(Being uploaded in Anjuna, on a rare day with functional internet! Blog posts will be added randomly while I'm here -- access is slow at best and completely unreliable at worst.)
But mostly, I think, I ate cake; it's not a bad way to spend your time, actually (and the Teapot Cafe in the Fort Cochin neighbourhood does a sinfully delicious one called Death By Chocolate). And watched some movies on those hot afternoons when I couldn't take any more of the outside air; I splurged on a slightly more expensive hotel room here, so had the luxury of TV (not air-conditioning, unfortunately, but the ceiling fan and wide-open windows did wonders).
Written in Kochi – Mar 8th
So I'm leaving Kochi tonight. It's about 6 o'clock now, and I'm killing time till I head to the train station, to catch my night train to Goa; I get there about 10 a.m. tomorrow. Well, to Margao train station, that is, which is at least two hours by taxi from where I actually want to be, so it'll be a long trip still even after I get off the train.
I didn't really mean to stay in Kochi this long; it's been 6 nights and that's probably more than you need here. It's a very pleasant city with some interesting sights, but you really only need 2 or 3 days. But I was hampered by night train availability trying to get to Goa, so leaving today was my earliest option. I'm travelling once again in "3AC" class, in the topmost bunk of the tier of 3; with luck none of the other 5 people in the compartment will be snorers. Assuming it's on time (a big assumption for Indian rail), I'll get to Goa just after 10 in the morning.
So ... Kochi. By Indian standards, this isn't a big city; this is the country that has something like 49 cities with more than a million people. Kochi's just over a million, so in Canadian terms it's a metropolis. It's got a fascinating history, and the residue of the past is littered all around the historical neighbourhoods of Fort Cochin, Mattancherry and Jewtown; Portuguese architecture half a millennium old shares space with a 400-year-old synagogue, centuries-old giant fishing nets from China, and a smattering of Dutch and British influence. Ernakulam, on the mainland, is the commercial centre of the city, and Fort Cochin (where I stayed) is on an island and mostly caters to tourists; goats wander the streets freely and rickshaw drivers abound, eager to take you on a 20-rupee tour of the city (which will, inevitably, include a lot of shops where they'll get commissions).
It's been hot as blazes here, and so humid it's been like swimming through the air when I've tried walking around. By about 2 pm each day, I can't take it anymore and have to retreat either to a cafe for a yummy slice of cake, or to my hotel room for a nap under the ceiling fan. Mornings and evenings are all right (still hot, but manageably so); it's just the afternoons that are unbearable.
So I didn't do some things I'd planned on doing here, like renting a bicycle to tour around the city and maybe one of the islands, or trekking out to the beach on Vypeen Island. It was too damn hot to do anything so strenuous. I did manage some long walks, but only when I set off early in the morning so it was still cool enough to cope. I did check out the sights, from the 16th century Portuguese cathedral and churches, to the old Jewish synagogue and overgrown cemetery in "Jewtown" and the crumbling colonial buildings of the Mattancherry neighbourhood.
|Dessert at the Kashi Art Cafe, Kochi
The town gets pretty quiet after 10 pm, so there isn't much by way of night life. There didn't appear to be many places serving alcohol at all, never mind opening late; there was only one I saw where that was actually licensed (where I tried Indian wine for the first time — a bad decision), and a few more that would serve discreet "special teapots" with beer inside. Despite the early shut-down, though, it proved to be a great place to meet other travellers; I'd meet other solo backpackers of varying ages and nationalities just about every time I headed to a cafe in the afternoon. (One is my new personal hero, as she is travelling around India alone at the age of 75. I hope to be like her in 35 years!) My favourite night, I think, was the night of my cooking class at "Miss Leelu's Cook'n'Eat" (I'll tell you about that in another post).
Today, I've sworn off the cake (all the chocolate was getting to be a bit much), eaten sensibly and taken care of useful things like going to the post office. I elected, finally, to send home some of the heavy stuff I no longer need, as I was getting tired of hoisting my backpack at its previous weight; even though I don't have many stops left before I get home, I'll still like having a lighter load. And I got to experience the Indian postal system; I'd sort of figured it would stay true to Indian form and operate in the least efficient way possible, and I wasn't disappointed. But I got my parcel mailed after a mere two hours of effort and about six forms filled in (none of which, as far as I could see, served any useful purpose, except to keep the dozens of people in the post office occupied).
On my way out, I was further delayed by a group of school children coming in; one of them, very daring, marched up to me to shake my hand, introduce himself and ask my name. Giggling furiously (boys and girls alike), the rest of them had to follow suit, so I didn't manage to escape until I'd shaken about 25 hands. Apparently I'm a celebrity in Kochi, too.
I'm done, now, and have eaten and bought a bottle of water, so am all set for my night train adventure. I think I even get breakfast on the train tomorrow (which, I hope, includes chai). Then, at last, I will set foot again in Goa, there to while away my remaining days in India.

Hello All!
I have been meaning to post this workout for awhile now, I did something similar a few weeks ago and my abs were super sore and awesome feeling two days later. Abs are my favorite muscle group to work out and I have a hard time finding workouts that create soreness because of how often I focus on them, so I decided to combine a few I enjoy doing the most. Let me know what you think!
Warm Up:
You can do whatever you like to do to warm up, but as mentioned in the past I always like to start with a simple yoga flow. This helps me warm up my muscles and tendons by giving them a nice stretch and if done with a fast-pace gets my blood flowing as well.
Also, if you'd like, 1-3 rounds of:
10 jump lunges
10 burpees
10 jump squats
20 sit ups
20 mountain climbers
20 toe raises
30 russian twists
30 jumping jacks
30 high knees
5 minute plank*
- :30 elbow plank
- :30 high plank
- 1:00 left side plank
- :30 high plank
- 1:00 right side plank
- :30 high plank
- 1:00 elbow plank
Drink water and rest for a minute or two, if needed
Plank walk ups (repeat x3)
- 10 walk ups (begin with left arm)
- Left knee to chest x5 (hold for 10 seconds each)
- 10 walk ups (begin with right arm)
- Right knee to chest x5 (hold for 10 seconds each)
Full sit ups (1 song or 4 minutes)
- Use a yoga ball if available, and vary direction if you'd like
1:00 Pilates hundreds
30 Bicycle crunches
15 Star crunches
- Repeat x3
Cool Down:
Mountain pose > Forward fold > Half-way lift > Forward fold > Mountain pose > Stretch up, tip toes > Back bend > Mountain pose > Downward facing dog > High plank > High to low push up > Upward facing dog > Down dog > Raise left leg > Warrior II > Extended side angle > Reverse warrior > Repeat through second down dog, then do right side.
*Another version of the 5 minute plank was included in the previous ab challenge I posted. Feel free to use either version, or your own variation!

I almost missed Movie Monday. Oops! The boys have been really hilarious again recently. N thinks that J is just the funniest person ever. The other night at dinner N just started laughing hysterically at J. Of course, J then started hamming it up to keep N laughing. I caught the tail end of it on film. Wish I had it all. Oh well.
Being the Christmas season, we have our nativity set out. J loves it! Last year he was mostly into the animals, but this year he just loves Baby Jesus. I think it's because we have so many books about the story of Christmas. Anyway, on Saturday, J grabbed baby Jesus and a sheep, handed B Mary and Joseph, and started racing around the house. It was a Holy Family Marathon and it was just too funny. This video doesn't do it justice, but you get a little bit of the idea.
Happy Holidays, everyone! Hope yours are filled with love and laughter.

Buddy messages me, wanting to come out to LA for a visit. After the break-in, he was finally booted from the house and is now sleeping in his beat-up red civic with a pink bumper. Ell says it's been cold and rainy and in spite of being so angry at him, I feel bad that he's out on the streets. So I say, sure, come out. He's been asking to come for years now and I always say yes, knowing that the chances he will are small. He must be desperate or lonely to reach out to me since most of our conversations for the past many years quickly deteriorate into shouting matches. He messages again about aiports. I will make sure that he is completely aware of the rules and consequences and has a return plane ticket… somewhere else.
Another note, I googled the waspy Wentonwilder family and discovered a message posted on a pro-narcotic website from a substance abuse group comprised of former substance abusers… notably Mr. Wentonwilder. Ma had mentioned that Ms. Wentonwilder had sent her a kind note about the break-in and I offered that perhaps she could relate, considering Mr. W's past life as a tweaker. Despite its rarity, Ma replies, oh that was probably just someone with the same name! She's so out of it sometimes! But Ell 100% believes it.

House Sitter in Wixom
I recently came home from a mission trip (humanitarian work) where I travelled to 14 different countries over the course of a year. Upon leaving I sold all my belongings and quit my job to funraise and dedicate everything I could to my trip. I am looking to re-establish my life and venture out on my own. I am currently working at a deli in West Bloomfield where I have roots in the Jewish community. I love interacting and spending time getting to know their hearts. It's just not enough income to live on my own and buy all new things for my house. I hope you consider me as an applicant. I would love the opportunity to serve you as well. Thank you for your time. I look forward to hearing from you. Sincerely, Sarah German

Hmmmm... Interesting
However, it is his view on the motive for the 2003 Iraq invasion that is likely to provoke the most controversy. "I am saddened that it is politically inconvenient to acknowledge what everyone knows: the Iraq war is largely about oil," he says.
Greenspan, 81, is understood to believe that Saddam Hussein posed a threat to the security of oil supplies in the Middle East.
I have always looked at Greenspan as an Oz-like "man behind the curtain"... half scholar, half quack. His comments strike me as interesting, tho, since I've recently started to give more credence to the blood for oil theory (see my previous post on the topic here).
I'm relatively pragmatic about what needs to be done for the sake of protecting our national interests. That said, the karmic retribution for playing the ME for oil has always been a bit of an ass kicker. Every time we engage in a little puppet theater over there, or try to stack the monarchy deck, or attempt to manipulate the balance of power, it comes back to bite us in the ass in one glorious way or another.

War on Terrorism
Every morning, millions of people around the world begin their day by reading the newspaper. News topics are constantly discussed in everyday life and remain the dominant topic of conversation between friends, family, and even strangers. It is our responsibility as a modern society to recognize all events that impact our lives and make others aware of them, and newspapers as well as the general media allow us this opportunity. The New York Times, a worldwide newspaper, offers us a chance to become informed of worldwide current events while also offering insight into the development of society as seen through the eyes of the media. Through developing an archive of New York Times articles over a period of several months, I have become better acquainted with current world affairs while at the same time creating a "window" to the past. Although the majority of the events in the newspaper articles have become typical in our modern day and age, I may one day look back on today's news topics with awe. Upon browsing and removing articles that I believe are important and interesting, I have grouped them into five chapters: The War on Terrorism, Science and Technology, World Business, Arts and Entertainment, and Editorials and Letters.
September eleventh is a day that will forever impact the way we view our nation and the entire world. The terrorist attacks on New York City and the responses of our society and government have dominated headlines for months, and seemingly every aspect of the newspaper has contained some type of reaction to these events. Considering this, I have chosen articles for this chapter that seem most pertinent in the general overview of the response to these attacks, and through reviewing them one can clearly see the escalation of the American public's grief and desire for revenge and closure.
The development of man's intellectual ability and understanding of the world around him can be most readily seen in the...

POQUOSON — When Poquoson High School opens next week, parts of it won't be ready for students to use.
The school's $5.7 million renovation is lagging behind schedule, and some areas of the school remain soggy from late July storms.
POQUOSON — When Poquoson High School opens next week, parts of it won't be ready for students to use.
The school's $5.7 million renovation is lagging behind schedule, and some areas of the school remain soggy from late July storms.
So, pack bag lunches and leave the sneakers at home - although classes should start on time, the kitchen and the gym won't be ready Sept. 2. Until then, construction workers and school officials are trying to get as much done as possible.
``To say it's a tight fit would be an understatement,'' said Ray Vernall, superintendent of schools. ``We are monitoring it several times a day, not just daily.''
Bernie Wright, assistant principal of the high school, donned a hard hat and walked through the school's kitchen on Tuesday, passing by tools, strips of insulation and workers on ladders. The ceiling was laid open, revealing a shiny web of new ducts, wiring and beams.
``You can see why we're hesitant to say we'll be on line,'' Wright said.
Students are asked to bring their lunches for at least the first week.
The 21-year-old school's library and the wing used for technology classes are also being renovated. They are still a tangle of wheelbarrows, cables and boxes of new lights, and probably will be off-limits for a week or two.
Physical education classes are canceled for at least a few weeks while the gym floor continues to dry and is refinished.
The wooden slats became warped - mostly outside the playing area of the basketball court - when storm winds blew the temporary roof off and inches of rain covered the floor.
Water also damaged locker room floors and turned maroon and white jerseys pink.
These inconveniences will make the first week of school hectic, especially for freshmen, said Christa Stutt, who is a senior and student body president. ``It's all new anyway,'' she said, ``and then they have the renovation to worry about.''
But Stutt believes students will be understanding about the delays.
``I think we'll adjust because, I mean, we have to,'' she said.
This week, fans are set up to help dry the gym floor. Holes about the size of a quarter have been drilled every few feet along the floor's outer edges to allow water trapped beneath the planks to evaporate.
School officials plan to refinish the playing surface by the end of next week and - as recommended by the school district's usual flooring company - wait until summer 1998 to replace the outer edges.
The school district will not have to pay extra, Vernall said, because it is the general contractor's responsibility to get the floor fixed.
``It was a perfect floor, and we certainly don't want it any other way when it is finished,'' Vernall said.
In the meantime, the girls' basketball teams are practicing in the middle school gym and will play away games for the first half of the season. Some of the players are upset about not being able to use the familiar, more comfortable high school gym.
``The middle school gym is not as clean, and it's a lot hotter over there,'' said Shari Gross, a 17-year-old senior on the varsity team. ``It's like a sauna. The high school is usually pretty hot, too, but there is more air flow.''
Her 15-year-old sister, Stacy Gross, also is on the varsity squad and plays percussion in the marching band. Students in both activities, Stacy said, will miss afternoon band rehearsals while traveling to the basketball games. But, she acknowledged, ``We'll have to deal with it.''
School officials may have to order several new state championship banners to replace those ruined by the rain.
``We are still going to try to get them fixed,'' Wright said. ``But we took them to one dry cleaner, and he didn't give us much hope because the colors ran through the lettering.''
The high school renovation, which began in May, includes the addition of a nearly 500-seat cafeteria. The cafeteria is set to open on schedule during winter break.
A second phase of upgrades -not included in this $5.7 million project - calls for replacing the 300-seat auditorium with one that holds 1,000 people.
* WHAT: Poquoson High School's renovated kitchen will not be open in time to serve students for at least the first week of school. Even once work is completed, it can take more time for food deliveries to arrive and up to 48 hours for large freezers to cool to the right temperature.
* WHAT TO DO: Students are asked to bring bag lunches. School officials will provide bag lunches to students who qualify for free and reduced-price meals. Milk, juice and fruit can be bought at school.
* WHAT'S NEXT: School officials will determine by the end of the first week of classes when the kitchen will be ready.

Yeah 2-0
Holland-Denmark 2-0
46' 1-0 Simon Poulson (og)
85' 2-0 Dirk Kuyt
Holland started a bit nervous in their first match of the World Championships. Denmark had a decent game plan and that entailed not letting Holland play their favorite football. Those two things added up, making the first half relatively uneventful. One minute in the second half all that changed. A shot from Van Persie was miraculously deflected in the Danish own goal - severely upsetting the Danish game plan. With spaces opening up (since Denmark had to get the equalizer) Holland started playing better and getting chances. Five minutes before the end Dirk Kuyt had an easy tap in after Elia hit the post. The latter was very impressive as a substitute. 3 points for Holland, but a long way to go.

The 17th MEET IN BEIJING Arts Festival
in May, many projects of the festival will become effective echo. This year, among all the groups invited to participate in the festival, more than 50% are from countries along the "B&R" and the content and quality has reached the peak in recent years.
Hungry and Belarus, the two important countries, actively respond to the "B&R", respectively with their classic programs the ExperiDance Production's large-scale dance drama "The Legend of Sissi" and the National Academic Bolshoi Opera and Ballet Theater's ballet "Swan Lake" for the opening and closing of the festival. In addition, there will be the magnificent epic drama "White Deer Plain" by the Beijing People's Art Theater, depicting Wei River Plain's changes for 50 years, the State Small Theatre of Vilnius's drama "The Mother" with a unique artistic style and the Polish Folk Music Concert "The Spring of Warsaw" by the DAGA DANA band and so on. The festival takes Shaanxi in the "White Deer Plain" as a starting point, and connects a shining "B&R" art series of multicultural programs. The Art Festival also sets up exhibition activities with the theme of "B&R" in the sectors of Pop Music Festival and Youth Art Education, focusing on injecting cultural nourishment into building a new type of international relations for "B&R".
"MEET IN BEIJING" is also a vibrant frontier art position; the innovative spiritual core has become an endless stream of power for the art festival. The Super Cello Festival, sponsored by Professor ZHU Yibing, Director of the Cello Teaching and Research Section at the Central Conservatory of Music, will invite world-renowned cellists and bands to perform 13 concerts and 12 masterclasses in the form of "Classical Fan and Foreign Fair"; the large doll stage drama "Papa's Time Machine" by visual artist MA Liang co-created with Hungary and German artists will bring the audience a new visual experience and tearful mind care.
The festival is divided into six sections of music, dance, drama, exhibition, outdoor music carnival and sub-festivals, in which famous artists, bands and masterpieces get together; the forms are more diverse; the content is also more abundant. Chinese tradition and contemporary fine masterpieces and the essence of the foreign culture and the arts around the world, here contest and blend each other.
The interactive percussion music by Canadian BAM percussion band will let the audience experience a comedy trip. Large concerts separately organized by two popular stars of Chinese pop music - Taiwanese singer Fan Fan and Hong Kong singer Deng Ziqi (G.E.M.), will become a popular choice for this year's popular concert. In addition, Pop Music Festival, with a good reputation of the country's outdoor music festival brand, will fully return, in which the music style will cover the cable, folk, pop, rock and roll, etc. And the Mexican band "Belanova", the Russian band "Oligarkh", Haitian band "Vox Sambou" will inspire the whole performance. Following the "China-Latin America and Caribbean 2016 Year of Culture Exchange ", this year's Latin American Arts Season has also served again, to send the Latin American and Caribbean whirlwind to several places.
"MEET IN BEIJING", bearing its original purpose in mind, always aims to create the festival for people via initiatives of adhering to provide free performances or with low fares and to hold square performances, lectures and workshops in the community and universities, whose public welfare effect continues to show. The drama "To Kill A Mockingbird" by the University of Montana as a program of the campus performance series of the festival, will provide a chance for the Chinese college students to appreciate this Western modern classic works.
From the National Centre for the Performing Arts, Beijing Tianqiao Performing Arts Center to the Capital Gymnasium, the National Library Arts Center, the Capital Theater, and then to the New Tsinghua Auditorium of Tsinghua University, Sunrise Concert Hall of Beihang University, 798 Arts Zone..."MEET IN BEIJING", waving magic wand, spreads the breath of art to Beijing and the country's many cultural space, bringing endless vitality and surprise for these places. Embrace the spring, but also embrace art! "MEET IN BEIJING" makes the city more beautiful.

I can't believe that I spent nearly two hours last night trying to find us a bed for the night of Sat 29 Sept. We are dropping The Loom Monkey off at Durham Uni and as its the longest distance I will ever have driven I have no intention of doing the journey in both directions on the same day.
Slowly I worked my way south from Durham, clicking with my mouse to see if I could find a bed for us for ONE NIGHT only.No room at the inn, hotel, ghastly looking motel. Nothing!
I was 110 miles from Durham, somewhere near Rotherham when I found what must have been the only spare bed in the UK.I can't say I was ecstatic. Restover Lodge Hotel doesn't sound TOO bad till you see the picture they were stupid enough to provide online. In its favour was that we could probably just slide down a motorway sliproad straight into the car park. I suppose you keep your eyes closed when you are asleep, so you don't really have to look where you are staying, do you?
Something stopped me from booking online. I had found a B & B in Richmond, Yorks, about 35 miles south of Durham and it wasn't possible to check availability online, and I thought that 1015 was just a few minutes too late to call, so I left it till 0815 this morning. Whoops, the delightful Jill was having a lie-on, something she doesn't usually have the chance to do and muggins here just ruined it. "You won't believe it, I've had to disappoint so many people over that Saturday night". Oh yes, I would! Something is going on on that date. The government must have passed a new law that obliges everyone to sleep away from home on Sat 29 Sept 2007!!
But guess what? She had just had a cancellation the night before and we have a bed at the top of this very nice looking house in Richmond, Yorks only 35 miles, less than an hours drive, from Durham. Hurrah!

V, a re-imagining of a 1983 series, is premiering on ABC tomorrow at eight. There seems to be a lot of of this "re-imagining" going on in the sci-fi world, lately…
V chronicles the coming to earth of a group known as The Visitors – aliens who look and sound like incredibly delightful humans but who actually turn out to be lizard-bug aliens in suits. (And, no, that doesn't count as a spoiler because a: re-imagined series and b: already revealed in promotional material from ABC.) The show hinges on the various reactions earthlings have to these newcomers, which range from worship to mistrust to outright antagonism.
Personally, I'd really like to get a quality sci-fi series on television. I'm just not so sure this is it. It sounds a little…well, boring, to be completely honest. The pilot is going to have to have some serious wow factor for the show to earn my devotion.
The most sci-fi television street cred this show has so far is its cast, which includes Morena Baccarin and Alan Tudyk of Firefly (although Tudyk is appearing in the pilot but not listed as a major cast member), Elizabeth Mitchell of Lost, Joel Gretsch of The 4400, and Laura Vandervoort of Smallville. Joining them is a whole ensemble cast including Morris Chestnut and Scott Wolf.
The first nine minutes of V's pilot are available here. If you ask me, they should have stuck to the creepy-as-hell close-ups of Morena Baccarin that have been airing on ABC for weeks and let well enough alone, because the first nine minutes are not particularly interesting plot-wise and include one of the most poorly executed CGI explosions I have seen this decade.
So V has some serious work cut out for it in terms of fighting for survival, especially since it's airing in "pods" – four episodes now, and then some more after the Olympics (that's all the way in March, folks). Oy vay.

ASEAN foreign ministers raise "concerns" over China's reclamation, importance of "non-militarisation" in South China Sea
The Association of Southeast Asian Nations foreign ministers have raised "concerns" on the land reclamation and activities of China in the disputed South China Sea.
This was contained in the Joint Communique of the 50th ASEAN Foreign Ministers' Meeting, which the Philippine Department of Foreign Affairs released to the media on Sunday night.
"We discussed extensively the matters relating to the South China Sea and took note of the concerns expressed by some Ministers on the land reclamations and activities in the area, which have eroded trust and confidence, increased tensions and may undermine peace, security and stability in the region," the Joint Communique read.
The foreign ministers also stressed the importance of "non-militarisation and self-restraint" in the conduct of activities by claimants and all other states, including those mentioned in the 2002 Declaration of Conduct (DOC) of Parties that could further complicate the situation and escalate tensions in the South China Sea.
China has reclaimed seven shoals and reefs in the disputed waters and reportedly has installed military equipment in the artificial islands.
Beijing, which has been claiming almost the entire South China Sea, has continued with its activities despite the July 2016 ruling of an arbitral tribunal declaring China's sovereign claim in the whole areas as illegal and violates the United Nations Conventions on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS). Aside from the Philippines and China, other claimants in the South China Sea are Brunei, Malaysia and Vietnman, also ASEAN countries, and Taiwan.
The ASEAN foreign ministers also reaffirmed the importance of maintaining and promoting peace, security, stability, safety and freedom of navigation in and over-flight above the South China Sea and the need to enhance mutual trust and confidence, exercise self-restraint in the conduct of activities and avoid actions that may further complicate the situation, and pursue peaceful resolution of disputes in accordance with international law, including the 1982 UNCLOS.
They also underscored the importance of the "full and effective implementation of the DOC in its entirety."
They also welcomed the conclusion and adoption of the framework of a Code of Conduct in the South China Sea, which "will facilitate the work for the conclusion of an effective COC on a mutually-agreed timeline."
The foreign ministers also reaffirmed their commitment to combat radicalization and violent extremism through "whole-of-nation approach as opposed to a purely military option."
They also reiterated their grave concerns over the escalation of tensions in the Korean Peninsula and called for the resumption of dialogue in order to de-escalate tensions and create conditions conducive to peace and stability. Celerina Monte/DMS

Dafe snorted when I said that Mothers' Ruin could go global. The point is, global phenomena have to start somewhere in the world. Why not in a room above a pub in a small corner of New Cross, SE14?

Looking for some mass transit mementos? You're in luck. This week, the transit agency opened the doors to a new online store at ctagifts.com, partnering with a New York-based company called Image Exchange to offer old faves and some brand-new public transit products. On Tuesday, "Going Public's" Kyra Kyles offered up opinions about which items are must-buys (messenger bag), and which (cough, CTA shower curtain, cough) don't deserve a second look.
Riders responded with their own takes on CTA sales items and sounded off on other train- and bus-related business.
Clinging to the curtain
Oh, you have broken my heart. The first thing I did when I moved to Chicago nearly three years ago was to buy a CTA shower curtain.

Over the last few years my body has massively changed; I've reached my mid thirties and things are starting to stick out, wobble and grow in places that were once taught and pert. One of my biggest insecurities is the bingo wing situation that seems to creep up on the majority of women no matter how much you try, as well as the back fat that sits proudly over the edge of some of my strappier dresses. When I put on a sundress over the bank holiday I became incredibly aware of these areas and thought about covering them up with a cardigan, but within about ten minutes it was so ruddy hot I whipped it off and lathered on some sun lotion instead. Why should I not be able to enjoy the heat of the sun on my skin as much as the next person, just because my body doesn't necessarily fit the societal 'norm'?
Social media provides an incredibly easy way to pick fault, make fun of and generally insult those that might choose differently to you; with the warmer weather the images of larger ladies in small pieces of clothing start to creep into my timelines, with corresponding insults and jokes about their appearance. It brings with it snarky comments about women needing to cover up or hide away, and it feeds into our insecurities when we just want to sit on the beach in peace. We're all out there just doing out best, trying to keep cool and enjoy the sunshine - no matter our size, shape or clothing choices - so here's a friendly reminder to not judge anyone else for what they're wearing. Whether it's a swimsuit with denim cut offs, a bingo-wing exposing sundress or a maxi that's quite tight, just remember that that person is probably experiencing insecurities and you pointing them out to the wider world achieves nothing but cruelty.
So the next time you start to subconsciously pick fault with an outfit or the way a woman is presenting herself, flip that around and think about how happy she probably is enjoying a touch of sun. I'm well aware that my skin is practically see-through and that my arms have seen better days, but as long as I'm happy who else are those bingos affecting?
So with that dealt with, let's chat about this super cute little outfit I wore over the bank holiday weekend to keep me cool and comfy. Shirt dresses are such a great summer option as they offer structure and elegance while still keeping your body feeling cool; the cotton material is perfect for sitting in a pub garden or wearing to the office, and this white number from Joanie looks effortlessly retro-chic too. The little yellow embroidered flowers add a subtle feminine detail, while the lining ensures you won't be flashing your knickers to anyone stood behind you on the escalator! Annoyingly the waistline seems to pop out when you move and really could've done with an extra button (I'll be sewing in a popper this weekend,) but the pockets more than make up for it. I'm so easily pleased.
Metallics are so hot for summer, and these gold sliders from Kurt Geiger are just the ticket. I bought them during those scorching few days a couple weeks ago as I'd yet to take out my summer wardrobe from the garage, and have been wearing them with everything from maxi dresses to jeans and tees since. They're so comfy and really help to effortlessly update an outfit - proof that sometimes the simplest of accessories are the best! Also worth mentioning is this gorge Chloe dupe handbag from Shein which cost less than twenty quid; it's incredibly sturdy, large enough to fit all my essentials, is the perfect shade of nude and doesn't feel like a 'fake' (more like it's been inspired by the iconic style.)
I felt happy wearing this outfit and had quite a few compliments on my dress, so that's all that matters to me right now. That and another cold glass of rosé being delivered to me ASAP...

Finding a photo to illustrate 'Inside' was quite a tough one. Most of my pics are outside shots.
But here's one. A couple of years ago my Dad was 80. We'd lost Mum the previous Christmas and it had been tough for everyone. So as Dad's 80th birthday approached, we wondered what we could do to give him a bit of a lift. He's always loved horseracing, and I remember family outings as a child to Goodwood, Plumpton and Fontwell to see the horses race, either on the flat or over the sticks.
The first weekend of August was Glorious Goodwood and fitted in really well with the timing of his birthday. https://www.goodwood.com/horse-racing/glorious-goodwood/glorious-goodwood-home.aspx#4T3dcgTGlwliQw5L.97
We arranged for his brother to fly down from oop North, organised a stretch limo, an enormous picnic, drinks and 16 daughters, husbands, nieces, nephews and brother aged 3 to 80 piled in and went to Goodwood for the day. The sun shone, the horses (sometimes) won, and it was really a day that memories were made of.

STOP Spammin' Me
LEAVE ME ALONE!!!! If I could reach any or all of you, I would strangle you. With my bare hands. Twice. Seriously.
Stop texting my cell phone. Stop sending me emails. Stop leaving voicemail on my answering machine. Now, refer again to the paragraph above.
I am sick of logging on, answering or replaying only to be met with your meaningless garbage. I'm tired of having to waste valuable time erasing or deleting it so that stuff that IS important doesn't get lost in the shuffle.
Are we clear yet on what I want? In the words of Greta Garbo (well, sort of): "I want to be (LEFT) alone."
Now, borrowing from the great philosopher Forrest Gump: And that's all I have to say about that.

No, seriously, I hate the spam too. It's just rude to have someone solicit my cell phone.
XM Radio is driving me NUTS. I bought a new SUV in March. It came with 3 months free XM. I never listened to it the 3 months because I have a favorite station. So... now that it's expired, they call EVERY.SINGLE.DAY
I have told them I am not interested, please take me off the list. I usually ignore the phone call and let it go to voice mail. I have about 30 missed '877' calls on my cell at any given time! Drives me crazy.

I use thunderbird as my email program. It lets me write customized email filters.
I set up some filters and had them send the caught messages to a particular folder to be sure it was not catching real email. Then after some experience with it and tuning, I changed the working filters to send the email unread to trash. I still have some that send what they catch to the special folder for review.
I get very little spam in my inbox now, probably less than one a day, maybe five in the special folder for review, the rest, into the trash.
I would complain to your car company about XM.

Now that I have reached over a hundred views, I believe it is time for yet another blog post. So today happens to correspond with Apple announcing what their next operating system will be called and what features it all has. So, without further ado let's begin!
So first of all, if you are one of my Twitter followers, you will have seen that the new OS is to be called OS X Mountain Lion. Yup. There is now more "Mac" at the beginning of the name. Also, like in my tweet: Mountain Lion? Apple seems to be running out of ideas for large cats. So far, in their naming of OS X Apple has used: Cheetah (10.0), Puma (10.1), Jaguar (10.2), Panther (10.3), Tiger (10.4), Leopard (10.5), Snow Leopard (10.7), the current version, Lion (10.7), and now Mountain Lion (10.8). I don't know about you, but it seems to me that Apple may be running out of ideas. What do you think about OS X House Cat for 10.9? Hmmm…. the internet might like that.
Anyways, enough about the history of names. Let's move on to the meat, the body of the Lion…. What this upgrade is really about.
So. The big "thing" for Lion was that Apple was bringing iOS full circle. iOS, the operating system for the iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad was originally based on the Mac. It was then taken an made to fit on mobile products and became what it is today. To bring it "full circle" Apple brought a large amount of features out of iOS and implemented them into Mac OS X Lion.
Now that we have that straight, we can go onto Mountain Lion. Looking at what was all announced today, it seems that we are going to be seeing many more iOS features coming our way onto the Mac. Inspired by the latest and greatest iOS 5, we will be getting better Notifications, Reminders and the Game Center. There will also be a better integration of iCloud to help keep all of your Apple devises in sync and just like in iOS 5, there will be Twitter throughout. This version of OS X will also be much safer according to Apple. Lets hope it is and that Apple can keep the lead in the race for the least amount of viruses.
That's pretty much it, so I leave you with a link if you want to learn even more about what I have talked about here. And to leave you I have a line from a book:
"So long and thanks for all the fish."
-I'm not a dolphin though.

I think it really depends on the group, because most of the times I've experience this, the noise level has gone UP, everyone is yelling at each other and engaging with the screen. Also, in my language in society class, we had to do a project where we recorded speech interactions and wrote a paper on them, and I wrote about me and my friends playing Super Smash Brothers Brawl. One of the things I noticed a lot of was that in games like this, people generally pick a character onscreen and identify with them, use the first person, talk to other characters as if they were real-world interactions.

I've found one needs more patience with watching people play than I have in those kind of settings.

On the up (or maybe down) side, once you are at parties where your friends' kids are around 4 and up, watching them play games is *totally hysterical*, esp. if the host has a game that the other kids haven't encountered before.

That makes me feel like Angry Birds has higher priority at that moment, though I sometimes do the same thing with texting. Anyways, games tai us away from reality. Let's all just go back to playing with sticks and that ball tied to a wooden cup.

Why You Need to Be on the BrandWagon
This Element is an excerpt from Don't Mess with the Logo: Tools to Build Brands with Impact , by Andy Milligan and Jon Edge. Available in digital format. Why brands are even more important than you imagined!. Brands do not change the world, heal the poor, cure the sick, or act as ambassadors of international peace. People do all that. But brands are one of the best tools we have created to help people achieve all that. Because they make money. How much money? Billions. Everyone now understands that brands equal long-term money. And long-term money gives you the power to change things. Thats why were obsessed with brands. And that is why you have to be on the brandwagon.

Ok, so everyone knows about the Big Dipper, right? (stupid question, of course) But does everyone know the names of those stars? 7 main and Alcor, Mizar's buddy?
and last and least Alcor
anyway, sort of by accident, I noticed a sort of match up with these stars and places in North America. It had to do with Gravity Falls of course. So, if I were to match up the largest [active] volcano in the world, Piedmont, Gravity Falls, and my hometown, they would match up to four of the stars. (My hometown has high amounts of radioactivity, and an island nearby used to be used to test probbably-nuclear secret military weapons) Our street (who's name translates to Up/Rise, the opposite of fall, of course) had…

Today I was told that there's a strong possibility that I will be going to Renfrew. There's an inpatient treatment center in Philadelphia that I can go to. I was O.K. with the fact that I might have to go to inpatient when this all started because I just wanted a break from all of my stress at school and home, but now I'm scared and can't help but think about all the times I'm going to have to eat and LET IT DIGEST. And I'm not going to have anything to hide behind-- all my insecurites and fears will come to the surface, where I'll be forced to not only confront them, but conquer them as well.
-- I wanted to see if anyone on here went to Renfrew. If so, PLEASE let me know. I want to get an idea of what it's like before I get shoved in an UPS box and shipped there.
Thanks A Bunch,

Hello. check w/ brittany leigh. there are a coulple gals on here that went to renfrew. search for the posts on the documentary thin. you don't have to watch it if it will be a trigger, but in the post I ask her to compare her experience to the girls in the video. You will be great. Try not to worry and just live
I was one of the first women to go to Renfrew back in 1987. It was much different back then. They were still working out the kinks and there were only 15 of us there at one time. For me, it was a great experience. I needed to be with other people that were going through what I was. I needed a break from the outpatient therapy that I was receiving and I learned a lot about myself while I was there. At the time, they had a minium weight standard and as long as you didn't fall below that, weight was not really what they focused on. They wanted you to learn how to make your own choices. I know it is much different now, but from what I have read through the alumni newsletter, it is still a place that can help people. What I saw when I watched THIN was not at all what I experienced. I did not come out of there recovered, but I did have a great understanding of my ED and had some tools to help with it. If you want to message me, I can tell you more. Like I said, when I went Renfrew was a tiny place in PA that had 3 buildings.
Good luck.
Good luck.
I was at Renfrew in Phila. in 1999. Don't worry about a thing, you'll be fine. I sent you a message.

Time for another review of a record quite far removed from the sort of stuff I normally listen to. I first heard Lanterns On The Lake in March of this year at SXSW. To be honest, I wasn't expecting to like them (an opinion reinforced when I saw the violin on stage) but when they played I was pretty blown away by the power of their music. Now the album has arrived from the Newcastle sextet, and it manages to mix fragile and gentle folk tendencies with flickers and blips of electronica in a really satisfying way.
'Lungs Quicken' is a subtle introduction to the album sung by Hazel Wilde, ethereal but with a ticking electronic backing, while 'If I've Been Unkind' brings Adam Sykes' vocals to the fore on a more straightforward acoustic song that still has loops and swirls in the background. Then 'Keep On Trying' sweeps by, all airy and breathy, followed by 'Ships in the Rain', which sounds like a traditional north-east lament. This is one of a number of tracks that help inform the album's overall themes of the sea and the life that surrounds it.
'A Kingdom' starts to pick up the pace with a driving snare. The violin is quite prominent here, in a way that reminds me of The Waterboys rather than in an overtly folky style. Next, one of the longest tracks on here, 'The Places We Call Home', starts quietly over an electronic rhythm but slowly builds to peaks and then falls back - I remember this one sounding great live as it shimmers and soars. 'Blanket of Leaves' has a dark undertone (I picture it being about someone laying down to die), and soon gives way to 'Tricks'. One of the best tracks on the album, it's atmospheric and moving, with a great drum rhythm and swooping guitars and violins.
'You're Almost There' is a piano-led, dark ballad made for a moody black and white video with cars driving across the desert in Utah, campfires and horses (anyone at Bella Union want me to direct it?). Last but one is 'I Love You, Sleepyhead', with lyrics about being "just in time to save a life", it starts sleepily enough but is another that builds to a crescendo. That just leaves you with 'Not Going Back To The Harbour' to listen to, a brief, fragile acoustic number to close things off.
If you buy the album from Rough Trade Shops you get a 4 track bonus disc with 2 new songs - 'The Watch House And The Daughter' and 'Father's Song', an alternative version of 'Not Going Back To The Harbour' and the Dustin O'Halloran remix of 'Ships In The Rain'.
There are hints of a lot of other bands in the mix here, from Sigur Ros to Mazzy Star, but none of these influences get in the way of the spirit of their music. Much like the Mercury nominated album by King Creosote & Jon Hopkins this record manages to combine different genres to produce something that transcends both. Definitely the best thing that Bella Union have put out this year. And if you like the record make sure you try to catch the band live to experience the full force of their music.
