Vietnam is famous for its diverse cuisine and culture and each region has its own seductive signature dishes.
Vietnam's Pho and Goi cuon (fresh spring rolls) have been named in the list of the best 30 dishes of the world under a survey by CNN.

Cathy Campbell is a local activist in the Fremont County area. She splits her time between the Canon City area and her childhood home in Alabama. Cathy is a great resource of information, connections and friendship.
How how long have you been lived here (Canon City) ? What brought you here? I have been here off and on since 1992
What activities do you enjoy around SoCo? Golfing. My husband likes fishing, golfing, and hunting.
Where is the one place you take visitors when they visit, why?
I take them on the roads around here like Phantom Canyon to Victor, up to Hermit Lake, Skyline Drive.
What is your favorite thing about living here? People
Do you think SoCo is a good place to (live, work, start a business, play) tell me why and more about that:
Canon City needs to become more big business friendly, since we are a community of service industries it would be helpful to have someone to service. They need to limit large retail and encourage more IT, manufacturing and more global service industries like call centers. There is no reason we could use the population we have now with empty building and re-structure them to take the jobs from India and the Phillipines. With the rising cost of living in those countries and American's lack of patience, now would be the time to market to those industries. Our greatest asset is the Coloradoans nuetrality of a regional dilect. On average we do not have the sterotypical Southern or Northern accents that turns off most users of a customer service industry.
We need more manufacturing and technology industries and to compliment our vast number of prisons. I think we could attract businesses like call centers, manufacturing, and IT development shops. Qwest needs to open up the large amount of network that travels the Hwy 50 corridor that ICG and other communication companies installed during the telecom boom of the late 1990's.
If people want to contact you what is the best way to do that? firstname.lastname@example.com

You've heard it before – nothing good happens without hard work. Maybe this seems obvious, but with everything going on in our lives, it can sometimes be easy to forget.
As lovely as it would be to just wish something would come true, only to find that it does, it's not a common occurrence. As unfortunate as it is, there are no magical lamps that we can rub in order for a genie to grant us our hopes and dreams. We need to work hard.
Working hard does not mean rushing ourselves. Striving to accomplish our goals does not mean leaping into facing our fears head first. We can take our time and take small, beneficial steps that we choose and that we are comfortable with. All we need in order to succeed is to channel our strength and determination. From there, we will reap amazing rewards!

REALE bag Featured Artist
The next instalment of artist series bags is Sydney artist Sindy Sin. We let him loose on our Reale bag and man wow what a killer design.
Sindy Sinn
My artwork style comes from a lifelong obsession with cartoons, crap-jokes and storytelling. As a kid, I frothed over the artwork in Mad Magazines and old Nickelodeon cartoons like Ren & Stimpy … and as an adult, not much has changed, except I don't have a bedtime anymore. I've worked incredibly hard and feel incredibly privileged to have turned illustration into such a fun and rewarding career.
I find inspiration all over the place, from watching old movies to wondering what's in someone's lunchbox. Inspiration isn't very hard to find if you open your eyes and look for it. Which I think the internet has been great for, these days you can scroll through thousands of killer artists and artworks while sipping your morning coffee. But I reckon Robert Crumb, Coop and Karl Kaufmann are my biggest influences right now.
Besides drawing and illustrating … I'm a drummer, currently playing in a super-fun groovy blues band called The Persian Drugs. It's the ultimate excuse to get out of the house and sweat it out with your mates over a few beers. I've been playing in bands for about ten years now, so my calluses have never really had a chance to heal.
I also have a love of beers, burritos and boobs… basically just anything that starts with a B.
My design for Ducale's 'Reale' blend, came about fairly naturally. I liked the idea of 'keeping it reale' and giving it some underdog fighting-spirit. So I just treated the Reale design like it was a gang. I started by rewatching the 1979 movie, The Warriors, and combining it's funky style with my own and my weird infatuation with denim.
I've usually got a pretty steady playlist of Black Sabbath and Rolling Stones cranked while working. But lately, I've been listening to lots of Seasick Steve, Left Lane Cruiser and The Heavy. I'm generally not too picky… anything with some guts and a decent stomp will get my attention.
I always have a pretty fully plate and I'm very fortunate to be involved in lots of exciting projects. At the moment I'm doing a tonne of burger illustrations and branding for Mary's Newtown, some beer labels and my usual stream of rock n roll gig posters. I welcome any bands or brands that want to do something weird and crazy to get in touch … let's make f**king cool art together.

Once a year, these lovely ladies come over from St. Petersburg to turn Shriners Hospitals for Children — Tampa into an 18-hole mini-golf course. Golfers are able to enjoy the event no matter what the weather, as the course is setup inside the climate-controlled hospital. So despite the misty weather the Tampa area experienced on June 4, event participants stayed dry while navigating our hallways and raising money for our mission.
Although the final totals for this year's fundraiser have not yet been announced, the ladies of Tahuti Court No. 44 are confident their efforts "brought in the bucks." That is because this year's event not only had a record number of registered golfers, but also the most sponsors it has had since the event's inception.
Thanks to all those who came out and played for our kids. And, another big thank you to Ruth Szemer, Carol Sue Roberts, the ladies of LOSNA Tahuti Court No. 44 and all the hardworking volunteers who helped bring this event to fruition. We can't wait until next year!

Ice queen Amy Williams sets highest standards
Amy Williams said it would be just another day at the office, but she blew away the opposition at the Whistler Sliding Centre this morning to spark the mother of all office parties and become Great Britain's first solo Winter Olympic champion since Robin Cousins in 1980.
It was a wonderfully authoritative victory as the 27-year-old set a track record for the second day running and gave Mellisa Hollingsworth, the former Alberta rancher and pre-race favourite, no chance of adding to the bronze medal she won behind Shelley Rudman, of Great Britain, four years ago in Turin.
The final run of 54.00sec was enough to give her a 0.56second victory margin and saw her join an elite group of British gold medalwinners. Hollingsworth dropped to…

There's so many things you can do with these! Paint them, cover with paper, etc. They work as water splashes for those pool and bathtime layouts, they could be stems for silk blooms, they make a nice frame for any photo, or you could turn them into virtually ANYTHING! Your imagination and creativity is the limit! They add dimension to your page, while giving it a nice finish. Plus you get 3 12x12 sheets!
I absolutely love these chipboard pieces. You can do anything with them. I prefer to paint them because of how easy it is. The come out very easy without ripping. Many different kinds of shapes in this package, which means you can use them for many different kinds of layouts. I just wish there was at least one more page for the amount of money you pay.
Fancy Pants is one of my absolute FAVORITE manufacturers and this amazing collection of swirls shows why. It's not just a collection of swirls only, but hearts, paisleys, and so on. The chipboard is thick and easy to work with. I have used paint on it, rub ons, patterned paper and cardstock. It holds adhesive well, and always turns out beautiful.
I was so glad to find these chipboard Soho Swirls at Scrapbook.com. Thanks for the help of a local scrapbook designer, I've created a two page layout using two of the large swirls. I colored the swirls with Colorbox pigment ink eye pads and was pleased how nicely the smooth texture of the chipboard took the ink.
I've found that I use these embellishments on almost every wedding layout I have done! These are great. I usually paint them, but there are many other ways to make these look fantastic! I love the size of the swirls--they just make the page "pop"! And they're very sturdy too--no tearing like diecuts!

Electro Harmonix The Silencer
Electro Harmonix The Silencer Noise Gate/Effects Loop
Electro-Harmonix has added a Silencer to its arsenal. Mike Matthews and company have come together to create an all-in one noise gate that will rid pedalboards everywhere of detestable noise.
A boon for high-gain players, the Silencer can function as both an effects loop and a regular noise gate. Two input and two output jacks are utilized to make this possible: the bottom in and out are used just like a regular noise gate—place it in-line with other effects to knock noise out. The top two jacks are used to place an entire group of noisy pedals in the path of the gate. This helps if players have a whole string of high gain effects; the Silencer will perform as its name implies.
Unlike some other gates, the Silencer employs three knobs: Thresh[old], Release and Reduction. Thresh sets the threshold of the gate, or, how much level is needed to open the noise gate. Release time controls how fast the gate shuts, from eight milliseconds to a whopping four seconds.Reduction changes the degree to which the signal is reduced, from a huge -70dB to +4dB.
Electro Harmonix The Silencer Noise Gate/Effects Loop Features:
- Use as a simple noise gate or an effects loop
- Eliminates noise from high-gain pedalboards
- Three controls for ultra fine tuning
- Buffered bypass leaves Silencer in signal path even when off
- Standard 9v center-negative power operation

April, this year. After a long winter, days had started to get slightly warmer (not warm yet, but warmer) and longer, and some birds had returned from the south. It had been quite a long time I hadn't been to my favourite place in Helsinki, so I decided to visit it again.
Tag Archives: finland
Kusama at HAM
HAM, like Helsinki Art Museum. Sorry, we're not going to talk about food 😉
Tennispalatsi hosted a retrospective exhibition on Yayoi Kusama, "one of the most famous artists in the world", though I had never heard about her. We visited the museum on New Year's Eve (after Finlandia-talo), as it was free during the evening. Before going upstairs. to the bigger hall, we got introdued to Kusama's life by a slideshow presenting the most important events of her life.
White wings of Hanko
Hanko, a small and isolated town, is located at the southernmost point of mainland Finland. When we told our colleagues that we would go there in winter, Miguel and I saw bemused expressions on their faces: "Hanko, now?", "There nothing to do in Hanko in winter"… Not something to scare us, of course. I'm quite amused when I do something people wouldn't even consider, even more so when I enjoy it!
Miguel had downloaded an app for geocaching, so immediately after leaving the train, we began our quest, and found a capsule in a tree, where we wrote our names. Alas, after finding a second one next to the water tower, our other targets remained invisible. Now, though, we can say we have done geocaching.
Details of Finlandia-talo
Finlandia-talo (Finlandia Hall) is a prominent landmark in Helsinki city, Alvar Aalto's last masterpiece, and the center of an ambitious urban plan never implemented.
2017 will see Finland celebrate its 100th birthday, and to start the year, many events were organized in Helsinki on New Year's Eve. Among those, one looked particularly appealing: a free visit to Finlandia-talo, a congress and event venue designed by the maestro himself: Alvar Aalto, maybe the most famous Finn in history. I didn't know that visits were organized regularly, so it seemed like a unique opportunity, and I was really happy when the woman at the desk added a line for me, even though the visitor list was supposed to be already full. I'm not going to give you a historical overview of the building; instead, I'll show some visual details and tell some anecdotes that our friendly guide showed us.
Colors of winter
When people think about the Finnish winter, their first thought usually is: "snow". And then, when they get to know the country a little bit more, especially the south of it, they think: "grey". Yes, snow but not enough to cover everything, and then it melts quickly, creating this depressing pools of slush stirred by the passage of cars and buses. Not to mention the clouds.
I totally understand this feeling: I love snow, I love to see it fall and hide the roads, and attenuate all the sounds. I love the sight of a city wrapped in a blanket of peace, and I always get distressed when temperatures rise again. When snow stops falling, I hate to see those endless, boring grey skies, and I start dreaming about sunny days. Or more snow. Usually I dream about a return of the snow.
When I went to Kontiolahti to view the Biathlon World Championship, I saw a wonderful sunset over the frozen lake, and it was a revelation: there is beauty out there, waiting for me!
Over a year ago, I was with my brother, on a trip that took us from Grenoble to Grenoble, via Helsinki and Copenhagen, and got us memories for a lifetime, when we stopped at Bomarsund. Located on the eastern shore of Åland's main island, at first sight it's an impressive ruin crossed by a road… yes, the road runs through the fortress, so you can't really miss it.
From sunrise to sunset by -20°C, part 1
Mr. Winter this year is lunatic and, to be honest, rather frustrating: one day it snows (a lot), and you start believing in the possibility to go skiing, finally… except that the day after, the temperature rises above 0°C, and everything melts. Everything? No, some parks and sidewalks resist eternally against the pervading warmth, but trees are bare again, and streets are slushy brown. It's not fun.
Kaisa Talo in black & white
Kaisa Talo is the Helsinki University Main Library. Located in the city center, inches from the Senate Square, it was opened in 2012, taking the spot of the shopping center Kaisa. The buiding houses the collection of the Faculties of Arts, Law, Theology, Behavioural and Social Sciences. It's a relaxing place with an original architecture. Like any real library, it's fairly silent… it looked like a pleasant place to study, and a friend of mine confirmed that.
On one side of the building, there's this large U-shaped window, with balconies facing it from each floor, a bit like an old theater room. In the shot below, I tried to include both the street outside, with the tram tracks and the zebra crossings, and the students at the balconies, oblivious to the world rumbling outside their cage of glass and metal.
Composition was made tricky by my limited range; I wish I had a shorter focal length available for indoor shots, but for now, I do with what I have. The window let in a lot of light, so I didn't have to use extreme settings for shutter speed and ISO, but I wish I had overexposed a bit, for I lack details in the dark areas, and bringing them up creates a lot of undesired noise (I shot in Aperture Priority mode).
Sibelius and squirrels
In Helsinki, not far from the city center, lies a park that harbors a strange monument. Sibeliuksen monumentti (Sibelius's monument) consists of a disorderly arrangement of metallic pipes, mimicking those of an organ, resting on pillars that hold the massive sculpture above the ground.
Happy birthday Finland!
Today, on Independence Day (Itsenäisyyspäivä), Finland celebrates its 99th birthday!
Sweden started to colonize Finland in the 12th and 13th centuries, and until the beginning of the 19th century, Swedish was the official language of the country. From this era, Finland kept Swedish as its second official language, and 5% of the population still speaks Swedish natively. Under the Swedish rule, Finns suffered from the many wars Sweden and Russia waged on their territory, and a "spirit of Finnishness" started to grow. "We are not Swedes, we do not want to become Russians, let us therefore be Finns", Adolf Ivar Arwidsson (1791–1858) said.

Blonde Salon & Spa
Blonde Salon & Spa hardly limits its clients to those with flaxen hair. In fact, owner Desiree Maples is a color specialist—she treats tresses to all-over color, foil highlights, and the hand-painted balayage technique. Her other hair services range from simple trims to keratin smoothing treatments, as well as wedding-ready updos. And she sports a second title: makeup artist.
The salon's menu continues on to cover spray tans, mani-pedis, and waxing. Once it gets to the spa side, relaxation joins forces with cosmetics during anti-wrinkle facials and glycolic-acid peels.

Kitchen Remodeling: Questions to Ask Remodeling your kitchen is a big decision which you can not handle alone and will probably need some sound advice from experts. Questions that you need and want to have answered may include but are not limited to: How much will it be to remodel a kitchen?
Case Study: My Experience With Services
Will I be able to regain all of the money I spent for the kitchen remodeling if I put my house up in the market?
Lessons Learned from Years with Remodels
Can I redo the layout of my kitchen? The answers to these queries will allow you to decide if, first, you should remodel your kitchen, and second, how you should be remodeling your kitchen. Answers to any of your specific questions will be provided by any kitchen design center that will have experts on hand. In the decision making process of remodeling your kitchen, it is worth your time to consult a specialist early on. Nevertheless, below are some common answers to the questions above. Depending on the extent of the remodel, the cost of a kitchen remodeling job can vary widely. By doing some of the work yourself, you can potentially reduce the cost of your kitchen remodeling job, but you would want the overall product to look professional and it is usually best to leave this job to the professionals unless you are an expert since you are already spending a huge amount of money on this kind of project. The common consensus is that you will be able to take back around 90 percent of the total money that you have spent on remodeling your kitchen. It should also be a factor any time you decide to remodel your kitchen even though this may be a significant factor if you are planning to sell your house. Kitchen remodeling will also be able to give you a great return in being satisfied and pleasured from the fact that you will be getting to live on a house with a new kitchen. This should be a factor considered importantly in making a decision regarding whether or not should you remodel your kitchen. Any layout for a kitchen can be remodeled, the main question you should be asking is: How much will you have to spend in order to make the changes? If your house more than 20 to 30 years old, you should consider changing the layout of your kitchen because the kitchen functions and prominence have changed over the years; or if you find the layout needs to be improved in the house that you have been living on for a while. This is the moment where a professional kitchen designer will be able to help you with your decisions. A skilled kitchen designer will be able to walk you through the process of kitchen remodeling, take your ideas and give them substance, and give you options that you may have never considered.

The Board of Aldermen have finally decided to take actual steps towards the beginning of the North-South MetroLink line. A Board Bill up for vote soon (BB#227) will put the choice to voters: it offers to place on the ballot the option for a one-half-percent sales tax, which would give approximately $20 Million per year to the city. That would be split as so:
|% of Proceeds
|Projected 2018 Allocation
|Neighborhood Revitalization
|Workforce Development
|Public Safety
If we are going to make such a significant investment in MetroLink, and do it through the use of a sales tax (a regressive type of tax: one which has been shown to frequently worsen economic inequality), we must make sure that the tax money is spent in ways that will serve the poor, and since economic inequality in St. Louis has a strong basis in racial inequality, the North-South MetroLink should especially focus on serving black communities.
If built, the expansion would affect the city in several important ways, but one measurable way to help us to decide whether the expansion will help low-income communities, is to look at its impact on commute times. Commute time has been suggested as the single strongest factor in escaping poverty , and a 2016 study by Quinn Majeski at the Evans School further specified that effect, to the extent that "a one minute [decrease]* in commute time is a one percent decrease in the likelihood that an individual is receiving public assistance," and as receiving public assistance is one statistical indicator of poverty, a lower commute time is likely to help directly reduce poverty.
If the proposed stations serve communities that currently have long commutes, then there's a good chance that a frequent light-rail line will (at the very least) make commutes for those living near the station easier and faster.
Do we see that in the results?
It appears so. By calculating the people within a half-mile-radius of the proposed stations (using the Census Bureau's 2015 approximations by census block), we can look at the breakdown. We see first of all, that these MetroLink stations are targeting several parts of the city that are much denser than the areas currently served by MetroLink. In particular, the segment along South Jefferson is nearly entirely in denser communities than the areas surrounding current MetroLink stations in St. Louis City. Many of the areas also have an already high share of transit-users compared to car-using commuters, and that seems unlikely to decrease as accessibility improves. This means it seems likely to reduce commute times for the many residents already using transit around these proposed stations
We also see that the stations serve a large proportion of black St. Louisans: the population within a half-mile of the proposed Kingshighway station (at North Kingshighway and Natural Bridge) is almost 100% black. Since these are the same stations with some of the highest commute times in the city, reducing commute time should directly combat racial income inequality. It's impossible to know for sure (it might be possible, for example, that North-South would not help anyone, since it turns out that everyone in North City commutes to North County, and everyone in South City to South County. I find it rather improbable that this is the case.) but we can say with some confidence it is quite likely to improve commute times, and hopefully have some effect of alleviating poverty, at least near the stations.
On a basic logistical level, the expansion will also likely help many of the area's transit commuters who, we can see in the below comparison, generally tend to face longer commutes than car-users. Frequent and fast transit service to dense North City and South City neighborhoods will provide many residents who work Downtown (or elsewhere along MetroLink) the option to commute more often. This will, in turn, reduce the need to own a vehicle in St. Louis (often preferable to very long transit commute times, but problematic for those struggling to make ends meet, as owning a vehicle can cost twice as much as using transit, often reaching over 20% of commuters' incomes).
On top of that, transportation investment has also been shown to attract new residents, an important step if St. Louis is to stymie its continued population decline (notable especially in the areas North-South MetroLink will serve).
The transit portion of the proposal, it seems, is a good step forward. The other aspects are still up for debate (particularly funds directed towards SLMPD's "real-time intelligence [surveillance] center," which would likely target people of color disproportionately), but it's safe to say the North-South Line specifically will likely be a net positive for the city. And while there are many ways in which we might improve transit in St. Louis (and for less money, too, e.g. through more frequent bus service or bus rapid transit), other efforts have not gotten off the ground. Support for MetroLink expansion, on the other hand, seems to be widespread: every citizen who spoke at a recent public meeting on the tax seemed in favor of transit expansion. And, as we've seen above, it seems quite possible that it will provide new and improved transit service to many residents whose transit commutes are currently a burden, and may serve to reduce racial and economic disparity.
So if it takes St. Louisans being excited about the "sexier" option of light rail, we should harness that excitement: it needs to get done.
You can read Board Bill #227 for yourself here.
* The original word here in the quote was actually "increase," so, oddly enough, I have reversed the meaning of the direct quote from Mr. Majeski. However, every other reference to commute times and poverty, including in the "Discussion" and "Conclusions" sections of the paper, ascribe shorter commute times to lower poverty (which Majeski measures by the size of individuals receiving public assistance). I believe that this is a typo, and appreciate his study greatly, but if I am mistaken, I am happy to correct this.

Man presumed Dead After Bear Attack, Buried Alive, Wakes Up...
A man was presumed dead after a bear attack, buried alive, woke up, and then walked 200 miles in the wilderness to civilization!
His name was Hugh Glass and his story is one of the most incredible ever told. Glass was an American fur trapper relatively well known during his life for exploring the West. In 1822, Glass responded to an advertisement to "ascend the river Missouri," with a fur trading company. In August of 1823, while still on the trip, Glass was scouting alone and chanced upon a grizzly bear with two cubs. Before he could ready his weapon, he was attacked and badly mauled. Before going unconscious, he fought back and stabbed the bear several times, eventually killing it.
When his friends arrived on the scene, they found him unconscious next to a massive dead grizzly bear and assumed he was dead. Two of his friends were in the process of burying him when Arikaree Indians attacked and were forced to flee. Glass soon regained consciousness, finding himself completely alone in the wild with no weapons or equipment. With a broken leg, numerous cuts, and bare ribs showing, Glass set his own leg and wrapped himself in the pelt of the bear he had just killed to begin his trek back to Fort Kiowa over 200 miles away!
Eating mostly wild berries and roots, he allowed maggots to eat the dead flesh on his leg to prevent gangrene. Eventually he reached the Fort and established himself as one of the most famous and skilled frontiersmen in American history.

Hey there,
Currently in the process of making my choices.
Originally planned to study Biochemistry but was looking at the content of Pharmacology and was pleased to see Edinburgh run units related to neuroscience. My interests lie in the overlap between Biochemistry, Pharmacology and Neuroscience so overall the course covers lots of topics that really interest me so was planning on applying.
I try to take the university rankings with a pinch of salt but Edinburgh really doesn't seem to score well for Pharmacology and Pharmacy. On the complete university guide rankings they are 34th with a pretty low graduate prospect (59). To put into perspective I'm also applying to Cardiff University for Medical Pharmacology (also looks really interesting) and that comes in at 4th without having much higher entry standards.
Just wondering if anyone knows how reputable the Edinburugh course is?
Even more elitist than everyone thought?

MIT Sloan Research Paper No. 4574-06
CISL Working Paper No. 2006-02
13 Pages Posted: 20 Jan 2006
Date Written: January 2006
The potential loss of state stability in various parts of the world is a source of threat to U.S. national security. Every case is unique, but there are common processes. Accordingly, we develop a system dynamics model of state stability by representing the nature and dynamics of 'loads' generated by insurgency activities, on the one hand, and by articulating the core features of state resilience and its 'capacity' to withstand these 'loads', on the other. The problem is to determine and 'predict' when threats to stability override the resilience of the state and, more important, to anticipate propensities for 'tipping points', namely conditions under which small changes in anti-regime activity can generate major disruptions. On this basis, we then identify appropriate actionable mitigation factors to decrease the likelihood of 'tipping' and enhance prospects for stability.
