Hello! And welcome to The Cycling Chef, where eating and cycling are celebrated as two of life's simple pleasures (although not necessarily at the same time. Eating while cycling can lead to indigestion and accidents, neither of which I recommmend. Just saying). For me though, the two are inextricably linked. I like to pack some snacks, hop on my noble steed and go for a ride in my beautiful hometown of Victoria, BC, all while keeping an eye out for the ideal picnic spot. Or meander my way through tree-lined streets to the local farmer's market, a cidery or a fantastic restaurant.
This is my cat, Basil. I figured I should introduce him, as he will most likely end up in some posts. I have two bikes (one is in the shop right now) and the one pictured here is Pippa. She's a small-framed little lady with a great rack and enjoys long sojourns and dinner by candlelight.
It feels like everyone and their dog has a blog these days and I kinda hemmed and hawed a bit on making the decision to start one. What do I have to say that is so important? To be honest, I'm not sure I do! But I do know that I love food and I love to share food (and have food shared with me!). My relationship with food has been a tumultuous one. Born with severe food allergies, I was only able to eat yams and pineapple until the age of two. With the help of a specialist, I managed to reintroduce food over time, resulting in my ability to eat everything and anything. Life was sa-weet! Until I was 21, when I started to have some dietary issues. After many tests and elimination diets, it was determined that I suffer from Celiac Disease and cannot handle cow dairy very well. I had mixed feelings about this information. First, I was so happy to finally know what was wrong and how I could stop being in pain all the time and get back to being healthy. Second, I was a little bit crushed to know that I wouldn't be able to eat some of my favourite foods (Jarlsberg cheese on a fresh baguette from the Italian Bakery was about my favourite thing to eat. And ice cream. And any other kind of cheese. Chocolate croissants, almond croissants, Reese's Pieces, whipped cream and the focaccia at Pag's). But after a while, the cravings went away and I started to recreate my old favourites and create new ones. I had never been interested in cooking until that point in my life; I had always enjoyed baking because it was an exact science and I'm a little bit anal about taking directions. Sometimes things are a giant failure and other times, a resounding success. Throughout this journey, I have found myself following food blogs like Sprouted Kitchen, My New Roots, Oh She Glows and 101 Cookbooks. I appreciate the wealth of delicious recipes and information that blogs like these provide, not to mention the beautiful photographs. How lucky I feel, to be welcomed to the table of a virtual stranger. If I can provide a little help, a little inspiration and a little knowledge to someone else with food limitations, I'll consider myself honoured.
So after this long-winded introduction, I leave you not with a recipe, but with some pictures of a bike trip that my boyfriend I took in September. There was much eating and drinking, riding and resting. I promise that the next post will feature a delicious recipe. Cheers!
We loaded the bikes with the camping gear and headed off to Salt Spring Island for 4 days. It was glorious! Salt Spring Vineyards sits on the top of a hill (we found out there ain't nothin' but hills on Salt Spring) and they allow you full access to the vineyard. We enjoyed some of their wine and a brie-style goat cheese from here. The best thing about going up the hill to get there? The ride down afterwards!
Don't let those big brown eyes fool you. The deer had excellent taste and proceeded to eat half a loaf of gluten-free banana bread and an entire bag of homemade quinoa porridge mix. I'm still holding a grudge.
Goats at the Salt Spring Island Cheese Company. This place is so cool! The dairy is designed in such a way as to be an interactive self-tour. You walk around the outside of the building and get to learn about the different processes involved in cheese making. The whole place is designed with large windows for you to look in and there's a huge sampling table. Heaven! There was even goat gelato. As my friend Andy said, the great thing about riding hard is getting to eat with impunity. So we did!

I hope you all have a fun and spooky Halloween. Here are some of my favorite scary quotes in honour of the day . . . .
"Never walk near the bed; to a ghost your ankle is your most vulnerable part–once in bed, you're safe; he may lie around under the bed all night, but you're safe as daylight. If you still have doubts pull the blanket over your head." ~ This Side of Paradise by F. Scott Fitzgerald
All things pass. Only remain cosmic force and matter, ever in flux, ever acting and reacting and realizing the eternal types—the priest, the soldier, and the king. Out of the mouths of babes comes the wisdom of all the ages. Some will fight, some will rule, some will pray; and all the rest will toil and suffer sore while on their bleeding carcasses is reared again, and yet again, without end, the amazing beauty and surpassing wonder of the civilized state. ~ The Scarlet Plague by Jack London
'Tis now the very witching time of night,
When churchyards yawn, and hell itself breathes out
Contagion to this world. ~ Hamlet, Prince of Denmark by William Shakespeare
One disagreeable result of whispering is that it seems to evoke an atmosphere of silence, haunted by the ghosts of sound-strange cracks and tickings, the rustling of garments that have no substance in them, and the tread of dreadful feet that would leave no mark on the sea-sand or the winter snow. ~ Bleak House by Charles Dickens
It used to puzzle him that, after dark, someone would look in round the edge of the bedroom door, and withdraw again too rapidly for him to see the face. ~ The Other Wing by Algernon Blackwood

Student loans may be 'next debt bomb' for economy
Washington --
The federal student loan program seemed like a great idea back in 1965: Borrow to go to college now, pay it back later when you have a job.
But many borrowers these days are close to flunking out, tripped up by painful real-life lessons in math and economics.
Surging above $1 trillion, U.S. student loan debt has surpassed credit card and auto-loan debt. This debt explosion jeopardizes the fragile recovery, increases the burden on taxpayers and possibly sets the stage for a new economic crisis.
With a still-wobbly jobs market, these loans are increasingly hard to pay off. Unable to find work, many students have returned to school, further driving up their indebtedness.
Average student loan debt recently topped $25,000, up 25 percent in 10 years. And the mushrooming debt has direct implications for taxpayers because 8 in 10 of the loans are government-issued or guaranteed.
"This could very well be the next debt bomb for the U.S. economy," said William Brewer, president of the National Association of Consumer Bankruptcy Attorneys.
"As bankruptcy lawyers, we're the first to see the cracks in the foundation," Brewer said. "We were warning of mortgage problems in 2006 and 2007. The industry was saying we've got it under control. Nobody had it under control. Now we're seeing the same signs of distress. We're seeing huge defaults on student loans and people driven into financial difficulties because of them."
President Obama has offered a raft of proposals aimed at fine-tuning the system and making repayments easier. Yet the predicament of debt-burdened former students has failed to generate much notice in the GOP presidential campaign. Instead, the candidates are dismissive of government student loan programs in general and Obama's proposals in particular.
Obama has asked Congress to extend a temporary cut - due to expire in July - in federal student-loan rates. The reduced federal rate is now 3.4 percent. It the cuts aren't extended, it will rise to 6.8 percent.
Still, Obama said: "We can't just keep subsidizing skyrocketing tuition. We'll run out of money."

Uroflowmetry nomogram in Iranian children aged 7 to 14 years

As the voiding habits of Iranian children differs from other children because of some cultural and religious considerations, we aimed to establish normal reference values of urinary flow rates in Iranian children between 7 to 14 years of age.
Eight hundred and two uroflowmetry studies were performed on children with no history of a renal, urological, psychological or neurological disorder, between the ages 7 and 14. Five hundred twenty five studies from 192 girls and 335 boys were considered in this study excluding the staccato/interrupted voiding pattern or voided volume less than 20 ml. The voiding volume, the maximum and average urinary flow rates were extensively analyzed.
The maximal and average urine flow rate nomograms were plotted for both girls and boys. Mean maximum urine flow rate was 19.9 (ml/sec) for boys and 23.5 (ml/sec) for girls with a mean voided volume of 142 (ml) for boys and 147 (ml) for girls. Flow rates showed a close association with voiding volume in both sexes. The maximum and average flow rates were higher in girls than in boys, and they showed a significant increase in flow rates with increasing age, where boys did not. The mean maximum urine flow rates (19.9 ml/sec for boys and 23.5 ml/sec for girls) were found to be higher in this study than other studies.
Nomograms of maximal and average flow rates of girls and boys are presented in centile form, which can help the physician to evaluate the response to medical or surgical treatment and be useful for the screening of lower urinary tract disturbances in children, for a wide range of voided volumes.

Uroflowmetry is the most commonly used form of urodynamic testing. Simply stated, Uroflowmetry is the measurement of the rate of urine flow over time. It is easy to perform and it is a non-invasive test. Uroflowmetry alone is rarely able to determine the cause of a voiding dysfunction; however, it is extremely useful in selecting patients for more complex urodynamic testing [1]. It also provides an objective way of determining response to treatment of certain diseases [2]. Measured flow rates in children were first published by Kaufman [3] in 1957. He estimated normal flow rates at between 13 and 26 ml/sec with a lowest voiding volume of 100 ml.
Scott and Mcllhaney [4] measured maximum flow rate of 8–29 ml/sec at a voiding volume of over 100 ml. The lower limits of normal maximum and average urine flow rates are still unclear in both sexes. Recommended values for the lower limits of normal for the maximum urine flow rate in men range between 15 (ml/sec) [5] and 20 (ml/sec) [3]; in women, the values range between 12 [6] and 20 (ml/sec) [7].
Siroky et al. [8] constructed nomograms using data from a relatively small number of younger men. The nomogram of Jorgensen et al. [9] was restricted to older woman. All of the above mentioned nomograms were made for adults; one of the famous nomograms for children is Miskole's nomogram that was based on 433 micturitions. At maximum bladder fullness, the overall average flow rates in this study were 16 (ml/sec) in girls and 14 (ml/sec) in boys. The children were divided into three groups according to their body surface [10]. The aim of the present study was to establish the normal reference values in children of both sexes for maximum and average flow rates for a wide range of voiding volumes in Iran. Besides, there is no pediatric uroflowmetry nomogram for Iranian children and most uroflowmetry software use adult nomograms.
This cross-sectional study was performed from April 2000 to February 2001 among 7–14 years old children. The study was approved by the Institutional Board Review and the Medical Ethics Committee of Tehran University of Medical Sciences. The samplings were done in 15 different schools throughout the city of Tehran.
We had many discussion sessions for children's parents as well as their teachers and other school staff, explaining the program and its harmlessness for the children. Children who wanted to take part in the program voluntarily and their parents filled in an informed consent were entered in this study.
Participants (n = 802) were told by their teacher to come to school with a full bladder in the morning. The mictiograph consisted of an electronic transducer installed in a specific toilet, with the recording equipment in a separate place. Testing was performed in a completely private toilet, lockable from inside. A nurse, skilled in clinical pediatric urology, helped us with the sampling, especially in girls' schools. Children started voiding when the operator told them. All children voided at maximum sensation of bladder fullness. No positional restriction during testing was applied and children were told to void in their habitual positions rather than specifying them to sit or stand. Uroflowmetry was performed using a uroflowmeter model Micromedics System/H, Model no. DPU- 441, Type 1001H 1995, England.
Uroflowmetry was performed on 802 children with no history of renal, urological, psychological or neurological disorder, 275 of the studies were excluded from the study because their voided volumes were less than 20 ml [11] or their flow curves were not bell shape (staccato or interrupted). For each subject data regarding maximum flow rate (Q-max), average flow rate (Q-ave), voided volume (vv), time to maximum flow, flow time and voiding time, as well as age, sex, height and weight was recorded.
Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS software for Windows version 11(SPSS Inc., Chicago, IL). A P value of 0.05 or less was considered as statistically significant. Several transformations of data were assessed and the goodness-of-fit tested to determine whether a linear, hyperbolic, parabolic or logarithmic function best described the relation between the maximum or average flow rates and the voided volume [12]. The quintile regression method was used to establish the percentile levels (5, 10, 25, 50, 75, 90, and 95). For presentation, the nomograms have been expressed in centile form and prepared for boys and girls separately. Differences were assessed for significance using Student's t-test.
We included Uroflowmetry studies of 527 children, 335 boys (63.6%) and 192 girls (36.4%) 7 to 14 years old. The mean age was 10.44 ± 2.25 years for boys and 9.73 ± 2.17 for girls.
Minimum acceptable flow rates for boys and girls between 7 to 14 years old (according to uroflowmetry parameters of healthy children who voided 100 ml or more).
Maximum and average flow rates showed no significant increase with age in boys (Pearson's correlations: -0.11, P = 0.099 for Q-max and 0.09, P = 0.835 for Q-ave) but showed a statistically significant increase with age in girls (Pearson's correlations: 0.22 for Q-max, P = 0.001 and 0.27 for Q-ave, P = 0.002). So, in our study girls showed statistically significant increases in urine flow rates with age but boys did not. This increase was approximately 0.92 (ml/sec/year) for maximum urine flow rate and 0.51 (ml/sec/year) for average urine flow rate in girls between the ages 7 and 14.
- (a)
Square root (Q-max) = 2.05 + 0.2 × Square root (VV)
- (b)
Square root (Q-ave) = 1.36 + 0.12 × Square root (VV)
Root mean square error = 0.38 (H0: slope = 0, P < 0.001)
- (a)
Ln (Q-max) = 1.06 + 0.42 × Ln (VV)
- (b)
Square root (Q-ave) = - 0.67 + 0.74 × Ln(VV)
Root mean square error = 0.39 (H0: slope = 0, P < 0.001)
The equations for nomograms The fitted parameters (5, 10, 25, 50, 75, 90, 95 percentiles) for the nomograms of maximum and average flow rates against voided volume for boys and girls. The parameter values substitute into the general equation: Sqrt (Q-max or Q-ave) = A × log (Sqrt (vv)) + B for Boys Log (Q-max) = A × log (vv) + B for Girls Sqrt (Q-ave) = A × log (vv) + B for Girls
These nomograms were constructed to provide normal reference values in both sexes for urinary flow rate, covering a wide range of voided volumes and in centile form. Our nomogram is the only uroflowmetry nomogram for children in Iran. The use of nomograms avoids the dangers of referencing flow rates to any one voided volume. A maximum urine flow rate of 12 (ml/s) in men or 15 (ml/s) in women might fall just inside the fifth centile curve at 200 (ml) voided volume, although well outside the same curve at 400 (ml). The normality of these flow rates may then be interpreted quite differently at these 2 voiding volumes.
Siroky and colleagues were among the first to develop a nomogram that allowed uroflow to be corrected for voided volume. They also applied their nomogram to evaluation of men with bladder outlet obstruction. The authors stated that Q-max was a more sensitive indicator of outlet obstruction than Q-ave [8].
The Liverpool [13] nomogram was created from the micturitions of 331 normal adult men and 249 normal women. Men showed a significant decline in urinary flow rates with age, but women didn't show statistically significant variation in flow rates in this study. The authors believed that the voiding difficulties can be excluded in women by uroflowmetry, based on the 10th centile ranking that differentiates between women who are at low or high risk of having voiding dysfunction. Haylen and colleagues also believed that uroflowmetry could identify a subgroup of symptomatic men with high Q-max who are likely to have detrusor instability [13].
The use of statistical transformation by Gierup [14] and Jensen et al. [15] overcomes the problems created by inaccuracy when untransformed standard deviations were used. Churchill et al. [16] created nomograms for maximum urine flow rates for boys using regression analysis to fit functions to the data. Di Scipio [17] found only low correlations of age, height, weight and body surface area to average and maximum flow rates.
Abele and Krepler [18] reported that the flow rates of girls and boys were similar. Miskole [10] nomogram noted that the curves of 50% of the average and maximum flow rates were the same in both sexes when the voided volume was less than100 ml. But when the voided volume is more than 100 ml, the curves for the girls were higher. Gutierrez Segura's report [19] confirmed that the maximum and average flow increased with volume and age. Mean values were higher in girls than boys, and these differences were greater for maximum flow with larger volumes and older age except in the 12–14 year old group. He reported a normal flow pattern in 90% of healthy children, which is comparable to 87% Bell shape flow pattern in our study.
The mean maximum and average urine flow rates found higher in girls than in boys. This is interpretable by the girl's shorter urethra. The mean maximum urine flow rates (19.9 ml/sec for boys and 23.5 ml/sec for girls) were found to be lower in this study than those reported in western studies (Miskole [10]: Mean maximum urine flow rate 14 ml/sec for boys and 16 ml/sec for girls). This may be explained to some extent by the fact that because of religious considerations children have very early toilet training and parents force them to void every 1–2 hours in the toilet-training period to avoid wetting. These may cause a learned early sensation to void resulting in full sensation at lower bladder volumes. Low voided volume in healthy children is also confirmed in both sexes during 3 days voiding diary in this country (unpublished data).
Nomograms in centile form are very useful for diagnosing urinary flow disturbances over a wide range of voided volumes. The present study provides reference values of maximal and average flow rates of normal boys and girls. Uroflowmetry is become a screening test for urinary problems in children.
The authors thank Dr. Nouri from Department of Biostatistics for statistical analysis of this project and Mr. Ahmad Reza Joneidi for designing the nomograms. We also wish to thank Mr. Behrad Kajbafzadeh for his timely review of the manuscript.

The Business Genius of the Week story award goes to an NYT piece about Sam Zell. Actually Sam Zell looks like he dumped all 573 of his business properties just in time. But the buyers - classic suckers with very big paychecks and the very best credentials. Crucial moments:
- the middleman who bought the buildings from Zell and then flipped most of them to the suckers was hedge fund Blackstone and its King Genius Steven Schwarzman (who still has his money btw).
- "Buyers purchased buildings at what, in retrospect, were vastly inflated prices."
- "Lenders provided lavish, even excessive, financing based on unrealistic expectations of rising rents."
- "And now that values are tumbling, vacancy rates are rising and credit has become impossibly tight, many on both sides are struggling against default, foreclosure or bankruptcy."
But the gods were stupid:
- "The list of Equity Office buyers reads like a Who's Who in American real estate. In Stamford, Conn., RFR Properties, a partnership headed by Michael Fuchs and Aby Rosen, who owns Manhattan landmarks like Lever House and the Seagram Building, spent $850 million to buy seven Equity Office buildings that analysts say are now worth less than their mortgages."
- "The buyers found lenders only too willing to finance as much as 90 percent or more of the purchase price, even as profit margins shrank, on a bet that rents and values would continue to rise. The investment banks, including Morgan Stanley, Wachovia, Goldman Sachs, Bear Stearns and Lehman Brothers, in turn collected their fees as they packaged the loans as securities and sold them to investors."
Plus, they were collecting big fees by not using any of their own money.
- "In New York, Mr. Macklowe made a characteristically aggressive gamble when he bought seven Midtown buildings from Blackstone for more than $6 billion, doubling the size of his real estate empire. He put down a mere $50 million, while lining up $7 billion in short-term financing from Deutsche Bank and the Fortress Investment Group for the acquisition."
And then, enter the rest of us:
- "If the owners cannot make their loan payments, it could create a financial crisis for the pension funds, hedge funds and insurance companies that hold securities based on Equity Office mortgages."
- "In Austin, when the Thomas Properties Group formed a partnership with the California teachers' pension fund and Lehman Brothers, which was also a lender in the deal, to buy 10 Equity Office buildings downtown and in the surrounding suburbs for $1.15 billion, it instantly became the biggest commercial landlord in town. Like many of the other deals, it was highly leveraged and dependent on rising rents. The problem is that rents are now declining in Austin, particularly in suburban areas, where vacancy rates have climbed to 14.4 percent as several new buildings are coming on line without tenants."

PUNE: Most burglaries reported in the city over the last few months have been attributed to poor security in residential complexes. While most housing projects have private security agencies in place providing round-the-clock vigil, burglars have clearly taken advantage of the laxity of security guards and also their poor visibility.
Take for instance the break-ins in 16 locked flats last month in Wakad, when the burglars gained entry into three residential societies despite the presence of security guards. In other cases too, the police pointed out how the agencies neither followed a security drill nor were their guards properly trained.
Sources from security agencies said that guards deployed at residential apartments lack on-the-job training. "Security in housing complexes needs to be upgraded. Present security guards are not well-trained. They do not have even basic security equipment like a baton and are not aware of basic training on how to react in challenging situations like theft or fire," an official from one agency saidsaid.
He further said that guards appointed for security are generally in the 20-45 age group. "However, it is observed that security guards at residential complexes are either very young or are senior citizens. Societies need to avoid this."
On their part, agencies providing security to housing societies and residential apartments said that they would now initiate steps to sensitize on-duty guards to increase vigil to prevent entry of unidentified persons. Agencies, however, said that societies too need to install latest security equipment such as CCTV cameras in the premises and also at parking and entry-exit gates.
"We will ask guards to make sure that every visitor makes an entry into the log book placed at the entry-exit gate before entering the society. We will also try to make sure that the guard would guide visitors to the building to avoid any confusion. For this, we will place guards not only at the entrance but also at every wing. Such steps would restrict entry of unidentified persons to some extent," a field officer of a security agency said.
Another officer of a security agency said, "We get a six monthly feedback from guards. We discuss issues and problems they face and try to work out solutions. Guards often express the need for a good communication with society members particularly in security matters."
Security in housing complexes needs to be upgraded. The existing security guards are not well-trained. They do not have even basic security equipment like a baton and are not aware of basic training on how to react in challenging situations like theft or fire

Now my friend is named someone else and has someone elses phone number to boot. 2. I selected youtube for a widget and can't dump it! One click or even a hover and a drag towards the bottom should delete it according to the simulator. Ha! Try that with MY droid! I also can't drag it to another screen. It OPENS to youtube whenever I get close to it. 3. Hovering, not even touching, just hovering, will hit a keyboard letter. How do I change the sensitivity???

866. Russia and Donald Trump Are Working Together
In the Nicene Creed, the Christians says that God is Trinitarian because Jesus is both God and man. This is wrong. And, the Jews say that God rests because the universe had a beginning and has an end. The Jews also say that Albert Einstein proves that our universe ends. But, Einstein's theory of time and space have not been proven.
Lawyers are now saying that Donald Trump's call to block all Muslims from entering the USA is unconditional. But these lawyers do not realize that the Declaration of Independence(DOI) and the Constitution have laws. Apparently, the U.S. Congress and many Americans are ignorant of the current laws of the DOI and that the new laws can be made in the DOI in order to make a more perfect union that never ends. Clearly, the U.S. Congress, the U.S. President, and the U.S. Supreme Court must be corrected.
My books about God and the Universe are in agreement with the work of Gottfried Leibniz:
1. The First Scientific Proof of God (2006), 271 pages, (click)
2. A New and Modern Holy Bible (2012), 189 pages.
3. God And His Coexistent Relations To The Universe. (2014), 429 pages.

I found these pictures that I (apparently) completely forgot about from a while ago and thought I would pop 'em into a blog post! I apologize for the not-so-great photography!
This is the Heart Breaker palette from Sugarpill! I cannot tell you how long I had wanted to get my hands on a bunch of Sugarpill products. This palette was the first of many (spoiler alert: I have two more palettes and a loose shadow already)!
The Heart Breaker palette contains four full size eyeshadows (3.5g each) and it retails for $34.00. The packaging is adorable, by the way, and made out of a sturdy cardboard. Opposite the shadows is a mirror that takes up most of the top side of the inside.
The shadows according to Sugarpill.com are:
Acidberry (top left): Matte lime green with a slight pearl sheen
Velocity (top right): Vibrant matte royal blue
2AM (bottom left): Matte purple with a slight pearl sheen
Mochi (bottom right): Matte mint seafoam
|Left to Right: Acidberry, Velocity, 2AM, Mochi
|Left to Right: Acidberry, Velocity, 2AM, Mochi
Sorry about the picture quality/focus/everything. These photos were from when I first got my Canon and before I started swatching close-up. (BTW, do you like this swatch format better or should I keep the close up view?)
All of the pictures were taken in direct sunlight and the eyeshadows were swatched dry on bare skin (no base or primer) with a finger. I was really light-handed when it came to swatching these. The colors really pack a punch when they are applied over a primer or base! I would for sure recommend checking the Heart Breaker palette out. Come on, look at those colors! If you don't feel like buying a whole palette, Sugarpill also offers their pressed shadows individually for $12.00 each!
Do you have any of these Sugarpill shadows? Whatcha think?

During Christmastime, Piazza Navona in downtown Rome is transformed into a Christmas carnival with a carousel, amusement park games, street performers, crafts for sale, the most candy and tacky toys you've ever seen in your life, and little witches hanging on the corner of all the booths. When I first saw this, I was certainly perplexed. What was up with all of these witches? The witch's name is Befana, and she brings Italian Children presents on January 6th. How, in such a Catholic country, is there a tradition that a witch brings presents?
Well, of course, there's a story behind it - and it does link back to Christmas (kind of). Here's the version I heard. There are variations, and I'm not sure which is the "right" one.
The three kings were on their way to visit the baby Jesus by way of Italy, and they needed a place to stay. The witch, being a witch, refused to let them stay in her home when they asked, so they went on and kept looking. Afterwards, the witch felt really bad for being so mean, so ever since then she has given children presents on the day the kings arrived to visit Jesus to try to make up for her mean behavior. Interesting, isn't it?

Interesting solution to the distraction problem. I've been thinking about this quite a bit recently. Mainly because I've spent virtually every spare moment of my time for the past week killing aliens. On the PC. Thought I should clarify that.ReplyDelete

I didn't know these existed either. Great blog. Great gizmo.ReplyDelete
If you really want to complete the retro look, see if you can get a wood-and-brass cover for it, and wear your brass goggles when you use it. ;)ReplyDelete
Sounds cool; good for you finding a solution. I would have trouble with the screen, I think. Not only am I easily distracted by the Internet, but I'm also easily distracted by the interface through which I write. I'm used to a white background, Times New Roman, and the MS Word look. Whenever I've tried changing that, I haven't been able to zone into the writing. Even just changing the font to Ariel seems to have that affect.ReplyDelete
I'm still convinced I can keep myself off the Internet when I need to. Eventually.
Anton -- LMAO! Well at least we know the real aliens among us are still safe. ;)ReplyDelete
Dusanka -- I hope to be able to spread the gospel even more once I get a chance to play with it. Think I might get one for the kids to use as well if it's a big hit.
Ian -- hahaha! Brass goggles would rule.
Sherri -- I finally have recognized once I started working again and that I was writing more productively at work without access to the www than I was at home. lol The internet is definitely a problem. Maybe not the only problem, but definitely the biggest one. I think my initial years of copious blogging and text messaging and longhand writing have pretty much confirmed for me that it doesn't really matter to me what format I end up writing in, as long as I'm typing. I am a wee bit concerned about the lighting for this screen as the model I chose doesn't have a backlight. I might have to purchase a small booklight to carry in the case with it in case I go to the library and find that it might not quite be bright enough in there. But I just love the idea of throwing it in my backpack and going without really having to worry about battery power, weight, etc.

After a recent brief exchange with Elle Fashion Editor at Large Lori Goldstein I finally admitted that I had to come to terms with my fears about the up coming "Punk" fashion exhibit at New York City's Metropolitan Museum of Art. The spring 2013 exhibition organized by The Costume Institute of The Metropolitan Museum of Art is called, PUNK: Chaos to Couture. The exhibition, which runs from May 9 through August 14, 2013 will, "examine punk's impact on high fashion from the movement's birth in the 1970s through its continuing influence today."
To read the description of the approach to, and execution of the exhibit it sounds as if they might get at least some of it right. There seems to be a solid understanding of the DIY core of Punk fashion. The exhibit wisely has chosen to focus on both the fashion forged from the feelings that drive the Punk movement and the designers that have been "inspired" by those styles then and now. Now it goes without saying that not a single person who is involved with the exhibit is a Punk, was a Punk, listens to any Punk, or most importantly has ever been poor and hungry for one day in their whole life. This is the core of the disconnect and a source of a divide that I don't know can be overcome. Fashion is about rich people and Punk is about poor people. Punk is, (I do not say was because although dormant I believe the spirit of punk is about to make a huge comeback and contribution), about raw unedited expression that is neither informed nor deterred by convention or conventional thinking. It is very much an anti-everything as it is philosophy. If the best reason a culture could come up with is, "It's just not how it's done", then it's what Punk does. As Joe Strummer once explained, "Punk rock is meant to be our freedom. We're meant to be able to do what we want to do."
The other cornerstone of Punk and one I dearly loved was it's fist raising, and sometimes using, top of the lungs screaming that things are not okay. There are many accepted pillars of the way we conduct ourselves and teach our children that are wrong and we know they're wrong because they keep biting us in the ass. Punk was at it's best the confrontational addictions counselor who has that magical ability to call you on your crap in a way that you can't deny that it's crap. To me it is proof positive that society must always have a robust and vocal fringe that simply isn't interested in attaining status and the trophies that go along with it but would rather devote blood & sweat to pointing out how damaging the pursuit of that is. That brings me back to fashion as it exists today and the fact that the industry is about to "honor" the influence of Punk with the Met exhibit. One of the root causes with all that is ugly about fashion today is that money and connections rather than talent and vision is what gets the industry behind a designer today. If the CFDA and the powers that be really want to celebrate Punk what they will do is give several hundred thousand dollars to two or three designers who have shown enormous talent and the ability to stay in business for a few seasons despite the fact they have no money. That would be a very Punk thing to do. In a way though the Met is perhaps the perfect place to talk about Punk fashion because even though it is an institution that represents and is infected with wealth, status, and elitist power it only has a "recommended" admission price, which is also a very Punk thing to do.

Chapters 26-27 Summary
Skip McMahon reports to the Turnquist crime scene and summons General Heaney and Dr. Kennedy to join him there. Again, McMahon is impressed by the killers' efficiency. He notes that none of the dead marshals ever reached for their gun, indicating that they were each caught by surprise. Turnquist's body reveals the largest number of gunshot wounds, making it clear that he was the main target. After viewing the bodies, General Heaney and Dr. Kennedy believe more than ever that the assassins are military commandos trained to do exactly what they have just done.

OUTsurance Holdings Limited on 2 October 2017, launched an innovative retail investment service to complement its suite of direct to consumer short-term and life insurance products.
"In a country with a low savings rate, a large advice gap and expensive investment products, we want to help consumers easily and cheaply save and invest," explains Willem Roos, OUTsurance Group Chief Executive Officer.
The new service, OUTvest, offers goal based advice and passive investment solutions via a website and an app combining sophisticated technology and financial advisors based in a call centre.
The service's key points of difference include its intuitive do-it-yourself digital front end, low fees and intelligent goal-based calculators – which will help investors understand how much to save to achieve their goals. Clients benefit from both algorithmic passive investment strategies and professional human advice.
"Just like OUTsurance turned insurance on its head, we're aiming to do the same with investing. We're living in a digital age where people are more comfortable using smart websites and apps to make decisions previously only entrusted to a face-to-face advisor. OUTvest makes investing simpler, smarter and more affordable with the consumer at the centre," comments Roos.
"We are first to offer Crowdvest, a social version of investing. We've made it easy to invite friends and family to collectively invest towards making a meaningful financial goal become reality. For instance, grandparents will easily be able to contribute towards a tertiary education savings goal for grandchildren or friends will be able to collectively save towards a trip or sports tour, and invite others to support them," says Grant Locke, OUTvest Head.
The OUTvest user interface has been developed to be as intuitive and easy-to-use as possible. Whether through the app or website, clients can add or withdraw funds, stop, start or change contributions at any time at no cost and with no penalties. Clients will also be able to completely comply with usually frustrating FICA requirements speedily via the app or website. The client dashboard will offer a summary of a client's complete OUTvest landscape and how well they are tracking against their individual goals. Fees are competitive and extremely transparent and investments start from ZAR100 per month.
Investment funds
OUTvest has partnered with CoreShares, an index tracking passive fund manager, which has registered four advanced and cost effective unit trusts to cater for the different levels of risk and investment horizons of OUTvest clients.
"South Africans need to save a lot more but they just don't know where to start, how much to start with, who to choose, or what fees they will end up paying to the asset manager and advisor. OUTvest bridges these gaps by creating access to high quality and excellent value for money investment solutions. Everyone who has a goal worth saving for, no matter how big or small, could be an OUTvestor," concluded Locke.

Closure of provincial courts another blow to rural Nova Scotia
April 13, 2015
(Shelburne, NS) NDP MLA Sterling Belliveau says the closure of satellite courts in seven communities is another blow to rural Nova Scotia. He says it's clear that encouraging rural outmigration has become an official policy of the McNeil government.
The McNeil government's second budget released last week includes the closure of satellite courts in Barrington, Comeauville, Liverpool, Lunenburg, Port Hood, Guysborough and Baddeck.
"Hardly a day goes by when the McNeil government doesn't announce it is cutting a job in a Nova Scotia town," says Belliveau. "First it closed community services offices, then it laid off provincial park workers, then it closed visitor information centres and now it is closing provincial courts. The elimination of these services and jobs is making it more and more difficult for people to stay in rural communities."
He adds, "The worst part is the combined savings of all these cuts is tiny when compared the impact they have on families and seniors."

Horribly Offensive--Not for Whiney Babies!
J. Dirig | Indiana, USA | 09/03/2004
(4 out of 5 stars)
"I saw this movie at its US premiere at the Chicago Underground Film Festival years ago. It's downright Offensive! Lovers of Troma movies will thrill to this one! Read the other reviews for details. I'm just going to tell you that this is NOT A DATE MOVIE.
Naturally, I loved it!"
PSYCHOTRONIC and TOUCHING !!
Tom Goryssimo | Skies above, Heaven FR | 09/23/2004
(5 out of 5 stars)
"Allright, that movie is insane,violent and extremly shocking. Now that being said, i also want to point the fact that it's way more than that. It's also a sincere tribute to real people : so called ugly people , poor people, lonely people and hard working people. It's like a cross between the crazyest of TROMA and a genuine social commentary. Check this movie out and it will disgust you, it will make you laugh but on top of it all, it will make you think."
A Demented Masterpiece
Schmaltz | usa | 09/16/2004
(5 out of 5 stars)
"A homage to the workingman disguised as an exercise in sickness and depravity. Filled with biting humor and priceless genuine characters. I've seen my share of no budget gross out flicks and they all sucked. Bride of Frank is proof that a talented person can produce something riveting with a camera, a few locations, and a troupe of 'common people'. Although technically very rough, the movie is more creatively photographed than a lot of other higher-budgeted fare. There are other flaws, but not worth mentioning. This is a must-see.
Bride Of Frank
HypnoDude | 07/02/2004
(5 out of 5 stars)
"The Story: The tale of one man's search for love and his trials and tribulations along the way, kind of.Frank is a bum. He gets taken in by trucking business workers who adopt him like some strange pet. They give him a job, a cot in the back, and even throw him a birthday party with a cake in the shape of two large breast. Oh, did I mention, Frank LOVES breasts?The guys put an ad in the paper for him in hopes of finding him the perfect bride. What follows are several hilarious scenes of violence and depravity. And when Frank says something he means it. He tells one guy he's going to rip off his head and shit down his neck, and he does, in a scene so repulsively side-splitting that you won't know whether to puke or dab your tears of laughter with a hankie.Bride of Frank is one of those extremely rare movies that can simultaneously offend you drastically while making you laugh uncontrollably. In the first two minutes alone, Frank picks up a young girl (played, incidentally, by the director's niece), beats her to death with a stick, and runs her head over with a truck.(...).Don Balde picked his star when he met him on the street a couple years before the film. I don't know who this guy is, or where he came from, but he's an ugly sumbitch and is nearly unintelligible: all his dialogue is sub-titled.Shot in and around Newark, NJ, Bride of Frank is one of the most offensive, repulsive, violent, sexist, and straight up hilarious movies you're ever likely to see. Don Balde has said that he set out to make a movie which would offend everyone. He succeeds spectacularly. Bride of Frank is the quintessential "so-bad-it's-good" movie.If you're looking to break up with your girl friend for any reason and want to get the job done right, take the time it will take to hunt this movie down and pop it into the VCR instead of the latest Gwyneth Paltrow drama-fest and have her watch it with you. Rest assured, you'll be single again long before final fade out."

Jolie Joins Council on Foreign Relations
UN Goodwill Ambassador Angelina Jolie has joined forces with foreign policy organization Council on Foreign Relations, reports People.
Other members include: presidents Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter, ABC's Diane Sawyer, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and journalist Tom Brokaw.
Vice president of communications at CFR Lisa Shields said, "Angelina Jolie is accomplished in her field and has demonstrated serious interest in issues such as Darfur, international education and refugees. As such, her profile fits very well with other young professionals we've selected as the next generation of foreign policy leaders."
Jolie recently told Esquire in their June issue: "When I die, do I want to be remembered as an actress? No. I recently had a column published in a newspaper and at the end it didn't say I was an actress. It said that I was a UN Goodwill Ambassador – that's all. And I was really proud."

Did you know that there are approximately 35 pages in the Book of Mathew, 22 pages in the Book of Mark, 37 pages in the Book of John and 28 pages in the Book of Luke [1]? All in all, approximately 122 pages which is less than the size of paperback novels these days. I don't know about you, but it takes me about half a day to sit down and read the average paperback novel, and I do this once or twice a month.

Swans impressed from the starting whistle scoring some exceptional team and individual tries, with some of the support play and offloading outstanding. However, as pleasing as all the scores was Swans defence in the early exchanges when Swans kept Bridport out despite the opposiition throwing everything at them over a sustained period.
The whole squad rotated throughout the match and the U16s again impressed stepping up to the Colts age group. Bridport tackled hard throughout but struggled to cope with the Swans pace out wide.
This afternoon, clear evidence could easily be seen that the good numbers at training together with the return of several players to the squad is paying off. If availabilities and the impressive numbers at training continues Swans can look forward to the remainder of the season with great optimism.
Well done to the whole squad.

This is one of 10 money-saving tips. If you've been banking phosphorus (P) and potassium (K) levels, now is the time to make a withdrawal and reduce P and K rates, says Nate Franzen, president, agribusiness division, First Dakota National Bank, Yankton, S.D. "People have been pouring it on to the max in past years," he notes. Before you go to the other extreme, Mike Boehlje, ag economist at Purdue University adds, keep in mind that cutting too deep on crucial inputs can actually drive costs higher. "I'm not saying to cut back and cause a productivity reduction, nor cut back on total nitrogen that has to be replenished each year," he notes. Nitrogen is another input that farmers can examine closely, particularly in light of variable-rate application opportunities. Farm Journal Field Agronomist Ken Ferrie has explained how nitrogen rate, plant population and other factors are interconnected. In addition to spring fertilizer, VRT can also be beneficial in the fall when it is paired with proper soil sampling by zones, notes George Rehm, soil scientist, University of Minnesota Extension. Thankfully, the outlook calls for substantially lower prices on all nutrient inputs this spring. .......................................... Keep Your Production Costs in Check for 2014 With grain prices dropping, it's time to get creative. There is no one-size-fits-all-farmers answer, but there are numerous ways to more closely align costs with returns. Here are the money-saving tips we've gathered. Back to news

Last week, Nova Scotia Liberal MLA Dave Wilson appeared at a news conference along with an ER physician claiming that the emergency room system in Nova Scotia is in crisis. According to Wilson, the Liberal Health Critic,
"In 2006, ERs in Nova Scotia were closed for over 3,700 hours – that's 154 days. That is almost 1,600 more hours than the year before," he says. "In fact, since 2001 ERs in this province have been closed for a total of almost two years. That is unacceptable."
Wow, that does sound excessive. Is the system failing Nova Scotians?
Wait, that's really the point, isn't it – IS the system failing us?
The trouble with this particular iteration of monster-shouting is that the information presented lacks any sort of context to prove that this is, in fact, a particularly dangerous or even unusual state of affairs.
Has anyone died or suffered debilitating disease due to a lack of ER services? Has anyone been turned away because the ERs were closed? There is no indication either way according to the information we are presented with. Is the solution to this problematic condition to keep all emergency rooms open 24-7?
I needn't tell anyone with a modicum of fiscal intelligence how impractical that idea is. Smaller communities, while needing some degree of emergency response and treatment facilities, lack the population density to have the type of constant demand that exists in larger centres. I, for one, don't think the Liberal critic would be any happier if these small-town ERs were staffed constantly, because it would be an obvious waste of money, and without any indication of how the situation is negatively affecting the citizens of the province, it would be completely irresponsible in many other ways, as well.
While I agree that there needs to be much more encouragement for medical students to enter into emergency medicine (a stressful specialty, to be sure), and for our local med school graduates to remain in the province, without the evidence of harm or even actual need, this 'crisis' is constructed from nothing but fear.
The press conference was clearly designed to elicit the anxiety of the public, and serves no one's interests except those of the Liberal party. I'm not equipped to dispute the information presented, but if you're going to convince me that this is nothing more than cynical exploitation of the fears of the elderly and the infirm, you'll need to show me some proof.
That goes for any of these types of assertions – can you prove to me that beds that are closed in small hospitals are actually needed, or are you playing on the fears of older citizens, who will then ask themselves, "But what if they are needed?" You can't govern or budget according to what if's. As my boss says, "What if a Martian lands and asks for something?" It's an illustration of how absurd the 'what-if's can get.
The way I see it, the political script goes like this:
1) create anxiety where there is none
2) exploit the anxiety for political gain
3) get elected
4) continue making decisions or investments in the same way
5) repeat as necessary
This type of blatant politicking, if you'll pardon the expression, makes me ill. Wow, lucky I don't live in a rural area, isn't it?
Stirring base emotions is not solving problems or shedding light on truth, it's pure politics, which, quite frankly, our health care system could use a little less of. Show us proof, Mr. Wilson, or shut up.

Milito Inspires Inter Victory, AC Milan Slips by BolognaSeptember 20, 2009
A two-goal blitz from striker Diego Milito gave Serie A champions Inter Milan an unconvincing 2-1 win at Cagliari on Sunday, while AC Milan also struggled to beat Bologna 1-0.
Inter fell behind on Jeda's first-half penalty after Maicon had been adjudged to push over Alessandro Matri in the box.
Coach Jose Mourinho, who was later sent to the stands for arguing with officials, brought on forward Mario Balotelli at the break to change shape, and the move paid dividends just as it had in the previous weekend's 2-0 win over Parma.
Good pressure by Samuel Eto'o forced the home defence to give the ball away and Argentina's Milito ran through to score on 51 minutes before dinking in a second goal five minutes later following a long ball over the top.
Milito, who signed for Inter in the transfer window following a successful spell last season at Genoa, took his tally to an impressive 28 goals in 35 Serie A appearances.
Inter, who drew 0-0 with holders Barcelona in the Champions League on Wednesday, are third in the table on 10 points.
Leaders Juventus made it four wins from four in Saturday's 2-0 victory over Livorno and Sampdoria joined them at the top after securing maximum points from the first four games of the season for the first time, finishing with a 4-1 thrashing of Siena.
Clarence Seedorf, playing in place of flu victim Ronaldinho, netted a classy goal in the second half to hand Milan victory, but visitors Bologna had chances to snatch a draw at the end.
Seedorf won the ball on the edge of his own box and, despite Bologna appeals for a foul, he laid the ball off to Massimo Ambrosini and charged up field.
Ambrosini found the Dutchman with an intelligent pass and Seedorf cut through a weak defence to score from close range.
Substitute Filippo Inzaghi, who replaced the ineffective Klaas Jan Huntelaar, hit the post late on but the Rossoneri remain a work in progress after an inconsistent start to the season.
Genoa, who like city rivals Samp were going for a fourth straight win, lost its 100 percent record in a 3-1 defeat at Chievo.
Julio Cruz grabbed a 1-1 draw for Lazio at Catania while promoted Parma beat coach Francesco Guidolin's former side Palermo 1-0, and Atalanta stayed bottom with no points after a 4-1 loss at Bari. AS Roma host Fiorentina later (1845 GMT).

Hailo has announced new business-focused features for its taxi-hailing smartphone app, including the ability to book taxis on behalf of clients and pay for a taxi even if the app was not used to hail it.
A useful tool for business users, Hailo Hub, lets users book a Hailo taxi on behalf of someone else - ideal for when a company wants to book a taxi for some of its clients.
With Hailo for Business, users can quickly swap between their personal and work credit cards in the Hailo app; the company claims its business service is "often cheaper" than minicabs, due to applying no extra charges to the metered fair.
"We're not ripping up the rulebook, we're setting fire to it," the company claimed.
Thanks to GPS, the client is notified in real-time by SMS when their cab has arrived, while multiple pick-up and drop-off points can be assigned to each order.
Payments to become invisible
Debuted in Dublin last month, another feature new to London users from this week is Pay with Hailo, a system that lets passengers pay using the Hailo app, no matter how they ordered the cab. So if they flagged it down in the conventional way, if the driver is registered with Hailo, the passenger can opt to pay using the app.
Using Apple's iBeacon technology, the app notifies you when you enter a Hailo-partnered taxi.
"We see payments retreating into the background and becoming completely invisible," the company said.
Hailo also announced it is now available in Leeds, Liverpool and Singapore, a city where the company says car ownership is becoming a thing of the past and how this will be a huge benefit to itself and other such taxi services.
Both the passenger and driver apps have been completely rebuilt over the last year, with the newest build of the passenger app launching on Thursday 23 October.
Company co-founder and former London cab driver Russ Hall said: "Hailo cabs are occupied 60% of time compared with just 35% in the pre-Hailo days."
Hailo has served 20 million passengers in the three years since in was launched on 1 November 2011. Its drivers have helped to return 4,000 lost items and they have driven passengers round the M25 170,000 times, the equivalent of going to the moon and back 84 times.

Big Grin Memorial Ride
Joel Dyke died two years ago, and right off the bat we started having these memorial rides in his memory. In the winter, both because Joel loved winter riding and because he pulled a dick move and died on December 27. Well, dying in December wasn't really the offensive part, it was dying so young with so many people attached to and counting on him. He left behind an awesome wife and two (well, Lydia was still in the oven) kiddos.
Last year, the ride was like five degrees. We still had I think upwards of fifty riders. Lots of layers, a few Carharts, but people rode.
This year's ride was supposed to be a couple weeks earlier than it ended up happening. There was an ice storm warning and between Michelle and the Trek Store (his widow and his last employer) it was decided not to goad people into harm's way. The ice didn't end up materializing but it's fair, only a few of us have steel studded snow tires.
So the reschedule was on a relatively balmy day, above freezing by the end. It was also up against Street Cred is Dead, an alleycat which definitely drew more than zero of the Big Grin riders.
But a good time was had by all. Some of the people who showed were doing Street Cred too, they just peeled off early.
It's such a fun group of people. I really love them all, and before I met Corinna and then by default this whole sick crew, I didn't know anyone who would ride bikes when it was this cold. Let alone as cold as it was last year.
And this children, so beautiful, so sweet. Thorvall Stonecrusher III and Lydia, they're going to make a mark. Jofess' name was supposed to be Thorvall Stonecrusher III according to Joel, who cruelly changed his name to a conventional one after getting everyone (me anyway) to believe his kid was really going to have to deal with a Boy Named Sue world.
But anyway, we all had fun, we ate vegetarian chili, beers were consumed in quantity, and I got a few snaps of the guilty, beautiful parties involved.
And I got some good photos of the kiddos. Michelle is super camera-aware, thinks she's not photogenic. She's plenty photogenic, but when someone objects to being photographed and is really aware when a camera is raised, they flinch. And nobody takes a good picture while flinching.
Except I"ve done it. I've taken good pictures of Michelle, and I might not be much of a photographer compared to some people I know, but good pictures of someone who tries not to be photographed, that's a pretty sound trophy.
And of course I got some of my other friends who are really fun to shoot too.
Like Ricky Fitts said in American Beauty, sometimes there's so much beauty in the world...

Monkey Mind
During the meditation portion of my transpersonal psychology class last semester, I heard a peculiar term – "monkey mind." Monkey mind refers to how the mind seems to always be in motion and has trouble slowing down. Our thoughts are going a mile a minute and we have trouble controlling them.
During meditation, I found that when my body was quite, my mind wanted to break the nothingness and take over. My mind was telling me about all the things I needed to do, thoughts of friends, my schoolwork that I should look over, etc. And of course, once monkey mind started and I tried to quite my mind, more thoughts would surface. It caused me more mental pain to try to stop the thoughts then if I just watched them. I was to learn that that was exactly what I was supposed to do. Watch them and let them go.
I have been thinking about this in the context of being a religious seeker. Maybe one of the reasons I have trouble with identifying myself with a certain religion is because my thought process gets in the way. I find that most religions have similar values and ethics even if they have different interpretations of them. I have trouble with letting myself say that I am (fill-in-the-blank) because then I start listing through the things that each religion has in common or sometimes even the things that I don't believe within the religion. I end up feeling that if I don't believe everything, then I must not be a part of that religion.
I have been thinking about what it takes to declare oneself as Pagan/Christian/Jewish/etc. When I wrote about conversion last week, Cosette mentioned that most Pagans say that they "found, discovered, or learned" their religion. That made me wonder if most people consider themselves part of a religion through intuition or if it is a conscious choice that they make through the study of the religion. Could it really be as easy as saying "That's what I am!"?
My monkey mind brings so many questions to the surface that it is no wonder that I have trouble calling myself anything but a seeker. Maybe I have to find a new way to approach this aspect of my life. Maybe it is okay to have doubts about certain aspects of a religion and still be considered a part of it. And then again, maybe I just have to learn to watch my monkey mind thoughts and let them go.
