I was blessed with zit-free skin until I turned 21, and then it seemed, all hell broke lose. My GP put it down to my hormones, and my Dermatoligist, stress. In so many ways, I have to agree with my Dermatologist, what, with attempting to recover from an eating disorder that had consumed the better part of my teenage years and early adult-hood and then being diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis amoungst other general life anxieties, I was struggling, and evidently it was showing in my skin.
I tried everything over the space of about twelve months to improve my acne. Organic, vegan, natural skin care, supplements, facial oils, more moisturiser, less moisturiser, no moisturiser, cotton pillow casing, endless cleaners and toners and then when those failed, I was desperate enough to try prescribed topical treatments and also various strong anti-biotics from my GP, which also happened to fail.
(January 2015)
Catch 22.
The stress of being stressed over my acne and ever-diminishing self-confidence certainly wasn't helping…my skin. In February this year, my physical symptoms started to become progressively worse. I was experiencing almost constant and worsening neuropathic pain, limb weakness, parasthesia, and I was constantly exhuasted. It was at that point that I decided I needed to focus more on my physical health and the process of reducing chronic-inflammation and less on my appearence, and it was only then that my acne started to improve.
Multiple Sclerosis, is described an inflammatory demyelinating condition and my worsening symptoms, along with my (also worsening) ance, indicated to me that I needed to do something to reduce the inflammation in my body in order to help/heal either one of these two chronic conditions.
Despite being vegan, I did still consume a large proportion of "processed" and highly acidic foods which Im now sure were contributing to both my worsening physical symptoms and painful acne. I didn't know this at the time, but my (what I thought at the time) was an innocent Soy Flat White from Starbucks each day was actually highly processed and making me sick. That, along with multiple packets of (also processed) vegan snacks, a quick vegan "cheeze" sandwich for lunch, a soy latte late afternoon, and perhaps some grilled tofu or soy burgers for dinner…well, my body was just swimming in toxin overload.
Vegan or not, too many processed foods can cause toxin overload which in turn, causes acidity overload which creates an environment in the body in which allergens and disease can flourish. Our digestive tract naturally tries to balance out the mixture of things we consume, but the problem is that too much of what we eat is potentially acid-forming.
These images were taken this morning and have not been manitulated in any way. They are staright out of camera.
So, you might be wondering, what changes have I made to both improve my physical health and cure my acne?
1. I've (almost) quit coffee – Im a gal who used to be obsessed with the stuff. Im talking 8-12 cups a day at least, including at least two large soy flat whites from one of my favourite cafe's depending on where I was going that day. I loved them. Today, I drink more nourishing green and herbal teas from my favourite tea company. Coffee is now a weekend treat for me, and although I miss it hugely, I'm certainly not missing the acid reflux, and excessive beltching that used to come along with my plethoric coffee consumption (TMI!)
2. Nut milks – Yes, not only did I consume soy milks in my coffee, but they went into my oatmeal and smoothies at breakfast time too. Now, I make my own nut milks using a similar process to this. I make a batch on a Sunday and again mid-week to have on hand. Its such a simple and easy process and the home-made stuff tastes so much more delicious than processed soy milk in a carton!
3. I make all my meals from scratch with unprocessed plant based ingredients – Like, everything. I do a weekly food shop typically on a Sunday, buying organic fruit and vegetables where possible, and batch cook for the week ahead. I no longer buy processed vegan substitutes such as Cheezly, marinated tofu, processed vegan snacks, and meat free substitutes, instead, I make my own. There are however, occasions when Im not able to make my own food or when I'm eating out with friends or family and thats fine! If I'm grabbing a snack on the go, I just make sure it's as minamilly processed as possible.
4. I regularly eat fermented foods – The combination between my former eating disorder and my excessive daily coffee consumption meant I was suffering daily digestive discomfort – another sign of chronic inflammation. To improve the balance between the beneficial bacteria and disease-causing bacteria that exist naturally in the digestive system, one of the most effective ways (as well as eliminating coffee of course!), is by eating foods that are high in beneficial bacteria (probiotics) – specifically fermented foods. There are a number of fermented, inflammation-fighting foods out there, but a few of my favorites are: sauerkraut, tempeh, kefir made from coconut milk, kombucha, and miso.
5. I Keep hydrated – This goes back to my first point. These days I make a point of having water on hand and sipping it throughout the day and instead of taking endless coffee breaks, that way I'm keeping my body adequately and reguarly hydrated. And, well, I'm sure you all how important drinking water is for your skin (and brain!).
5. I Eat Mindfully – This is such a simple one, but sometthing that not only massively improved my digestion, but has also helped me to relax, enjoy and appreciate the food thats infront of me.
To learn more about the importance of the acid-alkaline balance through diet as a way of reducing inflammation in the body, I highly reccommend this book.

Material Name
The material name is called Cork Flooring. This is a type of flooring that can be used in residential or commercial locations with low medium-high traffic. It is a material that can also be used on walls to help achieve any look that is desired. Cork is a very natural and unique material that gives endless options for architects and interior designers and especially homeowners of today.
Cork flooring is a very durable material that is easy to take care of. Cleaning of this type of flooring is simple, just a damp mop is all that's needed. It maintained this material could have a life up to 25 years depending on the traffic area, where it is located.
This type of flooring enables a vast variety of textures and colors to be made. This material can create a feeling of sophistication, warmth, style and high prestige in any location.
Cork flooring is comfortable. It creates buoyancy making it feel like your walking on clouds. It is easy on your legs and your knees. It also insulates sound exceptionally well. This material can be used in libraries and even in music areas, where sound quality is crucial.
Installing Cork flooring can be applied by an installer or by you. It can be installed as a floating floor as parquet flooring. Cork flooring can be costly but the benefits of its flooring outweighs the cost. Bugs and parasites do not live in Cork flooring, so its good for people with allergies.
Cork flooring is a material that is unique, durable, beneficial, easy install and maintain, and very stylish. This material is good in any location whether in a high traffic area or in a bathroom. It is positively a perfect material for any floor.
General Description
The best word to describe Cork flooring is versatility. Cork is natural, environmentally friendly, and durable. Cork is harvested from trees, which are peeled very 9 to 14 years, apposed to being fallen. None toxic chemicals are used in the processing of Cork. This is a great example of a renewable resource. It has so many bonus characteristics; warm in winter, cool in summer, unaffected by humidity (great for bathrooms) and it is wonderful for sound absorption (i.e. music studio). Among other things, Cork needs very low maintenance and it is very clean, which makes it great for people with allergies. Cork is also anti static making it a great flooring choice for computer software companies. Cork is an excellent cushion (good for problematic legs and knees), which will give under compression, and leaves very small indentation. It is also fire resistant, releases no harmful gases, and does not spread flames when on fire. Suberin, a property of Cork, is a natural insect repellent. Cork is resistant to mildew and mold. It has a unique cellular structure; each cubic centimeter contains between 30-40 million cells, in conjunction with its honeycomb structure, and creates for the % 90 gassiest tissues. This tissue makes for very low density, which creates the thermal and sound insulation properties. This truly versatile product is great for many residential and commercial applications.
Cork is grown in Southern Europe; but primarily it is harvested in Spain and Portugal. This material is manufactured worldwide to meet international demands. It is a material that is readily available almost anywhere. Raw Cork is harvested from Cork trees every 9 to 14 years, where the bark is 'peeled' from the tree causing absolutely no damage to itself. Cork trees can live up to 900 years making this a very environmentally friendly material. Once it is harvested in these countries, it is then sent all around the world to be manufactured and distributed to local retail and commercial outlets.
Cork is fairly available product. Usually imported from Europe. Cork has grown in Spain and Portugal, and manufactured in Germany. Natural finished Cork panels are more readily available, apposed to specific and special requested stains. Upon ordering it usually takes 2 weeks before installation begins.
The cost of Cork flooring can vary. Special finishes and styles will cause an increase in price. On average per square foot, a customer would be looking at $12.00 each. Installation will be between $2.00-$2.50 per square foot. In most cases, if a company is installing the floor, there is a minimum order of 100 Sq. feet (only if stained). If less, there is a set-up cost of approximately $100.00. Although it may seem a little pricey, it is a worthwhile investment, when you analyze all the benefits.
Cork flooring truly can be used in countless applications. Residentially, it can be used in all rooms. Washroom applications are great because of the mold and mildew properties, also making it great for the kitchen. Due to a waxy property called Seberin, a part of the Cork make-up, it allows for excellent spill and stain resistance. It is wonderful for entertainment rooms, and active family homes because of its natural sound absorption. Families that may have allergies and like the softness of carpet, but need the cleanliness of vinyl, find Cork flooring a great compromise. As a commercial application, it can be a stunning addition. Realistically, it is only appropriate for low traffic areas, because of the natural ware and tear.
Installing a *Duro-Design cork floor can be accomplished in five easy steps:
1- Ensure that wood or concrete sub-floor is free of imperfections, using Portland self-leveling cement to make any necessary repairs.
2- Apply water-base contact adhesive with short nap paint roller. Wait 30 minutes for the adhesive to dry. The dry adhesive will reactivate the pre-glued tiles.
3- Lay down the tiles as tightly as possible, compressing them together if necessary so as not to leave any gaps.
4- After installing a few tiles, apply pressure to the joints with a small melamine roller. Alternatively, wait until the end and go over the entire area with a 100-pound roller.
5- Apply four coats (two-hour interval between coats) of our MP765 water-base urethane using synthetic lambskin wool supplied.
*This doesn't apply to Tongue and Groove flooring, but this type of snap together floating floor is self-explanatory.
*This information was provided by Duro-Design's steps for their installation of their product; but it is still applicable to all other floorings.
Regular maintenance will include wiping with a damp mop and periodical wood floor cleaners diluted in water (Do not use oil and waxes). Periodical maintenance may include reapplication of Varethane sealer in high traffic areas. Preparation of the floor involves a fast light manual sanding (numbered 220/280), NEVER use a machine, you should follow by vacuuming. Than proceed to mix catalyst with varnish, stir gently (you must stir right away), and apply with lambskin wool attached to a pole. The customer may walk on it the following in their shoes. The more care you take the longer your Cork flooring will last.
Periodic Maintenance for commercial application:
- Yearly for high traffic commercial application
- Every two to three years for medium traffic commercial application
- Every five years for light traffic residential or commercial application
Warranties that are usually provided Cork flooring company (example of Duro Design's warranty):
Every Duro Design floor is guaranteed to perform for a full five years and withstand normal wear and tear provided one coat of MP765 is applied.
1- Yearly for high-volume traffic retail
2- Every two to three years for low-to-medium commercial traffic
3- Every five to seven years for residential traffic
In addition, they guarantee that there will be no fading or discoloration of the stain over tile. A well-maintained floor will last for decades.

Coming to the Roaring Fork Valley, or leaving for your new adventures elsewhere? Keep in mind that you can rely on Jennifer for a patient, deliberate and understanding relationship which makes buying or selling real estate in the valley a productive and positive experience.
Drawing on a background as a sales and marketing professional since nearly the beginning of time, Jennifer applies that experience to successfully match buyers and sellers. Driven by a personal dedication to a successful outcome for clients, she provides thoughtful guidance, reliable communication and thorough and timely execution of the process. She puts the FUN back in fundamentally good business.

Jennifer helped us buy a great retirement home in Glenwood Springs while we were still living in Atlanta, Georgia. When we saw a home we liked online, Jennifer went and visited it for us. Then she gave us feedback that helped us in our decision-making process. Once we chose our house and made an offer, Jennifer helped us through all the steps involved in achieving home ownership. We relied completely on her for invaluable advice. I would highly recommend Jennifer to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.
– Kathy and David
"Our house was very unique for the area. Jennifer gave us a lot of great coaching on how to price and present the house so it would sell. From realtor tours to online and print marketing, Jennifer was on top of it. In the end, the house did sell at a good price thanks to Jennifer. We would recommend her to anyone looking to sell or buy a home."
– Joel and Marcia

The game has grown big and healthy. This has forced the service providers to raise the game on prime habitats. Special emphasis is given to aoudads breeding and feeding. Exotic hunt service is on the rise because it achieves twin purposes. Give perfect atmosphere for challenge for hunters and give them an opportunity to bag trophies.
This type of hunting being a true exotic game, it is considerably expensive. The rule of the game is – rarer the species, higher are the prices. Hunters looking for a great challenge are not left disappointed rather they keep asking for more. Making an informed research before finalizing any package is a prudent move. Likewise, making a comparison of amenities and prices offered by different service providers will help you in narrowing down your choice. The hunting trip will thus become a lifetime experience for you.

what I agree to attend to...
Listening to Krista Tippett's new podcast, Becoming Wise, and she's interviewing Maria Popova of BrainPickings. Maria quotes William James,
My experience is what I agree to attend to.
I'm reminded of the iAnthology post I wrote last night, from the Prompt, "What Are You Going To Stop Doing?"
It came up just this afternoon, as an old computer I had restored for my wife stopped working, and all I had the energy to do was a few reboots, and that was it. She said to me, "You used to fix computers." It made me think about how all of that detail and "keeping up with it" that went with being everybody in my small circle's "go-to guy" for computer repair. I just wasn't interested--or rather there were other things I was so much more interested in, that I stopped doing that. If a few reboots won't fix it, it's not a device worth using. I'm too busy either teaching string games or figuring out how to teach string games better! And gardening, and a few other things...
Teaching--the experience of sharing the learning process with others--that's what I need most to attend to. For a while I thought I could lead a campaign to spread this curriculum I've developed, organize a study to demonstrate how well it works for all sorts of things that are measurable. Then those fantasies became much less interesting as I tried to break down what doing any of it would entail. And most of those steps are things I'm not great at, or that I don't really enjoy doing. It's the teaching that infuses me with joy, and that's what I need to focus on doing.

Abigail Breslin is now posing topless! The former child star was almost naked during a sexy shoot with photographer Tyler Shields.
"Abigail wanted to do something new, something iconic," Shields said of the 17-year-old actress. "People see her as innocent, but everyone grows up. After we made [the upcoming film] Final Girl together, we had a great relationship and it was easy to do this. She trusts me."
In one of the pictures, the actress sucks on a lollipop and stares into the camera while covering up her breasts with a sheet. In another, she leans over in a foamy bathtub. You can check out the Abigail Breslin topless photos here.
"Tyler's one of my really good friends," Breslin told E! Online. "He's like a brother to me. I love him. I did a movie with him last year and he's such a great guy and he's always the most fun to shoot with. I always have a good time."
This is not the first time Abigail Breslin has changed her look over the years. She first burst onto the scene as the child star of films like Little Miss Sunshine, which earned her an Oscar nomination at the ripe old age of 10. Since then, she has developed her personal style.
"I've kind of learned a lot about myself through clothing choices I've made," she said in August. "I love reading [fashion] magazines and mostly go on Tumblr for clothes, like fashion Tumblrs. It's so weird but I just love Tumblr so much and I don't even have one."
Before posing topless, one of Abigail Breslin's biggest changes was dyeing her hair blond. The actress admitted that many did not recognize her with her new locks.
"This girl [in the supermarket] was like, 'Oh my gosh, that's Abigail Breslin,' and her friend was like, 'No it's not, it looks nothing like her!" Breslin told E!
Still, Abigail Breslin insisted that she is not posing topless just to create distance from her younger self. "I don't make these conscious decisions to do it to like prove to the world that I'm grown up," she said on Thursday. "I think people see my work and see what I do and see that I'm grown up. But yeah, I'm almost 18. Every headline for the past three years has been 'Abigail Breslin All Grown Up,' so I am kind of growing up. I do want to try different things, but it's all for fun."

I am a baby vegan (2 years old) and traveller (4 months old) and I did not quite pick the most vegan-friendly countries to start my travels with. The decision to get out there unfortunately brought its obligatory compromises with it.
I would like to openly share my personal experiences with you, because it is what it is. And there is no use hiding from the truth.
I might get some bad feedback; but it's better if some of you feel less alone after reading this. I am a human being, and I'm not perfect. Honesty is one of the most important things in life (and then there is pie), so these are my confessions.
There is such thing as politeness; and food connects people like no other.
I have been travelling in countries I did not know the language of, and silently sharing food was sometimes the only form of communication that I had for days. People will look at you, try to talk to you and when they realize you don't understand, you will see them grabbing for anything they can find to offer. They are figuring out a way to show that they are your friends. It is impossible to avoid getting offered a cookie containing milk once in a while. Accepting it is a sign of appreciation for the person, especially if there is a language barrier between you. So if you are planning to stubbornly refuse, it is better to stay home.
We all know the stories of travellers having to eat spiders, rats, dogs…well, in general you will almost certainly be forced to eat something you really do not want to eat. Unless you don't want to have anything to do with the local culture…but again, in that case you'd better stay home.
I felt bad about myself the first time I accepted pancakes made by my pseudo-mother in Kazan. With all her love, her eyes hopefully begged me: "Oh, you don't eat eggs? But you are going to try at least one, aren't you?" This was my first egg since I switched to veganism, and it felt extremely weird. I was so sorry, I felt like a traitor. But…who did I betray? I clearly made a personal choice by putting the happiness of this person higher in the ranking than my own beliefs. I did not want to eat chicken menstruation, but that situation forced me to do so.
I don't want to be a bitter person who has no idea what grey looks like, because the "black or white" mentality is the main reason we are still at war today. So, as part of the cultural exchange, I have learned I need to make some compromises once in a while. It is beautiful to be able to hold firm in your beliefs, but it's also good to know that -just sometimes- refusing things is not sustainable at all.
While travelling, you encounter settlements that have nothing to do with the whole industry destroying our planet at all. They are living in harmony with nature and have never known otherwise. There are ways to avoid getting non-vegan food offered, but you need to be informed before someone traps your polite heart in a motion of good will.
On the road, it is important to carry food to share. This way, if someone offers you a cookie, you can refuse by directly offering your own goodies. If someone offers you a coffee in the Transiberian train for example: even though you really feel like one, refuse and ask for water instead because they destroy the perfection of that black liquid gold with milk and a ton of sugar. Sourly I drank a cup and my train friends smiled widely having me in their select group of people munching the time away.
On the Siberian farm I truly enjoyed the moment when one of the guys went out to buy one Snickers. He carefully cut it into pieces of 1 cm, so everyone in the room could have a bite. Sitting by a crackling fire, we all adored the small piece of peanuts and chocolate melting in our mouths, knowing that this guilty pleasure was not to leave the room.
Throughout Russia I could strategically exclude meat with my acts of politeness, but the first night that I arrived in Mongolia, they really got me good. On the way to his house, my host was proudly explaining to me how much effort his mother had put into a vegan meal especially for me. Everyone in the family would eat what I was eating! But the excitement vanished as soon as it had come. I got a bowl of noodle soup in front of me with tiny pieces of meat floating all over it. It smelled like a dead horse and my stomach turned. The entire family was looking at me, hoping that I would love their creation. I felt obliged to eat it and even pretended to like it. It was truly horrible.
I want to say that I hugged a toilet that night, but the hole in the ground did not really allow me to. I carefully explained to them that I enjoyed the meal very much, but I preferred to cook for myself in the future. After two vegan years, I felt the effects of the meat instantly. I was sick, cranky and carried a deep anger for days. I could truly feel the distressed soul of the animal inside of me.
This is inevitable if you go off-road. I remember myself being dragged into a Ger to take shelter from the cold in the Gobi desert and having to sip a glass of yak-milk while they were staring at me. Ethically there is nothing wrong with freshly squeezed milk from the way they live, but the taste was not so pleasant.
There is so much stuff I am wearing right now that is not as vegan as I would like it to be. BUT, this is the road, this is Siberia, this is the Mongolian Steppe, and this is survival.
I needed to wear wool to keep me warm in order to cross the mountains by horse. I could have bought vegan-friendly travel gear, but since I left on a very low budget, I needed to make do with the stuff I had, which was: no coat and second hand clothes. The goal is not consuming more in order to follow the 'rules', but to try to live as sustainable as possible by making the right choices.
I did not refuse the chicken bone earring someone made for me, and yes, I am wearing it right now. I see it as up cycling, since the girl who gave it to me made it with a bone she had found. The comments have been numerous, but I really know exactly what I am doing. If it would have been a human bone, I would wear it as well.
At home, I had easy access to everything that allowed me to maintain my vegan lifestyle without any problems. In this context, I would not be wearing the historical vest nor secretly share cookies with strangers. At home, I had everything under control by speaking the language and knowing the climate.
The scarce areas I have been travelling to in this hardcore winter weather forced me to be flexible and see everything from a different perspective. What I am trying to say is, that the compromises you need to make are very hard sometimes, but never overrule the bigger picture. You will have to do disgusting things once in a while.
For any meat-eater who likes to point fingers and break down what I am trying to discuss, I laugh very much in your faces for all the times you accidentally had a vegan meal. We all have our priorities, so live and let live, and maybe one day you will open your eyes, just like I did.
Stumble, fall and rise up.
These are not my trusted surroundings, and all beginnings are difficult.

CHERRY VALLEY — The economy is the Cherry Valley Library's own Catch-22.
CHERRY VALLEY — The economy is the Cherry Valley Library's own Catch-22.
On one hand, the economic downturn can be credited for soaring growth in library usage. On the other, it's the very thing that prevents the district from affording to grow beyond its walls.
Library officials say they will continue to develop a plan for expansion as they wait for a time when the district and taxpayers can afford the cost of growth.
The district wants to double the size of its 13,300-square-foot building, which was constructed in 1989.
"We're still plotting, slowly but surely. Like anyone else, we're watching what happens in the economic world," board President Kristin Olson said. "That's our biggest hurdle at this point."
The library staff has had eight planning meetings with David Hagney of Hagney Architects since September and the board of trustees meets with the architect monthly. The library also hosted six meetings with the public to get public input on the expansion. The next step, officials said, is the development of a design for expansion.
Meanwhile, the district continues to search for ways to fund the expansion. A quest for grants and stimulus funds has come up empty so far. District officials know now is not the time to ask the public for more money, said library Director Eve Kirk.
"We all know that it wouldn't be in anyone's interest to pursue that at this time," Kirk said. "We wanted to start work sooner than later, but the reality is that's not going to happen."
The district's main source of revenue is a property tax. Property owners pay a rate of about 28 cents per $100 in assessed value of a home. The last time voters approved an increase for the general fund levy was in March 2006, when a 6.2-cent increase for the general fund coincided with a 6.2-cent decrease in building bonds, keeping the total tax rate the same. About 55 percent of voters approved.
The library had record numbers of visitors and cardholders last year.
"An inverse proportion exists between the economy and library use; when the economy is going great, library use is so-so; when the economy is down, library use soars as people turn to the original community resource that helps you save money and live better," Kirk wrote in her winter newsletter.
The district also boasts more books, videos and other materials than ever before.
"We're trying to continue to be creative with how our existing space is used," Olson said. "Moving things a little bit this way, a little bit that way, or adding another shelf here and there."
Some common requests from the public during six forums with the architect were for more parking, sidewalks, expanded children's department and a teen-readers area. Officials expect to hear more feedback once designs are complete. A rough first draft of the design might come by next month, Kirk said.
Staff writer Kevin Haas can be reached at email@example.com or 815-987-1354.

If we're not mistaken, Monet is French for "blockbuster." Appropriately enough, this surveythe biggest the city's had in 30 yearsbrings together 60 works wangled from public and private collections, including one of the artist's famed Gare Saint-Lazare paintings. Two of them have never even been displayed in public: the Italian landscape Villas at Bordighera and a portrait of Monet's father, Claude Adolphe. Plus, the entrance fee's half as much as the Met's suggested donation.

Hey Guys,
Boy, have I got something swoon worthy to show you today…
Sexy, right? I LOVE an almost kiss cover.
Rock star drummer Bishop Riley doesn't have a problem. Celebrities—especially ones suffering from anxiety—deserve to party, right? Wrong. After taking a few too many pills, Bishop wakes up in the hospital facing an intervention. If he wants to stay in the band, he'll have to detox while under house arrest in Seldon, Alaska.
Hockey player Penny Jones can't imagine a life outside of Seldon. Though she has tons of scholarship offers, the last thing she wants is to leave. Who'll take care of her absent-minded gramps? Not her mother, who can't even be bothered with the new tenants next door.
Penny's too hung up on another guy to deal with Bishop's crappy attitude, and Bishop's too busy
sneaking pills to care. Until he starts hanging out with Gramps. If Bishop wants a chance with the fiery girl next door, he'll have to admit he has a problem and kick it. Too bad addiction is hard to kick…and Bishop's about to run out of time.
I cannot wait to read this one!!!!!

I was born and raised in Beijing, China, but educated in the North American education system. There was a period during my time in Canada when I struggled with my identity. I didn't know whether to introduce myself as Claire, a name that I've adopted when I was thirteen and is closely associated with my teenage, character-building years, or 昊 (pronounced as "hao"), the name my parents gave me when I was born.
I've now learned to embrace both sides of myself and came to appreciate the privileges I enjoy when I swiftly switch between two languages.
I'm now studying architecture at McGill University in Montreal, Canada. When I'm not in the studio doing work, I enjoy rock climbing, cooking and sunset hunting.

Precision linear motion drive features thrust capacity from 7 to 800 pounds
The Precision Motion Drive System is a Model RG rolling ring linear drive integrated with a motion controller for precision linear motion applications. The Precision Motion Drive is fully programmable and meets application requirements for precision winding/spooling, pick-and-place machines, X-Y coordinate tool movement, metrology equipment and other machinery providing fast, accurate positioning and reciprocating linear motion.
Linear drive with adjustable pitch enables variable speed without changing drive motor speed
All Uhing Model RG linear drives now feature a manual pitch control which permits a 10:1 adjustment of the linear pitch of the drive unit. Each of seventeen Model RG drive units has a specific maximum linear pitch. This is the linear distance the drive will move on the shaft per one revolution of the shaft. The pitch control lets users turn the pitch down in 0.01 increments across one hundred discrete settings. For example the model RG30 drive has a maximum pitch of 26.0 mm (1.02 inches) and may be turned down to 2.6 mm (0.10 inches). In applications where it is desirable or necessary to keep the drive motor running at a constant speed, the adjustable pitch feature enables a variable speed drive system without requiring changes or adjustments to the drive motor speed.

Adam and I went riding the day after Thanksgiving. Since we had the day off and all. Well, Adam had the day off at least, and I made an executive decision that the day would be a holiday.
It was raining lightly when we loaded up the bikes, but we figured that wouldn't be a problem. By the time we got to Metcalf, it was actually raining. Nonetheless, our bikes are built for this weather, and we'd never actually ridden in mud before, so off we went.
This is how we looked before we started riding:
And this is how we looked after three hours of playing in the mud:
Unfortunately, the downside was that after all that, it took about an hour and a half to wash/scrape all the mud off our bikes.

Handicapping potential successors for Steve Lavin has been a recreational sport for months. Even Lavin got into the spirit at one point, rattling off a list of contenders for a job he still holds. A thumbnail glance -- in alphabetical order -- of the leading candidates:
His top credential is that UCLA Athletic Director Dan Guerrero hired him once before, picking Douglass as UC Irvine's coach in 1997 when Guerrero was AD at Irvine. Douglass, 53, won three Division II national championships at Cal State Bakersfield, but until he gets the Anteaters to the NCAA tournament -- they lost Friday in the semifinals of the Big West tournament and have no hope of an at-large bid -- he would be difficult to sell to Bruin fans.
Another outside candidate in the mold of UC system coaches who have won a Division II title is UC Santa Barbara's Bob Williams, who won a national championship at UC Davis and guided Santa Barbara to the NCAA tournament last year.
Gonzaga slipped just a bit this season but probably still is headed for the NCAA tournament, and you can't argue with Few's record. Last season he led the tiny Jesuit school to a No. 6 national ranking, and in four years, he has a record of 104-28, with two NCAA Sweet 16s in his first three seasons.

joining the ranks
Finally! I have been wanting to start this blog for months and I am just getting around to doing it. With baby Claire finally here, I thought it would be a good time to start tracking what is going on in our crazy lives.
This is my first week at home with all three girls and no help. I have to say it has been so much easier than I expected. Claire has been such an easy baby so far...it has been a huge blessing. With Madeline just turning two (and all that implies!) I was terrified of adding another one to the mix. So far so good...I am keeping my fingers crossed!
I took the girls to the movies this morning. Everything was great until Madeline ran out of popcorn and lost all interest in being there. She started screaming "don't like it, go bye bye" at the top of her lungs and I had to drag all three kids out of the movie halfway through. Fortunately, Emma was easily bribed with the promise of a trip to McDonald's afterwards and left willingly. Somehow I don't think that I'll be brave enough to try the movies again next week.
Ryan's grandparents come in from California tonight to meet Claire. We are excited to spend the next week with them....it's always good to have family around!

We were here for lunch over the weekend.
Tuna tartare was pretty good. Refreshing with their avocado cream.
There was a squid ink pasta with orange scent. A weekend special and a robust flavour from the flavour of the ink coming through. The orange scent was apparently made by crumbled dessicated orange peel (those powdery stuff that might have looked like bottarga) which lent their flavour to the pasta. I thought it might have been improved to have some fresh orange peel grated over the noodles too. Speaking of oranges, I still wonder if their orange risotto will ever make its way back to their menu.
The presentation of their ciriole alla Norcina has changed a little. They've gone with the truffle puree smudges on the sides of their bigger plates which has made it a little fancy but not much else has changed. It did feel less saucy previously and the old presentation had a more rustic appeal.
Etna seemed to be using capsule coffee machines. Honestly quite surprised at their rather untraditional option. The strongest capsule that they had unfortunately couldn't make a good affogato. There simply wasn't the strength and aroma that could sufficiently pair with the creamy ice cream. Senso is still the king here. Hell, even Otto's Deli Fresh has better.

Pete Saunders continues to write some of the more thought-provoking posts regarding urban design, economics & redevelopment. His posts shed some new light and discussion about the challenges of our older metros in the rust belt, but also pointing some possible ways forward. Here he touts the advantages of Rust Belt cities:
How do Rust Belt metros differ, and how are they situated for future economic growth? First, they already have many of the amenities that Sun Belt and second-tier metros aspire to -- the sports, the tourist and cultural attractions. They have the transportation infrastructure in place, even if it requires significant investment for necessary improvements. After decades of decline, they now have cheap housing and available land.
But they also have two other factors that weigh heavily in their favor. They have an "authenticity" and "rootedness" factor that Sun Belt cities often lack because of their relatively recent development. They also have a level of familiarity among Sun Belt migrants, often because of family connections, causing people to revisit them.
In other words, the Rust Belt will become the nation's leaders in an emerging "growth without growth" phenomenon.

Shadow pensions minister Nigel Waterson has slated the Government's Pensions Bill, released today, saying it contains no incentive to save for retirement.
He claimed the Government's approach is like "tackling a fire by promising fire insurance for the future instead of calling the fire brigade".
Specifically, the Tories say the Bill will do nothing to reverse the spread of means testing of state benefits for pensioners and only contains minor reforms where "almost everyone" who responded to the Pensions Green Paper called for fundamental reform.
Speaking straight after the release of the bill Waterson said: "The Bill includes nothing to persuade a single employer to keep open an existing pension scheme, let alone start a new one for their employees."

I'm with you on this all the way sister! I like to say I am anti-prejudice. Hating because of race, gender, or sexual preference is just plain ignorant, and tends to be something that fires me up.
You should report this person before deleting them. I think there is some way to do that on Facebook. No one should be able to spread hate this way.

"Mid-Term" Season: Test Anxiety
Check out more posts from NeuroScience, Inc.
By Dr. Lisa Bateman
Tests, quizzes, and mid-term and final exams are frequently used methods of assessment to measure knowledge in the educational setting. As children progress through school, the emphasis placed upon these assessments and the weight which they carry in the grading system tends to increase. In addition to teacher-administrated assessments, schools also increasingly emphasize the importance of standardized assessments (e.g., the Standards of Learning (SOLs) in Virginia) with the educational movement towards accountability. As a result, students are routinely faced with school-based and standardized assessments that have a significant impact on their grades and academic trajectory.
Although it is typical to feel some nervousness before taking a test, some students experience significant test anxiety that can affect performance and overall quality of life. Test anxiety differs from normal nervousness in the severity of the symptoms and the impact that these symptoms have on the child's life. Common symptoms of test anxiety include physical symptoms (e.g., nausea, rapid heartbeat, shortness of breath, feeling faint, diarrhea, excessive sweating), emotional symptoms (e.g., feelings of fear of failure, feelings of helplessness), and cognitive symptoms (e.g., difficulty concentrating, negative thoughts about performance). Symptoms can occur in the days leading up to the test but tend to become most severe immediately prior to the test. Test anxiety may be exacerbated by a lack of preparation, but it often occurs even when a child has taken time to prepare for the test in advance. It is often accompanied by a fear of failure and can worsen over time if the child experiences repeated difficulty with test taking.
There are many things that parents can help their children do to manage test anxiety, including:
Helping Your Child Prepare For the Test Early & Often
Parents can work with their children to develop positive study habits. Often, when a child experiences test anxiety, he or she may put off studying until the last minute in order to avoid the anxiety that accompanies thinking about and preparing for the test. Parents can help their children break up studying into manageable chunks and prepare for the test by studying for small increments of time over the course of several days.
Teaching Your Child Good Test-Taking Skills
Although schools focus on teaching students what they need to know for tests, they often focus less on preparing students for how to take tests. Parents can work with their children to practice reading directions carefully and developing a strategy for working through the test. For example, rather than getting "stuck" on a difficult question, which can lead to feelings of discouragement and use too much of the time allotted for a test, students should go through the entire test, answering questions that they know and marking questions they are unsure of to return to later. Parents should encourage children to check their work at the end of the test in order to catch errors, but parents may want to caution their children from "over-thinking," especially with multiple-choice questions, as this may lead a child to change their previously correct answer to an incorrect answer. Parents can also help their children prepare for tests by simulating test conditions when studying, such as practicing answering questions or drafting essays following the same time constraints that would be used at school.
Teaching Your Child Relaxation Techniques
It is best to routinely practice relaxation in calm settings to master these techniques before calling upon them in stressful situations. Parents can incorporate relaxation techniques, such as deep breathing and progressive muscle relaxation, as part of regular daily routines, such as the bedtime routine. When children are feeling stressed before an exam, parents can remind them to utilize these techniques when studying and taking the exam.
Challenging Unhelpful Thinking
If a child has a history of test anxiety that has affected performance on tests in the past, he or she may already feel defeated when approaching the next test. Parents can help children to recognize anxious thoughts (e.g., "I know I'm going to fail because I always do badly on tests") and replace them with more helpful thoughts (e.g., "I prepared well for this test by paying attention in class, doing my homework, and studying. I know the material, and I will try my best to stay calm and focus on the test."). Parents can also help children keep tests in perspective by considering other factors which contribute to the student's grade (e.g., homework, participation, projects) and remembering that self-worth should not depend on a test grade.
Advocating for Your Child's Needs in the School Setting
Parents can collaborate with their child's teacher in order to identify appropriate accommodations that can decrease test anxiety. For example, students who worry about finishing tests on time may be given extra time so that they can focus on the material rather than the time limit. Other students may worry about being the last to finish or may be easily distracted by what other students are doing in the classroom, and teachers may consider allowing them to work on tests in a quieter environment. Parents may consider collaborating with the school counselor or school psychologist to identify if the school can provide any other supports to decrease test anxiety.
Test anxiety can have a significant effect on performance and self-esteem, but children can learn strategies to manage and gradually challenge test anxiety over time.

No More Hope for Hope Island Lighthouse
Timothy Harrison

The faded-out sign that once welcomed visitors to ...
Not that long ago, there was hope that Ontario, Canada's 1884 Hope Island Lighthouse would be saved. We even wrote about it in a story titled "More Hope for Hope Island" in the May 2000 edition of Lighthouse Digest.

But there is no longer any hope for Hope Island Lighthouse. It has been demolished. The Canadian government decided that the buildings at the lighthouse station were too far gone to be saved, so they hired Priestly Demolition of King, Ontario to level the buildings, remove the debris, and bring the lighthouse site back to its natural state on the 400-acre island in the Georgian Bay of Lake Huron near Midland, Ontario.

Back in 2002, some work was done by a group called the Huron Lightstation Preservation Society to cap the lighthouse tower and secure the site to protect it from further deterioration from the elements. However, the group folded and no further work was done at the lighthouse.

A previous effort to save the lighthouse back in the 1970s also failed. At that time, a Dr. Bob Stebbins became the owner of the abandoned lighthouse when he was the only bidder for it at a government auction. But there was one stipulation to the auction; he had to move the lighthouse within one year or its ownership would revert back to the government. When Dr. Stebbins found out that it would cost $100,000 to move the lighthouse, he gave up on the plan.

For the most part, family life at Hope Island Light Station was similar to other island lighthouse stations, with the exception of its fourth lighthouse keeper, a fellow named John Hoar, who was described by Archille Marchildon, the son of the fifth keeper, as a "crazy bugger." John Hoar, who was originally the lighthouse keeper at Christian Island Lighthouse, became the lighthouse keeper at Hope Island in 1891 when he switched positions with Allan Collins, the third keeper of Hope Island. However, a dispute between Collins and Hoar escalated to the point where the Lighthouse Superintendent had to intervene.

But the dispute did not stop, and John Hoar, who was described as an ill-tempered man, kept the dispute going to the point that he was fired from his job, and in 1893, he was replaced by Thomas Marchildon. However, Marchildon couldn't take his job right away; he; was held at bay by a shotgun-wielding Hoar who refused to give up the lighthouse to its newly appointed keeper. It took a few weeks for reinforcements to arrive on the island, and John Hoar eventually relinquished control of the lighthouse. But John Hoar's bizarre behavior did not stop. He stayed on the island and built himself a log cabin to live in while pursuing a fishing career. For reasons unknown, one time he even took a shot at keeper Thomas Marchildron. Exactly what else happened in the meantime is unclear, but what is known is that keeper Thomas Marchildon wrote a letter to the authorities stating that John Hoar had committed a rape on Hope Island and should be considered dangerous and possibly insane. Shortly thereafter, John Hoar was arrested and jailed, charged with having improper relations with a thirteen-year- old girl.

Daniel Campkin, project manager for Priestly Demolition said that although the demolition project was a pretty straightforward demolition job, a significant amount of planning and work had to be done just to get the barge with all the equipment out to the uninhabited island.

The work included demolition, removal and disposal of the lighthouse, boathouse, fog signal building, generators building, wharf, and the two keeper's homes. Mr. Campkin said "The buildings were in very rough shape. We could only salvage a few items, such as doors. The lantern had been removed from the tower years ago. All debris from the demolition including the wood, concrete and brick had to all be removed from the island requiring the barge having to make several trips to the mainland. The lighthouse site then had to be rough graded as close to its natural state as possible and they had to relocate existing rip-rap along the shoreline."

The Combination of the Investigative and Prosecutorial Function and the Adjudicative Function in EC Antitrust Enforcement: A Legal and Economic Analysis
27 Pages Posted: 22 Dec 2008
Date Written: December 30, 2003
In the current system of EC antitrust enforcement, the European Commission combines the investigative and prosecutorial function with the adjudicative or decision-making function. The purpose of this article is to analyse the advantages and disadvantages of this system, in comparison with a system in which the adjudicative function is separated from the investigative and prosecutorial function, such as the US system in which the Department of Justice or the Federal Trade Commission (under the pre-merger notification programme) investigates and prosecutes before a federal court. The first chapter of the article contains a description of the current EC system, a comparative description of the US system, an overview of the legal debate on the compatibility of the current EC system with Article 6 ECHR and on the scope for change under the current EC Treaty, and an introduction to the wider policy debate. The second chapter deals with accuracy, in particular the question whether there is a risk of prosecutorial bias in a system in which the investigative and prosecutorial function is combined with the adjudicative function. The third chapter deals with administrative cost, in particular the question whether a system in which the European Commission would prosecute before the Community Courts would be more expensive or slower than the current system. The fourth and last chapter contains a summary and conclusion.

Timberlake rules out 'N Sync reunion, Janet Jackson appearance at Super Bowl
MINNEAPOLIS -- Justin Timberlake was asked about a bromance with Tom Brady, a possible 'N Sync reunion and serenaded with "Happy Birthday" during a press conference to promote his return to the Super Bowl halftime show, but the superstar didn't get a question about the wardrobe malfunction that rocked the world.
Timberlake ruled out any chance his former boy band 'N Sync would join him on Sunday or other potential special guests -- including Janet Jackson herself. Timberlake revealed only that his band, The Tennessee Kids, would join him onstage and predicted a show that will include things "never done before."
"We're going to take it seriously that we want everyone to have a ton of fun. That's my main objective with the halftime show," he said Thursday.
Timberlake is returning to the halftime show 14 years after the "wardrobe malfunction" with Jackson caused a national controversy.
Timberlake was a special guest of Jackson during her performance when he ripped off a piece of her clothing and revealed her bare nipple. Jackson later described it as an unintended "wardrobe malfunction." CBS, which aired the Super Bowl that year, drew a $550,000 fine from the Federal Communications Commission that was later overturned.
During his brief press conference, Timberlake admitted he had a "man-crush" on Brady, the New England Patriots quarterback, complimenting his skills and hair. But when asked if he was rooting for the Patriots or the Philadelphia Eagles, he punted: "Go, Pack, go," he said, referencing the Green Bay Packers, who didn't make the playoffs at all.
He also praised Minneapolis-born Prince, calling the late superstar "in my opinion, the greatest all-around musician I can think of in popular culture."
Timberlake will be making his third Super Bowl musical appearance -- a record. He has a new album out and will host a listening party at Paisley Park, Prince's old estate.
"There's a lot of bucket list things that are happening this week for me, and that's definitely at the top of that list," he said. "I get to walk the hallowed, sacred ground Paisley Park."
On the topic of special guests, Timberlake did note that Las Vegas oddsmakers have speculated he might be joined onstage by 'N Sync, Jay-Z, Chris Stapleton or Jackson. But Timberlake said his band was "my special guest and I'm excited to rock the stage."
Timberlake turned 37 years old on Wednesday, and some of the media serenaded him with "Happy Birthday."

Did your business manufacture or import more than 25,000 lbs. of chemical substances (including byproducts) at any single site in calendar year 2011? If so, your company may be subject to EPA's 2012 Chemical Data Reporting Rule, 40 CFR Part 711, under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) and you should have filed a submission to EPA on or before August 13, 2012.
The Chemical Data Reporting (CDR) Rule requires periodic reporting by chemical manufacturers and importers. In particular, the CDR Rule requires submissions every four years, whereas the predecessor rule (i.e., the 2006 Inventory Update Rule) triggered submissions at five-year intervals.
Under 40 CFR 711.15(b):
- If 2011 site-specific production volume exceeded 25,000 lb, a manufacturer or importer must submit "manufacturing data" for all reportable chemical substances for calendar year 2011 and production volume only for calendar year 2010; and
- If 2011 site-specific production volume exceeded 100,000 lb, a manufacturer (including importers) must report "processing and use data," for calendar year 2011, for all reportable chemical substances.
Since 2007, EPA has collected more than $2.3 million in civil penalties and fines in conjunction with 43 enforcement actions under TSCA's chemical reporting and recordkeeping regulations. Notably, EPA has brought enforcement actions more than four years after the 2006 Inventory Update Rule, including three recent enforcement actions in Region 3 and Region 6 with fines totaling $362,113.

I have always thought 1940's swim suits are just the cutest! I finally used a trip to the beach as an excuse to make one.
I vacillated over what fabric to use, as the 40's are out of my regular purview. I looked into stretchy blends. I looked into rayons. I looked into wools... And by the time I spent all this time hemming and hawing over fabrics, it was going to be too late to order anything in time. So, I settled on some cute checked linen I'd had in the stash for ages. Time to use it!
For the top and skirt, I used Simplicity 1022, unaltered. For the turban, I used Mrs. Depew's 1940's Turban pattern.
I have pretty good luck fitting in most vintage size 34 patterns, without having to adjust too much. I love when that works out because it really helps me see how vintage patterns were designed to fit, since, as I said, this late in the 20th century is not my area of expertise. But I'm learning! Its my new goal!
The bottoms are comprised of a skirt over trunks. They are attached to each other at the waist and lapped placket, which closes with snaps and a button. Actually, the one alteration I made to the pattern was I cut the waistband out of a straight strip of linen, instead of using the shaped pieces that came with the pattern. It was simpler and quicker to measure and fit this kind of waistband, than baste up the shaped one, make sure it wasn't too big, etc etc.
I chose to make the trunks out of a stretchy knit blend, just like is done in an original 40's swim suit I have in my collection. I'll share pictures in a separate post. I used a pair of jersey pillowcases from Target for the trunks (I found the sunglasses there, too). They have elastic around the leg openings. These are sooooo soft and comfy!
The inside and outside of the top. It had options to tie like a halter, or add buttons to the band and holes to the ends of the neck ties and criss-cross across the back. I added the buttons, but forgot to add the button holes! Easy to add later.
In my original suit, the top is lined with knit. I can see that being very comfy!
The turban is my favorite part! I think it made the outfit!
There was actually a lot of work that went into the turban. The edges are all narrow hemmed, by hand, as was called for in the pattern. I added wig clips to keep it on my head. I suppose one could also add little combs, or pin it on. It definitely needs something to secure it.
And because it's no fun unless you turn at least one pic black and white!
Pics of that original suit to come. Cheers, all!
