Colombian Women Have No Equal
Grisales is Instagram's Colombian Bomba.
Sport fans' favorite Erin Andrews has competition for most beautiful sports personality in the world. And it's from south of the border. Meet Mirella Grisales. She's a model, television host, mother, and actress. Also, she's one of the most popular futbol personalities across the globe. Grisales is naturally beautiful, but more importantly, she is a 'parce.' For our readers who aren't Latino, parce is Colombian slang for friend or mate. That's right, Mirella is Colombian, just like the head writer of FTS. So we are a huge fan. Let's get to know her a little better.
Made Telemundo Muy Caliente.
Grisales was a co-host on Telemundo's very popular late night talk show Titulares Y Mas for nine years (2007-16.) Don't worry about the language barrier. Her charisma, appeal and hotness is universal.
Our 'sista from another mista' was born in 1979 in Colombia and currently resides in Miami, Florida. For some reason, NFL players couldn't get enough of her when she covered Media Day at the Super Bowl in 2013. Grisales has another claim to fame. She is a WAG, a wife or girlfriend of a footballer. From 2007-08, Grisales dated multi-time balon d'or winner, Cristiano Ronaldo. That lucky bastard.
Yet, if any man were going to be as attractive as Grisales, Cristiano might come close. Here's hoping Grisales is currently single and wouldn't mind a fan sliding into her DMs on Instagram and Twitter.

Diego Jacobson "Everything is Perfect: The Small Works"
March 5th through March 26, 2011. Opening Reception March 11th, 2011 at 7 p.m.
Icosahedron Gallery is pleased to present "Everything is Perfect: The Small Works" by Diego Jacobson. Diego Jacobson was born in Argentina and raised in both New York and Puerto Rico. A self-taught painter, Jacobson includes text and borders representation in his energetic, abstract works. "Everything is Perfect: The Small Works" features eight small acrylic paintings and one larger work, "Everything is Perfect."
Jacobson paints wet on wet directly onto his canvases. The quick gestures of Jacobson's hand is visible in the drips, splats and smears composing his work. Using a palette knife as often as his brush, Jacobson draws scraffito into the thick, impasto paint. The exhibition's title work "Everything is Perfect," features the title text among a painterly field of blues, purples and pinks evoking a rosy sun breaking through rain-heavy clouds. The works in this series have a bright, upbeat palette fitting to spring. Personifying nature's liveliness in "Japanese Meadow Blossom," Jacobson's marks thrust up to the sky with the energy of an emerging sprout. Though primarily an abstractionist, Jacobson occasionally includes carefully chosen recognizable imagery. With positivity and empowerment, Jacobson repeats a roughly-drawn crown symbol in paintings "Would Be King" and "Magic Dragon."
Pre-order Diego Jacobson's new 200 page book "Everything Is Perfect: The Art and Philosophy of Diego Jacobson." Book includes 160 color plates; essays on Jacobson by Dawn-Michelle Baude and Dalia Caravaggi; and artist interviews with Mike Fitelson and Art Interview Magazine.

Brakin: Brazzaville–Kinshasa
Open source city-planning though complete lack of "top down" control
I would argue that an "open source" methodology takes place in the cities of Brazzaville and Kinshasa. They are separated by a the Congo river and are national capitals of their countries, Congo and Democratic Republic of Congo. Although the Congo river is a national border there is virtually no barrier between the countries. Individuals travel between the cities and carve out their own space as they see fit. This is certainly not a trophy case of open source planning, but an interesting on nonetheless. A group of Jan van Eyck researchers studied the city and complied their work in a book called "Brakin" a mashup of the two cities names. The book includes several photo-essays and writings breaking down the city using unconventional methods that are often more telling what a census or other "standard" system could. But a census is out of the question because the city/cities are in constant flux many places have no official roads and hence no addresses. The majority of the population lives in "in between" spaces they appropriate on either a temporary or permanent basis.
For open sourcing to work on any scale, that of the city or that of the computer program, there must be some driving logic that solidifies the common goal.

Will I have to take back what I said about my favorite driver in the retirement post? It's become obvious that Bill Elliott's plans to retire as a part time driver for Ray Evernham have gone by the wayside, as he has all-but killed any plans to race with them. It's disappointing, but short of sharing a ride, I don't see how that deal was going to work anyways. Still, I'm surprised they didn't just set up a Busch deal or something. The truth is that Evernham owes Elliott - Without a veteran driver to give his organization the expertise needed, let alone those first crucial wins, he wouldn't be where he is today.
Since things didn't work out that way, Elliott's been helping struggling teams and developping teams as a part time driver. It's a little disconcerting to see him in a chevy, but a chevy is better than nothing. He helped MB2 in the Daytona 500 earlier, and he was in the last two Nextel Cup races for Michael Waltrip's team, helping them prepare for their supposed breakout season with Toyota next year.
Obviously, I wasn't expecting Elliott to do well in these races. Racing with a new team is always rough, especially a part time one. But when the top car on your team is struggling to make the top-20, the half-assed deal isn't going to be faring so well. Elliott's acknowledged this in interviews, yet now is the time he let it be known he wouldn't be opposed to coming out of retirement for a full season "if the right deal came along."
Very interesting.
Is Elliott just disatisfied with his legacy? He obviously doesn't need to prove anything with a comeback. He did that with the Dodge 9. Hell, the last fulltime race he participated in, he dominated.
Or perhaps he sees something about Waltrip's team or Toyota in general that he wants to be a part of it.
As a fan, I of course want to see him come back and give them hell. Just the amusing repercussions of him coming back at age 50 (and if successful) winning would totally shakeup the situation with the other recent retirees. It was his part time move at the end of 2003 that started a trend, maybe he'll spark a veteran resurgance. Or it could be one huge painful disaster. Guess it all depends on if the right deal comes along.
If he winds up with Team RedBull next year, it could give that Toyota team the credit it needs with old school fans to be accepted. Waltrip already has Jarret signed for that position on his team. Elliott would make the perfect "wiley veteran" to Brian Vicker's (relative) inexperience. The only problem I see with that is that even with Dodge, it took Elliott until the last race of his premiere season with them to get to victory lane. Joining Team Redbull would most certainly require a commitment of more than just a season, and unless he's been bored lately, the ex champ might not be for such a contract when he's been on the move to retirement.
One thing's for certain though. It would give me more of an excuse to drink more Redbull and vodkas.

This is a special Rants AND Raves post. Working in an open office environment has some major advantages and can create some minor issues. Overall, working elbow to elbow with your coworkers is fun and makes for some big laughs and brilliant brainstorming sessions.
Here are some ups and downs about open concept offices that we've experienced. We bet they'll sound familiar to everyone else with this groovy office design.
- Saying hi to everyone at once first thing in the morning, then discussing the various outfits sported by the team before getting down to work.
- Furry little friends brightening our day. Our office mascots, Angel and Brooklyn, can visit everyone in the open layout for a lil' scratch behind the ears.
- Team brainstorms and problem-solving, in an instant.
- Spontaneous dance parties that erupt when we're stressed.
- Being able to sneakily roll your eyes at someone across the room, without anyone else noticing.
- Not being able to sneak in five minutes late without anyone noticing.
- Hearing the same Katy Perry song on the local radio station 15 times a day.
- Smelling the spicy chili that someone ate for lunch, for the rest of the afternoon.
- Five publicists on five phone calls with five important clients = noisy.
Solutions to the above:
- Don't be late! Open concept or not, it's not a good impression to make with your boss or team, or a great way to start your day.
- Personalize your tunes for the day with an online, build-it-yourself radio station. We like Grooveshark and The Hype Machine. Use earphones.
- Bring spicy chili for everyone! That way, no one can complain about the lingering odour (they'll be too busy trying to keep awake after their delicious hot lunch). Or, invest in some yummy smelling candles to light after lunch is finished.
- We've worked out an office dog schedule – more low-key days (like Friday) have Angel and Brooklyn, while high-stress days are dog-free (like during TIFF).
- Installing sound barriers between stations helps with phone call noise. Also, we've found that discussing schedules can help. Knowing that your coworker is on an important call at 1p.m. can mean that you schedule yours for later that afternoon.
Open offices mean that you must be much more considerate of your fellow desk jockeys. The upside? A work environment that's a lot more fun for everyone!
What are your recommendations for a smooth and easy open office work environment?

DVO Podcast: Remakes and Reboots.
We discuss Hollywood's reliance on remakes and reboots, and what it takes to make a good one.
March was a big month for remakes and reboots. Between Death Wish, Tomb Raider, and A Wrinkle in Time (which was Disney's second attempt since 2000 to turn Madeline L'Engles childhood fantasy novel into a feature film) many high-profile second efforts hit the cinemas. While they won't be the last such films in 2018, we thought it was a good time to look at some famous and infamous remakes to hash out what goes into a successful remake. Along the way we discus some of our favorites in this category, as well as handful of awful films that should have left the source material alone.
Below we have a brief summary of the topics and when we discuss them, as well as some links to relevant articles we've posted in the past.
DVO Podcast: Remakes and Reboots.
Time Stamps:
1:00 – Recent Remakes.
4:20 – The difference between Remakes and Reboots. When does a prequel become a reboot? Can some movies function as both? When a sequel like Creed re-focusses the story, where does that land on the spectrum?

De Amerikaanse DIY-nomade Brett Newski tourt op dit moment door Europa met zijn nieuwe album Life Upside Down. In aanloop naar zijn show in Cinetol, Amsterdam, mijmert Newski voor LLUID nog eens over zijn beste herinneringen aan de stad!
(foto boven: Sebastian Madej)
Amsterdam, Netherlands – October – 2014
For a week straight, I had been sort of squatting in an attic on the outskirts of Amsterdam. I say "sort of" squatting because the storage attic "sort of" belonged to my pal Willems, a Dutch music videographer and founder of live music series, Mokum Sessions.
He said I'd have to be really quiet, as the tenants below would freak out if they heard someone walking in the ceiling above them. It was October, so the 4th floor attic was mighty cold. I slept on an air mattress, the chilly air filling the fake bed beneath me. The decrepit room was the size of a postage stamp, but it was exciting and I was grateful for a place to stay.
Squatting was sort of sad, and sort of romantic. I had a week to write songs and bike around one of earth's coolest cities. How many lads get that opportunity?! It was pretty lonely, but Willems was a great friend and showed me around town in the hours he wasn't shooting film. The days were spent to myself, drinking coffee at corner cafes and filling up notebooks with chicken scratch; some of it good, most of it rubbish. I felt like a local, zooming around the bohemian city on a 70's bicycle amongst the beautiful Dutch people dressed in their classy stockings and fall attire.
Maybe I should tell you how I acquired the bicycle. After a neat intimate show at de Nieu Anita in Amsterdam with pal Max Meser, I found myself 5 Heinekens deep without a way home. My drummer Jonny P had caught the last train hours ago. Max and I stood next to a canal, finishing a beer on the cobblestone sidewalk.
"Shit balls", I said. "How am I going to get all the way home?" A taxi would've cost 55 euro, more than my take for the show that night. Rations were thin, so I had to get crafty. Wise Max had been living there two years and had a solution..
"It's very simple Brett. You simply buy a bike from a junkie." proclaimed Max in his Spanish accent. "But how?" I said.
"You just start walking around the square looking for sketchy dudes. I got a bike for 10 euros last week. You should try to beat my record," said Max.
Apparently the underground bike trade was a big problem in Amsterdam. Drug addicts stole bikes and sold them for peanuts in order to score drug money. Despite the danger of the situation, this sounded fun to my mushy Heineken brain. I said adios to Max and set out to break Max's record.
"Fitz" is the Dutch word for bike. Taking Max's advice, I walked around Amsterdam in the darkness, looking for sketchy dudes.
"Fitz", I spoke under my breath to a sketchy looking mustache man standing on a corner. He looked at me like I was an insane person.
Across the square, I spotted two Italian looking dudes smoking weed in front of an ancient church. They looked sketchy. No one else was around. "Perfect!", thought my mushy Heineken brain.
When I asked for a "fitz", they looked at me with death stares. It was 3 am. I struck out two more times before I just started walking in the direction of "home".
No more than 5 minutes into the walk, a homeless wizard looking guy pulled up next to me, walking a bike. "Fitz!", he shouted. "Fitz!" I said back. Score. Let the games begin. Maybe I'll get home after all. The wizard man had a crooked eye. His wiry grey hair poked out from a shaggy winter hat as he gripped the bike.
"40 euro", he said. "Too much", I said.
"20 euro", he said. "Too much", I said.
The wizard man sucked at bargaining. His shifty left eye sized me up. His crooked right eye looked off to the side, searching for police.
Soon I had him down to 13 euro. He wouldn't budge on the price. Bummed that I couldn't beat Max's record, I was nevertheless happy to have a way home. This was a good deal for a bike, I thought. I gave wizard man 13 euro. The wizard man floated into the darkness. I biked back to my squat. I gave the bike to Willems as a thank you. He said thanks but he already had two junkie bikes.
Technically, I still own a bike in Amsterdam. I will visit that bike 11-13 October.

EASTBOURNE, Great Britain - Petra Kvitova made it six wins in six matches on grass thus far in the British summer after a 7-5, 6-3 second round victory over Kateryna Bondarenko at the Nature Valley International.
The Nature Valley Classic champion and No.3 seed scored her 38th victory of the season against another former Birmingham champion, and recovered from a break down in the second set to win the last five games.
"I just came yesterday [from Birmingham]. The court is a little bit different compared to Birmingham and the wind is a little bit different," Kvitova said on-court after the match.
"I do feel it's softer than Birmingham, so probably a little bit slower, but some balls are a little bit faster. I needed some time with my serve, but I'm pretty happy with my win today."

— WTA (@WTA) June 26, 2018
Kvitova booked her spot in the third round with 27 winners to 22 unforced errors, including six aces, and converted on five of the eight break points she created.
The No.3 seed moved ahead in the fifth career meeting between the two players with a break in the fifth game, as neither woman was taken to deuce in the first four games of the match.
The Ukrainian qualifier, a champion in Birmingham in 2008 and owner of eight career Top 10 wins, made the World No.7 work for the opener, however, as she found her way into several of the Czech's service games late in the set.
Despite losing the eighth game after building a 0-30 lead, Bondarenko broke Kvitova for the first time when the Czech served for the opening set.
What a point from @Petra_Kvitova! 😲 #NatureValleyInternational pic.twitter.com/yRyEXBOZvm
— WTA (@WTA) June 26, 2018
Ultimately, Kvitova steadied on serve when it mattered the most, as she served out the opening set on her second opportunity to love, and won the last eight points played behind her delivery overall in the victory.
"Obviously, I'm a little bit tired, but I got a hit this morning before the match, a warmup," she said. "The whole tournament [in Birmingham] was more relaxed for me from my side. It was great that I hopefully will save some energy for the next weeks. I felt good with the body, so that's important."
Up next for Kvitova will be the winner of the second round match between No.15 seed Daria Gavrilova, whom she defeated last week in Birmingham, or long-time rival Agnieszka Radwanska.

Stronger Global Governance Framework Needed to Protect Against Emerging Cyber Risks
Posted May 04, 2015
Global cyber governance is one of the key challenges facing businesses and a more robust regulatory framework is needed to address the threats posed by new technologies, according to a report by Zurich Insurance Group and the Esade Center for Global Economy and Geopolitics.
While emerging technologies such as drones, 3-D printing and self-driving cars are fundamentally changing the nature of cyber risk, the report contends that current regulation and governance regimes in place globally are inadequate to ensure the security of the world's cyber infrastructure.
"At one end of the spectrum, where governance deals mainly with technical issues and relies on a multi-stakeholder model, governance is effective," the report says. "At the other end of the spectrum, which includes the realm of threats like cyber warfare and state-sponsored sabotage, effective global governance is completely lacking. Between these two extremes is a 'gray zone' where interests of industry, governments and individuals, global governance models and organizational cultures coincide. This middle zone offers a promising place to start to work to encourage effective international efforts."
Companies in almost all sectors are exposed to cyber threats with the potential to cause enormous damage in terms of reputation and physical losses, liabilities, and regulatory costs. Unchecked, these cyber threats could severely affect technical and economic development globally.
"The nature of cyber security is evolving so quickly it can be difficult for businesses to keep track of the risks let alone the solutions," said Mike Kerner, CEO of General Insurance for Zurich. "It is very clear that businesses that want to protect themselves from cyber security and privacy risks must adopt a mindset of resilience."
The report aims to provide a detailed study on the state of the global governance of cyber security. It assesses the current and evolving nature of cyber risk, examines the existing global governance framework, and proposes new paths to tackle the current disorder in cyberspace. Based on a detailed mapping of the rules, institutions and procedures that form the current global cyber governance framework, the report highlights opportunities for the private sector, civil society and policy makers to improve the current situation and facilitate the mitigation of cyber threats.
Recommendations to policymakers include the creation of a Cyber Stability Board to strengthen global institutions and insulate them from geopolitical tensions, and the creation of a cyber alert system based on the model of the World Health Organization (WHO) to enhance crisis management.

PALO ALTO, CA: Hewlett Packard Enterprise SVP of global comms Howard Clabo is exiting the company after six years to form a communications consultancy.
Clabo, who reports to Henry Gomez, EVP and chief marketing and communications officer, is set to leave Hewlett Packard Enterprise on April 13. The company is searching for his replacement.
"It's been the ride of a lifetime, an unbelievable journey with a fantastic group of people," Clabo said.
In an internal memo, Gomez said Clabo has decided the "time is right" to start a business.
Hewlett Packard Enterprise has promoted Katherine Ducker, Kate Holderness, and Kara Sakuda to VP, effective immediately. Until a replacement is found, Clabo's leadership team will report to Gomez.
Ducker will continue to lead global product communications; Holderness will continue to head corporate comms; and Sakuda will continue to manage global executive and employee communications.
"Under some extraordinary circumstances, [Clabo] has proven himself to be a world-class communications leader," Gomez said in the memo.
Clabo said in a LinkedIn post that the company has executed "the biggest separation in business history" during his tenure. It launched Hewlett Packard Enterprise and HP Inc., both publicly traded, from the former HP in 2015. Hewlett Packard Enterprise is focused on servers, software, storage, networking, and associated services, while HP Inc. sells printers and PCs.
Hewlett Packard Enterprise CEO Meg Whitman stepped down this year, with president Antonio Neri succeeding her on February 1.
Clabo was a member of PRWeek's 40 Under 40 list in 2012.

Why We Need a Green Revolution--And How It Can Renew America Friedman's bestseller "The World Is Flat" has helped millions of readers to see globalization in a new way. Now the author brings a fresh outlook to the crises of destabilizing climate change and rising competition for energy. In vivid, entertaining chapters, Friedman makes it clear that the green revolution we need is like no revolution the world has seen. It will be the biggest innovation project in American history; it will be hard, not easy; and it will change everything from what you put into your car to what you see on your electricity bill. But the payoff for America will be more than just cleaner air. It will inspire Americans to something we haven't seen in a long time--nation-building in America--by summoning the intelligence, creativity, boldness, and concern for the common good that are our nation's greatest natural resources. Friedman explains how global warming, rapidly growing populations, and the astonishing expansion of the world's middle class through globalization have produced a planet that is "hot, flat, and crowded."
"Friedman is a three-time Pulitzer Prize winner for his work with The New York Times. He also authored the highly popular books, The Lexus and the Olive Tree (1999) and The World is Flat (2005). The world is getting hot, flat, and crowded because of the convergence of rapid population growth, exploding middle classes, and global warming. The first very readable half of the book makes a powerful case for immediate change. The latter part argues that the U.S. can maintain its moral and technological leadership toward a future habitable planet. This book has changed my thinking about the environment." --David Mays (Director of Learning Initiatives for The Mission Exchange)

Transitional Justice Co-ordination Group
Statement on the Upcoming Kabul Conference
28 June 2010
The Transitional Justice Co-ordination Group, comprising 25 national and international organisations, calls on representatives at the upcoming Kabul Conference to commit to ensuring that justice forms the cornerstone of any moves towards peace in Afghanistan.
A durable peace cannot be achieved in our country without a thorough investigation of the painful and violent past, and without seeking justice and ending the culture of impunity. We therefore call on the international community and the Government of Afghanistan to adhere to the following:
1. We call on the United Nations Security Council to oversee the investigation and review of individuals currently on the UN blacklist. Removing individuals from the blacklist without a transparent review process would be rewarding those implicated for their alleged crimes and undermines the rule of law in Afghanistan.
2. Detainees held without charge must be given a fair and transparent review process. The rights of detainees to due legal process must be respected. The current refusal to extend habeas corpus to these prisoners is not only against the laws of this country but also strengthens the culture of impunity and undermines the independence of judiciary.
3. The Constitution is the highest legal authority in the country. Therefore, mechanisms to achieve peace recommended by the Peace Jirga should be consistent with the letter and spirit of the Constitution.
4. Recommendations of the Peace Jirga should be put to a referendum before being implemented.
5. Individuals suspected or accused of war crimes and human rights violations should be investigated and prosecuted when there is credible evidence.
6. We call on international governments to support calls to amend or repeal the Amnesty Law. The commitment of the international community to upholding human rights in Afghanistan should be clear and consistent. The Government of Afghanistan has an obligation to honour its constitutional commitments as well as honour its international obligations.
The Transitional Justice Co-ordination Group convened the Victims Jirga for Justice on 09 May 2010 in order to raise the demands of war victims and to ensure their voices are heard in any proposed peace process. The event brought together more than a hundred representatives of victims groups across Afghanistan, representing war-affected individuals from every phase of conflict during the past three decades.

Hi Carol and George, we are about to follow in your footsteps having just bought WB Dolly Daydream (see www.widebeam.weebly.com). Would you like a hand with the blacking in April? We will need to do ours soon, and would be interested to help with yours first. Let me know. Rob (& Hayley)
- 20 February 2016 at 04:07
- Carol said...
Hi Rob and Hayley, thank you for getting in touch with us; we hope that you will enjoy your gap years on wb Dolly Daydream when you set off in March. If you would like to help with the blacking of Still Rockin' you would be most welcome but we are quite a distance from Mercia and you would not be able to cruise here on wb DD as there are narrow canals between us. The wider canals start from Camp Hill in Birmingham going south. If you were planning to come by car of course we'd love to have some extra help. (copied to your blog too) Carol and George.

- WB Dolly Daydream said...
Hi Carol, I work in London two days a week until end of April, so depending on the date of the blacking I might be able to pop over to Uxbridge to give you a hand. It would be good to pick up some tips before we have to black our hull in the summer. I also have a few questions I would like to ask you about if possible, like for example, we are considering buying a pramhood - would you consider this a hindrance for travelling under bridges, or an essential item? Rob.

This quotation really resonates with me. Perhaps because I'm a scientist, I am an expert in my field and I find it atrocious that my years of training are discounted in favor of lay people with little to no training, but the gall to question issues with a clear consensus within the scientific community. (This can be anything from global climate change to vaccine safety.)
I'm never certain why people doubt those who are experts in their field as if they are on equal intellectual footing. I don't tell my plumber how to fix my toilet, I don't tell my lawyer how to write my will, I don't tell my doctor what medicine to prescribe. While I may seek second opinions from another plumber, I wouldn't doubt their solution if their opinions concurred.
Why do Americans have such an unhealthy amount of skepticism when it comes to trusting those with immense knowledge?
A few months ago Emily Willingham, unequivocally an expert in her field, wrote about the issue of the media quoting celebrities on scientific issues (ie Playboy Playmate Jenny McCarthy as an expert on autism and vaccine safety). What struck me was Emily's calculation of just how much time and effort it takes to develop expertise in science. Her admitted underestimation (since she assumes students finish grad school in only 5 years and post-docs only work 40 hours per week) was that it took "at least 15,200 hours of study" to earn a PhD in science.
How could a lawyer turned politician or waitress turned actress or any American who isn't a scientist possibly debate points of science or question an issue that has been put to rest by a consensus in the scientific community? It baffles me.

I've been hit with some unexpected blows this month that will probably pull me away from meeting my goal to get debt free by Feb 26th. It sucks to say but looking at my situations realistically, I'm looking at pushing my goal two months back. But who knows, I might still have a shot at making it by the 26th if my tax return ends up being really nice to me. Anyway, two reasons for my set backs:
- My first hit came from my work. The way things are looking, I'm not going to be working at my main job again until sometime in May. Now this affects me because the goal date was made based on the flow of my current income and so without it, the caluclations is going to be off. However, when school starts back up I will still have my on-campus job which should help me. I expect this hit to cost me about a month and a half.
- Now with me not having a job until school starts, I will be completly free and in return will make me spend more than I usually do just to get out of the house to stay busy. This is my second hit. I'm not the kind of person who likes to stay in the house all day and do nothing but watch T.V. With my time off, I will probably be hanging out with friends, who are all about going to places and spending money. I am expecting this hit to cost me about half a month.
So overall, I'm thinking it's going to set me back about two months.
Now enough of the bad news and on to some good ones.
- I just got my refund check from my school, which was 1325.00. This will all go towards my credit card debt and will bring it down to 3704.61.
- I did not spend no where near as much as I had expected for Chirstmas gifts so that saved me about another 200 dollars last month.
- I just found out that my friend who owes me money will be able to pay some of that back, which was something that was not in my "expected income" list.
As of now, my debt meter went from -$5029.61 to -3704.61 and I am expecting it to be hitting somewhere around the low 3,000.00 by the end of this month. Still not bad for someone whose unemployed, I think.

It's mid February. I've gotten close to 30 new books since New Years. My wall-length bookshelves that house both my books and my mug collection are laden. The books are progressively kicking the mugs out-of-the-way. That is a problem all unto itself. But there's another issue. I. Have. A. Major. Problem.
This is what happens when I find a cart of free books. It might have been below zero out, I may not have been able to feel my toes or hands and I may have had slobber rolling down my face because I had a Bridge Street Chocolate espresso marshmallow stuffed in my face.
The fact that my local gently used book store has $1 book carts, by 2 get 1 free does NOT help my cause any either. I just keep telling myself…."They're for my classroom. They'll help my students. They are helping to build my future." And by building my "future" I mean, building my future library room…and one day my future office at a university somewhere.
But I have this problem. I have all of these books, and well…thank goodness I'm not blowing my bank account to get them because well….none of them are grabbing my attention.
I've been a book-worm for as long as I can remember. I had to start wearing glasses in middle school because as a child I hid under blankets with small, dim, key chain flash lights to read Magic Tree House. My parents were always encouraging my reading habits, reading to me as a child, always getting me at least one book from the cool Scholastic Book Fair at school even though money was tight, and still getting me books for Christmas now as a 22-year-old. To be fair, many of my obnoxious reading habits have come from my father, he's just a bit better at hiding them. I have a whole pin board that is nothing but books, book lists, and book sayings.
I created a Net Galley account last summer and I LOVE IT! Free books and all I had to do was read them and review them; but so many of them were so bad I couldn't even finish them. Obviously they didn't get the best reviews in return. I have made great connections with a few of the authors that I did review and enjoy like Brielle Skye, author of Solitude of a Birdcage. But those connections with both the literature and the authors are so very few and far between.
In the past 2 months, with my massive literary additions I have read 3 of them to completion and even those were a struggle. Why?
For a while I thought, well it's got to just be the literature. Comparatively to even 10 or 20 years ago, it is SO much easier to have a book published and put out there. eBooks have made becoming an author easier than ever before. This can be a good thing and a bad thing…for obvious reasons. It's kind of like American Idol. For years friends and family tell someone they are an amazing singer in order to avoid hurt feelings, and these poor people stand up on stage and sound like they are dying, wailing cows. The same happens with writing. People are told that they are great writers, some may have even gone to school for English or writing…but that doesn't mean that they are good.
My other thought-standards are low. With books like Twilight, 50 Shades of Grey and a multitude of other books being PUBLISHED no wonder there is so much crap out there. I'm not just talking content wise either. Anyone with any kind of English grammar/writing sense can tell you that some of the best-selling books in the last 10 years are some of the most poorly written books they have read in their life. People are not only reading this stuff and enjoying it, but asking for more like there is no problem with any of it. They have no idea that they are reading poor "literature." The term is being used quite loosely here. They make money, so they continue to be published because people aren't standing up and saying "STOP WE WANT THE GOOD STUFF!"
Maybe I'm just all read out. I've read so many books over the years that it is rare that a book ends differently than I expect. I usually have a solid guess of what is going to happen and how the characters are going to get there about 20 pages in. The excitement of "what is going to happen next," seems to have disappeared for me. Is this my fault? Have authors gotten together, come up with a story equation, plugged in their own "details" and continue to write the same story with different names? My favorite- Nicholas Sparks. The same story over and over with a few variations, like names, diseases, and occupations. Here is a chart that has been floating around as an example-
This makes me feel better, that maybe I'm not as crazy as I thought I was about this theory.
I think that somewhere in my heart, I know that all of the above reasons are reasons why I am struggling. I also think that they are all contributing factors to what I am now calling "book depression." This is very different from a Book Hangover– symptoms and other info are included in the linked post. Book depression is a deep sadness, a fear that it is going to be a very long time before you read a good book again. It's longing for a book that you're not sure even exists. I want to read something inspiring, something hopeful, something unexpected, something relatable, something real. I want a story with dynamic characters, with a strong plot, with antagonists and protagonists. I want something that doesn't involve werewolves or vampires or dystopian society. I want a book with proper sentence structure, lacking comma splices, and with bright, vibrant language.
I want to fall in love with words on the pages of the book in my hand. I want to yearn for more and hope there is at least a sequel. I want to read again.

As time goes on and the pundits and politicos understand that a deal must be reached well before Dec. 21 in order to avoid the dreaded (and much hyped) "fiscal cliff", we are likely seeing the stage set for yet another pusillanimous copout by the Dems. These are the same ones that – last I checked- won the Nov. 6th election. So why the hell are they ready now to capitulate once again to the Reptiles, now that the latter have declared they will use the debt ceiling gimmick to again hold this country hostage.
Recall last time the 'pukes pulled this BS, last year, Obama punted and gave the bastards $1.6 trillion in cuts – thereby reinforcing the pattern for the next hostage taking by these REEP TERRORISTS. Instead of being ballsy, and invoking the 14th amendment to head off the deranged reepos, Obama gave in. If it had been JFK, I guaran-damn-tee you the 14th would have been used to increase the debt ceiling without congress- and devil take the hindmost. JFK wouldn't have tolerated this nonsense!
Before anyone flips out at this, let us understand the debt ceiling approval is NOT some magic vote to increase spending limits – analogous to a credit card company raising a person's credit card limit. No, it is a pro forma agreement to pay money already spent! Since the President is afforded the power to ensure ALL debts are paid (under the 14th, Secs. 4,5) then it behooves him to use it if his opposition threatens default and destruction of the nation's credit rating. It's as simple as that. Adopt the attitude of the 'pukes and shout "BRING IT ON!" instead of running from the fight!
But to cave in and leave out the 14th each time the Reepos pull this shit, because you want to avoid confrontation, is to betray wimp-hood and your base – who helped pour its heart and soul into ensuring your 2nd term.
Here's my beef: According to people (such as WaPo's Ezra Klein) in the know and with ears much closer to the ground than mine, the White House is seeking a "grand deal" to avoid the cliff and also incorporate the debt ceiling as part of it – effectively removing it as leverage for the Reeps in the near future. This alleged "grand deal" – get this – would raise the tax rates by barely 2 percent (to 37%) on the richest 2% in exchange for raising the Medicare eligible age to 67 and for substituting the "chained CPI" as a new COLA for Social Security.
This is NUTSO! What did we go to bat for Obama for only to get ambushed like this? As Joan Walsh said yesterday morning on 'The Cycle' – she cannot believe Obama would even passingly entertain such a cruel idea in his head. Meanwhile, David Cay Johnston was even more blunt on the Ed Schulz show: "It's not just wrong, it's evil. We should be LOWERING the Medicare eligible age to 55, not raising it!"
Bernie Sanders (Socialist, VT) quoted in the WSJ (p. A4) day before yesterday said:
"The proposal to use a different inflation measure (for Social Security CPI) is a very devious and underhanded way to continue the class warfare being waged against the middle class and working families".
He was equally blunt about the proposal to raise the Medicare age, which some looney tune "liberals" actually seem to believe might be a good idea because of "Obamacare" taking care of those oldsters caught out. Those liberals want their butts kicked. Or maybe their brains re-adjusted! And that includes any in Obama's cabinet and among his advisers.
The fact is Obamacare, i.e. the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act will be no use to any 65-67 yr. old senior in a state which forgoes exchanges, or nullifies the law altogether. In such states, all the seniors in that open age group will be screwed, or at the mercy of private insurers – who will either gouge them senseless or ignore them totally, say if they have pre-existing conditions, like my prostate cancer.
It is better, MUCH better, to go OVER this fiscal cliff than to cop to a bad deal such as the one Obama's administration seems to be considering. As for the debt ceiling, Obama – if he has the balls – can stop that one time by using the 14th amendment and staring the Reeps down. Constitutional crisis? Bring it on! Let's have this showdown face off once and for all.
To Obama: We got you elected, now we expect you to FIGHT and not back down! Please do not take "advice" from wimpish Demo wussies in your inner circle, and instead make your own decision on this one, understanding that each time you toss "a bone" to the 'pukes they will use it against you next time.
There's an easy solution to them always grabbing the debt ceiling for "leverage": take it away from them, not by capitulation but via executive FORCE, and the 14th amendment. Do NOT "take it off the table"!

Liquid Rainbow River of Colombia
An amazing video of the Liquid Rainbow River of Colombia by Ivan Mikolji.
The Liquid Rainbow River, or Caño Cristales, runs through an isolated mountain range in the center of Colombia. For a brief period each year the river explodes with colors ranging from reds, pinks and yellows thanks to a unique plant growing on the rocks. The video above details some of the efforts to preserve not only the river, but the wildlife around it. The video is narrated in Spanish so make sure to turn on the closed captions.
The video shows a few cichlid species living in Caño Cristales including Apistogramma alacrina, Aequidens and Crenicichla species. The underwater scenery is fantastic. To discuss the species in the video visit the South American Cichlids forum.

THANKS to regular reader Pam McKinnon I have been given a fine subject for another column in my occasional series on Scots émigrés who had a significant influence on their adopted country.
In 2004, the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) launched a series aimed at finding the Greatest Ever Canadian, similar to the BBC's Great Britons series.
It is an astonishing fact that of the ten people on the short list, no fewer than three were Scots – in reverse order of how the trio finished, they were telephone inventor Alexander Graham Bell (born Edinburgh, 1847); Canada's first Prime Minister Sir John Alexander MacDonald (born Glasgow, 1815); and Tommy Douglas, born Camelon by Falkirk, 1904. More than a million Canadians took part in that 2004 vote which lent the outcome considerable authority. The choice of Douglas surprised few people, for the man they called the Prairie Giant is revered across Canada for one of the greatest social advances that country has ever enjoyed. If you know that his nickname was the Father of Medicare, you can guess why so many Canadians love him so. Though I knew his name and the reason for his fame, I did not know just what an extraordinary human being this Scots-born Canadian was.
Since he lived for most of the 20th century, we have terrific detail on his life, and I can only implore you to spend some time on YouTube or the CBC archives to hear a brilliant orator who was also a genuinely funny man – he'd often spend the first part of a speech telling jokes to get people's attention and then hit them with one liners that were both snappy and serious.
Regular readers know that, whenever possible, I always like to use the words spoken or written by my subjects, and I make no apology for sprinkling this column with many words written or said by Tommy Douglas, for his wisdom can still speak to us more than 33 years after his death. Though he emigrated to Canada at the age of five, it is very important to note that Thomas Clement Douglas was Scottish and proud of it. For instance, he was an avid admirer of Robert Burns and was in great demand as a speaker at Burns Nights well into his seventies. Even late in life his accent had a distinct Scottish burr to it and when you know that he spent four of his teenaged years in Glasgow at the time when the city was turning into Red Clydeside, you can guess where he learned his politics that are best summed up as somewhere between outright socialist and what we would now call social democratic, though he was always definitely a man of the left and led the first provincial socialist government in all of North America. He was born in Sunnybrae House – owned by the family of television inventor John Logie Baird – in Camelon on October 20, 1904. His father Thomas was a former soldier with the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders who have become an iron moulder at the nearby Carron Ironworks, as his seven brothers had all been. Douglas's mother, Annie Clement, was from a Perthshire Baptist family, and her father had been a lay minister.
With two younger sisters, Isabel and Anne, known as Nan, and inspired by the success of his émigré uncle Willie, the family of five emigrated to Winnipeg in 1910, where Douglas senior work in the Vulcan Ironworks. On the outbreak of war in 1914, the Douglases returned to Scotland and lived in Glasgow for the next four years while Thomas Douglas returned to his old regiment.
By the time they left Canada, Tommy Douglas had suffered a life-changing experience. He fell and cut his knee and in the pre-antibiotic era he was afflicted with osteomyelitis, an inflammation of the bone and marrow caused by infection. Surgeons wanted to amputate, but a Dr JR Smith, a famous orthopaedic consultant, said he would try and save it if the family would allow students to observe the treatment. He operated successfully and this incident made a huge impression on nine-year-old Tommy Douglas.
He would later say: "I felt that no boy should have to depend either for his leg or his life upon the ability of his parents to raise enough money to bring a first-class surgeon to his bedside. And I think it was out of this experience, not at the moment consciously, but through the years, I came to believe that health services ought not to have a price tag on them, and that people should be able to get whatever health services they require irrespective of their individual capacity to pay."
While at the same time conforming to his mother's Baptist faith, in Glasgow he drank in the revolutionary politics that was all around him, though it was on his return to Winnipeg after the war that his leanings toward socialism were confirmed when he watched police fire on strikers in his home city.
Douglas became an apprentice printer as well as a boxer – he won the lightweight championship of Manitoba in 1922 and 1923 – but at the age of 19 he told his family he had a vocation to be a Baptist minister.
SIX years at Brandon College followed before Douglas was ordained a minister at Calvary Baptist Church in Weyburn, Saskatchewan, in 1930. He also married a fellow Brandon student, music teacher Irma Dempsey. In 1931, Douglas completed his studies at the University of Chicago just as the Great Depression really began to bite. Returning to Weyburn, Douglas organised relief for the unemployed and education for children whose parents could not afford to send them to school. He concluded that practical Christianity and practical politics were needed and in 1932 he helped form the Farmer-Labour Party which later merged into the Commonwealth Cooperative Federation (CCF).
Douglas decided to run and won his seat in Weyburn, resigning from the ministry and going to the Canadian Parliament where he made an astonishing 60 speeches in his first session.
He would later sum up his political philosophy quite simply: "Man can now fly in the air like a bird, swim under the ocean like a fish, he can burrow into the ground like a mole. Now if only he could walk the earth like a man, this would be paradise."
An avowed anti-fascist, he warned in 1937 that war was coming in Europe and later said: "Fascism begins the moment a ruling class, fearing the people may use their political democracy to gain economic democracy, begins to destroy political democracy in order to retain its power of exploitation and special privilege." A warning for our times, perhaps.
On the outbreak of war Douglas enlisted in the South Saskatchewan Regiment but his previous leg problem stopped him seeing service.
Instead he returned to Weyburn and in 1944, led the CCF to a famous local victory in the provincial elections, standing on the slogan Humanity First. They won 47 of the 52 seats and Douglas was duly sworn in as Premier of the continent's first socialist administration.
He would serve as Premier until 1961, and in that time Saskatchewan led Canada in bringing in such matters as human rights legislation, a trade union act for bargaining rights, and eventually a form of universal health care.
He was seen as a troublesome socialist and a few years ago it was revealed that the Royal Canadian Mounted Police had spied on him as a result of a tip off from the FBI that Douglas had links with Communists.
Douglas probably had a hint of this surveillance at the time. He once said: "Setting people to spy on one another is not the way to protect freedom."
It was insurance that he saw as the way to providing free health care. For just five dollars a year, citizens bought into the province's health insurance system. The medical profession hated it at first, but came round to the idea.
To justify the new health set-up, Douglas recalled his time as a minister: "I remember burying a girl fourteen years of age who had died with a ruptured appendix ... I buried a good many people that I knew."
It's important to note that Douglas did not neglect the economy. Far from it – his Government encouraged private companies to develop manufacturing facilities to reduce Saskatchewan's dependence on agriculture, but whenever the private sector wasn't up to scratch, the Government set up Crown Corporations who devised and managed services like telephones, transport and even insurance. In the 1950s, Saskatchewan boomed, and Douglas's Government was in such good health financially that he was able to bring forward a workable province-wide universal and comprehensive medical care insurance programme – Medicare, which he announced in a speech in 1959 and which came into effect in 1962, after a doctors' strike against it failed dismally after three weeks.
Sat the start of the 60s, there were political developments at national level as the CFC merged with the Canadian Labour Congress to form the New Democratic Party or NDP. The Prairie Giant – his nickname though he was of average height – was the only contender for the leadership and he returned to the Ottawa Parliament in 1961, full of ideas as to how the new party could transform the whole of Canada.
He would say: "My dream is for people around the world to look up and to see Canada like a little jewel sitting at the top of the continent."
Yet apart from Saskatchewan's Medicare, which was adopted for the whole of Canada by the end of the decade. the NDP was not able to exert the influence it perhaps should have done. Medicare was a great enough achievement, and Douglas revelled in the fact that his principled stance in Saskatchewan had transformed the national health: "I'm sure that the standard of public morality we've helped build will force government in Canada to approve complete health insurance."
He was wary of acclaim, however: "I don't mind being a symbol but I don't want to become a monument. There are monuments all over the Parliament Buildings and I've seen what the pigeons do to them."
Well into his sixties, Douglas fought the Government of Pierre Trudeau after hundreds of suspected Front de Liberation du Quebec members and sympathisers were taken into custody and detained without warrants. Douglas saw it as a human rights issue, and unpopular though his stance was, he refused to back down. He continued in Parliament until retiring in 1978, and he was still a respected figure when he died of cancer in 1986. All Canada mourned him.
The wisdom of Douglas is perhaps best summed up in these sentences: "We are all in this world together, and the only test of our character that matters is how we look after the least fortunate among us. How we look after each other, not how we look after ourselves. That's all that really matters, I think."
As well as his contribution to political life, Douglas left a great legacy in the shape of his family. His actress daughter Shirley married that very fine actor and lover of Scotland Donald Sutherland, and his grandson is 24 star Kiefer Sutherland. Both daughter and grandson have fought for his causes.
The final word goes to Tommy Douglas and a phrase of his that could be adopted as an ideal slogan for all believers in Scottish independence: "Courage my friends, 'tis not too late to build a better world."

I'm still pretty smitten since trying out this pair of bike lights that mount permanently to the headset and seatpost—but I still gotta remember to charge them. So I'm dying to try out Pixio by Rydon; these little illuminators are solar-powered, meaning every time you go for a daytime ride you're powering up for after hours.
That is just super freaking smart. And if the specs are to be believed, you'd literally never have to worry about your bike lights ever again. These babies will shine for two years—two years!—straight out of the box?! Sheesh. On top of that, a little solar panel on top is constantly collecting energy, and apparently it just takes five cloudless days to power up again. Once they're on, you need a special, Pixio-specific tool to take them off, meaning that you'd have to get super industrious to nab 'em—and after all, most thieves are looking for an easy get.
Right now they're on pre-order for black or white models, and you can buy yours for about $45 each, here. Yes, I know that sounds expensive, but if these seriously are the only ones you'll need for-ev-er, then that's way worth it. [Rydon]

Biomarker levels were measured directly in CulturPlates-96 and-384 in a simple, fast, all-in-one-well AlphaLISA assay format. The elimination of transfer and wash steps simplifies cellular assays, reduces variability and significantly reduces hands-on time and costs associated with consumables. Integral plasma membrane (EGFR) and secreted solubleproteins (TNFa, IL1ß, IL6, IL8) were successfully determined, on adherent or suspension cells, using the standard AlphaLISA Immunoassay buffer.
Enzyme-linked Immunosorbent Assay is the most widely Kits adopted method for detection and quantification of cytokines and other biomarkers. This traditional technology offers good,selectivity, sensitivity and assay versatility; however, it has certain disadvantages such as limited dynamic range and low throughput due to the numerous wash steps.
