Man at His Best
Surround Yourself In Yayoi Kusama's Famed Polka Dots At National Gallery Singapore This June
Finding peace in a kaleidoscope of dots.
BY Derrick Tan | Mar 10, 2017 | Arts
A dot may be insignificant on its own, but celebrated artist Yayoi Kusama is able to create a world of infinite possibilities by using it as a recurring motif. After countless of successful exhibitions across the globe, a Kusama retrospective has finally arrived on our shores. It's time to marvel at a magnificent, unedible pumpkin in the flesh.
Presented by National Gallery Singapore, this retrospective will be the first major museum exhibition of Kusama's work in Southeast Asia. It will delve into her visions of inner reality, hallucinations, fears and obsessions.
As an avant-garde artist, Kusama uses art as a form of poetry, philosophy and prophecy alike. Themes such as infinity, repetition and the desire to become one with the world were explored and conveyed through her creations. Her Infinity Net canvases, pumpkin sculptures and the sublime immersive nature of infinity mirrored rooms became synonymous with her name.
Will we get the chance to experience the much-lauded Infinity Mirror rooms? Whatever you do, try not to be overenthusiastic (taking a selfie) and destroy any artwork in the process.
The Yayoi Kusama Retrospective will be held at National Gallery Singapore from June 9 to September 3.

The voice of youth may be a tired phrase, but it's an important concept. A generation of doormats has no voice. If such a generation now exists, it's a serious problem.
I refuse to believe that younger people have no opinions. That's certainly not my experience. Even the "sadly educated" have at least a few ideas of their own.
The current under 20s generation, as seen in media and tedious loudmouthed social media, seems to be a video game addicted collection of aspiring corporate corpses? Is Big Bang Theory or some excruciating bit of "entertainment" all anyone can think of to do with youth? If so, it's a real insult.
How did that happen? Don't people take the under 20s seriously? If not, why not? This is the generation which will be fighting the next wars, getting lumbered with a tech economy in which old style careers and jobs will be impossible, and from the look of it, largely broke and struggling to make ends meet.
This is a true future disaster in progress, and the possible answers to those questions are hardly reassuring. "Reasons" for not taking the younger generation seriously may include:
- They're broke: Therefore they're not economically relevant, and have little if any real social clout. Try that on a spreadsheet. Talk about a no chance scenario.
- They can't influence an economy and a society they can't access: True of the chronically poor since the beginning of recorded history, and a great way to effectively discard an entire generation.
- They have no political muscle: Wrong, but expedient, this view of the younger generation is basically lazy. They will have some sort of political clout, but it'll be handicapped by the above points, which will also be their main areas of political interest.
- They're "dumb": This very cynical view means that younger people are stuck with the image of how things work. They're not criminals (yet, no thanks to this thinking) they're not corrupt, and they take things on trust, like most young people. Therefore they're idiots? Shaky logic, but look how little is done to inform them. The most communicative generation in history is being fed garbage.
- They're sick: This toxic wasteland of an environment makes people sick. Being sick is "wrong". Therefore the young, if sick, are bad people. Particularly if they miraculously can't afford treatment. So it's all their fault.
- They're obstructed by employment factors: Since some collection of morons decided people should work all the way to the grave, promotions and opportunities have been reduced for younger people. That's their fault, too.
- They're media-dependent: Another very wrong view. That's what they said about the 60s generation, and look what happened. That generation made its own culture, because the mainstream culture was too insane. The modern generation ARE at a disadvantage, stuck with crap in incredible amounts, but it IS crap. You can't live on crap forever.
If this collection of "reasons" is making you puke, imagine how living it feels. If there is a "voice of youth" muttering around under all this filth, it must be doing a lot of swearing.
What "voice of youth"?
So what would you call a "voice of youth"? Instagram? Selfies to the point of death? Facebook, with its paid collection of psycho trolls? Rap? Rock? Idiotic movies full of people shooting each other? Some youth culture you've got there, Grandma.
Instagram is a brief attention span, low value, visual thing. Facebook is a social medium for older people. Twitter is X characters of spleen or wit, depending on your perspective.
Rap and rock are both over 40 years old. "Youth" has nothing to do with it, particularly when rap and rock are both obsessing over irrelevances. Nobody gives a damn about some gangsta or hairstyle whining about everything. Whining is easy; it's getting somewhere that's difficult. That culture is dead and it goes nowhere anyway. It's also avoidable, and to their credit, most younger people can take it or leave it, and they do.
The fact is that there is no place for a voice of youth. This is a middle class morgue of values, imposed on youth. If the poor bastards are glued to their phones, it's because they have very few other places to go.
The pity of it is that this generation is quite articulate, when it gets a chance, which is almost never. Even allowing for the day care version of the arts we have now, they can be very interesting, if able to get a word in.
The voice of youth is getting drowned out by the senile babblings of a society from the past. Geriatric politics, corporate wanking, you name it, it has more coverage and more space than it deserves, at the expense of youth. That's a damn high cost.
The environment and the voice of youth, sort of
One area where the younger generation is getting somewhere, with some natural justification, is the environment. Kids usually react to any environment in which they grow up as "normal". This hellhole of a planet, however, as it now is, (it really wasn't) is getting plenty of attention. They're not treating it as normal, but something to be fixed, which is quite right.
That, of course, instantly conflicts with the established apathy and stupidity of these times. It's a very good sign that younger people are involved with the environment, and not just because of the environment. The conflict will also help to spell out other conflicts, like careers, money, jobs, and the rest of the dysfunctional, hopelessly incompetent mess this generation is entering. To fight this is to fight the war that needs fighting, against the dehumanization of humanity. The option is to win. Should work, too, given the ineptitude of this society, which can never defend against the new and fun.
Inventing a voice of youth
If you were to invent a new voice of youth, it would have to be well outside the shabby, boring, predictable, cardboard box which modern media provides. It would have to be crowd-social-accessible-acceptable, without the ancient garbage. It would also have to be sourced entirely from younger people, even if some older people would like to help. (If you're older, be helpful but peripheral; youth is sacred, not to be intruded upon.)
One thing this generation has proven is that it's quite happy to leave the garbage behind. Finding points of access seems to be a strong suit for a generation living in a barely functional museum, and it may well find the voice and the way out for the voiceless.

Its inhabitants were exclusively Chinese. The village consisted of two ranges of houses running parallel with the river and two roads. In January 1888, there were two pagodas of brick, a market, 75 houses, and a Chinese school. The number of inhabitants was 267 (65 men, 65 women and 137 children). Most of them were merchants and some had sea junks.

For FF there is also "HTML Validator". It adds validation to the source view and it's multi-platform. The Mozilla repo is slightly out-of-date at times, best to pick it up from the developer's site: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/html-validator http://users.skynet.be/mgueury/mozilla/ It doesn't do CSS validation, but that is easier to handle with the W3C validator. If the site under test uses CSS in separate files, just find the url's in the HTML source and feed them into the validator at http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/ (as I'm sure you know).

Phuket Golf Courses
Phuket Golf Packages
Phuket Hotels
Phuket Country Club was established in 1989 and has the honour of the being the first golf course built on the island of Phuket. Conveniently located midway between Phuket Town and Patong Beach it is easily accessible from all the main beach resorts.
The course provides a fun and friendly 18 holes set in a valley that meanders through hills and limestone cliffs traversing 3 distinct environment, with six holes in undulating hills, six holes on the level and six through landscape forest.
Phuket Country Club is regular host of national tournaments and will provide a challenging, but not intimidating round of golf for the high handicappers who often have the best rounds of their lives. Accurate shots are required although any wayward shots are not severely penalised as the rough is very light. Water comes into play more on the back nine starting at the 557 yard par 5 10th. This is one of the most unusual holes you will find anywhere. A dog-leg right that snakes around an enormous lake yet can be reached in one! To achieve it you must aim 90 degrees right from the tee and be able to carry 240 yards over the water.
The clubhouse has good facilities including locker rooms with sauna for ladies and men, Pro shop, driving range, putting green, tennis courts, and a golf academy. The poolside restaurant has panoramic views over the golf serving excellent Japanese, local Thai and western cuisine and is the perfect place to relax after your round.
The course remains a firm favourite amongst locals and regular visitors to Phuket. The relaxing atmosphere and hospitality of Phuket Country Club along with the beauty of the course, will guarantee you'll be back again and again.

Author: Kathleen Peacock (author website | blog)
Release Date: July 5 2012 by Simon & Schuster AUS
Age Group: Young Adult
Genre: Paranormal
My Rating:
Supernatural fan? No, not the TV show, the fuzzy and fanged kind. You're in for a treat—Deadly Hemlock, or simply 'Hemlock' as Americans will know it, may just be the best you read this year. Kathleen Peacock offers it all: The supernatural, a spine-chilling murder-mystery and the kind of romance that makes your heart skip a beat. Been there, done that? Yes, but Peacock does it well.
Mackenzie and Amy were best friends. Until Amy was brutally murdered.
Since then, Mac's life has been turned upside down. She is being haunted by Amy in her dreams, and an extremist group called the Trackers has come to Mac's hometown of Hemlock to hunt down Amy's killer: A white werewolf.
Lupine syndrome—also known as the werewolf virus—is on the rise across the country. Many of the infected try to hide their symptoms, but bloodlust is not easy to control.
Wanting desperately to put an end to her nightmares, Mac decides to investigate Amy's murder herself. She discovers secrets lurking in the shadows of Hemlock, secrets about Amy's boyfriend, Jason, her good pal Kyle, and especially her late best friend. Mac is thrown into a maelstrom of violence and betrayal that puts her life at risk.
Kathleen Peacock's thrilling novel is the first in the Hemlock trilogy, a spellbinding urban fantasy series filled with provocative questions about prejudice, trust, lies, and love.
The StoryIn an America shaken by the discovery that werewolves do, in fact, exist, there is a political war taking place. Those infected with Lupine Syndrome have no civil rights. At the first sign of infection, they are required to register, and are promptly shipped off to government-run Nazi-Germany-style concentration camps. Fear and suspicion run just beneath the surface, and when a police-backed neo-Nazi-turned-werewolf-hunter organisation, the Trackers, arrive in the town of Hemlock, things turn truly ugly.
It's the arrival of the Trackers that prove a catalyst for change. Mac has tried to move on since her best friend was murdered by a werewolf, but as the violent werewolf-hunters arrive in town to investigate a new death, Mac's world falls apart all over again. Innately distrustful of Trackers, and haunted by the ghost of her dead friend—though whether Amy is truly a spirit, or a mental projection is left delightfully ambiguous—Mac decides to takes matters into her own hands and find the killer. What she finds instead is a complicated web of lies, political power-games and secrets.
My ThoughtsDetermined to uncover the truth of her best friends' brutal death, and force the Trackers to leave town, our heroine, Mac, is a truly fascinating lead. Peacock achieves a faultless balance between physical limitation and keen intelligence. Mac certainly gets herself in too deep, but she's not your typical damsel in distress. Able to hotwire a car and jimmy a lock since she was a pre-teen, she's resilient and resourceful, stubborn and fiercely protective of those she loves. And she does love: It would be amiss of me to continue without touching on the bittersweet, slow-burn romance that develops between Mac and one of her closest friends: There's earnestness and realism to the relationship and it's a delight watching something grow from a very real and genuine friendship.
And it's not just the friendships and romance that are such a delight. There's a rich world of characters in Hemlock. From friends and family to acquaintances and colleagues, the extensive cast is never confusing, but adds layers of depth to Mac's world. But where Deadly Hemlock truly shines is its depth of world building and attention to the bigger picture. Using the small town of Hemlock as a paradigm, Peacock presents a country being overtaken by fear, paranoia and hatred. She examines bigotry, human nature and radicalism in a way one would expect to find in a dystopian fantasy, not a sleepy-town paranormal. A government bending to the will of extremist voices, the media spreading fear faster the Lupine virus itself, and knee-jerk political reactions all feel eerily familiar, and add to Deadly Hemlock's pervasive sense of unrest and unease. There's a bleakness and hopelessness to Mac's story at times, but it's unsurprising in a story dealing with grief and death, and the loss of young, promising life. What are surprising are the pop-culture references, from music to film, and, as Peacock herself shares, literature, spattering its pages and adding moments of delightful humour.
The wonderful characters, the frightening politics, all lead to the heart of Deadly Hemlock: the puzzle of Amy's murder. It's rare to find such a tense, tightly plotted mystery, yet Peacock kept me guessing with 'whos' and 'whys' never quite falling into place till the breathless, heartbreaking end.
The VerdictKathleen Peacock's debut is a remarkable creature indeed. With an extraordinary depth of world building, she brings something exciting and new to her genre. Filled with dangerous secrets and vicious lies, every inch of the town of Hemlock feels real and comes alive, reating a depth that elevates Deadly Hemlock beyond simple supernatural love-story to something richer, vaster and rendering it utterly engrossing. Paranormal fans, rejoice! Chilling, riveting, and beautifully imagined, Deadly Hemlock is an unmissable debut.
Books in This Series:
- Deadly Hemlock (Hemlock in US) (2012)
- As yet unamed sequel (Expected 2013)

Consumers beware! Ask A Business Lawyer in Johannesburg did you know that anybody who is interested in being a general contractor in Washington State and has the petty cash of $109.70 for a license and a bond fee of only $12,000.00, is able to work at this professional trade? A specialty contractor's bond is only $6,000.00. No knowledge or testing required. Rip-offs are welcome.
This means Joe Blow, without any experience–or at best, minimal knowledge, may be hired to build your house. Then Mr. Blow will turn around and hire incompetent sub-contractor's or specialty sub-contractors, breach the contract, file bankruptcy, be forgiven in court for the debts they owe at the homeowner's expense and cause numerous liens on their property.
Then these wannabe contractors are able to recycle their crime and start another business under another name, over and over again. Consumer Law Attorney Near Me guess what? It's all legal in Washington State and they know this. This careless practice and fraudulent crime against homeowners and taxpayers are not tolerable in such states as California and Florida. This is another reason that there is so much construction going on in the State of Washington. It's easy-pickings for contractor criminals.
Recession Causes Bankruptcy Boom
The property owner has the burden of proof. They are the victims. Fraud has a different meaning in Washington State. In bankruptcy court, fraud is very hard to prove. If proven against the contractor, the homeowner has a slight chance of seeking a judgment, but collecting that is another challenge. All these crooks have to explain is they went over their heads in expense. The fact is they underestimate the job, usually on purpose. In their trade, the terminology is called "low-balling." They take draws of money from what the property owner has paid, then fund other projects and don't pay their supplier's bills they have in the victim's name. This results with liens on the property owner.
The sub-contractor are protected under the responsibilities of the general contractor, whatever that is worth. Be acquainted with everybody who sets their foot on your property. Write down company names and vehicle license numbers. And if you file a lawsuit and hire an attorney, make double sure the lawyer is competent. Call your state Bar Association to check the status regarding disciplinary actions or complaints against the attorney you choose.
The National Association of Consumer Bankruptcy Attorneys - Things You Should Know
There are reliable, capable and honest people who work as contractors and lawyers, Legal Firms Near Me but the crooked and incompetent ones have put them few and far between, and that truly is a shame.
My chalet-style house has been completed now for three years, but it stood in limbo for seven months in a tangled web of failed inspections and citations. I use to pride myself in the decisions I made in business and investments, but now I am so skeptical of the system and how it works against victims, like myself. My experience was a devastating blow to my confidence and trust.
Perhaps readers will join my cause for justice. The rules and laws are too slack and unjust. Just remember wherever you live, in whatever state, please protect yourself and your investment. Be cautious, alert and informative about your decisions when hiring a general contractor or specialty contractor. And it also goes for the attorney you hire. Pass this information and advice to your family and friends, "consumers beware of unscrupulous contractors and attorneys."
Ask A Business Lawyer in Johannesburg ?
Divorce means the legal dissolution of marriage. Divorce is usually one of the most traumatic experiences in a person's life. Apart from being stressful and painful, a divorce proceeding may also prove to be an extremely costly affair. Very often, people going through a divorce do not have sufficient resources to hire an expensive lawyer. Many lawyers in the US specialize in divorce and annulment. Money plays a vital role in the selection of a good divorce lawyer. For many people, an affordable divorce lawyer is one who charges the least amount to represent them in their divorce case.
Many people are unable to pay for these legal services. Most states in the US have legal aid services that offer discounted legal services. They also offer free services to people who are incapable of hiring a lawyer to plead their case.
How to Change Lawyers Mid-Case?
When you see all these handsome Lawyers in TV series like LA Law, sitting in their fancy offices, driving these flashy cars, have you ever realized what they have been through in terms of time, years of education, money, certifications, etc...
Let me Describe to you the Lawyers course of training. Formal educational requirements for lawyers include a 4-year college degree, 3 years in law school, and the passing of a written bar examination.
Competition for admission to most law schools is intense. prospective lawyers should develop proficiency in writing and speaking, reading, researching, analyzing, and thinking logically--skills needed to succeed both in law school and in the profession.
Regardless of major, a multidisciplinary background is recommended. Courses in English, foreign languages, public speaking, government, philosophy, history, economics, mathematics, and computer science, among others, are useful. Students interested in a particular aspect of law may find related courses helpful. For example, prospective patent lawyers need a strong background in engineering or science, and future tax lawyers must have extensive knowledge of accounting.
The practice of law involves a great deal of responsibility. Individuals planning careers in law should like to work with people and be able to win the respect and confidence of their clients, associates, and the public. Perseverance, creativity, and reasoning ability also are essential to lawyers, who often analyze complex cases and handle new and unique legal problems.
Lawyers held about 695,000 jobs in 2002. About 3 out of 4 lawyers practiced privately, either in law firms or in solo practices. Most of the remaining lawyers held positions in government and with corporations and nonprofit organizations.

I'm normally skeptical of claims of political genius on behalf of opposition politicians who win elections amidst sharp economic downturns. That's just what tends to happen. But Virginia Governor Bob McDonnell seems to have not only snagged the booby trap SOTU response gig, he's even tried to think of a way to make it not suck:
When the national spotlight turns to Gov. Bob McDonnell tonight as he delivers the Republican response to President Barack Obama's State of the Union address, he'll be surrounded by 300 people in the chamber of the Virginia House of Delegates. McDonnell plans to stand in the well of the House accompanied by family, supporters, administration officials, activists and lawmakers, some of whom will stand on risers set up for the live speech.
That's a good idea!
At any rate, a conservative state-level politician in Virginia talking about national politics more-or-less has to engage in massive hypocrisy. The economic engine of Virginia is the DC suburbs, with their prosperity driven by the federal government leviathan that directly and indirectly employs so many Virginians. And yet you can't very well do a Republican SOTU response without sneering at the idea that big government could ever possible bring about prosperity or improve anyone's lives. Naturally, even more predictable than the hypocrisy is the fact that none of the TV pundits on after his speech will note it.

"The review by Chef du jour is accurate, and I do use my smaller VitaMix for those needs. However, I use this XL model daily because of its volumn, and time saving convenience."
"The Vita-mix XL is NOT a bigger version of the traditional 2-qt. Vita-mix. The XL uses a different type of motor and the blades spin at a significantly slower rate. Therefore, for some products, esp. ones that include nuts, it is not possible to achieve the same degree of homogenization or particle size disintegration. For many recipes this may not be an issue. The Vita-mix company has excellent customer service and their blenders have been essential kitchen tools for thousands of users. I just wish their product literature would have been more clear as to the limitations of the XL."

Kabul: An Afghan official says a string of Taliban attacks have killed 12 policemen in the increasingly volatile southern Helmand province the previous night.
Hismatullah Daulatzai, head of police for the greater Helmand zone, says the attacks were coordinated and targeted police checkpoints in Gereshk district on Sunday.
Daulatzai said Monday that seven policemen were also wounded in the attacks and seven others are missing, presumably abducted by the Taliban.
The 15-year insurgency has intensified across the south as the Taliban concentrate their war on Helmand, Kandahar and Uruzgan provinces.
The fight in the southern, opium poppy-producing region is led by Mullah Yaqoub, the son of Taliban founder Mullah Mohammad Omar. Mullah Omar's successor was killed in a drone strike this month and Mullah Haibatullah Akhundzada was named to replace him.

As if treading the path of collective-information sharing pioneered by Wikipedia - Facebook have announced two new features to its social networking services, Community pages and connected profiles service, according to its official blog post on Monday.
The new features aim to linking profiles to pages of interest and affiliation, with profiles now serving as a map of users interests. The service according to the blog report will initially run by displaying information gathered from Wikipedia, with users subsequently contributing to the service information.
The Community pages feature will serve as a shared knowledge base - page dedicated to topics or experiences that are owned collectively by the community connected to it. Facebook users will be able to learn more about a given topic of interest or experience, as in the instance of cooking or learning a new language. They can also connect to community pages of their school or location based on the interests they entered in their profiles.
How Facebook intends to scale through the massive information generated by users to arrive at an individually suitable and useful contents remain an illusive task. However, given the possibility of tremendous world information locked-up in Facebook, such a drive into accessing and harnessing them becomes impeccable.

Canada is using art to build bridges with Syrian refugees, while the rest of the world builds walls… – http://wp.me/p2G6tR-3zIT
We all need some personal growth reminders
I'll thank Vimeo for this suggestion:
Personal Growth from Samuel Jacques on Vimeo.
How much poison will be enough?
Now, I don't mean this kind of poison…
I think it's what Nelson Mandela said:
"Resentment is like drinking poison and then hoping it will kill your enemies."
I'm seriously giving this quote a lot of thought. Trying to find solace within myself.
200 words of honesty
I have elluded talking about myself here, in this humble little blog. I've hidden behind reblogged posts and musical choices. Even in the fact that I put myself a limit of 180 words to write something approaching honesty, that says a lot about where I'm coming from.
Highlights from the past year: the end of my marriage; A Season of Faith's Perfection we could say. I can't and won't write any further about it, not right now at least.
Tattoos. Submissiveness. Deceit. Meltdowns. Romance. Optimism. Peace. Fear. Sex. Self. Misunderstandings. Solitude. Love.Truth.
And I wonder
When I sing along with you
If everything could ever feel this real forever
If anything could ever be this good again
It could all seem like a blur, I feel as though I've lived many lives throughout a 12-month period. Sometimes it's like binging on a specific movie or tv show, or like going through a playlist or song over and over again. Learned to be innocent, at times. Self-aware, cynical too.
But here I am, trying to have a Jerry Maguire moment of my own. Not sure If I'm getting across. Just wanted to be naked for a moment. If only for a moment.
Cause I gotta have faith, I gotta have faith
But you presume to know everything about me because you saw a painting of mine…
Sean: So if I asked you about art, you'd probably give me the skinny on every art book ever written. Michelangelo, you know a lot about him. Life's work, political aspirations, him and the pope, sexual orientations, the whole works, right? But I'll bet you can't tell me what it smells like in the Sistine Chapel. You've never actually stood there and looked up at that beautiful ceiling; seen that. If I ask you about women, you'd probably give me a syllabus about your personal favorites. You may have even been laid a few times. But you can't tell me what it feels like to wake up next to a woman and feel truly happy. You're a tough kid. And I'd ask you about war, you'd probably throw Shakespeare at me, right, "once more unto the breach dear friends." But you've never been near one. You've never held your best friend's head in your lap, watch him gasp his last breath looking to you for help. I'd ask you about love, you'd probably quote me a sonnet. But you've never looked at a woman and been totally vulnerable. Known someone that could level you with her eyes, feeling like God put an angel on earth just for you. Who could rescue you from the depths of hell. And you wouldn't know what it's like to be her angel, to have that love for her, be there forever, through anything, through cancer. And you wouldn't know about sleeping sitting up in the hospital room for two months, holding her hand, because the doctors could see in your eyes, that the terms "visiting hours" don't apply to you. You don't know about real loss, 'cause it only occurs when you've loved something more than you love yourself. And I doubt you've ever dared to love anybody that much. And look at you… I don't see an intelligent, confident man… I see a cocky, scared shitless kid. But you're a genius Will. No one denies that. No one could possibly understand the depths of you. But you presume to know everything about me because you saw a painting of mine, and you ripped my fucking life apart. You're an orphan right?
[Will nods]
Sean: You think I know the first thing about how hard your life has been, how you feel, who you are, because I read Oliver Twist? Does that encapsulate you? Personally… I don't give a shit about all that, because you know what, I can't learn anything from you, I can't read in some fuckin' book. Unless you want to talk about you, who you are. Then I'm fascinated. I'm in. But you don't want to do that do you sport? You're terrified of what you might say. Your move, chief.
The miracle we witnessed
Jules: If my answers frighten you then you should cease asking scary questions.

Well I'm finally out of my depression mode and my cold has finally gone away. I'm highly motivated to get better. My BS have been all over the place due to my cold. Hopefully the infection is all gone and I can have a normal appetite and more energy. :)
15 replies
Thanks you guys. I'm happy to know that I can count on you guys for support. =)
Re: depression… Do you take fish oil? It's very good for depression … Fights artery inflammation … And helps reverse insulin resistance. I take 3000 iu two or three times a day. One of the five most important nutritional supplements that a person with diabetes can take. Jim
PS … SAMe is very good for depression, too.
What is SAMe? What would you say are the other 4 important supplements?
1. A good quality multiple. 2. Omega-3 (6-9 gr daily). 3. Vitamin D (5,000 iu daily) — 7,000 for Afro-Americans and those over 70. 4. Magnesium (to bowel tolerance).
5. CoQ10 (no more than 300 mg; mornings because it can be energizing).
S-adenosylmethionine — good for osteoarthritis and depression. Tons about it online.
I took SAM-e for a little while for mood swings. Happy pills!
A bit expensive, but they do work. And none of the side effects of antidepressant drugs. Jim H
Do you take fish oil? Jim H
How much? How often?
I don't understand depression at all. I suffered for years with dark depression it was low grade for years and it seems to be gone now. I never got treatment. I hope ypurs goes away. Colds have to be the most annoying illness. Glad to hear that yours is gone.
Thanks for the java, bro! Jim H
Sounds good, and glad your cold went away! Hope everything can improve from here!

If anyone is wondering what's happened to my "Imagine the Possibilities" challenge for January - well ….
My studio hasn't got much further than moving a few things around and loads of planning. (I could have guessed that much!!) Shannon always says all I ever do is move the mess around.
My gallery wall – I bought a letter "H" for it yesterday which I am going to treat to some sort of paint or mixed media and I'll add it to the wall. I also plan on putting my new ink portrait of Shannon on the wall and my next ink painting will be the same size, but of Reece this time, so I'll have two new 'family' portraits for the gallery (Or as I fondly call it "The Hall of Horrors").
Exercise - What did you say? Okay well, um… I actually started last week full of good intentions – I walked with my ipod & the sweet sounds of Adele in my ears. I enjoyed it. I actually did. Amazingly! Then I had art class, rushing with kids, then followed by 3 days of a migraine. Monday I started feeling fluey (is that a word?). Friday. Still done nothing more as I have razor blades in my throat, a head cold on the way, which is very slow, but it's obviously been on it's way all week – bet it'll properly arrive this weekend –ugh! I know- excuses! But I can't really do anything when I'm feeling yuck. So hopefully next week will improve. I have to!
So I guess in order to achieve my challenge, I have loads of work to do by Tuesday!! Eek – where did January go?
But you know, it's okay. After listening to a few of Jeanne Oliver's inspiring chats, I realise it is quite okay if you don't manage everything and if everything isn't perfect. It's okay.
I have been practising my photography too by the way- here's a couple of photos I took recently that I love! They are all straight out the camera and taken in our garden- no editing!!
The dandelions & windmill were taken on our pavement.

What are Property Rights
Property rights refer to the theoretical and legal ownership of specific property by individuals and the ability to determine how such property is used. In many countries, including the United States, individuals generally exercise private property rights – the rights of private persons to accumulate, hold, delegate, rent or sell their property. In economics, property rights form the basis for all market exchange, and the allocation of property rights in a society affects the efficiency of resource use.
BREAKING DOWN Property Rights
The term "property" is very expansive, although the legal protection for certain kinds of property varies between jurisdictions. In most developed countries, for example, the rights of property ownership can be extended by using patents and copyrights to protect scarce physical resources (such as houses, cars, books, shoes, land, tire irons or cellphones), non-human creatures (such as dogs, cats, horses or birds) and even some intellectual property (such as inventions, ideas or words).
Basics of Private Property Rights
Private property rights are one of the pillars of capitalist economies, as well as many legal systems and moral philosophies. Other types of property, such as communal or government property, are legally owned by groups but practically enforced by individuals in positions of political or cultural power.
Within a private property rights regime, individuals need the ability to exclude others from the uses and benefits of their property. All privately owned resources are rivalrous, meaning that only a single user may possess the title and legal claim to property. Private property owners also have the exclusive right to use and benefit from the services or product. Private property owners may exchange the resource on a voluntary basis.
Acquiring Rights to a Property
In a non-private property rights regime, the ownership and use of resources is allocated by force, normally by the government. Such governments determine who may interact with, can be excluded from or may benefit from the use of property. Resources in a non-private property rights regime are allocated by political ends, rather than economic ones.
Individuals in a private property rights regime acquire and transfer in mutually agreed-upon transfers, or else through homesteading. Types of mutual transfers include rents, sales, voluntary sharing, inheritances, gambling and charity. Homesteading is the unique case; an individual may acquire a previously unowned resource by mixing his labor with the resource over a period of time. Examples of homesteading acts include plowing a field, carving a stone and domesticating a wild animal.
Private Property Rights and Market Prices
Every market price in a voluntary, capitalist society originates through transfers of private property. Each transaction takes place between one property owner and another person interesting in acquiring the property. The value at which the property exchanges depends on how valuable it is to each party.
Suppose an investor purchases $1,000 in shares of stock in Apple Inc. In this case, Apple values owning the $1,000 more than the stock. The investor has the opposite preference, and values ownership of Apple stock more than $1,000.

The Farmer & The Markets' first incarnation was as an informal, un-named trio playing at the Fayetteville farmers market consisting of Jackson, Philip, and friend Landon in the Summer of 2010. In 2011, the band regrouped and established their current lineup, rebranding as Farmer & The Markets. After a successful 2011 season playing the Farmers Market and Lights of The Ozarks, Farmer & the Markets broadened their horizons in 2012 and continued to expand and innovate their sound, as well as bringing theirmusic to a wider audience by expanding to the Bentonville Farmers Market and playing numerous events throughout the year, including the 2nd annual Block St. Block Party (they'll be playing at the 3rd annual this May 2014), the Fayetteville Roots Festival, and Lights of the Ozarks. The band had a successful 2013, playing numerous public and private events around the Northwest Arkansas region. Yesterday, the band announced the release of their debut album out now and available anywhere the band is playing. It features all of the classic covers the band is known for (Devo's Whip It is among my favorites). In addition, the band continues to play numerous events around the area. Check out their Facebook page often to see where we'll be playing next!
Local Spotlight: Pedal Pops
Brooke and I tried our first pedal pops at the Fayetteville Farmer's Market on Saturday. Brooke's was a spicy-Thai-mocha and mine was pineapple-something. (Sorry, not a great memory here.) They are made from raw, natural ingredients so if you're looking for sticky sweet they aren't what you'll like. But if you like unique flavors, the real taste of real fruit, and chilling out on a hot day then they are definitely for you. This northwest Arkansas Popsicle vendor is the epitome of the Fayetteville vibe. The business actually has a cargo bike with a Popsicle cooler on it and though it's usually stationary at the farmer's market and other similar events, it can and has gone out on the trails. Sadly, the owner is moving to China soon so the business is up for sale and so far there aren't any takers. We'll be sad to see this one go and recommend that you grab yourself some Popsicle before it's too late! You can follow pedal pops on twitter, or like them on facebook to keep up with where they'll be and when.

An interesting new commentary in the Britannica vs. Wikipedia discussion following an article comparing the authenticity of the two in Nature was published yesterday in the NY Times, with a clever title: The Nitpicking of the Masses vs. the Authority of the Experts (free registration may be required, yadda yadda yadda...). The NYT article supports Wikipedia pretty strongly, but it wasn't the conclusion that struck me. Rather, it was this idea:
"The idea that perfection can be achieved solely through deliberate effort and centralized control has been given the lie in biology with the success of Darwin and in economics with the failure of Marx."
I'm not overly informed on either Darwin or Marx, so I'll refrain from analyzing the validity of this claim. But reading it, I'm strongly reminded of arguments being made for library cataloging in the Google age. The effort and control described here could also apply to the effort and control spent in expert cataloging. But I believe the key here is the word solely. Just because effort and control in and of themselves don't get us where we want to be, doesn't mean we should abandon them entirely. It just means we can supplement them with other means and potentially end up better off.
The idea of "perfection" in this quote interests me as well. Proponents of the status quo in library cataloging frequently speak as if library catalog records are perfect. As if they are the pinnacle of description, meeting every user need, exactly right if only the rules are followed. But of course that's not true. The good news is that library catalogs and cataloging rules are evolving, and that our systems are just starting to make use of other sources of information supplementing those human-generated-through-blood-sweat-and-tears catalog records. There are many experts on our materials out there - each of our users has something useful to tell us about our resources. I think it's time we listen to them.

I was at Barnes and Noble yesterday and bought Every Calorie Counts. I had it pre-ordered from Amazon and was surprised to see it at the book store. I was anticipating this book so much I paid the difference rather than waiting for Amazon to ship it. This is by far my favorite book from her and I really like them all. So many recipes were still low carb enough to be eaten while still losing weight so that was a nice surprise. But, as a person who has to watch both carbs and calories, I have been waiting along time for a book just like this one. I couldn't find a single recipe I wouldn't make.
Thank you for the wonderful book. I have a feeling I should get a back up copy for it will probably become "well used". And thank you for sharing all this with us. I have never heard of any other low carb cookbook author that is so highly recommended. The recipes truly are fantastic.
Thanks, Jamie! I'm so glad you like it!
So far as I know, Barnes and Noble is the only store that has The Every Calorie Counts Cookbook so far; if you really, really want it, you can run out and buy a copy!
Or you can pre-order at Amazon, and they'll send your copy as soon as they have it in.Posted by HoldTheToast at March 22, 2006 02:15 PM

According to a press release distributed by Apple today, the company posted record gains in both revenue and profit during the fourth quarter, mainly due to sales of iPhones and iPads, with 17.07 million iPhones and 11.12 iPads sold during the span of the quarter, from June to September.
"We are extremely pleased with our record September quarter revenue and earnings and with cash generation of $5.4 billion during the quarter," said Peter Oppenheimer, Apple's CFO.
Tim Cook, Apple's CEO added, "Customer response to iPhone 4S has been fantastic, [sic] we have strong momentum going into the holiday season, and we remain really enthusiastic about our product pipeline."
Quarterly revenue was up 71% from last year from $20.34 billion to $28.27 billion, and net profit was up 65% from $4.31 billion to 6.62 billion. 63% of sales are attributed to international sales. Mac computer sales were up 26%, while iPod sales went down 27% to 6.62 million units sold.
Analysis: The quarter ended before Jobs's passing, so we've yet to see what impact, if any, that will have on Apple's profits. Even considering the outcry about the iPhone 4S being simply a newer version of the same product, iPhones accounted for a majority of the sales during the last quarter. Apple's even expecting the holiday season to be a good one as well, given projections and the past quarter.
What strikes me as interesting is that over 50% of sales were international sales, not domestic. Perhaps the perceived condition that the majority of the American populace has on the economy has something to do with it; there's no way to know for sure. No information was given about what international markets the most sales came from, however.

I?ve met a sad person today. I was introduced to her and shook her hand and everything seemed normal until I looked her in the eyes. My smiled faded at the moment our faces recognized each other – mine, of endless optimism and her of endless sorrow. So different and still existing in the same world. And I wondered how it can be? We are sharing the same existence, yet we exist in it in a completely different ways. I know what Sadness is, I tasted it myself many times before, and for sure I will be flirting with it for many more times in my lifetime. But to make her my lover? that is something that I am completely unable to do.
When I sink down, when I feel the weight of the world pressing down on me; when I feel I cannot take another breath of it? I smile. I smile and its gone. I smile because I know that this world is so much more than what I can grasp. I laugh at my own thoughts and illusions of knowledge and understanding I created for myself. I laugh because the only real thing? the only certain truth is that I know nothing. I am so small.
There are so many things happening this very second, only on this planet alone. Just imagine: winds are blowing; oceans rising and moving, waves crushing on the shores; trees blossoming because it was a sunny day; clouds shifting slowly to some other countries, moving effortlessly from one continent to another; volcanoes warming up somewhere deep underground; birds migrating back from their winter shelters; little kittens finding their way out of the boy they thought was their world until just minutes ago; their mother watching them, remembering her first explorations; people dying and babies being born; children learning to walk and talk and play and dance and sing; millions of people fighting for a better world and millions more destroying it in an endless game most of us are not even aware of; friendships are being made this very second; a couple just broke up and at the same time someone fell madly in love for the very first time, right this very second.
Who am I in the midst of all this? Who am I to be sad? Who am I to be so sure that my thoughts and my own vision of the world are right? What if I?m wrong? What if everything does happen for a reason? What if everything makes sense in the end and all I need to do is to be patient and a little bit stronger? What if this hurt and sadness that I feel is nothing more than a big misunderstanding between me and the world? What if this feeling that world has forgotten about me is just a miss-fortunate mix-up and my big break is just behind the corner? What if Life is just trying to prepare me for the things to come? What if I need to go through this to become strong enough for whatever lays ahead? What if all He wants is for me to appreciate the good and happy days when they come?
For how could I ever feel happiness if I never felt sorrow? How could I measure the greatness of things if I did not taste the bitterness of it all?
I don?t know, that is the truth. And I don?t even pretend I understand, but these are the things that run through my head and I have to smile. My sorrow just dissolves in that smile… I let it drown in the great, beautiful vastness of the Universe I am just a tinny part of, but equally important and precious as anything and anyone else?
I was never depressed in my life and in a sense I wish I was because I could understand this sad girl in front of me better. I can feel that my smile and my good intentions are not reaching through. I would do anything to help this person right now, to make her understand that there is nothing to be sad about, that life doesn?t want anything from her except for her to be happy.
And at that moment something changes. She looks at me again for a split second I can see that she found something in my eyes that I did not know how to give. And she took it in – a precious gift from a stranger. She did not say anything but I felt that she offered that weight that was pressing her down… she offered it back to the world through me, somehow. Words fail me here, for they are merely symbols of what they represent but, my look and my good intentions chipped some of her sorrow away. It would never have happened if she wasn?t ready to drop it, but it would have never happened without someone who cares near her. I was a stranger and I will never see her again, but she left a mark on me that will last forever. I can only hope I left a positive mark on her as well and that she will remember that even strangers care and that friend can be found anywhere, if you?re looking.

Alex Atamanenko on Life and Politics
By Art Martens
I share retiring MP Alex Atamanenko's sense of disquiet at the state of governance in Canada. He believes an NDP government can save our nation from further undermining of our democracy at the highest level. At this time I'm not convinced any of the leaders have the will, integrity and wisdom required to bring about the change we need. I do respect Alex's views though and if his party wins, I hope I will be proved wrong.
During an hour long conversation last week, Alex spoke candidly about his life and experience as an Opposition MP. He has an understanding of the turmoil that can overtake a nation. "My father was Ukrainian and my mother Russian," he said at the outset. "My grandfather was executed by thugs released from prison by the Bolsheviks. My father was an officer in the Imperial Army, fighting against the Bolsheviks."
Alex was born in New Westminster. He obtained a BA in physical education, a teaching diploma and an MA in Russian. He has taught Russian, French and English in Canada and America. His community involvement has included the Boys Club of Vancouver and instructing at the Castlegar Karate Club.
Concerning his entrance into politics he said, "I had become disenchanted with the Liberal government. Over dinner in a Medicine Hat restaurant on a trip across the prairies in 2003, I told my wife Ann I was thinking of running as a federal NDP candidate. She told me I was crazy, but she'd support me." In the 2004 election he was narrowly defeated. "I just continued campaigning," he said. "In 2006 I ran again and won."
Initially, when Parliament was in session, Ann accompanied him on his pretty much weekly pilgrimages between the riding and Ottawa. His schedule permitted too little time together though. "It's the most intense job I've ever had," he said.
As NDP Agriculture Critic he met with farmers and farm associations. In his constituency he and his staff helped with a variety of individual issues such as obtaining a passport or dealing with a taxation matter. "As a final resort I'd write a letter to the minister and deliver it personally." They were always very receptive. In Ottawa he participated in creating and examining legislation.
When possible, he collaborated with members of other parties, dealing with issues of concern to his constituents. "If I was touring in another member's riding, I always sent advance notification. In many ways, our system of government is working. Our riding is receiving grants, even though it is represented by a party not in power."
In spite of positives he is troubled by "an increasingly partisan and bitter tone in Parliament." The NDP and Liberals suggested more than 20 amendments to strengthen the Food Safety Bill, he recalls. "The government rejected all of them."
Alex found the corporate forces contending for free trade to be extremely powerful. During 9 years as an MP he proposed a number of bills, some designed to protect the health of Canadians. Only one made it to committee stage. "In one instance I suggested an economic impact study to determine if farmers would lose money if further GMO products were introduced. A representative from the biotech industry told me they didn't want my bill to come before the House." Some fifty lobbyists descended on the MP's, pressuring them to vote against the bill. Initially the Liberals supported the bill but due to the intense lobbying, when it came to the committee level they sided with the government to defeat it.
In another agriculture related issue, he considers it a victory that by employing a seldom used maneuver, he was able to protect the Canadian Grain Commission from being dismantled for almost a year.
He believes proportional representation would eliminate many current abuses of power. Also, he would like schools to invite politicians to meet with students so they will become educated participants in our democracy.
In spite of concerns, in his final address to Parliament he said, "the privilege of serving as an MP has undoubtedly been the most enriching and rewarding experience of my life."
It is my belief that Alex Atamanenko, like early party leaders J.S. Woodsworth and Stanley Knowles, is a man of integrity, without guile. A Canadian statesman.
