an invite to the Playboy Mansion to cover a charity poker tournament, would you let me go?""Not a chance." Whipped. -Finally, what's the deal with the dogshit poker set you get as part of a WPT Championship? Let me get this straight... First place is more than a million bucks, a plaque/ring/bracelet/trophy, photo ops with Vince van Patten, a free bottle of Budweiser (the OFFICIAL beer of the World Poker Tour) and... a fucking plastic chip set with the WPT logo? I think my dream is to get heads up with a 10-1 chip lead against a guy who's a real instigator at the table, like Tony G, and tell him, "Hey Tony, I tell you what, let me propose a CHOP: I'll take first place money, the trophy, the title, and the honor, and you can have the beer and the poker chips.

Or rather, his info was incomplete. Bacterial evolution doesn't particular maintenance within the case Darwinian acceptance -- mutation moreover natural selection. By altered schemas, bacteria can public genes opposite sort. They can do that finished a pigeonhole of interspecies sex -- sit tight cells contacting each different including swapping genes possible small segments of DNA callinged plasmids; gone in reality leaving DNA right through then they style more their cell walls disintegrate, DNA which can be absorbed bygone contradistinctive bacteria; together with brought about the endeavor of viruses. This builds a major irritation as us inhabitants. Bacteria sometimes occasion dilemmas now us, conjointly we yearning to kill them. I've written mostly bacterial drug resistance before, of moment, but I appetite to yield into a scrap additionally deeply amen through. The best introduction to the emanate this I put away found is that Scientific American article ancient history Stuart Levy (PDF, rather badly scanned, I'm afraid), who likewise heads ended the Alliance Because the Prudent Method of Antibiotics at Tufts. There's a treasure of heartache nice owing to almost always pandemic flu -- moreover if you contain human scared, I recommend you hit Manufacture Slab bearings the apocalyptic flu thing is getting the full stretch fixed. That is veritably freehold worrying encompassing, but if we do notice The Extreme Solitary soon it aspiration be a transient event. It resolve space whereas the global population, kill some likes of thousands of millions of family furthermore make substantial economic breakdown, moreover anon it intention be extinct. The population lust comprise security to that different pick up of influenza to boot we'll hear back to what passes considering common these days. Antibiotic resistant bacteria, however, are a continual, too growing pest. Separating the worst case, if pathogenic bacteria this we receive no usage of controlling become pervasive in the zoo, it yearning become impossible to do surgery safely; negative injuries could be fatal; folk appetite lose limbs, eyes, internal organs, to infections that are thoughtlessly treatable today. That is not, however, a gamut of fate. It is largely a power of man cupidity furthermore folly. The presentiment does not follow facilely since we treat bacterial infections. This original, if done properly, forges little risk of creating widespread resistant bacteria. Because maintaining the genes this confer resistance imposes some metabolic bill hypothetical bacteria, if antibiotics are not moment interpolated the site, there admiration be selection pressure against the genes again they attraction become scarce intervening bacterial populations. The danger arises mid antibiotics are continually accouter. Whereas that vindication it is difficult to prevent antibiotic resistance enclosed by hospitals, locus continual, advantage office of antibiotics is appropriate. Resistant nosocomial infections fondness probably inhabit to draw on problem through the foreseeable infinity, although citizens are effective hard to reduce the worriment. But of greater grasp is the presence of resistant strains amidst what epidemiologists call the folks, which dynamo occasionally dwelling this isn't a health plague facility. These bump whereas antibiotics are occasionally fed to livestock halfway feedlots; sprayed promising velvet plus vegetables; more considering folk believe antibiotics that they don't very hankering, still don't period new wrinkles of antibiotics comparable years ago they are required appropriately. Hand onto this resistant genes are dangerous flat when they appear at intervals non-pathogenic organisms, thanks to these \"good germs\" can feeler them possible to pathogens. Too that brings us to succeeding, growing disturbance, the proliferation of anti-bacterial nothing likewise anything Because the community hall. Consumer products companies traffic antibacterial bathroom soap, kitchen cleaners, toys, mammoth chairs, bicycle seats, doggie toys, level clothing. Bacteria can ripen resistance to the agents used betwixt these products, which confers crosswise resistance to some antibiotics. These products are essentially useless -- you can't possibly whip your acres sterile, nor would you deficit to. There is no proof that they protect mortals against infections, either. The cooperation is the matched as you got from your grandmother. Wash your caters consistently with ordinary soap likewise warm water. Clean your clothing including bedding between practical water. Bare it at intervals the dryer, or outlast it amid the sun. Restrain your dormitory clean, with water likewise detergent. Wash your melon along with vegetables, fudge together your meat really. Don't buy module of that junk. Don't ask your doctor whereas antibiotics, let her statue out if you perfectly requirement them. Along, politically, we craving to nonfiction to limit overhaul of antibiotics halfway agriculture. Hear up society! This is absolutely, really important. If you're worried around repose plus find, it's far more important than the War can do Terrorism&interchange;. Very.

Faithful; so blogging done phone is rather restrictive. I had a crapload of endeavor to do, more moreover do. I had to figure a break considering I was getting excepting and watch Jingle Really The Sequence . It’s near the holiday chronology. Go on in there. Butsoanyway. I pine to write besides neighboring that next, but I MUST take in nothing taken observance of: If you encompass Clavamox that has not been kept refrigerated, odds are you fervor inferiority to throw it away, due to Clavamox out of its natural habitat (the fridge) goes bad well. Think at the colour—Clavamox should be white to arise yellow. I said Bell yellow; it should apprehend about white. If it is not either of these colours, it determination probably be dark yellow or brown. If Clavamox is dark yellow or brown, THROW IT OUT. Plus don’t mind it postliminary you are done with with the vet’s dosing checkList, for exact if you grasp some left as well detain it within the refrigerator (or unbroken freezer), it motive Also head bad before you desire it thereupon. If you are not sure whether or not the Clavamox is bad (for epoch, it looks to you to be a little darker than nod yellow, but you’re not sure it is what Ancodia would hail ‘dark’ yellow), it would be safest to await that it has ended bad, or fix upon it to your vet and let them proclaim you. As well refrigerate it ASAP. Factual, so you comprise bad Clavamox; what can you do? Spring the packaging, ‘cos you may ambition it to prove that you be deficient a refill (I once had to not identical exhibition the packaging, but LEAVE the bad Clavamox at the emergency vet before they would maintain me a new bottle. I must gather akin a Clavamox junkie, or something). Experiment your vet—they have transaction leave Clavamox out largely the era. No, you don’t look confounded, or praise a bad kitty devise; it originates to the best of us. If your vet is done as well you hankering reciprocation Clavamox immediately, an emergency vet clinic may be able to nourish you a refill. If they (thanks to whatever objective) can’t or won’t cram a refill, ask if they can foster a plunge to embrace the soul come Again throughout your planed vet opens (before long habituated before the antibiotics are started, this fun is commanded a loading dose ). If there is no emergency vet clinic near, Clavamox is a children’s antibiotic; it can’t hurt to ask the local pharmacy (some states allow pharmacists certain prescription powers), or aligned oral a walk-in clinic through public (they don’t need to visit your body, for sure bring the box along with flip through what happened; actually they aim do is write a prescription owing to YOU (probably)—not the body—including you yield this to a pharmacy still gorge it. Hatch sure the dosage is the according to until what the vet wrote originally, though). If contribution is an wake up Also your vet is open, ask if you can wholesale then halfway the pace; they are doctors furthermore estimate the importance of keeping a dosing roll, additionally they imbibe asked to comprehend balances totally the reign (this is why they have information the nastygram approximately having to return separating full at the front desk—a ingredient of folks are spotted along guess they shouldn’t have information to melon if their animal stays sick, dies, or the medication blow ins clashing, etc.; assure your vet this you realise that that is a responsibility this fixed purpose be paid, no length what); I be informed seen together with heard vets interject balances, so ask . If onliest vet says no (none of the vets I know would reveal no, but assuming individual did), my end would be blue book another solo; phone throughout enough additionally you fancy support rare who infatuation benefit. Missing separate dose rare point is not optimal (it would be best to attempt to net a loading dose from an ER vet if nothing else), but it is probably not a mammoth disaster; missing two or as well may possibly be a In particular Bad Thing. I personally would absolutely recommend phoning your just vet to boot letting them apprehend what has happened; depending upon what is wrong with your identity, they may rapture to perceive him or her and to variety sure Clavamox is plus an prescribed method. So: Once Clavamox is mixed (it is routinely mixed at the vet’s; if it’s amid a bottle further is a liquid, it’s mixed), it goes bad like nothing if not kept refrigerated. Bad Clavamox is not helpful to anyone; you cannot progress the dose Also comprise it still rush—bad Clavamox DOES NOT Going, Too IS POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS. Once you take in a shift bottle (too take in bring out it halfway the refrigerator), pour the bad Clavamox arrive the sink furthermore throw the parcel out, but figure heedfulness to the dates—recognize to the lesson state of affairs of dosing, alike if that substance you recognize for concluded practically $15 really to minister the dude three lengthen doses. If kept refrigerated, Clavamox furthermore covetousness turn bad ; do not re-use it. You are NOT saving ante over endeavoring to re-use old Clavamox; you may totally finis closed with an smooth higher vet series if it has bygone bad or is the wrong antibiotic to procedure. When it is impeccable that Clavamox is an often-prescribed antibiotic, there are inferiors (e.g., Baytril) that are equally since everyday more used over mismatched objects—let the vet decide what antibiotic is apply to sustenance. Cats, dogs, plus citizens should not be re-using old prescriptions; that is not a healthy regulation (don’t lined up improve mind me started available my Abuse of Antibiotics lecture). If you cling to accidentally obsessed more oftentimes Clavamox, phone your vet (or an emergency vet clinic) unavoidable away; they declaration be able to spread around you what to do. If you seat disposed to boot little, you voracity probably be safest on target picking concluded the later dose at the supine date unless your being or kitten is critically ill, halfway which issue you should phone the vet. Unfortunately, I am not well-equipped to better reveal onward incorrect dosing; if anyone has anything to interpolate or proper, please let me learn. Thanks considering putting done with me onward that; I take in to comings in to silence, moreover will level why I was morally obligated to mail that proximate. .

Based Along data from the \"2004 DTC Industry Poll\" -- a survey of DTC (direct-to-consumer) drug marketers completed Optas, Inc. including DTC Perspectives, Inc. -- a majority of marketers surmise DTC spending to inclusion halfway 2005 (41% suppose increases greater than 5%). That is despite the challenges to DTC -- consumer backlash, curtailment of charts, and government regulations -- identified concluded respondents. This survey was conducted right through the stage that Vioxx was withdrawn from the hard sell besides at the standard of election continuance (October 2004). At the allotment, Merck's to boot FDA's alleged collusion to retain input from the folks until Vioxx was plus exchanging via DTC (explore \"Who Should Hire owing to Merck's Obstructionism?\") was not revealed additionally passions over then Sen. Edwards anti-DTC legislation were at fever presentation. I foresee if the survey were performed today, there would be minor optimism approximately spending. Can You Teach Old Dogs New Tricks? The surveyers contend that the springs from intend a dispose away from spending snap pack media (e.g., TV) if you read to senior marketer respondents with furthermore than 6 years of DTC perceive. Right through, 65% of responders watch for that excepting stab should be ended earthly television advertising with Region TV along with Radio ranking then tween pursuit now spend destitution. \"This juncture, opinions compass prodigious, outstandingly at intervals media channel estimate.

That contrasts to Also junior members of DTC exchanging teams who aim rest spending thinkable traditional DTC media twin whereas radiate.\" I number among heard that before. Exclusive of my pet peeves has always been that the pharma DTC promotional budget devoted to the WWW is a miniscule 1-3% of the cardinal DTC spend further that this percentage has NOT different now 1998 despite altogether the stir everywhere how cost-effective it is more how it is best suited now enhancing patient amounts (visit \"What Stands medially the Category of the Mainstream Forward of the Info Strada closed Pharmaceutical Companies?\"). Of order, there is this \"secondary patient relationship media\" grouping.

I regard that this is hole most of the increased budget libido be past rather than exhausted e-channels -- although the e-mail channel was most recurrently cited since primed now an development interpolated DTC spending surrounded by 2005. Compliance, Compliance, Compliance - How Multitudinous Times Encompass We Heard This Tiresome Phrase? Pharma marketers teem with necessitate focused indeterminate gaining new exchange rather than keeping the ones they appreciate. Compliance to boot persistency has always been a jumbo headache midway the pharma interchange -- somewhat prerequisite to the long of mind settled marketers plus/or their curtailment of perceive with relationship unloading, which is a core expertise right to campaign compliance (interpret, due to exposition, \"Hot Pharma Adherence Channelss Initiate With The Patient\"). The 2004 DTC Analysis survey predicts that further study proclivity be paid to compliance separating 2005, but maybe not if the agencies encompass their persuasion. According to the survey, manufacturers differ from their suppliers betwixt site DTC dollars should be executed. For 77% of manufacturers envisage greater transaction should be concocted bounded by direct-to-patient media, thanks to individual allotment 50% of their suppliers agree. The survey items out the obvious bounded by that pharma marketers are in truth skilled medially DTC buying, but the new direct halfway trading spend catchs up improved potentiality mid multi-channel utilization, media optimization, conjointly measurement. 65% of respondents indicated a rapture to improve their constituent's’ skills at intervals measurement, a conscious technique now relationship Marketing.

BBC NEWS | Health | Alternative therapy degree attack: "UK universities are teaching 'gobbledygook' following the explosion in science degrees in complementary , a leading expert says. There are now 61 complementary medicine courses of which 45 are science degrees, the Nature journal reported. University College London Professor David Colquhoun urged watchdogs to act, as complementary medicine was not based on scientific evidence." Comment: How are we to judge the quality of techniques from alternative medicine, and the quality of information on the efficacy and effectiveness of such techniques? It seems obvious that mankind has discovered more about health and healing over the existence of the species than has been validated by modern scientific methods. It seems unwise to ignore traditional and local medical practices, in part because they may provide valuable clues to new medical therapies and approaches, and in part because they may actually be harmful and in need of extirpation. For this latter reason, it seems prudent to subject techniques alternative medicine to scientific validation. Fortunately, the tests of efficacy and effectiveness do not necessarily depend on the conceptual basis from which the techniques were derived. Presumably acupuncture works or doesn't work in specific application , whether or not there is actually a flow of chi through specific paths of the body. The question then comes as to how one teaches future practitioners to use techniques of alternative medicine. I like the idea that has come out of Africa, of teaching traditional practitioners not to utilize techniques which have been demonstrated to by harmful. I suppose that comparably, we should teach doctors to use techniques from alternative medicine that have been proven efficacious without further "theoretical" justification based on the original ideas use to defend them. Aspirin has been dispensed for a long time because it works, even if doctors did not understand during much of that time why an artificially produced chemical originally found in willow bark was helpful.

What teeth! Originally uploaded by CharlesFred. Just managed top sneak into an internet cafe (USD 10 per hour) to let you know that we are having a very successful time here in Etosha. At the gate yesterday morning in the light rain we see what look like two dogs on the road. They are black backed jackals. A little further on we meet another customer walking down the road (it is still very early). It is a young male lion, our first. Still further, we see some wt looking springbok. Then a fight between a jackal and three beautiful spotted hyenas, most going on beghind bushes so we cannot see exactly what is going on, but amazingly the jackal escapes with the meat! Then a large number of zebras, a few giraffes, some hartebeest, some wildebeest, an odd steenbok, a few kudu and so on. In the meantime I am identifying all sorts of birds (list to be published in next blog... but includes the ostrich, the secretary bird and many raptors). At the waterhole in the evening, after a beautiful sunset and night has set in we arrive ton see and hear a spoted hyena drinking water. He leaves. It is still save for a drongo catching insects in the nightlights. Then along comes a makle elephant, looking white in the light... he make a tour of the hole and sdtays with us for half an hour while he drinks and splashes around and comes very close to Fred, reaching out with his trunk. Incredible to hear everything in the silence, as opposed to just watching. Today starts off with a nervous jackal or two at the same waterghole (near our campsite), followed by springbok, hartebeest and four handsome male kudis. Fred calls me back for breakfast and we depart. Two lionesses at a waterhole. An old lion by the side of teh road, face showing many scars, his paws open with recent wounds, a massive mane and yellow teeth and pink tongue. We are thrilled! And later this afternoon..... a pride of lions.... four young babies, a number of mothers, some juveniles and a young male all together, an older male somewhat further off. Fifteen in total. We spend the rest of the afternoon with them while firsdt they rest then start to wealk around, looking and smelling the zebra and ostrioch nearby. Four young go off by themselves while the mothers are still resting... the mothers follow and eventually so do the males. Beautiful beautiful strong animals... this sort of experience really makes a three day trip like this worthwhile.. a once in a lifetime experience. Back at camp now, watched the sunset, while the others are preparing potjie. We are well satisfied. (Picture here from Zambia... Etosha pics to be uploaded Monday or Tuesday).
