Foot Angular Range (Foot AR)
Foot Angular Range measures how much the heel moves up and down while pedaling.
- Looking at the right and left Foot AR values provides insight to left/right movement imbalances.
The Foot Angular Range is calculated by subtracting the angle of the foot at its lowest point from its highest point. This score is mainly used for characterizing an athlete's pedaling. The bigger the Foot Angular Range, the higher the heels rise during the 9 - 12 o'clock phase, and the more that ankling occurs between 0 - 6 o'clock.
The up-to-down angular range of the foot (with the pedal as the vertex) along a pedaling stroke, in degrees. The lower the range, the easier it is for the leg to transfer power to the pedal.
Range: 0° - 90°
Foot Angular Range Q1 (Foot AR Q1)
Foot Angular Range (Q1) shows the foot angular range of the first quadrant of the pedaling cycle - 12 o'clock to 3 o'clock position.
- Looking at the right and left Foot AR (Q1) values provides insight to left/right movement imbalances.
A large FAR Q1 shows that the cyclist pushes down hard after the 12 o'clock position, creating a thrust around the 1 and 2 o'clock positions. By pushing down earlier near the 12 o'clock position, the cyclist minimizes the total angle the foot shifts between the 12 - 3 o'clock position.
Foot Angular Range (Q1) measures the range of angular movement that occurs between the 12 and 3 o'clock position. The higher the range, the longer the delay for the "push down" motion to start for the power phase.
Range: 0° - 90°

Hyderabad (Telangana) [India], Jan 14 (ANI): Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrashekhar Rao has announced that the new passbooks would be distributed among the farmers on March 11.
The Chief Minister declared that the distribution programme would be graced either by President Ram Nath Kovind or by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
In this programme, hailed as a model, all the details of land records were there with the government and new passbooks were being printed with this latest information.
Rao disclosed that all this information would be put online and the entire process would be operated like the Core Banking system on the website named as Dharani.
He said that a transparent and corrupt-free land and reforms based registration policy would come into force from March 11. The land administration and records would be done under jurisdiction revenue department, hence Vakati Karuna, Land Administration Director, is given the full additional charge as Commissioner Stamps and registration.
He added that based on this information, Input Subsidy scheme would be implemented and new passbooks will be distributed.
Rao also announced that the land transactions would be updated on the Dharani site like the Core Banking System. An exclusive I-T wing would be created and all the transactions updates of the land would be posted online the same day. The sale and purchase of lands can also be done with the Dharani information.
The Chief Minister has decided to make registration facility available at every Mandal Office for the benefit of farmers and people.
Rao said that to eradicate corruption, fake documents in registration, sale and purchase of lands, maintaining of the land records, transparency that the new reforms are being introduced.
"We should put an end to farmers and other people running around the government offices. They should come to the registration office only once. Registration should be done without giving any chance to corruption. The government is strengthening land records maintenance and reforms are brought in for the same purpose. Dharani would record every transaction", the Chief Minister said. (ANI)

I feel that we might need a linux sub forum for these issues as i'm sure there will be more following the release to steam.
I'm going to list known issues with ECO server on linux here tho.
If you have more please add to this so we can get something for devs to tinker with.
World Generation!, With linux via ELSM or running the mono command normally. Build time is about 50% longer.. but it will get there.
In-game skill tree missing some information on the images.
Server throws this error when a client refreshes the server list!.
[0x7fd8488fe700:] EXCEPTION handling: System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object
[0x7fd8484fc700:] EXCEPTION handling: System.ObjectDisposedException: Safe handle has been closed

[0x7fd8484fc700:] EXCEPTION handling: System.IO.IOException: Unable to read data from the transport connection: Cannot access a disposed object.
Object name: 'System.Net.Sockets.Socket'..) Note that I'm not actually attempting to connect this is just a refresh on the list.. Probably a LAN only error.
More to come...

Is there a roadmap to get the Linux server up to snuff? I've been running mine for a week now and there's just a mess of small problems that, after researching, seem to be stemming from the fact that my server is Linux and it's running through mono. I'm sure I'm not the only one.

Cut the meat into even pieces, season the flour then dust the meat in the flour.
Now brown the meat in a hot pan with a little oil.
Add the butter, onion, garlic, carrot and swede and continue to fry until all slightly coloured.
Add the red wine, lamb stock, tomato puree and bouquet garni, bring to the boil then cover and simmer gently for 1-2 hours in the oven at 180°C until the meat is tender.
When cooked remove from the oven. If you want the sauce to be thicker place on a low heat on the hob and add a teaspoon of cornflour and allow to thicken.
To finish the dish chop the fresh mint and sprinkle over the meat until combined.
For the kale, melt 50g of butter in a pan and add the kale.
Fry on a medium heat until the butter starts to glaze the kale. Then pour in a splash of water to steam the kale slightly, and continue cooking for about 2 minutes.
Season and serve.

Lenovo is coming into CES toting its most impressive all-in-one yet – even if there's not much to look at. That is because the Lenovo IdeaCentre A730 is coming in as the slimmest in its class, at just under an inch thick (24.5 mm/0.9 in). The 27" all-in-one PC will have the touchscreen required of any self-respecting Windows 8 device these days. That touchscreen has 10-point multi-touch, and can be tilted slightly forward or completely flat, and everywhere in between. A 1920 x 1080 resolution, 16:9 display is standard, but you can spring for a 2560 x 1440 display if you have a little extra cash to burn.
You'll be able to get up to a 3rd generation Intel Core i7 processor inside, along with an NVIDIA GeForce GT745M (2 GB) graphics processor. You can also get up to 8 GB of DDR3 RAM, and can choose between 1 TB of HDD storage or a 1 TB hybrid drive with an 8 GB SSD cache for faster boot-up times. You can get a DVD or Blu-ray drive, as well as a TV tuner. Ports include USB 3.0 and HDMI in and out. There's also a 720p HD webcam. Audio will be Dolby Home Theater v4.
Lenovo is also rolling out the C540, a 23" all-in-one that waters down some of the specs of the A730 to cut down on the asking price. This one will max out at a 3rd generation Intel Core i3 processor and an NVIDIA GeForce 615 (2 GB) graphics processor. Audio here will be from Dolby Advanced Audio v2. Everything else is the same as the A730, but the C540 will lack USB 3.0 and HDMI in. The multi-touch touchscreen will be an optional feature for the C540, and will cost you a little extra to tack on. You'll be able to get as much as 2 TB of HDD storage on the C540. There's no option for the TV tuner on this one.
The Lenovo IdeaCentre A730 will be available sometime this June for about $1,500, while the C540 will hit stores in February at a $550 price point. If you want to get a C540 with a touch screen, you'll have to wait until June, and you'll probably have to shell out a couple hundred more to get one.

With practiced ease, you answer a blow with a blow. Even when you are overwhelmed, your body deflects the force of the strike back to the attacker as a stunning wave of energy.
Prerequisite(s): Wis 13, Improved Unarmed Strike, Linnorm Style, Linnorm Vengeance, base attack bonus +9 or monk level 9th.
Benefit(s): When you use the Linnorm Vengeance feat to allow an enemy to hit you, you can make a retaliatory unarmed strike attack against that opponent as an immediate action. This acts as an attack of opportunity, and counts against the number of attacks of opportunity you can make each round. Additionally, once per day when a melee attack deals enough damage to knock you unconscious or kill you, the attacker must succeed at a Fortitude saving throw (DC = 10 + 1/2 your character level + your Wisdom modifier) or be stunned for 1 round. This save occurs after you make the retaliatory unarmed strike granted by the Linnorm Vengeance feat.

ISLAMORADA, Fla. — Autumn in South Florida isn't normally regarded as high season for catching dolphin. But captain Brian Cone, who operates the 33-foot catamaran charterboat Contagious, doesn't appear to be having any trouble.
In a recent five-hour fishing trip, Cone's party of five boated 20 blackfin tuna to about 20 pounds, then added 36 dolphin ranging from schoolies to 20-pound gaffers.
"Full contact," said a laughing Cone as his customers battled the fish.
It was one of those legendary fishing days where everything goes right.
Cone and mate Shannon Attales had no trouble locating a school of bait after they left Robbie's Marina. Three throws of the cast net in a secluded cove next to a bridge and Attales filled the Contagious' livewells with pilchards.
The tuna bite started moments after the Contagious arrived at its destination.
Cone motored slowly over the underwater precipice as Attales tossed out handfuls of bait. Gangs of midnight-blue and silver footballs quickly began to pop and splash behind the transom. Charter customers Doug Nylander, William Burns, and Gary Driggers — all of New Jersey — and Ralph Mahan of Arizona were given spinning rods in the 12- to 20-pound class with 1/0 circle hooks holding live pilchards.
They simply had to dangle the baits behind the twin outboards and all hooked up at the same time. The action went on non-stop for about an hour. After boating 20 fish and releasing about the same number, the group decided to shift gears and look for dolphin.
"There are just as many dolphin out here now as in the summer, but not as many birds to help you find them," Cone said. "This time of year, we target current edges and weed edges and you'll find debris along them."
Cone said dolphin can be easier to locate in the afternoon than in the morning because lines of sargassum typically float to the surface after midday.
Scanning the horizon from the Contagious' tower, Cone soon spotted a well-formed line of sargassum and debris in about 600 feet of water. He slowed down and Attales put out two rods trolling small squid skirts. Within minutes, two schoolies in the five-pound range devoured the artificials. Attales tossed out some pilchards and schoolies quickly swarmed around the boat.
Once again, all anglers were attached to bent rods as Attales and Cone scurried around the deck unhooking fish and stowing them in the fish box.
The bite continued fast and furious for about a half hour, then tapered off. As Cone pondered what to do next, he spotted a distant frigate bird that hovered, then flew off, then returned. Frigate birds are the Holy Grails of dolphin anglers because they locate large gaffers chasing flying fish up to the surface.
"That was a nice help," Cone said.
He motored quickly to the area where the frigate was flapping, put out the artificial squids, and was rewarded immediately with a double hook-up. Nothing huge, but keepers in the heavy-lifter range. And once again, a flock of blue-green chickens began to amass around the boat.
In the midst of the multiple fish-boating chaos, Cone spotted a larger dolphin hovering outside the mass of schoolies. He directed Attales to cast a bait to it, and the fish gulped it. After a 10-minute battle, a cow in the 20-pound range was gaffed and thrown into the fish box. Cone noted that pilchards are not the ideal bait for dolphin in summertime because mahis prefer the species they find around weed lines and debris.
"But now, there's not as much bait in the weeds," he said.
Though a frigate bird made his day, Cone said it's not necessarily his favorite for locating dolphin.
"I catch 90 percent of my fish on sooty terns," he said. "But they migrate away in August so they're not here to help you find the fish."
And Cone doesn't buy the argument of some Miami-area anglers who say Keys fishermen catch the lion's share of dolphin, leaving few for them.
"These fish have to go from here to Miami," he said. "They're not all getting caught. It's fishing pressure. They learn, and they go down deep."

Waaaaa!!!! (That was me not the baby)
7 comments:
Oh man! That sucks and I hope it gets better soon. Being a mommy is hard no matter what the issue. And it is okay to rant and cry when you need to. I hope you can get more sleep soon.ReplyDelete
Let's also keep in perspective that you are still recovering from surgery which also explains your lack of reserves. Hope you are allowing yourself to sleep some in the daytime. I am sure Rukia is happy to hold Emmet or play with Caleb. Take care of yourself.ReplyDelete
Oh dear... he's my nephew and I can't remember how old he is. I always know how old Caleb is-- 3 months older than Vicky-- but Emmet? Nope. Other than, "He's fairly recent," I'd have to check our family tree. I don't even remember what month you all visited us. April? May? I'm guessing he was 2 months old in May, making him about 5 months now? How off am I?ReplyDelete
My horrible, un-motherly advice is to stick a binky in his mouth. He doesn't physically need to eat every 30 minutes, so it's just the sucking that's quieting him. Now I will duck and cover as a million moms tell me off.
Rukia doesn't live with you? If she's there every day, then absolutely, please do as your mom says-- hand her both boys when she arrives in the morning and go to sleep! With earplugs! 5 months is old enough for baby cereal with expressed breast milk, so if he's hungry, Rukia can feed him that. I'm sorry, but my Outer Crazy is just as reasonable (yes, reasonable!) as your Inner Crazy: nowhere is it written in stone that mothers have to come within an inch of their sanity or personal health and safety just to keep their kids temporarily satisfied. I'm not suggesting you ignore or starve either child-- you are leaving them with a care-giver and a food supply. That is well within the framework of "acceptable parenting."Replies
Oh how I wish we could stick a binky in his mouth and oh how I've tried! He's just not that into it. I'd stick a bottle in his mouth too, but again no dice. I'm not dogmatic about this breast feeding thing, but both kids are pretty crazy about it. Marni's baby takes a paci and I see how much easier it makes her life. It's gotta be at least 2 or 3 times as easy. And when I was in the hospital Emmet pretty much refused a bottle with anything including breast milk in it for 2 days.Delete
But i agree with you that I should not have to sacrifice my sanity for my child. It would be much better for both of them to have a more emotional stable mother! Rukia does give me a few hours break generally when Caleb is napping and when I can tear myself away from this blasted computer I sleep.
But the good news is that Emmet is now sleeping 2-3 hours at a time at night, so we are out of the worst of it! But thanks for chiming in and reminding me to preserve my sanity!! : )
Major hugs and support coming your way. Waking up every 30 minutes is actually a form of torture, I'm sure of it. He will eventually move past it and adjust. I agree with the poster above. At 5 months there shouldn't be any problem with nip confusion over the pacifier and he could have a bit of cereal. Even if you don't want to do cereal, getting a few winks in between feedings during the day could really save your sanity, at least until he starts sleeping again. This is like newborn bootcamp all over again.ReplyDelete
I like your all post. You have done really good work. Thank you for the information you provide, it helped me a lot. I hope to have many more entries or so from you.ReplyDelete
Very interesting blog.

Help Support Stethoscopes for Students
As a medical student, husband, and father, Jeremy Freedman frequently finds himself short of time and money. So when the University of Miami Miller School Medical Alumni Association (MAA) surprised him with his very own stethoscope as part of its "Stethoscopes for Students" initiative, Freedman recognized it as the precious gift that it was.
"It is such an incredibly warm way to start my medical career, especially coming from alumni," he said.
Now in its third year, "Stethoscopes for Students" provides incoming medical students with new, Miller-branded stethoscope to help welcome them into the medical profession.
Through May, the MAA is asking alumni and faculty to help support the program, which is now working to provide stethoscopes for the incoming students in the Class of 2021.
Stethoscopes are one of the most enduring symbols of the medical profession, and students who receive this particular gift forge an instant connection with the school, faculty, and alumni.
Freedman is looking forward to the day when he can welcome the next generation of physicians into the Miller School, in the same way.
"Absolutely," Freedman said. "I can't wait to make someone feel the way I felt when I received my stethoscope."
The MAA invites you to support students like Jeremy. Donate today toward a stethoscope for the Miller School's #Canefunder campaign.

From our children in Argentina…
in honor of Shifchat-jah
Without me life is impossible
Because everyone needs company
To be able to be in harmony
And have a bond that is imperishable.
Wherever I go, I spread sweetness
as a comb dripping honey
Faithful I will always be
You will not fear for I am steadfast.
If you want to be with me
easy to reach you must be
and love your enemy
You must be friendly!
Can you tell who I am?... Friendship!
From Shifchat-jah, first posted January 14, 2014…
A life without love is lonely,
A life without hope is cruel,
A life without trust is empty,
but a life without good friends is no longer life.
Dear Nechonah,
How are you doing? I am doing o.k. I know it is not very easy for you right now, but endure. Our Father has a great plan for us.
Are you alone right now? Are you in a foster family or an orphanage?
I just want to let you know that I appreciate you for enduring. We were always good friends and we always liked each other. Now it is very different — through the use of the Jugendamt we don't see each other anymore.
Isn't it true, that a life without parents and good friends is no longer life? Often I think of the nice times we had together going swimming or milking goats together…
I wish we could just live together. We need to endure. I love you sooooooooooooooooo much! I miss you very, very much.
Your best friend forever,
P.S. I try everything so that I could visit you.
Yes, this is Shifchat-jah, the young girl
who ran away from foster care
to return to her family in the Community,
writing to her friend, Nechonah
who also ran away from foster care
to return to her family in the Community.
May our Father keep and bless them!
They are best friends!

Never actually got to finish burning an ISO. What other applications were doing in 30-45 mins on my machine, was now taking HOURS with this app. Made a serious mistake buying this app because it looked more 'polished' in the pictures than the other apps that had free trials.
trash that $25
Need to control the menu. This didn't allow for anything. $25 gone!
This used to work but now it is crashing when opening

I have illustrated many books before but a few weeks ago I delivered the first book I have both written and illustrated to the publishers. Not only was writing it a first, but it was also about maps and for adults – another couple of firsts. It was a total unknown for me and what a ride/learning curve/marathon it has been… To say I hit the road with only a very basic map to my final destination would be an understatement.
The deadline was an incredibly tight one – so tight that when I planned it out I knew there would be no weekends off or much of a social life for a couple of months. I would need to write 500 words a day and complete 5 illustrations by hand every week. Almost one picture every 24 hours. Usually I'd expect a couple of days for an illustration….
I wasn't totally sure it was doable but the only way to find out was to get pedalling and see.
It turned out that I loved writing although I had never really done any professionally before. I'd wake up and while I was still in bed, over toast and coffee, I'd start. The 500 word per day limit seemed daunting but actually I found I was writing more and having to heavily edit and cut back. My tendency was to go for wordiness and the struggle was to remember this was a fun 'how to' book about hand drawn cartography and not a scholarly treatise. I also had to find the balance between writing about me and my personal experience and writing for the reader. A tricky one realising how loud your ego can shout.
The research was heavy because the plan was to include writings about both historical and contemporary maps. My PC was jammed with a row of open sites and my reading list similarly stuffed with links. Pinterest became overloaded with a library of images I'd obsessively collected, finally divided into chapter headings after the sprawl got too much. The book will eventually run to a couple of hundred pages but I can't imagine what it must be like to write a novel or anything academic requiring way more research. I learnt so much though and it felt like a crash course in cartography.
Creating the illustrations was fun and meant I got to be particularly playful in my work. I'd planned out the design of the book initially so that each page looked different from the others with a variety of media. I got to incorporate the methods I used in my fine art practice and hand lettering (drawing in pen and ink) with the more painterly side of watercolour and gouache that you see in my picture book illustrations.
It started to become a very personal book; Friends and family became inspiration for any representations of people; maps were based on places I had visited like New York, Reykjavik and Tokyo.
Regularly working 10 hour days, I stopped when the light dimmed or my eyes started complaining. But somehow, because it was so enjoyable, that lovely combination of resentment, boredom and exhaustion never really came knocking.
And now I have delivered the final package to the publishers with a weird selection of envelopes of mock-ups for the photographer, covered drawings, paintings, digital scans and instructions written to an embarrassing level of control freakery. The say I have over the book may be small and my copious planning is perhaps slightly redundant, but this is all part of the learning curve. In the end, I am purely creating work (rather than a Nobel-Prize-winning life-time's worth of research) for a client who has his own remit and understanding of his market. Both my words and images may be changed to fit into this and it's good, if hard, to be accepting of that.
We will just have to see what comes of it all, won't we? However the final publication looks, the adrenaline fuelled insomniac scribbling, hours spent painting that just flew by and wonder-filled map discoveries will have been totally worth it. It's been some adventure.
And next time, if there is a chance to both write and illustrate another book, I'll be able to take a more detailed map with me for sure. In the meantime, a celebration is definitely in order.

We thank the beauty gods for the genius invention that is self-tanner every day. Without it, those of us with pale, pasty complexions would remain pale and pasty instead of beach-goddess bronzed for the majority of the year. Now, we can show off our tanned legs and glowing limbs sans sun—and for all of us who don't live near a beach (aka most people), this is a godsend.
And yet (there's always a yet, isn't there?), self-tanner—like the Bumble date who promises to call—doesn't always do what it promises. Some formulas will leave you with streaks while others leave blotches or don't do anything at all (or the opposite: They make you Oompa Loompa orange). To help us find out which fail-safe self-tanner women love the most, we turned to our friends at Rank & Style, a site that aggregates top-10 lists of all the best in fashion and beauty. Using its unique algorithm, Rank & Style did the math and came up with the one self-tanning product that won the popular vote.
Keep scrolling to see what it is!
It's no surprise that St. Tropez's cult favorite Bronzing Mousse is the self-tanner of choice for the majority of women. Applied with the brand's Tan Applicator Mitt ($7), the mousse glides on your body silky-smooth and leaves an instant tint behind. The color continues to develop as time passes, and by the time you've showered it off, your skin will look like you just got back from St. Barts—no orange hue in sight, and only the very, very slightest hint of self-tanner smell. (I personally swear by this product and can attest to its powers.)
Plus, it's perfect for pale girls—user RobynLB commented on Sephora's website, "I am fair skinned and have the color options of white, slightly less white, or red. Thanks to this product, I actually look tan for the first time in my life."
Head on over to Rank & Style to see the rest of the life-changing self-tanners on this list, and keep scrolling to shop some more of our favorites!
This mousse from Vita Liberata has a pHenO2 technology that promises to make your tan last up to four times longer than a regular tan.
Apply this body mask with a mitt for an even, glowing finish.
Getting bronze couldn't be easier with this aerosol formula. Just spray evenly, and then walk out the door.

On the market for an iPhone? Here's a breakdown of all the currently shipping iPhones from Apple.
Confirmed: iPad 3 Has a 2048x1536 Retina Display
MacRumors has now been able to obtain one of these iPad 3 displays and examine it under a microscope in an effort to determine whether it is indeed an ultra-high resolution Retina display. Physically, the purported iPad 3 display is the same size as the current iPad 1 and iPad 2 display at 9.7" in diagonal, and looks quite similar to the naked eye.
However, when comparing the iPad 3 display to one from an iPad 2 under a microscope, the difference in resolutions becomes readily apparent, with the iPad 3 display's pixels appearing to be one-quarter the size of those on the iPad 2.
Since we only had a raw iPad 3 display with no method to power it, taking high quality photos of the pixels was difficult. Still, even with the relatively poor lighting, you can easily make out the pixels on each display (made up of red, green and blue elements). We highlighted a cluster of 4 pixels (2x2) from the iPad 2 to compare it to the same area on the iPad 3. On the iPad 3, the same cluster was occupied by 16 pixels (4x4) -- exactly twice the resolution in each direction.
Extrapolating out, the iPad 3 screen should carry a full resolution of 2048x1536, exactly twice the linear resolution of the iPad 1 and iPad 2 which is 1024x768. Such a screen should be able to display much sharper images as compared to the previous generation iPads.
While these iPad 3 screens weren't directly sourced from Apple, they are labeled as OEM replacement parts for the iPad 3 and are apparently in mass production. The difficulties of any 3rd party in mass producing 2048x1536 9.7" Retina displays make us quite confident that these represent legitimate iPad 3 parts.
Apple is expected to introduce the iPad 3 with a media event on March 7, and the device is rumored to be carrying this high-resolution display, a new A6 system-on-a-chip, and LTE support for models with cellular data capabilities.

Apple Drops DRM from iTunes and Changes Pricing
Of course it was inevitable. iTunes was long left in the dust created by most of their competitors (AmazonMP3, Yahoo Music, Wal Mart, etc.) who dumped the dreaded DRM some time ago (or never instituted it in Amazon's case). DRM is what caused me to put iTunes to bed years ago. Now, perhaps I may fire iTunes up again and see what they have to offer. Kudos to you, Apple.
Oh now wait. They aren't just removing DRM and saying "Have a nice day." Apple also annouced a signficant change to their pricing structure. Now, based on popularity of any given track, the cost of a track will range from $0.69 to $1.29. Also, they are going to offer a $.30 per song charge to "unlock" the DRM-laden tracks you may have bought from them in the past. How generous. :-/
WHY I LIKE THIS NEW PRICING STRUTURE! From the stand point of us soundtrack collectors...well, I'm going to venture a guess that most of music you and I would want will be in the $.69 range. It all depends on how the pricing curve will work, of course. Will there be a hard price-to-demand-scale applied across all music genres or will it vary? Hopefully it will be the former and that should mean cheaper prices for us.
So what do you think about these changes? Hmmm?
You can read more about this annoucement here at Last100

Carl Ferdinand Cori was born in Prague, Austria-Hungary (in the present-day Czech Republic). He attended the Trieste Gymnasium from 1906 until 1914, interrupting his studies during World War I to serve as a sanitation officer for the Austrian army on the Italian front. In 1914, he enrolled in the German University in Prague to study medicine. He was awarded his M.D. degree in 1920, and moved to Vienna, where he was an assistant in the first medical clinic of the University of Vienna and later an assistant in pharmacology at the University of Graz. Cori emigrated to the United States in 1922 after being invited to take a staff position as a biochemist at the State Institute for the Study of Malignant Disease, later Roswell Park Memorial Institute, in Buffalo, New York. He remained in Buffalo until 1931, when he was appointed professor of pharmacology and head of that department at the Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, Missouri. In 1947, he became head of the Department of Biochemistry there. He remained in that position until his retirement in 1966.
Cori and his wife, Gerty Theresa Radnitz Cori, are most widely known for their work in carbohydrate metabolism. In St. Louis, the Coris studied glycogen and its conversion into glucose and, in a series of jointly published papers in the 1930s, they outlined their gradual discoveries of the mechanisms underlying the chemical conversion of glycogen by various enzymes and its hydrolysis into glucose. In 1936, they discovered a previously unknown compound, glucose--phosphate, which became known as the Cori-ester. Some of the Coris' work was the subject of a Journal of Biological Chemistry Classic (1). In 1947, the Coris were awarded the Nobel Prize in Medicine or Physiology.
In addition to the Nobel Prize, Cori was awarded many other honors. He received the Isaac Adler Prize (1943), the Lasker Award of the American Public Health Association (1946), the Sugar Foundation Prize (1947), the Squibb Award of the American Society of Endocrinologists (with Gerty Cori, 1947), and the Willard Gibbs Medal of the American Chemical Society (1948). Cori served as president of the American Society of Biological Chemists in 1949.

Ok, I am. I HAVE survived. A lot. Which is my point.
I think I have much to say on this topic, but perhaps social media and the need to get to the point has played into my lazy "how quickly can I get this done" mentality! So, hopefully for you – I will be short, concise and easily understood.
Saying "I am" is a deep statement. "I am" is about the depths of my soul. My innateness, my sheer existence and the things that make me specially me. If you are a quick thinker you may already have gone there…. "But don't your experiences make you who you are?" I've heard and thought that "Our experiences shape us" That's what I want to talk about. **disclaimer: I'm not done with me, so this particular piece will never really be done. Feel free to comment your thoughts after reading!
Religion, spiritual gurus and philosophers have been tackling the idea of "self" for as long as we've been thinking… And even though I think I am a deep thinker, in reality, I prefer to wade. I like the safety of the shore and the "idea of" the ocean. But if I go too deep I can feel the strong undertow and have to retreat back to a depth I can feel comfortable in. All that to say: I don't think this is gonna be too deep. 😉
Experiences vs Self
I think of my SELF as separate from what happens TO my self. So if you can hang with me there that would be cool. If I am my self, what happens to that self is a separate thing. So saying "I am a survivor" as in 'a person who survives' is still ok with me – except for the whole death thing. Should my headstone say "She thought she was a survivor. PWND!" Anyway…What's not ok? Marketing (oops, I mean 'awareness campaigns'). Glorifying of shitty situations. Making 'war heroes' out of people who have accomplished not dying. (That is everyone's goal. Everyone fails. Everyone.)
Let's break it down. I survived sexual abuse. I survived domestic abuse. I survived losing a child. I #survived breast cancer. But what I don't understand is that that last one earns me the hashtag rights. The "survivor" in quotes rights. Don't misunderstand me. I don't feel bitterness. I think we are victims of feeling good about ourselves based on marketing campaigns and a herd-like mentality. Again, don't misunderstand. I think we SHOULD feel good about ourselves. Our innateness. Our being. I think it's a pretty big deal to exist. The alternative is huge…. right. I feel GOOD that I exist. I like the me inside of me. I like the me I am being. I find flaws, things I don't think belong to that me – but mostly, I like me. I don't like many of the things that have happened to me.
And so my first question is; Why define myself by what has happened TO me? (side note: semi-colon??? I mean it's two complete thoughts, but maybe different punctuation is required here. Let me know in the comments, I am blogging and don't have time/inclination to research proper punctuation.)
"Why define myself by what has happened to me?" Why identify with, any more than necessary, the role of a victim, for example? Sure, stuff I have experienced is shitty. Actually, really traumatic. Some people DON'T survive – they die as a result of their sufferings – accidentally-ish, we call that manslaughter sometimes, or purposefully- or they are so stuck they kill themselves to escape. There are levels of survivorship too, right? Some people manage to live through the horrible things that happen to them only to be stained, sometimes for their entire lives…. choosing situations that perpetuate feelings of or actual continued victimization. They can't talk about what's next for them because their minds are stuck in what happened to them. They can't feel joy in shitty moments because they are still reeling from past shitty moments. No. This isn't an indictment. I don't know why some people are able to move on and others aren't. It weighs pretty heavy on my heart. I was stuck for a VERY long time. I was a #survivor, an #overcomer. For me, THAT was the problem.
Wearing my experiences like a badge. But that badge is a label. It's an I AM. It defines, or represents at least, the depths of me. Like the bigger, badder shit I went through… the better person I was. Do you realize how messed up that is? I am not what has happened to me, it actually has little to DO with my me-ness. This logic in turn takes AWAY from the me-ness of others. What if you never suffered horribleness? Does that make it any less amazing that you exist? Is your uniqueness any less unique or beautiful? Where's YOUR hashtag? How will we #recognize you and easily label you? How will people know where to give their money so they feel like they've "done something". No. I didn't just say giving money is a way to feel like you are doing something without actually doing something (but sometimes it is). I also didn't say that donating to research, cures, and programs that help people is bad. Here's the other thing about that 'badge of honor' #survivor… it feels like a competition and I WON! I won the prize. Those who died didn't. They didn't "WIN!" The subtle and sometimes overt implication is that they were 'weaker' or somehow 'less than' or – the opposite, they are worshipped. They are 'true heroes'. I call bullshit. Let's not just think in 1's and 0's… blacks and whites. And don't think that just because I am writing this my thoughts are finished, proven and refined. I, like you, am still figuring out what I think about ALLLLLL this. (life, suffering, joy, existence) I also still don't have a favorite color. I know. ugh.
So when I think about me, I think about what drives me. I sense what drives me by recognizing the types of things I want to accomplish. I want people to live in joy. I want to help people around me live meaningful lives. I want people to be self-actuated. I want people to figure out the good stuff in ways that give meaning to them- and hopefully the rest of us. I want to point to the good stuff, generate my own good stuff and kind of roll around in it. Then I want to hop to my feet and run to the next good stuff. Being present during the bad stuff – mine and yours is part of that. Living through the bad stuff isn't who I am, it's a consequence of being alive. It can be part of my rolling in the good stuff. Sitting with you, listening to you when you are sad. That is pretty precious. To experience the honor of being present as the depths of your being is revealed is a huge thing. It reminds me of my smallness in this world and my greatness in that I, too, exist. It can be laying on a table in a big room while the amazing RADIATING MACHINE pushes it's rays through my skin to kill the nasty cancer that happened to me. Did I "Kick cancer's ass"? Well, I think the doctors and "The Radiators" kicked cancer's ass. I didn't do much but show up. Did I impact the people around me anyway? Yup. That's ME.
Am I a #survivor, though? Yes, I lived through it. I am NOT saying you were wrong to be excited for me. I am NOT saying you were wrong to say "Yay, you are now a "survivor"!" because that was you being happy I didn't die from breast cancer. (Shit! I'm glad, too!) I am glad that you are using the best words you have to say those things. Thank you. But to answer my real question; no, I am no more a "survivor" than anyone else in this world. You may think I am because my shitty bad stuff looks big and scary to you. But, guess, what… there is worse. There is stuff I wonder often about how people come out of with their selves in tact. But when I look you in the eye, I don't see someone less than, or more than. I look for a friend, a fellow exister. (That just made me smile SO BIG!) Just THINK what life would look like if we could shake ourselves free from our experiences. Stop the subtle and overt comparing. Step away from the pink ribbons and the black flags and the iconery and hashtags and the stuff that feed the money mill for just a bit….
Isnt' it crazy that a KNOWN fundraiser (I LOVE fundraising!) is talking like this? A cynical "money mill" statement thrown into the mix?! Let me clarify a bit…I want my/your money and effort to go the actual things that are important to me or you. I want you to KNOW that TOO many people are trafficked for sex and slavery (those words don't need to be separated, do they?). I want you to know that there are ways to detect breast cancer. I want you to help pay for cures and research and people's overwhelming medical bills during crazy difficult (physically, mentally, emotionally) times. I don't do pink ribbons or #hashtags too often because I think they make us just a little complacent. They DON'T remind us that we are responsible for what we do with the tools we have (our brains, our money) and to have great marketing doesn't mean you deserve our dollars. It also doesn't mean you don't.
It means that WE are sometimes too lazy about intentionality, about thinking and about loving each individual just because they exist. It's easy to let marketing campaigns make us feel good and important more than actually BEING GOOD and recognizing our innate importance.
- #protip Great marketing can encourage laziness and a 'sense of doing good' when there are better good things to do. There are lists that show how much $$ leaders of nonprofits makes and percentages of dollars that go to admin vs the actual cause. Admin is important as is good leadership. Just don't assume it's good because there is a 'pink ribbon' (or other easily recognizable icon) attached to it.
- Labelling people is constrictive. What if the cancer comes back? Do we remove the hashtag? Oh, sorry… #notasurvivorreally. Or do you get extra hashtags for each "surviving"? What are the RULES!?!?!? #beyourownlabel
- We need to free ourselves from the judgement of 'not enough' and focus our energy on BEING in the best sense. Victimization is evil, I will not define myself by the moments someone or something else has threatened my being. I am above or maybe even simply OTHER than that.
- We all die. Surviving is what we do everyday… until we don't. Living in recognition of the level playing field is a beautiful. There are people smarter, taller, less smart, shorter, more brilliant, stronger, weaker… then I am. But I think we are all part of the same. (No. Don't stay with your abusive spouse… that's not beautiful. Let them find their innate worth…and yours – and then maybe we can talk).
- I've spent my life trying to be good and right and follow all the rules and find all the right rules and be the right things to all the people and suffer well and live strong and I've been mistaken. The best is to be. To BE me. To not mind the rules… I mean if you don't want me to step on your grass, I will totally try not to. Not because I agree that your grass is more important that my feet, but because YOU are. Life takes balance. Balancing who you are with who others are. Sometimes there isn't healthy balance in those spaces. Move on.
Or should I say #moveon 😉

I'm guessing everyone has witnessed the unhinged shoulder gyrations of Theresa May in Parliament yesterday. But it isn't the first time that Tories have struggled with passing themselves off as being human.
Obviously the Tories hire someone to 'coach' them in appearing like human beans, both Mr and Mrs Beans. What strikes me as incredible is that the Tory party have paid someone who has told them to stand like that, coached them to stand like that, had them practice in front of them and critiqued them, and these extra terrestrials have not dismissed it as absurd but have been gullible enough to stand in public as if they have defecated in their pants. THESE 'people' think that they are capable to run our country?
Even if you put aside the ministry for silly standing, the fact that human beings have to hire a coach to try and teach them how to act like human beings is a damning indictment on what we permit to become politicians.
It isn't limited to standing, the Venutians have talky talky lessons too:
But I understand why May descended into a shoulder heaving fit, she's a terrible public speaker. Her 'people' know she's such a terrible public speaker that, rather than feeding her one of her terrible 'jokes' to throw back at Jeremy Corbyn when he collars her during PMQs again, May's team coached her to respond to the expected awkward question by feigning laughter. Hysterical laughter. Unhinged laughter. Maniacal laughter.
Yes, you will look absolutely ridiculous but not as ridiculous as you do when you open your mouth and not as ridiculous as you'll look standing at the dispatch box, for yet another PMQs, where you clearly come off third or fourth or non-league best.
May's team needed a dead whoopee cushion to throw into the room at PMQs and they identified that it was far better for May to sacrifice her dignity, which she clearly places no value on, than be faced with the awkward indignity of being an appalling public speaker, as well as an appalling prime minister, overseeing an appalling government, with an appalling cabinet of equally appalling non and barely human beans. Theresa May cannot even laugh like a normal human being.
Plus they knew that she would get an easy ride in the media. Britain's Prime Minister has a break down during PMQs, taking, what was, a farce and morphing it into a grotesque. Gawd luv 'er an' naw mishtake Maree Puppins.

This is my favorite photo from our trip last fall to Meleen's southern Vermont house. It captures everything that I loved best about it - drinking coffee on the porch in our pajamas, talking, planning the afternoon adventure, new friends, great laughs. And Meleen, the most amazing, energetic host to our fabulous weekend.
She and I are teaming up to host a weekend this coming October 3-6. Peak season for autumn leaves, antiquing, farmer's marketing, tag sailing and crafting (and all the in-between good times of a small gathering in side-by-side houses). There will be more news to come. Time to let you know so you can start thinking about it.
I blogged about it here last year, and the photos to follow are just a little refresher. (If you are new to this blog, click here to see an event I hosted awhile ago.)
Nothing like New England in the fall. We're pretty excited! It's going to be so much fun!
Details to come.

"Waiting On Wednesday" is a weekly event, hosted over at Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases we're eagerly anticipating.
This week, what's really got my pages in a twist is...
Publication Date: May 15, 2018
Hardcover, 512 pages, Balzer + Bray
Genres: YA, Fantasy
B&N | Book Depository | Amazon | Goodreads
They call her Traitor Kate. It's a title Kate Brighton inherited from her father after he tried to assassinate the high king years ago. Now Kate lives as an outcast, clinging to the fringes of society as a member of the Relay, the imperial courier service. Only those most skilled in riding and bow hunting ride for the Relay; and only the fastest survive, for when dark falls, the nightdrakes—deadly flightless dragons—come out to hunt. Fortunately, Kate has a secret edge: she is a wilder, born with magic that allows her to influence the minds of animals. But it's this magic that she needs to keep hidden, as being a wilder is forbidden, punishable by death or exile. And it's this magic that leads her to a caravan massacred by nightdrakes in broad daylight—the only survivor her childhood friend, her first love, the boy she swore to forget, the boy who broke her heart.
The high king's second son, Corwin Tormane, never asked to lead. Even as he waits for the uror—the once-in-a-generation ritual to decide which of the king's children will succeed him—he knows it's always been his brother who will assume the throne. And that's fine by him. He'd rather spend his days away from the palace, away from the sight of his father, broken with sickness from the attempt on his life. But the peacekeeping tour Corwin is on has given him too much time to reflect upon the night he saved his father's life—the night he condemned the would-be killer to death and lost the girl he loved. Which is why he takes it on himself to investigate rumors of unrest in one of the remote city-states, only for his caravan to be attacked—and for him to be saved by Kate.
With their paths once more entangled, Kate and Corwin have to put the past behind them. The threat of drakes who attack in the daylight is only the beginning of a darker menace stirring in the kingdom—one whose origins have dire implications for Kate's father's attack upon the king and will thrust them into the middle of a brewing civil war in the kingdom of Rime.
My Thoughts
I read Mindee Arnett's Avalon duology, and I loved it. I'm excited to see what she can do with a fantasy story. I don't know too much about this book because I refuse to read the full description. One, because it's so freakin' long, and two, because I kind of just want to go in a little blind. I know it's YA, and it's fantasy. I don't think I need much more than that.
What book are you waiting for this Wednesday?

National Sandwich Day: five of the best breads
November 3, 2017 7:00 am Leave your thoughts
It's National Sandwich Day – celebrating the awesomeness of things stuck between slices of bread once again. We can't get enough of sandwiches in the UK. Ever since the Duke of Sandwich did (or possibly didn't) ask for his meat to be served between bread to avoid interrupting his gambling game, we've been munching on sandwiches day in and day out, for centuries. According to reliable internet sources, we currently get through 11.5 billion sandwiches in the UK each year, which if laid end to end, would cover a very long distance, and if stacked one on top of the other, would be the equivalent of a very large number of double-decker buses.
What are our favourite sandwiches in the UK? The top ten, according to a study commissioned by Bird's Eye (which may have something to do with no. 2 on the list), are as follows:
- Ham and cheese
- Fish fingers
- Chicken and bacon
- Chicken and mayonnaise
- Sausage
- Cheese and tomato
- Crisp
- Tuna and cucumber
- Egg and cress
It seems that when we make a sandwich in the UK, we're looking for familiarity and ease, rather than, say, crayfish and cranberry with smoked paprika.
The best bread for the best sandwich
If you're going to eat the best sandwiches – and especially if you're really not branching out with fillings – then the only thing that really matters is the wondrousness of your bread. We've got five top breads, and bread flours, to suggest to you.
Soft white loaf
For No. 2 (fish fingers), No. 7 (cheese and tomato), No. 6 (sausage) and No. 8 (crisp), you really need a soft white loaf. We sell the most amazing organic white flour, which produces a beautifully soft loaf. You'll need ketchup too, which we sell in organic versions here.
Pitta bread
There's nothing worse (in sandwich terms) than bits of filling falling out. If you're making a fully stuffed BLT, stick it in a pitta bread (see the recipe on our blogs), to keep it all intact. And do try this amazing mayonnaise in it, too.
No. 3 (chicken and bacon) and No. 4 (chicken and mayonnaise) work well with a firm bread, in which their strong flavours can hold their own. Try this recipe here.
Granary bread
Use one of these granary flours to make a lovely bread with a good texture. Perfect for both No. 1 (ham and cheese) and No. 9 (tuna and cucumber). We'd definitely be sticking in some of our top-class mayonnaise too.
The Grant loaf
This is a wholesome, sturdy, artisan-like loaf and one of the very easiest to make at home. We've got the recipe for it here. Nutty and rich in taste, this is a country-kitchen type of loaf. If you're making No. 10 (Egg and cress), go for this one.
Our vegan fillings
There's only one filling up there that could even remotely be called vegan – yet there are many amazing vegan options out there. At Naturally Good Food, we stock a growing range of vegan pates, which are perfect in any of the breads above. What about our buckwheat and chia pate, or chickpea and sesame spread – or this bright red pepper and almond variety?
