Ruben Amaro Jr. is going to have a busy winter. For the first time in his tenure, the Phillies head into the offseason without a playoff berth in their rearview mirror. Instead of champagne and high-fives, the Phillies have head aches and question marks. Sure, they should get healthier in the rotation, the bullpen, and in the heart of the lineup. But, there remains gaping holes in the outfield, in the backend of the 'pen, and at the back of the rotation. Below are five moves that would put the Phillies closer to contending for a title once again:
1. Sign Josh Hamilton to a 5 year, $125 million contract.
I understand the risks involved with signing any lucrative free agent, let alone one with the history that Hamilton has. The #1 overall pick in the 1999 draft, Hamilton dealt with depression and drug addiction in the early "aughts" and would go on to miss the 2004-2006 seasons altogether. It was not until 2007, when he joined the Cincinnati Reds, that Hamilton found his niche in baseball. Since then, he has had problems with relapses (alcohol related, not drug) and recently quit chewing tobacco, which Nolan Ryan blamed for his second half slump in 2012.
Still, Hamilton is the best offensive force available this offseason. The 2010 AL MVP hit .285 with 43 HR and 128 RBI in 148 games last season. The risks are well known. But, if you can get him for 4 or 5 years, the reward might be worth it. The Phillies will either ante up for Hamilton, or they can spend nearly $100 million for less production with Michael Bourn.
2. Sign Kevin Youkilis to a 2 year, $25 million contract.
I know the injury risks that go along with both of these fellows. But, they're the best players available at their positions this offseason. If Amaro can get Youkilis on a one or two year deal, it could end up being a steal for the Phillies.
The veteran third baseman has seen a decline in his health and production the past few seasons. But, when compared to the motley crew of available players at the hot corner, he's a wide step up. After getting traded to the White Sox from Boston, Youk's production rose dramatically. He's still a sharp fielder, and that coupled with his experience would make him a fine snag short term.
3. Sign Koji Uehara to a one year, $4.5 million contract.
The 37-year-old Japanese right hander has blossomed since his move to the bullpen in 2010. After coming over to America in 2009 as a starter with Baltimore, Uehara evolved into a capable late-inning bullpen piece. He was traded to Texas in 2011, and experienced the best numbers of his career in 2012. Uehara pitched 36 innings with the Rangers, going 0-0 with a 1.75 ERA, 1 save, and a 43:3 strikeout to walk ratio.
With the Wilton Lopez deal falling through, the Phils should look at Uehara as a fine alternative.
4. Platoon Darin Ruf/Domonic Brown in Right Field; Nate Schierholtz/John Mayberry in Left Field.
You cannot spend money everywhere and hope to still have some come next year. The Phillies need to maximize their monetary value by keeping their corner outfield positions in house. Luckily, the Phils have plenty of depth at those positions, even if it's of the unspectacular variety.
Brown has been the Phillies' top prospect and most untouchable asset for what feels like three decades now. His development was stunted by the presence of Jayson Werth, Raul Ibanez, and Hunter Pence. Now, it's time to let him roam free. Ruf, meanwhile, burst onto the scene in 2012. After being named just the 20th best prospect in the Phillies' system, the 26-year-old slugger made his name in the minors before emerging as a bonafide power threat in the majors during his September call up. Playing Brown against most righties and Ruf against most lefties would maximize their value and allow the team to truly judge who is the keeper.
Meanwhile, at the other corner outfield spot, there is also an opening. John Mayberry had a mediocre season (his .695 OPS was the worst among Phillies with over 400 at bats). But, his performance against lefties (.811 OPS) was better than the $75 million man himself, BJ Upton. His platoon partner would be Nate Schierholtz, whom the Phillies acquired from San Francisco in July. With one of the best arms in baseball, the left handed hitting Schierholtz would give the Phillies an added asset in the outfield.
5. Sign Brandon McCarthy to a 3 year, $24 million contract.
A former top prospect of the Chicago White Sox; McCarthy's name was thrown around an awful lot back in 2005 when the Sox were interested in former Phillies' closer Billy Wagner. Now, seven years and a whole lot of surgeries later, the former ace-in-waiting has evolved into a very talented middle-of-the-rotation starter. Yes, he is still an injury risk. But, the potential reward is worth it.
Over the last two seasons, McCarthy has made 43 starts. Over that span, he's 17-15 with a 3.29 ERA and a 196:49 strikeout to walk ratio. That impressive control is further magnified by the fact that he has thrown just 3 wild pitches in two seasons.
Now, some may be wondering why the Phillies need to invest more capital into starting pitching. Well, let us consider this for a moment. The team has two aging aces at the top in Roy Halladay (free agent after 2013) and Cliff Lee. Their health and longevity is certainly something to keep an eye on. After those two and Cole Hamels, it becomes a question mark as to whom will take over the #4 and #5 spots in the rotation. Vance Worley's promising 2011 was overrun by a disappointing 2012. His campaign eventually ended with elbow problems, and we're not quite sure how productive he will be in 2013. Then, there's Kyle Kendrick. KK enjoyed the best year of his career and I expect him to be in the rotation come Spring Training. But, if Worley is hurt and Kendrick (whose contract also runs out after 2013) remains inconsistent, the Phillies will have some serious problems at the back end.
If McCarthy weren't such an injury risk, he would probably be commanding a 5-6 year deal worth $15+ million a year. But, if the Phillies can get him for 3 or fewer years and under $10 million annually, they will have to jump.
Projected Lineup
1. SS Jimmy Rollins
2. C Carlos Ruiz
3. 2B Chase Utley
4. 1B Ryan Howard
5. CF Josh Hamilton
6. 3B Kevin Youkilis
7. RF Domonic Brown/Darin Ruf
8. LF John Mayberry/Nate Schierholtz

Speaker: Paul Smith
Location: Physics 175
Time: August 25 2015
All dressed up and ready to go: a quick look at dressed fields.
Abstract: Exotic states not predicted by the conventional quark model, such as X(3872), have been discovered en masse over the past decade. Traditionally, exotic heavy-light diquark correlation functions formulated using Schwinger strings have been used to study these states. In this talk I explore the possibility of using a "dressed" field as an alternative means of gathering gauge-invariant information about diquark interactions.
Alternative Abstract: Join me on a magical journey through the realms of particle physics, quantum field theory, and locally gauge invariant fields! A brief gander through history will be taken as I look (very briefly) at the development of the standard model. The major players (gluons, pions, quarks, and more!) will be introduced in a casual, almost personal, fashion and their characteristics and interactions will be introduced. Of course, this will only be done after laying down a little bit of world-building through the establishment of some of the main components that drive the QCD life. Action and drama is the name of the game as the struggle for gauge invariant information is brought to a shocking conclusion.
Be there. Experience QCD, gauges, and Bohr bashing like never before (In all reality, it'll probably just be a generic grad student seminar, but let's keep that on the dl).

Disney's adaptation of the classic Western is saddled with political and spiritual baggage…
I just read a movie review of "Lone Ranger" which I found very insightful.
"…viewers who can unhitch mentally from the rollicking fun will find the movie is freighted with political and spiritual baggage. It largely glorifies Native American cultures while Christianity and Western culture take a beating."
Okay, but hold on… one could say the same think about a movies "Dances With Wolves" as well, and why is this a bad thing? If the shoe fits… kemosabe… but what is different about the "Lone Ranger" is the use of the mask. What does this symbolize? To me it is a symbol of how Western Culture (following a Christian tradition) is quick to set-up the false authority of a hierarchical control over others (like the American Indians). There are two side to this mask, as I will endeavor to explain.
The Wild Wild West is a symbol of the WWW (world wide web). It is called a "web" and a "net" for a reason, because DARPA created it to help the government "catch" people. The CIA financed the private company Google because it was a NSA project, the goal was to read the minds of the populace, so see behind their collective "mask" and know them better than they know themselves. It is a tool of State-Craft (read: witch-craft) to help the political system maintain it's false authority over people.
So then, let's hypothesize about the Lone Ranger, and ask what does this masking of one man's persona mean? What does it symbolize?
The movie review (referenced above) has this to say: "a preacher runs Tonto out of town hatefully calling him a heathen Christianity is presented as a religion of greed and ignorance. (…) As evil white men betray all decency, when the Lone Ranger finally dons his mask, it symbolizes his rejection of Western culture."
Okay, now let's talk about this CULT-ure.
We live in a society where we prefer secrecy and hiding over being who we say we are and having nothing to hide. We then want to be able to turn around and leverage the fact that we know that others are hiding something, so that we have the option of digging up dirt on them so that we can turn it in to actionable information that can be used to 'get' them. In the science of anthropology, that is commonly referred to as witchcraft…
…and that is what the DARPA creation, "The Internet" has realized in a way
that far exceeds the NSA's wildest dreams.
Everyone knows, without being told, that a great deal of hardware and software development comes from the demand of people wanting to not be 'seen' while they are indulging in vice. And to a great extent, this has become the basis for what most people experience as the World Wide Web. We want to keep it that way because we are not willing to give up what we perceive…
…to be the freedom of being anonymous–but deep inside we know this mask we hide behind is an illusion. Still, even this delusion of being "anonymous" gives us a thrill because we know there is a risk our secret life could be exposed (and that only fuels the addictive process).
We insist on this secret space so that our secret selves have a place from which to operate, and to perpetrate on others a digital version of what we have perpetrated on one another for millenia.
With all this talk about NSA spying, we have forgotten the true meaning of Witchcraft.
Witchcraft is about fear and control. It's about a very, very personalized assault on someone's being, using the most personal articles and information attainable from and about that person.
It is all about blackmail, that's how witchcraft (and cults) work. In this climate, we see computer hackers and whistle-blowers (Lone Rangers) fighting back.
While the John Depp film might be lame (the critics hated it) it does give us some symbol to work with. Like the movie The Matrix there is no end to how we can interpret these metaphors and that is what is so powerful about symbolic language. Whether it be a 'B movie' or the Bible, everything is a metaphor but not every metaphor has our name on it (until you search out the meaning for yourself).
The mask has a dual meaning. It can be a symbol of a person who is self-righteous, in either a good or bad way. Have you ever seen the movie "Serpico"? Well, Francesco Serpico is a is for me a symbol of a good form of self-righteousness. This movie is both a true story and a cautionary tale about what happens when you play the role of Lone Ranger in the real world. As a cop in New York City, Serpico is famous for testifying against police corruption in 1971. He got shot in the face for his trouble–that was the price he paid for being honest. It is also a good leason for any would-be whitleblower who thinks they can work within the system to change things.
The second meaning of the mask is to hide our vice, and this goes hand in had with being self-righteous. People who live secret lives are very often the most self-righteous. These are the "People of the Lie" that M Scott Peck called evil. These people love false authority–that is their mask.
Is the Lone Ranger a lover of false authority or self-righteous romantic who is too honest? Perhaps, he is a symbol of both, and thus a metaphor of "the mask" most American wear. From behind that mask we believe in American exceptionalism. Namely, the proposition that the United States is different from other countries in that it has a specific world mission to spread liberty and democracy (from the barrel of a gun of a gun).
Christians seem to like to tell other people how to behave and act as if they never do anything wrong. They also tend to focus only upon a few moral issues – namely abortion and gay marriage – seemingly to the exclusion of more important issues, such as justice and care for the poor. Is this the kind of behavior the Bible commends or are these people acting against what biblical Christianity actually stands for? Although many who claim to be Christians act as if they are better than everybody else, such a "holier-than-thou" attitude is antithetical to biblical Christianity.
However you look at, it is best to remove the mask… but how many people really do?
Alexander Lowen identified narcissists as having a true and a false, or superficial, self. The false self rests on the surface, as the self presented to the world. It stands in contrast to the true self, which resides behind the facade or image. This true self is the feeling self, but it is a self that must be hidden and denied. Since the superficial self represents submission and conformity, the inner or true self is rebellious and angry. This underlying rebellion and anger can never be fully suppressed since it is an expression of the life force in that person. But because of the denial, it cannot be expressed directly. Instead it shows up in the narcissist's acting out. And it can become a perverse force.
Freud himself, with his late theory of 'the ego as constituted in its nucleus by a series of alienating identifications', had produced a theory of 'the Ego, which does bear some comparison with the False Self'. Erich Fromm, in his The Fear of Freedom distinguished between original self and pseudo self, the latter being a way to escape the loneliness of freedom, at the cost of losing the original self.
The false self wants the status quo of "control" to continue and does not want you to feel pain, yet the deeper self wants healing. Our deeper self shows us the signs of trying to achieve healing by the partners we choose, the friends we have, physical and mental ailments we suffer from and our dreams and nightmares.
I came to realise that many people in todays Western world do not have a sense of who they are, a sense of identity and boundaries. We have masks which we show to the world (the perfect white washed cottage) but on the inside we are a mess, and we are usually very good at hiding it from the world. But suppression and repression are dangerous games to play – the body will only allow it for a certain amount of time. Many of us are like a volcano about to erupt, a bomb about to blow – how long do we ignore the signs before we begin to self destruct?
Meditation can be an excellent therapy which allows us to get to the bottom of issues in our lives. It helps us wake up to the here and now and look at where we are stuck. It allows us to see the "life story" we have been playing out and can bring us to a state of awareness in which we can then make changes.
"The only way we can find peace in our own health, find the pathway that leads to liberation, is by changing ourselves, not by changing the world"

Home to more than 6500 restaurants, 2800 food stands, and too many delis to count, Germany's capital is dense with gastronomic delight. But don't be fooled by the abundance of delicatessens – whose etymology evokes delicacy – because there is nothing dainty about Berlin's food scene. Rather, the city is known for its wealth of hearty (if not always healthy), meat-heavy, mouthwatering dishes. And while Berlin is certainly no stranger to Michelin stars, fine dining, or sumptuous culinary refinement, the true character of the city's cuisine is decidedly down-to-Earth, casual, and quick. With average winter highs hovering around 2 degrees Celsius and only 46 hours of daylight each January, it is no wonder Berliners are enthusiastic about meals that (if you will pardon the expression) put a little meat on the bones.
Brats and Burgers
Berlin's currywurst kiosks are iconic in the local culinary landscape. Patrons order these delicious pork sausages covered in spicy ketchup and curry powder, then eat them standing at raised tables in typical brisk and efficient German fashion. Discerning palates always order their wursts ohne darm, without skin, which is slightly paler and juicier than the alternative.
As for burgers, they come in all shapes and sizes, but are often bacon-laden and smeared thick with stone ground hot mustard. And for those who prefer no bun, Buletten (succulent meatballs served with chips) is another signature dish you'll find at popular kiosks around Berlin.
Everything is Bigger in Berlin
The characteristically tall locals aren't the only aspect of Berlin that exceeds the ordinary. The city is also home to the world's largest and most widely renowned beer garden: the annual Berlin Beer Festival. Needless to say, no German culinary guide would be complete without mentioning beer, a staple of the Bavarian diet. In this city, they pour draft beers slowly, the way beer ought to be poured, and most local menus feature a selection of quality pilsners and stouts—the perfect accompaniment for everything from eisbein mit sauerkraut(ham hock served with sauerkraut) to kartoffelpuffer (pan fried potato cakes with egg, spices, and sometimes applesauce).
Berlin also boasts the largest deli in Europe. Shoppers in KaDeWe's 7000 square meter delicatessen section choose from more than 34,000 products, including artisan cheeses, handmade mustard, signature local sausages, and a seemingly endless selection of meat. Be sure to spend a few hours here if you'll be cooking for yourself between restaurant stops during your next stay.
How to Say 'Ich Bin Ein Berliner'
Well, the easiest way is probably to just say ich bin ein Berliner; but you'll be much more convincing if you manage to order like a local instead. So for appetizers, don't miss an opportunity to try hackepeter. Just be forewarned: it's not for the faint of heart. Hackepeter is raw pork seasoned with salt, pepper, garlic, caraway, and sometimes onions, and eaten on slices of toasted baguette. If you can adapt to the local disposition, and get past the raw pork, it is actually quite delicious.
For dinner, practice your German accent and order gebratener hering (fried and battered herring) and erbsen puree (pea soup garnished with roasted onions and bacon). Or if it happens to be wintertime, and your appetite is light, get flammkuchen (a thin, pizza-like flatbread with bacon, sour cream, and onions). If you still have room when it is time for dessert, get a slice of Käsekuchen (opulent quark-based German cheesecake).
Brilliant Breakfasts and Twisted Snacks
While there are countless ways to enjoy breakfast in Berlin, the one not to miss combines the best of German meats, cheese, and bread. Head to a local café (you won't have to look far) for a toasted open-faced sourdough sandwich, spread with creamy quark, chives, buttermilk, and cured ham. Later, as you tour the city, taking in the sights and sounds, keep an eye out for South German lye bread pretzels. While perhaps not a native Berlin snack, they are a must-eat for every visiting foodie.
Of course, Berlin's food scene today is also flavored by a wide range of multiethnic influence. With large Turkish and Jewish populations, Germany's capital is rich in dishes ranging from falafel to baklava, and home to countless fusion eateries and international tastes. In fact, Vietnamese food has become quite popular amongst Berliners, and Phó restaurants have been cropping up throughout the city in recent years. As with all important culinary centres, however, Berlin's food culture constantly evolves, yet never truly departs from the flavorful tradition that makes its dishes so distinct, unique, and delicious.

King Of Rock and Roll sounds as good today as the first time the world knew about him
Then an everlasting legend was born.
John Lennon said some time ago: "Before Elvis there was nothing". Well, maybe this is kind of
extreme for any Frank Sinatra, Chuck Berry or Ella Fitzgerald's fan. But Mister Lennon was
talking about Rock and Roll music and when you consider the source, you realise
Elvis Presley
is the greatest solo legend of all time
He left this world in August 16, 1977 and music hasn't been the same since then. Elvis' legacy
goes from his multi-million selling catalogue (over 600 million records sold) to the way he truly
revolutionised on-stage performances. Before him everything in music scene was quite smooth,
tender and safe.
After Elvis music and sex seemed meant to be as one. But not everything about him was those
erotic, unmatched pelvic movements. Elvis Presley was the owner of a wonderful, amazing, manly
voice able to place dozens of number one singles in USA and England.
He sang about romantic adventures and escapades, always with a perfect style and precision
that led him to superstardom.
Often imitated but never duplicated
he had his mistakes of course, both on and off stage.
Those boring movies he made are nothing compared to the disastrous outcome of years of
addiction and depression. And, as the greatest legends do, he died pretty young at the age of 42.
This August 16th will be his 34th mournful anniversary and he's still very much
remembered by his millions of fans around the world. The Rock and Roll scene misses
him and after all this time, there's still no match for Elvis Presley
Long Live The King! And yes, he's always on our minds...

Tami's Story
Hiya! I'm Tami.
I'm [agecalc birthdate="1989-03-02″] years old and live in lovely Lowestoft in Suffolk with my other half Lee and my pride and joy Manny, the Miniature Dachshund.
My Background
After finishing High School, I decided to get a job to save money for driving lessons so I could be more independent. The plan was to go to dance college with the aim of becoming a professional dance teacher as I've danced since the age of 2 (and I still do).
By the time I passed my driving test a lot of my friends and contacts in the dance industry had said being a dance teacher wasn't very profitable for them. There was a lot of competition around at that time, and it would take a lot of time, effort and expense to build up a dance school. Time and effort was something I had but money wasn't.
What I Did Next
I saw a vacancy at a local big high street bank and thought I would apply as I enjoyed what came with working: my own money, car, and independence, and a bank seemed like a good, long term career path.
When I was hired at the bank in 2007 at the age of 18, all my family were really proud and thought it was an amazing job to have. I worked as a cashier and enjoyed helping people understand confusing bank jibberish and giving great customer service. I was nominated for many awards within the branch for top customer service and was recognised as one of the most popular counter staff.
This quickly became overshadowed by my unachieved sales targets.
The pressure was applied constantly, forcing me into trying to persuade customers who did not want/need products, that they should buy them. This wasn't me at all. My name was still top of the customer service charts that came round, but no thanks or praise was given to me by the managers, instead I was reprimanded for not hitting my targets. I'd had enough!
Onto Something New
In 2011 I found a job as an Administrative Assistant at an office for a small, local business and it was great. Everything I enjoyed at the bank without the sales, the only thing that I didn't enjoy was having to ask permission to book a holiday etc, with Lee able to get up and go at the drop of a hat, it was frustrating for both of us that I had to work around my colleagues.
It was always a bit of a drag getting up early in the morning as I HAD to be at work by a certain time, leaving Lee and Manny in the nice warm house and going out into a cold car, driving to and from work in darkness.
We wanted something to work on together so we could enjoy quality time together and live a lifestyle where all we had to answer to was ourselves (and Manny for walkies!)
Moving Forward
I am now working full time from home with Lee (and Manny :-)) after Lee found a business that we could both work together on from home, and I'm loving every minute of it!
We are personal students of Stuart Ross (founder of The Six Figure Mentors) and are founding Black members of the DEA.
The Future
I'm really looking forward to learning and building our business to great heights. We are looking at trips away to expand our knowledge and I can't wait to get more involved in helping as many people as possible. Lee has loads of experience in earning money online but this is all new to me.
I'm really enjoying learning new skills and can't wait for the challenges to come.

Create fast, affordable video content in Non-profit.See how it works
Are you a video creator in Non-profit? Get work.
Nonprofits need a way to send their message to potential donors, and video production is an excellent way to tell your organization's story and demonstrate why your cause is important. By keeping your mission concise and making a call to action while you have the viewer's attention, you can make an extremely effective appeal for your cause. With the right combination of storytelling, visual cues, immersive audio, and real-life examples of your organization helping people, a video can be the perfect medium for raising awareness of your cause and getting donations.
Getting started is super easy. Just fill out simple quote request form and one of our video consultants will get back to you, fast.Create Video
Viewers may already be familiar with what you do, but they want to see how you do it. What is your process for carrying out your mission? What kind of resources do you use and how do you use them? Who are you helping?
Testimonies from real people that tell stories about the organization are a must-have in nonprofit videos. Have volunteers and beneficiaries speak on camera about why they support your organization's work and how it helped them. A live example of what you have accomplished makes a powerful appeal for donations.
Keep the video to less than one minute. For nonprofit videos in particular, 3-4 minutes is acceptable in certain circumstances but viewer retention starts dropping off after the 2-minute mark. Shorter videos with a concise message are more effective for making an emotional appeal that people will recall easily.
Visual cues are obviously a major part of making a nonprofit video, but don't forget about the powerful effects that music can have on people. Think about how many people end up in tears because of that ASPCA commercial that uses Sarah McLachlan's "Angel", and it's made an enormous impression on viewers. If you're unable to afford the rights to songs by major artists, see about licensing other songs or having original music composed.
Is this video specifically meant for getting donations, recruiting volunteers, or just to be shared? You can have a fantastic example of what the nonprofit does, but a muddled call to action and reasoning for why viewers would take that action. Show why it's a cause people would want to volunteer for, what the viewer's donation would go towards, and the impact that sharing the content will have (such as that people were not as aware of a disease or social issue until people shared videos.) Then clearly define the call to action at the end of the video, including links for where people can donate or sign up to volunteer.
90 Seconds is the world's leading cloud video creation platform, allowing brands to purchase, plan, shoot, edit and review video anywhere in the world, online and on mobile.

Our products are designed to give you the very best in value and performance, working with many different applications at your facility.
Paving energy means saving time, money, and saving yourself from unwanted stress. If any issues arise with your variable speed drives, our expert service support team is only a phone call away.

Our innovative designs extend to our selection of fuses for sale online, which are important to protect your industrial system from overheating and overcurrent.

I know using .NET languages such as C#, one can do something like
to find the redirected location of the Desktop. However, under Java, I cannot think of a good way to do this. What is the most appropriate way to find a redirected user Desktop directory from Java, without using JNI? The specific purpose here is for the purposes of managing a desktop shortcut, if the user wants one, for a Java Web Start application.
This application needs to write to the "Application Data" tree as well as optionally to the Desktop. I am making the assumption that
%APPDATA% is always correctly populated, even when folders are redirected, for finding the "Application Data" tree. So my open question is how to reliably find the Desktop folder.
NOTE: I believe that the Java system property
${user.home} actually (and erroneously) locates the user's Desktop directory via registry keys and then tries to navigate up one directory to find the "home" directory. This works fine when no directories are redirected, and otherwise may or may not return something useful.

i'm lying in the bath listening to 'what's a girl to do' by fatima yamaha. my face is bleeding. i haven't got a nose bleed, or anything else along those lines- i've just been picking at my chin; my cheeks. lately, i've been breaking out more than ever before. it's because i'm stressed, anxious; constantly nervous in a way that i've never experienced. this year has been rough on my mental health in so many ways that i never thought possible, and my skin's been showing it – no matter what time of the month it is, there's a zit sneaking up somewhere, reminding me of how stressed i feel. even in the most mundane moments, i'm riddled with tension. i've been experiencing so much discomfort in my own space that it's started appearing in physical ways – not just in my skin, but in a bunch of other ways, too. like what i've felt like listening to. all i've been listening to is disco. and funk, among other things.
i don't know if my sudden interest in disco (and funk, and house music, and whatever else) has that much to do with my current mental health status. but i've been thinking about it a lot, and i've decided that it does, because i'm into this concept i've come up with. basically, for the last month, i've been filling every silence with grooves. i used to only listen to this kind of music when i felt like dancing – like, when i was about to go out with friends and we needed to warm ourselves up. but in my downtime i would always settle back down to quiet music – no matter what, i'd be coming home to joni's 'blue' at the end of the night. but lately it's not just been my downtime that i've started filling with grooves – it's literally been every silence. i shower to maria kozic, i eat lunch to fonda rae, i fall asleep to duran duran. i can no longer deal with my own settled in, quiet time. i can't wind down because i'm constantly looking up another website to stream hours of disco from (this page i scoured out here is good). it's never ending. and i know that the way i'm describing all of this sounds like some sort of living-hell-experience with no silences, but i've found so much goodness in this. so, hear me out.
basically, i've been filling every silence because i've been afraid of being alone with myself – with my mental health all muddled up, i've been trying my best to keep the quiet as far away as i can, so i won't have to listen to myself think. if i let myself think too long, i get stuck – reverberating between my own walls, i feel enclosed and confined by my own brain in a way that feels claustrophobic; like my sense of self starts threatening my real self. if i fill the silences, i can't hear my sense of self speak – she gets drowned out, so instead, i can only focus on my real self: my physical self. this is the girl you're seeing; the girl you're hearing as you're reading this. she's the girl you know, and the girl i'm trying to get to know again. it's easier for me to get to know this girl again if i concentrate on my tangibility; my concrete identity. one of the best ways i've realised i can do this is through dancing. so in comes the disco.
dancing in your bedroom is one of the best ways you can learn to inhabit your own body again. i mean, i know i've been living in my body this whole time, regardless of where my mental health has been leading me – but when my insides feel like they're in shambles, i start to feel a sense of disconnect between the whirlpool inside my head and what's really going on, outside in the real world, beyond me. dancing has been one of the best ways i've realised i can reconnect with my physicality; the real world. it's important to me that these reconnecting experiences take place in my bedroom, specifically, because it's important that no one else is around to watch me have these moments. i mean, i know that dancing among friends is fun, but in order to re-inhabit myself in the right way, it needs to just be me. me, my bedroom, my disco, and my bad skin. it's one of the only ways i've learnt to be alone with myself, and it's so much fun. being alone is less frightening when fatima yamaha is keeping me company.
i've compiled a playlist of what i've been grooving to lately. i recommend you listen to it in your bedroom, with you and only you. listen in on 8tracks here.
all my love,
(PS. we're compiling a video that will go with this post. it's a homage to bedroom grooves – if you, or anyone you know, resonates with experiences of dancing alone, feel free to send a clip of you dancing to lucky star by madonna to email@example.com – we'd love to see yr moves!)

TOKYO (Reuters) - Aviation regulators will allow Boeing (BA.N) 787 Dreamliners to operate in Japan without locator beacons which have been identified by British investigators as a likely source of a fire on board one of the aircraft in London last week, two aviation sources said.
ANA Holdings (9202.T), which has 20 Dreamliners, and Japan Airlines Co (9201.T), which has eight, need fly only with their portable emergency transmitters, said the sources, who had knowledge of the rule change.
Britain's Air Accident Investigation Branch (AAIB) said the locator beacon made by Honeywell International Inc (HON.N) and its lithium-based battery was the only equipment on the Ethiopian Airlines plane parked at Heathrow Airport that had the power to start a fire and called on regulators to review its use.
ANA, the world's biggest operator of Boeing's carbon composite plane, will over the next two weeks remove all the emergency beacons from its 787s to inspect them and their batteries for any defects or damage, a company spokesman said.
The transmitters will be put back after the checks are complete, he added.

If the banners are not showing up, that's because my image host has exceeded its bandwidth. Yeah, I should find a better one... technically I could use my Graphic Smash/WCN one but that'd be an abuse of the account, wouldn't it?
Anyway, you'll notice I've added links to some other webcomic news sites and blogs. Of those four listed, I'm addicted to Comixpedia and more recently, Websnark. News at the 'pedia has been a little slow of late though, and the forums are down :( Websnark is extremely addictive, which is surprising when you consider that as someone else said "it's just some guy talking about webcomics". But I feel compelled to point out it's some very interesting talking about webcomics... and it updates multiple times daily!
I love Sequential Tart, although I usually visit around the beginning of the month when a new issue updates.
The Webcomics Examiner I don't really read, although I've skimmed through it a few times. Somehow it still hasn't clicked with me yet. Maybe it will when more stuff comes up.
With the pre-review the pre-amble done, on to the latest leg:
Comic: The Fray
By: Rob Niedojadlo
Genre and Setting: Sci-Fi, Humour
Art Style: Inks, Black & White, Stylised Cartoony, Newspaper Format
Is About: The Fray, the legendary 'Chosen One' of the (extremely adorable) aliens who are planning an invasion of earth. However, a lowly alien worker named Grugg has accidentally caused the demise of The Fray while he lies in hyper-sleep. In a panic, Grugg proceeds to impersonate The Fray, with disasterous (and hilarious) results.
Website: http://www.funnybonecomics.com/
Frequency: Unknown. Comic is released in chapters.
Availability: Free
First Impressions and Presentation:
Deja vu. I've seen that cute alien on the right somewhere else before. Of course! Comixpedia. If I'm not mistaken, the artist did a cover for one of the issues of Comixpedia before... and there it is. (Name's misspelled as 'Niedojadio' there, though.)
There seem to be two comics (Confetti and The Fray) hosted on the same website. Judging from the news posts, the other comic, Confetti has just started, so I guess that leaves The Fray.
BTW, the website is nice, slick and clean-looking, although slightly generic.
The Concept:
I love the concept of these funny little anti-hero aliens invading earth and (attempting to) wipe out the human race. Especially when it's revealed the biggest obstacle they have to doing so is themselves.
I also found the 'The One in hyper-sleep' gone wrong plot point hilariousl. You would think that with all those cryogenic sleep stories, there'd be a case or two where something goes wrong. And apparently, something does.
A fun and original concept for a story, and most refreshing to see something different.
The Art:
Slick. Adorably cute.
The drawing style is distinctive, which always scores major points with me. And since we're talking about aliens here, the crazy porportions (imagine just a head, and then a jumble of little limbs beneath it) make perfect sense.
The comic looks great, with great use of large areas of flat black and white. I'm especially impressed at how Rob manages to merge the title of the comic (The Fray) with the comic itself by making it part of the dialogue.
Considering the comic is in a newspaper strip format (which you will agree, can be rather restrictive) The Fray employs a range of surprisingly dynamic angles and viewpoints when telling the story. The 'camera' closes in, swoops out, sometimes you see only silhouettes, handily leaving stuff that should be left to imagination to imagination.
Fantastic work, the art. It's heavily stylised, but not so that it loses its expressiveness, which is actually a harder thing to achieve than it sounds.
The Writing:
The Fray endeavors to be funny, and it is. The level of 'funny' isn't the side-splitting tears-pouring level of funny you might get on some other comics (Early strips from Sluggy Freelance come to mind), but it's more of an 'chuckle-heh' kind of funny. The good thing is that it's consistent: every time I get to the punchline of a strip, I find myself laughing or chuckling more often than not. The interesting thing is that despite repetitive reading, I still find the strips funny, which isn't a common occurence for me
One more positive point about The Fray is that it doesn't feel bounden to be 'funny' all the time. Some of the strips end on a dramatic (and slightly serious) note, which is refreshing. There's nothing I dislike as much as forced humour.
The story is actually quite commendable, and you do emphatise with poor Grugg as things get from bad to worse for him.
Oh, I should mention I was quite impressed that the aliens do have respect even for their lowest crewmen, as 'The Fray' was put to trial for allegedly murdering Grugg. I thought that was an excellent twist, considering he is the Chosen One and all.
I have no idea when this comic updates, or will update. It's kinda annoying as I want MORE FRAY!
Other than that, I don't really have any other gripes worth whining about.
An excellent and genuinely amusing comic. Ping likee!
And those aliens are just too darned irresistably cute.

January 3, 2012 Leave a comment
December in Argentina is quite hot, especially because only three days before Christmas, the summer begins.
I remember that in this time of the year, the routine was repeated, year after year, no doubt. The 24th, my sisters and I used to arrive early at my grandmother's house to help her preparing everything for the big night. Few hours later my cousins arrived and we all waited quiet and anxious for the clock to give the 12 to go and get our presents under the Christmas tree, the one that I helped decorating, very exciting, some days before Christmas.
Of course, there were no big chimneys, no elk, or deer… not even big decorations; but what was always there, no doubt, was the whole family: adults, elderly and children. Everyone, together, gathered around a large table (that as the years passed it seemed to me that it was getting smaller, although it was always the same). I remember that everyone was happy, expectantly, as if that time of the year was special, something magic. As the time passed by, I realized that, maybe, that feeling with which adults expected Christmas, with which they prepared everything and with which they waited the family reunion, that excitement, was produced because every Christmas Eve reminded them the ones that they lived in their childhood, when Christmas is more a magic story than a Christian holiday. It is the shearing, the enjoying, the excitement, the laughs, the mourn, the meetings with old friends who live far away… it is that feeling of being together and discovering the good and valuable things we have in this life.
As a child, I used to get increasingly anxious with each passing minute and I was constantly watching the clock… the eleven o'clock, half past eleven, quarter to twelve, ten to twelve… it was almost the moment…. From there my eyes focused on the sky and, with my sisters and cousins, we looked for an old man in the dark, with a red costume and a big white beard, carrying a big red bag with cars, dolls, bicycles, balls and toys, coming from unimaginable places… But it always happened the same, in some distraction, Santa Clause landed who knows where his sleds, and left the presents under the Christmas tree, with name and surname so nobody confuse the packages. Everyone received gifts, adults and children… Even grandparents!
As an adult, I choose Buenos Aires to celebrate this holiday with my family, although now is smaller than 25 years ago. Visiting Buenos Aires before Christmas is having thousands of unimaginable ways of expressing the same feelings.
From late November and early December begins the preparations to make the city look like a huge Christmas tree, where the shops invite you to a fantasy and illusion trip, with their storefronts decorated, waiting for Christmas.
The streets are not far behind. It worth getting lost along the most important Avenues as Santa Fe, Callao, Corrientes or the 9th July Avenue itself, or around the small streets of traditional neighborhoods as San Telmo, Palermo, Belgrano, Recoleta, la Boca or the city center, where the colours of Santa Clause paint everything they touch.
Besides the Obelisk that decorated or not is the main Christmas tree of the city, hundreds of other trees are lighted every night, either by its owners themselves or by some institution which celebrates Christmas that way.
That's why, even it isn't exist the snow of New York, the elk of Montreal or the camels and kings of Middle East, this city gets unforgettable during this part of the year. Impossible to be ignored.
Buenos Aires allows us to dream again, as when we were kids. Where the possibility of crossing just around the corner the elusive Santa Claus was something that could certainly happened to us.

I am reposting this recipe because over time I have made some changes and thought it a good idea. The changes have made it more of a paste than a slurry (which didn't work very well). I know most people don't appreciate the taste of this particular spice, but it has the most beneficial properties for anyone suffering from a lot of pain.
When I was in extreme pain, I took a LOT of pain killers. It wasn't until I was given this recipe and found out about turmeric and all its wonderful benefits that I started to use it. I am totally blown away by how well it works and how quickly.
If you are experiencing pain, you should try this recipe – although saying this, you might want to add my Chai Tea Latte recipe to it to get it down! Turmeric on its own isn't very pleasant, however, tweak it a bit and you will still get all the benefits with good taste too!
Turmeric Paste Recipe - Updated (AIP, Paleo, Dairy and Refined Sugar Free)
- 1/2 Cup Dried Turmeric
- 1 Cup Water Filtered
- Pinch - 1-1/2 Tsp Pepper
Place all ingredients into a medium saucepan.
Heat on medium-high until the mixture reaches a boil.
Turn down heat to medium to medium-low (should still have bubbles) and cook for 6-8 minutes, or until it thickens.
Store in mason jar with tight fitting lid in the refrigerator.
Recipe Notes
You can add another 1/2 cup of filtered water once you have finished making your paste if it is too thick.
To use: place 1 tsp. of the turmeric recipe in hot tea, mix with a dash cinnamon (if tolerated) and honey to taste. Take this 3 times a day to help with your condition.

In a little over a month it will be 4 years since I started writing my blog. (Note to self: Let's have a little online party of giveaways!)
It's funny to think back to those days in the run up to taking that big step of launching out into the big blogosphere. I mean, would anyone be remotely interested in anything I had to say?!
I had no idea back then how many lovely friends I would meet online.
What's even more exciting than getting to know new friends online is the chance to meet them for real!
Especially those from far off lands!
That's exactly what happened last summer - I just didn't get round to blogging about it with all our other summer happenings and then the countdown to new baby.
I can't remember now when, or how, we found each other's blogs but a few years ago I got to know Keri who blogs at Keri-On. Then through her blog I got to know her oldest daughter Sarah, a musician like me, who blogs at the Lord's Lass.
Sarah and two of her friends were coming over from the west coast of the US for a trip around Europe and were heading to Scotland. Their visit coincided with our trip home to Lewis and the girls were persuaded that Lewis was definitely worth visiting on their trip. We were able to meet up for an afternoon while they were up when they came over to my parents' house for lunch.
Sarah is second from the right. And that's little Fraser as my 26 week bump!
We were at the end of our holiday in Lewis and the girls were also heading down our way so we were able to meet up a second day when they came round for dinner at our house. This time I didn't get any photos but we did have a lovely evening together.
Fast forward to this past weekend and it was the turn of two of Sarah's brothers to do a spot of globe trotting.
On their brief visit to Scotland they had a spot of time in their schedule to come out and spend Sunday with us. The boys really enjoyed the chance to get to know them. We took them along to their first Scottish church service (and their second!). The boys introduced them to shinty before lunch and then after lunch I'm pretty sure our visitors were told more facts about various bits and pieces about Scottish sports than they could ever retain!
All these new meetings, new friends and connections just because I took those first steps online!

The National Revolutionary Martyrs' Shrine in Taipei is dedicated to the 330,000 people who sacrificed their lives to the revolution preceding the establishment of the Republic of China (Taiwan). The military police officers who guard the main gate have been rigidly trained to stand like expressionless statues, and their hourly changing of the guard has become a major tourist attraction in Taipei.
