U.S. readers who are befuddled with the lack of a common measuring stick for global per capita consumption can go here to an Food and Agricultural Organization site. This web page is the only site I found to compare fruit and vegetable consumption patterns between countries.
From there readers can download country by country, commodity-specific per capita consumption figures. And, not surprisingly, the FAO database allows viewers to request the information in terms of either kilograms/per capita/year or g/capita/day.
There they go again, with the kilograms and grams; it's almost like the rest of the world is waiting for us to adopt the metric system. I'll give you my 12-inch ruler when you take it from my cold, dead hands.

Living the dream, I've traveled the major wine regions of the world, met incredibly interesting people, tasted fine wine and food and been paid to do it. The journey has been quite a nice ride. Given the infinite amount of science, history and geography, the subject of wine and food and the influence they have on each is other is quite complicated. Blend in the romance of music, art, and philosophies of the various countries and cultures, and it becomes even more fascinating as well as fulfilling. Virtually incorporating a way of living in harmony with nature if you will. Our purpose is to share these truths and give the knowledge that wine is a food beverage and when consumed in moderation, can elevate one's quality of life. The mysteries all unfold before your eyes and the answer lies in the fruit of the vine. We're all here for a brief interlude, enjoy your time under the sun and live abundantly. Hope to see you soon.
Favorite Varietals: If I was a grape, it would be Petite Sirah, thick skinned, with intense fruit flavors and complexities that mature and develop gracefully with age.

Blackhawks' Friday parade starts at 10:30 a.m. from United Center
BY FRAN SPIELMAN City Hall Reporter email@example.com June 25, 2013 7:18AM

Mayor Rahm Emanuel's office says announced Friday's victory parade celebrating the Blackhawks' second Stanley Cup championship in four years will step off about 10:30 a.m. from the United Center.
The event will wind up at 11:00 a.m. with a rally in Hutchinson Field in Grant Park, according to a release issued Wednesday by the mayor's office.
Double-decker buses carrying team and front-office personnel will ride to the rally, according the mayor. The "official parade route," where fans can glimpse players and the cup, starts at Des Plaines and Washington and will stretch east to Wabash.
On Tuesday, Emanuel said Friday's victory parade will give everyone a chance to "feel like 'Ferris Bueller's Day Off.' "
Friday was chosen once again in hopes that out-of-town fans might spend the weekend in Chicago while suburban fans make a day of it, generating business for downtown restaurants and bars.
"Everybody can have Friday to feel like a 'Ferris Bueller's Day Off' for the entire city," the mayor said.
Emanuel was asked whether the cost of policing and logistics for a downtown party that draws millions would guide the city's planning. He sloughed off the question, saying simply, think of the alternative if the Hawks had not re-captured the Cup.
"They went 24 games without a loss … to start the season. And then to the [playoffs.] Go back when they were playing Detroit and they were down 3-1. ... It's an incredible story of what happened — not just in the season but in the playoffs. And in that last game, everybody was high-fiving because we tied the game. Did anybody think we'd end up as champions within a breath?" the mayor said.
"And so, it was an incredible game and we're gonna celebrate it. And we're gonna celebrate respectfully as a city that has brought home the Stanley Cup twice now in four years."
After a weeklong trip to Israel to celebrate his daughter's bat mitzvah, Emanuel returned to Chicago just in time to watch the two-goals-in-17-seconds "miracle on ice" that sealed Game 6 and the series over the Boston Bruins.
The mayor didn't miss a trick. He slipped into a South Loop bar at 7:30 a.m. Tuesday to hobnob with the champions and personally welcome the bar-hopping Stanley Cup back home to Chicago.
"I did not know that beer was the breakfast of champions," Emanuel said, noting that head coach Joel Quenneville was "vertical" — even after arriving at O'Hare at 4 a.m.
"There I was at 7:30 [a.m.] when I told Coach Q that that was literally an amazing game, an amazing last 17 seconds. And it had a storybook beginning and a fairytale ending. And if somebody had submitted that as a script to Hollywood, I don't think anybody would have believed it. You had to watch it happen to see the greatness."
Emanuel said the beauty of the Hawks' victory was that every member of the team contributed to the magical playoff run. There's "a lesson there for all of us in life and in politics," the mayor said.
"It's been a great season — from a record-breaking start to the final 17 seconds that will now, always go down in history as the miracle on ice. It was an incredible game. I didn't know I could hold my breath for an entire three periods," Emanuel joked.
"Every individual got a chance to contribute to building a great team. That's what was exciting for the whole city."
After the pulsating finish, Chicagoans took to the streets and let loose — not only outside Rush Street bars but outside the bars in Wrigleyville and near the United Center. Dozens of windows were broken on Clark Street.
Asked whether he was satisfied with how Chicago Police officers handled the crowds, Emanuel said, There are individual stories. ... You have some incidents. The police responded to those individual incidents. But overall, when you go throughout the city and you look at it from the big picture, the police did a good job. The fans clearly enjoyed the game. And they had a chance to celebrate. That said, some individuals crossed the line from celebration into something else and the police responded immediately and quickly to that."
In Miami, police banned backpacks at the parade that celebrated the Heat's second straight NBA championship. Asked if he planned to do the same on Friday, Emanuel said no decision has yet been made.
But late Tuesday, the city issued an advisory urging fans to use public transportation Friday and "refrain from bringing restricted items such as alcohol and backpacks and take precautions regarding warm weather conditions."

Fifteen parents from the community will be randomly selected from the Early Steps to Success Program and will have the opportunity to participate in an essential learning experience.
The project is sponsored by the Bonanza Buying Center in Duncan, the Early Steps to School Success Program and Share Our Strength's Cooking Matters Program.
The event is set to take place Feb. 25 at 9:30 a.m. in Wal-Mart.
"We feel that it is very important for an individual to learn how to read nutritional labels because the obesity rate in Mississippi is very high and many low income families are not knowledgeable about what they are purchasing to put into their body," said ESS Coordinator Shenika King.
Cooking Matters has been featured by First Lady Michelle Obama's Let's Move! Campaign and recognized by the U.S. Department of Agriculture for excellence in nutrition education. The Wal-Mart Foundation is the national sponsor of Cooking Matters.
"Most of the families that we work with through the ESS program shop at Wal–Mart," she added.
The ESS program holds monthly meetings at the parent center in Shelby.
According to King, parents are able to connect with other families in the community through this program.
"We bring them information on nutrition, language, literacy development and we also have various speakers to come in and do presentations," she added.
The project is funded by a grant through the Save the Children Program, which is partnered with ESS and the Bonanza Buying Center.
"I feel like this project will encourage better and healthier eating habits. Families will have the opportunity to go into Wal-Mart and learn the significance of reading nutritional labels," continued King.
The tour will provide families with hands-on education as they shop for food, giving them skills to compare foods for cost and nutrition.
Participants will learn how to plan and budget for healthy, affordable, and delicious meals for their families.
"We are going to lead a group of 15 parents and talk to them about reading all types of labels and the significance of fresh produce as opposed for canned produce. We will also be talking to them about the importance of whole grain, the labels on frozen goods and unit prices," she added.
According to King, the 15 parents will be spilt into three groups of five and each group will have a tour leader.
Tour leaders can include staff or volunteers from local and regional social service agencies, supermarket employees, faith leaders, chefs, nutrition experts and others who know that healthy food doesn't have to break the bank.
"I think that this is a great opportunity and hopefully in the near future we will do more grocery store tours," said King.
At the end of the tour, parents will receive a nutritional cookbook, free grocery bag and a gift card.
"The families will receive a challenge gift card that must be used to purchase items that were discussed during the tour. Wal–Mart has agreed to donate three to four challenge cards as well," King said.

Post subject: Tale of a Sidekick
This is a piece I wrote a few weeks ago for an ongoing roleplaying campaign. The topic of WG4: Gods reminded me of it, so here it is...
The setting might need a few words of introduction, because I wrote the text for the benefit of people who already knew what it deals with.
The Setting is called
Necessary Evil
. It's a world of Superheroes and Supervillains -- only without the Heroes!
A few years ago the Earth was attacked by the alien V'sori. The world's Superheroes all moved out to save humanity -- and were cut down like sheep. The V'sori conquered Earth and established a military government.
A couple of months later Dr. Destruction, one of the worlds most notorious and dangerous Super
started a campain of recruiting his fellow Supervillains into an organizes resistance group called Omega. And that's where the player characters find themselves in.
My own character in this campaing is a Servitor, which means that he has never been out to strike it rich or conquer the world. Instead he is a servant of a Higher Power -- and his Higher Power is
A short while ago, I had an opportunity to gain a Sidekick (such things can happen at random intervals). Unfortunately there was no real good opportunity to introduce one during the respective gaming session, so I wrote this story instead, havong the appearance of the Sidekick happen in the character's "down time".
The story begins where our gaming session ended...

Post subject:
The crowd cheered as Hard Rocker's sonic blast slammed into the group of Drones, scattering them over the asphalt. This was the first time Hard Rocker's Omega cell fought in front of an audience, and it felt mightily strange. (Was he having an attack of stage fright? Nonsense!) All these people hadn't actually come for them; and neither had the news vans. They had already been there when the cell arrived, watching the firefighters' attempts to get that burning building across the street under control. But now it seemed like the gawkers had found a more interesting source for this afternoon's entertainment.
Hard Rocker soon noticed that his blast had not been as effective as his spectators assumed. Only a handful of the Drones were seriously damaged, the rest had just been knocked down by the shockwave. Not that it mattered much anymore. The fight was pretty much over, the Fins and the single V'sori that had led them into battle lying in bloody heaps. This was just so much mopping up. Looking around for another group of targets, Hard Rocker saw that it was no longer any use. The last of the Drones were just now being taken apart in close combat by his teammates.
That's when the Song started.
By itself, this was not an unusual sensation for Hard Rocker. Ever since that fateful day, years ago, when he had pledged his life to service of Rock'n'Roll, he had heard songs inside his head practically constantly.
But there was something strange about this one. Several somethings, in fact.
First, in situations like this, he'd normally hear something heroic and inspiring, something like Manowar, or Saxon, or even Queen. But this was Twisted Sister's
I Wanna Rock!
, which sounded more like a challenge than a celebration.
Second, what he was hearing was obviously a cover version. Even over the noisy guitars and the cheering of the crowd, he could clearly make out a female voice singing the lyrics. This had never happened to him before. Rock'n'Roll had access to all the originals, so why would he play a cover version?
Third, and this was perhaps the strangest of them all, the music did not actually appear to come from inside Hard Rocker's head. He turned around in confusion. The Music seemed to originate from somewhere in the crowd. His gaze swept over the assembled spectators, searching for the One
And there she was.
The girl was perhaps in her early twenties, wearing tight jeans and a black girly-shirt with a Nightwish logo of her chest. She wasn't actually singing in fact she was rummaging through her purse, looking for something but by Billy Gibbons' beard, he was sure that she was the source of the song he was hearing.
In the meantime, the strange girl had apparently found what she had been looking for, and now she came striding towards him, holding what looked like a large marker pen in her hand. She said something to him, and at that moment Hard rocker was absolutely certain: It was her voice that was singing I Wanna Rock! inside his head.
'So, she wants to rock,' Hard Rocker thought 'good for her, but so what? What's keeping her?'
The girl looked at Hard Rocker expectantly, and with a pang of guilt he realized that he hadn't paid any attention to what the she had said to him. Slightly embarrassed (man was he glad that his face was hidden behind a mask) he lifted his hand to the side of his helmet and pretended to make some kind of adjustment.
'Eh Sorry, I couldn't hear you.' That wasn't even that far from the truth.
The girl pushed the pen into his hand. 'I was asking if you'd give me your autograph..?'
'Uh Sure. Where do you want it?' He waved the pen around as he asked. She had not brought a piece of paper or anything for him to sign on. With a lop-sided smile the girl lifted up her shirt to expose her stomach. Hard Rocker almost laughed out loud. This was his first fan-autograph ever, and he could definitely imagine worse places to put it on than a girl's tummy. With grand and showy motions he shifted his guitar to his side, kneeled down in front of her and drew the pen across her skin in swift, flowing strokes.
When he was done, the girl looked down at herself to inspect his handiwork, a broad grin spreading across her face. 'Thanks!' Before Hard Rocker could stand up again, she bent forward and planted a kiss on the visor plate of his helmet. Then she turned and started running back towards the crowd, where one of the news teams was already waiting for her. She gladly answered the reporter's questions and showed off her trophy to the camera.
Hard Rocker now noticed that his comrades were waiting for him to move out, so he turned towards the crowd one last time and raised his fist with the two outermost fingers stretched out straight. This was answered by fewer cheers from the crowd than he would have liked, but his newly won fan immediately returned the gesture. He lowered his arm to point his fingers directly at her (and the camera which had by now panned over to him), then turned around and followed his team into a back alley to where they had parked their getaway vehicle.

'dundun dundun dundun dooh dundun dundun dundun dooh '
Chelsea shook her head. Now, where had she picked up that earworm? It was the intro to a song she knew, but she couldn't remember the title, or any of the lyrics. The song proceeded to play itself out inside her head; she heard every note of the bass, every chord of the guitar, every beat of the drums. She even knew how the melody of the vocals went, but not a single word of the lyrics came to her mind. And when the song was finished, it just started over again, and again, and again.
The sensation of movement beside her stirred her up from her musical trance and with a sudden alarm she realized that she had sat through the entire lecture and hadn't heard a single word of what Professor Menkovski had been talking about. Damn! She had known in advance that molecular chemistry was bound to get a bit dry at times, but Menkovski's courses would've made the Sahara look like a bog in comparison. Well, she'd just have to read up later on the subjects she'd missed.
As she started to collect her gear, Chelsea noticed the writing on her notebook. It was her handwriting, but she couldn't remember writing anything down during this lesson.
Once upon a time was a backbeat.
Once upon a time all the chords came to life.
And the Angels had guitars, even before they had wings.
If you hold on to a chorus, you get through the night.
Was this a part of the song in her head? Could be. This whole affair was starting to freak her out.
She was walking down the corridors of Star City University, her mind still haunted by that nameless, wordless song. After a while, she noticed that she hadn't even paid any attention to where she was going. She now found herself in the main entrance hall of the Science Building, in front of the large message board. Her eyes fell upon one of the notices stuck to the board, and the suddenly the endless loop of music in her head was replaced by a single, long held note from the lead guitar. As she picked up and read the sheet, this note was followed by an extended improvised solo.
Singer for Rock Band
If you're interested you can find us
in the Fine Arts Building, Practice Room C
every Tuesday & Thursday
between 4 and 6 pm.
Chelsea had been told that she had a good singing voice, but she had never really thought about singing in a band. She gazed at her watch. Today was Tuesday, and it was just past 4:30 pm. They'd be playing right now. Should she give it a try?
Ah, what the hell, why not! At the very least, she might get to hear a new song to replace the one that's been haunting her the whole day.
* * *
Will Bailey was in the middle of the guitar solo of
Ace of Spades
, when her voice called out inside his head again: '
I Wanna Rock!
' In surprise, Will missed the next two notes and failed to catch up on the following ones. Annoyed over this lack of concentration, he called for a halt and, one by one, his band mates stopped playing. He had a pretty good idea what would happen next, and turned his head towards the room's entrance a fraction of a second before the door was opened and someone stepped in.
Will already knew who it would be, and he wasn't disappointed. He'd seen her before, a couple of days ago, while he'd been wearing the mask of the Hard Rocker. She was his Fan; the one who now wore his signature under her shirt.
'Hey, there!' he called out to her.
'Hi, uh I found your notice. You're looking for a singer..?'
'Yeah! You think you got what it takes?'
'I'm here to find out ' ('
I Wanna Rock!
'Well, come on over here, then. I'm Will.'
'Hi Chelsea, these are Mick and Karen ' Will indicated the rhythm guitarist and bassist who both threw Chelsea quick salutes. ' and Steve, on the drums.' Steve made the sign of the Horns, a drumstick still clenched in his fist.
'So, ' Will reached into his bag, pulled out a bunch of papers and handed it to Chelsea. 'Here are a couple of songs we've been playing for a while. Just pick one you wanna do '
Chelsea flipped through the sheets until she stopped at one. Will noticed a slight glint in her eyes as she read the title. Will half expected it to be Twisted Sister:
I Wanna Rock!
, but that was impossible: He didn't have printed lyrics for that song.
Chelsea recognized the song as soon as her eyes caught the title. It was the one that had been haunting her all day. 'This one.' Chelsea said and handed the sheets back with her chosen song on top.
'Hm Meatloaf!' Will remarked, 'Brave choice for a first attempt!'
He showed the sheet around to the rest of the band, and than handed it back to her, but she no longer needed it. With a flash of insight all the words were now in her head. She could hardly wait for the band to start playing. When her part finally started, the words just flowed out of her. It almost felt as if the song was singing itself and just needed her to give it a voice:
You can't run away forever
But there's nothing wrong with getting a good head start
You want to shut out the night, you want to shut down the sun
You want to shut away the pieces of a broken heart
Think of how we'd lay down together
We'd be listening to the radio so loud and so strong
Every golden nugget coming like a gift of the gods
Someone must have blessed us when he gave us those songs
I treasure your love, I never want to lose it
You've been through the fires of hell
And I know you've got the ashes to prove it
I treasure your love, I want to show you how to use it
You've been through a lot of pain in the dirt
And I know you've got the scars to prove it
Remember everything that I told you,
And I'm telling you again that it's true
When you're alone and afraid, and you're completely amazed
To find there's nothing anybody can do
Keep on believing, and you'll discover baby
There's always something magic, there's always something new
And when you really really need it the most
That's when rock and roll dreams come through
The beat is yours forever, the beat is always true
And when you really really need it the most
That's when rock and roll dreams come through for you
Once upon a time was a backbeat,
Once upon a time all the chords came to life
And the angels had guitars even before they had wings
If you hold onto a chorus you can get through the night
I treasure your love, I never want to lose it
You've been through the fires of hell
And I know you've got the ashes to prove it
I treasure your love, I want to show you how to use it
You've been through a lot of pain in the dirt
And I know you've got the scars to prove it
Remember everything that I told you,
And I'm telling you again that it's true
You're never alone cause you can put on the phones
And let the drummer tell your heart what to do
Keep on believing, and you'll discover baby
There's always something magic, there's always something new
And when you really really need it the most
That's when rock and roll dreams come through
The beat is yours forever, the beat is always true
And when you really really need it the most
That's when rock and roll dreams come through for you
The beat is yours forever - that's when rock and roll dreams come through
She had a great singing voice, but even more than that, Will felt that she was the right one. The passion of Rock radiated from her like starfire. Will was pretty sure that Rock'n'Roll wanted her to be in this band, and for this reason he knew that none of his band mates would even think of rejecting her.
The last notes of the song died down, and in the silence that followed Will turned towards his band mates, who looked as impressed with Chelsea, as he was. Each in turn they gave short nods.
'Well, Chelsea,' Will started as he turned back to her, '

It was already dark when Chelsea left the Fine Arts Building. Her car was parked near the Science Building, almost halfway across campus. Well, that gave her time to go through some of those songs again. In the course of the evening, not all songs she had attempted had gone down as easily as the first one, and now she was mentally going over a number of lines where she had gotten stuck before.
She was startled out of her reverie by the sound of an engine coming towards her, fast. She looked up in alarm, but it was already too late.
She hardly felt the impact, but she did feel the ground dropping away from her as the car picked her up and hurled her through the air. Strangely, she never felt any impact on the ground either. It was as if she was floating weightlessly.
Everything had gone dark around her. Then the music started; the lone tune of an electric guitar flowing towards her as if from a great distance, but quickly growing stronger. It was joined by more instruments, and after a while the separate tunes coalesced into a single melody, which Chelsea recognized as
You Could Be Mine
. Each tune was accompanied by a number of colored lights, and soon the darkness around her was replaced by a venerable light show.
'Wow! Am I, like, dead? And if I am, is this Heaven or Hell?'
'Who's there?'
'What do you mean, "not yet"?' In front of Chelsea materialized what seemed to be a large video screen. On it, she saw herself, still flying through the air in a trajectory that would ultimately result in a rather unhealthy contact of her head with the asphalt. The car that had hit her could be seen disappearing in the distance. Everything was happening in slow-motion, and at this pace Chelsea figured she probably had a couple of minutes left to live.
'Oh, snapple!'
'Is this some kind of Faustian deal? So you're, like, the Devil offering me my life in exchange for my soul?'
' the voice sounded slightly amused by this assumption. '
'Then who are you?'
From out of the flashing lights, a figure approached her. A figure she had seen before, clad in a metallic bodysuit, with a darkly visored helmet, and carrying an oversized guitar. It even still had the lipstick on its visor, which she had left there.
'You?' But then she realized that this was not the Hard Rocker she had seen the other day. The helmet and guitar were the same, and the armor was of the same style, but the figure wearing it was unmistakably female. The figure came closer, quoting the lines Chelsea knew so well by now:
With these words, she took off the helmet and revealed her face. I was Chelsea's own.
'Who are you? WHAT are you?'
' She handed the helmet to Chelsea. '
Chelsea looked at the helmet in her hands. 'Will I get to fight alongside Him?'
Her double gave a slight chuckle '
'What's that supposed to mean?'
'But what ' Chelsea started, but the stranger who wore her face was no longer there. She looked at the screen again. Indeed, her head had almost hit the ground by now. Panic started to creep up on her. She looked at the helmet in her hands. The helmet! The stranger was gone, but she had left that helmet in Chelsea's hands
'This had better work,' she said, and put the helmet on her head.
With a sound like shattering crystal, Chelsea hit the asphalt. 'Ouch!' As she lifted her head, she found that the ground around her was covered in tiny metallic fragments, which were quickly being dispersed by a gust of wind. It seemed like every single part of her body was aching, but as far as she could tell, she was still alive. She tried to stand up, but her legs refused to carry her. Like a marionette with its strings cut, she dropped to the ground once more, and the world went dark again.
When Chelsea woke up, she was lying in a bed, and the room around her didn't look very much like a hospital. Outside her door she heard voiced talking, but she could not make out what they were saying. The conversation ended with the sound of a closing door, so Chelsea assumed that one or both of the talkers had left the house.
'Hello..?' Her voice sounded weak and raspy, but to her great relief her call succeeded in getting the attention of the person outside. The door to her room was opened and in came Will Bailey.
'Chelsea, you're awake! Thank God!'
'Will..? Where am I?'
'My place. Can you remember what happened? I found you lying on the street when I left the Arts Building.'
'Car. I was crossing the street, and didn't see the car coming '
'Wow! You're lucky to be alive!'
'Yeah, lucky '
'You'll be ok, though. I've had a friend come around to check you out What is it? You've got a weird look on your face.'
'I've had the strangest dream while I was knocked out.'
'A dream?' Will sat down on the edge of her bed his bed, really. 'You wanna tell me about it?'
So she did.

'So, this is it???' Chelsea looked round the warehouse that served as the Omega cell's base of operations, her rage clearly showing on her face.
'This is what this great "Crusader for Rock'n'Roll" really is? A lapdog for the biggest homicidal sociopath alive? Don't tell me you seriously believe that Dr. Destruction is going to save the world. More likely, he's planning to take the world for himself, and just using you to get rid of the V'sori for him '
'You're probably right!' Will was watching his new protégée from the couch in the warehouse's makeshift lounge area. 'At some point in the future, Doc D's probably going to make his own move for world domination, but until that time comes, he's actually doing the world a favor.'
Chelsea shot him an acid glare, clearly not convinced.
'Someone's gotta fight against the V'sori. Those best suited for that purpose were the Heroes, but they're all dead. Those who remained were the Villains, loners and anarchists; those too selfish to care, and those who're just not able to get themselves organized for a useful resistance.
And that's what Doc D's doing. He's collecting all these wildcards and loose cannons and turns them into a venerable fighting force. The day will come, when each of us will have to decide whether he wants to be a Hero or a Villain, but until then we're all the same: We're Rebels!'
Chelsea clapped her hands, slowly, with a sarcastic expression. 'Nice speech! You running for president, of something?'
'Hmm Interesting idea. I might actually be good at it, too.' He held his hand out as if plying on a non-existing guitar and began singing in a passable imitation of Beavis: '
Making the Law! Making the Law!
Chelsea could no longer help but laugh. 'OK, so Destruction's calling the shots for now. But what am I supposed to do in all of this? I mean, I don't have any Superpowers that I know of '
'Me neither! Hard Rocker's tricks are all in his equipment: The armor, the sonic blaster, the repulsor pack, I'm gonna have to build another set for you.'
Chelsea's smile faded and was replaced by a frown. 'Somehow, I don't think this whole armor thing is really my style. I was hoping for something more showy and sexy. You know, like those warrior chicks you always see on heavy metal album covers..?'
'Hmm personal style is important, of course, but you'll need some kind of serious protection out there, or you're not gonna last long.'
'So, it's gonna have to be a bulky suit like yours after all?'
'No! Go with your inspiration, and have faith! Rock'n'Roll will show you a way.'
'You know, still I find it difficult to think of Rock'n'Roll as something like a god.'
'I wouldn't say "god"; more like a titan a force of nature.'
* * *
Chelsea was sitting in the university library with a large pile of books, trying to catch up on Professor Menkovski's lecture which she had missed out on the other day. What she was looking at were the molecular structures of spider silk and various attempts at synthetic imitation. To most others, the assemblies of lines and letters would mean little more than complex abstract patterns. But she had been doing this kind of things for years now, and she recognized the functional components of these gargantuan structures, stretching on into virtual infinity.
If anything, this insight only served to make her task worse. The drawings started to dance in front of her eyes.
'Come on, stupid girl, concentrate!' Chelsea shut her eyes and took a couple of deep breaths. Just then, a melody started up in her head. This had happened to her so often in the last couple of days that it no longer surprised her. What did surprise her was the fact that, when she opened her eyes again, the music seemed to follow the molecular structures before her; the melodic patterns in her head matching up with the chemical patterns on the pages.
But the melody did not stay with any one of the molecules. It skipped back and forth between organic and synthetic elements, combining both in a completely new composition. "Like a force of nature", Will had said
With a flash of realization, Chelsea grabbed her notebook and started drawing. Eyes half closed, she drew what she heard; the tremolos, crescendos and pizzicatos turning into alkyls, phenyls and hydroxyls; a polyphonic polymer; a symphony of creation.
The melody went into a grand finale and then died down. Chelsea opened her eyes and studied the new molecule she had designed. She knew what she had on this page, and if this could indeed be done, the result would be Super.
Chelsea looked into the beaker which was now about half filled with a clear liquid. If she had gotten all of the reactions right, the molecular structure of this liquid ought to be identical to the one she had drawn. Her hand was shaking slightly as she poured her creation into the university's polymer spinneret. With a painful slowness the ultra fine, transparent fiber emerged from the machine. Chelsea had to use tweezers to grab the fiber and feed it into the spindle assembly.
When her fiber was completely spun, dried and wound, she took it over to the mechanics lab and put a length of it into the stress-strain testing machine. In theory, this machine would stretch the fiber to its rupturing point to determine its strength. Chelsea watched as the numbers on the digital force display climbed higher and higher. Finally the machine gave a high-pitched tone of alarm and switched itself off.
The fiber was still intact. It had withstood the highest tensile force the machine was capable of generating.
Chelsea looked at the spool of fiber in her hand and smiled, knowing that she had found her armor.
* * *
In her small dressing room in the back of the warehouse, Chelsea regarded herself in the full-sized mirror. She stretched and twisted her body and waved her arms in all directions to make sure that her new suit of synthetic spider silk fit correctly and didn't obstruct any of her movements. The tight fitting suit covered her body from head to toe, but apart from a slight silky sheen the transparent and ultra-thin material was practically invisible. To a casual observer, she would appear completely nude.
Over the suit went her "armor"; basically a short skirt and bra made of black, studded leather and chain mail. Both were completely fake and served no real purpose other than looking cool and protecting some small amount of modesty. Her outfit was completed by the boots black, knee-high and high-heeled, with large chrome buckles and the Helmet.
This helmet was one of Will's creations. Not only would it obscure her identity, it also contained one of Will's special sonic toys. Chelsea had decided that a sonic blast weapon like Will's didn't suit her, so he had designed a device for her that relied more on subterfuge than brute force.
A knock on the door tore Chelsea's attention away from her reflection. 'Hey, Chelsea, are you decent?' Will's voice filtered through the door.
'Well, I would hope not!' Chelsea joked. There was a short pause, and Chelsea imagined Will trying to figure out what her comment was supposed to mean.
'Is it okay for me to come in?'
The door opened and Will stepped into the room, all geared up in his Hard Rocker suit. His gaze wandered over her costumed form. 'Wow! Look who's all dressed to kill, now. How's it feel? Everything fitting well?'
'Seems like it.'
'Great. You got any idea yet for a name?'
A frown crept over Chelsea's face. 'Not really. The best I could come up so far is "Metal Maiden", but I don't think that's very imaginative.'
'I like it. Simple, to the point, easy to remember, and I really think it suits you.'
'If you say so '
'No! Not if I say so. If you feel like it! If you don't like the name, don't use it. The inspiration will come to you sooner or later.'
'Thanks. But I think I'll go with "Metal Maiden" after all. First ideas normally being the best ones, and all that '
'That's right. Over thinking stuff only tends to mess up your head for good Listen, we're moving out. You ready to come with us?'
'Just a sec; I'll be right there.'
Metal Maiden took a final look at her mirror image. This was it; she was going to be a Super what? A Hero? A Rebel? A Villain?
She made the sign of the Horns, two-fisted. She'd be a Super Rocker!

International Students
Claremont McKenna College (CMC) values the diversity that international students bring to campus in terms of culture, background and perspectives. CMC enrolls approximately 1,250 students from 46 states and 29 countries. CMC is a small liberal arts college with an emphasis on public policy, public affairs and leadership. Many CMC graduates pursue careers in business, international relations, medicine, government and law. Most students graduate in four years. As a residential college, all freshmen are required to live on campus, and on-campus housing is available for all four years of attendance. Over 95% of CMC students live on campus. New international students are strongly encouraged to participate in the home stay program that is available prior to New Student Orientation. In the home stay program, students stay with host families in the Claremont area and have the opportunity to become acquainted with the local area, the college campus and cultural differences before moving on to the CMC campus. Also, host families often provide international students with a place to stay during campus breaks and, sometimes, a place to have a home-cooked meal.
Two valuable resources for international students are shared by The Claremont Colleges. International Place (I-Place) is located on the CMC campus and provides international students with activities, resources, Visa assistance and other immigration issues. The goal of I-Place is to create opportunities for international students and American students to interact and to learn across cultures. McAlister Center for Religious Activities helps students with spiritual and religious needs, including locating the proper church, temple or synagogue for students to attend.

Picking a colour for a website means much more then picking your favourite colour and turning it into a layout
Web design has come a long way since 1991 when the first ever website (exclusively text-based) was published. Today, over two decades after the publication of the first website, web design has firmly constituted itself as an irreplaceable element of every good marketing strategy.
In terms of modern aesthetics, we have seen the growth of minimalism, flat graphics, blended typography, and large background images. In addition, UX (user experience) has taken centre stage, giving way to such design features as infinite scrolling and single-page design (all applicable to the N3RD website).
However one thing that hasn't changed over the years and it is the importance of colour. Picking a colour for a website means much more then picking your favourite colour and turning it into a layout. In addition to supporting your brand, it can help achieve the desired response from your audience. But for that you need to understand how colours are classified and their meanings.
Classifying colours
Colours are traditionally shown in a colour wheel, and from this wheel, we can separate then into three main groups: primary, secondary and tertiary.
The three primary colours are red, blue and yellow. These colours are the base colours that make up all the other colours on the colour wheel.
Mix the primary colours together, and you get the secondary colours. These are orange, green and purple.
Tertiary colours are comprised of the middle colours like yellow-green and blue-green. They are created by mixing a primary colour and a secondary colour
Relationships of Colours
There are plenty of terms to describe colours, which will be helpful to know later on when we discuss colours and their emotional meanings.
-Complimentary colours are colours that compliment each other well and are located opposite of each other on the colour wheel. These are colours like blue and orange, purple and yellow, and red and green.
-Analogous colours are those located right next to each other on the colour wheel, so they usually match fairly well but provide little contrast when used together.
Colour Groups Based on Emotions
There are colour groups that are associated with emotions: warm, cool and neutral.
-Warm colours evoke warmth like red, yellow and orange.
-Cool colours make people think of cool and chilly colours like blue, green and purple.
-Neutral colours, as the term suggests, don't create much of an emotion. Coors like grey and brown are neutral colours
Types of Colour in Design
There are two different colour systems and both are used depending on what you're designing for.
-RGB is short for Red Green Blue, which are the three primary colours of the system and is produced with light. RGB is used on televisions, computer monitors, and any kind of screen.
-CMYK, which is short for Cyan Magenta Yellow and Key (Black) is created by pigments and is used in print.
How users see the colour choices
Colours can stimulate and excite people, increase their appetite, make them feel warm or make them feel calm. Huge corporations with lots of financial resources will use large amounts of money to study the effects different colours have on different cultures, before entering a new market.
Visitors to your website make subconscious opinions of your brand the moment they land on the homepage. The colours used are the first thing they see which triggers their subconscious response to that particular colour scheme. Colours are psychological and all have built-in associations.
Take a look at this infographic to get an idea of what colours mean psychologically:
[Via: Basekit – the psychology of colour]
View Larger Image.
This are some tips to guide you through the choice of colours :
The fewer the better. Creating a harmonious colour scheme is essential and will tie your website elements together, making your page design well balanced.
Colour contrast appears more intensely on screen than in printed matter so utilising it correctly is indispensable for visual success. Complementary colours can work well together as they intensify each other when placed side by side.
Make sure you consider brand guidelines and devise a colour scheme to enhance the company colours. Tints, shades and tones of the main hues can create varied and exciting colour palettes.
You know the rules, now you can experiment and decide what combination is best for your website and your business using this tools:

Now in command of the First Fleet, he is tasked with exploring the frontier beyond Syndic space, a mission he fears deliberately puts the fleet—and himself—in harm's way…
An encounter with the alien enigmas confirms Geary's fears. Attacked without warning, he orders the fleet to jump star systems—only to enter the crosshairs of another hostile alien armada. Ignoring the First Fleet's peaceful communications, this species sends its ships into battle while it guards the exiting jump point with a fortress of incalculable power. Now Geary must find a way to reach the jump point without massive casualties—even though the enigmas could be waiting on the other side…

Great combination of features and easy to use
I already own the original Jambox and I'm impressed with it so much I decided I had to get the Big Jambox. The original is nice ca I already own the original Jambox and I'm impressed with it so much I decided I had to get the Big Jambox. The original is nice cause I can fit it into my jacket pocket and always have decent quality sound wherever. The Big Jambox does exactly what the original does but has extras; music shuttle control from the speaker, 50% more battery life, and more volume. The speaker connects via BlueTooth which is way more practical for a portable speaker than AirPlay's WiFi. The Big Jambox is about the size of a 2 liter carton of milk so it needs to be carried in a bag and not a pocket. I like the Jambox products better than the BOSE cause of battery life, like it better than the B&O PLAY cause of price, and like it better than the iHome products for sound quality at higher volumes.

Worth every penny
Orininally I purchased the Bose sound link with high hopes. I have been using Bose for quite some time now and thought to stick wi Orininally I purchased the Bose sound link with high hopes. I have been using Bose for quite some time now and thought to stick with what I knew. Upon unboxing and testing the Bose unit I noticed after several minutes, a horrible rattle sound, similar to the sound a blown speaker makes. After troubleshooting I indefinitely concluded that I had purchased a faulty unit. Now, be that as it may, I was turned off by the sound link. I was recommended by a sales associate to check out the big jambox. She showed me a sample unit and I loved the industrial look of it. Also I was surprised as to how heavy the unit is. We tested it out in the store and I immediately noticed the big jambox was much louder then the sound link. There was also no rattle, just the sound of crisp highs, pronounced mids, and well, as far as the low end I will say you hear notes probably down to 50 hz but, nothing much lower. Heck, in a unit this size, I was absolutely amazed with the performance it was delivering! I must say that I love this thing, all the way down to how they boxed it up. Another good thing about it is how inconspicuous it looks, I doubt many people will know the true value of this thing which is a good deterrent to possible thieves. That is until they hear how good this thing is... Bluetooth quality has been good with no issue. Battery life is amazing. I just want to end by saying that the big jambox makes me smile every time I turn it on. It makes me feel good knowing that I own such an amazing product. Oh, and don't be surprised when it starts talking to you :) …

Picked it over the Soundlink
I was torn between the Bose Soundlink and the Jawbone Big Jambox which was a relative unknown (to me anyway). I must have played I was torn between the Bose Soundlink and the Jawbone Big Jambox which was a relative unknown (to me anyway). I must have played with both of them for over a half hour before finally going with the Big Jambox.
I was amazed at how much (good quality) sound this thing puts out given it's size. The Bose may put out a little more bass, but it can't match the clarity of the Jawbone. Listened side by side, there is a noticeable lack of treble and mid range on the Bose, not so with the Jawbone. It has a very balanced overall sound and man can this thing crank it out.
The battery life was also very important to me and in this aspect there is no comparison...the Big Jambox wins hands down here with just about double the advertised battery life of the Bose.
I haven't played with LiveAudio yet, but I have used the speakerphone aspect of this product and as expected (Jawbone was mainly known for headsets until the Jambox series) it performed very well.
Overall both the Soundlink and Big Jambox are great speakers, but the added features and personal sound preference tipped the scale in favor of the Jawbone Big Jambox. …- Written by Justin H from Webster

When I first got it, the Big Jambox charged up just fine. Weeks later I need to recharge it. I used the USB cable, which didn't seem to eliminate the "battery is less than one forth charge" report. I wrote tech support, was answered promptly, and realized I should have used the "brick" power supple to charge the Jambox. However, I still couldn't charge it properly.
Today I called tech support, and a friendly technician had me to to the company web site, and led me through a sequence I would never have thought of. For example, click on the little icon of a person (not marked) to log in. Download a new firmware, by clicking on the "audio" icon (who would have known to do that ???).

Reviewed by Automobile Magazine on 9/12/2005
Chrysler has had the retro-wagon market to itself until now. For 2006, Chevy introduces the HHR, which is virtually identical to the PT in concept. GM says the styling was influenced by the current Chevy SSR convertible pickup as well as the 1949 Suburban. Park the PT and the HHR side-by-side, and it will be obvious to you that they are competitors. Both are fairly low-slung, tall-roofed wagons with four doors and a hatchback that lifts to reveal a versatile load area with movable shelving and other clever features. Both vehicles are based on front-wheel-drive economy-car platforms: the PT Cruiser on the Neon and the HHR on the Chevy Cobalt. Neither one is offered with all-wheel drive, both to keep them affordable and because their makers each offers several other all-wheel-drive vehicles. Yet they are taller and roomier than small station wagons. This unique niche has been occupied solely by the PT Cruiser for nearly six years. Is there room in it for another player?
Chevy clearly hopes so. Interior layout and size, chassis configuration, and exterior styling for the two vehicles all are from the same playbook, but Chevy went down a slightly different road with the HHR's engines. Whereas the PT Cruiser offers three four-cylinder engines, two of them with turbochargers, the HHR sticks with two normally aspirated versions of GM's well-regarded Ecotec four. The standard 2.2-liter version produces 143 horsepower, while the optional 2.4-liter engine uses variable valve timing to achieve 172 horsepower. A five-speed manual is standard, and a four-speed automatic with a remote vehicle starting function is optional. Our test car, fitted with the 2.4-liter and the automatic, shifted smoothly but lacked midrange power. The chassis felt buttoned down, and the HHR rode nicely, but its standard electric power steering lacked linearity and was too slow for maneuvering through the urban jungle of our local Wal-Mart parking lot.
Anybody who's spent time in a PT Cruiser will be at home inside the similarly realized HHR cabin. The raised seating position, the centrally located power-window switches, and the flexible seating arrangements all are familiar. The HHR's radio has a Honda-like large volume knob sensibly located in the center--you'll be seeing variations on this new radio theme in other GM products like the Saturn Vue. Material quality is better than some we've seen from the General, for sure, but it's still below VW, Mazda, Honda, and Toyota standards. Panel fits generally are disappointing, and the markings for the HVAC rotary knobs are nearly impossible to decipher. On the plus side, the HHR's cargo-hauling capability is impressive, especially if you position the adjustable rear cargo shelf in line with the folding rear seat. Fold down the front passenger's seat as well, and you have one long, uninterrupted surface. The PT's seats are easier and quicker to remove than the HHR's.
It was no secret that Chevy was developing the HHR, so Chrysler went on the defense with a well timed, 2006 upgrade to the aging PT Cruiser. The old girl's new party dress consists of freshened front and rear fascias, new headlamps, and a different front grill. Chrysler's stylists fitted the interior with larger gauges, rotating air vents, additional chrome trim, and a very attractive, Chrysler signature analog clock. The stylish steering wheel, the well-designed center console, and a nicer radio also help make the PT Cruiser's cabin look and feel more upmarket than the HHR's. A new acoustic package adds refinement and snuffs out additional road noise.
We tested a PT Cruiser Limited, powered by a 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine sending 180 hp through a four-speed automatic transmission. Thanks to its light-pressure turbocharger, it offers much more midrange power than the HHR, but that turbo adds about $1300 to the price. We were not surprised to discover that the Chrysler's chassis is slightly less sporty than the HHR's, since the PT is based on ancient Neon underpinnings, while GM's much more modern Delta platform underlies the HHR. When driven quickly, the PT tends to understeer, which again is no surprise: Neither of these vehicles is going to be your choice for autocrossing.
Both the HHR and the PT Cruiser drive well and feature versatile cabins and retro-themed styling. The HHR is the new kid on the block and offers a slightly sportier chassis. The proven PT Cruiser has a much nicer interior than the HHR, but its slightly updated exterior is still an all-too-familiar sight. Since neither of these vehicles is geared toward enthusiast drivers, we'd vote for the PT Cruiser, because it has the nicest cockpit.

Lee mold blocks are made from aluminum because of its exceptional molding qualities. Aluminum molds heat up and cool down faster than iron or steel molds so good bullets can usually be produced after only a few casts. Lee molds produce bullets faster than iron or steel molds due to the minimized down time between casts. In addition, they are one-third the weight of iron or steel mold blocks for less fatigue during extended casting sessions. To ensure the best possible bullets, mold block halves are clamped together and then lathe-bored for unmatched roundness and size control.

The differences between brokers and registered investment advisors can be quite confusing. Brokers will often call themselves financial advisors even though they are registered brokers.
The responsibility of a broker is to recommend only suitable investments for a client, but those recommendations do not necessarily need to be the best investments. Brokers generally earn a living through commissions on financial products they sell.
For example, if a broker can earn a greater commission on an investment or receive an incentive to sell one investment instead of another, the broker may recommend doing so even though he or she could suggest a better choice with a lower commission and better record of performance. These actions may be in conflict with what may be best for a client.
On the other hand, the SEC requires a registered investment advisor to act as a fiduciary, which means he or she needs to recommend investments in the best interests of each client, meaning investments which help a client to reach his or her financial goals. Registered investment advisors are fee-based and often charge clients an amount based on a percentage of the assets under management. This fee-based arrangement helps to align an advisor's incentives with those of the client as the financial advisor can only grow his or her income if the client's portfolio increases in value.
Most of the big Wall Street firms act as brokers. A few that you might be familiar with are Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley-Smith Barney, Bank of America-Merrill Lynch, Credit Suisse and William Blair.
Again, that is not to say that there are not many good brokers. It is, however, important to understand the responsibility of your financial advisor and be sure that his or her incentives are correctly aligned with yours.

(The title being the question they would ask Pablo if he attended super-cool things like the Indie Spirit Awards or whatever.)
I don't have an amazing radar for this, like the people who write for gossip sites, but I think Pablo Sandoval is wearing Burberry in this photo from the MLB Fan Cave today. (This. Is. Not. A. Gossip. Site. Don't. Even. Think. About. Saying. That.). I am still not much for the Cave, but I am absolutely adoring the shirt. Grinning from ear to ear, adoring.
The scarf is Burberry womenswear, but so very similarly patterned to the shirt, that I just had to feature it. I know my birthday happened a couple weeks and all, but you are aware that my half-birthday is sort of soon, generous readers, right? The scarf is just £250. Totally reasonable, if you ask me.
In other news, I am still jealous of the Giants being in New York, but it's Brandon Belt's birthday and all, so I'm trying to foster peace on earth and goodwill to all. Trying being the key word there. Let's just say it's kind of a work in progress.
