I've been out of town three of the last four weeks. As I sort pictures and memories now, I'm happy to share the fun.
Asheville, North Carolina is known as the Austin of the East. Truly, even to local Carolinians. Quirky, musical, artistic and beer-loving. Not to mention beautiful.
Denny and I stayed at the historic Grove Park Inn on a hill north of downtown Asheville.
Built in 1912 by hand from boulders (not stones, boulders) quarried at nearby Sunset Mountain.
When I walked into the soaring big-timbered lobby, it felt like entering a Harry Potter mountain lodge. The cage-fronted elevator, hand operated by a cheerful staffer, opens from a side door into a massive stone fireplace...the closest we'll ever get to travel by flue. Grove Park Inn elevator entrance--->
Our room was near F. Scott Fitzgerald's favorite room, which he chose for the view of arriving coaches from which he could spec potential feminine companionship. Zelda was resident in Asheville's Highland Mental Hospital at the time.
View toward Asheville and the Blue Ridge Mountains, on the opposite side of the Inn from Mr. Fitzgerald's favorite view.
If you ever visit Asheville, take the Grove Park Inn's historical tour, followed by lunch on Sunset Terrace for the view above. Margaret Mitchell, author of Gone With the Wind, spent her honeymoon at the Grove Park. There are stories of presidential visits past and present. And you'll want to hear about the The Pink Lady, resident ghost of room 545. She's said to be flirtatious and to show up in photographs. Not mine.
Then stop in at the two galleries on the property, Gallery of the Mountains inside the hotel and Grovewood Gallery next door. I plan to buy everything in the galleries when I win the lottery. But especially the gorgeous and original woven bead jewelry of Amolia Willowsong. (Gallery of the Mountains)
<---Willowsong's Southern Skies necklace, photo by Cheryl Lincoln.
And a couple of these hand-carved hardwood rockers by retired surgeon Joe Godfrey (Grovewood Gallery). Carved to comfort your spine, I'm pretty sure the rocking does the same for the soul.
If you plan to go on a weekend, take yourself early or expect to wait because a big congregation believes in the Cafe's Sweet Potato Pancake. Fluffy but substantial buttermilk batter underwritten by sweet orange goodness with just enough spice, then jazzed by Grandma's Maple Granola inside. Cooked up, then topped by a dollop of whipped peach-butter surrounded by a generous handful of spiced pecans, it's the definition of righteousness. Add a light drizzle of orange-blossom-scented Tupelo Honey and you've got heaven.
Plan on taking half of it home with you--you'll be able to keep your jeans buttoned and it's just as good the next day.
Afterward you'll want a little walk to enjoy the mountain air.
And the sights. If you're lucky, the Flying Nun will bless you as he makes his rounds.

Update of a database of host plants of Xylella fastidiosa: 20 November 2015
Xylella fastidiosa, extensive literature search, plant health, host plant species, database
First published in the EFSA Journal:
9 February 2016
23 December 2015
Scientific Report of EFSA
Following a request from the European Commission, EFSA was tasked to periodically update its database of host plants of Xylella fastidiosa which was published in April 2015. An extensive literature search approach was used for updating the database in order to catch all new scientific developments published on the topic. Furthermore, the outputs of investigations conducted on host plants affected by X. fastidiosa in the Italian and French outbreaks were included. Literature screening and data extraction were performed using the Distiller platform. The protocol and the guideline applied for the Extensive Literature Search and for the update of the database are described in this report. The current version of the database includes reports of hosts of X. fastidiosa published up to 20 November 2015. The current list of X. fastidiosa host plant species consists of 359 plant species (including hybrids) from 204 genera and 75 different botanical families. Compared to the previous database, 44 new species and 2 new hybrids, 15 new genera and 5 new families were found. The majority of the additional species (70%) were reported in Apulia, Corsica and southern France.

March, 2013: I just landed at Manila airport. The beauty pigeon's airport itself did not seem glamorous to me. After passing the immigration counter, we found ourselves standing outside the airport in the capital city of Philippines surrounded by friendly taxi drivers and literally felt the warmth (an early spring day in Philippines is so hot that a fish can be fried without oven).
The cab in Manila made its zigzag way through the road amidst cars, buses, rickshaws and people coming from all direction leading to mini traffic jam in each lane, provided there was a notion of lane. Dodo, my toddler, although tired from past ~ 24 hours journey from USA to Manila, sat straight and exclaimed "crazy, damn crazy"! I watched the city's skyline, roadside brick buildings breathing close to each other. Ah, what a homely feeling! Nothing is different from what I have seen in India.
Our cab passed the Roxas Boulevard running along scenic Manila Bay. Roxas was formerly known as Dewey Boulevard named after the American Admiral under whose command the Spanish navy was defeated in the Battle of Manila Bay more than a century ago. It derives present name in the honor of President Manuel Roxas, the fifth president of Philippines. Accustomed to frequent street renaming in Calcutta, I kept feeling at home.
Next, check into the hotel and get ready for the day. Shortly I got a call from REEF. And I remembered the unforgettable forgetting. Back in January there was a change in initial plan; we were supposed to be picked up directly from airport and to head towards the province of Zambales. The fact complete slipped of mind while juggling with office priorities. Ralph (REEF's founder) and Grace (REEF's Philippines Operations head) were about to report to police that a family went missing in Philippines! We packed and were on the way to Candelaria, Zambales.
Manila to Candelaria of the province of Zambales is ~4 hours drive. After crossing the city of Manila landscape is tree lined, sometimes curvy mountain road ragged over the sea. We stopped at Subic city in the evening. It was one of the largest US military facilities outside of mainland USA during American colonial period in Philippines. MV Logos Hope, the largest among the floating libraries anchored in Subic Bay same time of last year to bring knowledge, help and hope to local folks, especially children. We walked around and had dinner. Filipino people consume k, vegetables and herbs. Curries are neither spicy nor oily. Tropical country offers variety of fruits. A green mango shake complemented our dinner.
It was night when we arrived at the town of Candelaria. Provincials believe that the name means a place of many candles as once the place used to have many candles. Jet lagged, we soon felt asleep.
Next morning I would wake up in a two storied wooden house to discover a splendid architecture. Philippine islands have two seasons – dry and wet. To stay cool during prolonged warm months the rustic house has wall to wall ventilation, big windows, large balconies shaded to shelter from the rain and sun. Near the windows the locals put a small coffee table and a pair of chairs – 'Merienda' (late morning/afternoon snacks) place. People here go to bed late and start day late. They grab four meals in a day breakfast, late morning snacks, lunch, afternoon snacks and dinner. After breakfast we went to a fishermen's neighborhood, boarded a raw yacht and toured the Patipur island, which welcomed us with little bamboo huts, shades and lukewarm water of South China Sea.

CJAM FM Pledge Drive 2013 & Show # 481
CJAM FM first began on the FM dial in November of 1983. The station began its FM status on 91.5 FM on the radio dial in the Windsor/Detroit area and after being on that frequency for over 25 years went through the process of a signal change. In the process they secured a protected signal status and began anew on 99.1 FM on the FM dial in the Windsor/Detroit area. Prior to that CJAM was an AM station and existed in a limited range of frequency around the University of Windsor campus. Campus/Community radio when it started in the late 80's provided a voice for all things underground and alternative to the mainstream, it created a network of artists and connections for bands and artists alike. Bands such as Shadowy Men On A Shadowy Planet, Deja Voodoo, The Gruesomes, Thrush Hermit, Eric's Trip and countless other Canadian independent artists would not have had a voice if it were not for Campus/Community radio. CJAM was and still is one of those stations that offer a different point of view and an alternative to the oversaturated and monotonous mainstream media, not just in the realm of music in differing genres, but also in the spoken word and ethno-cultural categories. And while in today's age, even though we have the advent and convenience of the internet, there is still an oversaturation of sorts to a degree. A station like CJAM proves that Campus/Community radio is still relevant regardless of whether it is 2013 or 1983. It still provides that underground network and alternative point of view that just cannot be replicated elsewhere and it urges you to think differently.
This year CJAM is celebrating its 30th anniversary as a non-profit Campus/Community radio station in the Windsor/Detroit area. Being non-profit means the station relies on donations from its yearly pledge drive to keep thriving and growing. CJAM is working towards its goal of increasing its signal strength to reach a wider audience and that in addition to the usual budgetary expenses such as equipment, etc. are great reasons to support this station. For this year's pledge drive CJAM has a goal of raising $30,000, thirty for thirty. On my program today a healthy amount of pledges were raised and donated, but CJAM FM still needs your support. By donating to CJAM there are many incentives to offer as a thank you, including this year's t-shirt. You can view a list of incentives here. You can still donate online by visiting www.cjam.ca and clicking the "donate" button, which is done securely through PayPal. If you are in the Windsor area you can also call 519-971-3630 or if you are in the Detroit and out of town area you can call 1-855-344-2526 to pledge.
Pledge Drive 2013 Play List:
1. Shadowy Men On A Shadowy Planet - Good Cop, Bad Cop
2. 45 Grave - Party Time

16 & 17 April 2011
On the Saturday I was meant to go to the dinner event. I had changed my clothes and had organized a way back home for the night.v Then as I was about to leave it started to rain. I changed back and was upset so i stayed in bed. Now I should explain that I can't afford to get sick as I have to be healthy for the bone marrow transplant (bmt) since being sick will mean that they can't go ahead with it. I didn't do much that night I had called and asked my friends to come over after dinner. But they finished at like 9.30pm, it was getting late and I needed to sleep not to mention the neighbors complained about noise and my uncle and this place got a letter from management to keep the noise down. This is so lame as we tried to be quite anyway eg only ever having the tv turned to a audible volume, whispering at night and etc
They should've just confronted the people being loud but no, instead they went to management.
So Saturday was pretty much uneventful as I couldn't go anywhere because of the rain.
Sunday I was meant to go out to cube draft but it was a cloudy day and I was feeling tired so I had to call it off and instead they had to come over later in the day. This is my schedule for an ordinary day
6am wake up
6:10 do my leg exercises
7:30 blog/play on iPhone
8:30 ask uncle to have breakfast made while it's made i brush my teeth
8:40 eat breakfast
9:10 do anything
12:00 ask uncle to have lunch made
12:15 have lunch
13:00 do anything, usually tv
17:00 eat dinner
18:00 do anything, again it's usually tv
22:00 shower with help from my uncle
22:30 brush my teeth
22:40 sleep
Of course there's bathroom time when I need to go. I snack in between meals sometimes too full for lunch.

Warlords Battlecry III Free Download for PC Full Version
Warlords Battlecry III further expands the Battlecry tradition of featuring persistent RPG-like fantasy heroes with its retinue of loyal followers fighting massive battles in the Warlords' world of Etheria.
Warlords Battlecry III is a true sequel to Warlords Battlecry I & II, featuring many familiar races and troop-types, while also adding some new ones into the mix.
Warlords Battlecry III continue to perfect its automated feature system, greatly reducing gameplay micromanagement and quickly proving to be the holy grail of RTS games among gamers of the genre.
While being a strong RTS outright, there are also numerous activities for players to engage in between battles, such as obtaining titles and awards, trading and purchasing items & retinue members, and even an upgradeable castle to reflect your importance and influence in the world of Etheria.
Extra features included in Warlords Battlecry III are specifically geared to please the legions of previous Battlecry players, including the removal of hero and unit caps, the addition of new special abilities for high-level heroes and the creation of an intuitive hero system. All of these features, coupled with new races and hero classes, new spells and items, and new building and dragons meld to form a Real-Time Strategy game that once again raises the benchmark for other games in the genre. Warlords Battlecry III is poised to receive even greater accolades than the previous award-winning titles in the Warlords Battlecry series.
Key Features
>> Sixteen different races, twenty-eight different classes.
>> More than one hundred and thirty spells over thirteen different spheres of magic. New Magic Items many of them special & rare, some even able to cast spells.
>> Plaguelords, Saurians, Swarm. The old Human side will be split into Knights & Empire. This will include new units and new buildings.
>> All of your old favorites plus eight new classes combine together in a new hero system that is easier to learn but harder to master than before. Take heroes beyond level 50. Gain levels while actually playing the game.
>> Rock & Lava terrain, along with Jungle, Ruins and subterranean caverns.
>> Players will be able to produce six different coloured dragons all with unique abilities and breath weapons.
>> Many different shops will allow players to purchase items & troops to aid them in battle. The variety of different Lairs will produce neutral units that will roam the map seeking out trouble.
Warlords Battlecry III Review
An absolutely incredible RTS with heavy RPG elements, Warlords Battlecry III is still one of my favorite games to this day. With almost a dozen and a half well-balanced races to choose from, the replayability value is absolutely insane and every race has several viable strategies that will work to use their strengths against their opponents' weaknesses. Creating your leader, a hero, is also extremely rewarding from the nearly infinite number of builds that you could create.
The gameplay and story are a worthy pairing for the mechanics even if it does sound somewhat familiar to that of a standard adventure RPG cliche. A great evil is rising and threatens to overtake the world. Your chosen faction is determined to defeat it and, through your choices, you will make many allies and enemies of the other factions as you travel throughout the world accomplishing what you must to do so. The world map is interesting with lore behind every location and tons and tons of content to explore as the game is very non-linear. Combat is also a fun experience where each faction's strengths and weaknesses can be used to your advantage. Each faction has its own unique units and buildings as well as its own level of priority for the four resources of the game. For example, the Dwarves faction uses a ton of metal, the Daemons are heavily based on stone and crystal, and the Empire prioritizes gold, though, each of these factions will find itself needed at least a little of these key resources to truly build a respectable army.
Your faction, whether you choose a fantasy classic like the Knights or Dark Elves, or a more unique one like the disease-carrying Plague Lords, or the lizardman-like Ssrathi, is an absolute blast to play. Each has a list of armies and buildings that are almost entirely different from the other races as well as a separate tech tree. Your hero, however, is the ultimate icing on the cake in my opinion. With sixteen races and twenty-eight classes to choose from you could never tire of trying out different combinations to create vastly different heroes. Each race provides six skills for you hero and each class does the same. Each level that you achieve in the game provides you with a point to improve these skills and further improve and specialize your build.
I would recommend this game to all RTS fans as well as those who love fantasy RPGs. This is a great game that to this day I don't tire of. I purchased it instantly as soon as I saw it on Steam and wanted to get the word out that it is an absolute gem!

"You drive me crazy", a rough translation from the song's original title "Impazzivo per te". Adriano Celentano from Milano is the grand old man of italian rock and pop. Born 1938 he started his career at the end of the fifties. This is from 1962, one year after my Vespa GS was built. I think this is very great, che passione! Other great songs from him are "24 mila baci" and "Il ragazzo della via Glück".
Look at the pelvis movements, who is Elvis Presley?
Mai, mai, mai, piuuu!

But wondrous as it may be, there's still one tiny detail it can't quite do for my HP Mini 1001TU: the internal mic is still useless.
Good thing it's Christmas already and so as geeky as I am, electronics wormed its way into my gift shopping list. Thus I ended up swiping my new credit card at the nearby Apple reseller store and got myself in pretext for an early Yuletide present for myself (or one of a number of presents I plan to gift myself with - I could be Ebenezer Scrooge's kin for all I know and for my utter "me, myself and I" lovin'), an Apple iPhone 3G set of earbuds!
I've been reading for a long while in forums that it should work with the HP Mini under Mac OS X but I didn't know for sure but now I know. And I'm a believer. ;-)
Its mic works well with the HP Mini 1001TU; I only have to plug it into the port and voilà, I've got mic and am ready to Skype! :D
You'd need to go to System Preferences > Sound > Input tab to set the mic's volume and then you're good to go.
Sound quality is very decent, just as is expected of Apple hardware. As for performance, the current VoodooHDA.kext is sufficient. I don't crank up the mic's volume to max levels, highest I'd recommend would be one notch before the last notch on the slider bar. Anything beyond that creates static which causes buzzes and echoes in your ear as the mic catches sound. Audio file resulting from recording via QuickTime X doesn't seem to register the aforementioned buzzes and echoes when played later on tho.
Also, upon resuming from sleep, the mic won't work - not really "not work" but you have to go back to Sys Pref > Sound > Input tab > and move the volume slider a bit to get back on track.
The volume (+,-) controller doesn't allow you set volume up or down, of course (it would've been too perfect - even older iPods can't take advantage of this set of controls; only the newer iPods and iPhone can)
Oh and by the way, this is the VoodooHDA.kext that I use - it allows me to adjust volume via volume control on the menubar or the fn+Function toggle keys. Or you may use the official VoodooLabs release of VoodooHDA.kext so you get a prefPane and experiment with more settings to suit your tastes.

Hi!! I'm still alive--promise! (And missing you all more than you know!). Life has been BUSY...I'm currently searching for a new apartment, finishing up grad school technicalities (I've decided to stay in DC for my master's!) working full time at Sweetgreen, and enjoying every minute living in a city I love, surrounded by people I love more.
There's so much to share, so how about a mini-slideshow?
Idaho State Society STOMP!
Basically a bunch of DC-living Idahoans gathered together and danced into the wee hours of the night to Blue Grass and Country music!
fellow plaid-loving Idahoans...my brother is in the middle
Uncle Kent's Visit--Dinner at Bistro La Bonne
Moules Marinieres--steamed in white wine, shallots, garlic & parsley
I'm not a huge fan of mussels' texture, but the wine-butter sauce these were cooked in was scrumptious!
Pave de Saumon au Jus de Langouste--salmon filet with forestiere mash, ratatouille & lobster bisque sauce
INCREDIBLE salmon entree! Everything was cooked perfectly, and the flavors--including the lobster bisque sauce, which I was skeptical about--really melded togther well.
I enjoyed Bistro La Bonne, and will definitely return in the near future. It's hard to believe, but this was the first TRULY French restaurant I've ever dined at!
And No French meal is complete without roses from a monsieur lover unlce! :-)
Blogger Meet Up: Dinner at Neyla
Last night I met Lauren, from Biochemista, for a fantastic meal at Neyla in Georgetown. Lauren and I have been trying to get together for over a month, but our crazy schedules kept multiple dinner dates from atually happening! I guess sixth time's the charm!
I completely forgot to snap a picture of Lauren, but not to worry, I'm sure she'll be appearing on the blog again very soon! We had so much fun chatting!
For my entree, I chose the shrimp kebab:
Jumbo Shrimp Kebab--Lemon/Oregano/Arugula Salad
Laura went with the chicken kebab:
Chicken Shish Taouk--Chicken Kabob/Garlic/ Lemon
And check out the bread basket!
I'd love to snag one--or 10! How much fun would it be to cook dinner and serve it to your guests in these?
And speaking of cooking...
Or the lack thereof...!!
There are 58 "must-make" recipes flagged in my Bookmarks tab. 58!
Oh dear.
And there are nearly fourteen times as many blog posts that I want to read!
In a perfect world my tastebuds would be tantalized by home-cooked dinners every night of the week. I would cook one, maybe two, of these recipes each day, and sit down and savor them with a glass of sweet wine while reading blogs and finding more recipes to bookmark.
My passion for getting creative in the kitchen is just as strong as ever, but the reality is that made-from-scratch meals have become more of the exception than the rule in my life over the past month. I finally understand what it's like to come home after a full day of work and--brace yourself--be too exhausted to cook. *gasp!*
Plus, check out my kitchen...
Hehe. Messy and man-ified! Not so conducive to cooking! And this is a good day!
I live with two undergraduate boys who are just learning how to carry their dishes to the sink. Next week we're going to work on loading them into the dishwasher. ;-) (**Brett and Jhaan, you know I love you!**).
Fortunately this kitchen situation is temporary! As I mentioned, I'm currently looking for a permanent place to live--a place where I can cook again! :-)
Don't get me wrong, I still turn on the stove most nights of the week. It's just that my meals generally require no more than 10-minutes cooking time. Eggs + cheese + greens is my go-to fuel.
sauteed Swiss chard in olive oil and garlic, scrambled egg, Laughing Cow Blue Cheese wedge
one egg + two egg whites, spinach, feta and mushroom omelet
Unless, that is, I turn to something that's been prepared for me.
Don't worry, I haven't stooped this low (yet!). We have access to thousands of packaged food items that are slapped with "good-for-you" food labels. The challenege is determining which of these foods truly are healthy.
The cover of the November issue of Women's Health magazine promises readers a list of "The Healthiest Foods for Women."
It turns out that this list is really a complilation of "The 125 Best Packaged Foods."
Nonetheless, I was excited to read this article, as I was hoping to find some new-to-me products worth trying.
First on the list?
Skinny Cow Strawberry Cheesecake ice cream cups
Followed by...
Smart Ones Peanut Butter Cup Sundae
Weight Watchers Chocolate Creme Cake
Healthy Choice Fresh Mixers Rotini and Zesty Marinara Sauce
DiGiorno 200-Calorie Portions Cheese and Tomato Pizza
Fiber One Lowfat Cottage Cheese
(do we really need to add fiber to cottage cheese?)
What do you think about these picks?
I was surprised and slightly dissapointed. While none of these foods is inherently bad--in fact they're far from it--I don't think that they deserve "health food" awards. Women's Health gave each of these picks a blue dot, which, according to the color code accompanying the article, indicates that they "promote weight loss."
That's what really hit a raw nerve.
Guys, I used to buy into the hype surrounding "diet" packaged foods. Let me tell you, they in no way promoted weight loss. Instead they left me feeling unsatisfied and craving the real thing. My package of Hostess 100 calorie pack cupcakes would turn into two...three...four!
There are so many better-for-you, artificial ingredient-free picks out there!
So, I present my own (very short) list of "The Healthiest Tastiest Packaged Real Foods for Women."
I like these foods because they contain real, recognizable ingredients. These are not "wonder foods," but they sure are tasty! I've just included those that I've eaten in the past two weeks and that I regularly stock in my apartment.
Alexia Sides Chipotle Roasted Sweet Potatoes
Just throw on the stove and serve with grilled chicken and a salad!
Stahlbush Island Farms Frozen Butternut Squash
I love it sauteed with a red onions and a touch of olive oil, then topped with feta cheese.
Lundberg Creamy Parmesan Risotto
AMAZING!! If you love risotto, TRY THIS!!!
Trader Joe's Chile Lime Chicken Burgers (no link)
Totally yummy! Serve with a big dollop of guacamole! Melted cheddar on top takes it to another level :-)
Al Fresco Spinach and Feta Chicken Sausage
The tastiest chicken sausage I've tried.
Tastes SO indulgent, but isn't! Possibly the BEST Amy's entree.
Haagen Dazs Tart Natural Frozen Yogurt
I think that this is the CREAMIEST frozen yogurt available in the grocery store. Sure, it doesn't replace the soft stuff you get at a fro yo shop, but when it's slightly melted (zap it in the microwave for 20 seconds), it sure comes close!
Ok, props to you if you're still with me! I apologize for the super long post! There's so much I've wanted to share lately, but there's been so little time.
I hope you all are enjoying your last week of October!
Much love, good eating and healthy, happy living! <3 xoxo
What's your favorite easy go-to meal?

The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) has begun distributing Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) rental payments to participants across the country.
USDA's Farm Service Agency administers CRP, while technical support functions are provided by public and private sector partners.
CRP is a voluntary program that helps agricultural producers safeguard environmentally sensitive land and provide millions of acres of habitat for game and non-game wildlife species.
Participants enroll in CRP contracts for 10 to 15 years. Currently, total CRP enrollment stands at 29.9 million acres.
"CRP protects millions of acres of American topsoil from erosion and is designed to safeguard the America's natural resources," said FSA Administrator Bruce Nelson.
"By reducing water runoff and sedimentation, CRP protects groundwater and helps improve the condition of lakes, rivers, ponds, and streams. Acreage enrolled in the CRP is planted to resource-conserving vegetative covers, making the program a major contributor to increased wildlife populations in many parts of the country."
The Commodity Credit Corporation (CCC) makes annual rental payments based on the agriculture rental value of the land, and it provides cost-share assistance for up to 50 percent of the participant's costs in establishing approved conservation practices.
USDA also issues non-rental CRP payments throughout the year. These payments include a 50 percent expense reimbursement for establishing and managing cover as well as incentive payments for enrolling eligible high priority conservation practices.
Beginning today (Oct. 6), producers holding 752,000 contracts on 417,000 farms will receive an average CRP rental payment of $55.06 per acre. Producers will earn an average payment of $4,115 per farm enrolled in the program.
Included in the totals are 414,000 contracts (5.1 million acres) for continuous CRP enrollments and 338,000 contracts (24.8 million acres) enrolled under general CRP. In all, the payments total approximately $1.7 billion.
A table, located at fsa.usda.gov/Internet/FSA_File/apportstate091311.pdf, lists acreage enrollments by state, number of contracts, number of farms, acres enrolled as of the end of the 2011 fiscal year and CRP projected rental payments for fiscal year 2012.

Privatizing Baseball
Baseball has always been a sport dominated by club owners and business goals, but Bob Herbert has a nice piece on the meaning of the replacement of affordable old stadiums with new corporate parks, all publicly-supported at some point in their construction. Yankee season tickets for a family of 4 were initially priced at $800,000. Herbert note a familiar pattern of absolutely upside-down priorities: "the auto industry is on its knees and we've got school buildings in sorry shape and we can't even rebuild a public hospital in New Orleans. But the Dallas Cowboys have a brand new billion-dollar-plus domed stadium that looks like something out of "Star Wars."

Sorry about that! Bit embarrassed now. Thankfully I am starting to feel a bit more human and promise to be brave next time and remember that the world isn't about to end every time I have a bad time on the drugs. And actually, it needs to be bad to beat all over the cancer. My cancer twin reminded me if that today and she's nails so you have to listen to her.
Normal service is resumed. Me and that devilishly handsome man of mine are going away for a swanky, romantic weekend, I'm booked in to get all my hair chopped off next week and it's my birthday in a couple of weeks. Not quite the birthday I was hoping for but there WILL be cake and that's the main thing.
Really sorry for being a big whingebag and scaring everyone. Scared myself for a bit but I think I'm back on track now.

'Coco leaves, right?' I asked our guide, Piero.
'Si, si, coca leaves, they will make you better.'
Coco leaves, where cocaine comes from, I'm thinking, as Piero nods enthusiastically.
We were half way along the famous Inca Trail to Machu Picchu, when the effects of altitude sickness caught up on me.
We had set off happily enough from our base camp near the Urubamba River, about 80km from Cusco at the start of the trail, but by day two we had gradually ascended until we were now at the appropriately named 'Dead Woman's Pass', at an oxygen-starved 4,200 metres.
A dull rumbling headache I felt as I tried to sleep in our tent the night before had steadily increased in intensity that left me dazed and stumbling the following morning.
Surprisingly, the rest of the group seemed relatively unaffected, including some who had arrived in Peru with me and so had spent the same time acclimatising before we made our bid to reach the famed Inca city.
With excitement mounting we headed off over our first water obstacle, the Vilcanota River, where we followed the trail as it climbed steeply up though a small village.
As I was to learn, the condition can strike any individual at any time, regardless of age or fitness level but sure enough the coco leaves seemed to alleviate the symptoms and soon I was hitting my stride once again and enjoying the walk.
And what a walk. Taking in beautiful mountain scenery, lush cloud-forest, subtropical jungle and stunning Inca paving stones, ruins and tunnels, it is no wonder that this famous trail is regularly declared one of the best in the world.
Winding its way for over 26 miles through the Andes, the trail offers a breath-taking mix of scenery and experiences and always has the final destination, Machu Picchu, the mysterious 'Lost City of the Incas' luring you onwards.
On the Inca Trail
We had set out from Cusco two days earlier, once the historical capital of the Inca Empire and now a UNESCO World Heritage Site that is the jump-off point for treks to Macchu Pichhu.
Although it can get busy with over two million visitors every year, it's a fantastic city with an amazing history dovetailed neatly alongside a modern population that maintains a strong cultural identity.
We passed the time wandering the city streets gazing in awe at the architecture and the bustling squares as we gave our bodies time to acclimatise to its 3,400 metres.
As we strolled along we scouted out the various options in taking on the Inca Trail.
There are literally hundreds of tours on offer and touts will apprehend you in the street to offer you amazing experiences with all sorts of promises.
But you have to choose carefully. Most of the tour organisers are licensed but there are good and bad operators in the city and it took a bit of research and negotiation before we settled on one particular guide.
One of the tough porters
There is also an issue with permits as the government, concerned with damage and erosion on the trail, restricts traffic to 500 people a day and that includes the guides and porters who carry all the camping gear. It is possible to book a trek in advance through a reputable travel company before flying to Peru but buying one directly with a local tour operator based in Cusco offers much better value for money. But either way, book well in advance during the most popular months, from May to September, as places sell out fast.
This is when conditions are fairly dry and the weather is generally sunny, while June, July and August can be very cold and forget about February, as the trail is closed to allow for cleaning and restoration.
We eventually settled on the four day 'Classic Inca Trail' although a shorter two day trek is also possible as are longer seven day options.
In the desert town of Huacachina (see below)
It was an early start on our first day as we were collected from our hotels and bussed out to kilometre 82 that marks the start of the trail. There, we hung around and talked with the other members of our group who would be taking on the trail with us while our gear, including sleeping bags and tents, went ahead of us with the porters.
These sturdy locals would set up camp each night before we arrived and take it down after we left the following morning.
With excitement mounting we headed off over our first water obstacle, the Vilcanota River, where we followed the trail as it climbed steeply up though a small village.
Through the clouds we could just make out the ruins of the Inca hillfort of Huillca Raccay squatting high on the mountain above. The path then follows the left bank of the river up to the village of Wayllabamba where we spent our first night.
It was an extraordinary experience, sitting under the stars while gazing out into the inky black silence. Sleep comes quickly after a day's trek on the Inca Trial and you need it as you are usually up with the dawn and hitting the road soon after.
After a hot brew of thick Peruvian coffee and a breakfast of rice and eggs we were on our way to our first big challenge. Climbing up from Wayllabamba for about three hours the steepening trail winds through woods and increasingly stunning scenery to a meadow known as Llulluchapampa. Here you are at 3,680m but is still another couple of hours' climb to the first and highest pass of the trail (Abra de Huarmihuausca or 'Dead Woman's Pass)' at 4,200m. Here, the blazing sun we were sweltering under since we had set off was replaced with freezing bracing winds and it was a tough night's sleep at the campsite at Pacamayo.
This is where the altitude had got to me but as I walked along chewing my coco leaves I gradually recovered and fell into the rhythm of what was really starting to feel like a Lord of the Rings adventure.
In places the trail took us along original Inca paving stones laid down centuries ago. We passed many other remains of this once great civilization where we would rest to take in the views and marvel at our surroundings. Then we'd take off again and follow the path as it meandered through magnificent cloud forests full of orchids, hanging mosses, tree ferns and flowers.
Machu Picchu…the famed 'Lost City of the Incas'
By the end of the third day we had visited Phuyupatamarca, one of the most impressive Inca ruins so far with its six 'Inca Baths' before we finally reached Aguas Calientes, the closest access point to Machu Picchu.
Here, we stopped for a well-deserved rest in the hot waters that give the town its name and enjoyed a beer and a proper meal in a restaurant. But it was another early night as we rose before dawn to make the final haul up to Machu Picchu in time for sunrise. It was chilly in the dark as we set off to the light of our guide's lamp ahead of us.
After a solid two hour trek we arrived at the very last obstacle, a near vertical flight of 50 steps that lead up to the entrance of the site's epic Sun Gate. With aching muscles straining we clamboured up the last few steps to get our first view of the famous ruins.
It was a jaw-dropping spectacle, and a shudder of recognition mixed with relief flooded through us as we took in the sight made famous from a thousand postcards.
It was a special moment to be there in the dawn light, watching as the sun rose and there was a quiet moment of reflection before the coach loads of tourists arrived.
Walking among the ruins however it is not as impressive as viewing them from above and to do that took one more effort. We climbed up the neighbouring mountain of Huaklupmahciuove which overlooks the site to take in the view of the ancient city laid out below us.
As we watched the sun burn off the last of the mists hanging low over the surrounding mountains we kicked back and congratulated ourselves on what felt like an amazing accomplishment .
With one of the locals on Lake Titicaca (see below)
Five of the best (and worst) places in Peru
Don't bother wasting time in the capital. Despite my love of exploring cities I have to say it's not up to much. Take a night or two to get over the cross Atlantic long haul jet lag then get out of there.
It's a dull, uninspiring and in some places very dirty and dodgy city with weather not unlike our own on a wet November day.
Overcast when we arrived in the second week of September, the low-hanging cloud was still smothering the entire city when we left several days later. This is South America after all! Where's the sunshine?
2. Mancora
Ah, to find the sun we had to jump on a small plane and fly to Mancora, where we finally found some beachside bliss only a few hours' north. Our transport from the airport to the town itself was eventual enough though as we came across a gang of lads in balaclavas blocking the road.
With relief we soon realised this was a local protest for fishing rights and had nothing to do with holding up gringos and we were soon on our way, although we hugged our backpacks that little bit tighter.
Located on the Pacific coast Mancora is laid-back town with not much action, apart from catching the odd wave while out surfing, to distract from lazing around in a hammock.
We did rustle ourselves out of our stupor one morning to take a trek up into the dusty hills to search for an elusive holy well but instead we found ourselves lost and parched under the beating sun. Giving up, we returned that evening having failed to find the holy well so we settled on a cold beer instead.
The dusty town of Trujillo doesn't have much to it, but is worth a stop off to see the impressive Mayan ruins just outside the city . UNESCO designated Chan Chan, the largest adobe city in the ancient world, a World Heritage Site in 1986, while the temples of the Sun and Moon are among the largest adobe pyramids in Peru.
4. The Nazca Lines
A detour to the famous Nazca lines located near the town of the same name is well worth a detour if you're travelling from Lima to Cuzco.
Here we were able to take a ride in small propeller plane up over the desert to get a look at the lines from the air. The pilot weaved the small Cessna hard over to the right and left so we could make out the figures of birds, a monkey and even what some people believe is an alien from just a few hundred feet up.
When we landed we were taken out into the desert to see the mummified remains of humans that have survived hundreds of years in the dry desert air. Creepy but fascinating.
5.Lake Titicaca
Located high in the Andes, Lake Titicaca glimmers in a stunning setting and landing on the silent shore of the Isla Del Sol on the Bolivian side of the lake was like stepping back in time. Here, the brightly dressed locals carry on life as they have done for centuries ,quietly going about their day despite the presence of camera toting gringos wandering around town.
6. Huacachina
An amazing oasis that feels like it's in the middle of nowhere, although in reality it is only 4km from civilisation, this watering hole in the desert boasts a smattering of backpacker hostels, restaurants and even a library. The centre of town of course is dominated by the lake that the locals seemed happy to splash around in although we were slightly wary of its contents. Where does the town's sewerage go?
But it was great fun to hop on a Mad Max style dune buddy and go tearing off around the desert at dusk. You can also rent snow boards and go skidding down the dunes at breakneck speed. If you get it right that is!

FOX Business: Capitalism Lives Here
U.S. equities took a blow Friday as worries flared up that volatility in emerging markets will ricochet into larger marketplaces.
Continue Reading Below
Today's Markets
As of 3:20 p.m. ET, the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 266 points, or 1.6%, to 15932, the S&P 500 plummeted 32.7 points, or 1.8%, to 1796 and the Nasdaq Composite slumped 82.4 points, or 2%, to 4136.
The foreign exchange market was in focus Friday after Argentina moved to devalue its currency. The Argentine peso has tumbled 12.7% in the biggest devaluation in more than a decade, according to Nomura, as the government struggles to control its foreign reserves and attempts to boost its fragile economy. Other emerging-market currencies like the Turkish lira also took a beating.
Michael Block, chief strategist at Rhino Trading Partners, said the reason moves in these currencies are hitting U.S. markets is because of correlation. He said the same investors that trade U.S. stocks and Treasuries also engage in currency trading. As those people swiftly adjust positions abroad, they also need to make changes to their portfolio of U.S. holdings.
"This is the only reason why Argentina matters," he said, "that said, this will blow over soon."
Peter Boockvar, chief market analyst at The Lindsey Group, added that as the Federal Reserve eases its vast asset-purchase program -- called QE3 -- issues that had been brewing will bubble to the surface.
"This is contagion from the Fed and the possibility of no more QE. Who cares about Argentina, they've been a mess for many years," he said. "QE covers up all the warts and blemishes and once it starts going away, they all come to the surface."
The Dow was on track to post its worst week since June, while the S&P 500 was poised for its worst week since December. Traders have been moving from assets that are seen as risky, to safe havens like U.S Treasury bonds.
On the corporate front, Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) posted quarterly profits that easily beat expectations after the closing bell on Thursday. Procter & Gamble (NYSE:PG) posted a slight quarterly beat on the bottom line, and top-line results that matched expectations.
Elsewhere, in commodities, U.S. crude oil futures fell 25 cents, or 0.26%, to $97.07 a barrel. Wholesale New York Harbor gasoline fell 0.48% to $2.649 a gallon. Gold rose $7, or 0.55%, to $1,270 a troy ounce.

Alaskan Brewing Co.'s most dedicated fans are sprinting for its gift shop, and one of its brewers is devastated, according to Andy Kline, the brewery's communications manager.
What is causing this emotionally charged scene? The end of one of Alaskan's most popular beers.
The Juneau-based brewery announced on Wednesday that it will discontinue the production of Alaskan Pale, which Kline said has "gained a legendary status in Alaska." The decision was forced by the diminishing availability of the U.S. Tettnanger hops required to produce the golden ale (and former year-round offering).
"With most hop varieties, we are able to order based on the characteristics we are looking for in the taste and aroma," David Wilson, quality assurance manager at Alaskan Brewing Co., said in a release. "But because so few farmers are growing this hop, we have had a hard time coming up with the consistency we need to brew Alaskan Pale year-round."
The brewery's distributors reported that there remains about one month's supply left of the golden ale. The brewery hasn't yet announced a direct replacement for the beer.
"We are always experimenting with different recipes, and we would love to find a similar flavor profile to the Alaskan Pale as many of us will miss this beer tremendously," Marcy Larson, the brewery's co-founder, said in the release. "But we wanted to be honest in that without those specific hops, it will not be the same beer."
Pale is a blonde, lighter-bodied beer with a hoppy finish that's not bitter, according to the brewery's website. In 1987, Alaskan Pale was simply called "Pale" to contrast Alaskan Amber, then the only other year-round Alaskan brew.
"It's a really delicate, subtle beer," Kline said. "It's not one of these real hop-forward beers."
Today, along with its seasonal winter and summer ales and limited edition beers in the Alaskan Pilot Series, the brewery offers five other year-round beers: Amber, White, IPA, Stout and Freeride APA, the brewery's latest year-round release.
Hop shortages have long hampered craft breweries across the country, especially during the famed hop shortage of 2008. According to an article in The Boston Globe, a fire at a warehouse in Washington's Yakima Valley in 2006 and hail storms in Germany and Slovenia damaged harvests and heavily contributed to the shortage. These setbacks, among others, resulted in a significant spike in the cost of hops and the closing of some smaller breweries.
To counter these shortages, Boston Beer Company (BBC) launched a hop sharing program that will share up to 10,000 pounds each of Simcoe, Citra and Ahtanum hops. In February, Backlash Brewing Co. announced the release of Salute, a West Coast style Double IPA that used BBC hops from the sharing program.
"It's one thing to say you support small business," said Backlash founder Helder Pimentel. "But to actually do it through things like the hops sharing program is really special."
The rise in contract brewing has simultaneously increased the contracting of hop varieties, as evidenced by Backlash's case. Steve Dresler, Sierra Nevada's head brewmaster, told Brewbound at the Great American Beer Festival in October 2012 that some breweries, especially smaller ones, are typically hesitant to invest in hop sharing contracts before their beer and brand is established in the marketplace. However, he suggests that brewers should think ahead and commit to a hop sharing deal.
"It is critically important to take care of your position and contract out for multiple years," Dresler said.

I'm very excited to announce that Princess Peepers was nominated for the Cybils 2008 Award: Fiction Picture book category. This is a list of the best picture books released in 2008 that not only encompasses literary merit but lots of parent and kid appeal. The Cybils Awards were formed after some frustration with traditional awards in the children's publishing realm that seemed to forget kid-appeal as a redeeming quality. That left out many humorous books, such as the kind I write! :-) So, I'm very thankful to be on the list with lots of other wonderful picture books.
The next step is a board of children's literature aficionados from the blogging world will read all of the nominations and will whittle them down to about 5 to 7 worthy offerings. Then they will choose the winner!
I'm also pleased to report that Princess Peepers was chosen as a Picture Book of the Day by Anastasia Suen. She gives teachers a few educational tips when reading Princess Peepers in the classroom. Check it out! Princess Peepers: Picture Book of the Day
Happy Halloween, everyone!

A STUDENT suffered horrific injuries after being subjected to a terrifying rape by a violent shop worker who offered to help her get home from a Leeds nightclub.
Mohammed Ditta, 27, was given a 16-year sentence today over the sex attack on the medical student after he lured her into the shop in the early hours of the morning and threatened to kill her.
A court heard the 20-year-old victim had been visiting Leeds with friends and had been ejected from a nightclub when Ditta preyed upon her.
She had to undergo surgery following the sex attack after suffering life-threatening internal injuries.
Ditta offered to let the woman into shop where he worked in the Woodhouse area of the city to charge up her mobile phone in the early hours of February 2 this year.
She was in fancy dress at the time and had been separated from her friends.
The court heard the young woman was disoriented and vulnerable and was a long way from the hotel where she was staying.
Once inside, Ditta lowered the metal shutters and she let out a "blood curdling" scream as she realised she would be trapped inside with her attacker.
People living nearby heard her cries for help but could not find where it was coming from.
Ditta threatened to kill the woman unless she went along with his sexual demands.
Leeds Crown Court heard Ditta was out of prison on licence at the time of the attack after being given a six-year sentence for a bottle attack on a man.
The woman was subjected to a 20-minute ordeal before Ditta raised the shutter and allowed her to leave.
She ran to a nearby house to raise the alarm.
A woman who helped her described her a being terrified and "beyond crying."
Surgeons who later examined her described her injuries as the worst they had ever seen.
Ditta then stayed behind at the shop, which is owned by one of his relatives, and disposed of evidence, including the victim's handbag and driving licence.
He was arrested but denied the attack, claiming that sex had been consensual.
He was found guilty of rape after a trial earlier this month.
Ditta, of Gipton Wood Avenue, Roundhay, was made the subject of an extended sentence after Recorder Timothy Roberts told him he posed a serious risk of committing further violent or sexual offences against members of the public.
He must serve a minimum of eight years in prison before he is eligible to apply for release from custody and will remain on licence for a further eight years.
Recorder Roberts said: "You had struck terror into the heart of that young woman. You knew that because you had heard that scream at close quarters and still you did not desist.
"You told her that you would kill her if she did not do what you asked and she believed you.
"That was an instinctively wise decision on her part because what she did not know then was that you had been in prison for six years for the crime of wounding with intent."
The recorder described the victim as an intelligent, articulate and courageous young lady.
He added: "This particular offence of rape caused serious internal injury and lasting psychological harm to a sensitive and virtuous young lady."
After the case, Detective Constable Andy Queen said: "Ditta is a sexual predator who saw a vulnerable young woman as an opportunity to be exploited for his own gratification.
"He put the victim through a horrendously traumatic ordeal. He has denied responsibility all along and has shown absolutely no remorse for his actions. He clearly presents a significant danger to women. We hope the victim and her family can take some degree of comfort from knowing he has now been brought to justice."

Pokemon Go is the biggest thing to have happened this year. The maddening popularity of the game has transcended generations as both millennials and sextegenerians, and everyone in between. So it's only natural for others to capitalise on the popularity of the phenomenon. Jugnoo, an auto-rickshaw aggregator based out of Chandigarh has integrated the 'Pokemon Go' API in their app which allows users to view Pokestops and Gyms. While the game is yet to be launched in India, there have been no geo-restrictions placed on the app so anyone with the .apk can install the game and start playing right away.
All PokeStops and Gyms in an easily accessible manner
The feature can be enabled via their profile page within the app and if users have Pokemon Go installed on the phone then the feature will be enabled as soon as the Jugnoo app is updated to the latest version. Jugnoo claims this integration to be the safest and the least time consuming way to play the immensely popular Pokemon Go game since users can focus on playing the game while the driving part is handled by the auto-rickshaw driver.
Pokevision is now non-functional
Numerous apps and websites like 'PokeVision' and 'Smart Poke 2' have implemented the Pokemon Go API in order to "enhance player experience" but many of them ended up being rendered broken after a recent update to the game. 'Smart Poke 2' has even been taken off of the Google Play Store. And Niantic has been actively sending cease and desist notices to many such apps, websites and services. The reason being that utilising the API for Pokemon Go is illegal for means other than those provided by Niantic. And the same can be found deep within their Terms of Service which states:
"attempt to access or search the Services or Content, or download Content from the Services through the use of any technology or means other than those provided by Niantic or other generally available third-party web browsers (including, without limitation, automation software, bots, spiders, crawlers, data-mining tools, or hacks, tools, agents, engines, or devices of any kind);"
We're unsure about the legality of the usage of Niantic's API in Jugnoo's app and we've reached out to them for clarification.
UPDATE: The folks behind Jugnoo had this to say, "Jugnoo has taken all the information from public domain and nothing has been taken from Niantic Lab's data."

Sean Walker was a new CTU analyst during the events of The Game. He was trained by Michelle Dessler.
The Game Edit
Sean was CTU's primary analyst despite being inexperienced and having only worked with simulations. He readily greeted Kim Bauer, who was starting as an intern. CTU was later taken hostage by the terrorist group led by Peter Madsen, and Sean was shot and killed as a demonstration of Madsen's power. As a result of Walker's death, Adam Kaufman was assigned to CTU Los Angeles later that evening to fill his position.

Two batches were my ever popular traditional recipe
And the other....?
Double Chocolate Peanut Butter Anzacs! What doesn't a bit of chocolate and PB make better? Best idea ever right? Well to be fair, a few people still preferred the traditional version. But that's probably cos they're damn good too.
Okay, this isn't exactly one of my most healthy recipes, but you can definitely adapt it using my healthy version in the above link, using dates and coconut oil.
Double Chocolate Peanut Butter Anzacs
1 Cup rolled Oats
1 Cup Coconut
1/3 Cup Cocoa
3/4 Cup flour
1/2 C brown sugar
125g Peanut butter
2 TBS syrup of your choice
30g vegan butter
2 TBS water (or more as need*)
1 tsp Bi-carb
1/3 C choc chips
Mix together first lot of ingredients in a large bowl.
Melt second lot of ingredients (PB to water) in a saucepan. Take off heat once melted and stir in bicarb.
Add wet to the dry mix, stir well.
Stir in choc chips.
Bake in 160c oven for around 10 mins or until just lightly browned. Cool on rack, store in airtight container.
*your dough wetness will vary on the type of peanut butter that you use as some are more oily than others. Basically you want your dough to just come together.
I love messing around with recipes, seeing how I can make them my own. I don't think I've made a recipe to the letter for a long time.
How about everyone else? Do you prefer to stick to the recipe to ensure success or like to mix it up a bit and risk failure?

The first of the season I got my grubby hands on is:
Holidays (2016)
I started watching it before reading the complete synopsis, seduced by the movie poster, and discovered it's a series of short films according to each holiday-- including mother's day, father's day and New Years-- an anthology.
Oddly enough Thanksgiving was not included in the illustrious bunch of celebratory days... I think they missed a good opportunity there.
I also think they shot for the wrong audience when writing Halloween; it was terrible, and not the good kind of terrible...
I don't know what they were heading at exactly, but it came off cheap and utterly predictable. Bad writing, bad acting, bad setting-- just all around disappointing. Very sad to say it was my least favorite segment.
It has a very retro slasher feel throughout; I could see this becoming a cult classic, despite and because of its obvious short comings.
I would give it 4 and a half out of 10 spooky bats. The best parts are in my opinion the ones I least expected to be good. I wouldn't rush to see it, but should it come up on your queue I'd say give it a watch-- it's still worth its weight in afternoon entertainment.
What is on your queue this spooky season?

Hi all,
I think a cute little boy and I are about to go curl up and take a nap, but I wanted to give a quick update from today's appointments first... He had endocrinology first thing this morning... Or our appointment was first thing, even if we didn't see anyone until we waited an hour and a half, and babies are sooo good at waiting... when we finally saw someone, however, it went well, and they're happy with his progress and have no concerns right now. They needed some bloodwork drawn, but since we were already 30 minutes late for our next appointment down one floor, we put off the bloodwork and went and waited there to see pulmonology... Eventually got another good report there, too, and they DCed Dax's lasix and potassium, whoo hoo!!! He's now only on viagra and a twice daily breathing treatment, and that's all!!! How exciting!
We went back up for our bloodwork after that, and that was very frustrating for us. Seems like more often than not we end up with people who are training to do bloodwork, and I'm okay with that, but the new folks tend to be especially nervous with babies... And even though we emphasize NOT to hold Dax down or restrain him at all until right before the stick because he'll throw a fit long before the needle gets anywhere near his arm, the less-experienced folks tend to not listen to us and it never turns out well. Today was our worst experience so far, and I think we were all a little upset by the time we got out of there. Many sticks later. I think we'll all need some time to recuperate from that one...
At any rate, nap time :) I'm still pregnant, and plan on staying that way a few more days... 37 weeks and 1 day today!!! Hello, full term baby!!!!!

The Big Girls' Guide to Life
The time for revolution is at hand, when plus-sized gals will raise their fists in protest against super-skinny celebrities and diet doctors, and the streets will be paved with chocolate. At least, that's the author's vision, and she bounces through this book staying true to her anthem "We're here, we're large, get used to it."
After acknowledging the importance of proper nutrition and the role of exercise in health maintenance, Lynn moves on to more important topics, like distinguishing "chocolate" from "dessert." This is important, since there are only four food groups, and these two items make up half of Lynn's food list (the other two are garlic and red wine).
The jaunty, delightful tone never gets wearing, and the author's ability to balance humor and insight is what makes the guide as sweet as a Hershey's bar. In the section on eating out, she writes: "Salad is most definitely NOT an entrée. It's SALAD. It is physically impossible to eat only SALAD and not die from starvation the very same day, with one exception: a taco salad at a Mexican restaurant." Interspersed with her tips on living large and loving it, Lynn includes anecdotes from her life to illustrate her points. These stories are quite entertaining, and give the book slightly more depth, and turn the author from a charming stranger into a warmly received friend.
In the section on exercise, for example, she tells a very amusing story about agreeing to walk half a marathon and actually completing it. Although her pride in the accomplishment shines through, the tale is suffused with enough self-effacement to make it truly funny. A week or so after the marathon, her toenails turn brown and fall off, and her description of it is actually comical. Now, that's talent. Other sections cover the unkindness of strangers, primping, medical issues, money, careers, and parties. That's a hefty menu for such a small book, but Lynn sails from one subject to the next with ease, armed with gung-ho advice on loving one's body and accepting non-skinny-girl habits.
This underpinning of positive affirmation keeps the book humming, just as the writing keeps the reader laughing. Under the chuckles, Lynn shows how difficult it can be for Big Girls to live in a body-obsessed culture, and she serves up a big helping of encouragement, love, and humor. For every plus-sized woman, or for anyone who likes a lively bit of writing, this book will fit nicely on the nightstand, right next to the box of chocolate truffles.

Robert Capa, who was the greatest photojournalist in the 20th century. In his life he covered five different wars: the Spanish Civil War, the Second Sino Japanese War, the Second World War across Europe, the 1948 Arab-Israeli War and the First Indochina War.
To Capa, technical considerations were secondary to catching a dramatic moment.
Robert Capa's pictures would not make people feel aware of the importance of photo taking techniques but the courageous which can only be exchanged by a life. Because of this enormous courageous, his pictures are regarded as classics. No one criticizes whether his pictures are dedicated, whether the meaning could be delivered correctly, whether crops are compact, whether shutter opportunities are neither more nor less, and the tones of pictures are rich. Loyalist Militiaman at the Moment of Death, with bad quality, deserves to one of his most famous pictures. And in the D-Day landings, even the objects are really blurred. Focal lengths, shutter speeds, apertures are meaningless nouns. He took pictures by his life, but not by cameras.
Robert Capa is the most famous war correspondent in people's memory, and his career was gambling. However, on May 25, 1954, Capa stepped on a landmine and died with his camera in his hand.
People will never forget him. His photos have become a symbol of humanity and war. He hated war during his whole life and looked for peace. He tried to use his photos to record the war and awake people's conscious to stop killing each other.
The most sentence of Robert Capa is that "If your pictures are not good enough, you are not close enough". Through his photos, people can hear the sounds of bullets and bombs. Every photos prove that the war is the most foolish and brutal thing made by human beings.

attorney for a Sonoma County man charged in connection with a June fight between rival motorcycle gang members is seeking access to the personnel records of Lake County's sheriff and other agency staffers, alleging political motivations in the case's handling. Oakland attorney Michael Clough filed the Pitchess motion for the personnel records of Sheriff Frank Rivero and Sgt. John Gregore, lead investigator in the case, on Sept. 12. Clough represents 33-year-old Nicolas Carrillo of Santa Rosa, arrested in August for a June 4 fight at Konocti Vista Casino outside of Lakeport. The Sept. 12 filing leaves open the possibility of other sheriff's staffers being added to the list of individuals whose records Clough wants to access. "It's possible that we will file additional Pitchess motions as we get additional discovery," said Clough. "We anticipate that there's going to be a substantial amount of discovery and motions in the case." Clough's Pitchess motion is scheduled to be heard on Oct. 17 in Lake County Superior Court. County Counsel Anita Grant, whose office represents the sheriff's office in the matter, said the county will fight the attempt to delve into the men's records. Carrillo – along with fellow Sonoma County residents Timothy Bianchi, Joshua Johnson and David Dabbs – is alleged to be Hells Angels members who participated in the beating of a member of the rival Vagos motorcycle gang, according to the original sheriff's report in the case. In the wake of his arrest for the Lake County case, Josh Johnson was just recently arrested by the FBI, according to Peter Lee of the FBI's San Francisco office. However, Lee could not offer Lake County News further information about the arrest. The District Attorney's Office previously reported that charges against Carrillo include felony participation in a criminal street gang, misdemeanor fighting in public, misdemeanor battery and several special allegations relating to the infliction of great bodily injury and the participation in a criminal street gang. Clough wants information about any complaints filed against Rivero alleging violations of civil and constitutional rights, selective enforcement or prosecution and bias against the Hells Angels, as well as any evidence of "providing or authorizing subordinate officers to release false and/or misleading information about pending investigations to the media" as well as "use of office to conduct politically motivated investigations." He's seeking similar information for Gregore, as well as evidence of mishandling or failing to disclose evidence, submitting unreasonable requests for excessive bail, preparation of false or incomplete reports, and false or perjured testimony. Other information of interest to Clough is anything that would support allegations that the Lake County Sheriff's Office, the Sonoma County Sheriff's Office and the FBI selectively targeted members of the Sonoma County Hells Angels chapter for investigation and prosecution, and if there was a conspiracy to violate the chapter members' civil rights. The goal is to find information favorable to Carrillo's defense that would impeach the testimony of prosecution witnesses at trial, according to the document. Pitchess motions are based on a 1974 California Supreme Court case, Pitchess v. Superior Court, and have since been included in the California Evidence Code. A Pitchess motion is based on the theory that a defendant in a criminal case should have any information that could help their defense, including information about potential misconduct in an arresting officer's personnel files. The right of a defendant to have that information is balanced against a peace officer's rights to maintain the privacy of his or her personnel file. California law has firm protections to guard peace officers in such cases. Grant, whose office has received the motion, said they will respond as the county always does in such cases. The county always and "without exception" responds to Pitchess motions, Grant said, due to concerns that are described in case law as "fishing expeditions." The legal definition of a "fishing expedition" describes open-ended attempts to get information, and overly broad, unfocused questioning that is not within the case's scope. The county has fought previous attempts to open peace officer records, including one lodged in 2009 during the trial of Bismarck Dinius, who was acquitted in a fatal boating crash. Dinius was steering a sailboat hit in 2006 by a motorboat driven by an off-duty sheriff's deputy, Russell Perdock. Dinius' attorney sought Perdock's records through a Pitchess motion, which both county counsel and Perdock's attorney successfully fought. Carrillo's case is continuing to move forward, with a preliminary hearing still to take place. Bail in Carrillo's case was set at $500,000, which Clough had argued in court filings was excessive. He asked to have it reduced to $75,000. Clough said in his motion that Carrillo has never been charged with a violent criminal offense before this case, and his only conviction on record is for driving on a suspended license. Clough argued that it appeared that Carrillo's Hells Angels membership led to the high bail, and if that's the case it violates Carrillo's constitutional right to freedom of expression and equal protection. The filings in the case also reference a May 14 event during which the Vagos visited Lakeport. That same day, county law enforcement received information from an FBI agent claiming that a group of Hells Angels members were en route to the county to confront the Vagos. Rivero sent a group of deputies to the Middletown area in case the Hells Angels appeared. It's alleged that he was planning to turn the Hells Angels back if they arrived, which Rivero has denied, stating instead in an investigative report that he planned to put in place a roadblock in order to engage in contact with the bikers. Possible civil rights violations in the case remain under investigation by the Lake County District Attorney's Office. Rivero has continued to voice concern over the rival gangs and their activities, sending an e-mail to local media and county leaders over the weekend referencing a news story about a fight and shootout between the two groups that claimed the life of a California Hells Angels leaders in a casino in Las Vegas, Nev., on Sept. 23. A subsequent e-mail from Rivero informed county leaders that there is a statewide law enforcement alert from the US Marshals Service on possible retaliatory actions because of the gang shooting.

I called myself in today because I'm exhausted. It's a Trizia Day today and I spent all afternoon in bed with two movies and no shower! Ha ha! I went to Damar (after taking my first shower of the day, of course!) and visited Ama. SHE GAVE ME THESE:
The charms are sweet and so is Ama! The first one is an M&S gold charm, the golden heart charm is my favorite, and who would ever forget Joy Lim's Charms and Crystals, it has a gold accent, so why not?! The amethyst charm, well, I bought it with my money, kaya no more money! I'm super happy, I need a golden amethyst ring. Okay, Ish, you must stop now.
This is what happened yesterday. Just the four of us at Home Depot.
Cheerios, Papitos!

"The Friends of the Gawler Ranges National Park"
Welcome you to Pondanna Outstation
The property, being very remote, does not come with all mod cons however it does have a gas stove and fridge, 12v lighting and running water (which you obtain by hand pumping it from the storage tank to the "header tank" and which you heat by lighting a small fire under the hot water service.
Guests need to supply everything they require including all their own bedding and linen.
Due to its remoteness the property is not serviced and when unoccupied can get quite dusty - guests may need to give it a sweep and tidy on arrival and are expected to leave the property clean and tidy on departure.

* When asked about the possibility of extraterrestials on the campaign trail in 2008, Sarah Palin responded that she was very "surprised". She said that she wasn't aware that we had, "any terrestials, let alone extras".

Unexpected events, possible dangers, mismatches: the feeling of surprise is triggered by many different factors. How do its mechanisms work and why is surprise so important? At ISTC the Goal-Oriented Agents Laboratory (GOAL) is working to build a cognitive model of surprise.
We all know how being surprised feels like, but why do we feel surprise? At ISTC the Goal-Oriented Agents Laboratory (GOAL) studies the cognitive structure of surprise to answer this question.
First of all, there are two main different kinds of surprise, each one associated with a particular phase of the cognitive processing. There is a "first-hand" surprise, due to the perceptual mismatch between what the agent sees and its previous expectations. This kind of surprise is ruled by the law "the more I was sure, the more I am surprised". For example, if I believe my best friend is living in Berlin, and suddenly he/she knocks on my door, I am surprised because I didn't expect him/her to come. From a cognitive point of view, this is a discrepancy between an incoming input (my friend arrival) and a previous knowledge (my friend staying in Berlin).
The second kind of surprise is deeper and more complex. It has something to do with astonishment: it is generated when an event is in contrast with the previous long-term knowledge and expectation. If, for example, a policeman knocks on my door and enters my house to arrest me when I have done nothing, I am surprised not just because I did not expect this event. The cognitive reason of my surprise is that the event destroys some strong and radicated beliefs I had (let's say, that honest people do not get arrested, that law is fair, and so on.)
Despite the differences, both kinds of surprise – the mismatch-based and the astonishment – are based on beliefs, which are denied by something new. So we feel surprise because of what we can call a "cognitive failure".
