01:46 pm - Alien Abduction Is it strange that the first thing I thought of when I read this was that she _must_ have been abducted by aliens? I've been watching too much x files Greek team finds ancient skull that underwent surgery: reports Wed Mar 12, 10:28 AM ET SALONIKA, Greece (AFP) - Archaeologists have unearthed the skull of a young woman in northern Greece who is believed to have undergone head surgery in the third century, Greek news media reported Wednesday. ADVERTISEMENT A Greek team discovered the skeleton at an ancient cemetery in Veria, with the skull including an injury that led them to conclude the surgery had been performed. "We think that there was a complex surgical intervention that only an experienced doctor could have performed," said Ioannis Graikos, the head of the archaeological dig. "Medical treatment on the human body in the Roman Veria is part of a long tradition that began with Hippocrates up to Roman doctor Celsus and Galen," he said, cited in the Ta Nea newspaper. Hippocrates is believed to have lived in the fifth century BC, Celsus between 25 BC to 50 AD, and Galen from 131 to 201. The procedure believed to have been carried out was a trepanation, an ancient form of surgery to address head injuries or illnesses. In 2003, Greek archaeologists discovered a man's skull in a tomb on the Aegean island of Chios from the second century BC that had also undergone a trepanation. The patient was believed to have lived a number of years after the operation. Another trepanation was discovered in 2006 in Thrace on a young woman from the eighth century BC believed injured by a weapon. Current Location: home Current Mood: sore Tags: aliens

09:16 am - Daily Yoga/Strength Training Pose In order to both get over my fear of having my photo taken (and viewed) and to provide a valuable service to the public, I am going to start posting my favorite yoga poses/strength training moves in photo form with a brief explanation of how to perform them. I will try to start tomorrow, but may have to wait until Wednesday, because the one and only drejamoon is in town for tonight, and we will be drinking wine and eating pizza. disclaimer: I am not a medical or fitness professional so one should perform any of these moves at their own risk, preferably under the care/advisemnent of a physician or fitness professional.

08:51 am - Eastern Promises Saw this film at a friend's home on Saturday and LOVED IT. Viggo deserves an Oscar--it was so unlike any other role he's ever played--you forgot that it was an actor! Was very moving, fast paced, emotional, violent, emotionally violent, kept you guessing till the very end and the Russian language and accents were top notch.

09:30 am Sorry no posts lately.  I will post a full update later.  However, I did want to let all the Milwaukeeans know that J and I just purchased season tix for the Broadway series at the Marcus Center.  We did balcony, because we are poor AND tix were only $112 for the whole season.  We chose Sunday evening, because of price and having worked at the theatre, I know that Sunday nights are typically slow.  We got tix in the front row center of balcony!  https://oss.ticketmaster.com/html/pack_planlist.htmI?l=EN&CNTX=&team=mcpa1&selID=3 The season ROCKS this year, bringing 2 of my all time fav musicals (My Fair Lady and Avenue Q) and two that I am dying to see (Spamalot and The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee).  The Lion King is just icing.   .
