Top Yogurt with Tiny Crunchy Grains: How To Make Toasted Amaranth
I find breakfasts this time of year pretty exciting, mainly because I can subsist on yogurt and fruit and be quite happy, and summer fruits are finally here! But I also have a little secret up my sleeve: toasted amaranth.
If you're not familiar with amaranth, it's a seed that folks generally lump into the category of "whole grains" (like quinoa). It's gluten-free and especially high in protein and calcium. While many people like to make porridge with amaranth or cook it like a pilaf for a substantial side dish, I love to simply toast it in a hot skillet on the stovetop and sprinkle it over my yogurt, smoothies, or granola in the morning. The teeny tiny grains puff up much like mini popcorn. I often make extra and keep it in an air-tight jar to sprinkle on salads or soups throughout the week. A quick high-protein boost, a pretty darn delightful crunch.
How To Toast Amaranth: Heat a heavy-bottom saucepan with high edges (the amaranth will jump when they pop much like popcorn) on the stovetop until very hot. Add 2 tablespoons of amaranth and stir continuously until most seeds have puffed up and turned white. Usually about 1/4 of the seeds are resistant to puffing and will turn a light brown color instead — that's OK. Remove from the stovetop before the seeds burn.

How to Get Rid of Clammy Hands
It can be embarrassing when you go to shake hands at an interview or meeting and your palms are coated in a thin layer of sweat. What about when you lift your hands off your desk or phone and leave a trail of moisture? If this is something that you struggle with, here are some solutions to keep your hands high and dry.
1Soak your hands in tea. The tannic acid will dry out your hands. Put your hands in a tea solution or hold onto wet teabags for 30 minutes a day for a week.[1]Ad
2Put antiperspirant on your palms. Make sure it's antiperspirant, not deodorant. Get the unscented kind. Antiperspirant actually reacts with the electrolytes in sweat to form "gel plugs" that block off your sweat ducts.
3Ask your doctor for "Drysol". It is the only thing that you can buy to help clammy hands. But you need a prescription.
4Speak to a therapist. If you have underlying emotional issues, it may help to get therapy.Ad
Are you an expert on algebra?
If so, share what you know about how to learn algebra.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
We are a bit smarter today because of you.
- Stress can stimulate sweating. Relax.
- Pungent food can make for pungent hands; the smell gets carried into your sweat.

for not knowing who christoph waltz is.
it's only fair though, she shoulda known better.
So i was driving and S&M came on the radio and i found myself thinking well gotta hand it to Rihanna, this vocal line in the chorus is so sick and she rides it beautifully so maybe she's better than i thought or at least she works her butt off and gotta respect that.
Then i get cynical and pull up a youtube video of her performing it live at some awards show and she absolutely butchers it, like i knew it right, but still, hopes dashed an all.
But suddenly, who comes out of fucking nowhere delivering a passable (albeit possibly autotuned to hell) rendition of that hook? Britney Spears, i kid you not, youtube it, she comes out at the end of the number and she's all like dude, you're really getting upstaged and outsung by Britney, bitch.
"It's good and short, and i absolutely need to know who that one actor is because i don't know if i've seen him somewhere but he's brilliant and the absolute best at acting." *
* - She meant Christoph Waltz
Seriously tho. Is he referencing Switzerland? Are they known for their beats? Is it a special Swedish root vegetable dish? Is he alluding to Swiss cheese? And if he is what does that have to do with beats or beets? It's all so thoroughly confusing to me.
Need to tattoo this.

about the Cytoplasm-to-vacuole targeting (Cvt) pathway
Cytoplasm-to-vacuole targeting (Cvt) is a constitutive and specific form of autophagy that uses autophagosomal-like vesicles for selective transport of hydrolases aminopeptidase I (Lap4p) and alpha-mannosidase (Ams1p) to the vacuole (2, 7). Unlike autophagy, which is primarily a catabolic process, Cvt is a biosynthetic process. Like autophagosomes, Cvt vesicles form at a structure known as the phagophore assembly site (PAS) (also called the pre-autophagosomal structure). The PAS structure generates an isolation membrane (IM), which expands and eventually fuses along the edges to complete vesicle formation. At the vacuole, the outer membrane of the Cvt vesicle fuses with the vacuolar membrane, the vesicle is degraded, and the cargos are released and processed into their mature forms by vacuolar peptidases (reviewed in 8). The Cvt pathway has not been observed outside of yeast, and enzymes specifically involved in this pathway are not well conserved in other organisms (9 and references therein).
about SNX4
Snx4p encodes a member of the sorting nexin family, which includes proteins that contain a Phox homology (PX) phosphoinositide-binding domain and play a role in membrane protein sorting (10, 6). Of the SNX family members, Snx4p is part of a sub-group of proteins that contain large C-terminal regions with multiple coiled-coil domains (4). The Snx4p PX domain binds phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate and is required for Snx4p localization to the PAS, where the protein plays a role in the Cvt pathway (10, 5). Snx4p also localizes to endosomes, where it functions in endosomal sorting (6).
Null snx4 mutations prevent maturation of aminopeptidase I (Lap4p), indicating defects in Cvt pathway function, and cause improper localization of the v-SNARE Snc1p to the vacuole (2, 6). The role of Snx4p in the Cvt pathway involves interaction with Atg20p (which also carries a PX domain); this complex appears to interact with the Atg1p-Atg13p complex via interaction with Atg17p and Atg11p (5, reviewed in 7 and 9). The Atg20p-Snx4p complex also helps mediate endosomal sorting of Snc1p, which is retrieved from post-Golgi endosomes back to the Golgi; Snc1p is mislocalized to the vacuole in an snx4 (or atg20) null mutant (6). Snx4p also interacts with Btn2p, which is the yeast ortholog of the mammalian Hook1 protein and is likely to function in late endosome-Golgi recycling (11).
Snx4p homologs have been identified in humans (
about autophagy nomenclature
The initial identification of factors involved in autophagy was carried out by several independent labs, which led to a proliferation of nomenclature for the genes and gene products involved. The differing gene name acronyms from these groups included APG, AUT, CVT, GSA, PAG, PAZ, and PDD (3 and references therein). A concerted effort was made in 2003 by the scientists working in the field to unify the nomenclature for these genes, and "AuTophaGy-related" genes are now denoted by the letters ATG (3). In addition to the ATG gene names that have been assigned to S. cerevisiae proteins and their orthologs, several ATG gene names, including ATG25, ATG28, and ATG30, have been used to designate proteins in other ascomycete yeast species for which there is no identifiable equivalent in S. cerevisiae (9, 12).

The U.S. President is typically known as the world's most powerful man.
So if the world was allowed to vote, who would win?
A new poll conducted by BBC says President Obama would win by a landslide.
They surveyed more than 20,000 people in 21 countries.
It shows that an average of 50% favored the President.
Only 9% favored Romney.
France was the most pro-Obama country.
Pakistan was the only pro-Romney country.
Here at home, the race remains a virtual tie.

5 reasons the market is not in a bubble
Talk of a looming crash makes for great TV, but in reality the numbers show that investors shouldn't be so worried.
An online search for "stock market bubble" is cluttered with pundits calling for the end of the bull market.
What is interesting is that the same talking heads have been preaching the bubble talk for months, and even years, as stocks hit all-time highs.
Perma-bears will never make money in the stock market over the long term, and below are five reasons they should shut their yapping mouths about a possible stock market bubble.
1. History
An argument that is often voiced by the bears is that the market will be down in 2014 because it saw such a large gain in 2013. That may be enough to convince many investors, but in reality it is flat out untrue.
Since 1947, the S&P 500 ($INX) has averaged a 31 percent gain during its 10 best performing years. Last year the index was up 30 percent, right in line with a top-performing year.
In the year that followed each of the top 10 years, the S&P 500 was up an average of 14 percent. If 2014 were to follow the average, it would put the index at 2,106, well above where the S&P 500 is today.
2. Retail investors
This is yet another argument that the bears will say falls in their favor, but again they are simply lying to investors. A Gallup Poll shows that only 52 percent of U.S. adults were in the stock market last year. This is not only the lowest level in 15 years, but it is also well below the over-60 percent readings that occurred when the markets entered into new bear markets.
Since the start of 2008, mutual funds that invest in domestic stocks have seen outflows in 52 of the 72 months, according to Investment Company Institute. Net inflows into the category totaled $18.4 billion, versus $259 billion in 2000, when the Internet bubble burst.
Unfortunately retail investors are still on the sidelines, and until they rush into the market, a bubble will not occur.
3. Corporate profits
When investors buy into a stock, they are essentially buying into the money the company makes and is expected to generate in the future. With corporate profits at an all-time high, it could be an indication of a bubble to the bears, but in reality it shows the strength of the corporate economy. In 2013, when the naysayers were bashing corporations, the earnings for the S&P 500 rose an impressive 11 percent.
During the fourth quarter of 2013, the earnings for the S&P 500 grew by approximately 8.5 percent. This despite what the bears were calling an "ugly" holiday season.
4. Valuations
If you analyze individual stocks, sectors or the entire market, it is clear the valuations are not as attractive as they were a few years ago. That said, the market is nowhere near a level that is associated with a bubble.
An earnings estimate of $120 per share for the S&P 500 in 2014 gives the index a price-to-earnings ratio of 15.5. The current forward P/E ratio is below the 15-year average of 16.0 and slightly above the average going back to the 1870s.
The most important aspect of the number is that it is well below the mid-20 levels that have been associated with major bubbles. The average estimate is for earnings to grow by 9 percent more in 2014, leaving plenty of room on the upside for stocks.
5. Best game in town
Here is a list of options for investors.
First, a savings account that pays an interest rate that makes digging a hole in the backyard look just as attractive.
Second, lending money to the government via a Treasury bond for 10 years at an interest rate of only 2.76 percent.
Third, invest in gold and precious metals that have been in a downtrend for two years. Or look to the stock market, which is trading below its average valuation and is growing earnings.
Investors are smart enough to determine the correct answer to the question and realize that while the bubble talk makes for great TV, in reality the numbers are not there to prove we should be worried.
More from Benzinga
The fact that MSN and everybody else continues to try to convince us we're not in , or approaching a bubble should be cause for concern. Values of most issues do in fact exceed the value of the companies they represent.
To believe that they can just continue to rise day after day irrespective of their real values is ludicrous.

|Playing career
Andrew Peters (born May 5, 1980) is a retired Canadian ice hockey left winger
Playing career[edit]
Peters was drafted 34th overall by the Sabres in the 1998 NHL Entry Draft. Besides the NHL, Peters has also played for the Rochester Americans in the AHL, as well as the OHL's Oshawa Generals and Kitchener Rangers.
While on the Rochester Americans, Andrew got into an on-ice fight with his brother Geoff Peters. Andrew has stated in interviews that he did not know it was his brother that he was fighting.
For a short time, both Andrew and Geoff played for the same team (Rochester Americans). During one game, Andrew and Geoff collaborated on a goal. Andrew received an assist while Geoff was credited with the goal.[1] During his time in the AHL, Peters led the league for most penalty minutes at 388.
Peters admitted in 2005 that he had used Androstenedione earlier in his career, though there were no rules against it at the time. He stopped using it after the Food and Drug Administration banned its sale in April 2004. Peters claimed to have not taken the supplement for 3 years now.[2]
Throughout his career Peters has been known more so for his rough play than his scoring ability, having not scored a goal between the 03-04 season and February 20, 2007. Peters goal in the 03-04 season was scored on an empty net. Peters fourth, and next goal would come a little over a year later, on February 28, 2008. Less than two weeks later Peters received a one-game suspension for his altercation with New York Rangers forward Colton Orr.
On January 6, 2009, Peters was involved in an incident with Jarkko Ruutu, in which Peters shoved his glove into Ruutu's face. Ruutu then bit Peters's thumb through the glove, piercing the skin. Peters was called for unsportsmanlike conduct on the play, but Ruutu was suspended the next day for two games.
On September 12, 2009, the New Jersey Devils invited Peters to try out with the team during training camp.[3] On September 25, the Devils signed Peters to a one-way two-year contract worth the NHL's league minimum of $500,000 US.[4]
On June 30, 2010 he was placed on waivers.[5] On July 2, he was bought out by the Devils.[6] He will receive $166,667 US in compensation in each of the next 2 seasons from the New Jersey Devils. Then, on August 20, 2010 the Florida Panthers signed Peters[7] to a two-way one-year contract worth the NHL's league minimum of $500,000 US and 75,000 in the AHL.[8]
On October 6, 2010, the Panthers traded Peters to the Vancouver Canucks for Darcy Hordichuk.[9] The Canucks then immediately loaned Peters (and Nathan Paetsch, traded to the Canucks in a separate transaction) back to the Rochester Americans. On November 1, following a violation of team curfew, the Amerks suspended Paetsch and Peters, leaving Peters without a team (Paetsch was loaned to the Syracuse Crunch) as the Manitoba Moose, the Canucks' AHL affiliate, would not accept him on its roster.
On February 8, 2011, the Canucks agreed to a mutual release from his contract. While Vancouver asked that he report to the AHL's Manitoba Moose, Peters instead decided to announce his retirement from professional hockey.[10]

Home » Comics » Guilty Gear » Sol Badguy
Sol Badguy Cosplay
Sol Badguy is the main character and namesake of the Guilty Gear fighting game series. By initial appearance, he is an aloof bounty hunter and antihero who fights with an oddly rectangular sword called Fuuenken, or the Fireseal. He will rarely put much effort into his fights, a fact that angers Ky Kiske in particular. However, his brash and somewhat abrasive exterior conceals a genius and emotional depth. He has dedicated his life to the destruction of Gears, a race of magical bioweapons that plunged the world into a hundred-year war known as the Crusades. In particular, he shows a particular zeal to destroy their creator, an individual known only as "That Man".

"Two-Tone Steiny & The Cadillacs" is a high energy West Coast Blues Band performing original music. The band's most recent CD "Welcome To The Club - Featuring Kid Andersen" was voted "Best Self-Produced Blues CD" of 2010. As well, they won the Sacramento IBC Competition in 2010 and went on to Memphis to compete with bands from all over the world. Most recently, the band was nominated for a "Sammie Award" here in Sacramento. This sharp, well-rehearsed band makes it an "event" both musically and visually every time they perform their mix of gritty Chicago style harmonica driven blues and West Coast Swing.

"Fake it 'til you make it" is a pretty useful M.O. in life. Pretending to know what you're doing can carry you through job interviews, public speaking, and many other high-stress scenarios. But, this tactic shouldn't be applied to all situations. And, being interviewed by Jimmy Kimmel is a time when honesty is probably the read
Photoshop fails are the Internet black hole that just won't quit. And, despite shrieking outrage against each case of an artistically thinned model, brands just keep making the same mistakes.

PAL Express goes long-haul with Dubai service Nov 6
PALex today (Nov.6) launches its long-haul operations with an inaugural flight to Dubai, one of the world's most dynamic cities and the PAL Group's second gateway in the United Arab Emirates.
The service will operate five times weekly, with flight 2P 658 departing NAIA Terminal 2 in Manila every Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday at 1:00 p.m, arriving at the Dubai International Airport is at 6:15 p.m. (local time). Flight time is approximately eight hours, with a four - hour time difference between both cities.
The return service, flight 2P 659, departs Dubai on the same days at 7:45 p.m. and arrives at Manila's NAIA Terminal 2 at 8:15 a.m. the following day.
The brand-new Airbus A330-300, the latest model of the wide-body type, will be deployed on the route.
PAL President Ramon S. Ang said, "Our flights to and from Dubai will give our countrymen a direct, convenient link to their homeland, and allow them to experience the trademark Filipino service PAL is known for.
"We guarantee that our kababayans, as well as tourists and business people from Dubai traveling to the Philippines, will truly feel special on our flights. Aside from experiencing the brand new Airbus A330-300, they will also get to enjoy our specially-prepared inflight cuisine, including halal meals, which will be made available upon request," he added.
Dubai is the latest addition to the PAL Group's rapidly expanding route network. It comes just two days after the airline's maiden flight to London on November 4, marking PAL's historic return to Europe after 15 years, and a month after its inaugural flight to Abu Dhabi, the UAE capital, on October 1.
Together with PAL's five times weekly service to Abu Dhabi, PALex's new service to Dubai brings the PAL Group's combined weekly frequencies in the UAE's two main hubs, to 10 – the most among Philippine carriers.
Even as PALex will make history for operating its first long-range service, PAL itself is no stranger to Dubai. The flag carrier first flew to the emirate 31 years ago, on August 7, 1982. Back then, Dubai was a transit stop on PAL's Manila-to-Europe and, later, Manila-to-Saudi Arabia services.
Today, PALex will be flying to a Dubai that has become a major destination in its own right. The booming emirate – home to the world's tallest skyscraper, largest shopping mall and largest man-made island – is the undisputed financial and retail hub of the Arabian Gulf.
It also hosts 450,000 Filipino expatriates, mostly professionals, who make up the natural base market for PALex.

Any nursing home lawyer with experience has been kept busy over the last few years due to the burgeoning problems associated with the quality of care of the aging population.
Victims of nursing home negligence and their families are entitled to fair and just compensation for injuries or death caused by inappropriate care. Nursing home residents are among the most helpless and the most dependent of people within the healthcare system. They need someone to defend them.
Nursing Home Injuries
Claims against nursing homes frequently arise from falls, bed sores, dehydration or other forms of neglect. Residents are entitled to treatment with dignity and to be represented aggressively. If you or a loved one have been the victim of nursing home neglect, contact an experienced lawyer. Brien Roche has a proven track record with over 35 years of trial experience. Contact Brien today if you are looking for aggressive, competent representation in the Fairfax, Virginia area, Washington DC or Maryland.
Bed sores, also called pressure sores, are the most common problem in nursing homes. Federal regulations set standards as to how these are to be prevented and if present how they are to be dealt with so they do not get worse.

"If you want a classy invitation for a gender reveal party, this is it. It's classy, but fun! I came up with a plethora of ideas for the party, surrounding this invitation. Just think: - Chalkboard theme - pink and blue flags - having it on a Sunday - triangle banners throughout.. This invitation really helped inspired me to be creative and hopefully have a successful party! Cheers to tinyprint and the designer of this invitation."
"the most charming baby shower invitation i was able to find anywhere! thank you so much! very speedy delivery...choice of many fonts but i love the fonts that are recommended."
"This card is very beautiful and we were able to customize it which was a great plus. The colors and paper quality was great. We ended up ordering more cards because our family loved it and wanted to save the cards."
"I love that this card allowed for some extra lines of text. I changed the "baby shower" to "diaper sprinkle" and added some text at the bottom about bringing diapers instead of other more traditional baby shower gifts. Customer service was great as I had to change the time after I had already submitted my order. I called and spoke with someone who made the change for me. The representative I spoke to was very nice and helpful."
"I used these invites for my baby shower. They are so girly and classy - love them. The first time I ordered I choose the regular stock paper (at no additional cost). Which was fine. However, the second time I ordered (for the second shower) I upgraded to a thicker stock paper. I really liked the thicker paper, gave the invite a little upgrade. Either way is nice and most people wouldn't even notice, but I think the thicker paper made the invite even more classy."

ZIP Codes - Key Concepts
- ZIP Codes are categories for grouping mailing addresses and are not exact geographic regions.
- The centroid of a ZIP Code may be in one County and the associated city/town in another.
- In rural areas, a single ZIP Code may be used for cities and towns in several different Counties.
- ZIP Code "areas" can overlap, be subsets of each other, or be artificial constructs with no geographic area.
- ZIP Codes are only loosely tied to cities.
1 Keeping the above key concepts in mind, what we informally refer to as the "center" of a ZIP Code is most often actually the centroid of a polygon.

Elder Law & Medicaid Planning Advice from an Experienced Indiana Legal Team
Elder law attorneys dedicated to assisting seniors
Elder law focuses on the specific needs of our older population. Meeting with an elder law attorney in Indianapolis can help you plan your future medical care, organize your assets and plan for retirement, and help you maneuver through the bureaucracy of Medicare, Medicaid and private insurance companies. Elder law also includes the representation of nursing home patients who have suffered under negligent or abusive nursing home staff.
At Haggerty, Haggerty and Maschmeyer, we provide personalized and accessible services that help you preserve your independence, protect your assets and address the challenges exclusive to seniors.
Ensuring your right to quality care
We help you plan for long-term care needs as well as coordinate the private and public resources to finance the cost of care. Especially with the cost of nursing home care rising every year, the firm's goal is to avoid the depletion of your assets when long-term or special needs care is required.

Whether you choose to plan for your retirement or continue working, we provide comprehensive legal services that help you plan accordingly.

A Medicaid lawyer in Marion, Morgan and Johnson counties helping you receive coverage
Paying for expensive medical care on a fixed income can be a burden on families. Medicaid can ease the financial strain of obtaining quality healthcare. Unlike Medicare, which is health insurance for people over 65 or disabled persons under 65, Medicaid provides healthcare to low-income persons. To qualify for Medicaid, you must:
- Be a U.S. citizen or a qualifying alien
- Satisfy Indiana state residency
- Have a qualifying income and resource level
We can help you apply for Medicaid, including completing the complicated forms, as well as help you establish a Medicaid plan that helps you preserve your assets should you require nursing home care. We take the time to explain the complex Medicaid planning process and the tools we use to maximize your asset protection.

I think there might be spies in my building.
Spies who communicate with other spies through the placement of coffee cups left on security checkpoints.
And what makes this really odd is that there's no McDonald's even close to my work.

One minute, you're walking along making to do lists in your head and planing out the rest of your day, then suddenly you're falling down a drain and sprawling forward, unable to even get your hands up in time before your head kisses the concrete. That was my Friday.
I spent the rest of the afternoon visiting multiple doctors to assess the extent of my injuries and following up with the HR department of the company who owns the car park. Instead of tofu tacos and drinks with friends last night, I was wrapped up in my PJs on the couch icing my knee and bathing my grazes. It was where I needed to be.
But even in the middle of the maelstrom, I was thankful. I was counting my lucky stars that I didn't break any bones or suffer any greater injuries, like tearing my ACL or getting a head injury. I was thankful for the kindness of strangers like the two nurses who helped me and I remembered to thank them in the moment. And in a strange way, I am thankful that it happened to me and not people who would have been less able to weather such an experience. Under strain, I was able to practice all the things I've been working on: clarity, breathing, gratitude and mindfulness.
And today, I am feeling better. Still sore and suffering from lack of sleep (from my left side being too tender to sleep on), but okay. I have been plodding along not expecting something unexpected such as this to happen to me. It's a good reminder for all of us to expect the unexpected.
So now, I am sitting outside on the deck, a cuppa in one hand and the sun warming my face. I am thankful that I am okay in the grand scheme of things and that I can get on with life and know I am heading in the right direction.
I've been home for a few months now and thoughts on my experience living in Chicago have had time to crystallise. As they took shape, I found I was inspired to make a short film — my first solo effort — and one I call 'My Chicago'.
For me, Chicago was always a 'why not?' destination, instead of a 'YES!' destination. I stressed about the cold, the snow and the ice; wondered how people were able to go out and perform daily functions, such as commuting to work and grocery shopping in the middle of blizzards. I had little idea how I'd manage living in a climate vastly different to what I was used to, but I was willing to give it a red hot go.
Initially, I found the city abrupt and unforgiving and it appeared the feeling was mutual. But I gave it some time, and before I knew it the city grew on me. It grew on me far more than I could have every imagined. I made myself a life in yet another new city, learned to dress for (and deal with!) the cold and make new friends. I dove into the freshwater Lake Michigan, ran down the Lakefront trail and visited the animals at the free Lincoln Park Zoo only five-minute walk from my apartment. I spent nights at Kingston Mines, afternoons learning yoga, and weekends playing netball and watching baseball. I went to museums, navigated the public transport and spent countless hours wandering Lincoln Park to photograph the row houses. And after surviving the Polar Vortex, I can survive anything that's thrown my way!
I encountered wonderful people in Chicago — real, like-minded people — who were so friendly and welcoming of me. These are the kind of people who stop you on the train to tell you that you're looking good, those who say what they think and those who love a laugh. After those initial tough first weeks, it was like a giant hug from the Midwest acknowledging that it was glad I was here. I feel indebted to the great people I met at #703 and the Chicago Netball Club and who made my experience so memorable.
I cried when I left. In fact, I cried a lot. I was incredibly emotional leaving it all behind and that surprised me. Elements of Chicago had become part of me, and I'd like to think elements of myself had also been exchanged in return. That's the mark of a great city: somewhere you're sad to leave. I stand on this side of the experience and love the city as though it was my own.
The Hanovers — thank you for those initial weeks and for a wonderful Christmas sledding and eating and laughing. I miss having you guys so close!
The Williams Family – thanks again for your hospitality, the opportunities and for the loan of that phenomenal winter jacket.
To Olivia and the girls (and guys) at the Chicago Netball Club – thanks for your friendship on and off the court. It was great getting to know you all, and I hope to return soon to play another season.
To #703 – thanks for all going out of your way to make me feel a part of the team and for being so patient with my millions of questions. I enjoyed my time with you all immensely, and really miss working with each of you. And my taste in music has undergone some refinement after closing regularly — I listen to a lot more Robyn and Chvrches!
And to Kat — thank you so much for taking a gamble on me. I really made your apartment my own and was thankful for having met you. I think you'll see just how much I enjoyed my time at St James in my film.
I dream of returning to live in Chicago again, one day.
But perhaps just for the summer months …
So, without further ado, here's My Chicago:
When I was studying a few months ago, I taped a list of things I wanted to post-uni to my wardrobe door. I added to it when inspiration struck and it gave me an extra push, knowing that I could achieve all of those marvellous things once I was finished. And one of these grand plans was hiking Pigeon Mountain on the south coast of New South Wales, three hours from Sydney. My sister and I hatched a plan for Easter and cleared our schedules. Now the time had come to finally tick it off my list.
We were up at dawn, the earliest I'd seen of the AM hours in a while. My sister – a morning person – drove. The first half of the journey was filled with sleepy-headed silence and nostalgia of all the trips that had come before it. The field beside the highway where giant sunflowers used to bloom now lays sadly idle.
We passed through a town that gave way into small rural allotments, then small farms. We saw cows crossing, lawns of lavender and the beehives that produce the Pigeon Mountain honey I love. The wide open paddocks were the shades of vibrant greens after the previous month's record-breaking rains – a rare sight in a drought-prone nation. The sealed road gave way to a wide dirt surrounded by protected bushland. This marked the start of our off-roading journey.
"The first part is hardest. So we'll power through and then take a rest when we get to next section of the hike," she said as we pulled into the car park. We were in the southern section of the Morton National Park, 27km down a dirt road, and miles from civilisation. We were effectively in the middle of nowhere and it felt like it.
The rating on the trek from the National Park and Wildlife Service (NPWS) was 'hard' and suggested four hours each way for the journey of 5km. There were to be no sherpas on this expedition so I was conscious of not overpacking. I settled for some food, four litres of water, a first aid kit, a camera and a light jumper.
It was a chilly 12 degrees Celsius (53F) and the sun had not yet reached us on the south-western face of the mountain. We each put in our ear buds, and set off with little ceremony or fanfare.
The first section of the trail was steep, the track was wide. The NPWS had formed uneven steps into the terrain to assist hikers and help prevent erosion. Trees stood at arms length from each other as though they were fearful of contact. But this soon changed as we climbed higher, giving way to more dense eucalypt and ash forest and small grey boulders to scramble around.
We climbed in silence, each listening to the music that motivated us. I listened to a mix I'd made to run along the Lakeshore Trail in Chicago, so I spent the first part of the climb reliving recent memories and trying to recall the sights and sounds of my regular run. The volume on my iPod was turned way down so I could (potentially) hear the slithering of snakes on the path and the clomp of oncoming groups. Being that I was in two places at once, this section passed pretty quickly.
We emerged at a slight clearing and stopped for some water. Just off the main track was a large boulder, and so we ventured out on to it to soak in the view. We caught sight of our destination – Pigeon House Mountain – rising up before us, but it looked so far away.
We resumed our steady pace and in a few minutes came into what was definitively the second stage of the trail. It was mostly flat, scrubby bushland that ran the length of the natural ridge that led up to the next stage of the hike. In spring, this section of the track is wall-to-wall wildflowers, but in autumn, the only spot of colour came from a handful of orange grevilleas.
The scrub gives way to heath along the third section. As we climbed higher, the trees became taller and more dense, the track less sandy. This part of the trail was more of a muddy, temperate forest and it was here I was able to test out the waterproof quality of my new hiking boots.
This was my favourite part of the trail: still steep-ish and entertaining but with interesting views through the canopy. It was up here we heard the call of a lyrebird. I'd recently watched a documentary that showed the phenomenal ability of the lyrebird to imitate the call of other birds as well as human sounds (such as the click of a camera, a car alarm and a chainsaw), so it was special to be able to hear it in the wild.
At the base of the sandstone cliff face that made up the peak was a series of ladders. This was final stage of our ascent and we were making great time. An old man we passed on the trail spoke of his memories hiking Pigeon as a much younger man, when the only way to reach the peak was via a series of ropes. I'll take ladders over ropes any day!
The ladders were ice-cold to the touch (which is always preferable to red-hot) and relatively easy to manage even though we both struck our shins on them multiple times. Two of the original steel ladders are still in use today.
At the top of the ladders, we had to scramble over a few boulders to reach the summit. It was a relatively clear day and we could see as far south as Tuross and as far north as Jervis Bay. From above, the Budawang Valley looked similar to the Blue Mountains – with its wide valleys, long plateaus and colours.
We had reached the summit, but I was not as enraptured as I thought I would be. Few things are as enjoyable in the moment as they are for me in memory. But I took five minutes to commit the views and my feelings about achieving this to memory, snapped a few photos and turned for home.
The return journey was fast, comparatively, and we passed plenty of groups on their way up: young couples, old folks, families with young children, and one ultra-marathoner. When we set out, the carpark had only three other cars and over 20 when we returned. We weren't the only people with this idea over the Easter long weekend.
We made great time on the trail, too. Instead of the return journey taking us 8 hours, we managed to complete the trail in 2h16m (perhaps the NPWS were just erring on the side of caution?).
When you rely on cars or public transport every day, the simple act of using your own feet can bring a great sense of achievement. It's a great reminder for me to use my abilities to achieve bigger things, more often.
I was wandering around the Inner Sunset last June, when I stumbled upon this, a beautiful piece of art by Alphonzo Solorzano It was prominently displayed in the window of a small business just off Judah and framed by heavy, deep blue curtains.
But this moment and the visual stayed with me: 'hurdling' with a sense of urgency, a flurry of tremendous activity covering vast distances like the Pacific. I've spent countless hours searching the waves for signs, for comfort, for change. I've been in, on, under and above it. But most of all, I need to be near it. My various current 'lives' are connected by an ocean.
Whilst I see me in the physical reflection of the photo, it's the words that echo the way I live my life — bouncing between two worlds. Hurdling, if you will. Those words for me also encompass all that I experience: hurt, happiness, homesickness, alienation, joy. Hurdling with a fearlessness masking the anxiety of fear, but it's a hurdle I will always take for the adventurous spirit trumps inertia.
I'm hurdling like the ocean towards my life.

I recently came across two general philosophy books written by Akinari Tomasu (富増章成) that were published by Yosensha at least a decade ago. In each, he discussed anime, games and tokusatsu series in relation to certain philosophers and concepts.
The first book, Fantasy Philosophy Reading Book (空想哲学読本) contains the following chapters:
- Ultraman and Aristotle
- Sailor Moon and Christian philosophy
- Neon Genesis Evangelion and Rene Descartes
- Tokimeki Memorial and Immanuel Kant
- Pokemon and Georg Hegel
- Gundam and Friedrich Nietzsche
- Star of the Giants and Eastern philosophy
and here are the pairings in the second book, Fantasy Philosophy Lecture (空想哲学講義):
- Macross and Henri-Louis Bergson
- Densha de GO! and phenomenology
- Time Bokan and Martin Heidegger
- Anpanman and Jean-Paul Sartre
- Cutie Honey and logic
- Tensai Bakabon and Ludwig Wittgenstein
- Sukeban Deka 3 and Mikkyō
These sorts of pop culture philosophy books aren't uncommon in the West with a couple publishers – Open Court and Wiley – continuing to put out essay collections based around popular TV shows, films, books and musicians. I'm usually skeptical about such texts and therefore have pretty much avoided them, although I did get the ones focusing on anime and manga that Open Court published in 2010 and thought the couple of chapters from each I read were competent.
Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find much in English about Tomasu and his works so it's unlikely that I'll be able to get a sense of how he approaches explaining concepts to a general reading audience. I'd like to find out how he connects Cutie Honey and logic, for example, because it's not obvious to me as someone who's watched the original 1973 anime how someone can associate those two.
I suppose I could try to get my hands on either book and attempt to crudely translate portions to gain some understanding but I'd prefer the books to be properly translated, even if they end up being only available in a digital format.

text: Democracy In Libya 'is not a new development' Sun, 15 Jul 2012 00:00 - Sunday, 15 July 2012, 00:00 by Noel Grima The last time Dr Saadun Suayeh was in Malta, he was the Libyan ambassador when the Libyan uprising took place and his position was quite shaky. He was Gaddafi's man in Malta and his embassy was soon surrounded by protesting Libyans who wanted to remove the green flag. Then he slowly morphed: the new flag was raised, the demonstrators dispersed and he later told a newspaper that he had been playing the double agent, giving the Malta government information passed on by his pro-Gaddafi superiors. Now he was back, in his new position as Adviser to the Libyan Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, on his way back to his country from the US. And on Thursday, Dr Suayeh was speaking at AŻAD in Valletta about Libya's march to democracy. There is a YouTube clip showing an interview by an American professor with Dr Suayeh carried out in 2009 when Gaddafi was in power and Dr Suayeh spoke positively, and inevitably, about Gaddafi's version of democracy and pan-African ambitions. That is now over. On Thursday, he spoke on the history of Libya before Gaddafi's 1969 revolution, stating that democracy in Libya is 'not a new development'. In post-WW2 years, Libya was a British and French protectorate. However, the political parties that started to be formed around then always had independence in their sights. Independence came in 1951 but, foreshadowing what is happening in today's Libya, the main issues were not settled: a federal state or one state, a monarchy or a republic? The British manipulated and the main party was depleted of its supporters and its leader exiled. King Idris thus became not just a figurehead monarch but a real king who did away with political parties, after which only personal candidates were allowed to stand for elections. Into this weakened state came Gaddafi's revolution in 1969. At first, power was in the hands of a Revolutionary Council but in later years real power was in the hands of Gaddafi, his family and his cronies, even though the Green Book said all power was in the hands of the people. Libyans were deprived of any influence from surrounding countries. So although one can argue that democracy in Libya did not begin in 2011, in a different sense the biggest challenge now is to build a democracy almost from scratch, where law courts are independent, and the State has enough force to protect human rights. This means the dismantlement of the many militias that have cropped up after the fighting. Fifty thousand died in the fighting, other thousands are still missing or displaced, handicapped or wounded. As positive as he had sounded in 2009, if not more, Dr Suayeh painted an optimistic picture of present day, post-Gaddafi Libya. Last week's election, with a 60 per cent participation rate, has created the first elected parliament in Libya. The next step is a new Constitution. At first, the NTC spoke of choosing a constitutional body of 60 people, 20 from each region, to draw up a new Constitution. Recently, NTC started speaking of this body being directly elected by the people. The new Constitution has a lot of issues it must unravel: will Libya be a federal or a non-federal state? Will the President be on the US model or will the Prime Minister be the most important political leader? More important will be what rights of free speech will be enshrined, freedom of belief, rights of women, and so on. For many, the position of Islam in the Constitution will be a crucial issue. Libya is largely Islamic and all Libyans accept this. But the real issue concerns the role of Sharia in the new Constitution. Some argue that Sharia should be the source of all legislation while the more strict Islamists, the Salafis, want it to have a more absolute role. However, generally speaking, Libyans are more moderate than the Egyptians and Tunisians, Libyans are more secularists than their neighbours. The Libyan brand of Islam is Sunni, which is more moderate than the other tendencies within Islam especially the Shiites. Again, the drafters of the new Constitution will not be working in a vacuum, as they have the 1953 Constitution to work on. Libya's oil and gas resources are crucial but equally crucial are its human resources, ranging from engineers to businessmen and experts. Finally, Dr Suayeh spoke about Libya's relations with Europe. Libya is the cradle of civilization with its Phoenician, Roman and Greek past. Libya has no less than 2,000 km of sandy beaches to offer. It welcomes Foreign Direct Investment and hopes that a stable democracy will enhance its attractiveness. Libya needs all the support it can get. Malta has played a significant role in the Libyan uprising. Europe is Libya's strongest partner and Libya would dearly like to be included in the Barcelona process and hopes it will soon be admitted as a full member. The task ahead is a formidable one and now is the time for national reconciliation. During question time, Dr Suayeh's optimism was soon put to task. Former ambassador George Saliba said he is not that optimistic as the security situation in Libya is far from settled. People are afraid to go out at night and democracy without security does not generate investment. There is a need for a person or a system that ensures stability and peace but people are afraid of entrusting their future in the hands of one person or system. Perhaps elections should have been held only when the security issue had been solved. And corruption today is worse than ever. In reply, Dr Suayeh repeated the strongest challenge today is to ensure the rule of law and holding the election was a step towards ensuring the rule of law. Also, social cohesion is slowly being rebuilt. Now that a parliament has been chosen and a new government is in place, with a new Constitution within 120 days, the State's structural building blocks are slowly being put together. It will only be if, after all these efforts, the security situation remains as bad that one has to start worrying. Towards the end of the meeting, a participant announced the setting up of the Libya Foundation for Rehabilitation, a non-political, not for profit charity which aims to help Libya heal its wounds and assist in the rehabilitation and support of Libyan war victims including the injured, abused, refugees, traumatized children, political prisoners, demobilized fighters and unemployed.

I guess it is human nature to deny the truth about something that you care about. However its amazing to me how they have been able to treat so many people so shodilly
for so long.

When we first started hanging out with our current group of friends, they used to have a weekly wing night. We joined them a few times but our food/ entertainment budget didn't support the weekly frequency of these outings and we had to opt out most of the time. Two of the friends then began having job stability issues and soon the weekly wing night came up on the chopping block.
After a bit of brainstorming, (and a home purchase by the 'main' couple of the group) weekly wing night became Tuesday barbecue nights- and they're way better than weekly wing nights ever were! Each Tuesday, the host sends around a text to everyone reminding them that we're having dinner that night and lets everyone know what the main dish will be. We all text back whether or not we will be attending and what we will be bringing to accompany the main dish.
The potluck started out as a barbecue and most often my husband would bring a marinated pork tenderloin to be barbecued up and the rest of us would bring veggies or bread or salad sides to go along. Over the winter, the barbecue idea fell out of favour and we moved towards chilis and other slow cooker meals.
This is one of the best social engagements that we attend. I love that we know that it is happening every single week. There's no question, if it's Tuesday we will be there. I love that we can go as fancy or simple as we want. If we've had time to bake a fancy dessert, that's awesome, but if not there's no shame in stopping at the grocery store and grabbing some garlic bread and potato salad on the way over. There's no hassle in bringing our baby. There's a bedroom I can nurse him in and a bed for him to sleep in if need be. The boys drink beer and the girls gab it up (we get to be the DDs) at our leisure, no waitresses asking how we're doing all the time waiting for us to leave so they can put someone else at our table.
The best of all is that for $5-10 we get to eat a (usually awesome) meal with our friends with a variety of food that we didn't have to make (or think up) ourselves! The potluck truly is the best of 'dining out'!

There are a myriad of video chat clients available for both the Mac and PC, but none boast the same audio and video quality as Skype. Don't believe us? Compare for yourself with iChat and you'll see what we're talking about. Skype uses something called P2P technology, which allows them to achieve not only higher quality audio and video, but less interruptions and lag in service. If you don't know, P2p tech uses a tiny bit of bandwidth from anyone running the app to make calls. But the bandwidth used is so minute, anyone running the Skype app is nonethewiser.
However, there is a problem: finding your friends on Skype. Traditionally speaking you had to know their login name or email address to locate them. Alternatively, you could enter their full name, but that's assuming they've registered it correctly and made themselves available. But you can forget about all those hurdles, because Skype is now Facebook integrated. That means you can connect the Skype app with your Facebook account and see all your friends that are available on Skype.
Once you downloaded, installed the app and connected it to your Facebook account, you'll be able to chat directly with friends on Facebook from the Skype app. You can also see your Facebook wall, update your status, like or comment on a friend's status and of course call their mobile or landlines phones, provided they're listed on Facebook.
To begin using these features head here and download Skype 5.4, which mind you is in Beta, so expect some changes in the near future and perhaps some minor bugs.

Henryk Górecki
Biography(born: Czernica, 6 Dec 1933)
Polish composer. He studied with Szabelski at the Katowice Conservatory (1955-60) and with Messiaen in Paris. His music has connections with Penderecki, but its deepest affinities are with ancient Polish religious music, and it often shows a saintly simplicity. Most of his works are for orchestra or chamber ensemble; they include the chamber trilogy Genesis (1963) and three symphonies, the third of which achieved striking public success in the early 1990s.
