A Festival of Tales is an exciting arts festival taking place in Ormskirk this winter that features an arts trail by six fantastic artists, three new short stories and a new piece of site-specific theatre. All the work has been inspired by local heritage and sees Ormskirk invaded by fairy inventors, a giant gingerbread man and a red devil. The imaginative artworks are on display in locations around the Ormskirk town centre, and provide an alternative high street experience during the pantomime season. The stories are all available to read online here.
I've written a short story for family audiences inspired by local folklore of the two sisters who couldn't agree whether the church should have a tower or a steeple, and so it ended up with both. I'll also be running a number of creative writing workshops for children and adults in December, full details below. And I'll be reading with fellow commissioned writers Rodge Glass and James Rice at the Chapel Gallery on Friday 15th December. Join us for intriguing tales and warm-mulled wine in the candle-lit surroundings of the gallery café. There are lots of ways to get involved with the festival, including art workshops and competitions. You can see the full timetable of events here.

Have you ever had a toothache while you were on an airplane? Was it just an example of very unfortunate timing, or was there a legitimate medical reason behind this airborne affliction?
It's not just a coincidence. There is a good reason. If you've had a dental nightmare at 30,000 feet, then you probably had an infected tooth that had bacteria in the root which produce a by-product of gas.
This trapped gas will expand in the root with changes in the airplane's cabin pressure, causing pain in the tooth or jaw bone — or both. Asking the attendant for ice water, taking a sip, and holding it in the mouth near the affected tooth will decrease the temperature of the gas, causing it to contract.
The temporary solution described above will provide relief from the toothache pain for a short time. Continue to ease the pain with ice water, as necessary. See a dentist as soon as possible after your flight. And if you're in our town, please come and see us.
So, what causes a toothache? Simply put, a toothache is pain in or around a tooth. And you may know from unhappy experience that a toothache can range from anywhere between a minor annoyance to profound pain, usually closer to the latter.
Toothaches can arise from a variety of factors, such as poor personal dental habits, a sugary or high-carbohydrate diet, trauma to the mouth or a failure to visit your friendly neighborhood dental office for routine but imperative checkups.
Remember, the best way to avoid a toothache is to attend your regular dental checkups and cleanings, brush twice a day, floss once a day, and eat a well-balanced diet. But if you do find yourself with a toothache, come and see us and we'll take good care of you.

Cessna U206
Terraquest utilizes an economical Cessna 206, a proven workhorse, for large regional surveys right down to targeted, site-specific survey blocks. Short lines and low terrain clearance are not a problem with the slow speed and enhanced manoeuverability provided by the Robertson STOL kit as shown in the following case studies:
Case Example 1: On one survey Terraquest flew over 40 "postage stamp" blocks (each 1×1 km) spread out over 400 kilometres under estimated time and cost budget.
Case Example 2: Using the U206 Terraquest flew 15,000 line kilometres with terrain clearances of 27 metres over smooth terrain and 22 metres over flat string bog.
These features combined with the measured horizontal gradient to map responses between the lines, create a challenge to most drone surveys.
The Cessna has been specially modified with long range fuel cells, Robertson STOL kit, two camera ports, tundra tires, cargo door and an array of sensors to carry out airborne geophysical surveys.
Geophysical Equipment:
- Positioning: Accurate real-time corrected differential GPS navigation and data recovery
- Magnetics: Horizontal Gradiometer (Up to three cesium magnetometers)
- New Matrix Digital VLF-EM (data can be inverted to produce resistivity maps, sections and depth slices for each frequency)
- Optional Hyperspectral and Lidar capability
Benefits of the U206 include:
- Lightweight aircraft capable of long flights
- High wing, ideal for northern gravel runways
- Fixed landing gear eliminating the requirement for time consuming gear swings
- Excellent record of quality data acquisition
- Excellent cold weather aircraft (for a piston engine)
- Two camera ports (one full sized, and one medium sized)

A Campaign to Reduce Food Waste: The Inner Beauty of Fruits and Vegetables
Where will inner beauty campaigns strike next? Aisle 1. In the latest battle on body image, think of the produce section as the runway, and the fruits and veggies that make the shelves as those impossibly perfect size two models.
Okay, let's face it; most real people (thanks goodness!) aren't supermodels. Neither are most fruits and vegetables. In fact, some are pretty darn ugly. But does that make them any less nutritious? Absolutely not. And yet, every year, 300 million tons of fruits and vegetables get thrown away just because they don't look like the "supermodel" versions that grocery stores promote to shoppers.
I don't know about you, but this bummed me out. We all need 5 servings of fruits and vegetables a day according to dietary guidelines, but due to the high cost of produce, many don't have access to the nutrition they need. Why let all those perfectly nutritious, delicious, fruits and veggies go to waste? Turns out, French grocer Intermarché felt the same need to reduce food waste. In a recent experiment dubbed "Inglorious Fruits and Vegetables," the supermarket chain offered produce that would have otherwise been discarded at reduced prices. Sure enough, by the end of the day, the inglorious fruits and vegetables had sold, well, gloriously— flying off the shelves. Très Bien!
Fortunately, the Juice Plus+ farm-to-capsule process means that in bypassing the supermarket, our locally grown produce also bypasses the superficial. The fruits and vegetables used to make Juice Plus+ capsules and chewables are given time to mature, because maximum ripeness means maximum nutrition. And as you've probably learned all those times you've thought you let those peaches wait on your counter a little longer then you meant to—then taken a juicy, delicious bite—the yummiest, ripest fruits and veggies are rarely the prettiest. Here at Juice Plus +, we like to think we're one step ahead of our friends across the pond. We've always known that it's not just what's on the inside that counts—it's only what's on the inside that counts. And inside Juice Plus+ we count 17 fruits and vegetables that provide your body with the powerful naturally occurring vitamins, phytonutrients, and antioxidants that make you beautiful and healthy, from the inside out. Now that's what I'd call inner beauty.

BBQ Pulled Zucchini Wraps!10:23 AM
BBQ! I first fell in love with barbecue as a child who took March break vacations in Florida. My family and I would ALWAYS go get...
I first fell in love with barbecue as a child who took March break vacations in Florida. My family and I would ALWAYS go get some amazing barbecue from our favorite spots at least three or four times each trip. Sweet, tangy, salty and smokey -- what's not to love? But I am not an American and my love for barbecue didn't really translate back here in Canada growing up. The best barbecue I found here was nothing like what we ate in the States. It wasn't until well after I had become a vegetarian that barbecue invaded Toronto. Now it seems like there are great barbecue joints everywhere here.
Oh my do I enjoy good barbecue. But to be honest, I haven't been enjoying any at all since becoming mostly vegan (I still eat raw honey) and only rarely encountered barbeque as a vegetarian for the past decade. Why? With my soy allergy and not eating meat, I haven't really sought it out. Most vegan or vegetarian options in Toronto are not barbecue, and when they are they are usually a soy veggie burger or tempeh. No thanks. Luckily for me I went shopping at Pusateri's fruit market in the Church Street Village in Toronto last week and came across sample sizes of Just a Pinch brand of fine sea salts. They had about 20 varieties, and each package was only $1.99! I couldn't resist and went straight for the Durango Smoked Sea Salt -- coarse sea salt smoked over hickory wood!
At first I was a little nervous to try it -- it had been so long since I ate anything with that smokey barbecue flavor and I wasn't sure if I would actually still like it. Well, SLAP ME WITH A BURNIN' CINDER! (Yes I made that up...it will catch on) One whiff of this salt and my love of barbecue came flooding back. Long story short, I F#&*ING LOVE THIS SALT!!! In fact, I'm kind of like that old lady from the Red's Hot Sauce commercials, 'I put that sh#t on everything' now!
I've been noticing a ton of vegan barbecue-inspired recipes online this summer -- particularly for vegan pulled pork sandwiches made with jackfruit. Jackfruit is a tropical fruit that is preserved and sold canned in North America either in sugar syrup or brine. Vegans have been using the brined version to make pulled pork sandwiches because it flakes and pulls like roasted meat. I want to try it but I have had a hard time coming across jackfruit. I did find it in a few Asian markets so I now know that I can get it but I wanted to create my own rendition of pulled pork. Something easy and a recipe made out of ingredients most people can find even outside the big city. After I bought the hickory smoked sea salt I knew I needed to figure out an accessible recipe to showcase it.
Today I want to share with you a real gem of a recipe I developed -- BBQ Pulled Zucchini Wraps! These are seriously easy and ridiculously delicious. The yellow zucchini shreds I used as a substitute for pulled pork really worked out well! This recipe is so easy and has two different variations. The first recipe variation is super simple and nearly raw. Basically you whisk together a basic homemade BBQ sauce and marinate some shredded raw zucchini in it. Wash and trim a few leaves of rainbow swiss chard and wrap away!
Can a recipe get any easier than that?!
Even better, these wraps are vegan, gluten-free, soy-free, nut-free, and nearly raw!
I made another variation that was a little more complex, you will find that recipe below. Half of the zucchini mixture spends some time in the oven to warm and add chewiness to the texture. The rest marinates in wait and gets some company from a bit of chewy and sour sauerkraut shreds and some pink color from some grated chiogga beet. After half an hour, the zuchini shreds that were warming up get mixed in along with some extra ketchup and onion powder to create a pulled "pork" style filling that even carnivores will enjoy (my husband).
If you decide to give this recipe a try, I STRONGLY recommend using the Durango hickory smoked sea salt from Just a Pinch. It is so good. I've already bought small packages of five of their other varieties of sea salt. Just a Pinch is carried in a few major food stores like Metro as well as purchasable online. It is what makes this meal and the BBQ sauce used in this recipe and they're a Canadian brand! Gotta love supporting us, eh?
This BBQ sauce recipe is really awesome. It is good with or without the hickory smoked sea salt, but with it it is GREAT!
Best of all, this sauce is vegan, gluten-free, organic, probiotic (thanks to the sauerkraut brine), and not overly processed.
I have used this BBQ sauce recipe in a few other dishes which I will be sure to share here on another day in the near future. For now, I hope you enjoy these wraps! I like to think of them as a healthy and kind alternative to pulled pork sandwiches.
To all you die-hard pork-people, all I am saying is give pigs a chance!
BBQ Pulled Zucchini Filling
Recipe courtesy of Baking Backwards
Combine all ingredients in a bowl until well mixed. Set aside.
Mix all ingredients thoroughly together until smooth. Leave to gel for 10 minutes. Stir again.
Add 1/3 cup BBQ sauce to the zucchini mixture (the mixture above that you made and set aside) and mix well. Let marinate for 10-20 minutes at room temperature. Stir again. If mixture looks very watery, add an extra 1 tbsp of chia seeds and stir.
OPTIONAL STEP for WARM wraps: Transfer half the mixture to a parchment lined baking sheet and bake in oven preheated to 350F for 30 minutes. After that add it back to the remaining marinating mixture and stir through along with 1 tsp onion powder and 1 tbsp ketchup.
OR for COLD wraps: skip the OPTIONAL STEP and continue as follows:
Taste! If the flavor is muted, add 1 tbsp ketchup, 1 tsp sira and 1 tsp onion powder and stir. Leave to absorb excess liquid for 5 minutes.
Fill the centre of each swiss chard leaf with 1-3 tbsps of the zucchini mixture (depending on the size of your leaf). Roll the leaf to seal the filling inside. For richer tasting wrap, add 1 tsp vegenaise to each leaf before adding the zucchini mixture.

It's almost Halloween! A chance to let your spooky side show. The leaves are falling off the trees, the nights are drawing in and it's cool without being too cold. Halloween is one of the best celebrations of the year and something everyone can join in with.
By making your own homemade Halloween decorations you can get the children involved with creating a creepy Halloween home, with a little imagination and a few old items lying around the house you can create some brilliantly spooky effects.
Here are a few homemade Halloween decorations you might like to try:
Make a Pumpkin Lantern
Pumpkins are on sale at almost every local supermarket and they only cost a couple of pounds. They're traditional for Halloween celebrations and it's quite easy to hollow out the pumpkin, cut in the spooky eyes and mouth and light up your lantern with a tea light inside. You can also use the pumpkin flesh to make a delicious pie or even a hearty winter soup or stew. First use a paring knife to remove a circular area around the stalk, keep the "lid" as you may want to place it back once the candle is inside. We recommend you use an ice cream scoop to hollow out the pumpkin. Using a pen draw your scary pumpkin face, you know have a template to cut out using your trusty paring knife. Add your tea light and voila – one scary Pumpkin Lantern!
Homemade Halloween Decorations
Create a Flying Ghost
Homemade Halloween decorations are really fun and here is one that will cause a fright! Time to raid the airing cupboard, we need an old sheet, a black pen or paint and a coat hanger to make up a ghost. Draw on the face and push the top of the hanger through a small hole in the sheet and you've got a ghost you can suspend from the stairs or even a tree outside.
The Garden Scarecrow
Scare your trick or treat visitors with a spooky scarecrow. If you've got some old clothes and a few lengths of wood, it's pretty easy to make a scarecrow for the garden – you're only really limited by your own imagination.
Spider Webs from Bin Bags
You can make a lot of spooky things from bin bags simply by cutting them up into different shapes. As Halloween is synonymous with spider webs, this tutorial from How About Orange will give you some great big spider webs. Once made you can stick them up around the house and when you take them down, just fold them up and keep them for next year.
Tin Can Lanterns
Next time you use a can of beans for the children, wash it and put it to one side for Halloween, rather than recycling (you can do that later). Buy some tea candles and you can quickly make brilliant little lanterns for the home and the garden. All you need to do is punch holes in the can to make designs and you then simply paint it black.
Halloween Costumes
Whether your children are off trick or treating, or you're going to a party Halloween costumes can be tricky, with a plethora of witches and ghouls around on Halloween it can be hard to find something a little different. With a little imagination and a few things lying around the house, you can create some unusual costumes. Check out these brilliant Halloween costume ideas from Good Housekeeping.
However you plan to spend your Halloween, we wish you the most Spooktacular time, Happy Halloween!

Hello, people who read my blog! I know I haven't written anything for a while, most of lent, despite saying I probably would. Ive been pretty unwell most of lent, physically and mentally, but God has been with me, even in the darkest times, and things are still going, I am still here, I am still journeying and learning and recovering.
Today is Good Friday, and Ive been thinking this morning and praying and listening, about what does Good Friday have to teach me today (lots of things). As I expect most of you know, Jesus was crucified on Good Friday, he was mocked and beaten and crucified. We all deserved this, we all deserved death, for our sins, our brokeness, our turning away from God. However God rescued us, by sending his son to earth, as a human, to teach us about himself, and to take the punishment for our sins. To take our sins and brokeness to the grave.
I was thinking this morning about the disciples, and their feelings and emotions. They saw their leader, their hope, their everything, be brutally murdered on a cross. We know now that Jesus rose again. But at the time they didn't, all they knew was that their King, God's son, their teacher, had been killed by humans, despite the fact he had not sinned. Can you imagine how dark that must of felt? Everything you put your hope in, and it appears to be gone, forever. Obviously I cant prove they felt like this, but I believe they might of.
I don't know if you've ever put your hope in something, relied on something other than God to pull you through, and it hasn't? You get plunged into dark hopeless despair. I know. It happened to me. I didn't realise until it was pulled away from me, but I had put all my hope into studying and working, getting into university. And I wasn't offered a place. And I was plunged into dark despair, and I could see no hope, no reason to fight, no reason to recover, no reason to live at all. Obviously, people around my tried to encourage me, that "your young and you still have life ahead of you", "you can apply again", "you'll get through this". But when all of your hope is placed in something that is then snatched in an instant no human can bring you back from it with words. The truth was I was believing a lie, I was believing studying was going to save me, it was going to give me what I needed to fight, to pull through. But it wasn't, a degree cant give you that. I had to learn, I had to fight and get well for and through God, it is the only sure way, no other way will work, it will just lead to disappointment. So I challenge you to question your motives, what are you doing things for? Is it because you believe that will save you, will make things better? Because if its not God, or not of God, I don't believe it will. I challenge you to trust God, to find out how to do it through him and for him. Its a journey I'm on.
Other times are dark too. Some times my emotions are so intense, I'm not sure you'll understand how intense unless you have lived through them (its a major part of my BPD), and it appears there is no way out, no way through, all hope is gone, and I cannot tell you why, and I don't know what will happen next, or if I'll even get through it. But now, years on from Jesus is death and resurrection we can live in the knowledge that Jesus rose again leaving our sin behind. That the darkness and hopeless times will not last forever, that hope and light will come again. It will. It may not feel like it. I may not be able to see the way forward, but I have to chose to believe that there will be light, not to give up hope, to trust that God will bring light and give strength until the time where I am well.
I feel like I have rambled, but I hope it has made sense, and somehow made you think. Jesus may of been crucified, it may of seemed dark and hopeless, you may feel dark and hopeless, but trust God, he will rise again on sunday, and the dark hopelessness will lift, he will be faithful.
Here are two prayers I am saying at the moment, from the 'Common Prayer, A liturgy for Ordinary
Even in the darkness, we will trust: that out lives are still in your hands.
Guide us, Lord, through the dark places of our day, that we might trust you when shadows overcome the light. Remind us that darkness is as light to you.

CUE Review: Man Of La ManchaPublished: Friday, March 18, 2016 By: Paul Scott Source: THE CUE
Currently on stage at the Westchester Broadway Theatre is Dale Wasserman's MAN OF LA MANCHA. This literate musical, imaginatively adapted by the book writer Wasserman, composer Mitch Leigh and lyricist Joe Darion from Miguel de Cervantes' enduringly relevant 17th Century novel" Don Quixote," remains one of the most durable Broadway hits from the 60s. It is also one of the most challenging, demanding performers who can act, sing and dance in order to present the play's flavorful show within-in-a–show conceit. Although some of the incidents are comical, MAN OF LA MANCHA offers an essentially somber narrative that involves rape, oppression and other brutality.
Director / Choreographer David Wasson elicits fresh and powerful performances from this talented collection of actors. Led by veteran actor Paul Schoeffler as Cervantes / Don Quixote, he dominates the stage with a masterful performance, endearing as the narrator (Cervantes) yet grandiose as his fictional hero, (Quixote). Schoeffler commands the stage when he belts out the show's glorious signature tune, "The Impossible Dream."
Michelle Dawson as the bedraggled, but spunky kitchen wench embodies her character portraying Aldonza / Dulcinea as the perpetual victim as well as a gutsy survivor as evidenced in her contrasting fiery lament "Aldonza" and pensive "What Does He Want of Me." Gary Marachek as Quixote's sidekick, Sancho Panza, adds humor and a lighter tone to this production. Special note should be given to Alan M-L Wager as, Padre and his rendition of "To Each His Dulcinea." Kudos to the ensemble who did an amazing job keeping the tension and action moving along particularly in the production's Rape Scene.
Michael Bottari & Ronald Case's atmospheric set design aptly create the scene for the dark and dank communal cell in a dungeon, complete with a lowering drawbridge and their costume design support the story's tone and mood. Patrick Hoagland's musical direction beautifully serves the score and Andrew Gmoser's lighting design is terrific to help establish the changing moods of the show.
MAN OF LA MANCHA continues on the WBT Stage through May 1, 2016. For information or tickets, call 914/ 592-2222.

Rising rent imperils day cares
Winnipeg Free Press
For years, when things have been relatively quiet at the Sunny Mountain day care, Debra Page and Claire Ferrer jump in the car and take a real estate cruise. Page and her second-in-command have known for years their cramped location in a Main Street strip mall was far from ideal. They've eyeballed vacant lots in nearby Garden City, school fields, community clubs, underused parks, even an old funeral home in a bid to finesse a deal for an affordable new location.

This is the most brilliantly simple idea to spur economic growth aired at Davos so far
Business Insider
At the World Economic Forum in Davos, you hear of a lot of vague platitudes about job creation, inequality and economic growth. Some of the ideas you hear being floated are impossibly ambitious, like Al Gore's $90 trillion scheme to redesign every city on the planet. But Sir Christopher Pissarides, a Nobel laureate economist at the London School of Economics (who taught Thomas Piketty as a student!) told Business Insider about a wonderfully simple idea that creates or sustains three jobs for each single job subsidised by government spending.

CBC News
Parents looking to check in on how their child's day care or day home fares during annual inspections are out of luck in the Northwest Territories, as day care inspection reports are not made public. Natasha McCagg sends her daughter to day care in Yellowknife. She says if parents want to know how safe a facility is, it's up to them to try to interview providers.

Parents struggle to save rare downtown non-profit day care
Toronto Star
In a last-ditch effort to save one of the few non-profit day cares that offers subsidized spots in Toronto's high-rent financial district, parents at George Brown College's doomed Scotia Plaza child-care centre want to launch a $2.5 million fundraiser. The college, however, is refusing to help, leaving the organizers no way to issue tax receipts to donors.

Unsupervised outdoor play is good for kids' health
The Globe and Mail
A new Canadian study suggests there could be added health benefits for kids who play outdoors on their own or with their friends. Researchers analyzed data from a survey of more than 1,000 parents of Grade 5 and 6 students at 16 public schools across Toronto. Kids had to wear an activity measurement unit for seven days and parents were asked to self-report how often they allowed their kids to go out on their own.

Giving kids a good start on literacy
Lethbridge Herald
Reading skills key to success as adults Given the choice between reading a book and playing a video game, most youngsters will likely choose the video game. That's because of the perception that the video game provides more entertainment. But books can be fun and entertaining, too, and adults – particularly parents – can play a key role in helping kids discover the joys of reading. It will also help get them started on the path toward success when they become adults.

Study: Give ibuprofen not morphine after removing tonsils in kids
Toronto Star
Children who have had their tonsils removed because they have obstructive sleep apnea should be given ibuprofen not morphine for pain after the surgery, a new study suggests. The research suggests pain can be controlled effectively with a combination of acetaminophen and ibuprofen — sold under the brand names Advil and Motrin among others — in most cases. When that combination is sufficient it is the approach that should be used, the authors say.

On April 8th, a SpaceX Dragon spaceship delivered a load of cargo to the Int. Space Station. An important item in that cargo was an experimental habitat module in the unpressurized "trunk" section of the Dragon. This module is called the Bigelow Expandable Activity Module or BEAM. It was built by Bigelow Aerospace, which is developing expandable structures that can be launched in compressed mode and then expanded to a size much bigger than could be launched directly.
On April 16th, astronauts aboard the ISS used a robotic arm to extract the BEAM from the Dragon and attached it to a ISS module. Here is a time lapse video showing the extraction and berthing:
This Thursday, astronauts will carefully release air into the BEAM to expand it to its full volume. The process will be webcast on NASA TV starting at 5:30 a.m. EDT: Watch NASA Deploy First Expandable Habitat at Space Station – NASA.

So, yesterday I signed up for the Galena Duathlon. That would be the race that has more vertical mileage than horizontal.
And what did I do to prepare? Why, I went to the track last night, of course!
If we're smart, that's where we all go to test our fitness. Because even if the training is not specific to running hills, you still need to know how fast you can run at a steady state near race pace to help your mind get ready for the effort of racing.
Those of us old enough to still have cinders in our butt crack from years of running on less-than-all-weather tracks know one thing is true: track is where honesty lives.
Fun and humbling
It's both fun and humbling to do a track workout. My companion Sue is not so convinced about the fun part. She's more convinced about the humbling nature of track work. Yet this winter during our many repeat interval workouts on the indoor track at the local high school, she saw definite improvement in her leg turnover and speed by doing intervals together on the track. Her form improved. By indoor season's end, she was running 3-4 miles of ladder and interval workouts at her 5K pace or below.
That's a pretty cool result, wouldn't you say? And yesterday on the outdoor track she replicated that pace. I told her that's a really good sign. Perhaps it helped that she was wearing my faithful Timex watch, which I lent to her because her Garmin battery died? She's got way more gadgets than me. Hee hee.
On our own
Meanwhile I did our workout of 6 X 800 using my internal watch. Built on years of pacework on the track, starting from middle school through the current day, my pacing sense is fairly consistent. But the workout called for increasing our pace as the session progressed. I ran the first 800 with Sue in just over 4:00. Then came the drops, and through three repeats I could feel my legs start to loosen enough to deliver a faster pace.
I was clipping along by Number Four and Five, and with one 800 to go, I called out to Bob Hammond, the Experience Triathlon track coach managing our workout: "Sue has my watch," I told him. "Could you just give me these two laps?"
The first passed in 1:35 and the second in 1:36. 3:11 for the 800. 6:20 pace.
That's exactly my goal pace for the first two miles of the upcoming duathlon. Given that I felt no strain during the 800s workout, I'm on track (no pun intended) to handle that effort in the first stage.
Of course it is really hilly out in Galena. It's unlikely I'll be running 6:20s. But in order to race at your relative fitness, you must know how it feels to run at your race pace in order to manage your effort. Because then comes 16.8 miles of cycling, again in the hills. Followed by 4.2 more miles of running with a brick in your legs.
So to begin preparing for the bike segment, I rode out to our local hill called Johnson's Mound to do hill repeats earlier this week. It was really windy on the way west to the forest preserve. I'd ridden 50 miles the day before and could really feel that in my legs. But as you roll along the lactic acid flows out of your muscles and you prepare for a new round of anaerobic goo. It's what we do.
Johnson's Mound sticks up like a lone boob from the Illinois landscape. It's a kame formation laid down by glaciers 10,000 years ago. Once farmed, it's now a park with a winding road that circles its backside and then launches up the north face in a series of four semi-switchbacks. It really resembles those climbs on the Tour de France, and there is a 9% grade I believe at one point. Several seasons ago I led a friend into the preserve who did not know about the hill. As he climbed with me I heard the definite use of a French word that begins with an F and ends with either a Q or a K with an ER added on the end.
Rite of passage
It's a tough little hill, and I first ran it with my high school cross country team back in 1971. It was a rude surprise to me then. Since that time I have run up Johnson's Mound hundreds of times. Way back when I was racing fit at 31:00 10K pace, I would train on Johnson's Mound to prepare for hillier races. I knew that I was ready for a good effort when I could run from the woods entrance around the main road and up to the top of the circuit in 3:00 or under. That meant I could race under 5:00 pace even in the hills. That strategy once delivered a 20:00 flat four-mile at a very hilly race in Glen Ellyn, Illinois where I got beat by two seconds in one of the most thrilling race finishes in my life. You don't win them all, but an honest effort feels almost as good as winning. And that one felt honest.
Modern pain
This time riding the same circuit on the bike I came round at just under 2:30 in four out of the six repeats. There's a Strava segment on that stretch of park road that tells you how you compare to other riders. There are tons of riders here who use , for hillwork during training season. The All Time fastest climb belongs to a pair of excellent riders named Nathan Troia and David Ross. They climbed the segment at 39 seconds. My best All Time is 1:22. And that really hurt. So they're some 40 seconds faster than me on that climb.
Truth be told, there are plenty of CATEGORY 1, 2 and 3 riders in our area, so I'm not too upset that that on that segment I rank 93rd overall. I'm kind of a marginal CAT 4 rider, and that's only when I'm really fit. Otherwise I hang out and CAT 5 and try to stick with the bunch finish.
New Goals
I'll be out to improve on that approach this year, starting with a new goal of getting up that climb in under a minute. That will mean 1) I've likely lost some weight and 2) I'm ready for challenges like the Horribly Hilly 100 in Wisconsin and other rides mapped out for the year.
I'm built a bit like a climber. Of course, I'm also built a bit like a runner. So there's this strange balance that goes on between your speed in running and the muscle needed to be a fast cyclist. In some ways they're the same, but in many ways they're different.
In any case, together they add up to greater fitness overall. There's a definite benefit of general aerobic fitness. It's called cross-training in everyday nomenclature. Not an effort is wasted, in other words. The flats help the hills, and the hills help the flats. In between lie the peaks and valleys of mental preparation, and how bad you really want to succeed.
It's a fascinating landscape, this world of running and riding. In the end, it's a topography of the mind.

i admit. i was reluctant to buy a new PC, and was actually thinking about buying a Mac, because of all the bad reviews Windows 8 got. but i was forced to use it because my sister gave me a new laptop as a Christmas gift. and to be honest, i LOVE Windows 8. is it a little confusing confusing when i first got it? yes...as is anything new and unfamiliar. but once i figured it out, my experience with Windows 8 is better than my experience with any other Windows before it.
and I have never had a PC that booted of this fast before. windows 8 literally boots right up as soon as you press the power button. there's no loading screen or anything. it literally goes straight to the login screen.
and windows 8 gives you a lot more ways to customize and personalize it than any windows before it. when i first got it, it took me more than an hour to set up not because it really takes that long to set up but because of all the different ways you can customize it.

Those Mucci's doughnuts you're obsessed with aren't long for this world
Folks: Doughnuts are good.
But even in a city increasingly flooded with them, a darling stands out among fried dough fans. We're talking about the weekend-morning-only doughnuts at Mucci's Italian, which—both because they're limited and because they're delicious—regularly have folks lining up at the corner of Randolph Ave. and View St in St. Paul.
But those hulking, colorful cult favorites are going away.
Mucci's shared the news on Facebook and Instagram earlier this week, where folks in the comments are yelling, cry-face-emoji-ing, or bargaining for some sort of once-a-month compromise.
"Listen up fam!" the post reads. "Mucci's Italian has loved bringing you delicious and unexpected doughnuts these past three years. While you may see them again in the future, our family has decided to discontinue weekly doughnut service."
You still have a little time left to tear into one of these flaky, tasty bad boys—they'll be available on weekends through Sunday, January 27—and it sounds like they're not going away forever.
Which makes them even rarer.
Which means... goddammit, now we want them even more.

Boundary Enforcement and National Security
Speech given at a fundraiser for La Coalición de Derechos Humanos, Tucson, Arizona, July 7, 2006.
Shortly after I arrived in Tucson in late
May to spend the summer, I was listening to Margo Cowan speak, and she
described southern Arizona -- given the level of immigration policing
and its effects -- as a "war zone." Around the sound time, I heard
Guadalupe Castillo categorize the region as an "occupied territory."
The U.S. is being invaded so silently and surreptitiously that most Americans are not even aware of it. The invaders come by land, sea and air. They fly commercial and private aircraft; they jump ship or sail their own boats; they scale mountains and swim rivers. Some have crawled through a mile-long tunnel; others have squeezed through the San Antonio sewerage system. No commandos or assault troops have shown more ingenuity and determination in storming a country that tries to keep them out.
It was in this political-rhetorical
context that we saw the beginnings of the U.S. border region's
militarization in its contemporary forms.
While the security risks that allegedly threaten the United States via its territorial boundaries -- especially the one between the U.S. and Mexico -- are numerous, the most important ones, at least as judged by the words of government officials, members of Congress, and media pundits, are would-be terrorists who enter the United States without inspection. They insist upon this despite the fact that U.S. authorities have caught exactly zero terrorists crossing the southern boundary. While physical security, in the face of would-be terrorists and, to a lesser extent, everyday violent crime committed by unauthorized migrants, seems to be the primary cause for concern, a significantly broader conceptualization of security is also very much present.
In talking about what he perceives as the
insufficiently guarded nature of the U.S.-Mexico boundary, for example,
J.D. Hayworth (R-Arizona), one of the leading forces in the House of
Representatives championing ever-greater levels of boundary enforcement
and author of the just-released Whatever It Takes: Illegal
Immigration, Border Security, and the War on Terror, states, "One
thing we understand about the nature of this problem is that is that it
transcends all others -- our national security, our economic security,
the future of Social Security -- all of these issues -- healthcare,
education -- all tie into this issue."

Skip to 0 minutes and 7 seconds Hungary and Poland, two relatively new, but not all that new, member states of the European Union have recently developed government which is democratic. And most Hungarian and Poland governments have democratic mandates that are supported by the majority in a parliament. But as their own leaders often say, they are not liberal democracies. Liberalism, certainly in Poland, is not generally seen as something positive. It is associated with anarchy. It is associated with a totally permissive society that everyone is willing, is able to do what one wants. So why are these illiberal democracies have been developing in Hungary and Poland? Well, to some extent, it is the unintended consequences of the transformation of economy and political systems in both countries.
Skip to 1 minute and 24 seconds So with new generations taking freedom and civil liberties for granted, they are at the same time dissatisfied with the achieved level of economic development. They are impatient to enjoy the same standards of living as Western countries of the European Union. And they are, of course, therefore open to argument of those political parties which promise them more, more welfare and better standards of living. The illiberal development also results from the perception of crisis, especially the recent refugee crisis in Europe, the possibility that cultural others in large number will appear.
Skip to 2 minutes and 28 seconds And as we know, Eastern European countries, Hungary especially, but also Poland, are very reluctant to receive refugees, are very reluctant to integrate them, prefer not to accept a large number of immigrants who would be culturally different. Hungary and Poland are both societies which have developed their identity on the basis of shared culture. And they are used to relative cultural homogeneity. There's very little experience in recent decades with cultural diversity, with pluralism. Therefore, the prospect of having to integrate cultural others sounds rather alarming to many people. There's also the question of accepting the system, which is not liberal, which limits civic liberties and pluralism, but which offers strong leadership. Both Hungary and Poland have such strong leaders.
Skip to 3 minutes and 49 seconds There's the Prime Minister Orban in Hungary. And in Poland, there's the head of the ruling party, the Law and Justice party, Mr. Jaroslaw Kaczynski, who is not officially either the president or the prime minister, but who has consolidated, really almost single-handedly, the total power. So he's really– he runs the country himself. And this is certainly not the liberal system. But there is a difference. In Hungary, Mr. Orban has had so-called the constitutional majority in parliament. He's got enough majority in the parliament to legally change the constitution. So he may say he has democratic support to do whatever he wants in the country, including to change the constitution. In Poland, Mr. Kaczynski and his party do not have a constitutional majority.
Skip to 4 minutes and 58 seconds They have the absolute majority in the parliament, but they do not have enough majority to change the constitution. Therefore in Poland, the main development in recent political development, in recent months, has been to incapacitate or even effectively destroy the Constitutional Court, the main element of the system of justice, which by Polish law is able to– by constitutional law is able to control the government, to control the legislative power, to decide whether the legislation is in agreement with the constitution or not. So for the authoritarian ambitions of the new leader, it was essential to control the Constitutional Court.
Skip to 5 minutes and 48 seconds So at present, there is a kind of struggle in Poland between the opposition and the new civil society organizations and the government over what's going to be the future of the Constitutional Court. The government's argument is that they have the democratic mandate. They have the majority. They say they speak in the name of the people of the nation, while the opposition says that the law has to be maintained, the law has to be observed or respected, and the checks and balances must remain in existence in the country. So this is very much the discussion about what is democracy, what democracy is about, and what will be the future of those countries which have this kind of debate.
Illiberal democracy on the rise? The case of Hungary and Poland
In this video, Professor Mach explains the rise of illiberal democracy in Hungary and Poland.
Hungary and Poland have recently developed governments that are democratic, but, as their own leaders often say, are not liberal democracies. The governments have democratic mandates from the Hungarian and Polish parliaments, meaning they are supported by the majority in the parliament, but tend to ignore rule of law and other elements of liberal democracy.
Why have these illiberal democracies been developing in Hungary and Poland?

Oct 12, 2015 We are open today, October 12, Indigenous Peoples Day. Columbus did not discover America
My son and I with American Indian Movement co-Founder Dennis Banks, after the completion of the Longest Walk 2, July 2008. Learn more about Dennis here
My law firm is open today, Indigenous Peoples Day, even though the Virginia courthouses are closed.
Columbus did not discover America, although his visits to the Western hemisphere did lead to European imperialism's spread to the Western Hemisphere, and to centuries of misery and worse to the hemisphere's native people.
CNN recently reported that "16 states, including Alaska, Hawaii and Oregon, don't recognize Columbus day as a public holiday. South Dakota has celebrated Native American Day since 1990." Let's sooner rather than later add to that list the federal government, the remaining thirty-four states, and all municipalities.
Lyndon Johnson and the Congress were sorely misguided in making Columbus day a federal holiday in 1968, which happened in the process of legislating three then-existing federal holidays to Mondays.
The Columbus Day holiday is all the more misguided when no federal holiday exists to remember the Native Americans who suffered tremendously from the lengthy, brutal and unjust treatment that followed over the years and centuries after Columbus's arrival in the Western hemisphere. Thanksgiving is not a sufficient substitute to remember and honor Native Americans, since Thanksgiving is not focused solely on native Americans and because it stems from the seventeenth century, long before people like George Custer waged violence on Indians and long before the United States government forced Indian children to boarding schools to try to de-Indianize them.
Thanks to the governments, businesses, other organizations, and individuals who decline to celebrate Columbus day. Let us keep that trend snowballing.

Milk, Meat From GMO-Fed Cows Won't Need to Be Labeled
In a compromise reached today in the U.S. Senate, milk and meat from cows fed genetically-modified (GMO) crops won't have to be labeled as GMO food.
The National Milk Producers Federation applauded the move: "This is an important, common sense provision," says Jim Mulhern, CEO and President of the National Milk Producers Federation.
"Milk and meat are not genetically modified just because the cows consume biotech feed, just like humans are not genetically modified by consuming foods derived from biotechnology."
The bill would allow companies a number of labeling options to disclose what is in products, including quick-response (QR) codes, 800-numbers, package labeling and websites. And by setting a national standard, the measure would pre-empt state labeling laws.
Perhaps most importantly, a national standard removes the stigmatization that comes with explicit language on food products, says Ron Moore, a soybean grower from Roseville, Ill., and first vice president of the American Soybean Association.
"We've seen time and time again that regardless of the repeated proven safety of GMOs, consumers react negatively when presented with a product containing a warning label," said Moore. "If consumers panic and run from these products based on false stigmatization, companies are forced to reformulate away from this safe and affordable technology. Not only would this result in food more expensive food for consumers, but prices for soybean producers would fall sharply."
NMPF urged the Senate vote on the measure before Vermont's GMO-labeling law goes into effect July 1. Even if it does, the House has adjourned for the July 4th holiday. Both must pass the measure before it can be sent to the President for signature.

Gold Price: Some Movement With Doubt Lingering in the Stock Market
The price of gold made an early jump on Wednesday morning, pressing as much as $10 per troy ounce ahead while the U.S. stock markets showed signs of lagging. Although the Dow Jones Industrial Average recently set another closing record as it flirted with 23,600 points, there has been some doubt in financial news, especially with a recent Reuters report that highlighted some issues with the much-publicized Republican tax plan. What does this mean for the prospects of gold's price, and what's happening in the U.S. dollar that could change that?
Gold Experts Watching the News for Interest Rates
As Reuters reported, an analyst for Societe Generale Robin Bhar said that an expected December rate hike from the Federal Reserve is currently "baked" into the market expectations. That means that even with an interest rate hike occurring, there likely wouldn't be any sudden movement from the markets, which already sees the rate hike coming.
But the recent news of a potential delay of the implementation of the Republican tax plan—Reuters notes that Senate leaders are currently debating a delay due to Senate rules—has sent the U.S. dollar index a little low. Bhar believes that the tax plan, if passed, could potentially spell more rate hikes for the U.S. next year, but if the delay does occur, the Fed might be more "relaxed" in its approach. Because gold can be reactive to interest rate changes, these are important stories to watch—with the tax plan's potential implementation driving the headlines.
Conflicting Reports about Gold Demand
Gold demand is always a key indicator of where the price will go. Recent demand from India suggested that the price for gold could stay relatively muted in coming months, although some watching the geopolitical headlines—most notably as of late, the power struggles in Saudi Arabia—could keep the demand for a hedge against the markets up. That seems to be a running theme throughout 2017, and for investors looking for a hedge, it appears very little will change in the coming months.
As always, it's the unpredictability of world events that helps propel the strength of gold. Although the headlines with North Korea have cooled as of late compared to the summer, it will remain another geopolitical issue to watch, even late in 2017. Perfectly timing and anticipating the unexpected is impossible in a sensitive world market, even if stock prices remain high for the time being.
Banking Stocks and Dollar Confidence Low
Financial stocks recently took a little hit, which helped dragged down the stock market, and this was followed with a decrease in the dollar. That tends to mean higher prices for gold. It's possible that some are seeing a weakness in the confidence of the "Trump economy," referring to the new highs and records set by the Dow Jones Industrial Average throughout the Trump administration. If geopolitical headlines continue their current course and investors lose confidence in stocks, precious metals like gold may be some of the few hedges investors have.

(I was just going do a post about my recent trip to Sydney when I found this piece about our trip already so perfectly written by one of the most adventurous souls I know, Fia. I decided to keep the title as this was my second time visiting too, since the last time I stepped foot in Sydney in 2009. Easily one of the perks of having a QUT student blogger and an incredible photographer as your best friend. Read her original piece over here).
Especially in the beginning of summer.
I felt lucky, with time and prodigious boundary size of mine dragged me to be able to explore. I mean, everywhere in Australia clearly is not a cheap destination compared to my travels to local cities in Indonesia. But there I was, graduating soon enough and I'm going to explore the city one last time in a while.
The holiday started out by hunting a promotional airplane ticket by Tiger Airways; TigerAir Tuesday, where they discount the price every now and then for certain dates. The ticket was $150 return Brisbane – Sydney. The budget trip took us to another level; we rented out a private room hostel in Kings Cross Station (we didn't know then it was a party area, there was loud music now and then but we were pretty much a heavy sleeper), Astoria Pop Space. The place was near the Kings Cross train station and the train is pretty much the most effective public transport the whole time I was there. The time spent was 4 nights.
The first day we arrived quite late, so the only thing we explored was dinner around Kings Cross. We found this underground restaurant, looked much like a bar as the place was so dark. Turned out to be Ms.G's Restaurant, the best Asian fusion restaurant I've ever tried in my life. As an Asian, the recipe is approved. Best food: Cheeseburger Springroll, Silken Tofu, and Baby snapper with sambal balado.
The next day we spent the whole day as a tourist and did a lot of photoshoot. I like to take pictures more than taken, so here are the photographs I took, mostly of my weird friends Amanda Indriani and Sara Setiadi.
Sydney's festive displays on George St.
Mr. Wong. A popular Chinese restaurant that I think is overrated and overpriced.
Wendy Witheley Garden – one of Sydney's best kept secrets.
Hopping around Luna Park.
Opera House in the golden hour.. is so great for my Canon EOS40D to be in action!
Sunset session was over and we sipped Sauvignon Blanc with oysters for share
together with this view!
The next day, the day started off with brunch at the Sydney Fish Market. We had a fight though with a bunch of seagulls and an ibis who decided to take three slices of fresh salmons off our plates! Lol, it was so fun nonetheless.
Essentially a seafood paradise
Darling Harbour's Tumbalong Playground Park
We spent the afternoon eating McDonalds $0.75 ice cream while sitting down on the side, planning on how to slide on the playground slide without destroying the children's dreams, and also talking about marriage… how we're going to face adultery and many other dark stuff.. WHOOPS! however we ended up playing on the playground and not give a damn about that part of life, and kept thinking like a child because we're on holidays after all!
Well the day didn't end there, but I went to a rock show afterwards. It was Neck Deep in Metro Theatre, Sydney. I don't have pictures but I have some videos that I will keep to myself and my instagram for 24 hours.
The next day, we needed fresher air. So off to Bondi we went.
It's true that hanging around the beach makes you hungry at the end. So we went off directly back to town, Chinatown, to try one of the best ramen known to asian people in the city ~ Ramen Kan. IT'S SO GOOD.
The last day was spent in The Grounds of Alexandria for both brunch and coffee hour. The place is too crowded, but we were too tired to explore with our three suitcases tagging along.
Your feminine side will definitely go out when you're here, it's all garden and being cute. They managed to blow out some snow in the middle of the day in the Christmas aisle. It was hot that day, but the glass houses filled with plants kept us lukewarm.
Since one of the chef is a friend of ours, she ended up bringing her recipe for us, a recipe that she brought to the restaurant; Mango Parfait! It tasted amazing.
We were accompanied by Fluffy, the house's bird pet! He just sat there without anything to tie him, he was just amongst us minding his own business with the passionfruit that he showed off on purpose.
This girls trip is just what I needed while waiting for graduation. Cheers to these two!

* C$ closes lower at 97.99 U.S. cents
* C$ hits multi-year highs vs euro, sterling
* Bond prices gain across the curve
TORONTO, May 13 (Reuters) - The Canadian dollar fell slightly against the U.S. dollar on Thursday as prices for oil and other riskier assets were hit by soft U.S. jobs data and worries that growth in Europe will slow, which pushed the market towards the safe-haven greenback.
But the Canadian currency made further gains against the euro, rising as high as C$1.2723, or 78.60 euro cents, its strongest level since July 2001.
It also hit a multi-year high versus sterling at C$1.4840, or 67.39 pence.
"The market is seeking a non-European bid and Canada's attributes are compelling," said Jack Spitz, managing director of foreign exchange at National Bank Financial.
While investors were relieved by news that heavily indebted Spain and Portugal were taking steps to cut budget deficits, they also feared this would slow down euro zone growth. They fretted as well about growth risks in the British economy. [FRX/]
Also spoiling appetite for risk was data that showed the number of U.S. workers filing for jobless benefits fell slightly last week, suggesting the U.S. unemployment rate will remain elevated even as recovery in the labor market becomes entrenched. [ID:nN13144732]
The commodity-linked Canadian dollary was affected by falling oil prices, which dropped on high U.S. inventories and the concerns about economic recovery. [O/R]
Before Thursday, the Canadian dollar put in four sessions of gains, supported by Canada's relatively healthy fundamentals and a spate of data showing faster-than-expected economic recovery.
"On a relative basis Canada looks quite good," said Mark Chandler, head of Canadian fixed income and currency strategy at RBC Capital Markets.
"If the thing that markets are going to worry themselves about right now is debts and deficits then Canada stands to do relatively well on the currency front as a result."
The Canadian dollar finished the North American
session at C$1.0205 to the U.S. dollar, or 97.99 U.S. cents,
down from C$1.0198 to the U.S. dollar, or 98.06 U.S. cents, at
Wednesday's close. Earlier in the day, it traded as high as
98.91 U.S. cents, its highest level in more than a week, and as
low as 97.96.
Canadian government bond prices edged higher across the curve, following U.S. Treasuries, which rose as losses in the euro and struggling North American stocks enhanced the allure of safe-haven government debt.
Price gains were limited, however, by some minor disappointment over the results of a U.S. auction of $16 billion of 30-year bonds.
"A poorly received auction put some pressure on bonds ... but the dominant move in bonds late in the day was weak equity markets," Chandler said.
The two-year government bondwas up 14 Canadian cents to C$99.12 to yield 1.942 percent, while the 10-year bond jumped 67 Canadian cents to C$99.87 to yield 3.516 percent.
Canadian bonds outperformed their U.S. counterparts across the curve. The Canadian 10-year bond yield was 2.7 basis points below the U.S. 10-year yield, compared with 2.5 basis points above on Wednesday.
In new issues, the province of New Brunswick sold C$500 million ($490 million) of 10-year notes. [ID:nN13182789]
The province of Ontario sold C$750 million of 10-year notes in a reopening of an existing 4.2 percent issue. [ID:nN13271472] (Additional reporting by Ka Yan Ng, editing by Peter Galloway)
