My exercise routine got disrupted when I transferred to Iloilo last year. Now, I am trying to get back to jogging and yoga but putting those rubber shoes seems like an herculean task. Then I saw this video of Pia Wurtzbach in my timeline reminding me that I should get my arse off and start moving.

This squat routine engages the core! Pia, for sure, is preparing for a swimsuit battle royale by making sure that those abs of hers are ready for Miss Universe 2015!
It is all HARD WORK ladies!

Driving Directions
The easiest way to get around Costa Rica by car is to have your map (ask for it at the car rental office) and just follow the road signs to the next town in your path.
From Liberia and the Guanacaste Province: Follow the road down to Nicoya, then Jicaral, then Playa Naranjo then Paquera. In Paquera you will turn right (you will see a sign) and that road will take you from Paquera to Cobano (about 35 Km). Once in Cobano you turn left and Montezuma is 7Km away. On Google Maps/GPS it's route 21 to 160 to 624. Total driving time: Approximately 4 – 4 1/2 hours.
From Monteverde / Arenal / Manuel Antonio /Jaco: Follow your map to the town of Puntarenas and drive to the ferry which is located on the point of Puntarenas. Take the 1 hour and 15 minute ferry to Paquera (not Playa Naranjo) and once you get off follow the main road until you get to an intersection in Cobano (35Km). In Cobano take a left at the bank (Banco Nacional) and drive all the way down to Montezuma (7Km). Arrive at Sano Banano Restaurant where the Front Desk will call the driver who will take you to Ylang Ylang. Approximate time from Paquera is 1 hour.
From San Jose – Toll Road: Leaving the airport in Alajuela, take the Inter-american Highway to Puntarenas after 11 km when you get to the refinery RECOPE take the first exit on the right and then immediately left passing over the bridge. After approximately 5 km in the town of La Garita when you get to the soccer field turn left, drive about 3 km to Route 27 toward Caldera, when you get to Puntarenas just after the double Tree Resort exit right onto the ferry terminal to Paquera. We recommend to ask your rental car to show you on a map…
Traveling by Bus: Take a taxi to the Puntarenas bus station in San Jose. Once you get to Puntarenas take a taxi to the Paquera ferry. The ferry takes one hour and 15 minutes and on the other side there will be a bus to Montezuma which departs according to the ferry schedule. Please note the Paquera bus stops running at 6:30pm regardless if there are later ferries.

Important Check-in/Check-out Info
Kindly note that Ylang Ylang Beach Resort is a 10-15 MINUTE WALK down the beach from Montezuma center. We provide transportation to the Resort on your arrival date, from 8:30am until 8:00pm*. During your stay you can walk back and forth from the village on your own as we only provide transportation on your check-in and check-out days in order to reduce impact on the beach. The Front Desk can provide a flashlight for you to walk at night. It is a very enjoyable and safe walk.
*AFTER 8:00pm ARRIVAL:
Our regular transportation service to the resort ends at 8:00pm. We NEED to know if you will arrive in Montezuma later than 8:00pm so that we can coordinate the after-hours luggage transportation.
2:00pm, but you are welcome to come any time after 8:30am* and enjoy the pool, hammocks, restaurant, etc. You would leave your luggage at our Front Desk and once the room is ready we would let you know.
*IMPORTANT NOTE for CHECK-IN:
If you have scheduled your transport with us directly then we will always try and make sure our beach shuttle driver is waiting for you a El Sano Banano when you arrive (unless the driver is doing another check in right before or is on check-outs), but if you have scheduled transport with another company and we do not know the exact time you will arrive then there is a possibility that you will have to wait for our beach shuttle driver to pick you up. This wait time can be anywhere from 15 minutes to 1 hour. So for this reason we ask that you PLEASE let us know as much as possible about your arrival so that we will know at what time you will arrive (just send us an email) so that this way we can better coordinate your check-in.
Please note that if you are arriving before 11:30am we can not guarantee that you will not have to wait for less than an hour as our driver and beach shuttle are designated for check-out's between 6:30am-11:00am. We will be happy to have our driver pick you up as soon as he can, but it may take about an hour if he is in the middle of a check-out trip.
We have 3 shuttle times into Montezuma from Ylang Ylang, one at 6:40am another at 8:00am and the last one at 11:00am. If one of these times will not be used by other guests on your check-out day, we can gladly arrange a different time for your shuttle, but we will only be able to know this the afternoon or evening before your departure. Otherwise, you can either take one of these shuttle times and spend time in town or you can send your luggage and then just walk in later on (we would keep your luggage at El Sano Banano). If your departure from Montezuma is before 6:40am then we would need to send your luggage to El Sano Banano the night before and you would need to walk-in that morning and pick it up there. We can sometimes make exceptions for an earlier trip for this you need to send us an email and see if it will be possible.

NPG Statement on Population
by Don Mann, President, NPG, Inc.
NPG Statement on Population
We believe that the optimum rate of population growth is negative.
We believe that the optimum rate of population growth for the United States (and for the world) is negative, until such time as the scale of economic activity – and its environmental effects – is reduced to a level that would be sustainable indefinitely. We are convinced that if present rates of population and economic growth were allowed to continue, the end result – within the lifetimes of many of us – would inevitably be near-universal poverty in a hopelessly polluted nation and world.
We agree with Professor Herman Daly, who has pointed out that the human economy is a subset of the biosphere, and that the current scale of economic activity relative to the biosphere is already far too large to be sustainable indefinitely.
Stabilization is Not Enough
We believe that calls for merely slowing down rapid population growth, or for stabilizing population at present or even higher levels, are totally inadequate.
Such proposals, while presented as a solution, fail to address the central issue: how to create an economy that would be sustainable indefinitely. At present or at even higher levels of population, neither the application of science and technology nor simplifying lifestyles – nor any combination of the two – can offer any hope of reducing our impact on the environment to a sustainable level.
We Need a Smaller Population
We recognize that our impact on the environment, in terms of pollution and resource depletion, is the product of our numbers times our per capita consumption of energy and materials. Thus, there are only three ways by which that impact can be reduced:
- • By reducing the size of our population by a negative rate of population growth.
- • By reducing overconsumption by simplifying lifestyles.
- • By reducing resource depletion and pollution per unit of consumption through more efficient use of energy and materials.
Population size is by far the most critical of those three variables. Nevertheless, our present scale of economic activity is so large relative to the biosphere that all three measures are needed in order to reduce it to a sustainable level.[…]

After 32 hours of research evaluating 71 products, we picked Kenmore Elite 41072 Washing Machine as our top choice.
Everyone loves clean clothes – and even the best washing machines don't last forever. While there are some washing machines that can push the 14-year limit (based on 1 load of laundry per day, every day of the week), most manufacturers agree that 10 years is likely to be about it for even the best washer.
Selecting a washing machine isn't a particularly fun task, though Consumer Reports (ever the hero when it comes to appliances) does have a buying guide to help you narrow down what's important.
Generally speaking, however, capacity, energy efficiency, and price seem to be the factors most important to consumers. And, although some buyers can be swayed, usually there's a big preference for front loader or top loader washing machines. (That's before tackling the companion dryer question.)
While the choices seem unlimited, you'll find there aren't that many solid options out there – especially if you have size, budget, or capacity restraints. And, incidentally, you'll find the reason why we've managed to keep this list so compact in our #3 Fave. While not our absolute fave, it's abilities may just surprise you.

Twins Get Teen Lefthander From Dodgers For Butera
The Twins acquired teenage lefthander Miguel Sulbaran from the Los Angeles Dodgers as the player to be named later in last month's trade of catcher Drew Butera.
Sulbaran, 19, is currently at the Single-A level where he is 6-4 with a 3.01 ERA. He is in his third year of pro baseball, and was recently ranked as the LA Dodgers' 14th best prospect.

So, I am not really a painter. I've done a few pieces here and there but most things I do are abstract and not really based on anything specific. But when I was decorating Keylee's room I wanted a couple wall hangings to match in her bathroom (also the guest bathroom). I wanted the pieces to look like her bedspread which was made by a dear friend based on one I had found online at quite a high price.
|This is the set my friend made in Keylee's room before she was born, isn't it amazing!
I didn't have enough leftover to just put the material in the frames and I also wanted to pick some specific flowers from the pattern. So, I cheated and made something myself with canvas paper, trace paper, a permanent marker, and some acrylic paint.
Take the material you want to copy. Trace it with pencil onto trace paper (I borrowed this trace paper from a kids meal trace book I picked up somewhere along the way). Then lay it on your canvas and draw over the pencil with permanent marker. I used canvas paper so I could frame it but this would work on any canvas or paper really. Make sure you hold the paper in place tightly so your trace is straight. The marker will bleed through the trace paper and give you a nice outline for painting. From that point it is just painting over it with whatever medium you choose.
Have fun!

WARRIORS TRAINING CAMP / Biedrins expecting a bulked-up role
Six months after he was drafted by the Warriors, Andris Biedrins plunked down $100,000 on a new Porsche Cayenne Turbo. The SUV -- with its V-8 engine and 450 horsepower -- is a hulking, intimidating, 2 1/2-ton machine.
In other words, it's everything Biedrins isn't.
Warriors vice president Chris Mullin tabbed the slender Latvian as his big man of the future when he took Biedrins with the 11th pick in the 2004 draft.
The 19-year-old remains as much of a project now as he was then, but with three centers departing via trade since Biedrins was drafted, Golden State needs its teenager to contribute this season.
"I'm ready," Biedrins said.
He will have to be. Just before he left for training camp, Biedrins said he wanted to play 12 to 15 minutes per game -- or slightly more than he averaged after joining the Warriors' rotation in March. The minutes are available with Biedrins serving as Adonal Foyle's primary backup.
Playing them all is the issue.
Biedrins took just 21 minutes to foul out of the Warriors' exhibition opener. He checked in with 5:29 remaining in the first quarter and picked up three straight fouls.
Warriors coach Mike Montgomery screamed at him to dig in faster, to beat his opponent to the post. When Biedrins came out four minutes later, Montgomery was still giving him an earful.
"Andris is a little light in the butt," Montgomery said. "He's got to do his work early. Once you get buried down there, you start reaching in, trying to get your spot and they're going to call a foul."
For Biedrins, it all goes back to bulk. Opponents see him in the game and are taken back to high school or college, where they dominated because of their size.
The Lakers' Chris Mihm and Kwame Brown both called for the ball and pounded it inside against him during Tuesday's game. They knew he was vulnerable.
So does Biedrins.
"The first thing when I go on the court, some big guy will say 'Oh, he's weaker than me. I'm bigger, stronger. Now I will get him,' " Biedrins said. "I worked all summer in the weight room to try to get stronger, but still, I need a lot of work. So I have to be ready."
Biedrins added about 10 pounds of muscle in the offseason to push his weight close to 245 pounds. He also measured a half-inch taller during team physicals, which puts him at just under 7-feet without shoes.
His ability to stay out of foul trouble is crucial for the Warriors, who brought nine big men into training camp but are currently without much depth or experience.
Power forward Ike Diogu broke his left hand last week and Chris Taft has been hampered by back and groin strains.
Center Deji Akindele is an undrafted rookie and Justin Davis has played professionally only overseas. Neither is expected to make the roster. Center Mamadou N'Diaye is the lone invitee with NBA experience, playing a total of 69 games for four teams in five seasons.
If Biedrins has trouble staying on the court -- he averaged a foul every 4 1/2 minutes last season -- then Montgomery's best option might be to use a small lineup. He could push Troy Murphy to center and Mike Dunleavy to power forward, creating more time for the quality guards on his roster.
Biedrins is hoping matchups, not his foul trouble, will dictate the smaller arrangement. The last thing he wants is to be known as the player sunk by fouls, either way: gets too many called and can't make any free throws.
"The main thing is I can make those, but it's more mental. When I get to the free-throw line, I'm just nervous," said Biedrins, who shot 47.5 percent from the foul line last year. "In practices, I can make it. In games, it's just a different story."
Biedrins says he shoots between 100 and 200 extra fouls shots after practice to keep his mechanics sharp and build confidence. He hopes that carries over into increased playing time and responsibility -- the latter of which he learned about this summer when became a first-time home owner.
Biedrins moved across Lake Merritt into a high-rise penthouse, taking with him his only household possession: a pool table. There wasn't enough space in the two-bedroom pad for the prized game piece, so he put it outside on the patio.
Now he's calling pockets with teammate Zarko Cabarkapa under fresh air and moonlit skies. When he looks into his condo, he sees his own couch, his own TV and his own coffee table -- pieces he chose and coordinated.
June's draft brought the end of Biedrins' reign as the youngest player in the league, but he is still the Warriors' youngest member. And he remains a kid at heart.
After practice Friday, Biedrins took a permanent marker to a stack of team photographs. He gave Dunleavy a pig snout, Cabarkapa a fuzzy beard, and Calbert Cheaney a pair of shades.
If only he could give himself a Superman tattoo and some Popeye arms.

Following up with yesterday's news that Beyoncé dropped out of Clint Eastwood's A Star Is Born remake, citing a jam-packed schedule… the singer/actress released a statement to The Hollywood Reporter regarding her exit, stating:
"I was looking forward to the production of A Star Is Born and the opportunity to work with Clint Eastwood. For months we tried to coordinate our schedules to bring this remake to life, but it was just not possible. Hopefully in the future we will get a chance to work together. "
You'll recall Sergio's September post in which Eastwood, responding in an interview about Beyoncé's involvement in the project, stated: "She's great. I don't know if she's available, but we've talked a little bit."
Maybe a sign of what was eventually to come, as reported last night.
Warner Bros. had no comment, with the project still searching for its male lead, in what has been a casting carousel that's gone on for some time – Leonardo DiCaprio, Tom Cruise,Christian Bale, Johnny Depp and, most recently, Bradley Cooper.
So what's on Beyoncé's "jam-packed" slate that we should be aware of?
In addition to work on a new album… there was the August report that said Ms Knowles just might make her feature film directorial debut, with a documentary that's being described as a mix of music and personal study, blending concert footage with confessional interviews.
Ms Knowles and her reps were said to have been shopping a non-fiction film to Hollywood studios (showing 20 minutes of footage) that will center on her life and career that she will not only star in of course, but will also direct and produce.
While it certainly won't be the first time that Ms Knowles is the subject of a documentary film, it will be the first time that she's the subject of a documentary film directed by her. And with the eventful life she's led in the last few years, baby, husband, split from her father, top-selling albums and singles, Grammy Awards, international popularity, and more, she certainly has plenty to talk about.
But no movement on that project yet, as far as we know.
Also, there was early September's revelation from former Executive Vice President of Tyler Perry Studios, Roger Bobb, who left the company earlier this year to start his own film production company called Bobcat Films, and made his feature film directorial debut with a project titled Raising Izzie – a film that premiered on the GMC (Gospel Music Channel) in July.
Bobb revealed in an interview with Humor Mill TV, that he had a few projects in the pipeline, including, as he said, "a remake of a very popular black love story," although he doesn't share what that "very popular black love story" is.
The first question we had was,of course, what "very popular black love story" Bobb was referring to. We figured that it might be the Mahogany remake that we alerted you to about a week prior, which Suzanne de Passe optioned the rights to, and is producing via her de Pass-Jones Entertainment production company. No director was attached to the project when we first wrote about it, so it could very well be that Roger Bobb is their guy.
And in the same interview, the interviewer, Frank Holder, who seemed to be in-the-know about the project, let it slip that he had a "funny feeling it [the remake] has something to do with Beyoncé and…"
He didn't finish his sentence, instead saying that they'll get back to it later in the interview, but they never did.
So, if Frank knows something about the project, and he's right about the Beyoncé attachment to whatever it is, what could the film be? We still think it comes down to Mahogany and Claudine. Although if it's Beyoncé, then one might automatically expect there to be some singing, or a musical.
But that's all we have currently on tap for Ms Knowles. Of course, she's a relatively new mother as well.

Hello and thanks for stopping by the blog hop! I am so excited to share the layout I made using the stamp Totally Stamp Set from Precious Remembrance.
There are so many ways to use this stamp on cards, layouts and notes for kids lunchboxes. I decided to make my own pattern for a layout using 2 of the stamp in this stamp set. First I put some washi on my layout so that I could make a good diagonal pattern. I picked out some inks and started stamping.
This is the completed patter:
I then used my August Clique Kit to make some layer behind a picture collage of me and my mom taking silly selfies. I used the ephemera form the kit to embellish my layout…here are some close ups:
And here is the completed layout. I love this stamp set and can't wait to use it on more projects.
Thanks again for stopping by and remember winners will be chosen by comments lft on the blogs. Clique Kits prize is a $20 gif certificate to the shop and Precious Remembrance is giving away a Totally Stamp Set.

Castro's real gripe with the U.S...
(H/T: Ammoland)
Maybe these can be used against the Ethiopian ants.
Hey, you don't want to catch the Ninja-bread Man!
Military personnel experience a close one this Thanksgiving.
After Canadian PM Justin Trudeau beclowns himself with a gag-worthy encomium to the late Fidel Castro, numerous wags on the internet disport themselves in plying the Trudeau eulogy meme.

It has been a long time since I last wrote a blog post. Since abandoning this little blog a few years ago there have been a lot of changes in my life. I have moved with my husband into a lovely little cottage near the sea. It has a sweet little garden with space for our chickens, and even roses by the door! It still needs some work but we are looking at it as a long-term project!
A few weeks after we moved in our beautiful baby girl was born. She has changed my life in the most wonderful ways, not least because I have learned my capacity to cope with sleep deprivation is greater than I ever imagined!
She has changed the way I look at the world, and made me excited about all the things I can share with her.
I'm getting to the end of my maternity leave now, and as she's getting older I'm finding I occasionally have a few moments to myself to get back into making things and art journalling. I've missed having somewhere to share what I've been up to, so I've decided to dip back into blogging in the hope that it will keep my creativity flowing once I'm back at work, and maybe even inspire some of you to stretch your creative muscles too! I look forward to sharing the journey with you...

Show Your Work! by Austin Kleon
Looking for a new book to read, I saw this at the library and added it to the small stack of books I checked out. It looks like dozens of other books I've seen, inspirational and self-help-y. After seeing so many over the years (ten years working at Barns and Noble gave me a lot of exposure to a lot of books), I might be a little jaded.
But this one I like.
Show Your Work!: 10 Ways to Share Your Creativity and Get Discovered is for creative people who hate self-promotion. I'm a writer, and while I was working on a book, one of the things I heard a lot about was the necessity of self-promotion. I love to write. Self promotion? Not so much. Promoting myself and my work felt like a daunting, never-ending chore. In the past I've been told to build a network, to use social media to my professional advantage. Bleah. Hard. Exhausting.
Austin Kleon offers a reframe on how I've looked at - and felt about - self-promotion. He talks about sharing our work, talking about and posting online about what we're doing, what we're thinking, what we're working on. Instead of the "lone genius" paradigm that many of us still think of when we think of creative people (I know I do), he offers the new idea of putting our stuff out there, even before there is an end "product". This inviting people to see, comment, add ideas and thoughts is not only helpful for gaining an audience, it also helps us with our own creative process and work.
The way Kleon describes it, it sounds like fun. And helpful. Even liberating.
Kleon also talked about ways to honor your own creativity and personality. One chapter I liked was the one about having no guilty pleasures. Like what you like, he says, don't be ashamed or even think of them as guilty pleasures. Me? I like pop music. I like other kinds of music too (she hurriedly qualifies), and sometimes I admit that I've been embarrassed about liking pop music. So all right, I'll say it again. I like pop music.
Kleon is saying to put yourself out there. Give attention and validity to what you do, what you like, what and how you create. And don't work in a vacuum. Excellent advice.

Geek Love by Katherine Dunn
Geek Love opens with a father telling his children a story. He's telling them the story of how he met their mother. The children love this story, and listen to it eagerly.
A lovely beginning, right? Well...Al met their mother, Crystal Lil, when she was geeking, that is, biting the heads off of live chickens for show.
With this skewed storytelling scene, we are brought into the Binewski family, Al and Crystal Lil, the creators of Fabulon, and their children who are also the main attractions of the traveling carnival.
The Binewski's lives revolve around the carnival, Al and Crystal Lil literally creating their children to be attractions for Fabulon. There are the gentle Siamese twins, there is megalomaniac Aqua Boy, and there is Olympia, the humpbacked, albino dwarf, who narrates.
We see Oly's family and carnival life through her eyes, the eyes of what is her normal. The Binewskis are a family, and as families do, they deal with sibling rivalry, struggle with parents, with living together in close quarters, with growing up.
They are also a family of freaks, and proudly so.
I had a lot of different reactions while I was reading Geek Love. Revulsion, recognition, fascination...What is freakish? What is normal? Who's to say? I couldn't put this down.

The Circle by Dave Eggers
Not only is The Circle a good read, it is also a cautionary tale. Eggers tells a story that could easily reflect a possible online future. (A friend of mine said..."possible? or inevitable?")
As the story opens, Mae Holland is just starting her job at The Circle, a company that has created a unified online community. The Circle isn't an online community, it is THE online community. Everyone has one online identity. There is no more identity theft. No one has to remember dozens of passwords for different websites. Online, everyone is who they truly are.
As Mae learns more about her job at The Circle, she is encouraged to become more and more involved in The Circle community. She is expected to attend events and "zing" about them. She is expected to share her opinions about products. She is expected to wear a bracelet that tracks her physical activities. She is expected to develop an extensive online network. Mae is drawn in, and so are we.
How far can this go? As it happens, pretty far. In the end though, the question for me wasn't how far can this go, but how far should this go? How far do we want it to go?
I think there are books that come along that are important to read. Dragnet Nation: A Quest for Privacy, Security, and Freedom in a World of Relentless Surveillance by Julia Angwin is one, as she writes about how invasive the internet is now*.
The Circle is another. While fiction (Dragnet Nation is non-fiction), The Circle's portrayal of what online community could look like is insightful and (perhaps) prescient enough to give pause. Big pause. Both books have made me reevaluate my own online presence in a big way.

Watership Down
This last holiday season at Whole Foods, we sold some stuffed plush animals. One of them was a beautiful, wild looking rabbit. One of my coworkers bought him as a gift for a friend's baby. She bought him because he reminded her of Hazel.
Ah, Hazel! And Fiver and Pipkin and Bigwig! It had been so long since I read Watership Down! It was great to reminisce about reading this great book.
I told my coworker/friend that it's such a hard book to describe. I told her that after I'd read it in high school and my mom asked what it was about, I told her (inadequately) that it was about a bunch of rabbits.
"Oh, but it's about so much more! Bravery and friendship and adventure...so much!"
And of course she was right right. I decided it was time to read Watership Down again. And so I am. A good way to start the year.
What are you reading to start 2015?

Case Histories
I've decided to try something a little different on the blog. In the past, I've written blog posts that included several small reviews of books I've read. They've often been titled "Notes on Some Books" or something similar. That's been fine, but what I think might work better (better in terms of people searching for reviews) is to write a blog post for each book individually. So that's what I'm trying this year. Let me know what you think!
Case Histories: A Novel by Kate Atkinson
The first three chapters of Case Histories: A Novel are three separate tragedy vignettes, all with unrelated characters. A small child disappears in the night with her stuffed blue mouse. A young woman is gunned down at her father's workplace. There is domestic violence.
We then meet Jackson, a detective, and events and players gradually come together and relationships and mysteries come clear. Atkinson keep the tension high as she gradually brings us details of each situation and character. A very good read.

Esa-Pekka Salonen and the Philharmonia Orchestra perform Mahler's cosmic First Symphony.
Growing from an ethereal, barely audible seven-octave chord in the strings, this is music that is truly `like the world'.
Containing within its walls the rustling sounds of nature, a street band, klezmer and even a satirical version of Frère Jacques, Mahler builds to one of the most joyful, rocket-fuelled codas of any symphony.
Also on the bill, hear David Fray perform Beethoven's Piano Concerto No.2.
`In short, Fray presented himself as a poet.' (Chicago Tribune)

The University of Michigan has produced a new iOS app to aid patients in self check for skin cancer. Called UNSkinCheck, the free app includes:
- steps to a skin cancer self exam
- continuing surveillance
- creating and storyg a full body photographic library
- track detected moles/lesions
- download informational videos and literature
Creating a Skin Cancer Prevention Story in Pictures
A skin cancer self exam is used to identify suspicious moles or lesions that may be cancer or growths that may develop into skin cancer (precancers). Individuals who are at a high risk of skin cancer are encouraged to perform frequent skin self exams and to have full body photographic surveys taken by professional photographers. Now with UMSkinCheck patients will be able to complete a full skin cancer self exam and survey, track and create a history of moles and lesions all through a handheld mobile device.
"Whole body photography is a well-established resource for following patients at risk for melanoma. However, it requires a professional photographer, is not always covered by insurance, and can be an inconvenience. Now that many people have digital cameras on their phones, it's more feasible to do this at home," says Michael Sabel, M.D., associate professor of surgery at the U-M Medical School, who was the lead physician involved in developing the app.
More than 2 million Americans are diagnosed with skin cancer each year, and some 50,000 will be diagnosed with melanoma, the most serious kind. Regular skin checks can help people discover melanoma in its earliest stages.
The app, a collaboration of the University of Michigan's technology and clinical expertise, guides users through a series of 23 photos, covering the body from head to toe. Photos are stored within the app and serve as a baseline for future comparisons. The app will create a reminder to repeat a skin self-exam on a regular basis.
If a mole appears to be changing or growing, the photos can then be shared with your dermatologist at Associates in Dermatology to help determine whether a biopsy is necessary.

Kate Upton insists fashion fails can be "fun".
While most models strive to look immaculate at all times, the 21-year-old likes to take style risks. They don't always work out, but she claims that is all part of the learning process.
"What's great about the red carpet is that you get the opportunity to experiment with different fashion moments. Even if they're not so successful, it's fun to see different styles on your body," she told vogue.com.au.
Kate thinks most people run into problems with their dress sense when they try to be something they aren't. While she has come a long way from the bikini and flip-flops she was usually seen in as a teenager in Florida, she knows the shapes that suit her best. The model calls her style "sophisticated" and cites Oscar de la Renta, Louis Vuitton and Ralph Lauren as some of her favourite fashion houses.
Having graced the covers of magazines such as US Vogue and Sports Illustrated, Kate is at the top of her game at the moment. In 2014 she plans to take some time to consider what she's achieved, something she didn't pay much attention to until a discussion with her mother recently.
"I've worked incredibly hard to get to this position. My mom actually told me last year that with all my success and the opportunities that I have come my way, I need to look up and enjoy what I have accomplished and not just keep moving forward," she explained.
"You can get caught up and keep going further and further and keep pushing yourself. I really needed to hear that so that I enjoy the moment and what I've accomplished. If I could tell something to my younger self, it would be to enjoy the climb."
Although she's doing well career-wise, Kate gets attacks of the nerves before photoshoots. She enlists the help of her personal trainer to help her work off her anxiety but insists worrying about campaigns is a good thing as it shows how much she still cares.

White flight in England
White populations in towns and cities are dwindling at record levels and in extreme cases have halved in a decade, it was revealed today. In Newham, east London, just 16 per cent of the population are white, compared to 33 per cent ten years ago.Bussing. Right. Because that worked SO WELL in the USA. The amusing part is the Asians complaining that no sooner do they invade a white neighborhood than the whites leave and force them to live surrounded by - the horror - other people like them!
Academic Ted Cantle, a Government adviser of community cohesion, says by the 2021 census the polarisation will be even greater and suggests Government intervention like ensuring ethnic balance by 'placing pupils in diverse schools'.
The report says many towns and cities, such as Birmingham, Leicester, Slough, Luton, Bradford and London, have seen areas develop where the white British population is 'increasingly dwindling' as minorities increase. Professor Cantle cites Blackburn as one of the most segregated towns in Britain whose Whalley Range area is now 95 per cent Asian and the local butcher admits he has never served a white Briton.
Today's landmark report suggests the state intervenes to halt the white majority becoming increasingly segregated from growing ethnic populations in urban areas. One suggestion is the 'bussing' in of white children into schools with high ethnic populations, or vice-versa.
It has been used in America in schools where more than 85 per cent of students are from the same background. A 'quota' from the an alternate ethnic group is then sent by bus from another nearby area.
The report says: 'Politicians and policy-makers need to encourage white British residents to remain in diverse areas; to choose, rather than avoid, diverse areas when they do re-locate, encouraging similar choices with respect to placing pupils in diverse schools; in other words to create a positive choice for mixed areas and a shared society'
Soon, there will be nowhere left to run, nowhere left to fly. What, then, will the British people do?

Things are going well over here in Oxford. so well, in-fact, I can reveal that I am working towards releasing my first collection on Eostre (Easter) as a celebration of new beginnings. The collection will be specifically Eostre themed, each doll representing a tradition or symbol.
I have a long way to go, though - Currently I am busy trying to find the perfect Studio. Do I choose something pretty, a SummerHouse, that will look nice in the courtyard, and I can paint it wonderfully, plant flowers all about it, or do I buy a square, modern, studio space? Something that looks smart, and neat and says 'Some-one's doing serious business here' I haven't even started getting my head around the insulation and inner fittings yet! I never knew there were so many options, so many choices.
It is terribly exciting, though, and I am far from complaining. To have my own space I can go into and close the door, a place that is *outside* of the house so I feel like I have gone to work, and am away from home-comfort distractions, means I can really get my head down and work on making this new collection.
I am almost there with the pattern, my newest Spryte, Mabon, looks perfect, just needs a little bend taking out of her knees, and I think we will be there! I now have 5 Sprytes, Oct, Felian, Berta, Unamed, and Mabon, all in varying degrees of completion looking at me forlornly, impatiently, amused. I have fixed the problems I was having with the feet, which is such a relief I can hardly explain to you!
I don't have any photos for you, sadly - they are all evading the camera. I'm hoping by the end of next week to catch them.
So now that the pattern is coming together the way I want, I can look towards the materials and supplies I am looking forward to using. English wool, both for stuffing and for their hair and detailing. Fairtrade unbleached cotton and muslin, and then found objects around where I live, feathers, bones, bits of recycled fabrics.
They will be a celebration of all things british, pagan, and Earthly.
I am so excited, the most excited I have been for a long time about my Little Sprytes! And I hope you will come with me on this fantastical journey.
Love, hugs, and Sprytley kisses,
The British Faery

Kit - Kat
I am sitting at my desk in York Road Junior School. A visitor is explaining to us that the makers of Kit - Kat are thinking of changing the flavour and we are asked to help. We will be given two bars to eat, there and then in class, and asked which one we prefer. One bar is the old flavour; one the new - but we won't be told which is which.
This is almost too good to be true, until it comes to the test. One bar tastes so revolting that I immediately spit it back into the wrapper and lift my desk lid just enough to slip the mess out of sight.
I have posted numerous autobiographical Blogs here, but have never written about my second school, York Road County Primary School in Dartford. I attended only the Junior half of a two-site school; the Infants department was located in nearby St Alban's Road but I did not attend that. I was a Junior School pupil for the three years 1955 to 1958, passing through the classes of Mrs Clarke, Mrs Faulkner and Mr Brown (whose job it was to prepare us for the 11+). The photograph shows me in Mrs Faulkner's class of 1956 - 57 - fifth from the right in the first seated row.
I lived a short distance from the school, at the top of East Hill over my father's shop Babyland and went home at lunch times. As I got close, I would be listening out to hear if my father was shouting. My parents' marriage was dysfunctional most of the time and it began to take its toll on me: I had night sweats, palpitations, food phobias, digestive problems. At some point in my Junior School years my mother took me to the doctor. I was prescribed phenobarbitones (barbiturates), small white pills, but could not swallow them. My mother got me to eat them, crushed into the middle of a jam sandwich. Later,maybe when I was eleven or twelve, I imagined that my mother was trying to poison me.
At York Road, I had my first and only crush on a teacher, Miss Orpen - Jo Orpen (we even knew her first name!) - who may well have been a bit alternative (CND? Beatnik?) and was a student teacher and very pretty. She took an interest in our playground games (and may even have joined in). We played cigarette cards: you propped some cards (mostly from Brooke Bond tea packets) against a wall and flicked other cards at them. If you made a card fall down, you won it.
We also played conkers, marbles, chase, and piggy back fighting: at one time, I wore a thin silver chain and Star sign pendant round my neck. Someone grabbed hold of the chain during a piggy back fight. I didn't fall off but went home with a red line round my neck and a broken chain.
I wasn't Miss Orpen's favourite. That was Graham Beech, the tall handsome boy looking down in the middle of the photograph and who as a young man was killed in a motorcycle accident.
I still have my Composition book from 1957 - 58 - it was as much about writing in ink with a steel pen as about writing. The actual Compositions are a mix of imaginative and factual:
Added 25 July 2018: I have now published a memoir of my childhood, I Have Done This In Secret (degree zero 2018), freely available from Amazon, Waterstones, and other booksellers

Graham Beach actually died in a plane crash. He joined the RAF after DGS and was killed in summer 1967 on a training flight in Cambridgeshire. It was shortly after Dave Markan's death and I remember it quite well. His father had served in the Navy in the war with my father based at Chatham Dockyard and so we knew the family who lived on the Fleet Estate in Dartford.ReplyDelete
Jo Orpin was great (and very cute). I hope she had a happy and successful life.

I submitted most of my applications in Oct/Nov, with 2 LOR's. I was WL'd by some of my top choices, and had a professor submit an additional LOR to LSAC. It is now received by LSAC, and I "assigned" it to those schools.
My question is - will they pass it along to the schools? From what I can tell, they send LOR's with your initial application --> "letters/evaluations that you assign will be sent with your law school reports." Considering my initial application has been complete for months, do I need to do something additional?
Thank you in advance.
Quick question about additional LOR's

LSAC will automatically send them off for you once they are assigned to a school. Give it a few days.

« Trip Report : Sunday 13th March 2011 Circular hike from the Camp Site to the summit of Doi Pui via the Coffee Shop
One comment
Mike Garrick (8 years)
As the one injured on this hike, I'm happy to report no damage to my vision, only a laceration on my eyelid that required 8 stitches. My thanks to the two participants who provided very capable first aid in the field, and to the skilled surgeon at Ram Hospitl who closed the wound. Reminds me how important it is to have a First Aid Kit and people who know how to provide first aid on each of our trips.

To glue polypropylene, use a combination of a liquid plastic primer and adhesive or a two-component adhesive, and apply them on cleaned polypropylene surfaces. Press the polypropylene pieces against each other tightly and allow the glue to dry overnight.
The liquid plastic primer and adhesive or a two-component adhesive are available in home improvement or hardware shops. For the glue to be effective, flatten the polypropylene surfaces and clean them with a damp rag to remove grease, dirt and any protrusions. If the surfaces are too smooth, sand them with emery cloth or sandpaper.
Apply a coat of the plastic primer on both the surfaces and wait for approximately one minute to allow the primer to become dry and sticky. Now, apply a coat of the plastic adhesive evenly on both the surfaces. Alternatively, use a dispenser gun to dispense the two components of the polypropylene adhesive uniformly together on the surfaces.
After adhesive application, press the two surfaces together immediately and hold them tightly against each other for a minimum of 30 seconds. If required, clamp the two polypropylene pieces together. Clean any excess glue with a rag or scrape it with a knife if the glue dries fast. For the glue to work effectively, it must dry overnight.

It's no coincidence that all of Victor Bolden's scholarship offers to play football came on the heels of a track season that was the best in his school's history. The first member of the Los Osos High School track team to reach the state meet has been issued four scholarship offers since his last race on June 1.
The senior receiver added Utah to the list on Tuesday, joining offers from Oregon State, Hawaii and FCS school Eastern Washington. The 5-foot-9, 165-pound Bolden is convinced his performance in the 300-meter hurdles has almost as much to do with the attention he's receiving as the three-star prospect's 48 receptions for 507 yards last season.
"If they see that you have that elite speed it can be a big deal to them," Bolden said. "It's crazy how they pick up on every little thing, but they noticed that I did so well in track and it it tells them that I have athletic ability, endurance and speed."
Bolden was offered by Hawaii shortly after track season ended and received an offer from Oregon State two days after attending the Beavers' camp at Fullerton Junior College on June 16. Bolden has also been in contact with Cal, USC and UCLA, all of which held camps he has attended this summer. He has also received interest from Oregon.
Bolden, who will likely play slot receiver but is also receiving interest as a cornerback, would prefer to make a decision about his college destination before his senior season begins.
"I think it would be better for my team and my family if I could commit before the season and if not, I want to make a decision early in the season," Bolden said. "Right now, I'm just taking it all in."

My oh my, do the political battles today make me long for a simpler, gentler, more unified time in our nation's history, like the 1960s. And as always, when the tempers flare to a point that the flames burn reasoned argument beyond recognition, I look to the animals and wonder what they may have to teach us.
The answer is, frankly, a whole lot. Stop and think about it. Don't we all want the following in our politicians..?
Loyalty to family and friend. Healthy suspicion of strangers until they prove themselves to be, too, family and friend. And then the circle of loyalty expands to embrace them, for it is without limit. Ask a dog.
Attention to the comforts of a warm and safe home. A willingness to be content with what you have, to make of any place — any place which offers the most basic needs of food and shelter — your actualized dream. Ask a cat.
The ability to forgive. We're all imperfect, we all make mistakes. The question isn't whether or not we will make errors, but only if we can live up to the second chance we will obviously all need. Ask a dog.
Attention to what's around us as well as a curiosity about what it offers, to be aware of the risks without a paralyzing fear of exploring them. Ask a cat.
And the ability to accept and to give love. Ask a dog and a cat.
I vote the Flea Party ticket, how about you?

Tire Chart Woes
I was just reading "Wheel Bolt Patterns" in your Apr. '10 issue. You may want to reexamine some of your info regarding the '69-'09 Blazer/Jimmy/Tahoe/Yukon (fullsize). I think you will discover that it should be 6-on-51/2 and not the 8-on-61/2 you have printed. I cannot recall ever seeing a single eight-lug factory K-5 Blazer or Jimmy. Other than that, keep up the great magazine.
Blake Haulsee
Taneytown, MD
You're right and wrong. Yukon XLs and CUCVs are both 8-on-61/2, but the majority sported 6-on-51/2 like the 1500. Unfortunately, with no copy editors and nearly 100 rigs on the list, small oversights happen, and we apologize for the confusion.
Jeep Questions In Nuts & Bolts
I was really disappointed in the Nuts & Bolts section with Jeep in the May '10 issue. I can't believe that no questions were asked to Jeep on future engine options, like diesel or Hemi? I have an '07 Wrangler Rubicon Unlimited, and I hate the 3.8L engine-I love everything else about my Jeep but the engine is a dog! What about the Pentastar V-6? What are the specs on that? What about crate swaps for '07-'10 Jeep Wranglers? Any options there?
Too bad that Jeep has not listened to us Jeep owners out here who are wondering why the diesel or Hemi is not an option! Come on, guys! I think that Petersen's 4-Wheel & Off-Road missed an opportunity there!
Patrick Blum
via www.4wheeloffroad.com
Tech Editor Fred Williams responds:
We recently finished the series of Nuts & Bolts sections where OEMs answered our questions, and maybe we weren't clear on how it worked. Each month we rounded up three or four pages of questions and submitted them to the OEMs. We were lucky if they answered half. We did indeed ask about new engines, and Jeep decided (like most of the OEMs did) not to comment on future vehicles. We had hoped Jeep would use our pages as a place to reveal some news.
We went ahead and asked some other guys behind the scene at Jeep. These guys are not in public relations, design, or engineering, but instead in the custodial crew at Jeep headquarters. They dug through the Dumpsters and files and eavesdropped in the restrooms. They lead us to believe that the new Pentastar V-6 slated for the coming Grand Cherokee may indeed show up in the Wrangler, but they didn't have any power numbers for us and couldn't determine if it would have something like a turbo, a supercharger, or both installed.
As for the diesel Wrangler, we've heard everything from mysterious diesel Wranglers seen testing on the Rubicon to a special 6.7L Cummins-powered Jeep pickup. Unfortunately our mole on the janitorial team couldn't confirm these rumors, though he did say the guys in the design studio have lots of colored-pencil shavings in their trash can. Maybe Jeep management is still weighing the pros and cons of which new engine and powertrain is best for Jeep's next generation of Wranglers. Remember that this time last year there was questions about whether Chrysler and Jeep would close their doors, so these guys are being more than careful not to develop and deliver some vehicle that isn't right. And in case you are worried, we feel that the guys in charge over at Jeep are some of the most enthusiastic and dedicated at any automaker when it comes to delivering a vehicle that won't diminish their heritage.
That said, we were as disappointed as you; but rather than repeat rumors and theories from sources other than the official mouth of Jeep, we'll instead wait until we have an official answer to your questions and ours about new engines.
More Nuts & Bolts
First off, let me say you guys have a great mag and I look forward to it every month. I had to laugh at the last part of the Nuts & Bolts Jeep Q&A in the May '10 issue: "a smaller solid-axle commuter Jeep that gets 35 mpg, holds two people, and can be used from city streets to ranch pastures." That sounds a lot like a Suzuki Samurai (still sold around the world as the Suzuki Jimny) to me. You can still get these great little trucks all over the world except here in the U.S., thanks to the Consumer Reports issue. They still have body-on frame construction and solid axles and now come with a three-link/coil-spring suspension!
For the record, I owned an '87 with 5 inches of lift and 31s, and I drove the wee out of it on and off road for over three years and never came close to rolling it. I even ran the Rattler trail at the now defunct Paragon Adventure Park, which was rated for 33-inch-plus tires and at least one locker, when I had only 29-inch Thornbirds and open diffs. (Loved that OME suspension!)

I'm an avid off-roader and love your magazine a lot! It's very informative and full of ideas and stuff, which I find very useful, and I am able to learn a lot about 4WD. Kudos to you guys. Big thanks. I was also wondering if it is possible for you to send me some stickers. I can slap them on my rigs to show my support and love. Hope to hear from you soon. Thanks again.
Sorry, Caleb, we don't send stickers out; we give them away at trail rides and events. When are you going to invite us to come wheeling in Singapore?

The Best Dual SIM Phones
Dual SIM phones have a lot going for them. They're pretty much what you would expect: a device that allows you to run two SIM cards simultaneously. And as more and more people are wanting to run business and personal phones, dual SIM models are becoming more and more popular. It used to be that dual SIM hand sets were expensive and low powered, but times are changing, and there are some awesome dual SIM smart phones on today's shelves. If you're looking for a great phone that just happens to be able to run two SIM cards, then we've collected the best UK available models right here, so check out your best options…
The Motorola Moto G 2nd Generation Dual SIM
The 2nd generation Moto G from Motorola is one of the best dual SIM phones on the market right now, and just goes to show that you don't need to make too many compromises if you want a two SIM card phone. With classic Motorola design this is a full featured, 4G capable smart phone that will run both your SIM cards.
What kind of specs are we looking at here? The Moto G 2nd generation runs a quad core 1.2 GHz processor and 1 GB of RAM, so it's plenty speedy. You'll be getting a full five inch display with tons of room for reading, typing and video watching. There's a 2 MP front facing cam, and an 8 MP rear facing camera. The Moto G comes in two versions, one 8GB and one 16 GB, but both have an SD card slot for up to 32 GB of extra memory. All in all a very solid mid range phone, and one that will please even the most demanding user.
The Samsung Galaxy S5 Duos
Samsung have long been king of the smart phone, and their flagship models often come in a variety of different incarnations. Last year's best selling Galaxy S5 model happens to also come in a dual SIM format. Looking and feeling almost exactly like the original S5, the S5 Duos doesn't come cheap, but it is an awesome phone. Be warned that the Duos is a little tough to find with UK operators, so you might need to hunt it down.
You will be getting a hearty quad core 2.5 GHz processor and 2 GB of RAM though, giving you awesome performance. There's a 5.1 inch Super AMOLED display with stunning colour resolution. Camera wise you're looking at a 2 MP front facing camera and a huge 16 MP rear facing cam. The Galaxy S5 Duos comes with 16 GB of internal memory, but an SD card slot lets you bump that up to a massive 128 GB should you need it. Pricey, yes, but this is a top of the line, high end smart phone, and might be worth the extra cash if you're a big time phone user.
The HTC One E8
HTC too have been vying for the top end of the market with their One series, most notably the super powerful One M8 and M9 models. The One E8 is their contribution to the dual SIM market, and again this is a high end model with great performance and specs and a price tag to match. Design wise this is one of the slimmest and sleekest of dual SIM models, and is certainly a fashion statement.
The One E8 runs a quad core 2.5 GHz processor alongside 2 GB of RAM, so performance really isn't an issue here at all. There's a five inch LCD3 screen. The front facing camera on the E8 is a huge 5 MP, whilst the back is a more expected 13 MP. The One E8 comes with 16 GB of built in memory, and again an SD card slot for up to 128 GB of extra storage.
The Motorola Moto E Dual SIM
If you're looking for affordability in a dual SIM phone then the Motorola Moto E should be right up your street. A fully touch screened smart phone, the Moto E is basically a budget version of the Moto G, and that means big savings for you.
You'll be getting a dual core 1.2 GHz processor and 1 GB of RAM, so this isn't the highest powered of phones, though performance is still pretty snappy. There's a 4.3 inch screen, making the Moto E nicely portable. There is no front facing camera though, and the rear has only a 5 MP device. You'll get 4 GB of built in memory, with an SD card slot for up to 32 GB of extra storage should you need it.
The Nokia Lumia 630 Dual SIM
If you're not looking for an Android then your dual SIM options are a little limited, but Nokia do make a range of dual SIM Lumia phones, though specs aren't quite as high as we'd really like to see. The Lumia 630 dual SIM is probably the best of the bunch, and it's a brightly coloured and affordable device that runs Windows 8.1 out of the box.
The Lumia 630 has a quad core 1.2 GHz processor on board and 512 MB of RAM, meaning day to day performance is solid, though there are no lightening fast speeds here. The display is 4.5 inches, and again there's no front facing cam only a 5 MP rear facing device. The 630 comes with 8 GB of built in storage, but an SD card slot offers the possibility to add up to 128 GB of extra memory.
The HTC Desire 816 Dual SIM
Finally, the HTC Desire 816 dual SIM is maybe one of the best bargains around, packing some impressive specs into a mid range smart phone. You still get that beautiful slim-lined HTC desire, but the Desire 816 is much more affordable than the HTC One E8.
There's a quad core 1.6 GHz processor and 1.5 GB of RAM, giving you some nice speeds, good responsiveness and excellent multi-tasking. There's a huge 5.5 inch display, making the 816 more of a phablet than a traditional phone. The front facing camera gets a large 5 MP resolution, whilst the rear facing camera gets 13 MP. And there's 8 GB of built in memory, with an SD card slot to take that all the way up to 128 GB.
As dual SIM phones become more popular we're going to be seeing dual SIM options become standard. But right now these are by far your best bets if you're looking to run two SIM cards on one phone.
