The date 12/21/12 was not the end of the Mayan calendar. It was the final intercalary benchmark that started a 1,365 day countdoun to the end of the Mayan calendar on 9/16/2016.
I can offer mathematical confirmation here:
The "Mayan" calendar is actually a countdown to the beginning of the "End of the Age", starting with the birth of Lamech. Its origins are pre-Mayan...antediluvian to be exact.
Jesus is returning mid September of 2023. That is 7 years after 9/16/2016. On the day of 9/16/2016 the believers in Christ will be removed from the face of the Earth, and God will pour out his wrath on the Earth for 7 years so that the remaining might repent.
All of this can be avoided if you believe that Jesus died for our sins on the cross. If you believe that, then you will be resurrected on 9/16/2016, and taken into heaven.
These calculations have been confirmed supernaturally via prophecy:
Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you will be saved.

There are much worse things to devote time to. I'll take a good 2012 dead horse discussion over most of what passes for current cultural touchstones - Beebs or that mullet boy Cyrus's daughter, or that family of Armenians (including their significant whatevers) who destroyed Bruce Jenner. Tip o' the iceberg of what I find non-interesting.
And there you go.

I'd like to see someone post a thread saying that 2012 was not supposed to be a cataclysmic event in the traditional sense, but a paradigm change. I think that there's a good argument for a paradigm change.

SOURCE: Hinto Energy, Inc.
July 02, 2013 14:36 ET
DENVER, CO--(Marketwired - Jul 2, 2013) - HINTO ENERGY, INC. (OTCQB: HENI) is pleased announce the acquisition of a 100% working interest in 9 natural gas wells and approximately 4,400 gross leased acres in the Cisco Springs oil and gas field, in the Uintah Basin of Grand County, Utah from Pride Ventures. The company is planning to connect the gas wells of its other Cisco holdings into the newly acquired local gas gathering system, as soon as proper testing and evaluation is completed.
George Harris, the Company's Chief Executive Officer, remarked, "We have been working to acquire this Cisco acreage for the past year. The property is adjacent to the Company's existing Cisco leases and increases holdings in the area to over 9,000 acres and 35 wells. The leases being acquired include a natural gas gathering system connected to a local pipeline that greatly simplifies collection and sale of natural gas from existing Company gas wells in the area. The recent rise of natural gas prices continues to make the production economics of shallow gas in the area attractive."
In addition to existing production and rework opportunities, the Company believes the leases acquired provide significant potential for drilling additional oil and gas wells. The Company will continue to look at opportunities to expand its lease holdings in the Greater Cisco area.
Hinto Energy, Inc. engages in the exploration, acquisition, and development of oil and gas properties. The company was formerly known as Garner Investments, Inc. and changed its name to Hinto Energy, Inc. in September 2011. The company was founded in 2011 and is based in Arvada, Colorado.

I love you and have so much to tell this week, lots have happened and I hope I can tell you all I can! I dont have much time but let us go through the week!
Monday we had a appointment with a member and had some other members there as well, it was good. Tuesday we had zone training in Munich and came back for Ward Council. Wednesday we had a couple appointments with members and also did service from our investigator Frau Sherer. Throughout these days I hadnt started packing yet until Tuesday night but I did get everything ready and we went by to say our last goodbyes. Also something on Monday we get a call from President and said that the 3rd wont be coming and so it will just be those two in Rosenheim! Pretty crazy!! Thursday came and I was out of Rosenheim for the last time, it was crazy to drive out of there on train and remember all the great experiences there. A lot was learned and will be taken to the next step. A busy day on trains with missionaries all coming and going but finally got in that night and actually got picked up from a member in a Porsche! This city and ward is going to be great, I already know it! We went by on a less active that night. Friday we had a meeting with all the District leaders and also had a lesson with a new investigator at the YSA center, we showed him around and then had a great lesson. His name is Samuel and is such a cool guy. I think we will see some good progress with him! Saturday we played soccer at the church with a new convert that just was baptized on Monday here in Stuttgart, we played with some others and well and it was great! Sunday we had church at 1 in the afternoon which was way different, we have both a English and German ward here. We are in the German ward but also talked with some English members which was neat. After church I experience a way neat miracle, as I was introducing myself to members one came up to me and asked if we could go by her son this week who is not a member. She had a feeling come over her in sacrament meeting that now was the right time. Its so neat the many miracles and blessing we received as we do our part in being obedient and being diligence, blessings are given in many unseen ways!
I know that God loves all his children and wants all of them to come back to him some day. Its only through the gospel of Jesus Chirst that we can make it back and how neat it is that we can share that message with all to help them come back to their father. I know as we recommit to serve the Lord daily we will be happy and share that joy with others in our service. It does more miracles than we can image! Sorry for having it short but not much time this week. I love you all so dearly and hope you have a great week!
Much love,

(Haaretz).A crisis erupted between Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and German Chancellor Angela Merkel. During a telephone call this week, Merkel told Netanyahu that he had disappointed her and had done nothing to advance peace, sources told Haaretz.
A senior German source said Netanyahu had called Merkel on Monday, following the American veto in the UN Security Council last Friday and Germany's vote in favor of the Palestinian proposal to condemn construction in West Bank settlements.
The conversation between the two leaders was extremely tense and included mutual accusations and harsh statements, the official said.
Netanyahu told Merkel he was disappointed by Germany's vote and by Merkel's refusal to accept Israel's requests before the vote, the source added. Merkel was furious.
"How dare you," she said, "You are the one who disappointed us. You haven't made a single step to advance peace."
The prime minister assured Merkel that he intended to launch a new peace plan that would be a continuation of his Bar-Ilan University speech, given in June 2009, in which he agreed to establishing a Palestinian state, the official revealed.
"I intend to make a new speech about the peace process in two to three weeks" .
The German chancellor and her advisers, who have been repeatedly disappointed by Netanyahu's inaccurate statements and failure to keep promises, did not believe a word of what the prime minister told her, the source said.
A non-government source told Haaretz that Netanyahu and his advisers are working on a speech that would outline an alternative to the interim agreement with the Palestinians, similar to Lieberman's plan. That initiative, which Haaretz reported on a month ago, consists of establishing a Palestinian state within temporary borders on about 50 percent of the West Bank.

Hey guys,
So exciting news, yesterday my coach and dear friend delivered her baby girl Arynn Dawn (her middle name is in honor of my Dad which is probably one of the most special things ever) and she is beautiful. I'm so lucky to be an honorary aunt to all her kids.
In honour of the baby girl showing you this gorgeous pink just seemed right.
This one was hard to get my hands on it seemed to ALWAYS be out of stock, of course now that I've said that I'm sure it won't be hard to find.
This is 3 coats.

The other day just casually I was going through my FB account and something struck me. While going through the pages I saw some 4-5 links and photographs related to women equality and their so called 'independence '. The major thing that forced me to think was the statement following those links and photographs, "share if u respect women" and not to be much surprised I saw tonnes had shared it and millions had liked it. This took me through a series of thoughts. Isn't it a deceptive act? Will just sharing the links and photos make it a way to independent women in our society??? And a bigg question mark in front of it.
Look at the irony of our society, the public who liked and shared it, atleast 98% of them did not mean it because they do not practice it in their own life. This is not a issuse that can be solved electronically, it has to be solved mentally. Each and every mind is to be reached and made aware of women equality. Basically, the question to the society is, who are men to give women equality? Who has given them the authority to rule over women? God created woman and man each with some special qualities. The one which men is having the women doesnt have, but at the same time the one which women is having the men doest have it. Ultimately at the end it sums up to be equal. So, men are in no way superior to women. How can men give equality or independence to women which they dont have authority to?? Thats the point, women dont have to ask for equality, its their own belonging they just need to cherish it. It is not a favour that men will do, it is our birth right to live with equality and self esteem. Indian society being a kind of two extremes, when one woman rules the corporate world, on the other hand in rural india a woman can't even rule her own mind and thoughts. This is where we have to work together and bring each and every women out of this inequality puddle.
Why is a woman always associated to kitchen? No one can draw limitational lines for her and her abilities. She is not a docile lamb to act according to this mulish society. Biological differences cant be the basis of one's independence. These biological differences doesnt make woman vulnerable to inequality and restrictions, it is the pernicious mentality and the wicked views of the society that forces a woman to be vulnerable to the vile inequality. This obstinate behaviour of society towards women affronts the whole female community to alienate with the society which has ferociously hurted the self esteem of woman. She has the courage and competence to emerge as a supernova with her own efforts and splendor. There is no need of any 'women empowerment' program because women are already powerful, if there is any need, it is to start 'Men Mentality Empowerment ' program, because its time to mend these weak minds and thoughts.
Being woman! Shining woman!

Having decided on a plan to look at the swims
at Limply Stoke and get to know the features.
I took the usual kit plus the float rod
and maggots over ground bait.
On arriving at the field at 12.00, I was
surprised to find a small herd of calfs.
I mixed the ground bait and and put in
three orange size balls straight away
plus some maggots and pellets.
I first of all set up the usual ledger rods,
and cast out to both banks down stream.
Then I settled down to loose feed
6 - 10 maggots every few minutes
down the float line.
I now heard some snuffling behind me
and turned round to find the calfs
taking an interest in what I was doing.
Well they got bored quite quickly
and went back to eating grass.
I started getting some interest
on the far bank rod and
so extended the landing net handle
and placed it on the edge of the bank.
The far bank rod then pulled round
and a Chub then ran towards the
rushes. I manged to turn it and the fish then
tried to get into some reeds
in the middle of the river.
Well again it failed to get to them.
I bent down to pick up the landing net
when "CRACK" the landing net handle
So with only half a handle
I had to jump down the six foot
to the bottom of the bank.
Well I landed the Chub and then had to
climb back up. Not to easy with my bad ankle.
Anyway this 2lb 12oz Chub
was my prize.
The youngsters were back but soon
turned away bored.
Anyway a few trots down the float line
proved that only small fish were
showing interest in the maggots.
I decided to drop a ledgered pellet
on the ground bait and sat back to
await the out come.
Half an hour later,
after an other visit from the locals,
The pellet gobbled down the pellet
and this 2lb 15oz fella was in the net.
With another Chub to the far bank
rod coming in at 2lb 8oz,
I then went back to the float.
I had a very pleasant hour and a half
Dace, small Chub and minnows.
The float line was in line with the
rod rest down a drop off.
Well as it was getting dark
I packed up and said good bye
to my little friends.
I am now trying to repair
the landing net handle
and look for a new one.

A council with long-range vision?
My comments at the city council meeting at the Aylmer service centre, September 19, were mentioned in the Bulletin, and I would like to expand on my point about the excessive number of permits being given out for condo construction.
As anyone can notice driving through the Plateau, there are for-sale signs in the windows of pretty much every condo building in the area. People can't sell them.
The main reason is that new condos are being built constantly. Many are on the Plateau, not far from Grives Blvd. Others are closer to central Aylmer, such as what's going up over Galeries Aylmer.
New units will sell. New constructions are popular. The problem is that many people purchasing these units plan to sell them in a few years to upgrade to a house. They find themselves trapped. The constant addition of more condo units exacerbates the problem.
In the case of units designed for seniors, they tend to draw in people who were renting elsewhere, often within a few blocks. This makes it very difficult for older units to rent, and they often sit empty. Just look at how long for-rent signs stay in front of the units on Wilfrid Lavigne between North and de la Corse.
Clearly, the developers who are building these units are an important source of revenue for the city. However, this comes at the cost of urban sprawl, something that will last for generations.
We need elected officials who think more of the medium- to long-term, to encourage development of commercial and communal areas within residential zones where residents can feel a sense of community. Central Aylmer has rue Principale, but many other neighbourhoods get nothing but condos and the occasional mall - accessible only by car. Not much to give a neighbourhood soul.
Strong leadership and the willingness to say no to the highest bidding developers will give us thriving neighbourhoods instead of just row after row of condos, of which many may soon sit empty.

"Impurities (Najasah)"
[pg. 6 paragraph: 3], He (Sayyid Sabiq) says in this paragraph:
[pg. 6 paragraph: 3], He (Sayyid Sabiq) says in this paragraph:
I say: In fact, there are proofs justifying the impurity of the skin of dead animals in so many well-known hadeets, for example, his saying:
"إذا دبغ الإهاب فقد طهر – Any dead animal's skin which has been tanned, it becomes pure"
narrated by Muslim and others. Its takhreej is given in "Ghayat al-Maram fie Takhreej Ahadeets al-Halaal wa al-Haraam" pgs 25-29. In Nayl al-Awtar: 1/53-54 too, as well as other books, such that I do not know why the author (Sayyid) made no mention of them or rejected them. It is indeed very strange that he actually mentioned in this topic, the hadeets of Ibn 'Abbaas, the story of Maimunah's ewe/sheep, which contains the Prophet's saying:
" هلا أخذتم إهابها فدبغتموه فانتفعتم به - why don't you take its skin and tan it such that you benefit from it"It is an explicit clear that to make use of it, it must be tanned. Yet, most probably, the reason for him (Sayyid) not taking this as a valid justifiable proof, is his reason: "This is not to be taken into account, according to the scholars, as the issue is with the additional phrase, especially when there are many Shawahid (supportive narrations) as previously mentioned, and for this reason al-Hafiz said in his explanation on Bukhariy's hadeets: 9/658:
"az-Zuhriy used this as a proof for the permissibility of using dead animals' skin without restriction (مطلقا) or unconditional as to whether it has been tanned or without tanning, but the restriction is valid as to the condition of it being tanned, in many other routes of narration."
Then I noticed that the author concluded what is righteous and correct, at the end of this topic, under the issue: "تطهير جلد الميتة " [pg.15] and he justified it on the grounds of the hadeets narrated by Muslim mentioned earlier, but he said: "narrated by al-Bukhariy and Muslim" and thus a mistake.

A quiet day today .Other than Lad leaving us for the warmer climes of Wiltshire(at least thats what I am told) we had a fairly uneventful but beautifully sunny day which went some way to compensating for the lack of animal adoptions and visitors. It gave me time to try my hand at some more photography, as usual most did not turn out very well,but there was an occasional goodie which I have posted here and on Flickr.The photo here is of Celt and Shamrock who are always interested in anything going on, in fact they are downright nosy.They say animals become like their owners and I admit to having a curious nature - ok Im nosy!
I was trying to get a good pic of Jack and Marcasite but these two kept blocking my view. They are three years old now and I can scarcely remember them as the frail foals they were on arrival, especially Shamrock(on right) who was in a dreadful condition at the age of 8 weeks, he was covered in lice and a very bedraggled little fellow.He really was a very plain baby but look at him now! Celt of course was always handsome, he would have won a Bonny baby Horse competition and he has grown into a lovely pony. For once Merlin was not about to share the photo opportunity, he was quite a way off when I appeared with the camera and was unaware otherwise he would have no doubt galloped over and pushed his way to the front of the photo.He is such a poser.Jack has befriended Marcasite one of four ponies from the same owner Christine, they are inseperable at the moment.Iam so pleased for him, he has never been on his own before and he seems very contented today.
The pigs have had a mud bath today courtesy of Cariad and her children and they thoroughly enjoyed wallowing in it - even the pigs enjoyed it! The mud will help prevent the pigs from becoming sunburned, always a concern in this weather though Charlotte managed to spray some factor 50 on the pinkies back before she waddled off.
Did I mention the spaniels which have been returned? I am upset they have not been walked for 6 months and we were not informed of the change in circumstances at that point but I will do my best to ensure that this will not happen in the next home.I think I will get people to fill out a form with their medical history! Seriously though, nobody can foresee a change in health but to wait 6 months and in the meantime allow the dogs to become obese through lack of exercise in not on at all. and believe me they ARE Obese!
They are such fantastic animals, I would be tempted to have them myself if I had not already added to my canine family, well it looks like I have due to the fact that Gel and Dingo seem to have become permanent residents.I have had nobody interested in either and time is going by, they are so settled with me now.
Spaniels are not my favourite breed but these two middle aged ones have such great temperaments and they are wonderful with cats too.(always a saving grace in my eyes)
I wonder if a video of them might help find them a nice home? I will try to do that tomorrow.
Re the cat situation /volunteer taking cats to be destroyed, nobody was in today, will try again tomorrow to try to repossess the third cat.

Does it have to be a conspiracy?
I said:
Ok did someone spill it that Milly loves a good conspiracy theory? I'm brushing up on them for my trip to Dallas It's for my Rep friends, they need to be informed. ;-} They need Tex Mex, rock music, and a good conspiracy theory.
I also posted my theory http://millytime.blogspot.com/2007/05/i-have-theory.html

Magicians and con men know the trick well: using misdirection to draw their audience's attention away from seeing how they perform an illusion or take their money.
Donald Trump performs misdirection on a much bigger scale. By revving up his base with childish insults of political opponents and protesters, he turns their attention away from him picking their pockets and making their health care disappear.
Tax cuts would be one of his biggest tricks. Trump is trying to sell the lie that his plan for massive tax cuts would largely benefit the middle class, not top earners like himself and the billionaires that he nominated to his Cabinet.
Even with the vague details released so far, the claim is easily disproven. Groups such as the nonpartisan Tax Policy Center have found the proposal would cut taxes for some individuals across all income levels, but the highest-income households would by far see the biggest cuts in both dollar and percentage terms.
Worse yet, Trump's plan would actually cause some middle-class taxpayers to pay an extra $1,000 or more by eliminating deductions and exemptions they now use. They would be stuck with the bill for repealing the estate tax, alternative minimum tax and top tax rate for businesses, all giant giveaways to the wealthy.
Trump was out promoting the proposal recently with truck drivers in Pennsylvania, claiming it would give them a $4,000 pay raise. It turns out the estimate is $4,000 over eight years, based on extremely dubious claims that tax cuts would cause the same corporations who have been hoarding record-high profits for years to suddenly dish out big raises.
A more realistic prospect for truck drivers is as autonomous vehicles take away their jobs over that period, they will have no social safety net to fall back on. Trump's latest efforts to gut the Affordable Care Act might mean lower costs for young and healthy people in no-frills insurance plans, but older and sicker folks will face paying even higher premiums.
If Trump really wanted tax reforms that benefit the working class, a plan like the one introduced by Sen. Sherrod Brown, D-Ohio, would be far better. It would give a tax credit to employers who keep jobs in the U.S. and pay their employees well — while charging a "corporate freeloader fee" on companies paying so little that their workers must use government-assistance programs.
Instead, Trump is looking to pass a plan that would slash his tax bill while adding trillions of dollars to the national debt. Who ends up paying? The working-class voters who helped elected him, unless they stop being distracted by sideshows and see they're being conned.

I went out on a date today. I met this guy on the internet on a dating site. (Yes, I joined a dating site,… )
This is my third attempt at dating. The first try was many months ago with a guy who was what I could only describe as a 'hick' with a potty mouth. No luck there then. Second attempt was with a guy who seemed a bit on the pessimistic side and tended to complain a lot. Every date we went on, he would email me saying I did something wrong. (???) Anyone who knows me knows that I love to laugh and live for the moment so he wasn't for me either. Definitely not one single spark flew.
But today I met someone else. J**. We met at the Tim Hortons here in town and talked over Ice Cappacinos. Let me tell you, the minute I laid eyes on him I knew I would like him. Very nice looking. But more importantly, during our date I learned he was polite, (a must for me) and he loves his children. All top criteria for me. I was actually nervous (as I liked him and didn't want to scare him off) so I had my usual anxiety ridden verbal diarrhea. Yak, yak, yak,… By the time he left I thought there was no way he would call me back. But lo and behold, I got an email saying he enjoyed himself and wanted to see me again. I was really pleased as I did like him a lot. So watch this space,…. You never know what could happen.

As far as television fans are concerned, the most controversial trend this TV season has nothing to do with the V-chip, truth-bending political advertisements or the proliferation of ridiculous Aaron Spelling dramas.
For those who arrange their weeknights around the tube, recent weeks have been unfulfillingly filled with reruns.
Where once repeats were consigned to the post-season summer months, they are now just as likely to pop up right in the middle of the television season.
So what gives?
Well, as with almost everything in TV land, it's a byproduct of the ever-increasing competition between the networks, where programming moves are scrutinized with the kind of ferocity and forethought once reserved for generals concocting battle plans.

Sweater: Magaschoni via Rue La La; Jeans: Ann Taylor Loft;
Booties: Sam Edelman; Scarf: Gift
Sorry that I was MIA yesterday. A sick household does not bode well for blogging! In any event, this is my outfit from Friday. I love jeans day Friday's! I try to push myself to not dress down just because we're allowed to wear jeans. With that being said, this was a little on the casz side because of the boyfriend jeans, but I think the scarf and wedges helped dress it up.
This little sweater is new to the collection and as I put it on Friday morning, my husband said, "that's a cool sweater." Gotta love when the hubs notices something new! Makes you feel a little special. I love the zipper detail which was actually the selling point. And, they really do work! Both from the neck down or the cuff up. And even though there is detail to the sweater, it just needed a little something. This scarf totally pulled it all together. And as for the post title....here's hoping we zip zip through the week!

The Help
So many friends and patrons have enjoyed Kathyrn Stockett's The Help and at last I've had the chance to read it. I definitely can see the appeal of this novel.
Kathryn Stockett's vivid depictions of Jackson, Mississippi in 1963 and her lively characters made this a fast read even at 451 pages. It's hard to put down this book!
Patrons who can recall the decade assure me that Stockett's descriptions are dead-on accurate.
Here's The Help in a nutshell: a young journalist in Jackson, Mississippi pens a tell-all from the point of view of "the help." The maids' stories and the reaction of their employers when they find themselves the subject of the book echo the real life drama of the times.
The Help is heartbreaking, enlightening, and surprisingly hilarious at times. On the serious side, Civil Rights leader Medger Evans is slain during the course of the story. The attack sends shock waves through the black community and highlights the fact that there really are two very separate Mississippis in 1963. While the white community is a land of country clubs, white gloves, and tea parties, life for most blacks is filled with so many struggles they cease to even notice them. Even so, maids like the kind, wise Aibileen and feisty Minny (especially Minny!) find ways to dish out some just desserts.
I just love these characters!

Summer is rolling by.....
Big bad B got to ride his first roller coaster this weekend. My in-laws were here this weekend so we headed up to our town's annual festival to hit the rides and walk around for a couple of hours. Braden also took his first Ferris Wheel ride. I sat across from him wondering if he would like it or not, but he said he wanted to try it. His face turned a bit white when he realize how high we were going. He held onto the rails behind his head. He told me he didn't like it as soon as we got to the top. I tried distracting him by pointing out things we could see like a fire engine parked below. The ride happened to stop when we were at the way tip top. Our bucket was rocking back and forth. He nervously asked me why we stopped. I was praying it was to drop off another rider at the bottom. Thank goodness it was, and we started up again. Then when he got off he said it was fun but it made his belly drop. I am not sure he will choose to go on it again! :) How fun when kids are able to go on their first "big" rides (somewhat). Liam had fun on the merry-go-round sitting on a horse for the first time. Braden seems to like rides, but Liam may be our thrill-seeker. We'll see.
We are trying to fit as much fun into this summer before the cooler weather arrives. Braden starts preschool next week- just one day a week. Where does the time go (days and years fly by)?

Let's be fair, here. I'm not usually a risk taker. Sure, I do a few activities that aren't exactly… typical.
And on Tuesday, I decided to try Extreme Trampoline at a place called Rebounderz in Sterling, Virginia. Wall to wall trampolines. Foam pits. Flips and turns and bouncy bouncy!
Which, in itself, is not a bad idea. Lots and lots of fun, with my very fun trapeze people!
And I even got a few flips in myself!
Then I got brave. (read = stupid)
I attempted a backflip. Bad decision. BAAAAD decision. Please note the lime green padding. Please note that it covers the metal/wood that holds the trampoline springs. Please note it is NOT VERY PADDED. BAD DECISION!
Because I bashed the ever-living [expletive] out of my right knee. In the interest of full (and graphic) disclosure, I bashed it so hard that I nearly vomited. Right there on the trampoline. That's some serious pain, right there.
My knee swelled up pretty fast. I had to fill out an accident liability form (once I could see straight). I couldn't tell if I wanted to cry because it hurt, or if I wanted to cry because it might mess up all my hard work training for the upcoming Marine Corps Marathon.
Today, I visited the orthopedist. I'd held it together for 2 days, trying not to get all "OMG! I totally broke myself! I'll never run again!" I'd been hobbling around, icing the knee until it was bright pink and taking ibuprofen like crazy. I'm not going to lie: it hurt. It still hurts.
When the doctor came in, he raised his eyebrows and asked, "The trampoline? You hit your knee on the trampoline?"
"Yeah, it turns out I'm not 16 anymore." I got him to laugh, so there's that.
After some prodding and bending and "hmms", the doctor pronounced me not entirely broken. And really surprised that I was not entirely broken. He expected some sort of serious injury (other than epic bone bruise) due to the swelling and nature of the trauma experienced. Like a cracked kneecap. Or a torn something something ligament. (Can you tell I'm medically inclined?)
I may have cried a little bit when he said I would be okay. They might have been tears of relief. I may have made the doc a little uncomfortable, but he handled it like a pro. Got me some tissues and everything.
As it stands, I'm REALLY lucky – as it stands, I can still stand! Diagnosis: Epic bone bruise. Extreme swelling. But, that's it. Prognosis? I'll live. And I'll live to run another day. In fact, it's likely that I'll be running in 10-14 days (albeit not the 20 miler I had planned). But, my first step after my week or so of healing is the stationary bike.
I'm just counting my blessings and thanking God for listening – it's not as bad as it could have been.
Moral of the story? Don't make bad decisions in the middle of marathon training! (I'd say Don't make bad decisions, but let's be serious.)
Have you ever done something you KNEW you shouldn't when in training?

Google Search Measured in Terms of Carbon Emission
January 12, 2009
January 12, 2009 (HOSTSEARCH.COM) Research carried out in the United States by physicist Alex Wissner-Gross has established the amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) generated by Google search, reports from a number of sources, including the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC), have suggested.
According to the research, each Google search generates 7g of CO2, making the CO2 released by two searches equivalent to that created by boiling a kettle to make tea or coffee. Multiply this by the number of searches, and the amount of CO2 generated is equivalent to the greenhouse gas generated by all of the worlds airlines combined.
According to Mr. Wissner-Gross, Google generates more carbon dioxide than some competitors through its massive requirement for data storage and use of servers. Given there are an estimated 200 million Internet searches daily, the environmental impact of searching on Google has become cause for concern. Already, the search industry is generating 2% of the total greenhouse gases released into the atmosphere. Data centers are among the most energy-intensive facilities imaginable, the Times of London quoted Lawrence Berkeley scientist, Mr. Evan Mills as suggesting.

For the record, this is a golf course. But this morning, it was misty enough that even I could hit a golf ball far enough to lose it.
I did take some other pictures today, which were probably much more interesting, and probably better focus. But when I came to review the pictures I really liked the sense of restfulness that comes with heavy mist; the way that sound is eaten up and disappears as you walk into the middle distance.
And it's February. I make that just 47 weekends left to do the Christmas shopping...

do not press. This is just a logo, for decorative purposes only...
01:38:26 - 15th out of 92 AG, 158/1359 OA
Today was a great finish to a great season, at least to this codger's eyes. Wound up nine seconds quicker than my calculations in the McMillan Running Calculator!
A chilly morning, ~5 deg. C, and I was dressed fairly well for it but will trust the system next year to pack extra warmup clothes and use their bag transfer system back to the finish line at Confederation Park. There was shivering, but at least we had the local school gymnasium for warmth, aided in no small way by the few thousand bodies milling within.
Note to self: must get the name of the half-marathoner who sang our national anthem beforehand. If that set of pipes held up for his run, he was destined for a PR.
Lessons learned: trust the instincts to replace my shoes sooner... I was stretching a glide on mileage, telling myself I'd kick off the off-season with a new pair, and I think fresher cushioning would have helped the paws today, given that my only physical complaint afterwards was sore soles.
I also clearly spoiled myself with running on trails to the extent I did; I think Bronte Creek's pathways didn't toughen me up sufficiently for the solid impacts of pavement and concrete; a full marathon distance today would have degenerated into blisters and hobbling.
I was chuffed to pass the 10k mark in the 43 min. range, faster than my standalone 10k time from the Moon in June race. It was cool running down the escarpment's grade on the closed off Red Hill Valley Parkway. This no doubt accounted for the lion's share of the four minute edge I tallied over my intended pace at the 12k mark (and perhaps the downhill impacts further mashed my soles!) Nevertheless, I enjoyed the free speed and could only dream of tearing down there, traffic-free, on my bike. Heck, even my Corolla would be a delight if it could slice through apexes without shoulder checks and signals.
Terrific volunteers were hawking their provisions like Marrakech market vendors. I only wished I was more dehydrated so I could take them up on their offers. While I ended up gargling down a couple of eLoad drinks around the 15k mark, that was it, per my training regimen of keeping it light & simple.
Big turnout, decent weather - for the time of year it was, friendly folks, what could be better? Ah yes, seeing a friend qualify for Boston! Kudos to you, Campbell. Next time, just don't cut it quite so close, as I don't think my heart can take much more of that!
UPDATE: Tuesday 5:20am - Ha! Forget the feet, they're fine enough; what I've really noticed is some late-onset stiffness/tenderness in my quads! Old ladies ask if they can help me walking down stairs at the college. I haven't felt this worn out in memory (and heaven knows I have a lot to remember). Not to worry, this tells me I really hustled and left nothing behind. Next time, though, I may dial down the Juggernaut setting on my downhill segments!

One final recipe to take advantage of the quince that is season! Quince has a naturally high level of pectin, which makes it ideal for jams or 'butters' such as this one.
Combine 2 cups water and 1/2 cup raw sugar in a saucepan. Bring to a boil and cook at a boil for 2 minutes. Add 3/4 lb. of cored, peeled, and quartered quince (about one large or two small). Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 45 minutes.
Remove from heat, and remove the quince with a slotted spoon to a food processor; process until smooth.
Return the cooking liquid to the burner over medium-high heat. Cook without stirring until a candy thermometer reads 234 degrees. (It'll be really bubbly!)
Remove from heat, and stir in the quince puree and one teaspoon of lemon juice. Let cool to room temperature before storing in an airtight container. It will keep in the fridge for up to two months.
Two tablespoons is 100 calories. For a yummy hors d'oeuvre, spread onto crusty bread, and top with thin slices of the vegan cheese of your choice - or if you have non-vegans coming over and don't mind buying it, try thinly sliced Manchego cheese.
quince $1.98

Drawing by Sara Michelle Blakeley
The etheric cord that connects me to my guardian, my godmother and grandmother, Nana Angelina, has been transformed by her death. The physical connection is imbalanced, as she is not in her body any more.
As a result, my soul and energy system is hemorrhaging energy.
The aura closes down to protect, just as the blood vessels and the clotting cascade do in actual physical injury.
I am in shock. In my soul, there has been an energy disruption, an imbalance that is a 'body hit' if you will, and my energy system is reeling.
There are the memories that come up, for example, something she loved. And I cry.
There is the need to be alone, in nature. I went to the beach this morning. When I saw a pod of dolphins as I prepared to go, I knew they had been sent.
This is the part that no one ever gets to see in my practice of medicine--how once things are 'safe' and 'done' how I fall apart at home. I cry when one of my patients dies. It really upsets me. Plus every fiber of norepinephrine in my nervous system has been 'drained', and I am shaken from the sudden emergency in the O.R. It will take one day for those 'reserved' of 'adrenaline-type neurotransmitters in my peripheral nervous system' to replenish. I am 'done'.
With Nana, I had the mental, the physical, the emotional, and the spiritual 'perfect storm'.
What did I do about it?
I saw my gay boyfriend Ed. He feels the same about his grandmother Delia, who passed three years ago. She was his rock, she raised him, she was his foundation.
Ed nurtured me. He works in hospice too. He said my Presence was the nicest gift I could give her.
Next, I went to the RAW vegan restaurant where I am loved and cared about, and set about to jack my vibration way the heck UP. It's the only way to deal with these situations. I took in water, tea and soup to help assimilate the energies that are disrupted from my loss.
The music was wonderful. I don't understand how it is always perfect, when it is satellite radio restaurant station or whatever…I heard La Vie En Rose, such a lovely mix of it, and French sounding music that made me feel like I was 'home' in the French Countryside again. And the food!
But when I spoke with my friends who work there, I fell apart. First it was the concern from the owner's daughter. Next it was the pretty flowers on the plate with the chocolates. And last it was my friend Chef Ito. In the presence of such calm, I was my core self again. The words tripped out as I tried to explain through the tears what happened. He listened. And he said, 'I have something for you.'
Let me explain:
- my energy was not in a healthy 'rhythm'. I will make an example using electricity in the heart, or EKG.
- Normal sinus rhythm has that shape you see all the time, little bump (p wave), line, big UP DOWN UP (QRS complex), line, then little bump (T wave).
- When my energy is 'right' it 'flows' like a healthy EKG 'flows' in its own way.
- Sometimes the electricity travels through the heart 'funny'--it drops a beat, it gets irregular, too fast, too slow…
- Most of the time those are 'compatible with life'.
- The bad one is a bunch of wiggly lines, with no organized 'beat'. This is Ventricular Fibrillation.
- Here is a primer--from an ER doc--on ACLS if you want to 'see' the rhythm. It's on page 7 http://www.ucdenver.edu/academics/colleges/medicalschool/departments/surgery/education/GrandRounds/Documents/GRpdfs/2008-2009/7-28-08%20Nordenholz.pdf
- The heart that is fibrillating looks like it is filled with wiggling worms.
- There is no cure for V Fib except electricity. Lots of it. If you don't want to mess around, you charge up the paddles to 360 joules, for an 'unsynchonized mono phasic shock' to 'restart the heart' (this is old-school! current technology is 'biphasic' shock that uses less electricity)
- This amount of electricity for defibrillation will lift the patient about six inches off the bed
- It would also kill anybody touching the patient and set fire to the oxygen (we turn O2 off in preparation for the shock).
This oil I was given was applied to my third eye--I was instructed to put it there.
I didn't know it but it was spiritual 'electricity' for someone who was in 'soul fibrillation'. Warm connection to source like I have never felt washed over my entire being, on all levels. I was calm and still. I don't need to know what it was or how it worked: I felt it.
I got back in 'rhythm' with my soul: the emotional storm cleared and I had clarity again.
I am to put it on every time I cry.
It doesn't have a name and it's not from a single essential oil.
That's why I am naming it 360J.
We are coming to a time in healing where the 'subtle energies' that are not measurable with a device but are 'felt' and are 'quantum mechanics level' are going to be involved in the healing process.
Healing will be done with Light (both visible and higher frequency) and sound.
In time, my aura will form a 'callus' and heal. And I will have Nana's memories to sustain me. All in all I accept it was her time and I am happy for her. But I was a child with her, and remember her warmth and kindness, nurturing and encouragement, her understanding, and her heart connection to my own heart that beats in my chest. I miss it. I have a right to miss it. We are of the same flesh and blood...
Until then, I surrender to the emotions of grief as best as I can. My soul knows what it is doing to heal.
But when I get hopeless and feel like an orphan because my Spiritual Guardian is not connected to me in the physical?
I take out the little bottle of 360J.
Thank you Ito.
Thank you Nana Angelina for the pod of dolphins, and for the glorious sunset. Thank you God and Goddess for the compassion that has been generously shared with me online and in person. The outpouring of love is helping me adjust to the shock of this loss. Your caring touches me deeply, and supports my heart.
Aloha and Mahalos,
Reiki Doc

Poland's First Lady Agata Kornhauser-Duda showed Donald Trump a thing or two about manners when she made a point of shaking hands with with Melania Trump before turning her attention to the American President.
Trump Trumped
Donald Trump seems to have meet his match in the 'handshake wars' if this recent encounter with the President of Tajikistan, Emomali Rahmon, is anything to go by.
Masonic Handshake? (13/02/17)
Is Donald Trump a Freemason?
I have to admit I don't know, but he's certainly got a really weird handshake - one which seems to terrify the Japanese prime minister Shinzo Abe who is clearly very relieved once Trump finally releases his grip.

"The Glow"
'Where are we?' asked Sarah amidst confusion. 'What is this place?'
'It looks safe. At least for now.' replied Katherine with a false note of certainty in her voice.
'How can you tell? What does safe even mean anymore?' Sarah questioned both her friend and herself not expecting neither a true nor a satisfying answer.
Both women began to look around, searching for clues in regards to their current location. Their messy hair, dirt covered faces and ragged clothes gave away a glimpse of their situation: they haven't been home for quite some time. Moreover, they haven't seen civilization in weeks. They've been out of touch with reality and their lives. They've had no rest. Their disheveled looks were telling a distressing story of desperate search for answers and a way back.
'I don't know what to think anymore,' said Sarah with a sense of resignation in her voice. 'When will this end? What is the point? I don't know if I can carry on for much longer.'
'We have to hold on. We can't give up. Do you want to just lie down and die?' countered Katherine, the visibly stronger one of the two.
'No… but we've been jumping between places and… realities… for too long.' replied Sarah.
'How long is too long? You speak like this has already happened to someone and there's a point of reference out there somewhere. We're here now so we have to try and cope somehow.' said Katherine, trying to reason with frightened Sarah. After the few weeks they've spent together she knew it was the best way to make Sarah calm down, if only for a moment.
'I'm just saying… What if it never stops? Do we live off of scraps we can find and face uncertain future every time we jump?' Sarah further voiced her concerns.
'For now we have to. I know it's not easy. Do you think it's easy for me? I'm telling myself things I never would have believed a couple of weeks ago. And I believe there is an end to this. Be patient. Let's not lose our minds just yet.' said Katherine as she tried to sound as convincing as she could, both for her and Sarah's sake.
The night was fast approaching. Chilly air surrounded the women, suddenly bringing even more doubt to their worried and tired minds. The sky began to fill itself with ever darkening blue color, quickly displaying its true nature: blackness. A few stars here and there were breaking the perfect black harmony of the sky. They seemed to be disinterested and brought no solace to the weary eyes of the stranded women.
'We have to find shelter. Let's head out to this grove.' Katherine proposed after she noticed a set of strange white trees in the nearby valley. It was the only distinguishable place among the endless sea of land. In normal circumstances she would have stayed far away from such mysterious and eerie looking place but now she thought they need any cover they can get. After all, these weren't ordinary circumstances.
'What if we're being punished?' asked Sarah on the way to the grove, slowly getting more and more anxious.
'Punished for what?' replied Katherine 'I don't think we deserve any more punishment than anyone else does.'
'What if it happens to everyone? What if at some point we all have to go through this hell? Our own personal hell?' Sarah was not one to drop the topic quickly.
'I don't think we'll ever know for sure,' said Katherine, carefully trying to find the right words. 'We're all capable of terrible things. Do you believe if we somehow avoid consequences of our actions the universe will eventually make us catch up with what we've done and face judgment?' asked Katherine firmly. Sarah did not reply. She decided to think about it in silence. It's what they both did most of the time during their exile. Think.
As they reached and entered the grove they felt a bit safer even though there was no particular reason to do so. Safer than ever before in the past few weeks, as they've both acknowledged to each other without saying any words. They headed into the center of the grove, as if some unseen force was pushing them there. The women stayed close to one another, treading slowly and carefully. They were feeling an immense fear of being left alone; stranded. For weeks they had to rely only on themselves. If they lost that, they thought, it's hard to imagine what would have happened. Certainly nothing good. As they proceeded ever deeper into the grove, passing through white trees they've never seen before, they noticed something in front of them. Sarah grabbed Katherine's hand and they slowly made their way to the center of the grove.
They arrived at a pool of pristine water, above which there was a tremendous glow which casted bright light upon both women and everything around them, resonating with certain restrained warmth and... kindness? In the middle of the oval shaped glow Sarah and Katherine noticed a slight shade of darkness, a dim patch, as if it was a padlock keeping the unseen door firmly sealed.
'I've never seen anything like this,' said Sarah in awe. 'I think it's… beautiful.'
'It is… I have no idea what it is. But it feels different to anything we've seen so far.' admitted Katherine, while examining the glow carefully.
'It emanates warmth and…' Sarah gathered her thoughts. 'In a way it feels like something I recognize. Something from before our "journey".'
'All I know is I want to be here, I want to stay close to it. I feel safe here.' said Katherine, this time without any hints of uncertainty in her voice. Women sat on the inviting grass and wondered what is so special and familiar about this eerie phenomenon in front of them.
'You asked me earlier if I think we all have to go through our own personal hell at some point,' said Katherine to now calm and collected Sarah. 'Maybe. But this is not hell. It feels more like a purgatory.'
'I think so too. We've been through a lot and it made me understand some things about myself,' replied Sarah with unfamiliar to Katherine certainty in her voice. 'I know I've done bad things in my life. I know I'm guilty of lies and neglect and deception. I hurt people who I care about and who care about me.'
'There's plenty of things I'm not proud of either,' agreed Katherine. 'If this has been a way of making me recognize my shortcomings I can't argue with that,' she continued: 'We barely slept, barely ate, and barely kept our minds straight. But here we are. In front of this… shining light. Whatever it is.' The amazement on her face whenever she looked upon the hovering beam of light was evident.
'I know what you are saying. And I don't think we would have made it here if we haven't had each other. I know I was the weaker one of us two and you kept me going. Thank you, Katherine.' said Sarah, with all sincerity in her voice and look.
'Don't thank me. I needed you here as much as you needed me. I wish there was a way for us to fix our mistakes in our past lives. To do what's right by people we love. No excuses.' replied Katherine.
'I fear it's too late. I fear we wasted our lives and we deserve nothing.' said Sarah with tone of regret in her voice.
'Oh how I wish…' Katherine started to say but was interrupted by something entirely unexpected.
Suddenly the glow became stronger and brighter. The darkness has unexplainably abandoned it without a flicker of emotion. No anger or disappointment. It was more of a relief as if it was saying 'finally'. Sarah and Katherine had no idea what it meant and they observed the captivating event with uncertainty and confusion. The glow slowly began to emanate a humming noise, gently pulsating and taking its time to revel in its own harmonious arrangement. Women looked at each other and stepped closer with both hope and curiosity overtaking their minds.
And then it struck them. They were presented with a set of distorted images inside the glow. The images of… their lives. The people they loved and cared about. Katherine saw her mother and Sarah saw her husband and children. As the glow grew larger and larger, expanding way above the grove of white trees they suddenly understood it all. They knew what they had to do. Lessons were learned. A second chance… For the last time they looked at each other and nodded to one another in recognition of their friendship and connection, with glimpses of optimism and hope in their eyes. Without hesitation they stepped through the glow...

HOLLYWOOD — The small-screen biz got a little bit smaller last week.
With the slumping TV economy showing no sign of bouncing back any time soon, two major studios took steps to adjust to the difficult times.
Sony shuttered its Columbia TriStar Television unit, beginning a process that will result in the loss of as many as 70 jobs — including those of prexy Len Grossi and network production topper Tom Mazza.
And a few miles north of Hollywood, Burbank, Calif.-based Warner Bros. Television — which is very definitely not getting out of the primetime biz — nonetheless took the unusual step of scaling back its roster of overall deals, dropping up to 10 scribes-producers.
While the strategies behind the respective decisions are very different, both indicate just how hard it's become to make money in the network TV business.
With the scatter ad market showing no sign of recovery, it seems inevitable that several major TV companies will be forced to implement further budget cuts — and quite possibly layoffs.
"This is just the tip of the iceberg," says one top agent. "If the upfronts next May are as bad as this year, we're going to see one or two more years of this."
The cutbacks at Warner Bros. TV, according to execs at the studio, are part of an overall cost-savings effort at the AOL Time Warner company. Producers of many of the studio's primetime skeins are also being asked to look for savings wherever possible.
The scribes-producers being cut will be paid most or all of what's contractually due to them.
WBTV insiders said the cuts won't impact the studio's output since the scribes being trimmed haven't been successful at coming up with successful series or ideas for shows.
Sony's decision, on the other hand, means the studio is largely abandoning primetime — for now, at least.
Steve Mosko, the well-respected head of Sony's syndie unit, will serve as prexy of the newly formed Columbia TriStar Domestic Television. He'll oversee what's left of Sony's network operations, while continuing to run the company's syndie and cable production efforts.
In announcing the cutbacks, Sony Pictures Entertainment COO/prexy Mel Harris said the Internet and ad revenue boom of the 1990s helped mask the inherent flaws in the traditional net-studio model. "The mold we've broken is the large, roster-based, network primetime deep development, heavy-deficit, hoping for that one play to recoup it all mold," Harris says. "That's a model we're not going forward with."
Harris and Mosko say CTDT will continue to pursue "selected network programming opportunities" in a "targeted manner." Company will also hold on to its seven current primetime programs, including "King of Queens," "Dawson's Creek" and "The Guardian."
"We're going to continue to be a major player in the TV business," Mosko says. "We're involved in syndication and cable, and in network, we'll be involved in an opportunistic basis."
Some believe Sony's decision to abandon primetime will ultimately hurt the company's syndie business by drying up the supply of big sitcom hits (think "Mad About You" or "Seinfeld") that bring in hundreds of millions in backend coin.
Harris, however, says there are other ways to make money in TV.
"There are ball games that are won with singles and doubles, and some that are won with home runs," he says. "The singles and doubles game is a perfectly respectable way to play the game."

This is Mensheng (which means disciple in Mandarin), who put out their debut CD last year. Love the cover. Not my kind of music and I don't have the CD. But from the two tracks on their MySpace, I'd say they are pretty good at what they do. Is that what you young people call screamo?

Here is Chochukmo, The King Lost His Pink, one of a hundred odd Hong Kong indie CD covers in a new Flickr set. Now, you can't just walk into a shop and buy any Hong Kong indie CD you like, so please tell me what I am missing!
Chochukmo won a Time Out Hong Kong 'we'll make your album' competition and brought out the album at the end of last year. The production is good, which is nice because there's some pretty clever stuff going on in there. Whatever indie means, Chochukmo are definitely indie because they say so on their sleeve notes: 'we're still indie and we'll stay indie'. They also say that nobody forced them to wear anything they didn't enjoy, which I guess explains the cover.
How about A-day? Are they indie? Well, they did have a track on the excellent 3-CD Come Out and Play compilation in 2004. Now they have an album and credits for hairstyling, make up and styling (okay, I'm just jealous). Some nice acoustic tracks, but overall a bit cantopoppy for me. Wish them well!

Top Hong Kong indie track 2009
I am taken task for my last post by Chris B. There were far more indie CDs out in 2009 than the four I bought and I am going to hunt some of them down and post them up here. Meanwhile here's my top track of last year - Mongolia Song, the debut (free!) download only single by Modern Children. Go to their website, download it, watch the 'making of' video (love the bit where the neighbour complains about the drumming in the corridor), and tell your friends.

Not that we experienced Bangkok, but Chiang Mai–Thailand's second largest city and the capital of the north–is known for feeling like the opposite. It's less urban, less modern and less frenetic, and when you walk some of the quieter streets, it feels like you have your own world to yourself.
How I got there:
From Bangkok, we took a Thai Airways flight the night after we arrived. While getting on a plane so soon after 24+ hours of travel wasn't optimal, we wanted to make it in time for the Sunday night market, which was well worth it. Plus, the flight was short, at 1:20. I would recommend Thai Airways to anyone–our flights were on large, clean planes that weren't even close to fully booked, so there was plenty of room to spread out–and all this for about $40 one way.
Where I stayed:
Our hotel, Yaang Come Village, was beautiful, affordable, well-located–can't say enough about it. Walking to your room felt like walking into a beautiful jungle. It was also an easy walk into the old city–about 15 minutes or so–and when you didn't feel like doing it, you could take a tuk tuk for 100 THB (or $2.75).
What I did:
When we arrived, we immediately set out for the night market, which luckily for us lasted until midnight. I usually have a pretty strict "don't buy things at markets because you'll regret them when you get home" rule, but the wares here were something else. Rather than selling garbage knick-knacks, a lot of the people were selling beautiful decor items, and everything was insanely cheap when converting from dollars. (Note: We didn't find the same true of the normal night bazaar that's open every day. That was more like the typical junk you'd expect, and the Sunday market put it to shame.)
The best part was the food, though. Tables and tables and tables of street food. We walked around collecting fresh-squeezed orange juice, noodles, sushi, banana chocolate crepes (made with roti–game-changer), mango sticky rice–and there was so much more (i.e., egg rolls the size of burritos).
On our first full day Chiang Mai, we spent most of the time meandering, first through the flower market and then on to the old city.
Once in the old city, we took a couple of streets from end to end, including Rachmandoen Road. Within the city's walls, there are plenty of little shops and cafes to explore, as well as beautiful temples pretty much everywhere you look.
As much as I enjoyed the city, though, our second day was pretty incomparable. We did a day trip to Elephant Nature Park, a sanctuary for rescued elephants from all over the country.
There's no elephant riding at the park, as it's abusive to the animals–something most travelers don't realize. But we spent hours up close with them, feeding them, walking with them, and bathing them in the river.
The bathing had to be the highlight–captured thanks to one of my groupmates, who kindly emailed us his GoPro photos and videos from the day after we all got home.
(This video is only 1 second long, don't worry.)
At the end, we went to see this little guy–though we couldn't get too close, since he's apparently still a little wild.
Where I ate:
We did find some really good restaurants in Chiang Mai, though I'm not sure anything ever lived up to the street food from the night market. I'm also in it for the design, though, and on that front, Graph Cafe absolutely nailed it.
Beyond that, Ginger & Kafe was great–pricey for a Thai restaurant, but still ridiculously cheap for an upscale restaurant by U.S. standards (…$4.40 for my dinner). Farmstory was tucked away in the shade, which made it a nice spot to pause our wandering and grab Pad Thai.
Where I drank:
At night, we quickly found crowds at the cluster of bars near Zoe in Yellow, but the pulsing music and iffy bathroom situation put us off. We ended up drinking Leo (which we later determined was our favorite Thai beer) at At Friends Cafe, which was just across the way. Fittingly, we there befriended another traveler, and our Thai bartenders encouraged us all to go out together when they closed. So back to Zoe it was–but luckily, our bartender friends let us back in to use the bathrooms at the end of the night.
What I missed:
We didn't get out to Wat Doi Suthep, a temple in the mountains with supposedly stunning views. We also skipped doing a cooking class, which is something I've found on almost every single Chiang Mai itinerary I've ever seen. There are tons of different options to choose from for every skill level…but if you saw us in the kitchen, you'd understand.
For nightlife, we got a recommendation for the Nimmanhaemin Road area one day too late–described to me as an area with lots of great bars and restaurants away from the madness of the old city (and also where all the expats and "posh" locals hang out). Nimmanhaemin brunch spots Smoothie Blues, Rustic and Blue and The Larder came recommended, as did Warmup Cafe for a Thai club experience.
Lastly, I heard great things from multiple people–including one of our taxi drivers–about The Whole Earth, the restaurant right next door to Yaang Come Village. And we tracked down Ponganes Coffee Roasters, only to find it closed for the day.

Japan's opposition party says it would refuse to buy American government bonds denominated in US dollars, if elected.It's odd enough for me not to have seen it mentioned anywhere else to take it with a grain of salt. If that info would be real and the Japenese really moved toward refusing USD denominated treasuries, it would start getting really troublesome for the US (though it would help them in the long run, forcing them to reduce spending and increase production and also prevent them from exporting so much inflation).
The chief finance spokesman of the Democratic Party of Japan, Masaharu Nakagawa, told the BBC he was worried about the future value of the dollar.
Japan has been a major buyer of US government bonds, helping the US finance its Federal budget deficits.
But, he added, it would continue to buy bonds only if they were denominated in yen - the so-called samurai bonds.
— Neo: What truth?
— Morpheus: That you are a slave, Neo.
Japanese opposition doesn't want USD denominated US government bonds
This is an interesting piece of news published more than two weeks ago or so on the BBC web site and that I have just been told about:
