Statement of Purpose
It has been a difficult year for Canadian archaeology. Since the last AGM in May our Association has witnessed massive cuts to Parks Canada and our federal archaeology program and changes to the Museums Act which threaten the viability of archaeology and anthropology and their contributions to Canada's heritage and history at the national and regional levels, including at the Canadian Museum of Civilization, soon to be the Canadian Museum of History. Equally destructive are the cuts that have been made to the national archives in Ottawa and archives and library programmes across the country. These issues are symptomatic of the current federal governments' general stance, which seems to be bent upon attacking science and reason in Canada. Our membership has raised concerns about these issues and indicated that the Canadian Archaeological Association should take a stronger stance against these changes in order to promote the objectives of this organization.
The small size of the volunteer executive means that we cannot address these issues with the urgency and attention that they deserve. As such, the executive has decided to create a Public Advocacy Committee.
According to section 126.96.36.199. of the CAA executive manual the President is "empowered to appoint committees (and committee chairpersons) which are deemed necessary in the attainment of the Association's objects." The President is further empowered to direct the attention of the executive and appointed committees to matters of concern to the Association.
The mandate of the CAA Public Advocacy Committee will be to support the CAA's objective "to serve as the national association capable of promoting activities advantageous to archaeology and discouraging activities detrimental to archaeology." The CAA executive will review all materials prior to dissemination to the membership and the public.
In this capacity the Public Advocacy Committee will:
- Co-ordinate input from the membership on advocating for the promotion of archaeological heritage, and against activities that are potentially damaging to archaeological heritage.
- Develop a network of individuals to develop public awareness and encourage broad-based lobbying to reduce the current destructive government developments and to improve the protection and development of archaeological resources.
- Develop liaisons and work with related organizations such as provincial archaeological societies and historical societies.
- Produce materials to be disseminated through appropriate public channels, including but not limited to government offices, national and local media, and the internet.
- Additional activities as determined by the committee and the membership.

It started with just a few whack job ultra leftist "professors" and "psychiatrists," but now it is gaining steam in the more mainstream liberal hive mind. "Pedophilia is just another sexual orientation and the discrimination must stop." This is the cut and paste formula that they used to normalize homosexuality and later transsexuality. Although the Slippery Slope argument is a logical fallacy, here we are. And as with the homosexuals and transsexuals that came before, you can expect that very soon there will be celebrities and politicians who will start championing for these "victims of hate." After all, Hollywood and DC are rife with pedophilia.
And we must declare to them all: "You Shall Come No Further!"
Do not give this abomination a platform. Do not take the approach of "if it neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg." Do not allow advocacy. Do not allow champions.
Can you imagine? You have a beautiful young daughter. She is the light of your life and your absolute joy. She looks like you, but acts like her mother. And she is friendly. Everyone dotes on her. And then one day, she catches the eye of some demon-possessed man who sees her as more than just a sweet child. He befriends your family. Gains your trust. Maybe he has kids of his own that he brings over to play. You begin to trust him. And one day you trust him with the care of your daughter. You drop her off to play while you run an errand. But when you pick her up, she is strangely quiet and distant. She doesn't want to eat dinner. When you go to put her to bed, she tells you. Something bad happened. At first, you don't believe it. Surely she just didn't understand or made a mistake. You ask her again what happened, and the reality starts to set in. You see red. You rush out of the house. Your wife calls the police. In a full rage, you go to your friend's home. You beat on the door. He answers, and you leap at him. You beat him until you can't lift your arm. The cops arrive. And they arrest you. Your lawyer explains that as a protected class, the pedophile will not be charged with a crime, but you are being prosecuted for a hate crime.
Crazy? Surely this is the paranoid ranting of a far right religious lunatic. And I bet you never thought that a woman would face charges for defending herself from a violent Muslim rapist either. But it wasn't that long ago that homosexuality and transsexuality were medically classified as mental disorders. And in all the left's searching for a biological origin for these sexual orientations, no new evidence has ever been produced. The classifications just faded away, as they became more socially acceptable. And now the same people who made these perverts acceptable to society at large are starting in on making child molesters acceptable.
Not on my watch!
I can't tell you to tar and feather anyone who advocates for pedophilia. I can't tell you to lynch these messengers from Satan. But I will tell you to do whatever it takes to shut these people down. Hard. If there was ever something worth taking action against, it has to be this. We can't afford to hope that reason or basic human decency will win in the end. We can't trust in our leaders to make the right choices. Leaders change. And progressives are masters of wearing issues down inch by inch. But not for this. Never for this. They Shall Come No Further.

Art, by Yasmina Reza
Bringing it down a couple of notches...
Monday, August 18, 2003
I have seen the show ART approximately 4 times as of this writing. Including one Broadway production and the celebrated production at the Alliance. I have to admit that in seeing this production in the past and the one thing that always seemed to bother me was the aristocratic tendencies of the cast. ART was obviously written with a "higher class" society in mind. The use of playful puns and over descriptive language makes this an actors play, not for one whose vocabulary does not include words like "complicity" or "Carcassone."
Thank you to Center Stage North for taking a hard to understand script and making it understandable.
I have seen a few shows at Center Stage before, and must compliment on the set up of the theater. The set was simple, but allowed the audience to feel as though they we were not just watching, but rather sitting with these three men involved in the conversation.
Pollage, Cerio and Bigger do a wonderful job with this challenging script and dialogue. Each ones strengths added to the overall interpretation of the play. They took an affluent play and brought it down to a normal everyday, and more importantly, understandable level. As opposed to the manicured stylized effect of productions on Broadway and at the Alliance, this brought out the action of the play and made it real. It was a pleasure to watch these three men bounce off of each other.
Pollage's tantrums added a perfect life to the cranky Marc. Cerio is a master at bringing an audience right into his plight with his monologue and comedic talent. And Bigger, although somewhat flamboyant, played the comical relief of Ivan to the max. His facial expressions and body movements added just the perfect touch.
I didn't want to just watch these three interact, I wanted to hang out with them.
So Bravo! to Center Stage North, for remembering that the more we as an audience can relate to a performance, the more enjoyable it will be.

pimp my ride (nanna-styles)
12 comments:
Oh gawwwwwd your car is gorgeous!!!!! My nana had a crazy-fast 1450cc Mini Cooper for years and she crocheted all the seat covers and some cushion covers for the back too. She drove like she was at the front of a Formula One pack so the covers may or may not have soaked up some little girl wee. Haaaaaa!!! xoxoxoxoReplyDelete
hehehehe this is the greatest thing i've seen in a long time! <3ReplyDelete
that looks fantastic...what a brilliant idea and what a charming way to stand out of all the other boring carsReplyDelete
I used to have my soft toys in the back of my car and I used to buckle them in seat belts like they were mini humans. Was all fun and games until my car got stolen. I got the car back eventually but the bastards took my Bert and Ernie soft toys. Poor Bert and Ernie I hope they are OK. May your Nanna rugs and cushions stay safe XXXReplyDelete
Love the pimped up ride! Hope you are feeling better!ReplyDelete
when I eventually learnt to drive I'll be sharing a suzuki swift from 1999 which is beetle green! I think I'll have to Nana pimp mine like you've done with yours!ReplyDelete
What a great idea! Much cooler than the pile old beach towels and I don't know what that my husband keeps in the back seat of his car. Guess the trunk isn't good enough. As I don't drive, I have no say about the car.ReplyDelete
Loving the nana pimp job! Our wheels are both 1970s bangers and the interiors are naturally groovy already, but I never turn down the odd pair of leopard skin dice or nodding dogs! xReplyDelete
It's so cute!!! What a good idea!! Having to drive a bland modern car is one of the greatest tragedies in my life (not really). I want to reupholster my seats with Mexican oilcloth, one of these days...ReplyDelete
hahaha, awesome!!ReplyDelete
omg I missed this post.ReplyDelete
HOW CUTE!! aww man I love it.
My car is so ugly (inside and out - it's my first so its supposed to be though right? lol) It needs cuteness!

These are difficult times for the deficit scolds who have dominated policy discussion for almost three years. One could almost feel sorry for them, if it weren't for their role in diverting attention from the ongoing problem of inadequate recovery, and thereby helping to perpetuate catastrophically high unemployment.
What has changed? For one thing, the crisis they predicted keeps not happening. Far from fleeing U.S. debt, investors have continued to pile in, driving interest rates to historical lows. Beyond that, suddenly the clear and present danger to the American economy isn't that we'll fail to reduce the deficit enough; it is, instead, that we'll reduce the deficit too much. For that's what the
Given these realities, the deficit-scold movement has lost some of its clout. That movement, by the way, is a hydra-headed beast, comprising many organizations that turn out, on inspection, to be financed and run by more or less the same people; dig down into many of these groups' back stories and you will, in particular, find
But the deficit scolds aren't giving up. Now yet another organization, Fix the Debt, is campaigning for cuts to
So should we take this latest push seriously? No — and not just because these people, aside from exhibiting a lot of hypocrisy, have been wrong about everything so far. The truth is that at a fundamental level the crisis story they're trying to sell doesn't make sense.Continue reading the main story
You've heard the story many times: Supposedly, any day now investors will lose faith in America's ability to come to grips with its budget failures. When they do, there will be a run on
This sounds plausible to many people, because it's roughly speaking what happened to
For we have our own currency — and almost all of our debt, both private and public, is denominated in dollars. So our government, unlike the Greek government, literally can't run out of money. After all, it can print the stuff. So there's almost no risk that America will default on its debt — I'd say no risk at all if it weren't for the possibility that Republicans would once again try to hold the nation hostage over the debt ceiling.
But if the U.S. government prints money to pay its bills, won't that lead to inflation? No, not if the economy is still depressed.
Now, it's true that investors might start to expect higher inflation some years down the road. They might also push down the value of the dollar. Both of these things, however, would actually help rather than hurt the U.S. economy right now: expected inflation would discourage corporations and families from sitting on cash, while a weaker dollar would make our exports more competitive.
Still, haven't crises like the one envisioned by deficit scolds happened in the past? Actually, no. As far as I can tell, every example supposedly illustrating the dangers of debt involves either a country that, like Greece today, lacked its own currency, or a country that, like Asian economies in the 1990s, had large debts in foreign currencies. Countries with large debts in their own currency, like France after World War I, have sometimes experienced big loss-of-confidence drops in the value of their currency — but nothing like the debt-induced recession we're being told to fear.
So let's step back for a minute, and consider what's going on here. For years, deficit scolds have held
If you ask me, it's time for Washington to stop worrying about this phantom menace — and to stop listening to the people who have been peddling this scare story in an attempt to get their way.Continue reading the main story

Bjorn Kopplin's goal in the final minute of added time sent ten-man Germany through to the quarter-finals where they will meet Brazil after they came from behind twice to defeat Nigeria 3-2 in Suez.
In one of the tournament's most dramatic matches so far, which exploded into life during the second half, Horst Hrubesch's side showed tremendous spirit and energy to cope with the sending off of Tobias Kempe and goals from Danny Uchechi and Rabiu Ibrahim, which had twice given the Nigerians the lead.
Richard Sukuta-Pasu had the game's first chance when he screwed a shot wide of the post after five minutes, but Nigeria quickly found their stride, particularly on the left side with Ibrahim and Uchechi looking particularly threatening. Yet it was from a right-wing cross from King Osanga that the Africans created their first real chance. Osanga played the ball to Odion Ighalo, who was lurking on the edge of the box, but he fired a shot just wide.
Sukuta-Pasu, Lewis Holtby and Kempe combined well midway through the first half before the latter fired tamely at Uche Okafor. There was another less than convincing effort from Ighalo which Zieler gathered extremely comfortably. But neither keeper was tested, and although Lukman Haruna's free-kick drew a few 'oohs' from the crowd, it went well over the crossbar.
The luckless Ighalo missed another chance after the half-hour mark when Osanga's corner dropped kindly for him, but he sliced a shot wide with the outside of his boot. Sukuta-Pasu placed a goalbound header into the turf from Funk's well-measured cross, but Okafor was equal to it.
Nigeria took the game to Germany at the start of the second half and took the lead in the 51st minute when Holtby played the ball straight to Osanga who crossed for Uchechi to head home. However, straight from kick-off, the Africans' concentration waned and the Europeans equalised. Bjorn Kopplin was given freedom to run down the left side, and with Okafor expecting a cross and committing himself, the defender slipped the ball inside the near post.
Initially, it looked like the game had turned in the 64th minute when Kempe was shown a straight red card for stamping on the knee of Nurudeen Orelesi. With the numerical disadvantage, Germany were stretched and the Flying Eagles almost took advantage when Ibrahim flew down the right and crossed for Uchechi, who was wasteful with the chance.
Nigeria took the lead for the second time in the game in the 68th minute when Orelesi ran at pace at the German defence before slipping a bobbling ball into the box, which Ibrahim did extremely well to control before firing past Zieler for his first goal of the tournament. Yet Germany refused to lie down and drew level seven minutes later. Once again, it was Kopplin, the earlier scorer, who was at the heart of the action. He drove down the left hand side and drew the ball back to substitute Mario Vrancic, who had only been on the pitch for two minutes and made no mistake from eight yards.
Uchechi should have wrapped the game up for Nigeria, but blazed over after being set-up by Ibrahim. And how that miss proved costly as Kopplin broke quickly from a Nigeria corner and ran half the length of the field before slipping the ball past the onrushing Okafor and just inside the post with virtually the last kick of the game.

Missing from the testimony of the Benghazi victims' families in front of what was left of the committee supposedly investigating the tragedy.
We have included the beginning of the story with a link to the complete story below it.
From: Breitbart
Dems Walk Out Before Parents of Benghazi Victims Testify
On Thursday, all but two Democrats on the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee walked out before the parents of two of the victims killed in the Benghazi attacks testified.
Patricia Smith, the mother of Sean Smith, and Charles Woods, the father of Ty Woods, spoke after the committee questioned the heads of the Benghazi Accountability Review Board (ARB) and the Independent Panel of Best Practices.
But among Democrats, only Reps. Elijah Cummings (D-MD), the ranking member on the committee, and Jackie Speier (D-CA) stayed to hear Woods and Smith.
Rep. Darrell Issa (R-CA), the chair of the committee, tweeted a picture of the empty seats:Here is the link to the complete story
See Who Is Alleged To Have Walked Out
As it turns out, according to a report from Katy Pavlich, some of the republicans assigned to the committee were themselves absent: " UPDATE: It turns out there weren't a whole lot of Republicans in the hearing room for Smith and Wood's testimony either. They should have been there." TownHall Magazine
The above being said, the New Mexico Representative is reported to have been Michelle Lujan Grisham. If you wish to inquire as to whether the report of her absence is true, and/or find out what she has to say about her actions listed below, are some contact methods for her:

Texas Blues Radio Tuesday
DJ: Sonny Boy Mark
Tuesday 6 pm – 8 pm
KNON Format: Texas Blues Radio
I blame it all on Jimmy Reed. If it wasn't for his music, my introduction to the blues may have been delayed for quite some time. As a teenager, when I heard "The Best of Jimmy Reed" on Vee Jay Records, everything changed for me.
I decided that I needed to know everything there was to know about this kind of music. Some forty years later, I'm still pursuing everything blues and I probably will be until my last days. In the course of my pursuit of the blues, I have been very fortunate to have seen Jimmy Reed perform live along with many other of the "Masters" like Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wolf, Hound Dog Taylor, Otis Rush, Junior Wells and many others.
I was able to see all these bluesmen in around Chicago in the late 60s where I worked in the steel mills during the summer to pay my way through college.
I listen to all styles of blues, but if I had to choose one to be more partial to, it would probably be the Post-War electric blues of the late 40s and 50s. To me, these guys were true innovators. They were using electric guitars and amplifiers for the first with no one before them to use as examples. They were it. And blues is still played pretty much the same way the pioneers of the 50s played it.
I started playing guitar back in the early 70's and eventually switched to bass and never looked back. I've played in all different kinds of bands ranging from jazz, jazz fusion, funk, power trio rock but I always seemed to go back to the Blues.
I've played in numerous bands up in the Chicago and Champaign, Illinois area as well as several Blues bands in the North Texas area. And although I was born in Chicago, I consider my self a naturalized Texan since I grew up here but spent some time up north. From being born in Chicago and growing up in Texas, how can I not have strong feelings for the Blues?

I found this book to be very interesting. It did at times read as if it were a text book but did describe the authors points. One thing that I did like about this book is the fact the author was to the point and not dancing around a point that he was going to make.
In chapter 2 it seemed as if the author was describing a social Darwinist society by saying that poor people should fend for themselves and play the hand that they received. Another that I found to be interesting is when he brought up the point about how the population growth is directly linked to this idea of sustainability.
Chapter 3 brought the idea of looking at nature with a monetary value which already do as a society.
Chapter 4 people want to look out for themselves instead of looking out for what is right or just for the environment. Not Surprised
Chapter 5- 9 discuss the political ideals towards the environment. As well as how we should approach the topic. Also the risks and hazards that are associated with what to do to preserve or conserve. In this work we see again the attempt to define nature and pin down what exactly is. We have discussed this previously in the course.
Later in the book, there is the discussion of uranium and the energy question is it worth the risk? I had brought this up earlier in the course to discuss the risks involved with nuclear energy which can be at time dangerous.
The last thing that I found interesting about this book was E waste being dumped on poor countries. This can be very dangerous considering the health implications that go along with the components that are being dumped.
Current Event- This pertains to the possible man made earthquake which could effect Oklahoma due to oil and natural gas extraction that we know as fracking. This article also talks about how the U.S. has already had over 220 earthquakes this year that could possibly be linked to fracking. If you want to know more about this topic visit Earthquakes.

In Faith's debut middle-grade reader, elements of fantasy are used to share a conservationist message.
Brother and sister Vinny and Jess have a history of helping out injured birds near their home. In return for their kindness to their feathered friends, they are rewarded with an extraordinary gift: Father Dove briefly turns the two children into robins. During their transformation, the siblings meet a variety of different birds and learn how to fly. But there is trouble afoot as plans move forward to build a road through the woods: Trees will be cut down and many birds will lose their homes. Vinny and Jess must help their bird friends put a stop to the project. Though the book gets off to a slow start, things pick up when Vinny and Jess meet Father Dove and begin their adventures with the birds. Some poetic license is taken with avian life: Eschewing simple nests, these birds live in elaborate structures built inside of trees. Likewise, the variety of birds met in the novel are a bit more colorful than one would traditionally find in a British wood. But readers carried away by the adventure will likely not be troubled by such details. Occasional heavy-handed exposition—"Nor did they know at that moment in time, just how much they could help him, that in fact it would be them that would find the clue to saving the birds and saving the day"—disrupts the flow of the story, as does the book's rushed ending. Although a relatively tame story, a villainous rook and raven make for a few scary scenes. (The two troublemakers suffer dearly for their bad behavior.) Still, at heart this is a story about cooperation among unlikely allies.
A fun animal story that provides important messages to children about helping animals and protecting nature.

In addition, this is something which would even help in increasing the value of your property. So whenever the time comes to get it on the market, you would not need to worry about making any changes to your swimming pool.
Therefore, even though you would be making your own effort towards keeping the energy costs at bay, you would also like to know how Fort Lauderdale pool remodeling would be able to help you out with that. To answer your question, read on below.
- One of the first things that could be done by a pool remodeling company is to get your inefficient pool heater replaced by a more efficient one. Even though you might think that it would be working just fine, the exact opposite is actually happening. This is because more energy would probably be used up to provide the same amount of heated temperature, thus contributing to increased costs.
- Other than going for the traditional option of getting a pool heater, you would now be able to consider from some amazing alternatives. These include going for gas and solar heaters, along with a heat pump. So based on the size of the swimming pool, the optimum size would be fitted in. In this way, you would not need to worry about an excess amount of electricity or energy being used up.
- Depending on where you live, Fort Lauderdale pool remodeling would be able to help you determine the appropriate or optimal temperature in which you should be keeping your pool. This is because every degree change in temperature would contribute somewhere between 10 to 30 per cent in energy expenses.
- You could also think about covering your pool up when it is not in use. Not only would it help in saving energy costs, but less amount of water would also be lost as a result of evaporation.

Robotic swarms can potentially perform complicated tasks such as exploration and mapping at large space and time scales in a parallel and robust fashion. This thesis presents strategies for mapping environmental features of interest – specifically obstacles, collision-free paths, generating a metric map and estimating scalar density fields– in an unknown domain using data obtained by a swarm of resource-constrained robots. First, an approach was developed for mapping a single obstacle using a swarm of point-mass robots with both directed and random motion. The swarm population dynamics are modeled by a set of advection-diffusion-reaction partial differential equations (PDEs) in which …

Swarms of low-cost, autonomous robots can potentially be used to collectively perform tasks over large domains and long time scales. The design of decentralized, scalable swarm control strategies will enable the development of robotic systems that can execute such tasks with a high degree of parallelism and redundancy, enabling effective operation even in the presence of unknown environmental factors and individual robot failures. Social insect colonies provide a rich source of inspiration for these types of control approaches, since they can perform complex collective tasks under a range of conditions. To validate swarm robotic control strategies, experimental testbeds with large …

True confessions — I cannot work well with loud noises or with obvious home projects undone. I need quiet, except for music or the soft bland visial hum of the home and garden channel and order.
Friday morning there was lots of noise and plenty of really efficient doing away with a tall pine. The landlords decided to cut down an old pine tree in the front yard because it was leaning towards the long driveway which allows folks in the small cottages behind our house to exit the premises. Those workmen knew what they were doing.
Does the center of this trunk look healthy?
They had the stump removed and the thinner sections of branch consumed by the chipper all within four hours.
Saturday a woman (yes! Go girls.) came by and took her chain saw to the leavings. She hauled away three or four truck loads of now newly cut firewood.
Still that meant Saturday was a noise fest and pretty much right outside the window of my cozy kitchen work space.
I took the opportunity late Friday and early Saturday to quickly finish my veggie table conversion project.
After three years of service our collection of blue buckets have turned really brittle and ugly. Wouldn't you after being baked by the sun that long? I'm sure the sight drove my dear landlady crazy and the sight was starting to get to me.
This squash was tossed into an old bucket, the top half of which had busted off all around, leaving the jagged edge. Sometimes I'd wrap the edges in silve duct tape. So, so classy.
They were once new and fresh. You can see the rectanglar box I used in this transformation beneath the freshly planted buckets in 2008.
I nailed on some extra boards and closed up the box I scavenged/recycled years ago, flipped it over and turned it into a planter.
It's much neater, less distracting.
I should probably bring this streamlined sensibility to the rest of our dream studio but that will be a slow process.
The box is mostly filled with catnip which I grow organically and use in my plushy squid catnip toys.
I'll add tomatoes. I'm hoping the seeds from the delicious black tomatoes grown in friends Kevin and David's garden last season will come into being for us.
They are the yummiest!
Okay. The noisy distraction is done and I must turn my attention to my soft sculpture work — 4 girl portrait dolls and a rainbow curly star. So much good handy craft to keep me busy, busy, busy.
In down time, if my eyes aren't too tired I am reading Posthumous Keats.
Thanks, Jane Campion. Your Bright Star brought me to Keats.

Froggy was a good baby, only crying for the usual infant complaints - wet, hungry, need mama. I could calm her in an instant, a nurse, a pat, just knowing I was there. Like a magic wand, poof- all was right in her world. The crying would stop and never lasted long.
She's always been her mama's girl. We have been each other's world for four years in a way that no one else has. Without pre-school or big playdates, she's been my cooking partner, my cleaning pal, my grocery shoppin' buddy, the Lavern to my Shirley.
A couple days ago my good friend Meeps had a small gathering at her home. While the adults dined and drank, seven kiddos yielded swords in pirate fights, held one another captive, jumped on the bed, played in the dirt, roasted marshmallows in a fiery pit, played dolls and trucks, swung and giggled, and screamed in the delightful ecstasy of childhood.
This was the first time Froggy truly left my side, never checking in or glancing to see if Mommy was there. At one point when the bigger kids were in the front yard, I ran into the house to make sure she hadn't wandered into the street. She was in the hallway watching someone do something absolutely hysterical. It was obvious when I peered around the corner that I had suddenly become an intruder. This baby who nursed all day, who walked through the house attached to my leg, who slept on me, rode my back when scrubbing the floors, this child who wouldn't dream of letting me shower or use the bathroom alone said upon spying me, "Go away Mommy. We're having fun." And boy did she mean it with a curled brow and hands on her hip. I looked at the other kids like, "Really, I should go?" And they gave me the pathetic gaze that children give all superfluous parents. It's the "don't let the door hit you in the ass" look.
As I left the hall, a tiny thrill rose up in me. She was a big kid. She had successfully made the leap from baby to child. I'd done my job, giving her the confidence to join the kiddo pack, to have a good time without me. I was so happy that she wasn't the outcast, the wallflower, the baby, the ignored. This child who had never been in a mommy-and-me class, or preschool, had graduated from one-on-one, to "the clan". Wow.
As I joined the adults, my joy began to fizzle and I reached for another glass of wine. My baby, my baby, my baby who came out of me, my baby who I could magically calm with one hand on her belly told me flatly to "get out." It was a strange and sober giddiness. I giggled and had tears well up at the same time. And I realized that being a mother is having the sensation of being invited and rejected simultaneously. It's the person you love more than any other saying "I need you...now get lost."
What a bizarre and rapid progression we experience as mothers. First they are in our bodies, living only because we are alive, breathing only because we breathe. And they leave us physically but still cling, still need to be close, still eat and exist because we exist. Their coos become syllables, their cries become harder to calm. The parameter stretches, the magic wand loses power, the wizard behind the apron is suddenly just a crazy and needy broad interrupting a child's joke in a hallway.
I got what I wanted, to sit at a party with the adults and have a real conversation. To have an evening where I wasn't chasing a toddler around making sure all poisons and small objects were out of reach. I'd gotten what I craved for four years, to just chill and have a good time with friends. And yet, like it usually is in life, when you get what you always wanted you miss what it was like before you had it.
Froggy laughed and squealed, she guffawed and teased, cackled and screeched. She settled with grace and joy into the role of big kid. And her mother, sipping Macedonian wine, trying to follow the flow of adult conversation, could only concentrate on the sounds of my girl, my big girl who like the tide and the moon will always dance that desperate dance of reaching out and falling back, pulling close and pushing away. It's only natural.
As I write these last words I hear my newest neighbor reaching out to his mother with a needy cry and I know that while my evening is ending, hers is just beginning. I'm sure if she could trade places with me right now she would, if only to have a good nights rest. But I know the truth. One day she'll look back on this night of sleeplessness and sore nipples and realize that it was, like all things sacred and fleeting - something to be missed.

Much has been written already of the impending collapse in the bond market this year but when a big fish makes a move, nobody wants to be left behind. Japan's biggest pension fund (Government Pension Investment Fund) is looking to move away from it large holding of JGBs. Many more will sure to follow suit.
Japan's public pension fund, the world's biggest manager of retirement savings, is considering the first change to its asset balance as a new government's policies could erode the value of $747 billion in local bonds.
Managers of the Government Pension Investment Fund, which oversees about 108 trillion yen ($1.16 trillion) in assets, will begin talks in April about reducing its 67 percent target allocation to domestic bonds, President Takahiro Mitani said in a Feb. 1 interview in Tokyo. The fund may increase holdings in emerging market stocks and start buying alternative assets.
The GPIF, created in 2006, didn't alter the structure of its holdings during the worst global financial crisis in 80 years or in response to the 2011 earthquake and nuclear disaster. Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and the Bank of Japan (8301) have pledged to restore economic growth and spur inflation, which will mean higher interest rates, Mitani said.
"If we think about the future and if interest rates go up, then 67 percent in bonds does look harsh," Mitani, who was appointed in 2010 after serving as an executive director at the Bank of Japan, said. "We will review this soon. We will begin discussions for this in April-to-May. Any changes to our portfolio could begin at the end of the next fiscal year."
GPIF, one of the biggest buyers of Japanese government bonds, held 69.3 trillion yen, or 64 percent of total assets, in domestic debt at the end of September, according to its latest quarterly financial statement. That compares with 12 trillion yen, or 11 percent, in Japanese stocks; 9.6 trillion yen, or 9 percent, in foreign bonds; and 12.6 trillion yen, or 12 percent, in overseas stocks.
The yield on Japan's 10-year government bond climbed 3 basis points to 0.795 percent as of 12:33 p.m. in Tokyo today. By comparison, the projected dividend yield for the Topix Index (TPX), the country's broadest measure of equity performance, is 2.05 percent. The Topix added 1.1 percent today.
Japan's bonds handed investors a 1.8 percent return in 2012, according to a Bank of America Merrill Lynch Index, compared with the 18 percent surge in the Topix.
Even as shares jumped amid optimism surrounding Abe's stimulus plans, benchmark Japanese government bond yields have remained below their five-year average yield of 1.18 percent. Benchmark 10-year yields are the lowest in the world after Switzerland and are less than half the level in the U.S.
"JGBs were how we made money over the past 10 years," Mitani said. "The BOJ said that they are increasing buying bonds, but they're also putting power into lowering interest rates. If the economy gets better, then long-term interest rates like a 10-year yield at less than 1 percent are unlikely."
The five-year JGB rate touched a record low 0.14 percent last month amid speculation the Bank of Japan will expand bond purchases as part of the monetary easing advocated by Abe.
The comments by Mitani show the pension manager needs to consider higher-risk, higher-yield assets to help fund retirements of the world's oldest population. About 26 percent of the nation is older than 65, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
Under Mitani's leadership, the GPIF began buying emerging- market assets in September 2011 and started purchasing shares in countries included in the MSCI Emerging Market Index (MXEF) last year. Mitani said in July 2012 that the fund was selling JGBs to pay for people's entitlements and might consider alternative investments as it seeks better returns.

- Theory Seminar (High Energy/Cosmology)
- Constraining Dark Matter with Background Light
- Time: 2:00 pm
- Place: 5280 Chamberlin Hall
- Speaker: Sam McDermott, University of Michigan
- Abstract: Photons are generic in final states of dark matter annihilation or decay, and a wide range of X-ray and gamma ray observations are available to constrain broad classes of dark matter models. In the first part of the talk I will survey some robust bounds derived in the context of light decaying dark matter. These bounds are applicable in complete generality, making no assumptions about background models or underlying astrophysics, and they can be applied both in model dependent and model independent contexts. In the latter part of the talk, I will discuss some work in progress that focuses on bounds on annihilating dark matter from the isotropic gamma ray background.

Assistive Technology Evaluation
This content was COPIED from BrainMass.com - View the original, and get the already-completed solution here!
I need to know the purpose and capabilities for assistive technology?
I need to provide the information on assisive technology cost?
How can assistive technology be applied in my classroom?
Evaluate which assistive technology would be a better investment.
Solution Preview
A Framework to consider and evaluate:
School divisions have a framework for the development of assistive technology operating guidelines tailored to local resources and services that should be used in conjunction with federal and state regulations. In addition, this information is provided to assist you understanding the concept on when to consider specific technology and the purpose for implementation. Keep in mind, assistive technology is provided to assist Individuals Education Program (IEP) teams in planning and implementing services to students with a disability, such as age, grade, academic level of performance, the environment etc...
According to IDEA (1997) and the Regulations Governing Special Education Programs for Children with Disabilities in Virginia (2002), an AT device is defined as: "any item, piece of equipment, or product system, whether acquired commercially off the shelf, modified, or customized, that is used to increase, maintain, or improve the functional capabilities of a child with a disability."
IDEA (1997) requires that school divisions provide assistive technology evaluation. The Federal Register (July 10, 1993) distinguishes between assessment and evaluation in the following way:
• Evaluation: A group of activities conducted to determine a child's eligibility for special education.
• Assessment: A group of activities conducted to determine a child's specific needs.
Since IDEA '97 requires that each IEP team "consider" the student's need for assistive technology, there is no "eligibility" criterion for assistive technology. Therefore, assistive technology assessment is being used to describe the process of determining a child's specific AT need.

Solution Summary
Assistive technology help students with a disability to access the curriculum and learn. Laws have mandated that assistive technology be implemented in the classroom to ensure student success. Here the expert answers and explains the benefits of assistive technology and how to measure its success and failures.

SEATTLE (Reuters) - Microsoft Corp is talking to Facebook about buying a minority stake in the fast-growing online social network that could value the company at $10 billion or more, the Wall Street Journal reported on its Web site on Monday.
Citing people familiar with the matter, the Journal said the world's largest software company sought to buy a stake of up to 5 percent in Facebook for $300 million to $500 million.
Facebook, led by its 23-year-old founder and Chief Executive Mark Zuckerberg, may insist on a valuation as high as $15 billion and is considering raising up to $500 million in cash to expand its operations, according to the Journal.
Such a deal could help Microsoft better compete against Web search leader Google Inc for a growing base of online advertising and put one of the Internet's hottest names firmly in Microsoft's camp.
Google has also expressed an interest in investing in Facebook, the Journal report said.
"It would probably be pretty good for Microsoft since it has not had the best success in creating really hip, young-people-grabbing stuff on the Web," said Kim Caughey, a senior analyst at Fort Pitt Capital Group, which oversees more than $1 billion, including Microsoft shares, for clients.
Microsoft would not comment on the report, while Facebook representatives were not immediately available to comment.
Facebook, which allows members to seek out a circle of friends and share online activities, has seen speculation over a potential partnership or buyout intensify as it rapidly expands its base of users and advertisers.
It has grown to 39 million members, up nearly 63 percent from 24 million in late May, and is quickly gaining ground against larger rival MySpace, bought by News Corp in 2005 for what is now seen as a bargain price of $580 million. MySpace now has more than 200 million users.
Redmond, Washington-based Microsoft already has an exclusive agreement until 2011 to broker display advertisements for Facebook. The Journal said Microsoft and Facebook are discussing expanding that agreement beyond the United States.
After relinquishing an early advantage in the lucrative paid search market to Google and Yahoo Inc, Microsoft is trying to catch up by clinching deals to broker display advertising to some of the leading names in "Web 2.0."
Web 2.0 is a catch-phrase for a new generation of Internet services that run on interactive software and typically rely on content generated by users to attract more visitors to the site. Microsoft also has an agreement with popular news site Digg.com.
Microsoft shares rose 1.5 percent to $29.08 in late trading on the Nasdaq. The stock was off its Monday high of $29.61.

Phillips out to end Winternationals drought
WITH the FUCHS Winternationals underway at Willowbank Raceway, Australia's most successful drag racer Gary Phillips is determined to break his 10-year winless drought at the event.
Phillips, who has won the Winternationals event 12 times between 1978 and 2004, is running high on confidence courtesy of a fresh ANDRA Top Alcohol Funny Car national record in his pocket.
He ran a 5.438-second elapsed time for the standing quarter-mile (400m), set during Willowbank Raceway's Santos Super 3 Extreme Drag Race where he secured two round wins.
"My Lucas Oil Funny Car is running well, after setting the record at Willowbank," Phillips said.
"That time is only a sniff away from being the world's quickest for the class.
"US Funny Car legend Frank Manzo is the quickest with his 5.411, and we went 5.438 to set the ANDRA national record."
The Brisbane-based racer is the first Australian drag racer to win seven consecutive Australian championships in any class.
He poured plenty of cold water on his decade-long dry-spell at the Winternationals.
"I may not have won it since 2004, but there are certainly 12 other times when I have," Phillips said.
"It's another race - and yes, it is a big race. However, it's hard to get to the top of the ladder, let alone stay there. There are a lot of other guys out there clamoring, and there's only one at the top.
"I'd rather be the target than the arrow."
Phillips, who will run in Top Alcohol and Top Doorslammer classes, knows qualifying will be important in the former with 11 cars vying for just eight available spots in eliminations.
"It's imperative to get a good baseline set-up locked-in for race day," said Phillips, who runs a Chevrolet Monte Carlo in TA/FC and a 1953 Studebaker in the Top Doorslammer class.
"Hopefully the weather is the same on both days because that plays a crucial role in how you prepare the car."
Phillips is currently second in the championship, just 14 points adrift of leader John Cannuli.
The Winternationals continue today with on-track action from 8am.
Phillips and his group one challengers are on track from 1pm for their first round of qualifying.
Tomorrow will host racing for sportsman brackets and the second and third qualifying sessions for group one, before race day on Sunday.

Thursday, October 1, 2009
"Pop-Dancehall" artist Serani is gearing up for the release of his first U.S. full length album titled No Games. The album comes on the wave of the huge success of his international hit single "No Games." The record has enjoyed incredible momentum with multi-formats radio play that includes Urban AC, Urban, Rhythmic and Top 40 and over 30,000 spins! The video for "No Games" is on rotation on BET, BET J, MTV Jams, MTV U, MTV2, VH1 "Island Soul" and Music Choice "Hit List" on demand, where it picked with 30,000 views a week during May/July 2009.
A native of Kingston, Jamaica, Serani started his career by touring as a keyboard player for several Jamaican artists (Wayne Marshall, Bounty Killer and more) and by joining school friends David and Craig Harrisingh to form Daseca, one of the most powerful production teams in Dancehall today. Serani and Daseca has been responsible for several dancehall hits, including Tony Matterhorn's "Dutty Whine," Sean Paul's "We Be Burnin'" and Mavado's "Real McKoy." Serani took his first chance at singing when he added a hook to Mavado's single "Dying" which he also produced. The song became a hit and Serani decided to start making his own tracks. His debut single "Doh" in 2007 turned into an immediate street anthem in Jamaica; the record also broke him into US radio stations, such as NY's Hot 97. The follow up "No Games" catapulted him into the mainstream with Top 40 airplay and video play on major national video channels. Serani is currently featured on Queen Latifah's new album "Persona" on the Neptune's produced track "If He Wanna" and on DJ Webstar's single "Tipsy."
The second single "She Loves Me" is just starting at radio and it's already picking up steam. The video was shot in LA by Rich Newey, one of the directors under famed director Jesse Terrero Films' umbrella. The video will go for adds at national channel the second week of October.
No Games consists of 14 tracks, including a wealth of new material, and heavily features Serani himself as a producer. Upcoming hot Jamaican production outfit Chimney Records, along with Keepleft Record's Leftside further represent the Jamaican sound on the album with Miami-based Blackout Movements (Mim's This is Why I'm Hot) and fast-rising new US producer Canei, protege of Just Blaze (Ti & Rihanna Live Your Life) closing out the production credits.

elcome Bach to the drawing board! After a few months of renovations (and college!) I've finally gotten the site back up and running. However, a few things have changed. Instead of attempting to make the site an "end-all" resource page for each of the composers featured on it, I have decided to instead provide a general overview of each man's life and give a list of his works. By providing this and some of my own analysis and audio samples of each composer, I hope to share what a little bit of the genius that each man possessed. So just follow the links above to learn more about Bach, Beethoven, and Brahms. Or, follow some of the other links to learn more about the GeoCities neighborhood of Vienna. If you like what you see at the site and want to hear or read more, visit the Three Bs Bookstore, where you can find books, movies, CDs, and more relating to Bach, Beethoven and Brahms, as well as other composers. Don't like what you see? Email me and tell me what you would like to see different. Until then, pardon the ongoing construction, and enjoy!

WeddingWire.com 5 Star Reviews for Rev Riana!
Thank you to all my Couples that took the time to write in to Weddingwire.com and review my Ceremonies!
Rev. Riana was fabulous. She was very professional and helped us every step of the way from day one. Planning a wedding can be very stressful, but she was very accessable and always provided guidance and helpful feedback almost immediately. She had a lot of creative and personal touches that made the ceremony very special and one that couples and their guests will remember forever. I would highly recommend using Rev. Riana to preform a wedding ceremony. Wedding: 07/12/2014
The experience we had with Rev. Riana Milne was absolutely amazing from the first meeting to the wedding day Riana displayed the utmost professionalism and provided a level of service we have never experienced before. She took the time to get to know us as a couple and learned about us very quickly. At the reception our guests, which was over 140; raved about her and how personal the ceremony was. Not one guest was left disengaged during our ceremony, which is an amazing thing. I would suggest Riana for any type of ceremony because she clearly has the ability to accommodate every type of couple! Thank you Riana! Wedding:08/23/2013
"Riana did an amazing job with our wedding. As advertised, she offers a completely personalized ceremony, taking plenty of time to sit with you and work everything out. She has plenty of suggested ceremony elements but will work anything and everything you want into the ceremony one way or another. She also has a wonderful speaking voice and very calming presence, the latter of which really makes you feel comfortable and at ease–even with hundreds of people starring at you!"
– Nancy, Galloway, NJ 10/08/2011
"We used Riana for our recent wedding on October 7, 2011 and I cannot praise her enough. The ceremony that she helped us build was the talk of the day. I cannot tell you how many guests came up to us and told us that our ceremony was beautiful, there were so many people crying the whole time. She really helped us set the tone for our day and I would highly recommend her! Thanks Riana for helping to make our day extra special and taking each of our suggestions into consideration to help us build a beautiful ceremony !!!"
– Karrie & Tim, Shamong, NJ (Wedding Date: 10/02/2011)
"Riana gave an outstanding effort. Very understanding of our needs. Her experience and knowledge helped us with our first marriage. She was sincere and had excellent suggestions. Very easy to work with. We had over 100 people and all of them were impressed. 90% of them are of Italian families that are very picky and selective. Her wine ceremony gave the perfect touch. We had a religeous and spiritual feel without the church. Riana dealt with some curve balls that might have been serious issues with others. Riana hit a home run with every curve ball. Highly recommend Ceremonies by the Sea. We feel very comfortable to pursue her in the future with any guidance with our relationship. She is an oak tree to lean on in the future."
– Stephanie and Angelo, NJ (Wedding Date: 04/23/2011)
"She was amazing…my oldest relatives were telling me that they have never seen such a moving and emotional ceremony. Many of my older family members were worried about going to a Civil Union Ceremony having never been to one, they said it was comfortable and had brought tears to their eyes. Riana kept it moving yet did not take away from what it was all about. One of the coolest things is that she lets you piece together your own ceremoney with her. It is completely up to you and your partner as to how the day goes. She arrived with plenty of time and was kind to all of my guests. I highly recommend her." (Wedding Date: 08/14/2010)
"Riana gave my husband and I our dream ceremony. We were married July of 2010 on the beach. From the first time we met Rev. Riana, her #1 concern was that our ceremony was exactly what we wanted, and that it was a representation of us. There were no ideas forced on us, she just helped us to express ourselves through her beautiful ceremony. She has many ideas to choose from, however, she is sure to let the couple be the ones who are expressing themselves! We got a package where we also received a beautiful book of our ceremony to keep. Rev. Riana was great at speaking loudly on the beach, our ceremony could not have been more perfect!"
– Tami Gandolfo (Wedding Date: 07/23/2010)
"Rev. Riana provided helpful guidance from planning to the wedding day. The was very personal and professional. We had one on one time with Rev. Riana to plan and coordinate our wedding. We had our children participate in a Sand Ceremony to blend our two families together and that made them feel very special and part of the ceremony. I would highly recommend Rev. Riana for your special day."
– (Wedding Date: 07/03/2010)
"Everyone had said that our wedding ceremony was beautiful and not boring. Rev. Milne was kind and really took the time in personalizing our ceremony and made it perfect. She is wonderful to work with and I would recommend her to anyone who wants to make their wedding day perfect. "
– Cape May, NJ (Wedding Date: 08/15/2009)

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced Friday that the state of Michigan and city of Flint have not done enough to address growing concerns over extremely poor water quality and high lead levels, reported the Detroit Free Press. Specifically, the EPA cited Flint's lack of qualified personnel at the city's public water plant.
"Following up on the EPA's emergency order of Jan. 21, water enforcement division Director Mark Pollins wrote state and city officials on Friday, saying that… there continued to be 'significant issues that need immediate attention.'"
This includes ensuring that there are adequate staff levels at the Flint water treatment plant, as well as developing a comprehensive plan to ensure corrosion treatments are adequate and will prevent more lead from leaching into resident's water via old water lines. Polllins also revealed that Flint will remain unable to switch to a new water source until plans are in place to control the corrosion and the system has obtained the necessary staffing and expertise to properly operate the plant, CNN reported.
"Having a comprehensive and interactive plan, instead of individual pieces of a strategy, is essential to protect the residents of Flint."
The Free Press reported last week that at least 666 addresses in Flint have shown high levels of lead in their drinking water. High levels of lead have also been detected in the city – and in local children's blood – since the city began using water from the Flint River in April of 2014. At this time, the state of Michigan did not require corrosion controls, even though federal rules called for the added oversight.
In his letter, Pollins also revealed that Michigan is looking into replacing all of the lead service lines in Flint, and that the city and state failed to ensure proper treatment drinking water, as well as failed to provide adequate daily water monitoring, since at least January of 2013, reported The Guardian.
"Warnings from state and federal officials were ignored or dismissed for nearly 18 months until desperate residents, many of whom complained of discolored water and health problems, reached out to Virginia Tech scientists, who fully illustrated the high levels of lead in the water."
A state of emergency has been declared in Flint, a city with at least 40 percent of residents living in poverty and in April of 2014 the debt-wracked city opted to switch its water supply to the Flint River in a desperate cost-cutting measure. After the Flint Water Plant failed to treat the water property, the river water corroded existing lead pipes and leached the toxic substance into local drinking water.
A long-recognized neurotoxin, lead poisoning can lead to serious developmental problems in children, along with hair loss, nausea, vomiting and extreme fatigue in victims of any age. According to The Guardian, recent water testing by Virginia Tech showed improved lead levels compared to August of last year, but residents are still asked to use bottled water and lead filters… Despite the fact that residents of Flint pay some of the highest water bills in the U.S.
Earlier this month, the state of Michigan also released a series of emails as part of an ongoing Federal investigation into the Flint water scandal. The emails prompted a flurry of fresh speculation that Flint regulators may face criminal charges. The emails were brought to light after a public-records request was issued for Flint by advocacy group Progress Michigan, in a move that ultimately brought evidence to light that both Gov. Rick Snyder and state emergency manager Darnell Early may have purposely overlooked the deplorable state of Flint's water quality.

Just want to give y'all an update on how my Dr. appt. went today.
In case you don't know, about a month ago, my fibula (outer bone of the lower leg) became very painful after a run. It hurt so bad that I had to cut my 10 mile run, to just 5. Since then I've been in almost constant pain. I have still been running, but only doing 3-5 miles a few days a week.
A week ago the pain moved to the top of my foot as well. So now my fibula and top of foot have been in pain.
Today I was able to see an orthopedic Dr.
First they did an X-Ray, which I knew was a waste of time. After that I saw the Dr. We talked for awhile and he looked at it, then he said he wants me to have an MRI. He said it could've started out as a hairline fracture and has now turned into a stress fracture.
So I could possibly have a stress fracture in the fibula and metatarsal bones. Aughhhh!!!
They are supposed to call me back to schedule the MRI. So I don't have a date for that yet.
I'm running the Air Force Marathon in 5 weeks. I'm not counting that out yet.
Of course right now I couldn't even do the half marathon. I couldn't even do 10 miles.
But, I'm going to do it. Because I'm stubborn like that.
I know the smart thing to do right now is to STOP RUNNING, before I make it even worse.
So that's what I'm going to do.
No more running for me.
Yes, it's going to kill me. KILL ME.
But I'm going to keep my chin up, keep smiling, and take lots and lots of spin classes. At least I can do that.

Plenty of people want to get a six pack fast. It's not that difficult, if you know what steps to take. Read on to learn how you, too, can get a rippling, sexy six pack fast.
Burn Belly Fat
Getting a six pack fast isn't just about doing abdominal exercises. Ab-toning exercises are, of course, vital to getting that six pack you're craving. But all the sit ups and crunches in the world won't give you a six pack if you've got a bulgy belly. That's because body fat hides muscle tone; burning belly fat can reveal how toned your abs are.
Burn body fat with regular aerobic activity. Running, swimming, jogging and cycling are all good ways to burn belly fat. Remember that you have to keep your heart rate elevated for at least 30 minutes before your body begins to burn stored fat; during the first 20 minutes of exercise, your body is burning energy from the food you ate that day. Perform at least 30 minutes of heart-rate-elevating exercise, at least three times a week.
Eat a Low-Fat Diet
Eating a low fat diet can help you burn body fat to reveal the muscle tone in your abs. For better muscle tone, eat plenty of protein, which helps your body build new muscle tissue.
Your body needs fat and carbohydrates for energy. The more fat you cut out of your diet, the more carbohydrates you should consume. Avoid simple carbohydrates, like sugar. Your body converts these to fat, and eating too many of them can lead to type 2 diabetes.
Eat plenty of complex carbohydrates, like whole grain breads and pasta, to give your body energy. Make sure you get an adequate number of daily calories from healthy foods. If your body is getting all the calories it needs from healthy foods, you'll have fewer cravings for unhealthy, fatty, sugary foods, and you'll be less likely to go off your diet.
Tone Your Abs with Crunches
Of course, you can't get a six pack fast, or at all, if you don't do abdominal toning exercises. Crunches tone the upper abdomen. Reverse crunches tone the lower abdomen. Bicycle crunches tone the obliques.
Perform a crunch by lying on the floor, with your knees bent and your feet flat on the floor. Put your hands behind your head and use your abdominal muscles to pull your shoulders off of the floor, until your abs are fully contracted.
Perform a reverse crunch by lying on the floor with your legs in the air. You can put your hands on the floor next to your hips, for balance. Use your abdominal muscles to lift your pelvis off the floor, and your legs into the air.
To move on to the bicycle crunch, keep your legs in the air, with your knees bent, so that your calves are perpendicular to the floor. Put your hands behind your head, with your elbows extended on either side of your head. Squeeze your abdominal muscles to draw your left knee toward your right elbow, while extending the right leg, as if you were peddling a bicycle. Remember that you have to repeat the exercise on both sides of the abdomen for a balanced toning workout.

Samantha Johnson asked...
An hour after I take my Wellbutrin I feel so happy and outgoing and am willing to do anything. But after about an hour I feel mean and angry and just want to be left alone. But if my family leaves me alone I feel like they are ignoring me. Does anyone else feel this way?
Dear Samantha,
You can find a profile of Wellbutrin in our medications section. In that information, it lists "mental/mood changes" as a side effect that should be reported to your doctor. I looked up more detailed information about Wellbutrin as well. Mania and paranoia were listed as "serious reactions."
Please discuss this with your doctor. It's possible that your dosage needs to be adjusted or that you need to change to a different medication. There's no reason to live with these feelings when your doctor should be able to help you.
I hope this situation gets resolved for you soon!

There is nothing quite like those moments where you find yourself somewhere so foreign it reminds you: I'm a pretty good traveler, but I'm not that good.
Spending a quick weekend in Seoul, Korea reminded me of the limits of play-it-by-ear travel, particularly as a vegetarian in a carnivore's paradise . Not in a negative way… more in an I've never been anywhere quite like this way.
Admittedly, I do not speak a word of the language (no limping by on "Dos cervesas, por favor" here), cannot read the script, arrived ignorant of most social conventions, have a dietary preference that limits much of the cuisine, and failed to research one helpful scrap of info about my new surrounds. So what to do upon arrival? Explore of course!
First stop… lunch.
Generally speaking, my idea of planning a day of inner-city exploration used to begin and end with grabbing a map on the way out the hotel door. That way, when I inevitably end up at some unknown location at the corner of Walk and Don't Walk, post happy-hour with a dead phone battery, out comes the map and I'm on my way back to the hotel.
Years of traveling with my favourite travel buddy, the ever-inspired and ever-organized Sylvie, have instilled in me the virtue of including some well vetted pit-stops dotted along the city map. After all, a city's gems or great whole-food and veggie friendly stops are not always easily stumbled upon. Alas, a creature reverts to its habits and I was flying solo this weekend.
Opting to find a quick lunch on the go while exploring, I hit the local farmer's markets near the hotel to see what was on offer. In 2015, the fourth anniversary of Seoul Farmer's Markets, some 340 opened in parks and urban spaces around Seoul so they are rather easy to find.
As it turns out, onions and garlic are both very popular at Seoul farmer's markets… I've never seen so many in one place! Unfortunately, raw onions aren't the best as a quick road-side lunch (unless of course you are former Australian PM Tony Abbott).
Ginger, seaweed, and various mystery roots were all in high demand but not quite what I had in mind for my mid-day meal. I'll spare you the photos of the fish market, but suffice to say that didn't do the trick either. Learning on the fly, I discovered that vegetarians seeking a grab-and-go lunch were going to be underserved at the farmer's market I happened upon, despite it being several blocks square. The street food, some cooked and some less-so, looked decidedly unsafe for a plant-based diet, and without a translator I opted to trust my instincts. If I could only read the signs, I would have made note to try one of the other 339 farmer's markets the next time I am in town.
Resigned, I ducked into the shopping mall across the street to smile and point to the first thing that said vegetarian, a strawberry banana smoothie.
Fuelled up by a very utilitarian beverage, I consulted my map and headed off towards Changdeokgung Palace, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, for some good old fashioned sight seeing. Dating back to the 1400's, it is one of the Five Grand Palace's built by the Joseon dynasty and a stunning example of far east architecture. Lunch may not have been a home run, but the day's adventure certainly was.
Readers, where should I have gone to find a delicious vegetarian lunch in Seoul? Let me know below!
Next time, I'll be sure to bring Sylvie along, do my homework, and plan more than 24 hours to look around. The energy of Seoul was incredible; there is so much to see. I look forward to a return visit so we can share a full Sails & Spices experience with you.
Signing off for now, but as always… travel safe out there and heed all warning signs:
