Human Nature products always get the best of my curiosity whenever I stumble upon MUA's blogs or discussions. Who can ever resist a product line that promises 100% free of chemicals & toxins? Also, they are Philippine made that is worth supporting by any Filipina addicted to beauty like me. Last but not the least they are incredibly affordable. While you might raise your eyebrow at that word, they can always prove that quality is still their highest priority. It doesn't always mean that if it is cheap then the quality is compromised. Check out their website to find out more.
Human Nature Sunflower Seed Beauty Oil - Its one of the most coveted product Human Nature has ever made. It can dupe any expensive lotion you have in your beauty cabinet and can do much more wonders other than to moisturize. I also use it to remove my makeup, add a little glitz to my hair & use it as a quick regimen for some of my dessert-dry areas of skin (i.e. toes, elbows etc.).
The first thing that bothered me after I bought it is the defected pump. It wasn't working and I was half-way to Baguio even before I can return it. I totally wished I had tested it when I was in the store. :P I brought this to Baguio because I know it will be freezing cold there during the nights & my magic oil can do wonders in keeping my extremities warm. It worked its charm & the next thing I wished for is a nice warm spa and a jacuzzi (which won't really work out there XD).
So will I purchase another bottle of this? Yes of course, the oil is not as sticky as we all know of & it locks in moisture 10x than lotion. So it is definitely worth hauling, hoarding & stashing. :)
Human Nature Tinted Lip Balm in Island Kiss - It gives off a sheer color of orange. A go-to, always-in-a-hurry gal would love this. Plus it doesn't just give color but moisture & it softens chapped lips. Who needs a lipstick when you have this, right? Especially for me, my lips are always chappy, rough & so on and so forth. I find them superbly excellent in delivering those smooth lips and subtle color for everday look. :)

Auto industry experts are estimating that between 300,000 and 500,000 vehicles were either badly damaged or completely destroyed in the Houston area alone during Hurricane Harvey.
Cox Automotive, the parent company of publications such as Autotrader, Kelley Blue Book and more, reports that the total estimated cost of damage to vehicles is between $2.7 and $4.9 billion. In terms of vehicle damage, Harvey is likely the worst natural disaster in U.S. history, according to the email.
One of the key takeaways in this data is how to handle a water-damaged vehicle and also how to avoid buying one in the storm's aftermath.
Autotrader reports that the used-car market should see an influx of water-damaged cars "within days of a storm's landfall." One thing to remember is that water-damage could remain unnoticed for "for months or even years."
"Used-vehicle shoppers searching within a few hundred miles of the storm should be particularly wary, but it's not just shoppers in the affected regions who should increase their vigilance," Autotrader reports. "Savvy sellers will move damaged vehicles to unaffected states, where they will retitle the cars before foisting them on unsuspecting buyers.
"Like gas vapor seeping into a room, storm-damaged flood cars will find their way into every corner of the country."
Tips to avoid buying a water-damaged car include checking under the carpets, mats, floor and inside the trunk for mud or rust, smell the interior for mildew, check for mud in difficult to reach places, check any exposed screws for rust, and to also check underneath panels and brackets for mud or other debris.
Jonathon Smoke, the Chief Economist for Cox Automotive and its publications, said in a previous emailed statement that somewhere between 20,000 and 40,000 August new car sales could be delayed by the storm.
The Houston car market is one of the top 10 in the nation, as the country's seventh-largest city by population has a car ownership rate of 94.4 percent.

Fitness Guru Kelsey Wells Shows Dieters Why They Can Ditch the Scale for Good
Numbers don't matter anymore
When the concept of weight loss comes to mind, most people immediately think of a scale and the entire process of weighing themselves. While we all stress over the number that may show up on the scale, apparently we don't even need to worry about it to look our absolutely best. Fitness guru Kelsey Wells just revealed something amazing, and it proves that you may be able to throw out your scale for good.
Don't even think about your weight in numbers ever again…

jamibea's adventures in birdland
I work in a library by day, garden by night, and make music in my dreams.
Friday, October 3, 2008
I spent last Saturday at the
Northern Minnesota Draft Horse Association Fall Field Day
My mom, grandma and I took a road trip out to Belgrade and we gawked at horses and old farm equipment.
There were teams of Percherons and Belgians pulling covered wagons and buggies as well as demonstrating old farming machinery.
It's just mind-boggling see how difficult (and dangerous) farming was back then!
I also saw oxen
and Norwegian Fjords
and we all went on a hay ride
A perfect way to spent a Saturday :)

I thought it would be a nice day out for my daughter and I to browse the San Tan Village shops in Gilbert. I should have taken into consideration this is not your typical refrigerated mall. It was hot the day we started our trek. Something like 112 degrees…in the shade.
I was excited at the prospect of a "downtown" shopping experience. When I was growing up in Waukegan, Illinois, downtown was the only place to shop. But, I don't think it was ever 112 degrees (in the shade) in Waukegan.
San Tan Village disappointed me. Just a bunch of stores strung together. Not much in the way of ambiance at the street either. Curbside parking with lots of blacktop. Which, combined with the 112 degrees (yes, in the shade) was kinda like being in a brick pizza oven. Heat reflecting off cars, heat radiating from the black topped road. Not exactly conducive to mozying. We actually found ourselves stopping at the "you are here" map and saying, "hmmm…we're getting kinda far from the car. Let's go to a real mall where it's cool". Which is exactly what we did.
I'm sure this is a nice place to shop in the winter, but I wish planners would have thought about our desert summers and built in some shade coverings over the walkways. Or some shade landscape options at the very least.
Maybe they figured with the gigantic underwear photos (complete with big boobies) hanging over Victoria's Secret, nobody would notice the heat? Too bad they had to change those… it might have worked.

NEW YORK (AP) — The Latest on pride marches (all times local):
4:05 p.m.
Thousands of revelers wrapped in rainbow flags and wearing rainbow tutus and boas are marching in San Francisco to celebrate diversity but also to protest prejudice and exclusion.
Some partygoers celebrating gay pride held signs Sunday that read "No Ban, No Wall, Welcome Sisters and Brothers" while they danced to electronic music at a stage near San Francisco's City Hall.
Frank Reyes and his husband Paul Brady said they decided to march for the first time in many years because they feel the need to stand up for their rights.
Brady says things are changing quickly and "we need to be as visible as possible."
Pride parades in New York, San Francisco, Minneapolis and other cities are spotlighting resistance to what participants see as new pressure on gay rights.
1:25 p.m.
New York City revelers waved rainbow flags and carried colorful balloons at the annual pride. But some of them also got political.
A group against changes to the federal health care law pulled a gurney and carried IV bags. A group called Gays Against Guns chanted "What do we want? Gun control!"
Pride parades in San Francisco, Minneapolis and other cities are spotlighting resistance to what participants see as new pressure on gay rights.
In New York, tens of thousands lined the streets Sunday. Many said the political climate was prompting them to turn out.
Twenty-year-old Lee Sorge, a transgender man from New York, said he came for the first time in part to show support for the gay community in light of the political climate.
9:20 a.m.
Gay pride parades in New York, San Francisco and other cities are spotlighting resistance to what participants see as new pressure on gay rights. But the events are also contending with the prospect of protests over their own diversity and direction.
Both the New York and San Francisco parades Sunday will be headed by groups more focused on protest than celebration at a time when leaders are anxious about new President Donald Trump's agenda.
But the pride celebrations also face some resistance from within the LGBT world itself. Some activists feel the events are centered on gay white men and unconcerned with issues that matter particularly to minorities in the movement, such as economic inequality and policing.
March organizers have taken some steps to address the criticisms about diversity.

NEW YORK -- A shiver of concern swept through New York's garment industry yesterday as some factoring companies and credit-rating agencies advised their clients against shipping goods to Joppa-based Merry-Go-Round Enterprises Inc., the trendy but struggling operator of specialty stores.
The company, which operates the Merry-Go-Round, Cignal, Attiva and Dejaiz chains, has been paying its bills regularly, manufacturers said yesterday.
"This has been a very fine, fine company, but they've had some difficulties this year," said Richard Posner, executive vice president of Credit Exchange Inc., a credit monitoring agency. "People are worried going forward. Is this company going to represent some credit risk?"
The uproar comes at an awkward moment for Merry-Go-Round because it is still receiving last-minute shipments of holiday merchandise, though the company, probably has most goods it needs for the season in its warehouse.

Steel Building Systems, Inc
Building green commercial or institutional rec buildings means choosing construction materials with the smallest possible environmental impact. Steel framing is the recycling winner of all green building methods.
Conservationists rate preserving natural resources by three main methods: reducing, recycling, and reducing.
REDUCING: Choosing pre-engineered steel building systems for rec buildings reduces raw material usage.
Steel's superior strength-to-weight ratio produces a stouter structure with far fewer building materials than other construction methods. Typical wood construction places framing studs 16" to 24" on center. Because steel is so much stronger than wood, steel columns are spaced 25' on center.
Furthermore, steel structures outlast other types of buildings by decades, minimizing the environmental impact.
Red-iron steel framing creates much deeper wall cavities than framing with lumber. Filling the steel walls with top-grade insulation produces a snug, energy-saving structure. Consequently, steel-built rec buildings are cheaper to operate.
RECYCLING: No building material is considered green unless it is recyclable. No other structural product matches the recycling record of steel:
REUSING: Wood and concrete buildings end up dumped a landfill at the end of their usefulness.
When a recreational building created with steel reaches the natural end of its life cycle, the steel is recycled once again. The steel framing lives on as something else strong and useful: a bridge, car, submarine, train, washing machine— or even another metal building.
The Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design (LEED) certifies green building projects. Using a point system, LEED rates construction projects. Because of its high recycled content, steel is the only building material boasting an automatic default score by LEED.
According to the U.S. Green Building Council, "Steel as the primary structural building material, with its inherent recyclable nature and its efficiency of assembly, is the logical and responsible choice for Green Building."
Wood buildings promote mold and mildew problems and invite termite infestations. People with asthma and allergy sensitivities may find mold, mildew, and termite treatments aggravate breathing problems. Steel is inorganic. It is immune to mold, mildew, and termites.
The more rec buildings constructed with steel instead of wood, the fewer trees wasted for lumber.
Live trees clean our environment, scrubbing carbon dioxide from the air and replenishing the atmosphere with life-giving oxygen. Sacrificed to produce building lumber, dead trees not only stop cleaning the air, they actually release their stored carbon back into the atmosphere!
A well-insulated steel building cuts not only utility costs, but also diminishes outside noise from infiltrating the building. That is another big advantage for recreational buildings, which tend to be filled with people engaged in noisy activities.
RHINO Steel Building Systems ships pre-engineered metal building kits all across North America.
Every RHINO order meets or exceeds all current local building codes for the lifetime of the structure. RHINO also strives to meet or exceed all our customers' expectations for every project.

Yesterday, The Independent visited the new Gaza mall and discovered something that should have movers and shakers in the boycott-divestment-sanctions movement (BDS) scratching their heads:
The difference is that most consumer goods were previously smuggled through the tunnels from Egypt – whereas the mall's managers say 90 percent of its new stock is imported from Israel.
How does that square with the Olympia Food Co-op's boycott of Israeli products?
Sounds like the co-op and its Facebook supporters are acting more Palestinian than the Palestinians.

Listed below are links to weblogs that reference Olympia Food Co-Op Boycotts Israeli Goods, Gaza Mall Doesn't:
This particular boycott used information obtained from known anti semitic sources to justify their actions. The "tear down the wall" crowd never mentions the suicide bomber nor numerous other countries that have built walls, including the U.S. to keep out unwanted intrusions. To compare Israels actions as violating the rights of the Palestinians is simply ignorance of the facts.

The Hottest Dancing With The Stars Hookups
A little romance is inevitable when beautiful people in very little clothing are spending a lot of time in close quarters for long hours and are asked to look into each other's eyes. Dancing with the Stars (DWTS) has been around for 25 seasons and throughout the years there have been a number of really hot hookups. Here are the 15 hottest:
15. Shannon Elizabeth and Derek Hough
Shannon Elizabeth and dance partner Derek Hough took their chemistry off stage after partnering for season six in 2008. The pair dated for more than a year after the show ended and even moved in together. "When I competed I always fell in love with my partners," Derek revealed to USA Today. The couple ended up splitting, but Derek maintains that Elizabeth is still his girl.
14. Julianne Hough and Chuck Wicks
Season nine viewers were delighted to watch these two heat things up on and off the dance floor, but country singer Chuck Wicks and pro dancer/singer/actress, Julianne Hough, just couldn't find the time to make it work. Oh, and Julianne fell for Ryan Seacrest while they were still together. Julianne confessed to Glamour, "I had another boyfriend, Chuck Wicks, whom I met on Dancing With the Stars. While we were dating, we went on Ryan's radio show together." Seacrest hit on Hough the whole time despite Wick's presence. "At the end, Ryan said something like, 'You guys really have something special!' And I thought to myself, 'He's so full of sh-t right now.'" Hough and Seacrest dated for three years after Julianne's split from Chuck.

CIA human rights abuses using drugs:
1. Given the long track record of human rights abuses against both foreign and US citizens by the CIA, do not the crack allegations exemplify the rule rather than the exception of CIA practice? In other words, isn t the crack trade in line with the types of things the CIA has been doing all along mafia connections, murder, torture, lying, illegal trade, coverups, gun running, defying Congress, defying the President?
2. Given the track record of cover-ups by US government and media of CIA crimes, would that not cause a prudent person to conclude that the major US institutions are complicit in these crimes at least as after-the-fact accomplices?
3. If the CIA did start the crack epidemic in the US and major US institutions insist on whitewashing it, what should we what can we do about it?
The first question If the allegations of drug dealing by the CIA were an isolated incident in an otherwise exemplary CIA history, the charges would be hard to believe. But in the context of many deceptive, bloody and illegal acts by the CIA, the drug charges are quite believable. In fact, it might be the tip of the iceberg. The CIA is probably involved in gun running all over the world and possibly involved in world-wide drug running as well. Hard to believe? Consider the following.
The first of the 3 questions refers to a long string of CIA abuses and usurpations. The CIA formed an intelligence service in Haiti in the mid-80's which engaged in drug trafficking (NYT 11/14/93). Then the CIA secretly funded the Haitian junta which overthrew democratically-elected President Aristide when he was elected in 1991. When President Clinton cut off $1.5 million of US aid to the junta, the CIA secretly gave the junta the same amount. Then when Clinton wanted to re-install Aristide, the CIA undermined Clinton by publically calling Aristide violent and unstable. Who is in charge here? Is the tail wagging the dog? As we speak, a former CIA-paid death squad leader, Emanuel Constant, is given asylum in the US rather than either being prosecuted or extradited to Haiti to face justice (Sun 7/26/96).
Recent revelations of CIA involvement in the assassinations of US citizens, not to speak of thousands of nationals, in Guatemala have been substantiated. The Intelligence Oversight Board, a presidential panel confirms that the Guatemalan husband of US attorney and Harvard graduate Jennifer Harbury was killed by a CIA paid agent in 1992 (NYT 3/24/96). Similarly, another US citizen and tavern owner in Guatemala, Michael DeVine, was killed by another CIA paid agent in 1990 (NYT 3/24/96). No one in the CIA has been indicted or brought to justice for these crimes, much less for the murder of many Guatemalans. As in Haiti, when the White House cut off aid to the Guatemalan government in reaction to these murders, the CIA secretly gave the Guatemalans millions of dollars (NYT 3/24/96).
Similarly, in Honduras, according to the prize-winning and exceptional series in the Baltimore Sun last year, the CIA was involved in tortures and political assassinations by Battalion 316 there during the 1980's. No CIA personnel have been indicted or prosecuted for these murders of student and labor activists.
The wars in Central America are replete with examples of CIA impunity. A cocaine cartel money launderer testified to Congress that he sent $10 million to the contras through CIA operative Felix Rodriguez (Washington Post 6/30/87). A former CIA agent testified at the Iran-Contra hearings that the CIA secretly continued to aid the contras at a time that Congress prohibited such aid (NYT 8/1/92). We are talking about thousands of murders of women and children, and countless rapes, by the Contras in Nicaragua from 1981 to 1989. We are talking about deliberate defiance of US Congress and US law.
How far do we want to go back: to the CIA-engineered overthrow of democratically- elected Mosadek in 1953; to the CIA-engineered overthrow of democratically-elected Arbenz in Guatemala in 1954; to the CIA-engineered overthrow of Sukarno in Indonesia in 1966, resulting in the government killing of at least half a million people; to the CIA- engineered overthrow of democratically-elected Allende in Chile in 1973. All these presidents were followed by brutal dictators who tortured and murdered thousands of their citizens. The CIA is full of bloody, mafia-connected criminals and fanatic Cold Warriors who believe that totalitarian oppression is preferable to communism and evidently to democracy as well.
The point is: why are we surprised at allegations of CIA fund-raising for the contras by means of pushing drugs in an increasingly radical US Black population? Even Hollywood, in the movie Panther, written and directed by Mario Van Peebles, revealed such a deliberate policy by government agents in Black communities in the late 60's to undercut popular support of the growing Black Panther Party during the Vietnam War.
The CIA has a longstanding alliance with the criminal underworld in heroin and cocaine trafficking, much of it exposed in The Politics of Heroin in Southeast Asia by Alfred W. McCoy (Harper & Row, 1972). The CIA, McCoy writes, formed an alliance with the drug- dealing mafia in Sicily after World War II to prevent the Italian Communist Party from winning Italy s national elections. The CIA made a deal with Corsican gangsters to smuggle tons of heroin into the US from Marseille, France in return for their smashing the left-wing dockworkers strikes there in 1947 and 1950. During the Vietnam War the CIA s Air America flew tons of heroin out of Laos, destined for the growing heroin market in the US, McCoy writes.
Newsweek ran a story headlined Guns for Drugs about a CIA Arms Supermarket based in Honduras and funded by cocaine profits that was traced to the office of Vice President George Bush. Lt. Col Oliver North s notebook contained a cryptic entry, July 12, 1985, that the White House plans to seize all...when Supermarket comes to bad end. $14 M[illion] to finance comes from drugs.
The second question Given the track record of cover-ups by US government and media of CIA crimes, would that not cause a prudent person to conclude that the major US institutions are complicit in these crimes at least as after-the-fact accomplices?
One does not have to believe in a giant conspiracy to realize the centers of power want to do damage control and cut losses to CIA credibility. Unfortunately, by whitewashing the CIA s crimes against humanity, the US Executive, Legislative and Judicial Branches have discredited the entire US government. The corporate-controlled mass media has also for the most part whitewashed the CIA crack connection and has thereby discredited the concept of a US free press.
Why didn t President Clinton cause heads to roll at CIA headquarters for their sabotage of his Haitian policy? Why did Clinton increase the CIA s budget by $2 billion just this month now of all times? Why does the Congressional Intelligence Oversight Committee include people like Arlan Spector, the inventor of the magic bullet theory, which claimed a single bullet could go through Governor Connelly, make a U-turn and then kill JFK? Why hasn t Congress investigated and condemned the many CIA crimes? Why are only Black Congressional members up in arms over the CIA crack connection? Why have the US courts refused for 200 years to provide checks and balances to counter illegal foreign policies by the US government, but yet will charge, indict, prosecute and even allow an invasion, then the kidnapping and incarceration of, a foreign president Manuel Noriega who defied his CIA sponsors by trying to retain control of the Panama Canal? The courts in the US are just as deferential to the CIA as the German courts were to Adolf Hitler. When the Christic Institute sued to stop CIA drug running 10 years ago, the court ruled the suit frivolous and fined the plaintiffs $1.2 million, bankrupting and destroying the Christic Institute.
The third question If the CIA did start the crack epidemic in the US and major US institutions insist on whitewashing it, what should we what can we do about it?
The truth may never be proven because the CIA paper shredders are probably working overtime as we speak. However, in the context of the pattern of proven CIA crimes, it is obvious that the CIA facilitated the importing of heroin and cocaine for years and quite believable that they subsequently facilitated the influx of crack to Los Angeles to finance the contra war.
Even though the enormity of the crime makes Watergate look small in comparison, the government and media (not to speak of the presidential candidates) are ignoring it. In so doing, the US government is perpetrating war upon the American people, not to speak of the planet. The question of what to do about it may be found in the US Declaration of Independence: When a long train of abuses and usurpations...evinces a design to reduce them under absolute despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such government and to provide new guards for their future security.
For years we have tried to stop the abuses and usurpations by all legal means: elections, demonstrations, legislation, and litigation. 10 years ago, 355 people were arrested blocking CIA headquarters in Langley (NYT 4/28/87). The CIA criminals and their protectors are immune and all powerful. They are part of the largest industry in the world: drugs, which has a stranglehold on the economy, on civil society and on the body politic. Now is the time for people of conscience to commit their lives, their fortunes and their sacred honor to free humanity from the greatest form of slavery ever devised in the history of mankind.
As in wartime Germany, there are 3 kinds of citizens here: 1) the ones who perpetrate any crime to attain their ends, 2) the majority who go along with the criminals either because they cannot believe the enormity of the crimes or are too afraid to oppose them, and 3) the small minority who actively oppose the criminals, regardless of cost.
What is to be done? What would these Americans do: Thomas Jefferson, George Washington, Ethan Allan, Crispus Attucks, Thomas Paine, Daniel Shays, John Brown, Abraham Lincoln, Frederick Douglass, Nat Turner, Sitting Bull...
The above questions were submitted for discussion at the John Hopkins University CIA- crack panel, October 29, 1996, by Richard Ochs, member of the Baltimore Emergency Response Network, whose members have counted hundreds of arrests for resisting US policy in Central America for 15 years, including ejection from the JHU campus for protesting CIA recruiters there. Richard Ochs was the founding chairman of the Students for a Democratic Society in 1964 at the University of Maryland in College Park. For documentation on the above information, call 243-2077.

Pain is a funny thing.
I have seven chronic medical conditions that cause pain. One is said to be the most painful disorder known to modern medicine. The first of the seven started when I was just a kid – scoliosis. The last started just a couple weeks ago – insane muscle cramps. Whenever medical folk ask me where the pain is, I tell them the easier answer would be where the pain is not.
Every time something new hurts, though, it's the worst pain ever. The muscle cramps had me screaming for the better part of six hours. On the upside, it was one of the fastest ER visits I've ever had. Unfortunately, it was also one of the "We can't find anything wrong, here's some drugs, go home" ER visits. I've had a lot of those.
Sewing last night and early this morning, I was working with a very stiff fabric. Bad idea, won't ever buy that again. I wound up having to put a band-aid on my thumb I use to push the needle through. Not because it broke the skin; it didn't. But because it eclipsed the pain in my mouth. Which is good and bad, I suppose. It's bad that I was having more pain somewhere else. But it's good that the new pain distracted from the slightly older pain.
Pain medication makes life much more frustrating.
I'm foggy-brained enough without the side effects of Norco. I'll start to do something, and in the middle of it, forget what it was I was doing. I lose track in conversations. Half the time, I don't know what day it is. I once famously asked Daddy for 10's three turns in a row playing Go Fish with him, Little Man, and Lulu.
But this is a whole new level of fog. I spent five minutes trying to thread the wrong end of a needle. Where there's no hole. At all. A couple hexies after that, I was confused because the end of the thread wasn't showing up as I pulled the needle through the fabric. I completely missed that I hadn't threaded the needle at all that time.
Pain management is a whole 'nother ball game.
It's a toss-up, then. Do I want to be physically miserable, i.e. in pain, or psychically miserable, i.e. brain fogged? I've tried for 20 years to find the balance between the two. Generally, I lean towards gently creating pain elsewhere, to distract from the existing pain. I don't want to injure myself. This isn't self-harm. It's little things like digging a knuckle into a pressure point. Last night's sewing.
Then there are days like this. Recovering from surgery, fighting a fever, and every pain condition flares up. I've seen people jokingly say "My everything hurts," but for me, that's the gods' honest truth. Wait, I take that back. My left ankle feels ok right now.
However, above all the pain, I strive to avoid suffering. I have a quote on a post-it note stuck to my monitor that says, "Pain creates suffering only when you refuse to accept the pain." I've long since accepted the pain. I haven't given up on eliminating it by any means fair or foul. But it's there. It's part of me. It's part of my authentic life.

Im feeling worse now and am really struggling. Im head achy, lethargic and feel terrible. I have an appointment tomorrow to ask if there's any way i can have any medication now. My results were , TSH 1.19 AND T4 6.3. Everywhere i look seem to give different ranges, so please any advice would be greatly appreciated. ( My surgery couldn't tell me the ranges that the lab use)

In the meantime here is a video from one of our contributors Bjarne Sahlen, about Andreas Fransson's first ski descent of the east couloir on Grand gendarmde d'Envers du Plan last April. Some very steep skiing and tricky rope work was required to ski this line, very impressive!

Map of the port area
The Port
Facts and figures
- Commissioning date: 1899
- Logistics Center and industrial area
- 300 companies with 5.000 employees offer their services in the port area
- The Port of Dortmund is accessible via ship, railroad and truck
- The port disposes on continental as well as intercontinental level of direct traffic connections of these three transport carriers
- Total size: a total of 1.7 million square meters, of it 35 hectare water area
- 10 port basins
- 11 kilometers of embankments
- Main transshipment cargo: containers, bulk commodities, mineral oil products, general cargo
- Uundertakes important functions for Central Europe and the seaports of Zeebrugge, Antwerp, Rotterdam, Amsterdam (the so-called ZARA-ports) and the German seaports.
The port is directly connected to the entire European traffic system. This means: the Port of Dortmund has a trimodal orientation and is accessible via ship, railroad and truck.
From here, the continental fine distribution of goods as well as exports and imports via the ZARA-ports and the German ports of the North Sea are carried out.
The competence in logistics of the Port of Dortmund results from the collaboration of the Dortmunder Hafen AG and its associated companies with the enterprises located in the port area:
- Dortmunder Hafen AG: property and floor space management, maintenance of water areas and basins.
- Dortmunder Eisenbahn: the associated company of the Dortmunder Hafen AG provides rail transports in the port area as well as on a regional, national and international level. It is in addition in charge of the rail infrastructure in the port area and therefore responsible for the connection of the adjacent owners in the port area to the rail network.
- Container Terminal Dortmund (CTD): Container terminal in the Port of Dortmund which also has a completely trimodal rientation. The Container Terminal Dortmund GmbH is also an associated company of the Dortmunder Hafen AG.
- The adjacent owners in the port area: forwarding and transshipment agencies providing the necessary equipment like cranes, crane bridges, pipelines, storage areas, halls etc.

One of the less well-known islands of the Indonesian archipelago, Sumatra remains relatively untamed – a quiet getaway with a good measure of unpredictability. Words and pictures by Gretchen Ferrao.
Gateway to the north
The descent into the island of Medan is postcard perfect, with ribbons of greenery bending around the bright blue sea.
An hour later, we arrive at Maimun Palace. The 2,000-odd-square-metre property at the centre of the sultanate of Deli was built between 1887 and 1891. Conceptualised by an Italian, its Malay and Indo-Mughal design influences are visible along exteriors with a mix of minarets and timber tiered roofing. A tour of the 30-room palace, however, isn't as elaborate as you'd expect, given that only its main room is open to the public. If you're not a design nerd, look out for the cute local kidswho rent out traditional costumes at the venue to make believe they're in a royal period drama. Or for the live music performances in the mornings (between 10am and 2pm) on weekdays and at 2pm on weekends.
Our next stop is Graha Maria Annai Velangkanni, a Catholic shrine that's said to be modelled on the Velankanni Church near Chennai. While Chennai's is iconically white with Portuguese influences, the one in Medan flaunts Indo-Mughal design with a palette picked straight off a cassata. The Medan shrine was initiated and designed by an Indian Jesuit missionary in 2005. This probably explains the curiously south Indian features of all the paintings within.
Where the light is
Later that day we bumped along, up undulating terrain until we were in the volcanic hills of Berastagi (1,300m). Once the summer retreat of Dutch traders, the region remains popular among locals and tourists looking to escape the urban hot pot that is Medan. Gaining second wind in this cool-crisp mountain setting, we head out to the town's main market. En route, we observe in morbid awe the cloak of grey shrouding everything in sight. And then we catch sight of the culprit: the coughing (as our tour guides refer to it) and still sporadically active volcano Mount Sinabung. Along with Mount Sibayak, it is a hiking trail on every visiting trekker's list.
Trading fitness for food and flowers, we wander about the market. From the peachy sweetness of kasma (Berastagi apple) to the indigo-marbled texture of the papino fruit and cacti in pink – the sheer variety of colour and texture around us triggers a minor Instagrampage. It's all very charming, barring the dozens of bunnies and a pair of pups round the bend. We won't get into the details of their fate; let's just say we couldn't stomach it this time.
Culture course
A visit to Sipiso Piso falls is an ideal way to kick-start the day. On the 45-minute drive there from Berastagi, we pass farmers at work in tomato fields, quirky looking eateries, gabled-roofed homes with lavish adjoining cemeteries. Our guide, Pah Roy, explains that status after death is just as important among the Bataks. We get a crash course on the community: traditionally, women are the breadwinners; men while away time playing chess or an instrument; the pair of horns atop houses is reminiscent of a bull, a symbol of status. At Sipiso Piso, we trek halfway down to take in the 120-metre-high waterfall overlooking Lake Toba.
Re-energised, we make a quick stopover at the Simalungun king's palace. A village in itself, the complex is a display of traditional Batak architecture. That is, linear planned, wooden-stilt and palm-leaf houses with a pair of horns atop the front end and what resembles a tail at the rear. Every structure is colour coded a symbolic red (zest for life), white (piety) and black (ignorance/death). We climb into the largest one to find rows of open living spaces, each furnished with a rudimentary cooking set-up and sleeping area.
Natural order
After the half-hour ferry across the ocean-esque Lake Toba to Samosir Island, we get off at Tomok village, where Pah Roy herds us up a narrow lane to King Sidabutar's tomb. The memorial houses three tombs: the first Christian Batak king, the missionary who converted the tribe and that of another royal. Sidabutar's tomb, the most elaborate of the three, displays carvings of himself, his bodyguard, his unrequited love as well as other mythical creatures.
Ambarita, our last stop for the day, is visited for the ancient, megalithic stone set-up in the settlement of Huta Siallagan. At the megalith site is a communal table setting of sorts, once a gathering place for the elders to decide on the fate of wrongdoers. A stone's throw away, is the area where the guilty were sentenced and either beheaded or disembowelled. On that fatalistic note, we retreated to Toledo Inn for the night.

Yeah, I think that would be cool, too, but a Google search on her name didn't turn up anything. Does anyone know anything about what she's done since?
- October 12, 2006 at 10:39 AM
I've actually read about this artist in a few textile books about women and and textile history. but nothing turns up on search. maybe the name is mispelled
- February 19, 2008 at 9:02 AM
You're right about the misspelling; her last name is Rapoport. You still won't find much on her on the net, but you can check out an amazing hat she did in the early 1990s in "Artwear: Fashion and Anti-fashion"

Listen, Act, Live
Wisconsin's Tornado and Severe Weather Awareness Week is April 16-20.
For the first time, radio, TV and cable channels will participate in the statewide Tornado Drill on Thursday, April 19, with a mock Tornado Watch at 1 p.m. and a mock Tornado Warning at 1:45 p.m.
This is a great time to make sure your family is ready for tornado season. It is also a great time to remember the important lessons learned from last year's tornado outbreaks across the country.
On May 22, 2011, one of the deadliest tornados in U.S. history hit Joplin, Mo., directly killing 159 people and injuring over 1,000. The massive EF-5 with winds over 200 mph hit the city of more than 50,000. That's about the same size as Janesville.
Despite the tornado warnings why were there so many deaths? A National Weather Service study on the Joplin tornado reveals important lessons learned: A majority of residents did not immediately seek shelter when tornado warnings were issued. People needed between two and nine warnings to take action and seek shelter. For example, if they heard the sirens going off they would look in the sky, then go to a TV to get information and then call a friend, etc. The time it took between those warnings and seeking shelter cost lives.
What can you do? Listen, act and live during tornado season.
Listen: When severe weather is possible – a thunderstorm or Tornado Watch has been issued – pick a credible source of information and keep in touch with that source until the danger has past. One of the best tools is a NOAA Weather Radio, also know as an Emergency Weather Radio.
Act: When you hear a Tornado Warning (tornado seen by spotters or detected on radar) seek the best shelter you can find immediately. Don't waste time checking multiple sources of information. You may have only seconds to find a safe place.
Live: Your chances of survival multiply. Hopefully, the storm will pass with no damage. But don't risk your life on a hope.
For more information visit the ReadyWisconsin website at http://readywisconsin.wi.gov. You'll find great information on how to protect you and your family from tornadoes and other severe weather threats. You can also see tornado survival stories from those who lived through disaster thanks to their emergency weather radio.
Andrew Carlin is the director of Waupaca County Emergency Management.
