Random non-pathology and only peripherally related to pathology thread

Heh. Actually I shift further left every election cycle. Strange, I know. I feel like the republicans currently are squandering our future for the benefit of their close friends and corrupt allies. But I have more respect for McCain than I do for Hillary, so maybe I am shifting back rightward again. I dunno, I am the kind of person who thinks GWB is not a real conservative because he spends (or tacitly approves) more money than the democrats ever did, and without any real effort to counterbalance it.

I'm from AZ so I was initially for McCain, but Michelle Obama just called me at home a few hours ago and asked me to support her husband. I guess I'll have to go with Obama now.

I originally liked Edwards, although I have to admit I actually liked 2004 more-moderate Edwards than more-to-the-left 2008 Edwards... bad year to be a caucasian male running for the democratic nomination. After he dropped out, I was semi-undecided although I knew didn't want to sit through 4-8 more years of Clinton bashing, and kind of felt like she might not be electable overall... then Obama picked up steam and started looking electable. I think he'd be a good president to restore some bipartisanship to our legislative process...

Too much politics, tho... somebody change the subject.

I'm so bored right now. I wish I could leave my house, but unfortunately we are in the middle of an ice storm, so I'm stuck for now. Anyone else as bored as I am?

I am very bored as well. I am doing research right now, and I am working on making a phage library. It's been being a royal pain, and I finally traced my last problem down to bad ATP in my insert phosphorylation. So now, I have to wait on new, fresh ATP to show up... so other than mundane daily cell culture chores, there's not a lot going on... Yet, if I disappear from the lab, it'll anger my PI... hence, I read SDN.

No ice storm though, just some rain... Making a mental list of all the chores I wanted to do around the house before it gets unbearably hot...

This snow sucks...took me 35 minutes to drive 2 miles to come home.

Ahhh, that sucks. That is precisely why I want out of the northeast for residency. I hate snow. I hate driving in snow. I hate being cold. Plus, I'm a bad enough driver in good weather, in bad weather I'm downright dangerous.


I've watched 8 straight hours of tv (and eaten a whole lot of chinese food). If the weather doesn't get better soon, I might have a television induced seizure.

for the record: I LOVE SNOW!!!! miss it terribly, and to be honest with you - its a requirement for anywhere i'm considering doing residency. how bored do you think you'd get with the same ol' same ol' weather . . .?

My first snow was couple of years ago on New years' eve... I loved it!
It was so beautiful!!! Looked like cotton falling from the sky!

But... [sight] it should always melt in the next day...

There's nothing more annoying then wake up on Monday morning with 10 inches of snow and ice in front of the house.

And snow storms definetely suck!

I have to say, the weather in Houston was beautiful this weekend. Sunny, hovering in the 60's and 70's, just dead solid perfect spring weather... I mowed the yard on Saturday and grilled some kebabs (see recipe above) while sipping on a Sierra Nevada Anniversary Ale... got my early voting for the primary done as well... good times...

We get the Celebration, not the Deschuttes... the Texas alcoholic beverage code is unbelievably arcane, and limits to some extent the quality / variety of imports we get from out of state. The overall selection of beers available at large liqour stores and nicer grocery stores has greatly improved in the past 10 years, however...

Mmm I need to brew again before it gets hot...

Yeah, you would think with drive-thru liqour stores, the TABC (state alcohol reg board) would be groovy. They're not. We have a lame three-tiered distribution system, and laws that are unfavorable towards beer and breweries vs. very favorable to wineries (thanks to recent changes pushed through by wine enthusiasts)... we also have wierd rules that define ales and lagers based on alcohol %, require label changes, and a little old woman who sits in Austin and carefully measures sample bottles from incoming shipments... the tiniest amount of over-fill or under-fill can result in the impounding (and spoilage) of an entire shipment of imported beer

Mmmmm IPAs and Porters... I started out brewing Porters and Fat Tire clones... Now I've moved on to all-grain, and I have a house american pale ale that I really like, plus an imperial stout that I brewed but has been camping in a secondary for months - need to bottle it... and I'm out of my pale ale! We could definitely share some recipes... maybe on PM tho, unless there are enough peeps around to start a Pathology Homebrew Thread.

Hey, did somebody say homebrew...

This is a recipe I based my award-winning porter on, with just some minor modifications (bumped the chocolate to 8oz, adjust the water salts depending on your local H20, also I never remove the hops from the primary)... you can find this on the web at:

Black Butte Porter Clone
Classification: porter, Deschutes clone

Source: Guy Purdy ([email protected]), HBD Issue #2025, 5/1/96 After months of research and development, here is the oft requested and seldom (if ever) seen clone recipe for Deschutes Brewing's Black Butte Porter! The first attempt was VERY close, but lacked the roasty flavor overtone and sweetness of the Real Thing. I've adjusted the recipe accordingly, and here it is!
Ingredients:

• 6 oz. chocolate malt
• 6 oz. black patent malt
• 8 oz. honey malt
• 8 oz. 10L crystal malt
• 4 oz. toasted barley (buy it pre-toasted, or DIY @ 350 deg./10minutes)
• 8 oz. malto-dextrin
• 6 lbs. Light malt extract syrup
• 1 lb. Light dry malt extract
• 1 1/2 oz. Galena hops (60 min. bittering)
• 1 oz. Cascade hops (1/2 hour bittering/finishing)
• 1 oz. Tettnanger hops (5 min. aroma)
• Wyeast #1338 European Ale yeast
• 2 tsp. each Gypsum and Burton Water Salts (We have very soft H2O)

Procedure:

Add salts, gypsum to 1 1/2 gal. H2O. Steep grains for 1/2 hour @ 158 deg. Sparge with 1/2 gal. 170 deg. H2O, and strain out any loose grain. Mix in extract and malto-dextrin, and top off with H2O to desired optimum level for your brew pot. Bring to a boil, and boil for 10 minutes before adding Galena hops. After 30 more min., add Cascade hops. Last 5 min. add Tettnanger hops. Cool wort with hops in it. Remove hops at pitching temp., and pitch yeast. Ferment to completion according to your desired method.

Relax, don't worry, have a homebrew...

My pleasure... it is an absolutely great recipe... I brewed it initially to impress my girlfriend at the time, who was a big fan of it when she lived in the pacific northwest but couldn't obtain it in Texas... must have worked because we're married now.

Can you brew in Israel? Is there a homebrew supply store? I wonder if any of the stores here could ship stuff over there... Mmmm interesting...

One of my favorite commercial Imperial Stouts - Great Divide's Yeti! The oak-aged Yeti is particularly nice... I'm also a fan of Victory's Storm King, which thankfully is now available in Texas...

Anyone else have a beer *during* one of their interviews?

no, can't say i've had a beer *during* an interview . . . unless you count me drinking a beer while i interviewed potential grad students while being a grad student myself. that was fun.

yeah, i can get homebrew equipment here, up in tel aviv. it isn't easy as all the ingredients have to come from the states or europe, and the main problem is that these things only became available a short time ago and i'm out of here and back to new york in 3 months. and frankly it isn't worth the time or effort at this point. god, i'm in OB/Gyn right now and busy as hell - my god - this hospital delivers nearly 20,000 babies a year!!!!!!! that is not a typo. 20,000. over here is the best OB/Gyn training one could receive

anyway, the prof i'm teaching with did his training at the cleveland clinic and he really wants me to go there. so he's helping me arrange an elective there for september. i guess that has nothing to do with beer, but since i'm on the path forum i guess its relevant . . . at least its on my mind . . .

But this is the thread for irrelevance!

I'll tell the beer story sometime, but it was at a top tier institution with a well known pathologist, and definitely was one of the highlights of my entire interview season...

And you should definitely wait until you get back to try brewing... Third year played hell on my brewing schedule and it's never been the same since. Need to brew the APA and then move on to a kolsch (one style I've had trouble with in the past) or maybe an oktoberfest...

Well, if you want to read about McCain, read about his past and how he got to where he is today. He has had difficulties (Keating 5 for one) but there have been far more instances where he has proven himself to be one of the most thoughtful and honest people in public service. Not one without faults, of course. But read about his experiences in POW camp (and compare it to GWB's experience during the same time) and see what you think. I don't completely know what to think about him, to be honest, but when he speaks I tend to listen and respect what he says, whereas when I hear GWB and when I hear someone like Hilary Clinton speak I have far different reactions, most of which can be summarized with two smilies: and . But I wasn't trying to offend, sorry.

As far as brewing illegal liquor - I will not do that. Maybe I will establish a legal business!

Well the big meme about McCain these days, at least in liberal circles, is how most of his campaign leadership is composed of lobbyists, some of whom are still active with their firms (most vividly "lobbying congress by phone from the Straight Talk Express"). I suspect this arrangement mainly came about from necessity, after most of Mac's original campaign team deserted him last fall, but it doesn't look great, even if he does have a solid anti-lobbyist voting record in the Senate.

In any case, McCain vs. Obama should be a pretty solid contest. Either one will be leaps and bound better than the jackass we have to put up with for the rest of 2008.

 

[yaah]

Yeah, what bothers me about McCain is the lobbyist-advisor thing, as well as his cozying up to the fanatical wing of the party. If he keeps doing it he will lose my vote, probably. I suspect though that it is hard to run any sort of national campaign (where you have to appeal to everyone) without getting input from lobbyists. Which is better, input from lobbyists or input from tired cliched political hacks like Karl Rove or James Carville? I think I'd take the lobbyists - less spin. I doubt he is beholden to the lobbyists though - if he wins the presidency he doesn't have to really listen to anybody, and I suspect he would revert to previous McCain, who gets along better with and works better with Russ Feingold than he does with Tom Delay.

I really want to go to the Greek Islands, but I'll have to use loan money to do so, so I'm still debating whether or not I should go.

I have never been on a vacation before, so I'm trying to justify the expense by saying I deserve it. But I have a decent amount of credit card debt, and no furniture for my new place, so I should probably spend the money more responsibly.

Probably depends on your state medical board regs... I also don't know what moonlighters do for malpractice since I think most training programs only cover work you do within the program.

In cases where you are moonlighting, you have to take out your own malpractice. Your program's insurance usually doesn't cover you.

Does one even need a full medical license for cosmetic botox injecting?
Could you take a course, get a certificate, use cert to get malpractice insurance and voila! open up $hop.

 

[Path or bust]

So botox is purified neurotoxin that, although not scheduled, still carries potential lethal harm. According to the FDA, it is possible for the toxin to travel beyond it's intended location. So say this muscle paralyzer reaches the posterior cricoarytenoids (only abductors of the vocal cords), you potentially can kill the patient if you aren't properly trained to put in an airway. Of course that is worse case scenario, but others exist too (anaphylaxis). That being said, giving botox injections is still the "practice of medicine" and you would need a medical license for this procedure. But I wouldn't put it past anyone to set up some kind of certificate thing for non MDs. However if you are an MD there really is no stopping you. Your medical license does not have limitations, but you put yourself at risk when you practice outside your expertise. Still a good money maker and people will pay you cold hard cash for it.= (2-3 thousand bucks a pop) and will refuse to pay their 80 dollar copay. Ah our society and its obsession with beauty.

I don't care how crazy clinton and McCain are. I just have two issues about obama that I couldn't even think about he is the next president.
first, his name, we killed osama (terrist) and hussein (former president of iraq). Now our new president is going to be xxx hussein Ob(s)ama?

Secondly, man, I just keep thinking about the movie"Omen" when I image obama will be the next president. Sounds crazy, isn't it?

Edited. Please see this link and reference the quote below by SeenTheLight if you are curious as to how I responded.

On a completely different note, and one I didn't address previously before I was criticized for saying something "inappropriate," I would like to call into question the logic (or lack therof) of the above post. This is the kind of thinking that reminds me why our current president still enjoys an "approval rating" hovering somewhere in the 20-40% range, instead of 0%, where it belongs.
