Here's how I'd like to remember 2012. =) (See also this quick month-by-month summary)
For comparison, here's the sketch and summary from 2011.
I'd sketch this, but Adobe Illustrator CS6 keeps crashing on me and I'm tired of fighting with my computer today. Next time!
This year was about experiments. After building up my "opportunity fund," I turned over my projects at IBM and left to start a 5-year experiment exploring what you can learn and build if you have the time and space to do so. I want to learn how to build businesses, and I want to share what I'm learning along the way.
Here's how the year went!
January: Set things in motion for my next experiment by sending in my notice at IBM. Mapped out what I had learned. Started transitioning projects. Favourite post: Getting ready for my next experiment.
February: Made the leap! Set up a business mailbox, incorporated, and registered for HST. Favourite post: Thinking about how to experiment with business and what I might want to do
March: My first full month as a business owner! I immediately had consulting clients, which helped me hit the ground running. I drew a lot, too. (Monthly review) Favourite post: What I want from visual notetaking; imagining wild success
April: It was a lot of fun enjoying the benefits of a flexible schedule, paricularly in terms of biking. I also spent some time building my writing and drawing skills. (Monthly review)Favourite post: Why I'm temporarily unhireable
May: More client work than I expected! Sketched lots of presentations and events, too. Biked all month. Switched from community-supported agriculture to buying our own vegetables again. (Monthly review) Favourite post: Thinking about the next mini-experiment
June: Experimented with digital self-publishing by putting together a PDF of my favourite blog posts over the past ten years. (Monthly review) Favourite post: Experiment! Stories from My Twenties PDF
July: Lots of gardening and biking. Bought an Android tablet. Went strawberry-picking with the Hattoris! (Monthly review) Favourite post: Trusting myself with making time
August: Celebrated my 29th birthday! Bought a new phone, switched to a data plan. Hosted a get-together. Wrapped up consulting in preparation for a temporary break. (Monthly review) Favourite post: Thinking about what wild success at 29 looks like
September: Went to Palo Alto for the Quantified Self conference. Spent time with my parents, sister, and brother-in-law. Went to Disneyland with them! (Monthly review) Favourite post: Weekly review: Week ending September 21, 2012
October: Back to consulting. September 30 was my fiscal year end, so I spent time figuring out my books and filing taxes. Lots and lots of sketchnotes from conferences, too. (Monthly review) Favourite post: Celebrating my fiscal year end; planning how to improve
November: Gave another presentation. Started helping out with Awesome Foundation Toronto. More sketchnotes from conferences and events! (Monthly review) Favourite post: Made my largest sketchnote ever! Painting the MaRS Lean Startup Day banner
December: Took another break from consulting in order to focus on building the business. Worked on laying the groundwork for marketing and sales. Came up with a name for my company: Experivis! Favourite post: Imagining sketchnotes as a business
I want to really dig into this idea of building conference/presentation sketchnotes as a business. It's a good way to learn sales and marketing skills.
Life-wise, I'm looking forward to making exercise part of my routines, and to spending more time with W-. The biggest thing I have to learn, I think, is to keep moving forward even though the temptation is to get stuck in limbo; to somehow have a multiplicity of plans layered onto different possibilities, and to keep myself fueled and excited by them.
Today I turned twenty-nine years old! This is fantastic. I'm making good progress towards my goal of becoming a little old lady living an awesome life. =) Here's the bird's-eye view, with links to annual reviews whenever I remembered to write them:
Life as a 27-year-old was about preparing, and life as a 28-year-old was about taking more risks based on those preparations. With the stability of a warm and loving marriage to support me, the savings from a job I excelled at, and a deeper understanding of how I invest my time and money thanks to the self-tracking I'd been doing, I felt ready to take on the risk of starting a new business in order to explore the possibilities of more family-friendly work. That's been going tremendously well, and I think we're in as good a place as anyone could be for the next step.
I invested some of my earnings into new tools, and I've been teaching myself more about drawing and Android development. I have a tidy collection of sketchnotes, and people sometimes talk to me about my notes during meetups. I've also learned more about electronics, building myself a handy USB foot pedal using the Arduino and then converting it to a Teensy. I'm learning new ways to create value, and it's great. Sometimes I'm intimidated by the skills of people who've been practising these things for much longer, but all things come with time and experience, so I keep practising and learning.
I've been working on being more social, and it's getting easier and easier. We helped J- and her friends with math study groups, and we spent some time volunteering at Free Geek Toronto as well. We celebrated my sister's wedding in the Philippines, and it was great to see everyone again. She and her husband are expecting their firstborn a few months from now – my parents' first grandchild, so we're all excited. I've also been reaching out to friends, going to picnics, and just spending time hanging out. This is good.
The more I experiment, the less I know what the next year might look like, and the more confident I am that things will be wonderful anyway.
2011-12-14: Oops! Forgot to make sure the linked image was the original size. Fixed! Also, added a PDF link for people who aren't on Slideshare.
Just posted my yearly review for 2011. You can browse through the annotated pages on Slideshare. You can also download the PDF from Slideshare or from my site. View it in full screen mode for the most fun. (Mom, if you want to print this, you'll need 182 sheets of legal-size paper…)

Happy birthday to me! =) I'm celebrating my 28th birthday today. Here's the year in blog posts (August 2010 – July 2011): http://sachachua.com/notebook/files/sacha-chua-27.pdf .
Blogging as a 27-year-old: 391 published posts, 382 pages long, more than 190,000 words. If you're curious, you can see what I was blogging as a 26-year-old and as a 25-year-old.
The short version: my birthday wrap-up. It's been a great year, and I'm looking forward to learning and sharing even more!
Monthly chunks: August 2010, September 2010, October 2010, November 2010, December 2010, January 2011, February 2011, March 2011, April 2011, May 2011, June 2011, July 2011
My birthday wish: tell me what your life was like when you were 28 what you wish you knew when you were 28, or what I can improve on to make life as a 28-year-old totally awesome. =) Younger than I am? Tell me who you're planning to grow into when you're 28!
(Happy birthday to my parents, too. After all, they did all the hard work.)
I'll be celebrating my 28th birthday this August. Hooray!
I spent part of the Civic Holiday reviewing my blog posts and memories. It's been a wonderful year. In August 2010, I wrote:
What will life as a 27-year-old look like? I'm excited about long-term growth: marriage, work, friendships, interests. I'm looking forward to small, constant improvements in the way we live. I want to get even better at learning and sharing. When I turn 28, I hope to be able to look back and say that I:
- helped build an excellent foundation for a loving partnership
- made a difference at work and grew in my career
- experimented with ways of living better and shared my results
- shared lots of ideas, questions, and insights with people
- lived another year of an awesome life.
… and looking back, I can say that and more.
Life as a 27 year old was mainly about preparation. W- and I got married in October in a ceremony as small as we could get away with – just us, immediate family, and practically-family friends. I'm glad we did. The paperwork helps us make our long-term plans more solid, and it feels great to namedrop "my husband." We celebrated my middle sister's wedding in May, too. I'm curious how married life will influence the way my sisters and I interact.
We learned a lot about communication while planning our wedding, mostly inspired by Jay Heinrich's excellent book Thank You for Arguing and our decision to keep both our names. I'm sure those skills will come in handy in the future as well. We've also been developing our teaching skills while helping J- and her friends learn more about math and other subjects. It's worth investing the time into making things understandable and enjoyable.
At work, I've been developing some very useful skills: gathering requirements; scoping and estimating projects; working with Drupal, Ruby on Rails, and Websphere (not all together, fortunately!); working with other companies and teams. It's been a bit more stressful because I've taken on more responsibilities, but it's good preparation for many possible next steps: consulting and development in IBM, or perhaps a startup if a business opportunity seizes my imagination. The richness of my extracurricular life means I've cut back a little on non-project work – the presentations I used to do, the communities I used to help out with – but I've still been able to help make many things happen.
Lots of preparations outside work as well. We've been tweaking our household routines – simplifying the kitchen, improving the entrance flow, reorganizing the living room. We've added more vegetables to our life thanks to a community-supported agriculture program with the stereotypical abundance of zucchini. I'm getting better at gardening. We got more vegetables and fruits out of the garden this year, although bitter melons were a non-starter. Oh yes, this was the year we disassembled a washing machine and a dryer in order to get the 27" machines down a 26" staircase. I hadn't seen that coming at all, but it was a wonderful experience.
Lots of reflection and analysis this year, too. With a few exceptions, I've been able to share at least one blog post a day for the past year, and that's been really helpful for reconstructing and remembering. The Quantified Self meetups in Toronto have been inspiring me to measure, analyze my decisions, and review them afterwards. Printing out my blog and flipping through the stories has helped, too. It's interesting reading things I've somewhat forgotten writing. There are my reflections on routinely waking up at 5 AM – did I, before? But it sounds like me, so I must have. Perhaps I'll try that again.
I'm getting better at drawing. I'm starting to feel more comfortable playing with colors and sketching ideas, relying less on the ability to nudge drawings into the right shape and more on the ability to repeat sketches until they feel right. I take informal sketchnotes at the events I go to, and I'm starting to develop note-taking and presentation workflows that fit me well.
I levelled up in terms of personal finance by opening a discount brokerage account and investing in index funds. The market has been up, down, and sideways, but I'm going to keep investing anyway. It's reassuring to see that nest egg grow, even though it grows slowly. While the returns are nowhere near the breathless rates I read about in personal finance books written before the financial crisis, they're okay. Updating my books makes me feel a little more grown-up, even though I don't go for anything more complicated than passive growth.
My interests shifted, unsurprisingly. I haven't sewed as much as I thought I would; other hobbies keep me busy. Working at home means I've been biking less than I used to. I haven't fired up our woodworking tools even once this summer. But there are new and renewed interests that fill my hours: writing, drawing, piano, learning Latin with W- and delighting in unexpected discoveries. For example, I learned cras is Latin for tomorrow, which made me think about the word "procrastinate" – ah, "for tomorrow", doesn't that make perfect sense now…
I think the year ahead of me – life as a 28-year-old – will be a year of slowing down, polishing, and finishing. It will be interesting. Drawings, links, and plans to follow.

Re: Babylon 5 vs Farscape
Maybe I'm a bit biased, but many people have said that the early episodes left something to be desired, but I've enjoyed all of them so far except for the one I never enjoy, which was I, ET. Loved Exodus and Throne for Loss is an episode where I think the actors started to get more comfortable in the roles, especially Black and Simcoe. Also, that last episode introduced the Tavloids (Tavleks) and that whole thing was funny.

Re: Babylon 5 vs Farscape
2. best storyline/plot - Farscape I guess. B5 had a lot of epic going to for it, but the resolution to the main storyline was a bit underwhelming. Farscape had a great story that kept building up.
3. best setting -Farscape, Moya was more interesting than the B5 station, the uncharted territories and the galaxy in general were more interesting than the B5 universe.
4. best themes - Ehh... who cares? I guess Farscape
5. best acting - Farscape. There were some really bad actors on B5.. yeah they had a couple of great ones... but Ben Browder was the best in his role across both series.
6. best music - Kind of a tie, Farscape was cooler, but B5 had some catchy classic sci-fi theme kind of stuff going on.
7. best special effects - Farscape, Babylon 5 looked like shit, especially in the first season. Props for the forward thinking widescreen, but then again they didn't bother to render the effects for widescreen. Also the effects on DVD have some awful artifacts... Farscape's computer generated stuff wasn't utterly fantastic either, but Jim Henson muppets for the win.
8. best ending/finale - I think the B5 finale was probably better than the Farscape wrapup.
9. best overall - Farscape, B5 was great and all, but when you pit 'em head to head Farscape wins on almost every level for me.

Re: Babylon 5 vs Farscape
Oh, and ignore references to "Muppets in space". It's an absolutely ludicrous comment / criticism, to put it as politely as possible.
As for the questions:
1. best characters - Farscape (just)
2. best storyline/plot - Babylon 5
3. best setting - tie. Both universes are fabulous.
4. best themes - Babylon 5
5. best acting - Farscape (just - IMO the acting in B5 is nowhere near as bad as a lot of people make it out to be, and Andreas Katsulas is - was - by far the best actor in either series)
6. best music - tie
7. best special effects - I don't care about SFX so no vote
8. best ending/finale - Babylon 5. "Sleeping in Light" is magnificent.
9. best overall - no vote. Along with B7, they rule.

Re: Babylon 5 vs Farscape
Both series have strengths and weaknesses. Farscape is more like science/fiction/fantasy. It has the strongest character arcs I have ever seen in this genre on television. Relations and interactions between Moya's crew and their adventures are usually lively , witty and often very tense and unpredictable. Most of these characters on Moya ( except main protogonist human astronout John Crichton ) are long serving prisoners , escaping at their first chance. They are survivors , trying to stay alive. And to do that sometimes they do commit acts which usual alturistic , optimist and one dimensional sci-fi characters can never consider. Every episode change the characters and their outlook to their enviroment. They usually bicker and argue about what to do. They remain likable but flawed. At the other hand drama , melodrama of this series sometimes balanced out with amazing humour....Really humour factor sometimes take Farscape audience to heavens but drama and serious air never let you go...Dark tones in story became effective in its last seasons. As for the production values they are first class. CGI is high quality even holds up in todays standarts. Concepts , creative writing and fictional universe is amazing. Puppet work is excellent ( no doubt Henson Studios is highly experienced about that ) so is make up , costumes etc for aliens.
Did I mention it also has the best romance story I have ever watched in science fiction ? And best antagonist character in this genre ? And a very sucessful ( although not perfect ) finale in Farscape : The Peacekeeper Wars mini series ?
Babylon 5 is somewhat different....Its strength is over reaching five year story arc ( in Farscape there are several highly effective character arcs )....It is pre planned with every detail... ( Farscape is not but it is usually consistent ) Characters sometimes might become stereotypes with their conversations and dialogues but real star of Babylon 5 is story itself...Just like Farscape it has epic storytelling...There is also political area in Babylon 5 which has its roots in actual Earth history ( xenaphopia , fear , causes of wars , rise of dictatorships , bias of media etc ) which I liked very much. At first it appears like standart sci-fi space opera set in space for "last best hope for peace." But then it becomes something much better....
In all I love both Farscape and Babylon 5. With Battlestar Galactica these three series are best and highest quality of space opera productions I have ever seen on television...And I do not think they would be surpassed for a long long time....

Re: Babylon 5 vs Farscape
I love B5 for the dramatic storylines, political intrigue, mythology and down to earth vision of the future. I love Farscape for the fantastic, evolving relationships between the characters, the humour and the delightfully screwed up storytelling. And I love both series for their characters.

Re: Babylon 5 vs Farscape
Farscape is the OT. Original, unique, groundbreaking, magical, unlike anything you've seen before and totally captivating.
Babylon 5 is the PT. Talky, wooden, dull, overly concerned with story instead of storytelling, but still has moments of sheer brilliance (mostly during seasons 3 and 4).
It is indeed like comparing apples and oranges. You can't really compare the two shows. But if you haven't seen either one, I'd recommend you start with Farscape.

Re: Babylon 5 vs Farscape
And to answer your question, Elemental: I choose Farscape over Babylon 5 because though I love B5's story and some of its characters, I felt more of an emotional attachment to Farscape's characters and their trials and tribulations. The deaths of certain major Farscape characters which I won't mention for the sake of those who haven't seen the show moved me more than the character deaths that occured on B5. The writing was better than B5's with its natural dialogue and witty non-chessy humor, and the special effects were better and a bit more advanced than B5's. I love B5's series finale Sleeping in Light but love Farscape's Peacekeeper Wars more as an ending that excites, delights, and saddens me and leaves me with peace of mind. Hell, I even love John and Aeryn's relationship more than John and Delenn's relationship because of the passion and love these two characters have for each other that can elevate them as well as burn them within an inch of their lives if they're not careful. I never really felt that with John and Delenn though I do like them as a couple.

Re: Babylon 5 vs Farscape
I think we can all agree that Babyscape 5 was the best space opera that never was (pity about the name, though).

Re: Babylon 5 vs Farscape
And you're being too kind to the OT. Hey I love it, but it's hardly unique - it's a cobbling together of a lot of pre-existing stuff: Arthurian legend, cowboy movies, WWII movies, coming-of-age stories, and lots of elements swiped from Marvel Comics (mutant superpowers, Doctor Doom). The Jedi are a mashup of the Bene Gesserit from Dune and Lensmen.
The characters were like people you'd meet at the mall, which made the movies very accessible, but the one element I think the PT is much better at, is creating a sense that we're dealing with an alien culture, that has many elements very similar to our own society, but in other ways is exotic and strange. Where the PT falls short is in taking those exotic characters and making them accessible anyway. The Clone Wars TV series is finally getting the balance between exoticism and accessibility right.

You could say that the cobbling together of those elements is what made the Star Wars movies and Farscape unique.

Re: Babylon 5 vs Farscape
Of course the thing is about Star Wars is it's a direct mashup. It quotes dialogue from old war movies. As a creator Lucas has always been big on nostalgia (aside from Indiana Jones, his homage to the serials of his youth, there's American Graffiti, homage to his youth directly, and even the arty THX begins by comparing its overmedicated protagonist to Buck Rogers...)
'Spock is always right, even when he's wrong. It's the tone of voice, the supernatural reasonability; this is not a man like us; this is a god.'

Journal Sentinel business reporter Tom Daykin talks about commercial real estate and development.
With Kohl's out, city considers options on downtown buildings
With Kohl's Corp. announcing it won't be moving downtown, Milwaukee officials face a decision on two buildings that a city affiliate controls through purchase options.
The former Palomar condos sales center, 520 W. McKinley Ave., and a storage building, at 1300 N. 4th St., operated by C. Coakley Relocation Systems, were optioned to help accommodate two parking structures that would have been built for Kohl's employees.
The city Redevelopment Authority spent $100,000 on options for the two properties, Development Commissioner Rocky Marcoux said.
If Kohl's had moved downtown, the Palomar building would have sold for $925,000, and the Coakley building would have sold for $2.3 million, Marcoux said at last week's meeting of the Common Council's Steering and Rules Committee.
Marcoux and Mayor Tom Barrett spoke to the committee after Ald. Bob Bauman asked for a public hearing on the Barrett administration's attempt to attract Kohl's. Bauman has criticized the secrecy that surrounded those efforts.
If the city decides to buy the properties--something that would require council approval--the $50,000 paid for each option would be applied to each separate purchase price. If the properties aren't purchased, the money used to secure the options cannot be recovered.
Also, Milwaukee Economic Development Corp., a nonprofit business lender affiliated with the city, formed an investors group which bought the Sydney Hih Building, at 300-318 W. Juneau Ave., as part of the city-county effort to land Kohl's.
That purchase was made for $769,000. The vacant, deteriorating building is to be demolished to make way for future development--even without Kohl's coming to the Park East strip, Marcoux said.
Marcoux said he went through MEDC to keep news of the Sydney Hih purchase private for as long as possible to avoid generating competing bids.
Also, Kohl's executives asked city officials to keep their dealings with the company confidential.
MEDC made the Sydney Hih purchase with cash reserves. The council will be asked to compensate the agency for the purchase.

Karzai orders withdrawal of US special forces from two provinces
Afghan President Hamid Karzai has ordered the withdrawal of US Special Forces from Wardak and Logar provinces within two weeks, accusing them of fuelling "insecurity and instability." "In today's national security council meeting, Afghan President Hamid Karzai ordered the ministry of defense to kick out the US Special Forces from Wardak and Logar provinces within two weeks," presidential spokesman Aimal Faizi said during a press conference on Sunday. Faizi added that US forces and "illegal armed groups created by them" were causing "insecurity and instability" and harassing local people in the two provinces. A US Forces Afghanistan spokesman said he was aware of the statements released on Sunday and that the accusation would be looked into. "We take all allegations of misconduct seriously and go to great lengths to determine the facts surrounding them," the spokesman said. "Until we have had a chance to speak with senior (Afghan) officials about this issue we are not in a position to comment further. This is an important issue that we intend to fully discuss with our Afghan counterparts." Karzai's move comes two days after US Secretary of State Defense Leon Panetta unveiled a proposal during a NATO meeting in Brussels, suggesting US and European forces remain in Afghanistan beyond the 2014 withdrawal plan. The US led the 2001 invasion of Afghanistan under the pretext of fighting the Taliban and al-Qaeda militants in the country. The offensive removed the Taliban from power, but after 11 years, insecurity remains in the country despite the presence of many US-led forces. The US-led war in Afghanistan, which has caused record-high civilian and military casualties, has become the longest military conflict in the American history. SZH/PKH

Gideon's Crossing : Season 1
- Network: ABC
- Series Premiere Date: Oct 10, 2000
- Starring: Andre Braugher, Rhona Mitra, Hamish Linklater
- Summary: Andre Braugher, the mercurial detective from NBC's "Homicide: Life on the Street," returns to television as chief of experimental medicine at a Boston hospital.
- Genre(s): Drama
- Season 1 premiere date: Oct 10, 2000
- Episode Length: 60
- Air Time: 10:00 PM
- More Details and Credits »
Score distribution:
Positive: 23 out of 27
Mixed: 4 out of 27
Negative: 0 out of 27
A masterful portrayal of the bleakness of the decision-making process within the medical profession, Gideon's Crossing is challenging and arresting television. It's a cerebral approach to issues of healing and loss, made all the more dramatic by the presence of Andre Braugher. [9 Oct 2000, p.4]
The responsibility for Gideon's Crossing rests with Braugher's appeal, and he's up to it. The rest is up to the scripts, to make Ben more human and the stories less dark and down. [10 Oct 2000, p.1]
This familiar package notwithstanding, the premiere of Gideon's Crossing delivers a complex and challenging main story of moral ambiguity as well as stunning performances by Andre Braugher as Gideon, Bruce McGill as a despotic patient with seemingly untreatable cancer and Russell Hornsby as chief resident Aaron Boies. [10 Oct 2000, p.F10]
Aside from the dismal possibility that Braugher's return to television could be a short one, should Gideon's Crossing fail, it would be a critical blow to shows that dare to be deep. [10 Oct 2000, p.2E]
Gideon needs to put more work into its secondary characters and a more relaxed faith in Braugher's talents. That would be enough to make Gideon truly special. [10 Oct 2000, p.1D]
The storylines, as we meet the staff, feel as though they've been plucked from "St. Elsewhere," but things were brighter there -- both literally and figuratively. [10 Oct 2000, p.47]
Gideon's Crossing is soulful and serious. It's also heavy-handed and ponderous, the equivalent of an hour with a philosophy grad student who just won't lighten up. [10 Oct 2000, p.C1]

What Is Sushi Grade Fish?
Ingredient Intelligence
Buying fish you'll be eating raw can be a little nerve-wracking, especially if you've never done it before. It's expensive and you want to make sure it's safe to consume, so here's a guide on what to look for and what questions you should be asking.
When You Need the Whole Crew to Make Crab Cakes
Kitchn Diary: Anne in South Carolina
I love the beach, the more old school, the better. I like sitting on the beach with a book and a cold cocktail in a Tervis tumbler, dipping my feet in the bucket reserved for that purpose to rinse off the sand before I go inside. I like to cook in a barely air conditioned kitchen with worn, wood floors and just enough light to make the food look pretty. Coffee tastes best on a hot screen porch overlooking the ocean, shrimp tastes better over grits, and crab cakes are even more delicious when you pick the crab yourselves, no matter how much work it is. It's like a team building exercise for the whole family!
How To Cook Salmon in the Oven
Cooking Lessons from The Kitchn
If you want "easy, fancy," it doesn't get much better than roasted salmon fillets. It can be a mid-week date night, an al fresco meal with friends, or dinner with the in-laws, and salmon will rise to the occasion.
Today, we're showing you the easiest, simplest way to cook salmon in the oven. It's the kind of recipe to keep in your back pocket — though it's hardly a recipe at all. Make it once and you'll never wonder what to do with salmon again.

Five Expert Tips For Choosing the Best Fish Sauce

Now that you know all about how fish sauce is traditionally made, how do you pick a bottle from all of the many options at your local Asian market? I talked to Mr. Hai, an expert fish sauce maker in Sa Chau, Vietnam to get his take.
What Are the Best Ways to Dress Up a Simple Salmon Fillet?
Good Questions
Q: I almost always have a package of small frozen salmon filets (about 4 ounces each) in my freezer. They're a quick and healthy protein to have on hand. But I struggle to find the perfect method of cooking them, and I am in need of some simple ideas for toppings, sauces or marinades that I can use to spice up the plain filets.
When Everyone In the Village Makes Fish Sauce: A Profile of Sa Chau, Vietnam

Who: The village of Sa Chau
What: Fish sauce
Where: Sa Chau, Nam Dinh, Vietnam
In Vietnam, it's common for entire villages to be occupied in making one thing. Bat Trang village makes pottery. Chuong village makes the famous conical hats called "non." Phu Do is the home of rice noodles. And, as we saw yesterday in a profile of fish sauce makers Vu Thi Hoa and Vu Van Hai, Sa Chau, a small town off the coast of northern Vietnam, makes fish sauce.
How Fish Sauce Is Made: A Visit With a Fish Sauce Maker in Sa Chau, Vietnam

Who: Vu Thi Hoa and Vu Van Hai
What: Fish sauce
Where: Sa Chau, Vietnam
Vu Van Hai makes fish sauce in the yard of his house. Urns of finished sauce line up next to vats of aging fish, baskets for straining the liquid out of the fish, and ceramic bowls for separating out the good stuff. When it comes to fish sauce, it doesn't get any more authentic than this.
Mr. Hai's setup is common in Sa Chau, Vietnam. The small coastal town has a deep history of making fish sauce. I talked to the experts in Sa Chau to find out how they make their sauce, from fish to bottle, and all the mysterious steps in between.

if you could start from scratch, and build it up from the frame all the way to the streamers on the handle bars--
what would your perfect urban-suburban-weekend touring bike be like?
for me it would be about resolving contradictions:
+ very lightweight..but indestructible, capable of crashing through potholes and over speedbumps
+ straight bars...but long enough frame or other configuration to crouch down
+ fast, intuitive shifting...but simple--maybe a smaller rear cluster, with slightly wider range from cog to cog--or perhaps just two rings up front--not to mention, a final low gear to handle 18% slopes
+ good handling...but happy with a loaded luggage bag / pannier (like Topeak's setup) on the rear.
in other words--like the perfect wife--sexy, but practical

Graham Hancock and Robert Bauval With Evidence From Our Ancient Past
- Uploaded by MadReefer on Mar 20, 2014
- Views: 2514
Graham Hancock and Robert Bauval, authors of the best selling book The Message of the Sphinx, present startling evidence from our ancient past. One of the most intriguing pieces of evidence pointing to a forgotten period of time in human history is a series of ancient maps which show extremely accurate details of the Earth from at least 12000 years ago. The Orontius Phineas, Piri Reis, and Mercator map all show parts of the Earth that were only present during pre-deluvian times, as well as inexplicably accurate drawings of the topography of Antarctica.These drawings of what Antarctica looked like beneath the ice, could only have been achieved if ancient man had technology at least equal to what we have today.

Does the starter motor crank? Cranking rpms ok? If so, I think your starter is ok. Id use a digital multimeter across battery posts, everything off, the generic spec for a full charge is around 12.6 volts. Leave leads hooked up to battery posts, have a helper turn key to crank, how far does the voltage reading drop? Shouldn't drop below 9.6 volts, generic spec.

It's Me, Ernie
"That" Corrie Sanders would have still whipped Klit. He just had his number, like Vernon had Sugar Shane's. Corrie didn't back down and wasn't intimidated like the long list of Austins and cruiserweights have been. They stood toe to toe and Corrie got off first, every time. Styles make fights, yesterdays event wasn't a fight, it was a typical Wladdie borefest/stinker. Wlad retreated when the much smaller Povetkin even thought he was going to step forward, force the clinch, layed on top of Pov to the point of embarrassment for the sport, yet the nuthuggers still claim their hero is the GOAT. I wish I could write comedy like that…Posted October 6, 2013 12:50 pm
JUST AS I THOUGHT A CROSS BREED.Posted October 5, 2013 3:55 pm
anonymous wigger, "they" will "roll out" the most willing and able fighter. wlad has never ducked anyone. you know 0 about boxing.Posted October 5, 2013 3:28 pm
GREAT FIGHTERS MAKE GREAT FIGHTS, NOT GREAT HYPE.Posted October 5, 2013 3:18 pm
This pundit says.., "I doubt that Povetkin is even close to being as good as the 6'4" South African Corrie Sanders was when he destroyed Wladimir in 2 rounds in 2003."
Povetkin would defeat a peak Sanders very easily… You cannot take one upset victory and extrapolate what would happen in another fight.. Sanders was a HUGE underdog and expected to get KO'd early.
Wladimir is the only good fighter Sanders ever beat. Sanders got stopped by Vitali Klitschko, Hasim Rahman, and guys you never heard of.
Sanders had specific talents that let him take advantage of specific flaws in Wladimir's style, stance, skill set, and defense. Nobody else could exploit them the way he did… Corrie fought the right guy, at the right time.. But that Sanders wouldn't last with today's Wladimir.
Sometimes an ordinary fighter sees a great fighter and knows he can beat him.. Often times it's delusional — but sometimes it's not.
Ralph Jones after losing 5 fights in a row said.., "Everybody is laughing at me, but I know I will beat Sugar Ray Robinson.. I knew it the first time I saw Ray fight.. I'm way too strong, fast, and aggressive for him.. There is no way in the world Robinson can beat me."
There's an ancient saying, "Styles make fights."Posted October 5, 2013 2:58 pm
I have no idea why someone would use my name. But below is not my post–not that anyone cares.Posted October 5, 2013 1:02 pm
AFTER THIS, THEY WILL JUST ROLL OUT ANOTHER BIG SLOW BUM.Posted October 5, 2013 9:48 am
Wlad respects Alexander Povetkin alright. Pov won everything in the amateurs, a fighter of pedigree and he's an undefeated pro. He ain't no fool. WK has to be right on the night himself or he can lose his title. If Wlad is 100% right and everything is on the level, I expect him to win clearly.Posted October 5, 2013 8:10 am
your an idiot if you think Sanders, Puritty, Lamon Brewster, David Haye, Ray Mercer and Tony Thompson have more talent and would beat povetkin.Anything is possible but povetkin won a gold medal in the olympics so i think he has some good talent.Posted October 5, 2013 7:33 am
Floyd Mayweather and Miguel Cotto had nothing but nice things to say about each other… You don't have to invent conflict where none exists to hype a fight.. That's for children and reality TV shows.Posted October 5, 2013 3:00 am

Revenue History
UW total revenues have grown consistently, with the exception of 2008 and 2009. These two years were impacted by significant market declines in the value of investments. Unrealized losses in those years were recovered to a significant degree by 20111
The UW has a diversified revenue base. No single source generated more than 34% of the total fiscal year 2014 revenues of $5.8 billion. Grant revenues have increased significantly over the ten year period in total dollars, but average about 30% of total revenues. The growth in grants in 2010 and 2011 relate primarily to funding received by the UW related to the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009.
Patient service revenues and tuition revenues have increased as a percentage of total revenues as well as in absolute dollars, driven by growth in UW Medicine operations, and increasing tuition rates, respectively. The percentage of revenues from state support has declined precipitously over the last ten years, from a high of 12% of total revenues in 2004 to 5% of total revenues in 20142. "Other" includes unrealized gains and losses on investments, which have been rather volatile over the past several years.

Herman Cain
Herman Cain's Wife Says 'He Totally Respects Women'
Gloria Cain, who has preferred to stay mostly out of spotlight so far during the race for the 2012 Republican presidential nomination, has now been heard from about the sexual harassment charges leveled at her husband, GOP contender Herman Cain.
In a pre-recorded interview that will air tonight during Fox News Channel's On the Record with Greta Van Susteren, Gloria Cain says her husband "totally respects women." And, she adds, "I look at especially this last lady and the things that she said" — an apparent reference to Sharon Bialek — and "he would have to have a split personality to do the things that she said."

Beige, black, dark red and maybe a touch of pewter could be among the hot nail colors next fall, says Rebecca Isa, color expert for Cleveland-based Zoya nail polish. Backstage at the recent Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week, Isa noted that the colors featured in runway shows often are indicators of what hues you�ll see on the streets months later.
Before the Noon by Noor runway show, as Zoya nail technicians polished models� nails a deep red called Norra, Isa also offered an easy nail art trick. The base of each nail near the cuticle was left bare in the shape of a half moon. It gives shorter nails an elongated look, she said, and it�s not hard to do at home.
Remember the paper rings you used to keep notebook paper from tearing out of your binders in school? Cut them in half and place them at the base of each nail. Polish around the rings, remove them when it�s dry and you�re left with a perfect half-moon design.

Brighter skin, yummy scent
The product: Ole Henriksen Truth Serum Collagen Booster
The pitch: Use this non-oil serum that�s infused with vitamin C (yay, citrus!) and green tea to reduce the signs of aging and make your skin brighter, smoother and younger looking if you use it daily.
The price: $48-$68, depending on size, at Sephora. (To find a store or shop online: sephora.com. Also at amazon.com.)
The pros: Absorbs easily, doesn�t make face feel slick or sticky. It does make skin look brighter. Not sure if we look younger, but we do feel less like a victim of winter�s drabness. And � maybe best of all � it smells kind of like a glazed doughnut.
The cons: The price. And if you�re dieting, the scent.
The bottom line: We cannot lie. This Ole Henriksen Truth Serum is good stuff.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- A University of Tennessee research assistant's online diligence has resulted in a second stolen letter from Andrew Jackson being returned to its rightful owner.
In the latter case, Assistant Professor Tom Coens spotted a letter written by Jackson in 1824 before he became president. The letter was to friend and campaign supporter Maj. Samuel Swartwout, declining a campaign appearance.
Coens told The Knoxville News Sentinel he had seen the letter on microfilms he borrowed from the New York State Library.
He found it in March on an Internet auction site, with an asking price of $35,000.
New York state officials recovered it.
Three years ago, Coens reported an 1814 letter from Jackson he found on the Internet and it, too, was recovered.

I've had the chance to play with the Nokia Lumia 1020 a few times in the last week and I've decided to bite the bullet and upgrade. Tomorrow I'll be calling in to the AT&T store to grab a yellow unit and start taking epic photography with the 41 million pixels it packs.
And not long after I take delivery of my 1020 I'll be looking to set it up as a UAV (Unmanned Ariel Vehicle). Those eagle eyes guys at WPCentral spotted that Lehmann Aviation is producing the world's first drone that uses a cell phone with a high resolution camera. The LA300 is a drone that has been designed to use the Lumia 1020 for orthophotographs and digital elevation model shots. Basically, it gets you a 3D model of terrain.
All of this can be controlled from OperationCenter – a Windows 8 app that helps to manage the whole flight process – from mission preparation to controlling and geotagging images.

Hounds & High Hopes...
Friday, 27 November 2015 00:10
By Heather Lendway (heatherlendway.com)
Austin 70.3 Race Report - Going into Austin I was pretty nervous. After an awesome result in Vegas I had high hopes for this race. The start list was a much deeper field than I expected for a lower point/$ race but I guess there are a lot of ladies that want a head start on next year. Typically you can count on a few people not showing up race day but only a couple key players dropped out so I knew I'd have to have a stellar day to have a chance at another podium.
Race morning was chilly, about 45 degrees with a strong wind off the lake. I had five layers on and was still a bit cold. Transition was a mud pit. Austin had major flooding the two weeks prior and it rained the day before so there wasn't much grass left. I walked through transition trying to pick out the path from the lake that would have the smallest probability of me doing some mud slip and slide in T1. I finished my gear prep and per usual Lendway style I headed down to the lake about 15 minutes before race start to pull my wetsuit on. Since the sun was just rising I decided to break out a new pair of reflective Blueseventy Nero Race goggles – they were perfectly clear.
* Water temp was about 69 which was perfect wet suit weather. I warmed up quickly and knew right away I'd feel warm enough heading out on the bike.
* The ladies took off two minutes after the men. I went out a bit harder than usual to make sure I'd be in the lead or on the feet of the leader. READ MORE

MINNESOTA MULTISPORT AWARDS - To many, picking MICHELLE ANDRES' dominating victory at Ironman Wisconsin was a slam dunk in the women's PERFORMANCE OF THE YEAR category, and we would never claim that it wasn't worthy. Yes, it did win the trophy, but for several Selectors, it wasn't quite a slam dunk.

MINNESOTA MULTISPORT AWARDS - One of the most difficult categories to figure out was MOST IMPROVED women. Great arguments could be, and were, made for each of the nominees. The first factor that the Selectors considered was Team Minnesota placement in 2014 relative to this year. Here's how that broke down:
GABY BUNTEN - Ranked 12th in 2014; 5th in 2015 - Moved 7 places.
SHEENA DAUER - Ranked between 17th-20th in 2014; 9th in 2015 - Moved 9-11 places.

Sunday, 22 November 2015 06:10
MINNESOTA MULTISPORT AWARDS - Though most Selectors agreed that KEVIN O'CONNOR (photo L) deserved this year's male MASTER OF THE YEAR award, two committee members argued that the prize should go to TONY SCHILLER. They invoked a compelling Age Grading argument and claimed that Tony's two national AG titles, plus a Gold and Silver at Worlds, trumped Kevin's overall national sprint du title, two silvers at Tri Nationals and eight outright victories. The majority of the voters disagreed, citing the fact that since the millennial turn, no Minnesota master has won more races in a single season than did KO. That he was ultimately ranked 2nd on Team Minnesota sealed the deal in his favor.
The other nominees--JAMES HANNON and RICH HEILMAN--raced brilliantly, but less often than O'Connor and Schiller....

1995 All Other Makes
My 95 passport is idling terrible. I just had an anti-freeze leak fixed last week and starting yesterday when I start the car, it sounds like something is grinding in the engine. The grinding noise stops when the car is in gear and i'm accelerating. However, as soon as I come to a stop or begin braking, it begins again. Also, when I start up the car, the oil pressure gauge reads around 55lb/in2 with the car only in park. The oil pressure decreases to around 35lb/in2 once the car's temperature has risen.
i am worried I am burning up my engine. As I no almost nothing about the internal workings of a car, I am begging for some help with this.
thank you.

The Integrated Liberal Studies Program offers an interdisciplinary approach to the study of the basic subjects in the liberal arts curriculum. Its faculty members - all excellent teachers and scholars - are drawn from many programs and departments at the UW-Madison. This diversity enables the ILS Program to offer the different subject areas needed to satisfy the breadth requirement and for a sound liberal education.
ILS is a coherent program for students and offers an alternative to scattered electives. The ILS Program offers courses in the sciences, the humanities, and the social sciences. Students will find at least 12 credits of ILS courses in each of the required areas and so can complete their breadth requirements entirely with the ILS program.
Declaring an ILS Certificate may be accomplished any time during the year and does not need to be added to UW-Madison admission forms! Please stop by Meiklejohn House or email the ILS Program email@example.com for more information.
"Virtually every ILS class threatens to fundamentally change the way you
see the world."
Eric Schmidt,
Political Science Major
"Some of the best professors on campus teach ILS classes, and they love the program as much as the students! How many other programs offer Aristophanes, Nietzsche and Jon Stewart in the same class?"

I love that Dillard's shows the inside of the handbags so I could see the 3 sections! It does exactly what I wanted it to do with the 3 sections inside, one zippered and I put my keys in one of the outside pockets and my cell phone in the other. It is of excellent quality!

I got this bag in Cincinnati Dillard's a day after my birthday, which was Sept. 27. It is STILL in pristine shape, i just love love this bag. I love the fact that it has real leather on the straps and compartments. The only problem I have is the length of the leather straps, they seems a tad too short. This bag is definitely worth the price! My next task is to find a good matching wallet or coin purse for it.

text: Man Accused of Killing Wife, Posting Photo on Facebook Miami murder allegedly started as domestic dispute By Neal Colgrass, Newser Staff Posted Aug 8, 2013 4:26 PM CDT STORY COMMENTS (55) (Newser) – Unreal: A South Miami man reportedly posted a photo of his dead wife on Facebook—just after taking her life, CBS Miami reports. Derek Medina, 31, posted the photo of wife Jennifer Alfonso bent over backward in the kitchen of a townhouse with blood on her arm and face. "I'm going to prison or death sentence for killing my wife love you guys miss you guys take care Facebook people you will see me in the news," reads a separate post on Medina's page. "My wife was punching me and I am not going to stand anymore with the abuse so I did what I did I hope you understand me," the post adds. About 15 hours before, Medina had changed his profile photo to show himself, a young girl, and a woman. A 10-year-old girl was at home during Alfonso's death but wasn't injured. Afterward, Medina went to police and confessed to shooting his wife, saying it all started with a domestic dispute. See more pics, including a blurred version of the death photo, at the Daily News.

Many women investors feel ignored or intimidated by the financial planning process, but that shouldn't keep you sidelined, especially since the stakes are so high. These decisions could have an impact on your quality of life for decades. In fact, 90% of all women will have sole control of their finances at some point in their lives. You need to be intimately involved in any decisions that affect your money, and that starts with taking a proactive role.
I have heard so many times, "my husband takes care of all that." Don't you think you should know what "all that" is so you can be prepared should something happen to him? Whether it be divorce or death, face it ladies, most of us are going to be in charge of our own finances at some point in our lives!! Don't wait until a time of sorrow and stress to educate yourself.
