Researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute for Computer Graphics Research IGD have developed CultLab3D: a 3D scanning system that can create digital images of 3D objects. The project aim is to provide mass digitization, annotation and storage of historical artifacts for museums and other places of preservation. Quotes and notes from the article:
- "Digital preservation is one of the most important methods of sustaining our cultural history."
- digital preservation makes it possible to created and maintain scans of written texts
- "Digital preservation of texts is one thing, but the preservation of physical artifacts is quite another."
- while there is no real substitute for an authentic historical artifact, something should be done to preserve historical artifacts

One of my favorite stores, Rapsodia, was started in August 1999 by Sol Acuna, Josefina Helguera and Francisco De Narvaez. They reflect styles like bohemian, romantic and rock & roll, inspired by the lovely fabric and prints of India. Now Rapsodia takes inspiration from different cultures of the world and gives us the most beautiful clothes for women of every age.
I can't resist entering the store everytime and today i decided to share this with you all. The sequined skirt is actually divided, which makes it comfortable and gives me the freedom to jump around without worrying about the strong winds of my city. Haha! If you are in Buenos Aires this store is a must go. Xo

I always wondered when our Shalwar style pants would make it to the runway of Internation Fashion Weeks. Well the time is here.
"Harem pants" (or Sultan pants) as they call them are finally sneaking their way into the Western world. They were big in New York Fashion Week. Supposedly the trend was first started (or brought to the west) by a French Editor. And now all the top designers are including the style in their collections.
I think the next 10 years in International fashion will be more about concealing and showing less and less skin.
I won't be surprised if the Dupatta on the head or a hijab like scarf is the next big trend.
Below are some photos.

A few days after our Thanksgiving gathering and exposure to sickness my youngest son looked like this:
A few more days and he looked like this:
and after a couple weeks of misery that included goopey eyes that itched and burned,
his eyes look like this:
and just days before Christmas,
his cough finally relented and he looked like this:
I'm so happy to be on the other side of this battle. I nourished and supported his little body and environment in every way that I knew how. To see him still become so ill was really hard–especially because I work hard to nourish him and keep him healthy. I tried to see it as a positive, as an opportunity for his developing immune system to go to battle and come out stronger as a result. I told him to tell his body to fight and stay strong at heart.
To add to this, my husband also became very sick. Husband has been like man of steel. Seriously, the man never gets sick any more. For several years now, he has taken the vitamins I recommend, given up a lot of garbage (stuff you can't really call food), and he eats what I cook from scratch. Since we've been married, his cholesterol levels have come down and returned to normal, he gave up the inhaler he has always used, he went from being lactose intolerant to being able to consume dairy without unpleasant side effects, and he stopped getting the nasty, blow a lung coughing kind of colds that he always got when we were dating. The man sounded like a barking seal reliably each year. But he hasn't sounded like that or come down with anything like that in years.
As a result, he got really used to feeling good. I know because of how he reacted to becoming sick. He was not happy about the situation and everyone in the house knew it. It was rough-for both of us. His cough was unrelenting and his patience for it was slim. He consulted with a friend of his who is a doctor and this is one of the items that was recommended to him to help him get through the nighttime coughing:
My husband went to the store and purchased this. I warned him beforehand it would be a bottle of poison, but he trusted the medical professional. He did not look at the label in the store and brought his purchase home. In addition to the sleep aid there are chemical preservatives, artificial colors, artificial sweeteners, and corn syrup in the mix. This is the solution when people are ill?
I'm not going to lie, it irritated me that my husband purchased and considered using a product like this after everything he has learned. Is it that worth it? My body reacts to the stuff in this purple formula like it is poison and you still want to chug it? And it definitely irritates me that this is what a well respected doctor has been taught to recommend. I told husband to consider having a glass of wine before bed instead and pointed out that his purple bottle of chemicals has 10% alcohol in it. He doesn't drink, so I figured it wouldn't be too tough to "knock him out" so he could sleep.
I've mentioned that Red No. 40 is banned in Europe. Enough said. High fructose corn syrup suppresses the immune system and promotes inflammation among other things. According to the Cosmetics Database Polyoxyl 40 Stearate (listed as PEG – 40 Stearate) is a moderate to high hazard ingredient. It mentions cancer, developmental and reproductive toxicity, organ toxicity, and irritation concerns, and has been found to cause tumor formation at moderate doses in rabbits. (poor rabbits…) Sodium benzoate has the ability to deprive the cells of oxygen, break down the immune system and cause cancer. And saccharin showed up on a blood test of mine as antagonistic to my body, as did the colors. And did you catch the ingredient "flavor"? What in the world is flavor? What chemical concoction might that be? And shouldn't it be required to be listed?
What is all of this doing in something people take when they are not feeling well and need some sleep? Why is a bottle of this even legal?
It was frustrating to see my little guy and husband get so sick despite my best efforts and back flips to get them well. But thankfully, I never felt a twinge of anything. I ramped up my own immune boosting protocol and ate lots of live food in the process because I was playing with snot and getting coughed and sneezed on by my little guy–and big guy–and hoped for the best! Christmas definitely came a little early for me in the way of wellness.
My response to my son and husband getting very ill was not so desirable to my husband. I went commando in my attempts to get them better. My husband already thinks I'm an extremist when it comes to eating well and taking care of my family food wise. (I beg to differ.) You can imagine my response to all this sickness. I was probably not the most compassionate wife to my husband during this display of sickness. Because I work hard at wellness, I have no tolerance for whining, complaining and laying around if you are not doing everything you can to be well. I realized how deep I have to dig lately to be compassionate to others when they are not feeling well if they are not being proactive, eating wisely and moving their bodies. Just being honest. The same goes for myself if I choose to indulge from time to time. If I feel like junk as a result, I have no one to blame but myself and try not to mope around and complain about it.
I would in my defense like to say that I threw the book at my husband in my efforts to get him well. I ramped up his vitamin C, D and zinc. I gave him fresh, live food,
I made soups with vegetables and homemade stock, I had humidifiers and simmering pots of essential oils going, I tried to get him to neti pot his nose and clean it out, I suggested he get some fresh air, sunshine on his skin and encouraged him to walk barefoot on the earth. I knew the barefoot part wouldn't happen, but the walk did. 🙂 I made him teas and homemade cough syrups that had everything from apple cider vinegar to thyme and honey, I kept the four kids occupied so he could rest for hours at a time, I encouraged him to get his spine adjusted (noticeable improvement in health after), and I showed him love and support (I promise, I did).
After three weeks his cough finally subsided just in time for Christmas. He and I are getting to sleep through the night again and I am praising Jesus!
I share all of this so you may be mindful of what is in those colorful bottles of cough syrup, sleep aids, etc. We have to be our own health advocates because unfortunately, the shelves are lined with bottles of toxic concoctions and well meaning doctors are not always recommending what is truly in our best interest.
Praying this finds you feeling well and staying well in the new year!

If you're in the Film Industry, you may remember Hotep as the filmmaker who had a theatrical release of his first documentary (featured on the Hustler's Guide DVD) in November 2005 and how it beat Harry Potter 4 at the local Atlanta box office.
If you're in the Literary Industry, you might know Hotep as the publisher/ author who penned the entrepreneur's Bible, The Hustler's 10 Commandments. Then in 2007, revolutionized the concept of MSI and wrote the working entrepreneur's manifesto, Hustle While You Work.
Entrepreneurs know Hotep as CEO of Skinnymen Productions and President of HustleUniversity.Org our nation's first-ever virtual college for progressive, independent-minded entrepreneurs.
However you know Hotep, it is important you are aware that he has built an entirely independent multi-media edutainment empire totally from scratch! Known as The One Man Brand, he calls his teaching of this empowered mind state, spreading "The Hustler's Gospel", which happens to be the title of the 3rd book in his trilogy.Looks like those technical kinks are getting worked out, as we get Ready to Pop it off with and FM JAMS in the next couple of weeks , NEW TIME, NEW SYNDICATES, 10pm Eastern, 7pm on the West Coast. So how could we not pop it off with none other than our Guest, "Hotep", who dropped some serious Nuggets for our Go-Getters. So Big Thanks to "Hotep", and our Callers/listeners aka "Go-Getters" for joining us on another Heavy Money & Music Monday. If you missed this one...we say it, but only our Go-Getters, "GET IT", the Time is NOW, sit back, press play, get your notepads/pens as NYC KEN said...& enjoy...
This week "Money Mike" & "Cool V" went ahead and went in on a very serious Show, by following up the Year of the Go-Getter with a Show that went ahead and stessed the importance of your "FOUNDATION" so "Build & Respect it". "Cool V" went ahead and hit the nail on the head, this was one show you could pay hundreds to join in on at a Workshop, Conference, or Seminar. So parlaying off of last week's show, if you Respect your Hustle, then you understand how Quickly it can be taken away from you, and the value & importance or should we say MUST!! it is to implement INSURANCE as a Fixed Expense into your Practice to protect your livelihood, family, and future.
Too often, entrepreneurs aren't convinced that business insurance is a justified expense in the early days of operating a business. There's some types of insurance that we can probably go without unless it's provided by an employer, like vision insurance or dental insurance, but there are some types of insurance that are critical. Unfortunately, many small business owners learn the hard way just how important getting and maintaining proper insurance coverage really is. Anyone who has ever experienced the need to file a business insurance claim will gladly inform you that paying your insurance premiums is one the most important investments you can make in your company.
You might even find yourself being targeted for theft for the very fact that your company is brand new. Thieves might even find the idea of robbing a new business to be more appealing than breaking in to one that is already established. After all, brand new computers and furniture will bring a higher price when pawned or sold to waiting buyers. It's important to protect the building in which your business is housed, assuming you own it, as well as the contents of the structure.
No matter what period of time you have been in business, there is always a possibility that you can experience a problem that requires proper insurance coverage. Fires, tornadoes, hurricanes, and other natural disasters can impact brand new businesses just as easily as they can affect established operations. If you live in an area that is prone to natural disasters, you may want to add business interruption coverage to your insurance plan, so that you won't experience a loss of cash flow during the days that your business has to be closed following a weather crisis or other disaster.
Burglaries and natural disasters aren't the only occurrences that small business owners need to protect themselves against. It's also important to make sure that your company has proper levels of liability coverage. Depending on the type and size of your business, you may need liability insurance against product defects. If you or your employees operate a vehicle while representing your company, you probably need automobile liability coverage. If customers visit your place of business, you need a liability policy in place to cover you in case they get injured on your property.
The need for business insurance doesn't even stop there. We live in a very litigious society, and business owners have to protect themselves against all types of lawsuits. In many cases, businesses need professional liability policies, malpractice insurance, and business practices coverage. Without the proper coverage, your business could be just one mistake or accusation away from facing financial ruin. That's why all small business owners have to realize just how important business insurance really is, and take steps to get the coverage they need to protect their companies for the future.
And last of not least, do not go without individual medical insurance. If you get sick and can't run your business, make sure there's money to get you well again.

Now, you see the GREEN Button, DON'T PRESS IT!!! It's like the Bat Mobile, you don't know where it will take you.
So as our Theme Song Goes, "Don't Mess with My Money, Don't Mess with My Music", so Seek Proper Counsel, Insurance is NOT FOR EVERYONE, however, speak to an expert, not just an insurance agent, to guide you but someone who Works for You, with the proper licensing, experience, background, and most of all expertise to what your needs are.

How to Grow Potatoes & Why You should
When I tell people that I grow my own potatoes this is what they say:
"Potatoes are cheap…. you should just buy them."
"Why would you use your garden space for potatoes?"
"A potato is a potato – why grow potatoes?"
These people have good intentions. I know many gardeners who grow veggies to save money. I know people who grow certain veggies because home grown just tastes better. I know people with limited space (me too) have to cut out some things.
Yeah, potatoes are cheap. Yeah, they take up space.
I grow my own veggies for more reasons than just those.
Why I grow potatoes:
- Fresh, Local, Farm to Table. It goes without saying that the fresher your food is, the more nutritious it is. Food grown local is better, but sometimes even local farmers will pick produce just before it's peak in order to have some sort of shelf-life. If I grown my own potatoes, I can pick them & eat them at will & there is no travel, storage, loss of nutrition to worry about.
- Pesticides, Chemicals. I know what was sprayed/ not sprayed on my food. Even "organic" veggies can be exposed to chemicals and still be labeled "organic" if the correct chemicals in the correct dilution are used. When I grow my own, there is no question about the gardening techniques. Since potatoes grow underground I am particular about what goes on the plant and on the soil. Potatoes are really marinating in whatever is used on or around the plant. If chemicals are sprayed on a area (up hill from your potatoes) or on the top of the potato plants, those chemicals will end up in the dirt & saturating your spuds.
- Harvesting & Storing. Potatoes can be stored for a loooooooong time. A bag of potatoes from the supermarket could have been harvested up to a year ago. What!? Which is crazy & far from fresh. I'm not scientist, but I'm gonna say that nutritionally speaking a year old potato is probably not full of nutrition. Which leads to my next point: Commercially grown potatoes have been found to be some of the most toxic veggies in the produce section. Ugh. The farmers use pesticides in the field to keep the beetles & blight at bay. They use more sprays to prevent those spuds from sprouting and growing into potato plants while being stored. Yummy.
- They taste better. There is a difference. A potato freshly dug from the ground will not taste like the ones from the store. Fresh potatoes are sweet, soft and full flavored. Not only are they fabulous, they also cook in 1/4 the time you are used to potatoes taking to cook.
- They are cheap to grow. The ROI (return on investment) is amazing. I can plant a piece of a seed potato & reap a crop of 7-12 potatoes from that one piece.
- Harvest as you like. I love this about potatoes. As the plants grow you can dig up potatoes for your dinner table as the mood hits. If you don't feel like potatoes, just leave them in the ground. The longer they stay in the ground the bigger they'll get. I start digging in June and pull the very last potatoes out of the ground in late August. There's no hurry & you can just dig up what you want to eat this week.
Let's Grow some Potatoes!
Most potatoes are "cool season" crops. This means they grow best in spring and fall when the nights are cool and the days are warm.
If you want to get some potatoes in the ground today (it's July) and missed the spring window – you still can!
There are many types of potatoes. Some are more heat tolerant than others. If you want to plant potatoes now, try growing: Russet Burbank, Kennebec or Azul Toro. If you can't find these just look for "heat tolerant" on the information. If you have a long growing season you can plant potatoes in August for a fall harvest. Just dig them up after the first frost.
Another option for growing potatoes in the heat of summer is to plant some sweet potatoes. They love the heat and hate the cold. My sweet potato plants came 26 in a small plastic pot. Each "plant" consisted of a small pink root and a few leaves growing off the stem. Just break the giant clump of sweet potato plants apart & plant root down/ leaves up. 🙂
If you plant potatoes in the heat of summer be sure to water them regularly so they get a good start.
Purchasing Seeds
Potato seeds don't come in little packets. They are actually whole potatoes. If you wanted to replant your own potatoes next year you could just save the potatoes & use them. No seeds.
In order to grow potatoes you must first get your hands on some "seed" potatoes to stick in the ground.
Let's go to the little, local, hardware store. If they don't have it… you don't need it.
Burlap sacks full of seed potatoes. This is what you want to buy. Seed Potatoes. The potatoes from most supermarkets have been sprayed with chemicals to make them not sprout. This is a problem if you want to grow potatoes. We want sprouts. So, be sure to get seed potatoes.
I am growing 2 varieties: Irish Cobbler & Kennebec. A paper sack full of potatoes ran my bill up to a whopping $4.
Preparing Seed Potatoes for Planting
Now that we have a bag of seed potatoes, let's get ready to plant. You could just plant the whole potato in a hole in the ground & it will grow. However, if you cut them into pieces you can get many more potato plants from each seed potato.
See those eyes? The eyes have what looks like "roots" growing out of them. They are not roots. When these guys are planted, those purple growths will find daylight & become the leafy, top part of the potato plant.
As you cut the potatoes, be sure each piece has at least 2 eyes.
Now, I will let these guys hang out on my counter and dry for 24 hours. If I plant them just after slicing, they could rot in this humid, Kentucky land. I know there are gardeners who slice them & stick them right in the ground. Allowing them to dry will put a protective layer on that newly exposed meat & prevent rotting.
You want to plant your seed potato pieces about 4-6 inches deep and plant so the new growth (eye) is pointing up. If your children drop them in the hole facing the wrong way, it's OK. Mine always manage to find the sun no matter how my kids bury them.
When the potatoes are in bloom it is a glorious sight. I love potato blossoms! Just leave them alone & let them grow.
I should mention that when you see these blossoms it means that the tubers (the baby potatoes) are growing underground. This is a critical point in a potato life & they need regular water to do well.
After they bloom you will notice a decline in appearance. You did not do anything wrong. This is the life of a potato plant. Let the dying begin!
They are actually not dying…. well, the vines are dying, but the stupendous spuds underground are very much alive and thriving.
One day as you visit your garden you may notice that an earthquake has hit the potato bed and there are cracks in the soil. It was not an earth quake. The soil is parting and crevicing because there are mammoth, beautiful potatoes underground moving the earth.
If you brush aside the mulch & dirt you will find a treasure awaiting. Potatoes! Glory! Eureeka!
You can eat these or cover them back up.
Now that the spuds are getting big and really coming along they are going to need a little protection from you. Sunlight is bad for potatoes, it turns them green, makes them bitter, and causes problems. To protect your baking buddies while they continue to grow, just mound some more dirt over them or cover them with a thick layer of straw (about 6 inches).
Feel free to eat potatoes whenever you want. It's your garden – please enjoy it. As the summer carries on, the tops of the potato plants (vines) will completely die. Your potato patch will be a desert of nothingness (or weeds if you are me). Yes, this is normal!
Once all the vines die it is time to dig up the potatoes (what you haven't already eaten). In Kentucky this happens in August.
Tips on digging potatoes:
- Be careful. It's easy to accidentally stab, impale or slice a perfect potato accidentally.
- Pick a dry day. Potatoes are easier to dig up if the soil is dry.
If you plan to store your potatoes do not wash them. Just brush off the dirt and let them dry in the sun a few hours before storing.
Store in a well ventilated crate in cool area. Do not stack them too deep – if the potatoes on the bottom of the pile get crushed they'll rot the whole bunch.
Wash any that have blemishes or were inadvertently stabbed during digging & eat this week. Store the rest for meals to come.

I know there have been tons of quirks with attachments over the years. Is this something that is still in progress from the site update? Am I seeing a 100k limit on pics? Are attachments still a thing?
Its no big deal to me as I can link them elsewhere. Its just so convenient to attach it directly rather than searching out a few links. There were also a few attachments that I lost the original from many years ago. Any chance the ancient pics get restored?

Being connected to the Internet exposes us to cyber-attacks, which are changing, evolving and becoming more and more sophisticated.
This breakfast event is designed to discuss the political dimension of the international efforts needed to address specific cybersecurity vulnerabilities and threats. The EU and US recently launched a Working Group on Cyber-security and Cyber-crime to increase the transatlantic cooperation on this matter. Improving EU & US Cybersecurity will need the definition of political priorities and an important collaboration between the public and private sectors. The growing sophistication of cyber threats and the interconnected nature of the Internet put cybersecurity beyond the reach of any single government or organisation.
Information security requires an ecosystem in which all types of entities – government agencies, network providers, software developers, device manufacturers, and application companies – play a significant role. To enable smart networks to address threats emerging from rapidly changing information infrastructure, Government policy must encourage coordination and innovation in network security and continued investment in advanced network technologies.
For this event we have the chance to have as our keynote speaker Robert G. Bell, European Secretary of Defense Representative and Advisor to the U.S. Mission to NATO. Over his long career Mr. Bell hold very important positions such as NATO Assistant Secretary General for Defense Investment, Special Assistant to President Clinton for National Security Affairs and as the NSC Senior Director for Defense Policy and Arms Control. The other speaker will be Eric Loeb, Vice President, International External and Regulatory Affairs of AT&T, frequent speaker at international conferences on cybersecurity.
Ivailo Kalfin, MEP and EIF Member

Mountain Man Sugar Cookies!
The Mountain Man cookie was made by using a Santa cookie cutter. I just cut off the Santa hat part!
And I ordered a Fireman Axe cookie cutter for the Axe cookie.
So I piped the royal icing, just like normal. And then I used edible markers to put the hat and beard details on. They turned out super cute!


text: Finished an odd little painting today. Inspired by in part by Jean-Michel Basquiat, I used some oil sticks on it. So it won't be dry for a bout 2 weeks. But I like it. I think I will do some more work with those sticks. The piece itself is inspired by my recent thoughts on the secular movement and some of the major orgs refusal to see social justice issues as relevant. There is so much potential for outreach with underrepresented groups. Social justice issues are important for movements that want to expand. But there needs to be compassion and the desire to understand issues that may not be your own. So since I felt helpless in my ability to explain that to some people- I painted a painting. It's called, "Justice." Maybe by the time the oil paint dries, some people will see the errors of their ways. Regardless, there will be art.

The Telawis in Bangsar used to be synonymous with upscale watering holes filled with expats and high-class locals. These days it seems like everyone is running off to Publika & Solaris Dutamas, and poor Bangsar gets left behind. But don't cross it out just yet though, because there are still places worth checking out, like G3 Kitchen & Bar!
From the outside it doesn't look very big, but take a look inside and the place opens up with more seating round the corner. The walls are lined with shelves that stock imported foods which can be bought as well. Good for those who catch the cooking bug after having a taste of G3's cooking. =D
We visited G3 on a weekday night, so the place was quite quiet although not totally empty. Perfect setting for a simple romantic dinner for two, although I can't say a quiet place is good for business. Ah well, a place can't have everything I suppose.
We were in a bit of a greedy mood that night
since when are we not greedy eh?. So many yummy things to try, but only 2 stomachs to fill! Decisions decisions...but ultimately this Spiced Lamb Burger with Tazaki, Feta & Fries (RM 22) won out for Wendy. We used to say lamb burgers were hard to find, but that really isn't that true these days. We went to G3 not long after our outing at Fat Boy's, so the memory of the slightly-underpar lamb burger there was still fresh in our mind.
This lamb patty turned out to be well minced, with lots of spices packed inside. The patty was too salty for us, but it was balanced out by the tangy, yogurt-y salad topping made up of cucumbers, onion, and tomato. Eaten all together, it made for a perfect combination! The bun was also of good quality and nicely buttered, a common place where burgers commonly fail, for Wendy. Definitely a better experience compared to Fat Boy's lamb burger, anyway.
I had trouble choosing the best dish to try, but the waiter recommended this Chicken Tikka Masala (RM 29) - a half chicken marinated with Indian spice, served on brown rice with tomato salsa, and mint-yoghurt sauce on the side. Before he recommended I had already included this in one of my choices narrowed down, so he just helped make up my mind. =P
Diners are warned that this take 20 minutes to prepare. Since it was a quiet night, we got ours sooner than that. But then I wouldn't mind waiting 20 minutes for this! I got served one piece of juicy, tender chicken thigh and one chicken breast. I don't know how to describe the flavour except to say it was robust, and compounded with the brown rice filled with onion, tomato, and parsley. I didn't care much for the mint sauce because the chicken and the rice had lots of flavour going for it already with the various grain and herbs in it - anymore and it was overload! Still, I thoroughly enjoyed this down to the last mouthful. =D
Like I said, we were feeling greedy that night, so we went and ordered a Pesce Fumato (RM 28) to share! Broken down, it consists of smoked tuna, salmon & snow fish in honey mustard sauce, with a thin crust for base and some rocket on top. =)
Being greedy doesn't always pay off, but this time it did! Maybe we were so impressed because we underestimated the pizza at G3; all I can say is when we sunk our teeth into that pizza we knew everything was just right! There was a generous portion of fish, with just the right amount of rocket to balance the richness of the tangy, sweet honey mustard sauce. Another great combination by G3.
Since we were on such a roll with food that night, we treated ourselves to dessert too! G3 has a vast array of desserts, but nothing looked better than this chocolate fondant (G3 has a fancier name for this, but unfortunately, our memory fails us :p) - chocolate cake with a molten lava centre with a scoop of ice cream on top.
I wouldn't call this our favourite molten lava cake, but it was nice enough, with a steaming hot liquid centre. Not the first on our list of recommendations, but we won't advise avoidance either. Satisfying end to a great dinner!
|Butterscotch Shake & Pink Guava Juice, both RM 8
All in all, we regret not making the effort to try G3 earlier even though we've known about the place for awhile. At least now we know where to go for nicer-than-usual dinner! If you're looking for a place in Bangsar, do give this place a try. There really is more to Bangsar than just Antipodean these days! =P

Today's Video of the Week is an exclusive second official trailer from Fandango for Channing Tatum's drama 'The Son of No One'. The drama is about a young cop (played by Chan) who is assigned to a precinct in the neighborhood where he grew up and an old secret that threatens to destroy his life and his family.
In addition to Chan, the amazing cast also includes Al Pacino, Ray Liotta, Juliette Binoche, Katie Holmes (who plays Chan's character's wife) and "30 Rock" funnyman Tracy Morgan in his first true dramatic role. Check out the new 'Son of No One' trailer below…
'The Son of No One' recently premiered in Japan and US fans have less than two months before we'll see the film hit our theaters, because Anchor Bay acquired U.S. distribution rights in at least 10 of the top 20 markets earlier this year. The movie will be released in U.S. theaters on November 4th!
The entire film was shot in New York City in the Spring of 2010, and fans can check out tons of photos from the film set and new stills from the Japanese official site in the CTU Photo Gallery.
Before the US premiere this November, I'll post the details and exclusive, behind-the-scenes photos of Chan, Jenna, and director Dito Montiel on the set of the film here on CTU. Stay tuned!

The Teddy Bear Hunter
The name Nancy Frost might be unfamiliar to you but she is a legend in the plush toy community. Ms. Frost has the unenviable task of chatting up carnies and then cutting into the cuddly creatures they surround themselves with. Is she a sociopath? A woman of ill repute? No. Nancy Frost does this dirty work for the greater good. She is the reason that you can sleep at night, even after spending $50 to win a miniature stuffed baby unicorn.
Every year, the city of Toronto sends good men and women to the CNE grounds to protect us from whatever dangers might be lurking there – it doesn't always work out- but Nancy Frost does her best. After familiarizing herself with the nomadic peoples of the fair, Nancy chooses one of their wares at random, and then, if the toy seems suspicious, she dons a pair of blue latex gloves and cuts into the tiny beast to check for poorly recycled padding, choking-hazardy plastic beads and other undesirable stuffings.
Lucky for us, the stuffed toy industry has really cleaned up their act lately and Nancy doesn't have to execute nearly as many tiny, plush troublemakers as she used to.
Have fun at the Ex folks, and stay safe!

Back in January, I was invited by a friend to attend a 'beauty clinic talk' held at her house. It was basically a talk to promote some beauty direct selling products and while I wasn't keen on getting any of the products, I got to learn something new at that time. Anyway, after that my friend's husband did a small presentation on how to earn extra income by joining this direct selling venture and again, I have no interest in joining it but it is still no harm to listen because my friend's husband has excellent presentation skills. There was this question asked my friend's husband, something about the things that you want to achieve in the future...I heard someone answered 'stability', and another one answered 'to travel the world'. I was thinking hard on what should my answer is going to be at that time because I do know that what the others have answered are true and it was something that I wanted too but when it was my turn to give my answer, I said 'love'. Then there was a pause...
I looked at my friend's husband and he was like, "Erm...well, yeah love." After we earn more money, we could find love as well" I can't really recall the exact words that he said but it was something like that. At that same thinking, "Oh shit, did I just gave a shallow answer?" I mean, everyone was giving the if-I-have-more-money-I-can-achieve-anything type of answers while I gave an answer that's not really money related. Of course, I would be lying if I said that money is not very essential for me. It really is especially now when I am already starting to pay my study loan but I also know that money can't really buy happiness and love, well...I believe love conquers all right? I'm not just saying the love that you get from your boyfriend/girlfriend, but from all as in your family, friends, your pets, and most importantly from God himself. That was the reason why I answered 'love', as shallow as it sounds but it was the first thing that came through my mind :)
Recently I read an article from the church bulletin that says something about how people contributes love in different ways and it also said that not all people are meant to be married which to me was kinda disappointing to know but there's legit point there. The article says 'We are destined to give our lives away; many do so in the form of marriage, others in the form of voluntary celibacy for the sake of the kingdom of heaven, others by living alone and yet being there for others. All human life find its meaning in love.' So the point here is that, even if you can't find love in a boyfriend/girlfriend kind of way (I know some of us, including yours truly yearns for it haha) but there are still so many ways in showing love for others. 'Someone who loves authentically is free, strong, and good; he can devote himself in love.' I also believe that the more we give and show love towards others, our hearts will be more at peace after all, the bible did mentioned that 'love is the greatest.' If we have faith in it, it will be one of the great essence that we can have. Maybe, I can still be drawn into other 'materialistic' things to make me happy and be successful, but at the end of the day, it always a good reminder to know what's really important in your life. So even if I felt like my answer was 'shallow', I do hope that I sort-of made a point? Hehe.
Today, we remember the greatest love that we could ever have; the love that is pure and unconditional even if we have sinned so many times and yet He never gave up his love to us. This is the kind of love that no money can ever buy in this world. Blessed Good Friday.

Two of my Thule knobs were broken. I was going to the movies on a Friday night and had seriously considered "lifting" replacement knobs from another Thule rack in the parking lot. The good deal pricing and speedy shipping from Austin Kayak kept me from a life of crime. Proudly I can keep my bicycles from flying off the roof of my car. Thanks Austin Kayak!
Worked great! My old hardware had gotten rusty due to age & I now have a set of perfectly functioning kayak saddles.

The English Breakfast Blend No. 2 CO2 Decaffeinated Tea blend from English Tea Store is a strong, full bodied tea with some fruity notes.
This blend is based on FP leaf from Sri Lanka's Dimbula region, harvested high up in the mountains above Colombo. For a decaffeinated blend, the cup is decidedly self-assured with lovely floral notes, medium body, balanced astringency and a long finish. (The cup is so good it has actually fooled professional tea tasters into believing it was untreated). A wonderful all-day breakfast tea that opens wonderfully with milk.
It has long been rumored that the Queen of England insists on drinking only decaffeinated teas past noon. To purists it might sound outlandish that the reining sovereign of the most famous of all tea drinking nations should do such a thing, but apparently it's true. And it could well be, since drinking decaf allows those who are caffeine sensitive to reap all the health benefits of tea without getting the jitters. Proper tea produced from Camellia Sinensis, is one of Mother Nature's best options in terms of getting cancer-fighting polyphenols and antioxidants into your body. It's also a great source of vitamin C. The problem for many years was that decaffeinated teas were invariably awful. At the factory level, finished tea underwent a chemical based decaffeination process that stripped the caffeine and with it many of the natural healthy compounds found in the untreated leaf (it also left an unpleasant aftertaste most un-befitting the breakfast table of her Highness).
The Canadian Chemical Free CO2 Process removes caffeine without using chemicals of any sort. Instead, finished tea is briefly soaked in exceptionally pure water and gently flushed with CO2. The CO2 binds to the caffeine molecules and extracts them from the tea leaving behind all the natural proteins that give tea its flavor. It also leaves many of the polyphenols and antioxidants intact - so it's still good for you.
Available in 3 sizes (Please select from the options above):

First time trying English Tea Store's English Breakfast Blend No. 2 Decaf Loose Leaf Tea? Try our Sample Size of 1 ounce.
Antioxidant Content: Medium. The longer you steep your tea the more polyphenols will be extracted. (Test results based on 5 minutes steeping time. Polyphenol percentages may fluctuate with lot, grade of tea, testing method, temperature of water and freshness of tea). More antioxidants are extracted from tea (L. Camellia Sinesis) the longer it is brewed. And the more tea is used, the greater the antioxidant benefit.

Love After Loss Exhibit Highlights Children's Lives In Ethiopia
Love After Loss, an exhibit of photographs of children in Ethiopia by Elena Rue, will be displayed at Duke University's Terry Sanford Institute of Public Policy, from September 16, 2008 to January 9, 2009. An opening reception at the institute, on September 16, 5–6 p.m., is free and open to the public.
Rue worked in Ethiopia in 2006 as a Lewis Hine Fellow. The Lewis Hine Documentary Fellows Program is a project of the Center for Documentary Studies (CDS). Each year, Hine Fellows are sent to placements domestically and abroad to work with local organizations to document humanitarian issues over the course of ten months.
In collaboration with Hope for Children (HFC) in Ethiopia, Rue worked closely with orphaned children living in group homes. HFC, started six years ago by an Ethiopian woman in response to the rapidly growing number of children orphaned by HIV/AIDS, provides support to more than 700 children. The homes are the size of a traditional Ethiopian family (6-8 children), and each is headed by a group home mother. Rue spent time in seven of these group homes during the nine months that she worked in Ethiopia. This exhibit gives a window into the lives of these children and into this remarkable and effective response to the overwhelming problem of HIV and AIDS. (For an on-line view of some of Rue's work, click here. )
"Elena Rue brings us close to the experiences of these Ethiopian children. She has made color photographs so penetratingly beautiful that we can see beyond the crisis that has engendered these expressions, see far and deep enough to recognize our common humanity," said Alex Harris, founder and creative director of the Hine Fellows Program and a professor of the practice of PPS.
The exhibition is supported by the Lewis Hine Documentary Fellows Program at the Center for Documentary Studies at Duke University. The Lewis Hine Documentary Fellows Program receives additional support from the Philanthropic Initiative and the Jessica Jennifer Cohen Foundation.

Tackle and other forms of "harmful contact" in rugby should be banned from school PE lessons, claim researchers writing in the British Medical Journal.
Allyson Pollock and Graham Kirkwood from Newcastle University, say evidence shows that collision sports, such as youth rugby, carry high rates of injury.
They are calling on the government to "put the interests of the child before the interests of corporate professional rugby unions" and remove harmful contact from the school game.
Pollock and Graham Kirkwood explain in their BMJ article that a recent evidence review of youth sports found that rugby, ice-hockey and American football had the highest concussion rates in children.
They also list other ailments associated with head injury, including increased risk of dementia and Alzheimer's disease, as well as an increase in violent behaviour and violent injury in adolescents.
Rather than calling on a ban on the entire sport, Pollock and Kirkwood state that rule changes could make a difference - citing Canada's ban on 'body-checking' (intentional body contact) in under 13s ice-hockey, which led to a reduction in concussion risk.
However, they point out that evidence for other strategies to reduce concussion risk in sport, including the wearing of protective equipment such as mouthguards, is weak.
They also cite the Oxfordshire Rugby Football Schools Union Training Audit from October 2015, which found that teacher training was lacking in concussion awareness and the skills of rugby.
In July 2016 the four UK chief medical officers (CMOs) rejected the call for a ban on tackling in youth rugby, citing a report which claimed rugby was no more injury prone than other sports.
But Pollock and Kirkwood argue that, under the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (Article 19), "governments have a duty to protect children from risks of injury and to ensure the safety of children, which is why we are calling on CMOs to act now."
Responding to the report a Department for Education spokesperson told HuffPost UK that the government would not be making any changes to PE lessons, as it does not prescribe a definitive list of the activities or sports that schools should offer their pupils; this is a matter for schools to decide.
"Schools have the flexibility to offer a diverse PE curriculum which suits the needs of their students," they said.
"We expect schools to be aware of all of the risks associated with sporting activities and to provide a safe environment for pupils.
"There is expert advice available for schools on how to manage activities safely and reduce the risk of injuries and accidents. On top of this, staff should be given the information and training they need to manage risks effectively."
The Association for Physical Education (AfPE) and the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents provide advice to schools on how to manage activities safely and reduce the risk of injuries and accidents.
Earlier this year the AfPE said it fully supports the inclusion of Rugby within National Curriculum Physical Education.
"Parents should be aware of what sports are taught in the schools they choose to send their children to," they stated.
"If rugby is taught, then parents send their children to the school in the knowledge that they are likely to be asked to play rugby at some level."

Folk - Latin - Roots - Son Jarocho - World
From Toronto, Ontario
Café Con Pan play son jarocho music from Veracruz, Mexico. They explore the roots of son jarocho while connecting with other traditions from Latin America and beyond. Alec Dempster and Kali Niño began playing as a duo in 2004. They met in the town of Santiago Tuxtla in 1996, where Kali is from, and famous for its musical heritage. Over the past decade they have maintained a multi-disciplinary relationship with son jarocho embarking on projects, which combine research, collaboration, visual arts, teaching, and producing. Their performances are guided by Kali´s uplifting voice and her effusive zapateado dancing. She began dancing and singing as a child, surrounded by legendary son jarocho musicians, skillfully combining the vigorous impetuous of the jarocho genre with an introspective quality. Alec plays an array of traditional instruments such as la leona, la guitarra de son, la jarana and el pandero. Their move to Toronto in 2009 marked the beginning of a new phase of creativity and collaboration with musicians such as Chris Banks, Araz Salek, Brian Katz, Jessica Hanah Deutsch, Jaron Freeman-fox, La Marisoul, Alejandra Robles and Nick Storring. Café Con Pan performs in duo, trio, quartet and larger formats

Top 10 Antique Highways
If you would like to learn more about the old ways and ancient pathways, you should definitely visit these antique highways, which give you the opportunity to follow in the footsteps of the ancient nomad people. To help you in this endeavor, we devised a list of the world's 10 most amazing pathways, which were used in ancient times by traders, pilgrims and armies alike.
1. Japan's Nakasendo Highway
This narrow highway was built in the 17th century with the purpose of linking Edo (Tokyo) with Kyoto. The road was named Nakasendo (central mountain route) because it traveled inland, and because it was so well developed, many famous personalities walked on it, including the haiku master Matsuo Bashō. The road spans approximately 310 miles, and it was intended to be used by horses and pedestrians, since the Japanese people did not travel by cart.
2. North America's Old North Trail
Traveling was a very important part in the Blackfeet Indians' way of life. The Old North Trail stretched from Canada all the way to Mexico for about 2,000 miles, as it ran along the "backbone of the world", which is now commonly known as the Rocky Mountains. The Blackfeet would spend about 4 years on this road as they traveled across the continent, undergoing sacred journeys or searching for a wife.
3. The Khmer Highway in Cambodia and Thailand
Many parts of this ancient road are now overgrown with jungle and can only be observed from above, but a long time ago it used to represent a very important roadway that connected Angkor (in Cambodia) with Phimai (now in Thailand). The highway measures 140 miles, and it was frequently used by the Cambodian "god-kings", who used it to travel to various temples where they performed rituals and religious ceremonies. Most of the buildings found alongside the road date back to the reign of King Jayavarman VII.
4. Hong Kong's Yuen Tsuen Ancient Trail in China
The Yuen Tsuen Ancient Trail is also known as the Yuen Tsuen Traditional Footpath, and it represents a very old road linking Yuen Long and Tsuen Wan in the New Territories of Hong Kong. Part of the road is reserved as a natural trail for hikers.
5. Australia's Old Great North Road
The Old Great North Road was built to link Sydney to Hunter Valley to the north, and it was constructed between 1825 and 1836 by men sentenced to forced labor. Some sections of the road boast great quality, and as such, the route was seen as a major architectural achievement. Because of its great historical significance, the highway was included in UNESCO's World Heritagelist and in the Australian National Heritage List.
6. Spain's Via Augusta
Via Augusta was a Roman road that crossed the entire province of Hispania, from Cadiz to the Pyrenees, beforejoining the Via Domitia. This road stretched for about 900 miles and it was named after Emperor Augustus. Used mainly as commercial route, thishighway is also known as Via Exterior or Via Herculea.
7. The Via Egnatia in Albania and Turkey
This famous highway was built by the Roman proconsul GnaeusEgnatius in the first century B.C. with the purpose of linking the Bosphorus with the Aegean and the Adriatic Sea. The road crossed the Roman provinces of Thrace, Macedonia and Illyricum, running through areas that are now part of European Turkey, Greece, Republic of Macedonia and Albania. It covered a total distance of 696 miles, and it was 19.6 feet wide, paved with stone slabs and covered with sand.
8. The Amber Road from Russia to Italy
Amber, also known as "the gold of the north" was transported along this ancient route that connects the Baltic with the Adriatic. Nowadays, tourists are able to follow this trail from St. Petersburg all the way to Venice.
9. The Persian Royal Road from Turkey to Iran
The Persian Royal Road's construction can be attributed to the famous king Darius the Great. The king needed a way to facilitate communication across his vast empire fromSusa to Sardis. The road connected the Mediterranean and the Persian Gulf, and it was traveled by famed historical personalities such as Alexander the Great, Queen Esther, Herodotus and King Midas.
10. The King's Highway from Egypt to Syria
The King's Highway represented one of the most important trade routes in the ancient Middle East. The road began in Egypt, and stretched across the Sinai Peninsula to Aqaba, turning northwards towards Syria. This pathway is very popular with pilgrims, since it passes Mount Nebo, where it is said that Moses had his vision about the Promised Land.

Lower Limb
Hip Abduction Orthosis
Hip Abduction Orthosis provides firm support and stabilization for nonoperable hip disorders and postoperative, primary or revision total hip arthroplasty. Moisture-wicking neoprene padding. Patent pending "infinite range" hip joint is the only hinge that provides infinite adjustability from -5° to 25° abduction, critical to correct bio-mechanical fitting. Flexion and extension ROM adjustable, too. Pelvic posterior panel features pivoting adjustment mechanism that eliminates need for male and female versions. Lightweight. Easy on and off.
Knee-ankle-foot orthoses (KAFO)
Each KAFO is custom-made to the specific requirements of the individual. There are numerous design options available that make usage of the Orthosis both functional and comfortable. A detailed examination and assessment of the patient allows us to suggest the best available component combination.
FREEDOM® Wrap-Around Knee Orthosis
FREEDOM® Wrap-Around Knee Orthosis Covered bilateral stainless steel-hinged uprights with hyperextension stops allow varus/valgus support. Wraparound closure on top and bottom makes brace easy to apply while upper and lower circumferential straps reduce brace migration. 3/16" black, nylon-covered neoprene maintains warmth to aid in healing. Fits right or left knee.
AIR CAM® Adjustable Walker Boot
The AIR CAM® Adjustable Walker Boot has a lowered rocker design and CAM adjustability ranging from neutral to 45° plantar/dorsiflexion with the turn of a screw. Unique ankle joint allows easy access adjustment and aluminum uprights for further customization. Fix the ankle or prescribe a range of motion. Also has a pneumatic liner for a more natural gait with increased support and stability. Fits left or right.
Elite™ Rehabilitator™ AFO
Elite™ Rehabilitator AFO Lightweight and semi-flexible construction helps improve gait biomechanics and efficiency for patients with mild to moderate foot drop. Patented FUSION process incorporates a blend of carbon fiber materials throughout for greater flexibility when compared to other rigid carbon fiber AFO's. Helps control plantar flexion, increase toe clearance, and facilitate heel to toe weight transfer while optimizing dynamic swing assist for reduced energy consumption. Appropriate for patients with mild to moderate spasticity.
Upper Limb
AliMed® Dorsal Resting Splint
AliMed® Dorsal Resting Splint This prefabricated, padded, Dorsal Resting Splint eliminates the two main problems with traditional volar splints: the pressure from the splint surface can increase tone in the wrist and finger flexors and the splints can trap heat and perspiration. These problems often result in poor patient compliance.This dorsal splint allows for maximum range of motion without triggering flexor spasticity, because the contact is on the dorsal surface of the palm and wrist.
AliMed® FREEDOM® Hyperextension Elbow Braces
FREEDOM® Hyperextension Elbow is designed to stabilize the elbow by helping to control extension and rotation. Stabilization is accomplished through a unique design that incorporates dual, polycentric, stainless-steel-covered hinges with hyperextension stops into a functional neoprene sleeve. Two anterior criss-cross straps feature hook-and-loop closures to further limit elbow extension. Biceps closure helps to maintain proper positioning and reduce migration.
Aircast® Mayo Elbow Hinged Brace
An innovative control knob and adjustable hinge, provides exceptional stability and comfort while allowing for immobilization, static stretch or free motion option of the elbow. The sturdy metal uprights provide stability, while the straps with aircells securely hold the brace in position, ensure patient comfort and avoid pressure points. The brace is used immediately after surgery to protect and immobilize the elbow joint. In the immediate post injury or post surgical period, the brace may be used to comfortably immobilize the elbow due to the effectiveness of the aircell strapping systems.
Exos Radial Gutter Fracture Brace
Provides stabilization to the second and third metacarpals, second and third metacarpophalangeal (MCP) joints, the second and third digits and the wrist joint.
The revolutionary SaeboStretch dynamic resting hand splint helps neurologically impaired clients maintain or improve motion while minimizing joint damage and pain. Saebo's energy-storing technology allows individuals suffering from spasticity to stretch comfortably and safely resulting in increased motivation and compliance.
Cervical and Spinal
AliMed® Soft Shell Helmet
Soft Shell Helmet Constructed from 1/2"-thick, shock-absorbing foam - weighs less than 8 oz.! Fully ventilated with an easy-to-clean vinyl coat helps prevent bacteria build-up. No hardware anywhere on the soft, foam shell so wearer's face does not come in contact with any hard surface. Woven polypropylene chin strap with snap closure and adjustable buckle for tight, comfortable fit.
Aspen® Cervical Collars
Aspen® Cervical Collars Pads wick moisture while shell distributes and transfers head weight to shoulders and upper thorax. Fit upright or supine patients. Front and back airflow openings. Adjustable Occipital Support Strap™. Aspen TX includes thoracic extension. Both models include a breathable pad set (front and back) and extra set of replacement pads.
Thoracic lumbar sacral orthoses (TLSO)

Hook-and-loop closures allow easy adjustability. Foam shell can be trimmed with scissors. Aluminum frame can be contoured to patient without tools. Modular front panel offers option of either Standard or Pendulous Front.
Lumbar sacral orthoses (LSO)
The Aspen® Lumbosacral Bracing System™ offers the practitioner multiple orthotic options that provide a high degree of immobilization, unparalleled comfort, and the ability to self-adjust to patients even if they gain or lose weight. It combines the motion restriction of a custom fabricated orthosis with a dramatic improvement in comfort for better patient outcomes.
Cervical thoracic orthoses (CTO)
The Aspen® CTO combines highly effective motion restriction of the cervical and upper thoracic spine with a level of comfort that makes it well tolerated by patients. Research has shown substantially progressive motion restriction in going from a stand-alone cervical collar, to a two-post device, and then on to a four-post orthosis. For these reasons, the Aspen® CTO system offers the greatest versatility available when dealing with cervical-thoracic problems in today's cost conscious healthcare environment.

So, when Pact launched its fitness app that let you make money for working out -- or else pay a fee for failing to do so -- it seemed to be the perfect motivational tool. There was just one problem: The company apparently wasn't that great at paying up, and was it too good at collecting fees.

The Sultanate of Oman's 20 SEPECAT Jaguar strike aircraft are to be upgraded in a $68-million programme to match the latest UK Royal Air Force standards.
Britain's Defence Evaluation and Research Agency will act as prime contractor for the upgrade, which will extend the life of the Omani Jaguars well into the 21st century.
It includes updating the avionics and navigation systems; installing the Thermal Imaging Airborne Laser Designator (TIALD) targeting system, developed by DERA and GEC-Marconi before the Gulf War; and new cockpit displays.
This is the first export sale of the upgrade.
The work will be carried out by Royal Air Force of Oman personnel, managed jointly with the RAF, and is due to be completed by the end of 2000.
British companies involved in the agreement are GEC-Marconi, British Aerospace and Ultra Electronics.
DERA's role in the Oman upgrade will primarily be the development and testing of the aircraft's operational flight programmes using the newly-built Jaguar mission avionics rig at its Boscombe Down airfield.
The Royal Air Force's current Jaguar 1997 upgrade was designed by DERA at Boscombe Down and includes new displays and computers; a helmet-mounted sight; global positioning and terrain-referenced navigation system; 400-series TIALD pod; HOTAS (Hands On Throttle And Stick); and a1553B databus.
The RAF is also procuring a new integrated mission planning system.


text: Hi everyone! Just found this place and can't believe it's taken me this long! My name is Pat and I'm a 19 year old college student from Ann Arbor, Michigan. I mostly enjoy reading fantasy/sci-fi stuff, but I'm also a huge fan of the specific way some writers (see: Steinbeck) portray realistic fiction settings. Right now I'm reading Cannery Row which is terrific and I'd highly recommend it if you're looking for something somewhat short to read. I also own two cats and am a big fan of cats in general. This seems like a great community and I can't wait to become a part of it.

10. Whats The Price of Gas in Ecuador?
This is the surprise post – we published this in response to a reader question and never expected the volume of interest that it has received. The cost of gas in Ecuador has been one of the few things that has remained the same since we arrived 3.5 years ago and is a stable factor in the cost of owning a car in Ecuador.

8. So You Want To Drive in Ecuador?
Why not drive in Ecuador? Well aside from $0.25 buses and $2.00 taxis – there is another good reason to avoid buying a car. The style of driving isn't what we were used to back in Canada. And in spite of what we said when we first arrived, we did end up buying a car and I got my drivers license.

7. Are Expats Paying Too Much for Rentals in Cuenca?
It's a hot question. Is it okay to overpay, as long as you can afford it? Or do expats have a responsibility to avoid inflating the economy where they live? Is it even possible to do that?

6. Top 10 Posts on Gringos Abroad in 2011
There is a certain irony when one of our top posts in 2012 is a post about top posts from the previous year. The nice thing about these "best of" posts is that they highlight the most popular (as determined by other readers) posts of the year. Some of the posts that I'm especially proud of from 2011 are: Living Abroad: The Bad Days, Two Years In Ecuador: Why We Moved, Why We Stay and Culture Shock in Canada – Our Trip Home.

1. Behind the Scenes: House Hunters International in Cuenca Ecuador
Filming House Hunters in Cuenca Ecuador last fall has been one of the more controversial topics on the blog. There is a segment of expats that, while not having any trouble learning about a place themselves, want to keep all "the others" out of their paradise. As if they are "good expats" and the others would be "bad". It makes me laugh. This post is a summary of what the actual filming experience was like.

Has anyone else gotten into this series of books? Written by Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child.
If you're a book reader that enjoys suspense type novels, I cannot recommend these books enough. The first book it titled "Relic", and the actual character Agent Pendergast isn't even the main character.
The books to follow become more centered around his character, and he is very close to becoming my favorite fictional character of all time. I'm almost finished with the 5th book, and I believe there is around 14-15 total in the series.
Again, highly, highly recommended!!
