hey there
It's these posts that are the most difficult for me to write, of course, because they are real, and the closer I am to the present the even more real. The posts that involve our day-to-day struggles, our past, and anything that holds the weight for us, they require the sweet and fearful step of vulnerability to share.
However, I believe our challenges are in place to lead us to higher ground. I believe that if I'm going through something difficult, then it's my responsibility to share the tools that I have learnt so far, to give absolutely everything and anything I can towards being able to help even just one person by one sentence.
Sharing our stories is essential, as it's the only way that we can ensure that as many people as possible do not feel alone
FOR MORE OF MY HEALTH JOURNEY: You can read about my Fibromyalgia diagnosis here, my treatment here and my experience with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder here.
autoimmune disease
Anyway, this is post is where I am going to bring my story a little more up-to-date. And right now, I'm not feeling too great, which means it is the EXACT right time to share.
In 2006 I was diagnosed with hashimoto's hypothyroidism, one of many autoimmune diseases out there in the world, and one of the most popular. In short, it means my body is attacking my thyroid. When I look back at my health history, I start to consider that perhaps my fibromyalgia was in fact an early onset of this autoimmune disease, or perhaps both of them are just the offset from a really really leaky gut. I tend to not get scientific, aside from my own research into what could be going on with my body, I like to read and feel things out.
One of the things that resonates the most with me is that there is something that is underlying that contributes to or causes many illnesses such as chronic pain and so on. The fact that my health was drastically improved via changing my diet links to that the leaky gut is a major contributing factor to mine and many conditions that we see today. If you would like to read more about leaky gut syndrome I very much recommend reading the many wonderful and informative blogs by Sarah Wilson.
I was always told that I was starting to produce antibodies, Thyroid antibodies so at some point in the future I was going to get a thyroid disease. In 2006 when I was feeling so much healthier and starting to be able to be living a full life again, I felt that I was not quite right and I was referred to see a endocrinologist. If you are in the UK I highly recommend Professor Chew at the London clinic, he's been so helpful and supportive to me. As soon as I had my bloods run it was discovered that my Hashimoto's was at that point where it could be treated, if I wanted. Now, you are aware that I have always chosen holistic methods for healing, but this time I felt happy to start the replacement thyroid hormone, Thyroxine. I knew of course that I would be complementing it with as many self care methods as possible.
At that point though, in 2006 I was just starting to get into my rebellious mode, testing my body after feeling 'ok' for the first time in what felt like forever. Realistically though, looking back, I was still in shock from the whole experience, the FMS and the PTSD, but I was ok and I felt high. I settled back into a life where I was eating sugar again and drinking; my diet was not my main priority.
A few years later my early Hashimoto's symptoms, which were more on the hyper side of things switched into the typical Hashimoto's symptoms as always everybody symptoms are so unique and there is nothing that I support more then learning to tune in and feel your own body. If you're reading this and you have Hashimoto's, no doubt your experiences and symptoms will be different to mine. I speak not as a professional, but merely as a woman having an experience.
There was a link between me starting the work that I do now and managing my health in a new and more positive way.
Many of you may notice that as you step into your more authentic self, it becomes more difficult to be
in authentic in other areas of your life.
Alongside the Hashimoto's diagnosis I was noted as anaemic with severe vitamin d and calcium deficiencies.
my thoughts on MY diagnosis
The whole point of this post is that I want to share with you the way that I manage my Hashimoto's. Whilst I believe at first when we get the diagnosis from a doctor or certain practitioner it is a HUGE relief (and of course in many cases it is life saving, but I'm addressing my experiences here.) Many of you, like me, have experience going from doctor to doctor, from website to website and know the sense of shouting out into the abyss and hoping someone will understand you. When we get the diagnosis, we feel SO EXCITED but then the negative flip side can be that we start to wear it is a label.
One of the big factors in my recovery many years ago, from the chronic pain and post-traumatic stress was that I chose to believe that I could feel good again. If I had stuck with a diagnosis of Fibromyalgia I would have been locked in the "There is no cure" belief, and it would have separated me even more from my body. I also had cheerleaders in place, who told me every day told me that I was going to get better. I believe this is pivotal to the reason that I did. When we start wearing our diagnosis as a label it can be difficult to tune into how we really feel, and it really complements that thought that we might be 'broken'. So I think if we can accept the diagnosis, educate ourselves on the matter THEN surrender it all up and listen to our bodies we have a really great tune in to what is happening. It's the same reason I think it is not always a good thing to refer to ourselves as having for instance 'anxiety disorders' and believing that means we can never be anxiety free. As you may know one of my big passions is anxiety, panic and trauma, because I feel good and have tools for all three, and no I would have never imagined i'd be free from the fear they brought.
So, today I kind of skip between two feelings.
- One: is that I remove myself completely from this label and listen to my body, care for my body, and treat it as and when it feels out of balance.
- The alternative: is that when I have a flare in my system and I feel truly unwell, I have realized it is important for me to remember that my system is acting up. It Is this reminder to myself that takes me back to being gentle and kind to myself. It is though a difficult back and forth. Having a chronic illness involves dealing with a lot of anger and frustration.
As I write this today, (or actually as I am shouting this at my computer and practicing using the dictation!) I am feeling sad and upset with my body. A few hours ago I started breaking out in hives, and as I lay here one of them is in the corner of my eye and is really irritating me. So, it felt like this was the best time to write this post, When I could really be really truthful with how I feel at the moment and in general.
I consider myself to be someone that is thriving with an autoimmune disease because I do not like to consider myself as sick or unwell. I fight the feeling, when it comes up, that there is something wrong with me, that I'm faulty in someway. I believe we are always exactly where we are supposed to be, experiences included. It is important that you never consider yourself to be broken.
I feel grateful to be able to feel good most of the time. When I do not feel good, I refer to myself as feeling 'off balance' or having a 'flare'. Each time, it is slightly different. Right now it is a new type of struggle, that is requiring me to reach for new insights and ideas.
I also know people who have been able to reduce their antibodies, to take their medication down to zero, all sorts of wonderful things. I am so open to feeling GREAT!
how my hashimoto's feels – symptoms
If I am in a flare I get one or all of the following. It's rare because of how I look after myself, but for instance if I eat sugar, experience stress/adrenal flare or get too tired then these are the familiar things.
- Hives – I wil break out in hives on my face. I have come to understand that I also have histamine intolerance, another thing I find SO interesting and encourage you to look into if you have anything such as migraines, hay fever, allergies, immune disorders, and actually anything! I was lucky enough to meet Yasmina this week, and her work is game changing.
- Sore skin and body – If I'm really flaring then my entire body feels like a bruise.
- Feeling cold – A classic thyroid thing, I'm mostly cold, hence why this move to LA feels so good!
- Sound issues – Everything will be too loud, a small sound will make me cry. I need to be alone, and in silence.
- Internal tremors – An annoying one, it's like having extra heartbeats, an internal shiver. I have it a lot at the moment, I can get it when my neck is out of place, due to Magnesium deficiency, tiredness or you know, just because.
- Extreme fatigue – that old trick.
The great thing is that this is a small selection of what I could be getting and could be having every day. This is why I prioritise self care, cause it means I get to not feel shitty all of the time.
I Do not prioritise stress
Research has shown that over 80% of illnesses are caused by stress. From this, there is a simple answer to what could it be the priority in returning our bodies to balance. Uhhhh the opposite of stress! So why don't we get it? I have learned through my many clients, and interest in people and their ways, that humans love to prioritise stress. The thing is, it just doesn't cut it for me anymore.
I like to think of my levels of stress as a reserve system. I believe much of our stress can be a choice. I know that whilst many things can flare my body to create and in balance with my system, nothing flares me more than being under stress.
When I talk about a reserve system, It's a decision that I only want to be under stress when it is something that is out of my control. There are many events that cause distress, unexpected change, moving house, you know the ones.
I figure that outside those surprise things, my adrenal system deserves to rest as much as possible so I therefore have no interest in choosing stress at any other time. This may sound too simple a suggestion, but check in with yourself right now and ask, in how many ways do you make stress a priority in your life?
- Do you involve yourself in petty dramas amongst your friends or colleagues?
- Do you get angry when you're in a traffic jam or waiting at the post office?
- How often do you gather stress from negative ways that you punish or are unkind to yourself?
It might be that you read that and are thinking, but my life IS stressful, all of the time. Of course that is true, and there are many people who will be living out a high stress life, but this is where our self help journeys and powers of perception can be practiced. Even in the busiest, craziest, saddest day there are still so many moments where we can choose to not rise to the possible drama. Even just as an experiment, consider it, because after all, when has prioritising negative stress ever felt good?
There is also always the option to be kind to ourselves in any situation.
I BELIEVE IN a morning practice, a faith in my journey + constant discovery
The easiest and quickest way to start prioritising your wellness practice is to set up morning practice. You can read my last post here and start immediately. Taking even five minutes at the start of each day to value your time and get present can be totally transformative for your health.
I know that if I didn't stop each day to give myself time, to feel my feelings, to check in, then I wouldn't be able to feel as good as I am able. It's a no brainer, give it a shot… and yes you DO have time.
I also have a faith in my journey, which I mention a little here. To have faith you don't need to be part of a religion or believe in God. You can just trust the ground you are walking. It helps to build it up little by little, to keep returning to a space of thinking where you consider that every moment is co coordinating to take you forwards, all the moments, including the sad and the bad. Trust in self is difficult but it is worth practicing.
It also interest me on a spiritual/holistic perspective the reason we get the imbalances we do. AI disease is the body attacking itself, so I also like to check in why and where might I be attacking myself. The thyroid is also the throat chakra governing voice. I work with these things by always trying to be fully authentic, to not dampen my spirit, to express my self with my work and creativity and of course, again, to be kind to myself.
I THRIVE VIA nutrition + holistic therapies
This is as at the top for me with the above, and something else that is totally free and accessible. It will no longer serve us to not connect our mind to our body, to dismiss that what goes into our bodies is a direct link to how we feel. Your brain is inside your body, your body works as a system. Every part of you deserves to, HAS TO be valued. Everything about you, Your experiences. Your physical body, and your emotions, They are all part of the same thing.
I do not believe that I would have recovered from chronic pain or thrive with this Hashimoto's if I did not change my diet. I currently follow a low histamine, Auto Immune Protocol AIP diet with no sugar or sugar substitutes (sugar makes me feel awful pretty instantly – doesn't make a difference if it's a 'safe' sugar either.) which works for me. If you are suffering with a thyroid condition or even FMS and are still in an eating regime that is full of sugar, stimulants, processed food and high grains, then I can only recommend experimenting with the AIP diet, or gut healing diet for 8 week to reset and see if you notice significant change. Changing your diet, as I mentioned before, is not easy, but if you prioritise feeling good then it is SO easy.
I have done many trials and errors, and it's still a process. Your body is unique to you and will speak to you if you let it. I believe the industry is a little overwhelmed with types of diets an way that we should be eating. If we all stop to listen to our bodies, then we will know how to eat. If I followed some of the 'healthy diets' out there I could feel significantly unwell, this is why I choose to constantly return to self awareness for healing.
If you don't feel good then go and see a nutritionist and give it a shot. I notice that a problem is, that the average person doesn't know what it feels like to feel good. We believe that it's 'normal' to wake up tired, to have that 3pm slump, to always have a blocked nose, to get headaches etc. This is not how a clear body feels – believe that you can feel wide awake and amazing! and research into how to pursue that feeling.
My favourite documentary or recent times is That Sugar Film – a good reminder to be aware of what you are eating.
I get Craniosacral therapy (my all time favourite therapy!), Acupuncture as often as possible, give myself Energy healing daily and check in for more EMDR if needed.
I also now have a full cabinet of only natural make up and products. Did you know that it takes less than a minute for what you put on your skin to get into your system? Good one to think about when using harsh chemicals, and if you don't believe me then crush and rub some garlic between your toes and see how long it is before you taste it in your mouth!
I KNOW THAT movement HELPS ME
I also try and do as much connecting to my physical body as possible, but I'm not a gym junkie. I love to walk and i enjoy yoga and pilates, sometimes. I have realised it'a all about connecting to a state of expansion. When I feel afraid, sad or angry about my health I know that I'm in a restricted state of mind and to walk out of the house gets things moving. Here in LA, I will march out and climb up to the Observatory and view the whole city. It never doesn't feel good.
Currently each morning I'm doing 30 Days of Yoga with Adriene and I also love Blogilates. The goal is always to be gentle on myself but to make some sort of movement to propel myself through a stuck feeling. If I'm in chronic pain then the alternative may be to just REST or lay on the floor – listening to the body is always a priority.
I PRACTICE Body love
A big topic. I don't know anyone who hasn't at some point criticized their appearance, yes especially those people that you think have nothing to complain about.
To overcome my own body anxieties I again have to constantly return to making feeling good a priority, not being thin, or looking attractive. My body sits at a certain weight and will go up/down 10lbs once during the year. It's been like this for the past 8 years. I've learned that to get thinner than this stable place I have to eat nothing, I mean ZERO, and that's not really a route I am interested in.
Do I get annoyed that I see people around me stuffing themselves with sugar and get to live in a body half my size? sure! but do I choose to punish myself based upon that? Well, as little as possible. I have studied anatomy and physiology and I know how hard the body works for us, it's kind of insane, and I don't want to be mean to mine anymore. I practice body gratitude every day.
"I am grateful for my body" – on repeat, especially when I'm perhaps not so keen on what I see in the mirror.
If you struggle with body image, make the focus feeling good not being thin, it causes a tremendous shift. This leads me on to my next point.
I RECOGNISE MY FearS and PRACTICE body safety
Via my chronic pain and ptsd of the past I have discovered that the absolute safest place to be is IN the body and mind. However, we want to check out when we are in pain, physical or mental, but feeling it ALL is the way to return to balance. Hence why I teach 'feeling feelings' to all my clients!
BUT, of course I often struggle to feel safe in my body, I am really battling with that right now. The thing is I know I am safe, but sometimes the weird things that happen seem to try to trick me otherwise. I have been gifted a very intense tune in to my body from the past experiences. I swear I can hear my insides, I know when a joint is out of place, when I'm off balance and so on. It's amazing, um but also kind of LOUD. I think it comes as a thyroid thing, this heightened senses thing.
Managing anxiety involves listening to the body and affirming that you are safe. There are of course cases where you know you might need help or are in danger, but that is also a thing to be learned. Something I had a lot when I was in chronic pain was very severe chest pain, and a lot of numbness in the body. The fear makes us reach for 'heart attack heart attack' and I did get that checked, had all the tests, but it turned out to be inflammation in the muscles between the ribs. Funny how we sometimes forget there are muscles and nerves EVERYWHERE. So I learned that my chest pain was safe, it wasn't comfortable but it was safe.
Some of the things my body does can feel totally mad, things that someone who didn't know it was safe would be off to the ER in an instant. I recognize the pains, the tremors, the rushes of hormones, they don't always feel good but they are familiar, and I don't freak out BUT I do still head for that "why meeee" place, sometimes often, sometimes rarely. I still have points where I almost wish I wasn't so in tune with my body.
I've noted my body fear is quite prominent right now, from moving to a new country and city, one where I didn't have my therapists and healers to hand, where I don't yet 'know' the medical system. I'm building up my safety here and constantly reminding myself that I am safe.
"I am safe in my body" – This is your mantra for familiar symtoms, it leads you back to your body, to home, and to the present moment. It's internal reassurance.
The other thought pattern to work with is "I feel ***, and it's ok" so it might be that you feel anxious, or you feel unsafe, or in pain, anything and the 'it's ok' is self soothing and draws you back to the body/mind connection.
In the last few weeks I've noted some unprocessed trauma rearing up from when I was more seriously unwell. I am also now careful to be noting the difference between a physical symptom and a feeling of anxiety or fear. I'm working through it, and excited to break through to a new stage of feeling good!
I just started reading Walking the Tiger by Peter A Levine and love this quote:"
"Traumatic symptoms are not caused by the triggering event itself. They stem from the frozen residue of energy that has not resolved and discharged; this residue remains trapped in the nervous system where it can wreak havoc on our bodies and spirits."
I PRACTICE Forgiveness
Feeling feelings. One of the biggest things that I try to make a part of my every day, is forgiveness. It's so easy to be angry at our bodies or minds when they feel like they are attacking us, SO angry and pissed off, and sad and that overwhelming feeling of just wanting to be NORMAL. It's normal to have these feelings, but it's important to know that is IS safe to reconnect to the self.
"I forgive my body, I forgive my mind, I forgive myself.
I recognise that we are all working together, in safety and in love.
I am safe in my body and It is safe for me to be present."
ALL The rest
I'm not going into more detail here because I speak about my methods of thinking in other posts, but it goes without saying that the ways of thinking that I have been practicing for so many years now are my constant life savers, and;
It all comes back to being kind to ourselves, looking after ourselves, not punishing ourselves. This is the biggest thing humans struggle with, but if you're out there wondering what your life purpose might be, then let me assure you;
Your life purpose is NOT to be unkind to yourself.
It's to gain knowledge, evolve, value, cherish, explore, experience.
Check out my list of Non Negotiables and make your own. Learn how to say no. Feel your feelings. Prioritise feeling good over fitting in. Practice energy techniques, because they can make a HUGE difference to wellness (I've noted that people who often get AI and chronic pain/fatigue are very 'in tune' and some of it can be energetic). Be fearless.
The self healing journey is SO important because when you learn to feel good you can share, and help and be of service; whether it's to friends, family, your community, the world and the wild.
Getting connected to your mind, body and spirit gives you the power to back reflect out something amazing.

Legal | An attorney who specializes in intellectual property takes a walk through an Artists Alley — and he doesn't like what he sees: "Without exaggeration or hyperbole, 70-80% of the vendors and artists were selling infringing intellectual property ('IP')." He proceeds to list in detail not only the offenses but the misconceptions used to defend them. [Seth Polansky's Blog]
Awards | The Center for Children's Books at the University of Illinois has chosen Ben Hatke's Little Robot as the winner of this year's Gryphon Award for Children's Literature. The award honors children's books that bridge the gap between being read to and reading on one's own. "Hatke's graphic novel is both cleverly crafted and utterly irresistible," said Assistant Professor Deborah Stevenson, the head of CCB and chair of the committee. "Our young heroine is an admirable adventurer and capable wielder of a tool belt, and the little robot she finds, repairs, and befriends is an endearing pet/sidekick. The balance between wordless sequences and simple speech-balloon dialogue (plus the robot's sound effects) will reassure tentative readers and encourage them to decode narrative from both visual and textual clues." [University of Illinois]
Fandom | Twelve-year-old Cameron Bippen was looking forward to attending Tampa Bay Comic Con, but had to miss the event due to unexplained seizures. Following his release from the hospital, Cameron's neighbors in Riverview, Florida, threw him his own comic convention, complete with costumed guests and a visit from members of the Tampa Bay 501st Star Wars Legion. [Fox 4 News]
Manga | Lynzee Lamb lists seven manga that have been banned in different areas, including Ultraman (banned in Malaysia for alleged misuse of the word "Allah") and Dragon Ball, removed from all school libraries in Wicomico, Maryland, because of nudity and "sexual content." [Anime News Network]
Retailing | Joe Field, owner of the Concord, California, comics shop Flying Colors, talks about how he markets children's and all-ages titles, with a staff that is ready to make recommendations special area in his store that is easily recognized as safe for kids. "Besides what we're doing right in that corner though, I think it's the approach that we take to the entire store, and that is that I've never hung up a poster that has blood splatter on it or that has sexually suggestive stuff. We keep the store very family-friendly for everyone," he said. "It's not that we're not selling things for a mature audience, we just don't push that in the face of people who come in because we are in a suburban area. It is an area with a lot of families and we want the store to be accessible to everyone." [ICv2]
Wolverine has worn many different costumes over the years, from the classic yellow-and-blue to the more nuanced orange-and-brown to the black-leather biker ensemble. A few have achieved an iconic look, while some others are perhaps best forgotten.
Recalling a comic from his childhood in which Logan donned "very short cutoff jean shorts," Zita The Spacegirl's Ben Hatke has depicted Wolverine in a series of "wrong" outfits, from Superman's and Vampirella's to Skeletor's and Harry Potter's.
Legal | There's one fewer party in the lawsuit over the use of the term "comic con": Newspaper Agency Corp., which produces materials for Salt Lake Comic Con, has settled with the organizers of Comic-Con International in San Diego. Comic-Con sued both in August, claiming trademark infringement. Update: A Comic-Con International spokesman clarified that the settlement with the Newspaper Agency Corp. — a printing, advertising and delivery company owned by The Salt Lake Tribune and the Deseret News under a joint operating agreement — is already in effect, with the company agreeing to a court order that prevents it from using the mark "Comic-Con," "Comic Con" or its variants in the materials it produces. The lawsuit against Salt Lake Comic Con organizers continues. [The Salt Lake Tribune]
Crime | Someone tossed a homemade fire bomb into the offices of the German newspaper Hamburger Morgenpost at about 2 a.m. on Sunday. Firefighters put out the fire quickly, and no one was in the offices at the time. The paper published three of the controversial Prophet Muhammad cartoons from Charlie Hebdo on Thursday with the headline "This much freedom must be possible!" [The Telegraph]
Editorial cartoons | Michael Kupperman relates his frustrating, and short-lived, experience as a cartoonist for The New York Times. [The Hooded Utilitarian]
Retailing | Finally breaking its silence regarding the feud with Hachette over sales terms, Amazon acknowledged it's buying less print inventory and "safety stock" from the publisher and is no longer taking pre-orders for its titles. And while Amazon conceded that "Hachette has operated in good faith and we admire the company and its executives," the retail giant said "we are not optimistic that this will be resolved soon." The company also recognized the affect the dispute may have on authors, revealing it offered to fund 50 percent of an author pool to help mitigate the impact. Hachette responded, saying it was glad Amazon has admitted its actions have an effect on authors: "We will spare no effort to resume normal business relations with Amazon—which has been a great partner for years — but under terms that value appropriately for the years ahead the author's unique role in creating books, and the publisher's role in editing, marketing, and distributing them, at the same time that it recognizes Amazon's importance as a retailer and innovator." [Publishers Weekly, GalleyCat]
Manga | In a two-part interview, ICv2 talks at length to veteran Dark Horse manga editor Carl Horn about how the manga market has evolved since 1987, which manga do and do not do well, and what the future may hold. The good news is the market seems to be recovering after several years of declining sales; the hard evidence is that Dark Horse is sending more royalties back to the Japanese licensors. And the new reality is that while the market may be smaller, almost everyone knows what manga is now: "You can't simply put a manga on the market and expect it to sell because it is manga (that was one of the nice things about the boom because you could take a chance on more marginal titles), but on the other hand you don't have to do as much explaining about what manga is anymore." In addition, ICv2 lists the top 25 manga and the top 10 shoujo and shonen properties from the last quarter of 2013. [ICv2]
Last week, when I was packing my bags to go to the Angoulême International Comics Festival, I kept having to explain to people — even comics people — what it was.
Now that I'm back, it's not a problem any more.
This year's selection of Bill Watterson as the winner of the Grand Prix d'Angoulême, and the president of next year's festival, has put Angoulême on the map for more U.S. readers — or at least, it has sent the cartoonist's fans scurrying to the map to see where it is.
What follows is a series of first impressions from my first trip to Angoulême; check out Publishers Weekly (which provided me with a press badge) for more solid coverage, and of course no one can capture an event like Heidi MacDonald.
There are a lot of reasons to go to Angoulême — the international array of creators and publishers who are there, the opportunity to get the hottest new BDs and of course, French food, scenery and wine all spring to mind — but to me, the most impressive thing about it was that I was in a place where comics really mattered. Comics aren't a niche product in France; they are available everywhere, they are widely read, and they are taken seriously. In my previous sojourns in France, long before I was a comics journalist, I was accustomed to seeing a rack of hardcover, full-color comics at the grocery store, train station, and bookstore.

Digital comics | Sony is shutting down its PSP Comic Store as of Oct. 30. After that, readers will no longer be able to purchase new comics from the store, although they will be able to download at least some previously purchased comics until January 2013. After that, the whole thing is just gone. Sony pulled something similar in Japan, but its new PS Vita store includes a manga service. The PSP doesn't seem to have been a very popular medium for reading comics in the United States, but it's too bad that those who did take a chance on it have no way to permanently preserve their comics in a way that isn't dependent on an aging piece of hardware. [Engadget]
Publishing | The Brooklyn Daily chats a bit with Sean Howe, the writer of Marvel Comics: The Untold Story, whose book includes an account of Marvel founder Martin Goodman, a Brooklynite who gave Stan Lee his first gig but was barely remembered by the company when he died. [Brooklyn Daily]
Welcome to Food or Comics?, where every week we talk about what comics we'd buy at our local comic shop based on certain spending limits — $15 and $30 — as well as what we'd get if we had extra money or a gift card to spend on a splurge item.
Check out Diamond's release list or ComicList, and tell us what you're getting in our comments field.

If I had $15: Whoah, another tough week to narrow things down. Is every Brian Wood-written title required to come out the same week of each month? Do Dark Horse and Marvel get together and plan it that way, so that people who only buy Wood comics only have to go to the store once a month? I think more than half the DC titles I buy come out this time every month, too. So yeah, lots to pick from …
Anyway, I'd start with one of those Brian Wood comics, Conan the Barbarian #8 (Dark Horse, $3.50), which features Vasilis Lolos on art. Lolos drew one of my favorite issues of Northlanders, "The Viking Art of Single Combat," so it's cool to see the two of them working together again. I'd also get a comic I'm sure will be popular with a few of my colleagues, the first issue of the new Stumptown miniseries by Greg Rucka and Matthew Southworth (Oni Press, $3.99). Next I'd get Manhattan Projects #6 (Image, $3.50); this issue turns the focus from America's secret science program to Russia's secret science program. Jonathan Hickman and Nick Pitarra are having a lot of fun with this one. Finally, I'd get Uncanny X-Force #31 (Marvel, $3.99), which really picked things up last issue … and this is a comic that's usually running on twice as many cylinders anyway.
If I had $30, I'd also grab two finales from DC Comics — Shade #12 and Resurrection Man #0 (both $2.99). Honestly, I never expected to see a Resurrection Man comic again, much less by the guys who wrote the original, so the fact that we got a good run of 13 issues is a pleasant surprise. Shade, of course, was planned as 12 issues from the beginning, and was a nice return to the Starman-verse by writer James Robinson. That leaves me room for three more $2.99 comics, which means I'm going to bypass X-Men, The Massive and Avengers Assemble this week (let's assume that I'll one day spend my splurge money on the trades) and instead go with Chew #28 (Image, $2.99), It Girl and the Atomics #2 (Image, $2.99) and Demon Knights #0 (DC Comics, $2.99).
Splurge: Assuming I wouldn't spend my unlimited gift card on single issues, I'd be looking at the first Bucko collection from Dark Horse ($19.99) and Fantagraphics' Is That All There Is? trade ($25).
I wasn't very familiar with Ben Hatke's work before I met him in 2010 at the Small Press Expo, apart from reading his contribution to the second Flight anthology. So I was pleasantly taken by surprise at how charming his debut graphic novel, the all-ages Zita the Spacegirl, is. The book, about a young girl who is inadvertently transported to another galaxy full of strange and fearsome aliens, adheres closely in style to many well-worn fantasy adventure comics. But it manages to stand out from the pack with a cast of broad, engaging characters, an appealing heroine, and some smartly (and tightly) paced actions scenes.
Now Hatke has a sequel, Legends of Zita the Spacegirl, which finds the pint-sized interplanetary traveler struggling to cope with her new-found celebrity, and encountering a would-be impostor who's more than happy to taker her place.
I talked with Hatke about the new Zita book, how he became a cartoonist, and his goals for the series.
Comics | Green Lantern writer Geoff Johns talks with The Wall Street Journal about the introduction this week of the newest member of the Green Lantern Corps Simon Baz, an Arab-American Muslim from Dearborn, Michigan: "As fantastic as the concept of Green Lantern is of an intergalactic police force, the comic has had a history of grounding in the now and dealing with modern characters and concepts and Simon Baz is that. I wanted to create a character that everyday Americans have to deal with. When 9/11 hit, he was 10-years-old. His family was devastated, just like every other American. He's grown up in that world. It's just part of the daily life, the new normal." [Speakeasy]
Comics | The new Spider-Man, Miles Morales, reaches a key moment in Ultimate Comics: Spider-Man #14, when Aunt May gives him Peter Parker's web-shooters and the formula for for his web fluid.

'But, young Miles and (his friend) Ganke trying to figure out how to make web fluid is going to be my favorite stuff to write ever in the history of writing of anything. Just because someone gives you a formula and says, "Here, cook this," doesn't mean you can.'" [USA Today]

I have partitioned a 1TB external drive into three independent drives i.e. iTunes, Docs, Video. In Time Machine I have set the Preferences to only back up the internal drive (which contains my apps, settings, etc - a total of 45.58 GB). When the 1TB partitioned drive is on, Time Machine tries to back up all three of them + my internal drive resulting in the typical "too large" error message.
NOTE: Even when turned on, the other three drives don't even show up in the "Options" window where you "Exclude these items from back-ups". They do, however, show up in the "Select Disk" window.
When the 1T partitioned drive is off, Time Machine performs as expected i.e. backs up only the internal drive.
Is there a way of ensuring that only the internal drive is backed up?

Diabetes Health Center
Care Improving for Type 1 Diabetes
June 27, 2011 (San Diego) -- The life expectancy for people with childhood-onset type 1 diabetes has improved dramatically since 1950, according to results of a 30-year study. And the survival gap between people with type 1 diabetes and the general population in the U.S. appears to be rapidly diminishing, the study found.
"While type 1 diabetes mortality rates have decreased over time, how this translates into improvements in life expectancy has been unclear," says Trevor J. Orchard, MD, professor of epidemiology, pediatrics, and medicine at the University of Pittsburgh.
So Orchard and colleagues examined data from the Pittsburgh Epidemiology of Diabetes Complication study, a long-term study of childhood-onset type 1 diabetes.
They compared two groups based on year of diabetes diagnosis: 390 people diagnosed between 1950 and 1964 and 543 people diagnosed between 1965 and 1980.
People diagnosed with diabetes between 1965 and 1980 lived approximately 15 years longer than those diagnosed between 1950 and 1964 (53.4 years vs. 68.8 years).
The estimated 15-year life expectancy improvement between the two groups persisted regardless of gender or age at diagnosis, Orchard says.
Meanwhile, the life expectancy of the general U.S. population increased less than one year during the same time period.
The life expectancy of a population as a whole tends to change slowly, while that of a group with a particular condition or illness may improve rapidly from advances in screening and treatment.
Orchard attributes the increase in life expectancy among people with type 1 diabetes to a combination of factors, most notably improvements in treating diabetes-associated kidney disease and better blood glucose testing that allows more people to be diagnosed earlier.
Robert Henry, MD, president of medicine and science for the American Diabetes Association (ADA), tells WebMD that he credits better technology, such as insulin pumps that allow patients to achieve better control of their blood sugar.
Gap to Continue to Narrow
Other findings of the study, presented here at the 71st Scientific Sessions of the ADA:
- The life expectancy of people diagnosed in the earlier time period was about 18 years less than that estimated for the U.S. general population at that time (71.5 years).
- In contrast, there was only a four-year gap in life expectancy between people diagnosed in the latter time period and the U.S. general population (72.4 years at that time).
- The 30-year mortality rate of participants diagnosed with type 1 diabetes from 1965 to 1980 was 11.6% -- a significant decline from the 35.6% 30-year mortality of people diagnosed between 1950 and 1964.

Me and my family absolutely loved this recipe on Thanksgiving this year! The only thing I changed was that I left out the crushed pineapple (did not have any). This dish was such a nice refreshing alternative to our normal cranberry recipe - Yum!
I fixed this recipe for Thanksgiving dinner, and most of my family really enjoyed it. (Everyone except the picky ones who don't like to try anything new!). My bag of cranberries was only 12 ounces, but I didn't cut back any of the other ingredients. I loved the walnuts in it. I didn't know how much cinnamon to add, so I added 1 teaspoon. My daughter said she really enjoyed the cinnamon. I liked it too, but next time I won't use as much, probably only 1/2 teaspoon. I have eaten homemade cranberry sauces before, but never made one. It was really simple to make. I will definitely make this again!
Made exactly as directed and it wasn't all that spectacular and I will not repeat. Not too fond of the nuts and ended up throwing most of it out.

MIAMI -- It was hard for Florida's Democratic leaders to think the party could sink any lower than it was two years ago -- but it has.
The state's dominant party until the early 1990s, the Democrats are now all but irrelevant in the Legislature, have lost one of their two U.S. Senate seats and didn't live up to expectations in the presidential election.
"The Democratic Party in Florida has just done a horrific job," said Aubrey Jewett, a University of Central Florida political science professor. "There's no way to soften this. There is no silver lining anywhere in this election for Democrats. I just can't be negative enough."
From the state House to the White House, Florida is lining up Republican despite an advantage Democrats have among registered voters.
President Bush carried Florida by 5 percentage points over Democrat John Kerry four years after he needed five weeks of recounts and a U.S. Supreme Court decision to beat Al Gore.
A Senate seat that was firmly Democrat for the 18 years Bob Graham held it was lost to Republican Mel Martinez, who had never run for statewide office. He edged former education secretary Betty Castor.
Democrats lost at least two and probably three seats in the state House, meaning they will be outnumbered 84-36 when the legislative session opens in March. The state Senate remained firmly in Republican hands, 26-14.
It's like deja vu.
Two years ago Gov. Jeb Bush soundly beat Democrat Bill McBride, Republicans had a clean sweep of the cabinet, Democrats lost state House and Senate seats and the GOP picked up three seats in Congress.
Jewett believes this year's loss of the state House seats is as telling about the condition of the Florida Democratic Party than the loss of Graham's seat, saying two years ago he truly thought the party hit its low point.
"At 81-39, I think to myself that this could not possibly get any worse, just as a statement of fact. Basically every district the Democrats have lean Democratic. How could they possibly lose?" he said. "That's equally as devastating as the Betty Castor loss. I will once again say 'How could it possibly get worse? How could they go below 36?'"
The overwhelming majority in the House is even more impressive considering Democrats controlled it until 1996, when Republicans earned a majority by one.
Like Jewett, State Rep. Bob Henriquez was among those saying it couldn't get worse.
"I guess I was wrong," said Henriquez, D-Tampa. "I thought we hit rock bottom, but apparently we have a ways to go."
After the 2002 election, Democratic Party Chairman Bob Poe was chased from his leadership position and replaced by Scott Maddox, an energetic, charismatic Tallahassee mayor who vowed to bring respect back to the party.
Maddox was fresh off a run for attorney general, losing in a close primary race. Maddox freely acknowledged he eventually wanted to seek a statewide office, but said he wanted to strengthen the party first.
Despite Tuesday's results, he maintains the party is in better off than now than when he took over, saying it has built an infrastructure, has more money in the bank and is doing well in local races.
"We are in a world of better shape than we were in 2002," Maddox said. "It's back to building a bench, but we've always known that. That's not a two-year plan, that's not a four-year plan, that's a 10-year plan."
Former state GOP Chairman Tom Slade acknowledged Maddox hasn't had a lot to work with.
"They have not consistently recruited and trained and encouraged and educated their secondary guys to become first-team players," Slade said. "When you start looking through their ranks, they just don't have any noticeable talent."
Maddox, an unwavering optimist, said the Senate seat could have just as easily fallen to Castor. He noted that Kerry received 500,000 more votes than Gore did four years ago. And he pointed out that Democratic U.S. Rep. Allen Boyd held onto a seat Republicans targeted.
"I'm frustrated, I'm sure many Florida Democrats are, but I think they'll recognize we put together one heck of an effort. We just fell short," he said.
Still, many will see the losses and look for someone to take the blame.
"If you're the head of the party and the party fails, there's got to be some backlash," Henriquez said.
Nobody knows that better than Poe.
"The governor's race starts today for 2006 and so now the question is going to be who's going to take us there?" Poe said. "Just as I took the bullet for 2002, I wouldn't want to be in Scott Maddox's shoes this afternoon."
Poe's departure followed two months of public infighting among Democrats, a scenario that could be repeated.
"They're going to be going though a soul searching," Poe said. "I would be surprised if there wasn't a fierce battle for the leadership of the party, and because we do everything in public, it ain't going to be pretty."
Most agree it will be a long time before Democrats can make any significant gains in Florida.
Republicans have been able to draw political boundaries, making it difficult for Democrats to win back seats. And Republicans have more resources, have developed a strong grass roots network and have a better stable of candidates for statewide offices.

'Eat Smart. Play Hard. Together' wins national recognition
The National Extension Association of Family and Consumer Sciences has awarded NDSU's "Eat Smart. Play Hard. Together" program with the 2009 Marketing Package Award.
Julie Garden-Robinson, NDSU Extension Service food and nutrition specialist, accepted the award at the association's awards banquet in Birmingham, Ala., in September.
The NDSU Extension Service and Bison Athletics launched the statewide "Eat Smart. Play Hard. Together" campaign in 2005. The program has used a variety of role models, such as Bison athletes, North Dakota Governor's Schools youth and Miss North Dakota, to increase awareness of the importance of nutrition and fitness for families.
The program includes a video featuring Thundar, the Bison mascot; 4-H club recognition program; poster contests for kids; classroom lessons for kids; newsletters for parents; a Web page (www.ndsu.edu/eatsmart); a Facebook page; and the Eat Smart. Play Hard. Together magazine that taps into the expertise of NDSU faculty and contains information to help families lead more healthful, active lives.
"Child obesity continues to be an issue in the U.S., and we believe this program is making a difference in promoting healthy eating and physical activity among children and families throughout North Dakota," Garden-Robinson said. "Troy Goergen of Bison Athletics has been a great partner in helping coordinate the efforts, and I was excited and encouraged to accept the award on behalf of the program."
The program also has reached families through posters, billboards, bookmarks, radio public service announcements featuring Bison athletes, pocket folders, T-shirts, bracelets, backpacks, an "Eat Lunch With the Bison" radio contest, memo boards, temporary tattoos, a carnival during basketball games and pencils imprinted with the Web site and "Eat Smart. Play Hard." message.
"The 'Eat Smart. Play Hard." campaign is critical in educating children, parents and caregivers on eating healthy and being physically active every day," said NDSU President Joseph A. Chapman. "The resources and tools offered by the program clearly are helping make America's children healthier."
Blue Cross Blue Shield of North Dakota, the NDSU Development Foundation, Healthy North Dakota Initiative, Midwest Dairy Association, Northarvest Bean Growers, Northern Pulse Growers Association, North Dakota Department of Public Instruction - Child Nutrition and Food Distribution, North Dakota Beef Commission, North Dakota Nutrition Council, North Dakota Wheat Commission, North Dakota School Nutrition Association, Northern Canola Growers Association and Northern Plains Potato Growers Association are helping sponsor the program in 2009-10.
"Eat Smart. Play Hard." is based on the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food and Nutrition Service initiative with the same name.

Welcome to the 2010 installment of the "Bedlam Series", between the 10th ranked Oklahoma State Cowboys (10-1, 6-1 Big 12) and the 14th ranked Oklahoma Sooners (9-2, 5-2 Big 12).
OU leads the all-time series 81-16-7 and has won the last seven in a row by an average margin of 22 points.
However, this year, the Cowboys come into the game with more on the line. Slightly favored for a change, Oklahoma State has a chance to win it's first Big 12 South Division title, which would mean the Cowboys' first Big 12 Championship game appearance (against the Nebraska Cornhuskers, who punched their ticket with a solid thrashing of Colorado yesterday in Lincoln) and their first 11-win season.
By beating their in-state rival in the process, it would make it all the sweeter for this plucky Oklahoma State team. It would also be coach Mike Gundy's first-ever win against Oklahoma (currently he is 0-5 against the Sooners).
So, sit back for what should be a good one, against two teams that have no love lost between them and feel free to add to the discussion below.

The plugins new version is better and almost all features are for free.
I downloaded the free version and quickly learned that the free version has the most bare-minimum options. Everything in the description for this plugin is in fact only available in the premium version, which I bought ($13) against my better judgment. The premium version also is incredibly shoddy and not straight-forward at all. The CSS gradients field always falls away, the call-to-action button always leads to a broken link (even when you put a valid URL in its field), and the colors don't work. Furthermore, even if the premium version did work it wouldn't be very easy for an amateur to use - so user-friendly is the last thing I'd give this points for.
I wouldn't recommend downloading or investing in this until Web Settler makes MAJOR improvements.
It puts a bar on your website, but it does NOTHING!!!!! You can put in text, but you have to pay to get any use out of it.
Not advanced in free version.
All the features in the description are for the pro version, the free one is almost unusable as far as customizations go. You can't even place it on top. There are way better free options.
Very easy to use

A Tiny Sense of Accomplishment with Sherman Alexie and Jess Walter— their genuine friendship is very endearing and makes for easy, engaged listening. They also share their works in progress or revisit old material and talk about the challenges, joys, frustrations, and small moments of victory that all writers, published or not, are all too familiar with. Funny, heartwarming, and honest. I always feel either super inspired or lost in deep thought after listening.
Walking from point A to point B (a span of maybe fifty yards) and seeing three different one night stands, the girl you spilled a drink on at that soccer team mixer, and your the ex-roommate you absolutely cannot stand before reaching your destination. There is no anxiety like the "we're in such close proximity how do I acknowledge that I know this person without actually acknowledge that I know this person?" momentary stress attack.
I spent the wee hours of 2014 in a cramped bathroom, kneeling in my ex-boyfriend's vomit after he confessed that all of our friends hated me and that I quote "never loved him". I then had to undress him, put him to bed, and clean his clothing. The next morning, we broke up. But I had to drive him home in a terrible, post-break up awkward silence. Needless to say, it foreshadowed a rocky 2014.

In this paper we present the design, rationale, and implementation of the Internet Key Exchange (IKE) Protocol. This protocol is used to create and maintain Internet Protocol Security (IPSec) associations and secure tunnels in the IP layer. Secure tunnels are used to construct virtual private networks (VPNs) over the Internet. The implementation is done in the application layer. The design includes four components: (1) an IKE protocol engine to execute the IKE protocol, (2) a tunnel manager to create and manage secure tunnels—it generates requests to the IKE protocol engine to establish security associations, (3) VPN policy administration tools to manage VPN policies that guide the actions of the IKE protocol engine and the tunnel manager, and (4) a certificate proxy server to acquire and verify public key certificates that are used for authentication of messages and identities in the IKE protocol. The implementation was done on the Advanced Interactive Executive® (AIX®) operating system at IBM Research and has been transferred to IBM's AIX, Application System/400®, and System/390® products.

Danica Patrick grabbed a slice of history with her Daytona 500 pole, the first for a woman driver ratcheting up interest in "The Great American Race" that opens NASCAR's season on Sunday.
While early Patrick buzz at Daytona centered on the confirmation of her romantic relationship with rival driver Ricky Stenhouse jnr, all that changed with her pole grabbing qualifying run, with some pundits now predicting that if she can pull off a victory at Daytona it could mark a turning point for women in sports.
"I don't mind answering questions about the other stuff. But I get that it's not about racing. It's nice to change the tone of the questions because of what's going on on the track," Patrick said. "That is a really good sign and I like that."
The 30-year-old Patrick is no stranger to the spotlight. In five seasons on the Andretti team she became one of IndyCar's signature pilots and the first woman to win a race in the open-wheel series with her triumph at Japan's Twin Ring Motegi in 2008.
In 2005, she became the first woman to lead the Indianapolis 500 thanks to a refuel strategy and in 2009 she reached the Indy 500 podium with a third-place showing.
She then made the jump to the hugely popular NASCAR stock car racing, and last year competed in 10 races in NASCAR's elite Sprint Cup series.
Patrick knows that in a 500-mile race the advantage offered by pole position is slim at best.
"I do think that it's going to be hard and I wouldn't consider myself a favorite to win," Patrick said. "Although, a fast car, you never know what can happen."
NASCAR, a sport with roots in the American south, has gained an audience far beyond its stereotypically white, rural spectator and lured international racers such as former Formula One star Juan Pablo Montoya of Colombia.
Top races such as the venerable Daytona 500 can draw hundreds of thousands of spectators, and the fan base is wooed by politicians courting the "NASCAR vote".
US presidential candidate Mitt Romney's difficulty in connecting with fans at one campaign trip to a race was widely interpreted as demonstrating that he was out of touch with ordinary Americans.
Such a sport might not seem the best suited for a barrier-breaking battle of the sexes, but Danica-mania has dominated Daytona this year.
Rival drivers Jeff Gordon, Jimmie Johnson and Carl Edwards -- elite names in NASCAR -- all brought their daughters to meet Patrick as practise and qualifying got underway.
"Carl was saying it's good that she sees me in real life and in person because 'To her, you are like some mythical creature that doesn't exist,'" Patrick said.
"Then after qualifying, Jimmie Johnson brought his little girl over. That's three pretty big drivers who have little girls that wanted to meet me."
Patrick credits her success in the male-dominated world of auto racing to the values instilled by her parents when she was young, and by her ability to land on quality teams.
"I was brought up to be the fastest driver, not the fastest girl. That was instilled in me from very young, from the beginning," Patrick said.
Maybe so, but plenty of people will be tuning into the Daytona 500 this year specificially to see if the fastest girl can beat the fastest men, Robert Thompson of the Bleier Center for Television and Popular Culture at Syracuse University told USA Today.
"Anyone who has ever been to middle school knows about the girls vs. the boys," Thompson said.

I bought these Gap Caps" to replace 22 year old ones in my Mom's kitchen. You don't know what you miss until they break! Now, nothing falls down in between the stove and the countertops. When you're 88 years old, that can spell peace of mind.
I'm glad someone thought of this
By Susan

This works perfectly to cover the side gaps between counter and stove. I'm so glad someone invented this product.

Boost Campaign: President Obama to join Ad Council and Army to communicate importance of education
What is it?
President Obama is joining the Ad Council and the U.S. Army to launch a new series of television and radio public service advertisements (PSAs) to encourage high- school students to stay in school. The ads feature the President, and are part of the Army and the Ad Council's High School Dropout Prevention "Boost" campaign. The ads are being distributed to media outlets nationwide to coincide with a special address President Obama will give to students about the importance of education Sept. 8, 2009. The President's address, which will mark the first time an American president will speak directly to the nation's children about persisting in school, will be broadcast live on White House Live on Sept. 8 at 1:00 p.m. EST.
Why is this important to the Army?
The dropout rate is a national security issue that impacts Army workforce readiness. Nearly 30 percent of high-school students in the U.S. drop out, according to a report released by the America's Promise Alliance (Cities in Crisis: A Special Analytic Report on High School Graduation). The Army and Ad Council partnership is an effort to compel students to graduate. Through new TV and radio PSAs, President Obama communicates he couldn't have achieved his success without first graduating high school. He urges parents, friends, educators and neighbors to do whatever it takes to help support and encourage high school students in their education. Teachers will receive resources to help engage students and stimulate classroom discussion.
What is the Army doing?
Education is a top-priority public service issue for the Army. In 2000, the Army partnered with the Ad Council to start "Operation Graduation," a national campaign to motivate students to graduate high school. In 2006, the Army and the Ad Council launched a new approach, "Boost." The "Boost" program encourages teens to talk to their friends about staying in school, and provides parents with tools and advice. In addition to the PSAs, "Boost" features a series of wake-up calls and alarm ringtones recorded by professional athletes that teens can share with friends to motive them to get up and go to school in the morning. The "Boost" campaign leverages leading social networking Web sites and user-generated content sites (i.e. YouTube, Facebook, and MySpace) to provide opportunities to support teens.

The locations investigated for Bigfoot activity are remote areas near the US/Canadian Border. We vetted both places in the fall of 2012. The property owner of the private acreage is well known to us, and informed us of several encounters that he has had with a creature that he believes to be Bigfoot over the years, in or near both locations.
The Expedition
The first site we investigated is the private acreage. This property consists of mostly wildland, but it also includes a small residential structure with various building materials and other items strewn around the grounds near that building. The acreage is roughly 40% to 50% wooded with a large clearing and a creek winding through it.
Weather conditions were cloudy with periods of showers for the intial visit. Temperatures were near the 70 degree mark and humidity was high. The team searched the property extensively for anything out of the ordinary, and found no evidence of Sasquatch. A trail cam was set up and left on a tree to provide us with 48-hour snapshots.
We visited the site again late evening on the same day to install a video camera to film overnight. Unfortunately, the winds had picked up and the rain made it impossible to leave the camera. Although we did not perform an extensive search of the area, we found nothing out of the ordinary.
The following day we placed peanut butter out near the trail cam, hoping that we would catch photographs of the animals/bigfoot that roamed the area. The third day, which was our day of departure, we went back to find the peanut butter stick undisturbed, and no unusual circumstances.
The trail cam produced no unusual photos. We captured no evidence on this visit to suggest that Sasquatch was near.
The second area that we focused on is public land. It is a wooded area, difficult to traverse, and apparently used by deer hunters, as evidenced by the remains of a deerstand. After searching as far as we could into the heavily treed land, we found no evidence to suggest Sasquatch was or had been in this area in the recent past.
Our team thoroughly searched both areas, walking and hiking through the trees, tall grasses, and along the creek. We searched for the following signs:
· Broken branches which would suggest a large animal barreling through the woods
· A structure made of branches
· Footprints
· Hair
In addition, we knocked on the trunks of trees (it is thought that bigfoot bangs branches on the tree trunks) and yes, we made the Squatch Squeel.
Past Expeditions
We searched both areas in the Fall of 2012 on our first Bigfoot Expedition, and found what we believed were Bigfoot tracks. We attempted to follow the tracks, but inclement weather prevented us from fully searching the area at that time.
Future Expeditions
We do anticipate future searches for Bigfoot in this same area, as well as in other locations in Minnesota. Reports of Sasquatch sightings are numerous in Minnesota, and we will be investigating the claims that come to us when time is available.

Eight bodies were found in Ecatepec, a suburb on the outskirts of Mexico City, on Thursday.
Reuters reported that six of the bodies, five men and one woman, showed "signs of torture."
They were naked and their throats had been cut, a spokeswoman for police in Ecatepec was quoted as saying.
In another incident, the bodies of two men, aged between 18 and 22, were found in a nearby street with gunshot wounds, Reuters reported.
The Associated Press reported that the eight corpses were "bullet ridden."
"Both incidents are being investigated by the homicide prosecutor's office, which immediately assigned personnel to conduct the corresponding investigation," the Mexico state Attorney General's Office was quoted by Spanish news agency EFE as saying.
Ecatepec is a poor suburb on the northern outskirts of Mexico City, with a population of around two million people.
Mass killings are relatively rare in the Mexican capital, which has been spared much of the drug-related massacres that have occurred in other parts of the country.
Nearly 60,000 people have been killed in drug-fueled violence since late 2006 when President Felipe Calderon stepped up a campaign against the country's powerful drug cartels.

I have more slidshows on a page and i did not want to start all slideshows on start.
You need to change the script for that,
nggfunctions.php -> nggShowSlideshow()
$swfobject->add_flashvars( autostart, 'false');
Hello, I love the nextGen Gallery.
I have the same desire to stop the autostart from slideshow.
I changed the nggfunctions.php as above but the slideshow still starts automatically. Can you help me?
I added $swfobject->add_flashvars('autostart', 'false'); below
// adding the flash parameter
it didn't work.
and I also tried to insert
$swfobject->add_params('autostart', 'false');
// init the flash output
But still doesn't work.
Thanks a lot.
It looks like you can add it anywhere that you see a list of similar lines in nggfunctions.php. It worked for me. Here's where I put it:
$swfobject->add_attributes('styleclass', 'slideshow');
$swfobject->add_attributes('name', 'so' . $galleryID);
//keep slideshow from autostarting
$swfobject->add_flashvars( autostart, 'false');
// adding the flash parameter
$swfobject->add_flashvars( 'file', NGGALLERY_URLPATH.'xml/imagerotator.php?gid=' . $galleryID );
$swfobject->add_flashvars( 'shuffle', $ngg_options['irShuffle'], 'true', 'bool');
I can't find the nggfunctions.php in the NexGEN Gallery plugins' editor.
Should i be looking somewhere else to keep the slideshow from autostarting?
Did this topic got resolved?

I am a developer for a website which is heavily reliant on static content such a pictures, videos etc. Our current setup is very simple, we basically have one server acting as our cdn which in turn gets updated by the web servers through rsync. The simplicity if this setup has a couple of drawbacks, mainly the fact we also have to rsync any changes between the web servers.
We are now looking for a less disjointed architecture. One idea is to use NAS which could be mounted in each web server which meant that we wouldn't have to rely on rsync however would introduce a single point of failure.
Does anyone have any knowledge of successful, fairly high volume (approx. 10tb a month) cdn setups and architectures?
