Kim IL Sung was the first ruler of North Korea. He is still revered by North Koreans who refer to him as their "Great Leader." After his death, the government of North Korea commissioned this portrait of him. It is online, courtesy Wikimedia Commons.
North Korea's political philosophy (popularized by its leader Kim il Sung since about 1955) is known as chuch'e (frequently referred to as juche).
It is, in theory, the application of Marxism-Leninism to the North Korean experience. It is, in practice, living one's life in a totally self-reliant country which is totally loyal to the country's leader. And it is impossible to even begin to understand life in North Korea without grasping what juche is all about.
The country's newspapers make the point. Kim il Sung came to power in 1946, at the height of Stalin's authority. (It is sometimes said that North Korea is the last remaining Stalinist state in the world.) By the spring of 1981, Kim il Sung was so firmly entwined in the daily production and fabric of North Korean society that its press published the following quotes:
Kim Il Sung ... is the great father of our people....Long is the history of the word father being used as a word representing love and reverence ... expressing the unbreakable blood ties between the people and the leader. Father. This familiar word represents our people's single heart of boundless respect and loyalty.... The love shown by the Great Leader
In North Korea, Kim il Sung is still regarded as the uniting force of the country and its people:
His heart is a traction power attracting the hearts of all people and a centripetal force uniting them as one.... Kim Il Sung [here people are in line to see his birthplace] is the great sun and great man ... thanks to this great heart, national independence is firmly guaranteed.
How did the country's leader respond to such effusive statements? His 1992 New Year's message is a good summary:
I take great pride in and highly appreciate the fact that our people have overcome the ordeals of history and displayed to the full the heroic mettle of the revolutionary people and the indomitable spirit of chuch'e Korea, firmly united behind the party . . . No difficulty is insurmountable nor is any fortress impregnable for us when our party leads the people with the ever-victorious chuch'e-oriented strategy and tactics and when all the people turn out as one under the party's leadership.
When Kim il Sung was no longer able to run the country, his son - the late leader, Kim il Jung - took over. Even though no formal succession had been established (because of Kim il Sung's popularity and national adulation), Kim Jung il remained firmly in control during his lifetime. He also enjoyed the benefits of juche (chuch'e), until he died in December of 2011.
Now Kim Jong-un, the son of Kim Jung il, has been named the latest member of the Kim dynasty to lead North Korea. One is left with no reasonable doubt that Korea's current leader, like his father and grandfather before him, intends to make sure North Korea has the battle power it needs to wage war both offensively and defensively.

Chandra images torrent of star formation
A new Chandra X-ray Observatory image of Messier 82, or M82, shows the result of star formation on overdrive. At a distance of only 12 million light years, M82 provides a unique cosmic laboratory for studying conditions similar to those that existed billions of years ago when stars were forming at a furious rate in most galaxies.
M82 is a so-called starburst galaxy, where stars are forming at rates that are tens or even hundreds of times higher than in a normal galaxy. The burst of star birth may be caused by a close encounter or collision with another galaxy, which sends shock waves rushing through the galaxy. In the case of M82, astronomers think that a brush with its neighboring galaxy M81 millions of years ago set off this torrent of star formation.
M82 is seen nearly edge-on with its disk crossing from about 10 o'clock to about 4 o'clock in this image from Chandra (where low, medium, and high-energy X-rays are colored red, green, and blue respectively.) Among the 104 point-like X-ray sources in the image, eight so far have been observed to be very bright in X-rays and undergo clear changes in brightness over periods of weeks and years. This means they are excellent candidates to be black holes pulling material from companion stars that are much more massive than the Sun. Only a handful of such binary systems are known in the Local Group of galaxies containing the Milky Way and M31.
Chandra observations are also important in understanding the consequences of the rapid rate at which supernovas explode in starburst galaxies. When the shock waves from supernovas rumble through the galaxy, they push on giant clouds of gas and dust, causing them to collapse and form massive stars. These stars, in turn, use up their fuel quickly and explode as supernovas. This chain reaction of supernovas produces expanding bubbles of multimillion-degree gas that extend for tens of thousands of light years above from the galaxy's disk. The large red areas to the upper right and lower left of the image are examples of such bubbles.

Today is the day that Kade's been looking forward to for months. In May we visited the preschool. After an hour he didn't want to leave. It was a good thing I got him out of there before the fire truck showed up or I never would have got him to leave and then he would have expected the truck to be at school everyday. He's talked about going to preschool ever since. I thought he might have a hard time being left because at the time he wouldn't even go to nursery by himself. In the last few weeks he finally started doing that, it only took 2 years. (There were a lot of changes made to the nursery that didn't help things. I won't go into it.) Yesterday we had orientation and I don't count that as the first day mostly because I forgot to take the camera. And it was only an hour and it was mainly for the children to meet the teacher, get to know the classroom, and for the parents to be given info. He didn't want to leave yesterday either.
I consider today to be the official first day. Kade was very excited. He was asked to bring in a stuffed animal for show and tell. He took his big bear from Nana and Papa. It got carried in his new school bag. Kade watched me put the finishing touches on it last night and couldn't wait for the paint to dry so he could use it.
When we got there he just dropped his bag and ran off to play. He did see his name tag laying on the table and put it on and then was off again. I had to call him back to get a picture with his teacher. He could hardly stand still long enough before he was off again. I had to go to him to tell him good bye. He could have cared less that I was leaving. I, on the other hand, was a little sad to be leaving my (last) baby. I've done this twice before, and not been very sad but maybe a little relieved, but I always had someone else left with me. This time I'm left to myself...isn't this what I've been waiting for? I think it's mostly that he didn't need me. I hate to admit that he's growing up. He just grew up too fast. Next thing I know he'll be driving and then leaving home.
Here's the proud school boy.
He's showing off his new bag.
Kade and his teacher Mrs. R.
I've dried my few tears and now I'm going to enjoy my alone time by playing music loud and cleaning the house. I don't really enjoy that but since I haven't felt well this week the house does need some attention and I don't want to waste a Saturday cleaning. I'm sure there will be lots of updates about preschool. There are 4 fieldtrips scheduled in the first 2 months. I won't be alone as I thought since I'll be tagging along. :-)

What a cute school bag for Kade! I'm sure you'll get plenty of projects done, now that he's in preschool! Lucky. I could always put in an order for a Vera Wang bag, if you're really desperate for things to do! : )

awe, he looks all grown up! what a cutie. I am so glad he has been going to nursery and has no worries with preschool. that is awesome! I love his bag, too cute! Enjoy your time, lucky duck!

He looks so darling! It's fun to see how excited he is.

I don't know if I could pull off a Vera Wang but I could do a Vera Bradley. I will take orders.

The Benefits of Staying Indoors
// June 10th, 2008 // Blog
1) I get to wake up late, and lounge around the house in my PJs.
2) I am much more comfortable with my mother tongue these days, māshā'Allāh. No way near any kind of fluency; but the odd Hindi/Gujarati word pops out of my mouth, without me realising it. I think it's because I am spending a lot more time with my parents, though we still speak to each other in English. I guess I must be subconsciously picking up the lingo whilst my folks natter away to one another.
3) I get to avoid people that make me feel crappy. Example: I was talking to someone new at a family wedding yesterday, when the young lady in question asks me if I'm married. I reply in the negative. Then she asks me how old I am. I tell her, twenty *cough* – soon to be twenty *cough*. As soon as the words fell out of my mouth, she just gave me this look. I can't explain it. It's like her face fell with shock. Geez, thanks for making me feel like I'm over the hill already, love! Remind me never to leave the house again…
Anyway, this is a random "non-post". Go ahead and share; make me feel less dumb, please. :)

I don't share my age anymore. I don't share my marital status either. I just let people guess and I brush them off.
My technique is to tell people that Egyptian men suck and do they have anyone for me that resembles Brad Pitt and Johnny Depp.
Thank you Aunties :)
Hmm, not asking for too much there OM!
I am now being optimistic and reckon that her facial expression was not due to her being shocked at the fact that I am twenty *cough* and single, but rather that I am twenty *cough* full stop. I mean, I have been told that I look younger than I am, masha'Allah… And you know my whole theory: women don't look their age until they have kids.
Ah, sweet wishful thinking – how I love thee! ;)
LOL, I love staying indoors too! Yes, people also make me feel crappy and they say I am sad because I don't come out and I don't even know the names of my cousins (sooooooo??), but whatever. Who cares?
1 and 2 both apply to me!
'Cept that I'm not exactly "lounging" in my PJs; more like frantically studying in my PJs (with frequent FB and bloggy breaks :D)…
I noticed #2 happening to me when I stayed over with my grandparents for several weekends in a row; I'll use a lot more Gujarati words and even surprised them when I understood an entire conversation between the aunties of the family.
I definitely agree with #3! There are times when I envy those who don't have deadlines to meet because of their ability to go out and socialize; but then when I hear of the drama that's been going on… I realize how blessed those piles of homework are, for keeping me away from that stuff!
BTW, has anyone else suffered hair thinning at a young age? I'm starting to panic because whenever I shampoo my hair I have an alarming amount of hairs breaking off in my hands :S
Tuba: Hmm, perhaps it is wise to know the name of close family members! :)
Mousey: Head hair often thins in girls during their teens… it's to do with puberty, and those annoying androgens! My hair was about three times thicker when I was a wee lassy, compared to now. :(
Aaaahhhh man, that sucks! I thought you only start losing hair when you hit your mid-twenties… or have kids… not when you're 17! :( :(
Well, I guess it depends on a number of factors… I think mine started to thin around the time I started uni (19 yrs). Btw, is your hair falling out, or breaking? Cos the former is most likely hormonal, and the latter probably related to diet… y'know, not enough of whatever is good for hair.
I was losing a lot of hair up until recently, but now not-so-much, masha'Allah. Perhaps it was stress-related?!
Btw, in case anyone was wondering.. I am not bald! The hair does grow back, alhamdulillah. :D
It seems to be falling out… like, I'll be shampooing it, and as I rinse it I'll find loads of strands washing out w/ the water, or in my fingers.
Bleargh! :(
Yeah, that used to happen to me – but masha'Allah, it has stopped of its own accord for some reason! :)
If you find that your hair is reeeally thinning badly, na'authobillah, you can use this shampoo called Nizoral. It is actually an anti-dandruff shampoo (available on prescription in the UK), but it also helps to reduce thinning caused by androgenic activity. I think it somehow neutralises the action of a potent form of testosterone (DHT) at the root of the hair.
The irony of androgen action is that is causes your head hair to fall out, but encourages other less favourable body hair to grow! Such as tash, chin, back and leg hair. Yum. :P
Btw, what made you bring up this subject in the first place?! I just realised that I didn't talk about it in my post!
I love lounging around my house, since Uni is over for the year I've become so accoustomed to late mornings and getting to know my parents a whole lot better!
It's awesome!
The hair thing is soo true, my hair is a whole lot thinner than what it was from when I was around 12/13. :(
D'you hafta go to your Doctor and ask for the shampoo or can you ask for it from the chemist?Ohhh, and does it stink?I hate it that all these herbal shampoos smell loads.My mum got this oil sent from India which is supposed to stop hair falling out but it absolutely STINKS!
Men get that question a lot too, but not nearly as much as females :( It must be annoying.
It's unfortunate that in our culture(s), the older generation focuses more on a woman's marital status rather than her accomplishments in school and career.
My Urdu is horrible :( I want to speak it more!
HFM18: Nizoral doesn't smell bad, I don't think… it's a medicated shampoo. Read more about it on its website.
Broken Mystic: Maybe we should set up a language blog for all those peeps like you and I who need encouragement learning a new language? I guess we'd need one for each language though… :)
LOL, me and all the girls in my class are losingour hair. We claim it is due to stress becuase of all the GCSE's and homework they are piling on us. Like we have no lives. And no, they are not my close family members. I see them on Eid and other special occassions. And that's about it. For which I am thankful.:)
I pray that you do well in your exams, Tuba! xxx
ahh staying indoor days. Like it for a max of one week, then i go nuts!
Oh great, another person who is younger than me that greatly surpasses me in success, brilliance and interpersonal skills. Not that it's a competition–but it is one when I'M LOSING.
I admire you more now.
Umm… who are you talking to, Shan? It can't be me, cos you're younger than I am. :)
If you were joking about your age when you told the woman you were 20, then that went right over my head. I'll be turning 22 this year.
Aaah… no dear. Twenty-*cough* is my way of hiding how many years past 20 I actually am. :)
I am the same age as Faraz bhai (minus a few weeks!).
Today an older Egyptian lady let me know that she felt like I was in school FOREVER! When I will be done already?
I let her know that I've been in school for ten years and I will need another ten to complete my undergrad.
That sure shut her up ;)
i was just looking through your blog; there is a blog and a forum which might be of benefit to you and your blog inshaAllah
please fwd the links.
Yeah I love staying indoors, I wish I could do so most of the time! It really does feel different, it's like you're owning a whole kingdom!

On July 2nd, remember to wish a happy birthday to K-on! kawaii keyboardist Tsumugi "Mugi" Kotobuki.
Looking at those pictures has confirmed to me that there are some really weird people out there.
This also just reminded me that I got distracted from K-ON by other anime, I should get back to it.

Henry Brookman, Partner, Brookman Solicitors
The purpose of this article is to look at the practical issues confronting a practitioner in the early stages of matrimonial proceedings where there is any question at all of an international element. There are many academic articles on choice of forum rules, learned articles about various remedies and obscure cases, etc. All these quite reasonably focus on the legal rules that apply to identifiable cases. However from the perspective of the humble labourer in the vineyard - the solicitor seeing a client, perhaps for the first time, perhaps over the first couple of meetings, the critical question is to identify whether there really is a relevant international element at all. It is not necessarily obvious. For example, the fact that the client may have a non-British nationality may or may not be important. In my experience quite often clients think that the place where they were married has particular importance; sometimes it does, sometimes it does not.
Identifying whether there are cogent international law issues is really a filtering exercise. We need to pick up on clues derived from the instructions, if necessary expand on them, and then refine our advice accordingly.

Well, you can't have the adorable child attempting to remove his legs so he looks even more like a Lego brick, but you can have the Lego brick costume.
1 adorable child
1 adorable child-sized box
6 cat food cans (it helps if you have a cat to eat the food)
1 can of glossy spray paint
1 glue gun
3-4 glue gun sticks
2-3 days
Now, naturally, your procurement of a child should probably take longer than 2-3 days. It is likely that you already have one of those. That's good. You will also have to convince him or her that they want to be a Lego brick for Halloween. Find out what color and shape of brick your child wants to be. We went with a six-stud, rectangular black brick. My kid was very specific about this.
Step 1: Secure a box.
In many ways, this is the most difficult job of all. You can't have a box that's too big, or your kid won't be able to get on the bus with his costume. I lucked into my box by lurking in the produce department of my grocery store where a clerk was very slooooowly restocking bags of peanuts.
Briefly debate making your child go as Mr. Peanut instead.
Step 2: Remove the extraneous parts of the box.
This includes the flaps and the bottom. You will not need them. Promise. Then tape the box into box-shaped form.
Step 3: Cut a head hole.
Check to make sure said head hole fits on your child.
Make some more inside-your-head jokes about Mr. Peanut.
Step 4: Cut arm holes—two of 'em.
I made them oval instead of circles, so as to be the least restrictive environment for Jack. (Just a little special ed joke for those of you who will get it.)
Yep. Those fit too.
Step 5: Prepare to paint the box.
5.a. Put the box in your grass and establish sentry duty.
This went on for a while.
5.b. Locate your can of glossy black spray paint and shake-a, shake-a, shake-a! I bought two cans, but only ended up using one.
Take note of your excellent sentry.
5.c. Send your sentry and his attendant interloper away from the paint fumes.
Who? Us?
5.d. Admonish your cameraman to stay far, far away from paint spray.
5.e. Break up sentry/interloper fist fight.
Step 6: Paint.
You will need two coats to cover the peanut.
It might be fun at this point to wonder exactly how bad for grass spray paint is. It might also be fun to make your kid stand in the paint square.
NOTE: You will need to spend YEARS training your kid to do
silly things like obediently stand in paint squares.
Make sure to let your spray painted box dry outside, because spray paint is really smelly. Wait a day, or several hours, before you put on the second coat.
Step 7: Start to worry about how to get the word "LEGO" on the cat food can brick studs.
Go to the craft store and start buy everything you think might help you do such a thing.
That thing in the back left is a green pumpkin, not a stenciling device.
All you really need, however, is a $3 glue gun. Don't forget to buy extra glue gun sticks. I forgot and had to go back. Just be grateful that I'm not telling you to use those wood sticks and the x-acto knife to build the word "Lego." I don't know what I was thinking there.
Really, all you need is to use your glue gun to spell the word.
You might need to practice. See the difference?
Here's what it looks like after you paint the cans.
Step 8: Stop worrying about it and go ahead and do it.
Move the cans before they dry and glue themselves onto your painting surface.
Lesson learned.
Step 9: Adhere the studs to the brick.
Pay close attention to this step, because you may have to re-perform it in haste after your child falls down wearing the Lego brick and the studs scatter in all directions.
Use your glue gun to put glue on the rim of the cat food can and stick it to the box.
Make sure all the words are facing the same direction. (That direction would be right side up.)
Step 10: Let the whole thing dry while you jump up and down excitedly.
Step 11: Admire your Lego brick.
It looks good like this...
...but it looks even better like this:
And that's how you make a super awesome Lego brick costume.

Dane DeHaan Turned Down James Dean Role 5 Times 'Out of Fear'
MONTCLAIR, N.J.—Actor Dane DeHaan turned down the role of James Dean in the film "Life" five times before he started listening to his wife, who reminded him that he says he wants to play challenging parts. "I realized I was operating out of fear," he said.
DeHaan–who has appeared in such movies as "The Amazing Spider-Man 2," "Kill Your Darlings" and "The Place Beyond the Pines," said he has had a poster of Dean on his wall since college because the star of "Rebel Without a Cause" is one of his favorite actors. DeHaan was interviewed by actor Patrick Wilson in a Q&A Sunday as part of the Montclair Film Festival in New Jersey.

Do it, listen to her, she probably knows best.
But really…
I didn't know much about this national show when I first heard about it last year in a professional sense. Someone I'd come to know through work had sent me a press release asking for people to audition with stories of motherhood — stories about their own mom, about being a mom themselves, watching their wife or partner be a mom… I instantly thought, "Michael should do this!"
Right then he was elbow deep in intense momming. Miles was going to preschool for just three hours a day four days a week and Owen was just a few months old. I had only been in this new position for a few months and was working way more hours than any one person should along with being gone a lot of Project Reveal and other various commitments. He was doing a lot of the momming. I say "momming" because that's how the outside world saw what he was doing.
Really what Michael was doing was being a parent. He wasn't being Mr. Mom; he wasn't "babysitting;" he certainly wasn't doing me or us as a couple any favors. If the roles were reversed and he was working 60 hours a week and helping run a nonprofit not a single eye would bat.
Am I right?
But there was some batting. There was even some finger wagging. And I'm sure some gossiping as well if we are to be completely honest here.
Anyway, back to Listen To Your Mother… I sent him the press release and blurbs about the auditions no less than 28 times. Perhaps that's an exaggeration; it may have only been 18 times. But I thought he would be great. Michael is a genius writer; so much better than me (or is it I, see, he'd know.) And he's hilarious. I am only ever funny unintentionally. I mean, I can be funny but it is typically at my own expense like I've fallen or am clueless of some well-known pop culture reference.
But alas, he refused to apply.
"There's no way I'm getting on a stage. NEVER!"
The second year rolled around. I tried again. And again. And again.
On try 33 he said, "OK, if you'll do it with me and you'll finally leave me alone I'll do it."
But this was about 10 p.m. the night before the last audition. We hadn't prepared anything. He was working until midnight. We hadn't arranged for childcare the next day for the auditions.
All keys to success. Right?
So, we essentially wrote the piece back and forth over Facebook messenger while he worked (don't mind us Courier & Press bosses) and read through it one time around 1 a.m. when he got home.
The next day we packed up our crazy, heathen children hoping for the best thinking the bribe of "really awesome, fun, exciting stuff" after the audition would keep the quiet for five minutes.
"Five minutes, please," I begged of Miles in a sincere whisper.
"Of course," he said, with an evil, little glint in his eye.
We started and not 30 seconds in they started bouncing off the walls. I see chocolate scattered about the table for those auditioning. I grab for it blindly, still reading our piece, maddeningly unwrapping the crinkly foil and the boys scream and prance about turning into howler monkeys in mere seconds literally pounding on the windows.
I start tossing the chocolate on the floor hoping for just a few seconds of silence. I don't think twice about the sugar, the artificial whatevers, the germs… none of it matters. There's a few moments of peace.
Who knows if our piece is any good. The true reason we made it in the show was the chocolate tossing.
Thanks boys!

Take your bag to the counter or the curb at any major airport. Hand it over to the attendant. Wave goodbye as it disappears onto the conveyor belt.
If you're flying domestically, here is the full list of the security checks that are performed on that bag from the moment it leaves your hands until it is stowed in the belly of your flight: Nothing.
There's a small exception to that rule. If you are one of the tiny minority -- no more than 3 percent to 5 percent of all fliers -- who fit the profile flagged for further review by the airlines' computerized passenger screening system, your bag is supposed to be scanned for explosives. But, in practice, federal investigators say the airports have failed to scan even the bags of all those selected as the most likely threats.
This is going to get better. In the final aviation-security bill Congress approved last week, airports will be required to process all checked bags through high-tech explosives-detection equipment by the end of next year. But it's going to take intense congressional vigilance to ensure that the Transportation Department and the airline industry come anywhere close to meeting that goal -- and provide reasonable security on checked bags in the meantime.
What's really remarkable is how little the security of checked luggage has improved fully 13 years after a bomb hidden in a bag not connected to any passenger destroyed Pan Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland, in 1988. The failure of the industry -- and its indulgent regulators at the Federal Aviation Administration -- to respond before Sept. 11 offers important lessons that extend well beyond airline safety.
Indeed, in an era when federal regulation is often disparaged as little more than meddlesome red tape, the long struggle to ensure bag security shows why regulation is indispensable to protect Americans from health and safety hazards -- not only such threats as exploding airplanes, but also the more common dangers of pollutants in the air and unsafe cars on the road.
Two broader lessons leap from the checked-bag saga. One is so obvious it's often forgotten, especially in an administration, like President Bush's, eager to limit government: Industry's first responsibility is to maximize profit, not public safety. Without prodding and mandates from government, the inevitable tendency is to resist measures that increase public safety but reduce profits. Only government can make safety the highest priority.
In the 13 years since Lockerbie, the domestic airline industry, concerned about costs, has fought almost every significant initiative to toughen the scrutiny of checked baggage. After the crash, European countries responded with a requirement that all checked bags be matched to a passenger on the plane and the rapid introduction of explosives-detection equipment. U.S. airlines have fought off the bag matching, arguing that it would produce too many delays. And they have displayed a kind of passive resistance to the use of high-tech explosives-detection devices. The public pays to purchase and install these machines, but the airlines must pay to operate them. And so they haven't provided the staff to operate these machines at more than a small fraction of their capacity.
After Sept. 11, the FAA required air carriers to operate the machines continuously. But the Transportation Department revealed last week that 73 percent of the machines were still not in constant use.
Airlines, of course, don't want their planes exploding. But they also want to hold down costs. And that pressure moves them to strike a different balance between cost and safety than most fliers would.
It's worth remembering that simple equation when companies complain of "over-regulation" on other health and safety dangers.
Here's the second broad lesson in this story. Since the Reagan administration, federal regulators have been required to prove that the benefits of new regulations justify the costs. But the luggage debate shows how difficult it can be to accurately measure the benefits of health and safety regulation.
Needless to say, the benefits -- economic, social, even psychological -- of avoiding another attack on an airplane now look a lot greater. Which is why the new aviation-security bill requires that until all bags are screened by explosives-detection systems, airports examine all of them through other means -- including hand searches and the bag-matching previously rejected as too costly. "I think cost-benefit tests are going out the window as a means test for airline security precautions," says one Senate GOP aide.
Maybe cost-benefit is out in the skies. But it still looms over rules meant to protect against dangers in the water, or the workplace, or the roads. Government obviously needs to maintain some proportion between the costs and benefits of its actions. But too often the true cost of inaction isn't apparent until there's a calamity. That's a lesson Washington should apply not only to the catastrophic threat of terrorism but also to everyday dangers -- from arsenic in the water to smog in the air -- against which government also provides the last line of defense.

Why You Must Neti If It's the Last Thing [I Make] You Do
In my family we are neti pot FIENDS. I cannot overstate how we adore the things. I think it was Lisa who introduced me to them, years ago, and I found the whole concept entirely appalling. I made her describe several times how you jam the spout of the pot of saline water in one nostril and the saline solution pours INTO YOUR HEAD and comes out the other side. Disgusting! "But they've been doing it for centuries," Lisa assured me.
Not for me, the crazy crunchy-club stylings of a mystic-eastern-obsessed new age sensibility. I liked my alka-selzer plus cold medicine. I liked my thera-flu.
But as the years ticked by and I got busier and being laid out on the couch for days at a time seemed less and less appealing, and I became more prone to persistent sinus infections, and - the last straw - the Alka Selzer people quit making the good stuff and marketed only the lame-ass version that didn't give you any kind of decent buzz, I finally got desperate enough to give it a try.
The first time was weird. I locked myself in the bathroom with the same sense of apprehension and embarrassment as the first time I shaved my legs with my dad's pilfered razor a thousand years ago. I couldn't believe it would work. And yet...with only a flash of a weird sensation up there behind the eyeballs, the liquid came dribbling out the other side.
Fascinating! I actually felt proud of myself as I watched this strange process in the mirror. I'd had the little weird throat tickle that signals an oncoming cold, and as soon as I was finished with my first eight ounces of saline, it already felt better. Placebo effect, I was sure, but then...I didn't get sick.
I'm not one of those who use the thing every day during cold season, but I made a beeline for it every time I felt the least bit sniffly. And I kept not getting sick. An entire year went by - no sick days. Then it was two. I would have made it three whole years, but last august I went on a camping trip and DIDN'T BRING THE POT. And I got sick as all get out.
Since the beginning, I've nagged my family to try this thing. My brother was the first convert, though I doubt it was my influence - those Brookline people kind of swing that way so he had lots of other people convincing him too. But then my Dad got hooked. It took us a year to Judy, my Dad's wife, on board, but once she neti'd she was sold. The only holdout is my sister Kristen. She's got her annual cold - the same one I got every year before I converted - and it is making me nuts. Every time I see her I go into my neti speech, which usually ends with me raising my voice and telling her she's choosing to be sick when she doesn't have to (I am a terrible, terrible, sister; really, all you folks who think I'm delightful, just ask Kristen, she'll tell you the truth). My Christmas gift to Juliet this year was....oh, I suppose you can probably guess. And the worst thing is that, wrapped up in shiny paper, the little net box looked like it could be something really delightful. Perfume, perhaps, or a bracelet or something. But no. Juliet received a neti pot with a whole lotta love behind it.
I nag, and I just can't stop. Tonight we quad-teamed my sister - did I mention my kids also neti? - it was me and Junior and my dad and his wife, all begging, pleading, imploring, but most of all NAGGING poor Kristen to give it a try. Truly, I don't know how she can stand it. I would have folded, just to get us all off my back.
I only shared this tiny little corner of my nagging with you because I can't bear to face the whole truth. According to my kids, I'm a yeller, too emotional, and most definitely a nag. I'm not proud of any of it, but I can't seem to stop. I'd apologize, but the truth is that the next time I see you with the sniffles, I'm going to want to force you to neti too.

You know how much I don't put things together sometimes? I've been using a neti for the last two years, almost three, morning and night, for allergies. My allergies are almost gone (and strangely, my food allergies are mostly a thing of the past, too, which I don't understand), but I hadn't noticed that I hadn't gotten sick. AT ALL. I've felt colds coming on, and I had one really sniffly day last year (I think) but I haven't had a real cold or flu in years. Dude. It works THAT way, too? In my own nagging way, I'm going to send my sister who fights colds all the time here.

I don't neti, I tried and it didn't do anything for me. However, gargling does work. Keeps cold away and helps with allergies. To each his own, but you have to try stuff to see if it works.

Adrienne, the brain eating virus is freaky indeed. :) so what you do, is boil 8oz water in the microwave. leave on counter 20 mins. voila! perfect temp water free of death germs!

- Sophie Littlefield said...
oh and regarding the gargling: that is absolutely the proper treatment for flu exposure. flu germs lodge in the throat, cold germs in the sinuses. i do both! PS it's just a little salt per cup water - 1/2 tsp - for the gargling, and no need to boil.

Business Valuation
Colorado divorce proceedings come in all shapes and sizes. In some cases, the need arises for the division of a business or business interest, whether a small mom-and-pop operation, a dental practice, or a landscaping company with 50 employees and significant equipment. Unlike some marital assets, which can be valued relatively quickly, such as a 401k or a car, the division of a business interest will be generally require the insight and opinion of an expert to determine the value of the business.
Whether you are a business owner who is getting divorced, or the soon to be ex-spouse of a business owner, the Denver business valuation attorneys at Plog & Stein, P.C. can help you obtain a proper valuation of the marital business interest. We do this through the use of business valuation experts, who are generally accountants with specific training in valuing a business concern. In all cases, we look for experts known to us and well regarded in the family law community. A seasoned expert must know not only how to properly value the marital portion of a business, but also the importance of testifying in court should your case proceed to trial.
In addition to assisting you in arriving at the value of that business, the business valuation lawyers at our Denver firm are there to advocate for you towards a fair division of the property in question. As with the division of other marital assets, either one party will have to compensate the other for their share of the business or the business will have to be sold, or liquidated, with the net proceeds being split. Understanding your rights and options when dealing with a marital business in a divorce can be invaluable in structuring your financial future.
If you or your spouse owns a business, or if you both own it jointly, a court will need to determine the best method of valuing the business so that it can be equitably divided (the legal standard in Colorado for dividing marital property. A prenuptial or postnuptial agreement may specify how the business is to be split up if a marriage ends. But if you do not have a written agreement, dividing the enterprise can be complex and challenging. People who owned a business before getting married may be surprised to learn that any increase in its value after the date of marriage is likely to be considered marital property. In those instances the expert employed will need to assess both the value at the time of marriage and the current value.
The court may look at some the following:
- Whether both spouses were putting equal effort into the business
- How much value the business had to each spouse
- Which spouse is best equipped to keep the business going, in cases of joint ownership and operation
A business that makes very little money and does not have employees may only be worth its possessions: cash and other assets like office furniture and computers. However, if the business is making regular income each year and has even a few employees, it may be worth significantly more. It may be important in either case to retain an expert on business valuation.What Is the Book Value of a Business?
Courts might look at the "book value" of the business. This subtracts a business' liabilities from the value of its assets, which results in the business' net equity. However, dealing with the assets and liabilities will generally only be part of valuing a business. Some businesses may have little or no assets, yet still have a cognizable, divisible value.
Other factors that may be used to assess value are:
- Annual earnings
- Competition
- Whether the business can continue without the current owner
- The type of service provided or the product sold
- The likely future trend in demand for the business' product or service
- The business' longevity
- Its financial history
- Goodwill (which is the amount by which the annual earnings are more than the business operator's reasonable wage)
A different approach is the earnings or market approach, which looks at the earning capacity or market value of the business as assessed by what an outside buyer would pay for the business. This method will also take into account whether the business is likely to make more money in the future. After a divorce, a business usually will continue to be owned by a spouse who is an owner operator of the business, and the spouse will either pay the other spouse a portion of the marital value or permit the other spouse to take an offsetting amount of other marital property.Retain the Services of Our Experienced Denver Business Valuation Lawyers!
Tensions can run high when property division is debated. When it comes to the complex process of valuing and dividing a business, it's critical to retain an attorney with experience working with business valuators within in the context of divorce. Our firm's legal team has years of collective experience helping clients value and fight for their business interests. The business valuation attorneys at our Denver firm recognize that a business is generally going to be not only an asset, but an ongoing, important source of income for your post-divorce future.

Former Vice President Joe Biden and Dr. Jill Biden sat down with Axios' Mike Allen at an event on the future of cancer research in Philadelphia with the former veep declaring the fight against cancer the "one bipartisan issue out there," promising that "we'll get all that money" via government cooperation. He specifically cited Congress' rejection of President Trump's proposed budget cuts at the National Institutes of Health as an example.
The big thing: The Bidens agreed that information sharing between institutions is what will push cancer research forward the most over the next few years — with Joe declaring it "the single biggest thing" — and marked it as a centerpiece of their Biden Cancer Initiative, which stems from Biden's "moonshot" to end cancer while still in office.

Short-Sighted Vote Against DREAM Act Not Soon Forgotten By Latino Voters
Washington – Although a majority of U.S. Senators voted in favor of the DREAM Act last Saturday, the 55-41 vote failed to meet the 60 vote threshold and will not advance. This is particularly disappointing given the fact that the legislation had already passed the House and was just five votes shy of reaching the President's desk.
The political consequences for those who voted against the DREAM Act will be felt in 2012 and beyond. On Saturday, millions of Latino voters watched the DREAM vote, as both major Spanish-language networks, in an unprecedented move, interrupted regular programming to carry the vote live. Images such as angry Republican floor statements dismissing the efforts of the DREAMers and moral clarity of the DREAM Act, the vote count showing most Republicans and some Democrats voting no, and, following the vote, the talented young Latinos crying and expressing resolve to fight on will stay with a community that is coming of age politically.
According to Frank Sharry, Executive Director of America's Voice, "Latino voters will remember the names of those who stood with them, and those who blocked the doors of opportunity for their best and brightest young people. Combine the vote against DREAM with the expectation that Republican state legislatures across the country will rush to pass anti-immigration bills like Arizona's, and the fact that Republicans will be defined in the next Congress by the likes of radicals such as Rep. Lamar Smith (R-TX) and Rep. Steve King (R-IA), and it's difficult to see how the Republican nominee for President has a shot at winning in 2012."
Republican senators voted against the DREAM Act 36 to 3 (with 3 Republican senators not voting). Senators Richard Lugar (R-IN), Bob Bennett (R-UT), and Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) deserve special commendation for standing up to the nativist voices within their Party and voting for this sensible legislation. Democratic senators voted for the legislation 52 to 5 (with 1 Democratic senator not voting). Senators who deserve special condemnation are those who voted for DREAM in 2007 but switched to no votes in 2010: Senators Sam Brownback (R-KS), Susan Collins (R-ME), Kay Bailey Hutchison (R-TX), Ben Nelson (D-NE) and Olympia Snowe (R-ME). Special thanks go to those who were no votes in 2007 and became yes votes in 2010: Senators Kent Conrad (D-ND), Byron Dorgan (D-ND), Mary Landrieu (D-LA), Claire McCaskill (D-MO), and Arlen Specter (D-PA).
In the aftermath of the vote, political analysts are already predicting it will have a major impact on 2012 politics.
Said Sharry, "After years of blocking comprehensive immigration reform and rallying around unconstitutional and un-American laws like Arizona's SB1070, the majority of Republicans who voted to slam the DREAM Act's doors of opportunity shut in the faces of thousands of Latino kids may seem intent on committing political suicide. Though a handful of Democrats, most notably Senator Jon Tester (D-MT) and Senator Kay Hagan (D-NC), joined the Republicans in opposing DREAM – in ways that will probably haunt their careers going forward – the vote revealed an unfortunate partisan divide over what should be and what traditionally was a bi-partisan bill. As many Latinos have been saying over the weekend, 'if you don't vote for us, don't expect us to vote for you.'"

As seen above, stolons are slender stem-branches running horizontally away from the main plant, either above or below ground. At the right in the picture you see two plants of Nut Grass, Cyperus esculentus. It's not a grass at all, but rather a member of the Sedge Family, but that's a different story. Anyway, I just dug these two connected Nut Grasses from my garden and they tell a story.
The larger plant at the left in the picture (it's about 8 inches tall) is the "mother plant." It has issued a stolon that has grown about six inches through the soil, then the stolon budded and from the new bud arose the smaller, younger plant at the right in the picture. Note that some of the stolons end in roundish, potato-like tubers. There's more about tubers below.
The stolons you see in the picture arose from the same general area on the plant as the roots but, again, they aren't roots. They're stems because they sprout at their nodes, and real roots don't have nodes. (Nodes are explained at the bottom of our Stems Page.)
One reason that Nut Grass and some other weeds are so hard to get rid of in my garden is that they are very stoloniferous -- when you pull up the plants, you're bound to leave behind at least one stolon section, from which a whole new plant can arise. By the way, those tubers on the Nut Grass are only about the size of large peas. Nonetheless, to our ancestors such tubers often meant the difference between survival or starvation. The weedy Nut Grasses I try so hard to keep from my garden today may be the descendents of Nut Grasses that once saved my ancestors' lives!
Tubers such as those shown at the tip of some Nut Grass stolons above, as well as the ordinary potato shown at the right, are often thought of as roots. However, as we've just said, roots don't have buds, and that's exactly what you see sprouting on the potato, arising from the potato's "eyes." Tubers are actually swollen portions of underground stems (stolons) and, as we've seen, stems have nodes, and buds arise at nodes.
One reason it's hard to think of the potato with its sprouting eyes as an underground stem is that no nodes are obvious. If you were a scientist able to watch the potato's cells divide and grow from the very beginning you'd see that in the very early stages of development the potato had recognizable nodes, and then you could watch the nodes develop slowly into the potato's eyes, and the eyes would have buds associated with them, just like a normal tree-branch node.
At the left you see a close-up of two sprouting buds in one of the above potato's eyes. Do you see the future leaves and stems at the top of the two sprouts? At the bottom of the egg-shaped sprouts you can see pale bumps that will develop into roots. Each of these sprouts has the potential for being an entire potato plant with its own potatoes.
By the way, you may have never even seen potatoes sprouting like the one in the picture. Usually potatoes sold in stores are sprayed with chemicals to keep them from sprouting. That's one more reason to eat organically grown food when you can.
At the right you see a turnip from my garden. The large, purple part is a tuber producing roots only on the slender tap-root beneath it. The turnip-plant's stem is shortened into a kind of "neck" atop the tuber. When the plant matures more, a regular stem bearing flowers will arise from the "neck."
At first glance rhizomes are like underground stolons, but there's an important difference between them: Each stolon is just one of what may be several stems radiating from the plant's center. Rhizomes, in contrast, are the main stem. If a tree grew with its trunk horizontal below the ground, with its side branches emerging aboveground, the buried trunk would be a rhizome. The thick, fleshy "roots" of irises, cannas, and water lilies are actually rhizomes. So are the whitish, thumb-thick items at the right. What you see there are the succulent rhizomes of Johnson Grass, just dug from my garden. The horizontal part was growing about an inch below the ground's surface. In the picture you can spot the nodes in the horizontal section because the nodes are dark brown, while the internodes are mostly whitish.
If you take a regular, aboveground, single, straight stem with its various nodes, and, keeping it standing vertically, squeeze it downward until it becomes wider than tall, and bury it underground, you'll have a corm. Corms, then, are unlike stolons and rhizomes because they usually grow vertically, instead of lying horizontally. They're unlike tubers in that tubers are typically attached to the main plant by a slender rootlike part of the stem, a sort of umbilical cord, while corms constitute the below-ground "heart" of the plant, the part from which aboveground stems and leaves directly sprout. In the corm shown here, notice the horizontal band running across its middle. That's a node just like the nodes that are so conspicuous on the bamboo stem at the bottom of our Stem Page. Notice the roots emerging from the base of the corm. Gladiolus, crocus, and tuberous begonias all arise from corms.
Bulbs can be considered to be very short stems encased in thickened, fleshy bulb scales (which are modified leaves). As the drawing below shows, the two basic bulb types are layered and scaly:
Here are examples of the two kinds of bulbs:
These stems, you might guess, are stems specializing in storing water for the plant's use between rains. Instead of being woody, like tree stems, usually they are fairly soft and uncommonly thick, or "bloated-looking." The most famous such stems are those of the cacti, one of which is shown at the right. Another common potted plant with water-storing stems is the Jade Plant. Backyard weeds with water-storing stems include spurge, purslane, and milkweed.

According to a new study, the timing of pubertal onset may be a fundamental marker of male reproductive health and can influence general health and risk of disease in adulthood.
Pubertal onset marks the transition period between childhood and adulthood during which adult reproductive capacity is attained.
The age at pubertal onset varies considerably from 9 to 14 years and depends on individual genetic variations, epigenetic modifications, lifestyle and environmental factors.
The findings showed that men who had early or late onset of puberty than their peers had a poorer semen quality and smaller testicles at the age 19 years.
Also, such men were found to be shorter, had a higher body mass index (BMI) and were often smokers.
Delayed puberty has been associated with psycho-social problems, as well as, a risk of obesity, diabetes and cardiovascular disease in adulthood.
In addition, further chances of sexually transmitted diseases were also found higher compared to men who had a normal pubertal onset.
"Understanding the implications of the timing of puberty for your future reproductive health is important, as we speculate that puberty timing influences general health and risk of disease later in life," said Anders Juul, Professor, University of Copenhagen in Denmark.
For the study, published in the journal Human Reproduction, the researchers examined 1068 Danish men at the age of 19.
However, they were asked to complete a questionnaire including detailed information on whether pubertal changes occurred before, at the same time or later than among their peers.

SANTA CLARA, Calif. - With winter in the rearview mirror, Santa Clara baseball opens its 2013 season on Fri., Feb. 15 at 6 p.m. at Schott Stadium vs. Seattle in the first of a three-game set. On Mon., Feb. 18 Santa Clara will host Cal Poly after sweeping the two-game set vs. the Mustangs in 2012. Last year Santa Clara won 26 games, the most any of the seniors had experienced. The 26 wins were a nine-win improvement over the 17 wins in 2011.
"Our goal this year is to reach our ceiling and break through it," said second-year Santa Clara head coach Dan O'Brien. "No crystal ball predictions here, but I can promise that every man in this program will give everything they have to help find that ceiling. We're going to be a ball club that competes, from the first pitch to the last, a resilient team that can take a punch, a bunch of guys who care about each other and will make sacrifices for one another and ballplayers that get dirty, and love it. If you come watch the Broncos play this year, you'll leave proud."
Santa Clara returns Friday nigh starter Tommy Nance who led the team with 94.1 innings pitched in 2012. Nance went 4-6 with a 4.20 ERA while striking out 48 batters. He will make a controlled start on Monday due to injury.
Mike Couch, who made nine starts in 2012 and tossed two complete games before going down with a knee injury is the 2013 opening day starter for Santa Clara. He tossed 57.1 innings in 2012 while striking out 39 against just 14 walks. His 2.8 strike out to walk ratio led the team.
The February 2012 West Coast Conference Pitcher of the Month Powell Fanlser is back for his junior year after going 5-5 with a 4.06 ERA in 18 appearances that included 11 starts.
"On the pitching side we're looking to pound the strike zone," said O'Brien. "We want our pitchers to really get after the hitters and use their defense. We have guys that are going to make plays. We've been known for being a good defensive team. We want the guys to have great poise and react well to adversity. The game is going to try to make you speed up and our pitchers need to have the mechanism to slow down."
Greg Harisis returns to the Broncos after leading the team in hitting with an average of .398 in 2012. Harisis scored 30 runs, knocked in 13 more while hitting eight doubles and a home run. He added six steals while playing mostly second base and right field.
Matt Ozanne hit .261 in 2012 while playing in 47 games in the outfield. He placed second on the team with four home runs and added 17 RBI with 20 runs scored. Ozanne posed a .335 on-base percentage with six doubles and a triple. He stole 13 bases in 19 attempts.
Justin Viele led the Broncos in 2012 in walks (22) and hit-by-pitch (13) to post a .378 OBP with a .242 batting average. Viele started all 54 games for Santa Clara and scored 29 runs while knocking in 10. He had seven doubles, one triple and stole six bags.
"We're focused on having quality at-bats and dominating the things we can control," said O'Brien. "We're keeping it as simple as possible and trying to put the barrel-head on the ball. It's a group of guys that have been working really hard on being consistent. There's not any result we're looking for other than what's the percentage of quality at-bats we had."
Seattle finished 2012 with a record of 23-30 and 7-17 on the road. Last season also marked the first time the Broncos faced Seattle in the programs' histories. Santa Clara traveled to Washington and took down the Redhawks 8-4 and 3-2 in 11 innings.
As a team the Redhawks batted .249. Of Seattle's 34 players, 11 are freshmen, making almost a third of the roster newcomers. Despite hitting just 11 home runs in 2012, the Redhawks only surrendered 15.
Garrett Anderson led the team with six wins in 2012 and finished the season 6-6 with a 5.66 ERA over 23 appearances, including seven starts. He tossed 55.2 innings and struck out 31 batters. The rest of the returning pitchers had seven total wins.
Eric Yardley was 2-2 with a team-best 2.49 ERA coming out of the bullpen last year. He had a team-high five saves to go along with 14 strikeouts and 11 walks in 25.1 innings pitched.
Ryan Somers led the team in batting last year with an average of .297 and had two of the teams four triples. Somers added five doubles and two stolen bases while appearing in 39 games.
Brian Olson is the top returning power threat for Seattle. Olson hit two home runs and drove in 18 runs in 2012 while hitting .276. Olson also added eight doubles and scored 17 runs.
The Redhawks lost their top-two base stealers from 2012 in Marcelino Morales who swiped 13 bags and Trent Oleszczuk who had eight. Nate Roberts five steals in 2012 is the highest total returning to the team. Roberts hit .233 in 48 games with one home run and 18 RBI. Roberts also scored 19 runs and added eight doubles.
Cal Poly went 36-20 last season and was 12-12 on the road. The Mustangs ended their season on a seven-game winning streak. Santa Clara is 40-36 all-time vs. Cal Poly. Last season the Broncos took down the Mustangs twice, once at home and once on the road. Santa Clara went to San Luis Obispo and came home a 5-2 winner and then won at home 11-6 two weeks later.
Cal Poly will open its season on Friday with the first of three games at USF. After visiting Santa Clara, the Mustangs will have their home-opener vs. Seattle on Feb. 22.
As a team in 2012 the Mustangs hit .297 and smacked 36 home runs to opponents' 15. They will welcome seven freshmen to the team in 2013.
Joey Wagman was the top pitcher for the Mustangs in 2012 when he went 9-3 with a 2.33 ERA in 15 starts. He threw a team-high 108.1 innings and struck out 79 against just 21 walks.
Also returning is Cal Poly's closer Chase Johnson who can throw up to 98 MPH. Johnson saved a team-high eight games in 2012 and posted a 3.34 ERA. He made 25 appearances while throwing 35 innings and striking out 31.
Jimmy Allen is the top returning hitter for Cal Poly. Allen hit .345 while starting every game as a sophomore. He clubbed three home runs, four triples and a team-high 20 doubles. Allen scored 32 runs and knocked in 44.
David Armendariz appeared in every game last season for the Mustangs while making 52 starts. He hit .312 with four home runs, two triples and 12 doubles. Armendariz had 36 RBI and scored 30 runs while stealing 13 bases in 18 attempts. Both steals and attempts were the highest on the 2012 Cal Poly team.
