Alleviate Foot Pain with Reflexology & Kenkoh Sandals
A Case for Kenkoh Sandals
The average person is going to take about 4000 to 6000 steps a day, so there is no doubt that a person depends on his or her feet a lot. Sadly, many people do not take care of their feet like they should; this mostly deals with misinformation and cultural influence.
Take women, for example, who wear shoes to make their feet look slender or small. Some women also wear uncomfortable and unnatural high heels, which just adds pressure to the feet. This is one of the reasons why women have foot and heel pain. Men may not have to deal with small-sized shoes or heels that are too high, but that does not mean they will not experience foot issues. Both men and women walk incorrectly, which adds pressure to the feet.
To walk correctly, one must first hit the floor with the ball of the heel, and gradually press the foot down. One should end up pushing the foot off the ground using the big toe. Most people step flat on the ground, which is shocking to the foot.
This is one reason why many people are looking for a way to deal with foot pain. One of the most effective ways to deal with this type of pain is reflexology, which is a massage-like therapy that is performed by a trained massage therapist. The therapist applies pressure to certain points on the body to stimulate blood circulation. This is usually done on the feet or hands. But reflexology points exist on other areas of your body like your ears. These points are connected to different areas of the body, meaning that blood will attempt to reach those areas faster.
It is important to note that blood is an essential tool to deal with pain or inflammation, as it carries all the nutrients that help cure inflammation. Reflexology is ideal for all sorts of pains, including foot pain. The only problem that you have to deal with is you cannot solely depend on reflexology to obtain foot health. Many people simply cannot see a reflexologist every day.
Thankfully, most reflexologists would recommend an alternative to help you when you are not getting a massage. The alternative is reflexology sandals called Kenkoh sandals. These are specialized massage sandals or "spa slippers" that have little plastic nubs that massage your feet as you walk about. The nubs are designed to hit certain acupuncture points that help relieve pain, especially foot pain. These sandals are definitely a good way to help your feet when you cannot get to your reflexologist.
Perhaps, the best thing about these sandals is the designers did not assume that you would only have foot pain. The points that these sandals hit are good for an array of other issues like insomnia, depression, liver issues, heart problems, cognitive functions, and a lot of other health problems that you may have. You might be treating a problem that you did not even know you had by simply walking around your home.
Of course, it is important that you actually use the Kenkoh sandals as they are meant to be used. Wearing them while you lay down is not going to do much. Be sure to walk around your home when you are using these sandals to maximize the health benefits that they are meant to give you. This does not mean that you cannot relax at all because you can. All it means is that you have to walk for at least 20 minutes when you are wearing them, though it is advisable to aim for a little more than 20 minutes.

Mehandi Shampoo Bars
1 Recommendation
HaileyCosmic's recommendation
I use henna and indigo on my hair about 2x's a year. I love it so much better than chemical dyes. It makes my hair shiny and I don't have to worry about damage. Recently my favorite place to buy henna came out with shampoo bars. I am floored! When they say it makes your fat they are not kidding. I have tons of hair but my individual hairs had always been fine. After about 3 weeks of using the bar shampoo I can see a huge difference in my hair size. Of course my hair has more gloss and shine. When I finish washing my hair does not feel as if all the moisture is gone. It just feels clean. I've tried a few of these and they work great on my oily scalp but normal ends hair. *Tip do not store these in the shower near water or they will shrink fast similar to how more natural based soap does in the shower. *Just wanted to add that if you are using Henna to color you hair avoid ones with salt. Also body art quality Henna works best.

Citation: Hansen, J., Carlton, R., Adams, S., Lacey, L.A. 2008. Infrared Detection of Internal Feeders of Deciduous Tree Fruits. Journal of Entomological Science (43)1:52-56. Interpretive Summary: The tree fruit industry desires a rapid automated method on the packing line that will recognize apples infested with codling moth. Researchers at the Yakima Agricultural Research Laboratory (Wapato, WA), in collaboration with West Coast Infrared (Kennewick, WA), examined the use of infrared thermoimaging to detect codling moth infested apples. Infested fruits were successfully identified with this visual process. Because the images are digital, computer-controlled fruit sorting may be possible under current packing house conditions.
Technical Abstract: Codling moth, Cydia pomonella (L.) (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae), is a worldwide pest of apple and pear. Due to the severity of codling moth in agroecosystems, it is a quarantine pest in countries where it is not considered an established species. Detection of codling moth infestations in exports intended for these countries is crucial to the U. S. apple industry. Tests were conducted on infrared thermoimaging that demonstrate detection of infestation by codling moth larvae, in apples. The system is dependent on subtle but significant differences in surface temperature between infested or entry sites and nearby uninfested sites. Because the imaging data are digital, computer programs can be used to rapidly and effectively sort infested fruits from the packing line.

According to a report in the DailyMail, United chief David Gill travelled to Croatia in a bid to sign Dinamo Zagreb's £15 million-rated young midfielder Alen Halilovic.
The 16-year-old sensation is tipped to surpass the likes of Luka Modric, attracting top European clubs including Real Madrid and the Manchester giants.
United are also keen on another City target defender Sime Vrsaljko. The 20-year-old right-back could follow Halilovic with a surprise £20 million double deal.
Mancini was left furious over the way City handled business during the summer transfer market. City lost out to United for the signature of Arsenal striker Robin van Persie.

"I really liked the coaching staff. I feel really comfortable around them. I think I fit in good with them. Coach [Warren] Belin was my recruiting coach. I really like him. He is a nice guy."
"I went up there and visited about two or three weeks before I committed. I thought it was a really nice campus. They have very good facilities. The weight room is nice as well. They are building new dorms that will be ready when I get there. They are going to be very nice."
The 6-6, 230-pound prospect was recruited to play on the defensive side of the ball. Thompson recorded a 4.75 in the 40-yard dash and a 4.33 in the short shuttle. He will bring a lot of speed and quickness to the Commodores.
"They recruited me to play defensive end. I don't mind playing defense at all. I like tight end and defensive end the same," Thompson said.
"I feel my biggest strengths as a defender are my size and speed. I am trying to gain more weight before I get to college."
Thompson is finished with his recruitment and is 100-percent committed to Vanderbilt.

Volvo Ocean Race - Sailors bid adieu to Lisbon
by Volvo Ocean Race on 11 Jun 2012
Groupama Sailing Team, skipper Franck Cammas from France, waves to the crowds, at the start of leg 8, from Lisbon, Portugal to Lorient, France, during the Volvo Ocean Race 2011-12. Ian Roman/Volvo Ocean Race©
The teams in the Volvo Ocean Race left the dock at Lisbon just before midday local time, ready for the penultimate Leg 8 on what has turned out to be the closest ever Volvo Ocean Race. Here are some final thoughts from the competing teams.
Damian Foxall - Groupama (First place; 189 points): I don't think we could have ever hoped to have been in a better position right now, but our lead is really on a small number of points. It really is a restart here in Lisbon. We've got a couple of places on Telefónica, and a couple more on Puma, but with two legs and two inshores to go there's still a lot of sailing left.
It's pretty classic for the next 24 hours – there's nice Portuguese trades blowing with a bit of compression with the high off the Azores. It will probably be a very nice start – the river here was a fantastic location for the In-Port and I expect it will be again for the leg start. Then of course we'll be sailing fast out towards the Azores before a big slow-down in the Azores High. How we get through it and who gets through first will probably be the key to this whole leg.
It's a long time since we were back in France. The project started there two and a half years ago and it'll be good for us all to be back to familiar surroundings after a whirlwind tour. For the French guys it will be great to get home and after that it's not too far to Galway.
We've got a momentum that established after Abu Dhabi. From there on we've been doing well, even on the inshores which we weren't too comfortable with initially. We've blown that idea out of the water. Everyone can make mistakes but all in all we're on the up and that's a key part of winning the Volvo Ocean Race – to continue momentum and keep getting better. We've just got to keep going.
Joca Signorini - Team Telefónica (Second; 181): In the last in-ports we haven't had our best results so far but this is a key point of the race and we still only need to do well. Our mindset is just to keep doing the best we can. We're still the best team in terms of offshore points. We believe in our team, believe in our boat, and so far we're the only team not to change the crew.
Ken Read - Puma (Third; 176): It's going to be pretty important, it's going to be tight reaching in breeze, conditions that Groupama have been quite strong in. We're going to need a little help in this tight reaching stuff. We're going to try a few new things, but it hasn't been our strongest condition, so we might be in a position where we have to just hang on in the tight reaching and hopefully in the power running after the Azures we'll do some damage then.
Chris Nicholson - Camper (Fourth; 166): It's looking like a fair bit of jib reaching or fractional zero reaching. If it's like that, it's ok for us. We'll hang in there with them until the Azores. I think it's all looking pretty quick – some are saying five days but I don't believe that, I think it will be more like six days. But it's a fairly quick trip to Lorient and we could get a lot of breeze on the way back from the Azores to Lorient. There will be a little bit of compression going into the Azores but you'd still prefer to be in the lead at that point because you'll probably break out sooner.
Then it's about how you deal with this low pressure at the end. I'm kinda hoping it's a big system which it's possibly shaping up to be. We haven't seen these boats running in 30 knots plus so it would be like a whole new field to play on.
Can you still win? Absolutely. Especially when you've got a forecast like this. The boats haven't sailed in this much breeze and so boats will break. We're hoping we're not one of them, but boats will definitely break in those conditions. Or, you have to throttle back a long way. There's a lot of risk and reward on this leg. We understand the points, we understand the fleet's position and we have faith in our team and in our boat.
Ian Walker - Abu Dhabi (Fifth; 107): The first part of the leg is going to be a drag race and we might struggle a bit in the reaching conditions – we know we're not as quick as the other boats there. But the Azores High is going to give us a chance to get back into it, and there's also going to be some heavy weather downwind conditions which we've not seen all the boats in so far this race. We're all very pumped for this next leg – the win into Lisbon was amazing for the team and we've very much enjoyed out time at the top.
Aksel Magdahl - Sanya (Sixth; 34): It's basically going to be reach over to the Azores, starting in 20 knots of breeze as soon as we get out of here, and ending in not much wind at São Miguel. It's more or less a drag race over there. We'll probably sail a little bit south initially to get a better angle but there won't be too much navigation do to there. Our focus will be on the start, the first couple of hours.
Hopefully that high is going to get in the way so there's some opportunities there. We're basically sailing into a huge high pressure. Then it's about who can get out of that high first after we round São Miguel. Whoever gets out first will be in better breeze and a couple of more knots of breeze. I reckon it will be really hard to catch anyone who accelerates out of that high before you. Of course we're sailing to an area with less certain breeze in Lorient so there could be something happening at the end there.
There doesn't look to be any opportunities before the Azores. There might be one there with the high and with the local conditions of the islands we're rounding. Definitely the fleet will compress there. It's going to be a little bit tough on us with our boatspeed and it's going to be a glamour leg for Groupama, but we'll see. Also, getting further north in Europe the breeze becomes more uncertain and you could find yourself in better breeze or no breeze. We'll just have to wait and see.

odd size closet openings
i have a closet with the size being 57 x 80 what can i do to put a closet door up? All my closets are that size
closet doors
80" is standard height. The openings were probably made for 5' bipass doors (sliders). They give full access, and are easy to install w/ no modifications.
closet doors
closet doors slabs aren't quite 80". The whole outfit installs inside and under finished sheetrock. That's what I meant by no modificatoins. Even if 80" is rough framing, it's still tall enough for closet doors. Regular doors should have 82" rough opening. the 80" door slab plus the frame. Closet doors have no frame and are 'retrofit' after sheetrock. They are shortened so there's room for the hanger track at top and carpet at the bottom. All of it fits underneath 80"
Bipass doors are not prehung because they aren't hinged. Install, then trim to suit. If the homeowner wanted double swinging doors, the opening IS too small. Both ways. He would need a longer and higher header, and a wider r.o. -82"x62"
I know bipass doors aren't prehung. I've always install jambs first and then the door plus casing. Therefore the RO height has to be bigger than what he has. The width doesn't mater in his case because he can get smaller doors. That's if he's talking about bipass doors, what makes you think he is?
"Bi-Fold" doors here fit in a finished 80 inch opening. Maybe the OP can give a few details about what he wants.
bifold doors would work on heighth too. I didn't mention them because they come as 5 footers. Since they don't 'pass' each other in the opening, I'm not sure 57" is wide enough. They might though, it would be worth taking a tape measure to the store to see. As far as 'casing' the opening, if you do it afterwards the casing helps hide the track and the edges of the doors. Plus no remodeling the opening.

6. 4. 2007 - CSA Establishes Two New Subsidiaries – Air Cargo Terminal and Air Czech Catering
Prague, April 6, 2007
Two new subsidiary companies of Czech Airlines (CSA) were registered with the Czech Commercial Registry in early April. The first of the newly established companies is Air Cargo Terminal a.s., which is the operator of the recently built cargo terminal at Prague's airport and which is in charge of general air cargo handling services. The second of the companies is Air Czech Catering a.s., which has taken over all of CSA's catering functions. Both companies are 100% owned by Czech Airlines.
The establishment of the new subsidiary entities was approved in January at a special shareholders' meeting and the decision was the first step in the planned sale of both companies. CSA however only intends to sell the companies if the sale would be advantageous to the airline.
Czech Airlines has retained the cargo handling operations for its own aircraft, which will allow the carrier to continue to offer its own cargo carrying services. CSA Cargo will therefore continue to be operated as a strategic business unit of the airline, offering air cargo services for the shipping of goods and mail. The new subsidiary, Air Cargo Terminal, will be in charge of the clearance of the goods and all other handling services.
As of April 1st, 534 CSA employees were transferred to the newly established subsidiaries. As of the same date, the Czech Civil Aviation Authority issued a permit to provide handling and ground services at Prague's Ruzyně Airport to the new subsidiaries.
Vladimír Perný became the Director and Chairman of the Board of the newly set up subsidiary Air Cargo Terminal. Before April 2007, he worked as the head of CSA Cargo. Jan Grabmüller, who previously held a position as a sales manager, will become the new head of CSA Cargo, which is a standalone sales unit of Czech Airlines. František Ševčík became the Director and Chairman of the Board of the new subsidiary Air Czech Catering. He previously worked as the Executive Director of CSA's onboard services unit.
Brief Resumes
Vladimír Perný (38) – went to school at the Prague University of Economics and between 2002-2003, he attended De Paul University Chicago/CMC Čelákovice and received an MBA. He joined Czech Airlines in early 2006 from the firm Čechofracht, where he had worked for the last 13 years in a number of management positions – the last of which was as the Director of Sales. After joining CSA, he became the Director of the CSA Cargo unit. He speaks English and Russian.
Jan Grabmüller (36) – attended Charles University in Prague with a major in physical education and sports. From 1993-1997, he worked for British Airways World Cargo in customer service and sales positions. From 1997-2005, he worked for KLM Royal Dutch Airlines as Business Development Manager and later as the Cargo Sales Manager for the Czech Republic and Slovakia. In this position, he was responsible for the development of the local cargo sales office. In 2005, he became a Senior Project Manager at Air France – KLM, where he was responsible for the integration of cargo sales operations in a newly set up holding company. He has been with CSA Cargo since mid-2005, where he last worked as the Cargo Sales Manager. Jan Grabmüller speaks fluent English and some German, Russian and Norwegian.
František Ševčík (32) – went to school at the Prague University of Economics. From 1999-2003, he worked as a manager at the Gebrueder Weiss logistics firm, where he was involved in logistics operations and later in sales. Between 2003-2005, he worked for the Maersk Agency as a Senior Sales Executive. He joined CSA in 2005 as a CRM Manager and in the middle of 2006, he was appointed to direct the airline's catering unit. František Ševčík speaks English, German and some Russian.

Eleanor Roosevelt Leadership Center Hails Steinem, Others
Surely, in the light of history, it is more intelligent to hope rather than to fear, to try rather than not to try. For one thing we know beyond all doubt: Nothing has ever been achieved by the person who says, `It can't be done.' – Eleanor Roosevelt the best known living proponent of American feminism; a fierce, smart, and energetic advocate for gender equality who first emerged on the political scene in the 1960s and has been active ever since.
On Sunday at the Eleanor Roosevelt Val-Kill Medal Award & Brunch Ceremony, Steinem—along with Joan Davidson, the Hudson Valley Federal Credit Union, Glen Johnson, Senator Patrick Leahy, and Marcelle Pomerleau Leahy—was honored for her lasting humanitarian contributions. She agreed to an interview while we were there; the COURIER received a special invitation to cover the event.
The Eleanor Roosevelt Leadership Center described Gloria Steinem as, "Extraordinary social justice activist; Change agent; Galvanizer." But especially significant to us is the fact that Steinem is also an accomplished journalist and author.
Now 79, she's instantly recognizable with her trademark hair and glasses. In person, she's warm and engaged, a thoughtful conversationalist. This native of Toledo, Ohio was raised by a mother who revered Eleanor Roosevelt, and Steinem recalls vividly how that informed her own perception of women's capabilities.
Steinem is a Phi Beta Kappa graduate of Smith College, a historic women's school in Northampton, Mass. We asked her, "How important is it to you that women have safe spaces for education?"
She responded, "I believe that we should support the historically female campuses and the historically black campuses because if we're in that group or groups that's not central to society we need to have that experience of centrality at least once in our lives."
As for the future of women in American politics? "What we make it. Only what we make it. It's never been about biology; it's always been about consciousness. …There will always be some men who are better feminists than some women, but the best combination is when it comes together, when you know what it's like to walk around as a female for 30 or 40 years in this culture."
As for the role of feminism in today's world, Steinem said, "We've barely begun." Asked what a modern-day feminist should be working on, she added, "There are no 'shoulds.'" It's important, she said, that "we support each other in our diversity, not that we dictate one goal."
On Eleanor Roosevelt, Steinem said, "She was a big part of my childhood. She was the single thing that connected my mother to the government." And, Steinem added, "Because she stayed true to herself, her message about human rights is as fresh and inspiring now as it was when she was alive…"
Kathleen Durham, who is the president of the Eleanor Roosevelt Leadership Center, welcomed all of the honorees and guests for a meet-and-greet reception followed by a festive luncheon at which the medals were conferred.
Steinem has traveled extensively and written seriously about the cultures in which women are key participants.
"What we are all demonstrating in different ways is that people are people and that gender is an artificial invention. …What inspires me are the original cultures," some on this continent, "who didn't have gender [roles]… Right where we're sitting there was a nation of the Iroquois Confederacy in which women were…part of every decision making structure."
Our final question for Steinem was. "What are you most proud of?"
Her smiling reply: "I haven't done it yet."

Are you still looking for music zines?
I'm coming out with one soon with some fairly big names being interviewed in it.

Drift Station Open Call for Artist Books, Zines, and Other Publications
Curated by Angeles Cossio and Jeff Thompson
Exhibition: March 2nd – April 26th
Opening Reception: Friday, March 2nd
- - - -
Drift Station, an artist-run gallery and performance space in Lincoln, Nebraska, is calling for artist books, zines, comics, small presses, and other non-traditional publications. For the duration of the exhibition, Drift Station will become a bookstore/reading library where the public can look through, peruse, and purchase artworks.
You may send us as many copies of as many works as you want. Any and all publications will be included – our goal is to fill the gallery! Works will be displayed on tables and shelves and must be able to be handled by the public for the duration of the exhibition without gloves. Because of this work has the potential to get damaged, please do not send us elaborate or delicate books that are not meant for handling by the general public.
All work must either be free or for sale for under $30. In cases where work is sold, Drift Station will take a 40% commission and deposit the remainder into the artist's PayPal account. Unsold works may either be left at Drift Station for later purchase/given away or will be sent back to the artists (SASE required).
WORKS MUST ARRIVE BY: February 18th, 2012
+ Submission form filled out, printed, and signed
+ Works to be included in the show
+ Self addressed, stamped envelope for return of works (optional)

Started by Angeles Cossio and Jeff Thompson in 2010, Drift Station acts as a non-traditional curatorial platform for innovative exhibitions, art, music, and performance based in Lincoln, Nebraska, USA.
Feminist comp-zine Pandora Press is looking for submissions for its third issue! The theme is TIME.
Here are some prompts/ideas for where you could go with this theme, though this list is far from exhaustive:
- Waves of feminism: do you identify with a wave in particular? What do you think the 4th wave will look like? Do you think that the notion of "waves of feminism" is a useful notion, or is it problematic? Do you agree with the direction of modern feminism, and its fights/causes?
- A woman's age/passage of life: What pressures are women under in particular with regards to age – what they should look like, what they should be doing (e.g. childbearing before the age of 35), what direction their life is supposed to take? Are these realistic, or too constricting?
- The history of women/feminism: Are there any historical women or female activists that inspire you? Any groundbreaking pre-feminist texts? What was the world like for women before our era?
- The future for women/feminism: what would a feminist society look like? How far do we have left before equality is reached? Is it on the horizon? Is it possible?
- Beauty standards: are women under pressure to avoid "looking their age"? What qualities are associated with each decade of a woman's life? Are these fair? What pressures are women under as each decade passes by?
- Young vs old feminists/women: are we being pitted against each other? Or is the generational divide too wide to relate to each other? Can we learn from each other? Are there experiences that exclusively lie with one group, or are we not that different from each other?
- Issues that affect young people: sex education, virginity/chastity/purity myths, employment, higher education, etc.
- Issues that affect older people: how is one's age construed in our society? Are there prejudices against older people? Are old people ever favoured over young people (e.g. older men = authoritative figures), or are young people overwhelmingly favoured in society?
- Our current "time"/culture: What sucks about society's treatment of women? What will our future look like – utopia? Dystopia? Will humanity be better off, or worse off, once our generation has passed away? What will be our legacy?
The deadline for the winter issue is 20 FEBRUARY 2012.
Contributors must be from Wales! Just email your ideas, questions, or submissions to firstname.lastname@example.com. More info can be found at http://swanseafeministnetwork.wordpress.com/pandorapress.
I am compiling a zine about Super Powers stories.
The zine is a fun "what if" imaginary exploration of how our life would change with super power, the good, the bad, the ugly, the sexy, the naughty, the nice, the criminal, the crime fighter, the lame, the complicated...
Will this be a mixed blessing or a complete curse? Would it bring out your best or the worst parts of your personality? Why did you choose this power and what you think is says about yourself?
So How do you get your super power?
Let say you got your power from a magical gumball machine in the lobby of the movie theater. The stories can start there.
1) You can only have one super power (one gumball). In other words, you cannot both fly and have regenerative healing or both time travel and stop time.
2) This can be any format. Comic, collage, poetry, LBGT, non-fiction (interview) survey, photos, cooking, historical, adult content (dress up??)...anything you want.
3) Along with text, it would be helpful if you can please provide pictures for your submissions.(But it is not required)
All submitters will receive a copy of the zine and credit for their work.
Email me with submission/questions firstname.lastname@example.com (subject Super Power ZIne)
Here is a list of some Super Powers: Feel free to make up your own
Super Strength
Mind reading
Control the Weather
Time Travel
Regenerative Healing
Shape shift
Walk through wall (ghost like?)
Shoot Lighting from Hands
See the future (dreams, drawings)
Talk to Animals
Call for vegan doughnut recipes for my upcoming zine Hungry Monkey #2 which benefits rescued laboratory monkeys
This new issue will be "The Doughnut Issue." All money made goes directly to 8 rescued laboratory monkeys who live in Oklahoma now.
General Guidelines:
-Any type of doughnut recipe is fine by me, just let me know what flavor/type you plan on doing so others won't do the same thing.
-If ya want, include 2 sentences about yourself (your blog, project, etc).
-Emial your final recipe to email@example.com
-Deadline is: April 30th 2012
I NEED YOUR ATHEIST COMING OUT STORIES! In approximately 500 words, please talk about coming out as an atheist and also try include encouragement for others to come out. Let people know WHY coming out as a non-believer is important and how it has benefited your life. I'd like to try to keep these essays more on the positive side for the sake of encouraging others. Even if you had a hard coming out with unsupportive family or friends, tell us how that experience solidifies who you are today. Why the positive outweighed the negative. Even if you are only partially out amongst friends/family but are fighting for the secular movement in other ways, please think about sharing your story. (That is where I am currently.)
I feel we are at a time in history where it is more important than ever to speak up as non-believers. Religious belief is a large part of what is holding back our women's and queer rights and it is the root of much violence in our world. From female castration to honor killings to flying planes into buildings.
I am not sure if this will work in enough time for Reason Rally but I am going to try. If I have at least 6 entries I will go through and make something small for the rally, and then expand on it later.
This zine needs to be put together before March 24th (Reason Rally). Thus the stories will need to be emailed to me by March 17th.
Please email your essay to email@example.com
If you don't want to publish your real name, feel free to use a pseudonym or ask me to put you down as anon.
For those finding this through the atheist channels who may not know what a zine is… http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zine
You will not be compensated if your piece is selected, except for a copy of the completed zine. I will sell copies (not for profit) in my zine distro: http://www.clickclackdistro.com I may also break my zine rules, and make a PDF for free distribution on the internet.
Most copies will be given away to folks I meet at Reason Rally if this happens in time.
Think Free,
My next issue will have the theme of "heros". It can be fictional or personal. Please e-mail me at email@example.com for more info!

Everything is a Remix, the final episode
This is both a good and a bad news: The fourth episode of the series of videos "Everything is a Remix" by Kirby Ferguson is now online. The bad news is that it's the last of the series.
If you've never heard about these 20 minutes videos – actually you should if you follow me as I talked about the previous episode last year on my tumblr – I suggest that you start by watching the first episode, and then the following.
This last episode comes in a perfect timing, as the discussions around ACTA, SOPA and PIPA are hot topics at the moment. This is a great content, and if you like it, you can donate some money to help and support the costs.

Celebrated culinary enthusiast Wendy Hutton embraces the rich diversity of Southeast Asian cuisine in Green Mangoes and Lemon Grass: Southeast Asia's Best Recipes from Bangkok to Bali. A tour-de-force of good eating, the book offers a whirlwind journey of Singapore and its cosmopolitan delights, Thailand's sinfully spicy dishes, and the refreshing, healthful fare of Vietnam. From roadside to restaurant, Hutton presents a lip-smacking culinary tour of Southeast Asia's most scrumptious food. Featuring a bounty of superb recipes, this lavish cookbook will inspire an Asian festival of food in your very own kitchen.
Capitalizing on the arrowing availability in supermarkets of lemon grass, greens, and other fresh Asian produce, Green Mangoes and Lemon Grass puts these readily available ingredients into trouble-free recipes. Traits such as these make this volume a timely addition to the cook's library.
Marrying meat, fish, vegetables, and poultry to Asian flavors, Hutton produces tantalizing delights such as: Barbcued Pork, Cashew and Herb Salad, Green Mango and Smoked Fish Salad, Laotian Chicken with Onions and Tomatoes, Chicken Soup with Lime, Chilies and Basil, Spicy Beef Soup, Spicy Nonya Rice Vermicelli Salad, and Water Chestnut or Sweet Corn Creams. Complemented by dozens of full-color photography by Masano Kawana, this handsome cookbook is as stunning a visual journey as it is a culinary one.

Sept. 27, 2013
By: Alex Cate
Zach Fulton wouldn't say playing offensive line is a family thing but it's getting hard to not think that way.
As the awards and accolades start to stack up, it's becoming more evident that the Fulton brothers, Zach and older brother Xavier, may have found their niche.
"He was a defensive end in high school and I remember I was with his friends one day and his friend was an offensive lineman and his friend told me if you become an offensive lineman you can eat whatever you want," said Zach. "I guess that kind of influenced me in my future decision on what play."
So while the younger Fulton was protecting quarterbacks and pancaking defenders from day one, Xavier was on the other side of the ball, disrupting plays and tackling the ball carrier.
"He started [playing football] when he was about 10, I didn't start playing football until I was in eighth grade," Zach said. "I don't think he started off playing the line. I started off playing the line because I was already big. I could barely play because of the weight limit."
It wasn't until 2007, his redshirt junior season at the University of Illinois, that Xavier found a permanent home playing the offensive line. While recovering from an anterior cruciate ligament tear, he was approached about making a move from the defensive side of the football to offensive. Success followed.
There Xavier won second-team All- Big Ten honors and earned a fifth round draft pick by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the 155th pick overall.
After reinjuring his ACL, Xavier bounced around several NFL teams before finding himself with the Saskatchewan Roughriders of the Canadian Football League where he's working his way back to the NFL.
Playing professional football isn't easy. Zach is reminded constantly by his older brother.
"It's something you've got to take serious and it's something you've got to put a lot of effort into and work into and it's not easy," Zach said he's been told.
Zach, a senior Volunteer offensive lineman is starting to rack up honors like his older brother. He's already been written on to several watch lists and was named a preseason second-team All-SEC player by SEC coaches.
CBS Sports ranks him as the 16th best offensive guard entering the 2014 draft and NFLdraftblitz.com pegs him as a 3rd round talent.
Off the field however, Zach says they're like any regular brothers.
Rarely home together, when they are he said they like to goof off and play video games. Being at home is time to relax and enjoy being with the family.
"Sometimes, he gives me little small details but not much. We don't talk football a whole lot when we're at home," Zach said.
Their main method of communication while apart is the occasional words of encouragement in a call or text message.
The CFL season runs almost alongside college football season, beginning in late June and ending in November, making it difficult to see one another play.
One day though they hope to play on the same day.

New Mexico Telegram » Morning Word, Uncategorized » Morning Word, 02-13-13
Morning Word, 02-13-13
President Barack Obama gave his State of the Union address last night.
You can read the New Mexico Telegram recap here, but a quick recap: The President followed up his inaugural address that was filled with catnip for liberal and progressive Democrats with a fairly rousing State of the Union. The biggest new proposal that he introduced was the call to raise the minimum wage — something that could have echoes in the New Mexico state legislature.
Obama said he wants the minimum wage to be $9.00 per hour — that is $1.75 per hour more than the current minimum wage and $1.50 more than the minimum wage in New Mexico.
Perhaps more importantly for the prospects of a minimum wage increase in New Mexico, it is $1.00 per hour more than what is being proposed in New Mexico.
Republicans who oppose any additional gun control legislation have argued that New Mexico should wait until the federal government acts before New Mexico decides what to do. A similar argument may come from opponents of the minimum wage increase.
On to the Word:
- The February 13 edition of the Santa Fe New Mexican's legislative roundup is online.
- The lawmakers and governor's office differ on the revenue outlook.
The Department of Finance and Administration reported Monday there's no reason to change the most recent revenue forecast calling for the state to have about $283 million available for budget increases and to offset any tax cuts in the next fiscal year.
However, legislative staff has raised questions about the state's financial outlook and the Senate Finance Committee plans to make its budget decisions using estimates that revenue will be $24 million lower next year and $41 million lower in the current fiscal year.
- John Fleck again made the trip to the foreign country that is the Roundhouse to write about a water bill.
Can New Mexico's $100 million solution to drought problems on the Pecos River provide the model for the much larger problems on the lower Rio Grande?
And don't worry John, we all get lost. But Steve Terrell has a hint to get your bearings, at least on the 3rd floor.
- The Senate introduced a slate of water legislation according to the Santa Fe New Mexican — something that has been described as a "sleeper" issue in New Mexico.
- The Associated Press reports on the same same water legislation.
- A piece of legislation would bar private firms from owning schools that get public funds. The Santa Fe New Mexican reports:
The bill clarifies that the Public Education Department, as well as school districts and charter schools, cannot contract with private entities to run a public school or any of its programs.
Hammond charged that private educational institutions are finding ways to break through the system in a "Trojan horse" manner. "This bill says no more privatization Trojan horses in New Mexico," he said.
- The Santa Fe Reporter reports on a bill expanding what is a brothel in New Mexico to include websites.
- Even as legislators look to make what he did illegal, F. Chris Garcia still hopes to be allowed back on the University of New Mexico campus.
Garcia, who taught political science and held top administrative positions, made headlines in June 2011 when he was arrested and when a police search of his UNM office turned up numerous sex toys, pornographic videos and sex books. He now needs written approval and must be escorted when he is on university grounds.
- Six New Mexican mayors signed onto a letter asking Congress to pass an assault weapons ban.
- Legislation to create a health insurance exchange passed its first committee.
- A city councilor in Santa Fe is looking at labeling genetically modified organisms even though the state Senate killed a bill that would do the same thing statewide.
- Capitol Report New Mexico reports on a House Democrat who wants to get the third-grade retention bill passed.
- The trial in a Taos County housing embezzlement case has been postponed.
- A "tax reboot" bill passed committee but has a long, long way to go.
- The drivers license compromise bill was introduced on Tuesday, KOB reports:
Democratic Sen. John Arthur Smith of Deming cooked up the compromise, along with Sen. Stuart Ingle of Portales, leader of the Senate Republicans.
"It's a start, and the thing of it is we've got plenty of time." Ingle said. "We've got another month to go before we get out of here. We've got time to pass this bill and we need to do it. We need to get the passport situation taken care of, so I think this bill can do that."
- Rio Rancho city councilors will vote on an application for a loan to buy water rights.
- The House voted to oppose the listing of the lesser prairie chicken as threatened after a floor debate.
Ezzell, right, said jobs would be lost in southeastern New Mexico and the state's overall economy would be damaged if the prairie chicken received federal protection.
Invoking the Endangered Species Act would stop voluntary efforts by private landowners to coexist with the bird, Ezzell said.
The debate included a representative saying if someone was observing his mating rituals, he would be disturbed, debate over who was the chair of the House redhead-caucus, criticism of U.S. Rep. Steve Pearce and even a Representative clucking like a hen and crowing like a rooster. Sometimes the debate on the floor is weird.
- The Farmington Daily-Times reports on a bill by Sen. Steven Neville, R-Aztec, related to water tanks.
Senate Bill 93 — titled "City Water Storage Tank Contractors" — allows communities to hire a contractor to do the work over multiple years. This lowers maintenance costs for cities by spreading out payments over the course of the contract, much like making car payments.
- A House bill would require campaign finance reporting in larger school district elections, New Mexico Capitol Report says.
- A water policy committee looked forward to a dry year.
Brian Daly, a district manager for city water provider EPCOR Water, noted that preliminary tests indicate EPCOR will be able to pump 10.4 million gallons of water per day. That's down from 11.3 million gallons last year, and Daly said the number could drop more when farming and irrigation pick back up.
- The drought in the Ruidoso area is still going on.
Combined, 2011 and 2012 were the driest and warmest two-year period in state history, noted Wayne Sleep, a snow survey hydrologic technician with the NRCS in New Mexico.
"The last two years were actually warmer and drier that the first couple of years of the 1950s drought," Sleep said. "The thing in the 50s that really made that notable was the length of time that it lasted. It went on for over four years. The timing now is going to be what drives this one in relation to the 50s."
- A company that supplies power to 12 New Mexico cooperatives has filed a federal complaint against the Public Regulation Commission for turning down a rate increase.
- Bernalillo County commissioners approved $3.7 million in tax breaks for a developer.
- Kevin Wilson at the Clovis News Journal writes about the death of filibuster reform, "The lesson that should be learned is that gentleman's agreements only work when everybody involved agrees to be a gentleman."
- The Alamogordo city commission approved a tax rebate to help build a new grocery store.
- Oops.
Acting Department of Transportation Secretary Tom Church said his department's funds are limited in the number of new roads it can build or fix. He apologized to the delegation for the errors made in the $20 million reconstruction of Canal Street that was completed in 2011.
"We are embarrassed the way we did things," Church said. "We can't afford to fix everything, but are responsible financially for some of it."
At issue are curbs that were not built according to Americans with Disabilities Act standards. Wheelchair-bounds residents cannot cross the road at the intersections.
- Las Vegas is going to look at revamping its alcohol ordinances to attract a minor league baseball team:
The city is moving forward with plans to allow beer to be served at Rodriguez Park complex during professional baseball games, carrying through with one of the prerequisites for getting the Pecos League of Professional Baseball Clubs to field a team in Las Vegas.

New on DVD: 'Woman in Black,' 'Red Tails,' more
The Woman in Black
2012, CBS Films, PG-13, $31; Blu-ray, $36
In his first post-Harry Potter film, Daniel Radcliffe stars as a grieving lawyer whose wife died in childbirth in this Edwardian horror film. He is sent to a small town to handle the estate of a recently deceased woman. He soon finds that the unwelcoming townsfolk are harboring a dark secret — the place is haunted by the ghost of a vengeful spirit and children are inexplicably committing suicide.
USA TODAY's Claudia Puig says: * * * out of four. "The remote setting in boggy northern England is ideal for the spine-tingling tale, and the film is well-paced for maximum thrills and chills."
Red Tails

For the past eight years, since the launch of the first 2-megapixel model in the spring of 2000, Canon's Digital IXUS range has pretty much defined the genre for stylish digital compact cameras, with class-leading performance and cutting-edge design. However once in a while even the most prestigious brands can stumble, and when it comes to the design of the new Digital IXUS 970 IS (sold as the PowerShot SD890 IS in the USA) Canon has done just that.
Don't get me wrong; it's a great-looking camera with a tempting specification. It has a 10.0-megapixel 1/2.3-inch CCD sensor, a 5x zoom f/3.2 - f/5.7 lens equivalent to 37-185mm, a 2.5-inch 230k LCD monitor, optical viewfinder and a high-quality all-metal body. Advanced features include enhanced optical image stabilisation, DIGIC III image processor, motion detection and face detection AF. It follows such outstanding cameras as the 8.0-megapixel 4x zoom IXUS 950 IS, and the titanium-bodied 12.1-megapixel IXUS 960 IS that I reviewed a couple of weeks ago.
The 970 IS is brand new, so at the moment it is horribly expensive, selling for between £250 and £300. That's a lot of money for a 10MP camera, even one with a 5x zoom lens. Comparable models include the 10MP 4x zoom Nikon Coolpix S600 (£220), the 10MP 7x zoom Olympus mju 1020 (£190), but the closest rival is probably the new Panasonic Lumix FX500, which is also just as expensive at £250-£300. These are all premium products, but even amongst such distinguished company the 970 IS is still pretty pricy. No doubt that price will fall over the next few months, but I doubt that it will ever be cheap. The IXUS 950 IS still costs around £180 eight months after its launch.

My 5yo seems to have ADHD, no diagnosis. Rather than going for meds, I'm thinking I could teach him to focus with activities like puzzles. Does anyone do this?
I've tried this. It did not work very well for us, but every child is different with different needs. My daughter was diagnosed with ADHD by our pedi last year when she was just shy of 6.
Couldn't hurt to try though, I suppose, if your kid has time to wait (i.e. isn't miserable or about to start school or something that would demand the ability to pay attention).
Doesn't work for my kid. He's almost 8 now and knows what he is supposed to do, just unable to control himself enough to actually do it.
Cassie, mom to Alex(7), Aidan(5), Andrew(4)
I think most kids with adhd can focus on subjects of interest very well. Some get hyper focused. It is much hard to force an interest though when it is not there. Ds's OT encouraged an air cushion to sit on to help ds concentrate at school (kind of helped). We worked with a psychologist on behavior modification. Ds is really good at school with reward systems, which we do not really do at home. Exercise actually helped ds a lot and so has learning to play the cello.
I don't see attention as a learned skill, as much as a issue of neurological maturing. Well, maybe maturing isn't the right word - it implies that a person with ADHD is immature, and that's not at all what I meant. Style? Ability? Innate wiring? There are coping skills/strategies that can be learned to work with/around ADHD. Most adults with ADHD have taught themselves ways to function. Some seem to have grown out of the most obvious symptoms. An occupational therapist can suggest things worth trying. But I don't think you can "teach" focus or attention. At least not directly.
Rhu - mother,grandmother,daughter,sister,friend-foster,adoptive,and biological;not necessarily in that order. Some of it's magic, some of it's tragic, but I had a good life all the way (Jimmy Buffet)
Thanks everyone for the perspective.
I have to say, my first thought was.... can you teach a rock to breath? No, because it's just not something a rock does naturally. I have ADHD. My Mom tried to beat my inattentiveness out of me. Didn't work. I've tried all kinds of tricks. Only thing that helped me are meds.
I wanted to pipe up as my perspective on my newly discovered ADD. It's not that I don't have attention skills, it's that I have TOO much attention; I have to pay attention to everything. Focus can be very difficult, unless it's something that I love (for me, sewing, for a child it might be puzzles) and then I can tune everything out.
SAHM to DS BuggaBoo 12/07, and DD Doozer 03/10. Sharing life with The Hubby since 01/05.
DS has ADHD and is better able to focus after he has a lot of movement breaks, they do this for him at school, too. At home he'll do a little homework, jump on the couch for a bit, then go back to the homework. The exercise helps him focus. I don't think "practicing" focusing would help. Though we do other things to keep him on track, like visual cues for instructions.
I have a close friend who used biofeedback to help her son train his attention to focus only where he wanted it to go. She did this right before his entry into kindergarten and claims it was very useful. At the time, he was very active, impulsive and scattered and would have fit a diagnosis of ADHD.
Now he is still an active 4rth grader who is gifted and is just now having difficulty again this time with exerting the patience and focus required to sit and read for comprehension. She swears that the homeopathic combo remedy brightspark is helping him manage his attention and his teachers think it is helping too. Personally, I would use a homeopath and get the right remedy prescription, and suggested that to her myself! But, she uses brightspark and is really satisfied with it. And she's a psychologist....
I thought i'd offer this up if you find it useful
here in germany we have an actual therapy to improve attention, it's called "attentioner". it's not so much about focus, but to keep your focus when other things are happening. it's with a little stuffed dragon who disturbs the kids while they do something.
we don't do it, but our ot does focus exercises with dd where she is supposed to do worksheets and there are distractions in the room. she gets points for keeping her focus on the worksheet.
so i guess there are therapies working on the attention. don't know if they actually help though,

"We live in boxes, we travel in boxes, when we finish work in our boxes we go home and relax in front of one. Bearing this in mind it doesn't seem that surprising that some of us start to make them."
So says Sam Gorman, British artists and one of eighty sculptors, painters, furniture and boxmakers from over fifteen countries whose works are on display in the new interactive exhibition that takes the lid off the box.
Some have been created with function in mind - for keeping jewellery in, or writing materials, whilst others contain nothing more than space for the imagination to play in.
American Po Shun Leong's Landscape Box is more sculpture than box, carved and multi-layered with its moving parts, a light and a secret compartment while Emi Ozawa's work is motivated by how the box opens.
On her Pendulum Box you have to swing the pendulum before the lid slides away to reveal the hidden space. Children will be encouraged to look, touch and try to work out what the boxes are, how they open, what is inside them, what sounds and even smells they make when opened, and what they are made of.
There will be a series of children's workshops on making pop-up boxes, butterfly boxes, origami boxes, boxes made of scrunched up paper and even animals created from boxes.
Celebrating Boxes

What passed, barely, for a soccer field has to be the most convincing argument ever as to why teams need control of their own facilities. At least if the surface is a mess it's the team's fault and no one else's.
I mean, c'mon. Barren, grassless swathes near one touchline casting an ugly brown blotch? Sand in clumps and mounds running down the center of field deadening passes and forcing slips and stumbles? Sometimes the play in MLS can be hard on the eyes, but this time the field itself, not the action taking place, rated as unwatchable and nearly unplayable.
Faint vestiges of football lines and markings stained the field with a bizarre array of barely recognizable shapes and colors, like tattoos inked decades ago. Little puffs of dirt kicked up when foot met ball, and passes played along the ground - of which there was at least as much as what passed for grass - wobbled or bounced more than they rolled. That the teams managed to connect passes and build attacks through combination play is a testament to their persistence as much as skill on the ball.
I can't imagine the University of Houston football team can be happy with such an abysmal surface, either. When the Dynamo moved from San Jose at the end of 2005, only some strong lobbying by team president Oliver Luck and the late Doug Hamilton, who was facilitating the move on behalf of Anschutz Entertainment Group, prevented the university from installing artificial turf. While that issue hasn't been revisited, it is always a possibility.
In the first leg, Qwest Field's surface, scrubbed clean of football lines and markings, looked and played much better than did Robertson's dead zone. The difficulty of keeping a grass field alive and healthy when it is chewed up regularly by football games increases as the days shorten and temperatures decrease, especially in Houston, whose blistering hot months present a very different challenge for groundskeepers.
Any stadium deal needs political and community backing, solid financing, sound planning (including location), and years of hard work to be consummated. Luck's attempts have been derailed by political snafus and the opposition of outgoing Mayor Bill White, who blocked use of any public monies.
The All-Star Game is headed to Houston and Reliant Stadium next year. AEG's ownership has been joined by a high-profile consortium led by champion boxer Oscar de la Hoya. Political changes are in the offing with a mayoral runoff election between city controller Annise Parker and former city attorney Gene Locke to be held after neither received 50 percent of the vote in elections held last week.
A nice facility with a pristine field is more than a pretty face to be admired. It gives a team stature and an identity, as well as a firm financial foundation. As at least a few teams have demonstrated, it's no guarantee of success either at the gate or in the standings. Playing as a tenant in a college football stadium, the Dynamo has attained both.
But, so far, leaving an untenable situation in San Jose has merely been traded for another unfortunate alternative. In 2010, Houston desperately needs to get on the right path. The organization and its fans - 27,465 showed up Sunday and generated a colorful, noisy atmosphere -- have proved, again, they deserve a home of their own.

In the 1960s, American comedy experienced a change, and that change was called Lenny Bruce. During a time when mainstream comedy was squeaky clean, Bruce got nasty. His language was so controversial that in 1961, he was arrested under charges of obscenity for using the word "cocksucker" during a stand-up performance in San Francisco. He was acquitted, but his case became a lesson about what one could say in public. It would not be his first arrest.
In 1964, he was publicly arrested under charges of obscenities used during a performance—this time in New York City—and convicted despite testimony from most of the well-known names in Greenwich Village at the time, including Woody Allen, Bob Dylan, and Allen Ginsberg. He was bailed out of his sentence of four months in a workhouse, and eventually his case received a full pardon after his death in 1966.

Thunderbird Avalanche
It's not often you get good first-hand accounts of serious avalanches. Often the victims are too shaken or chastened by the experience to write about it—or, tragically, they're unable to write at all. But in the last week we've enjoyed superb stories about the serious avalanche accident on Grand Mesa on March 17—from both the victim and his rescuer.
Seth Anderson and Ann Driggers climbed the northwest side of Grand Mesa, early that morning in mid-March. For several years, Anderson, a cofounder of the Grand Junction–based Loki apparel company, had dreamed of skiing the Thunderbird and Serpent formations on the steep walls overlooking Palisade. These bizarre slide paths play into Ute legends of deities living on Grand Mesa; Anderson had written before about these stories and his fascination with the formations. This winter's heavy snows had covered the slides, making Anderson's dream seem feasible. … Continue Reading

NewsRadio 920 WHJJ and the Associated Press
PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) — A Providence man has been charged with raping a woman who was left naked on city street last month.
The Providence Journal reports 34-year-old Jose Guevara has been charged with assault, sexual assault and larceny in the April 29th incident.
The woman told police she was attacked and raped after two men in a car stopped to ask her about a friend.
Police say the men let her out of the car on Cranston Street, but refused to return her clothes or her cell phone.
Officers say Guevara's car was stopped a short time later and he was identified by the woman as one of her attackers.
He has denied being involved, and told police he was just driving around after an argument with his girlfriend.

Add me to the list of job seekers. I am selectively looking for the moment. I have a feeling my company will shut down soon enough but until I am actually laid off I am not going to apply for any old job out there. I've only been on one interview which went well but 3 weeks later they still haven't made a decision. It is a government agency and they are notoriously slow.
Madonna getting upset with her daughter for dressing too slutty is like Mr. T getting upset with his son for pitying too many fools.
